When your athlete is involved in any sport, parents and coaches want to be as supportive as possible. You do everything — your drive your budding athlete to practices and games, lug around gear and sprint for pizza after a game. It's all for the love of the athlete.
It doesn't take a super-parent to be a coach or team manager and fulfill that coach-arenting role. In youth sports just about anyone can do it. It takes compassion, enthusiasm and a willingness to make participating special and fun for the kids. With a bit of creativity and strong leadership, you can create a happy team on and off the field.
At the same time, jumping feet first into leading a youth sports team can seem overwhelming. Getting other parents involved, making sure all the kids are safe and having fun while balancing your family's needs—all parts of the "job" — can be fulfilling and yet also demanding and stressful. All too often, the importance of winning a game overtakes the experience of having fun. Worst of all, kids being pushed to the limit suffer injuries and don't return to the sport after recovery. The game becomes more about winning and less about bonding and working together as a team.
Winning is fun, but it is not the most important thing. Have you ever gotten pizza with your athlete's team after a game? By the time the pizza arrives, you would never know if they had just won or lost — they're just kids having a great time. Helping kids build confidence and self esteem as a personal accomplishment, no matter the game's outcome, is what makes a volunteer coach or manager job so important and rewarding.
So how do great coaches do it? How do they help their players improve fundamentals like speed and passing while still maintaining the spirit of teamwork and fun? How do super team managers create a positive, supportive culture that is enjoyable for all? How do they keep parents involved without spending hours each week on the phone or typing out long emails? Finally, and most importantly, how do they do all of this as a volunteer with limited free time?
Remember why we're all here: to develop youth by building the right culture, and to have fun! Follow TeamSnap's three-part series on how to build a successful team on and off the field.
One of the foremost concerns of any adult leading youth sports is making sure the kids are having fun. For everyone to achieve the fun factor, everyone should be on the same page. By communicating clearly, listening to one another and always treating each other with respect, the entire team is guaranteed to have a good time. If it's obvious someone isn't having fun, find out why. Never just assume the situation will work itself out.
VJ Stanley, a college and high school hockey coach who went on to coach multiple other youth sports, wrote a book about helping children get the most out of youth sports, "Stop the Tsunami in Youth Sports: Achieving Balanced Excellence and Health While Embracing the Value of Play for Fun." Stanley's number one piece of advice to parents? "Youth sports are supposed to be fun because play is an integral part of children's ability to grow, learn life skills and everything." Seventy percent of children playing youth sports at the age of 10 quit by the age of 13. He believes this happens because the child feels too much pressure from the coaches and parents, and it's not fun anymore.
They are not mini-adults. They are not pros in training. Only one percent of youth athletes will go on to play Division 1 college sports, and far fewer still make it to the professional ranks. It's more important, Stanley explained, to make sure you child is learning life skills, like how to be a team player.
His philosophy when it comes to team leadership remains simple. "Have it kid-oriented," Stanley said. "Let the kids play for fun, let them scrimmage together, pick up games during practice where you're not coaching." It can be easy to get caught up in dreams of bright lights, when in reality, the focus needs to be on setting realistic tangible goals. There is a real difference between dreams and goals. And the main goal is to play and have fun. A child's first learning experiences are play-based and studies have shown that play-based learning is critical in brain development. Develop your child as a child, not just as an athlete, by letting them play!
So what else? There are certainly other rules to follow to help build a successful team on and off the field. Come back for Part II and III in the next week for more ways, including how to keep other moms and dads on your team happy.


What a week of Fishing! This week we saw Jumbo Tuna being caught in our own waters! With Jumbos being caught out off Westernport and the Rip, the tuna fishing is incredibly exiting! With the fishing also amazing in Portland through the week, we have seen some of the seasons biggest fish be brought in this season. We also have seen the Snapper starting to warm up this week with some great fish being taken out of Westernport.
We have seen and heard of some great squid fishing down at Portsea this last week with bag limit captures not uncommon. Best jigs have been dark and red foil colours fished in the incoming tide.
More on the local seen again this week the garfish seem to be out in great numbers. Beaumauris bay and Frankston pier seem to be the hot spots and using live maggots and burley being the key to success.
Staff Member James snuck out for a quick session on Patterson river managing to find some bream. James was fishing hard bodies and vibes with his best fish going 36cm. Patterson River is a quality fishery with some serious bream and other species to be caught.
Mr nice guy Tam Misson thought he would try his luck out the front of western port bay on Monday. Tam called the shop in the morning to tell us he had put a fish on the deck whilst fishing solo in his boat Black Opps. Tam also said there were plenty of whales and bait out there and he caught his fish on a sprocket in evil colour. Well done Tam and thanks for making us jelous whilst we were trying to work hard in the shop.
Glen and his mate went looking out the front of Phillip island on Sunday and came home with the goods. The boys caught this giant tuna which weighed 125 kgs on a lumo sprocket in 50 metres of water.
Customer Jarrod went for an early season Snapper at the top end of westernport bay on the weekend. Jarrod was fishing with his new Rapala Imperium rods and said they worked perfectly on these lovely early season Snapper he caught on squid as bait.
Customer Clee Grace fished the top end of westernport bay during the week and fished the last of the high and the first two hours of the run out tide. Clee caught some great snapper to 5.5 kgs and was using squid as bait.
Dougie pictured below with a great Murray cod he caught out the front of the big river arm. Dougie was trolling with a purple diver when this train hit and gave him an almighty fight.

