Alum launches social networking app
UCSC Extension Blog January 22, 2020 Database and Data Analytics, Students, Technology
"This place teaches you more about startups than anywhere else. Every day I learn something new."
In 2017, it was just a rough idea—change the game of social networking by enabling users to tell stories and react through facial expressions rather than text-heavy messages.
"You don't want to be reading endless lines of boring text," says Aakash Dave, 25, an entrepreneur on a mission to catch the eye of Silicon Valley investors. "You want your friends to speak up, listen to your stories, and relive the same moment."
The Silicon Valley Dream
Dave, the technical designer and solo evangelist for Spotmi, a social network startup, grew up on technology and social media. He was eight years old when he wrote his first line of code. He arrived in Silicon Valley as an international student from India in 2018 and quickly completed the UCSC Silicon Valley Extension Database and Data Analytics certificate program.
"Silicon Valley, this is the helm, the official hub for people with a startup," Dave says, describing "easy access to investors" and a growing network of supporters offering advice and new connections. "This place teaches you more about startups than anywhere else. Every day I learn something new."
Starting with School
Like most UCSC Extension students, Aakash already had a bachelor's degree (in Computer Engineering) and work experience when he arrived in the U.S. He was able to complete the Database and Data Analytics certificate in six months while exploring topics in other programs as well such as IoT, branding and positioning, and finance.
The evening courses felt like "interactive sessions or a great meeting," rather than a lecture course, he says. In particular, he liked collaborating with other students on projects and meeting people from all walks of life. In one of his favorite courses, Internet of Things, he created a simulated underwater drone to detect threat objects and send out alerts. He studied key marketing concepts in Positioning and Brand Management and the basics of finance in Finance I, Fundamentals.
Building a Network
It was the people that made a difference, he says.
"I made a lot of good connections while I was here," he says. A classmate in Data Analytics, Introduction turned out to be an accounting instructor with a deep of knowledge of finance. They talked about fundraising and networking. A student in the advanced Python class got him in touch with another startup entrepreneur who put him in touch with a venture capitalist.
"This place helped me get to a point where I made connections with amazing friends who had positions in the valley. Students over here are really well-versed in networking. It's been a game-changer."
Throughout this time, he's continued developing Spotmi. He describes it as a social network app that understands your facial expressions. Facial expressions and photos are favored responses in lieu of comments. The hardest part has been tweaking the features to meet consumer demand, he says, noting that fundraising hasn't actually been easy either. While it started as an invite-only platform, it's now available for free on the App Store.
"My main goal is to build a brand that people can relate to in terms of having fun," he says. "Once you provide users value, people will steer towards the product. That acts as a magnet to the VC capital."
In true Silicon Valley form, Dave's also releasing his own podcast, "Psuedo," which he describes as a conversation about the "blunt truth on the Silicon Valley hustle and how to address it smartly."
Dave's favorite pieces of entrepreneurial advice
Make a fantastic product that people love to use and see if your friends enjoy it, then learn to market it in a really great way.
Don't start by raising funds. First, build a good product. Know your team. Don't start until you're ready.
Build personal relationships with people. Your network is your net worth. Leverage it.
Don't hesitate to ask for help.
Soft skills and how you present yourself—those are the first things people judge you on—then comes your technical ability.

Sandesh Molane says:
This looks surreal. Simply Amazing is what comes to my mind. I have known Aakash for the past 8 years but it feels like eternity.

Agreement 32 Ccr
The trend is growing for parties who derive a potential right to purchase to obtain both an agreement to extend the status quo and a possible statute of limitations. Previously, it had been considered extremely risky to enter into an agreement that would "lock in" the 30-day limitation period, given the application of regulations and strict enforcement of deadlines, whereas these status quo agreements are commonly used throughout the jurisdiction for other claims. However, this position has weakened in recent months since the Amey Highways88 case was mentioned above, in which the court granted a brief extension of time on the basis of an agreement between the parties. Such agreements are now used to give parties more time to exchange information and examine their views before a procedure becomes immobile. 84 In this case, the Authority had agreed to a "status quo agreement" whereby the statute of limitations would not be prescribed for a specified period of time. Although the Authority did not wish to argue that the Tribunal could not exercise its discretion to extend the period, the Tribunal found that "the existence of this agreement constitutes a good reason for extending the period". It remains to be seen whether, as a result of this case, such agreements will become a common purchasing rights practice. Public gaming devices are common. They generally relied on the Teckal28 or Hamburg Waste29 exceptions for "internal" and public sector cooperation agreements that meet certain conditions that are not offered in competition under public procurement rules. These exceptions are "codified" in the RCP, UCR and CCR.30 2.
In Section 74 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (entry into credit or lease agreements: exclusion of certain agreements) (20), for subsection (2A) replacement – "e) a credit contract that was terminated under Rule 50, paragraph 1, of the 2013 regulation (information, cancellation and additional charges) of the 2013 regulation (automatic termination of related agreements). Public procurement rules do not prevent foreign suppliers from bidding, but suppliers may (or must) refuse certain offers to supply goods from third countries (third countries) with which the EU does not have a mutual agreement49. As a signatory to the GPA, but outside the EU, the UK could have more freedom to define its own procurement policy than it currently has as an EU member state, although many of the fundamental principles would remain the same. However, much depends on the nature of the UK`s future relationship with the EU. Other procurement commitments could be made as part of a possible EU-UK trade agreement or another agreement that may require a closer reconciliation of UK legislation to EU rules. The "automatic" suspension, which applies only to purchase challenges, occurs when an application form is issued prior to the award of the contract and does not require a court hearing.

