Dr. Feride Rushiti is the founder and Executive Director of the Kosova Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims (KRCT) since 1999.
Ms. Rushiti is graduated and specialized at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tirana, Albania.
Feride Rushiti is one of the pioneering activists of Human Rights in Kosovo.
Soon as the war in Kosovo has ended in 1999 she established the KRCT the same year, just in order to treat survivor victims of torture where she was actively involved in providing medical and psycho-social assistance for the first post-war returnees.
Ms. Rushiti began its work in March 1999, when half of Kosovo’s population fled Kosovo, and mainly where deported to Albania; many of them had suffered from the effects of severe mental and somatic torture and other violations of human rights and other constituted rights enjoying by people
In its 20 years of work and activity, the primary importance has been dedicated to the survivals of wartime sexual violence in Kosovo.
After almost two decades of work and uncompromising engagement of Mrs. Rushiti, survivors of sexual violence have been recognized as a civilian victim of war as a legal status.
Exactly, in 2017, its advocacy brought an important government decision to fund personal retirement for survivors of wartime sexual violence in Kosovo.
Since 2007, within the Human Rights and Advocacy Sector, she has been very active in lobbying, promoting and protecting human rights for persons deprived of their liberty.
In this regard, thanks to the contribution and influence of Mrs. Rushiti, the overall treatment situation and the legal framework for persons deprived of their liberty has been promoted and improved.
Rushiti graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Tirana in 1997.
Later she specialized in gastroenterology.
In 1999, Rushiti traveled to Kukës in eastern Kosovo, on the Albanian border.
She worked with the UN’s children’s agency and with Doctors Without Borders.
During the 1990s, more than half of the population of Kosovo moved out of the country, mostly to Albania, because of the 1998-1999 war and because of many human rights violations.
Rushiti formed a group of 45 health professionals from Kosovo to provide medical and psychological support to the refugees.
After the war, the refugees returned to Kosovo.
This was a new beginning for protection of human rights, especially from torture and other forms of human degradation.
In October 1999, Rushiti started the Kosovo Center for Rehabilitation of Torture Victims (KRCT), to provide rehabilitation, health care, and psycho-social help for the survivors of torture and violence.
In 2014, the parliament passed a law to recognize rape survivors as war victims, so they could receive pensions.
In 2018, after more than ten years of advocacy by women's activists, including Feride Rushiti of The Kosovo Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims, they started receiving money.
Survivors can receive $280 a month (about 228 Euros).

A Hyperloop is a proposed type of train that would travel at very high speeds.
The reason it can travel so fast is because it is inside a tube with no air.
This vacuum means that there will be no friction to slow the train.
In 2012, Elon Musk (Tesla Motors, SpaceX) proposed this technology.
In 2013, he put a plan online that showed the hyperloop train taking 35 minutes to go between San Francisco and Los Angeles in the United States.
He shared this technology to the world.
In 2015, Musk's company built a  test tube.
He asked universities and companies to make the test trains.
They had two competitions in 2017 to see how fast the hyperloop trains could travel.
The fastest test was .
Possible advantages
The hyperloop will be faster than cars, buses and regular trains.
Elon Musk suggests that it may be possible to travel over .
The hyperloop will be eco-friendly compared to a lot of current transportation.
Most plans for building the hyperloop use solar power to run the system.
The hyperloop is a free and open-source technology.
Elon Musk put the plans online for anyone to use and asked people to improve the technology
Because the hyperloop trains run inside of a tube, they will not be affected by weather such as snow or fog.
Possible disadvantages
Building costs will probably be very high.
It is predicted that the Los Angeles to San Fransisco hyperloop would cost between 6 and 7.5 billion USD to build.
The trains will vibrate at a high speed which may cause passengers problems such as dizziness or stomach upset.
Passengers will not be able to move while the hyperloop is traveling.
As in a rapid transit system, there will be no access to toilets during trips.
Bourton-on-the-Water is a large village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England.

In computer science, selection sort is a method for sorting data such as numbers into an ordered list.
It is not an efficient method of sorting data compared to more advanced algorithms such as quicksort and heapsort.
However, it is very simple to build and is usually taught to beginners in computer science.
Selection sort has a time complexity of O(n2).
When given a list of unsorted data, the algorithm will divide the list into two parts: one part that has all the sorted data and another part that has all the remaining unsorted data.
When the algorithm first starts, there is no data in the first part as no data has been sorted yet and all the unsorted data is in the second part.
The algorithm then starts to find the smallest item in the unsorted data and swap it with the left-most element of the list.
The part with the sorted data is then the left-most element and the part with the unsorted data is the remaining unsorted elements.
The algorithm repeats itself, by finding the smallest element within the list of unsorted data and swapping it with the left-most element, eventually getting a sorted data.
The implementation of this algorithm requires using two nested loops.
The outer loop is to work on every element in the list starting from the left-most element whereas the inner loop is to find for the smallest element within the unsorted part of the list before the smallest element is swapped with the left-most element.
for (int start = 0; start < array.length - 1; start++) {
int minimumId = start;
// Find the index of the smallest number
for (int i = start + 1; i < array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] < array[minimumId]) {
minimumId = i;
// Swap the smallest number with the left-most element
int temp = array[start];
array[start] = array[minimumId];
array[minimumId] = temp;

