In this powerful film, six ex-Muslim women activists share their moving stories of growing up in Muslim families and Muslim-majority countries and the violence, loss and shunning they faced because of their scepticism and apostasy.
The women talk about everything from tearing their hijab on door handles as a child, wearing a burkini on a beach in Italy, wanting to scream their atheism in Mecca during Hajj, losing custody of a child after a husband's accusations of blasphemy, reporting a violent fundamentalist father, forging a male guardian's signature in order to flee their country and being shunned for defending LGBT rights…
Despite the risks, the women speak of hope, happiness and finding freedom in leaving Islam.
The brave women: Fauzia Ilyas, Fay Rahman, Halima Salat, Mimzy Vidz, Rana Ahmad and Zara Kay reside/have resided in Australia, Britain, Germany and the Netherlands. They are from backgrounds as diverse as Bangladeshi, British, Egyptian/Moroccan, Saudi, Somali/Kenyan, Pakistani and Tanzanian. The

In just a few days, Kentucky residents could need two forms of identification in order to enter federal buildings due to the REAL ID Act of 2005.
Under the Act, tougher identification standards would go into effect for "restricted areas in all federal facilities and for nuclear plants. The law would require residents from several states to show a secondary form of identification to enter these areas.
The law goes into effect on July 21 unless an extension is provided; state officials have applied to the Department for Homeland Security for this extension.
The reason for the commotion? Kentucky licenses have yet to meet the new license security standards because the state doesn't have a central agency that issues licenses. Although the licenses comply with REAL ID Act, the process for issuing them does not. New licenses will now have a gold star in the upper corner.
Residents will still be able to gain access to federal court houses, Social Security buildings and VA hospitals, according to the transportation cabinets interpretation of the Act. However, according to the Department of Homeland Security, residents would need a secondary ID to board a federal regulated commercial aircraft.

They are immersed together with their readers in a religious culture. Strictly speaking, the Bible as we have it did not precede the Church.
To these sayings of Christ were added the divinely inspired teaching of the apostles and prophets. Thus, the term adaptation is used by Gudykunst and Kim to mean conformity to the coercive power pp.
It was not a matter for which great learning was necessary but for which common instincts were sufficient. At a later time they did forget their mother tongue, but in the days of Nehemiah this had not yet come to pass.
In Kim's approach, assimilation is unilinear and the sojourner must conform to the majority group culture in order to be "communicatively competent. One of the modern English translations which, perhaps more than any other, seeks for equivalent effect is J.
Acculturative stress can manifest in many ways, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other forms of mental and physical maladaptation. For example, much of the scholarly literature on this topic uses U.
In such a translation one is not so concerned with matching the receptor-language message with the source-language message, but with the dynamic relationship mentioned in Chapter 7that the relationship between receptor and message should be substantially the same as that which existed between the original receptors and the message.
The Bible itself declares that it is not easy to be understood by all. He gathered up a number of ideas about language that were current among linguists in his time, he applied them to the task of Bible translation, and he presented these ideas in a very engaging and understandable way.
We might then expect a movement in the direction of paraphrase wherever there is a reluctance to acknowledge the explanatory role of pastors, teachers, and interpretive tradition in general. The especial frequency of such expressions in the Pastoral Epistles illustrates the more stereotyped form which this teaching assumed when death and imprisonment were removing the apostles from personal contact with their churches.
Pidgin is a mixed language that has developed to help communication between members of different cultures in contact, usually occurring in situations of trade or colonialism. There is a strange and awkward element in the language which not only affects the meanings of words, not only disturbs the grammar and syntax, but lurks everywhere in a maze of literary allusions which no ordinary Greek man or woman could conceivably have understood or even detected.
Historical approaches[ edit ] Although the word "acculturation" was coined by J. They read from the book, from the law of God, clearly 1 and they gave the sense, 2 so that the people understood the reading.
And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. In order to be allusive, words must somehow stand out and point to a special context elsewhere.
The same is true of the chief translator of the Contemporary English Version. En sociologie, l'acculturation, ou transport d'idées, désigne les phénomènes qui résultent du contact continu et direct des groupes d'individus ayant différentes cultures, ainsi que les changements dans les cultures originales des deux groupes ou de l'un d'entre eux [1].Les processus en jeu dans ces rencontres sont principalement: le décalage.
Aug 05, · This is just one example of 'acculturation.' Second-language learning is a good example of acculturation on an individual level. The cultural diffusion of foods, music, religion, etc., between neighboring nations or between majority and minority groups is Status: Resolved.
Take a look at this test prep course if you need to study for the NCE exam. Made up of fun video lessons and mini quizzes, this course is aligned.
Acculturation is a process through which a person or group from one culture comes to adopt the practices and values of another culture, while still retaining their own distinct culture.
This process is most commonly discussed regarding a minority culture adopting elements of majority culture, as is. This article presents an expanded model of acculturation among international migrants and their immediate descendants.
Acculturation is proposed as a multidimensional process consisting of the confluence among heritage-cultural and receiving-cultural practices, values, and identifications.

