Check out the newest colors from CR84FN!!!

I just adore these colors! The bright pink is sooo pretty - it's become one of my favorite colors. I used to be a earth-tone kinda gal (and still am) but pink has begun to dominate my color palette.

For my card, I chose some graphic stripes. Then I used this beautiful daisy (made with dies from Papertrey Ink) to soften the stripes.

Hope you'll swing by the CR84FN blog to check out the fantastic samples by the talented DT!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

DMCC is the Government of Dubai Authority dedicated to establishing Dubai as a global gateway for commodity trade. We enable our members to succeed through continuous innovation and delivery.

Jumeirah Lakes Towers Free Zone

JLT Free Zone is one of the largest free zone developments in Dubai. The 200-hectare mixed-use free zone, comprises both freehold and leasing options. The development is grouped into clusters each comprising three tower blocks around four large lakes which are filled with sea water pumped from the Gulf.

The JLT Free Zone is situated in the heart of new Dubai and only 45 minutes away from Abu Dhabi. Located in Dubai’s logistics Corridor and on the main arterial Sheikh Zayed Road, it is also served by two Metro stations; JLT Free Zone and Dubai Marina. Both Dubai International Airport and the New Maktoum International Airport can be reached within 30 minutes.[1]

The JLT Free Zone fulfills DMCC’s mandate to increase the flow of trade and around the Emirate by providing the physical infrastructure for businesses covering a wide range of commercial activities. It has been designed as a free zone, freehold community and offers all related services to its growing population.

As of March 2013, 65 towers were fully operational. The development currently encompass approximately 180,000 sq/m of commercial, residential and retail space. There are currently over 65,000 people living and working in JLT Free Zone.[2]

JLT Free Zone Services

JLT Free Zone is one of the fastest growing free zones in the UAE.[3] It is seeing strong demand from companies and registered a record 2,033 companies in 2012; a rise of 50% over 2011.[4] In the first half of 2013, DMCC registered 1,270 new member companies, 30% more than the same period the previous year.[5] DMCC has made significant changes to the process for registration and licensing including a simplified e-application process, availability of longer-term licenses and improved client relationship management.

Commodity Services

DMCC is the only international commodity centre in the region. It supports commodity trading across certain commodity groups through purpose-built infrastructure including the Diamond and Pearl Exchanges, innovative products and value-added services such as DMCC Tradeflow and the Dubai Good Delivery Standard for Gold.

The four main commodity groups are:

Gold: historically, Dubai has played a significant role in the global gold market and is now a bullion centre of international significance. DMCC has integrated the refining, manufacturing and trading of gold and precious metals through a variety of products and services in Dubai. These include the Dubai Good Delivery, DMCC Vault, the Visions of Dubai commemorative gold coin, the UAE gold bullion coins and Dubai Gold Advisory Group.[6][7]

Diamonds: the Dubai Diamond Exchange(DDE) was established in 2004 to facilitate the development of the diamond and colored gems market, to establish logistical efficiencies and provide a secure trading environment. DDE allows manufacturers, traders, and other key entities in the diamond value chain to effectively operate from a transparent, secure and sophisticated platform. During 2010, the volume of diamonds traded reached a record 286.7 million carats, up 50 per cent on 2009.[5] In November 2011, the DDE reported a record total trading of 206.1 million carats in first half 2011 in Dubai, a 35% increase on the 131 million carats traded in H1 2010; with values increasing to $25.3 billion from $16.3 billion.[8]

Pearls: the Dubai Pearl Exchange (DPE) provides facilities for traders in pearls; and services include sales rooms, customs duty facilitation, gem analysis centre, vaults, market information and dedicated events like the World Pearl Forum. Early 2011, DPE held the first pearl auctions outside of the Far East.[9]

Tea: the Dubai Tea Trading Centre (DTTC) is a 24,000 sq/m facility located close to the Dubai Ports (JAFZA). It offers a business centre, temperature controlled storage, blending solutions, packaging, professional advisory and tea tasting services for international tea producers and buyers.[10]

Financial Services

DMCC offers investors sophisticated financial products and has formed various strategic joint ventures to achieve this. These include: Dubai Commodity Asset Management (DCAM): Established to develop and seed commodity-linked investment products for distribution in the UAE and other markets.

Dubai Shariah Asset Management (DSAM): A joint venture between DCAM and Shariah Capital Inc. (‘Shariah Capital’), a US-based Shariah-compliant financial adviser and consultant. The DSAM Kauthar Commodity Fund comprises four single strategy commodity–based funds that invest exclusively in Shariah-compliant long/short equity hedge funds. The four strategies are: The DSAM Kauthar Gold Fund; the DSAM Kauthar Energy Fund; the DSAM Kauthar Natural Resources Fund and; the DSAM Kauthar Global Resources & Mining Fund.

DMCC Tradeflow: An electronic system that brings together all parties involved in inventory based financing. Through the platform, owners of goods stored in rated warehouses in the UAE can request warehouse keepers to issue “Tradeflow Warrants” which represent the ownership of their goods. These warrants can be used by the owners to pledge beneficial ownership or transfer title of the stored goods to financiers as collateral in return for working capital.[11]

DMCC also offers the Dubai Gold Securities product. This provides investors with secure, low-cost access to owning gold bullion without the additional costs normally associated with insuring, storing and transacting in physical gold.

The Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX), a DMCC joint venture initiative set up in November 2005, is a major commodity and currency derivatives exchange in the Middle East, with electronic trading accessible from anywhere in the world. It has adopted the DGR system for effecting the physical settlements of gold and silver against a futures contract position.

