Radoslav Rochallyi, né le  à Bardejov, est un poète et philosophe slovaque.

Biographie
Radoslav Rochallyi est né à Bardejov, dans la région de Prešov de l'actuelle République slovaque. L'auteur a terminé ses études de philosophie à la faculté des arts de Université de Prešov (1999 - 2005). Il a terminé ses études de troisième cycle Ph.D.  Il a enseigné à la faculté de pédagogie de l'université de Prešov.

Œuvre
Il a fait ses débuts avec le recueil de poésie Panoptikum: Haikai no renga (2004), écrit en haiku japonais. Selon Jan Balaz, la poésie de Radoslav Rochally se caractérise par l'utilisation d'un vers libre, qui donne à l'auteur la liberté et la franchise nécessaires pour conserver la nature spécifique du témoignage sans fioritures.

Le langage poétique de Rochally se caractérise par l'austérité, le minimalisme, la directivité et une relation introspective distincte avec le texte.

Selon Maria Varga, le livre  Mythra Invictus  avec le sous-titre Fate of Man est un poème philosophique, indiquant qu'un écrivain doit se séparer de la terre, être lui-même, exploiter au mieux son potentiel créatif humain, être plus humain - être un nouvel homme, un futur.

Selon Lenka Vrebl, la perception de Radoslav Rochallyi n'est pas ludique, elle est sérieuse, directe et ciblée. Dans  Golden Divine, il atteint son point culminant d'expérimentation de formes de vers et de poésie dans leur ensemble. Dans ce recueil, il a essayé de relier la poésie à Fi () et, partant, au numéro 1.618034 sous une forme non graphique et à une partie dorée sous sa forme graphique.

Rochallyi est étroitement liée aux mathématiques. Dans l'essai philosophique Mythra Invictus, il écrit :

Dans la collection DNA-Canvases of Poetry, il utilise des équations mathématiques pour exprimer sa poésie.
Outre son livre, des équations poétiques ont également été publiées dans des anthologies.

Il utilise des poèmes basés sur les mathématiques, en particulier sur les équations mathématiques et le nombre d'or. En philosophie, il est un partisan du déterminisme mathématique.

Cases reported "Factor XIII Deficiency"
1/63. Bleeding disorder with abnormal wound healing, acid-soluble clots and normal factor XIII.
An unusual bleeding disorder clinically resembling factor xiii deficiency is presented. The only detectable coagulation abnormality was rapid clot dissolution in 1% monochloroacetic acid. This abnormality was ascribed to the sustained increase of a pepsin-like plasma protease which is activated at low pH. Asystematic search for similar phenomena revealed that massive blood transfusion may also enhance plasma-clot solubility in acid, possibly by release of a red cell protease. We conclude that the acid clot solubility test is not a specific indicator of factor xiii deficiency, but this simple assay is recommended for further studies of acid plasma protease activity. The diagnostic relevance and pathophysiologic importance of increased pepsin-like activity in plasma remain to be elucidated.
2/63. Bleeding risk and reproductive capacity among patients with factor xiii deficiency: a case presentation and review of the literature.
factor xiii deficiency is an uncommon, inherited bleeding disorder that usually manifests in infancy or early childhood, involving both boys and girls. We present the case of a woman who had experienced two previous intracranial bleeding events, and was treated before and during her current pregnancy with factor XIII concentrate. Her pregnancy was successful, and she experienced an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. To better understand the issues surrounding bleeding, reproductive capacity, and management of factor xiii deficiency during pregnancy, we conducted a systematic literature review using medline from 1966 to December 1998. We also examined the bibliographic references from all articles, and included all cases, case reports, or case series of patients with factor xiii deficiency. We retrieved data on 117 patients from 37 articles, the majority of which had type II deficiency. Among untreated patients with type II factor xiii deficiency, the literature suggests an elevated mortality rate due to uncontrolled bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage. Because of its high degree of efficacy, the evidence supports the use of life long prophylactic therapy with at least monthly infusions of factor XIII concentrate, including during pregnancy. The opinion that women with type II factor xiii deficiency have inevitable recurrent abortions, or that men are sterile, is not well substantiated. No data were found on whether treatment alters male reproductive capacity. A policy of universal factor XIII replacement, starting in childhood, will likely enable more patients to attain reproductive status. The development of an international data registry would optimally address both bleeding risk and reproductive capacity among patients with factor xiii deficiency.
3/63. Maternal blood coagulation factor XIII is associated with the development of cytotrophoblastic shell.
We analysed the early implantation tissues of normal women and of a patient with congenital factor xiii deficiency in order to study the role of maternal subunit A of factor XIII (XIIIA) in the development of extravillous cytotrophoblast. The patient had received adequate administration of factor xiiia concentrate only up to 7 weeks of gestation (wG). Her pregnancy was maintained until the latter half of 8 wG, but was terminated by intrauterine fetal death at 9 wG. Immunohistochemical staining of cytokeratin, XIIIA and subunit S of factor XIII was performed in the early implantation tissues of normal women and of this patient. Numerous well-formed cytotrophoblastic shells and Nitabuch's layers were detected in implantation tissues at 7-8 wG in normal women, and XIIIA was present in the intercellular space in well-formed cytotrophoblastic shells, while the cytotrophoblastic shells and Nitabuch's layers in this patient's implantation tissue were poorly-formed. Furthermore, XIIIA was not detected around them. It is suggested that when the maternal plasma activity of factor XIII is low, the concentration of XIIIA at the placental bed is also low, leading to the insufficient formation of cytotrophoblastic shell and therefore an increased probability of miscarriage in patients with congenital factor xiii deficiency.
4/63. factor xiii deficiency causing mutation, Ser295Arg, in exon 7 of the factor xiiia gene.
Inherited factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder which results in a serious bleeding diathesis, problems with wound healing and a very high risk of recurrent miscarriage in deficient females. We have analysed the molecular basis of factor xiii deficiency in two patients and their parents, who originate from the North of pakistan. Four sequence changes were identified: an AGC-->AGG (Ser-->Arg) FXIII deficiency-causing mutation in codon 295; G-->A at position -246 upstream of exon 1; T-->C and C-->T at positions -23 and -24, respectively, in intron 9. Using molecular modelling we predict that the Ser295Arg mutation would prevent the FXIIIA molecule from folding correctly and thus result in an unstable FXIIIA mutant polypeptide. The sequence changes -246G-->A, -23T-->C and -24C-->T are normal polymorphisms. RT-PCR analysis demonstrates that the intronic sequence changes do not appear to affect the accuracy of FXIIIA rna processing.
5/63. Identification of a new mutation (Gly420Ser), distal to the active site, that leads to factor xiii deficiency.
The molecular defects of the factor XIII A subunit gene were studied in a patient with factor xiii deficiency. mutation analysis was performed on amplified dna from each exon of this gene by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and dna sequencing techniques. A substitution of guanine by adenine at nucleotide 1258 in exon 10 of the coagulation factor XIII A subunit gene has been identified in the patient. The mutation results in the replacement of Gly420 by Ser in the core domain of the enzyme. Restriction enzyme analysis of amplified exon 10 dna confirmed that the patient was homozygous for this mutation. A family study revealed that the mutation was inherited from both parents, who were first cousins. The potential effects of the mutation were predicted by molecular modeling of the amino acid substitution within the coordinates of the crystal structure. The substitution occurred within the core domain of the enzyme at a residue completely conserved among all known members of the transglutaminase family. The model of the mutant protein suggests that although the substitution of Gly420 by Ser causes only minor readjustment of the residues and does not appear to be particularly deleterious in terms of structure, the mutation is, however, likely to decrease the molecule's ability to undergo the conformational change that is thought to be required for full transglutaminase activity. Our data strongly support the previously published information about the functional significance of the residues surrounding, but not forming, the catalytic pocket in the A subunit of factor XIII.
6/63. Two novel and one recurrent missense mutation in the factor XIII A gene in two Dutch patients with factor xiii deficiency.
Congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, usually attributed to a defect in the FXIII A subunit, whose genetic basis has been studied in a number of cases. We describe here the genetic variations found in two unrelated patients with FXIII deficiency. Both patients, under prophylactic substitution with FXIII concentrate, showed low plasma FXIII A subunit antigen levels with undetectable A subunit antigen in the platelets and normal plasma B antigen levels, which indicate that the defects are present in the A subunit of the molecule. Both probands were heterozygous for a previously reported G-->A transversion in exon 8 of the FXIII A subunit gene (Arg326Gln substitution). Proband 1 was also heterozygous for a novel G-->T transversion in exon 7, which predicts a Val316Phe substitution. Two of her sons were heterozygous for this mutation and showed low FXIII activity and FXIII A subunit antigen levels. Val316 is a well-conserved amino acid among the transglutaminase family, located within the core domain, close to the Cys314 member of the catalytic triad. Proband 2 had a unique 2-bp (TT) insertion in one of the alleles within or adjacent to the -7 to -20 T tail of intron A. This insertion was not found in 50 healthy individuals, which supports this being the second mutation in this patient.
7/63. Identification of a new Leu354Pro mutation responsible for factor xiii deficiency.
We report a new homozygous CTG-->CCG (Leu-->Pro) mutation at codon 354 in the factor xiiia gene of a patient suffering from FXIII deficiency. Leu354 lies in a pocket within the core domain of the FXIIIA molecule, with its side chain pointing into the structure of the barrel 1 domain. Replacement of leucine with a proline residue gives rise to steric hindrance between the proline ring and the surrounding residues, and rearrangement of these residues would be necessary for proline to be accommodated at this position. Using PCR-RFLP, we have demonstrated the absence of this mutation from 220 normal alleles. Together, these data suggest that Leu354Pro is likely to be the disease-causing mutation in this factor XIII deficient family.
8/63. Novel Y283C mutation of the A subunit for coagulation factor XIII: molecular modelling predicts its impaired protein folding and dimer formation.
In an Italian patient with severe factor xiii deficiency, a novel mutation, Y283C (TAT to TGT), was identified heterozygously by nucleotide sequencing analysis in exon VII of the gene for the A subunit. The presence of this mutation was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in the proband and his brother. Molecular modelling predicts that the mutant molecule would be misfolded. It is probable that the impaired folding of the mutant Y283C A subunit led to its instability, which is at least in part responsible for the factor xiii deficiency of this patient.
9/63. factor xiii deficiency. A family study by measurement of factor XIII subunits A and S.
A girl with congenital factor xiii deficiency and her large family have been studied by electroimmunoassay of factor XIII subunits A and S. The homozygote has absence of subunit A and a decreased level of subunit S. The heterozygotes have decreased levels of both subunits, and were more readily identified by measurement of subunit A than by the ratio subunit S/subunit A. The mother of the propositus appears to be a new heterozygote, but heterozygosity on the paternal side is traced through three generations.
10/63. Unusual presentation of factor xiii deficiency.
factor xiii deficiency is a rare inherited bleeding disorder that is often difficult to diagnose. The standard screening tests are normal in these patients and their bleeding phenotype may be variable. We report the case of a 3-year-old girl who presented with an intracranial haemorrhage. Several confounding factors, such as the suspicion of an arteriovenous malformation and the development of a deep venous thrombosis, led to a delay in the diagnosis of factor xiii deficiency. Subsequently, her brother was also found to have severe factor xiii deficiency. This case highlights the importance of a detailed history and of screening families in which index cases have been identified. It should also remind physicians that bleeding disorders may have unusual presentations and should be sought when investigating unexplained bleeding.

