On May 9th, 2015 a KNCA report claimed North Korea to have test fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). North Korea has dubbed this SLBM the Bukkeukseong-1 (Polaris-1 or KN-11). The range of the missile is estimated around 900km, however, it was reported by 38 North to be comparable to the original Soviet single-stage liquid-fuelled SLBM (R-27). The Soviet-era SLBM R-27 had a range of 2,400km and could carry up to a 650kg payload. South Korean officials have noted that the missile traveled 100-150 meters in the air when ejected during the May 9 test. The unpredictability of North Korean's regime has forced the U.S. to reassess their posture in the region. Analysts contend there is a possibility of photo editing and video manipulation of the test launch. North Korea has been known to doctor military photos, and the photos of the test-fire provided by the KCNA can not be verified for validity.
North Korea considered adding SLBM's to their offensive arsenal in the late 1980's when it developed Scud (tactical ballistic missiles developed by the Soviet Union) manufacturing ability. However, North Korea's existing WHISKEY and ROMEO class submarines could not be modified to carry SLBM's.
In September 1993, North Korea purchased 12 decommissioned Russian FOXTROT class patrol submarines and GOLF II class ballistic missile carrying submarines. North Korea examined the design of the decommissioned Russian submarines, in particular the GOLF II class submarine, since it possessed components of the missile launch systems. The FOXTROT and GOLF II class submarines were scrapped due to their aged condition.
In the early 2000's, North Korea continued research and development into incorporating ballistic missile launch technology on sea-based systems. North Korea engaged in new naval construction and modernization programs where SANG-O II coastal submarines and ROMEO patrol submarines were subsequently produced. North Korea's current submarine fleet is made up of around 70 Soviet-era submarines.
In 2010 satellite images revealed the North Korean Sinpo South Shipyard as a potential test stand for launching ballistic missiles from submarines, or a shipboard for vertical launch ballistic missiles. Using images that surfaced early in 2015, U.S. analysts observed that there had appeared to be one or two vertical launch tubes on the conning tower of the North Korean SLBM.
The U.S. intelligence community has assessed the supposed SLBM test fire as a compressed-gas ejection system test instead of a launch from a submarine. Experts contest that North Korea requires years of further SLBM development before they could launch a SLBM that could threaten the United States. Dr. Choi Kang, Vice President of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies believes North Korea could have an operational and deployed SLBM system by 2025.
If North Korea were able to combine a future operationalized SLBM with a miniaturized nuclear device, it could produce a sea-based deterrent enhancing its nuclear threat capacity. North Korea's ICBM forces, which consists of an un-tested road-mobile KN-08, makes North Korea's nuclear arsenal potentially more survivable. Full nuclear SLBM capability could provide North Korea with a survivable second-strike capacity and the potential to retaliate against adversaries. North Korea's increased nuclear capability could escalate the risk of nuclear proliferation amid rogue states and non-state actors. With North Korea's belligerent and dangerous behavior, regional states, such as Japan, South Korea, and China, are growing concerned about the growing nuclear threat in North Korea. Deployed North Korean SLBM's could lead to an offensive and defense arms race on the Korean peninsula which would result in decreasing security and increasing the potential for conflict.
Satellite pictures of the submarine used in the alleged test firing is estimated at 65.5 meters and is likely a diesel-electric powered ballistic missile submarine (SSB), also known as Sinpo class. The SSB is handicapped by its range and endurance, and can not outrun U.S. attack submarines. A SSB could wait in its pre-designated position and remain submerged by running on batteries, but an ASW target can locate the SSB since it would have to surface to recharge its batteries. North Korea lacks long-range power projection capabilities to protect the SSB against ASW forces. Nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) are traditionally hard to detect and counter through pre-emptive strikes because of its infinite power and underwater endurance. SSBN's can easily strike from a distance beyond the adversary's anti-submarine warfare (ASW) coverage. If North Korean possessed SSBN's, the SLBM threat would be heightened because they are nearly invulnerable to preemptive strikes.  As SLBM's approach the coastline of the target country, warning times for missile defense systems decrease and the first warning would be when radar detects the missile in the air.
If KN-11 is similar to the Soviet R-27 and operational, it would require the Sinpo class submarine to be at sea for 60-90 days before it could launch an attack within range of the United States since North Korea lacks a mature ICBM capability.
Seoul is considering incorporating a US terminal high-altitude area defense (THAAD) system to create a layered defense in defending North Korea's spectrum of missile threats. A medium to upper range missile defense system would enhance South Korea's early warning defense for a potential missile threat.

Messenger & Phipson first appear in Birmingham city directories in 1797 on Park Street. By1800 they were listed on Lovejoy Street and in an 1808 advertisement in a trade directory they describe themselves as: "Brass Founders, Manufacturers of Church Candlesticks, Patent Lamps, Etc.," at Broad Street. Between this date and 1812, the firm is believed to have employed as many as 250 men making it one of the largest brass manufacturers in Birmingham. In 1823, a year after opening a London office at 21 Greville Street, Messenger & Phipson are listed at 22 Broad Street, Birmingham. This is the final year of the association of Thomas Messenger and Thomas Phipson. Thomas Messenger continued in the business until his death in 1832 when the firm, under the name of Messenger and Sons carried on under the direction of his son Samuel. The firm continued as chandelier, lamp, lantern and ornamental brass and iron makers into the 20th century. The firm had a substantial export business throughout the Classical period selling private labeled lighting fixtures to luxury emporiums like Jones, Lows & Ball in Boston and J. & I. Cox and Baldwin Gardiner in New York, Louis Veron in Philadelphia and their counterparts in Baltimore and Richmond,.

Proudly made in the USA, American Rifle Company's M10 Rings represent a new standard against which other rings will be measured.
Even under the heaviest recoil, M10 Rings hold firmly without marring or indenting the scope. These uniquely split rings maintain reticle alignment during scope installation while their low profile leaves the shooter with a clear view of the turrets.
M10 Rings feature a crowned-rail interface which precisely and correctly engaged rails, even those which fail to meet Mil and STANAG specification. The result is excellent return-to-zero performance.
Extremely strong and light-weight, M10 Rings are CNC machined from 7075 aluminum alloy and anodized with a mil-spec hard coat for excellent corrosion resistance and a matte-black finish.
Stainless steel hardware is used throughout and includes a high strength 410 stainless cross bolt.
The 21mm (0.83") width and single recoil slot engagement offers more eye-relief adjustment than our previous models.
Recommended torque for both rail clamp and scope clamp screws is 5.6-6.2 Nm (50-55 in-lbs).

