Sheikh Jeelani; Epitome of Ideal Islamic Propagation
Companions of Allah's Messenger, Tabi's and later spiritual scholars were appointed to protect and circulate Islamic Sharia in the length and breadth of the world after the demise of Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The lifetime of Allah's Messenger was regarded as a milestone in the records of Islamic history for the brightness of faith spread highly, shining with flying colours all along the world. With the passing of Khairul-Qurun(better centuries) which included the Khulafa'u Rashideen and other Imamsmams, the radiant Islamic glory began to fade little by little.
It was at that time, Sheikh Jeelani who is still alive in the minds of thousands came to the world at Allah's beck and call on the mission of transplanting the germinating seeds of ignorances and anarchies from the crust of the world for ages and sowing the seeds of virtues at every nook and corner of the world when the conditions and situations of Jahiliyya(ignorance) began to spread its rays in 400AH. According to an authentic narration, Sheikh Jeelani, guiding light of the spiritual world was born in a place called Neef near Jeelan in 470 AH. He was the son of Abu Salih- Fathima couple, and one of his many titles is 'Al-Hasani wal Husseini' because he was blessed with a direct lineage to the Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through his father Sheikh Abu Saleh Moosa (Allah be pleased with him) who was a direct descendant of Hassan (Allah be pleased with him). He was a very pious and humble person as well as a master in the tactics of Jihad and it was due to this that he was given the title of "Jangi Dost". Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) was also blessed with a direct lineage to Allah's Messenger through his mother Sayyida Bibi Ummul Khair Fatima (Allah be pleased with her) who was a direct descendant of Imam Hussein (Allah be pleased with him). She was also a very pious person. Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) was not like other children who spent their time in play and amusement. From a tender age, he spent his time in remembrance of Almighty Allah. If he at any time ever intended to join the other children, then a Voice from the Unseen would be heard to say, "Come towards Me, O blessed one." At first, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) would become afraid when he heard this voice. He would go to his mother and sit on her lap. As time passed, he became accustomed to this voice. Instead of going to his mother, he would abandon the thought of playing and occupy himself in the remembrance of Almighty Allah.
Almighty Allah gave glad tidings to his parents in their dream that she would give birth to a child whose reputations would be spread all over the world and he would be Sulthanul-Awliya. Even from his childhood, a plethora of extraordinary incidents was taken place. During the holy month of Ramadan, news had spread that the infant refused to take milk from dawn until sunset, thereby implying that the newborn child was observing the fast. During the following year, when the moon could not be sighted due to heavy clouds, the people decided to observe Ramadan based on whether Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) had accepted milk during the Ramzan. If we turn the records of historical events, several miracles in connection with his birth and later life can be found. Actually, On the eve of his birth, approximately eleven hundred infants were given birth in Jilan and every one of them reached the peak of spirituality and later on became Wali of Allah.
Sheikh Jeelani, who set out to imbibe the sweetness of knowledge at the early age of 18, learnt the science of jurisprudence and its basic form renowned great scholars such as Abu Sandal Muharram, Ibn Akhil, Abul Khattab, Abul Husain Farra' and Abubakkari Thibrees etc. At that time, he conquered the different levels of literature and amassed a large collection of verses of Hadiths from various credible Muhaddiths. After completing his education, Jilani left Baghdad. He spent twenty-five years wandering in the deserts of Iraq. While studying in Baghdad, he faced many hardships and was tested severely by the life of Baghdad. Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) himself used to say:
"The hardship and difficulties that I faced in Baghdad during my studies were so severe that if they had to be placed on a mountain, then even the mountain would split in two."
His contributions, as well as devotions in the service of propagation of Islam, still shine the light of faith in the minds of people of different walks of life. Although modernity keeps people in much rush, it's certain that, as far as a true believer is concerned, he will be willing to devote his time to it. It's because he is such a glorious and important personality in the long history of Islam. With each passing stage of life, Sheikh Jeelani continued on his way to the realm of the spiritual world. The decay and crack of time did not affect his spiritual life at all. Sowing the seeds of virtues and uprooting the foundation of evil prevalent in those days, he paved a new way of spirituality which one can experience to his heart's content.
From an early age, Sheikh Jeelani flew high to the zenith of spirituality and soon after the preliminary study of all Islamic practices and creeds, he returned to live in the direction of attaining the pearls of the ocean of knowledge on the shore of great Verse of Allah. To focus only on Qur'an with the utmost caution, he put aside all other works and studies. Abstaining from the momentarily material luxurious as well as its pleasures, at length he reached close quarters of well-known spiritual scholars who were flying in the spiritual world. The strong roots of faith in Allah were sinking into the depth of the inner part of his heart. His faith was such that even Colossus couldn't pull down it and it was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed by time, calamity or other factors. By his ability, within the shortest period, he explored through the depth of the ocean of knowledge in the verse of Allah. He was appreciated and valued as a great saint by the folks of his time. He sought Sufi guidance from Abu'l-Khair Hammad ibn Muslim al-Dabbas (Allah be pleased with him). He tells us to listen to our heart and shun our ego for it prompts us to claim hopeless proclamations and avowals to find the splendour and beauty of this world. There is a need for the understanding of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani's (Allah be pleased with him) moral way of life for he is not only the person who advocated moral values but practised them in letter and spirit by way of his sternness in practising Islam and its pillars and canons. He is one of the top Sufi saints of all times to come. His notions are closer to the Sunnah, and by and large, are based on the Qur'an with a special reference to endeavours of the heart or religiousness. He directs us to ask our creator for a doctor who can treat the diseases, infections, and bugs of our hearts. Consequently, the crux of his religious philosophy is the purity of heart. And if we succeed in purifying our heart we may succeed here and hereafter. Therefore, there should be a paradigm shift from material purity to inner purity. This approach is necessary for becoming a pious Muslim.
According to him, he was appointed as a ruler of the spiritual world of a time. Sheikh Jilani, the Sultan of the spiritual world, ruled over the minds of his rank and file while all other rulers but he ruled over based on material power. His advice was not to their ears but the innermost of their heart and each of their movement was according to his direction. This method of his ruling by penetrating deep into their minds caused the over-flow of the people to the beautiful boundary of Islam. Thereby, he could activate the dormant Islam, lend those who stand on the brinks of devastation a helping hand and shed the light of truth on those who live at the bottom of utter immorality and superstition. In the long run, he could earn the title of Muhyudheen which means one who revived Islam the moment when it's light was fading gradually, as well as customs, were dying out from the surface of the world once and for all. Sheikh Abdul Khadir Jeelani (Allah well pleased with him) was so renowned among the world due to his mesmeric mystic language which influences every section, disregarding the economic, social and religious inequalities. In a single day, nearly 70,000 students attended his class. Nearly a hundred thousand people sought forgiveness from God by hearing his speech. In each year three thousand people expelled themselves from him as the propagators of Islam. More than a hundred thousand people explored as the propagators of Islam. It is well known that the lectures of Al-Ghawth Al-A'zam (Allah be pleased with him) attracted scores of scholars to Baghdad from all over the world. Once, a hundred Jurists formed a group and each one chose a difficult question. They all decided to present themselves in the gathering of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) and each would ask his question during the lecture in an attempt to cause Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) to be confused. The one hundred Jurists chose what they thought to be the most difficult question and travelled to Baghdad. They sat in the gathering of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah be pleased with him) waiting for the appropriate time to ask their questions. It was during this gathering that a bright ray of light emerged from the blessed chest of Al-Ghawth Al-A'zam (Allah be pleased with him) and travelled into the heart of each of the one hundred Jurists. This light could only be seen by them and to those whom Almighty Allah desired to see. As this light entered their hearts, each one of them entered a state of spiritual ecstasy. Each one of them fell at the feet of Al-Ghawth Al-A'zam (Allah be pleased with him) and repented from their improper intentions. The great Saint, with great compassion, embraced each one of them, filling their hearts with Noor, and at the same time answering every one of their questions, even though they had not asked.
He contributed major writings such as Yavaqeethul Hikm, Maratheebul Vujood, Thuhfa, Arrissalathul-Gousiyya and Al- Gunnyath etc. It surely convinces the depth of his knowledge if we go over each of his writing. That is why he was eligible to give a legal opinion (Fathwa) in Shafi and Hanafi Madhabs. Moreover, he could interpret a single verse of the Holy Quran with distinguished forty explanations. Sheikh Jeelani (Allah be pleased with him)passed away in 561 AH at the age of ninety-one. His funeral prayer was led by Sayyid Saifudheen Abbas(Allah be pleased with him) and was attended by countless people. It has been reported that the public coming from different walks of life was given a chance to perform Janaza Namaz near his grave. He was buried on the porch of Madrassa in Bagdad's Babul Azaj and that place always remains crowded with the over-flow of people of different sections of society day in and day out in quest of his benedictions.

