A bit staid in its thriller mechanics...[but] engaging in its drama, amusing in its fragments of bone-dry wit, and suspenseful in its dual mystery.
129 min. Focus Features. Director: Fernando Meirelles. Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz, Danny Huston, Bill Nighy, Pete Postlethwaite.
In his adaptation of John le Carré's The Constant Gardener, City of God director Fernando Mereilles turns his attention from crime-riddled Brazilian slums to even poorer Kenyan communities living under the thumbs of drug companies and "staggering under the weight of not one but three plagues." The political intrigue of drug-trial conspiracies shares time and space with an equally murky personal investigation. The trail's dead end will reveal a drug's true value and either deepen a husband's cynicism or affirm his romantic desire.
Rachel Weisz plays Tessa, a journalist and diplomat's wife who stirs the pot of the drug issue. When she becomes the victim of a roadside murder, her husband Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself compelled to solve the mysteries of her death and her loyalties. Doubting the relationship Tessa may have considered a "marriage of convenience," Justin explores the possibilities of affairs with doctor and colleague Arnold Bluhm (Hubert Kounde) or Sandy Woodrow (Danny Huston), family friend and the British High Commission's Head of Chancery.
Mereilles succeeds due to his energetic blend of on-the-fly realism and colorful stylization; scrutinizing the latter reveals the director's tendency to tart up reality, but the source material is sufficiently emblematic to justify such an approach. Fine acting helps, as does screenwriter Jeffrey Caine's engaging critique of a familiar Western tendency: betrayal by willful ignorance. Caine and Le Carré's sharply accusatory narrative raises questions of informed consent in drug trials, mortal opportunism, and "corporate murder" without providing much in the way of useful facts, but real-world analogues aren't terribly hard to find, and the foreign-office presence of diplomats staring blithely through poverty likewise carries the weight of truth.
The filmmakers suggest action in spite of despair, with Tessa noting, "These are three we can help" (later, Justin echoes her: "This is one we can help"), but by only marginally depicting African characters, The Constant Gardener engages awkwardly with the notion of the "white person's burden." Regardless of the issue of his wife's fidelity, constant-gardener Justin adopts her social idealism and dreams of a world without weeds. In life, Tessa prodded her husband to push the boundaries of his diplomatic career; in death, she sparks his drive "to finish what she started," an ultimate act of love that crosses the border of life and death.
Fiennes brings his unique intensity into play, and he's well-matched with Weisz's Tessa, a keenly intelligent beauty who refuses to be possessed. (Mereilles also makes good use of Bill Nighy, whose stuffy-Brit routine never fails to generate rueful laughs). Justin's quietly powerful emotional journey isn't as action-packed as the film's trailers would suggest, but if The Constant Gardener is a bit staid in its thriller mechanics, it also proves engaging in its drama, amusing in its fragments of bone-dry wit, and suspenseful in its dual mystery.

