New Zealand mosque attack: Who were the victims?
Here are the stories of the Muslim worshippers confirmed dead in the mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch.
They were teachers, engineers and accountants. Some were born in New Zealand, while others had migrated to the Pacific Island decades ago, fleeing conflict or seeking a better life.
Many died while trying to protect others, according to family members.
Officials in New Zealand have started releasing some of the names of the 50 Muslim worshippers who were shot dead by an attacker on Friday at two mosques in Christchurch, while diplomats from around the world have identified 29 of them.
Some of those named were New Zealand natives, while others hailed from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, India and Egypt.
Here's what we know so far about the victims of the gun assault, which authorities described as a "well-planned terrorist attack".
Mucaad Ibrahim, 3
At three years old, Mucaad Ibrahim was the youngest victim of the mosque shootings.
He was born in New Zealand to Somali parents. The toddler was separated from his father, Adnan Ibrahim. and brother, Abdi, in the chaos that ensued following the attack, reported the Associated Press news agency.
"He was a Muslim-born Kiwi who was full of energy, love and happiness," said his family in a statement. "He is remembered in our community as a young boy who emanated nothing but the representation of God's love and peace."
Mucaad Ibrahim was laid to rest in a mass burial at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Linwood, along with 25 other victims of the attacks. The ceremony took place on Friday, March 22.

PHOTOS: How One Chicago Family Navigated The First Day Of Remote School
By Manuel Martinez, Minju Park

Listen 3:52
One of the strangest school years ever began for 300,000 Chicago Public School students Tuesday morning.
Remote school kicked off in homes across the city.
WBEZ spent the morning with the Sanchez family — they have a preschooler, a kindergartner and a fourth grader — at their home in the West Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side. All three children attend Orozco Community Academy. Their mother Maria was in charge.
Stephanie, the fourth grader, was full of wisdom: "I've been asking my friends if they get scared … and they're like, 'Oh my God, I'm so scared.'"
What does she tell them? "It's okay, don't be nervous because it's just like a regular day of school."
Manuel Martinez / WBEZ
The day for the three Sanchez kids and their mother Maria began around 7:20 a.m. with teeth and hair brushing and plenty of running around before an 8 a.m. school start time.

Breakfast for the Sanchez kids — Stephanie, 9, Jessica, 5, and Raphael, 4 — is Nutella toast and smoothies.
Among the remote school rules posted by Mom and Dad: "Eat unless you want to be starving."
Maria oversees Jessica's "morning meditation" class. The kindergarteners are instructed to mute themselves and turn off their cameras until they're called on by the teacher. "I didn't know what to expect at the beginning," Maria said. "But now I expect myself to be good for my kids and to be as positive as I can."
Raphael logged on for school in his bedroom with mom Maria standing by. Maria said she learned lessons from remote learning last spring that she's trying out now. "I have to be energized and I have to be positive … things that I probably didn't think I could do, things that I thought that the teachers would handle for me. I just have become 'that parent.'"
Stephanie, the fourth grader, said remote school isn't like regular school at all, and she really misses her friends. Still, she said she's looking forward to a good year. "I know this is hard for everyone and nobody really knows because this came out of nowhere," she said. "But I'm excited to learn new things."
(Manuel Martinez/WBEZ)
Maria is concerned her kids could be hurt by not being able to socialize in person with classmates and teachers. The "teachers don't have that connection with their students and I think they're really gonna be missing out." She also worries they could misunderstand concepts and could get antsy and lose focus, especially after sitting in front of a screen for hours.
Despite the challenges, Maria said remote learning allows her to see her kids progress and learn in a way she wasn't able to before. "We should cherish this opportunity," she said. "We're gonna have some struggles, but I think if the kids can be more independent at the end of this, that's a big gain."

