Secularism through the agesOct 08th, 2014
Indian secularism is based on the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family). Over two millennia ago, Emperor Ashoka declared that all his subjects, irrespective of creed, were his children and must be treated alike. Swami Vivekananda's soul-stirring address at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, 1893, emphasised the unity of all religions. They were like different rivers flowing into the ocean.

In contrast, the ongoing Incheon Games has 13,000 athletes taking part in 36 sports, including Asian sports such as kabaddi and sepak takraw, 12 more than the Olympic Games.

There is a slow but systematic attempt to change India's name from Bharat to Hindustan — playing up the word "Hindu" in Hindustan and trying to repackage it as the abode of the Hindus. B.R. Ambedkar and his team that drafted the Constitution of India consciously avoided the term "Hindustan" as they could foresee its implications in a land that takes pride in its diversity.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first Independence Day speech, showed himself a master orator, raising issues that had an instant audience connect. He also coined succinct phrases which will find their way to headlines, photo-captions and tweets — referring to himself as the "first servant" of India, to "zero defect, zero effect" manufacturing, to e-governance as "easy, effective and economic governance", and exhorting foreign capital to "make in India" and export as "made in India".

The most direct way by which the Union Budget affects the common man is through changes in tax rates — both direct and indirect.

Convulsions in pop pressDec 29th, 2012
One of the most tumultuous occurrences in the history of British media took place this year when some journalists working at the highly successful tabloid, News of the World , were accused of using underhanded means for news gathering.
The election that isn'tDec 07th, 2012
In the next 10 days, Gujarat will go to polls, ostensibly to elect a legislative Assembly, but in reality to put a stamp of approval on its chief minister for over a decade, Narendra Modi. The only suspense is whether it does so with absolute conviction, that is, with a clear majority of votes cast, or through a plurality.

Children of lesser parentsDec 06th, 2012
Once again, we are furiously debating parental abuse. A court in Norway has convicted an Indian couple for allegedly maltreating their seven-year-old son. This is the second time that Indian parents have fallen foul of Norwegian parenting laws. A furious war of words has broken out about good parenting.

Bank of Ireland stock: IRE bearish in the short term as 2013 bull run stalls; support at 5.5
- Details
- Category: Share Price Drivers
- Published on Friday, 25 January 2013 14:35
- Written by Will Peters
A look at the technical indicators guiding IRE's stock price action following two days of declines shows a ratio of three bullish indicators to 3 bearish indicators which suggests to us that the recent downturn is certainly not cemented into the stocks technical setup.
IRE's Triple Moving Average Crossover (4-day 9-day 18-day) remains in bullish territory
The 2 to 6 week support level is seen at 5.50.
UK scene: Will Bank of England print more money
Back in the UK speculation is rife that the Bank of England is set to print more money in a bid to hold up the under-performing economy.
Today's GDP report could lead to speculation that the Bank of England (BoE), will increase its quantitative easing (QE) programme.
QE is a process that basically involves printing more money in a bid to raise economic activity.
The negative side-effect is that an increased amount of sterling in circulation will reduce the strength of the pound, and this explains why traders sold the pound against the dollar after the news was released.
Reporting season continues; Netflix reports a profit
The US reporting season continues to provide the surprises for investors.
Netflix closed 42 pct higher yesterday after it upgraded its expected revenue from $969 million up to just over $1 billion, and this has been achieved by US domestic subscriptions edging higher from 28.5 million up to 29.2 million.
"Netflix was, until yesterday, one of those stocks that people either loved or hated, with not many in the middle ground. It is the largest internet provider of movies and TV programmes, covering 40 countries around the world, with over 33 million subscribers," says Alastair McCaig at IG Index in London.
Over the last five years there has been a marked shift in the demographics of the TV- and movie-watching public. Netflix had slowly been picking up market share, but was yet to really make the transition from promising company to profitable company.
Yesterday's announcement that the firm expected to break even in the first quarter is a watershed moment for any company.
"Seeing Netflix clear this hurdle has prompted the markets re-asses its share price, and the resultant jump up by 42% last night saw it close at $146.91. It is difficult to gauge how well the share price might now run, but the first major target will be to fill the gap from September 2011, when in the space of a week the share price dropped from $208.70 down to $128.50," says McCaig.

