Get e-book Introduction to Functional Differential Equations
Differential difference equations are functional differential equations in which the argument values are discrete. Differential difference equations are also referred to as retarded , neutral , advanced , and mixed functional differential equations.

This classification depends on whether the rate of change of the current state of the system depends on past values, future values, or both. In other words, this class of functional differential equations depends on the past and present values of the function with delays.

Neutral differential equations depend on past and present values of the function, similarly to retarded differential equations, except it also depends on derivatives with delays. In other words, retarded differential equations do not involve the given function's derivative with delays while neutral differential equations do. Integro-differential equations of Volterra type are functional differential equations with continuous argument values. Functional differential equations have been used in models that determine future behavior of a certain phenomenon determined by the present and the past.
Future behavior of phenomena, described by the solutions of ODEs, assumes that behavior is independent of the past.

Functional Differential Equations. United States: Springer-Verlag. Introduction to Functional Differential Equations. Recently, Ahmed et al. A primary purpose of this paper is to further study the oscillation of solutions of 1. Our results extend and generalize some of the relevant results in [ 1 — 19 ]. Furthermore, z t is a differentiable solution, while w t is twice differentiable. As usual, a solution of 1 is said to be oscillatory if it has arbitrarily large zeros and nonoscillatory if it is either eventually positive or eventually negative.
Equation 1 is said to be oscillatory if all its solutions are oscillatory. In the sequel, unless otherwise specified, when we write a functional inequality, we assume that it holds for all sufficiently large t. To specify the proofs of our main results, we need the following essential lemmas.
Introduction to Functional Differential Equations
Assume that 3 holds. Let x t be an eventually positive solution of 7.
In this section, we establish some infinite integral conditions for all solutions of 1 to oscillate. We assume that condition 3 holds. Set z t to be defined as in 5. Then by Lemma 1 , it follows that. Substituting in 22 yields. So by Lemma 4 , we have that the delay differential equation.
Stability of Functional Differential Equations
Applying the inequality cf. Erbe et al. From 35 and 38 , we find that. Therefore, from 40 in 39 , we get. This is a contradiction with The proof is complete. All conditions of Theorem 5 are satisfied. Then all solutions of 45 oscillate. Let z t and w t be defined as in 5 and 6. It is easily seen, by direct substituting, that z t and w t are also solutions of 1 when p and r are constants; that is.
Also, we have indeed that.
Stability of Functional Differential Equations - 1st Edition
Using 54 in 52 implies that. As w t is positive solution, so by Lemma 4 , the delay differential equation. Applying the inequality 32 to 64 , we have. From 67 and 70 , we find that.
Therefore, from 72 in 71 , we get. Then all conditions of Theorem 7 are satisfied and therefore all solutions of 77 oscillate. Theorems 5 and 7 generalize and extend Theorems 3. See also the results of Ahmed et al. The authors declare that there is no conflict of interests regarding the publication of this paper.

Thanks for the propper support,
i appreciate this! :)

Thanks for your reply, Ralf.
I'm going to do a VorpX full factory reset,
chose the propper general settings for WMR,
restart the computer,
disconnect the second monitor,
shut down all programs from autostart,
start VorpX with watcher enabled,
start the mixed reality portal,
start a game with a known profile ( Steamversion of "LA Noire", wich is pretty much the reason i purchased VorpX),
see what happens,
create a troubleshoot-file and send it to you.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your reply, Ralf
Im using an ordinary Desktopcomputer.
Core I5, Gtx1060, Win10, Drivers up to date and a barely naked "autostart".
Just a mousesoftware, comodo-AV, windowsdefender and the audiodrivers.
I've already tried the "alternative hook-in", running VorpX as an Admin and have been reading quite a lot of stuff in this forum, without getting a solutionidea.
And i'm pretty much an EIFOK and do not dare to enable the expert settings.October 13, 2019 at 09:43 in reply to: loadingprocess aborts #188456
I just learned that some of my games will start in windowed mode with the VorpX-logo on its bottom on my Monitor,but without appearing in my headset. Once there i cannot use any of the standard keybindings. [DELETE] or whatever else has no effect.
Except [ctrl][alt][shift] to make the notice in the top left corner disappear and the middle mousebutton to "zoom-in" a bit.
Exceptions for my security software are in place and besides that software there are no other programms running. I even stopped "Gforce experience" because of its overlay-shortcuts.October 12, 2019 at 23:45 in reply to: loadingprocess aborts #188449
Thx for the quick reply, Minabe.
Had some tries with WMR-portal running alone first, as well as both, WMR and SteamVR running already when starting a game. I also tried launching a game with none of them running. Same outcome in any case. WMR and Steam are either be working fine if started first or are towed to start from the before launched game.
VorpX watcher is recognising the gamelaunch as intended and i can see the startingscreen of the game in my headset. There it stays and after some time the process just ends without an errormessage displayed. SteamVR/WMR-controllers are properly chosen in the configtool.
May you know to whom i can send the VorpX_troubleshoot-file?

Dr NoPrice: £2,650 | Nominal size: US 6 sht - 81"x81" | Grade: Very Good/Fine on linen | Year: 1962
Note: The name is Bond, James Bond' - the first Bond film starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress and an important landmark in cinema history. This is a large format poster from the film's first release, linen backed and presenting well. Six sheets were printed in four sections and pasted up when used so they had a near 100% destruction rate during the film's first run making this a very rare survivor. Prior to linen backing restoration, it had several tears, pinholes and a number of green paint spots and drips which are still visible on close inspection. Despite this, the colours are strong with no fading, the paper was sound with no yellowing and no paper loss and the linen backer did a great job on this rare and important poster.

