Ryan Joy
League Director
A New Hampshire native, grew up in Concord, where he started playing his club soccer with Express Soccer Club in the mid-nineties. An all-state player at Concord High School, he was a part of the 2004 NH Lions Cup team and played for various clubs from NH Classics, Hampshire FC, and the NH Phantoms.
He continued his playing career at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where a severe knee injury saw him sidelined and back home. It was during that time that his High School soccer coach, Scott Dunlop, introduced him to the world of coaching, and he hasn't looked back since.
Ryan started coaching at the club level and has since worked with teams varying from u10-u18 boys and girls. At the age of 20 he coached the boy's JV team at Bishop Brady and moved to be the JV Girls coach at Concord High School the following year. At one point he was working with the high school team, three club teams, as well as ODP all at the same time.
In 2009 it was time to go back to school where he finished his undergraduate degree in Business Administration at Plymouth State University and played on the men's soccer team that year. A second knee injury forced him to hang up his boots and he became the men's assistant coach in 2010, a position he held for four years.
During that time, Ryan was brought on as the Boys Varsity Head Coach at Bishop Brady High School, leading the team to its first winning season in 17 years and being awarded the 2013 NHIAA Coach of the Year. He coached the boys NH Lions Cup team in the summer of 2014, which made him the only male player in the state of New Hampshire to have played and coached in that same game (he was told).
Ryan was hired as the Head Coach of the women's soccer team at PSU in 2014, earning LEC Conference Coach of the Year honors in 2016 (only the 2nd PSU women's coach to do so). He will be entering his sixth year under the helm at Plymouth for the 2019 season, becoming the longest tenured Women's Soccer Coach in PSU history.
Ryan has also been a patched US Soccer referee as well as a USFF futsal patched referee, was a league manager and coordinator at Fieldhouse Sports, and sat on the Board of Directors for Express Soccer Club. He holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) National "D" License and a United Soccer Coaches Advanced National Diploma.
One part of the game that Ryan is truly passionate about is player development. For a better part of a decade, Ryan helped grow Samba Player Development Academy (PDA), based out of the Concord area. Alongside his good friend (founder/owner) Chuck Breton, they grew Samba to become the largest independent, unaffiliated (with any clubs) training program in the state of New Hampshire - training hundreds of recreational, club, state, regional, and national level players.
From Samba stemmed a futsal program called, "Samba Black" who competed at regional and national levels. Ryan helped lead Samba Black to two national championships and more than 20 regional championships, - to this day being one of the most successful futsal programs.
This excitement for futsal led Ryan to start a Samba Futsal League, which by its second year grew from an internal extension of Samba PDA to a fully operational, independent futsal league, known as 1st Touch Futsal. The league grew to over 100 teams in a three-year span. 1st Touch also worked extensively with the development of young referees with their mentorship program, providing a league environment that was safe, positive, and enjoyable for all who were involved.
Samba went global. A non-profit was created by a group of local families who wanted to give back to those who were less fortunate. Samba International helps provide food, water, and educational scholarships to those in Malawi, Africa. Ryan was able to be an ambassador of the program and help start a club soccer team in the village of Kong'oma. He travelled to the African continent to help work with volunteer coaches from the village.
"Someone asked me if my passion was soccer," Ryan said. "I thought it was – but after giving it more thought, soccer isn't my passion – its people. I am fortunate enough to GET to make a positive impact on people's lives. Soccer in the state of New Hampshire has opened many doors for me, and the people 'behind the scenes' deserve so much recognition. I just want to be able to provide the next generation of players the opportunities to grow as players and people, much like I did. I want to give back."
Ryan finished his MBA in Strategic Management in 2018 and currently lives in Tilton with his wife, Ashley – and his dog Randy.

Two brigades (our own and NZealanders with artillery) left Massaid and marched on Khan Yunis a village just over the border in Palestine for purpose of reconnaissance. Our object achieved. Only five casualties on our side as far as known.
The march from Massaid to Khan Yunis and back to Shick Zowaiid was 54 miles (a long march).
The country looks beautiful and it looks like we have finished with the desert.
El Arish was occupied by us on 20.12.16. Maghdhaba occupied 23.12.16 and Rafa on 10th January. Sinai now cleared.


This is the first day the site is close to being complete.
Lik3ve is connection, whether, you find that connection with someone you more than like but are not in love with; that in between portion. Or that immediate trust you give away when you say hello to a stranger and then receive that trust right back….
Hope you enjoy the starting phase of the LOGO!


The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon that share the same focal length. These lenses are based on the classic double-Gauss lens, with the f/1.8 being a standard six-element double-Gauss with an air gap and powers between element 2 and 3 and its faster cousins adding additional elements.
The 50mm focal length, when used with a 35mm film or full-frame sensor, has been widely considered to match the perspective seen by the human eye.
Canon 50mm lenses have an EF type mount that fits the Canon EOS line of cameras. When pairing a 50mm lens to a Canon DSLR with an APS-C sized sensor, the crop factor effectively turns the 50mm focal length into an 80mm field of view.


BEIJING, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — OK Blockchain Capital released its September Blockchain Industry Report on Oct 24. According to the report, September is still not an optimistic month for the crypto market. The monthly report showed that the market value of global digital assets continued its downward trend in September, but the trading volume rebounded significantly at the end of the month.
The market survey showed the situation was rather bleak. 25.47% of investors had small losses (-30% <= market returns < -10%) in September, 24.53% had essentially flat (-10% <= market returns < 10%) and 23.58% had large losses (-100% <= market returns < -30%). However, over 69% of investors are bullish on the long-term market. The top 3 of currency holdings in September were BTC, EOS and ETH.
OK Blockchain Capital took stock of major industry events and selected the key events of the month. The blockchain industry keywords for September were the Ethereum "Difficulty Bomb", stablecoins, bitcoin mining machines, and Bitmain.
In terms of policy, the Iranian government approved the cryptocurrency mining law, and the Bank of India appealed to cancel the cryptocurrency ban. The United States and Japan promoted cryptocurrency regulation.
As the strategic partner of OKEx, OK Blockchain Capital has accumulated rich experience in blockchain research and development and is devoted to assisting promising entrepreneurs and teams grow and succeed in the blockchain industry by offering exclusive consulting services, technological support and funding.


