Chevy wants the new crossovers to appeal to young people in China.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer and Chevy Tracker are still alive in some parts of the world, and new models wearing these old-school names make a global debut at the 2019 Auto Shanghai show. "Chevrolet has pivoted to a more youthful, fashionable, sporty and technological position, as its all-new products demonstrate," Scott Lawson, general director of Chevrolet for SAIC-GM, said about the look of the newly unveiled crossovers.
The new Trailblazer (above) has a design that cribs elements from last year's FNR-CarryAll concept. The similarities are most notable at the front where there are skinny headlights and large lamps in the front fascia. At the side, the vehicle has a prominent crease that runs through the doors and points downward towards the fenders at the back. This one rides on 17-inch black wheels with a red accent on them.
The Tracker (above) is Chevy's new entry-level crossover in China, and the company wants the model to appeal to young buyers. Its two-tiered grille has a similar aesthetic as the Trailblazer, but the big lamps are absent from the front fascia. Instead, all of the illumination is in the headlights. The model features a heavily sculpted hood and lightly creased profile to create some visual interest in the look. The one on display at the show has the Redline package with a black grille, matching badges, and 17-inch wheels with red accents.
Chevy doesn't offer details about when these crossovers debut in the Chinese market or how much they cost there. It's a safe bet that they aren't coming to the United States, though.


Ultra bohemian and breezy, this duster can be worn partially unbuttoned to show off your bump.
It also suites non-pregnant ladies.
Colour available: 'Baby Baby' blue and White.
Sizing inconsistency: The size of the duster is a little inconsistent, the white one is labeled as 'XL', but it runs very small so fits an Australian size 10 - 16; Whereas the 'Baby Baby' blue one is labeled as 'M', however, it is a really large make so we think it should fit an Australian size 12 - 18.


[T]he evidence of our Lord's life, and death, and resurrection, is of the same sort as that which we rest on in human matters. Whoever has heard the summing up of a judge on any great trial, will be able to understand what I mean; the jury have heard a great many witnesses; some of them have perhaps contradicted others, some have stated things very improbable; in a long cause, if the jury are unaccustomed to what are called the laws or rules of evidence, they may be utterly puzzled what to believe. But it is their business to pass a judgment in the matter, and therefore they must make up their minds one way or the other. In order to do this they are glad to listen to the summing up of the judge. He goes clearly through all the mass of evidence which seemed so contradictory and perplexing; he gives them reasons why such a witness is to be believed rather than another; how he had better means of knowing the truth, and less temptation to depart from it; how his evidence is in itself consistent when examined carefully, and has a look of truth about it; and so he shows the jury that they have very good grounds for making up their minds, and for giving their verdict. Now in this same way, the evidence of our Lord's life and death and resurrection, may be, and often has been shown to be, satisfactory; it is good according to the common rules for distinguishing good evidence from bad. Thousands and ten thousands of persons have gone through it piece by piece, as carefully as ever judge summed up on a most important cause: I have myself done it many times over, not to persuade others, but to satisfy myself. I have been used for many years to study the history of other times, and to examine and weigh the evidence of those who have written about them; and I know of no one fact in the history of mankind, which is proved by better and fuller evidence of every sort to the understanding of a fair inquirer, than the great sign which God has given us, that Christ died and rose again from the dead.
Thomas Arnold, Christian Life, Its Hopes, Its Fears, and Its Close, 6th ed. (London: T. Fellowes, 1859), pp. 14-16.
Historians, of course, have no difficulty whatsoever speaking about the belief in Jesus' resurrection, since this is a matter of public record. For it is a historical fact that some of Jesus' followers came to believe that he had been raised from the dead soon after his execution." This early belief in the resurrection is the historical origination of Christianity.
In other words, a radical sceptic like Ehrman admits that it is a historical fact that the disciples believed in Jesus' resurrection. What everyone must do, then, is account for that fact. The Christian says that the only plausible explanation is the bodily resurrection of Jesus.
Wright asks how the disciples could have recovered from the shattering experience of Jesus' death and regrouped afterwards, testifying that they had seen the risen Jesus, while being quite willing to face persecution because of this belief. What was the nature of the experience that dictated these developments?
quoted by Habermas, ibid., N.T. Wright, Jesus and the Victory of God (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1996), 109-111.
N.T. Wright does an extensive survey of the non-Jewish thought of the first century Mediterranean world, both east and west, and reveals that the universal view of the people of that time was that a bodily resurrection was impossible. Why? In Greco-Roman thinking, the soul or spirit was good and the physical and material world was weak, corrupt and defiling. To them the physical was always falling apart and therefore salvation was conceived as liberation from the body. In this worldview resurrection was not only impossible, but totally undesirable. No soul, having gotten free from its body, would ever want it back. Even those who believed in reincarnation understood that the return to embodied life meant that that soul was not yet out of its prison. The goal was to get free of the body forever. Once your soul is free of its body, a return to re-embodied life was outlandish, unthinkable and impossible.
The first accounts of the empty tomb and the eyewitnesses are not found in the gospels, but in the letters of Paul, which every historian agrees were written just fifteen to twenty years after the death of Jesus. One of the most interesting texts is 1 Corinthians 15:3-6…Here Paul not only speaks of the empty tomb and resurrection on the "third day" (showing he is talking of a historical event, not a symbol of metaphor) but he also lists the eyewitnesses.
This is to show that the resurrection narratives were not added to the later Gospels – the resurrection story goes back to the earliest traditions.
If there had been only an empty tomb and no sightings, no one would have concluded it was a resurrection. They would have assumed that the body had been stolen. Yet if there had been only eyewitness sightings of Jesus and no empty tomb, no one would have concluded it was a resurrection, because people's accounts of seeing departed loved ones happen all the time. Only if the two factors were both true would anyone have concluded that Jesus was raised from the dead.
The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, both Biblical and non-Biblical, factual and circumstantial, historical and experiential, is so convincing and so complete that no intelligent jury in the world could fail to bring in the verdict that Jesus rose from the dead, just as the Scriptures state and as Christians claim.
However, a biased jury would give the verdict that suited itself. Therefore the evidence alone is not decisive in any person's verdict regarding the claims of Christ.
It appears to me that we shall never know with any certainty whether the resurrection of Jesus was a bodily event; or consisted in visions (technically hallucinations, perhaps auditory as well as visual) of Jesus; or in an intense sense of his unseen personal presence. But we do know the effects of the event and we know that whatver happened was such as to produce these effects.
But (see last post) an halluination is not 'to die for'. Also, are we to believe that the appearances (for there were reported to be many, at different times, to different people in different places) were all, joint, communal hallucinations? Was the Great Commission, given post-resurrection, merely an hallucination or vision? What is the meaning of the Ascension if it does not presuppose the bodily resurrections? Hick proposal creates far more anomalies and problems than it pretends to solve or explain.
…the resurrection is the turning point in the existence of the Son of God. Before that he was the Son of God in weakness and lowliness, through the resurrection he becomes the Son of God in power.


