If you needed more proof that Chinese (and Taiwanese) smartphone manufacturers are on track to rock the Android world in 2014, Huawei has announced their first half 2014 numbers. In short, 62% growth, up to 34 million smartphones shipped around the globe.
Further, Huawei total business operations pushed out over 60 million device, including smartphones, WiFi hotspots and more.
We've been watching manufacturers like Huawei and Xiaomi for a while now. Xiaomi especially has been flying with Huggo Bara at the helm, recently launching into India and continually selling out batches of devices in a matter of minutes.
I won't repeat myself too much here, head on over to my overview of what I expected of Chinese manufacturers for 2014. Then hit my article on Android Authority with the particulars of Huawei's recently announced numbers.
Are you one of the many that are now using a device from Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo or other Chinese manufacturer? How do you like the device and service?


Welcome to our class page !
During Book Week we explored stories by Julia Donaldson. We read Stick Man and talked about belonging. Then we made our own stick men and women.
We have been thinking about ourselves as learners. We took part in a team building activity in which we had to cross the swamp using 2 stepping stones. We needed to use good speaking and listening skills as well as our problem solving skills to successfully get our whole family across the swamp.
As part of our topic work based on the UK we welcomed Jim who shared with us his Scottish roots. We all enjoyed the short bread.
In Basalt Class We Dream Big!
We have been thinking about what we want to be when we grow up.
During STEAM week Basalt Class learnt all about forces. We had a fantastic time exploring swirly snakes, dangling monkeys, spaghetti towers, jelly and chopsticks, sail cars and paper helicopters. We also enjoyed visits from a vet and an optician.
Year 1 and 2 made coconut ice as a Christmas gift for all of the staff in school and our families at home to say thank you for everything they do for us.
Basalt Class and Ragstone Class performed 'A Midwife in Crisis'.
Basalt Class visited Fosse farm to learn all about where our food comes from.
We have been completing and sharing our home learning projects based around the story Prince Cinders. We have made invitations to Prince Cinder's and Princess Lovelypenny's wedding, wedding cakes, wedding transport and news reports.
We designed our own story settings where our Princes and Princesses will meet.
We had a felting workshop with Bessie. Look what we made.
We walked to the woods where we built dens then we returned to school for hot chocolate and biscuits. Yum!

