Captain?s Log, Stardate 443251
The Da Vinci has been re-routed to the Zeta Andromedae Sector to investigate a series of ionic storms congregating at the edge of the Delmar system. The fact that these storms seem to be clustering together is cause enough for concern, but long range sensors have also indicated a high level of elevated neutrinos and verteron particles present at the epicentre of the storms. If Ensign Sann is correct, the presence of these particles suggests the imminent formation of a wormhole in the Delmar System. Our mission is to scan the anomaly to determine if this it is indeed a wormhole-- and whether or not it is forming naturally, or being artificially created?
?Captain,? said Farim Meru, the
Da Vinci?s
Operations officer, ?sensors are picking up a vessel exiting the wormhole.?
The Bajoran?s words caused Arkos to instinctively jolt upright in his command chair as he snapped back to reality. He realized that he had been staring at the Delmar Wormhole for the last minute and a half, entranced by the swirling, cloudy disk that filled the
Da Vinci?s
viewscreen and bathed her bridge in an azure light. Every shade of blue imaginable shimmered in a great whirlpool of ionic energy, verterons, tetryons, and half a million other particles that he was certain Memory Alpha hadn?t come up with names for yet, punctuated by rippling flashes of whites, greys and golds. It reminded him a lot of the screen-captures he had seen of the Bajoran wormhole, and to date, was the most beautiful thing he had witnessed in his career in Starfleet.
It had been there, open and whirling, when the
Da Vinci
had arrived in the system. The ship?s science officer, Neiazri Sann, had confirmed that it was an actual, fully developed wormhole instead of the primordial collection of ionic storms that they had been expecting, which meant that this wormhole was developing far faster than most others of its kind that had been observed. As K?Nera had astutely pointed out, however, that in and of itself was suspicious. If the wormhole was developing this rapidly, she had said, then it could very well be an artificial pathway being created by the Borg, or the Undine, or any number of the malevolent species that were on the Federation?s bad list these days.
And now, with a ship coming through, K?Nera?s suspicions had been all but confirmed. As Arkos watched, a tiny, blocky black dot appeared in the middle of the swirling azure disc, the cerulean light casting the relatively tiny shape in shadow.
?Magnify,? Arkos ordered. The screen blinked and switched to a larger resolution, enlarging the tiny shape and bringing it into starker detail.
The sight that greeted Arkos sent an involuntary chill down his spine. The vessel that filled the viewscreen was moving in a lazy, half-drifting fashion, its hull pitted and scorched from a bright silver to a dull grey, and noxious green plasma vapours drifting from one of its stubby nacelles. But it was, unmistakably, a Type 8 shuttlecraft. A Federation vessel.
There were a few seconds of uncomfortable silence before Arkos caught himself gaping.
Snap out of it, and be a Captain, Arkos
he thought to himself, straightening up in his chair. A quick sideways glance, though, reassured him that K?Nera, Sann, and the rest of the bridge crew were reacting the same way, staring at the shuttlecraft in collective awe and befuddlement. Everyone on this bridge, he knew, was thinking the same thing.
Could this have come from the Mirror Universe?
The Federation?s evil doppleganger, the Terran Empire, had been an active threat as of late, crossing the yawning void between realities with disturbing frequency.
?Ensign Farim?? Arkos spoke out expectantly.
The dark-skinned Bajoran woman ran her fingers over the navigational console. ?Sensors are confirming it as a Type 8 shuttlecraft, sir, no known registry,? she replied. ?It has taken significant damage to its outer hull, and it is leaking warp coolant. I?m also detecting a single life sign aboard.?
Farim paused then, and swivelled her seat around to look Arkos, confusion written on her features. ?Sir?it?s a Korda.?
The report sent an even colder chill down Arkos? spine than the appearance of the shuttlecraft had. He became conscious of all of his bridge officers taking sideways glances at him. The Korda were a reclusive, isolationist species native to the half-sunken world of Nar-Etulis. Once a proud and technologically advanced race, the past century had not been kind to them, and they had regressed to the point where they wanted nothing to do with the greater universe. To date, only five Korda had left their submerged homeworld to live in Federation space. One of those five was Arkos Nair.
And now, another Korda was out there, on a damaged shuttlecraft, exiting a yawning chasm in the fabric of space time.
Arkos felt something uncomfortable twist in his gut as his mind raced over the possibilities. Could someone else have left Nar-Etulis to flee the Chastised, with Federation help? Had there been some sort of spatial anomaly, or disaster, on Nar-Etulis that linked to this wormhole? Or was this the product of some parallel universe, a different version of his people and his homeworld? The questions buzzed in his mind like a cluster of angry hornets, pecking at him and raising a host of uncomfortable possibilities.
Sann, to her credit, recovered from her surprise quickly enough to do her own scan of the shuttlecraft. ?The Korda?s life signs are fluctuating, sir,? the Trill reported. ?The shuttlecraft?s engine systems may be leaking gases into the crew compartment.?
There was no time for indecision, then. Arkos tapped his comm badge. ?Bridge to Transporter Room,? he said, ?prepare to beam the shuttle?s passenger directly to Sickbay.? He rose from his command chair and glanced at Sann. ?Ensign Sann, you?re with me,? he said. ?We?re going to go check up on our guest.? He turned and nodded to his first officer. ?K?Nera, you have the Bridge.?
?Aye sir,? K?Nera replied with a smart nod. ?For the record, sir, I think we should still be on our guard. This shuttle could still have come from the Mirror Universe, and it that?s the case, then it might just be the point of the spear.?
?As always, your dislike of the current situation is noted, K?Nera,? Arkos replied with a sly grin. ?But I have a feeling that this won?t be as bad as you suspect.?
?We managed to stabilize him several minutes ago, Captain,? the thin, balding figure of the Mark I EMH said flatly as he stood before Arkos and Sann. Behind him, nurses and orderlies hovered over the sickbed, poring over instruments and doing continuous scans of their patient. ?He was suffering from acute radiation poisoning and a few minor plasma burns, but we have managed to give him adequate epidermal treatment and completely detoxify his system. He needs recovery time, Captain, but he should survive.?
Arkos made no reply to the holograph. His attention was fixed the Korda who lay on the sickbed. He was swathed in the priestly robes of a
telvenar/i] of the Chastised, faded by age and wear and tear from a cream colour to a rustic brown. An intertwining sigil representing the Ionn, the Architect of the Universe, hung from a pendant around his neck. His grey/blue skin was mottled by a few burns and scars on his forehead, cheek and hands, and a few faded bruises were visible on his bald temple. He looked like he had been through hell.
But more importantly, he looked exactly like Arkos.
The EMH cocked a nonexistent eyebrow. ?Captain?? he asked. ?Are you feeling unwell??
?W-what?? Arkos blinked as he turned back to the Doctor. ?I?? He swallowed, blinked a few times. Yes, he thought, he did feel a little nauseous. Perhaps he was going crazy? That sounded logical. It would certainly explain why he was seeing another version of himself on the sickbed. ?Is he?me?? he asked, aware of how weak his voice suddenly sounded.
The Doctor glanced back at the robed Korda on the sickbed. ?DNA scans are?conclusive,? he replied. ?He matches you perfectly Captain, down to the last cytosine molecule. So, yes, he is, in a manner of speaking, you.?
Next to him, Sann stared with abject fascination at the second Arkos. ?It looks like K?Nera was right then, Captain,? she said. ?The Delmar Wormhole does connect to the Mirror Universe. Or at least, one mirror universe. It?s always been hypothesized that there could be several.?
?I?m glad that you find my?duality?so fascinating, Sann,? Arkos mumbled, unable to take his eyes off of his robed double. The Mirror Universe was a widely acknowledged fact and threat in Starfleet records, and it had been all but confirmed that everyone most likely had a counterpart in that universe. But all the same, the fact that Arkos was seeing?
lying there on the sickbed, was jarring to say the least.
A buzzing swarm of unasked questions sprang to life in Arkos? head, all demanding an answer all at once. To what extent was this mirror counterpart like him? Was he a complete polar opposite, like every other Mirror person encountered by Starfleet thus far? Or were he and his?twin?more alike than he suspected? His double was wearing Korda priestly garments instead of any uniform, so it was at least unlikely he was affiliated with the Terran Empire. But beyond that, Arkos knew nothing. His curiosity had been piqued, and as usual, was rapidly turning into an insatiable itch. He needed to know more.
