What should one do when there is a conflict between shar'i texts?
Publication : 19-09-2020
How can we understand the argument that says that shar'i rules and regulations came one after another? For example, there may be a hadeeth that makes something obligatory, then we find another hadeeth on the same issue that does not make it obligatory. Some scholars have suggested the following:
1. Ruling is that it is obligatory, because in principle commands are obligatory, and no attention is to be paid to the second hadeeth on the basis that rules and regulations were still being revealed one after another.
2. Some try to reconcile them by saying that the command in this case means that it is mustahabb and not obligatory.
How are we to understand the phrase "shar'i rules and regulations were still coming one after another"? Why can we not accept the ruling that it is mustahabb, in the previous example, on the basis of the same statement that this command may be understood as encouraging (rather than obliging)?.
It is well known that many shar'i rulings were introduced in stages, paying attention to people's circumstances at the time of the revelation. So something may have been mustahabb at the beginning, then it became obligatory, or it may have been permitted then it was forbidden, or vice versa.
What matters is the ultimate ruling.
In Saheeh al-Bukhaari (989) it was narrated that Shihaab az-Zuhri said: What is to be adopted is the latest action of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
And Muslim (1113) narrated it from him as follows: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to follow the latest instructions.
According to another version: They used to follow the latest command, regarding it as abrogating others and as being the one to be followed.
This that was stated by az-Zuhri is what was followed by the majority of scholars: so the later of two shar'i texts is what is to be followed, as the shar'i rulings came one after another and many obligatory duties and rulings were changed at later stages.
But this principle is only to be applied when it is difficult to reconcile between shar'i texts in any possible way. However, if it is possible to reconcile between them, then this reconciliation is to be given precedence over the other approach (which is to adopt one and reject the other).
One of the well-established guidelines among the scholars is that reconciling between two texts takes precedence over adopting one and rejecting the other (after examining the soundness of both). Or in other words: considering two reports and adopting both is better than adopting one and rejecting the other.
So adopting all texts is to be given precedence over following some and rejecting others.
Al-Haafiz ibn Rajab said: If it is possible to reconcile between them and act upon all of them, it is obligatory to do so and it is not allowed to claim that one abrogates another. This is a rule that is to be applied all the time.
End quote from Fath al-Baari, by Ibn Rajab, 5/84
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar sad: Reconciling is preferable to adopting one and rejecting another (after examining the soundness of both), according to the consensus of the scholars of usool.
End quote from Fath al-Baari, by Ibn Hajar, 9/474
If it is not possible to reconcile between two shar'i texts in any acceptable way, then the later text is to be followed in that case, and is regarded as abrogating the earlier text.
If it is not known which is the earlier text and which is the later text, then the scholars have to decide which has greater credibility, and there are many ways of determining that, which the scholars have discussed in detail in the books of Usool. For more information on that please see al-Bahr al-Muheet by az-Zarkashi, 4/442, and Irshaad al-Fuhool by ash-Shawkaani, 2/264
An-Nawawi said: If two hadeeths appear to contradict one another, then there is no option but to reconcile between them or determine which is more credible. That should only be done by scholars who have knowledge of both fiqh and hadeeth and scholars of usool who have great knowledge in the field, who are able to detect subtleties of meaning and are well versed in that. Any scholar of that calibre will not find it difficult to do that, except in rare cases.
Hadeeths that appear to contradict one another are of two types:
Those that can be reconciled, in which case that is what must be done and both must be followed and acted upon. Whenever we can find a more useful interpretation of a text, then we should adopt that interpretation, and we should not decide that one abrogates the other when it is possible to reconcile between texts, because when a text is abrogated it means that one of the two hadeeths is being dismissed and is no longer being followed.
Those that contradict one another in such a way that it is not possible by any means to reconcile between them. If we know that one of them abrogates the other, then we must give it precedence. Otherwise we should strive hard to work out which of the two is more credible, such as by examining the number and calibre of narrators and all other means of determining credibility, of which there are nearly 50 ways that were compiled by al-Haafiz Abu Bakr al-Haazimi at the beginning of his book an-Naasikh wal-Mansookh.
End quote from Sharh an-Nawawi 'ala Muslim, 1/35.
To sum up:
If two shar'i texts contradict one another, the first thing we must do is try to reconcile between them in an acceptable manner. If that is not possible then we should follow the later of the two texts. If it is not known which is the later one, we should examine them to find out which report is more credible and adopt it.
It is essential to note that the methodology of the fuqaha' in reconciling between shar'i texts may differ in application from one faqeeh to another. Some of them may find a way to reconcile the texts, whilst others may think that reconciling between two hadeeths is farfetched, so they may decide that one abrogates the other or they may examine them in order to determine which is more credible, and so on.

