Every child has different ways of expressing their gender.
Some children are comfortable with their assigned sex at birth -whether male or female. Others express their identity in a way that challenges others' expectations, both socially and culturally. Trans-identified or transgender children, for one.
Transgender children (and their community in general) is an umbrella term for kids whose gender identity is opposite of their assigned sex.
In America, there are at least 1.4 million people who identify themselves as transgender. While this only accounts for 0.6% of the US population, the increased visibility of transgender people in recent years has gained them growing support in fighting for their rights.
As transgender identities have gained more social acceptance, kids coming out as trans are getting younger. As such, family and community support play a vital role in their overall transition.
Transgender kids and teens struggle and question their identity, and their parents are just as confused and often clueless.
Resorting to good old reliable books make a huge difference in how transgender children and their families deal with the situation.
In a search for relative answers and deeper understanding, family members looking for age-appropriate literature for their trans children and themselves might think that their options are limited.
The truth is, numerous reading materials can help them support, learn, raise, and start gender-sensitive conversations!
The shared experience, heartwarming stories, and uplifting views in these gender-themed books hope to guide and educate families in showing the unconditional love and acceptance that transgender people deserve, just like anyone else. These written resources are also helpful to teachers, school counselors, community, and mental health professionals.
Below are 20 best books for parents with transgender children that are available on Amazon.
To make the browsing of these choices easy for you, we categorized them into fiction and non-fiction books, and indicated the appropriate kids' ages for whom the stories and lessons apply:

Q: Arch Linux: colors from terminal in bash script? In addition to ArchLinux - yaourt: save updatelog?
With tee I am able to get the output at a file and at the terminal at the same time.
But when I execute yaourt -Syu | tee yaourt.log in a bash file (which is executed in a terminal) the output of yaourt does not have the usual colors (no colors). Also (sure) when opening the text file you cannot see colors.

*

*Is it possible to still see the color formatting of yaourt when executing the above command via a bash script?

*Is it possible to see the saved text in the same color formatting later again?

A: An easier way to display the color formatting of yaourt in the terminal and to save the output (with color codes) at the same time in a file is to use the yaourt color option :
yaourt -Syua --color | tee yaourt.log

To display the log file use :
cat yaourt.log

instead of a text editor, because the color codes make the log unreadable

I caved to social media peer pressure. I saw the adorable Oh Joy! line at Target and loved it, but didn't buy it. I came home and it seemed every other post on Pinterest or Instagram was a picture of someone's haul of sherbet colored loot. I suddenly felt a little panic stricken – what if they run out? What if I don't get that mint green cake stand I have absolutely no need for but love? What if? The next day I ran out and grabbed the cake stand (maybe some cups and plates too). Now what was I going to do with this beauty? Not bake a cake.
I didn't think I could love my cake stand more than I already did, but never under estimate the power of neon pink aquarium gravel and pom pom fringe. Pop over to I Love to Create (sponsored) and read the entire tutorial for how I made tiger terrarium magic out of a cake stand.
P.S. This is a sponsored post by I Love to Create but all the opinions, kitsch and ideas are mine.

Tell me more about that light fixture, please?!!
I found the light at the Round Top flea market last year. How could I leave behind a colorful, handmade, vintage swag lamp shaped like a teepee. I had an electrician hardwire it into the ceiling. It is kind of one of m favorite things ever. It was super dirty, but with a little TLC it looks perfect in the room.


