Historically, the use of powerful spotlights often was limited to theatrical productions or for mounting atop the tall walls of high-security prisons, where it was vital to see what was happening around the facility at night. The lights still are a staple in those industries, but with technological advances in LED lighting, it was only a matter of time before the intense power of the spotlight came to the world of the everyday consumer. Today, the spotlight—defined as a powerful, narrow beam of light—is available in a wide range of lightweight handheld models, designed to let the user see clearly at a distance when it's dark.
Finding the best spotlight for you will be influenced by how you plan to use the light—a spotlight designed for hunting is likely too powerful for a small backyard. Keep reading to learn more about today's spotlights and to find out why the following are tops in their categories.
BEST OVERALL: Streamlight 44910 Waypoint 1000-Lumens Spotlight
BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK: ENERGIZER LED Spotlight, IPX4 Water Resistant
BEST UPGRADE: GOODSMANN Rechargeable Spotlight Waterproof
BEST HANDHELD: GLANDU Super Bright LED Handheld Spotlight Tactical
BEST MULTIUSE LED: YIERBLUE Rechargeable Spotlight Super Bright
BEST REMOVABLE BATTERY: DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light
BEST FOR HUNTING: Eornmor High Power Outdoor Handheld Portable
BEST LONG RANGE: TONGNAN High Power Super Bright Portable Handheld
What to Consider When Shopping for the Best Spotlight
When shopping for a spotlight, consider brightness, what type of power the light uses, how far the light beam reaches, and the spotlight's overall durability. Spotlights range from less than $20 to more than $200, and the most powerful models come with heftier price tags.
Almost all of today's spotlights feature light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are very bright but do not generate heat. A spotlight's intensity is rated in lumens, and the higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light will be. Consumer spotlights are comparable to flashlights in brightness—a flashlight with 25 lumens will cast barely enough light to read a book in a tent at night, while a flashlight with 200 lumens will efficiently illuminate an average-size yard. High-end spotlights can produce up to 8,000 lumens, and they're meant for things like tracking animals at night when hunting. For around-the-house or work light use, consider getting a spotlight with at least 600 lumens.
The most common type of battery used in spotlights today is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery of strengths ranging from 4.3 volts up to 20 volts or more. However, some of the less-expensive models accommodate disposable batteries. Others can run on both batteries or can plug into a 12-volt direct current (DC) power outlet in a car or on a boat or ATV.
Battery life varies from spotlight to spotlight, depending on the LED bulbs' intensity, battery power, and whether the light is being used at full power or reduced power. Adjustable light intensity is available on many spotlights, so you can turn up the power when you need to see at a distance or turn it down to save on battery life. For most spotlights, run time averages two to eight hours of consistent use.
Spotlights made from quality materials will last longer and stand up to more abuse than ones made from cheap materials. If you're looking for a well-made spotlight that will stand the test of time, look for heavy-duty molded polyethylene and a water-resistant case. Spotlights intended for outdoor use are usually moisture resistant. A rating of IPX-4 means the spotlight will resist light rain and some inadvertent splashing. A rating of IPX-7 indicates the spotlight should be OK if it's dropped in water and retrieved within a few minutes. A rating of IPX-8 means the spotlight is waterproof enough to survive being submerged in water for up to four hours without suffering damage.
To qualify as a top pick, a spotlight should be made from quality materials, be durable, offer some measure of water resistance, and provide a bright focused beam of light. The following spotlights are suited to various purposes. One is sure to be an asset to your home, yard, or automobile.
For powerful light in a pistol-grip spotlight, look to the Streamlight 44910 Waypoint Spotlight that beams 1,000 lumens of bright light up to 2,000 feet away. It runs as long as three hours on a single battery charge and features intense C4 LED bulbs that produce a blindingly bright light. Users can tone the intensity down to 550 lumens or as low as 35 lumens, as desired. On its lowest light intensity, the spotlight's powerful lithium-ion battery can last a staggering 80 hours. The built-in Streamlight battery charges via a 120V AC charger (included). This trigger-style handheld spotlight weighs 2.2 pounds, making it well suited for long-distance carrying. It's made from high-quality molded polyethylene and rubber and is IPX-8 rated to survive being submerged in water for up to four hours without suffering damage.
You don't have to spend a lot to get a good handheld spotlight. The ENERGIZER LED Spotlight comes with a water-resistant IPX-4 rating to resist damage from moisture and an occasional splash, and it emits a bright 600-lumen beam of light that travels nearly 1,400 feet. The ENERGIZER will run for up to six hours and 15 minutes at high intensity and up to 22 hours at reduced power. The lightweight 1.2-pound light runs on six AA batteries (included), and it features high-grade molded plastic that can withstand an impact equal to that of being dropped a two-story distance. This spotlight is well suited to lighting up a nighttime work site or campsite or for use as a supplemental emergency light, and it's available at an affordable price point.
Charge the GOODSMANN Handheld Rechargeable Spotlight from a USB cord and charger (included) or take it with you on the road or in a boat and connect it to a 12V DC outlet. This powerful spotlight is durable and designed to withstand being submerged in water. It emits an intense 4,500-lumen-bright beam, and users can choose from three light-intensity settings plus a flashing SOS setting for drawing attention in the case of an emergency. The GOODSMANN spotlight beam illuminates up to 1,575 feet away, and the light comes with a carrying bag and a wrist strap that doubles as a rescue cord if needed. Manufactured from high-quality ABS, rubber, and aluminum, the spotlight is not only waterproof but lightweight (1.64 pounds), dust-proof, and made to last.
Best Handheld
GLANDU Super Bright LED Handheld Spotlight Tactical
If you're looking for variable light modes and a lantern-style spotlight (as opposed to a pistol-grip), consider the GLANDU Tactical Spotlight that emits up to 6,000 lumens on its highest setting. On super-bright mode, the GLANDU illuminates a path up to 2,300 feet, and it comes with six lighting modes for choosing just the right amount of light to suit every situation. The spotlight features bright LED lights and a powerful lithium-ion battery that charges using a USB cord (included). The lightweight spotlight (1.2 pounds) also serves as a battery bank for charging a cellphone or tablet if necessary. On its highest setting, the spotlight can operate up to eight to 10 hours, and on its lowest setting, it can run for up to 32 hours. Hold the spotlight for direct lighting, or set it on its face and use the convenient sidelight as a work light. The GLANDU is IPX-4 rated to resist damage from splashes and moisture.
Best Multiuse LED
YIERBLUE Rechargeable Spotlight Super Bright
It's tough to find a more versatile spotlight than the YIERBLUE Super Bright LED Spotlight that emits a 6,000-lumen beam and can be adjusted in an array of positions to direct a light beam at just the right angle. This pistol-type spotlight throws an intense beam of light up to 2,600 feet, or it can rest on its face for use as a side work light. It comes with three power levels and features an optional flashing red hazard light if you need to warn oncoming motorists or flag down assistance. The 1.7-pound spotlight charges via a USB cord (included), and it also functions as a USB power bank to charge a cellphone or tablet. Purchase of the light includes a sturdy tripod that supports the spotlight and allows users to rotate the beam to any angle they like, making it well suited for working on the underside of a vehicle.
Best Removable Battery
DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light
If you're in the market for a spotlight with a battery to remove for charging—and that's interchangeable with power tools of the same brand—the DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light fits the bill. This powerful spotlight accepts the same 20-volt MAX battery as other DEWALT power tools, such as the 20V MAX Drill or the 20V MAX Reciprocating Saw. The spotlight illuminates at an intensity of up to 1,000 lumens, and it features an optional red hue that won't interfere with night-vision goggles. The light can be handheld and directed, or it can sit on its end and users can adjust the 90-degree pivoting head for lighting up a specific spot in the workshop. This is the tool only; the battery and charger are not included, but anyone with other 20V MAX tools can use a battery they already have.
Best for Hunting
Eornmor High Power Outdoor Handheld Portable
For the intense light necessary for hunting, check out the Eornmor High Power Outdoor Handheld Portable Flashlight. The ultrabright 6,000 lumens in this flashlight can light a path up to 2,600 away, and on its highest setting, the light will last for up to 10 hours. Rated IPX-4 to resist water damage, the Eornmor is rechargeable and comes with a USB cable. This isn't the type of spotlight to shine toward a neighbor's house unless you want an angry neighbor, but it's well suited for bringing along on an ATV trail or for those times you need to check the back forty for an errant calf that's lost its way. This bad boy offers a maximum amount of light when away from city lights and in need of super-strong illumination. It weighs in at just 1.1 pounds.
Best Long Range
TONGNAN High Power Super Bright Portable Handheld
When in need of long-range illumination, the TONGNAN Super Bright Spotlight is just the ticket. It emits 7,000 lumens of bright light to a distance of 2,600 feet on its highest setting. It also comes with a lower-intensity setting and a flash mode for emergencies. The spotlight's powerful lithium-ion battery charges via a USB cord (included), and it can be used as a battery bank to charge a cellphone, if necessary. Its robust, pistol-grip body is rated IPX-4 to resist water damage. It also floats, making for easy retrieval if dropped in a stream or lake. Weighing in at just 1.1 pounds, the TONGNAN is a powerhouse of a light that won't weigh you down.
FAQs About Spotlights
Spotlights have come a long way since the development of LED bulbs that emit powerful beams of light. If you're shopping for a good spotlight, you likely have some questions.
Q. What spotlight shines the farthest?
That depends on the spotlight's lumens and the power of its battery and its barrel design. In this roundup, the Feidake Xenon Spotlight takes top honors for the farthest light beam, up to 1.5 miles.
Q. How many lumens makes for a good spotlight?
For illuminating an average-size backyard, a spotlight with as little as 500 lumens is more than sufficient. To see at a distance when hunting or camping, opt for more lumens, at least 2,000.
Q. How bright is 1,000 lumens?
A single lumen is as bright as one candle at a distance of 1 foot, so 1,000 lumens is equal in brightness to 1,000 candles at the same distance. However, be aware that spotlights use reflectors to concentrate lumens and direct them in a powerful beam that will seem more intense than the light's corresponding candle comparison.

