Which countries have the most slaves? Key figures from global survey index
May 31, 2016 by China-Underground
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Nearly 46 million people around the world are living as slaves, forced to work in factories, mines and farms, sold for sex, trapped in debt bondage or born into servitude, according to the third Global Slavery Index released on Tuesday. The survey by Walk Free Foundation, the Australia-based human rights group, increased the estimated number of people in modern slavery to 45.8 million from 35.8 million in 2014.
As a result of economic growth, poverty rates across the region have fallen, notably in India and China.
Here are some key figures from the index:
* Asia is home to an estimated two-thirds of the total number of people living in modern slavery
* Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for about 15 percent of the world's slaves
* India is the country with the greatest number of people living in some form of modern slavery, estimated at 18.3 million
* China came second with an estimated 3.4 million slaves and Pakistan third with an estimated 2.1 million slaves
* Rounding out the top 10 were Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, North Korea, Russia, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Indonesia
* North Korea is the country with the highest estimated proportion of modern slavery with nearly one in every 20 North Koreans, or 4.37 percent of a 25 million population, living in slavery
* In terms of concentration, second was Uzbekistan with 3.97 percent of its population in slavery amid reports of forced labour in its cotton industry, then Cambodia with 1.6 percent, India with 1.4 percent and Qatar with 1.36 percent
* Governments taking the most steps to combat modern slavery were the Netherlands, the United States, Britain, Sweden, Australia, Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Belgium and Norway
* The least action was being taken by the governments of North Korea, Iran, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Hong Kong, Central African Republic, Papua New Guinea, Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan.

Asia-Pacific :
The Asia-Pacific is the most populous region of the world. It spans Afghanistan in the west, to New Zealand in the south-east, to Mongolia in the north. Two thirds of the estimated 45.8 million people in modern slavery were identified in the Asia-Pacific. All forms of modern slavery were identified including forced labour in brick kilns, agriculture and the garment sector, child soldiers in Afghanistan, India and Thailand, forced begging, and commercial sexual exploitation. Men and women experienced forced labour in manufacturing, agriculture, food production and construction. Women were also vulnerable to sexual exploitation, forced marriage and domestic servitude. Large numbers of women and girls continued to migrate internally and internationally for jobs as domestic workers. While this offers an important economic opportunity, reports of abuse, exploitation and servitude persist, particularly in wealthy countries within the region where there was high demand for live-in help—Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. Inhumane treatment of domestic workers including starvation and sexual abuse was reported in 2015, as well as indicators of forced labour including extortionate recruitment fees, confinement to the place of employment, excessive unpaid overtime, withholding of wages and confiscation of identity documents. In 2016, cases of domestic worker exploitation were also noted in countries with low levels of prevalence, such as Australia.
The high prevalence of modern slavery in the region reflects the reality that many countries in Asia provide low-skilled labour for the production stage of global supply chains for various industries including food production, garments and technology.
Within low-skilled and loosely-regulated industries, there is a risk of modern slavery, such as human trafficking, forced labour and debt bondage. In 2015–2016, there were cases of forced labour within the Malaysian electronics industry, exploitation on Malaysian palm oil plantations, and debt bondage in
the apparel industries of Bangladesh and Vietnam. The reputational risk of slavery in supply chains compelled action
from global brands, including companies renowned for social responsibility. In 2015, whilst undertaking worker assessments, Patagonia identified workers in their Taiwanese supplier factories would take up to two years of a three-year employment contract to pay off recruitment-related debt. Patagonia have taken strong steps to combat the issue by prohibiting suppliers and their brokers to charge or collect any recruitment related-fees or expenses, and if the workers have paid fees, suppliers must reimburse them. The abuse of workers on Thai fishing vessels operating in South East Asian waters has become increasingly well documented. Researchers and investigative journalists have documented the abuse of migrant workers on fishing vessels, often young men and boys, who have endured brutal treatment including physical abuse, excessive and inhumane working hours, sleep and food deprivation, and forced use of methamphetamines. Some longhaul trawlers and their fishermen remained at sea for years at a time. Between April and September 2015, more than 2,000 men were rescued from Thai fishing vessels, many of which were operating in Indonesian waters. Ongoing reports of worker exploitation in seafood pre-processing facilities were also evident, with workers from Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos working excessive hours in oppressive and abusive conditions. Much of the seafood processed was distributed to the global market. Forced and child marriage persists in countries throughout the region, particularly in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Indonesia. The UN estimates more than 130 million girls in South Asia will be married between 2010 and 2030.
In China, the legacy of the former one-child policy has led to a shortage of women of marriageable age. To meet this demand, some Cambodian, Vietnamese and North Korean women and girls are trafficked to China to be sold as brides.
A similar sex imbalance, resulting in an absence of available brides in India,
has fuelled the trafficking of women for forced marriage. The sex imbalance is exacerbated in rural communities in India where many girls of marriageable age have migrated to cities for employment. In some instances, girls are forced into marriage and then used as unpaid labourers—local day labourers cost US$140 for a season but a bride can cost only US$100 as a once-off payment. Criminal justice and victim support statistics, including the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) statistics noted below, confirm that forced prostitution and the commercial sexual exploitation of women and girls continues to be a reality in the Asian region. Rising internet usage rates, the availability of mobile phones, and poverty in many parts of Asia has facilitated online forms of child sexual abuse for profit. The phenomenon of adults paying for direct live-streaming video footage of children performing sexual acts in front of a webcam was evident in the Philippines.
All countries within the Asia-Pacific exhibit some pre-conditions to modern slavery. Some countries, such as Afghanistan and Pakistan have high levels of conflict, terrorism and displacement. In other countries, such as Thailand and Myanmar, there is significant discrimination against minorities. Some countries in the region continue to exhibit weak rule of law, corruption and poverty, all of which increase individuals risk to modern slavery. Though countries like Australia and New Zealand exhibit high levels of development, stability and strong policies, some minority groups, including regular and irregular migrants, remain at risk of exploitation. Nonetheless, extreme poverty and unequal income distribution within countries, particularly between the rural and urban populations, persist as serious social and economic challenges.Unemployment and underemployment are chronic problems in the region which push men, women and children into risky migration practices and debt bondage. In 2015, the unemployment rate in Afghanistan soared to 40 percent. Myanmar also experienced a high youth unemployment rate of 9.5 percent, which assisted the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces) to recruit and use underage children in conflict. According to Child Soldiers International, unaccompanied children searching for work were recruited at railway stations, bus terminals, markets and outside temples, and deceptively offered roles as drivers. High levels of labour migration, some of which is regular but can involve payment of illegal fees or other irregular aspects, are reflected in patterns of exploitation. The Philippines has one of the largest migratory populations with their national economy largely depending on Overseas Filipino Worker's (OFW) remittances. The OFWs have been deemed the 'new heroes' of the Philippines' economy. However, some OFWs are subjected to exploitation throughout the Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and the Middle East. In November 2015, ten Filipina trafficking victims in Iraqi Kurdistan were rescued and repatriated by the Philippine Embassy after being subjected to debt bondage.
Natural disasters and the effects of climate change have increased vulnerability to modern slavery. Human traffickers preyed upon post-disaster populations who are vulnerable to accepting promises of jobs and security.
This was evidenced following Typhoon Haiyan where human traffickers were intercepted trafficking young women on false job offers, and seen again in 2015, after earthquakes in Nepal displaced more than two million people. Since then, Indian officials uncovered trafficking networks with an estimated 12,000 Nepalese children trafficked to India. Evolving climatic conditions also exacerbate vulnerability, increasing the potential for internal displacement, migration and willingness to search for improved livelihood opportunities through informal channels. Throughout 2015–16, cyclones in Myanmar, flooding in India, and drought in Vietnam have increased insecurity for thousands of people.
Systematic discrimination against some ethnic minorities and stateless populations across the region has resulted in patterns of high-risk migration. The Rohingya people, a Muslim ethnic group living in Myanmar, continue to face systemic persecution and denial of rights. In April 2015, the Myanmar Government stripped Rohingya of their voting rights by rescinding their temporary ID cards, the last official identification available to them. Many lost their homes, farms, and the ability to work, creating a dire choice between residing in shanty towns on the outskirts of Rakhine or paying smugglers to transport them abroad. In 2015, thousands were left stranded at sea.

