Cultural Melange in Aesthetic Practices
Edited by: Annjo Klungervik Greenall, Domhnall Mitchell
The process of globalization has left no corner of the world untouched. Although many studies use post-colonial theory to understand its large-scale effects, the contributors to this book show how such theory can be drawn on for productive use in other contexts, such as the Scandinavian. In doing so, they also rework the well-worn concept of "hybridity" to one of "cultural melange," creating a lens by which to take a broader view of the phenomenon: from Africa to Poland, from France to Norway, various forms of globalization processes have accelerated an interpenetration of cultures which takes place on a number of widely different cultural arenas. Using a variety of different textual and non-textual aesthetic practices - within literature, theater, and music - cultural and linguistic mixes are explored in a wide variety of areas, including "shotgun theater," travel literature, rap music, children's literature, and, last but not least, Leonard Cohen's songs. Oftentimes, translation - either in a metaphorical or a non-metaphorical sense - is seen to play an essential part, and the processes of mixing and blending are rarely seen as something anyone is passively giving in to. There is always a strong sense of agency, even in "merely" responding. As such, the book makes an important contribution to the sense of cultural m?lange as a creative process that opens up to multiple forms of participation and positive change.

"Okay, I'm ready…mineral," I said, hardly able to contain the excitement in my voice. She would never be able to guess this one.
She had turned on her side, away from me and I couldn't see her face. "Rohinidi, I said I'm ready…mineral, do you mind? We don't have much time."
'What's the good word' has always been a favorite of mine. If you and I were spending time together, chances are good that I would coerce you into playing it with me. It doesn't need anything, just your mind and at least one or more others to play it with. One thinks of a word and specifies only one thing – whether the word is an 'animal (anything animate, living or dead)', 'mineral (an object) or 'vegetable (botanical)'.
The others have twenty questions, including three guesses, to figure out what the word is. The questions have to be framed such that the answer is either a 'yes' or a 'no'. I play it even now, with the kid who lives in my home, all the time. He thinks of rock bands and I, of movie stars, specifically one movie star – Scarlett Johannsen. You know about my yen for Scarlett Johannsen, don't you? When it is the kid's turn to ask the questions, the first one always is,' is it Scarlett Johannsen?'
But let's not talk of the present. It's not erotic enough. Besides, this is supposed to be a nostalgic reverie, of events that happened, or so I think they did, 47 years ago.
Back at the lakeside grassy knoll, Rohini's shoulder sagged a bit. Thinking she might have dozed off, I shook her gently by her shoulder. She had one of her signature sleeveless banyans on and where my hand grasped her shoulder, it was bare and had a film of sweat over it. Kolkata in July is where the term 'being drenched in sweat' comes from.
I turned toward her, wet blades of grass lifting off the sloping bank of the lake and clinging to the back of my t-shirt. I was an inch away from her, my head resting on my outstretched right arm. There was the Dabur Amla, sweat and Ponds Dreamflower aroma about her that I instantly recognized. It should have turned me on but strangely, that afternoon it didn't.
On the back of her neck, slightly below her left ear, was a tattoo, about an inch in overall size. It was an anchor. I ran my fingertip on it and she stirred, reaching behind her and patting my hand. "Why an anchor?" I said.
She didn't stir. I snaked my free arm over her shoulder, feeling for her chin and cupping it in my palm. Her chin felt moist. Gently I began turning her face toward me. First her torso twisted and then she lifted up and turned around, so that her knees bumped gently against mine. Her eyes were slits, from the glare of the pale blue sky above, long eyelashes fluttering just a bit, making it a bit windy in there. She was crying. God, I loved this girl so. It was almost physical, a heaviness at the pit of my ribcage. In another ten hours, she would be leaving for the airport.
My aunt had really been relieved to see Rohini go. For her, Rohini's demeanor, her dress code and nearly everything else about her, had been wayward and scandalous. To Guludada and Ronudada, she had been nothing but a precocious girl who had a few loose screws on her head. As for Rohini, the welcome had worn off in the week and my aunt's home had turned into nothing more than a bed & breakfast joint, except that this B&B had a cute, funny boy living upstairs, the very sight of whom turned her on.
