Be the pearl, not the shell

This post is also available in: Bahasa Indonesia

Summary of Maulana Shaykh Nazim’s daily Suhbahs

2nd April 2010, Friday

Be the pearl, not the shell

A’uzubillah himinash shaitan nirrajeem

Bismillah-hir Rahman-nir Raheem

Assalamu’alaikum wrh wbkt

  • Mawlana gave salams to attendees, and he prayed that safety and blessings would descend on this small group of dedicated attendees. He then prayed for protection from Shayṭān, the source of all tragedies and disasters that has befallen Man since the beginning of time, right till the end.

  • In this worldly life, it would have been easy for Allah to imprison Shayṭān, so that we would be in safety, but the Divine Wisdom in allowing Shayṭān to tempt Man, is that Allah wishes to show the value and honor of Mankind in the Divine presence. Each time Allah bestows any goodness on any of the Children of Adam from His infinite Oceans of Honor, Shayṭān explodes in anger and jealousy, it feels intense suffering, like fire burning its body. Mawlana asked, if it is possible for Shayṭān, who is made from fire, to suffer, if it were burnt in fire? Man is made from the earth, so it can indeed be burnt, but can a creature made of fire be burnt too? Will Shayṭān suffer when it is thrown into Jahannam? (Question was left unanswered)

  • Mawlana said that each of the billions of believers is at a different Station of understanding and belief. Hence, the Paradise that each of the billions of humans will inherit, are all different from one another (according to one’s level of understanding and belief), no two are alike. Mawlana gave the example of how there are billions of homes on earth, but no two homes are identical in what they contain, and in what activities take place within them. This is a symbol of Allah’s Greatness, that He never creates two identical creations.

  • We must study about Allah’s Attributes, we must study the Qur’an, for the Qur’an is not merely one Ocean, said Mawlana, it is an infinite array of Oceans, and even the Prophets have yet to reach the shores of these Oceans, so wide and deep are they! So we must appreciate the Holy Qur’an, and study it.

  • We can learn without technology. We must not be dependent on technology, for technology is from Shayṭān’s dirtiness. He who honors technology, honors Shayṭān. It is true that technology can appear amazing – it is mind-boggling how this Suhbah is transmitted from East to West by technology, but what Allah has given his chosen servants, far exceed the powers of technology – in fact, technology would have no value or standing, when compared to what Allah has given the pious ones.

  • Allah said in a Hadith Qudsī, “Oh My Servant, obey Me, and I shall dress you in Rabbaniyyat. And when you say BE, it shall BE!” (Rabbaniyyat means Divine Dressings of Honor)

اِنَّمَاۤ اَمۡرُهٗۤ اِذَاۤ اَرَادَ شَیْـًٔـا اَنۡ يَّقُوۡلَ لَهٗ كُنۡ فَيَكُوۡنُ

Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “Be!” and it is! (Surah Ya-Sin 36:82)

  • Who are these chosen servants that have been bestowed such heavenly prowess? They are the servants who have attained the highest Station, they are those who do not seek carnal pleasures of the physical body, they seek only His pleasure. They are servants only to their Lord, they are not servants to anyone other than Him – they are not slaves to Shayṭān, to their egos, to their desires or to dunyā. One who has reached that level, Allah declares him as “Abdi (My servant)!”

  • When you have reached that level, you are no longer in need of technology – whatever you say, will occur. Believers must be ashamed that they have yet to attain that level of servanthood.

  • Scholars must be ashamed too, that they have not guided their flocks to such levels too. If Scholars are busy quarrelling and debating with other Scholars about what is haram, bida’ah, kufur and shirik, and which hadith are dhaif – how are they to achieve spiritual ascension? If they have sunk to beneath the seven layers of the earth (by useless deeds), how are they to rise and take their followers to the peak of the seven layers of the heavens? Time is of the essence, stop all this futile quarrels and petty finger pointing, Judgment Day is just around the corner, so we must all strive to upgrade our faith and to become servants of value.

  • Mawlana gave the example of an oyster containing a pearl, in which only the pearl was kept protected and extracted, but the oyster shell was eventually thrown away. If we do not attain any value (if we do not attain true servanthood), we will also be thrown away, into Jahannam. Only the ones of value, the pearls, will be protected and preserved, in Paradise.

  • Mawlana gave another example. A hen may lay many eggs, but not all will hatch. One who is guided, will be like the hatched egg – it will bear results. The unguided one, will be like the unhatched egg – it will not proceed to the next stage of its development.

  • Why are we resisting Divine advice that is designed to turn us into pearls? Do you wish be a useless shell (an unguided one), or do you wish to be transformed into a valuable pearl (a guided one)? A pearl cannot be formed by itself, without a ‘seed’. Similarly, a person cannot attain guidance, without a Master.

  • Allah sent to Mankind 124 000 Prophets (and today the Saints), to turn us into valuable pearls. If we open our hearts to be guided, Rasulullah (saw) will insert the ‘seed’ that grows into a pearl within our hearts. But, if, like the Children of Israel, we lock our hearts from our Prophet (saw), how is he to insert this ‘seed’ into our closed hearts? We will then remain without value, like the oyster shell that is discarded and forgotten.

Oh Mankind, Paradise is for clean ones!

Summary of Maulana Shaykh Nazim’s Suhbah

29th January 2010, Friday

Oh Mankind, Paradise is for clean ones!

A’uzubillah himinsh shaitan nirrajeem

Bismillahir Rahman-nir Raheem

Assalamu’alaikum wrh wbkt

  • Maulana begins this sobering Suhbah, by welcoming all the attendees at the gathering. In a similar way, Angels extend salams, greetings and praises to all those who are heading in the direction of Paradise, who are on the path of seeking nearness to Allah. In akherat, Angels greet the people of Paradise, with greetings of love, happiness and respect too.
  • On the Day of Resurrection, when the entire Bani Adam has gathered and has been judged, the people destined for Paradise will form up in 120 rows, like prayer Safs, and 40 rows will be occupied by the Ummahs of Nabi Adam (as) to Nabi Isa (as), while the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) would occupy 80 rows.
  • The Gate Keeper of the eight Doors to Paradise, Angel Sayyidina Ridwan (as) will call out to all, “Oh servants of the Lord of the Heavens, welcome, welcome, welcome!” And Rasulullah (saw), will approach him, and Sayyidina Ridwan (as), will ask, “Who are you?” He will be informed that it is Sayyidina Muhammad (saw), and he will say, “I have been ordered to to keep these Doors closed, until you are here, Ya Rasulullah (saw), Ya Habibullah…” Rasulullah (saw) will lead his Ummah, and he will be followed by the other Ummahs.
  • Sayyidina Ridwan (as) will then open the Doors, with Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. And each person will step into Paradise, at the same time, there will be no queueing, no waiting! Billions of Bani Adam will recite, Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, and step in at the same time as the other, each one will set foot into his/her own Paradise, no one else will be there, it is theirs for eternity!! Allahu akbar.
  • Who will inherit Paradise? Dirty feet cannot enter Paradise! Only clean feet may enter. Paradise is a place of purity, cleanliness, so dirty feet cannot enter Paradise. So you must clean yourselves – if you are dirty, you cannot enter Paradise.
    • Billions of people will fall into Hell, as they cannot cross the Bridge (Sirat), as unclean ones cannot pass over the bridge – they will fall into the Fire, to be cleaned. Maulana says, beware and take care not be return in a dirty condition! Maulana says, one cannot enter Paradise in a dirty condition – no, no, no, he said repeatedly.
      • The least we could do, Maulana says, is to take ablution (wudhu) before we sleep, so that if we were to die during our sleep, we would be treated differently by the Angels, as they would notice that our feet had been washed recently.
        • Maulana says that we are rolling in the dirtiness of this life, and we are not cleaning it off, yet we are yearning to enter Paradise. That will never happen, as Paradise is ONLY for the pure ones. Maulana prayed, “Oh Allah, cleanse us in this world, and take us out of this world as clean ones.”
          • It is almost impossible to find a clean human being in these times. So many dead bodies emit horrendous odours when they are being washed and prayed upon.
            • When such a person is placed in the grave, the Angels ask him, “What is this dirtiness that you are carrying with you, that you have brought into the grave? You did not know how to cleanse yourself before coming here? We will then clean you till the Day of Resurrection. We will clean you, with Fire!” Fire will then encompass the person from all four sides, and he will be subjected to abject torture and intense suffering till the Day of Resurrection.
            • That is the first step of the cleansing process, more awaits the unfortunate person when he is resurrected on Judgement Day.

            قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ تَزَكّٰىۙ

            But those will prosper who purifies themselves.(Surah Al-A'la 87:14)

In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light!
Hal Jordan, Showcase, #22 (October, 1959)

Hal Jordan [3]

Green Lantern (09x08 - The Death of Superman).png

Hal Jordan is the greatest Green Lantern, an Intergalactic Space Patrolman and member of the Green Lantern Corps, chosen by the Guardians of the Universe for his ability to overcome great fear.

The strength of his willpower allows him to wield the universe's mightiest weapon, a power ring controlled by his thoughts.

In his secret identity he is a test pilot working for Ferris Aircraft where his boss Carol Ferris is also his romantic interest. His powers are useless against anything colored yellow. He is also a founding member of the Justice League.

Background Information

Continuity from Earth-One

Earth-One Continuity

The Secret Origin Of Green Lantern 1978

The Origin of Green Lantern

In the parallel-universe of Earth-One, not much is known about Hal's early life. We do know that upon returning to Coast City after a visit to Metropolis University, young Jordan met Clark Kent of Smallville. Their plane hit heavy turbulence which spun the aircraft out of control. Jordan helped calm frightened passengers while Clark Kent secretly stabilized the 707 jet liner. A few nights later, Jordan's life was jeopardized by his lack of fear. He inadvertently came across a smuggling ring while scuba diving and charged in without concern for his safety. Jordan was taken aboard their World War II submarine but was later rescued by the authorities when the submarine was run aground by mysterious forces. Superboy tells Hal that he must learn to combine his quality of fearlessness with good judgment in order to keep from placing his life or the lives of others in jeopardy. Hal takes the words to heart.[4]

After high school, Jordan enrolled in a West Coast College and earned a degree in aviation engineering. Following that, Jordan enlisted in the Air Force and served under Captain Richard Davis. The commanding officer became mentor and lifelong friend to the young pilot.[5]

Another Air Force friend of Hal's, pilot Bill Davis, was killed in Korea. Over the years, Hal kept in touch with Bill's elderly parents, Sally and Steve Davis. [Note: There does not appear to be any relation between Richard Davis and Bill's family].[6]

With his degree in aviation engineering, Jordan easily rejoined civilian life. He designed a flightless trainer for the Ferris Aircraft Corporation in Coast City, California and for some time was Ferris' number one test pilot. Though his aviation career showed great promise, Jordan was passed over by the astronaut program. Metropolis reporter Clark Kent interviewed the young test pilot for the Daily Planet.[7]

Jordan soon met Carol Ferris the daughter of owner Carl Ferris and the two began to date.

On one notable occasion (February of 1971 in the Earth-1A universe), as Hal was patrolling the Canaveral a day before Ferris Aircraft was to launch a new booster rocket for the 'Explorer Project', he was shot at by someone with a ray-gun. Taking cover, he informed his superiors. And in less than a half an hour he found himself embroiled in a Martian invasion and a kidnapped alien. Soon, the launch pad at Ferris Aircraft contained Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman and Rex the Wonder Dog. They had hoped to find a missing hero and soon to be ally Martian Manhunter. They soon discover a plot to kill the Manhunter, Flash had spoken about. He was strapped to the top of the booster rocket. Just then, Commander Blanx, and a small squadron of White Martians strike. In the battle that ensued, our heroes defeat Blanx and his men, and rescue the captive J'onn J'onzz. After their success, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and the Manhunter discuss forming a club or a society to uphold Justice in the World. Batman says he’s not much of a joiner and the rest discuss the panic that was involved in this Martian excursion and the fear that coming together as a team with a Martian might foster. So they decide to wait until the time is right. Hal Jordan and the gathered reporters present also offer their oath of silence believing that global panic would not be good.[8]

In October of that same year, a space-patrolman named Abin Sur of the Green Lantern Corps crash lands in the middle of the California desert. As he lays dying, he commands his power ring to seek out a worthy successor for Sector 2814 – one who proves to be fearless and strong-willed. Miles away, test pilot Hal Jordan is examining a stationary ‘flight simulator’ at the Ferris Aircraft Company when a corona of green light envelops him, pulling him along with the simulator to the spot of Abin Sur's crashed vessel. Abin Sur tells Hal that the 'power' of the ring selected him to take on the role of the Green Lantern. He gives him the ring and a power battery. He instructs him that the ring will obey his every command but is powerless against anything colored yellow. He also tells him that the ring's energy must be charged from the power battery once every twenty-four hours. Hal agrees to accept the responsibility of wielding the ring in the cause of justice, and, with that, Abin Sur passes away. Hal Jordan is now Green Lantern.[9] This historical-transaction was concealed from the Guardians because of an 'Ion-Storm.'[10]

About nine-months later, the Guardians realize they have a new recruit and decide to check on him. While he is in-flight, testing a new aircraft, his ‘astral-form’ is transported to the world of the Guardians, who seek to know who took over the role of Green Lantern in that sector of space from Abin Sur. Hal recounts the events that led to him becoming the Green Lantern. Convinced that Hal is worthy of the title, but not ready to know of their existence; they erase his memory and return his astral form to his physical body. Aside from a feeling of dizziness, Hal is unaware of what just happened.[11]

On one memorable occasion, Green Lantern saves fellow co-worker, Eskimo mechanic Thomas "Pieface" Kalmaku from some ruffians. As Green Lantern, Hal then helps Tom, by taking him up to Alaska to track the crooks who stole something from him. Returning to the states, Tom reveals to Hal that he knows that he is Green Lantern because he noticed both have the exact same fighting style. Instead of wiping Tom's mind with his power ring, Hal decides to let Tom remember.[12] He soon became Green Lantern’s non-costumed sidekick, accompanying him on several missions.

