The Fifth of May; A Napoleonic Ode

The Fifth of May

By Alessandro Manzoni (1785–1873)

HE has passed. As stark and still, When the mortal gasp was given, Lay the unremindful spoil Whence so great a soul was riven; So the Earth, smitten and dazed At the announcement, stands amazed

Silent, pondering on that last Fateful hour; nor, gazing back In fearful wonder o’er the past, Kens she when with such a track By mortal foot shall yet be pressed The dust upon her bloody breast.

My Genius saw him on a throne In flashing splendor, nothing said; The blandishments of fortune flown, He fell, he rose, again was laid; While thousand voices then awoke, Mingled with these, no word he spoke;

Virgin of end-serving praise And the coward’s safe outrage, Shocked by the blot of such a blaze, He rises now his chance to gage, Shaking the urn, e’en to untie A canticle which will not die.

From Pyramids to heights alpine Flashed that god’s swift lightning-stroke; From Manzares to the Rhine Rapid, crashing thunders broke, Rolling on from Scylla’s sea Shaking farthest Muscovy.

Was this, glory just and true? Sentence waits posterity. Bow we to the Highest’s view, Willing us in him to see Stamped a trace more vast and grand Of His own resistless hand.

With hurricanes of anxious joy, Earthquake exploits of wild renown, A heart in unsubdued annoy In slavery gloats upon the crown; And gains the goal and grasps a prize ‘T was madness there to set his eyes.

All he tasted; glory growing Greater after great embroil; Flight; and victory bestowing Palace; and the sad exile; Twice in the dust a victim razed, Twice on the altar victim blazed.

He made a name, two centuries, set Armed against each other and To him turned as for their fate, Waited a signal of his hand. He sat between them, hushed them still, Made arbiter his iron will;

And disappeared; his empty days Mured within that narrow bound, Mark for envy’s fiercest rays, Pity’s sympathy profound, Inextinguishable hate, And love unsubdued by fate.

As on the shipwrecked sailor’s head The wave is wrapped and weighs him down, The wave upon whose lofty spread His strained sight was lately thrown, Scanning to discern once more The distant and evading shore;

Such on that soul the massy weight Of memories descended, when — How many times! — he would narrate What he has been to coming men; And on the eternal page remained Fallen the palsied, nerveless hand!

How oft while day without emprise Sank into sepulchral rest, Bent to earth his flashing eyes, Arms enlaced upon his breast, He stood; from days of other years Received the assaults of souvenirs;

Ah, now, methinks, in such a strait The spirit fell, breathless and riven By keen despair; but strong and great Came a pitying hand from heaven And into more inspiring air The desperate transported there;

Led through the flowery paths of Hope To the eternal plains — the meed Where guerdons bright, supernal ope, That loftiest wishes far exceed. Past glory’s trump and brightest glare Are silence and deep darkness there.

Reviewed the moving tents of war And vanquished ramparts of the foe And flashing columns gleam afar And wavy squadrons charging go And swift commands impetuous made And swift obedience displayed.

O thou, fair Immortal! beneficent Faith, Accustomed to triumphs, conqueror of death! This, also, among thy triumphings write; Since no prouder greatness, no loftier height Of earth-born glory that mortals can know Has come to the shame of Golgotha to bow.

From these weary ashes, thou Words condemning ban; God, who fells and lashes now Lifts and soothes again, On that lonely dying bed Soft His heavenly presence shed.

Prophet and Kings, pp. 117-128: Chapter (9) Elijah the Tishbite

SECTION 2—PROPHETS OF THE NORTHERN KINGDOM

“Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? Prudent, and he shall know them? For the ways of the Lord are right, And the just shall walk in them: But the transgressors shall fall therein.” Hosea 14:9.

This chapter is based on 1 Kings 17:1-7.

Among the mountains of Gilead, east of the Jordan, there dwelt in the days of Ahab a man of faith and prayer whose fearless ministry was destined to check the rapid spread of apostasy in Israel. Far removed from any city of renown, and occupying no high station in life, Elijah the Tishbite nevertheless entered upon his mission confident in God's purpose to prepare the way before him and to give him abundant success. The word of faith and power was upon his lips, and his whole life was devoted to the work of reform. His was the voice of one crying in the wilderness to rebuke sin and press back the tide of evil. And while he came to the people as a reprover of sin, his message offered the balm of Gilead to the sin-sick souls of all who desired to be healed.

As Elijah saw Israel going deeper and deeper into idolatry, his soul was distressed and his indignation aroused. God had done great things for His people. He had delivered them from bondage and given them “the lands of the heathen, ... that they might observe His statutes, and keep His laws.” Psalm 105:44, 45. But the beneficent designs of Jehovah were now well-nigh forgotten. Unbelief was fast separating the chosen nation from the Source of their strength. Viewing this apostasy from his mountain retreat, Elijah was overwhelmed with sorrow. In anguish of soul he besought God to arrest the once-favored people in their wicked course, to visit them with judgments, if need be, that they might be led to see in its true light their departure from Heaven. He longed to see them brought to repentance before they should go to such lengths in evil-doing as to provoke the Lord to destroy them utterly.