Q: Restart application after 12 hours objective c I have an application that has a loginVC, when the user is logged in I want that after 12 hours the application invokes the method -(void)logout, using these lines [self performSelector:@selector(logout) withObject:nil afterDelay:43200];, in the viewDidLoad method of the UserLoggedVC.
if the application is open or in background with a short time parameter in afterDelay, like 600 secs (10 minutes), the method is called fine, but when is a long time like 43200 secs(12 hours), and the application is in background the method is never called.
I hope you can help me

A: performSelector: withObject: afterDelay: is essentially just a timer and timers are not allowed in the background.
Instead you should just record the timestamp when the user first logs in to the application and save it. Then each time the application comes to the foreground just check to see if its been 12 hours from the current time to the log in time.

A: You cannot expect your application to be alive in memory for 12 hours. When the application goes in background the OS will eventually kill it, so your method will never execute.
The approach here can be either to store the date of the last user activity and check it against the current one when the user opens the app, or to perform the check server side and force the logout.

A: The answers from Gabriele and tdevoy clearly states why it is not possible. So I'm not repeating the same thing, instead if you cant find out how to do it, this is how you can try:
In your viewDidLoad, store the logged in time in NSUserDefaults like this
NSDate *currentDate= [NSDate date];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:currentDate forKey:@"loggedInTime"];

Now in your applicationDidBecomeActive delegate method,
NSDate *loggedInTime = (NSDate *)[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"loggedInTime"];
NSTimeInterval timeSpentInApp = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSinceDate:loggedInTime];
//if this timeSpentInApp is greater than 43200, then you can call logout.
//(Make sure after relogin, the loggedInTime value was updated again.)

But, if the user continuously uses the app for 12 hrs, then you should consider using your code snippet too, as this will call only when the app comes from background.

Swift Boater Behind New CFJ Ad
Interestingly, there had been next to no media coverage of the new Committee for Justice ad likening Sonia Sotomayor to William Ayres and claiming that she supports terrorists until Charlie Savage finally wrote about it on the NYT's "The Caucus".
Savage got CFJ's executive director Curt Levey on the record defending the ad and revealing that it "was written by Chris LaCivita, who also helped create the Swift Boat Vets for Truth ads against Senator John F. Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee."
What am I not surprised? As Savage noted:
The Swift Boat ads were riddled with unsubstantiated charges and led to a new political term for smearing a political opponent with lies: "swift-boating."
But Levey makes no apologies for the ad or for trying to swift-boat Sotomayor while Savage does a good job of explaining the incident on which CFJ hangs its allegation that she "supports" terrorists:
Mr. Levey acknowledged that the ad presented a "caricature," but it defended it as "factually true." He said it was a reference to a 1990 controversy in New York City surrounding a visit by Nelson Mandela, shortly after the South African leader's release from nearly three decades in prison under white Apartheid rule.
As he prepared for Mr. Mandela's visit, then-New York City Mayor David Dinkins made headlines when he spoke critically of Puerto Rican separatists who, in 1954, had stormed the United States House of Representatives and opened fire, wounding five Congressmen.
Three of those men, who were later pardoned by President Jimmy Carter, were scheduled to appear alongside Mr. Mandela at a rally in Harlem. But Mr. Dinkins called them "assassins" and said they should not be conflated with Mr. Mandela's cause.
In response, the then-president of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, Ruben Franco, said Mr. Dinkins' comments lacked sensitivity and a sense of history, according to a June 16, 1990, New York Times article about the incident.
"He doesn't recognize that to many people in Puerto Rico, these are fighters for freedom and justice, for liberation, just as is Nelson Mandela, who himself advocated bearing arms," Mr. Franco was quoted as saying.
Mr. Levey argued that it was accurate to accuse Judge Sonia Sotomayor of "supporting violent terrorists" because she was a member of the board of the legal defense fund at the time that Mr. Franco made that remark.
Mr. Levey said he had toned down the Sotomayor ad from the original proposed version, which said "defended' instead of "supported," because he thought that the word "defended" would misleadingly suggested that the fund represented the terrorists in court.
Mr. Levey said the goal of the ad was to be provocative in order to draw more attention to Judge Sotomayor's ties to the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, where she was a board member from 1980 until she resigned to become a federal judge in 1992. He said the group had taken "radical" positions on issues like affirmative action, the death penalty, and abortion.
You know, it takes an amazing level of cluelessness to try and take credit for having "toned down" an ad which accuses a sitting federal judge and Supreme Court nominee of supporting terrorists.