Until one Sunday afternoon, late July 1968, something happened that resulted in my being uprooted from my aunt's home and put in a boarding school, the La Martiniere for Boys, in faraway Lucknow.
Have you ever heard a woman tell you to 'love me with just your lips'? If you have, I hope you haven't refused the favor. I have yet to find a woman who doesn't enjoy some honest to good head and Rohini conformed to that stereotype. I have known plenty of men who say 'yuck' but don't listen to them. It is a thoroughly pleasurable carnal pursuit for both, you as well as your woman. Just make sure she washes first.
I heard those words for the first time, at the ripe age of 13, I am proud to announce. We were in the chather ghor, my little room on the rooftop, where Rohini had begun spending more and more time as the summer went by, ostensibly to help with my English Lit and History vacation assignments. She did help, of that there is little doubt. Why do you think I am such a well-rounded personality today?
Rohini was leaning on a pillow on the cot that stood at the corner by the wall and reading from the notes on Raja Rammohan Roy. She had one of her many sleeveless banyans on and a flowing skirt that should have covered her upto her ankles but had moved up well above her knees by the time Raja RMR was in college and worrying about emancipating women. Well, the one on my cot sure was emancipated.
I sat at my desk, which was right next to the cot, the two maybe just six inches apart. My head was turned toward her, my chin resting on my palm and my mind blank, unable to concentrate on the words that were coming out of her mouth. She must have sensed the effect that the sight of her was having on me, because suddenly she set the notes aside, swiveled around till she was laying crosswise on the bed, with her head on the far side, bent forward and jammed up against the wall. Her legs, from crotch down, were off the cot, her heels coming to rest on the edge of the table, their pink soles of her feet turned facing me.
Her move across the bed had hitched Rohini's skirt up even higher and I was discerning enough to realize that she had no underwear on. That's how I got my first glimpse of a vulva. I didn't know the word then of course. Relishing the consternation on my face, Rohini contracted and relaxed her muscles and it sort of pouted at me.
"Want a closer look?" Rohini was grinning now. She hooked her left heel around my neck and pulled me toward her. I was leaning too far forward and it was hurting, so I slipped off the chair and came down on my knees on the floor, by the bed. She slipped forward some more so I was now just inches away from her. She was all puffed up there, covered by a mass of curly pubic hair.
"This here is the clitoris,' said Rohini, tweaking the little knob that was nestled at the upper junction of the lips. It appeared flushed and purple, "and these are the vaginal lips and this groove here is the urethral sponge and here is the opening, the gates to heaven. Here, feel it, go ahead…**moan**. There, that wasn't so bad, was it?"
And that is how I met my first vaginal lips, the first urethral sponge and the very first of the many clitorises in my life. Should that have been clitori, instead of clitorises, you think? I hate bad grammar. In any case, it was a whole new world and that afternoon I felt the way David Livingstone must have felt when he spotted his first pygmy or the amazement with which Howard Carter regarded the door to King Tut's tomb.
"Do me, cutie, love me with your lips," breathed Rohini. She placed her palms on either side of my head and gently tugged, while at the same time she wound her legs over my shoulders and dragged my torso in. She was close and she smelled of Pears Sandalwood soap down there. She had prepared for this.
I began hesitatingly. There is no shame in admitting that I was scared. Hernan Cortès must have felt exactly the same way when he found himself at the gates of Tenochtitlan. Rohini flung her legs even wider now, her knees touching her chest. A low steady moan emanated from her parted lips, somewhat like a 'nnnggg,… there, yeah, nnngggg..there, there, no, no, there, yeah….mmoooooh…lower, yeah, there, oh yeah, that feels …nnnngggggood, don't stop.'
Those were words that I would have understood even if Rohini had spoken them in Swahili. She had slid down further now, her head thrown back so she was almost looking at the wall upside down. Her palms tightened around my head and I felt like a wayward silkworm with a Daniel Boone-like scout's zeal, going to town on the petals of a rose.
We were pulling and pushing quite a bit, making the study table heave and jerk. It was not long before Shakespeare, in the form of a paperback Macbeth with my name and roll number on it and the loose pages of my assignment, vacated the table-top in a hurry and came to rest, strewn all over the floor.
And that was the exact moment when Keshtokaka appeared at the door.

