WHAT'S NEW IN TOWN – December/January 2018
By SOMI PUBLISHER on December 8, 2017 DECEMBER/JANUARY 2018, In The News, News, Topics, Volume XIII, Whats New In Town
With a mid-November opening, Shelley's is the new go to in SOMI for great bites and drinks. The restaurant is quaint and cozy, with a décor that is nostalgic, comfortable and coastal clean. Partner Brian Griffiths says "We opened with the goal of serving fresh seafood and bottled cocktails to guests in an inclusive, fun, and laid-back environment."
Owner Brian Griffiths (R) and Chef Cleo
Griffiths has 7 years in the restaurant/bar business, Chef Cleophus leads the team at Shelley's, a Seafood Bar by Bad JuJu. And complimenting Chef Cleo's fish camp-inspired cuisine, is a bar program featuring domestic wines, local craft beers, and a cocktail program showcasing bottled, draft, and frozen cocktails.
In a "hat's off" to the historic South Miami district, owners Brian Griffiths and Dan Sandburg, named the restaurant after the historic Shelley building where it is located. "We want to be 'the restaurant' that serves the neighborhood." Come on down.
Shelley's is open Tuesday – Saturday, serving lunch from 11:30a -3:30p; dinner from 4:30 -11p. Sunday brunch
from 11a – 4p.
5845 Sunset Drive | 786.534.7830 |
Jenna White, known for her women's and home store in South Miami for the past eleven years, has opened Jenna White Kids on the same block on Sunset Drive.
Jenna White
Opening in mid-November, Jenna White Kaplan was jubilant to note that "We are excited to present over 40 children's clothing, decor, accessory, book and toy collections from all over the world." Her idea was to create magical, novelty, and dreamland that embodies all the fantastical ideals of being a kid. At Jenna White Kids, they will carry both girls & boys ages newborn to 12 years old. Inspred by her own son, seven year old Jesse, Jenna says "It was important to me to not only have incredible girl's designers, but to make sure the boys were equally represented. I think I created something that he would love just as much s I do". It was key to curate collections that parents and kids would appreciate equally-always finding special qualities in every piece. "I want my son to see how much love I put into this and to know he inspired the overall vibe of the store."
Paulo & Tatiana Francez
Owners Paulo & Tatiana Francez have turned a 750 sq foot space on Sunset Drive into a treasure trove of interesting, fun gifts and gadgets, named URBEN, a more modern appeal with an "E".
A dynamic couple, they came to the Untied States from Sao Paolo in 2015. Tatians had prior experience in architecture and interior design. Paulo, for ten years was a professional soccer player for Palmeiras (1986-96). He owns a sports hotel and soccer training facility outside of Sao Paolo in Santa Filomena. This facility is presently leased by Red Bull. He also is a volunteer soccer coach at Gulliver, where their children attend school.
At URBEN, choosing the right gift is an exciting experience, shoppers will find the creative, modern and certainly unexpected. Uniquely designed, they sell smart, creative gadgets meant to entertain and inspire. From home accessories, electronics, toys for boys, kids toys, you name it… they have it, but only "cooler." Gifts and gadgets come from all over Europe, Japan and their native Brazil. Customers will find gifts from $3.00 bracelets to an $800 wine book.
Conveniently located in the heart of SOMI on Sunset Drive, they combine impeccable customer service with a lively atmosphere and modern decor, creating the right setting for your gift shopping mission. At URBEN, says Tatiana, "we believe in the importance of celebrating life's milestones, even the smallest of them, and we do it with passion,"
CraveClean Protein Bakery was started by Miami native and fitness fanatic, Francesca Morello, who started the bakery out of the struggle of finding a delicious, yet guilt-free snack. Instead of eating the protein bars she turned to that were packed with sugar, her go-to is her very own Choco-Oat cupcake which blends banana and chocolate chips, making it an any-time-of-day snack. She "has kicked carbs and calories to the curb, creating healthy snacks that don't taste like punishment" as noted in an article published in Peter Max, May/June 2014.
Francesca Morello & Claire Going