Home A TFC Series Confessions of a Fat Girl 43: Uzoamaka
A TFC Series
How did we get here? How on earth did we get here? How did things come to this?
Those were the thoughts running through my mind, as we sat in the modest living room of Uzoamaka's eldest sister, Oby. I remembered having given her a ride here, the year I opened my shop. She had had an emergency and had needed to get to her sister's house as a matter of urgency, and as I had wanted to please my new neighbor, I had done the drive all the way to Ogba, without even complaining. I remember how we had gotten here at about 4pm, and despite my insistence on immediately getting back on the road, so I could get back to the island before dark, Oby had insisted I stay for lunch. The smell of ofe nsala coming from the kitchen had made the decision for me, so I had stayed there till well past 6pm.
And now, I was here again, but where was Uzoamaka?
Looking around at the pockets of people scattered around the room, and even outside, it still felt surreal to me. This couldn't be happening!
Wasn't it just yesterday that Uzo and and I had been constantly bickering? Wasn't it just yesterday she was lamenting about stocking her shop? Wasn't it just yesterday that she had such wonderful plans for Christmas in Oguta?
Unfortunately, she never even made it to Oguta.
As Oby recounted the story, for what I assumed to be the umpteenth time, I noticed how much she had aged in the few years since I'd seen her. She wasn't a day older than 47, 49 at the very oldest, but she looked almost 60, no thanks to her grief.
On December 23rd, the day before Uzo was to have travelled to Oguta, her flat had been stormed my Policemen. Her son, Okwuchi, had been involved in a robbery in the nearby Victoria Garden City Estate, and he and his gang had carted away with goods worth millions of naira. Alas, the Policemen had refused to believe that even Uzo, his mother, had not seen him in over a week. And so, she had been taken away to the station, where she had spent 2 nights, until her sister, Oby, who hadn't been able to travel for the holidays, had bailed her on Christmas morning.
She described how subdued and defeated Uzo had been, when she picked her up from the station. It was like the light had been extinguished from inside her. She had declined Oby's offer to come with her to Ogba, and had asked to be taken home instead. But all the way home, she had lamented about her curse, called Okwuchi, and had wondered what she had done to deserve such an evil child.
Not liking her disposition, Oby had opted to spend a few days with Uzo. She had tried to cheer her up with hearty meals, and anecdotes of their past Christmases in Oguta, but something in Uzo seemed to have shut down.
That fateful day, December 29th, the man Okwuchi had robbed had brought thugs to their house, demanding they produce him from wherever he was being hidden. The sisters pleaded, to no avail, as the house was searched from top to bottom. When the search yielded no results, they had beaten them both up, before leaving with the promise to return.
According to Oby, even though they were emotionally traumatized from the beating, neither of them had received any serious injuries. But their neighbours had insisted on taking them to the hospital anyway, where they had been given a clean bill of health.
Getting back home, Oby said Uzo had sat on a stool, on her veranda, muttering to herself. Even when Oby had tried to engage her in conversation, she had continued the self mumbling, head shaking, and finger biting. Eventually, she had agreed to go to bed. Oby said, that night, she made up her mind to remove Uzo from that hostile environment the very next day.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be. As when she hadn't emerged from her bedroom by noon, Oby had been shocked to find her sister lying lifeless on her bed.
There had been no foul play, and the absence of drugs and other paraphernalia ruled out suicide. Uzoamaka had simply given up.
At this point, I sobbed uncontrollably.
I blamed myself for not having been a better friend to her…for not being someone she could have called in her time of need. I blamed myself for all those times I kept her at arm's length, instead of drawing her close. Now, she is gone…and we are left with nothing but regrets.
Okwuchi is still on the run. Even the news of his mother's death hasn't made him resurface. Sitting there in that living room, I felt such hatred for the young man, and going by the looks on the other faces in the room, I wasn't the only one.
Uzo had had him as a teenager…17 to be exact. She had just completed her GCSE, and had gone to spend the holiday with her Uncle in Onitsha, where she had been seduced by the good looking apprentice in his spare parts shop. Her very astute Aunt had realized she was pregnant even before she had, so an abortion had been out of the question. And so, she had been sent back to her parents, toting a huge belly.
Unfortunately, that had put paid to any form of further education for her, as her parents had blatantly refused to adjust their lives to care for an infant. So, she had dedicated her own life to caring for her son.
But from an early age, the boy seemed destined for delinquency. From telling outrageous lives, to petty thievery, by the time he and his Mother moved to Lagos when he was in his early teens, he had become a confirmed problem child.
Because of him, their brief attempt to relocate to America was terminated, as Uzo's sister had sent them packing, after one-too-many incidents of theft and suspected drug abuse. They were back in Nigeria after only 4 months. Because of him, Uzo couldn't do anything worthwhile. If she raised capital, he would steal it. His reputation always found a way to precede them both, making it impossible for his mother to grow beyond small scale retail.
And, of course, he was the main reason she had never married, as all the men who had been interested in her, had been scared off by her delinquent son.
And now, his actions had cost her her life.
As I drove back home, I wept. I wept uncontrollably, and pleaded with God not to allow my boys be a source of shame and heartbreak for me.
Uzomaka! My dear friend. Please, rest in peace!

I feel so sad and pained…rip to the dead


I really do love to entertain, but quite honestly, it makes me a nervous wreck. I can think of very few events I've hosted that did not in the end, give me hives and turn me into a lunatic an hour before start time. I'm trying to change that though by taking on less, preparing easier dishes and not fretting about how spotless my floors are. What I'm finally learning at the age of 35 is that as long as you light a few candles, add a simple flower arrangement, and have plenty of good food and wine to drink, your guests really won't care how clean (or dirty) your floors are and if you have holes in your wall that need patching (although some may ask) ;) Also crucial is to wear a smile when you open the door to greet them. There's nothing more unsettling to a guest than having the hostess greet you with a frenzied look of panic on her face. I speak from experience.
Vegetable Platter: heirloom tomatoes, baby sweet peppers, celery, french green beans & mushrooms with a zucchini hummus for dipping. The hummus recipe I use is very similar to this one.
Cheese Platter: Herbed goat cheese, Double Cream Brie & Manchego with honey roasted figs & prosciutto. I tried a new cracker from Trader Joes; Rosemary Raisin Crisps and they were delicious.
Spicy Watermelon Salad: Inspired by an appetizer we ate during our PTA Moms Gone Wild night, I've been recreating this salad by mixing cubed watermelon, heirloom tomatoes and baby seedless cucumbers together with the juice of 1 lime and a few dashes of sea salt and cayenne pepper. A refreshing salad for warm summer nights.
Jules brought me those beautiful avocados that included a hand selected quote for me. Jules loves a pretty package and she has inspired me to amp up my next hostess gift, something I'm really not very good at. She also added this salad from Better Homes & Garden which was delicious and Rachel brought a Parmesan beer bread that was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. For dessert, again I kept it light and simple by putting out dark chocolate, craisins & almonds and these Hail Merry raw Macaroons, which are incredible. I am just about running out of adjectives to describe the food so I will end it here. I hope your weekend was filled with both a mix of sweet and savory.
Oh man, I totally freak out about cleanliness when I host parties too... and I'm usually frantically cleaning up to the last minute.
I love the simple decor, I need to remember candles!
I love the candles and the accompanying flowers. Very pretty. Glad it was such a lovely time. This is definitely one thing I miss - entertaining.
You are am amazing entertaining and I had a wonderful time!
We used to entertain a lot...it's so much work that I have done a lot less in the last few years. It's fun though and I kind of miss it! Looks like you had some great food and fun!
What a fun night! Wish I lived about six hours closer!!
super beautiful evening! you're the hostess with the mostest for sure.