Casey and Olga from Mirasol Farm make organic herbal skin care products almost entirely from plants grown on their small farm in Wisconsin. The ingredients they can't produce in-house are sourced from organic agriculture around the world. This couple has built a loyal following making exquisite hand-crafted soaps, salves and oils for over a decade.
Tell us the story of how you met.
We were both working on issues of violence against women – Casey for an organization that trains battered women's advocates, and Olga as a consultant on child abuse and domestic violence. The field is small enough that our paths were destined to cross – when they did, we both felt like we'd known each other for a very long time.
How did Mirasol Farm get started?
Mirasol Farm is a place – our home and organic farm – as well as our business name. When we met, Olga had been living in D.C. and Casey in northern Minnesota. Very different backgrounds, but our common dream was to find a way of living simply and working from home, so we bought a retired dairy farm in western Wisconsin and spent a year fixing it up with the idea that we'd do some sort of sustainable agriculture. It's been our labor of love. The Land Stewardship's Farm Beginnings Project helped us focus and distill our ideas. Five years later, we've built on Casey's love of making soap to growing and wildcrafting herbs into a variety of organic bath and body products.
What led you to sell on Etsy?
A friend of ours who's in the know said it was THE place to be if you wanted to sell handmade goodies. Without her foresight, we probably would have wandered around aimlessly for a while before finally landing here ourselves. Don't get me started on how amazing Etsy is for start-up artists and crafters, with a crazy friendly infrastructure, good solid advice, and a supportive community.
What's a day on Mirasol Farm like?
Being farmers, our lives are pretty active and our days vary widely according to season and weather. Without fail, we walk our three fabulous dogs every morning before letting the chickens out to roam. Then, like most modern farmers, after checking our email we'll seasonally plant, weed, harvest, weed again, mow, or shovel (snow) and go inside to make jam, salves, soap, and creams. We usually package up orders and drive into town to the post office just before it closes. In the evenings after dinner Casey works on new listings, does some research, or labels small things while we unwind.
Do each of you have different responsibilities and strengths, or do you do everything together?
Olga's consulting work on violence against women and children is still very important to her and keeps her pretty busy. Casey does most of the creating and behind-the-scenes work of the Etsy business, with Olga involved in almost every big decision and stepping in when needed. We do all in-person arts and crafts shows together.
What are the challenges of doing business together while maintaining a personal relationship?
We love working together and deliberately chose a life that supports that. But as other artists and crafters know, the biggest challenge of working from home is running a small business while continuing to sleep, eat, and be a good partner and friend. It's an intensely personal journey, translating broad priorities into daily decisions. Putting work aside to relax is VERY difficult. I'm writing this on a laptop on my dining room table, for example, and Mirasol Farm's tax and bookkeeping files cover every surface. I'm embarrassed to say that it's looked like this for weeks! Having someone over for dinner isn't in the cards right now.
What happens when you lock horns?
It's hard to admit this, but we really don't. We're one of those weird couples that don't argue. Maybe we need help!
What's the process like from idea to product launch? Give us an example from one of your favorite products.
Most of our ideas for new products start as special requests or gift ideas from customers or friends. For example, a good friend became pregnant several years ago. She was also a doula at the time, working for a non-profit organization that helped pregnant women in prison. The idea arose to develop an Organic Mama product line with postpartum bath tea and massage oils – first for Casey's friend, then as a fundraiser for the nonprofit. The bath tea recipe has been tweaked over the years – again, thanks to feedback from customers and friends. It's a very interactive process.
What's the line of products that you're most proud of and why?
Still soap; it's Casey's first love. Even though organic ingredients are expensive and limit our profit margin, we're especially proud of making organic soap. Most exotic oils – like coconut and palm, both essential soap ingredients – come from countries and peoples far away, and we feel that our buying decisions help support organic farmers around the world, healthy rivers and forests, and the human family.
My husband was wildly excited about your jams – have you thought about making more edible products?
Oh, that's very sweet! [Eek – no pun intended.] If the next stage in our business development actually happens – a separate studio building with an industrial kitchen – then yes! But right now our kitchen space limits production and the type of edible products we can make.
Casey and Olga are the essence of handmade – products made from ingredients grown and harvested on their own farm. Visit Mirasol Farm on Etsy to learn more about their organic products, or order a sample pack of soap mini-bars! Mirasol Farm is also on Facebook, where Casey and Olga regularly announce upcoming craft shows they're attending in Wisconsin and nearby Minnesota.

We love the Mirasol products! At Journey Inn we have the hand soap and lotion in the guest rooms and offer them for sale. Our guests love them and love buying local. PS: we can relate to your story – living and working together – and finding the time to "not work", we should talk!