By what metric shall we measure a story—any story—and, in this case, a movie?
In part, I believe it is any creation's capacity to elicit an authentic feeling and, more fully—particularly with film—its capacity to create an alternate reality for a few minutes or, ideally, for a couple solid hours.
By that metric, Jackie crosses the finish line.
And yet it is hamstrung by three ghosts in the machine: antagonism, a bit of overacting, and audio.
Billy Crudup's character, a journalist interviewing Mrs. Kennedy not long after the funeral, is unnecessarily antagonistic. He bates and demeans Natalie Portman's character in a way that I find false, and it is distracting from the momentum we might otherwise feel early in the film.
Auditorily, the film is saturated in a bleak, depressing score by Mica Levi. I understand and appreciate that the music is intended to be unsettling, foreboding, disturbing, and on those counts it succeeds wildly! But it is so oppressive, so claustrophobically unpleasant (think James Wan violins and flutes!) that it makes enjoying the film an unnecessarily arduous task, like looking at a Monet whilst someone drags her nails down a chalkboard.
The cinematography, however, is lush, rich, deep, and gorgeous from the get-go. It has a Kodak vibe (like The Wonder Years) that is equally gritty, warm, and inviting.
The assassination, the First Lady's bloodstained clothing, the interview that serves as the film's organizing principle, the funeral planning recounted throughout said interview, brief musical interludes featuring Richard Burton and the cast of Camelot, Kennedy's place in history, the grievous loss of a virile young president/husband/father/brother/son, the hollowed-out blackness that insidiously creeps through the lives of two innocent children, the powerful emotions that one experiences as Jackie climbs higher and higher in muddy heels up Arlington National Cemetery to plant a stake marking the spot that will become The John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame, his interred coffin flanked on either side by tinier coffins of Arabella and Patrick (his two children who preceded him in death). These moments are quiet, solemn marvels in filmmaking.
The scene portraying Secret Service agent Clint Hill (who immediately leapt onto the trunk of the car and shielded Jackie en route to Parkland Memorial Hospital), the scene in which Jackie showers and blood flows down her back, and the scene in which we see the Eternal Flame conceived were—for me—each, alone, worth the price of admission, and certainly reasons enough to endure the abominable soundtrack.
If the score had been as beautiful as everything surrounding it (imagine A Beautiful Mind, The Prince of Tides, or virtually anything by late greats James Horner or John Williams), Jackie would rank among my favorite films of 2016, because Natalie eventually does convince me she is Jackie, and I am transported—for perhaps 2/3rds of the film—believing that I am in the White House, that I am with Jackie in Hyannis Port, that Natalie has channeled—more authentically than I first gave credit—one Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy.
I now consider Portman's metamorphosis worthy of an Oscar nomination on January 24th, and will be curious to see if others agree when that bright day comes.

Was THIS Man Responsible for Framing Michael Flynn All Along?
by Matt Palumbo Posted: June 15, 2019
Michael Flynn was only able to serve his position as Donald Trump's National Security Adviser for less than a month before he had to step down following a controversial call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that he allegedly lied to the FBI about.
Then-President Barack Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn only two days after the election, but his warning was hardly prophetic. Flynn didn't' have to resign for any real wrongdoing – but because he was framed.
The key details we knew thus far are this:
On December 29th, 2016, Michael Flynn received a phone call while on vacation in the Dominican Republic from Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Earlier in the day, in retaliation for Russian interference in the election (not collusion), then-President Barack Obama forced the closure of Russian-owned compounds in New York and Maryland, and slapped new sanctions against Russia. Is there any doubt that such a move would prompt Ambassador Kislyak to call Flynn, Trump's National Security Adviser at the time, to discuss what had just happened?
In taking Kislyak's call, Flynn must've been aware that the call would be intercepted and monitored, given that he was speaking on an unsecured line in the Dominican Republic. Had Flynn been on U.S. soil he would've been able to prevent such surveillance, but due to the timing of Obama's firings and Flynn's location in the Dominican Republic, his conversation with Kislyak was intercepted and recorded.
Flynn was interviewed by two FBI agents about the call, in which he allegedly lied about discussing sanctions with Kislyak to them. Bizarrely, two sources familiar with the meetings said Comey told lawmakers the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn didn't believe he lied or intentionally provided any misleading answers.
Now there's a new question – could Kislyak have been involved in framing Flynn too? American Greatness' Julie Kelly has uncovered a wealth of information that portrays Kislyak in a questionably light.
For starters, Kislyak has bragged about gathering information on conservatives:
Kislyak appears 55 times in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's recent report. Alleged spy Maria Butina, sentenced last month to 18 months in federal prison for one count of conspiracy, met with Kislyak numerous times in 2015 and 2016 and promised to "collect the contact information of prominent conservatives" for him. He has openly bragged about his numerous contacts with Trump associates.
Visited the Obama White House liberally:
According to visitor logs, Kislyak visited the Obama White House nearly two dozen times, including at least twice in October 2016. He met with National Security Adviser Susan Rice in the White House on October 7, 2016, the same day intelligence officials issued the warning about Russian election interference.
Told Jared Kushner he had a direct line to Putin, then claimed it was Kushner who requested it:
In December 2016, Kislyak continued to pursue meetings with Trump's son-in-law. "Kushner declined several proposed meeting dates. The Russian ambassador also was insistent about wanting "Kushner to meet someone who had a direct line to Putin." Totally not sketchy. At all. A May 2017 Washington Post article claimed Kislyak told Moscow that it was Kushner, not him, who was seeking a "secret communications channel" between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
Kelly drew attention to other oddities too, including the fact that Kislyak received an unexplained $120,000 payment 10 days after the 2017 election. Kislyak also maintained a friendly relationship with Michael McFaul, Obama's ambassador to Russia for two years, and a believer in the collusion conspiracy. McFaul had heaped praise on Kislyak just weeks after the 2016 election, which seems odd for a man seriously convinced that the country he represents just interfered in our election.
McFaul also may have revealed some anti-Trump tendencies of Kislyak. When Kislyak attended a Trump foreign policy speech in Washington D.C., McFaul tweeted about his friend; "Did Russian ambassador Kislyak attend opposition campaign event today? #doublestandards." Doesn't that sound like McFaul questioning why his friend is attending the "enemies" event?
Kislyak was right back in March when he called the idea of Russian interference more generally a "hoax" – but he's one Russia who certainly may have interfered in a way of his own.

