Islamic banking and finance in Canada
The demand for Islamic banking and finance has grown in Canada  due to the growing Muslim population in the country who want to avoid riba and other financial practices in violation of sharia. These sharia-compliant financial products are not offered by main financial institutions and, thus, small financial companies are major players. However, major companies like WealthSimple are starting to embrace the idea. A growing number of Canadian fintech firms now offer Shariah-compliant home-financing models based on co-ownership (diminishing partnership) rather than conventional interest-bearing mortgages.

Islam in Canada
Islam is the second-largest religion in Canada, practised by approximately 4.9% of the population. Canadian Muslims are one of the most ethnically diverse religious groups across the country. Muslims have lived in Canada since 1871 and the first mosque was established in 1938. Canada is home to the most northern built mosque in the world called the Midnight Sun Mosque.

There are a number of Islamic organizations and seminaries (madrasas). Opinion polls show most Muslims feel "very proud" to be Canadians, and majority are religious and attend mosque at least once a week. More than half of Canadian Muslims live in Ontario, with significant populations also living in Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia.

The percentage of Muslims in Canada is 4.9% as of the 2021 census. In the Greater Toronto Area, 10% of the population is Muslim, and in Greater Montreal, 8.7% of the population is Muslim.
Conscience of the King
Conscience of the King (1951) is a historical novel by British author Alfred Duggan based on the life of Cerdic Elesing, founder of the Kingdom of Wessex. It begins 40 years after the events covered in The Little Emperors (also 1951), set during the last years of Roman Britain from 406 to 410 CE. His later novel The King of Athelney (1962) concerns one of Cerdic's most famous descendants, Alfred the Great.

Cerdic of Wessex
Cerdic (/ˈtʃɜːrdɪtʃ/ CHER-ditch; Latin: Cerdicus) is described in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as a leader of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, being the founder and first king of Wessex, reigning from around 519 to 534 AD. Subsequent kings of Wessex were each claimed by the Chronicle to descend in some manner from Cerdic. His origin, ethnicity, and even his very existence have been extensively disputed. However, though claimed as the founder of Wessex by later West Saxon kings, he would have been known to contemporaries as king of the Gewissae, a folk or tribal group. In a charter dating to 686, Cædwalla was the first king of the Gewissae to call himself 'King of the West Saxons'.
Qasim Bey
Qasim Bey or Qasim Beg or Qāsem bin Jahāngīr was the Sultan of the Aq Qoyunlu in Diyarbakir from 1497 to 1501.

Qasim Bey came from the Aq-Qoyunlu clan. He was the son of Bey Jahangir. After his father's death in 1469, he became the governor in Erzincan. However, there is little information about this period of Kasim's life.

In 1497, after the death of Ahmad Beg, three Sultans ruled at the same time: Alvand Beg in the west, Qasim in Diyarbakir, and Alvand’s brother Muhammad in Fārs and ʿErāq-e ʿAǰam (where he was succeeded in 1500 by his brother Murad). Qasim soon occupied all of the Aq-Qoyunlu's Asia Minor possessions, assuming the title of Sultan. He was engaged in the development of Diyarbakir and Mardin, his main cities. However, in 1497, Sultan Kasim was overthrown by Alvand Beg, who annexed these territories.

After the defeat of Alvand to the Safavids in 1501, power in Diyarbakir was seized by Zayn al-Abidin (r.1504–1514), the son of Sultan Ahmad Beg.

Moe Jeudy-Lamour
Moe Jeudy-Lamour is a Canadian film and television actor from Montreal, Quebec, best known for his role as Thierry Zoreaux / "Van Damme" on Ted Lasso.

He is of Haitian descent, and was raised as an Orthodox Jew in Montreal. He studied political science at Concordia University with the plan of going into law, but decided to pursue acting, a dream he had always felt to be unattainable, after unexpectedly meeting Orlando Jones while working at Future Shop.

He has also had supporting or guest roles in the films Barney's Version, Gerontophilia, Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It, Race, King Dave and Bon Cop, Bad Cop 2, and the television series 19-2, Being Human, Unité 9, District 31 and Bad Blood, as well as roles on stage.

King Dave
King Dave is a 2016 Canadian drama film directed by "Podz" (Daniel Grou) and starring screenwriter Alexandre Goyette and Karelle Tremblay. Directed as a single shot, it is based on Goyette's stage play of the same name.

The film premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival. It was nominated for three Canadian Screen Awards.
Apronal
Apronal (brand name Sedormid), or apronalide, also known as allylisopropylacetylurea or allylisopropylacetylcarbamide, is a hypnotic/sedative drug of the ureide (acylurea) group synthesized in 1926 by Hoffmann-La Roche. Though it is not a barbiturate, apronal is similar in structure to the barbiturates (being an open-chain carbamide instead of having a heterocyclic ring). In accordance, it is similar in action to the barbiturates, although considerably milder in comparison (formerly used as a daytime sedative at doses of 1 to 2 grams every 3 to 4 hours). Upon the finding that it caused patients to develop thrombocytopenic purpura, apronal was withdrawn from clinical use.

