ArtsQuest at WaterColor 2013 Photos
About this gallery
ArtsQuest celebrated its 25th edition this year and continues to grow and improve every year. This year was the first at WaterColor and most folks in the know figured it would be a great venue, judging by the many years of successful Art In The Park events every March.
Cerulean Park was the centerpiece with its beautiful gardens, water fountains, watercourse, pond, several stages, strolling musicians, demonstrations, interactive displays, and wine tents.
ArtsQuest weekend featured 130 exhibiting artists, art workshops, live demonstrations, music, and more. One of the largest arts festivals in the Southeast, ArtsQuest attracts talented artists from around the country to South Walton to participate in the juried art show and compete for $10,000 in cash awards. Exhibiting artists' mediums include glass, metal, mixed media, and sculpture, among many others.
New this year, Chan's Wine World partnered with the CAA to host WineQuest, wine and cheese tasting. With a passport in hand, wine lovers had the opportunity to try wine and cheeses from five of the world's top wine-producing regions--Italy, France, Chile, Spain and South Africa. The wine stations were arranged throughout the festival.
Kids had their own Quest! A hunt that led children throughout the festival looking for clues to "ImagiNation-Where Kids Rule." With their TreasureQuest map in hand, children enjoyed a treasure trove of interactive arts and crafts stations that encouraged creativity.

Ian George ½ - ½ Lloyd Retallick
Emigrant Cup 2014, Rd.5
Notes by Ian George
A fluctuating struggle from the last round of the Emigrant.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.Re1 Nd6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.Nxe5 Be7 8.d4 0-0 9.Nd2 Bg5
9...f6 10.Nd3 Re8 is better. When the bishop is attacked he must either move it again or exchange it, in the latter case weakening the defence of his king.
10.Ndf3 Bxc1 11.Qxc1 Qf6 12.c4 h6
The purpose of this move is not clear. 12...Re8 is better.
This weakening of the pawn structure can't be a good idea. 14...b6 15.Qa4 c5 16.dxc5 bxc5 17.Qa5 Bb7 18.b3+/-
No need to hurry. 15.Rad1 b6 16.Qa4+/-

24.a4 is worth considering in order to prevent black from increasing the activity of the black rook with ...a4.
25.Nd4!? controlling the f5 square.
White is unnecessarily afraid of creating pawn weaknesses on the Q-side but this allows black to build up more pressure. 26.Rxd8+ Rxd8 27.bxa4 Ra8 28.Ne2 Rxa4 29.Nc3 Ra5 30.Re3 should hold.
The knight is now trapped. 27.Nc1 Rxd1 28.Rxd1 Nc3-/+

National memorial is a designation in the United States for a protected area that memorializes a historic person or event.[1] National memorials are authorized by the United States Congress. The memorial need not be located on a site directly related to the subject[1] and many, such as the Lincoln Memorial, do not have the word "national" in their titles.
There are 29 national memorials owned and administered by the National Park Service as official units. Five more are administered by other organizations but receive assistance from and are considered affiliated areas of the NPS. The earliest and perhaps most recognizable is the uniquely designated Washington Monument, which was completed in 1884 and transferred to the NPS in 1933. The most recent is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, dedicated in 2011. National memorials are in 14 states and the District of Columbia. Washington, D.C., has the most, 10, followed by Pennsylvania and New York, each with three. The affiliated areas are in a further three states and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Nine national memorials commemorate U.S. presidents, seven commemorate other historic figures, and four commemorate wars. As with all historic areas within the National Park System, national memorials are automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places; however, some memorials that are affiliated areas are not listed on the Register.
Occasionally, a private organization will erect a memorial and use the word "national" in the name without Congressional authorization. They are not "National Memorials" in the sense that they have the recognition of the American people through its government. One example is the George Washington Masonic National Memorial.