Beating the Odds Award Winners
In 2015 the conference launched a new initiative – its quarterly awards for Justice and Reconciliation. For the 2nd quarter, the Justice and Reconciliation Team solicited stories of youth and young adults of strong faith and character who are succeeding in spite of various challenges. The team was proud to bestow award to the two young women described below. Each received letters of congratulation, certificates and a check for $250 to help them continue to pursue their dreams.
Jalen Lawson
My daughter entered high school in 2007 with dreams of attending college outside North Carolina. Yet, Jalen didn't know then the journey she would have to walk to find peace.
She endured bullying at school, endured the death of her beloved grandmother, and endured the loss of her father. My mother was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer in the fall of Jalen's freshman year. Jalen was just getting to a place of comfort after dealing with the loss of her father, so the news of her grandmother's illness was heartbreaking.
Jalen often cared for her grandmother, but she struggled to make friends at school. Many of her classmates knew one another from elementary school.
Jalen made the cheerleading squad at school, which brought some normality. But things begin to change when she was invited to a week at the beach, and she was the only one who did not attend due to a lack of parental supervision. Students began to bully her, excluding her and calling her names.
The bullying grew worse during Jalen's sophomore year. It seemed that I had to constantly meet with counselors, principals and teachers about the bullying and harassment.
During Jalen's senior year, she was excluded from the cheerleading squad. She had cheered for Guilford County Schools since seventh grade, and she was on the varsity squad her junior year. Despite knowing that she was dealing with her grandmother's illness, many continued to harass Jalen. I requested a conference, and Jalen was put back on the squad. However, the bullying continued.
Through it all, she relied on her faith. Jalen went through high school with only one friend, and she stopped speaking to Jalen out of fear she would be bullied, too.
My mother died Nov. 14, 2010, after going through two surgeries to attend Jalen's graduation. My mother asked Jalen if she could go to sleep. (She said she was tired.) Jalen, being unselfish, told her to go to sleep as I rocked her in my arms.
My daughter has risen through many harsh ordeals to become a lady of distinction. She has always taken the right road instead of the popular road. She hasn't harbored any ill feelings toward the school that tried to break her spirit. God sent her an amazing counselor who provided a lot of support.
Jalen's grandmother and her aunt, Lola McAdoo, had encouraged her to apply to Bennett College. She promised her grandmother she would continue her education. One day, she found a book her grandmother had given her about Bennett College and asked her aunt to help her attend college. (It has been a life-altering path for my child.)
Jalen has stayed the course and been true to God's Word, "You were made for more." She now has the confidence to spread the word of God's goodness and realizes the journey was the gift! She told me, "Mom, I realized that God wants me to have these feelings so he can show me who he is. But you must follow his lead with doing your part."
I'm so proud of my prayer warrior because she sees the big picture. Traveling to Seoul Korea, she has seen United Methodism from a global perspective. Jalen's faith in God has changed how she views people. Korea changed her life for the better. Jalen knows life will never be fair, but with God, all things have been possible. Jalen committed to a "soul tie" while in Korea, and her grades this semester prove that forgiveness has been the foundation of her peace. Jalen ran into one of the girls on the cheerleading squad recently and spoke to her and hugged her. I knew then that God had moved a mountain in my child's heart.
I'm truly thankful Jalen understands that faith will carry you where your eyes can't see. Jalen encourages others to do better, but she meets them where they are in life without judgment! God had to block all those things while opening her eyes to see the inner strength.
Jalen does well in college. My child was told her SAT scores weren't good enough for college, and Bennett was the only college that accepted Jalen. She realized that Bennett has always been in God's master plan.
Jalen has faced many obstacles in life, but with guidance from her family, pastor, and her faith, she has been able to overcome it all. I'm truly proud of how she has never given up. She has this gift for forgiveness that is remarkable, but I know if she didn't believe in God I would have loss her during high school. Jalen had a 3.6 GPA this semester and to God be the glory!
Jalen will graduate in December and I know it has only been God. I'm grateful for all United Methodism has done for my child.

Isabella Sutton
Isabella Sutton, 17, is a member of Guilford College United Methodist Church in Greensboro. She has Angelman's syndrome (AS), which is a rare, neuro-genetic disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 live births. Characteristics include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures, and walking and balance disorders.
I met Isabella 11 years ago. She and my daughter are the same age. I was so amazed then at how determined Isabella was to keep up with the other 14 girls in her age group at church. She could not speak, but every time I saw her, she was smiling. When I started a Daisy Girl troop, I asked if Isabella could join. Her mother, Carla, agreed. Isabella started coming with her one-on-one. She has earned many badges, her Bronze award and her Silver award over the last 10 years. Her Silver award was earned for working with families that have at least one blind parent. She worked with other girls on a national blind bowling tournament. They also planned a huge Christmas party for all the children of these families in Guilford County. Isabella led putting the gift bags together and giving them out.
Isabella also works every year to help make stockings for the 40-50 children at Partnership Village (Greensboro Urban Ministries). She is always the first one on the assembly line. The girls in the troop donate toys and stuffing items each year. We made all 50 this year with only five volunteers (Scouts). Isabella worked tirelessly for three hours, then loaded them in my car.
Isabella still struggles to talk. I have heard her say around 20 words in 10 years. I was very tired that day as we worked to make the stockings. Isabella reached over, hugged me and said, "Merry Christmas." That was the best holiday greeting I ever experienced.
Isabella is also a champion swimmer with Special Olympics. She swims every year and encourages others. She is an amazing athlete. She is active in our church youth group, and her high school. All of her peer group respects her and is inspired by her accomplishments.

