Raspberry Pi: Android fully functional and stable OS for everyday use.
Android 9 Pre-Alpha with graphics acceleration and video playback on CPU.
Guide available to backers, thank you.
Searching for a decent stable Android OS on the Raspberry Pi was not possible to be found, they normally have bugs, are unstable and run slow. We then decided to create a stable Android version that runs perfectly on the Raspberry Pi for anyone that wants to run AOSP on the Raspberry Pi.
Our mission is to develop a stable Android version to run on the Raspberry Pi.
Our vision is to have the best Android version available for the Raspberry Pi.
Our initial plan is to start with Android 9.0 Pie.
peyo-hd and everyone who's contributed to android-rpi.
brobwind for his opensource code.
GeekTillItHertz for his ROM script and guidance.
We are planning in using AOSP Source Codes with low ram option due to the Raspberry Pi RAM limitations and offer the best experience for the end user once we deliver a completely optimized version of the OS.
That we can use it for any task, streaming, gaming, productivity use, business use, etc.
We will have the BEST behind the project to achieve the optimization and development of the project.
DEVELOPERS willing to contribute as well as an economic contribution to be able to pay the team some cash to contribute actively daily to the project.
Getting in touch with us for a free development contribution or economic contribution if you are able to.
When will we have it ready?
We are expecting to have it before the end of this year!
When will I be able to test it?
ASAP! As soon as we have the first testing builds we will deliver them to all contributors.
Will there be more than 1 version?
We will try to keep all our efforts on resources on 1 version, if we get enough help and contribution we can start thinking in having different versions like an Android TV version!
Non-profit organizations can also help!
Non profit organizations can also contribute so that a stable Android release is delivered to everyone, we know that many Raspberry Pi are in economic growing and poorer countries therefore we would love to provide them the best of Android so that they can use it for their daily tasks as well as learning how to develop and test in the device!
Private businesses will benefit from this project!
If you are a private business you can also benefit, having a low power Android device can reduce your electricity bills and can make you have a higher productivity inside the business. We will make sure you get security patches monthly and give you all the support you need.
How will the project continue?
The project will be free for users and we plan to give support to business for a small cost. With the business contributions and users donations we will continue optimizing and support different versions and platforms in future.
We are also looking for collaborators not only economically but that can also provide a bump in the project development.
So mainly the project requirement is to have some money to motivate developers to put some extra hours buying them a snack and a coffee and of course look for even more contributors for the project.
We are really excited to present this project and we are hoping to get all the help possible to make this project a reality and that millions of users can have Android running stable and fluently on their devices.
Deciding the best version to be able to start the development and that the team can optimize the maximum out of Android to be able to use it in the Raspberry Pi.
Achieving with the minimum the maximum and delivering the best OS for the Raspberry Pi.
If we get a great support giving the best out of all the versions we will be providing.
Getting the version to be completely optimal for heavy activities such as gaming and video playback.
We are one step forward to delivering the best Android on Raspberry Pi ever developed! You will get releases before anyone else!
There will be a special section to thank you for your contribution. You will be receiving early versions as soon as they are ready. You will be also receiving versions before anyone else.
You will be our most close helpers, you will get Alphas, Betas and RC as well as the final products before anyone else.
You will get special recognition for the help to the project as well as support for any issue.
Free support. Special recognition for the support. Early versions and stable versions will be delivered before anyone.
Be delivered monthly security patches ASAP. Stable versions will have extended free support.


A group, Forum of Non-Governmental Organisations in Nigeria, has asked the United States Mission in Nigeria not to grant visa to the People's Democratic Party Presidential flagbearer in the 2019 elections, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The convener of the forum, Wale Badmus, said approving Atiku's visa request might give him an electoral advantage in the forthcoming election.
"This is apart from the tacit and covert electoral gain such can confer on him. The general correct perception in our country now is that Atiku is being denied American visa because of proven cases of money laundering and financial crimes against him," he claimed.
Badmus stated that a report by the US Permanent Sub-committee on Investigations had indicated that between 2000 and 2008, Atiku's fourth wife, Jennifer Douglas, helped her husband to bring into the US over $40m suspicious funds via wire transfers.
The group further stated that in 2007, the former Vice President was a subject of corruption allegations related to the Petroleum Technology Development Fund involving $25m which was wired to offshore US bank accounts.
It explained that in 2009, a US congressman, Senator William Jefferson, was indicted and tried in a Virginia court on corruption charges related to a bribery scandal involving Atiku.
"It is for these reasons that we advise your embassy to decline visa to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Granting his visa request will amount to negation of the Patriot Act which makes the acceptance of foreign corruption proceeds a US money laundering offence," the forum stated.

Le Poiscaille est un journal satirique qui paraît tous les deux mois, en région liégeoise. Il est disponible dans points de vente et sur abonnement.

Origine
Le Poiscaille est un journal satirique indépendant et totalement liégeois animé par une trentaine de passionnés formés aux techniques du journalisme et de la caricature (Université de Liège, Haute École de la Province de Liège, École Supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc). Tous les deux mois, la rédaction publie 20 pages d'articles sur la politique liégeoise et la société civile ainsi qu'une foule de caricatures.

Adepte d'humour grinçant et de satire sociale, Le Poiscaille a vu le jour en février 2010 sous l'initiative d'une équipe de Liégeois souhaitant introduire dans leur ville un journal satirique, irrévérencieux et sans la moindre complaisance avec quelque forme d'autorité qui soit.

Le Poiscaille a été créé pour offrir une alternative à la presse traditionnelle liégeoise. Dans le sillon de la presse satirique (Le Canard enchaîné, Charlie Hebdo, Siné Mensuel, etc.), Le Poiscaille propose un contenu adressé aux amateurs d'ironie et d'information décalée. Il souhaite également prouver qu'il est parfois réjouissant de lire l'actualité locale sous un œil neuf, décalé et comique.
Si l'intention du genre satirique est de dépeindre de façon ironique les vices et les travers des hommes et de la société, Le Poiscaille reste néanmoins un journal d'information ancré dans l'actualité. Il est désireux de proposer un certain point de vue sur la société actuelle et son évolution. Les journalistes et caricaturistes qui en font partie ne sont pas des donneurs de leçon murés dans leur tour d'ivoire, mais davantage des citoyens animés par l'idée de proposer un regard différent du consensualisme ambiant. Le Poiscaille part donc à la recherche des sujets peu traités et offre à ses lecteurs des angles originaux, enlevés et décalés.

En , Le Poiscaille fait paraître son premier numéro hors-série : le meilleur de trois premières années compilé en 32 pages. Tiré à 1000 exemplaires, ce numéro spécial a été vendu au prix de 3 € dans plus de 200 librairies de la Province de Liège.

Après des difficultés à renouveler l'équipe éditoriale et à obtenir des financements, l'assemblée générale décide de mettre fin à l'activité du journal le . Ils publieront un dernier numéro retraçant leurs rêves et échecs le .

