Is it permissible to pray Taraweeh (or any Nafeela) When You Have Make Up Prayers ? – Imam Al-Akhdari and Shaykh Rami Nsour (Maliki School)
One who owes missed prayers should not perform any nafeela prayers. So it's haram for a person, it's prohibited for a person to pray any nafeela prayers, any extra prayers, what are commonly referred to as the sunnahs before dhuhr and 'asr. And according to the Malikis, those are referred to as the nafeela prayers before dhuhr or 'asr. After dhuhr, after Maghreb and after 'isha, those prayers, before and after the obligatory prayers, those are termed as nafeela prayers and it's haram for a person to pray them because they must make up their obligations before they work on their extra acts. Before a person starts thinking about profit, he has to think about his capital.
Also it's not permissible for him to pray the mid-morning prayer, the duha, because this is considered a nafeela prayer, nor the night prayers of Ramadan, nor the taraweeh prayers. Because the taraweeh is considered a nafeela, and so for the person that owes obligatory prayers, it's haram for him to be praying the taraweeh. Instead, he should be making up his prayers.
Also a person should realize that one obligatory prayer is better than praying from now until the day of Judgment nafeela prayers, because leaving a nafeela prayer does not incur a sin, whereas leaving an obligatory prayer does incur a sin. So the reward gained by one obligatory prayer is better than a million nafeelas. So if a person is really looking for the reward, he would leave the nafeela and do the obligation. Whereas if a person is doing the non-obligatory acts before he has made up the obligatory acts, then it might be because he has a nafssee, a selfish desire in that.
Indeed, it is only permissible for him to pray the shaf', the witr, the fajr ragheebah, both Eids, the solar eclipse and the rain prayers.
So it's permissible for him to pray the shaf' and the witr, these are the sunnah prayers. The witr, the two Eids, the eclipse and the rain prayer. Those, according to the Maliki scholars are considered sunnah prayers. All other extra prayers are termed as nafeela prayers. So these sunnah prayers, the witr and the shaf', although it is considered a nafeela, because it is immediately linked to the witr prayer, it's given the hukm of the witr, which is the sunnah. So he would pray the witr, he would pray the fajr ragheebah, which is higher than a nafeela and less than a sunnah, he would pray both Eids, the Fitr and the Eid al-Adha. He would pray the solar eclipse prayer but not the lunar, because the lunar eclipse is recommended, it's a nafeela prayer, and he would pray the rain prayers or the istissqah prayer. So the sunnah prayers, a person that has obligatory prayers to be made up, he can pray the sunnah prayers but he would not pray the nafeela prayers.

Appeal of EDGAR JAMES, JR., on behalf of EDGAR JAMES, III, from action of the Board of Education of the City School District of the City of New York regarding payment of non-resident tuition.
(August 4, 2000)
Carolyn Scott, Esq., attorney for petitioner
Michael D. Hess, Corporation Counsel, attorney for respondent, Lisa A. Weiss, Assistant Corporation Counsel, of counsel
MILLS, Commissioner.--Petitioner appeals a determination by the Board of Education of the City School District of the City of New York ("respondent") that his son is not a district resident and is not entitled to attend Midwood High School in Brooklyn without the payment of non-resident tuition. The appeal must be dismissed.
Petitioner concedes at the outset that he and his son are residents of West Hempstead, which is outside respondent's district. In April 1998, petitioner's son applied for enrollment in the medical science program at Midwood High School ("Midwood") in respondent's district. For reasons that are not apparent from the record, petitioner's son was recorded as a resident of Brooklyn and thus a resident of respondent's district. He was accepted into this very competitive school program, and attended Midwood for the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 school years.
On or about March 21, 2000, the principal at Midwood became aware that petitioner and his son were not residents of respondent's district. He sent a letter to petitioner, noting that petitioner and his son were residents of Nassau County, and forwarded non-resident application forms for the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 school years. The principal advised petitioner that, unless completed non-resident application forms and applicable tuition payments for both school years were received by May 15, 2000, petitioner's son would be discharged from Midwood effective May 16, 2000.
This appeal ensued. I issued an interim order on May 26, 2000, directing respondent to admit petitioner's son to its schools tuition-free until the end of the 1999-2000 school year.
Petitioner contends that, when his son was first accepted at Midwood in 1998, he inquired about tuition for non-residents and was told that there was no tuition requirement for non-resident students admitted to Midwood's medical science program. Based upon this assurance, he enrolled his son at Midwood, foregoing a scholarship to attend Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Brooklyn. He never received any notification of a requirement to pay tuition until the principal's March 21, 2000 letter. Petitioner asserts that respondent's actions violate Education Law "3202 and "A-150 of the Chancellor's Regulations, and seeks an order directing respondent to allow his son to attend Midwood through 12th grade without the payment of any tuition.
Respondent admits that it was not aware that petitioner and his son were non-residents until March 2000, but denies that petitioner was told in 1998 that non-resident students would not be charged tuition to attend the Midwood program. Respondent asserts that as a matter of law, pursuant to Education Law "3202 and Chancellor's Regulation "A-150, a non-resident is not entitled to attend respondent's public schools without the payment of tuition. Respondent has offered, and continues to offer, to waive tuition for the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 school years, but will require the payment of tuition for ensuing school years if petitioner's son desires to continue his enrollment at Midwood.
The petition must be dismissed. Education Law "3202(1) provides, in pertinent part:
A person over five and under twenty-one years of age who has not received a high school diploma is entitled to attend the public schools maintained in the district in which such person resides without the payment of tuition.
The purpose of this statute is to limit the obligation of school districts to provide tuition-free education to those children whose parents or legal guardians reside within the district (Appeal of Felenczak, 39 Ed Dept Rep 125, Decision No. 14,191; Appeal of Duhaney, 38 id. 94, Decision No. 13,991).
In the instant appeal, petitioner concedes that he is not a resident. He argues, however, that because he relied to his detriment on an inaccurate statement made by respondent's employee, respondent should be equitably estopped from requiring his son to pay tuition, notwithstanding the fact that he is not a district resident.
The record does not reflect the identity or position of the individual who allegedly made the misrepresentation or what was actually said by such individual, and respondent denies that such representation was made. In any event, even if an employee of respondent did provide this erroneous information to petitioner, the courts have held that, except in limited circumstances not applicable here, equitable estoppel does not apply against a governmental subdivision (Parkview Associates v. City of New York, 71 NY2d 274 [1988]; Hamptons Hosp. v. Moore, 52 NY2d 88 [1981]; see Appeal of Ibrahim, 39 Ed Dept Rep 155, Decision No. 14,200; Appeal of Andela, 38 id. 388, Decision No. 14,062; Appeal of Holzer, 37 id. 549, Decision No. 13,924). Therefore, any such misrepresentation would not serve to estop respondent from requiring payment of non-resident tuition from petitioner as a condition of allowing
petitioner's son to continue his enrollment at Midwood.

