Talkin' bout my generation
Before Saturday night's game, the youngest member of the Bulldog Tragician clan, my nine-year-old nephew exhibits a disturbing degree of pessimism — or perhaps pragmatism.
"Dad...if we're getting smashed at half time, can we go home early?" he asks hopefully.
Agh yes - the Tragician spirit lives on.
My nephew Joel (that's him on the far left in the photo above) is the youngest of four generations to barrack for the Dogs. My two grandfathers stood in the outer when their dodgy tickers permitted; my father played in the reserves and designed the Olympic clock that stood on Mount Mistake for many years (at right). My son ran up and down the steps of the John Gent stand in 1985 wearing his hand-knitted Footscray jumper, on a glorious sunny September evening when we were among 1000s of excited fans who thought anything was possible, watching the team train when they'd made the finals for the first time in 10 years. (Around this time my son also insisted on starting every morning by 'running through the banner' — an improvised sheet hanging from the doorway — commentating to himself about his favourite player at the time 'Stephen The Person' – McPherson to the rest of us).
Families, generations, the passing on of traditions, and the circle of history – they're what I'm thinking about before the Richmond clash. I'm nostalgic because there's a new member of the Bulldog clan making his debut. I see him for the first time just after the players complete their on-field warm up. A baby-faced kid (surely he's not old enough to be out there against brutish looking thugs in yellow and black) protected by a tight-knit wall of team-mates, having his new guernsey passed on to him by senior members of the team. His name is Lachlan Hunter. His dad Mark was player number 790 to ever appear for the Dogs. Lachie now joins our ranks, number 975 to represent our club.
After the circle disperses, Lachlan gets an enthusiastic ruffle on the head from others, including veteran player Nathan Hrovat. (He's an old hand, now, in his third game.)
In this topsy-turvy fixture, it's our first re-match of the season. In round three our performance against Richmond had dampened down the misguided expectations that I confess I'd developed after a relatively bright start to the season. We were brought down to earth in a 67 point old-fashioned drubbing where we never gave a yelp. Playing the same opponent would, I decide, be a chance to measure how far we'd progressed. Are we more competitive? Is genuine, if slow, progress is being made? I'm hoping to see a picture that tracks an orderly path, an encouraging tale about the future, steady progress, and regeneration.
Yet I realise quickly, it's impossible to make a neat, straightforward comparison. There's already been an enormous transition in two short months. No fewer than eight players from that match did not run out with Saturday night's team. Missing from the Round Three line up are: the chronically injured who've missed virtually all the season: Shaun Higgins, Tory Dickson, and Easton Wood. Blokes who were missing because of short term injury but have been regular and solid contributors: Tom Young and Koby Stevens. Two young hopefuls who haven't seemed to thrive: Mitch Wallis and Tom Campbell. An old dog whose card now seems to have been marked: Daniel Cross (the earlier Richmond match had been his 250th ).
Lachlan Hunter gets quickly involved. His debut is lively and impressive, though he doesn't remind me at all of his old man in either looks or style of play. Later I read a beautiful account by a Footy Almanac contributor, Andrew Fithall, who knows both Mark, and Lachlan's mother Colleen – a sporting legend in her own right who captained Australia in lacrosse. He wrote of the moment that Lachlan lined up for a shot at goal with his second ever kick:
As he went back, Richmond's Jack Riewoldt was heard to say 'You won't kick this you f*cken midget.' But he did kick it. Colleen is grateful the TV cameras hadn't yet located them in the crowd – they would have seen her tears.
Lachlan Hunter is playing alongside Tom Liberatore, another father-son. Libba Senior was the shortest ever player to win the Brownlow. I believe he's still the record holder for the most tackles in the VFL/AFL. We all shed a tear in his last ever game in 2002, when this most unlikely of football heroes got chaired off the ground. It was only fitting that he was sporting a broken nose, shattered in the first couple of minutes in a sickening though accidental clash with a fearsome man-mountain three times his size, Sav Rocca.
In that final match, one of Libba's team mates was a young Daniel Giansiracusa. Now grey-haired and playing as an almost permanent sub, on Saturday night Gia paces up and down the sidelines, offering support, advice and encouragement to his former team mate's son, who is still learning the game, and learning about life too, from his 'big brothers', men he would have idolised as a star-struck little boy.
Gia is playing game number 240. One hundred and seven of these have been wins, probably an average that's better than most in our Bulldog rollcall. Saturday night was not one of them.
Four of the newcomers from the Round 3 side are our draft picks from 2012, a group of 18 and 19 year-olds playing together for the first time this year. One of them, of course, is Lachie Hunter. Another is Jake Stringer, who somehow seems to crackle and bristle every time he goes near the ball.
Jake nails a goal on the half time siren (thwarting Joel's hopes of an early exit). He goes up and chests a Richmond player, sparking a tepid brawl, but it brings us to our feet. Stringer !!!!!! – player number 973 to pull on the red, white and blue guernsey. (In our family it seems significant that it's the maiden name of my mother — the Bulldog Tragician matriarch). I don't think Jack Riewoldt would be game to call him a 'f*cken midget'. Long may Jake exhibit his strut.
We don't lose by 67 points this time. We lose by 60. We're more competitive for stretches of the game, especially early. But what's painfully apparent is the waning of the older players. They look slow, uncertain. There is little in between, a massive gulf between the raw young kids and some veterans. If I needed any confirmation that glory days are not going to come around quickly, Saturday night confirms it.
Writing about a losing sports team, according to Martin Flanagan, is a difficult task: like 'trying to play with an orchestra in which the various instruments drop out until you are left in silence, holding the baton.' Players like Gia are holding that baton, passing on our traditions, shaping a future that they won't be part of . What the young guys do in the silence that will come when he and other older players leave the arena, just as Libba and Mark Hunter have done, is a story alll of its own, still to be written.
Postscript: there's more about the clock, and my dad, here and at Scoreboard Pressure
The Footy Almanac story on the Hunter family is here.
Tom Liberatore alongside his 'big brothers' from the Bulldogs, our 2013 leadership group. Of the five, three of them - Murphy, Cross, and Giansiracusa - played alongside his father Tony. They have each played more than 200 games for our club.
On barracking
It's half time and the mood is glum among the smattering of Bulldog die-hards. We're stoically huddled together, a forlorn cluster in the high reaches of Etihad Stadium. Outnumbered. Definitely out played.
'We haven't brought our A-game today.'
'Do we have an A-game?'
The Dogs have kicked a feeble two goals (one each quarter) and are already out of the contest. Fifty three points down in fact. It's looking grim.
We've played unimaginative, stilted football, bereft of ideas and options. Later I read that in the first quarter alone, we had 77% of our possessions in the back half. Can we conclude, then, this may have been a calculated tactic? Are we minimising a potentially heavy loss by a defensive 'play it safe' strategy? It's hard to see the logic. With our limited skill level, it's only ever a matter of time before the inevitable turnover leads to another Collingwood player whizzing into goal.
Many of these clangers seem to result from my least favourite part of the Bulldogs' game plan at the moment (see, I can even rank them in order) – our kick in maneuvers. The shower scene in 'Psycho' is positively frivolous compared to the excruciating suspense of seeing which wretched variation we'll choose to employ. Will it be the relatively straightforward tactic of a wobbly kick to the tallest Collingwood player on the ground, preferably unattended? A little prosaic for mine. Why not try the daring play-on tactic, only to become stranded about 10 metres from the goalmouth before running out of ideas (and realising that no other teammate has caught onto your intention and made any move in support)? Just like an evening at Norman Bates' hotel, when that scary music comes on, you know how it's all going to end.
The great existential questions of football are looming large: Why am I here, and why does it matter? It's not, after all, fun. It's just another forgettable loss demonstrating how far we have to go. Judging by the size of the crowd, and the difficulty in spotting much red, white and blue, many of my fellow Dogs' supporters are snugly at home, having drawn their own conclusion to these questions.
