St. Panteleimon's Convent (Feofania Park)
Feofania is a picturesque area in the southern outskirts of Kiev. There are holy springs, a cascade of lakes and mighty oak groves in the vicinity of the famous Orthodox nunnery. More than a century ago a little monastery farm was founded not far from the suburban residence where the bishop stayed in summer.

Magnificent nature, salubrious sources, splendid opportunity of solitude make Feofania so famous. You will have unforgettable impressions after visiting Monastery and its surroundings. The unique St. Panteleymon's Cathedral was constructed in the traditional Russian style. All visitors are amazed with its elegance and beauty. The story of the St. Panteleymon's Cathedral is unusual and dramatic.
Golosiivo Protection of Virgin Mary Monastery
This Kiev cloister that was badly damaged at Bolsheviks times has been revived like the Magic Phoenix. It actually got its second wind. Brainchild of Metropolitan Petro Mogila, sown on this bare place by the outstanding church hermit, Goloseevo was famous for the line of hills, thickly overgrown with trees, fruit gardens and tireless monastic exploits of its inhabitants.
Mother Alipia (1910 – 1988) is considered one of the most famous local Saints, was granted by a gift of farseeing. Lots of pilgrims rush to kneel to her relics.
Protection of Virgin Mary Convent
Was founded on January 11, 1889 by the Great Princess Alexandra Petrovna Romanova (in monasticism - Anastasia, † 1900). At the monastery a lot of charitable establishments were created - free hospitals, a shelter, an outpatient clinic and a pharmacy, a church and parish school with a hostel for students.
The cloister was closed in 1925. It was opened in 1942. After the liberation of Kiev from the Nazi occupiers, a hospital was organized on the territory of the monastery, and in 1945 - 1948. here was the infirmary. More monastery was not closed, but was limited, that the number of buildings was reduced from 30 to 7. After the fire of 1981, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas was painted (secretly from the God-fighting authorities, in 1982 - 1983). Only recently the monastery returned part of its former territory. After the overhaul, the Church of the Intercession was painted and opened (in 1999).
Kitayevo Holy Trinity Monastery
Kitayevo is not only mysterious, but it is also a wonderful place to visit! You will hear about the exploits of the Kitayevo monks as well as about the architectural styles of the local churches.
In ancient times a cave maze was made there and at the present the cave maze is available for inspection too!
Monastic life was led in local caves from 11th to 12th centuries when a secluded monastery, monks lived in the cave maze from the 11th century till the 17th century. Belonging to Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, existed in this area on the old fortified hill near the lake. Later entrances to the caves were lost, up to 1857, when they were found again by a novice of the above-ground monastery. Reverent Dosifey lived there. Dosifey was venerated as a male hermit, but actually Dosifey was a woman. A unique hermit Feofil also lived in Kitayevo in the 18th century, well known as a «holy fool» & farseeing gifted.

Located in the old descent of the city – Podil, its buildings occupy the slopes of the Zamkova Hora.The main church, or katholikon, is a notable example of Ukrainian Baroque architecture. Its first stone was laid in 1722. Ten years later, the three-domed building was dedicated to the feast of the Ascension of Christ. Its Neoclassicalbell-tower is of later construction.
The convent's notable residents included Princess Natalia Dolgorukova, one of the first Russian women writers. It was closed in 1929 but reopened after the Germans entered the city in 1941.
Holy Trinity and St. Jonah's Monastery (Botanical Garden)
The monastery is located in one of the most beautiful spots of Kyiv – the National Botanical Garden M.M. Gryshko.
It was Jonas, a Vydubychi hegumen, who founded this monastery in 1864. The monastery's bell tower, at 110 meters, was to be the tallest in the Orthodox world. Its construction was halted due to the outbreak of World War I. As many as 800 monks resided there at the time.

Legal and Health Experts Discuss Widespread, Dangerous Health Misinformation at Virtual Panel
By Paul E. Alexis and Elias J. Schisgall, Contributing Writers November 15, 2021
{shortcode-2a9bee2cde435224b4e74652f6bc72b9da88f606}
Legal and bioethics experts convened to discuss the prevalence of health misinformation in the Covid era and how to combat it at a virtual panel hosted by the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics on Friday.