Dynamic and versatile, this Montreal based ensemble continues a grand tradition of the recorder ensemble in Québec. They reveal an instrument capable of expressing the most extreme emotions and the most gentle of nuances. Internationally, they have performed in France, Germany and the United States. Michel Pintal from Le Soleil wrote that "Flûte Alors! is like a good wine; they stunned the audience with repertoire from two very different eras." Their Virtuosi Concert takes us on a journey from Bach to jazz to a neo-baroque work commissioned for composer Matthias Maute, who, as leader of Ensemble Caprice, performed here in January 2015.

Milo considers second access to treatment plant
MILO—At the Milo meeting Monday evening, July 19, Milo Councilman Jim Harris told the town board he had recently met with village Public Works Director Dick Osgood and village public works committee chairman Willie Allison. The meeting was about the possibility of building a road from an area near the wastewater treatment plant to Himrod Road. Franklin Street to Sherman Street is now the only access to the plant.
Harris spoke to the board about the matter during the July 19 meeting of the town board. He said there is a proposal for the village, town and Yates County to work together to build a new road. Milo Supervisor John Socha said he would like to see an estimate of the cost of the project, asking, "If we help, does the town benefit?" The bridge over the railroad tracks on Sherman Street near the village wastewater treatment plant was closed several years ago. Harris said a new bridge would probably cost $3 million. Socha asked that Osgood be invited to the Aug. 16 meeting of the town board to discuss the project.
In other business: Scheduled a public hearing on the town's proposed Steep Slopes law at 7 p.m. Aug. 16.
• The board approved the Road Preservation Use and Repair Agreement. This agreement has been sent to all municipalities in Yates County for their consideration. The intent of the agreement is to address problems expected if drilling in Marcellus Shale is done within the county.
• The effect of metal wheels on town roads was discussed. Harris said new wheels with rubber belting being used now are probably better than earlier types. Highway Superintendent Phil Strong said he plans to speak to some of the people who do horseshoeing to see if a different type of horseshoe is being used.
• The possibility of establishing a town e-mail policy committee was discussed. Town Clerk Pat Christensen said one of the biggest issues is that e-mails create a record, becoming part of the town's records management. Council members Leslie Church and Arne Sorensen will serve on a committee to study the matter.
• The board voted to purchase a new accounting software system from Williamsville-based KVA for $19,975, payable over three years. Christensen said now budget preparation and accounting are on two separate systems. The town's auditor recommended the system selected. It will require extensive time to set up, but will make management of town finances smoother. The system will be ready by Jan. 1, 2011.
The next meeting of the Milo Town board will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 16 in the town office on Main Street in Penn Yan.


Question: What is an investor?
An investor is a person or legal entity such as a company, who invests funds in a business to enable it to start and/or expand, with the expectation of future financial gains. A Shareholder's Agreement generally formalises the relationship between an investor and the business it is investing in if the investor is being issued with shares. If the investor is lending money to the business then the parties will enter into a loan agreement.