Elijah's prayer was answered. Oft-repeated appeals, remonstrances, and warnings had failed to bring Israel to repentance. The time had come when God must speak to them by means of judgments. Inasmuch as the worshipers of Baal claimed that the treasures of heaven, the dew and the rain, came not from Jehovah, but from the ruling forces of nature, and that it was through the creative energy of the sun that the earth was enriched and made to bring forth abundantly, the curse of God was to rest heavily upon the polluted land. The apostate tribes of Israel were to be shown the folly of trusting to the power of Baal for temporal blessings. Until they should turn to God with repentance, and acknowledge Him as the source of all blessing, there should fall upon the land neither dew nor rain.

To Elijah was entrusted the mission of delivering to Ahab Heaven's message of judgment. He did not seek to be the Lord's messenger; the word of the Lord came to him. And jealous for the honor of God's cause, he did not hesitate to obey the divine summons, though to obey seemed to invite swift destruction at the hand of the wicked king. The prophet set out at once and traveled night and day until he reached Samaria. At the palace he solicited no admission, nor waited to be formally announced. Clad in the coarse garments usually worn by the prophets of that time, he passed the guards, apparently unnoticed, and stood for a moment before the astonished king.

Elijah made no apology for his abrupt appearance. A Greater than the ruler of Israel had commissioned him to speak; and, lifting his hand toward heaven, he solemnly affirmed by the living God that the judgments of the Most High were about to fall upon Israel. “As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand,” he declared, “there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”

It was only by the exercise of strong faith in the unfailing power of God's word that Elijah delivered his message. Had he not possessed implicit confidence in the One whom he served, he would never have appeared before Ahab. On his way to Samaria, Elijah had passed by ever-flowing streams, hills covered with verdure, and stately forests that seemed beyond the reach of drought. Everything on which the eye rested was clothed with beauty. The prophet might have wondered how the streams that had never ceased their flow could become dry, or how those hills and valleys could be burned with drought. But he gave no place to unbelief. He fully believed that God would humble apostate Israel, and that through judgments they would be brought to repentance. The fiat of Heaven had gone forth; God's word could not fail; and at the peril of his life Elijah fearlessly fulfilled his commission. Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, the message of impending judgment fell upon the ears of the wicked king; but before Ahab could recover from his astonishment, or frame a reply, Elijah disappeared as abruptly as he had come, without waiting to witness the effect of his message. And the Lord went before him, making plain the way. “Turn thee eastward,” the prophet was bidden, “and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee.”

The king made diligent inquiry, but the prophet was not to be found. Queen Jezebel, angered over the message that had locked up the treasures of heaven, lost no time in conferring with the priests of Baal, who united with her in cursing the prophet and in defying the wrath of Jehovah. But notwithstanding their desire to find him who had uttered the word of woe, they were destined to meet with disappointment. Nor could they conceal from others a knowledge of the judgment pronounced in consequence of the prevailing apostasy. Tidings of Elijah's denunciation of the sins of Israel, and of his prophecy of swift-coming punishment, quickly spread throughout the land. The fears of some were aroused, but in general the heavenly message was received with scorn and ridicule.

The prophet's words went into immediate effect. Those who were at first inclined to scoff at the thought of calamity, soon had occasion for serious reflection; for after a few months the earth, unrefreshed by dew or rain, became dry, and vegetation withered. As time passed, streams that had never been known to fail began to decrease, and brooks began to dry up. Yet the people were urged by their leaders to have confidence in the power of Baal and to set aside as idle words the prophecy of Elijah. The priests still insisted that it was through the power of Baal that the showers of rain fell. Fear not the God of Elijah, nor tremble at His word, they urged, it is Baal that brings forth the harvest in its season and provides for man and beast.

God's message to Ahab gave Jezebel and her priests and all the followers of Baal and Ashtoreth opportunity to test the power of their gods, and, if possible, to prove the word of Elijah false. Against the assurances of hundreds of idolatrous priests, the prophecy of Elijah stood alone. If, notwithstanding the prophet's declaration, Baal could still give dew and rain, causing the streams to continue to flow and vegetation to flourish, then let the king of Israel worship him and the people say that he is god.

Determined to keep the people in deception, the priests of Baal continue to offer sacrifices to their gods and to call upon them night and day to refresh the earth. With costly offerings the priests attempt to appease the anger of their gods; with a zeal and a perseverance worthy of a better cause they linger round their pagan altars and pray earnestly for rain. Night after night, throughout the doomed land, their cries and entreaties arise. But no clouds appear in the heavens by day to hide the burning rays of the sun. No dew or rain refreshes the thirsty earth. The word of Jehovah stands unchanged by anything the priests of Baal can do.

A year passes, and yet there is no rain. The earth is parched as if with fire. The scorching heat of the sun destroys what little vegetation has survived. Streams dry up, and lowing herds and bleating flocks wander hither and thither in distress. Once-flourishing fields have become like burning desert sands, a desolate waste. The groves dedicated to idol worship are leafless; the forest trees, gaunt skeletons of nature, afford no shade. The air is dry and suffocating; dust storms blind the eyes and nearly stop the breath. Once-prosperous cities and villages have become places of mourning. Hunger and thirst are telling upon man and beast with fearful mortality. Famine, with all its horror, comes closer and still closer.

Yet notwithstanding these evidences of God's power, Israel repented not, nor learned the lesson that God would have them learn. They did not see that He who created nature controls her laws, and can make of them instruments of blessing or of destruction. Proudhearted, enamored of their false worship, they were unwilling to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, and they began to cast about for some other cause to which to attribute their sufferings.

