Set to be a great game - Tomkins on Saints
August 30, 2018, 09:58AM Follow @WiganWarriorsRL
Sam Tomkins previews his final derby trip to St Helens
Discusses his favourite derby wins in recent years
Praises the recovery of winger Dom Manfredi
Wigan full back Sam Tomkins says his final derby trip to St Helens is "all set to be a great game" ahead of Friday's Betfred Super League Super 8s round 3 match.
Despite playing Saints on almost countless occasions, Tomkins made it clear that this is still the biggest game in the league calendar. He said, "anytime we come up against St Helens it's a huge occasion, one that us players look for first when the fixtures come out."
"It's exciting, not sure how many I've played over the years but it's a hell of a lot and I've enjoyed every one. It'll be a very special one this week knowing it'll be my very last one at Saints and there's nowhere better to win than at St Helens."
The full back also discussed the rivalry and what it means to players who have grown up in the area. He said, It's always meant a great deal to me. I've grown up in Wigan from being 8 years-old and I know the healthy hatred between the two clubs."
"Although you get two points for a win, it means and awful lot more than that. We want to beat them every single time, doesn't matter if we play them once or 10 times a season. We will not be worried about league position or that they beat us twice, we will want to go to Langtree Park and put a 10 out of 10 performance on them."
In a nostalgic mood, discussion turned to the best derby memories the full back has. "Obviously the 2010 Grand Final. Beating them there was very, very special."
"In terms of the league, probably 2011 when Liam Farrell scored right at the end to win it. That's probably my favourite one."
"Last one at Knowsley Road and the first one at Langtree Park, they were ones for the fans. We've got bragging rights for ever. They were huge games to be a part of and certainly ones I will look back on when I retire."
There was also time to discuss the progress of Warriors winger Dom Manfredi who is back in training and is close to a first team return after two years on the side lines with injury.
"When Dom got injured he was first on the list for the England team that year. He was the best winger in the competition by a mile."
"He's had a long time out and as tough as an injury as I've ever seen."
"I've had injuries being out for six or seven months. We're wired up to play rugby league and that's what we want to do, get better and get fitter. So, to have all of that taken away from you for six or seven months is hard mentally. But Dom has had it for two years now. I don't think I'd have handled it as well as he has."
*Wigan take on St Helens in the third round of the Betfred Super League Super 8s at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Friday 31st August. Kick off, 7:45pm.

Central Park Conservancy and Parks Department Propose Renovation of Community Facilities at Harlem Meer in Central Park

The Central Park Conservancy and The Parks Department have unveiled plans to revamp Lasker Skating Rink and Swimming Pool located in the Harlem Meer section of Central Park. Designed by Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture Design and the Central Park Conservancy, the project arrives as one of the final components of a $150 million renewal plan for the park's northern tip.
The Harlem Meer is a man-made lake surrounded by a dense treeline at the northeastern boundary of Central Park. Located between 106th and 108th Streets, the Lasker Skating Rink and seasonal Swimming Pool were completed in 1966 and sit adjacent to the Harlem Meer.
Plans to update the skating rink and pool were originally announced in 2015. Beginning in September of this year, Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture Design and the Central Park Conservancy have presented the project at community board meetings in neighborhoods that surround the park.

Scope of renovation includes replacement and expansion of existing facilities, repairs to the surrounding landscape with a focus on vegetation and hydrology, new pedestrian pathways, and improvements to overall circulation and accessibility of the space. New surrounding areas include a splash pad, a pergola at the nearby shore of the lake, a boardwalk, bike parking, and a pedestrian overlook. At the deck level, the design team has proposed lifeguard locker rooms, staff offices, family changing rooms, and an ice resurfacer.

Another major goal of the project includes improvements to visual sightlines in areas surrounding the seasonal rink and pool. Proposal documents from the design team, the conservancy, and the Parks Department assert that the facility obstructs "one of the most stunning views in the Park." The structures also act as a physical barrier blocking the flow of water from The Loch to the Harlem Meer.
Construction on the project has not begun as city agencies and local community boards work to arrive at an agreement over the final scope of renovation.

This plan will significantly reduce the size of the swimming pool/rink. In the summer the pool is always crowded and after this is completed will be even more crowded. In the winter the space is occupied by two ice rinks that provide public skating and space for dozens of youth and adult hockey teams that practice and play games. This plan will reduce it to just one rink, dealing a death blow to much of the skating and hockey activity at Lasker. Did the planners bother to consult with the people who run the pool/rink and the people who use it? Is this what we are going to get after three years of closure?