A few years later (February 1973 in the Earth-1A universe), Hal as Green Lantern joins forces again, with the Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter to stop the invading Appellaxians. The assembling resulted in the formation of Justice League of America![13]

Hal's Filmation appearance, 1967.

A Venusian named Kairo assisted Hal Jordan as his mechanic/sidekick. Typically, Kairo had the blue skin and pointy ears of his race, and because he had no super powers was prone to need rescuing, although he did contribute a fair amount as well.[14]

Hal ‘hit the road’ with liberal and outspoken friend, Oliver Queen. Together they embark on a quest in a beat-up pickup truck to "find America," along the way witnessing the problems of corruption, racism, pollution, as well as overpopulation confronting the nation. Each would find their beliefs challenged by the other. Jordan wanted to work within the system and was more concerned about dealing with criminals; where Oliver advocated social change. He did manage to convince Jordan to see beyond his strict obedience to the Green Lantern Corps, and to help those who were neglected or discriminated against. As Ollie and Hal traveled the country, they were occasionally joined by Dinah.[15] This was Hal’s first leave of absence for them the JLA.

Hal runs into an interesting and noteworthy predicament when he investigates an earthquake that hits Coast City. He saves the life of Guy Gardner, who is injured after being hit by a bus. Hal knows that this man is earths ‘back-up’ Green Lantern should something happen to him. Now he's lying in a hospital and will be for at least six months. This worries Hal. Suddenly, the image of one of the Guardians of the Universe appears, stating that there must be an alternate replacement selected – John Stewart.[16]

While tracking a thug in Star City, Green Arrow is ambushed and outnumbered. With an arm that has been injured several times in recent months, his archery isn't as accurate as it should be, but he risks firing an arrow to disarm a sniper. He is horrified when his bad arm causes him to miss his shot and kill the sniper. Dinah hears of this regrettable occurrence and calls Hal. Hal flies over to Oliver's tenement, arriving before anyone else. He finds Oliver's arrows broken and his costume shredded, leaving the question open as to Oliver's fate. [NOTE: Ollie however, telling no one, spends a few months in an ashram monastery, shedding the remaining trappings of his super-heroic life (including crashing the Arrowplane into a mountain).][17]

Continuity From SuperFriends / Earth-1A Universe (1975-85)

Earth-1A Continuity

According to Earth-1A continuity, in late 1975, shortly after the Martian Manhunter had left Earth,[18] the Justice League, believed that (as Superman stated), "the best way for us to combat crime and be prepared for world-wide emergencies is to work together. From now on, we'll be the SuperFriends."[19] The heroes on hand for this historic occasion were Aquaman, Batman, Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Black Vulcan and Samurai.[20] This arrangement was spear-headed by Superman, Batman (and Robin), Aquaman and Wonder Woman (the core-five) and included the training of young people (or Junior Super Friends) for law enforcement at the Hall of Justice. Marvin White and Wendy Harris, and later Zan and Jayna of the Wonder Twins are the first of the trainees.[21]

Exclusive to the Earth-1A universe, exists the Legion of Doom, an organized body of self-proposed Supervillains led by Lex Luthor. Aquaman, along with the SuperFriends and a few Justice Leaguers would battle the villainous group on many occasions for the remainder of the decade.

Soon, Lex Luthor, Cheetah and Sinestro team-up to target a few of the "greater Superfriends." They devise a plan to travel back in time to weaken the team by making sure that certain Justice Leaguers never existed (in addition to Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman were also targeted). Lex Luthor wanted to target the Green Lantern. So he travels back to the day Abin Sur was looking for a successor. Luthor convinces Colonel Jordan his life is in danger and instead is carried off by Abin Sur's green beam, Luthor was and becomes the Green Lantern instead. The damaged timeline is corrected when Black Vulcan, The Flash and Batman also go back in time to thwart Luthor and ensure Jordan fulfills his destiny of being the Green Lantern, thus saving their teammate.[22]

Continuity From Earth-One, Continued

Final Days as Green Lantern & The Crisis on Infinite Earths

On mission with the Arrow to take down the mysterious Professor Ojo of the League of Assassins, Hal’s ring malfunctions and does not work properly. So he is forced to travel to Oa, seeking it’s repair from the Guardians. But first, Hal seeks out his ‘back-up,’ Guy Gardner, who has been recovering these past months from his injuries. He explained to Guy his supportive role in Corps,[23] so he can ‘fill in’ and team-up with Green Arrow. On Oa, the Guardians explain to Hal that his power battery has become fundamentally flawed, and must be replaced before it malfunctions dangerously. They give him a new one, and tell him to safely dispose of the old one. Back on Earth, Guy Gardner and Ollie engage Professor Ojo, but lose the battle. Defeated and tired, Guy goes back to the power battery to recharge. Unfortunately, just before Hal can get back in time to warn him, there's an explosion from the power battery and Guy completely vanishes. Ollie, Dinah and Hal morn his loss.[24] Hal and Ollie, believing Guy is dead, continue to engage Professor Ojo. After they stop the professor, Hal as Green Lantern seeks out Kari Limbo, Guy’s girlfriend, to give her the bad news.[25]

Unbeknownst to our heroes, Guy is not dead, but trapped in the Phantom Zone. It is soon revealed that the imprisoned Kryptonians (including General Zod) can focus their wills through Guy and control his ring. The Arrow and Hal find out that Guy is in the Zone, so Hal goes to Superman at the Fortress for help. Superman, at Hal's request, sends him into the Zone alone, but not without a gift. While inside the Zone, Hal is able to use the gift, which is apparently deadly to Zoners. He is then able to free Guy, only to have a strange yellow beam appear, which pulls Guy away. Later, back at the Fortress, Hal and Superman surmise that the yellow beam came from Qward in the Antimatter Universe. Upon arrival, Hal finds Sinestro controlling Guy. After a brief battle, Hal rescues a delirious Guy, who is taken to Mercy Memorial Hospital where the doctor says he's never encountered this type of brain damage before. Guy sits there in a catatonic stupor. Kari arrives to take care of him and Hal/Green Lantern vows to continue searching for Sinestro.[26]

Jordan's second extended absence came when the Guardians exiled him into deep space[27] staying away from earth for a period of one year. He was exiled to prove his loyalty to the Green Lantern Corps, having been accused of paying too much attention to Earth when he had an entire "sector" of the cosmos to patrol. When he returns to Earth, he finds himself embroiled in a dispute with Carol Ferris. Jordan struggles with the tension between his duty to Carol and his duty to Corps. The Guardians call Jordan's backup, John Stewart, to regular duty as back-up while Hal decides.[28]

Soon, Ollie teams up with Hal to bring down the Demolition Team who recently destroyed Ferris Aircraft. After their defeat, Hal faces the choice of continuing as a ring-wielder, or quitting to stay with Carol Ferris.[29]

After the Justice League Satellite is destroyed during the Earth/Mars War,[30] Jordan decides turn in his ring to the Guardians, telling them he wishes to give up his heroic identity so he and Carol could marry[31] and Aquaman disbanded the original JLA.[32] John Stewart succeeds him as Green Lantern for earth Sector 2814.[33] At this point (according to Earth-1A continuity), Jordan has served in the JLA about eleven years.