Toronto is filled with amazing restaurants and dishes that make all our mouths water, but one of the underdogs in the Toronto food scene is Dupont avenue. Dupont avenue's restaurants may be over-shadowed by the literal shadow of Casa Loma, or perhaps the buzz of all the Toronto restaurants downtown being featured all the time, but they bring a unique splash of flavour to our city that is fair competition to the rest of the top dishes the city has to offer.
Healthy food doesn't have to taste bad - Aviv restaurant brings exciting Mediterranean flavours to Toronto with explosive tasty healthy food! Slow cooked reas el hanout and cardamom, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, carrots, sweet potato, turnip, zucchini, eggplants and chickpeas all served with preserved onions, pomegranate and cashews... mmmmmm.
Nothing is better on a weekend than a burger and a beer - The Pour House takes it to the next level with elk, Korean BBQ glazed bacon, onion rings, cheddar cheese, sriracha aioli, lettuce, tomato and shoestring pickles.
The term "Moules + Frites" here means having delicious mussels served with perfect fries as an appetizer with a loved one, then experiencing duck confit served with mixed mushroom risotto and bok choy. This romantic and small restaurant will leave your tastebuds tingling until you make your next reservation!
Dupont is home to not one, but two of the best Mexican restaurants in Toronto. Playa Cabana is operated by the same owners as Hacienda, but the menus and mood of the restaurant is different enough to visit both often. Check out this Toluca Burrito with Mexican chorizo with a sunny side up egg, served with a side of Ceviche Del Dia.


The Good The attractive Lexmark Prevail Pro705 bundles a useful set of features for the office crowd, including wireless connectivity, an autodocument feeder and duplexer, speed text out, and an impressive five-year warranty.
The Bad We don't expect an office-friendly printer to output studio-quality snapshots, but our graphics test document was not without quality flaws.
The Bottom Line The Prevail Pro705 is Lexmark's all-purpose office machine and we recommend it for home offices or small workgroups; just don't expect it to print out high-quality graphics or high-resolution photos.
Unlike the consumer-oriented Platinum Pro905, the Lexmark Prevail Pro705 is designed for office use with a button-based control panel, an autodocument feeder (ADF), and other features to encourage smooth business work flow. At $200, the affordable and speedy Pro705 will be a helpful office assistant, but we hesitate to recommend it if you're printing a lot of photos.
The Prevail Pro705's gray-black color palette is typical for an office printer, but its smooth edges and rounded paper input tray shave off the sharp corners and make the device look more streamlined than the traditional rectangular office printer. It measures 9.8 inches tall, 18.3 inches wide, and 15.4 inches deep so it's easy for anyone to move and reposition around the office.
Physically, the front of the device is much more involved than the simple touch screen on the Platinum Pro905. Instead of a big touch-screen LCD, the Pro705 opts for a small 2.4-inch color LCD display with a cluster of shortcut feature buttons surrounding it on all four sides, as well as a directional pad for scrolling through menus and a number pad for dialing numbers on the fax side.
All the new printers from Lexmark include an "Eco Mode" button marked with a green leaf on the right side that triggers two-sided printing, copying, and faxing using the duplexer on the back. Lexmark also reduces your ecological footprint with Energy Star certification, and the company even includes an XL-capacity black cartridge in the box--to our knowledge, Lexmark is the only printer vendor to provide this service. In fact, most of them ship printers with a starter cartridge that contains less ink than the refills you'll need to buy in the future.
The paper tray sits on the bottom and gives the Pro705 a unique advantage over the competition. Instead of having just a simple tray like so many others before it, the printer has a silo drawer built into the base that adds more heft and durability to the 150-sheet container. Coupled with a 10,000-page duty cycle, a 150-sheet stack should be enough for a small business.
The printer also has a small media card reader for direct prints, as well as an open PictBridge-compatible USB port that you can use to load photos for printing off a USB flash drive.
You can connect the Pro705 to a host computer using an 802.11n wireless setup or with a hardwired USB port. With the included driver disc, we were able to set up the printer to communicate using both technologies in less than 10 minutes; just make sure you have your network log-in and password available.
The printer is one of many to feature Lexmark's newest Vizix individual ink cartridges: one with black pigment for printing text and three dye-based yellow, cyan, and magenta cartridges for color photos. Using the XL-capacity cartridges, which offer a better overall value for the page yield, we calculate the price of black ink as 5 cents per page and color ink as 3 cents per page. Both rates are about average for a small-office printer, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 costs less per page and significantly less over time if you print a high volume of pages. HP's printer can also handle 5,000 more prints per month than the Lexmark, with its 15,000-page duty cycle.
The Pro 705 ships with minimal paperwork to conserve paper, and you can find most of the instructions, warranty information, and promotional offers on the CD included in the box. Along with the drivers that support Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X, the CD also automatically installs several Lexmark productivity programs on your computer.

Suggestions for Improving the Drafting Module
By setz, April 20, 2019 in form•Z Suggestions
setz 567
First off I should say that while I have tried many times to use V8 for Drafting I repeatedly return to V6 to generate my construction documents. I am very biased towards the older version. I understand that I am a lot more familiar with it, so of course it would be a lot faster and easier for me to use. Over the years I have made many attempts to switch and have found too many impediments to be able to be able to produce drawings in the way in which I want them to look. While V8 has some great new features and more of an automated feeling, it all comes at an unacceptable expense in flexibility.
I think that the older version had a superior foundation. It would be great to begin with that foundation and then to include the beneficial features from V8. There are some serious issues and bugs in V6 Drafting which needed correcting. My suggestions will include pointing out both the problems and the benefits unique to V6 and V8. If anyone has ideas of how to combine the two versions where issues conflict, they would be very welcomed. Please feel free to add to the list as I too will be doing so in the coming days/weeks.
1. V6 had a Draft / Draft Layout workflow format which was a lot more flexible than the Page / Frame format in V8. While I appreciate the automatic updating of the Frames to reflect the state of the current model, I was losing a lot of time in going back and forth between the 3D and the 2D world and having to wait long periods of time for all the many frames in my drawings to update. I got into the practice of "freezing" the Hidden Line renders to break the file linking but this felt tedious and counterproductive in V8's workflow. In addition, I miss having an "offscreen" area [Draft] in which I could organize and hold variations etc. off to the side and which was hidden from view in the Frames [Draft Layout] on the final printed sheet, but which was still easily accessible and editable by switching to the Draft Mode. That being said, having a pages palette added on top of the old system would be a great addition.
2. I like the way that frames were not limited to rectangular shapes in V6, but could be polygonal, like the shape of an "L" or "T" for example. It enabled you to nest details around each other and gave you a lot more flexibility in organizing information on a page. Round and oval Frames would be helpful options for detail insert bubbles.
3. V6 had bugs in Repositioning dimensions which often caused them to fly off the screen when adjusted. V8 has no Reposition Tool which is dearly needed to quickly and efficiently edit either single dimensions or whole strings of dimensions which have been pre-selected.
4. I prefer the (Horizontal/Vertical and Dimension Parallel) Dimension Tools with a double click to signify the completion of a string of dimensions rather than using a separate tool to create Multi-Dimensions.
5. I miss being able to quickly select and move the associated/unassociated points of dimensions without having to show them first as in V8. These were invisible until selected in V6 which worked well.
6. Reintroduce the Colors Palette and the Color Tool in Drafting. Only being able to adjust Line / Hatch colors via Attributes is a limitation in comparison to V6.

