The daughter of famed poet Lord Byron, Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace — better known as "Ada Lovelace" — showed her gift for mathematics at an early age. She translated an article on an invention by Charles Babbage, and added her own comments. Because she introduced many computer concepts, Lovelace is considered the first computer programmer. She died on November 27, 1852. Early Years Ada Lovelace, born as Augusta Ada Byron on December 10, 1815, was the only legitimate child of the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron. Lord Byron's marriage to Lovelace's mother, Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke Byron, was not a happy one. Lady Byron separated from her husband only weeks after their daughter was born. A few months later, Lord Byron left England, and Lovelace never saw her father again. He died in Greece when Ada was 8 years old.Lovelace had an unusual upbringing for an aristocratic girl in the mid-1800s. At her mother's insistence, tutors taught her mathematics and science. Such challenging subjects were not standard fare for women at the time, but her mother believed that engaging in rigorous studies would prevent Lovelace from developing her father's moody and unpredictable temperament. Lovelace was also forced to lie still for extended periods of time because her mother believed it would help her develop self-control. From early on, Lovelace showed a talent for numbers and language. She received instruction from William Frend, a social reformer; William King, the family's doctor; and Mary Somerville, a Scottish astronomer and mathematician. Somerville was one of the first women to be admitted into the Royal Astronomical Society.Babbage and the Analytical Engine Around the age of 17, Ada met Charles Babbage, a mathematician and inventor. The pair became friends, and the much older Babbage served as a mentor to Lovelace. Through Babbage, Lovelace began studying advanced mathematics with University of London professor Augustus de Morgan. Lovelace was fascinated by Babbage's ideas. Known as the father of the computer, he invented the difference engine, which was meant to perform mathematical calculations. Lovelace got a chance to look at the machine before it was finished, and was captivated by it. Babbage also created plans for another device known as the analytical engine, designed to handle more complex calculations. Lovelace was later asked to translate an article on Babbage's analytical engine that had been written by Italian engineer Luigi Federico Menabrea for a Swiss journal. She not only translated the original French text into English but also added her own thoughts and ideas on the machine. Her notes ended up being three times longer than the original article. Her work was published in 1843, in an English science journal. Lovelace used only the initials "A.A.L.," for Augusta Ada Lovelace, in the publication. In her notes, Lovelace described how codes could be created for the device to handle letters and symbols along with numbers. She also theorized a method for the engine to repeat a series of instructions, a process known as looping that computer programs use today. Lovelace also offered up other forward-thinking concepts in the article. For her work, Lovelace is often considered to be the first computer programmer. Lovelace's article attracted little attention when she was alive. In her later years, she tried to develop mathematical schemes for winning at gambling. Unfortunately, her schemes failed and put her in financial peril. Lovelace died from uterine cancer in London on November 27, 1852. She was buried next to her father, in the graveyard of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Hucknall, England. Personal Life In 1835, Lovelace married William King, who became the Earl of Lovelace three years later. She then took the title of Countess of Lovelace. They shared a love of horses and had three children together. From most accounts, he supported his wife's academic endeavors. Lovelace and her husband socialized with many of the interesting minds of the times, including scientist Michael Faraday and writer Charles Dickens. Lovelace's health suffered, however, after a bout of cholera in 1837. She had lingering problems with asthma and her digestive system. Doctors gave her painkillers, such as laudanum and opium, and her personality began to change. She reportedly experienced mood swings and hallucinations. Legacy Lovelace's contributions to the field of computer science were not discovered until the 1950s. Her notes were reintroduced to the world by B.V. Bowden, who republished them in Faster Than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines in 1953. Since then, Ada has received many posthumous honors for her work. In 1980, the U.S. Department of Defense named a newly developed computer language "Ada," after Lovelace. referance Author: Biography.com Editors Website Name: The Biography.com website Url: https://www.biography.com/scholars-educators/ada-lovelace Access Date: Publisher: A&E; Television Networks Last Updated: May 6, 2021 Original Published Date: April 2, 2014

The archaeological mystery of Stonehenge's long-lost megaliths

