US to deliver $64 million in 'aid' to citizens of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan
The United States has pledged almost $64 million in additional "humanitarian assistance" for Afghanistan.

The United States has pledged almost $64 million in additional "humanitarian assistance" for Afghanistan, officials announced Monday.
According to a government release, funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State will flow through independent organizations, such as United Nations agencies and NGOs, and "provide life-saving support directly to Afghans facing the compounding effects of insecurity, conflict, recurring natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic."
"For assistance to be effective, we will need an environment conducive to the principled delivery of aid, including the ability for both female and male aid workers to operate freely," the press releases reads.
"Even before recent insecurity pushed people from their homes and increased needs, USAID supported a large humanitarian response for more than 18 million people in Afghanistan. This additional humanitarian assistance will provide vulnerable Afghans with critically needed food, health care, nutrition, medical supplies, protection, hygiene supplies, and other urgently needed relief."
USAID has also activated a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), based outside of Afghanistan, to lead the Biden administration's humanitarian response. The team is working with partners to provide aid and adapt programs in response to the new environment, the press release states.
The US is the single largest humanitarian donor in Afghanistan, providing nearly $330 million in this year alone. "We will continue to help alleviate the suffering of the Afghan people and call on other donors to step up their contributions to help deliver critical assistance directly to the people of Afghanistan," the release says.
"The United States remains firmly committed to continue our robust humanitarian assistance for the people of Afghanistan. We are proud to announce an additional $64 million in humanitarian assistance," tweeted US special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad.

The announcement comes a day after the United Nations issued an emergency call for $600 million to prevent famine and a public health crisis. The US was spending an estimated $300 million a day for on the 20-year war in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, before its military withdrawal in recent weeks.
Donors have pledged more than $1.1 billion globally to help Afghanistan, where poverty and hunger have spiraled since the Taliban took power, with the United Nations hoping to contribute $606 million to meet the country's most pressing needs. After decades of war and suffering, Afghans are facing "perhaps their most perilous hour," said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. "The people of Afghanistan are facing the collapse of an entire country — all at once."
Around $200 million of the new money is earmarked for the UN World Food Programme (WFP), which found that 93 percent of the 1,600 Afghans surveyed in August and September were not getting enough to eat.
WFP executive director David Beasley said 40 percent of Afghanistan's wheat crop had been lost, the price of cooking oil had doubled, and most people had no way of getting money, reported Reuters. "Fourteen million people, one out of three, are marching to the brink of starvation. They don't know where their next meal is," he said. "If we are not very careful, we could truly, truly enter into the abyss in catastrophic conditions, worse than what we see now."
With billions of foreign aid dollars abruptly ending with the Taliban's rise to power, several international leaders renewed calls for donations citing a "moral obligation" to keep helping Afghans despite the 20-year mandate ending on Aug 31. Even before the Taliban seized Kabul in August, 18 million people depended on aid. That is likely to increase due to severe drought and shortages.
With domestic banks starting to reopen, the queues for withdrawals are incredibly long, but residents not dependent on the government for a salary have been paid since July. Beijing promised $31 million worth of food and health supplies and, on Friday, said it would send the first batch of 3 million coronavirus vaccines.
Pakistan sent food and medicine and called for Afghan assets were frozen abroad to be released. Iran said it had dispatched an air cargo of aid. "Past mistakes must not be repeated. The Afghan people must not be abandoned," said Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, whose country has close relations with the Taliban and would most likely bear the brunt of an exodus of refugees.
In the Eastern hemisphere, China and Russia said the main burden of helping Afghanistan out of crisis should lie with Western countries. "The US and its allies have a greater obligation to extend economic, humanitarian and livelihood assistance," said China's UN Ambassador Chen Xu.

Q: Spring XML config to JavaConfig: inheritance and bean dependency I have a list of services that extend an AbstractService class. The AbstractService holds the DAO (you can call it "repository") and has the getter/setter for the DAO:
/**
 * @param <T> Entity type
 * @param <K> Entity ID type
 * @param <S> DAO type
 */
public abstract class AbstractService<T, K extends Serializable, S extends BaseDAO<T, K>> implements BaseService<T, K> {
    private S dao;

    public S getDAO() { return dao; }

    public void setDAO(S dao) { this.dao = dao; }

    // Then common methods to all my services, using the DAO, for instance

    @Override
    public Optional<T> findOne(K key) throws DataException {
        return Optional.ofNullable(dao.findOne(key));
    }
}

A service example:
@Service
public class EmployeeServiceImpl extends AbstractService<Employee, Integer, EmployeeDAO> implements EmployeeService {
    // Some specific methods to that service
}

The related DAO (I use Spring Data JPA):
public interface EmployeeDAO extends BaseDAO<Employee, Integer> {
}

Extending
@NoRepositoryBean
public interface BaseDAO<T, K extends Serializable> extends JpaRepository<T, K> {
}

By the way I added the annotations @Service and @NoRepositoryBean while moving to JavaConfig.
My old XML config was:
<bean id="com.xxx.service._AbstractService" abstract="true" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
    <property name="transactionManager" ref="com.xxx.dao._TxManager" />
    <property name="transactionAttributes">
        <props>
            <prop key="save*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.xxx.DataException</prop>
            <prop key="update*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.xxx.DataException</prop>
            <prop key="delete*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.xxx.DataException</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="com.xxx.service.EmployeeService" parent="com.xxx.service._AbstractBO">
    <property name="target">
        <bean class="com.xxx.service.EmployeeServiceImpl">
            <property name="DAO" ref="com.xxx.dao.EmployeeDAO"/>
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>

First question, what is the proper way to inject the generic DAO and handle the service inheritance using JavaConfig?
Second question, how to translate the XML snippet about transactions (com.xxx.service._AbstractBO) to JavaConfig?
Here is what I have so far, 2 classes:
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.xxx.service")
public class SpringConfig {
}

And the persistence config
@Configuration
@EnableJpaRepositories("com.xxx.repository")
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class PersistenceConfig {
    /* Here so far I defined the DataSource, the EntityManagerFactory,
       the PlatformTransactionManager and the JpaVendorAdapter */
}

Thanks in advance for your time!

A: Here is what I ended up doing: instead of trying to translate my old XML config, I changed the classes design. Since DAOs are required anyway, I inject them in each concrete class constructor which calls a new abstract class constructor I added.
The abstract service:
final private S dao;

public AbstractService(S dao) {
    super();
    this.dao = dao;
}

// getter protected and setter removed
protected S getDAO() {
    return dao;
}

And a concrete service example:
@Service
public class EmployeeServiceImpl extends AbstractService<Employee, Integer, EmployeeDAO> implements EmployeeService {

    @Inject
    public EmployeeServiceImpl(EmployeeDAO dao) {
        super(dao);
    }
}

The good thing is I didn't have to change the Java config I posted in my question, meaning @EnableJpaRepositories("com.xxx.repository") and @ComponentScan("com.xxx.service") are sufficient to generate and bind beans.