Wow these computers are slow. It gets a heart attack to just load up a video.
I wonder how much of a heartattack it gets from uploading one?
......cuz that's what I'm trying to do.
I didn't finish some videos last night due to them taking eternity to upload in the first place, and because I was hangin' out with Abu. :p She's first, you guys be last.
I'm planning on recording a bunch of games around this week... hopefully I have time for it.
- I definitely want to record Abu and I playing the Warriors. Because as awesome as that game was, not everyone tried it. And that's a sad story. :p
- I'm not sure if I should record Beat Down. I mean, I liked that game, but not everyone did. It's a fun concept, though.
- ... I wish I could record my worst crashes in GTA4, but... it's impossible to turn back time. :laugh: Trust me, some of them are awful!
- Oooh! I'd like to record some Crackdown action! That game was known mostly for its "Halo 3 demo", but it was so much more than that! :D
- If I still had City of Villains, I'd totally video me just messing around in there. Mastermind = best way to have fun without trying!
- What else? I suppose when Abu gets her new DS, I'll try to record a Rocket Slime tank battle with her! ...if I can. o_O That's gonna' be tough.
- What else? ...ah yes, Halo 3 vids. Could always show favorites! :D
- I could try to show some LBP stages that I made... but I'm always afraid to compete mine against the best on the net... :( Cuz I'll lose so bad!
- Ooh! Board Game Top Shop! There's literally no videos on the net on gameplay! Abu and I could totally show off some.
- ...and... umm... I think I'll stick with those and try to choose more later.
:p Yeah, love messing around with cameras whenever I've got 'em.
Abu's planning to make a vid, too. She plans on making a show when she "gets her dollies". :laugh: ... :p I don't have the balls to post something as embarrassing as that.
:p Though I did used to do that with my toys back in the day. :laugh: Those were awesome videos! Especially when I made those hammer-toys fight while Gladiator-music was playing in the background. :laugh:

Sound quality is terrible
Skype is pretty processor intensive (moreso than iChat audio chatting). When it doesn't have enough processing power, the sound gets distorted. I don't know how fast all the Powerbooks are, but I know someone who uses a processor-upgraded Powerbook Pismo and it does work fine but only as long as he doesn't have any other programs running while he uses Skype.

This post summarizes what I've learned from various sources about making acceptance or black-box tests maintainable. This topic is of great interest to me because I believe in the benefits that acceptance tests can bring (such as living documentation) but I'm also very much aware that it is all too easy to create an unmaintainable monster whose weight eventually crushes you. So the question is how to navigate the minefield to get to the golden apple?

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.George Bernard Shaw
Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent.Louis D. Brandeis
It is difficult to discern a serious threat to religious liberty from a room of silent, thoughtful schoolchildren.Sandra Day O'Conner
The notion of religious liberty is that you cannot be forced to participate in a religious ceremony that's not of your choosing simply because you're out-votedIra Glasser
Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotismBarry Goldwater
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.Aristotle
The principle of liberty and equality, if coupled with mere selfishness, will make men only devils, each trying to be independent that he may fight only for his own interest. And here is the need of religion and its power, to bring in the principle of benevolence and love to men.John Randolph
Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable and others extremely difficult.Samuel Johnson
Liberty, as it is concieved by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behaviour.Mary Mccarty
The sun of liberty is set; you must light up the candle of industry and economy.Benjamin Franklin
The love of liberty with life is given, And life itself the inferior gift of Heaven.John Dryden
A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.Joseph Addison
Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue; and a nation will be great in both always in proportion as it is free.Thomas Jefferson
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.Patrick Henry
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.George Washington
Though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expireThomas Paine
Liberty is a different kind of pain from prison.T.S. Eliot
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.Edmund Burke
Liberty, then, is the sovereignty of the individual, and never shall man know liberty until each and every individual is acknowledged to be the only legitimate sovereign of his or her person, time, and property, each living and acting at his own costJosiah Warren
When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.Thomas Paine
The liberty of speaking and writing guards our other liberties.Thomas Jefferson

