Friday Juma KhutbaFebruary 13th, 2026- We are five days away from the blessed month of Ramaḍān and a slight adjustment to the ṣalāt timings will take effect from the start of the month.- The old timetable, revised in the 1990s in consultation with scholars in Toronto, used astronomical twilight for fajr, but its characteristics were closer to false dawn (al-fajr al-kāzib).- With the availability of Shī‘a-based programs from the LEWA Institute in Qum and the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran, a more refined criterion is now possible.- Based on long-term observation, the LEWA Institute's standard is preferred because it aligns with what an average person can discern naturally, in line with sharī‘ah principles.- The Open Fajr Project in Birmingham used 360-degree cameras and over 25,000 images to develop an observation-based fajr timetable accepted by both Shī‘a and Sunni mosques.- For now, out of iḥtiyāṭ, LEWA's fajr time has been adopted for ṣalāt, with imsāk set five minutes earlier to ensure proper fasting.- This adjustment was shared and discussed with scholars of the GTA and reflected in the JCC Ramaḍān guide.- Moving from astronomical fajr to the eschatological fajr, the current global political disorder reflects a world where power operates without moral constraint.- In such times, believers long for the reappearance of Imām al-Mahdi (a) to establish justice and end tyranny, supported by the return of Prophet ‘Īsā (Jesus), who will pray behind him.- The du‘ā from Imām al-Mahdi (a) is divided into a general section and supplications for fifteen segments of society.- After discussing the preamble and themes related to the tongue, heart, belly, and hands, the focus shifted to lowering the gaze.- The misuse of the eyes is a breach of trust, especially in an age of technology where immorality is easily accessible.- The Qur'ānic command in Sūrat al-Nūr (24:30–31) first instructs believing men, then believing women, to lower their gaze and guard their modesty.- Despite scientific advancement, moral decline in gender relations is evident in Western societies, seen in movements like #MeToo and scandals such as the Jeffrey Epstein case.- A ḥadīth qudsī reminds that Allāh has given humans natural restraints—eyelids and lips—to help control the eyes, tongue, and desires from falling into ḥarām.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Seth dives into the intersection of technology and humanity, questioning whether we're losing our essence in the digital age. He shares a thought-provoking monologue on the importance of being human, referencing President Nixon's words on purpose and the unhappiest people in the world. The conversation takes a turn with a caller's idea to influence Artificial Intelligence (AI) by flooding it with Judeo-Christian values, and a discussion on the impact of screen time on our youth's cognitive abilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when the place teens go to connect becomes a channel for control? We dig into the real dynamics of tech-facilitated dating violence—how it starts, how it spreads across platforms, and how teens, parents, and advocates can disrupt it without demonizing the tools young people love.Joined by Audace Garnett, director of SafetyNet at the National Network to End Domestic Violence, we unpack the core idea that technology isn't the problem—abuse is. Audace brings two decades of survivor-centered expertise to explain how common features like DMs, location sharing, and shared passwords turn into leverage for power and control. We explore the rise of AI-generated intimate images, the emerging “Take It Down” efforts to remove harmful content, and why evidence preservation matters before blocking. You'll hear the warning signs of grooming, the subtle shift from “care” to surveillance, and how social media culture often normalizes stalking and boundary violations as jokes or romance.We also shine a light on the disproportionate impact on Black teen girls and the broader social and historical forces that drive those disparities. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all rules, we share realistic, teen-driven safety planning: privacy checkups, strong passwords and two-factor authentication, location limits, code words, trusted adult networks, and the simple “two-beat pause” before posting or replying. For parents, teachers, and coaches, we offer ways to turn doomscrolling into dialogue—using the very videos teens watch to spot red flags and rebuild media literacy and trust.If you care about a teen in your life—or you're a teen navigating digital relationships—this conversation brings clarity, language, and next steps you can use today.