?Is it safe to wake me?I mean, him, Doctor Zimmerman?? he asked, using the adoptive name the crew had given the outdated EMH.
The hologram glanced back at the sickbed. ?I would not advise it, Captain,? he replied. ?Your?alternate self needs at least twenty-four hours of resting time??
As if on cue, however, the mirror version of Arkos suddenly groaned loudly, and shifted on his sickbed. In an instant, orderlies were rushing towards him as a whole host of monitors and readouts began to beep and chime in a mechanical opera.
?He?s waking up, Doctor!? one of the orderlies suddenly cried.
Zimmerman looked like he was about to say something authoritative, when Arkos barrelled right [i[through
him. He ignored the way the Doctor?s form fluctuated as his image re-aligned, and further ignored the annoyed glare the hologram gave him as he made his way to the side of the sickbed. His alternate self was slowly stirring, his head listing from side to side as his eyes began to flicker open. It was an unreal experience, staring down at one?s own face as it moved and acted independently.
Slowly, the mirror Arkos opened his eyes. The robed Korda?s gaze wandered around listlessly before settling on Arkos. At that point, he suddenly became more awake and alert as his expression twisted into abject fear.
?It?s alright,? Arkos said as his double began to shake in the bed?s harnesses. ?We mean you know harm.? More monitors began to beep as the mirror Arkos? heart rate accelerated.
?You?but I?you?re??Slowly, the mirror Arkos began to calm down, his terrified expression giving away to a much more beatific expression. ?So it?s true,? he said, almost in a whisper. ?As Ionn weaves, it is true. There really is a Mirror Universe.?
Arkos swallowed. He was at a complete loss for words. He had never once imagined he would be having a conversation with himself.
?Please stay calm,? he finally said, his mind suddenly adjusting as he went into Captain mode. ?We found you aboard a damaged shuttlecraft. Whatever it was that happened to you, you?re safe now.?
The mirror Arkos shook his head. ?No?no, I?we must have words,? he said, his voice weak and slurred. ?I?I need your help. Nar-Etulis needs your help.?
Roughly two hours later, after the mirror version of Arkos had been sedated and made to rest again, Zimmerman announced that their guest was well enough to talk with the crew. At Arkos? instruction, his mirror counterpart?whom Arkos was already mentally dubbing ?Telvenar Nair,? after his priestly rank?was guided through the ship towards the waiting room for an audience with the Captain and his senior officers. The security detail would later report that the Telvenar had acted confused, tense and wary throughout the entire trip, staring at every monitor and bulkhead as though they were going to leap from the wall and bite him. The report didn?t surprise Arkos, but did disappoint him more than he thought it would. His mirror version was a definitely a Chastised, through and through.
The Telvenar?s initial meeting with the bridge crew had been no less jumpy. Upon walking into the waiting room, his first act had been to shrink back to the door and gaze in helpless terror at K?Nera. Thankfully, it didn?t take much to calm the Telvenar: after Arkos introduced K?Nera as his first officer, the Telvenar?s expression eased, and he sat down after bowing to the Andorian in apology. K?Nera had simply glanced at her fellow officers in confusion. ?Am I really that scary?? she asked.
The ship?s other Andorian officer, Chief Engineer Adim, gave her a joking grin. ?Do you really want us to answer that question?? he responded, earning a withering gaze from the Tactical Officer.
?Children, settle down please,? Arkos cut in, before folding his hands together and turning to face his double. The Telvenar was still sporting a few faint burns on his cheek and knuckles, but thanks to Zimmerman?s treatment, they were now faded and less severe-looking. Simply looking at the Telvenar, though, sitting there swathed in the garments of the Chastised, brought back memories to Arkos. Memories of Nar-Etulis, of Deepwell, of the late nights he spent sea-gazing. Of burnt kald-scales and chanted intonations each morning, when he was younger. And of a whole bunch of other memories he would have sooner forgotten?
As Arkos introduced himself, his crew and his ship, the Telvenar nodded politely, but it was clear that he felt very uncomfortable. The priest looked fidgety and nervous, continuously glancing warily at his surroundings. i]Maybe his only exposure to starships so far has been to Terran Empire vessels,[/i] Arkos thought,
and who knows what they did to him.
Either way, Arkos noticed that this man?s personality was radically different than his own. Arkos liked to think that he was a confident, outgoing man, but whether due to some lingering trauma or due to his religious doctrine, the Telvenar was the exact opposite?quiet, reserved, and, thus far, overbearingly polite.
?We found you on a damaged shuttlecraft,? Arkos told his double. ?According to our sensor readings, you were barely conscious when you flew through the wormhole, and your shuttle had sustained quite a bit of weapons damage.?
The Telvenar gave Arkos a deep bow. ?I am grateful, Captain,? he said. ?If not for you and your crew, I would most certainly have died. I am in your debt, as Ionn weaves.?
The old expression stung Arkos. He realized that it had been five?maybe six years since he had heard someone say that phrase, and maybe nine years since he had said it himself.
As Ionn weaves,
he thought bitterly.
Everything happens because Ionn weaves it.
K?Nera folded her hands. ?If you don?t mind telling us, Cap?Mr. Nair, what were you doing in that shuttlecraft in the first place??
The Telvenar?s gaze turned to K?Nera. Again, Arkos saw consternation cross the man?s eyes as he looked at the Andorian.
Could a mirror version of K?Nera have done something to him?
?I had stolen the shuttle from a Terran ship that I was imprisoned upon, Lieutenant K?Nera,? he replied. ?I was being transported with several others to one of their prison colonies when the ship?s power went out. I confess, I do not know how or why this happened, except perhaps because Ionn weaved it so.?
Of course,
Arkos thought sarcastically, resisting the urge to say that out loud. ?And in the ensuing jailbreak, you managed to steal a shuttlecraft??
The Telvenar gave a sage nod. ?I regret to say that I was the only one to make it to a shuttlebay,? he said. ?My fellow prisoners were all captured or killed by the ship?s crew. But before the escape, I overheard one of my fellow prisoners say that the ship was creating a?hole, in space?that would lead to a Mirror Universe. A place that was a better, less cruel, reflection of my world. And while I know nothing of how to fly a shuttlecraft, as Ionn weaves, I was able to find this rent in the heavens. ? He glanced at Arkos. ?I consider it a blessing that I not only made it through alive, but that I encountered my own mirror half in the process.?
Arkos had no idea how to react to that sort of compliment. He simply gave the Telvenar a half-smile before glancing sideways at his Chief Engineer. ?Adim, given what we know about the technology of the Terran Empire, do you think it?s possible that they created this wormhole artificially??
The Andorian frowned. ?I?m afraid I can?t base anything off of our knowledge of Imperial technology, Captain,? he replied, ?but it is possible. A stable, but short-lived hole can be created by generating a magneton pulse along a subspace tensor matrix. Maybe the Terran Empire has adapted this technique and perfected it.?
?But if they made the wormhole, why haven?t they used it yet?? K?Nera asked. ?It sounds like they?re trying to create a stable invasion route.?
Sann leaned forward. ?It could be that they?re still testing its stability,? she replied. ?It?s one thing for a single shuttlecraft to go through, but a larger starship?or worse, an entire fleet?would interact with the wormhole differently. There?s always the risk of a hole?s tetryon field reacting negatively with a ship?s shields, never mind the shields of several dozen ships.?
Nodding to the Trill, Arkos turned back to the Telvenar. ?Well, you?ve made it through in one piece,? he said, giving the man a smile. ?My crew and I are willing to help you in any way that they can, and the Federation is ready to grant you asylum if you wish.?
The Telvenar nodded. ?Thank you, Captain. I accept your Federation?s offer, but I come before you with a wish for something more important than my own safety.? He stared Arkos in the eye. ?Tell me, Captain, as we are both the same person, and are both Korda?in this universe, has the Calamity happened??
The question was one that Arkos had sincerely hoped the Telvenar wouldn?t ask, as it would mean that at least one version of Nar-Etulis had been spared.
