Millions of people around the world will be tuning in on their TVs, radios, computers and smartphones this weekend as the 2017/18 season of the Premier League kicks off. There's every reason to be excited.
England's top football league may not be the best in the world, if the recent European dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona is anything to go by. It is unquestionably the most competitive and least predictable, though, and that makes it the most exciting.
Footy fans have plenty to look forward to this year, with as many as six teams in with a realistic title shout and plenty of the smaller clubs spending big. There have been some massive player transfers (Lukaku, Morata, Lacazette, Bernardo Silva, Salah), and in Newcastle United one of the best supported clubs in the country has been added to the roster.
To mark kick off, then, we thought we'd round up some excellent mobile footy games to tide you over for the next few tantalising days.
Alternatively, you may be dreading the return of football after several blissful months off. Don't worry. We've got some games to keep you occupied too.
Where better to start than with the deepest, most detailed football game on mobile? Football Manager Touch 2017 has so much going on, a decent tablet is mandatory.
If you want to make like Mourinho or prepare like Pep ahead of the new season, there's no better game to load up on your iPad or Android tablet than Football Manager Touch 2017.
If Football Manager takes the perspective of the all-powerful modern manager, then New Star Soccer zooms right in to the player's perspective.
You take control of a single fledgling star, intervening in key moments of each match (shots, passes, tackles) and managing their off-pitch activities to boot.
The two games we've mentioned so far have been pretty involved, multi-faceted affairs. Flick Kick Football is neither of those things.
It's all about scoring lots of goals by swiping through the ball with your finger, applying judicious spin to get around the game's cardboard cutout defences.
Retro Soccer has more in common with pre-Premier League footy games like Sensible Soccer than it does with the likes of FIFA and PES. It's a charmingly frenetic top-down kick-about.
That being said, it ditches virtual controls in favour of a far more progressive tap and swipe system, so it's very much down with the kids.
Pixel Cup Soccer 16 doesn't care a jot about the finer technicalities of FIFA and PES. It looks a little confused at the very mention of trick sticks and player stats and thinks licenses are a waste of money.
It is a pure-bred side-on arcade football game with a virtual stick and two buttons. It's essentially a highlights package with all the goals and crunching tackles and none of the nonsense in between.
Soccer Physics only has a passing resemblance to the game of football, but that doesn't matter. It's an absolute riot of deliberately clumsy, physics-powered multiplayer action.
Try scoring more goals than your opponent with just a single button and a pair of jumping, tottering buffoons for players.
Here's another football-not-football game with single-button controls. This time, though, there are at least two proper teams and an actual attempt at passing and shooting.
It's just that there are also novelty pitches and assorted ball types and explosions, while dangerous tackles are positively mandatory.

