16th December, 1971 – the milestone of victory of Bangalee, after a brief interlude of couple of years morphed into an epitaph of failure. In the wee hours of the fateful night of 15th August, 1975, all our gains, all the glory, joy and pride of Bangalee abruptly turned into numbness of pain, anguish and oblivion.
A short journey on the shining path of our victory soon ended and the nation started wandering incognito in the labyrinth of dark conspiracy and bloody conflict. Then we witnessed the celebration of destruction of our national identity, our political history, our constitution and all our institutions. We helplessly observed mighty resurgence of enemies of 71. National heroes were killed in the prison. Today, after thirty-four years, the execution of the verdict of the supreme court and hanging of five killers of women and child at the gallows of justice sowed enormous optimism that the nation could get out of a period of stigma. But noxious cloud of conspiracy is still drifting in our sky.
The alliance of beneficiaries of 75 mayhem and assassins of 71 genocide are still active and waiting for another opportune moment to eclipse our existence as a secular, democratic, modern nation. Execution of these killers may further sharpen teeth and nails of the alliance of serpents to launch a new phase of war against Bangalee. Today let us rally behind this government, join the march of new struggle; trial of the killers of 71 and struggle to democratically uproot the poison ivy of fascist neo-nationalists – the illegitimate creation of 75 conspiracy. Our nightly sky has again lit up in celebration with myriads of twinkling stars of hope and dream. Under the canopy of this bedecked sky let us forge a steely national unity and prepare for the dawn of a new day.
Let this morning give us new resolve to defeat the Trojan horses of conspiracy and to stride forward to a new era of progress and prosperity. We are the Bangalee, we shall build our own destiny, 71 will remain as our lighthouse through eternity.

I had hoped Hasina and Rehana could set an example of forgiveness and reconciliation by commuting the sentences to life in prison (through President). Of course, no one can demand forgiveness and it did not come from them. The law of the land took its course just as the now defunct Indemnity act of Bangladesh once gave immunity to the coup leaders from prosecution. How ironic!
I am against death penalty, so the hangings did not elate me. I thought Hasina and her party doing 'Shokrana monajat' in National parliament after the hanging was over the top. They could have done it privately. It seemed rather obscene to me.
It will be interesting to see how far AL goes to de-legitimize all governments between 1975 to 1996. I guess the more they try do it by enacting laws and such, the more divided the country will become politically – i.e. AL and BNP being pitted against each other over exclusive claim on history.
I also think no one should doubt that vast majority of people of Bangladesh who may not like Khaleda and her sons will nevertheless always remember Ziaur Rahman as one of the greatest leaders of Bangladesh – one who boldly declared independence of Bangladesh and organized armed resistance in 1971. Not to mention he was immensely popular as President of Bangladesh and was elected by popular vote notwithstanding having been an un-elected cheif martial law administrator earlier. This is probably a rare example in world history.

Moni Bhai,
Thanks.It's not possible always to express one's inner feelings even in simple words but your's short article expressed mine.With the five,we can say "we have finally done it".A long suppressed pain has been released with a deep sigh !!
Please keep me posted.

Yes, "It's the Dawn of a New Day", indeed. An appropriate title, indeed! However, we will need to finish the remaining part of this. We will need to get the other five and HANG 'em HIGH. We should hunt the behind-the scene "munafiks" who are still alive & beating vibrantly, pretending to be patriots. Then we will HAVE to try the Nizamis, Mujahids, Sakas and the like. And only then we will achieve the "Dawn of the Best Day". Our Nation, our People awaits that day.
@ Bangladeshi:
You know that just a couple of days ago Chemical Ali, notorious cousin of Saddam and architect of Kurd genocide in Halabja was hanged to death. Present president of Iraq is a Kurd and Governor of Kurdistan is also a Kurd. Both are strong opponent of death penalty. On this occasion of Chemical Ali's execution both gave spontaneous approval because the dimension of crime has overwhelmed their judicious thought process. For these killers, I was even a staunch advocate of not allowing them to be buried in the soil of Bangladesh. Here intensity of hatred has overruled even my religious convictions. Your comments on Zia are in line with your desire for clemency of these killers. You are not alone. There are plenty like you who nationally celebrate invented birthday of the leader's wife on 15th August. But for others it is the day they lost their identity, their history, literally became orphan. Tajuddin, Nazrul, Mansoor, Kamruzzaman, Taher, hundreds of Muktijoddhas in uniform, Ahsanullah Master, Kibria, Ivy Rahman, victims of Udichi and Ramna Batomool, and many more – I do not want a single more name is added to this list, no more mockery with justice and basic human rights. I do not want the beneficiaries and heirs of these killers should be allowed anymore to use the premises of democracy to install their Islamic killing and money-minting machine again. On the contrary, you want to ensure that not a single more killer is executed. You are proud Bangladeshi. I am proud Bangalee. These chasm of differences in perception and conviction are practically irreconcilable and they preclude us from being tangible partners in a democracy-dance. This is the reality. I advise you to read my article, 'Democracy in Bangladesh: Reality vs. Utopia' printed here a while ago. I appreciate your comment.
@ NI Khan Bhai:
I am sure I dream your dreams. Because we are comrades-in-war; we inhaled same air in the bunker pervaded by smell of gun powder, we together saw the bayoneted bodies of our kin floating in Karnafuli, we together still bear the scar live in our heart of the dreadful memory of reading our sister's last page of diary written by blood on the wall of the concentration camp of Islamic soldiers. Through the pains, deaths and destruction, the war has galvanized our souls like a soul, ever inseparable.
@Imran Zaman: Thank you for your inspiring comments
@Mr.Islam – I do not wish to comment on the content of your comment but I would recommend you to use simple english sentences in your write-ups. Your flamboyant style of writing is amusing though; sort of sounds like AL street leaders. Have a great day!