7. Improved memory capacity for drawings with lots of imported images. Addition of transparency for images.
8. Option to automatically import both a scaled vector Hidden Line drawing and an internally generated Full Shaded image, cropped and aligned with the Hidden Line in one step. Ability to edit generated images in external image software and have the image update upon save, as is now possible in the Modeler with Texture Maps In Materials.
I'm including a simple sample sheet which shows how I typically set up drawings. Here is a link to the V6 file: https://we.tl/t-eNLZQwxCPQ

Summer Reds
Defy tradition and replace those summer whites with a light-bodied red.
May 2013 Kristine Hansen
Convention suggests one ought to uncork only crisp white wines between Memorial Day and Labor Day, in part to cope with humid outdoor temperatures.
Yet a savvy wine drinker knows this does not always hold true. It's completely possible, and in fact decadent, to sip a red wine with summer salads, grilled foods, seafood, and highly anticipated in-season ingredients like tomatoes and asparagus.
Some of the best summer food-wine pairings debunk the summer-whites trend. For example, consider a glass of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France, with a Margherita pizza where the wine's subtle herbaceous quality matches the chopped basil and sliced tomatoes. Or a French Rosé sipped with a Salade Niçoise, a pairing I enjoyed immensely at a new hotel (Beach House) on Providenciales, Turks & Caicos.
The key is to look for a red wine light in body and low in tannins, as well as soft and fruit-forward, and with very little oak on the palate.
French wines are rich with possibility. "Gamay is a favorite of a lot of sommeliers for summer reds," says Jason Wagner, sommelier and wine director at Henri and The Gage in Chicago. "Loire Valley reds are underrated. Beaujolais is a great introduction for a lot of people. It's kind of a 'gateway drug' to the reds."
Haley Guild-Moore, wine director at The Stock and Bones Company (Town Hall, Anchor & Hope, Salt House, Irving St. Kitchen, and Corners Tavern), completely agrees, especially if grilled meats—a summertime staple—are involved. "Cru Beaujolais and grilled pork are always a delicious pairing," she says. She also turns to Bugey Cerdon, a sparkling Rosé from Eastern France as a meat match: "It's awesome with charcuterie and cured meats. It's really floral and aromatic."
Rosé Rules the Summer
Crisp, chilled Rosé is a natural choice to suggest to diners who aren't heavy red-wine drinkers. "Rosé is a big summer wine and what's nice about it is that it's refreshing but also structured like a red wine with a long finish," says Josh Cafasso, sommelier at Penrose Room, a restaurant at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. "I still think the U.S. market doesn't understand how great Rosé is." He prefers Rosés from the South of France, such as Provence, and enjoys sipping them alongside Salade Niçoise.
Susan Lueker, winemaker at SIMI Winery in Sonoma County, California, loves to drink Rosé—along with Pinot Noir—with Salade Niçoise during the warmer months too. Also, she notes, "We do a pizza here at the winery's café that has feta cheese and strawberries and it goes well with Rosé. The little bit of fruit helps pop the flavor."
Wagner plans to extend Henri's Rosé offerings come summer, particularly as a tie-in to the restaurant opening its patio for the season. At another Chicago restaurant, The Boarding House, owned by Alpana Singh—one of only 18 female master sommeliers— Rosés will rule this summer, she says, particularly since red wines have dominated the wine list since the restaurant opened in December. The wine list, which features 500 selections, is heavy on classic wine regions in Italy, Spain, and France. Because many diners seek out The Boarding House for a celebratory occasion, they instinctively turn to red wines. Singh hopes to steer them into Rosé or even lightly chilled red wines. "I have Rosé on the menu all year long, from a pale blush to a deep cranberry color," explains Singh.
"Don't forget to chill your red wines in the summer: That's the best advice I can offer," says Singh. During the summer months, Dolcetto and Barbera—two Italian red-wine grape varietals—when slightly chilled "have an edge."
Chill Selectively, Pair Creatively
Indeed, many red wines do well in summer when slightly chilled. But you need to know a little bit about the wine because not all reds—particularly those heavy on oak or made from heavy-bodied red-wine grapes—need it. "You don't want to chill down a little of Opus One," says Wagner. Curious about what red wines to chill? "Any kind of red wine that has less tannins in it, like Gamay or Beaujolais, Pinot Noir for sure, and Italian reds too," says Singh.
A slight departure from Rosé, but with a similar flavor profile, is Schiava, which is an Italian red-wine grape varietal. "I tend to think of reds that are light and aromatic, particularly Schiava, almost Rosé-like in weight and style," says Guild-Moore.
Quite a few Italian red wines are appropriate for summer drinking. "Frappato, primarily from Sicily, Italy, is going to be the big wine for the summer," predicts Singh. This light-bodied grape is less common in the United States but quickly becoming a favorite for its fresh and fruity appeal that's similar to Beaujolais.
"Frappato, from Sicily, is a quintessential summertime red that's high in acid with no tannins," says Wagner. "It does really great with a slight chill on it." Wagner likes to pair a glass of Sangiovese, from Tuscany, Italy, with an heirloom-tomato dish. Moore also turns to Italian wines when choosing what to sip with tomatoes. "Tomatoes can be kind of fun, depending on how they are prepared," she says. Her favorite tomato pairing is Schiava.
While fish may be the assumed entrée choice come summer, meats can work just as well too, particularly if the preparation is tweaked. "It's a time of year when we're moving away from the braised dishes to the grill," Singh says. "Whenever I think of summer I think of Mediterranean foods, like roasted eggplant, peppers, goat cheese, sardines, or octopus, anything to remind you of Greece. She also enjoys putting lighter sandwiches, and cheese or charcuterie boards, on the menu to contend with hot summer nights.
"I like to break that traditional pairing of white wine with fish and red wine with meat," says Cafasso. "There are some instances where a Pinot Noir goes well with fish with a heavy sauce, especially Burgundy Pinot Noir." (At Penrose Room he pairs Pinot Noir with a fish featuring an olive-based sauce.) He uses this rule when picking out a red wine to drink with meat when it's hot outside. The leaner the beef, the lighter the red I'll do," he says, often opting for Argentine Malbec (especially with barbecue sauce, "to complement that smoky tanginess") or Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. "A little bit of that fat component (in the meat) will balance out with the size of the wine."
However, he rarely suggests a Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon between Memorial Day and Labor Day simply because Bordeaux, France, wineries rely upon old-oak barrels. New-oak barrels, as used in New World wine regions, result in less oak on the palate.
"Grilled chicken with a lighter Pinot Noir is amazing, so you get a little lightly smoked flavor," says Lueker, who noticed during a recent trip to Cuba that all red wines in that country are, for the most part, served slightly chilled. "If you're having grilled fish, Pinot Noir is your answer."
Grilled foods during the summer present a short window of time to pair heavy-bodied red wines with these smoky, full-bodied meats. But you have to be choosy or the pairing will be a disaster. (In other words, keep the light-bodied reds with foods light on flavor and save big-bodied reds for bold cuisine).
"When I think of summer, I think of barbecue. To me, that speaks to Zinfandel or a higher-oaked, spicy Pinot Noir that's a bit lighter," says Lueker.
For restaurant owners and wine directors alike, calling out pairing possibilities to diners intent on the belief that red wine is rarely drunk during the summer is a true challenge. "We definitely do a lot in the way of staff training," says Moore. "We don't call out pairings on the wine list, however. It's that art of suggested selling where you're offering your guests a chance to make a choice."
One tactic Cafasso often uses when serving a couple—especially when one orders a fish entrée and the other a steak—is to offer Barolo, an Italian red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes.
Encouraging diners to shy away from the convention that white wine is drunk during the summer and rarely is red wine even considered can definitely pay off. Not only does this subtle coaxing help move the red wines in your cellar, it is also an opportunity to flaunt wine expertise—something diners already expect from full-service restaurants.

