Ruling on differentiating between children in gift-giving
Is it permissible for me to give something to one of my children and not to his brothers? What if that is done for a reason, such as his good attitude or his obeying his parents?
The scholars are agreed that it is prescribed in Islam to treat children fairly when it comes to gift-giving; they should not single out one or some of them and not give to others.
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (5/666): "There is no dispute among the scholars that it is mustahabb to treat children equally and that it is makrooh to differentiate between them."
But there are differences of opinion concerning the ruling on differentiating between them. The strongest views in terms of evidence are two opinions – and Allaah knows best. These two opinions are:
1 – That it is absolutely haraam to differentiate between them. This is the well known view among the Hanbalis (see Kashshaaf al-Qinaa', 4/310; al-Insaaf, 7/138). This is also the view of the Zaahiriyyah (i.e., it is the same whether the differentiation is done for a reason or for no reason).
2 – That it is haraam to differentiate between them unless that is for a legitimate shar'i reason. This was narrated from Ahmad (al-Insaaf, 7/139) and was the view favoured by Ibn Qudaamah (al-Mughni, 5/664) and Ibn Taymiyah (Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 31/295).
The evidence quoted by both groups that say that it is haraam to differentiate between one's children is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (2586) and Muslim (1623) from al-Nu'maan ibn Basheer, who said that his father brought him to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: "I have given this son of mine a slave who used to belong to me." The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "have you given a similar gift to all of your children?" He said, "No." The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Then take (your gift) back."
According to another version (al-Bukhaari, 2587; Muslim, 1623), al-Nu'maan ibn Basheer said: "My father gave me a gift of some of his wealth, but my mother, 'Amrah bint Rawaahah, said, 'I will not approve of it until you ask the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to bear witness to it.' So my father went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to ask him to bear witness to the gift. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him, 'Have you done the same for all of your children?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Fear Allaah and treat your children justly.' So my father came back and took back that gift."
According to a version narrated by Muslim, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "O Basheer, do you have any other children?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Have you given all of them a similar gift?" He said, "No." He said, "Then do not ask me to bear witness to this, for I do not bear witness to injustice." The evidence in this hadeeth is clear:
1 – The Prophet commanded justice, and a command implies that it is obligatory.
2 – He explained that showing preference to one child or singling him out to the exclusion of the others is falsehood and injustice, in addition to his refusal to bear witness to it and his commanding him to take back his gift. All of that indicates that differentiating between one's children is haraam.
They also referred to the evidence of common sense:
Ibn Hajar mentioned in Fath al-Baari (5/214):
Among the evidence of those who say that it is obligatory to treat one's children equally is the fact that this (differentiating between children) is the first step that may lead to something haraam, because cutting off family ties and disobeying one's parents are two things which are haraam, so that which leads to them may also be haraam, and differentiating between one's children is something that may lead to them.
This is supported by something which was mentioned in a version narrated by Muslim (1623): "He [the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] said, 'Ask someone else to bear witness to this.' Then he said: 'Would you like your children to all honour you equally?' He said, 'Of course.' He said, 'Then do not do this.'"
Further evidence is the fact that preferring some of them to others generates enmity and hatred between them, and also between them and their parents, so that is not allowed (al-Mughni, 5/664); this meaning is similar to that mentioned above.
Those who favoured the second opinion, that it is permissible to differentiate between one's children when there is a need, a reason or an excuse, quoted as evidence the hadeeth narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta', with his isnaad from 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said that Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq had given her as a gift twenty wisq of his wealth, but when he was on his deathbed he said, "By Allaah, O my daughter, there is no one whom I would like to see rich after I die more than you, and there is no one whom it hurts me to see poor after I die than you. I had given you twenty wisq, and if you have already gone and collected them, then they are yours, otherwise whatever I leave is to be divided among all my heirs, who are your two brothers and your two sisters, so divide it amongst yourselves according to the Book of Allaah…"
Ibn Hajar said in al-Fath (5/215): its isnaad is saheeh.
The evidence from this hadeeth, is as Ibn Qudaamah mentioned, "It may be that Abu Bakr gave it only to 'Aa'ishah because she was in need and was unable to earn a living, even though she enjoyed a unique status as one of the Mothers of the Believers, and other virtues."
(Adapted from al-Mughni, 5/665)
As justification for Abu Bakr's action, al-Haafiz said in al-Fath (2/215): " 'Urwah said concerning the story of 'Aa'ishah that her brothers and sisters had agreed to that."
(Kitaab al-'Adl bayna al-Awlaad, p. 22 ff)
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said that it is haraam in absolute terms in Ighaathat al-Lahfaan, 1/540. He said: "If there were no clear saheeh Sunnah reports that disallowed that, then by analogy and based on the principles of sharee'ah and its concern for people's interests and to protect them from evil, it would have to be haraam."
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) stated that it is absolutely forbidden to show preference to some of one's children over others, and that it is obligatory to treat them all equally, males and females alike, in accordance with their shares of inheritance, unless they give permission and are adults of sound mind. (al-Fataawa al-Jaami'ah li'l-Mar'ah al-Muslimah, 3/1115, 1116)
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: it is not permissible for a man to give some of his sons preferential treatment over others, but he may differentiate between males and females, giving the males double what he gives the females, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Fear Allaah and treat your children fairly." So if he gives one of his sons 100 dirhams, he has to give the other sons 100 dirhams each as well, and give the girls 50 dirhams each, or else take back the money that he gave to the first son. This that we have mentioned is to be applied in cases other than the spending which is obligatory; with regard to obligatory spending, he should give each one whatever he needs. So if it so happens that one of his sons needs to get married, and he gets him married and gives him the mahr because the son is not able to pay the mahr, then in this case he does not have to give all the other sons the same as he gave to the one who needed to get married, because getting one's children married is part of spending on them. Here I want to draw attention to something that some people do out of ignorance, which is when a man has sons who have reached marriageable age, he gets them married, and he has other children who are still small, he makes a will saying that in the event of his death, they should be given money equal to that which was spent on the adult children. This is haraam and is not permissible because this will is a will that gives something to an heir, and willing something to an heir is haraam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah has given everyone his due, so there is no will for an heir." (This version narrated by Abu Dawood, 3565; al-Tirmidhi, 2/16 and others. The isnaad of this version was classed as hasan by al-Albaani, and the version "There is no will for an heir" was classed as saheeh in al-Irwa', 6/87). So if he says, "I am leaving this money for them in my will because I got their brothers married for a similar amount," we say that if these young children reach marriageable age before you die, then get them married for the same amount of money as you got their brothers married, but if they do not reach that age (before you die) then you do not have to get them married.
Fataawa Islamiyyah, 3/30.