My husband Mike is one of the Directors at Ford Farm – a traditional West Country farmhouse cheesemaker, based on the Ashley Chase Estate at Litton Cheney in West Dorset. Mike is chairman of the Cheese Awards at the Bath & West and was keen to encourage more people along to the awards so asked me if I could carve a crown from a half tonne piece of farmhouse cheddar to commemorate the 57th anniversary of the Queen's Coronation. And so I took on my first commission as a cheese sculptor!
It was quite a challenge, and took me three days and nights to finish. Farmhouse cheddar is quite crumbly so you have to work quickly and keep the cheese moist, otherwise it will crack. When sculpting cheese I always wear a hygiene hat and gloves and have to hand a water spray, some olive oil (which doesn't detract from flavour) and cling film – to stop the cheese from drying out.
I work in one of the cold storage rooms, which is completely separate from the house, as it maintains a fairly constant cool temperature which is ideal for cheese carving. The sculpture has to be fully wrapped in cling film after I've finished for the day to prevent moisture escaping from the cheese.
Since that first piece back in 2010 I have worked on a number of other interesting commissions. In November I was asked by the Royal Tank Regiment in Salisbury to create a replica Mark 1v tank from a selection of our cheeses. Fortunately, the Bovington Tank Museum is only a few minutes from Ford Farm so I was able to nip over there to see the tank in situ. The cheese tank cake was to mark the Regiment's most celebrated battle, the Battle of Cambrai in 1917 and was served in the Officers' Mess at a special dinner.
Another interesting commission was from the organisers of the Wells Literary Festival who asked me to create a cake on behalf of Mary Berry who was one of their speakers, and also my idol. I made some flowers out of a cheese-based royal icing, which I then used to decorate the cake.
Cheese wedding cakes are always popular and I recently created one for a bride who got married at Wookey Hole, which was filmed by Channel 4 for a reality TV Show. I also appeared on Russell Howard's Good News TV programme on the Guess my Secret Skill slot, which was a real giggle.
When I'm not carving in cheese you will find me working 200 ft underground in the Wookey Hole Caves, looking after the Ford Farm cheddars which we mature in a dedicated cheese cave.
The cheddars have to be turned and brushed regularly and it's my job to keep the space immaculately clean. It's not quite as glamorous as appearing on Russell Howard's show but someone's got to do it!

After being ranked 14th in Tuesday's Oracle Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll — the team was previously No. 20 — Cal women's tennis (6-3, 1-0) will have the opportunity to improve to a 3-0 record in conference play.
Cal will face off against Arizona (8-5, 0-2) on Friday and Arizona State (5-6, 0-2) on Saturday. All players, including No. 24-ranked senior Olivia Hauger, who did not play last week at Oregon, are expected to be in the lineup for this set of matches.
Both opponents are unranked and are thus far winless in Pac-12 play. Each lost to both of the Los Angeles teams, USC and UCLA, this past weekend in their home conference openers.
The Bears already met the Sun Devils at the beginning of the season during ITA Kick-Off Weekend in Columbia, South Carolina, where they comfortably won 4-1. The sole point surrendered by Cal was the doubles point — Arizona State boasts the sixth-ranked doubles pair, consisting of Lauryn John-Baptiste and Ilze Hattingh, in the country.
Cal head coach Amanda Augustus has made many changes to the doubles lineup since, and the Bears hold a 5-1 doubles record in matches played after the lost doubles point to the Sun Devils.
"We played them already, but we've changed and improved our doubles since then," Augustus said of the rematch. "We'll definitely look back at our notes and practice a few things doubleswise."
The main change the Bears made was swapping the two pairings of Hauger/Julia Rosenqvist and Hana Mraz/Katerina Stloukalova. One of the highlights of Cal's season thus far was the new-at-the-time duo of Mraz and Rosenqvist defeating the top-ranked pair in the nation in its win at then-No. 7 Pepperdine on Feb. 16.
In March 2018, the Bears lost in a 4-0 sweep to the Sun Devils in Tempe, and this weekend's match will feature many similar characters. Hattingh and John-Baptiste have consistently played at court one and court two, respectively, this season, as they did in their victory against Cal last spring.
John-Baptiste impressed recently with a win against then-No. 10 UCLA freshman Elysia Bolton. Bolton won her singles match against Hauger in the nonconference dual match the Bears and the Bruins played earlier this year.
Both teams on the docket for Cal this weekend have proven some ability to put up a good fight when facing tough competition. Last weekend, Arizona lost 4-3 to No. 6 UCLA, and Arizona State lost 4-3 to No. 17 USC.
After playing the Arizona teams, Cal will meet Hawaii at home before beginning tougher conference play against No. 17 USC, No. 6 UCLA and No. 9 Washington.
There are some matches the Bears should expect to win as a top-15 team, and this weekend's matches are no exception.

Ontario, Dec 8: BlackBerry Ltd on Thursday announced a new framework to safeguard connected and autonomous vehicles against cyber attacks.
"Leveraging our experience as a leader in cybersecurity and embedded automotive software, BlackBerry has created a recommended framework to protect cars from cybersecurity threats. If followed, we believe vehicles will not only be secure but BlackBerry Secure," Sandeep Chennakeshu, President of BlackBerry Technology Solutions, said in a statement.
According to the recommendations, establishing a root of trust by ensuring every chip and electronic control unit (ECU) in the automobile can be properly authenticated and loaded with trusted software, irrespective of vendor or manufacturer.
"Create a security architecture that is deeply layered in a defence in depth architecture, with secure hardware, software, and applications," BlackBerry said.
Using an electronic system architecture that isolates safety critical and non-safety critical ECUs and can also "run-safe" when anomalies are detected is essential.
Moreover, automakers should confirm that a defined set of metrics can be scanned regularly when the car is in the field, as well as be able to take actions to address issues via secure over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
"Share common vulnerabilities and exposures among a network of subscribing enterprises so expert teams can learn from each other and provide advisories and fixes in shorter time frames," the company suggested.
BlackBerry is expected to demonstrate its vision for connected cars and autonomous vehicles at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 9-12.

