What began as an accessibility project became a work of art. This picturesque Arts and Crafts style home was built by Ware and Treganza in 1906. It prominently anchors the corner of Second Avenue and "O" Street and is home to a retired dermatologist with challenged mobility. Working with landscape designer Rob McFarland from Ward and Child, Richardson Quann Associates designed a sinuous elevated "Ipe Causeway" from the kitchen door to the garage. Capitol Hill Construction elegantly recreated details from the front of the house to create a new covered porch for easy winter access. Rob Schockler with Schockler Landscape provided an amazing landscape that hardly lets one know that they are travelling on an elevated accessible path. It was an honor to add this elegant addition to what was already an existing work of art.

Covid-19: People aged 60-69 at increased risk
Hippocratic Post | 28th April 2020 | Ageing, Coronavirus, COVID-19 Update, Infection/Disease, Royal Society of Medicine | No Comments |
The 7.3 million people in the UK aged between 60 and 69 are at increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19. Although the government's age threshold for isolation is 70 years and over, data from countries such as China and Italy show that people aged 60-69 years are also at high risk of complications and death from COVID-19.
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Professor Azeem Majeed, Head of the Department of Primary Care & Public Health at Imperial College London, said that while this group is at a lower risk of severe illness when compared to those aged 70 years or older, their risk is still considerable.
Case fatality rates for those aged 60-69 are 3.5% in Italy and 3.6% in China. Other countries, including Switzerland and France, encourage those aged 65 and older to enforce strict public health measures due to their increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.
Prof Majeed, who co-authored the paper with colleagues from Imperial College London and the University of Exeter, said: "The UK's policy is at variance with the World Health Organisation, which states that those above the age of 60 years are at the highest risk, requiring additional preventative measures."
"National and global spread of COVID-19 is accelerating. To reduce hospitalisations, intensive care admissions and death we recommend that those aged between 60 and 69 are particularly stringent when implementing public health measures such as social distancing and personal hygiene."
The authors conclude: "In the absence of government guidance, people in this group can make their own informed decisions on how to minimise their risks of COVID-19 infection. This can include isolating themselves in a similar manner to that recommended by the UK government for people aged 70 years and over."

So many things just seem like a good idea, or make perfect sense at the time…but they are so utterly bad in the long run—issues of bad design, bad queries, bad tuning. MySQL has many features, and some are often abused for what Lentz would call evil purposes. Perhaps you can think of some yourself? Other issues are that old relational database "rules" do not always apply in 2004. But people just remember the rule, not the reason.
This talk covers a wide range of "no-no's." We will discuss them, and look at better solutions using very short, simple, and specific cases as examples. You may wish to take notes! The title was to get your attention, but Lentz promises to keep it lighthearted.
Arjen initially started with C programming, but has since branched out to other stuff that blends geekness with more human interaction.
Arjen was employee #25 at MySQL AB (2001-2007), dealing with Documentation, Community Relations, Training, Support, Licensing, and acting as Program Chair for the 2005 and 2006 MySQL Users Conferences. He also co-authored the 2nd edition of O'Reilly's popular "High Performance MySQL" book.
Arjen founded Open Query, delivering affordable remote and on-site MySQL support and training. He also does some coding again with the OQGRAPH engine, and his work on OurDelta (Builds for MySQL & MariaDB).
Outside work Arjen likes spending time with his daughter, bushwalking, camping, and dabbles in organic gardening.