Debate continues for PAUSD
February 1, 2012	0 Comments Share

The Palo Alto Unified School District board discussed the achievement gap between minority students and their white and Asian American counterparts at a Tuesday meeting. (ALISA ROYER/The Stanford Daily)
At Tuesday night's Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) meeting, the district board continued its discussion of an achievement gap at the district's two high schools, comparing minority student performance with that of white and Asian American students.
The board also hosted the high schools' principals Tuesday morning to hear their "High School Single Plans for Student Achievement." Themes addressed at the meeting included social health and academic intervention.
"We have a challenge when it comes to achievement of kids with different racial and ethnic backgrounds," PAUSD Superintendent Kevin Skelly said. "We've discussed the issue many, many times, so this meeting provides one other way to look at it."
As a whole, African American and Hispanic PAUSD high school students are currently scoring worse and meeting fewer graduation requirements than their white and Asian American peers.
Skelly refuted the idea that the system has become bifurcated, noting that both students of color and non-minority students have access to the same unique advantages in their school district.
The district's graduating class of 2011 self-identified as 57 percent white, 29 percent Asian American, eight percent Hispanic, two percent African American and four percent students of a separate racial category.
The students who did not meet the A-G Requirements necessary to be eligible for admission to a University of California (UC) were 51 percent white, 12 percent Asian American, 23 percent Hispanic and 10 percent African American. Students of a separate racial category formed the only group that held a constant rate at four percent.
A-G requirements include two years of history or social science, four years of English, three years of mathematics, two years of laboratory science, two years of a language other than English, one year of visual and performing arts and one year of an elective. All classes must be at the college preparatory level to fulfill requirements.
Last spring, Skelly proposed modifying some of the district's graduation requirements to align with standards for UCs and California State Universities. The current PAUSD graduation requirements that would be affected are those for two years of mathematics, two years of science (not necessarily laboratory science) and one year of either foreign language or visual or performing arts.
At last night's meeting, Skelly presented a PowerPoint entitled "Graduation Requirements: Preliminary Thinking on a New Approach," outlining his proposal and the rationale behind it. He also presented "Algebra II Performance and Learning," which showed lower results for African American and Hispanic students in California Standards Tests (CST) scores than their white and Asian American peers.
Board members and speakers from the community emphasized that high school success is also a reflection of elementary and middle school learning.
"The effects of stereotypes can be so costly," PAUSD Vice President Dana Tom said. "I wish this were a simple issue to address. It requires vigilance, attention and a multi-pronged approach. This is a pre-K to 12 issue, not just a high school issue. The gap exists in elementary school as well."
Although a specific plan has not been implemented at this point, the PAUSD community expressed a clear desire to address this disparity problem. The board said it has taken full note of the concerns of residents of Palo Alto.
"There are two gaps here," said Ken Dauber of We Can Do Better Palo Alto when time was allotted for comments from the public. "We are ranked quite low for African American and Hispanic students while we are ranked quite high for white and Asian students. The hidden achievement gap is the one between Palo Alto District and other high achieving schools."
According to PAUSD President Camille Townsend, Gunn High School principal Katya Villalobos spoke at the morning meeting about additional counselors and ways of intervening when students are not performing well academically. Townsend said she feels that further measures are also necessary for significant improvements to be made.
"I think we're going to have a much better success rate if we start at the elementary school level," PAUSD Board Member Melissa Baten Caswell said. "We can't just attack it at the high school level."

At the beginning of 1990 I was working at the National Galleries of Scotland. I was a civil servant and had a job title worthy of 'Yes, Minister': I was the Keeper of Information, although it was my job to give it away. Then, when I saw what PageMaker – the original 'desktop publishing' program – could do I bought myself an early Apple Mac and set up shop in Cumberland Street in Edinburgh. There was a large sign in the window saying 'typographer'. It was a statement of intent rather than fact.
That was the starting point that led me into producing publicity material and, soon, publications for museums, galleries, art dealers and, more occasionally, publishers. One job in that interconnected world has, happily, led to another. Over more than twenty five years I have designed well over a thousand books and catalogues. Here is a virtual pile of books, one for each year, chosen to show some of the key clients I have worked with over that period.

Al-Qaida Leadership Roles
In view of the vital national security interests of the U.S. and its allies in the war on terror to accurately conceptualize the leadership role structure (terrorist types) in an organization such as al-Qaida and to interdict future attacks, I provide a summary of my analysis of the key leadership roles in global-reach terrorism operations.