Baby Bathwater Island is an invitation-only all-inclusive entrepreneur conference featuring experts in a number of fields and disciplines. The conference is held on a private island in Croatia, and combines high-level business content with relaxed networking and recreation. Baby Bathwater Island attendees are screened via interview to ensure a positive environment and fruitful interaction.
Baby Bathwater Island is an all-inclusive 5-day retreat. The cost for a single attendee is $10,000.00, or $18,000.00 if you'd like to bring your partner. Transportation to the island from Split International Airport is included, but attendees are responsible for air travel to Split, Croatia.
Why is Baby Bathwater Island so exclusive?
$10,000.00 is not a small amount of money to pay for a business conference (even if it is all-inclusive), so the Baby Bathwater Institute carefully vets attendees to ensure that they've not only got plenty to contribute, but that their personality suits the group as a whole. There will be no hard-sellers or recruiters, just interesting, thoughtful, successful people ready to share.
What is the agenda for Baby Bathwater Island 2019?
There is currently no published agenda. There are no organized keynotes or speaker sessions, as Baby Bathwater Island is more of an informal gathering during which business topics are discussed.
There will, however, be an app available to those invited that will provide a schedule of workshops and other planned events. A loose list of potential topics includes "how to mine customer insight for higher-converting copywriting, "what firms NOT to hire and why," "how to finance your next expansion," and "the exact tactics 8- or 9-figure store owners are using to grow their customer base."
How do I know if I'm Baby Bathwater Island material?
The Baby Bathwater Island site shares some commonalities among invited guests: 65% are owners of 7- to 9-figure B2C businesses; 25% are studio owners and freelance digital marketers, copywriters, brand experts, and the like; 5% are "influencers and up-and-comers" in the entrepreneurial world; and 5% are investors and mentors.
Baby Bathwater emphasizes, though, that in addition to fitting one of those categories potential attendees must be "smart, kind, humble, ambitious, and open to learning and trying new things."
Is Baby Bathwater Island worth it?
It seems to be. Attendees claim to have earned many times the $10,000.00 cost in ROI directly related to what they learned on Baby Bathwater Island. Hosting a curated group of successful and creative entrepreneurs in a relaxed setting seems to allow ideas to flourish and be fully hashed out, whether they're at first blush realistic or not.

'We're just looking for them to fix this,' father of 10-year-old on no-fly list says
Nick Dixon Weekend Anchor and Videojournalist, CTV News Toronto
@NewsguyNick Contact
Published Saturday, December 14, 2019 6:18PM EST Last Updated Saturday, December 14, 2019 7:11PM EST
TORONTO -- A 10-year-old boy was flagged at Pearson Airport on Saturday as he and his father were checking in for their flight to Montreal—and his family says the occurrence is not out of the ordinary.
Adam Ahmed and his father were on their way to watch their favourite hockey team play at the Bell Centre, when Adam's name came up as Designated High Profile.
It's not the first time the child has been flagged by airport security.
Four years ago, the same pair was heading to Boston to watch the Canadiens play the Bruins in the NHL's Winter Classic when Adam's name was flagged. He was six years old at the time.
In the years since that incident, Sulemaan Ahmed has worked with Public Safety Canada to adjust the "no-fly list" and identify and remove the people who don't belong on it, like his son Adam.
"We're not looking for attention, we're not looking for money," Sulemaan told CTV News Toronto via Facetime. "We're just looking for them to fix this. And, you know, it's been four years now."
In June, the federal government passed a national security bill that proposed changes to the Passenger Protection Program, giving the Ministry of Public Safety the ability to make certain amendments to the list. But the changes aren't expected to take effect until 2020.
After Sulemaan posted about his son's predicament on social media Saturday morning, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness has reached out to apologize.
Sorry to hear of the recent difficulties experienced by you and your son. My office has been in touch and I look forward to talking with you about the work to prevent this for you and other families.
— Bill Blair (@BillBlair) December 14, 2019
Bill Blair also said he looked forward to talking with him to prevent something like this from affecting other families with members on the "no-fly list."
Sulemaan said that while the apology is encouraging, he's still worried about how long it's taking for the list to be tackled by someone in Ottawa.
"This isn't just about Adam, there are other kids out there, once they turn 18 they become adults, and then they're being flagged as security threats. And it's not only in Canada."
"This data is getting sent to other nations. So imagine you're in a foreign nation that doesn't share our rights or our values, he could get thrown in prison."
Sulemaan also said that is remains concerned about the fact that a Transport Canada employee who sent a racist email in 2008 was never been disciplined.
The email, which was released by an anonymous employee to Amnesty International, rewrites Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" to "Strangers on my Flight." Amnesty International circulated the email one year ago, expecting something to be done.
"The greater concern for me is... if we build the system, who is managing it, and who is running it?" Sulemaan said.
Blair's office said in a statement that the email, which was circulated more than 10 years ago, were "racist and unacceptable." Questions about the investigation should be directed to Transport Canada, his office said.
CTV News asked Transport Canada for a comment, but didn't get a reply before our deadline.

