May the Best Manning Win
Eli and Peyton face off for the first time in the Sunday-night opener, and they don't particularly want to talk about it (even with each other). Making NFL history as the first brothers to start at quarterback in the same game, they'll add another chapter to the Manning family saga-and when it's over, you won't want to be around the one who lost
By Michael Silver
On a tree-lined street in a shaken city, two men and their mother took a detour down memory lane. Following lunch in New Orleans's Garden District on a warm July afternoon, Peyton Manning had a sudden urge to see the house in which he first dreamed of becoming an NFL quarterback. With his mother, Olivia, riding shotgun and his younger brother, Eli, in the backseat, Peyton steered a Honda pickup toward Seventh Street and parked in front of a goldenrod-yellow wooden cottage.He opened the cast-iron front gate and waited as Olivia reluctantly followed,while Eli stayed in the car and chatted on his cell phone. Looking back at the youngest of her three boys, Olivia smiled and thought, Eli wouldn't do this in a million years. At first glance the house appeared to be a single-story shotgun structure, but Peyton, who lived there until he was almost seven, knew otherwise. He had fond memories of the large upstairs bedroom that he had shared with his older brother, Cooper, the second story hidden by the extended shingled roof in front. This was a 19th-century camelback house, designed to fool building inspectors who rode by on horse and buggy into undervaluing the property. It was on that second floor that Peyton had learned to compete, battling Cooper and their father, Archie, in heated contests with a foam basketball. This was where he was determined to go.
After ringing the bell, Peyton smiled as an elderly man opened the front door. Reaching out to shake hands, Peyton introduced himself and asked to come inside. Although he didn't buy the home from the Mannings when they sold it in 1983, the owner was aware of its history and recognized the Indianapolis Colts' star. He invited Peyton and Olivia inside but rebuffed the quarterback's request to go upstairs."I'm sorry," the man said. "It's just not in good enough shape." Peyton pressed his case, at one point ascending a couple of steps before being told--again--that the second story was off-limits.
Olivia took the man at his word and went back to the car, where Eli had finished his phone conversation. The third-year quarterback of the New York Giants was two when the family moved a half dozen blocks away to the house his parents still occupy, and he seemed utterly uninterested in revisiting the past. But back inside Peyton persisted. A few minutes later he returned to the car and said,"O.K., y'all can come on in." As Eli shrugged and followed, his big brother turned back and told Olivia, "And I'm going upstairs."

What to watch and watch for
This Sunday night in East Rutherford, N.J., Olivia Manning will be upstairs in a luxury suite at Giants Stadium, part of a sellout crowd watching her sons make history. A former Ole Miss homecoming queen who began dating a Southern football legend-to-be during her freshman year, Olivia has experienced a lifetime of thrills and chills as the most emotionally invested fan of the four men in her life. She and Archie once attended 17 of their sons' basketball games in a single week. "One day when the boys were young, I pulled out of my driveway and headed up the one-way street going the wrong way," Olivia recalls."That's when I realized, O.K., I'm losing it--too many games."
What makes Sunday's different is that Peyton, 30, and Eli, 25, will become the first brothers to start at quarterback in the same NFL game. Given that Peyton's Colts went 14–2 last season and won the AFC South for the third year in a row, while Eli's Giants were 11--5 and took their first NFC East title since 2000, the matchup would be sexy enough without the family drama. That the brothers were each drafted with the No. 1 pick—and that their father played 14 years in the league—adds to the intrigue. Throw in the backdrop of New York City and NBC's nonstop promotion of its new Sunday night NFL slot, and what you have is the pro football's most hyped season opener, ever.
Think of it as the league's answer to Venus and Serena Williams at Centre Court in Wimbledon."It's kind of exciting to be part of football history," Olivia says,pausing to sip ice water in her living room. "I don't want anybody to say,'Oh, poor Mrs. Manning.' This is a great thing."
Olivia smiles as she says this, but should we believe her? After the game, one of her boys will be miserable, a mother's concern long after the kids have left the nest. To know this, merely mention last season's playoffs and watch the color drain from Olivia's face.
January was as bad for the Mannings as August was for Pluto. In his first postseason start, a wild-card game against the Carolina Panthers at Giants Stadium, Eli threw three interceptions and suffered a 23--0 defeat. A week later in a divisional-round clash at Indy, the Pittsburgh Steelers pounded Peyton and the top-seeded Colts and then held on for a stunning 21--18 victory. Faced with yet another long off-season of he-can't-win-the-big-one chatter, Peyton became so upset during his postgame press conference that he criticized his offensive linemen.
"It's not easy to be around either of them after a loss," Olivia says. "Your heart just hurts for them."