Is it better to settle debt or pay in full?
My friend's sister, Sara, is facing difficulty to manage her finances. It's easier for her to opt for settlement if the creditors agree. However, we know that paying debts in full is better. However, through settlement, one can get rid of debts easily and start managing finances better. So, can you help - Is it better to settle debt or pay in full?
Paying off debts in full is always better. It helps to raise credit score. Opting for settlement can help someone to get rid of debts fast but it can reduce credit score. However, when one can't make the full payments, he/she can negotiate with the creditors and opt for settlement, and then budget well and manage finances better to raise score.
I agree with Good Nelly. Don't worry if you've opted for debt settlement. Initially, your credit score will go down. But, with time it'll get a boost only if you avoid doing those things that might hurt your credit score.

JOBS Act: Will H.R. 3606 Jumpstart Our Business Startups Or Open The Crowdfunding Fraud Floodgates?
Former SEC Chief Accountant warns that the JOBS Act - sponsored by one of the most corrupt Congressmen in Washington - won't increase employment but will simplify swindling.

HR 3606 Creates Crowdfunding Boiler Room Con Jobs

* Miami - Florida - US
March 24, 2012 - PRLog -- JOBS ACT OF 2012: WILL H.R. 3606 JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS OR OPEN THE CROWDFUNDING FRAUD FLOODGATES?
U.S. Representative Stephen Fincher (R-TN-8) is a Big Ag businessman whose company has received over $8.9 million in government subsidies (corporate welfare) over the past ten years, a politician flagged but never penalized for federal election law violations by the Federal Election Commission last July, and a legislator the political watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) cites as one of the Most Corrupt Members of Congress:
http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/mostcorrupt/entry/stephen-fincher
His latest contribution to the corporate greed pervading our government is sponsorship of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, HR 3606, which has been passed with massive bipartisan support by both the House and Senate, but was sent back to the House to approve some Senate changes on Thursday (22 March 2012):
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr3606
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpstart_Our_Business_Start...
As is so often the case in Washington DC, the label on this Pandora's box says nothing about its true contents. Euphemistically referred to as the "Jobs Act of 2012", former Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission Lynn E. Turner warns this bill would destroy small investor protections dating back as far as the creation of the SEC itself. "It WON'T create jobs, but it WILL simplify fraud," Turner said in an interview last week. "This would be better known as the Bucket-Shop and Penny-Stock Fraud Reauthorization Act of 2012."
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-13/job-creation-leg...
Mr. Turner is not alone in his assessment of HR3606. Crooked Congressman Fincher's summary claims the goal is to "increase American job creation and economic growth by improving access to the public capital markets for emerging growth companies [e.g. crowdfunding]", but President of the North American Securities Adminstrators Association (NASAA) Jack Herstein warns otherwise:
"Expanded access to capital markets for startups and small businesses can be beneficial, but only insofar as investors can be confident that they are protected, that transparency in the marketplace is preserved, and that investment opportunities are legitimate... Small businesses are important to job growth, and to improving the economy. However, by weakening investor protections and placing unnecessary restrictions on the ability of state securities regulators to protect retail investors from the risks associated with smaller, speculative investments, Congress is on the verge of enacting policies that, although intended to strengthen the economy, will in fact only make it more difficult for small businesses to access investment capital."
http://www.nasaa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/NASAA-Let...
Personally, I'd wager that the only jobs created by the JOBS Act of 2012 will be for Wall Street brokers who didn't meet quota and other con artists pitching worthless penny stocks from telemarketing boiler rooms and Internet scam sites.

