Sisterhood is Islamic: an Interview with Daisy Khan
A month ago, in late July, over 200 Muslim women leaders and activists met at the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality conference in Kuala Lumpur. The women launched a Global Muslim Women's Shura Council, an all-women's advisory council that will promote women's rights within an Islamic framework. The first action of the Shura Council was to launch a "Jihad Against Violence."
I spoke with Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, (and member of the Religion Dispatches Advisory Council) about the conference and the worldwide Muslim women's movement.
What's the impetus behind the WISE conference? Its long-term goals?
It's change through institution-building. One of the gaping holes that we've seen is that we have a very large constituency of Muslim women that are left unrepresented through institutions; so we don't have an institution that really speaks for us, even though we are half a billion around the globe.
What do you see as the greatest obstacles to Muslim women's advancement?
I was quite shocked that when polled, 93% of the women at the conference said the greatest barrier to their advancement was distorted religious interpretation.
That's almost a consensus.
And I think that 97% said that women should be in the forefront of interpreting and becoming authorities on interpretation.
You have to organize in such a way: you have to create women who have the authority to interpret, and that requires a longer-term educational program, which we did launch and have already seeded here, called the Muslim Women's Muftiyya Program. Basically a Muslim woman jurist, a scholar; a woman who would be able to look at religious text, interpret it, and give a legal opinion, also known as a fatwa.
And if a woman achieves that level of scholarship, is there any barrier to her authority being recognized?
No—the recognition, the authority, lies in her scholarship.
So in a way you could say that Islam is non-sexist in that if the individual achieves the correct level of learning, she has authority.
It has always been that way. Because of social pressures women have not entered that field, and this is the one area in which we want to revive this tradition. There has never been any objection to women being jurists. What we are doing is we're just reviving the tradition of women being such authorities.
Are you getting resistance?
We have not really received resistance in this area yet because we are doing it in a very thoughtful way. But the consensus that we have heard is that women themselves, the constituency—and they're grassroots women, very tapped into their local communities—they know what is needed. And given that, we do not believe that we will be resisted. In fact we believe we'll be welcomed, because the world needs it.
It seems that in various different countries Muslim women are seeking specific change, and are making some big changes. What progress do you see being made on those fronts?
The challenges for Muslim women in different countries are different. Some who are living in conflict-ridden zones are literally working toward survival threats; for instance in Afghanistan. They are concerned about basic education of their children, they are considering home-schooling, they need assistance with how to maintain their basic standard of living.
Then we have countries like Iran where women are highly educated and want their rightful place in society. For them, the challenge is how to get more equal status within society. You have women in Turkey who are struggling to express their religion; they want that recognition. The landscape of the Muslim world is different and the challenges are different from region to region, country to country, because of the political instability or economic development of that country.
What we are trying to do through WISE is create a little bit of a level field through education, through a compact that we have signed as women that we must lift up the status of women throughout societies; and that there must be consistency of how women are to be seen and are to be treated in every society that calls itself Muslim.
Do you see any inherent conflict between Islam itself and full women's equality?
No, actually we declare gender equality to be an intrinsic part of the Islamic faith. It's something that people have long forgotten. And this is why we are stating our case from an Islamic jurisprudence point of view. We believe that Muslim women are worthy of respect and dignity. According to Islam, they're legal individuals; they're spiritual beings; they're social people. These are all God-given responsibilities.
They are even responsible agents, so they are held accountable for their actions. They are free citizens. True, they're servants of God; but they hold fundamental equal rights to exercise their abilities and talents in all human areas of activity.
And we can prove this through our scripture. This is not something we made up; this is not a 21st-century concept. Societies may have forgotten these concepts. We understand that some people may think that women have different roles. Different roles doesn't mean that she is inferior. It just means that men have certain qualities; women have other qualities, but we are partners. This is how we're referred to in the Qur'an. So we need to revive that.
As women, we have a responsibility to make our case; because if we don't make our case, others won't be able to. This is not to say that because we are equal it is in any way to be seen as a threat to other people.
We will need to educate people about what women's rights are, and how when women exercise these, they become a very important part of society's flourishing. We want women to be seen as assets, not as burdens anymore. This is critical because women represent half of the population, if not more, especially in the Muslim world. They are the glue that holds the family together. They are the glue that holds the community together, and ultimately a good woman produces a good child produces a good citizen produces a good future. So we want people to understand and recognize that women are central to the society flourishing.
They have always had a very high status in the eyes of the prophet. The Qur'an says that paradise lies at the feet of the mother, and what does that mean? Why does a mother have such a high status, and then people think that women are inferior? The two just don't make sense—they're not parallel. So we're just remaking our case in such a way that it is accepted.
We did a test on several male scholars: we asked them to review this document and we were quite shocked at some of the responses we got. One of the imams said, "Not only do I agree with this entire thing, I'm also going to give a Friday sermon on this, and then I'm going to translate it into Urdu, and I'm going to have it sent to every madrassah so every young boy knows who women are and what their rights are."
So people see this as a welcome sign, because some male scholars and male imams need our help to make our case for them.
The women's jihad against violence—let's talk about that. First the goals?
We first started with domestic violence because that was something that we wanted to rid our communities of, especially when it's done in the name of our religion. We wanted to make sure that we let everybody know that there is no justification for domestic violence.
That verse [4:34] people cite that claims that men have ultimate authority in marriage—what do you say about that?
I think the general consensus in that verse is that the purpose of marriage is to create harmony in the home; not to create this kind of discord and pain and suffering. The prophet was known to be the walking Qur'an. When he had a family dispute, he never struck a woman; in fact he was very respectful to women. He always walked away. So number one, there is no prophetic precedent.
So again, that's a point where scholarship is going to help.
And that is where great minds can come in and say, "What does this really mean?" and Laleh Bakhtiar, a Saudi scholar, has gone through the entire Qur'an in analysis and said that daraba has several meanings: yes, one of them is "beat," but it has also been translated as "go away." So that seems to be the more appropriate one.
When you present that to women, they say, "Of course. That's what it should be." And that's what makes sense, and that's what the prophet did. So why was this verse translated differently?
So you started with domestic violence, that's an important issue…
It's an important issue, but what is really pressing right now for the entire global community—and most importantly for the Muslim community, because Muslims are getting impacted by violence more than anybody else—is violent extremism. We believe that violence is creating great suffering and pain everywhere. It's not only devastating individual lives, it's crippling entire societies. It destroys property, it's impoverishing nations because there's no economic development, and it's violating the essential dignity of all humans. What it does to the future is even more dangerous, because it develops and generates a lot of mistrust and intolerance which poison an entire generation. It mars the name and reputation of Islam. Islam gets linked to terrorism and violence as if the two are so integrally married, and that's bad for Islam.
And also, finally, it's un-Islamic.
It's un-Islamic because you're not supposed to take an innocent life; that's it! So why has it become the norm? The norm should be peace. Violence—when it has to be done—there is a process, there is an entire theory on what is just war, and those are all rules that have to be followed. Killing innocents is not part of that.
On the other hand, what peace brings: Human development is taking place, people are getting educated, minds are expanding. You are creating relative tranquility in the home. It increases wealth and builds prosperity in the nation.
It heightens respect and appreciation of others; you're not suspicious of your neighbor, you have respect and tolerance for others. For us it also affirms that Islam truly is a religion of peace.
This is why we juxtapose the two against one another. Violence is bringing nothing—there is nothing in it, it has no solutions. And look at what peace can bring! Let's pledge that we will join the movement, to take a pledge, to ask everybody to join this jihad against violence, or jihad for peace.
There's a feeling that women have a special role or special opportunity to have a positive impact by taking leadership.
Yes. We decided to start it with the individual first. Each woman will take a pledge herself. Then she will extend that pledge to her family. Then that pledge they will continue to their community. So we would like to start this movement in Ramadan of this year, when it's fasting month, and there's also an international day of peace where we will ask people to create small gatherings where they can extend this pledge.
It's such a resonant word, jihad, for both Muslims and non-Muslims. The decision to choose that word—what do you think about that?
We chose that word because we felt the word has been hijacked by others. The word, "jihad" is something that Muslims use in their vernacular as a way of saying "this is my big struggle, or my big challenge in life," but it has been completely hijacked by people: the word has been distorted, it has only been given one meaning, and so we wanted to reclaim the word for ourselves and give it the true meaning, which is that it's going to be a big struggle to even push away violence from our communities and to usher in an era of peace. We felt that a strong word like that would be important.
A question that might be a little trivial, but comes up in any discussion of modern Muslim women is the issue concerning dress, freedom of dress both ways. Is it something that comes up within your movement? Do you think it's even something that needs to be talked about?
People have gone beyond the issue of dress, because there are more pressing issues; there are some women who are struggling to survive. We have to focus on big issues that really impact us all. We have to once and for all improve the status of Muslim women, how they are seen and how they are treated around the world.
There is a radical internal debate going on in the Muslim community that is not being recognized by anybody out there. It's not even about projecting ourselves any more. It's about who we are, and how we define ourselves as a global community. Where are we falling short? Where do we need to improve? We women, who are usually very secure in our faith; we are more nurturing, we are open to collaborating, we are prepared to have this discussion. We are not afraid to have this discussion. And we think it's critical to have this discussion.
One thing that occurs to me is that a huge percentage of people in the world are Muslim; at least half are women. If all of those women's lives can be improved, and if they can speak as a voice for peace, then that will also have a positive impact on the rest of the world.
It's important that women begin to talk of peace and to resist collectively, because if we can bring together an ambiance where we talk to one another, we create a buzz for ushering in an era of peace. Islam actually means peace; so why shouldn't we work toward peace?