Claude King (February 5, 1923 – March 7, 2013) was an American country music singer and songwriter, best known for his million selling 1962 hit, "Wolverton Mountain".

Biography
King was born in Keithville in southern Caddo Parish south of Shreveport in northwestern Louisiana. At a young age, he was interested in music but also in athletics and the outdoors. He purchased a guitar at the age of twelve, and although he learned to play, most of his time was devoted to sports. He received a baseball scholarship to the University of Idaho at Moscow, Idaho.

From 1942 to 1945, he served in the United States Navy during World War II.

Music career
King formed a band with his friends Buddy Attaway and Tillman Franks called the Rainbow Boys. The trio played around Shreveport in their spare time while working an assortment of other jobs. He joined the Louisiana Hayride, a television and radio show produced at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium and broadcast throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. King was frequently on the same programs with Elvis Presley, Tex Ritter, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells, Jimmie Davis, Slim Whitman, Faron Young, Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves, George Jones, Tommy Tomlinson, and Lefty Frizzell.

King recorded a few songs for Gotham Records though none were successful. In 1961, he became more serious about a musical career and signed with the Nashville division of Columbia Records. He struck immediately, cutting "Big River, Big Man," both a country top 10 and a small pop crossover success. He soon followed with "The Comancheros" inspired by the John Wayne film of the same name It was a top 10 country hit in late 1961 and crossed over into the popular chart.

King released his best-known recording in the spring of 1962. "Wolverton Mountain," written with Nashville veteran Merle Kilgore, is based on a real character, Clifton Clowers, an uncle of Kilgore's who lived on Wolverton Mountain north of Morrilton, Arkansas. King and Kilgore agree that the original composition of the song lacked polish and that King eventually shaped the song into the hit that it became. According to long-time King guitarist, Robin Vosbury, Clowers came to numerous shows and asked everybody to call him "Uncle Clifton."  The song became an immediate hit. For nine weeks beginning on June 30, 1962, it ranked No. 1 on the Billboard country chart, on which it remained for a total of twenty-six weeks. It was also a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.  Having sold more than one million copies, it was awarded gold disc status.

King followed up with a song about the 1864 battle of Atlanta in the Civil War. "The Burning Of Atlanta" also reached the Top 10 on the country chart and made the pop chart. In late 1962, King recorded "I've Got The World By The Tail," which narrowly missed the country Top 10.

