Akhlaaq of the Ummati #4
Channel: Mirza Yawar Baig
Series: Mirza Yawar Baig - Akhlaaq of the Ummati
Tonight on our $100 Bill alameen wa salatu wa salam O Allah, MVA with mousseline, Muhammad Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to Steven Catherine cathedra, from abajo, my brother and sisters, we are on the lesson of a flock of the Almighty. And as I mentioned to you, I am taking
the guidance from Serato, who dropped in this series of lectures.
I remember our chef was out of the bucket, having a lot of us to say that
if there is one surah that
we must make fun of on every Muslim to memorize, that is sort of algebra,
because one of the luxuries has so many beautiful lessons and so many directions for people on how to live Islam, and hamdulillah. This is, I think, very, very good advice.
To read the surah, to study the surah, to memorize the surah and to constantly remind ourselves of what the collapse of the Illuminati should be.
That's why when I wrote this book, I call it a collapse of humanity. Because today, whether we like it or not, the fact is that you and I
are representatives of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And I'm saying whether you like it or not, because, you know, we like to be representatives in a in the good aspect of it, meaning the honor of it. But sometimes we forget the burden of responsibility that falls on the person who is the representative of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I won't say somebody like Mohammed Salim because there is nobody like Hamas or Salah.
Now I'm saying you live whether you like it or not, because this is how the world has chosen to define us.
Many times we complain and we hear these complaints, people say, Why do people see things in terms of Muslim terms? If somebody if a Muslim man or woman does something wrong? Why don't people just say that they did this or Fatima did this? Why must they say a Muslim did this.
But if you reflect and see the example from the Sierra and from the lives of the Sahaba, revoir, La La mcvane, the Sahaba attitude was the opposite. They would say como mithuna, they will say become like us. They saw themselves as representatives of Islam, and they live their lives, like representatives of Islam. And the people you want to know somebody says, teach me about Islam. They said, Look at me,
teach me the business principles of Islam. And if you ask this to a Xavi was a business, a businessman, business person, he would perhaps tell you come and sit in my shop, come and see my business. You want to know the principles of doing business in Islam, he won't send you to, you know, to an MBA college he would say, Come and look at my business, please go and study.
If the person says, teach me the rules of or teach me the Islamic principles of a marriage, he would say come and see, you know, what happens in my home? How must I bring up my children look at my children. Now this is the beauty of Islam, which is that Islam is the name of a practice.
Islam is not the name of a theory. Islam is not the name of a philosophy is now is not even the name of a theology by itself. It is the name of a practice. And like all practices, Islam benefits, the one who practices not only the one who knows about it. I give this example all the time because it's an easy example to understand if I became the world's most knowledgeable person, the world's greatest scholar, on judo. And if I wrote 20 books on Judo, and I know everything about Judo, right, its history where it started, who started it, what was the name of the person who started it his online age, who was his father was his grandfather, all the circumstances that led to this person
inventing this martial art called Judo, if I know all the physics of the angles of throws, where the fulcrum is applied the principles of leverage that lead to the throws in judo, I ignore all of this but will
If I have actually not learned and practiced Judo in a dojo under his Judo teacher, then if I go onto the street and somebody attacks me, even though I am the world's greatest expert on Judo, I will be flat on my back in one minute.
My knowledge about Judo will not help me. All the books that I wrote about Judo will not help me if I do not practice judo. And how does the practice of judo start? as me because I have practiced Judo, I practice Aikido both.
It starts by fun learning how to fall, what is the first thing they do to you, when you go to the Judo they throw you.
You fall and you fall and you fall and you fall, and you learn how to fall without hurting yourself. And only then you get to the stage where they teach you how to talk.
That is a situation with Islam.
If you want to benefit from Islam, you have to practice Islam, just knowing about Islam doesn't help. So should we not know about Islam, of course, it was nobody's law. You cannot practice Islam unless you know about Islam. You cannot practice Judo unless you know about judo. But if our effort stops with knowing about and it does not go from knowing about to practicing than just the knowing about is worthless, it will not help us. So it's extremely important for us to focus on practicing what we are learning.
If there is a name for Serato darat, that suits it, it would be sure to oma
it is a surah which has priceless instructions about building a community and keeping it together. While honoring all kinds of diversity. This is one of our biggest issues today, which is that we are split into into divisions and into all kinds of things. And we all say well, you know what to do. We are so diverse. We have people today, Islam has spread all over the world. That is the good news. The bad news is that because Islam spread all over the world, the Muslims have now acquired customs and practices and cultures, from all kinds of places. And therefore This has resulted in divisions. The thing I want to remind you of myself is that that was the exact situation even at the time when
I was a salon, the Muslim community at the time of rasulillah salam was a very diverse community. There were people of different races, there were people of different cultures, there were people who spoke different languages, yet rasulillah salam was able to forge a single unit, which was based on a brotherhood of faith. Now, how did he do that? What are the principles and rules of that we learn from this surah and that is the whole issue of of love of the Almighty. In our world today, this is a huge challenge. And one of the factors which is critical to our success as leaders to be able to forge a unit from people in it who are diverse.
mentioned in these is also
something which is a terminal illness, so to speak, with respect to building the oma. So we are starting from what not to do before we go to what to do because if we can, if you can block the things that destroy the oma, then inshallah Omar will be safe, irrespective of whatever else we do, even if you don't if you are not too strong, but building as long as we are
stopping the forces of destruction, we are on to a good thing. Now, what I'm going to tell you is something which destroys all the good work of bringing hearts together, as surely as the hidden work of termites in the massive beams of a roof will suddenly bring it down on the heads of the occupants of that house. This is such a major danger that Allah subhanaw taala explained it with a very graphic example. And that's regardless at all We live in a shaytani r rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Yeah, un levina Mano Elias kar como como manassa yakun ohira me in home. What a nice
meizhou Vasa como la voz ob
B cell is also Koba del V. Ramallah Mia to
whom was on the moon.
Danny Walker's here on Minos one in one nice. What
you have to comb I Kula Hama he made curry tomo. What the whole law in a lot of Rahim Allah Allah said which means all you will believe Let not one group of you mock another group
Let not one group have you make fun of or mock another group, it may be that the latter the second group are better than the former, the ones who are being mocked, it is possible that in the sight of Allah, they are better than the people who are mocking them, nor let some women mock other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor should you defame one another. nor should you insult one another by bad nicknames. How bad is it, that you insert your brother after having faith? How bad is it to insert one's brother after having faith? And whosoever does not repent, then such Indeed, the transgressors they are dissolve the moon. And then unless it only will believe, a wide
suspicion, don't suspect people. Indeed some suspicions are sins and don't spy and don't backbite one another? Would one of you would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Surely you would hate it. So hate backbiting and fear, a loss of handle data, anger, fear Allah? Verily, Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who accepts repentance and is the Most Merciful.
My brother's does.
Its very,
very, very critical that we understand this whole issue of backbiting. The whole issue of calling people names, the whole issue of criticizing one another mocking one another. May Allah protect us today. The another big issue is pronouncing the field. Right, saying that also is a Kaffir. So and so is is not a Muslim, as if we can go into their hearts to see whether there is faith or not. There's a famous incident in the Sierra, where in one reservoir in one Syria actually in one battle, Osama bin Zayed or the Allahu who was like the grandson of Rosa Rosa salami, he was the son of Zaid bin haritha.
Who was the Corazon Assad called Zayed bin Mohammed until Allah subhanaw taala.
Limited adoption, as in giving your name to an adopted child.
Islam does not prevent you from taking care of orphans but you can't give them your name, their biological parents have rights and their biological parents name is what they will carry. And also if you are raising somebody that that child does not become your child, that child does not inherit from you. If you need to give that child something you have to give during your lifetime. If you have some other children along with that child, then at the time when you die, there is no inheritance for the adopted child so called adopt a child and your property and wealth will will go only to your natural biological children. This is a side note just so that we clear this. So Osama
