Opendesk was an initiative to produce furniture on the principles of Open Making, which stopped sharing their design files with the public at least since 2020. Designs were released under Creative Commons licenses. One of Opendesk's goals is to eliminate the cost of shipping completed products in favour of local fabrication.

Opendesk was founded  by Ian Bennink, Tim Carrigan, James Arthur, Joni Steiner and Nick Ierodiaconou; the last three founders were part of Development 00, the creators of WikiHouse. The same team previously created FabHub.io, a marketplace designed to allow designers and fabricators to engage with one another.

Concept
Users were able to choose between four degrees of completion for designs, distinguished by price and the technical fabrication requirements:

 Plans, in .dwg and .dwx formats, and instructions in PDF, for the experienced carpenter capable of building furniture from scratch
 Packs of raw wood, pre-sawn by CNC machine
 Flat pack furniture that is cut, oiled and ready to be assembled
 Completed and assembled final products

Opendesk's designs use a system of interlocking wooden fins to hold pieces together firmly without nails or bolts. The choice of wood to use is up to the builder; in the United Kingdom, a popular choice has been birch and plywood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

, the Opendesk range featured six items: the Desk, Café Table, Meeting Table, Edie set, Edie Stool and Edie Table.

Currently, OpenDesk does not work under the Open Making principles. They do not share their designs with the public any longer. Their model is now for-profit, where the website provides a quotation from local manufacturers, when available in your area. If no local manufacturers exist, they still do not provide the files to build the furniture yourself.

History
The project was born out of a commission for furniture for a tech startup in London, England. When the startup's sister office in New York City required furniture, it was decided to manufacture it locally rather than ship the completed product. Opendesk targeted startups along with creative companies and nonprofit organisations as a customer base. These types of organisations typically request flat pack products, while commercial organisations prefer fully assembled furniture.

At some point during or prior to 2020, OpenDesk stopped sharing their designs with the public, distancing themselves from the Open Making principles.

Reception
Opendesk was the subject of an exhibition named "The Future Is Here" at the Design Museum in London, which ran until October 2013. It featured designs from around the world, with assigned QR codes which can be used to access information on each design and its creator.

Numerous users have requested OpenDesk to share their designs without success, and the project is no longer considered an Open Making initiative.

Cases reported "Retinal Diseases"
11/190. Photodynamic therapy of a subretinal neovascular membrane in type 2A idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis.
PURPOSE: To report the outcome of a patient with a subretinal neovascular membrane secondary to idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis treated with photodynamic female therapy. methods: Interventional case report. A 43-year-old female with type 2A idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis presented with a 2-week history of decreased vision and a subretinal neovascular membrane in the left eye. RESULTS: Visual improvement from 20/70-2 to 20/50-2 in the left eye was observed after two photodynamic therapy treatments of a juxtafoveal subretinal neovascular membrane with verteporfin, and was maintained through 7 months of follow-up. fluorescein angiography showed no leakage specific to the subretinal neovascular membrane, but leakage from the juxtafoveal telangiectasis continued. CONCLUSION: A substantial improvement was seen in this patient after treatment of the juxtafoveal subretinal neovascular membrane by photodynamic therapy. Given the poor prognosis of these lesions, photodynamic therapy may therefore be a useful treatment for patients with subretinal neovascular membranes associated with idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis.