The event, called "Watching This Talk Will Save Your Life: Dealing with Health Misinformation in the COVID Era," was moderated by Michael S. Sinha, a researcher at the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science at Harvard Medical School.
The panelists included University of Pennsylvania communications professor Joseph N. Cappella and Northeastern University law and public policy professor Wendy E. Parmet.
Capella first began by discussing how health misinformation and disinformation are effective tools to sow distrust of authoritative health information. He cited an example of New York City's Polish population being targeted by outside political agitators who claimed that mRNA vaccines were crafted to decimate Christianity and the Polish nation.
Additionally, he highlighted an October 2020 study conducted in the U.S. and the U.K. that found that participants were less likely to get vaccinated after exposure to just a few pieces of misinformation.
Parmet discussed the legal debates over health misinformation, saying that conservatives on the Supreme Court have begun shifting toward a stricter examination of regulations on speech, potentially allowing health misinformation to propagate even further.
"Traditionally, public health has always been a compelling state interest," Parmet said. "I will say that last month, kind of shocking to me, three justices on the Supreme Court, in a decision refusing to take a vaccine case, suggested that it wasn't clear that stopping the pandemic or protecting people from Covid-19 would remain a compelling state interest."
"It's hard to know: if that's not a compelling state interest, what is a compelling state interest?" he added.
In an interview after the event, Parmet discussed the larger trend of the Supreme Court striking down policies meant to stop the spread of Covid-19, such as lockdowns and eviction moratoriums.
"The Court has been very hostile to Covid mitigation regulations," Parmet said. "But it has also been exceptionally, pre-Covid, hostile to speech restrictions."
In assigning responsibility to the widespread presence of misinformation, Capella blamed both legacy media outlets and social media.
"Groups like Fox News, have a bias that's political. And so they're covering the misinformation because they have a political agenda in mind and they're trying to pursue that political agenda," Capella said.
He added in an interview following the event that some well-intentioned journalists also help spread misinformation by giving it a platform.
"Try not to repeat misinformation if you can avoid it," Capella said. "And don't pick up every tidbit of this information that's out there and give it a place in the journalistic enterprise."
In terms of the role of social media in the dissemination of misinformation, Capella pointed to a landmark MIT study from 2017, which found that falsehoods spread "farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly" on social media than true information.
In suggesting solutions to impeding the spread of misinformation, Sinha highlighted the importance of spending time listening.
"I would say we need to spend more time with those who see us as trusted resources. It's a matter of having a conversation that allows individuals to be seen and heard," Sinha said in an interview after the event.
Capella emphasized being empathetic when discussing misinformation in a post-panel interview.
"I do think that there is no easy way of bridging some of these fundamental divides, which are really not so much about information, as they are often about identity, and they are often about values that are behind the information," Capella said.
"I think the best that one can do is to try to be empathic — try to keep the lines of communication open, provide information to the other person, and allow them the freedom to make up their own minds, but provide them with additional information to help them move from where they are," he added.

Lemon was once selected the product for weight loss because of its calorie only 16 calories and addition of citric acid tend to remove toxins, such as uric acid (urate).
Lemon diet and fasting days with lemons and more effective because they contain vitamin C, which increases resistance to infection and smooth walls of blood vessels, as well as such essential substances such as vitamins B, E, PP, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium, phosphorous, fluorine, sulfur, boron, iron, chlorine, molybdenum, organic acids and dietary fiber.
Based Diet on the use of lemon juice.
Strict limits on food, no, but it is advisable not to overeat sweet, fatty, starchy foods. Reviews of citric diet suggest that at this time, and the diet lasts two weeks, it is better to give up fried foods, replacing them boiled, steamed, baked.
Every day in the morning on an empty stomach at the time of lemon diet should drink lemon juice mixed with water.
In the first fourteen days of citric diet drink a glass of water with lemon juice 1st, in the 2nd - 2 cups of water with the juice of 2 lemons, in the third - 3 cups of water with 3 lemons. Gradually, to the 6th day is necessary to increase the number of lemons and water. Thus, on the 6th day to drink 6 glasses of water with the juice of lemons 6ti.