23 June 2021 — Unreal Estate
Councillors and Residents Worry that Development of Lands in Finglas Could Be Chaotic Rather than Coordinated
Jamestown Business Park. Photo by Laoise Neylon.
Last week, Dublin city councillors voted to rezone sprawling industrial lands on Jamestown Road in Finglas, a few minutes walk from the village centre.
The 43ha of land could fit around 2,200 homes, together with business, community and recreational uses, says a council report.
The land is split between several owners. One group of them, the Finglas Employers Group, says it will deliver an affordable housing scheme on its land.
Another, Jamestown Village Ltd, applied to An Bord Pleanálain May, ahead of the rezoning, for permission to build 400 build-to-rent apartments and a creche.
At the meeting, council officials made clear that a master plan would be drawn up for the area.
This should involve all the major land owners working together on a plan for "sustainable" and "coherent" development, dealing with issues such as housing, surface water, transport and more.
But with the land now rezoned, some councillors are unclear on whether all the landowners will stick to any master plan that is drawn up.
Independent Councillor Noeleen Reilly, who backed the rezoning, says that you have to have faith in people.
"People have a right to housing and to live somewhere close to where they are from," says Reilly, who says she is trying to represent people who are homeless and aren't heard.
Fianna Fáil Councillor Keith Connolly says the lands need to be developed. But he voted against the rezoning because he thought it should be done as part of the new city development plan – which is currently being drawn up – to tie in the delivery of amenities and tackle issues like traffic too.
"There are so many different business owners up there I'm not sure that a masterplan will be agreed," says Connolly.
With the land rezoned, he worries property owners could start submitting planning applications, he says.
What the Changes Mean
With last week's vote, the 43.11ha site in Finglas changed from industrially zoned land to mixed-use, meaning different parts of the site could be built out with different kinds of things – shops, homes, offices.
Technically speaking, the rezoning changed the area from a Z6 objective, which is employment and enterprise, to a Z14 objective, which is a strategic development and regeneration area (SDRA).
Half the land will be used for homes, and the rest for business, community and recreational uses, says a council report.
Some landowners didn't want a masterplan and said it could be hard to agree it, but the council chief executive recommended that it was needed.
Any master plan drawn up by landowners would have to conform to the rules laid down for strategic development and regeneration areas.
An issue that came up a lot during public consultation was the question of building heights, says the report.
"Building heights in the range of 4-6 stories will be encouraged in order to provide a coherent street of structure, with an appropriate sense of enclosure," says the council report.
Some higher buildings might be included in certain locations where it is appropriate, says the report.
Many of those who had submitted to the consultation process around the rezoning raised concerns that national guidelines issued by the Department of Housing and allowing for greater heights supersede any heights in the masterplan.
The rules around strategic development and regeneration areas include that a housing needs assessment be completed, which would decide how many one-beds are needed, how many two-beds and so on.
Sinn Féin councillors had submitted that the mix of housing should be stipulated in the master plan and that should be one-third private, one-third social and one-third affordable, says the report.
But the master plan can't stipulate a housing mix in that sense, it says.
The housing needs demand assessment, done to inform the master plan, will recommend what housing mix there should be. But "the council cannot legally enforce this requirement", says the report.
Public Concerns
Of the 201 submissions sent to the council ahead of the rezoning, the majority opposed it, says the council's report.
Locals are worried about plans for 2,200 new homes adding to traffic problems in the area, says Connolly, the Fianna Fáil councillor.
Traffic on Jamestown Road is often at a standstill, and it can take half an hour to drive down, he says.
There's a plan to extend the Luas Green Line past Broombridge and through Finglas.
But Connolly says that is currently scheduled for after 2027, which means it could be 2031 before it is completed.
The project may be brought forward under the new national development plan and the council should have waited for clarity on issues like that, says Connolly.
"We are weeks away from knowing what is happening with the Finglas Luas extension," he says.
If that gets brought forward and there is a stop near the Jamestown site then that would be a gamechanger, he says.
Social Democrats Councillor Mary Callaghan, who voted against the rezoning, said: "We want housing and amenities but we need safeguards, which we didn't feel were in place."
There are serious issues with traffic and transport in the area, she said. "If we put in more housing there we need a really good infrastructure upgrade."
Likewise, there are issues with water, sewerage and schools, she says.
Council officials promised all those things would be looked at as part of the master plan. But "There wasn't a sense of trust in the community that what was being promised would be delivered," Callaghan says.
What Kind of Housing?
At the council meeting, Social Democrats Councillor Catherine Stocker said councillors should wait to rezone the lands until after the strategic housing development (SHD) legislation lapses at the end of 2021.
That is the alternative planning process, whereby developers building more than 100 homes can apply directly to An Bord Pleanála, bypassing council planners and cutting out a stage of community consultation and access to appeal decisions.
There are a lot of different land owners on the site so what happens if they cannot agree on a master plan? says Connolly, the Fianna Fáil councillor, who voted against the rezoning.
"My big fear is that a master plan won't be agreed on and one of them will lodge an SHD, which bypasses the council and goes straight to An Bord Pleanála," he says.
That's what Jamestown Village Ltd has already done with its application to An Bord Pleanálafor approval to build the 400 build-to-rent apartments and the creche.
Objectors to the plans also pointed to other national legislation that councillors should wait out.
According to the council report, Social Democrats TD Róisín Shortall submitted an observation saying that the apartment standards should be improved before the lands were rezoned.
In 2018, the Department of Housing brought in different design standards for new apartments, which among other changes, allows developers to build to a lower specification if the apartments are for rent rather than sale.
SHD developments are usually sold to institutional investors, says Stocker, so why not wait for the city development plan to be in place before rezoning lands.
But Reilly, the independent councillor, who voted for the rezoning, said the city development plan won't be finalised until December 2022.
"I actually can't believe people would go against this in a housing crisis," she said at the council meeting.
After the meeting, she says she has faith that a group of local business people, the Finglas Employers Group, will deliver affordable homes. "They say they are going to behave in an ethical manner," says Reilly.
Andrew Griffith, the project manager with the Finglas Employers Group – a coalition of four local businesses that controls 8.4 hectares of land on the site – says his group controls much of the vacant land there.
Some other owners still have tenants with leases on their lands, he says.
The Finglas Employers Group will develop that land according to a master plan to be drawn up by Dublin City Council, he says.
Some in the community fear that the rezoning would mean the site is to be developed as private housing with few other amenities, he says.
"The local employers pledged that they will not get themselves involved in the planning process ahead of the master plan," Griffith says.
The master plan will provide for 50 percent residential development, a greenway, a large public park, business premises, a primary school, a secondary school and other amenities such as a proposed community hub for older people, he says.
"That is the beauty of the master plan and why it is important that it is done very quickly," he says. "So the people who supported this are vindicated and everyone sees that there are processes that can be trusted."
The Finglas Employers Group is working with Clúid, an approved housing body, to develop social and affordable homes. "A large element of that will be affordable housing," says Griffith.
The council needed a two-thirds majority to approve the zoning, which was narrowly achieved when 42 voted in favour, 17 against and 2 abstained.
"We do need the housing and we do need the master plan," says Callaghan of the Social Democrats. "What we need to do now is heal the divide and work together to deliver on the promises made."

Q: When should I use an abstract property, and when should property be in my abstract class I will start with an example first:
So, Player is a child class, and Entity is a parent class.
Player:
    class Player : Entity
    {
        public override int Speed   { get; set; }
    }

Entity:
    abstract class Entity : Animation
    {
        public Moving Movement { get; set; }
        public abstract int Speed { get; set; }
    }

Note: Moving is an enum, which contains: Up, Down, Left, Right, None
So as you can see, I have overiden property in Player class, and I have a normal
public property in Entity class.
When I make an instance of a Player, I can access both overriden Speed from Player class, and Movement from my Entity class.
Player player = new Player();
player.Speed = 1;
player.Movement = Moving.None;

So when should I make a property abstract, and when should I not ?

The Bristol Radical Film Festival was founded in 2011 to showcase contemporary and historical works of overtly political documentary and fiction filmmaking. As well as providing a platform for the films, the festival also aims to draw attention to a range of other progressive, community-based initiatives in the city.
At our events films are a pretext for action & debate as much as important aesthetic & cultural objects in themselves. Our interpretation of the word 'radical' is an open one: while we believe that radical social, economic & political change is needed for a more equal, just & sustainable society, that fundamental belief can be articulated in a variety of ways. Film is a rich medium and we are very keen to exhibit works that interrogate political and aesthetic radicalism in new and challenging ways.