Hearing Benjamin Sabey's music, one senses that he is, to use Toru Takemitsu's lovely phrase, "confronting silence." One cannot predict what any confrontation will entail, of course. Confrontations take many forms: encounter, challenge, transaction, even embrace. The mystery of Sabey's music is in not knowing which form the confrontation will take.
Historically, composers use counterpoint, an interlacing of voices, to throw a net around silence. One hears it in Sabey's music, too—though transformed. His counterpoint seems indeed a curious sort of monody: not the weaving of disparate lines into a strong fabric, but the evisceration of solitary gestures into their component parts. Visual analogues come to mind. Sometimes we experience in his counterpoint a prism, breaking light into discrete colors. Sometimes it is a microscope, whose power of magnification keeps being increased. Sometimes an x-ray, in which the bones beneath the surface become visible.
Such gestures seem to leap from the imagery of the titles: Owl, Phoenix, Arc Flicker, Ecstatic Aspen, Winter Shore, and Espejismo (Spanish for "mirage" or "illusion"). There is no sense of formalism, of merely sounding or resounding shapes for their own sake. Yet the sound is almost fiercely controlled by what we might call an imposed functionality, although one that rarely rises to the surface. It feels submerged just beneath a flickering surface. Still, the language of each work has its distinct dialect, which, like all strongly regional dialects, subverts the "rules" (of grammar, syntax, conjugation, etc.) to fluid, colorful idiomatic expressivity. "Merely" linguistic structure submits to sonorous personality.
Much of Sabey's musical personality springs from a kind of exaltation of embellishment into the latent structure of which I spoke. Indeed, sometimes one hears Sabey almost magically transfiguring the evanescence of ornamentation into a sense of solidity. Twinges of ecstasy distill into an architecture of sonic bliss. It is as if the cornices of a house had evolved into its foundation. One hears this especially in Ecstatic Aspen, which, while it superficially evokes echoes of romantic pianisms, begins with the medieval conceit of long drones, voices flitting above them, giving the listener a layering and stratification of time worlds. As the work proceeds, one discovers (as in many of Sabey's pieces) a kaleidoscope, whose concatenations are at once rhapsodic, full of whimsical slippage, yet intensely logical.
It is the architecture of the natural world—Sabey's chief inspiration—in which everything grows or erupts, and also decays and hardens. Yet that ever-changing architecture seems, to our human scale of temporal perception, to be stable—at least until it undergoes some punctuation of its seeming equilibrium (to borrow from Stephen Jay Gould's phrase about evolution). The punctuations in Sabey's music strike me as gentle, nudging, rarely cataclysmic. (And in that they arguably reflect the personal temperament of their maker.). The nature that Sabey looks to for inspiration is not the one of geologic upheaval, but of shaking leaves, flapping wings, rippling water, and gusty winds.
Sabey's Owl, to take one example, is a creature of paradox, of flight yet not-flight, of brooding that unfolds into aerodynamics. The swooping opening develops into different time frames of descent. The sliding tones seem to dive, then settle and forage. And yet something in the overall design of the work seems more Apollonian, than Dionysian, despite the flurrying of its surface. Similarly, Ecstatic Aspen bespeaks that same sort of dual character, florid but always bending to intellectual constraints—or vice versa. Whenever a triad attempts to emerge, a rogue pitch asserts itself. If a piece could portray gentle recalcitrance, it would be this one.
One need not mention, I suppose, the virtuosity on which all this and other sonic scurrying in this collection must rely. Sabey teaches us lessons about the micro-potentialities of even the most portable handheld machines—flute, guitar, etc.—that never lapse into technical self-gratification. There are even passages of quasi-exoticism—from flamenco to snake-charming. But virtuosity as eloquence remains the chief lesson in Sabey's soloistic writing.
Still, it is in the subsuming of individual showiness into collaborative effort where Sabey's language deepens, I believe. I speak of the distinctly three-dimensional Winter Shore, which sonically inspects and inventories the plots and subplots of the drama of cold ocean confronting land. Full of friction and ghostly incantations, this work deploys one haunting gesture after the next, but with, again, an ineluctable logic. Still, what one notices mostin it might be the "sociology" of the work, in which instrumental voices play out small contests and negotiations, ending with a tentative withdrawal of all players into a muteness that is pitched somewhere between grudging and resolved. The ending of this work confronts silence in the most overt way.
Yet Sabey's voice—a truly distinctive one—resonates well beyond the ostensible "ending" of each piece. The messages it pronounces are so incandescent and beguiling, even unnerving at times, that one hesitates to begin the next listening without a spell—I use the word advisedly—of introspection.

Q: How can I increase TX-Power on Intel AX200 card? The Problem
I have an Intel AX200 card, connected to my PCI-E slot. I want to increase the tx-power from 22dBm (default) to 24-25 (all for 5Ghz).
What I tried
I tried following this guide but both methods didn't work. I changed the txpower in the CRDA files to 30 both in my country, the US and 00, but when I try to run:
sudo iw dev wlp8s0 set txpower fixed 30mBm

Or:
sudo iw dev wlp8s0 set txpower fixed 3000

It doesn't work and iwconfig still shows TX-Power: 22dBm. If I try to lower it and run:
sudo iw dev wlp8s0 set txpower fixed 2000

It changes to 20dBm.
When I run
iw reg get

It used to print the global profile as well as a different list for the iwlwifi driver so the card was managed but I edited the /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf file and edded:
options iwlwifi lar_disable=1

And after restarting the card it shows just the global profile, so it should use the global CRDA files I made using the guide. It's the same when I change my regulatory domain to US, BO, BZ, my country (instead of 00) and when I remove the lar_disable=1.
Info
The card itself was bought from an American store so if anything it should be hardcoded to US regulation with allow up to 30dBm (or at least 23, rather than 22).

When I stopped in to visit with Robin White, Superintendent at Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, our conversation quickly led to tears. When I interviewed Ms. White a couple years ago, the focus was on the September 1957 events at Little Rock Central High, and lessons learned.
On this visit, we changed the focus. I said, let's talk about lessons learned, but more importantly, lessons not learned in the intervening six decades.
I had no idea that my entrée would open the floodgates of her soul. The subsequent conversation quickly had tears running down Ms. White's cheeks, and mine too.
Come along and join me in Ms. White's National Park Service office in Little Rock, Arkansas as she shares her profound, powerful thoughts and feelings–that she confessed are way too often, regretfully, stuffed and suppressed.

Location has a huge effect on home values, even between adjacent lots: If your home is mere feet closer to the highway, it may appraise lower.
Here's why your neighbor's house could be worth a lot more than yours.
We've all done it: You want to score tickets to a concert, but you don't want to pay face value, or worse, overpay. So you monitor the tickets' price online, watch prices ebb and flow, and then pounce once they've hit rock bottom.
Now apply this thinking to your home. Just like ticket prices, home values can vary wildly over time — peaking during a seller's market and hitting rock bottom during years like 2008. A smart home seller will monitor their home's value over the years so they know the general price range for their home (Trulia's home value tool is a great way to keep tabs).
But if you want to do some renovations to increase the value of your home for sale in Houston, TX, or are just wondering why the value isn't increasing much over time, you need to understand what other factors influence a home's value. Here are nine variables that might be stalling your resale value.
Proximity to a busy highway, proximity to a large vacant lot, proximity to not very much at all … poor home placement almost always guarantees a stagnation of value. This is why two identical homes in the same neighborhood can have wildly different listing numbers if one is on a cul-de-sac and the other backs up to a four-way road. Conversely, if you've sat on a property that has seen infrastructure spring up all around it in recent years, you're likely to witness a pleasant jump in perceived market value, especially if the specs of your home appeal to younger professionals looking for walkability.
Maybe you put in your dream kitchen a few years ago, indulging your penchant for frosted glass cabinets and an avocado-green refrigerator. The problem in executing your singular vision? You risk finding out no one else shares your taste. "Most buyers want to put their own stamp on their new home rather than pay a premium for your renovation," says Palance. If buyers can't see past your personal sense of style, your home could sit on the market for months — or worse.
Was your home once flooded during a storm and suffered mold as a result? Was your street or neighborhood once associated with high crime rates, even if that information is now outdated? Did a fire ever occur on or near the property? Did a crime ever occur? It is near impossible to scrub the public record of your home's history; if your house has a storied history, then savvy potential buyers will know about it — and they may not be eager to inherit that mojo.
Is yours a single-family in a sea of townhomes? Is your condo in a modern building surrounded by historic structures? If your place lacks area comps, a bank is going to have a hard time properly assessing its resale possibilities and is likely going to underestimate your home's worth come appraisal time. And that unfair assessment could give your buyer a reason to try to negotiate down the sale price.
"Some buildings have an intangible 'it' factor," says Palance. It could be rare architectural finishes, proximity to a renowned landmark, or the fact that celebrities are known to live nearby. But if there's nothing that really distinguishes your home — if there's no "hook" to help make it stand out — it's sometimes difficult to attract attention, especially during the busy spring market. Even if you take your property off the market for a reset, its listing history remains on the record and might drag down future pricing.

