The crucifixion of Jesus, as strong an act of love as it was, means little without the resurrection. This blog is longer than I usually make them, but I hope you'll stick it out to the end and get some revelation with me. Let me give you a few details of crucifixion. This was a preferred method of punishment by the roman empire that was inflicted on countless people. The idea of this method of death was to inflict the most pain and humiliation possible. Crucifixion was a style of death that was so degrading that in fact you had to be a slave, peasant, lower class, commit certain horrible crimes, or non-roman to even be given this type of death sentence.
Flogging and scourging was done before EVERY crucifixion. I won't go into the details of what flogging entailed, most of us know, but let's just say, pain, lots of pain. They planned on beating criminals to the point of near death before their ultimate humiliation and death.
After the flogging and scourging they were tied to the cross bar part of the cross (75-125 lbs) to carry to the crucifixion site. At this point a roman soldier would carry a sign to be nailed to the cross soon, that stated what the criminal was being punished for. It's not shocking that Jesus sign said, "This is Jesus, King of the Jews"
Do you realize that even during His punishment they couldn't actually assign a crime to Him? It was common for these signs to say the sinner's name, and then their crime. For instance "Jessika Tate, murderer" or "Jessika Tate, adulterer" etc. Now I'm just sharing my opinion here, but of all the things that they accused Jesus of, shouldn't the sign read, "This is Jesus, Blasphemer" ? ? ? Even as they tried to assign a sin to blame Him of, they were unable to ever actually attach it to Him! This should bring new understanding to Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.... Why is it our heritage? Notice this is right after Isaiah 53. It is our heritage because Jesus first set the precedence. I won't go off on that today, maybe another day!!
It was the criminal's job to carry his cross, but Jesus had been beaten so brutally that the guard had simon the cyrene help. This shows the enormity of Jesus' beating and injuries compared to the normal abuse.
Are you getting what I'm saying? Though many had been crucified before and many more to come. Jesus crucifixion was already different. There's much more information I could share, but I want to get to the point. Though all of this made Jesus' death different, it still means nothing without a resurrection.
On the third day something supernatural occurred. Jesus resurrected. A cross without a resurrection is just another crucifixion.
There's more scriptures than I can fit in this blog on our dying and resurrecting with Him, but there's a few in particular that catch my attention in Hebrews both chapters 6 and 10, but I"ll just focus on 10. Basically it says we know that Jesus died for our sins, so that we might be cleansed then it says... "For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment..." and then... "How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?"
Jesus took a brutal death, He hung on a cross, He defeated death and sin when He had not sinned and therefore did not deserve death ("for the wage of sin is death"), and why? Two reasons. 1) God loves us. 2) God hates sin.
The fact that Jesus bore it all for us and made the way for us, does not stop God from hating sin. What Jesus did was provide a way that I (a person with a flesh that sins) could still go spend time with my Daddy and instead of God having to be upset because He hates my sin, instead He sees the blood of Jesus which covers sin.
What am I saying? May we take up the call to be crucified and resurrected with Jesus. May our flesh die and the Spirit of the living God rise up because though I am blameless in the sight of God because of Jesus' righteousness, God still hates sin. Hebrews says that I can trample under foot the very Son of God, it says that I can INSULT the Spirit of grace.
May we understand what Jesus did in His death, and may we grow in understanding of the power of His resurrection. Never forgetting that we cannot have Christianity without Christ. Religion without the resurrection is powerless.
IT IS THE RESURRECTION THAT GIVES US POWER OVER SIN AND DEATH. Jesus Christ defeated sin for us, so that we may no longer sin, He defeated death, so that we might live.
The cry of my heart, "May the Lamb that was slain, receive the reward of His suffering".

StreetSampling es un proyecto cuyo objetivo es documentar la presencia de músicos callejeros en espacios públicos. Desde 2011 Smolicki ha grabado muestras de audio de músicos callejeros encontrados en muchos lugares diferentes de todo el mundo. Usando un software mezcla pequeños fragmentos de estas grabaciones para crear un collage que nunca se repite.
Este trabajo sonoro se presenta en IN-SONORA VIII entre los días 13 – 23 de Marzo en Off Limits, Madrid. Donde habrá también una performance en la cual nos gustaría interactuar con músicos callejeros de Madrid.
Smolicki, conociendo la reciente ley que obliga a los músicos a pasar una prueba si quieren seguir tocando en la calle, quiere que su proyecto esté dedicado especialmente a esos que no tienen permiso para continuar con su actividad. Smolicki quiere dar la bienvenida a los que quieran acudir a un corto taller que tendrá lugar durante la mañana del sábado 22 para tocar, improvisar, introducirse en el trabajo que el artista está desarrollando y juntos preparar la performance que se presentará esa misma noche en Off Limits.
StreetSampling is a project of which aim is to document presence of street musicans in the public space. Since 2011 I Smolicki has been recording audio samples of buskers encountered in many different places around the world. Using computer software he clash short extracts of these recordings together to create a collage-like composition which never repeats itself.
This sound work will be presented within the IN-SONORA VIII between 13-23 March in the Off Limits in Madrid. There will also be a performance in which he would like to interact with local street musicians of Madrid.
Smolicki heard about the new policy introduced lately by the authorities who demand from street performers to go through special exams if they want to remain active on the streets. Thus, the project he would like to dedicate specially to those who have not been given permission to continue their practice. He would like to welcome you to a short workshop on Saturday morning where we could play, improvise, introduce you to the work he has been constructing and together prepare public performance to be shown in the evening that day.
22 de Marzo de 2014 / March 22, 12 – 19h.
22 de Marzo / March 22, 19.30 – 23h.
With the participation of all the street musicians registered at workshop.
Músicos de la calle, interesados en el proyecto StreetSampling de Jacek Smolicki, que puedan asistir el día 22 de Marzo al taller y al evento en Off Limits.
Street Musicians interested in the project StreetSampling of Jacek Smolicki, who can came to the workshop on March 22 and engage in the event.


Tropolis is a culture and travel content publisher that allows you to download, create and share smart city itineraries that go beyond the mainstream.
On this ongoing project I have designed the identity and the website prototype.
The concept behind the diamond shaped mark evoques the idea of a device to use on maps as a pin or compass. As secondary property, the elegant and bold forge could be used as a pattern or as a single element to brand photographic assets.
The prototype is highlighting the sophisticated mechanism that allows the user to get inspired from a library of London venues and generate a custom itinerary.