Q: Using dictionary for only one entry I need to return 2 values (a string and a point) from a method and I dont really want to use ref/out as the values should stay together.
I was thinking of using a Dictionary<string, Point>.
My question is: Is dictionary a good choice of data structure if it only has one KeyValuePair? Or are there any other suitable options?

A: If you dont want to create a named class , you can use Tuple to return more than one parameter
Tuple<int,  Point> tuple =
        new Tuple<int,  Point>(1, new Point());

return tuple

A: You can create your own class. But Tuple<T1, T2> may be convenient. It's just for that sort of thing, when you need to pass around an object containing a few different types.
I'd lean toward creating a class unless it's extremely clear what the tuple is for just by the definition. That way you can give it a name that improves readability. And it can also save a maintenance nuisance if you later determine that there are more than two values. You can just maintain one class instead of replacing Tuple<int, Point> with Tuple<int, Point, Something> in multiple places.
I wouldn't use KeyValuePair because someone looking at it would reasonably assume that there's a dictionary somewhere in the picture, so it would create some confusion. If there are just two values and no dictionary then there is no key.

A: I'd use a Class or a Structure to store both values. I prefer it to maintain the code and allow you to extend the system in the future.
public class MyData {
    public string MyString {get;set;}
    public Point MyPoint {get;set;}
}

public class Storage {
    public MyData retrieveMyData() {
        MyData data = new MyData();
        return data;
    }
}

A: Whenever you see this you should pause and think "Should this be an object?"
If it's a one off you can use Tuple but most times you'll come up with a situation where the same parameters are used in conjunction again. By that point you'll wish that you had created an object the first time.
By creating a object for the set of parameters you can give it a name which will increase readability. If you encapsulate the parameters into properties of an object you can also create getter and setter methods, which will allow you to further control access to them and add more functionality if the need comes up in the future.
The main thing is readability. I might call it a NamedPoint which tells anyone reading my code why I've paired the string and the point together. I could later add validation to the name if I wanted it to be a certain length or not start with a number or any number of other things.

Vehicles were really designed by males and are still considered the greatest aphrodisiac for guys.
Other signs of bad alignment also include damaged wheel rims on one side of the car only. Also remember that rebuilt title commonly causes the value of the car to drop by 30%. You need to make sure that all VIN#'s stickers from the doors hood trunk dashboard match.

Because you're doing such a good job there is a lot of intercompany referral going on and your name keeps popping up at the top of the list as being a trustworthy fleet washing business that does excellent work.

Wichita businessman Troy Palmer has long admired Jack DeBoer, founder of several extended-stay hotel chains and developer of WaterWalk in downtown Wichita.
Palmer, president and owner at Simon Palmer Properties and R.E. Black Building Management, says he's heard DeBoer speak, and he appreciates the way DeBoer has managed to persevere through a variety of business challenges.
"I've heard his story, the ups and downs of his business career, and as a business person I've had the same ups and downs," Palmer says.
That and respect for DeBoer's commitment to Christian humanitarian aid organization World Vision are among reasons Palmer had wanted to meet his role model.
When Palmer won a Wichita Business Journal 40 Under 40 award, then, he said on a WBJ questionnaire that the person he'd most like to have lunch with would be either DeBoer or Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
While he still hasn't dined with Jones, Palmer got to have lunch Tuesday with DeBoer at the Wichita Country Club.
Palmer says he's always somewhat nervous meeting someone he admires. For instance, he has helped bring professional athletes to town to meet youths in the Kansas Special Olympics, and he says he's never sure if they'll be as friendly as he hopes.
But in DeBoer's case, there was no need for concern, he said.
Tuesday's meal was arranged by Greteman Group, which is helping to market the book.
DeBoer said he was surprised to learn of Palmer's interest, but happy to participate in the lunch.
Greteman brand associate Robert Tolley says he noticed that Palmer had wanted to lunch with DeBoer when he was looking in the WBJ's 40 Under 40 publication for another honoree. The Greteman Group's Jennifer Szambecki-Benninga also was a winner.

In many ways my journey has come full circle. Having observed the workings of the pharmaceutical industry and academic medical training closely, from the inside, I became increasingly aware of the limitations of these approaches to wellbeing and personal development, and of the needs for more holistic approaches.
Initially an academic with a background in myth and literature, after a 20 year career in the mental health and wellbeing field as a researcher and evaluator, I turned my long-standing interest in healing and personal development into my main focus. Through becoming a Transpersonal psychotherapist, through teaching Transpersonal Counselors and Art Therapists, and and then becoming an SE (trauma resolution) therapist I realized that there are effective, empowering and rich ways of helping people to emerge from various life crises as healed, integrated, individuals. This interest buils upon earlier training (in my 20s) as a Voice Dialogue Facilitator, and more recent training in attachment-focussed sandplay therapy. I also continue my self-exploration as an ongoing student of the Diamond Approach to Inner Work.
In addition to being a therapist in private practice, I also work with the Path of Love process as a Facilitator, DJ, and am the organizer of the Path Retreats, Australia. I have served on the Australian Association of Holistic and Transpersonal Counselors (AAHTC) Executive.
My other qualifications include a B.A Hons (University of Sydney, University Medal in English Literature), and an M.Phil (University of Cambridge, UK).
The more I learn about SE, the more passionate I am about using it in my practice. Quite simply, it works! and I love supporting clients to find a new balance and joy in being alive.

Stormy Daniels Is Suing Donald Trump for Defamation
Ashley Reese
Filed to:stormy daniels
Adult-film actress and perpetual thorn in the Trump administration's side, Stormy Daniels, is suing Donald Trump for defamation.
Daniels's attorney, Michael Avenatti, announced the suit via Twitter and included a PDF link to the full complaint.
During a 60 Minutes interview in March, Daniels said that a man approached her in a grocery store parking lot in 2011 and threatened her to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump. Daniels claims that the mystery man looked down at her infant daughter and said, "That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom."
After a forensic sketch of the man Daniels claims threatened her circulated online, Trump cried foul on Twitter, calling the man "nonexistent" and the entire ordeal a "con job." The suit against Trump claims that Trump knew that his tweets would damage Daniels's, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, reputation and open her up to harassment and violence.
From the lawsuit:
Mr. Trump's statement falsely attacks the veracity of Ms. Clifford's account of the threatening incident that took place in 2011. It also operates to accuse Ms. Clifford of committing a crime under New York law, as well as the law of numerous other states, in that it effectively states that Ms. Clifford falsely accused an individual of committing a crime against her when no such crime occurred. Mr. Trump's statement is false and defamatory. In making the statement, Mr. Trump used his national and international audience of millions of people to make a false factual statement to denigrate and attack Ms. Clifford. Mr. Trump knew that his false, disparaging statement would be read by people around the world, as well as widely reported, and that Ms. Clifford would be subjected to threats of violence, economic harm, and reputational damage as a result.
Trump hasn't tweeted about it. Yet.

