No, the Reparations Task Force Report Isn't a 'Watershed Moment.' Action Will Be
Otis R. Taylor Jr.
Allie Whitehurst speaks during a reparations listening session in Oakland on May 28, 2022. Whitehurst emphasized the importance of correcting educational disparities, including reducing class sizes and getting kids the personal attention they need. 'That, to me, would be one of the ways in which we can provide reparations, because when this boat rises for Black folk, it rises for everybody,' she said. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)
uvVon Brown approached the microphone toward the end of the reparations listening session on May 28 in Oakland, exactly two weeks to the day since a white supremacist gunman walked into a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and started shooting Black people.
Brown wanted to talk about her family and their lives on the Monterey Peninsula, the place she's thought of as home for most of her life, the place she no longer recognizes.
Her mother was raised in Pacific Grove, one of three cities that make up the peninsula, which juts from California's Central Coast like an unattached puzzle piece.
"There's just a lot of Black history that's here, not only in Monterey County, but all over California," Brown told me last week, the day California's Reparations Task Force released its first report. "It's not preserved anymore."
The nine-member task force — the first statewide body in the country to study institutional and systemic anti-Black racism, a wretchedness spawned from the horrors of chattel slavery — made several recommendations in the nearly 500-page report. Racism in this country is linked to income inequality, education inequality, mass incarceration and the widening racial wealth gap.
Here's what the task force says is needed to achieve racial equity in California: housing grants, state-backed mortgages, higher pay and free health care, for starters. The preliminary recommendations included the establishment of an agency to address past and potential future harms, and to assist people in filing eligibility claims.
In March, the task force voted in favor of lineage-based reparations, limiting eligibility to descendants of enslaved people or of free Black people living in the country in the 19th century. The group will release a comprehensive reparations plan next summer.
Reparations in California
Explore why California launched the first-in-the-nation task force to study reparations for Black people
Days before the report was released, inside the California Ballroom — a $300-an-hour art deco space used for weddings, conferences and family reunions on Franklin Street — the listening session, one of several planned this summer, was sparsely attended, with about four dozen people and as many more watching the livestream.
I was expecting a scene reminiscent of the movement to secure reparations for people of Japanese descent incarcerated during WWII, where for three days people testified in a packed auditorium at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, as my colleague Annelise Finney reported in February, marking the 80th year of the executive order that forced people, many American citizens, to abandon their jobs, schools and homes.
But this listening session was muted in comparison because, like the task force, which could produce a model for countrywide reparations, an argument must first be presented because the totality of America's racist history isn't taught in schools.
The road to racial equity in America starts in California, which entered the union as a free state in 1850.
In 1849, delegates met in Monterey to draft the state's constitution, declaring California a free state where "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, unless for punishment of crimes, shall ever be tolerated." California's first governor, the repugnant racist Peter Hardeman Burnett, sanctioned campaigns to exterminate Indigenous populations. He also wanted to block Black people from entering the state.
It didn't work out that way, but Black people have still had a hard row to hoe in California.
In the early 20th century, Black people arrived on the Monterey Peninsula as fieldworkers, putting down roots in Pacific Grove. Brown's grandmother was part of the Great Migration of Black folks fleeing Jim Crow-era lynchings and white mob violence in Arkansas and other southern states. Brown said her family — aunts, uncles and cousins — lived on the same street.