Q: How to write reduce function with memo of arbitrary type I am trying to write a simple histogram program that takes a stream of unknown (very large) length, integers only, and bins them up. My problem doesn't relate to binning so we can assume that the integers can be in range (0, 1000] and the histogram bins are of size 1 (each possible number gets its own bin).
Normally I would do this with reduce and its variants in whatever programming language, and I write something like that in Julia (using an array in place of the actual file-based iterator i am using as input):
function ct_a(arr, i)
       arr[i] += 1
end

reduce(ct_a, [100, 140, 471, 900, 999], init=zeros(1000))

Now i've tried variants such as changing the order of arguments and so on but get a variety of seeming type or signature related issues:
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching reduce(::typeof(ct_b), ::Array{Int64,1}, ::Array{Int64,1})
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching reduce(::typeof(ct_a), ::Array{Int64,1}, ::Array{Int64,1})
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching setindex!(::Int64, ::Int64, ::Int64)

This seems like it should work because AFAIK there is no formal reason why the output of a reduce operation needs to resemble the type of the individual elements being iterated over. Every example I can find online however about the use of reduce in julia supposes that the memo (output) is of like type (i.e., the op operator being passed in is of type F: T,T -> T.) This seems like an arbitrary restriction and unlikely to be the case, but i can't figure out how to do this differently.
I have been able to circumvent this issue somehow by using a function like F: T,T->null and storing the memo globally:
memo=zeros(1000)

function ct_x(_, i)
        memo[i] += 1
end

reduce(ct_x, [1,2,3,100,200,900], init="whatever")

Is there an intended way to express reduce functions of this nature?

A: You need your reduction function to return the modified array, not the modified element value. Try this:
function ct_a(arr, i)
    arr[i] += 1
    arr
end

julia> reduce(ct_a, [2, 3, 4], init=zeros(Int, 5))
5-element Array{Int64,1}:

Muslims "Tried to Kill Me" - British Apostate Tells Tommy Robinson
Posted by Rebel Staff on September 26, 2017
CCTV footage shows the many times that Nissar Hussain, a British former Muslim from Birmingham, was targeted by the Muslim community. He was attacked with pick axe handles because he left Islam. Fireworks and bricks were thrown at his house, and he told me that his children "know nothing but persecution" from his so-called own kind.
We have covered the brutality of Pakistani Muslims in our videos about Balochistan, but this is far closer to home. In this interview, Nissar told me about the brutal violence and persecution he has faced for 16 years by the Pakistani and Muslim communities. In Britain!
He also explained how his Member of Parliament Naz Shah, the same woman who retweeted a post telling the Rotherham victims to "shut up" for the sake of diversity, ignored his requests for assistance. I was amazed to learn that multiple Bishops and even Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, have shunned him.
I felt ashamed of my own country when I heard how badly Nissar had been let down, and I hope everyone shares this video far and wide. Nissar's story needs to be heard. He deserves justice, and we must do everything we can to stop the thousands of British Muslims who want to leave Islam from living in fear. It's not right.

Short bowel syndrome is a group of problems. They happen to people who have had a large part of their small intestine removed.
The small intestine is a long, curving organ. It connects your stomach to your large intestine (colon). Digestion starts in your stomach. But most digestion takes place in the small intestine. The small intestine also absorbs nutrients. Bowel refers to the small intestine and large intestine together.
You can have problems when half or more of your small intestine is taken out. You may not be able to absorb enough water, vitamins, and other nutrients. This can cause major nutritional problems and symptoms.
This can include a higher risk for short bowel syndrome. The more of the small intestine that has been removed, the greater the chance for severe problems.
Different parts of the small intestine absorb different nutrients. If you have a latter part of the small intestine taken out, you can have nutritional problems. This is because the first part of the small intestine cannot absorb all nutrients. Having the valve between the small and large intestine also makes a big difference in your health. Some people with short bowel syndrome have also had part of their large intestine taken out. This leads to more problems.
Who is at risk for short bowel syndrome?
Having conditions that need to be treated by taking out part of your small intestine raises your risk for this issue. These can include Crohn's disease.
What are the symptoms of short bowel syndrome?
How is short bowel syndrome diagnosed?
If you have had a large part of your small intestine removed, your healthcare provider will look for short bowel syndrome. If you have a history of surgery and symptoms of short bowel syndrome, you are likely to have the condition.
Basic blood tests. These can check for infection, anemia, and electrolytes.
Stool tests. These can tell if you are absorbing enough fat.
X-ray or CT scan of your abdomen. This is done to look for complications.
Endoscopy. This test is done to look at your esophagus, stomach, and early duodenum.
Colonoscopy. This test is done to look at your colon.
How is short bowel syndrome treated?
Treatment depends on how severe the condition is. It also depends on how long it's been since you had your small intestine removed.
After surgery, your remaining intestine slowly adapts. Over time, it is able to absorb nutrients better. This process can take a year or two. This varies depending on how much and what part of your small intestine was taken out.
You will likely have parenteral feedings after your surgery. This means that you won't eat anything. Instead, you will get nutrients through a tube placed in your vein.
As you recover, your healthcare provider may slowly start enteral feedings. This gives liquid nutrition directly to your stomach or small intestine through a feeding tube. Over time, your healthcare provider will try to increase your enteral feedings and decrease your parenteral feedings.
Your healthcare provider may eventually move you to oral feedings. You will need to eat small meals often. You will also need to avoid foods that are high in simple carbohydrates, such as juices.
Some people with severe short bowel syndrome will need long-term parenteral nutrition. This can sometimes cause problems. If this happens, you may need a small intestine transplantation. Or your healthcare provider may suggest a non-transplantation surgery. This can improve how you absorb nutrients.
H2 blockers. These are medicines to decrease stomach secretions.
Electrolyte solutions. You may take these by mouth (orally) or through an IV (intravenous line).
Medicines to prevent liver damage. These are given to people on parenteral nutrition.
What are possible complications of short bowel syndrome?
This condition can cause serious issues. Your healthcare provider will watch you for complications. He or she will also try to treat any problems early on.
If problems aren't treated well, you can have diarrhea. This can cause dehydration, weight loss, and malnutrition. It may even lead to death.
Liver disease. This can happen from long-term use of parenteral nutrition. In rare cases, this may lead to a liver transplant.
You may need to have your gallbladder removed.
Bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. This can make your symptoms of short bowel syndrome worse.
Nutrient deficiencies. Specific problems depend on which nutrients are low. For instance, some people show early bone loss. This is because of poor absorption of calcium and other nutrients.
Kidney stones. This is caused by extra oxalate in your urine.
Follow your healthcare provider's orders about diet and medicines. Doing so will reduce your risk for problems.
Call your healthcare provider if you have severe diarrhea. You may need to go to the hospital to get IV fluids to rehydrate. You should also call your healthcare provider if you have any new symptoms. These can include confusion or bad stomach pain.
The main symptom of short bowel syndrome is diarrhea.
After surgery, you will get your nutrients through a vein. This is called parenteral nutrition. Then, you will likely get liquid nutrition directly to your stomach or small intestine through a feeding tube. This is called enteral nutrition. Over time, you may be able to eat normally.
Some people with severe short bowel syndrome need parenteral nutrition long-term.
Short bowel syndrome can cause problems. These are more likely in people who need long-term parenteral nutrition. You may need a small intestine transplant.