Q: Complex joins using Play Framework and Ebean I'm using the PlayFramework and I'm really liking it. When I want to grab data from a table, for example I have a user table, I use the following syntax:
List<User> users = User.find.where().eq("email", email).findList();

My question is that when I get the user object, I have an id column. With that id value I can map to other tables and the id's of those tables can be mapped to even more tables, so basic concept of joining across several tables. Is there any example or place I can read where it describes how to implement that with the above-like syntax?
I tried to find myself and couldn't, only way I can think of it at this point is to use straight sql with prepared statements which I'd rather not do.

A: ellou' kalvish
Relationships between models are set with common JPA annotations like @OneToMany, @ManyToOne, @OneToOne, etc.
So if you have User.java model for user table and Question.java model for user's Question you can join them with @OneToMany (One User has Many Questions)
User
@Entity
public class User extends Model {
    @Id
    public Long id;

    public String email;

    @OneToMany
    public List<Question> questions;
}

Question
@Entity
public class Question extends Model {
    @Id
    public Long id;

    public String question;
}

When you'll select a User in controller, Ebean will perform 'joins' by default and will fetch all user's questions as well:
User user = User.find.where().eq("email", email).findUnique();
List<Question> usersQuestion = user.questions;

By default Ebean fetches all object's properties and relations, so you don't need to create subqueries. Of course you can or even should select/fetch only the data that is required at the moment.
At the official Ebean documentation page you'll find quite good Reference guide (pdf), general description of relationship is available in section 11.6.2 Relationships.
In section 4.1.2 Query there is example (second) which demonstrates how to get "partial" object with use of select() and fetch()

A fire golem (aka golem of fire) was a creature created through the power of the Demon Soul. It was a humanoid figure with a flaming bone shape and burning skull for a head. Armor appeared as flaming bones covering the monsterous warrior. Their hellish flames give off no physical heat, but if touched, pain such as even a seasoned fighter could not image would be caused.

Changes turn Nature Conservation Act on its head
The planned changes have 'turned the intent of the Act on its head'.
"Our Queensland government has recklessly reduced the protection of our natural environment with tunnel vision worship of their four pillars (agriculture, resources , tourism and construction) whilst forgetting that a healthy natural environment is the ground upon which all four pillars stand. Protection for natural assets that has been established after decades of struggle by concerned Queenslanders is being purged by a whim and a pen stroke.
Our Queensland government has emasculated the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) by withdrawing state funding, effectively smashing the ability of individuals and groups of concerned citizens to use what little environmental law we have to protect Queensland's natural environment in the public interest. This is just the beginning". (Russell Constable, Conservation Queensland "Champion of Conservation" 2013)
The proposed changes to the Plants Legislative Framework under the Nature Conservation Act are
unacceptable!!
Please help by sending a clear message to the minister
CCA endorses the submission lodged with the government by the Alliance to Save Hinchinbrook (ASH).
The following is from the ASH submission;
The object of the Nature Conservation Act 1992 Current as at 2 December 2012 (the Act) is stated thus:
The object of this Act is the conservation of nature.
Under the Act, development is limited by the imperative to maintain the life systems
of nature and the potential to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations.
The declared intention of the new framework....
....managing protected plants without hindering economic and social development.
thus, turns the purpose of the Act on its head
The offending statement occurs in Section 2, Issues, para 3, and the full sentence is Therefore, an effective strategy or framework for managing protective plants without hindering social and economic development is imperative if biodiversity is to be conserved for future generations.
The second, conditional part of the sentence is no more than a nod to the Nature Conservation Act, a trap for the unwary. There is overwhelming evidence that putting development first can never guarantee the conservation of biodiversity - just look at the rest of the planet, and the big polluters in Australia.
The proposed framework will label native plants 'protected' but will 'manage' them to allow development to proceed unhindered
Write to the environment minister Andrew Powell
Submissions for public comment have closed but the immediate and long term consequences of the proposed changes are so serious, the minister in charge needs to hear from us.
We can let the Hon Andrew Powell know there is strong objection to the direction this government is taking us with the overwhelming lack of respect for our natural environment.
Send the environment minister an email endorsing the Alliance to Save Hinchinbrook (ASH) submission.
How to email directly to the minister in three short steps ....
Dear Mr Powell
The legacy of the proposed changes to the Protected Plants Legislative framework, of your government, and of your ministry, will be felt by the generations who come after us. Surely you cannot let such destruction be unleashed in Queensland.
I would like to bring to your attention the submission lodged with the EHP on 24th March by the Alliance to Save Hinchinbrook Inc of which I fully support.
The Cassowary Coast Alliance (CCA) is a collaborative hub for entities and individuals who
are actively seeking good quality and long term public interest outcomes for the world