I really like that the program puts a strong emphasis on writing from the very beginning. That really helps me wrap my head around pronunciation and word order. Having both a native Japanese speaker and a native English speaker speaking in the audio lessons helps to overcome the anxiety that comes with trying to learn a new language.

Entry #024: Friday, July 19, 2013 (Pidwa Wilderness Reserve, South Africa)
Well, it's been an interestingweek. New people, new experiences, decapitation. I tell ya, you never know what's gonna happen. But I might as well start from the beginning. Or at least from Monday. That works too.
Since I'll be heading out to a local scenic spot this weekend, I won't really have the time to work on writing. As such, if I'm going to talk about this week, I gotta do it now, and I gotta do it fast, or else I'll have to wait until Monday, and then I'll have even more I'll have to write, and it's just all a vicious cycle. So let's blaze through what happened this week.
We went to town on Monday, and I brought with me an obsidian rock that I had picked up from Mount Kilimanjaro. I took this in to a jewelry store, gave it to the owner, and told him to see what he could do with shaping/polishing it. Not sure what's going to come out of that, but hey, it'll turn out as something, and I'm interested to see what it will be.
But the big news of the day was that we got three new people coming into the reserve. Two of them were together from England. One of them was a sixteen(!)-year-old boy, and the other was a 51-year-old man who used to be his geography and P.E. teacher, and is now just a family friend. Apparently, the older man was here very briefly last year, though not as a volunteer, but as a family friend to Joe. This time, he wanted to accompany his former student and have the full volunteer experience. I get along with these two quite well. The man, while bristling with that unique brand of crassness you can only get from Brits, is nevertheless quite polite, especially to me (I think likes my general work ethic and general tempered attitude). The boy, meanwhile, seems quite intelligent for his age (more intelligent than some of the other volunteers here), but is also quite respectful. I like it. The third new person was a girl from Holland, who I still haven't gotten enough of a bead on to really come to a conclusion about. But she seems nice enough, though I swear she's malnourished.
Not much else of particular note happened.
You know what, let's just get to the meat of this week. Let's get to...
So, Wednesday was a busy day. It started off fairly normally, with a reserve clean-up. This involved us going to a riverside area and tearing out some barbed wire fences from the ground. While I did get a bit cut up in this process, I must say I got less cut up than a lot of other people. This is not because I wasn't doing my fair share - it's because I was pretty much covered from head-to-toe with clothing. Whereas other people were in t-shirts and shorts, I was in a jacket and pants. Was it hot doing physical labor dressed like that? You bet! I was sweating like nobody's business. But the majority of the barbed wire - and barbed plants, for that matter - were scraping against the clothing than against my skin. In conclusion, I feel sweat is preferable to tetanus.
But anyway, during this activity, we were given an update on the sable antelope that was darted on Saturday. Basically, it was determined that it was going to be killed, because its jaw was basically unfixable, and it had just been lying pathetically on the ground for days. Rather than let it die a slow, torturous death, it was decided to euthanize it. Because El Diablo was still the prize sable on the reserve, John (the owner) wanted to keep the skin and the skull, while the rest could be used as bait to draw out the errant lioness wandering around Langalanga. Everyone had the option to stay in for this particular activity, as it wasn't going to necessarily be the most pleasant one we'd do here. But I didn't even consider that. I paid money for this, dammit, and I wanted to get every experience I could. So after a late lunch, it was time to head out.
When we finally reached the sable, which practically looked dead already, we found Garth, the assistant reserve manager, standing next to it. I was expecting to see some sort of syringes around to inject a poison into the sable, but the only thing I saw was Garth's pistol in its holster. This was going to be an Old Yeller-style euthanizing. Sure enough, after some explanation about the process, and a warning to cover our ears, Garth pulled out his pistol and shot El Diablo twice - once in the heart, once in the neck. The sable was dead; now we just had to move it. When they asked for help to roll it up on its stomach, I volunteered first (something I found myself doing an awful lot that day). We then got a couple poles underneath the body, and with some mighty heaving, lifted it up and carried it to a pickup truck, where it was taken to Pidwa headquarters.
At HQ, it was time to skin the sable. After cutting off some of the skin on it's leg, and hooking the exposed tendon for the body to hang freely, Garth took out his knife and showed us the proper skinning methodology. He then asked for a volunteer. After confirming that he was serious, I went up. I was working on the thing for a good amount of time while others just watched. (Eventually, I think everyone took a shot at it, however brief, but it took a while and a bit of goading.) I think I skinned its entire left hind leg and most of its rear torso. It was definitely not a pleasant job by any stretch of the imagination, but nor was it as disgusting as I thought it was going to be.
(Seeing its stomach cut out, though, was quite disgusting.)
After my turn on the skinning - which was almost cut short every time the sable's fleshless tail nearly poked me in the eyes - we got ready to cut off the head. This was as graphic as you'd imagine. It began with Joe holding the sable's head while Garth took a knife to its neck. Blood everywhere. Once Garth got to a point where his knife wouldn't go anymore, he took out a hacksaw and began sawing off the sable's head. Once he got about halfway through, he asked for a volunteer to finish the job. Can you guess who went up? Yep, after again confirming that he was being serious, I took the tool and began, quite literally, sawing off this animal's head. Now, I don't normally go for this type of thing - I participated in this program because I like animals - but I wanted to get as much of the experience as I could, so I sawed away. Eventually, I got the last few pieces of muscle, and the sable's head came off. It was surreal seeing it on the ground eyes glazed over, tongue slightly sticking out. I ended up taking some pictures with it, not because I wanted to be disrespectful or anything, but because really, when will I be in a situation like this again?
After spreading the skin on the ground and filling it with salt for preservation prior to sending it to the taxidermist, it was time to move the skinned carcass to Langalanga, where the plan was to hang it up on a tree for the lioness to feed upon it, where she'd be either baited back out into her appropriate side or be darted and moved. So, we put it in the back of the pickup truck and drove out to Langalanga. After finding a branch that seemed likely to support the carcass, we got a call from Garth, who had seen the lioness himself. This was our opportunity! So, Joe took out his knife and cut off one of the sable's legs, tying it up with a rope. He needed a volunteer to sit in the back of the pickup truck with the leg and toss it out to act as a lure. Again, I volunteered. Again, when would I ever be doing something like this again? Unfortunately, it all ended up a bit anticlimactic, because when we finally found the lioness, it was determined from her physiology that she was suckling, which meant that she had cubs, which meant that she couldn't be moved until the cubs were old enough to go with here. So, with that bit of partial closure, we drove back to the carcass, finished hoisting it onto the branch, stuffed the leg into whatever open spot we could find, set up a camera trap, and drove off for the night to a well-earned dinner. Whew!
As a spoiler, as of this posting, nothing has touched the carcass. Maybe all the tranquilizers and painkillers pumped into it tainted the meat? In any case, Thursday morning was spent going to the far side of the reserve (in fact, it's not even technically Pidwa, it's Makalali, a reserve which shares some of the same land as Pidwa) to see some hippo. This turned out to be a bit of a letdown, but we also went out searching for a collared cheetah, and while we didn't find her, we were able to use some radio tracking equipment, which was pretty cool.
After lunch, we had to do some tree protection, which basically involves taking a bunch of pointing rocks and making a little rock moat around a tree to keep animals - in particular elephants, who destroy trees and have sensitive feet - from getting to it. In this case, we had to protect a leadwood tree, which actually needed to be protected by South African law. So for basically three or four hours, we were just moving rocks from one place to another.
When driving back from that activity, we came across a large bull elephant in must who was getting too aggressive towards my favorite tree on the entire reserve (yes, it's possible to have a favorite tree). However, it was also getting pretty annoyed with us, and came pretty close for comfort several times. Finally, when we tried to drive away, it actually gave chase. We were never in any real danger of being caught, and before too long it got tired and walked into the bushes, but damn was that tense!
I'm getting tired now, so I'll just note that we were continuing to build stairs for our sable-viewing station (which mainly involved me drilling holes and holding up heavy planks of wood), and that I cooked a mean English-style cottage pie for dinner, which got a bunch of compliments. It was pretty good. Oh, and on Thursday night, a number of folks stayed up until 3am playing drinking games. Today, a couple of them were paying dearly for their decisions, being out-of-commission for most of the day. I'm just surprised they thought they could get away with that on a Thursday.
So, tomorrow after the normal daily activities, I'll be driving with four of the girls to a place called Blyde Canyon for the night and most of Sunday. They have every intention of getting drunk - hell, I think "wasted" is the appropriate word here - while we're staying at the backpacker's lodge. I'm interested to see how this goes...