Nearly eight months later two quarterbacks seek redemption, and neither is thrilled about discussing the uncomfortable circumstances: One will jump-start his season att he other's expense. It is why, as the 32-year-old Cooper says, Peyton and Eli"seem to have developed a case of lockjaw" in recent months. While both Mannings profess to being excited about the matchup--"It's going to be an awesome atmosphere," says Peyton—they'd rather play it down. Referring to each team's All-Pro pass rusher, Eli said during training camp, "[The Giants' Michael] Strahan and [the Colts' Dwight] Freeney don't care if it's two brothers playing quarterback. For the other 52 guys on each team, it's a football game, not a [story]."
For the Mannings,it's another chapter in a pro football saga that began in New Orleans, where Archie was the Saints' starting quarterback for all but one season from 1971 through '81, hanging tough for lousy teams. "Every single year, we had hope, and then we'd lose," Olivia recalls. "The best we ever did was 8–8. I wasn't as nervous for him as I am for the boys—it's different when it's your children—but I should've been, because he was running for his life."
At home the Mannings made a point of not pushing their sons into sports--Let's be normal was their mantra--but Cooper and Peyton were so competitive that they immediately gravitated toward Archie's world. With Eli, it was different."He got dragged to so many [of his brothers'] games when he was little," Archie says, "we thought he'd rebel against sports."Often, when faced with a Saturday or Sunday of spectatorship, Eli would beg his mother, "Get me a babysitter." Sometimes he and Olivia would browse through antique shops on Magazine Street while Archie took the older boys to their games.
While Peyton seemed born to be a quarterback, Eli came off like a budding tax auditor who happened to be a gifted athlete. "Eli would come home from one of his baseball games and not say a word, and you'd ask him how it went," says Cooper, an institutional broker for an energy research firm and a married father of three."He'd say, 'Good,' and not much more. We'd later find out from my mom that he'd hit a game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth. If it was Peyton in the same situation, he'd barge through the front door and yell, 'Dinger, baby!'"
If Eli was reserved by nature, he became even more so, his parents believe, as he struggled to learn to read. The same person who would later score an exceptional 39 out of 50 on the Wonderlic, the intelligence test used by NFL teams to evaluate prospects, was on the verge of having to repeat the first grade. Instead,Olivia and Archie switched him from Isidore Newman, the elite private school the older boys attended, to St. George's, a smaller school known for its reading resource center. "He was getting ribbed by some of his friends, and he worked very, very hard to overcome his problem," Olivia remembers."He wanted so badly to make it back to Newman, and after the seventh grade he tested back in."
Eli's football success at Newman--he threw for at least 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in each of his three seasons as a starter--caught his parents by surprise. When he gotto Ole Miss, where decades earlier his father's heroics had inspired ballads(Cooper, a talented receiver, was set to play for the Rebels before a spinal condition ended his career), his teammates initially viewed him as an aloof child of privilege. Saints halfback Deuce McAllister, who was the team's star during Manning's first two years in Oxford, recalls, "We saw him driving an SUV and looking so nonintense, and we'd say, 'Eli, do you even care about football?' I mean, we understood his brother had just signed a $100 million contract and his father had deep pockets, but we thought, A lot of people would kill to be in your position, and look how you're approaching this. It was obvious why they called him Big Easy."
As it turns out,Big Easy and the Big Apple may be an ideal fit. Eli's even-keeled demeanor serves him well in a city of tabloid-fueled fan overreaction and on a team with animated and headstrong standouts such as tight end Jeremy Shockey, wideout Plaxico Burress and halfback Tiki Barber. After replacing Kurt Warner midway through his rookie season in 2004, Manning remained unruffled even as defenses exploited his inexperience. Then in Week 3 of last season, in a spirited Sunday-night road game against the San Diego Chargers--the team that had picked Manning at No. 1 before he forced a draft-day trade to the Giants--he stepped into a stadium where bitter fans were giving new meaning to the phrase hangten. Recalls Giants center Shaun O'Hara, "We all thought, If Eli's going to crack under pressure, this is going to be the game. Instead, he blew us away."
Manning kept his poise and played well in a 45--23 loss, setting the stage for a seven-game stretch in which his clutch play yielded five wins. But over New York's final six games--including the playoff defeat, in which he admits forcing some second-half throws--Manning had 10 interceptions and only four touchdown passes; he wound up with a 52.8 completion percentage for the regular season.
Manning believes he can connect on 60% this season by improving his footwork and more effectively using his outlet receivers. In his defense, he has taken on more than any other young NFL quarterback of recent vintage not named Manning. If the Steelers' handling of Ben Roethlisberger during his first two seasons represented one extreme—keep it simple, avoid big mistakes and when in doubt check the plays scribbled on your wristband--Giants coach Tom Coughlin took the opposite approach. In addition to running a sophisticated attack, Manning even points out the middle linebacker (the key to an offense's orientation) and makes pass-protection calls at the line of scrimmage, responsibilities that many teams assign to the center.
Coughlin thinks that Manning is smart enough to handle those tasks, and that the long-term dividends will offset any short-term hiccups. But, at times, Manning has appeared overloaded. Says one offensive player who was with New York in '05,"They have him thinking so much at the line, I don't even know how he gets through his reads. How can you not play stiff?"
David Bergman for Sports Illustrated
The answer, the Giants hope, lies in the Manning genes: Peyton doesn't play stiff, so ultimately Eli won't either. As much as Eli likes to poke fun at his big brother's seriousness, down to a spot-on imitation of Peyton's gesticulations at the line of scrimmage, there's no doubting who his role model is. Fullback Jim Finn, who spent his first three years with the Colts before joining New York in 2003, remembers one Indy practice that Eli, during a break between semesters at Ole Miss, watched from atop the portable tower used for videotaping. "I don't think the coaches or anyone else knew he was there," Finn says. "He was up there 30 minutes before practice started,just watching everything Peyton did." (Eli's admiration for his older brother extends to off-the-field endeavors, such as the PeyBack Foundation's Hurricane Katrina relief effort last September, when the two Mannings passed out supplies at shelters in Baton Rouge.)
After last season,however, with the NFL's scheduling formula having ensured that their teams would meet in 2006, the flow of football information between them dried up."Before, I would study him on film and ask him questions about what he saw and compare notes about other defenses," Eli says. "That's all stopped." Over the summer Peyton and Eli spent a weekend playing golf with their father outside New York City. At dinner one night in Manhattan, Archie asked about LaVar Arrington, the Giants' newly acquired linebacker. "He's a good guy," Eli answered, "and he's going to give us some big rushes. I think we'll use him.... " Eli stopped; Peyton had pulled out a Sharpie and was pretending to take notes on a napkin. All three men cracked up. "The next night we were at a friend's house in the Hamptons," Archie says,"and the NFL Network was showing a Chiefs-Giants game from last year. The guys in the Giants' secondary were miked, and on the sideline they were talking strategy and calling out specific numbers. All of a sudden the TV went off, and Eli was standing there with the remote, half-smiling."
If this sibling rivalry must play out in our living rooms, so be it--but no football game, even one as epic as Sunday's, is going to alter the Manning family fabric. Prickly P and Easy E may have different leadership styles, but neither approach is inherently superior, and only the odds makers will be guilty of favoritism.
Late last spring Archie and Peyton met in Las Vegas for a shared corporate speaking engagement,entertaining questions from the audience as part of the program. A woman took the microphone and became tongue-tied while addressing Archie. Finally she blurted out, "Who do you like best, Peyton or Eli?"
A hush fell over the room. "Actually," Archie replied, "Olivia and I like Cooper better than both of them, because he's got the grandchildren."
In a more serious moment Archie and Olivia speak glowingly of all three boys, of how they have worked hard to become successful and at the same time developed into compassionate men. They take pride in the way that Peyton has supported and advised Eli. Peyton's guidance has been subtle, which is not his nature.Whether trying to vault his team to an NFL championship or ascend a stranger's staircase--and, for the record, he never did make it to the second story of his old house--Peyton is not someone who'll go down without a fight.
Nor, for that matter, will Eli. Perhaps, in his own inconspicuous way, he'll even figure out a way to get to the top first.


Moving from a house or other premise can prove to be a difficult affair for most people, especially those who do not have a way to move on their own. The moving companies in New York are available for these people as they make the process less nerve-wracking by moving all items safely to their new home without damage.
The number of such companies has increased in the area and this is good news for potential customers as it means that the service fees have been reduced as the competition increases. It is important to ensure that you get the right company for the job if you are to get the kind of service you expect at fair and reasonable prices. There are a few measures you can take to ensure that the service you get is indeed what you expected to get.
When searching for movers in New York, be aware of the fact that the fees are based on an hourly basis. This simply means that you will pay the movers by the number of hours it takes to make the move. If the move covers a long distance, then the charges are rated in terms of the weight. Having this in mind will help you in determining whether the fees charged for the services are reasonable or not. The cost also depends on the kind of items that need to be moved as certain items will require a different kind of car or truck to move them to your new destination.
A good company should have a professional staff which knows how to handle your items and also how to arrange them to ensure that nothing gets damaged on the way to the new destination. It should also be very familiar with the New York area to get to the destination using the easiest route, saving time in the process.
Always make a point of doing a background check on the reputation of the company. This will help you in gauging the services depending on what you expect during the move. The company you choose to go for should have good customer care meaning you should feel important by the way it handles you before and during the move. The very first encounter with the company representatives will give you heads up whether it is the best company to get the services from depending on how you are handled.

