Looking back at it now yeah this is a good finale for a good show. But when it was airing I couldn't help but be a little dissapointed as Yuya Takahashi a week before came out and said that this will be an ending unlike any other seen in Rider and that made my mind work overtime imagining what would've what we got was good don't gete wrong. I suppose you wouldn't have that issue since your far removed from the random comments made two years ago by a writer to hype his own work. But I just wanted to share this

It's a really entertaining show that sometimes gets out over its skis with its incorporation of tricky societal issues with kids show action-adventure, but it's hard to be mad at them trying to do something weird and smart with a half-century old franchise.
I wouldn't dream of trying! You had your experience with the show, and I had mine. We can explain our perspectives to each other, but I don't think we can alter our experiences.
(It's so good, though. The Smile two-parter!!!)

I get to just engage with a show and its fans. I am aware of my good fortune!

Ok, time to write up my kinda complicated feelings for the show, which I kinda have shown already through the sporadic posts on this threat.
What did I think about Zero-One the show? Or, the four shows crudely chopped up and forced into the shape of the show Zero-One?
Because that's how the show felt as a whole. It doesn't really seem to fit together. Every arc of the show feels... detached from each other in some way. The first is fast and frantic with plots mostly wrapped up in one episode, the second is slower, more structured, and to some repetitive with two-parters, the third feels like a weird middle child that once more relies on one-offs, and the last part of the show is a continues story that hard focuses on interpersonal drama.
In short, the pacing and structure of the show are an unmitigated disaster to me. We go from fast-paced, to the slowest arc of the show, before speeding up slightly and hitting Mach 5 in the last arc.
There are just so many parts of the show that feel like they weren't approached in a "How will this feel in the greater context of the show" way. Instead, they were just important for right now, and quite frankly, it shows.
We waste a lot of time on things that really don't matter in the long run, prime example, Antsu-Chan. He's a character you could replace with Ikazuchi, and you'd probably improve the show since Raiden was severely underdeveloped in the show. And there are many points in the show like that. Another one being Vulcan getting an extension of his arc with his fake memories that really doesn't go anywhere and kinda robs him of a satisfying conclusion
So much of the MetsubouJinrai stuff in the first two-thirds of the show felt thin and unconvincing, compared to the depth and nuance of the average Humagear storyline.
My favorite run of the show was the Job War arc, easy. It?s the smartest set of episodes in an already smart show. The switch from pointless MetsubouJinrai punch-em-ups to the individually-motivated Raiders and Humagears turned each week?s storyline into a tense showcase for societal integration and economic anxiety. The fights mattered, all of a sudden. The conflicts helped explore a society that advanced as quickly as it could without figuring out where exactly it was going. They leapt towards a dream, but didn?t know how to land safely. I loved that version of this show.
It?s also the version that seemed to irritate almost everyone else, which maybe gets to my point about how effectively this show served both its themes and its genre. It?s hard to be a superhero fantasy that celebrates physical action AND a cerebral investigation into how societies codify intolerance into economic systems. Like, there?s some overlaps there, and this show was very clever about finding them, but too often it was one or the other. At worst, it was one or the other in the same episode.
Very much agree. I love the Competition arc for its solid two-parters, nice character development, and a threat that actually feels tangible.
Still, I feel it'd serve as a better arc one, with some obvious changes.
In short, the show feels like its less than the sum of its parts for me.
Aruto just doesn't leave enough of an impact for me in the long run, same with most of the cast. They feel far too passive for far too long, and it's honestly frustrating. The cast isn't terrible, but they are something arguably worse for me, forgettable.
And my biggest gripe with the show, the final arc and what it's about: A forced conflict that feels mostly detached from the themes of the show between two characters that are just dull to me.
And now it's time to unstick the things I wanted to talk about later:
Because horrible people don?t come from nowhere, and that?s worth acknowledging. Gai?s a terrible human being, but there were things from his past that made this terrible outcome feel right to him. It's everything this show's been talking about with intolerance and hatred, how they have a root cause rather than an innate presence. This isn?t an episode about forgiving Gai; this is an episode about understanding him, and maybe seeing if there?s anything to be salvaged.
This is actually one of my biggest gripes with Horrobi as an antagonist. Horobi didn't come from his own experiences, he was always just a hate puppet for the arc, which kinda made him incredibly dull as a character. His hatred wasn't his own until Jin's second death. Which quite honestly feels incredibly lazy and as if they writers cared more about the gaol than how they'd get there.
He honestly reminds me of a certain One Piece character; One Piece spoilers incoming: His entire stick was racism. He hated humans to an insane degree, and eventually, a character in the story asks him why. Why does he hate humans so much? His answer was simply "Nothing." There was nothing to his hate, it was simply learned. It wonderfully shows how hate spreads through generations and will poisen innocent people, turning them into monsters.
This shows things like this can work, Zero-One just kinda... doesn't know what to do with the fact Horobi has no personal stake in this and manufacturers a reason for his hatred.
And now the second thing:
The problem this time is that it's weirdly more about Aruto and Horobi, two characters who don't really know each other at all
And here is my second gripe: Horobi and Aruto, for all the parallels they pull between them, really have no business being each other's greatest nemesis. They don't really have any personal grievances that tie them together in the end. It makes this fight even more manufactured, especially when suddenly it's a fight that will decide Human and Humagear relations, which just feel... Why? Why would this have any big impact? I don't buy it.
So, yeah, I feel this is the final to a show I haven't watched. Because I don't see the proper build-up and tie-in into some of the major themes of the show.
Oh boy... This ended up more chaotic than I had hoped for, but I do feel it's kinda on brand for the show
In the end, Zero-One left a sour taste in my mouth and is currently 3rd least favorite Rider show, but it'll very, very likely get a bump to 4th very soon with the end of Revice.
I am however glad you found enjoyment in the show!

