THE INDIAN ADVOCATE
soon as he is able to go to college, you will be at liberty to
send him: but it must be a Catholic college remember
that. The boy's parents were Catholics, and he is a bap
tized member of the Catholic Church. His mother died in
my parish, and I am bound to see to this. Surely you
would never tamper with his religion, would you?"
"Never, Father," said the man; "I am square, if I am
anything. I think I will take your advice. You will give
me a letter to the Home, will you not?"
"Most certainly," said the priest.
And so it happened. When little Arthur's mother was
laid in her lonely grave, the little lad was taken to the
Orphans' Home by Mr. Brown. It cost poor Arthur, who
had got to love his benefactor, many bitter tears when he
heard he was to leave him, and almost stabbed the heart
of Mr. Brown.
But the good Sisters opened their arms and hearts to the
sobbing boy.
"Dontcry, Arthur," said Mr. Brown; "be a man! I'll
come to see you on Sunday, and bring you a train of cars
and a picture book."
Arthur brightened up. "Will you? A really train of cars,
with a choo-choo, and a cowcatcher, and a bell?
"Yes, all that, and a big book."
"Hooray!" said Arthur, all smiles. "Hurry up Sunday,
Uncle Ben; hurry up!" And leaving him smiling and wav
ing his hand, Mr. Brown departed, relieved, yet wishing
he had some way of keeping this small bit of sunshine
nearer to himself.
He was as good as his word. On Sunday he arrived at
the "Home" with quite a large parcel, in which were the
picture book and the train of cars. Arthur was radiant.
He was neatly dressed, his curls brushed, and his eyes
were like stars.
He was happy and had a thousand things to tell his "Un
cle Ben." The coveted parcel was examined, and it was
good to see the little fellow's delight.
"And so it went on, Sunday after Sunday, for six long
years. The boy grew and became a sturdy fellow, yet

Maiko National Park is located in one of the most remote forest areas in Democratic Republic of Congo covering an area of 10,885 square kilometers. The Park comprises of three sectors straddling the states of Prince Orientale, Nord (North) Kivu and Maniema. Nord Kivu borders Lake Kivu to its eastern direction with its capital being Goma. The other two cities in the province are; Butembo and Beni though it is also made up of six territories such as; Beni, Lubero, Masisi, Rutshuru, Nyiragongo and Walikale. The only home to Mountain gorillas in Congo and entire Central Africa (Virunga National Park) is also found in the North/Nord Kivu. Therefore since the Park's Nord Kivu province resides Virunga, visitors to the Park can also go for Mountain gorilla tracking.
Maiko national park resides some of Africa's best wildlife species including the African forest elephants. Elephants are among the species in Africa's big five which are so famous to many African tourists and fortunately a visitor to Maiko will be able to view the elephants in the Park. The Park also protects eastern lowland gorillas which in Congo are only found in the Park and in Kahuzi Biega National Park.
Congo gorilla permit costs US$ 400 which can be purchased for you by your tour agency and enjoy the gorilla trekking activity which offers an experience of a lifetime due to the amazing behaviors the gorillas possess. For a great and complete gorilla safari you can also visit the nearby Virunga national park for trekking the rare endangered Mountain gorillas thus leaving Congo with interesting memories about gorillas and also experience the differences and similarities between lowland and Mountain gorillas.
Since the Park is located in a remote area, it is thus less visited but really it is a destination you should not miss to visit because it is abundantly gifted with many amazing wildlife species such as elephants, eastern lowland gorillas along with the eastern chimpanzees. The Park consists of many interesting activities for visitors to do such as; gorilla tracking, chimpanzee tracking, game viewing, bird watching and many others.
The park is a home of Congo's endemic animals others include; Okapis, aquatic genets and the Congo pea-fowls plus leopards can also be viewed in the Park. However due to the existence of former rebels who had made their homes in the park along with illegal mining and poaching made many species to be threatened with extinction. Due to the Park's location being a remote area, there are no good accommodations within and near the Park except the few budget lodges outside the Park and thus travelers are always emphasized to carry camping gears as they will stay with the local community.

He was content to end his mixed martial arts career as one of the best fighters never to compete in the UFC. Outside of an exciting two-way brawl in the final minute of Round 4 in which Woodley was lucky to finish, the fight was all Usman, all the time, thanks to his relentless pressure.
Although, with a weak 205-pound division, it seems like a lackluster opponent for Jon Jones.
"Hats off to Anthony Smith", Jones said.
"This MMA thing is really hard". "Some days you're going to look wonderful, and some days at work you're not going to perform at the level you hold yourself to".
Because he has been away from the sport for some time, Jones has said he wants to remain as active as possible, wishing to fight multiple times this year.
Jones won 48-44 on all three scorecards. Jones will go down as one of the best MMA fighters of all time in the record books, with his first light heavyweight title reign lasting eight defenses - a UFC record.
The main card begins with one-time bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt (-160) taking on Pedro Munhoz (+130) in his first fight since losing successive title bouts to T.J. Dillashaw. He took Woodley down in the opening round and, after Woodley managed to work back to his feet, peppered him with knees and punches in the clinch. Woodley (19-3-1) last defended his title against Darren Till at UFC 228 past year and will look to make it four straight title defenses when he takes on Usman.
He has been out of the octagon since June 2018, when he defeated Rafael dos Anjos for the interim belt. I still see the fight going the way Woodley wants it to and controlling his opponent as he always does. The Nigeria native is ranked as the second-best welterweight in the world by Sherdog, while ESPN rates him fourth, and the UFC has him as the No. 2 contender.
"First of all, let's give it up for Tyron Woodley".
"Colby had two chances", Woodley said. "I think he was so far ahead of the curve when he came onto the scene, so far ahead of everybody, that he was this mythical creature, and no one could figure out his style. I would love to run it back again and put on a better performance". Instead, the UFC declined to offer him a contract and he went on to sign with ONE. I see Askren winning by decision. "I was mostly surprised at how quickly he got me up and down". Lawler is a competent grappler in his own right but it is still expected that Askren will be able to dominate if he gets top position. Lawler was furious when Dean stopped the bout, insisting he was fine in the choke. I don't have any extra pressure; a fight is just another fight.
A fighter has gone to extreme lengths to get answers to a title fight snub after hunting down UFC boss Dana White at a casino. But Jones has been swarmed in controversy over the last few years, especially when it comes to drug testing.
"Where are you at Dana?"