Coca-Cola has unveiled an uplifting new film touting "Choose Happiness", part of the company's effort to streamline messaging across all its brands.
In the first week of March, Coca-Cola became the master brand for classic Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Coke Life under a new one-brand strategy. The brand has unveiled a new UK campaign as it makes the first step towards its 'One Brand' strategy; in which the packaging and advertising of its four product variants.
The film, created by Ogilvy & Mather Amsterdam, features energetic, quick-cut scenes of young people embracing life to its fullest, but it's the track, "What Are You Waiting For?" that gives it its real, motivating verve.
The spot and its extended version all subtly feature Coke bottles of every stripe among gaggles of people living the good life.
The ad features an array of people, from glamorous types to misfits, from animals to newborn babies, with a cast incuding a lone Hell's Angel, a couple fighting, a female protester whacking a policeman's riot shield, a man running through a wheat field and people raving in the woods while holding their bottles of Coke aloft.
Rapper and producer HT provides the rousing soundtrack to a new epic ad. For now that message is "Choose Happiness" featuring Amsterdam-based artist/producer HT rapping about what it takes to be happy.
The spots captures the rich variety of life, albeit with even the combative events depicted shot through with on-brand glister, and asks viewers to "Choose Happiness". The new theme, "Choose Happiness", continues Coke's tradition of casting itself as synonymous with joy. But it takes a more aggressive tone than usual.
Not only can you be happy, you should be happy, right now, and all you have to do is reach out and grab it.
The message of "Choose Happiness" is that you should choose among the red, green, black and white versions of its product. All four Coke brands are featured in the product shot in the ad.

I have focused on my hair since I was a young girl. "Perfect hair" no matter the style. My Mom started my sister and I off, with a focus on hair at a young age. I used to be in tears, with Mom trying to contort my hair into perfect hair with elastics and barrettes and on and on to go to school. My memories of going to Sunday School at Church, were of being in tears before we left the house, because it hurt, getting my hair pulled into pigtails or ponytails, or whatever the hair of the week my Mom had chosen for me was to be.
Then add to that, the fact that I have spent thousands of dollars over an adult lifetime, getting cool and funky or classy hairdos, full of colour and style. "Good" hair, gave me confidence. It just did. My confidence went down, when my hair was not "good" in my eyes. There were times that I could not afford to get my hair done regularly. It did not look "good" or cool or funky sometimes. That was upsetting … to not afford the hair I thought I wanted and needed, to be confident in the world.
I am sharing this thinking to let you know, that having had breast cancer and being BALD, has been very freeing. I have loved being bald. I knew right away that it did not frighten me. And that was also a choice to not be afraid or upset. I was warned in advanced by the oncologist that I would lose my hair, and when I would lose it, so I was prepared. The process of losing my hair was fascinating, as were the various stages.
BALD has given me freedom from thinking about hairdos and what colour or what cut.
BALD has given me freedom from looking in the mirror to see if my hair was right, from front and from back in a rear view mirror. Yep.
BALD has given me freedom from paying for shampoos and conditioners and hairdressers and hair salons and hair products. Freedom.
BALD has meant I do not need a comb or a brush. Ha. It has meant getting out of the shower or tub, towel dry my scalp, and off I can go, out into the world.
I have not been one to walk around the public world displaying the "bald is beautiful" look … It was not what I wanted to do.
I have worn caps and toques and all of the many gifts that some of you have sent me, head coverings.
I chose to not expand that feeling of BALD freedom into the public world, over these many months because people can be mean and they stare. I wanted to protect my psyche, my vulnerable self, while I was not well, and am recovering.
My BALD head, has been bared in the privacy of home, for me.
PLUS, I love all my funky hats! It is a new form of art I have discovered, and I think I will always collect hats now. I LOVE wearing hats. This is new.

Sunday's state-by-state reports are the latest attempt by the Obama administration to pressure Republican leaders in Congress.
WASHINGTON – Maine stands to lose more than $5 million in education funding as well as millions more for environmental programs, defense programs and services for the elderly under budget cuts due to start this week, according to the White House.
In another attempt to ratchet up public pressure on Congress, the White House on Sunday released state-by-state estimates of how defense and domestic programs would be affected under the $85 billion "sequester" cuts that begin Friday.
Democratic and Republican leaders still appear far apart on how to avert the across-the-board spending reductions.
In Maine as in most states, the defense industry would be hit hard, because 50 percent of the overall cuts will be levied on the Department of Defense.
The White House estimated that 22 days of unpaid furloughs for roughly 7,000 civilian defense employees in Maine would reduce payroll by $41.7 million.
Many of those furloughed employees would be from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, which has roughly 4,700 civilian workers from Maine and New Hampshire. Impacts on Bath Iron Works' 5,000 employees would be less immediate; however, officials there are concerned that budget uncertainty could cause the Navy to delay contracts for new destroyers.
• Loss of $2.7 million in primary and secondary education funding, putting at risk 40 teachers and teacher's aides while cutting services to 2,000 students and 20 schools.
• $2.6 million less for 30 teachers and staff who work with children with disabilities.
• Elimination of funding for about 300 Head Start students.
• More than 100 lower-income college students will lose tuition assistance or work-study jobs.
The White House also estimated that 740 fewer children would receive vaccinations due to the loss of $51,000 in federal funding, while programs that provide meals to seniors would lose $197,000. Other health care programs for substance abuse and HIV testing would lose nearly $400,000, while environmental protection and wildlife programs would lose $1.9 million.
Sunday's state-by-state reports were the latest attempt by the Obama administration to pressure Republican leaders in Congress into either delaying the cuts or accepting a plan that would mix spending reductions with elimination of tax exemptions for corporations and wealthy individuals. Republicans are insisting that the savings come from spending cuts, including from Medicare and other entitlement programs.
New, dire-sounding predictions have come out of the White House almost daily and administration officials suggested Sunday that additional agencies will release new details as the week progresses.
On Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration announced that Bangor International Airport and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport were among 60 facilities nationwide that could lose overnight staffing in their air traffic control towers.
Under such a scenario, coverage would bump to air traffic controllers in the regional center in Boston. However, the changes could affect commercial airlines' willingness to schedule late-night or early-morning flights into and out of the airports.
Acadia National Park, meanwhile, is preparing plans for a $390,000 cut, the park's deputy superintendent said Friday. That could mean shortening the season that the visitor center is open, eliminating an air and water quality specialist and fewer interpretive programs for the park, which gets about 2.5 million visitors annually.
Members of Maine's congressional delegation — which consists of two Democrats, a Republican and an independent — have been urging Congress and the president to take action.
"These kind of arbitrary and extreme cuts are going to be bad for Maine families and bad for the economy and it's why I voted against the bill that created them in the first place," U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-1st District, said a statement Sunday night.
Pingree is married to S. Donald Sussman, the majority share owner of MaineToday Media, which publishes the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins and independent Sen. Angus King, meanwhile, visited Bath Iron Works and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard last week to call attention to their concerns over impacts on Maine's shipbuilding industry.