Since this thread is going on hiatus (just like the show did), I guess I'll give a few brief concluding thoughts on my experience with the first entry in Reiwa Rider.
Befitting its name, Zero One is a show that constantly flips between 0 and 1, lame and cool, smart and dumb. But that's what I can always count on, that even if I find a part I dislike, the part that succeeds it will succeed in turning me around. Episode 29 is an awesome end to an infuriating arc. Episode 38 is a tearful start of a redemption of a character for whom I never thought I'd shed tears.
One of the show's major themes is starting from zero and moving to one, a theme that was probably never more relevant than the apocalyptic year that was 2020. The present was full of perpetual despair, the future seemed like it would never come. And yet, the future came. I think that's the moral of Zero One, that even if the future is invisible, the power of hope and dreams will create the future.
I intend to post my Reiwa Rider Ranking next week in the thread for Revice's finale, but to compare Zero One with pre-Reiwa, I did enjoy it more than Zi-O and EX-Aid. Now I'm excited to see how Takebe will bring out the untapped potential in Takahashi's talent, as Reiwa enters its fourth season.
One of the most amazing things about the Kamen Rider franchise is that it can be about literally anything.
It's not KR exclusive. It should apply on many franchises that has each work as a standalone (instead of a constant sequel to previous ones).
When you?re telling a story that?s condemning violence as the solution to problems, or that?s digging into topics like how capitalism puts the working class at each other?s throats, it?s hard to do that within the context of a superhero show designed to sell toys to Japanese children. The elements of this show that are required by its genre ? the costumes and transformations and monsters and detonations ? frequently felt like impositions, especially in the first half of the show. Too many meditations on how therapeutic technology should be before it becomes a crutch ended up veering into pointless battles. So much of the MetsubouJinrai stuff in the first two-thirds of the show felt thin and unconvincing, compared to the depth and nuance of the average Humagear storyline.
The MetsubouJinrai.net stuff, yeah, they too are Humagears, who also got character exploration similar to those average Humagear storylines (YMMV though), got their turns at later part of the series. Jin at ep. 25 (his first revival), Ark at ep. 36 (the part of him starting to act on his own), and Horobi at ep. 41 (when he breaks off Ark's influence, albeit retains his genocidal view and prejudice).
For all the talk about Fish having unpopular opinion, you too can have fair share of it... including right here about the competition arc. At least in most of the fanbase it's divisive to the point that producer Omori in a producer roundtable discussion on the TTFC admits it's critically divisive. Though you do finally tolerate the final a̶r̶k̶ arc due to its good middle execution despite idiotic start, perhaps you'd like this more due to being even deeper in the themes it explored here? As here too, there are idiotic parts that kickstarted this arc, such as how Gai could've bought out Hiden and held the contest entirely on his own terms, not giving Aruto slightest chance to stop him, Aruto going along with the contest without making an effort to expose him despite Gai's cheating ways, and Fuwa gloats about the evidence about ZAIA's wrongdoings in front of Gai.
I think this show was attentive to every character, which is a huge ask for a cast this large. Every Rider got an arc, and most supporting cast members got some growth over the course of the year. No one was a throwaway character, that I can remember. The problem is more that the show didn?t utilize everyone continuously, in regrettably obvious ways.
Aruto's a character that some audiences can feel overshadowed by other casts (often happened too for main character vs side characters - more like major characters that aren't main protagonists), especially by Fuwa here. But ironically this is a talk about how Fuwa's one of the characters that only got their spare of character focus in the series. I guess, keeping continuous focus to characters aren't necessary to be done, and what matters is the consistent quality of the characters. Quality over quantity, and Fuwa fulfills that for some people? Characters that have continuous focus are sometimes criticized as taking up too much screen time instead, and main characters aren't free from that (it can be actually the reason to prefer "side" characters over them).
I think Zero-One was a strong way to kick off the Reiwa era of Kamen Rider.

Yeah, Zero-One, if nothing else, felt like it always wanted to make a stamenent on something big. It sometimes wasn't quite sure what that statement was, or how best to convey it through the medium of "Man in suit beats up other man in suit", but it tried. And I think, on the whole, it did a pretty good job. The action side was stylish, the plot side mostly holds up, and for our big first-food forwards after the look back that was Zi-O, it holds its own.

We waste a lot of time on things that really don't matter in the long run, prime example, Antsu-Chan. He's a character you could replace with Ikazuchi, and you'd probably improve the show since Raiden was severely underdeveloped in the show.
I don't know, I think Assassin-chan works as an early exploration of both the life-cycle of Humagear Singularity, and also a deeper dive on MetsubouJinrai's lack of concern for Humagears. You can really only do that with a character you're not going to see again.
THis definitely doesn't touch Ex-Aid for me - I can't imagine anything ever will - but this versus Zi-O? Man, I don't know. Probably Zi-O for me, I think. The plot of Zero-One makes a ton more sense, the villains are equally lame, but the cast of Zi-O is just so much more fun to think about. There's a warmth to that show, and all of the Sougo/Geiz stuff, that this show never comes close to matching, nor does it try to. This show's cast is more Wartime Allies, instead of Zi-O's thing of Brothers Forged In Battle. Not an absolute blowout, but I think I like Zi-O a little better.
The Fuwa thing's incredibly stupid, but I honestly think the impetus for the Job War arc is perfectly acceptable. Gai's all about publicly embarrassing Aruto. He doesn't just want to buy Hiden and fire Aruto, he wants to beat Aruto so badly that Aruto surrenders rather than continue fighting for Hiden Intelligence. Which he does! It's a good plan.

I don't even disagree. I actually really like Antsu-Chan, in a vacuum. His arc is solid, he is fun to watch grow, and he probably was the most well-developed cast member of the first arc. My gripes only show up when you look at him from the perspective of the whole show. I can't but feel like the time spent with him could have been used on characters who were struggling for screen time and the like.
Less than the sum of its parts, like I said.
DreamSword
Some guy. I'm alright.
Was gonna wait until after REALxTIME to give my full thoughts, but screw it, here they are.
I ended up digging Zero-One a whole lot.
Before going in, I knew the chances were high that I would, as it had alot of elements that I'm very much a sucker for: Robot characters especially.
And needless to say, I know my own tastes because right from the outset, Zero-One managed to emotionally resonate with me in so many ways. From the action, to the comedy, to the drama, to most of the characters, I was all in.
Was it perfect? No, there were certainly many things I could say didn't work out for me(and I think I even voiced all of them throughout this thread), but really, I consider all of those things relatively minor in the grand scheme of it all. This show managed to give me the same sort of feelings I had with other seasons I love.
It all just came together so well! The characters were engaging, the plot talked about surprisingly real subject matter, and to me it always felt like everyone involved in the project were giving it their all at every moment to make something special, and I'd say they succeeded. The proof, I feel, is actually in what might be the worst thing to happen during the run: COVID.
I say "might" because, well, despite the obviously awful setback of, ya know, a global pandemic, it was clear to me that staff were doing all they could to still try and deliver something strong. The recap specials had some strong comedy and half of them still tied into the overall story, and the final few episodes, despite apparently being made up on the spot, still totally worked for me in terms of not only delivering on the major themes of the story, but some of the best character moments as well.
From what I understand, Zero-One is a show that is very polarizing among the western fandom for alot of reasons, but for me? I loved almost every second of it; Even certain episodes and/or character arcs that alot of people take contention with. If there's one thing that every era of Kamen Rider has managed to do, it's start off on some extremely strong footing. Here's to hoping the upcoming tie-in comic can capture even a fraction of what made this show so good.

