The Journal of the Moscow Patriarchy publishes interview with DECR secretary for interreligious relations
Version for print
4 February 2022 year 17:13
The Journal of the Moscow Patriarchy has published an interview with the secretary for interreligious relations of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate Father Dimitry Safonov, author of the monograph Saint Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and His Time. The book reveals who it was who declared Patriarch Tikhon to be the prime enemy of the Soviets, why the veneration of this saint is so much less compared to his importance to history and how the 'Church NEP' helped the faithful (no.2, 2022).
At the head of the Council of the New Martyrs
- Father Dimitry, on the icon of the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church in the very centre we very often may see Saint Tikhon of Moscow. Would it be correct to say that this saint of God stands at the head of the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors?
- Yes, that would be quite correct. He is the head of the Synaxis of the New Martyrs not only on iconographic representations, but also in our ecclesiastical consciousness, and in scholarly research devoted to the Soviet period in the history of our Church. The Patriarch is the father of fathers, including of the bishops, and this also applies completely to those clergymen tortured by the godless regime. It is true that he himself was not executed, but his earthly demise was undoubtedly hastened by the efforts of the OGPU (the Joint State Political Directorate. The secret police of the Soviet Union fr om 1923 to 1925. – trans.). Whether the Chekists poisoned him is debatable as there is no direct evidence for this. Yet the secret police agents did shorten the length of his life in this world.
- What do you think: Patriarch Tikhon at the beginning of his patriarchal reign in 1917 and the following years of his life – is this the same Primate or two different Primates in the way they viewed the world?
- First of all, both periods of his imprisonment – both the lengthy house arrest and his forty-day confinement under guard in the OGPU prison on Lubyanka Square in the Spring of 1923 – severely undermined his physical health. This is evident even when we look at his handwriting. My book examines in detail the entire period of his imprisonment. He emerged fr om prison suffering fr om nephritis and angina in a severe form, even though previously he had never complained about either his kidneys or his heart. We can only guess at the type and degree of pressure that was exerted upon him; after his release, however, he started to have fits, one of which was even thought to have killed him.
As regards his views as the Primate on the path of the Church's development in the Bolshevik state, then they underwent a forced evolution. This concerns in the first instance the correlation between collegiality and autonomous authority within ecclesiastical administration. At first, Patriarch Tikhon consistently implemented the decisions of the Local Council of 1917-1918 on the collegial bodies, that is to say, the Synod and the Supreme Church Council. Patriarch Tikhon's role in administration was in essence reduced to presiding over the sessions of the Holy Synod and affirming its decisions. But later, when in 1921 the period of the Synod's power to make these decisions came to an end, he would then begin to appoint its members. The authorities attempted to force the Patriarch to return to the Synod those bishops whom he knew to be agents the Cheka or OGPU. He would of course decline their candidacy and was thus compelled by circumstances to adopt the approach of autonomous decision-making (in particular, he would make decisions on clerical suspensions and episcopal consecrations and so on unilaterally). In parallel to this, the Patriarch did though try all the time to revive collegial ecclesiastical administration in a working format that was necessary for him. But he was unwilling to pay the price that the regime tried to exact fr om him.
- Occasionally discussions are revived on the possible cooperation between Saint Tikhon and the Bolsheviks. Do you dismiss this topic definitively and at its root?
- You know, we may and should speak of cooperation when someone signs a document obliging him to undertake certain steps in exchange for certain concessions. In that case, yes, that would be cooperation. There is not a single occasion in Saint Tikhon's life, however, wh ere he would have signed any such document on cooperation with the Soviet authorities, even though there are a number of bishops, known to both secular and church historians, who at that time did do such a thing. It would also be wrong, however to speak of him as someone who adhered to strong monarchist views. Along with the other members of the Holy Synod on 9th March 1917, he signed a public declaration blessing the Provisional Government, apparently being fully aware that the monarchist page of Russian history had been turned over. And when the Civil War broke out, he did not bless the White Movement. And one more brushstroke to the portrait: after the visit of Tsar Nicholas II during the celebrations of the three-hundredth anniversary of the celebration of the House of Romanov in Yaroslavl in 1913, wh ere archbishop Tikhon was the ruling hierarch, he was then transferred to Vilnius. Many historians believe that the reason for this was that he did not display sufficient loyalty with regard to the monarch.
The Story of a Forgery
- You write in detail on the great authority Patriarch Tikhon enjoyed among the faithful at the beginning of the 1920s…
- The simple people looked upon this figure as the personification of an ethnarch, the spiritual leader of the nation. The tsar had been removed and shot, so now they had the Patriarch. The faithful saw in his person not only the Primate of the Church, but also the head of the nation. When he anointed the faithful during the All-Night Vigil service in the Moscow Sretensky monastery in July 1923, the people stood for five hours waiting their turn, upon which, having collapsed from exhaustion, he was literally carried out to his carriage.
- Why did the Soviet newspapers in 1923 label him an enemy?
- These publications were a reflection of the struggle taking place within the higher echelons of the party and political elite of the time. As we know, it was Trotsky who louder than all the others called for the destruction of the Church and her priests, for them to be literally wiped from the face of the earth. But in 1922, after the end of the Civil War and the so-called Red Terror, the head of the OGPU Felix Dzerzhinsky thought it only right to determine very carefully, literally on a daily basis, what the faithful were thinking and saying, to which end agents were placed within the Patriarch's circle as well.
Of course, the accusations against Patriarch Tikhon of anti-Soviet activities were artificial and groundless. The regime simply wanted him to follow their orders, while the Patriarch responded by choosing the tactic of prayerful anticipation: he would drag out his replies, beseeching the Lord to reveal his will to him. This is what saved him. For example, in February 1924 the OGPU issued an ultimatum demanding that the Patriarch include in the bodies of higher ecclesiastical administration a number of Renovationists. Archbishop Tryphon (Turkestanov) advised him to wait awhile, saying that God's will would intervene. And indeed, this is what happened. In March the investigation into the Patriarch was unexpectedly closed. The direct lever of exerting pressure upon him had now gone, and the plans of the OGPU came to nothing.