A Graphic Guide Introducing Series 6 ...
A Graphic Guide Introducing Series 6 Collection 8 Books Set
Icon Books SKU: LWP9033
Titles in this set:
Epigenetics is the most exciting field in biology today, developing our understanding of how and why we inherit certain traits, develop diseases and age, and evolve as a species.
"Introducing Genetics" takes readers on a journey through this new science to the discovery of DNA and the heart of the human gene map. In everyday life, many of us increasingly have to make moral decisions where genetics plays a part. This book gives us the information to do so.
Infinity is a profoundly counter-intuitive and brain-twisting subject that has inspired some great thinkers – and provoked and shocked others. The ancient Greeks were so horrified by the implications of an endless number that they drowned the man who gave away the secret. And a German mathematician was driven mad by the repercussions of his discovery of transfinite numbers. Brian Clegg and Oliver Pugh's brilliant graphic tour of infinity features a cast of characters ranging from Archimedes and Pythagoras to al-Khwarizmi, Fibonacci, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Cantor, Venn, Gödel and Mandelbrot, and shows how infinity has challenged the finest minds of science and mathematics. Prepare to enter a world of paradox.
It is now more than a century since Einstein's theories of Special and General Relativity began to revolutionise our view of the universe. Beginning near the speed of light and proceeding to explorations of space-time and curved spaces, "Introducing Relativity" plots a visually accessible course through the thought experiments that have given shape to contemporary physics. Scientists from Newton to Hawking add their unique contributions to this story, as we encounter Einstein's astounding vision of gravity as the curvature of space-time and arrive at the breathtakingly beautiful field equations. Einstein's legacy is reviewed in the most advanced frontiers of physics today - black holes, gravitational waves, the accelerating universe and string theory. This is a superlative, fascinating graphic account of Einstein's strange world and how his legacy has been built upon since.
In 1859, Charles Darwin shocked the world with a radical theory - evolution by natural selection. One hundred and fifty years later, his theory still challenges some of our most precious beliefs. Introducing Evolution provides a step-by-step guide to 'Darwin's dangerous idea' and takes a fresh look at the often misunderstood concepts of natural selection and the selfish gene. Drawing on the latest findings from genetics, ecology and animal behaviour- as well as the work of best-selling science writers such as Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker- this book reveals how the evidence in favour of evolutionary theory is stronger than ever.
Stephen Hawking is the world-famous physicist with a cameo in "The Simpsons on his CV", but outside his academic field his work is little understood. To the public he is a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling "A Brief History of Time", and yet confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed. Hawking's major contribution to science has been to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics - Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.
Our knowledge comes primarily from experience. But is experience really what it seems? Is it reliable? Empiricist philosophers accept a 'commonsense' view of the phenomena we observe and yet conclude that all we can ever know are 'ideas'. Physical reality may not exist at all! The experimental breakthroughs of Kepler, Galileo and Newton - a radical new outlook in 17th-century science - informed this great British tradition in philosophy. Introducing Empiricism outlines the arguments of Locke, Berkeley, Hume, J.S. Mill, Bertrand Russell, and the last British empiricist, A.J. Ayer. It also looks at criticisms of empiricism in the work of Kant, Wittgenstein, Karl Popper and others.
Every subsequent major philosopher owes a profound debt to Kant?s attempts to delimit human reason as an appropriate object of philosophical enquiry. And yet, Kant's relentless systematic formalism made him a controversial figure in the history of the philosophy that he helped to shape. Introducing Kant focuses on the three critiques of Pure Reason, Practical Reason and Judgement. It describes Kant's main formal concepts: the relation of mind to sensory experience, the question of freedom and the law and, above all, the revaluation of metaphysics. Kant emerges as a diehard rationalist yet also a Romantic, deeply committed to the power of the sublime to transform experience. The book explores the paradoxical nature of his ideas and explains the reasons for his undiminished importance in contemporary philosophical debates.