Michigan's Saugatuck Brewing produce this offering year-round, but it is time to get summer on the brain, yo! But aren't radlers/shandies supposed to be less than the normal 5% ABV?
This 12oz can pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves some random streaky cloud form lace around the glass as it very slowly abates.
It smells of blueberry tarts, fresh real lemonade, bready and doughy cereal malt, candied lemon, and very subtle earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, blueberry ice cream, lemon squares, aged lemon juice, simple syrup, and more ethereal leafy, herbal, and floral hoppiness. The carbonation is fairly sedate in its palate-disappointing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the sugary malt and lingering frooty notes carrying on in the longer daylight hours.
Overall – this is indeed a flavourful version of the style, with both fruity essences blended into an enjoyable tipple. It may come off as too sweet to some, but not this happy camper, as I'm just glad to have had a chance to take a crack at it. Good, good stuff!

Poverty and Human Rights
14 The Review of Religions – June 2006 Throughout recorded history, philosophers and thinkers have sought to solve the problem of how to establish a balance between the rights and obligations of man. In the earlier period, loyalty to a community was rewarded by distributing portions from its possessions. Later, the feudal or tribal lords guaranteed security and safety of their followers in return for personal or tribal obedience. The Greeks realised that a contented man was necessary for a happy society. The advent of the Renaissance paved the way for the Age of Man in which human needs and urges for individuality and freedom have been accorded recognition. Since then, as the limits of human knowledge have widened, more and more attention has been paid to the requirements of identifying and safeguarding such rights as are considered essential for the progress of mankind. The famous English-American writer of the eighteenth century, Thomas Paine, spelt out the ideas of constitutional enlightenment which provide the framework of human rights as a part of Western political culture and social morality. As a result, many states have incorporated provisions dealing with the social, economic and political rights for their citizens in their constitutions or legal systems. The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the U.N. in 1948, represents a broad consensus of contemporary civilisation on the subject of human rights. However, this does not mean that everyone in this world is POVERTY and HUMAN RIGHTS The following paper was presented at the Assembly of the World's Religions held in New Jersey U.S.A. in November 1985 By Maulana Ataul Mujeeb Rashed – Imam of the London Mosque 15The Review of Religions – June 2006 guaranteed full freedom or that all the governments are committed to safeguarding human rights without any exception. Far from it. Man continues to be a victim of discrimination, intolerance, and cruelty at the hands of fellow men. Despite the existence of the U.N. Human Rights Commission and similar bodies at regional and national levels, there is no foolproof system under which an individual or a community can seek immediate or effective redress of grievances pertaining to human rights. There are two main reasons for this unsatisfactory situation. First, the legislative or legal guarantees designed by the Western Society cover but a segment of the total field of human rights. Further, the legal sanctions can be applied only after the violations have taken place and can be substantiated by relevant evidence. The U.N. Human Rights Commission and the many governments which are represented on it, fail to recognise the seriousness of the violations unless there is mass bloodshed or destruction of life and property. Lastly, the question of safeguarding human rights is frequently considered on political or ideological basis. For example, the Western thinking is concentrated on political rights of man while the focus of attention in the Marxist society is on the economic rights of man. Again, Western countries are more interested in the human rights violations in the Communist countries but ignore similar violations in the countries allied to the West. The Americans and the Europeans shed so many tears at the fate of Jews in the Eastern bloc but remain silent at the plight of Arabs in Israeli-occupied territories. Both East and West subscribe to the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights concerning freedom of travel but all over the world barriers are raised to restrict travel and movement on grounds of colour and race. The Soviet Union is in the forefront demanding economic and social rights of farmers and workers in Central America and condemning apartheid in South Africa but it has effectively curbed religious and POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS 16 The Review of Religions – June 2006 cultural freedom of Muslims in Central Asia and is denying the people of Afghanistan the right to follow their own way of life. Thus, serious contradictions exist between the precepts and practices of the contemporary world in respect of safeguarding human rights. It is my submission that this diabolical situation can be corrected if the world would understand and adopt the provisions regarding. Human Rights embodied in the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah (Precepts) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw), which are the most authentic and authoritative sources of the Islamic Code of human behaviour. Poverty and Human Rights But, before I proceed further to explain the human rights and its principles as laid down in Islam, let me explain briefly the phenomenon of poverty and its impact on human rights. Allah, the Almighty, our Creator and Maker, has created us all in such a way that no two persons are exactly identical. This change and variety bestows a unique beauty and individuality upon each individual. The good aspects aside, the other side of the overall situation very often presents a gloomy picture. These differences in creation, such as colour and race, have led to the division of human society into various groups and blocs. The difference in mental and physical capabilities has further resulted in various divisions based on social and economical standards. This division is found at all levels. Individuals are torn apart by the barriers of poverty and richness. Nations are being classified as developed and developing countries on the same basis. And the phenomenon does not end here. Nations and individuals are being subjected to all sorts of discrimination due to their poverty. Individuals are looked down upon by their fellow beings merely because they were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Poor nations are hated and deprived of their equal position in the community of nations. The victims of poverty are persistently denied their basic human rights individually and collectively. The organisers of this World POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS 17The Review of Religions – June 2006 Assembly have rightly pointed out in their statement that poverty, that condition where human beings lack the basic necessities to sustain life, is a pervasive reality in our world. Islam, being a universal and comprehensive religion, has thoroughly commented on various aspects of this question and has guided us to such methods as may be helpful to safeguard the rights of the poor. Some of these points are mentioned below: 1. Discrimination stems from the feelings of superiority. In order to nip this evil in the bud, Islam has stressed the idea of absolute equality of all human beings in the sight of Allah. Neither membership of a tribe nor citizenship of a state confers any privilege, nor are they sources of honour. The true source of honour in the sight of Allah is a righteous life (Ch.49: V14). In his Farewell Address, the Holy Prophet of Islam(saw) said: 'You are all brothers and are all equal. None of you can claim any privilege or any superiority over any other. An Arab is not to be preferred to a non- Arab, nor is a non-Arab to be preferred to an Arab; nor is a white man to be preferred to a coloured one, or a coloured one to a white, except on the basis of righteousness.' (Hanbal V, p.41). 2. Islam has stressed this point time and again in the Holy Qur'an that the whole universe, with all its potentials, has been created for the benefit of the whole of mankind without any dis-crimination. They are not intended for, or confined to, any particular section of human society. This teaching rules out the ideas of exclusive ownership or monopoly in regard to natural resources. All that God Almighty, the Creator, has created in this universe is to be used and shared by all. 3. After establishing the above- mentioned principles, in order to assure the equal position of the poor in a society, Islam has particularly stressed the status of such members of society who are generally looked down POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS 18 The Review of Religions – June 2006 upon and maltreated by others due to their poverty or other drawbacks. The orphans, the widows, the servants, the labourers and the poor are granted a respectable and honoured position in Islamic society. Muslims are enjoined to do maximum good to such people and any act of kindness and honour done towards these people is extremely praiseworthy and noble in the sight of Allah. Just to mention two examples, I wish to quote three sayings of the Holy Prophet of Islam(saw),: In one place he is reported to have said that he who strives for the welfare of a widow will be joined with him in heaven as the two fingers of a hand are joined together. Similarly, he has enjoined his faithful followers to pay the wages of a labourer before the sweat dries upon his body. With regard to servants, the Prophet(saw) said: 'They are your brothers, and you should treat them as such. Provide them with the kind of clothes that you wear and if you set them a hard task, join them in it to help them complete it' (Abu Dard). 