ZIGGURATS
flyraventhepoet	Social/political	 June 5, 2021 June 5, 2021 3 Minutes
This is a follow-up to my Tower of Babel posts, condensed from Michael Heiser's book, THE UNSEEN REALM on and around pages 113-115… My intention of retelling this comes from realizing that this is so important, that I think no one should miss it, this study is critical to understanding these last days. Further, it is critical to understanding what happened back in those ancient days in Mesopotamia. Text is laced with comments by me. Dig deep.
Condensed account: ( Please read previous posts, on Tower Of Babel, before proceeding here, or you will be lost.
Deuteronomy Worldview: What happened to the other nations, what does it mean that they were apportioned as an inheritance according to the number of the sons of God?
As weird as it sounds, The rest of the nations were placed under the authority of members of Yahweh's divine council. The other nations were assigned to lesser elohim as a judgment from the Most High, Yahweh.
We learn that this interpretation is sound and made clear by an explicit parallel passage in Deuteronomy 4:19-20. there Moses says to the israelites:19 – And do this so that you do not lift your eyes toward heaven and observe the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be led astray and bow down to them, and serve them, things that Yahweh your God has allotted to all of the peoples under all of the heaven. But Yahweh has taken you and brought you out from the furnace of iron, from Egypt, to be a people of inheritance to him, as it is this day. Friends do you see the importance of this? Draw the conclusions that you will. Having said that be very careful because to me it gives an explanation of what is going on in the unseen realm. It accounts for all the evil, destruction, and death of this world. There has been and is a cosmic battle taking place, with us or without us being aware.
About Ziggurats: Ziggurats were divine abodes, places where Mesopotamians believed heaven and earth intersected. The nature of this structure makes evident the purpose in building it — to bring the divine down-to-earth.
The biblical writer wastes no time in linking this act to the earlier divine transgression of Genesis 6:1-4. That passage sought to portray the giant quasi-divine Babylonian culture heroes (the apkallus ) who survived the flood as "men of renown" or more literally "make a name shem" for themselves. The building of the tower of Babel perpetuating Babylonian religious knowledge and substituting the rule of Babylonian religious knowledge for the rule of Yahweh. Yahweh would have none of it. After the flood, God had commanded humanity once again to be "fruitful and multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 9:1). These words reiterated the original Edenic intention. But instead of obeying and having Yahweh be their God, the people gather to build their tower. The theological messaging of the story is clear. Humanity had shunned Yahweh and his plan to restore Eden through them, so he would shun them and start again.
While the decision was harsh the other nations are not completely forsaken. Yahweh disinherited the nations and in the very next chapter of Genesis, he calls Abram out of Mesopotamia. This is not accidental. Yahweh would take a man from the heart of the rebellion and make a new nation, Israel. But in his covenant with Abram, God said that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through Abram, through his descendants Genesis 12: 1-3.
Skipping ahead … The Israelites would serve as a conduit for their return to the true God. This is one of the reasons Israel is later called a "Kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6) Israel would be in covenant with the "God of gods" and the "Lord of lords" Deuteronomy 10:17. Those disinherited would be in spiritual bondage to the corrupt sons of God. But Israel would be a conduit, a mediator. Yahweh would leave a spiritual bread crumb trail back to himself. That path would wind through Israel and, ultimately, Israel's messiah.
Finally, from the faithful decision at Babel onward, the story of the Old Testament is about Israel versus the disinherited nations, and Yahweh versus the corrupt, rebel elohim of those nations. The division of the nations and their allotment under other elohim is behind the scenes in all sorts of places in biblical history. I hope we are gaining insight and perspective on the problem of evil in the world.
At this point, I hope readers are moved to go and get Michael Heiser's book, The Unseen Realm, I am praising and thanking the Holy Spirit for His work through Michael Heiser and inspiring me to pass this revelation knowledge to others. Cleetus A. Mundingus

Due to the economic collapse in the wake of the breakdown of the Soviet Union, the civil war in the 1990s and the renaissance of traditional values, domestic violence (DV) has emerged as a widespread phenomenon in Tajikistan; figures indicated that the majority of Tajik women stated that they had ever experienced DV. DV is largely accepted by Tajik society, and there is an in-sufficient awareness among the population that DV constitutes a human rights violation. Hence, the fight against DV in Tajikistan is marked by an ineffective policy and institutional framework, insufficient service provision for victims of DV and a widespread acceptance of DV among policy makers, community leaders and the general population.
The project provided support to the development of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence (LPDV), which came into force in March 2013. The full implementation of the Law will take time and effort, e.g. by improving coordination among the prosecution, investigation and court systems. The current project phase supports the commentary on the law as well as its implementation.
The overall goal of the PDV project is to reduce the level of domestic violence (DV) in Tajikistan and to increase the public awareness of DV as a violation of human rights and criminal offence.
Outcome C.1: The policy and institutional framework and environment for the fight against domestic violence at the national and local level in the project areas are improved.
Modes of delivery: To attain this overall goal, the project applies a multidimensional approach. The urgent needs of victims of DV are addressed through improved psychosocial, medical and legal service provision at crisis centres. Awareness campaigns are designed to leverage increased awareness and behaviour change. The project operates at different levels of intervention (policy/macro level and implementation/micro level).
Awareness raising programmes (called behaviour change communication=BCC) through mass media campaigns (print media, radio, TV, billboards, posters, flyers) and community action (mobile theatre, religious leaders).
GOPA maintains a Project Management Unit (PMU) with offices in the capital city of Dushanbe and in the provincial town of Kurgan-Tyube in Tajikistan's southern Khatlon region. The PMU staff act as technical advisors to the project partners, administered the disbursement of funds and monitored how they were put to use by the grantees and implemented awareness raising campaigns.


Leadership Tennessee, the state's preeminent leadership organization, will lead "Vote Tennessee," a statewide effort to increase voter registration and education.
"Vote Tennessee" began as Project Register, a nonpartisan initiative launched in 2017 by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tennessee) and State Sen. Steve Dickerson (R-Nashville) to boost voter registration in Middle Tennessee.
Committed to collaborative, nonpartisan dialogue, Leadership Tennessee is a natural fit to take this project across all three Grand Divisions as Tennessee ranks 45th in the country in voter registration and 49th in voter turnout.
Vote Tennessee works with businesses, nonprofits, neighborhoods, higher education institutions and other organizations to encourage voter registration. More than 838,000 Tennesseans are not registered to vote. More information on Vote Tennessee can be found at www.votetennessee.org.
"In the November 2018 election that saw a double digit increase in voter participation, statewide, Davidson County saw an 82 percent increase. While Project Register can't take full credit, focusing on registering voters at a systemic level in Middle Tennessee can make a significant difference in engagement, making our democracy healthier and more vibrant," Dickerson said.
In September 2017, Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett unveiled GoVoteTN, the Tennessee online voter registration system after the Tennessee General Assembly approved online voter registration in 2016.
Leadership Tennessee, an initiative of the College of Leadership and Public Service at Lipscomb University, is an organization committed to collaborative, non-partisan dialogue on issues of statewide importance by crossing over geographic and professional boundaries and connecting a diverse network of problem solvers and engaged citizens. A new class of 40 leaders is selected annually to take part in a leadership study course while visiting different areas of Tennessee, learning best practices and analyzing important issues faced by Tennesseans. To date, 250 leaders have gone through the program.

