In the last few years Bangladesh has become a new hub for art in the subcontinent. For decades it was plagued by conflicts, displacement and geo-political strife, but this political unrest has become the subtext for a new generation of artists. The charged atmosphere of the country has produced artists like Tayeba Begum Lipi, Mahbubur Rahman and Naeim Mohamedien; they have attempted to create new notions and associations of Bangladesh and simultaneously bring to light existing socio-political concerns. Of these artists I was drawn to Lipi's work almost instinctively, becoming immediately interested in the discourse of marginality and representation produced by the voice of a female artist in this otherwise patriarchal and traditionalist region.
Originally from Gaibandha, Lipi has made Dhaka her home for the past 25 years. It was here that she studied at the Institute of Fine Art at the University of Dhaka and developed her artistic practice. Lipi's work, is simply described as 'cutting edge', not, however, in the traditional use of the term. Engaging with mediums that range from painting, sculpture and video, her work is predominantly constructed of razor blades. The luminous stainless steal razors form the basic units of construction for Lipi's arduous works, with which she recreates objects that range from life-sized beds and bathtubs to prams and lingerie. "Most of my work is related to personal issues of life," says the artist. This concern is evident in works like My Daughter's Cot, where the artist creates a metal cradle constructed of razor blades.
Lipi explains that during her childhood, a sterilised razor blade was probably the only tool available for childbirth.
Lipi's work often questions the conventionalised aspects that dominate the lives of women in Bangladesh and the Indian subcontinent in general. In addition to making references to tools used in delivering babies, Lipi associates the blades with the women in her life, the ones whose strength and persistence she admires. This year for the Dhaka Art Summit, Lipi will take on solo project based on her personal experiences as a woman. The work titled, A Room Of My Own documents the artist's journey of a failed attempt at motherhood and the hope of another chance.
To me, Lipi's oeuvre is a intriguing and poetic balance between the personal and political.
Dhaka might not be the first place to come mind if you're thinking of taking a little getaway trip, but there's more to it than meets the eye. This winter, Lipi took us through the streets of the city she now calls home. She takes us on an insider trip, through the swarming roads of Dhaka to the places she finds inspiring. From chic cafes to the erstwhile creative hub of Bangla Baazar, where writers and musicians once roamed, to contemporary museums, memorials and artists studios, Lipi leaves nothing out. We've handpicked five things for all you Artesign enthusiasts heading to Bangladesh for the Dhaka Art Summit this February.
1 The Bird's Eye restaurant: An unperturbed space situated in the crowded area of Paltan, with spectacular views and an idyllic stillness hard to come across in the bustling streets of Dhaka.
2 Martyred Intellectuals' Memorial at Rayerbazar: Designed by architects Farid U Ahmed and Jami Al Shafi the monument pays homage to the poets, writers, artists, engineers and intellectuals that were massacred during Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence.
3 Beauty Boarding: Established in 1949, the old motel-cum-restaurant situated at the end of the Bangla Bazaar street, on the verge of Paridas road, once was the hub for creative and progressive people in old Dhaka.
4 The National Museum: Inaugurated in 1913, the museum houses an important collection of objects and artefacts that depict Bangladesh's history and culture both of the past and present.
5 Bengal Gallery of Fine Arts and the Bengal Art Lounge: Funded by the Bengal Foundation, the two galleries are an essential part of Dhaka's cultural heritage. The galleries exhibit shows of music, art, drama, crafts and literature the organisations.

Hand-held motion controls more sensitive - Sony
Hitting back against Microsoft's ambitious Natal motion control system, Sony PS3 special projects manager Dr. Richard Marks has said that Sony's 'hand-held' approach to motion control will result in a more sensitive system.
"We learned that while people definitely enjoy physical interaction and movement, they also want precise control and a simple, fast, reliable way to trigger actions. We designed our new control system to accomplish all of this. We believe the path we have chosen is an ideal combination of both spatial and action/button input, and of course we can combine that with voice and video data from the PlayStation Eye mic array and camera," the good doctor told PC World this week.
"Having a hand-held controller greatly increases the precision that is possible, since we have designed it specifically for that purpose. The new controller's high-precision embedded sensors detect the sensitive movements of the hands, and the PlayStation Eye tracks the sphere on the controller to precisely detect the position in real-life 3D space."
The executive also plays up the importance of giving the player extra buttons for 'abstract' actions; interactions Marks believes are key to the experience. The new controller will be out in spring 2010, which is likely to be several months ahead of Natal's debut.

