The promotional merchandise sector in the UK is now worth more than £1 billion, ten years after the financial crisis hammered the industry. Sourcing City's annual state of the nation Market Report 2017, shows a sector in rude health, albeit with structural differences to a decade ago, and facing new and emerging challenges.
For the eighth year in succession there has been steady and continual growth in the UK & Ireland promotional merchandise market. The industry was worth £1,025 million in 2017, £108m ahead of the year before the banking crisis of 2008, representing an overall recovery of £351m from the low point of 2010. The market grew by £58m last year – growth of 7.7% from 2016.
In terms of the make-up of the market, there is a significant trend for professional distributors with a turnover in excess of £500,000 to grow faster than smaller distributors. The market share of large distributors has once again increased even though the number of £1m+ distributors remained relatively static in 2017.
In 2017 the total market contained 2,077 professional distributor companies – an increase of 102 new distributors on the 1,975 from 2016. Almost all the new distributor companies have a turnover of less than £500,000 at present.
Analysis shows that larger distributors control a disproportionate share of the market. There are 1,735 distributors who have a turnover of under £500,000, representing 83% of distributors by number, but only 25.4% of market spend. Just 342 distributor companies with an annual turnover more than £500,000 are responsible for 75% of spend.
This represents a turnaround in respective market share between large and small distributors in the past decade. In 2007 distributors with a turnover in excess of £500,000 accounted for just 24% of the total market spend – this has more than trebled in the past 10 years. Just 145 distributor companies, with a turnover more than £1m, represent £617m, or 60.2%of the entire market spend. In 2007 the more than £1m turnover group accounted for 40.7% of the entire end-user market.
One possible factor driving the growth of larger players may be inflation and changing cost prices, something the market has not faced for several years. End-user customers are now experiencing prices increasing rather than constantly reducing.
Another challenge has been increasing competition from players such as printers looking to offer merchandise as a cross sell. For new companies looking to enter the market, the barriers to entry are very low, with mass product information and support systems available at low cost or even free from some quarters.
in managing orders. When they sell promotional merchandise at low margins, the entire professional distributor sales chain is put at risk.
Vistaprint, which has made a strong move into the sector, is not seen as a direct threat yet as most distributors have little interest in the low quantity orders it serves. If Vistaprint maintains its original 'Power of one' strategy, then it poses little threat to most professional distributors who operate on a consultative basis, the report claims.
Despite high profile cases, such as Dukes of London's demise, the number of companies ceasing trading in 2017 dropped from the previous year and was the second lowest in the past seven years. In 2017, 44 distributor companies ceased to trade, and the majority had a turnover below £250,000. At 24, the number of supplier companies that ceased trading last year was the lowest recorded since 2014.
The report provides a useful breakdown of the most popular products by value. These have remained relatively constant for the past six years.
In revenue terms bags continue to be consistently number one, followed by pens and pencils, and then plastic giveaways. Mugs and confectionery have swapped positions to take fourth and fifth spots, while sports bottles and USB accessories have both grown their market share significantly.

Sometimes we all wish we could change things about ourselves and often, when other people say things like, 'you're beautiful, you don't need to change' or 'you're a good looking girl, it could be worse' it's disarming, it's frustrating and it doesn't help. We all have days where we don't feel good in our own skin, some of us more than others. It might be that you dislike your nose and can't help but focus on it whenever you see a photo of yourself, or it could be that you struggle with a more serious issue in accepting yourself and the way you look.
Insecurity about our physical selves is something we've no doubt all experienced and with nine in 10 teenage girls suggesting they're unhappy with their own bodies, it's clear that something isn't quite right with the way we're taught to perceive and judge ourselves and each other. I mean, nine in 10 is just crazy. Personally, I've fallen in and out of love with my own body plenty of times. I struggled with dysmorphia and disordered eating as a teenager and have always felt self conscious about certain aspects of my appearance.
My nose has always bugged me. It's one of those things I'm fairly certain other people don't notice but it always had two dips near the top and the middle which made it look narrower and slightly hookish. My lips always used to bother me too. Not because they were thin but because my top lip has always been a little too short, meaning I have to make a conscious effort to close my mouth all the damn time so I don't look gormless. Using all the muscles in the lower part of my face to do this all the time meant I tend to always have a bit of a pout on which honestly, I think gave other people the impression I thought I was a bit cool growing up. In truth, I just didn't want to sit there with my mouth open.
Feeing confident about your appearance is largely down to state of mind, however, with so many young women experiencing low self esteem linked to looks and body image, we need to stop pretending that this is all it is. Sure, I can feel like I look great from one day to the next, but things like my lips and my nose will always bother me and no matter how many feel-good mantras I utter as I put my make up on in the mornings, or how many likes a selfie I post on Instagram might receive, I'll continue feeling the same way about these things as I have since I was a kid.
I've always been a confident person but good vibes and positive thinking will only get you so far, there are things I've always felt insecure about and wished I could change. But there's another issue that affects our self esteem and this is where things get messed up… Often if we voice our insecurities, other people will often undermine us, telling us that societal pressures, airbrushed images or wealthy celebrities are to blame for our feelings about the way we look.
Let me be honest, I find this very reductive and somewhat offensive and as a teenager, being told I was perfect the way I was and that I shouldn't compare myself to women in magazines did not help me. I've been uncomfortable about having a short top lip and big front teeth and about having dips and bumps on my nose for as long as I remember. This has absolutely nothing to do with reality TV, women's magazines or Snapchat filters.
Over the years, I've read a ton of articles written by women about the pressure young girls feel to look a particular way and how 'deeply alarming and disgusting' this is and often, this kind of rhetoric does little to make women feel good about themselves. In fact, it does the opposite. It shames us for daring to want to feel more comfortable in our own skin by making the changes we, in some cases desperately, want to make.