The Calamity.
The common name for the environmental disaster that had afflicted the Korda homeworld almost a century ago. Decades of intense ice-mining in the polar regions, atmospheric modulation and gas-harvesting had taken its toll on Nar-Etulis? environment. This, combined with a sudden spike in harmful radiation emissions from the planet?s sun, had caused the world?s polar ice caps to melt. In an instant, the Korda civilization, one that had rivalled other races for its technological advancement and majesty, was shattered by floods, tsunamis and geological upheaval. The remnants of the Korda race were forced to live in great underwater cities from that point on, a sad reflection of what they once were.
He nodded gravely to the priest. ?It has,? he replied. ?I?m sorry.?
His double?s shoulders sagged in defeat. ?Even in this universe, then, the Korda are undone,? he moaned. ?In my universe, though, the Calamity was but the beginning of our woes. No sooner had our own world consumed us when the Terran Empire came.? A bitter tone came over his voice. ?Those murderous reekfins had always gazed jealously upon us before, but now that we were weakened, they swooped down upon us like carrion.?
The Telvenar?s gaze returned to Arkos. ?Nar-Etulis is no longer our own world, Captain,? he said. ?The Terran Empire?s soldiers walk our cities. They have enslaved our people, and made us toil for their luxury and amusement.? His face twisted into an expression of anger Arkos didn?t even know he was capable of. ?They have outlawed our traditions, and forbade the reverence of Ionn! It is not enough that they have enslaved us, Captain, now they seek to
?What would you ask of us, then??Arkos said. He already has a suspicion of where this conversation was going.
?I ask, Captain, that the Federation save my?our?people!? the Telvenar replied. ?I ask that the Federation send a fleet through the?wormhole, as you call it?and liberate Nar-Etulis!?
For a moment, the table went silent. Arkos pulled his gaze free from that of the Telvenar. He couldn?t imagine Nar-Etulis ground down under the Terran Empire?s heel like that. He didn?t want to. What the Telvenar described stained every single good memory he had of his birth-world. But he knew that if he had seen what his mirror counterpart had seen, he would be just as angry, just as desperate and just as determined. What he had to say next was going to hurt them both, on so many levels.
?I?m sorry,? he said, ?but I?m afraid that isn?t possible.?
The Telvenar looked as though he had been slapped. ?I?m sorry?? he asked. ?What do you mean by ?not possible???
Arkos took a deep breath, and folded his hands together. ?Look,? he said, ?if the situation in our own universe were any different, I would say yes. I would make the petition to Starfleet to secure this wormhole and send a fleet through. I would try my damndest to see Nar-Etulis liberated, and if it weren?t for Starfleet protocols, I would see the Empire bastards hang for every Korda life they?ve taken.?
He leaned forwards a little to lock eyes with his double. ?But right now, the Federation is fighting a war on too many fronts. We?re battling for our survival against the Klingons, the Romulans, the Breen, the Cardassian True Way, and most of all, the Borg. We could not try to liberate your universe?s Nar-Etulis without trying to liberate every other world oppressed by the Empire, and that would be a massive, and risky, undertaking. It would mean fighting the Terran Empire in its own space, against its full strength, through a single wormhole. I?m sorry, but Starfleet does not have the resources at hand for a full invasion of the Terran Empire. We?re barely holding off the Klingons as it is.?
The Telvenar stared in blinking disbelief at Arkos. The look of betrayal on his face stung him deeply. ?But?there is a wormhole out there, right in front of you!? he shouted. ?Your ship could use it to fly through, and get to Nar-Etulis!?
?The wormhole,? Arkos replied, as calmly as possible, ?could very well be unstable. And even if it wasn?t, a single ship flying deep into the Imperial space would be suicide. I am not going to risk the lives of my crew so recklessly.?
?It is your world!? the Telvenar almost screamed this time. ?
people! We have a responsibility towards them!?
Arkos felt the blood in his cheeks run hot. ?I know,? he said, his molars clenching slightly. ?Damn it, I know. But I also have a responsibility to my crew, to my ship, and to the Prime Directive. I am sorry, Telvenar, but I cannot help you.?
The Telvenar made a deep, slow exhalation as he glared furiously at Arkos. A few seconds of cold silence fell over the room. The skin on the back of Arkos? neck prickled. He felt hatred in that silence?real, caustic hatred, flowing out from his double.
Abruptly, the Telvenar stood up from his chair. ?By your inaction, you doom thousands, Captain,? he hissed. ?You are no better than the Empire.?
The words hit Arkos like a hammer-blow. He sprang to his feet as the Telvenar walked towards the doorway, and would have leapt across the table to punch his double in the face if K?Nera hadn?t stood up at the same time, pressing an arm against his chest to block him off ?Captain!? she shouted. Held in place, Arkos could only glare venomously at the Telvenar as he strode out of the room.
Exhaling loudly, Arkos sat back down and took several deep breaths. That man wasn?t him, he decided firmly. That reckless, irrational, Ionn-trembling
wasn?t him at all, even if the two of them looked alike.
He breathed out again, and let his anger flow out along with the breath. ?Alright,? he finally said, turning to Sann and Adim. ?As long as that wormhole remains open, it presents a clear and present danger to the Federation. Our top priority is sealing it, temporarily if not permanently. Sann, could we destabilize it with a photon torpedo??
Sann drummed her fingers. ?We could,? she replied, ?but we?ll have no way of calculating how unstable the implosion would be. The collateral damage could be immense.?
?During the Dominion War, the crew of Deep Space Nine did try to seal the Bajoran Wormhole with a series of phase-conjugate graviton beams,? Adim suggested. ?It failed that time due to sabotage by a Changeling, but unless someone in this room is a shapeshifter, I see no reason why we couldn?t try it ourselves.?
Arkos nodded to his Chief Engineer. ?Good. I want you two to get on that right away. The sooner we can close this wormhole, the better. In the meantime,? he glanced at K?Nera, ?seeing as he?s accepted our offer of asylum, I want quarters to be arranged for our guest. We?ll keep him safe and comfortable before passing him over to the Diplomatic Corps. Dismissed.?
Sann and Adim both got up and left the room, quietly pleased, as usual, to have a project to work on. K?Nera, on the other hand, remained seated, staring impassively at Arkos. Arkos recognized that stare. K?Nera didn?t give it to him that often, but when she did, it meant that there was something that she had to get off of her chest.
?Permission to speak freely, sir?? she asked.
He nodded. ?Granted.?
?Sir, are you alright?? she asked. She seemed genuinely concerned. ?I don?t think I?ve ever seen you react this angrily to someone before.?
Arkos? jawline tightened. ?Well, you did hear him, K?Nera,? he replied. ?That...our guest?practically called me a traitor to my own people. I?m quite sure that if someone accused you of hating your own species, you would do a lot more than simply sit there and be appalled.?
?That?s not what I meant, sir,? K?Nera replied. ?I noticed that ever since he came into the room, something about your alternate self has set you off. You?ve seemed more on edge, more blunt in your way of speaking and acting, and you seemed unusually eager when you discussed closing the wormhole. If I didn?t know better, sir, I?d say that there was something about your mirror version that you
Arkos felt his cheeks burn at the comment. ?Don?t be ridiculous, K?Nera,? he replied. ?He?s a refugee from the Mirror Universe who needs our help. It?s not my place to hate him. I just don?t intend to bow to his impossible demands, either.?
The Andorian seemed nonplussed as she continued to stare at Arkos. ?Sir?my knowledge of the social situation on your homeworld is hazy, but does this have something to do with the conflict on Nar-Etulis that you escaped from??
At that point, Arkos stood up abruptly. ?Lieutenant, I am a Starfleet officer,? he spat angrily. ?I am above whatever petty grudges or local conflicts you may be referring to, because I have been trained to see the bigger picture. I suggest you carry out your orders instead of trying to play psychoanalyst with your commanding officer. Are we clear??
K?Nera?s gaze intensified into one of hurt anger and of defiance. Arkos could see that she would dearly have liked to retort to his comment, but her Starfleet discipline overrode her hot-blooded Andorian temper. ?Yes sir,? she replied stiffly.
Without a furher word, K?Nera stood up and stormed out of the meeting room. The doors hissed closed in her wake, leaving Arkos to brood in silence.