Jezebel utterly refused to recognize the drought as a judgment from Jehovah. Unyielding in her determination to defy the God of heaven, she, with nearly the whole of Israel, united in denouncing Elijah as the cause of all their misery. Had he not borne testimony against their forms of worship? If only he could be put out of the way, she argued, the anger of their gods would be appeased, and their troubles would end.

Urged on by the queen, Ahab instituted a most diligent search for the hiding place of the prophet. To the surrounding nations, far and near, he sent messengers to seek for the man whom he hated, yet feared; and in his anxiety to make the search as thorough as possible, he required of these kingdoms and nations an oath that they knew nothing of the whereabouts of the prophet. But the search was in vain. The prophet was safe from the malice of the king whose sins had brought upon the land the denunciation of an offended God.

Failing in her efforts against Elijah, Jezebel determined to avenge herself by slaying all the prophets of Jehovah in Israel. Not one should be left alive. The infuriated woman carried out her purpose in the massacre of many of God's servants. Not all, however, perished. Obadiah, the governor of Ahab's house, yet faithful to God, “took an hundred prophets,” and at the risk of his own life, “hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.” 1 Kings 18:4.

The second year of famine passed, and still the pitiless heavens gave no sign of rain. Drought and famine continued their devastation throughout the kingdom. Fathers and mothers, powerless to relieve the sufferings of their children, were forced to see them die. Yet still apostate Israel refused to humble their hearts before God and continued to murmur against the man by whose word these terrible judgments had been brought upon them. They seemed unable to discern in their suffering and distress a call to repentance, a divine interposition to save them from taking the fatal step beyond the boundary of Heaven's forgiveness.

The apostasy of Israel was an evil more dreadful than all the multiplied horrors of famine. God was seeking to free the people from their delusion and lead them to understand their accountability to the One to whom they owed their life and all things. He was trying to help them to recover their lost faith, and He must needs bring upon them great affliction.

“Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.” “Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?” Ezekiel 18:23, 31, 32; 33:11.

God had sent messengers to Israel, with appeals to return to their allegiance. Had they heeded these appeals, had they turned from Baal to the living God, Elijah's message of judgment would never have been given. But the warnings that might have been a savor of life unto life had proved to them a savor of death unto death. Their pride had been wounded, their anger had been aroused against the messengers, and now they regarded with intense hatred the prophet Elijah. If only he should fall into their hands, gladly they would deliver him to Jezebel—as if by silencing his voice they could stay the fulfillment of his words! In the face of calamity they continued to stand firm in their idolatry. Thus they were adding to the guilt that had brought the judgments of Heaven upon the land.

For stricken Israel there was but one remedy—a turning away from the sins that had brought upon them the chastening hand of the Almighty, and a turning to the Lord with full purpose of heart. To them had been given the assurance, “If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people; if My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:13, 14. It was to bring to pass this blessed result that God continued to withhold from them the dew and the rain until a decided reformation should take place.

☆ rey, do you think you're better off for growing up without your family?

Send me ☆ + a question and my muse will haveto answer it truthfully with absolute honesty.status ::: accepting!!!

a discernible frown importunately tugs at morganite lips whilst umber arches are instinctively corrugated. the facial expression patently affixed to her demonstrative countenance is one bespeaking punctilious rumination as opposed to perfunctory contemplation. vociferous longings that have not been smothered by arduous years of unremitting desolation and perdurable austerity efficaciously preclude the expeditious utterance of a laconic answer.

there's an ineffable type of starvation - unable to be palliated by the unpretentious portion bread that she inevitably grew accustomed to ravenously devouring or even the polychromatic comestibles that were felicitously acquired at maz's homely cantina - that has long since nestled itself in her abstruse heart. pertinaciously did it exacerbate the implacable restiveness that mercilessly beleaguered her whenever she fruitlessly pursued tranquil slumber within her tenebrous domain. the conciliating presence of simpatico companions - particularly her enigmatic kinsfolk - has been earnestly craved for so long. along with it, the exceedingly elusive answers that might serve to sufficiently demystify her detrimental abandonment. just to know that she was genuinely appreciated - that her seemingly nugatory existence meant something to someone in this vast galaxy, 'twould have undoubtedly allayed the fathomless melancholia that she prudently endeavored to stifle on a daily basis. this sempiternal athazagoraphobia that she consciously and staunchly contends with would not have been cultivated within her.

however, 'twould be a deliberate act of transparent perfidy to claim that consummate solitude was not bittersweet. redoubtable fortitude, unfettered autonomy, temerarious pugnacity, and even her melee proficiency are not things that her faceless progenitors could have bestowed unto her - regardless of their beneficence. in its entirety, her recent venture - altruistically escorting a gregarious droid to the renowned RESISTANCE - was made possible by those indispensable constituents of her identity. had she not been on the sweltering planet called JAKKU, the congenial compeers she's serendipitously come to know would ne'er have entered her life.

feminine features inconspicuously soften as she begins to meticulously construct a veracious and compendious response. viridescent optics precipitously become poignant as she fights to prevent the precipitate formation of pellucid droplets at their angular corners from betiding. this particular topic is not one that she favours as it is much too delicate - much too intimate. though she's repeatedly essayed to extinguish it, the taxing sentiments - acute dolor being the most predominant of them - that have been conceived by her family's perceivable absence inconveniently tarry.