August 2, 2012 / Jean Spraker
I read (skim is more accurate) four newspapers a day. I know. Old school, right? These papers are my first-line source for news. They include Times of India, Mumbai Mirror, Bombay Times (more gossip than news), and नाव भारत टाइमस (Nav Bharat Times, my Hindi practice paper). All delivered to my doorstep in a bundle. I supplement these papers with online news from MSNBC and NDTV. And, then, of course, there is the world's most reliable source of information: Facebook.
Facebook is how I learned of the world's biggest power outage this week. From my niece's Facebook status. She tagged me to ask if all was OK. That's right. My niece in South Carolina knew about the power outage in India before I did. That is how this 24/7 news cycle works. That is how small our world is in the digital age. That is why I really need to start watching the evening news.
Watching the spin around this story is fascinating. These headlines appeared on Wednesday, the day after the blackout:
Times of India: As 680M Indians In 22 States Reel Under World's Biggest-Ever Blackout, Minister Gets Promotion
Mumbai Mirror: DARK AGE 60 crore hit as power snaps in 19 states (PAGE 12)
Nav Bharat Times (translated): world's biggest blackout, three grids fail, in 24 regions electricity vanishes, 60 crore people affected
I really don't know what is up with the Mumbai Mirror. Either the Mirror has a really early print deadline, or it has missed out on the biggest news story of the week. Even though the editors made room for the headline on page 1, the story is relegated to page 12, in the Nation section. I guess because Mumbai was unaffected. On the front page, the Mirror chose to run an article about a brother and sister killed by pesticides.
Notice anything about the headlines? Even the basic facts about the story are up for debate. No one can even agree on how many people or states were affected by the outage. Interestingly, in an inside story in the Times, the numbers change from 22 states to 21. More interesting, though, is the "truth" about the numbers affected by the blackout. In an article titled, "33% of India's homes still in dark age," it is reported that while 68 crore people live in the blackout region, "more than half would scarcely have been able to tell the difference." India has the largest population without access to electricity in the world. Ironically, the vast majority of those people live in the states affected by the blackout.
Yet, somehow, the ministers are passing the blame to people in the affected regions. That is the latest spin today. Or was it the monsoon season's negative impact on hydroelectric production? Either way, it is not the fault of the guy in charge of the power grid.
The power failure sheds light on how much India's infrastructure is standing in the way of its own progress. How is India supposed to move forward to become a greater economic superpower than China when such a large percentage of its population is left behind, literally, in the dark age? India has tremendous potential, but reliable power is a critical part of the infrastructure needed to assure foreign investors that India can deliver its goods and services on budget and on time.
So, let me tell you about my first visit to Mumbai last year. The first day I was here, the power was out in my potential apartment for two hours. I thought, "Welcome to India." When I met with another ex-pat wife, she told me that the complex regularly has blackouts. Those kinds of blackouts don't happen in the US. Despite what the newly promoted Indian home minister thinks, I can tell you that it does not normally take four days to restore power in the US; it takes about four minutes. The fault at Agra was the type that we would hardly have noticed in the US. When it takes days to restore power, it is because Mother Nature, not a technical fault, has caused the outage. Sure, It took two weeks for TXU to restore our power after Hurricane Ike, but that was a major hurricane.
As I sit here writing about the challenges of access to electricity, I am reading Facebook feeds in the US about a comment made by the CEO of a company that sells chicken that has set off a vitriolic debate about free speech, religion, and sex. It is fantastic that those debates can happen in the US. In some parts of the world, they can't. I pray that when the dust settles, everyone remembers that these debates are really high-class problems. Problems that people with electricity can think about and argue about, but that, in the final analysis, in the grand scheme of all things great and small on this earth, don't amount to a hill of beans or a chicken sandwich.
And, now that I have thoroughly mixed my metaphors and pop culture references, broken every rule of good writing that I learned on Facebook last week, and jumped off my soap box, here's a little Springsteen for you:

Move over, Pizza Rat – Mouse Spider is the stuff of nightmares
By christina capatides
October 24, 2016 / 11:48 AM / CBS News
Spider drags mouse
Remember when the internet was enthralled with a common rat determined enough to drag a slice of discarded pizza down the stairs of the New York City subway? Those were the good old days.
There is a new super-determined creature breaking the internet this morning and it will make you yearn for the days of Pizza Rat.
Social media's newest viral sensation is of the insect variety and it's absolutely horrifying: a huntsman spider large enough and strong enough to carry a whole mouse in its mouth up the outside of a refrigerator.
No, this is not a hoax, nor is it a Halloween stunt. This was an actually occurrence, videotaped and then posted on Facebook by Jason Womal, a tradesman from Coppabella, Queensland.
So I am just about to leave for work about 0030 and me neighbour says "You want to see something cool" and I say "Hell yeah". So we proceed to his place and he shows me this. Huntsman trying to eat a mouse.
Posted by Jason Womal on Saturday, October 22, 2016
Huntsman spiders, which generally feed on pests like cockroaches and crickets, immobilize their prey with poisonous venom. So, it is more than likely that is the fate which befell the mouse in this video.

If you are now cowering in a corner with cans of Raid clutched in both hands, here's a bit of good news to ease your terror: This sighting occurred in Australia, which is where huntsman spiders – so named for their speed and style of obtaining prey – are most common.
They have, however, also been spotted in southern areas of the United States, including Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. Apologies, arachnophobes.
And while the rodent's outlook does not appear good, Womal returned to Facebook after his initial post with an update on the giant spider.
Ok guys so just letting you all know that the spider is fine. We have named him Hermie, we have adopted him and he is...
Posted by Jason Womal on Sunday, October 23, 2016
"Ok guys so just letting you all know that the spider is fine," Womal wrote. "We have named him Hermie, we have adopted him and he is now running his own extermination business out of our town Coppabella. Oh and he is now paying rent. Lol."
"Hermie" has now racked up more than 10 million views in just over 24 hours.

To the Moon! Apollo 11's great adventure
Jeffrey Kluger, editor-at-large at Time magazine, recounts the human landmark of landing men on the lunar surface. Kluger talks with Apollo 11 command module pilot Michael Collins and astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and, in archive footage, hears from mission commander Neil Armstrong about the achievement of the first Moon landing, and of the "magnificent desolation" they found there.
Colson Whitehead on "The Nickel Boys"
Author Colson Whitehead won a Pulitzer Prize for his bestselling 2016 novel "The Underground Railroad." He talks with Lee Cowan about his latest novel, "The Nickel Boys," a fictional tale of cruelty and trauma based on the notorious Alfred G. Dozer School for Boys outside Tallahassee, where the neglect and abuse of children was rampant for decades.
The seamstresses who fashioned Apollo's spacesuits
When NASA needed a lunar spacesuit for the Apollo astronauts, they turned to the International Latex Corporation, and a cadre of women who normally sewed latex bras and girdles, to create a softer, more flexible spacesuit. Tracy Smith talked with some of the seamstresses who fashioned protective wear that would mean life or death for men in space, and with Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt who was the last man to walk, and jump, on the lunar surface.
Walter Cronkite and the awe of space exploration
When Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, nearly half of the country's 57 million TVs were tuned to CBS's anchored by Walter Cronkite. Martha Teichner reports on the epochal event through the lens of Cronkite's enthusiastic reportage.
Black models in modern art
A recent New York City art exhibition, now at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, explores the importance of black models as key to the development of 19th and 20th century art, through their representations by French and American artists (including Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Frederic Bazille and Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault). Nancy Giles talks with curator Denise Murrell about how the Harlem Renaissance influenced painters such as Henri Matisse, and with Brooklyn artist Mickalene Thomas about black figures in art at a time of social and political transformation.