The judges debated for quite a while on the winner this month, and they finally settled on Wendy Grant's story, "Paul Bunyan's Leather Jacket." Congratulations, Wendy!
MTV used to have a show called "Road Rules." A handful of twenty-somethings traveled around in an RV, stopping occasionally to see a historic site, do something ridiculous like bungee jump from a hot-air balloon, make out with the local townsfolk, call their semi-significant others back home to cry and apologize for said dirty deed, and stab one another in the back. I think they won a Kia and five grand if they survived the odyssey. All of the Road Rulers, as they were called, were young, fit, and impossibly good-looking. It really irritated my buddy Martin.
Martin thought that a bunch of us should travel around in an RV, too—we the not young, the never fit, the potentially fairly good-looking-after-six-martinis. We could go to historic sites, contribute to the community in some way that didn't involve making out with the local townsfolk, and film it all.
"Film it for what? For who?" asked our friend Jenn.
"The History Channel?" I cracked.
"Instead of 'Road Rules,' we can call it 'Old Fools,'" Jenn said.
Given that we are twice as old as twenty-somethings, we couldn't just take off for three months like those Road Rulers. We settled on three days in an RV that Martin nicknamed Petunia, and we set off for the Paul Bunyan RV Park. Despite Petunia's girth, we made it to the RV Park without incident in just under 18 hours.
I was antsy after being the RV for so long—and, frankly, I was probably feeling a bit cocky after decimating Jenn in Uno, 27 games straight. I leaped out of the RV, and I could see it: the enormous statue of Paul Bunyan. Anti-flannel graffiti artists had spray-painted his red and black shirt into a black leather jacket. Our community task would be to remove the graffiti and restore Paul Bunyan's faux flannel. We'd start tomorrow.
"If I'm going to be on camera, I need a haircut," Martin said. He barely has any hair, but he's fastidious about what little he does have.
Three minutes later, Jenn, Martin, Very Quiet Victor, and I set off in search of liquid refreshment. We stopped when we saw the first neon beer sign. The locals sized us up, decided we were harmless, and actively ignored us. The bartender told us it was Ladies' Night—two-for-one apple martinis—and we started a tab. For the purposes of discounted alcohol, Martin and Very Quiet Victor became honorary ladies.
Three rounds later, which was six drinks each later, thanks to the twofers, we were deeply, deeply drunk.
Victor and I ignored her, and, according to video evidence, I lost my top.
Wendy M. Grant is a writer and editor. She's written innumerable advertisements, newsletters, and brochures, and she co-authored a book on the history of Naval Air Station Miramar. When she's not writing and editing for the clients of her company, W-inkling, she works on her screenplay, which she plans to sell this year.

