Hygge: How to do 'wellness' the Scandinavian way
September 4th 2016
November 2nd 2016
Is there such a thing as a stress-free train journey? Now yes, thanks to a new partnership between the Mental Health Foundation and Virgin Trains
Keeping a stress-free train of thought when travelling can be pretty much impossible, however help is now at hand courtesy of a new partnership between the Mental Health Foundation and Virgin Trains.
Taking a cue from the Scandinavian trend for 'slow television,' the travel company and charity have created six meditative films featuring calming locations from across the UK to sit aboard Virgin Train's new Be Mindful channel. Designed to help promote a more relaxed and positive state of mind, each location has been picked for their outstanding natural beauty and includes St Margaret's Loch, Lake Windermere, the Yorkshire Dales and Loch Lomond.
Mark Rowland, Director of Fundraising and Communications for the Mental Health Foundation, said, "We're delighted to be working with Virgin Trains to launch the world's first mindfulness channel on-board. A train journey can be a great time for reflection – a perfect excuse to dedicate some time to yourself, disconnecting from the pressures of modern life and taking a step towards becoming more mindful. We want this to be the first step in equipping Virgin Trains' customers with the tools to manage their mental health and wellbeing successfully."
Patrick McCall, Co-Chairman for Virgin Trains added, "We know a lot of our customers lead busy and stressful lives, so we wanted to launch an exclusive channel to make their journeys an even more positive and relaxed experience."
The Be Mindful channel is available exclusively on BEAM, Virgin Trains' complimentary on-board content platform, across both the East coast and West coast routes. Sound like a fast-track ticket for a less stress-fuelled journey if you ask us.

Privacy is an important factor in this modern age of life as more personal information is stored on computers or mobile devices. One device though, keeps a lot of information about its owner, and that is the smartphone. Just think of this: it knows your contacts, your messages, your email accounts, your location and your financial state or credit card information.
Android users can look towards certain privacy apps that will control the amount of information that their phone is sending to various sources as well as block sensitive information or apps. We still expect Android to have on official tool that could help us to protect our privacy, but until then, we'll have to make do with apps available in the Play Store.
How to protect your privacy :
There are lots of Android privacy apps that users can install on their devices to up their security by a notch. For beginers, there are some services that allow you to see exactly what information each app has access to, and these services will notify you when you install an app that has been flagged in the database. There are specialized apps that you can use in order to protect your privacy, and today we'll be taking a look at some of them.
App blockers can also be implemented to better your Android device's privacy. They do just what the name suggests, and that is to block certain apps from sending information from your device. If you wish to have a fully protected device, then you have to use more than one Android privacy app, as each of them has a role and is best in certain cases. Even having a decent Android Firewall app can be useful sometimes.
Best 13 Android apps to safeguard your privacy
Security apps developed by these well known companies that have provided antivirus and firewall software for computer in the last 10 or more years will provide Android users with a host of features that will protect their devices, as well as great privacy security options.
- Lookout Security & Antivirus( Free ) -> This antivirus app will scan every other app on your device and alerts you if something is wrong. It also provides other features such as backup or firewall.
- Norton Security Antivirus( Free ) ->As far as I know, Norton has been all around and all of its security programs were top notch. The Norton security app for Android is no exception.
- Webroot Security & Antivirus( Free ) -> Having a secure smartphone means to scan apps as well as possibility to scan web pages or block numbers. These features and many others are provided by Webroot.
- NQ Mobile Security & Antivirus ( Free ) -> Offering a very well designed android privacy advisor, as well as other security features, NQ Mobile Security is a must have NQ is the best option for those who wants to keep their smartphones safe.
- McAfee Antivirus & Security( Free ) -> McAfee is another well known name in the field of security software. It offers Android users a host of protection features for their devices, including backup and remote wipe.
- BitdefenderClueful Privacy Advisor( Free ) ->Bitdefender has evolved a great deal in the last few years, and apps like Clueful Privacy Advisor stand witness to this rise. If you have privacy issues, then you can try this app and see how good it works.
- TrustGo Antivirus & Mobile Security( Free ) ->Trustgo is also one of the best powerful Android security apps you can use. It ensures high level of privacy for your device, as it scans all the apps installed and gives you warning message when an app is not safe.
- AVG Mobile Antivirus Security PRO( Paid ) -> AVG offers users a fairly good privacy advisor, as well as other features that enhance the security of the user's Android device.
- Privacy Master – Free App Lock( Free ) -> This app will allow you to set a PIN for accessing them as apps like email, galley or other similar ones hold sensitive information and a good app blocker is required to restrict access to them.
- Applock Master ( Free ) ->Applock Master allows users to lock any app they choose with a PIN or pattern, so when the locked apps are accessed, they require the users to unlock them. It keeps information stored within the apps safe.
- APP Lock( Free) -> APP Lock is a great way to secure your installed apps which have access to personal information. You can lock apps via pattern or PIN with only a few taps.
- Smart AppLock( App Protector ) ( Free ) -> If the problems with recent updats, LBE is a pretty good Android privacy app that users should consider using. We're sure the developers will quickly address all the issues from the latest updates.
- LBE Privacy Guard ( Free ) – > LBE is a pretty good Android privacy app that users should consider using if the app had a few problems with recent updates. We're sure the developers will quickly address all the issues from the latest updates.
With these apps you will be able to keep your Android smartphone safe, and the information contained by it will only be available to you. Also there are other apps that might be in use, such as a few Android apps to hide files and photos, which can come in handy at times, or an app like SeekDroid, that will allow you to remotely locate or wipe your phone if it is stolen or lost.

