Midas mchenry is your one-stop shop for brakes, oil changes, tires and all your auto repair needs.
This is the only place we trust with our cars!
I am vary a happy with the job they did and the price was vary good. I love the fact that they did not try to sell me everything thing under the sun like most places do. I will be bring my truck back for service just because of how honest they where with me. Thanks!
Always a great experience when going to the McHenry Midas. This occasion I stopped in to get two headlight bulbs changed. Work is always done in a timely manner. Will and Larry are always great to deal with in the office. One of the only Auto Repair shops I trust!
It was fairly fast, they reviewed my cars needs and I was done!
Best price oil change for a synthetic blend around. Very quick and friendly.
Good job. No one tried to "push" extra repairs. Refreshing.
I have always been satisfied with the service. They are very willing to answer any questions i may have and in a way i can understand.
One of the managers, Will, is always very polite and helpful. He does his best to fit your car in and lets you know what it will cost to the best of his knowledge. I have had good service the past couple of times that I have come there and am grateful for their knowledge and good work.
I received excellent service! Manager and service man were friendly and provided prompt service!
I really appreciate the fact that this shop does not appear to be driven solely by the up-sell. They completed the work as asked, offered suggestions, and that was the end of it. No high pressure to add more work. I came here after joint down the road charged me about $200 for brake work that I am convinced they never performed, all while still trying to sell me on a myriad other things that should be fixed right away.
I recently just started going to Midas for all my car services rather than taking my vehicle to the dealership where they would charge me double the price .I've never had an issue with the guys are they always really nice and always make sure that I know what needs to be done on my vehicle. The location is always clean the guys are always friendly and I'm always greeted with a smile and Hi how are you how can I help you. they never make me feel like I'm being pressured into getting those things done so I appreciate the wonderful customer service and the detail that the guys take when they are working on my vehicle they even notice that I need a new wiper blades I do appreciate that thank you keep up the good work and the wonderful customer service that you guys deliver. Have recommended you guys to at least three people that I know already and they have also come back and said wonderful thing that's about you guys.. I work in the customer industry so I do appreciate it when a company does a good job in the customer industry service. I will be continuing to return for all of my car needs thank you!
Very nice people, feel we can trust them with our safety. No charge for tire rotation with oil change--nice gesture we appreciate (not true of every Midas).
Great people doing great work!
Always have been treated like a valued customer! Highly recommended!
Always receive professional, courteous service at McHenry Midas. Any vehicle service issues are fully explained, if not included in quoted price. Midas coupons are cheerfully accepted. Yes, I definitely would recommend McHenry Midas.
The guys did a great job on the task I asked them to do.. Very professional!
They were very helpful and took their time explaining. Great service, I'll definitely be returning in the future!
Midas staff was courteous and professional. They explained to me what needed to be done and then again to my husband who was not there. Parts were ordered and installed sooner that anticipated and work completed as described. Very well satisfied with their work and would highly recommend to others.
I would recommend Midas to everyone and I have.
I came in with a 15 year old beater used as a 3rd family utilty car. I understand the need for upselling the entire muffler system that I could have opted for, but the explanation that I offered for fixing just the problem section was accepted and dealt with cheerfully and quickly. I appreciate that and will be back with perhaps a more elaborate need next time.
Larry Haines and McHenry Midas!
I get my vehicle serviced all over the country , the best service is right here in McHenry at my local Midas! Larry and the gang are always accomadating , on time and competitively priced. I'll go out of my way to have my vehicles worked on at this location!
Service was done quickly and done right. Reasonable prices and great service cannot be beat.
This Midas has always been honest and forth coming in all matters concerning my vehicle, and they take time with you on the phone to go over options before you bring your vehicle in.. would recommend to anyone!
Installed 3 sets of bad axles before I volunteered to buy and pick up re-manufactured Subaru axles that worked fine. i do not blame the local Midas shop, although after the second set and researching the internet the local shop should have realized the problem.
My check engine light came on. I took it to CarX and was quoted a price to fix which I thought was very high. Then I called Midas was given a quote over the phone which was much cheaper. Took it in and my car was fixed very quickly. Same price quoted over the phone. Staff was very friendly. I would gladly take there again for more repairs when needed.
Had loud noise from my car they fixed same day quick!!!
In arriving to Midas in McHenry, I received great customer service, with a fast response in fixing my car! The job done was amazing and while waiting in their clean lobby there is useful information to read up upon to brush up your car knowledge! Thank you very much and see you next time!