New Views of Microeconomics
A review of Identity Economics, by George A. Akerlof and Rachel E. Kranton.
by David K. Hurst
Identity Economics: How Our Identities Shape Our Work, Wages, and Well-Being
By George A. Akerlof and Rachel E. Kranton
Princeton University Press, 2010
Illustration by Barry Falls
Traditionally, economists have had a one-dimensional view of human behavior. They didn't think it mattered much as long as the economic outcomes they predicted actually materialized. More recently, however, some economists have begun arguing that the goal of microeconomics should be to explain why and how things happen, in which case a fuller and more realistic view of human behavior is essential. Two of them, George A. Akerlof, the Koshland Professor of Economics at the University of California and 2001 Nobel laureate in economics, and Rachel E. Kranton, professor of economics at Duke University, have set out to help create such a view in Identity Economics: How Our Identities Shape Our Work, Wages, and Well-Being. They describe it as a "primer on identity" that "should open a world to be studied" by economists. They do not disappoint.
Although written with some economic jargon, Identity Economics is an accessible introduction to the role of identity in the decision making of individuals. The authors argue that a person's choices about how to act, in the short and long term, are influenced by his or her social context. Thus in the caste-conscious Indian society, high-status Brahmans treat so-called untouchables with disdain. Transfer those same people to a more egalitarian culture and eventually they will behave differently. Change the context, and you change their choices. In other words, much of our behavior is determined by how we classify ourselves socially, and by the norms and ideals of the groups to which we belong and aspire to belong.
Akerlof and Kranton explore how identity affects economic outcomes involving racial minorities, organizations, educational performance, and career selection, as well as the methodology of economics itself. For each topic, they first discuss the implications of classical utility theory and then show the benefits of adding the "identity utility," which encompasses the identities, norms, and ideals of social categories, as well as the gains and losses incurred when human behavior either conforms with or contradicts them. This necessarily formulaic approach (given their economist target readers) is leavened with stories that illustrate how the concept of identity helps clarify the economics of complex social issues.
For instance, most current economic theories of education see teenage students as rational decision makers who are continually weighing the economic costs and benefits of getting a high school education. But this view cannot explain why U.S. education standards have slipped so badly over the past few decades. In applying the identity lens, the authors show how the continuing democratization of the U.S. education system — which has allowed high school students an ever-greater say in their curriculum — has led to a collapse of these standards. Why? Instead of a homogeneous group of students who see themselves as insiders, that is, as members of an institution with a mission to learn and achieve, students have become a more heterogeneous group, finding their own identities in the multiple boutique offerings of what some critics have called "Shopping Mall High." As students have increasingly seen themselves as outsiders, their performance has dwindled and they have left high school in greater numbers, even though the costs of this behavior outweigh the benefits.
Social scientists outside the field of economics have been studying the influence of identity forever, and will probably regard identity economics as a long-overdue advance in that discipline. They may also be concerned that identity economics is another significant step in the imperial march that economics has been conducting through their territories. They may not need to worry: It is by no means clear that if identity economics is broadly accepted, economics as a monolithic discipline will remain intact.
Although the concept of identity makes eminent sense at the conceptual level, its implications for the key neoclassical notions of market equilibrium and predictability may be problematic, because identities are fundamentally unstable and open to manipulation. For instance, identity economics may offer much more radical explanations for some phenomena, such as the dramatic divergence of CEO compensation from its historical relationship with employee compensation. Maybe CEO compensation isn't based on market forces at all; maybe it is driven, as many observers have already suggested, by the forces that come into play when boards of directors identify more closely with CEOs than with shareholders. In short, once admitted to the discipline, identity economics could turn out to be a Trojan horse. Critics of the neoclassical economic synthesis and its influence on management should probably be cheering, but quietly.

We bought into Bluegreen, had great credit for being 21 and 25. Everytime we tried to go somewhere, there wasn't anything available.
We were pressured into buying it. I called and talked to a lady in Branson and told her my situation and she said she would try and get me out of the agreement. I received the best phone call in my life a few weeks later stating that we would be able to get out of our agreement, with no refund (which we never asked for) and that it wouldn't affect our credit. We tried to get a home loan to get a house since our family had since grown and where told that our credit score was to low.
I called the Branson office and the lady had retired and they gave me the number for Corporate. I talked to a guy named Jamie. Told him we just wanted out of the contract and explained what went on. He said they never make deals like that and that I had been lied to.
We continually tried to get out of the contract since we have paid thousands and never have went on a vacation. He said if we paid up to date they would fix our credit and that we couldn't get out the contract. I paid them a thousand dollars and they started taking money out monthly. They stopped taking the money out in May, I haven't seen any withdrawals and our credit was never fixed.
Our credit scores of above 700 are now 560. We were aware of the maintenance fees but weren't aware of the yearly fee. I am sure it is all written in the fine print though.
We were shown something that wasn't true.

The Blackhawk Putnam Tavern is an historic house at 22 North Street in Houlton, Maine, United States.  Built in 1813, it is the oldest standing building Aroostook County.  In the mid-19th century it served as a tavern on the military road, and one of its owners was Blackhawk Putnam, a veteran of the American Civil War.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 30, 1976.

Description and history
The Blackhawk Putnam Tavern is set on the west side of North Street (United States Route 1), a short way north of a bend in the Meduxnekeag River, which winds through Houlton.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with two fully framed stories, and an additional  under the side-gable roof.  There are two interior brick chimneys.  The main facade faces east, and is five bays wide, with the center entry sheltered by a 20th-century Colonial Revival portico.  Windows are symmetrically-spaced, with a slightly wider gap on either side of the center bay.  The corners of the building have wide corner boards, and the front and rear have a broad entablature below the roof line.  The interior of the building follows a typical Federal-period center-hall plan, with two rooms on either side of the hall at each level.  Trim, both interior and exterior, is a combination of Federal and Greek Revival styling.

The tavern was built in 1813 by Samuel Wormwood, a master carpenter originally from Alfred, Maine, for Aaron Putnam, who had settled in the Houlton area in 1805.  It was not the first house built in Houlton by Wormwood; a house built for the local doctor in 1812 burned down in 1879.  Houlton was connected to the rest of Maine by a military road built in 1828, and it is probable that the house began to serve as a tavern around then, as it was likely the largest house in the small community.  The house was the scene of several sessions of the Washington County district court before the area was set off as Aroostook County in 1839.  It then held sessions of that county's court for a number of years, and was owned by John Varnum Putnam, the county sheriff for many years.  Putnam's son, Blackhawk, commanded a company of Maine volunteer infantry in the American Civil War.  The property was used as a restaurant for a time after his death; it is now a private residence.