- Why? Where had this gift emerged from?
- Almost a year earlier, in April of 1923, the Politbureau of the Russian Bolshevik Communist Party had almost unanimously (with the exception of Rykov) voted for the death penalty for Patriarch Tikhon. But there then appeared a note by Dzerzhinsky1 that indicated that the outcome of this would be such an uprising that even the Red Army would not be able to put it down, and so the sentence was put to one side. The point of view of the adherents of the New Economic Policy (headed by Stalin) prevailed, which with regard to the relationship between the state and the Church was incarnated in the form of the so-called "Church NEP" which proposed the renunciation of direct repression in favour of the Anti-religious Commission under the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Communist Party2 exerting pressure on the Patriarch with the aim of getting him to recognize the legitimacy of the Soviet regime.
- You mean a document similar to the document signed in 1927 by the Patriarch locum tenens metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky)?
- In general terms, yes, although at the beginning of the "Church NEP" the Bolsheviks did not advance such strict demands. They were interested in and needed not so much a document which would state that the Church recognizes the Soviet regime as legitimate across the entire territory of the former Russian empire as a document which would be a serious blow to the prestige and authority of the Patriarch. The discrediting of the Patriarch in the eyes of the faithful is what they wanted to achieve. In the beginning of 1925, they tried to persuade him to sign a more serious document on loyalty. The mediator in this complex game of positioning oneself was metropolitan Peter (Polyansky) who brought to the Patriarch under duress one version of the document after another from the head of the 6th department of the secret section of the OGPU Yevgeny Tuchkov. Yet they failed in obtaining the Patriarch's signature. Very 'conveniently' for the Soviet authorities Saint Tikhon departed this life. And metropolitan Peter, later canonized as a holy martyr, was forced to hand over for publication in the newspapers an edited version of the so-called Testimonial letter, which was approved by the Anti-religious Commission. As a number of scholarly articles have already proven3,Patriarch Tikhon did not sign this document. One of the important arguments in favour of the Patriarch not signing this Testimonial letter is the fact that metropolitan Peter (Polyansky) hinted indirectly at its inauthenticity. We may without hesitation assert that this Testimonial letter was a forgery. In Russian church historiography this opinion has been definitely been confirmed.
What the Holy Patriarch prays for
- Apart from the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, Saint Tikhon forms part of the Primates of the see of Moscow. In your view, whom does Patriarch Tikhon most resemble among the saintly predecessors of the see of Moscow? Perhaps the holy martyr Patriarch Hermogenes whose earthly life ended in imprisonment in his native land?
- Saint Tikhon stands out among the host of Primates of the see of Moscow precisely for the reason, as I have pointed out, that before him all of the Russian Patriarchs served under the tsar in much the same way as the metropolitans served under the grand prince. Patriarch Tikhon, though, found himself in a situation when there was no autocrat in Russia and was compelled to carry the burden of Primate alone. So, I believe it would be wrong to compare his saintly deeds with the acts of the other holy Primates.
- How would you sum up in one phrase the meaning of the figure of Saint Tikhon for the history of the Russian Church?
- He united around himself a nucleus of defenders thanks to whom the Church withstood the most ferocious persecution. It was the 'Tikhonites' who set the standard for the conscience and honour of the Church in these most turbulent years. They survived, and they bore their faith to a time when a new Patriarch would head the Church.
- What do you think we can above all learn from Saint Tikhon?
- He was able in the most arduous of circumstances to discern the will of God. He could hear signals from the heavens that were drowned out by the unceasing round of daily troubles, privations and afflictions. As he spent nights in intense prayer, he was able, subjected as he was to lies and provocations, to make the only true decisions which would not be a stain on his conscience and which would not subject the Church to additional blows. In order to get even a little closer to such heights, we must pray to Saint Tikhon and study his life. This grace-filled work is my professional obligation, and I would like to remark in passing that one of the goals of my book was to debunk those myths which have grown around the figure of Saint Tikhon over the decades of the dominance of Soviet historiography. Indeed, the press on behalf of the Patriarch published false interviews (for example, condolences on the death of Lenin), statements and articles. Unfortunately, these texts have become such an integral part of the official historiography that even church writers have accepted them uncritically.
- Do you think that the veneration of Saint Tikhon is wh ere it should be today in the Russian Church?
- No, I don't think so. Unfortunately, an awareness of the importance of his person in the history of Russia has not become widespread among the people. Why this is the case is in general terms quite understandable. In private prayers and prayers in church the faithful in choosing a prayer service to a particular saint are, alas, guided by the principle of practical use. And how Saint Tikhon can help is something our countrymen and our ordinary faithful people do not fully understand. Therefore, it has to be explained clearly and precisely that in praying to Saint Tikhon we are praying for the whole Russian Church in general, for her prosperity and for her protection from the new perfidy of the Patriarchate of Constantinople which has brought upon the Orthodox world a new schism. Today we are becoming witnesses to attempts at isolating us from the rest of the world. But we have already been there: the Patriarch of Constantinople Gregory VII called upon Patriarch Tikhon to retire and transfer power to the Renovationist 'Synod', while his successors ignored the Patriarchal Church by recognizing only the Renovationists as legitimate. Saint Tikhon ensured that the Church herself would survive at the cost of his life, and it is to him that we are to pray for the whole Church in the conditions of the war that has been unleashed against us.

STORGY Kids is an online magazine for children and young people. It was started by a bunch of kids who unfortunately had to turn into grown-ups. We love stories, writing and reading and want to bring those things together in a safe, welcoming and encouraging environment. We will publish the best short stories we can find for 8 to 12-year-old readers, whilst also providing a space for Young Adult fiction too, as well as book reviews and interviews with authors.
There aren't many places to find amazing short stories for kids online and for free – we are stepping up to the plate to provide this much needed resource, that we hope kids, parents, schools and others can enjoy and find pleasure in. We wholeheartedly believe that children's fiction writers and those young people will very much enjoy a space dedicated to such a resource!