A student can request to take one leave of absence during their undergraduate career, the duration of which can be between one and four semesters away from MIT. Students are eligible to request a LOA up to ten days following the first day of classes of the semester. If a student's time away extends beyond two years, their return to MIT will follow the Request to Return process for a Personal Leave.


When I looked into travel arrangements from Ames, Iowa to Bloomington, Illinois, it appeared impossible to do within the short window of time available. Gloria Flathom, Illinois State Regent came to my rescue by arranging to have Mary Ostrom's husband, Greg, fly to Iowa to bring me to her conference in record 2 hour time with no security delays at all! Mary is the Illinois Chair of Constitution Week. Dr. Ostrom's plane is a Cessna 310R with upgraded engines and other performance and navigation enhancements. I was grateful he did not turn around and fly the other way when he saw my excessive luggage. It was fun to be in a private plane and brought back great memories. My visit to Illinois was all too short, but I thoroughly enjoyed the great hospitality of the Illinois Daughters.
On Thursday evening April 26, 2018 the Illinois State Officer's Dinner was held. The featured speaker was John Lupton, Executive Director for the Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission. Mr. Lupton presented an extremely interesting program on "Fantastic Find or Forgery: Abraham Lincoln's Handwriting." Mr. Lupton has been a consultant for the PBS History Detectives, other TV shows and publications.
The official opening of the 122nd Illinois State Conference began April 27, 2018 in Bloomington, Illinois. Conference guests included, President General Ann T. Dillon, Sandra Pollack Director of Development NSDAR, State Regents Beverly Moncrief, California; Susan Davis, Idaho; Alice Miles, Oregon and Fay Leach, Minnesota.
On Friday, the Illinois Bicentennial Luncheon featured Dr. Randy Dunn, Co-Chairman Illinois Bicentennial Commission and President of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, where Dr. Dunn highlighted this yearlong celebration. Illinois DAR members have actively been involved in the chapter sharing a Bicentennial Minute read at chapter meetings, and in the community promoting this celebration. Governor Rauner along with other dignitaries and DAR members including myself met at Kaskaskia Island for a mock signing of the proposal for statehood, which originally took place in August 1817. This area was settled in 1718 and King Louis XV of France named this area "The bread basket of New Orleans." July 4, 1778 the Virginia Militia defeated the British in one of the westernmost battles of the American Revolution in this historic island.
At the National Defense Night, the 144th Military Band provided musical entertainment. Dr. Ann Rondeau, a retired three star U.S Navy Admiral and President of the College of DuPage, was our featured speaker. Dr. Rondeau reminded us of our heritage; the soldiers and sailors from our past and how this patriotism courses through us. Katy Orenchuck was announced as the Outstanding Illinois Junior.
Saturday morning a private plane was sent to Iowa courtesy of a 50 year member, Mary Ostrom and her husband Dr. Greg Ostrom, to pick up President General Ann T. Dillon. What a thrill it was to announce from the podium that the President General was airborne and on her way! After arriving in Illinois, Mrs. Dillon assisted in presenting the American History Awards, DAR Good Citizens Awards and State Scholarships at the youth day luncheon. Melissa Craig won the outstanding History Teacher Award. The Heritage and Founders Club tea was held in the afternoon.
On Saturday night, President General Dillon spoke on "A Look at the National Society." The presentation of the President General's Project Certificates and a check along with an Abraham Lincoln top hat silver charm topped off the night. The newly elected officers also were installed.

UK portrait photographer Bella Kotak uses photography to channel her floral and fairy-tale passions into creating images that take the viewer to another world. Recently, she used the Profoto A1, the world's smallest studio light, to transform a botanical garden into her studio for a series of portraits of a fairy-tale princess.
So, when we approached her to ask if she wanted to try out the Profoto A1, she was intrigued by the possibilities.
"I'm a huge fan of Profoto lights, so when they got in touch regarding a new product they were working on, I was really keen to be on board, push myself out of my comfort zone, and reconnect with the playfulness that I experienced when I first picked up the camera," she says.
Shooting with natural light is something Bella is very comfortable with, but she feels there are drawbacks. "It's not always possible to get the exact quality of lighting that could really take that picture to another level," she says. "With natural light, you have to be quick, intuitive and creative to make the most of what you have.
Bella's solution was to use the A1 at medium power, along with the soft bounce and diffuser modifiers, to illuminate Jodi. The light was positioned on a light stand and held right above the frame. She kept one flash on camera and used it as an air remote for the main light.
The third setup was the most dynamic, building on what Bella did in the previous two. "We took the versatility of TTL and used it as fill," she explains. "First, we shot the scene and kept our camera settings just enough to let the light creep in from the scene. It kept a dark mood, the main light combined with the addition of smoke made the model stand out.
Bella says the beautiful, natural quality of the light exceeded her expectations and that she has been bringing her A1s along to every photoshoot.

10th Governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
Peleg Sanford (10 May 1639 - 1701) was an early English colonial governor of Rhode Island, serving three consecutive terms from 1680 to 1683. He was the son of John Sanford (c1605-1653) by his second wife, Bridget Hutchinson (1619-1698).
His father had been the cannoneer at the fort in Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but was forced to leave Boston in 1637 when Peleg's grandmother, the famed Anne Hutchinson, was evicted for her religious views, having, in the words of John Winthrop, "seduced and led into dangerous errors many of the people...in New England.".
With Anne Hutchinson and her followers, the Sanfords established themselves in Portsmouth in the Rhode Island colony, and Peleg's father, John, was briefly the governor of the two towns of Newport and Portsmouth, which were separated from Providence and Warwick for a short time.
King Phillip's War
Sanford grew up in Newport, and as a young man was appointed as a Captain of a troop of horse there. Following the events of King Phillips War, he and Captain Goulding informed Captain Church of the hiding location of the Indian warrior King Phillip, and the following day the Indian was found and killed.
In 1677 he and Richard Bailey were chosen as agents to go to England to deal with incursions made by the neighboring colony of Connecticut. In 1679 he became a major, and in 1687 he was given the rank of lieutenant colonel.
In 1667, at the age of 28, Sanford began his political life and became an assistant, serving for three years, then was deputy for seven years, after which he once again served as assistant for another two years, ending in 1679. In 1680 he was elected 10th governor of the colony, and served three consecutive terms, ending in 1683.
During the period from 1686 to 1689 when the New England colonies had their charters revoked, and their governments fell under the Dominion of New England, Sanford served as a member on the council of Sir Edmund Andros, the governor of the dominion. Sanford wrote his will in 1701, and it was proved on 1 September of that year.