JLT Property Services

Almas Tower, the headquarters of DMCC Free Zone, was completed in mid-2008 and is the tallest commercial tower in the Middle East with 63 floors. Almas Tower was purpose-built to support commodities trade. It houses DMCC’s corporate offices, the Dubai Diamond Exchange, Jumeirah Lakes Towers Free Zone and Dubai Pearl Exchange in addition to gold and diamond vaults and the Almas Conference Centre.

In July 2013, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, the Executive Chairman of DMCC, announced plans to construct the tallest commercial tower in the world as part of its expansion plans. Currently in the concept design phase, the DMCC Business Park and the world's tallest commercial tower will cater to large corporations and multinationals that require significant floor space to buy or rent. The business park will comprise 107,000 square metres of premium commercial and retail space.

In November 2010, DMCC launched a Commercial Sales and Leasing Consultancy as well as a website ( dedicated to assisting customers find freehold or leasehold commercial and retail space within JLT Free Zone. The new online portal, which is the UAE's first Free Zone online commercial property portal, provides existing and potential member companies a fast and convenient way to find the most suitable space for their businesses. The DMCC Commercial Property Sales and Leasing division is also available to provide further help by offering property consultancy services to both sub-developers and to individual clients and investors, offering them advice on the wide choice of available property to lease or buy in JLT Free Zone.[12][13]

Shahabuddin Muhammad Shah Jahan, Shah Jahan (شاه جهان, शाह जहाँ; 5 January 1592 – 22 January 1666) was the fifth Mughal Emperor of India. He is also known as Shah Jahan I. He ruled from 1628 until 1658. Born Prince Khurram, he was the son of Emperor Jahangir and his Hindu Rajput wife, Taj Bibi Bilqis Makani (13 May 1573 – 18 April

He was chosen as successor to the throne after the death of his father in 1627. He was considered one of the greatest Mughals. His rule has been called the Golden Age and one of the most prosperous ages of Indian civilization. Like Akbar, he was eager to expand his vast empire. In 1658, he fell ill and was confined by his son and successor Aurangzeb in Agra Fort until his death in 1666.

Shah Jahan was a more orthodox Muslim than his father and grandfather. His policies towards non-Muslims were less liberal than Jahangir and Akbar.

The period of his reign was considered the golden age of Mughal architecture. Shah Jahan erected many monuments, the most famous of which is the Taj Mahal at Agra, built in 1632–1654 as a tomb for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Early life

Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, hunting lions at Burhanpur.

Born on 5 January 1592, Shah ab-ud-din Muhammad Khurram which was Shah Jahan's birth name, was the third son born to Emperor Jahangir, his mother was a Rajput princess from Marwar called Princess Manmati – her official name in Mughal chronicles being Bilquis Makani. The name "Khurram" was chosen for the young prince by his grandfather, Emperor Akbar, with whom the young prince shared a close relationship.

Just prior to Khurram’s birth, a soothsayer had reportedly predicted to childless Empress Ruqaiya Sultan Begum, Akbar's first wife, that the still unborn child was destined for imperial greatness.[2] So, when Khurram was born in 1592 and was only six days old, Akbar ordered that the prince be taken away from his mother and handed him over to Ruqaiya so that he could grow up under her care and Akbar could fulfill his aging wife's wish, to raise a Mughal emperor.[2][3] Ruqaiya assumed the primary responsibility for Khurram's upbringing and he grew up under her care.[4] Her step-son, Jahangir, noted that Ruqaiya loved Khurram "a thousand times more than if he had been her own son."[3]

Khurram remained with her,[3] until he had turned 13. After the death of Akbar, the young prince was, finally, allowed to return to his father's household, and thus, be closer to his biological mother.[2]

As a child, Prince Khurram received a broad education befitting his status as a Mughal prince, which included martial training and exposure to a wide variety of cultural arts, such as poetry and music, most of which was inculcated, according to court chroniclers, under the watchful gaze of his grandfather and his step-grandmother, Empress Ruqaiya. In 1605, as the Emperor Akbar lay on his deathbed, Prince Khurram, who at this point was 13,[5] remained by his bedside and refused to move even after his mother tried to retrieve him. Given the politically uncertain times immediately preceding Akbar's death, Prince Khurram was in a fair amount of physical danger of harm by political opponents of his father and his conduct at this time can be understood to be a precursor of the bravery that he would later be known for.

In 1605, his father succeeded to the throne, after crushing a rebellion by Prince Khausrau – Prince Khurram remained distant from the court politics and intrigues in the immediate aftermath of that event, which was apparently a conscious decision on Jahangir's part.[6] As the third son, Prince Khurram did not challenge the two major power blocs of the time, his father's and his step-brother's; thus he enjoyed the benefits of Imperial protection and luxury, while being allowed to continue with his education and training.[7] This relatively quiet and stable period of his life allowed Prince Khurram to build his own support base in the Mughal court, which would be useful later on in his life.

Due to the long period of tensions between his father and step-brother, Prince Khurram began to drift closer to his father and over time started to be considered the de facto heir apparent by court chroniclers. This status was given official sanction when Jahangir granted the jagir of Hissar-Feroza, which had traditionally been the fief of the heir apparent, to Prince Khurram in 1607.[8]

Mumtaz Mahal

In 1608, Prince Khurram was engaged to Arjumand Banu Begum – when they were 15 and 14 years old, respectively. The young girl belonged to an illustrious Persian noble family which had been serving Mughal Emperors since the reign of Akbar, the family's patriarch was Itimad-ud-Daulah, who had been Emperor Jahangir's finance minister and his son; Asaf Khan – Arjumand Banu's father – played an important role in the Mughal court, eventually serving as Chief Minister. Her aunt was the Empress Nur Jahan and is thought to have played the matchmaker in arranging the marriage.