Lawro's Premier League predictions v Travis bassist Dougie Payne
Premier League pacesetters Liverpool and Tottenham both dropped points over the weekend, but who will return to winning ways when they meet at Anfield in Wednesday's top-two clash?
"They are both really good sides and they will both do what they usually do," said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson.
"They have different ways of going about it, but Spurs will think they can score – and so will Liverpool."
Lawro is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For this midweek round of fixtures, he is up against Travis bassist Dougie Payne.
Travis, whose famous 2016 gig with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Glasgow's iconic Barrowland Ballroom is available to watch now on iPlayer, hit the road again with a new tour in 2021. Their latest album '10 Tunes' was released in October and reached number five in the UK charts.
Payne (left) with Fran Healy when Travis performed in Barcelona in 2018. The band released their first album 'Good Feeling' in 1997. The 1999 follow-up, 'The Man Who' sold 3.5 million copies worldwide.
Payne is a Glasgow native and Rangers fan who is enjoying their revival under Steven Gerrard and also the return to form of the Scotland national team.
Rangers are 13 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership as they chase their first title since 2011 and Payne told BBC Sport: "It has been a rough few years for the club and a little bit of scar tissue has built up from that – so you are kind of always waiting for the safe to drop on your head, and things to revert back to being as bad as they were.
"But it has to be said that things are going really well right now. Gerrard has really turned things around and the players he has signed have slotted right in. We are not just getting good results, we are playing really well too. Scotty Arfield has hit some incredible form and I love Kemar Roofe."
How will Scotland do at next summer's European Championship? Payne says: "We have got a great manager in Steve Clarke and for the first time in a long time it feels exciting to be a Scotland fan."
Payne was in France with Travis recording their album 'The Man Who' the last time Scotland reached a major men's finals – the 1998 World Cup – and he was able to get tickets for their first game in Paris, which was also the tournament's opening game, against defending champions Brazil.
"We were in the Brazil end, and it was just an incredible, absolutely joyful experience," he explained. "We lost 2-1 in the end, but when John Collins scored our equaliser from the penalty spot, all the Brazil fans around us were hugging us. It was just the best.
"At that point, Scotland were used to qualifying for everything. We had been at Euro 92 and Euro 96 and had only missed one World Cup since 1974.
"My kids have never experienced those tournaments with Scotland there, so it is just fantastic we are back – and there is even a Scotland versus England game to look forward to as well."
Result Lawro Dougie
Wolves v Chelsea x-x 0-2 0-2
Man City v West Brom x-x 3-0 3-0
Arsenal v Southampton x-x 0-2 1-2
Leeds v Newcastle x-x 2-0 2-1
Leicester v Everton x-x 2-0 1-1
Fulham v Brighton x-x 0-2 2-1
Liverpool v Tottenham x-x 1-1 2-2
West Ham v Crystal Palace x-x 2-1 1-2
Aston Villa v Burnley x-x 1-1 2-0
Sheff Utd v Man Utd x-x 0-2 0-2
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Wolves v Chelsea (18:00 GMT)
Wolves are struggling for goals although they did create quite a few chances in Saturday's home defeat by Aston Villa.
Chelsea lost at the weekend too, and they did not really get going against Everton.
Frank Lampard's side maybe still have to get used to teams who are set up to stop them from playing the way they want to, but I expect them to win at Molineux.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Dougie's prediction: It is a real shame what has happened to Wolves striker Raul Jimenez and they are not the same without him. 0-2
Man City v West Brom (20:00 GMT)
The Manchester derby was a nothing game but, from Manchester City's perspective, a point at Old Trafford is never a bad result.
They have to win this one, though. West Brom will have a plan to sit in, defend and keep City out, but I don't see that working for very long.
Dougie's prediction: City have been up and down but they are still very much in touch at the top. They have not been scoring that many, but they are due to give someone a tonking and if any team is going to get one, it is West Brom. 3-0
Arsenal v Southampton (18:00 GMT)
Arsenal did not give up against Burnley, even with 10 men, but they are clearly lacking belief at the moment.
The Gunners have had plenty of defensive issues in recent years but they were always a team that created plenty of chances. That is no longer the case, and it is a massive problem for them.
I look through the team and think 'who is going to get them playing?' and, while Thomas Partey is out injured, I don't think they have anyone who can do that.
While they struggle like this, it just raises the Mesut Ozil question, and why he isn't involved. Whatever the reason is for that, it is extremely hard to argue he would not improve the team if he came back.
Southampton, in contrast, are flying right now and are only two points off the top of the Premier League. It is fabulous to see them doing so well.
Ralph Hasenhuttl lauds 'emotional' victory over Blades in front of fans
They will go to Emirates Stadium and think they can win, and rightly so.
On current form, if you go through each team you would not swap any of the Saints defenders, midfielders or attackers for any of Arsenal's at the moment.
Based on reputation, it might be a different story – but reputation does not win you football matches.
Dougie's prediction: I've got a soft spot for Arsenal because a lot of my friends are Gunners, but they are in trouble at the moment. The last game I went to see before lockdown was when they beat Everton in February – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eddie Nketiah scored and they looked like they were going to go great guns. That, in many ways, feels like a million years ago. 1-2
Leeds v Newcastle (18:00 GMT)
Leeds are naive at the back and that is going to cost them at times this season.
Yes, they created some good opportunities against West Ham on Friday night but the flipside of that was that the Hammers were able to play right through them.
I don't see this Newcastle side doing that to them though, so it might just come down to whether Marcelo Bielsa's team can take their chances this time.
Dougie's prediction: Like a lot of people, I am really loving watching Leeds play. They have been so entertaining. Newcastle? Not quite so much! 2-1
Leicester v Everton (18:00 GMT)
Everton got a much-needed win – and a good one too – against Chelsea. It showed the Toffees do not rely on James Rodriguez, who was out injured, and also that they are up for a scrap when they need to be.
I fancy Leicester here, though. There is a bit of a swagger about the Foxes at the moment and Jamie Vardy is in the kind of form where he is scoring in pretty much every game he plays.
Dougie's prediction: These two seem pretty well-matched to me. 1-1
Fulham v Brighton (20:00 GMT)
I did not expect Fulham to be as good as they were in Sunday's draw with Liverpool, especially in the first half.
I just have a feeling this could be a case of 'after the Lord Mayor's show' here for the Cottagers, though. Can they repeat that same sort of intensity they showed against the Reds? I am not so sure.
If you look at Brighton's run of form, you might think they have major problems but I don't think they are far away from clicking.
They have been playing well without scoring – with the chances they are creating, they should be getting better results.
Dougie's prediction: I changed my mind on this one after seeing Fulham draw with Liverpool on Sunday. The confidence the Cottagers will take from that performance will give them a massive lift. 2-1
Liverpool v Tottenham (20:00 GMT)
You just know Liverpool won't be as bad as they were in the first half at Craven Cottage on Sunday. If they are, then Spurs will be able to capitalise.
As far as Liverpool's attack goes, I would always back them to score – even against a Jose Mourinho side, who we know are really good defensively.
I don't think it will quite be a case of them cancelling each other out, because I'd expect both teams to create a few chances, but I am going for a draw. It wouldn't be a bad result for either side.
Dougie's prediction: The way Liverpool go at teams, and the way Spurs hit you on the break makes me think there are are going to be goals in this one, but I can't choose between them. 2-2
West Ham v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)
West Ham are playing really well at the moment. The players look lively in all areas – their work-rate is much improved – and, as well as that, they are very well organised too.
Crystal Palace will make things difficult for them, they always do, but I'm going with the Hammers to edge it.
Dougie's prediction: This game sums up how hard it is to predict Premier League games this season. Both sides have got some excellent attacking players and I keep going back and forth about who will win it. 1-2
Aston Villa v Burnley (18:00 GMT)
Aston Villa, in 10th, are only seven points behind leaders Tottenham and the gap would be even smaller if Villa take anything from their two games in hand.
It just shows how open the Premier League is this season. I don't think any one team is going to pull away and while it would be pushing it to suggest Villa are going to feature right at the top end, their improvement in the past few months should give them reason to believe they can stay in the top half.
'Great win' for Aston Villa despite 'poor' referee decisions – Dean Smith
Villa are not just more of a threat going forward, they have shown with wins like the one they got at Wolves on Saturday that they can go out and keep things tight then nick the points, which is not what they were known for at any stage last season.
I would be surprised if they roll Burnley over, though. Sean Dyche's side got a couple of breaks against Arsenal, with Granit Xhaka's stupid red card for the Gunners then an own goal for their winner, but they were due a bit of luck and they are better than their league position suggests.
Dougie's prediction: Burnley got a great result at the weekend but I can't see them getting anything here. 2-0
Sheff Utd v Man Utd (20:00 GMT)
The worrying thing for Sheffield United now is that they are not just struggling to score goals, they don't look like stopping them either.
I always feared Chris Wilder's side would be a bit short in attack but if you had told me before the campaign started that they would be this poor defensively too, I wouldn't have believed you. A big reason they did so well last season was that they were hard to break down.
Things look pretty bleak for the Blades and it is hard to see a repeat of what happened in this fixture last season, when they pinched a late point against Manchester United after leading 2-0 at one stage.
That was a real thriller, but this time around it should be a lot more routine for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
There is something missing from Manchester United at the moment, but they still have enough quality in their side to win this game comfortably.
Dougie's prediction: Rangers could play Manchester United if both teams make progress in the Europa League. I think the key to beating them is to not go 2-0 up against them – or, if you do, leave it until very late. Anything could happen in this game too, but I am going to go with something pretty sensible. 0-2
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
How did Lawro do last time?
Last weekend, Lawro got three correct results from 10 matches, with no exact scores, for a total of 30 points.
He was beaten by Lonely The Brave drummer Gavin 'Mo' Edgeley, who got four correct results, also with no exact scores, for a total of 40 points.