Open source is successful when you give people the benefit of a doubt, and encourage their contribution in spite of difficulties. On the converse side, touching up every single patch doesn't scale well, which is why we write HACKING documents, and why we try to be friendly even when asking for a re-submission, and why we aren't quite so lenient on HACKING violations from repeated contributors. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

It was on Sunday night, when the Jawaharlal Nehru University's Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH), held a special open counselling session in the wake of the recent horror where a male student allegedly attacked his female classmate with an axe ostensibly for unrequited love, that another girl student narrated her tale of sexual harassment to the panel.
Sometime into the counselling session, the girl stood up and narrated her personal story in front of the entire audience, following which GSCASH formally registered her complaint before going to the police on Monday.
"There are several ways to approach the GSCASH; the affected student can simply call us on any of our numbers but a form will have to be filled out to register a formal complaint," said Abhiruchi Ranjan, student representative of the GSCASH, which is a body made up of teachers and students.
"We really applaud the girl who had the courage to stand up and narrate her experience in public," she added.
The counselling session mostly focussed on how to deal with relationships, how to handle a break up and how to deal with unwanted attention, among other issues that touched the sensitive relationships that men and women share in an environment where they are forced to be together.
Semi-judicial body
"The GSCASH is a semi-judicial body, we usually receive complaints of sexual harassment and then we make a report and submit it to the university. We do not offer counselling services," said Ms. Ranjan, adding that the committee had decided to hold an orientation session sometime during the month so that all students could be made aware of how and when to approach them.
"We have poster campaigns and our numbers are usually displayed everywhere, we even have a website where we have given details on how to approach us confidentially."