But for some reason, the Prince was not married to Arjumand Banu Begum for five years, which was an unusually long engagement for the time. However, Shah Jahan married the daughter of great-grandson of Shah Ismail of Persia with whom he had a daughter, his first child.[9]

Politically speaking, the betrothal allowed Prince Khurram to be considered as having officially entered manhood, and he was granted several jagirs, including Hissar-Feroze and ennobled to a military rank of 8,000, which allowed him to take on official functions of state, an important step in establishing his own claim to the throne.

In 1612, aged 20, Prince Khurram married Arjumand Banu Begum on an auspicious date chosen by court astrologers. The marriage was a happy one and Prince Khurram, while married to her, remained devoted to her and she bore him fourteen children, out of whom seven survived into adulthood. In addition, Khurram had two children from his first two wives.

Though there was genuine love between the two, Arjumand Banu Begum was a politically astute woman and served as a crucial advisor and confidante to her husband, she even is said to have implored Prince Khurram not to have children with his other wives, a call he listened.[11] Later on, as Empress, Mumtaz Mahal (Persian: the chosen one of the Palace) wielded immense power, such as being consulted by her husband in state matters and being responsible for the imperial seal, which allowed her to review official documents in their final draft.

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan is accompanied by his three sons: Dara Shikoh, Shah Shuja and Aurangzeb, including their maternal grandfather Asaf Khan IV.

Mumtaz Mahal died, aged 40, while giving birth to Gauhara Begum in Burhanpur, the cause of death being Postpartum hemorrhage,[12] which caused considerable blood-loss after a painful labour of thirty hours. Contemporary historians note that Princess Jahanara, aged 17, was so distressed by her mother's pain that she started distributing gems to the poor, hoping for divine intervention and Shah Jahan, himself, was noted as being "paralysed by grief" and weeping fits.[13]

Her body was temporarily buried in a walled pleasure garden known as Zainabad, originally constructed by Shah Jahan's uncle Prince Daniyal along the Tapti River. Her death had a profound impact on Shah Jahan's personality and inspired the construction of the Taj Mahal, where she was later reburied.

The intervening years had seen Khurram take two other wives, Akbarabadi Mahal (d.1677), and Kandahari Mahal (b. c1594), (m.1609). But according to court chroniclers, his relationship with his other wives was more out of political consideration and they enjoyed only the status of being royal wives.[14]

Military commander

The first occasion for Prince Khurram to test out his military prowess was during the Mughal campaign against the Rajput state of Mewar, which had been a hostile force to the Mughals since Akbar's reign. In 1614, commanding an army numbering around 200,000, Prince Khurram began the offensive against the Rajput kingdom. After a year of the harsh war of attrition, Maharana Amar Singh II surrendered to the Mughal forces and became a vassal state of the Mughal Empire.

In 1617, Prince Khurram was directed to deal with the Lodi in the Deccan, to secure the Empire's southern borders and to restore imperial control over the region. His successes in these conflicts led to Jahangir granting him the title of Shah Jahan (Persian: Glory of the World) and raised his military rank and allowed him a special throne in his Durbar, an unprecedented honour for a prince, thus further solidifying his status as crown prince.

Rebel prince

Inheritance of power and wealth in the Mughal empire was not determined through primogeniture, but by princely sons competing to achieve military successes and consolidating their power at court. This often led to rebellions and wars of succession. As a result, a complex political climate surrounded the Mughal court in Prince Khurram's formative years. In 1611 his father married Nur Jahan, the widowed daughter of an Afghan Noble. She rapidly became an important member of Emperor Jahangir's court and, together with her brother Asaf Khan, wielded considerable influence. Arjumand was Asaf Khan's daughter and her marriage to Prince Khurram consolidated Nur Jahan and Asaf Khan's positions at court.

Court intrigues, however, including Nur Jahan's decision to have her daughter from her first marriage wed Shah Jahan's youngest brother Shahzada Shahryar and her support for his claim to the throne led Khurram, supported by Mahabat Khan, into open revolt against his father in 1622.

The rebellion was quelled by Jahangir's forces in 1626 and Khurram was forced to submit unconditionally. Upon the death of Jahangir in 1627, Prince Khurram succeeded to the Mughal throne as Abu ud-Muzaffar Shihab ud-Din Mohammad Sahib ud-Quiran ud-Thani Shah Jahan Padshah Ghazi (Hindustani: شهاب الدین محمد خرم), or short Shah Jahan.[15] His regnal name is divided into various parts. Shihab ud-Din mean "Star of the Faith", Sahib al-Quiran ud-Thani means "Second Lord of the Happy Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus". Shah Jahan means "King of the World", alluding to his pride in his Timurid roots and his ambitions. More epithets showed his secular and religious duties. He was also Khalifat Panahi ("Refuge of the Caliphate"), but Zill-i Allahi, or the "Shadow of God on Earth".

His first act as ruler was to execute his chief rivals and imprison his step mother Nur Jahan. This allowed Shah Jahan to rule without contention.

Emperor (1628–1658)

Administration of the Mughal Empire

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan at his Durbar.

Evidence from the reign of Shah Jahan in the year 1648, states that the army consisted of 911,400 infantry, musketeers, and artillery men, and 185,000 Sowars commanded by princes and nobles and were maintained out of the revenues of the Mughal Empire which amounted to 120,071,876,840 dams.