'Kids in Danger' Honors 'Parents Against Tip-Overs' for Its Work Preventing Furniture Tip-Over Tragedies
Sometimes in the face of horrific tragedy, purpose can be found.
On May 26, 2022, Kids in Danger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by fighting for product safety, will honor Parents Against Tip-Overs (PAT) with its Best Friend Award for its advocacy and leadership in preventing furniture tip-overs.
PAT was founded in 2018 by parents of young children who lost their lives to furniture tip-over accidents. Two of PAT's founding members — Crystal Ellis and Janet McGee — are former Feldman Shepherd clients whose toddler sons died in separate incidents when an IKEA MALM dresser tipped over in their respective bedrooms.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a child is sent to the emergency room every 60 minutes due to a tip-over incident, and one to two children die every month. The CPSC reports that between 2000 and 2019, 218 people died from tip-overs of chests, bureaus and dressers. Yet, the stability of dressers sold in the United States is governed by nothing more than a voluntary safety standard created primarily by the furniture industry along with other interested parties. And while the history and frequency of dresser tip-overs is well-known within the furniture industry, parents typically are unaware that many children's dressers are unsafely designed and lack adequate warnings.
Ellis, McGee and the other members of Parents Against Tip-Overs got down to work.
PAT's advocacy led the U.S. House of Representatives to pass in June 2021, the Stop Tip-Overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth (STURDY) Act, which would require the CPSC to create a mandatory safety standard for dresser stability. The group is now working to pass the bill in the U.S. Senate. Similar legislation, which PAT advocated for, passed the House with bipartisan support in September 2019, but unfortunately stalled in the Senate, as the public health and economic crises created by the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the nation.
PAT's work also pushed the CPSC to unanimously vote earlier this year to move forward with a rule that would make significant changes to the way that dressers are safety-tested and labeled.
The group also educates the public about the risk and prevention of furniture tip-overs, including anchoring TVs and furniture.
Preventing Future Tragedies
Every day at Feldman Shepherd we are inspired by so many of our clients who dedicate themselves to a mission to prevent other families from suffering tragedies similar to their own. We commend Crystal Ellis, Janet McGee and all of PAT's dedicated members for the work that they do to improve product safety for children. We also extend our gratitude and appreciation to all our furniture tip-over clients who have tirelessly advocated to help keep children safe in their bedrooms.

Q: vbscript - Replace all spaces I have 6400+ records which I am looping through. For each of these: I check that the address is valid by testing it against something similar to what the Post Office uses (find address). I need to double check that the postcode I have pulled back matches.
The only problem is that the postcode may have been inputted in a number of different formats for example:
OP6 6YH
OP66YH
OP6  6YH.

If Replace(strPostcode," ","") = Replace(xmlAddress.selectSingleNode("//postcode").text," ","") Then
I want to remove all spaces from the string. If I do the Replace above, it removes the space for the first example but leave one for the third.
I know that I can remove these using a loop statement, but believe this will make the script run really slow as it will have to loop through 6400+ records to remove the spaces.
Is there another way?

A: I didn't realise you had to add -1 to remove all spaces
Replace(strPostcode," ","",1,-1)

A: Personally I've just done a loop like this:
Dim sLast
Do
    sLast = strPostcode
    strPostcode = Replace(strPostcode, " ", "")
    If sLast = strPostcode Then Exit Do
Loop

However you may want to use a regular expression replace instead:
Dim re : Set re = New RegExp
re.Global = True
re.Pattern = " +"  ' Match one or more spaces
WScript.Echo re.Replace("OP6 6YH.", "")
WScript.Echo re.Replace("OP6  6YH.", "")
WScript.Echo re.Replace("O  P   6       6    Y     H.", "")
Set re = Nothing

The output of the latter is:
D:\Development>cscript replace.vbs
OP66YH.
OP66YH.
OP66YH.
D:\Development>

A: This is the syntax Replace(expression, find, replacewith[, start[, count[, compare]]])
it will default to -1 for count and 1 for start. May be some dll is corrupt changing the defaults of Replace function.

A: String.Join("", YourString.Split({" "}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries))

Because you get all strings without spaces and you join them with separator "".

Hands down, the best part about fall is being able to bust out the hoodies again. Summer was great and all, but its time for fall to move through and bring us back to that cold weather we love. The Main Vein draws inspiration from the transition between falling leaves and bare trees. Throw this on, and ease into the coming winter months in complete comfort. As always with our Cut.&.Sew series, this piece was completely designed and created in Burlington, VT. We chose to source 100% organic cotton from our neighbors to the North to reduce transportation pollution, and create a high quality garment that is both good for you, and the earth.