Many Iranian Americans Afraid to Travel Under Trump Travel Order
Elizabeth Lee
Iranian Americans Confused and Angered Over Trump Travel Ban
LOS ANGELES —
In the heart of Persian Square, in West Los Angeles, everyone is getting ready for Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, when family members visit each other.Normally it's the busy season for the travel agencies that cater to the Iranian community.
But not this year.
"They ask us questions more than they make reservation," said Sherry Tahouri, owner of Shahrezad Tour and Travel.
Tahouri caters mostly to the Iranian Community in Los Angeles, many of whom still have family in Iran.
President Donald Trump's revised executive order banning travelers who do not currently have visasfrom six Muslim majority countries from entering the U.S. for three months is scheduled to take effect on March 16.Among the six countries on the travel order is Iran.
Even before it takes effect, the order is disrupting Nowruz travel plans. "Most people when they purchase their ticket, they are purchasing a non-refundable ticket, the lowest fare and in that case, they were asking, 'We need our refund because we're scared to go there. We don't want to go,'" said Farhad Besharati, owner of Travel ATT.
He said Iranian Americans, even those who are U.S. citizens are afraid to travel or go to Iran because of Trump's executive order.Even though it doesn't apply to U.S. citizens, they fear another change in thetravel rules.
"It's about 40 years after Iran's revolution. A lot of people that are here, their relatives getting older and older, so they cannot (see them)," said journalist Reza Goharzad.

'State sponsor of terrorism'
According to the executive order:"Iran has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984 and continues to support various terrorist groups, including Hizballah, Hamas and terrorist groups in Iraq…Iran does not cooperate with the United States in counterterrorism efforts."
Trump supporters applaud the measure.
"We've been invaded by, you know, refugees from all over, you know from Europe and, you know, from our – from countries like Syria and Iran. And we – they have to be vetted, they have to be," insisted Palm Springs resident Maureen Martin.
But Iranian Americans have never been the source of terrorism in the United States, said journalist Goharzad. "Terror happened in the United States happened by Saudi Arabians. Happened by people from Pakistan, happened by people from different countries, Muslim countries that are not on the list, and they are allied to the United States."
While Iran is not a U.S. ally, Goharzad said many of its people are. "You have to separate the government's account with the people.My people they are under the big pressure of the dictatorship in Iran. So, don't put government's fault on the people."

Iranian students
Varun Soni, dean of religious life at the University of Southern California (USC), points out that Muslims are not the only Iranians likely to be caught up in the travel order.
"We have a very large Iranian community here in Los Angeles, including a large Iranian Jewish community and a large Iranian Bahai community," he said.
Rose Youssefi is in the medical field and said the order's effect on Iranian students will be "devastating."
"There's a lot of students in medicine have been caught and can't come back. They have pending residencies, pending degrees waiting for them and they can't return," she says. "It's not fair at all. It's heart breaking."
Travel agency owner Besharati said that pending any action in the courts - the travel order is being contested by a number of states- there is nothing to do but be patient with President Trump's order.
"We have to give him a chance for some months, some time, at least maybe he can prove he was right about this decision."
In the meantime, journalist Goharzad seeks solace and wisdom from Persian poet Hafez.
"He says it never stay the same way as it was, and it will not stay the same way as it is. Everything will change."