bin Zayed Al Delano, in one battle. He was fighting he saw a man who he had personal enmity with that man I mean these two, not only were they on two sides of the, in this battle, but also in this particular person for whatever reason. Allah knows best. That person and also because they were enemies, they did not like each other. But when they were when they came when the class was happening or about to happen, that man said a shadow Allah Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, that man accepted Islam he called out and he said, I believe in Allah subhanaw taala and the source of Salah
was Abizaid of Allah who despite that killed the man
Other people also saw this. So they came. And when they came back, they
completed resources. And they said sama killed a man who had accepted Islam. Now, obviously that is something which is prohibited. Even in the battle, a lot of it is very clear that if somebody comes on your site, accept Islam means what he has come to your site. If he does that, then you redirect him, you can kill him. Now, this happened, and this happened because I was a fella who didn't like them. And so as soon as somebody called him, I'm talking about Pronouncing takfeer calling somebody cover, and then saying that, oh, but you know this, that and so on, and we justify our wrong action. So as soon as a song called Musab is a little girl and when he asked him, he said, What is this?
This is what I hear that you killed a man who had declared the Shahada azobenzene of Allah who spontaneously said yes, Allah he did that only to escape that he that was not in his heart. He didn't do that sincerely. He did that only to escape.
Massara salams blessed face became a red with anger.
And upset to San Jose, you open this just to see whether there was email Did you open his chest to see whether there was sincerity?
Now think about this, when we pronounced that field on somebody, and May Allah protect us, there are people in the Muslims are doing this all the time. Right? Whichever group you belong to, you point to somebody else or other group and you say they are not Muslim, this that. I'm not saying that every practice that everybody doing everybody is doing is right. No, there are wrong practices. The correct practice is what sola sola Salaam and his hava did, there is no doubt about this. That w Saracen um did not bring multiple flavors of Islam, as soon as rossana brought one religion, and that one religion is Islam, and how that religion is to be practiced and live by the finest example
is the life of a soulless wrestler himself. And the lives of his Sahaba is run by her image by who he taught who learned from him, what they did is correct. What anyone else does, will be correct, provided it tallies with water, solar, solar solar grid. And if it does not tell you, it doesn't matter. Who that knew who that person is. We do not follow that person. We follow her so like, there's no doubt about this, however,
to criticize somebody else who is listening. Now you might say, Well, you know, if they are doing these practices, they are not Muslim. They have left Islam. Let me out. Let me remind you of the Hudson wisdom. They asked in this era, Salah Who is
the one who said, a shadow Lyla illallah wa salam ala rasulillah. He said the one who said La ilaha illAllah, who prays in the direction of our Kaaba, and who eats what is not just three things, right? That the boundary of Islam, somebody who, who believes in the Shahada,
who has taken the Shahada, who believes in Allah Subhana Allah and His Messenger masa Salah, and who demonstrates that belief by Salah
that the person prays
and plays in the direction of our coverage does not bring in some other direction. And that person eats what we slaughter, which means that he is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, that person is a Muslim. Now, whatever else he might be doing some other things, he's doing these three things, but he's also drinking alcohol. He's also doing something. He's also has no interest based transactions, banking transactions, maybe he's going and, you know, to some grave and he is apparently because of what we see. We don't know what is in his heart. You see him, you know, standing at the grave with his hands like this or something. What not, I'm not saying all of these practices are right, they
are not right. What is not correct is not correct. But do I have or do you have a right to pronounce that fear or that person? Do you have the right to say he or she is not a Muslim?
Please, let Allah subhanaw taala decide who is a Muslim or non Muslim. As far as we are concerned, as long as the apostle said lie, Lola, as long as a person is praying, as long as a person eats what we slaughter, he's a Muslim, she's a Muslim. They are our brothers and sisters. If we have a problem with anything that they do, let us go talk to them. Let us sit with them. Let us make friends with them. Let us be nice to them. Do not pronounce that fee do not criticize them. Do not definitely bag by them. Don't mock them. Don't give them nasty names. All of this Allah subhanaw taala has prohibited
us Babu. circumstances of revelation of these two Ayat of surah, 11 and 12. They are related in two incidents, one concerning Sabbath in Christ being shammas
was hard of hearing and he used to sit next to him when he came late and then he started to step over the people who get close to a saucer salon. And he called out mu boo boo. Someone told him sit down where you are there is a place there so he cuz that man he reviled that man and Allah subhanho wa Taala reveal these islands, right? He got angry any customer and also the circumstances of Revelation, they revert to an incident where our mothers Isaiah and hafsa or Viola Anwar, they made fun of Osama de la because he was shot and others made fun of Sofia bento a bit
of a law on her because she was ethnically Jewish. She completed Rosa Salaam and he said you should have told them that my father is heroin. My uncle is Moosa and my husband is Mohammed salsa. So you know he gave an answer which, which converted him. Now people also complain that others were calling calling them by derogatory names. Allah subhanaw taala that then revealed this ayah and Allah had done was best, my brothers sisters, what is the result of suspicion which Allah subhanaw taala forbade us from having and he called it a sin. What is the result of being so eager to believe the worst about our brothers and sisters, and so reluctant to change that opinion, no matter how much
evidence is produced to show that you are wrong, this is a cause of the terminal illness of the heart. And I refer to this terminal illness which is called Riba backbiting and all its branches, which is Bhutan, which is slander, and now vema, which is innuendo. May Allah protect us from this, my blood sisters, please the remember and understand that. This is like literally from the perspective of the Brotherhood of the faith. This is, as I mentioned, this is like the,
like termites, he eats up from inside from within.
Like, it's from within. And you don't even know that, until the whole building collapses on top of our heads. So let us be let us look at this thing and be very serious about this. A lot around that I began this is by wanting us to remember the basis of our brotherhood, which is faith in him and worshiping Him alone, as He alone is worthy of worship. So unless rather prohibited people from mocking one another and laughing at one another, laughing with one another is good, it's good humor, we should all laugh together. But laughing at yourself is very important, because otherwise we take ourselves too seriously and that is bad, but laughing at people. This is haram laughing at one
another. This is not not a good thing to mock somebody, especially a believer is clearly prohibited. In this. Let us reflect on why mocking is prohibited so emphatically because mocking is a result of arrogance. You only mock those you look down on and consider yourself to be superior. This is the surest way to enter Johanna Vitara Sallam said in a hadith narrated by Abdullah Massoud He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride of arrogance shall not enter Jannah he said a person among his heroes who are listening to him they asked they said Verily a person loves that his dress should be good and his shoes should be good. And so on Louisa Sam said Verily Allah is
graceful and he loves grace. Yeah allow Jamil on the hobo Jamal, right is to look down on people, it is to disdain the truth out of God out of conceit and to have contempt for the people and this is in say a Muslim. I really asked you and I remind myself, let us be very clear, and let us look at how we behave and what we do. And let us keep very, very far from arrogance, from looking down on others, and from mocking people from making fun of people from giving them bad nicknames. From definitely from backbiting from slandering. From Amina, which is casting aspersions and innuendo, it is very important for us to change our ways of behavior and to stand up against this anytime we see
it. So not only must we not do it, we must also stop other people from doing the same. My brothers and sisters
we continue on the subject of of Riba I mentioned three words, rebirth, Dan and Amina.
Which is backbiting, slander and
NEMA which is casting aspersions and innuendo. Now backbiting is fairly straightforward. It means that you are saying you're saying something negative about somebody
in their absence, right, saying something negative to somebody to their face is constructive criticism. I mean, obviously, you do that in the in a proper way. Just abusing somebody makes no sense. But doing it in a in the proper way, with sincerity in your heart that the other person must benefit. And hamdulillah This is good. This is part of mentoring. This is constructive criticism, but too bad talk somebody to talk evil and ill about somebody behind their back. This is backbiting This is Riba.