Frank DeFilippo: The People's House and a Really Big Deal
Maryland Government House
The following is adapted from my unpublished manuscript, Shiksa: The Rise and Fall of Marvin Mandel.
Whee, the people, have heard very little from the Hogans about the governor's mansion, which is a good thing. Only recently they mentioned that the Big House would be open to the public, briefly, this past Saturday – a holiday tradition reborn.
And before that, there was a passing mention about the installation of a special appliance or two to accommodate the first lady's heritage culinary tastes. And that's about it.
The O'Malleys and the Erhlichs were reticent about their palatial lives, too. Each in their own way, they used the mansion smartly as a political tool, mainly as an encouraging setting for fundraising.
The Ehrlichs, Gov. and Mrs. Robert L. Jr., however, made a big deal of restoring the public rooms of the Georgian mansion to its period-piece authenticity. And at his inauguration, Ehrlich made a cringe-worthy jock-ish remark about having auditioned the bedding.
This time of year, however, the 54-room Big House in the gated circle in Annapolis becomes, if custom is followed, a decorator's showcase, the centerpiece of official Maryland's festivus and a winter showstopper for all who pass by. After all, it's the people's house.
But subtly and measured taste weren't always watchwords involving the mansion.
If the state yachts were Gov. Marvin Mandel's playthings, the mansion was Barbara Bootsie Mandel's defense mechanism. She was so convinced that the official residence belonged to the people of Maryland that for six months she defiantly refused to surrender the mansion to her husband, Marvin, and her successor as chatelaine, Jeanne Blackistone Dorsey.
For over the years, the mansion has become the center of disputes as well as a metaphor for power. When Gov. William Donald Schaefer installed Maryland's First Friend, Hilda Mae Snoops, as official hostess of Government House – oops, excuse the slip – the governor's mansion, the first thing she did was to proclaim that the mansion "belongs to the people of Maryland."
Patricia Hughes, wife of former Gov. Harry R. Hughes, a few years earlier, haughtily dismissed the décor of the Mandel-Lee years as "tacky" and rechristened the mansion as "Government House" with the proclamation that it "belongs to the people of Maryland."
Jeanne Blackistone Dorsey Mandel, attempting to ease her entry into public life after years of rumors and romance in the shadows, announced to a reporter only hours after her hasty wedding to the governor that the "mansion belongs to the people of Maryland."
Barbara Bootsie Mandel was so convinced that the residence belonged to the people of Maryland that she barricaded herself within its walls and refused to leave. Mandel complained then that the people of Maryland provide a residence for the governor and not necessarily for his spouse. To prove the point, he even had the law researched and the findings leaked to Bootsie.
Only Mimi Lee, who was installed briefly as interim first lady, truly believed that the Georgian mansion belongs to the people of Maryland. As far as she was concerned, they could have it, do anything they pleased with it except make her live in it.
Mimi Lee refused to have any identification with the mansion. She preferred the privacy and the easy comfort of the rambling Lee estate in Silver Spring. Mimi Lee spent most of her time wearing Sonny's Surplus fatigues and teaching canoeing and swimming to Girl Scouts in Montgomery County instead of skulking the mansion's cavernous rooms as a lonely prisoner in a long dress.
When Pat Hughes moved in, her instant assessment was "tacky."
When Jeanne Dorsey, still unmarried to Mandel, moved into the mansion on the same day in December 1973 that Bootsie moved out, Marvin Mandel confided that Jeanne had spent hours "tearing the place apart and rearranging it."
When Bootsie moved in, she said the mansion was run down and neglected. A real shonda. Even worse, the immediate past occupant, Spiro T. Agnew, had made off with the mansion bank account and all of the crystal except for several jelly glasses. Agnew also removed all of the wine from the cellar bins except one bottle of Manischewitz, perhaps his middlebrow idea of an ethnic joke.
Bootsie busied herself organizing the house to her taste. She ordered a new supply of matchbooks embossed in gold with the state seal and the words "Governor's Mansion."
"Government House sounds too much like a prison," she said, even though that's what the nameplate on the front gate read.
As a matter of record and observation, no one recalls a word, either pro or con, about the mansion from the mouths of Judy Agnew or Avalynne Tawes or Honolulu McKeldin. They were simple homebodies and happy wives who cared nothing about politics or attention and who had no need to use the mansion for other reasons.
Comes now Schaefer and friend who had just been given new authority over the mansion and one million freshly approved dollars to re-do what Pat and Harry Hughes spent $3 million and eight years doing, which won a picture spread in Architectural Digest.
The General Assembly had approved legislation that would transfer custody of the mansion's public rooms from the Maryland Historical Society to a Governor's Mansion Trust. And even before the changes and the budget were approved, Schaefer had ordered a $45,000 oriental carpet for the mansion's grand foyer.
One of the first things Schaefer did upon taking office in January 1987, was to complain that Hughes had left the mansion's household budget depleted. Schaefer was forced to secure an advance from the budget department to pay for his inaugural dinner. It was later discovered that Pat and Harry Hughes, just before turning the government of Maryland over to Schaefer, had used the remaining $6,000 in the mansion bank account to pay for alterations to their personal wardrobes.
There was ugly talk, too, that Harry and Pat Hughes had allowed many of the mansion's one-of-a-kind pieces to be auctioned off as a way of raising money to buy furniture that fit the historic demands of the new period theme. No inventory or records exist.
During the 1987 session, a House of Delegates subcommittee toured the mansion and reported that it was in serious disrepair, especially the areas where the Hughes' puppy was allowed to roam freely without benefit of paper training.
The persnickety Schaefer and Ms. Snoops were especially critical of the so-called Billy Baldwin room, done in the overstuffed style of the Maryland-born interior designer. To show their displeasure and disdain, they dismantled the room, put its contents in storage in the mansion basement and replaced them with electric trains at Christmastime.
During another holiday season, the room was used for an Easter egg hunt. The final tribute to Schaefer's dubious taste was the Hilda Mae Snoops fountain that he had designed and installed on the mansion lawn. Schaefer, to be charitable, was Maryland's king of kitsch.
Gov. Parris Glendening, Schaefer's successor, later had the gurgling fountain turned off as a rebuke to Schaefer, in his new role as comptroller, who, in turn, leaked to the press Annapolis' worst-kept secret, Glendening's sideline romance with a much younger staff aide, whom he later married in what Shakespeare called a "plight troth," after jettisoning his wife. The emergency wedding ceremony, of course, took place in the peoples' house.
'Look how much I've done for the mansion'
So why is the Governor's Mansion or Government House or the Regal Residence or whatever it's called, no longer just a big house but a very big deal? The imposing piece of brick real estate, encircled in its own fenced-in plot of grass across the street from the State House, is more than a tax-supported roof over the governor's head. It has become a cornerstone of Maryland's peculiar system of politics.
Government and politics is no 9-to-5 job. So the mansion provides convenient busy work for the resident first lady who, for the most part, is left husbandless – or friendless – to amuse herself for long and lonely hours of the day and night. Bootsie liked to say, "Look how much I've done for the mansion." And she had.
Jeanne devoted as much of her puttering time to the mansion's lawns and flower beds as she did to the interior of the house. A miracle of flowers took place with every change of season or bloom, all freshly installed, in full blossom, by agronomists from the state's division of Buildings and Grounds at the expense of the budget of the Department of General Services. Another example of Jeanne's handicraft involved ordering the walls of the mansion's master bathroom covered with floor-to-ceiling mirrors. After all, the mansion belongs to the people of Maryland.
Jeanne's indoor extravagance was reserved for the Christmas holidays, when commercial decorators were brought in to transform the mansion into a showcase for the ornament industry. The mansion belongs to the people of Maryland, and they had a chance to witness Jeanne's holiday handiwork by attending the New Year's Day open house, a custom that was later abandoned by the Hughes. And usually about 2,000 of the mansion's owners turned out for a look. Schaefer and Ms. Snoops appeared to share Jeanne's exuberance for Christmas decorations, not only in the mansion but in all state buildings whose occupants competed against each other with Schaefer as contest judge.
The official residence also supplies a handy public relations device that allows the first lady to put a smiley face on the family album. The merest whiff of rumor or gossip about the private difficulties of Maryland's foremost public figures will produce the stock story about the governor's mansion and Maryland's First Decorator. It's a human trumpet's way of blaring to the world that all's well in the Faerie Kingdom hard by the Bay in Crabtown, USA.
When Bootsie saw the mansion walls crumbling around her, she responded in the only way she could. She intensified activity in the big house, a frenzied rearguard action calculated to show that she was still its occupant and the governor was still by her side.
She ordered the printing of a mansion brochure that incorporated a picture of her and Governor Mandel. She increased the number of public tours from one to three afternoons a week. She inveigled a female television reporter to produce a half hour television documentary of her conducting a tour of the house and elaborating on points and objects of artistic and historic interest. The television show ended with the assignment of ownership, "The mansion belongs to the people of Maryland."
Bootsie instituted a gallery of First Ladies to assure that her portrait would always hang in the majestic house. It was an ironclad clause in her divorce agreement. But when Jeanne took possession, she reversed the order and sent Bootsie's portrait upstairs and out of view.
Bootsie disrupted the final day of the 1973 General Assembly session. Without the governor's knowledge, she invited the wives of legislators to a sine die reception at the mansion. Imagine. Wives in Annapolis – in the mansion yet! – on the last of 90 days, the day reserved for unwinding and farewells. The mansion, after all, belongs to the people of Maryland, not to the wives of legislators.
Just as Bootsie, and later Pat Hughes, used the mansion to reinforce her position as first lady, Jeanne used the governor's mansion to establish the fact that she was, indeed, first lady.
Jeanne used the mansion for lavish parties and continental meals of limited star ratings. She banished burgers and ketchup bottles, Mandel's favorites, from the dining table and interposed in their place Veal Oscar and Bordeaux. And the place became a political clubhouse for her friends and relatives from St. Mary's County. Mandel's sidekicks from Baltimore complained that they were no longer invited to rub elbows with the high and the mighty at the mansion.
When Mandel married Jeanne Dorsey, he didn't know an antique from an orange crate. Jeanne superimposed her tastes over those he had lived with for 30 years. Jeanne also ejected the State Police security force from its command post in the mansion's ground floor and used the space to create a love nest of wicker and fern that resembled a Tiki bar.
The 1976 National Governors Association summer meeting took place in Hershey, Pa., in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, a collective of craftsmen and woodworkers. During the meeting, Jeanne purchased so many pieces of furniture and antiques that a Maryland State Police truck had to be dispatched to ferry them back to Maryland and the mansion.
But Mandel was forced to surrender the governorship and move out of the mansion when he was sentenced to prison along with his five political pals. He was later accused by the state's attorney general, Stephen H. Sachs – who was directed by Hughes (or more precisely Pat Hughes) to conduct an investigation – of taking with him thousands of dollars worth of furniture, food, liquor and dog food that belonged to the people of Maryland. Rather than contest the charges in court, Mandel quietly settled the grievance with a check for $9,000.
Then, after all of the commotion of the Mandel years, came the unkindest cut of all. Said Pat Hughes: "When we came here in January, 1979, we recognized that a lot had to be done. Not much attention had been paid to the house."
'It's that damned mansion'
The Mandel divorce was as much a battle between one woman who wanted to move into the mansion and another who refused to move out as it was for the love of a man. As the months of Bootsie's siege of the mansion dragged on, even Mandel observed:
"It's that damned mansion. If it weren't for the mansion this thing [the divorce] would have been settled long ago."
In early England, peasants paid tribute to their sovereigns by kneeling and presenting peppercorns on Michaelmass Day. In modern Maryland, the mansion provides a convenient way for power brokers to buy into the political process. For example, the late James W. Rouse, the celebrated visionary developer, donated a $12,500 sterling silver service to the mansion while the Hughes were its occupants. (Hughes had authorized a network of roads and highways for Rouse's new town of Columbia).
And later, W. James Hindman, the founder of Jiffy Lube and a friend of Schaefer, donated a $25,000 rug to the mansion just as he was preparing to bid on a $27 million state auto emissions testing contract. Others have sought the governor's attention with hand-embroidered tablecloths and other bibelots fit for a governor and his lady.
Pat Hughes bluntly stated what her predecessors knew all along but had the grace not to mention because, after all, the mansion belongs to the people of Maryland. It is simply this: The mansion is a political weapon that can be used as leverage for or against a governor.