12/190. Vitreous surgery combined with internal limiting membrane peeling for traumatic macular hole with severe retinal folds.
PURPOSE: To report a case of a traumatic macular hole with severe retinal folds in which vitreous surgery combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling was beneficial. To demonstrate that the area from which the ILM was peeled can be clearly differentiated by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. methods: A posterior hyaloid detachment was created during vitreous surgery on a 34 year old man with a traumatic macular hole. The remaining vitreous was resected and the ILM was peeled. The fundus was examined through a scanning laser ophthalmoscope before and after the surgery. RESULTS: The retinal folds disappeared concurrently with the detachment of the ILM, resulting in closure of the macular hole. The area from which the ILM was peeled was clearly observed through the scanning laser ophthalmoscope. CONCLUSION: In this patient, it was helpful to perform not only posterior hyaloid detachment but also ILM peeling. The scanning laser ophthalmoscope was highly useful for observing the area from which the ILM was peeled.
13/190. A case of Coats' disease with a peeling of premacular fibrosis after photocoagulation.
We report a 26-year-old man with Coats' disease associated with premacular fibrosis. As an initial treatment, the peripheral exduative area was treated with argon laser photocoagulation. Six weeks later, the premacular fibrosis was peeled off and the posterior vitreous membrane was also detached. The patient's visual acuity improved to 20/20. We also observed a change of the vitreous component before and after the treatment that was similar to posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). This is the first reported case in which a distinct vitreous change was observed after premacular fibrosis peeling in Coat's disease.
14/190. Subretinal fibrous membrane following argon laser photocoagulation of presumed histoplasmic maculopathy.
Following an initial improvement after argon laser slit-lamp photocoagulation of histoplasmic choroiditis, progressive visual loss occurred. Histopathological examination showed a dense fibrous membrane between Bruch's membrane and the sensory retina. There was no recurrence of hemorrhage or subretinal fluid. This case report provides an explanation for visual loss in the absence of recurrent inflammation or vascular leakage.
15/190. Photodynamic therapy for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization secondary to rubella retinopathy.
PURPOSE: To describe a patient for whom photodynamic therapy was used to treat subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to rubella retinopathy. DESIGN: Interventional case report.methods: A 36-year-old man with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to rubella retinopathy was treated with photodynamic therapy using verteporfin. Outcome was followed up with subsequent fundus examinations, fluorescein angiography, and evaluations of best-corrected visual acuity. RESULTS: Two treatments of photodynamic therapy using verteporfin resulted in involution of the neovascular membrane, resolution of subretinal hemorrhage, and improvement in best-corrected visual acuity from 20/200 to 20/60 2 months after the second treatment. Owing to recurrence of active choroidal neovascularization, the patient required two more treatments of photodynamic therapy in the next 6 months, after which his best-corrected visual acuity was restored to 20/60. CONCLUSION: Photodynamic therapy may be an effective treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to rubella retinopathy.
16/190. Familial retinal arterial macroaneurysms.
PURPOSE: To describe the salient clinical features and course of a new entity. METHOD: Retrospective study of the clinical examinations, photographic and angiographic documentation, and clinical course of seven children from three unrelated Saudi families with multiple retinal arterial macroaneurysms. RESULTS: There were four females and three males: one set of two sisters (patients 1 and 2), a brother and a sister (patients 3 and 4), and a sister and two brothers (patients 5, 6 and 7). The age at first symptoms ranged from 3 months to 19 years. The first four cases were labeled for many years as "atypical bilateral Coats." Each patient demonstrated the presence of beading and macroaneurysms along the major retinal arterial trunks bilaterally. In five patients, recurrent bleeding and leakage from these macroaneurysms occurred, resulting in visual loss. The blood was mainly located under the internal limiting membrane. It reabsorbed spontaneously in all patients, with improved visual acuity. In three patients, argon laser photocoagulation of leaking macroaneurysms was followed by clinical improvement. Follow-up ranged from 18 months to 17 years (average = 7.8 years). CONCLUSION: The authors report, to the best of their knowledge, a new condition that they propose to call "familial retinal arterial macroaneurysms."
17/190. Menkes' kinky hair disease: a light and electron microscopic study of the eye.
light and electron microscopic studies of the ocular tissue of a case of Menkes' kinky hair disease are described. The copper deficiency responsible for this systemic and neurologic disease appears to cause a progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells, loss of nerve fibers, and optic atrophy. The pigment epithelium is also abnormal with only small and irregular melanin granules present among electron-dense inclusion bodies. Abnormal elastica is present in Bruch's membrane.
18/190. Management of choroidal neovascularization following laser photocoagulation for central serous chorioretinopathy.
Little is known about the natural history and management of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) which developed as a complication of laser photocoagulation for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). We experienced two patients with CNV which developed after laser treatment for CSC. Submacular membranectomy was performed on both cases after the confirmation of subretinal CNV with optical coherence tomography. One patient received photodynamic therapy for recurrent CNV. The vision of both patients has been improved over 6 months of follow up. These cases suggest that active intervention, including submacular surgery, improves the visual prognosis of this condition.
19/190. Lamellar macular hole: a complication of cystoid macular edema after cataract extraction.
A woman developed an inner lamellar macular hole and cellophane maculopathy as a complication of chronic cystoid macular edema following cataract extraction. fluorescein angiography revealed a cystoid pattern of fluorescence in the paracentral area but no evidence of staining in the region of the hole. Following death, histopathologic examination of both eyes confirmed the clinical observations. Biomicroscopic examination and fluorescein angiography are of value in differentiating an inner lamellar macular hole from a full-thickness macular hole and from a pseudomacular hole caused by spontaneous contraction of an epiretinal membrane.

20/190. Enhanced visualization of macular pathology with the use of ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography.
OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate a new generation of ophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology with unprecedented axial resolution for enhanced imaging of intraretinal microstructures and to investigate its clinical feasibility to visualize intraretinal morphology of macular pathology. methods: A clinically viable ultrahigh-resolution ophthalmic OCT system was developed and used in clinical imaging for the first time. Fifty-six eyes of 40 selected patients with different macular diseases including macular hole, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorioretinopathy, epiretinal membranes, and detachment of pigment epithelium and sensory retina were included. OUTCOME MEASURES: Ultrahigh-resolution tomograms visualizing intraretinal morphologic features in different retinal diseases. RESULTS: An axial image resolution of approximately 3 micro m was achieved in the eyes examined, nearly 2 orders of magnitude better than conventional ophthalmic ultrasound. Ultrahigh-resolution OCT images provided additional diagnostically important information on intraretinal morphologic features that could not have been obtained by standard techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrahigh-resolution ophthalmic OCT enables unprecedented visualization of intraretinal morphologic features and therefore has the potential to contribute to a better understanding of ocular pathogenesis, as well as to enhance the sensitivity and specificity for early ophthalmic diagnosis and to monitor the efficacy of therapy. This study establishes a baseline for the interpretation of ultrahigh-resolution ophthalmic OCT imaging of macular diseases.

My name is Alexis Bates. I was a part of the 2017 Strasbourg Program. I spent three weeks in Strasbourg, France experiencing a new life. When I applied to study abroad, I didn't really know if I was interested in going. I knew I wanted to Study Abroad some time but I didn't think I would be able to study abroad so soon. I got accepted and I was really excited but I knew that I probably wasn't going to go. No one in my family had ever been out the country and for me to know that I could be the first was so unreal.
I didn't decide I was going to go until two months before it was time for me to depart. I did everything late and at one point I thought that I wouldn't be able to go because my passport didn't come until the week it was time for me to get on the plane. I learned so much and I experienced a lot. I got to know how it feels to travel alone. It's almost like I grew up and had to take care of myself with none of my family by my side. I was put in situations where speaking French was my only option and that was probably one of the most challenging of them all.
My French vocabulary increased and I feel a lot more comfortable with trying even I got get it wrong. Another big thing I had to learn was to pace myself when I got lost. There were several situations where I wanted to explore and got lost. It was very scary but I was able to overcome the fears. Overall, studying abroad is an experience that has now opened my eyes to wanting to travel more, encouraging my family to travel and telling people tips and tasks I had to learn when I was there.