Q: What's wrong in this python code? def vector(sample_list):
    for item in sample_list:
        sums = 0
        square = item**2
        sums = square + sums

    magnitude = sums**0.5
    return magnitude

print(vector([2,3,-4]))

Why this code doesn't give the correct magnitude?
It gives the last value of the vector in function call.

A: change sums=0 position
def vector(sample_list):
    sums = 0
    for item in sample_list:
        square = item**2
        sums = square + sums
    magnitude = sums**0.5
    return magnitude


Would are some apps for Cydia-free?
What are some good free apps for Cydia-free, as in themes, music radio stations, and so on minus games?
Am I posting in the right section, or should this be moved to jailbreaking? I am requesting free apps. I have the iPhone 4 a Verizon customer.
When I say free music radio stations I meant as of 80s, and 90s. I know the app store has them. I don't know about Cydia.
For themes you need Winterboard. Music stations, well as you said the App Store has them already.
Thank you. I know this isn't the jailbreaking section. Maybe you could help me instead of PM.
I got WinterBoard with a tethered jailbreak. It did a reboot. I was thinking it could on to my home screen. I was reading that the Apple logo will be stuck for ages unless you take the phone, and put it into recovery mode, and then do a restore. Here are my questions below.
1. Every time you do a reboot of a tethered jailbreak, would you get stuck at the Apple logo?
2. If you answer yes, to #1, what's the purpose of tethered?
3. I did not save my SHSH blobs, nor I know what they are. Could I downgrade from 4.2.10 back to 4.2.8? Are there any easy tutorials for version 4.2.8 as for downgrading?
Every time you reboot a tethered jailbroken iDevice you need a computer to boot the device i.e Redsn0w's Tethered boot feature.
So, what you're saying is that I can't power on my device if it reboots as a tethered jailbreak where I would get locked down at the Apple logo? If you're not saying that, then why did I get stuck at the logo?
What feature do you for jailbreaking? Do you use Redsnow, or could you tell me what you use?
If you use a jailbreak which is "tethered" - every time the device reboots, turns off, runs out of battery etc etc you will need to use a computer with relevant tools to boot the phone back to a working jailbroken state.
I don't use tethered jailbreaks on iPhones only on the iPad, my phone is too important for it to be rendered useless if I don't have a computer to hand.
Could you answer some more questions for me?
1. Do you use jailbreakme for untethered?
2. How can I get back my 4.2.8? I tried the tethered, but I don't like it because I'm putting my phone at risk, and I'm getting sick of hooking my back to the computer. Are there anyway possible to downgrade without having the blobs saved?
2. If you haven't saved any previous SHSH's then it's impossible to downgrade. You will only be able to restore to the latest firmware. To restore, connect to iTunes click on your device in the left hand column and get click Restore.
And if I might be so bold as to add on to John's #2 comment above: there currently isn't an untethered JB for 4.3.5 yet (current firmware) and probably won't be another untethered until the next major firmware update in a month or so.
More along the lines of where the exploit lies. For example a kernel exploit is able to jailbreak and untether a phone where as the bootrom would not be able to as it depends on where the exploit is in the boot process and what systems are accessible at the time.
I also think it's not as simple as how good the hacker is. There are a lot of things to consider such as, even though an untether is available, is it worth burning an exploit on a small firmware update? The answer is usually no. They save them for big firmware updates. Sometimes, the boot portion of the jailbreak is a userland exploit (geohot and i0n1c discovered the recent ones), meaning Apple could patch it with a firmware update. Other times, the untether is a bootrom exploit and Apple can't patch it without updating hardware, so an untethered jailbreaks can be more easily be implemented (this was why the jailbreaks on the early model 3GS' were always untethered).
I actually was reading up on that on the iPhonewiki last week. I made it a goal to learn a langauge so I can code and eventually attempt hacking the iPhone but have not decided what to learn. I am down to starting with Python or going with assembler to find a new boot rom exploit.

The crowd says to Jesus, "If you want us to believe in you, you had better show us some credentials. For example, Moses gave bread to the Israelites in the desert. Can you do that?" Jesus answers that God, not Moses, gave the bread in the desert, and that God still offers a bread that will give eternal life. "We'll take it," says the crowd.
Jesus is our bread of life. He nourishes us and cares for us and sees to it that we are never really hungry. But we have to accept what He offers us.

Sweeter-than-sugar vanity toppers and a personalized hostess gift for this holiday season!
Spotted: At Staples in Southington, Posh Puzzle Books in the flesh.
PUZZLE ME THIS... There's no question about it, we love the Pocket Posh Puzzle books from The Puzzle Society and Andrews McMeel. The Pocket Posh books come full of soduku, crosswords, word or logic puzzles and their label-less patterned covers appeal to the design lover in all of us. They look ever so chic when pulled out in the public eye but who knew for under $10 each, we could achieve beauty and brains too. Find in-store at Staples or order online.
SWEET TOOTH... Little girls might naturally be sugar and spice and everything nice, but that doesn't mean we can't sweeten the deal. Pottery Barn Teen seems to see where we're coming from with their Sweet Treat Storage Holders ($19-$29.) Warning: the full set of stacking cupcakes and stash-ready pink donuts and cake slices are so adorable, they may cause tooth decay.