Rohit Sharma's former GF Sofia Hayat, who became nun, now DATING an athlete
Indian star cricketer Rohit Sharma's former girlfriend Sofia Hayat hogged when she announced her separation from husband Vlad Stanescu. The 'Bigg Boss 7' contestant has found love again as she is dating an athlete. Yes, you read that right! The actress, while talking to a leading daily, revealed that she is now dating a professional athlete.
Although, Sofia didn't divulge details about her new boyfriend, she told Times Of India that she is in a happy space in her life. The 'Aksar 2' actress, who turned a year on December 6, shared photos of her birthday outfit on her Instagram handle. Check them out!
A post shared by Sofia Hayat (@sofiahayat)
Sofia Hayat's FIGHT with Armaan Kohli in 'Bigg Boss 7'
Sofia entered Salman Khan's 'Bigg Boss 7' as a wild card contestant and was evicted from the popular reality show in the 12th week. Hayat set several tongues wagging when she accused 'Bigg Boss 7' co-contestant Armaan Kohli of physical assault and registered a case against him. Kohli was even arrested by the police for allegedly assaulting the actress during the show. The two celebs had locked horns during their stint in 'BB 7'.
When Sofia Hayat's naked post created controversy
Earlier this year, Sofia Hayat landed in legal trouble after a cyber crime complaint was registered against her for hurting religious posts. She had posted a photo wherein she exposed her butt while striking a pose in front of an OM painting. She called herself the 'naked goddess', which didn't go down well with several users on Instagram.
Why Sofia Hayat became a nun?
Sofia created a lot of buzz when she informed her fans in 2016 that she has become a nun. She became 'Gaia Sofia Mother' and revealed that she gave up 'sex and makeup' and removed her silicon implants from her breasts. In an interview with Times Of India, Sophia had opened up on her decision to become a spiritual nun. She said that she wanted to 'spread the truth about who we are'.
Why did Rohit Sharma & Sofia Hayat break up?
Rohit Sharma and Sofia Hayat's alleged break-up grabbed several eyeballs after the actress claimed that they parted ways because the cricketer addressed her as a fan while talking to the media. Rohit never spoke about their rumoured affair; however, Sofia in an interaction with SpotboyE claimed that Rohit kissed her during their first meeting in a club in London.
Sofia Hayat's miscarriage
Sofia Hayat got married to Vlad Stanescu on April 24, 2017 in the UK. The actress parted ways with her former husband and accused him of being a 'con man'. Two months after announcing her pregnancy on social media, she suffered a miscarriage. Hayat alleged that the stress in her marriage with Vlad led to her marriage.

Meeting of Interdepartmental Commission for the Implementation of the National Programme to Assist the Voluntary Resettlement of Compatriots
Head of the Federal Migration Service Konstantin Romodanovsky chaired the 24th meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission for the Implementation of the National Programme to Assist the Voluntary Resettlement of Compatriots Currently Living Abroad.
Participants in the meeting included commission members, representatives of the federal and regional executive agencies, Presidential plenipotentiaries to the federal districts and the academic community.
In opening the meeting, Konstantin Romodanovsky Romodanovsky Konstantin briefly summed up the main results of the National Programme implementation in the first nine months of 2015, noting that in that period, over 136,000 compatriots had moved to Russia. Mr Romodanovsky stressed that in accordance with the presidential instructions, the National Programme's mechanisms are being actively used to provide assistance to compatriots arriving urgently, en masse from Ukraine with settling down and processing their necessary legal status documents in Russia. In particular, over 129,000 Ukrainians arrived in Russia within the framework of the National Programme in 2014–2015, with over 87,000 of them arriving in 2015 alone.
During the meeting, participants examined and approved draft regional resettlement programmes for a number of Russian regions. After approving the regional programme for Krasnodar Territory, which plans to join the work to admit compatriots, the number of regions working under the National Programme will reach 60.
The meeting outlined measures to intensify the resettlement of compatriots in Russia, including students, researchers and experts in rare and unique areas of expertise.
Commission members supported a draft Presidential Executive Order prepared by the Federal Migration Service on amendments to the National Programme aimed at using the mechanism of targeted admission of migrants to study at universities and provide them with support in starting small and medium-sized businesses, including farms.

Get Dressed/ Designers
Kristin Booker • October 13, 2010
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Naeem Khan Spring 2011 Collection
About the Designer: Not only is Naeem Khan one of my favorite designers, he's one of my favorite people. The insanely-talented designer turns out genius, incredibly beautiful creations every season. Khan is the descendant of designing talent, learning his craft from his grandfather and father, who were entrusted with the gowns of the Indian Royal Family. He moved to the US where he apprenticed for one of the fashion world's most lauded designers, Roy Halston. He created his namesake house in 2003 and ever since then the fashion work has taken notice.
Every single thing he does has been loved from the minute it pops into his mind until the second it leaves his last look gaze. This is someone who takes excruciating care to craft everything that has his name on it…and it shows. Celebrities from Beyonce to Carrie Underwood to Brooke Shields adore this man for his talent. For information on past collections, read more here.
The Collection: Naeem Khan is one of the most anticipated shows of the season (I actually start to get giddy in my seat before it starts) and it didn't disappoint again. Khan was inspired by the colors and sex appeal of Miami and sent gowns and dresses down the runway with HEAT. The models strutted down the runway in caftans, dresses (both day and cocktail) and gowns in vibrant tropical hues (sunshine yellow, melon pink, ocean blues and greens) mixed with splashes of ink and white that were powerful, sexy and FUN! In a whole week of neutrals, this is what we look to Khan for every season and he delivered without question.
The 70's inspired collection stole accessories from the era and evoked the breathless sun-drenched glamour of the jet set from that era with doorknocker necklaces (designed by his better half, jewelry designer Ranjana Khan) and bejeweled sandals. Gorgeous floral prints and embellishment inspired by the flora of the area brightened the collection and the silhouettes were alluring and red carpet ready. It was wearable day or night and for the woman who wants to be seen and adored. Spectacular!

Running. That's all Ghost has ever known. But he's been running for all the wrong reasons - until he meets Coach who sees something in Ghost: crazy natural talent. If Ghost can stay on track, he could be the best sprinter in the city. Can Ghost harness his raw talent for speed, or will his past finally catch up to him?
"Reynolds' writing is simple, but its impact lasts"
There's nothing supernatural about Jason Reynolds' Ghost (Knights Of), first in a four-book series already beloved in the US. Ghost's real name is Castle, but he has changed it, desperate to be unseen and hard to catch. Since the night his father tried to kill him and his mother, Ghost has had "a lot of scream inside", as well as an impressive turn of speed. Will joining an elite track team stop the scream from bursting out? Reynolds' writing is simple, but its impact lasts.
"Reynolds, writing with colloquial ease, tells Ghost's story beautifully"
If you're having problems finding a novel that will engage your almost-teenage boy (or girl, but Ghost will, inevitably, particularly appeal to boys), look no farther... It's all rather Chariots of Fire at times and there are no unexpected twists or turns — Ghost is a predictable tale of one boy's struggle to succeed because of and despite his history... Yet Reynolds, writing with colloquial ease, tells Ghost's story beautifully, revealing the secrets of the other children in the team and what makes Coach tick. Even the most reluctant reader should get to the finish line.