Dawah Man, the baby, and the money - Update
Isn't it amazing? For a year I and others have been requesting information about the health of the baby Imran raised money for and there has been no response. I gathered the evidence from his Facebook pages etc and put it into a blog and within hours he has posted an update.
The first thing I want to say is that I am very pleased to see the baby is okay, his foot operation has gone well and it seems he is now fit enough to travel for surgery. This is excellent news!
I do feel, however, that I should address the facebook post Imran made when he released the new video footage. Evidently he is annoyed that I have been so persistent in requesting information for an update. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking for a status update on a baby who "is going to die" and for whom "time is running out", especially when time was running out over a year ago and money has been raised to save his life. It seems though that Dawah Man is pissed off about having to tell people what he has done with their £32,000 and made a bit of a hissy fit attack against my character, which I now intend to address.
Who is the atheist who made this accusation against me?
First thought, can't I just be a person? There is obviously some kind of mental link here...man do bad thing, man is atheist, atheists bad. My lack of belief in the supernatural is irrelevant, if I had been a Christian or a Muslim, and if Imran had been an atheist I would still have repeatedly asked him for updates on the dying baby.
My second thought: What accusation? No, seriously, what have I accused anyone of? All my post did was to collect posts by Imran (Dawah Man) and lay them out in chronological order. You see, here is the problem, Imran seems to think that someone asking someone who raised £32,000 for charity for an update report is an accusation of theft.
The individual who made this accusation against me is an Islamaphobic person who has dedicated his life in trying to bring down Islam. His whole life has been dedicated to this cause.
I'm sorry for laughing, but really, that was very funny. Firstly I note I am again referred to as "the individual", I am starting to feel a bit like Lord Voldemort, he who should not be named. What's this about me Islamaphobic [sic]. A simple attempt at making me look like an unreasonable and illogical person who acts on emotion (hate probably), when that is nothing like me at all. I create videos about Islam and write the odd blog because once (when I was an agnostic theist) I looked into the subject with the hope of discovering it was true. I found there was a lot of bias & disinformation out there about Islam (from both the Muslim and Christian side) and so I thought others might find the views of a religiously neutral party interesting. I didn't even read the Quran until I was in my mid 30's, so to claim I have been trying to bring down Islam my whole life is laughable.
I am anti-Islam, but only as much as a Muslim is anti-pagan or anti-atheist....in fact, from my experiences I would say to a much lesser degree than that. I care about the truth, circumstances led me to learn about Islam, it took a long time because I had to fight my way through the misinformation, and by the end I just felt that amount of time spent would be a waste if I didn't put forward my own conclusions.
Not only that, but he is known for attacking brothers in the da'wah and trying to put things on them that they are free from. A few months ago he put out an article about a brother who does da'wah saying that he was found on some website where men and women go to cheat on their spouses. Later it was found out that the brother in question was free from this accusation and had been a victim of identity fraud which looked like it was done for the purpose of trying to character assassinate him.
Now, this was the part that made me want to write this response. Imran here is talking about Hamza Andreas Tzortzis and the Ashley Madison incident. I did indeed discover Andreas's information in the hacked database release, but what did I do about it? Did I make a video, write a blog, accuse him of adultery? No! I emailed him my mobile phone number to tell him this information is out in the open. He phoned me and we discussed it privately.
I had just started a 4 day holiday when Andreas got back in touch with me and asked me to check something for him in the DB. One thing led to another and about 2 or 3 days later we had finished going through the database to try to build up a complete picture so that Andreas could establish exactly what was and was not in there. The point is, not only did I not do any kind of character assassination on Andreas, I spent the best part of a short family holiday doing what I would consider work (I work in IT) free of charge. Andreas wrote to thank me for all the help I had given him.
Andreas made a statement on Facebook letting people know his details were in the hack, and then the press picked up on it. I remained silent. At some point the "anti-Hamza" group had started to make false claims about what the data did or did not suggest. One newspaper (I don't recall which) made claims that I knew were untrue having looked at the data myself, but they refused to correct the article. So, with Andreas's blessing I wrote an article myself. I told him in advance (many times in private) that I thought the evidence made a more compelling case for guilt than innocence, but he was happy for me to write the blog because I was setting the facts straight. As a consequence the on-line story with the misinformation in it was altered and the fictitious "smoking gun" was removed.
I hope you, like myself, are struggling to see how these actions were some kind of malicious episode of trying to set up Andreas and sully his reputation? If not, here is a statement Andreas has just sent to me via email with permission for me to include it in this blog:
"Islam teaches us fairness. In no way can the Rationaliser be accused for anything concerning my ID fraud, he actually helped me a lot with access to the data and by interpreting it."
I hope this puts to rest Imran's attempted character assassination?
He has now released this article about myself, when I had already been in touch with him and told him that I will put the information online as I have more updates.
Yes he did, as you saw in the article I posted, but nothing for months, and after 15 months I think it is reasonable for me to decide to stop nagging him for an update on the baby and instead detail the event in a blog and leave it. I didn't want to keep asking him, but I also didn't just want the question to remain unanswered. My blog was intended to give out the information simply as a list of facts so that others can ask him for updates instead, I'd had enough.
It is also worth mentioning that he got in touch with the fraud department at the Metropolitan Police, asking them to investigate this matter further. They got back to him telling him that I am in the clear, yet he is still insisting on pushing this narrative.
I can forgive Imran for this error as I doubt he is in possession of the full facts. I actually contacted Action Fraud, which is a national office run by the police. These people do not have any investigative powers at all, they simply look at the facts and then they decide if the issue looks suspicious enough to be passed on. I provided Action Fraud with the same information I wrote in my blog about Imran, and it was they who decided it looked suspicious and should be passed on to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, and so they did.
Now, the NFIB have some kind of investigative powers, what they do exactly I do not know, but it is the NFIB who are responsible for deciding whether or not the police should be involved, and this is the email I received from them.
As you can see, nobody got back to me to tell me Imran was "in the clear" - but I wouldn't expect Imran to know that. Not only did I not know if Imran was "in the clear" or not, but I wasn't even told if any investigation had been done, and I still don't know if they even went out and interviewed him. For all I know he is only aware of me reporting him because I told him about it on Twitter.
So, to be clear
I reported it to an agency that decides if it should be reported to the police's fraud department.
Based on the information I provided it was they who decided it should be looked at.
They passed it on to the FNIB.
FNIB told me they were not going to pass it on to the police for investigation.
Does that mean I wrote this blog knowing he had been "given the all clear"? Clearly not!
Don't you think that if someone REALLY scammed people for £32,000… online!!! When he is a PUBLIC FIGURE like myself… don't you think this person would already have been behind bars?
First thought: Public figure :)
Second thought: £32,000 is nothing compared to scams that religious people have pulled off in the past, and continue to pull off today. Nobody should ever be beyond suspicion. You were given the benefit of the doubt for 10 months before your constant refusal to comment on the matter made me feel like I had no choice other than to let an independent party investigate.
Remember, Imran, when you collect £32,000 of people's money for charity you have a duty to keep these people updated. Saying you've recorded a video, it's in editing, and will be out next week and then neither releasing it or commenting on the situation for months is not good practice, and it certainly isn't the kind of behaviour donors expect from someone who raises money on a regular basis.
It is not only myself and other atheists who have said so either. I have seen Muslims making comments such as "I am sure he hasn't stolen the money, but he really should have told us by now what is going on". I have even spoken to a Muslim who claims to have asked you about it only to be told you'd be bringing out a video ("Next week" I think he said). Another video that didn't materialise.
Keep in mind that during this whole year I have not once said that I think you have stolen the money, when people have asserted that I have merely replied that I do not know what you have done with it and that I am interested in receiving an update about the dying baby. That is what I repeated in my blog of yesterday too. Please don't present yourself as some kind of victim in all of this just to try to hide the fact that you neglected your donors and/or was incompetent with handling the whole thing. The correspondence email from the US hospital that you showed in your Facebook post was received by you on September 11th, 2015, which means you went a whole six months before bothering to tell us.
Obviously I won't ask you to make a video apologising for your illegitimate attempt at assassinating my character, I don't think I have the patience to wait until "next week" for it to be edited and uploaded. I would like to finish by saying that despite the US putting up the price of the operation to $500,000 due to the baby having a more serious condition than they thought, I was pleased to hear in your update video that you were able to find a hospital in Europe that was willing to do the more complicated treatment at a cost matching exactly how much you've already raised.