Fort Ord, an Army base overlooking Monterey Bay that closed in 1994, drew Black families from around the country, with many, including Brown's mother, settling in Seaside. Many areas of Monterey County, like Carmel and Del Rey Oaks, were off-limits because of restrictive housing covenants that barred Black people from owning property in certain areas, Brown said, citing "African Americans of Monterey County," a history of the county by Jan Batiste Adkins.
History is about all that's left of the robust Black life that once thrived in the county.
"It's like when you go back there now, it's completely different," said Brown, 34, who believes that providing land should be a reparations priority. "It's almost like every trace of the Black community is almost gone."
The median home price in Seaside, according to Zillow, an online real estate marketplace, is almost $800,000. Now a sales representative for a human resources management company, Brown graduated from Seaside High School in 2005. She then moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Many in her family, including her mother, followed, unable to sustain the high cost of living on the California coast. In the course of her lifetime, Brown has seen Black wealth evaporate in Seaside.
"It just doesn't feel like home because all of the families that grew up there are gone," said Brown, who moved to the Bay Area during the pandemic.
The Bay Area, while racially diverse, remains deeply segregated, according to analyses by researchers at UC Berkeley's Othering and Belonging Institute. In an October 2021 report titled "The Most Segregated Cities and Neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area," researchers, using 2020 Census data, found "that the Bay Area is significantly more segregated than it was in 1970, 1980, or even 1990," and said that eight of the nine counties "are more segregated as of 2020 than they were in 1970, and 7 of the 9 are more segregated in 2020 than they were in 1980."
Oakland is home to six of the 10 most segregated Black neighborhoods in the Bay Area, neighborhoods that were established because of racist housing covenants and redlining, the racist housing policy started during the New Deal that determined the loan-worthiness of neighborhoods across the country for government-backed mortgages using color-coded maps. If an area was redlined, more than likely that's where Black people lived.
In Oakland, Black neighborhoods were torn apart, houses and businesses demolished, to make room for the interstate highways that connected white, suburban homeowners to the cities they fled. The Great Recession, sparked in part by the foreclosure crisis 14 years ago, caused the median net worth of Black households nationally to drop 43%, according to a 2014 report by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank that conducts public opinion polling, demographic research and content analysis.
Many Black people just can't afford to live in the cities they think of as home.
The Bay Area Equity Atlas, a tool that tracks racial inequities, found that, on average, Black workers in the Bay Area earn about half of what white men earn. The median wage for Black women workers is $52,000, and Black men make $3,000 more, according to the Atlas, which used 2019 data. White men make $107,000, a figure that's reinforced by the fact that only 33% of Black high school graduates are college-ready, compared to more than half of white graduates.
I reached out to Sarah Treuhaft, vice president of research at PolicyLink, a nonprofit research organization dedicated to advancing economic and social equity, to hear what the data tells us about the Bay Area.
"It tells me that structural racism persists in this region. If there was no structural racism, we would not see these differences in earnings by race and gender," she said. "There is no other reason for them, and we still even see these disparities when we look at people who have the same level of education. So it shows that there is continuing wage discrimination in the labor market and pay discrimination by race."
The state's education system doesn't provide equal opportunity, and we see it in the outcomes. Have you ever wondered how it is that 40% of the state's unhoused population is Black while just 6.5% of the state's population identifies as Black?
And get this: In Monterey County, the percentage of Black people who were unhoused was more than seven times higher than the county's Black population, according to the county's 2019 homeless census.
That's systemic racism at work.
More Reparations Coverage
"We know that people of color are more likely to live in communities that do not have well-funded schools and go to school with other low-income families," Treuhaft said. "That leads to differences in educational outcomes in high school. We really need to address segregation by race and income to get at the root of these issues."
Black people, who were kidnapped and transported to America, are the only group that hasn't received reparations for "state-sanctioned racial discrimination, while slavery afforded some white families the ability to accrue tremendous wealth," Rashawn Ray and Andre M. Perry, two senior fellows at the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy and research group, wrote in an argument for reparations published a month into the pandemic.
"In America, we have to admit that the United States was founded on the backs of slave labor that has never been repaid," Ray, a sociologist, told me in an interview. "And so, collectively, all the research I've done suggests that the only way for us to truly heal and get past the stain of racism in America is to provide reparations to descendants of enslaved Black people, as well as to engage in reparations programs in states and specific localities to address housing."
In 2018, Black Californians earned, on average, about $37,000 less than white Californians, according to the Associated Press, which hailed the reparations task force's report as a "watershed moment."
Let's save the lofty declarations for when Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a bill that grants reparations.

Cuttack To Get State-Of-The-Art Netaji Bus Terminal
By Ramakanta Biswas	 On Jan 13, 2021 - 9:35 PM
Proposed look of Netaji Bus Terminal in Cuttack
Cuttack: A state-of-the-art inter-state bus terminal will come up in Khannagar area of Cuttack with an expenditure of Rs 65 crore, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced on Wednesday.
The proposed bus terminal to be named after freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose aimed at facilitating hassle-free movement of passengers.
The bus terminal will be constructed on 12 acres of land and have modern facilities for passengers. As many as 180 buses can be parked at the terminal at once. The three-storey terminal building will have waiting rooms for passengers, food court, cloak rooms, e-vehicle charging points, among other facilities.
Moreover, an Integrated Information Management system will be there for the passengers.
An area of around 2 acres adjoining the proposed Netaji Bus terminal, will be reserved for development of commercial complex on public-private partnership (PPP) mode.
A decision has been taken to extend the Ring Road by 2 km for the proposed terminal. The detailed circulation plan will be finalised in consultation with all the stakeholders.
Notably, the existing Badambadi Bus Terminal in the Silver City caters to large number of buses on a daily basis. However, it is facing space crunch due to growing demand of bus parking.
Besides, it is reeling under various problems like lack of public amenities, encroachment by vendors and inadequate drainage, unorganised parking, undefined entry and exits, spillover of bus parking on main road due to insufficient space.

Eclipse (software)
This article is about the Eclipse IDE. For other software called "Eclipse", see Eclipse (disambiguation) § Computing.
Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) used in computer programming.[5] It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. It is the second-most-popular IDE for Java development, and, until 2016, was the most popular.[6] Eclipse is written mostly in Java and its primary use is for developing Java applications,[7] but it may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages via plug-ins, including Ada, ABAP, C, C++, C#, Clojure, COBOL, D, Erlang, Fortran, Groovy, Haskell, JavaScript, Julia,[8] Lasso, Lua, NATURAL, Perl, PHP, Prolog, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Rust, Scala, and Scheme. It can also be used to develop documents with LaTeX (via a TeXlipse plug-in) and packages for the software Mathematica. Development environments include the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) for Java and Scala, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, and Eclipse PDT for PHP, among others.