Personality Profiles of Three Al-Qaeda Leaders
Aubrey Immelman
Unit for the Study of Personality in Politics
Personality assessment of three al-Qaeda leaders in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United States provides evidence for a rudimentary model of the leadership roles required for major terrorist operations. This model has implications for combating terror.
Assessment of Osama bin Laden (Immelman 2002a), founder and leader of al-Qaeda, shows he is highly ambitious and exploitative (i.e., narcissistic), with adventurous and dissenting (i.e., antisocial) tendencies. Narcissistic leaders are bold, competitive, self-assured, and frequently charismatic; they easily assume leadership roles, expect others to recognize their special qualities, and often act as though entitled. Antisocial leaders are bold, courageous, and tough; are minimally constrained by the norms of society; routinely engage in high-risk adventures; are not overly concerned about the welfare of others; are skilled in the art of social influence; and are adept at surviving on the strength of their talents, ingenuity, and wits.
Bin Laden's blend of narcissistic and antisocial personality patterns suggests the presence of the unprincipled narcissist syndrome. This character complex combines the narcissist's arrogant sense of self-worth, exploitative indifference to the welfare of others, and grandiose expectation of special recognition with the antisocial personality's self-aggrandizement, deficient social conscience, and disregard for the rights of others.
A major implication is that bin Laden neither fits the profile of the highly conscientious, closed-minded religious fundamentalist, nor that of the religious martyr who combines these qualities with devout, self-sacrificing features; rather, it suggests that bin Laden is adept at exploiting Islamic fundamentalism in the service of his own ambition and personal dreams of glory. In the war on terrorism, information operations can be used to undermine the moral authority of the charismatic leader.
Assessment of Ayman al-Zawahiri (Immelman & Kuhlmann, 2003), reportedly chief strategist for al-Qaeda operations prior to 9/11, shows that he is highly contentious and oppositional (i.e., negativistic), with highly dominant and controlling (i.e., sadistic) tendencies.
The amalgam of negativistic and sadistic personality patterns in Zawahiri's profile suggests the presence of the abrasive negativist syndrome. For these personalities, minor frictions easily exacerbate into major confrontations and power struggles. They characteristically take the moral high ground, dogmatically and contemptuously expose their antagonists perceived hypocrisy, and contemptuously, derisively, and scornfully turn on those who cross their path.
The study offers an empirically based psychological framework for conceptualizing Ayman al-Zawahiri's antagonistic negativism, single-minded commitment to a cause and inflammatory rhetoric. The major implication is that it highlights the importance of a committed, persuasive, "true believer" in a strategic position close to the charismatic leader.
Assessment of 9/11 hijack ringleader Mohamed Atta (Immelman 2002b) indicates a highly conscientious (i.e., compulsive), introverted (i.e., schizoid) individual with secondary self-denying (i.e., masochistic) features.
Atta's personality profile suggests the presence of the puritanical compulsive syndrome. This composite character complex is rooted in deep ambivalence between obedience and defiance, and characterized by the dual ego defenses of reaction formation against forbidden thoughts and sadistic displacement of hostile impulses. The masochistic elements in Atta's profile provide a partial, personality-based explanatory framework for his willingness to sacrifice his life as a martyr for his cause.
The major implication is that political socialization experiences that produce a compulsive character structure — one manifestation of which is the classic authoritarian personality — may predispose a person to suicidal acts of terror (so-called "martyrdom") when molded by a political culture that promotes religious fanaticism. In the war on terrorism, the ability of security personnel to identify the external features of this personality pattern can increase the probability of detecting terror operatives inside the United States and at our borders.
Summary and Formulation
Collectively, these three studies suggest three critical roles in terrorist organizations: (1) A narcissistic, charismatic leader devoid of core values beyond personal self-interest, adept at exploiting others in pursuit of their grandiose ambitions; (2) strategic-thinking "true believers" without constraints of conscience in the levels of violence they are willing to employ in their single-minded pursuit of mission; and (3) unobtrusive, disciplined operatives willing to sacrifice themselves for a "higher cause." The presence of such radically different personality types occupying key roles in a terrorist organization has practical implications for fighting terrorism.

For many, YouTube is the first, and only, internet site to search for videos of all kinds. Whether the video is about the political election, the daily news, a funny blooper or a missed TV episode, YouTube has it all. More recently, educators are beginning to value the internet sites that their students have been using in their leisure time. Educators now understand the power of the Internet and how using this new technology can be beneficial to their students. So who created YouTube, and where did their bright ideas come from? The Basics of YouTube will be able to explain all of this to you.
What is the purpose of YouTube?
In 2006, YouTube was purchased by Google, "for $1.65 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction". 3 YouTube still operates independently from Google to keep the community that has been with YouTube from the start. Steve and Chad are now the CEO and Chief Technology Officer of YouTube, respectively.

Q: ARC-aware UIImage from UIView My application iterates through a directory of PDF-files, draws there first page into a off-screen UIView subclass using the CGPDF API functions, which makes a UIImage available to the application. The UIView subclass simply adds the @property (nonatomic,assign) image, which in its setter uses the standard way to get a UIImage from a UIView, as per Apple references.
UIViewWithImage.h:
@interface UIViewWithImage : UIView {
    UIImage* image;
}
@property (nonatomic,strong) UIImage* image;
@end

UIViewWithImage.m:
@implementation UIViewWithImage
@dynamic image;
-(UIImage*)image {

    if( [self.layer respondsToSelector:@selector(setShouldRasterize:)])
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions( self.bounds.size, NO, self.contentScaleFactor );
    else
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.bounds.size);

    [self.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return image;
}
@end

So far, so good. My application uses ARC (automatic reference counting) and crashes in this method, short after memory warnings are received. There is no exception thrown, instruments was not of great help as I could not observe memory accumulations. Only removing the code from the setter saves the app from crashing.
I have read a lot about bridging, which seems not applicable in my case. It seems to me that the code above allocates objects and never frees them, at least that will explain the memory warnings.
Any help is appreciated.