Because everybody else already did.
Look. Let's be honest. If a book's got a quote from Kelly Cordes on the front cover, and one from Kevin Fedarko on the back, what else do you really need to know?
You can probably rest fairly well assured that what's sandwiched in the middle is pretty legit.
Open the front cover, and you'll see more praise from the likes of ordinary folks most of us have never heard of. You know, people like Conrad Anker, Grayson Schaffer, Katie Ives, Steve Casimiro, Chris Kalous, Fitz Cahall… I could go on, but I won't.
(That was a joke, by the way. I'm assuming you've heard of at least SOME of those luminaries of our industry).
When Brendan graciously offered to send me a copy of his new book, 60 Meters to Anywhere, it crossed my mind that perhaps he might be hoping the kind gesture would be repaid in a positive review from my blog. After all, this is the outdoor industry. The way to get ahead is to stroke as many egos as you can, as vigorously as possible, and then get your… comeuppance… so to speak. Right?
Surely, Brendan has been around long enough to know how to play the game.
But when I got the book in the mail, and opened the package, and looked at all these famous writers talking up his book, the beautiful cover, the Mountaineers Press logo, it donned on me how absurd I was being.
Sure, if I wrote a book, and self-published, and wanted to generate some press for it, then yeah; it might make sense for me to send a copy off to my ol' buddy Brendan in hopes he would review it for his slightly more than semi-famous blog, Semi-Rad. After all, his blog gets more views on a good day than mine gets in a good year.
But would it make any sense, really, for Brendan to seek the same from me? I mean, if clicks were dollars, Brendan would be a prince and I'd be a pauper. It aint gonna do much good for the prince to beg a dubloon (or some other archaic small unit of money) off of the beggar.
In other words, more bluntly, I would stand to gain plenty from Brendan's good press; he stands to gain comparatively very little for mine. There had to be another reason why he sent me the book. My paranoid scheming mind and cold coal-black heart strained to find the answer.
I opened the book, flipped past the page with all the praise, and stumbled upon something hand-written.
Always nervous about sending these to other (good) writers, but I hope you dig it. See you soon!
And like the grinch, I guess my heart grew two sizes.
Of course, Brendan did not send me the book so I could generate some iota of solid press for him. He sent it to me because he wanted to share his story, plain and simple (and, possibly, he knew I was too much of a cheapskate to buy a copy).
And that, by way of painfully long introduction, is what I most want to say about Brendan's book.
Brendan didn't write his story for the reason much of the media in the outdoors industry is made – ostensibly, to make money. I mean, yeah, he's trying to make a living just like anyone. But as you'll read in the book, he could have done just that writing copy for IBM. Instead, Brendan chose a different path (the reasons for which are elucidated in hilarious, revealing, and sometimes painfully embarrassing detail).
He wrote this story because he wanted to share it. And I'm glad he did, because it's a story worth sharing. It is the kind of book that makes you want to meet the author, which I've always held as a litmus test of good literature.
It's a quick, enjoyable, and unpretentious read. I am certain you'll enjoy it, if when you buy it.
Just buy the book. You won't regret it. I promise.

Q: Is it possible to auto instrument the nested methods using OpenTelemetry for python? I am using OpenTelemetry for a python application.
I have a FastAPI endpoint that calls tons of nested methods to do some computations. There is a bottleneck in the system and I cannot manually create that many nested spans for each and every method to find it. So, is it possible to auto-instrument the sub methods? If so, how?
I.e., I have to add "with tracer.start_as_current_span("get_endpoint")" to all the nested methods manually. Is there a workaround to instrument them automatically.
Example:
@app.get("/")
def read_root():
  with tracer.start_as_current_span("get_endpoint"):
    do some work...
    return call1

def call1():
  with tracer.start_as_current_span("call2"):
    do some work...
    return call2()
.
.
.

def call999():
  with tracer.start_as_current_span("call999"):
    do some work...
    return method1000()

def method1000():
  with tracer.start_as_current_span("method1000"):
    do some work...
    return {"Hello": "World"}

Your response is greatly appreciated!

A: Based on the responses I got in OpenTelemetry Slack Channel, it is not possible to automatically span all the methods.

Bajgiran Border Town; The Land of Poppies
Sunday, 01 April 2018 20:26	administrator
Bajgiran, the capital of Bajgiran District in Quchan County, serves as a zero point border crossing between Iran and Turkmenistan.
The distance between Bajgiran and the city of Mashhad is about 200 km, or about a two-hour drive. The border town is about 55 km away from Ashgabat, the capital city of Turkmenistan.
Bajrian is highly significant in historical term. Due to its proximity to one of the oldest customs in the region, the border town is home to some historic storehouses belonging to the Bajgiran customs office. The storehouses are registered as national heritage.
Even the name of the city is tied with the region's customs office. Under Qajar dynasty, the privilege of the region's customs was given to the Belgian government. To strengthen their grip on the customs, the Belgians had hired a number of armed bullies (in Persian, Bajgiran) to gather the customs duties.
In addition to the customs storehouses, there are other historical sites in the region including a historic crypt in the Rahvard village about 500m away from the town and the Shrine of Crown Prince Sultan Mahmoud in Dowlatkhaneh rural district near the same village.
The region of Bajgiran is also well-known for its natural attractions. It is home to a large number of plant species which are used in alternative medicine.
On the other hand, there is a no-hunt zone, about two kilometres northeast of Bajgiran. Among other natural attractions of the city, one can refer to Aq Kamar, Qater Darvish, Aslemeh and Darbam Valley.
Anemone Plain is also located in the region which is widely known as one of the greatest natural attractions of Iran.