During his reign the Marwari horse was introduced becoming Shah Jahan's favorite and various Mughal Cannons were mass-produced in the Jaigarh Fort. Under his rule, the empire became a huge military machine and the nobles and their contingents multiplied almost fourfold, as did the demands for more revenue from the peasantry. But due to his measures in the financial and commercial fields, it was a period of general stability—the administration was centralized and court affairs systematized.

The Mughal Empire continued to expand moderately during his reign as his sons commanded large armies on different fronts. Above all it is obligatory to mention here that India became the richest center of the arts, crafts and architecture and some of the best of the architects, artisans, craftsmen, painters and writers of the world resided in his empire, it is believed that the Mughal Empire had the highest gross domestic produce in the world.

Sikh rebels

In 1634, Shah Jahan's Mughal Army attacked the Sikhs led by Guru Hargobind and ordered the destruction of the Sikh temple in Lahore. Skirmishes were fought at Amritsar, Kartarpur and elsewhere.

Rajput rebels

Shah Jahan annexed the Rajput confederates of Baglana, Mewar and Bundelkhand. He then chose his 16 year old son Aurangzeb to serve in his place and subdue the rebellion by the Bundela Rajputs led by the renegade Jhujhar Singh.

Relations with the Deccan Sultanates

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan then chose his son Aurangzeb to become the Subahdar of the Deccan and ordered the annexation of Ahmednagar and the overthrow of the Nizam Shahi dynasty.

Relations with the Safavid dynasty

Shah Jahan and his sons captured the city of Kandahar in 1638 from the Safavids, prompting the retaliation of the Persians led by their powerful ruler Abbas II of Persia, who recaptured it in 1649, the Mughal armies were unable to recapture it despite repeated sieges during the Mughal–Safavid War. Shah Jahan also expanded the Mughal Empire to the west beyond the Khyber Pass to Ghazna and Kandahar.

Relations with the Ottoman Empire

While he was encamped in Baghdad, Sultan Murad IV is known to have met the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's ambassadors: Mir Zarif and Mir Baraka, who presented 1000 pieces of finely embroidered cloth and even armor. Murad IV presented them with the finest weapons, saddles and Kaftans and ordered his forces to accompany the Mughals to the port of Basra, where they set sail to Thatta and finally Surat.

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan had exchanged ambassadors and documents with the Ottoman Sultan Murad IV, it was through these exchanges led by the Mughal ambassador Sayyid Muhiuddin and his counterpart the Ottoman ambassador Arsalan Agha, that Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan received Mimar Yusuf, Isa Muhammad Effendi and Ismail Effendi, two Turkish architects and students of the famous Koca Mimar Sinan Agha. Both of them later comprised among the Mughal team that would design and build the Taj Mahal.

Maritime trade

Surat, Thatta, Arakan, Ayuthya, Balasore, Aceh, Melaka, Johore, Bantam, Makassar, Ceylon, Bandar Abbas, Mecca, Jeddah, Basra, Aden, Masqat, Mocha and the Maldives. His merchant fleet could only be rivaled by Abdul Goffur of Surat although other nobles such as Asaf Khan and Safi Khan owned seaborne vessels.

War with Portuguese

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan gave orders in 1631 to Qasim Khan, the Mughal viceroy of Bengal, to drive out the Portuguese from their trading post at Port Hoogly, the trading post was heavily armed with cannons, battleships, fortified walls, and other instruments of war.[17] The Portuguese were accused of trafficking by high Mughal officials and due to commercial competition the Mughal-controlled port of Saptagram began to slump. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan was particularly outraged by the activities of Jesuits in that region particularly when they were accused of abducting peasants.[18] On 25 September 1632 the Mughal Army raised imperial banners and gained control over the Bandel region and the renegade garrison was punished.[19]

Patronage of the arts

A Shamsa (literally: "Sun") Rosette bearing the inscription: "His majesty Shahabuddin Muhammad Shah Jahan, the Emperor, Warrior of the Faith (Islam), may Allah perpetuate his Empire and Sovereignty."

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan also intended to construct his capitol at Agra as an urban center that would rival both Istanbul and Isfahan in all its wealth and cultural opulence.

Shah Jahan's reign saw some of India's most well-known architectural and artistic accomplishments. The land revenue of the Mughal Empire under Shah Jahan was higher than that of any other Mughal ruler. The magnificence of Shah Jahan’s court was commented upon by several European travelers and by ambassadors from other parts of the world, including Francois Bernier and Thomas Roe. His famous Peacock Throne, with its trail blazing in the shifting natural colors of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, was valued by the jeweler Tavernier at 6½ million pounds sterling.

Under Shah Jahan's rule, Mughal artistic and architectural achievements reached their zenith. Shah Jahan was a prolific builder with a highly refined aesthetic sense. Among his surviving buildings are the Red Fort and Jama Masjid in Delhi, the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore, sections of the Lahore Fort(such as Sheesh Mahal, and Naulakha pavilion), and his Tomb of Jahangir.

Religious attitude

Shah Jahan was a more orthodox Muslim than his father and grandfather. Upon his accession, he adopted new policies which steadfastly reversed Akbar's generally liberal treatment of non-Muslims. In 1633, his sixth regnal year, Shah Jahan began to impose Sharia provisions against construction or repair of churches and temples and subsequently ordered the demolitions of newly built Hindu temples. He celebrated Islamic festivals with great pomp and grandeur and with an enthusiasm unfamiliar to his predecessors. Long-dormant royal interest in the Holy Cities also revived during his reign.[20] However, during the reign of Shah Jahan, the “Annual Car Festival” of the Jagannath Temple of Puri was specially patronized.[21]

Later life

The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his eldest son Dara Shikoh.