Stand at Stonehenge on midwinter day, 21 December, as the Sun is setting you can experience a striking event – provided the sky is clear. Position yourself between the tall, outlying Heel Stone and the stone circle, and look south-west through the megaliths. In the closing darkness they appear like a huge crumbling wall, orange light slanting through vertical fissures. In the last quick moments, the Sun disappears from a window formed by two great vertical stones and the horizontal lintel they support. It's dark and cold. Stonehenge, it feels, has swallowed the Sun. My archaeological colleagues and I are convinced that this alignment is no coincidence: it was designed by the monument's builders. But were you able to see this annual drama 4,500 years ago, the spectacle would be yet more impressive. The solstice sightline was marked by as many as six futher upright pairs. Of the greatest of these – the tallest and the most finely carved stones on the site – now just a single megalith known as Stone 56 is left. A projecting bulge on the top of this stone once fitted into a giant lintel. Now that tenon rises exposed and useless. And many more upright stones have gone. What happened to these missing stones? Who took them down and where did they go? How do we know they were once there? Can we picture what the completed Stonehenge looked like? Indeed, was it ever finished at all?These are questions that archaeologists like myself have asked for centuries. We can't answer any of them with certainty. But a long, active search has brought my colleagues and I closer. Through survey, excavation and geological studies have helped to clarify – sometimes in the most surprising ways – one of the big puzzles of Stonehenge: is that all there was? When we visit Stonehenge today, what we see is almost exactly how it looked when the first accurate plan was made in 1740 by John Wood, a leading architect of his time. The first realistic sketches date from the 16th Century, and while they skimp on detail, the impression remains that little has changed. But don't be fooled. Half the stones have been moved. That happened between 1901 and 1964, when the authorities were concerned that megaliths might fall on visitors. These were justifiable fears: several large stones had long been propped up with timbers, and lintels skewed threateningly. Many of the uprights were straightened and set in concrete, and a few known to have fallen in historic times were restored. The monument was deliberately secured to look as it had when recorded by John Wood, but archaeological excavations conducted alongside the engineering works revealed another, different Stonehenge. For the first time, there was proof that not all the stones were still there.Such a suspicion had first been raised in 1666 by John Aubrey, biographer and antiquary, who saw five "cavities in the ground" just inside the circular bank and ditch that surround the present stones at a distance. He thought the hollows were created by the removal of megaliths, suggesting there had once been an outer stone circle 85m (280ft) across that is now entirely missing. Excavation in that area in the 1920s revealed a perfect circle of 56 pits (assuming regular spacing through unexcavated areas) now known as the Aubrey Holes. Two further unexpected pit rings were found closer to the existing stones. At the time, it was concluded that none of these had held megaliths, though more recently some archaeologists have come to think that the Aubrey Holes are in fact all that remain of an expansive stone circle.Restoration and excavation resumed in the 1950s and 60s, when more buried holes were found, this time in amongst the present standing stones. Pits in two closely nested half-circles very likely held small megaliths, and other pits indicate that these stones were taken down and rearranged – with the addition of more stones – in a concentric oval and circle. These two were later adjusted to form the present arrangement of a circle and open-ended horseshoe, of which many stones have gone. In 1979 my own excavation discovered a pit beside the Heel Stone. On the bottom the chalk had been crushed by the weight of a large stone, which would have complemented the present megalith. It was an entirely unexpected find for a young archaeologist – made on the verge of the road as people were gathering for the then infamous Stonehenge pop festival – that has affected how I think about the site ever since: I never take anything for granted. With the Heel Stone, the missing stone would have created a pair either side of the solstice alignment – to frame, looking out to the north-east, the rising midsummer Sun.By then, it was clear that Stonehenge had a complex history spanning as much as a thousand years. Archaeologists knew that many stones were missing. How many was an open question. The earlier arrangements were poorly understood, and some archaeologists were suggesting that the stone circle itself had never been finished. Its south-west side had only one standing megalith, and there seemed to be insufficient fallen pieces to complete the ring. In one striking instance, a sarsen lintel looked like a sausage roll compared to its sharp-angled companions that had remained high out of reachThe plot thickened in 2009, when a previously unknown stone circle was discovered in an excavation a few minutes' walk away. Some 25 pits would have held megaliths the size of the small ones at Stonehenge. Every excavated pit was empty. At this point it helps to know more about what I've called the large and small stones. They are composed of different types of rock, which has affected what has gone and what remains. The