GOP lawmakers push to protect workers who decline COVID vaccines
Bill would allow fired unvaccinated workers to receive unemployment benefits
Published February 17, 2022 by Katharine DeRosa | Capital News Service

RICHMOND, Va. – Lawmakers narrowly passed a bill this month that would allow people fired for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine to receive unemployment benefits if no other misconduct took place.
The measure advanced from the House of Delegates on a 51-48 party line vote and was assigned to a Senate committee on Feb. 10.
The bill was one of several introduced by Republicans this session to protect and defend workers who do not want to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Del. Kathy J. Byron, R-Forest, introduced House Bill 1201 to protect the unvaccinated from potential discrimination. The bill adds a line to the current unemployment misconduct law stating refusal to receive a COVID-19 vaccine does not hinder someone from obtaining unemployment benefits.
Byron said her bill is not an endorsement for or against the vaccine. She is a proponent of the COVID-19 vaccine but said vaccination is a personal choice.
"There are many reasons why people have declined to take it, due to religious reasons and other reasons," Byron said in a February subcommittee meeting.
The bill preserves a worker's right to make decisions about their own health, Byron said. However, she said the legislation doesn't prevent employers from requiring employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
"They are not getting purposely fired so they can go home and collect unemployment," Byron said. "We need to make sure they have the ability to have benefits until they find another position."
There is currently no explicit ruling as to whether refusing a COVID-19 vaccine without reason qualifies as misconduct, according to Norfolk-based employment lawyer John M. Bredehoft. Reasons to refuse the vaccine include medical injury, disability, or a "sincere religious objection," he said.
"Knowing what the rule is has a definite value independent of what the rule would be," Bredehoft said.
Generally, if someone gets fired, they get unemployment benefits and if they quit, they don't receive the benefits, Bredehoft said. However, the bill isn't clear enough, Bredehoft said.
"Let's be clear. Nobody gets fired for refusal to get vaccinated – period," Bredehoft said. "People get fired for refusal to be vaccinated when the company has a policy requiring them to be vaccinated."
Nicole Riley, deputy secretary of labor for Gov. Glenn Youngkin, spoke at the subcommittee meeting. She said the governor's administration supports the bill.
Virginians have received over 15 million doses of various COVID-19 vaccines, and 71% of the population is fully vaccinated, according to the Virginia Department of Health. Over 80% of the adult population 18 and up is fully vaccinated. A person is considered fully vaccinated by the VDH when they received one dose of a single dose vaccine and both doses of a two dose vaccine.
Del. Don L. Scott, D-Portsmouth, was the only person to question Byron during the subcommittee meeting. No delegates asked questions during subsequent meetings. Scott confirmed with Byron that Youngkin's administration supports giving unemployment benefits to those who were fired for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Senate Commerce and Labor committee expected to read the bill meets on Mondays. The bill is one of approximately 70 House measures waiting for the committee's action.
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to Nicole Riley as the state director of the National Federation of Independent Businesses. She is now the deputy secretary of labor for Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Capital News Service regrets the error.

after clicking browse file button I wil get into file manger of my device. If I have not selected any files from storage and press back  button of my device it will come to my application then again if I click on my browse file button then it will not open file browser.Then I am getting exception System.Invalid.Operation Exception.I think browsing a files is not async method so its still in progress

A: PickFile() is an awaitable Task. It starts an asynchronous operation that returns an instance of Plugin.FilePicker.Abstractions.FileData or null if no file is selected.
You should await the task:

Veronica este un personaj biblic legendar. Numele este derivat din cel macedonean Berenike ("purtătoarea victoriei"), cu varianta Beronike. Ea ar fi acea femeie care i-a oferit lui Isus pe "drumul crucii" (Via Dolorosa) din Ierusalim un ștergar (sau o năframă) pentru a-și șterge fața scăldată în sudoare. Potrivit tradiției, chipul lui Isus s-ar fi întipărit pe acest ștergar.

Într-o etimologie populară târzie, numele legendarei Berenike sau Beronike, în forma sa latinizată Veronica, este descris ca fiind format din două cuvinte latinești: vera, adevărat, și icon, derivat din grecescul eikon, chip, din care rezultă chipul adevărat.

Ștergarul Sf. Veronica a apărut în lume multe secole după evenimentul răstignirii lui Isus, constituind vreme îndelungată cea mai prețioasă relicvă a lumii creștine. În prezent este păstrat într-un trezor bine păzit în Domul San Pietro din Vatican, construit în anul 1506.

OPNA CALENDAR
Forty Local Nonprofits Join Fund Raising Forces in Launch of OPNA
November 8, 2018 November 23, 2018
by Olympic View Community Foundation
This November 27th more than 40 local nonprofits, united as the Olympic Peninsula Nonprofit Alliance (OPNA), will fundraise together for one day marking the first local #ClallamGives on #GivingTuesday 2018. Celebrated nationally each year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, #GivingTuesday kicks off the local holiday giving season by inspiring people to collaborate and give back.
The year-end giving season can be the lifeblood for many nonprofit organizations. People are generally in a giving mood this time of year. With nearly one third (31%) of all annual charitable contributions occurring in the final month of the year – and 12% on the last three days of the year – it's imperative for nonprofits to make the most of this peak giving season. This is especially true since 50% of nonprofits receive a majority of their annual budget from October through December each year!
In addition to individual donations, local business donors are being recruited for matching gifts that challenge and inspire others to give, so that every donation made to #ClallamGives on #GivingTuesday in qualifies for a match.
Harnessing the Power of a Generous Community
"Our community has a reputation for people coming to the table for the common good. We're all in this together, working to build a brighter future, and a stronger Clallam County," said Leslie Lauren, Executive Director of Olympic View Community Foundation. Our Alliance hopes to harness the power of our generous community to give back in smarter ways to the causes that matter and help create an even better place to live. We're inspired by the way the #GivingTuesday movement demonstrates how every act of generosity counts and how much more it means when we give together.
"We're incredibly inspired by the way the #GivingTuesday embraces this worldwide movement for philanthropy," said Sara Nicholls, Administrative Director of the Sequim Free Clinic.
"As we prepare for November 27, we're energized and encouraged by the community's generosity. The levels of creativity, effort and the quality of the new ideas people have contributed and shared are phenomenal." said Melissa Williams, Executive Director of Feiro Marine Life Center.
Encouraging Philanthropy and Celebrating Generosity
Founded in 2012, #GivingTuesday is now a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. #GivingTuesday has grown each year as more organizations capitalize on the power of collective giving fueled by this international day of philanthropy. Last year, over $300 million was raised nationally online—a number that's expected to increase again this year.

This week's "Make It Monday Challenge" for Papertrey Ink is to use fun foam! Did you know this stuff cuts like butter with the PTI dies in your Cuttlebug? I happened to have some in my classroom, so I was ready for the challenge.
For my card, I used the Beautiful Blooms II #1 Die Collection. I first cut the largest bloom out of the fun foam and adhered it to an acrylic block. I was then able to use this as a stamp to make white "flower clouds" on my background. For my flowers, I cut the mid-size bloom out of the foam and layered it with the smallest size bloom cut out of felt. A button and twine on top of that finished it off. For the flower stems and leaves, I used the Flower Fusion #1 Stamp Set. The grass is made from my Martha Stewart Icicle Punch.
8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Dark Chocolate Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4"
This is so cute and fun! I love that you mixed foam and felt in your flowers - so much texture!
Hi Katie, such a beautiful card. Please stop by my blog, I have an award for you.
This is just incredible! I love the colors, the details and I LOVE the sentiment! I love when I can use mine too!


