Hajvery University hosted one day National Conference on Islamic Banking & Finance. The National Conference on Islamic Banking & Finance was attended by prominent speakers who shared their views with the Audience.
The keynote speakers discussed that interest in Islamic banking has grown considerably during the last decade. The main issues of concern are the conceptual framework and viability of interest-free banking, and the assessment of its performance and future. In a world where conventional interest-based finance is the dominant framework, Islamic banking faces many challenges that must be addressed.
The purpose of the National Conference on Islamic Banking & Finance is to analyze the past experiences of Islamic banks, to provide an objective assessment of their success and failure, and to discuss the contemporary issues and challenges confronting them.
The following keynote speaks addressed the Conference:
Mufti Muhammad Iftikhar Baig
Shariah Advisor ABL Islamic Banking
Dr. Professor Muhammad Saad Siddiqui
Islamic Studies Dept. University of the Punjab, Lahore
Mr Yasir Tariq
CEO Wasil Foundation
Dr. Salman Ahmen
Islamic Banking Expert
Hajvery University (HU)
An essential feature of Islamic banking is the prohibition of interest (“riba”). The interest-free Islamic banking is based on the concept of profit-and-loss sharing, where the lender shares losses with the borrower. The question is whether this system can be relevant in the world of revolutionary, technology-driven global finance. Islamic banks mushroomed across the world. Many conventional banks nowadays have Islamic windows or separate branches that deal with Islamic financial products. The fact that Islamic banks have been around for the last decades and continue to prosper is a proof of the viability of Islamic finance in a world dominated by interest-based banking.

Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy (MSA) hosted Tiffany Griffin, an IIT graduate, on Thursday, February 20, 2014, to speak with Dean's list high school and middle school students about her path toward a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) career.
Ms. Griffin spoke about how challenging college mathematics, chemistry, physics and other physical sciences courses can be. Unlike the students at MSA, she didn’t receive a lot of STEAM course offerings in high school. She encouraged students to pursue their dreams in a STEAM related career.
“I love to solve complex problems, and having a strong knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics makes it even easier to do,” said Griffin.
Ms. Griffin initiated a monthly speaker series organized by Illinois Institute of Technology and MSA leadership to expose students to various STEM careers.
“It is the mission of Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy to educate students for rewarding STEM careers,” said principal Julie Puzon. “And, we’re equally concerned with preparing our students for life through the A Disciplined Life Education Model.”
The A Disciplined Life curriculum helps students develop positive self-perception, healthy relationships, and the tools for productivity.

A great number of people have recently arrived in Nyal payam, coming in the last weeks for fear of their safety amidst insecurity, despite a recently-signed peace accord.
At least 78,000 people displaced in Koch, Leer, and Mayiandit counties have arrived in Panyijiar County of Unity State as a result of continued fighting, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
According to the agency, insecurity and lack of access to vital supplies to South Sudanese was making it hard for humanitarian actors to deliver the necessary assistance to the most affected groups of displaced persons in parts of the country.
Fighting resumed last month despite a signed peace accord between the South Sudan government and the armed opposition forces led by the country's former vice president, Riek Machar.
Over the past month, insecurity and lack of access to vital supplies have continued to force South Sudanese to flee in search of safety, assistance, and protection, said OCHA.
In August, the report says, there was increased displacement of people due to fighting in and around Koch, Leer, and Mayiandit counties in Unity State and Wau Shilluk in Upper Nile.
As offensives continue between forces loyal to both factions in the south of Unity State, 18,000 people reportedly reached Nyal payam in Panyijiar in search of food and safety in recent weeks. This was in addition to the numbers who had fled there prior.
The World Food Programme (WFP) is providing food and nutrition assistance to the area; UNICEF is also present on the ground to treat severe acute malnutrition and to help with other various needs, including childhood education.
The host community has taken in those displaced, whether by welcoming them into their homes or by sharing land, food, and other resources.

Bell Helicopter graciously hosted a spectacular Sky Ball XV launch event at their corporate headquarters on August 28th, 2017. They rolled out the red carpet to provide the Airpower Foundation an opportunity to introduce new potential sponsors to Sky Ball, while also hosting many longtime supporters, and current sponsors. Special guests for the event included Medal of Honor Recipient, Gary Littrell, Medal of Honor Foundation President, Ron Rand, and the most decorated officer in the history of the 82nd Airborne Division, James “Maggie” Megellas. Maggie also recently celebrated his 100th birthday in March, and gave a very moving speech about his experiences in WWII. The evening included a raffle with many exciting prizes, and a live auction for a helicopter ride around DFW courtesy of Bell. Guest speaker, Kara Martin, moved the audience as she shared her personal experience of the significant impact The Airpower Foundation had on her life, and her recovery, with the assistance in training her service dog through an organization we are proud to support. As she said, her life was saved thanks to the support The Airpower Foundation was able to provide. Sky Ball emcee Scott Murray hosted the evening, and we also enjoyed an amazing rendition of the National Anthem by recording artist Jennifer Nickerson, and another amazing performance by singer Steve Turner who closed the evening with God Bless America.
The Airpower Foundation would like to sincerely thank Bell Helicopter for hosting this wonderful evening, and for their longtime support of the Foundation, and all who serve. We all thank everyone who joined us, and we hope to see you all at Sky Ball XV as we salute the American Veteran on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2017. We are also proud to have The Beach Boys joining us for this celebration as our headlining entertainment.
Please visit www.skyballinfo.com for exclusive sponsorship opportunities, individual tables, and tickets to join us for the largest and most impactful military support event in the nation!

The host plant for Monarch butterflies is the Milkweed. This is where the female Monarchs lay their eggs. It is a larval food for the Monarchs. Their caterpillars feed on the plant. Then, the Milkweed poison is stored, making this butterfly poisonous to birds. Of course, the Monarch helps with the pollination process of Milkweed.

The Iowa Interstate was a friend to steam and railfans during a HOT weekend in July 2011. Not only were they one of the host railroads for Train Festival 2011, but they opened up their mainline to multiple fan trips. NKP 765 West brings her train back from a trip to Bureau while the real moneymaker is IAIS 501 East with CBBI's train for Blue Island waiting on the siding in Carbon Cliff, IL. What a great show!