big stones – the ones that box the setting midwinter Sun and create the famous Stonehenge silhouette – are formed of sarsen, a very hard relatively local sandstone. The small ones, known collectively as bluestones, are a mix of softer rocks, most brought to the site from south-west Wales. If the Aubrey Holes held megaliths, they were only big enough for bluestones – as were pits at the nearby missing circle, whose stones were probably moved to Stonehenge. Reports in earlier centuries tell of visitors knocking off bits of the stones to keep as souvenirs. Archaeologists assumed these stories were exaggerated, but in 2012 a laser survey of the megaliths revealed the extent of damage. Hardly a stone was spared by the hammers – it was said in the 19th Century you could hire them in nearby Amesbury. In one striking instance, a sarsen lintel that had fallen in 1797 and been re-erected in 1958 looked like a sausage roll compared to its sharp-angled companions that had remained high out of reach – due to the extent of the rock chiselled away. Between the circle and the Heel Stone, a large sarsen, known as the Slaughter Stone, lies on the ground, one end scored by hammer and chisel holes as if someone had been interrupted in the midst of stealing a part. Excavation in the 1920s found a large pit beside it. Had the stone once standing there been broken up and taken away? Or was it moved thousands of years ago to stand elsewhere on the site? Perhaps the sarsen circle is now incomplete on the south-west side because the stones there were broken up in recent centuries too. We may never know their fate, but in 2013 after a wet spring and early summer, custodians noticed marks in the now parched grass revealing pits for all the missing stones. It seems the original megaliths there were thinner and less regular, and thus easier to break – implying that was the "back" of the circle.Despite searching, no sarsen that was once part of Stonehenge has ever been found away from the monument. It's a different story with the bluestones. An infamous boulder known as the Boles Barrow Stone was given to Salisbury Museum in 1934 by the writer, Siegfried Sassoon, who spotted it in his garden after moving into a new home not far from Stonehenge. This, it was once argued, was proof that a glacier, not Neolithic people, brought all the bluestones to Salisbury Plain. Geology has never backed that case, and archaeologists now agree that the Boles Barrow Stone must have been taken from Stonehenge in the recent past. Excavation has shown that many bluestones, easier to break than the sarsens, survive as little more than stumps and scattered debris. There are hints from excavations that some of this damage occurred in Roman times, and perhaps even in the Bronze Age, not many centuries after the stones had been erected. One theory is that pieces were thought to have healing powers. In one case, however, we know exactly who took some chips, when and why. They unlocked one of the most remarkable discoveries ever made about Stonehenge. At the centre of the monument lies the Altar Stone. It is the only sandstone bluestone, at first thought to be of South Wales origin. However, intensive research by a British geological team led them to suggest it came from northern England or Scotland. They identified two chips from the stone in museums, one knocked off for examination in 1844, the other found during excavation in the 1920s. They sent samples from these chips to an Australian team, who were able to use cutting-edge technology to show, in 2024, the Altar Stone had come from the far north-east of Scotland. The most-travelled megalith at Stonehenge had finally been tracked to its source, after tiny pieces of it had been round the world and back again.

Google suggests fixes to its search monopoly

Alphabet's Google proposed new limits to revenue-sharing agreements with companies including Apple which make Google's search engine the default on their devices and browsers. The suggestions stem from the US search giant's ongoing antitrust battle over its online search business. In August, US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google illegally crushed its competition in search - a decision the company vowed to appeal. In a legal filing submitted Friday, Google said it should be allowed to continue entering into those contracts with other companies while widening the options it offers.These options include allowing different default search engines to be assigned to different platforms and browsing modes. Google's suggested remedies also call for the ability for partners to change their default search provider at least every 12 months. The proposals stand in stark contrast to the sweeping remedies suggested last month by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), which recommended that Judge Mehta force the firm to stop entering into revenue-sharing contracts. DOJ lawyers also demanded that Google sell Chrome, the world's most popular web browser. Google's search engine accounts for about 90% of all online searches globally, according to web traffic analysis platform Statcounter. In a statement, Google called DOJ's remedies "overbroad" and said even its own counterproposals, which were filed in response to a court-mandated deadline, would come at a cost to their partners. Judge Mehta is expected to issue a decision in the remedies phase of the landmark case by August, after a trial.