WhatsApp has been trying their hands on in improving and upgrading its Android Beta App since the time of its release. They have already begun testing out new features. According to the reports, the two are newly introduced Consecutive Voice call and Group call Shortcut Feature. The UI improvement made for the group call enables the user to have calls with multiple people in the group. While the second added feature is the Voice Message feature that allows the Beta users to play multiple voice messages consecutively.
These new features though aren't made available to every Beta Tester. But the users with a version of the App being 2.18.362 and 2.18.363 would be able to testify and use the feature in the best possible way thereafter without any further complications.
From now onwards, WhatsApp would be rolling out its newest addition to its Android iOS beta version 2.18.363 users. They would be getting a shortcut button to make calls within a group. All one needs to do is, tap on the button and the user will be provided with the list of all the members present in the group from which one can select to either go for a voice call or video call with the members.
The company though has imposed limitations in terms of the number of participants at once for the call. One can only add three more participants for a group call. If you tend to add more members, WhatsApp would send you can alert to terminate the request.
The second feature that the company has brought to introduce it to the users would be the voice messages, according to the reports by WAbetaInfo. The feature that has been brought to the Android Beta version, works in a way where WhatsApp detects the multiple voice messages sent by the user.
The user needs to press the play button to any of the voice message, regards to which WhatsApp will automatically play the other messages sequentially thereafter.
WhatsApp has been testing out certain new features as well such as Picture-in-picture mode, private mode, and dark mode. All the features can be tried out on the WhatsApp Beta App that allows early access to all its testers. However, the beta app has known for having bugs and issues. And WhatsApp is constantly working on it to provide a better experience.


Cool Hero is a younger half-sister to Azzcool and is similarly blessed with an abundance of talent. On debut Cool Hero was a resounding winner of the 2014 SAJC Dominant 2YO Maiden Plate over 1000 metres at Morphettville Parks on the 16th of July, 2014. Her subsequent run at Moonee Valley on the 2nd of August produced a luckless 3rd placing - with all the racing pundits putting her into their respective black books as a coming winner after she found the line better than her rivals after suffering a wide journey, struggling to negotiate the Moonee Valley turn at her first try, then storming home from well back over the short course.
We believe she is capable of winning multiple metropolitan races in the future.

Although Samsung's cheapest Android is not available with any contract in the US yet, for those countries who have access to this mobile phone, it may be wise to invest on this as it seems that the rumors that it will be getting an Android 2.0 update is true, based on the leaked ROMS posted at Samsung Firmwares.
Of course, those who have the Samsung Galaxy Portal in the UK, you have to wait for the official T-Mobile update. But it's nice to know that Samsung is supporting this phone, unlike their previous Samsung Galaxy model which seems to be stuck in Android 1.6.


If they have a stateful IPv6 firewall (which they should and which most firewall vendors support), they already have what they need to prevent their internal systems from being accessible from the outside.  If you are an enterprise and you don't have a stateful firewall, you are in trouble from a security standpoint whether you run v4 or v6.  If you cannot configure a stateful firewall to block connections being initiated from outside, you are not qualified to be working with the firewall, v4 or v6 does not matter.  If someone is relying on NAT in case their firewall is misconfigured, they have major issues with security.
In the home, I am not sure what the major issue is there either.  How many CPE devices have you seen that do not implement basic firewall functionality?  People may not use them correctly but that is no more an issue with v6 than it is with v4.  Most CPE even comes out of the box blocking inbound connections by default.
>>Don't disagree with you there.
>>I'm saying many an enterprise (small and large) as well as homes operate this way. There is a lot of unlearning to do.
>>The whole issue is that a number of enterprises "may" only feel safe if IPv6 comes with NAT66, probably on top (or not on top) of a stateful IPv6 firewall.
>>We need to think about how to re-train the enterprise, if we don't want to repeat the erasure of the end-to-end model, second time around.

This application **simulates ATM** (which is our GUI) for your bank account. **In the app you have to first add some accounts and only then "simulate the whole ATM". Otherwise it wont work.**

1.  **Create a new account (under menu file)**. Save it and then you can insert card and doing etc.
2.  You can withdraw your money from the bank account. **You can do so in 2 ways**. Either you choose one of a given amounts of money. Or you can insert your own amount which you want to take out.

Application is based on 2 exercises I have done during my 2. semester at the university. All of them are here, [on github](https://github.com/Johnmalc/Homeworks2), and one of them is this [one](https://github.com/Johnmalc/Homeworks2/tree/master/Aufgabe1) and another one is [here](https://github.com/Johnmalc/Homeworks2/tree/master/Aufgabe13). The main logic is taken from [here](https://github.com/Johnmalc/Homeworks2/tree/master/Aufgabe13) (not GUI/Vars/Main.java).

This is how the app looks something like (based on the FXML design; subjected to change) this:

Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your lovely compliment!! From one Canadian to another, I can tell you that it's hot hot HOT in Central Florida for this cold-weather gal in July and August. Historically, the average temperature for both months is relatively similar: around 92 degrees Fahrenheit. An important thing to note is that the crowds typically start to decrease after the second week of August. If you have to pick between July and August for your family's upcoming visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, I would recommend visiting in late August.
The Disney Dining Plan can be a great value, especially if it's your first time staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. My recommendation would be to choose the "standard" Disney Dining Plan because it gives you the best variety of table-service and counter-service dining experiences. My family loves experiencing table-service restaurants, so the Quick-Service Dining Plan isn't a great fit for us. And, personally, I find that the Deluxe Dining Plan is overkill for my family (way too much food!) but some people absolutely love the increased choice and flexibility it gives them.
I hope I've helped you with some of your choices. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to come back and see us again!

Appropriation or Appreciation?
I'm a black immigrant African woman living the United States. Thus, I fall in the minority group, which also means I claim a culture that is unique and celebrated across the globe. When people of different cultural backgrounds adopt styles (usually outward expressions through fashion) original to my culture, it usually sparks discussions on the difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation. While appreciation suggests a genuine respect for the borrowed traits of the minority culture, accusations of appropriation surface when members of said minority perceive that such traits are unjustly presented as a staple of the dominant culture, or in disrespectful disregard of its origins.
There have been countless instances of white celebrities sporting hairstyles or fashion choices generally known to be staples of African culture. A recent example is Kim Kardashian's "Bo Derek" braids situation. Other examples include Kylie Jenner's lip augmentation frenzy, amid countless other instances. And it's not just with African culture. The Asian prom dress on a white girl also springs to mind.
Those who argue appropriation are usually of the minority group, and argue that adopting these cultural traits constitutes a blatant disregard and/or disrespect for their origins. Others say there is usually no credit given to the pioneers of such styles, or like in the case of "Bo Derek" braids, credit is given where it isn't due.
People copy what celebrities do. As such, when celebrities make such fashion choices knowingly or unknowingly presenting them as original creations, trend followers copy theses choices. As a result pop culture associates these trends with the celebrities who made them popular, instead of their cultures of origin, thus shifting the focus once again, a way from the minority group. Case in point; it is widely presumed that the Kardashians "started" the big booty and big lips trend. However, both those physical traits are staple features of African women's natural physiques, traits which were ridiculed in the past.
While many are staunch critics of cultural appropriation, there are others who see it the other way. Personally, I don't imagine that when Katy Perry donned her Asian geisha attire at the 2013 American Music Awards, she was thinking "I hope I piss off all the Asians". I also don't think Beyoncé hoped to alienate her Indian fanbase with her Coldplay collaboration. In an article for Odyssey, Kiana Cozier states; "while there needs to be an intimate and exclusive space within cultures, there must also be a warm and welcoming space for others to learn about other cultures."
The point is this; know the obvious cultural no-nos; ie blackface, or "acting like" a culture, Cozier says. But also know when such representations are harmless. This then begs the question, has popular society become too sensitive? In my book, we have with regards to this particular issue. As long as credit is given where it's due and people aren't ignorant about the fashion choices they make, I see no issue with it. Frankly, I'm proud, because in the case of African adaptations, I'd like to see the world adopt African culture in a genuine way.
There's no clear demarcation. Where do you draw the line? For this reason, each individual is entitled to their reactions of acclamation or dismay when such things happen. There's no right or wrong answer.

