The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current condition of palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment and utilization and to propose alternative scenarios to improve the sustainability of palm oil industries. The research was conducted through field survey at some palm oil mills in Indonesia, in which different waste management systems were used. Laboratory experiment was also carried out using a 5 m3 pilot-scale wet anaerobic digester. Currently, POME is treated through anaerobic digestion without or with methane capture followed by utilization of treated POME as liquid fertilizer or further treatment (aerobic process) to fulfill the wastewater quality standard. A methane capturing system was estimated to successfully produce renewable energy of about 25.4–40.7 kWh/ton of fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by about 109.41–175.35 kgCO2e/tonFFB (CO2e: carbon dioxide equivalent). Utilization of treated POME as liquid fertilizer increased FFB production by about 13%. A palm oil mill with 45 ton FFB/hour capacity has potential to generate about 0.95–1.52 MW of electricity. Coupling the POME-based biogas digester and anaerobic co-composting of empty fruit bunches (EFBs) is capable of adding another 0.93 MW. The utilization of POME and EFB not only increases the added value of POME and EFB by producing renewable energy, compost, and liquid fertilizer, but also lowers environmental burden.

Portugal-Startups
Portuguese grocery delivery startup Bairro secures €1.2 million in funding only after 5 months in the market
The Portuguese startup Bairro, whose mission is to revolutionize the experience of buying supermarket products, ensuring their quality and speed of delivery, just raised €1.2 million in an investment round led by a group of international private investors with extensive experience in the retail and delivery sectors. The list of investors include Leonid Dovladbegyan, general director of online hypermarket Vprok.ru (X5 Retail Group), Dmitry Shklyar, lead investor and business angel, Alex Vasiliev, former director of JD.com and Cainiao, and Andrey Tsytsenko, former director of Delivery Club and Pandao.
With this capital increase, Bairro intends to continue to optimize the service, expand its area of operation in Portugal, first in Lisbon and then take the brand to the city of Oporto by the end of the year and, as soon as the operation is consolidated in both cities, start to carry out deliveries fast throughout the country.
Founded by 25 years old Artem Kokhan and Milana Dovzhenko, Bairro developed a mobile application that allows fast delivery of supermarket products, food and essential goods in the heart of the Portuguese capital, available between 10am to 12pm, ensuring that the user experience is always of high quality, regardless of the type of product desired or delivery time.
Milana Dovzhenko, founding partner of Bairro, stated: "It is indisputable that consumption habits are changing, mainly driven by the pandemic context. Shopping from home, more conveniently and quickly, is increasingly a reality for consumers and we considered that there was room in the market to create a service that would solve the problem of last-minute supermarket purchases, in an efficient way and without high costs. Bairro wants to be hand in hand with the Portuguese people at all times of their day, always guaranteeing the highest quality of products and just-in-time delivery, from that special ingredient that's missing for the dinner for two or the popcorn for that movie session with the family. Additionally, this service allows for less food waste, as there are fewer impulse purchases or products that end up never being used within their validity period."
Currently, the startup already has direct contracts with the most prominent suppliers, including PepsiCO, Unilever, Nestlé, among others, and in the next two years it plans to expand the range of food and consumer goods, as well as focus on pharmaceutical products.
"The impressive traction of the project, the current volume of the Portuguese food market, which represents an estimated value of 24 billion euros and the low competition in the the fast delivery segment in the region, were factors that led to the decision to invest in Bairro", commented business angel Dmitry Shklyar.
The startup was launched in December 2020 with an initial investment of €100K for the development of the mobile application and the opening of the first dark store, a supermarket warehouse closed to the customer in the city center. During the first three months, the startup was developing the MVP, Minimum Viable Product, and the first warehouse opened its doors at the end of March 2021. The business plan includes the expansion of Bairro to markets such as Spain and other neighboring countries.