This bizarre sort of article is the exact reason I'm pro-surgery and pro cosmetic procedures. No one has the right to make you feel bad for wanting to be your best self, for seeking beauty and for claiming agency over your own body. The important thing to bear in mind is that no decision to change yourself should be taken lightly and you should always conduct proper research and consult with a qualified professional to ensure your own safety and desired results.
I'm lucky in that my insecurities have by no means ruined my life but they've always been with me, so when presented with the opportunity to actually do something about them, instead of just thinking more positively and getting on with things, I took it. I visited aesthetic specialist Olivier Branford at the Cadogan Clinic on Sloane Street to discuss my thoughts on my appearance and the things that bothered me.
One of the UK's leading plastic surgeons and cosmetic professionals, Olivier and I talked about body confidence, the statistics about teenage girls and how making small natural looking changes can be far more conducive to raising self esteem than positive thinking alone. You might not agree with this it's something I believe very strongly. I've seen the impact that making small changes can have on a person's confidence, how their view of themselves and the way they take on the world can alter overnight and I myself have experience of this too.
Olivier worked with me to visualise and make small changes in order to boost my confidence and I'm not exaggerating when I say I felt more beautiful and powerful than I have in my whole life after a few sessions with him. Now, this of course has a lot to do with other changes I was making in my life. In order to feel more body confident I had been exercising differently, eating differently and making time to say yes to more things that made me feel good.
My point is that achieving true body confidence is a journey that's different for everyone but we can't keep pretending that simply having positive thoughts is enough. There will always be things we dislike about ourselves and being shamed for wanting to change them is not helpful. Instead we should be asking ourselves how we can support others in their self improvement, how we can make them feel good and how we can help ourselves to feel better too.
We still have a long way to go in terms of accepting that all bodies are unique and that beauty looks different to different people, but we should also be teaching our teenage girls that it's ok to feel insecure and that those feelings are valid, whilst we continue to encourage them to feel beautiful and comfortable with the way they look.
The bumps on my nose and my short top lip aren't things I worry about any more and honestly, this is great because it frees up a lot of mental space for me to focus on other things. I feel much happier and more confident and I'm grateful that I had the power and support to make those small changes. Sure, there will be people who'll always be against a woman like me making changes to the way she looks, but it's worth remembering that your body is the only thing that will ever truly belong to you and therefore loving it, respecting it and feeling your best in it is entirely up to you.

Oil Surges Again as OPEC Cut of 2Mln Barrels Per Day Rumored
Credit: © Reuters.
By Barani Krishnan
Investing.com -- Oil market volatility reached new heights Tuesday amid talk of a possible cut of as much as two million barrels per day in output by OPEC+ in a bid by the oil producing alliance to end a four-month rut in crude prices.
Price surges and tumbles ahead of the monthly meetings of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies are common, depending on how big the rumored change in production is.
And a two-million bpd shift is as big as it comes in today's scheme of things, especially for an oil cartel that has been struggling for more than a year to produce as it committed.
New York-traded West Texas Intermediate settled up $2.89, or 3.2%, at $86.52 per barrel, extending Monday's 5.2% run-up. The rally comes right after a woeful September and third quarter for the oil market, where WTI ended the month down 12.5% and July-Sept period lower by 24%.
Brent , the London-traded global benchmark for oil, settled up $2.94, or 3.3%, at $91.80 per barrel, adding to Monday's 4.4% gain. Brent finished September down 11% and the third quarter lower by 22%.
The Financial Times reported that Saudi Arabia was seeking to raise oil prices by holding its first in-person OPEC+ meeting in Vienna in more than two years on Wednesday, in a move set to anger the U.S. and help Russia. The Saudis lead the original 13-member OPEC, which Russia and nine other oil-producing countries became allies of since 2016.
Russia, facing U.S. and Western sanctions on its oil due to its invasion of Ukraine, has been selling its crude at a huge discount to market prices, undercutting others in OPEC+. Despite that, Riyadh wants to help the Kremlin due to the strategic importance of Russia as an oil producer — without whom OPEC+ would virtually collapse.
"This is not the Saudi Arabia of old and the U.S. has maybe been a little slow or unwilling to acknowledge that in energy matters," Raad Alkadiri, an analyst at Eurasia Group, was quoted saying by the FT. "If they want a higher oil price, they've clearly indicated they're going to pursue that, even if it results in a tit-for-tat response from the U.S."
The size of the production cut at the OPEC+ meeting is still to be agreed upon, but Saudi Arabia and Russia are pushing for reductions of 1.0 million-2.0 million barrels a day or more, changes that could be phased in over several months, the FT reported. The move would probably trigger U.S. countermeasures, including the additional release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which the Biden administration has already drawn heavily from this year, the FT added.
But White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday that the Biden Administration is not considering new SPR releases.
Production commitments by OPEC+ have become increasingly suspect over the past year.
OPEC+ fell short of its production target by 3.583 million barrels daily in August, according to an internal document of the 23-nation alliance reported by Reuters on Sept. 19. In July, the cartel fell short by 2.892 million barrels daily.
The cartel is to announce Wednesday its production quota for November.
"It's B.S. if you ask me, these OPEC+ production quotas," John Kilduff, partner at New York energy hedge fund Again Capital, told Investing.com. "They haven't hit their targets for months. So effectively, all they'll be doing with a so-called production cut of 2 million barrels per day is dropping the bar on a target they never achieved anyway. And the market rewards their guile with a 3% price hike."

Proposed changes would 'corrupt' EU ETS
Photo: Maersk
The World Shipping Council (WSC) has hit out at proposed changes to Europe's Emissions Trading System (ETS).
Gary Howard | Jan 24, 2022
The container line lobbying group responded to proposed changes to the EU ETS in a European Parliament draft report by Rapporteur Peter Liese.
The proposed amendments to the scheme include a change to the definition of a "responsible entity" to include vessel operators and a clause to pass ETS costs from the shipowner to the operator. The amendment would essentially place WSC's members on the hook for ETS costs for timechartered vessels; the group has objected on environmental grounds.