I had a car hitch installed across town and the manufacturer of the hitch did not suggest putting the heat shield back on under the muffler. I decided to have it done anyway and Midas in McHenry performed the task in about 20 minutes at a very reasonable cost. I have gone to Midas for 20 years any they have always done a great job.
I never feel as I am being scammed into repairs. Everything is explained into detail. Recommendations made professionally. Love going to Midas!
It was great, easy in-easy out!
I once brought my car to the local magician place until I called for an estimate which all of the sudden doubled after the work was done with no complications; at least I'm not sure how a trans fluid change and brake fluid flush could double a quote that included parts and labor. I paid and decided to take my car elsewhere. My experience with Midas has been excellent, and their synthetic oil change with tire rotation is hard to beat, but ran into an issue a couple days ago. When I brought my car in I knew the little things that needed to be fixed and after the free inspections I'd never be asked to have something fixed outside my cars maintenance schedule. I had one of 2 license plate lights out, and got a call to fix it while I got my oil change, tire rotation, and tire balance. It was going to be the cost of a bulb, about 3 dollars, plus 10 dollars for labor. I agreed to have the bulb changed and ok'ed the work. When I arrived to pay and picked up my car the price seemed higher and the mechanic at Midas had changed both license plate bulbs so I was charged 6 bucks for the bulbs and 20 dollars for the labor. I was quite ticked, so again I will be finding another local mechanic to get my work done where I am not charged more than I am quoted. 13 dollars extra isn't that much, but if I am to use them for anything major I don't want to make a scene over a service error. Customers need to be extremely specific about the work being done.
I would like to thank all of you for the excellent work that you did on our car. Clyde & Diane D.
I know when I bring my car into the McHenry Midas they are looking out for my best interest. I always feel safe with them for my car repair and maintenance needs.
Your staff did a great job finding the issue related to the growling noise coming from under the car. Took it back to Toyota and its still covered under warrenty. Best news Thanks for your time.
The Midas team in McHenry always provides exceptional service whenever I come in, which has made them my preferred shop for regular car maintenance. Highly recommended!
The wait was a bit long but the service was very good and professional.
My local Midas provided great service at a great cost.
I love going into Midas in Mchenry because the people are always so friendly. I have been taking my car to them on and off for a couple years now and I can honestly say I prefer them over anyone else. They do a phenomenal job and it's relevantly fast too.
My son brought his car in for oil change and they notified him of other item that will need attention. there was no pressure to have repairs done then. Great service.
Once again the service at Midas was great and the coupons make it more affordable. Thank you.
I am very happy with the service and work I have had on my truck and my mom's car. I tried other places but there work is not good, I will only go to Midas now.
I had an appointment and they got me in and out in a timely matter.
I always have a good experience at Midas. I feel you are being honest and very helpful.
My car really needed an alignment, but every time I went somewhere to fix it, they tried to make me buy more. Midas did the job and let me go. It did take a long time, but they didn't make me pay anymore.
Made appointment online. Vehicle was taken in shortly after I arrived. Oil change was complete in 20 minutes. Would highly recommend.
I have taken my vehicles to this location for the past couple of years, and the customer service and willingness to please is exceptional. I mostly deal with Arthur and Ryan and they are always very helpful and accommodating!
Always accommodating. If anything else needs work that they may notice they mention it. Fair prices great service.
After a nightmare at a close competitor Midas reinstated my trust that reliable honest and fast service can still be found. I would say that is worth paying a little more for but this place consistently comes in with the lower price to fix things. I am done shopping around. Let the competition be warned treating customers decently pays off big time!!!!!!
I will not only recommend Midas, I will boast about how they performed a miracle! I thought I would need a very expensive heater coil repair job, but they looked at my problem, recommended a radiator flush, and voila! My heat was working again, without tearing my car apart! I think any other station may have gone ahead with the costly repair job, but Midas was honest and knew exactly where the problem stemmed from! I am so grateful! I left in tears of gratitude! They are miracle workers for sure!
Very happy with the service I receive. I have a 14 year old Durango and Larry and his staff are extremely helpful and get my vehicle fixed reasonably and quickly.