René Block and Nico Anklam, photo by Kristine Madjare, courtesy RIBOCA3.
RIGA.- Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art announced the appointment of René Block as chief curator for the third edition, RIBOCA3, running from 15 July - 2 October 2022 in Riga, Latvia.
One of Germany's leading art world figures, Block has worked as an independent curator for over fifty years. His established career includes holding the positions of director of the Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel, and curator for numerous international biennials, including Belgrade October Salon (2006), Gwangju (2000), Istanbul (1995) and Sydney (1990). In 2008 he co-founded the Kunsthalle 44 Møen in Denmark and continues to operate as its artistic director. RIBOCA3 will be his most ambitious project of the last fifteen years. Block emphasizes the significance of the city of Riga where the biennial will take place:
I simply could not resist the call to Riga. The area around the Andrejsala exhibition venue is an invitation to turn the Biennial into an artistic workshop. A place where the ideas and experiences of many excellent artists from Latvia will share a space with many international guests. In harmony and respect: RIBOCA3 will create a feast for all senses.
Working alongside Block, Nico Anklam will act as associate curator for RIBOCA3. Anklam was recently appointed as director of the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen and Recklingausen's museums in Germany and has previously curated at Block's Kunsthal 44 Møen. Nico Anklam will also develop the public programme for RIBOCA3.
The third edition follows RIBOCA2, which was realized as both a physical exhibition and a feature film - premiering in Autumn 2021. The latter was produced as a direct response to, and product of, the global pandemic. RIBOCA3 expands on this global perspective; taking the rich history of the Baltic states as its foundation, it highlights artists from the wider region, whilst inviting international artists to engage with its cultural, historical and socio-political context.
The founder of the Riga Biennial Foundation Agniya Mirgorodskaya elaborates: We are thrilled to have René Block join us as chief curator of RIBOCA3. Having played such an integral role in the international art scene through recent generations, we eagerly anticipate the perspectives, insights and, perhaps most importantly, the artistic opportunities he will bring. Historically, René has made significant contributions to the exposure of art scenes and artists from Europe's Eastern regions, and so we are delighted that he will build upon this for RIBOCA3.
René Block started working as an independent curator after overseeing exhibitions at his own galleries Galerie René Block in Berlin (1964-1979) and René Block Gallery Ltd. in New York (1974-1977). During this period he worked closely with emerging artists of the time, including Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, KP Brehmer, KH Hödicke, Wolf Vostell, Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik.
In 1972 Block began work as a curator for the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, the Berliner Festwochen as well as the Academy of the Arts. From 1982 to 1992, he was in charge of the visual artists and composers at the Berlin Artist in Residence Program, where he organised a number of international projects, performance and music festivals, as well as exhibitions for the Daadgalerie. In the following years, up until 1995, he was responsible for the programming of the IFA (the Institute for Foreign Relations) Exhibition Service, representing German art in foreign countries. During this period he began a career-long venture as curator for a number of biennials, including: Hamburg 1985, Towards an Art of Peace Biennial; Sydney 1990, The Readymade Boomerang; Istanbul 1995, Orient/ation; Gwangju (Korea) 2000, Eurafrica; Cetinje (Montenegro) 2004, Love it or leave it (with Natasa Ilic); and Belgrade 2006, the October Salon's Art, Life & Confusion (with Barbara Heinrich).
From 1997 to 2006 Block tenured as the director of the Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel where he curated a number of notable exhibitions. Among them was the "Balkan Trilogy" series with the exhibition In den Schluchten des Balkan (2003) exhibiting 88 artists from twelve countries in the wider Balkan region, and a number of other satellite projects in the Balkans including the Biennial of Cetinje in 2004. During this time, he also instituted a new programme called the Kuratorenwerkstatt (curatorial workshop) Fridericianum which permitted five young curators to gain experience by working with him to develop their first major projects.
He concluded his work on major art projects by curating the Nordic Pavilion (Welfare- Fare Wel) at the 52th Biennale di Venezia (2007). In 2008 he established the artspace TANAS, which acted as a platform for Turkish artists in Berlin and ran until 2013. At the same time, he co-founded the Kunsthal 44 Møen in Denmark, where he continues to operate as its artistic director.
Nico Anklam was recently appointed as director of the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen in Germany, as well as head of the city of Recklinghausen's museums. As a writer, he has published widely on conceptual and Fluxus-related art practices, and has lectured at the Berlin University of the Arts, Humboldt University, Tromsø Academy of Contemporary Art in Norway and the Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn. Anklam holds a PhD that discusses the visual invention of the Northern landscape during the 1800s and has curated for René Block's Kunsthal 44 Møen in Denmark. He has realized further exhibition projects at institutions and spaces like the Rietveld Pavilion in Amsterdam, YEARS in Copenhagen and the Malmö Art Academy.