Rebecca Blackwell, local blogger behind Of Batter + Dough, showed us how to make a spirit infused carrot cake. Here's a sweet sample of what Rebecca's been baking in her kitchen.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 inch Bundt pan.
2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the wire whisk (or a large mixing bowl and a hand whisk), mix together the sugars, vegetable oil and applesauce until well combined. Add the yogurt, vanilla, eggs and egg yolk and mix until slightly lightened – about 1 minute on medium speed.
3. In a separate bowl, blend the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg with a wire whisk until combined. If using a standing mixer, switch to the paddle attachment and blend the flour mixture into the wet ingredients on medium-low, just until combined and smooth – about 1 minute. If mixing by hand, use a wooden spoon. Stir in the grated carrots.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes. When done, the cake will be pulling away from the sides of the pan slightly, and if you insert a toothpick in the center, it will have some cake crumbs stuck to it, but not batter. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5. When the cake is completely cool, mix all the frosting ingredients together in a bowl with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Spread icing on cooled cake. Serve immediately with generous amounts of Caramel Rum Sauce, or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
1. Put all the ingredients except the vanilla and rum in a large heavy sauce pan or Dutch oven over medium heat and bring to a boil. *The sauce bubbles up quite high in the pan, so use a large pan.
2. Reduce heat slightly and cook for about 30 min., stirring frequently, until the sauce is a gorgeous caramel color and registers between 230-240 degrees on a candy thermometer.
3. Remove from stovetop and stir in vanilla and rum. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
As far as I'm concerned, there are few desserts that don't benefit enormously from being brushed with amaretto, doused in rum, spiked with bourbon, or dipped in Frangelico. Case in point: the classic carrot cake.
Carrot cake is a humble dessert. It's not flashy or pretentious. There are vegetables in it, for goodness sake. Over the years, I've baked my way through many carrot cake recipes. But when a friend asked me to make her birthday cake, I decided to up my game. This recipe is the result. Thanks to the addition of yogurt and applesauce, this cake is about as moist and flavorful as you can get. Topped with not-too-sweet cream cheese icing, it will cause people to swear their undying love if you would just make it for them one more time.
But, the pièce de résistance is the caramel rum sauce.
It's smooth and silky and so divine you'll want to eat it by the spoonful (or pour it into a shot glass!). It would make shoe leather taste like a gourmet treat. It does take a fair amount of self control to not just eat it out of the jar with a spoon, but if you can manage it, it's pretty awesome stuff to have on hand. Spoon it over ice cream, cheesecake, roasted fruit, brownies, apple pie, any kind of cake… whatever strikes your fancy. And while we're talking options, why limit yourself to rum? Switch it up with whisky, bourbon or brandy.
My husband took some of this cake and caramel rum sauce to the office with him, and one woman said it was the best thing she'd ever eaten. I don't know that it's the best thing I've every eaten… but, it might be close.

Parkland Fuel Corporation delivers gasoline, diesel, propane, lubricants, heating oil, and other high-quality petroleum products to motorists, businesses, households, and wholesale customers in Canada and the United States. They've seen significant growth over the past five years from several medium- to large-sized acquisitions which fundamentally changed the way their business operates.
Strafford was selected to help Parkland Fuel replace manual-intensive SQL processes with Oracle's FDMEE solution and to do a partial implementation of Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) so that they could demonstrate the power of the platform to their business and executive team leaders. By implementing FDMEE, Parkland has improved efficiency, reduced their reliance on IT, expanded metadata capabilities, gained confidence in data loads, and has achieved greater scalability for future growth.
"[Strafford was] very knowledgeable on the products and on the business side. They displayed technical expertise but also had the business and finance skills that we felt were important.""
Due to tremendous growth, Parkland sought to replace an existing manual-intensive SQL-server-based data loading and metadata management solution that was cumbersome to maintain with a modern ETL solution.
Because Parkland was already familiar with Hyperion Planning and Essbase, they wanted an Oracle solution with the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), so they decided to go with Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management Enterprise Edition (FDMEE). They ran into some unique issues with regards to how their ERP system handled special characters, but together Strafford and Parkland were able to successfully modernize data load processes and improve the integration with their ERP system.
"Strafford was able to deliver a unique solution that addressed the requirement. Strafford was essential for getting through that hurdle with Oracle."