Storgy Kids is a celebration of great writing. It is a place to find stories by great new writers, as well as read magical short stories and interviews from more established authors. We will publish book reviews of new and old books, to help you find the next best seller or rediscover something brilliant but old, like your gran!
Short stories are between 1,000 to 5,000 words long, whereas a children's novel like Matilda is about 50,000 words, whilst Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was a whopping 200,000 words. There's a big difference, but short stories aren't any less amazing. A short story can be sharp and intense, funny or emotional, magic and fantastic, futuristic or historical. They can be anything the imagination can create. Even though they don't take as long to read sometimes they are even more memorable than books.
Notwithstanding – because it looks very impressive and also it's three words in one that put together make one monster word, like a word Transformer or a Power Ranger.
Raconteur – I just love the way it sounds when you say it.
FlipFlop – I don't know why it's a word that just rubs me up the wrong way.
Receive – Because it doesn't matter how many times I write it I always spell it wrong.
Anything bad happening to my wife or children, and if Spiders were involved in the bad thing that would just finish me off, big, small, hairy…if it has eight legs and an arachnid I'm out!
Boy & The Twits – By Roald Dahl are books I very much enjoyed as a child, his storytelling is magical and I think reading these books as a child gave me a perfect grounding to see the world around me.
Not Now, Bernard – by David McKee is a book I read until I wore out my copy, then I had to borrow one from a library (do you remember those places) and now as an adult I bought myself a copy, I said it was for my children, but it was really for me…and now it's a story I read to my two girls and it just has a very special place in my heart.
Who Let The Gods Out? (series) – by Maz Evans is blooming brilliant – It's new but I love them!
Ambergris – Because it's totally gross (Whale puke). People make very expensive perfume from it. So when rich people are spraying themselves with over priced perfume, they are also covering themselves in whale puke!
Haberdashery – Because it feels nice to say it.
I heard a great saying once 'Do you know what's on the other side of fear? Nothing.' I'm a dad, so the only thing that scares me is something happening to my kids. As a kid I was scared of ghosts and the dark places in cupboards and attics.
Matilda – by Roald Dahl. This book meant a lot to me as a kid and I've read it to my daughter at least three times and she loves it too. Matilda was the first book I bought with my own money, when it first came out. I still remember buying it as a hardback book. It was the first book I read through all by myself, I was 10. As a boy I was very dyslexic and it was very hard for me to read. I really wanted to be able to read and spell like everyone else, and reading was Matilda's superpower. I wanted reading to be my superpower, but it never was.
The Graveyard Book – by Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite now -it's an amazing adventure.
Why Whales Came – by Michael Morpurgo is my other favourite – its not a long story but so much is packed into those pages in such a powerful way, a very moving story.


On April 18, 2002, inmate Roderick Johnson filed an extensive complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, alleging that Texas prison officials failed to protect him from repeated sexual assault and therefore violated his rights under the Eighth Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause. Johnson brought separate Equal Protection claims for failure to protect because of his race and because of his sexual orientation.
Johnson, a black homosexual, claimed that prison officials failed to protect him from prison gangs that repeatedly raped him and bought and sold him as a sexual slave while he was housed at the Texas prison system's Allred Unit. Plaintiff Johnson was represented by the National Prison Project of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and several private attorneys.
The defendants moved for judgment on the pleadings and for summary judgment, asserting qualified immunity and a failure on the prisoner's part to exhaust administrative remedies. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Judge Jerry Buchmeyer) in April, 2003, denied the defendants' motions, and the defendants brought interlocutory appeals. Johnson v. Johnson, No. 02-87, 2003 U.S. Dist. WL 21510816 (N.D.Tex. June 9, 2003).
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Johnson's race-based Equal Protection claims and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings on the remaining claims. Johnson v. Johnson, 385 F.3d 503 (5th Cir. 2004). The Court of Appeals noted that the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), 42 U.S.C. § 1997e, requires that a prisoner exhaust administrative remedies available within the correctional facility before bringing suit under Section 1983 regarding prison conditions. The Court held that Johnson had exhausted the available administrative remedies for his Eighth Amendment claims. The Court also found that Johnson had exhausted remedies for some of his Equal Protection sexual orientation claims because his grievances were sufficient to give prison officials fair notice that there might have been a sexual-orientation-related aspect to Johnson's problems. The Court further held that certain defendant prison officials were not entitled to qualified immunity because they did not reasonably respond to Johnson's grievances and their conduct was clearly illegal.
On remand before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the case was reassigned to Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn on January 3, 2005, and on March 22, 2005, the case caption was modified to Johnson v. Wathen to reflect the dismissal of several defendants.
On September 8, 2005, Judge Lynn granted plaintiff Johnson's petition for writs of habeas corpus. The case was tried before a jury which rendered a verdict in favor of the defendants on each of Johnson's claims on October 18, 2005. There was some subsequent litigation over attorney's fees. In January 2006, the court ordered costs against the plaintiff.
On May 23, 2012, the plaintiff moved for the court to grant him a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. The plaintiff filed the motion pro se (on his own behalf). The plaintiff was released from prison and placed on parole in 2003, but he returned to prison in the fall of 2007. The plaintiff alleges that on September 11, 2007, the ACLU contacted the Executive Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting that the plaintiff be placed in "safe keeping" because he was at extreme physical risk. The plaintiff alleges that he was subsequently placed in temporary "safekeeping". In October 2007, the plaintiff alleges that he was transferred to the New Mexico Department of Corrections under the Interstate Corrections Compact due to concerns for his safety. The plaintiff alleges that on August 9, 2011, he was involuntarily returned back into the custody of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
The plaintiff alleged that immediately upon arrival in Texas he was placed in solitary confinement under punitive conditions. The plaintiff alleged that he was in constant fear that prison officials would follow through with their threats to have him killed in retaliation for his petitioning for the redress of his grievances administratively and through the courts. The plaintiff also alleged that prison officials were being deliberately indifferent to the serious mental health risks posed by the conditions of isolation he was being kept in. The plaintiff alleged his treatment was retaliation for his prior suit against the Texas prison system. He alleged he had filed over 25 administrative grievances with the prison in regard to his treatment. The plaintiff alleged that the publicity surrounding his case will not ensure his safety in the Texas prison system. The plaintiff requested to serve the rest of his sentence in another jurisdiction.