Home Apple Big Tech Children Cybersecurity News Safety Technology Apple Shares a Preview of New Child Safety Features for Upcoming Software Updates
Later this year, Apple plans to release new software updates, and the company just announced a preview of new child safety features that will be part of the updates.
The preview includes a Communication Safety feature, Photo Scanning for Child Sexual Abuse Material, and an Expanded Child Sexual Abuse Material Guidance in Siri and Search.
With the new Communication Safety feature, children and parents will be warned at the time of receiving or sending sexually explicit photos. Such photos will be identified through on-device machine learning, which will also blur the images. For instance, if a child receives a sexually explicit photo in the Messages app, an alert will notify them that the photo may contain private body parts and may be hurtful. This feature will be part of iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey for accounts set up as families in iCloud, according to Apple.
The Photo Scanning for Child Sexual Abuse Material is Apple's new technology that is designed to detect Child Sexual Abuse Material images stored in iCloud photos. The technology will help report these images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that works in partnership with US law enforcement agencies. Apple said that it will further use the hashing technology, NeuralHash, to convert the detected images to unique numbers specific to the images, so as to protect the privacy of users.
Finally, Apple will expand the Child Sexual Abuse Material Guidance to Siri and Spotlight Search in the form of additional helpful resources for the safety of children. For instance, if a user asks Siri how to report child exploitation, Siri will provide resources for where and how to file a report. This feature will be part of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey, as confirmed by Apple.
Apple's new Child Safety features will be rolled out to users in the US initially and will eventually be available in other countries.

I definitely struggle with my weight. I have gained almost 90 pounds since high school and weigh as much now as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my son. Those numbers horrify me and I'm humiliated to type them, but it's real. Some people drink, some people smoke, I eat. Something has to change! I have to change!
ULTIMATE GOAL: Loose 80 pounds.
GOAL: Walk in the YMCA's Rhubarb Run 5K in June.
Obviously, the ultimate goal is a pretty lofty goal. I'm not 100% sure how to obtain that, but that's the purpose of this blog. Figuring it out, right? The weight didn't come on over night, so I know I won't loose it over night either. This is a commitment to a change in lifestyle.
Starting in April, I would like to use this page to track my personal weight loss, healthy eating ideas for the family, recipes, etc. I will also be turning to scripture to help in this endeavor. If you have any key verses, you'd like to share to inspire, please SHARE! Putting this information out there for all to see, will hopefully keep me accountable.

Bajaj Auto Margin Slips In Q3, Profit Meets Estimate
Bajaj Auto Ltd saw its prized profit margin slip in the quarter to December, sending its shares down despite hitting estimates with a 3 per cent rise in quarterly earnings, as rising costs and a fall in exports crimped earnings.
Bajaj, India's second largest motorcycle manufacturer by sales volume, saw its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margin - trumpeted as the best in the industry - fall to 20.1 per cent from 21 per cent in the same quarter a year ago, as lucrative export sales slipped 2 per cent.
Shares in the automaker, also the world's largest manufacturer of motorised three-wheeled vehicles, fell as much as 2.7 per cent after the results were released.
"In other international markets (excluding Africa), demand remained subdued," Bajaj said in a statement.
In India, where Bajaj sells around 70 per cent of its motorbikes, demand has slumped due to high interest rates and rising ownership costs.
The country's automotive industry association this month cut its motorcycle sales growth forecast for the financial year that ends in March to 3-5 per cent, from 5-7 per cent earlier.
Net profit for the Oct-Dec quarter rose 3 per cent to Rs 819 crore, in line with analysts' estimates, as net sales rose 10 per cent to Rs 531 crore.

Q: RemoteApp session opens in a separate window instead of inside a WPF UserControl I am writing a WPF UserControl that hosts a RemoteApp session using the AxMSTSCLib library. I'm using the information from this SO question. The code I wrote is very close to the answer of that question.
I placed the RemoteApp ActiveX (axMsRdpClient9NotSafeForScripting1) inside my WPF UserControl, and provide the necessary parameters when connecting.
But the problem is that the WPF Window that contains the UserControl opens but is blank. The RemoteApp actually launches but in a separate window, outside the main WPF Window. How can I ensure the remote app opens inside the WPF UserControl? What am I missing?

Edible Shade event to celebrate local food with mesquite pancakes
Published Mar 25, 2017 6:00am
By Ava Garcia
Pancakes being served at the Edible Shade event. The event will offer mesquite pancakes, non-gluten pancakes and vegan pancakes.
The Watershed Management Group will be hosting its third annual Edible Shade Mesquite Pancake Breakfast to celebrate eating locally and nature education this Sunday, March 26.
The event will feature a "pancake factory" serving mesquite flour pancake variations, as well as other vendors, an artisan market, live music and educational opportunities for attendees, according to Sarah Brown, a community education coordinator with the Watershed Management Group.
The pancakes are made with mesquite flour, and the event also offers vegan pancakes and non-gluten pancakes. The theme of desert foods continues with prickly pear and pomegranate syrup. Local coffee company Exo Roast Co. will be serving coffee at the event, and juice and tea will also be available.

"The main message we want to get across is eating locally and seasonally, and so that's why a lot of the things that we're selling here are desert foods," Brown said. "We want people to get excited about eating from their region."
The yearly event typically takes place in the fall during mesquite pod harvesting, but this is the first year the event will be held in the spring, according to Brown.
"It's just a really fun community event, kind of a grassroots style event," Brown said.
Education also plays a role in shaping the event. Community partners, including Tucson Water, Tucson Electric Power, Edible Baja Arizona and the Sonoran Institute, will be present at the event, and some will be involved in educational opportunities for attendees.
TEP will host a tree distribution, where they will be giving out shade trees to the first 100 people to bring in a TEP bill.
The event will also feature porch talks, with a talk from a Watershed Management Group staff member about the river and network initiative, another talk from a naturalist and then another presentation about the Sonoran supermarket.