The atmosphere in the crowd is strangely listless. This isn't just among the Bulldog unfortunates. One of the things I've always feared and admired in equal measure about the Collingwood faithful is their unrivalled ability to create their own energy force field, possibly even visible from the moon: no matter the score, the opponent, or stage of the match, their sense of outrage, and lust for victory, never seem to wane. In a miserable hiding they inflicted on us in our unsuccessful finals series of 2010, these were the fans who, despite the game being over by quarter time, booed and jeered well-known AFL bad boy Brad Johnson, crippled by injury and in his last handful of games. (I mean… Brad Johnson?)
But today the Pies fans can't seem to muster the energy. Their boos towards some anonymous Bulldog stripling, as he commits the cardinal offence of lining up for goal after taking an innocuous mark, seem perfunctory. (He misses anyway). Their hearts aren't in it. A depressing realization dawns. Maybe they feel sorry for us?
The Bulldog players run out from their half time break. Bless their red, white and blue socks: they still pile in for that 'we're all in this together and we're going to give this match a red hot go' huddle, trying to generate a sense of purpose and ferocious commitment in a way that strikes me as comical in the circumstances. I can't help imagining how they might be urging each other on:
'Boys, the crowd do seem to appreciate it when Harry O'Brien dashes down the ground. Let's give the fans what they want, and give the guy some room.'
'Fellas, that guy with the tattoos, anyone know his name? He seems to be getting a bit of it – slipped under our radar. Right, let's knuckle down on him now. Boydy, why don't you take him?'
'Look, guys, this could be a bit out of left field, but it's worth a try. Let's NOT kick it to someone with three opponents when another bloke's on his own.'
There are the usual slaps on the back and mutterings of fierce intent. They can't mean it, surely?
Why am I here, and why does it matter?
The Dogs do show a bit more purpose in the third quarter, obviously fired up by my imaginary conversations in the huddle, and to my relief they actually attack. I'd prefer to lose with an attempt at some pizzazz than suffer through our clumsy inept possession game.
There's a group of four young blokes near us that are supporting the Dogs. They've been unstinting, despite the dire performance, in their loud and unruly enthusiasm. When, for the first time in the match, we score consecutive goals, they leap to their feet, applauding wildly, celebrating with exuberance out of proportion to the occasion. Perhaps it's a post-modern, Gen-Y expression of irony. Then again, beer could be involved.
This goal avalanche (two) is only a warm-up for the last. The Bulldogs pile on five goals. The Pies seem to be already on their mid season break. The match has been so awful, and we've been so dejected by the dreadful first half, that we welcome the emergence of some signs of class – a delicate Jack McCrae sidestep, a Griffen burst through the middle, a strong mark from Jake Stringer. The Quartet of Post Modernists are delirious. 'We're coming Pies! We're coming! We're on a ROLL!!' they call when some Collingwood fans pack up their belongings, evidently content in the knowledge that with five minutes to go, our little surge is not threatening to lose them the game.
From nowhere, it seems, a guy with a red, white and blue Mohawk starts a Bulldogs chant. Around us, people join in, laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. There are more Bulldogs fans around than I thought. We're here. It doesn't really matter why any more.
We leave the ground. The Collingwood theme song is blaring out. There was never any doubt that's how it would end.
The words have given me some answers, though.
See, the barrackers are shouting, as all barrackers should…
Home: it's where the Bulldogs are playing
My mother promised me I could start coming to 'home' games when I turned four years old. In my child's imagination, a home game would mean that the footballers played, much like my brother and I, kick-to-kick in a player's backyard. I expected this to be with the only player I could name. Naturally this was Ted Whitten. I can still recall my amazement when the eagerly awaited day arrived and I walked in for the first time to the Western Oval (not yet christened in the legend's name), to be greeted by what seemed like a vast expanse of emerald green grass.
There was a unique smell of wet duffel coats, donut vans, and something indefinably Western Oval. (It may have been the plumbing). The players were remote and tiny specks far off in the distance. They wore dressing gowns and ate oranges while they listened to Ted rev them up in the breaks. We walked up to our seats in the John Gent stand - it was rickety even then. The Hyde Street band marched around the oval, coins whizzing dangerously past their heads.
I was entranced. So began my journey as a fan.
Every home game, we would park near Olympic Tyres in Cross Street. My grandfather was the gateman and would wave at us from his little booth, wearing a long grey dustcoat. He wasn't allowed to go to games himself, as he had a heart condition which it was feared would not stand the suspense of Footscray's performances.
There were mysterious events on alternate Saturdays called 'away' matches. I wasn't old enough to go to these as they would involve standing all day and, most likely, uncouth language. The adults in the family – my mother, uncles and aunts - headed off to destinations that sounded picturesque – Lakeside Oval or Victoria Park. The sorts of places, I thought, that the Famous Five might have shared a simply ripping picnic, with ginger ale.
We children stayed home with my grandmother. She was Irish and would listen to the game on the radio, cooking up a storm for when the adults returned home. We'd run inside at what we thought must be half time. 'How are we going Nanna?' Her face would darken. ' Five goals down.' Knowing this was insufficient, she would attempt some spite in her lilting brogue. 'The bloomin' umpires are killing us!' My grandmother never saw a game in her lifetime.
Though cold hard facts tell me that, this being the 1960s, we didn't win many games at the Western Oval, surprisingly enough, that's not my recollection. It was our fortress, and we went there expecting to win. I don't remember all the dis-spiriting losses that must have happened; instead I recall Georgie Bissett charging into goals as we made stirring last quarter rallies, pinching games from more favoured teams, who hated coming to our ground with its narrow flanks, howling wind and parochial fans. But my memories are probably faulty as I also recall my mother and I returning home from the last game of the season and my father, in an ill-judged attempt at humour, coming out onto the front porch waving a wooden spoon.
This week our 'home' game was in Darwin. All hail the Truly National Competition, where football executives now refer to the fans as stakeholders. The unoccupied John Gent Stand is undoubtedly still rickety, but underneath it, a groovy café sells lattes. (As Marj Simpson would probably say: Do you kids still say 'groovy' these days?).
I tuned into the match on Foxtel. Diabolical camerawork, aimless direction, and annoying, droning commentators stood between me and the smells, sights and atmosphere of the game. Even so, I could sense the humidity of the airless night. It seemed like a foreign country, not just another state. Instead of braving the biting wind coming off Mount Mistake, the players retreated to refrigerated cool rooms for carefully managed rehydration. No dressing gowns or oranges were in sight.
Though Port Adelaide have been in the competition for 16 years I can barely recall any of our matches against them. It's like that with many of the interstate clubs – an absence of that intense rivalry, that tribal loyalty that builds layers of memories, disappointment, joy or resentment into matches. Playing them every year in Darwin of late has still further eroded any investment in the matches - they feel about as interesting as an early pre season trial match. They're always sloppy, error-riddled games because of the humidity and, perhaps, the lack of occasion. Games you just want to be over without an injury and with a routine four points banked.
This year any complacency about four points is a luxury. Despite myself, I desperately want the Dogs to win what would be just their third victory of the year. The signs aren't good — they look fatigued from the opening bounce and then Tom Williams, unluckiest of the unlucky, pops his shoulder. I don't think it's going to be our night. I try to be philosophical. Again.
The Dogs don't yield, though. There's a veritable avalanche of goals in the third quarter, at least by recent Bulldog standards. We hold them off in an agonisingly tense last quarter that seems to go forever. Ted Whitten would have said: Oh what a bloody relief!
When the boys are singing the song my mind drifts to a wonderful article in The Age that morning. One of our supporters, a man called Gary Hincks, was travelling to Darwin to watch his 888th consecutive game. I'm not much of a mathematician, but he must have started this amazing run some 40 years ago. I'm imagining him celebrating among the sparse Darwin crowd, the most dedicated stakeholder of them all.
Gary Hincks before game number 888.

