Prophet Lut then stretched out his palms toward the sky and pleaded, “My Lord, help me against the corrupting people. While Lut and his daughters were devout Muslims, his wife continued to be a non-believer. ![]() The only Muslim home in Sodom belonged to Lut, however, not all of its residents were Muslims. Not a single person in Sodom had converted to Islam despite years and years of preaching. They then warned Prophet Lut: “If you cease not, O Lut! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!” After hearing Lut’s statement, the men and women of Sodom were furious, and they started talking among themselves about how to expel Lut from their city. Prophet Lut then warned the people of Sodom of a harsh penalty from Allah and said that he would never consent to participate in such conduct.” I am among those who strongly disapprove of your activity (of sodomy)”, he declared. ” No, you are a transgressing people!” Prophet Lut’s (A.S.) Warning “Do you approach men from among the worlds and abandon the women your Lord has made for you to be your wives?” he said. Then Prophet Lut brought up the subject of homosexuality and let them know that it was unethical behavior. My reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.” So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.” The men of the city started speculating among themselves, perplexed: “This man has entered our city, and he is urging us to stop what we are doing? He must be benefiting from this, right? Prophet Lut responded, “No reward do I ask of you for it. Soon, Prophet Lut went to approach the People of Sodom, the city’s men, and urged them to remember their Lord: “Will you not fear and submit to Allah? Verily! To you, I am a trustworthy Messenger. Despite the fact that he was aware of how corrupt his country was at the time, he maintained his faith in them and wished that they would soon see their error and come back to the path of righteousness, come back to Islam. Having accepted the Prophethood and his new duty, Prophet Lut quickly moved to Sodom and started to plan how to convert his people to Islam. They indulged in these immoral activities in the open, spoke candidly about them, and were incredibly proud of their behavior. This nation accepted and participated in this despicable conduct on a widespread basis. The people of Sodom were the first to experience or conduct homosexuality prior to Sodom, no one in human history had ever done so. However, homosexuality is the most infamous act of evil performed by this corrupt country. Travelers going through Sodom were frequently sidetracked, robbed of their possessions, and occasionally brutally murdered. However, Sodom was also the most criminally active and corrupt city of the period. Travelers, traders, and merchants flocked to the prosperous city of Sodom for trade.

"Ratchet's weapons can shift, cut, bomb, and transmute. "Moreover, constraining the theme of weaponry stifled the creativity the franchise was known for. "Think FernGully, Pocahontas, or Krystal from Star Fox," said Staurt. Initially, the idea was for her to be a "survivalist beastmaster." However, this was soon scrapped as many felt that the idea of a nature-loving female lead was a bit of a "trope." ![]() In addition to chatting about her name, Staurt also touched on the gameplay ideas the team had for Rivet. Thankfully, the name Rivet was eventually suggested and, needless to say, it stuck. However, many felt that this name was too 80s, citing Inspector Gadget and Gadget from Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers as examples of the name in other media. Other names for Rivet included Ratchette, but the team decided this was "too diminutive", and it only reduced "her existence to a gender-swapped Ratchet".įinally, the team used the codename of Gadget for a period of time. "At a time where story treatments were being rapidly iterated on, it was hard to tell what dimension you were in, but also which Ratchet you were talking about." "For example: 'Ratchet needs to rescue Clank from Ratchet, who doesn't trust Ratchet and has a long history battling Nefarious,'" explained Staurt. However, this soon made the game very confusing, so this idea was ultimately scrapped. After all, she and Ratchet are technically dimensional counterparts.