Brown said she thinks it is important to be connected to local environments.
"We are big proponents of creating sustainable livelihoods for people in this urban setting, so that involves being aware of what is our impact as humans on the environment and also as consumers, and so we can have a big positive impact in how we affect our environment by the choices we make and the food that we're purchasing, as well as how we are stewards of our environment," Brown said.
She said public response to the events in the past has been "overwhelming." The event will be capped at around 500 people this year, and attendance has usually been around that number for past events.
"It's a Tucson tradition, it's something that people really love, so we're excited to host it for the third time," she said.
The Edible Shade Mesquite Pancake Breakfast will be held this Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Watershed Management Group's Living Lab and Learning Center, located at 1137 N. Dodge Blvd. Attendees will receive three pancakes and a drink for $7, with different pancake options available. Tickets are not available at the door; they are sold in advance, due to the 500-ticket cap. For more information and to pre-pay for pancakes, visit https://watershedmg.org/edibleshade.

The Islamic Revolution of 1920 in Iraq
Zuhayr Sulayman
by Zuhayr Sulayman
(The Arabic original "Thawrat al-din fi al-`Iraq `am 1920" appeared in al-Tawhid (Arabic), No. 20, pp. 46-53, 1406 H./1986 (4th year). The author is an Iraqi scholar.)
The great Islamic revolution of 1920 led by the `Ulama' in Iraq became known as the `Revolution of 1920' as it took place on the 30th of June 1920, and as most of those who wrote of it dated their articles and the events of the revolution according to the Christian calendar.
That was the revolution which taught Great Britain, the arrogant superpower of the time, a lesson which made it waver in its decision to stay in Iraq and continue its invasion. However, circumstances which paved the way for the invading forces, the revolution's encountering various difficulties, and the success of the English in winning over certain personalities ‑ all these factors encouraged them to continue attacking the revolutionaries, make further advances, and remain in Iraq.
These factors must be reviewed in order to show the firmness and the true nature of the great revolution, and to show how the `Ulama' were its vanguard and its leaders, fulfilling their mission to make the people serve Allah, the Exalted, and serve the Islamic Shari'ah. They were working to safeguard the political, social, and economic framework of the country.
The legal ruling (fatwa) of Shaykh Mahdi al-Khalisi, may Allah have mercy on him, regarding the necessity of jihadagainst the English when they entered Basra in 1904 was only one of the courageous stands taken by the freedom fighting `Ulama'. There were many similar legal rulings (fatawa), such as the one in Iran forbidding the use of tobacco when Nasir al‑Din Shah, the Qajar ruler, granted the tobacco concession to the English. Ayatullah Shaykh Muhammad Hasan al‑Shirazi issued his famous fatwa which foiled the conspiracy and annulled the agreement.
We cannot, at the moment, carry out a detailed discussion on the revolution which humiliated the invading British forces, while being extremely difficult circumstances itself, particularly as regards suffices forces, supplies and weapons. The present discussion will be direct towards the following issues:
1. The roots and the beginning of the revolution.
2. Glimpses of the course of the revolution.
a. Its factors.
b. The events that occurred in it.
c. Its military outcome.
3. Its effects and results.
The Roots and the Beginning of the Revolution
An intelligent scholar will investigate the facts to such an extent that as if he were reliving the event or were close to it. A discussion of the revolution of 1920 will trace the great history sketched by the heroes of Islam in a spirit of defiance, sincere sentiment, and with the highest motives of religious responsibility.
When I write about a revolution led by sincere and pious religious leaders, it is not because I have lived through and taken part in it or been a contemporary of it, buy because I have lived it through certain personalities of the revolution who actively participated in. its advancement, and also through then books and the writings and‑letters of its leader and generator, al‑Shaykh al‑Mirza Muhammad Taqi al‑Shirazi, may Allah be pleased with him.
Before embarking on the discussion, it must be mentioned that all the revolutions which have taken place in Islamic lands have been religion, in nature, and carried out by those opposing oppression, tyranny, and despotism.
The roots of the great revolution can be traced back to an earlier period of Iraqi history. The land of the Euphrates and Tigris, which was known as the fertile land (al‑sawad), was coveted by the arrogant Western powers, particularly in the period when the Ottoman caliphate was beginning to decline, though the idea of it preceded the beginning of the 20th century.
That is indicated by the fact that Britain and the West, which claimed to be civilized and advanced, invaded all parts of the peaceful world seeking their treasures and plundering the resources which Allah had bestowed on them.
It began with the formation of the East India Company at the beginning of the 18th century, until Britain occupied India in 1818. It occupied what it termed the `protectorates' and `emirates' of Kuwait, Bahrain, Aden and Oman in the last quarter of the 19th century. It also invaded Africa, Australia, East Asia, Canada, America, etc. Other arrogant states such as France, Germany, Italy and Holland also invaded various countries. For example, France occupied Tunisia in 1881, and Morocco in 1911, and had previously occupied Algeria.
Iraq was one of the countries which fell into the net of Britain as it was strategically important, had excellent natural resources, and was a centre from which the neighbouring countries could be contained and safeguarded, particularly after the resistance launched by the freedom fighting 'Ulama' in 1914, when Britain came to seize Iraq from the Ottoman Empire.
The perceptive `Ulama' knew very well that the power of the people was stronger than the power of the tyrants. This glories idea was expressed by the leader and the pioneer of the contemporary Islamic movement in Iraq, the Martyr Ayatullah al‑`Uzma al‑Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, may Allah be pleased with him, in his statement: "The masses are stronger than the oppressors, however tyrannous the oppressors may be."
The religious scholars kept a watchful eye on Islamic interests not only in the countries in which they lived but in all Islamic lands. Their fatawa formed an impenetrable barrier which prevented the tyrants and oppressors from achieving their aims. An example of this is the ruling of al-Shirazi from Samarra', Iraq, against the Qajar king of Iran, forbidding the use of tobacco after the Shah had granted the monopoly for it to a British company.
He warned the Shah about it and asked him to cancel the agreement. There was also the fatwa of al‑Sayyid Muhammad Kazim al‑Tabatabai, who was the religious authority of his time. He ruled on fighting against the unbelievers invading North Africa and declared:
Today the European states have attacked the Islamic countries from every corner. Italy has attacked Tripoli in North Africa, Russian troops have occupied northern Iran, and English troops have entered southern Iran. This will inevitably result in the disappearance of Islam.
Therefore all Muslims, Arab and non‑Arab, must prepare themselves to repel unbelief (kufr) from the two Islamic countries. They must not hold themselves back or spare any expense to bring about the means to expel Italian troops from Tripoli, and Russian and English troops from northern and southern Iran. This is one of the most important Islamic duties, in order that the Ottoman and Iranian empires remain protected and safe from Christian attacks, with Allah's help.
5 Dhu 'l‑Hijjah
Muhammad Kazim al‑Tabataba'i.
Although the Muslims and their `Ulama' in Iraq suffered excesses and oppression under Ottomans, they did not consider them unbelievers, as they did the powers of arrogance who came to invade and rule the country. They often stood by the Ottoman troops and' helped them against the West.
When invading British forces landed on Iraqi soil on 6 November 1914 and occupied the Fao fortress, the 'Ulama' in Karbala' and al Najaf al‑'Ashraf were enraged and began a serious study of the matter, so that they could take an appropriate stand and help the Ottoman troops ‑ despite the many oppressive and iniquitous acts committed by the latter ‑ since they themselves had no military forces.
They sent letters to the tribal chiefs and leaders of various regions, urging them to fight the English. The English spy, Miss Gertrude Bell, relates: "The Shi'ah religious scholars in Karbala' and Najaf urged the Shaykh of Muhammarah to take part in fighting against us, for he had excused himself by saying that he was one of the subjects of the Iranian government and had to remain neutral."
The invading forces entered Basrah on 22 November 1914, after the Turkish army withdrew along with the Iraqi tribes and Muslims who had joined the fighting on the instructions of the 'Ulama'. Miss Bell continues: "The son of al‑Sayyid Muhammad Kaim al‑Yazdi, the grand mujtahid in Najaf, went to al‑`Imarah in January to urge the people to the jihad, and the call was passed on through the Bedouins to Ahwaz, Huwayzah and the region of Muhammarah ....".
The fatawa of the 'Ulama' played a great part in arousing the people to take part in scattered battles which broke out on 12 April 1915. At a time when the Turkish forces were extremely weak in confronting the British, the Muslims in southern and central Iraq greatly impeded the enemy's advance, so that more than seven months elapsed from the time the British troops landed in Fao until their occupation of al`Imarah on 23 June 1915. Throughout the two and a half years until Baghdad was occupied on 19 March 1917, the `Ulama' encouraged the Ummah to fight the invading unbelievers. This situation continued despite the hardships and the lack of real power in confronting the invading armies, and it did not abate until the great Islamic revolution, finally announced on 13 Shawwal 1338 (30 June 1920), which was preceded by uprisings lasting several months.
Glimpses of the Course of the Revolution
A. Factors of the Revolution
In spite of the political, economic and social conditions prevalent in the Ummah in Iraq during the oppressive and sectarian Ottoman rule ‑which was only interested in collecting taxes and duties ‑ the government was at least outwardly described as being Islamic. The `Ulama' in all Iraqi cities, particularly Najaf and Karbala', wrote letters and advised the governors appointed by the Ottoman sultan, but to no avail.
However, the British invasion of Iraq and Islamic lands inflamed the people, and the dedicated `Ulama', despite their meagre resources, urged the Ummah on to jihad. Thus, the causes and factors of this massive revolution can be summed up in the following points:
• The direct rule by the British, which was against the laws of the Shari'ah which prohibited the government of unbelievers over Muslims. Allah, the Exalted, has said:
And God will not grant the unbelievers any way over the believers. (4:141).