Father, we pray that You would put a stop to this maddening trans ideology. Keep predatory men out of women's bathrooms and away from children, Lord.
After calling out a trans "woman" who seemed to be watching girls in a locker room, Julie Jaman was banned from her local pool.
From Fox News. An 80-year-old Washington state woman was permanently banned from her local YMCA pool after demanding that a transgender employee leave the women's locker room, she told local media.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
"I saw a man in a woman's bathing suit watching maybe four or five little girls pulling down their suits in order to use the toilet," Port Townsend resident Julie Jaman recalled of the July incident to Seattle radio show host Dori Monson on Friday. "…I told that man to 'get out right now….'"
Jaman said that she was alerted to the trans employee being in the women's locker room while she was showering and "heard a man's voice."
She told Monson that she alerted a pool staffer to the incident and was stunned when the staff member told her she was "being discriminatory," and "was banned from the pool forever." The staffer also allegedly said the police would be called, according to Jaman's radio interview.
"She didn't ask me what the problem was, if I was okay, nothing about me," Jaman told Monson. "It's as if she was just waiting to pounce on me. It was just stunning…."
Jaman told Monson that she was suspended from the facility despite having "a great relationship with swimmers in the pool."
Jaman told local media that she had been a member of the pool facility for 35 years and has lived in Port Townsend for about 40 years. She has voted for Democrats during her life, she told the local outlet, and considers herself an "XX woman," referring to her chromosomes.
She added to the Port Townsend Free Press that she recoiled at being naked and showering in a room with a person born male. She added that the "momma bear in me" came out when she saw the individual near the young girls in the bathroom….
Jaman has since held a protest outside the pool facility and was joined by supporters, the Port Townsend Free Press reported. Trans activists also ran a counter-protest.