Rig Source Introduces Terramac Crawler Carrier Line
Thu June 07, 2012 - National Edition
The new Terramac RT9 rubber track carrier from Rig Source Inc
Rig Source Inc., a dealer of drilling equipment located in Elburn, Ill., introduced its new Terramac RT9 rubber track multipurpose carrier at the Northern Mining Expo in Timmins, Ontario, May 16 and 17.
The CE certified Terramac RT9 model has an 18,000 lb. (8,200 kg) carrying capacity and is equipped with a 230 hp (171 kW) Cummins diesel engine in both open cab and closed cab options. The unit has rollover protective structure (ROPS) as well as falling object protective structure (FOPS) components. Ground pressure when fully loaded is only 4.9 psi. The RT9's easy front and rear bolt-on attachments can accommodate a variety of needs in the drilling and general construction industries.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as well as contractors can easily mount their own machines — cranes, drills, water tanks and more — on Terramac crawler carriers.
"We created the RT9 with customization as a top priority," said Mike Crimaldi, president of Rig Source and one of the creators of the Terramac line. "The ability to mount a variety of machines is the RT9's core differentiator and strength. Versatility was one of the features that Expo attendees rated as most important to them."
Many attendees, who braved rain, wind and sleet were pleased to learn that Terramac's RT9 is powered by a 230 hp Cummins diesel engine. The engine's reputation for power and reliability was seen as one more point in the RT9's favor according to Matt Slater, Rig Source's director of sales.
"Another well-received feature of the new carrier is the ease of maintenance that was built into the design of the RT9," said Slater. "For example, cylinder mounts and front and rear attachment plates are all bolt-on for easy replacement. The pivot shaft blocks are also bolted on, rather than welded on. We included cleanouts on the frame to simplify clearing mud and water from the frame rails as well. And those are just a few examples."
The size of the display model was popular with the industry professionals in attendance. The Terramac RT9 has a 17 ft. 7 in. (5.3 m) overall length and is 8 ft. 5 in. (2.6 m) wide with a 9 ft. 3 in. (2.8 m) height and 20-in. (51 cm) minimum ground clearance. The unit's travel speed is 4.7 to 7 mph. It has a 10-ft. (3 m) turning radius.
"I think a lot of our customers will really appreciate that these machines are manufactured in North America," added Crimaldi. "Terramac's goal is to deliver machines in a shorter lead-time than manufacturers in Asia."
Asked about his plans for the Terramac RT9, Crimaldi responded that the formal launch of the Terramac line is planned for September at MINExpo in Las Vegas.
"When we realized that the first two units would roll off the assembly line in time for the Expo in Timmins, we decided to give the market a look at the Terramac a few months early," he said. "We will begin taking orders for the RT9 right away. Sales and manufacturing won't wait for the formal launch. Customers that want a Terramac can order one now. Rentals are also available."
Rig Source, the exclusive distributor of the new carrier, does extensive business overseas, and Crimaldi noted that the Terramac would be available for those customers as well.
"We ship drill rigs all over the world," he noted, "and we plan to do the same with the Terramac."
For more information, call 877/365-1649.

Q: CDO.Message.Fields[].Name contains weird characters I'm reading an email file where the first line in the file (so first line in the header) is:
X-RCPT-TO-LIST: 1,2,3
I'm loading it using CDO and ADODB like this:
        ADODB.Stream stream = new ADODB.Stream();
        stream.Open(Type.Missing, ADODB.ConnectModeEnum.adModeUnknown, ADODB.StreamOpenOptionsEnum.adOpenStreamUnspecified, String.Empty, string.Empty);
        stream.LoadFromFile(filename);
        stream.Flush();
        CDO.Message msg = new CDO.Message();
        msg.DataSource.OpenObject(stream, "_Stream");
        msg.DataSource.Save();

Then I'm trying to get the field like this:
ADODB.Field f = msg.Fields["urn:schemas:httpmail:X-RCPT-TO-LIST"];

Which does not work, it returns an empty field (null values).
Looking at the fields in the debugger, I see that the field name is:
urn:schemas:mailheader:ÿþx-rcpt-to-list

I assume my code might work if I look for those weird characters, but I'm worried they might change from one email to the next.  Any ideas why those strange characters are added?  Is there a better way to access custom header fields (without reading the file myself and parsing it)?
I'm running this test on Windows XP with all of the latest patches (SP3 I think).
Sorry if I tagged this wrong, I had trouble finding tags for this.  I'm using C# if not obvious.
Here is the entire email file, I removed some junk (some for privacy reasons) but I did retest with this exact version and getting same results:

The X-RCPT-TO-LIST line is added by code in my email server that translates the RCPT TO:<> lines to internal user IDs.  That way my thread that processes these files later knows where to place the mail.  I don't want to keep the info in a separate file or anything like that, as I like my current design, I just want to know why CDO/ADODB is translating my message header in to some weird name, like a mix-match of Unicode vs ASCII or something goofy.

A: "ÿþ" as first symbols of a text stream are so-called "byte order mark" most of the time. See eg. Wikipedia entry. They appear in a stream because they are in a file being read. BOM must show up if one opens a file with a hex-editor and checks its first bytes. For instance, "ÿþ" is a text representation of 0xFFFE.
Why are these symbols there in a file in the first place? It depends on how the file was created. This question may appear helpful: Can I export excel data with UTF-8 without BOM?.

A: Unless someone has a better answer, like maybe my code for loading the message has a bug in it, then I'm going to accept this as the answer...
It appears to be a bug in CDO or ADODB that does this for the first line of any message.  I tested by removing my X-RCPT-TO-LIST line, so that the first line was a standard "Received:" line, and in that case the Received line had the weird characters added to the name.  I also tested with several other emails with different items as the first line, and in all cases the first line always had the weird characters added to the name.  I can only imagine the bug has either been fixed (I'm using XP which is pretty old), or most people using CDO haven't noticed because they don't do anything with the Received: lines and that is usually the first line in the header.
For me, to avoid the issue, I will just add an extra line to the top, so I'll have:
X-CDO-FIX: fix
X-RCPT-TO-LIST: 1,2,3
...normal header here...
Tested and works, so I'm happy.  Will leave this open for a few days in case someone can provide more info that is worthy of the bounty I have started that might help someone else as well.