The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will take effect at May 2018 and is Europe's hottest topic right now when it comes to cybersecurity. Basically, it's the European Parliament's form of regulation, which intends to improve and unify all legislation about data throughout European Union (EU).
Why does it matter? Despite being an EU regulation, its rules far transcends the boundaries of EU and will ultimately affect the world's service providers and consumers.
GDPR is a set of rules that will allow individuals to have more control over their personal data used by any kind of service provider.
Data has been evolving like crazy throughout the years and it appears that the regulations in place have failed to catch up. In EU's context, the data legislation they currently have in place, known as the Data Protection Directive, dates back since 1995. To put it into perspective, this is the time when DVD was the latest innovation along with old school video game consoles. No social networks, no online banks, and no online shopping. The internet and the whole data economy was a very different place.
Previously, the legislations were ambiguous in terms of identifying territorial applicability often relying solely in the context of an existing establishment. This became a problem when data started jumping in value and cloud platforms and services were increasingly becoming the norm in terms of storing and facilitating data.
Under the new GDPR, the legislation will still apply as long as a service affects an EU resident even without the presence of a physical establishment. GDPR makes it clear: it will apply to the processing of personal data by controllers and processors in the EU, regardless of whether the processing takes place in EU or not.
The grounds of consideration for consent have also broadened. The conditions for consent have been strengthened and companies will no longer be able to use long and illegible terms and conditions full of legalese. The request for consent must be given in intelligible and easily accessible form with the purpose for data processing attached to that consent.
This means that long terms and conditions issued by many service providers across industries will now have to tailor the whole process of asking and giving consent for convenience of the users. Consent must be clear and distinguishable from unrelated matters and should use clear and plain language. Both withdrawing and giving consent should be easy to the user.
In relation to the scaled up systems for consent, the GDPR also revamped its penalties. Organizations in breach of the regulation can be fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover or 20 million euros (whichever is greater). This is the maximum fine that can be applied for the most serious offenses. There are still some levels depending on the scale of infringement but what's more important to keep in mind is that these rules apply to both controllers and processors – meaning that clouds will not be exempted from the GDPR enforcement.
This is a big change as this extends beyond the borders of EU and will possibly spark a movement in the data industry.
The GDPR is another manifestation of the importance of data and the whole industry that supports it. Experts in Tech One Global are now also speculating that this is just the start of industry adjustments not just for EU but for the whole world.
Microsoft and Tech One Global are now also preparing for the big changes for the upcoming May 2018 where the GDPR will finally take place. Microsoft has extensive expertise in protecting data, championing privacy, and complying with complex regulations such as the EU-US Privacy Shield and EU Model Clauses. You can be rest assured that the latest developments in our latest solutions like Office 365 and platforms like Azure are all geared up for GDPR and future regulations that might still surface.
In the next article, we will tackle how it specifically affects the controllers and processors. Stay tuned to arm yourself with the most relevant knowledge about GDPR, cybersecurity, and digital transformation.

Overdue Book Returned Anonymously to Idaho Library 111 Years Later
The children's book "New Chronicles of Rebecca" was returned anonymously to a nearby library system. It will now live in a reading room without checkout
Published November 28, 2021 • Updated on November 28, 2021 at 8:19 am
A children's book checked out from the Boise, Idaho, public library in 1910 vanished for 111 years only to be returned anonymously, library officials said.
A copy of "New Chronicles of Rebecca" by Kate Douglas Wiggin, still in good condition, was recently returned to the Garden Valley District Library, about 51 miles outside of Boise, city library officials said.

"The checkout desk noticed that it was rather old and it didn't have any current markings, so they looked into it," city library assistant Anne Marie Martin told NBC affiliate KTVB of Boise.
"I don't think anybody here has seen a book that's been away for so long," she said.

Question # 522: Naming Son Israel
Posted by Abu Zeenat Afdal | Jun 15, 2022 | Messengers (Anbiya), Permissible (Halal) & Impermissible (Haraam) | 0 |
Question # 522: I have read in the chain of many hadiths that some narrators are named 'Israel.' is it ok to name our children 'Israel' nowadays?
Shorter Answer: According to the interpreters of the Qur'an, Israel is the name of Ya'qoob (عليه السلام), the Prophet of Allah, and its meaning is the slave of Allah, as 'Isr' in their language means 'slave', and 'Ael' means Allah. The scholars are in consensus that there it is permissible to name our children after the names of Prophets. Nevertheless, given the circumstances these days, if one feels that naming a child after a particular Prophet will cause any hardship or inconvenience to the child, then it is recommended to you choose a different one.
Long Answer: The Prophet of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى), Ya'qoob (عليه السلام), was [from the progeny] of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام), the intimate friend of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى). His name was also Israel, which means, the slave of Allah. Imam Ash-Shawkani said: 'The interpreters of the Qur'an agreed that Israel is a name of Ya'qoob Ibn Is-Haq Ibn Ibrahim (عليه السلام), and its meaning is the slave of Allah, as 'Isr' in their language means 'slave', and 'Ael' means Allah. It is also said that he had two names, and it is said that Israel is his last name.' Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) described him as a man of knowledge as He says in the Qur'an: "And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know." (Soorah Yusuf, 12:68).
[The scholars are in consensus that] there is no harm in naming children with the names of Prophets … because there is no evidence prohibiting that. This is considered among the general good names which the hadith ordered us to name the children after the names of prophets. The hadith states: "On the Day of Judgement you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers, so make your names good." (Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban) Ibn al-Qayyim said in his book 'Tuhfathul Mawdud' that 'The chain of narrations of this hadith is good,' and so said al-Sakhawi in his book 'Al-Maqassid'. However, in the chain of narrations of this hadith, there are some interruptions that's why Shaykh Al-Albani and Arnout said that it was a weak hadith.
The other evidence about the permissibility of the above (naming after Prophets and angels) is that our righteous predecessors used to name after the names of Prophets… Bukhari and Muslim wrote a chapter about naming after the names of Prophets, and they both mentioned the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) naming his son Ibrahim (Abraham). They also both mentioned that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: "Name yourselves after my name."
In the hadith of Ahmad, Ibn Dawud, and Nasa'i (it is reported): "Name yourselves after the names of Prophets." Ibn al-Qayyim stated in Tuhfat-ul-Mawdud when mentioning that it is permissible to name after the names of Prophets, that Talha (رضي الله عنه) had ten children and he gave them (all) names of Prophets (عليه السلام).
However, according to Dr. Hatem al-Haj, Member of the Fatwa Committee of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America: "If the name will cause any hardship or inconvenience to your child, then I suggest that you choose a different one."