The seventh day of citric diet do unloading, this day is necessary to drink three liters of water to which is added the juice of 3 lemons and a tablespoon of honey. Nothing but this water that day or drink or eat can not.
Followed by reducing the number of lemons and water: on the eighth day diet again to drink 6 glasses of water mixed with the juice of lemons 6ti. On the 9th day - 5 cups of water and the juice of five lemons and so on. On the 13 day diet work, you need to drink a glass of water and lemon juice 1st and 14th day - the second day of discharge. Again according to the same recipe you need to prepare the lemon-honey water and drink it all day long.
Professional advice on the use of lemon diet: the water that you drink each day should be warm, and after you drink it, you need to rinse your mouth, because citric acid is bad for tooth enamel.
Judging by the reviews, lemon diet for such a scheme allows for two weeks to lose 4-5 kilograms.
This diet is more rigid than the first, and only lasts for three days.
On the first day of citric diet drink on an empty stomach as warm water with lemon juice during the day, you can eat fruit, exclude only bananas, persimmons and grapes, drink low-fat yogurt.
In the second day of the diet you can drink fresh lemon, nonfat yogurt, boiled water has steamed oatmeal with apples.
On the third day you can drink only non-carbonated pure water, have baked apples.
This lemon diet is based on a minimum fat content, the ability of lemon juice to start the metabolism. After a strict diet need to go carefully, gradually introduce the usual products in the early days to abstain from fat and sweet, starchy foods, start the morning with porridge, not to eat after 18.00.
Because citric acid citrus not take in a large amount at high acidity gastritis, inflammation of the gallbladder and ducts, liver, gastrointestinal ulcer, chronic, acute pancreatitis.
Lemon juice entering the stomach irritating the gastric mucosa, which in some cases causes vomiting and cramps. In addition, sick because of the use of lemons in the right upper quadrant can - so react the gallbladder and liver. In these cases, the lemon diet is necessary to stop and pass the examination may have hidden pathology of these organs.
The normal reaction to an overdose of vitamin C is diarrhea (lemon juice, you need to adjust the prescribed diet), may appear rash, vomiting, temperature may rise. All of these symptoms together indicate an abrupt onset cleansing of the body, which badly mismanaged the excretory system, so the dosage of citric acid should be reduced.
The lemon diet lemon juice consumed amount increases incrementally, and side effects are rare. If this happens, pause the diet do not increase for some time until the symptoms subside, the amount of juice.
In addition, there are reviews of citric diet that can hurt with nephrolithiasis. As already mentioned, lemon juice helps to remove urate, but if there are stones in the kidneys, they can get up and block the urinary tract. Therefore, the presence of kidney stones, gall bladder diet can not be used.

Samsung confirms it's working on a new smart speaker to rival the Amazon Echo
By Andy Weir Senior News Editor Neowin @gcaweir · Aug 23, 2017 16:50 EDT · Hot! with 3 comments
Samsung's Radiant 360 speaker (...not its upcoming smart speaker)
Last month, details emerged of a smart speaker in development by Samsung, codenamed 'Vega'. Today, shortly before unveiling its new Galaxy Note8 flagship phone, Samsung mobile chief DJ Koh confirmed the rumor to be accurate.
"Maybe soon we will announce it. I am already working on it," Koh told CNBC today - and it seems that it forms part of the company's broader 'smart home' vision. "As I mentioned I wanted to provide a fruitful user experience at home with Samsung devices, and I want to be moving quite heavily on it," he added.
Koh did not explicitly confirm that the new speaker will use its Bixby assistant, but it seems certain that it will. Samsung is said to have big plans for Bixby at the heart of its customers' digital lives, and reportedly aims to put the assistant on a range of devices, including smart TVs, and even refrigerators.
But the company has plenty of work to do before its assistant is ready for such a broad range of responsibilities. Samsung announced this week that Bixby is now available in over 200 markets worldwide, but it's still only able to handle voice interactions in US English and Korean. And while it can be used on its Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones - and soon on its Galaxy Note8 too - its development has reportedly been hindered by a lack of linguistic development specialists and resources.