Table 4-1 displays the commands you must use to configure the destination of logging messages and the desired level of logging for each destination.
The no logging console command disables console logging.
Use this command to enable sending logging messages to the internal buffer (use no logging buffered to disable it) and specify the level of logging desired to be buffered. This feature is enabled by default.
Use this command to enable sending logging messages to the virtual terminal sessions (use no logging monitor to disable it) and specify the level of logging desired to be directed to the virtual terminal lines.
From within a virtual terminal session, typing the command terminal monitor enables the display of logging messages. The command terminal no monitor turns this feature off.
This command allows you to enable sending logging messages to syslog servers and specify the level of these messages. The no logging trap command disables this feature.
The default level is Informational.
This command identifies the IP address of the syslog server so that the router can direct its logging messages to this address. Ifyou have a list of syslog servers to which you want to send the logging messages, you may enter this command with each server's appropriate address one by one. Use the no form of this command to take a server off the list.
There are eight levels of logging. If you specify a particular level of logging—for console logging, for example—the messages of that level and of the higher levels (numerically lower) are forwarded to the console. The levels of logging messages are explained in Table 4-2.
To display the state of syslog error and event logging, including host addresses, which type of logging (destination) is enabled, and other logging statistics, use the show logging (privileged EXEC) command. This command also displays the messages that are logged in the buffer.
Example 4-2 displays sample output of the show logging command.
Monitor logging: level debugging, 13 messages logged.
Trap logging: level informational, 13 messages logged.

Regularity conditions in nonnoetherian rings
by T. Kabele PDF
Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 155 (1971), 363-374 Request permission
We show that properties of $R$-sequences and the Koszul complex which hold for noetherian local rings do not hold for nonnoetherian local rings. For example, we construct a local ring with finitely generated maximal ideal such that ${\text {hd} _R}M < \infty$ but $M$ is not generated by an $R$-sequence. In fact, every element of $M - {M^2}$ is a zero divisor. Generalizing a result of Dieudonné, we show that even in local (nonnoetherian) integral domains a permutation of an $R$-sequence is not necessarily an $R$-sequence.

I had to put Discover Columbus on a diet. The blog was bloated with food and the searches were all food. I am not a food blogger, just obsessed by food.
Due to my food obsession the news about one of my favorite places, The Columbus Fish Markets being for sale caught my eye.
I ran into a website about Restaurant Chains…Chain Leader that had a feature story about Cameron Mitchell, the man and the restaurant empire a few weeks ago. I think I blogged about the article a tad on Discover Columbus pre-diet. There are some great Columbus food bloggers in my blogroll, read them, I do. Discover Columbus would never fit into it's Ittsy Bittsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini if I was not making it diet.


BACKGROUND: In the UK, people with mental disorder thought to pose a high risk of harm to others are usually put in a high-security (special) hospital. Little is known about what happens after that. AIMS: To test a hypothesis that, under current services and laws (from the mid-1980s), no one leaving high-security hospitals remains indefinitely institutionalised. METHOD: The special hospitals' case register was used for case ascertainment and admission data; post-discharge data were collected from multiple sources on patients discharged in 1984 (census date 31.12.1995). RESULTS: In this discharge cohort (n=223), 36 (17%) did not return to the community: 17 died in special hospital and 19 continuously lived in other institutions until death or the census date. Over two-thirds of these had mental illness, were older on admission and had lived longer in special hospital than their better-rehabilitated peers. Offending history was irrelevant to this. Most post-discharge institution time was in open psychiatric hospital, or back in special hospital, not in medium secure units or prison. CONCLUSIONS: The hypothesis was not sustained, but fewer people never reached the community than before the mid-1980s. Atypical antipsychotics might reduce this number. We found no justification for a new tier of long-term medium secure units.


As a world leader in biological research and in the global biotechnology industry, our graduate programs are designed for working professionals – delivering the rigorous and practical curricula they need to advance their careers and academic ambitions.
Johns Hopkins' Advanced Center for Biotechnology Education (CBE) Program is rooted in the multidisciplinary skills of basic research, drug discovery technologies, bioinformatics, regulatory science, and product commercialization that the industry demands. The program offers five master's degrees, graduate fellowships, and certificates.
Of the six degree options, five are available fully online: Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, Bioinformatics, Regulatory Science, Food Safety Regulation, and Biotechnology. In addition, onsite students can capitalize on building laboratory skills and proficiency at our state-of-the-art laboratory (virtually tour the lab), located in the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center at our Montgomery County Campus.
The Baltimore/Washington/Shady Grove corridor is home to dozens of leading biotechnology firms and key federal research and regulatory agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health. The CBE Program has built a strong faculty base from industry and federal agencies, in addition to full-time Johns Hopkins faculty.
The CBE Program offers flexible courses tailored to the needs of working adults. Four of the program's master's degrees can be completed online (although the concentrations in Molecular Targets & Drug Discovery Technologies and Biodefense require onsite coursework). Students can also take courses onsite at our Montgomery County, MD campus or at our Baltimore, MD campus. Onsite courses are held in the evening and on Saturdays to accommodate the working professional.
Many of our students are working in the biotechnology industry and are looking to advance their careers. Some are looking to fulfill academic requirements for pursuing medical school and degrees in public health. Others are looking to master the business of biotechnology as they consider a career transition from the lab. Still others have sharpened their acumen for intellectual property rights, patent law, and licensing as they plan to attend law school or join a start-up company.

