Did my reply answer your question? Accept it as a solution to help others.
I have had dozens of issues with the free version of TeamViewer timing out on me. I use it to help my family members and love the tool when it works great. I believe that I have accidently at times installed TeamViewer but when I select unattended access, it somehow flags that it is no longer the free version and I constantly get plagued with 5 minute time restrictions.
So now that I was using that install method on my family's computer (who all live far away), I would need to somehow uninstall and reinstall the program to ensure that there is no time limit.
My request is to easily switch the account to Free and that it also fixes the connections of all of the computers associated with the account. It should be an easy fix instead of a reinstall pain. Thanks for your consideration.
Re-reading your issue, I will have to correct my original answer. I assumed this was about false "business use" alerts, however, as you stated: reinstalling fixed this, so it's not a problem attached to an ID but to the installation itself.
In this case, you could remotely fix this problem using a QuickSupport module in order to reinstall the full version of TeamViewer. Please keep in mind, that also a mixed use, i.e. both private and commercial use, requires a license.
I have forwarded your suggestion to our product management. Such ideas are always welcome, although I can not promise when or if this Feature will be implemented, as the decision is based on public demand.
I still have some old computers (my mom's, my brother's, my two old ones that are also already recycled etc.) added in my TeamViewer account even though they don't exist anymore. How many computers is still allowed to have in order to use TeamViewer for free?
I installed TV11 and don't remember which licence option I chose.
Now I get notification "Your trial period has expired!" and unable to connect to this PC.
I have deleted and reinstall TV11 with NON-comercial licence type.
But still have such message and unable to connect.
How to fix it?
I keep getting this on 2 PCs that I've installed this on. The 3 other PCs never have this issue??
How do I fix these too machines so it doesn't time out after 5 minutes.
Demo Version
TeamViewer Free does not allow connections to customized
Host module clients with your own company logo. Please use
the basic Host module or the full version.
This session will be terminated after 5 minutes
Hi BKlemencic,
Thank you for your post!
With the free version of TeamViewer you can have up to 50 computers/contacts and it still be a free account. If want to add more than 50 devices in your account, you may consider purchasing a business license and you would be able to make unlimitedd connections.
You can always delete any computers/contacts in your account if you are no longer connecting to them.
Hope this is helpful!
All the best,
I am having the same problem with TV10. Please help!
If memory serves the way I got arround this prior to purchasing my license was to do an install on another computer (not any of the ones I had previously installed on) and when I did that I chose personal under the dropdown durring the install.
give that a try.
The error you're getting means you are using a custom host module rather than the normal one.
The custom module is aimed towards business use, so companies can front their own logos. This requires a licence.
If you'd like to get rid of this error, you'll have to reinstall it using the standard software here:
I understand that V12 is in Beta at the moment. I am asking if V12 is going to require a license because there is a warning notice on the Upgrade Version that a license may be required. I am a personal home user working with family & friends & would not want to have this capability lost. Will there still be a FREE version of V 12?
Dear Henagon,
Thank you for your post!
We believe that private users should be able to help their friends and family with TeamViewer and count on our free users to provide us with valuable feedback on our software. That is why TeamViewer will of course continue to be free for personal use in version 12.
Only users who wish to work with TeamViewer 12 in a commercial environment will have to purchase a licence or an update of the licence they have. The message you received is targeted at users who already own a licence for a lower TeamViewer version because we want them to be aware of the fact that updating the software may require a licence update as well.
If you are using TeamViewer to connect to your friends and family only, you can simply go ahead and start using the free version of TeamViewer 12 :)
All the best,
I made the misstake to install Teamviewer as both personal and company user eventhough i only have it for personal use. I now uninstalled but still Teamviewer reports as trial license expired when i try to use without installing or if i install as a personal use.
How can this be solved ?
Best Regards, Richard
That is great news. I use TeamViewer to help Family and Friends with issues. Although I have said that due to the important of such a great program I would be willing to purchase a single license. Can not remember how we functioned before...talking over issues on the phone...asking what 'they' see on their screen etc etc.
As I described I reinstalled TV. This did not help
Did you uninstall and re-install as a non-comercial on all of your clients?
I uninstalled and installed only on PC that warned about commercial trial version
TeamViewer is very cunning in how they monitor their licenses. If any of your machines are set to commercial or both. Then your license will be marked as such.
As a side note, if you have a personal account and have a vendor log into your machine, it may warn you that they think your commercially using TeamViewer, and ask if you should purchase it. If you are actually using it for personal purposes this will not be an issue. I have many residential customers who use teamviewer for their remote control of their home computer. I will help them using my commercial account and they have never reported an issue. However other vendors I work with, have had issues.
Uninstall it from ALL machines you installed Teamviewer on, Then start from scratch, and when you install make sure you use the correct option. OR use a different email address.
I'll probably installed by mistake Teamviewer version 11 for commercial use. After about 2 weeks I tried using Teamviewer, but the application displayed a message telling me that the trial period has expired.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Teamviewer 11 for private use, but I always say that the trial period has expired.
Who can help me please?
P.S. sorry for my bad english.
I am getting a false "COMMERCIAL USE DETECTED" alert. That's a very serious problem and it's not the first time it happens. My brother was in urgent need of help with his pc and asked me to help him, but I couldn't because your app blocked me. He says It almost got him fired but he ended up having to pay 50 bucks to have his computer fixed that same day.
I've had this issue before. My account has less than 10 machines assigned to it, all from friends and family, some even obsolete. Yet everytime I try to connect I get this annoying and very insulting pop-up calling me a cheater, sort of speak. Can you please solve this once and for all so I won't have to contact you again on this matter or, worse, face a similar situation and get desperate? I would really appreciate that. And please do it ASAP. Thank you.
I just installed Teamviewer 12 beta.
But now it is counting down because of the trial version?
I use this at home (private use) so how can I set Teamviewer to 'private use' ?
Please help?
I have same problem than topic's author. I have already sumit a ticket last monday but I don't have reply.
My ticket id is : 2814480
Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor english spoken.
I've installed TeamViewer on my new laptop and, by mistake, I have probably selected other licence than personal one because now I'm getting an error: Your trial period has expired!
Unsinstalling TeamViewer and reinstalling with a personal licence won't work (it gives me same licence expiration message).
I've opened a case with TeamViewer (2823645) but no solution was provided.
Could you help me solving this issue and using again TeamViewer, please?
I am a private person and only use TeamViewer with my personnal computers. No comercial use.
Many thanks,
Mr. D.
I tried to remove TV several times. Cleaned up registry, but then after new installation again it displays "Your trial period has expired!"
How to remove it completely?
I accidentally selected the commercial use and now I can not use the program on their personal home computer
How do I return the program back to non-commercial use?