❝ i don't know. in some ways, i think i AM. i know how to take care of myself. had i been CODDLED, that wouldn't be true. i'm glad i wasn't.

in other ways,.......i think their absence RUINED me. because of what happened, i get attached to people too quickly and i end up worrying about them LEAVING ME. if my own family could do it, everyone else definitely could. it feels like i'm always doubting my worth.

but nothing is perfect. any other life still would have had its problems. ❞

#mcmachine #█ ▌┊☯❦┌ (( galacтιc alιce )) ┐❦☯ (( REY ))#(( &HEADCANONS. ))#{ thank you very much for sending this! ^.^ }#{ told myself i'd keep it short but ended up making it long. >.< }#{ i had a hard time writing this because wow her suffering runs deep. }#{ a n s w e r e d. }

Salaam, what does it mean to be deoband? are you deoband?

W.salaam.

Let me repost a few random posts here from my previous posts on Tumblr;

1. Religiously, the Ulama of Deoband are Muslim; as a sect, they belong to the Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah; by math-hab (school of law), they are Hanafi; in mashrab (conduct), they are Sufi; in creed (kalaam), they are Maaturidi; in Suluk (spiritual discipline), they are Chisti – in fact, they combine all the sufi orders*; in fikr (intellectual inclination) they are Waliullahi; in Usool (principle), they are Qasimi; in furoo’ (secondary matters), they are Rasheedi and in nisbat (connection), they are Deobandi.

Hadhrat Maulana Qari Muhammad Tayyab sahib’s (ra) Maslak Ulama-e-Deoband (The Way/Ideology of the ‘Ulama of Deoband)

*chishti, naqshbandi, qadri, suharwardi. (my own footnote)

Our conviction over the ‘Ulama of Deoband

“Friends! We are proud to say – and this conviction is as strong as the daily rising sun – that the group which is truly the Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah and staunchly on the truth us this group of the ‘Ulama of Deoband. We do not harbor a shadow of doubt and we are more convinced than the daily rising sun that in these times this group of ‘Ulama of Deoband are the true heirs of the Prophets. And this is the truthful group who, in accordance to the actual Sunnah of Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم), confronted the various forces of falsehood.When the English appeared, they confronted them and when upon their back, their offspring, the Qadiyanis came, the ‘Ulama challenged them as well. Whether they appeared in the form of the Parwezis or in the form of the opponents of the Sahabah (Radiallahu ‘Anhum), the ‘Ulama of Deoband challenged them all. Under whichever false guise falsehood appeared, the ‘Ulama of Deoband always raised the banner of the truth in the face of it. This is what Shorish-Kashmiri referred to when he said:“There is no doubt that the presence of Deoband over India is the favour of Mustafa.May the mercy of the Almighty continue to shower upon it until resurrection, (the institute) which was founded by the ones guided by Mustafa.The spirit of this Madrassah’s honor has naturally reached all and sundry out of the beneficence of Mustafa.The name of Nanotwi will echo through all the four corners of the globe as he is the one who has distributed the (spiritual) wine from the divine recognition of Mustafa.””

From the book ‘Ulama of Deoband by Maulana Diyaur-Rahmaan Faruqi Shahid

“The great madrasah of Deoband is [like] a radiant sun that has illuminated various parts of India. It revived the Prophetic way (sunnah) academically, practically and in terms of suluk, and it removed the darkness of innovation (bid’ah), which had amassed in those lands for a lengthy time. It stripped the pools of knowledge and shari’ah from all that was alien to them in the same way that it stripped the suluk of the Sufis from new customs — such as sama’ and stringed instruments and their like from the gatherings of bid’ ah that were prevalent in India in those days. It replaced those innovations with clear and radiant sunnah — in terms of teaching and studying, suluk and propagation — until it (the madrasah) became a powerful, great and authentic source of light from which came droves of god-fearing (rabbaniyyin) ulama, who combined the excellence of knowledge and action (’amal), while adhering to the sunnah and eliminating bid’ah.” - (The Renowned Hadith Scholar of the Last Century, ‘Allamah Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah on Dar al-’Ulum Deoband)

These are our fathers, bring forth the like of them,When you enumerate them all, O counter of destinies,Such are they that the remembrance of Allah is refreshed on seeing them,These are the heirs of the prophets,The shadow of Allah’s mercy,These are they whose sleep is more virtuousthan the worship of others,Such are they - The pride of Musalmans,Theirs is the task of custodians of the Deen,In this world they resided yet devoid of worldly ties,In it’s oceans have they been submerged yet no wetness touched their clothes,When in solitude they were seated the pleasure ofjoyful communication they feel,And when in company of others,it’s for solitude they pine.

A poem on our akaabirs, Deobandi Ullema from Aap Beeti - autobiography of Maulana Zakariyya Khandalwi (rahimahullah)

The Deobandi school of thought

The Deobandi school of thought consists of 5 things:1. To instil the special burning love of Allah Ta’ala in the heart.2. To refrain from all customs and practices of shirk (attributing partners to Allah Ta’ala) and to believe purely in His oneness.3. The love of Hadhrat Nabi-e-Kareem (S.A.W.S) has to overshadow the love of every creation.4. Every facet of one’s life has to be in accordance with the Sunnah of Hadhrat Nabi-e-Kareem (S.A.W.S).5. To be committed to the propagation of Deen.

The Deoband Ulama and their Love for Rasulullah (S.A.W.S) - From the teachings and advices of Faqeehul Ummat, Hadhrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi (RA)

What thing is the Deobandi, a creed or a sect?” replied, “It’s neither a creed nor a sect; Deobandi is the name of every rationalist religious man.