Motorola's Droid 4 is probably at the top of your list if you're a keyboard fan. It's big and bulky, but in a sturdy sort of way, and the five-row keyboard is top-notch.
Verizon's 4G LTE network is the other star of the show, offering blazing speeds that put 3G phones to shame. It's hard not to be floored by download speeds above 20Mbps
The Droid 4 is still stuck on Gingerbread, and there's no word on when the upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich is coming.
And while we found the four-inch qHD screen was plenty big and the qHD resolution was favorable, it's hard to see in sunlight, and not as sharp as we'd like.
The non-removable battery is a major flaw, and even with moderate use you'll need to top-off to make it through an entire workday.
Having 20+ Mbps downloads is still mind-boggling, even after all this time. And with the Droid 4's awesome edge-lit keyboard, it's easy to navigate the internet, whether it's dark or light.
The Droid 4 also has an impressive build quality, and includes a water-resistant coating, and we kept thinking we were getting a lot of phone for $199.
If physical keyboards are your thing, and you're in the market for an LTE handset, the Droid 4 is aimed squarely at you.
Put simply, the keyboard rocks, and it's enough to make a diehard virtual keyboard user question his beliefs. Add in the blazing-fast speeds of Verizon's 4G LTE network, and you have a winner.
But the Droid 4 isn't without its drawbacks. It's stuck on the ever-staling Gingerbread for now, with no clear indication of when the jump to Ice Cream Sandwich will come.
Both the screen and the camera feel a bit dull, and the non-removable battery is a misstep on Motorola's part, especially since heavy usage quickly tax the phone's power reserves.
But, if you can look past its weaknesses, you'll have an incredible phone at an incredible price.

Beyond the Boundary (Kyoukai no Kanata)
Akihito Kanbara is a high school sophomore in the literature club who believes himself to be a "Meganest", and although he appears to be human, he is actually half Yōmu, which makes him invulnerable to wounds, due to the fact that he can heal so quickly, and also immortal. One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it appears as if she is about to attempt suicide by jumping off of the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is considered heresy even among other members of the underworld, so she is shunned. Soon after Akihito saves Mirai, disturbing events begin to arise.
In the near future, Tokyo was left flattened as a result from a great earthquake. A new city, MegaTokyo, was then recreated due in no small part from the aid of a multi-million dollar company, Genom Corp.

Many CEOs see Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as a key component to gaining competitive advance in their respective marketplaces. A 2017 survey of Fortune 500 CEO's found that 81% of the respondents listed AI/Machine Learning as a "critical area of investment", ranking just behind Cloud and Mobile Computing (91% and 86% respectively).
Yet, with all the hype surrounding AI and machine learning, projects remain in the science labs with few companies using it effectively. Another recent report by MIT Sloan – Reshaping Business with Artificial Intelligence – showed that while 85% of 3,000 business leaders surveyed believed AI would enable competitive advantage, it remains a missed opportunity with only 20% of the respondents actually taking advantage of it.
No amount of algorithmic sophistication will overcome a lack of data.
Data collection and preparation are typically the most time-consuming activities in developing an AI-based application, much more so than selecting and tuning a model.
Companies sometimes erroneously believe that they already have access to the data they need to exploit AI.
Even if the organization owns the data it needs, fragmentation across multiple systems can hinder the process of training AI algorithms.
An integrated data science, data engineering and app building platform designed to help companies uncover previously unobtainable insights from their data and make richer data-driven decisions.
Cloud Private for Data runs on Kubernetes open-source container software, enabling it to be deployed in minutes for dramatically faster time to value. A microservices architecture supports all aspects of managing data, creating insightful analytics, and deploying these analytics to the business.
The Cloud Private Data solution includes key capabilities from IBM's Data Science Experience, Information Analyzer, Information Governance Catalogue, Data Stage, Db2 and Db2 Warehouse, integrated into a cohesive platform to streamline analytic cycles. The solution lets Cloud Private for Data clients quickly discover insights from their core business data, while keeping that data in a protected, controlled environment.
IBM has partnered with Datameer to be the data pipelining platform for Cloud Private Data Solution, providing comprehensive data preparation, exploration and pipeline operationalization capabilities for the platform. Datameer will be an integrated part of the solution, offering a seamless customer and user experience to streamline the use of data preparation within the platform.
two of the biggest challenges for data scientists is cleansing and shaping data, and operationalizing their insights to deliver value to business. The direction IBM is headed with IBM Cloud Private for Data is aligned with Datameer's strategy and will enable companies to more quickly prepare data for machine learning and AI projects and operationalize these across their organizations.
As with analytics in general, AI and data science projects are often bogged down in the process of preparing the data for intelligence models. As often cited, 80% of an analyst or data scientist's time is spent on preparing and shaping the data for analysis and analytic modeling.
In addition, as cited on one of my recent blogs on the Five Rules of Data Exploration, data science teams need to add diversity to their data by blending more sources, and go through a painstaking process of data exploration and feature engineering to ensure the right data is being used and to eliminate potential bias in the results. Without the right tools, this can even further elongate already lengthy cycles.
Let's look at each of these in detail, and how Datameer works with IBM Cloud Private for Data to lower these barriers.
The goal of data preparation for data science driven analytics is to dramatically reduce that 80% of a data scientist's time spent on preparing and shaping the data. This can dramatically shorten the analytic cycles and gain tremendous time to value benefits.
The tremendous volumes of data used in data science projects can be extremely taxing on system, storage, and network resources. Using a cobbled together architecture with multiple dis-integrated tools further taxes valuable resources by copying and moving data between components.
The integration of Datameer with IBM Cloud Private for Data enables your data pipelines to follow data gravity and process data without copying or duplication. Datameer provides data links, schema-on-read, and comprehensive data retention policies that process data efficiently to produce the final, analytics-ready results. The integration with the data management and object store services within IBM Cloud Private for Data further reduces resource-wasting data copying and movement.
More and more, AI-enriched analytic pipelines are used to feed models at the core of understanding operations, risk and customer behavior. These processes can often require regulatory compliance to prove how risk is understood and calculated (BCBS 239, etc.), show effective detection of financial crimes (AML, etc.) or protect consumer data and rights (EU GDPR, etc.). The consequences of poor governance are high, with extensive fines being levied.
Datameer integrates with the security controls and mechanisms of IBM Cloud Private Data Solution for comprehensive, end-to-end security. It also integrates with the IBM Infosphere Governance Catalog for complete artifact cataloging, usage auditing, and lineage tracking.
The combination of Datameer and IBM enable fully secure, AI-enriched pipelines, full governance of the use of data and analytics, and the ability to easily track how the data and models are used for compliance auditing and reporting.
I highlighted earlier the need to follow data gravity for AI data pipelines. The same rationale holds true for operationalizing your data pipelines. To deliver the scale needed for AI data pipelines, the platform requires a powerful execution framework and automation tools.
Datameer also provides flexible job automation and scheduling tools to run jobs to generate fresh new results, and auditing services that track how the jobs are run and how the data is used. This enables data pipelines that continuously feed to downstream processes and people that consume the AI-enriched insights while maintaining full governance and control.
With AI being the true game-changer business teams believe it can be, removing the barriers to adoption are the key to experiencing faster business value from AI. A comprehensive integrated platform that brings together best of breed components for the entire data and analytic lifecycle, eliminates many of the critical barriers to success. IBM Cloud Private for Data, with Datameer an integral piece, delivers the platform you need to streamline your data and analytic processes for AI.