They call me the Hunter and Lord, that's my name
A pretty woman (girl) like you child are my only game
I bought me a love gun just the other day
Lord, and I aim to aim it your way
Ain't no use to hide
No there ain't no use to run
Cause I got you in the sights of my........
My love gun, my love gun, my love gun
God-dammed!
The first Time I saw you walkin' down the street
I said to myself, "Boom! Boom! Ain't she sweet!"
I got my love gun loaded
Loaded with a-huggin' and kissin'
And when I pull the trigger
There ain't gonna be no missin'

This morning, we continue in our study of the gospel of John. In just a little bit, we'll be in John chapter 18.
Back in 1979, Stephen Pile wrote an entire book about that sort of thing. He called it, "The Book of Heroic Failures" and it contains a lot of stories about humiliating events. One of my favorites is a story of something that supposedly happened in 1978 during a fireman's strike that was going on in England.
Since all of the professional firefighters were on the picket lines, the British army was called in to take over their emergency calls., along with all of the other "side-duties" that fire-fighters are often expected to do. One day, the soldiers were called out by an elderly lady in South London who wanted them to retrieve her cat that was stuck up a tree.
Well, the soldiers got there quickly, and they very carefully rescued the cat out of the tree. The woman was so grateful for what they had done that she invited them all in for a cup of tea. But, then afterward, as the soldiers drove off, no doubt distracted by all the fond farewells and enthusiastic arm waving, they accidentally ran over the cat and killed it.
And I think that qualifies as messing up really bad. But I'm sure you can think of your own stories.
Times when you tried to do what was right but you failed miserably.
Or times when you got angry and did or said something extremely foolish in your anger.
Or times when you failed God and you did something that you know God didn't want you to do.
Or, maybe there were times when you didn't do something that you should have done. Times when you didn't stand up for someone else, and you let them get ridiculed or bullied. And you just kept quiet, to save your own neck.
In spite of our best intentions, we all fail. We all do things that cause us embarrassment or shame.
This morning, I want us to take a look at the actions of Peter on the night of Jesus' arrest. And I hope that by looking at his experience of failure, we can find some lessons that will help us deal with — or maybe even prevent — making the same mistakes.
We pick up in our story after Jesus and his disciples left the upper room and headed to the Garden of Gethsemane. Our video begins with John 18, verse 1, if you'd like to follow along.
Matthew tells us in his account that when Jesus was arrested, "all the disciples left him and fled." (Matthew 26:56). But there were at least two of them who began to follow Jesus and the soldiers from a distance. One of these disciples was Peter and the other is identified only as "another disciple" who was known to the high priest in some way so that he was able to get both himself and Peter into the courtyard.
Most scholars believe that this other disciple was the apostle John, and I am inclined to agree with them. But Peter is the one who is the focal point of our story. It's ironic that Peter about to undergo a trial of his own at the very same time that Jesus was being tried by the high priest.
No trials were supposed to occur during the nighttime hours — specifically, they were not allowed to take place before the morning sacrifice. But Jesus' trials did.
Trials were not allowed to be held during religious festivals, but Jesus' trial was held during the Passover.
All trials were to be public. Secret trials were forbidden. But, each of Jesus' six trials was private. Only his sentencing was public.
All trials were to be held in the Hall of Judgment in the temple area. None of Jesus' trials were held there.
An accused person could not be forced to testify against himself. But the Sanhedrin convicted Jesus based on his own words.
Someone was always required to speak on behalf of the accused. But no one spoke up for Jesus.
The high priest was not supposed to participate in the questioning of an accused, but both Annas and Caiaphas interrogated Jesus.
As you think about what happened to Jesus, let me ask you this — have you ever had a time in your life when you were treated unfairly? Maybe somebody accused you of doing something you didn't do. Or maybe someone slandered you falsely…or talked about you behind your back?
A few weeks ago, I learned that someone has been spreading a lie about me – accusing me of doing something absolutely terrible. An action so bad that, if it were true, I could be thrown into jail for it. But I didn't do it. I would never even think about doing it. And I had to spend some time prayer asking God how to respond to this accusation. Do I stand up for myself and defend my integrity? Or do I let my life stand as its own witness?
Maybe you've experienced something similar. If so, you need to know that Jesus understands what you're going through. He truly is, as the Hebrew writer put it, "a high priest who is [able] to sympathize with our weaknesses…one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus knows how to respond to people when they're being unfair, so when you're going through situations like that, look to him. Talk with him.