As Hal’s marriage date to Carol approached, she became the evil Star Sapphire, preventing their marriage.[34]

Crisis on Infinite Earths

Main Article: Crisis on Infinite Earths

It is July 1985 – A new power is detected by the Guardians, that appears to be able to destroy entire worlds. They decide to track it carefully, in case they have an error in their readings.[35] Meanwhile, Hal is trying to adjust to life apart from the Green Lantern Corp and the loss of Carol Ferris from his life. He has a chance encounter with his old friend Tom Kalmaku and his family. They catch up on recent events in their lives, and Tom forgives Hal for not consulting him before quitting the Corps. Soon the skies overhead have turned red. Weather around the world is out of whack. All the signs point to the coming of Armageddon. The Harbinger appears to earth’s ‘newly’ appointed Green Lantern, John Stewart and takes him to the Monitor’s Satellite. He meets the others that have been summoned. John’s partner, Katma Tui sends a distress call to the Guardians of the Universe on Oa warning them about the impending Crisis. The Guardians inform her they plan to hold a council. At the meeting, the Guardians decide they will need to call in the entire Green Lantern Corps to deal with the threat, but before they can the Anti-Monitor sends a blast through the Central Power Battery and massacres all present. Oa is then surrounded by an impenetrable barrier. Unaware of this attack, Katma Tui goes to Hal to discuss ‘red skies’ and everything else that's been going wrong. After meeting with Katma, Hal visits the grave of Abin Sur, where he finds Guy Gardner (whom he believes is still in a coma) desecrating it, attempting to find the ‘Ring’ that he believes should rightfully be his. The two men fight, until a Guardian arrives to officially admit a new Green Lantern into the Corps – Guy Gardner! The Guardian informs Guy that since there is a ‘Crisis’ upon them, he is needed. He then informs Hal that since he has retired, he is no longer a part of their plans. Needless to say, Hal is not happy about that.[36]

Desperate for reinstatement into the Corps, Hal hitched a ride through space with Guy, but was jettisoned onto the planet surface before arriving at the Oan Citadel. Hal lands on the desert side of Oa.[37] Meanwhile, in the Citadel, six Guardians (not all Guardians agree with course of action, believing it to be a futile attempt), tell Guy about the current ‘Crisis’ and its origins in Krona’s scientific work, the birth of the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor and the massive waves from the Anti-Matter Universe that is consuming the positive-matter universes. The Guardians also reveal that they have been using their own power to charge a secondary power battery, since the destruction of the first one. This battery does not compare to Oa’s Central Power Battery, but will be strong enough to power rings for a ‘new’ Green Lantern Corps to combat the Anti-Monitor – a select group that will bring order to the stars. As the Guardians explain this to Guy, Hal is able to find a research tunnel that will lead him to the Citadel. After his long trek through the tunnel he comes upon Oa’s Central Power Battery and finds it depleted of power. But that is not the worst of it. He finds several Guardian’s there as well in what appears to be held in suspended animation in a stasis beam. He counts fifteen and realizes this leaves twenty-one Guardians free. He is confronted by K'ryssma and Apros, two of the Corps Honor Guards. He expresses his desire for an audience with the Guardians. They refuse him passage. He protests claiming to honor Corps despite his failings. They are interrupted by the Guardians who accept his request. Hal tells them that he is eager to help avert the ‘Crisis’, but the Guardians tell him the time for them to protect the Multiverses has come to an end and that they all must die. Hal protests, and explains that there is at least one Guardian who is not accepting defeat – the one who summoned Guy Gardner. They concede, understanding that just as the Universe is a Multiverse, so the Guardians are of diverse minds. They then turn to Hal, recognizing the Universes impending doom and tell him that his decision to return the ring was final and that he will never be a Green Lantern again, but be consoled, ‘never’ will be a short time and send him back to earth.[38] Suddenly, a cosmic crimson anti-matter flame from beyond the void washes over Oa. The Green Lantern Citadel is destroyed and all but one of the six Guardians are killed. Guy Gardner swears allegiance, becoming the Green Lantern for earth Sector 2814 and is tasked by the sole surviving Guardian to complete a mission of vengeance.[39]

Guy heads out on his mission,[40] (He has been commissioned to resurrect one of Green Lantern's deadliest enemies, the Shark) and Hal Jordan, who is back on earth, instead of lamenting over his fate at the hands of the Guardians, holds his head high and proclaims that he is Hal Jordan, test-pilot and former Green Lantern. He decides to seek out John Stewart and heads to John’s apartment for a much need discussion. John has just returned from the mission the Monitor had sent him on in the 19th century.[41] John who was initially happy that his mission went well, becomes discouraged to learn from Kat that the Crisis is not over. She encourages John to get some much needed rest, and sends her energy-twin to tour her home Sector, 1417. John takes the physical form of Kat back to his apartment for protection. Soon, Hal arrives at John’s apartment and shares three things: (1) that he is John’s predecessor; (2) his experience to aid in the Crisis and (3) that Guy Gardner has been chosen by some of the Guardians and sent on a secret mission. John is unaware of who Guy is, so Hal gives the jet-tour explanation as to Guy’s equality in being chosen Green Lantern and then explains how the Guardians are split on how to handle the Crisis. While they're talking, the Shark leaps through the window intent on killing Hal Jordan. John Stewart faces off against Shark, and subdues him. Guy Gardner appears, and reveals that his mission is to assemble and launch a ‘supervillain assault’ on the Anti-Monitor's birthplace on Qward. The two Lanterns quickly come into conflict, and prepare to fight it out.[42]

As Guy and John argue about what to do with the recently captured Shark, and their loyalties to the opposing factions in the Guardians, the Shark escapes. Gardner knocks John unconscious and catches up with the Shark and explains that he's being enlisted for an assault mission to destroy one of the moons of Qward, in an effort to save the multiverse. Gardner and the Shark go off to find more villains together. Waking up, Stewart goes to search for Hal Jordan who he had flung to safety in space shortly before his fight. Unable to find him, he goes looking for Gardner. Katma Tui, realizing the Crisis is not yet over flies back to Earth. Stewart, finally catches up with him at the same time as Katma Tui. The two prepare to fight, but are interrupted by the sudden appearance of Hal Jordan, now carrying his own Green Lantern Ring. [NOTE: A dissenting Guardian, believing that Guy has suffered permanent brain-damage, re-commissioned Hal as a Green Lantern to help steer Guy toward the right path.] He explains how he has been deputized to help Guy Gardner with his mission. While some Guardians believe that death at the hands of the Anti-Monitor is inevitable, others believe the answer to be destroying the Anti-Monitor's birthplace, on one of the moons of Qward. When Jordan convinces Stewart and Katma Tui of his plight, he and Gardner are allowed passage to the antimatter universe of Qward. After they've left, Sinestro appears with a warning from the Guardians themselves. The moon of Qward must not be destroyed. To prevent its destruction, he will have to team up with Stewart and Katma to help save it, or else it could mean the end of the very universe![43]