When you jump on the scales and the figure is the lowest you have been in a good two years, there's only one way to celebrate - meatttttt. Anyway as I was in Leeds for the weekend with Kayleigh, we decided to head to Bryon for some pre night out burgers. If you are a regular reader or social media follower, you may remember that myself and Tor headed to the Liverpool branch while in town for FABB Liverpool. I'll be honest my expectations were high and as per they didn't disappoint.
As tempting as it was to go for the Chilli Burger, prior to a night out I thought this would end in tears, so went for the Cheeseburger with American Cheese, while Kayleigh went for the Skinny Burger as she's not eating bread. Both burgers came medium done, which is fine with me and came really quickly considering the burgers are cooked from fresh.
All in all the Byron experience didn't disappoint, however one thing which annoyed me was the fact that we had to ask three different people for the bill. Now the restaurant wasn't that busy, so no idea where there was such a delay, however we did notice quite a few people complaining about not getting a bill. Regardless Bryon I will be back. Where are your favourite burger places?

A search for supersymmetry in final states with jets and missing transverse energy is performed in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.98 fb(−1) collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In this search, a dimensionless kinematic variable, α T, is used as the main discriminator between events with genuine and misreconstructed missing transverse energy. The search is performed in a signal region that is binned in the scalar sum of the transverse energy of jets and the number of jets identified as originating from a bottom quark. No excess of events over the standard model expectation is found. Exclusion limits are set in the parameter space of the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, and also in simplified models, with a special emphasis on compressed spectra and third-generation scenarios.

Studies find that 2017 tax reform has mixed impacts on homebuying
Fed economists say that tax reform slowed the housing market, and higher-income homebuyers were affected most

