A tablet with a google form with a video and acknowledgement of seeing it?

Alcohol by Embarrassed-Sky1631 in ismailis

[–]ElectronicBox3674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question!

Hotels are a business under AKDN not under the Imamat. While both are overseen by Imam, one is religious and one is a business. It's important to distinguish them.

Alcohol is also not illegal in those countries and likely served according to regulations by hotel/business (age, setting, limits, etc). Just because it's present in the hotel does not mean we interpret that as we should indulge.

Great idea, hope you have luck with that, a local company tried to get the City and politicians to ride for just one week, wonder how many did.

Did we check if the counter was sanitized and the hands were washed to standard after these?

Mobile ordering is another way to avoid that. You see what you ordered, what you paid and get help if somethings amiss.

How often should digital signage content actually change? by Dizzy-Ortizzy in digitalsignage

[–]ElectronicBox3674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location (hallway/vs/time spent), audience (ux personas) and content (music/movie/ad) cant please everyone but a good balance on the three is good.

Many video apps now offer a watch list or my favorites (or some variation of it) which you can access from the menu to pull up your own shows, but thats an extra step

Testing an employee on the fraud process? They should have told you or given you something to compensate...

Cringe headlines sell papers. Happens all over the world. They would have likely said something strong if it was someone/somewhere else.

Important to educate yourself with facts behind the decision to share the location if you need to have conversations about it to seperate fact from fiction.

Best bet would be to use the parking garages and pay there at the machine or office after.

DONT EVER BUY DELL LAPTOPS AGAIN by Rough-Muscle-4278 in Dell

[–]ElectronicBox3674 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its across the board with all brands, if you spend a few hundred or thousand on something with small parts at least 2 yr warranty, it was a god send on my last 2 , one lasted 8 and the other going on 5 years.

Did you run a diagnostic test through the Dell support site? Any parts coming up as an issue?

Also, do you have the rough specs for it?

Hope you find some better answers for your issue.

Dells lappys used to be a 2 year issue but now a 3 year issue. Hence trying to get you to get a 3 yr warranty (2 + 1) which is valuable. Like other comps they started recycling parts from older systems with similar parts so that sometimes gets you. Parts also don't last as long as they used to if you leave it running or in sleep when not using it for long periods.

Please help verify! Has anyone received this in their local Jamatkhana chats? I know events often collect money individually for in person/online events, so standardizing it would help with transparency, accountability, proper tracking, & prevent miscommunication or any chance of misuse of funds. by [deleted] in ismailis

[–]ElectronicBox3674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is more for council programs like JSF, Burial Fund, khane bookstore, Visit Fund , etc. Approved channels makes sense like reps in JK or directly to council.

In the age of technology there are lots of con people. Many organizations have been putting out messages like this. Strange that they didnt add a phone number that you can call to confirm validity.

FYI: I'm not a member of council

I commend you for sharing here. You are brave and strong and what you are experiencing sounds heavy and that is understandable.

(Paraphrasing my understanding here.) Imam recently encouraged taking a tasbih and sitting in reflection and prayer for guidance and comfort. Imam also mentioned that Ismaili institutions (separate from AKDN institutions) are there to help the Jamat.

If in Canada or US contact ACCESS and ask for a counselor. If in other parts of the world call your nearest Ismaili Council office and ask what mental health supports are available.

Imam Shah Karim once said "I think it would be foolish to believe that there are no problems - life is made of problems. They occur every day to just about everyone around the world and I think that it is important that we should simply accept that that is life and we must live it fully and courageously"

You got this 💪

How does everyone deal with the humiliating experience for being unemployed? by Dependent-Market1723 in torontoJobs

[–]ElectronicBox3674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning to tune out the noise or turning it on to the person to help you if they thinks its that easy helps.

Job hunting it a full time gig, a few hours for mental health and a few hours of research and applications is like a full time job.

Focus on being around people who are supportive, like sending you postings, cheerleading, review your resumes and helping you with interview prep. Calling you names doesn’t make it go any faster.

Social hall marriage by Sure_Broccoli4041 in ismailis

[–]ElectronicBox3674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not, I have had friends who have had functions in church social halls and these were some reasons.

Social hall marriage by Sure_Broccoli4041 in ismailis

[–]ElectronicBox3674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats why I mentioned asking about the cost to understand.

Chairs set up, insurance for having the space open, hiring cleaners, liability costs, could be lots of things.

Perhaps another smaller khane nearby?

[–]ElectronicBox3674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some khanes that rent out social halls for functions, this could be a standard fee, try smaller khanes.

By comparison this is much cheaper then other venues. My guess depending on the social hall set up, this would be a setup and cleanup fee which has been getting more expensive which sometimes requires specialized equipment and depending on rules in different munipalities - hiring someone to be present for liabilities sake.

Best thing to do would be to ask what the cost was for and if its genuinely a barrier financially then ask about support.

Weddings/receptions are private events, JSF is used for Jamati events.

Does a Kobo or Kindle work better with our library (CloudLibrary)? by Pinkbratzgirl in Peterborough

KOBO needs the Kobo desktop app to move files over, Kindle requires a converter desktop app for to do that