SFC's Kuhn in firing line as Linus Torvalds takes aim
SFC's Kuhn in firing line as Linus Torvalds takes aim Featured
A few days after he mused that there had been no reason for him to blow his stack recently, Linux creator Linus Torvalds has directed a blast at the Software Freedom Conservancy and its distinguished technologist Bradley Kuhn over the question of enforcing compliance of the GNU General Public Licence.
Torvalds' rant came on Friday, as usual on a mailing list and on a thread which was started by Software Freedom Conservancy head Karen Sandler on Wednesday last week. She suggested that LinuxCon in Toronto, held from Monday to Thursday, also include a session on GPL enforcement.
In an interview with iTWire last week to mark the 25th birthday of the kernel, Torvalds had expressed similar views about the GPL to what he did on Friday, though his language was extremely temperate on that occasion.
Kernel developer Christoph Hellwig lost a GPL case against virtualisation company VMware in the first week of August, having alleged that the company had been using his code from the Busybox utility without providing source. Last month the SFC had highlighted the case of another developer, Patrick McHardy, alleging that he is using GPL enforcement to make money.
Thus, GPL enforcement is in the news, even though most mainstream Linux websites avoid reporting on what they consider negative aspects of life in the FOSS community. iTWire was conspicuous by its reporting of Hellwig's loss.
Early on in the discussion, which is well worth reading, a number of developers cautioned that while discussing enforcement issues was topical and necessary, doing it at a conference of this kind could well lead to people who took part being deposed later on by lawyers for their own cases.
Sandler's request was denied by senior developer Greg Kroah-Hartman, who was more inclined to the view that GPL violations could be tackled from within a company, rather than by lawsuits. As the discussion continued, Kroah-Hartman, whose appearance belies his gentleness, made an impassioned plea for tackling the matter as he had suggested.
Responding to Kuhn, who said: "In response, we have two options: we can all decide to give up on the GPL, or we can enforce it in Courts", Kroah-Hartman said, in an uncharacteristic outburst, "I call bullshit on this. And frankly, I'm tired of hearing it, as it's completely incorrect and trivialises the effort that thousands of people have been doing for 25+ years to preserve the rights that the GPL grants us."
And he added, in part: "By working with people, and showing them the BENEFIT of the GPL, we grow our community, ensure our survival, and win converts to the licence itself as now those people have a stake in it as their company relies on it."
At this point, Matthew Garrett, a former kernel developer and someone who was not attending LinuxCon, joined the discussion, pushing his view that a militant approach was better.
Perhaps Torvalds was annoyed by this; after all, he has had sharp words for Garrett on a previous occasion. Whatever the reason, Torvalds, who is not a member of the mailing list, responded soon after, and backed Kroah-Hartman to the hilt, describing the latter's earlier response as "a thing of beauty".
He backed the proposal to have a discussion on GPL enforcement but said no lawyers should be present, only developers. "I personally think this arguing for lawyering has become a nasty festering disease, and the SFC and Bradley Kuhn has been the Typhoid Mary spreading the disease," Torvalds said.
Typhoid Mary refers to Mary Mallon, a woman who was responsible for infecting 51 people with typhoid as she was the first American to become an asymptomatic carrier of the disease in the early 1900s.
Torvalds wasn't quite done. "I think the whole GPL enforcement issue is absolutely something that should be discussed, but it should be discussed with the working title 'Lawyers: poisonous to openness, poisonous to community, poisonous to projects'," he said.
"...quite apart from the risk of loss in a court, the real risk is something that happens whether you win or lose, and in fact whether you go to court or just threaten: the loss of community, and in particular exactly the kind of community that can (and does) help. You lose your friends.
"Because lawsuits — and even threats of lawsuits — make companies way less likely to see you as a good guy. Even when you're threatening somebody else, everybody else around the target starts getting really, really antsy."
After Garrett responded, Torvalds again pushed his argument about getting people to co-operate on GPL compliance by working from within a company, pointing out that the person who had filed the initial case about GPL violations in Busybox now regretted having done so.
Samba developer Jeremy Allison, who is on the board of the SFC, joined the discussion late, and pointed out that despite the Samba project having participated in the EU lawsuit against Microsoft, developers in Redmond and he were on good terms now.
"Samba and the FSFE were the last entities standing in the Microsoft vs EU anti-trust lawsuit. We even helped cost them over US$1b in fines. Next month I'll be going up to my second invite-only Microsoft plugfest of the year – this one set up specifically for the team that sued them. I'll be visiting several of my friends there, including one of their lawyers (although the rest of them are engineers," he wrote.
Overall, there was agreement on the need to carry on talks in private over GPL enforcement, rather than make a song and dance about it.