Closer Look: The fight for better composting
Haeon Yoon
Composting at the College is not as easy as placing Vegware and leftover food in the appropriate bins; rather, it is a complex process that is at the heart of the College's and town's larger debates over sustainability.
Composting at the College is currently centered around the efforts of dining services, which sends leftover food and other organic matter to TAM Waste Management to be composted. Because the College mixes food waste and Vegware products in the same compost bin, the compost is used as filler for streets in construction projects. It cannot be sold to gardeners or farmers as organic compost because the Vegware in the College's compost is not fully organic.
In addition to composting food waste in the dining halls, leafy waste and wood chips from tree maintenance are picked up by the College's grounds team to be composted at local farms and landscaping companies. There are also two composting toilets at the '66 Environmental Center, although recent construction additions have not included these water-saving alternatives.
This fall, in an effort to reduce waste, the College eliminated single-use plastic water bottles from all catered campus events. In a campus-wide announcement, Provost Dukes Love stated that instead of providing plastic water bottles, dining services and the catering office have opted to supply 3- and 5-gallon reusable jugs. In circumstances where students might need to-go bottles of water, the College will instead be providing water encased in aseptic cartons in another step to reduce plastic usage. This shift is predicted to reduce the number of plastic water bottles used by 18,000.
"There's still a recognition that these bottles are single-use items and are not ideal, so hopefully people will still use regular water bottles and reusable glasses, and for wider events the College offers compostable PLA cups," Interim Director of the Zilkha Center Mike Evans said. "The wraparound solution is to make sure that there is composting happening everywhere, and that the compost makes it to the TAM's outdoor industrial composting system."
This movement away from the use of plastic at the College was preceded by a town-wide ban of single-use plastics and polystyrene (Styrofoam) that took effect in May 2015. As a result of this ban, establishments in Williamstown now provide paper bags, compostable bioplastics and corn-based PLA cutlery as an alternative to plastic bags and utensils.
Recent changes made by dining services and facilities also include composting buddies, a program in which volunteer students encourage others to compost, as well as signs by the clearing stations that explain whether different substances are compostable. Nevertheless, there are many instances in which the trash is not separated correctly, causing trash and compost to be intermixed. "Any bag that gets co-mingled with items that are not compostable will be thrown into regular trash which is problematic and defeating the purpose," Executive Chef Mark Thompson explained.
In an op-ed published in the Record, Niku Darafshi '21 argued that the changes made have not been sufficient. "While the ban is quick to lay out the punishments for not complying, it fails to establish a biodegradation plan," she wrote, highlighting a lack of composting bins for vegware at prominent town locations ("The failures of Williamstown's plastic ban: On the negative environmental impacts of using Vegware," Oct. 9, 2019).
Bio-plastics, which Williamstown stores including Tunnel City Coffee provide as compostable alternatives for plastic straws, cream cheese tubs and to-go cups, can only be broken down in industrial composting facilities. Local businesses, however, are not required by the town to provide separate bins for compostable goods. "It's a very superficial endeavor that in turn affects how the town treats its waste," Darafshi said in a separate interview with the Record.
The Williamstown CO2 lowering committee, which promotes sustainable living in the town, has been pushing for a town composting initiative for businesses. Evans, who is a member of the committee, said that composting "has gotten some traction in businesses, some were already doing that, and Spring Street Market has already been sending their waste to a pig farm, but it didn't gain as much traction as we had hoped. That would be something to come back to."
Some students have also raised concerns over the fact that the majority of the College's initiatives are primarily focused on composting instead of waste reduction. Marco Vallejos '20, student leader of the Williams Recovery of All Perishable Surplus (WRAPS), a registered student organization that packages and delivers leftover dining hall food into individual meals for community partners in North Adams, emphasized the important steps to be taken before food gets composted in dining halls.
"There's an upside-down triangle which is how we think about food waste," Vallejos explained. "Basically the first level is humans – you want to feed humans before you feed animals, before you make energy, before you compost, and before it goes into landfills. The idea is that if you hit all those marks, you will have nothing going into the landfill. So composting is good, but we'd rather take edible food and distribute it to others before it gets composted."
Speaking on the utilization of single-use products, Darafshi similarly stressed how composting only offers half of a solution. "It all comes down to the fact that we keep using these single-use products. This is like a Band-Aid over an issue that is more than just 'let's replace it all with compostable products,'" she said. "This isn't a big campus, it's not like people are going between colleges, it's not hard to keep using reusable things … but instead we use single-use products, and that's the core of the issue."
Evans noted that one of the strategic planning working group discussions has focused on waste and recycling, in an attempt to find a holistic composting solution beyond food consumption.
"In some ways that are starting to be piloted, we are in the process of signing an agreement with an organization that's going to do a full campus waste assessment, and can do some planning with us and help us figure out our waste diversion strategies," Evans said. "We are hoping that holistic campus waste assessment will help push the conversation about having more holistic solutions around composting on campus."
"I also hope that that assessment can help facilitate productive conversations with the town about how we can work together on this initiative. Because the bins that are on Spring Street are the town's, and not the College's and we should be thinking about holistic solutions because we are very intertwined," he added.
Students have also raised concerns over a lack of stewardship in the College community. "There's no reason why WRAPS or collecting the compost can't be something every single student could do one day a year," Darafshi said. "There isn't this push to make students uncomfortable. I think people are doing a lot of the learning in an academic setting, when we can radically change that in ways that aren't just in class."
Vallejos similarly felt students could be more involved. "Don't try to conceptualize it or make it academic so you lose sight of what it means to be a steward, or to make it so fun that you lose sight of what it means," he said. "If we really want to appreciate the environment we live in, the whole point of Mountain Day, we should be telling people to bring their own mug when they hike up Stony Ledge."
"In the 3R's, 'reduce, reuse, recycle,' recycle is the last one, but we have focused so much on the recycling aspect of it," Vallejos added.
"Caring about the environment is limiting our footprint, not just about hiking and eating doughnuts," Darafshi said.

Congratulations, Harris and Svetlana!
Posted by Sandy Heierbacher | March 30th, 2009
NCDD member Harris Sussman, of Somerville, Massachusetts, recently won an award with his wife Svetlana. Harris and Svetlana won the Bay State Council of the Blind Outstanding Service Award "in recognition of their determination and dedication to providing materials and opportunities for people who are blind in Russia through their establishment of the M.N. Adamov Memorial Fund and their personal commitment to independence for people who are blind." Congratulations, you two!
Bay State Council of the Blind Outstanding Service Award presented to Svetlana Sussman & Harris Sussman "In recognition of their determination and dedication to providing materials and opportunities for people who are blind in Russia through their establishment of the M.N. Adamov Memorial Fund and their personal commitment to independence for people who are blind." Natick, Massachusetts March 28, 2009
Svetlana:
Though I grew up with a blind father, I discovered I knew very little about the ways that one can help and support the blind. This project has been a journey of learning and discovery supported by encounters with many generous people and organizations which have been inspirational and who have given moral support and helped us on our way—the list is long but I don't want to turn this into one of those award shows…
Harris:
I'm really impressed that you are giving us an award for several reasons. For one thing, we are not wealthy or people of means by any means. Thank goodness Svetlana has a full-time day job because I don't. Second, we have been trying to assist blind people for only a little less than four years. Third, we do not represent an elaborate bureaucratic organization–it's pretty much the two of us, working off the top of our ping pong table. And then of course there's the fact that the blind people we are trying to help are in another country, at least 8 time zones away, who speak another language, in a difficult and unhelpful political and legal system, with official hostility toward international assistance, and the usual cultural prejudice toward people who are considered invalids.
This is personal for us. Svetlana's father was blind. At first we thought we would find many groups working on behalf of blind people in Russia and we could pitch in a little. We didn't find anyone else. Orbis International, the Seva Foundation, Helen Keller International, the World Jewish Council, Lighthouse International, Unite for Sight, Ashoka, Lions Clubs, Sight Savers International—they all have programs and activity in many countries around the world, but not in Russia. There's a big blank space on the map. Much to our surprise, it looks like we're it.
In the beginning, Svetlana thought we might help 1 or 2 people as a tribute to her father. So far, we have directly assisted about 300 people and indirectly a few hundred more. We have met many of them. We have been able to do some small and simple things which have made a difference in their lives, thanks to financial contributions from several dozen people who have given donations to the MN Adamov Memorial Fund.
We were in St. Petersburg, Russia last month. (We didn't go in 2008 because we couldn't afford the airfare.) A blind staff member of a rehabilitation center mentioned that she had been asking the director for two years for reflective safety vests for walking with their clients out around the city. I thought, I'm sure we could help with that. That night we looked up stores that sell work clothes on the computer, phoned one the next morning, went on the subway an hour each way, ordered three bright orange vests with reflective silver stripes for $7 each, then went back to pick them up two days later and took them to the woman at the rehabilitation center, an hour each way. "It's a miracle," she said.
We would like to see Russia move from Third World to World Class in disability and medical rights, services, and resources, in equal access and opportunity, and in conferring independence and dignity on people who are blind. But that's not happening yet. Guess what? Social services from the All-Russia Association of the Blind are being cut back and some of their jobs are being eliminated.
With the assistance of a few other travelers from Boston, we have hand-carried 35 used computers and more than 175 folding white canes. We don't ship things, we've never paid a bribe, nothing has been confiscated or lost or stolen. We don't promise more than we can do, and we do what we can. People have learned they can ask us for things that are not available in Russia or that are too expensive for them to buy. We support blind students to finish their studies and give them digital voice recorders to record class lectures. We support highly-skilled teachers of blind children who are paid less than $100 a month and cannot buy developmental toys or classroom supplies, miniature exercise equipment and musical instruments. We support a small core group of older blind people who knew Svetlana's father who are in formal and informal leadership roles helping other blind people, though we are concerned about the next generation of political appointees when our friends retire. We have put people in touch with each other, within the city and between Russia and America. We arranged for six undergraduates from Duke University to do volunteer work with a center for the blind last summer. Svetlana coached the director about dealing with teenage American volunteers. More Duke students are going this summer.
We want to influence an improvement in guide dog training—the dogs are not trained to go on escalators, which is the only way to get to the subway. We want to provide one thousand more white canes this year. Blind people have to submit to numerous approvals and reviews to get a cane, which can take a year or more; the canes are all the same length no matter how tall or short you are, and they keep bending and breaking. We want to facilitate some O&M training of trainers—we have not found a single trained mobility instructor in St. Petersburg, where 11,000 people are registered to use the local library for the blind. But I've never met someone from St. Petersburg who can recall ever seeing a blind person in public. So my fantasy is to have 11,000 people using graphite reflective folding white canes going down the sidewalks of the main boulevard, so nobody can say they've never seen a blind person. Or as one person told Svetlana last week, it seems sighted people in Russia are more blind than the blind. Thank you so much for this kind recognition.