It's the weirdest thing because I'm not a stomach sufferer. But I've had this same thing 3 times since the beginning of October. It always happens at the same time of day, 1 pm Central Time. Suddenly, I get extremely nauseous and spend the next several hours barfing up a storm. Sorry for the TMI. The first two times I blamed it on school cafeteria food. But today I ate all the same things that N ate, and he's perfectly fine. Thank God for his Mercy.
I'm definitely not pregnant. I don't have any other symptoms. But it's hugely unpleasant and debilitating. Have I suddenly become a stomach sufferer in my dotage? I used to be able to digest deep-fried nails and follow them with a jar of benzoil.
Does anybody have any idea what this might be?
Don't worry, folks. I'm in favor of net neutrality, of course. I just got very annoying and painful food poisoning that spoiled the last day of my vacation, and this made me very crabby. But now I'm back.

Volokhine, Youri. « Tristesse rituelle et lamentations funéraires en Egypte ancienne », Revue de l'histoire des religions, vol. volume 225, no. 2, 2008, pp. 163-197.
In my culture (before it was wiped out by industrialization), people invited groups of female weepers into the house to help express grief during bereavement. The more women you could afford to invite to weep, the louder was the noise they made,the more prestigious was the dead person and your family. And it was a good way for older women to make some money and have some financial independence.
I had no idea the custom was as old as ancient Egypt but I think it's curious to look at the inventive ways women, especially older ones, made a living throughout history.
I try to like Southwest but I can't. They have the best flights for us but I hate the survival of the fittest approach they promote when they refuse to assign seats. I also hate it that they don't seat people with small children first (or second, after the disabled). They also make it a lot harder to pre-board online than, say, AA.
It's funny but also kind of sad when people try so hard to tear down the underpinnings of the nation-state model while fully expecting the protections and guarantees that only the nation-state gives.
Consumers believe that the world owes them an unrepayable debt yet routinely forget that they might owe something back. They buy on credit and get mighty angry whenever the bill arrives.
Masuma Khan isn't a racist, a politician, or an ungrateful child of immigrants. She's a consumer. She knows nothing and wants to know nothing but consumerism. But in spite of everything that commercial jingles say, consumerism isn't bringing the promised bliss. The self that finds nothing bigger than its own desires is a sad and angry self.
Masuma is angry because she is unwittingly destroying the only thing that stands between her and the scary, indifferent, cold winds of capitalist fate. And she's doing it to remain faithful to the ideology of consumerism that is giving her nothing whatsoever. I'd be angry, too, if I found myself in such a hopeless trap.

Your cover letter is not your autobiography. The focus must be on just how you meet a company's needs, not on your life story. Stay clear of the understanding of being self-centered by lessening your usage of the word "I," particularly at the start of your sentences.
When composing a cover letter, job applicants often battle with the cover letter's opening. This problem usually causes a feeble intro lacking strike and cannot get the viewers's rate of interest. Consider this example:.
Better: Your need for a top-performing sales agent is an excellent match to my three-year background as a top-ranked, multimillion-dollar manufacturer.
A cover letter is a sales letter that offers you as a candidate. Much like your resume, it needs to be engaging and also give the main factors you need to be required a meeting.

The individual reviewing your letter may be evaluating hundreds of letters for loads of various tasks. Make sure every one of the web content in your letter supports exactly how you will certainly satisfy the employer's particular needs.
If you're relating to a variety of comparable placements, possibilities are you're tweaking one letter as well as using it for several openings. That's penalty, as long as you personalize each letter. Remember to upgrade the firm, work and call information if Mr. Jones is dealt with as Ms. Smith, he will not be impressed.
When feasible, place your future in your personal hands with a pledge to subsequent. As opposed to asking visitors to call you, attempt a statement such as this: I will certainly adhere to up with you in a few days to answer any preliminary inquiries you could have.

Your cover letter ought to say thanks to the viewers for his or her time and factor to consider.

Err on the side of procedure, and if you require any kind of aid identifying ways to close your cover letter, take into consideration these feasible sign-offs. If you are sending an e-mail cover letter as well as return to, a trademark isn't really required.


Rim has sold 250,000 playbooks, should apple be worried?
Discussion in 'Off-Topic' started by Tapmyapple, May 19, 2011.
Even though 250,000 is impressive i say no. I dont expect playbook sales to maintain thst strong.
I think the Playbook will do well but the IPad is going to remain on top.
I guess the fact that Apple is building 4 million iPads a month (estimated based on news comments) and they still cannot supply the back orders world wide 250,000 is a drop in the bucket. The RIM product will appeal to Blackberry users as they do make great phones and if the iPad was not around nor the iPhone I would consider one. I am a past user of 4 Blackberry phones until the iPhone was released so I can understand that some people will buy the product as Rim makes good products.
The bigger question.."why are you worried?"
doesnt matter who sells..ipad is a hit..blockbuster in fact..so just enjoy it!
I am a RIM user. Why, becuase my boss pays the phonebill. If he wouldn't my wife would never have gotten my Iphone.
Sorry, but BB does not even come close to an Iphone and I dare to state that neither does any other product compared to Apple. They are way ahead and the moment the competition feels they are getting close Apple comes out with a new surprise.
As long as their competitors are still playing catchup, sales numbers would be the least of Apple's worries. If I were Apple I'd be focussed on what my future product offerings are, which would enable me to stay ahead.
Actually I believe the original iPad took about four weeks to reach the million sales mark. And that was with millions of people who already had an iPhone or iPod touch who already had software that would run on their iPad.
Apple also had many years work in building the iPad before it became what it was a year ago.
What RIM has done is impressive for a product that has only been in development for a year. Every thing Apple got wrong, RIM got right. The challenge for RIM is that Apple didn't get very much wrong.
By providing people with what Apple won't (Flash, 7" form factor) and besting Apple with things that are "nice to have" (near Retina display quality, 1080p output, two excellent cameras), they can carve out a profitable place in the market.
You don't have to be number one to make a ton of money in an emerging market.