Hadith: Discussion of validity and authenticity
Because hadith is "the basis for most" Islamic laws and codes "at the detailed level", which pertain "to people's life, honour and property", and because many (especially revivalist and conservative Muslims) consider these not just inspirational or informational but laws "sacrosanct or immutable Shari'ah" to be enforced, and because to others (especially modernist and liberal Muslims) the laws thus developed are "contrary to the intent and spirit of the Qur'an and Islam's fundamental commitment to justice and fairness", the "problem of the authenticity of the Sunnah" or hadith has become an issue for those (especially modernist and liberal Muslims) who believe there is a conflict between the "intent and spirit of the Qur'an" and "centuries-old" hadith-based jurisprudence.
Traditions of the life of Muhammad (PBUH) and the early history of Islam were passed down mostly orally for more than a hundred years after Muhammad's death in AD 632. Muslim historians say that Caliph Uthman ibn Affan (the third khalifa (caliph) of the Rashidun Caliphate, or third successor of Muhammad), is generally believed to urge Muslims to record the hadith just as Muhammad suggested to some of his followers to write down his words and actions. However, no sources survive directly from this period so we are dependent on what later writers tell us about this period.
According to British historian of Arab world, Alfred Guillaume, it is "certain" that "several small collections" of hadith were "assembled in Umayyad times."
In Islamic law, the use of hadith as now understood (hadith of Muhammad with documentation, isnads, etc.) came gradually. According to scholars such as Joseph Schacht, Ignaz Goldziher, and Daniel W. Brown, early schools of Islamic jurisprudence used rulings of the Prophet's Companions, the rulings of the Caliphs, and practices that "had gained general acceptance among the jurists of that school".
According to the scholars Harald Motzki and Daniel W. Brown, the earliest Islamic legal reasonings that have come down to us were "virtually hadith-free", but gradually, over the course of second century A.H. "the infiltration and incorporation of Prophetic hadiths into Islamic jurisprudence" took place.
John Esposito notes that "Modern Western scholarship has seriously questioned the historicity and authenticity of the hadith", maintaining that "the bulk of traditions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad were actually written much later." According to Esposito, Schacht "found no evidence of legal traditions before 722," from which Schacht concluded that there is no scientific evidence that the Hadith or Sunna attributed to the Prophet are actually his words and deeds, but apocryphal material dating from later.
Henry Preserved Smith and Ignác Goldziher also challenged the reliability of the hadith, Smith stating that "forgery or invention of traditions began very early" and "many traditions, even if well authenticated to external appearance, bear internal evidence of forgery." In particular, the influence of the ruling class such as the Umayyads and the Abbasids and the clergy they supported led to certain traditions which denigrated those who opposed the ruling class, such as the descendants of Muhammad (from his daughter Fatima) and Ali who were treated as enemies within because of their non-allegiance to the ruling caliphs.
Goldziher writes that "European critics hold that only a very small part of the ḥadith can be regarded as an actual record of Islam during the time of Mohammed and his immediate followers." In his Mohammedan Studies, Goldziher states: "it is not surprising that, among the hotly debated controversial issues of Islam, whether political or doctrinal, there is not one in which the champions of the various views are unable to cite a number of traditions, all equipped with imposing isnads."
Patricia Crone noted that early traditionalists were still developing conventions of examining the chain of narration (isnads) that by later standards were sketchy/deficient, even though they were closer to the historical material. Later though they possessed seemingly impeccable chains, but were more likely to be fabricated particularly when they were known to support the ideology of the ruling class.
Bernard Lewis writes that "the creation of new hadiths designed to serve some political purpose has continued even to our own time." In the buildup to the first Gulf War, a "tradition" was published in the Palestinian daily newspaper Al-Nahar on December 15, 1990, "and described as `currently in wide circulation`" It "quotes the Prophet as predicting that "the Greeks and Franks will join with Egypt in the desert against a man named Sadim, and not one of them will return". Similar traditions were either fabricated or weak traditions quoted to support the holy war in India (Ghazva-tul-Hind).
Islamic Schools and Context
Within Sunni Schools, it was Abū ʿAbdullāh Muhammad ibn Idrīs al-Shāfiʿī (150-204 AH), known as al-Shafi'i who emphasized the final authority of a hadith of Muhammad, so that even the Quran was "to be interpreted in the light of traditions (i.e. hadith), and not vice versa." While traditionally the Quran is considered above the sunna in authority, Al-Shafi'i "argued" that the sunna stands "on equal footing with the Quran", (according to scholar Daniel Brown) for (as Al-Shafi'i put it) "the command of the Prophet is the command of God."
In 851 the rationalist Mu`tazila school of thought fell from favor in the Abbasid Caliphate. The Mu`tazila, for whom the "judge of truth … was human reason," had clashed with traditionists who looked to the literal meaning of the Quran and hadith for truth. While the Quran had been officially compiled and approved, hadiths had not. One result was the number of hadiths began "multiplying in suspiciously direct correlation to their utility" to the quoter of the hadith (Traditionists quoted hadith warning against listening to human opinion instead of Sharia; Hanafites quoted a hadith stating that "In my community there will rise a man called Abu Hanifa [the Hanafite founder] who will be its guiding light". In fact one agreed upon hadith warned that, "There will be forgers, liars who will bring you hadiths which neither you nor your forefathers have heard, Beware of them." In addition the number of hadith grew enormously. While Malik ibn Anas had attributed just 1720 statements or deeds to the Muhammad, it was no longer unusual to find people who had collected a hundred times that number of hadith. Abu Huraira, for example, spent only two or three years with the Prophet, was punished by the second caliph Umar as a result of him going too far in forging hadiths from the Prophet but yet is credited with narrating at least 5374 Hadith.
The Ahlus Sunnah or Sunni School was favored by the Abbasids and the Hanafi sharia law was gradually adopted by the Abbasid state. This also affected the quality and direction of the hadith literature.
Faced with a huge corpus of miscellaneous traditions supported differing views on a variety of controversial matters—some of them flatly contradicting each other—Islamic scholars of the Abbasid sought to authenticate hadith. Scholars had to decide which hadith were to be trusted as authentic and which had been invented for political or theological purposes. To do this, they used a number of techniques which Muslims now call the science of hadith. In modern times, the revisionists are seeking to validate Hadith in order to support their own ideology disregarding the historical narratives and chains of events. These may be described as ahistorical revisionists and, in the Subcontinent, include the likes of Hamiduddina Farahi, Amin Ahsan Islahi, Ghulam Ahmed Parwez and Javed Ahmed Ghamidi. Several scholars have highlighted their links with the imperialist powers (Farahi was chosen by Lord Curzon, the British Viceroy in India, for a special assignment in the Middle East while Ghamidi fled from Pakistan and established his centre in the US), their ahistorical and ideological leanings and and limited understanding of the Hadith and Arabic language.
Critics have complained that, contrary to the description above where the matn is scrutinized, the process of authenticating hadith "was confined to a careful examination of the chain of transmitters who narrated the report and not report itself. 'Provided the chain was uninterrupted and its individual links deemed trustworthy persons, the Hadith was accepted as binding law. There could, by the terms of the religious faith itself, be no questioning of the content of the report; for this was the substance of divine revelation and therefore not susceptible to any form of legal or historical criticism,'" according to scholar N.J. Coulson. However, considerable problems arose when scholars of the later centuries (e.g. 4ht Hijra century and afterwards) started questioning the authenticity or sanad of hadiths from earlier centuries based on the material written in later centuries.
The major points of intra-Muslim criticism of the hadith literature is based in questions regarding its authenticity. However, Muslim criticism of hadith is also based on theological and philosophical Islamic grounds of argument and critique. Muslim scholars have a long history of questioning the hadith literature throughout Islamic history. Western academics also became active in the field later, starting in 1890, but much more often since 1950.
Perhaps the most famous collector of hadith, Muhammad al-Bukhari, reportedly devoted 16 years to sifting nearly 600,000 narrations, and arrived at approximately 7400 authentic hadith. Experts, in general, have estimated the number of full-isnad narration at 7,397, and without considerations to repetitions or different versions of the same report, the number of Prophetic traditions reduces to approximately 2,602.
According to Daniel Brown, the major causes of corruption of Hadith literature are:
political conflicts (and the influence of the ruling class),
sectarian prejudice (particularly when the historians or narrators were aligned with the state), and
the desire to translate the underlying meaning, rather than the original words verbatim.
Other criticisms made of hadith include:
that the primary tool of orthodox ʻilm al-ḥadīth (Hadith studies) to verify the authenticity of hadith is the hadith's isnad (chain) of transmitters. But in the oldest collections of hadith (which have had less opportunity to be corrupted by faulty memory or manipulation) isnad are "rudimentary", while the isnads found in later "classical" collections of hadith are usually "perfect".
That whatever the motive, there are indisputable contradictions in hadith, meaning some sahih hadith must be wrong.
That hadith are a major source of Islamic law that involve the honor, property and lives of Muslims, and that although sahih hadith are defined as "authentic"—rated above hasan (good) and daif (weak) hadith—this class of hadith do not provide "certainty of knowledge" needed for law making. Mutawatir hadith (meaning reports from "a large number of narrators whose agreement upon a lie is inconceivable") do meet that criterion, but their extreme scarcity limits their use in development of Islamic law.