Police Lt. Emily McKinley confirmed Dequante Hobbs Jr was not the intended target.
Dequante Hobbs Jr was seated at his kitchen table in Louisville, KY when a stray bullet hit him in his neck and killed him. Now Louisville, KY police are investigating the shooting that killed a 7-year-old boy. Micheshia Norment, Dequante's mother, spoke with local outlets and said she tried to perform CPR on her son. Unfortunately the ambulance arrived too late and he died later that evening.
"They just shot through my window," Norment said.
Overcome with shock and grief, Dequante's aunt Jackee Partiee also spoke on the senseless act.
"You all take people's lives like it's nothing. Lives are precious. There very precious."
Little Dequante, who was just about to finish first grade at Wellington Elementary School, was at the table with his mother and grandmother playing with a tablet when the stray bullet killed him. Police Lt. Emily McKinley confirmed Dequante was not the intended target.
"There was a group of people out in this backyard and a fight happened. Someone pulled a gun and fired shots," she said. "Obviously, no one intended for a 7-year-old to be killed, but unfortunately, that's where we are today, and I'm pleading for them to come forward.
"If this doesn't wake anybody up, then I don't know what will," Lt. McKinley said.


Dylan's T-Ball season may have ended, but he gets to keep playing baseball!
The baseball association is doing a summer coach-pitch league. Every Monday, the T-Ball players are invited to come to the field. The coaches split the players who show up into two teams, and they have a coach-pitch game. It's free, and we're not obligated to make every game.
We missed the game last week, so this was Dylan's first coach-pitch game. He rocked it! Dylan has been obsessed with baseball since he was a toddler. He was so used to being pitched to, and was confused when he started T-Ball, because he could only hit from the tee. He quickly got over that, and did really well.
Tonight, he was slamming the balls that were pitched to him! The first time he was up to bat, he slammed the ball on the first try, then stared in shock as the ball landed in the outfield. Only then did he realize that he had to run!
He had a great time tonight, so we're going to try to attend as many games as we can.
Lexie is thrilled about this, because it means more time at the playground while Dylan warms up before the game!
I think we're going to enjoy the summer league!
Oh yippee! That is so cool that he was hitting the coach pitches right away! my boys start coach pitch in the fall and I hope they don't have a hard time! That last pic is SO darling!
Aww - glad they are both loving itso much!
Good for him! He is such the little athlete!
How fun!! I bet he had a blast!!
It's so great when things come together for kids like connecting the bat with the ball. Their excitement and interest level just skyrocket!
How fun! He is so handsome!
I guess you can never have too much baseball!
lol so you get to keep on playing afterall. how fun for you all.
I know a few leauges have fall ball too around here.


This is a medium strength black China tea with added dried apple pieces and apple flavouring. The added apple pieces give a sweet, sugary flavour to the black tea. This grade is a medium leaf so takes slightly longer to infuse which realises the sweet acidity from the apple peel.
Our adjoining county of Herefordshire is known for its apples, normally found in wonderful ciders. Apple flavoured tea is a good alternative to putting sugar in the tea and because of the acidity it isn't normally paired with milk.

He Never Died


By Guy Saffold in Evil, God on September 13, 2015 .
The "distance" between ourselves and God never changes. It is always precisely zero. What changes is our perception of His presence. On Mt. Carmel as Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal, God was just as present before the fire fell as after. The difference was that He chose at one point through fire to reveal His power. When Adam and Eve sinned what was withdrawn was not God's presence (which would have comprised his immutable omnipresence) but rather the relational connection between the first couple and God was limited by His sovereign choice. He remained fully present with them without interruption or limitation, but He veiled himself from their sight and awareness. This was veil that limited their perception not His.
It is important to recognize that God's holiness is not like a radioactive element that emits killing particles indiscriminately or like a poison that kills anything it touches. His holiness inclines him immutably to despise evil and to condemn it, and in this He will never change. But matters of life and death are decided by decision of His will which is at all times under His control. Isaiah discovered this when he found himself in the presence of God in the temple (Is 6). He recognized that because of God's holiness he deserved to die, but because of God's decision in grace he was forgiven.
Num 4.15 illustrates the principle in another way. The Kohathites must not look on the holy things in the Tabernacle or they will die. Aaron and his sons, however, can look on these things for they are to wrap them up whenever the Tabernacle is prepared for movement. This shows that there is not some holy "force" of God's presence in them that kills indiscriminately. Instead it illustrates that the effects of God's holiness on created beings are under decision His will. Those whom He has authorized may look and touch. Those who he has not will die if they violate His command.
God "sees" all evil all the time (His immutable omniscience), and all evil at all times is in his presence (His immutable omnipresence) but all evil at all times is hateful to Him (His immutable holiness) and will always without fail be condemned and justice restored (His immutable omnipotence). In fact, there has never been a moment when evil has not been condemned by Him. To the Habakkuk's among us, it appears as if God has either not seen or is not acting. However, before the foundation of our world he decreed both the beginning and the end, and thus the judgment and condemnation of evil were determined by Him at the outset. There has never been a moment when any evil has been uncondemned nor a moment when its judgment was not appointed. It is only a matter of how by His decision the execution of that judgment takes place within the flow of our world's time at the moment of His choosing.
The fact that God can exist in the presence of evil is greatly to our benefit. We can be in the most evil space on earth in the presence of the most evil of his human and demonic created beings, and He will be there with us. If God could not be in the presence of evil, when we entered these dark places we would leave His presence behind and walk ahead alone until, perhaps, we emerged on the other side. But most wonderfully we are promised that He walks with us even in the places of greatest darkness (Ps 23.5), and in those places His presences guides and comforts us. In the presence of our enemies (and His), He prepares our table. He does not have to do this. He chooses to do so because He loves us.

Oxford Book Shops - still going strong despite the various forms of competition. Here's where you can buy specialist or general books in Oxford and Oxfordshire.
Book shops are a bit like pubs: nice places that are endangered, and people are sad about it. The number of independent book shops in the UK has fallen by more than a third in the past decade as competition for Amazon and e-readers has ramped up. From the sound of things, the only thing that's been keeping the physical book industry afloat is 50 Shades of Grey, not to mention the handcuff manufacturers.
But don't despair! Oxford has an enormous population of bookwormy students and strong literary credentials, so the industry is more resilient here. Have a look below for our list of suggestions in the city and a few further afield.