I had a couple of bilingual friends both of whom lived in England but had lived in another country for the first couple of years of their lives. They both came here not speaking any English and picked it up very quickly and their parents always spoke to them in their native language (Russian and Danish) whilst pretty much everyone else would speak to them in English.
The other thing I hear about occasionally is where one parent speaks a different language (e.g. a French mother and English father) in which case each parent speaks their native language to the child and they pick one language (usually the one of the country they're living in) to be the language they use when they talk to each other. I hear this also works pretty well.
What I think would not work well would be having a parent speak more than one language to the child.

In linguistics I learned that babies pick up multiple languages easily, whether spoken by a single person or multiple, as long as you don't make it needlessly hard for them (e.g. by intermixing the languages on purpose) and there's a natural reason to expose them to multiple languages. All you need is to expose them to each language on a frequent base until they're about six years old. They might mix up the languages occasionally, but that's nothing to worry about. Just don't try to instruct them, because the effort is wasted. Babies know much better how to study language and they'll simply ignore you.
As for your intention: speaking multiple languages doesn't necessarily make your child smarter. Being a caring parent is good, though.
If you're very interested in the way babies learn languages, I recommend Language Development by Erika Hoff (there's also a fourth edition but this link shows a nice cover image).

Speaking from first hand experience, it's really not that hard at all. Just speak to your baby in both. If you're a already a natural bilingual then this shouldn't be a problem. I was raised in Canada but my parents spoke to me in both English and their mother tongue, Filipino. Most of my Chinese or Korean friends that live here are in the same situation. Most people around here actually speak multiple languages from birth - English monolinguals are a definite minority
Just don't, like others have said, forcibly mix the languages, or try to teach your baby any 'grammar'. We aren't taught English grammar when we are raised, so no reason for babies to be taught grammar either.

We are raising our children as bilinguals.
I'm danish (and bilingual (english/danish) myself) and my wife is english and speaks very good danish.
From all the literature that we've read on the subject, the one key thing mentioned everywhere is consistency. Whether you choose to speak each your own language exclusively, both languages alternately or whatever - the most important thing is doing it consistently. We have decided that I always speak danish to the children, my wife english to the children and my wife and I speak english with each other. Only exceptions are goodnight stories and when grandparents on either side are involved as my in-laws don't speak any danish and to accomodate that, I elect to speak english only when they are around.
If you mix and match and even construct mixed language sentences, the child may take longer to learn the syntax of both languages and in some cases inherit some strange habits which can make it difficult for them to be understood in whatever institution they attend on a daily basis.
Apparently, some research suggests that children can handle learning up to 6 languages simultaneously and at least 4 of them natively. One will always be dominant and which language that is, varies throughout life - speaking from experience there seems to be no obvious trigger in changing the dominant language.

haumovie seems to have the right idea, each parent speaks one language exclusively, is a good one. I was raised bilingual, speaking only spanish to my mother, and only english to my father. They would not let us mix up the language we spoke to them in, and even now, at 19, my brother and I still speak to them in their designated language, no matter where we're living. (We do sometimes mix up the languages with each other, although we kinda settled on english). At least in our case, it's because each parent much prefers their own native language
As for making the child smarter, I don't think it made me smarter, but I think it did give me a huge advantage. Just in reading comprehension, there are a lot of words that I might not understand in english, but are close enough to a root word in spanish that I can deduce a meaning. Also, I later had to take french in high school, and it was easy to pick up by combining my knowledge from two languages. It especially learning to think in slightly different grammar since I was already used to two different structures to express ideas.
On another kind of related topic, just exposing the child to the language, even if they never really learn it, or seem to lose it from lack of practice, just by being exposed to it young they learn to hear the sounds of that language, and can pick it up extremely quickly at a later age. Being able to identify and separate the different sounds as you hear them helps speak it later, so it doesn't all sound like gibberish.