This activity aimed to initiate entrepreneurial and innovative skills among students. Divided into 4 groups, students worked in teams over 1 year (March 2018 – March 2019) to propose a new intervention that could transform the way research is planned, conducted or reported.
They had several opportunities to receive feedback from the consortium via video-conferences or face-to-face meetings (e.g. in Split on October 2018).
Each team presented their ideas to the consortium and to a group of 4 external experts invited to a dedicated session on the challenge, taking place during the project network meeting on March 26, 2019 in Barcelona. Experts had the opportunity to ask questions after each presentation and all the proposed projects received very good feedback from the jury who congratulated everybody for the quality of their work.
In the end, the group composed of Alice Biggane (ESR2), Lorenzo Bertizzolo (ESR7) and Ketevan Glonti (ESR13) won the challenge with a project focusing on "Enhancing patient participation in Core Outcome Set development- An alternative method of outcome generation".

The Glory of the EmpireA Novel, A History
by Jean d'Ormesson, translated from the French by Barbara Bray, introduction by Daniel Mendelsohn
Available as E-BookFrench LiteratureHistorical FictionInternational Literature
The Glory of the Empire is the rich and absorbing history of an extraordinary empire, at one point a rival to Rome. Rulers such as Basil the Great of Onessa, who founded the Empire but whose treacherous ways made him a byword for infamy, and the romantic Alexis the bastard, who dallied in the fleshpots of Egypt, studied Taoism and Buddhism, returned to save the Empire from civil war, and then retired "to learn to die," come alive in The Glory of the Empire, along with generals, politicians, prophets, scoundrels, and others. Jean d'Ormesson also goes into the daily life of the Empire, its popular customs, and its contribution to the arts and the sciences, which, as he demonstrates, exercised an influence on the world as a whole, from the East to the West, and whose repercussions are still felt today. But it is all fiction, a thought experiment worthy of Jorge Luis Borges, and in the end The Glory of the Empire emerges as a great shimmering mirage, filling us with wonder even as it makes us wonder at the fugitive nature of power and the meaning of history itself.
Jean D'Ormesson, introduction by Daniel Mendelsohn
D'Ormesson provides witty fictional documentation, parodies opinions of historians and literati (there is a one-line parody of Walt Whitman), borrows outrageously and has caught brilliantly the "Where is Nineveh now?" tone of sunset reflection. A tour de force.
No epic—sung, printed, or filmed—equals the sweeping turbulence of the 1,000-year history of the Empire...D'Ormesson's satire undermines important assumptions of the reigning ideology: that history is objective; narratives, neutral; that language transmits pre-existing truth...[The novel] is pure pleasure...it will absorb you, puzzle you, make you laugh...So powerful is the narrative that the passive reader risks overlooking much of the satire; the active reader, however, can find materials for a debunking operation the likes of which d'Ormesson himself perhaps never imagined.
—William Beauchamp, The New York Times

England were drawn into Group D with Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic. They opened the tournament with a win against Croatia (2018 World Cup Runner-Ups) 1-0, although in a display of unconvincing football. England manager Gareth Southgate was criticized for his defensive and conservative tactics. That criticism reached its peak, as England drew 0-0 against Scotland on Matchday 2 of Group D. Lack of offensive movement and goal scoring chances was apparent. They wrapped up the first place in the group with a 1-0 win over Czech Republic. Although they have not allowed a single goal, few were impressed with England's tournament so far.