On June 7, 1863, William Patterson wrote his mother a letter from Tennessee. In the letter he reports some good news. On May 29, he received his commisson as a Captain and will likely be reassigned to Company H. However, he will not mustered into the army as a Captain until the mustering officer receives approval from Washington, D.C. He also writes a little about camp life, including the hanging of a soldier for killing a local man over money and the fact that the camp is filthy due to being in one location for so long. He also notes that he is hopeful that he will be paid soon (he hasn't been paid in 6 months) and that if he is paid, he will send some money home. He closes with a comment about not hearing from Robert since the Battle of Fredericksburg and wonders why he doesn't write. (Transcript of William letter, June 7, 1863)

I started taking photos of patriotic displays on farms,
houses, fences in 2001 and am still taking photos today
This is one of many flag photos I took in 2001. I think it
would be nice to see what other farms/ farmers or

Above Paris based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
If you think you love Paris, you owe it to yourself to get this book. You¿ll fall in love all over again . . . and probably more deeply. Whenever I go to Paris, I find myself on either the first or second level of the Eiffel Tower and on the top of the Pompidou Center. While in those locations, I marvel at the aerial majesty of Paris and wish for a higher angle from other parts of the city of light. While yearning, I always look around wondering why there are no helicopters or small planes in sight. Above Paris explains all of that. For security reasons, overflights have been banned for decades. Due to the influence and persistence of Pierre Salinger in working with the French government, Robert Cameron was given rare permission to overfly Paris enough to create the wonderful, unique photographs in this marvelous volume. The result of this special dispensation is to create an intimate portrait of Paris that felt to me much like what a hang-glider sojourn might be like. But, the old was retained as well. In Above Paris, you will see time sequences that begin with drawings of a scene, carried forward with more formal art, ground level photographs, and finally the aerial views from today. Many of the buildings look quite different from the air. As you can imagine, cathedrals were designed to provide God with a view from above as well as a perspective for people from below. God¿s view of Notre Dame was very unexpected and delightful to me. A place I love to visit for the sculptures, the Rodin Museum, shows an entirely different character from the air . . . not unlike a country estate locked inside a city. Naturally, you will see all of the major sites as well, many of which look reasonably similar from the air as they do from the ground. But the order of Paris that we normally get from maps has a unique appeal from the air that this volume captures very well indeed. The book contains some nice surprises. It goes into the suburbs and also hits the major chateaux in the area. Two of the nice treats for me that I did not expect in the book were gorgeous Veteuil and Monet¿s lily pads in the pond at Giverny. Although I have been to Paris many times, almost half of the scenes were new to me. I added quite a few places where I would like to visit as a result. I came away wondering what other important experiences I have missed because I have not yet experienced all of the right perspectives. For example, I am told that the Taj Mahal is so large that photographs cannot convey its scale. I know that is true of the Grand Canyon, and wonder what the building is really like. Perhaps we¿ll both find out some day. Donald Mitchell, co-author of The 2,000 Percent Solution and The Irresistible Growth Enterprise

Q & A with Peter Dahlin, the Swedish NGO Worker Who 'Endangered the National Security' of China
January 3, 2017
This Q & A can be read as a companion piece to the Guardian report. It focuses more on Dahlin's work, the interrogations, and the legal features of his case. Given that China's "Law on the Management of Foreign Non-Governmental Organizations" took effect on January 1, 2017, we hope the conversation offers insight and perspective. – The Editors
CHINA CHANGE: Peter, you are a Swedish national; on January 3, 2016, you were taken into custody by Chinese national security agents for allegedly "endangering national security." It was not until nine days later that the international press reported that you had been disappeared on your way to the Beijing airport. Then, on January 15 and 19, the Global Times and the Xinhua News Agency reported your detention. On January 19, in a CCTV news section, you "confessed" that you "violated the Chinese law through your activities here, caused harm to the Chinese government, and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people." While it was appalling and a pain to watch, people also laughed because everyone immediately recognized that these were forced words. On January 26, you were deported and barred from entering China for the next 10 years. A lot went on over this 23-day period, and we hope to unpack it for our readers. First of all, please tell us how events unfolded on January 3, 2016.
PETER DAHLIN: I was taken in a raid on my home in Beijing late that evening, not on my way to the airport as reported. The misunderstanding is easy to see, as I had notified a few people in the press- and diplomatic corps that I might not make it out, leading people to assume I must had been taken at the airport.
Earlier that day, I heard that high-up officials in the Beijing domestic security police were inquiring about me, following accusations against me made by individuals who had at that time been held in 'residential surveillance' from several months to half a year. Less than 10 hours after I heard about that, State Security showed up at my home, with search and detention warrants for both me and my girlfriend.
For a few weeks we had been in a 'heightened risk situation,' knowing that something could happen to me or others. We had been taking precautions, clearing out and processing paperwork, tying up loose ends, and doubling down in IT-measures. I had not only heard stories from those who had been through detentions before, but as a form of preparation also read books like the great but unfortunately-titled In the Shadow of the Rising Dragon with stories on interrogations, secret detention, torture etc. This was of course the first time I myself was taken, but over the years there had been many similar situations, and thus this procedure to prepare had been undertaken numerous times before.
In this case, I took the preparation a bit further than normal. Since similar situations of heightened risks had happened numerous times before, besides our normal organizational procedures, I also had my own. In those cases I would keep a small overnight bag packed next to the bed, with passport, some clothes, medicine, and money, along with shoes and a jacket, and more or less have memorized the night flight schedule out of Beijing – if I ever got the message or call that an action against us was being taken and would need to try to leave the country. In this case I was already scheduled to leave China just a few days after I was taken, but moved my flight up to that very same night, and packed as much as I could – knowing that if something happened and I managed to get away, I would not be able to return and would have to start anew somewhere. In the end, the raid on my home happened just a couple of hours before I was set to leave for the airport.
CHINA CHANGE: I admit that, even though I've been a busy human rights and rule of law advocate for the last three or four years, I had barely heard of your organization — Chinese Urgent Action Working Group (中国维权紧急援助组). So there is quite a bit of mystery around it. Can you describe your organization's activities in China? A New York Times report mentioned seminars, legal aid work, and training sessions. The Chinese state media portray your activities in dark, conspiratorial and menacing terms. Help us demystify them.
PETER DAHLIN: The Chinese Urgent Action Working Group (China Action) was in operation from 2009 until early 2016, and it ran a number of different programs concurrently. It was largely unknown, as we operated quietly, and even though parts of the international rights community, and much of the press and diplomatic corps knew of us, we did not allow anyone to publicly speak about us, keeping our profile as low as possible while still being able to cooperate with others. A few reports linked on our dormant Twitter account are about the only public information available.