There's still much that we don't know about Samsung's new smart speaker, but it will face significant competition from other major tech companies. In addition to the well-established Amazon Echo and Google Home, Samsung will also have to compete with its arch-nemesis, Apple, which will release its HomePod speaker in December. New speakers are also coming this year with Microsoft's Cortana assistant, including the Invoke from Harman Kardon - although given that Samsung now owns Harman, it's probably not too worried about the competition from that device.

There are many reasons that responsible individuals would want to pay their PayPal credit balance with a credit card. For one, PayPal credit is the default payment method and they may have wanted to select another funding source, but accidentally failed to. This was my situation. After this slip up I went to pay my PayPal Credit balance with a credit card and soon learned this was not possible. So I thought. Here's how to pay PayPal Credit balance with credit card.
Note that you will have to close your PayPal credit account to pay your balance with a credit card, but if you accidentally used this service and this doesn't bother you as it didn't me then simply call 1-866-528-3733 and don't dance around it; let the representative know that you want to pay your PayPal Credit balance with credit card and they CAN issue this one-time transaction letting you pay your PayPal Credit balance with a credit card and close your account. Great, I didn't like Bill Me Later and I don't like PayPal credit nor do I remember opting in.
Unfortunately, you can not accomplish this online and you cannot pay your balance without closing your PayPal Credit account. A welcome change for me.
One bonus about the new PayPal user interface is that it is now easy to change your default billing source, so that you can potentially avoid this headache.
That's how to pay PayPal Credit balance with a credit card as well as change your default funding source. Hope this saves a headache knowing it's possible.
This didnt work. They would not accept a credit card even if you tell them you are closing an account.
Just close PP credit; not the entire account. Also, it's representative specific, so you could try to call back and talk to a different rep. I didn't want PP credit so it was a double bonus to close it.

HUGE Inspiration from a huge SGP Fan!
My name is Lilliana – "Lilli" for short. I am a 20 year old student in college. I was born in southern Italy but have lived most of my life in Colorado.
I played a bit of soccer in middle and high school, but it was never the main sport in my life. I was something of an average utility player. I played at whatever position was needed: attacker, midfielder, a few stints at defense, and a single forgettable half in goal. My numbers were never all that impressive and I spent most games on the bench. No, my primary sport is climbing.
Indeed, when I'm not trying to keep my GPA where I want it or having my arms and legs in all directions by my sorority, you will typically find me in the middle of nowhere, scaling cliffs and rocks. When I am on campus, it's a safe bet that you'll find me at the rock-wall.
I just wanted to share my story and why I credit the amazing women of SoccerGrlProbs with saving my life.
I arose at 5:30 that morning with a splitting headache. The previous night was more than forgettable. A quick glance at my texts reminded me that I inherited the role of unwilling mediator between two of my sorority sisters as they fought over some frat boy. Don't get me wrong: I love my sorority. I love my sisters. But it was spring break, a week when I should have been able to go home and relax, away from the drama of Panhellenic societies and stresses of academic expectations.
I changed into more suitable cold-weather climbing apparel: layers upon layers on top, finished off with a pair of athletic leggings for which I probably paid way too much (ditto for the bright neon pink running shoes on my feet).
Both of my parents had already left for work. My brother (five years my elder) was in the kitchen, scarfing down a bowl of bran flakes and milk. A kinesiology grad, he worked (and still works) in the athletic department for the nearby college. He's one of those guys you always see on campus wearing the same exact uniform day-in and day-out: a "so-and-so University A.D." polo tucked into a pair of khakis. Without saying anything or looking up from his iPad, he gave me a nonchalant flick-of-the-wrist wave as I grabbed my keys hanging beside the front door. He knew exactly where I was going.
The roads were pretty sparse at that time in the morning; I always tried to hit the highway before Denver rush hour and it was not long before I left the interstate behind. After about forty minutes, I pulled off to the side of a secluded dirt road at the trail-head. From there, it was a twenty minute hike to a clearing between the tall pines. The rock formation in question was a cliff face that rose a little more than a hundred feet above the ground. A climber installed loop bolts into the rock some number of years ago, but based on the remoteness of this spot, I was probably the only person who still used them.
Before embarking on the hike, I slid my phone under the front seat of my car for safe keeping and checked my iPod to make sure that it was charged. Of all things, I usually chose to listen to one of two things as I climb: a comedy podcast and audio from SoccerGrlProbs videos. These kept me relaxed, something that's important when climbing. If a climber is too tense, he or she may be reluctant to reach for the next hold, using up valuable energy while remaining stationary. The goal of climbing is simple: keep moving upwards.