Ever since Apple released OS X Lion, we have been waiting for the companies that provide virtualization applications to catch up with its new features. First out of the gate is Parallels, the leading supplier of virtualization products for the Mac.
Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac not only integrates with many of the new features in Lion, such as Launchpad and full-screen apps, the folks at Parallels have also been tweaking the code to provide higher performance, both in the basic virtualization application and in graphics performance. The result is an easy-to-use virtualization app that is also fast and reliable.
Parallel Desktop 7 For Mac - Minimum Requirements
Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac has the usual set of minimum requirements, but also some interesting caveats, depending on how you're using the application.
Minimum Requirements
- Intel Core 2 Duo or better.
- 2 GB of RAM or better.
- 700 MB hard drive space for the basic application, plus additional space for each guest OS you plan to run.
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) or better.
Parallels Desktop 7 drops support for the original Intel Macs that shipped with Intel Core Solo and Core Duo processors. If you have one of the early Intel Macs, you'll need to stay with an earlier version of Parallels.
Parallels Desktop 7 adds support for running OS X Lion and OS X Lion Server as a guest OS. In order to use this feature, however, you must be running OS X Lion as the host OS for Parallels. You won't be able use Parallels Desktop 7 to try out Lion if you're running Leopard or Snow Leopard. That's a pity, although it isn't the fault of Parallels. Apple's Lion licensing agreement imposes the restriction by specifically stating that it's permissible to virtualize Lion or Lion Server, but only on a Mac that's running Lion as the host OS.
Parallel Desktop 7 For Mac - New Features
Parallels Desktop 7 is Lion friendly; in fact, you can say they are best buds. Parallels isn't just compatible with OS X Lion; it also takes advantage of many of Lion's new features, including full-screen support and using Launchpad to not only start up Parallels, but also to access all of the Windows apps you have installed on your Windows guest OS.
Parallels Desktop 7 is fully integrated with Mission Control. You can assign Parallels to individual desktops, as well as quickly switch between all of your open application windows. Parallels also supports multi-touch capabilities in Macs that have them.
But Lion friendliness is only part of what's new in Parallels Desktop 7. It also has a built-in store for purchasing a Windows license if you need one, dramatically improved battery life for Mac portable users, up to 1 GB of video memory, and perhaps best of all, an overall improvement in performance over Parallels Desktop 6, which, by the way, was our overall winner in last year's virtualization benchmark performance test.
Getting your game on with Parallels has never been better. Parallels Desktop 7 supports 3D graphics using DirectX9.0c/9Ex and Shader Model 3; it also supports 7.1 surround sound.
If you're new to Parallels Desktop, the latest version offers improved wizards for installing Windows, Linux, OS X Lion, and Lion Server as guest OSes.
Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac - Installation and Viewing Options
I received my copy of Parallels Desktop 7 the day it was released and quickly went about installing it. The installation process was painless, although if you currently use Parallels, it's important to note that Parallels Desktop 7 will remove the previous version of the application during the installation process. Also, you will need to update any existing guest OS you have to run with Parallels Desktop 7. This primarily means installing a new version of Parallels Tools in each guest OS. Once you move to Parallels 7, there's no easy way to revert to the previous version.
Before you become concerned about the upgrade process preventing you from going back, I have to say that I haven't found any reason whatsoever to return to the previous version. Parallels Desktop 7 is a sound upgrade that has yet to reveal any serious issues. In fact, I find its new features enjoyable and easy to use. That is saying a lot for me; I tend to slowly appreciate changes, but Parallels 7 is a change I like.
I fired up Parallels Desktop 7 with Windows 7 as the guest OS. Parallels retains the classic windowed system where each guest OS runs within its own window. This is my preferred way of running virtual machines, but for those of you who like a bit more integration, Parallels retains the Coherence view that allows the Windows desktop to become invisible, and each Windows application to operate in its own window on your Mac's desktop. The Coherence viewing method provides the illusion of Windows applications running directly on your Mac. The other standard view, Modality, retains the Windows desktop but makes it transparent and smaller. It's a great way to monitor ongoing Windows applications while working on your Mac.
The newest view is Full Screen. Full Screen view has actually been around for a while, but with Lion, Parallels can actually use a true full screen, where the Windows desktop completely takes over the display, leaving no hint at all that OS X is running. Parallels is the first app I have run where full-screen usage actually makes some sense.
Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac - Windows, Linux, and Lion
Parallels 7 supports a wide range of guest OSes, including Windows, various versions of Linux and UNIX, OS X Snow Leopard Server (but not Snow Leopard), Lion, and Lion Server. I was especially interested in running Lion and Lion Server within Parallels Desktop 7, but more on that in a moment.
One of the questions that Parallels seems to get quite often is, "I just bought Parallels; where is Windows stored?" In essence, customers assumed Parallels included a copy of Windows. Well, now, in a roundabout sort of way, it does, although not for free. Parallels embraced the idea of a built-in store, and now sells various versions of Windows directly to Parallels users. If you don't have a copy of Windows, you can purchase it through the Parallels application. Download the OS and Parallels will quickly configure and install it for you, all at the push of a button.
Parallels also lets you download and install the free versions of Google Chrome, Fedora, and Ubuntu, directly from within the Parallels application.
One of the newest features of Parallels is the ability to run OS X Lion and Lion Server as guest OSes. Parallels takes advantage of the Lion Recovery HD that is installed by default when you install Lion on your Mac. With just a click, Parallels uses the Recovery HD to install OS X Lion as a guest OS, letting you run a virtual version of Lion on your Mac. Virtualization of Lion is very handy for application developers, letting them test their apps without worrying about their Mac or its configuration. But it can also be helpful for anyone who likes to download tons of apps and try them out. With virtualization, you can test apps and then install only the ones you like directly on your Mac.
Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac - Conclusion
Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac is without a doubt the best release of Parallels I have seen. It provides plenty of new features and performance improvements to warrant upgrading, and although we haven't yet tested Parallels Desktop 7 head-to-head against other popular virtualization applications, it seems that Parallels will once again come out on top.
If you're looking for a virtualization app for your Mac, Parallels easily deserves consideration.