Hi Jay_J
Thank you for your reply.
I have already sent a ticket (2821175 of Nov 11), but no log files.
I must re-submit?
Hi everyone! I am trying to re-install TeamViewer for Personale/Private use but I can't do this anymore because of this problem.
Can someone help me please? I need to use it!
Thank you Davide
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to help my Wife with her install of TV11 (Windows PC). I believe she didn't install the personal use, free version because she now gets a trial version expiration message when she starts up TV. From what it looks like the personal version is free for use but when I uninstall, download again and install the trial version (selecting personal use during the install) the message of trial version expiration pops up again.
What is the best way of going about uninstalling TV completely so we can reinstall and make sure the personal use version is installed so she can use it without the licenseregistration and trial period ending message abeing shown (she only has about 2 days left before the trial ends). In case I'm completely misunderstanding how the personal use version works please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Good luck getting a resolution on this. I too am using TeamViewer on one PC in my home, and they are claiming that the software thinks I am working at a corporation or something. I have been sent in multiple support tickets and I'm now 2 weeks into trying to solve this problem on ticker #2811876.
I am no further along that I was two weeks ago. Support requested my logs, then they disappeared.
Not having access to TeamViewer has made my life much more difficult, and I'm sure it's the same for other people, but I absolutely refuse to pay $849!! for a single user license for home use.
I hope you have more luck with this than I have. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
I own at least 6 personal computers and about 8 family members computers I fix for them, I am not using Teamviewer for commercial use but the app thinks that I am how come?
Chances are when you installed teamviewer on one of those machines you chose that you where using it for professional purposes or mixed use. Once you do that it flags all of your systems that are on your account with it. To my knowledge I am not sure how to undo that. Maybe talk to TV support?
I am in a similar situation, a few own PCs and a lot of family and friends and i have this "issue" everytime i change my "main" computer. After some time i get the message that i'm suspicious to use TeamViewer commercially. This is not a big problem, you just have to contact support, send them the log-files Teamviewer##_Logfile.log and Teamviewer##_Logfile_OLD.log. If you are really not using TeamViewer commercially they will "unlock" your computer und you will not see this message again until you change your computer.
I don't know how TeamViewer identifies potentially commercial use, but i can see that my behavior looks like this, even if it is not the case.
Please, I have to use it, my ID is [ID removed]
When you started a trial, you notified TeamViewer that your intended use is commercial, otherwise you do not need a trial version.
I think but I'm not sure that the installation is somehow marked as "commercial" and you are now trying to return this to "non-commercial" which seems understandably suspicious.
I think you need to contact support to resolve this. I've done this in a similar scenario
BTW you should not mark your questions as solved, the chances are very little that you will get an answer to a solved problem.
I marked as solved for mistake! Thank you for your answer! I think that TV team has resetted my id and now is all ok again!
Sorry for my bad English.
I have been using Teamviewer for personal use for several years.But, a few days ago, when I opened the remote connection window, appeared a request to acquire a license because my trial period would have expired.And I can no longer connect between my computers. However, on my profile of my management console, it is always indicated that I have a free license. I never, unless a bad manipulation on my part, asked for a trial period, nor indicated that I wanted to use a professional version. Could you tell me how to find or re-request a free private use? That I can continue to use Teamviewer which I am completely satisfied with.
Thank you in advance. Philippe Jolet.
The trial version is only on one of my computers. It is probable that I made a bad maneuver by installing teamviewer 12 beta then uninstalling it to go back to version 11 because it did not work with my other computers that works in linux. Other computers that continue to communicate with each other. This is simply to be able to reinstall Teamviewer in free version on this computer. Simply ?
Sorry Reyhan, but shouldn´t this answer be published here?
I have done that and even installed the new beta version. I was careful to install the non-commercial version but it still says that my trial version has expired.
I am having the same issue. It looks like once you pick the wrong option, you can never go back.
My account is determing as 'used for business' and what I did was just start a new Android virtual machine on my server which set in my room. It's hard to control that Android virtual machine so I try to use Teamviewer. However, when I connect to this Android device, the program says I was using for business and the connection would be closed in 5 min. That's incomprehensible because everyone could buy some extra devices for their own and I think determine whether the users are using program for business by this way is not clever.
Sorry for the language is Chinese, but you could understand.
I don't know if it is the same problem, but i have sometimes (whenever i change my main computer) a message that i am suspected to use TeamViewer commercially. If this is the case the only way i know to get rid of this message, is to contact support and send them your log-files, so they can check that you're not using TeamViewer commercially.
To let us know the exact message you can change the language of TeamViewer to english temporary. TeamViewer options -> Advanced -> Display language (First setting at the top)
I'm in the same situation, I have a lot of personal computers even some with different operating systems. lots of friends and family members, I sent my log files once, I even asked if I could have a personal licence that is for home users, because I help others without receiving money. I would like to contribute with a mesure payment as a non profit person, but they sent me a quotation from 350 Euros per 50 hours per month and I only use it to help some friends. It's a good product, but saldy they are forcing me to look in other directions. I will probably also recommend the others instead.
When I had a Business Account I used to get a similar message despite having paid an annual fee.
I seemed to remember resolving it by logging into the Management Console and under the main Account Heading (Large Blue Box) with details of the account, left clicking on the box and selecting Edit Profile.
Within the edit profile dialogue box under the General Section Menu you can makes changes to the type of Licence currently allocated to the device.
Under the Licence Menu you can also manage your licence.
Hope this helps you resolve your Trial Message problem.
When i try to connect to patner id then this error showing may i know how i can fix this Error see the attachment file.
This is not really an error message. It is normal that after a trial period software will not work until you buy a license.
And I do not know what one can tell you in addition to the content of this message, as it is absolutely clear what to do. Maybe that most of us here, are not TeamViewer. The "us" in this message is either support or sales.
Two hints:
Read carefully when installing software - It might do what you select.
Do not shout "urgent" to someone, from whom you want help.
I install this with free not buy or trill for useing.

Cisco has named a former Symantec executive to head its struggling collaboration group, which saw three different leaders in less than a year.
Rowan Trollope is Cisco's new senior vice president and general manager of the collaboration business. He succeeds O.J. Winge, the former Tandberg executive who assumed leadership of the group earlier this year from former collaboration head Barry O'Sullivan.
HEADING FOR THE EXITS: 10 Cisco executive departures over the past year
Winge (pictured left) is leaving Cisco for "personal reasons," according to this blog post by Marthin De Beer, senior vice president, of Cisco's video and collaboration group.
At Symantec, Trollope was most recently group president of the company's Symantec.cloud business unit where he oversaw product development, strategy, product sales, and marketing teams. He also oversaw the consumer, enterprise and small and mid-sized business segments.