Related: MTM to expand biofuel use after successful trial
"The proposed amendments are intended to shield shipowners from ETS costs and then provide them with front-of-line access to ETS revenues such as the Ocean Fund. This would corrupt the whole idea of the ETS, changing it from a "polluter-pays" policy to a system where the "polluter-gets-paid", and vastly reduce its effectiveness," said WSC.
The report said that to uphold the pulluter pays policy, costs should be paid by the entity ultimately responsible for decisions affecting a vessel's CO2 emissions, and that a binding legal agreement between owner and commercial operator would make it easier for authorities to identify and contact commercial operators.
Related: Shippers challenge container line demurrage fees in US courts
WSC also warned that amendment 46 directs the European Commission to seek bilateral deals that would undermine progress towards a global policy on greenhouse has (GHG) emissions. The amendment would mean that the European Commission would engage with third countries to establish market-based measures to reduce GHG emissions from shipping, covering 100% of emissions from journeys between EU members states and the third countries.
The report justified the amendment on the grounds that the current Maritime ETS text would only cover half of extra-EU journeys.
Although amendment 46 includes specific text for the EC to engage with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to strengthen a global market-based measure, WSC objected on the grounds that "the bilateral agreements proposed would undermine progress towards global GHG policy.
"This would be a costly distraction, undermining progress towards global GHG policy at the IMO and slowing progress toward decarbonising shipping. It would also undermine the GHG and economic goals of the EU Green Deal, amplifying the risks identified in EU impact assessments - GHG leakage, loss of EU port competitiveness, and distortion of trade," said WSC

In my essay on the origin of flowering plants, I discussed many ideas related to how angiosperms came to dominate terrestrial ecosystems. Representing hundreds of thousands of species and 96% of all terrestrial vegetation, flowering plants are the most successful land plants on Earth. Researchers have long chalked it up to their flowers, which enlist insects and other animals to help them reproduce and spread. But two plant biologists credit the leaves instead. More leaf veins (right) made the plants better photosynthesizers, say Timothy Brodribb, a hydraulic physiologist at the University of Tasmania in Australia, and Taylor Feild, now at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. "The importance of vein density has never before been so clearly presented," says Peter Wilf, a paleobotanist at Pennsylvania State University, University Park. Read about their compelling data and argument here.

Equifax Breach Brings Up Questions
Disclaimer: A majority of the content in this document has been curated by a representative of Tahlequah Daily Press and was written by Grant D. Crawford. For access to the original content, click the link here.
When browsing the internet, we should all be careful about which sites we enter personal information into in the hopes of avoiding financial identity theft.
When more than 145 million people had some form of personal information exposed after a major credit reporting agency in the U.S. was hacked, Americans were left scrambling to secure their sensitive information.
The Equifax Breach
Equifax, which collects personal data – like Social Security numbers, birth dates, credit card numbers, and addresses – announced in 2017 that an unidentified hacker group gained access to a large portion of its data. That again brought up the question of how people can protect themselves from identity theft.
Equifax is one of the three largest credit reporting agencies in the country; the other two are Experian and TransUnion. With millions of people being affected by the latest breach, some might not want to trust the agencies, but there aren't really any options.
"We have no choice," said Cora Lathrop, mortgage loan officer at Cherokee Nation. "I don't think new credit reporting agencies are going to pop up. It's just evolved through the years to these three major ones, and I don't think there's anything we as consumers can do about that, because wherever we have credit, it's going to report to those major credit reporting agencies, whether you pay it or not."
Who Is At Risk of Identity Theft?
Anyone who owns a credit card or enters their personal information online is subject to a data breach that may lead to their identity being stolen. There are other ways to have financial identities stolen, besides the massive hacking breach like the one on Equifax. Online activity can often leave users susceptible to scammers and frauds.
"What I have found, especially with elderly, when they're playing on the computer, they'll click on all these links, not knowing that it's a bogus link that will attach malware," said Lathrop. "Then you have young people who are on social media all the time. They're susceptible because everything they know and own is in that phone. If it gets hacked, all of their identification is gone."
Entering personal information like credit card numbers or Social Security numbers into questionable sites can leave folks at risk of identity theft. Consumers should also be leery of people who call and claim to be with the IRS.
"We have a lot of people who get scam phone calls claiming to be the IRS, saying 'you owe us money,'" said Wright. "I get that call all the time. The IRS is never going to call you. They're always going to send you a letter in the mail."
For those who are at risk of having their financial identities stolen, data breach security solutions like confidential shredding services can help prevent fraud.
Identity theft is back to being the number one type of fraud reported in the U.S. most of which occur due to a data breach that gives hackers access to your personal information. Data breaches are on the rise and have been affecting millions of Americans in a severe way. Fortunately, there are precautions you can take to protect your identity and personal data. Take a look below at some of the ways you can keep your private information private.
#1 Freeze Your Credit
Lauren Wright, assistant professor of criminal justice at Northeastern State University, said a credit freeze might be the best move.
"The industry is not super-excited about that, but that's something a lot of people are doing now," said Wright. " Basically what it is, you pay $10 and they freeze your credit report for however long you want it to be frozen, so no one can access your credit report. If someone was trying to steal your information, all of the big things they would do with it, they can't do, because your credit is frozen."
Wright said it would probably be best to call each of the three credit agencies to freeze assets. A downside to freezing one's credit, though, is that the person would have to unfreeze it if he or she wanted to make a purchase.
#2 Use Credit Monitoring Services
Consumers can also pay for a credit monitoring service that alerts you anytime there's any sort of activity on your account.
Equifax has started offering free credit monitoring for a year, and while that will keep people up to date on activity in their accounts for now, in a year, those customers might not be able to afford credit monitoring.
"One of the big problems is that we don't know who has this information, where it's going and what they're doing with it; if it's ever going to be used at all or if it's going to be used 20-30 years down the line," said Wright. "So I have this year of credit monitoring for free because my stuff was hacked, but what if it's not a year? What if they wait 20 years to try and steal my information?"