Could it be the gas relay sensor? Try your lighter in a know good lighter receptacle. If checking and replacing the fuse for the component in question doesn't work, we recommend seeking assistance from a trusted professional mechanic. More than likely you need to recharge the system after 14 yrs you may have a small seal leak. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component that is no longer working properly.

This article reviews the advancements and prospects of liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and analysis methods in understanding the nucleation, growth, etching, and assembly dynamics of nanocrystals. The bonding of atoms into nanoscale crystallites produces materials with nonadditive properties unique to their size and geometry. The recent application of in situ liquid cell TEM to nanocrystal development has initiated a paradigm shift, (1) from trial-And-error synthesis to a mechanistic understanding of the synthetic reactions responsible for the emergence of crystallites from a disordered soup of reactive species (e.g., ions, atoms, molecules) and shape-defined growth or etching; and (2)A from post-processing characterization of the nanocrystals' superlattice assemblies to inA situ imaging and mapping of the fundamental interactions and energy landscape governing their collective phase behaviors. Imaging nanocrystal formation and assembly processes on the single-particle level in solution immediately impacts many existing fields, including materials science, nanochemistry, colloidal science, biology, environmental science, electrochemistry, mineralization, soft condensed-matter physics, and device fabrication.

Police complaint filed against Owaisi for these 'offensive comments' against PM Modi
Police complaint filed against Owaisi for these 'offensive comments' against PM Modi
Owaisi had alleged that the laws that destroy Muslims are not made on roads, marketplaces or grounds but in Parliament and Assemblies
A police complaint has been filed against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi in Hyderabad for his alleged speech against Prime Minister Narendra Modi that went viral on social media. At an event recently, the AIMIM leader had spoken about the deaths of Mohammed Akhlaq, Pehlu Khan, and 15-year-old Junaid Khan.
A city-based lawyer had approached the Saidabad Police, alleging that the remarks made by Owaisi were offensive and that he tried to create 'misunderstandings' between members of two communities. As per a report in The Times of India, any case is yet to be filed on the issue.
In his speech that went viral on social media, Owaisi allegedly said: "Is it a crime to wear a cap, grow your beard and be a Muslim? There is no need for the sympathy, support of anybody. My brother (AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi) can win 50 parliament seats for the party with the votes of our brethren."
He also went on to allege that plans against Muslims are made in Parliament and Assemblies. "The laws that destroy Muslims are not made on roads, marketplaces or grounds but in Parliament and Assemblies. People of VHP, Bajrang Dal, and Narendra Modi, this country is not your father's property. This country belongs to me as much as it belongs to you," he was quoted as saying.
Akbaruddin Owaisi SPEWS VENOM, openly incites Muslims against Hindus, uses derogatory language for PM Modi #AkbaruddinOwaisi #HateSpeech pic.twitter.com/S9150O1Q0R
— Rosy (@rose_k01) July 3, 2017
Several people on social media had slammed Owaisi for his comments against the Prime Minister. Reacting to the comments made on his on Twitter, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi tweeted: "Yes this "dog" is wafadar of India and will bark and bite any one who wants to make India a Hindu Rashtra and make minorities as second class citizens."
Reacting to the alleged comments, BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao had said that the MLA's remarks could "incite" people. He had also said that the party will approach the Election Commission seeking cancellation of MIM's recognition.