Boys & Girls Clubs and Sexual Abuse: Alexander Scott Plaza
The following is a summary of one of many cases across the country compiled in a Hearst Connecticut Media investigation of sexual abuse connected in some way to local affiliates of Boys & Girls Club of America, their staff, volunteers, members and/or attendees. Boys & Girls Club of America said that it does not keep a public list of sexual abuse incidents connected to clubs. If you have a story to share, or have information related to this or other incidents, contact us here.
A former employee of the Boys & Girls Club of the Western Treasure Valley in Payette, Idaho, has pleaded guilty to sexual abuse and battery charges related to the abuse of four boys.
Alexander Scott Plaza, 25, who also worked as a police officer, is accused of enticing teenage boys to send him nude photos on social media, according to the criminal complaint in the case. This happened between October 2017 and June 2019, according to police.
Plaza was arraigned Sept. 3 in Payette County District court on seven counts of sexual battery of a minor and one count of sexual abuse of a minor, court records show. He pleaded guilty to four of the charges on Jan. 17 while the other three were dismissed. On May 15, he was sentenced to five years in prison, court records show.
Database: Child sexual abuse at Boys & Girls Clubs
Plaza has been ordered to have no contact with the victims, and the no-contact order is in effect until May 2030, according to court records.
Matt Frye, board president of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Western Treasure Valley, said Plaza was "briefly employed at the Payette site" but the club immediately terminated his employment when it learned of the allegations and is cooperating fully with authorities.
"The safety and protection of the children we serve is always our number one priority, and we take any allegation that impacts the well-being of young people very seriously," Frye said in September. "To our knowledge, these allegations do not involve Club members, however, no harm should come to any child and our hearts go out to any victims and their families. We are both shocked and saddened by these allegations and are cooperating fully with the authorities involved in the investigation of this very serious matter."
Frye said his organization is "committed to the highest standards of ethical behavior and integrity and does not tolerate inappropriate or illegal activity on the part of any Club staff, volunteer or youth member."