The Distance between Shadows-A Seraphims Story. (Part 6 Final
Seraphim was irritated, he kept trying to get some sleep as he wandered in and out of conciseness, but the light swirling in his vision would not allow him to rest. And that wasn't the worst, what really upset him were the people who continued talking around him. A male and a female were having a conversation in the room. Did they not see he was tired, and trying to rest?
"Brother I think you treat him badly."
"Sister you know a weapon is best forged and tempered slowly in a heated flame, and tested in many trials by combat. Look at his father, is he not now a puissant champion for the good?"
"I know, but Arsiquil has been through so much…"
The conversation continued until he couldn't take it anymore and tried to rise up to object, but found he didn't have the strength. Just opening his eyes was so great an effort that he had no energy left to even speak.
As he glared at the two who were speaking, he had an odd sense of familiarity. The male was beautiful, he looked like a carved statue from one of the great masters. His skin was darkened, bronzed by the sun and glowed with health. Dark ringlets of golden hair fell about his face, which shone like the sun. The woman was older but perfect of form also… and no less beautiful, her complexion was flawless and radiated a light, a kind of grace he had never seen or felt before. Seraphim tried to speak but nothing came out.
"Nanna we all prepare for the worst in our own way. And I must cleanse my house first, the Greyswandir's are the best weapons I have."
"So how long do you want me to watch over him Apollus?"
"Till its time Nanna. I shan't be long."
"What about his brother, his family?"
At the mention of his brother Seraphim struggled to rise again, groaning lightly with the effort.
"Ahh dear sister, it appears he is awake, and has been listening all this time."
Nanaea chuckled aloud as she turned to look at the object of the conversation.
"The Greyswandir's do have strong spirits, I'll keep an eye on him for you Apollus."
The bronzed god of the sun leaned forward and kissed Nanaea.
"Thank you sister I owe you for this."
Ruffling the young god's hair, Nanaea waved her brother off.
"Don't think I don't realize you are using the fact that you're my favorite. You know I can't say no to you… Now git, shoo… spoiled little boy!"
Apollus turned to Seraphim with a look that was all too serious for the youthful face. As he stared it slowly turned into a smile. "I knew he'd be safe with you Nanna."
His attention was drawn back to the woman. She was calling his name.
"Seraphim? Seraphim…"
But somehow she was different, he couldn't put his hand on it but there had been a change…
"Seraphim, thank the goddess you are alive. We thought you were not going to make it," The Nurse said. "Water...." Seraphim rasped through dry cracked lips.
"Yes-yes, dear boy." The nurse handed him a cup. "I know your dying of thirst, but I have something better. It will help give you your strength back and complete the purging of the poisons out of your system. You really gave us a scare, you have been unconscious for over a month, and on more than one occasion, we thought you were lost. But somehow you held on… The knights at temple will be pleased to know you have pulled through this. They have been coming over every day to see about you. The order was so infuriated that all the knights gathered and went on a weeklong ork hunt. I bet we wont see any more around here for months, if not years."
"Myyy, myyy…"
"Don't try to talk dear boy conserve your strength, you're going to need it to get better." The effects of the potion gradually crept through his body. And for the first time in a very long time, Seraphim slept peacefully.