Naturally, after the British gained control of the country, they broke their promise that they would not remain in Iraq, that they would leave after peace was established, and that they had come to help the Iraqi people to achieve self‑rule in an appropriate manner. These were nothing but lies and empty promises.
The `Ulama' and senior religious authorities observed the scene with caution, particularly after the referendum carried out by the British about the issue of accepting British administration in June 1919. After the hopes of the masses about British promises were dashed, the `Ulama' rose and demanded that the British leave the country and called for the establishment of an Islamic state in Iraq. They also stressed to the masses the unlawfulness of obeying a non-Muslim ruler, and that kindled the enthusiasm of the Ummah even further. This was one of the fundamental factors of the revolution, as Islam does not permit rule by a non‑Muslim under any circumstances.
Some hold the view that one of the factors which led to the outbreak of the blessed revolution was that the clash between the two countries was followed by a vacuum which could be exploited. However the actual facts indicate that when the Turks were defeated and retreated, British forces took their place in order not to allow any further intervention into the situation. The chief cause of the revolution was the control of Iraq by the British. The Muslims could not remain silent in the face of such a situation or ignore it.
• The link between the religious leadership and the Muslims which helped in mobilizing a large number of people, attracted by the fatawa of the `Ulama' in the forefront. The fatwa from the leading religious authority of the time, Mirza Mubammad Taqi al‑Shirazi, may Allah be pleased with him, regarding the necessity of jihad aroused every Muslim. Streams of men left their wives, children, and all their properties, and set off to fight the invading unbelievers. The brave religious scholars in the vanguard led the advance of the army and stirred up their enthusiasm. Revolutionary fervour mounted and revolutionary songs, called `al‑hawsat' in Iraq, rang out.
• There were other factors of a secondary nature, which were not important and effective in themselves. Among these was the bad economic situation, the many taxes imposed by the Turks, their ill treatment of people, and the spread of sectarianism. Though some researchers regard these as fundamental factors, in our view they were not, as the great revolution flared up after the British came and occupied Iraq. However, we must not forget the effect of these earlier factors on the Iraqi people.
• Another factor was the arrogant behaviour of the British in an attempt to denigrate the Ummah, particularly during the period which followed the occupation of Baghdad, and until the outbreak of the revolution.
B. The Events of the Revolution
The Iraqis did not possess any weapons, save determination, enthusiasm, and the zeal to launch a brave attack on the British forces with such weapons and equipment as they captured after vanquishing them. The leader of the revolution was determined to expel the British from Iraq without delay, after having sent them many letters and memos urging them ‑to leave the country. This peaceful method of struggle had continued from the time of the occupation until the revolution was proclaimed. This was because the religious leaders, because of their commitment to Islam, did not want war and bloodshed, but rather hoped to
`repel with that which is fairer'. (41:34).
However, when they found no way out of it, they resorted to war and revolution.
About a month before the revolution, Mirza Shhazi, may Allah be pleased with him, made a general proclamation to all the Iraqis calling them to carry out peaceful demonstrations. He said in this proclamation:
The Iraqis are going towards Baghdad to demand their rights, and it is necessary for you and for all the Muslims to join their brothers on this noble principle. Beware of disturbing the peace and disagreeing and quarrelling amongst yourselves. I advise you to protect the lives, possessions and honour of all religious communities and sects in your country, and never to harm any one of them.
Mirza Shirazi issued his command to proclaim the revolution after many meetings and after numerous delegations from Najaf, Kazimayn and the other cities, and after all the requirements with regard to general peace and order were completed and were under the control of the leader, and the personalities who met him had promised that the tribes and volunteer forces would fight against the British.
The first shot of the revolution was fired in the city of al‑Rumaythah after the arrest of Shaykh Sha'lan Abu al‑Chum. The Shaykh knew of it since he had agreed on a password with his paternal cousin Ghathith alHarchan. After he was arrested by the British officer, Shaykh Sha'lan informed his associates that he was in need of "10 lira" before the arrival of the train the following day. This meant that he needed ten men to attack the station before the arrival of the train on which they may take him. In the early morning ten strong men made an attack.
They were: Hmaydan Hajj Gati`, Jilhit Ha Gati, Hmud al‑Radi, `Abd al‑`Dharah, Khdayyir al‑`Abbud, Najm al‑`Idan, Abu `Uyun al‑Harchan, `Ajil al‑Radi, Gassad al‑Mukhrid and Dkhayyil al‑`Abbud. They freed Shaykh Sha`lan on the morning of 30 June, and that was when the revolution began. The rail tracks were cut, and the military garrison at al‑Rumaythah was besieged on 4 July 1920. Various `Ulama' issued fatawa about jihad.
The revolution flared in Shamiyyah, Kufah and Hillah, and spread into central and southern Iraq. When Kufah was besieged, Captain Mann was killed. The uprising also took place in al-Najaf al‑'Ashraf. However Lt. Col. Leachman arrested certain members of the uprising and had them executed. He himself was killed by Shaykh Dari before the flames of the revolution had died out.
A bloody battle took place in the region of al Rarinjiyyah on 23 July after the freedom fighters entered the city of Kifl, south of Hillah, on the previous day. The revolutionaries plunged into battle and were victorious over the British armies that came to occupy Kifl on 23 July. There were estimated to have been about eight to nine hundred enemy troops, though it has been said that it was actually three times this number (i.e. 2700 troops).
According to the enemy statistics, there were 20 dead, 60 wounded and 318 missing, along with heavy loss of equipment and animals. In another report it is estimated that there were 200 dead. But according to the revolutionary sources the enemy losses were estimated to be 800 dead and wounded.
Battles also took place in the region of the Saddat al‑Hindiyyah which the British were protecting in the city of Twayrij. The revolutionaries set fire to a wooden bridge there which linked the main road to the city, and tried to cut it off completely from the 53rd brigade which intended to turn towards the city of Karbala'. The heroism of the revolutionaries was magnificent. The weapons of the revolution were faith, the famous `mugwar' ‑ a piece of wood a metre or more in length, which had a round ball of tar at one end ‑ and whatever the revolutionaries could capture from their enemies.
The revolution succeeded at first and liberated many large and small cities and the areas surrounding them. It liberated the holy city of Karbala', `the capital of the revolution,', and also Diwaniyyah, Musayyab, the Saddat al‑Hindiyyah, and Twayrij. When the revolution expanded, it included Ramadi, Nkiriyyah, Khidr, Samawah, Diyala and Miqdadiyyah and also Arbil and Samarra', and other towns. It continued despite all hardships, and recorded a memorable union between all Muslims of the Ahl al‑Sunnah and the Shi'ah.
C. The End of the Military Revolution
By 11th October, many regions had been liberated and governors and district chiefs had been appointed in them. Among these was the city of Twayrij, where the chief had been appointed by the revolutionaries. However, certain badly regulated measures enabled the British to occupy the city and head towards Karbala' where some people surrendered and the city fell. This pattern was followed in other cities, though the revolution was still ablaze despite certain regions falling into British hands.
In the Battle of al‑Suwayr; one of the most important battles in the region of Al Hchaym, the British lost 1200 men. However, various circumstances led to the end of the revolution on 20 November, after 170 days of bitter and bloody fighting, when the British had thousands of dead and wounded, and hundreds of prisoners of war, and lost much weapons and materials. It was, in truth, a profound lesson for the arrogant occupiers. It opened their eyes to the Muslims, particularly the leaders and `Ulama' in al Najaf al‑'Ashraf and Karbala'. From that date on, the arrogant powers began to keep a close watch and wait for an opportunity to tear down the centre of religious learning in al‑Najaf al'-Ashraf and take revenge on the Muslims, particularly the `Ulama'.
The Effects and Results of the Revolution
There is no doubt, that the British were helped by the fact that their adversary had no comparable weapons, forces, or fighting equipment. The weapons of the revolutionaries were simple and in fact non‑existent; some of them were untrained and inexperienced, and there was also a lack of real cooperation between certain sections which claimed to be patriotic and called for freedom along with the revolutionaries.
There were also the existence of groups of certain religious minorities which formed a fifth column, a lack of money among the revolutionaries, and other such handicaps. All these factors were instrumental in the discontinuance and abortion of the revolution, and helped the occupiers to overpower it. However, in spite of that, we see that there were many positive achievements made by the glorious religious revolution. Among them were the following:
• The creation of a revolutionary spirit among the Ummah, and its experience of the revolution and the uprisings following it which trained it in rebellion, disobedience and non‑surrender to foreigners and unbelievers, and created in it the desire for just Islamic rule.
• A declaration of the effectiveness of religion and its hold on the Ummah, and of how the element of faith could mobilize the Ummah to struggle against oppression, humiliation and subjugation.
• It taught the British a painful lesson, which they remember to this day, despite all the poison which they had directed against the Iraqi Muslims and their sincere 'Ulama.
• It helped to create the indirect rule by the British, by using Faisal I, the son of Sharif Husayn, to rule Iraq under the pretext of Arab‑Islamic rule with the Islamic Shari'ah as one of the bases and sources of Iraqi law, so that the government issuing these laws was constituted by responsible Muslims from Iraq itself.
Some of the leaders and `Ulama' were exiled to Oman, the Island of Saranjam and India, and the confrontations stopped completely. Nothing remained except a secret hatred in the hearts of the British against the Muslims and religious scholars of Iraq, particularly those based in the city of Najaf and the Islamic centre of learning there.
It made the British and their surrogate rulers ‑ from the time of the first government formed with the efforts of Miss Bell ‑ wary of passing any laws which were in clear opposition to the Shari'ah, and fearful of the reactions from Najaf and other cities with any considerable number of `Ulama' and religious seminaries