Instead of paying for a credit monitoring service, people can also carefully pay attention to their accounts. Oftentimes, identity thieves will start by taking out small amounts of money from accounts. Once they realize the person hasn't acknowledged small charges here and there, they'll begin making larger transactions.
"It's a matter of being smart and conscious about what you're doing," said Lathrop. "These people who steal your identity are very smart, or else they wouldn't know how to do that. So as smart as we can be, there's going to be somebody who comes up with a new idea to try and trap us."
#3 Avoid Public Wi-Fi
Your data is extremely vulnerable when you access sensitive information through an open or public Wi-Fi network. While it may be convenient to quickly check your bank account on Starbucks' Wifi connection, it's not very safe and definitely not secure. Whatever activity you make on your device while hooked up to public Wifi can be found and used by hackers. Fraudsters do this by gaining access to your name, date of birth, and login credentials for several apps, including those with your SSN and credit card information.
To protect yourself from becoming a victim of identity theft, use a virtual private network to keep your private information safe. A virtual private network, better known as a VPN, is a data encryption software that hides your identity, online activity, and communications from unwanted persons. With your IP address hidden, you can continue using your device on public networks while maintaining your privacy.
#4 Keep Up-To-Date on Your Software
Software updates are often recommended due to issues being experienced by other users. When an update becomes available, it's important not to ignore it. We know it can be an inconvenience to stop what you're doing and sit through a software update, but it could save you from being a victim of identity theft.
When an organization finds a flaw in its security or operating systems, it will work out a solution and release it to its users. However, until the patch is installed by the user, their information is left vulnerable. So, be sure to update your software as soon as it recommends one.
#5 Educate Yourself on Protection Protocols
One of the best methods of protection is education. With the tools and resources to protect yourself, you'll be better equipped to deal with a case of identity theft should one ever arise. We recommend visiting the Federal Trade Commission for more information about identity theft and how to protect personal information.
Securely Shred Your Documents to Protect Your Identity

Aspirants demand arrest of fmr APPSC chairman, others; seek exam by UPSC
ITANAGAR, 27 Nov: Hardening their stance over the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) paper leak scam, aggrieved aspirants, under the aegis of the Pan-Arunachal Joint Steering Committee-APPSC (PAJSC-APPSC) on Sunday demanded that the government ensure immediate arrest of the then APPSC chairman Nipo Nabam, secretary Jayanta Kumar Ray and other officials, and the member secretaries, accusing them of being involved in the scam.
Addressing journalists during a press conference at the Arunachal Press Club, PAJSC-APPSC member Rakpi Bagra sought to justify why the former APPSC chairman should be arrested.
"In the 2014-'15 paper leak issue, he was member secretary. He became chairman at the end of 2017, and all this fiasco happened under his chairmanship," Bagra said.
Holding Nabam responsible for the scam, she added that "he is accountable and that's why the steering committee is demanding his arrest."
She asked the investigating agencies why Nabam has not yet been interrogated by the Special Investigation Cell (SIC) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding his role in the paper leak scam.
Stating that they have lost faith in the SIC and the CBI "as there is no transparency and accessibility in the investigation," the PAJSC-APPSC members demanded a judicial probe, "monitored by the high court and the Enforcement Directorate, alongside the CBI and the SIC."
The aggrieved aspirants reiterated that they would sit for the examination only if it is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), saying that they have lost faith in the APPSC. They also urged the government to ensure that no exam is conducted until the investigation into the current scam is over.
"We will boycott any exam being conducted by the commission if our demands are not met," a PAJSC-APPSC member added.
The committee further demanded that, if the APPSC conducts an examination, and even if a single instance of malpractice is found therein, the exam must be declared null and void and re-conducted.
The PAJSC-APPSC said it has submitted a 13-point demand to the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union and the All Nyishi Students' Union, seeking their support.
Among the other demands of the PAJSC-APPSC is "immediate recall of three state government officials posted under the APPSC, and checking of their background."
The committee said that, if the government does not meet its demands, it would demand compensation of Rs 5 lakhs each for the aggrieved aspirants who have been affected by the scam.

Amrah bint Abdur Rahman was amongst the greatest of the female Successors, the generation that came after that of the Companions of the Prophet. She was a scholar, a jurist, and a specialist in prophetic traditions (hadith). The great Caliph Umar b. 'Abdul 'Aziz used to say: "If you want to learn hadith go to Amrah." Imam Zuhri, who is credited with compiling the first systematically edited compilation of hadith, would recommend: "Go to Amrah, she is a vast vessel of hadith."
During that time, the Judge of Medina ruled in a case involving a Christian thief from Syria who had stolen something. The judge had ordered that his hand be severed. When Amrah bint Abdur Rahman heard of this decision, she immediately told one of her students to go tell the judge that he cannot sever the man's hand because he had stolen something whose value was less than a single gold coin. As soon as he heard what Amrah had said, he ordered that the man be released, unharmed. He did not question her authority, nor did he seek a second opinion from other scholars who were quite numerous in Medina at the time. This incident is recorded in the compilation of Imam Malik, and this ruling is also his opinion in such cases.
One of the great Successors, Umm Darda taught in both Damascus in the great Umayyad Mosque and in Jerusalem. Her class was attended by imams, jurists, and hadith scholars. The powerful Caliph Abdul Malik b. Marwan, who ruled an empire stretching from Spain to India, had a teaching license from Abdullah b. Umar, who was considered the greatest jurist of his time in Medina. When 'Abdullah reached old age, the people asked him: "Who should we seek religious verdicts from after you?" He replied: "Marwan has a son (Abdul Malik), who is a jurist so ask him." Hence, Abdul Malik was endorsed by Abdullah. This same Abdul Malik b. Marwan would attend the classes of Umm Darda, willingly and without reserve, learning from her. Furthermore, he would humbly serve her. It has been recorded that when Umm Darda was teaching and it was time to go to the mosque for prayers, she would lean on the shoulder of Abdul Malik b. Marwan due to her advanced age. He would then help her return to her place of teaching after the prayer. The fact that these women taught men who were themselves regarded as great scholars indicates the respect and status they had attained.