I am sure BNP's foundation will be violently shaken once all the assassins of Bangabandhu are hanged. BNP's politics thrived on sustenance and nurturance of the self-confessed assassins. It was killer Zia who initiated the process by creating the infamous indemnity ordinance to pardon the killers he had assembled to stage a mayhem on that fateful day. Zia also appointed collaborators like Shah Aziz, Abdul Alim and many others as PM and ministers. That tradition of rehabilitating the killers has been further carried on by his wife who has tremendous liking for Jamaat-e-Islami war criminals. It is Jamaat that is eating into BNP's popularity.
BNP will succumb to its sins if the pre-meditated grenade based murder plan on Hasina is divulged to the world. The government must unearth the grenade attack on Hasina.
I agree with Afia Khan's comments, completely. Every action that Zia took since the murder of our BongoBondhu is proof enough that Ziaur Rahman was involved, and that he did not feel ashamed to steer the recently liberated nation away from it's original goals. He may have been a so-called liberation war hero but his actions since, questions his real intentions and patriotism. He was a selfish person who deemed murder, deceit and dissing our true principles, ways to ensure "his" selfish desires. We had won our liberation from the Pakistanis but it's "these" agents of the ISI, who have been active since in brainwashing the new generations into believing the untruth about our glorious history.
The attempt to tarnish our glorious victory in 1971 didn't just end with the incident of 15th August, 1975. I believe, 1-11 was also an attempt to destroy our long march toward Democracy, which Pakisan, in reality, hasn't been able to trump yet. Look at the people who were most visible during the 1-11 period. Most of these were people who surrounded Ziaur Rahman after 15th August. General Matin, Moinul Hossain, Rajakar Abdul Alim (acting as Mannan Bhuiya's confidante), for example. Then you had certain bloggers, who were front line Muktijodhas but were writing and behaving like agents of the the then intelligence agencies, spewing vermin about our politicians, political processes and great leaders, as if with the sole intention of derailing our progress towards Democracy. Who would want to destroy our progress as a nation? It is, most likely, agents and sympathizers of Pakistan, those who still can not overcome the defeat of December 16, 1971.

Joy Bangla! Joy Bangabandhu! We are going back to the 1972 constitution. Democracy, socialism, secularism are back. Big victory for democracy and rule of law. The BNP-Jamaat alliance almost took Bangladesh to the brink of a failed state where perverted Islam was used to terrorize and kill its opponents. They even employed the state apparatus to assassinate the top brass of the Awami League. But almighty Allah saved our great leader on that day. We are becoming cleaner day by day since the Awami League came to power. The execution of the self-confessed assassins is a landmark in our history where justice and rule of law prevailed giving a major blow to evil forces that sustained the murderers by providing the killers money and shelter for petty cheap political gains.
Let me tell you my first encounter with killer colonel Farukh in the 80s. I saw him getting down from a brand new Mercedes. He was dressed in an expensive suit and had a revolver in an upholster which he was deliberately displaying. At that time he was the chairman of a terrorist outfit called Freedom Party created by Ziaur Rahman to terrorize Awami League followers.I think BNP will crumble like a house of cards once the rest of the killers are hanged and the 1972 constituion restored.
DeshPremik
I think the Awami League Government is on the right track. So far, so good. We expect more good from this democratically elected regime through a free and fair election since 1975. It's thrilling to watch us go back to the principles on which our liberation was based.
With the repeal of 5th amendment the political fusion of faith merchants and throat slitting Naxalites and Bhasanites under the banner of Zia's soldiers now will have a natural death.
Bangla-Democrat
I wish AL well.But so far its not that good. Chattra League is beyond control and has many saboteurs and infiltrators within.
From my experience I have seen students have become too restless and reckless indulging in corrupt practices. Rowdy behavior amongst students is pretty common. In the process they have badly hurt their self-esteem in the public eye.
Then there was one heading in a local paper saying mobil oil and soil are being mixed to market them as fertiliser. Syndication of market is still very much alive and the government appears to have lost control over the market.
The AL has many more good achievements over the few flops. In a year it has more achievements to feel proud of.
Glitches may be few but the opposition will magnify several times to wage a propaganda war.

On the Judgment of Mujib killing: Only your conscience can decide whether it was a case of revenge or it was justice served.
The EU finally said that the trial was politically motivated. At the same time, Amnesty International also spoke against capital punishment and said that the convicted killers of SK Mujib should be given life sentences rather than being hanged. The fact of the matter is that the case was tried in a civil court instead of a military court. Hundreds of soldiers took part in the revolt; it was a clear case of a popular successful coup to overturn a dictatorial regime. After the removal of the BAKSAL government people were seen to be rejoicing like Eid, distributing sweets amongst one another all over the country. The reality is Sk Mujibs sycophants and his family members killed his image to the countrymen by their misrule and injustices, and finally it was BAKSAL that destroyed Sk Mujib completely. After the sad assassination of Sk Mujibur Rahman and the fall of BAKSAL rule, the Awami Leaders those who joined Khondokar Mostaque's government are also seen to be distributing sweets and giving long speeches after SK mujib's killers were executed. Many of our younger generation are unaware of what happened 34 years ago. People of Bangladesh have a right to know what exactly happened and why it happened. Whether it is to establish a true history of the nation or to serve justice, in either case the real truth must reflect, otherwise it will be a "miscarriage of justice" and a "false history" in the history book of Bangladesh. There is no doubt at all that Sk Hasina has successfully established a false history and manipulated the judiciary just to hide the wrong doing of Sk Mujibs rule. In 1971, we fought the liberation war to free our nation from oppression, misrule and injustice; we sacrificed three million lives (30 LAK SHAHEEDS) for our freedom, we did not fight the liberation war to create another oppressor. Sk Mujib created a draconian force in the name of Rakkhi Bahini to eliminate any political opposition. Anyone not towing the official line was either thrown in the prison or eliminated. According to various estimates 45,000 political adversaries were killed during the mujib rule. Around half a million people died in the man made famine of 1974. There was no shortage of relief materials, but those did not reach the hungry and the needy, the relief materials were kept by the ruling circle and finally sold in the black market. Struggle for food between humans and animals in the waste were a common sight in the cities. At night Dhaka city was carpeted by emaciated destitute, dead bodies were deprived of minimal burial rites. At the same time, people witnessed the royal style weddings and birthday ceremonies at the gonobhabon, the official residence of Sk Mujibur Rahman. Public opinion in the country went completely against Sk Mujibs rule; he was no longer able to cope with the pressure of growing opposition, he finally declared emergency in December 1974 and fundamental rights of people were suspended, political activities totally banned, all except 4 government controlled news papers were closed. That was our shadinotha! On 25th January 1975 Sk Mujib made him self the President, changed the constitution through 4th amendmemt in just 20 minutes without any debate. He declared BAKSAL, all other political parties were banned and people were forced to join BAKSAL. Sk Mujibur Rahman became the unchallenged dictator. Misrule and abuse of power continued by the three famous prince's of that time namely, Sk kamal, Jamal, and Moni, as well as the atrocities of the Rakki Bahini was un bearable. It was a suffocating situation in the country and people wanted relief, they looked towards the patriotic elements of the military, which could not ignore their call and a need for national survival. The military response came in the form of the Aug 15, 1975 Revolution. As an individual it is entirely up to you to make your own judgment based upon the information and the facts above. I condemn all killings.
@ M.Sarfaraj Ahmed Azad:
Your narrative is a subliminal eulogy to the killing of 75 which clashed with your conclusion 'I condemn killing'. You have mangled facts with your own political conviction and sadly labeled it as history. Thus, in your write-up, a 'popular successful coup' had culminated into a conclusion of 'August 15, 1975 revolution'. You carefully avoided the chapter of cold blooded killing of women, children, handicapped person and pregnant woman in your description. I would not disagree with many of your observations, if I were not a disillusioned member having thorough insight of the strong armed insurgency that was formed immediate after liberation and launched war against nascent democracy and nation. The main components of that anti-government insurgency were resurrected armed collaborators of 71, all Maoists of different shade and Sirajul Alam khan's army and were receiving logistics internally from repatriated and reinstated civil and army bureaucrats from within the government and externally from Pakistan-Saudi-China-America consortium. Now when a specter of proxy war was threatening the existence of our democracy and our newly gained independence, creation of Rakkhi Bahini largely with the freedom fighters, instead of dragging army into quelling a domestic armed insurgency, was justified and not without precedent in the history of global politics. In this process, if your statistics of 45,000 casualties is true, it was the collateral of that insurgency and as an ex-insurgent I can challenge you to establish the fact that most of the victims were associates including parliament members of Awami League, CPB and NAP (M). The brutalities and atrocities perpetrated by the insurgents alliance does not match with the action of Rakkhi Bahini, only having parallels with the recent terror reign of Babar-Tareq-Bangla Bhai under last BNP regime. However list of victims are getting longer faster with new names like Kibria, Ivy, Ahsan Master and many more knowns and unknowns and now insurgents can hide their blood-thirsty stiletto under the cloak of democracy. BKSAL was a political canopy where all pro-liberation political forces and all professional organizations clustered to fight internal and external saboteurs and conspirators. I agree with you, civil rights were curtailed and democracy was controlled. Under extraordinary crisis of civil war, by suspending civil rights once in 1861 and then again in 1862, if Abraham Lincoln can still be revered as the patriarch of modern democracy, what made Bangabandhu a dictator if he suspended civil liberties and forged national unity to fight inexplicable hostilities unleashed by opponents of the government and to transition the country from post-war armed anarchy and hooliganism to a sound democratic future. I agree with you that the 73 famine was artificial, here I want to add a historical fact that this famine was engineered and used as propaganda tool by internal and external conspirators including admirers of 'Bottomless Basket' theory. 'Royal style weddings and birthday ceremonies at the gonobhabon' is an inflated statement but there is grain of truth in it, I agree. This exaggeration is also noticed in your narration of corruption in the then Government and this statement is reduced to a parochial propaganda tool if you inadvertently fail to mention the actions and pronunciations of Bangabandhu against prevalent corruption.
Finally, stymied by so much controversies and biased aberrations, your narrative can be hardly considered as history untold. It is more like rewind and replay of the memoir of a blind sympathizer or remorseless catacomb of post-liberation anti-government armed insurgency or their current political façade – Naxal-Jamaat-Zia alliance. Thank you for your perspective.
Wait a minute..
Wasn't it Sheikh Mujib who killed democracy in June 1975 by outlawing all political parties and establishing BAKSAL?
Some folks here seem to have very selective memory!