Medicines with apronal are no longer used except in Japan and South Korea. Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration issued a safety alert in May 2023 which prohibits the sale, supply and use of Japanese EVE-branded products in Australia due to its dangerous side effects.

Chemical structure
A chemical structure of a molecule is a spatial arrangement of its atoms and their chemical bonds. Its determination includes a chemist's specifying the molecular geometry and, when feasible and necessary, the electronic structure of the target molecule or other solid. Molecular geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together and can be represented using structural formulae and by molecular models; complete electronic structure descriptions include specifying the occupation of a molecule's molecular orbitals. Structure determination can be applied to a range of targets from very simple molecules (e.g., diatomic oxygen or nitrogen) to very complex ones (e.g., such as protein or DNA).
The White Swan Inn, Pickering
The White Swan Inn is a historic pub in Pickering, North Yorkshire, a town in England.

The pub was built in the 18th century, on the site of a Mediaeval building, of which some passages and a door survive in the basement.  It was extended to the rear in the 19th century.  The building was grade II listed in 1975.  It has a small bar, a lounge, dining room, and 21 bedrooms.  It was first listed in the Good Food Guide in 2010.

The pub is built of stone on a plinth, in brick on the side, and has a mansard roof in Welsh slate. It has two storeys and attics, and four bays. The left bay contains a flat-arched carriage entry, on the right bay is a bow window with a moulded cornice, and to its left is a doorway. The other bay, and those on the upper floor, contain sash windows with triple keystones, and on the attics are four dormers.

Molding (decorative)
Molding (spelled moulding and alternatively called coving in British and Australian English), is a strip of material with various profiles used to cover transitions between surfaces or for decoration. It is traditionally made from solid milled wood or plaster, but may be of plastic or reformed wood.  In classical architecture and sculpture, the molding is often carved in marble or other stones.  In historic architecture, and some expensive modern buildings, it may be formed in place with plaster.

A "plain" molding has right-angled upper and lower edges. A "sprung" molding has upper and lower edges that bevel towards its rear,  allowing mounting between two non-parallel planes (such as a wall and a ceiling), with an open space behind. Moldings may be decorated with paterae as long, uninterrupted elements may be boring for eyes.
Red kite
The red kite (Milvus milvus) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers. The species currently breeds only in Europe, though it formerly also bred in West Asia and Northwest Africa. Historically, it was only resident in the milder parts of its range in Western Europe and Northwestern Africa, whereas all or most red kites in Northern mainland Europe wintered to the south and west, some also reaching western Asia, but an increasing number of northern birds now remain in that region year-round. Vagrants have reached north to Finland and south to Israel, Libya and the Gambia.

Leucism
Leucism (/ˈluːsɪzəm, -kɪz-/) or leukism, is a wide variety of conditions that result in partial loss of pigmentation in an animal—causing white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales, or cuticles, but not the eyes. Some genetic conditions that result in a "leucistic" appearance include piebaldism, Waardenburg syndrome, vitiligo, Chédiak–Higashi syndrome, flavism, isabellinism, xanthochromism, axanthism, amelanism, and melanophilin mutations. Pale patches of skin, feathers, or fur (often referred to as "depigmentation") can also result from injury.
Woodling Gym
Woodling Gymnasium is a gym on the campus of Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, which opened in 1973. One of its facilities is a 3,000 seat multi-purpose arena that was home to the Cleveland State Vikings basketball team until the Wolstein Center opened in 1991. It is named after former Fenn College and Cleveland State University coach and athletic director Homer E. Woodling. It was dedicated on October 20, 1973.

Gym
A gym, short for gymnasium (pl.: gymnasiums or gymnasia), is an indoor venue for exercise and sports. The word is derived from the ancient Greek term "gymnasion". They are commonly found in athletic and fitness centres, and as activity and learning spaces in educational institutions. "Gym" is also the commonly used name for a "fitness centre" or health club, which is often an area for indoor recreation. A "gym" may include or describe adjacent open air areas as well. In Western countries, "gyms" often describe places with indoor or outdoor courts for basketball, hockey, tennis, boxing or wrestling, and with equipment and machines used for physical development training, or to do exercises. In many European countries, Gymnasium (and variations of the word) also can describe a secondary school that prepares students for higher education at a university, with or without the presence of athletic courts, fields, or equipment.
Flag (linear algebra)
In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra, a flag is an increasing sequence of subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space V. Here "increasing" means each is a proper subspace of the next (see filtration):

The term flag is motivated by a particular example resembling a flag: the zero point, a line, and a plane correspond to a nail, a staff, and a sheet of fabric.

If we write that dimVi = di then we have

where n is the dimension of V (assumed to be finite). Hence, we must have k ≤ n. A flag is called a complete flag if di = i for all i, otherwise it is called a partial flag.