Interview #101 – Author, Editor, Academic, Jaymee Goh, Part 3
Welcome back for part three in our talk with Jaymee Goh , co-editor of The Sea Is Ours: Tales of Steampunk SEAsia.
Airship Ambassador: What is some of the feedback about this anthology which you've heard about?
Jaymee Goh: Lots of people seem to like us, which is nice. Most people have favourite stories, and then people will have criticisms of specific stories, which does happen. Can't expect everyone to love everything, after all.
The most interesting statement I've heard is that it's "not really" steampunk. Because I'm not an asshole, I didn't respond to the review, but I have to say I'm incredibly interested in what makes it "not steampunk"—is it the lack of steam? Is it the lack of industrialization? Is it the type of stories that have been chosen to showcase Southeast Asia? Who knows. It's just very fascinating—I am a scholar of steampunk, after all, as in, my PhD study is, actually, literally, in steampunk, and part of my study is in how readers determine steampunkiness and what the implications are in these determinations. So when I hear a judgement of whether something is steampunk or not, my ears practically beg to hear the reasons behind it.
My favourite review, however, remains the one-star review whereby the reviewer lamented that she couldn't get into the anthology, because she couldn't recognize the Asia in the stories. And she had lived in Asia for quite some time, so she was fully expecting to enjoy the book, but alas, it did not cleave to her expectations of what stories set in Asia should have been like.
AA: Can't please everyone, especially when they have expectations. If someone likes "X", then they'll like The Sea Is Ours. What is "X"?
JG: I could be totally arrogant and say, "X is nothing. X is nil. There is nothing like The Sea Is Ours." But that would not be true, and in fact, The Sea Is Ours owes its existence to many fine anthologies that come before it. One's work must always be in conversation with one's peers. I was greatly inspired by Grace Dillon's Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction, and in fact, owe a lot of my approach towards technology towards her and her amazingly talented daughter, Elizabeth Lapensee, who writes comics based on indigeneity and was a contributor to the recent indigenous comics anthology Moonshot. Beth set a high bar in truly re-imagining steampunk, from an indigenous perspective! And of course, one must always nod to one's elders, and to me, that would be Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora, by Sheree Renee Thomas.
Contributors to our anthology are themselves editors of other fine anthologies: Paolo Chikiamco edited Alternative Alamat: Stories Inspired by Philippine Mythology and Kate Osias edited two Philippine Speculative Fiction Annuals, #6 and #7. Not only that, but artists of our anthology are comics creators in their own right! Stephani Soejono, who illustrated Olivia Ho's "Working Woman" recently got her graphic novel The Tale of Bidadari published by Maple Comics. Writer Paolo Chikiamco and artist Borg Sinaban (who also illustrated zm quynh's "The Chamber of Souls") collaborate on a comic called Muros: Cemetery Girl. (Paolo also wrote a comic set in the same world as "Between Severed Souls.") And of course, my co-editor Joyce Chng is collaborating with illustrator Kim Miranda ("The Women and the Insects Sing Together" and "Life Under Glass") on Sun Dragon's Song. If you like the art in The Sea Is Ours, then please support our artists!
A couple of upcoming anthologies which will be quite marvelous and have nothing to do with The Sea is Ours, but are similarly rooted in non-Eurocentric contexts, are New Worlds, Old Ways: Speculative Tales from the Caribbean and Invisible Planets: An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation.
AA: Thanks for adding so many new books to my list! Amazon is going to be busy, lol. If The Sea Is Ours had a soundtrack, what would it be like?
JG: Oh, probably a lot of gamelan. But that is because when I was copyediting the final drafts, I had gamelan music in the background a lot. The Sea Is Ours does begin and end with music: Timothy Dimacali's story is about how music vibrations literally help ships fly and the main character plays first the kubing, and then the viola, and Pear Nuallak's story has men and women singing to each other, a lot of verbal teasing and smackdowns. The stories with more clockwork or automaton features, I imagine angklung music. (Examples, here is a cover version of Rihanna's "Umbrella" on an array of angklung. Cool, no? How about Beethoven's 5th?)
AA: As the co-editor, what was your publishing experience like for The Sea Is Ours?
JG: S-t-r-e-s-s-f-u-l-!!! Rosarium is a very small outfit, but with very big ambitions. So as editors not only did we have to pull our weight to make the anthology the best it could be—and as folks know, people of color have to work twice as hard to get half as much—we also had to strategize and market hard the IndieGoGo campaign, which was emotionally exhausting. Our project was delayed a couple of times, because life interfered, which was really frustrating. And even with a marketing intern, our publisher, Bill Campbell, ran himself ragged trying to get the notice of the big markets so that bookstores would carry the anthology. When our anthology was finally out, it was Bill who personally sent out all the IndieGoGo paperback rewards. I get to help him sell books here and there at conventions, but as an editor, there's not much I can do beyond yell at the world, BUY OUR BOOK!!!!
AA: OK, readers, you know what to do! How long did it take to gather the authors, their stories, and make the final selections? What were the deadlines and publishing schedule like for you?
JG: Let's see… the submission guidelines went up at the beginning of February 2014. We kept the submissions open until the end of June. This gave writers time to work on their stuff, and besides which, I wouldn't have had the energy to look at submissions until the end of June, since I had my PhD qualifying exams at the end of May. (I passed.) Joyce and I spent July picking at the submissions, making decisions on what was good and what needed more work, and sending out rejections. Google Docs is the collaborators' friend!
In July 2014, I went home to Malaysia and began the tedious process of editing the stories. Some stories required major rewrites, some needed cosmetic changes here and there, and there were a couple which we weren't even sure we wanted to keep without hefty changes. I met with Joyce sometime during my trip back to Malaysia (Singapore is only a causeway away!) and we determined the order in the table of contents together in the Esplanade Library.
By January 2015, the manuscript was by and large done, I was poring over everything with a fine-toothed comb for copyedits, and we delivered by the end of the month. Then came the frustrating wait because, as I said, small publishing outfit, which was also doing another anthology project at the same time. I took the opportunity to start making noise for the anthology and get the okay from the publisher to solicit art. We assigned the artists the stories, to be delivered by July (or so).
In September 2015, we had the IndieGoGo campaign, and by this time the manuscript was about ready. We did have a couple of SNAFUs in the background, but by October, we were set to print. We released this book into the wild in November!

'Hostages' premiere review: Toni Collette stars in intense, insane drama for CBS
CBS, Hostages	 September 23, 2013
Well, did you see a show this intense coming on the air after a Chuck Lorre comedy? "Hostages" launched tonight on CBS, and it proved that it was one of the best new shows of the season by showing us some great performances, a complex storyline, and something that could make for an Emmy-worthy show if the quality stays this high.
The basics that you need to know here are as such. You have a hostage negotiator-turned hostage-keeper in Duncan Carlisle (Dylan McDermott), and also a famed surgeon in Dr. Ellen Sanders (Toni Collette), who is basically told to kill the President; otherwise, everyone in her family dies. What makes this infinitely more complex is that all of these family members have secrets. Her husband is a cheater, her son is a pot dealer and her daughter is pregnant.
Carlisle and his team have thought of almost everything when it comes to the hostages that they keep, and clearly, so has the show. While there are a few TV coincidences, nothing in this episode felt completely forced. Instead, it was just consistent entertainment throughout as we got to know the characters. It was uncomfortable, but very smart as Carlisle managed to subtly convince all of Sanders' family to convince her to go through with it. But did she? Not yet. Rather than completing the surgery or killing the President, she fought back; with that, this becomes a waiting game.
Ultimately, there is still a significant concern with this show. Can it sustain a full 15-episode season? We're not even going to worry about a season 2 yet, but when you have a story that is this serialized, you run the risk of having a few duds in there.
For now, though, a massive round of applause must be given to CBS for even going against their typical grain of "same old" crime dramas, and giving us a new and super-intense show. It's difficult to watch at times, but "Hostages" is a network show that almost feels like cable. In an age of declining broadcast ratings, that is very much a good thing.
What was your take on the pilot tonight? We want to hear some of your thoughts below!