With this being an easy win for the Tide, A&M will rely on either Arkansas or Auburn to give Alabama that key second SEC loss and put the Aggies (the Texas A&M version) in the SEC West captain's chair. Kentucky has had a rough go of it lately, informative post losing their last three after starting the season 6-0. But nothing cure the losing streak woes like a trip to Nashville. No implications for the Aggies here, but you have to think Kentucky wins big, and keeps their hopes of a nine-win season alive . This goes against what I just said above, but I think Aggies should be rooting for Arkansas here.
My point is, you're going to have drawing pains with first-round quarterbacks or with any rookie quarterback.

Pittsburgh is a 6.5-point favorite, up slightly from the opening number of 6 points. Oklahoma is ranked No. 8 in the latest rankings, which is surprisingly low for an undefeated team in a Power Five conference.

How much revenue will I achieve by the end of the month?
How many customers can I expect to acquire by month end?
The simplest and quickest way to create these projections is to simply take your current month performance and add it to the same value divided by the current day of month and then multiply this by the number of remaining days in the month.
Simply bring in an appropriate month column and the KPI you want to forecast (the logic below could be re-worked for weekly, quarterly on yearly projections).
Thanks Marcus! This have been really helpful.
Manage to implement it successfully.
For my use case, I needed a forecast for the month where performance was compared to the same month in the previous year. I found that I needed a forecast that was not going to be skewed heavily by early outliers (i.e. high or low spikes in performance early in the month that would have a big impact on the extrapolation). To refine the forecast, I developed a formula that would take the current year's performance to date and then add on the previous year's performance for the remainder of that month.
First of all, my table is set up with events / categories as the row labels, and then I have a MTD columns of data for the current year and previous year.

EU sanctions against Mugabe and his 'gang' to stay
1 Comment	/ Uncategorized / By Editor
(Last Updated on January 1, 2013 by Editor)
ZIMBABWE – The European Union might not remove the sanctions imposed on Mugabe and his ZANU-PF thugs when the 27 member bloc meets in Brussels next month to review its stance on the embargoes, parties in the inclusive Government hinted yesterday.
Although ZanuPF and MDCT were unanimous that the embargoes would be extended to February 2014, the reasons the two parties gave were miles apart.
ZanuPF argued the sanctions would not be removed as long as Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was not in power, while the MDCT claims they would remain in place as long as Global Political Agreement issues were not fully implemented.
The EU meets in February to review among other issues its position on sanctions it imposed on Zimbabwe, mainly on ZanuPF officials and 70 companies, about a decade ago.
Speaking to Mugabe's propaganda machine – The Herald yesterday, ZanuPF secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa said it was imperative for the country to understand why the EU imposed the sanctions on Zimbabwe.
"The sanctions were imposed to install the MDC and (Mr) Tsvangirai into power. I know the sanctions are going to be extended until after elections (this year). We are not going to have elections before February and this means the sanctions are going to remain in place until 2014," he said. Mutasa said the EU was likely to remove the sanctions after February 2014.
"It is naïve to think that the sanctions will be removed this February. The EU, might, just as a face saver, remove the sanctions after February 2014, not because the MDC–T will have won — of course ZanuPF will win — but will be ashamed to continue having them in place," he said.