Charlotte Ronson's in a Purple Haze
The Show: Charlotte Ronson
Hair: Jeanie Syfu for TRESemmé
Makeup: Gilbert Soliz for Sephora
Nails: Fleury Rose for Color Club
The Vibe: Uber-chic women of the '70s. "In that past, the Ronson girl has always had this natural kind of worn, gritty, edginess to it," said Gilbert Soliz, lead makeup artist from Sephora. "This time, she's a bit more polished, more refined." Indeed, it was readily apparent that this season featured a more grown-up gal, complete with a sophisticated red lip and a gorgeous super-dramatic smoky purple eye (achieved using Ronson's new Dani palette, of course).
But the love affair with purple didn't stop at the makeup; it extended to the nails, too. Color Club created a custom dusty grape hue for the occasion, which closely matched several pieces in the collection. To give the manicure some edge (it was a Charlotte Ronson show after all), nail technicians added black to the tips to create a cool and unusual French manicure.

Questions Surround Muslim Brotherhood's Stance on Israel
By Jspace Staff on 4/9/2012 at 4:44 PM
Categories: Politics, Israel, World
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party in Egypt has said it has no plans to re-examine a 33-year-old peace treaty with Israel. The Camp David accords have been a major concern for Israelis and the Diaspora as the world waits to see who will be elected president of the North African nation's new government.
"We will not put the Camp David accords, or any other agreement Egypt has signed, to a national referendum," said Abd Al-Maujood Al-Dardiri, a member of the Egyptian parliament.
Khairat Al-Shater, the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for the presidency, is predicted to win the post during the country's May elections. A delegation of the party is currently in the US on the recommendation of Al-Shater, in order to allay fears that the new government will move away from its allies in the US. Ousted leader Hosni Mubarak had a strong working relationship with America and Israel.
An idea to conduct a national referendum to review the Camp David accord policies has been shied away from of late. However, a top aide to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has warned that all may not be as it seems.
"The leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood keep declaring, 'We want peace,'" said Amos Gilad. "I am not so sure."
Addressing Israeli think-tank the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Gilad added, "All these developments, we will need to look at them very carefully. Because they can declare they are committed to peace but they can find excuses to undermine it."
The Brotherhood has a history of criticizing Israel's relations with Palestine, going so far as to expel its ambassador from Israel last month. In a speech last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed rising concerns that Egypt was moving away from its relationship with the Jewish state, saying, "The Muslim Brothers will not show mercy to us, they will not give way to us, but I hope they will keep the peace in Egypt."
He added: "It is important for us, but I think it is also important for Egypt."

Stardust is a 2010 short film by Belgian artist and filmmaker Nicolas Provost which consists almost exclusively of stolen shots and hidden camera footage taken in Las Vegas during a trip. Provost take those clips of random people engaging in conversations, making phone calls, watching a screen or merely gazing into space, edits them using cinematic language and combine them with music and dialogue bits from films like Heat and Die Hard to infuse scenes from everyday life with tension and suspense and ultimately to manipulate the audience into generating coherent narratives and developing characters out of nothing.
In addition to the anonymous cast of casinos staff members, clients and passersby, Stardust also boasts a surreal lineup of Hollywood heavyweights with cameos from Jack Nicholson, Jon Voight, Danny Trejo and Dennis Hopper (Stardust being his last recorded footage as it turns out).
"How I managed to film them all is something I like to keep secret for the sake of the concept of the film," says Provost. "The viewer prefers the experience of being intrigued to knowing the mystery, but I can say that I met them and filmed them myself. It is not found footage. I thought that blending Hollywood stars with real people would be an interesting thing to do. But it is also my tribute to them, because they have offered me so much inspiration and love for cinema."