AkuZeku - negative space by fanfiction-fanaticWatch
©2009-2017 fanfiction-fanatic
I got hit by boredom a few nights ago and decided to mess around with one of my line arts out of randomness [link] that's the line art I messed with I really liked how the coloured lines turned out so I added to it more, deciding to add a black background, out of boredom mostly
Axel and Zexion (c) Square-Enix
Axel and Zexion (c) Square-Enix
SO CUTE I like how the black makes it stand out moreeee
yeah I really couldn't decide to leave it with the coloured lines or add black, so I did both since I actually got that bored but I do like this one much more
aaw1 kawaii!! <3
I would've actually picked RokuZeku myself, but I like this picture nonetheless.
ZekuRoku sounded very appealing actually, I've just got an Axel obsession at the moment, so that's why it ended up as AkuZeku instead
oh that's good! x3 i never even thought of a Xion Axel pairing! lmao
I used to love doing stuff like this with my lineart, too. Actually... I think I do have one in this club where I did. (But yours is a lot cleaner than mine, probably because mine was scanned from paper and I didn't do a great job getting rid of all the white dots that creep around scanned lineart.)
Looks good. ^_^
Looks good. ^_^

John Davis
John Davis
English navigator John Davis (ca. 1550-1605), though remembered chiefly as a northern explorer, sailed many seas, took part in naval fighting, and invented a nautical instrument.
John Davis, a Devonshire man, was friendly with the Gilbert and Raleigh families and at times sailed with members of both. One of the most proficient seamen of his day, he published both a practical and a theoretical work on navigation. The backstaff he invented for finding altitudes of heavenly bodies at sea (so named because the pilot using it turned his back to the sun) held the field for a century and a half.
Davis made his first exploration voyage in 1585 in search of the Northwest Passage to the Orient. He rounded Cape Farewell in Greenland, and went north to Godthaab (64°N) before crossing Davis Strait to Cumberland Gulf in Baffin Island, where the lateness of the season compelled his return to England. The next year he persuaded merchants, mostly in Devon, to send a larger expedition. He detached two vessels to explore Gilbert Sound and with a third continued investigation of Davis Strait without making a substantial discovery. Codfish caught and salted off Labrador helped defray costs of the expedition, but Davis found the Devon merchants unwilling to risk money for a new voyage.
Davis nevertheless acquired backing in London and in 1587 went again with three ships, though the pinnace Ellen, in which he sailed, made the only explorations. The result was no profit but considerable discovery, as Davis reached a point about 73°N on the west Greenland coast before turning across Davis Strait to explore Baffin Island further. Homeward bound, the Ellen visited the mouth of Hudson's Strait but did not penetrate it. When Davis reached England on Sept. 15, 1587, he had at least demonstrated the unlikelihood of anyone's pushing through to the Pacific in a single voyage.
This ended Davis's career as an explorer. He received unfair criticism for not having accomplished more; meanwhile, the great Spanish Armada was nearly ready to attack England. In the channel fighting against the Spaniards, Davis appears to have commanded the ship Black Dog, but his combat record is unknown.
Following the Armada's defeat, Davis took part in several voyages, but none involved discovery. He sailed with Thomas Cavendish in 1591 on an expedition intended to penetrate the Strait of Magellan, carry operations into the Pacific, and find the western outlet of the Northwest Passage. This came to nothing because of the bad condition of the ships; Davis did sight the Falkland Islands, though some historians believe these were earlier discovered by Amerigo Vespucci. His last expedition, to the East Indies under the orders of Sir Edward Michel-borne, resulted in his death at the hands of Japanese pirates in 1605.
Davis was married to Faith Fulford in 1582, but Faith proved faithless and with her paramour, a counterfeiter, brought false and unavailing charges against her accomplished husband, whom she had borne several sons.
Further Reading
Source accounts of Davis's voyages and excerpts from his writings are contained in The Voyages and Works of John Davis, published by the Hakluyt Society (2 vols., 1880). Convenient summaries of the voyages are available in Edward Heawood, A History of Geographical Discovery in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (1912). James A. Williamson, Age of Drake (1938; 5th ed. 1965), summarizes the explorer's career. Davis is also discussed in Samuel Eliot Morison, The European Discovery of America: The Northern Voyages (1971). □

Davis, John
John Davis, 1550?–1605, English navigator. He made his first voyage in search of the Northwest Passage in 1585, continuing the work of Martin Frobisher. On this voyage he discovered Cumberland Sound of Baffin Island and made explorations that prepared the way for his later voyages in 1586 and 1587. On the third exploration he sailed through Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and coasted down Baffin Island and across the east end of Hudson Strait. He clarified much of the confusion over the geography of that region. In 1591, Davis sailed S for the Straits of Magellan, and in 1592 he sighted the Falkland Islands. He later made voyages to the East Indies and was killed in a fight with Japanese pirates. A type of quadrant he invented was used for more than a century, and he wrote a manual, The Seaman's Secrets (1594).

Easily the best of the SNP's speakers, Nicola Sturgeon yesterday banished any doubts her party faithful may have had about recent poor poll figures and a barrage of criticism from all sides of the Unionist camp with a bravura performance in Aberdeen.
At her party's last conference before the referendum, the Deputy First Minister didn't just demand independence in her speech, she virtually ordered the voters to deliver it. After all, it was for their own good, she insisted.
Ms Sturgeon's main pitch was to a not unfamiliar section of the electorate – Labour voters in Central Scotland, but if I detected a note of desperation in her appeal, then I'm sure my nationalist friends will insist that it was all a figment of my imagination.
She had some fun at the expense of Lord Robertson, the former Nato secretary general, for his daft claim that an independent Scotland would be "cataclysmic" for the security of the West; I knew what he meant but he needs to choose his words more carefully. But it is castigation of the Tories that comes most naturally to Ms Sturgeon and she tore into their record over welfare, over unemployment and over Trident. And there is little doubt that her words yesterday will chime with some Labour supporters, as they have already.
But her attempt to make "Westminster" the evil villain of the piece wore especially thin in relation to what she said was its refusal to allow an independent Scotland to retain sterling in a currency union.
"As long as we stay with Westminster, they will allow us to benefit. But if we vote Yes they will decide what we are entitled to," she said.
But what she ignores is that it is not Westminster as an institution – a pile of stones and mortar – that will decide who gets the pound but the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Are they not entitled to a say in who shares their currency?
And why would they risk their economy by allowing a foreign country to share the pound? Ask the Germans if they're happy that Greece got a share of what became their currency – the euro.
There will be Labour voters who will warm to her attacks on the welfare cuts imposed by the Coalition, cuts that have contributed, she said, to the spread of food banks throughout Scotland. But although she was scathing about what she said was the Tory attitude to those they called "scroungers", she gave the game away somewhat when she said that she wanted a welfare state "that gives people a hand up and provides a safety net for the times when life knocks us down".
Exactly. A safety net, just as Beveridge envisaged, not a way of life.
She made much, too, of her personal success story, thanks to working – and working class – parents who supported her through school, university and qualification as a lawyer during what she called "the darkest days of Thatcherism."
It's a cheap shot, I know, but it was her party that helped usher in what she insists were those "dark days" by voting down the Callaghan Labour government. I was there. I saw them do it.
And whilst it may be an admirable objective for her to say that she wants every child to have the same chances she did, it is simply not possible for everyone to become Deputy First Minister on a huge six-figure-plus salary. That's taking even Sturgeon socialism a bit too far.
Still, these serious shortcomings apart, Nicola Sturgeon is the SNP's most formidable operator thanks in particular to her ability to home in on those issues that most perplex Labour voters.
She has appeal where Alex Salmond hasn't and never will have. Oh yes, and she can also make a very good speech.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani slammed President Barack Obama's ISIS policies over the weekend, saying U.S. ground forces need to be deployed immediately in Iraq and Syria to crush the Islamic State.
Giuliani, who has endorsed Donald Trump for president, said in a radio interview with John Catsimatidis that the United States will suffer more deaths if the Obama administration does not change its policies in Iraq and Syria and put boots on the ground to defeat ISIS.
According to Newsmax, the former mayor "also said the president had essentially conceded defeat against ISIS by using a timetable for withdrawing troops in Iraq and Afghanistan."