More than a 100 key individuals have been covered under an EU travel ban and assets freeze imposed in 2002 as the bloc joined Britain in fighting Zimbabwe over the land reform programme. ZanuPF is advocating for the unconditional and total removal of the sanctions.
MDCT negotiator, Mr Elton Mangoma, who has also taken part in the reengagement meetings in Brussels, yesterday said he did not expect positive change from the EU.
He said no meetings had been convened between the EU and the reengagement team since May last year.
"As far as we went to Brussels and met in May before the EU's last review meeting on Zimbabwe we have not given them any new information as the reengagement team. I think they are going to assess us based on the information we gave them before May.
"We have not dialogued with them since May and there will be no new basis to review their stance. We had told them that we were going to have referendum and that has not happened. We are still squabbling with the draft constitution. If I for one is disappointed with the constitution making process, what about the EU," said Mr Mangona.
However, Mrs Priscilla Misihairabwi Mushonga was somehow optimistic that something positive was likely to come out of the EU's February meeting.
"The EU indicated in their last review of the sanctions that they were going to review their position on Zimbabwe. They are reengaging Zimbabwe on development matters and they are going to be funding us. We hope they are going to implement what they agreed to do.
"They have committed themselves to be implementing that and we know they are in the process of doing that," said Mrs Misihairabwi Mushonga.
Robert Mugabe and his Zanu-PF gang
When the EU members met in Brussels on 23 July 2012, the council adopted the following among other issues:
1. The EU is encouraged by the progress that is being made in implementing the Global Political Agreement by the Government of National Unity in Zimbabwe. It welcomes the constructive dialogue that has been established in the process of EU re-engagement with all parties in the GNU, including through the meeting in May this year between High Representative Ashton and the members of the Zimbabwe Ministerial Re-engagement Committee. The EU welcomes the continued commitment of Sadc to support the implementation of the GPA, as expressed at the recent extraordinary Sadc Summit in Luanda.
2. The steps taken by the GNU to improve the freedom and prosperity of the Zimbabwean people justify the immediate suspension of the measures hitherto applied under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement. This will allow the EU to work directly with the GNU to develop new assistance programmes for the benefit of the people of Zimbabwe that would come on stream under the next European Development Fund.
3. The EU welcomes the recent visit to Zimbabwe of the UN HCHR at the invitation of the GNU. It recognises the improvement that has been achieved in the human rights situation although significant areas of concern remain.
4. As indicated in February this year and consistent with its incremental approach, the EU will further adjust its policy to recognise progress as it is made by the Zimbabwean parties along the Sadc roadmap. The EU agrees that a peaceful and credible constitutional referendum would represent an important milestone in the preparation of democratic elections that would justify a suspension of the majority of all EU targeted restrictive measures against individuals and entities.
5. The EU reaffirms its partnership with the people of Zimbabwe. It calls on all parties to seize the momentum to complete implementation of the GPA in preparation for elections next year. "
It is against this background that other members are pessimistic that the embargoes will be lifted given that certain issues such the holding of the referendum and other reforms that the EU wants have not been fulfilled.