A heart won't beat once it's been ripped out of the chest Indiana Jones style. But disembodied heart cells, when nurtured in a petri dish, will beat on their own.
Stem cells have been transformed into adult cells of almost every kind, so it's not surprising to learn that stem cells have been isolated and nurtured into the three types of cell that make up the heart.
Scientists plopped down stem cells in a petri dish and fed them on nutrients that encouraged growth of the smooth muscle cells that make up the blood vessels of the heart, the endothelial cells that line the heart's vessels, and the cardiac muscle cells that contract the heart and push blood through it.
Once all the cells develop, though, they "try" to form a heart on their own. They don't have the resources needed to develop the actual organ, but they can (and do) start sending out a pulse that causes the cardiac cells to contract.
This — along with the ability to make stem cells with a person's undifferentiated blood cells — may be an incredible step for science. The disembodied heart cells respond to drugs the way interior heart cells would. This allows researchers to test drugs without putting someone's intact ticker at risk. For example, if a person's heart can't take chemo, the petri dish will let doctors know. Right now the test takes about a year and costs $15,000, but someday we could sample medicinal treatments externally.

John Hollands Lewes Railway Connections
Railway enthusiast John Hollands will talk about how Lewes became connected to our railway network, and other matters associated with its complicated railway history in the nineteenth century, including why Lewes has had three stations; the impact railways had on the town; some notable comings and goings; and what Mr Burwood Godlee of Leighside had to do with it all. John's father was a railway worker, and as a child, he spent much time watching train movements from his father's allotment on what was once the Leighside Estate, now the Railway Land.
We shall be serving coffee and biscuits prior to the meeting. As usual all will be welcome.

"This district affords some bids that are hardly ever heard of at Selborne. In the first place considerable flocks of cross-beaks have appeared this summer in the pine groves belonging to this house; the water-ousel is said to haunt the mouth of the Lewes river, near Newhaven; and the Cornish chough builds, I know, all along the chalky cliffs of the Sussex shore.
I was greatly pleased to see little parties of ring-ousels (my newly discovered migraters) scattered, at intervals, all the way along the Sussex downs from Chichester to Lewes. Let them come from whence they will, it looks very suspicious that they are cantoned along the coast in order to pass the channel when severe weather advances. They visit us again in April, as it should seem, in their return; and are not to be found in the dead of winter. It is remarkable that they are very tame, and seem to have no manner of apprehensions of danger from a person with a gun. There are bustards on the wide downs near Brighthelmstone. No doubt you are acquainted with the Sussex downs: the prospects and rides around Lewes are most lovely!"

Well into the 20th century the death of a householder of substance was closely followed by the sale of their household goods, conducted on the premises by the local auctioneer. They were widely attended by friends and neighbours with time on their hands, whether or not they planned to buy. I have attended such sales myself as recently as the 1960s.
The first Lewes railway station in Friars Walk is shown above, photographed in 1964, not long before its demolition. It stood approximately on the site now occupied by the redundant Magistrates Court building. The roadsign shows that Friars Walk then accommodated two- way traffic. Parked cars, which include a Mini, are becoming intrusive. The Railway Inn, now a private house, is in the foreground.