4. Islam has established a very comprehensive economic sys- tem in order to secure the widest and most beneficent distribution of wealth through institutions set up by it and through moral exhortations. Wealth must remain in constant circulation among all sections of the community and should not become the monopoly of the rich (Ch.59: V.8). Islam has ensured the achievement of this sublime object by establishing a system of inheritance and a system of regular charity on the one hand and prohibition of interest, gambling and all such ways of accumulating wealth by unlawful means on the other. This economic system laid down by Islam minimises the gap and difference between the poor and the rich and thus, goes a long way in eradicating the imbalance which is the root- cause of economic discri- mination and denial of human rights. POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS 19The Review of Religions – June 2006 Principles of Human Rights The principles of Human Rights enunciated by Islam differ from the Western concept in two important aspects. First, the Islamic values are comprehensive and universal. Second, they are guaranteed by divine sanction derived from the Word of God. No other judicial or constitutional system can make this claim. Let us briefly examine the fundamentals of Islamic code on human rights. In the opening verses of Surah Al- Rahman, and at several other sections of the Holy Qur'an, we are told that the aim of Islam is to establish a balance and to bring about an accord in the relationship of man and his Maker, his relationship with the Universe and with his fellow men through beneficent judgement. Islam insists upon the acceptance and comprehension of the unity and coordination of the creation and the unity and equality of man. The Holy Qur'an informs us time and again that the universe is created in an orderly design and that there is a specific purpose behind the creation of man. The most striking character of Islam is its universality and the place that it assigns to man as the focal point of the universe. A unique position is thus allotted to man in the Divine scheme of the universe. Equipped with all the inherent qualities and capacities, and with Divine guidance available at all stages, and with the whole of the Universe subjected to his service, Man has been placed in the most favourable position for the complete fulfilment of his life. The second fundamental charac- teristic of the Islamic code is the place of honour accorded to the freedom of man and the rejection of compulsion or coercion. However, it does not sanction unrestricted or unbridled freedom, as it would be against the very law of nature. Freedom has to be balanced with certain limitations. To ensure freedom for everyone, the freedom of each must be, to a degree, curbed, curtailed or controlled. The freedom that man enjoys is the right to discipline his freedom. Like most subjects affecting human personality, the subject of human rights has many facets. As an all- pervading and complete religion, Islam provides a comprehensive framework for human conduct in terms of individual, moral, social, POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS 20 The Review of Religions – June 2006 economic and political rights and obligations. The Holy Qur'an has spelt out the rights of man during all phases of life – starting from pre-birth to childhood and through adult life to old age. The Holy Qur'an also lays down broad principles governing man's relations with all those who will possibly come into contact with him throughout his life. These include the rights of children, the rights of parents, the rights of a wife and a husband, the rights of neighbours, the rights of travellers, the rights of the needy, the rights of orphans, the rights of workers and wage earners. The list of the items is so comprehensive that the subject could provide a challenge for any legal or constitutional expert of modern times. To begin with, Islam stands firmly and uncompromisingly on freedom of conscience. It does not seek to secure even belief in God through compulsion or coercion. Much less does it object to restricting freedom on the ground of one's belief and conviction. Belief is a matter of conscience and conscience cannot be compelled. This truth is proclaimed by the Holy Qur'an in Verse 257 of Surah Al-Baqarah: There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become distinct from wrong; whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle which knows no breaking. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Ch.2: V.257) Again, in Verse 30 of Surah Al- Kahf, the Holy Qur'an mentions: And say,'It is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will, believe, and let him will, disbelieve.' It follows that Islam gives a person the right to profess what he truly believes, and not to profess belief in that which he does not sincerely believe. In the same context, the change of belief, howsoever offensive from the moral or spiritual point of view, does not attract any physical penalty. There is another fundamental right which the Holy Qur'an recognises and accords to man. This is the exercise of reason, understanding and judgement at every step. At the same time, man is allowed the POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS 21The Review of Religions – June 2006 freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. This is essential so that knowledge may be fostered and ignorance repelled. The Holy Prophet(saw) is quoted as saying: 'The seeking of knowledge is a duty laid upon every Muslim, man and woman'. One should not get the impression that Islam speaks about human rights in abstract terms only. The limited time at my disposal has prevented me from discussing the social and economic rights enjoined by the Holy Qur'an. The principles concerning the protection of personal property and possessions, equality before law, equality of opportunity to work, reduction of poverty, balanced distribution of wealth, and sanctity of contracts and agreements are sanctioned by Islam and these also form the true basis of the concept of the Welfare State. Within a few years of the establishment of the first Islamic state, the provision of the basic necessities for everyone was assured. This is the reason why Islam is considered not only a religion but also a system and a civilisation which fulfils man's spiritual as well as material needs. Earlier, I had mentioned that the excellent example of the Holy Prophet of Islam(saw), along with the Holy Qur'an, constitutes the most authentic source of instruction for a code of righteous conduct and for the preservation of the rights of man. The Holy Qur'an describes his functions as the creation and strengthening of faith through drawing attention to Divine Signs, the moral and physical uplift of the people, teaching them the Law and furnishing them with guidance and expounding the philosophy underlying the guidance given by the Holy Qur'an. What do we learn from his life about the preservation of human rights? From innu- merable instances, let me mention only two events to illustrate his regard for the rights of the enemies of Islam and his own proclamation on human rights in the most precise terms. The Holy Prophet(saw) had appointed Hadhrat Ali(ra), the Fourth Caliph of Islam, to conduct peace negotiations at Hudaibiyya with the Makkans who were sworn enemies of Islam and had waged war against the Holy Prophet(saw) and his followers. After protracted negotiations, when the final terms POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS were being drawn, the Makkans strongly objected to the designation of the Holy Prophet(saw) as the 'Messenger of Allah' and insisted that he should be described only as 'Muhammad, Son of Abdullah'. When this was brought to the attention of the Holy Prophet(saw), he said: 'I am the Messenger of Allah and I am the son of Abdullah. If the Makkans so prefer, I may be described as 'Muhammad, Son of Abdullah'. Hadhrat Ali(ra) could not bring himself to bear the responsibility of removing the words 'the Messenger of Allah' from the draft and the Holy Prophet(saw) amended the draft with his own hands. On the occasion of his last pilgrimage, the Holy Prophet(saw) addressed his people in Mina on the 11th of Dhul-Hajj, which is the epitome of the entire teachings of Islam. In this historical proclamation, he said: 'All men, whatever nation or tribe they may belong to, and whatever the status in life they may hold, are equal'. He further declared: 'Your lives and your possessions have been made immune by God to attacks by one another until the Day of Judgment'. This is the most eloquent and most perceptive universal declaration on the rights of free and equal man. So the entire mankind owes gratitude to the Holy Messenger of Islam(saw), for drawing attention to the Divine Guidance concerning the status and rights of man as enjoined by the teachings of Islam. 22 POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS The Review of Religions – June 2006