"I think they're emboldened now by Obama's lack of real response, his worry about killing civilians. I don't want to kill civilians, you don't want to kill civilians, but if these people are using civilians as shields, which they're doing, we've got to take them out," Giuliani said.
He compared the current situation with ISIS to the deadlock at the end of World War II when Japan refused to surrender, and President Harry Truman decided to use nuclear bombs to end the war.

"You know Truman ordered the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and that killed all civilians, but it saved a million American lives," he said.
"An American president has to think like that. He's got to think for America, that's who he has to protect first, then everybody else," Giuliani concluded.

Giuliani made his comments the same day Arab media in Syria reported that the Islamic State had regained positions in the area of Palmyra, the ancient city that reportedly was built by King Solomon and that ISIS lost to Bashar al-Assad's forces in May this year.
To get a better understanding of what the consequences are of Obama's refusal to use sufficient force against ISIS because of his worries about civilian deaths, one should read an investigative report by Christiaan Triebert published last week.
Triebert is a postgraduate student in the War Studies Department of King's College London and does field research in Syria and Iraq.
He investigated what exactly happened when two huge ISIS convoys left Fallujah in Iraq after the Iraqi army and Iranian-backed Shiite militias retook the city in June.

Triebert wrote that Eissa al-Issawi, the mayor of Fallujah, had obtained information that ISIS fighters would try to escape the outskirts of Fallujah and notified the Iraqi military.
There were two convoys, Triebert wrote, one north of the Euphrates river and one south of it.
He cited Arnaud Delalande of War is Boring, who interviewed Iraqi pilots who took part in the airstrikes on the convoy.
Between 9 and 10 p.m. on June 28, Iraqi military intelligence detected "the movement of numerous vehicles from Fallujah in a southwesterly direction along the road to Amiriyat Fallujah," Delalande reported.
Advertisement - story continues below
"Iraqi army helicopters took over the job of tracking the movement," he continued, saying that "around 10:00 that night, intelligence reports indicated Islamic State militants were fleeing Fallujah — seemingly explaining the huge convoy."
The Iraqis understood that this was a huge opportunity to finish off the Islamic State's forces in the crucial Anbar Province in Iraq.
So they contacted the U.S. Central Command of the joint task force of Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S. led-coalition battling ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
The Americans, however, refused to give permission for airstrikes on the ISIS convoy by U.S. warplanes.
The reason? The vehicles in the convoy of the jihadist organization could carry civilians, most likely the wives and children of the ISIS terrorists.
After the U.S. denied their request for airstrikes on the convoy, Iraqi pilots took the initiative and called representatives of the Iraqi government who gave permission for the airstrikes. The Iraqi pilots reported that the convoy consisted of more than 400 vehicles and that some of the vehicles were civilian.
Only after Iraqi Apache helicopters destroyed half of the convoy and killed scores of ISIS fighters did the Combined Joint Task Force send in some U.S. jets, instructing them not to attack the part of the convoy that might have carried civilians.
A similar incident took place in the desert near Ramadi early in 2015 when the Islamic State paraded a massive convoy including U.S.-donated minesweepers to celebrate the conquest of the Iraqi city. In that case, too, the U.S.-led coalition did nothing to destroy the convoy.
ISIS has lost 12 percent of the territories under its control in Syria and Iraq this year, the British think tank IHS reported on Sunday.
"As of July 4, 2016, the Islamic State controls roughly 68,300 square kilometers in Iraq and Syria," the report said.
The IHS report led to a flurry of optimistic media reports, but Joby Warrick, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the book Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS, warns that the Jihadist organization is metastasizing and its threat won't diminish anytime soon. The world will be engaged in the war against the Islamic State for a very long time, Warrick says.
His assessment is shared by Hassan Hassan, a researcher for the Chatham House political think tank in Washington.
Hassan made mincemeat of optimists like Secretary of State John Kerry, who has said that the current wave of suicide attacks by ISIS is a sign that the organization is desperate.
Some people have suggested that the uptick in ISIS terror attacks "is a sign of the group's desperation and weakness. In fact, it demonstrates its strength and long-term survival skills," Hassan wrote in an article Monday, adding that the Islamic State anticipated the setbacks in the battlefield.
"The threat is not going away," he wrote. "The group's ultimate goal remains unchanged: control of the Muslim world. The apocalyptic idealists who form the core of ISIS believe that they are ordained by God to accomplish this. They will change their tactics as often as they need to in order to get closer to that goal."
Hassan concluded by citing ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, who has said that losing towns or territory does not mean ISIS will be defeated.
"No, true defeat is losing the will to fight," al-Adnani said in May.