When the dialog opens I want to slide up and down animation. I mean the screen needs to open from 50% of the screen to -2% of the screen and needs to go to 0% (I mean android:toYDelta). So I think it basically goes upwards and move slightly down. My issue when I use only the following code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false" >

    <translate
        android:duration="250"
        android:fromYDelta="50%p"
        android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
        android:toYDelta="-2%p" />

</set>

Then screen slide up is fine and automatically moving down to its 0% position. So it makes little jerk. How can I handle this.

Q: Error Recovery in JavaCC for Qbasic language I am developing a compiler (with JavaCC) for QBasic language and I have an issue relate to Error Recovery (Error Recovery is showing all compiler errors when you compile the program)
so I had to handle ParseException and ignore the line where ParseException occurs
note : QBasic language has no semicolons so every statement has a separated line
I have tried to try catch the ParseException in every statement and handle it by using getNextToken repeatedly until I have "\n" token
unfortunately that does not work !!
Here is my program method :
void program():
{
  Node n =null;
  programNode ret = new programNode() ;
  boolean canrun=true;
}
{
     (< LINE > | < SPACE >)*
     (
        try {
           n = statement()(< SPACE >)* <LINE>
        }
        catch(ParseException e)
        {
            canrun=false;
            Excep.add(e);
            Token t;
            do
            {
                t=CodeParserTokenManager.getNextToken();
            }while (t.image!="\n");
        }
        (< LINE > | < SPACE >)*{
          if (n!=null)
            ret.addChild(n);
        })+ "?"
     {
       if (canrun)
          ret.Start();
     }
}

And here is my Parser class :
PARSER_BEGIN(CodeParser)

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class CodeParser
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
       CodeParser Parser = new CodeParser(System.in);
       try {
       program() ;
       }
       catch(ParseException e)
       {

       }
  }
}

PARSER_END(CodeParser)

A: I believe the problem is the line:
    }while (t.image!="\n");

because 1) you shouldn't use != with strings, 2) the image could be different ("\r\n" for instance).
Try t.kind!=LINE.

Appeals Court Reignites Triton Case ...

