Jessica De Bord, DDS, MSD, MA (Bioethics)
Opportunities to "consent" a patient abound on the wards. The aim of this section is to provide you with the tools required for the "basic minimum" as well as providing a more comprehensive picture of the informed consent process. You will find that the particular circumstances (e.g. the patient's needs or the procedure) will determine whether a basic or comprehensive informed consent process is necessary. (See also Informed Consent in the OR.)
Informed consent is the process by which the treating health care provider discloses appropriate information to a competent patient so that the patient may make a voluntary choice to accept or refuse treatment. (Appelbaum, 2007)1 It originates from the legal and ethical right the patient has to direct what happens to her body and from the ethical duty of the physician to involve the patient in her health care.
What are the elements of full informed consent?
The most important goal of informed consent is that the patient has an opportunity to be an informed participant in her health care decisions. It is generally accepted that informed consent includes a discussion of the following elements:
The nature of the decision/procedure
Reasonable alternatives to the proposed intervention
The relevant risks, benefits, and uncertainties related to each alternative
Assessment of patient understanding
The acceptance of the intervention by the patient
In order for the patient's consent to be valid, she must be considered competent to make the decision at hand and her consent must be voluntary. It is easy for coercive situations to arise in medicine. Patients often feel powerless and vulnerable. To encourage voluntariness, the physician can make clear to the patient that she is participating in a decision-making process, not merely signing a form. With this understanding, the informed consent process should be seen as an invitation for the patient to participate in health care decisions. The physician is also generally obligated to provide a recommendation and share his reasoning process with the patient. Comprehension on the part of the patient is equally as important as the information provided. Consequently, the discussion should be carried on in layperson's terms and the patient's understanding should be assessed along the way.
Basic or simple consent entails letting the patient know what you would like to do; giving basic information about the procedure; and ensuring that the patient assents or consents to the intervention. Assent refers to a patient's willing acceptance of a treatment, intervention, or clinical care. Basic consent is appropriate, for example, when drawing blood in a patient who has given blood before. Sometimes consent to the procedure is implied (e.g. the patient came in to have blood drawn), but an explanation of the elements of the procedure remain necessary. Decisions that merit this sort of basic informed consent process require a low-level of patient involvement because there is a high-level of community consensus that the treatment being offered is the only or best option and/or there is low risk involved in the treatment If a patient does not consent under the paradigm of basic consent, then a fuller informed consent discussion is warranted.
How much information is considered "adequate"?
How do you know when you have provided enough information about a proposed intervention? Most of the literature and law in this area suggest one of three approaches:
Reasonable physician standard: what would a typical physician say about this intervention? This standard allows the physician to determine what information is appropriate to disclose. However, this standard is often inadequate, since most research shows that the typical physician tells the patient very little. This standard is also generally considered inconsistent with the goals of informed consent, as the focus is on the physician rather than on what the patient needs to know.
Reasonable patient standard: what would the average patient need to know in order to be an informed participant in the decision? This standard focuses on considering what a typical patient would need to know in order to understand the decision at hand.
Subjective standard: what would this particular patient need to know and understand in order to make an informed decision? This standard is the most challenging to incorporate into practice, since it requires tailoring information to each patient.
Most states have legislation or legal cases that determine the required standard for informed consent. In the state of Washington, we use the "reasonable patient standard." The best approach to the question of how much information is enough is one that meets both your professional obligation to provide the best care and respects the patient as a person, with the right to a voice in health care decisions. (See also Truth-Telling and Law and Medicine.)
What sorts of interventions require informed consent?
All health care interventions require some kind of consent by the patient, following a discussion of the procedure with a health care provider. Patients fill out a general consent form when they are admitted or receive treatment from a health care institution. Most health care institutions, including UWMC, Harborview, and VAMC also have policies that state which health interventions require a signed consent form. For example, surgery, anesthesia, and other invasive procedures are usually in this category. These signed forms are the culmination of a dialogue required to foster the patient's informed participation in the clinical decision.
For a wide range of decisions, explicit written consent is neither required nor needed, but some meaningful discussion is always needed. For instance, a man contemplating having a prostate-specific antigen screen for prostate cancer should know the relevant arguments for and against this screening test, discussed in lay terms. (See also Research Ethics.)
Is it ever acceptable to not have a full informed consent?
Exceptions to full informed consent are:
If the patient does not have decision-making capacity, such as a person with dementia, in which case a proxy, or surrogate decision-maker, must be found. (See Surrogate Decision-Making/No Legal Next of Kin.)
A lack of decision-making capacity with inadequate time to find an appropriate proxy without harming the patient, such as a life-threatening emergency where the patient is not conscious
When the patient has waived consent.
When a competent patient designates a trusted loved-one to make treatment decisions for him or her. In some cultures, family members make treatment decisions on behalf of their loved-ones. Provided the patient consents to this arrangement and is assured that any questions about his/her medical care will be answered, the physician may seek consent from a family member in lieu of the patient.
When is it appropriate to question a patient's ability to participate in decision making?
In most cases, it is clear whether or not patients have capacity to make their own decisions. Occasionally, it is not so clear. Patients are under an unusual amount of stress during illness and can experience anxiety, fear, and depression. The stress associated with illness should not necessarily preclude one from participating in one's own care. However, precautions should be taken to ensure the patient does have the capacity to make good decisions. There are several different standards of decision-making capacity. Generally you should assess the patient's ability to:
Understand his or her situation,
Understand the risks associated with the decision at hand, and
Communicate a decision based on that understanding.
When this is unclear, a psychiatric consultation can be helpful. Of course, just because a patient refuses a treatment does not in itself mean the patient is incompetent. Competent patients have the right to refuse treatment, even those treatments that may be life-saving. Treatment refusal may, however, be an indication that it is necessary to pause to discuss further the patient's beliefs and understanding about the decision, as well as your own.
What about the patient whose decision making capacity varies from day to day?
A patient's decision-making capacity is variable as their medications or underlying disease processes ebb and flow. You should do what you can to catch a patient in a lucid state - even lightening up on the medications if necessary and safe - in order to include her in the decision making process. Delirious patients have waxing and waning abilities to understand information. However, if a careful assessment is done and documented at each contact, and during lucid periods the patient consistently and persistently makes the same decision over time, this may constitute adequate decisional capacity for the question at hand.
What should occur if the patient cannot give informed consent?
If the patient is determined to be incapacitated/incompetent to make health care decisions, a surrogate decision maker must speak for her. There is a specific hierarchy of appropriate decision makers defined by state law (also see the DNR topic page). If no appropriate surrogate decision maker is available, the physicians are expected to act in the best interest of the patient until a surrogate is found or appointed. In rare circumstances, when no surrogate can be identified, a guardian ad litem may have to be appointed by the court. Confer with social work and risk management if you have trouble finding a legal surrogate for the patient.
How does informed consent apply to children?
Children do not have the decision-making capacity to provide informed consent. Since consent, by definition, is given for an intervention for oneself, parents cannot provide informed consent on behalf of their children. Instead they can provide informed permission for treatment. For older children and adolescents, assent should always be sought in addition to the authorization of legal surrogates. Adolescents and mature minors are legally and ethically authorized to provide informed consent if they are emancipated, and in many states, including Washington, they may provide consent for matters regarding sexual and reproductive health, mental health, and substance abuse. See your state's legislation regarding mature minors and consent laws.
The primary responsibility of the physician is the well-being of the child. Therefore, if the parental decision places the child at risk of harm then further action may be indicated. When there are differences in opinion between the parents and physicians that cannot be resolved ethics consultation may be pursued, and legal avenues may be pursued when all other means have failed. Children should be included in decision-making at a developmentally appropriate level and assent should be sought when possible. (See Parental Decision Making.)
Is there such a thing as presumed/implied consent?
The patient's consent should only be "presumed," rather than obtained, in emergency situations when the patient is unconscious or incompetent and no surrogate decision maker is available, and the emergency interventions will prevent death or disability. In general, the patient's presence in the hospital ward, ICU or clinic does not represent implied consent to all treatment and procedures. The patient's wishes and values may be quite different from the values of the physician. While the principle of respect for person obligates you to do your best to include the patient in the health care decisions that affect her life and body, the principle of beneficence may require you to act on the patient's behalf when her life is at stake.