In 1963, King scored three country hits with "Sheepskin Valley," "Building a Bridge," and "Hey Lucille!"  The hits continued in 1964 with "Sam Hill," and in 1965 he was back in the Top 10 with "Tiger Woman," co-written with Merle Kilgore. King did well that year with "Little Buddy." His smooth style continued to find favor throughout the decade, especially songs like "Catch a Little Raindrop" and the Top 10 hit, "All for the Love of A Girl" in 1969. His singles continued to make the country charts through 1972. He left the label in 1973 after twenty-nine hits.

In 1977, King recorded in some sessions for producer Howard A. Knight, Jr. On March 23 of that year he recorded "No Thanks Boys" which wasn't released. On the 25th he recorded and one of the tracks was "Cotton Dan". Other sessions that were produced by Knight were on April 26 and June 7 and 8.

Besides a career recording and touring, King performed as an actor in several movies. Along with his great-nephew, Chris Aable, King is among the few actors who are members in both the Screen Actors Guild and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. King had roles in several feature films, including 1971's Swamp Girl and 1972's Year of the Yahoo!.

In 1981, Governor Frank D. White of Arkansas paid tribute to King by declaring August 7 "Wolverton Mountain Day."

On June 3, 2003, King released a CD called Cowboy in the White House, co-produced with Robin Vosbury and Tillman Franks and released by Sun Records. Elvis Presley's guitarist, James Burton, also performs on the album.

On February 11, 2007, King was inducted into the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce Walk of Stars. He joined other celebrities with strong ties to the Greater Shreveport area in this honor, including Terry Bradshaw, Kix Brooks, Johnnie Cochran, Tom Jarriel, Joe Ferguson, Eddie Robinson, Hal Sutton, and David Toms, as well as his musical colleagues, James Burton, Jim Reeves, Faron Young, Jimmie Davis, Chris Aable, Elvis Presley, and Tillman Franks.

King was a part of the "Magic Circle", which was a description of the ArkLaTex area coined by his longtime friend Tillman Franks, described as: "an area 50 miles in radius from downtown Shreveport. All kinds of music evolved from this Magic Circle."

In 2011, King was named one of "Five Living Legends of Shreveport" by Danny Fox (1954–2014) of KWKH radio. Others named were Bob Griffin of KSLA and KTBS-TV, James Burton, Hank Williams, Jr., and Frank Page, who like King died in 2013.

Death
King died suddenly at his home in Shreveport on March 7, 2013, at the age of ninety. He is survived by his wife, the former Barbara Coco; three sons, Daune Coco King, Bradley T. King, and Jerome Jay King; along with one niece and three nephews, Barbara Watson, Joseph Brown, Mark Brown, and Chris Aable. He and his wife, Barbara, had just celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary a month prior to his death.

Services were held on March 13, 2013, at the Centuries Funeral Home Chapel in Shreveport, with the Reverend William D. "Billy" Franks and the Reverend Tim Maloy officiating. Interment followed at Centuries Memorial Park. Franks (born 1925) is the younger brother of Tillman Franks and the retired founding pastor of the Oakmont Church of God in the Cedar Grove section of Shreveport. He also preached at the funeral of Johnny Horton in November 1960.

The team around PC24 with Arnold Meier, Julius Jezerniczky and Daniel Vogt successfully completed the roll out of their PC24. The result can be seen more than we find. I met Julius at the Hausen Meeting this fall. In short, we took the PC24 out of the static display and discussed a possible lighting solution. A few weeks later, our system is installed and runs flawlessly.
Acceleration tests showed that the PC-24 was going to take off. But there is still some fine tuning (focus, etc …) needed, then the maiden flight is due.
The whole innoflyer team is very pleased about the great combination of state-of-the-art Swiss jet and Swiss lighting solution. Who invented it?


Custom software development is a serious investment, and in order to benefit from that investment, you need to find software that can stand the test of time. While there's no way to predict the future, there are key features and traits you should consider before and during development that will promote software longevity. Most are fairly simple. Look for a good fit that leaves room for growth, and take time to hire a local developer who provides additional services.
Custom software development isn't uncommon. However, finding custom software developers willing to tailor software to suit your exact business needs is uncommon. These services might cost more, but they provide a better investment that outlasts simpler products. The more your custom software meets your specific business needs, the fewer problems it causes. Not only will it cause fewer problems, but it will help you meet your goals more efficiently. This should expand the life of not only your software investment, but also your client list.
Well-fitted software also takes your existing hardware and network capabilities into consideration. The right fit won't overburden your system or take up unnecessary storage space that you need for other functions. Tailoring is key. While many developers sell custom software that is tweaked for individual customers, it isn't always tailored to your needs. Remember, there is a difference between custom software, and custom software developed specifically for your business.
Local developers have a series of benefits any business can take advantage of. At the top of that list is market awareness. While custom software from overseas companies depends a great deal on second hand research and established trends, local developers have a natural understanding of the clientele you serve. Research is still imperative, of course, but even that is easier and more thorough with the local advantage.
Local custom software development ensures the best fit, too. Just as locals understand your market better than overseas companies, they also understand local regulations, business culture, and standards. The best developers meet with you in person to best understand your unique goals. These collaborative efforts go a long way in ensuring a good fit. As we discussed above, this is the best way to get long lasting custom software.
Good customer service and technical support will ensure your new software serves a long and productive life. Good support goes beyond any warranty, though. When you're shopping for software developers, look for those who offer multiple services. A software development company that offers separate technical support services helps you plan for the future. These services often include integration, trouble shooting, and emergency backup and recovery services.
No one knows custom software like the individuals who developed it. Try moving the majority of your software-related business to the company responsible for development. Your business gains the developer's insight into future problems. This would take outside troubleshooters far more time to acquire. This saves time in emergencies, but it also secures a service provider with a vested interest in the longevity of your custom software.
The best custom software fits your current business needs. However, to make it last, developers need to take your business plans for the future into consideration. After all, if software matches today's needs, but not tomorrows, it won't be effective for long. Custom software is a major investment, and you want to receive a long lasting product in exchange. In order to last, custom software needs to be flexible. Moreover, developers should make space for future add-ons and expansions.
Perhaps your software needs to accommodate data from a new office branch. Or, maybe you plan on diversifying your services in the next few years. Software must be flexible to address these changes. Often, expansions are as simple as additional memory or more detailed file type compatibility. However, inflexible software fails to adapt. When you speak with your developer, explain where your business is headed. With his or her understanding of developing trends in technology, you should be able to find the right balance between efficiency for today and flexibility for tomorrow. This collaboration is key to software longevity.
Long lasting custom software works well, and that requires a great fit. There is no better way to stack the odds in your favor than to hire a local, multi-service developer. Such a developer comes with the skills, insight, and proximity needed for close collaboration. This is a preemptive measure that saves time and money down the road, in addition to its many immediate advantages. Custom software development helps grow your business. For this reason, it's important that developers leave expandable options. Together, these features outline not only a great custom software product, but one that will last for many years to come.