Some Western academics have also been critical of the "revisionist" approach as a whole, for instance Harald Motzki, who according to Jonathan Brown demonstrates "convincingly" that studies of early hadith and law by Joseph Schacht and the late G. H. A. Juynboll "used only a small and selective body of sources", "based on sceptical assumptions which, taken together, often asked the reader to believe a set of coincidences far more unlikely than the possibility that a hadith might actually date from the genesis of the Islamic community."
According to M.O. Farooq, despite the widespread belief that sahih hadith are authentic hadith and thus provides "certainty of knowledge" of what Muhammad said, in fact it is only the much rarer subset of sahih — mutawatir hadith—that provide certain knowledge. Mutawatir means the report "of a large number of narrators whose agreement upon a lie is inconceivable. This condition must be met in the entire chain from the origin of the report to the very end."
However, according to Wael Hallaq, "the bulk of hadith with which the traditionists dealt, and on the basis of which the Jurists derived the law" were known as ahad—i.e. non-mutawatir hadith; Hadith without "textually identical channels of transmission which are sufficiently numerous as to preclude any possibility of collaboration on a forgery" Jurists disagreed on how many channels of transmission there had to be for a hadith to be mutawatir.
According to Daniel Brown questioning the authenticity of the Hadith goes back to the time of Al-Shafii when a group known as Ahl al-Kalam, who argued that "first and foremost" the Prophetic example "has to be found … in following the Qur'an", rather than hadith. Later, a similar group, the Mu'tazilites, also viewed the transmission of the Prophetic sunnah as not sufficiently reliable. The Hadith, according to them, was mere guesswork and conjecture, while the Quran was complete and perfect, and did not require the Hadith or any other book to supplement or complement it."
According to Racha El Omari, early Mutazilites believed that hadith were susceptible to "abuse as a polemical ideological tool"; that the matn (content) of the hadith—not just the isnad—ought to be scrutinized for doctrine and clarity; that hadith "supported by some form of tawātur", i.e. by a large number of isnād strands, each beginning with a different Companion, were valid.
In writing about mutawatir (transmitted via numerous chains of narrators) and ahad (any hadith that is not mutawatir) and its importance from the legal theoretician's point of view, Wael Hallaq notes the medieval scholar Al-Nawawi argued that any non-mutawatir hadith is only probable and cannot reach the level of certainty that a mutawatir hadith can. However scholars like Ibn al-Salah (d. 1245 CE), al-Ansari (d. 1707 CE), and Ibn 'Abd al-Shakur (d. 1810 CE) found "no more than eight or nine" hadiths that fell into the mutawatir category
Later, in nineteenth century British Raj in India, Syed Ahmed Khan "questioned the historicity and authenticity of many, if not most, traditions, much as the noted scholars Ignaz Goldziher and Joseph Schacht would later do." His student, Chiragh Ali, went further, suggesting nearly all the Hadith were fabrications. Allama Muhammad Iqbal argued that the hadith should be taken contextually and circumstantially. Ghulam Ahmed Pervez asks why, if hadith were divine revelation (wahy), were they "neither written down, nor memorized, nor systematically collected or preserved", as Muhammad and/or his immediate followers made sure the Quran was. While Pervez outrightly rejected the hadith, Javed Ahmed Ghamidi uses isnad (based on biographical account from much later centuries) to doubt narrators in a selective manner to reject a wide majority of the hadith literature.
At the turn of the twentieth century, Muhammad Tawfiq Sidqi (d. 1920) of Egypt wrote an article titled 'al-Islam huwa ul-Qur'an Wahdahu' ('Islam is the Qur'an Alone) that appeared in the Egyptian journal al-Manar, which argues that the Quran is sufficient as guidance: "what is obligatory for man does not go beyond God's Book. … If anything other than the Qur'an had been necessary for religion," Sidqi notes, "the Prophet would have commanded its registration in writing, and God would have guaranteed its preservation." Muhammad Tawfiq Sidqi "held that nothing of the Hadith was recorded until after enough time had elapsed to allow the infiltration of numerous absurd or corrupt traditions."
According to Jonathan A.C. Brown, "by far the most influential Modernist critique" of Sunni hadith tradition comes from Mahmoud Abu Rayya of Egypt. Abu Rayya wrote Lights on the Muhammadan Sunna (Adwa` `ala al-Sunna al-Muhammadiyya) which argued that the basis of Islam was intended to be only "the Quran, reason and unquestionably reliable mutawatir accounts of the Prophet's legacy". In particular Abu Rayya undermined the credibility of "the single most prolific" transmitter of hadiths from among the Companions, one Abu Hurairah. Abu Rayya used reports of transmitter criticism to characterize Abu Hurayra as a "dishonest opportunist". Having joined the Muslim community only three years before the Prophet's death, it is highly unlikely he heard the thousands of hadiths he claimed to transmitted, nor did he learn the details of ritual and law to avoid mangling the meanings of hadiths on these issues he reported. Abu Hurayra was also known to be obsessed with isr'iliyyat, i.e. tales from Jewish lore about earlier prophets.
According to author Israr Ahmed Khan, traditional methods used to establish authenticity of hadith rely almost entirely on the personal characters of the reported narrators, and fail to pay enough attention to the actual content of the hadith being evaluated. Among the problems he sees in the traditional hadith analysis are: the inability of some narrators to maintain preciseness of the report, textual conflicts among reports, ignoring textual analysis when the hadith was reported by a narrator of good character, and probability of fabrication of hadith.
Also throwing doubt on the doctrine that common use of hadith of Muhammad goes back to the generations immediately following the death of the prophet is historian Robert G. Hoyland, who quotes acolytes of two of the earliest Islamic scholars:
"I spent a year sitting with Abdullah ibn Umar (d.693, son of the second Caliph, who is said to be the second most prolific narrator of ahadith, with a total of 2,630 narrations) and I did not hear him transmit anything from the prophet";
"I never heard Jabir ibn Zayd (d. ca. 720) say 'the prophet said …' and yet the young men round here are saying it twenty times an hour".
Isnads
According to G.H.A. Juynboll, "the institution of the isnad came into existence roughly three quarters of a century after the prophet's death" and before that hadith and "qisas (mostly legendary stories) were transmitted in a haphazard fashion if at all, and mostly anonymously. Since the isnad came into being, names of older authorities were supplied where the new isnad precepts required such. Often the names of well-known historical personalities were chosen but more often the names of fictitious persons were offered to fill the names in isnads which were as yet far from perfect. …"
Patricia Crone agrees, noting that early traditionalists were still developing the practice of detailing chains of narration (isnads) of their hadith that by later standards were sketchy/deficient, even though these early scholars were closer to the historical material. Later hadith possessed seemingly impeccable isnad, but were more likely to be fabricated. She argues it is not possible to narrow down a "core" of authentic hadith because we do not know when the fabrication of them started.
Bukhari [d.870] is said to have examined a total of 600,000 traditions attributed to the Prophet; he preserved some 7000 (including repetitions), or in other words dismissed some 593,000 as inauthentic. If Ibn Hanbal [d.855] examined a similar number of traditions, he must have rejected about 570,000, his collection containing some 30,000 (again including repetitions). Of Ibn Hanbal's traditions 1,710 (including repetitions) are transmitted by the companion Ibn Abbas [d.687]. Yet less than fifty years earlier one scholar had estimated that Ibn Abbas had only heard nine traditions from the Prophet, while another thought that the correct figure might be ten. If Ibn Abbas had heard ten traditions from the Prophet in the years around 800, but over a thousand by about 850 CE, how many had he heard in 700 or 632? Even if we accept that ten of Ibn Abbas' traditions are authentic, how do we identify them in the pool of 1,710? It is in this context that some scholars argue that the hadith have to be understood in the light of the historical accounts and contexts, not in an ahistorical and acontextual manner.
Joseph Schacht states that the "whole technical criticism of traditions … is mainly based on criticism of isnads", which he (and others) believe to be ineffective in eliminating fraudulent hadith. as they were subject to "growth, back-formation, and lateral spread" over decades.
Isnad and not Matn
If critics found fault with the traditionists examination of isnads, they were even less complementary of their evaluation (or failure to) of matn — i.e. the substance of the hadith, what the Prophet did/said/approved of.
Critics argue that a serious weakness of the study of hadith by classical Muslim scholars was that the gist/matn of the hadith could not be examined for "making sense, being logical", as the matn were considered "the substance of divine revelation and therefore not susceptible of any form of legal or historical criticism". N.L. Coulson "points out that, although the Muslim scholars were aware of the possibility of Hadith forgeries, their test for authenticity was confined to a careful examination of the chain of transmitters who narrated the report. 'Provided the chain was uninterrupted and its individual links deemed trustworthy persons, the Hadith was accepted as binding law. There could, by the terms of the religious faith itself, be no questioning of the content of the report: for this was the substance of divine revelation and therefore not susceptible of any form of legal or historical criticism.
Schacht quotes Shafi'i asserting that hadith from the Prophet have to be accepted without questioning and reasoning: `If a tradition is authenticated as coming from the Prophet, we have to resign ourselves to it, and your talk and the talk of others about why and how, is a mistake …"
Goldziher also casts aspersions on isnads, saying, "judgement of the value of the contents depends on the judgement of the correctness of the isnad. … Muslim critics have no feeling for even the crudest anachronisms provide that the isnad is correct … Traditions are only investigated in respect of their outward form".
European and non-Muslim scholars deemed this traditional type of critique inadequate. The Hadith was to be tested by its content and by the place its terms occupied in the development of legal though and institutions …'"
Another criticism of isnads was of the efficacy of the traditional Hadith studies field known as biographical evaluations (ʿilm al-rijāl) — evaluating the moral and mental capacity of transmitters/narrators. John Wansbrough argues that the isnads should not be accepted, because of their "internal contradiction, anonymity, and arbitrary nature": specifically the lack of any information about many of the transmitters of the hadith other than found in these biographical evaluations, thus putting into question whether they are "pseudohistorical projections", i.e. names made up by later transmitters.

