"Solid Spectroscopy Hosting Architecture of Databases and Expertise"
SSHADE is an interoperable database infrastructure of Solid Spectroscopy (https://www.sshade.eu/) providing data obtained by various spectroscopic techniques over the whole electromagnetic spectrum from Gamma to radio wavelengths, through X, UV, Vis, IR, and mm ranges. The measured solids are either synthetized in the laboratory or are natural terrestrial analogs or extraterrestrial cosmo-materials.
SSHADE contains a set of specialized databases from various European research groups and is developed under the European program Europlanet 2020-RI (H2020) with the help of OSUG, CNRS/INSU, IPAG and CNES. It is hosted by the OSUG data center / Université Grenoble Alpes, France.
The SSHADE consortium has currently 23 partner teams (77 participants) in 21 laboratories from 9 different European countries (FR, GB, IT, DE, ES, HU, PL, CH, AT) plus India and Taiwan.
It will be extended in 2020-2022 by about 10 additional partner teams (FI, GR, IT, BR, CN, FR, …) if our Europlanet-2024 RI program proposal is accepted.

"If You Need Help, Here is What I Can Offer" by John Gower
If you need help here is what I can offer. He thought he remembered her faintly saying just before reaching out to hold his hand as they walked; just before, her songs took over his head. But he didn't mind that they took over his head, she offered a jaunty tune and he liked the way it made the clouds come alive as they walked.
He had been telling her about another woman, a woman he couldn't get out of his head, a woman whose songs were once lively and funny and smart but years later had turned harsh and scolding. Though she had left him some time ago her demeaning melodies stayed with him. He felt cello like sounds much of the time when he was alone. He missed the songs he had heard when they met. He listened for them when he went out. He wanted them back.
It didn't bother him that this new woman knew just what to do. He had hoped she might. She looked like she might. They held hands as they walked and between the squeezing of her hand and the flickering light through the trees her jaunty tune was slowly embedding in his step. It soothed him. He forgot himself. Colors began to shout out and clouds began to whistle.
They came to a secluded clearing. The grass was dry and warm and soft. As they lay side by side kissing she took off her clothes, but wouldn't, let him take off his. They kissed, one breath, together, over and over again until they were dizzy. The sun had never felt so good. Could it be that the birds were tweeting just for them?
The next morning her song was still with him. When he looked at his face to shave he saw her eyes in his. When he walked she was in his step. Her hips were everywhere he turned. There was no where more important to go that morning, but, to her.
She was still in pajamas when he arrived at her door for breakfast. Her eye-lids were purple-pink, her iris green and brown. Her pupils were large, so large. Within minutes, they were naked in her bed. The cello was gone and the trill of a lively clarinet teased his ears.
Many days passed by. Her songs remained lively, funny and smart. She needed him, but for how long, he thought. He knew it was wrong but he wanted to be sure her songs would not change. He wanted to nail her spirit to a tree. The more he liked her songs the sadder he became. What was her plan he wondered. Would she become mean and leave him, too? The more he tried to hold things still the more her songs began to change. They became stilted with after-thought, with pause for what they might mean. He knew he was causing this but he couldn't stop. Within a month she had stopped singing and wondered why she was with him at all.
He asked her to his house for dinner and when the conversation had become vacant and still, he brought out a hammer and nails that he wanted to show her. He was ashamed of himself and told her what he had been feeling. She looked surprised and sad and shied away from him. Though it was not a cold evening he lit a fire. Once it had peaked he asked her to place the hammer and nails in the fire. As they burned, he stood looking deep into the fire and with only the crackling of the fire to interrupt the silence, he began to sing, at first in a mumbling sort of way, as though he were speaking in tongues. He rarely sang out loud and didn't really know how. He sang about the time they met, he sang about the heartache he once felt and the heartache he was beginning to feel again. His song brought tears to her eyes as she understood what had happened between them and why her songs had stopped. She stood close as he sang so she might make out the quiet words. When he sang of his love for her his voice became more secure and clear. She slid off her dress to the floor to inspire him as his voice became louder and louder. At her urging he stood on the chair, and then on the table, the song carried out of him without pause, without reflection; he was perfect in his frailty, perfect in his faults. He could do no wrong, he sang of what he knew to be true.
The next morning as she left for work she held him close and whispered, If you need help, here is what I can offer, and placed his hand on her bosom, kissed him on the cheek and left.
How could he possibly know which of the many songs will remain true?

Bill Berry's retirement from NASA ARC
Status Report From: Ames Research Center
Posted: Tuesday, April 16, 2002
TO: Resident Staff
FROM: Henry McDonald, Director
SUBJECT: Retirement of William E. Berry
The Center Deputy Director, William E. "Bill" Berry has announced that he will retire from federal service on May 3, 2002.
Mr. Berry began his federal career as a co-op student with NASA at the Johnson Space Center in 1962-64. After graduation from the DDrexel Institute of Technology, he returned to NASA at the Ames Research Center in 1966 and served in many key technical and management roles including Chief of the Advanced Life Support Division and of the Life Science Flight Project Office. He acted as Director of the Space Research Directorate for 2 years and was the Associate Center Director for Institutional Management before being named as Center Deputy Director in 1997. He has also served at NASA Headquarters in 1993-94 as the Deputy Director of the Life & Biomedical Sciences and Applications Division. He is a 1986 graduate of Stanford University's prestigious Sloan Program.
Some of Mr. Berry's important contributions to the Center have been made in the Bio-Satellite, Mars Viking, and Pioneer Venus projects. He led the Center's development of its on-going life science flight experiments activities on Shuttle, Mir, and the International Space Station. Most recently, he has been the leader in the beginnings of the transformation of the Ames Moffett complex into the NASA Research Park, a world-renowned research and development complex through partnerships with industry, academic and other government agencies.
Mr. Berry received the Presidential Rank of Meritorious Executive in 1996, the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal in 1998 and the Presidential Rank of Distinguished Executive in 2001.
Throughout his career, Bill has been an exceptional individual and a dedicated civil servant. His contributions to the Center have been both many and outstanding. In recent years, he has been a highly valued member of the Center's senior management team and a prime mover in the NASA Research Park. He will be greatly missed, but we wish him continued success in all his endeavors as he retires from the Agency.
Details regarding a farewell event are still being prepared. They will be announced as soon as they are available.
Until a permanent appointment is made, Nancy Bingham, Associate Director for Systems Management & Planning, will serve as Acting Deputy Director when Mr. Berry retires.

Hi Could someone point out for me where I can source 2nd hand servers (rack mountable, hopefully) in Auckland?
The cabinet I have to install into is standard 19" width but about 600mm deep. 1U or 2U preferably. It's going to be a BSD router so doesn't have to be particularly fast, but will be web caching so does need one gigabyte or better of memory and some HDD. If anyone has something like that or can point me to shops/suppliers up here for that I'll be grateful.
I'm in Wgtn but do have a 1U HP one I'm keen to get rid of.
Dual 1200 (from memory) with 1GB RAM and 2x40GB (again off the top of my head) SCSI drives + CDROM. Also has dual LAN on board.
If you're interested then PM me and I'll get the exact specs. If anybody else is interested and wants to put in an offer then feel free to do so. I've had it sitting around for ages now and should really get rid of it!