But, back to our text, I think it's interesting that John goes back and forth between Jesus standing trial and Peter out in the courtyard. And I think he did that on purpose, to help us to understand that it was for the sins of people like Peter — and you and me — that Jesus was willing to die. In the end, Jesus was victorious over his trials that night, but Peter was not. Peter failed miserably.
And if you look at the text, you'll see what I mean. It started when Peter walked into the high priest's courtyard. Then, he got a little closer and he was standing with the sinners…standing around the fire…and before long, he was sitting right there in their midst.
And I mention this to remind us that sin usually happens gradually. We don't usually start out with big failures. We almost always begin in situations where we know there will be temptation, which leads us to little sins…which leads us to bigger sins. And, before we know it, we've done something absolutely shameful. That's the way it was with Peter that night.
To which Peter responded, "No, I'm not." I'm not sure why he was hesitant to admit it to this girl, but he probably figured it was just easier that way. Let's not get into any discussions. Let's just ignore it and go on. I just want to hide over in the corner.
But now, Peter had a problem. By saying that to the gatekeeper, he had portrayed himself as an innocent bystander. And so, when the next question came, it was a little more difficult for him to reverse the course he had already taken.
Peter went into the courtyard and just tried to blend in with the crowd. I would imagine he didn't say anything and just tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. But it was hard to blend in because he was someone new, somebody different. And so, people noticed, and they wondered. And again, someone asked, "You also are not one of his disciples, are you?" (John 18:25).
The third question came from one of Malchus' relatives. Remember Malchus, the servant of the high priest whose ear Peter cut off in the garden? He took a closer look at Peter's face and he said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?" (John 18:26) He was certain he recognized Peter.
The other gospel writers tell us that some of the other bystanders took up the discussion and started to challenge Peter. Mark tells us that one of them said, "Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean." (Mark 14:70). In other words, Peter was recognized as being from Galilee because of his accent.
You see, most people from Peter's neck of the woods pronounced some words differently that the people in Jerusalem did…and these native Judeans were able to pick up on that. It would be like if you were to hear somebody talking who claimed to be from Alabama, but they said, "Pahk the cah in the yahd." Chances are pretty good you would know that somebody's not telling the truth!
It was at this point that Peter completely lost it. Once again, he denied that he even knew Jesus. Matthew tells us that he began to "curse" and "swear" (Matthew 26:74). which doesn't mean that Peter let loose a bunch of four-letter words. Rather, it means that he put himself under a curse in order to emphasize his statement. It would be like Peter saying, "May lightning strike me dead if I'm lying — I don't know Jesus! I swear on my grandmother's grave!" As I said earlier, there's a sense in which Peter was on trial, and so he put himself under an oath to convince his accusers that he was telling the truth.
But it was at that exact moment that the rooster began to crow just as Jesus had predicted. Luke tells us that at the very moment that the rooster was crowing, Jesus was led out of the high priest's house and he looked at Peter (Luke 22:61). Jesus made eye contact in a way that let Peter know that Jesus knew exactly what he had just done. Talk about humiliation!
We're not told what kind of look it was that Jesus gave Peter, so it makes me wonder. Was it a look of surprise? Not likely. Remember, Jesus told Peter this was going to happen.
Was it a look of anger and rejection? A look of judgment?" An "I told you so" sort of look? I don't think that's likely either. It's easier for me to imagine that it was a look of disappointment, but I don't think that's what it was either.
I think what Peter saw in the eyes of Jesus was love and grace. He saw a Savior who was on his way to the cross to die for Peter's failures. But, whatever the look was, it was a look that made Peter very aware of the sin he had just committed, and he went off into the night ashamed and weeping bitterly.
So, what do we learn from all of this? What was it that led Peter to his humiliating failure that night? I see two main factors.
1. First of all, there was Peter's over-confidence.
If we look back to Luke 22, we see a conversation that Jesus had back with Peter in the upper room just a few hours earlier.
Peter decided to follow Jesus that night when he should have heeded Jesus' warnings about his over-confident nature. Jesus had told the soldiers who came to arrest him to let his disciples go. And, Peter should have gone at that point, but he didn't. Jesus had told Peter to "watch and pray" so he would not fall into temptation. Jesus had told him his spirit was willing — but his flesh too weak to handle what was to come.