Sanford had no children by his first wife, Mary Brenton (1636-1674). She died childless in about 1674 and the following year he remarried.

Only a fortnight after UNSW Vice-Chancellor Professor Fred Hilmer criticised government bureaucracy and fee regulation as restrictive, newly released university rankings have shown Australian universities are performing better than ever. The latest Academic Rankings of World Universities places 19 of Australia's 37 universities in the top 500, the third highest number of universities in the …
Hilmer Calls for Greater Fee Deregulation
August 9, 2012 Archive 2011-12, News, No. 10, Vol. 58 (2012) 0
UNSW Vice-Chancellor Fred Hilmer has used a speech to the National Press Club to call for greater deregulation of universities, criticizing government policy as dysfunctional. Hilmer told those gathered that tight budgetary conditions and increased enrollments had seen many universities realise that 'fee-flexibility' was the best way to increase funding.

As of January 2018, Gilead has raised the price of its HIV/AIDS treatments Truvada, Genvoya and Descovy 6.9%, despite the fact that the patent for tenofovir, a key component of all three treatments, expired in mid-December.
In October, as patent expiration loomed, AHF called on Gilead for a 90% price reduction on its tenofovir-based drugs, including Truvada. Ethically challenged drug company has made billions off the drug since its initial FDA approval while it simultaneously sought to 'evergreen' and manipulate patent extension process. AHF renews call for 90% cut.
LOS ANGELES (January 8, 2018) AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest global AIDS organization and a vocal critic of runaway drug pricing and drug profiteering, today blasted Gilead Sciences, Inc. over newly instituted price hikes of 6.9% on three key HIV/AIDS treatments despite the fact that the patent for a key component of each treatment—tenofovir—expired in mid-December.
In October 2017, as patent expiration loomed for Gilead, AHF called on Gilead to reduce the price of its tenofovir-based drug regimens—including Truvada—by as much as 90%.
The California drug company has made billions off of sales of its tenofovir-based drugs since the FDA first approved Gilead's tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), branded as Viread, on October 26, 2001. That patent expired on December 15, 2017, with the patent on a pediatric version of the drug set to expire in early 2018. All the while Gilead simultaneously sought to 'evergreen' and manipulate the patent extension process.
Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or 'TDF' – previously cited above.
In 2014, in anticipation of Viread's upcoming patent expiration, Gilead pulled a much more efficacious 30mg lower dose version of Viread off its development shelf and instead began the evergreening process by filing its first New Drug Application (NDA) for the modified Viread molecule, tenofovir alafenamide, or TAF (later branded Vemlidy).

Mar Awtel
On 3 June in the Maronite saints calendar we celebrate the feast of Mar Awtel who is an early Church Saint, particularly venerated among the Eastern Churches including the Maronite Church. Sources vary about the time in which he lived, but place him somewhere in the 3rd to the 6th Century. He was born in Asia Minor.
His parents were pagans and he converted to Christianity when he was young. He fled his home to avoid being married. He is known for a miracle that happened while he was travelling by sea. The boat he was travelling on came up against a great storm and through his prayers, all aboard survived and as a result all were inspired to convert to Christianity.
He later travelled to Constantinople, Antioch and Lycia where he led an ascetic life in the monasteries. He also inspired many pagans to convert to Christianity. He lived out the rest of his life in the desert in a monastary.
He is the patron saint of the village of Kfersghab.

Inequality affects us all. With insightful contributions from twenty-six prominent scholars, The Praxis of Social Inequality in Media: A Global Perspective presents country-specific studies that enunciate media depictions of poverty, technology-related inequalities, the media's role in empowering women, and media representations of race, sexuality, and gender. This book should be essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in the media's significant, but somewhat controversial, role in our global society.
This very timely collection argues that social inequality is the ordinary—but often invisible—product of the practice of global capitalism. The contributors critically analyze the news media and how it legitimizes and normalizes the praxis of inequality around the globe. They also identify possibilities for developing more equitable practices in news storytelling and in the distribution of media technologies to those most marginalized by capitalism.
Empirically rich and drawing from a range of experiences of poverty from around the world, this collection fully delivers on its purpose: to open up theoretical frameworks and methodologies around the intersection of social inequality and media. Scholarly critiques of classical theories of economics and political science and rigorous examinations of neoliberalism and neocolonialism are strengthened through case studies that demonstrate the importance of contextually grounded analyses, and that of facilitating spaces for voice and active participation. The result is a dynamic collection of examples of the agency of underrepresented populations—not just in socioeconomic mappings, but in academic research as well.

Mark Zuckerberg named as most powerful person in UK media
0 0 Ravi Kumar Purbey 25 Jul 2011
Apple boss Steve Jobs has been pushed aside by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the latest Top 100 list of the most influential people in the UK media, published by the Guardian.
The list, brought out annually by the British newspaper, is compiled by experts from the world of technology, public relations and media.
Zuckerberg, who was placed seventh last year, now tops the list, with Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, who didn't even appear last year, straight in at number two. The new placements at the top clearly reflect the growing influence of social networking sites in the media world.
Another new entry is Amazon's founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos, placed at number twelve. The success of the Kindle has helped raise the company's profile even further, and this year it's expected to release a tablet or two to go head-to-head with the iPad.
Google's Larry Page drops down one position to number three, while last year's most influential person, Steve Jobs, is now at number five. The highest placed UK figure is Mark Thompson, the director general of the BBC, positioned at four.
The rise of Facebook has been phenomenal – the social networking site launched in 2004, with Zuckerberg appearing in the Guardian list for the first time three years later in 2007 – at that time the site had fewer users than MySpace.
Facebook now has around 700 million members, with the Guardian judges calling it an "immense media distribution platform" and the "number one media player" in the world today.
A report back in June, however, suggested Zuckerberg's Facebook was losing users in the US, with stats showing traffic there going down. Facebook refuted the figures.
In the UK, more than 50 percent of the online population uses the social networking site. Zuckerberg, keen to get a billion people on board, is looking to China to bolster numbers.
With Twitter's Jack Dorsey now breathing down Zuckerberg's neck after coming from nowhere, the Facebook founder will have to find new ways to keep ahead of the game in the coming twelve months if he's to stay at the top of the tree.