Published October 1st 2008 by Harcourt.
This book is what I would call a classic, good High fantasy. It has a lot of aspects I look for in a fantasy; 'magical' powers, interesting plot and fun characters. And you might know me by now and my antipathy for most romances, but I adored this one!
I loved all the different Graces and how people use them in their normal life. Being a Graceling means being feared and almost shunned by others, especially Katsa. For her Grace is deadly and she is used by her uncle to spread fear and obedience. It was fun seeing her grow into her Grace.
Katsa is a wonderful character. She is incredibly strong and intelligent, but what I loved about her was the fact that she shows her vulnerable, soft side. It made her realistic and it shows that she isn't perfect. I always appreciate complexity in characters. The fact that she starts a Rebellion against her uncle made me admire her and her courage. Her banters with Po were adorable.
Po comes very close to being too perfect. He has a special Grace he must hide from everyone and he is the only one who comes close to Katsa's fighting level. I still liked him and I shipped them together like crazy. There was something between them, that spark I look for in romance. Not only that, there is enough time to make it believable for me. When Katsa finally stand up against her uncle, she flees together with Po on an important mission. Po's grandfather was kidnapped by one of the neighbor kingdoms and they must find out who and why? They develop a friendship on their journey and it brings them in a dangerous situation. This was an interesting plot and I liked the villain.
We're also introduced to some other characters. Not all of them are completely fleshed out, but I feel like I know enough of them to make them stand-out as individuals. I especially liked the young Bitterblue, who complicates the case with her appearance. I'm definitely intrigued to find out more about Bitterblue. Cashore showed me that she knows how to write. An easy writing-style, an engaging plot and a solid world-building, I can't ask for more.
This book is GREAT! I loved it soooo much. The rest of the series is pretty good too.I just want to read whatever Cashore has next for her readers, though I haven't heard about any new projects.
Yes, I've heard it's more a companion story, so I'm aware of that :) I look forward to it! I don't mind less action-packed, as long as the characters are intriguing enough, but thanks for the warning!
I loved this book too, Mel!! The relationship between Po and Katsa is really well-developed and I SHIP THEM SO HARD <3 Sometimes I felt Katsa was a little too stubborn (like the marriage part) but overall, I think she's a consistent character! Glad you loved this too, Mel!!
I'm sometimes a little too stubborn for my own good too, so I understand her, haha.
I love this book and this series overall! Bitterblue wasn't just as good as this but it was nice to see what was happening with all the characters from Graceling and even from Fire - which is another great read!
Graceling is one of my favorite books ever!!! But I LOVED Fire even more! It was so amazing. I think what I loved more about it was the sexual tension between the characters! But like some of the commenters said, Fire isn't really a sequel is more a companion/prequel. And it's weird that you didn't get to see the map. My paperback has one at the beginning of the book. Great review!
It appeared that my pages were stuck together, so I completely overlooked it! Carina helped me realize this, so now I'm able to see the map and I've adjusted my review. Thanks for telling me ;)!
Shipping, interesting plot and a villain that one can like sounds perfect! I want to meet Katsa after being introduced to a couple of okay fantasy heroines. She sounds badass!
I really wish I had the other two books. This series asks for a binge-read! I have to wait 't til I get the other two. I might go to the library.
I am so GLAD you enjoyed this Mel!
I absolutely adored this when I first read it, even if the other two books in this series did nothing for me.
Po and Katsa are such wonderful characters and it was so fun to watch them finally get together.
I always wanted to read this book, but since I'm not a huge fan of High Fantasy I never really put it on the top of my pile. However, your review sounds amazing. I think I might give it a chance.
I really want to meet Po!
The villain's Grace is just TOO CRAZY THOUGH.
YAY for liking the romance! Banter? Rebellion against one's family? Oh, yeeesshh. I'm so excited to meet Po, everyone loves this guy. Bad. Also, yay for great individual characters and I hope that this series will be a huge success for you (if you haven't already read the following books). Great review, Mel!
No, still haven't. I need to get some copies!
Awesome, I still need to read this one and it makes me excited to see that you loved it! I can also be hard to please when it comes to romances, so it's encouraging you like this one. And the Graces sound cool!
Most romances don't work for me, so that might be a good sign for you too!
I have a copy of this one, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully I will too!
It took me quite some time to chew through this one but in the end, it was soo good!
I'm not a listener, but I can see that this would turn out great in an audio bok!
I'm so glad you liked this one! Will you be reading Fire? I have yet to start that one, because it's a prequel and I don't know if I want to leave Katsa.
Oh yes, if I had a copy I'd have read it by now!
Sounds amazing, I have to read this soon it's been on my shelf forever. I really enjoy YA high fantasies because they don't overcook it with the plot. Great review!
I think I'm going to have to add Graceling to my March TBR after reading your review. It's been sitting on my bookcase for about a year now, and now I really want to read it!
Honestly, I had no idea what this book was actually about but I'm extremely intrigued now. I want to know about the Graces; I want to know more about Katsa and I love that there's time for the romance to develop!
I should reread this. I liked it but I read it right after Twilight at a time when people were using it as a weapon for Twilight - and in my Twilight induced haze, that annoyed me. i think I'd like it more now.
I really liked Graceling, because of the great plot and the graces. I thought they were very interesting! Katsa frustrated me at times, but I do agree with you on Bitterblue as I really liked her!
So happy you liked this one Mel!! I loved this whole series, but Fire might have been my favourite. It's just so...colorful!
And I loved how Po managed to work his way closer to Katsa; watching their friendship develop was so touching.
This is one of my favorites, so I'm so glad that you liked it! :) I liked the other books in the series too. I'm actually ready for more! This series reminds me a little of Throne of Glass. Great review!
So happy you liked this one Mel. This series is one of my all time favorites. The world. The writing. The romance. So so well done all around.
This is one of my favorite books, I adore it! I am not a big fantasy reader, but this book made me feel like I should be! I'm so happy I found it and I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!
"'magical' powers, interesting plot and fun characters. And you might know me by now and my antipathy for most romances, but I adored this one!" -- YAYYAYAYAY. (Are you really anti most romances? I'm a huge romance reader, just an anti romance person when I think it's not too well or taking too much time.). It's interesting that that's what you associate with high fantasy too! Because there are actually quite a few that don't involve any magical powers :O. Like the Queen's Thief series.
"I loved all the different Graces and how people use them in their normal life." -- Agreed. It's not a new concept, supernatural powers like that, but Cashore does a really great job of making them feel pretty ordinary and extraordinary at the same time, huh?
"Katsa is a wonderful character. She is incredibly strong and intelligent, but what I loved about her was the fact that she shows her vulnerable, soft side. It made her realistic and it shows that she isn't perfect. I always appreciate complexity in characters. The fact that she starts a Rebellion against her uncle made me admire her and her courage. Her banters with Po were adorable." -- YES. All of Cashore's heroines are like this. I don't think you'll like Fire quite as much as you like Kasta... She might be your least favorite of the 3, but I'm curious what you'd say if you continued to read the other two companions :D.
"Po comes very close to being too perfect. He has a special Grace he must hide from everyone and he is the only one who comes close to Katsa's fighting level. I still liked him and I shipped them together like crazy." -- Oh, yes. This is why I am not a huge fan of Po. He's adorable, but to me, tooooo perfect. There are a couple of male main characters in YA who've felt kinda like him to me (the character in the Burning Sky & Tarver from These Broken Stars). Doesn't mean they're not awesome characters, just makes it harder for me to ship them... though it sounds like you didn't have that problem :D?
-Most romances don't work for me, so when I find one they are super special and I'm always extra fangirly. That's a positive side :p I know that High Fantasy doesn't have to mean magical stuff, but I do like it when they add it!
-I'm very curious to see what I think about Fire (and Bitterblue :D) I will read them as soon as I get them!