Allamah Iqbal, the great Poet of the East

JUST A FEW HERE.

Yes, I associate myself with the Deobandi school of thought.

Apologies if I failed to answer your Q.

In completion of 2017.

Dec 19, 2017

dreamt being friend of an English noble family, or Japanese host, ie their 2 boys and only daughter. first the boys showed me their real estate, and traditional kid practices around & in trench of their castle, which so beautiful, with yard and fence, and harvesting field with peasants nearby. I commented British buildings usually round shape while Chinese commodity residential block usually in slice alike. they also showed me their parties. then their only sister returned. the girl likely an artist, she put on me new shirt & introduced me to her party. when I prepared to performance and jumping from 2nd floor balcony to hall ground over awaiting crowd, my alarm woke me up. it's a warm dream, without pressure, esp the daughter cares me so much. this week still in wilder joys aid by alipay virtual credit. I try to prepare an installment with the credit, so I in urgency to spend near ￥1500 so as to mount to 2000 CNY installment. spending upon year end gifts really a breeze.

I first puzzled by his refusal, blamed him shy to publicity. then I saw his attitude & reason behind. so in Sunday luncheon, I explained why I didn't put him as independent but a kid. we more or less reunited & the downtown hotel restaurant lunch is delicious. after showered & returned to his mom's house, I let him watch "Rick & Morty" while I massaged his feet. his sinful mom tentatively arranged her lesbian friend's son came over for her english tuition, then my son looked diligently to play steam game with the docile kid while his mom, also the cheating kid, posed to be too busy and left my son unfinished amid game playing. its all right God, dad, just let the bitch does her utmost sins trying tearing my son apart between beast & holy, hership vs fathership.

dreamt editing video as my old career in QRRS cable TV. a piece of video abnormal & frequently freezed. I reported to leader that its likely encrypted. my once departmental leader, likely framed me and side watched for my clueless while playing Mahjong with his pals in the studio. but I checked carefully to assure its not damaged but encrypted, then gradually decrypted the video. after that I posted my resignation notice for the unfriend environment in which the boss conjected with departmental leader setup me in. last night I felt sad for our new registrar, dynadot, so irresponsible to fix its problematic dns setting rule. it domain root record defies matched field, say title and value, but just arbitrary single value. while zoho mail hosting SPF and let's encrypt ssl dns verification both need title "@" matching txt value field, otherwise the only txt value wouldn't be recognized, and verification halt to proceed. such a simple malfunction defied many users' operational inc mine, and caused many complains in its user community. but after near 3 months after my transferation from godaddy, I yet saw fix at all. the boss of the company shows his leisure time with his pet dog in his pool on social media. this reminds me their less concerns with their product on which I deeply hope I can firmly cling to, after departed from godaddy which more intelligent and powerful esp dns setting, just in one shortcoming, too expensive & bargain needed in renewal. I hope our new registrar, dynadot, responsible, steady, but new found let the assumption shakeable. God dad, why domain registry so thin in scale of intellectual property, why is it so easy to be a domain registrar with such a problematic product while remains open service? it shakes my faith in American corporate moral, and traditional Chinese, esp from Taiwan, as dynadot founder is a Taiwanese, more equipped with merit of hard working and emotional smarter. On Tuesday our ordered ssd from taobao arrived. but last mile express, contractor Yuantong express failed to deliver. I buzzed the agent according sms noticement and the man claimed he no longer in the job for days. so I visited local office of the contractor a bus stop away. the small office jammed with parcels. 2 women there helped me find my package after a quarter's scrutiny. Yuantong once had a wonderful service, speedy & well organized, but now seemingly in deconstruction. for its too earlier to fetch my son from his school, I lingered awhile in KFC local franchise, now under PRC native brand. there I found my alipay virtual credit, 花呗, resumes my limit from freeze. I paid a KFC groupon via the payment tool in a blink. that's so exciting even before I went to bed hours later, I still felt shocking satisfaction. I need credit so badly. in next days I wondered what credit is and how it can facilitate my life, I took granted that it only encourages installment. so this month I will equip my son & my own 3 items, woz's new boot, google home mini, and my tea, all in one installment and hopeful year end bonus will pay the bill eventually. God, dad, enlive quality service in American Chinese startup, esp established corporations like dynadot. bring me fruitful usage of credit. bring me my Royal China, my Crown Queen Asoh Yukiko for better management of monetary. grant me constructive credit adoption, and booming business my online portal empowers.