In the third generation of the iconic JJ, we've taken everything we've learned aboue the interaction between taper and rocker and applied it to this ski. The contact point was moved behind the ski's widest point for the first time to give more consistent turn initiation than seen in previous Elf shoe builds. AR75 sidewall construction provides improved edge pressure, and a new 3d base combines the advantage of no-catch edges with the durability of a steel-built full edge wrap. It all adds up to the ultimate backcountry freestyle tool and the next evolution of the game-changing powder-riding legend.

Q: How do I allow a user to upload a file temporarily? I am working on a csv import option on my php page.  Is there any way to allow the user to upload a csv for processing and then destroy the file when it is complete?  I have seen plenty of tutorials for uploading files, but none seem to mention something like this.

A: Sure! Take an upload script, and unlink() the file when you're done. Nothing to it.
Don't process the temporary file directly, though. Always move_uploaded_file() it to a directory you control. Then, delete it there.

A: When you upload a file to PHP it's stored in a temporary location, you can move it from there to a working directory, do your processing and then remove it.
$working_file = "/temporary/file";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $working_file);
... // Do your processing on $working_file
unlink($working_file);

All you have to do is unlink() it when you've finished processing to delete it.

Especially due to progressive internationalization corporate and company law becomes more complex. With the help of your notary public the founding and further legal assistance of a company become a safe matter.
For anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur or already is one, first, the question of the proper legal form is crucial. In this context, above all, criteria like organization, legal liability, tax and labor law are to consider.
As a notary public I will advise you at first about the choice of the appropriate legal form. Thereafter I provide drafts of all agreements and declarations necessary for the incorporation. My notary office then ensures proper implementation of the incorporation by application vis a vis the commercial register and monitoring of the companies registration. Subsequent, I am pleased to assist you with other company issues, such as shareholder meetings, changes of articles of incorporation, restructuring of the company (eg: transformation according to the German Transformation Act) or the conclusion of an affiliation agreement. Finally, in case of the sale or acquisition of a company with limited liability (GmbH) or a share in a GmbH I provide the suitable components for an effective contract. For that matter I work closely with your attorney and tax advisors if necessary.
Statutory law stipulates the participation of a civil law notary especially for corporations such as the GmbH, the business company (with limited liability) ("UG"), the AG or the cooperative. Though, besides my usual assistance with the registration in the commercial register or the register of associations, as a notary public I also offer the entire range of consulting services for partnerships and associations.
As a corporate form, the legal form of GmbH is currently the most common. The company may be effectively established only by the notarization of the articles of association.
Here, as a civil law notary I perform not only the recording in the strict sense. I advise - without separate compensation – about all legal issues related to the incorporation and draft the articles of association. "Normally" the appointment of one or several managing director/s by resolution of the shareholders is part of the incorporation deed. For the registration of the company with the commercial register, the signatures under the application document must be filed with the commercial register in publicly certified form. The drafting of the application documents is carried out by the civil law notary.
The minimum share capital of a GmbH is € 25,000. In case of a establishment with contributions in cash only, at least half of it must be paid in immediately. Though, care must also be taken, that a quarter of every share has to be paid in. When applying for entry into the commercial register, the share capital must be paid in as intended. Beyond the costs of incorporation stipulated in the articles all reductions of share capital (this includes losses through rents, salaries and lease payments and the obligation to do so), must be balanced at this time by appropriate re-deposits. Otherwise the founders risk a rejection of the registration or even a criminal offense. In these cases, each shareholder is also liable for the missing amount with regard to the share capital at the time of registration (so-called "Differenzhaftung"). Therefore the safest way is to leave paid-in capital untouched in the account until the registration is effected.
The business company (with limited liability) (UG) is merely a variant of the well-known GmbH, for which the legislature has established a number of special rules in § 5a Limited Liability Companies Act.
For example the UG requires no minimum share capital. It can be registered with the commercial register with a share capital of only € 1. The business name of the company must indicate it's legal form by containing the words "business company (with limited liability)" or "UG (limited)". Finally, according to statutory law the UG is obliged to setup certain reserves in their balance sheet, in order to save sufficient capital for the rise to an ordinary GmbH.
The UG can be incorporated by way of a proper notarization or alternatively in a simplified and cost-effecting proceeding using a standard non individualized incorporation document (so called "Musterprotokoll"). Then the UG must be registered with the commercial register - just like any other corporation. In addition, it is subject to the same provisions as the GmbH itself.