On June 4, 2012, Magistrate Judge Paul D. Stickney was added to the case. On June 4, 2012, the plaintiff moved for the court to appoint him counsel. On August 12, 2012, Judge Stickney ordered a new case to be opened in regard to the plaintiff's current claims. This new case was 7:12-cv-00138. On September 11, 2012, the case was transferred to the Southern District of Texas. This new case was 4:12-cv-02728. The following dockets have been consolidated with this case: 7:12-cv-00138 (the Northern District of Texas), 4:12-cv-02728 (the Southern District of Texas).
The case was assigned to Judge Sim Lake. On October 4, 2012, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Within his amended complaint, he reiterated his allegations from his May 23, 2012 motion. On February 21, 2013, the defendants moved to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim. On July 22, 2013, Judge Slim granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the case for the plaintiff's failure to state a claim. The case was dismissed with prejudice. (2013 WL 3816727).
On August 23, 2013, the plaintiff appealed the dismissal of the case to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On October 1, 2014, Judge W. Eugene Davis, Judge Edith Brown Clement, and Judge Gregg J. Costa affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff's case. (WL 4854212) This case is closed.

Weakened Bears suffer semi-final thrashing
Dan Gill in action for the Bears against the Panthers.
WARWICKSHIRE Bears 2 suffered a crushing 65-25 defeat to CSWC Panthers 2 in their National League Division Three semi-final clash at the Worcester Arena.
From the opening tip-off, the Bears were in trouble against a quick and talented Panthers side who were able to cut through a weakened Bears team.
Bears fought valiantly to try and stay within touching distance, but they were no match for the eventual champions.
In the Division One bronze medal game, Bears 2 were edged out 50-48 by Wakefield Whirlwinds.
In a game that saw both teams exchanging the lead throughout, it was the Whirlwinds who took the decisive lead at the end of the last quarter and they were able to hold out to secure the win.
Rick Powell shoots during the bronze medal match against the Whirlwinds.
After the final, coach Tom Masterson said: "It has been a disappointing end to such a marvellous season.
"His weekend but I'm still immensely proud of how well the team has done all season.
"This weekend has hopefully shown that we need to start the hard work straight away to get ready for next season and the second division."
The Bears plan to hold summer training sessions as they bid to recruit for next season's games in both division one and two, plus also for the women's team.
The club are also looking to sign young players to also enter a team in the junior league.

How Does Queen Elizabeth Celebrate Christmas? Holiday Traditions Her Majesty Always Follows – The Cheat Sheet
The royal family loves a good celebration, especially ones marking specific holidays like Christmas. Every year, the queen and her family members head to their country abode in Norfolk, England to ring in the holiday season. How does Queen Elizabeth celebrate Christmas? From deep-rooted traditions to decorations to the royal family's infamous holiday gift exchange, find out how Her Majesty celebrates, ahead.

How does Queen Elizabeth celebrate Christmas?
Rumor has it, Queen Elizabeth loves Christmas. In fact, it's the one holiday that all family members must attend (though Prince William and Kate Middleton have broken that rule before). Find out how she decks the halls and rings in the Christmas season with her royal family members, ahead.
Christmas festivities take place at Sandringham House
Every year, members of the royal family head to Norfolk, England to celebrate Christmas with their loved ones. Queen Elizabeth hosts the festivities at the family's estate, Sandringham House, where several members own properties or stay with Her Majesty in the mansion.
However, there was a time when Christmas wasn't celebrated at Sandringham House. According to the family's website, the Mountbatten-Windsors celebrated the holiday at Windsor Castle during the 60s. In 1988, when the castle was due for rewiring, they moved the festivities back to Sandringham House.
There is a Christmas tree
What would Christmas be without a festive tree to decorate? The royal family couldn't agree more. According to history, Queen Charlotte might have introduced the Christmas tree to the royal family (and the rest of England). Queen Victoria and Prince Albert allegedly loved the tradition and helped make it more mainstream throughout England.
While the queen doesn't decorate the entire tree on her own, she and her family members like to add the finishing touches to their statement decoration.
Presents are also part of the celebration
What do you get a family that already has it all? We aren't sure exactly, but Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other members of the royal family seem to have a good idea. The royals allegedly exchange gifts at tea time and — rumor has it — they are usually funny gag gifts.
Christmas service
On Christmas, the royal family attends two Christmas services in the town. One of which is a morning service at St Mary Magdalene, which dates back to the 16th century.
Queen Elizabeth sends out Christmas cards
Every year, Queen Elizabeth gets into the festive spirit by sending out Christmas cards on behalf of her and Prince Philip. She typically sends out around 750 cards, which includes a family photo and is signed "Elizabeth R' and 'Philip." Family members, close friends, and world leaders are among those that receive the holiday greeting.
She gifts everyone in the family
The queen is a very giving woman — after all, she fronts the bill for many of her family members. Around the holidays, she gifts members of the household. And, she herself hands out each present at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
She gives her staff pudding
In addition to her family members, the queen also recognizes the hard work of staff members during the holidays and follows a sweet tradition started by her father, King George VI and grandfather George V. Every year, the queen gives palace, the Court Post Office, and palace police staff Christmas pudding (she orders about 1,500 of them!). Each pudding comes with a thoughtful card from Her Majesty and Prince Philip.

DrKhalid.co.uk - Is it allowed to take a mortgage?
Is it allowed to take a mortgage?
Mortgage is based on interest, and interest is haraam and is one of the major sins in Islaam, which can never become halaal at all. There is no argument or difference of opinion on this issue. Whoever makes a difference or dispute on this issue has differed from Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
"Those who eat Ribâ (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitân (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: Trading is only like Ribâ (usury), whereas Allâh has permitted trading and forbidden Ribâ (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Ribâ (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allâh (to judge); but whoever returns (to Ribâ (usury)), such are the dwellers of the Fire they will abide therein."
"Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: We believe, and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allâh will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars."
"Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, When (will come) the Help of Allâh? Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allâh is near!"
"If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allâh may test those who believe, and that He may take witnesses from among you. And Allâh likes not the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers).. "
"Do you think that you will enter Paradise before Allâh tests those of you who fought (in His Cause) and (also) tests those who are As-SâbirIn (the patient ones etc.)?"
"And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-SâbirIn (the patient ones etc.).. 156.Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.. 157.They are those on whom are the Salawât (i.e. blessings, etc.) (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.."
So whoever obeys the laws of Allah will fulfil the purpose of this life and whoever disobeys the laws of Allah will be a loser on the Day of Judgement.
One common question is: "Is interest permissible for those who live in a non-Muslim country?"
Whether we live in a Muslim country or a non-Muslim country, interest can never become permissible. In fact, living in this country has a much higher standard of living for many people than if they had to live in a Muslim country. And people who make interest permissible in this country would do the same in a Muslim country because the economic system of Muslim countries is no different from non-Muslim countries.
Another common question is: "Can you accept interest to pay interest on mortgage?"
This is simply darkness upon darkness, because taking mortgage is one major sin, accepting interest is another major sin, and using that interest to pay other interest is a third major sin. May Allaah protect us from falling into the depth of haraam in such a manner.
Are there any halaal mortgages available?
There are many companies these days who are claiming to provide so called "halaal mortgage," but Muslims should be extremely careful to find out and make sure that what they are purchasing is really what the seller is claiming.
What should a person do who has already bought a house on mortgage and now realises that this was haraam?
What is haraam can never be changed into halal, except by sincere repentance and removing what is haraam. Changing a high street mortgage into a so-called 'halal mortgage' is not proper because most of these 'halal mortgages' are in fact unlawful.
So one should get rid of the haraam dealings of paying the mortgage on a house straight away, if this is at all possible. However, if this puts a person or his/her family into extreme hardship, then Allaah is merciful and He does not burden His slaves with more than they can bear, so one can stay in the house bought on a mortgage as long as he is sincere with his repentance and he does his best effort to get rid of this burden as fast as possible. He should also realise that Allaah is ever-watchful and knows what is in the hearts of people.

Ajax vs Liverpool: Four things to expect as Van Dijk absence begins
By Felix Keith
Published: 19:30, 20 October 2020
Liverpool begin their Champions League campaign with a trip to Amsterdam to play Ajax on Wednesday night.
It is not an easy start to the competition for the 2019 champions, who are reeling from the injury to key defender Virgil van Dijk in Saturday's 2-2 Premier League draw with rivals Everton.
Van Dijk is set for a long spell on the sidelines after Liverpool confirmed on Sunday that the 29-year-old would require surgery on a knee ligament injury caused by Jordan Pickford's reckless challenge in the Merseyside derby.
The Dutchman's anterior cruciate ligament injury is a serious blow for Jurgen Klopp, who is also without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who has a shoulder injury.
Ajax may have sold Donny van de Beek, Hakim Ziyech, Sergino Dest and Joel Veltman over the summer transfer window, but Erik ten Hag's side remain a dangerous opponent, especially after their confidence-boosting 5-1 thrashing of Heerenveen on Sunday.
Ajax vs Liverpool odds with William Hill:
Ajax: 15/4
Draw: 16/5
Liverpool: 4/6

The Ajax team that stunned Real Madrid and Juventus to reach the Champions League semi-finals in the 2018/19 season has largely been picked apart.
However, while Van de Beek, Ziyech, Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt have all moved on in high-profile transfers to some of Europe's biggest clubs, one man who was central to their success has stayed put.
Ajax have bolstered their ranks with the exciting signings of young talents like Brazilian winger Anthony and Ghana's international attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus, but there is no doubt who remains central to their attack.
Dusan Tadic has been exceptional since joining Ajax from Southampton in June 2018, providing the creative link between midfield and attack through his intelligent movement and excellent left foot.
The Serbian playmaker has started the season in fine form, picking up three goals and two assists in five Eredivisie games so far.
With Liverpool missing Van Dijk, Alisson and potentially Thiago, who was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge by Richarlison on Saturday, Tadic may well hold the key for Ajax.
Ajax vs Liverpool match result and both teams to score (via William Hill):
4. A score draw
Ajax have the creativity and confidence to hurt Liverpool, who have conceded 13 goals in five Premier League games – albeit seven of those came in one flurry against Aston Villa – and the loss of some key defensive figures will surely be felt in Amsterdam.
But while Liverpool's defence is significantly weaker due to injury, the same cannot be said of the other end of the pitch where Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino will certainly be confident of getting at Ajax's back line.
The game promises goals at both ends, so don't be surprised to see Adrian and Andre Onana forced to pick the ball out of their net more than once.

Sopolemalama Filipe Tohi is a tufuga lalava, an expert in the Tongan art of binding with coconut sennit.
the layers of sennit, which he recreates in his own contemporary art of 'lalavaometry'.
During a 2004 project for the Samoan Head of State, Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese, Filipe lashed a Fale Maota at Nofo'ali'i near Apia with a theme of the intertwined history of Tonga and Samoa. Tamasese bestowed the title Sopolemalama (bringer of light) in appreciation for his efforts. Filipe's art brings attention to the fine designs and precision of lashing paying homage to his predecessors yet he integrates a contemporary twist whether through the designs, forms, or layering material which might be sennit, colored wool, or even made two-dimensional with paint on canvas. While he has used sennit or kafa in its traditional sense at the Pasifika Fale at the Pacific Studies Department at the University of Auckland, he also lashes individual objects transforming technology of the past into a modern representation of identity and experience.