It appears the Mayans had it wrong, the world didn't end.
The day is young (here, at least, and younger still where the Mayans lived).
Cute Ryan! I'm still here!
I was watching NBC news last night with Brian Williams and they had a Mayan expert talking and he said the Mayans never said the world was going to end, that it was only the end of a particular time frame.
However, the day isn't over. ROFL.
I kept getting distracted while sitting here waiting for the end. I turned down a Maya doco on zDiscovery because I was engrossed in Jaysee's fish vids, lol.
The Mayans never predicted the end, they said it was the end o an ERA. They also never said the 21st of Dec.
No, just you wait. By the end of the day, the Great Aquarist will have moved us from this quarantine tank into the Great Display Tank of Eternity, where we'll enjoy a blissful existence surrounded by various other unimaginable species of intelligent life... probably including Dino's people.
If the Spaniards hadn't killed the Mayans, they may have finished the calendar! Teehee!
2012 Planetary Alignment - Since the Mayan calendar is based on cycles, December 21, 2012 merely indicates the end of a cycle that began on August 11, 3114 BC. There is no evidence from any Mayan literature suggesting that the world will come to an end.
Perhaps the Zombie virus still needs time to spread but already have started. Remember stay a way from people who are walking funny and vacant eyes.
Actually, if mad cow disease infected humans, it could be a zombie disease- scary thought.
I heard at school that they flipped over the mayan calender and found a bunch more dates, or something. I don't know if it's true though.
If the mayans were so good at predicting the future, wouldnt there still be mayans?
Its gotton to all of my coworkers and neighbors! Help me!
Exactly... the Mayan apocalypse happened long, long ago.

Zone 6 is home to several local authorities in Greater London, including Bexley, Bromley, Kingston, Reigate and Banstead, Tandridge, Croydon, Enfield, Epping Forest, Hertsmere, Havering, Epsom and Ewell, Richmond upon Thames, Hounslow, Elmbridge, Hillingdon, and Three Rivers. The distance to central London varies between 12 and 16 miles. Initially, these areas were part of Transport Zone 5, but they were grouped into a new zone in the early 1990s.
From a business point of view, Zone 6 is particularly important due to the presence of Heathrow airport. There are thousands of square feet of industrial space in the area, mainly in places like the Airlinks Industrial Estate, the Riverside Cargo Centre, and the Britannia Industrial Estate. The suburban area of Stanwell (TW19) is an important component of the so-called M4 corridor, which is known for the large numbers of high tech, financial, and business services companies that are headquartered in the area. Some of the most notable employers in Zone 6 are actually in this area, and include companies in industries like catering, hospitality, aviation, retail, construction, and information technology.
Considering its distance to central London, Zone 6 remains very well connected to the heart of the city via underground, overground, National Rail Services, and the Docklands Light Railway. The busiest stations are Heathrow (on the Piccadilly line and 45 to 50 minutes from Covent Garden and the City of London), Orpington (with trains to Cannon Street, Charing Cross, Victoria, Luton, Ashford International, and Bedford), Romford (with frequent services to Liverpool Street, Southend, and Stratford), and West Ruislip (on the Central line and connecting the area with Oxford Circus, Bank, and Stratford, as well as having train services to Paddington and High Wycombe). The southern parts of Zone 6 are directly connected to Gatwick airport via railway services, and train stations in this area are regularly used by commuters that travel to and from Sevenoaks, Guildford, Woking, Staines, and Slough.

Sotalol hydrochloride for intravenous use is an antiarrhythmic agent indicated for substitution for oral sotalol in patients who are unable to take sotalol orally.
Oral sotalol is indicated for maintenance of normal sinus rhythm in patients with history of highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation/flutter and treatment of documented life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
For detailed dosing information for pediatric patients, click here.
For the safety of the patient, the safety measures required of oral sotalol administration must also be applied for intravenous route.
As the bioavailability of oral sotalol is between 90% and 100%, the corresponding dose of intravenous sotalol is slightly less than that of the oral dose. 75 mg of intravenous sotalol is approximately equal to 80 mg of oral sotalol. Monitor the effect of the initial intravenous dose and titrate either upward or downward, if needed, based on clinical effect, QT interval or adverse reactions.
Sotalol is contraindicated in patients with sinus bradycardia (<50 bpm), sick sinus syndrome or second or third degree AV block unless a functioning pacemaker is present; in patients with congenital or acquired long QT syndromes, QT interval >450 ms; in patients with cardiogenic shock or uncontrolled heart failure; in patients with creatinine clearance <40 mL/min; in patients with serum potassium <4 meq/L; in patients with bronchial asthma or related bronchospastic conditions; and in patients with known hypersensitivity to sotalol.
Sotalol can cause serious ventricular arrhythmias, primarily Torsade de Pointes (TdP) type ventricular tachycardia. Factors such as reduced creatinine clearance, gender (female) and larger doses increase the risk of TdP. Calculation of the creatinine clearance must precede administration of the first dose of sotalol.
The use of sotalol in conjunction with other drugs that prolong the QT interval has not been studied and is not recommended.
Sotalol may increase bradycardia in patients with supraventricular arrhythmia. Bradycardia itself increases the risk of Torsades de Pointes. Patients receiving concomitant digoxin must be carefully monitored.
Do not abruptly discontinue treatment. Occasional cases of exacerbation of angina pectoris, arrhythmias, and in some cases, myocardial infarction have been reported after abrupt discontinuation of beta-blocker therapy.
Sotalol may increase the propensity to develop serious arrhythmias in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Sotalol should not be used in patients with hypokalemia or hypomagnesemiaprior to correction of imbalance, as these conditions increase the potential for Torsades de Pointes. Special attention should be given to electrolyte and acid based balance in patients experiencing severe or prolonged diarrhea or patients receiving concomitant diuretic drugs.
Monitor serum glucose in diabetic patients as sotalol, like all beta-blockers in general, may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia or worsen hyperglycemia.
There is no clinical experience with intravenous sotalol. Because of the similarity in exposure between intravenous sotalol and oral sotalol, adverse reactions should be similar. The most common adverse reactions (> 10%) seen with oral sotalol (dose related) are fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, asthenia, nausea, dyspnea, bradycardia, chest pain and palpitation.