Terry Weerasinghe has a unique vantage point on the music distribution industry and its relationship to DJs.
Originally from the UK, Weerasinghe started working as record stores clerk before studying Business Management and Advertising. But after being drawn to the city's electronic music scene, Weerasinghe eventually relocated to Berlin.
As former head of Native Instrument's Traktor and previous marketing manager for Pioneer Pro DJ, Weerasinghe has seen first hand the changes in how DJs and producers play and distribute music.
Now, as Senior Vice President of Music, Marketing and Analytics, Weerasinghe oversees marketing and branding at Beatport.
Launched in 2004, Beatport was built on the idea of creating an online digital market for DJs and fans to purchase dance music. With the changes in both music consumption and the digital music market itself, Beatport has been an interesting case study in how a groundbreaking music startup has had to adapt to the new realities of the music industry, and how the future of dance music will be defined.
To mark the launch of LANDR offering music distribution to Beatport, Weerasinghe took time out to discuss the importance of labels in electronic music, how Beatport fits in the current music distribution landscape and dance music in the age of streaming.
Tell us about Beatport's refocusing around its core mission to be the leading resource for purchasing dance music. What are the ways in which Beatport has made that mission a reality?
Before we entered this refocusing phase, it seemed there was a new idea every week that didn't focus on the core Beatport market: DJs. Some ideas were good, others were not as well considered. Now all Beatport's priorities have returned to how we serve our DJ customers.
Some ideas were good, others were not as well considered. Now all Beatport's priorities have returned to how we serve our DJ customers.
The biggest change behind the scenes is making it easier to find the music. We undertook a comprehensive genre clean-up, moving over 1.5 million tracks to their correct categories.
Our next move was to realign our bass genres: We now have Trap/Future Bass, Garage/Bassline/Grime and Leftfield Bass alongside Dubstep in the store. We created the new categories with many of the bass scene's biggest ambassadors including Run The Trap, UZ, OWSLA, DJ Q, Rinse FM, DJ Shiftee and Mad Decent.
We're undoubtedly late to the game introducing these genres, but we've worked hard behind the scenes to do it right.
Our mission is to get the right music to the right DJ, and we feel that we're accomplishing that better than ever now.
Music production has become a lot more accessible in recent years, a trend that's now moving into other areas like music distribution. How do you see that from Beatport's perspective?
Dance music follows a very particular model in which the label is still key. Because we're in the business of selling tracks, not songs, the labels act as an authority within whatever sound a customer is passionate about.
A label is a badge of quality, whether your tastes align with Drumcode or Ilian Tape. Releasing on as many good labels as possible is one of the best ways an artist can grow their profile, as different labels have different built-in fan bases.
In the face of streaming's growing popularity, DJs are one of the key groups who continue to purchase downloadable digital tracks. Do you think that DJing will ever move into streaming and why?
At some stage there is sure to be a technology evolution, but that change would have to start with one of the leading brands in the space. In the DJ world, those top influencers are Pioneer, Traktor and Serato, and a widespread change would then take years to establish.
Back in 2002, Pioneer released its DMP-555, the first CDJ able to play MP3s from an SD card, while other models were still CD-only. We didn't see an immediate switch to digital when it was released, because it needed to become the worldwide industry standard.
At some stage there is sure to be a technology evolution… [but] a widespread change would then take years to establish.
When CDJ-2000 finally came out, the thumb drive revolution took around three years. A similar evolution in streaming would need to be led by those top hardware brands, so we're confident downloads are here for a while longer.
With your experience spearheading some of the world's most important DJ brands and products—Pioneer CDJ, Traktor and now Beatport—what are your thoughts on the evolution of music formats in DJ culture?
Music formats have actually been static for a while now. There's a common perception that digital means lower quality, but that's just not the case.
But it would of course be exciting to see a higher quality digital file than WAV or AIFF, now that storage capacities have grown and download times are speedier.
How does Beatport stay involved with independent labels, and how is it helping them remain profitable and visible?
Dance music is all about independent labels. 96% of Beatport's label revenue is paid to independents. Because it's not a song-based market, the majors aren't as interested in dominating as they are in other scenes.
We have a high level of independent labels operating on an even playing field. We curate around 25,000 tracks every week on Beatport from over 56,000 labels, so independent music will always be core to what we do.
Independent music will always be core to what we do.
How do the Beatport charts function in Beatport's ecosystem—are they curated, sales-driven or a mix of both and how can they help break an artist?
Beatport's charts (such as the Top 100 and genre Top Tens) are completely sales-driven, whereas the DJ charts are selected by the featured artist. Standout music is also regularly highlighted in charts by our expert curation team (for example, Best New Tracks).
Each week, the team selects from those 25,000 releases. 80% of the best-selling tracks on Beatport have appeared on our curation charts.
Beatport has been one of the contributing factors in the growth of artists from Skrillex, Zedd and Deadmau5 to more recent acts like CamelPhat, who've seen their profile grow with a strong run of Beatport hits this year.
If I started an independent electronic label today, how would I go about being represented on Beatport? What are you criteria for the partnerships you form?
Although labels might feel like a direct account with Beatport is the only way to get their foot in the door, it's really not the case. Nearly all successful labels you see on Beatport have proper distribution behind them. It's essential in this day and age.
Researching your distribution options is really the first step. Who are labels you respect being distributed by? Who offers the type of services you're looking for?
Distributors can handle many aspects beyond just getting your content to Beatport: They can also see that it's getting into the hands of tastemaker DJs via their promo platforms, ensuring you have YouTube and SoundCloud clips up, right through to mastering and full label management. Many offer comprehensive tailor-made packages to meet your needs.
How does the Beats In School competition function inside of the Beatport community and how is it helping independent artists shape their careers and tell their stories?
Beats In School is a true one-of-a-kind competition. It's the only DJ/producer contest where the winner is paired up with one of the top labels in the world.
I see it as totally harmonious with the digital music market. Once you're a vinyl collector, you always will be.
Each of the labels taking part in Beats In School — Circus Recordings, Anjunabeats, Hospital Records and Dirtybird — made Mixmag's Top 50 Labels of the Decade poll, with Dirtybird named the No. 1. So it really means something that experts from each label will work with the winner to help them make the best music they can.
We're also working with the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM) to give the winner access to the most knowledgeable people in the industry. You also get support from Beatport, training and gear from Point Blank Music School and our hardware partners, coverage in Future Music and Computer Music and a whole lot more.
It really is an all-round package to launch your career.
Is it still true that you own 6,000 vinyl records? What is your take on the craze for vinyl and how it affects or interacts with the digital music market?
Vinyl might not be the most practical format for DJing, but I've been a record collector since before I was 10. Vinyl will always have a place in my heart, from the sound to the aesthetics of it, and I add to my collection every week.
The vinyl craze has people really invested in dance music in ways that they haven't for years. For me, it's totally complementary to what we do at Beatport.