Endangered Vulture In Spain Killed By Toxic Medicine Banned In Other Countries
by zenger.news May 8, 2021
Researchers have determined an endangered vulture in Spain was poisoned by a veterinary medicine banned in other parts of the world.
The cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus), sometimes called a black vulture, was found dead in its nest last September at the Boumort Wildland, an ecotourism nature reserve in the Catalan Pyrenees region of northeastern Spain.
The fledgling had learned to fly just 10 days earlier, authorities said.
It also ingested diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory drug banned for veterinary use in many countries, due to its devastating effect on carrion bird populations, particularly vultures.
Diclofenac causes severe kidney failure in vultures, but in 2013, Spanish authorities approved its use for livestock purposes — despite evidence the decline of Asian vulture populations stopped when it was banned there.
Spain is home to the largest population of vultures in Europe, but the birds' numbers are declining. The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List shows that the cinereous vulture has been threatened since 1988.
The cinereous vulture was found dead in the Boumort mountains in northeastern Spain. (Agents Rurals Catalunya/Real Press)
The dead fledgling was discovered as vultures are monitored and controlled through GPS technology, said Marta Herrero-Villar, a researcher at the Institute for Game and Wildlife Research.
"Thanks to an analysis of its stomach contents and a toxic analysis, it was confirmed it had died of diclofenac poisoning," Herrero-Villar said.
Research published by Herrero-Villar and fellow researchers in the journal Science of the Total Environment in April states the vulture was suffering from severe visceral and articular coagulation caused by the drug.
Professor Rafael Mateo, also with the institute, said while it is unknown how diclofenac passed to the vulture, "it must be from the diet, taking carrion from an animal treated with this anti-inflammatory. Two days before, the same bird was seen alive and apparently in good health during a routine patrol."
The bird had been seen feeding on rubbish in the reserve where it lived.
No other animals have died in the area through diclofenac poisoning, including the fledgling's parents.
When a cow or pig is treated with diclofenac, Mateo said, "the medicine spreads through its body causing the effect that it is meant to do, and slowly the levels of the medicine decrease, except in the injection point, where high levels of this medicine remain for days.
"We believe it was bad luck the bird ate exactly that part of the injection site with higher levels of diclofenac."
Conservation groups and researchers have been lobbying for the drug to be banned in Europe.
Though the European Medicines Agency recognizes the risk of veterinary diclofenac to vultures, it decided current livestock management processes were sufficient to prevent it entering the vulture food chain. The agency recommended EU member states develop further risk management measures, such as regulations and veterinary controls, to avoid poisonings.
Researchers measured the cinereous vulture last summer in order to put a GPS tracker on it. (Group for the Rehabilitation of Native Fauna and Habitats/Real Press)
Mateo said following the medicine's guidelines to prevent an animal treated with it from becoming food for wild fauna would prevent vulture deaths. But he said that's difficult to accomplish. "Knowing there are other nontoxic anti-inflammatories on the market that are safer for vultures and other animals — the more logical thing would be to ban it for livestock that are commonly the food source of those animals."
Even a low dose of diclofenac will have a toxic effect on vultures; it's more deadly than classic poisons.
Cinereous vultures grow 3.3 feet long with an 9.8-foot wingspan. They are considered the biggest birds in the Iberian Peninsula and one of the largest on the European continent.
Mateo said they are crucial to the ecosystem as they dispose of dead animals and control the spread of disease by removing pathogens from rotting carcasses.
Only 500 individual birds remained in the 1980s, he said. Now, thanks to different projects, they number around 2,500 breeding couples.
Several vulture recovery programs across Spain are hoping to connect the populations in the Iberian Peninsula with nearby France to create a European corridor so vulture numbers can be strengthened.

In a black colored world, his consciousness was slow returning to him.
When Yun Che opened his eyes, he saw a small-statured red colored silhouette standing before him, silently gazing at him.
That matchless beautiful little face carried a tinge of pride and coldness. She was still wearing her favourite Smoky Red Fairy Dress. Her scarlet hair reached her hips, making her look both gentle and delicate.
"Jas...mine…" Yun Che whispered. He knew he was in a dream but his soul couldn't stop trembling with excitement.
"You've gotten yourself badly injured again. Don't tell me it's because of that woman?" Jasmine stared at him, that familiar gaze and tone, and that forcefulness of posture, the demeanor of a master.
As her voice trailed off, that dreamlike figure of hers gradually turned blurry.
Yun Che sat up, the pain all over his body jolting him completely awake, his vision also slowly started to clear up.
This place seemed like a naturally formed cave. There was a small campfire made of broken pieces of wood. A young girl dressed in a colorful dress was seated in front of him. Her cheeks and chin rested on both her palms as she stared at him without blinking.
He had a splitting headache, he put his hand on his head for quite a while before slowly easing his grip.
The loss of my mental energy is greater than the injuries I've suffered physically. I'll probably only be able to recover after a long period of time.
"..." Yun Che didn't speak further. He slowly and steadily tried to regain consciousness It was just that he couldn't get rid of the floating red figure he saw in his dreams out of his vision.
"Jasmine…" his consciousness began to fade once more.
It was as if every word of Little Jasmine's was piercing Yun Che's fatal weakness.
The reason why he threw caution to the wind each and every time to risk his life to save this little girl whom he had no ties with… the biggest reason… no… the only reason was because her name was "Little Jasmine".
However… unknowingly, she had left her mark on his heart.
He couldn't ignore those weighty feelings that kept coming to him whenever Little Jasmine seemed to be in danger.
"...There won't be a next time. And don't call me brother-in-law. Sss…".
His tone was grave and speaking opened some wounds. Yun Che winced in pain, his body slightly convulsing.
Little Jasmine didn't interrupt and silently looked at him, not blinking.
Without realizing it, all these feelings started pouring out. Because of Jasmine, he came to the God Realm. He had met countless people, yet he was still constantly lonely. He had to bury his plans for Jasmine deep within his heart. Her name was the worst kind of taboo imaginable here. He couldn't speak of her, he couldn't talk about her to anyone.
Right now, he could not help but confide in this girl called "Little Jasmine" who constantly shouted the term "brother-in-law, brother-in-law" at him. Without knowing why, he poured his heart out and confided in her.
"After she left, I felt as if half of me was suddenly missing. I initially thought that it was because I was used to relying on her strength and the sense of security that she gave me but later on I slowly realized that it was her that I was used to, everything about her. Without her, my life will always have an unfillable vacancy.
"Mn." Yun Che was so focused on his emotions that he didn't realize the strangeness of Little Jasmine's question. He half murmured, "I was born in the lower realms. I came to the God Realm just to see her again… No matter what, I have to find her, even if it's just to properly say goodbye.
Yun Che closed his eyes… If I can find Jasmine… and if it's only just to say goodbye, will I really truly be satisfied?
"You came to the God Realm, to look for Big Sister Jasmine… Is that the one and only reason?" Little Jasmine continued.
"Mn," Yun Che replied without hesitation.
"Divine Nine Star Buddha Jade… Immortal Emperor Grass…" Little Jasmine started to repeat these names to herself, her eyes constantly blinking… I feel like I've heard of them before but it also feel like I haven't?
"Oh," Little Jasmine replied looking somewhat distracted.
After activating the Great Way of the Buddha, Yun Che swiftly settled down, his physical body and mental state started to swiftly recover.
"Such strange names. It feels like I don't have those stuff at home." Little Jasmine was deep in thought. Finally, after much time and putting much effort into thinking about this matter, her eyes lit up.
After she felt certain, the little girl started to become lively again. She immediately started flying into the air and within the blink of an eye, she disappeared.