I have the following for loop, and when I use splice() to remove an item, I then get that 'seconds' is undefined. I could check if it's undefined, but I feel there's probably a more elegant way to do this. The desire is to simply delete an item and keep on going.
There are lot of wonderful answers on this thread already. However I wanted to share my experience when I tried to solve "remove nth element from array" in ES5 context.
Essentially none of the above methods can be used directly to remove nth element from the array.
A fact worth noting is that this is in contrast with java iterator's using which it is possible to remove nth element for a collection while iterating.
Although your question is about deleting elements from the array being iterated upon and not about removing elements (in addition to some other processing) efficiently, I think one should reconsider it if in similar situation.
The algorithmic complexity of this approach is O(n^2) as splice function and the for loop both iterate over the array (splice function shifts all elements of array in the worst case). Instead you can just push the required elements to the new array and then just assign that array to the desired variable (which was just iterated upon).
The array is being re-indexed when you do a .splice(), which means you'll skip over an index when one is removed, and your cached .length is obsolete.
This way the re-indexing doesn't affect the next item in the iteration, since the indexing affects only the items from the current point to the end of the Array, and the next item in the iteration is lower than the current point.
If you are e using ES6+ - why not just use Array.filter method?
Note that modifying the array element during filter iteration only works for objects and will not work for array of primitive values.
Please add an example using this method.
A good answer will always have an explanation of what was done and why it was done in such a manner, not only for the OP but for future visitors to SO.
Here is another example for the proper use of splice. This example is about to remove 'attribute' from 'array'.
It doesn't matter if you're popping them off of the end because the indices will be preserved as you go backwards.
That way you won't exceed the bounds.
EDIT: added a decrement in the if statement.

Eugenio del Hoyo Manjón (Villayuda, avui integrat a Burgos, 1867 - Barcelona, 1909) fou un dels afusellats pels fets de la Setmana Tràgica. Havia estat membre de la guàrdia civil (1891-1908), i entrà en el cos de guàrdies de seguretat de Barcelona poc abans de l'inici de la Setmana Tràgica. Era de baixa de malaltia, però el 28 de juliol va disparar contra una patrulla de soldats des d'un balcó dels carrers Arc del Teatre i Montserrat. Tot i que no va ferir ningú ni fou un líder destacat, fou jutjat en un consell de guerra i condemnat a mort sota l'acusació de rebel·lió militar. Fou afusellat al Castell de Montjuïc el 13 de setembre de 1909.

My TV Life – Basil Brush
What was your first television memory?
Black and white thunderbirds! You could tell the Tracy brothers by their colored sashes, but not when you were looking at black and white. Lady Penelope wore pink and rode in a pink Cadillac, but the clothes and the car were gray on my TV. It was a lovely show. I even remember the theme tune.
What was your first appearance on television?
First it was in 1963 on The Three Scampis but most remind me of being on The David Nixon Show that same year. I got my own series in 1968 which became a real launching pad for talent. I started with Mr. Rodney, Rodney Bewes. Then he went on to do The Likely Lads; and Mr. Derek, Derek Fowlds, who later played Sir Bernard Woolley in Yes Minister and Yes Prime. I also had Deryck Guyler, Mr Deryck, who was Norman Potter in Please Sir. He also played a washboard for Morecambe & Wise.
Who was your first TV crush?
The lovely Jan Hunt in Crackerjack. She was a ball of energy and still fizzy now. And also Anita Harris who had the best legs in the business. I met Kylie at Glastonbury and she was perfect as we are almost the same height.
What is your current favorite show?
Very much, I am a fox who loves the box, especially Ted Lasso, such a nice show.
What TV show would you take to a deserted island?
Breaking Bad, because it's brilliantly done, one of the best box sets from the early days of binge-watching. I'd take Friends and Frasier if I could too. They are so well written. I have my dose of them every day.
What TV show would you like to put out of your misery?
I've had enough of I'm a celebrity. They lost me to the cruelty to the bugs. I've had enough.
TV's guiltiest pleasure?
The Repair Shop! I love it! I often need repairs, I've been around since 1962! It is a charming spectacle. You can't go wrong with that, the skills, the emotions. I've had many a good cry watching it. And Strictly Come Dancing is one of my all-time favorites.
What are you doing right now?
I just released a single, Boom Boom! It's Christmas Again!, to raise money for Save The Children and Shooting Star Chase Children's Hospice. If it gets to number one, I'll run for number ten. And I'm in panto at the Theater Royal Windsor with Anita Harris. I hope the royals come back, the princes and princesses came before and they loved it.
'Boom! Boom! It's Christmas Again' by Basil Brush is now available. Sleeping Beauty is at the Theater Royal Windsor until January 8. For more information and tickets, see teatrorealwindsor.co.United Kingdom

Q: Read 2D vector from binary File C++ i have some Problem reading a 2D Vector from a binary File:
For Example:
My Binary File is structured like this :
243524
764756
746384