Boeing aircraft
Boeing Model 15
PW-9/FB
Naval variant, Boeing FB-5 of VF-6
Pursuit fighter (PW-9)
Carrier Fighter (FB series)
United States Army Air Service
Developed from
Fokker D.VII
The Boeing Model 15 was a United States open-cockpit biplane single-seat fighter aircraft of the 1920s, manufactured by the Boeing company. The Model 15 saw service with the United States Army Air Service (as the PW-9 series) and with the United States Navy as a carrier-based fighter (as the FB series).
1 Design and development
2 Operational history
5 Specifications (PW-9)
The design of the Model 15 was based on studies of the Fokker D.VII, 142 of which were brought back to the U.S. for evaluation as part of the Armistice Agreement ending World War I. Many of the features were similar. The Model 15 had a fuselage of welded steel tubing braced with piano wire, while the tapered single bay wings were fabric on a wooden frame, with spruce and mahogany wing spars and three-ply wood ribs. Wing struts were changed from the normal wood used in Boeing designs to streamlined steel tubes. The landing gear had a straight axle, streamlined into a small 16 in (410 mm) chord wing.[1]
The original engine was a 300 hp (220 kW) Wright-Hispano, but when the 435 hp (324 kW) liquid-cooled Curtiss D-12 became available the aircraft was redesigned, moving the radiator from the nose to a "tunnel" under the engine. Along with some other minor design changes to the wings, the design was finalized on January 10, 1922.[1]
The Army expressed interest in the new design, and agreed to provide armament, powerplants, and test the aircraft, while leaving Boeing the rights to the aircraft and design. The contract was signed on April 4, 1923 and the first prototype, designated XPW-9 for "Experimental Pursuit, Water-cooled engine", flew on June 2, 1923.[2] The XPW-9 competed with the Curtiss Model 33 for contracts for a pursuit aircraft to replace the Thomas-Morse MB-3A in the United States Army Air Service.[2] Ultimately, both models were accepted; the Curtiss aircraft was designated PW-8 and the Model 15 PW-9. The Air Service preferred the PW-9, which outperformed the PW-8 in all performance aspects except speed, and was built on a more rugged and easier to maintain design, ordering 113 aircraft (only 25 PW-8s were procured). A naval version was also developed, designated FB, and 44 aircraft produced.
Deliveries of the first 25 PW-9s began on October 30, 1925.[3] Boeing delivered a total of 114 PW-9s of all variants including prototypes to the United States Army Air Corps between 1925 and February 1931. Virtually all PW-9s served with overseas units, in Hawaii with the 5th Composite Group at Luke Field and later the 18th Pursuit Group at Wheeler Field,[4] and in the Philippines with the 4th Composite Group at Clark Field, Luzon. PW-9s equipped the 3rd, 6th, and 19th Pursuit Squadrons between 1925 and 1931.
The FB-1, of which the Navy ordered 16 but received only 10 between December 1 and 22, 1924,[5] was not modified for naval operations (for instance, no arresting hook), and was assigned to Marine Corps squadrons VF-1M, VF-2M, and VF-3M, being deployed to China in support of the Marine Expeditionary Force.[6] Two additional planes—designated FB-2—were altered to operate on the carrier Langley with the addition of arresting gear and a straight-across axle for the landing gear. These went into service with VF-2 in December 1925. Generally satisfactory results led to an order for 27 FB-5s, which became the Navy's first fighters intended specifically for carrier operation. They were upgraded to 525 hp Packard 2A-1500 engines, and sported a row of hooks on the bottom of the axle, used to guide the plane via cables on the deck. The FB-5 first flew October 7, 1926 and was delivered to the Navy beginning in the following January, carried on barges in Puget Sound from Boeing's factory to Langley anchored in Seattle's harbor. Hoisted aboard, their first official flights were from the carrier's deck.[7]
XPW-9
Three prototypes built for Air Service evaluation. First aircraft scrapped at McCook Field on February 21, 1925, second static tested in October 1928 and the third was still flying in December 1928.[3]
30 produced 1925-26, first production variant, D-12 engine.
PW-9A
24 produced 1926-27, D-12C engine.
PW-9B
One modified PW-9A, delivered as PW-9B in 1927.
PW-9C
40 produced 1927-28, D-12D engine.
PW-9D
16 produced 1928-34, final production variant.
XP-4

Designation of one PW-9A (ser no. 26-374) converted to single-seat trainer with Wright-Hispano engine.

About Trae Tha Truth
Trae Tha Truth (or just Trae) is one of the more authentic artists currently operating in Texas, if not the South in general. A member of the Screwed Up Click and Guerilla Maab collectives, his gritty, chilling street narratives are like no other in the game, and you know there's truth to them. Since stepping foot in the rap game in 1998, the Grand Hustle Records signee has collaborated with Z-Ro, Dougie D, Chamillionaire, Future, Gucci Mane, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Bun B, Kirko Bangz, Wiz Khalifa, Lupe Fiasco, Big Boi, Wale, Rick Ross, Plies, Jodeci, Rich Boy, Lloyd, Lil Wayne, Fat Pat, Yung Joc, Big Hawk and many more, not to mention everyone in his Grand Hustle squadron. Most recently, the Houston native dropped a new mixtape titled "I Am King", and he continues to put out episodes of his long-running cartoon series "Trae", which is executive-produced by cartoonist Jay Sugarman and Omar Epps and overseen by Marlon Wayans. He's also working on his seventh studio album Banned, which is slated to drop this year. Stay tuned.
Facts Only
He debuted on Z-Ro's 1998 album Look What You Did To Me.
Trae's music is currently banned from Houston's KBXX "97.9 The Box" radio station due to disagreements stemming from a shooting during his Trae Day performance in July 2009.
In 2008, Trae was awarded his own day by then Houston mayor Bill White, "in honor of his outstanding work within the community". Trae Day is July 22nd.
In June 2012, Trae was shot in the shoulder after a show at an after-hours club in Houston.
Trae is a founding member of the Guerilla Maab alongside Z-Ro and Dougie D.