Programming tool, integrated development environment (IDE)
www.eclipse.org/eclipseide/
The initial codebase originated from IBM VisualAge.[9] The Eclipse software development kit (SDK), which includes the Java development tools, is meant for Java developers. Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse Platform, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules. Since the introduction of the OSGi implementation (Equinox) in version 3 of Eclipse, plug-ins can be plugged-stopped dynamically and are termed (OSGI) bundles.[10]
Eclipse software development kit (SDK) is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, although it is incompatible with the GNU General Public License.[11] It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without problems under IcedTea.

Eclipse was inspired by the Smalltalk-based VisualAge family of integrated development environment (IDE) products.[9] Although fairly successful, a major drawback of the VisualAge products was that developed code was not in a component-based software engineering model. Instead, all code for a project was held in a compressed database using SCID techniques (somewhat like a zip file but in a proprietary format called .dat). Individual classes could not be easily accessed, certainly not outside the tool. A team primarily at the IBM Cary, NC lab developed the new product as a Java-based replacement.[12][failed verification] In November 2001, a consortium was formed with a board of stewards to further the development of Eclipse as open-source software. It is estimated that IBM had already invested nearly $40 million by that time.[13] The original members were Borland, IBM, Merant, QNX Software Systems, Rational Software, Red Hat, SuSE, TogetherSoft, and WebGain.[14] The number of stewards increased to over 80 by the end of 2003. In January 2004, the Eclipse Foundation was created.[15]
Eclipse 3.0 (released on 21 June 2004) selected the OSGi Service Platform specifications as the runtime architecture.[16]
The Association for Computing Machinery recognized Eclipse with the 2011 ACM Software Systems Award on 26 April 2012.[17]
LicensingEdit
The Eclipse Public License (EPL) is the fundamental license under which Eclipse projects are released.[18] Some projects require dual licensing, for which the Eclipse Distribution License (EDL) is available, although use of this license must be applied for and is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Eclipse was originally released under the Common Public License, but was later re-licensed under the Eclipse Public License. The Free Software Foundation has said that both licenses are free software licenses, but are incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL).[19]
According to Lee Nackman, Chief Technology Officer of IBM's Rational division (originating in 2003) at that time, the name "Eclipse" (dating from at least 2001) was not a wordplay on Sun Microsystems, as the product's primary competition at the time of naming was Microsoft Visual Studio, which Eclipse was to eclipse.[20]
Different versions of Eclipse have been given different science-related names. The versions named after Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede, which are moons of Jupiter, were followed by a version named after Galileo, the discoverer of those moons. These were followed by two sun-themed names, Helios of Greek mythology, and Indigo, one of the seven colors of a rainbow (which is produced by the sun). The version after that, Juno, has a triple meaning: a Roman mythological figure, an asteroid, and a spacecraft to Jupiter.[21] Kepler, Luna, and Mars continued the astronomy theme, and then Neon and Oxygen constituted a theme of chemical elements. Photon represented a return to sun-themed names.
As of 2018[update], the alphabetic scheme was abandoned in order to better align with the new Simultaneous Release strategy.[22] Releases are named in the format YYYY-MM to reflect the quarterly releases, starting with version 4.9 named 2018-09.[23]
ReleasesEdit
Since 2006, the Foundation has coordinated an annual Simultaneous Release.[24] Each release includes the Eclipse Platform and several other Eclipse projects.
From 2008 through 2018, each Simultaneous Release had occurred on the 4th Wednesday of June. In 2018 the project switched to quarterly (13 week) YYYY-MM releases without intermediate service releases.[25]