The Bride (Lairds' Fiancees #1) - Page 18/45
What a trusting nature she had. He knew she'd awakened, yet she didn't open her eyes. When he lifted her up against his bare chest, she put her arms around his neck, nuzzled up against him, and let out a soft sigh.
He carried her back to their camp, wrapped his plaid around both of them, and stretched out on the ground. Jamie was completely covered from the brisk mountain air, covered from head to toe by the blanket and her husband.
Her mouth was just a few inches away from his own.
"Alec?" she asked, her voice a sleepy whisper.
"Yes?"
"Are you angry with me?"
"You're certain?"
She wished she could see his face. His hold was like iron, though, and she could barely move at all .
"I'm certain."
"I'm so tired tonight. It was a hard day's ride, wasn't it?"
He hadn't thought so, but he decided to agree anyway. "Aye, it was."
"Alec? I'd like to ask you something." Jamie scooted upward, then let out a loud groan when his hands moved to her backside and he forced her against him. His thighs were harder than the ground.
He knew she didn't have any idea what her little motions were doing to him. Alec closed his eyes in reaction. She was too tired and obviously too sore to be attacked by her husband. He would have to wait, he told himself. It was the only decent thing to do.
It was going to be his most difficult chal enge.
"Alec, please move your hands. You're hurting me."
"Go to sleep, wife. You need your rest." His voice sounded ragged.
She arched against him. Alec gritted his teeth.
"My backside is sore."
He could hear the blush in her soft confession. Her gasp wasn't soft, though; it was loud and full of outrage when he began to rub the stiffness out of her muscles. He ignored both her struggles and her groans.
"Your education has been sorely neglected," Alec told her. " 'Tis the truth you're the most unskil ed woman I've ever known. What think you of that, wife?"
"I think you believe I'm about to cry, husband," Jamie answered. "I know my voice trembled when I told you I was sore. And you're a man who hates a weeping woman, aren't you? Oh, don't be denying it, husband. I saw the way you watched my sisters when they were carrying on so. You looked most ill at ease."
"Yes, it's true," Alec admitted.
"And so, to prevent my weeping all over you, you insult me to prick my temper. You've guessed I have a temper and you'd rather have me shouting at you than crying."
"You're learning my ways, Jamie."
"I told you I would," Jamie boasted. "But you've stil to learn mine."
"I have no need to—"
"Oh, yes, you do," she argued. "You confuse inexperienced with unskil ed, Alec. What if I told you I could shoot an arrow better than any of your warriors? Or that I could probably outride them—bareback, of course. Or that I could—"
"I'd say you were jesting with me. You can barely hold on to the saddle, wife."
"You've already made up your mind about me, then?"
He ignored that question and asked one of his own. "What is it you wanted to ask me? Something has you worried, doesn't it?"
"I'm not worrying."
"Tel me."
He wasn't going to let her change her mind. "I merely wondered if you were going to give me similar instructions when we reach your holding and your men."
"What instructions?" he interrupted. He didn't have any idea what she was talking about.
"I know you're ashamed of me, Alec, but I don't think I shal be able to keep silent all the time. I'm used to speaking quite freely, and I really don't—"
"You think I'm ashamed of you?"
He actually sounded surprised. Jamie turned in his arms. She pushed the blanket aside and looked into his face. Even in the moonlight, she could see his astonishment.
She wasn't believing it for a minute. "You needn't pretend ignorance with me, Alec Kincaid. I know the truth. A woman would have to be daft not to know why you wouldn't let me speak to your all ies. You think I'm ugly. And English."
"You are English," he reminded her.
"And pleased that I am, husband. Do you know how shal ow a man is to judge a woman solely by her appearance?"
His laughter stopped her lecture. "Your rudeness is worse than my appearance," she muttered.
"And you, wife, are the most opinionated woman I've ever encountered."
"'Tis nothing compared to your sins," Jamie answered. "You're as riddled as an old shield."
"You aren't ugly."
Alec could tel by the way she continued to frown up at him that she didn't believe him. "When did you come to this conclusion?"
"I've already explained," Jamie answered. " 'Twas when you wouldn't let me take my gaze off you, when you didn't introduce me to your friends, when you wouldn't let me speak a thought of my own. That's when I came to my conclusion. Make no mistake, Alec," she rushed on when he seemed about to laugh again, "I don't care if you think I'm pretty or not."
He captured her chin and held it steady. "If you'd stared at one man longer than another, by chance or want, he would have concluded you were fair for the taking. The Kerrys can't be trusted, at least not by my measure. They would have chal enged me for you. 'Tis simple enough to understand, even for you, English. Some would perhaps have thought your violet eyes were magical; others might have wanted to touch your hair to see if it felt as silky as it looks. all certainly would have wanted to touch you."
"They would?"
Her eyes had widened in amazement during his explanation. Alec realized she had absolutely no understanding of her own appeal.
"I think you exaggerate, Alec. Those men wouldn't have wanted to touch me."
She was pleading for a compliment. He decided to give it to her. "They would. I didn't want to chance a fight because I know how the sight of blood distresses you."
Jamie was stunned by his casual y spoken explanation. Had he just complimented her? Were her eyes magical to him?
"What has you frowning now?"
"I was wondering if you… that is…" She let out a sigh, nudged his hand away from her chin, and rested her face against his warm shoulder again.
"Then you don't think I'm ugly."
"I don't."
"I never thought you did," she admitted, a smile in her voice. " 'Tis good to know you don't find me unappealing."
"I didn't say that."
Jamie decided he was jesting with her again. "I never said you weren't ugly," she said. "Perhaps I think you are."
He laughed again, a rich, full sound that made her smile all the more. Was it possible she was actually beginning to get used to him?
Alec brushed her hair away from her forehead. "Your face was burned by the sun today. Your nose is as red as fire. I don't find you at all appealing."
"You don't?" She looked startled.
Alec let her see his exasperation. "I was jesting."
"I knew you were," she said, smiling again.
She yawned, reminding him of how exhausted she was.
"Go to sleep, Jamie."