Appeals Court Reignites Triton Case Against FDA, Key to Flavored Vapes
by Alex Norcia January 20, 2023
On January 19, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that the cases of Triton and Vapetasia, two US-based vapor companies that filed petitions for review against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), be reheard en banc. The move negates a previous 2-1 decision that sided with the agency. The FDA had previously issued marketing denial orders (MDOs) to Triton, a manufacturer of a variety of vaping products, and Vapetasia, an e-liquid brand.
En banc rehearings, which require a stable of judges to weigh in on a case, are rare; in the Fifth Circuit, fewer than 1 percent of cases are reheard in this way. In the end, 16 judges voted on whether to rehear Triton and Vapetasia's case—meaning at least nine of them must have voted in favor.
The case is seen as central to tobacco harm reduction advocates' hope that flavored vapes—which most adults switching from cigarettes find preferable or even critical, but none of which the FDA has authorized—will remain available. Many urge, too, that the market not be restricted to just the handful of large companies that have so far received authorizations for tobacco-flavored products, and that open-system vapes—not at all popular with youth—be judged differently.
"We look forward to presenting our arguments on the extremely important issues."
The new hearing will likely occur this spring, according to people familiar with the matter.
"We are pleased that the full court granted the petition for rehearing en banc and look forward to presenting our arguments on the extremely important issues presented by Triton and Vapetasia's cases," Eric Heyer, Triton's lawyer, told Filter.
An FDA spokesperson told Filter that the agency "does not comment on possible, pending, or ongoing litigation."
Like all vapor companies, Triton and Vapetasia had to file premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) to the FDA by September 2020 and demonstrate, ultimately, that their products would be "appropriate for the protection of public health" (APPH)—that is, more likely to be used by adults to switch from smoking than to introduce a new generation to nicotine. In September 2021, the agency denied their applications.
Then, that October, just a month after Triton received its MDO and filed a petition for review with the Fifth Circuit, the court granted the manufacturer a full stay as the case went through the judicial process. The stay order included a scathing 20-page review of the FDA, in which a three-judge panel wrote that the agency "simply ignored Triton's [marketing] plan" and "pull[ed] a surprise switcheroo" in demanding long-term studies that companies did not anticipate.
By July 2022, following oral arguments, the court—somewhat surprisingly—denied Triton's petition for review. Of the three judges who heard the original case, Catharina Haynes and Gregg Costa sided with the FDA, while Edith Jones, the former chief judge of the Fifth Circuit who has served since the Reagan administration, dissented.
Triton's lawyer, Heyer, had put forth two arguments on the company's behalf: Firstly, that the FDA lacks the authority to require Triton show its flavored vaping products are more effective at promoting smoking cessation than its tobacco-flavored ones; and, secondly, that the FDA acted "arbitrarily" and "capriciously," failing to make clear that certain scientific studies were necessary and then rejecting the PMTAs on the basis that they were not included and overlooking other material. The latter argument has become common among vape manufacturers appealing agency denials.
With appeals courts essentially in disagreement, these cases "could begin to get some attention from the Supreme Court."
Other cases remain active in a number of appeals courts, though most of them have fallen in the FDA's favor; in August, however, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that six companies' PMTAs had to be reconsidered, concluding that the agency had failed to weigh their marketing plans—despite saying that was part of the assessment.
"The Fifth Circuit now breathes life back into the MDO challenges," Azim Chowdhury, a regulatory and public policy attorney who represents a number of vapor companies, told Filter.
At the heart of these legal battles have been the credible accusations that the FDA has not provided a level playing field—moving deadlines, shifting priorities and adding requirements after PMTAs had already been filed. Growing evidence has pointed to an agency constantly shifting course—as in leadership's overruling of agency scientists' recommendation to authorize Logic's menthol vaping products, which Filter recently reported.
Now, with appeals courts essentially in disagreement, these cases "could begin to get some attention from the Supreme Court," another industry lawyer, requesting anonymity so as not to affect their company's PMTAs, told Filter.

Nick Kyrgios in angry swipe at Aussie tennis great Pat Rafter: 'Clueless'
The tennis ace has hit back at the explosive remarks from the Aussie legend.

Nick Kyrgios has taken aim at suggestions from Australian tennis great Pat Rafter that his on-court antics with doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis have rubbed fellow players up the wrong way. Kyrgios and Kokkinakis - nicknamed the 'Special Ks' - took the tennis world by storm after winning the doubles title at last year's Australian Open.
Their brand of high-octane, in-your-face tennis proved a hit with fans at Melbourne Park, with the atmosphere at their matches resembling something more like a game of football. The Special Ks have thrived off the energy they create during their matches and always make a concerted effort to ramp up the support and the noise from fans in the stands.

WARNING: Nadal's message to Djokovic and Australian Open rivals
While many supporters love the unique theatre that the Aussie pair create during their matches, others have criticised them for going overboard with their remonstrations and on-court antics. Rafter claims the Special Ks have ruffled more than a few feathers with other players on tour after labelling their doubles act a "circus".
"It's an interesting one that is, because the players are really upset about it," Rafter said on the Australian Open: The Happy Slam podcast. "I don't know how that operates with them and doesn't really bother me either way.
"It's a bit of a circus... doubles is a great event, it's a lot of fun, and it helps you with singles, but it's not where it's at. But at the same time, it's entertainment."
Love them or hate them, there is no denying that the Special Ks put bums on seats, with their doubles matches invariably attracting packed stadiums - something not often associated with doubles matches. While Rafter accepts that the Aussie duo are undeniably entertaining, he questions the manner in which they go about their business.
"If they create drama, create ticket sales, and they create people watching, then good on them, but at what expense, I don't know. The players are really upset. Are you supposed to understand the underwritten rule that that's not how you behave when you do?" Rafter added.
Kyrgios hit back at the swipe from Rafter by labelling the Aussie tennis legend "clueless". The 27-year-old questioned how someone like Rafter would be able to give an accurate assessment of the inner workings of the locker rooms in tennis.
"He would have absolutely zero idea on what the locker room thinks. Me and kokk have great relationships with most of the players on tour. Guy is clueless," Kyrgios wrote on Twitter.
Nick Kyrgios-Novak Djokovic match raises eyebrows
Kyrgios has been in a bullish mood ahead of the Australian Open, and hit out at critics after tickets for Friday night's practice match against Novak Djokovic on Rod Laver Arena sold out in less than one hour. "Wow Nick Kyrgios is bad for the sport! Wow what a disgrace, a national embarrassment! How dare he sell out another stadium, the arrogance," Kyrgios tweeted in response.
The match between the Aussie and the 21-time grand slam winner is one of several practice matches being played on Rod Laver Arena before the Australian Open gets underway. Wednesday's match between Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev saw the Serb leave the court with an apparent hamstring issue after just 36 minutes, having lost the first set 6-4.
Aussie great Pat Cash has criticised Tennis Australia for organising Friday's exhibition match between Kyrgios and Djokovic, despite tickets priced at a modest $20 and proceeds going to the Australian Tennis Foundation.