This is something I'd like to do too, should I ever procreate. It just seems such a waste to take the time to learn the languages myself and then not to pass the knowledge on, especially when they're young and soaking up language. I was thinking of having separate days or something? And backing up the conversation with bedtime stories in that language, and maybe even language DVDs or something?
Postby Jplus » Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:03 pm UTC
Bedtime stories and normal conversation will be your future kid's main source of information. I don't know what you mean by a "language DVD", but I doubt any toddler will be much interested in studying conjugation rules or literature...

Yeh, it being their main source of information is a little scary - it would mean that I'd either have to be super-duper fluent, or perhaps to accept that just incorporating words where I could is better than nothing? And yeh, what I meant by language DVD's (that was a very lazy way to say it) was just cartoons and the like that are in the foreign language. Kids seems to pick up a scary amount from cartoons. If only I could make them like David Attenborough instead of Thomas the Tank Engine...
Postby Jplus » Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:50 pm UTC
Interesting fact: children are surprisingly good at learning a language that is spoken less-than-fluently by their parents. That's not to say you should train your children in any language you know two words in, but you don't need to worry if you're just a little bit less fluent than a native.
Of course, if you're the only source of information your kids can rely on (until late age) then it might become a source of concern. But in that case I'd say you're probably stretching it a bit anyway; after all, what natural reason is there to speak such a language if it's not what you natively speak?
Postby Plasmic-Turtle » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:44 am UTC
I don't see the problem with being the main (even only?) source of information for the child, so long as (a) I were teaching them my native language (english) as well, and (b) I never put the importance of speaking in the second language above the importance of providing thorough and accurate information - e.g. if there's something I unable to explain to them in the second language, I would switch back to English. And obviously there'd be the understanding that kids often don't tend to like things like second languages, musical instruments, and sports being shoved on them in a mandatory sort of manner and that if kid ever says "I don't want to talk in the second language anymore, this shit's dumb" then that should, IMO, be respected.

Purpose – This empirical paper examines the use of income generation projects as a pedagogic method to assess students' learning about social enterprises. We are interested in how and why this innovative approach might improve students' understanding of the different aspects and attributes of social entrepreneurship.
Design/methodology/approach – our study used thematic analysis of qualitative data comprising the reflective logs of 87 students on an undergraduate entrepreneurship module in a university business programme. The major attributes of social entrepreneurship were identified from a review of literature, and we used the logs to judge whether students had learnt about these attributes.
Findings – results show that students developed an understanding concerning social enterprises' diverse stakeholder environment, market needs, social enterprises' ideological foundations, resource mobilisation processes and performance measurement – both social and financial. In addition, they developed skills in reflection and self-awareness, communication, empathy and the generation of new ideas.
Research limitations/implications – our study is limited in that it focused on only one cohort of students, undergraduates. We cannot claim that our findings are generalisable to other students or contexts.
Social Implications - This study sheds new light on how experiential learning helps to raise students' awareness of social enterprises.