Since its founding, China Action has responded to attacks on lawyers, journalists, and other rights defenders, especially women defenders, but perhaps our main focus has been on training and capacity development for rights defenders. We have specialized in barefoot lawyers, with the goal of strengthening the legal movement and civil society, to develop the rule of law and improve protections for Chinese citizens.
Our founding program was the urgent action program, working to arrange lawyers for human rights defenders (HRDs) at risk and to provide needed financial assistance for victims' families, ranging from support for housing, medical bills, or a child's education. We paid special attention to women HRDs and grassroots activists who often lacked the network and support of more high-profile defenders. We did this both on our own as well as in partnership with international and regional organizations. Later on, for the last few years, we have also had a subsection of that program to specifically address and arrange help for those with mental health support needs after detentions, kidnappings, interrogations etc.
Although primarily about direct support, through the urgent action program we also engaged in limited advocacy measures around priority cases, which involved ensuring diplomatic attention in Beijing or foreign capitals and communication with relevant human rights special procedures of the United Nations, and participation in the Universal Periodic Review of China, both alone and in collaboration with international organizations.
Many people may not be aware that governments and institutions in the EU and other countries have been offering assistance to Chinese state actors involved in the judicial system, such as police, judges, or prosecutors, in developing the "rule of law" (rule by law really), which is important. At the same time, at least until recently, there was a growing number of international and in particular Hong Kong-based organizations that provide financial assistance and training for licensed rights defense lawyers who work on public interest and rights defense cases. Unfortunately this approach has left a key group without any support. Due to financial or geographic limitations, the majority of rights abuse victims in China must rely on unlicensed barefoot lawyers, and yet this is precisely the group that has been most left out of the majority of rule of law development efforts. This is why we focused on barefoot lawyers, and our work was more preventive than reactive, with focus on training and capacity development to address the gaping hole in access to legal aid, especially among rural or poorer Chinese citizens.
CHINA CHANGE: Speaking of barefoot lawyers, Chen Guangcheng (陈光诚) immediately comes to mind. Guo Feixiong (郭飞雄) was a barefoot lawyer too in his early rights defense activities. Another example is Ni Yulan (倪玉兰). These are citizens who are not licensed lawyers, but who seek to defend rights through legal means. This is fascinating. Tell us more.
PETER DAHLIN: Because they are not licensed, the barefoot lawyers can almost never take up criminal cases. But in China, the main procedures for defending rights against government abuse are administrative laws and regulations, and this is where any citizen can get involved (although legal efforts by the State to limit their ability to take on cases continue). Barefoot lawyers can thus be both self-taught legal activists as well as lawyers who have lost their licenses. The work takes the form of filing lawsuits against government bodies responsible for illegal behavior such as torture, arbitrary detention, or forced evictions and demolitions. Barefoot lawyers have also taken the lead in testing and pushing the use of China's 2008 Regulations on the Disclosure of Government Information (《中华人民共和国政府信息公开条例》), scoring many successes. As a result, we have witnessed increased use of the Regulations in defending human rights.
In order to improve barefoot lawyers' knowledge and practice of the Administrative Law, information disclosure regulations, and other procedures, China Action has run a number of different training programs since 2009. For example, our programs ranged from in-depth week-long training sessions in administrative law, shorter trainings on information disclosure, to specific legal issues, depending on the needs of target beneficiary groups.
To maximize the result and output of the main program, we designed the program in what we believe was both an innovative and cost-effective way:
A rights defense lawyer and an experienced barefoot lawyer would be responsible for each in-depth legal training session, selecting a group of participants from a cohesive area, along with guest teachers. Of those trained in these in-depth sessions, which would also include training in freedom of information (FOI) regulations, we would then select from the best of more suitable students, and arrange for them to, on a more local level, arrange their own shorter training in FOI or another specific legal topic. Thus the larger and more extensive trainings would give us a pool of local teachers for such smaller trainings.
When needed, a lawyer or barefoot lawyer in our network would attend those local trainings to assist. Finally, from the group trained in these shorter local trainings, the trainer would select the most dedicated participants and offer support for them to organize their own local trainings at the most grassroots level, to extend the output among the trainee's friends and fellow barefoot lawyers.
This triple layer system allowed us to not only extend our results to the most local levels in a relatively low key and safe manner, but to ensure significant multiplier effects, all while keeping the costs very low.
Another key aspect of the training activities was about nurturing mutual trust among participants, which is part of the reason our training groups were never larger than 10 people, and always drawn from a coherent geographic area. This is especially important for barefoot lawyers who tend to have experience with only one or two particular legal issues. In this way, drawing a group of 10 barefoot lawyers from, say, Shandong to spend a week of in-depth study together would create new connections and expand their effectiveness, as they can build a mutual support network when dealing with issues outside their area of expertise. Each group would also get a direct connection to both the rights defense and barefoot lawyers arranging the training, greatly expanding networks for us as an organization, as well as for the participants, who would get a direct link to a mentor from who they could seek guidance.
The organization designed its own curriculum for these training and capacity development activities. A large part of that has included creating practical self-study guides with the beneficiaries, pairing the experts with the beneficiaries to create not only practical guides on, for example, information disclosure regulations or administrative detentions, but also manuals that deal with what the beneficiaries actually want. This approach would seem obvious, but looking at a lot of the material available, it often seems it's produced by experts telling the readers/beneficiaries what they think they should know, instead of developing the material together with the group itself.
Finally, connecting the urgent action program and the training and capacity activities, the organization has also been working, on a small scale, to set up what we referred to as 'legal aid stations' around the country run by barefoot lawyers to enhance access to justice. This third core component thus consisted of barefoot lawyers who would receive training in issues ranging from arbitrary detention to information disclosure, alongside minor ongoing financial support, and they would then provide pro-bono assistance to victims in their respective regions. Many of these cases would have clear public interest components to them.