by Lew Sichelman |
Who are the winners and losers in the homeownership market after the 2017 tax reform? A trio of studies find that the answer is: "It depends."
Lew Sichelman is a seasoned writer with 50 years of covering the housing and mortgage markets under his belt. His biweekly Inman column publishes on Tuesdays.
Research on behalf of Redfin has found that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 has not had a profound impact on housing, with less than half of all would-be buyers either adjusting their sights lower or moving to places where local state and property taxes are lower.
And now, a new study from John Burns Real Estate Consulting, an advisory firm in the new construction space, has found that aspiring buyers will be more likely to save more for a downpayment and afford a more expensive mortgage as a result of the changes in tax law.
But a third report, this one from economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, suggests that the new rules are impacting the housing sector negatively by causing sales to slow.
The authors Richard Peach and Casey McQuillan cautioned that their findings are "not conclusive." Still, they postulated that the changes in Uncle Sam's tax code that were enacted in December of 2017 "have contributed to the slowing of housing market activity that occurred over the course of 2018."
Specifically, the authors at Liberty Street Economics, a blog that takes its name from the New York Fed's headquarters address in Manhattan's financial district, cited three key tax law changes for the slowdown: the higher cost of capital (i.e., higher mortgage rates, caused by lower marginal tax rates), the $10,000 cap on the deductibility of states and local taxes, and the lower limit on the amount of mortgage debt on which interest payments can be written off.
Peach and McQuillan said that the after-tax cost of a home loan was 3.1 percent prior to the tax law changes. Throw in expected appreciation and the final cost was roughly zero, they said.
But in last year's third quarter, when the top marginal tax rate had dipped from 39.6 percent to 37 percent, the tax savings resulting from itemizing deductions declined by 2.6 percent. At the same time, since property taxes are no longer deductible "at the margin," the effective national median property tax rate had risen from 1.2 percent to 1.7 percent.
"Using these assumptions, our analysis estimates that the user cost of capital to owners increases from 0.1 percent to 2.1 percent, and that a major part of this is due to a 1 percentage point decline in our measure of expected house price appreciation," they wrote.
The economists admitted that their analysis is based on "circumstantial evidence." But the Redfin-commissioned study of 2,000 people who said they plan to purchase a house within the next 12 months found that only 14 percent lowered the price range in which they were house hunting and just 13 percent were heading to greener pastures where the tax bite wasn't as great as where they live now.
Tax reform a mixed bag for homebuyers
At the same time, though, Redfin found a large drop off in the number of folks who thought they were better off because of the tax changes. For example, the percentage of those looking for a higher-priced house because of the new rules fell by more than half, from 17 percent a year ago to 8 percent this spring. And just 11 percent said they actually bought a house because of the benefits of the new law versus 19 percent in the spring of 2018.
"Last year, more homebuyers were worried that tax reform would hurt their budgets, but it turns out tax reform wasn't all bad or all good," Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather said in a press statement.
"Some homebuyers, especially in low-tax states, are now paying less in taxes overall, which has left them with more cash for a more expensive home. For others, not being able to deduct as much of their property taxes or mortgage interest from their taxable income was the other shoe that needed to drop to make them pick up and move to a more affordable area."
Though many complain that the tax code changes tend to benefit the wealthiest, Redfin found that the biggest losers were high-income buyers, with 61 percent of those earning $150,000 or more impacted in their searches — including 16 percent who are looking at houses in lower price ranges.
Said Fairweather: "In the long run, we will see demand for luxury homes in high-tax states suffer the most because those homes have been hit the hardest by this tax reform, and there's actually early evidence of that already happening."
Meanwhile, the latest report from the Irvine, California-based Burns consulting firm says that both renters and owners now have more adjustable disposable income because the former pay $2,716 less in taxes on average and the latter pay $1,508 less.
Tax reform likely to boost first-time buying
Consequently, landlords are able to charge higher rents, forcing the hands of tenants who have the means to buy, senior research analyst Taylor Nichols and senior manager Kate Seabaugh said. At the same time, those aspiring to own will be better able to save a down payment and afford a more expensive mortgage.
"To be clear, just because most people received a boost in disposable income doesn't mean that they will use that money to rent a nicer place or purchase a home," Taylor and Seabaugh warned. But they believe that the entry-level sector will outperform all others.
"Renters who have been saving to purchase have gotten some help with their endeavor, and we will see more of them purchase homes in 2019 and beyond," they wrote. "Homeowners buying at these prices points haven't benefitted from housing tax policy in years."
They also suggested that more people in expensive parts of the country "who were considering renting or moving to more affordable areas are more likely to do so now."

Has Kanye West's 2014 European tour been cancelled?
Kanye West's European fans might have to wait a little longer to see the Yeezus Tour.
Kanye West's European fans might have to wait a little longer to see the Yeezus Tour. It was meant to hit EU shores in June for an eleven date run set to conclude with two UK headline sets at the Wireless festival in Birmingham and London, but its starting to look like that's not going to happen.
While there's yet to be an official statement, German promoter Mark Lieberberg took to his personal website to say the tour has been delayed due to "Production Problems". If true, his Wireless Festival appearances will probably have to be cancelled outright, while the planned arena shows will most likely be rescheduled.
We've reached out to Wireless Festival to see if the story is accurate.


Now where can I get an Kavatar in this Kland ?
Gravatars are really awesome, and I know how to do them on my end (no technical achievement – to be sure).
But I have not yet obtained a great selfie.
My human pests (er – pets) take pics of me constantly – when I am SLEEPING.
I freely admit that is like 23-1/2 hours of every day.
But still, I deserve better. I have a wonderful smile.
Oh yes, these human pets. I know them. They're always taking pics except when they should be taking them!

Antibiotics are 'avoidable trigger' for bowel disease: Study
Published : Oct 27, 2018, 11:44 am IST
Updated : Oct 27, 2018, 11:44 am IST
This study helps explain the link through understanding the biological processes involved.
It is very important that patients continue their antibiotics as these drugs are critical in clearing bacterial infections that can persist and cause serious health problems.
London: Scientists have shown for the first time how antibiotics can predispose the gut to avoidable infections that trigger bowel disease in mice.
The researchers from The University of Manchester in the UK also showed that substances derived from fibre prevent this damage to the gut, suggesting a high fibre diet could be useful when taken during and after a course of antibiotics.
The study, which appears in the journal Science Translational Medicine, tested broad spectrum antibiotics on mice to assess their impact on the gut's microbiota, the community of microbes that live in the gastrointestinal tract.
After a week long course of antibiotics, a harmful immune reaction started that lasted at least two months, an equivalent of many years in humans, said the researchers.
The immune reaction meant that significantly fewer beneficial bacteria which make 'short chain fatty acids', which are good for the gut, grew back.
However, short chain fatty acids, produced by the fermentation of dietary fibre by the microorganisms which live in the gut, could prevent the harmful immune response.
"Epidemiological evidence already links antibiotics given to babies and young children, when the immune system is still developing, to inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases later in life," said Elizabeth Mann from The University of Manchester.
"However, until now it has been hard to determine cause and effect, especially with the time lag between taking the antibiotics and the development of disease later in life," she said.
"Inflammatory bowel disease in particular has multiple causes but one of the triggering factors in many people has been infections such as Salmonella or E coli," said Mann.
"We show that after antibiotics, mice are more susceptible to these types of infections, and do not mount the proper immune response to clear the infection," she said.
The gut is the largest source of bacteria in the body, where trillions of harmless bacteria critical for maintaining a healthy immune system live.
However, when antibiotics are taken orally, they deplete a massive community of bacteria in the intestines.
Not all patients taking antibiotics will get these diseases, and that is because most people need a genetic predisposition to get them, researchers said.
It is very important that patients continue their antibiotics as these drugs are critical in clearing bacterial infections that can persist and cause serious health problems if left untreated, they said.
"But what we are saying is that antibiotics must only prescribed when absolutely needed for bacterial infections. "Antibiotics, for example, are useless against viral infections such as those that cause the common cold, flu and many chest infections," she said