Musician Authors: Bob Dylan
purchase [ The Philosophy of Modern Song ]
If you use Amazon as your guide to the number of books Bob Dylan has written, you'll end up with a number a little north of 50. If you rely on Quora for your research, the answer is two. Two that he has actually penned himself. However, that Quora entry/tally - apparently a little out of date - doesn't include <The Philosophy of Modern Song>, so make that three (3). Those three being Tarantula, Chronicles Volume One and The Philosophy of Modern Song.
That said, there is no dispute that he received the Nobel prize for literature. There was, however, a bit of a kerfuffle associated with his acceptance, both because he initially balked and equally because there was debate about whether his product was worthy of a "literature" award (incidentally, also bestowed previously for poetic output).
There aren't many who belittle Dylan's thought-provoking lyrics, so ... let's let that argument pass: he *is* an author (and as I noted a week ago, that in and of itself, should count for this theme.)
The Philosophy of Modern Song, Bob Dylan's most recent written work after his Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016, looks interesting. I confess that all I have so far been able to read are the snippets that NYT published the other day. That said, the few pages the NYT shared make me want to read more. More, because I have been feeling that a lot of my coverage of topics for SMM could really do with more background research. More, because it reads well. More because it is relevant to someone invested in music.
NYT tells us the book is 65 essays about songs, and the article offers up 2 excerpts: the text for Sinatra's Strangers in the Night and Townshend's My Generation. They're both short - about 2 pages each. But they are piercing in their own way. Kind of like you'd expect from a Dylan lyric - except more conversational and less cryptic/poetic.
and, from ig.ft.com:
"Ballad in Plain D", from Bob Dylan's fourth album, Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964) is the only song he ever publicly admitted he wished he hadn't written. "Oh yeah, that one! I look back and say, "I must have been a real schmuck to write that," he said in 1985.