When Shah Jahan became ill in 1658, Dara Shikoh (Mumtaz Mahal's eldest son) assumed the role of regent in his father's stead, which swiftly incurred the animosity of his brothers. Upon learning of his assumption of the regency, his younger brothers, Shuja, Viceroy of Bengal, and Murad Baksh, Viceroy of Gujarat, declared their independence, and marched upon Agra in order to claim their riches. Aurangzeb, the third son, and ablest of the brothers, gathered a well trained army and became its chief commander. He faced Dara's army near Agra and defeated him during the Battle of Samugarh. Although Shah Jahan fully recovered from his illness, Aurangzeb declared him incompetent to rule and put him under house arrest in Agra Fort.

Jahanara Begum Sahib, Jahan's first daughter, voluntarily shared his 8-year confinement and nursed him in his dotage. In January 1666, Shah Jahan fell ill with strangury and dysentery. Confined to bed, he became progressively weaker until, on 22 January, he commended the ladies of the imperial court, particularly his consort of later years Akbarabadi Mahal, to the care of Jahanara. After reciting the Kal'ma (Laa ilaaha ill allah) and verses from the Quran, one of the greatest of the Mughal Emperors died, aged 74.

Shah Jahan's chaplain Sayyid Muhammad Qanauji and Kazi Qurban of Agra came to the fort, moved his body to a nearby hall, washed it, enshrouded it and put it in a coffin of sandalwood.[22] Princess Jahanara had planned a state funeral which was to include a procession with Shah Jahan's body carried by eminent nobles followed by the notable citizens of Agra and officials scattering coins for the poor and needy. Aurangzeb refused to accommodate such ostentation. The body was taken by river to the Taj Mahal and was interred there next to the body of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Contributions to architecture

Shah Jahan left behind a grand legacy of structures constructed during his reign. He was one of the greatest patrons of Mughal architecture.[23] His most famous building was the Taj Mahal, now a wonder of the world, which he built out of love for his wife the empress Mumtaz Mahal.

Its structure was drawn with great care and architects from all over the world were called for this purpose. The building took twenty years to complete and was constructed from white marble underlaid with brick. Upon his death, his son Aurangazeb had him interred in it next to Mumtaz Mahal. Among his other constructions are the Red Fort also called the Delhi Fort or Lal Qila in Urdu, large sections of Agra Fort, the Jama Masjid, the Wazir Khan Mosque, the Moti Masjid, the Shalimar Gardens, sections of the Lahore Fort, the Jahangir mausoleum—his father's tomb, the construction of which was overseen by his stepmother Nur Jahan and the Shahjahan Mosque. He also had the Peacock Throne, Takht e Taus, made to celebrate his rule. Shah Jahan also placed profound verses of the Quran on his masterpieces of architecture.

A famous seamless celestial globe was produced in 1659–1660, by the Sindhi astronomer Muhammad Salih Tahtawi of Thatta with Arabic and Persian inscriptions.

The Shah Jahan Mosque in Thatta, Sindh province of Pakistan (100 km / 60 miles from Karachi) was built in the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1647. The mosque is built with red bricks with blue coloured glaze tiles probably imported from another Sindh's town of Hala. The mosque has overall 93 domes and it is world's largest mosque having such number of domes. It has been built keeping acoustics in mind. A person speaking inside one end of the dome can be heard at the other end when the speech exceeds 100 decibels. It has been on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage list since 1993.[24]

Contribution to the arts

All the inscriptions on the Taj Mahal tombs of Shah Jahan and his wife are in Persian Calligraphy on the tombs and on the Agra Fort in quranic calligraphy and a Persian poem in Nastaʿlīq. Shah Jahan's cenotaph is bigger than that of his wife, but reflects the same elements: a larger casket on a slightly taller base, again decorated with astonishing precision with lapidary and calligraphy that identifies him.

The pen box and writing tablet were traditional Persian funerary icons decorating the caskets of men and women respectively. The Ninety Nine Names of God are found as calligraphic inscriptions in Persian nast Nastaʿlīq inscription style of calligraphy on the sides of the actual tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, in the crypt including "O Noble, O Magnificent, O Majestic, O Unique, O Eternal, O Glorious... ". The tomb of Shah Jahan bears a calligraphic inscription that reads: "He traveled from this world to the banquet-hall of Eternity on the night of the twenty-sixth of the month of Rajab, in the year 1076 Hijri."

Shah Jahan was very interested in Persian inscription and a Persian poet who requested a famous Persian calligrapher to decorate his palace and castles.

In 1629 Shah Jahan made a new currency. The coins were made from silver, gold,bronze and copper.

iPhone BeatMaker Xmas Baby Funk

iPhone BeatMaker - Googlaaaah feat. Nemi! by opolopo

"While the rest of the family was passed out and in a food coma on Christmas Day, I played around with my iPhone, sampling my two year old niece Nemi, launching her massive recording career. Still overwhelmed by all the creative tools available for the iPhone. Sitting in front of the open fire in a comfy arm chair with a (primitive but still) MPC in the palm of your hand is just mind blowing..." hehe

ps. The Swedish words you are hearin' are Mor Mor = Granny and Bajsa = Poo. Supa cute!

Harvard admits outstanding students of every nationality, income level, and background. Harvard has 12 degree-granting schools (for example: Harvard College, Harvard Business School, Harvard School of Public Health) and each school has its own application and admissions process, as well as its own forms of financial aid (grants, loans, and other forms of financial assistance) that can help reduce the cost of a Harvard education for many students.

Links on the left provide more information about applying to Harvard College for an undergraduate degree (sometimes known as a “bachelor’s” degree or “first” degree), to one of Harvard’s graduate or professional schools for a master’s or doctoral degree, or to some of Harvard’s other, non-degree programs.