Everything under control
Carlos Carvalhal hailed his players for staying rigidly to the gameplan as Wednesday romped to a 3-0 win over Birmingham at Hillsborough.
The head coach devised a system and plan to undo the Midlanders, which worked to perfection as the Owls served up a Boxing Day treat.
He said: "The players did exactly what we planned before the game.
"They listened well, moved the ball from the right to the left, and this made life very difficult for Birmingham.
"Even though we did not create chances right away, I thought we controlled the game from the first whistle.
"But we scored two goals in two minutes and it is hard for any team not to be upset by that.
"We corrected just a few little things at half time and emphasised that we needed another goal very quickly.
"We did this with Fernando's goal and from there, the result was never in doubt."
Carvalhal went on to underline the togetherness in the camp and the importance of every player playing his part.
Typically, he credited the whole team rather than pick out individuals.
Carlos added: "We completely had the game in our control and that is because we have a good dynamic.
"I am happy with Fernando, but I am happy with Atdhe and Gary Hooper, who worked so hard for the team.
"I am happy with all the players in the group.
"That is the creation that we have here and this is what we will take into our next game against Middlesbrough on Monday."


The bureaucratic division between Social Security and Medicare, which consumers often find confusing, has its roots in history. When Medicare began in 1966, the whole program was run by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Later, the federal government created a separate agency now known as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Today, SSA still administers some functions of Medicare, such as eligibility and enrollment, whereas CMS runs others, such as coverage policies.

Many parents are obsessed with having their children be good at sports — YouTube is cluttered with videos of insane mothers screaming from the grandstands at high school football games and aggressive fathers pummeling referees who called one too many hand-checks on their kid. There's a reason parents wake up at 4 a.m. to take their 5-year-olds to youth hockey leagues. But what if there were a way to channel that gusto and give your kid a leg up by simply partaking in a little bit of family planning?
A new study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine in November suggests there might be: simply conceive your kid during the second half of winter. Children conceived at this time of year, the research suggests, are more physically fit and stronger than peers born in other months.
The researchers, led by Dr. Gavin Sandercock, a clinical physiologist at the University of Essex, tested nearly 9,000 boys and girls between age 10 and 16 on tasks of strength, stamina, and cardiovascular fitness. Children born in October and November performed significantly better than the other kids. The study was designed, in part, to test whether birth month affects athleticism beyond the so-called relative age effect — given how age groupings are structured for youth sports leagues, kids born in certain months will enjoy a calendar-based advantage at certain junctures (more on this in a bit) — and it did, in fact, find an independent effect.
In addition to biologically enhancing a child's athleticism, getting pregnant in the spring can help ensure your kid is the biggest one on the team by taking advantage of the aforementioned relative age effect. This is a fancy name for the advantage children gain by being mere months older than their classmates owing to how age groupings are determined for youth leagues — an institutional bias that has been dissected in every form, from Canadian hockey players in Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers to European soccer players in Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's SuperFreakonomics.
For example, in the United States school begins in September — a centuries-old relic from the days when many children helped their families with the harvest — and most youth sports seasons coincide with the school year. So on a seventh-grade basketball team, the oldest members of the team would be born in September, October, and November, as players born earlier in the year would be members of the eighth-grade team. But those born the following April, six months later, would be on the same team as those born in September because they would still be in the seventh grade.
That's a six-month gap, and at a young age a six-month gap can make a world of developmental difference. Those born in the fall will, all else being equal, be taller, stronger and faster, relative to their peers, and may hit puberty sooner. Because they are more physically mature, coaches are more likely to notice them, leading to more playing time and more overall attention — an advantage advantage researchers refer to as the Matthew Effect. These privileged kids then continue to improve their game beyond the skills of younger, underdeveloped teammates.
For a given kid born at the "right" time of year who ends up being a good athlete, it would be very hard to suss out how much of that is attributable to the biological effects revealed by Sandercock's study, how much is attributable to the relative age effect, and how much is the big, murky category of "other stuff." We can say with some certainty, though, that in studies of young soccer players, basketball players, and baseball players, kids born at this time of the year are, statistically speaking, over-represented in competitive leagues.
Once you get to the pros, however, it appears that things get so competitive that the early advantages of having the right birth month are washed out, so don't expect your careful conception schedule to lead to a major-league contract (in fact, if you're having pre-conception visions of your kid being a pro athlete, you might have some other stuff to work through).
There are other big factors, of course, that influence kids' athletic development. Climate can have a profound effect. These statistical maps from Business Insider illustrate how a disproportionate number of professional athletes in the U.S. come from California, Texas and Florida. One might then conclude that warm weather benefits youth athletes because it allows for games and outdoor practice year-round. Culture can also have significant influence—as even the casual viewer of Friday Night Lights could tell you, in Texas, high school football is more religion than recreation, meaning talented young football players born there will enjoy certain inherent advantages that those born in less football-crazed places might miss out on.
Obviously, all these influences will only take you (or, more specifically, your kid) so far. Kevin Durant is not an NBA superstar just because he was born in September: Numerous other factors come into play—perhaps most importantly, genetics. If the average height in your family hovers around 5'5", it's unlikely your kid will be dunking anytime soon.
It's clear, then, that success in sports comes from an amalgamation of elements, most of which are beyond a parent's control. But given the crazy lengths so many parents will go to ensure their kids athletic success, and given how clear the benefits are to conceiving your (hopefully) athlete-to-be at the right time, it seems like a biological hack worth trying.
So, at the risk of mixing sports metaphors: This winter, the ball is in your court. Pull the proverbial goalie and swing for the reproductive fences.