The future of occupational exposure limits. Can OELs be saved?
We believe that industrial hygienists and allied professionals consider OELs to be one of the most effective tools for performing risk assessments upon which risk management strategies for worker protection can be based. We may never have OELs for all chemical hazards; however, it is critical that we accelerate the establishment of credible and respected OELs to provide a basis for protecting workers. The first step in this large task may be to come to some agreement on a unitary scientific approach to assessing hazards and applying hazard assessments to the setting of OELs. However, many impediments exist to this seemingly obvious solution, including legal, regulatory, economic, political and cultural issues and other factors outside of the usual scientific arguments on health effects. These difficulties have stalled development of OELs in the U.S. and, seemingly, the rest of the world. OELs that have been developed outside of the regulatory system as guidance have been subject to significant litigation. At our present rate of progress, it is extremely unlikely that significant numbers of new OELs will be developed. Litigation could further reduce, restrict or eliminate the efforts of organizations like ACGIH to generate new OELs. Many in our profession consider this possibility unacceptable. So, how can we revive the OEL-setting process in a way that benefits all parties? In Europe, REACH requires the development of DNELs. However, these values will not be consensus recommendations - they will be determined by the manufacturer or supplier of the material. Small manufacturers will not have the resources to do exhaustive studies, and the level of scientific review of the DNELs, once submitted, is unclear. How effective this system will be in protecting workers remains to be seen. Control banding may be an alternative approach to OELs. In theory, a well executed process, guided by professionals who appreciate the science of toxicology, can set hazard bands for materials that lack adequate toxicity and hazard data needed for a formal OEL. However, the theory has not been adequately tested to see if indeed the process is protective. The specificity and sensitivity of control banding has been only minimally validated, and the preliminary results have not been impressive. Some governments around the world are still establishing OELs. These values are not generally applied outside of the host country and may include many more considerations than just health effects. Additionally, actual measurements for ambient air levels of the OEL substances are rarely performed except in a few countries. This suggests that the traditional use of OELs is not widely practiced worldwide. In closing, we believe that OELs are absolutely critical! We hope that this paper will encourage stakeholders worldwide to discuss the critical issues, continue the dialogue and help determine the future for OELs. By working together, our profession can, with others, forge a way forward.

A second state of this fine mile-stone map of Africa with a decorative title and scale cartouche. As the title indicates, this map is based on the geography of Guillaume Sanson (1633-1703), in this case his map of 1668. The map present the Empire des Abissins (Abyssinia) as cextending far to the south of the Equator. The name of S.Laurens is re-introduced for the island of Madagascar. The fictitious island of St. Helenaz nova is still on the map in the South Atlantic.

A long line of vehicles on the Causeway waiting to enter Singapore at 5.45pm on January 23, 2014.
Motorists can expect long queues due to the checkpoint jam at Causeway over the Chinese New Year period, with some travellers reporting delays of more than three hours before clearing Malaysian Customs on Friday.
Traffic is likely to build up even more in the coming days.
Madam Sarah Ong was also unprepared for such a massive checkpoint jam as she left her home at 5am yesterday.
"I expected that there would be a slight delay with the traffic, but I did not expect to wait more than three hours to cross the Causeway and clear Customs even in the early hours," said the 52-year-old housewife.
With many Malaysian workers heading home for the extended holiday period, some set off early to avoid the rush but the congestion was so bad that some bus passengers reportedly decided to alight and walk across the kilometre-long Causeway instead.
There are more than 400,000 Malaysians living and working in Singapore.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said it had opened all departure counters in anticipation of this peak period.
From Friday afternoon, ICA has been posting hourly updates online of the traffic situation at Singapore's two land checkpoints, Tuas and Woodlands, with most updates warning of heavy traffic.
At 6pm last night, travelling time across the Causeway was estimated to be 45 minutes.
At 9.05pm, the ICA said on Facebook that the departure traffic at the two checkpoints was smooth although a "backflow of traffic from Malaysia at Woodlands checkpoints remains".
It advised travellers to check the OneMotoring website before embarking on their journeys.
On a regular weekday, it is estimated that more than 50,000 vehicles use the two crossings – with even more on weekends – making it one of the busiest borders in the region.

Remembering Jonas Mekas: the Lithuanian Refugee Who Changed American Film
by Zané E. Grants-Wolff
Jonas Mekas is a legend. Even those who do not know about him, but are aware of the New York scene in the '60s and '70s or know about Lithuania have heard the name of Jonas Mekas. Yet his artistic oeuvre is elusive, and it is a rare person who can name a work by Mekas. His film-making is experimental, short in length, poetic, personal, and quite the opposite of the narrative movies which are most often associated with the idea of cinema. Jonas Mekas was a famously sharp-eyed – and also sharp-tongued – film critic and, permeating all, a poet.