T206 Honus Wagner baseball card
Honus Wagner, also known as "The Flying Dutchman" was a professional baseball player who played shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1897 to 1917. He is widely considered one of the greatest players of all time and was one of the first five players to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937. Off the field, Wagner was known for his humility and sportsmanship. He was respected by both teammates and opponents for his gentlemanly behavior and fair play.
One of Wagner's most notable achievements was his batting average of .327, which is still one of the highest in baseball history. He was also known for his exceptional fielding, and his ability to make difficult plays look effortless. He is still viewed as one of the best defensive shortstops of all time. Wagner was also an accomplished base runner, known for his speed and agility on the base paths. He led the National League in stolen bases five times and had 723 stolen bases in his career.
Wagner was born in Chartiers, Pennsylvania in 1874, and began his baseball career in the minor leagues before joining the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1897. He quickly established himself as one of the best players in the league, and during his 21-year career with the Pirates, he won eight National League batting titles, six stolen base titles, and three MVP awards.
One of the most interesting facts about Wagner is that he was the first baseball player to have his own baseball card. The T206 Honus Wagner baseball card is considered to be one of the most valuable and rarest cards in existence. Only around 200 of the T206 Honus Wagner cards were produced, making it one of the rarest baseball cards ever. The reasons for the rarity of the card are not entirely clear, but it is believed that Wagner himself may have requested that his card be pulled from production because he was not comfortable with the idea of children buying cigarettes to collect his card.
It is believed that Wagner himself may have requested that his card be pulled from production because he was not comfortable with the idea of children buying cigarettes to collect his card.
The card features Honus Wagner, a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and was produced as part of the T206 set by the American Tobacco Company in 1909. The T206 set is also known as the "monster set" because of its size, containing over 500 different cards featuring players from different teams. It is also considered as one of the most iconic and important baseball card sets of all time. Only around 200 of the T206 Honus Wagner cards were produced, making it one of the rarest baseball cards ever.
The T206 Honus Wagner card has a storied history, and has changed hands many times over the years. In 1991, the card was sold for $451,000, setting a record at the time. The price increased dramatically in 2000 when it was sold for $1.265 million, and again in 2007 when it sold for $2.8 million. In 2016, the T206 Honus Wagner card set another record when it sold for $3.12 million, making it one of the most expensive baseball cards ever sold.
In conclusion, Honus Wagner was a legendary baseball player who left an indelible mark on the sport. His exceptional skills on the field, his sportsmanship, and his humility make him a truly historic figure. To this day he is still remembered today as one of the greatest players of all time so it can be said without any doubt that T206 Honus Wagner card is not just a collectible item – it is a piece of baseball and American history.