The tender way he was stroking her back took the bark out of his command. When he started to rub the stiffness out of her shoulders, she closed her eyes and let out a loud, lusty sigh. The palm of her hand rested on his chest. She could feel his heart beating under her fingertips. Almost absentmindedly, she began to stroke a circle around the nipple hidden beneath his chest hair. She liked the feel of him. His wonderful scent reminded her of the outdoors. It was so clean, so earthy.
Alec suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and flattened it against his chest. She guessed he was ticklish.
He guessed she was trying to drive him out of his mind. "Stop that," he ordered, his voice as gritty as sand.
Jamie didn't remember fal ing asleep, but she remembered waking up, all right. She was having the most delicious dream. She was sleeping on a bed of wildflowers, completely unclothed. She was letting the sun warm her skin into a fever. The erotic heat made her forget to breathe. That familiar pressure was beginning to build up inside her, and that excruciating ache between her thighs was demanding to be appeased.
Her moan of desire woke her up. It hadn't been a dream at all . Her mind had been playing tricks on her.
Alec was the sun, fueling the fever in her blood. She wasn't surrounded by wildflowers, either; she was stretched out on Alec's soft plaid. She had lost her chemise, though. She wondered how that could have happened, then put the negligent worry aside. Alec kept insisting on her attention. He was nuzzling the side of her neck. He rested between her parted thighs.
He was making love to her. Her sleepy confusion suddenly vanished. She was wide awake now. She couldn't see him, the darkness was too heavy, but his ragged breathing, added to the sweet music of the insistent wind, pushed most of her resistance away. She didn't want it to hurt again, thought to tel him just that, but his mouth moved to her breast just as his hand slid into the soft curls between her thighs. She didn't care then if it hurt or not.
His fingers were magical. He knew just where to touch her to make her wild, wet. She tensed against him when his fingers pushed aside the soft, slick folds and moved up inside her. The blissful agony made her cry out for release.
She pul ed on his hair to get him to stop. Her mind was quickly changed when his thumb began to stroke the sensitive nub and his fingers thrust back inside her.
Her nails sank into his shoulders again. He grunted in reaction. Jamie was desperate to touch him, to give him the kind of pleasure he was giving her. She tried to move away, but Alec wouldn't let her.
They kissed, a hot, open-mouthed, ravenous kiss. He gave her his tongue. She sucked on it.
"You're so wet," he told her.
"I can't help it," she whispered on a half-groan.
His hands spread her thighs wide, and he slowly began to penetrate her. "I don't want you to help it."
"You don't?" she asked, trying to pul him inside her. He was making her daft, easing so slowly inside.
She knew she was going to die, but she wanted him fil ing her, burning her, first.
"It means you're hot for me," he murmured. "Don't move like that. Let me…"
"This isn't the time for jests, Alec!"
He would have laughed if he'd had the strength. "I'm trying to be gentle," he told her. "But you're so tight, I…"
She arched against him. Alec forgot all about being gentle then. He pul ed her legs high about his waist, twisted her hair around his hands to keep her from moving away from him, and drove inside her with one powerful surge.
He was so out of control he didn't know if he was hurting her or not. He couldn't stop. His mouth trapped any protests she might have tried to make, and when he knew he couldn't hold back any longer, when he felt his seed about to pour into her, he reached down between their bodies and stroked her into joining him.
Her legs were surprisingly strong. She squeezed him between her thighs, inside, forcing his immediate release.
He col apsed on top of her. It took him long minutes before he could regain enough strength to look at her. His first thought, when he could catch hold of one, was that he'd misused her. "Jamie? Did I hurt you? Was I too rough with you?" he whispered.
She didn't answer. Alec leaned up on his elbows to look down on her, his worry obvious in his gaze.
She was sound asleep. Alec didn't know what to make of that. He realized his fingers were tangled in her hair, and slowly, with patience he found surprising, he separated the curls. He took his time smoothing her hair away from her cheeks.
He knew he'd satisfied her. Lady Kincaid was in deep slumber, aye, but she'd fal en asleep with a smile on her face.
The next day proved to be the most difficult for Jamie. It was such beautiful, untamed land they journeyed over, with lochs the wind nudged ripples into, and open moorland expanses covered with grass the color of bright emeralds. There were stark ridges, too. Some of the hil y terrain was thick with green foliage called wild leek, which gave off a most peculiar stench when trodden upon. The grandeur of the Highlands made Jamie think she was slowly climbing up to heaven.
By noon the scenery had lost its appeal. There was a noticeable bite in the air that gained in intensity with each passing hour. Jamie hugged her winter cloak. She was so sleepy she almost fel off her mount. Alec was suddenly by her side. He lifted her onto his stal ion. Jamie didn't resist, even when he jerked her cloak away and tossed it to the ground. He wrapped his heavy plaid around her and held her against him.
She let out a loud yawn, then asked, "Why did you throw my cape away, Alec?"
"You'l wear my colors to keep warm, Jamie."
He couldn't resist brushing his mouth against the top of her head. He was beginning to think his wife was the most amazing creature. She could fall asleep within the blink of an eye.
He liked the feel of her against him, her womanly scent as well , and in the back of his mind was the realization that she trusted him completely. He liked that most of all .
He hadn't mentioned last night's passionate lovemaking to her. Her blush in the morning light had told him she didn't want him to bring that topic up.
Her shyness amused him.
His wife wasn't very strong, though. She didn't know her own body's limitations, either. Alec had recognized her exhaustion immediately. For that reason, he'd set a much slower pace.
She was sleeping soundly; he had to nudge her awake several times before getting any kind of response.
"Jamie, wake up. We're home," he repeated for the third time. "We're home?" she asked, sounding confused. Alec patiently dodged her elbows while she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Do you always have such trouble waking after a nap?" he asked.
"I don't know," Jamie answered. "I've never taken a nap before."
She missed his frown when she turned to look around. "The only thing I'm seeing are trees, Alec. Did you wake me just to jest with me?"
In answer, Alec tilted her chin and pointed. "There, wife. Above the next ridge. You can see the smoke from my hearth."
She did see the stream of smoke curling up into the clouds, and a glimpse of his tower when he nudged his mount farther up the steep slope.