Washington State Minor Consent
Informed Consent: Case 1
A 64-year-old woman with MS is hospitalized. The team feels she may need to be placed on a feeding tube soon to assure adequate nourishment. They ask the patient about this in the morning and she agrees. However, in the evening (before the tube has been placed), the patient becomes disoriented and seems confused about her decision to have the feeding tube placed. She tells the team she doesn't want it in. They revisit the question in the morning, when the patient is again lucid. Unable to recall her state of mind from the previous evening, the patient again agrees to the procedure.
Is this patient competent to decide? Which preference should be honored?
This patient's underlying disease is impairing her decision-making capacity. If her wishes are consistent during her lucid periods, this choice may be considered her real preference and followed accordingly. However, as her decision-making capacity is questionable, getting a surrogate decision maker involved can help determine what her real wishes are.
A 55-year-old man has a 3-month history of chest pain and fainting spells. You feel his symptoms merit cardiac catheterization. You explain the risks and potential benefits to him, and include your assessment of his likely prognosis without the intervention. He is able to demonstrate that he understands all of this, but refuses the intervention.
Can he do that, legally? Should you leave it at that?
This patient understands what is at stake with his treatment refusal. As he is competent to make this decision, you have a duty to respect his choice. However, you should also be sure to explore his reasons for refusing treatment and continue to discuss your recommendations. A treatment refusal should be honored, but it should also not be treated as the end of a discussion.