"Rowan brings to Cisco an excellent track record in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) market; vital experience of end-user product development expertise, and a proven background in security and category leadership," De Beer states in his blog.
At Cisco, Trollope will assume responsibility for the Cisco collaboration portfolio, including TelePresence, Unified Communications Manager and WebEx. In addition, he will oversee collaboration software, devices, infrastructure and services that enable video and social collaboration, unified communications, customer contact centers, conferencing, mobility, and desktop virtualization technologies, according to the De Beer post.
Trollop's new duties are effective Nov. 12 and he will report to De Beer.
Winge joined Cisco with its 2009 acquisition of videoconferencing leader Tandberg. He succeeded O'Sullivan last summer as head of the collaboration business, according to CRN.
Cisco's collaboration business has been hampered by execution issues and declining sales. The business was flat in Cisco's third quarter with TelePresence hit by decreased spending in public sector and enterprise.
In the fourth quarter, collaboration saw an 8% decline.

Revised Manuscripts
Accepted Manuscripts
Conference Papers
Comments and Replies
Manuscripts returned to the author for revision should be returned to OSA as quickly as possible. The decision email will include the due date for submission of the revised manuscript. Any revisions received after that date may be assigned a new received date. After revising the paper and writing a detailed reply to the reviewers with a list of changes made to the paper, the corresponding author will log onto the Prism Author queue to submit a revised manuscript and response. Many editors find a red-lined version of the manuscript to be useful when evaluating the revised paper. Authors can upload a red-lined manuscript in Prism. The editor will then make a final decision or, less often, may choose to send the manuscript back to reviewers. Editors are encouraged to accept or reject revised manuscripts without requesting further mandatory revisions.
Accepted manuscripts are transmitted to OSA's production vendors for tagging and composition. Authors publishing in AOP, Applied Optics, JOCN, JOSA, Optica, Optics Letters, and Photonics Research will receive page proofs of their papers; typically, authors are prompted by e-mail to log in and access PDF proofs from a vendor website. Page proof corrections should be returned as soon as possible to avoid publication delays. Authors publishing in the Express Journals are instructed to review the final PDF of the article in Prism prior to making payment, because corrections will not be made once the article is published.
OSA values the role of conferences and journals to serve the optics and photonics community with high-quality, timely, and relevant content. To foster the development of work in progress and to support the dissemination of results in an archival publication, OSA encourages manuscripts based partly or entirely on work presented at conferences to be submitted to an OSA Journal.
The following guidelines are intended to clarify OSA's policy for authors, reviewers and editors:
Comments on articles previously published will be considered in OSA Journals. A Comment should occupy no more than three journal pages (no more than one page for Optics Letters and no more than two for Express Journals) including title, author list, tables, figures, and references. All Comment papers submitted to Optics Letters should be received no more than 6 months after the publishing of the original article.
The abstract should be brief. The Comment should be substantive and collegial in tone. Polemical Comments will be rejected. The main purpose of a Comment should be to point out and to correct significant errors or deficiencies in papers, to clarify the implications of a paper, or to take issue with the conclusions reached. Comments whose primary purpose is to discuss issues of priority or to call attention to oversights in a reference list will generally not be considered for publication.
Before a Comment is reviewed by qualified referees, it may be forwarded to the authors of the article being commented on to allow them an opportunity to provide additional feedback. After receiving this response, the editor can decide whether it is appropriate to send the Comment to review. If, after peer review, the editor decides to accept the Comment for publication, the original authors will be asked to submit a formal Reply. Replies are subject to the same length restrictions as Comments. If the Reply is accepted, both Comment and Reply will be published together in the next available issue of the journal.
OSA journals are editorially independent. However, if an editor receives a manuscript that is out of his/her journal's scope but may be suitable for another OSA journal, he will consult with that editor and, if they are in agreement, will contact the author to offer to transfer the manuscript. If the author agrees to the transfer, the original receipt date is retained.
In the case of submissions to Optica that do not meet the journal's criteria for broad interest, the editor may recommend the author consider transferring the manuscript to another OSA journal for consideration. The author can choose whether or not to transfer the manuscript and to which journal. Further details of the Optica process can be found here.
In neither case does the transfer of manuscript files guarantee acceptance. Any reviewer comments and identities will be available to the editors of the receiving journal since they could facilitate a rapid decision. The editors at the receiving journal may decline the transfer, request further revision, or seek further review as needed.
OSA Journals maintain high standards for acceptance. In many cases, papers are deemed unsuitable for publication either before or after peer review. If as an author you receive such a decision and you believe an appeal is warranted, please contact the Journal editorial staff with the request for an appeal. The staff will then open an Appeal process for your paper in Prism. You will be directed to complete the brief online questionnaire for appeals to provide your arguments to the editor along with a thorough response to all of the referee comments. A final ruling will be made by the editor as soon as possible. The editor's ruling on the appeal, in almost all cases, will be final. Under exceptional circumstances, an appeal may also be made to the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.

Egypt's main opposition coalition to boycott vote
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's main opposition coalition said Tuesday it will boycott upcoming parliamentary elections, a decision likely to push the country into a new round of political turmoil and worsen an already troubled economy.
The announcement by the liberal, secular National Salvation Front was made in a televised news conference just hours ahead of the start of a "national dialogue" convened by Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to produce recommendations on ensuring the "transparency" and "integrity" of the vote. The NSF said it was also boycotting the dialogue.
The decision to boycott the election, due to begin in April, is a bid by the opposition to undermine the legitimacy of the rule of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, the fundamentalist Islamist group he hails from.
Opponents accuse the Brotherhood of monopolizing power, and the country has been embroiled in months of protests amid public anger that the Brotherhood has failed to resolve the nation's woes or meet the hopes of the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime in 2011.
But the opposition also runs a risk. It presented a united front in its decision, but some factions may break ranks to run candidates. There is also no guarantee that the public will rally behind its call to stay away from the polls — making turnout a key measure of support for the opposition and discontent with the Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood won around 50 percent of the lower house of parliament's seats in elections in the winter of 2011-2012 that were contested by all sides. Other Islamists won another quarter of the seats, leaving liberal and secular lawmakers only a small portion. The chamber was later dissolved by court order.
The United States, Egypt's longtime economic and military benefactor, reacted swiftly, pressing the opposition to reverse its boycott decision.
State Department Spokesman Edgar Vasquez said it is "critical" for Egyptian parties to take part so that Egyptians can select representatives from a broad range of political positions. He said the U.S. encourages all Egyptian parties and potential candidates to compete.