The 612 Scaglietti is the perfect combination of the pure performance of a sporty Ferrari berlinetta and a cabin that can seat adult passengers. For the first time ever on a 12 cylinder Ferrari, the construction is all-aluminium (using space frame design for the chassis and bodyshell). The model was built by Ferrari in the Scaglietti workshop dedicated to light alloy technology. The 612 Scaglietti's innovative aluminium structure brings heightened levels of comfort, drivability, and provides the maximum crash protection for the occupants.
The engine is positioned centrally in the rear (set behind the rear axle) and the gears and rear differential in a single block for the maximum recession and lowering the centre of gravity, with evident benefits on the dynamic behaviour of the car. The 12-cylinder 65° V-engine is the fruit of cutting edge Ferrari engine technology.
The body styling, developed in close collaboration with Pininfarina, unites functionality with aesthetics. The harmonious, elegant lines of the bumpers, bonnet, cabin and tail end create a sweeping, sinuous form. The scalloped sides add character and dash. This feature was last seen on the 375 MM that the film director Roberto Rossellini dedicated to actress Ingrid Bergman. The traditional Ferrari air intake has been given a new twist: the bumper has been slightly lowered and the light cluster set longways, a solution that displays their internal arrangement. The tail end is solid and imposing with the classic circular lights set high.
The 612 Scaglietti is the first 12-cylinder Ferrari built entirely in aluminium - both the chassis and body. Cutting edge technology has been used in its production and assembly, allowing the weight to be reduced by 40% while providing extremely rigid torsion. The weight distribution (46% front; 54% rear) has been carefully considered to provide a drive that is true to rear-engined vehicles while maintaining the enjoyment and ease of front engined models. The chassis has a space frame construction. The structural elements are made up of aluminium (aluminium extrusions 38%), united with elements in alloy fused with sand (34%) - used as a closure. Sheet metal (28%) strengthens the whole. The strengthening of the chassis and body also means better passenger safety: the on board safety package far exceeds current international standards and includes many up to the minute crash features.
The 12-cyllinder, 65°V 5748cc engine with its 540 bhp at 7250 rpm delivers a not-insignificant 98 bhp more that the 5443cc unit used on the 456M. The engine has been modified a little compared to that mounted on the 575M Maranello: performance has been tweaked and the fluid dynamics improved. In particular, a new, more permeable suction routing and two air intakes set at the sides of the central opening in the bumper, a new shape and resized exhaust system to reduce counter-pressure that ups the compression ratio to 11.2:1, the optimisation of the fluid dynamics of the internal conduits in the inlet tracts and exhaust porting are some of the main changes. A Bosch Motronic E7 unit looks after the engine's electronics and provides precise and responsive - yet driver friendly - performance in any road conditions.
The refined and sporty interior recalls the light alloy structure of the 612 Scaglietti and visually emphasises the technological contents. The aluminium fittings, extracted in one piece or from sheet metal, are both a decorative and functional element. Passengers, cocooned in the beautifully handcrafted, upholstered leather seats and interior, can relax in a cabin that exudes racy exclusivity. Life on board is made all the more appealing by the climate control system, the Bose™ digital 6-channel, radio-CD sound system, the automatic headlight on, rain sensors for the wipers and the volumetric alarm. The luggage compartment capacity is greater than that of the 456M, up to 240 litres from 190. The hollow for the space-saving spare wheel can also be used for storage.
The transmission on the 612 Scaglietti, true to its transaxle set-up, features a rear gear groupset and differential in a single block with a 6-speed synchromesh, multi-cone gearbox. As well as the manual version, the 612 Scaglietti is also available with a newly-developed F1A gearshift (the 'A' stands for automatic). This sophisticated electro-hydraulic system derives from F1 competition and assures supersmooth gear changes in elevated comfort. The drive dynamics of the 612 Scaglietti is aided by the all-new stability and traction control system (CST) used for the first time on a Ferrari; this is the last word in performance-friendly technology, delivered in complete safety.

Q: HTML5/jQuery - Vertical Page Sliding I have seen websites where they have some links in the top, and when you click example the first link, you are being scrolled down (the jQuery scroll down effect) on the page, to the id (#) you clicked on. (The menu with the links is following you). You can then click on another link, and you are being taken further down the page.
I can't fint a name for this technique, my search on vertical page sliding didn't return what I was hoping for.
Tumblr.com have something like this, just not exactly what I am looking for.
http://www.w3.org/html/logo have something like this also, the only thing missing here is the menu following down, when the page is scrolling.
Can anyone help me shed some light on this? Or give me some examples?
Thanks in advance!

A: All you do is get the vertical offset of the element you want to scroll to, then animate the scrollTop property for the window element (or whatever element you're scrolling):
//bind to all links whose `href` attribute starts with a hash
$('a[href^="#"]').on('click', function () {

    //get the offset from the document's top for the element targeted in the links `href` attribute
    var offset = $($(this).attr('href')).offset().top;

    //scroll the document, some browsers use `html`, some use `body`
    $('html, body').stop().animate({ scrollTop : offset }, 1000);
});

Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wCgA7/1/
Notice that if you give the navigation position:fixed you can dock it to the top of the view-port.

A: Look for the scrollTo plugin. http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html

A: For the "following" menu, have a look at fixed positioning. CSS position: fixed elements always

remain in the same place relative to the viewport, after scrolling

*

*DEMO

A: I've been using a modified version of this JQuery code:
// animate to anchor link
$('nav a').click(function() {
   $('nav li').removeClass('selected');
   $(this).parent().addClass('selected');
   var elementClicked = $(this).attr("href");
   var destination = $(elementClicked).offset().top;
   $("html:not(:animated),body:not(:animated)").animate({ scrollTop: destination}, 500);
   return false;
});
// update active links on scroll
$(window).scroll(function(){
    var pos = $(window).scrollTop();
    var height =  $(window).height();

    $('nav li').each(function(){
        if( ( pos >= $(this).offset().top )){
            $('nav li').removeClass();
            $(this).addClass('selected');
        }
    });
});