Surveying recent discussions about different approaches to writing, I spied a glaring gap. Little, if anything, has been said about the essential avoidance strategies available to the seasoned writer embarking on a new project.
For instance, the meticulous lining-up of pens, pencils and paperclips along an arbitrarily ruled straight line on the desk (if using the old-fashioned, pre-computer approach). Even before that, deciding whether a cup of tea, or should it be coffee, is the better way to kick off the working day? And should that beverage go with a chocolate biscuit, or is a slice or two of toast with honey or preserves called for?
For some, the answer to undertaking a really rewarding day's work may involve preparation of what's known as a 'Full English' – various breakfast combinations of egg, bacon, toast, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, fried bread, orange juice, etc. Which can take up to the best part of an hour.
Or should one instead adopt the 'muscular aesthete' kind of pre-writing routine that entails a vigorous gymnastic workout to get the circulation of blood flowing, especially in cranial regions? Yet again, a more holistic, yoga-type experience may be just the thing to get you in a Zen frame of mind. And what if summoning the creative Zeitgeist actually involves a nice, long walk, with or without a dog, or perhaps a spot of double-digging in the garden.
Whatever your particular approach, a really successful avoidance strategy should aim at taking the day in question to the point where it is no longer a viable entity for doing any work at all. One where you would be better off shopping for (and then lovingly preparing) a particularly complex dinner - if need be preceded by a round of golf, game of tennis, tea with friends, or challenging DIY project.
If said dinner were to be something like authentic bouillabaisse made from scratch, it's not inconceivable that sourcing ingredients, grinding shells, etc, could take the whole thing into a really productive run of several consecutive days of absence from the keyboard.
Modern technology has made available a whole new range of enhanced avoidance strategies. From dealing with essential emails or text messages, in which one exchanges jokes and banter with like-minded idiots, to reading the morning papers online, arguing the toss in the comments sections, or even finishing that game of internet chess. For today's author, the world is a digital oyster.
It could be profitable, for instance, to determine the weather forecast not just for this day but for the whole week ahead. If sunshine is predicated, who would argue that the sensible will make hay while they can, and save the nerdy stuff for a rainy day?
A word of warning. Advanced avoidance strategies are not for beginners, nor the faint-hearted. For each individual, it will be important to define the particular avoidance routines that suits them best. These can often be a matter of trial and error. On occasion – whisper it not in Gath - you may even find yourself experimenting with an avoidance strategy that actually is not preferable to sitting down and writing.
On the whole, this is unlikely.
I enjoyed reading this very much. Very well done. I liked the way you illustrated the "excuses." Made me laugh in recognition, and is that not how we want readers to resonate with our writings?
first let me say I LOVE, LOVE, the chalk board message, it says it all, and reminds me of....me lol. I think this article was very well written and good to go.
Wow....I have used all these excuses and thought of them as preparations. Now realizing I haven't written a thing but used the day as preparation of what is to come..the greatness, the novel....when nothing came at all. Now years later I realize I must really begin. Today, not trying to make excuses, I said I will find a great help center. I did not want to fog my mind so I just drank water over and over again. For clarity and hydration. Then I found this site and feel inspired. I will write everyday is my pledge. Please help and keep me encouraged and accountable.
Gary has thrown down a challenge here. Is it betterr to have pre-prepared 'Excuses of the Day' for not getting on with stuff, or is it a more imaginative challenge to make them up as one goes along?
A bit of a chin-scratcher.
Funny and pointed. I happen to be the King of Procrastination. I avoid writing by imagining all kinds of excuses. When that part is finished, then I use the Excuse of the Day. It's really pathetic.

Met arrests police officer over 'plebgate'
Andrew Mitchell denied using the world 'pleb' to describe a 'member of the lower social classes'
Monday, 17 December 2012 8:52 AM
By politics.co.uk staff
A police officer has been arrested and bailed in connection with the 'plebgate' incident that led to Andrew Mitchell's resignation from the Cabinet.
The Metropolitan police said in a statement the officer, a member of its diplomatic protection group, was held on Saturday evening but was not on duty at the time.
Mitchell faced weeks of pressure before finally quitting over allegations that he called a police officer who refused to let him into Downing Street on site "plebs".

The chief whip and former international development secretary apologised, met members of the Police Federation and avoided the Conservative party's autumn conference in Birmingham, but was finally forced to resign as public anger about his rant – and what it said about the ruling Conservatives – forced him to quit.
Now a Met officer has been accused of misconduct in public office. The arrest is thought to relate to the way in which reports of the exchange emerged in the Sun and Telegraph newspapers.
"The arrest is linked to previous inquiries by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) as to how internal MPS information was obtained by national newspapers following an incident at Downing Street in September," the Met's statement added.
"These inquiries found no evidence to suggest any of the officers involved in the incident were involved in the unauthorised release of information."
Lord Justice Leveson's recent report on the culture, practice and ethics of the press recommended police whistleblowers should report their concerns internally rather than go to journalists.