Firstly may Allah forgive my mistakes, the farz and sunnah i leave and accept and help me in my effort in explaining this amazing effort in islam.
Inshallah i will try my level best to clear all your doubts, which will be possible only if Allah gives me strength.
I want people to come to a conclusion, rather than jumping here and there with their baised ideas and informations, Islam is complete, there is no doubt in it. Truth is clear from error. Islam is either do or die, there is no middle game in islam. so as the tabligh is a part of islam, it is that it should be either good or evil, there is no middle path in it.
How many layman are made aware of this and how many people in tabligh jamaat actually make it a point to leave out such hadith when reading fazail e amal?
Also, when u go on jmat, they make u read fazail e amal.
The work of tabligh is open to all and is not trademarked.
i am xs11ax from sunni forum.
i would just like to begin by saying that i do not have hatred or malice towards tabligh jamaat, and neither is my view biased in anyway or influenced by anyone else.
my view is influenced by my own experience of tabligh jamaat which began when i first joined with tabligh jamaat, which was when i was 12 years old until the time i completely broke away from tabligh jamaat which was when i was around 20 years old.
in my time as a tablighi i spent a lot of time in khurooj including 6 months in USA and 4 months in indo/pak and many 40 days and 10 days, 3 days etc. i also spent a lot of time doing the local work, khidmat in the markaz and khidmat of the elders. i made many sacrifices and made my deen and dunya decisions through the mashwera of the elders in dewsbury markaz.
i am not writing the above to show people how superior i am. i am only doing this so people may understand how i have come have a certain stance i regards to tabligh jamaat.
firstly i would like to say that i believe there are many sincere people in tabligh jamaat who make many sacrifices and who do a lot of good work. i hope they carry on with the good work that they are doing without being influenced by some of the erroneous aspects of tabligh jamaat, but unfortunately due to the general nature of tabligh jamaat it is almost impossible not to be tainted by these influences.
unfortunately there are certain common attitudes in tabligh jamaat that most tablighis fall into. here is just some of these attitudes.
"....Islam is complete, there is no doubt in it. Truth is clear from error. Islam is either do or die, there is no middle game in islam. so as the tabligh is a part of islam, it is that it should be either good or evil, there is no middle path in it."
no muslim will doubt if islam is complete or not. no muslim will doubt if truth is clear from error or not. no muslim will doubt that there is no middle game in islam. and no muslim will doubt that tabligh is a part of islam. TABLIGH IS A PART OF ISLAM THAT ALL MUSLIMS SHOULD CARRY OUT. but there is nothing in islam that says tabligh has to be carried out through the tanzeem/group/organisation called tabligh jamaat. tabligh jamaat is not tabligh. it is just a group like many other groups that carry out the effort of tabligh.
no one is criticising tabligh. tabligh is an obligation placed on the muslims by Allah, to carry out in this world. whereas, joining tabligh jamaat is not an obligation placed on the muslims by Allah. tabligh jamaat is a man made organisation, and like anything man made it can fall into error and corruption as it is tainted by the mistakes of insan. granted tabligh jamaat was a blessing by Allah and Moulana Ilyas (ra) received divine help, but Allah made no such promises that tabligh jamaat will not fall into error. even Moulana Ilyas (ra) talked about tabligh falling into error if certain guidelines are not followed.
SO CAN PEOPLE PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT TABLIGH JAMAAT IS JUST AN ORGANISATION THAT CARRYS OUT THE WORK OF TABLIGH. ALSO THAT TABLIGH JAMAAT IS NOT IMMUNE FROM ERROR AND CORRUPTION.
another belief that tabligh jamaat sathis usually have is that the elders of tabligh jamaat should never be questioned, scrutinised or doubted in any way whatsoever, and those who do doubt them are doubting tabligh jamaat and tabligh itself and ultimately islam itself.
we are not shias. we do not believe our elders to be masoom. we are not barelwis. we do not hero worship our elders like the barelwis do to their pirs. but unfortunately questioning the elders of tabligh is seen as a taboo subject almost to the point of blasphemy.
just like any other human, the elders of erred in many ways. this is human nature after all. this is not the problem. the problem is the attitude that the elders can never make mistakes.
some people argue that do the work of tabligh and do not worry about what the elders are doing. the problem with this attitude is that whatever the elders decide trickles down to the general tablighi sathis and affects them in their day to day life.
THE ELDERS ARE HUMANS JUST LIKE US. THEY NEED GUIDANCE JUST LIKE US. IF NOT THEN THEY CAN EASILY FALL INTO THE TRAP OF SHAYTAAN. ONLY THE PROPHET (SAW) IS MASOOM.
May Allah forgive me for any errors i have made in my above post.
May Allah grant us all guidance and keep us on the right path.
May Allah keep us all united in islam regardless of the differences we may have on some issues.
brother, the point of hadith's in fazail e amal is not a part of Aqeedah(because its not a book of aqeedah). its just for information. please ask the scholors on that issue..
as for layman, they shouldnt use the fabricated hadiths in their general speeches, unfortunately many people dont know it, because the work of tabligh has gone too deep, inshaAllah Allah will soon clear this error.
tell me please make it clear to you, tabligh is an obligation and it can be done in many ways, for tabligh there is no such rule like you have in namaz and roza, because tabligh is a amal where you need your common sense rather than rules.
i stand by the statement, it has no error, because when i say the way of tabligh it means its the sunnah way, and sunnah way cannot be wrong, adaab and usul of tabligh are related to people who organise and follow the work. and there is no need for every human to follow the same usools which are laid a group of people, because they are neither farz nor sunnah, but the overall way of tabligh is the sunnah way and there is nothing for some one to point out.
and if some people(or consider most) who follow it do the error, then it no way reflects the work and the way it is done, just like if most of the muslims doesnt read namaz then it doesnt mean that its a part of islam and i too shouldnt read it.
bcoz just a few people do mistakes it a fooolish act to leave the work of tabligh, yes, if you dont like this way you can adopt another one, but catching the errors of few people and blaming the complete group is an evil act, just like catching some non-practicing muslims and saying this is islam.
so you are saying humans cannot make mistakes or cannot be corrupted?
I live in a small community in which due the the effort of a Tablighi Jamaat our masjid was established. May Allah bless this effort.
The way of tabligh is according to sunnah and if some XYZ makes mistake, its foolish to leave the sunnah and the command of Allah.
but when ever we talk about work of tabligh, whats the point of criticizing the people, its just like we start a topic on namaz and u come and say some Xy a old namazi has done this and that. it means ur not having a problem with him but his namaz, if u had a problem with him then why would u bring namaz in between which is duty of all muslims.
similarly when ever we talk of tabligh u bring people doing the work and doing bad things, it means ur having problems with tabligh itself.
if Allah explains us, then only we can understand it and if Allah closes the heart then even Prophets cant explain.
the work of tabligh is according to command of Allah and sunnah, there is no error in it, just as there is no error in other commands and deeds.
and Mufti nawal ur rahman once said here, if someone leaves the work of tabligh bcoz some other person has done a mistake, then till today he wasnt doing the work for Allah, but he was doing it for people.
Iv heard in a bayan that Moulana Ilyas (rah) once said(Ill try to put the exact wording) "There is nothing wrong or no deficiencies in the work of da'wa (thabligh jamath). And If there was any it will be the people who do the work of da'wa". So judging tabligh jamath by the people who do the work is totally wrong, bcoz man is created between wrong and forgetfulness. Judge the work through the actions of the work not through the people.
Brother xs11ax shaitaan corrupts a person through many ways. One main arrow of his is to show the bad sides of a prominent person doing the work and linking that with the work of da'wa. As brother abdul quddus said, do the work for the sake of Allah and not for anyone else. Then any other persons actions wont affect you in doing the work.
If you are sure that a person is doing the wrong thing, then the best solution for that is to make dua on behalf of that person.
May Allah give you the correct understanding of the work of da'wa.
Do you live near Deoband madrasah ?
Dear brothers i have read the conversation but no clear picutre. please try to come with facts and athenticity from Quran or Ahadis.
Bro Abul Qudos i am sorry i am not impressed the way u wrote it is showing the attitue u have aganist the criticism over your people which is supproting xs11ax comments. please try to accept criticism in this way you can impress more people.
May Allah give us the Strenght follwo the right path.
i dont bother if some one criticizes people of tabligh, they are most welcome, even Prophets and sahaba were critisized, no one is free from critisizm.
but brother xs11ax has problems with work of tabligh which is sunnah. to understand this, u have to read all his discussions on sunniforum.
Brother Abdul Quddus its true what you say, u see i wasnt a practising muslim, although my father was a student from the Medina University. By Allah's Grace I have changed my ways and during the transition, my Iman was at its lowest levels. The point is only at that time did I feel a temptation to join tabligh jamaat. After the process I felt no urge to join the tabligh. I have learnt a lot since then, mashallah. But you say tabligh follows the sunna, while it does not go to the extreme like shiaism, its not the sunnah, bcoz nowhere in authentic hadeeth have I come across anything where the Prophet (sal) went around telling ppl to come to the mosque, nowhere have I found that he used to where a uniform like tabligh does, nowhere have I seen sahabaa leaving their family going on unnecessary trips, when you can learn about Islam at home and in ur local mosque. The only times they left their families were only at the do or die situations. Also its true about the blind faith u have on ur elders. I have asked many highly learned muslim scholars about the tabligh, dont take offence, but they said that it is a Montessori school of thought, while its founder moulana Ilyas was a great great man. His followers still practice only his introductory teachings. I have also found many evidence of tabligh fabricating hadees, now im not blaming tabligh itself but these ar not normal ppl, these ar tabligh preachers and higher ups. Could u explain how u say that tabligh follows the sunnah?
When the prophet himself said to follow the quran and sunnah. Isnt that enough?
While I admit that tabligh have done some good, I do not c how they follow the sunnah.
Im not impressed by ur comments Abdul Quddus, you dont invite constructive critisism, that in itself shows there is something wrong with ur movement, If you ar convinced that tabligh is sunnah then bring out ur proof.
Dont keep saying its sunnah its sunnah.
Im sorry if im harsh. But you dont know how to handle critisism.
May be you could change the title into 'Tablighi jamath, what on earth is this?' as mentioning hell with this work does not seem appropriate to me although a familiar expression.
But it's only my thought.
fazaile amaal is a book encouraging good deeds and is not a book of aqeedah.
furthermore, althout it contains daeef hadith, it does NOT contain fabricated ahadeeth. This is a rumour spread by certain people through hearsay and false information.
secondly, if you have a problem with elders etc, do you really think blabbing about it on on the net is a good idea. have a problem, go speak to who you have a problem with, not on the net in the process making an entire group of muslims in that light.
Even our eldest said that, "if ever any other jammat (other than tabligh jamat), has the very similir criteria and the whole set of life of Rasulullas s.a.w inside it as their life prcatise, including the mindset (fikir of Rasullah s.a.w) the fikrah (life practise of Rasulullah s.a.w), then, you should follow them and put your life effort to that jamaat."
so, the point is, have you found any other jamaat with the whole spec of mentioned above,other than tabligh jamaat? somemore, you have to remember, that the jamaat (kuntum khaira ummah) wasnt sent for the specific country or district only, but it has to be worldwide.And they have to be "in uniform" WAY, WHICH MEANS THAT, ONCE PEOPLE SEE IT, THEY ALREADY RECOGNISE WHICH JAMAAT IS IT.
have you ever pay any anual fee in the tabligh jamaat? other than our little qurban which wanst ever going to be fixed for us to give or not.
meanwhile, stop arguing and just do the work. As long we fully Oblogated to Allah, according to the sunnah of Rasulullah s.a.w, victory is our's..
p/s: btw, who even said this tabligh jamaat is even tabligh jamaat? who even said it has a name?have it being registered in the registrat of societies?