Partnering to step up African swine fever preparedness
17 October 2019
Agriculture Victoria is increasing its African swine fever preparedness, with industry and governments keeping watch for potential detections in Australia.
African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly disease of pigs has spread rapidly through Asia over the past year and was recently detected in Timor-Leste.
It is contagious among pigs and has a high rate of mortality in affected herds. It affects both domestic and feral pigs and can survive for long periods in the environment. Humans are not susceptible to it.
Agriculture Victoria met with key members of the agriculture and pork industries last week to discuss preparedness in the event that African swine fever is detected in Australia. Representatives from Australian Pork Limited, the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) Pig Group, veterinary consultants, as well as some large pork producers were in attendance.
Victoria's Acting Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Cameron Bell said working hand-in-hand with industry was a key part of being prepared.
"Biosecurity is a shared responsibility. Everyone has a role to play in being prepared for responding to an incursion in order to have the best outcome. The need to work collaboratively on African swine fever preparedness continues to increase as the disease spreads globally," Dr Bell said.
"If African swine fever were to be detected in Victoria, we'd be working closely with the pig industry with the intent to contain the disease quickly so that it didn't spread. We'd seek to do that by restricting pig movements, undertaking disease surveillance and addressing the situation on infected farms as necessary. Similarly, if ASF were to be detected in another state, we'd be working to prevent it from entering Victoria."
VFF Pig Group President Tim Kingma said it was great to sit around a table with representatives from pig production, veterinary and government sectors all contributing to a discussion around preparedness.
"With African swine fever now so close, we're extremely nervous about the risk. Everyone has a role to play in keeping it out – if you're coming into contact with pigs, whether commercial, hobby farming or whether it be feral pigs, it's imperative not to feed swill," Mr Kingma said.
Dr Bell said it was crucial for everyone with a pig to have a Property Identification Code and to be recording movements through the PigPass database, which would enable Agriculture Victoria to trace the disease more quickly in the event of a detection.
"Everyone coming into contact with pigs also needs to be vigilant about what they feed pigs – only certified pig rations, grain, fruit and vegetables are appropriate," Dr Bell said.
"Do not feed swill, or waste food to pigs. This includes food scraps with meat, butcher's shop waste, or any food that contains meat and vegetables that have been served with meat.
"Swill feeding is banned in Victoria and throughout Australia to help protect our livestock from exotic animal diseases such as African swine fever."

Stacy Cartwright was named Man of the Match after Boston Town's 1-0 win against Cogenhoe.
He was chosen by Tile Factory Skegness and the award was presented by manager Gary Edgley.
It was the Poachers' second 1-0 win inside five days, following their Lincs Senior Tophy victory against Harrowby on Tuesday night.
After nine games without a clean sheet it was pleasing to make it two in a row.
The win against Cogenhoe was the first time the Poachers had registered a clean sheet in the league this season - their previous five had all come in cup games.

How to up your office style game this winter
You can still look cool at work without feeling the cold
Get your own personal stylist to help you find clothes you love. All online, completely free
"It rains a lot where I live, and I always feel like a classic yellow rain jacket and wellies don't fit in with my sense of style. How can I dress for the weather without looking silly?" Max via Facebook.
It's official – we've moved from big coat weather into raincoat weather, and while winter is almost over, it's not quite time to start unpacking your summer wardrobe. Knowing what to wear for work in transitional seasons can be particularly tricky, and like you said Max, a cool and colourful raincoat doesn't always do the job when you need to be displaying more professionalism than personality.
Where the key elements of your smart look probably don't offer much leeway for waterproofing, there are more options available when it comes to your shoes and outerwear. The best option to keep it covered and dry on rainy days? A mac or trench coat.
A double-breasted trench tends to lean more formal, and offers full protection from wind and rain to keep you extra when it's still a little nippy outside. If you wear a full suit, a trench coat is long enough to cover the jacket and the top half of your trousers, so you won't look like you've been splashed by a passing bus.
Designed for wet British weather, a mac is the ultimate gentleman's raincoat and another great option for transitional weather. More traditional versions are made with a rubberised outer layer to protect you against downpours, and are lightweight enough that you won't feel too warm as the weather starts to shift. The versatility of a mac means it will go with both formal and more relaxed outfits without looking out of place. The minimal, single-breasted style will serve you all year round (and for years to come), whether you go for classic stone, or more modern black or navy.
When it comes to footwear, a pair of lace-up or Chelsea boots offer more coverage than regular leather shoes, which will keep your feet and ankles dry. If these aren't elevated enough for your sense of style, a pair of chunky-soled derbies will help to protect your trousers against puddles, keeping you prepared for rainy days without sacrificing your smart aesthetic.

For the past two months, the State bureaucracy seemed to be extra busy as they scrambled to push as many tenders as they could before the constraints of the model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections could come into force.
Since March 1, many State agencies and departments pushed 8,886 tenders, including projects such as elevated corridors or the expensive white-topping of roads in Bengaluru, construction of check dams and drinking water projects in drought-affected areas, a slew of projects in "Smart Cities" — a key programme being implemented by the Centre, and roadworks in numerous constituencies.
Furthermore, 377 tenders were uploaded on Karnataka's e-procurement portal after 5 p.m. on March 10 when the Chief Election Commissioner of India announced the elections.
The press conference is considered by officials to be the start of the model code of conduct which prohibits publishing or finalising of tenders without the permission of local election committees.
March madness
While the last quarter of the year — January to March — sees the most tenders called because of the delays in getting approvals or finances, multiple officials who spoke to The Hindu on the condition of anonymity said political pressure also plays a role in pushing tenders before key elections.
To get an idea of the mad scramble, one has to only look at the sheer volume of works being tendered and published on the e-procurement portal.
On March 10, 414 tenders (for works, goods, and services) were published on the portal. Since January 1, 39,148 tenders (until March 12) were published. In comparison, in the non-election year of 2017, the corresponding figure is less than 25,000 tenders.
In 2018, which also saw the Assembly elections in Karnataka, 29,414 tenders had been published between January 1 and March 12. However, in two weeks prior to the declaration of the elections on March 27 last year, 7,074 tenders were called.
In the run-up to elections, officials — particularly in civic administration — were asked to schedule inaugurations of projects in constituencies. In addition, tenders, which signify the approval and start of works, become talking points during local campaigns, said officials. "When confronted with road or water issues, politicians can then tell their constituents that work is in progress, and tenders are the first step to it," said an official.
In other cases, officials said that once a tender is published, the process of finalising it — scrutiny of bids and taking internal approvals — can be done during the two months the model code of conduct would be in force whereas tenders cannot be finalised.
However, 377 tenders were published after the cut-off, including 179 on March 11 and 12. Sanjiv Kumar, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Karnataka, who held a press conference on March 10, clarified that the model code of conduct is assumed to have started at 5 p.m. on March 10. "All tenders published after this time is considered illegal," he said.
The e-procurement portal, run by the e-governance Department, will continue to run as officials can upload tenders that have been approved by the Election Commission and its designated committees. "We do not stop our State departments from uploading their tenders during this time. However, the moment the code of conduct is enforced, we carry an advisory informing officials that Election Commission permission is mandatory," said Sunil Panwar, Director of Electronic Delivery of Citizen Services.