It's so annoying when people won't shut up while you're trying to sleep! So Seraphim is being forged by Apollus. That doesn't bode well for a peaceful life. And his father is "now a puissant champion for the good" Interesting! Nanaea and Apollus looked familiar to Seraphim. Was that from statues and such, or had they physically entered his life before? What housecleaning and what worst? Very interesting developments, and excellent dialog! Great episode and image!

Nice effects, and the framing effect of the fog helps the image.

Hallucinations and visions combined are ALWAYS dangerous. Being forged by the gods means a LOT OF HAMMERING and beating on by someone! LOLOL XD I do not envy him for an instant! If they are gods, it might be unwise to bring them in so early. It's your story, and I do not know where you are going with this, so I'll keep watching.

Beta driver 9742 won't compile for x86_64
So, I'm trying it because the new 8800 gtx won't work on the older drivers.
When trying to install it on Ubuntu 6.10 (kernel 2.6.17), I get:
$ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9742-pkg2.run -n -s --x-prefix=/usr/lib/xorg/ --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`
Previous drivers compile and install fine, they just won't work with the nvidia 8800 gtx in linux (I'm repeating myself here just to make it easier for search :) )
After installing, when I start X with the 9629 drivers, I get:
$ startx

It's not so much a typo in the script, but a matter of the Ubuntu guys deciding to use dash instead of bash as the default shell
Re: Beta driver 9742 won't compile for x86_64
Thanks Cambo, that solved it. I should have searched better ... there was no mention to that thread on the first results page, sorry for the duplicate thread.
The next problem is that now my whole screen is blank while in X. But is another topic, I'll post it as soon as I have gathered all the detail files.
Re: Beta driver 9742 won't compile for x86_64
Probably a problem with the EDID info from your monitor, and the Nvidia driver being fussy. There's several threads covering this. Check your Xorg.0.log. Should be able to find an answer by searching this forum for "EDID Ignore"

Life was great for 57-year-old Aruna (name changed), a mother of three children and an organised housewife, until she felt a reeling sensation a year ago.
She brushed the symptom aside considering that the dizziness could have been caused due to high blood pressure she had been suffering from.
She did not think of consulting a doctor immediately.
After three days, on a fateful evening, her arms became immobile followed by complete numbness in her legs while she was talking over the phone.
"Life was never the same for us once she was diagnosed with brain stroke caused by a blood clot.
With year-long physiotherapy and medication, my mother is yet to get back to normal life," a worried Aruna's son recalled.
Self medication
proves fatal
In another case, self-medication proved to be fatal for Sreenu (name changed), a 24-year-old professional, who preferred swallowing strips of painkillers to fight his frequent headaches.
Though it offered momentary relief, he had no clue that it was one of the signs of cerebral haemorrhage and he paid for it with his life.
The symptoms of a brain stroke include numbness in arms and legs, giddiness, recurring headaches, sudden speechlessness, blurred vision and facial asymmetry or a combination of any of these, neuro-physician of Caring Hands Neuro Centre B. Demudu Babu explained.
Recognise initials signs
"People must recognise the initial signs and approach the nearest physician as soon as possible.
However, most patients ignore early signs of brain stroke and seek professional help only after they reach the vegetative state or after a paralytic attack.
Those with a family history of hypertension, diabetes and heart attack, among other risk factors need to be closely monitored.
The chances of saving a person from brain haemorrhage are high if the symptoms are identified immediately and treated within four and half hours," the doctor said.
As October 29 being observed as 'World Stroke Day', neurologists warn that in India, for every one lakh population 200 complain of brain strokes.
Out of them, 25 per cent fall in the age group of below 40 years where the incidence of death rate is on the rise.

Aquino vetoes law removing height requirement for cops, firemen, jail guards
MANILA, Philippines—Policemen, firemen and jail guards should possess the necessary physical attributes to do their job, and that includes having the right height.
President Aquino has vetoed a bill repealing the height requirement for applicants to the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, saying this was unnecessary because of an existing waiver of such requirement.
The President said that height should be retained among the qualifications for admission to the service under the PNP Reform and Reorganization Act of 1990, BFP and BJMP Professionalization Act of 2004, and the DILG (Department of Interior and Local Government) Act of 1990.
However, a waiver of this qualification — 5'4" for male and 5'2" for female — has been allowed under certain conditions, Mr. Aquino said.
"Hence the total repeal of the height requirement among these service bureaus is unnecessary," he said in his veto message to Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.
While he agreed with its noble intent to address height equality in the three agencies, Mr. Aquino said he was "seriously apprehensive of the concerns" raised by the PNP and BJMP on the safety of their personnel and of the public.
"As raised by the BJMP, jail officers, by the nature of their work in guarding detainees or escorting criminals, must possess the necessary physical attributes to perform their functions effectively," he said.
Too, public safety "is paramount in law enforcement by the PNP, as well as firefighting by the BFP," he added.
With the veto, the President returned the consolidated enrolled Senate Bill No. 3217 and House Bill No. 6203 to Congress without his signature.
In essence, the President thought the proposed law would become "detrimental to the performance of their functions," explained Abigail Valte, deputy presidential spokesperson.
This was the second bill vetoed by the President in a week's time after the Magna Carta of the Poor, whose P3-trillion budget far exceeds the P2.006-trillion 2013 national budget. Mr. President admitted that the government could not implement the magna carta because of its big budget.
Valte disagreed with observations that lawmakers wasted resources and time to craft such a measure only to be vetoed by the President.
"I don't think it was a waste. Let's remember that the legislature is still independent from the Executive. That's part of the system of checks and balances. They always have another option that they can resort to if they feel that this particular bill should still be passed into law," she said in a briefing.
She said it would be up to the electorate to choose their next representatives in Congress.