L'Akademik Tcherski (en ) (en ) est un navire de pose de tuyaux par grue combinant les fonctions de navire-grue et de navire poseur de canalisations. Il est propriété de la flotte de OOO Gazprom filiale à 100 % de l'entreprise PAO Gazprom.

Ce navire est l'un de ceux cités par Vladimir Poutine qui serait capable de se substituer à celui de l'entreprise suisse Allseas. Celle-ci a suspendu sa participation au projet de Nord Stream 2 en mer Baltique après la signature par Donald Trump de la lettre annonçant des sanctions contre les entreprises participant au projet de construction du second gazoduc entre la Russie et l'Allemagne.

Histoire

À l'origine, le navire a été équipé en 2007 en Chine au chantier naval de la compagnie Jiangsu Hantong Ship Heavy Industry à Tongzhou pour répondre à une commande de la compagnie Sea Trucks Group Limited. Le projet a été développé par la société norvégienne Vik-Sandvik. Le nom d'origine du navire était Jascon-18. En juin 2011, le Jascon-18 est arrivé au chantier naval Kwong-Soon shipyard à Singapour pour être achevé. En décembre 2015, le navire a été acheté par la filiale singapourienne de la société russe «Mejregiontrouboprovodstroi» (MRTS). Pour l'achat du navire, la société a obtenu un prêt d'un milliard de dollars US auprès de Gazprombank . En janvier 2016, le navire a été arrêté à Singapour dans le cadre d'une action en justice intentée par un chantier naval pour non paiement complet du prix de la construction. Après la résolution du litige, en juin 2016, il est entré à l'actif de la flotte de OOO Gazprom flotte, qui l'a rebaptisé Akademik Tcherski (en l'honneur de l'académicien  de l'Académie des sciences de Russie) (antérieurement de l'URSS). Jusqu'en août 2017, le navire se trouve dans le port indonésien de Batam, puis il est conduit en Fédération de Russie. Durant la période de mars à mai 2018, les opérateurs de grues du navire Akademik Tcherski ont été formés aux cours de l'Offshore Crane Operator Stage 1, 2 au centre de formation de la société Sparrows FZE (Moussafax, Abou Dabi). En vue de pouvoir utiliser le navire pour le développement du gisement de gaz russe de Kirin en Mer d'Okhotsk (île Sakhaline), il est décidé de procéder à sa modernisation. Le contrat pour la modernisation a été attribué à ООО RIF -Terminal (société d'ingénierie de Moscou). Le coût des travaux s'élèvera à  réalisés au chantier naval de Nakhodka et ils devront ëtre achevé pour le .

Au , le navire n'est pas prêt à être utilisé comme navire poseur de canalisations, car il ne dispose pas encore du matériel de soudage et d'installation nécessaire.

À la fin du mois de , Gazprom flotte a lancé un appel d'offres pour l'installation du matériel de soudage et d'installation nécessaire КМТУС. Le coût estimé des travaux est de . Le résultat de l'appel d'offre devant être examiné le , mais le délai de réception des offres a été reporté au .

Au début du mois de , l'  Akademik Tcherski  traverse une partie de l'Océan Pacifique et de l'Océan Indien en direction de la Mer Baltique pour que soient terminées les réparations et la mise à niveau afin qu'il entre en service pour l'achèvement du projet Nord Stream 2. Sur certaines parties du parcours le navire est protégé par des navires de guerre de la Marine russe. À la fin du mois de mars 2020 il se trouve le long des côtes sud-ouest de l'Afrique. Il passe par Suez qu'il quitte le 6 avril pour se diriger vers Las Palmas. Le 20 avril 2020 le navire est signalé comme retournant vers l'Égypte (Port-Saïd) après être passé par Las Palmas dans les Îles Canaries
Le , il est signalé à proximité de Kaliningrad, exclave territoriale de la Fédération de Russie. Le 4 et le 5 mai il est à l'ancre à quelques milles de l'entrée du port.

Le , le navire-grue lève l'ancre et prend comme destination Mukran (Sassnitz), le port de la ville de Sassnitz en Poméranie-Occidentale-Rügen (Allemagne). Ce port est situé à une quarantaine de milles au nord de la commune de Lubmin, dans la baie de Greifswald où est prévue l'arrivée du Gazoduc de  Nord Stream 2 en provenance initiale d'Oust-Louga en Russie à  de la ville de Saint-Pétersbourg. Le  l'Akademik Tcherski jette l'ancre à Mukran.