'He's terrified': Iraqi man fears deportation fueled by Trump travel ban
Neal Augenstein | @AugensteinWTOP
An Iraqi national is desperately clinging to hope that he'll be able to remain in the U.S., despite a deportation order fueled by President Donald Trump's travel ban.
WASHINGTON — Jony Jarjiss came from Iraq to the United States for the love of a woman — 25 years later he's fighting to stay for the love of his new country.
And, to avoid being killed in his former home.
Jarjiss, who was detained Thursday, is one of several hundred Iraqi nationals fighting desperately to remain in the United States, despite deportation orders that are being fueled by President Donald Trump's most recent travel ban.
Also this week, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. cannot immediately deport nearly 200 Iraqi nationals who were arrested last month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The ICE raids were precipitated, indirectly, by the Trump administration's travel restrictions that bar new visas for people from six predominantly Muslim countries. Iraq was dropped from the list when the president reissued the order in March.
For decades, Iraq has refused to issue paperwork to accept Iraqi nationals whom the United States wanted to deport.
However, in March, Iraq agreed to begin accepting deportees in exchange for being dropped from the list of countries affected by Trump's revised travel ban.
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith, in Michigan, has ordered the government to keep the Iraqis here while their deportation cases are reviewed by immigration courts.
If the Iraqis were deported now, it would subject them to "substantial risk of death, torture, or other grave persecution before their legal claims can be tested in a court," Goldsmith's order reads.
One man's story
"Jony left Iraq because he was in love with a woman who lived here in the U.S., who grew up with him in his village in Iraq," said Jarjiss' lawyer, Edward Bajoka. "He entered the U.S. on a fiance visa, which lets a person stay in the country for 90 days, during which he must get married to his sponsor."
But that didn't happen.
"Long story short, the marriage never occurred," said Bajoka. "He and his fiancee, it just didn't work out."
His client, who lives in Saginaw, Michigan, overstayed his three-month visa — in large part because he feared Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
"He was afraid to go back to Iraq because he had deserted the Iraqi army before the first Gulf War," Bajoka said. "Desertion of the army is punishable by death, and Saddam's regime would definitely not hesitate to put him to death."
In 1994, Jarjiss was ordered deported, but remained here because at the time the U.S. had no diplomatic relationship with Iraq.
"Iraq would not accept him back throughout the entire reign of Saddam Hussein, or even after the Saddam regime fell, after the U.S. invasion (of Iraq in 2003)," Bajoka said.
So, Jony Jarjiss has been living the life of an American.
"He works in a grocery store seven days a week, doesn't make much money, pays his taxes," said Bajoka. "He barbecues on the 4th of July, celebrates Thanksgiving — he's an average, everyday, American guy."
And, once a year he checked-in with immigration officials. But this week, Jarjiss's American dream turned into a nightmare.
"He reported to ICE with me for his regular check in," said Bajoka. He said his client was nervous, waiting outside the ICE field office in Detroit.
"They detained him there on the spot, after making us wait six hours."
Bajoka said Jarjiss was kept in solitary confinement but was transported to a prison in Youngstown, Ohio, on Friday.
"I spoke with him by phone. He's scared. He's nervous," said his attorney. "He told me he feels he might have been better off jumping in the river and trying to make his way across to Canada."
Why Jarjiss?
Since the June roundup, ICE officials have said most of the people arrested and scheduled for deportation have committed a crime, other than being in the United States illegally.
"Jony has never been convicted of any crime whatsoever, in the United States or any other country," Bajoka said. "Jony is the first person that I'm aware of that has been detained that does not have a criminal history."
Contacted by WTOP, an ICE spokesman in Detroit said he would research the specifics of Jarjiss' detention but has not yet said why he was detained.
Jarjiss has a 21-year-old daughter, and a baby grandson, who are both American citizens. In addition, his siblings are all American citizens or permanent residents.
"She's beside herself at the thought of her father being deported," said Bajoka, of Jarjiss' daughter given Iraq's current climate.
"Anyone who has been in the West, particularly the United States, that's sent back to Iraq is a target for Shiite militias, for ISIS, for other paramilitary groups that would seek to do harm to Americans," said the attorney.
"Jony, in particular, is a Christian. He's a Caldean Catholic," said Bajoka. "The Caldean Catholic villages were specifically targeted, and taken over, ransacked and looted by ISIS in June 2014."
"Jony would be a prime target."
Bajoka said his client, and he, are continuing to fight.
"Thankfully, he cannot be just sent away, right away," Bajoka said.
With the federal stay in place until July 24, Bajoka plans to file emergency motions in the next few days to get Jarjiss released on bond.
In addition, he will file an emergency motion to reopen Jarjiss' immigration case, on the grounds that conditions have changed in Iraq. "Because Iraq has certainly changed since the 90s, when he was originally ordered deported."
"Jony is praying that the United States will prove itself to be the greatest country on Earth, and allow him to stay here with his family."