Squeezer brings microservices technology to the blockchain. This move fixes the scaling issues and adjusts the stack to fit within the blockchain flexibility. Squeezer is building "connectors" which make the blockchain friendlier to developers and provides instant access to the blockchain's data assets. Imagine that you want to save a list with employee descriptions to the blockchain and retrieve the data when required. In the current technology ecosystem it is a basic implementation that is easy to achieve however storing and retrieving data from a blockchain is different from a typical database and requires a lot of extra steps to achieve the desired result. They will help developers do this quicker and without extra effort so that they can focus more on actual business processes.
CONS: Project is in early development, "connectors" will be developed post ICO (May 2018), product will not be brought to market for another year at minimum, low softcap ($300k) with high hardcap ($77mm), could lead to misuse of funds.

Nevis accounts for almost 50% The federation's murder toll has increased slightly this year compared to 2012 with Nevis accounting for an unprecedented 47.6% of the 21 murders. As at December 30 th , there were 11 murders on St. Kitts compared to 15 in 2012, and 10 on Nevis compared to 3 for the comparative period. Most of the murders were as a result of gun violence, although there were four stabbing deaths and one case of strangulation. The year dawned on a disheartening note when on January 1 st 22-year-old Alex Thompson of Bath Village was shot dead at Pinneys Beach- no arrests have been made. The very next day (Jan. 2) 22-year-old Jelani Williams, originally from Sandy Point, was fatally stabbed during an altercation near the bus/ferry terminal on the Bay Road; no one has been arrested. After a brief lull the violence began again with the shooting death of Rudolph "Rudy"Browne, also known as "Smokey", of Rawlins Pasture. The shooting took place in River Path, Gingerland, on January 26 while Browne was working at a construction site; no arrests have been made. On January 27 Jacqueline Gumbs of Parray Village, St. Peters stabbed to death boyfriend Lindsay "Smokey"Williams at their home. March saw two murders- 24-year-old Darren DuPorte of Godwin Estate, was shot and killed in Half Way Tree (Mar 3) and Miguel "Miggy""Nino"Byron, 32, was shot dead in Cayon on March 26. No arrests have been made in either case. The nation enjoyed less than 9 weeks without a murder, only to be hit with four in one week On May 14 Kishmoy Challenger, 29, of Pond Hill was gunned down shortly after at work at the Seaside Villas at Cliffdwellers, Nevis- no one has been charged. Four days later (May 18) 30-year-old Jermaine Dore of Hermitage, Cayon was gunned down while playing dominos outside a shop in Hogland, Lower Cayon. 24-year-old Krami "Imark"O'Loughlin"also of Hermitage, Cayon has been charged for his for murder. On May 20, Chazere Davis, an 18-year-old Sixth Form student, was found strangled to death in her family's Taylor's Pasture home. Reportedly her boyfriend, Jerome Kelvin Williams, 52, also of Taylors Pasture, killed the teen and then attempted to commit suicide. He was later charged with her murder. Nevis lost another young person on May 21when 21-year-old Jamal Isles of Fountain Village was shot to death inside his family home by two gunmen who, according to unconfirmed reports, knocked on the door in the predawn hours claiming to be police. No arrest has been made. June was a disastrous month with 6 recorded murders. On June 2, Sheldon "Sword"Cannonier, 30, of Newtown, was shot multiple times as he left a church service in Lime Kiln around noon. About a week later police arrested and charged Sylvester Crossley and Vance Thomas of McKnight and Shane Amory of New Road for the crime and a warrant is in existence for Kimo Flemming of Trafalgar Village. Fountain resident Denrick "Bluff"Hanley, 23, was found lying at the side of the road with a gunshot to the head in Mount Lily, Nevis on June 11. On June 19 Clement "Noomba""Hump"Greene, of Stone Fort Heights was gunned down in his shop after 1pm. Chesel Glasgow was subsequently charged with his murder. Adrian Springette alias "Mac 1", 23, of Cedar Trees, Grove Village was shot dead around 2am at Grove Park, Nevis on June 22. No arrest has been made. Later that same day (June 22) in St. Kitts the body of William Daniel alias "Mundo", 57, of Verchilds was found at a roadside in his village. He had been stabbed to death; police subsequently made an arrest in the incident. On June 30 Tonio "Dollar"Hutton, 23, of Bath Village, Nevis was found shot to death inside his home. Dustin Lapsey, 29, of Bath Village charged for the crime on July 8. On Sunday, July 7, 19-year-old Collin Merchant of Upper Monkey Hill was stabbed to death at a bar on the Frigate Bay Strip. 29-year-old Alston "Chocolate"Francis, originally from Newtown but who resides at Taylor's Housing and New Road Housing Project was charged for his murder. Devon Browne, 19, of Brighton Estate, Cayon was on August 12 gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Upper Cayon. Police issued a person of interest wanted bulletin for a 25-year-old Cayon resident. The individual turned himself in to police 3 days later but was subsequently released without charge. On September 22, Tayan "Mackabee"Wilkin, 30 was shot dead while in a vehicle with others traveling along Cattle Long Path. No arrest has been made. Royden Peets Jr., 24, was shot twice outside his New Road Housing Project home on October 18. He succumbed to his wounds on November 1. Although police have yet to deem the death of Randolph Butler, 65, a murder, sources indicate the man was killed when gunfire erupted at his home in Hitchman's Village, Nevis on the morning of Friday, December 27. In addition to the recorded homicides there are two contentious cases still without resolution. The body of Trevor Douglas, 34, originally from St. Pauls but who lived at Shear Lane, Basseterre was discovered the morning of March 27. He had been shot to death. While unconfirmed reports point to the incident being a police shooting, the Police Force has not taken responsibility. They have not, however, labeled the man's death a murder. A most perplexing and disturbing case is that of 10-year-old Kadeem Pereira. The boy was set to a nearby shop in his village of Godwin Estate in the early evening of October 5. His body was discovered October 7 just a few dozen feet from the family home. Two autopsies proved inconclusive and cause of death still has not been determined. Police are hoping forensic testing will break the case.