'It's pure beauty' - Italy's largest medieval mosaics restored
Catagory:News

Posted By:utopia online

On a hill overlooking the city of Palermo, in Sicily, sits a lesser-known gem of Italian art: the cathedral of Monreale. Built in the 12th century under Norman rule, it boasts Italy's largest Byzantine-style mosaics, second in the world only to those of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Now, this Unesco World Heritage site has undergone an extensive restoration to bring it back to its former glory. The Monreale mosaics were meant to impress, humble and inspire the visitor who walked down the central nave, following the fashion of Constantinople, the capital of the surviving Roman empire in the east. They span over 6,400 square meters and contain around 2.2kg of solid gold.The restoration lasted over a year, and in that time the cathedral was turned into a bit of a building site, with a maze of scaffolds set up on the altar and transept. Local experts from the Italian Ministry of Culture led a series of interventions, starting with the removal of a thick layer of dust that had accumulated on the mosaics over the years. Then they repaired some of the tiles that had lost their enamel and gold leaf, making them look like black spots from down below. Finally, they intervened in the areas where the tiles were peeling off the wall and secured them. Working on the mosaics was a challenge and a big responsibility, says Father Nicola Gaglio. He has been a priest here for 17 years and has followed the restoration closely, not unlike an apprehensive dad. "The team approached this work almost on their tiptoes," he tells me. "At times, there were some unforeseen issues and they had to pause the operations while they found a solution. "For example, when they got to the ceiling, they realised that in the past it had been covered with a layer of varnish that had turned yellowish. They had to peel it off, quite literally, like cling film."The mosaics were last partly restored in 1978 , but this time the intervention had a much wider scope and it included replacing the old lighting system. "There was a very old system. The light was low, the energy costs were through the roof and in no way it made justice to the beauty of the mosaics," says Matteo Cundari. He's the Country Manager of Zumtobel, the firm that was tasked with installing the new lights. "The main challenge was to make sure we'd highlight the mosaics and we'd create something that answers to the various needs of the cathedral," he adds. "We also wanted to create a completely reversible system, something that could be replaced in 10 or 15 years without damaging the building."This first tranche of works cost 1.1 million euros. A second one, focussing on the central nave, is being planned next. I ask Fr Gaglio what it was like to see the scaffolding finally come off and the mosaics shine in their new light. He laughs and shrugs. "When you see it, you're overwhelmed with awe and you can't really think of anything. It's pure beauty," he says. "It's a responsibility to be the keeper of such world heritage. This world needs beauty, because it reminds us of what's good in humanity, of what it means to be men and women."

Woman dies after being set on fire on NYC subway

A man has been arrested in New York in connection with the death of a woman who was set on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the incident on Sunday as "one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being". She said the woman was on a stationary F train to Brooklyn when she was approached by a man who used a lighter to ignite her clothing. The victim died at the scene, she said, adding that the suspect had been arrested following a tip-off from a group of high school students as he rode the subway later on Sunday.Police said the woman, who has not been named, was in a subway carriage at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn at about 07:30 local time (12:30 GMT) when a man approached her. There was no interaction before the attack, police said, adding that they did not believe the two people knew each other. The man got off the train as police officers on patrol in the station rushed to the fire. "Officers were on patrol on an upper level of that station, smelled and saw smoke and went to investigate," Ms Tisch said. "What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames." Police are still working to identify the victim and the motive for the attack."Unbeknownst to the officers who responded, the suspect had stayed on the scene and was seated on a bench on the platform just outside the train car," Ms Tisch added. She explained responding officers were able to get a "very clear, detailed" look at the man and images were disseminated by the New York Police Department (NYPD). Later, three high school-aged New Yorkers called 911 to report they recognised the suspect on another train, Ms Tisch told reporters. The man was then located after officers boarded the train and walked through the subway carriages. He was arrested at Herald Square station - which is located in near to the Empire State Building in Manhattan. The man was found with a lighter in his pocket, the police commissioner said. "I want to thank the young people who called 911 to help," Ms Tisch added. "They saw something, they said something and they did something."The man, who was not publicly identified, emigrated from Guatemala to the US in 2018, the NYPD's Joseph Gulotta said. Gulotta explained detectives are still trying to establish whether the victim was asleep when she was set on fire. "She's definitely there, she's motionless," Mr Gulotta added. "So to say if she's asleep or not, we're not 100% sure, but it appears that she's motionless at that spot. "There is no interaction between the two. And when the incident happens, there is no interaction between them."

He told the dogs to "leave it alone."