Stewart is able to use displaced energy produced from contact between Green and Yellow energies to propel himself to Oa to confront the Guardians much faster than he would normally would. Upon arrival, he finds assembled the remaining members of the Green Lantern Corps, including Tomar-Re, K'ryssma, Apros, Arisia Rrab, Ch'p and Xax. Although it is discovered that Sinestro had been lying to gain access to Oa, the danger he explained was very real. The Central Power Battery, speaking through Tomar-Re explains that the destruction of the Anti-Monitor's birthplace will remove his tethers to the mortal world, and in effect make him much more powerful than he had ever been before. The Guardians launch a counter-strike composed of all active members of the Corps to stop Guy Gardner's team in the Antimatter Universe. When Gardner's villains and the rest of the Corps meet, they clash and there's a gigantic battle in the Antimatter Universe! As Gardner prepares to destroy the Anti-Monitors' birthplace, he is confronted by Stewart, the last man standing between him and the unintentional destruction of the universe. They engage in a battle of wills, and Stewart, the more experienced Lantern, wins with sheer power.[44]

Unaware that also in the Anti-matter universe another battle rages on. It is in this battle that the Anti-Monitor is defeated once-and-for-all.[45] As the Anti-Monitor dies, somehow all fighting are able to sense it, and the combat is ceased, while the fighters collect their dead and injured, simply glad that the Crisis is over. Tomar-Re dies, and his Ring is passed on to John Stewart, who is able to give the ring he's been using (originally the ring of Abin Sur) back to Hal Jordan. Hal Jordan becomes an official Green Lantern once more – He emerges as the primary Green Lantern of the New Earth.[46]

Powers and Abilities

The ring is ineffective against anything colored yellow.[47]

It must also be recharged at Green Lantern's power battery every 24 hours to remain functional.

Justice League Team Members

  • Like the recreation of the Golden Age Flash for the Silver Age version, Schwartz wanted a new version of Green Lantern to have a different secret identity, origin, and personality than his 1940s counterpart. He enlisted writer John Broome and artist Gil Kane, who in 1959 would reintroduce Green Lantern to the world in Showcase vol. 1, #22 (October, 1959).[48]

  • Hal Jordan was developed after an initial concept by editor Julius Schwartz and loosely modeled after actor Paul Newman, who was then neighbor of Green Lantern artist Gil Kane.[49]
  • Peter David wrote Hal Jordan into a Marvel Comics issue. He is seen in a psychiatric hospital shortly after Zero Hour as a mental patient, with the events of that story taking place inside his mind.[50]

86.3 Video Concatenate or Join

20210725 Two mp4 video files can be joined using ffmpeg with the concat filter. This filter expects the argument to -i to name a text file which will list the files to be concatenated, like concat.txt

file 'input1.mp4'
file 'input2.mp4'

Using -f to identify the filter as concat and -c to identify the encoder for the video and audio as a copy (i.e., no re-encoding).

$ ffmpeg -f concat -i concat.txt -c copy joined.mp4

Other options include using mencoder.

$ mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy video1.avi video2.avi -o video.avi

To join multiple avi files into one big avi file we can utilise avimerge:

$ avimerge -i a1.avi a2.avi a3.avi -o a.avi

I have found this latter approach to get the audio of the second file out of sync!

Home Forums Sydney Listings Investment Philosophy – what are your principles around investing?

    Joe WehbeJoe Wehbe

    Hey everyone!

    Joe Wehbe here. I’ve noticed that when people want to invest they jump right to a vehicle, such as property or shares. When doing this, they skim over strategy, which is vitally important. Not only that, but strategy comes straight from goals, which come from values and what is important to you.

    In the Sydney Listings Academy, I believe the most important modules are on the “Sydney Listings Investment Philosophy”. 9 principles are suggested here. Just because we have suggested them, does not mean they’re final.

    What are your principles? Do you have any? Which of ours do you agree with and more importantly, disagree with? Discuss below Academics!

Summer in the Harney Basin
Summer in the Harney Basin

Fire Update

A new lighting caused fire surfaced last week, the Black Butte Fire (about 10,000 acres as of the morning of Aug 9) in the southern Malheur Forest to add to the long list of fires around the west. There are lots of online resources for tracking fires and fire conditions. Here's just a few among many:
Inciweb for any fire around the U.S. and for the Southern Malheur Forest the U.S. Forest Service Facebook and Twitter feeds are keeping up to date information.
The Burns Interagency Fire Zone is constantly posting helpful fire and smoke info and resources as well. Find them on Facebook and Instagram at @burnsinteragencyfirezone.

Summer in the Harney Basin

Summer in the Harney Basin can be an enjoyable time as folks get outside to recreate and enjoy the warmer weather. However, the summertime is also a busy one for ranchers and farmers who are moving cows, raising crops and cutting hay in preparation for the colder months. Wildlife rear young, birds nest and fish are simply trying to beat the heat to survive the warmer temperatures. READ MORE.
Pictured: Idaho Fescue growing in the Harney Basin.

Radio Interview: What is happening on the landscape?

Listen to an interview with High Desert Partnership Monitoring Coordinator Kaylee Littlefield about the work her and her crew of four high school and college students are doing this summer. LISTEN. (The interview begins at about 2 minutes in, on the downloadable audio file.)
Pictured below: Range Scientist Dustin Johnson and Kaylee's summer crew of Camille Torres, Carter Lardy, Danika Piotrowski and Tea recanzone along with Garrett Johnson. Dustin is training the crew on the protocols for mapping and monitoring at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge for a Reed Canarygrass project.

Partnership Fosters Restoration Using Native Seeds to Mitigate Wildfire Risk

One of the reasons some wildfires turn into megafires in the Great Basin is because invasive annual grasses essentially create a carpet of fuel. One way to thwart such wildfires is to replace those invasive annual grasses with native plants that green up in the spring and stay green. EcoSource is a non-profit that collects, cleans, produces, and stores genetically appropriate native plant seeds. READ MORE.

Why do some of our children have trouble retaining words even after they’ve seen them multiple times?

Me again :)

Dear Journal,

Well, after that last posting, and a good cry. I feel a little better. I’m also feeling really tired. I stupidly stay up way too late, I still have figured this one out. I guess I mainly just don’t like going to bed and laying there awake thinking of junk. Junk i’ve got to do, or the “Shoulding” on myself about things I should have done, or just being scared, or what ever. It’s always something.

So, anyway, maybe if I write in here every night before I go to bed it will help me to feel like someone is actually there listening, and that I have to talk with, and I won’t have to feel guilty for making someone feel bad also.

Ok off to bed now, I’m sleepy.

Gratitude in $140 zucchini bread

For part one of the story, which describes how I came to be in the emergency room on a Saturday night, click here.

I knew it would be a long wait when I arrived at the emergency room.

Several people were in the waiting room. Most of them had the look of people who had been there for a little while.

I walked up to the window.

The attendant looks up.

“What happened?” she asks.

“I’m an idiot,” I reply.

I gave her the required information and settled back into a seat in the waiting room. Minutes later, my name was called. I thought I would get lucky. After all, if it bleeds it leads, right?

Not exactly, the triage nurse took my vital signs and asked what happened. I told her I was an idiot. She gave me some gauze and kindly asked if I wanted to keep my blood-stained wash cloth. I assured her I didn’t and she sent me back to the waiting room.

“You’ll probably go in before me,” a man says, testily.

He then explains, in colorful terms, how he’s been waiting with a temperature of 100-something. He’s agitated. Once or twice, he gets up to challenge the desk attendant, demanding to see the person in charge.