But over-confident Peter thought, "Not me. I know what Jesus said, but I can handle this. I'll only go so far and it won't hurt anything." But, of course, we know what happened. Peter was over-confident.
Now, don't misunderstand me. Confidence can be a good thing. It can positively affect everything you do — your conduct, your ability to learn, your growth, your choice of friends, your choice of a mate. It's not an exaggeration to say that a positive self-image is necessary for a successful life. But, while it is good to have confidence, it is dangerous to be OVER-confident.
Paul Powell has written, "If self-confidence is the first step to SUCCESS, overconfidence is the first step to FAILURE." And if we want to avoid Peter's kind of mistake, we need to understand that the kind of pride and arrogance that keeps people from recognizing and acknowledging their weaknesses has been the downfall of many folks.
But, of course, most of the time, they're not different. And they don't resist. And they sin because they put themselves in a situation where they were over-confident and thought they could handle it.
Jesus tried to warn Peter by saying to him, "You need to be careful because you're going to deny me three times before dawn." But Peter apparently thought he knew himself better than Jesus did.
We all need to be careful and recognize that the possibility of sin lies in all of our hearts. We should never make the mistake of saying that we would never mess up like someone else has made. We all have the potential for sin and we are in our greatest danger when, like Peter, we think otherwise.
Instead of self-confidence, we all need CHRIST-confidence. We need to realize that, just like Jesus said, "Apart from Me you can do NOTHING!" (John 15:5). Whenever we forget that, we're in trouble. Anything good that comes OUT of us is not BECAUSE of us, but rather it is because of HIM being IN us.
Jesus knows that every day, no matter how sheltered we are, we will face choices in which the wrong action is so seductive, so plausible, so pleasurable that it will take God's help for us to reject it. We need to realize that in these moments we could mess up and lose everything — our self-respect, our family, our health, our position. We need to understand that in order for us to fight the temptations that lead to those kinds of sins, we need God's help. That's why the apostle Paul told us to pray without ceasing.
We need to realize just how much we need to pray. We need to fall on our knees for strength, for wisdom. We need to run to God and ask for his help because we realize that we are no match for Satan. Only God can give us the power to withstand his attacks and prayer is our power line.
But, as I said, it is our overconfidence that causes us to neglect our prayer life. If we feel like we can handle things on our way, we don't feel the need to go to God in prayer. But we need to recognize our inadequacy, and prayer is our confession of inadequacy. It is a recognition of our limitations. And, if we ever get to where we think we no longer need God's help, we are headed for failure and shame.
Like Peter, there are times we've all been over-confident and times when we haven't prayed like we should. And like Peter, we've all experienced those moments of failure. What happened to Peter happens to every follower of Jesus at some point.
Here's the problem, though — we usually don't notice it while it's happening. I think we routinely deny Jesus. Just like Peter did. We just don't realize it.
And I think it's because we hear this story about Peter and we think it's just talking about a situation where somebody point-blank asks us, "Are you a follower of Jesus?" And then we have to answer either, Yes or No. But that doesn't happen to us very often, does it?
But let me tell you what does happen. Every day, we face situations and we have to make decisions that put our relationship with Jesus to the test. The circumstances we're faced with and the decisions we have to make demand an answer from us — Are we his disciples or not?
And it's usually not our words we answer with. We answer this question by what we do, by the choices we make. We answer whether or not we are Jesus' disciples by the lives we live.
Father, I ask you to help us to see all the ways in our lives that we have been like Peter that night. Show us the result of our over-confident, prayer-less actions. Show us how weak and foolish and faithless we have been at times. Show us the times we have compromised our faith by being silent about our walk with Jesus when we could have spoken up.
But Father, as we each remember those times, help us to see in your eyes, the forgiveness and love that Peter must have seen in Jesus' eyes that night. Thank you for sending your Son to die for our sins, those many occasions that we have let you down.
And Father, from this day forward, we ask that you would protect us from the evil one. Give us the power to resist Satan and to live boldly for you. We recognize that we are weak and helpless, and that we need your strength. Help us to keep or eyes on you.