Vintage 1970s Black Satin Dress Nina Ricci - Medium
This is a wonderful designer vintage 1970s in a black liquid satin dress by Nina Ricci. It has small padded shoulders, a large pointed collar and cuffs. It does up the back with a long metal zipper which is hand-sewn. The sleeves do up with a zipper near the cuffline and the cuffs do up with 3 snaps to hold them in place. The label reads Nina Ricci Boutique – Paris and Made in France. There is also the store label which reads Made in France for Holt Renfrew. Holt Renfrew is a high end Department store in Canada.
The dress is in very good condition, the hem has been taken by about ¾ of an inch. There are about five very small picks or snags (not sure what to call these) to the satin. One is below the waistline area, a couple on the back of the dress and a few more on the front. These are not very noticeable. There are also a few very light stains that you have to really look for in good lighting towards the bottom of the front of the dress.
Please rely on the following measurements for fit...it did not fit my mannequin well around the bust due to the position of my mannequin's arms.
Shoulders – 15"
Hips: 38:
Overall Length - 41"
Please note that there is no stretch to the dress so your own measurements should be smaller.

A little history about Nina Ricci
Nina Ricci was born Maria Nielli in Turin, Italy on January 14,1883. At age 12 her family moved to France. She started to work at the age of 13 as a dressmaker's apprentice. Her love of fashion grew throughout her teenage years and she became the head of the salon by the time she was 18 and at 22 she was also the chief designer. She married jeweler Luigi Ricci in 1904. In 1908 she joined the house of Raffin as a designer, she stayed with them for 20 years and she developed a partnership with Raffin. In 1932 she founded her own house.
The House of Ricci was founded with her son Robert Ricci, he oversaw the operations and she kept on designing. She would do her designing directly on the mannequin. She would work with the fabrics so she could ensure they would have the right shape upon completion. She was known for her elegant, refined, and romantic styles.
At the end of war in 1945, designers were looking for a way to get women back into their salons. Robert Ricci came up with a brilliant idea and Lucien Lelong, who was the President of the Chambre de Commerce put it into action. Mannequins from forty famous Paris couturiers, including Balenciaga and Madame Gres, were dressed in the labels' best fashions and were placed in an exhibition held at the Louvre, in Paris. After a huge success in Paris it toured Europe and then the USA.
In the early 1950s Nina Ricci almost 70 now, withdrew from her role as designer, but she still kept an eye on the house. In 1954, her son selected a new head designer the Belgian Jules-Francois Crahay. Maria Ricci died on November 30, 1970 at the age of 88.

Charles Barron Would Also Like Ed Towns' Endorsement
May 2, 2012 by jhanasobserver
Charles Barron (Photo: NY1)
Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries and Councilman Charles Barron suddenly had their campaigns shaken up a few weeks ago when the incumbent they were seeking to unseat, Congressman Ed Towns, suddenly announced his exit from the race. Mr. Jeffries already declared he'd seek Mr. Towns' endorsement, and yesterday, Mr. Barron indicated he's be interested in the same.
"Yes," Mr. Barron said on Inside City Hall last night when asked about the potential endorsement. "We are in conversation. I told Congressman Towns, 'I wish you the best, you should leave your district with the best, and that's Councilman Charles Barron, soon-to-be Congressman Charles Barron."
Mr. Barron, like Mr. Jeffries, had previously been a sharp critic of Mr. Towns. In his announcement event Mr. Barron declared Mr. Towns needed to get the boot as he's been "totally ineffective."
Overall, Mr. Barron seem far more tempered than usual in his approach to the interview. The host of the show, Errol Louis, asked him about this, noting Mr. Barron's focus on policy lacked his typical fiery slogans and controversial declarations.
"It's not a rebranding of Charles Barron, it's seeing all of Charles Barron," he answered, ticking off a list of his less controversial beliefs, including his opposition to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the need to stand up for the 99%. "I want people to see the whole Charles Barron, not just one side. It's no rebranding, reinventing."

Helsingborgs idrottsmuseum är ett museum för sport och idrott i Helsingborg som drivs av Föreningen Idrottsarkivet (FIA).

Museet har har sina lokaler i Idrottens hus, Helsingborg på Mellersta Stenbocksgatan 10, dit de flyttade år 2013 från det gamla IOGT-huset på Carl Krooks gata.

Verksamhet
I museets lokaler finns en ständig utställning om alla aspekter inom Helsingborgs idrottsliv, liksom ett särskilt rum för att hedra Formel 1-föraren Gunnar Nilsson. I museet finns ett omfattande arkiv innehållande bland annat filmer, böcker och fotografier tillsammans med ansenligt bibliotek. I byggnaden finns även lokaler för möten och konferenser. Föreningen arrangerar ett flertal olika evenemang, bland annat filmvisningar, guidningar av museet och föreläsningar. Varje år sedan 2004 delar föreningen ut utmärkelsen "Årets idrottsman/-kvinna i Helsingborg". Museet har även gett ut anekdotboken Å då sa jag till domar'n...! och ett antal minneshäften om idrottsklubbar i Helsingborg. Föreningen Idrottsarkivet, som driver museet, har cirka 1 000 medlemmar och ingår bland annat i samarbetsprojektet Arkivens Hus.