Finally, in another flurry of colorful language, he storms out the door.

The faces in the waiting room suggested it was a welcome departure.

I turned over a magazine on a table next to me. Haitian faces looked back at me from the cover.

I remember faces like these. I remember seeing them in a hospital far more crowded and far less sanitary than this one. I remember our host telling us that the people had been waiting for hours and would be there for hours more.

My mind starts racing. What if I had sliced my finger in Haiti? How long would I wait for someone to stitch it up? Would I even try to get it examined at the hospital? After all, who could afford it? If I didn’t, the chances were pretty good that I’d get an infection due to the lack of clean water. Could a cut that requires four stitches in the United States be a cut that results in amputation in Haiti because of such infections?

Does the agitated man realize how blessed he is to be in a hospital in this country no matter what the wait? Do I?

Eventually, a nurse calls me back. I settle in on the hospital bed.

“What happened?” the nurse asks.

“I’m an idiot,” I reply.

“But a grateful one,” I think.

Rete Dafne

A nationwide association to provide a network of assistance, information and protection to victims of crime in Italy.

  • App for data management

  • Interactive Map

  • Data Visualisation

  • Web Site

  • Content Strategy

Development of digital information and monitoring systems that can be consulted at both public and private level, unified by a solid and nationally recognizable image.

Rete Dafne was born in 2017,  made up of a network of collaborations between local administrations, health agencies, judicial authorities, law enforcement agencies, private social associations whose purpose is to care for people that have suffered as a result of a crime.

  • Brand Identity

Logo Design and coordinated image: to create printed information materials, convention schedules, posters and infographics for annual reports.

Daphne is a character from Greek mythology. The myth of Daphne highlights the possibility of escaping violence and transforming himself, keeping intact his own integrity and beauty. The logo comes from a previous version revised in a conceptual key(is this the right word?). The study of the central lettering is inspired by a tree trunk, a symbol of solidity and rebirth. The logo is designed to allow derivations that can be used by all the nodes of the Network in the territory and allow them to use their brand as an associated hub.

  • App for data management

A digital system for data management to collect data from victims, to monitor the assistance and care received, to analyse significant data at a national scale.

The app was created not only to record the data of the victims but also to create and manage the path of assistance and care that was provided at the beginning of the treatment of the person assisted. The activities are managed by different departments, each of which will use the application from a simple smartphone to create a calendar of activities and assign ratings and reviews on the progress of the path designed specifically for the person.

The Software is available for all the network hubs currently active in the national territory: Turin, Florence, Cagliari, Sassari. Each hub manages an internal cooperation of public and private organisations such as: hospitals, psychologists, lawyers, and associations that are interconnected through the application to assist and treat a person who is a victim of crime.

The system is secure and respects the privacy of data through different levels of permission assigned to different users. The highest level of permission is the administrator, Rete Dafne Italia, who can have access to the whole statistical reports studied in different levels of detail: from the national overview to the results of the single service active in the path of the treatment.

  • Interactive map

Thanks to Google questionnaires received from all over Italy, it was possible to process the data to create a map of the support services in Italy as well as cataloguing all their information and statistical data.

Data Studio is a Google tool used to create infographic dashboards used, in this case, to read and process the data of a spreadsheet and create an interactive map to extract the data of services active in each region. The level of detail goes up to the core of the services active in a given province.

The software was chosen for a very important feature: the report can be shared and consulted without the need for setup. A simple link is shared to make the data accessible. Data is updated in real time with the adding of new records into the source file. The source file is a Google data sheet that is also available for editing by multiple connected users.

Data Analysis, Data Conversion and Data Studio Project Design

  • Data Visualisation

A software application developed specifically for the project was able to process the data of an Excel sheet and insert them into a graphical template. 238 data sheets, tables and dynamic images were rendered in 10 minutes.

Matomatic is a software that can render data from a database into graphical and infographic results. Originally designed to render data and infographic animations, the software has been adapted to export to PDF document format.

A Portion of My Woodblock Print Collection

“Seven days of rhomboid pain makes one weak”. Source: Wikipedia

For the second page listing my collection.

It’s been a crazy month for me: Spring Break (which was nice), then I blew out my shoulder from printing too much (I didn’t know I had rhomboid muscles… but after a week of intense pain, I sure do NOW!), and had an unrelated surgery from which I am now recouping with the help of some rather heavy meds. So, Dear Reader, I trust that I remain coherent…

Anyway, enough of that. Around 1993, before I mustered the courage to make woodblock prints, I collected them. It was great to see the prints in a reference book, but looking at the real thing has taught me a lot about color and printing techniques. As most of you know, woodblock prints are even more beautiful in the hand, the richness of the colors, embossing, and the details really come alive.

I believe these prints are first editions ranging from 1836 to 2003 and cover ukiyo-e > shin hanga > sosaku hanga movements >  the modern day. It’s admittedly heavy with Hiroshi Yoshida who’s  “My Main Man”. Don’t worry, Hasui- you’re cool too…

You KNOW dank memes are dead if Tanuki is using ’em.

So this is March’s entry. I hope the next article will have a bit more content- but until then, I do hope you enjoy the selection below.

Also, here is a link to Tanuki Print’s Pinterest Woodblock Image Encyclopedia.

ABOVE: Kawase Hasui, “Benten Shrine”, 1929 oban. I remember walking here south of Ueno Park.
ABOVE: Utagawa Kunisada “若菜姫 and 鳥山秋作 (Toriyama Akisaku and Princess Wakana)”, 1853 both oban. I was told that this looks like a typical marraige.
ABOVE: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, “Rainy moon – Kojima Takanori”, from the series One hundred Aspects of the Moon, 1889 oban. The wiped moon is really well done.
ABOVE: Published by Isetatsu “Cat School”, Yanaka, Tokyo oban. Research told me that this was wrapping paper???
ABOVE: Katsushika Hokusai “Mikiri no Fuji” from One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku hyakkei),1834 chuban. Hokusai was a genius depicting Fuji in a myriad of ways.
ABOVE: Katsuyuki Nishijima, “Fuzuki: Tea House in July” 1998 ogata-chuban. We purchased this in Kyoto in 2002.
ABOVE: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, “Minamoto no Yorimitsu Attacking a Ground Spider” from the Thirty-six Ghosts series, 1889-1892 oban. Yoshitoshi was said to be a murderer and was locked up in an insane asylum.
ABOVE: Hiroshi Yoshida, “Glipse of Ueno Park”, 1937 oban. This print required the most impressions of any of Hiroshi’s prints- a total of 100 colors!
ABOVE: Hiroshi Yoshida, “Court of the Lions, Alhambra”, 1928 or 1955 koban. An exquisite print from Ben Blakeney’s memorial book.
ABOVE: Hiroshi Yoshida, “Kameido Bridge”, 1927 oban. Horizontal baren suji in the water is a really nice touch.
ABOVE: Hiroshi Yoshida, “Plum Gateway”, 1935 oban. Love the subdued colors.
ABOVE: Hiroshi Yoshida, “In a Temple Yard”, 1935 oban. Anyone else find the proportions a bit strange?
ABOVE: Hiroshi Yoshida, “Himeji Castle”, 1928 oban. Evening version.
ABOVE: Toshi Yoshida, “Pagoda in Kyoto”, 1942 chuban. Delicate sky.
ABOVE: Toshi Yoshida, “Pine of the Friendly Garden” 1980 naga-ban. There is actually a third print missing for my set.
ABOVE: Toshi Yoshida, “Bamboo of the Friendly Garden” 1980 naga-ban. I think that there is a missing plum tree to the right.
ABOVE: Toshi Yoshida, “Myoko Hot Spring” 1955 oban. The orange sky really works IMO.
ABOVE: Kawase Hasui, “Lake Kugushi”, 1920 oban. From the from the series “Souvenirs of Travel”- a REALLY rare pre-Kanto earthquake print.
ABOVE: Katsuyuki Nishijima, “Asahi (the Morning Sun)”, 1999 slightly over-sized oban. I love the highlighted clouds.
ABOVE: Shoson (Kozon), “Wild Geese”, 1926 oban.
ABOVE: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, “Ishiyama Moon”, 1889 oban. Another from his 100 Moons series.
ABOVE: Kiyoshi Saito, “Temple Gate”, 1955 oban. A lotta gomazuri.
ABOVE: Paul Binnie, “Torii at Miyajima” 2003 slightly over-sized oban. I got this print from Paul himself- nice guy!
ABOVE: Gekko, “Calligraphy Performance at Flower Mountain”, 1897 oban. My wife is a calligrapher, so it hangs near her desk.
ABOVE: Kiyotada Torii, “Uwanari” From Kabuki’s 18 Famous Plays, 1896 oban. I like the scary hannya above and the fearless-looking guy below.