Get the laws changed. Don't vote for something you can't live with just because of your party. Pray and speak out. Throw your net on the side of righteousness and see it filled. Believe God and not be double minded.
LONI SYMMONS
The Lord tells us in 2 Corinthian 4:4 The God of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel or the glory of Christ. We pray that our God unbinds the minds of the unbelievers so they may see His Glory. We pray for strength as we fight for the protection of our children's innocence. We pray for Ms Jaman's protection and ask that you give her peace. We will keep our eyes on you, Oh Lord and trust in you always. Amen

It's not the transgender that we are complaining about ,where are the adult's and other older people they're fool's for not protecting our children, if this is what the y permits shameon you, the transgender can be what they want but we should be able to say what we want , this is violating our children what is wrong with you people and parent's

I bind the perversion of God's sexuality and loose the mama bear and papa bear anointing across the world for parents to protect their children from sexual predators. Animals have this protection in their DNA which is from God and so do we as his creation in His image. I loose the truth about sexuality across the world. There is a biblical sexuality movement rising up across the world that will change this perverted culture. Our creator created sex with boundaries and those boundaries are for our protection.
She should find out the names of the little girls and let their fathers know what she saw! I guarantee that man will never again spy on little girls when the dads get through with him! Am I advocating violence? No! Just parental protection of children! FATHER GOD please protect women and children every where from this demonic stupidity that is allowing pedophiles/trans access to our children! We decree a stop to this demonic manipulation in JESUS NAME! Amen!

Dear Lord we pray Open the Eyes of those that are so blind that cannot see evil. Reveal it to them Lord in Jesus name. And we pray for the protection of the innocent in Jesus name amen