maulana said, "if this jamaat has a name, i would like to call it as , "the jamaat that put effort for their iman..."."
Hmmm... Couldn't agree more with 'Br. bugmenot'. I have had this thought since the very first day of the existence of this post but couldn't express it since then.
A basic common-sense is sufficient evidence; about T.J. being an ERRONEOUS PATH; a BIDAAH.
The adherents of T.J. proclaim that their work is to follow THE MOST STRONGEST SUNNAH; practised by the PROPHET & HIS ASHAAB constantly without fail throughout their lives. And this is the most highest responsible religious obligation.
Then how come majority (virtually all) of the T.J. 'Ulema are never seen practising this ritual constantly. There may be sporadic instances of 'Ulema participating ONE-OFF.
I also ask them, this work began somewhere during early 1920s.
So it was something newly invented then? Which is exactly what Bida'ah means.
And what would happen to the Muslims before 1920s? My T.J. friends say, they will burn in hell. And I ask this will then also include your forefathers. And they say Yes.
Isnt it so SAD to accuse billions of muslims prior to 1920s; and brand them as HELL-BOUND.
ASALAAM U ALAIKUM WR WB!!
All praise is due to Allah and may Allah's peace and blessings be upon His messenger (saws). Verily the best speech is the book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alaihiwasallam and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the fire. (Sahih Muslim Eng. Trans. Vol. 2 Page 40 no. 1885). To proceed: The religion of Islam is that which has been ordained by Allah, fully explained by the prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam as understood and practised by the salaf-us-saliheen (the pious predecessors which includes the Sahâbah, Tabi'een and their followers).
The Sunnah has been preserved in its pristine purity in the books of Sunnah only because of the chain of narrators (isnaad) reaching up to the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam, has been meticulously preserved by the Muhadditheen (Scholars of Ahaadeeth). In the words of Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak (died 181 A.H.) on of the very illustrious teachers of Imam al-Bukhari, who said. "The isnaad is part of the religion and had it not been for the isnaad, whoever wished would have said whatever he liked". Reported by Imam Muslim in the introduction to his Sahih. (Sharh Sahih Muslim - Arabic Vol. 1 Page 87 published by Darul Kuthubul-Islamiyyah, Lebanon).
This book is not a fazail-e-Aamaal Combat Kit, But is an Enlightening insight in to the Scholars and Founding Fathers of Deoband and their Sufistic Beliefs, As Deoband have been looked upon as the good Guys and the Barelwis as the Bad Guys, However after reading the writings of the revered scholars and Founder of Deoband one Realizes that the difference between the Barelwis and the Deobandis is Miniscule and they both Share the Same Sufistic Beliefs of PIRS, FAKIRS, MIRACULOUS POWERS OF SAINTS, APPROVAL OF GRAVE WORSHIP, ZIKR, MEDITATIONS, MOKSHA, TAWASSUL, LOOKING DOWN UPON JANNAH, DIRECT COMMUNICATIONS WITH ALLAAH and many other same beliefs. One is forced to conclude that this dangerous misinterpretation and twisting of Islaamic beliefs and practices has been deliberate, oft repeated and has been purposely concealed from the common man, This can in no way be attributed to ignorance on the part of the Deoband Leaders.
Just read all these comments and nothing special i have got to mention here but i have my own story to narrate because brother xs11ax told us his story.
I got some similarities with brother xs11ax's story.
In 2004, i went to UK and i was 24 at that time.I was a brelwi follower and i thought most of the guys in tableigh have got the same background.
I was studying there and doing job as well.I was very regular in praying five times SALAH in pakistan but in UK i was preferring my job and study our SALAH.
One day some people came there,where i was living and talked with me and asked me to come in mosqe.
I went with them and after the prayer, there was a talk as well.After the talk ,i asked some questions with one of those people who came at my place.
I said how can i pray salah during my job,its almost impossible.
One of those guys said "search for another job where you can pray and as soon as you got that just leave this job" and then he told his story. He was a bus driver and on day he asked his supervisor that today is friday so i can do the job today because i have to pray.
Supervisor asked at what time you will pray.
He said around 2 o clock.
supervisor said ok, we will give you break at that time.
We will send a new driver at that time.
But at the time of jumah prayer ,they didn't send any replacement there and that guy just left the bus with full of passengers at the road and went to the mosque.
Nextday, they asked him ,why you did that.He said,i told you already.
After that ,they provide a prayer place in Garage(Willesden Bus Garage) for all muslim drivers who want to pray.
This is only the one story,i can tell you many stories of UK,where people embraced in Islam due to this work of Tableigh.In my our university, university of Greenwich, we have got two prayer rooms there and we have got a big hall for jumah prayer as well.
I have got these issues with tableighi people which brother xs11ax mentioned but Please Remember one thing,Most of the people in tableighi jamat don't have much religious knowledge,because it is a mobile learning school,you just go there and learn about the basics of Islam and propagate that as well as learning.Its a worrying concern that how someone can go to paradise and save himself and him family from hellfire .You should have firm believe in Allah swt That is; He creater and provider of everything and you can pick any one in tableigh and ask him to praise Allah swt or ask him to give introduction of Allah swt.He will introduce you,why is that because today we are lacking this,In india,pakistan and bangladesh, the picture of islam is different from other muslim countries.We asian muslims got Hindu culture not islamic culture.our marriages,day to day activities got alot of customs and habits of Hindus because most of us are converted muslim(forefathers).
If You want to talk against tableigh then tell me ,is there any group who is doing this work of tableigh(DAWA)preeching.
To the nearest meaning of a hadith, There should be a group in muslims who ask people for good and stop them from doing evil.
Sorry,if i hurt someone.If you are not sure which one is right and which one is wrong.Then pray 2 rakat salat ul hajat and ask Allah swt to guide you to the right path.
Please don't play with people believe,you will be questioned on the day of judgment.If you ask some one to pray namaz and he starts praying then you will get virtue as well.And if you do other way round then you will be punished as well.
Don't support those who are just taking money to deliver a speech on islam.Do you think they are spreading islam.
Or those who are spending their time and wealth,just to convince muslims to pray, do good and prevent from evil.
forgive me if i hurt some one.
brother, my name is Muhammed Sakhawatul Islam, i am from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
i never took part in tabligh jamat nor had i ever read fazail e amal. and, i have no intention to do these in the future either.i will express my opinion of tabligh jamat as seen by a general muslim.
if the intention of taligh jamat is dawah, then why not they read from the Qur'an Sharif, directly? that is what our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) himself did. what make them think they got a better book!!
point two, true meaning of tablig - which is obligatory on every muslim, in one form or other - is lost, it has become synonimous with tablig jamat. only this reason is enough for me to oppose activities of tabligh jamat.
point three, what on earth is iztema? people r getting misconceptions about it being some holy occasion! some ignorants, which are growing in number, has the ultimate audacity to call it mini - hajj!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop it right now. it has potential to become the biggest bid'at in Islamic history.
it is not good to see that something with such a noble intention becoming so dangerous in against the real purpose. i have other minor observations which i will share provided i get a response on this post.
Point 1 Answer: There are verses of quran in Fazail-e-Amaal and other books of tableghi jamaat. Infact each chapter starts with a section having verses of quran.Don't you believe in Ahadith.So Why you are asking Tableeghi should only read Quran.
Point 2 Answer: Can you prove it from Quran?
Point 3 Answer: Do have any evidence that our mashaikh said so and so about Ijtema as a mini Hajj? How do you define Bida'at? Prove the definition of Bid'at from Quran if you can?
Tableeghi Jamaat (organisation in English) is not a registered party, group or organisation as such; therefore there is no membership.
Even the name 'Tableeghi Jamaat' was not given by any of the scholars who are involved it; it is affectionately called that in India/Pakistan becauase the group is involved in Tableegh (Dawah: propagation of Islam).
Ans: The prophet(SA) did not read out from the Quran to the non-Muslims to invite them to Islam.
Ans:The true, selfless tabligh is a rareity: very few people in fact are engaged in calling humans to Allah without worldy gains;except for the christian missionaries.You can find such people in Jamah Tabligh.
Ans: People compare Ijtima with Hajj in terms of turnout i.e how many people are attending.
Ans: You may not have an objective observation as you have pre-conceived prejudiced against this work.
I takeTablighi jamat as a reform movement trying to educate the ignorant masses about the basic faraid required in islam.
Fadaileamal is more of a handbook which enables a person to propagate his message.(I dont think that a tablighi will object to reading the Quran or hadith).
As for the daif hadith why dont the tablighi scholars write a new version of this book removing the daif hadith.
Fazail e amal is just a book to inspire, it is not a book of aqeedah or verdicts that we are asked to follow it.
"but brother xs11ax has problems with work of tabligh which is sunnah. to understand this, u have to read all his discussions on sunniforum."
let me clarify. i DO NOT have a problem with the act of tabligh. i DO NOT have a problem with the sunnah. i DO NOT have a problem with the effort started by Moulana Ilyas (ra).
i DO have a problem with the tablighis of today who do not even understand the effort that was started by Moulana Ilyas (ra).
there was no such thing as 'tabligh jamaat'. Moulana Ilyas (ra) made efforts to bring the laymen to the ulama to learn the deen and to bring the laymen to the khanqah to clean their hearts. in order to facilitate this he encouraged people to call others towards this in a structured manner.
the preaching part of this effort of Moulana Ilyas (ra) was not the end goal, but it was just the means. the goal was to bring the laymen back to the ulama and back to the khanqahs.
a layman in tabligh will not be able to diagnose the spiritual ailments of another layman in tabligh and clean his heart.
a layman in tabligh will not be able to teach another layman in tabligh about the masa'il of deen. so what is tabligh? it is an effort to bring the layman to the person who WILL be able to diagnose and clean his heart. it is an effort to bring the layman to the person who WILL be able to teach him the masa'il of the deen.
but unfortunately tabligh today has become an entity in itself. it is no longer the means but the goal in itself.
the person who really has a problem with tabligh is abdul Quddus. not me. i dont have a problem with tabligh. but what you see today is not tabligh. that is what i have a problem with, and abdul Quddus has a problem with the real 'tabligh' as carried out by Moulana Ilyas (ra) and the other mashaikh of the past.
He (Moulana Ilyas (ra))wrote to Shaykh al-Hadith Maulana Zakariyya (ra), "I have an old wish, THAT THESE GROUPS BENEFIT FROM THE KHANQAHS, KEEPING TO ALL THE MANNERS OF THE KHANQAHS, and that the missionary work be done in PARTICULAR TIMINGS in surrounding villages. (Please) make a plan concerning this after council with the coming groups.
....The founder of the Jama'ah always tried to link the workers of Tabligh to the 'Ulama. He used to stress the importance of 'Ulama, the need to benefit from them, the rewards of meeting them, and used to teach the manners of talking to them. He used to educate the workers to take the best possible explanation of things they did not understand and keep their faith in the scholars.
There numerous accounts from many persons who had met Hazrat Maulana Ilyas (R) that it was the standing practice at Bangla-Wali Masjid in Nizamuddin for the people to awaken in the latter part of the night to offer their Tahajjud Salaah and then engage in loud Zikr in the Masjid and the courtyard, right until the time of Fajr Jamaat.
In 1959 and 1960, in the era of Maulana Yusuf (R), I personally witnessed many people engaging in loud Zikr before the Fajr Jamaat inside and outside the Masjid. The entire Masjid area would reverberate with the sound of their loud Zikr.
3. There is a possibility of being another PROPHET.
Please go through the link which clearly says who wrote like that and in which book.
ya allah plz giv us understanding of deen.
dear brothers ask for hidayat and istikamat in your daily prayers.
this era is full of fitna,dont ever debate with ny1...do dua 4unity for ummah and this work is for our self hidayat with doing fikr of whole ummah as our responsibility.
brothers do it with ikhlaas,n see our self shortcommings,so u will not be down u will be content.