"Say cheese!" That's what the person behind the camera might shout when they want you to smile for a photo. 2025 marked the 50th anniversary of digital photography. Steve Sasson, inventor of the first digital camera in 1975, told the BBC that it looked like a 'toaster with a lens' – not like the stylish cameras we see today! By 2005, more people were buying digital cameras than film cameras, which meant that a process which used to be slow and laborious, was now quick and easy.“说奶酪！” 当相机后面的人希望你微笑拍照时，他们可能会这么喊。 2025 年是数码摄影诞生 50 周年。 1975 年第一台数码相机的发明者 Steve Sasson 告诉 BBC，它看起来像一个“带镜头的烤面包机”，与我们今天看到的时尚相机不同！ 到 2005 年，购买数码相机的人比购买胶片相机的人多，这意味着过去缓慢而费力的过程现在变得快速而简单。The 2000s brought a snap-happy era, with people now able to take hundreds, even thousands of photos a year. But what they hadn't quite worked out yet was how to store them. Back then, people used a mishmash of hard drives, USB sticks and CDs – physical storage that was at risk of loss or theft. Later came online photo sharing via social media or free online photo galleries where you can upload photos to 'the cloud'. The problem is that if you chose just one of these options for photo storage, such as an old laptop that's now broken, or a social media website that no longer exists, you may have what's called a 'black hole' in your photographic record, with no photos of life in the noughties. So, what's the advice?2000 年代带来了一个热衷于拍照的时代，人们现在每年可以拍摄数百甚至数千张照片。 但他们还没有弄清楚如何存储它们。 当时，人们使用的是硬盘驱动器、USB 记忆棒和 CD 的混合体，这些物理存储存在丢失或被盗的风险。 后来出现了通过社交媒体或免费在线照片库进行在线照片共享，您可以将照片上传到“云端”。 问题是，如果您只选择其中一种照片存储选项，例如一台已经坏了的旧笔记本电脑，或者一个不再存在的社交媒体网站，您的摄影记录中可能会出现所谓的“黑洞”，没有上世纪九十年代生活的照片。 那么，有什么建议呢？After losing an external hard drive with all her family photos, Cathi Nelson set up The Photo Managers, a company which helps people manage their photo collections. They say the best protection is their '3-2-1' rule of photo storage which involves having three copies of each photo, all in different places. One in the cloud, the second on a hard drive, and a third on a drive in a separate location, like someone else's house. If that sounds like too much work, just make sure your smartphone automatically uploads photos to the cloud, and then spare some time once a month to upload those to a hard drive. And if you're someone who takes hundreds of photos per month, it's also a good idea to regularly curate your camera roll – keep the best ones and delete the rest, so you feel more in control.在丢失了装有所有家庭照片的外部硬盘后，Cathi Nelson 成立了 The Photo Managers，这是一家帮助人们管理照片集的公司。 他们表示，最好的保护是照片存储的“3-2-1”规则，即每张照片都有三份副本，并且都位于不同的地方。 一个在云中，第二个在硬盘上，第三个在单独位置的驱动器上，比如别人的房子。 如果这听起来工作量太大，只需确保您的智能手机自动将照片上传到云端，然后每月抽出一些时间将这些照片上传到硬盘即可。 如果您每月拍摄数百张照片，那么定期管理您的相机胶卷也是一个好主意 - 保留最好的照片并删除其余的，这样您会感觉更有掌控力。The key takeaway here is that each storage method has its pitfalls, so it's better to always use two methods over just one in order to have a backup. Online platforms can be shut down, and hard drives can be lost. Just make sure your memories don't fade into the digital black hole.这里的关键要点是，每种存储方法都有其缺陷，因此最好始终使用两种方法而不是仅使用一种方法来进行备份。 在线平台可能会被关闭，硬盘可能会丢失。 只要确保您的记忆不会消失在数字黑洞中即可。