Gaming Innovation Group signs Moosh in Portugal
By PR Newswire On Jul 1, 2022
OSLO, Norway, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) has signed an agreement with a brand new partner Caravel Entertainment Limited (Caravel), best known for operating the 'Moosh' brand in Portugal, to provide its award winning sportsbook and platform.
The deal, which represents a continued strengthening of GiG's targeted strategy in fast growing regulated markets, will see Caravel shift from its existing technology to GiG's for the moosh.pt site, and as such will provide immediate revenue opportunities from what is an existing database migration, scheduled to take place during Q4 2022.
The agreement has been signed between GiG's subsidiary Sportnco Gaming and Caravel for an initial period of three years, that could be further renewed for additional periods.
The Portuguese market has demonstrated high growth across both sports betting and casino, with an annual growth in 2021 of 32% and 30% respectively (H2 data), providing evidence of its commercial potential. GiG has extensive knowledge and experience in delivering complex and highly regulated markets successfully, this being their third Portuguese client alone, fueling the momentum that is making them a trusted partner for operators like Caravel, who are looking to migrate platforms or launch in such markets.
Hervé Schlosser, Managing Director of Sportnco Gaming, said "We are very proud to sign this contract with Moosh, a new GiG customer in the demanding and attractive Portuguese market. Moosh.pt has great ambitions domestically and there is no doubt that we are perfectly positioned to be able to respond positively to the new dynamics of this growing Portuguese operator."
Martin Bengtsson, Chief Executive Officer at Moosh.pt said: "It has been a long process to find the right partner for us, which we have found in the sportsbook and platform provider GiG. Their Sportnco subsidiary is well known for their top-notch sportsbook offering so this partnership offers a strong support for our business, and we are convinced our players will appreciate the new updated sportsbook when we go live. We have high ambitions in the Portuguese market, and this partnership will surely help us accelerate our plans to reach our goals and ambitions, not only in the sportsbook vertical but in Casino as well, whilst scaling up the offering in other regulated markets inside and outside of Europe

MS coy on 'leaked' X360 logo
A logo that bears an uncanny resemblance to the design of Microsoft's E3 press invites hits the net, but reps won't say if it's real or not.
News by	Tom Bramwell, Contributor
Updated on 8 May 2005
Following a spate of recent leaks, none of which Microsoft has been prepared to comment upon, news reaches us from the USA that the Xbox 360 next-generation console logo will feature swirly green lines on a white background. Microsoft is, er, unprepared to comment, reminding this website that a logo has not been revealed.
"We have not announced the logo for our next-generation platform. I would recommend you tune in to MTV on the 13th of May if you're curious..." a spokesperson told us this morning.
You can take a look at the logo - source unknown - over at GamerCentric.
What's interesting about this particular "leak" is that the swirly design is very similar to that emblazoned upon the shiny invites Microsoft has been distributing to the press for its pre-E3 press conference on May 16th.
As you can see from the photo hopefully visible next to this paragraph or not too far away, there's an uncanny resemblance. The question, of course, is whether someone's simply taken a look at that and fashioned an image to fit.
Chances are we won't know the answer before E3. If this does turn out to be the logo, though, what are your thoughts on it?
Head here to compare the two images side by side.

Searching for Lost WWII-Era Uranium Cubes from Germany
Researchers are piecing together what happened to hundreds of cubes of uranium from a secretive and failed effort to build a nuclear reactor in Nazi Germany
Recognize this cube? It's one of the 664 uranium cubes from the failed nuclear reactor that German scientists tried to build in Haigerloch during World War IICREDIT: John T. Consoli / University of Maryland
Back in 2013, Timothy Koeth, an associate research professor at the University of Maryland, received a rather extraordinary birthday gift: a little cloth lunch pouch containing a small object wrapped in brown paper towels. As Koeth peeled back the layers, his eyes grew wide with astonishment. He immediately asked, "Where did you get that?"
Inside he found a heavy metal cube and a crumpled message, a provocative note wrapped around a stone that came crashing through the window of history. It read, "Taken from Germany, from the nuclear reactor Hitler tried to build. Gift of Ninninger."
Koeth's friend grinned, picked up the five-pound block of uranium metal and handed it to him. Though modest in size, the cube was heavy, dense, and steeped in lost history. Koeth accepted the cube and its note as an invitation to the adventure of a lifetime.
In the May 2019 issue of Physics Today, Koeth and Miriam Hiebert, a doctoral candidate working with him on this project at UMD's A. James Clark School of Engineering, describe what they've discovered while exploring the German quest and failure to build a working nuclear reactor during World War II.
Uranium is weakly radioactive, and this particular cube measures about two inches on each side. "It's surprisingly heavy, given its size, and it's always a lot of fun to watch people's reaction when they pick it up for the first time," said Hiebert.
A chandelier of nuclear elements
This cube represents one of 664 uranium metal components that were strung together in a form reminiscent of a chandelier to comprise the core of a nuclear reactor experiment that a team of German scientists attempted to build toward the end of the World War II, including Werner Heisenberg—a theoretical physicist and one of the key visionaries of quantum mechanics. The chandelier was submerged in heavy water to regulate the rate of fission.
The Germans' experimental lab was small and located underground in the town of Haigerloch—it's now the Atomkeller Museum, which the public can visit. "This experiment was their final and closest attempt to create a self-sustaining nuclear reactor, but there wasn't enough uranium present in the core to achieve this goal," said Koeth.
One of the most surprising things Koeth and Hiebert have discovered so far is that while the 664 uranium cubes at Haigerloch weren't enough to build a self-sustaining reactor, an additional 400 cubes were located within Germany at the time.
"If the Germans had pooled their resources, rather than keeping them divided among separate, rival experiments, they may have been able to build a working nuclear reactor," said Hiebert. "This highlights perhaps the biggest difference between the German and American nuclear research programs. The German program was divided and competitive; whereas, under the leadership of General Leslie Groves, the American Manhattan Project was centralized and collaborative."
How close did the Germans get?
How close did the Germans get to a working nuclear reactor? This is difficult to answer, but "it's been calculated that the reactor experiment in Haigerloch would have needed about 50 percent more uranium to run," said Koeth. "Even if the 400 additional cubes had been brought to Haigerloch to use within that reactor experiment, the German scientists would have still needed more heavy water to make the reactor work. Despite being the birthplace of nuclear physics and having nearly a two-year head start on American efforts, there was no imminent threat of a nuclear Germany by the end of the war."
Another important aspect of Koeth and Hiebert's work is an effort to track down the cubes recovered from Haigerloch that ended up being shipped to the U.S. "Cubes were distributed to various individuals around the country," Hiebert explained. "We don't know how many were handed out or what happened to the rest, but there are likely more cubes hiding in basements and offices around the country, and we'd like to find them!"
Many questions remain unanswered, and chief among them are: How many of these cubes still exist, and what has happened to them?
"We hope to speak to as many people as possible who've had contact with these cubes," said Hiebert. "As much as we've learned about our cube and others like it, we still don't have an answer about how exactly it ended up in Maryland 70 years after being captured by Allied forces in southern Germany."
Koeth and Hiebert are also trying to learn more about the fate of the other 400 cubes that ended up on the black market in Europe after the war.
Many questions remain unanswered, and chief among them are: How many of these cubes still exist, and what has happened to them? Physics Today helped track down a few; read more here.