CHICO — A fire at an apartment complex on the north side of town destroyed two units and left two others with smoke damage Sunday.
The fire was reportedly started by a burning candle at 10 Coral Circle, near Cohasset Road, around 8:20 a.m. and spread into the above apartment's attic, said Chico Fire Department Capt. Frank Garrison.
Firefighters contained the blaze at the four-plex apartment complex in about 30 minutes.
All occupants escaped uninjured. One firefighter received second-degree burns on his ears and was sent home to recover.
Damage probably reached $500,000 on the complex, estimated to be worth about $1 million. The residents in the downstairs unit, where the fire originated, "lost pretty much everything they own," Garrison said.
A cat was found unconscious in one of the upstairs unit, but was given oxygen and taken to an emergency clinic for further treatment.


TFR Construction is a solid competitor in the Central Ohio construction industry.

People needed our services in more areas than just concrete, and we began to expand our products and service offerings. TFR formed alliances and partnerships with several local home developers and commercial property management companies, while also building a trusting relationship with departments at the City of Columbus including the Housing Division and Recreation and Parks.

I recently began working with an amazing charity, Women In Need (WIN). They help provide shelter for homeless families in NYC. Believe it or not, over 100,000 people in NYC will have experienced homelessness this year. In college I did some philanthropic work through my sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, and always found it to be rewarding, but was never able to contribute too much time to it due to the demands of my workload. Since I began freelancing, one of my goals was to get involved with a New York based charity and when I was introduced to the ladies at WIN, I knew it was the right one.
I paid a visit to one of their six shelters to experience for myself what the living situation was like for these families once WIN came into their lives. To my surprise, they were all set up like college dorms, each family having their own apartment. I always thought shelters were big open rooms with a ton of beds in cold, unfriendly atmospheres, but this one was inviting. It also provided counseling for the guests and child care. I was truly touched.
Currently, homelessness in NYC is at the highest number ever recorded, so the charity is hosting an auction on CharityBuzz.com that starts today and will run through November 30th to help raise money. Here's where it gets fun... they partnered with A-listers, designers, sports stars, hip hop artists and Broadway performers. Each one designed and signed a paper mache house that you can bid on.
Some of the celebs include: Diddy, Halle Berry, Oscar de la Renta, Debra Messing, Mary J. Blige, Sean Avery, Justin Timberlake, Diane Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Bobbi Brown, Ludacris, Vera Wang, Isaac Mizrahi, the Beckhams and the cast of the musical "Hair"
I got a sneak peak at all of the houses the other night and my favorite is Diddys! Surprise, surprise. It has a helicopter on the top of it. I can see it on his number one fans wish list. Diane Von Furstenbergs is very... well, very DVF of course lined with patterns and Bobbi Brown made her all out of colored cosmetics, very chic looking.
You can check out all of the houses and bid on your favorite one here. To learn more about the charity visit their website and follow me on Twitter @Jeannine_WIN for live auction updates.

THE BORGHESE MUSEUM
The Palazzina Borghese was built at the beginning of the 17th century in an area covered by vineyards and gardens just beyond the Aurelian Walls, at the behest of Pope Paul V and his nephew, Cardinal Scipione Borghese.In the beginning the Palazzina was a museum, for it housed Scipione's important archaeological collection.
Scipione's favorite artist was Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who's first works were created for this palace. Most of the painting collection was created in Scipione Borghese's day according to his taste, which is considered to have been particularly eclectic and closely bound to that of "the most hedonistic circles of the 17th roman society" (Francis Haskell). It is thanks to him that the works of such important artist as Caravaggio, Raphael and Domenichino, became part of the collection.
THE DORIA PAMPHILI GALLERY
The Doria Pamphilj Gallery is a private collection open to the public (every day from 10.00 to 17.00, except Thursday).
The rich collection of paintings includes a great number of seventeenth-century masterpieces (Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, Guido Reni, Guercino, Velasquez, Claude Lorrain, Gaspard Dughet) and important Renaissance works (Tiziano, Raffaello, Garofalo, Lorenzo Lotto).
The collection includes also important bust portraits carried out by Algardi and Bernini and some ancient sculptures, dating from the archaic and the Hellenistic periods.
Coming mostly from the Villa Pamphilj gardens.
THE CAPITOLINE MUSEUM
The Capitoline Museum is the home of one of the world's oldest collections of art and antiquities.
Initiated in 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV, when he donated some ancient sculptures discovered during the transformation of Rome as the center of the Catholic world. I This first collection was further enrich with donations of other popes: Pius V ( 16th century) Clemente XIII Benedict XIV and Pius VII (18th century).The collection occupies the palaces designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century on the Capitoline Hill, called Capitolium fulgens by the Romans during the ancient period.
Among the most remarkable sculptures (Dying gaul, Capitoline Venus) can be mentioned the Hall of Emperors with the portraits of all the Roman Emperors, and Emperor Marcus Aurelius original equestrian statue.
ROMAN NATIONAL MUSEUM
The Roman National Museum (Palazzo Massimo alle Terme), was created in 1981 inside the XIX century Massimo's family palace, to extend the Ancient art exposition located in the contiguous Roman National Museum of Diocletian Baths.
It was open to the public in 1995, and it is the best didactic museum of Ancient Art of Rome. Its four floors offer artistic works from the Republican period (II-I century B.C) up to late Empire (IV century A.D). Is one of the only roman museums to host Greek original sculptures of the V century B.C and II century B.C. as well as original frescoes of ancient Rome, found in Augustus's daughter house and Livia's Villa.

By JOHN GATHUA, NYERI, Kenya Sep 22 – The owner and handler of six dogs that mauled a minor to death in Nyeri have been charged before a Nyeri court.
Anthony Gathara and John Njuguna Muriithi were charged with recklessness and negligence in handling the dogs on September 21, 2017 at Ring Road Estate in Nyeri Town.
The two failed to take action by keeping the dogs in an enclosed place as required by law, resulting in the death of Wilson Ngatia Karungaru as indicated in the charge sheet.
Appearing before Chief Magistrate Wendy Kagendo, the two denied the charges and pleaded to be released on bond.
Through their lawyer Njuguna Kimani, they told the court that they will honour the terms and attend all proceedings without fail since they are local residents.
The lawyer also urged the court to order the prosecution serve him with copies of the charge sheet and witness statements before hearing of the case which is scheduled to start on September 28 this year.
Each of the accused persons was released by the court on a surety bond of Sh200,000 or a cash bail of Sh100,000.
The prosecutor Wesley Nyamache agreed on their release adding that investigations in the case were ongoing.
He said police were yet to get the post-mortem report which is part of the evidence.
Gachagua's two-year-old grandson died after he was attacked by the neighbour's dogs which made their way into their homstead.
His grandmother tried to help him and the family rushed the little boy to hospital but he died while undergoing treatment.