Let’s break it down on-by-one and take a closer look. There could be other small pieces moving in the deal, but the essence is trading Sexton and a small deal, perhaps Dylan Windler, to the Houston Rockets for Eric Gordon. We looked at the Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic recently, and today we highlight an option first suggested by Dan Favale of the Hardwood Knocks podcast. In that vein we have been looking at some of the opportunities that could be out there for Sexton, a team that benefits from bringing him on and can offer a trade to the Cavs that would make it worth their while. Would a deal with the Rockets for Eric Gordon work for the Cavs? The Cleveland Cavaliers and Collin Sexton are far apart, so a sign and trade is possible. ![]() Therefore it makes sense for the Cavs and Sexton to explore sign and trade opportunities that could land Sexton more money and on a team that wants to showcase him more than the Cavs. Sexton played just 48 games last season due to a nagging hamstring injury. The Knicks are desperate for a starting point guard with Elfrid Payton, Derrick Rose and. While a number of good players make a salary in that range, the kinds of players that Sexton compares himself to make significantly more. Collin Sexton is a prime trade candidate for the Utah Jazz ahead of training camp. Sexton averaged 24.3 points and 4.4 assists last season and shot a decent 37.1 percent from 3-point range. The Cavs offered Sexton a three-year, $40 million deal. Tale of the tape Trae Young vs Collin Sexton I just wanted to win Lance Stephenson s hilarious response when asked why he blew in LeBron James ear in Game 5. This time, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley dropped a new trade idea involving the Jazz, dealing with the Charlotte Hornets to acquire G Terry Rozier by trading away G Collin Sexton and minor. It’s possible that Sexton can find that opportunity, but it looks less and less likely it would come with the Cleveland Cavaliers. We'd thought there were hundreds of writers dying for the.

If you're choosing to dine before axe throwing, we recommend that you allow yourself an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half for dining.

Our intention is that guests will have a full hour of axe throwing. We reserve the extra 15 minutes for guests to sign waivers, receive instruction or simply as a buffer if we need it. We only take reservations for 1 hour time frames, which is actually 1 hour and 15 minutes. We recommend that you make a separate reservation that starts right when your axe throwing reservation ends, so you have a place to either dine, finish any food you might've purchased or just to hang out longer.