Qaṭar: Satan's Horn vs Dajjāl's Foes
By سليمان الكندي on June 11, 2017 | 3 Comments
عن زيد بن خالد الجهني رضي الله عنه أن النبي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قال: من فطر صائماً كان له مثل أجره غير أنه لا ينقص من أجر الصائم شيئاً. رواه الترمذي
Zayd bin Khālid al-Juhānī (May Allāh be pleased with him) narrates the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, "He who gives a fasting person something to break his fast with, receives a similar reward as him, without anything being reduced from the reward of the one who fasted." [at-Tirmiẓī]
I start with this Ḥadīth. If it does not trouble you that contrary to feeding others, there are supposed Muslims who can gleefully try and blockade the food of other fasting Muslims during Ramaḍān, then indeed you are far too sophisticated for me. I respectfully ask you not to read any further and leave me to simple people who have some heart.
Firstly, I state at the outset that I am not going to be presenting some behind the scenes inside news, I do not have such news.
Secondly, I am presenting two Ḥadīths applicable to the two parties at loggerheads. These are intended to understand the parties involved in terms of their general character, nature and motivations. I do not claim for an instant that either Ḥadīth refers to the current crisis definitely or specifically.
Two Camps – Their Histories
Najd is the central part of Arabia, to the east of al-Ḥijāz, the western coastal strip which included Makkah and al-Madīnah. The House of Saʿūd is based in Najd. They first appear in history less than 6 centuries back in ad-Diriyah in Najd. The Saʿūd later relocated to their present capital, Riyāḍ, which is also in Najd.
Whilst 6 centuries may seem long, in terms of Arab lineages this is nothing and in fact presents a problem. Whilst other royal families can trace their lineages back to the tribes which were contemporary to Allāhs Messengerصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ the Saʿūdīs cannot. There are sometimes claims of Banū Ḥanīfah, sometimes of ʿAnazah but they are not conclusively proved. Where they irrefutably originated from before 6 centuries ago remains a mystery. This played into the hands of Egypt which was in conflict with the Saʿūdīs during the 1960s. Ṣawtul ʿArab radio boldly broadcast that they were not Arabs at all, but Jews. On the other hand, in other lands, the current and historical Arab kings could trace their lineage to actual Arab tribes (e.g. the Jordanian king is Ḥāshimī, Qurashī and the Rashīdīs who represented the Ottomans and fought against the Saʿūdīs are from Kindah, i.e. Kindīs). My teacher who taught in Makkah for several years mentioned that when a newspaper raised this question, the government's reaction was to angrily demand how they could even question them, rather than simply produce their family tree.
Whatever the reality, the Saʿūdīs cannot conclusively be identified with any tribe mentioned in the Ḥadīth, only a region. Since the others have a distinct tribal identity, often outside the region (e.g. the Rashīdīs as Kindīs originate from Yemen) from the other angle, the region of Najd is symbolic of the House of Saʿūd who have lived there and currently rule there. From there they spread out and contaminated the Ḥijāz.
The people of Qaṭar too are not native to their present land. Three centuries ago the tribe of Banū Tamīm left Najd for Qaṭar where they reside to this day. Although, like any other tribe, there are Tamīmīs scattered throughout the modern world, it is only in Qaṭar that they form a cohesive tribal unit ruling over an independent land. The ruling family, the Āl Thānī, is descended from Qaʿqaʿ bin ʿAmr at-Tamīmī, who fought under Khālid bin al-Walīd (may Allāh be pleased with him) at Yarmūk. (On a side note, it irks me when journalists and even scholars cannot distinguish between al (the) and āl or aal (family of). That laymen do not know that it is Sūrah Āl ʿImrān not al-ʿImrān is understandable. For the learned not to exercise their brains is another matter). In short the ʾĀl Saʿūd are identified with Najd whilst Qaṭarīs have a primary tribal identity, documented right to the era of Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , the Banū Tamīm, which can be separated from the residential or regional identity.
Two Ḥadīths
There is a Ḥadīth related to Najd. It is narrated by ʾal-ʾImām ʾal-Bukhārī under the Chapter of Fitan (tribulations before the end of the world). It speaks of the region in relation to the tribulations, not any tribe, i.e. whilst Kindah, Tamīm and many other tribes may have passed through at various stages in history, the prophecy refers to certain people who actually inhabit Najd at the time of the tribulations. If Allāh wills these tribulations to be contemporary to our times, then there can be only one candidate the Ḥadīth refers to – the ʾĀl Saʿūd. Tamīm has vacated Najd. The Ḥadīth is as follows:
حدثنا علي بن عبد الله حدثنا أزهر بن سعد عن ابن عون عن نافع عن ابن عمر قال ذكر النبي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ اللهم بارك لنا في شأمنا اللهم بارك لنا في يمننا قالوا يا رسول الله وفي نجدنا قال اللهم بارك لنا في شأمنا اللهم بارك لنا في يمننا قالوا يا رسول الله وفي نجدنا فأظنه قال في الثالثة هناك الزلازل والفتن وبها يطلع قرن الشيطان
ʿAbdullāh bin ʿUmar (may Allāh be pleased with father and son) narrates that the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ prayed, "O Allāh! Bless us in our Syria, O Allāh bless us in our Yemen."
"O Allāh's Messenger!" exclaimed [some people from Najd], "And in our Najd!"
[The Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ again] prayed, "O Allāh! Bless us in our Syria, O Allāh bless us in our Yemen."
"O Allāh's Messenger!" [they again] exclaimed, "And in our Najd!"
I [Ibn ʿUmar] think it was after the third time that he replied, "Over there will be tremors and tribulations. Over there does Satan's horn rise." [al-Bukhārī]
Syria is to the north of ʾal-Ḥijāz, while Yemen is to the south. She has no western neighbour, other than the Red Sea. Najd, to the east, was intentionally omitted from the prayer of Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . What does that tell you?
On the other hand, what does the Ḥadīth say of Banū Tamīm, i.e. the Qaṭārīs? ʿAl-Bukhārī narrates the following as well, in ʿal-Maghāzī :
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال لا أزال أحب بني تميم بعد ثلاث سمعته من رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يقولها فيهم هم أشد أمتي على الدجال وكانت فيهم سبية عند عائشة فقال أعتقيها فإنها من ولد إسماعيل وجاءت صدقاتهم فقال هذه صدقات قومي
Abū Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) states:
I have always loved the Banū Tamīm since I heard Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ saying three things about them. "They will be the severest of my nation against Dajjāl." Furthermore ʿĀishah had a captive from amongst them. So he said, "Free her, for she is from the descendants of Ismāʿīl." When their charity arrived, he said, "These are the charities of my people." [al-Bukhārī]
So there you have it. The people from where Satan's horn rises have imposed a blockade on those who will be the severest against the Anti-Christ, the descendants of ʾIsmāʿīl (peace be upon him), the people of Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Is it not Satanic for supposed Muslims to cut off the food of other Muslims during Ramaḍān of all times?
Is it not Satanic to expel Muslims, separating mixed families, father from children, husbands from wives?
Is it not Satanic to threaten 15 years imprisonment for those who express sympathy for their brethren in Qaṭār? (To be fair it is their ally, UAE)
Or are these Saʿūdī acts, sometimes I forget the difference between Satan and Saʿūd…
I have no right to impose my interpretation of Ḥadīth on others (unlike some people), you may disagree, as long you do not endanger your faith by disputing Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ himself. Yet I would dare suggest that if you are honest and look at recent history it should be clear as to who wears the badge of Satan's horn and who opposes the forces of the Anti-Christ.
Most certainly we can find fault with Qaṭārīs, as we can find in ourselves. Yet on the balance, Qaṭār is a nation which assists the poor and their shortcomings are human shortcomings, not deliberate assaults against Islām and Muslims, which their neighbours are guilty of.
The ʾUmmah has remained silent for far too long. It is close to a century now that Makkah and al-Madīnah have had to endure the Saʿūd rule initiated with the shedding of Muslim blood and the deliberate obstruction of the effort to revive the Khilāfah which the Turks had just abandoned. Also, who amongst the educated did not know that they were in the pay of the British? These should have been warning signals, but that was another generation. It may be that they had no full information and being under colonial rule, were desperate for any ruler who claimed the banner of Islām.
But that was then. Time has moved on and news is no longer the privilege of a few.
Yet the Saʿūd slavery to American interests was now known but overlooked.
The princes' spending the Ummah's wealth on gambling and prostitution was overlooked.
The utter destruction of the Islāmic heritage was overlooked.
The imprisonment and torture of opposition figures, including scholars were overlooked.
The deliberate interference amongst foreign Muslim communities in their Masājid, instead of inviting non-Muslims to Islām, was overlooked.
The deliberate ritualisation of Ḥajj and the segregation of Muslim for the first time were overlooked.
The inviting of Christian and Jewish troops to tramp on the sacred soil of Arabia was overlooked.
That not even extremist Shīʿah rulers had had the guts to disobey that final command of Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ was overlooked.
The collaboration in overthrowing the only pious ruler modern Egypt has known and was democratically elected was overlooked.
The funding of Pharaoh Mubārak and Pharaoh Sīsī to help the Zionist besiege Ghazzah was overlooked.
Thus the deaths in Ghazzah resulting from the Saʿūdī-Egyptian siege were overlooked.
Now as we approach the century mark, our leaders will overlook the assault on another Muslim people whom Allāh's Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ has praised. They are assaulted not by America or the Zionists, but by the "Custodian" of the Ḥaramayn.
Why? They do not have the same excuse as the previous generations. The reality is that Saʿūdī petrodollars and visas buy their silence. Just how much will Saʿūdī petrodollars and visas help them in their graves?
May Allāh bless Shaykh Salmān an-Nadwī, who has fearlessly denounced the Satanists err.. Saʿūdīs.
I shall not say, "Enough is enough!" That time passed by years ago. If your only concern when visiting the Ḥaramayn is which is the best perfume and clothing shops, then I can only pray that at least the Qaṭar siege will make you a more sensitised slave of Allāh.