CHINA CHANGE: During your custody, did the Chinese security investigators tell you which of these activities are illegal and endangering China's national security?
PETER DAHLIN: We always assumed that their key interest would be our work with urgent actions, and they certainly had a very strong interest in knowing which lawyers had been engaged for different cases, but their key interest turned out to be the barefoot lawyers we supported to provide pro-bono legal aid. They wanted to know about our 'legal aid stations.' When we first started, each station had several staff and an office, but beyond the very beginning stage, the aid was actually carried out by only one individual lawyer. However, we kept internally referring to them as 'legal aid stations', meaning State Security at first assumed that they were local branches of the organization, which of course was not the case at all.
They also had an interest in the various training activities, many of which over the years had been shut down by either local police or provincial state security. They found a few questionnaires from one of those trainings (distributed at all training activities for evaluation purposes), and found that some of the answers were rather anti-Party. That wasn't helpful.
In general though, my own placement under 'residential surveillance at a designated location' was mostly because of the incompetence of State Security. They had been led, wrongly, to believe that I was personally involved in a list of activities, which I was not, and could easily prove I was not.
A key focus of my interrogations was lawyer Wang Quanzhang (王全璋), who has now been held in secret custody for over a year. Wang and I worked closely for many years, but we parted ways and haven't worked together since early 2014. Our work was regarding holding trainings, offering informal mentoring to local lawyers, providing criminal defense for those facing trial, and developing training materials. It would be a stretch even for the State Security to argue that any of these was bad for China, let alone being illegal.
CHINA CHANGE: You said that Chinese security organs had been monitoring your organization's activities before your detention. Can you expand on that? How did they do so?
PETER DAHLIN: Beginning in 2013, a co-worker was repeatedly summoned by another branch of State Security for long sessions of questioning. Using carrots and sticks, State Security tried to make this person a 'mole,' who would continue working with us but report to the police on me, my co-founder Michael Caster, and lawyers we worked with, or any others who worked with us. State Security asked this co-worker to make copies of documentation the person had access to, and any work I gave this person to do. On several other occasions we found that either I or Michael Caster had come up in police questioning of rights defenders we had worked with.
CHINA CHANGE: You were detained in what's essentially a black jail for 23 days, and you said you were interrogated every day. I'm always interested in knowing the questions they asked. Do you think you can go into more detail about your interrogations?
PETER DAHLIN: Overall, the interrogations were made harder by two facts: They found almost no paperwork in their raids, and their disappointment was visible when they raided my home. But they had taken in up to five people in this operation (and I also assumed that these people had been taken, although initially I could not be sure) and they were getting (some) information from them, which they used as leads for their interrogation of me. Three earlier partners had at this point been missing for many months, placed under 'residential surveillance at a designated location', and numerous other staff and partners, (then-) current and previous, had been detained and/or questioned throughout the summer, autumn and winter of 2015.
However, all core organizational aspects, details on projects, financing etc., have been the domain of only myself and Michael Caster. Others have been involved only in parts of a project or projects, without details on the organization as a whole. This was not what State Security had assumed early on. Making it clear that this was the responsibility of myself and Michael was imperative to lessen the burden on other staff and partners.
Michael was not in China at the time of the crackdown. I, being a Westerner with, I assumed, strong diplomatic support, felt a much greater sense of security than any Chinese national would. This, alongside with much information, accounts, banking etc., being based outside of mainland Chinese jurisdiction, also gave me a good position.
Thus, claiming to focus only on the administrative aspect of our work, and having poor Chinese language abilities, I could convincingly claim to only know the general outline of our work, but not the specifics for each project, and this approach allowed me to protect others.
I could, and did, also maintain the line, which is also true, that all our work had one thing in common, namely to enhance the practical application of law, that is, improve the enforcement of law, which is lacking greatly in China. We did not even involve ourselves in advocacy to improve the law itself, but focused on simply bringing practice in line with the law, especially on provincial and local levels. Even though the law is not meant to be followed to some extent, having this focus should logically decrease how and to what extent we are seen as a threat.
Despite this approach to limit what I needed to say, they did utilize extensive technical forensics on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, USBs, etc. Everything stored is done so in encrypted form, and they never got the passwords to access those. On the other hand, using file recovery programs they could access parts of documents that had been worked on, deleted, etc. What they could get was limited, but they were able to gain access to some new documents or parts of documents every day.
This meant that I had to plan my interrogation keeping in mind to limit information, remove details such as names, locations etc., while at the same time make sure not to say anything that might be contradicted by the document they might have the next day. Keeping this in mind late at night after hours of questioning was perhaps the hardest part, but due to preparation it went fairly well. Basically, I had to make sure not to directly lie, but also make sure to not give out information that could be used against me or others.
The first 24 hours, I was under detention and not residential surveillance, they asked about my background, family and education, a few coworkers, and they also brought up the names of Wang Quanzhang, Xing Qingxian (幸清贤) and Su Changlan (苏昌兰). The first three days were handled by a 'bad cop' interrogator, who overplayed his hand and made me uncooperative, since I don't respond well to being forced. After that, a 'good cop' took over most interrogations. All along I knew my girlfriend, who has no connection to my work, was sitting in the same facility somewhere, unable to give them anything, which at least at first I assumed State Security would think of as being uncooperative and possibly take measures to try to force non-existent information out of her.
For the first two weeks there was, on average, one session per day, lasting usually five to six hours, often held throughout the evening and night, with some minor variation. Later on they would accompany those with what I came to think as 'fireside chats,' with the 'good cop' coming into my cell, opposite to the interrogation room, to have informal chats. He'd offer cigarettes and an occasional Nescafé. These fireside chats would allow for more philosophical discussions, and for me to offer more extended explanation on why I disagreed with this or that.
Later on, one interrogation session would also double as a lie detector test, or 'psychological test to enhance communication' as they framed it. They attached electrodes to my fingers and used specialist cameras on the pupils, asking me a combination of test and real questions. The guy brought in to administer it couldn't quite get it working, and in the end they didn't seem to get anything from it, and stopped it for the last part of that interrogation session.