Another day of bolting things to it - front lights, orange wheels, bed, back lights have been put on, bonnet, sump guard, etc.
The lights are all very cool. The doors will be painted soon.
The weight of the back bed helps things. The lights and all the detailing are fantastic, mudguards and suchforth. The back no longer looks an afterthought, and the orange flasher is great.
The bed is attached fairly sympathetically, and _should_ twist with the chassis. It'll never get enough weight on for a real workout.
The interior is much better now as well, having all the doghouse covers on makes it much quieter, we also have the steering direction indicator now.
I'm waiting for a proof of age certificate from Ma Benz, then it's time for an MOT.
Me? Get the mog stuck? In Mud? And bend the door?
Trying to get the very most out of the farm, I tried a new, erm, slant on things. The back wheels just slid down a banking, and it got to resting on the door!!!
We took the windscreen off, put some gravel under the wheels and booted it. Which worked, except I broke one of the brand new back light lenses!
How many of these bits start with "just a few more bits". Well, we've put the crane on so it matches its registration documents, and got the mother of all door mirrors.
It's good to have a crane, we're just short of things to lift.
We're also a bit bored with the farm, and have taken to driving round looking for new challenges.
We found one, but even though there was a metre of vertical mud, the mog didn't really notice. Didn't even have to lock the diffs. We've also been driving round in 2wd much more since having the back bed and crane on. The weight actually gives it some traction.
Can't wait to get it off road. There's a nice video (5mb mpg) of derek driving back down. Check the levely noise it makes.


