Judaism is a religion, culture and ethnicity. It originated with Abraham and his descendants and is based on teachings from the Torah and Moses. Judaism involves following commandments, celebrating holidays and Shabbat, and maintaining Jewish identity and traditions even if not religious. While related through shared origins and scriptures, Judaism and Christianity are distinct, as Jews do not believe Jesus was the messiah and still await his coming.
This document provides information about Jesus Christ, including his birth, childhood, ministry, death, and resurrection. It describes how Mary was told by the angel Gabriel that she would give birth to Jesus, the son of God. It details Jesus' birth in Bethlehem and visitation by shepherds and wise men. It discusses Jesus' ministry traveling through Galilee and Judea, preaching and performing miracles. The document outlines Jesus' crucifixion in his thirties and resurrection, and his significance as the savior and son of God for Christians.
The document summarizes the arrival of the Zion church movement in South Africa in the late 1800s through American missionaries. It then describes Rev. Bryant baptizing 141 Christian Zionists in 1904 in Wakkerstroom after they gave up practices like drinking, tobacco, and witchcraft. Finally, it shares the testimony of Rev. Godfrey Maseko who found direction in life after accepting Jesus and was supported in his education by missionaries from the Christian Catholic Church in Zion.

This message is a prophetic word the Lord has given me. Test it.
Jerusalem represents the American Church— all the followers of Jesus
The broken walls of Jerusalem represent the broken moral and spiritual foundations of the Church— broken by many sins in the Church
Through those broken walls, forces of darkness have infiltrated and corrupted the people of God
The book of Nehemiah is a metaphor for how God is rebuilding our spiritual walls and cleansing God’s people in America
God restored Jerusalem in preparation for the coming of Jesus about 450 years later
God is restoring us now in preparation for a huge national and international revival

The document summarizes the work of underground Christian missionaries in North Africa who risk their lives to share the gospel amidst persecution. It introduces several native missionaries like Hassan who disguise their work and reach nomadic tribes, and Mourad who provides for impoverished children and leads former slaves to faith. It describes the dangers faced, including imprisonment and torture of believers, but also the fruit of their labor to plant churches across the region through creative ministries tailored to their respective peoples and cultures.
Mary anointed Jesus' feet with expensive perfume, angering Judas who said it should have been sold to help the poor. Jesus said Mary was preparing him for burial and the poor would always be around, but Jesus would not. When people heard Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead, they flocked to see him and Lazarus, prompting the priests to plot to kill Lazarus as well due to his role in many believing in Jesus.
The document discusses why the Prophet Muhammad had nine wives when Islamic law limits the number of wives to four. It explains that polygamy was common in earlier religions and cultures, but Islam was the first to impose a limit. While the Quran limits Muslims to four wives, the Prophet had nine before this rule was revealed. The document argues that the Prophet's wives had a special status, and that he did not divorce any of them after the four-wife rule came, as they chose to remain his wives according to the new rules of not remarrying after his death. It provides political, social, and religious reasons for each of the Prophet's marriages.
St. Maximus and St. Domatius were two brothers from a pious Christian family. They felt called to help the poor and sick, so they went to live as monks under the guidance of St. Macarius in the Scetis desert. There, they devoted themselves fully to prayer and manual labor, living in seclusion. When they fell ill, St. Macarius cared for them until they passed away, with crowds of saints attending their souls into heaven.
This document discusses the attributes of the Prophet Muhammad and provides quotes from eminent non-Muslims praising him. It also summarizes a covenant signed by the Prophet that protected Christians and ensured freedom of religion. Unfortunately, the covenant has been violated in some Muslim countries through attacks on churches and killings of religious minorities. Scholars hope to remind Muslims of the Prophet's teachings of tolerance through special celebrations in his honor.
This document contains a devotion about a man named Peter from Sudan who was once a slave. It discusses how Peter's grandfather was captured and made a slave in Northern Sudan due to his Christian faith. Peter's grandfather refused to convert to Islam and endured punishment. He passed down a brass shackle used to identify him as a slave to Peter's father before he died. Later, Peter escaped slavery and the shackle became a symbol of God's power to bring freedom. The devotion relates this story to 1 Thessalonians 5:17 about praying continually and urges readers to never forget persecuted Christians in Sudan.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Childrens 30-days Muslim Prayer Guide
1. 30 Days
of
Prayer
for the
Muslim
world
2008
A Prayer guide for Christian children and families september 1st - 30th 2008
2. Introduction
Welcome to a great adventure in prayer! Over the next 30 days, we will travel
through many nations and learn many new things about the people of the Muslim world.
We will visit fascinating countries and cities and look at areas where there is much need. We will pray for Muslim
children, refugees, and leaders. We will also pray for local Christians and missionaries.
Did you know?
Worldwide, there are more than 500 million Muslim children under the age of 15.
What is Islam?
Islam means submission to God. A Muslim is someone who follows the teaching of Islam. They worship
one God, whom they call Allah, and believe that Mohammed is their prophet. (Mohammed was a man
who lived from AD 570 - 632.) Muslims believe that God will judge each person by how many good
things and how many bad things they have done. There are five things that they must do to be good
Muslims, but even doing these does not mean they automatically go to heaven.
1. Recite the creed: “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet.”
2. Pray five times a day at certain times.
3. Give to the poor.
4. Fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
5. Make the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is a special month of prayer and fasting for Muslims. They are forbidden to eat or drink from
sunrise to sunset. We chose Ramadan for the 30 Days Prayer Focus because during Ramadan many
Muslim people, including those who are normally not very devout, will become much more serious
about their faith.
As we pray together with other Christians, young and old, around the world during these 30 days,
we hope that God will give all of us a heart full of faith and love for Muslims. Let’s pray that God will
indeed meet Muslims during these days.
—The Editors
3. Why Pray for muslims ?
Most Muslims do not know very much about Jesus
* Muslims do not realize that Jesus has suffered on the cross to bring
us back to God and that he was raised from the dead.
* They do not really realize that Jesus is the true King of all creation
and that he is to be obeyed.
All Muslims talk about an Arab man named Mohammed
* Mohammed lived 1,400 years ago.
* Mohammed believed he was a prophet.
* Mohammed said that all people should obey the creator God.
* Mohammed thought Jesus was only a prophet.
Mohammed Taught people to be Muslims
* Muslims generally believe that they can earn God’s approval
through religious activities (prayers, fasting, giving money).
Muslims do not know:
... that Jesus has the ability to forgive sins.
... that Jesus has conquered death through his resurrection.
... that Jesus has power over evil spirits.
Muslims do not think they can know God.
(They only think that they can know about Him).
We are praying so that Muslims can
discover God’s love throuGh Jesus
We want them to discover God’s forgiveness for sins.
We want them to discover God’s kingdom of light, peace, joy and goodness.