What's the first I did upon hearing the numbers for ATI's new HD Radeon 5870 graphics card? I scrambled for benchmarks, because that's the one thing an announcement and subsequent review of a smokin' new piece of hardware can do for a rabid enthusiast: inspire .
It's been a while since I've actually sat down and crunched the numbers for my killer custom PC (that's killer as in legendary, not NICs). I'm not lazy. Rather, I don't have access to the expensive system benchmarks that magazines and Web sites typically use to analyze the all the new hardware that comes out. I don't have all-in-one benchmarks like PCMark Vantage, GPU-punishing titles like Crysis, and--worst of all--preconfigured demo runs for any number of titles that would help ensure the validity and repeatability of the delivered scores.
In short, I have nothing. You might not have nothing, but odds are good that you are similarly ill-equipped to benchmark your graphics card (and any tweaks or modifications you make) in the style of a professional review. Nothing... until now.
This week's freeware roundup will show you five different games that you can use to punish your poor graphics card into frames-per-second submission. They might cost a grand total of zero dollars, but these tests are repeatable and easy to use--the perfect combination of characteristics for aspiring benchmarkers who might not want to get their hands dirty, but still want some kind of way to determine exactly how powerful their graphics card really is.
This demo for the open-ended space simulation game X3: Terran Conflict is like having the Four Horsemen pay a visit to your house and kick your graphics card. It's a DirectX 9 benchmark, which isn't as ideal of a scenario as you'll find in some modern titles that support DirectX 10 functionality. Still, the point of a benchmark is to tax your system to its limits. To that extent, X3: Terran Conflict is a free, fire-starter of a test for your GPU

Killing zombies is fun. Killing zombies at a maximum framerate is even more fun because, er, it accelerates the killing. Right. Although it was original designed, in-part, to test out the 3D capabilities of the game for those equipped with Nvidia-based graphics cards, the Resident Evil 5 benchmark demo is still a solid solution for testing your graphics card's capabilities regardless of manufacturer. Better yet, the RE 5 benchmark comes with the option to run in both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 modes. It's the ideal solution for those looking to test on either a current or legacy architecture... or both .

Okay, everyone who's a DirectX 10-or-higher benchmark, raise your right hand.
*A number of different games raise their hands*
Now everyone who's a DirectX 11-compatible benchmark, raise your left hand.
*BattleForge shoots its second hand in the air and screams as if it was on a rollercoaster*
'nuff said. This game is as graphically punishing as it is future-proofed, for this is the only title on the market as of this article's writing that now supports DirectX 11 functionality. Of course, that's slightly hampered by the fact that there are only two DirectX 11-compatible graphics cards right now. But. Er. The benchmark is free, as BattleForge itself is one of EA's "Play4Free" titles--downloading the game itself costs nothing, as the various bits and pieces that flush out the title's main RTS experience come as microtransactions. Boo those, but yay for free DX11 benchmarks!

You'll appreciate the GPU benchmark found in Tom Clancy's HAWX in part because the game is just so damn pretty. Watch as your death-from-above aircraft soars over beautifully rendered satellite-generated terrain... provided your graphics card can handle the punishment, that is. This DirectX 9- and DirectX 10-compatible benchmark isn't quite as challenging on the former as it could be, but it's a real killer if you crank the settings on the latter. Can your system handle this game's intense aerial combat? Or will you long for the days of the less graphically robust A-10 Tank Killer ?
Download it here !
This is the biggie. It's the age-old retort to any video card boast: "Yeah, but can it run Crysis?" There's only one way to find out, and this is it. Install the Crysis demo, then be sure to grab the third-party Crysis Benchmarking Tool. This helpful little utility auto-detects whether you're running the full game or the demo. It also opens up access to a wealth of configurable options that you can set prior to the run--and believe me, you'll be doing a lot of tweaking. This is the end-all be-all of current graphics benchmarks, save for the aforementioned BattleForge DirectX 11 test. But that game just uses the new APIs; Crysis bends your videocard over its knee and slaps it right on the bottom.