Package prices vary considerably between hospitals and over a period of time and, therefore, if you would like to know the cost of a procedure I will be able to give you an up to date and accurate cost for you but fees published on this website will go out of date very quickly.
Not all hospitals are licensed for surgery on children but I am registered at two major London private hospitals which provide this necessary service.
All invoices are due for payment on the date of consultation/treatment and must be settled in full within 28 days unless agreed otherwise.
We do offer interest free payment options in special cases and this should be requested via my secretary, Carla Woodcock.
Please note that any invoices that are referred to our Debt Collection Agency will have all incurred fees added. All outstanding invoices that are not successfully settled will lead to court action.

Jackie Bedard's estate and long term care planning practice is focused on guiding clients through the complicated, often confusing, maze of balancing family protection, long-term care planning, wealth preservation, and cherished family values in the planning process.
Jackie determined early on that traditional estate planning has primarily focused on what happens upon death, but a far more pressing concern for many families today is—what happens if you don't die suddenly, but instead need long term care for several months or years? A comprehensive estate and long term care plan should address both of these concerns.

At its August 8, 2018, meeting, the Commission voted that effective January 1, 2019, all Home Inspector License applicants must successfully complete the SC Business Management and Law Exam to be issued a license.
The South Carolina Residential Builders Commission ("Commission") would like to bring to your attention a recent amendment to its regulation, S.C. Reg. 106-1, effective May 25, 2018.
Under this amendment, "solar panel installers" has been added as a classification for residential specialty contractors. Please note that while a person holding a residential specialty contractor registration for "solar panel installer" is authorized to fabricate, assemble, install, and replace solar panels and related building components, the actual roof mounting of such panels may only be performed by a licensed residential builder, registered residential specialty contractor with a roofer classification, or a licensed general contractor with a general roofing or specialty roofing classification. Likewise, the wiring of the solar panels and other electrical connections must be performed by a licensed residential builder, a licensed residential electrician, or a licensed mechanical contractor with an electrical classification. Finally, if the roof requires any structural upgrades for the mounting and installation of the solar panels, the structural upgrades must be performed by a licensed residential builder, a registered residential specialty contractor with a classification in carpentry, or a licensed general contractor with building or structural framing classifications.
The Commission hopes that this regulation change clarifies any issues that building code departments may have had or are experiencing with solar panel installations, as well as assists the code officials in identifying appropriate permitting requirements for projects involving solar panels.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Commission with any questions you may have concerning this regulatory amendment.
LLR's Janet Baumberger has been appointed President of the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA).
Baumberger began working at LLR in 2002 and has been the Administrator for the Residential Builders Commission since 2011.

As a result of the additional questions, applicants will now be allotted 360 minutes, rather than 240 minutes, to complete the exam. These changes to the Residential Builders exam will take effect on September 1, 2016.
At a recent meeting, the Residential Builders Commission adopted The Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Please click on http://www.ashi.org/documents/pdf/standards.pdf for the current ASHI standards.