Allah subhanaw taala in the surah, he compared that to eating the dead body of your own brother. I mean, how nasty and dirty is that? Right? So therefore, Allah does it for Corinne tomo, Allah said, you will find this disgusting you will find is this is a very, you know, as an example, it's, it's something that will that will make you it's something you dislike, and I said, this is worse than that. So very important that's backbiting slander is straightforward lies, just inventing some story about somebody to malign them to defend them. So that is slander. Now, Viva is something which is sometimes even worse than these two, where you have not invented a story. You have not you're not
bad biting somebody, but you are implying something negative about another person, without using words without seeing it in so many words. For example, if somebody mentions a person, and somebody says, Do you know this person? So and so you say, Oh, yeah, I tell me about, tell me about
somebody says, you know, this guy, I was I was listening to a lecture by so and so. Ah, hmm.
Now, all this kind of all these kinds of gestures, all these kinds of, you know, references are negative, and what you're doing now is your character, assassinating that person completely and totally. So you want to inject doubt in the minds of the of your listeners, about this person, where this person now is, you know, and obviously, it's being done with abortion is not there, or of these three things are Haram. All of these three things are, as I said, they are tantamount to termites inside the beams of a building. You don't see that until the building collapses on your head.
As somebody said, conceit only needs a mirror. But arrogance needs another person to demean and oppress confidence and feeling good about yourself is not arrogance, but feeling that you are superior to somebody is arrogance. There is nothing good about not having confidence, confidence is very important.
Dignity begins in the person, your own heart, if you do not feel confident, and if you do not feel dignity, other people cannot invest you with dignity. a doormat is a doormat, even if it's made of gold, right? So set a self esteem, which is based on reality Alhamdulillah there's nothing wrong and feeling good about yourself, but exaggerating that and saying I'm the best in the world, nobody's best in the world. That so keeping that in mind, but there's nothing there's nothing positive and there's nothing
you know, romantic and there's nothing beneficial about pretending to be less than what you are. Many times people are pretending to be less than what they are, are being insincere they are being hypocritical, because for example, if somebody says this, you know, I respect you, so no, no, no, no and nothing I am I am like the dust on the street. No, please. This is nonsense. Right? This is a light in the dark era, said anybody who says, in my humble opinion, is not being humble. I mean, this is a very common way that people have what we call the IKEA column, where people like like to say, in my humble opinion, in my opinion, right? I'll just said opening it. There's no need even to
have this preamble of, in my opinion, obviously, if I'm expressing something his opinion, whereas the need to say that, but especially in my humble opinion, this is actually
sino elegance and this is what
he said. So, let us make Toba and let us change our attitudes and let us change our language. Language is very, very critical because language both reflects and Moore's attitude. So that's why let us develop the right language. And our attitude will change to match that language. One of the things that he taught us is to spread the Salaam, he said Be the first to give Salah because that's a sign of, of a genuine sense of humility. Many times people, older people, they wait for younger people to say Salaam to them first and then they say, well it was Allah, but my submission to his Salaam is dry. So if you are the older person, whose right is it to give them the younger persons
must give what you are, you should give. So, take be be, you know, try to race with each other in in giving salam to one another. And that's where our this beautiful thing of ours Alhamdulillah It teaches us these things where our language reflects an attitude which needs to change, let us hasten to make the work and to change that attitude. Very important for us to keep this in mind. And to monitor our language right many times we develop attitudes, not just beta as I think most of the time we develop attitudes
in you know, into our conditioning childhood, sometimes the atmosphere that we grew up in social customs and so on and so forth. And this attitude translates into a sense of arrogance. I remember the first time I went rides that I went to the guest of my very good friend Kim singer I thought so he's you know, minor royalty when the state is in heavily. Now they're all the servants the gods and well, they address you as hokum means hokum is like you not real majesty, but this is a vessel, nobody do you have no hope about giving the order?
More command, but it's like that. So this is a Hong Kong. So if I say can I have a cup of tea? Whoa, whoa,
whoa, come on, you know, by now.
That's how they speak to him. But because I am, I was his guest. I mean, everybody also all the all the servants. And they all refer started referring to me as Oh, really, believe me. I mean, every day in the night, I had to sit and do well, and make us the flop, because I could feel I could feel this sense of superiority, you know, coming into my heart, everyone is bowing and scraping and everyone is walking backwards, and they won't, they won't turn around. And you know, they won't have their back facing me. And this, this whole thing of Coca Cola, whatever, imagine if you are living in that atmosphere, what happens to you in some way or the other these kinds of things.
The purview underlie the kind of family I come from other In other words, and so on. We have some version of that there as well, not not as bad as I sound, but still, in some ways. So I'm saying these are things which come in through our conditioning and our upbringing, which must be come back these are these are very bad and negative things. So, let us let us let us reflect on the purpose of these lectures is for us to remind each other and to reflect on these things and to change them.
Let us not use bad nicknames. Again, there is nothing remotely funny about referring to someone without respect or making racial or other jokes and racial comments. All of these practices are harm is not just a matter of being politically correct.
Islam prohibits that Islam prohibits racism of every kind, Islam prohibits it. The first racist was shaitan, where he said I'm racially superior to other militia, and that landed him in the hellfire. So remember that? If you feel that you are superior to somebody because you are white, because you're black, because you are Indian, because you are, you know, Hyderabadi or because you are from somewhere Punjabi, or Pakistani or whatever. If you think that you are superior to somebody else, believe me, you're playing with the fire of hell with a fire of Jana. Don't do that. The next terminal illness that Allah warned us against is again as I mentioned this issue of Riba and Amoeba
and is something that we must be very, very,
very, very clear about.
One day I was walking with some of his companions, when he overheard two of them, talking about a third person who was not was not present. At that moment. They passed by the door
The dead coat which was on a garbage, a garbage heap, and he was spelling it, it was decomposing
them call them he said, Would you like to eat that goat? They were very shocked and this is certainly not jasola
also known as Adam said, what you were speaking about now is worse than that. Let's see the see the tarbiyah has also set up here remember, he loved his companions very, very much. He loved them more than any father can love his children and they loved him so much that Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned their love for mamas Arizona in the Quran. And Allah said that this companions cassava they love Amazon more than they love themselves. This is a loss of Antara is bearing witness in
the eye unless bearing witness Allah is the witness for the love that the Sahaba the companions had for Rasulullah sallallahu. So, this is so very critically important.
Yet,
did not hesitate to call a spade a spade, he did not as it did to,
to give critical feedback to people straight and directly to the face. Tell me how much more direct Can you be? Here are two people talking about a third person Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam calls them shows them a dead goat, a stinking carcass which is, you know, God knows few days old, which is lying down on the garbage heap? And then he says, Would you like to eat that nut? How much more direct can you get? So we like read that, obviously the Sava they are first, you know, usually shocked because of the example. And perhaps even more shocked because of who's saying that because naturalism is not the person who speaks like that normally, right? He is not like that. He doesn't
say things like this, he is not he is the kindest and the and the most, you know, dignified person, the kindest person, the sweetest person, and he is saying something like this? Is it this cognizer would you like to eat that? Now? This is so shocking to them, and their eyes open is a jasola No, never. You know, why would there was no sense in what you were doing just now is worse than that. Because Allah subhanaw taala said, this is like eating the flesh of your dead brother, can you believe this? Somebody is dead, they have been vetted, you exude that carcass and then you're eating that stuff. I love him. And last minute, Allah said that what you do in terms of Viva, when you are