A significant driver of change in the world of work today is the near-daily evolution of technology.
A clear example is the high adoption of the cloud, where data is no longer locked to a single place but accessible anywhere, anytime. This empowers organizations and teams to share, collaborate, grow their knowledge, and execute with speed.
Before the expansion of the cloud, most companies were structured in silos — making it difficult for them to access information on customers or even their own employees, whose data may exist across multiple systems. Although many organizations are still limited by such an infrastructure, a growing number are leveraging cloud technologies to upgrade their CRM and ERP systems.
As a result of improved integration and greater visibility, employers are better able to align their workforce and, for instance, organize teams by customers or by products.
1. enable collaboration: The cloud enables professionals to access data anywhere they are, removing silos and walls. Ensure your organization is technically equipped to support collaboration and new and emerging flexible modes of work.
2. seek business process efficiency: Cloud-based collaboration and technology have the potential to improve any business process. Have you reviewed where it can impact your business inputs and outputs?
3. revolutionize collaboration across time zones and functional boundaries: Collaborating in the cloud is a great way to share work with colleagues anywhere around the world. Look for opportunities to create cross-border and cross-functional teams to accelerate creativity and innovation in solving business challenges or creating new products and services.
4. drive employee and customer engagement: Investing in the right suite of cloud technologies transforms faceless phone conversations into co-creation in a dynamic online environment — positively impacting interaction, collaboration and engagement, while saving time and travel costs.
5. secure the access: Corporate data security should be a top priority in your cloud strategy. After a string of well-publicized hacks around the world, it's better to put the right measures in place to manage data security and educate your teams on company policies and practices.