Trump Orders Investigation Into George Floyd's Killing
BREAKING: Trump Orders Investigation Into George Floyd's Killing
United States President, Donald Trump, has ordered an investigation into the killing of a middle-aged black man, George Floyd, The PUNCH reports.
He described Floyd's death as "very sad and tragic" while commiserating with his family on the loss.
The POTUS, who ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Department of Justice to expedite the probe, vowed that justice would be served on the matter.
"At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation as to the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd.
"I have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all of the work done by local law enforcement. My heart goes out to George's family and friends. Justice will be served!" Trump tweeted.
The PUNCH reports that Floyd died shortly after four police officers assaulted him in Minneapolis, a city in Minnesota.
One of the officers was seen in a video kneeling on his neck while he was handcuffed.
"Your knee in my neck. I can't breathe… Mama. Mama," Floyd pleaded, slowly grew silent and motionless, unable to move even as the officers taunted him to "get up and get in the car".
He was taken to the hospital where he was later declared dead.
After dismissing the four officers involved, Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey, expressed outrage as calls rose for them to be prosecuted for murder.
"What I saw was wrong at every level," he said of the video.
"For five minutes, we watched as a white officer pressed his knee into the neck of a black man. Being black in America should not be a death sentence," Frey added.
The family of the late Floyd has called for the prosecution of the four officers, stressing that they should be charged with murder.
The death of the black man sparked street protests in the Midwestern US city.
Protesters, many wearing face masks because of the coronavirus outbreak, held signs saying "Justice for George Floyd" and "Black Lives Matter" during a rally near the scene of Monday's death in custody.
But beyond the US, blacks all over the world have been outraged by the inhumane treatment as they took to the Social Media to vent their angst over the killing of Floyd which many described as a shadow of racism.

