I'm an affiliate for the resources listed below. I currently use or have used all of them and love(d) them!
All I have to say is LastPass SAVES my life… EVERYday. (I'm being kinda dramatic but it's true.) 😉 LastPass is worth every penny I pay for it and then some.
Use Thrive Architect to create your marketing funnels. It's one of my favorite, favorite, favorite plugins. Create flawless, high-converting and extremely polished looking pages that take your visitors all the way from initial signup to purchase, product download and more.
If I could shout it from the mountaintops 24 hours a day 7 days a week I would… "Backup your website! Backup your website! Backup your website! Regularly. Don't just rely on hosting company backups." Wishing you had it when you need it is already too late. Since I first started using BlogVault some years ago, they've added many new features that have made it even better. And you can get a free trial to test it out. I'm sure you'll love it. This is one of my most favorite of all the tools.
I have several sites, including this one, that I don't need (or prefer) managed WordPress hosting on so I decided to move them to Siteground. On top of the standard features like free domain names, 24/7 technical support, 99.9% uptime, etc., they add their own custom-made solutions to make your website faster, safer, and better supported than anywhere else.
I've used a few different membership site plugins before, including Digital Access Pass, WP Member and OptimizePress. MemberMouse is by far the simplest I've had the pleasure of using. Set up is fast, features are rich and the price is not expensive for starters. If you've been stuck launching your membership program because you don't know which tech tools to use, this is a great plugin. As an "own your assets" advocate, I prefer using a WordPress plugin for a membership vs. third-party services. One thing to note is that a standard membership site is different than a course builder or learning management system (LMS) that usually includes a more "modules and lessons" type layout, quizzes, certifications and the like.
I've used different tools to make landing and sales pages including Ontraport and Thrive Architect (as mentioned above). I even use just a custom page template in my WordPress theme for some things too (sometimes drag-n-drop builders just don't give me the level of customization that I want). I started out using Ontraport to try to build out an eCommerce funnel with my Shopify store. It was not ideal and kinda tedious. Then I found Zipify Pages and absolutely loved it (I'm not really a fan of ClickFunnels)! The app integrates directly with your Shopify store. They have pre-made templates that are great out-the-box, as well as the ability to make custom pages using their "blocks". Definitely worth the investment.
I'm kind of a WordPress snob :)… BUT.. I actually LOVE Shopify for eComm sites (because WooCommerce just makes me tired :/).

SERIAL STORY
WHAT WE'RE GONNA TALK
Just like in a cafe, we talk about everything. Nothing heavy. Just talk over a cup of coffee.
KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW ENOUGH, THEN GET TO WORK
"If you're interested, you'll do what's convenient. If you're committed, you'll do whatever it takes."
– John Assaraf
About a month ago, I attended a seminar filled with many of today's current marketing ideas… replacing the hourly model, leveraging programs and packages, utilizing automation and optimizing social media. I've been reading and taking courses in this area for years, but am always eager to learn more.
On the first day, a rather frustrated woman shared the impact her work was having on her marriage. No matter what she did, no matter how she tried to implement balance, she was getting nowhere. She was too much of a workaholic she said, and nothing she'd done over almost a decade seemed to be able to change that, to the detriment of both her career and relationship.
Until that point, I'd been diligently taking notes and imagining how I'd implement the ideas in my own practice. Yet as this woman spoke and interacted with the leader, my mind began to drift to thoughts about my own marriage, a relationship that really works in my life. And I started to imagine that everything being discussed was actually about relationships and it hit me… little we were talking about would have been remotely helpful.
Why? Because all of the tools, techniques, and tricks in the world won't help a person who is not committed to an extraordinary relationship and willing to do whatever it takes to have one. The same was true for those of us in that room unwilling to do whatever it takes to bring our businesses to the next level.
This isn't to say that people don't need or benefit from acquiring new information or specific tool sets (or communities in which to learn and share). Of course we do, every one of us, in every area of life.
Yet that information—any information—only becomes useful when we implement it.
So long as this woman—whether consciously or otherwise—remains committed to white-knuckle controlling her career, as well as putting her marriage second, no amount of knowledge will result in a change. Her commitment needs to shift, and only then can any tools and techniques become helpful in both her career and marriage.
I see this all the time in my work with performers. Just last week, I was working with a tenor who knows exactly what to do to get the results he wants with his voice. We'd worked a few years ago to remove some tensions that had been vocally holding him back, and since that time, he's been singing beautifully and touring the country on high profile and paying jobs.
Yet when he walked through my door last Wednesday, he was overwhelmed with frustration. Different coaches, singers, and books he'd read on the road all had different ideas and advice on the voice that left him confused… how could he take the next step in his career with all of this intellectual uncertainty? Perhaps he needed to stop performing for a while so that he could dedicate himself to better understanding these different perspectives…
Hearing him sing confirmed my suspicions that the confusion wasn't in any way vocal, which enabled us to tackle the real cause of his overwhelm: gathering more information seems a lot less nerve-wracking than making the next move in his career by stepping up to the biggest stages in town and indeed, the world.
Whether we're performers or business owners, a good number of us don't need any more information to achieve our goals. Instead, we need to commit to taking action and then actually do so, regardless of how nervous we might be about playing a much bigger game.
The next time you want to improve in an area of your life, ask yourself: "Do I really need more information, or do I just need to pluck up the courage to act?" This is particularly true in the areas we've been working on for a long, long time… Are we really benefitting from more courses, coaching, and guidance, or are we just not yet sick and tired enough of the status quo to make a change?
This self-inquiry into what's really going on is often worth far more than all the seminars in the world. The choice and commitment to put your family first… to take bold action in your business or community… to claim responsibility for a talent and your stewardship of it in the face of any fear or uncertainty… These course corrections happen in a moment, after which we each have a lifetime to acquire whatever information and tools we may need to help us get there more powerfully.