They used an interpreter at the interrogations, but as time went on they started to shed that charade, since the interrogators had far better English than the interpreters.
Two weeks into my detention, they realized that neither I nor China Action was related to the alleged crimes of Xing Qingxian and Su Changlan. They also realized we did not work with Fengrui Law Firm (锋锐律师事务所), and had had no partnership with Wang Quanzhang for years. On top of that, upon learning that the activities I developed and worked on with Wang were related to provision of legal aid, training lawyers, and developing training materials, they must have realized that these would not be all that useful to smear him or convict him of any national security crimes.
They also became aware of my medical condition and just how serious it was. Not wanting to have a dead Western human rights activist on their hands, they paid close attention to my condition for the rest of my custody, which limited what methods they could use against me. I also knew that media broke the story after the first two weeks, and it was quickly gaining momentum, as I had expected it would. I realized that media had broken the story because the interrogator asked me one day about the reporter, Megha Rajagopalan at Reuters who first wrote about it. The annoyance and anger was very clear.
It must be around this time that they decided to eventually deport me and move on. For the remaining days, they tried to get from me as much information about how NGOs work and about civil society in general. Of course I would also be used as a propaganda tool against foreigners, civil society, and NGO work. For the last week or so the amount of interrogations dwindled, and besides some more "fireside chats" I was just killing time waiting for the next step in the process. This mostly consisted of staring into the suicide padded wall, spending time doing some basic calisthenics, and trying to remember Bob Dylan lyrics. His song "Love minus zero / no limit" was especially helpful to keep my mind occupied for a few days. Each day and every minute was feeling longer, not shorter, and it started getting to me.
Many people who talk on the subject of solitary confinement mention that at some point your thoughts turn to suicide. It was never a serious consideration for me, but yes, at some point I spent hours analyzing the room and considering the possibilities for committing suicide. The padding and setup was so meticulous, though, that I realized it was not going to be possible even if I wanted to.
CHINA CHANGE: The reports said that your organizations received grants from various sources, the largest donor being EU, but the Chinese seem to have a fixation on NED – the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy. How is that?
PETER DAHLIN: The EU was by far our largest donor, but my interrogators had almost no interest in this fact. Instead their focus was on NED, whose support to us, being crucial for one of our key programs and the organization as a whole, was nonetheless limited to a few hundred thousand dollars through the five years the program ran. To some extent they were also interested in rapid response assistance groups like Front Line Defenders. Me pointing out that the EU had supported numerous training activities for Chinese state actors, and that we were basically just doing the same for barefoot lawyers perhaps made them realize focusing on the EU angle would be more difficult in terms of painting it as a crime, a threat to national security, or in general play the 'anti-China forces' card. At this point they had also stopped trying to paint me as an EU spy.
Specifically, they wanted me to admit that NED was guiding us, that they were the ones giving orders on what we should do. I think this was partially because it'd fit their narrative, but also (to a lesser extent) because they don't understand the grantmaker and grantee relationship. Likewise, they liked to refer to the barefoot lawyers we support as our 'branches.'
Naturally they also inquired about other organizations, like International Service for Human Rights, who provides training on international law related issues (outside of China), and various groups based in Hong Kong. They however had very little information on our work with such groups, and it passed as a topic of conversation.
State Security became aware of our 'legal aid station' work from an internal NED document they somehow had access to, but the document did not contain names or exact locations, so a fair amount of time was spent on interrogating me about who these lawyers were. The names of some of the lawyers were provided by coworkers, and later documents they retrieve through file recovery work on hard drives etc. provided the legal aid station lawyers' names. In the end, State Security gathered enough information about it, and it was the first program to be shut down as we started closing the organization after my deportation.
CHINA CHANGE: I have read a fair amount of interrogations of Chinese human rights defenders, and the interrogators always want to know whom they are connected to. I imagine they want to know every single person you have worked with or known in China.
PETER DAHLIN: They seemed to place a lot more interest on people than the work. They asked about a long list of people — some appeared in documents they had found, and others whose names had come up during interrogations of someone else. They wanted to know who attended our trainings, but they seem to accept that, due to the breadth and amount of our work, I could not have retained names of attendees of various trainings in my head, or even which teachers had been involved in what trainings. They also asked me about people simply because they are well known HRDs, key rights defense lawyers, and NGO workers. But I maintained, as I had done earlier, that my work focused on administrative issues and, having poor Chinese, I had very limited knowledge of most of these people, except for a few which they already had evidence that we had worked with directly.
They assumed that we would have connection with domestic NGOs, but that was in fact not the case. Likewise, our cooperation with international groups is limited to a handful of groups. They spent considerable time trying, but got very little on that topic. Same with the Fengrui Law Firm and people like Wang Yu and Li Heping, with whom we have had only limited contact.
They spent considerable time trying to convince me that some coworkers had ratted me out and I should respond in kind and come clean, basically that all blame was being placed on me, and if I didn't defend myself my fate would be far worse. This mostly just triggered my Churchillian instinct. When they realized after repeated attempts that I would do nothing but defend them, they gave up. I remember repeating the same line over and over again: These people "not only constitute the best China has to offer, but people any nation should be proud to have as their citizens."
CHINA CHANGE: The television confession — tell us what that was like.
PETER DAHLIN: Toward the end, when it became clear that deportation was likely, a late night final deposition was made in the interrogation room which basically summarized the key points they had learned from interrogations of me and others.
The focus was to try to find an angle to smear Wang Quanzhang. Considerable time had been spent on calling Wang a criminal, despite me pointing out almost daily that his case had not even been transferred to prosecutor, let alone having resulted in a conviction. Similarly, they refused to point out any activity by Wang that was actually a crime, except saying his work threatened national security, and that he has defended 'evil cult' practitioners and used his social media to highlight his work as a lawyer.
The next day, in the early evening, the 'good cop' walked into my cell. Cigarettes and small talk. He said a panel of judges would decide on my fate, whether bringing charges or deportation. The best way, he said, would be to record an interview on camera for them to review. Knowing that they already finished the active investigation and would not get any more information by an interview, that my girlfriend would be kept for as long as I would, and that only with my deportation would she be set free, and also knowing that time was ticking in terms of my medical condition (by that time I had already lost some 5-6 kilos), I said yes.