Now i want to create a 2D Vector which looks exactly like the bin File.
What i've done so Far:
I created a 1D Vector which contains all Elements. Then i created a Loop and filled the 2D Vector.
My Problem ist that i have a huge .bin File and the for loop cost a lot of Time.
is there a possibility to get the 2DVector faster ?
My Code :
ifstream file("C:\\XXX.bin", ios::in | ios::binary | ios::ate);
char * buffer;
long size;
file.seekg(0, std::ios::end);
size = file.tellg();

buffer = new char[size];
file.read(buffer, size);
file.close();

double* double_values = (double*)buffer;//reinterpret as doubles
vector<double> buffer2(double_values, double_values + (size / sizeof(double)));

//cout << "Filling matrix with test numbers.";
int h = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < (size / sizeof(double)) / row; i++)
{
    vector<double> temp;
    for (int j = 0; j < row; j++)
    {
        if (h<size / sizeof(double))
        {
            temp.push_back(buffer2[h]);
            h++;
        }

    }

    bin_file.push_back(temp);
}

Hope that sb can Help me :)

A: Suggestion: eliminate the copying by reading directly into the vector with std::vector::data
ifstream file("C:\\XXX.bin", ios::in | ios::binary | ios::ate);
char * buffer;
long size;
file.seekg(0, std::ios::end);
size = file.tellg();
//allocate a properly sized vector of doubles. Probably should test that size
// is evenly divisible
vector<double> buffer(size/sizeof(double));
// read into the vector of doubles by lying and saying it's an array of char
file.read((char*)buffer.data(), size);
file.close();

Note that the vector is 1D. Access to this vector requires a bit of math. You could
buffer[map2dto1d(row, column)];

where
size_t map2dto1d(size_t row, size_t column)
{
    return row * numberColumns + column;
}

but you are better off wrapping the vector in a class that stores the row and column information along with a properly sized vector and forces the user to index correctly.
Something like this:
class Matrix
{
private:
    size_t rows, columns;
    std::vector<double> matrix;
public:
    // zero initialized matrix of row by column
    Matrix(size_t numrows, size_t numcols):
        rows(numrows), columns(numcols), matrix(rows * columns)
    {
         // can place file reading logic here, but make sure the file matches
         // numrows * numcols when reading and throw an exception if it doesn't
    }

    // matrix of row by column using provided in vector. in will be
    // consumed by this constructor
    // make sure in is big enough to support rows * columns
    Matrix(size_t numrows, size_t numcols, std::vector<double> && in):
        rows(numrows), columns(numcols), matrix(std::move(in))
    {

    }

    double & operator()(size_t row, size_t column)
    {
        // check bounds here if you care
        return matrix[row * columns + column];
    }

    double operator()(size_t row, size_t column) const
    {
        // check bounds here if you care
        return matrix[row * columns + column];
    }

    size_t getRows() const
    {
        return rows;
    }
    size_t getColumns() const
    {
        return columns;
    }

};
// convenience function for printing matrix
std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream &  out, const Matrix & in)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < in.getRows(); i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < in.getColumns(); j++)
        {
            out << in(i,j) << ' ';
        }
        out << std::endl;
    }

    return out;
}

AZOTE® is the group brand that incorporates the high-quality polyolefin foams manufactured by Zotefoams.
Kewell Converters have been an approved independent distributor and certified fabricator of AZOTE® foams for many years and are proud to offer these excellent products to our customers in any size or shape they need.
AZOTE® foams are available in densities from 15kg/m3 to 115kg/m3 and in a wide variety of colours that can be heat-laminated together to produce different colour combinations. We have a large stock of foam raw materials on site and can often accommodate urgent requests and orders. Please call us to discuss your requirements.
The three AZOTE® foams listed above differ in which base polymers are used for manufacture, but are all made using the same unique nitrogen expansion process. The term 'azote' actually comes from the French word for nitrogen.
The use of nitrogen (an inert, tasteless, odourless gas) is what gives these products their exceptional properties (water and chemical resistant, high UV light resistance, odourless, flexible, lightweight, and strong) and means that AZOTE® foams have an incredibly wide variety of applications.
Zotefoams' unique use of nitrogen gas in the manufacturing process also gives these AZOTE® foams additional advantages over those foams that are expanded using chemicals; AZOTE® foams do not corrode, stain or degrade, and there are no harmful gases present to seep out over time.
There are far too many applications of AZOTE® foams to list them all, but some example are given with the list of benefits below. Please visit the individual product pages for further information on how each foam type is commonly used.
The purity of AZOTE® foams means that they have a wide range of hygienic applications for use in the healthcare market. The non-corrosive nature of the nitrogen used in expansion means that AZOTE® products are also commonly found in protective casing for weapons and munitions.
The inherent water and chemical resistance of these foams makes them ideal for products such as gaskets and expansion joints in the automotive industry, as well as eaves-fillers for buildings and construction.
High durability and strength has led to the application of AZOTE® foams in re-useable packaging, particularly protective inserts for cases and boxes.
Even the most complex shapes can be produced cheaply and easily with AZOTE® foams, thanks to the high consistency of the material, with sheets available as thin as 1mm.
AZOTE® foams not only provide excellent insulation, but are also flame retardant and very low weight, so are invaluable for use in the automotive, aviation, aerospace and construction industries.
The buoyancy of AZOTE® foams makes them suitable for use in personal flotation devices, boats and even floating oil pipelines.
AZOTE® foams also have high energy absorption properties, which has led to their application in protective products such as those used in contact and extreme sports.

Whatever happened to Echo and the Bunnymen?
Echo & The Bunnymen? There s a name from the past. A combo who were always shrouded in dry ice if I remember, perhaps to distract attention from Mr Echo s inability to comb his hair like a normal functioning adult. Their mumbled 6th form poetry had it s moment in the spotlight of course with such hits as The Cutler and The Killer Moon. I think they even managed a hit in the 90s with Nothing Lasts Forever which was true ...at least as far as their brush with fame was concerned.
I assumed they then returned to Liverpool to get proper grown up jobs. Imagine my surprise to find a few years ago that they were still going albeit with a new singer as Catfish & The Bunnymen. I expect it was also a surprise when they were performing at a festival and a gust of wind blew the dry ice away and revealed to the assembled crowd of "indie kids" and "Brit poppers" that the youthful Mr Catfish was in fact surrounded by a bunch of ageing scousers. I expect in the end they have only temporarily staved off a life of sweeping roads and emptying bins.