November 6, 1910 – December 25, 2007
Bill W. Teague, 97, of Caldwell, went to his eternal joy and peace in the early hours of December 25, 2007, at St. Joseph's Manor in Caldwell. Services are set for 2 p.m. Saturday, December 29 at Strickland Funeral Home in Caldwell with burial following at Masonic Cemetery in Caldwell. A fellowship will follow the graveside services at Harmony Baptist Church, located on Hwy 36 S in Harmony, Texas.
Bill, born in Caldwell to Benjamin Ransom Teague and Ellen Broaddus, was proud of his heritage, the Teague ancestors having arrived in North America in the 1650s. His father was once a Burleson County interim sheriff, and his mother who passed away when Bill was seven years old, was the granddaughter of Andrew S. Broaddus, originally from Virginia and later a Texas legislator who served on the committee to locate the property for Texas A&M University.
Bill served in the Texas National Guard from 1933 until 1939 while working in a café in Caldwell. He moved to Houston, TX with his family during World War II where he worked at Brown Ship Building Company on the Houston Ship Channel. After the war, he was employed by Shell Chemical in Deer Park, TX, where he worked in plant maintenance for approximately 30 years, retiring in 1975 to the farm in Caldwell.
In October, 2000 after a short illness and with limited vision, he decided on his own to become a resident of St Joseph Manor. He fell in love with the staff, fellow residents, the facilities, food, care and conditions. He often told others how much he was satisfied with his life and how much he enjoyed his friends and local guests on dance days and the programs provided for entertainment. Bill has journeyed to a new Kingdom Mansion in our Lord and Savior's presence to be completely filled with total joy through out eternity.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Ethel Haddox Teague, in July 1993.