Lab assistant Carter Sharp sorts mosquitoes in Wheeling, Ill., that were collected from Chicago's northwest suburbs for West Nile virus testing. Illinois already has seen at least two human West Nile virus infections this year.
- Filed Under
A Carroll College professor and a group of students have found two cases of the West Nile virus in mosquitoes in eastern Montana, and they're concerned that conditions could add up to a year like 2003 or 2007, each of which saw four deaths and more than 200 infections in humans in the state.
Grant Hokit, a Carroll biology professor, said student field researchers have found the virus in mosquitoes trapped on the Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Sheridan County and the Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge in Phillips County.
At Medicine Lake, students also saw numerous dead pelican chicks ...

Latest Eric Schmidt Stories
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt is reportedly planning to sell off a sizable portion of his stake in the company, according to various media reports published over the weekend.
A forthcoming new book penned by Google's Eric Schmidt has called China "the most sophisticated and prolific" hacker of foreign companies, according to a variety of media reports published late last week.
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt returned from a four-day visit to North Korea on Thursday with a challenge for the East Asian country and its leader, Kim Jong-un: accept the Internet, or risk further economic decline.
The head of one of the most prominent technology companies is part of a delegation that arrived in North Korea on Monday -- a trip that has stirred up some controversy, partially because of its timing.
Google's chairman Eric Schmidt took some time to speak with Android manufacturers, launch the Google Nexus 7 tablet in Seoul, and give his opinion about Apple's new Maps in iOS 6 and the recent patent battles.
Eric Schmidt, Google's Executive Chairman, this week spoke about the haves and the have-nots during a speech at an annual Israeli conference sponsored by President Shimon Peres.
Google CEO Chairman Eric Schmidt gave a lecture at the Edinburgh International Television Festival wherein he announced a partnership with UK's National Film and TV School to train young film-makers.
A regulatory filing has revealed that, when former Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt assumed his new role as Executive Chairman, he received a sizable pay raise in the process.
Two US senators on Monday urged the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to deepen the investigation of Google for alleged antitrust violations relating to Google listing its own websites and products first in web searches.

If death is the great equalizer, rising from the grave classifies us once again. The 1st Annual Zombie Pub Crawl brought out all types of walking corpses: Romero's original undead dressed in tattered suits, the bluish ghouls from Dawn of the Dead, and even one of 28 Days Later's red-eyed ragers. But if all zombies are truly created equal, how do you account for the great cheer that erupted when Jesus, Kurt Cobain, and Michael Jackson arrived together? Around 90 people met up at Logan Park in Northeast, and three bars later another 50 had joined the ambling, moaning group. The pub crawl was organized by Zombie Productions, a few guys who'd heard about zombie-themed happenings around the country and decided to rile up interest in Minneapolis. Carrying a suitcase of makeup and a gallon milk jug filled with homemade blood (corn syrup, chocolate sauce, and red food coloring), they were ready to recruit. The event wasn't just a social gathering but an experiment to see how the public might react to a horde of the undead stumbling down the middle of 13th Avenue. Aside from one car that executed a Y-turn at the first glimpse of rotting flesh, passers-by generally seemed amused. A guy driving past Mayslack's even allowed himself to be pulled from his SUV and subjected to a feeding frenzy. Although the swarm was easily distracted by alcohol, the crawl's official cheer got everyone back on track. "What do we want?" "Brains!" "When do we want 'em?" "Braaaaains!"

It was for an 8th grade Promotion Dinner/Dance.
The stand was a bit taller than 12ft. but was great because it was outdoors. It was part of a montage area decorated with British themed items, posters and icons.
I scoured the internet for props and found very few, so this was a fabulous find and garnered many "ooohhs and ahhhs"!

However, storage will be an issue, it is not something you want to take down/apart. I would consider that before purchasing. It would be great to donate to a theater group or school.

try to keep the tabla in tune. there is acommon misconception that a tabla should be loosed whenever it is not going to be played. This is only true when dealing with the poorest quality tablas, such as one might find fromBengal. Doing this for any decent tabla will make it unreliable on stage - FUNDAMENTALS OF TABLA, page 34.
Acelga wrote:Oh, I forgot to add a very important reason to not to mess up with the tuning!
The buzzing siyahi!
Most times I had to tune a tabla just one step lower in order to be in tune with the singer / instrument, only to discover that a horrible BUZZ appears and it won´t go away, not even when I tune the tabla again to its original pitch.
Like somebody answered to me in another thread regarding brand-new buzzing siyahis, the buzzing has sometimes a lot to do with the stretching (but some other times doesn´t). That could explain why sometimes you place a new top-quality-five-stars-pudi that was made on another tabla and it starts buzzing, because it suffere lots of loosening when it was removed from the shell.