I was excited to find this video excerpt of The Messenger on YouTube. Bill Viola's piece excited me when I first saw it and a continued engagement with his art over ment years now, led to my MA dissertation which you can read here which I called "Rites of Passage: A Theological Reflection on the Contemporary Video Artwork of Bill Viola.
The summary of the project reads: It is clear that our culture is experiencing a time of crisis. Some have put this down to the death throes of Modernity giving way to Postmodernity. This paradigm-shift has led to the death of meaning, unregulated interpretation, and assertions of the will to power which disregard the Other. It is also a time where the sublime is re-presented. The postmodern sublime arises out of the gap between conception and imagination. There is a yearning to be able to bridge that gap, but not by longing for a non-existent Golden Age, but rather by re-presenting the unrepresentable with a disfigured form of the signifier itself. This whole project may be put down to a corporate crisis of Self.
I should digg your post so other people can see it, very useful, I had a tough time finding the results searching on the web, thanks.

$$`y^{2}+x^{2}-2x=0$$
Then for common tangent I equated the $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$ of parabola and curve and I'm getting $x=1/3$
But the answer I have says tangent is $x=0$
What am I doing wrong?

A:
I am not sure how you got $x = 1/3$. From the graphs of the curves, it is clear that the common tangent is $x=0$

Driver's Seat: Organizations join forces to create mobile ag education unit
Farm organizations in seven north Alabama counties are putting students in the driver's seat to agricultural education with a mobile learning lab called "Ag In Action."
The centerpiece of the 24-foot trailer is a Case cotton picker cab equipped with a flat-screen television and motion-effect seat. Students can feel what it's like to harvest row crops, work on a cattle or poultry farm, and cut timber.
"The ultimate goal is to plant a seed in the minds of children and instill a love of agriculture in them," said Beth Farmer, 48, county executive director of the Farm Service Agency in Cherokee County.
Etowah County Farmers Federation Secretary Sharron Gross and Cherokee County Farm-City Co-Chair Dewandee Neyman developed the idea for a portable classroom after seeing similar projects at national conferences. Their project took off when the Coosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council awarded Ag In Action almost $20,000 in grants.
Farmer, along with former Etowah County Soil and Water Conservation District Education Coordinator Sarah Butterworth, 35, are part of a coalition created to build and operate the trailer.
"It's vital kids know where food and fiber comes from," said Butterworth, who was recently hired part-time by the Etowah County Farmers Federation to coordinate use of the mobile classroom. "They need to know the fields they drive by and the food they eat every day are connected."
Ag In Action will serve kindergarten through fifth-grade students in Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, DeKalb, Etowah, Marshall and St. Clair counties. Its first event is the Etowah County Farm-City Outdoor Classroom Oct. 2-3, but Farmer hopes it will be scheduled at least three days a week.
"A lot of schools have been forced to cut down on field trips," Farmer said. "This really helps because we can take the trailer to the schools and teach multiple grades about agriculture."
In addition to the harvest simulator, Ag In Action has a station for four computers where students can play the My American Farm game from the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture; an outside television where children can watch videos; a portable cotton gin; a cow milking activity and a water quality station.
"We wanted to make sure we don't have a line of kids waiting to get in that cab," Butterworth said. "We want something for them to touch, feel and experience at all times."
Although the mobile classroom wasn't completed until September, it began teaching students lessons months earlier. When workers scheduled to install the cotton picker cab dropped the project at the last minute, Farmer called on friends at the Cherokee County Career and Technology Center for help.
"The teachers and students here stepped up, came to our rescue and took (the trailer) to the next level," Farmer said.
Gaylesville High School junior Trevor Webb, 16, was among the students who wired the cab's television monitor.
"It's fun to do, and it's a great opportunity to use what we've learned," Webb said. "I think it's a great idea because the kids will be able to see how to grow the cotton for the clothes we wear."
Electronics instructor Keith Tolbert said working on Ag In Action is preparing students for the workplace.
"The experience they can get from this one project is more than I can teach them in an entire semester," he said.
Farmer and Butterworth said the Ag In Action mobile classroom cost about $30,000 to build. Supporters include the Farmers Federations and Soil and Water Conservation Districts in the seven-county area; Coosa Valley and Alabama's Mountains Rivers and Valleys RC&D Councils; Snead Ag; First South Farm Credit; Cherokee Gin and Cotton Co.; Alabama Cooperative Extension System; USDA Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service; Tile Liquidators in Gadsden; Alabama Farm Credit; and the Cherokee County Career and Technology Center.