Le  le navire russe Akademik Tcherski Pipelaying arrive sur le chantier de construction de Nord Stream 2. Le navire est resté de nombreux mois stationné dans la mer Baltique dans la région de Kaliningrad en Russie où il était en maintenance. L'agence de presse russe TASS signale le  que le navire russe est sur place et va reprendre le projet de gazoduc Nord Stream 2 pour la Nord Stream 2 AG, société opérateur du projet.

Sanctions américaines annoncées le

Malgré la renonciation aux sanctions américaines à l'encontre du projet Nord Stream2 et de son directeur général allemand Matthias Warning annoncée par le Secrétaire d'État Antony Blinken le , treize navires russes sont maintenant soumis aux sanctions en plus du Fortuna déjà soumis depuis le . Il s'agit des navires :Akademik Tcherski, Issledovatel Baltiski, Spassatel Karev, Iouri Topchef, Vladislav Strijov, Artemis offshore, Bakhtemir, Finval, Kapitan Beklemichev, Mourman, Narval, Sivoutch, Oumka. Certains sont des navires poseurs de canalisations, des remorqueurs, d'autres des navires ravitailleurs en matériel (tubes de gazoduc) ou encore de transfert et relais des équipages en place sur le Fortuna. Ces sanctions permettront aux alliés des États-Unis de refuser l'accès de ces bateaux dans leurs ports, ce qui peut perturber la suite des opérations de pose du gazoduc en mer Baltique.

L'annonce le  par Victoria Nuland, sous-Secrétaire d'État américaine, de l'accord sur le projet Nord Stream2 intervenu avec l'Allemagne, devrait permettre à l'Akademik Tcherski de poursuivre ses travaux sans risquer de sanctions et de terminer le projet gazier à la fin de l'été 2021.

Renton is located in King County, Washington. Situated 11 miles (21 km) southeast of Seattle, Washington, Renton straddles the southeast shore of Lake Washington. Founded in the 1860s, Renton became a supply town for the Newcastle coal fields. The city is now a center of manufacturing and technology companies, such as Boeing, Paccar, and several dot-com companies. The City of Renton's population was 90,927 as of April 1, 2010 United States Census. Renton currently contains the 9th largest population in the state, and 4th largest in King County.

BTS's V Accidentally Kicks A Ball At ARMY…His Reaction Is Everything
BTS's latest L.A. concerts had plenty of wild moments, and one of those moments is going viral!
On November 27th and 28th, BTS held their first two PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA concerts at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. After two years of online concerts, BTS was finally able to interact with fans in person.
During "Permission to Dance," the final song on BTS's setlist, V tossed balls into the audience. Since the balls were lightweight, they didn't travel far. So…why not kick them instead?
This. This is why. When V kicked a purple ball…
…he accidentally hit someone in the audience!
A fan captured V's reaction in a series of photos that need to be passed down like family heirlooms to future generations. They are just that priceless!

V made sure everyone was safe before he continued to play around on stage under a shower of confetti.

Personal info Measurements Rachel was originally billed as wearing a 32 JJ size bra,  but her breasts were still growing. In a German television show called taff, aired May 22 , , on ProSieben, she went to buy a new bra at Royce Lingerie and was measured again. Her measurements were 74 cm underbust and cm bust , or 42 inches. This gives a bra size of 34L 75L which was also confirmed in the show.
The Massage Allison sighed with relief as she signed in at the front desk and followed the spa attendant up the stairs toward the ladies change room. This massage was a long time in coming, and she felt like her body had never been so tense. Between the merger at work and breaking up with that idiot Brad, she was pretty sure her back and neck muscles would never be the same. Allison smiled back as she passed through the door. She set down the white robe and slippers the attendant had handed her, and hung her purse in a locker. It was peaceful in the large room, the scent of fragrant lotions and soaps filling the air, and pretty flowers on the counter tops. There were two showers, as well as a steam room, and plenty of extra towels and robes were folded nearby.