President Barack Obama spoke by phone Tuesday with Morsi, emphasizing the Egyptian leader's "responsibility to protect the democratic principles that the Egyptian people fought so hard to secure" and urging him and all political groups to find consensus, the White House said.
Secretary of State John Kerry is due to visit Cairo over the weekend.
The NSF represents a variety of political groups mostly of liberal, leftist and secular leanings and is primarily anti-Islamist. But it has little control over the young protesters who are taking to the streets virtually every day in several parts of the country, blocking roads and rail lines, besieging government offices and battling security forces.
Still, a boycott of the election by the NSF will fuel their protest movement, which is partly political but mostly about livelihood issues like rising prices, jobs or shortages of basic goods.
Continuing protests and an enduring political impasse could take Egypt to the brink of bankruptcy. Foreign reserves are down by two thirds since Mubarak's ouster, the key tourism sector is in deep recession and investment is drying up.
In Port Said, a key economic hub on the Mediterranean, a sit-in protest by residents in the city center continued for the 10th day Tuesday, but a general strike has dissipated, with workers returning to their jobs at a major industrial complex. Schools and teachers remain on strike.
In the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, hundreds of protesters taking part in a sit-in outside the provincial government offices clashed with police for the third day in a row. The anti-government protesters there have tried to organize a general strike similar to that of Port Said, but succeeded for just one day before clashes with police and Morsi supporters broke out.
In Cairo, protesters clashed with security forces at the city's iconic Tahrir Square after police tried to evict them.
Egypt's latest political crisis is the worst since Mubarak's ouster. It began Jan. 25 when hundreds of thousands marked the second anniversary of the start of the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak. Around 70 have died in clashes since, and hundreds have been wounded.
The National Dialogue has been Morsi's answer to critics who accuse him of not listening to voices outside the Brotherhood. But almost all opposition parties, rights activists and pro-democracy youth groups behind the 2011 anti-Mubarak uprising have refused his calls to join past sessions, saying the gatherings are just for show.
Tuesday's session was no different, with the roughly 20 participants mainly fellow Islamists.
"God willing, the elections will reflect the spirit of Egyptians," Morsi said in opening remarks at the start of the dialogue, held at the presidential palace in a Cairo suburb and carried live on state TV.
Ziad el-Oleimi, a former lawmaker and an icon of the 2011 uprising, said the boycott of the election could succeed in stripping Morsi's administration of its legitimacy. But he warned that it must also provide an alternative path for the revolution to achieve its goals.
He recalled the last parliamentary election held while Mubarak in power in late 2010, by far the most fraudulent in the ousted leader's 29 years in power. Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party won all but a handful of seats in that election.
"This is how it was in 2010, and the (Mubarak) regime didn't last for more than three months after," he said, alluding to Mubarak's ouster in February 2011. "A dialogue has no meaning, because we are not part in the decision-making. Let the ruler take the decisions alone."
Khaled Abdel-Hamid, another icon of the uprising whose Popular Alliance party is boycotting the vote, said the opposition should push the campaign of civil disobedience, including not paying taxes or utility bills, in addition to the boycott.
"The aim now is to bring down this regime," he said.
Abdel-Rahman Youssef, a poet, TV presenter and leading protester in the 2011 uprising, stayed away from Tuesday's dialogue but said he intended to run in the election as an independent. He renounced the boycott decision, saying it was made by "senior citizens" and that it reinforced the notion that part of the crisis in Egypt is one of a generational conflict.
"How can the young learn about politics if they boycott everything?" he said, saying that it is time for the secular and liberal crowd to take on the Brotherhood which is losing popularity and is in a dispute with some of the Salafis.
"The boycott is a step backward, and running away from a battle we have to enter," he said.

Watch Carly Rae Jepsen Perform 'This Kiss' on 'The Late Show With David Letterman'
Carly Rae Jepsen took the stage on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' on Thursday night (Oct. 25) to perform her latest single, 'This Kiss.' As predicted, she looked adorable and coquettish. How was the performance, though?
Clad in an artfully mismatched get up of a bedazzled mini skirt, leopard print bustier, black jacket with embellished sleeves and red and leopard sparkly sneaker-Oxford hybrids, Jepsen seemed a little uncomfortable on stage. She tended to hide behind her mic stand, clinging to it until the first chorus kicked in, but never straying too far when dancing around it. (More experienced performers often move the mic stand behind them to ensure that nothing obstructs an audience's view of the artist.)
The song was co-written by Jepsen and produced by LMFAO's Redfoo and artist Matthew Koma, who happens to be Jepsen's boyfriend (and perhaps her muse!). The track's being pushed harder than ever now that it's appearing in the Victoria Justice film 'Fun Size.'
Jepsen's vocals were on point, if her stage presence was a little bit lacking. The performance lacked the enthusiastic, pogo-style jumping inspired by her usual renditions of megahit 'Call Me Maybe' and its followup 'Good Time.' That's a little surprising considering Jepsen has said more than once that 'This Kiss' is her favorite song off of her debut, 'Kiss,' but hey -- live television is scary! Maybe with some lessons from Justin Bieber she'll learn the ropes and captivate us like we know she can.

A: There still don't have my name in it (the list).. (showing the black long face)
A: Team leader, I want this. (his finger pointing to the email on the monitor)
B: What is that? Oh, I'll write one for you when you have completed your tasks.
A strictly lost his mood, and show his black long face, again. And B, seeing the situation isn't rigt, quickly drafted an email to praise him and the team.
A, is the developer of the HQ of India office.
B, is the team leader of the team, that came to KL together with me.
After I hear this story, I find it so riddiculous. People praised you because you did something, people feel grateful, it's a way of appreciation. There isn't a fixed rule saying people MUST praise you, moreover it's something you should do? You haven't even complet the tasks assigned, how shameless you are to ask your leader to praise you?
To ask an appreciation letter? What is this? People does't need to give you any appraisal anyway?
Well, this is just my very own opinion. It may be something wrong with the way I think? Or it's just one of their culture?

Building up a strong, well-validated set of solutions to the enduring problems of education is the best investment Congress could make in education.
Evaluating the effectiveness of school principals is in everyone's best interests-students, teachers, parents, and arguably principals most of all. But what are fair and valid measures of success?
Let's say a given program had an effect size of +0.30. Is that large? Small? Is the program worth doing or worth forgetting?
The difference between a set of principles and a replicable program is night and day. A replicable program implements similar principles, but does so on purpose, and knows how to do it again and again.
Too often, the allure of new technology outweighs practical planning for implementation. Appropriate high-quality professional development and ongoing support for teachers is essential to success.