Q: An exercise about simple groups Let $G$ be a finite group, $D=\{(g,g):g\in G\}$ is a subgroup of the direct product $G\times G$. Show that $G$ is simple if and only if $D$ is a maximal subgroup of $G\times G$.
I tried to prove by contradiction. First assume that $G$ is simple and suppose there exist a subgroup $H$ of $G\times G$ such that $D<H<G\times G$. But i couldn't use the simplicity of $G$ to get a contradiction.

A: If $G$ is simple, and $D < M \le G \times G$, let $(a,b) \in M \setminus D$, so that $a \ne b$. Then $(1, 1) \ne (a,a)^{-1} (a, b) = (1, a^{-1} b) = (1, c) \in M$.
Conjugating $(1, c)$ by $(g, g)$, we see that $M$ contains all $(1, c^g)$, for $g \in G$.  As $G$ is simple, the subgroup of $G$ generated by the conjugacy class $\{c^g : g \in G \}$ (which is a non-trivial normal subgroup of $G$) is $G$. Thus $M$ contains $\{1\} \times G$, and as $M$ contains $D$, $M$ also contains $G  \times \{1\}$, so that $M = G \times G$.
We have proved that if $G$ is simple, then $D$ is maximal in $G \times G$.
For the converse, suppose $N$ is non-trivial normal subgroup of $G$.
Then $D$ normalizes $N \times \{1\} = \{(n, 1):n\in N\}$, so $ND$ is a subgroup of $G \times G$ properly containing $D$.
If $D$ is maximal in $G \times G$, then $ND = G \times G$. In particular for each $g \in G$ one has $(1, g^{-1}) \in ND$, so that $(1, g^{-1}) = (n, 1) (g^{-1}, g^{-1})$ for some $n \in N$, so $g = n \in N$, and $N = G$, so that $G$ is simple.

A: One can give an alternative solution using the following fact:

Let $L$ be a group, acting transitively on a set $A$. Let $a \in A$. Then $L$ acts primitively on $A$ iff the stabiliser $L_a$ is a maximal subgroup.

Here $L = G \times G$ acts on $A = G$ with $(g, h)$ sending $x \mapsto g^{-1} x h$. Clearly $D = L_1$ is the stabiliser of $1$.
We will show that the block systems for the action of $L$ and $A$ are of the form
$$
\mathfrak{N} = \{ N^{g} : g \in G\},
$$
for $N$ a normal subgroup of $G$. This implies that  $L$ acts primitively on $A$ if and only if $G$ is simple.
Suppose $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. Then $N$ is a block. In fact, if $$g^{-1} N h \cap N = g^{-1} h N \cap N$$ is non-empty, then $g^{-1} N h = g^{-1} h N = N$, as the (left) cosets of $N$ are a partition of $G$.
Conversely, consider a block system $\mathfrak{N}$, and let $N \in \mathfrak{N}$ be the block containing 1. We claim that $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. If $g, h \in N$, then $h = g^{-1} g h \in g^{-1} N h \cap N$, so $g^{-1} N h = N$ and $g^{-1} h = g^{-1} 1 h \in N$. This shows that $N$ is a subgroup of $G$. Also, if $x \in G$,  then $x^{-1} N x$ contains 1, so that it equals $N$. Thus $N$ is normal in $G$.

Beijing proposed the format of "China-India-Plus-One" for cooperating with New Delhi in Africa.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang unveiled this framework last week when he announced that "We hope that China and India actively explore China-India plus one or China-India-X cooperation in accordance with the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, realise mutual benefit and win-win between China and India and other countries", which was clearly in response to the overlapping African trips of the Chinese and Indian leaders in the run-up to the 10th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg. Long thought of as rivals, especially in the space of competitive connectivity through their dueling Silk Road and Asia-Africa Growth Corridor (AAGC) projects, both Great Powers now have the chance to constructively cooperate with one another in Africa so as to unleash their full developmental complementarities for making this an African Century.
China and India both need African resources, labor, and markets to sustain their own growth, though their partners require billions of dollars of investments in order to reliably fulfill this role, ergo the growing strategic symbiosis between the "Global South" states in Africa and Asia. Beijing's approach has thus far been to construct impressive connectivity corridors throughout the Horn of Africa and East African regions that form its gateway to the resource-rich Central African Heartland, though it's recently diversified its strategy from its infrastructural and economic roots to now include military cooperation as well. In parallel with this, India and Japan are seeking to gain a foothold in so-called "soft infrastructure" projects such as education, job training, healthcare, and administrative services in order to satisfy the demand that's been created by China's focus on hard infrastructure initiatives instead.
If China and India joined forces to coordinate their developmental policies towards a certain African state or even entire regions as a whole, then they'd remove the chance for any wasteful redundancies between them and resultantly improve the efficiency of their comprehensive strategies. This would in theory embody a multilaterally beneficial outcome for all parties because the African state could develop at a brisk Asian-like pace while the two Asian Great Powers could then enter into a deeper level of complex interdependency with it, altogether making them stakeholders in the host's success and therefore diminishing the odds that any "friendly competition" between them would lead to a destabilizing outcome. Ideally, this China-India-Plus-One (CIPO) strategy could be most strongly upheld if their mutual Russian partner was also invited to participate in this proposal and worked to maintain the strategic "balance" between everyone.