Carpet Terms
AATCC 134: (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorist), Electrostatic propensity of carpets test methodology measures the floors tendency to generate a charge. Simply stated, it measures the amount of static generated by a Neolyte shoe sole stepping on a carpet surface in a controlled room environment at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and 20% R.H.
ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999: Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment (Excluding Electrically Initiated Explosive Devices covers the requirements necessary to design, establish, implement, and maintain an ESD control program to protect electrical or electronic parts, assemblies and equipment susceptible to ESD damage from Human Body Model (HBM) discharges greater than or equal to 100 volts.
Antistatic Bi-component: a type of yarn commonly found in most commercial and household carpets. The term bi-component refers to the co-extrusion of two materials within the same yarn strand. The internal cross-section of the yarn contains carbon while the surrounding fibers are composed of standard insulative nylon. The bi-component yarn provides an overall reduction in static generation—not a path to ground. Because the outer nylon insulates the internal conductive element, bi-component yarns do not discharge or conduct static electricity. Bi-component yarns cannot be grounded and are not suitable for static control in areas where computers are used.
Antistatic Carpet: The term antistatic refers to a condition where static generation is inhibited during contact and separation with a different material. In general, antistatic carpet is any carpet product that will generate less static electricity than standard carpet. Antistatic carpet is not conductive and it is not possible to ground anti-static carpet. Antistatic carpet usually contains bi-component yarns. The reason for specifying antistatic carpet is to establish a space that will be free of static shocks, or zaps. Most new antistatic carpet will prevent shocks as long as the relative humidity (RH) is above 25%. Anti static carpet should NOT be confused with conductive or ESD carpet. Antistatic is not a permanent property.
Anti Static Flooring: The term antistatic refers to a condition where static generation is inhibited during contact and separation with a different material. Anti static flooring can either be static dissipative or static conductive. (See also, Dissipative Tile)
Auxilliary Ground: A separate supplemental grounding conductor for use other than general equipment grounding.
Barrier Strip: A device or apparatus that consists of a metal strip and connectors or screws that allow termination and connection of wires or conductors from various components of an electrostatic discharge protected workstation.
Body Contacting Mechanism (BCM): The part of the foot grounder that makes electrical contact with the body.
Building Related Illness (BRI): Term used when symptoms of diagnosable illness are identified and can be attributed directly to airborne building contaminants. A 1984 World Health Organization Committee report suggested that up to 30 percent of new and remodeled buildings worldwide may be the subject of excessive complaints related to indoor air quality (IAQ). Often this condition is temporary, but some buildings have long-term problems. Frequently, problems result when a building is operated or maintained in a manner that is inconsistent with its original design or prescribed operating procedures. Sometimes indoor air problems are a result of poor building design or occupant activities. In contrast to SICK Building Syndrome.
Charged Devide Model: simulates static discharge from a static sensitive device to a conductor.
Class 0 for Manufacturing: Please note - The term Class 0 has not been defined for manufacturing applications by any industry standard. Recent surveys have shown that manufacturing failure rates escalate exponentially for devices with ESD withstand voltages below 200 volts for either HBM (human body model) or CDM (charged device model). MM is intentionally omitted from this definition since it is largely redundant to HBM. It is also vitally important for the manufacturing process to have a well defined trigger for risk assessments of ultra-sensitive components. These risk assessments involve verification of manufacturing process capability as well as for any risks that may be passed on to customers. A working definition for a Class 0 devices is any component that fails below 200 volts for either HBM or CDM.
Common Point Ground: (1) A grounded device where two or more conductors are bonded. (2) A system or method for connecting two or more grounding conductors to the same electrical potential.
Compliance Verification (Periodic Testing) Equipment: An instrument or collection of instruments that provide an indication or measurement. It may or may not be repeatable or accurate. This equipment is typically used for indications of pass or fail.
Computer Grade Carpet: Computer grade carpet is the predecessor to conductive carpet. Computer grade carpet was designed during the infancy of the information age and contains a high density of bi-component yarns. Like all anti-static carpet, it cannot be grounded. The antistatic properties of computer grade carpet are usually described by obsolete standards, such as the IBM/Burroughs standard which grades the carpet by its kV rating (see low kV). A carpet specified for usage around computers should be rated by both kV rating and resistance to ground (measured in OHMS).
Conductive: refers to the ability of a material to conduct a charge to ground and is usually indicated by an electrical resistance range measured in ohms of a minimum of 2.5 x 104, (25,000 ohms), to a maximum of 1.0 x 106, (1 million ohms)
Conductive Fibers: Fibers capable of conducting electricity to ground. Most conductive fibers contain carbon, graphite or stainless steel. Conductive carpets used by the computer industry are carbon-coated on the exterior of the fiber. External conductivity allows for static charges to make contact with the fiber's conductive element and then safely discharge to a ground source, such as electrical conduit. Carbon fibers are inverted bi-component fibers. Conductivity is a permanent property.
Conductive Flooring: The term conductive floor is often confused with the term static dissipative. Conductive floors are classified based upon their electrical resistance to ground. Electrical resistance is measured in ohms of resistance. The resistance to ground of a conductive floor is usually defined as < 1.0 X 106 ohms measured per ANSI/ESD 7.1 Conductive flooring meets all three recommended electrical parameters of ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014. A type of flooring intended to prevent, mitigate, dissipate, conduct, remove or ground excessive static electricity charges on people, furniture, mobile carts and equipment. Static conductive flooring should not be used near or under energized equipment. Conductive flooring should not be considered as a superior resistance range versus static dissipative range. Always consult industry standards as well as local building and safety codes before installing conductive flooring. Depending on the application, ground fault interuptors may be required in spaces equipped with conductive flooring. Conductive flooring should never be installed in dispatch areas, call centers or flight control rooms.
Conductive Flooring Material: A floor material that has a resistance to ground of less than 1.0 x 106 ohms.
Conductive Material: A material that has a surface resistivity less than 1 x 105 ohms/square or a volume resistivity less than 1 x 104 ohm-cm.
Conductive Tile: A floor tile material used for the mitigation of electrostatic discharge (ESD) composed of carpet, synthetic rubber or vinyl composition. Meeting the same electrical parameters described as "conductive flooring." Conductive tiles are usually combined with conductive adhesive and grounded to either earth ground or electrical ground.
Conductor: A material with low electrical resistance, (a conductor), that will safely attract an electrical charge to ground. Examples of conductors are water, copper, aluminum and carbon. Practical examples of conductors are a lightning rod and a copper wire.
Conductivity: (1) The ratio of the current per unit area (current density) to the electric field in a material. Conductivity is expressed in units of siemens/meter. (2) In non-technical usage, the ability to conduct current.
Current Limiting Resistance: A resistance value incorporated in series with the wrist strap's electrical path to ground. This resistance limits electrical current that could pass through the ground cord in the event of inadvertent user contact with electrical potential.
DOP or DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate [bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate): As defined by mindfully.org: "DOP or DEHP is the compound plasticizer Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate...[and] is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals (NTP 217,1982;IARC V.29,1982;IARC S.7,1987).When administered in the diet, di(2- ethylhexyl)phthalate increased the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas in female rats, liver neoplastic nodules or hepatocellular carcinomas in male rats, and hepatocllular carcinomas in mice of both sexes."
Decay Time: The time required for an electrostatic potential to be reduced to a given percentage (usually 10%) of its initial value. (See Static Decay Test.)
Dense Networked Office: Area within a building that uses LAN based networks in 8' x 8' furniture cubicles, or less.
Dielectric: An insulating material that can sustain an electric field with little current flow.
Dielectric Strength: The maximum electric field that a dielectric can sustain.
Discharge Time: The time necessary for a voltage (due to an electrostatic charge) to decay from an initial value to some arbitrarily chosen final value.
Dissipative Floor Material: Floor material that has a resistance to ground between 1.0 x 106 and 1.0 x 109 ohms.
Dissipative Tile: A floor tile material used for the mitigation of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Usually composed of carpet, synthetic rubber or vinyl composition.It is important to differentiate between the terms SDT and static dissipative. By definition, a static dissipative floor tile inherently meets the electrical properties of "static dissipative flooring" without the use of antistatic waxes, finishes and glazes. A static dissipative tile is not necessarily antistatic and should be carefully evaluated in applications where special controlled footwear will not be used. Static dissipative vinyl is a static generator in combination with people and standard footwear. Static dissipative rubber inhibits the generation of static in combination with people wearing standard footwear.