It is grouped and governed as part of the Far Eastern District.
The Far Eastern District contains ten other federal subjects too.
Buryatia also shares an international border with Mongolia.
In the past, the Buryats were linked and related to the Mongols.
It is because of the close distance and trade with each other.
They also share a similar culture.
Because of this the Buryats were ruled by the Mongols many times.
The Xiongnu Empire (209 BC-93 CE), Kublai Khan's Mongol Empire (1206-1368) and the Northern Yuan Empire (1368-1691), were examples when the Buryats were ruled by the Mongols.
Other Mongol tribes also lived in Buryatia during that time too.
The Russians, who were Europeans, first arrived in the area of the present-day Buryatia during the 17th century.
They came because they were looking for furs and gold.
Later during the 1920s, the area was affected by the violence of the Russian Civil War.
In 1923, the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was formed at the end of the civil war to put in place a proper rule.
The area changed size and name many times while it was in the Soviet Union.
The Buryat ASSR started controlling itself in 1990.
This was when the Soviet Union collapsed and Buryatia took on the name Republic of Buryatia in 1992.
However, it continued to be a republic in Russia.

There are many animals and birds in the area.
These animals and birds may appear depending on the season.
The area is also rich in minerals like gold, tungsten, uranium, zinc and more.
Buryatia's population at the end of the Soviet Union decreased for some time, according to data.
Most of the people that live in cities and towns live in the capital, Ulan-Ude.
Ethnic Buryats are about one third of the population.
Russians mostly make up the other two-thirds of the population.
Most ethnic Buryats practice a religion that is mixed with Buddhism and Shamanism, which is a belief that worships spirits and nature.
On the other hand, ethnic Russians mostly practice Orthodox Christianity.
Russian is taught and used commonly in Buryatia.
But the Buryat language is still taught in some schools and is used mostly at home.
The economy of Buryatia mostly relies on farming.
This includes the growing of crops and rearing of animals.
The mining of minerals contributes to the economy of Buryatia.
The building of military equipment and machines also contribute to the economy of Buryatia.
Lake Baikal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tourism to Lake Baikal and Buddhist sites are also more areas that have helped the economy.
The Head of Buryatia is the leader of the republic.
The Head is chosen by public vote every five years.
The People's Khural, is the republic's parliament.
The People's Khural lawmakers are chosen similarly by the public every five years.
The majority of these lawmakers are currently from the United Russia party.
The United Russia party is the ruling party of Russia.
The republic was part of the Siberia Federal District before it was transferred to the current Far East Federal District.
Buryatia lies along the important Trans-Siberian railway and Trans-Siberian Highway.
This railway and road link Moscow with Asia.
They also connect Buryatia with the rest of Russia.

In computer science, binary search is a method used for finding an item in a sorted list.
It is an algorithm that is more efficient than linear search, which will go through every item in the list of items to find a particular item.
However, the given list of items must be sorted first before a binary search algorithm can be used.
First, the algorithm must be given a sorted list and the item to look for, called the target value.
The algorithm then compares the middle item of the sorted list with the target value.
If the middle item is the same as the target value, then the position of that middle item in the sorted list is returned by the algorithm.
If the middle item is larger than the target value, then the algorithm will repeat the previous step, but this time only working on the lower half of the sorted list (where all the items are smaller than the middle item).
The same is done if the middle item is smaller than the target value, but the algorithm will repeat the previous step on the upper half of the sorted list (where all the items are larger than the middle item).
Here is an example of searching for the number 84 in a list of 9 numbers.
The following is a table showing the 9 numbers in increasing order and their list positions:
The following is a table showing each step of the binary search algorithm.
The middle item in the sorted list is in bold.
In this case, position 7 is returned by the algorithm after 3 steps.
If the item is not inside the sorted list of items, the binary search algorithm will keep trying until the position of the smallest item is larger than the position of the biggest item before it will return as an unsuccessful search.
The implementation of this algorithm requires using a while loop, which will check if the position of the smallest item is larger than the position of the biggest item.
Inside the loop, the algorithm will then check if the middle item is equal to, smaller than or bigger than the target value.
int smallest = 0;
int biggest = array.length - 1;
// Make sure that we still have items in the list to search in
while (smallest <= biggest) {
int middle = (smallest + biggest) / 2;
if (array[middle] == target) {
return middle;
} else if (array[middle] > target) {
biggest = middle - 1;
smallest = middle + 1;
// Return a negative number when we cannot find the target in the array