We send and give Christmas cards to people that we know, care about and love.
It's so easy to find yourself overwhelmed by the daily worries and stress of the fast-paced modern world. Never-ending 'to-do list' weigh us down with the seemingly impossible to complete tasks that are continuously updated and extended by mobile devices that ensure we are contactable around the clock. Sometimes it can feel as though there is nowhere to hide.
As we try our best to keep on top of the errands and chores of daily life we rarely give ourselves time to take a breath before one day rolls into the next and we start again. Today our bodies and minds are never given enough time to rest and recharge. A retreat can be the perfect solution to replenish your health and boost body and mind to a peak level of wellness.
Although perhaps only a temporary escape, in essence, finding absolute seclusion, at any one of the retreats now available all over the world in some of the most beautiful locations on the planet, can yield benefits that may change your life for the better, enabling you to live a healthier and more balanced life upon your return home.
I stand testament to this having nearly run myself into an early grave during a highly stressful, yet successful 10-year career in sales and marketing. Today things look a lot different; after experiencing my first retreat on the advice of a colleague, I began studying in my own time and after becoming professionally qualified took the leap in starting my own health and wellness business and am now proud to offer health retreats in Bali, Indonesia.
In a day where it is rare to even get a few minutes of peace from mobile devices, computers, family, and friends, being released from these distractions can provide an opportunity, perhaps the first in a long time, for true reflection.
When was the last time you made time in your life to experience the benefits of being alone? To spend a moment in true solitude away from your mobile phone?
Money, Time, and Work can make you feel imprisoned in your current reality. Having the opportunity to enjoy activities such as meditation, yoga, exercise, creative arts or even just taking a walk in nature can deepen your self-awareness, boost creativity and can be enjoyed alone.
This seclusion from the modern world can give you a whole new perspective on how you are living your life. The almost sacred path to self-discovery in solitude can let you better hear and feel what it is you truly desire, hold important and what it is that your soul has been yearning for.
True self-love and nurturing a healthy self-relationship can enable us to have healthier relationships with others.
There are a vast array of retreats available at scenic locations spread across the globe to suit every different type of person. From the specialist 'Prestige Boot Camp's in Spain, 'Macrobiotic weeks' in Scotland, yoga or meditation retreats across South East Asia and others providing an assortment of activities and classes.
Whichever retreat you would choose to suit your interests or ambitions all are organised with the target of returning you home refreshed, feeling revitalised and reconnected to your body, mind and soul.
Offering a multitude of health benefits it is important you choose an escape that is well organised and will provide you the education, tools, and continuing support to stay the course of a healthier lifestyle once home.
Powerful backdrops like those found in South East Asia or Costa Rica provide flawless settings for deep relaxation, healing, and transformation.
Being surrounded by nature will take you back to your alpha mind state helping you to really feel your environment and your place within it, altering your energy and vibration and creating a sense of gratitude for the smallest of things.
Perhaps a profound experience in itself escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life stresses, walking, hiking and living in nature offer the further, perhaps now alien to us living in the modern world, opportunity to connect with nature.
Hiking through the jungle teaming with wildlife or swimming at the base of a waterfall there are retreats available globally and the natural environments to be explored are endless.
Perhaps you already feel a connection with nature, spending time at a retreat will further serve to deepen it. These experiences are unforgettable and will change the way you look and feel with nature on your return, even if you must return back to the busy city.
Whether skiing or surfing as part of an 'adventure' retreat, practicing yoga and meditation in a more spiritual escape or fasting as part of a detox; a retreat will undoubtedly provide an opportunity for new skills and lessons to be learned and experiences to be enjoyed.
Trying new activities or practicing those you already enjoy in a new environment, with new teachers and other participants, expose you to new experiences and mindsets that all serve to mould and shape you, no matter how significantly or insignificantly it may seem.
This experience, as a whole, will leave you feeling calmer, more connected to who you are and more present in day-to-day life. This is something you will take home after any retreat.

On the Shop Floor
Martin Ettinger literally grew up on the floor of Digital Press. Joining the Company as an intern at the age of 14, Martin has been groomed and mentored for the last 20 years by his father Willard, one of the industry's most respected designers and builders of hydraulic powder compaction presses.
During summer breaks, Martin worked in the stockroom organizing inventory and learning about the various components used in our powder compaction presses. He also spent time in the engineering department, learning how to read and draft blueprints, and began to learn CAD programs, creating digital drawings of his own.
After graduating high school, Martin came to work for Digital Press full time, learning every mechanical aspect of the machines from painting the frame to installing motors, cylinders, valves hoses etc., graduating to building the controls, as well as programming.
Martin has spent countless hours in the field with Willard performing on-site troubleshooting on Alphas, Mannesmanns, Bussmanns and the occasional Digital Press. It is this on-site experience that he finds most gratifying:
"I love getting into the field, watching customers' processes, learning about the motions they're using, how they're pressing parts and what they need from their presses to meet the challenges they face in their marketplace."
Digital Press has been a big part of Martin's life to this point, with more than half of it spent "in the trenches." He understands the importance of earning the absolute uncompromised trust instilled in him by his father.
"I'm so proud to be part of the Digital Press story, and I'm dedicated to carrying on my father's legacy and growing the company he built. We build a great press that rarely breaks down, but if it does, I'll be right there to make sure it's back online quickly."
What does the future hold for Martin and Digital Press?
"Willard has provided a firm foundation on which we can grow Digital Press and I intend on doing just that! We will continue to strive towards building strong reliable presses that produce repeatable parts for our customers and to support them in an economical manner. I will also be looking to sustain and build on my father's good reputation with the strenuous goal of surpassing it, if that's even possible. Should I succeed in this endeavor, one thing I do know is that he will be proud!"