Why I cannot support the 2 state proposal
By سليمان الكندي on August 24, 2011 | Leave a comment
This morning I was sent a link asking me to sign a petition which requests European states in particular to support the bid for a Palestinian state. My refusal to sign such a petition may make me seem to be a traitor, both on Islamic and humanitarian grounds. I therefore state for the record my views on my opposition to these petitions, the recognition bid and the "Palestinian" state as it is currently envisaged. Let me first add that I respect the sincerity of activists who genuinely believe that the 2-state proposal is a solution to the conflict and hope to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinians.
So why do I not sign?
1. For years Jews have no longer been enticed by the Zionist puppet masters to leave their birth lands and colonise Palestine. More had in fact been leaving. Throw birth rates into the scenario, and the Zionist entity realised a long time ago that Palestinians would soon reconstitute a majority. What a nightmare for them! The only solution short of an "ethnic cleansing" is to give the Palestinians their little Bantustan and keep the remaining occupied land majority Zionist. The Zionists' pretence that they are opposed to the Bantustan is just part of their usual manoeuvrings. The Apartheid Wall was part of preparation of this. These facts are well known. I don't have the time now for full references, but researchers can start here with an article from the Jerusalem Post http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?ID=196877&R=R1
2. Once the Palestinians have their own scrap of a Bantustan, the same policy which the South African Apartheid regime implemented can be done here as well i.e. expel the undesirables from the white land to the Bantustan. This has been announced by the Minster of Foreign Affairs, see http://www.roytov.com/articles/hamasprotests.htm . So is the 2 state proposal really as humanitarian as some would have us believe? Besides the human suffering that a new expulsion will cause (in whatever form it will take), who is going to stop the demolishment of Masaajid and Islamic features once those areas have been "vacated"?
3. As a South African citizen I am amazed that the same people who vehemently opposed the creation of Transkei etc, cannot see the difference with the Palestinian Bantustan.
4. Fatah is asking for less than 20% of Palestine. This automatically means recognition and legitimising the occupation of more than 80% of the sacred land. Despite what might be on paper, anyone with at least two brain cells would know that al-Masjid al-Aqsa and al-Quds proper would be included in the 80%, not the Bantustan. While the fat cat elites of Fatah might be content with this, I would hope that those who subscribe to a slightly higher moral code will not accept this.
5. Who will rule the Bantustan? Did the liberation movements rule Venda in Apartheid South Africa? Whatever your views of Hamas may be, they won the last democratic election, freely and fairly. Do I need to continue the argument here? Think!
6. As a Muslim, Palestine is inexorably linked to my faith. I cannot applaud a process which will leave a quasi-Atheistic movement in charge and de-Islamise the issue in the long term.

The brand expects some "colorful" but friendly competition between the campaigners, and encourages fans to rally behind their favorite using the hashtag #MMSFlavorVote.
"At Mars Chocolate North America, we know M&M'S would not be the brand it is today without our fans," says Tanya Berman, director, M&M'S Brand.

We've included a couple of Web Accelerator Tools in the Online Control Panel to help you incredibly easily boost the online efficiency of your websites. You won't need to change anything in the code or try to make special configurations that need tech knowledge from you. Inside the Online Control Panel, just pick the tool you want to implement – Memcached, Varnish and Node.js and set up an instance for it. It's all carried out with a click of the mouse. By accelerating your websites, you won't only prevent your site visitors from being forced to wait around but will also help your website get better positions in search engine listings.
You will find the Web Accelerator Tools inside the Advanced Resources section of the Online Control Panel.
Should you have a fast paced database–driven site or web application, it might have issues running quickly for the customers as a result of the numerous queries sent to the database. To aid you eliminate the web–page loading difficulty, we have provided the Memcached system inside the Online Control Panel.
Memcached is a strong distributed memory object caching platform, which collects information and objects in the server's RAM to prevent the data base from being asked each time a customer opens a specific web page. In this way, your website pages will start faster for visitors and definately will increase the possibility for them to come back.
There are multiple strategies to speed up a site, however, most of them need a designer to reword the program code. There are more uncomplicated tools for quickening a site, like the Varnish website accelerator application incorporated into our Online Control Panel.
Varnish is a caching HTTP reverse proxy, which stores HTTP calls in the server memory and returns them to the customer rather than waiting for the hosting server to send them. Tests show that employing Varnish on a website as well as a web application usually hastens website loading times with a factor of 300 – 1000x. Varnish can be configured how to deal with newly arriving requests – if they need to be returned by Varnish, by the web server, and so on.
If you would like develop a web app, you ought to have the tools you may need accessible to you immediately, without needing to seek out, compile and install them. Our Online Control Panel can help you save both energy and time, by supplying you with the equipment you will need right close to hand.


To unite, together as one with love in our hearts and hunger to live fully.
It's about giving, sharing, connecting in the most open and honest way.
Together for the FIRST TIME is two women that are taking the Melbourne business world and new thought leaders by storm are Colette Werden and Kiara O'Leary as they join me on stage at the next Hedonistic Jam.
An Evening Dedicated To Spoken Word To Educate, Entertain and Engage Hedonistic Inspired Leaders.
Colette Werden, is someone who I have seen just capture the hearts and minds of an entire nation and inspire thousands of people globally with her message of the power of individuality. She has grown organically into a boutique agency that self packages and brands entrepreneurs.