bad talking somebody it was that they asked us what is given
upset to speak something Ill about somebody in the absence, this as well. But the positive is like that. So I'm not making it up. It's not that I'm not making it up. This is how the person is
said that is why it is called Viva, if the person was not like that, if you had been making this up, that that would be bad, which would be you know, maybe even worse. There is another beautiful story of ISIS delana, who once said about soldato, they allowed her that she was a bit heavy. She said you know she's fat, a salsa dancer Ayesha, and I just did the Corolla is the most beloved to Russell licensed in
the US or Delano One day, he also had his way of speaking where he would give a person complete attention. So if somebody was talking, I asked a question, you said something. And if the person was to one side, that would completely turn towards that person. And he would look at them in the eye, he would, he would be fully focused on that person. He never spoke to somebody or his shoulder and so on. So including, if there was someone walking with Him, if they asked a question, as soon as reasonable struck, he would turn to that person and then he would talk to them. Now, this resulted in many of us have a feeling that nobody loves me the most because it gives me some advantage. So
I'm going to realize what the law says that one day, I decided to test this, but I didn't want to ask him directly. He also loved who loved me the most. I said to him, yes or no, who do you love the most?
That doesn't upset Asia. So he said, I then said Yes, that's right. But you know, I mean, among the men who do love the most, as soon as Allison said the father of it out of the razzle dazzle said when I decided to stop, I didn't want to take any chances of asking anything but not the same. I shall delana who I love more than anybody else, and he was he didn't hesitate to say that in public. She said about shoulder we allow another of our mothers that she is
Ayesha, if these words were put into the ocean, it would turn the entire water of the ocean very bitter.
That you remember. I just did the carnival and I was not cursing. So that'll delana. She was not mocking her. She was not, you know, giving her bad nicknames.
She said that she is fat.
So I tell her that reaction. I mean, she was a very feisty person. She said, Yes, she is like that. Yeah, I mean, she must have felt hurt, obviously. So she said, you know she is.
That is why it is Reba. She is like that. That's true. But you are saying that interruptions. And obviously you're not praising her. Right? You're not praising her. You're saying that in a way which is critical. And she is not here. He said, If these words were taken and put into the ocean, the whole ocean would become bitter. And this is what I asked you and I remind myself, let us think about how we talk. What we say how we say we are lovers, you know this is our entire social life.
When we sit together when we talk, we are always talking about somebody and usually it is something negative.
That is such a nasty habit that is haram in Islam, Allah subhanaw taala will punish this thing. And this is the reason why the whole oma is struggling today, because all the beams and foundations of our building of this man have become empty and they become completely eaten up from and say thanks to this habit of ours.
In the another incident of the sea that someone came and asked around for remedy for two women who are complaining of severe stomach ache, let me tell us alum call them and he made them vomit. They vomited out lumps of raw meat. As soon as the resident said you were eating dead meat, because you were doing diva. Now this is one of the modules that miracles are set up to where Allah subhanaw taala enabled this for him to graphically show the meaning of this ayat of Surah 200. Now, what exactly is divine? I mentioned this to you and let me read the headings of this. There are no reported data sources and observed Do you know what is backbiting? The Companions, the Sahaba said,
Allah and His Messenger robust. Thereupon He is Allah salami said, backbiting implies you're talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like. So, this is a dream, what is your opinion about this?
That I actually find that failing in my brother, which I made mentioned off.
So as I said, you know, we just sort of said what is backbiting? It is to say something about your brother, which is negative. So zabba said he has a law, what if that is the case? As soon as I said, if that failing is actually found in him, you in fact back Vitor, did you In fact, get a visa? And if that not if that is not in him, then that is slander? That is
that is slander?
Which is not that now this is in say a Muslim? And
in another Hadith, a man asks us what is a solemn, what is backbiting? What is Riba? Or solar so seldom said, it is to mention about a man what he does not like to hear. And we're here by Manny, we're not talking gender, man means man and woman to hear was to mention about somebody what they would not like to hear. And the man said, jasola, even if it is true, Sir, sir, sir, if you utter something false, then that is slander, meaning that yes, it is backbiting, if it is true, if it is not true, then it is slander, it is Botha. And this is in Mota Malik. Now, how bad does it have to become
to qualify as Riba?
And how bad does it have to call shouldn't be qualified. And for this, I gave you the example of say that I just did.
What you said in passing about, say that in a soda or the law that she was rather heavy, and as soon as and as an upset that if these words were put into the oceans, they would make the whole ocean bitter, and it's a very high standard, which is
set for us 100. But this is so critically important, because this is the reason why this Omar today is fractured into pieces, because we are constantly fighting each other. Now, think about this, why is rebar
so bad? And why is it privated so severely? My brothers, sisters, for any community to be formed and grow together and form bonds of belonging, it is essential that people respect one another. Love is the result of respect. Riba destroys respect. And so it destroys love for one another, without love for one another. divisions are created, and the oma is destroyed. I don't think I need to give examples. we ourselves are living examples of what we have done to ourselves.
That society is full of this kind of thing about ancestors, the one who does Riba gives away his good deeds to the victim, I think about that, how intelligent is it, to give away good deeds to the one you dislike, because obviously, you're doing it, but you're criticizing somebody, so you don't like that person. But to that person, you are giving away your good deeds. So on the Day of Judgment, when you go, you will find that your deeds are gone to the person that you dislike. And that's why I'm Buhari. He said, If I have to do Reba, I will do the birth of my mother, because then at least my good deeds will go to the one I love. Now that he was doing it is what he said, in our
shop, Angola was informed one day somebody came and told him that someone was doing his labor, somebody was criticizing him by biting him. So Chavez sent him some food from fresh fruit, he sent him a gift. The man was surprised. And he asked him the reason he said, Why did you send me this gift? Now, Chavez said, since I believe that you are giving me your good deeds, I thought I should at least Thank you. And so this is a gift for you. Otherwise, I always say thank the slanderer for he gives an AST. It is strange to reflect if you think about it, that we don't even imagine giving away our good deeds to our own brothers and friends who we love, yet we gladly give them away to
those who hate what a shame. And how destructive is it for the well being of the Muslim Omar pharma. And that's why they agree the Viva Viva has been prohibited. Now, what is not even that meaning, it may be something critical that you are saying, but it does not come into the form of liver, there are a couple of things. First of all, it is not Riba to give information about criminal. So for example, if there is an investigation that is happening about a crime,
and you say, Well, you know, I can't tell you, I can't participate, I can't cooperate in this in this investigation, because
because I don't want to know, if it is something which relates to an investigation, then it is your job to communicate. Secondly, to give information about someone that you are asked about, who someone else wants to marry or do business with, is not evil. So if someone says please tell me about this person I want to marry and you have some negative information about that person, then it is your job to inform so that the other person does not fall into this transaction and suffers later. And then you say, Oh, no, but you know, I knew I knew this all along, but if you knew it, you should have told them. So that is not Riba. If you tell somebody something negative that you know
about another person who they want to marry or do business with. And third one to speak and warn people about someone who is corrupting society or Islam. This is not Riba. As long as that person's action is being done in public, then it is your job to warn people against that person, because that person is doing the action probably but even there, try to talk to that person first and stop them.
As I mentioned to one of the branches of Riba is an amoeba
and half is a laundry. He said the oma is unanimously agreed that nama is forbidden and it's one of the greatest sins in the sight of Allah subhanho wa Taala. There are many texts, which condemned Amoeba and spying and looking for people's faults. And this must deter us from committing these haram actions. And ask Allah subhanaw taala to to be pleased with us and to save us from ourselves. Well, I don't know. You know how many things we do by Allah forgive us and save us from from ourselves? Was Allah Allah Allah will carry while Allah He was ibH may be Radhika Amara, he may not have the reliability Mira Solomonic Baraka