The Ideological Approach of Russia in the MENA Region
By Amin BAGHERI
You are here: HomeAnalysisThe Ideological Approach of Russia in the MENA Region
Source: quora.com
After the effects of the Arab Spring on Russia's foreign policy in 2011 and its successful mediation in the agreement between the West and Syria on the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles (September 2013), the question of whether Russia has a strategy for the MENA region (the Middle East and North Africa) was raised. Concerning this question, there are three ways of thinking in analyzing Russia's activities in the Middle East:
Russia has had a strategy for the Middle East that has been largely successful.
Russia had a strategy for the region, but things did not necessarily go as expected.
Russia has no strategy for the Middle East.
Russia's goals in the Mena Region
The main drivers of the Kremlin's policies in the MENA region are economical and geopolitical. Russia's goals are multiple and can be categorized on several levels. Globally, Russia seeks to regain its position of global power and return as an essential independent geopolitical player and regain its position as a significant foreign power in one of the world's most volatile regions. Russia knows that it cannot replace the United States as an essential player or effective provider of security in the MENA region, but it could downplay the role of the United States. The Kremlin is trying to show that the US strategy against terrorism in support of color revolutions and the policy of regime change has failed. In addition, the intervention in Syria distracts the West from the conflict in Ukraine. It balances the situation on the Eastern NATO front (Baltic-Black Sea), Russia's long-term interest.
At the regional level, Russia's primary goal is to support Bashar al-Assad in Syria. In other words, internal security is maintained by maintaining security in the surrounding environment. Mediation between the West and the countries of the MENA region and the application of economic diplomacy, and the use of arms and energy sales agreements as a tool of geopolitical influence and attracting investment from the Persian Gulf countries are all subdivisions of this approach. The intervention in Syria reflects Russia's long-term strategic goals in the MENA region. The Kremlin's overall goal is to prevent instability in the region and support certain minorities in the breakaway countries.
But what tools does Russia have to implement its strategy? In fact, Russia's emerging strategy is the art of adapting to changing circumstances and with limited tools to achieve goals. Russia's tools in the region are military, economic, political, and diplomatic. The Russian military has been an effective tool in Russian foreign policy as there is no military solution to the civil war in Syria as Western leaders try to convince the world; Vladimir Putin showed that no political solution would be possible without military support.
Russia's main interests in the MENA region are mainly geopolitical and security related. However, economic exchanges between Russia and the countries of the MENA region have expanded since 2000. Energy, arms, and food have ready markets in the region, and Russian imports have been mainly fruits, vegetables, and textiles. Russia has a clear strategy for its geographical economy, using economic, trade, and asset tools to achieve geopolitical goals. Given that Russia is the world's second-largest arms exporter and one of the most important exporters of fossil fuels, it is expected to succeed in achieving its geopolitical goals in this way, but it will not necessarily succeed in achieving its economic goals.
Regarding Russia's balancing actions in the region, it can be said that its relations with Turkey are a clear example in this sense. Turkey's relations with Moscow have historically been skeptical, but the two countries have had a significant economic relationship since the Cold War and have significant economic partnerships. The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been at loggerheads with the United States over the Syrian Kurds since 2014. Russia's intervention in Syria in 2015 led to a confrontation between Turkish and Russian policies in that country. The two countries had conflicting interests in Syria. The downing of a Russian bomber by Turkish fighters in November 2015 was an example of several controversial events. In response to the incident, Moscow refused a military attack, but it put Ankara under economic, political, and intelligence pressure. Finally, in mid-2016, Turkey was forced to redefine its policies in Syria which changed Turkish- Russian relations.
In conclusion, there are almost no significant players in the entire MENA region that Russia has not communicated with. Friendship with all the actors in the region, regardless of their political orientation and constant conflicts with each other, has made it possible for Russia to play a mediating role in the region. Referring to examples of this balancing act, we can mention Russia's approach to relations with Israel, Syria, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf countries. Russia's policies are driven by support for existing governments and its non-ideological approach. Nowhere in the region is Russia a full-fledged ally or a staunch enemy. It does not ignore differences in the Middle East, it knows that the numerous conflicts can be deadly, and therefore seeks to establish relations with opposing parties based on common interests. Overall, Russia's ideological approach to the region has transformed it into a major player in the region.

April 21, 2015, by Warren Pearce
Call for papers: Democratising science and technology policy in times of austerity
Myself and Sarah Hartley are convening a panel entitled 'Democratising science and technology policy in times of austerity' at the Policy and Politics conference in Bristol on September 15-16th. We invite abstracts (300 words) before the deadline of May 1st, with a particular interest in papers which straddle the boundary between STS and public policy.
Go to the Policy and Politics website for more details about the conference and the submission procedure. For informal enquiries, please feel free to email me or Sarah.
PANEL ABSTRACT:
"In the efforts to rebuild the UK economy, science has assumed increasing power based on the belief that economic growth requires continual advances in science and technology. The UK Government argues that science is the 'bedrock of our economic future' and selected 'eight great technologies' to stimulate growth and establish the UK as a global leader. In this context, the links between science and economic growth need to be scrutinised and scientific developments better aligned with societal needs.
One response has been the democratisation of science and technology policy to empower a broader range of voices whose values go beyond economic growth, e.g. through up-stream public engagement, 'responsible innovation' and stakeholder engagement in European risk assessment. We invite papers that examine efforts to democratise science, particularly where it takes place in traditionally expert domains. We welcome papers that attempt to link the Science, Technology and Society and policy literatures."

Q: Is udelay deterministic if I disable preemption and irq? I use udelay to control the GPIO signal toggling time. I disabled preemption and interrupt using preempt_disable and local_irq_disable. However the test shows from time to time the delay caused by udelay is longer than I expected. I am running on a dual core ARM system. May I know if the udelay time is deterministic and accurate under all system condition as long as I disable preemption and interrupt? If not, any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance.

A: udelay (and mdelay) work by spinning (a busy wait), and use the bogomips value to determine the spin count.  Considering that modern processors won't execute instructions deterministically, because of cache misses, pipelines, branch prediction misses, variable memory latency, etc, I would hypothesize that udelay will not be deterministic, even if you disable hardware interrupts.
If your platform has some sort of high performance timer (like the Time Stamp Counter on intel CPUs), you may be able to get that to work for you.