I was reading a book by Yogi Ramacharaka a few days ago, and a particular part of it held my attention.
It was about the "why" of everything. As in, the Big Why: why do we exist? why are we separated spheres of consciousness? why the seeming infinite progression upward?
In effect, it was asserting that the "why" can never be answered, and that any attempt to answer it is more or less attributing human characteristics to the Infinite. Which is, of course, a fallacy- one that is…Continue

Todo Menos El Dolor
Las Esposas
La Vida Es Una Caja Hermosa
La Cancion De Alejandra
The hazy horizon of Los Angeles. Since it iproves perpetually unpredictable, it is not odd when one finds their co-conspirators in disparate locales, often smoothing out the vague and jagged status quos that are only a figment of our own minds anyway. Enter KIMONO KULT, who's initiates include current and ex- members of Mars Volta, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bosnian Rainbows, Swahili Blonde, Le Butcherettes, Dante Vs. Zombies, and Raw Geronimo – all who are adamant that this is not some "all-star" vanity project. In fact, one cannot even SEE Kimono Kult - one can only HEAR Kimono Kult (in theory with the true definition of OCCULT as "something hidden").
A new project recorded, produced and shot-called by Neurotic Yell CEO and Swahili Blonde mastermind Nicole Turley, Kimono Kult synthesizes all the signature styles and influences from a cream of crop wrecking crew she has at her immediate grasp. Vocally fronted by the untamable Teri Gender Bender (Le Butcherettes, Bosnian Rainbows) their debut EP "Hiding In The Light" are four songs of electro/dub/afro-beat/ avant-freak/jazz-like conversations of instrumental ecstasy.
Opening the record, you hear Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta, Bosnian Rainbows) backwards string-arrangement on "Todo Memos el Dolor" ("Everything, Anything But The Pain"), initially reminiscent of Scott Walker's "It's Raining Today" before the drum machines anchor it into more modern territory. Teri's shrill vocals plead with hybrid emotion as they tip-toe through the minimalist abstraction, while hallucinatory synths help narrate the tapestry. "Las Esposas" (The Wives) begins with a mysterious spoken-word intro, referencing a taunting, dusty 16mm film that may hold such Jodorowskian phantasmagoria, beckoning the character like an estranged lover as Omar's slithering guitar line interlaces science-fiction beeps/bloops over Nicole's pounding electro-rhythm. "La Vida Es Una Caja Hermosa" (Life Is A Beautiful Box) sees some fractured, sour synths filling voids between a post-punk dub foundation, while guitar interplay between Dante White (Dante Vs. Zombies, Starlite Desperation) and John Frusciante help build a mountain of subtle sonic thunder before it all dissolves gingerly into unanticipated silence. The EP ends with it's catchiest accessible track "La Cancion de Alexandra" (Song Of Alexandra), an anthemic procession of self-realization where devotion and sacrifice hold hands. Some playfully sophisticated strings from Laena Geronimo (Raw Geronimo) push and pull with dueling trumpet lines to the forefront of this defiant, re-imagined march, Terri Gender Bender taking the role of the writhing Pied Piper as the credits begin to roll of this brief but incredibly resonant recording. - Gabriel Hart