Soon I will have a brand new Bach 180s 37. I dont try to talk me out of it cause I'm still going to get it. I recently started listening to a lot of Bobby Shew. I also have a my own reason for wanting to get a Monette mouthpiece. My question is, which Monette mouthpiece is best for a Bach 37. I'm trying to capture a smooth jazz sound like Bobby Shew.
Why not call Monette and let them get all your personal needs?
+1 Monette deals with customer individually; call and ask them.
Since Bobby plays his own Yamaha Shew Jazz and Lead mouthpieces on a 8310Z the setup he has will be different than yours to start with.
Bobby describes his Jazz mouthpiece as around a Bach 3D. That would be around a Monette B6LD S1. As far as compatibility with a Bach 37, who knows? That would be something that you would have to figure out for yourself.
Bobby's horn model, which I have one, plays quite a bit differently than a Bach 37. The 37 bell flair is definitely tighter than the Z bell flair which is closer to a Bach 72*.
The best thing to do is to play the Bach for a while with your current mouthpiece to see if that works. Then call Monette and let them know what you are looking for.
I play a B4LDS1 on a 37S and I'm very happy with it. Lovely warm sound for Jazz and then lights up nicely as you go higher. I also play orchestral stuff on it because I don't want to switch between mouthpieces at the moment, fits in well there as well.
Talk you out of it?? Think maybe you're being a bit presumptuous?
Call Monette, they are very helpful.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I will call Monette when the time comes. I'll try to write a post later on concerning the Bach 37 and Monette mouthpiece. That will be some time oh around April or so. Full details at that time though.
Bobby Shew has a great sound that is worth emulating.
All were Classic (vice Prana), most were STC weight, a couple were Resonance-type, LT or XLT weight.
I'm selling a Monette 6, which is essentially their version of a 3c. It pairs pretty well with Strad 37. PM if you're interested.
Not to make a number of redundant points, but BJ at Monette will help you find exactly what you need.
One thing that has not been mentioned so far is that on the Monette comparison chart - https://www.monette.net/comparison-chart - shows that their lead mouthpiece, BL2S3, was modeled after a "Shew rim." Now, I have no idea what that means relative to the current Shew line of mouthpieces bring produced by Yamaha - if memory serves correctly, this size is relatively new, and was originally a custom piece for a lead player who may have been a Shew student.
As for which Monette plays best on a Bach Strad 37 ML, that's not a question you can ever expect to gain an objective, final answer for. First of all, that is one of the most popular horns, ever, and no mouthpiece maker with an ounce of business acumen would sell mpcs to the general public without making sure they worked well on this set-up. Secondly, Bach 37s play wildly different horn-to-horn, with vintage being quite a determining factor, as well. As has been mentioned above, the taper of the 37 is quite a bit narrower/sharper than the Z model Yamahas, so since you've kept the horn as a constant, a mouthpiece with a somewhat more dispersed backbore taper may also be a consideration.
Cool. Thanks for the informative answers. I just bought a ht3 jazz. I'm very satisfied with it. I'm guess I'm just building up a collection at this point. I also have a Harrelson mouthpiece. They are cool because they give me so much more volume than anything else.