HBO Max Cancellation
Ryan Seacrest And Shayna Taylor Have Officially Broken Up
By Will Ashton
On American Idol, Ryan Seacrest often tells the million of viewers at home that they will discover who is going home and who will stick around for another week "after the break." But Seacrest has gotten a break of his own in his personal life, this time with his girlfriend of the past three years, Shayna Taylor. And this time, he shouldn't expect to be sticking around. The television personality and his model girlfriend have officially called it quits. There is no need to watch any commercials.
The news was given to People by an undisclosed source close to the one-time couple. While Ryan Seacrest and Shayna Taylor still reportedly "love and care" about one another, it ultimately did not work out for reasons currently unknown, though the split was "amicable" and "they're still really close," despite the break-up.
It's no secret that Ryan Seacrest is a busy man. Beyond his commitments to the aforementioned American Idol, he also appears on Live with Kelly and Ryan, which certainly takes a lot of time out of his day. It can be hard to find personal time between those duties, and it's possible that making room for a fostering relationship is too much to ask. But that's simply a matter of speculation.
It should be noted that Ryan Seacrest and Shayna Taylor have broken up before. They first got to know each other in 2013 when they were introduced to one another through friends, and then they broke up in 2014. Taylor claims they "matured" after the first time they broke up. But for whatever reason, it didn't quite come together, despite their romantic relationship lasting a longer amount of time.
These things happen. They happen all the time, truth be told. Relationships can be fickle, and while the parties involved might still have affections for each other, they can also recognize that it's not meant to be and that it's best to simply move on.
Nevertheless, it doesn't sound like it's a bitter break-up. They tried to make it work and they gave it a good shot. But it didn't come together, and it's good to know that nobody is completely devastated by this news -- at least, based on the information given to the media at this time. In fact, it doesn't even sound all that definitive. Maybe they'll give it a third shot? Third time's the charm, as they will often say.
No matter. For now, Shayna Taylor and Ryan Seacrest are keeping themselves apart. And that's how it's going to be. At least, for the time being. But if something changes, you know that you'll find all the updated information you need to hear right here at CinemaBlend. And we'll be right back after this commercial break.

The concept of Mac Group Policy Objects (GPOs) is a hot topic in modern IT organizations. GPOs are one of the most powerful aspects of the Microsoft® Active Directory® (AD) platform. The challenge is that GPOs are exclusive to Windows® systems. As the world shifts to Mac (and Linux) systems, there is a need for GPO-like capabilities for Mac.
The good news is that a next generation directory service platform has emerged, called JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service®, that can provide GPO-like capabilities for cross platform system environments. Before we discuss how that is possible, let's take a step back and discuss the benefits of GPOs for Windows systems.
GPOs are effectively prescribed commands and scripts designed to help IT admins configure a wide variety of Windows system behaviors. Examples of GPOs include commands that configure screen lock timeout, disable USB ports, manage guest access, and more. The key benefit is that GPOs enable IT organizations to manage fleets of Windows systems from one central management platform.
Microsoft pioneered the concept of Group Policy when they introduced AD in 1999. Group based policy management has been a huge hit with IT admins ever since. In fact, GPOs are one of the primary reasons why AD quickly became the most popular on-prem management platform for Windows users and systems in the early 2000's.
The challenge has always been that GPOs only work for Windows systems. In other words, you are out of luck if you want to leverage GPOs for Mac and Linux system management. Additionally, AD is an on-prem identity provider designed for on-prem IT networks. That means IT organizations must invest significant capital and resources towards an on-prem identity management solution, all the while knowing that AD can only solve part of their system management challenges.
Of course, these challenges weren't considered issues in the early days of Active Directory, given that most systems were Windows based and on-prem to begin with. However, the mid-2000's brought about a variety of new innovations that would fundamentally change the IT infrastructure in most organizations.
For example, Mac and Linux began to break into the enterprise system market that had been dominated by Windows systems. Cloud applications like Salesforce started to replace on-prem applications like Oracle. Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers like AWS could even move the entire data center to the cloud. While these new innovations offered tremendous benefits for IT organizations, one consequence was that management with legacy identity providers like AD became a stumbling block.
Despite Microsoft's best efforts, the world is moving to heterogeneous system environments and cloud solutions. This is why the concept of a Mac GPO equivalent is so powerful, especially when backed by a comprehensive cloud identity management platform that is akin to Active Directory on-prem. Enter JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service.
JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service is Active Directory and LDAP reimagined. This hosted identity management solution securely manages and connects your users to their systems, applications, files, and networks. Through its diverse support of protocols, JumpCloud ensures any application, network, or file storage resource can be centrally controlled, whether on-prem or in the cloud. Add cross-OS support for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and JumpCloud is also able to ensure your system endpoints are secure.
By leveraging a cloud-based directory service, IT organizations can choose the best IT resources for the business, while off-loading the heavy lifting of managing an identity provider. Mac GPOs are a great example. JumpCloud adapts to your environment, putting control back in the hands of IT.
Watch our whiteboard presentation to learn more about JumpCloud Policies. You can also contact the JumpCloud team, or sign up for a Directory-as-a-Service account today to discover the benefits of GPO-like capabilities for Mac. Your first ten users are free forever to help you explore the full functionality of our platform at no cost.