Books 1-6 are awesome! other than a few complaints, I feel like the last three were amazing. I wish Jordan wrote them, but Sanderson really did a fantastic job.
Nandar Riatin, Welcome to the Black Tower!!!
Thank you Thank you. I was reading through some of the rules on the black tower's separate web page and now I cant decide whether to be with the dark or the light! What would you guys recomend? I dont want to choose one and then switch later. Thanks for them brownies, they're tasting oh so tainted!
Nandar Riatin replied to Nandar Riatin's topic in Introduce Yourself!
Thank you cairos. Is it possilble to be in multiple groups or factions? For example, could I be active in the band and also in the black tower or the aiel? Or can you only be in one group at a time?
I always thought that winters heart was really underrated. That was my favorite book until I read the gathering storm. It is a lot of Rand and Mat and all things going on in this book make it awesome! Plus, the ending. Gotta love that.

"When you laugh I hear that sound; it's stuck in my head."
The title has proven to be a self-fulfilling prophecy: Nick Fabian's song "Stuck in My Head" will do just that — get stuck in your head. Give it a quick listen, and you'll understand the viral attention it has received on Facebook.
But Nick is looking to take it one step further: he wants to hit 10,000 downloads of the song on Noisetrade, and he needs your help.
Easy enough. But get this: It's free. That's right. Free.
And it doesn't stop there. Once Nick's song hits 10,000 downloads on Noisetrade, everyone who downloaded the song will get an e-mail with a free download of Nick's entire EP and a three-month subscriptionto Love Good Music. (Haven't heard of Love Good Music? We wrote about them here.)
But he has to reach 10,000 downloads. So let's help Nick out here (and selfishly help ourselves a little too!).
First, like and share this article on Facebookso that more people can get in on this opportunity.
Second, go to Love Good Musicto get your free download. You will be asked to enter your e-mail, and you will be sent the link to download "Stuck in My Head" right away. Then, once it reaches 10,000 downloads, you will receive another e-mail with the link to download Nick's EP and your free three-month subscription to Love Good Music.
Now, what are you waiting for?

Soldier killed, five injured in DI Khan roadside blasts
DERA ISMAIL KHAN: A soldier was killed and five others, including a captain, sustained injuries in two separate attacks on the security forces convoys in the district, sources said on Tuesday.
The sources said that a convoy of the security forces was heading to Kulachi tehsil from Atala when it was targeted with an improvised explosive device (IED). A soldier identified as Subedar Khalid was killed on the spot while the other soldiers remained unhurt.
Another convoy of the security forces was moving in Luni area near the Frontier Region (FR) Dera Ismail Khan Monday evening when an IED planted on the roadside exploded. Five soldiers, including an Army captain sustained injuries in the blast. The identity of the injured soldiers could not be ascertained as they were shifted to the Combined Military Hospital in Dera Ismail Khan.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks on the security forces so far.Meanwhile, television channels reported that the authorities had imposed a curfew in Kulachi tehsil after the attack on the security forces convoy.
The personnel of the security forces and the law-enforcement agencies usually start search operations after such incidents in a bid to track down the attackers. Two attacks on the security forces convoys in one day in the same district is something unusual, even if it happened in Dera Ismail Khan which is located close to the boundary with South Waziristan and the FR Dera Ismail Khan and FR Tank.
APP adds from Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif strongly condemned the attack on security vehicles in Dera Ismail Khan.Extending condolences to the family of martyred and injured personnel, the prime minister said such acts cannot weaken the government's resolve in eradicating the menace of terrorism.

Acylation-stimulating protein increases and correlates with increased progesterone levels during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle
Jumana Saleh, Manal Al-Khanbashi, Majida Al-Maarof, Mohsin Al-Lawati, Syed G. Rizvi, Katherine Cianflone
Family Medicine And Public Health ( FAMCO )
Objective: The menstrual cycle represents a continuous state of change in terms of female sex steroid environment. Progesterone is linked to increased fat storage while estrogen exerts anti-lipogenic effects. This study investigated variations in the potent lipogenic factor acylation-stimulating protein (ASP), and examined its association with hormonal and lipid profile alterations across the menstrual cycle. Methods and design: Nineteen non-obese women with regular menstrual cycles were investigated in a longitudinal study during the follicular, ovulatory, and mid-luteal phases (ML) of the cycle. Fasting ASP, LH, FSH, progesterone, estradiol, insulin, lipid profile, and apoproteins were evaluated during different phases of the cycle. Results: ASP levels changed significantly throughout the menstrual cycle (K-related Friedman test: P=0.013). Interestingly, these changes coincide with variations in progesterone levels across the cycle as no significant change in the ASP levels was seen across the follicular phases of the cycle, followed by a significant increase in the ovulatory phase, which continued to elevate toward the ML. The ASP levels correlated positively with the progesterone levels normally elevated in the ML. No significant correlation was seen between ASP and estrogen or any other measured female hormone. Multiple regression analysis including all measured parameters and body mass index showed that progesterone was the only significant predictor of the ASP levels. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that during the menstrual cycle of normal women, the ASP levels coincidentally fluctuate with the progesterone levels, possibly reflecting cooperation between them in fat storage enhancement.