While I'll spare you the details of the setup, the configuration of my safety line was quite simple. A large and aging oak tree above the cliff served as an anchor point; the line was tied around the trunk and then strung through two clips attached to loop bolts (drilled directly into the rock) near the top of the cliff. These served as primary support and backup support – if one failed, the other would keep me from falling.
Excited to climb outdoors for the first time in a while, I exchanged my running shoes for my climbing shoes, put on my helmet, and secured my harness. After queuing up a playlist of SGP videos, I pulled myself onto the wall.
As I started to climb, I felt a delightful sense of familiarity. It was pure muscle memory. Just as a striker knows exactly when he/she has contacted the ball just right or a goalkeeper instinctively dives with perfect form to save the shot, my body knew exactly what holds to grasp, where to reach, and what path to take up the cliff.
A crimson red bolt signified the quarter-way mark. I paused for a moment to adjust my harness. I set my right foot down on a piece of rock that suddenly fell away as I pushed up for leverage. Within a split second, I heard a sound over my earbuds that I can only analogize to two wine glasses being noisily clinked together. I looked up just in time to see the line go slack. Then I fell – and continued falling – before slamming into the cold, rock-hard ground thirty feet below.
I'm not sure how long I laid supine and motionless at the base of the cliff. My ears were ringing. Little colorful dots flitted in and out of my field of vision. I was scared to move but at the same time afraid that I wouldn't be able to move at all.
At very least, my helmet (though cracked straight down the middle) had protected my skull. My neck and back were seemingly intact. After summing up the courage, I was almost thrilled that I could still wiggle my fingers and toes. But the brief ecstasy that I could move my limbs was quickly erased by an excruciating pain that tore down my left leg. I screamed louder than I ever had before, tears forming in the corners of my eyes. I had never previously experienced that kind of agony. I was almost certain that I had shattered my left femur. I suspected that I had broken my hip, several ribs, and God knew what else. I distinctly recall the feeling and taste of blood dripping down the back of my throat.
Then I remembered my phone, the phone I had tucked away under the front passenger seat of my car. I'm fairly certain some of the screaming I did was just as much a product of pain as it was anger at myself. I never saw a reason to bring it along when I climbed. I figured it was prone to get rained on or broken or lost.
Oddly enough, not only had my earbuds survived the fall, but they had stayed firmly in place – their arms securely tucked behind my ears. As I laid on the ground, SoccerGrlProbs played on, providing an eerily comedic backdrop to the grim scenario.
It was a struggle to stave off the enticing temptation of unconsciousness. I knew that I couldn't afford to pass out. Anatomy class had taught me that such serious trauma to the body often meant severe internal injuries that could prove fatal even if the individual survived the initial fall.
Waiting for someone to find me was not an option either. One summer, just out of pure curiosity, I left a piece of cord clipped to one of the loops near the top of the cliff. If someone else was climbing here, that piece of cord have been disturbed or missing when I returned. It stayed in place for the entire summer.
I must have spent the next forty minutes untangling myself from my harness and trying to stand up without collapsing from the pain. Eventually, I was able to get myself to the point where I could take a few steps before stopping. I kept telling myself that any progress towards the car was good progress, no matter how slow.
With each step, a wave of pain washed over my entire lower body. More spread through my sides with every breath. Blood poured from my nose. I'm pretty sure that if a lone hiker had come across me at that point, he or she would have run screaming in the other direction – certain that the zombie takeover had started. My walk was not a walk at all, it was more of a drunken shuffle. After every couple of steps, I had to pause and lean on the pole. My head was pounding. My stomach churned. I can't even begin to estimate the number of times I stumbled and fell.
During this whole ordeal, SoccerGrlProbs videos continued to play. I didn't care that I had heard the same audio from the same video four or five times already. It helped to hear comforting voices in my ears, voices that could put my mind at ease and help me forget about the pain. I'm fairly certain that I cracked a smile a few times. As stupid as it may sound: Alanna, Carly, and Shannon were with me, right beside me, the whole entire time.