An integrated platform for automated analysis of protein NMR structures
Yuanpeng Janet Huang, Hunter N.B. Moseley, Michael C. Baran, Cheryl Arrowsmith, Robert Powers, Roberto Tejero, Thomas Szyperski, Gaetano T. Montelione
Recent developments provide automated analysis of NMR assignments and three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins. These approaches are generally applicable to proteins ranging from about 50 to 150 amino acids. In this chapter, we summarize progress by the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium in standardizing the NMR data collection process for protein structure determination and in building an integrated platform for automated protein NMR structure analysis. Our integrated platform includes the following principal steps: (1) standardized NMR data collection, (2) standardized data processing (including spectral referencing and Fourier transformation), (3) automated peak picking and peak list editing, (4) automated analysis of resonance assignments, (5) automated analysis of NOESY data together with 3D structure determination, and (6) methods for protein structure validation. In particular, the software AutoStructure for automated NOESY data analysis is described in this chapter, together with a discussion of practical considerations for its use in high-throughput structure production efforts. The critical area of data quality assessment has evolved significantly over the past few years and involves evaluation of both intermediate and final peak lists, resonance assignments, and structural information derived from the NMR data. Methods for quality control of each of the major automated analysis steps in our platform are also discussed. Despite significant remaining challenges, when good quality data are available, automated analysis of protein NMR assignments and structures with this platform is both fast and reliable.

The Orange Bowl, formerly Burdine Stadium, was an outdoor athletic stadium in Miami, Florida, west of downtown in Little Havana. Considered a landmark, it was the home stadium for the Miami Hurricanes college football team. It also hosted the professional Miami Dolphins for their first 21 seasons, until the opening of Sun Life Stadium (then called Joe Robbie Stadium) in nearby Miami Gardens in 1987. The stadium was the temporary home of the FIU Golden Panthers while its FIU Stadium underwent expansion during the 2007 season.
Burdine Stadium was renamed in 1959 for the Orange Bowl college football game, which was played at the Orange Bowl following every season from 1938–95. The event was moved to Dolphin Stadium beginning in 1996. In 1999, the bowl game was hosted at the Orange Bowl for one final time due to a scheduling conflict. The minor league Miami Marlins baseball team occasionally played games in the Orange Bowl from 1956-60.
The stadium was on a large block bounded by Northwest 3rd Street (south), Northwest 16th Avenue (west), Northwest 6th Street (north) and Northwest 14th Avenue (east, the open end of the stadium).
The Orange Bowl was demolished in 2008 to make way for the new 37,000-seat retractable-roof baseball stadium of the Florida Marlins, which opened in 2012.
File:Orange Bowl 021.jpg
The stadium was built by the City of Miami Public Works Department. Construction began in 1936 and was completed in December 1937. The stadium opened for Miami Hurricanes football on December 10, 1937. From 1926 to 1937 the University of Miami played in a stadium near Tamiami Park and also at Moore Park until the Orange Bowl was built.
The Orange Bowl was originally named Burdine Stadium after Roddy Burdine, one of Miami's pioneers. The original stadium consisted of the two sideline lower decks. Seating was added in the endzones in the 1940s, and by the end of the 1950s the stadium was double-decked on the sidelines. In 1966, the AFL expansion Miami Dolphins played their first ever regular season game in the stadium on September 2. The west endzone upper deck section was then added in the 1960s, bringing the stadium to its peak capacity of 80,010. In 1964, the Orange Bowl Game was the first college bowl game to be televised in prime time.[1]
In 1977, the permanent seats in the east endzone were removed, and further upgrades brought the stadium to its final capacity and design. The city skyline was visible to the east through the open end, over the modern scoreboard and palm trees. The surface has been natural grass, except for six seasons in the 1970s. Poly-Turf, an artificial turf similar to AstroTurf, was installed for the 1970 football season. It was removed and replaced with a type of natural grass known as "Prescription Athletic Turf" after Super Bowl X in January 1976.
Under the leadership of Hall of Fame head coach Don Shula, the Miami Dolphins enjoyed a winning record in the Orange Bowl against rival teams in the AFC Eastern Division. Under Shula, the Dolphins were an impressive 57–9–1 (60–10–1 including playoff contests) against the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts (15–3), the Boston/NewEngland Patriots (15–1), the Buffalo Bills (16–1) and the New York Jets (13–4–1).[2] The playoff results are: AFC Championship games: (1971, Miami 21, Baltimore 0); (1982, Miami 14, New York Jets 0) and (1985, New England 31, Miami 14) and AFC First Round game (1982 strike shortened season, Miami 28, New England 13).
File:Ob.JPG
Notable winning streaks during the Shula-era in the Orange Bowl include a 13–0 streak against the Buffalo Bills and a 15–0 streak against the New England Patriots, Also of note, the Miami Dolphins enjoyed a record 31-game home winning streak from 1971-75. This 31-game streak includes four playoff wins and the perfect season of 1972. The Dolphins have not enjoyed the same level of success in Sun Life Stadium. While much of this lack of success in Sun Life Stadium is obviously attributable to a diminished level of talent and organizational stability, it is also widely recognized that the homefield advantage that the Dolphins enjoyed in the Orange Bowl was exponentially greater than in their newer home. This was in great part due to the atmosphere of the Bowl. The closeness of the seats to the field, along with the closed West End Zone, metal bleachers, and steel structure (and of course the team's success and its status as Miami's only professional sports team for so many years), gave the venue one of the loudest and most electric homefield environments in the NFL. Visiting team quarterbacks often complained to referees or were forced to call time out as their teammates could not hear them barking out the signals due to the unbearable noise, especially when the Dolphins were making a goal-line stand in the closed West End Zone. While Sun Life Stadium is much newer and cleaner and is considered one of the top facilities in the NFL, with top-notch amenities, the seats are much farther from the field, and even at its loudest, Sun Life Stadium doesn't come close to comparing to that of the Orange Bowl.
The Orange Bowl was also the site of the NCAA's longest college football home field winning streak. Between 1985 and 1994, the Miami Hurricanes won 58 straight home games at the Bowl, until ended by the Washington Huskies. The stadium's home field advantage used to include a steel structure that fans would set to rumbling by stomping their feet. Concrete reinforcement had silenced the rumble. There was still the advantage of the West End Zone, which has a relatively narrow radius that amplifies fan noise. The West End Zone was a factor in the Wide Right curse, in which the Florida State Seminoles lost a series of close games due to missed field goals. This section was so raucous that some football announcers often confused it with the student section.
In addition to football, the stadium also hosted concerts and other public events. The stadium had a regular capacity of 74,476 orange seats, and could seat up to 82,000 for concerts and other events where additional seating would have been placed on the playing field.
The last professional football game to be played in the Orange Bowl took place on April 29, 2000 and matched the Miami Tropics vs the San Antonio Matadors of the Spring Football League. The Matadors won 16-13.
University of Miami Edit
The City of Miami embarked on a plan to extensively renovate the stadium. However, those plans fell by the wayside as Miami focused on keeping the Florida Marlins in town, forcing the Hurricanes to threaten a move to Dolphin Stadium (now Sun Life Stadium) in suburban Miami Gardens if a plan to renovate the stadium were not in place within 45 days. Some feared that Miami would permit the college to leave, only to tear down the Orange Bowl and replace it with the new stadium for the Marlins.
That fear became reality as Paul Dee, Athletic Director for the University of Miami, announced that the Hurricanes would be moving to Dolphin Stadium for the 2008 season. Dee and university president Donna Shalala made the announcement during a press conference at the Hecht Athletic Center on August 21, 2007. The University agreed to a 25-year contract to play at then Dolphin Stadium. According to Miami City Manager Pete Hernandez, this put the Orange Bowl back in the forefront as a possible site for a new Marlins stadium. The hope that talks would resume soon on that possibility vanished after only a short while.[3]
Many Hurricane fans vocally opposed the decision to move stadium locations and preferred maintaining the Orange Bowl as the Hurricanes' home field, out of concern of Dolphin Stadium's extra distance from campus, the severing of an icon of the Hurricanes' historical successes on the field, and potentially more expensive parking costs.