Many recent developments in open learning - vibrant ecosystem of open learning: does that happen, and are these sustainable?
Background of many open educational courses, and services - quote from David Wiley.
Theoretical background: Andreas Meiszner PhD framework - OER are one element of Open Education, embed within an overall Open Educational Service - largely independent of institutions, self-organised, flexible roles. Open participation, open outputs. Artefacts and captured learning enable others to re-experience them later.
OpenED 2.0 project - EU Lifelong Learning Programme. Based on Joomla.
Focus on Business and Management Competencies in Web 2.0 World - based on OU's H809 and EEDE materials. Facilitation infrastructure - chat, facilitators - see if can be provided within community or by third-party tuition. Private virtual tuition. Face-to-face teaching of classes in Tanzania.
RQs around how it develops, the learning, cross-cultural issues, sustainability.
Comprehensive data capture strategy combining several methodologies. Site forums, website visits, IRC chat sessions, learning reflection forms. PLus interviews, surveys, learning design analysis.
Multi-national context raises interesting issues for indicators and measures - translaiton conversations with Greek assessors of quality in student learning. UK more emphasis on feedback; Greek more on emphasis on participation by learners.
Numbers - 490 registrations, 7 facilitators, 111 activities uploaded (part of the assignments).
A lot of interest from Africa, partly due to impact of publicity. Much interest there, but shrinks substantially by weight of accessing the site.
Contrasting experience of participants. Learner reflection forms really useful for this; also end of course survey. One theme - online group interaction valued.
Also issue around sustaining study. Low threshold to drop in, or to drop out. Fall off over time of intensity of engagement.
Interesting questions about role of the tutors. Also tensions in the design process.
James: People can study this at any time. But quite a lot of activities are group activities so hard to do if noone else around. Mostly activity-based. Have pre-defined periods of time so learner knows there'll be other learners and a facilitator, might encourage you to submit. Good question! Have best of both worlds. Will community carry on with these after the funding ceases? Less clear.
James: We have self-certification. The system knows you've submitted something, but not what's there, but will print off a certificate to say you've submitted it. UNU-MERIT have their logo attached to it. Hope could be more formally assessed - we have criteria around them. Will see what happens.
Simon: Peer assessment. None in first round. 3 of 66 were peer-assessed, was 'this looks great'. But from survey, 7 of 13 agreed with 'Do you feel you have had sufficient support and feedback from the assignment'. So are getting it, but not happening in what we label/assign for peer assessment.
James: The quality varies, from a page which looked like Wikipedia to something quite sophisticated and rich and clearly original.


While studying psychology at Michigan State (a long time ago), I was able to develop some expertise and a deep understanding of the natural healing process within the human psyche through a year-long practicum course called "Sensitivity to Children." Our work was based on the book Play Therapy by Virginia M. Axline, 1947. The idea is that given permission to express themselves, a safe and supportive environment, and quality loving attention, children will naturally do exactly what they need to do to heal the hurts inside. We all have a built-in capacity for healing. Healing is a profoundly natural process. Everything else that I have learned seems to build upon this basic understanding.
In later years in my own work, this basic philosophy and approach to helping others would be applied to a variety of situations and clients. As a speech language pathologist I would use these skills to assist children with a range of communication problems, especially when accompanied by significant emotional or behavioral issues. Sometimes play therapy was the only thing some children would respond to, even though parents and schools wanted me to focus on developing speech or language skills. Play therapy built trust and non-verbal communication, which led to greater behavioral self-regulation and ultimately to significant verbal development. Most importantly, the children had a very positive experience of learning and were able reduce negative attitudes and behaviors.
My background in play therapy influenced my work with teens and adults as well. No matter what the therapeutic goal, teaching and healing are always a kind of dance that require meeting in the middle, making a connection and finding a way to move together. Client and practitioner bring to each session together their own repertoire of moves plus their conscious and unconscious beliefs and emotions. Whenever possible I sought out ways to address agreed upon communication goals through working with the immediate concerns my clients brought to each session.
Throughout much of my adult life, I have actively explored different forms of authentic expression and emotional release work including: co-counseling, body-centered psychotherapy, dance therapy, soul singing and various kinds of breathwork. All of these experiences have been very valuable for me. They played an important role in the development of greater understanding and expertise in working with emotions and energy.
For a number of years I studied, practiced and taught Re-evaluation Co-counseling, a form of peer support work that emphasizes the natural release of emotional energy. I also attended workshops sponsored by a local chapter of Co-counseling International. Both of these communities emphasize peer support for the natural healing process.
I explored a variety of breathwork systems, including Transformational Breathwork and Motherwave. I found those experiences quite helpful in pushing boundaries for accessing and releasing emotional energy. Here's an article about Transformational Breathwork.
After developing some of my own methodologies for body-centered authentic movement intervention (I like to call it "supporting what wants to happen") I discovered that it had a strong resemblance to the Hakomi method as described in Body-Centered Psychotherapy, the Hakomi Method, by Ron Kurtz.

Cyclists train for MS ride
Published 12:00 am Thursday, September 1, 2016
LaGRANGE — Participants of an upcoming bike ride from Newnan to LaGrange have less than a month to train and raise funds for multiple sclerosis.
The Atlanta Peach Ride, sponsored by the National MS Society, begins at the Blalock Lakes community in Newnan and ends in downtown LaGrange between Oct. 1 and 2, according to its organizers. The ride offers 30, 60 and 100 miles options.
Participants pay a $75 registration fee and must raise at least $350 in funds to go toward MS research.
One local couple is planning to bike 60 miles during the race, and have been training throughout the year. Pat and Thelon Hamby of LaGrange aim to complete the race over a two-day period. But for the Hambys, the race is about more than cycling or raising funds.
Pat Hamby said she was diagnosed with MS is 2001.
"I heard about the MS Bike Ride, and for my 60th birthday, I thought, 'how perfect, I can ride 60 miles for MS on my 60th birthday,'" Pat Hamby said. She completed the race and it inspired her husband, Thelon Hamby, to do the same — this year around the time of his 60th birthday.
"I've just started riding my bike this year," Thelon Hamby said. "So I'm new to this. It's basically a 30 mile ride down here, and then the next day, it's 30 miles back, so it's 60 miles over the two days."
Pat Hamby's journey with MS has taken years. After she was diagnosed, she started cycling at a local gym. She did it for strength training to combat MS, and soon started biking on the roads. Although MS was the primary reason she started, she's seen benefits in other areas of her health.
"Whenever you have any kind of disease, you have to stay active," Pat Hamby said. "This is just something I can do. I just know from going to my doctor visits, my blood pressure is good, my cholesterol is good, and it helps with your overall health."
Pat Hamby said she was diagnosed after years of symptoms but no conclusive tests. Eventually an MRI showed the tell-tale signs, and she began taking medication, which helps control her symptoms.
MS is thought to affect as many as 2.3 million people worldwide, according to the National MS Society. The disease's exact cause isn't know, but it occurs when the immune system attacks a fatty substance that coats nerves called myelin. The damaged myelin forms scars tissue, called sclerosis, which damages the nerve and can cause a variety of symptoms. There is no known cure for MS.
Anyone interested in signing up for the Bike MS Atlanta Beach Ride may register by visiting www.bikeMS.org.