Q: Removing duplicate PHAssets from an array? I'm using third party library called BSImagePicker to select multiple images from the photo library. I can set maximum PHAssets to be selected, but the problem comes when I display the BSImagePickerController to choose more photos. Those PHAssets are just additionally added to the selectedAssets and practically duplicates the images. I tried to remove the duplicates PHAsset and images using but it's not working:
extension Array where Element: Equatable {
mutating func removeDuplicates() {
    var result = [Element]()
    for value in self {
        if !result.contains(value) {
            result.append(value)
        }
    }
    self = result
   }
}

func presentBSImagePickerController(vc: BSImagePickerViewController) {
        self.bs_presentImagePickerController(vc, animated: true,
                                             select: { (asset: PHAsset) -> Void in

        }, deselect: { (asset: PHAsset) -> Void in
            // User deselected an assets.

        }, cancel: { (assets: [PHAsset]) -> Void in
            // User cancelled. And this where the assets currently selected.

        }, finish: { (assets: [PHAsset]) -> Void in

            // User finished with these assets

            for i in 0..<assets.count  {
                self.selectedAssets.append(assets[i])
            }
            self.selectedAssets.removeDuplicates()

            self.convertAssetToImages()

        }, completion: nil)
    }

    func convertAssetToImages() -> Void {

        if selectedAssets.count != 0 {

            for i in 0..<selectedAssets.count {

                let manager = PHImageManager.default()
                let option = PHImageRequestOptions()
                var thumbnail = UIImage()
                option.isSynchronous = true

                manager.requestImage(for: selectedAssets[i], targetSize: CGSize(width: 200, height: 200), contentMode: .aspectFill, options: option, resultHandler: {(result, info)->Void in
                    thumbnail = result!

                })

                let data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(thumbnail, 0.7)
                let newImage = UIImage(data: data!)

                self.photosArray.append(newImage! as UIImage)
                self.photosArray.removeDuplicates()
                print(self.photosArray.removeDuplicates())

                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.collectionView.reloadData() // reloads the collection view on main thread
                }
            }
        }
    }

A: The problem with
for i in 0..<assets.count  {
    self.selectedAssets.append(assets[i])
}
self.selectedAssets.removeDuplicates()

...is that your removeDuplicates (apart from being intolerably slow!) simply assumes that PHAsset equality is the mark of a duplicated image. It isn't. An asset is just a temporary representative of what's in the library. What you want to know is whether the local identifier of an asset matches that of one that you already have. I would suggest this:
var ids = Set(self.selectedAssets.map {$0.localIdentifier})
for asset in assets  {
    if !ids.contains(asset.localIdentifier) {
        ids.insert(asset.localIdentifier)
        self.selectedAssets.append(asset)
    }
}

We make a list of all the local identifiers of the assets we already have. Then we append an asset (and its identifier) only if its identifier is not in the list. This will be much faster (because Set contains is much faster than Array contains), and should also prevent "the same photo" from appearing twice.

A: Step: 1. This code should be sufficient:
extension Array where Element: Equatable {
mutating func removeDuplicates() {
    var result = [Element]()
    for value in self {
        if !result.contains(value) {
            result.append(value)
        }
    }
    self = result
}

}
Step: 2. "selectedAssets" which is PHAssets type array, you have to remove all the assets form "selectedAssets" array. Because you are showing multiImage from "photosArray" this array always has your image, and "selectedAssets" array always has reference value after being deleted. So remove all assets form  "selectedAssets" array before for loop which is shown below. Or if you have any query, feel free to ask anything to me(Mohit Tomer)
// MARK:- Selecting Multiple Image From Gallery.
func showingImagePicker() {
    let vc = BSImagePickerViewController()
    var ids = Set(self.selectedAssets.map {$0.localIdentifier})
    vc.maxNumberOfSelections = 5
    vc.cancelButton.tintColor = UIColor.red
    vc.selectionCharacter = "✓"

    self.bs_presentImagePickerController(vc, animated: true, select: { (asset: PHAsset) -> Void in
        print("Selected: \(asset)")
    }, deselect: { (asset: PHAsset) -> Void in
        print("Deselected: \(asset)")
    }, cancel: { (assets: [PHAsset]) -> Void in
        print("Cancel: \(assets)")
    }, finish: { (assets: [PHAsset]) -> Void in
        print("Finish: \(assets)")

        self.selectedAssets.removeAll()
        for asset in assets  {
            if !ids.contains(asset.localIdentifier) {
                ids.insert(asset.localIdentifier)
                self.selectedAssets.append(asset)
            }
        }
        self.convertingAssetToImage()

    }, completion: nil)
}

    func convertingAssetToImage() -> Void {
    var thumbnail = UIImage()
    if selectedAssets.count != 0 {

        for item in selectedAssets {
            let manager = PHImageManager.default()

            option.isSynchronous = true

            self.photoArray.append(thumbnail)
            self.photoDataArray.append(thumbnail.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.5))

        }

    }

1. What is your favorite makeup product?
Gold Deposit by MAC! I swear I can't live without it!
I know this sounds kind of cliche, but MAC is my favorite. I get excited when they release a new collection. I don't think anyone approaches selling products the way MAC does. The quality of their products are unbeatable, and I love how they appeal to almost any age group.