Evolving H7N9 bird flu could close poultry markets
By Debora Mackenzie
Where flu strains mingle
(Image: Peter Adams/Getty)
THERE'S good news and bad news. At last report, there have been no new human cases of H7N9 bird flu in China since 8 May. On the other hand, it seems the virus already has many of the mutations that would allow it to spread easily among us while remaining deadly.
Meanwhile, New Scientist can reveal that China is considering closing live poultry markets permanently in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus.
H7N9 flu has caused 131 known cases in humans, 36 of whom have so far died, since it emerged in February this year. Tests show that while the virus is a very rare infection of birds in live poultry markets, it is circulating and evolving. But the infection is so rare that those birds can't be passing the virus to enough other birds to keep it circulating. This means it must also be carried, less rarely, by another animal – so far unknown.
Now Yi Guan at the University of Hong Kong in Pokfulam and colleagues have shown that H7N9 spreads through the air between ferrets, the best test animal for human flu, just like the experimental H5N1 bird flu that caused an outcry in 2012.
Five mutations make H5N1 transmit via airborne droplets between ferrets, and H7N9 already has three of them, but it was not known whether the mutations have the same effect on H7N9. It seems they do: healthy ferrets housed in cages with infected ferrets all came down with the virus, as did three out of four ferrets in a nearby cage, showing it spreads in airborne droplets, though not with the 100 per cent efficiency of ordinary flu.
Guan's team also found that ferrets spread H7N9 before flu symptoms develop. This means that, as with most flu, we cannot control the spread of H7N9 by isolating people as soon as they show symptoms.
The key now, the team says, is to stop H7N9 becoming more common in poultry, as this would "greatly increase" opportunities to evolve more transmissibility.
The Chinese government has closed poultry markets in cities throughout the eastern provinces affected by the virus. This, and the warmer weather that inhibits survival of the virus, is probably behind the slowdown in human cases, says Keiji Fukuda, head of flu at the World Health Organization. But, he warns, "it is unlikely that the virus has simply disappeared".
Hua Wang of the Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Nanjing, China, confirmed this week that markets are a crucial piece of the puzzle, reporting that a human case of the virus in Nanjing was virtually identical to a sample from a poultry market (New England Journal of Medicine, doi.org/mmx).
"The Chinese government is thinking about shutting live markets permanently as a pilot project" in cities like Nanjing and Suzhou, Wang says. If human infections stay low, this could be extended. But the country's poultry industry is already down $6.5 billion in lost sales due to H7N9, according to an official estimate. So "there is great pressure to open the markets again".

Southwest and Delta had a temporary agreement allowing Delta to fly its five daily flights to Atlanta through last summer, but Southwest planned to kick Delta out after that so it could use the gates for new flights. With both airlines claiming rights to gate space, the city of Dallas filed a lawsuit, asking the court to decide who should use the gates.
U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade granted a temporary injunction in January in Delta's favor, allowing it to continue operations while the court case continues as Southwest appeals the case.
Earlier this month, Delta filed a brief with the appeals court asking it to uphold the injunction, writing that oral arguments were unnecessary in the case.
"The injunction is faithful to the City's federal obligation to ensure that new entrants such as Delta can access Love Field," Delta's filing said. "If it did not, accommodation at Love Field would be nothing more than an empty promise."