Singing Girls at Pike Place Market

Seattle, Washington, USA

Pike Place Market is a public market overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle, Washington, United States.

The performers are in front of the first Starbucks Coffee store on a sunny Sunday.

Sundays are special for all of Pike Market Place, because it is closed to all traffic that day during the summer months and allows the audience to gather around and enjoy the artists.

Behind the scene : how this panorama was made

The audience was gathering around the artists and tourists were passing by the side walk. It was just crowded, but for one short moment a gap opened and I quickly walked in, made 2 shots every 90 degrees turning around my feet, made one Zenit and one Nadir and walked out. It took probably about 15s and I'm not sure if someone even realized that a 360x180 panoramic image was done. The stitching was just a mess. Parallax errors everywere, but with some tricks and masking the input images I could reduce the post processing to have only one power cable from the building to the market halls removed.

What Does You Skin Say About You

Your physical appearance will not lie about your overall well-being

People nowadays take care of the skin by going to dermatologists and applying beauty products because our skin is what makes us beautiful.

In an aesthetic perspective, glowing skin and pimple-free or spot-free skin is regarded as the beautiful skin and commonly conceived as healthy skin.

With so much regard with physical appearance, people tend to forget that being healthy inside is what makes skin healthy as well.

Because of the influence of media, people take care of the skin on the outside only.

People pay less attention to other factors affecting their skin that could be tell-tale signs of more serious health risks.

Read on to know more.

The Diabetes Doctor
What this doc looks for: Dark, velvety patches of skin on the back of your neck and under your arms
These dark patches, called acanthosis nigricans, can be one of the earliest signs of prediabetes (it may even show up before prediabetes), says Robert Gabbay, MD, PhD, chief medical officer at Harvard Medical School’s Joslin Diabetes Center. (Here are 8 ways to keep prediabetes from becoming diabetes.) Those dark areas are one marker that your body is becoming insulin resistant. “It’s thought that insulin overstimulates the skin and causes the dark folds, though it’s not fully understood,” he says. Because diabetes often runs in families, patients often link dark patches to genetics, rather than the disease. “People don’t always make the connection,” says Gabbay.

How he can help: If you notice you have dark patches in body folds or creases, are overweight or obese, and have a history of diabetes in your family, your doctor will want to check your blood glucose level. You may not have diabetes yet, despite this early sign, so he’ll coach you through steps to take to prevent the disease from actually developing. For example, losing 7% of your body weight will reduce your risk by two-thirds, Gabbay says.

This article is a guild information page for The Butchers of Arthas US.

The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only. Guild pages must comply with the guild page policy.

The Butchers were a relatively casual, high end, Alliance raiding guild on the Arthas server. The guild has been in existence since January 2002, transferring to WoW upon its release. As of September, 2009, with the advent of paid faction transfers and the transfer of numerous members to the Horde, the guild stopped raiding and now only has several members playing on a casual basis.

Progression Edit

Level 80 ContentEdit

Level 70 ContentEdit

In the level 60 content, the guild had cleared Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Onyxia's Lair, Zul'Gurub, Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and had killed The Prophet Skeram, the Royal Bug Family, Battleguard Sartura, Fankriss the Unyielding, Princess Huhuran and Twin Emperors in Temple of Ahn'Qiraj and had downed Instructor Razuvious, Anub'Rekhan and Grand Widow Faerlina in the Naxxramas, as well as having downed several of the outdoor raid bosses.

Recruitment Edit

Our Recruiting Forum lists which classes we are actively recruiting, but we are always in search of dedicated players with a group mindset. Our class needs are constantly changing, but are usually kept up-to-date in our recruiting forum.

To apply, you can either submit an application publicly in the recruiting forum, or via private message to Halleck or Beren.

  • Must be level 80
  • Enchanted and gemmed to fill your role
  • Ability to attend at least 75%+ of our raids (unless applying for a backup position)
  • Ability to take criticism
  • Ability to raid at the listed raid times with minimal time AFK
  • Ability to stay connected through raids
  • Ability to follow directions
  • Ability to think and act as needed when not specifically directed
  • Team oriented: Able to think with the good of the guild in mind
  • Self-reliant: Will prepare for raids and look for ways to improve without being spoon-fed
  • Desire to progress in raids and not simply farm loot
  • Ability to stay positive when learning encounters
  • Willingness to do what it takes to improve, if only for a specific fight

Raiding ScheduleEdit

We raid three nights per week: Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30 to 11:30pm, and Sunday from 7:00 to 11:30pm (all times are server time). As mentioned above, 75% attendance is expected of all members; those who cannot make this cut are welcome to apply for a backup position, with the understanding that full members will take priority on an open raid spot.

Loot is handled via /random rolls, but on a purely need before greed basis. Nobody will take a sidegrade when the item is a clear upgrade for another individual.

That said, those who are raiding just for the loot need not apply. Loot is a means to progress further, nothing more.

Pittsburgh Magazine wants a review copy of Stories of Strength

I just received an e-mail from the book review editor for Pittsburgh Magazine. She wants a review copy of Stories of Strength for consideration in the February issue. She said, “I feel that this book is something that our readers would enjoy, as well as appreciate because the proceeds are for a good cause.”

I requested a review copy from Jenna and she’s ordered a copy to be sent Priority Mail. Keep your fingers crossed. Pittsburgh Magazine has a circulation of 75,000 in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia, and Western Maryland. Keep your fingers crossed.