Dickinson College Names Full-Time Director of Asbell Center for Jewish Life/
Dickinson College Names Full-Time Director of Asbell Center for Jewish Life
Photo by Carl Socolow '77.
Rabbi Marley Weiner brings fresh perspective to Dickinson's Jewish community
by Kandace Kohr
The Milton B. Asbell Center for Jewish Life has named Rabbi Marley Weiner its first full-time director since the center's 2003 inception. An Abington, Pennsylvania, native, Weiner joins the college from the University of Binghamton, where she was the first female Hillel rabbi in the university's history and spent two years there as the senior Jewish educator.
A liberal-arts college graduate herself, Weiner is excited to make Dickinson her new home. "I love [the liberal-arts] environment," she says. "As I was learning more about Dickinson, the commitment to sustainability was really awesome, and I'm grateful to work in a place that's truly living out some values that are very important to me."
In her new role, Weiner will oversee the Asbell Center and its cultural events and Jewish Life. She also will serve as the head supervisor of the kashrut at the KOVE, a kosher kitchen and serving counter within Dickinson's Dining Hall. "In part, a lot of this [new position] is about really listening to students and their needs," she says. "I'm a big believer in student-led culture, because this is their Jewish community, and I think it's really important that they feel heard and seen and valued and part of the process."
Accordingly, Weiner plans to shift the center's programming to better reflect how students draw connections between their faith, traditions and everyday life. "How do we reach out to where students are emotionally and spiritually?" she asks. "What kind of person do they want to be in the world? What's my connection to my history, to my family, to my family's past?"
For now, Rabbi Weiner looks forward to meeting the students once they return to campus. "I think there's a lot of excitement around this change of having a full-time director, and I'm really excited to be the person who shepherds that change," she says.

Nigerian government illegaly imposed electricity tariffs on Nigerians
The new increased electricity tariff rolled out on February 1 by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, was illegally imposed on consumers, an icirnigeria.org investigation has shown.
The agency implemented the new tariff, which increased charges for electricity consumption by 55 per cent to 65 per cent, in defiance of the law setting it up.
The federal government may be compelled to pay back to Nigerians the increased rate they have paid to electricity supply since February 1 when the new tariff regime took effect.
Specifically, the announcement of the new tariffs breached Section 76 sub sections 6, 7 and 9 of the Electric Power Sector Reform Act of 2005.
Section 76 (6) requires the NERC to gazette any review of existing tariff methodology before it comes into effect.
The Act states: "Prior to approving a tariff methodology, the Commission shall give notice in the official Gazette, and in one or more newspapers with wide circulation, of the proposed establishment of a tariff methodology, indicating the period within which objections or representations in connection with the same may be made to the Commission."
By that section, the regulatory agency ought not only to have given notice in a gazette but also in newspapers with wide circulation and even given room for the public to make comments and objections before the new charges could take effect.
In Section 76 (7), the law further reinforces the need for wide consultations before such new tariffs can take effect.
Section 76 (7) envisages that in preparing a new tariff methodology, the agency would "(a) consider representations made by license applicants, other licensees, consumers, eligible consumers, consumer associations, associations of eligible consumers and such other persons as it consider necessary or desirable."
Subsection 7 "(b) evidence, information or advice from any person who, in the Commission's opinion possesses expert knowledge which is relevant to the preparation of the methodology."
Furthermore, Section 76 (9) states: "If it appears to the Commission that a tariff methodology should be changed, the Commission shall give notice in the Official Gazette, and in one or more newspapers with wide circulation of the proposal to change the methodology, indicating the period within which representations in connection with the proposal may be made".
Of all these legal requirements, the only one fully complied with by NERC was that it announced the new tariff in the newspaper.
It did not give any notice in a gazette as spelt out by the Act. Furthermore, from the outcry and opposition which the imposition of the new tariff generated among the general public, including the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, Manufacturers' Association of Nigeria, MAN, and the House of Representatives Committee on Power, which passed a resolution barring NERC from increasing tariff, it is obvious that the agency did not do enough consultations.
The NERC announced the new tariff methodology in December, 2015 with increased charges for electricity consumption, although it removed a controversial monthly fixed charge on retail consumption.
Announcing the new tariff, then chairman of NERC, Sam Amadi, said that the new Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO) was for a 10-year period between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2024.
But it effectively took off on February 1, 2016.
With the new tariff, consumers under the residential classification (R2) in Abuja would have to pay N24.30 per kwh instead of 14.70 per kwh for electricity, an increase of N9.60 or 65 per cent, although they would no longer pay the fixed charge of N702.
Customers under Commercial classification (C1) had their tariff increased to N36.65 per kwh from N23.61 per kwh, a difference of N13.04 or 55 per cent.
In the same vein, residential consumers are paying more in Eko (N10), Ikeja (N8), Kaduna (N11.05), Benin (N9.26) and other electricity distribution areas.
Organised Labour kicked against the new tariff regime as soon as it was announced with the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba, saying it is a rip off.
"Congress considers as illegal, unfair, unjustifiable and a further exploitation of the already exploited Nigerians, the 45 per cent increase in electricity," the labour leader declared, threatening that workers would be called out on a nationwide protest to force a reversal.
The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, MAN, also rejected the new tariffs and said that it would fight it in court.
MAN president, Peter Jacob, expressed surprise that NERC went ahead to introduce the new tariff, observing that there is a subsisting court injunction restraining the agency from imposing the tariffs.
The icirnigeria.org learnt that a meeting called by NERC's acting chairman, Anthony Akah, with the MAN management to explain the new tariffs, was rebuffed as members of the organisation insisted that they would not discuss a matter that is before the courts.
When our reporter spoke to MAN's director of communications, Israel Osadipe, last week Wednesday, he said that the association was still opposed to the tariff and had not changed its position because the case is in court.
He added, however, that members of MAN were having discussions "at an informal level" with stakeholders, including NERC, about the matter.
The House of Representative too stood stoutly in opposition against the new tariffs and passed a resolution directing NERC not to go ahead with the new charges until it concluded investigations into the activities of the commission and distribution companies, Discos.
After the tariffs took effect, the House Committee on Power invited the NERC management to explain why its directives were flouted.
It was gathered that the regulatory agency has since explained its stand to the legislative House, telling members that it was doing exactly what the National Assembly set it up to do.
In defence of the NERC, a source told this website that the agency had, indeed done its work which is to send the new tariff regime to the office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice whose responsibility it is to gazette the information.
"NERC has done its bit. When the need for a review exits, we consult with all stakeholders and then come up with new tariffs. We then send the tariff to the Ministry of Justice for them to gazette. We did that since the early in the year," the source, who does not want to be named, said.
However, the Director of Press in the office Ministry of Justice, Charles Nwodo, said that the impression given by the NERC source was wrong and that it is not the responsibility of the ministry to gazette anything for government agencies.
"The fact is that if they are going to gaztte it (the new tariffs), it is the government press that will gazette it. It is the responsibility of the Government Press. The Ministry of Justice is to give approval. The process is that they send their proposal, it is vetted by the Ministry of Justice and sent back to them for onward transmission to the Government Press. It is the Federal Government Press that will gazette it.
Asked if the ministry had received the new tariffs from the NERC for approval before being sent to the Government Press for vetting, Nwodo said he was not aware that any tariffs sent to the ministry for approval.
He asked for time to find out if the ministry ever received such a request from the electricity regulatory agency but had not done so until the time of going to press.