Sputnik will be on "winter break" until the new year. While we're away, here are a few of Sputnik's top stories from the fall and a seasonal cartoon for you to enjoy. What Constitutes Strong Evidence of Program Effectiveness? Won't Back Down: Union-Bashing Goes Hollywood Better Teachers or Better Programs?

Boston: Allyn & Bacon. Reprinted with permission of the author....
Genuine progress in educational programs and practice is likely to be gradual, so it is especially critical that support for the R&D process be sustained and steady over time.
Designing replicable "transformation" programs to help persistently low-achieving schools would seem to be essential, yet it has not happened.
For teachers to utilize technology in a meaningful way, its instructional value must offer options that couldn't exist without the tool.

[Update: 1:41 p.m.] @J_tsar, the Twitter account identified as belonging to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has gained more than 20,000 followers in less than an hour. The user posted the following Tweet on the day of the bombing:
Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people
— Jahar (@J_tsar) April 16, 2013
Meanwhile, friends of @J_tsar are coming to his defense, with one user posting "that's still my nigga."
[Update: 12:27 p.m.] Gawker's Adrian Chen reported that Dzhokar Tsarnaev's real Twitter account is @J_tsar. A high school classmate of Tsarnaev's confirmed the authenticity of the account with BuzzFeed. If it's true, Tsarnaev's final tweet, posted on April 17, was "I'm a stress free kind of guy."
[Original Post]
Call it the new abnormal: Impersonating notorious figures and fugitives, and having a ball with it.
Much like we saw with the perpetrators of the Sandy Hook school shooting and the "Dark Knight" movie theater massacre, the suspects behind the Boston Marathon bombings are finding themselves at the center of imitation social media accounts, many of which seem to exist for no other reason but to cause mischief.
Tamerlan Tsarneav, 26, was killed in an altercation with police early Friday and as a massive manhunt for his younger brother, 19-year-old Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, continued, Facebook and Twitter impersonators may have added to the confusion.
A Twitter account with the name Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev was presumably created in the wake of the suspect's identification, with tweets dating back only a few hours. By Friday morning, the account had more than 4,800 followers and counting. In one tweet, the account holder threatened to kill the Boston Police Department. That tweet received nearly 400 re-tweets and more than a dozen replies. Most of the respondents ostensibly recognized that the account was a phony, although some fellow tweeters did seem to take it seriously.
The name of another Twitter account -- @Dzhokhar_ -- has been changed to match that of the suspect, a move that has helped the account holder gain hundreds of new followers. With tweets dating back to last year, the account has fooled some Twitter users. Although most of the tweets from the account are sports related, the user does apparently have some firm political views. In December, the account holder posted a meme that featured a side-by-side comparison of "legal" automatic weapons and "illegal" French cheeses.
Naturally, not everyone appreciates the user's antics:
BTW @dzhokhar_ is a fake account for the bomber. The only thing more pathetic than the dude who changed his name are the new followers.
— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) April 19, 2013
Despite the criticism, several other fake accounts are popping up as well, with some users mocking the police and at least one quoting Shakespeare.
You will never find me!
— Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev (@DzhokharT) April 19, 2013
Another account, @Tsarnaev, took the opportunity to convey a sentiment that many Americans are no doubt feeling: "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is responsible for the bombing of Boston Marathon," the account's profile description said. "He deserves the death penalty!" That Twitter user also linked to a recently created Blogspot page asking for donations to help victims of the bombing.
On Facebook it was more of the same, with a page in the name of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev having amassed almost 2,000 followers by Wednesday morning. At that time, the account had contained little public information, aside from a few photos and a list of "likes" that included Willow Smith, Alicia Keys and "The Boondocks." Later in the morning, the account name was changed to Jason Martin.
The phony Facebook and Twitter accounts mirror the barrage of online mischief that unfolded around other recent tragedies. In the wake of the Sandy Hook school shootings last year, some Facebook users created pages celebrating the shooter, Adam Lanza. One page, "Adam Lanza Is a Hero," was created multiple times after being deleted by Facebook administrators.
Such pages are potentially in violation of Facebook's community standards, which expressly prohibit "harassment," "hate speech" and "graphic content." The policy states that "sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is prohibited." In general, however, both Facebook and Twitter are not proactive about preventing such activity. In most cases, the social networks take action only after the pages are reported, but often pages celebrating notorious figures are kept intact, presumably on free speech grounds. For instance, several Facebook pages dedicated to James Holmes, who carried out the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo., last July, are still active.
The antics reaffirm, if nothing else, that tastelessness on the Internet knows no bounds. And in the age of social media, a recognizable name, however notorious, means followers and "likes" -- for whatever that's worth.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Public health officials say the flu is beginning to hit Illinois.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is being seen on a regional basis throughout the state. That's one step away from being widespread.
The (Champaign) News-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/19nn1oP) doctors are busy treating patients who have the illness, along with those who have strep throat and pneumonia.
"We've been seeing a lot of people in general," said Tess Bailey, who is a physician at Carle Convenient Care. "There's a lot of illness going around."
Flu activity typically begins building in the U.S. in December, although the peak typically isn't seen until sometime between January and March.
"It's not everywhere, but I can absolutely tell you it's in our community," said Champaign-Urbana Public Health District Administrator Julie Pryde.
Area hospitals have reported dozens of cases so far.
Public health officials say it's not too late for people to get a flu shot, but they caution that the vaccine takes about two weeks to become effective.
They're also recommending people take common-sense steps to say healthy, such as washing hands frequently and staying home from work if you're sick.
Flu symptoms include fever, chills, body aches, fatigue, coughing, sore throats and a runny or a stuffy nose.
"If you are sick, stay home and keep it to yourself," Bailey told the newspaper.
Last year, more than 600 people were admitted to Illinois intensive care units with the flu. At least 96 died.

A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is dreaded by all families. It signals a future filled with confusion, stress and sadness. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 5 million Americans now suffer from Alzheimer's disease. With baby boomers aging every day, this number is projected to grow to over 13 million by 2050. With more and more families being affected by this dreaded disease, it's important to know the warning signs and how to care for a family member who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
If you are concerned a loved one is showing the warning signs of Alzheimer's disease, it is essential that you make an appointment with his or her healthcare provider. Be prepared to answer a wide range of questions about their health and emotional well-being. Some questions you should be prepared to answer include:
You should also be prepared to bring a list of medications, supplements and medical conditions to your appointment.
If your loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, you don't have to face the future alone. There are many wonderful organizations and support groups out there to help and support you. To make the future easier, it is a good idea to get a plan in place for Alzheimer's care. You should talk now about who will make financial and healthcare decisions for your loved one when they are no longer able. Consider establishing a power of attorney for finance and healthcare now while your loved one is still able to express their wishes. If your loved one's illness has already advanced to the point where they can no longer make decisions for themselves, you may have to apply for guardianship or conservatorship.