Dawah Man, the dying baby, and 32,000 pounds unaccounted for
Here is a screenshot from a video by Imran Khan a.k.a. "DawahMan". It was posted on Facebook on November 17th, 2014.
In this video he thanks his viewers for the tens of thousands of pounds they have raised for him in the past to fund various things, and then goes on to ask for more money than he has ever asked for before. He said:
Today I'm asking you guys to be generous, but with a cause that's more closer to home. From my mother's side of the family in Pakistan I have a relative whose younger child is only two years old is suffering from respiratory distress syndrome. I'm not a doctor so I don't want to go too much into the science of how it works, you can check it all out online, but basically what it means is that the oxygen isn't travelling around his body and he's...[pause]...gonna die.
On November 25th, 2014 he posted another video, again asking for more money.
I've been fund raising for this young baby in my extended family, he's two years old and his name is Ali, and he's suffering from a lung problem...and he's actually...the doctors told him he won't survive unless he has a treatment done.
As for the money collected so far (approximately 50% - about £16,000) he said:
The money that has already come through I have sent it over to them and the parents, when they collected the money...erm, forgive me, rather it's been collected on their behalf by a family member
On December 1st, 2014 he posted another video, again asking for money
Thank you guys for all the money that has been raised for baby Adian...We have reached basically practically just under £20,000. Just a little bit more to go before we can get the full money to get his treatment over in the USA. I mean, he is in critical condition. Without the machines he is rigged up to he would die. Time is running out.
On December 12th, 2014 another video appeared on Facebook.
This time it was a video created by the baby's (Ali / Adian?) mother, speaking in Urdu. The English text on the post read:
The baby in my family who we have been fund raising for, this is a video from his mother showing how bad his condition is. She's speaking in urdu but she's explaining how he is deteriorating
They may have to amputate his leg if we don't get the treatment started in time. Plz plz plz be generous with your donations ... WAllahi my family is truly grateful to you all for all your love, support and most importantly Du'as
A translation of the Urdu spoken by the baby's mother is as follows:
Two of the veins in my child's brain have been damaged, he has a heart problem, he has a clot in the left [unknown] and now his chest is raising. His feet also have a [unknown] problem. Over here, in Pakistan, the doctors have given their answer, that his treatment is not possible here. I appeal that you give whatever help you can for my child's life. We'll try whatever's possible. There's also a saying in the hadith that whoever saves a life it is as though they've saved the whole of mankind.
Thanks to RazaSaab for the translation
The last screen shot I was able to capture of the fund raiser was at £30,000 just before Imran created a video (that I now cannot find) claiming the baby had to have his foot amputated and was too ill to travel to the US for his life critical life saving treatment he needs otherwise he will die.
I was later informed by Imran that the full £32,000 had been raised. Unfortunately any attempts at asking Imran for an update on the baby's health has led nowhere further than empty promises of update videos, and asking him where the money is / has been spent results only in threats of legal action for libel (even though not once have I done anything other than ask for information, I have made no accusations)
April 20th: Intended update
May 9th: Update "next week"
May 22nd: Update just needs editing and uploading
May 22nd: Confirmation that £32,000 was raised
Since then Dawah Man has outright ignored the question. It's now the end of March 2016; 15 months after he finished raising the money, and 10 months after the promised update that was due "next week". Since then Imran has uploaded over 50 videos to his Facebook page.
Is the baby alive? Does he have the medical equipment his parents needed to buy to keep him alive? Has he been flown to the US for treatment? Are you ever going to release accounts showing where the money went?