The tires are perhaps one of the most important elements of your car. Think about it – tires are the only thing separating your car from the thousands of miles of road you travel on in a year. It is of utmost importance to keep your tires in great shape to ensure that you are driving safely and keeping your car in great working order. One of those regular services is rotating your tires.
Chances are, when you got your new car, there was an unmistakable "new car smell" that lingered for some time. Other than signaling how long it's been since you got the keys, your car can give off other smells that you should definitely not ignore.
Whether you buy new or used, your car is a huge decision. You take your time picking out the perfect one and vow to keep it clean and pristine forever. But that promise often gets broken after a period of time and messes happen.

Azerbaijan Declares 2016, the Year of Multiculturalism
Not many people know about this nation surrounding the Caspian Sea. When some hear of Azerbaijan, they think about an exotic land and possibly about energy resources if they have kept abreast of news stories recently.
Yet Azerbaijan has a deep history of tolerance towards other faiths and traditions. Many do not know that Azerbaijan has a Jewish history that goes back thousands of years and that it has been a gateway for Islamic thinkers, traders, Buddhists, Zoroastrians and many people of faith who travelled through the region and on the famous Silk Road. It is this migration and its geographical position that has made this country at ease with diversity and difference and where it has actively sought to protect minority communities and groups which it holds dear as part of its heritage.
Year of Multiculturalism Launched
On January the 11th 2016, President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree introducing the Year of Multiculturalism in Azerbaijan. This coming from a nation caught between countries where competing pressures of mono-culturalism from external forces have been kept at bay. A number of Governmental agencies will support the event and organise both national and international events.
It should also be highlighted that Azerbaijan was a country which established the first secular democracy in the Muslim world in 1918 and offered women the right to vote in 1919. Azerbaijan also contains one of the oldest mosques in the city of Shamakli, dating from 743 AD and also has one of the oldest Christian churches, an Armenian church from the 12th century.
Much has been done to promote the vision and values of the country around inter-community understanding, dialogue and interfaith engagement and 2016 will no doubt further raise the profile of this vibrant and modern country. If anything, it provides an example of how we must look outwards and reach to places beyond the bounds of Europe.