There is a famous Oromo story. In an Oromo village, there lived a wise old man named Robele Megera. One day, he saw two dogs belonging to two neighbors fighting. This wise old man said, “Let’s help these dogs; otherwise, their problems will be shared with all of us. The problems in the world are caused by dogs that cannot think beyond their bones.” The elders and passersby in the area were surprised by the old man’s words and laughed at him, saying, “What can two dogs fighting do?” Meanwhile, a boy from the two neighbors came out and saw the dogs fighting. Thinking that his dog was the one who was being attacked, he brought a stick and beat the other dog. The other boy came out from the other house and started beating that dog. The matter spread to the two boys and instead of the dogs, the boys started fighting. The old man said, “Please reconcile these boys.” The people there said, “Let them fight,” and they passed by like a ghost. While the boys were fighting, one of the boys’ mothers appeared. The other boy started beating that boy with a stick. Hearing her son’s screams, the other mother also came. The boys’ fight stopped and the fight was between the two mothers. Robele said, “Please, let’s reconcile them before this fight spreads and involves all of us.” But the onlookers were enjoying the fight between the two as if it were a free fight. Some elders ignored them, saying, “What good will it do if two women fight?” A man stepped into the middle of the crowd. It was the husband of one of them. He said, “How dare you insult my wife?” and started beating the other woman. At that moment, the other husband, who heard the news, came running and broke up the fight. Robelle Magera still said, “Please stop; this fight will save the country.” But they did not listen. Everyone was only concerned about his own children, wives, and homes. The men were angry and told their children and wives not to enter. The fight between the two husbands intensified. The people began to surround him. In the meantime, they began to fight each other, saying that they were from the same tribe. Among those who stood there, those who said that they were from that tribe also started to fight. As the tribes of the two people were different, the fight grew into a tribe. Not only swords and arrows, but also weapons were added. The looting of houses, burning, and killings became more and more frequent. The village became a battlefield. Eighty-eight people from both sides died. The fight stopped with so much suffering. The shepherd was also sad. “If we had stopped the dogs when they were fighting, the tribes would not have fought,” he said. The elders sat down. According to tradition, for each dead soul, a person from the other side is killed or a hundred cattle are given. If this is the case, then eight hundred cattle from both sides are required. In addition to the death of a person from the other side, sixteen people are killed. The number of dead has increased to thirty-two. This matter worried the elders. At this point, Robele stood up. "If you had listened to me earlier, you would have been sent. Each of us has killed for ourselves, not for others, and finally the time has come for us. We have reached this point where we have failed to say, 'Leave the dogs alone.' Whenever wars break out, the saying 'Leave the dogs alone' is disappearing. Neighbor and neighbor, tribe and tribe, king and king, country and country, Islam and Christianity, village and village, the one who fights is disappearing. The origin of war is dogs. The dogs that started the fight with bones cost us lives. These dogs are dogs that cannot think beyond bones. Their only goal is to fight bones. If the country is destroyed, if life is destroyed, if property is destroyed, what do they care about. How can dogs that cannot think beyond bones cost us all this? "You who saw those dogs only saw that they were not your dogs. How can we be peaceful while others are angry? How can we live safely while others are fighting? How can we be satisfied while others are hungry? It is impossible. "We must not lose any more lives, nor our cattle; bring the silver coins of each of you from both sides; and throw them into the river, and let everyone take the donkey; but you will be forgiven," he said, and they were reconciled. If we had not "let go" of the dogs, no one could have imagined the final outcome. When the dogs called Hitler and Mussolini rose, no one could have said "let go" and set the world on fire. At that time, various sources were saying that the Jews were suffering, but the West, who had made us laugh, saw them congratulating Hitler at the Berlin Olympics. And so, in the end, the donkey was spared for them. The first Emperor Haile Selassie appeared at the World Assembly and told the dogs to "leave them alone." Many of them barked like dogs themselves.They tried to suppress the emperor's speech, but they failed. In the end, the dogfight turned into a world war. Today, the world is worried about Iran's nuclear weapons. When the Iranians did not know that there was such a thing as nuclear weapons, the world watched in silence as they knocked on their doors. If they had told the dogs to "leave them alone," then Israel and America would not have been so worried. When America deployed Bin Laden to expel the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, it saved itself and the world from the suffering it had caused. As the saying goes, the dog I raised bit me, the horse I rode jumped me. The French at the time watched in silence as the dogs who broadcasted a program that divided