We are delighted to announce that the 2018-19 series will be sponsored by Alto Jaguar Land Rover. Each week, one lucky skipper will win the chance to drive a car for the weekend. Our sponsors are also pleased to renew their special offer to RSYS Members: a $1000 credit to your House Account when you purchase a new or demonstrator vehicle between now and 27 April 2019 and $500 credit for a pre-owned car.
The series got off to a cheerful, if damp, start on Friday 12 October. School holidays and heavy rain reduced the fleet considerably - there were just 36 boats on the water all keen for the chance to win the Land Rover for the Weekend prize. Alexander Hamilton of Coco, above, was the lucky winner this week, congratulations.
RSYS members Will Cooley and Evie Haseldine are currently lying 5th overall with four more races to be sailed in the 2018 Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games mixed multi hull event.
This is the third Youth Olympic Games and includes 100 sailors from 44 different nations sailing in five events. Racing is being held out of Club Náutico San Isidro in the Argentine capital and includes debuts for two classes – Girls' and Boys' Kiteboarding (Twin Tip Racing) and the Mixed Multihull (Nacra 15). The Girls' and Boys' Windsurfing (Techno 293+) has returned for its third consecutive Games.
Conditions are challenging with the wind difficult to read on the 'chocolate' coloured water. The course area is also affected by a strong current flowing in and out from Río Paraná, Argentina's largest river at more than 4,800 km long, that is just north of the sailing venue.
In race 1, the committee showed its intentions and five boats were declared UFD and disqualified for being over the line in the last minute before the start.
The Australian Nacra team have been sailing consistently in a fleet with very tight racing, especially in the stronger breezes. Quite often the top ten boats are finishing within 40 seconds of each other.
At the start of race 8 the Australians were involved with an incident with the Austrian Team. Unfortunately the Australian boat was damaged and taking on water for Races 8 and 9. After submitting a request for redress, the jury decided to protest both AUT and AUS to establish the facts. AUT was then disqualified from Race 8 and AUS awarded redress for races 8 and 9 as their performance was made significantly worse through no fault of their own.
The team had a lay day today and will be on the water for the next two days to complete the series.
The Australian contingent L to R: Ryan Palk (Coach), Will Cooley & Evie Haseldine (RSYS Nacra 15), Hailey Lee (Windsurfer), Mani Bisschops (Kiteboard), Alex Halank (Windsurfer), RSYS Captain Karyn Gojnich (Sailing Team Manager).
Winners will be announced at the awards dinner on 19 October. Good luck all!
and parents had ever been to.
RSYS was represented by more than 30 young sailors in classes ranging from Optimists, Laser 4.7s, Laser Radials, Bic Technos (windsurfer), Nacra 15s (catamarans) and 420s.
This was one of the biggest ever representations by the RSYS Youth Fleet and showed the strength of our program, not just at club level, but at a state and national level, and we came away with some great results.
- Zac West won a tightly contested Laser Radial class, with all the RSYS sailors inside the top 15.
- In the Laser 4.7s RSYS claimed the trifecta with Brooke Wilson 1st, Mina Ferguson 2nd and Daniel Costandi 3rd.
- Ryan Littlechild and Jack Ferguson claimed 2nd and Gretel Payne 7th in the 420s.
- Vaughn O'Shea came 4th in the Bic Techno.
- Rohan Stannage in his first regatta in the Nacra 15s finished 7th.
- Vidhi Gupta, Tom Flannery, Viraj Gupta and Charlie Whitnall all sailed in Green fleet for the first time and finished in the top 12.
- Several sailors all moved up a fleet with seven sailors all moving through to Intermediate and Open Fleets.
The off-water action was also a geat success and greatly enjoyed by all. We booked accommodation at Point Wolstonecroft Sport and Recreation camp and 36 sailors and their families stayed in the lodges for group dinners and activities. Plenty of interclub, interclass and even parent vs child competitions went on after sailing. Basketball, Disc Golf and Giant Chess were just a few of the challenges that were put out to the team. Rumour has it one father even had to retire, claiming an injury after too much Disc Golf!
We would like to thank Youth Sailing Chair Niki O'Shea for organising the food for such a large group - by all accounts the food was top grade and there are calls for you to start your own catering company.
The next event on the Calendar is the first round of the RSYS Club Championship on 21 October, followed by the Youth Season Opening dinner to which everyone is invited. Click here for more information on the dinner.