You may be surprised to find out that there is a correlation between sleep deprivation and weight gain. The less sleep you get, the more weight you will gain. But it also works in the other direction - the more weight you gain, the less sleep you may get. Several factors influence both parts of this equation. Usually, it's more than one factor that contributes to increased weight associated with sleeplessness, especially when you look at eating habits as well as physiological causes.
For some, the weight gain associated with loss of sleep comes from behavioral habits. These habits, which can be linked with a loss of sleep, contribute to extra daily calories and reduced caloric consumption.
Throughout the day, you eat because you are hungry and your body is using up energy it receives from food. At night, if you don't sleep, you are using up energy just as you do during the day, which means you get hungry and chances are, you eat. This means that you are packing in many more calories than you would if you slept for at least six hours.
You are also less likely to eat healthy foods in the middle of the night. You probably don't want to start cooking a full meal; instead you choose easy to grab treats such as a bag of chips, candy, or ice cream. This means you will be eating more calories, as well as much more fat than you would have during the day.
Deprived sleepers also are tired during the day and often eat to fight the urge to take a nap. Again, these foods may not be the healthiest and can contribute extra calories too. This can also contribute to weight gain.
When you eat during the night, chances are, you aren't working to use up those extra calories. You are most likely trying to fall asleep lying in bed or watching TV on the couch. Being tired may also cause you to decrease your physical activity level which can also lead to weight gain.
There are other reasons why sleep deprivation is associated with weight gain. This isn't a problem that is soley due to behavioral choices.
When you don't get enough sleep, your body doesn't have a chance to restore itself. This means that your bodily functions start to slow down, including your metabolism. Your metabolism is responsible for speeding up the process of food out of your system. The slower it is, the more your body hangs on to unneeded calories and fat.
A recent study also suggested that fat cells in the body need sleep to function properly and even short amounts of time without sleep can lead to these cells not working properly. This can also lead to weight gain and diabetes.
The lack of sleep also changes the balance of hormones in your body, especially ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin spurs you to eat, and leptin tells you when to stop. When you are sleep-deprived, your body creates more ghrelin and less leptin; this leads to more eating, additional calories, and extra weight gain.
People who are overweight are more likely to suffer from a serious illness called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea patients wake up many times during the night, often without realizing, frequently due to a blocked airway. The airway is often blocked by the excess tissue around the neck and throat region, which is common in overweight people.
In this situation, being overweight can lead to sleep apnea. What is also important to point out is that doctors have determined that those that are suffering from sleep apnea are also prone to weight gain. Because these patients also suffer from sleep deprivation, the weight gain may be due to similar reasons like changes in the levels of the hormones leptin and ghrelin, changes in metabolism, and lower levels of physical activity.
Just because you have a sleep disorder, doesn't mean you need to gain weight. Similarly, gaining weight doesn't have to interfere with your sleep. There are many ways you can take charge of your situation.
Keep your hands busy by doing something that doesn't allow you to eat.
Set an eating timer by commiting to a time to stop eating each day.
Keep junk food out of the house.
Another way to deal with weight gain associated with sleep problems is to manage your sleep deprivation. The treatments for sleep deprivation depend on the underlying cause of the condition. Improving your sleep hygiene can be a first step. Better sleep hygiene can help you increase your sleep time; however, if lifestyle changes do not improve your symptoms, you may need assistance from a physician.
A sleep specialist will probably be needed if you have long-standing sleep deprivation that did not improve with lifestyle changes. Conditions like sleep apnea or other sleep disorders may not change without a specialist's help.
Your primary care provider may also be able to help manage your weight gain through dietary changes. If you have more significant metabolic changes like insulin resistance or diabetes, you may need a diabetes specialist or an endocrinologist to treat your condition.
Even if you don't eat at night, your body still is unable to process food as efficiently when you are without sleep. However, you can take measures to counteract the weight gain and to improve your sleep. Remember to eat sensibly and rest as much as possible until you are able to get the sleep you so desperately need.

All the Netflix Live-Action Anime Adaptations No One Asked for
Netflix's latest anime adaptations: now with 100% more difficult acting!
It looks like Netflix is on its way to annoying as many anime fans as possible by announcing more and more live-action anime adaptations. It turns out that a My Hero Academia movie is currently in the works at Netflix, and the news brings the number of anime adaptations the platform is working on to three.
Apart from My Hero Academia, Netflix is set to adapt the iconic manga and anime Death Note, as well as One Piece. And fans of all three legendary anime series are far from happy about it.
According to fans, "nobody asked for it" and "nobody wanted it"; people keep insisting that virtually all live-action anime adaptations end up being disastrous. Instead of adaptations, fans say, Netflix should have really considered making more original anime shows, and "not ruining the masterpieces."
However, Netflix does not plan to stop adapting anime series. Here's what's coming:
My Hero Academia is the latest project in the anime adaptation series, set in the world where 80 percent of people are born with a "quirk", or their own superpower. However, the main character is in the unlucky 20 percent – really bad news for someone whose biggest dream is to join the prestigious superhero academy. However, he doesn't want to give up on his dream and goes anyway.
The premiere date has not yet been scheduled, and casting and plot details are being kept under wraps.