Gorean Philosophy in a Nutshell
What is Gor?
Well, the short version is that Gor is a fictional planet located directly opposite Earth on the other side of the sun in a series of Sci-Fi novels by Professor John Lange, writing as John Norman.
But if you're here reading, you're probably looking for the longer version. The best way to find that, of course, would be to go and read the books, but I will provide a summary here for those who are interested, but perhaps not quite ready to take the plunge and read all the books.
The storylines in the books are actually a platform for the presentation of a set of philosophical ideals. Professor Lange, after having his ideas highly criticized by his colleagues (remember, this was the mid to late 60s, when the feminist movement was just getting into full swing), went the route of others, such as Heinlein, Hubbard and Rynd, and turned to fiction to propagate his ideas.
The common themes that stand out in the books are ideas of casting off false societal teachings, living in cooperation and harmony with one's environment, being true to one's nature, understanding and embracing the difference between the sexes and people in general, personal accountability, honor, civic duty and respect.
Casting off False "Equality"
Much of the philosophy revolves around the idea that everyone is not equal to one another, but that we are all different, most especially males and females. Within the books, these differences are not suppressed, concealed or reviled, but rather, celebrated.
It is understood and accepted that a warrior is not necessarily a poet, a scribe is not a metalworker, and woman is not a man, nor should they be expected to be. Each individual has their own place within society based on their innate abilities, talents, personality and nature.
It is recognized that men, on the whole, tend to be the naturally more dominant, logical, larger and physically stronger of the human species and that women generally tend to be more submissive, nurturing, emotional, smaller and physically weaker. With that in mind, gender roles within the Gorean construct are that of men as the leaders and women as the followers, for the most part.
Contrary to many people's beliefs, the philosophies DO support the idea that, while these are the norms, they are not absolutes any more than the misguided idea that all are the same.
For instance, some women are natural leaders, physically strong (even stronger than most men), have a good grasp of logic, or other traits most often considered male traits, just as there are men who are truly submissive in nature and just don't have it in them to lead and men who would much rather be caregivers than fighters or hunters. They are the exceptions that prove the rule. Regardless of whether one falls within the expected norms or not, Gorean philosophy indicates that one should embrace what and who one truly is.
That DOESN'T mean that one should use the excuse of "this is just my nature", to avoid serious introspection and self improvement!
The majority of those who seem to fall outside the natural norms actually do not, but rather, have subscribed too long to societal teachings that encourage the stifling of natural behaviors and thinking in favor of simulated equality and have developed habits and views that suppress and circumvent our true natures. Gorean thought requires one to constantly evaluate oneself and strive for personal betterment and truth.
This essay is still unfinished, but has been placed on the site incomplete due to the number of requests to view what I have so far. It really will be updated eventually. (life can get in the way sometimes!)

Britain's making money again
David Stevenson Posted on 22nd February 2019
British politics is in a state of flux right now.
No content with making a real mess of Brexit, our parliamentarians are furiously at loggerheads with each other over a whole range of issues.
Huge in-fighting within both main political parties has spawned the rise of the Independent Group. MPs who've joined this new outfit say that they stand for 'the centre ground of politics'. And they forecast that more Conservative and Labour members will join their new party.
So, with the Brexit 29 March deadline looming, is there even more chaos ahead?
In fact, though it's rather lost out in the headline stakes to all the political brouhaha, there is some better news out there. And it could provide us with a good money-making opportunity…
Brexit has clearly proved to be the tipping point for this change in UK politics.
With B-Day nearing, here at Agora we're planning to say plenty about Britain's pending divorce from the EU and how it will affect you. So I'm not going to go down that road today. But watch this space.
As for the prospects for the Independent Group, recent history hasn't always been kind to centrist breakaway elements.
Remember the Gang of Four?
(No, I'm neither talking about the UK post-punk band nor the Chinese Communist Party officials who came to prominence during the Cultural Revolution).
Labour moderates Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Bill Rodgers and Shirley Williams left the party after the January 1981 Wembley conference which committed Labour to unilateral nuclear disarmament and withdrawal from the European Economic Community, the forerunner of the EU.
Believing Labour had become too left wing as a result of being infiltrated by the Trotskyist Militant tendency, they set up the SDP (Social Democratic Party) which ultimately teamed up with the Liberals to form the Social and Liberal Democrats.
30 years later: of the SDP there is now no sign. And the Liberal Democrats have little influence on the British political scene.
So the Independent Group "needs to incite a much wider rebellion to achieve its goal of triggering a rethink over the country's exit from the European Union and smashing a two-party structure that they say is no longer fit for purpose", says William James at Reuters.
"They need numbers. You're going to need some cabinet resignations… that would really set things moving", says Tony Wright, Emeritus Professor of Government and Public Policy at UCL: "Where will it lead? It could lead to nowhere, it could become a footnote in the history of Brexit, or it could become the beginnings of the break-up of the party system which has been going for the last 100 years."
In other words, the real story to emerge from the Brexit mess could be starting here.
Moving forwards from memory lane as well as those current parliamentary pitched battles and back to my main theme for today…
More government money
Let's look at our government's coffers. They're actually looking in very good shape.
In fact, I'll repeat that, because at first glance it probably looks like I've got it wrong.
It's become our expectation, not just here in Britain but around the world, that governments are constantly borrowing far too much money. And that they're always struggling to keep their deficits down, let alone to balance the books.
Yet last month Britain revealed its biggest budget surplus on record.
In January the country managed to bring in almost £15bn more than it spent. This was the highest surplus since monthly records began in 1993. Britain is making money again!
Granted, this state revenue bonanza wasn't due to a rip-roaring economy.
Last year saw the weakest economic growth since 2012.
Compared with the previous January, the huge surplus was mainly driven by a £1.9bn surge in lagging self-assessment tax receipts and a £1.2bn rise in capital gains tax takings. So it doesn't fully reflect the condition of the economy at the moment.
It seems that more people than usual have paid their tax bills before the 31 January, meaning that February's receipts are likely to look worse by comparison. Further, government precautions for a possible 'no-deal' Brexit could push February and March spending higher than last year.
Yet PAYE and VAT receipts climbed by 7.5% and 5.6% respectively, above the 5.3% and 5.2% average growth rates recorded in the first nine months of the fiscal year, indicating a stronger economy than official data imply.
Indeed, for the current financial year the national budget deficit looks set to drop to its lowest since 2001/02 at just above 1% of GDP. That's down from 10% just after the great financial crisis a decade ago.
To repeat, that's just a 1% annual overspend.
OK, if economic growth slows further, that borrowing percentage is likely to rise.
But it'd be from an extremely low level. In other words, Chancellor Hammond has scope to spend some serious money and still keep 2020/21 cyclically-adjusted borrowing (debt relative to economic growth) below his stated target of 2% of GDP.
We'll know more in next month's Spring Statement – the main Budget has now moved to October – assuming you can drag yourself away from the Cheltenham Festival to watch it!
What's the bottom line? The country now has the cash to absorb post-Brexit shocks. And any increases in government spending to offset these are likely to boost UK domestic businesses.
As we can't be sure exactly how Brexit will play out, we don't know yet which companies will benefit. But this could be a good money-making opportunity. When we've worked out where the money will be made, you'll be the first to know…