Re-figuring 'Indira Bai' in a New English Translation
Vanamala Viswanatha and Shivarama Padikkal in conversation with Githa Hariharan
Indira Bai: The Triumph of Truth and Virtue is the English translation of the first social novel in Kannada by Gulvadi Venkata Rao. The translation, by Professor Vanamala Viswanatha and Professor Shivarama Padikkal, was recently published by the Oxford University Press, India. A woman-centric text, Indira Bai stages all the major debates of 19th century colonial India such as child marriage, widow remarriage, and women's education. The text and translation make use of multiple languages as in real life. Vanamala Viswanatha and Shivarama Padikkal speak to writer Githa Hariharan about this complex translation process as well as the richness of social comment offered by the novel.

Githa Hariharan (GH): This is an extraordinary effort for various reasons. One is the way in which the novel, and the translation, take on multiple languages: as in life, so in text. What are the strategies you decided to employ as translators to deal with so many languages — Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Sanskrit and different 'versions' of English?
Vanamala Viswanatha and Shivarama Padikkal (VV and SP): Thank you, Githa. Yes, multilingualism is the bedrock of the cultural ecology of India. It is not only a feature of the present but a defining aspect of the very civilisation of India. The coastal region of Dakshina Kannada provides a superb example of this phenomenon as it is marked by an intricate pattern of multilingualism in which several linguistic and religious communities jostle together within a hundred-kilometre radius. It is not merely a multiplicity of languages; these languages live, thrive, and fight in a complex web of social hierarchy.
In order to capture this socio-linguistic uniqueness, we, the team of translator(s), editor, and copyeditor, decided to evolve a new style while printing the text. Kannada, spoken by the Saraswat brahmin characters (the paradox is that Saraswat brahmins typically speak Konkani as their first language, and not Kannada), is the dominant language of the text. Where we have retained the Kannada words untranslated, they are indicated in single quotation marks as in 'avva' along with a gloss – 'A colloquial way of addressing a woman/girl affectionately.' Tulu, the language largely spoken by characters from the 'lower' castes, is marked by a single asterisk. Konkani, more specifically 'Christian Konkani', spoken by the two policemen, is established by the use of double asterisks. Sanskrit, the language of religious/cultural pursuits, is set apart by the use of italics. Finally, the use of English in the original Kannada text, is indicated by the use of small caps in the translation. This code-gliding between Kannada and English is particularly significant as it serves both the satirical intent of the novel in ridiculing the ultra-modern, phony ways of city youth as well as the representational needs of the narrative when it refers to the onset of colonial modernity in a local community.
GH: Still on languages, the multilingualism is not just rich in the sense of diversity, but also in terms of power structures — divisions of caste and class. Could you talk about this aspect of hierarchical use of language in both the text and in real life in the region?
VV and SP: Right through the text, Gulvadi uses Konkani, Tulu, and English to mark the social difference among the characters. Those lower down in the caste/community hierarchy, holding lower order occupations, speak in Konkani or Tulu. The English-educated youth speak a code-mixed Kannada sprinkled with English words. Some critics have attributed this mimesis to the compulsions of the social realist thrust of the novel. But such a reading ignores the text's basic intent to construct in and through language(s) the imagination of a new community.
In fact, all the main characters hail from the Saraswat community which, in real life, speaks Konkani as its 'mother tongue'. But, in the novel, they speak in Kannada, and not in Konkani. Among the languages of the Kannada region (the present state of Karnataka was formed only in 1956), historically, Kannada was the privileged language of cultural production. Thus, the Saraswat brahmin characters who are the protagonists of the text get to speak the language of power. The 'lower' caste/community characters speak among themselves either in Tulu or Konkani. Often these characters from the lower rung of society speak reverently about the protagonists Indira and Bhaskara as ideal characters; their gossip about the important characters takes the form of public commentary either endorsing the secular ethos of the emerging, English-educated, Saraswat brahmin group or disapproving the actions of mindless traditionalists like Bhima Rao and Amba Bai, or the immorality of the head of the Santamandali, or the actions of the shallow reformists. The choric voice of the ordinary people, used by the author to clearly mobilise public opinion for his tirade against degraded religious practices, offers a powerful critique of his society at that point in history. In the text, he brings alive this critique by translating lower caste speech in Tulu and Konkani into Kannada. As Padikkal (Early Novels in India, ed. M Mukherjee, Sahitya Akademi, 2002) has argued, the multilingual code deployed here writes in a new hierarchy of Kannada society in which the modern yet nationalist identity of the Saraswat community is constructed and valorised.
GH: There is also variety in terms of using genres such as prose, poetry, proverbs and so on. Would you link this with the social practices in coastal Karnataka at the time? Also, is this a challenge with many of our Indian texts as far as the translator is concerned?
VV and SP: Drawing from diverse centres of culture, Gulvadi's text creates a space in which a variety of cultural forms and texts clash and blend. Various episodes from the art form Yakshagana Talamaddale, which belongs to the 'little' tradition, are deployed not only to represent the villain's emotions, but also to provide an ironic effect. In the wake of his acquittal in a criminal case for murdering Sundara Raya, Bhima Raya presents the episode of 'Vali vadha' (The Slaying of Vali, in which Rama kills Vali through deceit, in order to win over his brother Sugriva), playing the lead role of Bhagavata, the chief narrator. While singing the song depicting Rama's cowardly act of killing Sugriva slyly, Bhima Raya sweats profusely, stutters, and falls in a faint. The use of this art form is as much a critique of the character as a self-reflexive comment. The modern perspective projected in the novel perceives this traditional mode of entertainment to be crass and fit only for villains to pursue, whereas the shobhane wedding songs, part of the 'Great' tradition, sung by women at Indira's wedding to Bhaskara, are celebrated in the novel as they glorify the ideal relationship of the couple.