what does the RCG think about NK?
also what do you guys class yourselves as (i.e. Trotskyist or whatever)
Yes its between the cpgb ml or WPRM but the second one seems more of an organization than a party.
Thanks amigo, i saw one of your posts stating you had just left a political party, are you planning on joining another?
hey man, just wanted to say bushmaster is full of shit, he totally misinterpreted what red was saying.
basically red was on kasama and he and a few others chat on yahoo also, bushmaster told us that you were on some right wing forum and that you were responsible for red being arrested which is not true and was unrelated.
Red said as a joke Oh no warn the comrades at redleft especially radical my favouraite and bushmaster being an absolute moron took it seriously.
Considering red said he was contributing to a paper with you i do not see why you would trust some idiot over a comrade you know.
Anyway peace dude.
The user BOOTS BERGEN BUSHMASTER has informed me that you are in fact a reactionary spy passing off my contact details to right-wingers. Apparently the information came directly from RAF, who has been posting on the Kasama forums. I hope this isn't true or I may have to purge your ass.
thanks for the blog help comrade
Cheers comrade.
Thanks for visiting, Comrade ... and welcome to RevLeft.
Hey Comrade, I'm not sure how many paying members we have as I'm still quite new to the Party, but along with members we also have activists and Comrades who do not pay membership dues for various reasons. To put it into perspective, there were well over one hundred Comrades at the celebration of the 1917 revolution last year, all of whom were members or involved with the Party in some other way. If you would like to come along to the celebration this year, you would be more than welcome, unfortunately Harpal Brar won't be there as he has been invited to a similar event being held by the Party in Brazil, but it will still be a great night, Bob Crow is going to be speaking there, and Comrades from MLKP and DPRK are also confirmed to be in attendance.

Friday Night Lights ESPN
July 13, 2011 by Post Team
Friday Night Lights ESPN, "Friday Night Lights" is one of the most acclaimed television series by critics in the air right now, although its audience disconcertingly low. He ends his fifth and final season on NBC this week (the end of the series and aired on DirecTV in February), and trust us … you morn. Not only because it is the last we see of Taylor, Tim Riggins, and our QB1-that-could, Matt Saracen – but because it is the perfect farewell to the characters we've loved for the past five years.
If you missed five years of Taylor, Texas, and tears, you have the opportunity to experience the brilliance on ESPN Classic and the new channel focused on Longhorn Texas. Technical careers begin on July 21, but the television the first two episodes tonight (Tuesday, July 12) to welcome ESPN Dillon.
"We see this as an opportunity to deliver the series to a new audience," the network said in a statement.
The series was distributed earlier in ABC Family, but was removed from the schedule after only one month due to low ratings. We hope the numbers work for ESPN, because they want to live in a world where this show is not airing in some capacity.

New construction industry project to increase societal resilience to disasters
Experts from Europe and South Asia have joined together in a new project funded by the European Union to address current and emerging skill and knowledge requirements in the construction industry aimed at increasing societal resilience to disasters.
The project, calledCollaborative Action towards Disaster Resilience Education (CADRE), will improve the quality and relevance of higher education through active cooperation between higher education institutes and partners from outside academia, including construction professional and local, national, and international bodies and social partners.
CADRE, supported by an EU grant worth £353,246, will run for three years and is led by University of Salford's Centre for Disaster Resilience.The Salford team is working in conjunction with the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (Switzerland), Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia), Vilnius Gediminas University of Technology (Lithuania) and Northumbria University (UK). These four European-based institutions are joined by two partners from Sri Lanka who will bring a much needed international perspective to the project: the University of Moratuwa and the Federation of Local Government Associations Sri Lanka.
The team aims to establish a framework for industry, community and university integration to address societal concerns, and to develop an innovative professional doctoral programme which integrates professional and academic knowledge to address disaster risk. The team will go on to create world-class curricula and modules to support the programme.
The project is contributing to the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) 'Making Cities Resilient' campaign. The campaign advocates widespread commitment by local governments to build resilience to disasters, increase national government support to cities to strengthen local capacities and to develop global goals that are applicable for all cities.
For further information on the CADRE project, contact Professor Dilanthi Amaratunga at email@example.com or visit the website at www.disaster-resilience.net/cadre.
The CADRE project receives financial assistance from the European Union. The associated activities and publications are the sole responsibility of the CADRE consortium and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union.

For example, a tiny speck of paint from a satellite dug a pit in a space shuttle window nearly a 1/4 in. wide.
In 1996, only 2 years after it went up, part of a Pegasus rocket made the most space debris by a spacecraft's destruction. It created a cloud of 300,000 pieces bigger than 4 mm, 700 of which were big enough to be catalogued. This event doubled the Hubble Space Telescope's collision risk.Interesting Facts
The "most dangerous garment in history" orbited with a speed of 28,000 km/h for one month in 1965. Edward White, a Gemini 4 astronaut, lost this glove during the 1st American space walk.
The Mir space station sent more than 200 objects into space in its first 10 years of operation. Most of them were garbage bags.
In June 2000, the total number of trackable space objects included 90 space probes, 2,671 satellites and 6,096 pieces of space junk.More Facts…