Митридати́т — минерал, водный фосфат железа и кальция. Впервые обнаружен в Крыму, на горе Митридат, чем и обусловлено его название.

Открытие
В 1910 году в ходе геологических исследований в Крыму, в районе горы Митридат учёным-геологом С. П. Поповым был открыт и впервые описан без названия минерал, получивший в 1914 году название по имени горы — митридатит. Название «митридатит» было предложено П. А. Двойченко для светло-зелёного землистого минерала после того, как он был детально изучен, вследствие чего были получены показания, что он является самостоятельным минеральным видом.

Митридатит из Керченских железорудных месторождений входит в коллекцию основного фонда Минералогического музея им. А. Е. Ферсмана и коллекцию минералов Севастопольского Музея камня

Описание
В породах находится в виде прожилков — землистых или плотных агрегатов неправильной формы. Мощность прожилков от пяти сантиметров и до десятков метров (по простиранию). Может развиваться псевдоморфно, пропитывать основные скопления руды, выступать в виде оболочки на поверхности оолитов. Как продукт кристаллизации из растворов (в виде сферолитовых корок с почковидной поверхностью) встречается реже.

Происхождение
Минерал был найден в окисленных рудных пластах месторождения на мысе Камыш-Бурун (выведен из эксплуатации) и в природных обнажениях на Яныш-Такильском месторождении (побережье Керченского пролива) вместе с другими минералами на Керченском полуострове. Самые известные — митридатит, керченит, боспорит и алуштит — были впервые в мире обнаружены в Крыму, поэтому названы по имени места первой находки.

Железные руды Керченского полуострова были образованы на стадии эпигенеза, в процессе перераспределения вещества в породе. В ходе дальнейшего преобразования минералов в зоне окисления железных руд образовывались минералы по типу анапаита, митридатита, вивианита и другим.

Происхождение осадочное либо гидротермальное. Осадочный митридатит встречается среди лимонита в оолитовых железных рудах в ассоциациях с вивианитом и анапаитом, образует псевдоморфозы по анапаиту; гидротермальный — как поздний минерал в пегматитах (продукт изменения минерала трифилина) и в кварцевых жилах.

Свойства
Минерал растворим в горячих кислотах. Кроме научного, практического значения минерал не имеет .

Knabstrupper Horses, also known as Knabstrup or Tiger Horses, are a Danish breed of horse with an unusual range of coat coloration, often with tiger-like stripes.
In 1812 Villars Lunn, owner of the manor house Knabstrupgaard, bought from a butcher named Flaebe. Probably the mare was of Spanish origin, but it looked very much like an English hunter type. The butcher had bought the mare from a Spanish officer, stationed in Denmark during the Napoleon wars.
The unusual color of the Flaebe mare was memorable. She was dark red with a white mane and tale, covered with small white snowflakes on her body, and brown spots on her blanket.
There has been a lot of guessing about the origin of the Flaebe mare, but a possible theory is, that she descends from Meklenbourg in Germany, where the Spanish were stationed before they came to Denmark.
Horses at the Knabstrup stud farm were bred for strength and hard work. The Flaebe mare stood out for her strength and stama. As an example in 1816, the Titular councillor of state V. Lunn was run over by a carriage and his leg was broken. In a hurry a farmhand took a two horse team, the Flabe mare and one other. He rode to Holbaek, found that the doctor wasn't home, from there to Buttrup vicarage, where he did find a doctor, and then again, back to Knabstrup. The team rode at least 30 km in 105 minutes. One horse was damaged for life; but the very next day the Flaebe mare was back in the fields to work. At that time she was 15 years old.
The Flaebe mare became the breed mother of the Knabstrup horses. All of her progenies had fantastic colors, and she never delevered a one colored foal. She was once covered by a yellow Frederiksborg stallion, and their foal was a colt, named The Flaebestallion, and he bacame the foundation for the new spotted breed. The Flaebestallion had a very unusual colour as well and was often mentioned as having more than 20 different colours with a special metalshining glow.
Another colt of the Flaebe mare was Mikkel, born 1818. He was son of his halfbrother the Flaebestallion, and was famous for his results in horseracing. These races were seen by many people, and gave the Knabstrup horse the reputation of being a powerful and a great working capacity. Mikkel is probably the most famous horse in the Knabstrup breed.
Knabstrup horses were known for their high spirit and energetic action yet they were not temperamental. They showed no signs of being malicious, and never had vices like cribbing and wind swallowing. The fact that they were never put into stalls, but mostly left outside, accounts for their ruggedness. Knabstrup horses also are abile to live to a very old age.
Danish officers often used Knabstrup horses as mounts during the war 1848-1850. (Schleswig war), but unfortunately, because of their eye-catching colour, they made good targets for the enemy. In the Battle of Isted, 1850, two officers rode bright colored Knabstrup horses, and they both got shot. Colonel Laessoee's horse, a colourful mare Nathalie, escaped unharmed as the colonel was shot, and in the years to come, she went on to raise offspring. One foal was named Laessoee after the fallen Colonel.
The other officer, general Schleppegral, had once used Mikkel as his personal riding horse. During the Battle of Isted he rode one of the Mikkel horses, and was also shot during the fighting. The stallion ran off and disappeared. All efforts of the Danish Army to find the valuable horse were in vain.
Unknown to the army, several farmers in the hills of Skovby, caught the red spotted stallion, and kept him hidden till the end of the war. Knowing his value, they kept their lips sealed, but used him as a sire. The resulting horses were named them Schnapegral-peerd horses and became separated from the original Knabstrup breed, and were greatly sought after by farmers in the area. Much to their advantage, the stallions had fine carriage, peculiar coloring, and lovely appearance. As late as 1910, a local was using a direct descendent of the earlier hidden Stallion.
Unfortunately during the 1870s, the Knabstrup horses were too closely line bred for many generations. The resulting inbreeding caused great difficulties in retaining color and quality, and their quality began to regress. Plus unfortunately in 1891, 22 Knabstrup horses was killed during a fire. The combination of the inbreeding and the killed horses resulted in a decline in the popularity and number of Knabstrup horses.
Though the horses of the Knabstrup stables met their downfall, they left behind a great influence on horse breeding in Denmark. And over time breeders began outcrossing to horses of Knabstrup parentage, and a new strain of spotted horses was fostered. They are still known as Knabstrup horses, and today they are popular again.
Knabstruppers today are bred in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Netherland, United Kingdom, USA, and, most recently, Czech Republic, Australia and New Zealand.