Mekas the film-maker
Jonas Mekas's cinematic work is a jumble of film, with emphasis on the visual poetry of the captured moment as much as the sound. His camera participates, questions, intertwines, untangles, cuts, explores, turns on itself, dances and most importantly archives; it sketches out the face of an entire generation, as varied as Andy Warhol, who became the central figure of the New York pop-art movement; the first lady, Jackie Kennedy; the pioneering performance artist Yoko Ono; the filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer, of whom Jonas Mekas made a film portrait in 1965; and the surrealist painter and filmmaker Salvador Dalí, who came from Spain especially because he felt "something seemed to be happening in New York," and Dalí wanted to be part of it. Together in 1963-64 they made a series of happenings, which Mekas made into a short film called Salvador Dalí at Work. Mekas also made a silent film with Andy Warhol called Empire.
Revisiting rolls of footage, Mekas later made films about many of the people and places that had been a part of his earlier life. This Side of Paradise, which is about the summers that Mekas spent with the Kennedy family, was completed in 1999.
However, Mekas had been highly regarded as a filmmaker as early as 1964, when Jonas Mekas and Adolfas Mekas received the Grand Prix for best documentary of the Venice Film Festival for The Brig, a filmed stage play that has been called 'a modern inferno', written by Kenneth H. Brown as a production for the avant-garde Living Theater in NYC.
Mekas the film critic
Beginning in 1958, Mekas published a regular film diary in The Village Voice, and was able to earn money with his intellectual work – although not with his camera, but with words. In 1972, Jonas Mekas selected the most important of his writings and published them in a book called Movie Journal: The Rise of a New American Cinema, 1959-1971; it contains about a third of his Village Voice articles, and was reissued by Columbia University Press in 2016. "The book is a rich trove of cinematic wisdom, an artistic time capsule of New York at a moment of crucial energy, and a reflection of controversies and struggles regarding independent film-making that endure to this day," Richard Brody wrote in his 21st April, 2016 review in The New Yorker.
In 1954, to express his eager mind, Jonas Mekas had co-founded a publication called Film Culture, but his most extensive work belongs to The Village Voice, where Mekas worked until 1977. More than 60 interviews, along with still shots from his films, have been re-published by Spector Books under the title Conversations with Filmmakers. The publication includes interviews with Jerome Hill, Vittorio De Seta, Gregory Markopoulos, Storm De Hirsch, George and Mike Kuchar, Mike Getz, Andy Warhol, Nico Papatakis, Taylor Mead, Claes Oldenburg, Shirley Clarke, Albert and David Maysles, Tony Conrad, Peter Kubelka, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ken Jacobs, Susan Sontag, John Cassavetes, Michael Snow, Kenneth Anger, Anna Karina, Hollis Frampton, Yvonne Rainer and Carolee Schneemann, and many other avant-garde artists and filmmakers. "Each interview is a record of the artistic vision of the late 20th century and also a wonderful scrapbook and visual document of artists," notes its editor Anne König.
In order to gain access to independent movies Mekas had co-founded the Film-Makers' Cooperative, which began regular screenings at the Film-Makers Cinematheque. In 1969, Mekas contributed to setting up The Anthology Film Archives, which remains the largest and most important archive of experimental cinema. Filmmakers Jim Jarmusch and Martin Scorsese are among those who have cited Jonas Mekas as a key influence.
Mekas's poetry and music
Mekas's name also rings in the ears when we hear of musicians and bands such as The Velvet Underground and Nico, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, and Beatles singer and songwriter John Lennon during his New York years…. In May 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their famous Bed-In for Peace event and it was Jonas Mekas who filmed it. Mekas made the very first recording of the Velvet Underground, which was nothing more spectacular at that time than a recording of a blasting fun Uptown party. Today, however, this video, along with many of the other videos, has become legendary. It is a recording of a spirit of time.
Mekas is often referred to as the godfather of American avant-garde and independent cinema, one who dared to use the language of cinema to turn the ordinary into visual poetry. He lived in a whirl of experimental musicians and poets such as John Cage and Allen Ginsberg, and the mastermind of the highly influential international cooperative Fluxus (established 1960), George Maciunas, with whom Mekas shares Lithuanian origins.
However, as a sharp and often condemning critic, Mekas wrote in English, criticising commercial cinema, condemning censorship and the poverty of avant-garde artists. Through his enthusiastic criticism Mekas sought to bring a personal dimension into how the work of liberated artists and filmmakers is regarded. However, Jonas Mekas was first and foremost a poet and in his lifetime, he published numerous volumes of poetry. Mekas's poetic expression is also the underlying soundtrack of his films. Much of his written poetry was in Lithuanian. It is when Mekas makes his art, not writes about cinema, that a softer language emerges, and it is often Lithuanian. Mekas remained fluent in Lithuanian all his life, and often expressed himself on stage by singing traditional Lithuanian folk songs.
Mekas and Lithuania
Mekas always emphasised his Lithuanian origins and was keen to tell his story of war, displacement and immigrant life at the bustling heart of the American avant-garde. A sickly child in the Lithuanian countryside, Jonas had spent a lot of time reading. His writing career commenced during his teenage years in Lithuania, when he wrote essays and poetry, publishing them in an underground journal. It was also in Lithuania that Mekas began taking photographs, but his camera was confiscated by soldiers during the war before he saw the results.
In the late 1940s he fled Lithuania together with his brother Adolfas, and both were arrested and sent to a Nazi labor camp. Later the brothers spent aimless years in hiding and in displaced persons camps, where Mekas spent his days idly watching commercial movies, all the while keenly absorbing the life around them.

Along with his portrayal of the avant-garde, Lithuania and his years of displacement became the central themes of Mekas's work and he returned to them repeatedly. Living in between English and Lithuanian, the cinema became his universal language of expression. Jonas Mekas is best known for his personal cinematic diary, the most famous films being Walden (Diaries, Notes, Sketches) (1969), Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1971), and As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty (2000); the first two of them are largely about Lithuania.
In 2016 Jonas Mekas, represented by the James Fuentes Gallery in New York, had a solo show at the most famous commercial art fair in the world, ArtBasel.
In contrast to the sleek booths that surrounded him, Mekas's show at Fuentes presented a series of photographs from a D.P. Camp, Kassel/Mattenberg, where Jonas and his brother had spent four years. Mekas's film Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1971) was part of the prestigious film programme.

I had corresponded with Jonas Mekas irregularly by email since 2013, and we arranged to finally meet during the fair at the Fuentes booth.

In Memoriam Jonas Mekas
Jonas Mekas died at the age of 96 in the evening of January 23, 2019. His Facebook page announced: "Jonas passed away quietly and peacefully early this morning. He was at home with his family. He will be greatly missed but his light shines on." And indeed, Mekas light shines on and his presence can most definitely be traced to avant-garde, video art and independent film artists around the world.
In 2013, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, Jonas Mekas had a slew of shows and interviews around the world, celebrating his place in art and film history, including a survey at the Serpentine Galleries, side by side his major retrospective at the BSI in London, Pompidou Centre in Paris, Tokyo etc. Some months prior to the opening, the U.K. daily The Observer published a Jonas Mekas exhibition preview, which cited the maverick film-maker Harmony Korine famously summing up the singular spirit of Mekas: "Jonas is a true hero of the underground and a radical of the first degree – a shape-shifter and time-fucker… he sees things that others can't… his cinema is a cinema of memory and soul and air and fire. There is no one else like him. His films will live forever."
Jonas Mekas has certainly claimed his place in the history of cinema. However, his work seems to transcend genres, and in its entirety Jonas Mekas's oeuvre can be viewed as an extensive study in shaping, revisiting and poeticising memory, both individual and collective. His great friend the fashion designer Agnès B, has memorably described him as "an artist, a scribe and a keeper of memories".
In essence, Jonas Mekas was a part of all of the personalities and artists he worked alongside – he carried them in his work as much as they carried him in their art. Jonas Mekas participated in his own time and in his own documenting of it. As for the generations that came afterwards, what he has left for us in this age of technology and abundance of home-made videos, is the reminder of the beauty of life on a human scale.

Zané Elksnite Grants-Wolff is an art advisor and curator. She is of a younger generation than Mekas, but quite similarly her family left their home in Latvia during the Cold War; they watched the fall of the Berlin Wall from a displaced persons camp in Austria. In United States, she was one of the first to receive a degree in Baltic Area Studies from the University of Washington in Seattle, the only university in the U.S. where the languages and culture of all three Baltic countries are taught. In addition to majoring in English with emphasis on writing, she enthusiastically studied cinema and art history, becoming friends with many local artists and writers of her generation. Zané returned to Latvia on a Fulbright scholarship and later moved to Lithuania, where she lived for more than ten years prior to moving to Switzerland. Since 2013 she has been personally in touch with Jonas Mekas, exchanging letters and discussing work projects. They met during Art Basel in 2016.