We took a foodie tour of Chicago one afternoon which took us around for a few hours, getting to try local foods like deep dish pizza, local candies, etc. So the next day we took an architectural history pub walking tour, leading us to…more Bloody Marys that weren't on the planned "best of" list.
Bringing us to Brehon Pub. This Bloody ended up being the best of the trip, I think they put pickle juice in it, and had a nice spice level. It was smaller than most of the others, but given that it was a pub tour, that was probably a good thing!
Also on the pub tour was The Green Door, which was the coolest place we went to the entire trip. They had a speakeasy in the basement that was completely intact from the days of Prohibition, so cool. The tour guide arranged for us to see it, awesome. And the waitress was from Buffalo, we are everywhere.
I tried 2 from Twisted Spoke's menu of several (website currently down, so I can't view their list *sadface*). First was the Smoking Selma – chipotle, sausage, onion, pickled garlic, cherry pepper with a Genesee cream ale back. Ha. Genny Cream Ale. I had to ask the bar tender if people seriously drank Genny in the Midwest. Genny is a joke beer in NY, it's not even a hipster beer like PBR here, but it must be out there. When I ordered my 2nd Bloody, I told him to keep the Genny but he gave it to me anyway.
As my friend Cassie put it, that's not a drink that's a soup! I wish I was doing reviews at the time so I could say something more about it, but…next.
The Road Rash Mary. As the review states a "sandwich in a glass" containing salami, onions, green olives, peppercini, parmesan, a splash of Guinness to hold it all together and a beer back.
All and all a good and delicious trip, but honestly, I took a break from the Bloodys after that!
Moving right along with the vacation posts before getting back to Buffalo, Chicago in October 2013. This was the first vacation where I investigated bars to go to specifically for Bloody Marys. There were quite a few, so we ended up visiting the ones that were most convenient to where we were for other activities (mostly).
First up, The Rock Bottom Brewery. Not on the list of "Best Bloody Marys in Chicago" but we happened to go there, and they happened to have one on the menu so….
Next on the list, The Corner Bar. Again the best of list provides a review that doesn't match because they list a specific bartender, but I do remember this one as being quite good. It was the best of the bunch at that point, and the cheapest (always good!) And The Corner Bar is definitely a corner bar. It is in a neighborhood, and is not a place a tourist would typically go. That is not saying it's bad or dangerous at all, it's just your neighborhood local joint.