Bonjour Tristesse (1958)
It's getting out of control. I just wish I were a lot older or a lot younger.
Author Pat Kirkham discusses the opening titles for Bonjour Tristesse, from her authoritative book Saul Bass: A Life in Film and Design.
The symbol is a haunting face created from a few brushstrokes. Here the poignant sadness embodied in the title of the film is expressed as a haiku-like eye and tear. The Madonna-like symbol represents both women in general and a specific young woman, Cecile (played by Jean Seberg).
The lyrical title sequence exquisitely captures the elusive delicacy as well was the sadness that lies at the heart of the film. It previews the film's narrative, from the lost innocence of adolescence to the sadness that knowledge and adulthood bring to the young woman.

Thank you for the Opinion by Supervisor Lawson (July 11 Prince William Times) on the ADAMS mosque and Land-Use provisions in the Rural Crescent. We hope your readers would also like some objective information about this 'septic vs sewer' issue at the heart of this ADAMS Application.
The approval of both Victory Crossing and Fireside Churches (and many others that were allowed County approval for sewer connection in the Crescent) is actually a correct precedent. Since St Katherine Drexel Parish and School never requested connection to public sewer, it was consequently never considered by County staff or the Board of County Supervisors and never denied, and cannot therefore be a precedent. As the Board admitted, every church application in the Rural Crescent that requested sewer connection has been approved; it is consequently likely any St Katherine's request would also have been approved. ADAMS therefore had no reason to believe its application would not be similarly approved, as all these other churches had been. The 8-0 approval of the mosque application and the 5-3 vote approving the public sewer confirms ADAMS' reasonable expectation of this approval.
As we demonstrated time and again, ADAMS repeatedly sought neighborhood input and made substantial efforts to adapt its designs to accommodate neighbourhood input.
When neighbours opposed the entry/exit to be from Schaeffer Lane, as the Country initially preferred, ADAMS worked with the County to change its plan and have all access into the site via Vint Hill Rd.
When concerns arose over the potential for overflow parking, the design was changed to allow more parking spaces on the property to eliminate any potential need for offsite parking.
When concerns arose on preserving the rural character and "look" for the property, ADAMS ensured the building height would be one story only (plus a very discreet dome well below height standards to preserve that rural character), would keep the maximum number of existing trees and shrubs, and would incorporate berms along the Vint Hill Road frontage to provide additionally screening and the view from any vehicles driving past.
None of these accommodations were required. However, the desire to be a good neighbour far outweighed any inconvenience and cost to ADAMS that might accompany those changes. That same desire then motivated the decision to seek sewer, and the many "extenuating circumstances" of sewer connection decided ADAMS to seek that approval.
In the Planning Commission meeting some months ago, Commissioner Alex Vanegas offered perhaps the definitive argument for allowing sewer. As Chair of the Prince William County Service Authority, which oversees the Service Authority's comprehensive county-wide water and sewer system serving over 85,000 accounts for a population of over 250,000, Vanegas developed a unique professional expertise on these issues. As he noted, it is not a question of "IF" a septic system will fail, but rather "WHEN" it will fail! Vanegas also made clear that a septic system failure for an institution like ADAMS could be catastrophic for the entire neighborhood, as it would affect the groundwater supply for any neighbours on well water, thereby impacting every residence there.
It is apparently already well-known that the soils in this part of the Rural Crescent and County are not highly conducive to septic systems. ADAMS' team provided a map from the Prince William County Service Authority that showed properties in the Nokesville area that are connected to sewer. Many properties shown on this map were connected to sewer because the soils were not conducive to septic systems and thus a failure of the septic system occurred. This proves beyond any doubt that septic failure is obviously not an anomaly, but rather a significant issue in the Rural Crescent already.
Moreover, the need for both a regular and reserve septic field on the property would necessitate cutting down many more trees, and reduce the tree save areas on the site. ADAMS' current plan is over 70% open space with approximately 44% of the site being undisturbed. If septic were required, open space and save areas would be greatly reduced. As our mutual goal is to preserve the rural character of the Crescent, it is a major contradiction to require eliminating substantially more trees from any property.
If this were a private residence for a single family of 5 or even 10 persons, septic should be acceptable. But for an institution that attracts some 200 persons every Friday afternoon, and can connect to existing sewer lines without disrupting any neighbours, the only environmentally safe course is sewer. In fact, the Board in the decision for Victory's Crossing approval acknowledged that the on-site septic systems are ill-suited for church uses, which have erratic sewage systems uses. To say that allowing sewer connection will destroy the Rural Crescent is countered by the fact that so many properties, particularly institutions, have already been granted sewer, and yet the Rural Crescent still thrives.
ADAMS has already made clear its desire to work with our neighbours and adjust our plans to help meet any reasonable concerns. But this is a two-way street. There is simply no sound reason to oppose the sewer. We therefore urge our neighbours to consider these facts and then help us to together find ways to make this environmentally safe property meet the needs and objectives of us all, without ignoring those facts. Let us work together without fear, and with maximum goodwill, for all PWC residents!
Religious freedom is a constitutional protection that I value for all Americans.
On Friday Jul 7, 2017, members of AIA, ADAMS and Dar al Noor, and many hundreds of others from across Northern Virginia attended funeral services in Manassas for Suzanne Miller, wife of VA Delegate Jackson Miller. Jackson has represented the 50th District, encompassing Manassas and surrounding area, in the Virginia House of Delegates since 2006, and is currently the Majority Whip. Suzanne, 45, succumbed after a long battle with cancer. Jackson is well respected on both sides of the aisle, and his House and Senate colleagues came out in force to support him at the funeral services.
But even more important for the AIA community, Jackson Miller has been a steadfast friend of not only Dar al Noor and its members, but of ADAMS and the entire VA Muslim community. Jackson once told me his mother worked with students from the Middle East studying at US Colleges and Universities. As a result, he had lots of contact with young Muslims, and was proud to call many his friends. He renewed those ties in all dealings with the Muslim Community in both PWC and Fairfax, and was a frequent visitor and guest at mosques in the region. We were all proud to have Jackson as our friend and supporter.
This was particularly key in 2012, when the House was considering a bill to prohibit application of any foreign Law for any citizens (individual or corporate) of Virginia. ADAMS and Dar al Noor had developed a coalition of support from the American Jewish Committee, B'nai Brith, the Interfaith Council of Virginia, other Christian churches and faith groups, and from the Northern VA Technology Council, the VA Chamber of Commerce, Smithfield Ham Corporation, and others who realize this Bill would impose undue burdens on many Virginians with any commercial or personal ties overseas.