Q: SSRS - disabling Export functionality based on User I have a report in SSRS that needs to disable the "Export" functionality based on who the User is.  Is this do-able?  And, is it possible to disable all Export options except the PDF option
Thanks
Mike

A: Upon research, I found the below URL that basically says you can't disable "Export" on a report by report basis....only pre server. Also, it looks like, when using the ReportViewer control on an aspx page, you can disable "Export" types. The author suggest that SSRS incorporate this in the Reports Manager.

Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Each Of Her Returns To The Halloween Series
By David Pountain 2 years ago
Like the John Wick of scream queens, it seems that Jamie Lee Curtis keeps getting pulled back in for one final job as Laurie Strode. In a recent interview, the Halloween actress offered a thorough breakdown of the various times she's returned to this iconic role, making it clear that she's long harbored a feeling of loyalty to the character who was first introduced in the classic 1978 original.
The first time Curtis reprised the role was in 1981's Halloween II, which she saw as an opportunity to complete Laurie's story while also serving as a fitting conclusion to the horror-heavy first act of the film star's career.
The truth of the matter is I did Halloween 1 and 2 because Halloween 2 picked up exactly where Halloween 1 left off…I felt I owed it to the people who loved the original movie…I had already done Prom Night, Terror Train, kind of a bad thriller called Road Games in Australia, and then I did Halloween 2. I knew, if I knew anything, that it was time to say no more because if I hadn't I would never have been able to do anything more and I knew that.
Michael Stalks His Prey In Another New Halloween Photo
Next, Curtis discussed Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, which would see the long-awaited reunion between Laurie and the franchise's star killer, Michael Myers. Though the 1998 film's conclusion, in which Laurie seemingly kills and decapitates Michael, may have looked to serve as the "concrete conclusion" that the actress wanted for her character, we now know that the studio had other plans, which resulted in 2002's infamous Halloween: Resurrection.
Of course what we learn, which by the way was not the original intention, was that it was not Michael, that it was an innocent man that Laurie had killed. So what I said to them was, if this is in fact how we are going to conclude the movie, without the audience knowing, then I have to come back for one more movie; for a very short moment to conclude Laurie's story…So for me, I thought H20 was the correct thing to do at the time, I liked it, then I had to be in that other thing just to conclude the story and then I truly thought I would not return to this.
Enter David Gordon Green, whose script for the next Halloween was apparently good enough to bring her back once more.
I read it and I thought it was a very clever, modern way of referencing Halloween. I'm sure everyone is coming up with the word; it is not a reboot, it is a re-telling. It's a very interesting take on the movie because it references Halloween 1 in every way it can, stylistically, characterologically, visually, emotionally; it follows very similar themes but it's its own movie so it's a very clever mash-up of the first movie in a re-telling, like a direct sequel. It's fascinating. When you see what they've come up with you'll be wowed, because it's a very modern and yet very true movie.
So, that just about brings us up to the present day as we await the release of Blumhouse's Halloween. Will it be the fitting conclusion to the Laurie Strode saga that Curtis and her fans crave and Resurrection failed to deliver? We'll find out on October 19th.

Title: Postdoctoral Associate- Nervous System
Division: Neurology
Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8 am to 5 pm
Salary Range: Hiring up to $56,712
FLSA Status: Exempt
Requisition ID: 7480
The Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Laboratory in the Departments of Neurology and Neuroscience and Molecular and Human Genetics programs at Baylor College of Medicine is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral research associate position. The interdisciplinary laboratory uses molecular anatomy and cellular electrophysiology approaches to understand how single genes control cortical excitability, network synchronization, and epilepsy in the developing brain. Current mouse models of epilepsy include mutations of ion channels, transmitter receptors, and glioblastoma. Spontaneous and transgenic mutations that express neurological phenotypes in the mouse provide a valuable opportunity to identify excitability genes and examine their role in synaptic plasticity in the developing brain.
Brain wave (EEG) phenotypes emerge from gene-linked alterations in neuronal signaling properties, and are of special interest. Study of these mice have led to the identification of novel members of the TARP gene family, hippocampal hyperexcitability and seizures in models of Alzheimer's disease, genes and mechanisms underlying spreading depression and sudden death, and a new understanding of cancer neuroscience. We are also exploring activity-induced changes of downstream gene expression and conditional gene silencing in epileptic brain to identify regulatory pathways that are critical mechanisms of disease and tumor progression. Some of these genes, such as those for glutamate and GABA transporters and microglial pathways suggest distinct mechanisms for seizure-induced excitotoxicity and inflammation.
Postdoctoral Associates are trainees working in an apprenticeship mode in preparation for a career as a scientific professional.
Plans, directs and conducts specialized and advanced research experiments.
Evaluates and analyzes data.
May establish new research protocols and procedures.
Summarizes research findings and publish results in research journals.
May be responsible for laboratory operations.
May supervise research staff.