Q: How is this example not a homeomorphism? I am a beginner in Topology. I was going through Munkres book where I came across this example.
The mapping $[0,1)\to S^1$ (unit circle) is bijective and continuous, but $f^{-1}$ is not continuous.
The function $f(t)=(\cos 2\pi t, \sin 2\pi t)$ and $S^1$ is a subspace of the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. I don't understand how the inverse is not continuous. Can someone please explain this simple thing to me?
Thanks a lot

A: We need $(f^{-1})^{-1}(U) \subset S^1$ to be open for any open $U \subset [0,1)$, i.e. $f(U)$ needs to be open. Any interval of the form $[0,\epsilon)$ for $0<\epsilon<1$ is open in $[0,1)$, but $f([0,\epsilon))$ is not open in $S^1$.

A: What is the image of $[0,1/3)$?  It's open in $[0,1)$ but its image is not open in $S_1$.  Let $g=f^{-1}$.  If $g$ were continuous then $g^{-1}(\text{open})=\text{open}$.  But $g^{-1}([0,1/3))$ is not open.  So $g$ is not continuous.

A: Name $P$ the point $f(0)$. What are the inverse images of points close to $P$ under $f$?

A: The intuition is that a homeomorphism captures the idea of two spaces being the same.  Since an interval and a circle do not have the same shape, you should expect this map to not be a homeomorphism.
Formally, you should investigate an open neighborhood of 0 in $[0,1)$.  If $f^{-1}:S^1 \to [0,1)$ were continuous, then the preimage of this open neighborhood will be an open set in $S^1$.

A: Intuitively the inverse of f is ripping open the circle.  So consider a pair of points on the circle that are on opposite sides of (1,0).  Make them very close.  Now consider the inverse of f.  It sends each of the pair close to a different end of [0,1).  How can this be a continuous map?

So, off-road vehicles, eh? I was looking for something to blog about (because it's good to write a little bit every day, and doing blogs is a good way to keep you honest about it), and I asked my friends for blogging suggestions. My friends, as a joke, told me I should blog about off-road vehicles. They said it as a joke, but I took it as a challenge; what better way to get the creative juices flowing than to take a subject you know painfully little about, and trying to make something of it? So that's what I've decided to do.
However … I'm cheating a little bit. Instead of writing reviews and going into details about real life off-road vehicles or experiences I've had with off-road vehicles (which have been pretty few and far between, unless you count a riding lawn mower, which … I mean, I guess you could, but maybe you shouldn't), I've decided I'll pick some of the best movie (and maybe worst) appearances of off-road vehicles in films. Let's be real, that's just more fun for you to read about, and certainly more fun for me to write about!
So I guess, before I get started, I should define what I mean by "off-road vehicle" (being in academia, it's kind of been drilled into me that you best define what you're talking about in the introduction, or basically the whole thesis can be called into question, and that's just no good). I'll keep the definition simple, and follow the basic standard definition. I mean anything that is capable of travelling on a surface other than a paved or gravel road. And for my purposes, that included vehicles that don't actually have to travel on anything, if you know what I mean. Basically, this is so I can include hover crafts.
Technically, I guess this definition would also include spaceships (and although I'd obviously love to write a whole blog dedicated to the Millennium Falcon, that wasn't really the challenge), so let's narrow the definition a bit. Let's say any land-bound vehicle that doesn't need to travel on a designated road. Does that sounds okay? I'm just going to assume you agree that that sounds fine, because that's what I'm going with.
So I hope that you enjoy this blog! Please understand that I, as I said, know basically nothing about terrestrial off-road vehicles. I have ridden in a Gator, one of those little John Deere utility vehicles. I worked on a maple sugar farm for years, and was stationed for many of those years out in the forest, and apart from a hay wagon (I'm not kidding), a Gator was the quickest way to get out there. And obviously a wagon couldn't fit down the forest paths, so when you needed to get somewhere quickly in the woods, that's a job for the Gator. But, like, that's it. That's all I know about Earth off-road vehicles. So please have a good time reading about all the stuff I know concerning fantastical vehicles. Because that's how I roll (or hover … or whatever).

According to recent research, an absence of optimism plays a large role in keeping people trapped in poverty:

This hopelessness manifests itself in many ways. One is a sort of pathological conservatism, where people forgo even feasible things with potentially large benefits for fear of losing the little they already possess.

The parallels with scientific computing practically jump off the page, don't they?

Q: What is an Oper? Given a curve C, and a reductive group G, there is a moduli stack Loc_G(C), the stack of G-local systems.  I keep reading that there's a substack of "opers" but am having trouble locating a definition.  So what's an oper, and how should I think about them?

A: Look at http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0501398 (Opers, Beilinson and Drinfeld, 1993/2005)

A: Edward Frenkel also has a number of papers which deal with opers (just look at his arxiv papers for example).  In particular, I'm fond of the paper he wrote with David Ben-Zvi http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9902068
I think this paper might be of particular interest to Charles given that I've seen him previously give links to the BNR paper.  This paper by Frenkel and Ben-Zvi relates spectral curves to opers and also gives some nice historical background on how each is related to solving certain kinds of differential equations (which is the kind of thing I'm glad to know is there, even if I don't study it that way).

A: For reviews, one can try the articles of Frenkel and Teschner.
In the physics context, a fairly recent article which uses opers is this one, where Gaiotto and Witten define an oper for $G = \text{SU}(2)$ to be a flat rank two complex bundle $E$ over a Riemann surface $C$, with structure group $SL(2, \mathbb{C})$, together with a holomorphic line sub-bundle $L$ in $E$ such that $L$ is nowhere invariant under parallel transport by the connection $\mathcal{D}_z$ on $E$.
An oper which is endowed with a covariantly constant reduction of its structure group to a Borel subgroup (ie. the group of upper triangular matrices) is called a Miura oper.  This notion is also described in detail in the above article by Frenkel.

VOLKSWAGEN INVESTING STRONGLY IN THE FUTURE
>> Planned investments and development costs for future areas such as hybridization, electric mobility and digitalization will total roughly EUR 60 billion between 2020 and 2024
>> Share of planned spend for future topics increased in Planning Round 68 to approximately 40 percent from approximately 30 percent in the previous Planning Round
The Volkswagen Group is continuing to invest strongly in its future. As part of Planning Round 68, the investment plan for 2020 to 2024 has been drawn up. The plan was discussed during today's meeting of the Supervisory Board and approved. The Group plans to spend nearly EUR 60 billion on the future areas of hybridization, electric mobility and digitalization in the next five years. This amounts to slightly more than 40 percent of the company's investments in property, plant and equipment and all research and development costs during the planning period. Compared with the Group's last Planning Round, it represents an increase of around 10 percentage points. The Group intends to invest around EUR 33 billion of this figure in electric mobility alone.
"We are resolutely pressing ahead with the transformation of the Volkswagen Group and focusing our investments on the future of mobility. This is part of our systematic and consequent implementation of the Group's strategy," said Hans Dieter Pötsch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Volkswagen Group.
"We will step up the pace again in the coming years with our investments. Hybridization, electrification and digitalization of our fleet are becoming an increasingly important area of focus. We intend to take advantage of economies of scale and achieve maximum synergies. In light of the worsening economic situation, we are also working on increasing our productivity, our efficiency and our cost base so as to secure meeting our targets," said Herbert Diess, Chief Executive Officer of the Volkswagen Group.
During Planning Round 68, the long-term plan for the next 10 years was also modified. Through 2029, the Group plans to introduce up to 75 all-electric models to the market along with about 60 hybrid vehicles. The number of projected e-vehicles will rise to about 26 million, largely due to the addition of a year to the planning period to include 2029. Volkswagen is also planning to sell nearly 6 million hybrid vehicles by 2029.
About 20 million of the e-vehicles planned through 2029 will be based on the Group's Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB). Most of the remaining 6 million vehicles will be based on the High Performance Platform (PPE). E-vehicles are scheduled to be made outside Germany by the company's plants in Mlada Boleslav, Chattanooga, Foshan and Anting. Others will be produced by German plants in Zwickau, Emden, Hannover, Zuffenhausen and Dresden. Plans for the Emden site were confirmed, according to which production of the electric A-SUV (ID.Next)02 should start in 2022. A camouflaged version of the ID.Next was already presented at this year's Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA). A decision about a planned multi-brand plant is scheduled to be made by the end of the year.
* The Chinese joint ventures are not included in the consolidated group and are therefore excluded from the above-mentioned planning. These joint ventures finance investments in plants and products from their own resources.