If you are on twitter, I hope that you are following @ThinkPosCoach or @SimeCartwright and if you are then I hope we are following you too. If not, go to twitter and follow us now. Tweet us if we haven't followed you back!
If you have spent enough time on Twitter, building up your fan base, you will have come across TrueTwit validation. You've clicked on Follow and you get a direct message asking you to validate yourself in order to follow that account.
As a business, the aim for us is to make as many connections as possible, to build an audience that we can interact with and network with. Many of the businesses that we are following, we are trying to help in one way or another by retweeting their tweets, or by giving them business when we have clients that require their services. It isn't about just having a following, it is about being connected to people and helping others be as successful as they can be.
So, why wouldn't you want to validate people wanting to follow you on Twitter?
Simple, it is an extra step to connect with you and each additional step is a potential blocker. It is like asking for a person's passport and drivers licence before selling them a hot dog. It implies a lack of trust and you want to trust people that want to hear about your products and services. You want to trust people that want to engage with you and your business. It is social media after all and although we understand that it is possible for people to misrepresent themselves and be fraudulent, you should start with a positive opinion of others. Trust them and they are more likely to trust you and your business.
TrueTwit validation is someone stating that they assume all accounts are robots and that they need proof of otherwise. It also shows that they don't spend very much time on Twitter themselves. You can tell, rather quickly which accounts are robots, or spambots, or people who just want to fill your Twitter feed with junk. I would rather spend a little time filtering out the trash and be sure that everyone else has an opportunity to follow us in a simple and efficient way.
As an organisation, we don't follow people who use TrueTwit validation. We retract our intent to engage in their posts and potentially, they could be providing products or services that we could utilise as a business, but we will never know, and they will never get the opportunity to show us. Do you want to leave that potential in the hands of an automated validation system?
We understand that some people are still afraid of the terrors on the internet but as a business you need to be able to show your customers that you understand these things and are not afraid of them. Be confident and out in the open, don't try to hide behind the wall of TrueTwit validation because your customers will never get through to you and you may very well miss out on some wonderful people who in addition, might have been your very next sale.