Historik
I mitten av 1970-talet tog föreningen Sportpennorna i Helsingborg, en sammanslutning av stadens sportjournalister, initiativet till bildandet av ett arkiv för Helsingborgs idrottshistoria. Ett möte mellan Sportpennorna och Helsingborgsidrottens Samorganisation, HISO, resulterade i ett första möte den 30 oktober 1975 och den 21 januari 1976 tillsattes en interimsstyrelse. Denna beslutade att organisationen skulle få namnet Föreningen Idrottsarkivet, vilket också blev föreningens namn vid bildandet den 26 april 1976. I föreningens stadgar stipulerades bland annat att man skulle verka för ett inrättande av ett idrottsmuseum i staden och att man skulle ge ut en årsbok i ämnet Helsingborgsidrott, vilken även skulle innehålla historiska återblickar. Den första årsboken kom ut 1980 och täckte av det föregående årets idrott. Årsboken gavs ut fram till 1994, då redaktionen drog sig tillbaka, dock utan att lyckas hitta några efterträdare, vilket gjorde att årsboken lades ner.

Föreningen saknade länge egna lokaler för verksamheten. Som möteslokal användes från början Gamlegård och senare flyttade man till HISO:s lokaler på Södergatan, där man även hade utrymmen för mindre utställningar. Som en lösning på frågan om lokaler för utställningar föreslogs 1977 att Sofiero slott, som nyligen testamenterats till Helsingborgs stad av Gustaf VI Adolf, skulle inrättas som idrottsmuseum. Dock blev detta inte fallet. Den 20 december samma år lyckades föreningen däremot genomföra sin första större utställning i Helsingborgs stadsbibliotek. Idrottsprofessorn Åke Svahn var mycket intresserad av föreningens arbete och donerade den 24 april 1978 större delen av sin samling till föreningen. Svahn blev året efter ledamot och rådgivare i föreningen.

I början av 1979 utredde Helsingborgs stad hur den framtida användningen av Berga kasern, Pålsjö slott och Raus skoldaghem skulle se ut. FIA föreslog till kommittén att Pålsjö slott skulle användas som idrottsmuseum, men det beslutades att slottet skulle användas till andra ändamål. Verksamheten fortsatte trots lokalbristen och föreningen höll en uppmärksammad utställning om Formel 1-föraren Gunnar Nilsson på Sofiero i maj 1979. Flera ytterligare utställningar hölls, främst på Stadsbiblioteket, men man letade fortlöpande efter permanenta utställningslokaler. Inte förrän 1985 lyckades man genom egen försorg finna lokaler på Springpostgränden och genom bidrag från bland andra Gunnar Nilssons mor, Elisabeth Nilsson, kunde lokalerna renoveras och Idrottsmuseet invigas den 20 oktober 1986. Föreningens ekonomi var dock väldigt ansträngd och museet var vid ett tillfälle nära nerläggning.

Trots att man nu till slut hade hittat lokaler åt arkivet sökte man vidare efter nya och bättre. Helsingborgs fastighetskontors exploateringschef, Bengt Lindskog, erbjöd i början av 1993 föreningen en tomt öster om Olympia, men föreningen saknade pengar att uppföra en byggnad för. Ett flertal existerande byggnader fanns som förslag på nya lokaler, men alla dessa förslag rann ut i sanden. Men när kommunen beslutade att rusta upp det så kallade IOGT-huset (tidigare Scalabiografen) på Carl Krooks gata 10 på Söder lyckades föreningen övertala politikerna om att Idrottsmuseet skulle få flytta in i lokalerna. Efter renoveringen och flytten kunde museet invigas på sin nya plats den 12 juni 2004. När Helsingborgs kommun 2012 behövde lokalerna på Carl Krooks gata erbjöds museet plats på Idrottens hus dit man flyttade 2013.