Thus Indira Bai stages its cultural politics through its unique textuality. This can be a challenge for translators as well as readers in equal measure, since reading or translating such a text demands more attention and diligence. Given that the novel as a new genre was shaping up just then, Indira Bai had to simultaneously establish the form, the telling, the characters, and their speech. The text also bears witness to a literary culture in transition from the oral to the written, from the performative to the literary, perhaps a feature common to other Indian literary cultures. While the dominant mode of narrative is befitting the novel, the text also deploys drama and poetry, (evident in the use of dialogues, songs and chants) genres that marked the Kannada literary production in earlier centuries.
Translating this kind of a polycentric text can be quite a task for the translator. In particular, proverbs, the hallmark of oral tradition, do not easily move out of their natural habitat. It doesn't work to replace them with possible equivalent proverbs in English. So we have translated them as literally as possible, signalling their presence with quotation marks. These proverbs are a crucial aspect of the social anthropology of the community portrayed by the novel. The text has sentences and paragraphs that run to two pages. Where we felt the narrative was getting cluttered, we have broken the text into separate paragraphs for greater ease of reading. Translation is, after all, a process where, as a translator, you walk the tight-rope between a commitment to the integrity of the text and its communicability to a contemporary readership.
GH: Coming to the text itself: a layperson's knowledge of the reform movement of the time is obviously incomplete. I was struck by the influence of the Brahmo Samaj in the South. How did this happen? I also recall reading, in the Tamil context, public discussion in journals and papers about the need to educate women, but perhaps more important for us, exactly what this education can do. (Help educate children, be an intelligent partner to the husband etc — in short, reform with clear parameters from our point of view). Would you set the reform and reformist debate background for us in the case of Indira Bai?
VV and SP: The establishment of the Basel Mission schools in 1836 in the region was a major catalyst in radicalising the youth of the Saraswat community. Along with translating Christian tracts, the Mission also published books on science, geography, history and biology, thus opening the doors of western knowledge to the local populace. The modern sensibility imbibed through English education transformed young men such as Ullal Raghunathiah and Bharadwaj Shiva Rao to question the value of traditional institutions such as the religious mutts. But as Dr. Viveka Rai points out, these educational activities went along with the mission of conversion to Christianity. As a reaction to missionary conversions and to prevailing colonial tendencies in the public sphere to desecrate the ethos of Hinduism, a branch of the Brahmo Samaj, which had upheld the spiritual superiority of India, was started in Mangalore in 1870. Several thinkers, lawyers, and writers, chiefly from the Saraswat community, led this movement for social reform.
Interestingly, K Veereshalingam Pantulu, who wrote Rajashekhar Charitamu (1880), the first social reformist novel in Telugu, and had visited the region around this time, seems to have been a strong influence on the budding writers of Mangalore. Drawn to the tenets of the Brahmo Samaj, Pantulu had worked for social causes such as widow remarriage, women's education, and anti-dowry campaigns. Gulvadi's work needs to be seen against this background. On the one hand, the English-educated Gulvadi worked as a police officer in the colonial administration; on the other, he was profoundly influenced by the philosophy of the Brahmo Samaj. It is clear that Gulvadi's work was an amalgam of both these streams that defined the very notion of Reform at that time.
As most of the reformists hailed from the upper castes, the upper caste Indian woman became the site on which the agenda of Reform was launched. Whether it was child marriage, widow remarriage, or women's education, all these issues got articulated from an upper caste, male perspective. Women's education was desirable if it could help women become modern and intelligent partners to their husbands, to run the household more efficiently and tastefully. Indira, who can read Sanskrit and English equally fluently (much like Chandu Menon's eponymous heroine Indulekha in the Malayalam novel) becomes the quintessential New Woman in the modern nation of India at the turn of the century. While most of the social reform novels in Indian languages discuss the issue of widow remarriage, Indira Bai is the first Indian novel in which a widow remarriage becomes an actuality, delineated in vivid detail, with a stamp of total endorsement by the narrative.
GH: Since language as a social marker is so strong in the book, inevitably I have to ask about English as a vehicle for mobility and even emancipation. It brings along the whole baggage of going abroad, hence the fight against losing caste by crossing the waters; civil services; Indira getting new ideas by reading even basic 'padri' books; Christianity; and of course, for us in retrospect, the complex of reform/ progress while in some ways becoming 'comprador'. At another level, it also brought to mind one strand of the more recent caste movements' view, that English is a more liberating choice for dalits with other Indian languages — or 'mother tongues' — carrying so much casteist baggage.
VV and SP: The text showcases two, somewhat ambivalent, facets of English: the face that superficially mimics the language and the ways of the English as deplorable and hence such phony behaviour comes in for sharp ridicule; the other face that has imbibed the liberalism of the west after carefully weighing the pros and cons, and integrating it with what is defined as dharmic in the Hindu fold — as exemplified by Indira and Bhaskara — is glorified in the narrative.
There is a charming scene in the novel where Indira is reading books and her mother asks:
"What kind of books do you read?"
"Until yesterday, I was reading Stree Dharma Neeti. Right now, I'm reading Aesop's Fables."
"Aren't those books printed by Christian padres?"
"Those books are printed to defile our caste practices."
"There was nothing that even vaguely looked caste polluting in any of the books I read. Also, can one lose one's caste by merely reading a book?"
"There are things in those books which are against our religion."