Here We Go Again: 87 KG Back As USA Greco's Most Compelling Weight Class
By Timothy Hands
Jon Anderson -- Photo: Richard Immel
Think for a moment about how you might define "depth". Traditionally, at least pertaining to a wrestling bracket, depth is used in reference to quantity of quality. The larger the number of skilled, proven competitors, the deeper a weight class becomes in the eyes of most.
Should there reside a higher standard, a deep weight category suggests that more than several athletes are capable of winning the tournament, and that no matter which of them does, it would not come as a surprise.
87 kilograms in the United States has some of that working in its favor entering this upcoming try at a second Olympic Year.
77 is the popular pick for many observers thanks to an overload of star power. A minimum of eight recent US World Team members will suit up for the Olympic Trials in this bracket, including two-time Olympian Ben Provisor (NYAC/BVRTC) and John Stefanowicz (Marines). Neither Provisor or Stefanowicz has competed at 77 just yet under the same-day weigh-in format, but that is likely not to present an issue.
The situation at 60 kilograms is quite similar. Five wrestlers who have appeared on World/Olympic Teams will be in the running, not to mention the weight class' two-time reigning National Champion, Mike Fuenffinger (Army/WCAP).
Then there is 67, which leading into the fall of 2019 was certainly considered suitably competitive, but maybe not quite as crowded as 77 and 60. That all changed this past fall. The rapid ascensions of Calvin Germinaro (Minnesota Storm) and Nolan Baker (NYAC) — in conjunction with Xavier Johnson (Marines) bumping up and the anticipated re-entry of 72 kilogram World Teamer Ray Bunker (Marines) — served to elevate the perception surrounding 67 in a hurry. This despite being a weight class where the #1 guy, Ellis Coleman (Army/WCAP), has just come off of three straight World Team appearances, owns five National titles, and whose domestic record over the course of the quad stands at a remarkable 32-3 — and Ottawa hero Alex Sancho (Army/WCAP) awaiting in the best-of-three final.
All three weight divisions will provide plenty to discuss in October (should the recently-scheduled US Nationals occur) and in the spring, when both the Last Chance Qualifier and Olympic Trials arrive. We know this. We have known it. These three weights are worthy of the exposure that they are going to receive.
That does not mean any of them are more interesting than 87 kilograms, however. Not now, and not in March or early-April. And if you trace things back just a few years, it was easy to see this coming.
It Started In 2017
2017 is when it first began for the current group of US Seniors. At that year's World Team Trials, it was difficult not to notice. The 85 kilogram bracket featured three athletes who had made World/Olympic Teams, a reigning National champ, the National runner-up, and an athlete whom although did not own such credentials (yet), was and still is recognized as a World-caliber competitor.
'17 WTT Seeds
(Credentials acquired prior to '17 World Team Trials)
Kevin Radford (Sunkist) — '16 National Champion
Ben Provisor (NYAC) — Two-time Olympian (eventual '17 Trials champ)
Patrick Martinez (NYAC/FLWC) — Two-time World Team
Joe Rau (TMWC/IRTC, world #7) — '14 World Team; '16 Olympic Trials Champion (eventual '17 runner-up)
Jon Anderson (Army/WCAP) — Multi-time Trials finalist/National Team member (eventual third place)
Khymba Johnson (NYAC) — '16 National runner-up
Lucas Sheridan (Army/WCAP) — 4th at '17 WTT
Jeff Palmieri (NYAC)
Sherwin Severin (Air Force)
Dan Olsen (UA)
Vaughn Monreal-Berner (Marines)
The '17 bracket for 85 kilos was rightfully acknowledged and celebrated for its toughness. Was it as "stacked" as say, 59 or 75 kilograms? Eye of the beholder. But this was a tournament where Rau and Anderson were forced to square off in a quarterfinal. Provisor and Martinez bruised each other up in the semis (and would do so again the following year in the best-of-three). Meanwhile, Anderson rebounded from his loss to Rau and ran the table on the backside after having spent most of the winter piecing together workouts in high school rooms due to a temporary duty assignment.
Skip ahead to '18. Sheridan? Up at 97 kilograms. Same with Johnson. Anderson was in Afghanistan, and Rau had to withdraw the week of the Trials due to a broken jaw suffered in an after-practice incident with a wrestler who is no longer active. It was up to Provisor and Martinez to keep the bracket afloat, which they did. But — without the likes of Anderson and Rau, 87 in '18 did not have nearly the same punch as it did the year prior.
Last season saw a noticeable improvement. Rau sprung to life at the Open, defeating Provisor and Martinez in consecutive matches to take the crown and earn a berth to Final X. Less than a month later, Provisor downed Barrett Stanghill (Minnesota Storm/NTS) in the Challenge Tournament best-of-three; Martinez placed "true second"; and JD Souza (Army/WCAP) and Monreal-Berner demonstrated that they were perhaps starting to turn an important corner in their respective careers.
That "Class of '17" bracket, at the time lauded for its unexpected depth, has been by and large shattered. Only five athletes from that season remain in the weight category — Anderson, Martinez, Monreal-Berner, Olsen, and Rau.
So how is 87 more intriguing now than it was then?
How else does such a thing happen? An influx of talent, a few wrestlers reaching their primes, and the return of two proven competitors from the past.
Olympic Trials: Already In
As of August '20, there are seven athletes holding bracket positions (not counting Rau) for next spring's Olympic Trials. That number could actually be as high as eight, or as low as six. Dillon Cowan (Army/WCAP) sauntered back into competition this past December up at 87, and went on to qualify for the Trials by placing second (at 82 kilos) in February's Armed Forces Championships. Chandler Rogers (TMWC), who earned his Trials ticket after finishing third at the Bill Farrell Memorial in November, departed the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center to accept an assistant coaching role at Arkansas Little Rock and is reportedly contemplating retirement.
But since Rogers has not publicly declared that he will step away — and for the purpose of demonstrating the (potential) strength at 87 kilograms in place at the Olympic Trials — he is listed below.
*Joe Rau (TMWC/IRTC, world #7) — Rau earned the Olympic license for Team USA in March at the Pan-Am Olympic Qualifier. By doing so, he enjoys an automatic berth in the best-of-three Trials final.
Jon Anderson (Army/WCAP, 1st at '19 Nationals) — Anderson arrived back in the US following his career-disrupting deployment to Afghanistan in the fall of '18 and still had numerous military responsibilities with which to deal before he could wrestle again. So what does he do? Enters the '19 Dave Schultz Memorial with very little preparation and, at least by his own standards, out of shape. Yet — he still put together a solid showing en-route to a finals loss against Alan Vera (NYAC, more on him soon), and almost made a match out of the thing until Vera closed it out late in the second frame. Anderson struggled at the Farrell but regrouped in time for the December Nationals, where he impressively downed Rogers in the semis. Martinez had to bow out of the final due to injury, giving Anderson his first Senior title. But that's just details for the moment. Anderson is in shape, had had steady partners (for the most part) ever since, and will be locked in more than ever before this coming season.
Patrick Martinez (NYAC/FLWC, 2nd at '19 Nationals) — One of the program's most consistent competitors, Martinez's only "down year" was '17, when he placed fifth. In between, he has been as reliable as it gets. Only three Americans have scored wins against Martinez since '16: Rau, Provisor, and Anderson. The pendulum has swung the other way, too. Martinez defeated Anderson to get the spot in '16 (non-Olympic Trials) and got past Provisor in the '18 event. A true workhorse. Martinez is never comfortable with time away from competition. He is always trying to find different ways to challenge himself; and despite his punishing style, is an exceptionally calculated wrestler. He just doesn't make mistakes. Martinez gives up more passives than anything else, and half the time that could go in either direction. Most look at the top-3 here as nearly interchangeable, which sums up 87 as a whole quite nicely.
Chandler Rogers (TMWC, 6th at '19 Nationals) — After an encouraging finish in the '19 US Open (at 82 kg), Rogers endured a most frustrating performance at the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament. He had a late lead against John Stefanowicz (Marines) in the quarterfinal until the bottom fell out; and then he fell to former wunderkind Tommy Brackett in his first consolation match. But what he did in New York is tough to forget. Rogers has improved quickly — and 87 seems a better fit for him than even non-Olympic 82 was. But who knows if we see him again. If we do, and if he continues making critical, discernible strides, a sleeper threat.
Carter Nielsen (Minnesota Storm, 3rd at '19 Nationals) — If the pandemic did not shut down the season, Nielsen would have been either the #3 or #4 seed at the Trials (probably #4). He had momentum on his side; he was also scaring people with his on-the-feet mechanics. Nielsen, who was originally pegged for 77 kilos a year ago, is the fastest and perhaps most intuitive scorer from standing in the entire bracket. No one else is cutting angles like he does, or forcing drags to reach-arounds with as high of a success rate. Martinez was able to outlast him in their initial meeting last December, though a bout with Anderson might provide an even-more suitable baseline for how much of a threat Nielsen really is due to their contrast in styles.