Senator Jim Molan Booed For Saying He 'Doesn't Rely On Evidence' For Climate Change Views
Senator Jim Molan has drawn heckles and facepalms after his appearance on ABC's Q&A last night, which saw him claim his mind remained 'open' on whether climate change was 'human-induced'.
The Liberal MP was asked about his views on what caused the severity of the bushfires that have hit Australia over the past few months.
The retired Army Major General was flanked by climate scientist Michael Mann, NSW MP Andrew Constance, Bega Valley Shire Mayor Kristy McBain, Indigenous specialist in traditional knowledge and fire management Victor Steffensen and Surf Life Saving NSW Far South Coast director Cheryl McCarthy.
Are these bushfires reflective of 'the new normal'? #QandA pic.twitter.com/VHDOjtA1hl
- ABC Q+A (@QandA) February 3, 2020
They were all asked about the devastating scenes that have played out over the summer and whether this is the new normal.
Mr Molan was particularly quizzed because he sits at the federal level of the Liberal party and many want to know what the party line is on whether climate change is to blame for the fires.
"I accept the climate is changing," he told the crowd. "It has changed and it will change. What it's producing is hotter and drier weather and a hotter and drier country.
"As to whether it is human-induced climate change, my mind is open."

When asked why he was open to other suggestions about climate change causes, he replied with: "Michael [Mann] might say that the science is settled.
"The one thing that I agree with Michael is that climate change and our policies in relation to climate change are designed to mitigate the risk. It's very difficult to mitigate the risk.
"You can go back and look for the last 100 years [at] how or why it started. If we can't mitigate risk, then we've got to adapt. And that's the key to what they're doing. We are adapting."
"I respect very much scientific opinion but every day across my desk comes enough information for me to say that there are other opinions."
The programme's host Hamish Macdonald pushed him to specify what sort of 'information' could make him question the overwhelming evidence suggesting climate change is, at least in part, due to human influences.
Senator Molan replied: "I'm not relying on evidence, Hamish."
Unsurprisingly, that drew loads of heckling purely because a Liberal MP admitted that he's using unsubstantiated 'information' to dictate his view on climate change.
Climate scientist Michael Mann replied to the statement with: "Come on now, mate. You should keep an open mind but not so open that your brain falls out."
People on social media criticised him for this view, including other politicians, with one person calling the questioning a 'car crash that turned into a train wreck'.

So Mr. Griaffe and I recieved two giant packages this week. Inside there were seven nice gifts from our registry. We recieved them from Tom & Shelly, a couple who has all ready RSVPed yes to our wedding.
Tom & Shelly are travelling from out of state so it makes sense that they'd send gifts ahead of time.
Here's my questions, do I sent them a thank you card now or do we wait until after the wedding? Do we send the two thank yous? One for the gifts and one for coming to the wedding?

Online crafts marketplace Etsy's shares soared Thursday after announcing it'll take a larger percentage of each sale and raising its full-year guidance to reflect the higher revenue.
The stock gained 26 percent by the end of trading, after rising as much as 35 percent to $44.78 earlier in the day.
The company said Thursday it was raising the base take rate — or the percentage of a sale that Etsy keeps for itself — from 3.5 percent to 5 percent, effective July 16.
It now expects full-year revenue growth between 32 percent and 34 percent, up from its previous guidance of 22 percent to 24 percent.
Etsy, whose platform connects artisans and crafters with online shoppers, also announced new subscription plans and tools for its independent vendors.
As of Thursday's close the stock was up 100 percent year to date and more than 200 percent in the 12-month period.

Dans 30 ans lorsque la Terre comptera plus de 9 milliards de personnes
The area of the Earth currently devoted to agricultural activity is estimated at 50%. This means that half the planet's surface is being used to feed 7.5 billion people. But what will happen in 30 years' time, when the world's population reaches 9.1 billion? Will agricultural land have to increase by the same proportion, that is by more or less 30%?
In the opinion of experts who attended the 2009 How to Feed the World in 2050 forum in Rome,organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), feeding an increasingly large, rich and urban population will require raising overall food production by 70%.
Cereal production is expected to increase from 2.1 to 3 million tonnes annually, and meat production, from 270 to 470 million tonnes. The challenge is daunting, especially given that the impact of climate change combined with out increasing consumption of biofuels is only adding to the problem. And as if all this weren't enough, worrying signs of degradation "in 15 of the 24 ecosystem services studied" including the water supply and forested areas have been noted.
But the news isn't all bad. The FAO nevertheless finds reason to be optimistic. The report states that "the world has the resources and technology to eradicate hunger and ensure long-term food security for all, in spite of many challenges and risks." It notes, however, that political will is going to be required to adopt sustainable development practices, among other things, and to commit to the responsible management of natural resources such as water, land and biodiversity.
In the ten years since this forum took place, it appears that the message has been getting through, including here in Montreal, where a number of sustainable food initiatives have been launched.