The mosque of the Prophet, peace be upon him, is undoubtedly one of the most sacred places in Islam, and his blessed grave is even more sacred. Around the beginning of the eighth century of the Muslim calendar, Fatima bint Ibrahim b. Jowhar lived and taught. She was a famous teacher of Bukhari, under whom both Imams Dhahabi and Subqi studied the entirety of Sahih Bukhari. When she came for the Pilgrimage (Hajj) her fame was such that as soon as the students of hadith heard that she had reached Medina, they requested her to teach in the Mosque of the Prophet. Ibn Rushayd al-Subki, who traveled from Morocco, describes one of her classes thus: "She was sitting in front of the blessed head of Prophet, peace upon him, and [due to her advanced years] she would lean on his grave. She would finish by writing and signing the license to transmit her narrations, personally, for all of the hadiths that were read by every student present."
This story and similar ones make it clear that women have taught some of the most esteemed male scholars and did so in the best of mosques. Pathetically, today there are debates as to whether women can even come to the mosque for prayer! This is an indication of our ignorance of our own Islamic heritage, and of our digression from the practices of our pious predecessors.
Ayesha bint Abdul Hadi used to teach in the grand mosque of Damascus. She was appointed by the Sultan of that time as the Master of Hadith and taught the compilation of Imam Bukhari. No man in the entire community could compare to her scholarly authority. Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani, considered by many to be the greatest of all latter day hadith scholars, traveled to Damascus and studied more than one hundred books with her. Today, it would be difficult to find a "shaykh" who even knows the names of her books, to say nothing of having read them. In addition to her intellectual acumen, her chain of narration in hadith is regarded as the strongest from her generation back to the Prophet. Between her and Imam Bukhari are eight transmitters, and between Imam Bukhari and the Prophet there are variously, three, four or five transmitters. No other chain of narrators allows one to reach the Prophet with an equal or smaller number of narrators.
If we consider the great role of women such as Hafsah, may God be pleased with her and her father, in the compilation of the Qur'an, and the role of women like Ayesha bint Abdul Hadi in preserving and accurately conveying hadith, it is clear that the two most fundamental sources of our religion have been secured with the aid and blessing of women.
Fatima al-Juzdani, a great scholar from Isfahan in present-day Iran, read one of the great books of hadith, Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabeer, with Abu Bakr b. Rida, who himself studied the entirety of the book with its author, Imam Tabarani. This book has been published in thirty-seven volumes (unfinished). After mastering the book, she subsequently taught it many times. Not a single scholar alive today has studied this book, or even part of it with a teacher.
During the golden age of hadith, when the development of hadith literature and teaching was at its peak and caused societal reformation, there was a woman in Syria who was also known for her scholarship and the powerful positive influence she had on society. She helped in the reformation of communities in Damascus and Cairo by enjoining good and forbidding evil. Ibn Kathir, the student of Ibn Taymiyya, has written in his highly acclaimed work of history, Al-Bidaya w'al-Nihaya: "She reformed society by enjoining good and forbidding evil; she accomplished what men are unable to do, that is to say, she did more than the male scholars of her time." This testimony was written by a man. Hence, no one can say it is the biased opinion of a woman, and thereby question its authenticity. This was a golden age full of proactive, confident, and talented women.
Hisham b. Urwah b. Zubair was the teacher of Imam Malik, Abu Hanifa, Sufyaan al-Thawri, Saeed Qahtan, and is acknowledged as a great hadith scholar of that era. The most reliable hadiths narrated by him, found in both Bukhari and Muslim, are those he narrates from his wife, Fatima bint Mundhir. Sadly, many Muslim men today would not marry a woman more knowledgeable than themselves. The men of our past would proudly marry and learn from erudite women.
One of the best compilations in Hanafi fiqh is the masterpiece Badaya' al- Sanaaya' by Imam Kasani, whose wife was Fatima al-Samarqandiyya, daughter of Ala'addin al-Samarqandi. This book is a commentary on Tuhfa al-Fuqaha' written by the latter. Fatima was a great expert in hadith and other religious sciences. Imam Kasani's students narrate: "We saw our teacher at times would leave the classroom when he could not answer a certain difficult question. After a while he would return to elucidate the answer in great detail. Only later on did we learn that he would go home to put the same question to his wife in order to hear her explanation." Clearly, he respected, and relied on the scholarship of his wife.
Not only were women scholars allowed to give binding religious verdicts (fatwas), but if they differed with their male contemporaries there would be absolutely no objections concerning their pronouncements. This was apparent from the earliest period. Illustrative of this is the opinion of Fatima bint Qais, who said that a husband need not provide support for his irrevocably divorced wife during her period of waiting. She based her opinion on a narration from the Prophet. Despite the fact that Umar and other senior Companions disagreed with her, based on their understanding of a verse in the Quran, they did not question her faith, impose sanctions on her, or prevent her from continuing to narrate the hadith and issuing her fatwa. This incident is interesting in that it presents the opinion of a woman that advances a ruling that is not deemed favorable to women. In so doing, she opposes an opinion advanced by men that is deemed favorable to women. If this incident had occurred in our times it would have surely been the point of much contention and discussion.
The above are just some of the evidence that establishes the enormous contribution of women to the Islamic scholarly enterprise. The book from which the examples are excerpted contains many more arguments and can be found at www.interfacepublications.com. I hope that this article empowers us to ensure that women be accorded the status and dignity conferred on them by God, and acknowledged and acted upon by our pious predecessors. The positive perception and respect of women was based on the example and inspiration they received from our exemplary prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him.