Rich Carlson (Minnesota Storm, 4th at '19 Nationals) — Carlson is vastly underrated. Hardly gets any attention, is hardly talked about. Strange, considering this is an athlete who made Junior World Teams and appeared in the finals of the first-ever U23 Trials. Why does Carlson continuously fly under the radar? A lot of it has to do with his workmanlike methodology. He isn't flashy. Not that 87 is crammed with a variety of offensive juggernauts, but Carlson — not unlike Martinez — is so engrossed in the pummel battle that his skills are rarely showcased in a manner adequately representative of his ability — which is quite substantial.
Barrett Stanghill (Minnesota Storm, 5th at '19 Nationals) — 2018-19 was close to a career season for Stanghill. He was edged by Souza via criteria in the quarters of the US Open but came back strong the next month by advancing to the Trials challenge tournament final against Provisor, who prevailed. Then in the "true second" bout a little while later, Martinez clipped Stanghill 2-1. This is how it has gone for Stanghill. He has been on the doorstep to a National Team spot virtually every year, just missing out each time. Naturally, that is a source of frustration for him. But there is no arguing the steady growth and consistency. Wrestlers like Stanghill, who have participated on a full-time basis for the better part of decade, have a habit of breaking through eventually.
Terrence Zaleski (Marines, 1st at '20 Armed Forces) — We have witnessed precisely one event with Zaleski at 87 kilograms, the Armed Forces Championships in February. There at Naval Base Kitsap, Zaleski looked frighteningly quick compared to his two opponents — which was important in its own way. Zaleski said last fall that he expected to be quicker than his upper-weight opposititon. A small sample size, but he's right so far. That quickness is not as important as par terre, of course. Zaleski is a capable lifter but he will need to defend against some of these monsters. PT defense at 87 is more crucial to success than offense. That's the only x-factor pertaining to Zaleski. If he clears that mystery up accordingly, a live candidate.

Who Is Still Out There?
The athletes on the outside of the Olympic Trials bubble are the real story — and why the Last Chance qualifier next March could be the best one in American history. The 87 kilogram bracket alone may field as many as 18 competitors, with ten of those deemed full-timers. We are only going to highlight six for now, beginning with the man who is not yet eligible to represent the US in Tokyo but is thought of as a legitimate threat to wind up against Rau in the Olympic Trials finals.
Alan Vera (NYAC) — Vera, who is married to former women's freestyler and World medalist Elena Pirozhkova, defected from Cuba four years ago and is still without the proper documentation required to compete for the US in a World/Olympic event. That is going to change, probably by sometime in the fall. In terms of overall skill, Vera is a step or two above his 87-kilo (domestic) contemporaries. An outstanding lift, excellent defense, and can transition on the feet to meaningful, worthwhile scoring opportunities. Stateside, he has won the Farrell and the Schultz, and last season took third at the Ukrainian International Tournament. Vera is no joke, and wears a rather large target on his back. Forget "Last Chance" he is looked at as an automatic top contender in the Challenge Tournament. A correct assumption.
Marcus Finau (NYAC) — When Finau unexpectedly broke his self-imposed exile from Senior Greco last December, he immediately entered this conversation. Everyone remembered his praise-worthy past, including the pair of Junior World Teams and Senior Trials runner-up performance from '13. What they didn't see coming was his entrance into this weight category, where he is sporting a leaner, more streamlined physique with much of the same power. Finau is big for 87, like Vera, like Rau — but had not yet become used to the adjustments necessary for the lighter division. They don't plod the same here as they do at 97. And since he has competed precisely zero times since then, it is unknown how much that has changed. But let's figure that it has. After all, Finau has been able to train with actual partners recently. Supposing he is able to fully regain his feel and instincts and make it all work at 87, it is hard to imagine an Olympic Trials unfolding without him involved.
Jake Clark (Minnesota Storm) — Clark will be 40 by the time the Last Chance Qualifier arrives on the calendar. That will be the focal point for most observers, just as it was four years ago when Clark returned at age 35. But we recall what happened that season, right? After dusting off the cobwebs at the '15 Farrell, Clark went unscored upon a month later at the Nationals and steamrolled the field on his way to the Olympic Trials finals. To be fair, things are a little different now. Clark is married, he's a father, and up to his elbows in responsibilities off the mat, which include running his growing wrestling club. He can't "just train" and have that as his only lot in life. However, there are two variables deserving of mention: word is that on the occasions he has practiced with other Seniors in and around his weight, he has dominated; the other is that no one at 87 is as crafty or capable of upsetting the flow of their opposition. Clark specializes in engineering discomfort, be it on the feet with subtle changes in push-pull and pressure; or by going to his front headlock from par terre that turns faces six separate shades of blue. Dates on birth certificates make for nice storyline filler but wind up arbitrary when the whistle blows. Clark is hoping to prove that once again, and it would not be at all surprising if he does.
JD Souza (Army/WCAP) — Similar to Carlson and Stanghill, Souza is a National Team-quality athlete who receives very little attention despite what has been consistent, encouraging improvement and enough solid performances to be considered a potential breakout. He was on the right trajectory a season ago until a) he was upended by Marine rival Monreal-Berner in Raleigh and b) practically tore his entire knee apart at the seams shortly thereafter. In other words, he is among those who benefited from everything being postponed. Recovery from a major injury, especially in the lower half (and more so in a knee for a Greco athlete) usually invites a nice, big question mark. Not for Souza. His work ethic is fanatical. As soon as he could barely bend his leg, he was feverishly working towards a comeback and quickly ran ahead of schedule. People fixate on his musculature, which is understandable since it looks like he was drawn up by the staff at Marvel. Such talks obscures his skill-set and ability. Few want to take him head-on, so they try to busy him up in the pummel in an effort to push the pace and wear him out. What they forget is that Souza's toolbox is well-balanced and complemented by extreme athleticism. Par terre is iffy, particularly from bottom. That hardly makes him unique.
Souza suffered a major knee injury following the 2018-19 season and required a lengthy recovery period before resuming "wrestling activities". According to those inside Army/WCAP, he is operating near full capacity and is expected to return to competition at the first available opportunity. (Photo: Army/WCAP)
Vaughn Monreal-Berner (Marines) — The progress has been steady. Noticeable. It has also been a "one step forward, two steps back" proposition. VMB, another big body, has a tendency to put together matches that suggest he is a whisper or two away from jumping up into a top-3 spot. You have to isolate those a little bit, but they are available. He is an actual scorer. That may not seem important, but at 87 kilos points come at a premium, and Monreal-Berner is not afraid to take a risk if it means a crooked number is waiting on the other side of the attempt. There is an arm spin — certainly a rarity for most others here — as well as a more-than solid cascading bodylock with the fitful energy it takes to land one. The issue is that matches can go off the rails (often due to giving up turns, naturally), though there have been some odd head-scratching scrambles, as well. The good news is that (save for the '19 December Nationals, and dismissing Armed Forces where he went up to 97) there have been enough promising domestic performances over the past four seasons to see that he is inching closer.
Dan Olsen (UA) — You hate to use the word "deserve". Wrestling is meritocratic. Everything is supposed to be earned, not given, and not the result of some fortuitous set of circumstances one might stumble upon. Dan Olsen, "The Viking Warrior", as it were, is very good. He is a solid, lunch-pail type of competitor with substantial Senior-level experience. But, a few years ago, back when he was an assistant at Wheaton College, he was without any Greco partners — save for two-time Olympian and Wheaton head coach Jim Gruenwald. Forget that Gruenwald was then in his mid-40's and instead hone in on how he's 5'4 and (still) maybe about 66 kilos. Olsen left Wheaton, so now in order to compete he makes do on his own more than anything else, though he has popped up in some decent rooms occasionally. The reason this is worth mentioning is because it is not difficult to fathom that if Olsen were in a high-speed, full-time training environment, his career might look drastically different. We have said this all before. Any discussion about Olsen usually begins and ends with his preparation. The Nationals were a bit rough. He did not qualify last December, losing to VMB, Stanghill, and Finau en-route to eighth. With wrestling's shutdown since March, it is any wonder if Olsen has been able to make up necessary ground. Here's hoping he at least gets the opportunity to make that happen.
It Won't Be Long
USA Wrestling recently announcing their intent to hold a National tournament in October means that we may get a sense of just how potent 87 kilograms is well before the springtime. "May", because that event hardly seems like a given at the moment; plus, participation is doubtful to include all of the athletes outlined above (or even half, depending on with whom you speak). Nevertheless, such a tournament would provide a workable litmus test, especially if Vera is cleared by then.
Of course, a National tournament in the autumn, full bracket or otherwise, will not come close to the theater of the Olympic Trials or the Last Chance before it. The pieces are in place. A weight category that is normally relegated to third-tier priority among wrestling fans is all but guaranteed to deliver more drama than any of the others. Storylines in wrestling aren't written in the middle of an event. They begin taking shape months prior. In some cases, years. That is what we're witnessing for 87 kilograms and it couldn't come at a more appropriate time.