In spite of being aware of the ill effects associated with smoking, including several forms of cancer, the habit is still prevalent among many, including pregnant women. Smoking during pregnancy accounts for an estimated 20 to 30 percent of low-birth weight babies.
So, all the pregnant women should keep the following in mind before lighting a cigarette.
— According to Dr. Shobha Gupta, Medical Director & Infertility Specialist from Mother's Lap IVF Centre, smoking among pregnant women may lead to birth of premature babies. "Baby's who are born too early are always at risk of high infections and their organs are not developed properly. In extreme cases babies may even die because of low birth weight," she added.
— Most importantly, the placenta is at risk. It is the organ which helps to develop the uterus during pregnancy and later provides nutrition to your baby.
Dr. Gupta said that if one tends to smoke during pregnancy, it may "prevent the placenta from giving proper nutrients and oxygen to the baby that is needed". "Smoking might also cause the placenta to get separated from the womb too early which is extremely dangerous for the baby and mother too," she added.
— Dr. Anubha Singh, Gynecologist and IVF Expert, explained that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is 30 percent more likely to affect your baby as compared to non-smokers. Women who smoke are also twice as likely to have a miscarriage as compared to their non-smoking expectant mothers.
— Passive smoking also affects your unborn. Studies show that for a pregnant woman, being around the people who smoke increases the risk of their child being born at less than normal weight and may also lead to growth issues, added Dr. Anubha Singh.
Hence, quitting the habit of smoking is the best option for the health of both the mother and the baby.

For the week ending 12 August 2006 / 18 Av 5766
Parshat Ekev
If Bnei Yisrael carefully observe even those "minor" mitzvot that are usually "trampled" underfoot, Moshe promises them that they will be the most blessed of the nations of earth. Moshe tells Bnei Yisrael that they will conquer Eretz Canaan little by little, so that the land will not be overrun by wild animals in the hiatus before Bnei Yisrael are able to organize and settle the whole land. After again warning Bnei Yisrael to burn all carved idols of Canaanite gods, Moshe stresses that the Torah is indivisible and not open to partial observance. Moshe describes the Land of Israel as a land of wheat, barley, grapes, figs, and pomegranates, a land of oil-yielding olives and date-honey. Moshe cautions Bnei Yisrael not to become haughty and think that their success in Eretz Yisrael is a result of their own powers or vigor; rather, it was Hashem who gave them wealth and success. Nor did Hashem drive out the Canaanites because of Bnei Yisrael's righteousness, but rather because of the sins of the Canaanites, for the road from Sinai had been a catalogue of large and small sins and rebellions against Hashem and Moshe. Moshe details the events after Hashem spoke the 10 Commandments at Sinai, culminating in his bringing down the second set of Tablets on Yom Kippur. Aharon's passing is recorded as is the elevation of the levi'im to Hashem's ministers. Moshe points out that the 70 souls who went down to Egypt have now become like the stars of the heaven in abundance. After specifying the great virtues of the Land of Israel, Moshe speaks the second paragraph of the Shema, conceptualizing the blessings that accompany keeping mitzvot and the curse that results from non-observance.
Being There Now
"Beware for yourselves, lest your heart be seduced and you turn astray and serve gods of others and prostrate yourself to them." (11:16)
In our day and age, idol worship seems rather quaint.
The overwhelming desire to bow down to a large dolly severely taxes our imagination; yet King Menashe told Rav Ashi in a dream, that had Rav Ashi lived in his days he would have hiked up his cloak and scuttled off to find an idol to bow down to, so powerful was the attraction of idol worship.
It's hard for us to conceive of the attraction of idolatry because in the time of the Second Holy Temple, the Sages nullified the desire for it, but think of our own era's obsession with pursuit of physical pleasure, and you'll get an idea of what the drive to worship idols must have been like: Imagine giant car ads featuring some idol draped around the hottest set of wheels, or the TV awash with ads featuring large stone statues beguiling us to use a certain brand of toothpaste!
In a more subtle way, however, idol worship has far from vanished from our world.
The essence of idolatry is the belief that I can buy the future; that the sun, the rains and the other forces of nature can be bought off with a quick sacrifice or two. In other words, "We have the technology." With one small step for a man, we can control the world, the stars and beyond. The future is ours! This is the philosophy of the West. Lip service may be paid to the idea of a G-d, but He is lucky if He gets more than a Sunday morning visit. The real worship of the West is technology and its unlimited promise of control.
The Arabs, on the other hand, have a strong, some might say fanatic, belief in a G-d, but are obsessed with immorality. The Talmud tells us," Ten portions of immorality descended to the world – Arabia took nine of them". Islam must be the only theistic religion whose concept of an afterlife is rampant immorality.
In his interpretation of Nevuchadnezzar's dream, the prophet Daniel envisioned a huge statue. Its head was of gold; its torso and arms were of silver; its stomach and thighs were of copper; its legs of iron; and its feet — one of iron and one of earthenware. (Daniel 2:31)
The Arizal says that this statue was an embodiment of the world-historical exiles through which the Jewish People would suffer and endure: The crown of the statue represents Egypt, the root of all exile; the head of gold symbolizes the exile of Babylon; the arms of silver stand for the exile of Persia, and the stomach of copper is Greece. The legs of iron, which correspond to the exile of Rome, divide into feet, one of iron and the other of earthenware: Meaning that in the very last stages of history, in which we now find ourselves, the two dominant powers would be the descendents of the Roman Empire, i.e. the nations of the West, and the Empire of Arabia.
Like two feet, the two last Empires of exile must work in tandem to be effective. A person with only one hand can still use it to good advantage, someone with one foot, however, is virtually incapacitated. The feet must work together if they are to be of use.
In the third paragraph of the Shema, the Torah warns us, "Do not stray after your hearts and after your eyes," (Bamidbar 15:39). "After your hearts" refers to idol worship; "after your eyes" refers to immorality. Rabbi Mendel Mishkelov said, in the name of his teacher the Vilna Gaon, that idol worship and immorality always go hand in hand — or better — "foot with foot", for, as we mentioned, Rome and its current cultural heirs – the nations of the West – epitomize idol worship, and the empire of Arabia – immorality.
But why should idolatry and immorality be connected, and why do the feet represent them?
The feet want to take us somewhere else; they want to be anywhere but here. They want the future now.
This is the symptom of the age: To be there — while I'm still here.
Hidden beneath an apparent similarity to eating and other physical desires, the deeper attraction of immorality is a distortion of the ultimate pleasure of basking in the radiance of the Divine Presence — a pleasure reserved for the World to Come. It cannot be experienced here and now. If there is a distant glimmer of that radiance in this world, it exists in the Shabbat experience, and Shabbat is the time of family closeness.
When G-d told Avraham to forsake his environment of idol worship, He said, "Go for yourself!" The sentence could equally well be translated "Go to yourself!" The Hebrew word for "Go" is exactly the same as the word for "to yourself." In other words, our journey in this world is to ourselves, to connect to our essence, to our soul, which is a part of G-d, not to try to buy the future and have it now.
This is the common denominator of idol worship and immorality — the desire to consume the future now. The feet, the agents of locomotion want to run, to be there now. Their correct task, however, is to lead us to our higher selves, for only that will bring us to perfection at its appropriate time and place.