He'd hide extra credit in all of his tests, which were the longest I've ever taken (usually 10-13 pages). We'd cover cartography, for instance, and our test would be to draw a book of maps, using everything we learned. ![]() His classes would cover the stuff that we were required to learn, but the ways he'd go about it were what made it so much fun, and more educational. his personality, was kind, and generous, yet he demanded nothing less than my best efforts. That'd have to be my sixth grade science/social studies teacher. Ended up with a C+, because I know my history, no thanks to her.Īs for my favorite teacher, I have three, but I'll pick the one who taught me the most. I would have failed her class, but I sat down, took the final in 20 minutes, and made a 98, because I missed one question. She'd also have me miss lunch on several occasions to make up a particularly difficult assignment. Thing is, she also bogged me down with extra homework to "get me caught up" but she liked to give me late grades on most of it, since it took me so long, as I had four other classes to play catch up in. I ended up having two days to finish a week and a half long project (failed miserably, ended up doing a tiny portion and turning it in, in a nice binder of course.) and bombing two tests. I hated my world civ teacher, because, when I had to have a lymph node drained in an emergency procedure, and had been out of school for approxmately 15 days prior to it (these days were spaced apart, and were for doctor's appointments to try to figure out what the hell was wrong with me.) I missed a week of school straight, and she decided to assign a major project and give two tests in a week. That'd have to be my high school World Civ teacher (she was even worse then my chem teacher). The last time I saw her she was walking around Kings wearing a floor length coat that appeared to be made of tin foil, her bowling shoes poking proudly from beneath the silver coat and the maroon corduroy flares. She pronounced 'verb' as 'WERB' consistently and nobody had the heart to correct her. She'd go passive agressive on people who answered questions wrong. WHEN I AM TEACHER AND I SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, THIS IS THE SUBJUNCTEEVE. Her explanation of the annoying and often confusing French subjunctive: 'OHHHKAY, DE SUBJECTEEVE. A lot of people left her class because she was completely useless as a teacher, but I couldn't bear to leave her, she was just excellent, endlessly entertaining. But she was just so endlessly entertaining. ![]() It's a miracle that I passed her course with exemption marks. 'EEZ IT A PEOPLE, OR A THING? NO, NO, NO! HEETHER MCLEEEELANN, YOU CANNOT TELEPHONE TO THE THING! IT MUST BE A PEOPLE! SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE THE THINGS AND THE PEOPLE!' Dressed always in maroon cord suits and bowling shoes, her grasp of the English language was as tenous as her grip on reality. My favourite was my French grammar tutor for this semester, the fittingly nicknamed Bojanic the Insane. ![]() I turned a Removal of Certificate into a Certificate of Merit. She was extremely nice to me after that, but if I hadn't noticed, I'd have sat the exam and got no mark, and failed first year. Revoked my class certificate without telling me (completely illegal), I had to threaten her stupid job to get it back off her. We fell out after I revealed that my bookmarking system was based entirely on cigarette papers and that I thought Captain Cook was killed by a pterodactyl. ![]() My least favourite is my anthroplogy tutor. ![]() Recently, capacitive touch HATs designed specifically for Raspberry Pi have become available that make it much easier to create an interactive sound box with the Raspberry Pi. ![]() One of the challenges of putting together TalkBoxes was to connect all the wires from the MPR121 breakout board to the Raspberry Pi. In the past, we connected an MPR121 Capacitive touch sensor to a Raspberry Pi to create TalkBox, a DIY communication board for non-verbal users. Some examples of how to do this easily is using a Makey Makey board or a Bare Conductive touch board. Using Pi to create an interactive sound boxĪ really fun activity is playing music using fruit and other conductive things (even humans)! You can do this by connecting the fruit to a computer using a touch sensor that in effect treats them as a key on the keyboard, making it possible to activate sounds when they are touched. See my previous post or the official Raspberry Pi website on how to setup your Pi. This post assumes that you have a Raspberry Pi B+ setup and connected (either to a monitor or running in headless mode). In this post, I will describe my experience using Raspberry Pi with a touch sensor to create an interactive sound box. You have to make sure that your script has execution privileges (set them with chmod) and you are set! In this file, you specify your icon, path, …: Depending on your needs you might or might not need to call from a terminal.Ī final bonus tip (thanks to the information here)! If you would like to make a desktop shortcut with an icon that you can double click to start your program, you need to create a file in the Desktop directory: The last command specifies that I want my script to be called from a terminal. So it will look something like this: -profile -desktop -profile -e /home/pi/Foad/myProgramLaunch.sh In this file you have to add your particular program path to the end of the list. In Raspbian Jessie, you want to change the autostart file in the. There are many forum posts about where and how to change files to make this happen but it is important that you locate and change the right file for your particular setup. If you want your script to run at the beginning (with no graphical support), please see my previous post here. I particularly wanted the program to run once the GUI is loaded. ![]() The next interesting challenge was to run my custom python code (or the shell script running it) on startup. In case your RPi Zero cannot use the display, comment out the added lines above and also copy the nf file form the HDMI folder to the X11 folder and everything should work on startup. Note: This might cause a problem if you plan to use a Raspberry Pi Zero. Sudo cp /home/pi/displays/TFT/nf /etc/X11/ Sudo cp /home/pi.displays/HDMI/nf /etc/X11/ Then add these lines to the script: if (/usr/bin/tvservice -s | /bin/egrep 'HDMI|DVI) then The solution I came up with involves modifying (or creating if it doesn’t exist) the rc.local file in the /etc/ folder: cd etc One thing to note is to the best of my knowledge, you can’t run the GUI simultaneously on the touch screen and the HDMI TV because the system can’t handle input from two sources. If an HDMI cable was not detected then I wanted the GUI to run on the touchscreen. In any case, the first issue I had to figure out was how to automatically detect if the Pi was connected to the HDMI screen and then run the GUI from there. For implementing my particular GUI (which I will discuss in a future post) I used pygame to interact both with the touch screen and the GPIO pins. I will have more application focused posts in the future (once I actually figure out the rest of my issues!).įor my implementation, I am using a Raspbian Jessie installation. Please note that this is a fairly technical post that is aimed to help others who are running into similar challenges. So for my particular setup, where I wanted to use a large HDMI screen to write my program and then use the Touch Screen to test it, I needed to figure out a bunch of things that I will explain in this post. |