Calvin Finch: SAWS Rain Barrel program
Lifestyle // Home & Garden
Nov. 11, 2016 Updated: Nov. 11, 2016 3:32 p.m.

The SAWS Rain barrel program will not solve our long-term water challenges or reduce water rates. But it will allow gardeners to obtain a high quality rain barrel at a bargain price and to more easily use rainwater to irrigate container plants.
If you are into competition, participation in the program may also allow SAWS to set a one-day national water barrel distribution record, and it will result in favorite volunteer gardening programs receiving some cash to support their programming efforts.
Rainwater is a high-quality water source for irrigation. The limiting factor in our climate is that our erratic rainfall events mean that we need a large storage capability in order to collect enough rainwater to meet the needs of our periods of dry weather.
Storage tanks are expensive, often $1 per gallon of storage or even more. When you do the math, it turns out that it is less expensive to use our municipal sources or wells for irrigation water than it is for you to build a large volume rainwater catchment system.
That being said, every gardener notices (or imagines?) the positive response that flowers and vegetables show when moisture is provided by rain. Rainwater is more acidic and often includes nitrogen from the atmosphere, so the plant response is probably real.
Having access to collected rainfall for our plants is a desirable goal for most gardeners. Having one or two rain barrels collecting runoff may meet the partial needs of a patio full of container plans.
Toward that end, SAWS has created a partnership with a national rain barrel producer. SAWS is subsidizing all but $40 of the cost of a 50-gallon barrel complete with all the connections and mosquito cover. Each SAWS customer can purchase up to two of the barrels. The first step is to visit the SAWS website between now and Dec. 9 to receive a coupon code number.
SAWS will quickly send you an authorization and coupon which you can then submit to the manufacturer's website along with your payment by Dec. 16. The manufacturer will send you a receipt that will allow you to pick up your barrels on Jan. 14 at one of three sites: the San Antonio Botanical Garden, the Mitchell Lake Audubon Center or Eisenhower Park.
In a similar program last year in San Diego, 1,700 rain barrels were distributed in one day. Those of you who remember the low-flow toilet distribution events in the early 2000s that slowed traffic on Interstate 37 near the Alamodome, recognize that it may be possible to set a new record here in San Antonio.
Working toward setting a new national record and to help San Antonio gardeners to make effective use of the rain barrels, volunteers from several of our most active gardening and environmental groups are involved. The Bexar County Master Gardeners, the Gardening Volunteers of South Texas, the San Antonio Botanical Garden, the Green Spaces Alliance and the Mitchell Lake Audubon Center will be spreading the word. When you complete your rain barrel application, you will be asked to name one of the groups to receive recognition in the form of a performance payment for the effort.
For more information on the SAWS Rain Barrel Program, and/or to sign up, visit the SAWS website at SAWS.org.

UtterAccess Forums > Counting check boxes in a sub form?
Full Version: Counting check boxes in a sub form?
I have seen a thread on the above subject but can't find it for love nor money. What I am looking to do is find the simplest way to have a single text box count how many of my check boxes are 'checked'. For some reason i can't get it to count them, I've tried everything I know and I'm now stuck!
If your table looks like this then your data is not normalized and you need to normalize the structure before you go further with the db.
It is the delivered field that I am trying to count. They are all on a continueus sub form, 1 set of information per detail section.
The above is my best GUESS as to what your code might look like. If you need help with the DCount() syntax then look here. The article is about DLookup() but the syntax is exactly the same.
Thanks Jack, I'll have a play!
This is just a guess so take it with a huge grain of salt.
I think I am being a bit thick! I cant seem to get it to work.
If I put a text box in the form footer, how do I get it to count the amount of 'ticked' check boxes above it, in the forms detail section, my brain hurts!
that takes the absolute value of the sum of all the 'check boxes' and since a check box value is -1 for true and 0 for false, it should be what you need.
Nice one Noah, spot on. It now totals the check box's in my sub form. Now for the next little task, I've tried to get another text box on the main form to be controled by the text box on the subform. I tried to simpliy build it to say that it should be equal to the sub form text box but it doesn't like it! Do you know why and how I can make it?
PS Nice link on the bottom of your post Noah, it looks like a good read!
That did you use in the Control Source of the text box on your main form?
Text24 being the name of the text box, all I get is #NAME?
Am I being a bit dim?
didn't mean to forget about you, just got carried away with trying out Noah's suggestions!
You're welcome Jack! I never mean to step on toes, just want to help, if I can.
Not a problem!!! I am glad Noah jumped in with a far better solution!!!
You never step on my toes as I have very quick feet, considering my age! Actually, it is a big relief when I see that you have jumped in!
But its not workinig, I'm still getting "#NAME?"?
The control on the sub form is "Text24" and the sub form is called "Pallets and Rans"
Please could you re-point me in the right direction?
When you click on the subform, and then open the Properties window, what is the Name property under the Other tab?
I've realised what I was doing wrong and I've got it to work but it doesn't seen to be saving the value it creates in my main table? Do you know why?
You shouldn't BE saving the value. You can and should calculate it whenever it's needed on a form as you're doing or in a report. Storing calculated values is virtually never a good idea.
Oh ... Ok, when I am reporting on the calculated figures, how do I do this for multipul records all at once?
Just like you used the unbound text box in the form footer, you can use it in section footers of a report.

Commission denies critical slope waiver for wireless tower
by Charlottesville Tomorrow April 2, 2008 Updated November 9, 2018
The Albemarle County Planning Commission has denied a critical slope waiver that would allow Verizon Wireless to construct a 73 foot tall tower along Interstate 64, even though it narrowly approved a special use permit for same structure. The denial came despite claims by attorney Stephen Blaine that his client was being held to a higher standard than other wireless providers in the area.