As at the moment I have a very busy schedule (working and writting my thesis) the number of post has decreased, but I just started microblogging in Twitter, I hope this will help me keeping posting. You can follow the posts in the page of Twitter itself, through RSS, TwitterFox or in the side bar of the new website. I hope you enjoy all the new things! See you!
Depois de mais de três anos escrevendo aqui é tempo de mudar. Agora o Costurando Livros tem uma nova casa: aqui. Como a agenda anda cheia (com o trabalho e a tese por escrever) eu tenho escrito menos, mas agora eu comecei a postar no Twitter também. Espero que assim eu consiga postar mais. Você pode acompanhar os microposts na própria página do Twitter, por RSS, TwitterFox ou até mesno na barra lateral do novo site. Então você não tem desculpa para esquecer do Costurando! Inté!
It's seems that the French publishing Larousse house will try to compete with Wikipedia. They made their encyclopedic content access for free and also open the possibility for the user to contribute. But unlike the Wikipedia, only identified users are allowed to contribute. Great news for the French speakers and I hope the company decides to do the same with the content they have in other languages (including Portuguese). The question is if they are going to use users' content in their future print editions (if they're going to exist). I think it can be a great business model to keep their content updated, but let's see if users will agree on helping for free in improving a content that can be sold in other formats in the future.
Parece que a francesa Larousse vai tentar competir com a Wikipedia. Eles deram livre acesso ao seu conteúdo enciclopédico e os usuários ainda podem contribuir. Mas ao contrário da Wikipedia, apenas usuários identificados podem contribuir. Boas notícias para os falantes do francês e eu espero que a editora decida fazer o mesmo com os conteúdos que possui em outras línguas (incluindo o Português). A questão agora é se eles vão usar o conteúdo dos usuários em suas futuras edições impressas (se elas ainda foram existir). Pode ser um bom modelo de negócio para manter o conteúdo atualizado, mas resta saber se os usuários vão concordar em ajudar a melhorar um conteúdo que poderá ser vendido em outros formatos no futuro.

Through the The Bonefolder website (see the previous post) I run to this acronym, LOCKSS, which stands for Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe. Cool name, isn't it? And it "is an international non-profit community initiative that provides tools and support so libraries can easily and cost-effectively preserve today's web-published materials for tomorrow's readers".
Coming back to the roots of this blog: the new issue of The Bonefolder - an e-journal for the bookbinder and book artist is already available.
"The Bonefolder, an outgrowth of the Book Arts Web, is a peer-reviewed "open-access" e-journal for bookbinding and the book arts. Since fall of 2004, the Bonefolder has reached a global audience and contributed to the body of knowledge in the book arts both theoretically and practically."
And, by the way, The Bonefolder is listed in the Directory of Open Acess Journals.

Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Politeness"
What does the definition of politeness mean?
What is the difference between politeness and civility ?
This is an advanced question which shows your level of mastery of the language. Politeness can simply mean being respectful. Civility can mean being polite and indicates you are trying to maintain high moral standards. Like not raising your voice or getting into arguments. In everyday conversation, they can be used interchangeably.
What is the difference between courtesy and politeness ?
courtesy and politeness are essentially the same thing. the only difference is how they're used. you wouldn't typically say "show some politeness." you'd say "show some courtesy". i hope that was helpful.
What is the difference between politeness and courtesy and civility ?
Polite (adjective) / politeness (noun) = showing good manners towards others with behavior, speech. - The polite woman said thank you to all her guests. - I felt like the politeness of everyone tonight made the dinner go smoothly. Courtesy (noun) = good manners. Polite behavior. A respectful act. -Today's teenagers are rude and don't show courtesy to their elders. -we took the courtesy shuttle to our hotel. Civility (noun) = another way of saying courtesy or politeness. -why is civility lacking from political discussions?
"We should see that being polite is not something about others but about ourselves. We have been taught for several decades to lead a dignified life. Respecting others means not only being courteous to other people but also treating ourselves with dignity. In other words, when you insult others, you are humiliating yourself. It makes no sense to downgrade our manners to retaliate against those who are misbehaving themselves. It just brings us shame and makes other people look down on us. We should try to stay calm and courteous, even to those who seem to not deserve our respect, even though it's not always easy." This sounds a bit more natural.
Japanese tend to respect older people and value politeness. does this sound natural?
Sounds pretty could but you could also say "Japanese tend to respect the elderly and value politeness"
"means, the word "Do" means politeness? " Is it correct? Why without" does "?
Please show me how to pronounce politeness.
Ms. Nelson I hope everything is well with you. I'm writing this email to ask your help and ... does this sound natural?
Almost perfect. Ms. Nelson I hope everything is well with you. I'm writing this email to ask your help and advice regarding a lease contract with our tenant. We told them that we wouldn't renew the contract with them on May 11, but they complained that it was too short notice and that we lacked politeness and respect. I would avoid using the word "problem" , because for now, it's simply an issue between two parties. It becomes a problem when you have to take a tenant to court. I will say that in the state of Texas, if a landlord does not want to give a tenant the option to renew the lease, the landlord must give the tenant at least 60 days written notice prior to the end of the lease period. The more advanced notice you can give the tenant, the better you look in court if the tenant takes you to court. However, it has been my experience that too much advanced notice gives the tenant more time to trash/damage your property.
Please show me how to pronounce send, receive, respect, force, cost, politeness, move, dream, wake, exactly.
Perhaps the most polite expression uses the conditional tense, "Would you like a muffin, Peter ?".

Q: Uncaught type Error: b is undefined. How to resolve such errors? I was solving Euler problem no 48 and arrived at the solution-. Basically I tried to calculate self powers storing their digits in an array. The link to the question is https://projecteuler.net/problem=48
However I am getting an unexpected error. The error message displayed is Uncaught error b is undefined
function selfPower(n,b)
{
    var carry,i=1,j;
    b[0][n-1]=1;
    while(i<=n)
    {
        carry=0,j=0;
        while(b[j])
        {
            b[j][n-1]=b[j][n-1]*n+carry;
            carry= Math.floor(b[j][n-1]/10);
            b[j][n-1]%=10;
            j++;
        }
        while(carry>0){
            b[j][n-1]=carry;
            carry=Math.floor(b[j][n-1]/10);
            b[j][n-1]%=10;
            j++;
        }
        i++;
    }
}
var a=[][1000];
var str="";
for(i=1;i<=1000;i++){
    selfPower(i,a);
}
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
    for(j=1;j<1000;j++)
    a[i][0]+=a[i][j];

    a[i][0]+=carry;
    carry=Math.floor(a[i][0]/10);
    a[i][0]%=10;
    str=a[i][0]+str;
}
document.getElementById('output').textContent= str;

However I am getting an error on line no 4 giving Uncaught Typeerror: b is undefined.
How can I resolve this?