Requesting volunteers for an experiment
I'd like to do a short experiment regarding human memory. I'm looking for a handful of people who will be willing to watch a short video of some event I have yet to choose (nothing disturbing) and then answer a question or two about it whilst I record both the question and the answer. I'd then like to get back in touch about a month later to requestion you, the second interview will also be recorded.
You'll need to make yourself available via an Internet video chat for 5 to 10 minutes on two occasions, approximately one month apart.
You'll be free to change your mind at any point and no longer participate, in which case any footage of you I have will be deleted and not used.
You'll be shown the production before it is released and have the right to have your contribution removed.
To prevent a copyright claim on the final video, if you agree to your footage being used in the final video after previewing it then you waive the right to request your footage to be unused or for the final production to be removed.
Your face will be visible in the video.
To register your interest please email TheRationaliser at gmail.com with the subject "Experiment".
iERA still on the Scientific Miracles band wagon
This blog post has moved here
You may recall members of the online atheist community (Captain Disguise, Stop1Spamming, PZ Myers and myself) set about ridiculing the iERA's claims that the Quran contained "Scientific Miracles", accurate information that pre-dates scientific discovery by over a millennia.
Finally it seems that iERA saw the error of their ways and decided to drop that narrative. Of course, the narrative wasn't dropped until they could think up a way of being right after all; in summary the approach is "Science is good when the Quran matches its rules, otherwise it is useful but wrong".
Mr Tzortzis wrote the following
Regrettably, the scientific miracles narrative has become an intellectual embarrassment for Muslim apologists, including myself. A few years ago I took some activists to Ireland to engage with the audience and speakers at the World Atheist Convention. Throughout the convention we had a stall outside the venue and as a result positively engaged with hundreds of atheists, including the popular atheist academics Professor P. Z. Myers and Professor Richard Dawkins. During our impromptu conversation with Professor Myers we ended up talking about God's existence and the Divine nature of the Qur'ān. The topic of embryology came up, and Professor Myers being an expert in the field challenged our narrative. He claimed that the Qur'ān did not predate modern scientific conclusions in the field. As a result of posting the video of the engagement on-line we faced a huge intellectual backlash. We received innumerable amounts of emails by Muslims and non-Muslims. The Muslims were confused and had doubts, and the non-Muslims were bemused with the whole approach. Consequently, I decided to compile and write an extensive piece on the Qur'ān and embryology, with the intention to respond to popular and academic contentions...When the paper was published it was placed under a microscope by atheist activists. Although they misrepresented some of the points, they raised some significant contentions. I have since removed the paper from my website. In retrospect if this never happened, I probably wouldn't be writing this essay now. It is all a learning curve and an important part of developing intellectual integrity. [Emphasis is mine]
The Quran contains information that pre-dated human discovery.
The only entity that could have known this information also created the universe.
Therefore the author of the Quran is the creator of the universe.
I am pleased iERA were embarrassed by this claim, it's outright silly and clearly no effort had been put into researching the truth of premise 1, let alone having any evidence for premise 2. I had hoped they'd just go back to telling gullible members of the public that the Quran is a linguistic miracle they could see if only they could understand Arabic, and for now they should take the word of the Da'ee (who probably doesn't understand Arabic).
On February 26th 2016 iERA hosted a Don't Hate Debate event "Does Islam need a reformation?" which I blogged about here. Whilst hanging around waiting for the event to start I was offered a copy of the following booklet, which I finally had a quick peek inside this morning.
Well, the first thing to note is the use of the word "Miraculous" on the cover. Okay, I can let that slide even though I disagree with it, it's subjective. What did catch my eye though was pages 42-49. Here is a selection
So, what do we see here? First the old expanding universe claim. It claims " lamusi'una also means that God is actually continuously expanding it." Of course this is rubbish, the word in question is not a verb so cannot be something ongoing nor something completed, it is a noun. Your mother gave birth to you, that's a past tense verb; but she will forever remain "your giver of birth" even though then act is now over with. This verse says nothing more than "Allah is the expander of the universe", without saying whether it is expanding, or expanded. The book concludes "This is surprisingly in line with modern discoveries that the universe is expanding."
Okay, so they didn't use the word words "scientific miracle", but on the subject of a book that is claimed to be miraculous it is claimed the information in it is "surprisingly" in line for modern discoveries?
The next page goes on to talk about embryology. Initially I was relieved to see an acknowledgement on this page that Greek and Hebrew physicians used to say the same thing before the Quran was revealed made up. The next pages contain images from "The Developing Human - With Islamic Additions", the book by Keith Moore which acknowledges none other than the billionaire Usama Bin Ladin; presumably Usama provided financial of some kind rather than providing proof-reading services.
It goes on to claim that doctors of the time would not have known that the embryo at this early stage resembles a leech because this view of the embryo could not have been discovered until after the 15th century, when microscope was invented. Yet again a veiled scientific miracle claim is made without using the words themselves. If this information could not have been known until the 15th century then how could Muhammad have known it in the 7th century? Obviously the Quran doesn't say anything about the embryo looking like a leech. Hundreds of years earlier Galen had already described the leech like properties of embryos. See my video Embryology In The Quran.
Although iERA have stopped using the term "Scientific miracles" they have continued to beg the question of how Muhammad could have known X centuries before it was discovered by humans. Not much of a change of stance, is it? It brings the words of Mr Tzortzis back into my mind:
Regrettably, the scientific miracles narrative has become an intellectual embarrassment for Muslim apologists, including myself...It is all a learning curve and an important part of developing intellectual integrity.
Mr T didn't write this book, but it is being peddled on Dawah stands by iERA. They are passing on to members of the public information they claim they do not believe to be miraculous, in a book about how miraculous the Quran is. How intellectually dishonest is that?
Douglas Adams chose 42 to be "the answer to life, the universe, and everything", and it was page 42 of this book claiming the Quran has all of the answers to life, the universe, and everything that amused me the most.
For more than a century, the speed of light had been locked in as the universe's ultimate speed limit. No experiment had seen anything moving faster than light, which travels at 186,000 miles per second. This assumption underpinned much of modern physics. That was, until an experiment at CERN laboratory in 2011 recorded particles travelling faster than the speed of light. This recent discovery turned the world of physics on its head. It just goes to show how even the most fundamental theories about our universe can be completely overthrown in an instant.
Seriously? The details here are quite confused; there was no announcement of faster than light particles, the experimenters were asking for help to identify the problem with their experiment after failing to find it themselves. The speed of neutrinos was confirmed to not be faster than light only months later, and the fault at OPERA was identified, fixed, and confirmed in May 2013, and yet the copyright in this book is 2015!
No wonder they are a joke amongst the atheist community, referred to as iError and laughed at as they peddle their silly and inaccurate misunderstandings of science in order to promote their delusions to the gullible.
Does Islam need a reformation? - iERA: Don't hate, debate!
I recently attended a discussion in London hosted by iERA. It was entitled "Does Islam need a reformation?" I was pleased that, as I expected, the iERA crew were very friendly with me.
The whole video can be watched here. If I recall correctly, the discussion basically went like this
Question about Islam
Answer: Islam is already great, if we did more of it then everything would be brilliant. PS, look at how bad the non-Islamic world is (a.k.a. "The West").
After lots of persistent hand waving I was finally granted permission to ask a question. At 1 hour 16 minutes and 45 seconds I got to make the following statement
On the question of modernity and reformation, isn't it more of a case of "Does Islam need to avoid stagnation?" For example, in Surat Al Baqara, chapter 2 verse 282, it talks about how [you should] get a man as a witness but if you can't then use two women so one may remind the other if she errs. Now, in modern times I can't really see how that's an issue because most people in society can read and write; they can recognise their own signature on a piece of paper; there's nothing for them to actually remember!"
Then on to my question
The four main schools of jurisprudence, and the founders; there's Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali, Hanifi all say that if someone openly admits that they no longer are a Muslim they should be killed. In a modern caliphate would that be an acceptable position, has that position already been reformed, or does Islam need reforming?
The first thing to note is how quickly the chair, Lauren Booth, decided to summarise the question, even though the question itself was actually very short. She said
I'm just going to summarise that before you come back. I think we want to keep it here in the UK. I just want these last few questions to remain about life in the UK rather than in a fantasy caliphate.
I didn't ask about a fantasy caliphate. The purpose of my question was to establish whether the punishment is still considered to be valid, if it has already been reformed, or if the panel thinks it should be reformed. Which of these options would a "true Islam" caliphate choose? Yet as soon as I asked a question the principles of the political / legal side of Islam my question was somewhat ridiculed as a fantasy, something that isn't in the real world.
After some discussion about the comment I made before the question itself, Tom Holland brought the subject back to my question and asked if Muslims should be free to apostatise. I wish I had discussed my planned question with Tom at the start of the talk, because I deliberately avoided the word apostasy for a good reason. Having spoken to Abdullah Al Andalusi for a number of hours in the past I was already well aware of how slippery he is when it comes to this question. I knew there were two methods he uses to avoid having to answer this question:
Claim the word "Apostasy" is a western invention, and that Islam is actually talking about treason.
Claim that we are all free to think whatever we like because Muslims are not able to read our thoughts.
To prevent slippery escape #1 I used the words "no longer a Muslim", and to prevent slippery escape #2 I used the words "openly admits". The schools of jurisprudence I mentioned all say that someone who outwardly manifests behaviour of transitioning from Muslim to non-Muslim can be killed.
When Tom Holland used the word "apostasy" he left the gap in the door of opportunity slightly ajar and enabled Abdullah Al Andalusi to slither his way out of it. But, just to make sure the truth of the situation wasn't accidentally told, Lauren Booth (who probably hasn't heard Andalusi wriggle out of this before) decided to change the question for a second time.
So I think actually, putting it in the context about the reformation of Islam...if we are living in Britain do the rules about apostasy apply and do they need changing...
Britain is not an Islamic country and Muslims have to abide by our British law system on the death penalty regardless of what their Islamic law is regarding Muslims leaving their religion. The purpose of this shift was clear, it was to give Muslim panellists the opportunity to answer in a way that gives the impression there is no death penalty for leaving Islam, without having to admit that it is only a version of Islam crippled by British law that makes this the case. Of course those who leave Islam should not be killed (because British law forbids it).
And then in came Mr Andalusi. Would he answer the question I asked, or would he monopolise on the get-out clauses he had been awarded both deliberately and accidentally?
He started "The old chestnut of apostasy is always brought up. I've always said the same thing, and I'll say it again". At that point I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt he was going to take the opportunity to dodge my carefully worded question.
First he says there is no law under a caliphate or in the UK that creates an inquisition that will check everyone's beliefs and see if they have left Islam or not. That is true. As long as one continues to pray, fast, and never mention to anyone that one's faith in Islam has gone then the Islamic state will leave you alone. However, according to those four main schools of Jurisprudence if one refuses to perform obligatory religious practices such as praying, or if one openly admits they no longer believe, then they to be killed unless they go back to pretending they are still Muslim.
It's at this point I shouted out in protest "That's not what I asked!" (1h 20m 30s). I wish iERA hadn't edited the video to show the audience at this point, because my memory of what happened next was Andalusi looking me straight in the eye, sheepishly, as he deceived his way through his answer. I silently mouthed "Shame! Shame!" at him, and shook my head in disappointment.
Next he went on to explain how the Arabic word Irtidaad is really about treason, and not about someone who just changes their mind.....in their own head, and that's it. Even in his dodging he has to add his own clause in order to ensure he is being accurate in his answer even if not entirely truthful.
Andalusi goes off on a tangent for a while, and even in bringing him back to the subject of the question Lauren Booth once again puts forward a question with the "in the UK" clause that offers him the opportunity to get off the hook while leaving non-Muslims and cultural-Muslims feeling that political Islam is all nice and fluffy and people living within a caliphate are free pass gaily through life not having to worry about what might happen to them if ever they change their mind about being a Muslim.
At 1h 22m and 12s I shouted out the request for him to answer my question. Lauren Booth refused, saying I had already asked a question. I shouted out that he is obfuscating, and she replied "I don't think he is, I have asked him twice." - Unfortunately she asked him her own question twice, not mine.
At 1h 38m and 43s onwards a Hindu guy asked a question, and refers to my question as having been "neatly dodged". At 1h 45m 20s a member of the audience says
There's been a lot of obscurantism on the part of, in particular, Abdullah Al Andalusi when it comes to the matter of apostasy.
I think the point was made very clearly. The ex-Muslim cat is out of the bag, the British public are being made aware of it, and hopefully it will encourage more Muslims to reject Hadiths if not Islam itself.