During the 1966 Venice Biennale, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama stood outside the Italian pavilion and set up shop. Her rogue, uninvited installation work consisted of 1,500 stainless steel spheres, each about the size of a basketball. Dressed some days in a golden kimono, and others in a red bodysuit, she would sell the mirrored balls to members of the public for $2 each – calling them "Your Narcissism".

This week at Index: Censorship won't lead to a more equitable society
BY INDEX ON CENSORSHIP
INDEX ADVOCACY
Censorship cannot create a more equal society
Proposals to address so-called hate groups put forward by the Tony Blair Institute risk damaging freedom of speech in the UK, Index on Censorship warned.
"You do not create more equal societies through censorship and the growing enthusiasm for shutting down other people's speech in a misguided belief this promotes greater tolerance is depressing. Hatred needs to be addressed – but banning people from expressing hateful views is not the way to do this," Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of Index, said.
The institute proposed the creation of a new designation the government would use to differentiate between legitimate criticism and commentary on "Islamist extremism or white supremacy" and the "indiscrimate targeting of a group to foster hatred". Groups that were tagged with the new designation, the institute imagines, "would be banned from appearing on media outlets like the BBC or engaging with public institutions."
Ginsberg said: "The government already has legislation it can use to tackle those who deliberately stir up racial and religious hatred, and in particular laws that address incitement to violence. We do not need new laws – we need better enforcement of the ones we have. Governments have for decades tried – and failed – to find a way of defining extremist language in a way that would not end up simply scooping up vast swathes of legal political speech. Proposals to give the government greater powers to define and outlaw new kinds of speech simply open the door to more and more state censorship of speech."
Urgent appeal in relation to the arrest and detention of Omoyele Sowore, Nigerian journalist and human rights defender
Joy Hyvarinen, head of advocacy at Index on Censorship said: "Index on Censorship urges the Nigerian authorities to release the prominent journalist and campaigner Omoyele Sowore immediately. The arrest and detention are a shocking violation of Mr Sowore's human rights, which calls into question Nigeria's willingness and ability to meet international human rights obligations."
#FreeSpeechIsForMe
Index is seeking applicants for its Free Speech Is For Me advocates program. The aim is to equip a broad new range of individuals to challenge censorship, defend speech rights and champion freedom of expression for all. Find out more
China seeks to influence academic freedom on foreign campuses
"Students in the United States must be free to express their views, without feeling pressured to censor their speech…We can and will push back hard against the Chinese government's efforts to chill free speech on American campuses." This is what Marie Royce, US assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, said in her address welcoming Chinese students to American universities in July 2019.
As much a warning as a welcome, the speech illustrates the balancing act America and other western countries often perform when engaging with Chinese people and organisations on campus. The presence of the Chinese Communist Party on campuses severely limits the free expression of Chinese students, and threatens more broadly to curtail academic freedom, the right to protest, and the ability to engage with the uncomfortable truths about the Chinese government honestly.
Cases against Academics for Peace have become emblematic of the attacks on freedom of expression in Turkey
On 26 July 2019, Turkey's highest court brought new hope to Turkish academics when it ruled that ten educators who had signed the petition "We will not be a Party to This Crime!" (Bu Suça Ortak Olmayacağız) had been tried unfairly and in violation of their rights. We speak to a Turkish academic working in the UK about what the ruling means.
Short fiction by Eman Abdelrahim
Laugh and the World Laughs with Me
Laugh and the World Laughs with Me is an intimate short story of a young woman who has a schizophrenic brother, set against the backdrop of the Tahrir Square demonstrations, from Egyptian writer Eman Abdelrahim. Many of her tales often touch upon taboo subjects like mental health and presents women's dilemmas in surreal ways. Her main influences when writing stems from Russian greats like Anton Chekhov, Nikolai Gogol and Fyodor Dostoevsky. She says she sees parallels between Egyptian society today and 19th century Tsarist Russia.
Autumn magazine launch party at the Science Museum
We're launching our latest Index on Censorship magazine at the Science Museum during Banned Books Week UK, as part of their Top Secret Lates on Wednesday 25 September. This is a chance for an adults only, after-hours visit to the museum, exploring all things secret, from codebreaking to secret communications.
SEPTEMBER EVENTS
Creative constraints, banned books and The Testaments
As summer 2019 drifts toward the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, we wanted to get on your radar to tell you about the exciting series of events we have planned for September. Here's just a few of the full slate.
Saturday 7 September
The paradox of creative constraints
We'll be participating in a day-long symposium hosted in partnership with The Mosaic Rooms exploring the paradox of creative constraints in contemporary cinema from the Middle East – a day of film screenings and panel discussions with filmmakers, funders and programmers, including some of the most innovative rising talents as well as established experts. £6.50 tickets include lunch and refreshments.
Culture Under Attack
Wrapping up a series of summer exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum, this day-long event be a mixture of panel sessions, a film screening, behind-the-scenes museums tours, and a pop-up book shop, where we look at the power of culture and the role it plays within conflict throughout history. Speakers include Elif Shafak, Lemn Sissay, Lindsey Hilsum and Tim Marlow. Tickets from £20.
Monday/Tuesday 9-10 September
The Testaments launch parties
Celebrate the UK launch of The Testaments, the long-awaited sequel to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, with midnight parties and a lantern-lit parade at these independent bookshops.
Tuesday 17 September
Artistic freedom and the internet: Opportunity or threat?
A one-day workshop for UK-based artists, arts organisations and cultural stakeholders. The internet offers artists and arts organisations direct access to a potentially global audience for their work. What was the preserve of relatively few internationally-known artists and cultural institutions is now in theory open to anyone who can promote their work effectively online. But this unprecedented opportunity can present its own challenge. The volume and intensity of censure has been transformed and something new is in play – the direct targeting of organisations and people online, from campaigns calling for the withdrawal of work, to trolling and even threats of violence. Full details.
We've got a full list of events for September here.
Index on Censorship defends people's freedom to express themselves without fear of harm or persecution. We publish censored writers and artists, monitor and campaign against censorship, and encourage debate.
We rely on donations from readers and supporters. By donating to Index you help us to protect freedom of expression and to support those who are denied that right.