На Летни олимпийски игри 2008 в Пекин Фелпс се класира да се състезава в 8 плувни дисциплини, печели 8 златни медала, поставя 7 световни рекорда и бие този рекорд. На световното първенство в Рим през 2009 година печели 5 златни и един сребърен медал.

В Лондон през 2012 г. става първият плувец, който защитава олимпийската си титла два пъти, след като печели състезанието на 200 м съчетано плуване за трети път след Атина 2004 и Пекин 2008. , С участието си на Олимпийските игри в Лондон през 2012 г., Майкъл Фелпс спечелва 4 златни и два сребърни медала, с което подобрява рекорда за най-много медали за всички времена, поставен от Лариса Латинина (18) през 1964 г.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's attempts to raise the alarm about Russian interference in American elections was thwarted by White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, who told her not to bring up the subject with President Donald Trump, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Mulvaney made it clear that Trump viewed any public talk of malign Russian election activity with questions about the legitimacy of his victory and thus did not want the subject discussed.
Even though the Department of Homeland Security has the main responsibility for civilian cyberdefense and Nielsen was extremely concerned about Russia's interference in the 2018 midterm elections and future ones, she gave up on attempts to organize a White House meeting of cabinet secretaries to coordinate a strategy to protect next year's elections due to Trump's attitude.
Nielsen's frustrations were described to the Times by three senior administration officials and a former one, with the White House refusing to provide comment.
Nielsen grew so frustrated with Trump's refusal to discuss an overall strategy that she twice held her own top-level meetings on the subject.
KIEV (Reuters) – When the Ukrainian president played by actor Volodymyr Zelenskiy faces a corrupt parliament in his TV comedy, he fantasizes about blasting them all away with two submachine guns.
Now that Zelenskiy has been elected president in real life, Margarita Bulava, who voted for him, hopes he will have a similarly transformative effect on the country's politics.
One of Zelenskiy's biggest challenges will be meeting the expectations of voters like 28-year-old event hostess Bulava, who had never voted before last Sunday's presidential election. Now she has an ambitious wish-list.
There should be no inflation. People like her mother, who works in a laundry in Poland, should stop needing to move abroad for better paid jobs. There should be peace with Russia. Wages should be higher, and pensioners should be able to afford their heating bills without having to sell flowers in the subway.
"It's a huge plus that he has never been in politics because he is completely from another sphere. He sees the situation in the country through the eyes of the people," said Bulava.
But what if the new president fails to deliver? "It's very scary if really none of this succeeds because expectations are really very big and everyone believes that something really should happen," she said after working out at her gym in Kiev.
A comedian and actor with no prior political experience, Zelenskiy, 41, beat incumbent Petro Poroshenko by a landslide, promising change to a country at war with Russian-backed forces and facing some of the worst poverty in Europe.
In a wildly successful election campaign, Zelenskiy remained vague on some key policy questions, trading on the image of the honest everyman he plays on TV: a schoolteacher who accidentally becomes president after a rant about corruption filmed by one of his students goes viral.
But his outsider status may hamper his ability to deliver on his promises, especially early in his presidency when he has no lawmakers representing his party in parliament.
And if he disappoints voters early on, that could make the problem worse, hurting his new party's prospects going into October parliamentary elections that will determine the make-up of the cabinet with which he must share power.
Zelenskiy's vague positions on the campaign trail won him support from a wide array of voters who wanted to see new faces in politics. But that makes his popularity "fragile", said Agnese Ortolani, an analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
His support "could dissipate quickly when it comes to making decisions that could alienate part of his constituency," Ortolani said.
An April survey by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) highlighted two issues in particular that are high on voters' wishlists. Thirty-nine percent of Ukrainians expect Zelenskiy to cut their heating bills in his first 100 days in charge, and 35 percent expect him to act on an election pledge to strip lawmakers of their immunity from prosecution.
On heating tariffs, Zelenskiy is likely to face the same painful choice as his predecessors. Raising them will antagonize voters but lowering them risks derailing Ukraine's $3.9 billion aid program from the International Monetary Fund, which has demanded Kiev allow gas prices to rise to market levels.
For now, the question is mainly in the hands of the cabinet, picked by parliament, rather than Zelenskiy.
Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman see-sawed on the issue, first agreeing to raise tariffs early in his term in 2016 but then stalling on further increases. When the need for IMF loans became acute, he agreed to raise them last October.
Zelenskiy called on Wednesday for the government to lower gas prices within days. Bonds fell after Zelenskiy's statement.
If his party wins the parliamentary election, and a Zelenskiy-picked government takes charge, the need for new IMF loans might box him into raising prices again.
As for stripping lawmakers of their immunity, it was the sort of proposal aimed at cleaning out politics that won over voters such as bar owner Oleksiy Kostenyuk.
"In my opinion, this will change our parliament radically. Those who break the law will go away, those who earn money illegally will go away, and we will get a new type of politician," Kostenyuk said.
Zelenskiy promised to introduce the necessary legislation but parliament may not play ball. Volodymyr Ariev, a lawmaker in Poroshenko's faction, the largest in the chamber, told Reuters he did not expect such a move to succeed because politicians fear being prosecuted in political vendettas.
Sooner or later, political reality will puncture the image of Zelenskiy's straight-shooting TV persona, Ariev said.