Hello good day http://al4a.fun/ al-4a "The scariest moment in my life was in 2005. It was a Friday. I was on my way to school and I heard that my 20-year-old brother, Andre, was shot and killed and for me it brought everything home," she said. "For me it really was a shocker. It showed me that anyone can die and that young people need to be the ones to help and change and stop it."

Historically (even prior to the Revelation of The Qur'ān), and especially contemporaneously (via the Collapse of the Ottoman-Empire), there's frequently been this Kalām/Rhetoric amongst Elitists to retain/preserve their Powers of Populaces. With this being said, Muslim-Elites are clearly no different from our Non-Muslim Counterparts. However, unlike Non-Muslins: Muslims Past&Present, Pre-Qur'ān & Post-Qur'ān, etc. have continuously attempted to misuse at-Tanzīl/Revelation, Muslim Religio-Scholars, Islāmic-Concepts (like Waliyy-ul-Amr/Loyalty of Authority pertaining to Muslim-Leaders/Rulers) & so on to attempt to justify their Oppression against Others. And, it's done in such Ways exclusively to preserve their Self-Serving Authoritarian-Control. Fortunately, for us though, in spite of their Oppressive-Tactics to attempt to convince Populaces that regardless of their Oporession that they're entitled to receiving Respect, Loyalty, Obedience, etc. there exists Revelation to debunk any, every, all Things which Oppressive-Leaders/Rulers stand for. The following applies to any/all Manifestations, Forms, Degrees of al-Imārah (Leadership/Rulership) by the way.
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ أَطِیعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِی ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡۖ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِی شَیۡءࣲ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ خَیۡرࣱ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِیلًا
"Those whom believe pay attention: obey Allah & the Messenger, as well as the Possessors of Authority amongst you. If you differ, concerning anything, then refer to Allah & the Messenger, providing you believe in Allah & the Last-Day. That's best & a most excellent Conclusion."(Noble-Qur'ān: Chpt.4, V.59)
وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَیۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوهُمۡ وَأَخۡرِجُوهُم مِّنۡ حَیۡثُ أَخۡرَجُوكُمۡۚ وَٱلۡفِتۡنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلۡقَتۡلِۚ وَلَا تُقَـٰتِلُوهُمۡ عِندَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ حَتَّىٰ یُقَـٰتِلُوكُمۡ فِیهِۖ فَإِن قَـٰتَلُوكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡۗ كَذَ ٰلِكَ جَزَاۤءُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ
"And combat them wherever you find them & expel them wherever they expelled you. And, Drama/Oppression is worse than Killing/Slaughter. But, don't combat them within the Sacred-Mosque, unless you're combated within it. So, combat them, if they combat you. Such is the Retribution of the Disbelievers."(Noble-Qur'ān: Chpt.2, V.191)
`Abdullah ibn-`Uthmān ibn-`Āmir/Abū-Bakr as-Siddīq (May Allah be pleased with him), after the Death of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), assumed al-Imārah over the Muslims. Upon that, he publicly stated, "I have been granted Authority over you, in spite of not being the Best from amongst you. If I do well, then help me. But, if I error, then correct me. Empathy for Truth is Loyalty, whereas Apathy for Truth is Treachery. The Weak amongst you shall be Strong to/with me, unless/until I have secured/restored his Rights, if Allah wills. And the Strong amongst you shall be Weak to/with me, unless/until I've seized from him the Rights of Others, if Allah wills. So, obey me, so long as I obey Allah & His Messenger. But, if I disobey Allah & His Messenger, then you owe me no Obedience. Arise for your prayer: may Allah mercify you.".(az-Zuhrī, ibn-Ishāq, ibn-Hishām, at-Tabarī, at-Tabarānī, as-Suyūtī, ibn-Sa`d, al-Wāqidī, ibn-Kathīr, Martin Lings)
Now, please, keep in Mind that Abū-Bakr is Unanimously-Recognized amongst the Scholars of the Sunnah/Prophetic-Tradition as being the Best/Number-1 Companion of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) & the Most-Senior amongst all of his Companion-Peers (May Allah be pleased with them altogether)…this is what he stated concerning about his own Self, his own Imārah over the Muslims. So, upon that, whom're we to posture as though we're somehow Entitled to Imārah and/or Entitled to oppress via our Imārah without Consequence?!!! So, just know: it honestly really doesn't matter which Muslim-Leader/Ruler, Muslim Religio-Scholar, egc. attempts to make you think/feel that you must obey them regardless of how they are. This "Be Patient with/Obedient to the Muslim-Leader/Ruler" Rhetoric only emboldens Oppressors to remain Oppressors. Basically, this Rhetoric spewed by Oppressors is like imposing Stockholm-Syndrome upon People: when the Oppressed begin to not only tolerate/accept Oppression, but also defend the Oppressor. And, that's exactly what's been happening within the Muslim-World for a Long-Time. Ironically, these Same-Oppressors command their Muslim Religio-Scholars to spew this Stockholm-Syndrome to their Populaces/Citizenry, merely because they don't want what their Geo-Political Ancestors did to occur to them: pertaining to al-Kharajiyyah/Rebellion against the Ottoman-Empire for example, when the Muslim-Arabs assisted Non-Muslim Powers to fight against Fellow-Muslims, in the Name of al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia.(See: https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/hujjahagainstsaudiarabia)
As per my Conclusion: don't ever let anyone tell you to not, that you shouldn't/can't, that it's Sinful to rebel against Oppression.
Gareth Bryant
Allah tells us:
1. "And don't approach az-Zinā/THOTery: verily, it's Shameful-Character/Behavior & an Evil-Path.".(Noble-Qur'ān: Chpt.17, V.32)
2. "And don't let your Hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.".(Noble-Qur'ān: Chpt.5, V.8)
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has told us:
1. "Whomever amongst any of you has Children they should/must:
a. Give them a Positive-Name.
b. Teach them Literacy.
c. Get them Married.
But/and whomever fails to get their Children Married, whatever THOTery they do, their Sins become the Sins of the Father.".(al-Bayhaqī)
2. "The Pen (of al-Hisāb/Accountability) is lifted from 3-Persons:
a. A Child (Non/Pre-Pubescent-Person).*
b. A Mentally-Challenged/Ill Person.
c. A Sleeping-Person.
(*Purposely highlighting the Above-Category from this Particular-Narration, this is where our Discussion is to begin.)".(Abū-Dāwud, ibn-Mājah)
As per the Narration concerning al-Balāghah/Puberty, we learn the following:
a. There's no Hisāb for any Human-Being unless/until they live long enough to experience al-Balāghah.