A free-space communication transceiver includes a telescope for transmitting and receiving laser beams, a tunable laser transmitter for generating a transmit laser beam modulated with data, a tunable optical receiver for processing a receive laser beam received from the telescope to recover data, and a tunable beamsplitter that directs the transmit laser beam to the telescope and directs the receive laser beam from the telescope to the optical receiver. Between the telescope and beamsplitter, the transmit and receive laser beams travel along a common optical axis as collinear collimated free-space beams. The transmit and receive laser beams operate at different wavelengths that can be interchanged, thereby support full-duplex operation. The beamsplitter employs a tunable etalon filter whose wavelength-dependent transmission characteristics are adjusted according to the transmit and receive wavelengths. Optionally, RF signals can additionally be couple to the common optical axis and transmitted and received by the telescope.

The Walk Review
Jeremy Lebens	 September 29, 2015 Leave a comment
Directing8
Acting7
Overall7.3
Robert Zemeckis' The Walk is a dazzling production that demands to be seen in IMAX 3D thanks to its larger-than-life visuals and spectacular camerawork, but the film's actual story, based on high-wire artist Philippe Petit's incredible achievement, fails to draw the attention that Petit respectfully deserves.
Robert Zemeckis' The Walk is going to remind everyone just how important IMAX 3D can be when presenting a film. Zemeckis has strategically created his latest film around the gigantic format in a way that shows technical craft and attention to detail, almost as flawlessly as high-wire artist Philippe Petit's daring walk between the World Trade Center buildings.
Zemeckis use to be an exceptionally gifted filmmaker that gave us films like Cast Away, Back to the Future and Forrest Gump. Not too long ago he got sidetracked in the world of CGI and animation, eventually returning in full-force with Flight, starring Denzel Washington.
The Walk lies somewhere in between Flight and Zemeckis' work in animation (Beowulf, A Christmas Carol) as he puts the tech and craftsmanship on display, while the film's story serves as the second act of the show.
It's not that the real-life story that the film is based on isn't interesting enough to hold your attention, but it's the fact that Zemeckis is clearly more interested in making the film feel larger-than-life and fully immersive without ever feeling like a tired gimmick.
The Walk has some of the best use of IMAX 3D that I've ever seen, with complete sequences launching my heartbeat through the roof as I squinted my eyes while Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Philippe Petit almost carelessly looks over the edge of one of the Twin Towers without clenching a muscle.
Zemeckis never lets up on that gut-wrenching feeling and The Walk is so much more engaging because of how he approaches height and the fear of it in the film, while occasionally contrasting that with Petit's life-long dreams that soar beyond the sky and into the heavens.
Philippe Petit is truly an amazing man that's accomplished some mighty acts of courage, yet Zemeckis only bothers with showing us his never-say-no attitude and determination through Joseph Gordon-Levitt's questionable French accent and an array of sometimes-useful supporting cast members.
Ben Kingsley falls flat as one of the film's key inspirations or at least major factors in Petit performing his crazy act, yet Kingsley does nothing but crack a few jokes.
Zemeckis forces out most of the backstory in exchange for Petit and his crew setting up the performance and then Petit walking across the wire while the entire world watches down below…or maybe just part of New York City, but it definitely feels like the world.
JGL is an incredible actor and has definitely gotten better over the years, but I spent the whole time thinking that he was the wrong choice, with his weird-looking contacts and overly French accent proving to be more of a distraction than anything.
In Looper he managed to blend in well and both look and sound like a younger Bruce Willis, while in The Walk he looks and sounds like a poorly-done Saturday Night Live skit with a dash of goofy and a huge helping of selfish.
He lands most of the silly and fun Petit, but struggles with the more serious stuff. I don't exactly blame JGL here, because he gives it his all and then some, but perhaps he was the wrong choice from the get-go and no one bothered to tell Zemeckis.
The last twenty minutes of The Walk are a real treat to enjoy. Watching Petit finally accomplish his life-long dream is rewarding and visually stunning. Zemeckis perfectly executes the finale in a way that feels complete and looks downright spectacular, but the feeling does go away.
The Walk is a film that demands to be seen on an IMAX screen in 3D. It truly is an experience of its own that cannot be replicated on a smaller screen or in 2D, which is part of the reason why the film struggles — Zemeckis never captures anything on an emotional level and instead goes for the visuals. The Walk is a beautiful-looking film, but it doesn't have much of anything else to offer, aside from maybe an excuse to hear JGL pronounce everyday words in a funny French accent.

Cal Codina o la Drogueria Roca és un edifici modernista de Reus (Baix Camp) inclòs a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya situat al carrer de Monterols, núm. 30. L'arquitecte Pere Caselles la va construir el 1905.

Descripció
És un senzill edifici d'habitatges entre mitgeres, que consta de planta baixa i quatre pisos, amb dues obertures per planta. L'interès de l'edifici el trobem en la decoració de la façana, que combina pintura i esgrafiats, i no tant en la seva concepció arquitectònica. A cada una de les plantes, des de terra fins a la línia d'imposta, hi veiem una decoració esgrafiada amb reproducció de formes florals que, en estar retallades sobre un fons vermellós, semblen escampar-se per la superfície. L'esgrafiat, que acaba amb un perfil irregular, encaixa a nivell d'imposta amb la pintura mural que reprodueix estilitzades formes vegetals amb valor lineal de coup de fouet. Les mènsules de pedra que sostenen els balcons tenen flors i fulles decorades, en paral·lelisme amb els dibuixos de l'esgrafiat. A les plantes primera i segona els balcons són correguts. A la tercera i la quarta hi ha dos balcons. Cal destacar també al cornisa superior de la façana.