In the Subcommittee Hearing, Delegate Miller took the lead, posing insightful and forceful questions to the Bill's sponsor to ascertain the point of this proposed Bill. When the Sponsor was unable to offer convincing answers, Jackson pressed home, noting that any proposed legislation is usually to deal with specific problems or problematic issues; however, he could see no problem whatsoever that this Bill would resolve. If fact, he pointed out this entire effort seemed like "a solution in search of a problem".
Jackson's questioning was a tipping point, and other Delegates also saw the obvious lack of benefits and potentially negative consequences. The Committee chair was even inspired to note the overseas adoption of his own children would become illegal in Virginia under the terms of this new Bill. The opposition of the various groups in the Coalition was powerful, but Jackson's brave opposition was critical in sowing doubt among his House colleagues, to therefore require another hearing, where Jackson's opposition was instrumental in the vote to return the Bill to its author for re-consideration.
Many other state legislatures have passed similar laws without the questioning or spirited opposition of individual legislators like Jackson. His very courageous public stance encouraged many other Delegates in his own Party to not only oppose that Bill in 2012, but to ensure it would not be raised in subsequent General Assembly sessions. Prior to that 2012 Session, Jackson had had very little contact with the Muslim Community in PWC, or any personal relationship with our leaders. Yet, he did what was right, and became a key leader in the fight to ensure against such discrimination. For all this, as well as his continued support and open friendship since then, AIA 2020 wants to show our appreciation and gratitude, and most important, our sincere condolence on the passing of his wife.
We therefore ask you not only to Thank Delegate Miller by LIKING this page, but to send your own message of condolence to Jackson's family on the passing of his beloved wife and their beloved mother.
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. My Family and I were in a 4th of July Parade in Purcellville, VA. My Boys were a part of the Boy Scouts of America Honor Guard with the US Flag and we were a part of the Purcellville Rotary Club Float.
I remind all of us to take a moment on The 4th of July to remember Independence Day and what it means – Freedom, Democracy, Hope. On this special day we thank our Lord, Who created all people equal and for granting us with exceptional liberty in our beloved country, the United States of America. Please say a Prayer and Thank God for the Blessings we have in this Great Land of America. Let us recommit ourselves to service to our Country. Let us recommit to more Community Service, Interfaith Collaboration, and Civic Engagement.
In 1492, Columbus had two captains of Muslim origin during his first voyage, one named Martin Alonso Pinzon the captain of the Pinta, and his brother Vicente Yanex Pinzon the captain of the Nina. They were wealthy expert ship outfitters who helped organize Columbus' expedition and repaired the flagship Santa Maria. The Pinzon family was related to Abuzayan Muhammad III, the Moroccan Sultan of the Marinid Dynasty (1196-1465).
Approximately, 30% of Enslaved Africans brought to America during the Slave trade were of Muslim background. We all know about the famous story of Kunta Kinte in Alex's Haley book Roots. In 1767, Kunta Kinte was captured and enslaved. Kunta Kinte was a Muslim born in 1750, in the village of Juffure in Gambia. He was shipped to Annapolis, Maryland on the ship Lord Ligonier and sold to a Virginia planter. Kunta Kinte fought hard to hold on to his Islamic heritage. Having learned the Qur'an as a boy Kunta scratched Arabic phrases in the dirt and tried to pray every day after he arrived in America.
Research has revealed that Muslim Veterans and people with a Islamic last name have participated in the different wars America has engaged in over the years. The United States Armed Services records confirm this fact, particularly during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. On June 17, 1775, Peter Salem (Saleem) born (1750?-1816) a former slave who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Peter Salem got awarded for fighting in the Revolutionary War, and he also fought at Lexington. Peter Salem and Salem (Saleem) Poor were honored for their bravery. History reports that a Jewish man told the people that the word was like "shalom" which means peace. The name for peace in Arabic is Salaam and Saleem in Arabic means one who is peaceful. Postage stamps have been made of Peter Salem and Salem Poor as American Revolutionary war heroes. From 1774-1783 there were at least six people with Islamic names who fought in the Revolutionary War as colonial soldiers. One of them was Yusuf Ben Ali, also known as Joseph (Benenhali) Benhaley, who fought with General Sumter in South Carolina. After the war, General Sumter took Joseph Benhaley with him inland to Stateburg where they settled down. Joseph Benhaley's name appeared in the 1790 census of Sumter County. Revolutionary records also show that there was a Bampett Muhamed who was a Corporal in the Revolutionary Army, from 1775-1783 in Virginia. Francis Saba was listed as a sergeant with the Continental Troops in roll 132, 1775-1783, and Joseph Saba was listed as a Fifer in the Continental Troops roll 132, 1775-1783.
1864-1865 Max Hassan was another Muslim from Africa who fought in the Civil War. His war record shows he came from Africa and worked as a porter in the service.
From the Foundations of America to over 7 Million American Muslims today, we all know many famous American Muslims like Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakim Olojuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Jermaine Jackson, Mos Def, Ahmad Rashad, Janet Jackson, Dr. Oz, Ice Cube, Ellen Burstyn, Aasif Mandvi, Dean Obeidallah, David Chappelle, Congressman Keith Ellison, and Congressman Andre Carson.
The roots of Muslims in America are represented in more than 500 names of places, villages, streets, towns, cities, lakes, rivers, etc . . . in the United States in which there name are derived from African, Islamic, and Arabic words. Places like Mecca, Indiana; Morocco, Indiana; Medina, NY; Medina, OH; Medina, TX; Toledo, OH; Mahomet, IL; Mahomet, Texas; Yarrowsburg, MD; Islamorada, FL, and Tallahassee, FL are found throughout America.
I am an American Muslim and I am proud to be an American.
STERLING, Virginia — Lt. Governor Ralph Northam visited the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Friday, June 2, along with other elected leaders to present a House Joint Resolution that honors the ADAMS Center's FAITH Social Services program. House Joint Resolution 969 was approved by the General Assembly this year after being introduced by Delegate Jennifer B. Boysko (D-86).
As Alliance for an Indivisible America 2020 Executive Director Robert Marro gave an opening introduction, ADAMS congregation members and the ADAMS Board gathered along with their community members and neighbors to watch FAITH Executive Director Ambreen Ahmad and FAITH President Tanveer Mirza receive the award on behalf of ADAMS.
"We watched an election in 2016 that was based on hatred, bigotry and discrimination. That's not what Virginia is all about. I came today to thank you for what you offer to our community and what you offer to this country," Northam said to the congregation as they gathered for the award ceremony.
Nokesville — Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted to approve the construction of a new ADAMS' mosque branch following a hearing held Tuesday evening June 27. The Mosque branch will be located in the Nokesville area of Prince William County.
The hearing held at the James McCoart Building in Woodbridge was attended by about 500 members of the ADAMS Greater and Western PWC congregation.
A smaller number of Gainesville and Nokesville residents, many members of the group Friends of the Rural Crescent Energized (FORCE) also attended the public hearing that night, most to oppose the new mosque. Opponent concerns focused on increased traffic and that allowing the mosque branch to connect to the public sewer would allow large corporations and institutions into the Rural Crescent as well.