Skyline calls on the international community to take action towards the growing violations against political detainees in Emirati prisons
STOCKHOLM - Skyline International expresses its deep concern at the continued deteriorating conditions of detainees inside Emirati prisons. It further blamed the international community for ignoring dozens of calls made by human rights organizations about the atrocity of violations committed by prison staff inside those prisons.
In a statement issued today, Tuesday, Skyline states that, new details revealed by human rights activist Ahmed Mansour, 51, through messages leaked from inside his prison, in which the latter described the harsh conditions of his detention that he has been experiencing since his arrest in 2017 until now.
The details - published by several media outlets - included that the Emirati authorities transferred "Mansour" to the notorious "Al-Sadr" prison near Abu Dhabi, and denied him access to basic medical care and confiscated his reading glasses.
For its part, Skyline says that this leak is not the first for "Mansour". The Brazilian prisoner who was a detainee in the UAE prisons, Calio Castro, had previvously spoken about the details of letters written by the human rights activist, Ahmed Mansour, 51, from his prison, in which the latter described the harsh conditions of his detention that he has been suffering from since his arrest in 2017 until now.
Castro revealed that Mansour asked him to convey a handwritten letter abroad, in which he mentions the details of his arrest and the conditions of his imprisonment, and that he agreed to this after thinking because of the grave risk he may expose to if he was revealed before leaving the Emirates. Castro added that he hid the message with his shoes for four days, before arriving in his country, Brazil, after completing his nine-month prison term
Castro confirmed that the Emirati activist "is living in a shocking, sad and painful situation, and that he looks years older than his age." He added, "I was put in cell number four, and Mansour was in cell number one. We were screaming from the ceiling to talk to each other and communication between us was very difficult. I was hitting the door because I wanted to do my phone calls and I wanted to call my family and they wouldn't let me, then it was First contact with Mansour.
"Castro" indicated that he realizes now, about 10 months after his return to his country from Emirati prisons, that informing public opinion of the truth may be more beneficial to save Mansour and other forgotten prisoners in UAE prisons.
For its part, "Skyline" states that the Emirati authorities holds "Ahmed Mansoor" incommunicado for most of his arrest, and that they have deliberately isolated him from other prisoners, and denied him access to a bed and mattress since his imprisonment in March 2017. They also prevent him from reading and any actual contact with the outside world, including regular visits or calls with his wife and four children in clear violation of prisoners' rights guaranteed in multiple international conventions.
The Emirati authorities arrested Ahmed Mansour, 51, on March 15, 2017. On May 2018, the State Security Department of the Abu Dhabi Court of Appeals sentenced "Mansoor" to ten years in prison. On May 2018, the State Security Department of the Abu Dhabi Court of Appeals sentenced "Mansoor" to ten years in prison on charges related entirely to his human rights activities. On December 31, 2018, the Federal Supreme Court upheld the sentence against him and annulled his last chance for early release. The government also refused requests to publish the indictment and court rulings.
Accordingly, the human rights foundation "Skyline" stresses that the UAE's practices against the activist "Mansoor" and other detainees seriously violate the provisions of the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which the UAE ratified in 2012. These provisions oblige the signatories to provide care and a decent life for prisoners inside prisons.
Skyline concludes its statement by calling on the international community and UN agencies, including the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights, the Working Group on the issue of arbitrary detention, and the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, to play their legal and moral role, visit Emirati prisons and form a neutral committee to review the conditions of detainees Inside those prisons, and. communicate immediately with the UAE government and pressure it to release all political detainees.