He believes lalava patterns represent a life philosophy. For him, lalava patterns advocate balance in daily living and are metaphorical and physical ties to cultural knowledge: "I have identified a visual language within the lalava that was not only used by our ancestors for voyaging, but it communicated principles of cultural knowledge and history. For me the sennit patterns of the Pacific convey our memories and experiences as well as carry us from place to place." The line-space intersection of lalava produces elaborate and complex geometric designs of an abstract nature. Within the abstract designs lalava holds important implications on the social, philosophical, astrological, navigational, epistemological, ontological, and ecological levels. By deciphering the existing designs, Filipe unlocks visual histories recorded by Tonga's earlier Tufunga Lalava. His sculptures reflect a pan-Polynesian aesthetic that he sees as a means of fostering understanding between cultures. His work speaks not only of his homeland of Tonga, but the experiences of migrating and living in New Zealand. He works with a wide variety of media from wood, stone, and wool to industrial materials such as steel and perspex. Filipe uses natural media to represent the past and steel as a contemporary component: "For me, stainless steel represents the shiny new structures in the modern world. Wood is based more in tradition - in natural things from our environment."
Filipe has worked on an international level since carving his first commission for the New Zealand Embassy in Saudi Arabia in 1987. Two years later, he held his first solo exhibition at the Govett Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Filipe instructed many students during his years at Rangimarie Arts and Crafts Centre and was a founding member of the Te Kupenga in New Plymouth. He has been a full time artist since 1990 and has participated in numerous exhibitions around the world including the UK, Lithuania, France, Germany, USA, and Japan. Filipe has major public sculptures in New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Japan, and China.

In some cases, you may see subtle signs of a burst pipe. Here are some times when the water isn't the first thing you may notice. If a pipe bursts under the concrete slab of your house, or if it bursts behind a wall and the water isn't running directly into the living space, you may end up seeing other signs. These can include damp or saturated drywall, water dripping from the ceiling, wet carpets, wet insulation or wet and soggy ground outside the house,high water bill, and high gas bill. You may also see a settling concrete slab or wall.
If one of the drains in your house has become clogged, you should take quick action to ensure it's handled properly. You can try to remedy the clog with a standard plunger or chemicals, but if that doesn't work you should halt the DIY efforts and call for professional help.
Why Consider a Tankless Water Heater?
The main reason that people consider a tankless water heater after using a typical tank model is to get an endless supply of hot water whenever they need it. Tankless water heaters use a heater that's tied into the plumbing, so there is no tank to empty, and you'll never have to worry about running out. Tankless heaters are also highly efficient, often saving money on fuel costs.

The Inner Workings of the Mind of Isaac Newton
By The National Library of Israel
Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the world-famous physicist and mathematician, was a central figure in the scientific revolution. Nearly 8,000 papers, written in Newton's own hand, are preserved in the collections of the National Library of Israel. These reveal an unknown side of Newton's personality.
Newton family geneaology Newton family geneaology by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
Besides being a scientist, Newton was an avid (though unusual) Christian believer, who took a special interest in the Scriptures, believing that a deep understanding of the text would allow him to unravel the secrets of the End of Days and to compute the date of Christ's Second Coming and the Apocalypse. Of special importance is Newton's deep interest in Jewish sources, and his view regarding the role of the Jews in the process of salvation.
Newton's family tree (c. 1705)
This small manuscript leaf contains a simplified version of Newton's family tree in his own hand. The name given at the top is of that of John Newton of Westby, Lincolnshire, Newton's great-great-grandfather. John Newton bought property in nearby Woolsthorpe for his son Richard. It was Richard's son Robert who added Woolsthorpe manor to the family holding in 1623. Robert's son Isaac, Newton's father, inherited Woolsthorpe manor. An Illiterate yeoman farmer, Isaac Newton Senior died two months before his only son's birth in Woolsthorpe manor on 25 December, Christmas Day. But Newton was born neither on Christmas Day nor in 1642 according to the Gregorian calendar. Because the British were still using the Julian calendar in Newton's lifetimes, his date of birth corresponds to 4 January 1643 on the Continent.
Twelve Statements on God (1670/1670) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Newton the heretic
Newton's extensive study of Christian doctrine brought him to the conclusion that the doctrine of the Trinity was a corruption of the original Biblical doctrine. He believed that the Scriptures taught that God is one divine person and that this one divine person is the Father, while Christ is the literal Son of God, having no human father.Newton hid his beliefs. Had his contemporaries known of them he would have been considered a heretic. He however, believed that he held the true belief.Citations from the 'Twelve Statements on God', in the attached photographPar. 1 - "The [word] God is no where in the scriptures used to signify more than the three persons at once."Par. 3 - "When ever it is said in the scriptures that there is but one God, it is meant of the Father."
Fragments on the kingdoms of the European tribes, the Temple and the history of Jewish and Christian Churches (1670/1670) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Newton and the Jewish temple
believed that the temple described in the prophecy of Ezekiel would
materialize at the End of Days. He therefore invested much effort in
studying matters related to the Jewish Temple and its rituals.This
trilingual manuscript- written in Latin, Hebrew and Greek- shows that
Newton was familiar not only with the work of scholars of his time but
also with the ancient Jewish sources including the Mishna , the Zohar,
the Talmud, and many more.
On the third line from the top Newton copied, in meticulous Hebrew script, the words:ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד "Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for all eternity".
Map of the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets (1670/1680) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Map of the trumpets
Newton's preoccupation with the Apocalypse of John elicited this realistic map of the Near East which illustrates the geography of the region in which the Apocalyptic events will occur. According to Revelations 9, four angels will be released on the Euphrates River and will punish the sinners. Newton believed that the Fifth Trumpet is Islam, and the Sixth – the Ottoman Empire. He also identified the four angels as the Sultanates marked out on the map: Iconium, Damascus, Mosul and Miapharekin.
Drafts on the history of the Church (1710/1720) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Shrewd head of the royal mint
Besides being a brilliant scientist and theologian, Newton also displayed adroit skills as an administrator. In 1696, he was appointed Warden of the Royal Mint in London. In this capacity Newton wrote this letter to the tin mine owners, explaining to them through meticulous calculations that Her Majesty, Queen Anne, has already purchased from them much more tin than she can sell, leaving her with "dead stock" (surplus), which can only be sold at a loss.He therefore announces his decision to end the contract with them.