Future release
^ There is a 3.8 release of Eclipse Juno; it is not promoted on the main downloads page, but a packaged distribution is available for download.[41] Eclipse 3.8 provides bugfixes for Indigo & adds Java 7 support, and its maintenance was dual streamed with 4.2.[42] Features and plug-ins equivalent to a packaged distribution may be added from within the IDE.
ArchitectureEdit
Eclipse uses plug-ins to provide all the functionality within and on top of the run-time system. Its run-time system is based on Equinox, an implementation of the OSGi core framework specification.[74]
In addition to allowing the Eclipse Platform to be extended using other programming languages, such as C and Python, the plug-in framework allows the Eclipse Platform to work with typesetting languages like LaTeX[75] and networking applications such as telnet and database management systems. The plug-in architecture supports writing any desired extension to the environment, such as for configuration management. Java and CVS support is provided in the Eclipse SDK, with support for other version control systems provided by third-party plug-ins.
With the exception of a small run-time kernel, everything in Eclipse is a plug-in. Thus, every plug-in developed integrates with Eclipse in the same way as other plug-ins; in this respect, all features are "created equal".[76] Eclipse provides plug-ins for a wide variety of features, some of which are from third parties using both free and commercial models. Examples of plug-ins include for Unified Modeling Language (UML), for Sequence and other UML diagrams, a plug-in for DB Explorer, and many more.
The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT), offering an IDE with a built-in Java incremental compiler and a full model of the Java source files. This allows for advanced refactoring techniques and code analysis. The IDE also makes use of a workspace, in this case a set of metadata over a flat filespace allowing external file modifications as long as the corresponding workspace resource is refreshed afterward.
Eclipse implements the graphical control elements of the Java toolkit called Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT), whereas most Java applications use the Java standard Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) or Swing. Eclipse's user interface also uses an intermediate graphical user interface layer called JFace, which simplifies the construction of applications based on SWT. Eclipse was made to run on Wayland during a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Project in 2014.[77]
As of 2017[update], language packs being developed by the Babel Project provide translations into over 40 natural languages.[4]
Rich client platformEdit
Eclipse provides the rich client platform (RCP) for developing general-purpose applications.
The following components constitute the rich client platform:
Equinox OSGi – a standard bundling framework
Core platform – boot Eclipse, run plug-ins[citation needed]
Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) – a portable widget toolkit
JFace – viewer classes to bring model view controller programming to SWT, file buffers, text handling, text editors
Eclipse Workbench – views, editors, perspectives, wizards
Examples of rich client applications based on Eclipse are:
IBM Notes 8 and 9
Attachmate-Novell NetIQ Designer for Identity Manager
Apache Directory Studio
Remote Component Environment
DBeaver, a SQL client software
Portfolio Performance[78]
UDig, a GIS software
AnyLogic, a multimethod simulation modeling tool
Server platformEdit
Eclipse supports development for Tomcat, GlassFish and many other servers and is often capable of installing the required server (for development) directly from the IDE. It supports remote debugging, allowing a user to watch variables and step through the code of an application that is running on the attached server.
Web Tools PlatformEdit
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project is an extension of the Eclipse platform with tools for developing Web and Java EE applications. It includes source and graphical editors for a variety of languages, wizards and built-in applications to simplify development, and tools and APIs to support deploying, running, and testing apps.[79]
Modeling platformEdit
The Modeling project contains all the official projects of the Eclipse Foundation focusing on model-based development technologies. All are compatible with the Eclipse Modeling Framework created by IBM. Those projects are separated in several categories: Model Transformation, Model Development Tools, Concrete Syntax Development, Abstract Syntax Development, Technology and Research, and Amalgam.
Model Transformation projects uses Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) based models as an input and produce either a model or text as an output. Model to model transformation projects includes ATLAS Transformation Language (ATL), an open source transformation language and toolkit used to transform a given model or to generate a new model from a given EMF model. Model to text transformation projects contains Acceleo, an implementation of MOFM2T, a standard model to text language from the Object Management Group (OMG). The Acceleo code generator can generate any textual language (Java, PHP, Python, etc.) from EMF based models defined with any metamodel (Unified Modeling Language (UML), Systems Modeling Language (SysML), etc.). It is open-source.
Model Development Tools projects are implementations of various modeling standards used in the industry, and their toolkits. Among those projects can be found implementations of several standards:
Systems Modeling Language (SysML)
Object Constraint Language (OCL)
Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)
Interactive Media Manager (IMM)
Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR)
XML Schema (XSD)
National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA)
The Concrete Syntax Development project contains the Graphical Modeling Framework, an Eclipse-based framework dedicated to the graphical representation of EMF based models.[citation needed]
The Abstract Syntax Development project hosts the Eclipse Modeling Framework, core of most of the modeling project of the Eclipse Foundation and the framework available for EMF like Connected Data Objects (CDO), EMF query or EMF validation.
Technology and Research projects are prototypes of Modeling project; this project is used to host all the modeling projects of the Eclipse Foundation during their incubation phase.[citation needed]
Amalgam provides the packaging and integration between all the available modeling tools for the Eclipse package dedicated to modeling tools.[80]
Application lifecycle managementEdit
Application lifecycle management (ALM) and task management in Eclipse need an optional component called Mylyn (/ˈmaɪlɪn/), an open-source implementation of the task-focused interface. It provides an API for tools embedding the task-focused interface. For software developers, it helps a developer work efficiently with many different tasks (such as bugs, problem reports or new features). Tasks are integrated into Mylyn. For all tasks that have been integrated, Mylyn monitors user activity and tries to identify information relevant to the task at hand. It uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the related information. Mylyn can integrate with repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, Redmine, Mantis,[81] JIRA, Unfuddle,[82] and GitHub.[83] It focuses on improving productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit, Mylyn is also meant to facilitate multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.
The project name comes from myelin, an electrically insulating layer that surrounds neurons' axons.[84] The original name of this project, "Mylar", replicated a trademark of a boPET film company, so the Eclipse Foundation changed the project name.[85]
ExtensionsEdit
Eclipse supports a rich selection of extensions, adding support for Python via PyDev, Android development via Google's ADT (superseded by Android Studio since 2015), JavaFX via e(fx)clipse, JavaScript, jQuery, and many others at the Eclipse Marketplace. Valable is a Vala plug-in for Eclipse.[86]
Alternative distributionsEdit
Several alternative distributions exist in the Eclipse project.
PHP Development ToolsEdit
Further information: PHP Development Tools
The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) Development Tools project provides a framework for the Eclipse platform. The project encompasses all development components, including code-completion, develop PHP and facilitate extensibility. It leverages the existing Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) and Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK).[87]
Android Development ToolsEdit
Android Development Tools (ADT) was superseded in 2015 by the Eclipse foundation's own plugin, called Andmore: Development Tools for Android,[88] after Google discontinued development of their plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, that is designed to provide an integrated environment in which to build Android applications. ADT/Andmore extends the abilities of Eclipse to let developers set up new Android projects, create an application UI, add packages based on the Android Framework API, debug their applications using the Android SDK tools, and export signed (or unsigned) .apk files in order to distribute their applications. It is freely available to download. Googles' ADT was the official IDE for Android until 2015 but was replaced by Eclipse's Andmore and the official Android Studio.[89][90]