b. The Definitions of both Childhood & Manhood/Womanhood via the Islāmic-Lens is clearly defined.
c. The Definition of Child-Molestation is clearly defined.
As per a: A Non/Pre-Pubescent Person isn't Islāmically-Responsible for any Positive/Negative-Actions which they do, unless/until they've reached al-Balāghah.
As per b: al-Balāghah is 💯% predicated upon Basic-Biology…once a Human experiences al-Balāghah they're no longer a "Child": depending upon their Birth-Gender, they're now either a Biological-Man or a Biological-Woman.*
(*Now, there's some/many whom will attempt to mention Psycho-Emotional Maturity as a Factor…granted. And, Psycho-Emotional Maturity, of course, is essential. However, Puberty & Psycho-Emotional Maturity are clearly Mutually-Exclusive, and Psycho-Emotional Maturity is predicated upon Personal-Constitution, Familial-Upbringing, Societal-Conditioning, etc.)
As per c: the Islāmic-Definition of Child-Molestation is to have any Sexual-Contact with a Fellow-Human prior to them experiencing al-Balāghah. And, this is exactly how/why we know that the Marriage between Muhammad ibn-`Abdillah: the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) & `Ā'ishah bint-`Abdillah/Abū-Bakr as-Siddīq (May Allah be pleased with her) was never consummated until after it was confirmed that she had reached al-Balāghah.(al-Bukhārī, Muslim)
Now, on to the Issue of Sexual-Abuse Allegations surrounding the Mythos of Robert "RKelly" Kelly via the #SurvivingRKelly Phenomenon…here's what my Assessment is:
a. Is RKelly a Sexual-Predator/Sexual-Abuser…Yes. In fact, in all Truthfulness/Honesty many of us (Countless-People) are self-manifestations of Sexual-Predatism/Sexual-Abuse. For example: if/when we're gawking on the Social-Media Pages of Sexualized-Persons, finding enjoyment in browsing Porn-Sites, Sexualized Mainstream-Entertainment (TV-Shows, Films, Cartoons, Music, etc.), allowing our Daughters to dress-up as Nicki Minaj & Cardi B for Halloween, having a Pre-Pubescent Male dress as a Transformer/Transgender at a Homosexual-Male Bar/Club & dancing in front of Grown-Ass/Horny-Ass Homosexual-Men: all of this is equally Sexually-Predatorial/Sexually-Abusive.
b. Is RKelly a Child-Molester…No. I say this, definitively, because none of the Women confirmed to have had Sexual-Encounters with RKelly were Non/Pre-Pubescent, thereby confirming that they weren't Islāmically-Children. This is, as is expected, going to rub People the Wrong-Way. But…as if I actually care: my Maslahah/Purpose is to make the Uncomfortable Comfortable.
Let's observe some Facts:
a. Most Human-Societies have had/still have an established `Urfiyyah/Cultural-Narrative allowing People to marry as long as it's understood that there's no Sexual-Engagement with Non/Pre-Pubescent Persons. Now there's obviously Exceptions to this Standard, notably via Greco-Roman Civilization which specifically co-signed People having Sexual-Contact with Non/Pre-Pubescent Persons.
b. Within the United States alone: prior to the 20th-Century, C.E. most American-Women were Married prior to Age-18.
c. Within the United States right now, as we speak: there's US-States which allow People to marry under Age-18, under Age-17, under Age-16, etc. & in some US-States there's no Age-Limits for Marriage at all.
d. Within the United States right now, as we speak: Thousands of Americans under Age-18 get Married annually.
e. Pornography is hands-down the Biggest-Pontificate/Promoter of Sexual-Predatism/Sexual-Abuse. I say this exclusively because it's Non-Debatable Truth/Honesty…Pornography is literally a Part of every Element/Facet of our Modern-Societies.
Even when it comes to Social-Media via Hashtagging:
Pornography has Distinct-Genres which (directly, overtly, blatantly) pontificate/promote the following:
a. Bestiality
b. Child-Molestation
c. Incest
d. Rape/Rape-Culture
e. Kidnapping/Human-Trafficking
f. School/Teacher-Student Sex
g. Geriatric/Senior-Citizen Sexual-Abuse
h. Homosexuality
i. Adultery
j. Fornication
k. Masturbation
You should well get my Point, by now…my Point is that there's Millions of RKelly's in our World. And, many/most of them have been almost exclusively influenced/conditioned to be just like RKelly via Pornography which pontificates/promotes Sexual-Abuse. Yet, ironically, sadly, Pornography is tolerated, accepted as a Legitimate-Element within Secular-Society. Meanwhile, it's the Premier-Conduit as per grooming, influencing, indoctrinating the Minds&Hearts of Countless-People the World over, and thus turning them into Psycho-Emotional RKelly's. Some of the most Notable-Figures in the World, whose Influence has spanned Multiple-Generations, and crossing-over Various-Spheres such as Politics, Pop-Culture, Art, Entertainment, Comedy, etc have had both their Hands deeply entrenched into Sexual-Predatism/Sexual-Abuse.
They are the following Individuals:
a. Let's look at one of, if not the most Popular-Figure in the History of Pornography: Hugh Hefner…the RKelly before RKelly…the Stan Lee, George Lucas, Michael Jordan of Pornography. At the Time of Hugh Hefner's Death, his Last-Wife: Crystal Harris was in the same Age-Range as one of his 20-Something Year-Old Children, while he was in his 80's.
b. Let's revisit the Life&Times of one of the Most-Celebrated Presidents in US-History: John Fitzgerald Kennedy: JFK. He indulged in an Open Adulterous-Affair with Marilyn Monroe as a Sitting US-President, which imposed an Incredible-Embarrassment to his Wife: Jacqueline Bouvier.
c. Let's travel back in Time to when William Jefferson Blythe, III/Bill Clinton committed Adultery with Monica Lewinsky in the White House, embarrassing completely his Wife Hillary Rodham. And was merely a Culmination of several Sexual-Scandals which spanned his entire Political-Career.
d. William/Bill "The Pill" Cosby: made Date-Rape a revamped National-Conversation, via the Date-Rape Drug Allegations which he indirectly admitted to in a Legal-Deposition, pertaining to 3-Decades of Sexual-Abuse.
e. Allan Stewart Konigsberg/Woody Allen: he initiated a Sordidly-Public Adulterous-Relationship with Soon-Yi Previn: an Adoptive-Daughter of his Domestic-Partner Mia Farrow, as well as Sexual-Abuse Allegations involving one of her other Adoptive-Children: Dylan Farrow.
f. Roman Polanski: Fled the United States in 1978, after pleading Guilty as per Statutory-Rape Allegations, pertaining to Samantha Gailey, whom was 13-Years Old at the Time of these Charges…an Official US-Fugitive ever since. He has not been apprehended by US-Authorities, nor has he been extradited back to the US.
In conclusion: as per Sexual-Abuse, there's more than enough blame to go around, and all of us, whether we're willing to admit it or not, we're either directly or indirectly Active-Participants in the pontification, promotion of Sexual-Abuse. As I always tell People, "It's easy to judge People, when our Sins aren't Public-Knowledge"…"You either judge everyone or judge no one."