The Mercury xRM software developer polled 88 businesses from its recruitment partner network to find out what the biggest obstacles were to growing sales. Just under half of those polled (42%) said that a lack of quality candidates was their biggest growing pain with 21% being buried by too much administration. A lack of clients, low placement fees and too much competition were also cited as large obstacles to growing sales with 17%, 16% and 15% of responses respectively.
The answer, according to recruiters, is to pick up the phone. Eleven per cent of recruiters said that simply putting time aside to get on the phone and speak to prospective new clients was the best way of overcoming obstacles to growth. 9% of recruiters said that perseverance would eventually pay off and the best way of overcoming obstacles to sales growth is to keep at it and never give up. Only 2% of recruiters said that improving market knowledge and setting more achievable goals were key to growing sales.
Crimson recently released the next generation of its innovative rapid recruitment solution Mercury xRM to the recruitment market; a tool that promises to source hundreds of high quality candidates to fill any position in less than 30 seconds. And while technological innovations like Mercury xRM can help to fill a void for quality candidates and help recruiters to reduce their administration time, there are other tips that recruiters can follow to streamline their recruitment processes and work smarter.
Mercury xRM is cloud-based online recruitment software designed and developed specially for the recruitment market by Microsoft Gold Partner and IT recruitment consultancy Crimson Limited. Designed by recruitment veterans, powered by Microsoft's CRM platform, and integrated with best-of-breed recruitment applications, recruitment professionals value the intuitive and rich toolset within Mercury xRM that allows them to accelerate through the recruitment lifecycle.