Cash claims TA has "bent over backwards" to help Kyrgios prepare for the Australian Open and says no other grand slam would afford such an opportunity to its top-ranked player.
"What's quite extraordinary, it's actually hard to believe, Tennis Australia is putting on an event, on centre court, for Nick and Djokovic - I don't know, is Novak gonna play, has he pulled out of it?" Cash said on SEN's Sportsday.
"In what country, in what grand slam - would you have Wimbledon suddenly pulling out centre court or court 1 because Andy Murray needed a practice match? "It's hard to believe, they certainly wouldn't do it at the French Open. There's kids day and whatever and you go and play that. At the French Open it wouldn't happen.
"They've bent over backwards to help Nick to get some matches and to do this, I don't know."

Rural Maine Counties Lag State in COVID-19 Immunizations
Associated Press Published: June 2, 2021
Mario Tama/Getty Images
By PATRICK WHITTLE
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine has one of the highest rates of coronavirus vaccination in the country, but some of the rural counties in the state lag behind the more populated areas.
More than 52% of Maine's population has received a final dose of the vaccine. Like other New England states, Maine has paced the nation in getting the shots to residents.
The pace in Maine has been buoyed by a 63% mark in Cumberland County, which is the most populated county in the state and the location of its largest city, Portland. Several rural counties, however, are still below 50%, according to data from the office of Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat.
Somerset County has the lowest rate in the state at about 41%, the governor's office reported. Ten of Maine's 16 counties are below 50%. Those counties include Washington, Franklin and Piscataquis, the three least populated counties in the state.
Public health officials in Maine have used a mobile vaccine unit to help get the vaccine to rural areas. The unit is set to provide vaccines in Calais, in Washington County, through Thursday at the Thomas Dicenzo Athletic Complex.
"Drop-in vaccinations are also available at this location," the governor's office said on its website.

Tanzania moving backwards in terms of education - UNESCO
Getrude Mbago
THE government has been challenged to intensify its efforts to improve both literacy and numeracy among adults as new estimates show that 5.4 million Tanzanians currently cant read and write - a big fall from the glory days of the 1970s.
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) country representative to Tanzania, Zulmira Rodrigues, emphasized this yesterday at the first national consultative meeting on Sustainable Development Goal number four – to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
The meeting in Dar es Salaam aimed to prepare a roadmap on how to align the country's current education priorities to the new outcome targets outlined in the SDG goal, and find solutions to help build future generations of Tanzanians.
Rodrigues called on the government to incorporate education for sustainable development and add global citizenship education to the local education system.
"Education should therefore remain very crucial to the government of Tanzania, with absolute focus on development and promotion of education programmes that address issues at all levels of education," she said, adding that special focus should be placed on science, technology and mathematics.
According to the UNESCO country rep, literacy is part of the right to education, especially core basic education and self-reliance education for illiterate adults.
Speaking on the SDGs, she described them as an "important tool for pursuing focused and coherent action on sustainable development, specifically SDG 4 which focuses on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all.
" Teachers and educators are a fundamental part of guaranteed quality education and should be empowered, adequately recruited and remunerated, motivated, professionally qualified and supported within well-resourced, efficient effectively governed systems, Rodrigues said.
She commended Tanzanian government efforts so far in introducing free education at basic level, saying this is an important step as it will greatly assist children and parents from poorer segments of the population.
On his part, the deputy permanent secretary in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Dr Leonard Akwilapo, reiterated the government's commitment towards improving the education sector in response to SDG number 4.
Akwilapo called on local education stakeholders to fully engage in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of sectoral reforms for better and mutually beneficial results.
The deputy PS said he was shocked to hear of the number of illiterate adults currently in the country, and vowed that the ministry will intensify its efforts to promote self-reliance education especially for women and girls.