The Life and Thought of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
February , 2015 March , 2015 admin Biography
Perspective Desk
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1873-1960) was a prominent Islamic teacher and scholar who, in the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, joined in the desperate debates over how to save the Empire and restore its power. He put forward many original solutions, most of which were in the field of education. He was a firm believer in science and modernization, but in the light of the Qur'an. For Nursi, it was the Qur'an and Islam that could provide the principles for true human progress rather than philosophies of human origin. He divided his life into two main periods, the first of which coincided with the final decades of the Ottoman Empire. This he called the period of the Old Said. The New Said emerged following the Ottoman defeat in the First World War, and continued through the first four decades of the TurkishRepublic(founded 1923). Nursi considered more significant the second period of his life, during which he wrote the Risale-i Nur, which he described as the fruit of his lifelong study and research.
This paper will outline briefly the main events of Nursi's life, describe the writing of the Risale-i Nur and offer a brief analysis of its distinctive features. This will be in the context of faith or belief, the revitalization of which was his primary aim, and will be followed by examples of his approach to moral renewal. After a short discussion about reconciliation, an aim implicit in many of Nursi's ideas and projects, the paper will conclude with a few words about the Nur movement.
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi was bornin the villageof Nursin BitlisProvincein eastern Anatoliain 1877. From his earliest years he was exceptional. This showed itself by firstly,his displaying an instinctive dissatisfaction with the existing educational system, and secondly, after spending only brief periods in local medreses (religious schools), at the age of only fourteen or fifteen his being awarded the diploma for completing the established course of study. This was in Dogubayezid, having attended the medrese there for only three months. That is to say, the young Said had both a phenomenal power of memory and an extraordinary ability to absorb knowledge.
It was because of his extraordinary feats of learning that sometime after this he was given the name Bediuzzaman, which means "Wonder of the Age."
Educational Reform
Said remained in his native eastern Anatoliatill the end of 1907 when he set out for Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Until that time, he continued his study of the traditional Islamic sciences, and in distinction to the ulema of the region, acquired wide knowledge of modern science. He was concerned too with updating the Islamic sciences, particularly kelâm(theology), as the main means of answering doubts and criticisms raised about Islam, and tefsir (Qur'anic exegesis), the main means of expounding its beliefs. He published works in this field.
His large-scale project for educational reform, which included the combined teaching of the Islamic and physical sciences, specialization, the democratization of the educational system, and many other forward-looking measures, was his main concern in this early period. The heart of his project was the founding of a school or university in eastern Anatoliacalled the Medresetü'z-Zehra. At that time of rising European dominance and the steady encroachment of Western civilization, and loss of Ottoman power, Nursi believed education to be the most effective way of maintaining the unity of the Empire and securing its progress.
1911 – DamascusSermon
In the spring of 1911, on the invitation of the Damascusulema Said Nursi gave a sermon in the famous Umayyad Mosque. His main message for the thousands who attended was one of hope. He predicted that contrary to present expectations Islamic civilization and the Qur'an would dominate the future, and he offered a number of remedies from "the pharmacy of the Qur'an" which would assist in realizing this. These remedies were primarily concerned with ethics and morality. That is to say, in his view moral renewal was another essential dimension of the struggle to achieve the progress and unity of the Islamic world.
1914-1918 – The First World War
Nursi and the militia force he raised and trained played a valiant part in the jihad against the Russian invasion of eastern Anatolia in 1914, but such was the importance he attached to his educational projects that even on the front he continued to teach his students and write his celebrated Qur'anic commentary Isharat al-I?jaz. He was captured after the fall of Bitlis in March 1916 and sent to Kosturma on the Volga. He escaped in early 1918 and returned to Istanbul.
1918-1922 – Istanbuland the Emergence of the New Said
Nursi was severely shaken by the rigours of the War and the Ottoman defeat that followed it. But despite his inner turmoil he combated the occupying forces with his pen and until 1920 was actively engaged in public life. On his return he was appointed to the Darü'l-Hikmeti'l-Islamiye, a learned establishment attached to the Seyhü'l-Islam's Office that had been set up to tackle the problems now facing Muslims. He published a number of works on various subjects, mostly topical. Following this he withdrew into solitude and undergoing a profound mental and spiritual transformation emerged as the New Said.
The New Said was characterized by his withdrawal from public life and his devotion to the Qur'an alone. He now gave primacy to divine revelation over reason. He centred his life and thought on the Qur'an and in the course of time developed a method of explaining and proving its teachings related to the fundamental questions of belief. His aim was to find an effective way of strengthening the faith of the Muslims of Turkey in the face of changing conditions and the new regime that was established after the founding of the Republic in 1923.
In 1923, Nursi was offered various posts in the first republican government, which he refused since his views on the best course to be followed were at odds with those of the new leaders. It had been his intention to assist in remaking Turkeya centre of Islamic civilization. Two years later he was sent into internal exile in western Anatolia, where he was held for the next twenty-five years. He was eventually sent to Barla, a isolated village in IspartaProvince.
1926-1950 – Years of Exile and Imprisonment
The Ankaraauthorities thought that having disappeared from the public view, Said Nursi would just fade away and be forgotten about. But they were mistaken: in the eight years he spent in Barla, he wrote the greater part of the collection of works called the Risale-i Nur and attracted many students and helpers, despite the hardships and surveillance under which he was held.
A Short Digression about the Risale-i Nur
The Risale-i Nur is a multi-volume collection of writings the purpose of which is to offer conclusive proofs of the main teachings of the Qur'an related to faith and worship while at the same time refuting the basic assumptions and concepts of materialistic philosophy. Bediuzzaman developed a method that, at a time of rapid secularization when the Ottoman educational institutions had all been swept away and the people had been left with no means of religious instruction, brought together traditional Islamic sciences and modern sciences and aimed to perform their essential functions in proving and explicating the basic truths of faith. He endeavoured also to inculcate a view of existence derived from the Qur'an.
The basis of his method is reasoning reflective thought on the natural world: viewing the world as a book the letters and words of which are the beings we see around us, Nursi teaches us how to read them so as to gain knowledge of their Inscriber and Maker. In doing this, he is actually expounding the many verses of the Qur'an that describe the divine acts in the universe and call on men to ponder over them. He points out the mutually interpretative relationship between the Qur'an and the created world: the revealed Qur'an interprets the book of the universe and instructs man how to read the words of beings "inscribed by the Pen of Power" on its pages, while by expressing the same meanings in physical form, the universe becomes a sort of embodied Qur'an. The reading and comprehension of the embodied Qur'an words lead to a deeper understanding of the written Qur'an's verses.
Observing the beings of the universe in this way, Nursi discloses numerous truths about the universe and man, and their purposes and functions, and from these deduces very many proofs of and arguments for what what he calls "the truths of faith." These truths, God's existence and unity, and attributes and names, the resurrection of the dead, prophethood, and so on, are thus seen to be the logical conclusion of the Qur'anic view of the universe. The main tenets of faith are not therefore abstract facts divorced from life and reality that a believer has to assimilate from outside; they are living truths that spring naturally out of existence itself, of which man himself is a part.
With this method, which time does not allow us to discuss in further detail, Nursi hoped to gain for people the unshakeable faith he called "iman-i tahkikî," which may be translated as affirmative faith or faith by investigation. He felt that it was only such faith that could withstand the assaults of modernity and scepticism of materialistic science. Scattered through the Risale-i Nur are many discussions of belief and of man and his comprehensive nature. Just as Nursi seeks to show that man's true happiness and progress are to be found through the teachings of the Qur'an, so he is at pains to demonstrate that as divine revelation it provides a valid explanation of existence and human life, whereas the basic postulates of what he calls human philosophy are invalid and untenable.
Besides educating in the broadest sense and raising religious consciousness with the Risale-i Nur, Nursi hoped to effect moral renewal and the strengthening of society from the bottom up. For he predicted that the imposition of the alien cultural norms of modernity would lead eventually to the dissolution of society and even to anarchy.
Nursi's Approach to Ethics and Moral Renewal
Having seen a small part of Nursi's method relating to the renewal and strengthening of faith, we shall now take a brief look at his approach to moral renewal, its corollary. Essentially his approach is to present moral precepts and values as a part of the whole (holistic) Qur'anic order or system. The precepts of "justice, frugality, and cleanliness" may be taken as an example:
To show how basic these three qualities are to human life, Nursi points out how they are manifested in the cosmos as universal laws and govern in all beings. Briefly, the wisdom (hikmet – purpose) apparent throughout the universe "turns on economy and lack of waste," commanding man to be frugal. And the justice and balance in all things enjoin justice on him. While the constant cleansing "cleans and beautifies all the beings in the universe. So long as man … does not interfere," he says, "there is no true uncleanliness or ugliness in anything." In this way Nursi points out how closely connected these Qur'anic injunctions and Islamic principles are with the universe, and that it would be as impossible to uproot them as it would be to change the universe's form. That is to say, he convincingly shows that if one acts contrarily to them, one does so in defiance of the whole universe.
Thanks and gratitude to Almighty God are another example. In a short piece entitled On Thanks, Nursi cites some of the many Qur'anic verses enjoining thanks, and demonstrates how both the written Qur'an and the Qur'an of the universe "show thanks to be the most important result of creation."
Another universal principle or law that Nursi explains, this time to berate the idle and urge the lazy to work, is that of the pleasure to be found in exertion and work. He illustrates his point persuasively with a series of delightful examples from the animal, vegetable, and mineral realms.
Nursi's vision of the cosmos also connects man to all beings, revealing the existential brotherhood and love between him and all things.
Many of the moral qualities that Nursi wishes to impress on his readers, he explains within the framework of his comparisons between the ways of revelation and philosophy, contrasting them with their opposites. At the base of these is the concept of ubûdiyet, which may be translated as worshipful servitude or service of Almighty God, and is the worshipful attitude that a believer adopts when he internalizes the Qur'anic (harfî) viewpoint. Ethics are of course an inseparable part of religion, or even the same thing, and proceed directly from belief. Thus, in other contexts Nursi links desirable qualities with a particular tenet of belief. For example, he enjoins "contentment and resignation" on himself when suffering his unjust imprisonment since it was divinely determined (kader), and to meet it with "endless thanks and patience" since it was also necessitated by divine wisdom and mercy, and even to magnanimously forgive the officials responsible.
The Nur Community
The Nur movement or community slowly formed around Nursi's writings as his students, who consisted of the local people in his places of exile, devoted themselves to writing them out and disseminating them. Nursi avoided a confrontational stance and adopted one of disengagement and withdrawal. During this period, he evinced no interest in social and political matters, and strongly advised the Nur students to do likewise and to concentrate all their energies on their service of the Qur'an. The importance he attached to restoring the Qur'an with its God-centred world-view to the centre of everyday life in the way described, led Nursi to resolutely eschew political struggle and to instil in the Nur students the principle of positive action. This entailed pursuing their activities peaceably and avoiding any actions that might lead to social conflict or friction.
Despite this, it was not till the single party era came to an end and the Democrat Party came to power in 1950 that the restrictions on Nursi were lifted and he was theoretically free to move around as he wished. The freer conditions also saw a considerable expansion in the Risale-i Nur movement, especially after 1956 when for the first time the Risale-i Nur was printed on modern presses in the Latin alphabet. Previously to this only the Arabic/Ottoman script had been used.
A large number of dershanes, that is, houses where people met to read the Risale-i Nur, were opened all over the country.
Very many young people now started to read it, and it became very popular with teachers and students in the universities and schools.
Despite his increasing years and poor health, Said Nursi continued to devote himself to publication of the Risale-i Nur, and also received the large numbers of people who came to visit him, mostly from within Turkeyand some from the Islamic world.
The Risale-i Nur now began to spread among Muslims of other countries, and it was Nursi's hope that it would be a means both of strengthening unity between Muslims, and also of general peace and reconciliation between believers of different religious traditions. Particularly following the Second World War and the rise of aggressive atheism, he believed that all peoples and countries which upheld the principles and beliefs of revealed religion should be reconciled and make joint efforts to combat what he called "the spiritual and moral depradations" of atheism and materialism. In the 1950's, in so far as conditions allowed, he himself took practical steps to realize such a reconciliation. These mostly took the form of his having copies of the Risale-i Nur sent all over the world. For instance, copies were sent not only to the Imam of the Berlin Mosque and the Pakistani ambassador, but also to the Pope in Rome, from whom he received a note of thanks, dated 22nd February, 1951. It is also recorded that copies sent to Germanywere advertised in the newspapers, and were read with interest by Christians. Then in the spring of 1953 Bediuzzaman paid a courtesy visit to the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Istanbul, Patriarch Athenagoras. These and other actions show the importance he attached to establishing relations at this time. One other aspect of this matter may be mentioned briefly here. It concerns the Risale-i Nur and the nature of the knowledge it contains.
As was mentioned at the beginning of this paper, the combined teaching of the traditional Islamic sciences and modern physical sciences had been one of Bediuzzaman's aims since his youth. The rapid course of events in that early period of his life prevented his realizing his projects for educational reform, but when he started to write the Risale-i Nur in the 1920s and 30s many of his ideas found expression in the work and his projects were realized in different form. Among these were the incorporation of scientific facts in his proofs of the tenets of faith. The point I want to make here is that in 1955 towards the end of his life, in a letter explaining the importance for general reconciliation of his proposals for educational reform, he voiced his hopes that just as these proposals would lead to the reconciliation of science and religion on an academic level, so they would be a means whereby "European civilization would be completely reconciled with the truths of Islam." If we understand from this important statement, which appears nowhere else in his works, that he is equating modern science with Western civilization and the religious sciences with Islam, it gives us a clue as to why he hoped that the Risale-i Nur, which embodies these ideas and incorporates them in its numerous decisive proofs of the fundamentals of religion, would be found useful by followers of other religious traditions, thus being a means of unity and reconciliation.
In fact, such was the importance he gave to co-operation in combating the harms of aggressive atheism that in his writings of the time Nursi calls upon "those who work for the good of mankind" generally to unite in addition to religiously-minded people. For he considered disbelief of that kind to be "a human disaster" that gains its greatest power from destroying the human spiritual faculties and eliminating moral and religious values, thus causing social decay and paving the way to anarchy. As though in anticipation of this, with the Risale-i Nur he had developed a new comprehensive method of religious instruction that addressed ordinary people and aimed to raise believers who both possessed a firm faith supported by knowledge grounded in the conceptions of divine revelation, and were aware of the essential invalidity of materialist philosophy and able to meet its challenges.
Bediuzzaman always deflected attention away from himself towards the Risale-i Nur and wanted his students and followers to look to his writings for guidance rather than to himself. This proved to be very far-sighted, for in consequence the community that grew up around the Risale-i Nur was a text-based movement. Being text-based rather than traditionally leader or shaykh-oriented, also gave the Nur movement a modern character and allowed individual engagement with the text and access to religious knowledge which had previously been the domain of an elite of religious scholars. It thus democratized such knowledge. This characteristic also allowed the Risale-i Nur to remain popular among successive generations despite the ongoing social and cultural transformation. As a text, it was also amenable to profiting from advances in printing and communications technology, facilitating its publication and dissemination as political conditions eased. In this way Bediuzzaman ensured the continued popularity of his works and the progressive realization of his hopes for reconciliation.