Pilot Scoop: ABC Orders Revenge-Esque Drama Betrayal, New Soap Venice and 2 Others
By Michael Ausiello / January 22 2013, 7:32 PM PST
ABC has jumped into the Tuesday-night pilot frenzy, ordering four new projects including an hour drama from ER's David Zabel and a half-hour comedy exec-produced by Office scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, TVLine has learned.
The Zabel project, Betrayal, centers on a beautiful but unhappily married female photographer who begins a torrid affair with a lawyer for a powerful family. When he turns out to be defending a murder suspect who is being prosecuted by her husband, the relationship and the case begin a spiraling series of betrayals with cataclysmic results for everyone involved.
Eisenberg and Stupnitsky's prospective sitcom, Pulling, follows three dysfunctional women in their 30s living their lives the way they want, even if society tells them they should have it all figured out by this point.
Other ABC pilots receiving production orders Tuesday…
* The Returned, a drama from The Killing's Aaron Zelman, asks the provocative question, "What happens when the people you have mourned and buried suddenly appear on your doorstep as if not a day's gone by? The lives of the people of Aurora are forever changed when their deceased loved ones return."
* Venice, a Romeo and Juliet-esque soap written by Without a Trace's Byron Balasco, focuses on two rival families living in "California's most seductive 'city'" and the forbidden and dangerous romance that emerges between them.

Where Social Justice Meets Mental Health: How Does Caste Matter?
Mariwala Health Initiative
Posted by Deepa Pawar for Mariwala Health Initiative
Working with communities for collective mental health
I believe deeply in the idea that "The personal is political", and shall therefore begin with a personal story. In 2003, after many difficult struggles, I passed my 12th Std exams with a First in Commerce – without any coaching, mentoring, or extra study materials. This was while living in a 10×10 ft room with eight other family members, and helping my father in his blacksmith's workshop. They didn't understand what these Board exams meant, or the importance of doing well in them. It was only when neighbors started dropping in, and saying I had stood second in my college, that my family realized I had achieved something.
I hardly had time to congratulate myself, either, being worried about being able to continue with my studies with no money at home for that sort of thing. And my fears were fulfilled: my higher education ended for the want of 3,000 rupees. For almost a year, I held myself responsible, and would not look my friends and teachers in the eye. I lived with mental stress that was wholly internalized, never made visible; certainly, I had no access to any mental health resources. It was an unbearably painful period. I had demonstrated capability, aspirations, the will and readiness to work hard. Why had my journey then come to a halt?
Had I had counseling at that point, I would probably have been diagnosed with extreme nervousness or mild depression. But counseling was never an option, coming as I did from a nomadic, displaced tribal community and family for which social identity, security, and development remain faraway dreams. It is a community marked by addiction, unemployment, insecurity, illiteracy, and mental stresses related to all these factors. It was only later, when I entered the social development field, and built up my own understanding of caste, gender, and religious patriarchy, that I realized I was not personally responsible for my situation.
It was only later, when I entered the social development field, and built up my own understanding of caste, gender, and religious patriarchy, that I realized I was not personally responsible for my situation.
Social Hierarchies and Collective Expectations
Social structures and systems create an environment where an entire community or society has "collective expectations" from a single person or group – for instance, a newlywed woman constantly being asked when she will be sharing the "good news" (pregnancy). Perhaps she maintains her mental balance for the first few months, but how long can she deal with the mounting pressure? Another example is that of the child who, growing up like every other, begins to realize she feels like a girl while everyone else believes her to be a boy. Will social expectations allow her to be herself? And if the child belongs to a vulnerable community, she is likely to face further violence.
When someone is unable to live up to society's collective expectations, it is common practice to isolate, excommunicate, denigrate them, or coerce them into meeting expectations – measures bound to affect their mental health negatively. Besides, when an individual's mental health is affected, their family and community are not immune either. Collective social expectations, no matter if they stifle a person's dignity, expression, participation, and development, follow a political design that ensures there is no danger to the existing Brahmanical patriarchy.
The suicide of Dr Payal Tadvi is a recent example: a Bhil Muslim Adivasi, she had overcome complex social barriers to become a medical doctor. Her colleagues at a Mumbai hospital, other doctors who had bought into the vicious caste rules that expect doctors to come only from certain powerful social strata, allegedly harassed Dr Tadvi till she took her own life. Viewing this incident through the lens of mental health, we may see how the doctors and the system that enabled such behavior violated Dr Tadvi's right to both dignity and mental justice; cast her family into a situation of acute mental stress; and sent a clear message to the entire Bhil Muslim community – that anyone else trying to overcome caste barriers would be similarly treated – a threat with undeniable implications for collective mental health.
Also read: Why Is The Mental Health Of Persons With Disabilities Overlooked?
Many other situations playing out currently are affecting the mental health of entire communities: the heart-rending incidents of "mob lynching" of Muslims; extreme sexual violence against Dalits everyday discriminations based on caste, gender, religion, region, sexuality, and disability. Existing mental health services do not even begin to meet the growing need. The "treatment gap" approach, besides being biomedical, focuses on the individual rather than addressing the trauma and exclusion collectively experienced by communities.
It is necessary to link individual mental health to family and community. Our social and political systems must center the mental health of marginalized communities in ways informed by concepts of social justice and dignity. Our educational institutions, too, need to be part of a multi-sectoral plan to educate and empower youth and marginalized communities for better collective mental health.
Constitutional Morality
As in other law-based movements (the campaigns around the Domestic Violence Act 2005, or the Right to Education Act 2009, etc.), there is an acute need in the mental health movements for grassroots platforms, resources and leadership that facilitate community voices and articulations about collective mental health justice needs. India already has the progressive and inclusive Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 (MHCA 2017), which all social institutions must engage with, and implement.
Also read: Who Can Vote? Accessibility For Persons With Psychosocial Disabilities
This, along with adhering to the Indian Constitution's values and Preamble, would help ameliorate situations where mental health is affected by disturbances in the social fabric. As Article 15 of the Constitution says, "No citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them, be subject to any disability, liability, restriction or condition." In other words, every person has the fundamental right to dignity, respect, development, and participation, which seems like a basic formula for mental health and social justice.