The Turner Prize: What Does Academic Collaboration Mean?
Posted by Dana Marsh

"Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." – Henry Ford
That powerful quote was used by Karen Sweeney ('80 AE) to close out the 2014 Henry C. Turner Prize for Innovation in Construction event on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.
Sweeney, Senior Vice President: Diversity, Inclusion and Community at Turner Construction, served as moderator of the panel discussion after the Penn State Department of Architectural Engineering was recognized for bringing together students, educators, researchers, government entities, and industry to build efficiencies in the building industry and encourage energy-efficient building solutions.
The award committee specifically cited architectural engineering's GridSTAR Center efforts at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia as one of the reasons for honoring Penn State with this year's prize.
"We were missing a real practical practice in engineering so the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation went to Penn State to collaborate on the Navy Yard development," explained John Grady, Turner Prize panelist and president, Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. "Penn State warmed to the challenge quickly, especially the College of Engineering and especially the Department of Architectural Engineering. They knew how to be a difference maker. They were entrepreneurial and recognized that coming into Philadelphia meant bringing something new to the relationship."
Panelist Ted Lynch ('92 AE, '96 PhD), president, Southland Industries, agreed that Penn State is willing to adapt to the needs of its partners. "Penn State architectural engineering is responsive to the needs of the design/build industry," he said.
One area of opportunity, Lynch said, is for industry and higher education to collaborate in the research areas that would help address the many issues and challenges facing the industry.
"The traditional university system isn't set up to encourage collaboration, or at least not without too much bureaucracy," Grady said.
"We have the freedom to establish programs like GridSTAR and engage students who are interested in these programs," said Chimay Anumba, department head, Penn State Department of Architectural Engineering.
Another panelist and former under-secretary at the United States Department of Education, Martha Kanter, said that other universities should look at Penn State architectural engineering's track record of preparing students for success and scale it to help solve the nationwide issue of students being underprepared for the work force.
"The nation needs graduates with imagination; students with cross- and multi-disciplinary approaches to problem solving," Grady said. "Universities have the opportunity to bring all this together in order to train future leaders."
The presentation of the Turner Prize (l. to r.): Chase Rynd, executive director, National Building Museum; Chimay Anumba, department head, Penn State Department of Architectural Engineering; David Riley, professor of architectural engineering and director of the GridSTAR Center; Anthony Atchley, senior associate dean, Penn State College of Engineering; Peter J. Davoren, president and chief executive officer, Turner Construction.
Karen Sweeney, left, moderates a conversation on innovation, education, and collaboration as driving forces in economic development and a 21st-century workforce. Panelists (L-R): Chimay Anumba, John Grady, Martha Kanter, and Ted Lynch.