A: Their is flaw in the way the array has been initialized in the above code
If you want to be able access the matrix like so matrix[i][j]
I find it the most convenient to initialize it in a loop.
var matrix = [],
    cols = 3;

//init the grid matrix
for ( var i = 0; i < cols; i++ ) {
    matrix[i] = [];
}

this will give you [ [], [], [] ]
so matrix[0][0] matrix[1][0] return undefined and not the error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property '0' of undefined"
So if you rewrite the code it will be
var a=[]
var i,j;
for(i=1;i<=1000;i++){
    a[i-1]=[];
    a[i-1][0]=1;
    selfPower(i,a);
}

This will resolve the problem

History in 5 minutes
Once upon a time there were two soldiers
Two batyrs from one Kazakh aul of the Omsk region were presented to the titles of the Hero of the Soviet Union and the Full Cavalier of the Order of Glory
During the Second World War showed their courage and heroism our compatriots-Kazakhs of the Omsk region where today about 100 thousand people live. Only from one village, consisting of 6 auls of the Amangeldy collective farm in the Maryanovsky district of the Omsk region, 176 people were drafted. Of these, 72 people disappeared and died at the fronts of the war (documents from the front arrived), 52 people returned from the battlefields to the aul of Dombay, and there is still no information about the others.
Here we would like to briefly talk about the heroism of the two men who committed genuine heroism. Within the framework of the presidential program "Tugan Zher", it is our duty to remember our fellow tribesmen scattered throughout the various republics of the former USSR and foreign countries. They are part of the Kazakh nation and its glorious history, bearers of unique national code. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the portal "NDH" of JSC "QazContent" launched a program of studying and promoting the history and culture of foreign compatriots.
Maemirov Almukh (1922-1989) - Full Cavalier of the Order of Glory
In one of the spring days of 1965 a correspondent of the newspaper "Pravda" arrived in the aul of Dombay in the Maryanovsky district. A man in a black leather coat asked: "Do we know Almukh Maemirov?" Adults and children accompanied the correspondent to the office manager Smagulov Ramazan, after a short introduction to each other the manager sent him to the field where one of the most modest residents of the aul A. Maemirov was holding snow on his tractor at that time.
From conversations it was clear that the inconspicuous and taciturn tractor driver Almukh Maemirov during the war was a mortar gunner, as he was also called - a sniper, and in every battle he destroyed machine gun crew, the infantry of the enemy. Every time after the battle, he wounded, contused, got into the hospital, and each time the command represented him to the award, to the same Order of "Glory" of the third degree. But the reward did not find the hero, as after the recovery he each time fell into another part, even on another front. And so it was repeated three times. This correspondent, working in the archives, drew attention to the repeated name and similarity of situations, and, thanks to his efforts, the soldier found his front-line reward. Given this circumstance, the Presidium of the USSR Armed Forces awarded him with the orders of "Glory" of all degrees.
But his life has not changed. With his large family, he lived in a small dug-out, shy to even ask for a solid house in the central manor. He believed that families of veterans who did not return from the war deserved improvements in housing conditions more than others.
The hero fought near Leningrad, Volkhov in the 54th Army of General Fedyuninsky. In defending the approaches to the city of Volkhov, he was awarded the first Order of Glory of the third degree for showing courage and heroism. The second order was awarded for the liberation of the city of Riga, he destroyed several bunkers and three guns of the enemy, since then he was called the sniper of the 20th Guards Rifle Regiment. The next Order of Glory was awarded for the fact that on the approaches to the city of Aust in Germany, Almukh destroyed the German infantry column.
He was demobilized in November, 1945. With his wife he brought up 8 children.
Musabayev Shakhuali (1918-1985) - a front-line hero
Musabayev Shakhuali (1918-1985) was very modest; a front-line soldier awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky and the Red Star, graduated from the Alma-Ata Pedagogical Institute before the war and managed to work in the Kzyltu school of Almaty region as a history teacher. He was a participant in Berlin assault.
For courage and heroism Musabayev Sh. was presented to the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", but, according to archival data, the commander of the 1st Guards Tank Army, while the Guard Colonel-General M. Katukov and a member of the military council of the Army of the Guard Major-General N. Popel refused, replacing it with the Order of Alexander Nevsky.
The Sandomir bridgehead, occupied by the platoon of a brave junior lieutenant Musabayev Shakhuali, was later used as the initial area for the offensive in the course of the Vistula-Oder operation.
From the commendation list on Musabayev Shakhuali:
"... during the crossing of the San River on July 22, 1944, Comrade Musabayev, despite the strong enemy fire, was the first of the entire brigade to cross the river, his example was followed by fighters of the 3rd company. A total of 10 people crossed. The enemy, who was entrenched on the outskirts of the village, conducted a hurricane fire and did not give the chance to force the river to the rest. Then Musabayev with a group of fighters came from the flank broke into the enemy trenches, with hand grenades, fire from automatic weapons they destroyed up to 70 soldiers and officers of the enemy and captured 22 prisoners, 4 easel and 5 hand machine guns, the remaining soldiers of the enemy fled. By this time the battalion and other units had crossed the Vistula River… In the battle for the village of Samotno, Comrade Musabayev was the first to break into the location of the enemy's convoy, despite the wound, continued the battle, he one destroyed 15 enemy soldiers, the rest fled leaving the convoy."
Editor's note: There are still many white spots in the history of our country, which are waiting for their coverage. Portal "NDH" considers it its duty to cover forgotten pages of history, thus giving a duty to the memory of the older generation. We express the hope that such publications will find the proper response from our audience.