Dozens of mosque supporters spoke to mitigate those concerns explaining that mosque traffic would only be for Friday mid-day prayers. Mosque visits in morning or evening rush hours are almost non-existent. The prayer services will be at noon time on Fridays only, well after morning rush hours, and will end before afternoon school release times. Traffic concerns are therefore irrelevant to the Application.
Proponents also addressed the sewer connection issue. They pointed out that the PWC Board had previously approved churches in the Rural Crescent to connect to public sewer. No application for a religious institution had ever been denied a request for sewer connection, and many of those churches had significantly larger buildings and worshipper capacity. ADAMS supporters presented a map of many plots in the Rural Crescent that had already been connected to public sewer over the past years, without destroying the character of the Crescent. One speaker noted how a PWC Planning Commissioner, a water treatment specialist by profession, had himself noted in the Planning Commission hearing that public sewer was the only environmentally reasonable and safe option for this property.
Two opposition members also noted the "true threat" of allowing groups with ties to terrorism and terrorist groups to have a facility in PWC. These allegations were roundly criticized even by members of the opposition to the mosque, though they were sadly emblematic of the many letters sent to ADAMS by individuals expressing similar views.
More than 175 persons signed up to speak, so the public hearing extended well through the night and into early morning. After the nearly 8 hours of public hearing and discussion, the PWC Board voted on two separate motions: the first to allow the mosque to be built there (which passed unanimously 8-0), and then to allow ADAMS to connect to public sewer (passed 5-3). Despite the late hour (3:30 AM), hundreds of supporters and many dozens of opponents remained in the Auditorium to witness the final result.
Supervisors Jeanine Lawson (R-Brentsville), Pete Candland (R-Gainesville) and Ruth Anderson (R-Occoquan) voting in favor of the mosque but against the connection to public sewer line. Board Chairman Corey Stewart (R) and Supervisors Maureen Caddigan (R-Potomac), Marty Nohe (R-Coles), Frank Principi (D-Woodbridge) and John Jenkins (D-Neabsco) voted in favor of the mosque and in favor of the sewer connection.
The application for this new ADAMS branch began about three years ago to accommodate the Muslim population in western PWC. Dar al-Noor (Hoadly Rd, Woodbridge) is currently the only mosque that can manage larger crowds in PWC.
This is not the first opposition to an ADAMS mosque in NoVA: the application to expand its Ashburn branch last year also faced considerable resistance, but was similarly resolved when the Loudoun Board of Supervisors voted to grant ADAMS the permit earlier this year.
The ADAMS leadership and the entire ADAMS – Greater Gainesville community applaud all the PWC Supervisors for their support of the ADAMS mosque and their obvious strong commitment to religious freedom.
Both candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for governor visited Loudoun this week.
He also remarked on a recent Washington Post poll that showed him with a narrow lead over his opponent in the primary race, pediatric neurologist and Lt. Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam.
Perriello and Northam have polled closely together.
Northam visited the All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center in Sterling along with other elected leaders Friday morning to present House Joint Resolution 969, which the General Assembly adopted this year. That resolution, introduced by Del. Jennifer B. Boysko (D-86), honors the ADAMS Center's FAITH Social Services program.
Perriello and Northam will face off in the Democratic primary election on June 13; whoever wins will be Democratic nominee for governor in November.
Arlington National Cemetery, VA — Members from the Muslim American Veterans Association (MAVA), the Boy Scouts of America, the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS), Masjid Muhammad – the Nations Mosque, the Dar al Noor Islamic Community Center and the Alliance for an Indivisible America (AIA 2020) gathered Saturday at Arlington National Cemetery to memorialize those who gave their lives in service of their country.
The Muslim veterans, representing all branches of the service, included a former paratrooper who served with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam in 1967 and with the 82nd Airborne in Fort Bragg in 1968, and a Bronze Star awardee who served with the US Army in Iraq. All the American Muslim veterans noted their great pride in having been part of a long tradition of service to America.
The group placed flowers on headstones, paid their respects to others visiting the National Cemetery and offered prayers led by Stanley Mahdi, Commander, MAVA Post#1 Washington, at grave sites of the fallen, including the grave of Staff Sergeant Ayman A. Taha, a member of the ADAMS congregation who was killed in Iraq in 2006 while preparing a munitions cache.
"We felt a strong and special spirit here in Arlington. Our hope and prayer is that that spirit grows stronger everyday and is felt everywhere across our great country," said Lyndon Bilal, National Commander of MAVA.
The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) has named Fatima Sheikh, MD, CMD, MPH, Medical Director at FutureCare in Maryland and Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the 2017 AGS Clinician of the Year. In her work across post-acute and long-term care, Dr. Sheikh is recognized not only as a skilled physician serving the needs of particularly frail older adults in the Baltimore area but also as a dedicated mentor for a diverse and growing interprofessional team. Daughter of ADAMS community member Tanzila Sheikh, Dr. Fatima Sheikh was honored at the AGS 2017 Annual Scientific Meeting (May 18-20 in San Antonio, Texas).
With a professional interest in improving long-term care for residents of skilled nursing facilities, Dr. Sheikh has championed several programs at FutureCare for managing multiple chronic conditions and transitions to and from the hospital–both critical components of long-term care for older adults. In 2012, for example, Dr. Sheikh played a key role to establish the Johns Hopkins Community Partnership Skilled Nursing Facility Collaborative, one of five Johns Hopkins University community health projects funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation Center.
And as these programs enhance the broader setting for geriatrics expertise, Dr. Sheikh has remained equally committed to high-quality care as a clinician and a mentor. Dr. Sheikh is recognized for her skill in conducting Advance Care Planning–an innovative service for documenting care preferences and one only recently recognized for Medicare beneficiaries. She continues to work with colleagues and fellows from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine on the nuances of geriatrics care, particularly when it comes to navigating cultural competency for diverse older adults and their families.
Dr. Sheikh has been a member of the AGS since 2011, when she first began her fellowship in geriatrics. She is board-certified in internal and geriatric medicine, and continues to balance her clinical career in geriatrics with research on health system innovation and improvements to care quality.
The AGS Clinician of the Year Award recognizes exceptional health professionals who deliver outstanding care to older adults and who model the importance of geriatrics for our country's growing older adult population. It is one of several honors conferred by the AGS at its Annual Scientific Meeting–held this year in San Antonio, Texas., May 18-20. The 2017 award recipients include more than 15 healthcare leaders representing the depth and breadth of disciplines championing care for older adults. For more information, visit AmericanGeriatrics.org.
The AGS Clinician of the Year Award was established to recognize the contributions of practitioners to quality health care for older people and the importance of the geriatrics clinician in our healthcare delivery system. Through awardees' efforts, scientific advances are integrated into the practice of geriatrics, resulting in improved well-being and quality of life for older adults.