@limbaugh says @JoeBiden is @DNC best chance at beating @realDonaldTrump … but he has no chance because of Lefty Dems #MagaFirstNews W/@PeterBoykin Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that former Vice President Joseph Biden is the Democrats' best chance to defeat President Trump in e going to sit well with the rest of this party, which has gone so far left," Limbaugh said on "The Story with Martha MacCallum." Limbaugh also said Biden may not be fully … See More committed to running in 2020. Biden's long-awaited 2020 presidential bid announcement has been pushed back from Wednesday to Thursday Bernie Sanders' call to let prisoners vote sparks heated debate – and an about-face from a rival From Meghan McCain and Whoopi Goldbergon "The View" to Cher on Twitter, 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders caused quite a stir when he said during a CNN town hall Monday that convicted criminals in prison, including Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and rapists, should be allowed to vote. McCain seemed flabbergasted that Goldberg agreed with Sanders. Cher, an unapologetic celebrity liberal icon, blasted Sanders so thoroughly on Twitter that Donald Trump Jr. welcomed her to the Republican Party. The backlash appears to have caused potential 2020 rival, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., to rethink her views. After initially saying "we should have that conversation" about allowing criminals currently in prison to vote, Harris appeared to be backtracking, saying Tuesday that criminals such as murderers and terrorists should be deprived of their right to vote. Video White House fights Democrats' subpoenas, requests for Trump's tax records The White House will fight House Democrats' subpoena of testimony and documents from ex-White House counsel Don McGahn, Fox News is told — and almost immediately, House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y, characterized the move as "one more act of obstruction" by the Trump administration. The brewing fight over the McGahn subpoena was poised to set up a series of other contentious legal showdowns as Democrats seek to publicly question more current and former Trump aides who were featured prominently in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation. In addition, Carl Kline, a former White House personnel security director subpoenaed by Democrats, did not show up Tuesday for a scheduled deposition. To make matters worse between Democrats and the Trump White House, the administration defied a demand from Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., to turn over six years of Trump's tax returns. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin asked for more time and said he would give the panel a final decision by May 6. Hillary Clinton: Anyone other than Trump would have been indicted for obstruction Wall Street hopes for momentum after a super Tuesday All eyes will be on Wall Street on Wednesday after stocks closed at a new all-time high on Tuesday, as better-than-expected quarterly profits from some of the largest companies encouraged investors. The S&P 500 hit an all-time high, marking the stock market's complete recovery from a nosedive at the end of last year. The benchmark index's previous record was set last September, shortly before the market sank in the fourth quarter amid fears of a recession, an escalating trade war between the U.S. and China, and concern the Federal Reserve was moving too aggressively to raise interest rates. Still, shares were mostly lower in Asia on Wednesday as the rally on Wall Street ran out of steam. Investors seemed unswayed by the S&P 500's performance. What is … another new 'Jeopardy!' record? "Jeopardy!" champ James Holzhauer has just broken another record. On Tuesday's episode, the 34-year-old surpassed $1 million in the shortest time ever. His $118,816 win put his total take at $1,061,554 million after 14 games. This is the third separate record Holzhauer has shattered since he started competing on the game show. Last Wednesday, he won the episode with a total of $131,127, topping the one-day record he set earlier in his run of $110,914.
SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Equity markets in Asia rose on Wednesday morning after upbeat earnings helped the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes reach record closing highs on Wall Street overnight, while oil retreated from its near six-month highs.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.1 percent in early trade in Asia. The gains followed a strong performance on Wall Street, driven by robust results from Coca-Cola, Twitter, United Technologies and Lockheed Martin.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.52 percent to 26,647.97, the S&P 500 gained 0.91 percent to 2,934.31 and the Nasdaq Composite added 1.35 percent to 8,123.25.
On Wednesday morning, S&P 500 e-mini stock futures were up 0.03 percent at 2,938.75, just short of a record high of 2,944.75 on October 3.
Australian shares gained 0.6 percent, while Japan's Nikkei stock index was 0.3 percent higher. Seoul's Kospi was up 0.1 percent.
Analyst said that alongside better-than-feared corporate earnings, a more supportive policy environment is helping to boost risk appetites.
"The Fed has been joined in its dovish tilt by major central banks across the globe … the tilt globally reflects genuine concern not to allow individual countries and the globe to tip into recession. That risk has receded," Greg McKenna, strategist at McKenna Macro in Australia, said in a note to clients.
Equity market gains had been bolstered on Tuesday by rising energy shares after Brent crude, the global benchmark, hit its highest level since Nov. 1.
Oil prices had surged after the United States ended six months of waivers that allowed Iran's eight biggest buyers, most of them in Asia, to continue importing limited volumes of Iranian oil.
Gulf OPEC members said that rather than offset any shortfall resulting from the U.S. decision on waivers, they would raise output only if there was demand.
But early on Wednesday, Brent had given up some gains, trading down 0.54 percent at $74.11 per barrel. U.S. crude dipped 0.54 to $65.94 a barrel.
U.S. Treasury yields ticked lower. Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes yielded 2.5686 percent compared with a U.S. close of 2.57 percent on Tuesday, while the two-year yield, slipped to 2.3516 percent, compared with a U.S. close of 2.364 percent.
The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major rivals, eased 0.03 percent to 97.606. The dollar was down 0.04 percent against the yen to 111.82.
The euro edged 0.08 percent lower to buy $1.1216.
Spot gold fell about 0.1 percent to $1,271.07 per ounce.
(Reuters) – American middle class consumers are enjoying the strongest wage growth in a decade, but higher gasoline prices are eating a good chunk of that increase for many, and it looks like pump prices are headed higher.
Gasoline pump prices have already jumped about 25% this year, the fastest rate in three years. Trump administration sanctions against Iranian crude oil exports had something to do with that, and this week's move to tighten sanctions could soon send prices even higher.
Crude oil prices hit their highest in about six months on Tuesday.
Some analysts expect the national average pump price, currently near $2.85 a gallon, will climb above $3 a gallon for the first time since 2014. Few goods prices aggravate U.S. consumers as much as high gasoline prices.
Zandi and other analysts said higher gasoline prices would irritate U.S. motorists heading into the summer driving season, but they do not think a moderate fuel price hike would force people to cut spending in other areas.
For now, consumer spending has remained resilient, with wages growing in a tight job market. Average hourly earnings in the private sector are rising at roughly 3.2% year over year, the strongest in a decade.
Those bigger paychecks helped pay for costlier gasoline after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allied producers including Russia reduced output to prop up prices. Retail prices for regular gasoline have risen around 55 cents a gallon so far this year from $2.30 at end of 2018, according to AAA, an automotive advocacy group.