Rouhani: Enemy was harmed by 'ill-considered' Soleimani assassination
TEHRAN — President Hassan Rouhani says the enemy was harmed by its "ill-considered" move of brutally assassinating Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani last year.
"The enemy was definitely harmed by the ill-considered move of brutally assassinating [Soleimani] and it should rest assured that the people and youth of Iran and the region will continue to move on the path of resistance and independence of the region, even more resilient and hopeful," Rouhani said on Thursday.
He made the remarks while addressing a ceremony held to inaugurate a number of national projects.
"All nations have realized that as long as the Americans are in this region, the region will never see a favorable and desirable [day], and the regional nations, God willing, will cut off the foot of these criminals and aggressors," the president remarked.
January 3 will mark the first anniversary of the U.S. assassination of General Soleimani, the commander of Iran's IRGC Quds Force. He was admired as West Asia's most influential counter-terrorism commander.
He was martyred in a U.S. drone strike, directly ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump, in Baghdad during an official visit. His Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iraq's Hashd al-Sha'abi anti-terror force, was also killed along with their other companions when their convoy was hit.
"Trump committed many crimes and killed many people, but we will never forget these two cases," Rouhani said, pointing to the assassination of General Soleimani and al-Muhandis.
The Americans should know that we will always lament their loss and the Iranian nation, along with other nations in the region, will one day avenge their assassination, he added.
A few days after the assassination and as the IRGC unleashed a barrage of missiles on January 8 at the United States' Ain al-Assad air base in the western Iraqi province of Anbar, causing massive damage to the base.
According to top Iranian officials, the ultimate revenge for Soleimani's assassination would be to force the American troops out of the region.
Rouhani also pointed out that he personally knew General Soleimani for 40 years.
"General Soleimani did not hesitate to carry out what he perceived as his national, religious and revolutionary duty, and this is very important," Roouhani recalled.

Who doesn't love a multi-wear bag? CHANEL has nailed it with its brand-new 31 bag. Making its debut at the Fall/Winter 2018/2019 ready-to-wear collection runway show, the multi-style bag takes on different shapes and forms so easily, it's like having three bags in one.
Exercising his slightly playful side, fashion genius Karl Lagerfeld aptly named the bag not only for the brand's famed Paris address on Rue Cambon, but also for the famous French expression, "Se metro sur son 31," which means, "Dressed to the nines," in English.
Touting contrasting colors and an identifiable CC tourniquet clasp, the CHANEL 31 has three ways of being worn. The first is as a tote with its built-in handles, which may be held in the wearer's hands. The wearer can also fold it over to use it as an oversized clutch. The bag also comes with a two-tone colored, leather, double-strap, so it may be carried over the shoulder. Always chic, it is perfect for several occasions: on-the-go, a casual night out, practical purposes or as a statement maker. It also comes in various sizes, from extra small to extra large.
Color options in two-tone lambskin include beige and black—the most classic CHANEL look—, pink and red; red and orange; royal blue and hot pink; green and pink beige; pink and pink beige and red and pink beige. It is also available in a shiny, all-black, crushed and quilted calfskin, as well as tweed-and-fabric with autumn leaves print.
For more information, please visit the brand's website or find it in boutiques in September of this year.

Re: make a donation
Quentin Christensen
Thanks for raising this and the interesting conversation around it. Firstly, I would like to echo Joseph's point and share that we do definitely value each and every contributor, no matter what form that contribution may take: Code contributions, donations, reporting or investigating issues, telling others about NVDA, teaching others to use NVDA, liking or sharing our tweets and facebook posts etc etc.
When that contributors list was originally setup (it is available via the help menu in NVDA for anyone not sure where it is) - the intention was similar to the trend in other open source projects at the time - to thank those who helped the project, primarily through code contributions.
We have recently offered the opportunity for acknowledgement of donations via the various tiers in our GitHub Sponsorship. While we hadn't anticipated people looking for donors in the contributors list, I can absolutely see where people could think of that.
This has also provoked discussion among the NV Access team around how to acknowledge contributors of all types, and how we might update the format or content of that document in future. There will be various considerations in this, including the amount of work keeping it up to date, as well as ensuring that we don't publicly name people who wish to remain private,
So, no timeline for this, but watch this space. Do please feel free to reply or let us know if you have ideas around how you'd like to see this proceed. In the meantime, if anyone donates and would like some recognition, do let me know!
Quentin.

Given that more and more folks outside of NV Access are contributing code (and localization data) to NVDA, I can see the need to update contributors list. It runs into a maintenance problem for source code maintainers: locating authorship information for files and packages, made more complicated as some files in the NVDA source code repository have no copyright header whatsoever. At least we have sponsors list on GitHub so NV Access can acknowledge them.
Money is not the only way to help NV Access and NVDA. Simply promoting NVDA and the principles of this movement (equal access to technology) is valuable too. And those who do just that are far more numerous to list. What's more, the fact that folks are using NVDA in unexpected places, coupled with its reputation as trying to follow accessibility standards contributes significantly to the promotion, reputation, and growth of NVDA and the movement it represents.
Let me repeat what I declared in 2016 as part of NVDACon then: NVDA is more than a screen reader - it is a movement. Money can surely help, and it is okay to tell folks publicly about it. But the "real stars" of this movement, people who sustains the movement toward equal access to technology, are those who open up opportunities for those who could not (surprisingly, it includes all users), and it will take far more than the length of the contributors document to list and some may wish to remain anonymous (willingly or due to circumstances beyond our control).