ReFrame is a journal that challenges existing norms and explores diverse voices within the mental health space. This year, the theme for ReFrame is 'Bridge the Care Gap' and through a compilation of articles of lived-experiences, from marginalised voices and based on alternative constructs to the Western-centric, bio-medical supply-demand equation of mental health care—we aim to we frame a comprehensive approach to mental health and social care needs that can be used to design interventions, services, support and advocacy.

Here's How Advertisements Break And Redefine Gender Stereotypes
Gender January 21, 2015


What should a person know?
They all contain the sound of n+o or its mutated echo. Each suggests the idea of acquisition, the filling of a space in the brain or the body. An encounter with a bit of information, an awareness, or—if we are lucky—with another person.
I love this about words: the ways they multiply and divide, their particular cellularity. Each of these words contains within it the same single cell: the PIE root *gno-.
I think of the Gnostics, the early Christians full of spiritual knowledge. I think of the power of information, what comes with knowing something and the choice to share—or not share—what you know. I think of the difference between knowledge and belief and wonder if it is real.
I think about the things I am compelled to know. Right now: pizza. I want to know dough. To be acquainted with semolinas and yeasts, and the temperature fluctuations of my oven. I want to acknowledge our stories, why we tell them, what they offer. I want to notice what makes a sentence ache to be spoken aloud by its reader.
When I think of the things I do not want to know, the list is longer. I realize that I am an agnostic at heart, against gnosis, attracted to the unknown, the not knowing. Lately, I just want to settle in there, to inhabit that comfortable, ambiguous space. I tell my students that I am more interested in their questions than their answers. Those budding engineers and scientists are confounded by a teacher who says, "Don't write a thesis. Your job is not to prove something." Their hard stares suggest they do not like me for this.
Not knowing reminds me of the name of Shelia Heti's new novel: How Should a Person Be? It's on my reading list for the title alone. I like a good, hard question.
"To know – and to present what we know as if it's all we need to know – is deadening, really," Dinah Lenney says about writing essays in "Against Knowing." I wonder, is knowing itself sometimes deadening?
I have written before about love and knowing but I still keep coming back to this relationship. I think of myself at twenty, of how desperately I wanted to be known, to be loved. It seemed the one equaled the other.
Lately, I am cognizant of my desire to get married, to start a family. And also of another, stronger desire: to hold tightly to the things that I believe define me. Habits, friendships, the places I go, the things I love. I keep them close. I use them to measure potential partners yet I am reluctant, somehow, to share them. I think of my friends who are growing new humans in their abdomens, of the literal stretching, the very tangible action of accommodating another person. That willingness I once had to be pliant, to merge—I can't quite summon it.
I feel guilty when I hit on this resistance. How can I ask someone to be knowable when I am not doing the required work in turn? It feels selfish. I wonder who or what I might need to become, what I might be required to sacrifice to fit into another person's life. I am afraid, I guess. I am mistrustful of love. What I do know is that this kind of fear usually shows. And the impulse to try and cover it up is somehow dishonest.
I thought of lancing blisters on his feet, cutting stitches from his chin. I though of how, after my bike accident, he'd applied Neosporin to the gashes on my hip and thigh and ankle, saying, "You can still see the bone on this one." For two weeks he carried me up and down the stairs whenever I had to pee in the middle of the night. If anything, I wanted to see his bones, the ballooning of his lungs, the red world beneath his skin. It bothered me, how much we couldn't know about each other.
Today I think about the few weeks in which I knew, really knew, I wanted to spend my life with him. And of how quickly that knowledge evaporated.
Correcting for income, education, age, race, family situation and religion, the happiest Americans are those who say they are either "extremely conservative" (48 percent very happy) or "extremely liberal" (35 percent). Everyone else is less happy, with the nadir at dead-center "moderate" (26 percent).
The author presents this research as if it is surprising, but it seems obvious to me: the more you believe you know, the more sure you are of your decisions and your place in the world. Unhappiness tends to lie with rumination, with doubt.
I told my sister that knowing is overrated. I thought about telling her that knowing is deadening. But really, I just want her to be happy. And her happiness cannot possibly be overrated. I can't think of much I want more. I want her to move through the world with certainty. And knowledge.