The original idea of this game was to develop a cross-platform game (Android and Iphone / Ipad). The idea was to develop a multi-player game about piloting a hot air balloon. As you can see in the first video (link below), I prepared a basic level for single player as a demo, with no much care about graphic design.
With that demo, I had competed at Ultramagic International Innovation Awards, being selected over 200 projects to be finalist. Finally we did not win the prize :(, but this highly encourage us to continue with this project.
Lately a graphic designer have join the group (as you can see from the first video…. I am not so good at it 😛 ). Looking at the new screen shoots you can see that we have improved a lot :). He is working hard to finish everything on time for our first delivery, and helping me with the game-play configuration.
Technically speaking, I am using Cocos2d-x, what allows us to create a cross-platform. It is my first cross-platform game, and so far the experience is being really challenging, but also really rewarding. Using C++ as a language, makes things much easier (at least for me, I am a C++ lover).
Update 15/01/2014: Currently the game is already in alpha testing phase in Google Play. Let's see how it behaves in different devices my little boy :-). So far is working fine in Galaxy S II, III and IV, Nexus S, Nexus 4 and 5, 7 and 10.
Update 04/03/2014: We already have an official release date…… 31/03/2014. I have released today a new version, alpha 0.46 and the game is getting there. Is still missing some artwork, but the functionality is almost there. I am really looking forward to release it soon :).
Update 01/12/2015: Both Android and AppStore releases are published (see links below) and now I am working on few improvements at the moment.

FirePro participated in Europort 2017, the international maritime exhibition held in Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Center in the Netherlands, from 7th to 11th November.
Europort is held every two years in the port city of Rotterdam and it has come to serve as an event where the international maritime community meets to be updated on innovative technologies applicable in shipbuilding. It draws almost 30,000 professionals who visit the 1,100 exhibiting companies. It aids ship owners and operators to network with industry professionals and creates a forum enabling them to conduct business.
FirePro, in co-operation with its Dutch partner FirePro Benelux, were there to exhibit the FirePro technology and the large array of the related fire protection systems. FirePro Business Development Manager, Demetris Constantinou, was also on hand to offer insights on the relevance and applicability of the FirePro technology to maritime safety, both for on land as well as for offshore applications.
FirePro extends its gratitude to the Managing Director of FirePro Benelux, Mr. Robert Reijns, for his collaboration throughout the event, as well as for his overall efforts and commitment to the FirePro brand.

The Edward Gorey exhibition Gorey's Worlds at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is on display February 10 - March 6, 2018. Long after this interesting exhibition closes, the accompanying book Gorey's Worlds (Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, in association with Princeton University Press, 160 pages, 2018) by curator Erin Monroe will be a vital reference for those interested in Mr. Gorey's works.
The lavishly illustrated volume focus on the portion of Edward Gorey's personal art collection which the artist bequeathed to the Wadsworth upon his passing in April 2000. The gift of 73 paintings, prints, and drawings provides unique insight into the art that excited and inspired Mr. Gorey daily. Supplementing the gifted works are works by Mr. Gorey himself. Visual and contextual comparisons are made in the volume's four essays by various contributors, each of which highlights a different aspect of the exhibition.
Gorey's Worlds can be ordered from the Wadsworth HERE.
The Worsted Monster is an enigmatic work, or works, by Edward Gorey. Begun in the 1950's and never published (or completed?), the first incarnation of The Worsted Monster is a self proclaimed Medieval Tale that features a cast of male characters and one large dragon, presumably the monster itself. A completely revised tale which shares the same title appeared in the June 1975 issue of National Lampoon Magazine as a toy theater, complete with sets, Dramatis Personae, and a libretto (see my post from August 136, 2013).
Several pieces of artwork from the 1950's version were displayed at The Edward Gorey House in 2016 as part of their Artifacts from the Archives exhibit. This exhibit reunited interior drawings from this book that remain in the Gorey archives with this dust wrapper design that was borrowed from a private collection. The dust wrapper artwork is now in my collection.
An interesting characteristic of this piece of art is that the title was reworked by Edward Gorey and a changed version was pasted over the original title. When I acquired the piece, the seventy year old glue used on the paste-up had dried out and the title was in danger of becoming detached from the surface of the artwork. As part of my conservation of the piece, I gently removed the paste-up which revealed the original title drawing. After documenting the original version, the revised title has been repositioned using archival materials.
Surprisingly, there are only slight variations between the two titles. The original version uses more color and the hand lettered type on the scroll is less formal. The angle of the scroll has also been altered slightly in the new version. This is a clear example of Edward Gorey's attention to balance and detail in his art. The newer, more monochromatic title gives more emphasis to the colorful gentleman and dragon. The cover of the book, as shown in the cropped photo above, has a pleasing composition. Presumably, had this title been published, Mr. Gorey would have also hand lettered the title for the spine of the book and added that to the center of the drawing. It is also worth noting that this would have been a very large book if published life sized to the artwork since the cover would have been 11 1/2" tall.