It is important that you and other family members discuss strategies for care. Will there be a primary family caregiver? Will you seek out caregiving assistance from an elder care organization? The decisions you make regarding care will likely affect where your loved one lives. Will they be able to continue living at home? Will they move in with a family member? Will they move to an assisted living facility?
"Ensuring your loved one with Alzheimer's has adequate care is essential. Family caregivers need breaks to rest and refresh. As the illness progresses, long term care is often necessary. Professional at home caregivers make it possible for individuals with Alzheimer's to continue living at home where they are most comfortable while receiving the best possible care," says Larry Meigs, President and CEO of Visiting Angels.
As you care for your loved one, it can help to develop a routine and structure for their day. This can bring comfort to your loved one. It is also best if you can let them know what to expect throughout the day. Providing visual and auditory clues, such as opening curtains in the morning or playing quiet music in the evening, can help them to feel more comfortable and to know what to expect. Of course, keeping them involved with daily activities is also helpful. While your loved one won't be able to do everything they used to, helping him or her find activities that are safe and healthy can provide purpose for their day.
As you communicate with your loved one, there are some simple tips to keep in mind. First, keep it simple. Don't rattle off a long list of questions. Ask one question at a time. Give them time to respond. Address them by name. Keep an eye on their body language and yours. If they appear tense, you might need to back off and give them a minute to gather themselves and get comfortable. If you're having a bad day, you might also need to take a break. Your own frustrations can cause anxiety in your loved one.
"Respite care for family caregivers is so important. Family caregivers have a very difficult job. They need time to rest, recharge and to do the things they enjoy. Our Alzheimer's respite care makes it possible for family caregivers to get time away so they can better care for their loved ones," says Larry Meigs, President and CEO of Visiting Angels.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's is no small task. You are likely to have many questions and concerns. You don't have to face the future alone. Your doctor's office, the Alzheimer's Association and other support groups can provide a wealth of information to help you face the future with confidence.

Architecture: Domino Sugar in Brooklyn by SHoP Architects and James Corner Field Operations: "..Manhattan studio SHoP Architects has designed a masterplan of hollow skyscrapers surrounded by gardens for the site of the former Domino Sugar refinery in Brooklyn, New York, USA..Working alongside landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, SHoP Architects has planned a mixed-use complex that includes the renovation of the nineteenth century factory, five new buildings, plus a series of public parks, gardens and sports fields..The plans replace earlier proposals by Rafael Viñoly for the historic site, which started production as a sugar factory in 1856 but has been out of use since 2004. Viñoly's proposals proved unpopular with local residents, so developer Two Trees commissioned an alternative that would offer taller buildings but more public spaces.."If you're standing next to a 400-foot tall building or a 600-foot tall building, you have no idea," SHoP principal Vishaan Chakrabarti told New York magazine Curbed. "But if a 600-foot building means that you get a park where your kid can graduate, that means something to you."..The tallest building in the scheme is a 180-metre tower, which will be positioned beside the Williamsburg Bridge to the south. Other structures will be shorter in height, relating to the scale of buildings to the north and east, and will include a tower with a rectangular void through its middle and a school at its base, plus a 600-unit apartment building. The old factory will be transformed into offices for technology companies and the creative industries..The developer plans to push ahead with the project this year and is organising community meetings in the upcoming weeks..SHoP Architects has worked on a number of high-profile projects recently. The team completed the Barclays sports arena in Brooklyn in September and is also developing a masterplan for a new "silicon" city in Kenya..New York-based James Corner Field Operations is best known for its role on the High Line, an elevated park on an abandoned railway.."

Making Lists & Checking Them Twice
We're coming up on not only the end of another year, but another decade, so naturally everyone and their brother's magazine are releasing all kinds of lists and superlatives--influential people, biggest catastrophes, best dressed, sexiest man alive... (Look, I loved Captain Jack, but I've seen the cover of People, and no way is that photo sexier than Dean Winchester.) And as you probably already know BuddyTv.com compiled their top 50 television episodes of 2009, which featured both Changing Channels and Monster At The End of This Book --which both rocked, not only because they were hilarious but because they weren't just throwaway funny, they furthered the story in big ways.
It's not uncommon for us to do lists here at SPN Sisters. In just November, MJ listed her fave and not-so-fave eps and I'm pretty sure that in our archives there's a list of great Impala moments. So I wanted to share a few slightly more obscure lists and superlatives. (These are, of course, strictly my opinion. Feel free to agree, disagree, and share your own in comments!!!)
Horror, violence, and the occasional sex--Supernatural is definitely not children's television! And yet, from that early scene in the pilot when young Dean has to carry baby sam out of the burning house, kids have always had an impact on the show. Best child actors on Supernatural (in no particular order):
1. Nicholas Elia--this potential mini-Dean stole my heart and certain scenes in Season 3's "The Kids Are Alright."
2. Margot Berner-- The girl who played Katie on the same episode, however, was chilling enough to make me nervous around my own daughter the next day. (Hey, I'm not proud of that, I'm just sayin'.)
3. Sierra McCormick-- Of course, the creepiest child they've ever had on the show, IMO, is this adorable little blond girl who was possessed by Lilith in the season 3 finale "No Rest For the Wicked." YIKES.
4. Ridge Canipe-- First seen in the flashbacks of Season 1's "Something Wicked," this younger version of Dean portrays his emotional conflicts about his dad and brother just as compellingly as the adult Dean we all know and love!
5. Gattlin Griffith-- This season's "Jesse Turner" and the potential lynchpin for the apocalypse, this kid was utterly believable, a little eerie, and a lot heart-wreching. I hope they bring him back for more episodes!!!
But of course, it's not only the under-eighteen guest stars who shine on the show. Here are my five favorite (old enough to vote) guest stars:
1. Richard Speight Jr (Trickster/Gabriel)
2. Mitch Pileggi (Samuel Campbell, aka Dean and Sam's grandfather!)
3. Charles Malik Whitfield (Agent Henricksen) This determined FBI agent truly thought his was the side of justice when he pursued "dangerous fugitives" Sam and Dean, finally catching them in Jus In Bello, where he learns the truth and sets up the best line in the whole episode when he stammers, "I shot the sherrif."
4. Samantha Ferris (Ellen Harvelle) While we didn't see her as much as the boys' awesome father figure recurring character Bobby Singer, this tough but caring maternal character was a great addition to every episode she was in!
5. Lauren Cohan (Bela Talbot; Hey, it's my list, I can include her if I want to!)
Honorable mentionts to Julie Benz (season 1) and Amy Gumenick (season 4).