What followed is easy to imagine. He came back with a paper with both questions and answers written down, which in their mind 'summarized' our discussions over these weeks. Some arguments followed as they wanted me to call Wang, Xing and Su criminals, despite none of them having been tried. My refusal was finally accepted and some changes were made.
When I saw the final line on that paper, "having hurt the feelings of the Chinese people," I realized that the recording was obviously for CCTV, though they had never said so. Later, when I was led into a meeting room, also part of the same secure wing as the cell and interrogation room, I saw the CCTV 'journalist' and her cameraman.
The CCTV lady was about my age, perhaps slightly older, not overly friendly, but relaxed and someone with obvious experience as an interviewer. All the key State Security people, maybe 8 of them or so, were sitting in the back behind myself, the CCTV woman and the camera man. We ran through the questions and answers pretty quickly. The only hiccup was saying that final line on hurt feelings. After the 4th attempt the 'journalist' said to me, "you really don't want to say this, do you?"
However, that line on hurt feelings is a key reason I agreed to do it despite knowing it was for CCTV and PR. It's a well-known meme in the China community, and I knew that everyone would know the true nature of the 'confession' when they heard that line. Basically, including that line negated the whole purpose of it, from the point of view of the international community, and to some extent, inside China too.
CHINA CHANGE: Following your deportation, the Beijing-based lawyer and legal scholar Zhang Qingfang (张庆方) penned a commentary, taking issue with the legal procedure of your deportation. He said that the deportation order should have been made by a court if you were guilty of a crime, or by the PSB or national security agency if you were found to have violated an administrative statute but had not committed a crime. Your case had never been brought to a Chinese court, and yet the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying announced that you confessed to having committed "the crime of funding criminal activities that endanger China's national security." She, a government spokeswoman, convicted you of two crimes in one breath! I bring this up because the arbitrariness of the entire episode highlights precisely the importance of your organization's work and the work of those barefoot lawyers and human rights defenders. It's so basic – it's the ABC of ABC of the rule of law, yet it's not acceptable to the Chinese government and it's demonized by state propaganda.
PETER DAHLIN: As far as the law is concerned, I was placed under residential surveillance and investigated for violation of Article 107 — using foreign funding for illegal and subversive activities. But besides accusing me of supporting Su Changlan's alleged protests and of me being the mastermind behind Xing Qingxian and Tang Zhishun's alleged crime of taking Bao Zhuoxuan, the son of Wang Yu and Bao Longjun, across China's borders, they could not really pinpoint any activity that I had undertaken that would be illegal (besides illegal business operations, which is not a national security crime). And I had nothing to do with these two incidents anyway.
Their argument that actions supported by us would challenge national security, based on the National Security Law, is easily dismissible. They did spend time picking on our operating in the mainland without registration, and thus failing to pay tax, but that was not the crime I was accused of and it seemed just a minor issue for them.
In the end, I was deported under the new Espionage Law, but was not allowed to receive any documentation of any kind about any step in the legal process against me: the list of confiscated items, the house search, personal search, detention, residential surveillance, deportation, and the ban from entering China for 10 years — nothing.
Also, deportation under criminal charges would require a court decision, with notification to the embassy, myself, and the allowance of a lawyer, even if only a state-appointed one — but none of those things happened. That would render the process itself illegal, since deportation can only be decided by the police if it's part of an administrative punishment, and if the latter is true I would first have to be released from criminal detention and moved to an administrative detention facility. Even with the world watching, China's police and justice system couldn't even operate, despite having such a wide range of tools and exceptions available, within their own law.
CHINA CHANGE: The way your case was dealt with, the Chinese law is apparently irrelevant despite all the rhetoric of the state media about the law being served. What do you think your real 'crime' is anyway? The Global Times said you stepped on a red line, what's the red line?
PETER DAHLIN: Well, it's hard to know who claimed I had participated or directed actions that led to "crimes," as all of these people remain detained and incommunicado. So what led to the action being taken, I don't know.
What can be said is that nothing that I was doing in 2016 was any different from, say, 2013. What earlier led them to want to monitor and keep tabs on us now meant they wanted to take us down. That would be in line with a general harshening of the climate, a greater focus on "anti-China" or "foreign forces" in their work to counter civil society growth, and also seeing an opportunity to use me as a tool concurrent with the new law and regulations on foreign funding and NGO operation.
CHINA CHANGE: Before and around the year 2008, the international community was euphoric about China embracing international norms. I remember there was a catchy phrase in those years in state media: "China and the World Joining Tracks" ("与世界接轨"), about China's supposed integration into the world order. Today you don't hear this phrase anymore and China's outlook has changed. Many independent NGOs have been shut down over the past couple of years. You came to China almost 10 years ago as a young man, and 10 years later you were expelled as a national security threat. Do you have any final thoughts as we conclude this Q and A?
PETER DAHLIN: Outsiders are slow to react and adjust their thinking, which I guess is natural. However, it will become harder and harder for outsiders, including politicians, to keep up the charade that China is continuing its peaceful rise and, if only incrementally, developing a system of laws, and therefore creating a better society. The longer Xi Jinping stays in power, the harder it will be to continue to pretend things are developing in the right direction — but few nations want to be the first to reverse course in how to develop ties and interact with China, especially if economic ties are threatened. Luckily, China is so inept at PR that their threats against sovereign nations who seek to change course are becoming clearer, with the UK being a good example. Not even the Tory party can pretend anymore, as seen in the report they released (The Darkest Moment).
Despite having my life's work, in a professional sense, thrown into the garbage, and the fact that my lifelong medical condition came from my time in China, I'd still say it was worth every bit despite the risks. We cannot publicize the specifics of our work, especially on urgent actions, but knowing the results for myself was enough to motivate me to continue. Even if the positive results we saw as a result of our interventions were cut in half, I'd still say it was worth it all. Sometimes you've got to "put your money where your mouth is," as they say, and I believe I did that.