Whether you're in high school or college, you spend a lot of time taking notes. You have several excellent options for doing so, and which works best for you depends a lot on your note taking style. It's best to pick software and stick to it so you don't to worry about moving stuff around later. Here's how to make the right choice from the outset.
Evernote has long been the go-to for students, and while it's not always obvious how you'd use it, once you get the hang of it, Evernote's a great place to dump everything, which means notes, to-do lists, audio, images, and more.
Evernote does a lot. On top of the basics, like rich text formatted notes and images, it has in-app image annotation, OCR support for scanning paper or whiteboards, email integration, easy notes sharing, a web clipper, and tons of organization tools. You can keep to-do lists with assignments, then add due dates to those assignments before you share that list with people involved in a group project. Evernote is a behemoth and because of that, it has a consistently improving interface on Windows and Mac, and mobile apps on Android and iOS that are updated with new features often. Evernote's meant as a catch-all filing cabinet for every thought, idea, and image you come across in your daily school life.
The everything-bucket nature of Evernote means it's overwhelming for some people and it takes some effort to really master it. It also has so many different organizational methods that it's easy to spend more time trying to decide where to put a note than it does to actually write it. It can also be a bit slow and cumbersome, especially if you're trying to use the mobile apps on older devices.
The other big catch with Evernote comes in the form of a recent price increase. Now, free users are limited to accessing Evernote on just two devices, like your phone and your computer. If you want more than that, you'll need to shell out for a premium plan. Thankfully, premium plans are currently 75% off for students for a full year (which should translate to about $18 for the year).
Microsoft's OneNote has come a long way in recent years and it easily goes toe-to-toe with Evernote in features. Even though OneNote is part of Microsoft Office, it's still entirely free, which makes it an excellent option for students. It's even more appealing if you're already using Microsoft Office for most of your schoolwork. OneNote is available as a desktop app and a web app, as well as for Android and iOS.
Like just about every other Office application, at a glance, OneNote's a complicated app to work with. You'll find it has tons of menus, tabs, and options. While it's overwhelming to start, OneNote's great for anyone who likes to really dig in and organize notes. You can create separate notebooks for every class, add rich text formatting to text, draw on notes, highlight text, and tons more.
If you're actively using the rest of Microsoft Office, OneNote really shines because the whole ecosystem is hooked together. You can embed tables from Excel, pull clips from emails, or link research to Word. OneNote also does a lot of the magic tricks that Evernote does, including importing images into notes, drawing directly on notes with a stylus, recording audio to notes, and easily saving links from any browser. You can also share notes with other classmates easily.
Like most of Microsoft apps, OneNote's biggest downfall is its massive scope. It's packed with menus, which means quickly scribbling down an idea is out of the question. It's also not particularly pleasant to look at and between the awkwardly colored tabs and the vibrant purple color-scheme, a lot of people might be turned off by the design alone.
Google Keep is Google's free note taking app that's made to capture notes, lists, photos, and audio. On top of the web version, it's available on both Android and iOS. We're big fans of Google Keep because it sits in a middle ground between complex notes apps like OneNote or Evernote, and simple apps like Simplenote.
Google Keep does pretty much everything you expect of a notes app from Google. You can organize notes easily using a color coded system, look for anything with a powerful search engine, share notes with others, and everything is synced up to your Google account. Students will appreciate the simple voice recording options and the ability to scan images into text easily, which comes in handy when your teachers still give you handouts. Keep also has a clipping extension so you can add URLs to your notes, which should be a huge help when you're researching different topics.
Unlike Evernote and OneNote, you don't need to spend a significant amount of time learning how to use Keep. Just load it up and it immediately makes sense. It's also well hooked into the Google ecosystem so do something like saving emails from Gmail work seamlessly, though there's still no direct integration with Google Drive.
There are other downfalls that stem from that simplicity, like the fact you can't format text, you can't organize notes into different folders, and Keep doesn't works great for larger blocks of text. Keep's best for those who don't mind using the search function to find notes and who aren't too verbose with their note-taking in general.
Not everyone wants to take massive, complicated notes. Some people just like to write down a few sentences. For that, we're fans of Simplenote. Simplenote is free on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Simplenote is basically a plain text editor with small organizational tools. You can only type text, with no formatting. You can't add images, audio, or video. You can't add web clippings or integrate emails. That said, you can organize notes with tags, and the simplicity of plain text means Simplenote's search is robust and fast.
That's it. That's all Simplenote does. The scarcity of features is a feature in itself though, and if you're taking classes where you're just taking basic text notes, Simplenote is all you need.
Look, you're probably spending an inordinate amount of time staring at your screen these days. You're writing papers every other day, taking a couple of classes online, and when you're not busy being crushed under a mountain of homework, you're zoning out watching Netflix. Which is all to say, sometimes the best notes app is no app at all, it's just a normal notebook.
Good old pen and paper can be useful for other reasons too. For one, if you're easily distracted, a notebook has the benefit of not having access to the internet. Notebooks are also surprisingly customizable, with lots of different organization methods like Bullet Journal or line edges. Notebooks also allow you to take notes in any style you prefer for every subject, whether that's creating columns, mind maps, or whatever else.
Pen and paper does have plenty of problems too. You can't search through notes, easily share them with classmates, or access them from a variety of devices if you accidentally forget your papers at home. Many people can also type much faster than they can write, which means you'll need to pay more attention to what you write to keep it short.
You'll still need to pick out a good notebook and pen though. You have a ton of options here, but Moleskine's are a popular favorite and come in a variety of sizes with different types of paper. Pens are perhaps less important to most people, but if you're looking for a popular pick, Pilot pens are always a solid choice.

Q: Better way to run a series of seven identical commands in sed? In the post Sed - Replace first k instances of a word in a file, a user suggests:
sed 's/old/new/;s/old/new/;s/old/new/;s/old/new/;s/old/new/' filename

as a method of replacing the first k instances of a word in a line. Seems like an inelegant solution to the problem of replacing the first k instances of old with new. There are other methods discussed, to do other things. But there are no other (or no other elegant) solutions to the problem of replacing the first k occurences of a word in a line using sed.
tl/dr:
I have a large group of items I call "slugs" that are really helpful for a variety of odd little things that I want to keep track of. They look like this:
#slug YYYY/MM/DD d hhmm field1 field2 field3 notes

And I keep them in a series of files that are dated. Then I put the files through a grep | sed | awk chain to generate reports from the data. So let's say my neighbor's dog is barking and it's keeping me up at night. Every time I hear the dog bark I will write down the time, and later I will note it in my logfile.
#bark 2016/04/06 W 0214 0232 Police showed up!

And after a while, I will have a database stored up, and hopefully, I will notice some trend, like... who knows what... the dogs bark at the full moon or something. The chain of little programs would look like:
grep "^#[Bb][Aa]" 2014* 2015* 2016* |\
sed 's/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/' |\
awk {something or other} >\
barking-dog-report

So, my problem is the sed portion:
sed 's/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/'

Which translates here into "replace the first five spaces into pipes." I use the pipe as the field separator in awk. A command like s/ /|/5 doesn't work, that just changes the fifth space on every line into a pipe. I just think that series of sed commands looks ridiculous. It's not a global replace s/ /|/g, because I want to retain the spaces as spaces (and not use them as field separators) for the notes section.