Many fans have even stated to various broadcast, print and internet-based media outlets that they will no longer attend the games of Hurricanes football, once the team abandoned the Orange Bowl.[4] Some speculate that the decision to leave the Orange Bowl might have cursed the Miami Hurricanes and would cite the Miami Dolphins as a precedent. Indeed a common explanation for the Miami Hurricanes' poor performance during the 2007 season is that "they've never been the same since they left the Orange Bowl."[5] The University of Miami lost their final Orange Bowl game to the University of Virginia, 48-0, in front of a live ESPN audience.
Hurricane Wilma Edit
In 2005, Hurricane Wilma caused structural damage to the stadium, which rekindled discussion of tearing down the aging facility. The damage was subsequently repaired.
Final year and demolition Edit
The Orange Bowl was demolished in May 2008, and the Marlins' new retractable-roof stadium is currently under construction on the site, and targeted to open in April 2012. Despite some protests, the historic stadium had been earmarked for demolition when the University of Miami announced that they were moving out of the Orange Bowl after the 2007 season to begin play at Sun Life Stadium in 2008 in a 25-year deal.[6] On November 10, 2007, the University of Miami Hurricanes lost their final game at the Orange Bowl when the Virginia Cavaliers defeated Miami 48-0 in the Hurricanes worst home shutout loss in school history.[7]
The FIU Golden Panthers won their last game at the Orange Bowl against the North Texas Mean Green on December 1, 2007 by a score of 38-19, snapping a 23-game losing streak that many attributed to the consequences of suspensions following the UM-FIU brawl the year before. Since the Golden Panthers had been using the Orange Bowl as their home field during the construction of FIU Stadium this win allows the FIU team to boast that it was they who officially closed the Orange Bowl's college football career with a home win.
A high school all-star game, "The O-D All-American Bowl", took place on January 4, 2008 and was the last game before the closing events.
On Saturday, January 26, 2008 a "Farewell to the Orange Bowl Stadium" flag football game was held. The game featured former Dolphin and Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, plus Mark Duper, Mercury Morris, Dwight Stephenson, A.J. Duhe, Don Strock, Jim Kiick, John Offerdahl, Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Melvin Bratton, Brian Blades, Bennie Blades and Eddie Brown.

The NFL's winningest coach Don Shula coached the Dolphin players while Florida Atlantic University and former Hurricanes coach (and former Dolphins assistant) Howard Schnellenberger coached the UM players.
The Orange Bowl was open to the public for the last time February 8–10, 2008 when a public auction of stadium artifacts and memorabilia was held. The stadium was stripped and pieces were sold by a company called Mounted Memories. Demolition of the Orange Bowl began on March 3, 2008,[8] and was completed on May 14, 2008.
Commemorative marker Edit
As part of the new Miami Ballpark, Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places have commissioned Daniel Arsham/Snarkitecture to design a public artwork to commemorate the Miami Orange Bowl. Their project uses the letters from the original "Miami Orange Bowl" sign as the basis for the 10 foot-tall orange concrete letters rearranged across the east plaza of the new ballpark so that they form new words as visitors move around them.[9]