Electrical Resistance: The measure of a material's ability to conduct a charge to ground.
Electrification Time: The time for the resistance measuring instrument to stabilize at the value of the upper resistance range verification fixture.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): The rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced by a high electrostatic field. Note: Usually, the charge flows through a spark between two bodies at different electrostatic potentials as they approach one another. Details of such processes, such as the rate of the charge transfer, are described in specific electrostatic discharge models.
Electrostatic Discharge Ground: The point, electrodes, bus bar, metal strips, or other system of conductors that form a path from a statically charged person or object to ground.
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity (ESDS): The ESD level that causes component failure. (Note: See also electrostatic discharge susceptibility.)
EMI: (Electromagnetic Interference) - the transmission of a rogue electrical signal, caused by ESD, and received by a computer or electrical device and has the potential to cause disruption and downtime. An example of EMI is the static interference you may hear over an automobile radio, caused by lightning, when you drive in the vicinity of an electrical storm.
EOS/ESD Association: (based in Rome, NY) - Four thousand members representing the largest trade association for the ESD issues. The association assists in writing and setting industry standards and test methodologies and publishing the latest research and technology on ESD.
ESD: The abbreviation for electrostatic discharge. In layman's terms: an electrical event that takes place when two conductors with different electrical potential make contact. ESD events occur when people walk across various forms of flooring and then they touch or approach computers and sensitive electronic devices. ESD should not be identified with shocks or zaps. Although shocks and zaps are ESD events, they are the result of at least three thousand five hundred (3500) volt discharges. An ESD event as low as 20 volts can disrupt electronic components. Because of this extremely low voltage, the event can go completely undetected.
ESD Carpet Tile: Used to control the accumulation of electrostatic discharge on people, chairs and tables. A modular floor tile comprised of conductive carpet and a conductive thermoplastic backing. Usually manufactured using conductive fibers woven into the carpet face. A floor tile designed to provide an electrical path to ground for the dissipation of unwanted static electricity charges in applications where electronics are stored, manufactured, used or handled. An ESD grade flooring material will remain conductive at any relative humidity level. Not to be confused with computer grade or low Kv carpet materials.
ESD Event: (A static discharge or spark) ESD events range across a broad spectrum from microscopic discharges far below the threshold of human sensitivity to violent static shocks like the ones you may feel when you touch a metal door handle on a dry day. ESD events can cause damage to sensitive devices.
ESD Floors: This is a catch-all term for any type of floorcovering with antistatic or conductive properties. This description is usually used during the investigation phase of static control flooring materials. Referring to a conductive or antistatic flooring material as an ESD floor is not a sufficient reference for defining certifiable electrical properties. The proper way to specify a flooring material used in sensitive electronic environment requires stating the resistance to ground which is measured in ohms.
ESD protective: A property of materials capable of one or more of the following: preventing the generation of static electricity, dissipating electrostatic charges over its surface or volume, or providing shielding from ESD or electrostatic fields.
ESD sensitivity: See electrostatic discharge sensitivity and electrostatic discharge susceptibility.
ESD S 7.1: The ESD Association Standard 7.1 - "Resistance Characteristics of Materials." A generally accepted test method used to determine conductivity of flooring and other material surfaces.
ESD Withstand Voltage: The maximum level that does not cause component failure.
ESDS: Electrostatic Discharge Susceptible. (See Electrostatic Discharge Susceptible and Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity.)
Evaluation Testing: Stringent testing of a wrist strap to determine its electrical and mechanical performance abilities. Data are in the form of values from laboratory testing.
Excessively Porous Subfloor: Any subfloor surface that has an extremely rough surface, such as concrete that has recently been shot-blasted (blastracked), any subflooring that has leftover residue of old latex adhesive, recently skimcoated, rough wood subflooring, etc. Such subfloor conditions can create bonding issues and lead to the necessity of using sealers or a greater amount of adhesive to properly adhere floorcoverings.
Failure Threshold: The supply current value that when exceeded, is considered to have failed the device is called the failure Threshold Current.
Floor Contacting Surface (FCS): That part of the foot grounder that makes electrical contact to the grounding surface.
Flooring/Foot Grounder System Resistance: The total resistance of the foot grounder, when worn by the person, while standing on a static control floor.
Foot Grounder: Personnel grounding device worn on the shoe.
Foot Grounder System Resistance: The measure of the total resistance of the foot grounder when worn by the person standing on a stainless steel plate.
Ground: In electrical terms, ground is the safe point of discharge of unwanted static electricity. Ground represents "zero electrical potential." When something is grounded, it's neutral; it has no charge. Attaching a conductive floor to ground ensures that the static charges will be diverted to the earth through the conductive floor system. Typical grounds include: electrical conduit, building steel, copper bus bars and steel rods buried in the earth.
Grounded Floor: Any floor with electrically conductive properties that is attached to either electrical or earth ground. Grounding of conductive or dissipative floors is usually achieved by physically attaching the ESD flooring solution (conductive or dissipative epoxy coating, conductive or dissipative carpeting or carpet tiles, conductive or dissipative vinyl tiles or sheet goods, conductive or dissipative rubber tiles or sheet goods) to a certified ground connection using copper strips or grounding wires. The most common methods of grounding involve the combination of conductive adhesive for securing the floor and copper strips attaching the adhesive with the electrical ground connection in a building.
Ground Lead: The portion of the wrist strap, which provides flexibility of movement while completing the electrical circuit between the cuff at one end and a ground system at the other.
Ground Strap: (1) A conductor intended to provide an electrical path to ground. (2) An item used by personnel with a specified resistance, intended to provide a path to ground. Groundable point A designated connection location or assembly used on an electrostatic discharge protective material or device that is intended to accommodate electrical connection from the device to an appropriate electrical ground.
Groundable Point ESD Protective Floor Material: A point on the floor material that is intended to accommodate an electrical connection from the floor material to an appropriate electrical ground.
Grounding Resistance: The total resistance from any given point in an electrically conductive path to the grounding electrode.
Hard Ground: A connection to ground through a wire or other conductor that has very little or nearly no resistance (impedance) to ground.
HBM ESD Tester: The human body model electrostatic discharge tester.
Human Body Model: An electrostatic discharge circuit that meets the set model values by conforming to waveform criteria specified ESD-S5.1, characterizing the discharge from the fingertip of a typical human being.
Human Body Model ESD: An ESD event meeting the waveform criteria specified in this standard, approximating the discharge form the fingertip of a typical human being.
Human Body Model Electrostatic Discharge: An electrostatic discharge event meeting the waveform criteria specified in ESD S5.1, approximating the discharge from the fingertip of a typical human being.
Human Body Model Electrostatic Discharge Tester: Equipment that applies Human Body Model electrostatic discharges to a component.
Human Sensitivity: The threshold of human sensitivity to ESD is 3.5 kV.
Impedance: The total opposition (i.e., resistance or reactance) a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current. It is measured in ohms and the lower the ohmic value, the better the quality of the conductor.
A term used to describe the quality of the air breathed by occupants of an indoor or enclosed environment.
Installed Cost: The actual cost for materials and labor that also includes floor preparation, shutdown or loss of use of space, removal of old flooring and any procedures such as initial required cleaning, vapor test or vapor barrier applications.
Insulative: The property of "insulation" refers to a material's ability to store as opposed to conduct. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor. A good example of an insulator is a stone hearth. Although the hearth stores heat from a hot fire, it can be touched without danger because the heat is retained by the hearth and not transferred to the skin (as opposed to touching the metal grille on the same fireplace). In the case of carpet construction, all fibers are insulators unless a conductive coating is applied to the external perimeter of the fibers. Insulated fibers will both generate and store static electricity. They cannot be grounded, even if a copper wire is attached to them.
Insulative Material: A material having a surface resistivity of at least 1 x 1012 ohms/square or 1 x 1011 ohm- cm volume resistivity.
Insulator: A material with high electrical resistance, (an insulator), will not conduct a charge to ground. Examples of insulators are plastic, rubber, vinyl, and wood. A practical example of an insulator is the rubber or vinyl casings around common electrical wires.