The "Internet of Things" (IoT) incorporates a dynamic array of technologies that mobilize sensors to monitor environmental conditions and radio-frequency identification RFID tags to facilitate objects interacting with users. California, with its high-tech industry, will lead the nation in IoT deployment.
The total number of IoT connections is predicted to increase four-fold by 2020. As once-passive objects become capable of conducting remote updates and self-learning improvements, our systems will increasingly shift from delayed reaction to environmental and social problems, to a dynamic sense-and-respond capabilities.
The driving force behind U.S. corporate productivity is, "You can't manage what you can't measure." Government in an effort to maximize public sector jobs, has avoided efficiency.
But an increasingly insolvent public sector burdened by skyrocketing public sector pension costs and Obamacare's unlimited call on budgets has been shrinking since 2011. State, local and municipal government entities are about to move rapidly embracing real-time IoT data-driven management systems to defend shrinking budgets.
The first IoT moves are focusing on water, energy, waste, and transportation. The basic IoT tools have been around for years, including connected streetlights that switch off when no one is present to conserve energy, or that send automatic notifications when a light has burnt out.
It is estimated that cities will spend $41 trillion on IoT technologies over the next 20 years. Local governments have already started partnered with startups and major tech companies to begin experimenting with IoT across a myriad of urban and rural situations.
The smart energy grid is one of the most well-developed and widely recognized IoT systems. Smart meters relay information about buildings' and infrastructures' energy usage back to a central host in order to allocate available resources efficiently. Smart grids already use identify and address service outages and promote conservation through demand-based pricing.
New devices like Nest will bring the benefits of energy-related IoT to the public as consumers reduce their energy bills through remote sensing when someone is home adjusts lighting and temperatures automatically. The mobile smart-me app already allows users to monitor and adjust all their home and office devises use of energy.
Chicago's Array of Things and Dublin, California's CityWatch are comprehensive test sites for the deployment of citywide sensor networks. Funded by federal grants and partnering with academic research institutions and corporations, these cities are installing sensors on lampposts to monitor environmental conditions including temperature, noise, and air quality.
These systems feed data into open portals so that local government can use the data to manage incidents, identify microclimate patterns, and make predictions about vehicle and pedestrian congestion. The open source data also allows the public to track in real-time city service responsiveness to local issues.
With California's severe drought, local governments and businesses are using IoT to optimize the efficiency of urban water use and rural irrigation. This explains why water use fell by 27 percent in June, surpassing the mandatory conservation target set by Gov. Jerry Brown. Data released by the State Water Resources Control Board shows 265 out of 411 local agencies have already nearly reached their annual 25 percent reduction goals.
California's largest cities, with 27 million residents–including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose–came within 1 percent of their mandatory water conservation targets, despite the month being the hottest June on record.
With what is being described as the "Godzilla of El Niño" expected to slam California with severe flooding this winter, water districts across the state are deploying IoT sensors to monitor weather and maximize rainwater storage.
There are numerous other applications that will be implemented in the IoT deployment boom. A smarter infrastructure should be able to enhance efficiency, improve public safety, support development, and provide a better life for Californians.

Land Notices
Notice Title
Notice of Intention to Take Land and Leasehold Estate in Land for the State Highway 1 Widening Project, Warkworth
Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the First Schedule of this notice ("land") and the leasehold estate ("lease") in the land described in the Second Schedule of this notice ("lease land") on the terms and conditions set out in the Third Schedule of this notice.
The land and the lease are required for construction of the State Highway 1 Widening Project, Warkworth ("project"). More particularly, the land is required for road and the lease is required for the functioning indirectly of a road.
The reasons why the Minister for Land Information considers it reasonably necessary to take the land and the lease are to provide safe and efficient transport infrastructure between Hudson Road and the northern connection of the Puhoi to Warkworth Motorway to State Highway 1; to reduce traffic congestion; and to provide for a connection for Auckland Transport's proposed Matakana Link Road to State Highway 1.
The owner of the land and the lease land and those persons with a registered interest in it have been served with notice of the Minister for Land Information's intention to take the land and the lease and advised of their right to object.
Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Specialist Courts and Tribunals Centre, Level 2, 41 Federal Street, Auckland 1010, or PO Box 7147, Auckland 1141, or DX CX10086, Auckland, within 20 working days after the date of publication of this notice.
If any objection is made in accordance with this notice, a public hearing will be held with the right of the objector to appear and be heard personally, unless the objector otherwise requires, and each objector will be informed of the time and place of the hearing.
Any person requiring further information in respect of this advice should contact David Everiss, The Property Group Limited, Level 14, 55 Shortland Street, Auckland 1010; or PO Box 104, Shortland Street, Auckland 1140. Telephone: (09) 309 8517. Email: deveriss@propertygroup.co.nz.

Terms and Conditions for the Lease Land
Purpose for which the lease is required:
The lease is required to allow the Crown to occupy the lease land during the construction of the project. The lease land will be used as a laydown area, access to construction sites and for such other purpose or purposes reasonably required for construction of the project.
Terms of the Lease:
Any reference to the Crown in this lease includes its employees, engineers, assistants, consultants, contractors and authorised invitees.
The lease shall commence on the 14th day after publication of a proclamation taking the land and the lease in the New Zealand Gazette, and terminate on that date three years thereafter ("the Term").
The registered owner shall be entitled to receive a current market rent for the Term, such rate to be determined by a registered valuer and agreed between the parties or otherwise in accordance with the Public Works Act 1981 at the commencement of the lease.
The Crown may, on the giving of written notice to the registered owner, extend the Term for one further period of one year should the project not be completed by the expiry of the original Term. The current market rent shall be reviewed at the time the registered owner is given notice of any such extension.
Notwithstanding the Term created, the Crown may terminate the lease at any time by giving the registered owner one month's notice in writing.
The Crown shall have the right to occupy the lease land for the purpose stated above for the Term and for the avoidance of doubt such right shall include the right to enter and re-enter the lease land at all times, with or without such vehicles, machinery or materials for the purpose set out in the notice.
The Crown shall erect and maintain temporary fencing for the period of construction of the project to provide adequate security to the balance of the property.
The Crown shall take all reasonable steps to minimise damage to the lease land arising from the Crown's occupation under the lease and/or the execution of construction of the Project.
If the Crown breaches any terms or conditions in the lease, despite anything else in the lease, the registered owner must not in any circumstances cancel the lease or re-enter into possession but may seek such other remedies which are lawfully available to it.
The Crown shall at the expiration of the Term, or any extended period taken in accordance with the lease, remove all debris arising from the Crown's occupation under the lease together with any temporary fences, construction machinery, hardstands, and other improvements required to be erected by the Crown during the lease. The Crown shall otherwise restore the lease land to a condition generally in keeping with the character of the lease land prior to entry. The Crown shall complete such work in a good and workmanlike manner.
Clauses 4, 5, 6, 10, 11 and 12 of Part 2 and clause 13 of Part 3 of Schedule 3 of the Property Law Act 2007 are excluded from the lease.

Mata de Matha, morta entre 1270 i 1273, fou vescomtessa de Marsan del 1251 a la seva mort, i filla de Bosó de Matha, senyor de Conyac, i de Peronella de Comenge, comtessa de Bigorra i vescomtessa de Marsan. Fou muller de Gastó VII de Bearn.

Biografia
Tal com s'havia pactat, va succeir a la seva mare el 1251 en el vescomtat de Marsan, mentre que la seva germanastra Alix o Alícia de Montfort la va succeir a Bigorra. El comtat de Bigorra estava usurpat i era reivindicat per Simó V de Montfort, comte de Leicester i governador de la Guiena, a qui Peronella havia confiat el govern al final de la seva vida, però que s'havia afanyat a considerar-lo una donació. Mata i el seu marit Gastó VII de Bearn van ajudar militarment Alix/Alícia i després el seu fill, Esquivat de Chabanès, contra Simó de Montfort i aconseguiren fer fracassar les pretensions de l'usurpador. Per evitar tenir una província en revolta, el rei Enric III d'Anglaterra va cridar a Simó i el va apartar de la zona.

Després, Gastó de Montcada va atacar el 1256 Esquivat de Chabanès, que no volia cedir els béns que Mata posseïa a Bigorra. Va assetjar Tarba, però el príncep Eduard I d'Anglaterra els va imposar la pau.

Cap document no menciona la mort de Mata. En el moment de les esposalles de la seva filla Guillema, el 1270, era encara viva, però el seu marit ja era vidu i es casava de nou amb Beatriu de Savoia el 2 d'abril del 1273.