NASA built 5 Apollo lunar landers that never launched into space. Here's what happened to the historic moon ships.
Dave Mosher
Jun 19, 2019, 21:03 IST
A NASA artist's concept of Apollo astronauts outside of a Lunar Excursion Module, or LEM.
NASA had 15 moon-landing spacecraft built for its Apollo space program in the 1960s and 1970s.
Ten of those spacecraft, known as lunar modules, launched into space. Astronauts landed six of them on the moon.
After Congress canceled the Apollo programs, museums put three spare lunar landers on display in Florida, New York, and Washington, DC.
Grumman Aircraft (now Northrop Grumman), the prime contractor for NASA, did not finish two lunar modules. It scrapped at least one of them.
SleepX Ortho Plus Quilted 6 inch King Bed Size, Firm Memory Foam Mattress (Purple, 78x72x6 )
Amazon Brand - Solimo Cartina Fabric 5 seater L shape sofa Set (Grey)
Duroflex Back Magic - Doctor Recommended Orthopaedic High Density Coir, 5 Inch King Size Firm Mattress for Back Support and Posture Alignment (78 X 72 X 5 Inches)
SleepX Dual Comfort Mattress 6 inch Queen Bed Size, Medium Soft & Hard (Orange, 72x60x6, Foam)
When NASA made history 50 years ago by landing the first two humans on the moon, a peculiar-looking spacecraft called the lunar module made the journey possible - and survivable.
The module's descent stage - lower part with a big rocket engine - took Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. The vehicle's blocky upper section, the ascent stage, blasted the crew off the moon a day later.
For the Apollo program, NASA commissioned 15 flight-ready lunar modules. Saturn V rockets launched 10 of the moon ships into deep space, and six of those transported astronauts to and from the lunar surface (on Apollo missions 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). The other four were left or discarded in space.
But that leaves five modules that never got a chance to leave planet Earth.
Here's what happened to those units - more than one may have been destroyed - and where they are now.
One is in Washington, DC
Mark Avino/Smithsonian Institution
Lunar Module #2, which was designed for an uncrewed test flight, is one of a few surviving moon ships built for NASA's Apollo program by Grumman Aerospace. LM-2 is located at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
NASA didn't design and build the lunar modules; rather, Grumman Aircraft (now Northrop Grumman) designed, pitched, and constructed the spacecraft as a contractor for the agency.
The modules were numbered 1 through 15. They only earned names like "Eagle" or "Snoopy" if and when they flew into space with astronauts inside.
The second lunar module that Grumman ever built, called LM-2, is on display at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. The module has been on display in full since around 1970, after its descent stage took a quick trip to a world's fair in Japan.
LM-2 was not designed to carry people to the moon. It was a backup for Apollo 5: the first test flight of a lunar module. Apollo 5 wound up being so successful in taking LM-1 through the paces of spaceflight, though, that NASA decided to keep LM-2 on the ground and use it for tests instead of launching it.
Later, LM-5 took Aldrin and Armstrong to the moon and back. It was not so different from LM-2, as museum curator Robert Craddock, a spaceflight artifact expert at the Smithsonian, told Air & Space magazine in 2013.
Another is on Long Island
Dave Mosher/Business Insider
Lunar Module 13 is a flight-ready spacecraft that NASA never launched during the Apollo program.
In 1969, NASA was planning an Apollo 18 mission, which was slated to reach the lunar surface in 1973. So it asked Grumman to build a 13th lunar module, LM-13.
However, Congress abruptly canceled three final moon missions - Apollo 18, 19, and 20 - in September 1970. The last mission to reach the moon was Apollo 17 in December 1972.
A variety of factors led to the program's cancellation (and the mothballing of LM-13). First, a ruptured oxygen tank on Apollo 13 nearly killed its crew en route to the moon in April 1970, which gave rise to concerns about whether another potentially deadly accident could stall NASA's future spaceflight plans. There was also push to divert money away from the Apollo program, and put those resources toward a US space station program called Skylab.
A third reason: Apollo was, on the whole, already a huge success.
An Apollo lunar module prototype on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in New York.
"They'd accomplished everything they were trying to do," John Schuessler, who worked as an engineer during the Gemini program (which preceded Apollo), told Popular Mechanics in 2011. "Apollo was a proof that the United States was a leader in technology in space. That was the big gain."
LM-13 was not finished when Congress formally cancelled Apollo 18. The Smithsonian later took possession of the spacecraft, then permanently loaned the ship to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, New York - not far from Northrop Grumman headquarters in Bethpage. The moon-ready vehicle was restored and put on display in 2002.
The Cradle of Aviation Museum also has a very early, unfinished prototype called Lunar Module Test Article-1 on display. The vehicle has a round door (which astronauts with squareish life-support backpacks could not fit through) and is missing protective and reflective outer coverings.
A third is in Florida
Jud McCranie (CC BY-SA 3.0)
Grumman's Apollo Lunar Module LM-9 on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
There are two main sizes of lunar module: a lighter standard one and a heavier extended version.
Apollo missions 14 and earlier used standard lunar modules, which permitted stays of about a day or so on the moon's surface. Apollo 15 and onward used the extended modules, which allowed astronauts to spend a few days on the moon. They also carried a lunar roving vehicle.
Apollo 15 was supposed to use a standard-size module: LM-9. But after Apollo missions 18, 19, and 20 were canceled, NASA was eager to make the most out of its remaining missions. So the agency swapped in an extended module, which left no use for LM-9.
That lunar module is now at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Brevard County, Florida. Like the other moon-ready spacecraft, it's on loan from the Smithsonian.
"This is what a flight-ready LM looks like," the museum says on its web page. "It was completely re-furbished in 2017 with new mylar and kapton on exterior surfaces and landing feet."
Two others were likely scrapped, but there's confusion about the fate of LM-14
The two unused lunar modules that NASA planned to launch on Apollo missions 19 and 20 were LM-14 and LM-15, respectively.
Not much is widely known about the vehicles today, in part because Grumman engineers had only partly assembled them by the time Apollo was canceled. A page on the Smithsonian's website lists LM-15 as "scrapped" and LM-14 as "not used."
A curator at the Cradle of Aviation Museum told Business Insider that he thought the descent stage (or lower half) of LM-14 was located outside the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, but the science museum's website says the vehicle there is a hybrid built from test devices that weren't designed to fly in space.
Robert Pearlman, who runs the space history publication collectSPACE, thinks both spacecraft are likely no longer with us.
"My understanding is that LM-14 was only partially assembled when the Apollo program ended and ultimately, its parts were scrapped," he told Business Insider.
A spokesperson for the National Air and Space Museum concurred.
"The community that tracks these things have not come up with anything more than LM 14 was 'scrapped,'" the spokesperson told Business Insider.
However, an official chronology does not state that LM-14 was scrapped - only that workers were asked to assess its condition. A March 1978 inventory of major "end items" from NASA's space programs is missing the page that should note what happened to LM-14.

Q: Returning a pointer to a vector element I'm trying to figure out best way to hold a pointer to an element in a vector that has just been created and added to the member variable vector:
  SceneGraphNode* addChild(std::string name){
    SceneGraphNode child(this,name);
    m_children.push_back(child);
    return &child;
}

The compiler rightfully gives me a warning since I am returning the address of an object created on the stack, and that object will go out of scope as the function ends. However, the object lives on in the vector, right?
So, should I ignore the warning or is there a better way to do this?