Frankrikes utomeuropeiska områden (fr. France d'outre-mer) utgörs av de utomeuropeiska territorier som är de återstående resterna av det tidigare franska kolonialimperiet. Idag är det dock bara Nya Kaledonien som finns kvar på FN:s avkoloniseringskommittés lista över avhängiga territorier. Övriga områden har fått sin folkrättsliga status fastställd i demokratiska processer, men i Nya Kaledonien är processen av olika skäl ännu oavslutad.

Utomeuropeiska departement
Med den fjärde republikens nya författning 1946 gjordes fyra kolonier till utomeuropeiska departement (franska département d'outre-mer). Dessa är likställda med övriga departement i Frankrike och således integrerade delar av den franska staten (jämför Hawaii och Alaska inom USA). 1974 fick de även status som utomeuropeiska regioner (regions d'outre-mer). Därefter har den lokala autonomin utökats vid ytterligare fyra tidpunkter: vid den allmänna regionaliseringsreformen 1982 samt 2000, 2003 och 2007. Inom Europeiska unionen (EU) har de utomeuropeiska departementen statusen som yttersta randområden (outermost regions, OMR), vilket innebär att de tillhör EU.

 , Västindien
Efter att tillfälligt ha tillhört Sverige 1813–1814, blev Guadeloupe åter fransk koloni 1814.
 , Västindien
Fransk koloni sedan 1635.
 , Sydamerika
Under fransk kontroll sedan 1667, koloni 1817.
 , Indiska oceanen
Fransk koloni sedan 1654.
 , Afrika (ännu ej erhållit status som yttersta randområde inom EU)
Mayotte har lytt under Frankrike sedan 1843 och införlivades 1908 med kolonin Komorerna, som från 1912 styrdes från Madagaskar som då också var fransk koloni. 1946 blev Komorerna utomeuropeiskt territorium med ökat självstyre från 1961. I samband med Komorernas självständighet 1975 valde Mayotte efter folkomröstning att skiljas från Komorerna och stanna under Frankrike. 1976 infördes statusen territoriellt förvaltningsområde. Befolkningen på Mayotte röstade för att övergå till att bli ett departement under 2009 och erhöll denna status i mars 2011.

Korsika
Som region i egentliga Frankrike (France métropolitaine) intar ön Korsika i Medelhavet en särställning. Vid regionreformen 1982 fick ön större ekonomiska befogenheter än övriga regioner. 1991 fick Korsika särskild status som territoriellt förvaltningsområde (collectivité territoriale, se nedan) med en egen parlamentarisk församling och eget exekutivråd. Eftersom man trots detta inte fick någon egen lagstiftande makt, blev Korsika ingen regelrätt autonom region. 2001 blev det möjligt att lära ut korsikanska i skolan, en unik ställning för ett minoritetsspråk i Frankrike. 2003 avvisades ett förslag om ytterligare autonomi i en lokal folkomröstning.
 , Medelhavet
Efter att ha lytt under Genua var Korsika 1755–1769 en oberoende republik. 1789 införlivades ön med Frankrike.

Utomeuropeiska förvaltningsområden
Vid en grundlagsrevision 2003 gjordes utomeuropeiska förvaltningsområden (collectivités d'outre-mer) till enhetlig standard för alla bebodda territorier som inte var utomeuropeiska departement och regioner. Dessa styrs ungefär som övriga departement, men utan att vara införlivade med republiken Frankrike. De är alltså fortsatt avhängiga territorier, men på folkrättsligt legitim grund.

De utomeuropeiska förvaltningsområdena står utanför EU, klassificerade som utomeuropeiska länder och territorier. Invånarna är franska medborgare och därmed även EU-medborgare enligt Romfördraget och deltar i både franska val och EU-val. Flertalet använder euro utom Franska Polynesien, Nya Kaledonien och Wallis- och Futunaöarna som har en valutaunion med CFP-franc som gemensam valuta.

Före detta utomeuropeiska länder
 , Stilla havet
1842 blev Sällskapsöarna franskt protektorat och koloni 1881. Efter sammanslagningar bildades Franska Oceanien 1903. 1946 ändrades namnet till Franska Polynesien och territoriet fick status som utomeuropeiskt territorium (territoire d'outre-mer). 1958 fick man ökat självstyre varför statusen ändrades till utomeuropeiskt land (pays d'outre-mer).

Före detta utomeuropeiska territorier
 , Stilla havet
Öarna blev protektorat 1887. Efter en folkomröstning 1959, fick de status som utomeuropeiskt territorium 1961.