I've always loved art, it was my main subject of interest in school which lead me onto studying a degree in Mixed Media Textiles. As I've grown older though I find myself more interested in design, surface pattern and product design rather than what would be classified as traditional art.
I'm a graphic designer using bold, clean shapes and bright colours. I guess my work has a 1930's Art Deco feel about it.
Anywhere with a point of interest! A town square, a monument on a hill, lighthouses, coastlines. Really anywhere I guess you'd visit as a day out.
Is there any object, place or theme that is integral to your work?
My inspiration gained from the old railway posters of the 1930's is integral to my work. The places are then my inspiration and I capture pretty much wherever i'm asked to.
It's grown massively in the past 3 years. I've been running Tabitha Mary for almost 6 years, but it started off with one print: the shipping forecast regions, and slowly grew and grew as I ran it in my spare time around my full time job as a graphic designer. Eventually about 3 years ago I plucked up the courage to leave my full time job and put all my efforts into Tabitha Mary. A decision that was life changing for me, but has put me on this fantastically exciting journey as a self employed designer.
2017 was an exciting year for me, I had lots of new business opportunities arise but I also gave birth to my first child, so 2018 will be focusing on finding a mother / business woman life balance and trying to achieve my work goals around my little one.

Katy Perry in Valentino Couture Spring/Summer 2014: Katy is wearing a made-to-measure gown from Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 collection. This collection--and gown--was JUST shown in Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week FOUR DAYS AGO!!! This, in fact, was the first gown in the collection, which was inspired by famous operas.
I LOVE this gown and I think Katy looks quite "Princess-like" in it. It's very appropriate she would wear a music-inspired gown...for the Grammys.
Do we like Katy in Valentino Haute Couture?

The Afghan Ministry of Commerce and Industries (MoCI) said on Wednesday that Pakistan has been trying to open illegal trade routes with Afghanistan in an attempt to retain trade volume on the local market.
Pakistan has allegedly attempted to open a new crossing along the Durand Line into Koram Agency to pave the way for illegal trade between the two countries.
This comes as Afghanistan launched its first air cargo route with India earlier this week. The cargo service enables Afghanistan to find access to key markets abroad and boost its exports of dry fruits and carpet industries.
Afghanistan began to look for an air corridor as an alternative trade route to the Afghan-Indian trade land route which faces repeated resistance from Pakistan.