A: You can combine the five sed commands into one (but that doesn't make it shorter):
sed 's/^\([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\) \(.*\)/\1|\2|\3|\4|\5|\6/'

But you can put the grep search into the sed script to reduce the shell commands by one (here with your original substitution commands):
sed -n '/^#[Aa][Bb]/{s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;s/ /|/;p;}' files |\
awk '...' > report

Because We Felt Like It

Poking Holes In the Darkness: Park Valley Bluegrass Prodigies Jake & Ira
By Scott Roos
Park Valley bluegrass prodigies Jake Vaadeland and Ira Amundson, better known as the sensational duo Jake & Ira have achieved something truly magical with their latest full length effort The Cabin In the Valley. The record, a combination of bluegrass standards and original compositions shows a preservationist care and attention to detail that belies the ages of Vaadeland and Amundson who are both still in their teens.
"Ira and I grew up in a very musical community. We were surrounded by Bluegrass music where we grew up. Even in church service Bluegrass instruments were played and still are. But the day I heard the sounds of Flatt & Scruggs, Earl Scruggs and his five string banjo and Lester Flatt's unique guitar picking, I knew I wanted to make my living playing that beautiful music for other people," said Vaadeland in a recent interview with NSMZ.
"My dad always played music and of course it crept into me when I was little. He would play the guitar and sometimes the banjo, and I always liked it. My grandpa also played and so did his fathers and so on. That's where I learnt about the original Flatt and Scruggs, the Carter Family, and that kind of music. There is no replacement," explained Amundson.
On The Cabin In the Valley, not only does their passion shine through but so does their astonishing virtuosity. Their playing is tasteful as well, with carefully crafted nods to the bygone years of bluegrass and their musical heroes. As an added tip of the cap to the "old ways" the entire record was recorded on analogue tape to give it a more organic, gritty sound.
"Recording onto analogue tape really brings back the full sound that you just don't hear anymore. It's sort of a sweet sound, it's not so compressed and harsh. We wanted to record this way mostly because we want it to sound like those old records that made us want to play this music. But also, we want to sound unique and different than everybody else," explained Vaadeland.
"It completely follows along with our system of doing things like they did at the start. No one else records quite like us either. It all makes us more unique and that's how we like it. We don't want to be a 'generic bluegrass band'," added Amundson.
At the end of the day, these young men continue to evolve their sound and overall style. This latest effort from the duo, with the addition of the capable Jaxon Lalonde on bass, proves that bluegrass continues to be a main source of cultural inspiration in their neck of the woods. They are still crafting and refining their stage presence and vocal aesthetic but, if The Cabin in the Woods is any indication, Jake & Ira have taken the initial steps on a very unique journey and the sky is indeed the limit for both of them. In these COVID times they have been lights poking holes in the darkness, reminding us all that even though we can't necessarily have live music the way we would like, we can still enjoy all the truths and the beauty that music has to offer via the zeal, fervor and enthusiasm that Jake & Ira bring to the table.