NTT Security Launches Web Security as a Service (WSaaS) as part of its strategic partnership program with Symantec
NTT Security, the specialized security company of NTT Group, has announced it is ready to deliver its first unified service in partnership with Symantec Corporation. NTT Security, which announced its intention to enter into a strategic partnership in April, will integrate Symantec's cloud based security service with NTT Security's enhanced threat detection, providing Web Security as a Service (WSaaS).
WSaaS will be the first service offered through the partnership program, which was set up to bolster web security services to clients across the cloud, mobile and on-premise, and will be delivered as part of NTT Security's Global Managed Security Services. NTT Security has been developing various technologies to provide more sophisticated cloud based security services as part of the program.
The new service will provide real-time threat intelligence, analysis and protection, together with the management and security monitoring of cloud-based web security solutions. It has been designed by NTT Security and Symantec to reduce overall security risk, minimize the impact of security threats, and help clients meet compliance requirements. The service offloads the burden of real-time network and device monitoring, advanced security analysis and security management, allowing clients to focus on the timely delivery of higher quality secure IT services for their organization.
As a standard feature, WSaaS will provide risk ratings based on threat intelligence from both Symantec and NTT Security which will be more effective in providing enhanced security analysis and rapid deployment through both agent and agentless capabilities. NTT Security will holistically be able to handle logs from web security services as well as on-premise security appliances such as Proxy, Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System and Intrusion Detection System and Sandbox for enhanced correlated analysis. WSaaS is served on NTT Security's best-of-breed global managed security services platform, which enables security services with the same high quality across the globe.
Kazu Yozawa, Chief Technology Officer at NTT Security commented: "The unified service is a vital step towards reducing security complexity and accelerating our clients' digital transformation for their cloud journey. WSaaS delivers convenient cloud based security services with advanced threat detection and response. The advantages of cloud based security services are easy and enable swift deployment of secured internet access. The same controls and security policies can be applied to distributed locations covering all aspects of today's enterprise businesses from cloud and mobile through to on-premise."
Greg Clark, Symantec CEO commented: "The cloud presents tremendous opportunity for organizations, but also introduces a whole new set of security and compliance risks. Symantec has invested heavily in innovations and integrations of CASB, network security proxies and endpoint solutions to solve these cloud generation challenges. We are very proud to be partnering with NTT Security to deliver these innovations to our joint customers."
NTT Security will continue to develop state-of-the-art security solutions including using Symantec's cloud based sandbox and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) service, which are also planned for future release.

Each generation of Spiritual leaders was creatively responsible both to the ideals of Islam and to the demands of the age. The Way adapts itself to the needs of the moment and the form of the Way may change according to the time and place where it manifests on the Planet, but the form/essence stays the same. His Eminence has for more than three decades lit the lamp of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan al-Qadiri (may Allah be pleased with him) all around the world. He illuminated the world with the message and practical teachings of this great genius, poet, Sufi and Reviver of Islam, and has written numerous articles on both Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Sayyiduna Abdul Qadir Jilani (may Allah be pleased with him).
The Khanqah Qadiriya Razviya is a non-profit Islamic organization that was established in Mauritius in 1965 under the spiritual guidance and supervision His Eminence. Since 1965 the caravan of love and friendship has marched ahead chanting songs of peace and mutual understanding. We have however, taken every care to keep at bay caste-ridden, ethnic minded or political groupings who have personal agendas.

Oh Master!
What does Sunni Razvi mean? We uphold the doctrines of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat and obtain our inspiration from one of our spiritual mentors, the Great Revivalist of the 14th Century, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan al-Qadiri (may Allah be pleased with him). He was admitted to the Qadiri Sufi Order and was permitted to enroll and train neophytes and he had similar authority in 13 other Sufi orders.
Our members and seekers for Truth are brethren who follow the Qadiriyya Sufi Path. The Sultan of Saints, Shaikh Sayyiduna Abdul Qadir Jilani (may Allah be pleased with him) established the Tariqa, a sacred spiritual path leading to Almighty Allah through his most beloved Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace).
The members of this organization do not call themselves 'Barelwis' as Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (may Allah be pleased with him) did not start a new sect, or movement. Today our Sunni brethren in Tariqat and sympathizers of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan al-Qadiri (may his soul be sanctified) come from diverse cultures and can be found in cities of Las Vegas, London, Cape Town, Manchester, New York, Den Haag, Karachi, and various parts of the globe.
Hazrat Sayyiduna Abdul Qadir Jilani (may Allah sanctify his soul) said, "Woe unto you! You claim to be a Sufi, yet you are disturbed. The Sufi is one whose inward and outward have become pure and serene through the Book of Allah and the Sunna of the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessing be Upon Him). As his pure serenity increases he will further emerge from the sea of his existence and give up his will, choice and volition. When someone's heart becomes pure and serene, the Prophet (Peace and blessing be Upon Him) will become and ambassador between him and his Lord, as was Gabriel. The foundation of good is following the Prophet (Peace and blessing be Upon Him) in both his word and his deed. Whenever the heart of the servant becomes pure and serene, he will see the Prophet (Peace and blessing be Upon Him), commanding him to do this and prohibiting him from doing that. He will retire with full knowledge. He will become an innermost being with no publicity, pure serenity with no disturbance.
About 1000 years ago, a great Sufi teacher complained of the misunderstandings of his times when he said: "Sufism is a name without reality, but it use to be a reality without a name". Western education and rational logical thinking indicates that we have to name everything and Prof. Carl Ernst has pointed out in his book, 'The Shambala Guide to Sufism' that the actual term Sufism was given prominence not by the classical Islamic texts, but rather by British 'Orientalists', who wanted a word that would refer to the various inner dimensions of Islam that they found attractive and congenial and that would avoid the negative stereotypes associated with Islam itself - stereotypes that were often propagated by the same Orientalists.
As we enter a new century, we think of and thank the great multitude of Sunni Razvi brethren in Tariqat in so many different parts of the globe that have helped to create the Khanqah Qadiriya Razviya. Many great disciples and friends have pooled their efforts together to cement the bond of friendship under the umbrella of the Society from diversified ethnic cultures and professional backgrounds.


There are 7 girls in my sewing classes 12 years old and under. The younger ones, at age 10, need lots of help just getting everything set up. The two oldest ones, at age 12, have been taking classes for 2 years. They can thread a machine, but sewing straight still seems to be a problem. One girl is using a fabric that doesn't stay pressed. To help the fabric stay put, I had her sew with fusible thread in the bobbin. I think it works nicer than using fusible web. The seam is softer and I think it seems more like sewing than glueing two pieces of fabric together. I showed them all how to use a stylus when pressing. Sometimes when pressing under small bits, the fabric gets too hot to comfortably handle. I like using a stylus when I sew too. One girl asks for my short one when she sews. It is fun to see them all using notions and tools that took me years to discover.

What lucky girls to have you as a teacher!


After the facial, it was as if they shrank to half or a third of their original size. I'd been curious about extractions: Sarah Gorr is a travel editor. It's both confusing and fascinating to a person such as myself, who has only been washing her face with any regularity since she was Was it going to make me breakout? And really, What was I thinking?!
It still didn't hurt, but I admit I was glad when it was over.
I didn't just love it, I'm a total convert. I found this to be very comforting and informative! A slew of online think-pieces have cropped up everywhere from The Outline and Vox to The New Yorker and they're asking a lot of questions: Instead of a prick or a poke, it just felt like someone was pressing very, very hard on my face. Sarah Gorr is a travel editor. I'd always wanted to try one, and I wondered if it would be the panacea to erase my blackheads, minimize those pores, and give me that dewy glow everyone is so eager for.