As you may know already, last week we announced you that the Ferrari FF and the Lamborghini Aventador were sold out for the first year of production. But, according to our sources, it appears that things go even further and that the Lamborghini Aventador is sold out until 2013. That's right folks, the latest 'bull' from Lamborghini promises to be a best-seller, although the manufacturer announced that the production of the Aventador will stop when sales will reach 4000 units.
Still, we do believe that the open-top version of the Aventador will be on the wish list of many billionaires around the world. Regarding the coupe version which was unveiled few weeks ago at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, this is powered by an impressive 6.5-liter V12 engine delivering 515 kW / 700 hp and 690 Newton meters (509 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm.
According to Lamborghini the total weight of the car is only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 lb) and the V12 engine can push it from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds and to a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).
Furthermore, the engine is mated to the all-new ISR transmission, unique among road-going vehicles as it can guarantee a shifting time of just 50 milliseconds.
Regarding the pricing, the all-new Lamborghini Aventador 700-4 will cost you: GBP 201.900,00 in the UK (suggested retail price taxes excluded); €255.000 in Europe (suggested retail price taxes excluded); $379.700 in North America (suggested retail price – GGT included); RMB 6.270.000,00 in China (suggested retail price taxes included); YEN 39.690.000,00 in Japan (suggested retail price taxes included).
Lamborghini designers sought inspiration from advanced aeronautics technology, a field focused on dynamics and speed, for the continued development of their brand's design language. Specifically, inspiration is derived from the fastest and most responsive aircraft in the world. As a result, the brand's new design language is both extremely accurate and technically superior as showcased in their impressively sharp and exceptionally functional designs. The car's stunning visual movement is attributable to the attractive interplay of light and shadows created by defined lines along with taut surfaces. The forerunners of this design are identified as the Reventón, which is a limited edition work of art, and the Sesto Elemento, also known as the 'technology demonstrator'. The first in the Lamborghini production car series that embodies this philosophy is the Aventador.
The weight of the Aventador is focused on the vehicle's vertical axis. This follows the concept of mid-engines wherein dynamics is optimized and inertia is reduced. Lamborghini pioneered in mid-engine construction with its renowned Countach and revolutionized racing technology by bringing it to the road. With the Aventador, Lamborghini emphasizes the mid-engine design creating a figure that allows power to be concentrated on its rear axis.
Efficient aerodynamics is key
Aerodynamic efficiency is the top priority for an exceedingly powerful automobile's body shell design. Particularly, optimum airflow is necessary to ensure absolute stability of the Aventador at all speeds while also ensuring optimized cooling for its engine. From the front spoiler of the Aventador to its rear diffuser, every aerodynamic element is integrated into its body shell form. The optimized, flat underbody plays an important role.
Its rear spoiler can be deployed and electronically controlled. When the car is at rest, the spoiler lies flat within the rear section. When the car is in motion, it can either tilt to an angle of 4 degrees, which is optimal for high speeds, or 11 degrees for mid-range speeds. The former assists in directional stability and the latter provides greater downforce for optimal handling and stability. Using dynamic parameters, the car will calculate the correct tilt angle.
Remarkable proportions, enhanced air intakes
The Lamborghini Aventador's proportions create a remarkable first impression. It has an impressive width of 2.26 meters (or 88.98 in.), its length is 4.78 meters (or 188.19 in.), and stands up to 1,136 meters (or 44.72 inches) high. The widely spaced headlights and air intakes further emphasize the impression of width.
The bull insignia of the Lamborghini graces the Aventador's front, which is incredibly low and looks like an arrow. The insignia is located at both the point of the arrow and the car's centerline, which runs through the rest of its body. The air guides are enhanced further by polished black frames and are effectively profiled. For daytime running lights, bi-xenon headlamps are grouped with LED lights and indicators, which are located beneath hexagonal casings. LED light guides wrapped around the primary headlamp forming a Y provide the daytime running light. Additional LEDs provide the indicator with a light source.

Law said he didn't remember letters Alleged victims of now-defrocked priest John Geoghan reacted with disbelief after Cardinal Bernard Law said he didn't remember letters accusing Geoghan of sex abuse and complaining about his transfer from parish to parish.
"I found that the cardinal had some selective amnesia," said alleged victim Mark Keane, who heard Law's testimony during a deposition Wednesday.
The cardinal's deposition was ordered in a lawsuit filed by 86 people who say Law and the Boston Archdiocese failed to protect youngsters from Geoghan, who has been accused of sexually abusing more than 130 children over three decades.
Law insisted he relied on the advice of doctors and subordinates when he approved the transfer of Geoghan, who was convicted in January of molesting a boy and is serving nine to 10 years in prison.
The deposition, scheduled to continue Friday and Monday, was held behind closed doors. Transcripts were released after morning and afternoon sessions.
The rare deposition of a high-ranking church leader was ordered after the archdiocese last week backed out of a settlement with the Geoghan victims that would have been worth up to $30 million.
Phil Saviano, head of the New England chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said he has low expectations for the depositions.
"I think it's really significant, and he certainly should be deposed, but I'm not hopeful that there's going to be earth-shattering information exposed," he said.
The deposition began with the cardinal's attorney, Wilson Rogers Jr., making a standing objection to the questioning, saying, "The inquiry into the inner workings of the church was inappropriate."
Law later testified that he didn't recall reading letters about Geoghan's behavior, and said he was told by doctors that Geoghan was not a threat.
He specifically said he did not remember a letter from Margaret Gallant, a relative of seven alleged Geoghan victims who was upset that the church gave Geoghan another chance at a parish in Boston. Nor did he recall Bishop John D'Arcy's letter saying Geoghan was unfit to be reassigned.
But Law said he recognized his own handwriting on a note forwarding one of Gallant's letters to Bishop Thomas Daily, one of his subordinates, with the instructions, "Urgent, please follow through."
In the 1984 letter, Gallant alleged that Geoghan had abused seven people at a Boston parish.
Law emphasized he relied on the judgment of others in decisions concerning Geoghan
Law emphasized he relied on the judgment of others in decisions concerning Geoghan. He has said he was prompted to assign Geoghan to a new parish on the advice of two doctors, even though both lacked proper credentials in sex abuse matters and one had been accused in a lawsuit of molesting one of his patients.
"I'm sure that medical assurance was given," Law said. "Whether it was subsequently put in writing and in an earlier form given orally, I cannot say.
"But I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this letter would never have been put before me for a signature had we not had the assurance of someone competent to give that assurance that this assignment was safe."
Law said sexual abuse is a "gravely sinful act."
Attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who represents the alleged Geoghan victims, said it's "astounding" that Law didn't recall the warnings about Geoghan.
"He just seemed very, very sad but yet he wouldn't admit what I believe is the truth, in that he knew what was going on," Garabedian said.
Archdiocese spokeswoman Donna Morrissey defended Law's testimony.
"Cardinal Law cooperated fully and answered all the questions asked of him," she said in a statement.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs spent much of a two-hour afternoon session questioning Law on the collapse of the settlement with alleged Geoghan victims.
Attorney William Gordon questioned the council's decision to inform the media of its rejection of the deal before the alleged victims.
Law said he and his advisers decided they wanted to get the information out quickly. But in hindsight, he acknowledged he could have handled it differently.
"It's part of what I have come to experience as an exceedingly painful, complicated mess," Law said.
Although not optimistic about the deposition, Saviano said victims were relieved with the recent arrests of retired priests Paul Shanley and Ronald Paquin. Both men were charged with child rape.
"Resolution for us would be the cardinal resigning," he said. "Unfortunately, we have to take what we can get."