Ever since I started Stock Gumshoe as a little "nights and weekends" project back in the Spring of 2008, we've made an effort to "give back" in some substantial way — we've given to a dozen or so different charities over the years, and every year we've set a new record for how much we (well, really you) have been able to give.
How do we do this? Well, for several years in a row now we've had a charitable membership drive — we always need new paying members to join the Irregulars (you've probably noticed that Stock Gumshoe hosts advertising so that we can provide a lot of content for free members, too, but paid members cover more than half of our annual budget), so we try to make it a "win win" and build up our membership rolls at the same time that we're doing something for the greater good.
And we only do a membership drive once a year, so we like this to be BIG — we're not talking about donating 3% of the profits to charity, we shoot for 50% of revenues to charity from this membership drive.
So… if you sign up to join us as an Irregular, I will make a donation equal to half of your payment.
What are the Irregulars, and what's a "premium member?" They're the same thing, the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars (the name is borrowed from Sherlock Holmes) are our paid members, they keep the site going and get a few extra benefits as a result — including a weekly commentary I write just for them called the Friday File, the details of my personal Real Money Portfolio and the buys and sells I make, the ability to start your own discussion threads, and a quick little summary of every new teaser article.
I'd like to tell you that it's my prescient analysis of the stocks I buy and sell that drives new readers to our door, but a lot of our members tell me that Quick Take box is the main reason they subscribe — it's a great time saver for those who can't stand to read my long and blathery articles (you get the name of the newsletter, the stock they're teasing, and a couple quick sentences summarizing the story or my opinion).
How do we get the donation pot to be larger? We're going to add a couple days to make it a longer time period, bumping our campaign up to a lucky 13 days, and I'm going to donate an amount equal to not just half of all new member contributions, but half of all upgrades as well.
I hope we'll hit a new record again.
Here are the nuts and bolts:
All of our Irregulars receive the same content and access, the different levels just cover different time periods — you can sign up for $7/month or $59/year on an ongoing basis, and get locked in at that price for as long as you remain a member, or you can commit to Platinum "lifetime" membership for $299 up front (nonrefundable) and never pay anything again.
How to do it:
If you don't have a Stock Gumshoe username, click here for the easy signup page.
Or if you do have a username (you can log in as a free member to comment and such, and it recognizes your name up at the upper right of the page), then click here if you would like to upgrade (that way you can keep the same username and password — if you don't remember your username, just contact us).
And this is important: If you're upgrading to "Platinum" but already have an ongoing monthly or annual membership, please contact us and we'll make sure to cancel that other ongoing membership for you so you don't get charged for renewals in the future.
In case you're already a paid member and your renewal doesn't come up during this time period, I'll also give you one more little jolt to help inspire an upgrade this year:
As you might have noticed, we offer a "Platinum" membership — it's the same as the other memberships, you get the same commentary and information, but it's good for life with no renewals (and no, we don't charge a "maintenance fee" or anything for these memberships). We tend not to lose many Irregulars each year, and the Platinum membership isn't such a good deal for us financially — so it's about to change. In case you were thinking of upgrading to "lifetime" membership, we've got a one-time inducement to see if we can drive our donation amount higher this year.
Is it "on sale" now? No, we don't do sales — but the last spur to action for you is that Platinum membership will be going up in price at the end of this membership drive. Not sure what the new price will be, we'll have to get the number crunching done, but if you want "lifetime" access to Stock Gumshoe for $299 this is your last chance at it. It will be at least 10-20% more expensive in the new year.
(Why is it called "Platinum?" Because the credit card folks don't like us to call it a "lifetime" membership. What you get is a membership in the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars for as long as this site and service exists, no renewals ever. In case you're worried about actuarial considerations, I'm 48 and in good health… and Stock Gumshoe is well into its eleventh year, and I'm not planning on stopping.)
There is a key note here, though: Platinum memberships are NOT refundable. We cheerfully offer refunds on the annual and monthly memberships when requested, since those cover the current time period and it's only fair to give you back your money if you don't want to remain a member — but with the Platinum level, you're investing in Stock Gumshoe's future and we're going to spend the money improving the site and covering our costs… so you can't have it back.
And here's my charitable promise, to be clear:
I will make a charitable contribution equal to half of Stock Gumshoe's new member subscription payments and upgraded memberships over the next 13 days. So for every new or upgraded annual member in the Irregulars ($59), I'll donate $29.50; for every Platinum membership ($299), I'll donate $149.50. Same for any new first-time members who sign up for the monthly version. We're not taking out the credit card processing or bank fees, or any of our other expenses — half of the top line number between now and December 23 goes to charity.
No, you can't claim this as a charitable deduction, they don't "pass through" that way (though if you itemize your investing costs, like advisory fees or a Barron's subscription, people tell me membership in Stock Gumshoe might also be deductible — this isn't as flexible as it used to be, and I don't know what the current rules are, so please check with your tax person).
Which cause? I'll be asking the key folks who keep Stock Gumshoe running to choose causes that are important to them, and that will be a portion of the donation… and I have a couple causes that are near and dear to my heart in our local area, particularly those fighting homelessness and hunger, so those will receive gifts… but I do also want to give you the opportunity to help us choose.
So here's what we're going to do… sign up to join us as a new member, and then go below and post a comment proposing a charitable cause that you think deserves some extra funding. We will look at the proposed charities in the comments below, make sure that they aren't obviously controversial or political or otherwise inappropriate, and support those that get the most "thumbs up" from other members. I'll make the final decision, with your input.
I'm sure that the causes we end up supporting won't all be your top choices, so I hope you'll also support the causes that are important to you — if it's a choice between joining the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars and making a donation to your favorite charity, please do the latter, we love the support of our members and depend on the Irregulars, but no one at Gumshoe HQ is missing any meals.
So that's the story — will you help us to strengthen Stock Gumshoe for the year ahead, letting us put more into improving the site and sharing compelling commentary and ideas with you? If so, you can rest assured with the knowledge that you're also helping someone else… maybe a homeless veteran, a sick family in an impoverished land, a victim of natural disaster, a hungry neighbor, we'll see which causes rise to the top.
I hope you'll join us this year, if you haven't already — and I hope you are experiencing a life full of blessings. I know I am, and working on your behalf for these past 11 years has been near the top of the list — thank you.
And of course, whether or not you choose to cough up some dough and join us or upgrade — I hope you'll keep reading. We do love all of our readers, even those who give us only their (valuable) attention. Thanks for making Stock Gumshoe a part of your investing life.
P.S. Thanks again for considering joining us as a paid Irregular (or upgrading to Platinum membership) during this charitable membership drive — we'll tally up all membership payments between now and December 23 to figure out what the donations will be, and will make the final call on reader-supported donation ideas so I can get those gifts out the door by the end of the year — if you're able, please join today and make your charitable suggestions (or thumbs up to other suggestions). Any questions? Just click here to contact us.

From the isle of Sicily….to mainland Australia.
Calabria Private Bin Nero D'Avola, Riverina 2014
Smells dump you right into the middle of plush town. Roasting black Cherry, blueberry, fresh rubber and polish. Love the camphor smoke note too. Fruit first and juicy: ripe and slurpable sweetness but there's enough spice to make it interesting, to make a point of difference. Lightly char grill some octopus, throw a dressing of olive oil and black pepper and a bottle of this. Make note of this gateway wine…with the these Mediterranean varieties taking hold, more and more shall we see their ilk on the shelves. Calabria have a foothold at the base camp.