"So far it hasn't been a particularly large headwind for U.S. consumers," said Matt Luzzetti, senior economist at Deutsche Bank AG.
The Trump administration called for buyers of Iranian oil to stop purchases by May 1 or face sanctions, ending six months of waivers that allowed Iran's eight biggest buyers to keep importing limited volumes.
Analysts noted that U.S. domestic crude production is surging and said higher output from OPEC and Russia could help offset losing about 1 million barrels per day of Iranian oil from world markets. But sources on Tuesday said Gulf OPEC members were ready to raise output only if they saw sufficient demand.
Some U.S. consumers are already paying $3 a gallon at the pump, and will feel the squeeze if prices rise further. In February, filling a 25.5 gallon tank of a sports utility vehicle with regular gasoline would have cost around $57 on average. That has risen to nearly $73, based on government data.
For a $15-an-hour employee working 35 hours a week, filling up once a week now costs 14% of gross pay, up from less than 11% just 10 weeks ago.
"I'm hyper-aware of the gas pricing," said Brittany Trotter, a part-time driver for Lyft Inc based in Washington, D.C. She said rising fuel costs have cut her profits and stretched her budget.
Even before the latest Iran news, drivers expected rising prices at the pump to cut their income. A survey in March showed consumers expected prices to rise 4.7% over the next year, the largest figure in nine months, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The consumers surveyed expected their wages to rise 2.6% over the year, though earnings growth expectations slipped for people with a high school diploma or less education.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican and Democratic leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee urged the Trump administration to reconsider its plan to cut aid to Central America, warning in a letter released on Tuesday that it could lead to increased Chinese influence.
The State Department said last month it would cut aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras after President Donald Trump sharply criticized them because thousands of their citizens had sought asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico.
"Assistance … is having positive results, and while improvements can be made, we believe that cutting assistance would be counterproductive and lead to increased migration flows to the U.S.," Representatives Eliot Engel, the committee's Democratic chairman, and Michael McCaul, its ranking Republican, said in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Cutting the aid would also raise doubts over the reliability of the United States as a consistent partner and create a void that China and other adversaries will look to fill, they said.
World leaders are meeting in Beijing next week for a summit on China's Belt and Road Initiative, which envisions connecting China with Asia, Europe and beyond with massive infrastructure spending. But it is viewed warily by Washington, which views the program as a way to spread Chinese influence and saddle countries with unsustainable debt.
Several members of Congress, where several lawmakers, including some of Trump's fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, have rejected the plan, saying it was cruel to cut off aid to countries grappling with hunger and crime and more likely to increase the number of migrants than decrease it.
State Department officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter from Engel and McCaul.
Mark Green, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, told a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing earlier this month that the administration had no plan to change its decision until Trump is satisfied that the countries are doing enough to address migration.
Trump has made a hard line on immigration a central theme of his presidency, particularly regarding undocumented newcomers from Latin America via the southern border.

Represented bank as Plaintiff in in case where Plaintiff made a series of loans to borrower, which in the end totaled $12 Million. In 2011 it was discovered that the borrower had overstated its assets by $10.5 Million. The borrower filed for bankruptcy protection and ultimately dissolved. The bank sued the company CFO for negligent misrepresentation, which was covered by the company's D&O policy, and the company's outside accountant and auditor for negligence, which was covered by the professional liability policy. Obtained $2.35 Million settlement for client shortly before trial. The settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The settlement secured the bulk of the available insurance proceeds before coverage was declined and before any criminal charges have been filed. The company CEO subsequently pled guilty to a conspiracy charge.
Represented multiple parties including bank and mortgage company as Defendant in 2 million dollar case where Plaintiffs borrowed $2.9 million in order to purchase a home. The borrowers defaulted in 2009 and after numerous failed attempts to resolve the default, the lender initiated foreclosure proceedings. Borrowers filed suit to declare the mortgage void and for damages related to the collection efforts of the lender. Plaintiffs brought claims for violation of RESPA and the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act. The Plaintiffs challenged the validity of the endorsement on the Note, as it was a successor trustee who was seeking to foreclose. Plaintiffs also challenged the endorsement of the Note to the successor trustee, which endorsement occurred during the litigation. Obtained dismissal of all claims but one on Motion to Dismiss (Plaintiffs later Amended their Petition). Won Judgment for Defendants on all claims following Bench Trial. This enabled the lender to enforce the note and mortgage by foreclosing on the property.

Supreme Court allows VA curfew to continue
The Supreme Court refused to consider a case against a Charlottesville, Virginia curfew and thereby allowed it to remain in effect. The curfew was midnight to 5 a.m. weekdays and 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays — for anyone under 17.
A federal appeals court previously ruled that the city, "was constitutionally justified in believing that its curfew would materially assist its first stated interest — that of reducing juvenile violence and crime." The court also added that the curfew serves to protect children and supports parental efforts to discipline their children.
The curfew's many exceptions possibly influenced the Supreme Court. Charlottesville officials specifically pointed out that their curfew had more exceptions that other city curfews, such as the one in Washington, DC, which had been ruled unconstitutional.
The Charlottesville curfew, which took effect in early 1997, contains exceptions for minors accompanied by a parent or on an errand for a parent and in possession of an explanatory note, or attending various school, religious or civic activities.
More importantly, exceptions also exist for minors working or commuting to or from work during those hours, or for minors "exercising First Amendment rights … such as the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech and the right of assembly."
Therefore, the Supreme Court may have indirectly indicated that only curfews with a First Amendment exception are constitutional. If your city's curfew does not include the exception, it may be unconstitutional.
Even without the exception, you may still have a First Amendment right to protest the curfew at any time. You can use our stickers to force the courts to decide if the First Amendment exception allows you to protest the curfew.
We would have preferred that the Supreme Court rule that the curfew, even with the exception, is not Constitutional. However, the Supreme Court ruling does not discourage us because the Charlottesville curfew allows people under 17 to exercise their First Amendment rights..