After attack and backlash, Kenya faces battle to win over Muslims
Apr 11, 2015 by Editor -
President Uhuru Kenyatta urged Kenyans "to not allow those who hide and abet the terrorists to compromise and even destroy the development that is fast growing in your area."
Days after Islamists killed 148 people at Garissa university, Kenya's president held out an olive branch to Muslims and urged them to join Nairobi in the struggle against militant Islam by informing on sympathizers.
But as Uhuru Kenyatta launches a battle for Muslim hearts and minds, his security forces must first reckon with the deep mistrust among ethnic-Somali Muslims in the country's northeast regions bordering Somalia.
Kenyatta also faces an uphill task in reforming the violent ways of troops on the ground. A day before he spoke, a soldier in Garissa was seen by a Reuters reporter lashing at a crowd of Muslim women with a long stick.
"We live in fear," said Barey Bare, one of a dozen veiled Somali-Kenyan women targeted by the soldier.
"The military are a threat and al Shabaab are a threat. We are in between."
Without the cooperation of local people like Bare, experts say Kenya will struggle to glean vital on-the-ground intelligence to stop crude but highly lethal assaults by Somalia's al Shabaab militants.
Winning favor with Muslim communities near Somalia has been made more urgent by al Shabaab's switch in tactics to target Kenya's frontier regions near the porous 700km border. Al Shabaab has killed more than 400 people in two years, including 67 during an assault on Nairobi's Westgate mall in 2013.
"Kenyans can't afford to build a wall with Somalia so intelligence from local sources is the best approach. But people in villages won't inform if Kenyan soldiers steal or hit women," said one Western diplomat.
Kenyan Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman David Obonyo denied the troops had a track record of brutality against Muslims, who make up about 10 percent of Kenya's 44 million people.
"I don't see why we would harm our own citizens in Kenya. We are there to protect them," he said.
Analysts and diplomats say Kenya's top brass are now aware heavy-handed security tactics can cripple intelligence gathering.
Mass security sweeps also breed radicalization and help al Shabaab portray itself as the protector of Muslims in Kenya, Muslim groups say.
"In the upper echelons, especially in the intelligence department, there are constant warnings to police that these mass arrests are counter productive," said Rashid Abdi, a Horn of Africa security analyst.
Though the group has lost swathes of territory and key sources of income in its native Somalia, it can still strike at soft targets in Kenya by using a handful of fighters with AK-47 rifles and grenades. Local knowledge also helps.
One of the four fighters who stormed the Garissa college was an ethnic-Somali whose father was a Kenyan government official, intensifying fears about home-grown jihadis. Five other Kenyans have been arrested since.
"Radicalization has grown and become a national problem rather than a regional problem," said Ali Roba, the governor of Mandera, a region also targeted by militants.
SCHOOL HOSPITALS
Urging Muslims to do more to root out jihadi sympathizers within their community, Kenyatta said the attacks by the Somali militants threaten economic progress in their heartlands.
"I urge all my brothers and sisters in the affected regions, and across the country, to not allow those who hide and abet the terrorists to compromise and even destroy the development that is fast growing in your area," said Kenyatta, who replaced his intelligence and police chief following attacks.
Joseph Nkaissery, appointed interior minister in December, has impressed diplomats with his desire to use more modern methods to counter radicalization.
But to get Muslims on board, especially the 2.4 million ethnic Somalis living in Kenya, the authorities will have to address their deep suspicion of the security services. Many say they carry extra "shake down" cash for bribes.
"Their interest is just money. You can't go to the government to complain, nothing will happen," said Saddam Hassan, 23, who had to pay a 20,000 shillings ($216) bribe to be freed after four days in custody last April.
Diplomats say coming months could be key to see if the new leadership whole-heartedly embraces a new strategy or reverts to bad old ways.
Kenya's shutdown of Somali money transfer firms, vital to Somali businesses and people who rely on remittances from family members abroad, has raised concern.
So has the closure of two coastal civil society groups that were mediating talks between the government and radicalized Muslim youths who had burnt down churches and attacked Christians in the Indian Ocean port city of Mombasa.
In Nairobi's Eastleigh district, popularly known as Little Mogadishu, a change in policy is welcomed. But jaded by what civil society groups say is years of harassment, most ethnic-Somalis are bracing for another crackdown.
"We are tense because of the expectation of what's to come," said Ibrahim Ali Maalim, a local Imam.
The global squeeze on Somalia just got worse, thanks to Kenya

The next lower population density is Success approximately half the size with population density of 492. Figure 6 provides Corning demographics for the overall median age for all people in the region and Corning depicts it has a Median Age of 38.4 which is less than most other places in the metropolitan area. The city with the highest overall median age of all people in the area is Peach Orchard which shows an age of 55.0 (43.2% larger). The Corning Arkansas population data for median age broken out by gender for both men versus the median age of women is shown in Figure 7. Corning Arkansas depicts a median age of men approximately three-fourths the size as the median age of women.
The next demographic analysis (Figure 8) looks at large generational Corning population groups (and can be useful internet research for employment related research or identifying areas with retirees). Key findings in this chart includes that Corning Arkansas has one of the largest proportions of people less than 20 years of age at 19.2% of the total and is ranked #2. The only larger city being Reyno with 23.4%.
Figure 9 illustrates the overall diversity breakdown for Corning population and ethnicity groups in the area.