The Villa Guama hotel complex is a truly unique place to stay in Cuba. Situated on a set of six islands in the Laguna del Tesoro, or Treasure Lake, guests arrive by speedboat, creating a sense of adventure. Staying in this set of wooden cabins enable guests to truly get back to nature. Here, visitors can enjoy the stunning surroundings, see and listen to native bird life, feed crocodiles and relax amid the native flora and fauna. Located within the Matanzas province of Cuba, the Zapata National Park is simply stunning. Similar to the Everglades of Florida, there are channels, lakes, swamps and forests that are absolutely teeming with wildlife. Many of the species here are endemic to Cuba, including the Zapata wren, Zapata sparrow and Zapata rail. There are over 170 species of bird here, and sitting out at sunrise is an unforgettable experience of sound and sight. Some of the 31 species of reptile can be found at the nearby Criadero Crocodile Farm, halfway between Playa Larga and Australia. Here, visitors can get up close and personal with this ancient creatures; a fantastic day out, especially for children. Fidel Castro himself enjoyed spending time here and commissioned the Taino native village which features unique sculptures that depict life in Cuba; another great excursion for the family. The hotel complex consists of a number of buildings spread over small islands, with connecting charming wooden walkways. There are teepee-like structures, as well as wooden cabins that sit on stilts within the water. These cabins have balconies around the edges, enabling guests to sit atop the water, taking in the sights and sounds of nature. The huts have air conditioning, private bathrooms and satellite TV. There is also a restaurant serving fresh crab, lobster and even crocodile, a bar serving fresh fruit juices and sundowners, and a chlorinated lake water swimming pool. There are rowing boats available for guests to rent also, to take out on the channels of canals. There is entertainment on hand during the days and evenings, but many guests choose to simply enjoy the peace, quiet and surrounding nature during their stay.

BREAKING: Indian Military to Reconsider Joint Creation, Purchase of SU-57 Jets With Russia
Fact-Checking the Report Used by UK to Press Allies to Expel Russian Diplomats
© REUTERS / Peter Nicholls
Expulsion of Russian Diplomats Over Skripal Case (109)
Russia's Kommersant newspaper has gotten its hands on 'Salisbury Incident', a document used by the British government to convince allies to expel more than a hundred Russian diplomats over the Skripal poisoning case. The five-slide PowerPoint presentation summarizes the UK's version of events. But what proof does it offer? Let's look at the facts.
The Salisbury Incident PowerPoint presentation was reportedly sent out to 80 top-level foreign embassy officials in Moscow, including US Ambassador Jon Huntsman, who told Kommersant that he found Britain's evidence "very convincing." Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the slideshow a "massive manipulation of world public opinion" on the basis of "6 pictures." Looking at the document, it's not hard to see why the Russian diplomat reached this conclusion.
Faulty Timelines
The slideshow, which London has since confirmed is authentic, starts with a timeline, from Sergei and Yulia Skripal's poisoning in Salisbury on March 4, to Prime Minister May's declaration on March 12 that the substance used was the 'Russian' Novichok nerve agent and demand that Moscow provide an explanation.
HM Government
Slide 1 of the Salisbury Incident presentation
But a British High Court investigation into the incident was not so categorical, concluding Thursday that new blood samples needed to be taken from the Skripals to be sent for analysis by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). Court evidence from the Porton Down chemical weapons facility, cited by May in her attack on Russia, showed that scientists were not absolutely certain that the chemical the Skripals were exposed to was indeed Novichok. Nor could they rule out that the ex-spy and his daughter were poisoned by a "closely related agent."
London Tried to Exert Pressure On Vienna in Skripal Case - Austrian Minister
Court evidence aside, the PowerPoint presentation itself points out that Prime Minister May wrote to the OPCW asking for assistance on March 14, two days AFTER accusing Russia. The same day, London announced its 'response' to the poisoning, including the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats, a break in high-level diplomatic contacts, and a ministerial and royal family boycott of the upcoming World Cup.
Finally, the slideshow confirms that the OPCW investigative team arrived in the UK a full week after May gave Moscow its 24-hour 'ultimatum' to Russia. On Tuesday, the organization confirmed that it has finished collecting samples from the scene of the crime, but stressed that its analysis would only be completed in two to three weeks' time.
Contentious Claims
Slide 2 of the presentation, titled 'A New Phase of Russia Aggression', repeats London's claim (debunked above) about Novichok being "positively identified by experts" at Porton Down. It goes on to say that Novichok is "developed only by Russia," again, not true. Not only has the New York Times reported that the US has had access to the chemical since the late 1990s; on Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry said it had evidence to show that A-234, the agent believed to have been used to posion Skripal, has also been created by the US. Russia itself stopped all research and development on the weapon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and destroyed its stockpiles of the deadly agent.
Slide 2 of the Salisbury Incident presentation, titled 'A New Phase of Russia Aggression'
Ignoring these facts, the document goes on about the Skripal case being the "first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since the Second World War," and concludes that Russia is "without doubt…responsible" for the crime. "There is no plausible alternative explanation," it insists.
In other words, instead of offering evidence, waiting for the conclusion of an in-depth investigation, or taking up Russia's proposal to conduct a full-scale joint investigation into the crime, London simply blames Russia. To Moscow's consternation, the British government has even rejected Russia's requests to provide it with investigative materials into the Skripal case, even though the attack also targeted Yulia Skripal, a Russian citizen.
Slide 3 summarizes the consequences of the poisoning attack, and offers a graphic showing what nerve agents do to the body; again, no evidence to suggest Russian involvement is offered.
Blame It on the Bogeyman
Slide 4 of the government slideshow is the most audacious, adding eleven other egregious claims about "malign Russian activity" across the globe, without any evidence to back them up. Debunking these claims isn't hard:
Slide 4 of the Salisbury Incident presentation, accusing Russia of a slew of crimes going back over a decade.
· The claim that Russia was behind the 2006 assassination of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko has been contested not only by the Russian government, but by Litvinenko's own father, who believes his son was killed by Alex Goldfarb, chairman of Boris Berezovsky's Civil Liberties Fund.
· The claim about a Russian "invasion of Georgia" in 2008 is equally absurd. Not only did Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili start the conflict by using artillery against his own people, but the Russian response was limited to protecting the Abkhazian and Ossetian minorities and recognizing these regions' independence, and didn't include marching to Georgia and toppling the Saakashvili government (which collapsed on its own in 2013, after which Saakashvili fled the country over embezzlement charges).