Matrimoni i fills
Es casà entre 1245 i 1250 amb Gastó de Montcada, VII de Bearn (1225 † 1290) vescomte de Bearn, i va donar a llum a:
 Constança († 1310), vescomtessa de Marsan i comtessa titular de Bigorra, casada el 23 de març del 1260 amb Alfons d'Aragó († 26 mars 1260); el 15 de maig del 1269 amb Enric de Cornualla (1235 † 1271); i el 1279 amb Aimó II, comte de Ginebra († 1280).

-should i go to sleep?
Sleep. You won't remember anything you study in that kind of state anyway.
study a short amount of time on some routine basis, and always choose sleep if you feel it. especially if it means cutting your study session short.


Anyways excellent movie! I just wished that it wouldn't end... I wanted it to continue!
Alvin-Earthworm confirms that in the next episode, Mecha Sonic defeated Shadow from their confrontation.
He has said that one new Power-Up will be making an appearance for the heroes.
Alvin has announced that he has retired from sprite animation and this news was not an April fool's joke. It is presumed that the series will no longer receive new episodes, and he will likely not return to the series, despite having once said that Super Mario Bros. Z is a project he wanted to be the 1st of to complete, having worked on other Flash animations and leaving them unfinished in the past.
However, at the end of the preview after waiting a few seconds, it says "The End?", implying the possibility that it may be temporary. Also, on Alvin's unofficial YouTube channel AlvinArtwork, the Channel descrption says that a revival of the series MAY happen, though it is unlikely.
This episode, along with Episode 10, was really likely to confirm who the mysterious figure that seemed to be Dr. Eggman really was.
Although one reason that Episode 9's production was going slow, was that Alvin-Earthworm was trying to find voice clips for the Koopalings, but thanks to a friend, he has them for Episode 9.
This will be the third episode where hand drawn close ups are used.
In Episode 8, The Two Shell Treaty was mentioned by Bowser.
Bowser says "What the deuce" in Episode 9 when Mario is saved. Bowser's phrase may have been a reference to Stewie Griffin on Family Guy. please wait for smbz ep 10 and etc.
SO FREAKING EPIC!!!! OMG THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE!
What's the theme of when the Axem Rangers, The Koopa Bros, And Mario & friends fight? Seriously whats the theme called?

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita Part 2: Muscle pathology and pathogenesis
DARAB K. DASTUR, ZOHRA A. RAZZAK, AND E. P. BHARUCHA
From the Neuropathology Unit, J.J. Group of Hospitals, and the Children's Orthopaedic Hospital, Bombay, India
SUMMARY Pathological findings are reported on 34 specimens from 16 cases of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), including initial observations on paraffin sections from 28 muscles, and subsequent observations on six additional specimens from three of these cases studied both histo- logically and histochemically. Thirteen of the 34 specimens (from 11 cases) were histologically normal, probably on account of an unaffected muscle being sampled. The most constant patho- logical feature in the remaining specimens was a disorganization of the muscle fibres and fascicles by severe fibrosis; only three specimens (from two cases) did not show this. Very thin faintly striated muscle fibres embedded in this matrix were encountered in 10 specimens from nine cases. An attempt at grouping of these atrophic or ill-developed fibres was noticed in four specimens; but this may not be denervation atrophy. Two specimens (from two cases) showed 'myopathic' features. Repeat biopsy after two to three years was carried out on two affected muscles each from three patients. Case 3 showed well preserved but uniformly small fibres. Case 4 showed extremely few and scattered small rounded fibres. Case 14 showed pronounced variation of fibre size in both, with both atrophic and hypertrophied fibres. Normal nerves and spindles were seen in all these six specimens irrespective of the state of the muscle, and excessive fibro-fatty tissue in cases 4 and 14. Histo- chemical examination for oxidative enzymes, ATPase, and phosphorylase in these six specimens revealed a normal checkerboard pattern and ratio of type I and type IL fibres, in case 3 only. The muscles of case 4 showed a preponderance of type I fibres. One specimen from case 14, showed the same fibres reacting for both oxidative enzymes and phosphorylase, suggesting a lack of development of fibres. The intrafusal fibres were mainly of type I in all. Two possible pathogenetic mechanisms operating in early embryonic life, which may lead to the characteristic changes of AMC, are dis- cussed: (1) a defect in the development of the muscle whereby the full recruitment of myoblasts from the mesenchyme of the limb-bud does not take place and muscles do not form adequately; (2) a lack of innervation of the muscles on account of arrested growth of anterior horn cells. The combined operation of both these mechanisms is also considered. Fibrous tissue replaces the muscle tissue that is lacking, and contractures and deformities ensue. The evidence gathered on our material, such as the very thin smooth muscle fibres, the large numbers of well-formed nerves and spindles especially in the repeat biopsies, and the above-mentioned histochemical feature, would appear to favour the hypothesis of ill-developed muscles in the production of AMC in the majority; in the rest denerva- tion playing either a major or concurrent role.

where the deformities were considered secondary to the muscle changes, which were 'identical to those seen in progressive muscular dystrophy'. Subsequently Pearson and Fowler (1963) re- viewed eight cases (two of their own in sibs) of muscular dystrophy with probable arthrogrypo- sis.
Sheldon (1932) had introduced the concept of muscular maldevelopment, through the nomen- clature 'amyoplasia congenita'. He postulated an aplasia, hypoplasia, or dysplasia of certain muscle groups leading to an imbalance at joints. Hillman and Johnson (1952) also suggested muscular aplasia as the primary lesion in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. Kite (1955) had further incriminated a failure of embryonic myoblasts as the first cause of all the changes. Frischknecht, Bianchi, and Pilleri (1960) re- ported cerebral defects, degeneration of pyra- midal tracts and anterior horn cells, and pseudo- myopathic changes in muscles in a family with arthrogryposis which he described under the all-inclusive title of 'neuro-arthro-myo-dysplasia congenita'. Swinyard and Mayer (1963) reviewed 70 cases and felt that the primary pathological change may be in the spinal cord, in the muscles themselves, or in the connective tissue. They expressed uncertainty about AMC being either a 'single disease entity' or a 'manifestation of several different aetiologies'. To the best of our knowledge, there is only
one recent histochemical study of the muscles in AMC. Fenichel (1969) in a study of cerebral influence on muscle fibre typing includes seven cases with 'arthrogryposis', according to the definition of this condition given by Drachman and Coulombre (1962) that it is 'a non-specific sign of foetal immobilization'. Fenichel con- siders 'arthrogryposis' to be a 'model of skeletal fixation during muscle maturation due to abnormal suprasegmental function'. The main objectives of this study have been
described by Bharucha, Pandya, and Dastur (1972). In the present paper the histological changes observed in the muscles will be described and our current views on the pathogenesis of AMC will be presented.
Initially 28 muscle biopsy specimens were available from 14 cases (two specimens each were available from 10 cases and three from two). Paraffin sections stained by haematoxylin and eosin (H and E), the picro-Mallory method for connective tissue, and by
phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin (PTAH) were examined in each case. Muscle fibre diameters were measured in most by micrometry.
Later, from three of the children who could be recalled, two further muscle biopsy specimens from each could be obtained. Fresh frozen sections of these were processed for the following histochemical reactions: succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), for oxidative enzyme activity; myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase); and phosphorylase for glycolytic enzyme activity. Fibre diameters were measured and ratios of type I to type II fibres were obtained. In addition, fixed frozen and paraffin sections were stained with H and E, picro-Mallory, and PTAH stains. Thus in all 34 muscle biopsies were studied. Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) was esti-
mated in four cases by the method of Hughes (1962).

muscle comprising 10 specimens from nine cases, showed a similar type of change, of greater or lesser severity in different cases. This consisted essentially of a dense fibrosis with total lack of organization of muscle into fascicles together with the presence of very fine muscle fibres embedded in this fibrous tissue. Thus Fig. 1 shows very fine strands of muscle fibres in a collagenous matrix, contrasting strikingly with two much larger normal fibres. In another area of the same muscle, fibres of a slightly larger dimension, of varying sizes but still small, are seen. This was from the quadri- ceps muscle of a 2 year old girl, with an average fibre diameter of 9-7 . only and a range of 5-17 ,u. In this case the biopsy of another muscle, the deltoid, showed even less muscle tissue in the form of thin straggly fibres.
A clearer contrast between the better preserved and the thin fibres which are now attempting a grouping is seen in Fig. 2a from the deltoid muscle of an infant aged 15 months; a normal muscle spindl

Oh no! You've dropped your iPhone! Thankfully the screen is unbroken, but something has gone dreadfully wrong with your phone's Home button. It no longer responds to button presses, and worst of all, you can no longer use Touch ID.
While this isn't something that'll bother owners of the button-less iPhone X and later, it's a disaster for an owner of an older iPhone like the iPhone 8 or earlier. The Home button is used for so many functions that operating without it can seem almost impossible. Thankfully, there are ways to work around this fault until you're able to get your iPhone fixed.