The New York Times reported August 8 that the National Security Agency has been searching through the e-mail messages of the American people on a massive scale, even in some instances where the messages are not to or from foreigners residing abroad.
Despite the controversy surrounding the intrusiveness of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), its duties continue to expand.
Being implemented hand in hand with the new national curriculum standards being pushed on schools, called Common Core, is government surveillance of students.
The most important question that Americans need to be asking themselves is, Does the national-security state have any role in a free society? The Founding Fathers certainly didn't think so.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the FBI is using hacker tools to remotely activate Android smartphone microphones and laptop cameras.
A report that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden wanted to join an organization of former KGB agents is false, according to Russian lawyer assisting him.
Sen. Rand Paul wrote FBI Director Robert Mueller of concerns about the FBI's use of drones, and the FBI said it didn't need a warrant for drone surveillance.
Dozens of law-enforcement agencies are seeking to get NSA intercepts of Americans' phone calls and Internet traffic for use in investigations.
A Department of Defense spokesman admits that the Drudge Report and other alternative media are exposing official lies, and calls for openness and truth — while spinning more deception.
House Permanent Intelligence Subcommittee Chairman Mike Rogers either lied about the breadth of NSA surveillance or didn't know about it and was incompetent.

Mesa is moving to charge more for virtually every utility service it provides residents — a decision prompted by the city's ailing budget.
Under a proposal set to be made public next month, Mesa would raise rates between 3 percent and 6 percent for city electric, gas, water, trash and sewer service.
Sewer rates would go up 6 percent, gas and water rates 5 percent, and electric rates 3 percent.
The proposed increases are expected to generate $8 million in fiscal 2003-04, which begins in July, said Jamie Warner, Mesa's budget director.
Utility rate hikes must be approved by the City Council.
If approved, rates would go up starting in August, Warner said.
Mayor Keno Hawker said Thursday the proposed rate increases may be too high.
"My goal is to try to lock that in closer to rate of inflation and not use it as a budgetary tool to balance the budget," Hawker said.
Talk of rate increases came during a council study session Thursday as city budget officials painted a bleak picture.
Mesa is considering eliminating up to 400 jobs and cutting a host of city services, including many parks and recreation programs, to overcome a projected $31 million deficit for fiscal 2003-04.
"I have never seen a budget year with this many challenges," said Hawker, who has served all but four years on the council since 1986. "We've never had a year where retail sales have been flat. There's been no increase."
Mesa is putting together the next two years' budgets.
The city raised some utility rates in May. Residents who rely on city utilities saw an average increase of nearly $6 a month for the combined rate hikes. The city has not calculated how much the average bill would increase under the new proposal.
Electric rates have not been raised since 1993, Warner said. The city operates an electric company that serves the downtown area. Gas, water and trash rates have been raised every year since 1998. Sewer rates have been raised every year since 2000.
"They're within the range of what we've seen historically," Warner said.
Mesa, which does not have a property tax, relies heavily on utility revenue to pay for services. Utility revenue accounts for 41 percent, or $221 million, of the $543 million operating budget. The budget figure does not include revenue from the half-cent "quality of life" sales tax. With that included, the city's operating budget is $630 million.
"Our utility excess revenues are used at this point to offset the revenue a property tax could provide," Warner said.

The Chickens of Chicken
Favorite thing: Before coming to Chicken I read in a guidebook that "There are no chickens in Chicken." Let me tell you now that the guidebook is dead wrong. There are exactly two chickens in Chicken, or perhaps I should say 1.9 chickens. They both are nameless, so I shall call the white chicken Ivory and the black chicken Ebony.
Ivory is a rooster, but he has lost his comb to frostbite. Ebony is a hen, and last winter when it was -60 F, her feet and lower legs froze and fell off. She is a brave and determined little bird and still gets about, crawling on her wings and drumsticks. That's why I say 1.9 chickens. These share their pen, between the Chicken Creek Restaurant and the Saloon, with a duck who thinks he's a chicken. The duck was too shy to pose for my picture.

Tucker, the Three-legged Dog
Favorite thing: When you are in Chicken don't miss meeting Tucker, the three-legged dog. He can usually be found hanging out near the chicken pen.
Tucker is a 9-year-old mutt, half collie and half husky, who lost his front left leg in a fight with a GMC truck. He came to Chicken from Edmondton, Alberta, where he used to spend his time dodging the props at the Edmondton Airport. Tucker always did like to live dangerously.
There are other dogs in Chicken, but Tucker has such a winsome personality that he has become something of a town mascot.