Imam Ali & Ghadeer
Enmity with Imam Ali (as) 2
Causes of Enmity with Imam Ali (as) in the Light of Nahjul Balaghah
Mu'awiyah's letter to the Imam during the War of Siffin claiming equality with the Hashimites on the basis of what he boasted as his genealogy, was given a fitting reply by Imam 'Ali (as): (1)
...As for your saying that we are descendants of 'Abd Manaf it is true, but neither Umayyah was equal to Hashim nor Harb could be likened to 'Abd al-Mutallib or for that matter Abi Sufyan to Abi Talib. The muhajir (one who migrated to Medina with the Prophet) is superior to the taliq (2)(freed slave - a reference to the Prophet's declaration of amnesty and emancipation of Abi Sufyan, his family and other Meccan infidels at the time of the surrender of Mecca in 8 AH). The one of clean descent cannot be compared to the one who is of doubtful lineage.'
There is no similarity between the pursuer of truth and the adherent of the wrong or a believer and a hypocrite. How bad are the successors who go on following the predecessors who have fallen into hell.(3)
This statement of Imam 'Ali (as) has completely exposed Mu'awiyah in his true heathen colors till eternity.
Religious Factors
The advent of Islam gradually shifted the power balance in Mecca to the other side and whatever was hitherto regarded as meritorious yielded its place to factors which were beyond the comprehension of the Arabs. The boastfulness of the days of jahiliyyah, which was part of tribal life, was shattered and people were freed from the claws of idolatry. Now there were new life styles. Those who were of sincere heart and searched for truth and reality stepped into the value of the faith of Islam and joined Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).
The dividing line between the Hashimites and the Umayyads was redefined, and the barometers of genealogy and tribalism gave way to Islam and Kufr. There were new values of assessment. In this changed circumstances we find the young son of Abi Talib a frontrunner. Imam 'Ali (as), a boy of not more than ten years, emerges as the first Muslim' and stands peerless above all and everybody else in characteristics which define a human being and are considered humanitarian. To quote his own words:
O Allah I am the first to come towards You by hearing Your call and responding to it. No one has precedence over me in performing the prayer except the Messenger of Allah.) (4) He stands head and shoulders above all other Muslims and could rightly be called the personification of Islam and its values:
I discharged duties when others lost courage (to do so), and I came forward when others hid themselves. I spoke when others remained mum. I strode with Divine Light when others remained standing. I was the quietest of them in voice but the highest in going forward. I cleaved to its rein and applied myself solely to its pledge like the mountain which neither sweeping wind could move nor storm could shake... By God, I am surely the First to testify him (the Prophet)..."(5)
The seeds of enmity towards Imam 'Ali (as) were actually sowed on the day he stood up at the gathering of Dhu al-'Ashirah to testify to the divine mission of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) when the rest of the gathering mocked at the Messenger.'"
This hatred among the Meccan infidels grew when they found the young lad always at the side of the Prophet ready to frustrate their sinister designs. The night Imam 'Ali (as) slept on the Prophet's bed" to allow him to migrate undetected to Medina, was the high point of frustration for the infidels who had planned to murder the Prophet.(6)In Medina they found him an impregnable barrier to their military assaults which were always beaten back soundly with heavy losses.
Imam 'Ali (as) says in this regard:
By Allah, I was among their rear-guard till they turned back on their sides and were flocked in their rope. I never showed weakness or lack of courage, nor did I betray and become languid. By Allah, I shall split the wrong till I extract right from its wrongs.'(7)
Never for a moment did he neglect the commands of God and His Prophet and when others fled the field of battle he stood firm like a mountain and shielded the Prophet with his life.(8) No one was so close to the Prophet as he. His life started with a glance at the countenance of the Prophet(9) and the two were not separated until the passing away of the Messenger of God.(10)
So firm was the bond between the two cousins that the Prophet said: 'Aliyun minni wa ana min 'Ali ('Ali is from me and I am from 'Ali)(11)
The affinity between the two, if it was a great blessing for Islam, it aroused jealousy and hatred among those whose hearts overflowed with malice. In the lifetime of the Prophet these persons could not succeed in their malicious designs against Imam 'Ali (as), but after his passing away they exploited every opportunity and used different pretexts to undermine his position and display their enmity towards him. The ignoring of his claims for the caliphate on three occasions are indicative of the enmity towards him. To quote his own words:
By Allah the son of Abi Quhafah (Abi Bakr) dressed himself with it (the caliphate) and he certainly knew that my position in relation to it was the same as the position of the axis in relation to the hand mill. The flood water flows down from me and the bird cannot fly up to me...... (12)
The first ruler passed on the ball of caliphate to the person who had procured the vote for him at Saqifah Bani Sa'idah. Imam 'Ali (as) says in this regard:
I watched the plundering of my inheritance till the first one went his way but handed over the caliphate to Ibn al-Khattab after himself. It is strange that during lifetime he wished to get rid of the caliphate but eased its way for the other after his death... This one put the caliphate in a tough enclosure where the utterance was haughty and the touch was rough. Mistakes were in plenty and so also the excuses. One in contact with it was like the rider of an unruly camel. If he pulled up its rein the very nostril would be slit, but if he let it loose he would be thrown. (13)
Continue in the next article: ()
1. Nahjul Balaghah, Letter no. 17.
2. Imam 'Ali has used the word lathiq which means "one who is attributed to other than one's father". Apart from what cited in note no.1, two other instances of doubtful parentage can be pointed out in Mu'awiyah's lineage. The first concerns Harb who was said to be a slave of Umayyah. The Sunni scholar Ibn Abi al-Hadid in his Sharh Nahjul Balaghah, has quoted from Abi al- Faraj Isfahani's (himself of Umayyad descent) book al-Aghani that Mu'awiyah enquired from the Arab genealogist Di'bil whether he had seen Abd al-Mutallib and he replied in the affirmative. He enquired about his personality and was told that 'Abd al-Mutallib was noble, handsome and a man of broad forehead with his face bearing the brightness of Prophethood. Then he enquired whether he had seen Umayyah and how was his appearance? Di'bil replied that when he saw him he was weak-bodied, bent in stature and blind in the eyes. He was always led by his slave. Mu'awiyah said it was Umayyah's son Harb, to which Di'bil retorted: You say so, but the Quraysh only know that he (Harb) was his slave.The second doubt concerns Mu'awiyah himself, who to quote Ibn Abi al-Hadid, was the son of Hind, a woman notorious for her loose and immoral life. The Sunni scholar Zamakhshari in Rabi ' al- Abrar does not believe that Mu'awiyah was the son of Abi Sufyan and has attributed his parentage to four persons. God knows best.