Education is essential to success, both for individuals and for the economy. Higher educational attainment is clearly linked to increased earnings and decreased unemployment, and workforce preparedness is essential to attracting and retaining desirable corporate locations. In spite of these well-documented facts, funding for education continues to fall further behind the needs of students.
A recent decision by the Texas Supreme Court found that the Texas school finance system is constitutional (though severely flawed), thereby taking some pressure off of legislators to improve it. While some leaders have vowed to try to move forward, others have indicated no desire to tackle the issue if not compelled to do so or even aggressively proposed diverting additional resources away from the public school system. The reality is that Texas lags virtually every other state in the United States (and all of the major competitors for high quality economic growth) in terms of per-pupil spending (as I've discussed in prior columns) and the gap is widening.
The irony is that investments in education actually pay for themselves many times over when you consider the benefits, which range from increased productivity to decreased needs for social services. I recently ran some numbers to help inform the debate. The results were, frankly, startling.
A starting point methodology for estimating returns on investments in education (over and above the bare minimums to keep the doors open) was developed and used in an October 2006 study by Henry Levin, Clive Belfield, Peter Muennig, and Cecilia Rouse ("The Costs and Benefits of an Excellent Education for All of America's Children"). The study, supported by a grant to Columbia University and involving scholars from Columbia and Princeton, looked at the costs and effectiveness of programs designed to increase high school graduation rates.
The authors also looked at lifetime public benefits of graduating from high school such as higher tax revenues and lower government spending on health, crime, and welfare. They did not include private benefits such as higher earnings, nor did they consider the multiplier effects through the economy. Even with those limitations, though, the study did a good job of looking at the direct effects of incremental educational spending.
Starting with this method, I derived direct effects for Texas, updating as needed and otherwise adjusting to reflect the current situation. I also converted the analysis to reflect the effects per dollar of additional State investment in education (over and above current levels). I then calculated the full effects (including spinoff and productivity gains) using my US Multi-Regional Impact Assessment System, which I originally developed more than 30 years ago and have since used in hundreds of analyses for corporations, communities, and government agencies.
The results speak for themselves. The long-term return per dollar of incremental State investment in education is $49.69 in additional spending throughout the economy. This includes $15.09 in direct private sector benefits from the increased productivity and earnings of the affected students, $27.47 in multiplier effects from the direct production, $6.12 in government revenues ($2.01 direct from earners and $4.11 indirect), $1.01 in reduced social costs to governments ($0.59 in health costs reductions, $0.38 in crime-related costs, and $0.04 in welfare costs). All of these long-term values are discounted at a 3% real rate to convert to a net present value (NPV) basis and are expressed in constant (2016) dollars to take out any effects of inflation.
Looking at other measures of business activity indicates each dollar generates $22.95 in output (gross product) and $14.11 in personal income. These are not additive with the items above, but rather different views of the overall effect.
As a mode of comparison, the long-term economic return on a dollar spent in a typical private sector initiative is about $2.82, while the highest multiplier of any private sector industry (petroleum refining) is $16.51. The private return on public education spending is only about $2.40 (in terms of spillover activity to the provision of education services), thus indicating that it is the very essence of a public good worthy of substantial commitment with external benefits far exceeding private ones. This $49.69 return is also well above that for other public investments, such as transportation infrastructure ($7.62).
Even beyond these numbers is the value of civic participation and volunteerism, which increase with education, and the sheer pleasure of knowledge and discovery. These numbers also don't capture the competitive advantage wrought by a superior workforce.
What if I told you about an investment that would yield almost $50 for every $1 you invested? What if on top of that, it improved lives, increased volunteerism, and otherwise paid major dividends to individuals and society? A "no brainer," right? Similar logic applies to strategic investments by the State in public education, and it's irrational and shortsighted to ignore the tremendous return on this particular investment of taxpayer dollars.
Future prosperity, both for individuals and for society, depends on education. There is more at stake than many people seem to realize. It is essential that our vision extend beyond the next two-year budget cycle and that we provide sufficient resources to ensure we are not setting up a downward spiral in our way of life for generations to come.

Problems of Modern Mind: Religion, Science and Philosophy
Religion essentially requires man to prioritise his role as a coherent being and recognise his responsibilities towards his Creator and rest of the creation.
"In fact such thinking has misplaced both science and philosophy. It has also given rise to so many erroneous challenges to religion. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand each subject in its own place.' GK Layout Desk
Dr Nazir Ahmad Zargar
Philosophy was the science of olden days. And now science has assumed the position of philosophy of our days. Science has since intervened in the sphere of philosophy with this perspective.
In fact, the problem with contemporary rationality is that it has intermixed pure philosophic issues with science. Interrelationship of science and philosophy has become vague. Let us elaborate in simple terms:
A student is given to understand that the essence of philosophy is rational study of nature and the universe. It is also claimed that it is the study of nature alone which is the ultimate source of knowledge.
Saying that philosophy and religion have common ground because the issues which philosophy deals with includes creation, judgment, predestination, good and evil, ethics and various issues related to the individual and the society are the same as have already been dealt with by religion, amounts to making category mistake.
In fact such thinking has misplaced both science and philosophy. It has also given rise to so many erroneous challenges to religion. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand each subject in its own place.
Philosophy is actually knowing the real fact, what and how it is. It is practical as well as theoretical. Practical philosophy includes knowing those actions which are in our control. They include ethics and domestic economy (tadbῑr al-manzil) and politics. Theoretical philosophy includes Physics, Metaphysics and Mathematics.
The fundamental branch of philosophy is study of nature (physics) while its top most realm is that of metaphysics.
The former is a means to the later. So it must be born in mind that means never become end in themselves. Keeping this fact in view it can be said that science has intervened into various branches of philosophy including metaphysics.
It is important to see that if this intervention does not prove counterproductive to any of the branches of philosophy then it will be a welcome intervention otherwise it will create a plethora of confusions in our understanding of science itself apart from philosophy and religion.
True revealed religion basically deals with aqā'id (beliefs), ibādāt (worship, where in a narrow sense only rituals are included), mu'āmalāt (transactions), mu'āsharat (social relationships) and akhlāqiyāt (ethics). Factually, religion shares these issues with the basic issues of philosophy excluding mathematics and physics.
Mathematics and physics are not basic issues of religion. Why? Because religion is basically concerned about the interrelation of the Creator and the creation. Its fundamental and foremost objective is to know and fulfill the rights of the Creator (huqūq Allah) and of the creation (huqūq al-'Ibād) for the pleasure of the Creator (ikhlās).
That is why the Shari'ah deals with such issues which are related to the welfare of beings and shares them with philosophy unlike mathematics and physics which don't have anything to do with the rights of the Creator and the creation. These subjects are not the end in religion but means to the end.
Hence, unlike science, in religion, the study of nature is not an end in itself but natural phenomena and the material world provides signs for those who think and reflect.
This is the reason why no exhaustive details are provided in the Qur'an about the things that are not its objectives but are simply means to the ultimate objective.
For example, trying to know where the stars are situated in the heavens can be a laudable venture to know but making man accountable for this is against the Divine Compassion and Love, as knowing the universe is not the objective but means to the objective, which is to know the Creator and the Creator-creation relationship in a wider perspective.
This clearly makes us understand that study of nature and science as such is a means to the end not the ultimate objective of true knowledge. Hence, stretching the boundaries of physics beyond its limits, amounts to the demolition of the edifice of knowledge and thought itself and degrading religion and philosophy at the same time.
Religion is above philosophy also because, for instance, Religious teachings of ethics and morality are far better and effective than philosophical teachings.
Consciousness and gnosis of God is the basis of all ethics. In religious ethics earning the pleasure of the Creator is essential whereas the philosophers have no knowledge of radā e ilāhῑ (Pleasure of God).
The immediate benefit of God consciousness is that a believer will never get dejected and despaired whereas it has been seen that philosophers have hardly experienced mental peace and solace.
Then even the intention behind earning the divine pleasure is also of two kinds: one, to earn the divine pleasure for peace. This is shirk; two, to earn the divine pleasure for the above all purpose of pleasing God.
This is the ultimate destination of all the pursuits to knowledge for a believer. Has any Aristotle, Socrates, or Plato ever smelt this fragrance of religion? Hence, knowledge is in infancy when it is scientific, it assumes adolescence in philosophy and it matures completely in religion.
If this is the position of the science of the olden times then what can be the position of the philosophy of the contemporary time?
Now, coming to the modern mind which experiences so many mental dilemmas when it becomes judgmental without understanding the fact discussed above very briefly.
The confusions which unfortunately are mostly about religion are because:
Firstly, confusions about religion are basically because of spiritual illnesses but confused people do not consider them result of any spiritual illness. Had these confusions been understood as spiritual illnesses, the patient would have consulted a proper person to cure them. A doctor would have been consulted to cure the mind.
Secondly, self-reliance at every level is ignorance in the matters of knowledge because above every knowledgeable person is one who is more knowledgeable. Relying upon one's findings and understanding leads sometimes to erroneous conclusions.
Thirdly, not accepting expert opinion simply because it is other's is again result of the same kind of illness in which one considers himself to be the only giant in the field.
Tail piece
In the modern times ambiguity in the interrelationship of science and philosophy has resulted in serious setback to the principles of scholasticism.
This has not only caused confusions in understanding the nature of philosophy but has also given a wrong signal to science to poke into the realms of philosophy and more seriously religion.
As a result truth, in whatever form, scientific, philosophical or religious becomes the greatest casualty.