Ahmadis are working around the clock…they educate their children only so that they may grow older and pay chanda to Ahmadiyya, they volunteer so that the Mirza family gets free labor at their masjids, they learn western education only so that Ahmadiyya may benefit, they go to work, only so that Ahmadiyya may benefit. These people are all sick and twisted and in reality they worship the Mirza family, not any god.
In the video posted below, this Ahmadi mullah, Mubashir Ahmad Kahloon (Head of Dar Al-Ifta Rabwah, Pakistan) is giving a speech, this is an exerpt from Jalsa Salana Qadian 2015, 5th Speech of Day 1. He basically lies and tells Ahmadis some colossal lies. Muslims will not be asked any of the questions that he presents, its a total lie. However, he is following the orders of the Mirza family, and the standing order is to squeeze all the money out of Ahmadis and make them work for free and sell Ahmadiyya. Sell sell sell!!!!!
Aan Hazrat (pbuh) did not appeal for financial sacrifices? Were it for the personge of The Holy Prophet of Islam.For the progress of religious cause,the financial sacrifices are inevitable. Quran says: INNA ALLAHASH TRA MINAL MOUMAININA ANFUSAHUM WA AM WALAHUM BEANNA LAHUMUL JANNATA. (Al Taubah 111)" Allah has bought from the beleivers their wealth and souls in exchange with paradise." So this is very stupid idea to criticize the Chanda System of Jamaat Ahmadiyya.On difficult occassion Aan Hazrat himself collected Chanda.Once he made appeal when Abu Bakar Siddiq brought entire of his household whereas Ummar e Farooq presented half of his household for the cause of Islam. Only Munafeqeen(hypocrites) used to critcize such appeals. Quran says in Surah Mujadla v13, "IZA NAJETUM UR RASULA FAQADDEMU BEINA YADA NAJWAAKUM SADAQA." Oh, people of Islam,when you visit Aan Hazrat(pbuh) for any consultation then offer him some chanda as well.
1. Muhammad (Saw) appealed the way a govt appeals for money during a war. Muhammad (SaW) was not running a non-profit corporation.
2. So your entire ignorance here exists because you never studied Political science and business in the 20th century.
Ahmadis give chanda generouly for the love of Allah and for the progress of tabligh. Perhaps non ahmadis do not know that this money is used for building mosques, for publishing magazines,for translating Quran, for education in jamia and madrassas, for social work like "humanity first", for tabligh, for helping ahmadis in need ,for publishing books to counter all your lies against ahmadiyya and for the general running of the jamaat . Note that ahmadiyya association does not take any grant from government. We are financially autonomous through contribution of all sincere ahmadis and this makes our pride. We ahmadis are as generous to the cause of Islam as the true followers of the Holy Prophet(saw) should be. And we are very blessed because of this generosity, alhamdolillah.
Thanks for the feedback. Below are my comments.
1. Your money does not get spent like you think. You have never seen a balance sheet in your life. Ahmadiyya never publishes those. Especially not in Mauritius.
2. If you are sooooo confident that your money gets spent on those things….show us the Income Statement of your jamaat from Mauritius. How much money was collected in 2016? And where was it spent? What percentage of that money was spent in Mauritius? And what percentage was sent to the UK?
3. Humanity First is a separate non-profit, they get funding from outside sources also…and further, they have refused to publish their balance sheet also.
4. And you are wrong….In Africa…the Ahmadiyya jamaat got money from the Govt. as they built schools and etc back in the 40's and 50's…do some research.
5. And finally, Muslims give money all the time, however, its local money that stays local, however, in some unique cases we can hold money to send overseas…however, it is rare. I live in the SF-Bay Area…I am against any of my money getting sent overseas.
Liar. Not surprising at all. Ahmadis are spending their whealth whole heartedly in the course of Allah. Their reward is with Allah not you. Their money is not spend to create disorder in the land nor on extreamism.
But you dont even know where your money goes. Have you ever seen a balance sheet?
See….you Ahmadis are taught to call people liars without even understanding what they are saying. You prove all of my points with your stupidity.
And your money is creating disorder in Pakistan and British-India.
I know Ahmadiyya better then all Ahmadis. That's for sure. Stop being mad!!!
I am not sure about your knowledge. If you had correct information,you would not comment like this. My humble advice is please meet an Ahmadi and then decide.
I am an ex-Ahmadi, currently a Sunni-Muslim and a scholar on Ahmadiyya.
See….your mullahs have brainwashed you to assume.