The regional Muslim leader has accused Asan Erinbayev, head of Karadarya district in southern Kyrgyzstan, of "blatantly arbitrary" action in closing six out of nine local mosques. "He behaves like a medieval khan," Dilmurat haji Orozov told Forum 18 News Service from Jalal-abad. He said the Muslim community would be campaigning for the return of the mosques to believers. When Forum 18 visited the district on 9 May, Erinbayev arrived by car within ten minutes and forced Forum 18's car to stop. He made no attempt to deny the closures, but claimed the mosques had been built on state-owned land. "Now that the mosques have been closed, I can monitor the activities of the imams on my territory," he told Forum 18.
Asan Erinbayev, head of the rural district of Karadarya, 30 kilometres (20 miles) west of the regional centre Jalal-abad in southern Kyrgyzstan, has closed down six of the nine functioning mosques in the area, local Muslims told Forum 18 News Service in Karadarya on 9 May. The Muslim leader in Jalal-abad region has accused Erinbayev of "blatantly arbitrary" action in closing the mosques. "He behaves like a medieval khan," Dilmurat haji Orozov told Forum 18 from Jalal-abad on 19 May. "As well as closing down six mosques, he has also sacked the imam of the central mosque in his district and appointed another in his place!" He said the Muslim community would be campaigning for the return of the mosques to believers.
Within ten minutes of Forum 18's arrival on the territory of Karadarya rural district, a Zhiguli car appeared and forced Forum 18's car to stop. The man who got out of the Zhiguli introduced himself as Asan Erinabayev and said that "he had learnt that journalists were operating on his territory". He then asked Forum 18 for its "authorisation to enter his territory". Forum 18's correspondent had to explain that he was in Kyrgyzstan legally and had the right to move around the country without special authorisation.
Erinbayev made no attempt to hide his closure of the mosques. "Yes, I did close the mosques because they had deliberately been built on state-owned land," he insisted to Forum 18. "Also, the imams in various mosques were preaching different things and I closed down some of the mosques so that they would not argue among themselves." He claimed that as the Karadarya district borders Uzbekistan "I have to monitor carefully the mood of believers". "It had got to the point where some imams were performing marriage ceremonies before the bride and groom had registered at the registry office! Now that the mosques have been closed, I can monitor the activities of the imams on my territory."
The district stretches for around 25 kilometres (15 miles) and local Muslims, who asked not to be identified, told Forum 18 that it is now very difficult for elderly believers to reach the remaining functioning mosques. They maintained that Erinbayev believed he could operate with complete impunity because his brother, Baimat Erinbayev, is a deputy of the regional assembly. They also alleged that Baimat Erinbayev is "one of the most influential mafia members in the region".
Orozov said Erinbayev distorted the facts when he claimed that the mosques he closed down had been built on state-owned land. He insisted that at the start of the 1990s, when land from collective farms was redistributed, this land was handed over so that mosques could be built. "Before Erinbayev, all the heads of the district believed the mosques were functioning legally," Orozov told Forum 18. "Erinbayev simply wants to govern the believers in his area."

Report: Product launches delayed due to Covid-19
Pandemic-related shortages place new emphasis on the importance of building resilient supply chains, researchers say.
DC Velocity Staff
Pandemic-related component delays and shortages in the electronics industry are highlighting the need for more resilient supply chains, according to a recent study from market researcher Dimensional Research and tech firm Supplyframe.
The study found that more than half of electronics industry product launches have been delayed or cancelled due to pandemic-related challenges; it also found that the situation has led to increased component costs, the need to rework products, and an inability to fill customer orders.
"That is especially problematic now, in a challenging economy that has increased the importance of driving new business and protecting margins," the researchers wrote.
Dimensional Research and Supplyframe conducted an online survey of 217 decision-makers responsible for sourcing electronic components at global manufacturers across high tech, industrial equipment, automotive, aerospace, and medical device companies with 500 or more employees. They found that the vast majority of respondents—91%—cite sourcing issues as the cause of product launch delays. An even greater share—95%—agreed that the path to solving component sourcing issues "requires integration of engineering, sourcing, finance, and supply chain teams, including external partners."
"New product introduction (NPI) is never easy, but the shortages experienced during the coronavirus pandemic have created a new set of challenges for manufacturers across the globe," Steve Flagg, CEO and founder of Supplyframe, said in a statement announcing the findings. "This experience puts greater emphasis on the importance of building resilient supply chains. That starts in the product design phase with a connected NPI process—enabling effective collaboration across sourcing, engineering, and manufacturing by injecting prescriptive intelligence at every decision point."
Other key supply chain findings include:
37% of companies surveyed said their overall component costs have increased
37% also said that they are unable to fill customer orders.
35% said they need to rework products to replace components that are no longer available.
31% said they are now onboarding new suppliers without going through approved vendor qualification processes, increasing their risk.
20% said they have an unusually high number of mistakes due to team members' stress and distraction.
17% said they have been forced to select lower-quality component options.