Every year, dozens of Star Wars books are released. Novels, comics, encyclopedias, and more. But there's only a few that really delve into the material. This book – full title The Science of Star Wars – The Scientific Facts Behind the Force, Space Travel, and More! – does exactly that. It looks at technology from the Galaxy Far, Far Away and determines if it might be useful to us in the future. It demonstrates the effect Star Wars has already had on scientists. And it calculates just much Galactic credits Emperor Palpatine must have spent building his elusive Death Star.
All of this is written in a style that's easy to follow. As the back of the book says, you don't need to be a Jedi or a scientist to appreciate all of Mark Brake and Jon Chase's fun and informative analysis of this classic series.
However, you do have to be somewhat invested in reading this book. It's not something you'll be reading a chapter from every night before going to bed. Some questions are delved into deeper than others, but all of them will give the reader something to ponder. So take your time when reading, or you won't get the most out of this book.
The Science of Star Wars isn't the first book with this subject matter. In fact, it's not even the first book titled The Science of Star Wars. It ís the first one that uses The Force Awakens and other material from the new canon to make its points. Kylo Ren, BB-8, and even a forgotten comet from the Aftermath novel are all referenced and ponderd. Such references are certainly a great addition to this type of book, making it a study of the whóle universe.
The main question is of course whether or not this study is actually useful. The answer: partially. The authors don't always have answers to their own queries… but that's not always really the point. More important is the reader getting something out of it in terms of material to ponder. And a majority of chapters succeed in giving you something to think about.
Questions like "What exactly is the Force?" will make the philosophical braincells go into overtime. But it gets even more interesting when Star Wars is used to reinforce the science in our own world. Chapters like "How has Star Wars influenced space culture and space travel?" are highlights of the book, pointing out several real scientific projects that strongly resemble concepts first seen in our favourite film series. And "How could droids like BB-8 help us explore Mars?" provides interesting speculation about the future.
All in all, The Science of Star Wars is an interesting look at the Galaxy Far, Far Away. But it's not for everyone. Don't give it to your little brother this Christmas… But maybe consider jotting it down on your own wishlist!

From Nov. 24: The locks on your home, office, and car are most likely mechanical. This means they use a piece of metal fashioned as a key to open them. They have been around for hundreds of years and rely upon internal elements that are moved or activated by different variations in each key that correspond with their unique measurements.

"People say, 'My house got broken into. Something's missing. I don't know how it happened. How'd they get in? There's no forced sign of entry.' So then they start looking at other sources. Was it someone who maybe had a key to their house, they start thinking, was it a housekeeper, when in fact it could've been someone using a bump key that could've just been a random burglar," said Assemblyman Dave Rible.

Auto theft is also a significant problem in many parts of the world and sophisticated gangs are quite adept at stealing cars, trucks, SUVs and just about anything that moves on highways. READ MORE
6. Local locksmiths: Sex offender's most recent arrest highlights dire need for licensing
Myrtlebeach Online
From April 7: In the wake of local locksmith and convicted sex offender, Panteleimon "Peter" Spirakis' most recent arrest, some locksmiths along the Grand Strand point to a need for legislation that regulates the industry in South Carolina. "If there isn't a law, there needs to be," Michelle Evans one of Spirakis' former customers said. Evans, a Myrtle Beach resident for more than 20 years, wanted to have her home rekeyed after going through a divorce and called Phil's Lock and Key, who she had used before under the previous owner.