It prevents many complications of chronic disease, experts say,,,,
THURSDAY, May 21 (HealthDay News) --Diabetics who strictly control their blood sugar levels also reduce their risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease, British researchers report.
There have been several conflicting reports about the value of dramatically reducing blood sugar levels in diabetic patients in preventing heart attack and heart disease. In fact, some have suggested that significantly lower blood sugar levels could possibly be harmful.
"We show that if you lower glucose measures by something called HbA1c by 0.9 percent over five years, you reduce heart attacks by 17 percent and fatal and nonfatal heart attacks by 15 percent," said lead researcher Dr. Kausik Ray, a senior clinical research associate from the University of Cambridge. "There is no excess risk of death in contrast to earlier claims."
The implications are enormous, Ray said. "There have been claims recently by doctors that lowering glucose to less than 7 percent could be harmful. We disprove that in the largest study to date," he said.
On average, diabetics die seven years earlier, and they need multiple interventions such as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol to reduce their risk of dying. "Despite this, the risk remains high, so better control of sugars further reduces residual risk," Ray said.
The report is published in the May 23 issue of The Lancet.
For the study, Ray's team analyzed data from five studies that included 33,040 patients. Among all these patients, there were 1,497 heart attacks, 2,318 cases of coronary heart disease, 1,127 strokes and 2,892 people died.
The researchers noted hemoglobin A1c concentrations (HbA1c) in the patients. More intensive blood sugar control was achieved when patients used additional medications and/or higher doses to get lower HbA1c levels.
HbA1c indicates the averag

India is rich in folk tales with each region having its own treasure trove, though boundaries can blur and coalesce. These tales, rooted in the life of the common people, have been handed down through the oral tradition. They have served as a source of instruction and the chief means of entertainment through the centuries. Modernity and the advent of electronic media have impacted folklore, and it is in danger of fading out, unless committed to print or audio documentation.
This book is a translation of selected tales from Naatuppura kathai kalanjiyam, a collection of stories gathered from all over Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry by a committed team on the initiative of Aaru Ramanathan of the Tamil University, Thanjavur.
The translator, Sujatha Vijayaraghavan, in her well-worded preface, points out how the oral tale is "dynamic, aesthetic, inspiring, and while making light reading is capable of provoking deep thought." Excerpts from the preface of the general editor to the Tamil volumes are included in the book; Ramanathan mentions how such collections of stories give an "insight into the creativity, traditions of life and language skills of a people."
Vijayaraghavan has grouped the tales thematically and according to the districts they were gathered from. Each section has a preface from the original as well as one by her. Among the many themes are "the aesthetic as social archive", "troping and naming", "ancient cities and tales," and "folk dances." Brief notes have also been provided.
The first set is from the regions around Cuddalore and the theme is "Gender and divinity." It includes the popular Anandayi tales; the translator points out how Anandayi is worshipped only by women.
There are tales that deal specifically with Tamil beliefs and literature. The "Kuttiandavar" tale gives details of the glorious port city of Kaveripoompattinam or Poompuhar, with Vijayaraghavan drawing attention to the fact of "the little canon shaping the big" and explaining how scholars hold the view that the literary classic, 'Silappadikaran' "grew from folklore." The Tamil specifics are also brought in with reference to folk deities such as Ayyanar and Jakkamma, sports such as Jallikattu, and dances such as Kummi.
There is a distinct identity as well as universality about folk tales. The one about the sister who saves her brothers is similar to the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, "The Wild Swans" where the girl silently makes shirts for her brothers who have been turned into birds by the wicked stepmother.
The story of the jealous neighbour who tries to imitate the journey to the forest and gets thrashed by bandits is another that has universal tones. In "The Tale of Tales," there is even a reference to "Chakespiyar" (Shakespeare)! The story of the jealous queens trying to do away with the fecund one is only too familiar. Also included is the Tamil folk version of the last of the Vikram-Betaal tales.
The chants and songs have been translated retaining the local flavour. In the social context, the tales featuring the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are interesting. Tribal tales are grouped under a distinct section, though there are not too many of them.
The book cover could have been better; it is too direct and clichéd. The font strains the eye; it could have been reader-friendly.
Any attempt to document the richness of indigenous culture is appreciable in a globalised world, which is felt to be losing many of its distinct ethnic and cultural forms, languages, and performing styles.
If the credit for painstakingly gathering the tales goes to Aaru Ramanathan and his team, the credit fordisseminating them to a wider audience through her translation belongs to Vijayaraghavan.