The data gathered from the 2011 census has been able to shed interesting light on the current structure of home ownership in Australia and how it has changed over time.
In the 1961 census, the metropolitan area of Melbourne had 518,476 occupied dwellings, compare with 1.49 million last year. Whilst this is an expected increase in numbers given our growing population, it is the nature and level of ownership, divided between owners and renters, that shows an interesting shift.
In 1961, 73% of homes were either owned outright or being bought. This percentage dropped to 70% in 2001 and 67% in 2011. Not only has the proportion dropped but these !gures show that the change has been accelerating.
Even more noteworthy is the balance between those who own their home outright and those paying off a mortgage. In 1961, a total of 42% of homes were owned outright. Over the next 40 years that measure did not change substantially. Then, between 2001 and 2006 it fell to 33% and then in 2011 to 31%. In just a decade Melbourne has become a city whereby those with mortgages outnumber those who own their homes outright.
Other 2011 Census data revealed the following stats: the average household comprises 2.6 people, the median weekly household income is $1333, the median monthly mortgage repayments are $1810 and the median age across Melbourne is 36 years.
Data sourced from the REIV and Australian Bureau of Statistics.

A: I would suggest - install XML::Twig which includes the rather handy xml_split utility. That may do what you need. E.g.:
xml_split -c Item

However I'd offer what you're trying to accomplish isn't amazingly easy, because you're trying to cut up and retain the XML structure. You can't do it with standard line/regex based tools.
However you can use a parser:
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;

my @item_list;

sub cut_item {
    my ( $twig, $item ) = @_;
    my $thing = $item->cut;
    push( @item_list, $thing );

}

my $twig = XML::Twig->new(
    twig_handlers => { 'Item' => \&cut_item }
);
$twig->parse(<>);

my $itemcount = 1;

foreach my $element (@item_list) {
    my $newdoc = XML::Twig->new( 'pretty_print' => 'indented_a' );
    $newdoc->set_root( XML::Twig::Elt->new('Items') );

    $element->paste( $newdoc->root );
    $newdoc->print;
    open( my $output, ">", "items_" . $itemcount++ . ".xml" );
    print {$output} $newdoc->sprint;
    close($output);
}

This uses the XML::Twig library to extract each of the Item elements from your XML (piped on STDIN, or via myscript.pl yourfilename).
It then iterates all the ones it found, adds an Items header, and prints it to  a separate file. This approach might take a little more fiddling if you had a more complex root, but it is adaptable if you do.

We are proud to bring more ambient music to you. This is the first EP from Protofuse on the label and we couldn't be happier to release it. It features a few songs with minimal beats, but overall it is really more on the ambient side. If you like your ambient to be minimal and to have sparse beats at times then this is the EP for you.


How to tell the differnce: A mule has bigger ears than a horse, donkeys have the biggest ears but are the shortest.
The infrastructure and economy of Hydra Island Greece depends almost entirely on Equine Power! Mules are the heavy loaders and are used to transport goods such as luggage, plants, white goods, furniture, shopping and building material. Horses tend to be used to transport people but only occasionally shopping or a couple of suitcases. Donkeys aren't as many in Hydra as they used to be and tend to be kept as pets or for personal transportation as they can't carry the enormous loads that mules can.
The mules and horses that are available to ride or to transport luggage are found in the East corner (Alpha Bank) of the harbour.
The rates charged for various destinations, whether to carry your bags to a hotel/house or you want a ride around town, are published on the back of the notice board (next to the bins) opposite the Alpha Bank.
If you are staying at a hotel/guest house, then it is likely that when you get off the dolphin you will see a handcart operator holiding a card up with the name of the place you are staying at. Say hello and let them load your bags in their cart then follow them.
If however you are not being met and you need to get your bags to a hotel, you will have to walk to the corner of the harbour and hire a mule (if your bags are too heavy to carry or you don't know where the accommodation is).
Prices for mule hire vary depending upon the zone you want to go to.
Basically you will pay between €10 (Zone A) and €20 per mule (Zone B) for most places but please note that even though the sign says 4 pieces of luggage, what it actually means is 2 suitcases and 2 pieces of handluggage. So if there are four of you, most likely you will need 2 mules.
Anything higher or further out of the town will cost slightly more and you should check the price before you set out.
If there is a group of 20 or more people, the price of a 15 minute ride comes down to €10 per mul (again only one person on the mule).
All rides start with each person mounting from the steps on the corner of the Alpha Bank (it's easier and less ... personal, than being hitched onto the mule by the muleteer!).
The town ride takes you through the back streets to the football field and back.
If you want to stay within the town and ride for a bit longer, there is a 25 minute trek which will cost you €20 that takes you up to the wells at Kala Pigadi and back.
As the saddles are the traditional wooden variety on most of the town mules/horses, to be realistic, you won't be comfortable enough to do a longer excursion.
If you do want to go further, for example up to one of the monasteries, then you should pre-book a trek with one of the horse trekking companies.
There are two trekking companies that offer helmets, comfortable western saddles with a guide and various treks. They are not found in the harbour (and sadly the town muleteers are reluctant to give directions) so if you want to go further afield, click the link for more details.


Alexander Kristoff's and Luca Paolini's recent Belgian winning streak has been on a new U-profiled front rim supplied by Mavic.
The new front wheel has been spotted being used by the Mavic-sponsored Katusha and Cannondale pro teams in a number of recent races. Unlike previous V-shaped Cosmic Carbone Ultimate wheels this new wheel has a U-shaped section, suggesting that Mavic has warmed to the aero benefits of this profile.
Deeper section carbon rims are de rigueur for racing and increasingly being specced by bike manufacturers on their higher-end bikes. Stability in gusty conditions and side winds were an issue with their earlier incarnations, which used a V-shaped section, with the rim narrowing to a point at the spoke holes.
Zipp has for years been the flagbearer for innovation in deep section carbon wheel design, with their patented wheel section becoming increasingly bulbous and blunt-nosed with successive incarnations, as the company also increased the width of the tyre bed to increase tyre stability and create a more aerodynamic tyre-rim interface.
Zipp claims that U-sections improve aerodynamics and stability, particularly when the wind is not coming from straight ahead of the rider.
Other wheel manufacturers have increasingly followed suit, with new producers such as Swisside adopting bulbous, U-shaped sections.
Mavic and Campagnolo have remained notable hold-outs against U-shaped rims, retaining their older V-profiles along with narrower wheel beds. Now Mavic seems to be following suit and rounding the sections of its newer wheels.
Details about the new front wheel and Mavic's take on U-sections remain scarce, but expect this change in rim profile to proliferate through Mavic's deep section line-up – starting with the Pros' rear wheels.