A partial flag can be obtained from a complete flag by deleting some of the subspaces. Conversely, any partial flag can be completed (in many different ways) by inserting suitable subspaces.

The signature of the flag is the sequence (d1, ..., dk).

Flag
A flag is a piece of fabric (most often rectangular) with distinctive colours and design, often flown from a pole and used for symbolic, signalling, or decorative purposes. The term flag is also used to refer to the graphic design employed on such pieces of fabric. The study of flags is known as "vexillology" from the Latin vexillum, meaning "flag" or "banner".

The first flags were used to aid military coordination on the battlefield, and flags have since evolved into a common tool for basic signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is challenging (such as maritime environments where semaphore is used). The national flag is a common patriotic symbol of a country, and many national or other flags may be assigned to flag families based on similarities in their designs that demonstrate a shared history, culture, or influence. Flags are also used in messages, advertising, or for other decorative purposes.
Risa Shigetomo
Risa Shigetomo (重友 梨佐, Shigetomo Risa; born 29 August 1987 in Bizen) is a Japanese long-distance runner. She competed in the marathon at the 2012 Summer Olympics, placing 78th with a time of 2:40:06.  She finished in 14th place in the marathon at the 2015 World Championship with a time of 2:32:37.  Her personal best is 2:23:23, set in Osaka in 2012, while she was winning the 2012 Osaka marathon.  She won the Osaka Marathon again in 2017, in a time of 2:24:22.  Winning the Osaka Marathon earned her a place on Japan's 2017 World Championship team.

2017 World Championships in Athletics
The 2017 IAAF World Championships, the sixteenth edition of the IAAF World Championships, were held from 4 to 13 August at London Stadium in London, United Kingdom. London was officially awarded the championships on 11 November 2011.
Lazarus Sittichinli
Lazarus Sittichinli was a First Nations elder of the Gwich'in people, who was the last surviving member of the man-hunt for the Mad Trapper of Rat River.

Oral histories he recorded have proved valuable in tying his people to their past.

Stephen Takfwi, Premier of the Northwest Territories, recorded a song celebrating Sittinchinli's life and example to his people.

When Rudy Wiebe interviewed Sittichinli for his 2011 book River of Stone, he wrote he was the only participant in the manhunt who was still alive.

Wiebe wrote that Sittichinli and his wife had been married for 67 years, and that 12 of their 14 children had predeceased them.

Cynthia Chambers Erasmus offered Sittichinli's testimony before the Berger Commission as an example of a key speech pattern of First Nations elders, in a journal article entitled "Ways with Stories: Listening to the Stories Aboriginal People Tell".  She spent two pages deconstructing Sittichinli's testimony.

Stephen Kakfwi
Stephen Kakfwi (born 1950 in Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories) is a Canadian politician, who was the ninth premier of the Northwest Territories. His sixteen-year tenure in the cabinet of the Northwest Territories is the longest in the Territories' history.
Prousou Monastery
The Prousou Monastery (Greek: Μονή Προυσού) is a monastery of County Evrytania, Greece. It is located 31 km south of Karpenisi and 53 km northeast of Agrinio, 2 km from the homonymous village and is a spiritual and pilgrimage center of the entire region. It is built in a steep, rocky area between the mountains of Helidona, Kaliakouda and the mountain range of Panaitoliko, which is overgrown with fir trees.

The Holy Monastery of Prousou is dedicated to Theotokos and celebrates on August 23 (Apodosis Dormition of Theotokos). In 1748 the Monastery became Stauropegion.

Stauropegion
A stauropegion, also spelled stavropegion (from Greek: σταυροπήγιον, in turn from σταυρός stauros lit. "cross" and πήγνυμι pegnumi lit. "to affirm"), is a monastery or a parish which depends directly on the primate or on the Holy Synod of a particular Church, and which is not under the jurisdiction of the local bishop. The name comes from the Byzantine tradition of summoning the Patriarch to place a cross at the foundation of stauropegic monasteries or parochial churches.

Such exempt jurisdictions, both monastic and parochial, are common in Eastern Christianity, mainly in Eastern Orthodox Churches, but also in some Eastern Catholic Churches. Their institutional counterparts in the Latin Rite ecclesiastical order of the Catholic Church are various exempt jurisdictions, such as monasteries directly subjected to the Holy See of Rome.
Wasteland Weekend
Wasteland Weekend is an annual four-day festival held on the edge of the Mojave Desert near Edwards, California.

Mustahil (woreda)
Mustahil (Somali: Mustaxiil) is a woreda in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Gode Zone, Mustahil is bordered on the south by Somalia, on the west by Kelafo, on the north by the Korahe Zone, and on the east by Ferfer. The Shebelle River is flowing through this woreda. The major town in this woreda is Mustahīl.

The average elevation in this woreda is 310 meters above sea level. As of 2008, Mustahil has no all-weather gravel road nor any community roads; about 7.96% of the total population has access to drinking water. Mustahil woreda currently has had good progress and the local government workers have harvested about 50 hectares of Sudan grass so the woreda could help other drought areas.