Sharpe's Enemy is the fourth episode of the Carlton UK miniseries Sharpe, starring Sean Bean as Captain Richard Sharpe, the officer of a small Rifles detachment during the Napoleonic Wars. It was filmed on location in the Ukraine and the Crimea. The episode follows Sharpe and his company in their efforts to rescue two women hostages from an "army" of deserters camping along the Portugese border.
Rifleman Perkins (Lyndon Davies) aims his Baker.
Sharpe and the Riflemen open fire with their Bakers, while Corporal Kelly (Morgan Jones) fires his Brown Bess Flintlock Musket.
The standard rifle issued to "redcoat" British soldiers is the Brown Bess Flintlock Musket.
A firing squad takes aim at Hakeswill.
The advancing French soldiers carry Flintlock muskets of an unknown kind.
Various characters use Flintlock Pistols of various kinds, including Col. Sir Augustus Farthingdale (Jeremy Child), Hakeswill (Pete Postlethwaite), "Marshall" Pot-Au-Feu (Tony Haygarth), and Teresa Moreno (Assumpta Serna).
Hakeswill (Pete Postlethwaite) holds his Flintlock Pistol to Isabella's (Elizabeth Hurley) head.
Teresa (Assumpta Serna) is forced to lower her pistol, and is shot by Hakeswill in return.
Hakeswill tries to hold Isabella hostage with his (now-empty) pistol.
Col. Dubreton (Francois Guetary) holds his own pistol on Hakeswill.
An officer administers the coup de grace to Hakeswill.
One of the more bizarre weapons featured in the episode is the Rocket artillery invented by Sir William Congreve (1772-1828). The Prince-Regent of England (the future King George IV) was so awed by these weapons that he insisted on sending a troop of them to the Duke of Wellington's Peninsular Army. But since neither Congreve (nor anyone else) had any concept of aerodynamics, the rockets had no fins, or other stabilizers attached, and thus were wildly inaccurate.
The rockets were sporadically used in British Army engagements in the following years, including during the War of 1812 against the United States, inspiring the phrase "the rockets' red glare" in "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Captain Frederickson (Philip Whitchurch) empties one of the rocket canisters into a sack, making a set of impromptu grenades.

PR agencies are facing another pivotal point in their history.
It's similar to the dot-com boom-and-bust cycle of 20 years ago, where there was first incredible innovation and growth, followed by a dramatic pullback. Today, we're seeing shrinking revenues, increasing competition that has caused layoffs, a renewed quest for identifying unique talent and even mega-mergers like this week's big Burson Cohn & Wolfe announcement.
So, agencies continue to evolve out of necessity. But what will help the industry thrive in the future?
In a recent article in The Holmes Report, Richard Edelman stressed the need to be searching for ways to evolve. Edelman, the president and CEO of Edelman, the world's largest PR agency, offered some specific advice: firms need to become more adept at leveraging digital platforms to drive better employee communication.
In fact, many agency leaders have known for years about the tremendous opportunities to mobilize the power of employees as brand advocates. Michael Brito, Executive Vice President of Zeno Group, just published a book, "Participation Marketing," dedicated to how companies can unleash employees to participate and become brand storytellers. But that potential can only be harnessed when leveraging digital platforms that enable organizations to communicate with employees in a genuine, authentic manner.
Employee communication plays directly into the strengths of PR agencies, who have the experience, knowledge, and resources to help their clients navigate a rapidly changing global marketplace that requires new strategies and thinking. PR is firmly planted in the power of communication strategies – both to the public and internal, working together to generate affinity and reputation protection.
And yet, employee communication as it exists today is broken. This is partly due to the fact that the workplace is in flux. The "office" is no longer a given. For example, Gallup's 2017 State of the American Workplace report found that 43 percent of employees now work in a remote fashion. Other workers have remote-hybrid arrangements, while even more are embracing flexible working spaces. And did you know when employees do have access to a company intranet (many don't even have that), only 13 percent of employees say they visit it daily and 31 percent say they never do, according to Prescient Digital Media?
Despite the advent of new communication technology "solutions," it's becoming harder for organizations to reach those "disconnected" workers who are on factory floors, driving trucks, standing behind cash registers, stocking shelves or even providing healthcare in homes and in hospitals.
But organizations need the innovative platforms to create the engagement for that to occur.
As strategic partners in communications, PR agencies have deep insights into how to effectively connect with key constituents and build trust using a brand's own digital native, mobile-enabled workforce. It's why companies turn to them for assistance when it comes to building strong employee communications programs.
There's a critical need to modernize employee communication with modern, streamlined platforms. PR agencies can be at the forefront of that transformation. Make sure yours is thinking about how to make that happen.
Adam Keats will moderate a panel at SXSW featuring Bob Pearson from W2O and Cydney Roach, EVP, Employee Engagement, Edelman that focuses on fostering greater trust in a time of digital transformation. Come listen to their discussion on Sunday, March 11 at 10 a.m. at The Patio at Lambert's, 401 W. 2nd St., Austin, TX 78701. For more information and to register, click here.