Such an interesting post, reminds of some of the stuff I've been thinking about lately. Knowledge seems to me, to be the like the size of space – the minute you think you've reached the center of it all, it expands in all directions.
This is a theme that is coming up for me a lot these days, although I see that I'm 3 years late to this particular conversation lol. I think that there is certainty in uncertainty. The more that I live the more evidence of the unstable and ambiguous nature of form I see and experience all around me: Things come and go, life comes and goes, thoughts, feelings, ideas, knowledge… everything changes including what we think we know. We tend to strive for certainty because it makes us feel better by allowing for the illusion that what is unstable is actually stable… It won't change, I won't change, I am safe. But I find the more room that I make for uncertainty the happier I am, I can trust uncertainty because we live in an uncertain world and there is ample proof of that all around. The trust comes from my own sane recognition of what's in front of me (and what's not in front of me), and my acceptance and ability to roll with it. Acknowledging that it is not possible to really know something fully does not diminish what it is but rather honours it more completely.

We made a genremix tower-defense x fishing.
Very fun once you get into it, having to manage fishing and tower defense at the same time is good fun and engaging, pretty hectic too!
Although I do agree with others saying that a smoother difficulty curve would be nice. Also, I was having issues catching fish consistently (maybe my timing is just a bit off). Having different sounds for successfully/unsuccessfully catching a fish would be good too.
Thank you very much for playing. There is a sound for the fish getting away or getting caught, but it might be to quit for some systems. It's planed to add sound options.
Thank you very much for playing and your feedback.
Very cool idea! Took me quite a while to familiarize myself with the towers and how to successfully beat a wave. Maybe if you could pause between waves or even just have a little more time between to set yourself and place some towers? Other than that, I love the concept and it's quite a lot of fun.
Also, thanks for playing my game, and for your feedback. Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for playing and your feedback. The pressure with the waves is part of our gameplay, but I agree that you should have more time for the first wave.
Wow, thank you so much for playing and your awesome feedback!
We really need to work on a tutorial for this game. I never thought that so many people would have an issue with it. But that's why you test your game early. I'm not sure, if a set order will fix the issue, but I understand why it might help.
It's nice to hear that you also like the visuals and music, because we did everything alone (kinda extreme for a first game).
We plan to continue working on the game, but after the rating is over and when we have more time.
It is too crazy to do the tower defense and fishing at the same time... Nice interpretation on the theme.
Thank you for playing and your feedback even though I'm not sure, if too crazy is a good or bad thing.
I kept dying at first and had a blast laughing at the confusion. Once I got the hang of it, it felt great managing resource and killing enemy!
I survived all waves but the game didn't end.
Thank you for playing and good job on beating the game!
Yes, there is currently a bug with beating the game. When you die in any level the game doesn't trigger the end for that level. I'm not sure why it happens, but that's the first thing we try to fix.
One player of my game said that it crashed after they shot at the enemy. I tried to break it so many times and it didn't happen. Now I am pulling my hair trying to figure out what the specific steps I need to follow to break my game so that I can fix it!
It felt a bit too difficult, but I liked the graphics and gameplay.
Thank you for playing and your feedback.
I agree with the fishing. A chance of 50% / 70% doesn't really feel like 50% / 70%.
It is possible to beat each of the 3 levels, but I think we should have added some kind of tutorial levels. So you get used to the towers / mechanics.
My tip for beating the levels is to place the towers far away from each other and use Tower03, because the AoE is overpowered.
Thank you very much for playing and your awesome feedback! That really motivates us to continue creating games / upgrade this game after rating is over.
I'll definitely play your game.
Pretty fun game! Greatly promotes multitasking, although it's a bit hard to understand at first. I feel the intro letter was completely unnecesary to the game. Once I got the hang of it I did have some good fun managing towers and getting fish to build them, although I feel the fishing mechanic could've been improved, something like requiring to press the fish key right when the fish shows up in a dark blue spot.
It'd be awesome if you could also try our game!
Some people said that the multitasking is hard, but it's nice to hear that everyone seems to learn it fast.
Our earlier version had your idea of fishing, but it felt more like a task and not like gameplay.
I saw your posts on twitter for the game and I definitely will play it.
Divading attention by playing two diffrent games to improve both of them is grate. I got a blast and ton of laugh. Love it!
Thank you so much for playing. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed it.
And you are right it can be difficult to play two games at once, but sounds like you improved your skills.
The combination of the two makes me laugh a lot, I really love it. I wish that the towers were more visually distinct based on what they did, and that their stats would display a lot faster (or even all the time). But the idea of doing something else to generate the resources used in a tower defense game is a really great one!
Thank you so much for playing and the feedback. I hope you enjoyed it.
Yeah, the towers are kinda abstract and are not really finished (Tower01 - 04, great names...).

The UL PV wire products use a cross-linked polyethylene insulation and PVC jacket.
Solar cables, in sizes from 18 AWG to 12 AWG and conductor counts from three to nine, are available shielded or unshielded. The TC-ER- and MTW-rated cables feature a tough, abrasion-resistant jacket to provide robust performance for years.
Both the PV wire and solar cable are designed for solar environments — they are sunlight and oil resistant, and withstand temperatures as low as -40°C and high as +90°C. In addition, the solar cables meet requirements for direct burial without conduit.


According to the new research report "Low GWP Refrigerants Market by Type (Inorganics, Hydrocarbons, Fluorocarbons), Application (Commercial Refrigeration, Industrial Refrigeration, Domestic Refrigeration), and Region (Asia Pacific, Europe, North America) - Global Forecast to 2023", published by MarketsandMarkets™, the Low GWP Refrigerants Market is expected to grow from USD 16.5 billion in 2018 to USD 28.7 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.7% during the forecast period. The major factors driving the Low GWP Refrigerants Market are the low environmental impact of low GWP refrigerants, phasing out of CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, and the increasing demand for refrigerants and air conditioners across the globe.
Browse in-depth TOC on "Low GWP Refrigerants Market"
The Low GWP Refrigerants Market has been segmented on the basis of type into 3 categories, inorganics, hydrocarbons, and fluorocarbons. Among these types, hydrocarbons is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the Low GWP Refrigerants Market during the forecast period. Hydrocarbons have excellent thermodynamic properties and refrigerating and air-conditioning systems operating using these substances are highly energy-efficient. Hydrocarbons are miscible with conventional refrigerating oils and have a relatively high critical temperature. Hydrocarbons are flammable in nature and can be explosive as well; this is a major safety concern associated with the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants and requires hermetically sealed systems with explosion protection for electric components.
Various measures have been taken by the governments of countries in Europe for energy conservation and dumping of low GWP refrigerants into landfills and ponds, resulting in increasing use of low GWP refrigerants and driving its demand in the region.
Major vendors in the Low GWP Refrigerants Market include Linde Group (Germany), Honeywell (US), Sinochem Group (China), Airgas Inc. (US), Engas Australasia (Australia), A-Gas (UK), and Puyang Zhongwei Fine Chemical (China).