The Portland Trail Blazers are already eager to be back at home after a disappointing trip. Facing a winless road opponent is even more ideal. The Trail Blazers begin a six-game homestand Saturday night when they try to drop the Sacramento Kings to 0-7 on the road. Portland (8-11) went 2-5 on a trip that ended with Wednesday's 99-92 loss to Indiana. Rookie Damian Lillard led the Trail Blazers with 23 points. There was room for optimism since the defeat came on the heels of thrilling wins against Cleveland and Charlotte that both went past regulation. Lillard scored 24 points in each of those victories. "I liked the way our guys finished the road trip, I liked the way we competed, got some of the young guys involved off the bench," coach Terry Stotts said. "So I thought there were things that were good but I don't think any of us were necessarily satisfied being 2-5. You wanted to get one or two more on the road." Lillard, the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, continues to lead a...

Varian Earns Gold Value Chain Award, Powered by Axeda
Jul 02, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Axeda Corp., a provider of cloud-based service and software for managing connected products and delivering machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, announced that Varian Medical Systems, a manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating cancer and other medical conditions, has won a gold Connected World Value Chain award in the medical category.
According to a release, Axeda took home the enabler award for providing Varian's connected product platform.
The Connected World magazine Value Chain Awards honor corporate adopters of M2M technology and the solution providers that made their success possible. The awards recognize the process of combining multiple technologies such as device-connectivity hardware, radio modules, network service and provisioning, as well as application software and infrastructure, to create a winning solution for the end customer.
Varian Medical Systems is a provider of M2M. The data and results from the SmartConnect solution inspired Varian to develop a patent-pending "Smart Scope," a 16 channel full-function software oscilloscope and functional digital volt meter that can be viewed remotely using Axeda. By enabling this remote view of the instrument, Varian is reducing onsite service calls, which provides significant savings for the company in travel cost reductions and reduced planned maintenance inspection (PMI) costs.
"Being recognized by Connected World is an honor, and is further validation of the power of the Axeda Machine Cloud in a rapidly evolving M2M ecosystem," said Dan Murphy, vice president of marketing at Axeda. "Our team is consistently inspired by customers like Varian, and their gold win is a testament to their commitment and focus on service and innovation." "Varian's customers are delivering potentially life-saving treatment in cancer centers around the world," said Brad Burton, Sr. Manager of Product Support Engineering for Varian's Oncology Systems business. "Our M2M remote servicing solutions help us to ensure that clinical teams using Varian technology are able to treat patients according to schedule, focusing on the patient while we focus on machine performance. It's immensely gratifying to have these efforts affirmed by 'Connected World' through this Value Chain award." "Congratulations go to Varian on their Gold Value Chain Award win, as well as technology enabler Axeda," said Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Connected World magazine. "Varian continues to demonstrate how connected devices can transform healthcare delivery and drive innovation."

I dont normally write reviews, but I had such great service from the Reading Store that I have to review. this product is perfect for stuffing my new Blue Kazoo Sleeping bag into. The staff member who served me kindly tested it for ease of use and how small it would go (amazingly small!!) also insisted I have a go as it mught be harder for me to 'stuff' Overall I am impressed by the quality of the products and the staff at Reading.

Publisher's Description
The Old Testament is the story of God's promises to his people. Below its somewhat obscure surface is hidden magnificent truth about the love and power of God. Throughout its pages the reader can find promise after promise from God, all of which are fulfilled in the New Testament-in the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
Author Mark Dever introduces readers to the Old Testament as a glorious whole so that they are able to see the big picture of the majesty of God and the wonder of his promises.
To hear the Bible tell its own story in its own waythis is the obvious but all-too-rare strategy for reading the Book of books. I thank Dr. Mark Dever for showing us how. We are immeasurably enriched. Ray Ortlund, Jr. /Senior Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church, Nashville
This is a bold project, some might say foolhardy, but Mark Dever has brilliantly succeeded. This is no mere textbook; it is powerful preaching. We are not only introduced to the sweep and message of each book of the Bible but, above all, confronted by our great God and called to obey his living word. Vaughn Roberts/ Rector, St. Ebbes Church, Oxford, England, Author of Gods Big Picture
In these distinctive overview sermons, Mark Dever manages to bring together around the core issues of each biblical book three concerns that ought to occupy every faithful preacher of Gods Word: theological content, exegetical wisdom, and pastoral application. Here is a walk through the Bible that is well worth taking! Timothy George /Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Executive Editor, Christianity Today
This is a good book, written by a pastor/scholar for people in the pew. Clear, concise, thoroughly readable. Buy two and give one to a friend. Alistair Begg /Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Chagrin Falls, Ohio
I have long desired a book that would unlock the richness of the Old Testamentassisting both the pastor in the pulpit and Christians in their devotions. This is that book.C. J. Mahaney /Sovereign Grace Ministries

Hewitt into 30th Grand Slam fourth round
More News from Agence France-Presse
NEW YORK – Australia's Lleyton Hewitt reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the 30th time in his career on Sunday with a 6-3, 7-6 (7/5), 6-1 win over Russia's Evgeny Donskoy at the US Open.
The former world number one and 2001 champion, who knocked out sixth seed and 2009 winner Juan Martin Del Potro in the second round, last reached the fourth round in New York in 2006, when he went on to the quarter-finals.
"It's always great to come back to New York where it all started for me – I won the doubles in 2000 and singles in 2001. I have played some of my best tennis here," said Hewitt, who claimed victory on a third match point.
"I think the crowd supports me because my personality is the joy of coming out to play. I feel pretty good. I have had three tough matches where I have had to keep bouncing back all the time."
The 32-year-old world number 66 will face either German 12th seed Tommy Haas or Russia's 21st seed Mikhail Youzhny for a place in the quarter-finals.
Hewitt has a 6-4 winning record over Haas, although their last meeting was back in 2004, and a 5-1 lead over Youzhny.