"It is a great opportunity for you to experience and to learn from the Universiade 2013 on the ground, before you will be taking the honour to host next Universiade."
Kazan 2013 Observer programme is a key component of the knowledge transfer process for the benefits of any sport organizing committees. This programme provides a unique opportunity to learn and experience a multi-sport games organization at the first hand. FISU organizes the Kazan 2013 Observer programme in partnership with the Kazan 2013 Executive Committee and FISU International Educational Centre with key EC personnel acting as the main presenters for each tour and seminar, supported by combine FISU- IEC- Kazan EC management team.
For future Winter and Summer Universiade organizers, attending the Universiade represents a wonderful opportunity to learn and experience the event on the ground. During the Observer Programme, each future Organizing Committee will not only witness how things are done,but also study specific areas, so that they can learn and improve upon these within their own organizational and cultural context.
The Kazan 2013 Observer programme is a key component of the knowledge transfer process, providing a unique opportunity to live, learn and experience real multi-sport games and Universiade operations.
For future organizing committees of multi-sports events.
Participants will be gaining invaluable experience of how an event like the Universiade is organized. Over the course of the Observer programme, the participants will have the opportunity for networking, for attending many useful meetings and tours.
The programme goal is to provide future organizing committees with the learning opportunities from organizing Universiade 2013, to learn from other multi-sport events and build a new knowledge, based on lessons learned.
Observer programme starts a few days before the Universiade 2013 and will last until the end of the Games (June 29 – July 18, 2013).
FA Meetings Meetings with Functions' representatives for "Questions & Answers" session.
"Although Multi-sport events Organizing Committees are working in different cultural and political environments, all of them have to face similar difficulties and challenges. The observer programme set up jointly by the Kazan OC and FISU will answer to most of the questions addressed by future organizers and help them to beneficiate from previous experiences. Transfer of knowledge is the backbone of future success."
"Outreach of the Observer programme of Organizing committees for multi-sport events should build relationships with internal and external partners and all stakeholders, provide timely and accurate information, maintain a clear and consistent message how the work of Organizing Committee observers programs benefit the participation as a whole. As well as gaining access to all aspects of the Games, the Observer Programme includes seminars specifically about sport operations. These involve people from different areas of the local OC talking about special areas such as publications, the sports information centre, training venues and about sport presentation etc., which will really help guide whole planning. Observers are the "eyes on the ocean" collecting critical data upon which policies and management decisions are based, where the OC and FISU play an extremely important role."
"The Kazan 2013 Observer Programme is a major highlight of the learning experience, bringing together members of all the OC-s to share experience, transfer knowledge, build relationships and get a better understanding of how one of the world's premier mass-sport events operates. The Observer Programme includes seminars on each key operation; these can really help guide OC-s planning process from now on."
"Observer programme helps to ensure that future host cities have access to the latest knowledge that has been gained from the hard work and experience of previous University Games hosts. The relationships formed with other Organizing Committees through the Knowledge management programme allow further follow-up and collaboration between Functional Area counterparts which can really help develop best practice. Our team is open to exchange the experiences and show other OCs the things we set right and ones could be missed."
"This programme itself - is an innovative approach for the Universiade staging and it designed for successful knowledge transfer. We made an attempt to resolve enormous logistical challenges during experience sharing. We hope, that the programme will prove to be a truly memorable, enjoyable event."
"Based on the previous Universiades experience we came to conclusion that integration is the key component of the University Games holding. It is vital to communicate and integrate your specific planning with the other areas of your organizing committee to ensure everyone knows what they are doing. It is important to have practical experience and on-site observation of what we were already learning on handbooks."
"We made the most of learning opportunities in Shenzhen 2011, Erzurum 2011, Belgrad 2009, Harbin 2009, London 2012 to implement and deliver world-class performances to Kazan 2013 Observer programme. Kazan 2013 observers will get the best opportunity of learning across all aspects of Games holding."
"It is amazing how many different areas can benefit from the programme, especially if you are in the beginning of the way. The press is a tense client group, that is why it's important to analyze their needs effectively in advance using other events experience as well. Talking about press knowledge is a power that will help you to create the best media environment around your event ever!"
"There are more than 150 nationalities with different food preferences and cultural needs in addition to languages differences. The Observer programme helps to work closely with the host organizing committee, ask questions and focus on key points on a sporting event of this size."
"We were exploring the Games and getting the experience of being Games Makers so we could learn and then use that knowledge and experience when we got back to Russia to prepare for our Universiade. There were a huge number of people, so we could learn how to work with all the volunteers together. One of the most important things for me is using this invaluable experience, and based on it we will increase the number of people who are involved in volunteering."
"Six Kazan 2013 staff representatives went to London to look at the Games-time operations and learn from the London 2012 experience. I was lucky enough to be an Observer in London 2012 and I am very proud that my knowledge will help to deliver the new vision for Kazan 2013 Universiade Observer Programme."