Q: How can I handle a hover the Polymer way without external libraries? I figured I would need to do something like:

blah
 because handling clicks looks like this:

blah

I've tried using the way shown in the documentation here: declarative event mapping , but on-mouseenter and on-mouseover aren't working as expected.
I'm also having trouble passing parameters to my handlers, but that's a different story.

A: Actually it should be
<button on-mouseover='onHovered'
        on-mouseout='onUnhovered'>

without the curly braces. Also, you don't need to pass in the properties if you need to use them in the event handler function.

A: on-mouseover and on-mouseout are correct, here's a demo as a Stack Snippet:

<my-app></my-app>

<polymer-element name='my-app'>
  <template>
    <button on-mouseover='{{onHovered}}'
            on-mouseout='{{onUnhovered}}'>
      A humble button
    </button>

      hovered: {{hovered}}

  </template>

</polymer-element>

It's possible that your element doesn't have a myHoverHandler property. Perhaps there's a typo?
As for whether to use Polymer event binding vs other methods, you can absolutely do this with vanilla js or jquery or whatever. Polymer handles a bit of the busy work, like making sure that the event handler is registered in conditional and repeated templates, binding this to the element which is usually what you want, and deregistering the handlers when their elements are removed from the DOM. There are times though when doing it manually makes sense too though.

A: In case you need to react to hover on the host-Component itself, you should use listeners:
<dom-module id="hoverable-component">
  <template>

Hoverable Component

  </template>

</dom-module>

At a country market last weekend I enjoyed rummaging through a huge collection of old photo's and postcards . I came across these ones that I thought looked interesting. I particularly liked the ones that had been written on, I can read the date of 1906 on one. It is interesting to get a sneak peek into a small piece of the past, although I do struggle in trying to read the scrawled handwriting. I wonder who the lady is in the photo, she is very beautiful.
Blasted stamp collectors, I wish they had just left it on.


Ok, ok—so we here at Dwell are known for our unabashed love of all things Heath. But in our defense, they make it really difficult not to love them whenever they roll out new products. Case in point: their new line of designs tailored to the littlest modernists out there. We're swooning over the pint-sized, three-piece dinnerware sets; bowls; and utensils in their kids' line. And their factory puzzle is pretty awesome, too (plus it won't break if your tyke causes it to tumble to the floor).

Carolyn WarmSun lives in the hills of Oakland, California. Carolyn grew up in rural southern Indiana and obtained her Bachelor's Degree at Southern Illinois University and her Master's Degree from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.
She has worked in the field of mental health for many years before beginning a career in Organization Development Consulting. She now paints full time.
She worked with Stanley Mock from 1991-2000 to learn stone sculpting. Tendonitis in both wrists required that she stop. She then began taking watercolor classes at her local high school, followed by four semesters of watercolor painting classes at a local Community College after she retired.
Jennifer C. Bongiorno has been a professional photographer for more than 17 years. It all began in the 1980's with her beloved first camera, a Kodak Fisher Price. Over the past two decades, she's photographed everything from weddings and portraits to government ceremonies and landscape photography. Jennifer graduated with an Associate's Degree in Visual Arts from Mercer County Community College in 1997. From 2000 to 2005, she worked as the official photographer and Director of Photography for the New Jersey governor's office. In her role there, she photographed press conferences, official and private events.
Today, Jennifer continues her photography journey capturing timeless landscapes using her Nikon D810. With her eye for detail, composition and natural lighting, Jennifer's love of children, nature, astronomy and photography shines through the camera. Jennifer won Honorable Mention from the International Photography Awards for Waterford and Light the Way 2. In addition, Jennifer has won multiple awards from Light Space & Time Online Gallery. She is currently a member of the South Jersey Camera Club.
Sue Majewski is a mosaic artist living in the metropolitan Detroit, Michigan area. Her background in art began with a Bachelor's Degree in graphic design from Wayne State University and she continues her studies through workshops and online learning experiences.
The process of creating mosaics, in its many different forms became a way to share her creativity many years ago and continues to evolve. She teaches mosaic art classes, shows work in local galleries and her artwork has appeared in publications and competitions.
From my heart, through my hands, with an enthusiastic layover in my imagination, inspiration seizes me. It is my passion for life that inspires me to create. My creativity is sparked by the materials that surround me and by the infinite world of imagination and wonder. To share that world of mystery and magic is my absolute sheer delight.
Lively, effervescent color rhythmically pulsates through the paintings of American artist Paula Montgomery. Beginning each composition with a particular hue or design, Montgomery then lets her materials and concept guide her process as she produces unique and texturized canvases. Primarily focusing on flora as a subject, Montgomery passionately transforms everyday flowers into painterly visual poems.
Paula utilizes either a lithe, expressionistic brushstroke or a purposeful palette knife, the artist boldly applies paints with a poetic flourish. Unwilling to limit herself to traditional materials alone, Montgomery embraces mixed media techniques and materials in order to accumulate the abstract quality of her works. Thus the paintings hover gracefully between abstraction and representation. Elegant and independent, these paintings exude a sense of peace and joy.
A lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, Lou Ann Goodrich currently resides in Oregon where she maintains forested acreage preserved for wildlife.
She is a proponent for a balanced environment and habitat conducive to maintaining diversity and sustainability for wildlife and the natural world. Animals have always been a large part of her life and after retiring from a career in medicine she pursued photography to record and express the beauty of nature.
Now a passionate nature and wildlife photographer, she particularly strives to portray species specific behavior in her images. Recently, she has diversified and added digital photo artistry to her skills which allows an additional creativity and artistic presentation of her images. Although new to the art world she is gaining recognition through published images and awards in photography and digital art.
Patricia O'Brien's contemporary oil portraits and figurative paintings are created to capture the essence of the human spirit; they evoke expressions of humor, surprise, fear, and the spectrum of emotions we all experience and show the world, even if we aren't aware that we do. By manipulating the tools available to an artist, experimenting with palette and brush stroke, these emotions are realized and a personality is coaxed from her canvas.
Her work tells a story, encouraging the viewer to discover the narrative. By taking traditional portraiture, amplifying the color wattage, injecting unexpected pairings, and an occasional sprinkling of wry humor, she has created her unique style. Her recent work, the man/women and beast series, is a testament to this signature style. The collection features an individual, an animal, and a hint of comedy.
Her path from electrical engineer to self-taught artist trained her to analyze, to experiment, to test ideas, and to challenge herself when creating her contemporary work. She began her professional art career as a muralist. Through ongoing classes and critiques, she continues to refine and expand her skillset. Painting public and private murals provided a unique opportunity to interact with viewers while painting onsite, providing immediate feedback. This enabled her to see viewers search the images and observe their reactions firsthand. Mural work also afforded her an opportunity to explore various subject matter, such as cityscapes, landscapes, florals, and more, depending on her clients' needs.
After directing her energy to works on canvas, she relished the challenge to develop her own interpretation of the human form, and it captured her heart. Each new piece of artwork begins with the most essential feature – the eyes, the windows to the soul. They set the mood, and begin the story. The supporting elements in the composition are selected to concisely complete the narrative.
Catherine King is an American digital artist and photographer artist based in Northern Nevada and California. She strives to tell stories through decorative, historical, and inspirational art work.
Her goal is to engage her viewer's imaginations, getting them to linger a little longer picking out a detail or a story in one of her pieces. Stories, histories, fantasies from childhood, over-the-top cinema, art history, literature, and music with clever lyrics are all her inspirations. Second only to creating art, she is inspired by her travels around the world.
One of the strongest motivators that drives an artist to create, is the impulse to express and capture the emotional truth to either an idea, a place or a time. Wendy Fee's vi-brant, dynamic paintings are her response to the ever-changing landscape of natural elements that inspire her both at home and when travelling.
In 2013, Wendy became a member of The Montreal Art Centre, a community of sixty artists whose studios are located in a historic building in Griffintown, Montreal. This con-temporary artist's abstract works are created in her studio space and reflect her signature use of textures and layers using a variety of aqua media such as watercolour, inks, acrylic paints and mediums. By nature, watercolour is uncontrollable, and Wendy embraces the freedom and risk-taking of this new range of materials.
Wendy has been expressing herself artistically for over thirty years, yet the path to pur-sue art on a professional level has been as unpredictable and flowing as the paint that washes over her canvases.
Sketching and drawing in her formative years, after graduating high school she was ac-accepted to Goddard College in Vermont, a "one of a kind institution of higher education with a history of creativity and chaos, invention and experimentation." Being part of a free-spirited generation, Wendy declined the opportunity in favour of travel and experiencing "life". Her husband of more than thirty-five years, together have since raised a wonderful family, pursued careers and have never taken opportunities and good fortune for granted.
Originally from Montreal, Wendy obtained an Executive MBA from Athabasca University in Alberta and a Postgraduate Diploma in Event Management from Fitzwilliam Institute in Dublin, Ireland. Currently residing in Bainsville, Ontario, she enjoyed a successful career as a Senior Sales and Marketing Manager in the health care industry before deciding to launch her own event planning business in 2009, Chain of Events, operating as President, Owner and Founder. When Wendy chose the name of her company, it was in the spirit of "one thing leads to another" and in 2015 launched Chain of Events Studio with enthusiasm, transitioning from the business world to pursue art on a professional level.
Wendy is an intuitive painter and shares a passion for colour, fashion, beauty and sim-ply her joy of life. Growing up, Wendy's family spent time outdoors, skiing in the Laurentians during the winter and spending the summer months by the ocean. Wendy is drawn to the drama of the colours in nature, with sunsets and water a constant source of fascination.
Since making the decision to pursue art on a professional level in 2015, Wendy's debut solo show Natural Elements took place at The Montreal Art Centre, and more recently in September 2016, Wendy showcased Escape! Abstract Explorations of Land, Sea & Sky. This new body of work was inspired by four months living aboard a boat with her husband where together, they navigated the Intracoastal Waterway, crossing the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas and spending a month in the remote Berry Islands. In addition, one of her mixed-media art pieces was selected for publication September 2016 in In-cite 4:Relax.Restore.Renew.
Susan Oakes is a freelance graphic artist and art instructor who draws from a diverse background of psychology (B.A.), business, (management) art and technology. She has taught art at Briarcliffe College in NY, as well as Palm Beach State College and the School District of Palm Beach County in addition to many private students. In my work I blur the borders between photography, painting, and digital illustration and reveal that art and technology are not antagonistic, but can coexist and be used to enhance each other in new and exciting ways.
Although my art is a product of computer hardware and software, it is not the result of anything "automatic", and is developed from my original photography. There is no "formula" or automatic process; no two pieces are done in exactly the same way.
I create my pieces using a variety of medium. It all depends on the effect I'm seeking. I discovered a relatively new medium! ALCOHOL INKS! I was completely hooked from day one.
This medium is so fascinating and fun to play with. It's gotten to the point that I can't stop exploring and discovering the marvelous way the inks move.
It has become a mission to share this delightful medium and techniques with others. I am fulfilling this by exhibiting my pieces, teaching both artists and non-artists how fun creating with alcohol inks can be!