When it comes to Netflix's second anime effort, Death Note, the only hope for fans is the fact that the Duffer brothers, who are responsible for Stranger Things, are in charge of the upcoming adaptation. Also, the author, Halia Abdel-Meguid, is a long-time Death Note fan and a Japanese speaker.
Still, Netflix has a lot of catching up to do after its 2017 attempt to adapt Death Note. At the time, the film was grilled by fans and critics alike, with people accusing Netflix of whitewashing the series and completely ruining the story.
One Piece is the 1997 manga that became so popular that it was quickly turned into an anime. It follows the story of Monkey D. Luffy. He is a pirate who ate a devil fruit called the Gum-Gum fruit as a child, and his body became rubbery after that, stretching, bending and inflating at will.
Filming on the Netflix One Piece adaptation wrapped in August 2022 and is currently in post-production, so it will likely be the first to hit the screen, although a premiere date has not yet been scheduled.

Q: Hypergeometric function argument simplification Let $_2 F_1 (a,b,c,z)$ be the hypergeometric function. As a result of some integration, I obtained the following expression
$$
f(x) = \frac{\Gamma(2k)\Gamma(2m)}{\Gamma(m)^2\Gamma(k)^2} \frac{\Gamma(m+k)^2}{\Gamma(2k+2m)} \frac{_2 F_1 (2k,k+m,2k+2m,1-\frac{1}{x})}{x^{k+1}}.
$$
The parameters $m$ and $k$ are positive numbers. I will have to use this result in some other integrals, namely the average bit error rate and the capacity integrals:
$$
P(E) = \int_0^{+\infty} \alpha \mathrm{erfc}(\sqrt{\beta x}) f(x) dx,
$$
and
$$
C = \frac{1}{\ln(2)}\int_0^{+\infty} \log(1+x) f(x) dx.
$$
I thought of using the Meijer G function to obtained some closed-form expression but I need to transform the argument of the hypergeometric function in $f(x)$ to be linear. Is there any relation that could help me ? and is there a relation that can simplify the product of such hypergometric function and rational function $\frac{1}{x^{k+1}}$ ?
Thank you.

A: Here is a transformation for the $_2F_1 (a,b,c,z)$ part, that results in a
form where the argument is linear in $x.\,$ With $z=1-\frac{1}{x}$ we have $\frac{z}{z-1} = 1-x$, and
$1-z = \frac{1}{x}$. Therefore the first transformation from http://dlmf.nist.gov/15.8.E1 gives
$$_2F_1 \left(a,b,c,1-\frac{1}{x}\right) = \, _2F_1(a,b,c,z)\\
= \,(1-z)^a\, _2F_1 \left(a,c-b,c,\frac{z}{z-1}\right)\\
= x^{-a} \,_2F_1 (a,c-b,c,1-x)
$$
And for the second formula:
$$_2F_1 \left(a,b,c,1-\frac{1}{x}\right) = x^{-b} \,_2F_1 (c-a,b,c,1-x)
$$
You have to attention to range restrictions for $x$, but I think they are valid for $x>0$.

A: I finally got what I was looking for. In line 21 of Table 8.4.49 in "Integrals and Series, vol. 3" by A.P. Prudnikov, Yu.A. Brychkov and O.I. Marichev, we can find a relation between the $_2F_1$ hypergeometric function and the Meijer G function as:
$$
_2F_1 \left(a,b;c;1-\frac{1}{x}\right) = B_{11} G_{22}^{22} \left( x \left| \begin{array}{c}
1,1+a+b-c \\ a,b \end{array} \right. \right).
$$
By using also a Meijer G representation for $\mathrm{erfc}$ or $\log$, we can solve the above integrals mentioned in the question.

A: Those things are not really very hard only quite tedious since it takes a lot of time to solve them even when using Mathematica, We want to compute;
\begin{equation}
lhs_{k,m} := F_{2,1}\left[ \begin{array}{cc} 2k & k+m \\ 2k+2 m \end{array}; 1- \frac{1}{x} \right]
\end{equation}
Firstly take $m=0$ then:
\begin{eqnarray}
lhs_{k,0}&=&\sum\limits_{p=0}^\infty (k+m)^{(p)} \frac{(1-\frac{1}{x})^p}{p!}\\
&=& \sum\limits_{p=0}^\infty \binom{k+m+p-1}{p} (1-\frac{1}{x})^p \\
&=& \sum\limits_{p=0}^\infty \binom{-k-m}{p} (\frac{1}{x}-1)^p = (1+\frac{1}{x} - 1)^{-k-m}=x^{k+m}
\end{eqnarray}
Now we take $m=1$.
\begin{eqnarray}
lhs_{k,1}&=& \sum\limits_{p=0}^\infty \frac{(2k)(2k+1)}{(2k+p)(2k+p+1)} \cdot (k+m)^{(p)} \frac{(1-\frac{1}{x})^p}{p!}\\
&=& (2k)(2k+1) \sum\limits_{p=0}^\infty \left( \frac{1}{2k+p} - \frac{1}{2k+p+1} \right) \binom{-k-1}{p} (\frac{1}{x} - 1)^p \\
&=& (2k)^{(2)} \int\limits_0^1 \left( t^{2k-1} - t^{2 k} \right) (1+t (\frac{1}{x} - 1))^{-k-1} dt \\
&=& (2k)^{(2)} \frac{x^{2 k}}{(1-x)^{2k+1}} \int\limits_1^{1/x} \frac{(u-1)^{2k-1}}{u^{k+1}} (1-x u) du \\
&=&(2k)^{(2)} \frac{x^{2 k}}{(1-x)^{2k+1}} \sum\limits_{p=0}^{2k-1} \binom{2k-1}{p} (-1)^{p+1}\cdot \\
&&
\left(
\frac{(\frac{1}{x})^{p-k} - 1}{p-k} 1_{k\neq p} + \log(1/x) 1_{k=p} - x \frac{(\frac{1}{x})^{p-k+1} - 1}{p-k+1} 1_{k \neq p+1} - x \log(1/x) 1_{k=p+1}
\right)
\end{eqnarray}
From the above it is not hard to see that those calculations can be carried through to higher values of $m$ and then the generic result can be proven by induction. The result reads:
\begin{eqnarray}
lhs_{k,m}= \frac{(2k)^{(2m)}}{(2m-1)!} \sum\limits_{q=0}^{2m-1} \binom{2m-1}{q} (-1)^q \frac{x^{2k+q}}{(1-x)^{2k+q}} \sum\limits_{p=0}^{2k+q-1} \binom{2k+q-1}{p} (-1)^{q-1-p}
\left(
\frac{(\frac{1}{x})^{p-k-m+1} -1}{p-k-m+1} 1_{p-k-m \neq 1} + \log(\frac{1}{x}) 1_{p-k-m=1}
\right)
\end{eqnarray}
for $k=1,2,\cdots$ and $m=1,2,\cdots$ and $lhs_{0,m}=1$ and $lhs_{k,0}=x^k$.