Activists disrupt Hindu supremacist conclave in Chicago, evoke violent reaction from extremists
Anti-fascists slogans call for a stop to Hindu fascism during plenary session of World Hindu Congress
September 9, 2018
The Alliance for Justice and Accountability (AJA), an umbrella organization of progressive South Asian groups across the United States in coordination with the local community, today lauded the activists who disrupted the plenary session of the World Hindu Congress, a conclave convened by organizations aligned with the Hindu supremacist ideology that is spearheading the violation of human rights and religious freedom of minorities in India.
The event has been deeply mired in controversy since the Alliance for Justice and Accountability, along with a wide range of Indian diaspora organizations have denounced it as an attempt to mainstream Hindu fascism in the United States. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who had initially agreed to chair the three day Congress severed all connections with the event.
On Friday evening, several young activists from Chicago South Asians for Justice raised signs and called out, "RSS Turn Around, We don't want you in Our Town," and "Stop Hindu Fascism." Some conference attendees erupted in a violent rage, spitting on the protesters, shoving them to the floor, and choking one of them. Two protesters were arrested and charged with trespass and disorderly conduct, while one conference attendee was charged with battery. "We endured extremely violent and demeaning behavior from a bunch of self-righteous Hindutva fanatics who refuse to acknowledge their complicity in promoting and furthering fascism. Their response is indicative of their fascist mindset that brooks no dissent, and we refuse to allow it to be promulgated in our state without a fight," said one of the protesters who courted arrest.
"This is deeply significant," said Nesamani Rajamani of AJA. "These young leaders did what Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi could not, which is to speak truth to power. This courageous act confronting hate on its own ground is the first direct action against caste in the diaspora. The brave hearts made a choice as people of conscience to stand up to Hindu Fascism and Brahminsm, and we believe that as long as the RSS and the Sangh continue to go after Dalit Bahujan peoples, people of conscience will stand up and resist together," added Mr. Rajamani.
Earlier on Friday, a truck bearing billboard size messages "Boycott World Hindu Congress" drove around the Lombard area. Hindutva is the term for a politicized ideology of Hindu ethno-nationalism associated with brutal violence toward India's minority communities, particularly Dalits (those previously designated "untouchable" by the traditional caste system) and Muslims, as well as Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, and secular critics. Some of the most virulent hatemongers of Hindutva are featured speakers at the WHC, such as RSS chief Mohan Rao Bhagwat and UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath, both of whom have a long public record of advancing misogyny, hate crimes and attacks on minorities, as well as assurances of impunity for its perpetrators.
On Saturday, AJA held a protest outside the conference venue, with the stated goal of "standing in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in India who are fighting against the #HIndutva rule and will not be silent in the face of mob lynchings, rapes, murders, and the targeting of our leaders and academics."
AJA's Ashwin Khobragade said, "Antifascists in the South Asian diaspora who care about racial and caste justice, and who disagree with the blanket criminalization of Muslims, have to be no less vigilant in standing against the VHP and RSS than we do against American neo-nazi, white supremacist, and ethno-nationalist groups. The time has come to organize, unite, and to win".
While the WHC promotes its agenda as "a global platform for Hindus" to network, inspire and strategize for "the common good," its true agenda is to advance the jaundiced view of the world espoused by the VHP of America, American branch of the India-based Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP); the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, American branch of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which was founded under the inspiration of Nazism; and the Hindu American Foundation (HAF). These groups are also affiliated with the ruling nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), under whose rule since 2014 there have been over a hundred lynchings of Dalits, adivasis and Muslims, often using the dog whistle of "cow protection."
Calling for a boycott of the event, AJA engaged in outreach to a number of US politicians including Tulsi Gabbard, Ash Kalra, Jay Chaudhuri and Raja Krishnamoorthy, who had initially been slated to participate under the guise of cultural pluralism and interfaith harmony. After learning of the partisan and extremist nature of the event, Gabbard, Kalra and Chaudhuri severed their connections with it. In a separate development, The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago condemned the appearance of fascists speakers at the conference.
Krishnamoorthi did attend, chairing a panel on political leadership, but indicated that he wishes to hold a meeting with Muslim groups in his constituency who have expressed their deep objections to his support for anti-Muslim activities in India. South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) has issued a statement taking Krishnamoorthi to task for sharing a platform with RSS ideologues and rescinding their offer to him to speak at their Congressional Briefing on hate violence and post-9/11 policies.
AJA has launched a twitter campaign #StopHinduFascism, to shed light on the violence and demand accountability from speakers and sponsors of the event. The impact of the twitterstorm awoke many Americans to the rising issues of #HinduFascism in the world.