Dynasty Warriors Formula Provides Big-Time Action
Posted on 11 Mar 2021 by videogamersadvocate
In February, I finally decided to explore what the Dynasty Warriors hype was all about with Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends.
I had long been curious about the Dynasty Warriors series. In the past, I never gave the games much thought because my interest was always in other games. My gaming past typically consisted of focusing on just a few genres that brought me consistent enjoyment. They were sports, RPGs, shooters, and fighters. Those four genres dominated my game choices and preferences until I started to expand my gaming horizons over the past few years. So while Dynasty Warriors may be old news to many gamers, it represents breaking new ground for me. And I'm having a grand ol' time.
My familiarity with Koei Tecmo (formerly just Koei when I was younger) goes back to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The strategy games were great for a thinking man's game, but I found myself craving the action that would have been part of the story. Little did I know that Koei, along with its in-house developer, Omega Force, would eventually come up with a hack-and-slash concept that would highlight the battles of the time period the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series took place. But Dynasty Warriors wasn't on my radar so as Koei was publishing game after game, I didn't even notice. Today, not only do they have multiple series with the signature gameplay, but they have also collaborated with other developers to bring the hack-and-slash style to life in other gaming franchises that had never experienced it before.
Persona 5 mixed with Dynasty Warriors gameplay makes for an outstanding combination.
When I first saw Persona 5 Strikers, I was fully persuaded it was a game that I needed to own. While the Japanese role-playing battle style of Persona 5 Royal was terrific in offering a variety of ways to dispose of your enemies, it still had to wait-and-a-select-an-option feel. If you didn't press a button, the battle menu would stay on the screen and all the characters would just stand in place. Sometimes, I want to feel like I'm in the midst of a battle. That is why Persona 5 Strikers initially appealed to me. I could move about the screen and pull off moves in an action game sort of way. Koei Tecmo is to thank for this because without their collaboration and without creating the Dynasty Warriors style, a game like Persona 5 Strikers would not exist today. And without Persona 5 Strikers, I would not have been curious enough to look up what Dynasty Warriors was all about.
CDKeys.com had Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition on sale for under $20. It was the best price I had seen for the game anywhere. I picked that particular title because when I researched Dynasty Warriors, users were consistently recommending it. In short, I was not disappointed. The gameplay is easy to pick up on and soon I was sending hordes of enemies flying with my combo attacks. I know for some gamers who have played the series over the years, by now the action may feel repetitive. But for a newbie like myself, it was spectacular. This is the type of game I play when I just want to take on a whole bunch of enemies at once and just have a field day. Sometimes, those are the most satisfying games to play.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has Dynasty Warriors written all over it, and that's a good thing.
I will make my next statement without hesitation. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is the best Zelda game that I've played. This in no way diminishes the excellence of Zelda games from the original NES game hrough The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I have always dreamed of a Zelda game that was more action-based with Link and Zelda just giving their opposition all they could handle and more. With the Hyrule Warriors series, I received my wish. Yet I prefer the Breath of the Wild art style compared to the original Hyrule Warriors. Like Persona 5 Strikers, I appreciate how Age of Calamity implemented the nuances of Breath of the Wild so that it feels like the two games are connected in the same universe. Just like the Persona abilities are mixed into the Dynasty Warriors style in Persona 5 Strikers, the same is true in Age of Calamity with the Sheikah Slate.
If Koei Tecmo keeps these wonderful collaborations going, then I will continue to give my support. I also want to give a special mention to another Koei Tecmo game, Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom. if you are familiar with the anime, you will appreciate zipping across the city with the omnidirectional mobility gear in this game and using the weapons from the series to take down the Titans. This game is based on the anime's first season. Attack on Titan 2 covers the second season.
As you have probably perceived from reading this post, I'm a fan of Koei Tecmo's work with the Dynasty Warriors series and how it has merged successfully with other brands. All of the games that I've mentioned in this post are ones I highly recommend, particularly if you're into the hack-and-slash experience the games provide. I was playing Age of Calamity the other day and didn't want to stop because I was having a blast. These are the types of games that will have me happily grinding for hours.