While the production of my Lowdown commentaries is high-tech, I confess that I'm antiquated.I still write each piece in longhand, applying my ballpoint to paper. This has caused bewildered glances from some who see me scribbling away in local coffeeshops and bars. Recently, one fellow sidled up and whispered: “Watch out! If they see you doin' this, they'll haul you off to the Smithsonian.”But we handwriters might not be as obsolete as the key-tappers assume. A fast-spreading grassroots movement is calling for schools to reemphasize the value of writing and printing by hand, instead of being wholly-dependent on machines. Already, 24 states – as varied as Mississippi and California– now require public schools to teach cursive handwriting in third-through fifth grades.This squares with new understanding of how brains absorb information. While keyboards are faster, the slower, more tactile act of handwriting creates longer lasing comprehension of letters – and better retention of the thoughts they convey. Neuroscientists find that rote keystrokes on a computer require little mental engagement, while physically drawing out words and ideas takes coordination of multiple areas of the brain to focus memory, eyes, and fingers on creating a written product.Just writing this piece conjured up a fond remembrance of my early childhood: Sitting on the floor of our home learning to draw the ABCs, both print and cursive, on those lined practice pads. It was both an artistic exercise and the development of a foundational tool for a life of learning.This is Jim Hightower saying… Yes, computer literacy is an indispensable element of today's childhood curriculum --- but so is the richer development of human thinking through putting pen to paper. So let's teach both!PS—Here's a post we did a couple years ago about how Hightower's work goes from handwritten on paper to whooshing through the ether into your inboxes:Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, retired teachers Lisa and Sue tackle a very real condition no one warned us about: Value-losis—the sudden belief that every dish, photo, knickknack, and Precious Moment figurine is priceless (spoiler: it's not).From baby clothes no one wants, to eleven tubs of photos nobody asked for, to the cruel truth about Hummels, Beanie Babies, and Princess Diana collectibles, the ladies dig into why we cling to stuff—and why our kids absolutely do not want to deal with it later. There's talk of storage units (too many), souvenirs (too big), shot glasses (acceptable), and the existential horror of our Mom's accumulations.Along the way, they share practical advice (label your photos, digitize your memories, stop buying “Istan-bowls”), laugh about memory lapses, and swap stories ranging from heartwarming to mildly terrifying (yes, there's a creepy storage unit moment—trust your Spidey senses).The big takeaway? Keep what makes you happy—but don't leave your loved ones buried under your sentimental clutter. Sixty might be the age when you still feel 30… but you finally start asking, “Do I really need this?”Don't catch Value-losis.

In 2026, everything is different. AI is scaling both research and publishing productivity. Impact factors no longer matter. Big name journal publishers launch offspring journals with little credentials other than the brand. How should we make sense of all this to figure out which journals are really important to our field? It is time for a new, rigorous ranking of IS journals. Problem is, we cannot really agree on our ranks and our reasons. You need to help us: give us your top ten ranking of IS journals with your reasoning. Together, we can find out what is best for our field going forward. References Seidel, S., Berente, N., Guo, H., Oh, W.

In this first episode, we ask the big question many Christian authors, speakers, and coaches are wondering: Is it okay for Christians to use AI?We'll talk about why AI is a tool—not a replacement for your calling, conviction, conscience, or the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture and practical examples, we'll explore discernment, stewardship, and wisdom, calm common fears, and address the guilt many believers feel around using AI.If you want to honor God, steward your time well, and think clearly about how (and if) AI fits into your work, this episode will help you lay a solid, biblical foundation for the conversation ahead.

SummaryIn this episode of the Text Driven Podcast, Timothy Pigg discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital church, particularly focusing on the importance of restoring biblical worship. He emphasizes the need for worship to be participatory rather than observational, and highlights the impact of digital culture on worship practices. Pigg calls for a return to sacredness in worship, encouraging churches to engage their congregations in meaningful ways that foster community and spiritual growth.TakeawaysThe digital church presents real problems for worship.Worship should be a response to God's worth, not just content consumption.Worship is meant to be participatory, not observational.Digital culture has made worship more private than corporate.Engagement metrics can expose shallow theology in worship.Corporate worship should involve singing together as a community.Teaching worship at home is essential for corporate worship.Worship services should be geared for participation, not just viewing.Quality in worship should not overshadow spiritual engagement.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Bible Caddie Ministry02:05 The Digital Church: Identifying the Problems05:01 Understanding Biblical Worship10:34 The Impact of Digital Culture on Worship14:25 Restoring Sacredness in Worship19:27 Conclusion and Call to Action