House to repeal law withholding contractors' taxes
Wednesday - 10/26/2011, 6:57am EDT
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House is expected to approve legislation this week repealing a law that withholds 3 percent of government contractors' payments. The original law was enacted in 2006 to ensure contractors paid their taxes. However the law has seen its implementation delayed until 2013 and has grown increasingly unpopular with both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
President Barack Obama is among those backing repeal, including the bill the House is expected to approve Thursday. The White House has written in recent letters to Congress that letting contractors keep the 3 percent "would allow them to retain these funds and use them to create jobs and pay suppliers."
But last week, the White House threatened to veto a Senate version of the repeal bill introduced by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., citing opposition to McConnell's proposal to pay for the measure by cutting domestic programs. Ten Democrats joined Republicans in voting 57-43 to consider the bill anyway, falling three votes short of the 60 they needed to begin debate.
Republicans used Obama's veto threat to accuse him of standing in the way of a common-sense measure.
"We're hopeful the president will join us," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Tuesday. "There's no reason that this bill shouldn't pass."
The House version of the bill is tied to another measure changing the eligibility requirements — based on modified adjusted gross income — for some health programs, such as Medicaid. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said changing Medicaid eligibility requirements would pay for the repeal, according to The Hill.
The repeal provision was originally enacted amid concerns about the so-called tax gap — the amount of taxes the federal government believes go unpaid. In 2009, the Treasury Department said the IRS collected $2.7 trillion in taxes the previous year but $290 billion was unpaid.
Collecting some of that money would put a sizable dent in the $1.2 trillion over 10 years in budget savings that Congress' bipartisan, debt-cutting supercommittee is trying to identify by Thanksgiving.
Scofflaw government contractors?
Against a backdrop of thousands of government contractors underpaying their taxes by billions of dollars, Congress decided in 2006 to start withholding 3 percent of the contracted price until taxes owed are paid. It never happened.
The provision signed into law five years ago was part of a tax-cutting bill approved by a Republican-run Congress and signed into law by then-President George W. Bush in 2006. The $11 billion it was to raise over the next decade was supposed to help pay for those tax reductions.
Today's turnabout comes despite agreement on all sides that problems with scofflaw government contractors continue. Recent evidence includes an April report by investigators finding $750 million in overdue taxes owed by contractors under President Obama's economic stimulus law, and another from September 2010 citing tax cheats among 20 companies working for the Internal Revenue Service itself.
The law requires federal, state and local governments to withhold 3 percent of their payments to contractors to encourage the full paying of taxes. Its implementation has been delayed twice and it is now scheduled to take effect in January 2013.
Repeal supporters say the original measure went way too far, imposing administrative burdens on governments of all sizes and penalizing virtually all government contractors, most of whom fully pay their taxes on time. Some companies with small profit margins could be wiped out, they say.
Even so, the reversal underscores the desire of lawmakers in today's battered economy to show they're trying to create jobs, and the power of an effective and virtually unopposed lobbying campaign run by participants who read like a who's who of Washington's interest groups.
"We have to enforce our tax laws, but we have to enforce them fairly," said Rep. Wally Herger, R-Calif., a chief sponsor of the repeal bill. "If we have tax laws being enforced in a way to deter our economy and detrimental to small business and detrimental in general, those need to be reversed."
Investigations in recent years have documented tax violators among government contractors, including:
- A March 2006 report by Congress' Government Accountability Office that more than 3,800 civilian contractors with the government's General Services Administration - about 10 percent of the total - had $1.4 billion in tax debts in 2005.
- A June 2005 GAO report saying 33,000 civilian agency contractors owed more than $3 billion in 2004.
- A GAO report in February 2004 saying more than 27,000 defense contractors owed $3 billion in unpaid taxes in 2002.