After 36-Day Student Occupation, University of California at Davis Chancellor Is Put on Leave | Democracy Now!
fourth-year student at UC Davis studying women and gender studies, Middle East and South Asian studies. She was part of the 36-day sustained sit-in of the fifth floor of Mrak Hall, where Chancellor Linda Katehi's office is.
fifth-year environmental science and management student at UC Davis.
This week, University of California President Janet Napolitano placed the chancellor of University of California, Davis, Linda Katehi, on investigatory administrative leave, pending an investigation into a number of infractions, including her decision to spend at least $175,000 to try to scrub the internet of criticism following the 2011 pepper-spraying of student protesters by campus police. The school made national headlines after the video showing police spraying seated students directly in the face at close range went viral. Earlier this spring, students at the University of California, Davis, occupied the office of Chancellor Katehi and staged a 36-day sit-in calling for her resignation, to protest her handling of student protests and allegations of conflicts of interest. Democracy Now! recently spoke with Parisa Esfahani and Kyla Burke, two of the students who took part in the sit-in.
AMY GOODMAN: We are on the road in Tucson, Arizona, as part of our 100-city 20th anniversary tour. We begin today's show looking at student protests here in Arizona and in California. Earlier this spring, students at the University of California, Davis, occupied the office of school chancellor Linda Katehi for five weeks, calling for her resignation over her mishandling of student protests and allegations of conflicts of interest. Well, this week the students won a victory of sorts, as the University of California President Janet Napolitano placed Katehi on administrative leave, pending an investigation into a number of infractions, including allegations of nepotism and her decision to spend at least $175,000 to try to scrub the internet of criticism following the 2011 pepper-spraying of student protesters by campus police. The school made national headlines after this video showed police spraying students directly in the face at point-blank range.
PROTESTERS: Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students! Don't shoot students!
AMY GOODMAN: In 2012, the University of California reached a $1 million settlement with 21 protesters who were pepper-sprayed. Earlier this month, The Sacramento Bee reported that the UC Davis, University of California, Davis, paid consultants $175,000 to improve its online image, in part by scrubbing negative search results related to the pepper-spray incident. That news came to light while students were occupying the office of Linda Katehi. Well, I was recently on the campus of UC Davis, on this 100-city tour, and spoke to two of the students involved in the five-week sit-in.
PARISA ESFAHANI: My name is Parisa Esfahani. I'm a fourth-year at UC Davis studying women and gender studies, Middle East and South Asian studies. I was a part of the 36-day sustained sit-in of the fifth floor of Mrak Hall, where the chancellor's office is. We left on Friday. I was there because there are serious concerns that not just us that sustained that sit-in, but many students have, but never feel empowered to voice on our campus. We pay a hefty tuition to be at this school. We are supposed to be the voices and the faces of the university. It's an institution of education, but it's become an institution of money making and lack of accountability. And we want our voices to be on the front. And it's become—oh, we're tired. We're tired of like wondering why that's not happening, and we're tired of the normalization of the privatization of the university, and we're tired of the kind of campaign that the university runs.
PROTESTERS: Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Linda Katehi's got to go! Hey, hey!
KYLA BURKE: My name is Kyla Burke. I'm a fifth-year environmental science and management student at UC Davis. We were calling for the resignation of Katehi and for the process to be changed and democratized so students and workers have an active say in who runs their university. We're calling Katehi to resign for—there's a lot of reasons. Recently, there were the three moonlighting scandals that came out, with her working for DeVry and Wiley & Sons textbook and King Abdulaziz University, which all, for different reasons, represent conflict of interest or unethical decisions to work for them. But it's not only that. There's a long history of Katehi messing up, going back to 2011 and the pepper-spray incident. Personally, I thought she should have resigned then. But since then, as a student here, I've just watched a pattern of administration messing up and not being held accountable. And we wanted to change that and to be involved.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the latest issue that was uncovered by The Sacramento Bee?
KYLA BURKE: Yeah. So the latest—the latest issue that The Sacramento Bee discovered was that the university had spent $175,000 to try and wipe references to the pepper spray and to Katehi off the internet. And it really shows how concerned—what their concerns are, with like protecting administration and maintaining good PR, and not actually holding anyone accountable or making the changes, after that kind of incident, they should have.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you explain what happened in November of 2011?
KYLA BURKE: Yeah. In November of 2011, students were peacefully protesting tuition hikes in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. And they were in the Quad, and the university decided they wanted to remove them. And so, Officer Pike pepper-sprayed students at point-blank range.
AMY GOODMAN: This was the Davis police officer.
KYLA BURKE: A Davis—UC Davis police officer, I believe.
AMY GOODMAN: What happened to Officer Pike?
AMY GOODMAN: How much did the students get?
PARISA ESFAHANI: Somewhere between $11,000—like $20,000 each.
KYLA BURKE: And he got $38,000.
PARISA ESFAHANI: Was that it?
AMY GOODMAN: And is he there any longer?
KYLA BURKE: No, he no longer works for the school.
AMY GOODMAN: Why did you end the sit-in at the administration offices?
KYLA BURKE: So, we had been in the sit-in for five weeks, and we had reached the point where we thought it was time to do something new. We had done a lot by that point. It had—it was like an in-depth activist training. Everyone who was in there, we created a community and solidarity, and learned a lot about like how to organize and how to work together. And we had brought a lot of national attention. I doubt The Sacramento Bee would have been putting in those records requests and finding out that information, if there wasn't a 36-day sit-in going on to bring that kind of media attention in. So we thought it was a good point to leave and to try something different and to continue our protest in new ways. We didn't—we don't see it so much as an end as the beginning of a new phase.
PARISA ESFAHANI: And now we need to build our relationship to the rest of the student body, because there's still—most students don't know what's happening. They didn't know that we were in Mrak for five weeks.
PARISA ESFAHANI: But our numbers—like, those were people that showed up physically in the space. But on Facebook, for example, on social media, there were like over a thousand students from Davis who were in support of us.
AMY GOODMAN: Explain this first issue of the conflict of interest.
KYLA BURKE: Yeah, so, there are three like conflict of interests or unethical moonlighting positions that Katehi had. The first was with DeVry University, which she broke policy by taking it. She didn't get the approval that she was required to.
AMY GOODMAN: And what was that position?
PARISA ESFAHANI: Just on the board.
KYLA BURKE: On the board of DeVry University, which, additionally, DeVry University is being investigated by the federal government for like unethical practices and essentially lying to their students.
AMY GOODMAN: This a for-profit university?
KYLA BURKE: A for-profit university. And so, there was that. So it's like taking—making the choice to be involved with that company that's being investigated for like unethical practices, for how it treats its students. And additionally, like, she broke the policy and didn't do what she was supposed to do and just did what she wanted to. And then there was Wiley & Sons textbook, which is a fairly obvious conflict of interest.
AMY GOODMAN: What did she do?
PARISA ESFAHANI: They're all board positions.
PARISA ESFAHANI: Specifically, UC—John Wiley & Sons is—UC Davis is John Wiley & Sons' biggest client. And there is another conflict of interest in that Chancellor Katehi's husband is a professor in chemistry, I believe, and his class used John Wiley & Sons textbooks last quarter. So she's serving on the board, and he's making his students get those textbooks. That's a pretty clear—yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: And what did Chancellor Katehi have to do with that?
KYLA BURKE: She was on the board of that, as well, she said, to bring diversity to the school, although we couldn't figure out what that exactly meant.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Parisa Esfahani and Kyla Burke, two students at UC Davis who took part in a recent 36-day sit-in calling for UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi to resign.
On Wednesday, the University of California President Janet Napolitano placed Katehi on administrative leave. In a statement, she said, quote, "Information has recently come to light that raises serious questions about whether Chancellor Katehi may have violated several University of California policies, including questions about the campus's employment and compensation of some of the chancellor's immediate family members, the veracity of the chancellor's accounts of her involvement in contracts related to managing both the campus's and her personal reputation on social media, and the potential improper use of student fees. The serious and troubling nature of these questions, as well as the initial evidence, requires a rigorous and transparent investigation." Those, again, the words of UC President Janet Napolitano, who is the former governor of Arizona.
In a statement released earlier today, student protesters said, quote, "The collective efforts of UC Davis students, faculty, staff, and community members are responsible for yielding this result. It is crucial to note that it was not Janet Napolitano, or University of California Office of the President, who led us to this moment of justice, but our uncollapsing spirit and belief in political protest," they said. The letter goes on to say, quote, "Katehi is but a cog in the UC machine. We are aiming to scrap the prototype and create a new system that both works for and is run by students, faculty, workers, and the community at large. Until system-wide change takes place, our demonstrations will continue," they wrote.

