1401. A Muggleborn With A Passion For Computers Learns Programming During Summer And Brings Their Computer

Sometimes I really wonder how people manage to be larries but also kind of think that louis is some kind of idiot that just accepts whatever ‘nasty selfish Harry’ is doing like he’s some love fool that just accepts things while the fandom clearly sees through said version of Harry like what kind of relationship do people think they have? And do people realise they are basically questioning louis’ intelligence?

Dates

{Foods of the Sunnah}

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would break his fast with fresh or dried dates, ajwa dates being his favorite due to their abilities to heal. He would break his fast with an odd number, so we should as well.

Dates are

rich in minerals, which our body cannot supply so we must consume in order to grow and function properly

they improve digestion

contain antioxidants

even aid in our eye sight

reduce labor pains

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

“Break your fast by eating dates as it is purifying” [Ahmad]

“Whoever finds dates should break his fast with them and the one who does not should break his fast with water it is pure.” [Ahmad]

“Whoever has seven ajwa dates every morning he will not be harmed on that day by poison or magic.” [Bukhari]

“Ajwa dates are from paradise.” [Muslim]

Allah says:

“Shake the trunk of the palm toward you and fresh, ripe dates will drop down onto you.” (Maryam 19:25)

Facebook helps companies detect rogue SSL certificates for domains

Facebook has launched a tool that allows domain name owners to discover TLS/SSL certificates that were issued without their knowledge.

The tool uses data collected from the many Certificate Transparency logs that are publicly accessible. Certificate Transparency (CT) is a new open standard requiring certificate authorities to disclose the certificate that they issue.

Until a few years ago, there was no way of tracking the certificates issued by every certificate authority (CA). At best, researchers could scan the entire web and collect those certificates being used on public servers. This made it very hard to discover cases where CAs issued certificates for domain names without the approval of those domains’ owners.

Fat Shaming

Evidence of Zika Virus Found in Tears

Researchers have found that Zika virus can live in eyes and have identified genetic material from the virus in tears, according to a study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The study, in mice, helps explain why some Zika patients develop eye disease including a condition known as uveitis which can lead to permanent vision loss.

Human Spatial Memory is Made Up of Numerous Individual Maps

Spatial memory is something we use and need in our everyday lives. Time for morning coffee? We head straight to the kitchen and know where to find the coffee machine and cups. To do this, we require a mental image of our home and its contents. If we didn’t have this information stored in our memory, we would have to search through the entire house every time we needed something. Exactly how this mental processing works is not clear. Do we use one big mental map of all of the objects we have in our home? Or do we have a bunch of small maps instead – perhaps one for each room? Tobias Meilinger and Marianne Strickrodt, cognitive scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, investigated these questions in a research study.