What is an Invasive Species?
Invasive species are non-native species that can cause harm to the environment, the economy or to human health. Invasives come from all around the world. As international trade increases, so does the rate of invasive species introductions. Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to New York's biodiversity. They cause or contribute to: habitat degradation and loss; the loss of native fish, wildlife and tree species; the loss of recreational opportunities and income; and crop damage and diseases in humans and livestock (from the New York Dept. of Environmental Conservation).
First imported as a hedging material, Buckthorn out-competes native plants, degrades wildlife habitat, and lacks natural "controls" such as insects or diseases.
What are those berries?
Exotic bush honeysuckle is perhaps the most widespread exotic invasive in the U.S. Widely dispersed by birds, it is now found in at least 38 states.
Giant hogweed is one of New York's most striking and dangerous invasive plants. Learn how to recognize and manage it safely on our site.
This bamboo-like plant is shade-tolerant and grows from 3 to 15 feet tall, in disturbed areas, often near water sources.
Oriental Bittersweet
Introduced in the 1860s as an ornamental and for erosion control, Oriental Bittersweet is a vine that smothers plants and uproots trees due to its weight.

Hadith/Prophet's Authentic Statements
The concept of "Dhimmi" in Islam
Posted on September 13, 2021 January 14, 2023 AuthorMohamad Mostafa Nassar
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐨𝐟 "𝐃𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢" 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦
Many people have a misunderstanding about the concept of "dhimmi" in Islam. Some take it as intimidating label for the minorities under the Islamic rule. This certainly is not the case.
The word actually means, "One whose responsibility has been taken" i.e. someone responsibility of the protection of whose life and property is taken by the Islamic government.
Following is what Edward William Lane writes about the "Ahl Dhimma";
Edward William Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon Book I p. 976
In Islamic literature they are also referred to as "Mu'ahid." Dr. James Robson in an explanatory note to a Hadith says, "This is used of a member of protected communities, but it is also used of anyone who belongs to a non-Muslim community with whom a treaty of peace has been made."(Mishkat al-Masabih vol.1p.735)
So in short, the "Dhimmis" are the People of Covenant whom the Islamic rule pledges every kind of security and toleration.
Prophetic narrations about "Dhmmis":
Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him, said: "If anyone wrongs a man with whom a covenant has been made, or curtails any right of his, or imposes on him more than he can bear, or takes anything from him without his ready agreement, I shall be his adversary on the day of resurrection." (Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith 3052. Classified as Sahih by Albani)
The Prophet, may Allah bless him, said, "Whoever killed a Mu'ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling)." (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 2930)
Covenant of 'Umar to the people of Jerusalem:
The covenant of 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, is a wonderful document showing Islam's approach to non-Muslims living in peace within Islamic rule. Following is recorded by al-Tabari;
"In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, most Beneficent. This is covenant of peace granted by the slave of Allah, the commander of the faithful 'Umar to the people of Jerusalem. They are granted protection for their lives, their property, their churches, and their Crosses, in whatever condition they are. All of them are granted the same protection. No one will dwell in their churches, nor will they be destroyed and nothing will be reduced of their belongings. Nothing shall be taken from their Crosses or their property. There will be no compulsion on them regarding their religion, nor will any one of them be troubled." (Tarikh al-Tabari 2/308)
Also it is recorded in Sahih Bukhari;
Umar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, "I urge him (i.e. the new Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allah and His Messenger in that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their safety) and he should not over-tax them beyond their capability." (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 2824)
Other Companions:
Khalid bin Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, is reported to have said, "Do not harm one given protection for a needle or anything less than that." (Abu 'Ubaid's Kitabul Amwal, Narration 12)
Sa'sah said, I asked Ibn Abbas; "We travel in the lands of the people of protection (non-Muslims living under Muslim rule) and so we take something from them." He asked, "Without payment?" I said, "Yes without any payment." He asked, "So what do think of it?" I said, "[With think it is] legal and there is no problem in it." He said, "Do you argue like the people of Book who said, 'There is no way we can be blamed in the matter of the unlettered'?" (Abu 'Ubaid's Kitabul Amwal, Narration 370)
Sayings of Muslim jurists:
Muhammad bin Hassan al-Shaybani said:
"When Muslims took their responsibility they accepted the obligation to ward off oppression from them and they became citizens of Darul Islam." (Sharah Sayr al-Kabir 1/69)
Another well known manual of Islamic jurisprudence reads;
"It will be a sin to call a Jew or a Magian, 'O Infidel!' if he disliked it." (Fatawa Hindiya 43/382)
Acknowledgment of Orientalists:
It is an established fact that Muslims generally treated their non-Muslim subjects very well. This is particularly true for the times of the Righteous Caliphs who are the beacon of light for Muslims.
Even jaundiced-eye orientalists had no choice but to accept this reality. For instance, William Montgomery Watt writes;
"In the early days of Islamic empire the Christian inhabitants of Egypt and the Fertile Crescent were probably better off as dhimmis under Muslim Arab rulers than they had been under Byzantine Greeks." (Islamic Political Thought, The basic Concepts p. 51)
He also said, "On the whole there was more genuine toleration of non-Muslims under Islam than there was of non-Christians in medieval Christian states" (Ibid.)
Infact toleration of minorities during prime Muslim rule is unparalleled even to this day. In the Christian West, who claims to have championed the cause of religious and personal freedom, Muslims are subject to much prejudice. In many Western countries Muslim women are not allowed to dress the way Islam prescribes and the way they so yearn to.
In many others Islamic ideals and personalities are ridiculed in the name of 'freedom of expression.' And we also have an example where Muslims are not allowed to build their mosques in the traditional harmless way. And all this happens in states who claim to have divorced with religious 'prejudices.'
The fact of the matter remains that Islam alone is the way forward for humanity and the only system that ensures freedom and tolerance of the minorities is the one that springs from the fountains of Holy Qur'an and the blessed Sunnah of the Holy Prophet on whom be the peace and blessings of the Almighty.
Note: More on the rights of the minorities under the Islamic rule to be found in the article about Jizya that follows soon insha'Allah!