RESIDENTS: C.D. Batchelor
Continuing our profiles of noted Tudor City residents, here is C.D. Batchelor, a Pulitzer-Prize winning editorial cartoonist who lived in Haddon Hall for about 30 years. His life, in bullet points:
C.D. Batchelor, circa 1925
✦ Born in Kansas in 1888, he arrives in New York in 1923, and quickly establishes a name for himself as a talented illustrator.
✦ After a stint at the New York Post, he finds an enduring fit with the Daily News, where he's hired in 1931. He submits daily cartoons for its editorial page for nearly four decades. He's prolific, turning out much ancillary artwork for causes that he believes in, including over 1,000 drawings promoting highway safety.
✦ In Tudor City, he's known as 'Batch' and considered something of a character, usually sporting a homburg hat, ascot and cane. (He explains it's "just as easy to be a character as not to be one ‒ and a hell of a lot more fun.") As a hobby, he collects canes, often trading original cartoons for antique walking sticks.
Below, his most famous work ‒ captioned "Come on in, I'll treat you right. I used to know your daddy" ‒ wins the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1937.
War, a skull-faced floozie, lures 'any European youth' to his doom.
Batchelor resides in a Haddon Hall penthouse from the 1930s into the 1960s, apparently taking to heart the enclave's ad slogan, Live in Tudor City and Walk to Business. It's a three-minute stroll from Haddon Hall to the Daily News Building.
Below, a 1957 photo from Tudor City View showing Batchelor posing with a mural he has painted for the lobby of the Daily News Building. A 48-foot-long marvel depicting the history of communication, it is two years in the making (and no longer in place).
Batchelor moves out of Tudor City in 1966, retiring to his country home in Deep River, CT, where he passes away in 1977 at the age of 89.

This is an uncomplicated do ahead meal, making an excellent dinner when it is cold outside. I often prep the meal the night before and place everything in the slow cooker before I go to bed. In the morning transfer the cooked meal to a dutch oven and before leaving for work just cover it and pop in the refrigerator. In the evening remove from the refrigerator, let the oven come up the temp, and reheat the pot roast while preparing a green salad and boiling some potatoes for a complete meal. 6-8 Servings.
In slow cooker, stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Peel and slice carrots into 1 inch long chunks. Peel and slice onions into thick slices. Add carrots and onions to slow cooker; season with salt and pepper, and toss. Top with tomato paste and herbs.
Sprinkle roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; place on top of vegetables, and drizzle with wine then Worcestershire. Cover; cook on low for 10 hours.
If making ahead reduce cooking time to 8-9 hours, then transfer everything to a Dutch oven and refrigerate once the meal has cooled to just above room temperature. Excess fat can be removed if desired as it solidifies and floats to the top when chilled. To serve, reheat in the covered pot in an oven preheated to 325 degrees. Takes about 30 minutes.
Transfer roast to a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Place vegetables in a serving dish; discard herb sprigs and pour pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve roast with vegetables and pan juices.


The most famous Hungarian castle. The castle is popular thanks to the novel by Géza Gárdonyi, the Stars of Eger. There are many exhibitions and programs in the castle. The seat of the Eger bishopric, was located on the castle hill for 500 years. After the Mongol invasion, a castle was built to protect the bishopric. It has been rebuilt and expanded several times. In the middle of the castle garden you can see the remains of the once large, Romanesque and Gothic-style bishop's cathedral.

First-Ever Cancellation of Water Polo Junior Olympics Underscores USAWP Financial Challenges
Missing for 2020: the largest youth water polo tournament in the world. Photo Courtesy: Catharyn Hayne
by Michael Randazzo
19 September 2020, 09:00am
In a blow to both its prestige and fiscal health, this week USA Water Polo cancelled the 2020 National Junior Olympics (JOs) tournament. The decision, announced in a statement on Thursday, puts an end to USAWP's attempts to hold the world's largest youth polo tournament in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The loss of JOs—along with almost two-thirds of this year's regional and national events because of coronavirus concerns—presents a significant financial challenge for USAWP, the national governing body for polo in the U.S. Not only does the loss of competition impact event and merchandise revenue, the organization's membership is predicated on participation in events such as JOs, which in recent years has drawn hundreds of teams and thousands of participants and their parents.
It is the first time in memory that the tournament—held annually under different formats since 1936—has been cancelled. But, it wasn't for lack of effort; USAWP first postponed the tournament until health and travel concerns forced the elimination of one of the world's biggest youth athletic events.
Last April, it was announced that this year's JOs—originally scheduled for July 18-26—would be postponed until the fall. At that time, a decision was made to divide the tournament—which in 2019 saw almost 1,000 boy's and girl's teams descend upon California's SoCal region—into two sessions: one to be held in late November and one in late December.
That solution—with a session featuring 10U, 12U and 14U competition for boys, girls and mixed divisions, to take place from November 21-24 in and around Stanford University, and another for 16U, 18U boys and girls to take place December 27-30 in Irvine—was at best a band aid for USAWP's signature event.
Wait until next year (at least) for this celebration. Photo Courtesy: Catharyn Hayne
With the cancellation, the governing body for polo in America ensures that Covid-19 will have an enduring impact on the one of the country's most vital polo events. Not only does it short-circuit the competitive dreams of hundreds of age group clubs throughout the U.S., it also exposes the financial peril posed by the pandemic. Of 14 regional and national events planned for 2020; the JOs is by far the organization's largest and most lucrative.
In its most recent financial accounting, reflecting revenue and expenses from 2019, the organization brought in $2.6 million from all events. This represents 20% of the organization's $12.8 million budget, but does not include all merchandise sales, which was listed as $343,777 in 2019. A week of competitive play entices captive parents and players to seek souvenirs, making the Junior Olympics USAWP's most attractive sales event.
Dues from the organizations 50,000-plus members—which totaled $3.8 million last year—are driven by interest in JO participation, including regional qualification competition throughout the organization's 11 zones spanning the country's 50 states.
In addition to canceling JOs, Thursday's announcement stated that the 2020 Rock-tober, the PCA 12 & Under Classic and the 2020 Champions Cup were also cancelled. These join events previously furloughed, including the USA Masters Championship, the Men's and Women's Senior National Championships and the Fisher Cup, which has become the culmination of the USAWP's National League season.