Història
L'edifici el va fer construir el 1905 Ernest Codina Roig, propietari d'un negoci majorista d'importació i fabricació de puntes de Brussel·les, brodats suïssos i altres manufactures tèxtils, amb magatzems que donaven al carrer de Galió i una fàbrica a la ciutat suïssa de Sant Gall. La forma de les decoracions de la façana, que semblen penjar de cadascun dels pisos, podria estar inspirada en les blondes i punter de coixí que Ernest Codina comercialitzava des d'aquesta casa.

El divendres 27 d'abril de 2018 es va ensorrar la part interior de l'edifici, començant pel terrat i emportant-se tots els forjats de l'interior. De moment, la façana ha quedat intacta.

What Are the Keys to a Successful Database Strategy?
There are so many different databases available for applications and verticals. Make sure you have the right database for optimal performance.
Sep. 05, 17 · Database Zone · Interview
To gather insights on the state of databases today, and their future, we spoke to 27 executives at 23 companies who are involved in the creation and maintenance of databases.
We asked these executives, "What are the keys to a successful database strategy?" Here's what they told us:
Right Tools
Specific projects need specific resources. The ability to bring different data feed together. Entity resolutions and differentiation. A database that can scale. Security is a core tenant for all government projects — row- and cell-level security. We're targeting mission-critical databases.
Know what business problem you are attempting to solve with the database since there are many different databases with specific applications. Provide data protection back-up and recovery for non-relational databases.
Figure out the requirements with application and services on top of the database. Fit for purpose. Choose the right database tool for the right job. Many companies have several different types of databases technologies for particular use cases with a focus on speed, cost effectiveness, and scalability. Security decisions for the open-source database world are pushed back in the network to allow for network protection. Availability is key. Must be operating 24/7 serving customers around the world.
Know what the database is going to be used for. There are a plethora of tools and technologies. Use MS SQL Server for transactional relational databases. Use NoSQL for analytics, business intelligence, and big data. Depends on the use case and the problem to solve.
Speed, scale, and security are table-stakes. Now the emphasis is on building the customer powerful applications that provide a rich CX with real-time, intelligent augmentation driven by AI/ML. Be event driven. Design monolithic apps into microservices coupled through API interaction. Determine the right database solution needed to solve the problem. The "people" aspect is fundamentally different. No more classic DBA, storage admin, dev, and ops roles. Now there's a more cohesive data ops team for communication and collaboration between data science, DBAs, data engineers, developers, and operations.
Ensure we're a good fit for the product and the company. Do you have the right partnership? Once we're sure of the fit, we have a customer success checklist which reviews what the software can and cannot do, best uses, and potential hurdles. Cut off surprises up front. Simulate the system under strain in production as early as possible. Fault-tolerant distributed databases simulate types of failure in production. The more you can trial the workload you expect to run in preproduction, the better off you are. Work with the customer to determine how the product differs from others they have used — the patterns they are used to may not translate.
What are the different classes of technologies and how do they fit in your enterprise? Operating systems with apps as a touchpoint used by employees, customers, partners, and machines. Decisioning products used by humans on the IT side making judgments about how the data will be used. Batch to real-time since data scientists have a longer Q&A period. Connectedness as a dimension — document database on the left, relational databases in the middle, and graph databases on the right with or without real-time connections.
We believe in interoperability, portability, performance, and security. Interoperability because the number of customers for the data will become more diverse over time. This has given rise to microservices and APIs. Portability is important because there are a ton of legacy systems from which databases must be extricated. Performance and security are self-explanatory.
Like many database concerns, the need for speed comes down to the application at hand. For instance, speed is paramount if you are responding directly to user queries, but might not be your most pressing need for long-running asynchronous analytics jobs. Do your best to understand the scaling properties of a solution before you commit to using it! Remember that most databases (and distributed configurations thereof) have differing read and write scaling and that you can use this to great advantage if you choose the right tool for the job. Also, remember the third (often hidden) scaling dimension of databases — developer and operations overhead. SQL systems offer rich and battle-tested security models, provided you use them correctly. On the other hand, many newer database paradigms don't consider security and permissions to be a database concern, beyond the capability to encrypt data in transit and at rest. Be aware of this difference: The right tool for your job may require you to give more thought to security at the application and operational level.
Availability is number one for 24/7 business operations. The database and the data must always be available. Plan for maintenance, as there is little tolerance for downtime. Second is scalability to meet the business needs with the new data sources, types of data, and volume of data. The third is data security and fourth is performance.
Our customers care deeply about speed (initial data loading speed, real-time data update speed, and also query speed) pertaining to a large-scale dataset. Security of the database system itself is of less concern to most of our customers, mainly due to the fact they typically only expose applications/REST endpoints running on top of our graph database for production systems. In some use cases, customers use our graph engine to mine the connections in the data to make their business/systems more secure, but this is not related to database security itself.