Villagers say the massive toll wrought by the Ban Chaung coal mining project has been ignored by the government, the KNU and the companies involved in the venture.
RANGOON — Karen villagers say the massive toll on their community from the nearby Ban Chaung coal mining project has been ignored by the government, the ethnic armed group in control of the area and the companies involved in the venture.
Approved by the Ministry of Mines under the former military regime in March 2010, Mayflower Mining Enterprise Ltd. was initially allocated three land parcels in Dawei. A further three allotments were granted in March 2012, with the total size of the project spread over 2,100 acres of land in upland Tenasserim Division.
A report released on Friday by a consortium of local civil society groups alleged that Mayflower Mining had unlawfully brought in two Thai-based firms—East Star Company Ltd. And Thai Asset Mining Co. Ltd—to operate the mines and construct roads linking the Ban Chaung mines to the Dawei Special Economic Zone and a port 45 kilometers to the south in Thayetchaung Township.
Investment and mining laws require foreign firm to secure operational approval from both the Ministry of Mines and the Myanmar Investment Commission. Thant Zin, a representative of the Dawei Development Association, told a Friday press conference that there was no record of either East Star or Thai Asset Mining having approval to operate the Ban Chaung mines from either body, while Mayflower Mining appears to have no direct involvement in mining operations.
East Star commenced operations at Khon Chaung Gyi village in late 2011 and early 2012, destroying 60 acres of a cardamom plantation without informing or seeking consent from landowners, the report said. The company also seized land in nearby Kyaut Htoo village, setting up an operations camp close to a Burma Army base.
Naw Pe The Law, a spokeswoman for the Tarkapaw civil society group, said that if the project was granted permission to expand and encompass all six allotments, more than 20 villages and 330,000 people would be affected by land seizures or the environmental effects of the project.
Despite being in its infancy, the Ban Chaung project has had a dramatic impact on the local environment since operations commenced. Villagers told civil society groups that East Star had dumped tailings into streams, while the nearby water table had acidified and killed local marine life. Mining dust and recurring coal fires—which East Star made cursory efforts to extinguish by covering waste piles with dirt—have led to an increase in respiratory illnesses, while others reported an outbreak of skin diseases.
Registered in Bangkok and Rangoon in 2010, Mayflower Mining was founded by Kyaw Win, a close associate of former junta deputy Gen. Maung Aye who established his fortune in the timber trade in the early 1990s. Kyaw Win's move into banking in 1994 saw the establishment of the Myanmar Mayflower Bank, which at its height was the third largest financial institution in the country before it was shuttered in 2005 following a money laundering investigation.
The Ban Chaung project area, around 50 kilometers from the Thai border, has long been under the de facto control of the 4th Brigade of the Karen National Union (KNU). Despite mining operations falling in the armed group's control area, the KNU has regularly deflected accountability for the project.
Thant Zin of the Dawei Development Association told The Irrawaddy that villagers had attempted to petition the ethnic armed group at least five times to stop the project since 2013 without receiving a response. On some occasions, the KNU told villagers to seek redress from the Burmese government and the Ministry of Mines, who in turn referred the villagers back to the KNU.
In January 2014, the first secretary of the Mergui-Tavoy District KNU office attempted to order a temporary suspension of the 60 acres currently being mined. Operations continued as normal. Two months later, the district KNU office signed a contract with villagers stating that mining would not expand beyond its present operations. Protests continued, with a November 2014 local blockade of access roads built by East Star and Thai Asset eventually removed by the Karen National Liberation Army, the armed wing of the KNU.
Friday's report on the Ban Chaung project called on the Burmese government to cease granting mining approvals in ethnic areas without the consent of the local community and for the KNU to end its support for local mining operations.
Efforts to enshrine community protections as a precondition of mining projects have been glacial.
An attempt to update the junta-era 1994 Mining Law, which would modernize the rules under which foreign and local companies are permitted to mine in Burma, has been stalled in Union Parliament for more than two years. Regulations establishing an environmental impact assessment procedure for the Ministry of Mines remain in draft form despite more than a year of deliberation.
Vani Sathisan, legal adviser for the International Commission of Jurists, said that the ongoing dispute over the Ban Chaung project highlighted the pressing need for legislative reform.
"This is a country where businesses normally proceed without input from local communities. Such secrecy fosters serious human rights abuses," she told The Irrawaddy.
Coal fired power projects, for which the Ban Chaung project was established to help service, have in recent years been a growing source of community discontent in southern Burma, particularly Tenasserim Division and coastal areas of Mon State.
Over the last five years, a total of seven coal-fired power plants have been proposed in Tenasserim, with a combined maximum generating power of nearly 14,000 megawatts.
A proposed 4,000MW power plant to service the Dawei SEZ was scuttled by the Thein Sein government in January 2012 on environmental grounds, in the wake of community opposition to the project. Last year, Thailand's Andaman Power & Utility said it had reached agreement with the Ministry of Electric Power to construct a scaled-down, 500MW coal plant to power the SEZ, where future development plans are largely underwritten by Thai investment.

Who am I? It's a question we can spend a lifetime trying to figure out. How we express ourselves as individuals as well as members of society can be difficult. Nureynu, Paul, Sofiia, Maruaf, Rafi, and Fahian question their identity and the ways they express themselves in the photo-series 'Who am I?' Determining what makes them unique and how their interests play a part in their identity.
Rafi's photos focus on his connection to his local community and how his surroundings have played a part in forming his identity. His "favourite photo is of Spotlight because is shows how they inspire kids". As someone who has spent a lot of time at Spotlight, the centre plays a big part in his identity and it continues to help him develop as a person. Here, he formed friendships and was able to try new things, becoming the person he is today.
Sofiia used her photos to illustrate how her interests and hobbies play a part in her identity. When taking photos, she focused on how she shows her personality in the things she wears and the way the she sees elements of herself in the world.
"I like nature, it reminds me of the place where I was born".
"This photos shows my favourite colours on the things that I like, the piano, computer".
"I like to watch anime".
As a car-enthusiast, many of Fahian's photos focused on the different cars he saw. He explained how cars play a large part in his identity as he likes how cars look as well as how fast they go. This interest links into his adventurous nature. Fahian loves exploring London and seeing all the tourist sites.
"I love cars in central London".
"I love coming to Spotlight, I love playing games when I come to Spotlight".
"Canary Wharf looks fashionable and inspiring".
Maruaf's photos focused on his perspective of the world. He used angles to emphasise his unique outlook and make each photo his own. The subject of his photos tended to focus on his interests, illustrating how our likes and dislikes play a part in forming our identities.
"I like the pictures of the coffee stuff because I like coffee!"
"I love the sky because it's so cloudy and I love the shade of the colour".
"I love the statue in the park because the guy is expressing himself and what he likes".
Nureynu describes himself as calm and close to nature. In the past, his photos have always reflected the tranquility of nature and the lessons he learns from the world. However, his photos in this series focus on how his identity is impacted by those around him and how these people have helped him become happy and confident.
"I chose this picture because Poppy has been giving me the opportunity to express myself. Thank you Poppy!"
"To me this represents calmness and soothing because of the colour purple".
This project was produced as a collaboration between Spotlight and Headliners (UK) by Nureynu, Paul, Sofiia, Maruaf, Rafi, and Fahian.
Thank you to the Edward Gostling Foundation for making these sessions possible.