The Older You Get, The More Often You Drink Alcohol, Study Finds
By Ann Brenoff
Friends Eating An Al Fresco Lunch, Holding Wineglasses
The frequency of alcohol consumption increases as you age, according to new research. The UK study, published in the journal BMC Medicine, said that doctors are seeing a growing number of alcohol misuse cases among older adults and that this finding supports concerns that middle-aged adults and the elderly might be abusing alcohol.
The study noted that teenagers drink heavily but do so infrequently -- once or twice a week. But as people grow older, their drinking shifts into a more regular frequency pattern. They drink less at each sitting, but they drink more frequently. A substantial proportion of older men in the UK drink daily or most days of the week, while a majority of women tend to drink monthly or on special occasions, the study found.
In the UK, the majority of the adult population consumes alcohol and the harm associated with alcohol affects all parts of society, according to a press release on the study. Lead author Dr. Annie Britton from University College London is quoted as saying, "Understanding how drinking behavior fluctuates throughout life is important to identify high risk groups and trends over time."
The researchers looked at both the average amount of alcohol consumed per week and the frequency of drinking. The findings were based on over 174,000 alcohol observations collected over a 34-year period, spanning from 1979 to 2013, from participants born in different eras, said the release.
While the study found that drinking patterns change more for men than women, both genders follow a similar pattern: A rapid increase in the volume of alcohol consumption during adolescence that comes to a peak in early adulthood, followed by a plateau in mid-life, and then a decline in the volume consumed in one sitting into older ages. But as men age, the frequency of their alcohol intake increases.
A similar study published in 2013 found that more than a third of the British population drank unhealthy quantities of alcohol. The findings uncovered high levels of binge drinking and said there was a discrepancy between alcohol sales and the amount people say they drink in surveys. Another study said that despite having one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption in the world, Brits are the least inclined to cut down their intake. That survey of more than 13,000 people across 12 countries found that Britons are over a third more likely to drink alcohol than the average and more than twice as likely to drink every day. And that's for all ages.
What do you think? Do you find people drink more frequently, the older they get? Let us know your thoughts in comments.

A: You can set a fixed height /width for your images however you risk the images becoming skewed. I set a fixed height below, and the images will display within the window, and the thumbs will all be of the same height, however you'd be better off starting with images that are of similar dimensions and using % or vertical height (vh) to size the images smaller as appropriate to what you want.
Hope this helps