A few weeks ago, Facebook's stocks plummeted, hard.
In fact, it had been falling little by little since Mark Zuckerberg last made a public announcement regarding the scandal involving Cambridge Analytica and the 2016 election back in March. But that absence did not make the heart grow fonder, and instead, as Facebook started rolling out changes to the platform over the summer, on July 26th, both audiences and Wall Street reacted in kind—with Facebook's stock taking the biggest single-day tumble in stock market history.
So what was the damage? The social network's stocks fell a full 19 percent, kicking Zuckerberg off of the list of top five richest people in the world. In one day, Zuckerberg himself lost $16 billion dollars. That's billion with a 'B'.
No, this isn't another article about politics. Instead, we're going to be talking about how this will affect both marketers and users alike, and why this drop is happening so suddenly—even after news about the 2016 election broke, well, a few years ago. So let's start with the marketers.
Marketers have been using Facebook in a myriad of ways, for years. We use it organically, yes, but its paid function is really where it's at. For the last few years, Facebook has made its money off of the pay-to-play model, sequestering organic posts to the dim light of the internet graveyard, and boosting paid posts into the spotlight.
And for a long time, it worked. That is, until the 2016 election.
On July 1st, marketers could no longer create or edit existing campaigns using "non-EU Partner Categories". These ads would just run and exist until September 30th.
Many marketers are left with categories that target users based off of interests, many of which just aren't as razor sharp as previous targeting parameters would allow.
For all the obvious reasons, of course. No longer will users be targeted by those looking to profit off of behaviors (at least not as much as with previous years, anyway) — which was a huge sticking point for many frustrated by Facebook's involvement in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
In previous months and years, marketers could track campaigns based off of predictions, such as "Behavior > Likely to Move > in the next 6 months" or "Behaviors > Charitable Donations". Marketers could target you if your Anniversary was within 61 - 90 days, if you spent your budget with credit cards, cash only, or with high-end department store cards; Facebook could target your investing habits, your banking practices, they could even tell if you'd recently traveled. Facebook had the ability to understand its users at a highly personal level. They could tell if you are a commuter, business traveler, or timeshare owner.
The options were limitless, vast, and extremely razor sharp, helping marketers who were working on thin margins to meet their monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals. But how the wild west once was, no longer is.
This is both a good thing for so many advocates of data privacy, so many users who maybe didn't want their every movement tracked (who does?) and so many everyday people who just wanted to reconnect with their old high school sweetheart, favorite band, or family member.
But for the marketer, there's blood in the water, and as the company starts realizing these changes, the stocks will continue to plummet. But Facebook is agile and fast, and for now at least, they can tread water.