Yes we've all seen the posts, the 'Back to School' photos that are littered all over our social media feeds. Proud little faces, all trussed up in their shiny new uniforms, eagerly awaiting the new school year – these photos signal the official end of the summer holidays and they mark the start of a year of hard work.
What does this have to do with us adults I hear you cry? Well, like it or not, our annual working calendar usually still does take on this academic format. Summer months are inevitably spent stretching the capabilities of a skeleton staff as people still enjoy taking their main vacations during the months of June through to August. Obviously, this does depend on which industry you work in, but for the majority of us, it is not unusual to enjoy a slower pace of life at work during those core summer months as everyone subconsciously embraces the lure and lull of the summer holidays.
However, with the return of the kids to school, thus we return to that manic period at work between now and Christmas where schedules are jam-packed, deadlines are tight, and everyone straps themselves in for the hard work ahead.
1.	There are only 10 Monday mornings left until Christmas. 10 is NOTHING, right? We suggest that you start by chalking each Monday up on your office wall so you can visualise the countdown. Perhaps ask your bosses permission first, or at least use a bright colour, you know, so it doesn't look quite so solitary-confinement esque… and if that doesn't work? Check out our post on 'Happy Monday's' instead.
2.	Days are shorter – yes with the onset of Autumn comes the darker mornings and even darker, earlier nights, but do not fear! The earlier the sun sets, the more acceptable it is to drink a glass of wine without fear of judgement. So, roll on those dark skies and stock up the vino supplies!
3.	Squirrels get smarter, and so can you. It's true, during the next few months, grey squirrels are busy burying hundreds of nuts and seeds to serve as emergency winter larders. This typically shows a 15 percent increase in the memory and emotion centre of the brain, making them far more efficient compared to the rest of the year. What can we learn from this? Well, we could use it as a metaphor to encourage us to flourish in the face of an increased workload – or, we could take it as being advisable to hide snacks in hundreds of accessible hiding places to get us through the winter (so, so smart, I think you'll all agree).
Well, there you have it, your top facts to help you through the next few months and ease those 'back to school' blues.
If you're facing a really busy few months and need some help with your next marketing, social or digital campaign, get in touch today, we'd love to help!

Rice D2K Lab Transitions Showcase to a Live, Interactive Virtual Experience
Rice D2K Lab and Students Step Up to the Challenge of COVID-19
The Center for Transforming Data to Knowledge, informally known as the D2K Lab, adapted to the challenges of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic to host a virtual end of semester Showcase.
On April 22, the Spring 2020 D2K Virtual Showcase went live with over 300 participants from different parts of the country visiting the showcase online, watching student video presentations, interacting with student teams in their own Zoom Q&A room, and coming together at the end for a live awards ceremony.
Ten teams of 5-6 students from the D2K Learning Lab participated in the Virtual Showcase. The D2K Learning Lab is a data science and machine learning capstone program where interdisciplinary teams of students work on a semester-long real-world project sponsored by D2K Affiliate Members.
Team Medical Informatics Corp. won the competition for their project, "Beat-to-beat Classification of Unlabeled ECGs in Adult Populations."
"My favorite part about the Medical Informatics Corp. project was that it required different skills such as data wrangling, signal processing and modeling. I've learned a lot about working in teams, and how to build a robust data science pipeline that was reproducible, reusable and reliable. Our sponsors and D2K Fellow were very helpful." said Nicole Tan, a junior '21, studying Electrical Engineering.
Additionally, five student teams from the COVID-19 Houston Response Projects (CHRP) competition presented their work at the showcase. CHRP is a data science competition that the Rice DataSci Club and the D2K Lab launched three weeks ago to encourage Rice students to get involved in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Team Stay at Home won the CHRP competition for their project, "Mobility and Predictors of Movement During COVID-19."
"Our team benefitted from the various skill sets that each team member brought to the table. We're very grateful to have won first place; all of the CHRP projects were so unique and it was a pleasure to compete against and engage with their projects as well" said Connor Rothschild, a rising senior '21, studying Social Policy Analysis.
The showcase was sponsored by Bill.com, ExxonMobil and Energy Transfer. The D2K Lab is supported by a $4 million gift from Rice alumnus Kevin Harvey and his wife Catherine Harvey.

Partners expanding in Fruita area
By Jill Derrieux on June 9, 2015 Comments Off on Partners expanding in Fruita area

As we near the halfway point of 2015, Mesa County Partners would like to update readers on our expansion into the Fruita area.
Consider, for example, the long-standing partnership between John Caldwell and Anthony. They participate in a variety of activities, including Miata rides, exploring the Bookcliffs and playing broomball at Glacier Ice Area, where John is an amazing goalie. They also spend a lot of time at the Loma Airport working on airplanes. John enjoys allowing Anthony to experience new adventures and says he has been made aware of all the different activities available for youth in our area.
Mesa County Partners has used the recreation center in Fruita for the youth on our waiting list. Through state funding, we've purchased passes for our participants to have a safe, healthy place to exercise and socialize with their peers. We hope to continue this collaborative effort in the future and appreciate the efforts of the Fruita rec center.
We also have been fortunate to use the Business Incubator Center satellite office in Fruita as a place to hold our quarterly minor in possession classes. These classes cover the effects of marijuana and alcohol in teen-ages. The classes are ordered by the judge who presides over the case of the offending youth. Upcoming classes are scheduled for noon to 4 p.m. July 8 and 15. After school resumes, the classes will run from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Oct. 1, 8, 15 and 22.
In addition to the classes, some courts mandate offending teens perform community services. Mesa County Partners facilitates these hours by supervising youth work crews. Depending on the offense, the courts also could order youth to pay restitution to their victims. Youth on work crews earn an hourly rate paid to victims. These work crews complete jobs in the Fruita area. For example, crews helped clear tamarisk along the Colorado River for the expanded Riverfront Trail. Crews have also cleared ditches before spring irrigation started. You'll see our crews working in the Fruita area on Sundays.
If you live in the Fruita area and would like to hire a crew for yard work or cleanup, call the Partners office at 245-5555, extension 13, for more information.
These things would not be possible without the support of the City of Fruita and Fruita Rotary Club. In addition, the Redlands Rotary Club has donated a trailer and tools for our crews in Fruita.
Jill Derrieux
Please watch for upcoming events and fund-raisers for Mesa County Partners. We've scheduled a 5-kilometer Color Dash on July 25 at Canyonview Park, a Hazel Miller concert at Grande River Vineyards for Aug. 1 and our annual live television auction for Sept. 11 and 12.
With more than 80 youth on our waiting list, we're always looking for adults willing to commit three hours a week to become a senior partner.