Who is really shaping your beliefs in the age of social media? Not every Christian influencer online is teaching biblical truth, and some are misleading others—knowingly or unknowingly. In this episode, I examine the rise of false Christian influencers, how influence can subtly manipulate thinking, and why truth is often mixed with error. I break down 5 practical warning signs to help identify false teachers, explain how to test the spirits, and discuss why spiritual maturity and renewed thinking take time—especially for those coming out of New Age or occult backgrounds. I also go behind the scenes on how constant online influence shapes belief systems and share practical ways to guard your faith in an increasingly noisy digital world.-----------------------------Amy is a Christian counselor- to book a session:https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.comAmy's online Bible studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontherightIG https://www.instagram.com/eyesontherightpodcast/?hl=enIG https://www.instagram.com/eyesontheright4.0/?hl=en⁠⁠https://theanastasiaco.com⁠⁠ - Faith based company (gifts/apparel)CODE: EYESONTHERIGHT⁠https://convictionco.com⁠ - Faith based bold apparelCODE: EYESONTHERIGHT

"Direct materials is the most under-innovated, untouched by modern technology of any spend area." - Spencer Penn, Co-Founder and CEO, LightSource Direct spend makes up the lion's share of the procurement budget, but all too often, it's still managed in spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Today's volatile supply market and relentless cost pressures demand more.  What is holding companies back from real transformation in direct procurement, and where do the smartest teams focus their innovation efforts? In this AOP podcast episode, host Philip Ideson speaks with Spencer Penn, co-founder and CEO of LightSource. Drawing from his hands-on experience at Tesla and Waymo, Spencer explains why direct procurement's digital journey has lagged behind indirect, and what it takes to move from manual, reactive "firefighting" to scalable, collaborative value creation.  If you're wondering how to unite engineering, procurement, and finance to drive structural cost reduction, or how to leverage tech for more than basic automation, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, Spencer talks about how to: Make sense of why most direct procurement processes are still manual Learn how collaboration between procurement, engineering, and suppliers drives lasting savings See where legacy thinking and incentives stall change (and how to overcome it) Discover what tech can enable and when people are essential Find out why small sourcing decisions at scale become huge bottom-line wins Links: Spencer Penn on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube  

On this episode of Perpetual mOetion with Dr. mOe Anderson, couples communication expert Raffi Bilek, LCSWC, joins the show to unpack how modern digital life is reshaping — and often straining — our closest relationships. Raffi, author of The Couple's Communication Handbook, explains why in-person connection matters, how social media and texting create tone-deaf misunderstandings, and why difficult conversations rarely go well over screens. Sound Bites "Social media can distort real-life relationships." "Texting is not suitable for deep conversations." "Going to bed angry can sometimes be beneficial." Topics covered include the common communication traps of digital life (tone misreads, avoidance, comparison), the harmful effects of trying to resolve deep issues by text or quick video, and the cultural myth that you must never go to bed angry. Raffi and Dr. mOe discuss why postponing a heated conversation can be healthier, and when returning to the discussion later produces real progress. The episode reframes conflict from breakdown to opportunity: with the right tools, everyday friction can deepen intimacy, build trust, and create lasting teamwork. Rafi also outlines the most common reasons couples seek counseling — chronic communication problems, infidelity, neurodiversity, and life stressors — and how coaching or therapy can guide repair and growth. Listeners can expect concrete, actionable guidance: when to delay a conversation, how to de-escalate, how to listen to understand (not to rebut), and simple exercises to practice connection. Tune in to learn how to stop arguing in circles, regulate your emotional tone, and turn conflict into connection—so you and your partner (or friends and teammates) can feel heard, understood, and closer.   To connect with Raffi and download two chapters of his book for free, visit his website https://www.thecommunicationbook.com/   Would you like to be a guest on this podcast?