By the time that I reached my car, my legs were covered with cuts and scrapes. A distinctly sharp and stabbing pain had developed in my left shoulder. For a moment, I placed my hand on the cold metal of the trunk for support, too exhausted to do much else. With every ounce of strength that I had left, I unlocked the passenger side and reached for my phone. The 911 operator assured me that help was fast approaching.
I was rushed to a hospital about thirty minutes away.The x-rays painted a clear picture of the trauma that my body had endured: my left femur was shattered, four of my ribs (two on each side) were fractured, and my upper left arm was broken in two places. I had suffered internal injuries to my kidneys and lungs. My spleen had ruptured and had been progressively leaking blood. Had I waited for help, the rate of blood loss meant that I would have likely died in as little as seven or eight hours. Miraculously, my skull, back, and neck were left entirely unharmed.
Not long after I was released from the hospital, my brother took a solo trip out to the cliff. It was something of a favor to me; I wanted to know if there was any indication as to what had gone wrong with my equipment that morning. He discovered two rusted bolts on the ground beneath the rock. These were those all important safety anchors near the top; they had pulled loose from the cliff-face, presumably when my weight jerked down on the line after I slipped. I had been careless, hadn't checked the amount of rope I was using, hadn't ensured that everything was in working order. When I do start climbing again, I plan to do so with a healthy new respect for pre-climb equipment checks.
My prognosis is quite good. With physical therapy and proper healing, my doctor says that I will likely be back to my old self by this coming winter (at the earliest) and certainly no later than this time next year. I look forward to that, look forward to getting back to climbing.
I apologize for the novel, but as a final note to Alanna, Carly, and Shannon: thank you, thank you so so much. Others may see it differently, but just hearing your voices in my ears as I struggled to find help kept me composed and relaxed. It was incredibly comforting, incredibly soothing to have some sort of diversion from the pain and fear that I was experiencing. There were so many times during that long walk to find help that I thought I wouldn't be able to make it. I don't know if I would have been able to keep my mind in the right place if I didn't have you with me. In a nutshell, you three saved my life and I will be forever grateful.
Goodness, this story made me tear up.
Lilli: you are one badass woman.

Quick Peek At Google Glass
Google Glass is an innovative type of personal electronics device. Unlike most electronics, they are worn on the head and controlled with speech. Google intends for them to be the world's first 'ubiquitous computer'. The display is small and gives its wearer data in a similar way to a smart phone.
Google provides the wearer with a choice of four frame styles made by the Italian luxury eye wear company Luxottica. The Google Glass screen and computer are easily movable from one frame to another. The Google Glass device is the smallest yet mass-produced head-up display. It is more streamlined than military standard gear and lighter than a pair of typical sunglasses. In April of 2013, Google started the 'Explorer Edition'. These early prototypes cost $1,500 each. Now, a limited number are available to the public at much less. A wide release of Google Glass is scheduled for later in 2014.
Google Glass runs a specialized version of Android. It uses the Google Play marketplace. It will run many standard Android applications. It uses a full range of Google's software, including Google Maps, Google Now, Gmail and others.
Many developers have begun to create apps just for Glass. All applications developed for Glass must be created to run without ads, for free.
Praise and Concerns
Glass has been widely praised for the great technological advancement that it is. At the same time, it has raised many fears about privacy. There are worries about people recording others without their knowledge. Others worry about unscrupulous people using the device to stalk strangers in public.

GBUK RT "Tatarkino" Through the dialogue of cultures - to a culture of dialogue
Russia-Islamic World Group to Award 300,000 Rubles to one of the Participants of the Kazan Film Festival
Russia - Islamic World Strategic Vision Group continues its partnership with the Kazan International Muslim Film Festival, which 16th edition will be held in a closed format. A Special Prize for the Dialogue of Cultures in the Islamic World established by the group with a monetary reward of 300,000 rubles will be awarded to one of the 10 films of the Russia - Islamic World special program of the festival. Along with the competition program, this parallel program of the festival was developed by the Selection Committee under the supervision of Sergei Anashkin, a Russian film critic, basing on the entries received in 2020.