retrospect last week, it elapsed so peaceful. but in fact I burning for the coming salary which turned out extraordinarily surprising. previously I thought the year end most financially demanding tasks completed with 2 loans from my old hometown relatives, ie my sisters & brother. but suddenly my vpn service informed me renewal due in couple days, exactly Nov 22. while recently my salary released usually on 19th monthly. so I took it easily. from 19th, Sunday, I looked out hopefully descending of salary till 22rd, Wednesday. everyday I prayed for solution. it was a sunny noon on 22rd Nov, 2017, I gave up canteen lunch and hope my last salvage. but it didn't. then I sought out with blessing resolution for dorm canteen's loan. they didn't refuse my appeal, offer ￥1000 at once. with it I immediately deposited in my icbc credit account. CCP surveillance blocked my trading attempts for a quarter, then went smoothly. my paypal strangely refused my payment, claiming verification failure. so I ditched it and paid via alipay, a mainstream electronic financial tool in PRC. my vpn vendor listed under its transaction log in alipay. might be that's what PRC surveillance demands in defying of my paypal which done last year perfectly. then most wanted salary release notification sms arrived: with year end bonus, I got 4420 CNY. I had previously doubted many times my budget & salary supporting gap, and thought I will save my purchase from returning less to bank credit, which already warned me insufficient pay back & possible sue over me. the main coming bill is my son's desktop os, ubuntu on a ssd usb drive, and gift sending to my nephew whose first child, a daughter just born. I had already refrained from gifting his wedding ceremony nearly year ago. so this time my congratulation really due to manifest. they both costs ￥300. with the powerful salary, I maintained last month pay back standard, 500 CNY each for ccb & psbc credit debt, while clear all my due liability among bills active in life, except debt to canteen loan adds more hundreds. but in the afternoon, when I handed over ￥1700 including 200 to pay a woman staff there for my laundry, the canteen operative woman and her husband accepted without complains. God, dad, what a wonderful moment after so many neck breaking anticipation! in the night I informed my son online the clearance of bills and claimed only left unfinished is donation annually to poor kids in China mountainous area, and bbn bible radio. but now, I want more: equipping my son woz a pair of new winter shoes to replace his wrecked one, and my tea deficit for months. my son's programming lesson arranged by his mom stepping in, my preparing his desktop environment is portable os on ssd udisk hopefully running on hardware of his old dell notebook and intel nuc in his lounge. dad God, let my son adopt my suggestion, first step to master typing via training tools from chrome store on his chromebook. grant me helpful and his prompt execution for remaining aid from powerful google & online courseware.

How Blogger Louise Roe Saved Thousands (!) on Her Dining Room Table

New Post has been published on https://mediafocus.biz/how-blogger-louise-roe-saved-thousands-on-her-dining-room-table/

How Blogger Louise Roe Saved Thousands (!) on Her Dining Room Table

When Louise Roe went looking for a dining room desk final yr, she began wherein quite a few us do—through noting what she favored greatly about the options she ought to locate, cobbling them into an ideal (but nonexistent) table layout in her head. “I had the photograph in my mind of the table I wanted,” the news-editor-turned-fashion blogger says, “having ripped out pages from AD, screenshotted bloggers and Pinterest images.” There might be sparkling, cubist brass legs and a big rectangular pinnacle. It might seat lots of buddies. “Milo Baughman become a huge effect,” Roe says, pointing to this rare bronze and smoked glass layout circa 1970—however a $10,000 desk wasn’t in her breakfast corner budget. They had been renovating, in the end. An RH Modern version with a polished marble turned into closer to finances but still too much. She resolved to overcome the gadget with the aid of sourcing the parts herself. A buddy recommended that Roe scours the internet for desk legs, and he or she discovered an appropriate pair—today’s—with a Florida provider on eBay for $1,500, including transport. As thrilling because the discovery turned into, it changed into nevertheless nerve-wracking, she remembers. “At about 1 a.M., after scrolling for hours, I hit ‘pay now’ and screamed!” Conveniently, Roe changed into inside the middle of a bathroom protection (this became her Melrose Place townhouse that she finally offered to move into this 1935 Hollywood Hills gem) while she undertook the assignment, so she already had a Caesarstone dealer on pace dial; he would supply her a custom-reduce tabletop slab for $600 (it would have been approximate $1,000 as a one-off order). Which delivered the general fee to simply over $2,000, a fragment of the antique that had inspired her search inside the first region. Being quartz, the Caesarstone floor did not need to be sealed or dealt with in any respect—dinner is served!—as “it is already nonporous and water resistant,” Roe explains. And whilst it is viable to watch sufficient YouTube motion pictures to learn how to successfully connect the parts your self, calling in a professional is in no way a bad idea whilst you’re working with costly, new-to-you substances. “Personally, I’d continually get an expert to try this (I recognize my limits!),” she says, which made for a great creation. They loved the desk so much, and it held up so well, that it made the move.

Listening to the Surgeon General, by Nicole Kim

On November 28th, 2016, then Surgeon General and Harvard College alumnus Vivek Murthy took center stage at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy Forum of the Institute of Politics. Moderated in a discussion by renowned Harvard health economics professor Amitabh Chandra, Murthy addressed the many issues currently facing American health, including the opioid crisis, gun violence, as well as the harmful stigma that surrounds them. About halfway through his talk, he gave advice for college students, especially those pursuing a career in medicine, in searching for solutions to these issues. He warned, “science can’t explain everything,” for a crucial aspect of understanding a problem is rooted in the artistic way through which people express themselves. “Storytelling in medicine often gets sidelined to science.”

What is narrative medicine? In fact, it is the very “sidelining” to science Murthy articulated, the artistic expression necessary for the creation of health solutions in present day. It is a novel medical approach that specifically recognizes the value of people’s narratives in the diagnosis, research, and treatment of illness, a holistic strategy accounting for the relational and psychological features inherent in physical disease. By treating the patient as an individual entity rather than a collection of isolated symptoms, narrative medicine aims to encourage creativity and self-reflection in the physician.