The thread that runs through each of us is the devotion we have to inspire others to be themselves, that we are always our own best guide and we share a view about life that honours both the light and dark, the good and bad. We never fluff over, pretend, suppress anything just because it might be "negative". We believe that those feelings need to be heard and expressed as well. And we find pleasure in that.

West Hartford mom helps those with disabilities launch micro-businesses in area stores
by: Sarah Cody
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The day began with a meaningful ribbon cutting for an entrepreneurial endeavor.
"I feel really special," said 20-year-old Sarah Kelly, who is debuting her dog-shaped soaps, now on store shelves.
It's part of her business called West Hartford Soapy Foam.
"I absolutely love dogs and I have two of my own so I thought it would be a good idea to do it for my business," said Kelly.
"It's a huge program in that it has a huge impact," added Darlene Borre, the mom of a young adult with autism.
She was inspired to partner with Futures Inc., a non-profit providing education, transition, and employment services to those with disabilities.
Borre has developed about a dozen micro-businesses with these budding entrepreneurs.
"When I work with people it's not just, 'Here, we want you to do this during the day,' it's really adding purpose to their day with something they really have a passion for," she said.
Kelly's soaps are being sold at Good Cause Gifts in downtown West Hartford, connected to Futures INC. Students are trained there and money raised supports the non-profit's mission.
"I've heard really good feedback from everyone," said Kelly.
It's a way for adults like Kelly to make connections with the community and become independent, productive, busy, and happy.
"Proud. Proud of myself for accomplishing something I've never accomplished before," noted Kelly.
Not every community has initiatives like this. Some families rely on the state for help in finding work for adults with autism.
On Thursday, News 8 will talk with a Suffield dad, proposing changes to a state program, that now has a ten-year-plus waiting list for hundreds of people.

Autumn in his coat of rain, clouds and wind has started to move in. The temperature has dropped and it's time for woollen clothes and hot cups of teas again. I always love this time of year. The changing colours, the cooler fresher air, the lovely things nature is shaking off to get ready for the winter.
A late summer arrangement from a few weeks ago with the most beautiful Cafe au lait dahlias.
And my first knitting project for this year. A gift to someone close to my heart and yet so far away. For a little winter baby.


(Olympia) A new state program allowing the private sector to conduct driver knowledge and skills testing has produced more good news for visitors to DOL offices: the shortest wait times in nearly a decade.
The new program allows driver training schools and school district driver training programs across the state to conduct driver knowledge and skills testing for new driver license applicants.
Moving those testing services outside of DOL removed some of the most time-consuming transactions at the agency's licensing service offices.
In recent months, the average statewide wait time at licensing service offices has remained steady at 10 minutes.
Driver licensing offices are currently maintaining the best wait times we've seen in eight years, despite an 11 percent increase in licensed drivers, and the closing and consolidation of several licensing offices over this time period.
Shorter wait times at those offices are also attributed to service innovations, including expanded online and mail-in options.
In 2012, nearly one-quarter of DOL's 3.4 million driver transactions were done by people who didn't step foot inside an office—by mail or Internet. In five years, that percentage has grown from 5 percent to 23 percent.
After passing the tests, customers go to a licensing office to obtain their license. Customers are still required to pay the driver license application fee to DOL. Driver training schools will set the fee they charge for the tests.
For a list of state-approved driver training schools, go to:http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/testing.html.

Our industry has a love/hate relationship with the software architect role, with many organisations dismissing it because of their negative experiences of architects that dictate from "ivory towers" and aren't engaged with the actual task of building working software. This reputation is damaging the IT industry and inhibiting project success. Things need to change. This essay looks at the gap between software developers and software architects, offering some suggestions on how to reduce this gap and ensure projects are driven to a successful conclusion.

It is 20 years next month since I started boxing, but this year is the first since 2003 that I've been to Dartmoor. I found this website by chance, have spent many happy hours reading others' experiences and thought I'd join. Posting this seems like a good place to start.
It all began in 1991, when I did the Ten Tors 35 mile route with my school. For my birthday a couple of months later, an aunt who lives in Newton Abbot gave me John Hayward and Anne Swinscow's 101 Dartmoor Letterboxes But Not How to Find Them! Five days later my dad dropped me and a friend at the Warren House Inn. It was in the cloud and with horizontal rain sheeting across the road (weather conditions I would come to recognise in time as particularly evocative of the moor). We splashed our way over the appropriately named Water Hill searching unsuccessfully as we went, through Fernworthy and up towards Whitehorse Hill. Wet and cold, we decided that we weren't going to reach Cranmere that afternoon, and that the open moor would not be a good place to camp in that weather. We followed the wall round to Sittaford Tor, planning to camp in the plantation. It stopped raining, so we had another hunt about and found our first box (One of the Country Companion boxes in a large ammunition tin). Very exciting, but it felt like meagre reward for a long day.
The next day, we trudged on to Princetown (without finding any more boxes) and by coincidence into the Tuesday Tattle at the Devil's Elbow. We were looked on with sympathy and possibly some concealed amusement by some very experienced boxers (I'm ashamed to say that I can't remember their names) and with a bit of help from them I got to my 100 later in the year (my friend never came back after that first experience). I was – inevitably – hooked, and came down during the holidays whenever I could (I lived in Bristol, then was at university in London), pestering my parents to come with me until I got a driving licence.
But my visits petered out as work intervened. I dipped back in in 2002-03 when a friend had a holiday cottage west of Tavistock, but then did not visit again until my girlfriend suggested a few days on Dartmoor when I came down to meet her family for the first time in North Devon over the last new year. I've been reminded of how wonderful Dartmoor is: bleak, inhospitable, not nearly as featureless as it looks if you pay attention, and a fantastic way to escape from the stress of the real world. I've also rediscovered the pleasure at using map and compass to solve a clue and find a cunningly concealed letterbox or stumbling upon an unexpected one. I'm hooked all over again.
Although I wouldnt say I was a prolific boxer Im just getting back into it after a very very long break, something about the moor isnt there? Good to meet you, might bump into each other one day?