Före detta territoriella förvaltningsområden
 , Nordamerika
Franskt sedan åtminstone 1604. 1946 fick de status som utomeuropeiskt territorium och 1976 blev de Frankrikes femte utomeuropeiska departement. Inför konsolideringen av Europeiska gemenskaperna (EG) vid mitten av 1980-talet (se Europeiska enhetsakten) ville invånarna (liksom för övrigt grannen Grönland) stå utanför och öarna omvandlades 1985 till territoriellt förvaltningsområde.

Före detta arrondissement
Saint-Barthélemy och den franska delen av grannön Saint Martin utgjorde sedan 1963 ett gemensamt arrondissement i Guadeloupe. Efter en folkomröstning 2003, omvandlades de till utomeuropeiska förvaltningsområden 2007, och är således inte längre införlivat utan avhängigt franskt territorium.
 , Västindien
Efter att ha varit en svensk koloni från 1784,  införlivades Saint-Barthélemey med Guadeloupe 1878.
 , Västindien
1648 delades Saint Martin mellan Frankrike och Nederländerna.

Förvaltningsområde sui generis
Då Nya Kaledoniens status fortfarande var olöst vid förvaltningsreformen 2003, blev territoriet tills vidare ett s.k. förvaltningsområde sui generis (collectivité sui generis). Ställningen i förhållande till Frankrike och EU är identisk med den för de utomeuropeiska förvaltningsområdena.

 , Stilla havet
Nya Kaledonien blev fransk koloni 1853 och utomeuropeiskt territorium 1946. Den inhemska befolkningen kanakerna har strävat efter fullständig självständighet, men utgör en minoritet (ca 43 %) i sitt eget land. Efter en folkomröstning 1998 ändrades statusen till utomeuropeiskt land. Beslutet innebar att gradvis ökat självstyre skulle införas och att en ny folkomröstning skall hållas inom 15-20 år.

Utomeuropeiska territorier
Efter 2003 är det endast obebodda områden som har kvar statusen som utomeuropeiskt territorium.
  Franska sydterritorierna som består av Kerguelen, Îles Éparses och fler öar i Indiska oceanen och Adelie land (ensidigt anspråk, se Antarktisfördraget) i Antarktis

How not to rewrite history: Play on, Vienna
By Irish Examiner editorial
An alarming cultural and political craze in the closing years of this decade has been the enthusiasm for the kind of virtue signalling expressed in demands to sanitise history so as not to disturb sensitive students and enrage social justice warriors unable to accept reality.
They call for statues to be pulled down and avenues and buildings to be renamed.
They demand apologies and financial compensation from institutions that centuries on are in no way culpable for the sins of their predecessors.
Bizarrely, their next target could be the annual Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's New Year's Day concert which, its critics correctly say, began as a fixture in the city's cultural calendar in 1939 as a fundraising event to raise money for a Nazi party charity, thus keeping Vienna's pitiless gauleiter happy.
To which the thousands of people who enjoy the event might reply: So what?
Today's Vienna Philharmonic isn't responsible for the event's Nazi origins, and its music has nothing whatsoever to do with fascism.

News: Chambers want reassurances on HS2 reaching regions
By Tom Austen
Chambers of Commerce have joined together to call on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Phillip Hammond, to confirm his Government's commitment to the Eastern Leg of HS2.
Given a funding envelope of £55.7 billion in 2015 prices, the new North-South high speed train link should reach Birmingham in 2026 and Manchester and Leeds by 2033.
On the Eastern Leg of the Y network, the South Yorkshire HS2 station location was initially chosen as Meadowhall but a new option announced in July proposes that HS2 services between London and Sheffield would take a spur off the high speed line and travel directly to the existing Sheffield Midland station using the existing railway line.
A city centre station solution for Sheffield high speed services would allow the main HS2 line to be built east of the previously proposed route, following the M1 and M18 through Rotherham before heading through the Dearne Valley.
Five chambers, including Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, have called for speedy confirmation and delivery of the rail link between Birmingham and Leeds, via Sheffield and the East Midlands, and then north to Newcastle and Edinburgh.
The Secretary of State for Transport is considering David Higgins' July report in detail and will make an announcement on the full HS2 Phase 2 route later this year.
In a joint letter, the chief executives of five Chambers, said: "There are compelling economic reasons for improving connectivity between businesses in these key cities and regions.
"Research undertaken by KPMG in 2013 suggested that HS2 would deliver an additional £4.1bn of GDP output for the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire."
The letter describes progress on HS2 Eastern Leg as "a key tenet" of a "vision for a successful UK outside of the European Union."
It said: "The areas along the route are home to some of the UK's most dynamic and innovative firms, operating successfully in regional, national and international markets.
"These businesses are already growing. Improving linkages will unlock further growth, allowing them to exploit the benefits of agglomeration and help forge an economy that is balanced both in terms of geography and sector.
"Moreover, the increased productivity and competitiveness facilitated by HS2 Eastern Leg will not just bolster growth locally but will also support long-term international success against competitors in other countries that already benefit from high speed rail.
"The business community is fully committed to grasping the opportunities that HS2's Eastern Leg will bring. Plans are already being developed to increase connectivity within the regions in order to maximise the economic benefit of HS2 and to ensure it can be felt beyond the urban centres."
The five Chambers which were signatory to the letter were East Midlands Chamber, North East England, Leeds, Sheffield and Barnsley & Rotherham.