Annie Lennox Confirms The Release Of New Album 'Nostalgia'
Sandro Takke | August 24, 2014 | News, Release | No Comments
One of the most successful and talented artists in pop music history is back – and back like you've never heard her before.
On October 27th 2014, Annie Lennox releases her seventh solo album. Nostalgia is a collection of the iconic singer's impassioned takes on standards primarily from the 1930s and 1940s, many of them popularized by the likes of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Jo Stafford and Louis Armstrong.
Nostalgia is the result of hours Lennox spent perusing vintage recordings and video performances of songs from the Great American Songbook, particularly those rooted in the blues. "I was just curious," says the songwriter and singer of Summertime, I Put a Spell On You and Strange Fruit and other, less-widely known songs such Mood Indigo and September in the Rain, "I thought, 'I wonder what my voice would be like. Would these songs suit my voice?' It was like a little challenge. I just sort of got to know them, became friends with them really and had a great deal of joy in the process."
The music on the album was mostly played by Annie alongside her long-time collaborator and co-producer, Mike Stevens and was recorded in his West London studio. Finding Lennox at her most soulful, Nostalgia brings levels of depth and warmth to songs that primarily originated from the civil-rights era.
Nostalgia will be released by Island Records in the UK and internationally, and by Blue Note Recordings in the US.

During summer vacation, most kids demand their parents to take them to water parks. Thanks to the water parks in Delhi. They provide the excellent spot for kids to spend hot summer days. Kids generally love spending time around the water.
Kids love water rides. They are little children and so they do not know the risk associated with swimming pools. Particularly, when many children play around the swimming pool, little kids will also be motivated to go and play with them. So, parents taking little kids to the water parks in Delhi should be highly careful about the safety of the little ones.
In general, kids who are able to just walk get down the hands of their mom or dad to go near the pool to play with the kids there. But, the parents should be highly careful when they let down the kid. He should not run and he can walk around slowly. If the kid is a four or five-year kid, he can understand the instructions from parents carefully. So, parents should be careful not to permit the kid to run around the pool.
Another crucial safety measure when your kid goes near the swimming pool is actually not to permit him near the pool alone. He can quickly get into the pool when your eyes are away from him. So, do not let the kid alone. Even when you are near him have a close watch. When you permit your kid to swim, you should always keep him at your arm's reach. Even, if your kid is a strong swimmer, if he is under 5, please keep him at your arm's reach.
If your kid is under 3, he might consume a lot of water when he is taken to the water. So, be careful that he does not dip into the water. You can just allow him into the water only with a swimming floatation ball or a life jacket.
Nothing to worry if your child is a toddler. Still, you can teach him the safety basics. For instance, you can teach him rules like not to run near the pool. You can also teach him not to go near the water without an adult.
In general, you will be given a set of safety rules to follow when you are into a water park with kids. To make sure that your kid will remain safe, you should follow the rules specified in the safety rules list.
When you take your kid near the pool make sure that you do not take any glass-made utensils or bottles. There are chances of them breaking and this can hurt. So, to stay safe near the pool, it is better to avoid any glass-made things near the pool.
Most water parks provide the safety gear to swimmers. It is better to make sure that the safety gear is used. Insist your child wear the safety gear, such that you rest assured of the safety of your little one.
When you take more than a single kid or when your child plays along with many children in the pool in the water park, instruct the kids not to push each other. Some kids might be good at swimming, but some of them might not know swimming. So, it is better to avoid pushing and pulling near the pool.
Above all, remember not to use an electronic device near the pool. Otherwise, there are chances of electrocuting yourself. You should not permit the kid to use any such device near the pool. Also, it is better to check whether the temperature in the water is normal. If the water is cold, it can shock you.

Concep's easy-to-use marketing technology and in-depth knowledge of how professional and financial services firms operate create a powerful B2B digital marketing solution. Integrated digital communications and actionable insights mean marketing and sales teams can work more effectively leaving more time to be strategic.

Concep have utilised the dynamics platform really well. They have built very useful dashboards for event management and campaign tracking. This drastically reduces the amount of time spent on basic administration.
We wanted a faster, easier to use and more cost-effective solution. The biggest problem we faced with our old system is that it did not sync with our CRM or any other databases, we had to rely on stand-alone systems and the manual work that comes with that. We were looking for something that could tie into our other systems so that all our information could be centralised - something that would cut down our manual labour and would work in the digital age.
By partnering with Concep, we effectively leverage our thought- leadership position, target content more accurately, and allow our clients better access to our extensive research and resources.


A seminar entitled "Renewable Energy Technology: An Overview", was organized by IEEE AIUB Student Branch. The seminar was hosted by Mr. Sayedus Salehin, lecturer, EEE Department. The seminar began with a speech by Prof. Dr. A.B.M. Siddique Hossain, Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Prof. M. A. Quaiyum, Registrar, giving an excellent introduction to the seminar and an overview of the scene. The guest speaker of the seminar was Prof. Dr. AKM Sadrul Islam, Professor, Department of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering (MCE), and the Head of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department in Islamic University of Technology (IUT). The speaker expressed his views on the prospects of renewable energy in the light of presentation that was made and his experience in the field of energy. He stressed the need to promote the renewable energy sector for energy security and sustainable development. He also emphasized how we need innovative technology like Hydropower, Tidal Power and Geothermal Energy to solve our long-term energy problems. He introduced of the Global Warming – both its causes and effects and the long-term objective of reducing global green-house gas emissions. Amongst many technologies in these initiatives, the speaker focused his message on Photovoltaics, Biomass and Biogas. He accentuated how new types of photovoltaic materials and technologies have the potential to reduce the cost of photovoltaic panels. He also talked about Biomass and Biogas generation in Bangladesh and also emphasized how sustainability was the key consideration in the biomass energy development. He used his presentation to describe the present scenario of energy consumption in Bangladesh and its future prospects. One particular thing that emerged from the seminar was the need to highlight the inconsistencies in funding between the established energy producing sectors and the new renewable energies.