Peyton, Colts win sibling rivalry battle vs….

Peyton, Colts win sibling rivalry battle vs. Eli, Giants
Peyton Manning finished 20-of-26 for 255 yards and three touchdowns for a passer rating of 145.5
PUBLISHED: September 19, 2010 at 4:17 p.m. | UPDATED: May 5, 2016 at 12:26 a.m.
INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning showed some compassion for his little brother. It didn't help — the Indianapolis Colts pummeled Eli anyway.
Big brother Peyton dispensed with his usual encouragement for his defense to get after the opposing quarterback. No matter: Peyton proved he still rules America's first family of quarterbacks and the Colts dominated Eli's New York Giants 38-14 on Sunday night.
"No, I didn't," Peyton said of dropping his pregame pep talk. He didn't need to do all that much thanks to Indy's running backs, offensive line and defense.
"I really just kind of focused on the defense and on our running game," Peyton said after he threw for three touchdowns. "This was a different kind of game for me. The run really was the ticket tonight."
But the focus, naturally, was on Peyton vs. Eli.
One week after a distressingly lopsided loss at Houston, the Colts (1-1) looked like defending AFC champions. They made Eli and the Giants (1-1) resemble amateurs, forcing two quarterback fumbles that gave Indianapolis 14 points.
"We couldn't get into a rhythm," Eli said. "The whole first half, when you can't get first downs, it's hard as an offense to get into all your plays and your calls, and a lot of three-and-outs. They outplayed us, and that's what it came down to."
• New York running back Brandon Jacobs apologized for unintentionally throwing his helmet into the stands in the third quarter. He apparently tried to throw his helmet down, but instead, it flew into the stands. Security personnel had to retrieve the helmet from fans.


Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is the principle grape of the Medoc. It plays a supporting role in the blends of the right bank in regions such as St-Emillion and Pomerol. It also found a very successful home in California – particularly the Napa Valley – where it crafts the classic and cult wines of the region. However, Cabernet is a hearty grape, and has taken well to many regions: South America, Australia, South Africa, Washington State and Italy's Tuscan coast.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is a small berry with a thick skin and a high pip to pulp ratio. This in turn creates a wine high in color, tannin and extract. Typical Cabernet Sauvignon descriptors include blackberry, cassis, cedar and currant. Because the grape adapts to many different soils and climates, its characteristics truly reflect a sense of place. In Bordeaux you'll find the more earthy, tannic side of Cabernet, where it's typically blended to soften tannins and add complexity. In warmer regions like California and Australia, you'll frequently find ripe fruit flavors upfront. Cabernet Sauvignon crafts wines as a single varietal and as a blending partner, where it can add structure and tannins.