After an IBM ThinkPad T43 caught fire at Los Angeles International Airport, the company started an investigation that led to the latest recall of Sony batteries.
Lenovo Group will begin recalling Sony batteries used in certain models of its IBM ThinkPads, the company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Sept. 28.
Lenovo will voluntarily recall about 168,500 Sony battery packs that had been used in IBM ThinkPad notebooks in the United States.
The Raleigh, N.C.-based computer marker now joins Dell and Apple Computer in recalling notebooks batteries that have caused fires and, in some cases, minor injuries to users.
At the same time, Sony announced that it would start a global replacement program for certain battery packs that had been used in notebooks.
Problems with the Sony batteries Lenovo used first surfaced at Los Angeles International Airport earlier in September, when a IBM ThinkPad T43 caught fire.
Lenovo, which purchased IBMs PC group in May 2005, obtained the LAX ThinkPad, and began an investigation to determine if the pack contained Sony battery cells of the same type that have been involved in overheating incidents and fires reported by Dell and Apple.
Not long after the investigation began, a chorus of industry analysts voiced their opinion that the company would have to start a recall, following earlier pledges by Dell and Apple.
/zimages/6/28571.gifWhat are PC makers doing to try to improve battery cell safety? Click here to read more.
Improperly manufactured lithium-ion battery cells produced by Sony were at the root of the recall of 4.1 million batteries by Dell on Aug. 14 and the recall of 1.8 million battery packs by Apple on Aug. 24.
Right after Dell and Sony announced the first recall, Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard each said they had used Sony battery cells, but said they were confident that they would avoid similar problems because their designs use different charging and battery protection schemes.
Lenovo and Sony said the company would replace any batteries for free.

Crisp, Stephen (DNB00)
←Crisp, Samuel
Crisp, Stephen

Crisp, Tobias→
Crisp, StephenAugustus Charles Bickley1888
CRISP, STEPHEN (1628–1692), quaker, was born and educated at Colchester. From his earliest years he was religiously inclined, and when only ten or twelve, he says in his 'Short History' that he went with 'as much diligence to the reading and hearing of sermons as other children went to their play and sportings.' When seventeen he 'found out … the meetings of the separatists,' to which he belonged until about 1648, when he joined the baptists and became a 'teacher of a separate congregation' (see Records of Colchester Monthly Meeting). Crisp probably made the acquaintance of James Parnel during the imprisonment of the latter in Colchester in 1655, and the intimacy ended in his becoming a quaker. From this time he took an active part in the affairs of the Society of Friends in Essex, although there is no reason to believe that he was a recognised minister till 1659. In 1656 he was imprisoned in Colchester as 'a disturber of the publick peace,' and two years later (Tuke says in 1660) was arrested at a meeting at Norton in Durham, and at the ensuing sessions sent to prison for refusing to take an oath. Immediately after his recognition as a minister he visited Scotland, and during his journey he was severely injured by the people of York. In the same year his name appears among the Friends who petitioned the parliament to allow them to take the place of their fellow-sectaries who had been long in prison. Shortly after the Restoration he was one of the quakers who wrote to the king to complain of the treatment they had received from the scholars and townsfolk of Cambridge, with the result that the council directed the Friends' meeting-house to be pulled down. In 1661 he was apprehended at a meeting at Harwich, and Besse complains that the justice took the unusual step of making out the commitment before he examined his captive. In 1663 he visited Holland, but as he then could not speak Dutch and so had to employ an interpreter, his visit was a failure. As soon as he returned to England he was arrested at Colchester and sent to prison for holding an illegal meeting, where he lay for nearly a year. Crisp now learnt Dutch and German, and in 1667 revisited Holland, whence he went into Germany. He seems to have acted as a kind of missionary bishop in these countries, and to have been highly respected by the authorities, as there is proof that in deference to his request the palsgrave took off the tax of four rix-dollars per family he had imposed on the Friends. This tax, which the quakers had refused to pay as an impost on conscience, had been the cause of much suffering, owing to the merciless way in which goods to many times its amount were seized by the collectors. From time to time Crisp visited England, and early in 1670 he was fined 5l. for infringing the Conventicle Act, and ordered to be imprisoned until it was paid; he was, however, released in three months without payment. He at once went to Denmark, but speedily returning to England made a prolonged preaching excursion in the north, after which he revisited his home at Colchester, 'much,' he records, 'to the joy of my poor wife.' Besse says that during this year he was apprehended at a meeting at Horselydown and fined 20l.; he was probably the preacher, as this was the sum the minister had been fined the week before, while the congregation had been let off with a fine of 5s. each. From this time till shortly before the death of his first wife in 1683 he spent most of his time in Holland and Germany, his principal employment being the establishment and supervision of meetings for discipline. He married again in 1685, losing his second wife in 1687. In 1688, when James II was anxious to conciliate the dissenters, Crisp was by royal command offered the commission of the peace, which he declined. In 1688 and the following year, though suffering from a painful disease, he was actively employed in efforts to get the penal laws suspended, and from this time till his death in 1692 he resided in London. He was buried in the quaker burial-ground at Bunhill Fields.
It is evident from his writings that Crisp was a man of considerable culture and wide views, and the 'testimony of the Colchester Friends' asserts that he was charitable and 'very serviceable to many widows and fatherless.' During the later years of his life his sermons were taken down in shorthand. His style was easy, and he had a dislike both to religious polemics and speculative theology. He wrote very little, and only two or three of his works are more than tracts; that their popularity was very great is shown by the number of times they have been reprinted. The chief are: 1. 'An Epistle to Friends concerning the Present and Succeeding Times,' &c., 1666. 2. 'A Plain Path-way opened to the Simple-hearted,' &c., 1668. 3. 'A Back-slider Reproved and His Folly made Manifest,' &c., 1669 (against Robert Cobbet). 4. 'A Short History of a Long Travel from Babylon to Bethel,' 1711 (autobiographical), republished nineteen times. He also wrote a number of tracts in Dutch. His sermons were published in three volumes in 1693-4, and republished under the title of 'Scripture Truths Demonstrated,' in one volume in 1707, and his works were collected and published by John Field in 1694 under the title of 'A Memorable Account . . . of . . . Stephen Crisp, in his Books and Writings herein collected.' He was no relation of the Thomas Crisp, a quaker apostate, against whom about 1681 he wrote a tract called 'A Babylonish Opposer of Truth,' in reply to the other's 'Babel's Builders Unmask't.'

tells us that anthrax vaccine had the highest reporting rate of adverse events for any currently licensed US vaccine, on page 15 of the CDC brochure (Table 3).
This rate is 91.8 reports per 100,000 doses distributed. It equals 3.7 reports per thousand vaccine recipients, since soldiers receive a total of 4 doses, on average.