Oh, and in case you were wondering- here’s a listing of Japanese woodblock print sizes:

A Very Tanuki Christmas!

So, some of you know about tanuki statues– (here’s a brief description)- you see them in front of Japanese restaurants and bars. They’re kinda gimmicky in a charming way.

I have a friend that I’ve known for over 30 years who traded me this fellow. He’s had it since he was stationed in Japan during the mid-60s and (as far as I can tell) is stoneware from Shigaraki (ESE from Kyoto).

I think this one’s a relatively handsome example (about 19″ tall) and not quite as ‘pie-eyed’ and cutesy as some touristy tanuki statues (there are female ones, anime ones, hello kitty ones, etc.).

I hope that he (obviously) will bestow luck upon his new namesake business.

Tanuki Printing: My Set-up/Hovel

1. blocks 2. water and misc. brushes 3.printing brushes (maru bake) 4. pigment storage 5. more blocks 6. pigment pots 7. barens 8. carving tools 9. bamboo skins takenokawa.
Not shown: sharkskin, washi, print drying press

I have very limited space to print as you can see. It’s doubles as my office at the university and is a mess most of the time. I hope that someday soon, I can locate to a studio where I am not falling over stuff- or stuff falling on top of me.

As you can see, I have pretty much all I need except space and time… I am presently building a forced-air print drying press (from a conversation I had in Hawaii with the gracious Paul Binnie)- details to come on that [UPDATE: here is the print dryer post]…

Tanuki Senjafudas!

I’ve always loved senjafuda. Senjafuda (in Japanese- literally “thousand shrine cards”) are taken by travelers and pilgrims where they are pasted on rafters and posts. They don’t look as junky as you might expect- much better than graffiti IMO.

Making and collecting senjafuda (some are quite spectacular) is very popular thing to do in Japan. As an artist, they’re very convenient to make- you have some left-over wood? Perfect. Some extra paper scraps? A piece here a piece there, and voilà!

I plan to use this as a demonstration and simple print for my printmaking students to start mokuhanga. The idea is to print around 200 (this test batch is only 14) to bring and give away at my IMC2017 Mokuhanga Conference talk at the University of Hawaii in late Sept. Shhh! it’s a secret surprise…

Technically, it’s obviously a 3-color print- actually 5 impressions as the red and black are over-printed. I took a hint from Mokuhankan’s print parties in Asakusa and printed the black keyblock last- that keeps the lighters colors clean! Normally, the black keyblock is printed first, but sometimes the black bleeds into the later lighter colored blocks resulting in a dingy mess.

As Thomas Edison said: “There are no rules here- we’re trying to get things done”.

Incidentally, I’m using ‘black hole’ sumi or sumi no kaori (literally “scent of carbon”?)- anyway it’s velvety-smooth-nano-vanta-fiber-crow-in-a-coalmine-event-horizon bahahalackkkk! If you’re interested in buying this glorious stuff, the only place I could find is a calligraphy shop in France of all places. See: Comptoir de Secritures

Tanuki Prints sighting- à Paris!

I received something wonderfully unexpected- apparently, our intrepid mascot is a world traveller. A past art student of mine, Caroline Welsch carried a Tanuki Prints sticker to Paris on her trip and was nice enough to position him, well, you know where this is.

Tanuki is good luck, that is, if you have a drink with him, Caroline!

FYI, for every print purchased, you’ll receive a Tanuki Prints sticker- I’d love to see him travel from each and every corner of the globe!

I know he’ll be in Japan come May.

42 Letters Name of God

By Uri Raz

This is one of God's many names, mentioned in the Zohar and in the writings of Rabbi Moshe Cordoviro and Rabbi Abraham Abulafia next to the 72 fold name of God. In the Zohar, the 72 fold name of God and the 42 letters name of God are often discussed together, and described as a complementary.

An interesting reference is in the Zohar on the last chapters of Exodos, where the breastpiece, the Hoshen, is discussed along with the Urim and Thummim. The breastpiece is said to be engraved with the 42 letters name of god and embossed with the names of the 12 tribes, with the 42 letters name of God causing light or darkness to appear in the letters spelling the tribe names.

This brings out an interesting astrological connection - the 42 letters name of God is usually divided into 7 names connected to the 7 planets, while the 72 fold name is usually divided into 12 groups of six names, with the 12 groups connected to the 12 tribes and 12 zodiacal sign.

As to the origin of the 42 letters name of God, the sources are divided. Some say it's the acronym of a prayer called 'Ana beCoah' (so called after the first two words of the prayer), attributed to Rabbi Nehunya Ben Hakana. Others say the name is the result of permutations on the first 42 letters of Genesis, and that the prayer was written so that it's acronym would be the 42 letters name of God, a common enough practice in Judaism. Having seen the various permutations used, I'm a supporter of the the first version.

The Hebrew text of the prayer is as following -

תפילת אנא בכוח

Spelling of the and pronounciations of the 7 names
Letter names in English Pronounciation Hebrew spelling
Aleph Bet Gimmel Yod Tav Tzaddi Avgidatz 42 letters name of God
Qoph Resh Ayin Shin Teth Nun Kra Stan
Nun Gimmel Daleth Yod Kaph Shin Nagdichash
Beith Teth Resh Tzaddi Tav Gimmel Vtartztag
Cheth Qoph Beith Teth Nun Ayin ChakVatna'
Yod Gimmel Lamed Peh Zayin Qoph  Yglfzak
Shin Koph Vav Tzaddi Yod Tav Shkutzit

Due to reasons having to do with the nature of the Hebrew language, the consonants for the names are fixed in stone, but there is a variance as to the vowels. For those who would like to pronounce the names, I bring Rabbi Moses Cordoviro's version.