Q: A question about supremum Let $S$ be a set of non-negative real numbers that is bounded above and let $T=\{x^2:x\in S\}$.
Prove that if $u = \sup S$, then $u^2=\sup T$.
I think I need to show some of my work. First of all, it is obvious that $u^2$ is an upper bound of $T$ because $u\ge x$ for all $x\in S$, then $u^2\ge x^2$. Then I want to show for any upper bound $v$ of $T$, $v\ge u^2$. But I am stuck at here because what I thought it should be like this since $v$ is an upper bound of $T$, then $v\ge x^2$ for all $x\in S$, then $\frac vx \ge x$, the $\frac vx$ is an upper bound of $S$, so $\frac vx\ge u$, then $v \ge ux$, but then I cannot prove $v\ge u^2$.

A: $0 < x < u$ for all $x \in S$, which implies $0 < x^2 < u^2$ for all $x \in S$, so $u^2$ is an upper bound on $T$. Now we must prove it is the least upper bound.
Suppose that it is not the least upper bound, so for some number $\alpha < u^2$ we have $0 < x^2 < \alpha$ for all $x \in S$. Then, we have that $0 < x < \sqrt{\alpha}$ for all $x \in S$. But this contradicts the fact that $u$ is the least upper bound of $S$, because $\sqrt{\alpha} < u$. Therefore, $u^2$ must be the least upper bound on $T$.

A: $sup S=a$
Take any element from $y=x^2$ from T
Now as $x<a$ for $x\in S$ it follows $x^2<a^2$ for $x\in S$ (beacuase $x$ and $a$ are both positive.)
Therefore, $a^2$ is an upper bound from T
To show it is the least upper bound.
Proof by contradiction.
If not, let $a_1 $ is an upper bound of T such that $a_1<a^2$. Note: $a_1>0$ as all the terms of T are positive .But then it will follow that $\sqrt a_1 < a$ (beacuase $a^2$ and $a_1$ are both positive. ). Also $a_1$ is an upper bound will say $x^2<a_1$ for $x\in$S .i.e. same as saying $x<\sqrt a_1$ for $x\in S$.  Therefore, we have an upper bound $a_1$of S which is less than $a$, that contradicts that $a=sup S$

The transforming of agri-waste into a NEW amazing 100% home biodegradable polymer!
HemCell's NEW innovation relates to a specific usage and selection of a wordwide available Agricultural waste material and transforming it via a low cost & low tech process into a generic (home)biodegradable polymer that can be used by any injection molder or extruder on existing standard equipment and tools!
Mixed with for example PLA, it transforms PLA in a (home) compostable polymer for biodegrading or even composted in biomass for biogas production.
The 'window of opportunity' is for all products that now have a return or waste collection process such as glass, crates or plastic materials.
HemCell's new material eliminates the necessity and costs of having a waste return process in place.
Worldwide available in large volumes that do not interfere whatsoever with allocated agricultural land required for human or animal food production. The collection of this bio-material will be a 'side-product & side-income' for small farmers or corporation's in those regions around the globe.
HemCell Agricultural Waste: Virgin or waste, PLA and other plastics are available in large volumes. Blending the HemCell® bio-mass that forms the basis of all HEMCELL+® bio-polymers, strongly improves the materials characteristics of these materials, creating added value and extended application opportunities to current low value waste flows.
Contrary to common believe PLA is not 'home bio- degradable' but only 'Industrial bio-degradable via hydrolysis.' PLA is also very temperature sensitive due the fact that the 'Glass Transition temperature (Tg)' is very close to its 'Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT)' (50-65 °C). It is therefore not suitable for (fi) cups used for hot liquids. HemCell (in a 50% blend with PLA) increases the HDT to 90-95 °C Celsius.