This is in addition to the postponement of the 2020 Olympics, the premier event for the sport worldwide. Rescheduling the Tokyo Games to 2021 as a result of the coronavirus did not just blunt expectations of the U.S. men's and women's teams—in particular the American women, who are prohibitive favorites for a third-straight gold medal. An Olympic year also represents a fundraising bonanza for all U.S. governing sports bodies.
Unlike many other countries, the U.S. government does not provide financial support to its Olympic sports programs, meaning athletes and NGBs need to raise funds to sustain their athletic dreams.
For this minor—but passionately supported—Olympic sport, 2020 is ending on a sour note, one that will only improve with the much-anticipated roll-out of a Covid 19 vaccine next year.
The Other Forty Nine States
Water Polo is popular across the country but USAWP is based in SoCal. Sporting events are being played throughout the country, so why has there not been a return to play yet? Because California dictates what gets to happen for the entire country in this sport.
Reply to The Other Forty Nine States
Thank you for this comment. I can appreciate your perspective that USAWP — located in Irvine, CA —is biased when it comes to the current health crisis. I'd like to differ for two reasons. First, being based in New York City, it's only now (actually, at the end of this month) that indoor pools are being allowed to open (at 30% capacity). This decision has nothing to do w/sports and everything to do with health (whether you agree with it or not).
Second, coronavirus restrictions are entirely driven by individual states (and I won't delve into the political / health factors driving these decision). USAWP has (IMO) been pushing for MORE competition (BTW, I'll be posting a story about an outdoor tournament this weekend in Pittsburgh, PA — a welcome situation indeed).
My reasoning in reporting on the cancellation of JOs is not to chide USAWP; it's to point out the changed economic reality that the organization (and so many OTHER U.S. businesses) are now operating in. It seems to me that the health concerns for contact sports (even one that's played in a chlorinated – i.e. a Covid-killing – environment) may not fully return until a vaccine is widely available.

We now know who is going to be hosting the Oscars next year, and it's not exactly a huge surprise. Comedian Kevin Hart has been officially chosen for the role, and it will be his first time serving as the show's emcee. This follows earlier reports that the actor had been in talks with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences about hosting the ceremony. In response, Hart has publicly said he's happy to rise to the occasion to "make this year's Oscars a special one." The show will be produced for the first time by Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss, with the latter also serving as the director.
For the past two years, the Oscars ceremony had been hosted by late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, with Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd producing. Ratings have also been consistently declining for the broadcast, resulting in last year's record-low numbers of 26.5 million viewers. That certainly can't be attributed solely to Kimmel, with less and less people watching live TV broadcasts as technology advances. Still, with an all new creative team leading the program, the goal is still to try to steer that ship back in the other direction. It will be interesting to see if Hart taking over will help improve the ratings, or if overall interest in the Oscars is declining regardless of who may host the show.
Trying a new host isn't the only way the Academy is looking to make the kudocast more entertaining. Regarding complaints from viewers that the show always ran too long, it's been promised to be concluded within three hours. To help make this possible, many of the Oscar award winners won't be announced live on the show. Six to eight of the 24 overall categories will be announced to the live audience during commercial breaks to keep the flow going. Later in the show, excerpts from the award winners' acceptance speeches will be played, still letting TV viewers know who won each award. This news follows the nixing of a planned "popular" Oscar meant to recognize box office blockbusters, which was shelved due to the negative reaction it brought.
Hart seems to be an excellent choice to take on The Academy Awards. He has hosting experience dating back to 2011 when he hosted the BET Awards, followed by the MTV Video Music Awards a year later. Hart would later host the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber before co-hosting the MTV Movie Awards with Dwayne Johnson. Additionally, Hart has hosted three episodes of Saturday Night Live. During this time, the comedian has often spoken of his desire to one day host the Oscars, so this is basically a dream come true for Hart.
Next year is going to be a good one for Hart. In addition to hosting the Oscars, the actor will be appearing in Jumanji 3 and lending his voice to The Secret Life of Pets 2. With these movies likely to be successful, hopefully his stint at the Academy Awards will do just as well. The 91st Oscars will air on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 24. This information comes to us from The Hollywood Reporter.