Grave concern has been caused to countries in and outside the region by China's vigorous militarization of structures in the Paracel and Spratly archipelagos in the South China Sea over the past six months. Due to its location, Vietnam is the first to face threats. Counter moves by a number of other countries have rendered the situation more complicated and tense.
The Vietnam Committee for Afro-Asian-Latin America Solidarity and Cooperation held a conference to review its activities in 2017 and celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of AAPSO.

Our great grandfather Girolamo Dalle Ore bought the farm in 1903. Led by the love for his land and his great passion for the vine he was the first in the area to combine quality principles and the millennial viticulture tradition of the Lessini area. Our mission today is to work our land with the same enthusiasm and great passion of our great grandfather, combining biological agriculture and biodynamic practice.
In order to produce authentic wines we fully respect each plot of land and we don't use any chemical products; we just work on the land, keeping the output under control. Our vines are wisely cultivated, harvested with perseverance, and vinified with passion. The south exposure, geological structure of the soil, the ever-present breeze, and the ancient volcanos limitless energy are the determining natural factors that create the peculiar micro-climate of our hills. These are the same natural factors that contribute to an original and classy cru. Marco, Vittorio, and Luciano Margoni Dalle Ore are the fourth generation to follow the family in their passion for the land and wine. They made a promise to endure the traditions of the Tenuta Dalle Ore that spring up on Trissino's (VI) hills in that locality which has always been called La Bertolà.

Yale Teaching Hospital Sued For Age, Disability Discrimination By EEOC
On February 11, 2020, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNNH), accusing the university's hospital of discriminating against older doctors. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, accusing the teaching hospital of the Yale School of Medicine of violating federal anti-discrimination laws. The hospital allegedly violated federal law by adopting and implementing a discriminatory "Late Career Practitioner Policy," according to the complaint filed by EEOC officials.
Yale's Late Career Practitioner Policy.
The EEOC stated that it appeared that Yale violated federal laws by forcing physicians over age 70 to take neuropsychological and eye exams in order to gain or keep their medical staff privileges. Younger doctors were not subject to this "Late Career Practitioner Policy," the EEOC claimed.
By subjecting doctors, dentists, and podiatrists to screening evaluations based solely on their age, without regard to any particular suspicion about their mental ability or eyesight, the hospital's policy violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the EEOC alleges in its complaint. You can view the complaint in full on our website.
Additionally, the suit alleges that the policy violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which specifically prohibits subjecting employees to medical examinations that are not job-related and consistent with business necessity.
The EEOC is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief against Yale, which includes the elimination of the policy, according to its press release. Read the full statement and press released issued by the EEOC here.

Apple gets more aggressive with laptop pricing.
In a slight product update this morning, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced that it is updating the processors and prices of various MacBook models.
The entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display received a price cut of $200, bringing it to $1,499, while the higher-end version now features a 2.6 GHz processor and 256 GB of flash storage for $1,699.
Those new price points compare to the previous ones of $1,699 and $1,999, respectively, and the higher-end model previously had a slightly slower processor. The larger 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has seen both standard configurations receive processor upgrades to new quad-core chips, with no change in price.
The 13-inch MacBook Air with 256 GB of flash storage is getting a price reduction to $1,399.

Keywords:feminism; radical feminism; waves
bell hooks defined feminism simply as a movement to end sexism. Yet, scholars argue that while ending sexism and the patriarchy is at feminism's core, feminism is not a singular concept; rather, there are feminisms. Further, feminism or feminisms are as relevant in higher education today as they were when colleges and universities were nascent and only for men. Evidence of sexism manifests in the #MeToo movement, Take Back the Night marches, and Title IX investigations in the United States. It is also evidenced in more subtle ways in terms of who is called upon most to speak in classrooms, who is encouraged to consider academic leadership, and who is asked to take notes in a meeting. Feminisms, enacted through activism, remain necessary to move ...

We have a wide array of clients in many different industries, for instance — an energy company! Midwest Energy is the largest energy cooperative in Kansas. They serve over 90,000 electrical and natural gas customers across 41 counties in western Kansas. With a brand in place, they were in desperate need of a new site that could accommodate many different features and functions for their customer base, such as online payment and outage reports. They are a super nice group of people – that's what the midwest is all about!
Customer ease-of-use was KEY to putting this site together. The site is crisp, responsive and a breeze to maneuver. We've also collaborated with them on creating and developing their intranet for internal use.

Q: Azure hosted agent crystal report I am using hosted build and its failing with error, can not find the assembly crystal report. How can I use crystal report using hosted build agent?

A: While it is true that hosted agents do not come with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio installed, the COM components are not required to perform a compile. All you need to build are copies of the .NET DLLs that your application references.
One workaround is to add the DLLs you reference to the repository and do a conditional hint path to use them when they are not installed in the default location on the machine.
<Reference Include="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.3500.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
  <HintPath Condition="!Exists('$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll')">..\..\lib\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll</HintPath>

Here, the DLLs were placed in a folder named lib at the root of the repository. The !Exists condition checks whether the DLL is at the default location, and if not will switch to using the local one in the lib folder.
Alternatively, rather than checking binaries into your repository you could host them on a private NuGet feed or a MyGet feed. Do note that there are also unofficial copies of these libraries on NuGet that you could reference, but it is often not clear what version of the binaries the package authors have submitted.

A: Crystal report can not build by Hosted agent since the Hosted agent not installed Crystal reports for visual studio.
You should build the crystal report by private agent which installs the Crystal reports for visual studio.