Intelligence: Silicon Time Machine
February 11, 2010: Google Earth has a been a boon for military intelligence, both professional and amateur. Now it provides some very useful assistance for military historians, and history buffs in general. That's because a lot of aerial photos of wartime Europe have recently been released. During World War II, there was a lot of aerial photography, and Google Earth has made these aerial photos available, to be viewed with contemporary satellite photos showing how some very bombed out urban areas have been rebuilt in the last 60 years. All this can be seen here.
Meanwhile, over the last five years, Google Earth (earth.google.com) has revolutionized military intelligence, but the military doesn't like to admit it. By putting so much satellite photography at the disposal of so many people, in such an easy-to-use fashion, Google Earth has made much more information available to military professionals (and terrorists, and criminals and academics, etc), who quickly appreciated what a splendid new tool they had.
To the U.S. Department of Defense, Google Earth's major problem was not it's ease-of-use, but the manner in which it showcased the shortcomings of the American NGA (National Geospatial Intelligence Agency). The NGA is responsible for taking the satellite photos, spiffing them up as needed, and getting them to the troops. Trouble is, the stuff still isn't getting to the troops that need it, when they need it. This was made very obvious when Google Earth showed up, and demonstrated how you can get satellite images to anyone, when they need it, with minimal hassle. Many of the newly released World War II aerial photos have been held in classified archives since 1945, just in case they contained some secrets a potential enemy could use. Google Earth has done great damage to this attitude. Changing minds in the military intelligence community isn't easy.
For over two decades, the generals, and other officers with access to "satellite imagery", have been complaining about the difficulty they have in getting their hands on this stuff. Hundreds of billions of dollars has been spent on photo satellites since the 1960s, and the troops always seem to get leftovers, if anything. Yet the satellite people regularly con Congress out of more money so they can build more satellites, and neat systems that will get the satellite imagery "to the troops." The goods never arrive, or never arrive in time. Generals gave angry testimony before Congress about this non-performance after the 1991 war. The satellite people seemed contrite, and said they would make it right. If given the money to do it. They got the money and the troops got nothing.
Then the troops got access to Google Earth, and have seen what they have been missing. To make matters worse, the software Google Earth uses to get the job done, was first developed for the NGA. But the way the NGA operates, you have to worry about security considerations, and all manner of bureaucratic details, before you can deploy a useful tool. The troops are fighting a war, you say? Well, we still have to deal with security and keeping the paperwork straight. But now the troops are beating NGA over the head with Google Earth, and Congress took notice. However, NGA bureaucrats are close at hand, and the angry troops are far away. Progress is still slow. But at least the troops have Google Earth, unfortunately, so does the enemy.

One of Wilmington newest residential properties is almost ready to be filled with tenants.
The Lofts at Clifford Brown Walk, an affordable housing development in downtown Wilmington is now accepting lease applications. The finishing touches are being done on the $19,000,000 construction project that's slated to open in January 2016.
Developers were able to renovate the former document storage warehouse located at 1320 Clifford Brown Walk, transforming it into 80-unit Lofts. There you'll find one and two bedroom loft apartments complete with high-end finishes such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood style flooring. Project leaders have also said that there are units with high ceilings, exposed brick and duct work.
"Our objective from the very beginning was to create the finest affordable housing project in the Mid-Atlantic region for the residents of Wilmington, a project that was indistinguishable from high-end, market rate apartment projects," said Patrick Duffy of the Chatham Bay Group in Delaware.
Altogether, three companies joined forces to bring this venture to fruition. The largest investor was Apple Inc., A California based multinational technology company.
"The people at Apple are very smart and are highly selective about which projects they do and don't pursue – the fact they chose to invest in the Lofts at Clifford Brown Walk speaks volumes," Duffy said.