Russian Embassy in London Dismantles Boris Johnson Over Finger-Wagging on Crimea
· The assertion that Russia 'occupied' Crimea and 'destabilized' Ukraine in February 2014 is not only factually wrong (Crimea broke off from Ukraine in March 2014), but ignores that Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to join Russia after the Maidan coup in Kiev in a referendum organized by Crimean authorities. As for the 'destabilization of Ukraine' claim, it would probably be more appropriate to consider Kiev's actions in the aftermath of the coup, including its decision to send troops into the Donbass to attack independence supporters, and its continuing rejection of constitutionally-guaranteed autonomy for its eastern regions. As for Russia, it is a guarantor, not a participant, in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
· The claim that Russia was responsible for the July 2014 downing of Flight MH-17 ignores Russian investigators' conclusion that the Boeing was shot down from territory controlled by the Ukrainian military.
· As for the slideshow's claim about Russian meddling in the US presidential election in 2016, it would be interesting to hear President Trump's take on the allegation, which implies that he owes his victory to Russian interference. Furthermore, a recently concluded comprehensive report by Congressional investigators found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

From the US to Luxembourg: Who Declared Russian Diplomats Personae Non Gratae
· For the remainder of the claims, from Russian DDoS and hacking attacks, to its alleged support for a coup attempt in Montenegro in 2016, it is sufficient to point out that they all follow a consistent pattern: Step 1) accusations are made, with no evidence provided, followed by a political, media and diplomatic scandal. Step 2) the scandal blows over, the public forgets, and those making the accusations are never reprimanded.
Fake Claims, Real Consequences
As this article has pointed out, the Salisbury Incident document is not only light on facts, but contains absolutely no hard evidence about any Russian complicity in the crime against the Skripals. Instead, it's limited to guesswork and easily disprovable stereotypes. Unfortunately, facts or not, the document has played its part in the decision of nearly 30 countries to expel over 100 Russian diplomats.

Delete Order for Magento 2 allows the admin to delete and auto-update the status of unwanted orders, invoices, shipments, and credit memos with ease.
At some point while managing orders in the backend, online shop owners will want to remove unnecessary orders which have been canceled, closed, or created just for testing purposes. Unfortunately, the default of Magento 2 does not enable the admin to completely remove redundant orders, invoices, shipments, or credit memos. Instead, it only allows cancelling them, which can lead to inconvenience in backend management.
With an aim to simplify the tasks for the admin in the backend, BSSCommerce has developed Delete Order for Magento 2 which allows the admin to get rid of all unwanted orders, invoices, shipments or credit memos. Remarkably, the order status will be automatically updated as its related data is removed. Any deleted form can be easily recreated as well. In general, Delete Order for Magento 2 is a beneficial module for all online shop owners to keep their backend neater and easier to control.
Beside deleting unwanted orders, Delete Order for Magento 2 also enables administrators to remove junk invoices. Remarkably, this smart extension not only quickly erases invoices but also automatically updates the status of related data. Specifically, order status will turn back to Pending (if shipments have not been created) or Processing (if shipments have been created). Linked credit memo is also expunged. Invoices can be recreated at anytime. Admin can also erase invoices in two ways: accessing Sale=> Invoices or selecting Invoices tab in Order View page of an individual order, then choose Delete action.
Similar to orders and invoices, admin can totally remove needless shipments and enjoy our extension to complete all remain steps of changing order status. Each time a shipment is removed, its order status is changed to Pending (if invoices have not been created) or Processing (if invoices have been created). Shipments can totally be recreated. Delete shipment action appears in both Sales => Shipments or under Shipments tab in Order View page of any order.
Redundant credit memos can also be deleted easily from the backend by selecting Credit memos in Sales => Credit memos, or under Credit Memos tab in Order View page. Automatically, related order status will be altered to Complete (if invoices and shipments have already been created) or Processing (if only invoices have been created). Similarly, credit memo can also be recreated effortlessly.
Managing the backend with ton of orders, invoices, shipments and credit memos while not all of them are necessary or valid must be a nightmare for many online shop owners. Delete Order for Magento 2 was developed as a key to solve above problem. By allowing admin to exclude a large number of useless orders within few clicks, this extension can help them to reduce a lot of time and efforts in order management in the backend.
Not only enable admin to delete invoices, shipments and credit memos, this module also automatically change the status of according orders depending on its temporary condition. This function effectively assists order management of admin from the backend and avoid any logical mistake might occur if admin updates the status manually.
v1.0.1: Ability to delete invoice, shipment, credit memos; Order Status Update; Allow re-creating invoice, shipment, credit memos after being deleted.

Q: Recover Text within iPhone Notes (seeking advice other than "shaking" the phone) In my iPhone notes, I had created a "note" and had lots of text typed in there. By mistake, I deleted most of the text I had typed inside of the "note". Is there a way I can retrieve that text? I did not delete the whole note, only text inside the note was deleted, so what I want to know is if I can recover that text or not.
I have attempted to use the undo function by shaking the phone. Unfortunately, this feature will not recover the text. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
