Aaron Funk (born January 11, 1975), known professionally as Venetian Snares, is a Canadian electronic musician based in Winnipeg. He is widely known for innovating and popularising the breakcore genre, and is one of the most recognisable artists to be signed into Planet Mu, an experimental electronic music label similar to Warp. His signature style would involve meticulously complex melodies, his eclectic use of samples and odd time signatures, preferably 7/4.
His 2005 release, Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, was released to critical acclaim and has helped brought Funk and the genre into popularity within the experimental electronic music community.
Being a very prolific musician, he would release several records each year, often between several different record labels, including Planet Mu, Hymen, Sublight, and even his own imprint Timesig, and also under other different alias, including Last Step, Snares Man!, Snares, and Speed Dealer Moms. He would also explore other electronic genres such as glitch, IDM, modern classical and even acid techno.

Ismail ibn Kathir (Arabic: ابن كثير, born c. 1300, died 1373) was a highly influential Sunni scholar of the Shafi'i school during the Mamluk rule of Syria, an expert on tafsir (Quranic exegesis) and faqīh (jurisprudence) as well as a historian.
His full name was Abū l-Fidāʾ Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUmar ibn Kaṯīr (أبو الفداء إسماعيل بن عمر بن كثير), with the honorary title of ʿImād ad-Dīn (عماد الدين "pillar of the faith"). He was born in Mijdal, a village on the outskirts of the city of Busra, to the east of Damascus, Syria, around about AH 701 (AD 1300/1). He was taught by Ibn Taymiyya and Al-Dhahabi.
Upon completion of his studies he obtained his first official appointment in 1341, when he joined an inquisitorial commission formed to determine certain questions of heresy. He married the daughter of Al-Mizzi, one of the foremost Syrian scholars of the period, which gave him access to the scholarly elite. In 1345 he was made preacher (khatib) at a newly built mosque in Mizza, the home town of his father-in-law. In 1366, he rose to a professorial position at the Great Mosque of Damascus.
In the cylindrical room, lit with a massive pit in the middle. He was listening and he could hear whispers and giggling, and things such as that. And that's when he heard the footsteps coming up the little ladder. And he walked into the cylindrical room,he saw movement, like, a mole burrowing beneath the ground, beneath the carcasses. He looked at me, and he said 'Do you believe in monsters, do you believe in demons?' There were 74 children murdered, one right after another. The mutilated carcasses floating on top of the water The last thing we were to hear him say was 'All the children are dead................all the children.........are dead.