Sheldon Wolin, 1922-2015
Sheldon Wolin, the political theorist, has died.
In the last five years or so, we've seen the exit of an entire generation of scholars: David Montgomery, Carl Schorske, Peter Gay, Marshall Berman. This was the generation that taught me, sometimes literally. But Wolin's death hits me hardest. I took two courses with him as an undergraduate: Modern Political Theory (Machiavelli to Smith) and Radical Political Thought (Paine to Foucault). The first in my freshman year, the second in my sophomore year. I would have taken more, but Wolin retired the following year. Those courses set me on my way. I would never have become a political theorist were it not for him.
There will be many texts and appreciations in the days and months to come. Wolin taught generations of students, many of whom are now leaders of the field, and their students are now teaching other students. At CUNY, we're always swimming in his seas: Robyn Marasco, at Hunter, was the student of Wendy Brown and Nick Xenos, both of whom were students of Wolin. John Wallach, also at Hunter, and Uday Mehta, at the Graduate Center, were both students of Wolin. There's probably no more powerful a demonstration of Wolin's vision of political theory as a tradition of continuity and innovation, as a transmission across time, than these students of students of students.
While many of these texts and appreciations will focus, and rightly so, on the political side of Wolin—as mentor and participant and commentator on the student movements of the 1960s, particularly at Berkeley; as leader of the divestment movement at Princeton in the 1970s and 1980s; as searching public critic of technocratic liberalism, market conservatism, and American imperialism, in the pages of the New York Review of Books and his wondrous though short-lived journal democracy; as a theorist of radical or "fugitive" democracy—I want to focus here on the way he did political theory. Less the substance (though I'll come to that at the end) than the style.
The first thing to note about Wolin's approach is how literary it was. It's hard to see this in some of his texts, but it was on full display in his lectures. I don't know if Wolin was at all trained in New Criticism—I seem to recall him citing I.A. Richards's Practical Criticism somewhere—but he read like a New Critic. The opening paragraph or page of every text was the site of an extended exploration and explication, as if the key to all of the Second Discourse was to be found in that arresting image of the statue of Glaucus which Rousseau mentions at the outset.
Chekhov has a line somewhere about how if you put a gun on the wall in the first act, you damn well better make sure it goes off in the second. Wolin paid attention to those guns, especially when they didn't go off. He was endlessly curious about a theorist's metaphors, asides, slips, and allusions, and mined them to great effect. Long before we were reading de Man and Derrida, he was reading like them. But without all the fuss. He just did it.
One moment I remember in particular. In his lecture on The Prince, Wolin stopped and stayed with the dedicatory letter to Lorenzo de' Medici that precedes the text. These two paragraphs in particular:
I hope it will not be thought presumptuous for someone of humble and lowly status to dare to discuss the behavior of rulers and to make recommendations regarding policy. Just as those who paint landscapes set up their easels down in the valley in order to portray the nature of the mountains and the peaks, and climb up into the mountains in order to draw the valleys, similarly in order to properly understand the behavior of the lower classes one needs to be a ruler, and in order to properly understand the behavior of rulers one needs to be a member of the lower classes.
I therefore beg your Magnificence to accept this little gift in the spirit in which it is sent….And if your Magnificence, high up at the summit as you are, should occasionally glance down into these deep valleys, you will see I have to put up with the unrelenting malevolence of undeserved ill fortune.
Most readers, if they pay attention at all, focus on that last sentence, where Machiavelli lands, making the passage little more than an extended case of special pleading: cast out of office (Machiavelli had been an adviser to the Florentine republic) after the Medicis came to power in 1512, arrested and tortured, and then exiled to his country estate, Machiavelli wanted nothing so much as to be of use to the men who had ruined him.
Wolin read things differently. First, he noticed the subtle dig at Lorenzo and rulers more generally: standing on the summit, they could only see one side of the art of rule. To truly understand the art of rule, however, one had to see it from both perspectives: that of the ruler and that of the ruled. And who could see both perspectives? The theorist, like the landscape artist who painted from the vantage of the valley and the peaks. Seemingly a humble plea from a humble servant, the dedicatory letter is in fact a brazen elevation of the letter writer, the theorist, over the ruler, the prince. By attending to the metaphor, Wolin found a deeper statement about the relationship between the political theorist and the political actor.
But then Wolin stepped back even further, asking us to think about that notion of perspective embedded in Machiavelli's metaphor. Most theorists ask us to look upon the political world sub specie aeternitatis. To properly see things as they are, they ascend or exit to the view from nowhere. Plato leaves the cave, Rousseau (an imperfect example here, I know) is locked outside the gates of Geneva, Rawls removes himself to the original position, to a place where there are no positions. Machiavelli, said Wolin, takes a different tack: the political art is to see things from multiple positions and places, to adopt the vantage of one, then the other, to see (and draw) the whole as a composite of perspectives. Perspectivalism is the fancy word for this, and it's usually traced to Nietzsche (who, perhaps not coincidentally, in his notebooks described Machiavelli's teaching as "perfection in politics.") But Wolin identified it with Machiavelli—and as a result, incidentally, came up with a far more interesting reading of the incommensurability of views in Machiavelli than that which we find in Isaiah Berlin's famous essay on Machiavelli.
I remember Wolin doing something similar when we read The Wealth of Nations. He asked what it meant for a political text to open with men making pins in a factory, what it means to make these the leading figures in a political drama. He even might have compared it to the opening of The Prince, asking us to focus on the literary characters that people the one text versus the other. I can't remember what conclusions he drew from that question, but it was a kind of reading that I was not used to. And that many theorists and philosophers, focused as they are on the formal logic and propositions of an argument, don't really do.
The second thing to note about Wolin as a reader is his historicism. Historicism today, at least in political theory, is primarily identified with Quentin Skinner and his contextualist method. Political theorists, it's said, are not in a dialogue across the ages. They are instead local, situated political actors, engaging in a series of moves and counter-moves that are structured by the rules of the game they happen to be playing. That game is the political discourse of the day. Its players are the lesser and greater polemicists and pamphleteers of an argument. To understand what Machiavelli, Hobbes, or Locke is doing when he writes a text, you have to read the hundreds if not thousands of local interlocutors he is responding to. Pace the claims of many readers, the Second Treatise is not a response to Hobbes, who was dead by the time Locke started to write it. Political theory, like politics itself, is a situated enterprise. To understand it historically, we have to disaggregate it into a series of local, often disconnected enterprises. That's what it means to recover the pastness of the past.
(Though Skinner in his more recent work has suggested that Hobbes may be directly responding to Machiavelli. That very notion—that a theorist could be reaching across a century, not to mention a continent, in writing a text—is a great no-no among Skinner's followers, which is why some of them seem so scandalized by it, as I discovered at a seminar last year. Hell hath no fury like an acolyte scorned.)
Wolin was called by a similar historical impulse as Skinner. He too sought to recover the discrete languages of the past, the situatedness of theory and action. But Wolin's historicism was different. Without resorting to those thousands of interlocutors, he managed to contrive a much more radical and bracing sense of the past than most contextualists (it should be said that Skinner himself actually manages to do this with great aplomb), in part because he remains loyal to a notion of movement across time, of a dialogue across the ages.
There are so many instances of this sensibility at work in Politics and Vision, Wolin's greatest book, but one in particular stands out for me. It comes early on, in the third chapter, where he's discussing the move of political theory from ancient Greece to ancient Rome.
Already, you're invited into a historicist frame. Wolin was a big one for the specificity of theory's location in time and space. What effect did it have that political theory arises in the context of the polis, the city-state; moves to an empire radiating out of Rome; resides (and lives a covert life) for hundreds of years in the Church; and suddenly revives in the form of the modern nation-state? At each step, Wolin was attentive to how the location in time and space alters the vocabulary, the questions, the categories of theoretical inquiry.