7. Indiana hit hard by locksmith price scheme
From May 19: When Steve Kline learned one of his employees was locked out of her car, he looked online to find her help. "I found a locksmith company that said it could do the job for $20," said Kline, who owns a property management company in Indianapolis. "I said 'Can you be there quickly?' They said 'Yeah, no problem. We'll be there any minute.' So I thought we were all set." But neither of those claims was true. READ MORE
8. Locksmiths tools of the trade, in the field — Automotive
Tech Featured
From Nov. 17: Moving outside of the office and into the field is hardly an uncommon scenario for the locksmith. A large majority of work undertaken is done out of the shop and in emergency situations that require the locksmith to be mobile. Automotive work requires precision instruments, tools, in order for the locksmith to complete his or her job in a timely, secure and professional manner especially when dealing with a clientèle who are often times scared, nervous and unsure.

9. Recent cyberattack reveals reality of smart home device vulnerability
From Oct. 27: The huge cyberattack that crippled the Internet and disabled dozens of websites appeared to be the biggest attack of its kind that the world has ever seen. But it may not hold that title for for long. What made last week's Internet takedown so effective — and, some would say, sinister — was how the attackers weaponized everyday devices like security cameras, digital video recorders and baby monitors.

10. Colossal merger may be a defining moment for the security industry
Security Info Watch
From Jan. 28: One of the biggest trends in the security industry in recent years among hardware vendors and service providers alike has been increased consolidation — as companies look to increase their share of the pie in a market that remains highly fragmented. Recently, systems integration giants Johnson Controls and Tyco became the latest household names in security to join the growing list of companies that have come to embody this trend, as they announced plans to merge the two organizations.

Edmé-Gilles Guyot (1706–1786) was a French mail clerk,[1] physician, postmaster, cartographer, inventor and author on the subject of mathematics, physics and magic. He experimented with optical illusions and with the theory behind performance magic. His developments into the apparent appearance of ghosts, using the projection of a figure into smoke, helped to create the technology and techniques used in phantasmagoria.
1 Mathematics, science, and magic
1.1 Nouvelles recreations physiques et mathematiques
Mathematics, science, and magic[edit]
Manufacturer of conjuring apparatus and scientific instruments, Guyot was accused[2] of exploiting and revealing the tricks used at the time by magicians and science populizers like Nicolas-Philippe Ledru and François Pelletier. He created "magic theatres" for the aristocracy – small boxes that use lanterns and slides to create an animated story.[3] Guyot's work was influential in the development of magic lanterns and their use in phantasmagoria.[4][5] In 1770 he detailed a method of simultaneously using two different slides in this early projection device. His example was a sea that would become increasingly stormy, throwing around the ships that were sailing on it. He advised that the slides would need to be very carefully painted in order to create a realistic and beautiful animation. His writings on the subject were translated into English and German and were widely circulated around Europe.[6] His experiments led to the technique of projecting images onto smoke to create the appearance of ghostly apparitions.[7] In 1779 Guyot described the use of transformation slides in magic lanterns to create simple animations.[8]
Nouvelles recreations physiques et mathematiques[edit]
Guyot's four part book Nouvelles recreations physiques et mathematiques featured descriptions of experiments and examples of how various innovative mathematical and magical tricks could be performed. The book was first published in 1769 and included an explanation of the missing square puzzle,[9] building on the earlier work of Sebastiano Serlio.[10] It also includes detailed, illustrated techniques for the performance of the cups and balls trick that is regarded as being greatly influential.[11]
The book was translated into English by William Hooper, being released in 1774 without credit to Guyot.[3]