Priest draws squirt gun in fight against coronavirus
by: Associated Press and Nexstar Media Wire
Rev. Timothy Pelc blesses Easter baskets outside St. Ambrose Church in Grosse Pointe Park, Mich. Pelc, wearing church vestments and protective gear, offering a prayer and sprayed holy water from a squirt gun instead of blessing baskets inside the church in a bid to maintain social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic. (Natalie White via AP)
DETROIT (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest in the Detroit area has taken aim at his parishioners in a bid to maintain social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, using a squirt gun to shoot holy water.
Photos posted on social media by the St. Ambrose Church show the Rev. Tim Pelc shooting water into a car window as it stopped by the steps of the church on Easter. He wore a mask, face shield and rubber gloves as further precautions against spreading the coronavirus.
The photos of the priest at the church in Grosse Pointe Park have inspired memes online. One shows the 70-year-old priest amid the fires of hell directing the squirt gun at devil-like figures.
Pelc told BuzzFeed News for an article over the weekend that he was a little concerned about how the Vatican might react when the photos of him squirting holy water began circulating widely on the internet. But, he said, "I haven't heard anything yet."
The idea was to find a way to continue a tradition of blessing Easter baskets despite the pandemic. One photo shows Pelc standing behind a car with its hatchback door up, shooting water at a basket of flowers.
The church and surrounding communities have taken the pandemic seriously, Pelc said. Parishioners have tied blue ribbons on trees at the church for each person who has died of COVID-19 in Michigan. That number is now approaching 5,000.

Following a borrower's default, a lender may choose to sell the mortgaged property to a third party. This allows the lender to recover the remaining balance on the debt. The process is simple and fast - upon default, and only requires the lender to provide the borrower with a notice (usually 35 days). Following this notice, the lender can take steps to sell the property and convey the mortgaged property to a third party. The borrower can only stop this process if they provide the entire remaining mortgage balance, essentially buying it out. The ease and expediency of a power of sale is the main reason why it is most common.
One important consideration for a lender exercising the power of sale, is that there is a legal duty to the borrower to pursue the highest possible value for the property. A power of sale is not meant as an instrument to gain profit, only to recover an outstanding mortgage balance. Therefore if the proceeds provide any surplus after the outstanding mortgage balance has been paid, the surplus goes to the borrower. Furthermore, if the property is sold under the market's fair value, the lender is then liable to the borrower for the loss. For some lenders, this is a reason to avoid exercising the power of sale and opting for other, liability-free mortgage solutions.
This mortgage remedy is similar to power of sale in that it also allows the lender to transfer mortgaged real estate to a third party, despite any objections on the part of the borrower. The difference between this solution and power of sale is that the court will oversee the judicial sale process. This removes the obligation to sell for the best value, and the lender will not be held liable if the proceeds are only sufficient to cover the outstanding mortgage balance.
The disadvantage of this solution is that it is a slow process, requiring longer notice to be given to the borrower, as well as several court appearances. Judicial sales also incur legal fees, which make it a less popular remedy despite the protection from liability.
When a lender forecloses on a property they will be awarded the full legal title to the mortgaged asset. Following this, the lender, as the sole owner of the foreclosed property, will be fully entitled to all the proceeds following a sale, with no obligation to provide any surplus to the borrower. This can, however, turn be a disadvantage for the lender, if the property value is less than the mortgage. In cases where the foreclosed real estate cannot be sold for an amount that will cover the outstanding mortgage, the lender has no grounds to make any claims against the borrower for the difference (which is not the case under a power of sale or judicial sale).
These different remedies require a lender to consider the facts of every specific situation before selecting an applicable course of action.

Q: How to use the function in drools with two parameters I want to check whether the student id is present in emp id of the company class.
If a studentid is present in the empidlist, then i should throw the error.
I have tried it in two different ways:
1st
rule :"check the student id is present in empid"
when
$company : Company()
accumulate(Employee(empid !=null, empid : empid) from $company.emplist;
empidlist: collectList(empid))
accumulate(Student(stdid !=null, empidlist.contains(stdid),stdid : stdid) from $company.stdlist; stdidlist: collectList(stdid);stdidlist.size()>0)
then
   //throw error.

When running it, I got the following error: cannot use .contains() from accumulate.
2nd
function boolean isStudentidExists(List<String> stdidlist, List<String> empidlist){
    for (String s : stdidlist) {
            for (String res : empidlist) {
                if (res.equals(s))
                    return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
}

rule :"check the student id is present in empid"
when
$company : Company()
accumulate(Employee(empid !=null, empid : empid) from $company.emplist; empidlist: collectList(empid))
accumulate(Student(stdid !=null,stdid : stdid) from $company.stdlist; stdidlist: collectList(stdid))
eval(isStudentidExists(stdidlist,empidlist))

Here it is not reading the List. I have tried giving the type as only List<> in my function, but that still doesn't work.
Class Company {
private List<Employee> emplist;
private List<Student> stdlist;
}

Class Employee {
private String empid;
}

Class Student  {
private String stdid;
}

A: As for the function, use
function boolean isStudentidExists(List stds, List emps ){
  for( Object s : stds) {
    if( emps.contains( s ) ) return true;
  }
  return false;
}

To use logic, it is advisable to have Student and Employee objects inserted as facts.
rule check
when
    Company( $el: emplist, $sl: stdlist )
    Student( $sid: stdid, this memberOf $sl )
    Employee( empid == $sid, this memberOf $el )
then
    // error
end