Derick
I am very happy to have Derick Pierson as an Instructor at Pixie Fitness. Derick Pierson began his pole dancing and circus career almost three years ago. Starting later in life due to injuries generated by car accidents, he developed a "never give up attitude". As an ex-cheerleader he has a background in tumbling and a very competitive drive. At the age of eighteen he commenced training with the South Florida Circus Arts School in Miami Florida. He has trained in contortion, trapeze, silks, and aerial cube. Discovering his love for pole Derick started through self-teaching, and then branched out to find Allison Sipes (USPDF Pro/ Master X-pert Trainer) his teacher, and friend. With her help he started his competitive pole career. Derick is now the Male American Pole Fitness Champion for 2011, and the IPC 2ND place Pole Art Champion 2010, and he recently won National Aerial Pole Art 2012 Championship. Derick was just voted in Pole Dance International magazine Best new artist, best pole flexibility, and best over all male performer! He has also been featured in Pole spin, and Vertical Art and Fitness magazines. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmRyXQziV8g
NANETTE WESTON
After suddenly becoming a widow with a 6 year old child, Nanette had spent the following years focused solely on keeping their home and raising her son. Then one day, after watching a week of Oprah Winfrey episodes that encouraged mothers to take time and do something for themselves, her sons baseball game was rained out. So with Oprahs urging to be adventurous replaying in her head, she rushed to make the beginning of a pole dance class! That day in 2010 was her very first exposure in her life to pole dance, which just happened to be right before her 50th Birthday! She was instantly captivated and from that moment on it was her own head urging her back everyday! So now, in addition to being a devoted parent, she was also a determined and devoted pole dance student, and In less than one year, (while still at the age of 50) Nanette became a pole dance instructor herself! As a teacher the opportunity to meet and hopefully inspire other mothers, and woman of all ages to take time, and care of themselves was a rewarding as the sport itself!
It was one year later (2011 and now 51 years old!) Nanette began her 4 years training at Florida Circus School in Davie Florida where she focused mainly on aerial silks,aerial hammock, lyra and contortion. In preparation to becoming an aerial hammock instructor in 2012 she traveled to learn all she could to develope one of the areas first structured aerial hammock classes that combined both traditional aerial sling and actual arial performance moves. In Addition to the Florida Circus School, she also frequently trained at the Sky Gym of Atlanta,Georgia and Anti-Gravity of Orlando,Fl. When she wasn't teaching or training she sometimes could be seen performing, and was featured in the Florida's "Grey Matters"magazine. Whether training, teaching or performing Nanette enjoys every moment she gets to participate herself, or motivate someone else to enjoy the pole dancing and aerial art forms!

David is just a small boy and the sea's powerful waves frighten him. After being dumped by a wave, he doesn't want to go near that frightening water. Ever. But one day, he discovers a conch shell. The sound of the sea inside this shell shows David another side of the sea: a friendly, harmless side.
David takes the shell home and feels sorry for the sea trapped within, so he invites the waters to come out, and they do.
The journey from fear to understanding is poignantly portrayed. David's ability to see another side of the overwhelming waves empowers him, just as such insight can empower us all. This classic tale is about so much more than a little boy and his fear of the sea.
Each of Jane Tanners illustrations are works of art. I'd love to have them hanging on my walls. Instead, it is with great joy that I return to the pages of There's a Sea in My Bedroom to discover a little more about David and the sea each time.

Lee Alexander McQueen didn't care whether you liked his collections or not, as long as you felt something. And feel something you did.
You felt it in the impossible interplay of dialectic notions: grotesque and glorious, rebellious and romantic, dark and desirable, maddening and melancholic. The late McQueen evoked a series of inexplicable emotions that remained etched in one's memory long after the dress had left the runway.
His notion of fashion floated in a sphere beyond functionality; fashion was not just fashion, as a dress was not just a dress, or a pair of shoes weren't just shoes. Fashion, in the late designer's creatively capable hands, evolved into an artistic weapon fighting for cultural change.
You felt the romantic primitivism in 'Eshu' (A/W 2000). You felt his deep regard for his Scottish roots and his belief in the transformative power of clothing in 'The Widows of Culloden' (A/W 2006). You felt his romantic preoccupation with the exotic in 'Its Only a Game' (S/S 2005). You felt nature's influence on his work in 'Plato's Atlantis' (S/S 2010).

If you felt something, and you're in London this spring-summer, Vogue recommends you visit the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit at the Victoria & Albert Museum, on until August 2. The display comprises ten rooms: from the fetishistic 'Cabinet of Curiosities' and his S/S 2001 collection 'Voss' to his greatest influence 'London' and the Victorian-era inspired 'A Gothic Mind'.
Vogue's Senior Fashion Stylist Fabio Immediato spent a day exploring the exhibit—"I don't often get goose bumps nor do I ever wander in museums with my mouth wide, but today I did both"—and caught up with the V&A's fashion curator Sonnet Stanfill.
Stanfill remembers McQueen as "the master of cutting and constructing – and the master of tailoring". She credits him with bringing drama and quality to the fashion industry.
The curator's personal favourite from the exhibit? The 'Romantic Gothic' room. "You can see most of the room is filled with dark, haunting looking clothes, but then on our left you have this gorgeous cabinet filled with dreamy dresses and in the middle a look with the gold painted goose feather coat, giving light to the room. It is the whole juxtaposition between dark and light," she adds.
Attend Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at the V&A museum, London, until August 2, 2015. Timings: 10:00 – 17:45 daily; 10:00 – 22:00 Fridays.