It had just turned 8pm and the lights went down. The Selecter were now on stage and boy didn't they look awesome. Such taken aback how great the band looked and sounded I forget to keep note of what tracks they played but I'm sure they opened up with 'Three Minute Hero'. From then on Pauline and Co delivered a set that would many bands away with tracks such as 'James Bond' and finishing with 'Too Much Pressure' where they managed to incorporate 'Pressure Drop' by Toots & The Maytals. There was no cashing in here! The Selecter have a real love for Ska and tonight it showed. PIL would certainly have to come up with something special as the headline band.
Tonight begins with the warm reggae vibes of Talisman. A brightly dressed front man with happy messages of peace and love effortlessly creates a fun, relaxed mood. Talisman were at the peak of their band career during the early 80s and even headlined the Glastonbury Festival. The Bristol based foursome – long associated with the notorious ska label, Recreational Records – do a superb job of loosening up the crowd for The Selecter.
Eight smartly dressed skanksters arrive on stage and we are immediately absorbed by the impact of their presence. Pauline Black and (Arthur) 'Gaps' Hendrickson take their narrative roles in tonight's musical journey which fires off with a sizzling 'London's Burning'. Watching them live is so much better than listening to the records.
The soothing rude-girl vocals of Pauline Black alongside Hendrickson's raw Jamaican-style holler, combined with conventional keyboards, brass and beats, produces a naturally refined and authentic ska sound. This is clearer in the live show. Band members also customise their suits using trilbies, sunglasses and hankies in shirt pockets. The band is a complete package.
The Concorde bounces in unison to the classic, upbeat sounds of 'The Whisper' and 'Train To Skaville'. During 'Celebrate The Bullet' the tempo drops and the mood changes. It's one of tonight's slower tracks but carries a direct, universal message about the use of guns. A little rocksteady melody in 'Think About That' has us ready for an energetic spell as the set reaches a close.
They play 'James Bond', 'Three Minute Hero' (which is the anthem of the night), 'Missing Words' and end with 'On My Radio'. The Selecter save their biggest hits until later on and leave us with a lasting impression. An encore of 'Too Much Pressure' into a cover of 'Pressure Drop' (by The Maytals) is the icing on the cake.
This band look good on stage, put on a great show and play great songs. They maintain the fun, feelgood vibes of other popular 2 tone ska bands of that era, such as Madness and Bad Manners, but present themselves more professionally as musicians and performers. The Selecter are irreplaceable and have made an influential mark on the world of ska. Although not as well known, the band is on a on par with The Specials, at least live.
SKA bands from the turn of the '80s continue to pull in the crowds in Newcastle.
Madness and The Specials have played a number of sold-out gigs in recent years, and on Thursday it was the turn of Pauline Black and The Selecter.
The gig, which was staged in the O2 Academy's smaller room, was packed.
That meant the floor was awash with a sea of Dr Martens, Ben Sherman shirts, braces and pork pie hats. as the Rude Boys (and Girls) came out in their droves.
The support band, Bristolians Talisman, played a roots reggae set and really got the crowd going as the room was filling up.
And by the time The Selecter took to the stage, the whole place was literally bouncing.
These fans might not make fighting weight any more, but they showed that they really know how to enjoy themselves.
The band have a new (pretty good) album String Theory out, and are touring in support of it.
As well as Pauline Black, the current line-up of the band features fellow original singer Gaps Hendrickson.
Their vocals were great, and the pair have a chemistry that is infectious.
Two things stood out for me. Firstly was the amount of fun the band – I counted eight members – had on stage.
And their energy was matched by the crowd.
Secondly was that the new songs, including the incredible Warrior, fitted in seamlessly with classics like Murder, Missing Words and their version of the James Bond theme.
This was a great gig by a band with many fans who turned up looking forward to a trip down memory lane.
What I – and the rest of the crowd, I suspect – left with was an over-riding sense that there is still unfinished business for Pauline Black and The Selecter.
A quick once over of the crowd assembled affront the Corner Hotel on Friday night and one might have found themselves thinking an over 40's night that just so happened to coincide with a Ben Sherman sale was in full swing.
It was always safe to assume that ska legends The Selecter would do a fine job of brining a few old-school punks out of the woodwork for their first Australian tour in their almost 40 year existence.
However, the sheer number of brimming Doc Marten-clad baby boomers did their best to unnerve even the most stalwart 22 year old reporter into feeling both a little out of place, and boasting a naïve assumption that this gig may just fall into the let-down category as a result of an ageing and unenergetic crowd.
As the eight-piece took to the stage it suddenly became clear that younger generations of music fans still have a lot to learn.
Across the course of an almost two hour onslaught of flawlessly executed and engaging 2-tone ska, Pauline Black and Arthur Hendrickson controlled the room with a level of expertise gained from almost four decades of experience as the venue erupted.
"The reason we decided to re-form and tour again was because we thought, 'maybe people had forgotten about 2-tone'?" Black announced between songs, delight clearly etched across her face as the rapturous crowd response affirmed that there was never any risk of this happening.
A poignant interlude saw the band cover Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black", a starkly still moment within the room, as Black acknowledged her respect and admiration for Winehouse and the tragedy of losing such a young and gifted musician.
Their most recognised anthems saw the most energised crowd reception, as the band cranked out '3 Minute Hero', only to delve immediately into 'Missing Words', the room exploding into a storm of skanking at every saxophone wail and organ stab.
A significant encore saw the group finally submit to calls for 'Too Much Pressure', ending their set to a room encapsulated and buzzing, showing no hints towards tiring.
What really stood out about The Selecter seemed to not only be their affinity with their audience, and the almost flawless musical competency of the entire band, but the joy that seemed to be written across the faces of every member.
This is a band that has been playing their own unique brand of music for decades, and had decided to reform not for money, or any additional fame, but for their un-adulterated love of the genre and the obvious fulfilment achieved when given the opportunity to share this with an audience.
Further demonstrating that the sincere honesty, and the message of equality, acceptance and joy that exists within this somewhat overlooked style is still alive and well. Existing as a paradigm to the often sanctimonious and soulless intonations of much of modern music.