Georgia has played Colorado only once - Sept. 23, 2006 in Sanford Stadium in a narrow 14-13 victory before 92,746 fans.
The Buffaloes actually led 13-0 and the Bulldogs rallied to win in the fourth quarter to eke out a one-point win.
Georgia quarterback Joe Cox, then a redshirt freshman, came off the bench to throw two touchdown passes. He hit fullback Brannan Southerland on a 23-yard pass midway through the fourth quarter, and Brandon Coutu kicked the PAT.
Cox connected with tight end Martrez Milner on a 20-yard pass for the second score, and Coutu split the uprights with only 45 seconds on the clock.
Colorado actually outgained Georgia, 313 yards to 282.
Colorado is a member of the Big 12 Conference, and has a 2-1 record to date this fall. The Buffaloes have defeated Colorado State and Hawaii, and lost to Cal.
Next year, along with Utah, they will form the newly coined Pac-12 Conference.
Colorado's football program promotes this game's contest as a "Blackout" game and is encouraging their fans to wear all black.
Colorado had a bye last week and has had two weeks to prepare for the Bulldogs.
Georgia does not have Colorado on any future schedules yet made.

15. Leigh Halfpenny – 7
Although not quite as successful as his previous outings in the tournament, but this was further evidence that he has a long-term future in the Welsh number fifteen shirt. The 22-year-old's score in injury time was a fitting end to Wales's World Cup campaign.
14. George North – 7
Despite a lack of space, the youngster still impressed with his busy work rate. His last gasp tackle on Ashley-Cooper to prevent a near certain try, epitomised Wales's attitude at this tournament.
13. Jonathan Davies – 6
Unfortunately Davies was never given the chance to demonstrate his ability. Tackled solidly and contributed some decent clearing kicks.
12. Jamie Roberts – 6
A case of 'after the law mayor's show' for a player who has been pivotal to Wales's success in New Zealand. Carried with the normal gusto, but was well contained by the Wallaby defence.
11. Shane Williams – 7.5
In his last truly meaningful outing in test rugby, he was clearly keen to go out on a high note. Looked to impose himself wherever possible, had did so very well considering the lack of space he had. Demonstrated his football credentials with the opening Welsh try.
10. James Hook – 4
It is always sad to see a player of such talent, looking so out of sorts. Hopefully a spell of games playing outside-half for his new club, Perpignan, will see a return to the form of previous years.
9. Mike Phillips – 6.5
The number nine has really returned to former during the World Cup, however this was in the main a fairly average to mediocre showing, albeit with a handful of moments of real class.
1. Gethin Jenkins – 6
Not as bigger presence as in previous outings in New Zealand, but still made his presence felt. Only let down by his part in a Welsh scrum that creaked.
2. Huw Bennett – 6
As committed as ever, his throwing into the lineout was markedly improved from the French game.
3. Paul James – 5
James proved himself a poor stand in for Adam Jones, being out done at the scrum, giving away crucial penalties in the process.
4. Luke Charteris – 7
Wales's most improved player of the tournament put in another massive shift, both in defence and at the lineout.
5. Bradley Davies– 6
A solid evening for Davies, who consistently got Wales over the gain line, and functioned well in the lineout.
6. Danny Lydiate – 6.5
Another hard-working performance, only tarnished by the blindside losing the ball on a handful of occasions.
7. Toby Faletau – 7
Despite his inexperience, the back rower passed his baptism of fire as an openside. Perhaps without as much impact as in previous games, but still his work in defence and at the breakdown was notable.
8.Ryan Jones – 8
Returned to the Welsh starting line up to produce an excellent all round showing. Turned Australian ball over several times and carried effectively.
16. Lloyd Burns (For Bennett, 70) – 6
Clearly relished another chance to show he can cut at this level, even if it was only for ten minutes.
17. Ryan Bevington (For Paul James, 64) – 6
Doubts over whether he can cut it in test rugby remain, but the Bridgend product showed some promise in his short time on the pitch.
18. Alun Wyn Jones (For Luke Charteris, 53) – 7
Has had a great World Cup, and rose to the occasion once more, giving Wales a much needed boost in the final quarter, with some energetic contributions.
19. Andy Powell (For Dan Lydiate, 64) – 7
Warren Gatland may perhaps regret not introducing Powell earlier. The Sale-bound back rower was at his powerful best in the closing stages.
20. Lloyd Williams (For Mike Phillips, 64) – 5
Having only made his test debut in the final Welsh warm-up game in August, the 21-year-old has been on a very steep learning curve. The pressure looked to have got to him in this one, struggling to make an impression.
21. Stephen Jones (For James Hook, 51) – 6.5
After an ugly unenforced error with his first touch, the veteran ten grew in confidence as the match wore on, providing his usual accurate kicking out of hand along with some needed spark.