'I Can't Stay Out of This' — Two Statements on the Zhang Kai Case
By Li Xiaoming and Wang Yi, translation by China Change, published: March 3, 2016
"As I watched Zhang Kai's so-called TV confession, my heart ached to no end," a Chinese Twitter user wrote. He speaks for many of us. Zhang appeared thin and haggard, his dishevelled hair and lusterless eyes all the image of a concentration camp prisoner. He sounded as though he'd been forced to read a script prepared for him by his tormentors. Watching him is like watching our brother being cornered and strong-armed, or our sister raped, as we stand by, helpless. We are pained, but fall silent. What's more, we begin to think it's alright to say and do nothing. Then there are those who can no longer "stay out of it." We are deeply grateful to these voices, few they may be. — The Editors
A Statement by an Ordinary Christian
I, Li Xiaoming, of Mongolian ethnicity, am an intern lawyer in Beijing. I was born in 1989. My identification number is 15042319890806051X. In around 2008 I became attracted to Christianity, but only in early 2015 did I form a conviction to believe in the Lord. On May 10, 2015, I was baptized.
For the last two years the government has been tearing down crosses from churches in Zhejiang and arresting pastors, Christian lawyers, and believers who put up resistance. Recently, they have also hauled Christian lawyer Zhang Kai onto television for a forced confession, blatantly shaming the church of God. As an ordinary citizen, and as an ordinary Christian, I want to express my severe opposition to this behavior, and to demand that the government acts according to the law, honors citizens' rights to religious freedom granted in the constitution, and immediately ceases its persecution.
From the perspective of my faith, I see the enormous peril that Chinese churches are in: that they have fallen far short of the glory that God has bestowed upon them is an established fact. Does God allow the removal of crosses to take place in so widespread a manner because the Christian church in China is not worthy of the honor of the cross?
In light of this, I put forward three questions for my brothers and sisters in the church to consider:
1) Has China got any Christian churches that truly practice righteousness, exercise mercy, and follow the example of Jesus? Why have I not yet seen any church, in its own name, make a solemn statement expressing its position against the severe persecution we saw recently?
2) Apart from Wang Yi (王怡), the lead pastor of the Early Rain Reformed Church in Chengdu (成都秋雨之福教会), I've seen no public stance taken by any other church. I'd like to know why, when pastors see one of their limbs tortured, they are content to sit in silence? If they are to face Jesus one day, will they be content in their hearts with what they've done?
3) Every Chinese Christian should kneel down and turn toward God, search inside their own hearts, and ask whether they have failed to live up to the glory of Jesus, whether they have been cruel and unscrupulous, whether they have forgotten the favor bestowed upon them, and whether they have treated reading the gospel as no more than having fun. If we're reproached by the Holy Spirit, then what should we do under the current circumstances? Continue along calmly, or burn brightly for the Lord? All, please read Revelations 3—this is a question that no Christian can avoid.
I'm a weak, unworthy, useless criminal; before Jesus I'm a lamb. But I know that there is no way I can stay out of this—my conscience doesn't allow me stay silent any longer. My statement is my own, and does not represent any organization, or my church. It represents myself alone.
Lord, if my statement does not conform to your will, please reproach me: I am willing to repent. Lord, with your spirit of holy benevolence, please lead us to the Way of the Cross.
Lord, I know that once this statement is published I will face danger, but no matter what, nothing can separate me from your love, and I know you love me.
"I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it." (Psalm 39:9) I believe that you're in charge of everything—I just pray that you'll be with me.

Wang Yi: A Personal Statement on the Zhang Kai Case
Lawyer Zhang Kai is, with me, a brother of the church—and he's also my most respected friend.
For years, a lot of people have been sincerely asking a false question: will the Cultural Revolution return? Many seriously ponder what is an absurd proposition—how can we prevent the tragedy from repeating itself? But the truth is that a new round of cultural revolution has already been underway for years. Or perhaps even decades? In reality, is there a day when we have really stepped outside of the Cultural Revolution's framework? The real question is how we can break free from this warped and irrational age. Tonight, my Lord, allow me to howl the pain felt by Zhang Kai as he is whipped, and to be healed by the scourging you have suffered.
What physical and spiritual torment can annihilate the will of a man who believes in God? What Brother Zhang Kai was eventually unable to bear, I don't imagine I'd be able to bear half of. Aside from faith in Grace, what else can I believe in? Christianity came to China over 1,000 years ago, and the gospel has been taught for over 200 years. But the cultural revolution targeting the beliefs of Christians in China have never ceased, and the Boxers have never been disbanded. Lord, your servant has been crushed so—help me to rise!
Among the believers I know, Zhang Kai is a man of steel. And in recent years, of those who have been forced onto television to confess crimes they did not commit, who were made to affix their signature to a letter of repentance, who of them were also not firm and unyielding? Isn't it precisely the horror of the sinful world that drives us to seek shelter in the grace of the Lord? No matter who is saved for their resilience, I praise God for also saving those of us who are weak.
As a pastor, there is something else that hurts me: it's that in facing down the pressure of crosses being demolished, Zhang Kai did many things that should have been done directly by church leaders. It would have been perfectly sufficient if he had simply done the technical, legal work. The absence of the church leadership led a believer who ought to have been nourished and cared for to stand on the frontlines of the church's spiritual battle. It was almost like the Muslim siege of Constantinople, when the invaders charged upon horses into the church throwing pikes, a bishop dodged to the side, and a spear killed a believer at the Communion.
Lord: I ask that you reproach the church, reproach your servants, and I ask that you watch closely over Brother Zhang Kai, safeguard his conscience, immerse him in your precious blood. Just as you asked Peter three times: Do you love me? My Lord: I wish that you ask Zhang Kai the same, loudly in his heart, 30 times, so he may be built anew by you, and so that us lowly servants will be ashamed.