Clearly the producers have no trouble getting great guest stars! But we fans can't help hoping that some other actors we enjoy land on the show. Here are the five people I'd most love to see pop up in a well-written role:
1. Alan Tudyk- This guy can be either terrifying or hilarious, both areas in which SPN excels and I love seeing him on TV! (Which is looking less likely since his guest character was killed off on ABC and the show in which he had a guest character was cancelled on FOX.)
2. Jason Dohring
3. Lee Pace
4. Alexis Denisof
5. Mary McDonnell - BSG Alumni Callum Keith Rennie, Tricia Helfer and Mark Sheppard have all appeared, so why not madame president herself?
While it's no secret that I am a weenie and Supernatural IS part horror-flick, every once in a while, the gore just seems a bit more nauseating than it had to be. I give you my top 5 Dude, was that really necessary? episodes:
1. Skin
2. On the Head of a Pin (the violence and blood was definitely plot-related, but this one was seriously difficult for me to watch)
3. Wendigo (to be fair, I'm guessing on this one--my eyes were covered for a lot of it)
4. Time Is On My Side
5. No Rest For the Wicked
It would have been nice to list my favorite Sam and Dean moments, but I'm not sure I could narrow that down to the top fifty! What are a few of yours?

Episode 1
In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad (SAWS).
If we look around us, we'll identify many problems; problems between our countries, problems between us as Muslims. All these problems have brought us here today with an initiative for coexistence.
For example, in Iraq, thousands are being killed and I am not talking about occupation but I mean because of sectarian differences. The same is happening in Palestine. I know that there could be external powers involved in Iraq and Palestine, but at the end of the day, if we learn to live with each other in peace, no one will be able to influence us that way. Even in Lebanon that used to be a token of love between the different sects! Their differences were the source of their welfare! But now they have started to clash. In Darfur (in Sudan), I was under the impression that all these killings were between Muslims and non-Muslims, until I woke up to the realization that they are all Muslims! I realized that all over the Arab world, we have a big problem in agreeing with each other! You might think that this program is a political one! But in fact, it is not.
Look at our homes! Parents and children are living in separate islands. Divorce rates are escalating drastically. Look at the youth! They can't find anyone to talk to. Consequently they have isolated themselves, resorted to drugs and from there they are headed to extremism, delinquency and corruption.
In our schools and universities, there is no dialogue between the teacher and the student. The courts are so full of cases arising from nothing but disputes and clashes. Even in the mosques, we had the hearts to start fights and clashes! The concept of coexistence is not taught in our schools or universities. How come we never find courses on communication skills? I haven't heard of a Friday sermon that tackled this topic before. I haven't heard of bedtime stories or board games having this issue as their main theme.
The concept of teamwork is utterly missing from our industries, companies, universities, and scientific research. In Europe the companies are merging for added power while we are being scattered around. But when it comes to us, we can't work with each other.
Even the Muslims living in the West have isolated themselves; refusing to coexist with the new society that surrounds them. We need to offer them a way in which they can smoothly integrate with the societies they are living in, without dissolving or losing their identity.
Let's imagine that this is the circle of my thinking and this is the one of your thinking. If we keep away from each other, the two circles will always be distant. But if I want to be successful I always have to work on the common overlapping area. Let us work on enlarging it. A scholar once said, "Now I can see clearly because I have mounted everybody's shoulders the day I heard everybody's opinion."
What is coexistence?
There are two objectives for this program. The first one is to instill the idea of coexistence. The second objective is to provide you with the needed skills to achieve coexistence. Whenever I use the term "the other" people instantly jump to one conclusion that I'm only talking about the West. No!! Psychologists tell us that "the other" is a term used by people from their early childhood, when they started coexisting with all the external factors surrounding us.
the first lesson Allah taught to all humanity was coexistence; if you (mankind) will descend to the earth, then you must learn how to live with each other. Allah says what can be translated as, "And recite to them the tiding of the two sons of Adam with the truth as they offered a sacrifice, (Literally: sacrificed an all-sanctified sacrifice) (and) it was (graciously) accepted of one of them and not (graciously) accepted of the other. One (of them) said, "Indeed, I will definitely kill you." (The other) said, "Surely Allah (graciously) accepts only of the pious" (TMQ, 5:27). "The other" was used here though we're talking about two brothers; each had his own way of thinking.
The one who is able to coexist is always a person who is self-confident, strong, open-minded and civilized. That's why Islam is so open to the whole world, because it's a profound religion and a complete way of life. It has all the factors that enable you to be a good Muslim, yet at the same time so open to the other.
Coexistence does not mean dissolution, or loss of one's identity, faith or character. Coexistence as a concept exists between two parties: both of them must interact mutually. Let me say this to the Western countries; you can't enforce your culture on me and then expect me to coexist. You can't enforce our youth to be a carbon copy of your own culture, and then ask us to coexist. You can't occupy our country, and then ask us to coexist. We are calling for coexistence between two parties who respect each other's wishes. This program will tell all the stories of coexistence throughout our history because I want all the youths to be proud of their identity. So coexist but never forget your roots. You have a global mission. You will be open to the whole world, yet proud of your own Muslim identity.
The Prophet (SAWS) taught us that the Muslim who interacts (i.e. coexists) with people and is patient in enduring their harm is better than the one who doesn't interact and hence is not harmed by them. So don't think that you are better because no one is harming you.
Coexistence is when we live with each other and accept each other for what we are. Coexistence is when we argue with each other and respect each other even in our differences. Coexistence is when we accept each other's presence and establish common grounds even when we disagree.
What does Islam say about coexistence?
You'll be proud to know what Islam says about coexistence. The first thing Islam teaches us is that it is not shameful that we are so different! It is a universal law since it is in our nature to be so different. The greatest creation made by Allah is the human mind. There is no way that all human minds can be identical. How come you accept that we are so different on the outside, yet you do not want to accept us being different in the way we think? Your son has to be different from you; he can't be a carbon copy of you! If you believe in a certain sect or follow a certain school of thought, you can't expect everybody else to be identical to you. If you accept this, then you have covered half of the way to overcome this problem.
Islam even says that these differences between us enrich our lives. Allah says what can be translated as, "…and We have made you races and tribes that you may get mutually acquainted" (TMQ, 49:13). This sentence "that you may get mutually acquainted" has a very vast meaning in Arabic that encompasses: exchanging benefits, getting along, making use of each other's ideas and exchanging economic interests.
Allah says what can be translated as, "And help one another to benignancy and piety" (TMQ, 5:2). This ayah (verse) is not just for Muslims but for all mankind. Let's help one another in combating the dangers of drugs, of the bird flu epidemic. The rest of the ayah says, "and do not help one another to vice and hostility" (TMQ, 5:2). So you can't occupy my land, and then ask me to coexist with you.