Track Name: Todo Menos El Dolor
I was stubborn
Destroying all the remedies
Trying to conceive the voices that you gave to me
Eating with the cats
Eating with the colors
That want to take me off of it
You have to think of all my lost friends
You have to think of all my senses
I got lost in the middle of your essence
As I went in to the center of my conscience
Consciences respond to your pain
To your pain
Everything, anything but the pain
This pain
Terca fuí
Destruyendo los remedios
Tratando de concebir las voces que me diste
Comer con los gatos
Comer con los colores
que quieren quitarme de encima
Tienes que pensar en mis amigos perdidos
Tienes que pensar en mis sentidos
Me perdí en el medio de tu esencia
Me fuí en centro de mi conciencia
Conciencias responden a tu dolor tu dolor
A tu delor
Todo menos el dolor
Menos el dolor
Track Name: Las Esposas
In my house I own film that has to be developed
Develop the sixteen millimeter camera!
You people have to know how to begin to share the distortions
To know how to work well without rules
I have a black man in El Paso, El Paso; that I need
There is is a black man in El Paso, El Paso; that I need
He is very small!
Starting to share
With my wife
Who has already lost her mind
Starting to share with my wife, wife
Who has turned into a crazy strife
With this intention of trying to understand
Of trying to under-stand the art of loving
I am the wife
I love you!
Look at me but do not touch me
Loot at me but do not touch me
Look at me...
God is a symbol of your body
I do not like it anymore
En mi casa tengo rollos que se tienen que revelar
Revelar la cámara de dieciséis milímetros
Tienen que comenzar a compartir distorsiones
Saber trabajar bien sin reglas
Tengo un negro en El Paso, El Paso que yo necesitoay un negro en El Paso, El Paso que yo necesito
Esta chiquito!
Empezar a compartir
con mi esposa
Ya se volvió bien loca
Empezar a compartir
Con mi esposa, esposa
Se volvió bien re-loca
Con el intento de com-prender
De comprender el arte de amar
Yo soy la esposa
Yo te amo!
Mírame pero no me toques
Mírame pero no me toques
El Dios es el símbolo de tu cuerpo
Ya no me gusta
Track Name: La Vida Es Una Caja Hermosa
The action destroys me
The action controls me
The movement nudes me
The movement destroys me
The action is the balanced result
of movement directed by intelligence
of my inner sound, of my inner noise
The movement destroys me
The movement nudes me; strength without direction
Power without direction will never make it
Never, never; toward harmony
The dead
They speak and do not take action
They speak and do not forgive
The dead
Say farewell
The powers says farewell
The powers says farewell
and suddenly they shut up...
La acción me destruye
La acción me controla
El movimiento me desnuda
El movimiento me destruye
La acción es la resultante equilibrada
del movimiento dirigido por la inteligencia
...de mi ruido interno, de mi ruido interno
El movimiento me destruye
El movimiento me desnuda; fuerza sin dirección
Fuerza sin dirección no llegaría
Jamás, jamás; la harmonia
Los muertos;
Hablan y no accionan
Hablan y no perdonan
Los muertos;
Se despiden
Se despiden las fuerzas
Se despiden las fuerzas
y luego se callan.
Track Name: La Cancion De Alejandra
Foolish I have been
Drowning myself in fear
Flying with two
Is better than staring at the night alone
I will reject the good
Of all my loved ones
Because I am like this
Very ugly and poorly raised
Closed up, unstable!
I will exchange my faith
For a bit of your essence
Wanting to see my being
Complement this loss
Flying with you
Better than night watching the shores alone
I will swallow the evil
of all my loved ones
Closed up, unstable!
Necia soy
Ahogandome en el miedo
Volar con dos
Mejor que ver la noche sola
Rechazaré el bien
de todos mis queridos
Por que yo soy así
Muy fea y mal criada
Cerrada, inestable!
Cambiaré mi fe
Por un tanto esencia
Quiero ver mi ser
complementar la perdida
Volar con dos
Mejor que ver la noche sola
Tragaré el mal
De todos mis queridos
Cerrada, inestable

Ooooh, I'd gladly exchange Covered Bridges of New Hampshire for this fine assemblage.
Only if there's no pictures of a TARDIS from BBC Cymru!
There's a certain Ballardian frisson to be found in the 'Roundabouts of Britain' calendar.
But . . . DUCKS!
That's not a boring calendar. This is a boring calendar.
I have to say some of those phonebooths look very familiar…