What's the Problem With Al Jazeera?
The most popular news channel in the Arab world sits uneasily at the center of the Qatar crisis.
Closing the station was an extreme demand, like the others on the 13-point list released late this week. Taken as a whole, the list asks Doha to do nothing short of change its entire foreign policy. The crisis shows no signs of ending—because, as the Al Jazeera matter illustrates, it is a chance for Qatar's neighbors to air grievances they have harbored for years, if not decades.
Along with reporting the news, though, Al Jazeera has also spent a good chunk of its 20-year history making it. The Saudis recalled their ambassador from Doha in 2002 after the network aired a panel discussion featuring dissidents from the kingdom. Other countries have periodically expelled Al Jazeera journalists and tried to block its satellite signal; Egypt arrested three staffers in 2013 on sham charges of reporting false news and terrorism, and held them in custody for more than a year. But the current crisis—the demand for its complete closure—is unprecedented.
Despite the headaches it caused, Al Jazeera's Arabic channel (AJA) was a useful instrument of soft power for a tiny state that once tried to stand apart from both its neighbors and the region's internecine feuds. Doha used to be a sort of Geneva-on-the-Gulf, the place where everyone went to hash out their differences. It wasn't uncommon to see camouflage-clad Sudanese rebels taking high tea in the lobby of the Four Seasons. Hamas and Fatah, the rival Palestinian factions, signed a reconciliation deal in Qatar. Lebanese leaders did the same in 2008, ending an 18-month standoff in Beirut.
At the start of the Arab Spring, both the emirate and the network shifted gears. They initially backed the uprisings, then narrowed their focus, throwing their support behind the Islamist groups that tried to fill the vacuum. It was a risky bet for Qatar, one that quickly backfired. Within two years, the Islamists had either provoked a backlash in Tunisia and Egypt or found themselves embroiled in ruinous civil wars in Libya, Syria, and Yemen.
There was, and still is, a vast gulf between AJA and Al Jazeera English, which was launched in 2006. They share a name, but little else, even operating out of separate buildings across the street from each other. Their editorial lines are also sharply different. In February 2011, days after Mubarak resigned, citizens of Bahrain started their own anti-government protests, led by the country's Shia majority, which has long suffered under an official policy of discrimination. Saudi Arabia soon sent troops to help quash the uprising, which Gulf leaders viewed—without any credible proof—as an Iranian plot to undermine a fellow monarch. AJA largely stuck to the official line. The English-language channel was far more critical, and even won a Peabody Award for a documentary on the brutal crackdown. I made several trips to Bahrain myself, and never felt any pressure to change my reporting.
The climate changed in the summer of 2013, after the Egyptian army overthrew Mohamed Morsi, the elected Muslim Brotherhood president. On August 14, as security forces were brutally clearing a pro-Morsi sit-in, an Al Jazeera English presenter asked a Brotherhood spokesperson a valid question: why were women and children still present at a protest that would inevitably be targeted by the authorities? The anchor was almost immediately pulled off the air and reprimanded for being insufficiently sympathetic to the group. For months, she was barred from presenting the news and relegated to a pre-recorded chat show. There was also an internal struggle over how to cover that summer's protests against Turkey's Islamist president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Still, much of the English programming remains fair and objective—adjectives that no longer apply to its Arabic sister channel. Shortly after the coup against Morsi, Ahmed Mansour, a prominent anchor, was quoted on the Brotherhood's website as saying that the interim Egyptian president was a Jew carrying out an Israeli plot. Faisal al-Qassim, another presenter, once hosted a segment on whether Syria's Alawite population deserved genocide. In 2014, the channel's Iraqi affairs editor tweeted approvingly about the Camp Speicher massacre, in which the Islamic State killed more than 1,500 air-force cadets in Tikrit after singling out the Shia and non-Muslims. Some journalists quit in protest; the ones who remained continue to push a sectarian, pro-Sunni Islamist line. Though Al Jazeera is still widely watched, its reputation has been tarnished as its ratings have dropped.
Much of this does not bother Saudi Arabia, which is, after all, the wellspring of the ultraconservative Sunni ideology that has become so prevalent on AJA. The kingdom's own satellite channel, Al Arabiya, has hosted some of the same sectarian voices, like Adnan al-Arour, a Syrian cleric who once promised to "chop you [Alawites] up and feed you to the dogs." It also has a reputation for simply making things up, like this unbylined June 7 piece about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard protecting the Qatari emir's palace.
The list of 13 demands presented to Qatar this week is revealing. The first item, which asks Qatar to cut ties with Iran, is a red herring: While they maintain cordial relations—a necessity, because the two countries share a massive natural gas field—they are hardly close. Doha also trades far less with Tehran than Dubai does, a fact that has gone strangely unmentioned on Al Arabiya in recent weeks.
Anwar Gargash, the Emirati minister of state for foreign affairs, said the list was the result of "serious mediation" led by Kuwait. The Qataris see it as a set of unreasonable, maximalist demands, asking them to abandon their foreign policy and align themselves completely with their neighbors and rivals. They are unlikely to accede. It is all a sad denouement to the Arab Spring: six years after a wave of pro-democracy revolutions, the latest crisis roiling the region is a spat over, among other things, which Arab autocracy will control the airwaves.