Christian graves desecrated by Muslims at Longsight church in Manchester
I've been reading Enemy Of The State by Stephen Yaxley, a.k.a Tommy Robinson. On page 112 he claims that Muslims in Longsight, Manchester were desecrating the graves of Christians after buying St Johns church and converting it into a mosque.
Here is a link to a video to the kind of scene that would have greeted the protesters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_yejeSZdwU and is also the video Tommy Robinson directed me to as his evidence - Please watch it in full.
The EDL protested against this desecration of graves, but I think Tommy Robinson was misled in order to outrage people against Muslims, and no such grave desecration took place. As this seemingly false claim is documented in his book, and therefore being spread, I am hoping to prove beyond reasonable doubt that this is an error (an honest one I think) and also hoping that Tommy will accept this and ensure the record is set straight in the form of an errata webpage for his book.
The YouTube video shows a lovely photo of a Christian church complete with gravestones, and then the footage taken at later date shows a flattened ground with a headstone on the floor. The first thing to note is that these are not showing the same side of the building.
The picturesque church with graves.
The church as seen in the video footage.
The scene of the video footage on Google Maps taken in July 2015.
One of the great things about Google Street View is that they take photos on more than one occasion. This enables us to look at a scene and then compare it to some point in the past. In this case photos were available for July 2015, and as far back as September 2008.
Street View: July 2015 Vs Sept 2008.
Whatever was happening in the video footage it was after September 2008. Judging from the 2008 photo there wasn't an area that was being used as a graveyard.. So what was happening? According to this local news report from The Manchester Evening News, dated 10th of September, 2009, the former garden of the church was being turned into a car park when builders discovered headstones. The report reads
It is understood the headstones, which have not been identified, were not part of the graveyard - which has not been used since 1966 - but had been moved at some point to form pathways through a church garden, before being covered over.
The discovery was of headstones previously used on graves that had been moved at some point in the past to create a path in the garden, and over time had been lost beneath the undergrowth as the garden was no longer maintained. These were not graves. The same news report reads:
The developers immediately ordered all work to stop. Council planning officers are now investigating.
Arshad Nawaz, trustee of the charity that runs the centre, stressed that no grave had been disturbed.
He said some £50,000 had been spent to repair the church, which had become dilapidated over the years. The graves and gravestones had been `carefully preserved', he added.
"As Muslims we very strongly believe in the sanctity of mankind," he said.
Note how the language switches from headstones to gravestones in this article. This is because the preserved part of the land actually had graves on it. These graves were preserved as part of the £50,000 spent restoring this Grade II listed building.
Looking through images of the site over the years using Google Earth it would appear that this area of the church has been very overgrown and neglected for a number of years before the building was restored by Muslims and used as a mosque.
Planning permission to convert the area at the side of the church into a car park was granted multiple times to different people, on the following dates
September 1st, 1998 - Flats plus a car park - Reference 055108/LO/CENTL2/98
September 17th, 1998 - Flats plus a car park - Reference 055233/FO/CENTL2/98
December 21st, 2005 - Car park only - Reference 078040/FO/2005/N2
The "desecrated gravestone" image seems to have come from a news report made by the British National Party (BNP) on September 6th, 2005. The report (now deleted but archived here) reads
The bloodless genocide and ethnic cleansing of the British people and culture continues apace with the latest example being the ripping up of a century old Christian cemetery to make way for a mosque in Manchester.
The grave desecrations, being carried out with a large Komatsu earthmover in the graveyard of the St John the Apostle and Evangelist church at the corner of Holmfirth Street and St John's Road, is part of the re-opening of this nineteenth century church as the Dar-ul-Ulum Qadria Jilania "Islamic Centre."
Given the evidence it would seem the BNP used this discovery of a covered up pathway (which had been made out of unused headstones when the church had a garden) and then used it to spread hatred against Muslims by claiming they were tearing down the graves of Christians; the ultimate slap in the face of Christianity from Islam. From there the EDL were stirred up with this misinformation and came to demonstrate against this seemingly sacrilegious act. Soon afterwards local Muslim graves were targeted nearby by vandals.
UP to 20 Muslim graves have been vandalised in a racially motivated attack at a south Manchester cemetery.
Vandals struck at the Southern Cemetery on Barlow Moor Road sometime overnight on Thursday.
Staff arrived at the cemetery to find up to 20 gravestones had been deliberately pushed over, and a number had broken.
The attack is being treated as racially motivated as only Muslim graves were targeted.
Manchester Evening Standard, October 2nd, 2009
The Manchester Evening Standard article explaining the story of the graveless headstones and the garden path was published within 4 days of the BNP's misinformation exercise but, unfortunately, it was the BNP story that got the attention of the EDL. It seems as though the former EDL leader was duped by Nick Griffin and The BNP, who's agenda was always to seed hatred for anyone not white.
So what did happen to the stones that were on the graves at the side of the church that was being used as a cemetery? They are still there!
Google Street View: Taken July 2015
What these people actually did was spend £50,000 to preserve an abandoned church, and respect the dead.

Bazylika Ostrzyhomska, oficjalnie: katedra Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Marii Panny i Świętego Wojciecha (węg. Nagyboldogasszony és Szent Adalbert Prímási Főszékesegyház) – katedra w Ostrzyhomiu, największa i najważniejsza katedra katolicka na Węgrzech, klasycystyczna świątynia wybudowana na miejscu wcześniejszej XII-wiecznej świątyni św. Wojciecha, zniszczonej podczas walk z Turkami. Świątynię, zaprojektowaną przez architektów: Pála Kühnela, Janosa Pakha i Józsefa Hilda, wznoszono w latach 1822–1869. Katedra jest siedzibą arcybiskupa Ostrzyhomia i Budapesztu i jednocześnie prymasa Węgier.

Historia

Pierwsza przedromańska katedra została wzniesiona w tym miejscu w latach 1001-1010 jako Kościół św. Wojciecha w związku z kultem świętego propagowanym przez cesarza Ottona III. W XIII w. powstała okazała świątynia romańska. Przebudowana wkrótce w stylu gotyckim, imponowała w tamtych czasach swą formą i bogactwem dekoracji. W XVI w. podczas okupacji tureckiej budowla uległa dewastacji, urządzono tu m.in. magazyn prochu. Po rozgromieniu przez Jana III Sobieskiego armii tureckiej i odbiciu w 1683 r. miasta sanktuarium było już bardzo zniszczone. Zdecydowano, że świątynię należy rozebrać. Obecny kościół wzniesiony w latach 1822–1869, w stylu klasycystycznym. Konsekracji katedry dokonano w 1856 r. w obecności cesarza Austrii Franciszka Józefa I. Obecnie bazylika jest siedzibą prymasa Węgier.