Because four existing towers are near the same site, Verizon Wireless needed to apply for a special use permit. The site is visible from VDOT's memorial overlook on I-64.
Staff recommended approval of the tower, but recommended denial of the critical slopes waiver. County Planner Megan Yaniglos told the Commission that three of the four towers in the same location also disturbed critical slopes, but a waiver was not required when they were approved in 2000. Since then, the ordinance has changed to require more review.
Blaine said the tower is necessary to help Verizon Wireless provide service to its customers as they drive along the Interstate, and also to provide service to residents in that section of the County. Blaine said the application addresses the impacts of the disturbances with a sediment control plan.
"We want to uphold the integrity of the critical slope ordinance," Blaine said. "The way to uphold it and respect it is to consistently apply it using the criteria your engineering department set forth."
Deputy County Attorney Greg Kamptner said he was not sure why the prior applications were approved without a waiver, but that the County is obligated to apply ordinances that are on the books. He said he did not think that Verizon was being discriminated against, and that something must have been overlooked in the past.
During the public hearing, several members of the Greenwood neighborhood in Albemarle County pleaded with the Commission to deny the application, in part because they want Verizon to introduce landline high-speed access to their community. Tim Scruby of Dick Woods Lane said the construction of the tower would discourage Verizon from investing in such services.
Blaine said that Verizon Wireless is a separate company from Verizon, the phone company that is being asked by residents to provide DSL service. "If there's a business reason for the landline company to extend DSL then they will," he said, but added that wireless Internet might be a possibility in the future.
Commissioner Marcia Joseph (At-Large) said she lives in an area that is not served by wired broadband, but that she made a choice to invest in a large satellite dish so she could run her business from home. "It's hard for me to support additional, more urban, services in the rural areas," she said.
After an hour and a half of discussion, the Commission voted 4-3 to approve the special use permit. Scottsville Linda Porterfield (Scottsville) said she could not support a fifth tower in the location, and Commissioners Cannon and Strucko sided with her. Strucko then made a motion to deny the critical slopes waiver, which was approved 4-3.
The item will go to the Board of Supervisors on May 7, 2008. If the Board agrees with the Commission, the application will be denied. The Albemarle County Planning Commission is expected to have a work session related to the process for reviewing wireless tower facilities at their meeting on April 22, 2008.

Samaria Gorge located in the region of Chania in Crete is such a pleasant surprise to all, locals and visitors. The Samaria Gorge is a National Park of Greece since 1962 on the island, a major tourist attraction of Crete and a World's Biosphere Reserve. People that have walked the Samaria Gorge do not expect to come across such a different kind of natural beauty although they might have been coming back to Crete year after year. However as with most valuable things in life it takes an effort to be able to inhale this beauty and the ones that will accept the challenge of walking the Samaria Gorge will certainly feel lucky and rewarded. Although most people believe that Crete being an island all that is to it are beaches which are actually amazing and a very strong magnet, the mountains of Crete hold equally incredible natural beauty.

As the alpha has degraded in certain alt data sets based on too many investors chasing the same signal, the need to find unique ways to use alt data beyond just a pure signal has increased. Blending data sets and merging signal with fundamental methods through the use of AI will become more critical in generating alpha.
Can you share an example of how your system has been used by a new customer? Feel free to include any feedback or practical examples.
Our alt data services have been used by both fundamental investors for digging deeper into the why's behind a certain trend, as well as quantitative investors in generating improved alpha versus existing data sources they have used. In the case of transaction data, there has been one main data source on the market for years, and our data is unique and thus can be used either as a replacement given it has unique alpha or as an independent read on a signal that might differ from the one widely used in the market.
Understanding how to link the quant signal into a fundamental model is critical. Determining what fundamental variables the quant signal is capturing and understanding what its limitations are in terms of what is not capturing is critical.
Yes, we believe cloud computing is the future in financial services as well. As datasets are getting larger, the complexity of the calculations have moved well beyond excel or even a local database, and more and cheaper processing power is required every day, investors will need to adapt cloud computing to solve these pain points. Investors will have to way flexibility in working with current processes as well as costs.
Using alt data, AI, and cloud computing will become the norm and not the exception. The skillset of the hedge funds employees will have to shift from a centralized effort on this front to one embedded within the investment teams, no different than when personal computers and spreadsheets moved from a data lab to all investment professionals desks.
Pivoting our fundamental equity research business into becoming an alternative data insights provider. This involved bridging the gap between the technical professionals and fundamental investment professionals and solving the pain points of both.

A guide to the Ontario college strike
October 17, 2017 11:30AM EDT
Sources : ctvnews.ca
Classes are cancelled for approximately half a million students in Ontario, after faculty at colleges across the province went on strike Monday.
Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about the impact of the job action.
Who's on strike?
The labour dispute involves more than 12,000 professors, instructors, counsellors, and librarians at 24 Ontario colleges.
The affected colleges are: Algonquin, Cambrian, Canadore, Centennial, College boreale, Conestoga, Confederation, Durham, Fanshawe, Fleming, George Brown, Georgian, Humber, La cite collegiale, Lambton, Loyalist, Mohawk, Niagara, Northern, Sault, Seneca, Sheridan, St. Clair and St. Lawrence.
Why are they striking?
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union wants more job security and academic freedom for its members. They are calling for more full-time faculty positions to fight a trend towards colleges becoming increasingly reliant on contract and part-time jobs.
But the College Employer Council says meeting the union's demands would add more than $250 million costs each year.
The council put forward a deal for a 7.75 per cent pay increase over four years and a preference for full-time jobs.
Are classes cancelled?
Most colleges have cancelled or suspended classes until further notice. However, some Continuing Education classes remain in session. More details are available on the college websites.
Are campuses open?
Yes, campuses remain open and some services are still available. Further details are available on the college websites.
Is tuition being refunded?
Not at this time. An online petition demanding that students be refunded tuition fees has amassed more than 60,000 signatures as of Monday.
A college official has said it is still too early to talk about tuition refunds; however, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development would have to make that decision.
When will the strike end?
It is still unclear when the strike might be resolved. Both sides say there are no talks scheduled.