Wolin opens his discussion of the move from the Greek city-state to the Roman empire with a quote from Tacitus, where Tiberius contrasts the austere virtue of the early days of Rome with the decadence of the imperium, and ascribes the shift to the fact that originally "we are all members of one city. Not even afterwards had we the same temptations, while our dominion was confined to Italy."
For Wolin, the passage is filled with intimation: the suspicion that our understanding of politics is inescapably tied to the experience of the ancient city-state, with its "civic intimacy" and "nervous intensity" and "compelling urgency," such that any alteration of that "spatial dimension" becomes a sign of political dilution and loss.
The essential questions raised by these political thinkers were: how far could the boundaries of political space be extended, how much dilution by numbers could the notion of citizen-participant withstand, how minor need be the "public" aspect of decisions before the political association ceased to be political?
Setting aside what might be seen as an implicit normative claim underlying these questions—this relentlessly local and immediatist understanding of the "political" would dog Wolin's work on radical democracy for years, though I don't think we need to accept that understanding in order to see the power of the historicism at play here—what he was pointing to was how significant an effect it was to be confronted, physically, concretely, by such a vast tract of land as that which was contained by Rome, and to attempt to conduct politics on that new terrain.
For Wolin, the vastness of the imperium helped make sense of the extended and elaborated codexes of law, administration, and jurisprudence that entered the theoretical canon with Rome, but even more interesting, the newfound attention to symbols and personae.
In large entities like…the Roman Empire, the methods of generating loyalties and a sense of personal identification were necessarily different from those associated with the Greek idea of citizenship. Where loyalty had earlier come from a sense of common involvement, it was now to be centered in a common reverence for power personified. The person of the ruler served as the terminus of loyalties, the common center linking the scattered parts of the empire. This was accomplished by transforming monarchy into a cult of and surrounding it with an elaborate system of signs, symbols, and worship. These developments suggest an existing need to bring authority and subject closer by suffusing the relationship with a religious warmth. In this connection, the use of symbolism was particularly important, because it showed how valuable symbols can be in bridging vast distances. They serve to evoke the presence of authority despite the physical reality being far removed….
…The "visual politics" of an earlier age, when men could see and feel the forms of public action and make meaningful comparisons with their own experience, was giving way to "abstract politics," politics from a distance…
This shift from the visually immediate to the distant and the abstract—one can see it in Machiavelli's claim that in politics, no one knows who you are but how you appear; in Hobbes's notion of the Leviathan—would be a recurring theme in Wolin's analysis, even a lament. (As Bonnie Honig pointed out to me in an email, Wolin was the master of the in-between: he was at his best when he understood how political beings are located in these in-between modes. He was especially attuned to this in-between-ness when the in-between was temporal. When it became spatial, he tended to be more of a catastrophist, seeing the move from one space to another, or one mode of space to another, as absolute, the portent or picture of a complete loss.)
But if we can step outside the lamentation, we can see in it a stunning reminder of the situatedness and historical specificity of theory. Not in the formal polemical arguments of the Romans or the Greeks (though there's plenty of that in Wolin, too). But in these deeper idioms and unspoken grammars, in the almost unnoticed backgrounds of space and time (his discussion of the effect of introducing the category of an afterlife, of eternal time, on Christian thought is equally resonant), in the guns that don't go off in the second act.
And, again, the only reason Wolin can notice them is that he's willing to do what the contextualists say you can't do: reach across time, force thinkers who never knew each other (maybe never even heard of each other) into a conversation. That is the way we can get at the specificity of their language, through comparison and confrontation. That is the way we can understand the ruptures of historical experience. With the exception of Nietzsche and Hegel, maybe Lukács (those passages on the effect of the changing mode of warfare in The Historical Novel are pretty incredible), I can't think of a single theorist who understood this, who did this, so well.
The last thing to note about Wolin's approach is how interested he was in translation. Not the translation from French to German or ancient Greek to English, but the translation of one language of politics into another. While Wolin is often, and justly, associated with the claim that we have lost the language of politics—again, in the style of a lament—what was always more interesting about his approach was how attuned he was to ways in which a political vocabulary or idiom gets translated in a new setting.
We've already seen a little of this in his account of the transposition of political concepts from the city-state of Greece to the imperium of Rome, but the most exciting moment, for me, occurs when Wolin turns to the rise of Christianity and its impact on political thought. Where most commentators, says Wolin, treat the political dimensions and elements of Christianity solely in those moments when the religion is forced to confront the polity, Wolin takes a different tack:
The significance of Christian thought for the Western political tradition lies not so much in what it had to say about the political order, but primarily in what it had to say about the religious order. The attempt of Christians to understand their own group life provided a new and sorely needed source of ideas for Western political thought.
What follows is an attempt to reconstruct the politicalness of the early and later Christians' ideas of membership in the Church, of schism and heresy, of priesthood and papacy, and so on. It's as if the entirety of the ancient political canon had been sublimated into a religious idiom and context; the task of reading was to recover the modes of that sublimation and to see what remained from the ancients and what was lost.
I can't say how generative these notions of transposition and sublimation have been for me. In my first book on fear, I looked at how later, more psychological approaches to fear were sublimations of earlier, more political understandings of fear. More recently, I've been fascinated by the idea that economics is a sublimation of an earlier political vocabulary of action, glory, and greatness, how even someone as mathematically inclined as Ricardo may, in his idea of the margin, be transposing and transforming Machiavelli's ideas of the founding and time. Where most theorists identify the political moments of these writings in the passages where an economist considers the state, I take my cues from Wolin and look for them in those moments where an economist deals with questions of exchange, risk, interest, profit, and so forth.
Sublimation is also the word Wolin uses when he reaches the nineteenth century and looks at the rise of "organization" as the central element of contemporary political life. In the last chapter of the book (in the first edition), Wolin takes us from Saint-Simon to Lenin to Elton Mayo and Peter Drucker, and sees in each of these writers and moments of theorizing, an attempt to escape from politics. Again in a declensionist mode, Wolin sets his sights on the ascendance of economistic modes of thinking. His clear target is the modern corporation and the managerialist discourse of human relations. These are political languages, practices and institutions; they are the result of centuries of displacement from ancient Greece to the modern nation-state. Yet they evade their politicalness or fail to understand it.
What's interesting to me about this last chapter is how much it may have missed in its conflation of the economic with the organization and the corporation. Of course, it makes sense that it did. Wolin wrote Politics and Vision in 1960, on the heels of a decade that had seen the publication of such titles as The Hidden Persuaders, The Organization Man, White Collar, and the like. It was the age of the corporation and middle management; naturally, that was Wolin's endpoint, which shouldn't in any way diminish just how surprising and innovative it was for him to write a history of the Western political canon that ends with Peter Drucker!
But what it missed, I think, was the very insight that powered his earlier chapters on the Christians: not that the political vocabulary was lost or eclipsed, but that it got transposed into a new key. For that, to my mind, is how we should be reading thinkers like Schumpeter, Hayek, Coase, Mises, Friedman, even Jevons and Ricardo. Little in the way Wolin dealt with economistic modes of thinking could prepare us for the ferocity of the political assault that economics was about to visit upon us. But that ill-preparedness was baked into the lament for the lost language of politics.
Politics, even the Grosse Politik of Nietzsche's imaginings—which lurks, in a quieter, more quotidian vein, in the background of Wolin's writing—never really goes away. It just assumes, as Wolin was the first to teach us, a new key. Always in-between.