International Gray Scale for Color Change
A standard comparison to rate degrees of color change from 5 (no change) to 1 (severe change).
International Gray Scale for Staining
A standard comparison to rate degrees of staining from 5 (no stain) to 1 (severe stain).
ISO (The International Organization for Standardization)
A non-governmental, worldwide organization whose work results in international agreements that are published as International Standards.
J-cut
Uneven cutting of the loops in cut-pile carpets caused by poor adjustment of the knives and hooks or excessive yarn tension.
A device used to bulk yarns by introducing curls, coils and loops that are formed by action of a high velocity stream usually air or steam.
A natural fiber, native to India, which can be shredded and spun into yarn. Jute yarns are used for backing in woven carpets, or itself woven into sheets and used as secondary backing on tufted carpet. In many applications, jute is being replaced by fiberglass, polypropylene or other synthetic fibers.
A fabrication process comprised of interlacing yarns in a series of connected loops with needles, like weaving. Carpet produced by knitting is generally categorized as woven carpet. In carpet knitting, pile and backing are produced at the same time using multiple sets of needles in one operation.
Kraftcord
A tightly twisted yarn made from plant fiber, used as a backing yarn.
A trade name of a manufacturer of continuous dyeing machines which apply dye to tufted carpet. (See "Continuous dyeing.")
kV: A measurement of electrical voltage. The measurement stands for kilovolts or thousand of volts. Currently, the floor covering industry measures the static propensity of products by using a kV measurement.
Laboratory Evaluation Equipment: An instrument or collection of instruments that meet the criteria of a standard or standard test method that provides a measurement that is accurate and repeatable. This equipment is typically used to qualify materials, devices or procedures prior to acceptance and under controlled conditions.
LAN: An acronym for Local Area Network.
Latent Failure: A malfunction that occurs following a period of normal operation. Note: The failure may be attributable to an earlier electrostatic discharge event. The concept of latent failure is controversial and not totally accepted by all in the technical community.
Low kV: Low kV is a synonym for antistatic carpet. Low kV carpet will not generate as much static electricity as standard carpet. Low kV carpet reduces the shock hazards associated with walking on standard carpet. The typical human threshold for feeling a static zap is 3.5 kV or three thousand five hundred (3500) volts. Most low kV carpet will inhibit static sufficiently so the people do not feel painful shocks. Low kV carpet cannot be grounded and will not reduce static electricity when the humidity is low or after extended carpet wear.
Mission Critical: Literally, any operation that cannot tolerate intervention, compromise or shutdown during the performance of its critical function. Mission critical environments usually support health, safety, security and human welfare. These environments also monitor, store, support and communicate data that cannot be lost or corrupted without compromising their core function. Since all computer and communications systems are highly sensitive to static electricity, static events pose an internal threat to mission-critical operations, such as flight control towers, energy management operations, 911 centers, command centers, dispatch, control rooms, data storage centers, hospitals, stock exchanges, laboratories, university research facilities, computer rooms—any space where the loss or corruption of data cannot be tolerated. Conductive flooring is a mandatory element in mission critical environments, because it prevents and discharges static electricity before it becomes a problem.
NFPA 99: (National Fire Prevention Agency section 99), the NFPA-99 provides a test methodology for measuring the conductivity of flooring and other surfaces. This test was originally designed in the 1960's for use in hospital operating rooms that used explosive gases for anesthesia. Operating room surfaces were required to be conductive so that static fields would be safely discharged to ground instead of dangerously discharged as a spark that could ignite an explosion
One Hundred Megohms: "One Hundred Meg" equals one hundred million ohms or 1.0 x 108. The exponent, 8, refers to eight zeros after the 1. Staticworx® recommends this electrical resistance measurement as the maximum acceptable level for an ESD carpet specification.
(Note: Many ESD flooring manufacturers will recommend electrical resistance measurements as high as 1.0 x 109, (1 Billion ohms or "One Thousand Meg"). However, Staticworx® feels that the gap between 100 million ohms to a 1 billion ohms is too large, (900 million ohms), of a jump in electrical resistance. If the material's electrical resistance happens to deteriorate over time, beginning at 1.0 x 109, it may not provide adequate ESD protection over a long period of time.)
One Megohm: "One Meg" equals 1 million ohms or 1.0 x 106. The exponent, 6, refers to the number of zeros after the 1. This measure is generally considered the maximum electrical resistance level for a conductive flooring specification.
25,00 Ohms: This is represented by the scientific notation 2.5 x 104, or 2.5 x 10,000 ohms. This is the lowest end of the conductivity range. Anything lower than this range is considered an electrical shock hazard.
Path to Ground: The electrical link between a conductive material and the earth. Electrical conduit is an example of path to ground; the neutral or "green wire" is attached to the conduit and discharges electricity safely to the earth through the metal housing and the pipes, encapsulating the "hot wires." A carpet must contain conductive fibers with external conductivity in order to be attached to a path to ground. Conductive carpet finds a path to ground from the combination of 1) conductive fibers; 2) conductive backing; 3) conductive adhesive; 4) copper grounding strip attached to conduit or building steel. A breach or omission in any of these four mechanisms will result in an open circuit and no path to ground.
Personnel Grounding Device: An electrostatic discharge protective device designed to ground any electrostatic charge accumulated on a person.
Point-To-Point Resistance: The resistance in ohms measured between two electrodes placed on any surface.
Resilient flooring: A type of flooring which designed to be durable, resistant to stains and water, and comfortable to stand and work on. There are a several static control options within the resilient flooring category, at a range of price points. The most common types of resilient flooring are made with vinyl, nitrile rubber and recycled rubber. These materials are all known for being extremely durable while providing some level of cushioning versus hard concrete. Rubber is especially good for this, providing an exceptional ergonomic walking surface. Another common trait of resilient flooring is resistance to stains, which includes chemicals, dirt, and liquids. Some static control resilient floors can be treated with an upper layer of static free wax to make them even more stain resistant and easier to clean. Resilient flooring resists penetration by water, making it less likely than textile based flooring to become a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Resilient flooring withstands heavy foot traffic. The materials used to make resilient flooring resist scuffing and damage from rolling furniture, dollies, or pallet jacks which are dragged across the floor. Rubber flooring is also slip resistant, making it an ideal solution for wet applications in manufacturing facilities.
Resistance Range: User-specified upper and lower resistance values which define the user-acceptable resistance values of a wrist strap or wrist strap system.
Resistance To Ground: The resistance in ohms measured between a single electrode placed on a surface and ground.
Resistance To Groundable Point: The resistance in ohms measured between a single electrode placed on a surface and a groundable point.
Rtg: This is the abbreviation of resistance to ground.
Rtt: This is the abbreviation of resistance across the surface at two points.
SICK Building Syndrome "sick building syndrome" (SBS): Describes situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. The complaints may be localized in a particular room or zone, or may be widespread throughout the building. In contrast, to the term "building related illness" (BRI).
Static Control Floor: A permanently installed floor material such as tile, carpet, polymer, epoxy, or sheet flooring that controls static charges on personnel, equipment, or other objects contacting the floor material.
Static Control Flooring: A generic term used to describe any form of flooring that is designed to reduce static electricity on people. Static control flooring is available in numerous forms including: carpeting, carpet tiles, vinyl tile, rubber tile and epoxy coatings. A more specific description should be used when specifying this type of flooring. A meaningful flooring specification should always include electrical resistance in Ohms and triboelectric performance measured in volts.
Static Control Floor Finish: A non-permanent coating periodically applied to existing floor surfaces that dissipates static charges by grounding personnel, equipment, or other objects contacting the floor finish or that controls the generation and accumulation of static charges associated with floor materials.
Static Control Floor Mat: A movable island of material placed over existing flooring that dissipates static charges by grounding personnel, equipment, or other objects contacting the floor material or that controls the generation and accumulation of static charges associated with the material.
Static Control Floor Material: A permanently installed floor material such as tile, carpet, polymer, epoxy or sheet flooring that dissipates static charges by grounding personnel, equipment, or other objects contacting the floor material or that controls the generation and accumulation of static charges associated with floor materials.
Staticworks: A flooring manufactured by Staticworx® .
Static Dissipative flooring: Static dissipative floors are defined by a property called electrical resistance. Electrical resistance is measured in ohms. The important parameter for describing a floor is the static control flooring resistance to ground or path to ground. In order to meet the qualification of static dissipative, a floor must have an electrical resistance to ground of ≥ 1 X 106 (one million ohms) AND < 1 X 109. Static dissipative should never be confused with the terms Conductive or Antistatic (sometimes hyphenated as anti-static). Note: The old definition of static dissipative was; A material that can conduct an electrical charge and has an inherent resistivity range between 1 x 104 ohms and 1 x 1011 ohms Sometimes referred to as electrically dissipative. This old definition does not apply to flooring.
Static Control Footwear (shoes): Covering for the human foot that have properties to control the accumulation of static charge when used in conjunction with a static control floor or floor finish, or floor mat.
Static Control Seating: Chairs used in conjunction with a static control floor or static control floor mat that are intended to control the generation, accumulation and dissipation of electrostatic charge associated with the seating.
Static Decay Test: A procedure in which an item is first charged to a specified voltage, then allowed to dissipate to a specified voltage while measuring the duration of the discharge.
Static Electricity: Literally "electricity at rest." Static electricity is the stored energy that becomes dangerous when it becomes an ESD event. Static electricity is the result of the exchange of electrons that occurs during friction between objects. This friction causes the ESD event, which can disrupt production, cause fires, damage computers and sensitive electronic components, cause computers and other electronic equipment to malfunction and lose important data.
Static-Resistant Resilient Flooring:A durable, stain resistant floor-covering with ergonomic features and antistatic (anti-static) properties. Any resilient flooring material such as rubber, polypropylene or vinyl that will not generate excessive quantities of static electricity. Describing a flooring material as static resistant (or anti static), does not mean that the material can also ground or discharge or dissipate static electricity. A static resistant material could inhibit static generation on people but lack the conductive properties necessary for grounding of static charges. The ideal static control material should be both conductive and antistatic. A term found in Division 9 - Finishes 09650.6 Static-resistant resilient flooring.
Staticworx® Helix Fiber: This is a unique conductive monofilament spun within the yarn bundle. It is used to achieve conductive contact points on the surface of the carpet.
[Also Staticworx® Helix Fibre]
Surface Resistance: The ratio of DC voltage to the current flowing between two electrodes of specified configuration that contact the same side of a material. This measurement is expressed in ohms.
Surface Resistivity: For electric current flowing across a surface, the ratio of DC voltage drop per unit length to the surface current per unit width. In effect, the surface resistivity is the resistance between two opposite sides of a square and is independent of the size of the square or its dimensional units. Surface resistivity is expressed in ohms/square.
Topical Antistat: An antistat that is applied to the surface of a material for the purpose of making the surface static dissipative or to reduce triboelectric charging.
Total Cost of Ownership: The real cost for a product, encompassing materials, installation, maintenance, anticipated repairs and necessary monitoring. For example, a floor requiring periodic buffing and conductive wax applications also requires testing and monitoring after each maintenance interval, to ensure electrical compliance. When maintenance prohibits the use of space, this cost should also be factored in. Monitoring and other hidden costs are often overlooked or ignored in the initial cost analysis.
Triboelectric Charging: The generation of electrostatic charges when two materials make contact or are rubbed together, then separated. Also known as tribocharging. (See also Triboelectric series)
Triboelectric Series: A list of materials arranged so that one can become positively charged when separated from one farther down the list, or negatively charged when separated from one farther up the list. Note: The series' main utility is to indicate likely resultant charge polarities after triboelectric generation. However, this series is derived from specially prepared and cleaned materials tested in very controlled conditions. In everyday circumstances, materials reasonably close to one another in the series can produce charge polarities opposite to that expected. This series is only a guide.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Gases emitted from certain solids or liquids, including a variety of chemicals, which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations are consistently higher indoors than outdoors: often up to ten times higher.
Voltage Suppression: Voltage suppression is a serious deficiency of many static dissipative table covering materials. For example, ESD laminate is incapable of discharging small parts that have become charged. The voltage suppression test determines whether a work surface such as ESD laminate containing a buried conductive layer actually bleeds off the charge from an object placed on the surface or only suppresses the electrostatic field from the charged object. If the surface bleeds off the charge, the voltage on the object when lifted from the surface will be zero. If the surface only suppresses the charge, the voltage remains on the object when it is lifted from the surface.