For Ford, Small Cars Are Big Business
In order to reach out to a greater number of consumers, Ford is placing bets on smaller, more inexpensive cars in order to get the Blue Oval into more hands around the globe. During a roundtable discussion at this week's North American International Auto Show, CEO Alan Mulally noted that smaller cars like the Fiesta and Ka will account for an increasing share of the global auto market, including the United States.
The pattern of growth for smaller vehicles stems from the increasing costs of cars overall, as more and more technology finds its way in and causes the price to inflate. Despite padding automaker's profit margins — Ford has seen double-digit growth thanks to increasing prices — it is also spurring people to turn to more affordable options, The Detroit News reports.
In turn, this makes the small car market a more crucial one, and Ford hopes to be waiting with arms wide open, Mulally implied. "We have to find a way," he said. "All of our data say the economics are very, very important."
Mulally also spoke of the growth potential in the post-recession U.S. as uncertain incomes and rising vehicle prices converge. As that happens, smaller models that are already popular abroad — like Ford's EcoSport utility vehicle — may find new opportunities in the States.
"I think over time, you'll see even smaller cars in the United States," he said, per The Detroit News. "I think, in time, [the EcoSport] will be here."
Personal mobility has been a priority for Mulally, who said that Ford will continue to partner with big cities and their planning departments. He cited Chongqing, a city of 35 million in China, as such an example. The Detroit News notes that Ford says mega cities — cities with more than 10 million people — will grow in number from 23 to 27 around the world by 2025, which could pose some environmental and social dilemmas as they relate to personal mobility.
To respond to such issues, Ford has drawn up a sustainability blueprint that asserts by 2050, the company will have a network made up of "very different cars" that will communicate between one another, and the infrastructure around them, The Detroit News reports.
Mulally, who recently committed to remaining on board at Ford through the end of the year amid speculations that he was contemplating a move to Microsoft, told Reuters that he still remains deeply committed to the day-to-day operations as well as setting Ford's long-term strategy.
"I'm still doing everything I did," he told reporters at the Detroit auto show. "I'm just spending more time on the longer term issues and I'm right there on the day-to-day issues. I'm the CEO." His comments were reflecting the handing of the weekly Business Plan Review to Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields. It's in these weekly meetings that Ford addresses the day-t0-day running of things.
"It's not like I'm doing one or the other," Mulally said, per Reuters. "Mark runs the BPR (business plan review) in the leader's chair and I'm right there with him every step of the way."

What is a spiritual leader?
Question: "What is a spiritual leader?"
Answer: There are several definitions for spiritual leader, and the term brings to mind different things to different people. Some think of a spiritual leader as a sort of guru. Others think of him/her as a life coach, one who can guide others through the problems and trials of life. The Bible describes a spiritual leader as one who possesses the spiritual gift of leadership, the ability to lead others as a direct result of the gifting received from, and performed by the power of, the Holy Spirit.
The biblical spiritual leader understands that his/her leadership is one of servanthood. The spiritual leader leads by example, as Jesus did, who said He came to serve others, not to be served by them (Matthew 20:25–28). The spiritual leader recognizes that he is first and foremost a servant. Jesus modeled the true servant style of leadership, when He, the Lord incarnate, bent down and washed the feet of His disciples, teaching them that the true measure of a leader is his willingness to first serve others (John 13:12–17).
The spiritual leader also recognizes that his role in the church is "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12), and he concerns himself with doing just that. Spiritual leaders know that their main task is to sanctify the people of God, and their prayer is the same as Jesus' prayer to the Father: "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth" (John 17:17). Like Jesus, the spiritual leader knows that the Word of God is the food of the soul and that it alone sanctifies. Rather than acquiescing to the "felt needs" of the people he leads, he shepherds others to maturity in the faith by speaking the truth in love so that those he leads "will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ" (Ephesians 4:15).
Finally, the spiritual leader is concerned with the souls of those he leads. This is not to say that he cares nothing for the physical needs of his people. But his primarily responsibility is leading them to spiritual maturity so that they will be fully equipped and "no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming" (Ephesians 4:14).