Villages by CA: start-ups boosting the local and regional economy
#Village by CA
Five years after the creation of the first Village by CA, the number of Villages has multiplied in France and internationally. Nearly 800 start-ups incubated and accelerated by Villages by CA are now serving territories, partners and customers. The ecosystem is contributing to the growth objectives of the Ambition 2022 Medium-Term Plan. So how does a Village by CA work? And what challenges are involved for the Group? Find out more in the form of infographics and a video.
Video: "Birth of a Village by CA in Val d'Europe", the Village by CA Brie Picardie
How does a Village by CA work?
Let's take the example of the recently created Village by CA Brie Picardie, located 30 km east of Paris.
A strategic location
The start-up accelerator has a surface area of 1,500 m2 and is located 200 m from the Val d'Europe RER suburban line train station, five minutes from the Chessy train station and ten minutes by train from Roissy airport. Val d'Europe is a few minutes from Disneyland Paris, the leading tourist destination in Europe.
Val d'Europe also has a population of 35,000, which is set to double between now and 2030. With its enviable ratio of nearly two jobs per resident working-age adult, Val d'Europe boasts strong economic momentum. It is home to over 5,000 businesses, with 400 new companies joining their ranks every year. The Brie Picardie Regional Bank will soon be relocating its Seine-et-Marne headquarters, currently in Meaux, to Val d'Europe.
In this socio-economic environment, it was natural for the Regional Bank to choose the priority themes of "sustainable cities, construction and homes" and the "tourism economy".
A further priority focus is "agri-food", a logical choice for Crédit Agricole and the arable plains of the Brie that skirt the area's new towns, represented by "local distribution networks", "top-level produce in cities" and "urban agriculture".
Partner businesses as ambassadors
The ecosystem of the Village was built through a substantial investment on the part of Crédit Agricole Brie Picardie, which is the Village's unique shareholder, as well as varying amounts of investment from partner businesses, comprising large companies along with mid-tier enterprises and SMEs.
Ambassador companies are those having made the greatest financial investments but also those who contribute on a daily basis to finding new markets for the start-ups and to testing their expertise in their own territories or business lines. Significant synergies are thus being unlocked day after day between start-ups and partners.
Selecting the start-ups
The Village currently supports eight start-ups. A second call for applications will double that number by the end of the year for a 12- to 24-month support period.
Applicant start-ups fill in an application and are then chosen by a selection committee comprising the Regional Bank and the Village's ambassador-partners (on the basis of one vote per entity) and, in addition, an expert partner with knowledge supplementing that of the panel.
Start-up commitments
Crédit Agricole does not automatically acquire a stake in the selected start-ups, but there is no obligation for the start-up to be a Crédit Agricole client. However, the start-ups commit to living the Village life, participating in events and dialoguing with each other. This is one of the key strengths of the incubator, which is much more than a co-working space or office rental arrangement. Lastly, by joining a Village by CA, start-ups are able to benefit from access to the network of Villages and meet other start-ups and partners working in the same fields.
Acceleration programme of Village by CA Ille-et-Vilaine
Map of Villages by CA
Websites of the Villages
Village by CA is designed as a venue for sharing and creation, its four main objectives being to:
foster the emergence of innovative projects and new talents;
help young companies to implement their solutions and succeed in their business;
promote, accelerate and disseminate innovation in all its forms;
contribute to the development of the local and regional economy.
The baseline of Village by CA expresses its ambition in these words: "Coopérer pour innover" (Cooperate to innovate).
Crédit Agricole Italy opened its first Village by CA in Milan a year ago. It is now home to 28 start-ups and 16 partners in the fields of gastronomy, fashion, furniture and FinTech. A second Italian Village will be opened in Parma in second-quarter 2020, followed by a third in La Spezia.
Crédit Agricole Ukraine also plans to open a Village by CA in the near future.
In 2018, the five entities of the Group operating in Luxembourg (CAMCA Assurance S.A., Amundi, CACEIS Bank, Crédit Agricole Life Insurance Europe and Indosuez Wealth Management) became a "Partner of the Village by CA network" by creating Hub Luxembourg. The Hub was built to enable start-ups from the Village by CA network to gain an opening to the markets of Luxembourg, Germany and Belgium.
The Village by CA model is also being duplicated by Crédit Agricole partner banks, including Norinchukin in Japan, which benefits from support from the coordination team of the network of Villages by CA of the FNCA.
Lastly, start-ups looking to expand internationally can already rely on an extensive worldwide network, notably through the business sites of Crédit Agricole CIB, including its premises in New York and Tokyo, which already host start-ups from the Village by CA network. Businesses with an international dimension partnering the project also make their premises and services available to start-ups in 25 cities (including London, Moscow, Shanghai, Seoul and Singapore).
In the long term, the Villages will form interconnected ecosystems around the world. Start-ups and large companies will be able to circulate within this ecosystem and form business relationships worldwide.
A network of Villages by CA contributing to the Group's innovation momentum
The Villages by CA network is part of the strategy of the Group Project on becoming the leading digital bank. To step up innovation momentum, 17 new Villages by CA are planned in France and Italy by 2020, for a total of 46 Villages and 900 accelerated start-ups.
But in addition to digital issues and its business corollaries, and notably to address competition from neo-banks, FinTech and InsurTech, the key objectives are also social, consisting in boosting the local and regional economy and developing employment.
Group and Regional Bank investment vehicles have also been created in order to invest in future "unicorns", i.e. start-ups having attained a valuation of at least $1 billion.
Boosting our territorial footprint
The Villages are also an opportunity to strengthen the territorial footprint of the Group, and the Regional Banks in particular, and to develop partnerships and foster collaborative efforts between start-ups and local and regional business regardless of their size, be they micro-businesses, SMEs or mid-tier enterprises.
This involves the development of services to boost relationships between the partners.
After an 18- to 24-month support period, the challenge in terms of sustainability is to maintain lasting bonds with start-ups, no longer hosted by but in continued contact with the Village and the Regional Bank.
Developing synergies
The various entities of the Group – Amundi, Crédit Agricole CIB, CA Assurances, CA Immobilier, CAMCA, Nexecur and BforBank – contribute to the emergence and realisation of new ideas in synergy with the Regional Banks. The key issue is to boost these synergies.
This is particularly true regarding growth sources identified by the Group, including the energy transition, agri/agro business, housing, tourism, healthcare and ageing well, and the sea. As organisation by division is vital in this respect.
Cross-cutting "Business Connect" events are organised in which start-ups, partner and client businesses, Regional Banks and Villages by CA share their ideas on a given topic with a view to building shared responses.
Business Connect events boost the visibility of the Villages ecosystem and put pay to the image of financial banks seeking instant profitability.
Lastly, an increasing number of calls for projects are being launched, such as "Start & Pulse" by Sofinco, "100% Compliance" by Crédit Agricole S.A. launched by Village by CA Paris and dedicated to FinTech, RegTech and Compliance Tech start-ups, and the European Plant-Based Protein Awards organised by the Nord de France and Champagne-Bourgogne Villages by CA.
Supporting the Group's transformation
Working with start-ups boosts creativity and changes working methods, both for the Group's entities and for partner businesses.
The Villages by CA network provides a support offering for "intrapreneurship" – entrepreneurship within the company – developed by Crédit Agricole S.A. and Fab&O.
Further challenges include the design of career paths for Villages employees (including the mayors), with a view to earning the loyalty of entrepreneurial talents.