The silver price has taken a beating over the past week, dropping 18% from $28 to $23. Or at least that is what the COMEX is telling us. In reality, the price of silver is nowhere close to $23. Don't believe me? Try to find silver coins for sale anywhere in the free market at that price.
Most major bullion dealers are once again sold out of silver eagles, including my local dealer and some of the main online dealers that I use. The following is a screenshot from Tulving.com, which often has the lowest premiums over spot price for gold and silver coins. Notice that Tulving is completely sold out of silver eagles, 90% silver half dollars and even generic silver rounds. The only silver coins from this page that are still in stock are 90% junk silver dimes and quarters. Just a few short months ago, they used to sell at or near the spot price, but now sell for a premium of $4.49 per ounce!
Supply shortages and rising premiums for silver coins are not isolated to just one dealer. APMEX is another large online bullion dealer that has sold out of monster boxes of 2013 silver eagles. They only list individual rolls for sale at around $630, which comes out to $31.50 per ounce.
But wait, I thought the silver spot price was just $23? Even with a significant premium of 15%, the price should only be $26.45. But APMEX is apparently able to sell them for a 37% premium or nearly $32 due to high demand and tightening supply from mint rationing. Even then, the coins are on backorder and you will have to wait until they become available at some time towards the end of the month.
If we skip the dealers and buy silver direct from individuals on Ebay we will certainly be able to find silver eagles closer to the official spot price of $23, right?
Nope. The three most recent listings for a roll of twenty 2013 silver eagles sold in the $630 to $640 range. That is between $31.50 and $32 per coin, or just slightly above the price offered for backordered coins at APMEX. If you want silver eagles from 2008 through 2012, those are selling for closer to $33 per coin or $10 higher than the official spot price of $23 from the COMEX.
So while we are being told that silver has dropped sharply to $23, the reality is that silver coins are selling closer to $33 per ounce. That is a 43% price difference between the rigged paper price and actual pricing for physical silver in the real world!
Of course, silver eagles always carry a premium to the spot price. But just a few months ago and throughout the majority of this current bull market, the premium has been in the 8% to 10% range. I know this because I bought a few rolls of silver eagles in February when the spot price was around $30 and I paid $32.70 per coin.
The spot prices for silver that we see on Kitco or other sites are determined by futures contracts. These contracts are traded in much the same way as stocks and other commodities. A future contract exchanges delivery of an item (gold and silver in this case) for a set price, with quantity and exact order details being specified from contract to contract.
When considering gold and silver, the most well-recognized platform is COMEX, which stands for commodities exchange. COMEX is based out of New York and is part of the NYMEX, the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold and silver both find the bulk of their pricing determined by the trades that take place on the COMEX or on the LBMA in London. When futures contract trades take place, the prices of gold and silver adjust accordingly. Futures contracts are used to set the spot prices because the majority of the daily traded volume of gold and silver is done electronically as opposed to physically.
The contracts on these exchanges are highly leveraged, with approximately 100 oz of paper gold contracts backed by 1 oz of physical gold. For silver, the ratio is thought to be about 350:1. A very very small number of bullion banks (2 to 4) control up to 95% of these paper contracts, and hence are able to influence the price of physical bullion.
Selling of paper Comex contracts on Friday, April 12th, and Monday, April 15th, totaled 1 million contracts, exceeding global annual gold production by 12%. The attack succeeded when the technical support in the low $1500's/oz. easily gave way and led to waves of forced selling. The volume is without precedent and has all the characteristics of a panic liquidation driven by naked short selling.
What I find particularly interesting is that on April 1st of this year, when silver was trading at $28/ounce on the COMEX, silver eagle rolls were selling for just above $650 on Ebay or $32.50 per ounce. Fast forward to today when the silver price has supposedly crashed by over $5 in two days time and a roll of silver eagles is selling for around $640 on Ebay or $32. So the true free market pricing for silver has only dropped about $0.50 per ounce in the past few weeks, not $5.
The COMEX paper market pricing has become distorted, divorced from reality and no longer serves as honest price discovery. The recent waterfall price drop has convinced many investors that the silver price is crashing and the bull market is over. These weak hands have reacted by panic selling their positions into the hands of the big banks that have pulled off another con job on an unsuspecting investing public.
This really begs the question, why should anyone pay attention to the COMEX futures spot price?
If you are holding physical metals, they are still worth roughly the same as they were before the fake crash and continue to appreciate in true purchasing power each year. So don't fall for this game of short-term manipulation.
If you hold mining stocks, you should also resist the emotional urge to panic sell and exit your positions. This disconnect between true free market pricing and COMEX manipulation will come to an end soon. The value of the gold or silver that the miners own hasn't really dropped, so any waterfall decline in share price is nothing more than a buying opportunity.
It should be glaringly obvious by now that gold and silver prices are heavily manipulated. GATA has been correct all of these years, even when their message was met with ridicule or fell on deaf ears. This manipulation is taking place because gold and silver are money and in competition with the flood of fiat notes being printed.
The current political and economic power resides with those that have the ability to print money, particularly the world reserve currency. Those in power will fight any challenge to the fiat fractional reserve banking system and the U.S. will fight to keep the dollar as world reserve. But this is a battle that will be lost, which is being shown via increasingly blatant and desperate attempts at maintaining the status quo. With the rise in popularity of precious metals and alternative currencies such as bitcoin, it appears the days of the dollar are numbered.
If the elite can keep the price of gold and silver from rising too rapidly, it gives the illusion that inflation is in check and makes their fiat money appear valuable and stable. The FED has nearly unlimited resources and has been using this power to slow the rise of precious metals, while their member banks reap the rewards of siphoning wealth from the less sophisticated investment public.
I believe that the proper course of action is to resist the urge to sell, keep your emotions in check and use their manufactured dips as a buying opportunity. You may not be able to find physical silver for $23, but you can pick up oversold silver funds such as PSLV, royalty companies and mining stocks on the cheap right now. The manipulators have convinced investors to dump their shares under the false guise of rapidly falling prices and this has resulted in some significant distortions in value.
Imbalances and distortions such as this don't tend to last very long. The big banks need only run the manipulation long enough to force funds to liquidate positions on technical stops and weak-handed investors to panic out of their positions. They can then swoop in, cover their short positions, pick up bargains and profit again on the way up, just as they did on the way down. It is a zero sum game and the investing public is the proverbial sucker at the poker table.
Avoid this trap, ignore their price fixing, buy quality mining stocks during sell offs and keep stacking. Don't be the sucker at the table.
Despite the well-timed propaganda from Goldman Sachs and media blitz of bearish sentiment on gold, the bull market in precious metals is nowhere close to being over. The official inflation adjusted higher for gold is $2,400 and the real inflation-adjusted high is over $8,000 according to economist John Williams of Shadowstats.com. We will see these numbers at a very minimum before all is said and done.