I'm not a political theorist, but I absolutely love _Politics and Vision_ for its precise ability to put so much thought into conversation across centuries and continents. And I have an special appreciation for any writer who can explain things so thoroughly and enjoyably to an educated non-expert.

As I read your blog and other blogs centered on political theory and practice, I am curious why G. William Domhoff seems to be universally ignored as is Veblen, Lundberg, C. Wright Mills, and Baltzell. Any reason for the detours around studies that concentrate on the Ruling Class?

Маланка́рская якови́тская сири́йская христиа́нская це́рковь (, ) — является ветвью Сиро-Яковитской церкви с центром в Керале, Индия. Признаёт сирийского патриарха, коим в настоящее время является Игнатий Афрем II, как своего первоиерарха. Функционирует как в значительной степени автономные подразделения в рамках церкви, под руководством Католикоса Индии, которым в настоящее время является Василий Фома I. Её члены причисляют себя к христианской общине святого Фомы, начало которой, согласно преданию, положил Апостол Фома в первом веке. Апостол Фома дошёл до Индии в 52 году и обратил в христианство представителей видных семей в штате Керала. В 345 году Фома Канский вместе с 72 сирийскими семействами и клириками прибыл в Кералу, положив начало сирийской национальности Кнаная в Керале. В 825 году прибытие двух епископов мар Сабора и мар Апрота укрепили отношения между христианами святого Фомы и Церковью Востока. Местная администрация ранних христиан святого Фомы в Керале был управлялась архидиаконами в отсутствие епископа. Архидиаконы получали клириков из Церкви Востока.

С XVI века португальские иезуиты пытались насильно внедрить латинский обряд Католической церкви. В 1653 году, мар Ахаталла прибыл в Маланкару. Он был сирийским епископом, который принял католицизм. Он был схвачен португальцами в пути и был доставлен в Мадрас. Недовольство этой политикой подтолкнули частью общины присоединиться к Архидиакону Фоме, поклявшемуся никогда не подчиняться португальцам в 1653 году. Та часть церкви, которая не пошла на унию с Римом, стала известна как Маланкарская сирийская церковь.

После мар Ахаталлх, Патриарх Иерусалима мар Григорией Абдель Джалил прибыл Маланкару в 1665 году, по приглашению Архидиакона и, таким образом, смог внедрить в Сиро-Яковитской церкви антиохийскую литургии в Маланкаре. В 1876 году Собор в Муламтеруте ввёл демократические процедуры и практики Маланкарской церкви в присутствии сирийских православных патриархов Игнатия Петра IV (правил в 1872—1894) и Иосифа мар Диваниасиуса II и представителей всех поместных церквей. Решения, принятые Собором в Муламтурути, известный как Мулантурути Падиёла, является самым важным историческим документом и самым ранним уставом Маланкарской сирийской церкви. В 1912 году Синод во главе с патриархом Игнатием Абдул Масихом II, который был спорно свергнут Османским правительством, посвятил Эваниоса как Католикоса Востока, под именем мар Василий Паулус I. Группы, которые поддержали Василия Паулуса, стали в конечном итоге Маланкарской православной сирийской церковью, в то время как те, кто поддерживал нового патриарха Игнатия Абдеда Алохо II, стали Яковитской сирийской ортодоксальной церковью. В 1934 году после смерти мар Диваниасиуса II cиро-яковитский патриарх Игнатий Илия III посвятил Паулуса мар Афанасия, как Маланкарского митрополита. В то же время мар Темотиос Ауген I оставил эту фракцию и вошёл в состав фракции Маланкарской церкви, которая подчинялась власти Василия Гиваргиза II, как Католикоса Востока.

Руководители церкви сделали несколько попыток воссоединения в середине XX века, ведущий к двум Верховным судом решения, но не смогли разрешить спор, и две церкви по прежнему независимо сосуществуют сегодня. К концу марта 1966 года, март Темотиос Ауген I объявил Маланкарскую ортодоксальную сирийскую церковь в качестве самостоятельной церкви согласно уставу 1934 года, и официальный Тронном кафедральном соборе Католикоса Востока в Церкви Мар Элиа в Коттаяме. Штаб-квартира Яковитской сирийской христианской церкви в Индии находится недалеко от Собора святого Петра и святого Павла Яковитской сирийской церкви в Путенкрузе.

В рамках сиро-яковитского сообщества, церковь использует западно-сирийскую литургию и принадлежит к семье Древневосточных православных церквей. Её епархии расположены главным образом в Индии, а также в США, Канаде, Великобритании, Западной Европе и государствах Персидского залива. В 2003 году было подсчитано, что церковь насчитывает 1.200.000 верующих по всему миру.