"Not in the ones that I read. They give useful ideas on how women should conduct themselves in the house of their birth as well as in the husband's house."
The polyphonous sign called 'English' is thus deployed astutely to recast a new social imaginary which is best represented through a reconstituted image of the modern woman who can read, who is made modern and rendered anew through English education, while she is firmly grounded in a reformed and enlightened Hinduism.
Indira Bai is a text that argues for a 'wisdom/sense of discrimination appropriate to our times.' When the winds of western knowledge and liberal thought blew powerfully over our land, one had to respond to it by exhibiting a sense of discrimination that keeps the best from the native land as well as the foreign power. The colonial critique of India, which justified their 'civilising mission', condemned the treatment of women in the name of the scriptural tradition. The nationalist response was to reform tradition through a process of modernisation. This compulsion created the image of the new, upper caste, English-educated woman who was superior to all women in other castes/classes/communities. As Partha Chatterjee has demonstrated, the new patriarchy invested the upper caste woman with the 'honour' (read, 'burden') of representing a distinctly modern yet deeply nationalist culture.
But has 'Project English' been liberatory for women in India? Has it empowered all women equally? These questions have been robustly tackled by subsequent feminist debates in India.
GH: Finally, the history of the book since it was written, in particular, the journey of its translations. The first translation was by an Englishman, a colonial, am I right? Would you trace the translators' readings since then in broad strokes?
VV and SP: As well-known Kannada literary historian Havanur (1989) notes, within a few months of its publication, Indira Bai had sold over 800 copies, which was a record for its time. This 'impressive' figure has been attributed to the fact that the police personnel, since the novel deals with a police case, were given a discount of 25% on the total price of Re.1 (one). This, coupled with the readers' responses published in the local newspapers in English, and the fact that M E Couchman, a local administrator, translated it into English within the next four years, leads one to conclude that Indira Bai was a fairly popular novel. While The West Coast Spectator described it as 'a novel with a purpose', The Madras Standard, The Indian Social Reformer, and The Madras Mail (See Appendix of the book) commented on the social reformist thrust of the novel.
However, in the absence of an extensive network for distribution, the reach and influence of the text was limited to the region of South Canara. Hence until its second edition was brought out in 1962, the rest of Karnataka was not quite aware of this novel. This novel had not found mention even in E P Rice's A History of Kannada Literature, published in 1921. Noted writer Shivarama Karantha has commented on this fact of scholarly neglect in his foreword to the second edition. But since then, scholars and critics have celebrated the work for its stellar qualities of social realism, incisive satire, rich detail, and progressive thrust. The Government of Karnataka reprinted the novel, selling it at very affordable prices (Rs 8.50) in 1985, which further popularised the novel in the Kannada world.
Given that the novel as a genre was just beginning to take shape in Indian languages in the 19th century, Indira Bai illustrates with incredible vividness the baby steps taken by modern Kannada culture and its writing practices in exploring a new literary form. The text dramatises, through its use of language and choice of textual strategies, the Saraswat community's journey of transformation from being a world of unshaken faith in customs, rituals and beliefs, to a modernising world gradually encroached by western education, values, medicine, law, and police. Therefore, the use of linguistic and literary devices in the text is not merely a flourish; they have a defining role in constructing the meaning of the text.
Hence, the translation reflects the changing face of this narrative closely. The text in English does not have the unbroken flow of a modern novel, but it is marked with shifting discourse types. Like a Harikatha discourse, the novel draws into its fold, various art forms from the performance traditions of the Dakshina Kannada region — yakshagana, taala maddale, folk song, and traditional song which signal the stronghold of tradition. Quotes from medieval Kannada poetry and chants from Sanskrit, two languages with greater cultural capital in the linguistic mosaic of the region, are used to represent the eternal relevance of the scriptures. As our purpose is to present the history and culture of the times, the critical anthropology of the Saraswat social community, and the emerging poetics of the Kannada novel, we have tried to retain a high level of literality in the translation.
As mentioned before, an earlier English version translated in 1903 by A E Couchman, an Assistant Collector in the colonial administration and a superior of Gulvadi, is already available. We have provided his preface and a few responses to the translated novel in order to give a sense of the time and clime of the first version. Like Couchman, the first translator of the novel, we would also like to say, '… the translation follows the original as closely as possible, even at the risk of occasional stiffness….', but with a difference. Where he sounds apologetic, we hope, we do not. For, we wish to affirm the use of literality as a potent technique of resisting the homogenising power of English that tends to erase cultural difference.
Every age chooses and translates the texts it needs for its own purposes. We have embarked on this project as Indira Bai is a significant milestone in the history of Kannada. Equally important, the novel in its English translation will add to the burgeoning wealth of the emerging field of Modern Indian Literature. It is instructive to recall Aijaz Ahmad's argument (In Theory, 1990) that the category of 'Indian Literature' becomes possible today only through translations into English; however, the Honourable Home Minister might rule differently on the issue. Our hope is that this translation of Indira Bai, a small step in opening up the Kannada world of 19th century to a pan-Indian readership, will lead to strengthening the field of Modern Indian Literature (in contrast to Indian Writing in English, an allied field constituting a different thematic and problematique) and provoking debate and dissent on issues that mark our post-coloniality — region and nation, tradition and modernity, gender, caste, and community, along with the complex, intersectional thrust of our self-fashioning in a globalised world.