Rwanda into ethnic groups and killed people were killed. When the Rwandan genocide began, many, including the government of the Rwandan government, saw and heard them. The dogs that were abandoned and the fire that the dogs brought ignited a fire that burned East and Central Africa. That is why it is necessary to say “abandon” in time to the dogs that cannot think beyond the bones. In Ethiopia, when it is said that a church has been burned, it is being watched in silence. It is absolutely unacceptable that this evil act represents any religious community. But both Muslims and Christians should “abandon” the dogs that are stoking this fire. Otherwise, the end will come to all of us and we will have to pay a heavy price. These dogs cannot think beyond the daily bone. They only know that they have found a bone by fighting with others for a while. Here, an eye gouging, there, acid throwing, there, child rape, here, homosexuality, there, mutilation, here, dousing with cold water, the media shouts, whispers, and sometimes it is called a crime. But those who give up the dogs are disappearing. I do not understand those who give up the dogs who rape these children, who mutilate the bodies of our sisters, who commit barbaric acts with a ferocious spirit. The saying goes that we all wake up when our doors are knocked, when our children are touched, when our bodies are mutilated, when our sisters are raped. Oh, let's leave the dogs alone. The smugglers and smugglers, who cannot think beyond making money, who do not care about the honor of the country, the dignity of citizens, and the humanity of human beings, are recruiting Ethiopians who do not know anything from their villages, and are being kept quiet while they are illegally crossing into the Arab world in what seems like legal ways. Just as the dogs only see their bones, they only see their money. They do not understand where the person they are sending will fall, what will happen to him, how he will be. But the people are suffering. Sending human resources to Arab countries did not start with us. Indians, Filipinos, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sudanese, Egyptians are flooding in. But there is no one who suffers as much as our people. Why? The one who leaves the dogs is disappearing. The one who says your dog will survive for the country and the people is disappearing, the one who draws a line is disappearing. Today, some countries have come to the point of saying, "We will not give you a visa, we will not accept you," because of the illegality of people who do not feel responsible and think only of their own bones, like dogs. The teachings, writings, speeches, songs, and practices that make us harbor resentment against one faith, one nation, one party, and one another are being silently observed. We should say goodbye to these dogs who cannot think beyond temporary power, position, money, invitations, and applause. Some of us are ours, while others are affected by those outside of us. But let us not forget that our house is made of glass. If we don't let the dogs go, the fire they started to spread like wildfire could eventually destroy all of our homes. And he told the dogs to "leave them alone" from Abu Dhabi.When it began, many, including the governments of the West, were seen and heard, and many were not. The dogs that were abandoned and the dogs that they brought were a fire that burned East and Central Africa. That is why it is necessary to say “leave” in time to these dogs that cannot think beyond the bones. In Ethiopia, when such a church is burned, it is being watched silently. It is absolutely unacceptable that this evil act represents any religious community. But whether Muslims or Christians, we should “leave” the dogs that are stoking this fire. Otherwise, the end will come to all of us and we will have to pay a heavy price. These dogs cannot think beyond the bones of the day. They only know that they have found a bone to grind with each other for a while. Here, an eye gouging, there, an acid attack, there, a child rape, here, homosexuality, there, mutilation, here, the media shouts, whispers, and sometimes it is called a crime. But those who say leave the dogs alone are disappearing. Those who rape these children, those who mutilate our sisters, those who commit barbaric acts with a ferocious spirit are not understood. The reason is that we all wake up when there is a knock on our door, when our children are touched, when our bodies are mutilated, when our sisters are raped. Oh, leave the dogs alone, let's eat them. The smugglers and recipients, who cannot think beyond making money, who do not care about the honor of the country, the dignity of the citizens, and the humanity of the human being, are being kept quiet as they are illegally transporting Ethiopians from their villages to the Arab world under the guise of legality. Just as dogs only see their bones, they only see their money. They do not understand where the person who sends them will fall, what will happen to them, how it will happen. But the people are suffering. Sending human resources to Arab countries did not start with us. Indians, Filipinos, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sudanese, Egyptians are pouring in. But there is no one who suffers as much as our people. Why? Because the dogs are disappearing. Your country and people are being destroyed by the destruction of those who are angry, those who are drawing a line. Today, some countries have reached the point of saying, "Don't bring us here, we won't give you a visa, we won't accept