My (creating) heart however, has been set on new projects for the Handmaids™ series of fabric collections. Especially after visiting & viewing all of the beautiful projects that were presented for the She Who Sews Blog Hop. And thankfully, many of yours too, perhaps.
So, first in order was prepping & packing the giveaway prizes!
Fat quarter cutting early Saturday with Jac and Syd.
Then, my good buddy Annie and I examined the She Who Sews fabrics from Quilting Treasures, for two small quilts that she will be playing with & piecing.
• Future GIVEAWAYS! The consideration is, one a month to get things rolling.
• And while She Who Sews fabric is available, we were wondering how many quilting, sewing & collage artist bloggers might be interested in participating in another Handmaids™ Hop.
Or for any & all quilters, sewers & collage artists to simply showcase your She Who Sews works in one of our albums. Please leave us a comment to let us know your interest in either.
Lastly for me, who is still getting my sewing sea legs, a February post card for a Facebook group & finishing up the second canvas wrap. BTW – I thought it was interesting to learn that one of the giveaway prizes is going just across town to Ferguson, & one to France!
. . . And the post card is off to Switzerland!
I would love to win a stack of these!
Your fabrics are fun and adorable. Love the flowers, and the yellow!
Great Rosemarrazzle! Stay tuned and we'll be sure to keep you posted.
Oh my goodness Karen, I feel the same way. And you're rocking chair thread caddy projects sent me straight to ebay as well. Your post about these darling little rocking chairs and the story you uncovered has inspired me to do something with them, not sure what yet. A She Who Rocks GIVEAWAY? Thanks again.
Knee deep in the fabric, love to hear it. And can't wait to see your quilt.
I have some of this fabric and I love it. I only have the large panel and I can't wait to make something with it and all those yummy fabrics added to it would be grand!
I am totally in love with the She Who Sews fabric line. I have seen other handmaids fabrics, too, and they are also very cool. I think they are all quite marvelous though my heart is with sewing!!!
I totally in love with line of fabric too! I have more projects planned with this fabric for my sewing room.
I love this fabric too. I have more leftover from the blog hop at Sew We Quilt.I am going to wip up a small quilt. I haven´t seen the fabric in Sweden, so I have to buy from internet shops in US.
This fabric is wonderful! I've never done a blog hop, so it should be fun. What are the rules/requirements?
Looks like the time is off. I just posted my response, and it says it is 6:55 pm, while it is only 2:55 pm here in West Michigan! Anyway, I love ALL you stuff!!
I am fairly new to the blog stuff so not sure what I'm doing or am supposed to do. i do love the She Who Sews product line though and will follow along so I can learn as I go.


Beractant is a pulmonary surfactant used for the treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Considered a natural source of surfactant as it is made from bovine lung extract, beractant contains a mixture of phospholipids, neutral lipids, fatty acids, and surfactant-associated proteins such as SP-B and SP-C. The final composition provides 25 mg/mL phospholipids (including 11.0-15.5 mg/mL disaturated phosphatidylcholine), 0.5-1.75 mg/mL triglycerides, 1.4-3.5 mg/mL free fatty acids, and less than 1.0 mg/mL protein. It is suspended in 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and heat-sterilized.
In anticipation of birth, endogenous lung surfactant is produced to lower the surface tension on alveolar surfaces and to stabilize the alveoli against collapse at resting transpulmonary pressures. However, in Respiratory Distress Syndrome, developmental deficiency of surfactant results collapse of the alveoli causing fast breathing, increased heart rate, apoxia, and sometimes death. Administration of lung surfactant remains the cornerstone of therapy in this condition that is currently the leading cause of death in preterm infants. In comparison to synthetic forms of surfacant, natural forms such as Beractant have been found to have a reduced incidence of pneumothorax and reduced mortality.
Beractant is indicated for prevention and treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants.
In vitro, Beractant reproducibly lowers minimum surface tension to less than 8 dynes/cm as measured by the pulsating bubble surfactometer and Wilhelmy Surface Balance. In situ, it restores pulmonary compliance to excised rat lungs artificially made surfactant-deficient. In vivo, single doses improve lung pressure-volume measurements, lung compliance, and oxygenation in premature rabbits and sheep.
Beractant replenishes lung surfactant and restores surface activity to the lungs by lowering surface tension on alveolar surfaces during respiration and stabilizing the alveoli against collapse at resting transpulmonary pressures.
Beractant is administered directly to the target organ, the lungs, where biophysical effects occur at the alveolar surface.
In surfactant-deficient premature rabbits and lambs, alveolar clearance of radio-labelled lipid components of beractant is rapid. Most of the dose becomes lung-associated within hours of administration, and the lipids enter endogenous surfactant pathways of reutilization and recycling. Limited animal experiments have not found effects of beractant on endogenous surfactant metabolism.
Acebutolol Acebutolol may increase the bradycardic activities of Beractant.
Agmatine Beractant may increase the bradycardic activities of Agmatine.
Alfentanil Alfentanil may increase the bradycardic activities of Beractant.
Alprenolol Alprenolol may increase the bradycardic activities of Beractant.
Amiodarone Amiodarone may increase the bradycardic activities of Beractant.
Amlodipine Amlodipine may increase the bradycardic activities of Beractant.
Anisodamine Beractant may increase the bradycardic activities of Anisodamine.
Aranidipine Beractant may increase the bradycardic activities of Aranidipine.
Arotinolol Beractant may increase the bradycardic activities of Arotinolol.
Atenolol Atenolol may increase the bradycardic activities of Beractant.


I just had to share this photo of me and James from my instagram this last week. It is my favorite photo of us to date. Together, we can be pretty darn dorky and silly.
This morning we had a donut date and went looking for garage sales. I haven't had a donut in so long and I saw a photo on instagram the other day of some donuts, and I just had to have one. I told James I wanted a donut date, so that is just what we did this morning. We didn't find any good garage sales, but we did go visit the sweet little rock lady that we met a few months ago and got some new pretty rocks! You can see them on my instagram. So so pretty. I absolutely love talking to her about rocks too, the sweetest lady.
So far, this is a pretty good weekend! Last night I got to hang out with one of my besties and it was just the best time. It had been so long since we had been able to go out b/c of her pregnancy, so it was way overdue, and I think we both soaked up every second of it. We got to listen to a local duo friends of ours play some good tunes too. Perfect. Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!