Test Your Anti-Aging Food IQ!
True: Soy can help maintain healthy bones. Soybeans are rich sources of iron, phosphorus, B-vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. Several soy foods are also naturally high in calcium. One 0.7-ounce serving of fresh, raw edamame (about 10 pods), which are immature green soybeans, contains 39.4 milligrams of calcium and 124 milligrams of potassium. Soy is also a good source of protein (2.6 grams per serving). Soy provides magnesium and borontwo important factors of calcium for promoting bone health. Isoflavones found in soy foods may prevent the breakdown of bones. A 1993 study by Erdman focused on post-menopausal women who consumed 40 grams of isolated soy protein daily for 6 months. Results showed that the subjects of this study significantly increased bone mineral density. A separate study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in September 2005, showed that soy food intake was associated with a markedly reduced risk of fractureespecially among early post-menopausal women.
True: Garlic helps protect the body against heart disease and cancer. Garlic is a great source of manganese, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. Regular garlic consumption may help stimulate the production of nitric oxide in the lining of the blood vessel walls, which helps relax them. As a result of this, garlic can help fight against atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. A study published in Preventive Medicine showed that garlic inhibits coronary artery calcification. A separate study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that study participants consuming the most garlic had a 39 percent reduced risk for cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, a 57 percent reduced risk for esophageal cancer, a 26 percent reduced risk for colorectal cancer, a 10 percent reduced risk of breast cancer, and a 22 percent reduced risk of ovarian cancer (those consuming more onions showed similar benefits).
False: Avocado is a source of unhealthy monounsaturated fat. Actually, avocados are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fat that may help reduce levels of a bad type of cholesterol in the body. Avocados contain oleic acid, the monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol. Among an avocado's myriad benefits are its potassium and vitamin E content. A 1.1-ounce serving of a California avocado provides 152.1 milligrams of potassium as well as 3.9 milligrams of calcium and 2.6 grams of total carbs (including 2 grams of dietary fiber). Potassium can help prevent fluid retention and high blood pressure. Vitamin E can help maintain healthy skin and prevent skin agingvitamin E may even help alleviate menopausal hot flashes.
True: Ginger has a long history of effectively treating gastrointestinal problems. Ginger is regarded as an effective carminativea substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas. It's also known as an intestinal spasmolytic, which is a substance that relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract. Ginger has antioxidant effects, the ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory effects. It can prevent motion sicknessespecially seasicknessand its associated symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and cold sweating. Research presented at the 2003 Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research conference suggested that gingerols, the main active components in ginger, may inhibit the growth of human colorectal cancer cells. These gingerols are believed to reduce the pain associated with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. There are many ways to enjoy this beneficial anti-aging food (ginger lemonade; grated ginger on a rice dish; in a salad dressing; on sautéed vegetables; and ginger tea).
False: Tomatoes are poor sources of vitamin C. One cup contains 57.3 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin C,* making tomatoes good sources of vitamin C. Somatoes are also excellent sources of vitamins A and K, potassium, and manganese. Lycopene, a carotenoid found in tomatoes, has been studied for its antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties. The antioxidant function of lycopene is its ability to help protect cells and other structures in the body from oxygen damage. This antioxidant function has also been linked to the protection of DNA inside of white blood cells. Lycopene has also been shown to be protective against a list of cancers: colorectal, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic. One 4.3-ounce serving (approximately a medium tomato) contains only 22 calories, and 4.3 grams of total carbs (including 1.5 grams of dietary fiber), 1.1 grams of protein, 12.3 milligrams of calcium, and 291.5 milligrams of potassium.

One more COVID-19 death, total cases at 189
The number of COVID-19 deaths in Sri Lanka reached seven and total cases climbed to 189 yesterday, prompting health authorities to expand treatment facilities, and call on the Government to refrain from loosening curfew, as the next few weeks remained crucial to effectively countering the virus.
The warning came as the seventh infected patient, a 44-year old gem merchant and resident of Mount Lavinia, succumbed to COVID-19 last evening. Four persons tested positive for the virus yesterday, taking the total number of confirmed cases to 189. Three of the four had closely associated with a COVID-19 infected patient from Ratnapura.
Health authorities were treating 140 active cases while 42 patients have been released from care after recovering. There are 228 hospitalised people being closely monitored by healthcare authorities. Issuing a press release, Director General of Health Services Dr Anil Jasinghe said that the outbreak from the returnees from Italy has now reached the final stage.
"At the moment we have those who were exposed due to persons who returned from Indonesia, India, and Dubai. We have expanded testing, but found fewer patients than we anticipated, this is a good trend. However, we will increase testing of target groups."
Nevertheless, if the current countermeasures put in place to prevent the spread of the virus are relaxed, the current situation could swiftly take a turn for the worse, he stated. Social distancing and other public health regulations need to be adhered to strictly, he urged.
Addressing the press at the National Operations Centre for the Prevention of COVID19 (NOCPC) Dr. Jasinghe said that consecutive decisions taken by the Government and Health Ministry and relentless action by armed forces, Police, and public health inspectors had controlled the spread of the virus. Had it not been for the quick action taken and tight enforcement, the number of patients could have easily increased, he said.
"Yesterday we opened the Iranawila facility, with it the specialist hospitals in Beruwala, Homagama and Minuwangoda can cover the high-risk Colombo, Gampaha, Puttalam and Kalutara districts," he explained, pointing out that the coming days will be crucial.
According to DIG Ajith Rohana, a person who uploaded a video spreading fake news about COVID-19 patients was arrested and made to appear before a magistrate court. The suspect has been remanded by court. The Police and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) have arrested nine persons for spreading fake news thus far

David Trimble
2009 Joseph S. Calvaruso Keynote Address Featuring
"A Nobel Laureate's Perspective on the Middle East"
Thursday, April 23, 2009, 7 p.m.
Goodrich Chapel
Northern Ireland leader David Trimble received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998 following the historic Belfast Agreement in April of that year that led to a peaceful resolution of the conflict in his native country. He shared the award with John Hume. The Belfast Agreement mapped out a power-sharing arrangement between unionists and nationalists in Northern Ireland, repaired relationships between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, and between Ireland and Britain, and set the agenda for a lasting peace.
After a distinguished career as a law faculty member at Queen's University in Belfast, Trimble entered politics in 1990 and became the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party in 1995. His success in establishing the peace agreement led to his election as first minister of the Northern Ireland Assembly in 1998. Trimble was re-elected as first minister in 2001.
In 2006, Trimble was created Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey and assumed a seat in the British House of Lords. He joined the Conservative Party in 2007. His tenure in the House of Lords has been marked by a particular interest in the progress of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations as well as British-Irish political relations.
In accepting the Nobel Prize, Trimble expressed his admiration for the "politicians of the possible," those who through the course of history have sought "to make a working peace, not in some perfect world, that never was, but in this, the flawed world, which is our only workshop."
During the Calvaruso Lecture, Trimble will share the lessons he learned in negotiating the Belfast Agreement, showing how they may hold the key to ending the similar conflict between Palestine and Israel, and between the Sunnis and the Shiites. How do warring factions of different political and religious beliefs, with generations of violence toward each other, move toward disarmament; and how do they do it with words, not weapons? What needs to be the catalyst for change, and how do we begin? Trimble brings both political acumen and humanitarianism to his subject.