On Monday I had a new paper published in a special issue of The Journal of Parliamentary History and has been edited by the amazing Dr John Cooper and Dr Richard Gaunt . The paper discusses some of the work we've been doing on the acoustics of the historic House of Commons.
Probably due to the somewhat (understatement) chaotic nature of British politics at the moment it was picked up by The Economist to feature on their Science and Technology podcast. So if you want to hear me talk and can sit through a 30 second advert jump to 16.30.
We all know job hunting is miserable. Filling out job applications forms with the same information for different institutions, carefully crafting covering letters, tweaking CVs. Then there's the short lift of pressing send before the agonising wait to hear back. The depressing emails telling you you haven't been shortlisted, or the funding bid hasn't come through. It's all a bit sad. I want to highlight a few things that I think could make the process slightly less emotionally draining for candidates.
I have after a month of unemployment I have landed some more post doctoral work, I had started to apply for roles in May 2018 as the post I was in was coming to an end and really started applying in earnest from July. A very short teaching contract in October saved my bacon, but the first half of December I was losing the drive to keep applying. During this period I was shortlisted for four academic roles, one job I applied for disappeared, I wasn't shortlisted for four or five more, I also interviewed for two commercial role (one of which offered me a job), and I didn't get shortlisted for some other types of job.
These points aren't meant to be about me bemoaning my lack of employment but a few points that I think could make the process slightly better. Obviously nothing is going to remove the sadness and not getting a job but I think we could all be a bit kinder.
Send out rejection emails when you shortlist. Most of the systems are automatic and given that shortlisting happens quickly there is no need to wait over four weeks to let a candidate know they are unsuccessful.
Let short listed candidates know as soon as possible that they have not been successful. The most positive post-interview experience I had (other than getting a job) was being called on the day of the interview to tell me I had not been successful. The worst experience was waiting over two weeks, which included a number of follow-up phone calls, to confirm I had not been successful. If you are interviewed your emotions do run very high until you hear back. The sooner you know the easier it is to deal with the stress. I also believe that its polite to call shortlisted candidates, I know it takes time but usually there aren't very many people on the list and it does make you feel a tiny bit valued. If not a personal email. Given the candidates have often travelled a distance and at their own expense I would consider this a courtesy.
If you are interviewing via Skype check that all parties can be heard and understood. One interview I attended involved a panel spread across three locations with multiple interviewers in one location and the microphones did not pick up one of the voices very well. Interviews are high stress environments this adds to that stress.
Linked point, check the tech works or you know how to use it. For example screen sharing.
If you are asking candidates to give a presentation make sure you are consistent with the brief. A mini lecture to students and staff is not the same as presenting to a room full of predominantly male academics who are all significantly more experienced than you.
Linked point: gender balanced panels are helpful.
Make sure the directions you provide are accurate and up-to-date.
Possibly more relevant to commercial companies but if you are interviewing a candidate for a permanent post its pretty mean to offer them a fixed term contract instead without any discussion of the changing role.
I refuse to believe that any of the jobs I applied for were offered to internal or preferred candidates on anything other than the candidates own performance at interview or superior experience. Though if your shortlisting someone with significantly less experience you should question why you're doing so.
Actually I draw on Ingold's work quite heavily, and don't want this to be a criticism of that in anyway. The title of this blog is based on a response myself and a friend and colleague reached towards the end of a long conference. Our complaint revolved around the male dominance in the work being cited. And at this conference Ingold could have won you key word bingo.
I mostly work in two fields which are generally considered to be male dominated; Digital Archaeology and Castle Studies. During a Castle thing I pointed out that all the current experts the group called on were male, and was told that that was the nature of the discipline. A rather wonderful thread on twitter points to this being incorrect. While Digital Archaeology I think has a bad recent history, at least CAA have taken a strong approach to combating this stereotype.
Recent work has suggested men tend to get cited a lot more. In fact not only do men tend to cite themselves more we also know that women in general tend to be cited less. We have seen they tend to dominate departmental seminar series, and then there is "manels".
This has been a subject on the rise in recent months with various people asking if any journals have any guidelines that encourage a diverse bibliography. I also understand that presenting appropriately diverse reading lists has also been under discussion in the History department at York. But I'm not sure I have seen a formal way to move forward.
I was recently asked to peer review a paper for the SPMA. While going through it I was surprised to note a couple of (female) authors I was expecting to feature were not present. It struck me that actually I had no idea how diverse the bibliography was as first names were shortened to initials. I realised my working practise had to change and spent a painstaking hour googleing citations trying to predict gender (though this methodology isn't concrete a better working practise is discussed here), until I was satisfied that there were enough women featured within this list. I also pointed out in my comments that the papers I was expecting to see weren't cited.
This might not change the world.
I know that me taking the extra time to explore this within a single paper context might not seem like it would change the world. However, we should be critically reflecting on who we are citing, and further who other people are citing as part of our review process. If the trends mentioned above continue in an academic world focused on h-index's and Impact, then the current bias observed in senior university roles will continue.
It's the morning after International Women's Day and I want to take a few moments to reflect. In 2016 and 2017 I spent time preparing blogs celebrating my colleagues and women who led the way in my field. I could be writing about the "Women of the Ventilator" who choose to carve out a space in the House of Commons. I could be writing about my incredible colleagues in archaeology, the Audiolab, History, or commercial archaeology. I could celebrate the achievements of my friends who have done amazing things this year; securing jobs at 30 weeks pregnant, escaping controlling relationships, forcing change in government policy to name a few. I should be celebrating the these things, reflecting on the drive towards social change this year seeing #metoo #timesup the calling out of manels, the gender pay gap.
I come from a privileged background, there is no escaping the fact I'm a white middle class woman with the "right" accent. Not only this I was also raised with a strong belief that I could pursue any career I choose and my gender would not hold me back. This came from both my home life; a mother who worked as a computer programmer, a grandmother who taught maths, GP's, PhD's to name a few. But also my school, yes the local comprehensive, which while not offering particularly helpful career advice did not put forward any suggestions that I should or should not follow any particular road.
But this year I'm struggling. For the first time, at age 29, I'm really struggling. For the first time someone has directly suggested that the combination of my age and gender would mean they wouldn't employ me. For the first time I feel my own agency has been taken away and my body is being policed. Because at 29, recently married, I'm high risk because I *might* want to start a family.
2018 is about believing that what i'm doing is the right thing and that change will happen. I need to renew my energy for the fight, because i'm struggling to see progress at the moment and we need to see those changes. I need to believe that what i'm doing now will lead to a career and I will not be sidelined because of my body or gender.
My PhD was conceived to bring together a range of different approaches and methodologies towards the study of late medieval buildings. It started as one of two PhDs myself based in archaeological computing and a second student with a background in medieval history. This intended to bring together digital visualisation techniques with a solid base in evidence sourced through archival research.
I have stated elsewhere how visualisation techniques have been highly critiqued and the methodology developed to work in an archaeological context. There are courses that can be sat on to teach the tools available and how they can be applied in archaeology. However, for Auralization this is not the case, there have been limited applications in archaeology and the technique still requires a deep understanding of acoustical engineering. Working with ISVR has been challenging, it took us a long time to find someone to work with who could teach me how to do acoustical survey and how it can be applied. Engineers work in different ways and focus on different things. In reverse they do not have the theoretical background in archaeology to engage with the results of the work.
Where I am going with this is that using techniques from other disciplines (even just history) can be incredibly challenging. It is not just finding the contacts and someone interested in working with you. It is knowing what techniques can be used and their limitations to apply them correctly. It is making sure you are asking the right questions when learning techniques to ensure you are getting the correct answers from your collaborators not just the easy answer.
However, I have found other aspects of multidisciplinary method more frustrating, particularly when presenting my work. These issues can be as simple as struggling with referencing; archival sources such as illuminated manuscripts are very difficult to reference using the Harvard system. I spoke to Prof. Chris Woolgar from history who said, that in essence, you have to "bodge" it. Not something that works well with bibliographic software. The same is true in engineering working to disciplinary standards, trying to find the best way of getting the information across feels impossible at times.
Presenting the results of sound work is also frustrating, rarely are conference venues setup with good quality audio, if any at all. I find it hard to reconcile myself to discussing the experience of sound without any audio accompaniment in the same way discussing visualisation without images seems ridiculous. This continues when writing my thesis, providing a mechanism for the sounds I am talking about to be heard.
I don't mean for this blog post to be a rant, I was hoping instead to highlight some of the difficulties in working between disciplines for all multi-disciplinary research in general. As we are being encouraged to use methodologies from other disciplines, I hope the more this is embraced the easier it will get for some of these basic problems.

Inspiral of binary black holes occurs over a time-scale of many orbits, far longer than the dynamical time-scale of the individual black holes. Explicit evolutions of a binary system therefore require excessively many time-steps to capture interesting dynamics. We present a strategy to overcome the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition in such evolutions, one relying on modern implicit-explicit ODE solvers and multidomain spectral methods for elliptic equations. Our analysis considers the model problem of a forced scalar field propagating on a generic curved background. Nevertheless, we encounter and address a number of issues pertinent to the binary black hole problem in full general relativity Specializing to the Schwarzschild geometry in Kerr-Schild coordinates, we document the results of several numerical experiments testing our strategy.

Q: questions or question? I am confused about this:

The question "Where does mankind come from, and where  will we go?"  has been the subject of much interest and has perplexed man for many years.

Which one should I use, question or questions?