19.12. <tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal">xml.sax.handler</tt> — Base classes for SAX handlers¶

New in version 2.0.

The SAX API defines four kinds of handlers: content handlers, DTD handlers,
error handlers, and entity resolvers. Applications normally only need to
implement those interfaces whose events they are interested in; they can
implement the interfaces in a single object or in multiple objects. Handler
implementations should inherit from the base classes provided in the module
<tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal">xml.sax.handler</tt>, so that all methods get default implementations.

class <tt class="descclassname">xml.sax.handler.</tt><tt class="descname">ContentHandler</tt>¶

This is the main callback interface in SAX, and the one most important to
applications. The order of events in this interface mirrors the order of the
information in the document.

class <tt class="descclassname">xml.sax.handler.</tt><tt class="descname">DTDHandler</tt>¶

Handle DTD events.

This interface specifies only those DTD events required for basic parsing
(unparsed entities and attributes).

class <tt class="descclassname">xml.sax.handler.</tt><tt class="descname">EntityResolver</tt>¶

Basic interface for resolving entities. If you create an object implementing
this interface, then register the object with your Parser, the parser will call
the method in your object to resolve all external entities.

class <tt class="descclassname">xml.sax.handler.</tt><tt class="descname">ErrorHandler</tt>¶

Interface used by the parser to present error and warning messages to the
application.  The methods of this object control whether errors are immediately
converted to exceptions or are handled in some other way.

In addition to these classes, <tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal">xml.sax.handler</tt> provides symbolic constants
for the feature and property names.

<tt class="descclassname">xml.sax.handler.</tt><tt class="descname">feature_namespaces</tt>¶

value: <tt class="docutils literal">"http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces"</tt>

true: Perform Namespace processing.

19.12.1. ContentHandler Objects¶

Users are expected to subclass <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">ContentHandler</tt> to support their
application.  The following methods are called by the parser on the appropriate
events in the input document:

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">setDocumentLocator</tt><big>(</big>locator<big>)</big>¶

Called by the parser to give the application a locator for locating the origin
of document events.

SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a
locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by
invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the
DocumentHandler interface.

The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any
document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically,
the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as
character content that does not match an application’s business rules). The
information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a
search engine.

Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation
of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at
any other time.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">startDocument</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Receive notification of the beginning of a document.

The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any other methods in
this interface or in DTDHandler (except for <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">setDocumentLocator()</tt>).

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">endDocument</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Receive notification of the end of a document.

The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, and it will be the last method
invoked during the parse. The parser shall not invoke this method until it has
either abandoned parsing (because of an unrecoverable error) or reached the end
of input.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">startPrefixMapping</tt><big>(</big>prefix, uri<big>)</big>¶

Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

The information from this event is not necessary for normal Namespace
processing: the SAX XML reader will automatically replace prefixes for element
and attribute names when the <tt class="docutils literal">feature_namespaces</tt> feature is enabled (the
default).

There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character
data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically;
the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startPrefixMapping()</tt> and <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">endPrefixMapping()</tt> events supply the
information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if
necessary.

Note that <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startPrefixMapping()</tt> and <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">endPrefixMapping()</tt> events are not
guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each-other: all
<tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startPrefixMapping()</tt> events will occur before the corresponding
<tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startElement()</tt> event, and all <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">endPrefixMapping()</tt> events will occur
after the corresponding <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">endElement()</tt> event, but their order is not
guaranteed.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">endPrefixMapping</tt><big>(</big>prefix<big>)</big>¶

End the scope of a prefix-URI mapping.

See <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startPrefixMapping()</tt> for details. This event will always occur after
the corresponding <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">endElement()</tt> event, but the order of
<tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">endPrefixMapping()</tt> events is not otherwise guaranteed.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">startElement</tt><big>(</big>name, attrs<big>)</big>¶

Signals the start of an element in non-namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the raw XML 1.0 name of the element type as a
string and the attrs parameter holds an object of the <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">Attributes</tt>
interface (see The Attributes Interface) containing the attributes of
the element.  The object passed as attrs may be re-used by the parser; holding
on to a reference to it is not a reliable way to keep a copy of the attributes.
To keep a copy of the attributes, use the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">copy()</tt> method of the attrs
object.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">endElement</tt><big>(</big>name<big>)</big>¶

Signals the end of an element in non-namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the
<tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startElement()</tt> event.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">startElementNS</tt><big>(</big>name, qname, attrs<big>)</big>¶

Signals the start of an element in namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type as a <tt class="docutils literal">(uri,
localname)</tt> tuple, the qname parameter contains the raw XML 1.0 name used in
the source document, and the attrs parameter holds an instance of the
<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">AttributesNS</tt> interface (see The AttributesNS Interface)
containing the attributes of the element.  If no namespace is associated with
the element, the uri component of name will be <tt class="xref docutils literal">None</tt>.  The object passed
as attrs may be re-used by the parser; holding on to a reference to it is not
a reliable way to keep a copy of the attributes.  To keep a copy of the
attributes, use the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">copy()</tt> method of the attrs object.