The Islamic civilization reached its prime when different nationalities and backgrounds joined Islam. Had it not been for Andalusia, which had flourished at the hands of the Muslims, Europe would have never been what it is now. The United States is what it is now because of the various ethnicities and nationalities that have blended together.
I'm challenging all of the constitutions of the Western world to state a single phrase included in them that encourages their people to go and get acquainted with others. The only constitution that has such a phrase is the Qur'an. The West should not look upon us condescendingly saying that it was them who invented coexistence, because this is not true.
Look at this great ayah, "And if your Lord had (so) decided, He would indeed have made mankind one nation; and they do not cease differing (among themselves). Excepting the ones on whom your Lord has mercy, and He created them for that (end)…" (TMQ, 11:118-119). Another ayah that stresses this meaning, "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the differences of your tongues and colors. Surely in that are indeed signs for knowledgeable men" (TMQ, 30:22).
The Prophet (SAWS) depicts this concept by saying that Muslims, in their mercy and compassion, are like one whole body. If one organ is in pain the rest of the body will ache with fever and insomnia. The Prophet (SAWS) is giving you an example from your own body. A body has various organs each with a different function and different role, yet when they worked in union as a team they became like one unit.
The Qur'an is all in the form of a dialogue. It conveys the various dialogues between the prophets and their peoples. The Qur'an even conveys the dialogue of those who objected to Islam. Look at how many times you'll find the word "they said" in the Qur'an!
Look at "Surat al-Baqara[1]", which outlines the methodology of Islam, until it reaches the ayah[2] of "al-Kursiyy", which presents the Islamic creed. The very following ayah starts with, "There is no compulsion in the religion" (TMQ, 2:256). So after placing the whole methodology between our hands, this ayah is stated to the effect that no one is obliged to take this method. "So whoever decides, then let him believe, and whoever decides, then let him disbelieve" (TMQ, 18:29). Everyone is left the choice to believe or not to believe.
Look at how the Qur'an talks about the common grounds in, "Say, "O population of the Book, (Or: Family of the Book, i.e., the Jews and Christians) come to a level word between us and you, that we worship none except Allah, and that we do not associate anything with Him, and that some of us do not take to themselves others (Literally: some "others") as lords, apart from Allah"" (TMQ, 3:64). Look at how gentle is this ayah addressing non-Muslims, "And surely, either we or you (only) are indeed upon (right) guidance or in evident error" (TMQ, 34:24). So how about the dialogue between us Muslims!
Meditate this great ayah, "O you mankind, be pious to your Lord, Who created you of one self, and created from it its spouse, and from the two disseminated many men and women" (TMQ, 4:1). We all came from one source: Adam and Hawwa (Eve).
This is what unites us with each other.
Do you know what the Prophet (SAWS) did once he reached Madinah? He called for spreading peace and greetings, feeding the hungry, and observing kinship ties. The Madinah at that time was full of clashing tribes like: Aws and Khazraj. He fraternized between the Aws and Khazraj tribes. Next, he built the mosque where the whole society would gather. Then, he renamed the city of "Yathrib" to be "al-Madinah" meaning "The City" so as not to be attributed to any particular tribe. Then he issued a constitution addressing the Jews, the disbelievers, the Muslims and everyone, asking them all to live in peace. I don't know of a constitution calling for coexistence, like the one made by the Prophet (SAWS) in Madinah.
To all those who are afraid of Islam, and to those who refuse to add religion in the syllabuses for fear of extremism, I want to suggest the exact opposite. I want you to teach them the real Islam so they know how to coexist. If you dread extremism; then teach your children proper Islam. I want to fulfill Allah's saying, "so be pious to Allah, and act righteously among yourselves (Or: make a reconciliation after differences)…" (TMQ, 8:1).
The Prophet (SAWS) told us that thrashing out our differences and reconciling is even better than fasting, night prayer, and charity. By Allah, our intention from this program is, "Surely the believers are only brothers; so make a reconciliation between your two brothers, and be pious to Allah, that possibly you would be granted mercy" (TMQ, 49:10). The Prophet (SAWS) also told us that things that cause strife between us, act like a "shaving" device that "shaves" our religion off, not our heads.
Allay says, "You have been the most charitable nation brought out to mankind…" (TMQ, 3:110). So I'm proud of that, but at the same time I'm capable of coexisting.
The relation between coexistence and development
Let me ask you this: How can we propose to develop ourselves while we can't even coexist? It would be a catastrophe. If I want to establish development, then why don't I build over what I have? I want to tell you a nice story about a boat that was in the sea, in a place where the sea meets with the river. The fishermen wanted some fresh water desperately. They signaled a faraway ship sailing to the west to send them some water. The captain told them, "Are you asking us for fresh water when it is right under you!" And I'm saying the very same thing: the fresh water is right there with us; our history.
Honestly I have to tell you that right now there are some who are trying diligently to drive us all back into wars and strife; to the times of the crusades because they want to sell weapons and make fortunes. So instead of hostility we've come to propose Islam's viewpoint. The first ayah that comes in the Qur'an addresses the Lord of the worlds, "Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds" (TMQ, 1:2), and the last ayah in the Qur'an addresses the Lord of mankind! , "Say, "I take refuge with The Lord of mankind" (TMQ, 114:1). Hence, the Qur'an is a universal book. So be open, coexist without dissolving or losing your faith.
Overview of the coming episodes
Starting next episode we will be telling you the stories of the four Imams (Islamic scholars): ash-Shafe'yy, Abu-Hanifa, Malik and Ahmad Ibn-Hanbal. We are not going to discuss them from the point of view of Islamic jurisprudence. We will focus on coexistence intertwined in the stories of the four Imams.
One last thing, if you want to interact with us then access our website www.amrkhaled.net after each episode. Post your comments, your criticism, and your objective views,
Finally, may the Peace of Allah be upon you all.
Insha'allah I want to post here ALL the episode of this program:
every wednesday at 20:00 KSA

1- I really, really love jewels and gemstones. So much it hurts. With that said—most occupations frown upon, say my new antique rhinestone watch, as everyday attire. Hmph.
2- I don't like maneuvering with the masses. Under most circumstances, you couldn't pay me to go to a stadium-filled concert (Dolly excluded, obv)…but I still like to partake in the fun. Private concert at Versailles anyone?
3- Sometimes, weekly manicures are the only thing that makes the world tolerable.
4- I want to be able to wear what I want, where I want, at any time I want. In other words, caftans and diamonds all day/err day.
5- I would do really nice things. Charitable things. I've already gotten my platforms figured out actually, just in case you're wondering.