Comment: We had a safari in Murchison Falls NP that was a trip of a lifetime.
First, Penny booked our trip and answered our questions with responsiveness and ease. She allowed us to feel confident that every detail was being taken care of.
Second, Joseph our guide went out of his way to serve us well. We not only saw and photographed the Big 5, but we were catered to as special guests.
Third, Fort Murchison Lodge and the staff was outstanding. The meals were superb, accommodations excellent, and staff service was beyond expectations.
Comment: I was very impressed with the website when I was looking for a company to plan our trip to Murchison Falls. My friend and I were going to Uganda to visit my daughter and her friend who were working as volunteers with an NGO in Jinja. The four of us wanted to visit Murchison Falls.
We were pleased that the operator was able to make arrangements to suit our budget. They also accommodated our wish to be picked up in Jinja instead of Kampala.
Our driver, Beki was wonderful. Not only was he a very competent driver, but he was full of good humour and knowledge about the culture of Uganda and its animals and plants. He answered all of our questions about everything we saw on our trip to Murchison Falls and we had many as this was our first trip to Africa. He pointed out many things of interest to us and made us feel so comfortable on our trip. Beki helped to make our safri a most enjoyable and memorable experience.
The company sent us an information package and a complete itinerary before we went on our safari. I thought this was very helpful. I have only praise for their staff. If Beki is representative of all their drivers, then you are ensured of an amazing safari experience.
Comment: We thought they did a very good job of meeting our needs during our trip to Uganda. They were responsive when we asked to modify the standard itinerary - visiting a local hospital, the Kampala marketplace, and the veterinary school at the University.
At our request, they substituted an extra game drive for the scheduled activity, and accommodated our request for a different hotel in Kampala on our last days.
Our guide/driver was named David, and he answered all of our questions, maintaining his composure despite some unforeseen circumstances (car broke down, and he had to get a different driver to bring us back to Kampala).
We took the luxury option except for Travellers Rest, which we chose when the Nkuringo Lodge was not able to honor our reservations. It was an unexpected pleasure to stay at Travellers Rest -- wonderful food and friendly service at a very reasonable price. The Primate Luxury Tented Camp, where we stayed when we tracked chimps in Kibale, seems like it's not quite ready for prime time but shows promise for the future.
Overall, we were very pleased, and if we were going to make the trip again, we'd call them.
Comment: We would be delighted to provide you with information about our holiday. We have nothing but praise for this operator, both for their helpfulness throughout and their flexibility in planning our itinerary.
We had a rather unusual plan for our holiday, in that, as well as touring the game parks, we wished to seeand meet Ugandans on the ground as much as possible,and also we wished to end our holiday by being taken to Gulu, where our daughter is working as an NGO.
They responded to this by including a 2-day visit to a farm in the far south-west, near the Tanzanian and Rwandan borders, and by agreeing to drop us off in Gulu, rather than returning us to Kampala.
We visited Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabth, Kibale and Murchison Falls National Parks, in addition to Nshenyi village referred to above. All this was achieved in an 11-day itinerary, at a very reasonable cost. Our driver was fantastic. He was not only one of the best drivers I've ever come across either inside or outside of Uganda, but he was also very friendly, and most knowledgeable about all the wildlife, including the rich variety of birds we saw. He also had phenomenal eyesight; even when the road he was negotiating was particularly pitted and rough, he still managed to catch sight of birds and game a long way of, which we would have missed.
Altogether a most positive, enjoyable and educational trip. I'd recommend anyone to go; Uganda is a truly beautiful country. We look forward to returning.
Comment: I found the safari operator to be very accommodating with any special requests we had regarding the itinerary.
The Safari Lodge pool made for a perfect setting for a sunset swim, overlooking the channel filled with hippos. The lodge also provided the unique experience of waking up to a hippo grazing outside our door.