Architektura
Katedra w Ostrzyhomiu jest zbudowana na planie krzyża, z szerokim centralnym transeptem i umieszczonymi w narożach kaplicami. Świątynia charakteryzuje się bardzo dużymi rozmiarami, ma prawie 120 m długości i 40 m szerokości. Dominującym elementem jest kopuła, oparta na wysokim bębnie otoczonym kolumnami. Jej szczyt osiąga 100 m wysokości. Fasadę główną wyróżnia ogromny portyk kolumnowy. Ma on klasyczne formy i jest zwieńczony trójkątnym tympanonem. Po bokach fasady usytuowano dwie wieże, wyodrębnione z głównej bryły.

Wnętrze pozbawione naw bocznych jest wyjątkowo przestronne. Dwie szerokie nawy krzyżują się pod monumentalną kopułą. Jej wnętrze rozświetla szereg dużych okien. Ściany kościoła są pokryte jasnoszarym marmurem, urozmaiconym elementami z czerwonego kamienia. Sklepienia zdobią delikatnie złocone ornamenty.

Tuż przy wejściu do sanktuarium, po lewej stronie, znajduje się dzieło włoskiego renesansu – kaplica Bakócza. Została ona wybudowana na początku XVI w. jako kaplica grobowa arcybiskupa. Do 1822 r. była samodzielną budowlą, przylegającą do wcześniejszej katedry. Po wybudowaniu obecnej świątyni podzielono ją na małe części i odtworzono w jednej wewnętrznych kaplic.

W ostrzyhomskiej bazylice znajdują się malowidła, obrazy i rzeźby artystów włoskich i wiedeńskich z drugiej połowy XIX w. W wyraźnie wyniesionym prezbiterium jest duży obraz w ołtarzu głównym – kopia dzieła Tycjana, przedstawiająca wniebowzięcie. W pobliżu bazyliki w 2001 roku wzniesiono statuę koronacji św. Stefana.

Za prezbiterium katedry w Ostrzyhomiu znajduje się najcenniejszy na Węgrzech skarbiec katedralny. Są w nim przechowywane złote naczynia liturgiczne, bogato zdobione szaty oraz słynna Kalwaria króla Macieja Korwina, czy XIII-wieczny krzyż koronacyjny, wykonany ze złota, wysadzany perłami i kamieniami szlachetnymi, ważący ponad 7 kg.

Dla turystów udostępniony jest taras widokowy, ulokowany tuż pod kopułą świątyni, z którego jest widok na miasto, zakole Dunaju i odległe góry.

Home Lifestyle Community Happenings Students find alternatives for Halloween celebrations
Students find alternatives for Halloween celebrations

As Utah reels from rising numbers of COVID-19, college students across the state are making plans for Halloween.
Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted a list of precautions and alternate activities to safely celebrate Halloween. However, a group called Utah Tonight appeared determined to throw a Halloween party in protest of the pandemic social distancing guidelines, according to its social media accounts.
The party has officially been canceled, with event organizers claiming harassment and intimidation as the reason why. Thousands were expected to attend the event, despite coronavirus guidelines currently in place.
The event's website said those 18 years or older had to sign a disclaimer, which stated they understood they were putting themselves at risk of getting COVID-19.
"The more attendees we get, the more our voices will be heard," the event details stated.
The controversy comes as COVID-19 cases spike in Utah, with the Utah Department of Health reporting 1,837 new cases Thursday.
In September, Utah County health officials attributed a spike in cases to off-campus activities, including parties, from Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University students.
Amid the guidelines, students at SLCC are finding alternatives for celebrating Halloween this year.
"It's trying to find as much stuff you can do indoors, like decorating your house or apartment, watching as many Halloween movies as you can," said James Arias, who recently took a sociology course at SLCC. "I myself am building a costume of my own. I can't wear it outside, but it's fun to build it."
Culinary student Raymond Stapleton, however, said he thinks the precautions are extreme.
"I call nonsense on this," he said. "It doesn't make sense to me how 2020 Census takers can go door-to-door, but kids can't when trick-or-treating. I don't think I would attend the [Utah Tonight] party, but I think these restrictions are out of hand."
Communication student Adrian Ortiz-Montoya said, like so much around the pandemic, it's about finding a balance.
"People should definitely follow the CDC guidelines and I think people should still be able to celebrate, just safely," he explained. "If there is something people want to do that doesn't follow guidelines, they should wait until next year. This year is unique, but we can still celebrate Halloween."

La  Basilica Cattedrale Primaziale di Gniezno è la più antica cattedrale di Polonia. Essa è dedicata all'Assunzione di Maria Vergine e a Sant'Adalberto.

Storia
Il primo edificio un oratorio, risale al IX secolo. Nel 970 il duca Piast di Polonia Mieszko I fa edificare la prima vera chiesa dedicata a San Giorgio e fa di questo paese la prima vera capitale della Polonia. Alla fine di questo secolo diventa vescovo della città il fratellastro di Sant'Adalberto di Praga Gaudenzio, che farà deporre nella chiesa le spoglie del vescovo martire. Alla morte di Gaudenzio 1016 anche il suo corpo sarà inumato nella Cattedrale assieme a fratello. Gaudenzio non è stato santificato ma gode tuttora di grande venerazione da parte del popolo polacco. La chiesa da quel momento verrà dedicata a Adalberto che diviene patrono della nascente Polonia. Nel 1025 vi viene incoronato re Bolesław Chrobry, primo re della Polonia.

Nel 1034 il duca di Boemia Bretislav I invade la capitale polacca e preleva le reliquie del santo per portale trionfalmente a Praga. Secondo una tradizione in realtà all'invasore vennero date le spoglie del fratellastro, mentre quelle di Adalberto vennero sottratte al furto. Nel 1076 vi viene incoronato re Boleslao II di Polonia.

Nel 1175 la cattedrale si arricchisce di un bellissimo portale bronzeo che racconta su bassorilievi di bella fattura romanica la storia del santo martire. Un sarcofago argenteo conserva tuttora le spoglie di Adalberto.

L'attuale cattedrale venne costruita per volere dell'arcivescovo Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki, già rettore dell'Università di Bologna e costruttore della Cattedrale del Wawel di Cracovia, a partire dal 1342 in stile gotico secondo i stilemi francesi dell'epoca. Nel 1390 venne terminato il coro, e nel XV secolo il piedicroce.

YOUTH: Newcastle 2 - 2 United
The under-18s played Newcastle on Saturday morning
@CUFCAcademy
The United youth team's final pre-season friendly of a strange summer was the short hop over the A69 to face Newcastle United.
And it started as a tough outing for the young Blues as the Magpies deservedly claimed a first half lead.
Newcastle extended their lead moments after the break, but United rallied and goals from Dylan Garvey and Sam Fishburn saw the away side complete an impressive turnaround.
Youth boss Eric Kinder said: "We were poor in the first half, we just didn't get going at all.
"They took the lead and we huffed and puffed, but there was nowhere near the quality we wanted to see.
"When Newcastle scored just after the break we did think it was probably gone from us, but it actually went the other way.
"Things clicked, we started to find our passes and the tempo was excellent. Dylan and Sam got their goals, and we were a whisker away from winning it at the end when Fishburn popped a good effort just wide.
"So, having started the morning feeling really disappointed, we end up coming away feeling really pleased and with more positives to talk about."
More details to follow.
YOUTH: I have no doubt he'll be more than fine
Championship side Blackburn Rovers head into today's home game against Stoke City just five points shy of the play-off places, and there's every possibility that they'll have Carlisle youth graduate...
YOUTH: Port Vale game postponed
The return to action in 2021 for the under-18 side has been delayed with the weekend home fixture against Port Vale postponed due to the recent spell of bad weather.
YOUTH: Fixtures and results for season 2020/21
United's under-18 side compete in the EFL Youth Alliance north-west division again this season and you can keep track of their progress right here.