Allah says in The Qur'ān, "And, don't allow your Hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.".(Noble-Qur'ān: Chpt.8, V.5)
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said that Allah said, "Oh, My Servants!!! Verily, I've made Oppressed Forbidden even upon Myself, as well as between you. So, do not oppress one another.".(an-Nawawī)
In light of so many Events around our Planet, detailing the constant & consistent Oppression of People, whom are Desperate to be heard, to be listened to, to be helped-Sadly, much like the Carnage which took place during the infamous Rwanda-Conflict, in 1994, C.E., there's seems to be absolutely zero Change, in terms of how the International-Community chooses to respond to Conflicts which yield levels of Destruction which can't be defined in any ways other than: Inhumane, Genocidal, etc. And, you'd think that the World would've learned from the Errors of Rwanda, as the Nations of our World just stood by and made us watch in agony while they did nothing, as nearly a Million Human-Beings, along with countless other Thousands were: tortured, maimed, raped, murdered, starved-out all in the name of Power & Domination over the Other.(For more Information concerning International-Genocide: http://www.genocidewatch.com)
Ever since the 1990's, C.E.: there've several Nations which have become war-torn, in which untold Millions of Human-Beings have become the subject of Theft, Rape, Murder, etc. With these blatant acts of Genocide being witness before our very eyes, we've stayed glued to our Social-Media tools of Communication & Observance, (TV, the News, the Internet, YouTube, etc.) to remain "Aware" of what's happening. However, unfortunately, that's largely all we've done as a Society is just sit-back and watch, as Multitudes of People just like us: Humans perpetually suffer unjustly. It's almost as though we've become so used to Carnage, that it's now just another form of Entertainment.
Also, it seems as though the "International-Community" conveniently waits for Conflicts to get at their worsts, before anything substantial is actually done, in order to significantly dispel Oppression around the World. For example: for those of us old enough to remember, the Conflict in Rwanda from beginning to ending was nothing short of the many things which were imposed upon Human-Beings during the Reign of the 3rd-Reich during the WWII-Era (1939-1945, C.E.). The World said "Never Again", pertaining to the World's-Nations sitting on the Sidelines as the International "Bullies of da Block" push People around. But, the World hasn't kept its Word, to maintain Justice for Oppressed-Peoples around the Globe.
Just like what occurred within Rwanda, there've been a string of International-Conflicts, either caused by Religious, Ethnic strife between Peoples of the same Nation or imposed upon them by Bullies whom profess to be the Defenders of Freedom…Justice…Equality.
Let's take a look at some examples of the Rwanda-Syndrome:
For Decades, Nations such as these have been torn apart by Conflict, both internally amongst themselves, as well as the Conflicts being catalyzed, arguably even promoted via Western-Colonization, Western-Influence, etc. Whatever the Reason doesn't really matter. What matters is the fact that these listed Nations have been struck with Conflicts which have completely either broken-down their entire Societies or has left Millions Dead, Maimed, Raped, Displaced/Homeless, Starving, Diseased, and yet there's been little to nothing done to concretely put an end to the Oppression the Innocents of these Countries are forced to face. Which comes back to my Point, regarding us being self-victimized by the Rwanda-Syndrome: as a Globally-Connected Society, one would think/assume that there'd greater Efforts by the International-Community to resolve such Conflicts. But, this is clearly yet to be seen.
My Question is this though: how many more People have to actually succumb to these types of Atrocities, before we actually get it, that these are Human-Beings who don't deserve to be treated like this?!!!