It is the thinking of Clinton and her ilk that is responsible for many of our current problems, which is one reason so many people are drawn to Trump. To fall back on a clich, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. If you believe this, then voting for Clinton is insanity.

Comex Is The World's Most Corrupted Market
Rory Hall April 4, 2017
While no additional silver was put on deposit at the Comex during the [past] week, The Banks sold contracts for 120MM oz. This is fraud. [email protected] MetalsReport
If you were to poll the public about comparing the investment returns between gold, silver, and stocks during the first quarter of 2017, it's highly probable that the majority of the populace would respond that the S&P 500 outperformed the precious metals. That's a result of the mainstream media's unwillingness to report on the precious metals market, other than to disparage it as an investment.
In reality, among silver, gold, the Nasdaq 100, and the S&P 500, the S&P 500 had the lowest ROR in Q1. Silver led the pack at 14%, followed by tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 at 11.1%, gold at 8.6%, and the S&P 500 at 4.8%. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Cramer. Imagine the performance gold and silver would have turned in if the Comex was prevented from creating paper gold and silver in amounts that exceeded the quantity of gold and silver sitting in the Comex vaults.
As an example, as of Friday, the Comex is reporting 949k ozs of gold in the registered accounts of the Comex vaults and 9 million ozs of total gold. Yet, the open interest in paper gold contracts as of Friday totaled 41.7 million ozs. This is 44x more paper gold than the amount of physical that has been designated – "registered" – as available for delivery. It's 4.6x more than the total amount of gold sitting on Comex vaults.
With silver, the situation is even more extreme. The Comex is reporting 29.5 million ozs of silver as registered and 190.2 million total ozs. Yet, the open interest in paper silver is a staggering 1.08 billion ozs. 1.08 billion ozs of silver is more silver than the world mines in a year. The paper silver open interest is 5x greater than the total amount of silver held in Comex vaults; it's an astonishing 37x more than the amount of silver that is available to be delivered.
This degree of imbalance between the open interest in CME futures contracts in relation to the amount of the underlying physical commodity represented by those contracts never occurs in any other CME commodity – ever. Historically, when the amount of paper exceeds the amount of underlying commodity that is available for delivery by more than 20-30%, the CFTC intervenes by investigating the possibility of market manipulation. But never with gold and silver.
The Comex is perhaps the most corrupted securities market in history. It is emblematic of the fraud and corruption that has engulfed the entire U.S. financial and political system. The U.S. Government has now issued $20 trillion in Treasury debt, for which it has no intention of ever redeeming. It's issued over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities (entitlements, pensions, etc) for which default is not a matter of "if," but of "when."
In today's episode of the Shadow of Truth, we discuss "The Big Lie," which is also known as the "Comex," and explain why those looking to protect their savings should be buying physical gold and silver now:

Real Financial Freedom with Lynette Zang
by drewpearlman | Aug 7, 2021 | Podcast | 0 comments
Lynette Zang has held the position of Chief Market Analyst at ITM Trading since 2002. Ms. Zang has been in the markets on some level since 1964. She has been a banker, a stockbroker and studied world currencies since 1987. She believes strongly that we need to be as independent as possible and at the same time, we need to come together as a community in order to survive and thrive through hyperinflation. Her motto is food, water, energy, security, community, barter ability, and wealth preservation.
Lynette has a diverse background in finance and sees herself as guided to do this work. From an early age, she was influenced by her uncle who showed her the importance of holding physical hard assets, such as gold.
To this day, Lynette views herself as an artist. And she considers her power-point presentations on YouTube as an art form. She says that when you see yourself an artist, you have an advantage because you look at things from a creative perspective. Even if you are looking at the same graph or chart hundreds of times, you can still see something different. It all goes back to having a creative mindset. She encourages people to step back and look at things a little bit differently to open up a whole new world of understanding, vision and education.
Lynette talks about the current financial system and the ways in which it is breaking down. It's important to note that Lynette has studied currencies since 1987. As a stockbroker and artist, she sees patterns in the currencies. Lynette discovered that currencies have a life cycle, just like anything else. She says that "the problem we are all dealing with, even though we don't realize it, is that there's virtually no purchasing power left in the original dollar." Officially, according to the Federal Reserve, we've lost about 98% out of the purchasing power value of the dollar.
This goes back President Nixon taking the US off of the gold standard back in 1971, What he really did was hand over full control and the power over inflation to central bankers. According to Lynette, the reset of the global monetary system is inevitable, because central banks are out of tools. They have to shift us to a new DIGITAL system. In this way, we're moving from "good money" gold to fiat money and now to a programmable and controllable digital system of money.
To maintain our purchasing power and protect our standard of living, Lynette reminds people to hold "real money" gold. She says that when inflation gets out of control and goes into hyperinflation, and all confidence in the currency goes away, then the governments will reset the currency against one thing: gold. Throughout history, this has happened over 4800 times. The reason they use gold is because it's the only financial instrument that runs no counter party risk. Very simply, if you hold it, you own it. Furthermore, gold has been proven to protect people during a crisis.
However beyond physical assets like gold and silver, Lynette also talks about food, water, energy, security, community and shelter. "These are things we need to have a reasonable standard of living." She says we all got a glimpse of this at the beginning of the pandemic with supply chain disruptions and shortages.
Lynette has created a food forest at her property in Arizona. It started as a way to feed her family, but it's expanded to a means of feeding her community. Lynette says that she would feed the world, if she could! She created this food forest on only a ½ an acre of land. She grows an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and herbs as well as small ponds filled with tilapia, plus chickens and ducks for eggs.
In an earlier episode, author Jerry Lynch says that the word "crisis" in Chinese can be translated as "opportunity blowing on a dangerous wind." Lynette echoes this by saying that if you know what you're doing, there is opportunity during these turbulent times. That is why people need financial education: "You want to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right asset."
Currently, the price of gold has been artificially suppressed. As she says, a rising gold price is an indication of a failing currency. In this way, it's highly undervalued.
Lynette encourages people not to lose hope. One of the best things people can do is to connect with like-minded people and rely on the power of community. People with different skill sets can come together and make the whole better. She says: "don't give up hope, I have a lot of hope."
Every day, Lynette asks a higher power this question: "how can I be of service." She feels very guided and believes that her job is to share the gifts that she's been given.