    }
    return sb.toString();
}

Please help me out that how I can get the same javascript output in my android app.

    public static String getSHA(final String ca) {
    MessageDigest md;
    try {
        md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        md.update(Base64.decode(ca.getBytes()));

        byte byteData[] = md.digest();

        StringBuilder hexString = new StringBuilder();
        for (byte aByteData : byteData) {
            String hex = Integer.toHexString(0xff & aByteData);
            if (hex.length() == 1) hexString.append('0');
            hexString.append(hex);
        }
        return  hexString.toString().replaceAll("..(?!$)", "$0:").toUpperCase();
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return "";
}

Bill Barr blasts NY AG for 'overreach' in Trump family prosecutions
NY AG Letitia James on Wednesday announced she would pursue civil fraud charges against Trump and three of his children.
By Ben Whedon
Updated: September 21, 2022 - 3:42pm
previous prosecutions
Former Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James for her "overreach" in pursuing fraud charges against former President Donald Trump's children.
"It's hard for me not to conclude that this is a political hit job," Barr said, according to The Hill. "I'm not even sure that she has a good case against Trump himself but what ultimately persuades me that this is a political hit job is that she grossly overreaches when she tries to drag the children into this."
AG James announced on Wednesday she would pursue civil fraud charges against Trump and three of his children: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump. Moreover, she seeks $250 million from them and to bar the former president and children from serving as director of any business in the state.
The New York Democrat has alleged that Trump inflated the values of his properties on his financial statements. In announcing charges, she pointed to previous prosecutions of former Trump Organization officials for a plot to avoid paying taxes on portions of the income and alleged that such corruption ran all the way to the organization's eponymous family.
Barr suggested that the inclusion of the former president's children betrayed the political nature of the charges, saying "this is his personal financial statement, prepared by the CFO. Accounting firms were involved in it... the children aren't going to know the details of that, nor are they expected in the real world to do their own due diligence and have it reviewed independently."
He further suggested the prosecution would backfire by stimulating public support for Trump.

Q: Finding square roots of quadratic residues in prime power field I know that in fields of cardinality $p$, $a$ is a quadratic residue if and only if $a^{\frac{p-1}{2}}=1$ (Euler's criterion). Therefore $a^{\frac{p+1}{2}}=a$ and if also $p=3\!\!\!\mod\! 4$ we can exhibit the square roots: $(a^{\frac{p+1}{4}})^2=a$.
Can we do something similar in fields of prime power cardinality (i.e., find square roots of elements with possibly a constraint on the cardinality)? I do not see how trying to do the same thing with the Legendre symbol helps.

This question was marked as a possible duplicate of Quadratic residues in finite field, however, I'm not asking whether an element is a quadratic residue, but assuming it is a quadratic residue, obtain its square roots.

A: Yes, we can. That criterion and the formula for the square root work because the multiplicative group of integers mod $p$ is cyclic (of order $p-1$). Well, the multiplicative group of the field of cardinality $p^k$ is cyclic as well (of order $p^k-1$).
Thus, for $p>2$, $a$ is a square in the field of order $p^k$ if and only if $a^{(p^k-1)/2}=1$ or equivalently $a^{(p^k+1)/2}=a$. For $p\equiv 3\mod 4$ and $k$ odd, we also have explicit square roots $\left(a^{(p^k+1)/4}\right)^2=a$.
What about $p=2$? In those fields, everything is a square, and the map $x\to x^2$ is a field automorphism.

Q: ubuntu 19.10 stuck on loading screen on acer aspire 5750 Does anyone know why Ubuntu 19.10 occasionally gets stuck on the loading screen? Ubuntu is installed as the only operating system on the laptop and the only modifications that were made to it is that I installed the Chromium web browser (snap) and GParted. I have also installed the latest updates via Software Updater.
Laptop specs:

*

*Acer Aspire 5750-6456

*Intel Core i5-2450M

*Intel HD graphics 3000

*4GB DDR3 RAM

*500GB HDD

Results of free -h :

SMART data:

A: Two things that happened to me:

*

*Replace the swap file, it's in the root.

Use these commands to do this:

swapon --show
sudo swapoff -a /swapfile
sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
swapon --show

I am happy to report that ubuntu has not frozen once since I did this.