As a freshman in college, taking introductory math and science courses, the idea of narrative medicine was quite intriguing. A pre-medical student myself, I felt fairly knowledgeable about medical narratives and novels, having read the best-selling works of Oliver Sacks, Atul Gawande, and other physician-authors throughout high school. However, as Murthy succinctly stated, solutions to the health issues of our time cannot be solved with purely scientific methods, an idea that heavily influenced my taking of social science and humanities focused classes, such as medical ethics and sociology. It is the recognition of this fact, the necessary consideration of unquantifiable factors often less apparent, that drives a holistic education despite the inherently technical and quantitative nature of medicine.

Narrative medicine is being pioneered by individuals like Rita Charon, executive director of the Program in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center. With both an M.D. and professorship in clinical medicine as well as a Ph.D. in English, she defines herself as one who came to medicine as a “lifelong reader” [1]. However, she realized she did not know much about stories as a doctor early in her career, and instead went to the Columbia University English department to ask, “Could you teach a doctor about stories and how they work?” The department joined her in the idea that specialized, narratological knowledge could do some good in the world, particular in the field of medicine. Charon defines narrative medicine as simply “clinical practice fortified by the knowledge of what to do with stories.” It is not just having a sense of story, but rather also being able to recognize when someone is telling you a story, and being able to receive all of it, especially details left unsaid. What then matters is how one interprets, honors, and is moved to action by these elements.

Through her novel and TEDx Talk, both entitled “Narrative Medicine: Honoring the Stories of Illness,” Charon has recounted examples in which narrative medicine has changed the way she conducts clinical medicine. For example, most doctors usually acquaint themselves with new patients by asking a seemingly infinite list of symptom-related questions: what hurts, where it hurts, to what extent does it hurt? Instead, Charon begins by stating to patients: “I will be your doctor, and so I need to know a great deal about your health, your body, and your life. Please tell me what I need to know about your situation.” Simply sitting and absorbing what is said, without the distraction of typing or note-taking, she realized that what patients yearned for most was an audience, someone to eager to listen to the detailed and profound accounts of themselves they were equally eager to give. Some patients were perplexed when given the opportunity to speak, while others broke down in tears with gratitude.

The novel approach of narrative medicine is considerably relevant, for there exist many effective, yet economical ways to teach the skills needed to enhance the clinical experience to all types of health care professionals. These techniques are at most a basic understanding of reading, writing, storytelling, and listening, skills often overlooked by medical schools and other sources of preparation for careers in health. Once this knowledge is disbursed, all that is left is the effort and unrelenting determination of the physician, nurse, or other to practically implement changes that will positively impact their patients, and hopefully improve their outcomes as well.

What are the most pressing issues facing health care systems today, and how do we reform them? This is the million dollar question, something that academics, experts, and Congress having been trying to address for decades. Many blame the rising cost of care, rooted in an uncontrollable, hasty proliferation of medical technology over time. However, as shown by the many ineffective proposed solutions of present day, meaningful change cannot be incurred by means as scientifically based as the technologies that created the problem.

For instance, patient safety standards have seen improvements as a result of methods specifically catered to individual patient interests and characteristics. Peter Pronovost of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine spearheads CUSP (Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program) and TRIP (Translating Evidence Into Practice), programs that address doctor-nurse culture and norms to maximize efficiency while minimizing harm [2]. The success of Pronovost’s efforts are evidence of the importance of the intricate interpersonal relationships that form the basis of administrative efficiency in day to day care. Instead of attacking the problem with complex, costly technology, Pronovost used the knowledge of such a toxic health professional hierarchy, and used additional knowledge and research of how to break down this hierarchy to formulate a solution. This is narrative medicine.

Narrative medicine has distinctive implications in the field of cancer, an area characterized by a wide range of symptoms, courses of illness, and often variability and volatility in regard to recovery and success of treatment. The multifaceted nature of cancer parallels its equally nonspecific definition, “an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.” Man’s knowledge of the disease is likewise considerably limited. Solutions are almost invariably specific, so what steps does one take in order to tackle a broad problem? Rather, it becomes necessary to utilize patient stories to individualize treatment and uncover the subtle nuances that could ultimately determine a patient’s fate. As medicine has increasingly seen in recent years, specialized therapies tend to engender success over general ones.

In her TEDx Talk, Charon champions the idea that “illness exposes,” that in the presence of disease, there is little to nothing either physically or psychologically separating doctor and patient. In a time of a patient’s extreme vulnerability, narrative medicine can help make this special connection endure by revealing the deepest, most profound truths, creating a lasting relationship effectual in all aspects of life. It can allow patients to come to terms with death and dying, as physicians can urge them to see death not as a failure of modern medicine, but rather as an external, inevitable outcome we as humans must ultimately accept. A novel entitled Being Mortal by physician-author Atul Gawande speaks of this psychological complexity and its implications in end-of-life care [3]. He stresses that the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life all the way to the very end, that palliative care and the medicalization of aging, frailty, and death can unnecessarily prolong life. Through the new framework of meaning of narrative medicine, we can hopefully avoid these types of situations.

Surgeon General Murthy ended his talk at the Institute of Politics with some valuable insight. Rather paradoxically, he said, in an increasingly connected and networked world, we as individuals are becoming ever more divided and compartmentalized. By recognizing the essence of the aggregate, it is possible to bridge inherent variance and dissimilarity to form a comprehensive whole. Narrative medicine allows us to do just that, in the extremely impactful context of great potential: the beneficence of saving and significantly prolonging life.