The Core Curriculum explores the liberal arts and sciences from a Christian perspective. In core courses students and faculty seek to understand and wisely engage creation and the social order. We investigate diverse aspects of the complexity, coherence and beauty of creation. We interact with historic and contemporary cultures, accepting the longstanding Christian call to seek after truth and beauty, to think critically and constructively, to exercise moral discernment, and to develop habits of just and compassionate action. The curriculum encourages the development of a Christian character that manifests itself in informed and redemptive responses to the world and the needs of the global community.
Common courses are required of all students. They explore topics and cultivate skills that are valuable in the development of a Christian perspective on life and learning. Furthermore, these courses ensure that all students, regardless of their majors, will enjoy some common educational experience. Common courses include courses in biblical studies, science, history, languages, philosophy, and physical education.
Language study develops an appreciation for diversity of God's creation as revealed through gift of language. Attains intermediate level of communication in second language as key to engage global cultures and to facilitate development of Christian character and responsibility when interacting cross-culturally.
Introduces fitness, recreation and outdoor activities which contribute to lifetime health and fitness.
One of the following taken in first year.
Two courses from the following should be completed prior to junior year. One transcripted varsity sport may fulfill an activity course requirement; second sport or additional seasons cannot be used. Use of club sports participation requires preapproval by the director of physical education. Armed Forces basic training or R.O.T.C. training may also fulfill one activity with documentation.
Upper-level core courses are categorized by themes that underscore different dimensions of what it means to understand and wisely engage creation and the social order and thus promote not only knowledge but also responsibility. Thematic courses draw upon established disciplines but also explore the relevance of these disciplines for the life of Christian faithfulness and integrity. By completing at least one course in each of the five themes, students become acquainted with a diverse range of content and some of the varied scholarly methods for pursuing knowledge.
At least one thematic requirement must be satisfied with an approved literature course. (See Literature Requirement course descriptions.) Courses provide significant practice in at least one of the following: writing, speech or quantitative reasoning. Besides being listed below, thematic courses, which are subject to change, are also identified in departmental course descriptions. Please note that while some courses are available in two themes, they will fulfill only one or the other theme, not both.
Natural World - Purpose: To deepen student appreciation for constructs and methods of science, explore scientific insights about the natural world, and reflect on responsibilities such knowledge requires of individuals and society.
Aesthetic Sensibilities and Practices - Purpose: To enhance understanding, practice and critique of creative expression through study of relationships between meaning, style, experience, and emotional and rational responses.
Civic Responsibility - Purpose: To explore within Christian framework our individual and communal citizen responsibilities to do justice and love mercy in local communities, on national level and in the wider world.
Global Understanding - Purpose: To promote responsible living in modern world, enhance understanding of cultural differences, communicate across cultural boundaries, and work for peace and justice among people and nations.


William (Bill) L. Daly was named the National Hockey League's first-ever Deputy Commissioner by Commissioner Gary B. Bettman on July 22, 2005 — an appointment that was unanimously endorsed by the NHL's Board of Governors. Daly's appointment came after serving for more than eight years as the League's Chief Legal Officer, during which time he played a major role in helping to shape the National Hockey League's identity on the global sports landscape.
In his current role, Mr. Daly is the chief consultant to Commissioner Bettman on virtually every issue impacting the League's operation and business. Principal among Mr. Daly's duties is his lead role in negotiating and administering the League's collective bargaining agreements with the NHL Players' Association and with the NHL Officials' Association.
In 2004-05, he was a central figure in the League's collective bargaining negotiations with the Players' Association, which resulted in a new Agreement that effectuated a revolutionary change to the League's economic operating system. That Agreement, which many view as one of the most forward-thinking in all of professional sports, laid a strong foundation for the successful re-launch of the NHL's business in 2005-06.
In addition to his continued oversight of the NHL's legal departments, Mr. Daly is also responsible for many areas of the League's business, including its broadcast and new media initiatives, special events and NHL International. Soon after the Collective Bargaining Agreement was concluded in the summer of 2005, he was the chief negotiator of the NHL's national cable television agreement with Versus (formerly OLN). Following that, he oversaw the NHL's negotiation of a new international television distribution arrangement with the North American Sports Network (now known as ESPN America). Most recently, Mr. Daly played a leading role in negotiating multi-year extensions to the League's existing national broadcast relationships in Canada with each of CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), TSN (The Sports Network) and RDS, and on broadcast TV in the United States with NBC.