Performance is user experience, so there's no more important measure of your most critical databases. At the same time, performance is cost. And the cost can get away from you quickly — particularly in the cloud. It's important that you can monitor both performance and underlying infrastructure side by side so that you can keep the ideal balance of both. Scalability is certainly behind a lot of the adoption of NoSQL and NewSQL platforms, but even with those architectures, it's important to have a real-time understanding capacity and how much more your database can take. Security — human error and database drift can open security gaps with regards to configuration. Database monitoring systems that can notify users of incorrect security settings, missed scheduled backups, and more help to ensure the success of your database and the protection of your data.
Standardize your data and databases as much as possible. Integrate databases into the DevOps process and do not allow databases to remain in a silo. Automate as much as possible. Product architecture plays a big part in how easy or hard it is to manage the database. Don't use integers; they don't work with clusters and services. Use GUIDs. Make your schemas additive. Databases do not like to delete data. Don't consider MySQL to be an enterprise ready production database.
When you are updating an app the schema or logic must change and that's a manual process. You need to align the cadence and enforce safety, as well. Don't break stuff. Recovery of a bad database push is expensive with backup and restore. We remove the need for recovery by catching problems in development and testing. Be able to scale for the team. We're currently using a manual process updating the database but it's unable to keep up with accelerated processes and rates of change — an exponential nightmare.
While speed, scale, and security are important, increasing speed to delivery is most important. Database automation accelerates the development cycle.
Identify the location of all of the sensitive assets across all repositories. Protect those assets. Open access to the data with sensitive assets protected. Enable employees, partners, and customers to make data-driven decisions.
Speed, scale, and security are all table-stakes. Understand what's needed from a data management perspective. How does the application architect fit with the database architecture stack to deal with more tech systems running on how to manage availability?
Understand use cases and requirements models and configure the data to meet the requirements. Have a strategy for modernizing legacy infrastructure to the cloud, virtual machines to containers, and proprietary to open source while meeting requirements. Keep up with changes so you know what database architecture to use.
What are the company's data needs? What are the applications for acting on data — gaining insights from operational data to enhance business transactions? Have a tiered data management strategy. Identify the long-term data that's needed for compliance, reporting, and transactions. Have an active store memory. RAM should be a first-class citizen. Insights have a limited lifespan depending on the business and how they are using the data and there are more and different types of insights available with IoT, AI, and ML. You need to be able to keep as much data in memory as possible. Deploy in embedded mode (library) where the data grid is in the same JVM as the application. The application logic has instance access to the data resulting in virtually zero latency. The client-server mode will be cloud-based. This is great for keeping gaming and shopping cart data in memory with a scalable data architecture. Our customers use data grid on the cloud as a data state management store. Be able to recycle application nodes which for resilience.
Mission-critical applications already have performance, scale, and security. Key capabilities are interoperability, embedded analytics, and the ability to add concurrent users without impacting current workloads. Look at the database and the data platform as a single stack.
Regulatory compliance environment: PCI, HIPAA, and SOX can't be formulated at the last minute. Complex process that requires planning. Speed, scale, and security are table stakes. Performance, scale, high availability, and disaster recovery are all needed to understand mean time expectations and test. Have a strategy around disaster recovery. Netflix uses chaos monkey. Know what is failover. Align database strategy with development strategy or release cadence of third-party apps. The code can be blown away and replaced but data must persist. Ensure expertise and planning of approval cadence. Ensure better availability of the development and testing system.
Continually evolve the underlying technology to address technology and business challenges with a minimum of disruption. Now with the move to the cloud enabling data management to take advantage of the latest technology.
The days of the standalone database strategy are long gone. Over the last few years, the speed of change and transformation, as well as the pervasive application and use of IT and data in all organizations, has been game-changing. That transformation's impact on strategy has been profound. For example, it is increasingly challenging to plan long-term investments. Instead, businesses demand agility and constant cost optimization, both of which fuel cloud adoption, the convergence and simplification of data architectures, and more. With all this in mind, these are some guiding principles to consider with database management and strategy:
Simplicity: Think about this when adopting, consuming, and deploying a database from both technical and non-technical standpoints.
Convergence and simplification of data architectures: This is the ability to handle heterogeneous workloads with one database — on one copy of the data. (Example: HTAP TX and analytical workloads converged; or the ability to handle multiple data types, like JSON, XML, graph next to structured types in one repository.)
Integration: This is the ability to integrate across multiple instances of the same database or a heterogeneous set of repositories to abstract the user and application from the underlying data architecture and virtualize access. (Example: Fluid Query and query federation built-into our offerings.) Write once, run anywhere — this is about building flexibility in deployment (on-premises, on IaaS, or get as a managed service) without changing your SQL code and having a consistent experience and working behavior when interacting with the database.
What are the key elements to a successful database strategy from your perspective?