Home Articles & Publications Articles Biographies of the Pious (Akaabir) Ml. Muhammad Yusuf Khandhlawi
Ml. Muhammad Yusuf Khandhlawi
Sheikh Muhammad Yusuf Al-Kandhlawi was born on 25 Jumada I, 1335 H, corresponding to 20 March 1917 at Kandahla in India. His family was well-known for its Islamic scholarship and total devotion. His father, Sheikh Muhammad Ilyas Al-Kandhlawi (d. 1943), played an important role in the reform movement led by two scholars, Ahmad ibn Irfan and Muhammad Ismaeel, both of whom were to be martyrs. The reform movement aimed to remove all deviation from people's beliefs and return them to the pure Islamic faith. Several scholars in his family studied under Sheikh Abd Al-Azeez ibn Ahmad ibn Abd Al-Raheem Al-Dahlawi, a highly reputable scholar of Hadith. Indeed the family produced a long line of famous scholars who were devoted to the study of Hadith and Fiqh, as well as other Islamic studies.
Paternal lineage
Maulana Muhammad Yusuf son of Maulana Muhammad Ilyas son of Maulana Muhammad Ismail son of Shaikh Ghulam Hussein son of Hakim Karim Baksh son of Hakeem Ghulam Mohi-uddin son of Maulana Muhammad Sajid son of Maulana Muhammad Faiz son of Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Sharif son of Maulana Hakim Muhammad Ashraf son of Shaikh Jamal Muhammad Shah son of Shaikh Noor Muhammad son of Shaikh Baha-uddin Shah son of Maulana Shaikh Muhammad son of Shaikh Muhammad Fazil son of Shaikh Qutb Shah.
Maternal lineage
His mother daughter of Maulvi Rauful Hasan son of Maulana Zia-ul-Hasan son of Maulana Noorul Hasan son of Maulana Abul Hasan son of Mufti Ilahi Baksh son of Maulana Shaikhul Islam son of Hakim Qutbuddin son of Hakim Abdul Qadir son of Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Sharif son of Maulana Hakim Muhammad Ashraf son of Shaikh Jamal Muhammad Shah son of Shaikh Noor Muhammad son of Shaikh Baha -uddin Shah son of Maulana Shaikh Muhammad son of Shaikh Muhammad Fazil son of Shaikh Qutb Shah
The paternal and maternal families of Maulana Yusuf Saheb come together in Hakeem Muhammad Sharif. Then the family traces their lineage back to Ameerul Mumineen Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radhi Allahu Anhu). These two families were residing in the villages of Kandhala and Jinhjana. They were famous for their religiousness, knowledge and piety.
Childhood & Early Education
Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Saheb was born in such an environment in which the attainment of piety was the purpose of one and all. The whole family was ingrained with spirituality and nearness to Allah. It was a family of Scholars, Huffaz, and Soofia. Memorizing the Quran had been the common practice of all men and women of this noble family. The women of the house used to keep themselves busy in the recitation of the Quran, optional prayer, studying of religious books and rememberance of Allah. Inside the family, there were numerous renowned scholars.
Scholars such as Maulana Muhammad Saheb, Maulana Muhammad Yahya, Maulana Muhammad Ilyas, Maulana Muhammad Ihtishamul Hasan, Maulana Muhammad Zakariyyah were all members of this outstanding family in which Maulana Yusuf Saheb was nurtured in.
As a young boy, Muhammad Yusuf Al-Kandhlawi showed very early promise. Indeed, he completed the memorization of the Qur'an when he was only 10 years of age. He then completed his primary education and studied Hadith, starting with the six main authentic collections, under his father. He then undertook a more specialized study of Hadith under the distinguished scholars of Mazahir Al-Uloom, a specialized school which placed particular emphasis on the study of Hadith, and trained its students in the art of Islamic advocacy. During his attendance at this school he particularly benefited from studying under his cousin, Sheikh Muhammad Zakariya Al-Kandhlawi, one of the top scholars of Hadith in the Muslim world in the twentieth century. He graduated from this school at the age of 20, in 1355 H.
"The lap of the mother is the child's first madrassa (school)." This saying is very true, training of the children at home forms the foundation of their beliefs, character and personality. The training and education Maulana Yusuf Saheb had at home was similar to that of the training the Muslim women in the time of Hazrat Muhammad sallallahu `alayhi wasallam used to give to their children. Each women of that household was ready to give her son for the work of Rasulullah sallallahu `alayhi wasallam. The stories of the companions of Rasulullah sallallahu `alayhi wasallam had replaced the fairy tales in those homes. The lesson of the heroic freedom movement of Maulana Syed Ahmed Shaheed and Shah Ismail Shaheed had become so common in those homes, that when Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi wrote the detailed biography of Hazrat Syed Ahmed Shaheed, Maulana Ilyas Saheb did not find anything new in that biography.
Maulana Yusuf Saheb memorized the Quran at the age of ten from Hafiz Imam Khan Mewati. It was a blessing and a bounty of Allah on Maulana Yusuf Saheb that right from the very beginning the elders of that time had great concern and interest in him. Maulana Syed Ahmed Saheb Faizabadi, the elder brother of Hazrat Maulana Syed Hussein Ahmed Madni, sent an honorary degree to Maulana Yusuf Saheb commemorating his memorization of the Quran.
Hazrat Maulana Khaleel Ahmed Saheb Saharanpuri, who is the Khalifah of Hazrat Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi and the Sheikh of Hazrat Maulana Ilyas Saheb and Maulana Zakariyya Saheb had great affection for the young Maulana Yusuf Saheb. Although, Maulana Yusuf Saheb was about ten years at the time of Hazrat Saharanpuri's death, they had still shared tremendous love. Maulana Yusuf Saheb would call Hazrat Saharanpuri as "abba" (father in Urdu). Once, Maulana Yusuf Saheb rejected eating the bread cooked by the servant of Hazrat Saharanpuri and insisted on eating bread baked by Hazrat Saharanpuri himself. Hazrat Saharanpuri then went in the kitchen and cooked the bread with his own hands and fed Maulana Yusuf with his own hands as well.
Dedication to Tableegh & Arabs
It was his father, Sheikh Muhammad Ilyas Al-Kandhlawi, who established an organization dedicated to Islamic advocacy. Its members devote a good portion of their time to travel and educating Muslim people in their faith, trying also to explain Islam to others. This organization is well known as Tableegh, or Jama'at Al -Tableegh, with members in many countries of the world. An important aspect of this organization is that it does not concern itself with politics in any way. It is dedicated to Islamic propagation and advocacy.
Sheikh Muhammad Yusuf Al-Kandhlawi began his scholarly career in teaching and writing. However, after consulting several scholars and figures of the Tableegh, his father entrusted to him the leadership of Tableegh as he sensed his approaching death. Al-Kandhlawi dedicated himself to this task which practically filled every day of his life. He traveled all over the Indian Subcontinent giving lectures and speeches and holding circles advocating a return to the pure faith of Islam, which should be implemented in people's life.
Al-Kandhlawi believed that the Arabs must always take the leading role in Islamic advocacy, because they were the people chosen by Allah for this task as He revealed His final message in their language. Hence he was keen to spread his efforts and the Tableegh work to Arab countries.
He also realized that the best centers to spread this work were Makkah and Madinah, regularly visited by pilgrims from all over the Muslim world.
Therefore, he gave particular attention to educating Indian and Pakistani pilgrims, speaking to them at the ports of Bombay and Karachi, before embarking on their journey.
He would teach them the proper way of performing their pilgrimage rituals, and educate them in the need for Islamic advocacy. Thus, he was able to form groups of advocates from the pilgrims. These groups undertook the task of speaking to other pilgrims in the Grand Mosques in Makkah and Madinah. This generated interest among pilgrims of other countries who approached al-Kandhlawi to send groups to their areas. He responded to their requests and the Tableegh work began to take roots in several Arab countries.
Al-Kandhlawi traveled a great deal to promote the Tableegh work of Islamic advocacy. He made numerous trips to Pakistan where he held heavily attended functions, which contributed to the Tableegh organization taking strong roots in that country. His first pilgrimage was in the company of his father, before he took over the Tableegh. In his second pilgrimage, undertaken in 1374 H, 1954, in the company of Sheikh Hussain Ahmad Madani, a famous Hadith scholar, he met many Saudi scholars and discussed with them the issues and problems of Islamic advocacy and propagation. He made his final pilgrimage one year before his death, in 1383, where he held an endless series of meetings with scholars from all over the Muslim world, and was keen to meet as many Saudi scholars as possible.
Despite his total dedication to the Tableegh work, which took much of his time, Al-Kandhlawi was able to write and his writings reflect his broad knowledge, particularly in Hadith and in the history of the Prophet and his companions. Two books feature more prominently among his writings. The first is Amani Al-Ahbar Fi Sharh Ma'ani Al-Athar, which is an annotation of a major work by Imam Ahmad Al-Tahawi, a famous Egyptian scholar who lived much earlier. The book is in four large volumes.
However, his book Hayat Al-Sahabah, which may be translated as The Prophet's Companions' Way of Life, has earned wide acclaim and become essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the Islamic way of life or to explain Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims. In this book, Al-Kandhlawi collects reports mentioned in books of Hadith, history and biographies about the Prophet himself and his companions.
It highlights the aspects related to Islamic propagation and advocacy. It thus reflects life at the time of the Prophet's companions, and shows their manners, feelings and thoughts in different situations. The book was published in Arabic in three volumes many times by different publishers. It has more recently been published, with annotation, in four large volumes, with two introductions by two highly reputable scholars, Syed Abu Al-Hasan Ali Nadwi, and Sheikh Abd Al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah.
Passing Away
In 1965, Al-Kandhlawi made a long trip to Pakistan, where he traveled throughout the country, giving a long series of lectures and speeches, and holding a continuous series of meetings, with people from all strata of Pakistani society. Although he was not feeling well at the start of his trip, he continued with his heavy schedule, paying little attention to his deteriorating condition. On the final day of his trip, he was scheduled to give a major speech in Lahore, and although he was too ill to give such a speech, he felt that he could not let people down.
But the speech took its toll of his health. On finishing it, he was immediately taken to hospital, but he died on his way there, at the age of 48. His body was airlifted at night to Delhi, where his funeral was attended by tens of thousands of mourners. May Allah shower His mercy on him.