A:
However, the object lives on in the vector, right?

No, a copy of it does.  You want to return the address of the copy.
return &m_children.back();

However, it is not a good idea to store a pointer to an object that resides in a vector.  Because when the vector needs to reallocate, the pointer will be invalidated.  Perhaps you should store pointers (preferably smart pointers) in your vector instead.
For example:
// in your class
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<SceneGraphNode>> m_children;

SceneGraphNode* addChild(std::string name)
{
    std::unique_ptr<SceneGraphNode> child(new SceneGraphNode(this,name));
    m_children.push_back(std::move(child));
    return m_children.back().get();
}

A:
However, the object lives on in the vector, right?

When you push into vector, it actually push copies of the objects, not the object itself, into the vector. STL containers does copy in, copy out. However, as indicated by the compiler, you should not return the address of an object created on the stack.

A: When adding it to the std::vector, you're essentially doing a copy. You should return the reference to the object stored in the vector.
return &(m_children.back());

A: The object doesn't exactly live on in the vector, since when you are push_backing it, you are making a copy of this element.
This code could work if you changed the return by something like that (Ryan's form would actually be more straightforward):
return &m_children[m_children.size() - 1];

That way, you are effectively returning a pointer to an element living in your vector.

Today is 23 March 2018, and it's been 129 years since the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian, founded the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam and accepted the oaths of allegiance (Bai'at) from his 40 disciples in the house of Sufi Ahmad Jan in Ludhiana. The first person who took the oath from the hand of the Promised Messiah (as) was Hazrat Maulvi Nuruddin (ra) of Bhera who later became the first caliph of the Promised Messiah (as) - Khalifatul-Massih Awwal.
In Mauritius and other countries of the world, this historic day is known as: "Promised Messiah Day" and we, the Ahmadi Muslim, take this opportunity to speak about the life and aspects of the mission of the Promised Messiah (as).
Thereafter Mirza Hadi Baig chose a portion of this vast land, and decided to settle there with his clan. He then founded a city and named it Islampur and with the passage of time, the name Islampur passed through several forms of change and was known as Islampur Qadi Maajhi, and then simply Qadi Maajhi, and then Qadi, and where finally this city was known like Qadian.
The paternal great-grandfather of the Promised Messiah (as) was Mirza Gul Muhammad, who was a pious man filled with the fear of God (Taqwa), and he was also known as an honest person. The paternal grandfather of the Promised Messiah (as) was Mirza 'Ata Muhammad, who was the son of Mirza Gul Muhammad. And the father of the Promised Messiah (as) was Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and his mother was Chiragh Bibi. Her mother was known for her hospitality and the great care she brought to the poor.
According to various calculations, the Promised Messiah (as) was born on Friday, 13 February 1835 (14 Shawwal 1250 Hijri), before sunrise. He was born with a twin sister (who did not survive). His twin birth was recorded in Islamic literature regarding the fact that the Promised Mahdi will be born with a twin. (Fusus al-Hikam by Muhyiuddin Ibn Arabi).
Since his childhood, the Promised Messiah (as) did not like to waste his time in useless things and he remained far from the mischief that his little comrades did at their age. For his education, his parents brought three different tutors, one after another at home to educate him in several subjects.
The Promised Messiah (as) married at a very young age. His first marriage was celebrated when he was only 15 years old. It was an arranged marriage with his cousin Hurmat Bibi (from her mother's family, Hurmat Bibi being the daughter of his maternal uncle Mirza Jamaat Baig). Two sons were born of this union: Mirza Sultan Ahmad and Mirza Fazal Ahmad. While Mirza Fazal Ahmad and Mirza Sultan did not have faith in their father as the Mujaddid (Reformer) and Promised Messiah of his time during his lifetime, but it is only Mirza Sultan Ahmad who, after the death of his father got faith, and took the Pledge of Allegiance (Bai'ah) and integrated the Jama'at Ahmadiyya at the hand of his half-brother, Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (ra), the second Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Movement.
Since very young, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) loved his privacy (his life of isolation/ seclusion) and spent most of his time in supplication to Allah (duas) and prayer (Salat) or he was immersed in the study of the Holy Quran. His father was well aware of his son's great concern and preoccupation for religion, but nonetheless, he was worried as a father of his son's future, worried if he could make ends meet after his death. He was not worried about his present, because as long as he, the father would be alive, it is he who would take care of his son, but what would happen to his son after his death?
Mirza Ghulam Murtaza used to point out to his friends, regarding his son, saying, "This son of mine is a ʻMaseetar' (that is, in Punjabi: one who spends most of his time in a mosque, praying). He does not look for a job and is not interested in making a living (to support himself financially) ...".
What a great honour it would have been for him if he had lived long enough to witness how Allah had subsequently chosen his son and made him Messiah and Mahdi Promised of his time!
This revelation gave him an extraordinary comfort and relieved him of his worries and gave him peace of mind, since it was clear that it was Allah who would take care of him and rid him of all his problems.
In the year 1882, he saw the noble and holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) in a vision and it was then that he received the first revelation (concerning his proclamation) from Allah about the fact that Allah had chosen him and raised him as Mujaddid (Reformer). Subsequently in 1889, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) founded the Ahmadiyya Movement to revive the faith in Allah, and to refute all arguments against Islam and against all the teachings of Islam. He was the protector of the Quran and the Muslims, but unfortunately the majority of Muslims did not recognize his value and treated him with despicable names.
He died in Lahore on 26 May 1908, and left behind him an aggrieved Jama'at who later struggled for a long time to propagate his teachings in the best way. But unfortunately with time, little by little the people of this Jama'at moved away from his teachings and from Allah and those who are at the head of this Jama'at took themselves as superpowers and flouted his teachings, and then Allah, by His immense grace, raised another Mujaddid, and Messiah in this present age to bring reform to the whole world and to defend the honour of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), the servants par excellence of Allah. Alhamdulillah.
May Allah help us all to remain under the banner of Islam and to always safeguard the honour of the messengers of Allah, and the reformers of the religion of Allah. May Allah help the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam to accomplish this great work, always having people with piety and the fear of Allah in its circle. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