God Created the Universe and All Living Things
The theory of evolution, an outdated 19th century concept, has completely collapsed in the face of today's scientific facts. Darwinists have no scientific reply to offer in the face of the fossil record, which deals the most severe blow to the theory of evolution.
Darwinists cannot point to a single fossil suggesting that evolution ever took place, and resort to various means that they hope will camouflage this defeat they have suffered: Sometimes they attempt to portray fossils from various extinct species as intermediate forms, even though there is no truth to this whatsoever. Sometimes they seek to prove evolution—in their own eyes, at least—by pointing to counterfeit fossils. At other times, they try to deceive the public by way of completely imaginary illustrations. In doing all this, they also employ misleading headlines such as "Missing Link Found!" or "Our Ancestors Were Microbes" or "New Discovery Proves Evolution" in an effort to give the impression that the theory of evolution is unquestionable fact.
Archaeopteryx, used for years as the socalled evidence of the transition from reptile-to-bird fable, is an example of how evolutionists try to deceive people. It was claimed that Archaeopteryx, a 150-millionyear-old bird, has some reptilian features and thus is a "missing link" between reptiles and birds. However, all recent scientific findings show that Archaeopteryx was a flying bird, invalidate these claims. Furthermore, teropod dinosaurs—the socalled reptilian ancestors of birds—are far younger than Archaeopteryx. This is another fact that evolutionists try to ignore.
These methods may have been successful through the later 1800s and early 1900s, when science and technology were not as advanced as now. But in the 21st century, all the lies of evolutionists have been brought to light leaving Darwinists in a helpless position.
Today, even young children are becoming aware that there are no intermediate fossils pointing to evolution, that human beings are not descended from apes, that the highly developed and complex structures of living things cannot be accounted for in terms of the theory of evolution, and that Darwinism is the worst fraud in the history of science.
As revealed in the verse: "No indeed, it is one of their blatant lies to say" (Surat as-Saffat, 151), God tells us in the Qur'an that unbelievers turn their backs on faith by constantly coming up with falsehoods of one kind or another. Darwinists resort to various deceptions and make all kinds of unscientific claims in order to avoid having faith themselves and also to turn others away from religious moral values.
Indeed, it is emphasized in one verse: "And even though they [unbelievers] used to say..." (Surat as Saffat, 167) that those who have no faith constantly come up with excuses. Yet they will soon see and understand the truth. It is revealed in many verses that the time will come when unbelievers will realize and understand the truth. These verses tell us, in allusive terms, that Darwinists will also see the truth. Some of these verses read as follows:
But they have rejected it and they will soon know! (Surat as Saffat, 170)
Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let false hope divert them. They will soon know. (Surat al Hijr, 3)
Let them be ungrateful for what We have given them! Let them enjoy themselves—they will soon know! (Surat al-'Ankabut, 66)
We hope that Darwinists, too, will also abandon their illogical stubbornness and accept the facts that everyone can see so clearly. The truth revealed by science is that the theory of evolution is wrong, and that the universe and living things are the creation of God.
THEY DESCRIBED A PIG'S TOOTH AS A FOSSIL OF "NEBRASKA MAN"
In 1922, Henry Fairfield Osborn, the director of the American Museum of Natural History, declared that he had found a fossil molar tooth belonging to the Pliocene Period in Western Nebraska near Snake Brook. This tooth allegedly bore common characteristics of both man and ape. This fossil came to be called "Nebraska man." Nebraska man was also immediately given a "scientific name", Hesperopithecus haroldcooki. Based on this single tooth, reconstructions of the Nebraska man's head and body were drawn. Moreover, Nebraska man was even pictured along with his wife and children, as a whole family in a natural setting. In 1927, other parts of the skeleton were also found. According to these newly discovered pieces, the tooth belonged neither to a man nor to an ape. It was realized that it belonged to an extinct species of wild American pig called Prosthennops.
Fossils, some examples of which have been provided in this book, are all important proofs of God's creation. It is noted in several verses of the Qur'an that there is evidence above and beneath the ground that shows the fact of creation. For example, verse 137 of Surat as-Saffat states: And you pass over them.
In all likelihood, this verse is referring to the fossil record that lies below the ground and reveals the true history of life. There are countless fossil specimens beneath the ground all over the world that show that living things have stayed the same since the moment they first came into existence and have not changed over the course of hundreds of millions of years—in short, that they never underwent evolution. All these fossils show that living things came into being fully formed and flawless, with all their complex features—in other words, that they were created by God.
Our Almighty Lord has created all living things in the finest form. All entities are manifestations of the might and greatness of God. Faced by these manifestations, a person's duty is to employ his or her reason and conscience and reflect that the universe has been created with a definite wisdom, to be grateful to our Lord, God, and to serve Him in the best possible way.
God is the Creator of everything and He is Guardian over everything. The keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him. It is those who reject God's signs who are the losers. (Surat az Zumar, 62-63)