Lehmbruck Museum's most extensive exhibition celebrates its 100th anniversary
Employees stand next to an untitled sculpture by German artist Wilhelm Lehmbruck at the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg. A special exhibition, entitled 100 years of Lehmbruck's 'Kneeling Woman' - Paris 1911, opens to the public on 24 September 2011 to mark the 100th anniversary of Lehmbruck's sculpture, the Kneeling Woman. In addition to works from Lehmbruck, the exhibition will also present artworks by Auguste Rodin, Henri Matisse and Fernand Leger. EPA/VICTORIA BONN-MEUSER.
DUISBURG.- Grace kneels in Duisburg, was forged in 1911 in a Parisian studio. For its creator Wilhelm Lehmbruck, the Kneeling Woman became a completely personal mark of creation. Affecting the art of the modern era like an impulse, with its graceful yet peculiar pose and a gesture that until that time was unique the piece has exercised an immense influence on sculpture and painting in the past hundred years. In 2011 the Kneeling Woman celebrates its anniversary, and the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg thus dedicates one of the most complex and extensive exhibitions in their history to the piece, curated by an international team managed by Marion Bornscheuer, curator of the Lehmbruck Collection and painting and graphics.
For the 100th birthday, the Lehmbruck Museum's exhibition in three sections examines not only the genesis of motifs for this world-renowned sculpture, but also allows the atmosphere of Paris in the early 20th century to come to life once again. It illuminates the cultural scene at precisely the time in which Wilhelm Lehmbruck lived, worked and exhibited in the French metropolis among artists and intellectuals, in the Café du Dôme, at that time the rendezvous of the Paris bohème, in his backyard studio in the Avenue du Maine and in the legendary Salle 41 of the Salon des Indépendants. And the exhibition also focuses on the cultural context of the era, on music, theatre and dance, and invites visitors to undertake an audio-visual trip through time and delve into the Paris of a century ago, made possible through cooperation with the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Duisburg Filmforum and the Deutsche Oper am Rhein.
"We are particularly pleased to gain such outstanding partners for our project," says Raimund Stecker, the director of the LehmbruckMuseum about the exhibition preparations. With loans from the New York MoMa, the Paris Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Guggenheim Museum, the Berlin National Gallery, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Fondation Beyeler and other addresses of excellence, Duisburg is preparing a sparkling birthday for one of Lehmbruck's major works. In addition to works from Lehmbruck, the exhibition also displays sculpture, painting and graphic works from Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Constantin Brancusi, Maurice Denis, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Delaunay, Amedeo Modigliani, Aristide Maillol, Fernand Léger and Bernhard Hoetger.

A new study by accounting and advisory network, Moore Stephens, has found that the number of company directors receiving bans for five years or more has reached a six-year high.
Over the course of the last year, the Insolvency Service disqualified 573 directors for five years or more. Bans of five years or longer are starting to be used more and more by the Insolvency Service as they try to tackle the practices of dodgy directors and plan to hand out harsher punishments if directors are found to be directly responsible for the company's downfall.
A company director will be disqualified because they have been found to be personally liable for any losses incurred by the business, they have traded whilst insolvent or they have been taking part in criminal activity. When appointed, the licensed insolvency practitioner (IP) will investigate the actions of the company director(s) for the three years prior to entering an insolvency procedure.
The Insolvency Service can hand out disqualifications of up to 15 years in the most serious cases. With the Insolvency Service taking a much tougher stance as it tries to crackdown on dodgy directors, they are making use of the options they have available to them to hand out longer bans to try to deter other directors from taking part in activities they shouldn't be.
As criminal activity usually leads to criminal prosecution, alongside the director ban, the Insolvency Service is concentrating on lowering the instances in which directors are repaying friends and family ahead of their other creditors and using money from their company for their own personal benefit.
They are also working closely with HMRC to help them chase unpaid tax by businesses. As it is relatively easy to prove a tax debt to HMRC, these kind of debts make it much harder for directors to get away with deliberately not paying.