*Dual boot issue between Windows and Ubuntu partitions:

When switching from ubuntu to Windows, a normal restart works.
When switching from Windows to ubuntu, only Shutdown and power on works.
Perhaps your disk once had a Windows partition on it? If so, find out if you can get rid of it, and it might help the grub program to sort things out.

A: Wayland
Disable Wayland problem on boot screen...
sudo -H gedit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf # edit this file
and change...
#WaylandEnable=false

to...
WaylandEnable=false

BIOS
Note: BEFORE updating the BIOS, backup all of your important files.
Note: Current version is 1.21. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/3474?b=1

Swap
For 4G RAM, your current 2G swap is too small. We need to enlarge it.
More details coming...

Bad Blocking
Your HDD has read errors and bad blocks. We need to bad block your hard disk.
    Note: do NOT abort a bad block scan!
    Note: do NOT bad block a SSD
    Note: backup your important files FIRST!
    Note: this may take a few hours
    Note: you may have a pending HDD failure
Boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB.
In terminal...
sudo fdisk -l # identify all "Linux Filesystem" partitions
sudo e2fsck -fcky /dev/sdXX # read-only test
or
sudo e2fsck -fccky /dev/sdXX # non-destructive read/write test (recommended)
The -k is important, because it saves the previous bad block table, and adds any new bad blocks to that table. Without -k, you loose all of the prior bad block information.
The -fccky parameter...
   -f    Force checking even if the file system seems clean.

   -c    This option causes e2fsck to use badblocks(8) program  to  do  a
         read-only  scan  of  the device in order to find any bad blocks.
         If any bad blocks are found, they are added  to  the  bad  block
         inode  to  prevent them from being allocated to a file or direc‐
         tory.  If this option is specified twice,  then  the  bad  block
         scan will be done using a non-destructive read-write test.

   -k    When combined with the -c option, any existing bad blocks in the
         bad blocks list are preserved, and any new bad blocks  found  by
         running  badblocks(8)  will  be added to the existing bad blocks
         list.

   -y    Assume  an answer of `yes' to all questions; allows e2fsck to be
         used non-interactively.  This option may not be specified at the
         same time as the -n or -p options.

2 MODERNISM POSTMODERNISM
Modern or modernism can imply at least three similar meanings. On the most general level, it can mean an innovation, novelty, that is something which is in contrast to the old and thus it expresses a certain belief in progress. The other, more specific meaning refers to the modern period understood, from the philosophical point of view, as connected to Enlightenment thinking, rationality and the period since the 18th century that started to emphasize reason as the means of objective exploration of reality that is closely connected with empiricism in philosophy (John Locke, Rene Descartes, David Hume). Last, but not least, the term modern, or modernism, is associated with the particular tendency in arts starting in the late 19th century (Symbolism, Impressionism) that emphasizes subjective experience, psychology and non-mimetic, non-realistic representation of reality as manifested in the works of avantgarde and other poetic tendencies (Dadaism, Futurism, Imagism, Vorticism, Poeticism, Cubism) and the works of mostly European (Franz Kafka, Robert Musil, Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, British Bloomsbury Group of authors, James Joyce) and American authors (T. S. Eliot, the Lost Generation and others). In difference from postmodernist vision of the world, modernism especially of the early 20th century and the post- WW I period (avantgarde movements such as Dadaism, Surrealism, Futurism, Poeticism, Imagism, the Bloomsbury Group, the Lost Generation authors), tried to present a literary work as a way out of the chaotic post- World War I reality, but also as a whole, however fragmented, creating a transcendental meaning. Modernism was also a reaction to traditional realistic depiction of reality and put an emphasis on a subjective experience. In difference from realism and mimetic representation techniques that tried to imitate reality, modernist literary works put the emphasis on subjective experience rather on a belief in a possibility of a literary work to express the objective meaning and truth. All this was stimulated by a new period of industrialism, new large scale production, especially in Great Britain and the USA, technological inventions (telephone, cars, film, aircrafts, electric bulb) as well as by the socio-historical events and atmosphere of the period. This period, especially of late 19th and early 20th century, was also connected with the above socio-economic and industrial changes that have required a new perception of the world. Industrial production and scientific inventions have stimulated not only technological progress, but also growing
alienation in the rapidly growing urban environments, but also skepticism associated with the misuse of technologies for massive killing during the World War I. However experimental and often fragmented, literary works and arts offered an artistic and aesthetic experience as an alternative to the chaotic and depressive reality. In difference from realistic literary works based on mimetic principle of imitation of the nature (reality), that is the works which presented the world as objective, knowable and imitable through language (of a literary work), experience and reason, the modernist literary works expressed a skeptical view on such a vision of reality and the ability of a literary work to give an objective, truthful and objective picture of reality. Rather than attempting to describe the outer, external and social reality and class conflict, modernist literary works focused on the inner life, psychology, mind and subjective experience of characters. It was associated not only with the general skepticism of the post- World War I period, but especially with a growing distrust of scientists, artists, philosophers and scholars in the ability of reason to grasp, understand and explain reality. The belief in reason, its ability to understand and explain the world and thus also master the nature was a typical feature of the Enlightenment period of the 18th century and its philosophers such as Rene Descartes (1596-1650) and John Locke as expressed in a typical Descartian statement: Cogito Ergo Sum I think, therefore I am (thinking and reason are the basic aspects of human personality and give a way to understanding of the world). The novel, especially the English realistic novel of the 18th century as represented by Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Tobias Smolett, and Samuel Richardson was a typical product of the Enlightenment and expressed, especially through the omniscient narrator who was in a God-like position knowing everything about the world, the rationalistic vision of the world. A growing distrust in rationality partly stemmed from the misuse of technology for massive killing of people during the World War I, and partly from the philosophic ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche and psychology of Sigmund Freud who expressed a skeptical view on a human being during the period of growing industrialism, commercialism and consumerism. Arthur Schopenhauer....., Friedrich Nietzsche has theorized mans will to power and unreliability of language to represent the world, Ludwig Wittgenstein was dealing with a philosophy of language and the unexpected meaning it produces through the language games, and Sigmund Freud understood human being as irrational rather rational being driven by unconscious forces, suppressed dreams and sexual desires. In Steven Connors view, in his Philosophical Investigations (1958), Wittgenstein understood language games as different modes of utterance corresponding to different social institutions, each following its 21
own set of rules (Connor 2004: 39), that is the idea expressing a meaning and dependence of a language on the particular context rather than creating meaning by a simple reference to the as-if pre-given object. Similarly, also another important philosopher who has influenced not only modernist, but also postmodernist thinking, especially in relation to the language and the representation of reality through it, was Martin Heidegger who also understood language as an unreliable medium of referring to reality and emphasized its power to create the unexpected and uncontrolled meanings. From the philosophical and aesthetic point of view, the emphasis of a modernist literary work is on the epistemological aspects and that of postmodernist ontological (Brian Mc Hale speaks about the epistemological and ontological dominants and he has overtaken the concept of the dominant from Roman Jakobsons theories (Mc Hale 1987). And Anton Pokrivk summarizes about a difference between Modernism and Postmodernism in the following way: The shift from modernism to postmodernism is understood as the shift within ontology from determinacy to indeterminacy of being, from transcendence to immanence, from symbol to allegory, from the world of ideology to the world of play[emphasis mine] (Pokrivk 1998:39), and this shift, in his view, can be also characterized as the substitution of a semantic way of making sense for a semiotic one [emphasis mine] (41). In their literary works, Modernist fiction writers of the early 20th century such as Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Edgar Morgan Forster, American Lost Generation authors (Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and others), in keeping with these ideas subjectivized human experience and put the emphasis on inner subjective experience as mostly expressed by a first person narrator and stream-of-consciousness narrative method, a term overtaken from psychological theories of William James, a brother of writer Henry James. Modernist writers thus subjectivized experience and, in their literary works, presented the idea that the world cannot be objectively known only subjectively perceived by human mind. This subjectivity manifested mostly itself, as it was mentioned above, in the first person narrative and the use of the stream-of-consciousness narrative method expressing the subjective perception of reality by human mind. In modernist literary works, chaotic reality manifested itself in authors use of non-chronological, fragmentary composition and in a depiction of the relationships between the characters. Fragmentary composition, the use of non-linear and non-chronological time expressed a new sensibility of the chaotic world and the alienation as
a product of modern era and life in the cities. Alienation manifests itself in the characters relationship to other characters, society, work, and the city that can finally lead to the feelings of nihilism. Alienation is also closely connected to skepticism which manifests itself in the characters attitudes to the society. Modernist literary work is often ironic and parodic, and irony and parody are used as a form critique both of realistic or romantic literary tradition and of the society. Modernist writers often use ancient myths that are transformed and recontextualized in a modern context and thus they become modern myths related to modernist cultural experience as expressed, for example, in James Joyces Ulyssess (1922). The cities became cultural, educational, industrial and economic centers of technologically advanced societies and life in the cities and suburbs one of the major themes of the modernist literary works. Typical statement of the modernists was Make it new! by Ezra Pound, an American poet in the early 20th century. Virginia Woolf, an English modernist author, argued that In or about December, 1910, human character changed (in Hoffmann, Hornung, Kunow 13). Both statements meant a belief that the society and its sensibility had changed in the early 20th century and, at the same time, a belief in the possibilities of new forms of arts that would reflect a new technological progress, sensibility but also skepticism and chaos of the modern age. Modernist literary works incorporated the techniques of new technologies, media and other forms of art to express this sensibility of a new period. For example, in his works, an American writer John Dos Passos was using a narrative method reminiscent of camera shooting (camera-eye technique) that gives a limited scope and picture of reality; John Dos Passos also incorporated cinematic newsreels in his novels to emphasize documentary picture of reality as presented in the movie theatres in contrast to plot in his novels such as Manhattan Transfer or The 42nd Parallel, and such authors as Stephen Crane used impressionistic artistic techniques as painters to emphasize visuality and the atmosphere (his novella the The Open Boat); also the title of Henry James novel The Portrait of a Lady is reminiscent of a picture rather than a literary work; the poets of the Harlem Renaissance in the USA (Langston Hughes) used the rhythms of traditional popular folk and oral cultures such as blues and jazz in their poetry. Within a literary work, we can speak about the mixture of genres as manifested itself, for example, in the literary works of James Joyce whose Ulyssess (1922) used a genre of a diary, myth, essay and other forms of writing and genres to point out the modernist sensibility.
Modernism can be characterized:
1) philosophically and aesthetically in the emphasis on the epistemology and semantic approach of a literary text (see Pokrivk 1998:41) a skeptical vision of the world and a distrust in the possibility of reason to understand and explain the world by a growing impact of technology (cars, airplanes, telephones, media such as radio, telephone, telegraph, film) on the life style and the human perception of the world a skeptical view on the use (misuse of technology) and power (the World War I) seeing a man as irrational rather rational being influenced by her/his suppressed and unfulfilled desires and dreams
2) in literature and arts these attitudes manifest themselves in: the subjectivized experience rendered mostly through the first person narrator, interior monologue, and especially stream-of-consciousness narrative method a depiction of characters who are mostly unbalanced, alienated and hesitating individuals searching for their identity and a sense of life in a depiction of urban setting as a site of new social experience and a producer of new relationships between people and between the individual and the society. The individual is mostly in opposition to the social structures and the society. in mostly unfinished, open ending through the authors leave a space for a reader to participate in a completion of a literary work in the use of fragmentation, elimination of the chronology of plot, open ending, and a mixture of different literary and non-literary genres and techniques typical of other 24
media and arts within a single literary work (essay, diary, letter, popular literary genres such as thriller, fantasy, detective, love story etc., the use of camera-eye techniques and newsreels that represent cinematic methods, techniques, and vision of reality, emphasis on the imagery of color as in painting) in the spatialization of time (J. Frank), its suspension to a single day or a moment like in James Joyces Ulysess (1922), a lengthy novel depicting a single day of a life of a young protagonist, or, similarly, like in Virginia Woolfs novel Mrs. Dalloway the use of irony and parody as the means of critical approach to both reality and past literary forms and genres reference to myths, classical and other mythology, literary and artistic work and the consequent transformation and re-writing their original meaning to emphasize a critical distance from the past and contemporary life in the emphasis on art as a way out of and alternative to the chaotic and uncertain world Examples of Modernist Fiction: Franz Kafka: The Castle A Trial Robert Musil: Man Without Qualities Thomas Mann: Death in Venice Marcel Proust: Joseph Conrad: Lord Jim Heart of Darkness D. H. Lawrence: Sons and Lovers; James Joyce: The Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man