Minerals Technologies Disclosure Pursuant to California in Transparency Supply Chain Act
The Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 is a California state law, applicable to certain large businesses, which was enacted to provide consumers with information from manufacturers and retailers regarding their efforts to prevent human trafficking and slavery in their supply chains. The California legislature believes that, by requiring businesses to make certain disclosures, consumers and other businesses may make more informed decisions regarding the products they choose to purchase and the companies with whom they choose to conduct business.
Minerals Technologies Inc. ("MTI") is a resource- and technology-based company that develops, produces and markets worldwide a broad range of specialty mineral, minerals-based and synthetic minerals products and related systems and services. Specialty Minerals Inc. ("SMI") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTI and, as part of MTI's family, adopts and abides by MTI's corporate responsibility principles.
Since it began operating, MTI has progressively increased its efforts to improve safety and efficiency, change corporate culture for the better, and assure sustainable growth. MTI takes corporate responsibility very seriously. Vital to these efforts is MTI's guiding principle that its business activities be conducted in a lawful and ethical manner whether here, in the U.S., or at any of its other worldwide locations. MTI has a policy of placing the health and safety of its employees ahead of all else. In reward for its efforts, MTI has earned repeated recognition for outstanding performance in employee safety.
MTI purchases a variety of items from many various reputable and established suppliers. MTI is not, at this time, in a position to monitor the operations of every one of its many suppliers whether by way of self-conducted audits or through third party auditing. MTI has, however, historically, conveyed to and expects its suppliers to adhere to applicable law, including employment laws, and is in the process of updating its supply chain policies and processes.
Supplier Assessments, Qualification, and Reviews
Prior to engagement of a supplier, MTI follows a qualification process which may include interviewing the prospective supplier and conducting a risk-based assessment, which may also include supplier questionnaires and in some cases audits of supplier facilities. MTI's expectation for compliance with ethical and legal standards is communicated to all potential suppliers. MTI continuously strives to improve its supply chain. Once a supplier is engaged, MTI and the supplier may develop performance targets and objectives and MTI monitors business performance through periodic evaluation and review of these performance targets and objectives.
Supplier Audits
While MTI does not currently audit every supplier, MTI does regularly audit certain suppliers to confirm compliance with supplier performance and quality standards. Audits are performed by MTI or third parties contracted by MTI. The audits are not solely for the purpose of investigating a supplier's reliance on human trafficking or slavery, but in the event such activities are detected during the audit, MTI would take appropriate action.
Supplier Agreements
MTI has supply agreements and/or purchase order terms and conditions with all of its suppliers. These contracts include certification and agreement to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to that supplier, including employment laws. As a responsible manufacturer, should we have any reason to believe that a raw material supplier is engaging in slavery or other unlawful human trafficking, we would take immediate action. For instance, according to MTI policy, suppliers will be removed from the Bidder's List when found to have engaged in illegal or unethical practices.
MTI's Code of Conduct outlines the company's expectations for business conduct and practices. It includes provisions on conducting business with high ethical and legal standards. It also highlights MTI's commitment to complying with the laws and regulations of its host communities. All employees are expected to ensure compliance with the Code of Conduct and report possible violations.
Employee Training and Compliance
All employees are required to acknowledge compliance with the MTI Code of Conduct in writing. MTI has internal training programs which, among other things, focus on the values set forth in its Code of Conduct. Employees whose job responsibilities include supply chain management, including international sourcing, receive such training. The training emphasizes that employees must not only comply with all applicable laws and regulations, but also must report to MTI any known or suspected violations of law or ethics, which could include violations of laws relating to human trafficking or slavery in MTI's supply chain. Failure of any employee to comply with MTI's Code of Conduct, including its reporting requirements, can lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Indian fintech KreditBee's new funding valuation approaches $700 million TechCrunch
By imgfloco News 6 January 2023 Updated: 6 January 2023 No Comments2 Mins Read
Indian fintech firm KreditBee has raised another $100 million in a funding round, saying the bank hopes to expand its presence in the South Asian market.
The new cash infusion is Part of Larger Series D Funding, which KreditBee says has now closed at $200 million. The new funding, led by Advent International, values the Bengaluru-based startup at about $680 million, according to people familiar with the matter.
KreditBee, whose backers also include Mirae Asset Venture Investments, Premiji Invest and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, offers instant microloans as low as $12 to new credit customers and over $3,500 in credit to salaried professionals. The company said it hopes to serve 400 million new credit customers in India.
Thin data from India's credit bureaus has made it difficult for banks and other financial institutions to build confidence in extending credit to the vast majority of the South Asian market's population.
The labyrinth of fintech firms using modern underwriting systems to lend to clients and regulatory arbitrage — and more and more narrower and narrower – operate.
KreditBee is partnering with 10 banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to finance the loans, it said.
"We are delighted to welcome Advent as a long-term financial and strategic partner. This strengthens our confidence in our profitable business model and its long-term sustainability. This latest round of funding will help us achieve our goal of serving the country's 400+ million middle-income population vision," KreditBee co-founder and CEO Madhusudan Ekambaram said in a statement.
The startup said it is on track to grow its assets under management to more than $1 billion within the next six to nine months.
Its new funding comes when deal activity has been completed sharp slowdown In India, investors have turned cautious about writing new checks and evaluating their underwriting models after valuations of listed companies plummeted.
"KreditBee has witnessed multiple credit cycles and has grown stronger each time, reflecting the adaptability and resilience of its business model. With this investment, we are strengthening our commitment to support KreditBee's vision," said Mirae Asset Venture Investments, India CEO Ashish Dave said in a statement.

Before any design can begin, I have to get to know who you are and what your goals are. It doesn't matter if you sell plumbing, toothbrushes or circus elephants. Something must inspire you to do what you do and that "thing" will help me design something for you that is truly unique. Each job is different, so my rates vary depending on the scope of the task at hand.
Once I have the skeleton of what your project requires, it's time for caffeine and a pen and pencil. I don't usually get my best ideas by staring at my computer. I sketch and write and try to get to the heart of what will make your web site, logo or brochure, custom fit your needs. Ultimately, graphic design should look good, but it is also crucial that it functions well and that the end user is able to understand it.
As the project nears completion you will be asked to make any final edits, or changes. I want my clients to be very happy with the end result.

[Herb Phelps], you flat out and totally ROCK! I think you are the best example of added value I have ever seen. I flat out HATE insurance, but I sure do LOVE my insurance rep!
I worked with Tanisha on securing a certificate for our HOA. She was prompt, efficient and very pleasant to work with. Outstanding service!


Small, compact and discreet, the Ego AIO ECO from Joyetech is easy to use and comes with a very long-lasting battery. Ideal for vapers who want a simple, all-in-one device suitable for high nicotine e-liquids.
Sometimes you want a device that doesn't shout out to the world you are vaping. If that's you, the Ego AIO ECO is perfect. The small size and the smaller amount of vapour it produces (while still producing a decent throat hit) makes it ultra-discreet.
It's also incredibly easy to use. This is an all-in-one device which is operated by a simple click of the power button.
The Ego AIO ECO comes with a long lasting battery. A combination of ECO technology and low power output means that a fully charged battery can last 350 puffs between charges (testing based on 2-3 second puffs).
The Ego is designed for use with high nicotine e-liquids, but also works with lower strength e-liquids.