The Possibilities are Endless~ Buddhist Thought for the Day

"The Buddhist tradition teaches the truth of impermanence, or the transitory nature of things. The past is gone and the future has not yet happened, so we work with what is here -- the present situation. This actually helps us not to categorize or theorize. A fresh, living situation is taking place all the time, on the spot. This noncategorical approach comes from being fully here, rather than trying to reconnect with past events. We don't have to look back to the past in order to see what people are made out of. Human beings speak for themselves, on the spot."

~Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

I love this quote because it reminds me that
every moment in our lives is filled with choice.
Think on that regularly~ Every single second
gives us a myriad of options
that can grow into a kaleidoscope
of different colors, shapes and patterns
that touch our lives.

And rather than going back and holding on to an old story,
we are free in every moment to make things new,
to create our lives filled with the things, people,
ideas and creative projects
that we want and love.

Sometimes living in the present moment
can make things a little wonky.
Things change~ but that's the beauty!

Impermenance is the only thing we can count on
so we might as well get comfortable with it.

Our evolution depends on it!

My new motto lately:
'The Possibilities are Endless!'

A Thousand Clapping Hands said...

When you think about it, it seems so yet it is so difficult for most people.

Your motto is a good one, Kirsten!

Ariadone said...

Beautiful...I'm with you. Thank you.
Your music moves my heart like a flowing dancer.....
Lieve groeten
Godeliva van Ariadone

Carla said...

Nice reminder. I needed that today. Sometimes we get so caught up in it all when need to be brought back to now. thanks Carla

Ingrid Mida said...

We can all use a reminder to live in the moment. I like to tell myself that happiness is measured in moments.

NEW YORK — Good walking shoes are essential for touring “The Gates,” the latest exhibit from artists Jeanne-Claude and Christo that extends along 23 miles of footpaths in New York’s Central Park. So it seems appropriate that a souvenir tied to the project is a pair of socks.

Ozone Design is manufacturing The Gates socks at $15 retail to be sold starting this week in conjunction with the Central Park Conservancy.

Laurie Mallet, president and chief executive officer of Ozone, has known the artist couple for nearly 30 years — “I’m French and they’re French” is all she would offer about the association —  and has manufactured T-shirts commemorating their previous exhibits. This is the first time the company will offer socks.

“The Gates” is an estimated $20 million to $30 million project that is financed entirely by the artists, who do not accept sponsorships or donations. They also don’t want to see a penny from sock sales, indicated by the disclaimer sewn into the sole of the sock that states, “Christo and Jeanne-Claude will not derive any income from the sale of The Gates merchandise. Proceeds will benefit Central Park, other New York City parks and Nurture New York’s Nature, Inc.”

Starting this week, as construction begins on hanging the 7,500 panels of orange fabric along the park’s paths, the socks will be available online and at seven temporary The Gates gift shops throughout the park. Ozone is also producing two shirt styles to be sold.

Buzz around “The Gates” has hit high-end brands as well. Hermès will offer a $295 commemorative scarf that will also benefit Nurture New York’s Nature.

Kirbyville man sentenced to 2 years in state prison for 2012 fatal hit and run

A Jefferson County jury has handed down a 2 year prison sentence for Justin Lawson over fatal 2012 hit and run crash

BEAUMONT - Four years after Mitchell Downs' death, sadness poured out of this Jefferson County courtroom earlier today.

This comes after Justin Lawson was sentenced to 2 years in state prison for criminally negligent homicide.

Debra Fisher is downs grandmother and has been here every day for the trial.

She says she carries the pain of downs' death every day.

"We'll never be over it, but we can be over this part of it and have this closed because it's just been hanging in the air for four years." Fisher said.

What cemented Lawson's maximum sentence for criminally negligent homicide was the fact that Lawson was arrested for DWI in Jasper County 3 weeks ago.

Jefferson County's assistant district attorney Luke Nichols believes Lawson proved he was reckless on the road.

"He was still taking chances with other people's safety and that's why the jury found the maximum punishment with the range they had to work with, which was the full 2 years,” Nichols said.

During tearful testimony today, Fisher says it was devastating to know that her grandson laid here dead in December 2012, and feels relieved that Lawson's negligence will finally receive punishment.

"Never not knowing whether he was going to be set free or put on probation was always up in the air and now it's done it's finished. And this is off of us, this cloud is off of us," Fisher said.

A punishment that can't heal the pain of a lost loved one.

Lawson will also have to pay a $10,000 fine as part of his punishment.

About Us

Why are we doing this?

In the recession of 2008/2009, we barely survived. It was the worst times of our lives. With two small children, a hiring company with almost no work, creditors unpaid, overdraft maxed out and R1,600 in the bank. It was then when we realised the value of a customer. The absolute preciousness of work. My wife and I then came up with this idea, Why don’t we create a website where customers can come and present the work that they have available and we as hire and rental companies can compete to rent our items to them. Also, the customers must be able to find the items in the area closest to them, to cut costs for them.

Since then the site has expanded to cover a wide spectrum of needs. Not only hire companies, but also product and service companies, as well as individuals, are listing our website.

Our goal is to provide a directory for all product and service needs, listing companies and individuals nationwide. We have now also expanded the directory worldwide.

The directory include companies offering:

Plant and machinery

  • Heavy Equipment and machinery
  • Small Tools and equipment
  • Building tools
  • DIY
  • Gardening
  • Sheds and containers

Technology Systems

  • IT and Audio
  • Entertainment
  • Household
  • Medical and disabled mobility
  • Business

  • Baby equipment and toys
  • Catering and functions
  • Clothing and evening wear

And many more!