Y-chromosomal haplogroup G1 is a minor component of the overall gene pool of South-West and Central Asia but reaches up to 80% frequency in some populations scattered within this area. We have genotyped the G1-defining marker M285 in 27 Eurasian populations (n= 5,346), analyzed 367 M285-positive samples using 17 Y-STRs, and sequenced ∼11 Mb of the Y-chromosome in 20 of these samples to an average coverage of 67X. This allowed detailed phylogenetic reconstruction. We identified five branches, all with high geographical specificity: G1-L1323 in Kazakhs, the closely related G1-GG1 in Mongols, G1-GG265 in Armenians and its distant brother clade G1-GG162 in Bashkirs, and G1-GG362 in West Indians. The haplotype diversity, which decreased from West Iran to Central Asia, allows us to hypothesize that this rare haplogroup could have been carried by the expansion of Iranic speakers northwards to the Eurasian steppe and via founder effects became a predominant genetic component of some populations, including the Argyn tribe of the Kazakhs. The remarkable agreement between genetic and genealogical trees of Argyns allowed us to calibrate the molecular clock using a historical date (1405 AD) of the most recent common genealogical ancestor. The mutation rate for Y-chromosomal sequence data obtained was 0.78×10-9 per bp per year, falling within the range of published rates. The mutation rate for Y-chromosomal STRs was 0.0022 per locus per generation, very close to the so-called genealogical rate. The "clan-based" approach to estimating the mutation rate provides a third, middle way between direct farther-to-son comparisons and using archeologically known migrations, whose dates are subject to revision and of uncertain relationship to genetic events.

Following the confusion that his spoofing account has caused, the real prime minister Hatoyama finally appeared on Twitter[J] on the New Year's Day of 2010.
A happy new year to all citizens. I hope you keep in touch with us this year as well. Today I just started Twitter and launched a blog titled Hatocafe[J]. Please drop me a tweet with @hatoyamayukio as a recipient if any comment. I try to post at least a message a day until I get used to do.
As of noon on January 1st, 2010, he follows 983 users and is followed by 6,780 users.
Hatocafe is his official blog and maintained by the cabinet office. Its first post shows you a snap shot of the blue sunny sky taken in front of the cabinet office building in this year's first morning.
Meanwhile, as Akky reported here on Asiajin, Hatoyama Administration is planning to set up a website called ハトミミ(hatomimi).com for collecting the citizen's requests and opinions directly, but they learned that the domain name had been taken away by the third party, and the blogosphere points out such a ill-prepared arrangement.
According to Japan's National Information Security Center, governmental entities are ordered to use .go.jp domains for setting up their websites, for preventing users from possible phishing access to spoofing government-related websites. Now when we look at ハトミミ(hatomimi).com, it shows us anti-administration messages that someone has posted.