Guest Post: Racism in India
By Shawn Marie Boyne
We are pleased to publish this guest post by Dr. Nafees Ahmad,LL.M, Ph. D. Professor Ahmad is an Indian national who holds a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in International Refugee Law and Human Rights from the Aligarh Muslim University of India.
Racism in India: Equality Constitutionalism and Lego-Institutional Response
The 20th century has witnessed an agenda consisting of Left and liberal Left advocacy of international human rights alongside the liberal internationalism and an entrenched anti-state rhetoric. One of the most important U.S. advocates of international human rights towards the end of the preceding century Louis Henkin opines: "ours is the age of rights". Therefore, human right is an inalienable part of equality constitutionalism across the geo-political spectrum. The pedigree of modern idea of human rights emanates from the 19th century to protect ethnic, racial and religious minorities and fight against racism and hate crimes. Minorities' treaties under League of Nations and instruments of International Labour Organization are the testimony to substantiate the world commitment to curb and eliminate racism in its all forms. Further, United Nations Organizations (UNO), other Inter-governmental Organizations along with many individuals of international standing like Eleanor Roosevelt (US) and Hansa Mehta (India) immensely contributed in promoting and propagating the philosophy of human right and gender equality as the core element in law-making.
Racism is a reality and it is being perennially practiced and blatantly bloated in all societies across the geo-political spectrum in World Wide Web of equality, liberty and fraternity. Racism attacks all-encompassing normative system and erodes all aspects of human values in life. Primarily, racism is the most callous and conspicuous negation of human equality ordained by the collective wisdom in divinities, spiritualties and mundanities. However, the citadels of racism are still alive and kicking in every nook and corner of the world and India is not an exception. Despite the fact, India has been a victim since its existential history of staggering stages of colonialism and imperialism whereunder racism was the inalienable part of governance trajectory. Though, today Indians in US, UK, Canada, Australia and other parts of the world are being subjected to racial crimes attributable to the emerging trends of far right-wing political discourse in these countries. Even then India is still indulges with this profane practice with impunity. India is blessed with great diversity consisting of 29 States (Provinces) and 7 Union Territories (Federally Administered Provinces). India promotes "unity in diversity" shibboleth and prides its multi-culturalism and pluralism. As per government record, there are five major races in India such as Australoid, Mongoloid, Europoid, Caucasian, and Negroid who get proportionate representation in all walks of national life in India.
Gender Equality and Constitution of India
The scenario of the present day state of gender inequalities in every walk of life is clearer than ever. Human rights are social institutions and concern the quality of social relationships, economic equities and Institutional Justicialism within the gamut of common heritage of humankind and Justicial Developmentalism. The existence of human rights encourages individuals to demand more and more for themselves with little regard for how these demands may be met or who may be expected to provide for them contrary to their ostensive onus and ontology. In the world of gender parity, the situation has attained appalling proportions as women perform more than 67% hours of work but eke out only 10% of world's income and own only 1% of the world's property. Women get 30-40% less than men for an equal volume of work despite the fact that they hold 10-20% administrative and managerial positions. They also make up 5% of the heads of states. But, unfortunately, 70% of the 1.2 billion people living in poverty are female. 60% of the 130 million children in the age group of 6-11 years, who do not go to school, are girls. The women constitute 67% of the world's 875 million illiterate adults and 3 out of 5 women are illiterate in South Asia. Globally speaking, there are 50% women out of all people living with HIV/AIDS. Approximately, 35% women worldwide have been subjected to either physical or sexual intimate partner violence or sexual violence by a non-partner at some stage of their lives. However, few national studies reveal that around 70% of women have been physically or sexually abused by their intimate partners.
The Constitution of India is a document of high endowments that bequests civil liberties and human freedoms to all Indians to lead their lives in peace and harmony. Articles 14 and 15 are the most important guarantees ever envisaged by the Constitution of India whereunder Right to Equality that addresses the issues of discrimination and provide equal protection of laws in India and Article 14 further confers the Right to Equality before the law and equal protection of laws throughout the territory of India and Article 15 prohibits the discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. However, the biggest irony against the menace of racism is that these rights are available to the citizens of India but only against the Indian State and not against the discrimination that is practiced and committed by private individuals. Moreover, Article 16 stipulates the equality of opportunity to all citizens of India. Further, Article 39 (a) gives rights relating to the means of livelihood sans discrimination.
There are slew of other legislations enacted under the Constitution of India exclusively designed to safeguard equality and protection against racial discrimination such as The Criminal law (Removal of Racial Discrimination Act, 1949), Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. In India, the instances of racial discrimination are manifested by resorting to utter some cusswords or swearwords like "Habshi (Carnivorous)", "Pagal (Crazy), "Kalia (Black)", "Monster", "Chutia (Moron)", "Chini-Mini (From China)" and "Chinkies (Chinese like)" against people from countries of Africa, Afro-Asia and North-East India. Therefore, in 2012 government of India recommended that all states notify the term "Chinki(es)" as an offence under The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and Section 153 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Constitution of India succors the country organize itself as a single geo-political entity wedded with the core principles of human rights, diversity, federalism, pluralism and multi-culturalism.
Racial Discrimination in India and International Law
The principle of non-discrimination is fundamental to international law in its all visages. The etiology of racism and racial hara-kiri is the sham similarity of the human body with the personality. This etiology of racism germinates a misconception that gestates and generates a compendium of conflicts of ethnic, gender, religious and sexual orientations. Individually, human body is blessed with a multitude of features and characteristics that are attributed to the human body based on these sham similarities. These attributions and imputations create impediments and mistrust among the human relationships in a diversity-driven society like India or elsewhere. Under International Law prohibition of racial discrimination has been ensured in all nine core international human rights treaties and International Court of Justice (ICJ) opined in Barcelona Traction Case (Belgium v. Spain, 1970) that "prohibition of racial discrimination" constitutes an erga omnes obligation (a legal obligation which all states have an interest in ensuring). Therefore, the 1965 UN Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) defines "racial discrimination" as any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. Non-discrimination and equality before the law and of the law, according to UNO, constitute fundamental principles of international human rights law. Therefore, since 1967 India is also a party to CERD and it cannot back out from its international human rights obligations under Article 53 of the 1969 UN Convention on Law Treaties (VLCT). Thus, principle of non-discrimination postulates that all states must treat their citizens, subjects and nationals with equality before the law and must provide equal protection of laws.