How VR and mixed reality are becoming important in the future of work
In 2020, companies have been forced to try new technologies because of the pandemic. One company sees this tech staying for the long haul.
TechRepublic's Karen Roby spoke with Kyle Jackson, founder of Talespin, a software company that specializes in immersive technology, about how businesses are using new technologies in the pandemic and into the future. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.
SEE: COVID-19 workplace policy (TechRepublic Premium)
Karen Roby: I think this is really interesting, Kyle, that you guys talk to customers every day, and you're hearing the things they're saying, the problems they're having, solutions they're looking for, and you put a lot of that information together to come up with some predictions for 2021. Of course, the first prediction I would like to think that we would all think is that it's going to be a more positive, better year for all of us all around.
Kyle Jackson: I certainly hope so. It seems like businesses are starting to make investments that are being driven by that narrative, at least for their people.
Karen Roby: In talking about the future of work and what things are going to look like for us and how things are changing and so rapidly. Talk about some of these predictions, how you came up with these, and we'll just go from there. Just highlight a couple for us.
Kyle Jackson: Talespin's in a really interesting seat right now. We started the company about five years ago, and the whole genesis was the idea that work was going to drastically change at the hands of technology over the next decade, and there was going to need to be some really re-architected foundations for how we think about that. A lot of those just got accelerated. So, we find ourselves in conversations with all of our customers from the last five years on this very topic. We're one of the companies they may be talking to most openly about this.
The predictions really fall into three big, broad narratives, from my perspective. There's definitely an acceleration of investment in automation and productivity technologies, that kind of goes without saying. But it was really interesting. We started having a number of conversations and have talked to some of the big consulting groups that are saying the same thing.
SEE: 5 Internet of Things (IoT) innovations (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
But the sense is that a lot of companies were hesitant to make investments in these areas because of the implications on their workforce and the potential backlash of people not quite understanding them. Also, the technologies not being mature, and all of a sudden COVID-19 took that away for them. Overnight they said, "Well now we're forced to." So, we're seeing huge acceleration in those investments.
That then comes with the second big, broad area which is rapid re-skilling, businesses just looking at everything about how we delivered service and what our products are and so forth, is changing really fast. So, we need to think about how we prepare people for the new opportunities.
Then really the last one is just a continued fusion between the physical and virtual worlds. We obviously are all at home doing lots of virtual things, but we're not doing a lot of physical things anymore. There are technologies now that are really at the center of fusing those things back together. It's a bit of a different look once we do that. Those are the three big areas, I think, that we're going to see huge investments and drastic changes in the next 18 months.
Karen Roby: Excellent. You mentioned (virtual reality) VR and we talk about the technology that we're really going to see move a little bit more to the front of the line, and some of this tech is really going to change how we work. No doubt we're getting used to things like Zoom, and now we're experiencing Zoom fatigue and these kinds of things every day. What tech do you see really moving forward as an answer to where we are now?
Kyle Jackson: One of the things that was really difficult to replace with Zoom was your corporate universities and a lot of the bigger in-person training types of uses that large companies deal with every day and thousands of people annually. That was a bit of a first mover from our perspective. We've seen people jump full into using VR and mixed reality to replace those in-person labs and in-person training sessions, and I don't think that's going back. I think that's just going to continue to invest that way. There are too many additional benefits to come out of these mediums over the traditional way of doing it.
SEE: Return to work: What the new normal will look like post-pandemic (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
That's a bit like the tip of the iceberg. Once we start to see the ROI from those obvious use cases, it starts to work itself backwards into things like maybe replacing meetings in Zoom and other types of areas of field work, where virtual and mixed reality will change the way we do things there, too.
Karen Roby: When we talk about that type of technology and where Talespin comes in, especially, talk a little bit about when it comes to extended reality and how you guys are weaving different pieces of the puzzle together.
Kyle Jackson: It's those three broad narratives all woven, really interwoven. We're all working apart, and we're all seeing our businesses change drastically, and that's driving these investments in automation and other technologies. Between those three things, you have to start thinking what's the new foundation? What's the thing that all of us can expect from businesses as a way we're going to interact with our customers, with each other and, and deliver these services?
(Cross-reality) XR as a field can actually step behind different types of interactions across that whole what we think of the workforce life cycle. We think of the whole thing from the moment you're introduced to a business to the moment you're managing maybe hundreds or thousands of people. Extended reality pretty much fundamentally changes that at every single stage.
Like I said before, the first place is really people are looking at recruiting and training, where they just don't have access to the centers they used to. Another area where people are seeing really strong return on investment is using remote assistance technology. If you have a field worker that's going out and servicing, say, a telecom need, you can bring in an expert that's sitting in their home office and you can bring them alongside that work in a mixed-reality way.
SEE: Future of farming: AI, IoT, drones, and more (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
You're seeing these use cases, early use cases, really proved themselves out. The ROI metrics are so strong that we're now seeing that COVID-19 pushed it from experimentation phase to production phase. Now it becomes the new standard way of operating. With our own work, we're going from what was two or three, four use cases across a huge business, maybe one of the largest insurance companies or telecoms in the US, and now they're thinking about it times every single business unit at once in parallel. How do we do it for everything?
Depending on which part of that workforce lifecycle you're attacking, it's a little bit different, but generally it stems from the same advantages that extended reality provides, which is just virtual, but physical. You are virtual, but it doesn't feel that way because you get all the benefits of being onsite or being in person, and you get more benefits of, you can bend physics and you can do all sorts of crazy stuff. So, it really becomes an interesting new foundation to build on for work.
Be in the know about smart cities, AI, Internet of Things, VR, AR, robotics, drones, autonomous driving, and more of the coolest tech innovations.