The 2/5th battalion was formed on Salisbury Plain in September 1914. They joined the 2/1st Hampshires in the 2nd Wessex Division in the October and sailed for India on 13 December.
They arrived in Bombay on 4 January 1915, the Divison was broken up and battalions were placed around India.
The battalion embarked for Egypt in March 1917 and transferred to the 233rd Brigade in the 75th Division in the April.
In the early part of WW1, Kantara was an important point in the defence of Suez against Turkish attacks. It marked the starting point of the new railway east towards Sinai and Palestine, begun in January 1916.
The town developed into a major hospital centre and the cemetery was begun in February 1916.
It was more than doubled in size after the Armistice, when graves were brought in from other cemeteries and battlefields.
It now holds 1562 Commonwealth WW1 graves.
Harford succumbed to malaria, probably whilst fighting the Turks in Palestine.
His headstone reads: "Dearly loved, sadly missed."

Likó Marcell (Várpalota, 1979. január 6. –) magyar zenész. 2017-ben megnyerte az Artisjus Az év dalszövegírója díjat.

Édesapja magyar, míg édesanyja lengyel származású.

A gyermek Marci visszahúzódó volt, nem járt zeneoktatásra, helyette inkább számítástechnika szakkörre, mert ott egyedül lehetett. Később az egyik ihletforrása a Jézus Krisztus Szupersztár c. rockopera volt. A Faller Jenő Szakközépiskolában tanult, itt alakult meg az első zenekara is, amiben Nirvana feldolgozásokat játszottak. Előtte Marcell az iskolai énekkarban énekelt. Ebből a zenekarból lépett ki a Vad Fruttik elődjéért.

Élete első felét meghatározta iszákos apja és összetört anyja, sérelmeit dalszövegekben és versekben adta ki. Főiskolás éveit csak "tripként", drogos utazásként említi. Művészetére a tudatmódosító szerek is befolyással voltak, de többszöri rosszullét után leállt ezzel az életmóddal.

Marcell a zenélés és a Vad Fruttik mellett rengeteget olvas, a Petőfi Rádióban könyvbemutató műsort is vezetett, Veszprémben pedig egy könyvesboltban is dolgozott, ebbe a boltba a mai napig visszajár szabadidejében dolgozni.

Egyik legjobb barátja és pótapja a József Attila-díjas író és költő, Géczi János. Az irodalmárral egy egyetemi előadás kapcsán ismerkedett meg, az énekes tőle kért segítséget a dalszövegeihez, majd 2015-ben a boltok polcára került A bunkerrajzoló c. kötet, melyet Marci életéről írtak ketten.

Vad Fruttik

A Vad Fruttik zenekart 1996-ban alapították Várpalotán. 1999-ben megnyertek egy tehetségkutatót, amivel egy lemezszerződés is járt, ezt a lemezt azonban nem sikerült rögzíteniük, így a banda feloszlott.

2006-ban megint megnyertek egy pályázatot és rögzíthettek három dalt. Ezek közül az egyiket – a Szerelmes dalt – elkezdték játszani a rádiók is. Ősszel a Mama Records gondozásában megjelent az első nagylemezük Rózsikámnak digitálisan címmel. Elkészítették az első klipjüket is a Nekem senkim sincsen dalukhoz. A lemez felkerült több zenei csatorna slágerlistájára is, országos turnéra indultak, felléptek a Szigeten és a VOLT-on is. A VOLT Fesztivál válogatáslemezére felkerült az ikonikus Sárga Zsiguli is.

2008 novemberében adták ki a második nagylemezüket az Egy éjszaka Bohémiában c. korongot (A legjobb helyezése a MAHASZ listán az ötödik hely volt.) A Vad Fruttik ekkor már játszott teltház előtt a Zöld Pardonban és az A38 hajón is. A 2009-es Fonogram díjátadón már jelöltként léphettek fel.

2010 októberében folytatódott a sikertörténet, kiadták a Fénystopposokat (legjobb MAHASZ helyezés a nyolcadik hely), ami óriási népszerűségnek örvendett és örvend a mai napig. 2011-ben jelölték a lemezt Fonogram-díjra.

2013-ban kiadták a Pipacs EP-t, mely a 2014-es Darabok c. lemez előfutára volt. Ezzel a koronggal vezették a MAHASZ Top 40-es albumlistáját 2014 januárjában. Jelenleg is ezzel a lemezzel turnéznak országszerte.

2015 nyarának végén megjelentették a Mi lenne jó c. EP-jüket, majd ugyanez év decemberében kiadták a Tudom milyen c. ötödik albumukat.