The United States is still not declaring the Coup in Egypt a Coup…
…Oh, I wonder why?
1. Could it be because of all of the influence that the United States wants to maintain in Egypt, by supporting the military-fashioned dictators, whom all do the bidding of the United States?
2. Or, maybe it's because of all the billions of dollars worth of U.S. Foreign-Aid sent to Egypt, on an annual-basis, which compels Egypt to do the bidding of the United States?
3. Then, again, it could be because of all of the allowances of Egypt for the United States to have the infamous CIA Torture-Camps, within Egypt, that have been used by the United States, since the 1950's?
Yeah…really interesting stuff, right?!!!
To put it very simply:
The United States is truly an amazingly-hypocritical nation…
…America is, literally the only nation, in Human-History, that has official laws about" not negotiating with Terrorists-Groups/Organizations" and "not supporting Military-Coups, when they've actually, constantly/consistently, done those same exact 2-things within the past 4-decades alone, while no one within the U.S. gov't. has yet to acknowledge this: Nicaragua (via the infamous Iran-Contra Affair, which brings us to the "not negotiating with Terrorists" thing, which I've written extensively about, in a previous blog-post: http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/ifanwaralawlakiwereolivernorthhedstillbealivechillin), Panama, Grenada, and these are just some of many examples…Ahhh, America…Land of the Corrupt & home of the Hypocrites.

Author's Note:
Good-News, guys!!!
I've started the first, of many guest blogposting articles, on my site. The first of what I hope to be many blogposting article is a brother, named, Mohammad Humayun Khan, and he has written something very noteworthy to read-Mohammad Humayun Khan has written about the upcoming presidential-election, that is going to be a very crucial, perhaps the most crucial presidential-election to date.
This is his stance, in his own words:
I have wanted to write this article/note for a while but never had the chance to get around to it. However since it's only a week away, I thought the elections would be an appropriate context in which to write this.
Just so you know, this piece is not intended to be political-I am not advocating for or endorsing a candidate-The purpose of bringing in the election, and current politics, is to illustrate the broader points I am trying to make.
Throughout this election-season, and up to the recent presidential-debates, I have noticed that most American Muslims (AMs for the remainder of this writing) lean heavily in support towards the incumbent, President Obama. Through conversations with most AMs (including both fervent Obama supporters and the ho-hum ones), I've noticed that the reasons, presented, for supporting him can be described as nothing less than narrow & linear. The most often-cited reasons are his rhetoric of inclusion (at least as compared to many in the Republican camp), as well as his anti-war stances (i.e. Iraq). Basically, it seems like most AMs have a goody-goody feeling about President Obama. Reasons, both on a conscious level and subconscious level, may include that he is non-white, his middle name is Hussain, he looks foreign, he goes to the Middle East and gives inspiring speeches, has a less hawkish sounding stance on the Israeli-Palestine issue, or he says Pakistan like any authentic, biryani-loving, tea-drinking, tobacco-chewing Pakistani, from Karachi, would.
If these are, in fact, the only reasons AMs support him, then this is a very disturbing phenomenon and points to broader issues we have in the AM community. The two broadest issues it points to is that of Muslims not taking ownership of this country and Muslims' linear and unsystematic way of thinking. These two broad issues are the point of emphasis of this note.
The point of this note is not to take sides of who is a better candidate for this country. Obviously, AMs, like any other American group, will and should vote for the candidate whom they think will best represent their interests. For AMs, this includes issues on foreign-policy, related to Muslim-Countries, Islamophobia, civil-liberties, etc. However, why is it that most Muslims seem to virtually ignore the rest of the issues that affect the United States, as a whole? Issues related to the economy, deficit/debt, healthcare, and education, seem to be neatly tucked under the rug. From my conversations, with the average AM, they seem to be very ignorant about the facts and circumstances around these other challenges we face as Americans.
For example, we know that the deficit/debt problem is probably the number-one problem we have in this country; yet, I have not heard any AM or AM organization, in the US, take this issue very seriously. Look, if you are an American Muslim and looked at these other issues in depth, and have concluded that Obama is in fact a better choice for this country, I have no problem with that! What I do have a problem with are AMs totally ignoring the issues that are not exclusively tied to their sectarian interests. And, I honestly don't think if all AMs objectively looked at these other issues, all or even most, would conclude that Obama's policies are worth trumpeting for (i.e. Obamacare, high government spending, failed stimulus, drone-attacks, killing US citizens abroad without evidence, or due-process/trial, invasion of sovereignty of Muslim-Countries).
Of course, many would still favor some of his policies over the challenger, Mitt Romney; but, I don't think all AMs would agree that his policies are unanimously better than Romney's. Sadly, most AMs have not even taken a chance to read Romney's nor Paul Ryan's economic-plans; yet, they somehow spew-off the same extreme left-leaning rhetoric, of how it would be hurtful to the economy. If you did read it, and you think it would, that is fine! But most AMs have not, and yet, still ignorantly reject anything that comes from that alternative political-voice.
Shouldn't we, as American Muslims, who live, work and reap the benefits of this country, start at the very least, weigh-in these broader issues, as heavily as those that only affect our narrow and exclusive interests? Or, at the very least start talking about the other issues?
Sadly, this phenomenon of exclusively concentrating on Muslim-centric issues sort of indicates that AMs are not taking real ownership of this country. Many AMs will say that they do not truly feel part of this country. To that I say, how could you not? Have we not been blessed to be able to come into this country, settle-down & settle-in, live with peace and security, obtain a better life than any of our relatives back home can ever dream of, practice our religion openly, send our kids (both boys and girls) to school, and live in a society that provides us opportunity after opportunity? Many will point to the growing tide of Islamophobia and the damage it has taken on their psyche. No doubt, that Islamophobia is a major concern-My response to that is if AMs genuinely and proactively start finding solutions, to the broader challenges that the country faces as a whole, Islamophobia will naturally start to dissipate.
What's most-amazing is that there are a few issues that dominate the AM political-discourse, to such an extent, that most AMs who don't even have a clue or genuine concern about these issues will vote for a candidate solely based on the stance the candidate takes on it.
I hate to bring this up, but the best example of this is the Israeli-Palestine problem. Now, this is one area that actually seems to unify Muslims around the world and AMs should care about this issue as it speaks to one of the most atrocious forms of injustice and divisiveness in Human-History. But most AMs, who are not even knowledgeable about the situation, completely write-off a candidate, just because they feel a candidate may be on the wrong side of the issue.
I mean, honestly, ask yourselves these questions: Do you really lose sleep at night, thinking about what's going on in Palestine? I mean, really, wouldn't the impending loss of your job or health-problems of your children, cause more consternation to you than some of these other Muslim-centric issues? If so, then, why should we not vote along the lines which actually has direct-affects on our day-to-day lives? Or, why not at least, start weighing-in on these broader issues proportionally?
I am not saying that we shouldn't care about the Israeli-Palestine issue; but, we need to be more rational, in the way in which we make our voting-decisions, or at the very least, the way we direct our discourse!
Unfortunately, thinking in such an exclusively centered way also shows AMs' unsystematic thinking-process which leads to counter-intuitive results. What I mean by this is that if AMs start becoming authentic participants in this society, and start finding solutions to the problems posed to this great nation, it would translate into better outcomes for Muslims around the world-Holding seats in Congress, or beings heads of major corporations/institutions bring a more dramatic change to the status-quo in both the Muslim-World, as well as the Western-World-A more robust US economy (with all else being equal) would, naturally, translate into more wealth for AMs, which can be used towards charitable-causes and more importantly, in the building of institutions and infrastructure of positive change in both the Muslim-World & the Western-World.
As a tangible example-
In the past couple of years, I have had the privilege of attending a few charitable-dinners, aimed at raising money, for greater causes in Pakistan, such as the renovation of hospitals or the development of schools. At one of these events, as I sat and watched my fellow, generous, Pakistani-Americans, pour out money for these worthy-causes, I couldn't help to wonder how we became so blessed to have the opportunities to give back in the first place. For whatever the reason, Allah has chosen us, to be these most-fortunate individuals. But, I've also found myself pondering about the future of AMs (in this case Pakistani AMs) in this country, and the possibility of AMs being enormously wealthy and simultaneously being positive agents of change in our societies. So, I've imagined the same fundraising dinner, 10 years from now, and couldn't contain my excitement on thinking about how we would be able to generate 5,10 or 20 times more funds, for all of these various worthy-causes! I mean, really think about that!
However, the success of AMs cannot come at the detriment of the United States of America. In other words, the success of AMs is intractability tied to the success of this great country of ours. Therefore, AMs need to become authentic stake-holders of this country, and, in turn, have to find and develop solutions to the problems that the US is currently faces. Moreover, some of the current problems the US faces are ones which Islam, itself, has the ability to solve. I mean, think about the fact that our National Debt sits at over $16 Trillion; how are we to pay interest on this Debt based on its enormous size?!!! Even rudimentary knowledge of Islam reveals the abhorrence of interest-based debt. Thus, we, as AMs, should be at the forefront, spear-heading the solutions to this financial-issue!
To end, I just want to thank everyone who has read this note, with an open mind. Again, this was never meant to be a political-piece; rather, I am just hoping to bring a change in peoples thinking methodology. Whether you vote Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, other, or even neither, please weigh-in ALL issues, which we all face, as Americans. Start taking ownership of this country, which means not just taking the benefits and hiding, but also sharing in the problems, being active-participants in the solutions, start thinking systematically and reasonably, because we know a community is doomed to fail if it fails to reason.
And please let me know your guys thoughts on this!