In fact, two in 10 teachers said their students get no CS education at all. In their schools, 60 percent said CS wasn't part of the curriculum; 30 percent said a lack of funding held their schools back; and 25 percent said that it wasn't covered because it's not a subject that students were tested on.
These results came from a November 2018 online survey of 540 K-12 teachers Microsoft commissioned by YouGov, a public opinion company. Microsoft released the findings as part of "Computer Science Education Week," which takes place this week in schools all over the world. Along with the survey results, the company also shared links to its own teacher resources.
Many teachers expressed feelings of inadequacy in teaching CS. Thirty percent said they felt "under qualified" to help their students prepare for a more digital future; 20 percent said they felt "overwhelmed" by the prospect of teaching CS.
Yet most (88 percent) also recognized that a grounding in CS was important for helping students prepare for their futures. And that's not just as programmers or computer engineers. More than eight in 10 (83 percent) consider coding to be an important aspect of helping build students' creativity.
Microsoft has committed a hefty $10 million through 2020 to help Code.org, an organization that promotes Hour of Code, a program of tutorials that give students exposure to programming concepts as part of CS Education Week. The funding will help the nonprofit lobby for all U.S. states to pass policies supporting access to CS and expand access in every school to Code.org's teacher training programs.
Access to Microsoft's newest Minecraft tutorial, which helps students understand two programming concepts, loops and conditional statements.

Barry Scheck Testifies Before Congress on Pretrial Innocence Reforms
By Innocence Staff
Barry Scheck speaks at Voices For Innocence in April 2017. (Image: MatteDesign)
Today, Barry Scheck, co-founder and special counsel at the Innocence Project testified before the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security in support of the long-standing policy work being done around pretrial deficiencies that contribute to wrongful convictions.
"I appreciate Subcommittee Chairwoman Sheila Jackson Lee and Chairman Jerrold Nadler for convening today's important hearing," said Mr. Scheck. "Preventing wrongful convictions starts with many of the reforms we at the Innocence Project have long advocated for to make the system more just. We urge Congress to adopt these recommendations relating to pretrial reform, from robust discovery to holistic defense."
At the hearing — "From Miranda to Gideon: A Call for Pretrial Reform" — Mr. Scheck outlined the protocols necessary to pursue accurate and fair outcomes in the criminal legal process. His testimony also addressed practices and techniques that should be adopted or eradicated such as the prevention of false confessions, implementing more holistic defense, and ensuring fair discovery processes.
False confessions contributed to the wrongful convictions of 30% DNA exonerees in the United States. The Innocence Project advocates for the codification of policies requiring recorded interrogations and banning police deception, the latter of which is currently legal across the country. The Innocence Project also advocates for pretrial reliability hearings which are critical in assessing the validity and authenticity of confessions.
Innocence Project Director of Policy Rebecca Brown echoed Mr. Scheck's testimony, "We urge Congress to pursue these changes in the pretrial system, including ensuring open file discovery practices and reliability assessments of confession evidence; prohibiting law enforcements' deceptive techniques in interrogations; addressing the trial penalty; and holistic representation. These changes — rooted in the presumption of innocence, a pillar of our justice system — can establish a more just and fair criminal legal process."

Thank you for all the work that you have done to help innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. It is a shame that we have so many problems in our justice system and I hope you are listened to and changes are made.