The Best Books on Raising Urban Chickens - a "Best Book List"
Thinking of going a little greener and keeping a couple chickens in your own backyard for their delicious eggs, their weed- and bug-eating prowess and their rich fertilizer-making skills? Here's the list of books that'll get you headed in the right direction.
Like home-grown vegetables, home-raised chickens put us in touch with our rural past, give us a sense of self-sufficiency, and provide food — eggs! — for the table that's a lot tastier than anything we could find at the supermarket. And chickens are fun! Like dogs, they bond with their owners, and like kids, they do the darnedest things. Kilarski regales the reader with tales spotlighting the joys of raising chickens, while at the same time explaining the nitty-gritty details of how to be a successful chicken keeper.
As they learned to raise chickens, Gail and Rick Luttmann came to realize the need for a comprehensive but clear and nontechnical guide. Their book covers all the basics in a light and entertaining sytle, from housing and feeding through incubating, bringing up chicks, butchering, and raising chickens for show.
Like Storey's Guide, this isn't explicitly about backyard chickens, but you'll get all the information you need to understand how to choose, order and raise chicks (if you choose to go this route).
The title's a bit misleading, but it's still chock full of ideas for coops for your chooks. Use this book as inspiration for building your own coop, not for plans with a step-by-step guide to building the coop.
"Wonderful style, up to date and practical advice on all aspects of small flocks. Definitely my favorite introductory book on chickens. Plus, beautiful photos, a great list of further reading, and a forward from the American Poultry Association."
"A solid book, especially for people who might be interested in breeding. Unlike Rossier's book, it's got a lot of interesting history and breed info, but it also covers the basics well. This is the best alternative to the Storey's book on your list, since it works for larger flocks without leaving backyarders in the dust."
"British, but still a delightful introductory book for backyard keepers."
Not explicitly about backyard chickens, but the knowledge easily transfers from the larger-scale operation to your small flock via in-depth expert advice on selecting breeds, caring for chicks, producing eggs, raising broilers, feeding, troubleshooting, and much more.
I'm a husband, father and urban chicken farmer living in Redwood City, CA (half way between San Francisco and San Jose). We started keeping a couple chickens in our back yard in 2007 and have been chronicling our adventures on urbanchickens.net.

Lulu group has opened the latest and newest addition to its Mall list in UAE. Lulu Group has opened the new mall at the Fujairah, UAE. Even though Mall is very common in UAE but the new mall is special for Fujairah. Lulu has planned for adding more malls in United Arab Emirates, however the attempt got bit slower in recent days and with new mall at Fujairah, it has started the proceedings.
Lulu group opened its newest mall in the Northern Emirates of UAE on Thursday. Lulu Mall, Fujairah was inaugurated by Shaikh Mohammad bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah in the presence of royal family members, Govt. dignitaries, Yusuff Ali MA, Managing Director of LULU Group, Saifee T Rupawala, CEO, Ashraf Ali MA, Executive Director, Salim MA, Director of LULU and Raja Abdul Qadar, Director of Line Investments which manages the mall and other top officials also attended the inauguration, and representatives from the local business community, the company stated.

Lulu mall is spread across 550,000 sq. ft in two levels. Apart from the presence of the LULU Hypermarket, the new mall features more than 100 local and international brands of fashion, leisure, food & dining and entertainment centres.
Built on a huge area and with many more other centres, Lulu Hypermarket would surely be very popular in Fujairah.

Q: Unable to read data from rs232 port using java I have an application that enables me to connect my laptop to a GPS receiver and communicate with it.
The connection is made using simple serial port connection.
The method that creates the connection looks like that:
public void openport(){
        try {
            String dir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
            String file = dir+"/Some/Directory/blabla.txt;
            File F = new File(file);
            if (!F.getParentFile().exists()){
                F.getParentFile().mkdirs();
            }
            writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(F));
            SP.openPort();
            SP.setParams(SerialPort.BAUDRATE_115200, SerialPort.DATABITS_8,SerialPort.STOPBITS_1, SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
            SP.addEventListener(new SerialPortReader(),SerialPort.MASK_RXCHAR);
        }
        catch (SerialPortException ex) {msgArea.append(ex.toString() + "\n");}
        catch (IOException ex) {msgArea.append(ex.toString() + "\n");}
    }

The event listener class looks like that:
class SerialPortReader implements SerialPortEventListener {
        String tmp = "";

        public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) {
            if (event.isRXCHAR() && event.getEventValue() > 0) {
                try {
                    tmp += SP.readString();
                    if (tmp.contains("\n") && tmp.length() > 2){
                            if (tmp.contains("$GPGGA") && tmp.length() > 60){
                                decompose_GPGGA(tmp);
                            } else if (tmp.contains("$GPGLL")&& tmp.length() > 20){
                                decompose_GPGLL(tmp);
                            } else if (tmp.contains("$GPGSA") && tmp.length() > 14){
                                decompose_GPGSA(tmp);
                            } else if (tmp.contains("$GPGRS") && tmp.length() > 14){
                                int ind = tmp.indexOf("$GPGRS");
                                String str = tmp.substring(ind);
                                decompose_GPGRS(str);
                            }
                        tmp = "";
                    }
                }
                catch (SerialPortException ex) {msgArea.append(ex.toString() + "\n");}
            }
        }}

Using the listener class I read messages that are coming out of the receiver and decode them.
The problem is that when the connection is made from usb to usb it works perfectly. However, when the connection is from usb to RS232 I am not able to read any incoming data.
The connection no the laptop is always USB port, on the receiver I have two connection options (USB or RS232).
Why is this happening? Am i doing something wrong? should i use a different approach for the connection?
Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