Following is a translation of the prayer by Rabbin Nosson Scherman in a Siddur published by Mesorah Publication -

A We beg you! with the strength of your right hand's greatness, untie the bundled sins.
B Accept the prayer of your nation; strengthen us, purify us, O awesome one.
C Please, O strong one - those who foster your oneness, guard them like the pupil of an eye.
D Bless them, purify them, show them pity, may your righteousness always recompense them.
E Powerful Holy One, with your abundant goodness guide your congregation.
F One and only Exalted One, turn to Your nation, which proclaims Your holiness.
G Accept our entreaty and hear our cry, O knower of mysteries.
[whisper the following line:] Blessed is the Name of His Glorious Kingdom for all eternity.

[Thanks to ArtScroll/Mesorah Publication for the permission to use the above quote.]

The last line is not a part of the prayer proper, but rather a blessing added due to the use of one of God's names.

Anyway, there are 42 letters, which are traditionally split into 7 names of 6 letters each, as in the image on the right, and those are attributed in various texts to various septenaries, such as planets, a commonly used set of is brought in the following table -

Attributions to the 42 Letters Name of God
Double letter Beith Gimmel Daleth Kaph Peh Resh Tav
Planet Saturn Jupiter Mars Sun Venus Mercury Moon
Day Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednsday Thursday Friday Saturday
Openings Right eye Left eye Right ear Left ear Right nostril Left nostril Mouth
Permutation Life vs Death Peace vs War Wisdom vs Folly Beuty vs Ugliness Richness vs Poverty Seed vs Desolation Government vs Slavery
Sephirah Chesed Geburah Tiphereth Netzach Hod Yesod Malkuth

How are income and expenses characterized for purposes of the passive loss rules?Certain income and expenses of a passive activity are not considered passive activity income or expenses in determining passive activity income and loss: income from interest, dividends, annuities, or royalties not derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business; expenses allocable to such income; and gain or loss not derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business that is attributable to the disposition of property either producing such income or held for investment. An interest in a passive activity is not treated as property held for investment. Income from the investment of working capital is not derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business.IRC Sec. 469(e).Interest deductions attributable to passive activities are subject to limitation under the passive loss rule, not under the investment interest limitation.IRC Sec. 163(d)(4)(D).In order to prevent taxpayers from defeating the purpose of the passive loss rules by structuring transactions to produce passive income from what are essentially active businesses or portfolio investments, Treasury was given very broad regulatory authority for carrying out the provisions of IRC Section 469. The IRC specifies that regulations may: provide that certain items of gross income will not be taken into account in determining income and loss from an activity, require that net income or gain from a limited partnership or other passive activity not be treated as passive income or loss, and allocate interest expense among activities.IRC Sec. 469(l). In the following instances, part or all of the income from a passive activity may be treated as income that is not from a passive activity: (1) the individual participates in such passive activity for more than 100 hours during the year, (2) less than 30 percent of the property used in a rental activity is depreciable property, (3) there is net interest income from a passive equity-financed lending activity, (4) rental of property developed by the taxpayer commenced within 12 months of disposition of such property, (5) the taxpayer rents property to a trade or business in which the taxpayer materially participates, and (6) the taxpayer acquires certain royalty interests in intangible property previously developed by a passthrough entity.Temp. Treas. Reg. §1.469-2T(f), Treas. Reg. §1.469-2(f).If gain is recognized in a taxable year beginning after 1986 with respect to an activity sold or exchanged before 1987, the gain is treated as passive if the activity would have been passive had the passive loss rule been in effect in the year the activity was sold or exchanged and in all succeeding years.TRA ’86 Sec. 501(c)(4) as amended by TAMRA ’88, Sec. 1005(a)(10).The Service has issued temporary and proposed regulations that provide complex tracing rules allocating interest expense (other than qualified residence interest) on the basis of the use of the proceeds of the underlying debt.Temp. Treas. Reg. §1.163-8T. (See Q 7924.) Once allocated, interest on proceeds used to purchase a passive activity is taken into account in determining income or loss from the activity. Characterization of interest on proceeds used to purchase a partnership or S corporation interest depends on whether the activity is passive to the partner or shareholder.Ann. 87-4, 1987-3 IRB 17.Income from discharge of indebtedness is generally characterized as income from a passive activity to the extent that the debt is allocated to passive activity expenditures.Rev. Rul. 92-92, 1992-25 CB 103.

2021 USA Hockey Women’s National Festival Set For Aug. 5-13 In Blaine, Minnesota

By USA Hockey, 07/30/21, 9:45AM EDT

Event To Serve are Pre-Camp for U.S. Women’s National Team Ahead of World Championship

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Hockey announced today the 84 players who have been invited to the 2021 USA Hockey Women’s National Festival, which will take place Aug. 5-13 at the Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota.

The Festival is an annual event that brings together the top female players in the U.S., from the U18 level to the national team.

“While this Festival will be a little bit different, it’s great to get our top players together to interact, train and scrimmage,” said Katie Million, director of the women’s national team program for USA Hockey.

2021 Roster

The Festival will serve as a pre-camp for the U.S. Women’s National Team, which will depart Blaine on August 10 for Calgary, Alberta, and the 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championship, which will commence on Aug. 20.

Typically, the U.S. and Canada faceoff in a three-game series with teams at the U18 and U22 levels following the Festival, but because of COVID restrictions, that will not be the case this year.

“We’re still not quite back to normal yet,” said Million, “and we’ve made some adjustments, including not having as many U23 players part of this camp as we typically do. And while we won’t have the U18 and U22 Series against Canada, we’re excited for our players to compete against each other in a game setting.”

Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years In Prison

The long-running trial of WikiLeaks informer Pfc. Bradley Manning has come to an end. A military judge sentenced Manning to 35 years in prison. On July 30, Manning was found not guilty of ‘aiding the enemy,’ but was still found guilty on 19 lesser counts, including six counts of espionage.

Manning faced up to 90 years in prison. He apologized for his actions in front of the court. As he has already spent more than 3 years in prison and was given 112 days of credit for harsh treatment, his stay in prison will be shorter than 35 years.

He is no longer considered as a private first class as judge and colonel Denise R. Lind reduced him to private E-1, the lowest rank of private. According to the New York Times, prosecutors requested 60 years in prison in their closing arguments in order to discourage any potential future leak.

Most of the sentencing phase was spent trying to determine whether Manning’s actions had had damaging consequences on international relations between American diplomats and foreign officials. The case will now move to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.

In 2009, Manning had access to multiple databases of classified information while serving for the U.S. Army in Iraq. He leaked thousands of diplomatic cables, a video of a Baghdad airstrike, the Iraq War Logs and Afghan War Logs and field reports to the organization WikiLeaks. These documents were later sent to multiple newspapers, including the Guardian and the New York Times, between April and November 2010. The impressive leak led to many revelations on American diplomatic activities.

As expected, Manning’s lawyer justified the leak by arguing that the public had the right to know what was happening in Iraq. Manning admitted as well that he had “hurt the United States.” The American Civil Liberties Union condemned the decision.