The Hieroglyphical figures of Nicholas Flammel explained (1680/1690) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Newton the alchemist (c. 1680)
Newton also took a deep interest in alchemy. Although most of the alchemical papers are in Cambridge, the NLI possesses some alchemical papers, amongst which there is one unique page. It is a part of Newton's copy of an English translation made in 1624 of The Exposition of the Hieroglyphical Figures, by the famous French Alchemist Nicholas Flamel.
Newton sketched Flamel's symbolic figures, and described their alchemical role in the text below: "She is now like a Lion devouring all metallic nature and turning it to pure gold…".
Considerations about rectifying the Julian Kalendar. (1699/1699) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Isaac Newton and the Royal Society
In 1709, following a bitter dispute between Hans Sloan, Secretary of the Royal Society, and John Woodward, a member of Council and Professor of Physic at Gresham College – which housed the society – Newton decided to relocate the Society and consolidate his hold over the Institution by removing his opponents from Council. Toward the end Newton a "hit list" of those Fellows he wished to replace – marked in the documents displayed with an "x" following their name. Hardly surprising, none of the were re-elected to Council in November 1709. (part of the Drafts on the history of the Church, sec. 7)
Rectifying the Julian calendar
the determination of the Ratisbon Diet in 1699 to introduce the Gregorian
Calendar into German Protestant territories, it became necessary to establish a
certain method for reckoning Easter. Leibniz, who was consulted on the matter,
requested the judgment of the Royal Society, and Newton was solicited for his
opinion. Newton proved critical of both Julian and Gregorian reckonings and his
"considerations" offered his own alternative. As was his wont, Newton
began with an extended historical introduction:
were at first reckoned by returns of day & night, new & full moon,
simmer & winter. Whence the oldest years consisted of Lunar months &
where twelve months were found too short for thirteenth was added to make up
the year. These months began not at the conjunction of the Luminaries but at
the first appearance of the new moon, which used to be between 18 & 42
hours after the conjunction if the sky was clear.
Notes taken from Moses Maimonides' Sefer Avodah (1680/1690) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
taken from Moses Maimonides' Sefer Avodah (c. 1680s)
The first of a series of folios of notes taken from the Medieval Jewish
philosopher and theologian Moses Maimonides, this folio is headed "Ex
Maimonide lib. de Cultu divino" [Out of Maimonides' Book of
Divine Service]. Newton owned Ludovici de Compiegne de Veil's De cultu
divino (Paris, 1678) and it is from this translation of Maimonides' Sefer
Avodah [ Book of Divine Service] that Newton took these notes. The Sefer Avodah was of interest to
Newton due to its extensive treatment of the Temple and its ritual.
Newton owned other Latin translations from Maimonides' halachic works
(the Mishne Torah) that together represent the Sefer Korbanot
[Book of Sacrifices], the Hilchot Ovde Kochavim [Laws of Idolatry], the Hilchot
Kiddush Ha-Hodesh [Law of the Sanctification of the New Month] and the Hilchot
Shemittah Ve-Yovel [Laws of Sabbaticals and Jubilees].
Newton also owned a copy of Edward Pococke's Porta Mosis (1654-1655), which included translations from Maimonides's commentary on the Mishnah. On the other hand, Newton did not own a copy of Maimonides' Moreh Nevuchim [Guide to the Perplexed]. The evidence of Newton's library and his reading notes suggests that he was more interested in Jewish writings on Jewish law and the ritual than Jewish philosophy. Newton owned many works by Christian Hebraists that treat Jewish law and ritual. He also owned works that discussed the Kabbalah, although Newton was not as positively disposed toward the Kabbalah as he was towards other aspects of Judaic thought (nevertheless, it is possible that some of Newton's views on space and time owe something to Kabbalistic thought). While he was not known as such in his own lifetime, Newton's manuscripts show him to have been one of the most significant Christian Hebraists of his age.
Variant Readings of the Apocalypse (1693/1693) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Variant readings of the Apocalypse
This 105-page manuscript, entitled "Variants Lectiones Apocalypticae" ("Variant Readings of the Apocalypse"), contains Newton's careful collation of the textual variants of the Book of Revelation. Newton carried out this extensive work at the request of the textual critic John Mill (1645-1707), whose monumental critical edition of the Greek New Testament appeared in 1707. Newton's involvement in this project represents another dynamic of his wide-ranging study of the Apocalypse and demonstrates that he played a minor role in the history of New Testament textual criticism. The first folio displayed here shows variant readings for the first eleven verses of Revelation 1. On this folio Newton refers to the Codex Alexandrinus (a fifth-century Greek manuscript) and early modern critical editions (the Spanish Complutensian Polyglot and those of Erasmus and Stephanus).
A Synopsis of the Synchronisms of the Apocalypse (1690/1700) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
A Synopsis of the
Synchronisms of the Apocalypse
this chart Newton has schematized the symbols and events of the Apocalypse into
parallel columns. Like some other Protestant prophetic interpreters of the
early modern period, Newton believed that the Book of Revelation consisted of
two parallel divisions, with the second division beginning at Revelation 11:19.
The chart illustrates Newton's belief that the Trumpets and the Vials
symbolized a parallel sequence of events (seen in the second column from the
left in each half of the chart).
begins at the top of the chart and moves down to the bottom. The events of the
time of the end displayed at the bottom include the preaching of the true
Gospel, the fall of Babylon (the false Church), the Great Tribulation, the
return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the beginning of the
Millennium. Newton sent a smaller and simpler apocalyptic chart to his friend
the philosopher John Locke in the early 1690s.
The Apocalypse for Newton was one of the greatest of all intellectual challenges. The thousands upon thousands of pages of careful writing Newton devoted to its deciphering are testaments to his devotion to the challenge.