The constitutional consolidation of rights has immensely immortalized the idea of equality which ultimately internationalized the paradigm of equality as human right. In the capitalist paradigm that operates in the USA, equality as human right can be understood in terms of economic, social and cultural rights as well civil and political rights as "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The Fourteenth Amendment declares that equal protection to all person not simply to ex– slaves or black persons and the Equal protection clause could be used to protect the rights of other classes of citizens as well. Throughout the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century, the court consistently interpreted the fourteenth Amendment and other constitutional provisions not to require the equal treatment of races and of men and women.
Lego-Institutional Response to Racial Discrimination
National Human Rights Commission of India (NHRC) conducted a study that revealed 54% people from North-East India do not find New Delhi a safe and secure place to live in terms of ethnic tolerance. Whereas, 67% people from North-East faced ethnic and racial discrimination in New Delhi. The living and working conditions for North-East Indians in New Delhi and elsewhere in North India are horrible and inimical and in violation of sociological constitutionalism as propounded by the Supreme Court of India (SC) in the case of Karma Dorjee & Others v. Union of India & Others (December 14, 2016) whereby petitioner had alleged that people from north-eastern region, who move out of their states in search of better opportunities in studies and jobs, were subjected to racial taunts, hate crimes and violence on a daily basis due to their physical appearance at the hands of people of their own country.
The Ministry of Home Affairs having considered the magnitude of the racial and hate crimes against the people of North-East India in Delhi constituted a committee headed by Mr. M.P. Bezbaruah on February 05, 2014 to suggest suitable remedial measures to address the impugned issue of racism and hate crimes in India. The Bezbaruah Committee had submitted its report in 2014 whereunder it was recorded that 86 percent of migrated North-East Indians have faced discrimination and harassment in Delhi that had left an indelible and humongous psychological and physical impact upon them. The Bezbaruah Committee had made drastic recommendations to be incorporated in the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 to address this multi-dimensional problem of racial violence as under:
Legal Assistance Facilities: A panel of lawyers consisting of 50% women lawyers from North-East India for legal assistance such as Legal Awareness Training for representatives and vulnerable areas of North-East Indians.
Strengthening of Law Enforcement Agencies: Law enforcement agencies should be sensitized and trained including police personnel and minimizing the delays and quality of investigation, recruiting sufficient number of SC/ST/Minorities as police personnel from North-East India.
Special Police Initiative: The Fast Track Courts (FTCs) must be established in India to attend racial and hate crimes. North-East Special Police Unit should have the power of a Police Station and Special Police Squad supervised by the North East Special Police Unit should be created and a Special Helpline No. 1093 for youths from North-East must be established and synchronized with PCR 100 number and Data bank of all crimes against the people from North-East India.
Educating People about North-East India: The People of India and posterity must be educated about the history and culture of North-East India by introducing appropriate writings in the text books and NCERT should introduce certain aspects of the "Northeast Ethos" into the curriculum.
Creating Awareness: The Ministry of Information and Broadcast must give primacy to North-East in its media coverage. The resources of North-East must have as visible faces in the visual media. Media must be cautious while covering sensitive hate and racial issues. Moreover, tourism and indigenous games of North-East should be promoted while introducing new sport schemes for the region.
These recommendations were appreciated and accepted positively and an early enforcement thereof was assured by the Government of India. However, no implementation has seen the light of day even after two years. Hence, it is quintessential to implement these recommendations by enacting an Anti-racial Law to address the mounting derogatory and discriminatory attacks on people of different races in India. However, the Supreme Court of India desisted from passing any direction on the recommendation for amending the IPC by inserting two new provisions—Sections 153C and 509A–which was opposed by the Government of India on the ground that Sections 153A, 153B and 505(2) already exist as a part of the penal provision that address the situation of racial violence and hate crimes in India. Moreover, the Supreme Court took the cognizance of the suggestion put forward by the Government of India that the proposal was under examination and said "whether the law should be amended is for the Union government to decide in its considered assessment of the situation, the nature of the problem and the efficacy of existing provisions. A mandamus to legislate cannot be issued." Thus, SC has made the following substantial directions in the case:
To set up a three-member panel headed by a Joint Secretary-level officer with two other members to be nominated by the Union government for enhancing the sense of security and inclusion in the people of North-East India by addressing racial violence and hate crimes.
The panel shall have powers to ensure strict action in incidents of racial discrimination, racial atrocities and racial violence and suggesting measures to curb such hate and racial crimes.
To emplace the efficacious monitoring mechanism suggested by the Bezbaruah Committee in its report should be implemented and "should not like innumerable instances of its ilk, languish in dusty shelves of long forgotten archives".
The involvement of the law enforcement machinery is alone not sufficient to resolve the problem and stressed that mindsets have to be changed including in universities, colleges and educational institutions, places of work and in society.
The constitutional construction of constitutionalism on human rights instill a sense of pride among We, the People of India, but constitutionalization thereof is subjected to prejudices in every layer of state set-up, administrative apparatus and political paraphernalia of the country. Consequently, India has become an ivory tower of iniquitous social orders and Indian society stands stratified today on the ground of being a member of a particular social group or social origin or minority or religion or race or caste or political opinion and so on so forth. It is well-established fact that India is a land that cannot survive without the democracy of diversity and majesty of multi-culturalism. Since India has become a party to 1965 UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in 1967.Therefore, time has, indeed, come to have an all-compassing Anti-Racial Law to curb the menace of growing racial violence, hate crimes and xenophobia.

Very commendable piece of writing Sir, however a brief reference to the implication of UDHR and its two Covenants viz. ICCPR and ICESCR as also CEDAW and the like international legislations against racial discrimination and discrimination and atrocities against women and children, would be worthwhile to be mentioned.

I see your current class is full, or is already finished. How do I find out about the next one?
The absolute best way is to follow Hoop Elation on Facebook, as well as sign up for the somewhat monthly email newsletter (below). The latest information will come out through those two channels as soon as it's available.
What are other ways I can experience hoop dance in Madison?
Hoop/Flow Madison gets together just about every Sunday at the Madison Circus Space from 6-8 pm in the winter, and once a month in the summer. The flow jam is $5 drop in, and not only are all ages welcome (with adult supervision), but absolutely no experience is necessary. There are plenty of hoops to share if you don't have your own. The group is very friendly, and you are encouraged to ask questions and share knowledge, so everyone can get better together. There's also a very active Hoop/Flow Madison Facebook group.
Other groups meet in Madison and throughout Wisconsin too, and information can be found on the Hoop Madison- Other Groups page. Information about other hoop dance teachers in Madison can be found on the Hoop Madison- Instructors page. We are so lucky to have such wide range of options in Madison!
What is hoop dance, and why do I want to learn it?
Hoop dance invites creative expression through the use of a hoop. It starts from within, and takes you on a journey. Practicing hoop dance allows a person to step outside of the daily routine into a circle to find balance and creativity and a joyous experience. It's great to be open to all of the possibilities that life has to offer, and I believe that hoop dance can be a teacher in this regard.
So what is the difference between a Hula Hoop and a hoop?
A Hula Hoop is the plastic toy made by Wham-O that you are probably familiar growing up with as a child. However, Wham-O has registered and trademarked the name Hula Hoop. Therefore, hoops are everything else! A hoop can be made from black poly tubing, polypro, HDPE, and lots of other materials. Hoops are usually handmade and made to size, and can be decorated with a variety of beautiful tapes, left bare, or painted.
How did you learn all of those tricks?
Through a lot of different ways, but mainly by going to classes, workshops, and hoop gatherings myself. I like to learn hooping in person, and fortunately a lot of fantastic instructors have come to Madison, and participate in the hooping retreats that I go to, and a variety of regional, national, and international flow events. I learn an incredible amount just by going to hoop jam frequently and being inspired by my fellow hoopers. One great resource full of tutorials and photos is Hooping.org plus there is an enormous amount of cool hoop stuff on YouTube and Instagram.
Did you have prior dance experience before hooping?
No. But I've always loved music.
What's the history of hooping? Why do people hoop?
Wikipedia has a great section on hula hoops and hooping, which you can read about here.
How do I get a hoop in Madison?
The best way to get a hoop is to make your own! It's inexpensive and a fun project.
As for buying a hoop, head over to the Hoop Madison- Buy Hoops Locally page to find people who sell hoops in Madison.

Whatever Happened to Spider Baby Jane by Tim Murr
St. Rooster Books
Jane was a normal fourteen-year-old girl. She loved art, heavy metal, and horror movies. Her upbringing had some rough roads, but the only real mystery was the identity of her father.
The answer arrived when her grandmother got out of prison with a heart full of Hell and mind for revenge.
The first new fiction from Tim Murr, award-nominated author of The Gray Man, Neon Sabbath, and My Head is Full of Black Smoke, since 2020 is a mean slab of Splatterpunk action horror.
Jeffery X Martin, author of BLACK FRIDAY and HUNTING WITCHES has called Murr the "D Boone of horror" and his stories, "short exploratory surgeries, deep cuts exposing the stinking, poverty-stricken heart of hell."
Ryan B.
Tim Murr's Triumphant Return
Spider Baby Jane is a horror obsessed teenager with the power to talk to spiders and other animals. She's from a long bloodline of psychics, but unlike the ancestors she hasn't met, Jane is a protector, not a murderer. That all changes when her Grandmother is released from prison and comes back to take revenge of Jane's family. Full of horror homages, Whatever Happened to Spider Baby Jane is a fucked-up thrill ride. Come for the psychic battles and stay for the armies of spiders.
Jeffery X.
Violence. Revenge. Bugs. Damn.
Tim Murr's first new piece of horror fiction in two years, "Whatever Happened to Spider Baby Jane," is a dizzying conglomeration of horror movie lore, despicable villains, and brutal violence. Taking place in Tennessee, "WHTSPJ" runs Southern thru-lines into a plot that feels like a secret piece of small-town history. Skeletons in the family closet come out to play while the most innocent character, Spider Baby Jane (the Jack Hill movie reference is completely intentional), is forced to use powers she barely understands to fight her way through and protect those closest to her. Murr delivers the story in a mad rush with quickly-paced events and terse bits of prose. One can imagine Murr telling the story in a caffeine-fueled rush from across the dirty table at an all-night diner somewhere off of I-40. Revenge comes in many forms in "WHTSPJ," and one gets the feeling there could be more stories coming about this fictional family. Fans of Murr's previous work know what to expect here, and Murr does not disappoint.