Anyway, following a Zone Diet plan, potato is an unfavourable carb and you can't have much of it. So try the exact same Mash recipe abov, but sub potatoes for cauliflower. With the other ingredients, it actually doesn't taste much different and comes out pretty much the same consistency. So not quite Mash Potatoe on a Zone Diet plan, but Mash nevertheless.

This is Steelhead Falls, one of my top favorite places in Central Oregon to visit in the summer. The dog can run for hours off leash, splashing into the cold river when he gets too hot, and besides the incredible waterfall and swimming hole, you can spend the whole day geeking out on plants. In the Great Basin, some of the most beautiful places (at least to me) are those where the steppe and water meet. Rivers are the lushest places around, and just 20 feet from the bank of this river, the sagebrush and juniper take over. There are tall, ancient cliffs here where ravens and bald eagles nest in safety. On this day, an osprey circled us multiple times before landing in a tree a little ways off. Central Oregon is good fishin', for mankind and wildlife.
Oh hai! Allow me to introduce myself.
I just realized I haven't posted in a month and it's not that I'm offended by my own laziness, it's that I can't believe a whole month has gone by and I kind of didn't notice. That's summer for you.
Given the short season, I've been taking every opportunity I can to enjoy summer. For nearly the entire month of August, I traveled to visit faraway friends, had sleepovers with my girlfriends and their kiddos, took the dog hiking all over the place, went swimming in lakes, and even took a trip to the coast in a '76 VW van, which broke down and had to be push-started about 10 times in two days. (I honestly couldn't even believe that a vehicle could just magically START from a few people pushing it. Now I want one.) As you can imagine, every time we parked, we were sure to locate a desolate street with a slight downhill slope and a good 20 or 30 feet of clear space ahead of us. The great thing about being able to push-start one of those things is that it didn't cut into our shopping time by much.