GDPR Training For Staff. Great Value Elearning. Shows Staff What To Do.
Everyone Is Important. Play Your Part.
GDPR Training Your Staff Will Enjoy.
GDPR help and guidance can be found almost everywhere. In the UK, a great place to start is with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). There you will find a wealth of information. This includes why data needs to be protected, who should have access, data retention, sharing and removal.
The ICO makes it very clear that companies must collect and handle personal data in the correct way.
Interestingly, many only see the GDPR as controlling how to collect and share data. This is not the complete picture. GDPR has a 'security principle', which is that you process data securely by means of 'appropriate technical and organisational measures'.
Get Your Staff Security Aware.
Companies will come under scrutiny from the ICO if a security breach takes place. Indeed, the ICO has a whole section devoted to dealing with data breaches.
Data breaches normally occur when a company or its staff do not operate in a secure way. A breach often exposes huge amounts of data which can be used for fraudulent and criminal activity.
As this is a security issue, get your staff aware of the risks and how to cope with threats. This significantly reduces the risk of a breach occurring.
This is one of the most effective methods of protecting data.
Delivering Practical Advice And Guidance.
Ok, so when we talk about GDPR training for your staff, we mean getting them to really understand basic security. Forget mindless Powerpoint style presentations. People switch off and it is often a complete waste of time.
Concentrate on the basics. Cyber security is a vast subject that can be very technical. Most people do not need (or want) to know about security. It holds little interest for them. They simply want to know how to stay safe so that they can get on with what they are supposed to be doing.
GDPR Training Needs To Be Interesting.
With this in mind, our GDPR training sessions are short, high in practical content and deliver messages using stories and anecdotes. We rely heavily on real world experiences and animation style sessions. This also applies to quick and effective Q&A to reinforce learning.
Everything that we put in the sessions applies to how 'normal' people work. Reading emails, dealing with visitors, leaving confidential papers lying around, using passwords safely. These subjects are recommended by the ICO as safe working practices when trying to meet the GDPR.
We will explain how personal information about all of us is collected and shared. How it identifies you, your job, hobbies, health and what you buy.
We then introduce GDPR and how it can protect your personal data by forcing organisations to protect any personal data that they store or process.
The GDPR considers individual people as Data Subjects, and as such you have considerable rights to find out what a company holds on you.
You will be able to ask a company what it stores – and why. This extends to requesting that your information is updated or even deleted.
Organisations are considered as Processors or Controllers. Employees of such organisations are required to protect personal data. This might be customer details, staff contact details, payroll and salary.
We Explain How To Keep Personal Data Safe.
– Keep your passwords secure.
– Log off or lock your screen when not at your desk.
– Dispose of confidential waste properly.
– Take care with suspect email attachments and links to external sites.
– Make sure visitors are always signed in and have a legitimate reason for being on site.
– Collect only the data that you need to do your job.
– Keep data up to date. Make sure it is as accurate as possible.
– Delete or destroy any data that you no longer need.
– Be careful about who you give personal information to.

Designed For All Staff. Easy to understand GDPR training courses.
Low Cost. Fantastic value. Further bulk discounts available.
Story Based. We avoid boring, linear style training. Delivered using stories that appeal.

Zergratran to raise $75m for green shipping corridor
22 November | terminals
Zergratran has launched a Reg A+ offering to raise initial funding of $75m for the construction of a green shipping corridor that will serve as an alternative to the Panama Canal for shipping containers.
Using a magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology system, the Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA) will be an underground tunnel that will transfer containers between fully automated ports on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Northern Colombia within 30 minutes.
As a new container shipping route and green shipping tunnel, PILA will start south of the Panama Canal in Northern Colombia.
The shipping route will help link the North Atlantic and North Pacific routes.
It is said to be the first green shipping corridor to adopt sustainable technologies to attain zero emissions.

Proman Stena Bulk names its first methanol-powered tanker
Proman Stena Bulk has held a naming ceremony for its new methanol-fuelled tanker in Trinidad and Tobago.
Dubbed Stena Pro Patria, the MOIIMeMAX series ship is the first of the three methanol-fuelled vessels delivered this year to the joint venture (JV) between Stena Bulk and Proman.
The JV took the delivery of Stena Pro Patria in June this year.
It is also anticipated to receive further three new builds between this year and 2024.
The IMOIIMeMax vessel series features design improvements and technologies to enhance energy efficiency and prove the operational viability of methanol as a marine fuel.
Around 2,500tpa of methanol will be used as fuel by the Stena Pro Patria vessel.
This fuel will help significantly decrease the volume of greenhouse gas emissions emitted due to the vessel's commercial operations compared to conventional marine fuels.

FURETANK AND ALGOMA INVEST IN DUAL-FUEL PRODUCT TANKERS
Sweden-based Furetank and Canada's Algoma Central have expanded their FureBear product tanker joint venture (JV) with the addition of a further four dual-fuel vessels.
Two of the new vessels were already ordered in September for supply to FureBear. The other two have now been ordered and are expected to be delivered in 2025.
The JV, in which each of the entities have a 50% stake, was established in August.
With the latest investment, the total number of product tankers under the JV stands at eight.
These climate-friendly Vinga series product tankers will be used for trade activities in Northern Europe.
Similar to the earlier four ships, the new vessels will also be built at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Yangzhou. This takes the Vinga series count to 17 vessels so far.
Once completed, the new vessels will be included in the Gothia Tanker Alliance. Furetank will operate the vessels from Gothenburg, Sweden.

UK AND US COMMIT TO GREEN SHIPPING CORRIDORS
The UK and the US have agreed to set up green shipping corridors between the two countries at this year's COP27 conference in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.
These green maritime links are specific routes decarbonised from end to end, including both land-side infrastructure and vessels.
Setting up such shipping routes involves using zero-emission fuels, implementing refuelling or recharging infrastructure at ports, and deploying zero-emission capable vessels for more environmentally-friendly shipping.
The two countries have agreed to launch a special Green Shipping Corridor Task Force to bring together experts in the sector, encourage vital research and development, and drive other important work and projects to see these initiatives come to life as quickly as possible.