How careful we should be, that our words and actions are all in harmony with the sacred truth that God has committed to us! The people of the world are looking to us, to see what our faith is doing for our characters and lives. They are watching to see if it is having a sanctifying effect on our hearts, if we are becoming changed into the likeness of Christ. They are ready to discover every defect in our lives, every inconsistency in our actions. Let us give them no occasion to reproach our faith.
God would have us individually come into that position where He can bestow His love upon us. He has placed a high value upon man, and has redeemed us by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, and we are to see in our fellow-man the purchase of the blood of Christ. If we have this love one for another, we shall be growing in love for God and the truth.… Love is a plant of heavenly origin, and if we would have it flourish in our hearts, we must cultivate it daily. Mildness, gentleness, long suffering, not being easily provoked, bearing all things, enduring all things,—these are the fruits upon the precious tree of love.
When you are associated together, be guarded in your words. Let your conversation be of such a nature that you will have no need of repentance.… If the love of the truth is in your heart, you will talk of the truth. You will talk of the blessed hope that you have in Jesus. If you have love in your heart, you will seek to establish and build up your brother in the most holy faith. If a word is dropped that is detrimental to the character of your friend or brother, do not encourage this evil-speaking. It is the work of the enemy. Kindly remind the speaker that the Word of God forbids that kind of conversation. We are to empty the heart of everything that defiles the soul temple, that Christ may dwell within.… It is the unity in the church that enables it to exert a conscious influence upon unbelievers and worldlings.

MoveBuilder offers a 28' moving trailer for a seamless relocation. The trailer is perfect for those moving a well-established household. Measuring 28'L x 8'W x 9'H, that's large enough to hold a 4 bedroom home!
MoveBuilder gives you the flexibility to only pay for the space you use inside the trailer. If you need more room, it's always available—but if you can fit your belongings into less space, then you pay less for your relocation (subject to a 5 ft. minimum).
Each moving trailer comes with a secure privacy wall (your shipment is the only household goods shipment on the trailer), and a complimentary ramp to make loading easy.
The trailer requires a hard-packed gravel surface or pavement for parking. Be sure to obtain any parking permits or special permission for the moving equipment by checking with your local city offices and/or Homeowner's Association in each location. You'll need approximately 42' of space to park the trailer with enough room to use the loading ramp. And don't forget about low-hanging power lines or branches—a 14' overhead clearance is needed.

How useful is a Dual Sim phone?
How does Dual SIM work?
Which manufactures offer dual SIM smartphones are there?
Dual Sim, a feature which was available only in certain models and from certain manufacturers is now becoming a common feature for most new phones. Even Apple has joined the dual Sim club with the release of iPhone XS series.
Dual Sim phones are phones which have two compartments inside to accommodate both Sims. Such dual SIM phones allow two phone numbers to be used on the same phone. The main advantage is that you don't need to buy a separate phone to use a second number.
In private life, you may not need a Dual SIM phone, unless you want to strictly separate certain things.
If the professional life, in turn, would offer such a smartphone to unite work and home connection in a convenient device.
Contrary to the long-standing standard, a dual SIM mobile phone no longer has only one but two SIM cards, which also results in various advantages and disadvantages. For example, you can not use both SIM cards at the same time in most cases.
You have two phone numbers on a cell phone.
You can use two different Sims with different plans that are beneficial. For example, one Sim may offer very low cost for making calls, while the other Sim may have a cheaper data connection.
In general, the dual SIM function allows you to use calls, text messages, e-mails, appointments et cetera separately. Nevertheless, you only need a mobile phone, a charging cable and a contact database.
Tip: For travel abroad, the second slot is available to buy a local SIM card and to communicate at the usual local rate. Above all, you can save good money here if you are traveling in countries outside the EU where astronomical roaming charges apply. In addition, you can still be reached at your normal number.
Your phone could consume more energy.
Your Internet speed per SIM slot may be lower for Dual SIM.
Apps such as WhatsApp can only be installed once and only support one mobile number. You cannot have WhatsApp installed for both the numbers in dual Sim phone. You can only have one WhatsApp for one number at a time.
Most manufacturer now offers dual Sim. Samsung, Huawei and most Chinese manufacturers have been offering dual Sim models for some time now. With the release of iPhone XS series, Apple has also started offering dual Sims.
And even Apple has followed suit with the iPhone, although different than expected. The current models have indeed a dual SIM function, but only in conjunction with a fixed eSIM. This means for you that you can only retrofit with an additional Nano-SIM.
To set up your dual SIM phone and use the two cards, it's best to do the following.
# 1 Name SIM cards : If you do not want to work permanently with "SIM 1" and "SIM 2", just forgive names. In the settings, you can not only give your SIM cards a unique name, such as "private" and "profession", but also your own color.
# 2 Switch on SIM cards : Also in the settings you will find a slider to the right of each of the two SIM card displays. Is this gray, tip on it to activate the respective SIM card.
# 3 Set a SIM for traffic : Your Dual SIM phone will only allow mobile data through one of the two inserted maps. So you have to choose which SIM card you want to use.
# 4 Another SIM for Telephony / SMS : Although you can talk on both cards and send messages, but you do not want to be asked each time, which should be, just put it in the settings. It is recommended, for example, the card that is not already assigned the traffic.
If your dual SIM phone is an iPhone, you have to do something different. This is primarily due to the eSIM. What you need is at least iOS 12.1 and a mobile service provider that supports eSIM. From this must also come both tariffs.
# 1 Setting up eSIM: In order to use the dual SIM function, you must first activate the eSIM. This is done by QR code or app of your provider.
# 2 Forget your etiquette : Similar to Android devices, you can also set fixed names on the iPhone. Here, however, you name the tariffs, not the SIM cards.
# 3 Determine which tariff makes what : Select which of your tariffs will become the default line. Use is used for calls and messages with people who are not in your address book. You can assign one of your two telephone numbers to your contacts individually or remembers your iPhone, which contact to last contacted with which number.
Conclusion: Yes, there are disadvantages of having a dual SIM phone. But there are also some advantages. For example, you save yourself a second smartphone and also good money when you make calls abroad with a local SIM card. In addition, most of the popular manufacturers now offer dual SIM phones, so you do not even have to do without your favourite brand.