The story behind the story
Most of us refer to airplanes as "time machines" because of how quickly they whisk us from one place to another. To contributor Barry Schiff, however, older aircraft are more accurately described as time machines because of how they transport us to another time, a bygone era in which can be experienced the heritage and pioneering spirit of aviation.
Most of us refer to airplanes as "time machines" because of how quickly they whisk us from one place to another. To contributor Barry Schiff, however, older aircraft are more accurately described as time machines because of how they transport us to another time, a bygone era in which can be experienced the heritage and pioneering spirit of aviation. "Flying the Ford Tri-Motor," says Schiff, "helps one to appreciate the hardship and challenges faced by airline pilots of the pre-DC–3 era." (See " Tin Goose".) "These were the days before autopilots, anti-ice systems, satellite navigation, moving-map displays, and other systems that today are taken for granted." He reports that flying the lovable Ford is physically demanding and forced pilots to fly through whatever weather was encountered along the way. "It wasn't easy for passengers, either," he says. "They had to endure whatever came along."
Based on some policies out of Washington, D.C., it's easy to assume that Congress is out of touch with real issues that affect everyday Americans. Fortunately, reminds Editor in Chief Tom Haines, there are some in Congress who truly do understand the issues and aren't afraid to take a stand. Haines recently interviewed Jerry Costello, the chairman of the House aviation subcommittee, and one of aviation's strongest allies in Congress (see " Exclusive Interview: General Aviation's Watchdog in Congress"). "I was impressed by how well-spoken he is on the important issues. He has gone against his party's lines on important issues, including the fight against user fees. We need more people under the dome like Costello."
"What Expedition Aircraft is trying to do with the E350 is really intriguing," says Associate Editor Ian J. Twombly. "Very few airplanes can be considered truly versatile, but I think the E350 goes a long way to properly living up to that promise. It has reasonable speed, but great load-hauling capability and short-field performance." Twombly's report on Expedition Aircraft's ramp-worthy utility machine, " You Can Dress It Up and Take It Out," begins. "Like a great actress who has some singing chops, this aircraft could be the new crossover," he says. Twombly holds a commercial certificate with multiple ratings and a CFI and CFII.
Have you ever flown near power lines—on purpose? Associate Editor Jill W. Tallman did just that for her report on how Oklahoma pilots Mark and Stephanie Schledorn patrol miles of high-voltage lines in a Cessna 172 (" GA Serves America: Guarding the Grid,"). "Flying with Stephanie, I never felt uneasy, even though I've never done anything like that before," Tallman, a 500-hour instrument-rated private pilot, says. "As pilots we're taught from day one to stay away from ground obstructions, and with good reason, but the Schledorns know what they're doing. It was actually scarier to hear the wires humming while I was standing nearby shooting video." The Schledorns operate out of Muskogee's Davis Field (MKO), with the help of their right-hand man, Tyler Evans. "Tyler is like a family member," says Tallman. "They're mentoring him because Mark had an aviation mentor. They believe in promoting general aviation in every way possible."

Theresa May risks breaching the Good Friday Agreement if she caves in to the EU's demand for Northern Ireland to remain in the single market and customs union at a meeting in Brussels today, Unionists have warned.
Jim Nicholson, an MEP for the Ulster Unionist Party, said granting Northern Ireland special status, which has been pushed aggressively by EU officials and Irish nationalists, would be a "clear violation" of the treaty's principle of consent.
It comes as Theresa May heads to Brussels for a make-or-break lunch meeting with EU chiefs where she has been told she must come up with an improved offer on the terms of Britain's withdrawal.

Q: How to display multiple legend for range bar chart I study from How can I make a gannt chart with overlapping points in winforms
So I try to show all legend for that chart But it showed only one ledgend
Please help how to do it
 public Form1()
   {
    InitializeComponent();
    Chart chart2 = new Chart();
    chart2.ChartAreas.Add(new ChartArea());
    chart2.Dock= DockStyle.Top;
    this.Controls.Add(chart2);
    setUpGantt(chart2);
    Series s = chart2.Series[0];
    addGanttTask(s, "8:00", "17:00", Color.LimeGreen, 1);
    addGanttTask(s, "9:00", "9:20", Color.DarkSlateBlue, 1);
    addGanttTask(s, "11:00", "12:00", Color.DarkSlateBlue, 1);
    addGanttTask(s, "13:00", "13:20", Color.DarkSlateBlue, 1);
    s.SetCustomProperty("PixelPointWidth", "15");
    s.Points[0].AxisLabel = "Machine 1";
}
void setUpGantt(Chart chart)
{
   ...
}

void limitGantt(Chart chart, string start, string end)
{
   ...
}
DateTime fromTimeString(string time)
{
   ....
}
void addGanttTask(Series s, string start, string end, Color c, int slot)
{
   ....
}

A: If this is the output you want:

Step 1: Create a Series for every gantt task you are adding.
Step 2: Make sure that you are always using First Series
int pt = chart.Series[0].Points.AddXY(slot, start_ , end_);
chart.Series[0].Points[pt].Color = c;

Q: Trying to X11 forward VSCode to a windows box I've been trying to run VSCode over X11 on a Windows 7 machine. I've tested it from Ubuntu to Ubuntu using ssh -Y hostname and it works as expected. However, when I try to run it from my windows machine via PuTTY and Xming, it just fails. No errors given.

Successful grant applications
CRG program overview
Selection Panel
The Criminology Research Advisory Council
Criminology Research Grants
Submissions for the 2022 Criminology Research Grants (CRG) have been extended to 6 October 2022
The AIC has determined that projects funded by the Criminology Research Grants program are procurements. The funding of projects must therefore comply with the provisions of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules. This means the AIC will publish its criminology research requirements on AusTender via an approach to market. Interested parties can register to receive alerts when the AIC advertises on AusTender. The projects will be advertised as Criminology Research Grants.
The AIC encourages applications from organisations or collaborative teams with a demonstrated capacity to deliver high quality criminological research outcomes.
Applications will be assessed against the criteria prescribed in the approach to market advertised on AusTender. The following criteria may be considered when evaluating responses:
public policy relevance
the extent to which the proposed research will have practical application and contribute to the understanding, prevention or correction of criminal behaviour or otherwise support the objectives of Australian criminal justice systems
the likelihood of the proposed research making a substantial and original contribution to criminological knowledge
the cost effectiveness of the research
the soundness of the design and methodology, and the feasibility of the research
the competence and availability of the applicants(s) or principal investigators(s) to undertake the proposed research
ethics committee approval, where appropriate
availability of data, where required
the extent of funding or in-kind support obtained from relevant agencies.
For more information or to make a submission please visit the Aus Tender website.
Important date - Applications close at 5:00 pm (ACT Local Time) on 6 October 2022.
Please direct enquiries to the CRG Administrator on 02 6268 7450, 0406 109 885 or email crg@aic.gov.au .