Facebook fixes message bug but still denies it may help to spread malware

As you know, Facebook normally blocks the exchange of executable files and does not allow attaching executables to messages to prevent the risk of malware. However, security blogger Nathan Power reports that after adding the space to the end of a filename it has been possible to avoid this restriction and send messages not only to your contacts. Of course, after being notified Facebook fixed this problem immediately but still denies that this fix was necessary.

The statement from Facebook announces that users have never been at the risk of malware because there is more than one security layer which protects people from being infected unnoticeably for the victim. In addition, they claim that Facebook Messages has antivirus protection that scans every message for malware and malicious links. However, they claim that they spent some time for the further investigation and determined which scenarios were behaving undesirably.

Emails with malicious executables seem to be one of the most popular ways to attack unaware users. By tricking users into opening them, vulnerable systems can get infected very easily what additionally leads victims to data loss, identity theft or unexpected money transfer from their bank accounts. We highly recommend avoiding opening suspiciously looking emails and the ones that come from people you don’t know.

22Apple - How To Remove?

22Apple is a browser hijacker that gets access to computer systems through different programs that you download from the Internet. The program modifies settings of your browser, changing your homepage to 22Apple.com and default search engine, as well as causing some other alterations. It’s not that difficult to avoid getting such programs on your system. All you need to do is to be more careful when downloading any other applications and unmark all options to download unknown and unwanted programs. However, many of us tend to install programs as quickly as possible and we often forget to check what extra programs we are offered to downloaded together.

22Apple causes promotional ads to be displayed on your computer. It shows many sponsored links so you can end up visiting various unknown websites. What is more, the program is used to track the information about your browsing habits that can be a reason why later on you receive various offers related to marketing.

Be very careful about what you are agreeing to install and get acquainted with every program before downloading it. You should uninstall 22Apple from your computer using its uninstaller. Remove all components of 22Apple that you will find in the Add/Remove programs list and change the settings of all your browsers manually.

On Internet explorer:

  1. Click arrow on the right of search box
  2. Do following: On IE8-9 choose Manage Search providers, On ie7 click change search defaults
  3. Remove the 22Apple.com from the list

On Firefox :

  1. Enter “about:config” in url bar. This will open settings page
  2. Type “Keyword.url” in the search box. Right click it & reset it.
  3. Type “browser.search.defaultengine” in the search box. Right click it & reset it.
  4. Type “browser.search.selectedengine” in the search box. Right click it & reset it.
  5. Search for ‘browser.newtab.url’. Right-click and reset. This will make sure that the search page won’t launch on each new tab.

On Google Chrome:

  1. Click 3 horizontal lines icon on browser toolbar
  2. Select Settings
  3. Select Basics ->Manage Search engines
  4. Remove unnecessary search engines from list
  5. Go back to settings. On Startup choose open blank page ( you can remove undesired pages from the set pages link too).

Finally, you can run a full system scan using a reliable antispyware tool, such as Spyhunter to get rid of any extra components that can cause harm to your computer.

Review: Fig Leaf Baby - Preemie, Infant, and Toddler Clothing

Twintuitive Product #17

I chose these toddler tees from Fig Leaf Baby to feature as a "TWINtuitive Product", because a large percentage of twins are born prematurely and this baby clothing boutique specializes in clothing for preemies. Our own twins were born 9-1/2 weeks early. They spent two weeks in the NICU and then another three weeks in the Special Care Nursery. If you are looking for gifts for preemies, whether for singletons, twins, triplets, or more, Fig Leaf Baby is a good place to start.

What I thought about our NICU tees from Fig Leaf Baby:

1) First I want to point out that these "N.I.C.U. Alumni" t-shirts are currently only available in long and short sleeve preemie-size bodysuits. Fig Leaf Baby was nice enough to have these toddler tees made especially for my twins so I could experience their products first hand. I do think they should offer this shirt in larger sizes because being a NICU graduate is something to celebrate for a long time.

2) I honestly was bowled over by the quality of these t-shirts. It is apparent that every detail about the clothing is first class.

3) What impressed me the most about these shirts was that they are soft as a cloud. They are made of 100% Peruvian Pima cotton. I would love to see Fig Leaf Baby add sleepwear to their line in this fabric.

4) I like the fact that this clothing is dyed with organic vegetable dyes. This is so important for preemies and newborns who have such delicate skin.

5) That these shirts are embroidered with text rather than screen printed, makes them an even more impressive gift.

6) These shirts are labeled inside and out. On the inside, there is a satiny fabric Fig Leaf Baby label, which is soft and did not irritate either twins' necks. On the outside, the Fig Leaf Baby logo is discreetly printed on the upper back of the shirt.

7) One thing that usually concerns me about embroidery is the possibility of the underside irritating the skin. Fig Leaf Baby uses a backing that dissolves in the wash, which it did completely disappear in the first washing. Still, I was worried that the embroidery itself would cause some itching because sometimes the lettering can get stiff. I was relieved to find that I was able to soften the embroidery with just flexing it here and there a few times. Both twins wore these shirts right against their skin with no signs of irritation at all.

8) These shirts washed very well. There were no signs of shrinking, pilling, or misshaping. The embroidery also stayed completely intact.

Fig Leaf Baby's selection is not limited to tees and bodysuits for preemies, newborns, and toddlers. Their line also includes preemie and newborn tops, pants, jackets, dresses, and hats. To view their full line of clothing and accessories, visit . A portion of Fig Leaf Baby's proceeds go to the K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distressed Situations) children's charity.

Through September 30th, 2009, my readers have been invited to shop Fig Leaf Baby and to save 15% on every order placed using the Promo Code: 3G2S15.

Thank you to Fig Leaf Baby for providing us with a review product free of charge.