HL Tau 76
Not to be confused with HL Tauri.
HL Tau 76 is a variable white dwarf star of the DAV (or ZZ Ceti) type. It was observed by G. Haro and W. J. Luyten in 1961,[8][9] and was the first variable white dwarf discovered when, in 1968, Arlo U. Landolt found that it varied in brightness with a period of approximately 749.5 seconds, or 12.5 minutes.[9] Like other DAV white dwarfs, its variability arises from non-radial gravity wave pulsations within itself.[10], § 7. Later observation and analysis has found HL Tau 76 to pulsate in over 40 independent vibrational modes, with periods between 380 seconds and 1390 seconds.[11]

The designation HL Tau 76 derives from the discovery of this star as a white dwarf, when it was described as Taurus no.76 in a publication authored by Guillermo Haro and Willem Jacob Luyten.[8] The exact designation HL Tau 76 was then used in subsequent papers, including one giving the star its designation EGGR 265 where it was noted to be variable.[12] It was then included in the 57th name-list of variable stars and given the variable star designation V441 Tauri.[13] The unusual designation HL Tau 76 continues to be used by most authors.[14]

Rationale, design and conduct of a comprehensive evaluation of a school-based peer-led anti-smoking intervention in the UK: the ASSIST cluster randomised trial
FA Starkey, LAR Moore, R Campbell, MP Sidaway, M Bloor
Research output: Non-textual form › Web publication/site
Background To date, no school-based intervention has been proven to be effective in preventing adolescent smoking, despite continuing concern about smoking levels amongst young people in the United Kingdom. Although formal teacher-led smoking prevention interventions are considered unlikely to be effective, peer-led approaches to reducing smoking have been proposed as potentially valuable. Methods/design ASSIST (A Stop Smoking in Schools Trial) is a comprehensive, large-scale evaluation to rigorously test whether peer supporters in Year 8 (age 11–12) can be recruited and trained to effect a reduction in smoking uptake among their fellow students. The evaluation is employing a cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) design with secondary school as the unit of randomisation, and is being undertaken in 59 schools in South East Wales and the West of England. Embedded within the trial are an economic evaluation of the intervention costs, a process evaluation to provide detailed information on how the intervention was delivered and received, and an analysis of social networks to consider whether such a peer group intervention could work amongst schoolchildren in this age group. Schools were randomised to either continue with normal smoking education (n = 29 schools, 5562 students), or to do so and additionally receive the ASSIST intervention (n = 30 schools, 5481 students). No schools withdrew once the trial had started, and the intervention was successfully implemented in all 30 schools, with excellent participation rates from the peer supporters. The primary outcome is regular (weekly) smoking, validated by salivary cotinine, and this outcome has been obtained for 94.4%, 91.0% and 95.6% of eligible students at baseline, immediate post-intervention, and one-year follow-up respectively. Discussion Comprehensive evaluations of complex public health interventions of this scale and nature are rare in the United Kingdom. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of conducting cluster RCTs of complex public health interventions in schools, and how the rigour of such designs can be maximised both by thorough implementation of the protocol and by broadening the scope of questions addressed in the trial by including additional evaluative components.

Huaqiangbei () es un área y subdistrito de Futian, Shenzhen, provincia de Guangdong, China.  El área es un importante centro de fabricación de productos electrónicos que con sus mercados de productos electrónicos en expansión le han dado apodos como "Silicon Valley de China" y "Silicon Valley del Hardware".

Ubicación

El subdistrito se extiende durante 1 kilómetro (0,62 mi) al norte desde Shennan Road en SEG Plaza, cerca de la estación de Huaqiang Road del metro de Shenzhen, hasta el Pavilion Hotel. Es en la columna vertebral de un distrito comercial, con calles transversales como Zhenzhong Road (振 中路), Zhenhua Road (振华路) y Zhenxing Road (振兴 路). Huafa Road (华发 路) está inmediatamente paralela al este con Yannan Road (燕 南路) más lejos. El área central del distrito se encuentra a lo largo de Huaqiang Road (华强 路), una concurrida calle peatonal que da nombre al distrito.

El área se caracteriza por calles arboladas con senderos anchos (5 a 20 metros (16 a 66 pies)). Huaqiangbei es famosa por su variedad de tiendas de electrónica y ropa, aunque tiene una historia notoria de venta de productos falsificados y de contrabando.

Hay tres estaciones del Metro de Shenzhen en el área:

Estación Huaqiang Road en Línea 1
Estación Huaqiang Norte en Línea 2 y en Línea 7
Estación Huaxin en Línea 3 y en Línea 7