Ariel Garten Quote
"You have to, in some ways, trust in the human spirit and in human ingenuity."
- Ariel Garten
"Muse is the brain-sensing headband that allows you to track your cognitive and emotional activity. It boosts your attention and helps you become more aware of the emotions that you're having."
"I've always been fascinated with knowing the self. This fascination led me to submerge myself in art, study neuroscience, and later to become a psychotherapist."
"Under the deluge of minute-to-minute text conversations, emails, relentless exchange of media channels and passwords and apps and reminders and tweets and tags, we lose sight of what all this fuss is supposed to be about in the first place: ourselves."
"Much of the time, we're transfixed by all of the ways we can reflect ourselves into the world. And we can barely find the time to reflect deeply back in on our own selves."
"We've all had stress creep up on us without even noticing it until we lost it on someone who didn't deserve it, and then we realize that we probably should have checked in with ourselves a little earlier."
"The most important part of ourselves is the mind, and it has been rather inaccessible."
"Consumer technology and medical tools have been created to benefit our daily lives. Without self-regulation, though, the industry could be at risk of potentially halting years of innovation and stunting growth in this field."
"I started working with brain sensing tech in labs over a decade ago and was immediately fascinated by the potential to help people peer into the workings and behaviors of their own minds."
"Muse is going to be part of everyday life as an indispensable tool helping people overcome mental, physical and emotional barriers. It's going to allow us to free ourselves in ways we never thought possible."
"Obsession with conventional ideas of 'success' can be harmful enough, but compound that stress with relationships, family, financial woes and health concerns, and you find yourself in a constant state of fight or flight. This causes people to be more reactionary, which further perpetuates the cycle of stress."
"I want to help give people the ability to stop and take just a few minutes a day to regroup and refocus: to give them a chance to get perspective on the things that matter and the things that don't."
"I was always exploring relationships between art and science."
"I think we're all very curious about our own minds, but we just may not have the tools to channel that."


MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee's Harbor District could add a new football and bowling themed bar if approved by the city.
Our partners at the Milwaukee Business Journal report First and Bowl would open up in the 10,000-square-foot building located at 1132 S. Barclay St., formerly known as Bandos Recycling & Shredding.
The game is very simple and is hybrid of football and bowling. To play, the two teams line up 48-feet away from one another and attempt to knock down all ten of their opponent's pins with a football. Teams can be anywhere from 1 to 5 players.
According to co-owner Bryan MacKenzie, the bar and entertainment center could be open by October or November. MacKenzie is partnered up with Craig Galarneau, Tim Johnson and Graham Nelson. These four said they got the idea from observing it in other cities like Detroit and New York.
"It's kind of challenging, but it's an interesting and fun game, so we're hoping the great people of Milwaukee enjoy it," MacKenzie said.

Bringing together the clean simplicity brought by Yosemite and the delightful details of macOS versions past, these icons are a testament to the styles of new and old.
Designed over a hundred hours of work in total, each icon has been meticulously created to look gorgeous on both Retina and non-Retina displays.
The set also includes a suite of folder icons, complete with beautifully-crafted glyphs for each folder type, and alternate graphite and vibrant variants.
Every icon was designed in a 16-block grid ensuring that when scaled to macOS' icon sizes at multiples of 8, every element looks crisp and pixel-perfect.
Choose between the alternate versions of icons within the set, for example, the Preview replacement icon comes with both day and night styled options.
For only $5, the Sketch source files for all the icons can be downloaded alongside the free set, so customizations can be applied for your own personal suite.
Every icon in the set has been designed to match the modern minimalist interface, therefore using just one or two of the icons will still match the default look.