Of the many "crimes" mentioned in the "big character poster"* condemning Zhang Kai, one is that he had planned to meet a foreign official and expose the destruction of crosses in Wenzhou. This official was the ambassador of U.S. religious freedom who came to visit China in August of last year. I myself also met this American ambassador of religious freedom, and have also discussed with "foreign figures" the matter of religious freedom in China. According to this logic, I share the same crime as Zhang Kai.
Another "crime" of Zhang Kai is that he often attended conferences held abroad, discussing strategies for Christian house churches to defend their rights. I attended these conferences with him on multiple occasions, and participated in the same discussions.
Also on the official "big character poster" was the chief crime levelled against Zhang Kai: that he called the government campaign to tear down crosses as "illegal constructions" persecution of the church.
This compels me to make this solemn statement: my view on the matter is entirely identical to that of Zhang Kai. All along, whether in public or in private, I have called the forced removal of crosses by the government (under the guise of removing "illegal constructions") as a clear case of persecution of the church, and a shameful trampling of freedom of belief.
As such, I should obviously be prosecuted for having committed the same crimes as Zhang Kai did. I am thus reporting myself to the authorities; I promise to testify, and to respond to all questions by the Wenzhou Public Security Bureau.
My official identification number is 510722197306018819.

UBBC Limited was founded by Graham Deane in 2008 and is exploring the applications of formal knowledge representation.
The mantra understanding builds better commerce reflects the commitment to show that organisations can identify opportunities for growth by tapping into the knowledge that surrounds them to inform decision making, planning and operations.
Commercial activities were suspended while I was researching techniques for reasoning in the presence of inconsistencies at the Department of Computing, Imperial College in London. I have now completed my doctoral studies in this field and more information will follow shortly.
Please contact me for availability.
Reasoning about a domain relies on constructing an accurate formal model of the domain knowledge. However, in real-word environments, we must accept that some information may be missing or inaccurate. This leads to the introduction of inconsistencies in the model and automated reasoning in the presence of inconsistent information is a challenging open problem.
Models must be created efficiently to allow cost effective deployment within organisations. The Semantic Web initiative is driving a fundamental transition towards distributed formal knowledge representation. The Web Ontology Languages (OWL) formalise an approach for sharing and reusing knowledge. We have been researching techniques for reasoning about (possibly inconsistent) knowledge represented using OWL 2 and have developed an implementation based on Answer Set Programming (ASP).

Jacoby Ellsbury was also a finalist in center field, but he lost to Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones. Pedroia is now a three-time winner, and Victorino's win is the fourth of his career and his first in the AL.

Cairn Energy may need approval from the government to sell a stake in its Indian arm, Petroleum Secretary S Sundareshan said on Friday.
India-focused Vedanta Resources is in talks with Cairn Energy, which has a 62.37 per cent stake in Cairn India, to buy a stake in the unit, both companies confirmed on Thursday.
Such a deal would be the diversified miner's first move into oil and gas.
Sundareshan said he had learnt from Cairn India that discussions between the two firms were at a preliminary stage.

|Silent Failures
|Thu, 13 Jun 2002 21:28:14 GMT
1. When attempting to use the startup.sh script, what appears to be a "silent failure" occurs that turns out to be simply an inordinately long startup time. The script finishes right away, but:. * There are no indications of progress as the startup proceeds. * There is no indication of success when it completes. * It doesn't tell the name of the log file where errors might be found. 2. Similarly, when accessing tools like the manager and admin tools, there is a long, long wait that has made me think the server must be down, with nothing that says, "Wait...", or any kind of progress indicator. 3. Finally, when attempting to install an application using a Manager task in an ant build, the script simply hangs. After about 10 minutes, I decided it must be hung, anyway. Again, there was no inidcation of what log file (if any) I might inspect to find out what is happening. (I believe I have found it now, but when first starting out, the accumulated crescendo of silence from these issues was deafening.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com>

Mush-Boom is Nightcap's premium legendary plant signature superpower trick card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Kabloom and Smarty classes. It costs 1 to play, and its abilities make a 1/1 Poison Mushroom with the Anti-Hero 2 trait on a selected lane, and do 2 damage to a zombie on that lane.
Its name is a portmanteau of "mushroom" and "boom."
- Classes: Kabloom, Smarty
- Tribes: Mushroom Superpower Trick
- Abilities: Make a 1/1 Poison Mushroom with Anti-Hero 2. Do 2 damage to a Zombie there.
- Set - Rarity: Premium - Legendary
Card description
Nightcap and his mushroom friends are not to be truffled with.
Update history
Update 1.2.11
- Name change: Toadstool Takedown → Mush-Boom
If you get this trick at the beginning of the game, it is recommended to use it immediately, as most zombies that cost 1 brain are easily destroyed by this trick. If that zombie is destroyed, the Poison Mushroom made by this trick can land a hit on your opponent.
However, if your opponent does not send out a zombie on the first turn, beware, as they may be saving their brain for a trick like Bungee Plumber, which can easily destroy Poison Mushroom. It is also a bit of a waste since its ability can only do damage to a zombie fighter and not to your opponent directly.
In the mid-to-late-game, try not to choose lanes where Mush-Boom's ability cannot destroy the zombie on it, as Poison Mushroom loses its usefulness without its Anti-Hero boost. But even then, you should have other plants that can do better than Poison Mushroom, so it may not be a bad idea to use this trick on a lane with a zombie with up to 3 health and destroy it.
In the early-game, it is recommended to save your brains (unless you have a Cat Lady, Bungee Plumber, Nibble, or any damaging superpower), because if you use your brains to play a zombie, Mush-Boom destroys that zombie, causing you to lose both that zombie and 3 health. Stalling your opponent and giving them no clear opportunity to safely play this trick works in your favor, as Mush-Boom's effectiveness diminishes when you can play zombies that Mush-Boom cannot destroy.
Of course, you can just take 3 damage on the first turn and retaliate next turn.
- Its description has a pun: "truffle" (a type of mushroom), instead of "trifle" (to act with disrespect towards).
- When the dragon flies around, Nightcap freezes in place until the dragon is gone. But if a card is played, the dragon instantly disappears and Nightcap also resumes his animations.