White House press secretary Sarah Sanders held nothing back during a press briefing on Wednesday, calling out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and roasting several reporters with some clever anti-media zingers.
When asked if Pelosi has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to deliver his State of the Union address following her political stunt to postpone it during the government shutdown, Sanders didn't mince words.
She also advised government workers concerned about another potential government shutdown to contact Democrats in Congress and tell them to do their jobs.
"My advice would be to call your Democrat member of Congress and ask them to fix the problem so we don't have to continue having this process," Sanders said.
She took a humorous jab at another reporter over his self-admitted lack of knowledge on DACA.
"Since I know so little about this, let me ask you a couple questions," the reporter began.
"At least we're in agreement on something," Sanders interrupted.
Later in the briefing, she took a shot at CNN reporter Jim Acosta's expense.
"I never thought I'd be shutting down one reporter to go to Jim Acosta...but here we are," she said.
Of course, she also ended up clashing with Acosta after she called on him for a question. Predictably, he asked if the Trump presidency was in "danger" after the arrest of Roger Stone.
She made it clear that the charges against Roger Stone literally have nothing to do with President Trump.


Sure, Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt, stars of the manic Depression-era comedy "The Impostors," share the same first names and body types as a certain pair of silent-to-talkie favorites. But it's the bumbling slapstick and friendly rivalry offered by Tucci (who wrote and directed the film) and Platt that's particularly reminiscent of the screen duo Laurel and Hardy, as well as the Marx Brothers and even the Keystone Kops.
Tucci and Platt, as unemployed New York actors Arthur and Maurice, in fact open the fall's funniest movie (thus far) with a sequence devoid of all sound except for the bouncy score. The two stage a confrontation at a restaurant that graduates from sniping over bad habits to an argument over a woman to a knife fight that ends tragically.
Fellow diners are horrified, and Maurice turns his final moments into an exaggerated ballet of chest-clutching demise. "You stole my death," Arthur says later, as the two recount their latest public charade and lament their prospects for work.
Another such put-on results in tickets to a Broadway rendition of "Hamlet" featuring celebrated English actor Jeremy Burtom (Alfred Molina), a pompous alcoholic who causes his struggling counterparts to roll their eyes and make mock-vomiting motions. Burtom, overhearing their nasty appraisal of his performance, takes enormous offense and enlists the cops in heated pursuit of his tormentors, who escape by hiding in a shipboard crate.
Arthur and Maurice become inadvertent stowaways on a luxury liner, while a long list of cast-against-type actors -- several of whom were seen in "Big Night," Tucci's directorial debut -- play the passengers.
Steve Buscemi goes into overdrive as a suicidal big-band singer who bawls while singing "The Nearness of You" but finds true love with the dour daughter (Hope Davis) of a money-hungry widow (Dana Ivey). Campbell Scott is a Nazi-in-training head steward with eyes for sweet stewardess Lily (Lili Taylor), who in turn has fallen for Italian ship detective Marco (Matt McGrath). Also figuring into the fun are a deposed queen (Isabella Rossellini), a dastardly first mate (Tony Shalhoub), and an oversexed tennis pro (Billy Connolly) who touts the glories of "Greek love."
Burtom, too, is onboard, and Arthur and Maurice spend the trip avoiding him, foiling evil plans and generally causing a ruckus. "The Impostors," though, is greater than the sum of those parts. Its palpable electricity shocks with funny lines, near-perfect timing and readily apparent chemistry. Such synchronicity is rare to behold.

The Art Garden Launch
An urban sanctuary has been created at The Whitworth, this Art Garden in the gallery's grounds has been developed together with Jo Malone London. Devised by renowned landscape and garden designer Sarah Price, the layout of the garden is focused on waves of texture, colour and scent, which reveal themselves throughout the seasons. The planting scheme includes some of Jo Malone London's most-loved ingredients from peonies, to bluebells, sage and geranium, to create a richly scented sanctuary.
The garden will be a key space for outdoor events and horticultural activities such as the GROW project.
GROW is a project from the Whitworth that promotes the benefits of engaging in horticultural activities to improve the mental wellbeing of an individual. Working together in the garden allows each individual to learn new horticultural skills as well as creating a nurturing sense of community.
With the support of Jo Malone London and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, the GROW project provides beneficiaries with the opportunity to work with professional horticulturalists to help create and maintain the Art Garden, alongside our art gardener volunteer team and volunteers from Jo Malone London.
The Art Garden will be cultivated and cared for through the sale of a Jo Malone London Charity Candle.

The school nurtures freedom of thought and a personal relationship with God. This is most evident in the teaching of Religious Education, and in the prayer life of the school community.


Usually these do find their way into BAT providing the team uses the particular aircraft they were created for.
If I do not get around to making a SSP for any new models that are released then Andy (SAS~vampire_pilot) can also make them to include whenever BAT is updated providing the model itself enables the process, therefore in most cases there will always be new statics made for most new content in BAT.
But anyway, any new stationary is a very welcome addition!
It is no problem for me to make them for you Stefan, however, I was not aware the aircraft had been released outside of BAT so it seemed a strange request, maybe someone has extracted them.
Anyway, I will take a look at doing them tomorrow if they are not available to you.
If you have time at some point would greatly appreciate an SSP for the F-106.
AS always thank you so much!!!