Scottish Government Statistical Services
1. This Statistics release presents updated information on applications made to local authorities under the homeless persons legislation during the period April to September 2007. It includes information on the characteristics of applicant households, local authority assessments and the action taken in respect of cases that were concluded. Snapshot data on households in temporary accommodation at 30 June, 30 September and 31 December 2007 are also presented in this release, together with data on the implementation of the Homeless Persons (Unsuitable Accommodation) (Scotland) Order 2004.
2. This is the first release following revision of homelessness data collection which took effect on 1 April 2007. Two local authorities have not yet successfully implemented the new system and were unable to provide case data for inclusion in this release. In addition, we have reason to believe data from several other local authorities may understate the situation on the ground. While the Scotland-level figures for the most recent period include estimates to adjust for under-reporting, the figures in this release should be regarded as provisional and will be updated in due course.

Currently rolling stock electromagnetic emissions is a major concern for train manufacturers and railway infrastructure operators [ERA EMC Report 2010]. Available harmonized EMC standards (EN50121-2, EN50121-3-1 and EN50121-3-2) do not completely address interoperability issues caused by rolling stock interferences with signalling systems (GSM-R, BTM, LTM and STM). Moreover, these standards do not cover representative worst-case conditions derived by transients in the rolling stock behaviour typically generated by feeding and track circuits' discontinuities.
On one hand this situation causes an important waste of time and resources for train manufacturers when integrating rolling stocks and signalling systems. And moreover in already tested trains, occasionally problems may still arise. Then, not only the responsibilities but also the technical solutions are not straight forward. The duration of the field testing employed to solve this kind of problems and to go through the certification process may vary between 3 months and 12 months. And the cost of the complete process may vary between 25k€ to 1,5M€ [ERA EMC Report 2010].
On the other hand, railway infrastructure operators suffer the railway infrastructure availability reduction caused by the rolling stock electromagnetic incompatibility with the safety critical signalling systems. The previously commented problems might cause an estimated reduction of 10% of the availability in the most crowded lines.
In this context, TREND (Test of Rolling Stock Electromagnetic Compatibility for cross-Domain Interoperability) project has the objective of addressing this situation by means of the design of a test setup that enables the harmonization of freight and passengers rolling stock approval tests for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) focusing not only on interferences with broadcasting services but also on railway signalling systems. TREND will also identify and design the cross acceptance test sites on electrified and non-electrified lines that reproduce representative worst case conditions for steady state and transient behaviours. These worst case conditions will be obtained thanks to the modelization of the rolling stock and the rail and feeding infrastructure.
The thorough analysis comprises measurement, modelization and safety and availability analysis of the effect of rolling stock's EMIs on the neighbouring systems. The system potentially affected by these EMIs will be completely covered. These are classified in four research areas: spot signalling system (which includes BTM, LTM and STM), track circuit, GSM-R and broadcasting services (which include TV, radio, Freight RFID, WFI and GSM). This complete physical environment will permit a precise analysis of the EMI coupling model affecting the whole communication systems. Thanks to the safety and availability model of the communication systems, TREND will design a test procedure that recreates representative worst-case for the rolling stock electromagnetic emissions that could affect interoperability including transient phenomena.

Q: MAVEN Archetype choosing Hi i am just new to maven.
My requirement is to build a ear with 2 wars and also create a jar.
I tried using some archetypes but few folder structure are missing.
My maven folder structure should contain
src/main/
   java
   resource
   webapp
   test/java
   test/resource.
Which archetype will be a suitable?

A: You cannot have it in single project, Since the EAR consists of different modules.
So create separate project for war, jar and build.
To create war file use maven-archetype-webapp, and for jar use maven-archetype-quickstart.
Then include those project module in main project pom file with module
Eg
<modules>
    <module>expLogdao</module>
    <module>expLogservice</module>
    <module>expLogweb</module>
    <module>expLogear</module>
</modules>

Then use separate project to build ear
Now include all project modules in ear project dependencies tag
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.expLog.service</groupId>
        <artifactId>expLogservice</artifactId>
        <type>jar</type>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.expLog.dao</groupId>
        <artifactId>expLogdao</artifactId>
        <type>jar</type>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.expLog.web</groupId>
        <artifactId>expLogweb</artifactId>
        <type>war</type>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

A: Because of the formatting of the question it is a little tough to see what exactly you want.