you," because of the illegality of people who don't feel responsible and think only of their own bones, like dogs. The teachings, writings, speeches, songs, and practices that create hatred for one faith over another, one nation over another, one party over another, and create hatred for another, are being seen in silence. We should abandon these dogs who cannot think beyond temporary power, appointment, money, invitations, and applause. Some of us are silent because they are ours, while others are affected because they are outside of us. But let us not forget that our houses are all made of glass. If we do not let the dogs go, the noise they have started to make like a joke will eventually destroy all of our houses. And tell them to "leave" the dogs, Abu DhabiWhen it began, many, including the governments of the West, were seen and heard, and many were not. The dogs that were abandoned and the dogs that they brought were a fire that burned East and Central Africa. That is why it is necessary to say “leave” in time to these dogs that cannot think beyond the bones. In Ethiopia, when such a church is burned, it is being watched silently. It is absolutely unacceptable that this evil act represents any religious community. But whether Muslims or Christians, we should “leave” the dogs that are stoking this fire. Otherwise, the end will come to all of us and we will have to pay a heavy price. These dogs cannot think beyond the bones of the day. They only know that they have found a bone to grind with each other for a while. Here, an eye gouging, there, an acid attack, there, a child rape, here, homosexuality, there, mutilation, here, the media shouts, whispers, and sometimes it is called a crime. But those who say leave the dogs alone are disappearing. Those who rape these children, those who mutilate our sisters, those who commit barbaric acts with a ferocious spirit are not understood. The reason is that we all wake up when there is a knock on our door, when our children are touched, when our bodies are mutilated, when our sisters are raped.

His full name is Nicholas James Vujicic. He was born in 1982 (G.C) in Australia. As you can see in this picture, he lost his arms and legs at birth due to tetra-amelia syndrome. While in such a terrible and exhausting situation, he realized something. “There is no one to strengthen and encourage me except myself.” He began to love himself. He continued to see himself as a popular man with good prospects for life. He changed his negative view of himself. He began to dream good dreams for his life. Nick Vujicic, in 2005, was able to found the international organization ‘Life Without Limbs’ and the organization ‘Attitude is Altitude’, which provides inspiring and educational advice. This mighty man did many ‘wonderful!’ great things despite being a man without arms or legs. Throughout his life, he has been among the most successful people in the world. Nick Vujicic starred in ‘The Butterfly Circus’. He won the Best Actor award at the 2010 Method Fest Indepeendent Film Festval. This man without arms or legs wrote and published many books despite living such a difficult life. His first book, “Life Without Limits,” was especially popular, being translated into more than 30 languages around the world. To this day, the book is widely read as a book that changes lives dramatically. The man, who was born with a disability but full vision, has traveled to more than 57 countries to give educational, inspiring and motivational speeches. Everywhere he goes, he starts his speeches with a strong statement: “No matter how difficult your situation is, you will win.” In his book Life Without Limits, he wrote a quote: “I believe my life has no limits. I want you to think about your life accordingly. Think accordingly if you have any obstacles in life. Now we have started the journey of life together. Think of all the problems you have brought into your life or allowed others to do to you. Imagine what you could create if you were free of these problems and obstacles in life.” Despite the content of his book, the brief history teaches a great deal about this brave man. It is not to give up. 👉I have no doubt that you who are reading this story will learn something amazing from it. I believe that in your thoughts you are comparing the success of this man born without arms and legs with your life story. Asking yourself, ‘Where did he start and where did he end up?’ I guess you’re wondering where you might end up from. Yes, I have arranged this story in this way because I wanted you to think so, not so that you can rub your nose in sorrow about this man's injuries. He is not someone today whom people feel sorry for and say, 'They will eat me!' He is married and has children with his wife and is living a comfortable and successful life. He is working and earning a good income and is economically independent. The loss of arms and legs did not make him dependent on human hands; he did not limit his life. I understand, your situation may be difficult for you. You may have lost someone to hold your hand and tell you to be strong. Also, external pressures and various factors may make it seem impossible to achieve your goals. I will remind you of something here. Just like Nick Vujicic said ‘no one can honest me but myself’, honest yourself. Strengthen yourself and keep going. Don’t worry about your injuries, about your poverty, about your loss of relatives, about the problems surrounding your life in general. Have a positive view of yourself. If you are strong, there will be no obstacles that will limit your life.