A: The singular would not be wrong. Technically, "Mankind has come from, and will go to where?" is a single question equivalent to your quote that invites a multidimensional space-time as the answer. This sounds a little perplexing, but if you ask "what food do you like", you don't expect the foods to be taken all at the same time. It's strongly implicated that "food" should ask for a countable quantity, but it is not necessary. In either case you could answer "soup", and defere specifics to second-guesses.
In case of the plural, "questions", I'd recommend to put at least two questionmarks, either in-place, or by separating the two clauses.
The deciding factor is, that the two clauses aren't independent, but interdependent (i.e. "and where will they go [from there]").

A: Either singular or plural would be acceptable.
The author who used the singular is indicating that he thinks of this as a combined field of inquiry, they're not really two separate questions in this context. There just isn't a common phrase to refer to both directions with a single term.
A context where they would be separate might be:

The questions "Where do we come from, and where are we going?" are pondered by historians and futurists, respectively.

This paper presents a new algorithm for the fast hough transform. Compared with others, this algorithm not only has a faster speed but also has advantages such as avoiding erroneous solutions, eliminating redundant points, detecting straight lines of different sizes, and selecting threshold automatically etc. We will discuss the performance of this algorithm and will also show its efficiency with examples.

Jesus would have us live more active and more complete lives of virtue… as defined by love of God and love of neighbor. He is raising the bar… calling us to elevate our game. He is telling us that the state of our souls is just as important as the actions of our bodies. To be consumed by revenge and seething with anger is as wrong as acting out that anger. To indulgently wallow in lust is to commit the sin without even moving a muscle. To openly commit sin is an obvious affront to God. But it is no more sinful than the hidden heart that embraces vice and crowds out the love of God.

Committed to a vocation that focuses on encountering God in the midst of everyday life, I serve as an Episcopal priest who seeks to proclaim the good news of God in Christ in worship, pastoral care, education, stewardship, congregational development and community outreach, while continually engaging our wider culture with dynamism and hope.
Right behavior was at the heart of the ethical tradition that Jesus received from his inherited religion. Religious teachers in Judaism strove to define faithful behavior in all activities of life. They based their descriptions on high ideals of justice, community responsibility, purity and faithfulness toward God. The objective standards were challenging but achievable. Anyone who behaved according to the law could be regarded as righteous before God and humanity.
But Jesus raised the bar. It is not only our observable behavior that is is accountable before God, but also our inward motivation. God knows our hearts. Jesus encouraged his followers to concentrate not primarily on outward behavior, but rather on our inner motivations, the "thoughts of our hearts," the heart being regarded as the center of being, both feeling and thought. Jesus wants us to be people with awakened hearts, loving hearts.
The contrast between the two approaches is especially stark in today's reading from Jesus' words in Matthew's collection that we call the Sermon on the Mount. He starts, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'" That is the law, the Seventh of the Ten Commandments. It is an objective ethical standard based on right behavior. Even at that, there could be some room for interpretation — what actually is adultery? (Is it adultery if we don't "go all the way"?) For the most part, we know what "Thou shalt not commit adultery" means. So, a conscientious person could know — if you have not had sexual relations with one who was not your spouse, you are righteous with regard to that commandment; you have followed the law; you can stand before God.
Jesus goes further. "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Gulp. When we look at the motivations of our heart, no one can stand confidently before God possessing a righteousness of our own.
Jesus' commandment is a great leveler. The distinction between sinner and righteous dissolves. All have harbored some form of unfaithfulness in our hearts. No one is righteous. Not one. And yet, Jesus teaches that God loves and forgives all. God embraces us in our sin. God accepts and loves us unconditionally.
Now, in the face of that unconditional acceptance, Jesus invites us to look at our hearts, and be disarmed. Whenever we look at another person with lust, we realize that our thoughts are God's possession. We drag God into our own adultery. Nevertheless, God does not reject or abandon us. God loves us even as we foul God. Humbling, isn't it? God's love is our motivation, both for surrender and for transformation.
Awaken, O my heart. Let God's penetrating and disarming love transform what seems beyond my control.

My work lies at the intersection of theory and practice, which allows me to conceptualise and theorise while continuously grounding my perspective to the challenges and opportunities of implementing projects and transformative initiatives in the field.
I believe there is potential to grow the social enterprise sector to become a leading force in development through markets and the private sector.
This requires a theoretical perspective on development and a practical and innovative approach to doing business.
Social enterprises lie at the nexus of charities and responsible businesses as a joint force and movement for social and economic development.
I am the co-founder of the following responsible consulting platform and two social enterprises:
> UrbanEmerge is an inclusion and sustainable development consultancy. We operate as a close-knit network of trusted consultants and experts who collaborate to win and deliver meaningful consulting work across 4 service areas: Thriving Economies, Sustainable Cities, Responsible Companies and Enabling Technologies. Visit www.urbanemerge.com to learn more.
> Digital Good Governance for Africa CIC (DIGA) is a social enterprise with the purpose of leveraging technology for good governance in Africa. Our first initiative, RestoreNaja is spearheading a movement for digital democracy in Nigeria in time for the 2023 general elections. Learn more about our launch event in Abuja on the 18th of November, funded by the department for International Development (DFID) with the support of UCL - DPU: Visit us on https://www.restorenaija.org and Join the Call to Action to all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria!
> Wakanda Social Enterprise CIC is the not-for-profit arm of Wakanda Group, an impact investment company. Our first not-for-profit project funded by the CSR budget of Liebfeld Electronics is making solar power accessible to lower-income rural households and SMEs in the Delta State of Nigeria. Learn more at www.wakanda-group.com.
My research has focused on highly advanced economies in California and emerging economies in Africa. A cross-cutting theme of my work has been on the ability of institutions to respond appropriately to the challenges and opportunities brought about by our current transition into the new economy.
My research in California has culminated in our co-authored book called "The rise and fall of urban economies: Lessons from San Francisco and Los Angeles", published by Stanford University Press in 2016 (with Michael Storper, Tom Kemeny and Taner Osman). I published my findings about the the role of the social structure and business-civic leadership in the economic success of the Bay Area, published in Sage - Environment & Planning C (2016).
My research in Nigeria has been through consultancy projects for the World Bank and the Department for International Development (DFID). I co-authored a baseline reports on Nigeria such as "Economic Development in Urban Nigeria" (2015), I contributed industrial and spatial analysis and co-authored Chapter 2 of the World Bank Nigeria Urbanisation Review, "From Oil to Cities: Nigeria's next transformation" (2016) and projects on the industrial composition and business-civic leadership across Nigeria.
Since 2017 I have been doing less consulting research and turned my attention on action-research in social entrepreneurship and humane business-platforms. I am the co-founder and managing partner at Wakanda Social Enterprise CIC, Digital Good Governance for Africa CIC (DIGA) and its RestoreNaija campaign, a transformative initiative to bring digital e-voting to the 2023 general elections in Nigeria.
I teach on the following modules:
