Club Atlético Lanús () is an Argentine sports club from the Lanús district of Greater Buenos Aires. Founded in 1915, the club's main sports are football and basketball. In both sports, Lanús plays in Argentina's top divisions: Primera División (football) and Liga Nacional de Básquet (basketball). Domestic football major titles won by the club include two Primera División championships, the Copa Bicentenario and one Supercopa Argentina. At international level, Lanús has won one Copa CONMEBOL, and one Copa Sudamericana.

Apart from football, Lanús hosts many other sports such as athletics, gymnastics, martial arts, handball, field hockey, roller skating, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and weightlifting. Besides, the club has a futsal team in Colombia that was founded in 2011.

History

Origins and foundation

In 1854 Anacarsis Lanús arrived from France and acquired the lands where he would later establish the city of Lanús, one of the biggest suburbs of Greater Buenos Aires. Two institutions were named "Lanús" by that time. One of them was Lanús Athletic Club, which took part of the 1897 Argentine Primera División championship although the club then abandoned the tournament. The other club was Lanús United (predecessor of current Club Atlético Lanús) which participated in the Copa de Competencia, organised by dissident Federación Argentina de Football in 1913 and 1914.

On 3 January 1915, a new club was established from the merging of two institutions, Lanús United (that was in a desperate financial situation) and Club El Progreso. Miguel Usaray was designed as president, the first in the history of the club. In an assemble held on 27 January 1915, the name "Club Atlético Lanús" was officially established.

Debut in Primera: the 1920s

The club began to play its matches in División Intermedia (the second division of Argentine football league system by then) at Lanús United old stadium, located in Margarita Wield and General Deheza streets. In 1919 the club got promotion to the top division, Primera División, after beating Argentino de Quilmes. In the first division, Lanús played its first games in the official association, then switching to dissident Asociación Amateurs de Football (AAmF), where the team joined on 8 August 1920, when the squad was defeated by Racing Club by 1–0. That first season in the top division Lanús finished 11th of 20th.

During successive years, Lanús did not achieve great campaigns in Primera, even finishing last in 1923. That season the squad only achieved two wins and lost 14 games of 20. In 1926 Lanús finished 6th and the 1927 season the team finished 3rd to San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors. Lanús earned 50 points with 22 wins over 33 matches played, being defeated 5 times.

On 24 February 1929 Lanús opened its new stadium in the intersection of Héctor Guidi and General Arias streets. The stadium (with wood stands as it was usual for that time) was built on a 50,000 m2 land given by the British-owned company Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway ("Ferrocarril del Sud". Then president of the club, Silvio Peri, made the arrangements to get the cession did not have any cost for the institution, at least for the first years. On 24 March 1929 Lanús played its first match there facing Platense, defeating it by 5–2.

The '30s and '40s
In 1931 football became professional in Argentina. Lanús did not make a good campaign, finishing penultimate achieving only 22 points, 28 less than champion Boca Juniors. One year later the club inaugurated a new grandstand in its stadium. The first version of the Lanús Anthem, composed by Domingo Ilvento (music) and Daniel Cao (lyrics) was also released.

In 1933 founding member Miguel Iguzguiza made the arrangements to acquire the lands where the new headquarters would be built, on José C. Paz avenue (current 9 de Julio avenue). This was approved in a meeting held on 23 December. One year later the Association obliged both Club Lanús and rival team Talleres de Remedios de Escalada to join in order to play the tournament under the name "Unión Talleres-Lanús", threatening them to be relegated if they did not accept. This fusion was ended in 1935 when both clubs played again separately.

Some of the most notable players of those years were Atilio Ducca (the most capped player in Lanús' history with 291 games). In 1939 forward Luis Arrieta came to the club, scoring 31 goals during his first season with the club. Arrieta was also the top-scorer in 1943 along with Ángel Labruna (River Plate) and Raúl Frutos (Platense). Arrieta would later become the all-time top scorer of Lanús, with 120 goals.

Lanús remained in Primera until 1949 when the team was relegated after a controversial decision from the Association. At the end of the tournament, Boca Juniors was placed last and Lanús penultimate. On 8 December Boca smashed Lanús by 5–1, which finished last along with Huracán. In order to define which team would be relegated, Lanús and Huracán had to play a relegation series. Huracán won the first game 1–0 and Lanús took revenge by 4–1 in the second match so a third game was played. With a partial score of 3–3 the referee awarded a penalty kick to Lanús. The Huracán players, in disagreement with the decision, abandoned the field being the match suspended. The Argentine Association not only did not punished Huracán but it decided to play a new match. During that fourth game the referee did not award a penalty kick to Lanús while Huracán was winning the match by 3–2. As a result, the Lanús players left the field (as their rivals had done before). But the Association decided to punish Lanús relegating the club to Primera B.

Return to Primera

After the controversial decision made by the AFA, Lanús played the 1950 season in the second division. With still 1 fixture to play, Lanús won the championship when the team defeated Argentinos Juniors by 3–1 therefore promoting to Primera División. In Primera B, Lanús played 22 matches with 15 wins and 3 losses. The team achieved large victories over El Porvenir (5–1), Colón (4–2), Temperley (4–1 and 4–0), Argentinos Juniors (4–0), Unión de Santa Fe (6–1) and Nueva Chicago (6–1). The line-up for the game that set up the return to Primera was: Alvarez Vega; Daponte, Mercado; Vargas, Strembel, Vivas; Contreras, Gil, Pairoux, Florio, Moyano. Former Boca Juniors coach Mario Fortunato led the team to the title.

"The Globetrotters"

Back in the top division, Lanús would be the sensation of 1951 championship, finishing the first round in the 1st place along with Independiente. Forward José Florio was the top scorer with 21 goals, having been sold to Italian club Torino for a record $ 1,500,000. The club later used the money to build a gym.

Lanús finished 5th in 1954 and 1955. One year later Lanús would achieve its best performance in Primera División until then, finishing 2nd. to River Plate. Due to an outstanding line of forwards (that scored 49 goals in 30 games) and their skills with the ball, that squad was nicknamed The Globetrotters honoring the famous basketball team. The team suffered a lot of injuries all season long, with only Dante Lugo playing all matches. The usual team was Vega; Prato, Beltrán; Daponte, Hector Guidi, Nazionale; Carranza, Lugo, Alfredo Rojas, Urbano Reynoso, Moyano.

The Globetrotters thrashed their rivals with large victories over Argentinos Juniors (4–0), Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata (5–3), San Lorenzo (4–0) and Huracán (4–2). Nevertheless, the team was beaten by 3–1 by River Plate, that would be later the champion. River Plate squad had players with less individual skills than Lanús', but they were more experienced and those qualities helped them to get the championship at the end of the season.

The '60s and '70s

After some very irregular performances in Primera División, Lanús was relegated in 1961. The team finished 12th of 24th but it was relegated (along with Los Andes) due to the league system calculated the average during the last three championships (1959, 1960, 1961).

Three years later Lanús won the Primera B title, returning to Primera División. The two forwards of the team, Manuel Silva and Bernardo Acosta, soon got recognition due to the famous "wall pass" they did together, being nicknamed "Los Albañiles" ("The Construction Workers).

In 1966 Héctor Guidi, one of the most notable players in club's history, left football. Three years later Acosta would be transfer to Sevilla. Manuel Silva moved to his new club Newell's Old Boys in 1970, finishing with the Albañiles era. That same year the team was relegated to the second division (along with Unión de Santa Fe) after finishing 7th of 7 in the "Torneo reclasificatorio".

In 1971 Guidi became manager and Lanús started a new season in Primera B. The team made a great campaign winning a new title in second division and therefore promoting to Primera División. Lanús played a total of 28 games, winning 17 with 4 losses. The squad scored 68 goals and received 31. Unfortunately for the club, the tenure of Lanús on 1972 Primera División season was the worst in its history, being relegated again at the end of the championship.

The worst crisis
Four years later, Lanús returned to Primera after winning the promotion tournament. Once more, the team remained a very short time in Primera so Lanús was relegated after the 1977 season. Lanús was relegated after a controversial decision by penalty kicks in a match against Platense. After 20 penalties shot by all outfield players, it was the goalkeepers' turn. The Lanús goalkeeper shot first, but missed. It was the Platense goalkeeper's turn, but instead, Platense striker Miguel Ángel Juárez took it, breaking the rules. The referee allowed the goal, and Lanús were relegated illegitimately. The club reclaimed, but the Argentine football association did not respond.

In Primera B Lanús had a very poor season and was eventually relegated to the Third Division (Primera C). With debts of over US$2 million, the club faced its worst crisis. By 1979 the club only had 2,000 members facing its first season in the Third Division. The political groups linked with the club's debts decided to forget its differences with the club and helped the club face forward.

Lanús won the 1981 Primera C title various fixtures before the season ended. The club, with help from the fans, was promoted to the Second Division once again having more than 10,000 members. In 1984 the team reached the semifinals of the promotion playoff to the First Division, when the team had to face Racing Club. In the first leg, Racing Club beat Lanús 2–0. In the second leg, played in Independiente's stadium, the referee gave Racing Club a controversial penalty kick after disallowing a Lanús goal. Racing Club scored a goal, but the match was eventually suspended because of Lanús' fans. The match was continued at Atlanta's stadium some days after, and Lanús were down 2–1 after dominating the game. The referee, Emilio Misic, mistakenly gave the final whistle 5 minutes before the end of regulation. The Racing Club players already started celebrating, so the referee used that excuse not to reverse the decision. Lanús was once again disadvantaged because of a referee error, therefore losing the series and failing to gain promotion to the First Division.

Already having more than 25,000 members, the team was promoted to the Second Division in 1986. With Miguel Ángel Russo as manager, the team returned to the First Division after 13 years. Thanks to the team's goalkeeper, Alcides Herrera, the team beat Quilmes in the finals of the promotion playoff. The club also started to repair the old stadium made of wood. Lanús made a poor campaign in Primera División being relegated to Primera B Nacional (the second division since 1986). The club's executives decided to keep Miguel Ángel Russo as manager, regardless of relegation.

The resurrection: the 1990s

Lanús returned to the top division on 24 May 1992, when more than 30,000 supporters saw how Lanús beat Deportivo Maipú 2–0 winning the 1991–92 Primera B Nacional title. The line-up for the final was Ojeda, Gómez, Agüero, Mainardi, González; H. Enrique, Kuzemka, Schurrer, Angelello; Gambier, Villagrán, with Russo as manager. At the end of the season, Lanús had totalized 57 points in 42 games, with 21 wins and 6 losses, scoring a total of 64 goals and receiving 34.

The good campaign of the team during the 1993 Apertura allowed it to qualify for the Copa CONMEBOL, where Lanús participated for the first time in an international tournament. The team was eventually eliminated by San Lorenzo in the quarter-finals. On 1 October, Ariel Ibagaza made his debut for the team, where he and Hugo Morales formed a midfield duo highly praised by Lanús' fans.

In 1995 Héctor Cúper took charge of the team at the start of the Apertura. Lanús finished 3rd by goal difference and points. The next year turned out to be one of the club's most important. Lanús brought in Claudio Enría from Newell's and Gonzalo Belloso. In the Clausura, Lanús eventually finished 3rd. In the second spell of the year, the club brought in Oscar Mena, Gustavo Falaschi and Gustavo Siviero. Lanús had to face two tournaments at once for the first time in their history, the local tournament and the Copa CONMEBOL. In the local tournament, they finished 3rd once again.

International success

In 1996 Lanús won the Copa CONMEBOL, a tournament created in 1992. The team eliminated Bolívar in the first stage (4–1, 0–1), then passed Guaraní (2–0, 6–2). In semi-finals defeated Rosario Central (3–0, 3–1) reaching the finals against Independiente Santa Fe of Colombia. In the first leg, Lanús won 2–0. In the second leg, Lanús lost 1–0, resulting in an aggregate score of 2–1, which made Lanús champion. It was Lanús' first major and international title. The line-up for the final match was: Roa; Serrizuela, Falaschi, Siviero, Bresen; Mena, Cravero, Ibagaza, Coyette; Enría, Ariel López. With Mario Gómez as head coach, Lanús also reached the cup final in 1997 but was defeated by Brazilian team Atlético Mineiro (1–4, 1–1).

In 1998, Lanús finished 2nd once more with 40 points behind Vélez Sarsfield, which to date being the club's best campaign in terms of points. Four years later Lanús had to play a relegation playoff versus Huracán de Tres Arroyos, winning 2–1 in Platense's stadium and drawing 1–1 in their stadium. With an aggregate score of 3–2 in favor, Lanús remained in Primera División.

First national title
In 2003 the stadium repairs were finished. Three years later, with a team based from its youth divisions, Lanús was the runner-up of Torneo Clausura. In 2007 the club got qualification for the 2nd time in a row to the Copa Sudamericana and -for the first time in club's history- to the Copa Libertadores.

Lanús also won its first Primera División title, the 2007 Apertura, being coached by Ramón Cabrero. Lanús celebrated in the 18th fixture with a 1–1 tie to Boca Juniors at La Bombonera. The line-up for that match was: Bossio; Graieb, Ribonetto, Hoyos, Velázquez; Blanco, Pelletieri, Fritzler, Valeri; Acosta, Sand. The squad totalized 38 points in 19 matches, with Sand as the topscorer of the tournament with 15 goals.

The next year Lanús participated in the 2008 Copa Libertadores, finishing unbeaten in the first stage. In the second round, Lanús was eliminated by Mexican Atlas. In domestic competitions, Lanús once again finished sub-champions of 2011 Clausura, behind Vélez Sarsfield.

Successful 2010's decade
Lanús qualified to play the 2012 Copa Libertadores, where the squad got its biggest win in international competitions in history (6–0 against Paraguayan Olimpia in La Fortaleza). The team led by Gabriel Schürrer won its group and reached the round of 16, where it was eliminated by Vasco Da Gama in penalty shootout.

In 2013, Lanús obtained its second international title, the Copa Sudamericana after beating Brazilian club Ponte Preta in the finals.

In May 2016, Lanús won its second league title, the 2016 Primera División after thrashing San Lorenzo by 4–0 in the final match played at River Plate stadium. The goals were scored by Junior Benítez, Miguel Almirón, José Sand and Lautaro Acosta. The line-up for the match was Fernando Monetti; José Luis Gómez, Gustavo Gómez, Diego Braghieri,Maximiliano Velázquez; Román Martínez, Iván Marcone, Miguel Almirón; Oscar Benítez, José Sand,Lautaro Acosta. The squad was coached by Jorge Almirón.

On 31 October 2017, the club advanced for the first time in its history to the 2017 Copa Libertadores final, after completing a historic feat, defeating fellow Argentine club River Plate by 4–3 on aggregate in the semi-finals, when they were out 3–0 before the end of the first half in the second leg. They lost the final to Grêmio in both legs.

The News for May 20th, 2022
Welcome to the Hooniverse News! As always, this is a weekly recap of the biggest stories in the automotive industry without the fluff or bull. This week: BMW brings back the legendary CSL name on a car that's still ugly, Nissan reveals competitive pricing for the 2023 Z, Genesis GV60 shows us how luxury EVs are done for roughly $60k, Hoonigan shows off Ken Block's wild ride for Pikes Peak, plus your news for the week.
BMW is celebrating 50 years of M by resurrecting one of its most famous nameplates – CSL. The Coupe Sport Light (or Competition Sport Light) name has only been used two other times in history: first with the legendary BMW 3.0 CSL in 1972 and then the E46 M3 CSL in 2003. For a third time, CSL returns. But this time it's ugly.
And it's a shame because BMW M went all out with the 2023 BMW M4 CSL. By "fusing old school racing passion with innovative technology", they've created a wicked fast M4 that is officially the fastest production BMW around the Nordschleife. A time of 7:20.2 puts it in Porsche 911 (991) GT3 RS and Ferrari 488 GTB territory, according to FastestLaps. The M4 CSL's technical highlights include 40 more horsepower over the M4 Comp for a total of 543 horsepower, RWD only, a weight reduction of 240 pounds, model-specific suspension, and ten-stage track-tuned traction control.
The lack of rear seats, a plethora of carbon fiber inside and out, forged light-alloy wheels and suspension components, and reduced sound insulation go a long way in reducing curb weight to 3,640 lbs. By modern BMW standards it earns the "lightweight" part of its name. With its impressive power having to move around slightly less weight, 0-60 mph happens in 3.6 seconds, 0-120 mph takes 10.5 seconds, and its top speed is electronically limited to 191 mph, according to them.
Other upgrades include a CSL-specific front-end strut brace made of cast aluminum, sport exhaust with a titanium muffler, new engine mounts, M Carbon ceramic brakes, and significantly enhanced cooling with a high and low temperature circuit for various conditions. The car is purpose built for extreme driving conditions, whether it be on the Green Hell, fun mountain roads, or the 9 yard drive from the delivery truck to the covered trailer taking it to storage for the rest of its life.
It's a special occasion any time a CSL comes along. The current crop of M cars is easily the most polarizing in the brand's 50 years. Some designs were controversial over the years, but nothing comes close to the snout on the M3/M4 and whatever the hell they're doing with other cars. But if its performance and driving characteristics live up to the legendary nameplate, this might all be worth it. We'll just have to wait till the world's press can get behind the wheel and make videos driving all three CSLs back to back to back. The M4 CSL will be a limited run of just 1,000 units globally. Pricing starts at $140,895 including destination.

2023 Nissan Z starts at $41,015
The embargo lifted on drive impressions for the 2023 Nissan Z this week, and along with that came official US pricing. Nissan has priced it very competitively against much of its perceived competition with its MSRP starting at $41,015 with destination charges included.
That money gets you the Z Coupe Sport with either the 9-speed auto or 6-speed manual. It still comes with the 400 horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and its killer looks. But stepping up to the Z Coupe Performance at $51,015 gets you a limited-slip differential, a front splitter and rear decklid spoiler, 19″ wheels, and leather seating among other interior features. Based on reviews I've seen so far, the Performance trim is what most driving enthusiasts will want unless the plan is to modify it anyway. Meanwhile, the Z Coupe Proto option is a launch-only option limited to 240 units for the US market at $54,015. It has a special plague as well exclusive interior and exterior features paying homage to the prototype that gave us a first glance at the car in 2020.
At this price, it basically undercuts its main rival, the GR Supra, by a few grand at every trim level. But comparing base for base, the Supra is a turbocharged four-cylinder. At the top end, the Supra is most likely a nicer place to spend time and is more powerful. Looking across the Pacific, the Mustang and Camaro offer a lot of performance for that kind of money. If you're spending upwards of $54k on a Z or $55k on a Supra, the Mustang Mach 1 is only a grand more. But from the looks of it, the Nissan Z isn't meant for people who compare specs and nothing else. It's meant for those who want a true Z experience in 2022. And it seems Nissan has delivered.

Genesis GV60 priced from ~$60k
Genesis is beginning a slow rollout of their first EV, the GV60, in select markets in the US. California, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York will get first dibs until the rest of the country eventually gets it. Sales have commenced with an MSRP of $59,985 including destination charges for the GV60 Advanced AWD and $68,985 for the GV60 Performance AWD.
Both specs are loaded and offer decent range for a luxury EV. The GV60 Advanced features a 74kW front/160kW rear electric motor setup for 314 horsepower. A 77.4 kWh battery allows a driving range of around 248 miles. A plethora of driver safety and assistance tech (basically everything they could throw at it), 20″ alloy wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, full leather seating, adjustable ambient lighting, acoustic laminated side windows, a 12.3″ infotainment screen with navigation, a HUD, Bang & Olufsen premium audio, and a literal shit ton of other features come as standard. There's even a new Face Connect system which uses the driver's stupid ugly face as a key.
Step up to the GV60 Performance for $9k more and the front motor is upgraded to 160kW in addition to the rear motor for a total of 429 horsepower or 483 horsepower in Boost Mode. Driving range dips slightly to 235 miles but it benefits from electronically controlled suspension, limited slip differential, and monobloc front brakes. The interior is upgraded with Nappa leather seating surfaces, microfiber suede headliner and pillars, heated rear seats, and 21″ alloy wheels.
So what the Genesis GV60 lacks in class-leading range or face-melting performance, it makes up with an extensive list of comfort and tech features. But for me personally, it's the one and only Genesis design I don't love.

ICYMI: Hoonipigasus
This week our friends at Hoonigan unveiled a Porsche 911 that's destined for Pikes Peak with some minor modifications. And one of the weirdest names imaginable. The "Hoonipigasus" will be piloted by none other than Ken Block during the legendary hill climb on June 26th. Jeff covered it briefly here, but if you want to read more, check out the Hoonigan blog right here.

I dropped off my 1977 Lyman at the California Automobile Museum for their upcoming exhibit on the history of EVs which will occupy the space most recently used for their lowrider exhibit. The result may be a bit puzzling for visitors until things are redone…

They just need to add an S to the sign, then it becomes the Art of Slowriding.
Off topic – what's the status of your FSAE monocoque?
How good / bad is the condition?
We might be interested in running some physical tests to compare, if we can dig up the old tech inspection documentation.
skitter@designjudges.com
As a followup for everyone, skitter and I discussed this but I'm not prepared to hand over the monocoque for potentially destructive testing, as I'm still suffering from the delusion that I'll get the car running again some day. It is, sadly, far from being my most hopeless project.

So the GV60 is the third kid of the conglomerate, sister of Ioniq 5 and EV6? Surprising how tame the design is, but it's not ugly to my eyes. I faintly remember this being presented with yellow paint earlier, certainly a fresher look.
I have been struck by a cold for weeks, actually, getting done a lot of the small things on my list that usually fall between the cracks. Finally replacing the head unit on the little Hyundai was one of these tasks. Unfortunately, the new Android based pad doesn't have sound either…oops. So maybe there's an external amp anyway, or the issue have been the speakers all the time. Or maybe I'm just a monkey in a man's body and who needs music anyway?

I think I figured out the brake issue on the Tundra. The parking brake cable comes back to a pivot on the rear axle that splits the force to each side. The left side cable is taught the right has slack. I'm guessing the pivot is not moving freely enough.
Meanwhile the struts on the Boxster continue to degrade so I really need to get the Tundra fixed so I can get the struts replaced. I'm assuming that when I start poking around under the Boxster I'll find some other worn parts and it'll stay on the jack stands for a while.

After forcing the flat battery in the 944 back to like 3V using a lab supply at 150mA limit, the not-really-smart-charger approved of its presence and charged it. These thingies need an override button: "Trust me, this is a flat battery, please charge it for five hours at low current ". I'd be happy to redo that a couple of times, instead of removing the battery from the car (can't put the lab supply next to the car).
Yeah modern smart chargers can be a pain. I've got one that will start to charge a really dead battery and then after a couple of minutes or an hour, it will stop charging and the screen will alternate between BAD and BAT. What I have found is that if I disconnect and reconnect it will start charging again, sometime that was enough to make it fully charge and other times I've had to restart it a couple of times until it is happy enough to charge it completely.
Another trick that they actually mention in the manual for one of my chargers is to hook it up to another battery so that it sees enough voltage to start charging and then disconnect that second battery to let in finish charging. I do wonder if connecting a 9v battery would be enough to fool at least some of those smart chargers into starting a charge.
It's so odd how the word "smart" gets flung out in product design, achieving the opposite.
A friend sold a boat with a "dumb" charger. The new owner forgot it was switched on, and the boat interior is under a millimeter of soot now – I see the safety aspect, and the smarties work well for continuous maintenance charging: mine wakes up once a week or so, checks the voltage, and no either falls back in sleep mode or runs a tickle charge cycle. Great stuff, two button interface.
It's just that they don't cover the entire spectrum of use cases a "typical owner of batteries that require a charger" will face.
Fair enough, I guess it makes sense to have maintenance chargers be the smart ones.

The Buick still needs it's ABS light investigated but the Honda CM250C got anew battery, a new horn (neatly indexed with a thin washer and a wave washer) and it's first oil change in decades. Now to insure, register and enjoy 60 MPG. This is in sharp contrast to the truck which got 8.7 MPG while towing a camper with overdrive off and 15 mpg light with overdrive on. It also needs gas because I'm renting an excavator and need it to tow.

Obama Has Power but Risks Republican Wrath Gaining Mideast Peace
Ira Chernus,
If anyone wondered who calls the shots on Israeli policy toward the Palestinians, the recent conflict in Gaza should end the discussion. Now "it is clear who is boss." The highly respected Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer wrote those words in the first days of the fighting, when, as he put it, there was "a clear American green light for Israel's operation." Israel could not have started its onslaught without permission from Barack Obama.
With startling suddenness, though, the light from Washington turned red. A cease-fire was announced much faster than anyone expected, and Israel maintained it despite rockets fired from Gaza just hours after it took effect, which once would have quickly triggered another Israeli onslaught. Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi is getting most of the public credit for the lasting cease fire.
But insiders know better. Essam el-Haddad, Morsi's foreign policy adviser, confirmed that the US stepped in "whenever there was a point at which there would be a need for further encouragement and a push to get it across. . . . trying to send clear signals to the Israeli side that there should not be a waste of time and an agreement must be reached. They have really been very helpful in pushing the Israeli side."
Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reported how it worked:
"[Secretary of State Hillary] Clinton activated her power of persuasion in order to make clear to the Israeli premier that adopting the Egyptian draft was the best course of action. US President Barack Obama also pushed the issue in a few telephone calls with the Israeli prime minister. The American message was clear: Adopting Egypt's cease-fire draft was much the preferred choice."
Netanyahu's office pretty much confirmed this account when it issued an official announcement saying that the prime minister "acceded to his [Obama's] recommendation to give the Egyptian cease-fire proposal a chance." Obama apparently "extracted Israeli concessions without an ounce of public pressure," as Jewish American journalist Ron Kampeas noted.
In fact, Obama's public face seemed totally "pro-Israel." He told the world that missiles flying into Israel from Gaza were the one and only cause of the conflict. He repeated the words that the US mass media turned into an almost sacred mantra: "There's no country on Earth that would tolerate missiles raining down on its citizens from outside its borders" – as if that alone explained why Gazans were dying once again. Never once did the president mention the root cause of the tragic situation: Israel's ongoing blockade of Gaza.
And when he acted swiftly to bring the Israelis to heel, he used the Egyptian president as his front man, hiding his own hand quite successfully.
Why would the public Obama be so different from the private one? The obvious answer is that his public words and actions are for consumption back home. Like so many presidents before him, he's afraid to say or do anything in public that might be labeled as "anti-Israel."
Look what happened in 2009. Obama briefly tried to force Israel to stop expanding its settlements in the West Bank; when the Israelis refused, the POTUS quickly backed down. A progressive chorus of dismay chanted that Netanyahu controlled US policy, that Obama was a mere puppet of the Israelis.
There was plenty of evidence to the contrary at the time. Now the sudden cease-fire in Gaza clinches the case: Obama was never forced to back down by the Israelis. The president changed his tune and acceded to Netanyahu in '09 because of political pressure on the home front.
It seems he is still very sensitive to such pressure, at least in his public persona. Who brings the pressure?
The traditional answer is "the Jewish vote." But we know from Election Day exit polls that 73 percent of Jews support Obama's policies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and nearly as many want him to propose a specific plan for a two-state solution, even if it means publicly disagreeing with Israel. These findings are consistent with other polls during Obama's presidency. So he does not have to worry much about Jewish support.
Nor does he have to worry much about Jewish money, since most Jewish contributors to the Democrats are liberals who are pro-Israel but also pro-peace.
Is it the Christian Zionists? I doubt it. As an organized group they get little press and make little splash. They do have some clout in Washington, but not enough to make Obama fear them.
Some say it's just the general tide of public opinion. The mass media constantly promote the myth of Israel's insecurity: Israel is an innocent victim surrounded by vicious Arabs who are all eager to destroy the Jewish state. When violence breaks out, the president ritually recites the myth, too. It's not surprising that so many Americans believe it.
Polling during the latest conflict confirmed the power of this myth: Americans who took sides favored Israel by a wide margin. In a CNN poll, respondents supported Israel by a margin of 4.5 to 1. More than twice as many saw Israel's attack on Gaza as justified, compared with those who found it unjustified. In a Huffington Post poll Israel won out by a 4 to 1 margin. Nearly twice as many supported Israel's latest attack as opposed it.
Nothing new there – except that for the first time, as far as I know, the polls broke down their results into demographic groups. So now we have statistical evidence of something else that observers of the US political scene have known for a very long time: Republicans are far more likely than others to favor Israel and support its violence against Palestine.
Averaging the two polls, we find that 73 percent of Republicans, 43 percent of independents and only 37 percent of Democrats sympathize with Israel. Seventeen percent of Democrats, 10 percent of independents and only 3.5 percent of Republicans sympathize with the Palestinians. Sixty-nine percent of Republicans, 52 percent of independents and only 35 percent of Democrats supported the Israeli attack on Gaza or saw it as justified. Thirty-seven percent of Democrats, 21 percent of independents, and only 12 percent of Republicans opposed it or thought it unjustified.
The rest of the demographic data tells the same story. Men, whites, and older people (dare I say "Romney voters"?) are most likely, by far, to take Israel's side.
Why Republicans tilt so strong toward Israel's anti-Palestinian stance is a long story. For now, let's just say that birds of a right-wing feather stick together.
This leaves Obama in a bind. His demand for a Gaza cease-fire is a signal that he still wants to be the president who finally forges an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. With Israeli elections coming up, he may have more leverage than ever. Israelis know how much their nation depends on the US, for military aid but even more for diplomatic support; without US backing, Israel would be isolated in the international community.
Israeli columnist Shmuel Rosner, a perceptive observer of US – Israel relations, once wrote that if Obama "signaled that Israel could no longer take unconditional US support for granted, Mr. Netanyahu's domestic support would quickly evaporate." The US president may now demand, in private, real conditions for his public display of unconditional support.
But this public-private split is a fine line to walk; it's awfully easy to fall off. If Obama aims to force the Israelis to make peace, he'll eventually have to put public pressure on them. He'll have to start saying that the Israelis bear at least some of the blame for the conflict.
The one thing blocking that move is Obama's political standing at home. As his whole foreign policy record shows, his number one priority is to protect his right flank on national security, where Democrats have long been most vulnerable. If he has to sacrifice the Palestinians to save his political hide and get some domestic programs passed, he'll surely do it, as he proved back in 2009.
So the question of justice for Palestine may hinge, to a large extent, on another set of questions: Will those of us here in the US who care about a just peace allow Republicans to continue blocking the path to that long-sought goal? Or will we build enough political strength to give Obama a free hand?
Now that we know how powerful his hand can be when he feels free to use it, wouldn't it be tragic if we let that hand be tied, just because we failed to stand up to the right-wing anti-Palestinian militarists in our midst? The place to start is to name the Republicans as the principal roadblock to peace.

As the years have passed, our idea of how a vehicle should function has changed drastically. We are looking for better ways to make the car safer. One of the things that is meant to act as a layer of protection for the vehicle is its bumper – both front and rear. But while in the past the bumpers were made heavy and tough, nowadays they are designed to be a bit brittle and considerably lighter. This is because a heavier bumper only protects the car, but does little to minimize the risk of damage to the driver and the passengers, while a more brittle bumper still reduces the force of the collision, while it doesn't cause a backlash effect for the people inside the car. However, such brittleness often means that a bumper can get damaged by a small hit, so it would need replacing. If you are in need of a replacement bumper, we from Chicago Auto Body Parts offer the cheapest solutions with our high quality products. Our painting services are also available at the lowest rates in the area.

Gov�t seeks compromise deal with Russians
BRIAN BENZA Wednesday, July 26, 2017
Kebonang says negotiations with Norilsk start after August
Government is currently conducting an exercise to ascertain the value of Nkomati Mine in South Africa with a view to negotiate a compromise deal with Norilsk Nickel and stave off a $272 million (P2.8 billion) lawsuit.
Norilsk Nickel has sued the government over a failed deal in which BCL Mine was to buy the Russian company's 50% stake in the Nkomati Mine.
The Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy security Minister Sadique Kebonang told Parliament on Monday that government has initiated action to solve the Nkomati Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) issue amicably. "Due diligence and valuation exercises are being carried out to establish the value of the Nkomati assets as a basis for negotiating a commercially acceptable solution to the parties involved," he said.
The due diligence and valuation are expected to conclude by August 15, 2017 and negotiations with Norilsk Nickel will follow thereafter.
While the government has previously expressed willingness to pay off Norilsk Nickel with proceeds of the BCL's sale to Emirati Investment House (EIH), the $272 million price tag has always been a sticking point.
At the time the Nkomati stake was first negotiated, the parties had a more positive view of nickel prices than most analysts have at the moment. Government is now of the view that the $272 million demanded by Norilsk Nickel for half of Nkomati Mine is too steep, with some resource analysts in South Africa estimating the value of the stake around the $130 million ballpark. "The valuation of the Nkomati stake is a difficult calculation. On its own, its value would fluctuate dramatically depending on the nickel price. However, investments in mining are not just made on the daily price of a commodity as most mines have a lifespan of well over 20 years. The value of a mine therefore is more about how one sees commodity prices well into the future.
"Whatever was finally negotiated with Norilsk might now be seen to be too high in view of the current nickel prices and therefore the need to extract BCL from the Nkomati SPA. Accounting rules require that an
investment be given a market value each year. African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), which owns the other half of Nkomati, reported in its most recent annual financial report that its 50% is worth R2.051 billion or about $130 million," said an analyst who declined to be named.
However, the expert believes that the current accounting valuation does not mean ARM would sell its stake at that price as the company would also see the value of its stake based on its understanding of the future prices of nickel.
"What is clear is that a nickel price of close to $8/pound, the Nkomati asset is very valuable on an NPV basis. The question therefore is whether nickel prices will recover to previous levels and if they do, how long will it take?" he said.
Meanwhile, the liquidator of BCL, Nigel Dixon-Warren has opened bidding for the piecemeal sale of the assets with deadline for submission of offers set for September 1, 2017. In a statement, Dixon-Warren of KPMG said government seeks to dispose of the BCL group's assets preferably as a whole to an interested party who is able to commence operations and return the group to profitability.
"Whilst preference will be given to parties interested in the BCL group as a whole, parties who are interested in certain constituent assets are invited to submit offers in line with their interest," said Dixon-Warren.
The BCL Mine assets comprise four underground shafts, a concentrator and a 900 kilo-tonne per annum (ktpa) flash smelting furnace. In addition to its mining and processing assets, BCL estate include about 2,000 residential properties and related infrastructure including a hospital and a farm.
In a bid to assist interested investors with information, Dixon-Warren said a data room would be open on August 7, following which an indicative offer should be submitted by September 1, 2017.

Michigan State names former Gov. John Engler as interim president
Posted: Feb 1, 2018 4:09 AM EST

By Eric Levenson
(CNN) -- Michigan State University's board of trustees named former Gov. John Engler on Wednesday as its interim president following the upheaval over Larry Nassar's decades of abuse.
Engler was chosen "from outside the institution to provide strong leadership during this critical time," according to board Chairman Brian Breslin.
Engler, a longtime Republican politician who was governor from 1991 to 2003, takes over for Lou Anna Simon, who resigned last week.
Michigan State has faced significant criticism for employing Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor, for years, even as he sexually abused young athletes on campus. The former associate professor and team physician at MSU admitted in court that he sexually abused young girls under the guise of providing medical treatment.
Tough questions for Engler
Facing students, faculty and journalists Wednesday, Engler said his main concern as interim president would be to the survivors of sexual abuse.
"We owe it to them to fix the problems and to change the culture so that a better MSU will be their legacy, and that they know something positive came out of their suffering," he said, reading from a statement he said he wished never had had to be written.
Engler said he would move forward as if his own daughters were on campus, to implement changes swiftly and to protect "all Spartans," anyone affiliated with the campus, from sex assault harassment and bullying.
At times the exchanges between Engler and the crowd grew testy.
Dan Martel, president of the Michigan State University Democrats, said he was "sick and tired" of the board of trustees ignoring him. He made a series of requests, including asking for a town hall as soon as possible, and a plan to address shortfalls in transparency at the university. A woman who didn't identify herself other than to say she's a "faculty person," said the board was not soliciting feedback from faculty.
At the end of the press conference, folks in the room chanted, "Shame," repeatedly as Engler and members of the board exited the conference room.
'I was humiliated'
In an Ingham County, Michigan, court over the past two weeks, more than 150 women spoke out about Nassar's two decades of abuse. Several of those victims said they reported his abuse to various Michigan State leaders but their concerns were brushed aside or not taken seriously.
"I told Michigan State University back in 1997," Larissa Boyce said in court. "Instead of being protected, I was humiliated. I was in trouble and brainwashed into believing that I was the problem."
Others have criticized the university and the board of trustees for their response over the past 18 months to the revelations of Nassar's abuse. Last week, MSU trustee Joel Ferguson apologized after he tried to downplay the abuse case by saying there "are so many more things going on at the university than just this Nassar thing."
Simon's resignation letter was similarly criticized for its seeming unwillingness to take responsibility for Nassar's abuse.
"As tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable," Simon wrote in her resignation letter. "As president, it is only natural that I am the focus of this anger."
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has appointed a special prosecutor to search "every corner" of the university and to understand how Nassar was able to continue terrorizing young women for so long.
Michigan State has denied there was any cover-up of the abuse and has apologized to all those affected by their failure to stop Nassar.
"To the survivors, I can never say enough that I am so sorry that a trusted, renowned physician was really such an evil, evil person who inflicted such harm under the guise of medical treatment," Simon said.
"I know that we all share the same resolve to do whatever it takes to avert such tragedies here and elsewhere."

No to CAB: Filmmaker Jahnu Barua withdraws film from state awards
Expressing angst against the contentious Bill, the Padma Bhushan awardee from Assam said that he is hurt and disturbed with whatever has happened so far
Team EastMojo
Guwahati: Protesting against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), veteran filmmaker Jahnu Barua withdrew his film Bhoga Khirikee (Broken Window) from the Assam State Film Awards which is likely to take place in the last week of December.
According to reports, expressing angst against the contentious Bill, the Padma Bhushan awardee said that he is hurt and disturbed with whatever has happened so far.
The movie was released in October 2018 and is produced by Bollywood bigwig Priyanka Chopra and former state tourism ambassador.
The 8th Assam State Film Awards and Film Festival 2019 is scheduled to take place on December 26 and 27 in Guwahati.
The contentious Bill was passed a little past midnight in the Lok Sabha on Monday with 311 'ayes' and 80 'noes'. The Bill is likely to be tabled in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, as the Winter Session of Parliament gets over on December 13.
CAB seeks to provide citizenship to Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis and Christians who faced religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

Students and professors of The School Centre Celje, Secondary School for Service Activities and Logistics are included into the three-year project Learning E-Mobility. The project is led by The School for Road Traffic and Transportation from Croatia. Within this project we want to encourage individuals to make use of green technology in their daily lives and thereby reduce pressure on the environment. Lemo project is designed on the basis of close links between educational institutions and industry. We are aware that such cooperation can achieve the desired results – the economy can get adequately educated staff, students could achieve competitiveness in the labour market.
Expected outcomes of the project are: the project logo, website (platform for the dissemination of e-learning), Facebook profile, purchase and use of equipment for the purpose of education and the introduction of a new educational module (components for improvement of the electric car) and a new educational module of e-mobility, e-learning (innovative materials and tools for teaching and learning of e-mobility). The educational module was developed together with our partners and the existing curriculum was complemented in the field of transport and logistics. This module is designed in terms oflearning outcomes which are defined in the project.
Teachers from partner schools as well as institutions that have experience in this area and economic sector are involved in designing the module. They are from Spain, Croatia, Finland and Slovenia. These are beside The School Centre Celje also The School for Road Traffic and Transportation from Zagreb, RACC (Automobil club assistencia sa) from Barcelona, Ducati komponenti d.o.o., Avant car d.o.o., The Energy Institut Hrvoje Požar, Kouvola Region Vocational Clooege from Finland and Neteko.
Cooperation between schools, institutions and enterprises took the form of meetings of all partners in different countries. The first meeting of the participants was held in Zagreb, later followed by consultations, discussions, guidance in Spain, and later again in Croatia and in Slovenia. Students of all countries were also involved in the exchanges, integration of the module created in the process of educating students followed.
In addition to active participation in all working meetings of teachers in Zagreb and Barcelona, we were working with students on a one-week exchange in Croatia and Finland, as well as we also hosted students and teachers of these countries.
Teachers from The School Centre Celje wanted to share all acquired knowledge with public, so in addition to many publications in the media many meetings were organised and the Lemo project and importance of such mobility was presented.
The workshops were attended by experts, economists and educators; we have drawn attention to the importance of e-mobility and ideas on how to spread awareness about sustained mobility among young people. We discussed the future of electric cars in Slovenia and compared it with the development of green mobility in Finland.
People who attended these workshops were invited to the Safe Driving Centre in Ljubečna to join and try driving electric cars Tesla, Volkswagen E-Golf, BMW I3, Renault Zoe, Kangoo, Dacia Duster from companies Selmar, A2S, Merkscha and Avtotehnika. They could also drive electric vehicles from Bike shop and test electric skateboards from the company Plorer.
Fast charging station which is situated on the area of the School Centre Celje, Secondary School for Service activities and Logistics was built within the project.
Teachers and students have presented new professional material on e-mobility which will significantly contribute to the modernization of existing curriculum in the field of transport and logistics. This material was established and completed in collaboration between the partner schools with contribution of co-experts in the field of logistics and businessmen.
We will all gain with the integration and encouragement to use green technologies: individuals in their daily lives, economists, schools will by raising awareness of the importance of electric mobility and reducing impact on the environment influence on the young future transport users, as they will be more competitive in the labour market. The resulting material will contribute to a concrete example of improving the use of e-mobility and they will enrich the lessons of professional and general-educational subjects.

What is GitHubAnalyzer?
GitHubAnalyzer is a public platform to introduce the RISCOSS project, a research project partially funded by the European Commission. With GitHubAnalyzer you can run simple risk analysis on any GitHub project.
With GitHubAnalyzer, we want to share the RISCOSS concept and start a discussion with you.
Your feedback is important to us. Does RISCOSS address an actual need? Do you find the results useful, interesting, pointless? What level of information do you need in order to feel confident the RISCOSS? What type of analysis would you like from RISCOSS? Etc.
Much data is generated by the development activity and captured by tools such as the core development platform and the testing tools. Data is also generated by the community and captured by mailing lists, tweets, etc.
The main idea behind RISCOSS is that all open source projects can be analyzed through the data they generate. RISCOSS combines data available on a project into models in order to provide value-added information on the project, its software and its community.
RISCOSS feeds data on open source components into risk models in order to answer requests by potential users and integrators.
Why is it useful?
Open source software is a counter-intuitive concept for many conventional developers and IT managers. Some think open source software lacks the guarantees they attribute to proprietary software and, as a consequence, is more uncertain and risky.
The objective of RISCOSS is to help conventional decision-makers to overcome the fear of adopting open source software. Understanding the possible risks and the possible solutions can help with addressing the inherent uncertainty they tend to expect with this type of software.
Now you know where the name RISCOSS comes from.
How does it help?
As the name suggests, RISCOSS analyzes projects in terms of the potential risk posed by using or integrating open source software. More generally, RISCOSS helps assess areas of concerns or weaknesses in an open source project.
The methodology combines data related to an area of concern, or risk, and derives a score for each area. Users and integrators can make an informed decision depending on the score.
To be thorough, the intended usage of the software must always be taken into consideration. What can be called the "business intention" can impact significantly the that is by a given user's acceptable risk profile.
What risks are analyzed?
A risk is a potential area of concern for a user or an integrator. We assume however that all share basic concerns about code quality, bugs, etc. In GitHubAnalyzer we focus on the following risks:
- Obsolescence Risk: Refers to a lack of popularity of the project, due to a reduced number of people following it and reporting bugs and opening issues.
- Bug Risk: This type of risk refers to possible presence of bugs in the code due to either the size of the repository (difficult to be kept under control), or to a high open/closed issue ratio, which may mean low effectiveness in closing bugs.
- Analysability Risk: This type of risk refers to weak quality attributes of the software, which could make it difficult to understand by an adopter.
- Project Activity Risk: Refers to the activeness of the project developers (contributors), their responsiveness in the issue tracker and the stability of the project (including project age).
The RISCOSS project
The RISCOSS project was launched to develop a risk management-based methodology to facilitate the adoption of open source code into mainstream products and services.
The project stemmed from the need to address issues raised by communication equipment manufacturers looking to integrate open source code into their products. RISCOSS developed a methodology and a software platform that integrate the whole decision-making chain, from technology criteria to strategic issues.
RISCOSS relies on a consortium of eight partners bringing together industry and academic leaders, innovative technology start-ups and open source community expertise.
The RISCOSS project was funded in part by the FP7 Programme of the European Commission under contract 318249. It started in November 2012 and will end in October 2015.

Biofilta has installed their Foodwall vertical gardening system at the George Institute, where innovator Bruce Neal (FoodSwitch) is deputy executive director. Bruce introduced Biofilta's Marc Noyce to colleagues at the Institute, and, Marc says, Bruce's colleagues quickly came to the conclusion that their office should have a Foodwall just from hearing about it. "It was probably the easiest sale I'll ever come across," Marc laughs.
Entomo Farms and Coffee Flour continue to collaborate on LAUNCH's first working group along with three other ingredients companies from inside and outside of LAUNCH. The five companies, from three continents, are engaged in non-competitive work to share experiences and best practices. So far, the working group has resulted in shared research, contacts and documentation, and opportunities. Members are exploring the potential to bundle their products for retailers, and/or to combine their products for sale.
HarvestPlus has been in discussion with Telenor Mobile Agriculture to potentially harness Telenor's network of farmers. Telenor's Prosperous Farmer (Khush'haal Zamindar) innovation is a mobile advisory service tailored to the needs of rural farmers in Pakistan. Farmers receive a daily call with information about local weather conditions, livestock advice, and more. They then have the option to dial in to the service for more specific information. As more farmers start to use the service, Telenor's Habib Saqib says, the team is hoping to integrate more nutrition advisories and advertising from mission-aligned companies. In particular, HarvestPlus is interested in harnessing Telenor's platform– which recently reached its four-millionth farmer– to raise awareness of its biofortified high-zinc wheat.
Habib acknowledges that this will be a shift from the kind of messaging farmers are used to. "A lot of focus here is on growing maximum yield," he says. "[There hasn't] been a lot of awareness about how fortified seeds can have an impact." However, based on feedback from the LAUNCH Food Forum, the Telenor team has started thinking of their service as a content hosting platform. This new framing opens new opportunities for collaboration with stakeholders like HarvestPlus and beyond.
For Marc, learning about Salah's work helped him realize that robotics would be a valuable space for Biofilta to plug into. "I don't think we'd have [realized that] anywhere as quick [if we] hadn't been in this program with like-minded people in complementary industries," he says.

Environmental costs of production are negligible in Orissa since no one uses pollution control equipment.
A NEW wave of industrialisation threatens to make the people of Orissa environmental refugees in their own land.
The State's air, water, wildlife and people's livelihoods are being destroyed by the so-called industrial blitzkrieg, according to environmentalists.
Spurred by the spiralling demand for steel and aluminium in the international market, several conglomerates have come forward to set up metal production units to exploit the mineral resources of the State.
Instead of planning for metal production spread over the next 100-200 years, the State Government has adopted a "myopic and self-destructive" policy of exhausting the entire stock of 3,120 million tonnes of iron ore and 1,626 mt of bauxite within 20-25 years, according to environmental activist Mr Biswajit Mohanty.
The industrialisation boom is expected to result in massive environmental degradation since the local environment has a limited "carrying capacity" to absorb and assimilate effluents and wastes produced due to such gigantic production facilities being squeezed within a very short time, Mr Mohanty said in a statement.
Due to the abysmal enforcement of pollution control laws by the State Pollution Control Board, environmental costs of production are negligible in Orissa since no one uses pollution control equipment such as electrostatic precipitators. As many as 64 sponge iron units in Keonjhar and Sundargarh districts have destroyed drinking water sources and agriculture fields, Mr Mohanty said.
The State has planned for hiking its annual steel production to 56 mt, which shall require about 2,250 mt of iron ore over the next 25 years. Currently, the State produces only 1.6 mt of steel from the Rourkela Steel Plant which shall jump by 35 times by 2010, thereby causing severe environmental degradation, he said.
The additional steel making capacity shall require at least 527 million cubic metres of fresh water which shall be drawn from its major rivers such as Mahanadi, Brahmani and Baitarani leading to severe environmental and livelihood losses, Mr Mohanty warned.
To meet the requirement of 56 mt of steel, 33 mt of coke has to be produced which shall require the burning of nearly 55 mt of fossil coal (20 per cent of India's projected output) which will release harmful gases. An additional coal-fired power generating capacity of 22,000 MW is expected to be added in Orissa. This shall generate about three per cent of the green house gas (GHG). This is expected to rise multifold once the new industries and power plants are commissioned. GHG emission from Orissa is expected to jump to five per cent of global emission level by 2010 leading to massive climate change in the State, Mr Mohanty said.


oh good cover SANTOSH SHARMA. really very good.
are jo pesha illegal hai use sarkar kavi degree de hi nehi sakta.
Thanks Santosh for a good posting.
I object. Strongly object against the report. I think Mr. Sharma should have been careful enough while chosing words for drafting the report. The 'OR', the conjunction used in the caption of the report may confuse his readers.
Is there any difference between 'Astrological Education Centre' and 'a den of crooks'? And is it fair to insert 'OR' between the phrases? There is no 'either' or an 'OR'. The two phrases carry THE same meaning and we have to choose both the statements all at a time. All, I say ALL Astrological schools are nothing but 'den of crooks'. Is there any honest thief? All, I repeat ALL astrologers, gyangurus, godmen, godwomen and members of such other tribes are crooks.cheaters, antisocials and criminals. I cannot find any reason for searching any milder adjective to put before such fraudulent traders.
Please do not treat me as the enemy of the society if I, most humbly say that the Astrological schools, in other sense are never fraudulent ones. The teachers, sorry, the Gurus honestly train their deciples honestly how to be dishonest, how to bring the weak and frustrated people into their net, how to kindle the passion of greed for easy fortune, how to befool the intelligent fools etc. etc. And most of them perform these dishonest duties honestly. They are faithful to their clients and very much honest to their profession of dishonesty. As a music school teaches music, a cricket school teaches the game of cricket, the astrological schools teaches the art of fraud. There is nothing abnormal in it to make it a news.Will anybody call a Burglary Education Centre, (if there is any which might coaches their deciples to be good thieves) a 'den of thieves'? So, I think, the appropriate caption of the report should have been "Astrological Education Centre – a den of the honest crooks" Do you agree with me, my dear Mr. Sharma? If so, please thank me for helping you dispel any confusion amongst you readers.
In this connection I cannot resist my temptation to tell you a history that was enacted more than a decade hence. As a quasi judicial authority, while disposing a case regarding an astrologer, I, in my order explained how the astrolgers carry on criminal acts, how they misuse the government document those were illegally awarded to them, how they decorate their chamber displaying their joint photographs with Souravs, Amitavs, or even with Chief Justices with a view to further their crminal trade prospects. I also noted in my aforesaid order how Trade Licences, Income Tax Registration, and such other Government Certificates are displayed as Government approval of the criminal activities. Perhaps my order is the first one that was passed by me on behalf of Government which declared that all and ALL astrologers, godmen, gyangurus are cheater, are criminals. Innocent people should be protected by the State from their bloody claws. After passing the order, I requested in secret notes to the higher authorities to 1. investigate how the Registrar of Societies granted registration to the astrological schools whose written agenda is to undo the intention of the law of the land, 2.to review the legality and morality to share the loot of the criminals by way of accepting Income Tax and thus forcing the civil citizens being parters of the crime, 3. to review the Drug and Magic Remedies Act 1954 so as to find loopwholes of the old Act and amend to make it fit in the changed circumstances. 4. to cancel the Trade Licenses those were granted in favour of the criminals by the Metropolitan Corporations and Panchayets etc. etc.
After passing the order facing great resistance of my government and risking my service and life, I was happy to think, foolishly thought that I had initiated a revolution. And I hoped that my fellow countrymen, particularly my rationalist comrades will end the superstition effectively. A decade has passed since then only to see with wonder and frustration that our popular Chief Minister taking her office at a time fixed astrlogically by astrologers and purhits. While visiting people and societies around the world I personally find the business of the fraudulent trade of the astrologers is growing as before everywhere in the globe mocking the civilisation of the mankind of tentyfirst century utterly. And we tolerate the humiliation peacefully.
I congratulate Mr. Sharma for his beautiful report and I congratulate SRAI for bringing it to the readers of the Facebook.I wish a bengali version of the reprt be published too.
U r really doing a good job.
Ha ha — u'r right Mr.Das. 'Or' here means 'in other words'.That is, Astrology school is nothing but a den of crooks.
planetory system and not the earth. The lies, those written in the holy books as dictated by the gods or their earthly ambassodors had long been detected under the glasses of Gallilio. It is a lie that there are planets like Rahu or ketu and that the Sun is a planet. And the true science of holy astrology stands on these false ideas and the astrologers count or show us the acting of calculating our fate on the basis of such falsehood. Everyone knows how untrue the holy truths are. Even the children of the primary school laugh at the astrologers' idea of planets' behaviour.The children of the astrlogers learn from their school teachers that their fathers tell lie to his customers by telling the untrue knowledge of the planetorial positions and movements. Astrologers themselves know this as a cheater knows how he lies The astrologers themselves send their children to learn antiastrological science and not to learn the foolish wisdom of the astrlogical liers, except however for choosing a profession of a cheater. The children also learn and understand in their school that their astrloger father are liers and they cheat the customers to earn money to feed them. What all, even the children know, is surely known to all. So it is not true that an humble person like me proved astrology an illegal profession.
Then what did I do twelve years hence when the newspaper and TV channels were so furiously flooded with the news of my deeds? Why were the chambers of the astrologers, schools of astrology and the business houses of stones shaken as if by the effect of an earthquake? Not for that I proved anything. Not for that I created a new idea or wrote a new phylosophy in my order. I simply executed the law passed by our learned Members of Parliament. I only reflected the will of the law makers – established the rule of law.[In fact, if the law of the land approve astrology as a legal profession, I would grant the astrloger's petition in spite of my personal moral disapproval]Being a servant of the people, I was dutybound to do so. I did nothing extraordinary which may make a news in a law abiding civil country. A policeman does not do anything remarkabe when he catches a thief. Rather when he allows a thief to escape, he makes a news.Being a protector of law I only did not allow the criminal(here the astrologer) to escape. I did it as a part of my normal duty which is assured by me in exchange of an amount of salary.
In fact the burden of respect that you conferred upon my orders is humiliating for the guardians of law. Do they not generally discharge there duties to guard the rule of law in a normal manner? And when done, should it become a rare instance?It is a matter of disgrace indeed! Disgrace for the Administration.
I dream a civil society where my work, and such other works done by my fellow officers will not be treated as an extraordinary work to be rememberred.Let arresting a thief be a normal routine work of a policeman. Let the arrest of an astrologer by a policeman for his filthy illegal profession or sending him to prison by the judges of the courts be normal executive and judicial duties.