Scantily clad girls baring their breasts for strings of beads, sunburnt boys chugging cans of beers through bongs and clouds of vape smoke hanging over the formerly pristine sand: this is March in South Padre Island. Spring Break sees the sleepy island community of just over 5, people transformed as an estimated , college kids descend for long days of boozing on the beach. But DailyMail. Police chief Jose De La Rosas, 30, says his small department frequently sends officers to South Padre — even though their area butts up against territory controlled by the notorious Golfos Cartel. Pictured: Student Bayle Bucceri, 18, opens her mouth to have an alcoholic drink sprayed at her. College students chug beer from funnels on the beach during the annual ritual of Spring Break in March. Two men watch and cheer on two women in bikinis engaged in a steamy makeout session on the beach.
She eyed him for a moment, her smile turning into a little bit of a smirk, You cant hide anything from me you know, Im your mom I know all.
He snorted a little, wondering what she thought she knew, Its nothing, really. Doesnt seem like nothing she lured. He sighed, Im just Stuck between two options.

Room owner in order history not displayed correctly after buying
SlimeMold last edited by SlimeMold
As the title says. I am in room E3S4. Two of the other parties in the screenshot are NPCs, but W38N18 is occupied by Fasta. I'm using the steam version of the client.
- Which shard is affected? I know shard3 is affected, but I don't have a way to check the others.
- What happened? Player name is shown beside the incorrect room in the expanded view of order history.
- What should have happened? Player name should be shown beside the room actually owned by the player.
- How can we reproduce this? It's difficult for a single player to determine scope, but possibly just by buying resources from the market.
Thanks, we're aware and working on the fix.
Transaction details have been reworked, everything should be fine now.

In a related editorial in this week's BMJ, Evans reiterates the recommendations made by Ruston and Norris and in particular stresses that as two thirds of all cardiac patients die at home, basic life support training should be targeted at close relative and friends of patients with known coronary artery disease. The author also draws attention to the proposed use of "intelligent" defibrillators by policeman, fireman and other lay first responders, such as security guards, airline cabin attendants and voluntary first aiders.

Paulette's Point of View: More Good News
Paulette's Point of View: More Good News: "The resurgence seems to continue. Our 2009 State of Fundraising Survey showed the strongest sense of optimism for fundraisers in three years. During the first quarter of this year, our job banks featured double the number of postings compared to the first quarter of 2009. And now there's a new survey from The Chronicle of Philanthropy which shows that charitable giving grew by a median of 11 percent in the first three months of 2010, compared with 2009."