Outline of the Basic parallels between the first four Trumpets and the first four Vials: 1. Trumpet War on the earth\Vial poured on the earth; 2. Trumpet War on the sea\Vial poured on the sea; 3. Trumpet War on the rivers\Vial poured on the rivers; 4. Trumpet War on the sun\Vial poured on the sun
The Kingdom of God: Peace on Earth (1680/1690) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Kingdom of God: Peace on Earth (1680s)
folio from a large treatise on the Book of Revelation Newton composed in the
same decade wrote the Principia mathematica (1687). In this selection,
Newton discusses passages from the Hebrew Prophets Isaiah and Micha that speak
about an age of peace between nations that Newton believed would be ushered in
by the return of Christ. The passage from Isaiah 2 speaks of o kingdom of God
centered in Jerusalem, a Kingdom of peace that Newton saw as coming several
decades beyond his own lifetime. This passage of Isaiah is visualised on the Ardon
stained glass artwork upstairs in this building. The evocative statement about
beating swords into plowshares inspired a statue that the Soviet Union donated
to United Nations building in New York during the Cold War. The text is written
in the hand of Humphrey Newton, who served as Isaac Newton's amanuensis (secretarial
assistant) during the 1680s. The men were not related, despite having the same
surname.
So in Isa. 11.6. Beasts are men where is said that wold shall lied down with the Lamb and the Leopard shall lie down with the kid and the Calf and they you Lyon and the Fatling together and a little child shall lead tem and the cow and the Bear shall feed, their young one shall lie down together, and the Lion shall eat like the ox, and the suckling child shall play on the hole of Asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice; they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my mountain For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord. These last words explain the rest and shew the peaceable state of Christ's Kingdom to be here spoken of … the Prophets in other places described more plainly saying that they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks and nations neither shall they learn war any more Isa. 2.4. Micah. 4.3.
The Monarchy of Egypt at Thebes (1710/1720) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
Monarchy of Egypt at Thebes (post – 1710)
The first page of a chapter on the Egyptian monarchy at Thebes, this manuscript is a draft of material related to Newton's Chronolgy. This folio includes references to various rules of Egypt, as we as the Asiatic Hyksos (here referred to as "the sheperds"), whose period of domination in Egypt lasted from the thirteenth to the seventeenth dynasties (eighteenth to sixteenth centuries B.C.E). Several references are made in text to historians consulted by Newton, including Manetho, Sextus Julianus Africanus, Eusebius and the Hellenistic Jew Josephus Flavius, whose treatise Contra Apion is cited in the right hand-margin. A table at the bottom of the folio compares the variant renderings of the Egyptian ruler's names in Josephus, Africanus and the Greek and Latin versions of Eusebius
Apocalyptic calculations regarding the year 2060 (1700/1700) by Sir Isaac NewtonThe National Library of Israel
2060 – The end of days
In these notes, written on a letter bearing the remnants of its red seal wax, Newton calculated- based on the Book of Daniel 7:25- that the End of Days will arrive in the year 2060. Newton's calculations relied on his belief that the starting point for his calculations was the year 800 c.e, when Charlemagne founded the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope's supremacy commenced. Here, Newton believed, began the period of the "Apostate" Church's deepest corruption which will end in apocalyptic events such as plagues and fires, the terrible battle of Armageddon and eternal damnation of the wicked mentioned in the Book of Revelation.

Work, mail, bloglines, reading forums, blogging: pick any three, because that's all there's time for. I'm leaning toward saying "screw it" to email today and just blogging instead. I've got to train some people for a couple hours, but then maybe I'll circle back 'round.
I am not as busy as you but boy can I relate, email for someone like you must be out of control.
I second Aaron's comment about having an area where people can submit things unrelated to the blog.
All though then you might have to go from "pick any three" to "pick any two".
Whoops. Guess I should have read this blog post first.
In another blog post, I suggested a forum with some mods to take care of this type of thing. I've had the thought for a while, though.
If I know I'm going to have a busy workday (happily, they're not all busy), I just don't open certain applications — usually the RSS aggregator. That'll give me a couple of extra hours for the day, but the next day I'll have to try to catch up on my reading, which means I'll have to make quick judgements about which items will have to be skipped.
Matt – I vote for more blogging! Maybe you could talk Sergey and Larry into joining the blog mania? Can't understand it if you don't do it.
At WMW Las Vegas you and the Organic Reviews were VERY popular, so here's an idea for your 20% project: Open a "Site Review" Forum in conjunction with Danny and Brett.
The ONLY topic in the forum will be site reviews – people submit them, you and other participants critique them, all can watch and comment. WMW suffers from not allowing URL disclosure even when it would help people understand wazzup with a site.
The simplified version of this would be to run it off this blog in a site review section.
Joe Hunkins, a suggestion for you good sir: while you won't find Matt or Danny or Brett at this particular place, WebProWorld has a site review section.
You need to slow down son, learn to relax, make sure you have time to go out to lunch every day and for the love of god squeeze in a couple of pints.
Hell, I'll even buy the pizza and the 1st pitcher of beer – I'm sure we can convince Martini bust to join us on a moments notice.
Good god I shouldn't post after drinking gin, that's YOUNG jedi and MASTER bill.
Lol,.. getting a little frustrated Matt?
The test DC ready for feedback yet ?
Hey Guys… Nice blog Matt. I vote for more blogging also! Thats my plan too Spider Ninja.
Time management is so essential today in running a business. How many days have flown by where you finish your last email reply, checked the blogs you follow, return a phone call or two, and find that you already missed lunch.
Somthing I have found that work for me in scheduling me week out in advance.
I dedicated blocks of time to specific tasks, and make sure I stay on task and do not exceed the time alotted. ie, monday from 9-11, I catch up on the blogs I follow, from 11-12 I read and reply to email. If there is more email than I can get to in 1 hour, ot has to wait until my next scheduled email check at 4.
If you want to get anything done well you need focused attention. I've talked a couple of multi millionaires and they don't even own cell phones for this reason.
So true Hone Watson…you need some time to reflex and regenerate otherwise you are always replying.