the phone. He really came to see her. Nazira is 24
years old and needs to get married soon accord-
ing to the traditions of the Tajik. But because there
are so few men, Nazira’s parents were not able to
find a husband for her. Sharif is already married two
times. Nazira will be his third wife. But he has a very
nice house and a good car, and so her parents are
very happy that he is willing to marry Nazira. Only
Nazira is sad. She always dreamt she would marry a
man who had only one wife - her!

Did you you know?
¤ If you pray for the names written on this page, you and your family
are among the first ones to do that.
¤ The Shahran tribal people became Muslims while Mohammed was
still alive.
D o you know the name of your great-great-grandfather? And
do you know where he lived? Maybe you think that’s a stupid
question! But for many Saudi Arabians, this is very important. They can
tell you even further back who their ancestors are and which city they
came from. Such a family is called a clan and many clans make a tribe.
Saudis are proud of their tribe and know exactly who is part of their
tribe. One of the biggest is the Shahran Tribe with 250,000 members.
Basically all of the people in this tribe are Muslims!
Do you like difficult names? Here are a few you can practice

Prayer Points:
¤ Pray for Shahran people to hear about Jesus when they travel to other countries,
when they listen to the radio, or surf the internet.
¤ Most people in this tribe cannot hear the gospel. It is illegal to talk about Jesus in
Saudi Arabia, and very few Christians have ever travelled to the places they live. Pray

8. Day 04 Spain
Did you know?
¤ For 700 years a large part of Spain was under Muslim rule and was called Al-Andalus
¤ In different places in Spain we can still see big beautiful buildings that were built by the Muslims
during this time
¤ The Muslims in Spain were called Moors
M any of the Muslims who live in Spain today have come from Morocco.
The Muslims in Spain have been building a very big mosque, one of the
largest in Europe. The Christians in Spain are not interested in the Muslims, and
only a few of them are telling the Muslims about Jesus. In some port cities the
Christians give books and DVDs to the Muslims
who are traveling so that they can see and read
what the gospel is all about.
Let’s go!
Find some Legos or other
building blocks and build a little
church with them where Muslim
believers could meet. Are you as
good a builder as the Muslims in
Spain have been?
Prayer Points:
¤ Pray for Spanish Christians to be more interested to tell Muslims about Jesus and to have the
wisdom to know how to do it.
¤ Pray for all those people who give away books and DVDs, and pray that the people who
receive them will use them and learn about Jesus.
¤ Some young people from Northern Africa are now in Bible Schools in Spain. Since they
converted from Islam it is very hard for them as new believers. They often lose their
friends and are rejected by their family. Pray for them!

9. The Bugis of Indonesia Day 05
T he Bugis are all Muslims, and they often are very zealous and sometimes even persecute
Christians. They not only believe in Islam, but they also believe in many spirits. They
wear amulets because they believe that they will get power from them. It is very difficult to
tell a Bugis that Jesus loves them and wants them to become believers in Him. Only a few
Christians have been reaching out to the Bugis to share the Good News with them.
This is something the Christians will need if they reach out to the Bugis.
Tub I llet uoy ot evol ruoy seimene dna yarp rof enoyna

Let’s go!
Take paper and scissors and cut out some islands. Write words like
love, peace, and faith on them, and any other things that you
want for the Bugis. Then pray for that – keep an island in your
pocket during the day and continue to pray for the Bugis.
Prayer Points:
¤ Pray that more people will go and share the
Good News among the Bugis.
¤ Pray that the people who are willing to go will
have courage and a lot of faith, and pray that
they will have enough money to go.

The Hui people who came to China many years ago married Han women who already
lived there. They learned to speak Chinese and just added a few of their own words
from Arabic. The Hui live all over the big city of Bejing, but many of them love to live
near their big mosque, the Niujie Mosque. The mosque is very beautiful because it is
built like a combination of an ancient Chinese palace and an Arabic mosque. Outside
the city are villages, where many Hui also live (see Wikipedia (Niujie Mosque).