Parsers may set the qname parameter to <tt class="xref docutils literal">None</tt>, unless the
<tt class="docutils literal">feature_namespace_prefixes</tt> feature is activated.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">endElementNS</tt><big>(</big>name, qname<big>)</big>¶

Signals the end of an element in namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the
<tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">startElementNS()</tt> method, likewise the qname parameter.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">characters</tt><big>(</big>content<big>)</big>¶

Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX
parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may
split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event
must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful
information.

content may be a Unicode string or a byte string; the <tt class="docutils literal">expat</tt> reader module
produces always Unicode strings.

Note

The earlier SAX 1 interface provided by the Python XML Special Interest Group
used a more Java-like interface for this method.  Since most parsers used from
Python did not take advantage of the older interface, the simpler signature was
chosen to replace it.  To convert old code to the new interface, use content
instead of slicing content with the old offset and length parameters.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">ignorableWhitespace</tt><big>(</big>whitespace<big>)</big>¶

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of ignorable
whitespace (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating
parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using
content models.

SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may
split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event
must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful
information.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">processingInstruction</tt><big>(</big>target, data<big>)</big>¶

Receive notification of a processing instruction.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found:
note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document
element.

A SAX parser should never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a
text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

<tt class="descclassname">ContentHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">skippedEntity</tt><big>(</big>name<big>)</big>¶

Receive notification of a skipped entity.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each entity skipped. Non-validating
processors may skip entities if they have not seen the declarations (because,
for example, the entity was declared in an external DTD subset). All processors
may skip external entities, depending on the values of the
<tt class="docutils literal">feature_external_ges</tt> and the <tt class="docutils literal">feature_external_pes</tt> properties.

19.12.2. DTDHandler Objects¶

<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">DTDHandler</tt> instances provide the following methods:

<tt class="descclassname">DTDHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">notationDecl</tt><big>(</big>name, publicId, systemId<big>)</big>¶

Handle a notation declaration event.

<tt class="descclassname">DTDHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">unparsedEntityDecl</tt><big>(</big>name, publicId, systemId, ndata<big>)</big>¶

Handle an unparsed entity declaration event.

19.12.3. EntityResolver Objects¶

<tt class="descclassname">EntityResolver.</tt><tt class="descname">resolveEntity</tt><big>(</big>publicId, systemId<big>)</big>¶

Resolve the system identifier of an entity and return either the system
identifier to read from as a string, or an InputSource to read from. The default
implementation returns systemId.

19.12.4. ErrorHandler Objects¶

Objects with this interface are used to receive error and warning information
from the <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">XMLReader</tt>.  If you create an object that implements this
interface, then register the object with your <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">XMLReader</tt>, the parser
will call the methods in your object to report all warnings and errors. There
are three levels of errors available: warnings, (possibly) recoverable errors,
and unrecoverable errors.  All methods take a <tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal">SAXParseException</tt> as the
only parameter.  Errors and warnings may be converted to an exception by raising
the passed-in exception object.

<tt class="descclassname">ErrorHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">error</tt><big>(</big>exception<big>)</big>¶

Called when the parser encounters a recoverable error.  If this method does not
raise an exception, parsing may continue, but further document information
should not be expected by the application.  Allowing the parser to continue may
allow additional errors to be discovered in the input document.

<tt class="descclassname">ErrorHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">fatalError</tt><big>(</big>exception<big>)</big>¶

Called when the parser encounters an error it cannot recover from; parsing is
expected to terminate when this method returns.

<tt class="descclassname">ErrorHandler.</tt><tt class="descname">warning</tt><big>(</big>exception<big>)</big>¶

Called when the parser presents minor warning information to the application.
Parsing is expected to continue when this method returns, and document
information will continue to be passed to the application. Raising an exception
in this method will cause parsing to end.

Tollywood Comedy King Allari Naresh's latest flick Intlo Deyyam Nakem Bhayam Movie at last released on December 30 as New year special treat to Telugu audience. Initially, The film is slated to release on December 11 but postponed due to Demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee note by Government. After the long gap, makers released the film on Friday.
Naresh (Allari Naresh) is member of band troupe along with his friends Shakalaka Shankar and Chammak Chandra. He loves Bhanumathi (Kruthika Jayakumar) at first sight and tries to make her fall in love. She runs a orphanage home. During the process of wooing her, he comes across a situation where a small child from her orphanage is to be operated for a hole in her heart and it requires a lot of money. Naresh pledges to get her operation done with his money and borrows it from a loan shark and it is robbed by unknown person. They get a call from rich businessman (Rajendra Prasad) whose newly bought house is haunted by a ghost to solve the problem of ghost. He agree to do that as he is in need of money. What happens after that forms the rest of the story?
Intlo Deyyam Nakem Bhayam is another one in this genre and it begins with a haunted house and followed by scenes which are meant to generate comedy but fails where hero tries to make heroine fall for him as he loved her at first sight. This half ends where Naresh owes to get the ghost out of house. It doesn't create any interest and second half can only be seen expecting some laughs as it has no story. The comedy written in the second half is pale and even Brahmanandam is not able to save this half who makes entry as a cop.
Allari Naresh: He tried his level best to evoke laughs with his mannerisms and his timing but failed miserably.
Kruthika Jayakuma: She is okay and she gets a character which we have been seeing from the era of the director Raghavendra Rao.
Shakalaka Shankar and Chammak Chandra are good and do not add much to the movie. Gemini Kiran is nice in his small role. Rajendra Prasad is nice. Chalapathi Rao, Pragathi and Sri Vidya are good. Brahmanandam as a cop fails to generate comedy. Kalakeya Prabhakar is good. Other actors are fine in their roles.
Songs composed by Sai Karthik are just okay and there is not even a single song that can be remembered after the movie. Background score is something which we are hearing in many movies and Sai Karthik has done a very bad job in this movie. Cinematography is good. Editing is mediocre and it could have been much better. Production values are rich.


After 11 games played, Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar are tied for the Kings points lead at seven each. However, Carter's six goals stand alone in the top of that category.
Both players talked about Carter's strong start to the season and the brewing competitive rivalry in an article we posted here yesterday.
CBJ at LA: Pre-game comments from Kopitar, Richards, Penner, etc.
When Kings' coach Darryl Sutter gave a major shake-up to the team's lines last weekend there were some odd pairings on paper. However, the results worked out fine, perhaps even better than expected. LA played a solid game in Detroit on Sunday and then picked up a dominating win in St. Louis on Monday.