Halloween in Japan has started gaining in popularity with more and more cities, towns, shopping centers and theme parks displaying colourful Halloween decorations and having fun events. Like most things in Japan, Halloween starts quite early and places will start with the decorations in September through to October.
One of the fun things I enjoy around this time of year in Japan is the Halloween special edition of Japanese treats and snacks. This includes such things as Halloween Pumpkin Kit Kat to Koala no March Halloween.
Despite the growing interest in Halloween in Japan, people don't go trick or treating or carve a jack-o-lantern like we do in the west.
This shot was taken at Tokyo Disneyland, which transforms itself with the splendor of Halloween during October.
The only time I went to Tokyo Disneyland was around Halloween. It was pretty fun, but an expensive night.
Thanks Lina, I bet your little boy would have love it :) Halloween and Christmas are probably the best time of year to visit but can be very crowded.


Cardfight #102 sees us pit Dempster's Oracle Oracle Think Tank deck against ZaCaptain's Chronofang Gear Chronicle deck.
Cardfight #81 sees us pit Dempster's Battle Sister Oracle Think Tank deck against JJ's Metalborg Dimension Police deck. You can check the video above to see the bout, but if you're interested in seeing the Battle Sister deck profile, we have it in this post.
If you want to check out what's in the Metalborg deck, click here.
Despite other viable First Vanguards, Waffle is still a good starter due to her ability to check the top 3 cards of your deck and call a unit among them, similar to Gold Paladin's Knight of Early Dawn, Coel. You can choose to use it early to rush your opponent, or save it for when you need to save your hand for other things like maintaining Oracle.
Rusk is a good alternative 10000 Power attacker to Taffy, with the added bonus of Resist, for whenever you run into decks that target your rear-guards. Just keep count of the number of Soul you have.
Speaking of the soul, Syrup is great for Soul Charging, but be careful not to spam it too much or you'll end up decking out through a combination of drawing and Soul Charging.
The deck is also very Counterblast friendly thanks to Muffin, who provides a good Countercharge engine and deck refreshing and filtering. Being able to send back your criticals always helps.
Berry-mousse may be situational, but she is a perfect unit to have on the field, once you're ready to call multiple rear-guards during your turn. With every Battle Sister called, she gains 2000 Power, so even having her there when you stride to Miroir or Gelato is also helpful in letting her hit the Vanguard on her own.
Since we're talking about Striding, Madeleine, when combined with Miroir, provides a good win-win situation for you. Miroir's skill lets you draw a card when an attack hits, or Countercharge when the attack did not hit. In any of those cases, something will happen.
Mirior is a good late-game unit due to her Oracle skill of adding 1000 Power to all Battle Sisters in the front row for every card in your hand. So that immediately activates when you have 5 cards, so that means an additional 5000 Power on the spot.
But despite all of this, it can be somewhat cumbersome to have non-Battle Sister units in the deck with it. Some of the units do require Especial costs or only provides benefits to Battle Sister units, so its best to maximise the number of Battle Sisters there is in the deck. That… and I ran out of Lozenge Magus to put in the deck. Hehe.


Is the medium truly the message? Is there a difference in your material if you write it pen-in-hand versus typing it into a computer? How deeply does a writer's signature come across via keystrokes rather than hand-held pencil mechanics?

The humans are the direct decedents of the Calinthean Gods themselves. They have all descended from the tribes that fled Calinthea at the great sundering. Although not the first race to the lands of Valys, the Humans formed the five kingdoms that now rule all of the lands. The most numerous of all the races the Humans wield the majority of the political and military power. Although their cultures are very different in each land, Humans are the dominant race. Humans generally live to about sixty years old. In the last couple of generations certain humans have been born with a divine portent in the sky, which marks them out as chosen for greatness and grants them a spiritual link to one of the first seven Calinthean Gods.
The Gods were the first children of Mother Earth herself. Seven children; 5 boys and 2 girls. They lived in the centre of the face of their mother under the watchful gaze of Father Sky. Across the seas laid the great realms, the realm of Shadows and the realm of Vitae. Here they created a great civilisation, the great city of Calinthea, that spanned across the land. On this land the race of man grew, the children of the gods themselves, and it was a great time – one of peace and harmony.
However, the Gods and their children were not the only people on this land. The Demon Lords - the children of Father Sky – dwelt in the dark places and watched the growth of Calinthea. They saw the worship and adoration that the Gods were getting from their children and they grew jealous. Wishing the worship for themselves the Demon Lords tried to tempt the children of the gods, teaching them the secret of fire.
The people of Calinthea could not be tempted by the Demon Lords and over the next thousand years their civilisation grew even more prosperous and they remained faithful to the Gods. The second time the Demon Lords tried to tempt the people of the Calinthea they tempted them with the secret of magic – sorcery. This magic had the power to control people's actions and words and those that were taught it grew in position and strength. Many more years passed but soon sorcerers were in positions in power across the land. The Demon Lords called in the favours that they had been offered and their followers started to use their power to erect large temples to the demon lords.
This caused a war which tore the civilisation of Calinthea apart. Although the followers of the Gods were a lot more in number, the power that the Sorcerers held was mighty and many flocked to their banner. In the end the Gods themselves had to intervene, performing a great rite known as the Sundering.
The Sundering banished the Gods and the Demon Lords from this land for a thousand years – the Gods trapped deep within their Mother, where the Gods were banished to dwell with their father, far away from man. A black mist filled the land of Calinthea that clawed at the heart of any one that dwelt there. The First children of the Gods took the surviving loyal followers on boats across to the Endless Seas where they found a land known as Valys. The remaining demonic cultists left to the land now known as the Demon Wastes.
It was on the lands of Valys that the tribes of man discovered the other races. The Naturae, the walking spirits of the glades and streams, kept themselves hidden from man on his arrival. The Fae resented the newcomers – and started to war against them. The war carried on for almost a hundred years, until for reason unknown to man the Fae declared a truce. In return for peace, the tribes of man learnt from the Fae and elected druids who taught them the secret of Spirit magic, living in harmony with the Earth herself.
After wars with the brutal Yo'Tan and the dark Shadowkith, man ruled all of Valys. They split themselves into five kingdoms. Over the next thousand years the five kingdoms grew and warred amongst themselves. What started as rivalry grew over the centuries and without the God's guidance the people of Valys became bitter and twisted. Distrust between the nations grew and border disputes between the nations became common place. Even the history of their past became distorted from kingdom to kingdom.
When a thousand years had passed people started to be born under the signs of the Calinthean Lords. The Gods began to start whispering to their faithful, sending them messages and prophesies in their dreams. Dreams about the Holy Lands and the banners of the kingdoms were sent to the priests and the kings started sending scouts and explorers across the sea for find their ancient homeland. At the same time the actions of the Demon Lords started to affect people in all the five Kingdoms. The Tainted were born, lighting storms struck the land and demonic cults started to grow in both power and activity.
The Culture of the humans varies from kingdom to kingdom, although many hark back to the time of the Calinthean age. The land of Valys is a harsh and brutal place and the humans have their survival as a common theme to all of their concerns. See the kingdom section for more detail.