In Fjellgaten, a town near the sea in southern Norway, we find this house. Its owner, Mona Tobiassen Ersdal, tells us that it's nearly 200 years old. While she herself acknowledges that the windows "need a coat of paint", the home is worthy of admiration thanks to its careful interior design work.
The renovation was a real challenge, as the objective of Mona and her team was to achieve "something extra, something that didn't look like the neighbours' houses". They clearly succeeded, getting away from the typical Nordic style by adding pieces with character and using different materials and colours.
The bath is a clear example of what has become the strong point of the house: contrast. During the renovation, the owner mixed the different shades of white found on the bathtub, tiles and floor, as well as on the furniture and Quadro rectangular porcelain washbasins by Bathco. The cement on the floors and walls contrasts with the brass fixtures, the mirrors and the supporting structure for the bathtub.


There is no shortage of wellness messages telling you what you need to do to be well and no doubt in many instances these are well intentioned. However, like me, you live in a world where to-do lists are long and where often the overriding feeling is that you are short on the time needed to get them done. Receiving another to-do list can feel, well, like another to-do list — basically a little overwhelming. The risk is you might simply tune out because it's all about what you need to do rather than how you can find a way of incorporating it into your busy life. I would like to introduce you a different concept, one that likely calls for a shift in your thinking. One that asks you to move away from focusing entirely on what you should do and to refocus on what's driving your wellness choices. It's called intuitive wellness.
The conventional approach to wellness focuses on giving you a list of wellness activities connected to the goals you wish to achieve. It often leans towards being prescriptive. It is generally premised on a formula which, if you follow it, will allow you to achieve your wellness goals. Intuitive wellness is different. It asks you to focus initially on raising your understanding as to the why of your choices. Its aim is to connect your choices with the feeling and thinking driving your choices, to have you understand what is influencing your wellness decisions and choices because, once you understand these, you are in a more informed position to understand what to change.
Let's use the example of unhealthy eating and specifically the use of a food diary. An intuitive wellness food diary will ask you to record what you eat and when you eat; however, it will also ask you to record how you feel and what you're thinking when you eat. For example, are you bored, angry, frustrated, stressed, hungry? Is eating a way of rewarding yourself or is it simply because those around you are eating and you don't want to appear different? There could be many reasons. Do you understand why you eat when you eat? Research into the use of food diaries indicates you can be eating as much as 40 per cent more than you think you are eating. A food diary based on the principles of intuitive eating can increase your understanding of what you eat, how you feel, what you think or, more simply, why you eat.
Now, let's take working long hours as an example. Record when you arrive and leave work, what you do at work and importantly, what you were feeling and thinking when you made work decisions. Additionally, you may discover a range of emotions and thoughts. Maybe you are feeling bored, irritated, frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed, motivated or inspired. It will help you gain clarity about the why of your decisions — not only the feelings you are experiencing but also the associated thinking. It's my experience in coaching and mentoring that, unless you understand and then choose to redress issues in the why driving your behaviour, it will be difficult to change your behaviour and, importantly, sustain changes you want to make.
Intuitive wellness is asking you to make a shift in your thinking. Intuitive wellness encourages you to understand how you are feeling and what you are thinking when you make decisions and, in turn, to understand if these are working for your performance and your workplace wellness. I believe doing the same thing but expecting a different result is not a sign of madness, as the familiar expression states; rather, it's a missed opportunity — a missed opportunity to do things differently, to give you a chance to achieve and sustain a different outcome. If you haven't been able to achieve and sustain the performance workplace wellness you wanted in the past year, I encourage you to make a shift in your thinking and adopt intuitive wellness.

Imam Ibnul Qayyim al Jawziyyah
Abu 'Abdillah, Shamsuddin Muhammad, son of Abu Bakr, son of Ayyub, son of Sa`d, son of Hurayz, of Damascus. He is best known as Ibn ul-Qayyim (Son of the Custodian), named so after al-Jawziyyah school in Damascus which was under custody of his father. His family was one of honor and knowledge.
He was born on Safar 7, 691 AH (1292 CE), in the village of Zar', to the south-east of Damascus.
He moved to Damascus and learned the Islamic knowledge under a number of prominent scholars. His most notable teacher was Ahmad bin 'Abdil Halim Ibn Taymiyyah. He valued him most and he stayed with him continuously in his years of youth: from 712 AH (1312 CE) until Ibn Taymiyyah's death in 728 AH (1328 CE). He loved him dearly, he comprehended his thought, and he worked on clarifying and spreading his knowledge after his death.
Ibn ul Qayyim wrote more than sixty books in various areas of Islam. Some of these are:
1- Tahthib Sunan Abi Dawud (Emendation of Sunan Abu Dawud);
2- Al-Kalam al-Tayyib wa-al-'Amal al-Salih (The Essence of Good Words and Deeds);
3- Commentaries on the book of Shaikh Abdullah al-Ansari: Manazil-u Sa'ireen (Stations of the Seekers), which is considered the epitome of knowledge of tasawwuf books; and, Zad al-Ma'ad (Provisions of the Hereafter), from which this book on the medicine of the Prophet is extracted, besides other manuscripts copied with his own handwriting, and which are preserved in the Central Library in Damascus, Syria.
He compiled a large number of studies besides his own books, including:
1. Tahth Sunan Abi Dud (Emendation of Sunan Abu Dud);
2. Kitab Aqd Muhkam Al-Ahbaa banal Al-Kala'l-Tayyib wal 'Amal al-S?h (The Essence of Good Words and Deeds);
3. Madaarij Saalikeen which is a Commentary on the book of Shaikh Abdullal-Ans, Manazil-u Sa'ireen (Stations of the Seekers);
4. Zad Al-Ma'ad (Provisions of the Hereafter), from which the famous book Natural Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet is extracted.
5. Tafsir Mu'awwadhatain (Tafsir of Surah Falaq and Nas);
6. Fawa'id
7. Ad-Da wa Dawa
8. Ar-Rooh
9. Al-Waabil Sayyib minal kalim tayyib
10. Haadi Arwah ila biladil Afrah
11. Uddatu Sabirin wa Dhakhiratu Shakirin
12. Ighadatu lahfan fi masayid shaytan
13. Rawdhatul Muhibbeen
Ibn ul Qayyim had numerous students. Some of the more reputable among them are the following:
Al Hafidh Abul Faraj ibn Rajab
Al Hafidh Ismail ibn Kathir
Al Hafidh Muhammad bin Abdul Hadi
He died on the evening of Thursday, Rajab 23, 751 AH (1350 CE). People prayed on him (the Janazah prayer) on the following day in the Great Masjid in Damascus. He was buried in al-Bab us-Saghir cemetary.
He was highly praised by the Scholars after him, such as al-Hafidh Ibn Rajab, al-Hafidh adh-Dhahabi, ibn Nasir ad-Dimashqi, Al Hafidh ibn Hajar and many others.

MP Elections
Bhopal News
Madhya Pradesh assembly election 2018: Voting-Day: From EVM glitches to long queues
This story is from November 29, 2018
TNN | Updated: Nov 29, 2018, 12:06 IST
A long queue of voters outside a polling booth in Bhopal on Wednesday
BHOPAL: Unlike previous elections, EVM-related glitches impacted polling in walled city. In relatively comfortable polling booths like Cambridge School at Idgah Hills, the first vote was cast at 9.15 am.
Similar situation was repeated across Bhopal North constituency where incumbent Congress candidate Arif Aqueel is pitted against newcomer BJP candidate Fatima Siddique. Overall around 2.5 lakh voters are registered in North Bhopal. The poll percentage in one of most densely-populated assembly constituencies in the state, was 65.87%.
Political observers say Aqueel, who is contesting for fifth win, faces no challenge from the ruling BJP. Interestingly, indications ahead of polling were Sindhi panchayat around Idgah Hills favoured Congress candidate. BJP supporters, on the other hand, claim they have added about 5,000 votes by way of new voters living in poor housing complex at Idgah Hills.
Overall, low voting percentage was marred by glitches in voting machines. The district administration said voters number swelled towards last hours at 20 booths of North Bhopal. At these booths, those who reached polling stations in the constituency before 5 pm waited for their turn to cast their vote .
BHOPAL CENTRAL
Victor always by a narrow margin here
Bhopal Central constituency could well indicate the mood of the electorate across the state. One of the many seats where the winner generally wins by a narrow margin, this constituency's two main candidates is a repeat of 2013 — BJP's incumbent MLA Surendra Nath Singh against Congress candidate Arif Masood. The constituency stretches from the walled city to new Bhopal including Arera Colony.
Around 4 lakh voters are registered here. In 2013, 61.79% voting percentage was reported. On Wednesday, 60.57% had cast their vote. Polling in 20 booths was underway at the time of filing this report.Glitches in EVM machines were reported here too. In Arera Colony and surrounding areas, polling picked up pace early. It was around noon when polling got affected due to snags in the EVMs.
In the walled city area and Jehangirabad, polling was relatively slow. It picked up pace later in the afternoon. However, at polling booth 180 needed interference of SDM Shailendra Dwivedi and a technical team from the election commission. The cable link of the EVMs with VVPAT was affected. An EC official maintained that voting time would not be extended. "Only those who enter the poll booths before 5pm would be permitted to vote," he said.
GOVINDPURA
Gaur bahu seems clear favourite here
Govindpura, where BJP's Krishna Gaur is pitted against Girish Sharma of the Congress, saw a lower voter turnout as compared to the 2013 assembly election.
In 2013, this assembly seat with 384 polling
stations saw a turnout of 61 per cent, which went down to 59.7 per cent this time.
Although the voting was by and large peaceful, some complaints of names missing from the voters' list surfaced. Forty-five-year-old Sooraj Kala was miffed when she reached booth no-195 at Vikram School and found her name was not on the list. "I am carrying my voting card. BLO at this booth is telling me that my name is not there in the voting list. This is not done," said Kala. Govindpura is a 100% urban constituency with a total of 3,46,799 voters. The Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) comprise 16.2 per cent and 3.92 per cent of the electorate respectively.
All quiet on this front
Polling in Narela constituency, which is witnessing a direct contest between BJP's Vishwas Sarang and Congress candidate Mahendra Singh Chouhan, passed off peacefully on Wednesday. Polling booths near 80 feet road in the constituency witnessed huge turnouts.
There were nine polling booths in Government Girls' Higher Secondary School in Bajaria area. It is the same constituency where police had to use force in the last assembly polls. There was confusion among voters at a few places, as there were number of booths at some polling centres and the voters were forced to move run from one polling centre to another.
Authorities claimed that voting in Narela was by and large peaceful this time and they did not receive any complaint. Maximum number of complaints in the voters' list was made to election commission from Narela constituency before polls. There were around 350 polling booths in the constituency.
Polling continues beyond the scheduled time
There was mixed voting in Huzur constituency with residents of Kolar area showing reluctance to vote, while residents of Bairagarh and Gandhi Nagar voting overwhelmingly. The constituency also comprises 184 villages, where voting was moderate to heavy — the exact percentage is yet not known.
At an election booth in Tejaswini School in Kolar, 1,800 of about 4,500 voters had cast their vote by 5pm though voting continued beyond scheduled timing. On the other hand, ward numbers 4 & 5 of Bairagarh township witnessed brisk voting right from the morning, with a voter turnout of 72% by 5pm. This, despite the fact that voting got delayed in at least two to three polling booths due to technical snag in EVMs. Incumbent BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma is locked in a direct fight with Naresh Gyanchandani of the Congress. Gyanchandani, a surprise selection by Congress, had little time left for electioneering but is said to be giving a tough fight to Sharma.
BERASIA
High turnout, who will reap the harvest
Unlike the five largely urban seats in Bhopal district, the rural seat of Berasia saw an exceptionally high voter turnout — at 76.62%. With people walking to polling booths on their own, Congress candidate Jaishree Harikaran, who was facing a shortage of workers, must have felt relieved. "Contesting elections for the first time, she didn't have too many workers by her side. Surendra Singh Thakur, who has considerable clout in the constituency, was contesting elections from Sehore and his workers left with him. Two other prominent leaders from the constituency — Jodharam Gurjar and Avneesh Bhargava tried to help her as much as possible but still she lacked the manpower to manage booths", said a Congress worker. There is triangular fight on the seat with incumbent BJP MLA Vishnu Khatri taking on the Congress rival and former BJP MLA from the seat Brahmanand Ratnakar also throwing his hat in the ring as an Independent candidate after he was denied ticket by the party.
BHOPAL SOUTH-WEST
Tough one for mantri
This assembly election is crucial for sitting MLA Umashankar Gupta in many ways. Congress candidate P C Sharma, who enjoys a pro-active leader image, spared no effort in voter outreach to upset poll calculation of the sitting legislator, who has retained the seat ever since the constituency came into existence in 2008 after the delimitation exercise.
Sharma, who staged a dharna after glitches in EVM, ended sit-in after assurance from election officials. Gupta had to face anger of shopkeepers on several occasions in past. From this seat, Sharma has got support from Sanjeev Saxena. Overall voting in the area with 100% urban population was peaceful. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes ratio is 18.12 and 4.58, respectively. As per 2018 voter list, there are 2,12,838 electorate and 284 polling booths in this constituency. Voter turnout in 2018 is 62.58%, against 64.52% in the 2013.