'Russia - Islamic World program is constituted by films produced in the member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation', comments Sergey Anashkin. 'The religious aspect of the selection was not decisive. The characters of the films are people of different faiths and cultural backgrounds. Most films were made in co-production with European or Asian partners. For the selection of this program, it was decided to abandon thematic and stylistic uniformity to present the diversity of the cinematography of the OIC countries. This is why it includes not only social dramas from Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, but also comedies from Azerbaijan and Tajikistan. Iranian and French-Algerian films tend to be parables. The biographical 'legend' from Bangladesh takes place during the Bengali Middle Ages. The Afghan drama focuses on the period of the Soviet presence in Kabul. The film from Burkina Faso combines adventure and psychological drama. Overall, the films of the Russia – Islamic World program share the same motif of the dialogue of cultures.
Russia - Islamic World Strategic Vision Group was established in 2006 under the leadership of Yevgeny Primakov and Mintimer Shaymiev, when the Russian Federation joined the OIC in an observer status. The group is chaired by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov. The group has been a partner of the Kazan Film Festival since 2017.
Since 2005 Kazan Muslim Film Festival is one of the largest film forums in Russia held annually in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. The festival focuses on Russian and international films promoting the ideas of peacebuilding, intercultural dialogue, and tolerance regardless of their religious affiliations. The concept of the festival is reflected through its official motto 'Through the dialogue of cultures to the culture of dialogue'
The festival is organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Council of Muftis of the Russian Federation, the Executive Committee of Kazan, Tatarkino State Budgetary Institution of Culture with the participation of the regional branch of the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation and with the partnership of Russia-Islamic World Strategic Vision Group. The festival is held under the support of Rustam Minnikhanov the President of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Tsunamis: What to know in Ventura County
ccarlson@vcstar.com, 805-437-0260
The goal sounds relatively simple.
If a tsunami hits, get to higher ground.
But then there are the unknowns.
How long will people have to leave? Where do they go? How do they get there? How will they even know that a tsunami is about to strike?
Those are some of the issues state and local officials addressed at town hall meetings this week and that an updated smartphone app was designed to answer.
"A big part of people's ability to persevere through a disaster and recover is to prepare beforehand," said Kevin McGowan, manager of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services.
He recommended that people find out more about the hazard that might be relatively infrequent locally but that also can be destructive and difficult to protect against.
An estimated 22,000 people who live in the county's coastal areas are at risk during a tsunami — a long ocean surge most commonly caused by an earthquake under the ocean floor. They can come from across the globe or just offshore.
If one strikes here, the best thing for those people to do is leave the inundation zone, McGowan said.
"That's our most successful strategy for reducing loss of life," he said.
Over the past several months, local agencies have worked to revise and update emergency plans and develop the new "READY VC" smartphone app available for iOS phones.
It provides a how-to guide to get prepared, but also has an interactive map that uses the phone's location to provide real-time information showing whether someone is in an inundation zone.
Plans call for making it available on other smartphone systems, as well, officials said, and the information also is available online at readyventuracounty.org and http://myhazards.caloes.ca.gov.
Over the past 200 years, at least nine tsunamis have hit the Ventura County. All but one came from distant locations, which means people get more time to prepare and, if necessary, to leave the area.
While most tsunamis that reach the Southern California coast won't cause a lot of flooding, they could generate strong currents in ports and harbors.
"The first surge is not usually the largest," said Rick Wilson, a scientist with the California Geological Survey.
"That's just the beginning of the tsunami," he said during a meeting in Ventura this week. "Tsunamis last a very long time. They can last up to 24 hours or more."
Officials urged residents to look up the county's inundation zones and also to prepare an emergency kit, make a plan and sign up for alerts at vcalert.org.
What are natural warning signs of a tsunami?
Ground shaking at the beach for 20 seconds or more.
Water receding (unusually).
A load ocean roar.
What if a tsunami strikes?
If the ground is still shaking, drop, cover and hold on.
When it is safe to move, go to higher ground.
If you are not in a tsunami hazard zone, stay put.
What do the alerts mean?
Warning: Damaging currents and inundating waves over 3 feet; move to higher ground.
Advisory: Strong currents and waves below 3 feet. Stay away from harbors, marinas and the shore.
Watch: Potential tsunami watch, which may later impact the coastal area.