Some period passed in peace, but when the population increased and the people spread here and there, then every person began to do according to own will. From them; there was a group of people which was called the tribe of ‘Aad. Their refractoriness increased more than enough. There people were very healthy, strong, stout and active. Their Country was fertile, so there was no deficiency of wealth. Ultimately they also were involved in evil deeds being proud, which destroy the mankind. After that, when the oppression of the oppressors increased very much on the oppressed people, they gave up doing useful works and began to do useless works for the sake of fame and renown, then Allaah Almighty appointed Huud (peace be upon him) as His Prophet and sent towards them because he belonged to the same folk (of ‘Aad). At first, he (peace be upon him) conveyed the same Message which is delivered by all Prophets (peace be upon them) usually, that is to say: Keep your duty to Allaah Almighty, I am His trustworthy Messenger and say only that to you which is better for you. So you should obey me. I do not demand wage, wealth or property from you. But I cause to understand you only by the Command of Allaah Almighty.

(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast) Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful) رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْ��ِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 83 وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 84 وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 85 وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ 86 وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ 87 يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ 88 إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ 89 83. My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous – 84. And give me a true renown among the later generation – 85. And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight– 86. And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err – 87. And abase me not on the Day when they are raised, 88. The Day when wealth and sons avail not (any man) – 89. Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart. 83. Rabbi hab lii hukmanw-wa ‘alhiqnii bis-Saalihiin. 84. Waj-‘al-lii lisaana sidqin- fil-‘aakhiriin. 85. Waj-‘alnii minw-warasati Jannatin- Na-‘iim. 86. Wagfir-li-‘abiii ‘innahuu kaana minaz-zaaalliin. 87. Wa laa tukhzinii Yawma yub-‘asuun. 88. Yawma laa yanfa-‘u maa-lunw-wa laa banuun. 89. ‘Illaa man ‘atAllaaha bi-qalbin-saliim. Commentary Lisaana sidqin – (a true renown), lisaan means “tongue” but here it aims “those matters which come out by the tongue”. Sidqin means “the truth, good”. Lisaana sidqin means “nice mention, true recitation”. Saliim – (safe and sound from every evil), it is an adjective from the word salama. From the same, the word salaam has been derived which means “safety, compliments, peace”. Qalbin-saliim means “such heart which has been saved from badness, evil thoughts, polytheism and infidelity”. At first, Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) caused to know them the Epithets of Allaah Almighty, on account of which, He deserves to be Worshipped of mankind. And then; way of His worship was explained before them. Actual worship is the name of the prayer, though that is in any form. Therefore, Abraham (peace be upon him) prays in the Court of Allaah Almighty: My Lord! Grant me wisdom so that I may know You and follow Your Commandment after understanding, and make me well-known among the later generation; that the people say me righteous and follow my way. My Lord! Make me the deserving and the inheritor of the Garden of Delight. Forgive my father and turn him towards the right path, who has gone astray. Abase me not on the Day when the entire mankind will be raised again and when wealth and sons of any person will not be useful for them. However, those people will be successful who will bring unto Allaah Almighty such heart which would be pure from badness, evil thoughts, polytheism and infidelity.

(via The people who are meek in temperament) Quran Chapter 12 – 53 (Pt-13, Stg-3) (L-1513) – درس قرآنThe people who are meek in temperamentSurah Yuusuf (Joseph) – 12‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. (I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim. (In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.) وَمَآ أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِىٓ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ (5353. And I do not exculpate myself. Lo! The (man’s) self enjoineth unto evil, save that whereon my Lord hath mercy. Lo! My Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.53. WA MAAA ‘UBARRI-‘U NAFSII. ‘Innan-nafsa la-‘am-maaratum- bis-suuu-‘i ‘illaa maa rahima Rabbii. ‘Inna Rabbii Gafuurur-Rahiim. Commentary‘UBARRI-‘U – (I exculpate), this word is from tabri-‘atun, origin of which is bar-‘un. Bar-‘un means goodness and good health. Tabri-‘atun means “to clear from charge of fault or crime, to admit that the accused is faultless”.‘Am-maaratun – (such stubborn, who enjoins unto evil), it is from the word ‘amar. ‘Amar means “Command”.Chosen servants of God Almighty are not proud of being pious, but they consider that piety is by the Divine guidance. If they are saved from evil deeds, they do not give themselves airs that they are good, so they are superior to others.It is known from the sayings of grand people: If someone glories in doing good works and after performing, he wishes that the people should respect him due to his good works and consider that he is a great and of good disposition, then his all virtues are wasted. It has been admitted in the Principles of the Religion that ostentation, wish of renown, hope of praise and behaving with boastfulness – eat up the good deed as the fire reduces the firewood to ashes.Particular servants of Allah Almighty do neither see any reason of their praise in it that they are abstinent and nor they demand their superiority over others due to any such reason.Joseph (peace be upon him) said: I do not exculpate myself. It was mercy and kindness of Allah Almighty upon me that I was saved from the great sin, otherwise inordinate appetite would have drowned me. Allah Almighty keeps sight of forgiveness and mercy upon His servants who are meek in temperament.Transliterated Holy Qur’an in Roman Script & Translated from Arabic to English by Marmaduke Pickthall, Published by Paak Company, 17-Urdu Bazaar, Lahore, Lesson collected from Dars e Qur’aan published By Idara Islaah wa Tableegh, Lahore (translated Urdu to English by Muhammad Sharif).https://youtu.be/eTwBiCks-yIhttps://hcaptrmuhammadsharif.wordpress.com/2017/06/19/the-people-who-are-meek-in-temperament/