'RSS Turn Around, We don't want you in Our Town' slogan greets WHC Chicago Conclave (Sep 10, 2018, Ummid.com)
The Alliance for Justice and Accountability (AJA), an umbrella organization of progressive South Asian groups across the United States in coordination with the local community, today lauded the activists who disrupted the plenary session of the World Hindu Congress (WHC), a conclave convened by organizations aligned with the Hindu supremacist ideology that is spearheading the violation of human rights and religious freedom of minorities in India.
The event has been deeply mired in controversy since the Alliance for Justice and Accountability, along with a wide range of Indian diaspora organizations have denounced it as an attempt to mainstream Hindu fascism in the United States. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who had initially agreed to chair the three day Congress severed all connections with the event.
On Friday evening, several young activists from Chicago South Asians for Justice raised signs and called out, "RSS Turn Around, We don't want you in Our Town," and "Stop Hindu Fascism." Some conference attendees erupted in a violent rage, spitting on the protesters, shoving them to the floor, and choking one of them. Two protesters were arrested and charged with trespass and disorderly conduct, while one conference attendee was charged with battery.…

Right-wing terror: Maharashtra ATS arrests two more suspects from Jalgaon (Sep 9, 2018, Hindustan Times)
The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested two more people on Saturday night, from Jalgaon district, while investigating a nation-wide terror plot allegedly involving members of the right-wing organisation, Sanatan Sanstha.
The two arrested have been identified as 32-year-old Ajay Londhi and 29-year-old Vasudev Suryavanshi from Sakli village of Yavul taluka, in Jalgaon district. They were arrested on Saturday night.
ATS sources said two teams raided Suryavanshi and Londhi's homes and garages on Thursday evening. Among the suspicious items were CDs with arms training content, bomb-making literature and maps of different cities with marked locations, like the site of the music festival Sunburn in Pune.…

BJP MLA Ram Kadam promises to kidnap women for men who seek his help, faces backlash (Sep 5, 2018, Indian Express)
Ram Kadam, a BJP MLA in Maharashtra, found himself at the centre of a controversy after a video of him allegedly promising to abduct women, for men who seek his help, went viral. The MLA, from Mumbai's Ghatkopar constituency, made the claim at a dahi handi event on Monday night after which it went viral on Twitter.
The video, shared by NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad on Twitter, shows Kadam allegedly talking to the men in the crowd. The MLA offers his telephone number to the men and says they can call him for help at any time. The MLA then says that if the any of the men has proposed to a girl and is facing problems, he would speak with the man's parents. If they also approve of the marriage, Kadam says he will kidnap the girl for them.
"You can call me… if you call me saying I have proposed a girl and need your help… I will definitely help you… I will call your parents and ask them… If they say they like that girl then… I will kidnap that girl and give it you… now take my number", Kadam says in the video to the thousands gathered for the event.…

Protest in Boston against arbitrary arrest of human rights defenders in India (Sep 3, 2018, Twocircles.net)
Over 50 people assembled at Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to protest against the arbitrary arrests of human rights defenders and activists across India. The event was organized by the Coalition for a Democratic India, on August 31, 2018.
The people gathered from the Boston metropolitan area demanded the immediate release of Sudha Bharadwaj, Arun Fereira, Varavara Rao, Vernon Gonzalves and Gautam Navalakha who were arrested under false allegations of having "Maoist Links", under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) – a draconian law that allows the police to keep the defendant in custody for prolonged periods of time without bail that the Government has been misusing to suppress dissent.
Civil society organizations and citizens, including persons of Indian, South Asian and American origin, expressed growing concerns over draconian measures taken by the BJP Government that not only undermine democracy and Constitutional rights but also hurt the Indian economy and further disenfranchise vulnerable tribals, Dalits, and Muslims.…

A woman student shouted anti-BJP slogans in front of the party's state unit chief, Tamilisai Soundararajan, on board a domestic flight Monday and she was whisked away by police after landing here. Soon after the BJP leader and the student arrived at the airport's arrival lounge here from Chennai, a quarrel ensued, which was caught on a camera.

Sohrabuddin fake encounter case: Nephew of Prajapati deposes, reveals police plot (Sep 4, 2018, Free Press Journal)
Kundan Prajapati, nephew of Sohrabuddin's aide Tulsiram Prajapati, in his deposition mentioned the names of the four police officers who told him they wanted to kill his uncle. Kundan, a key witness, had earlier written a letter stating the reasons for not appearing before the court, in which he had also mentioned he apprehended a threat to his life.
In his deposition on Monday, he told S J Sharma, Special Judge of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court, Tulsiram feared being killed in an encounter. "A month before my mama was killed by police, he had shared his fears of being killed in an encounter. I had accompanied my uncle with my friend from Ahmedabad-Udaipur, to a court hearing."
"When we reached the railway station, the police booked us under a false narcotics case and took us into custody illegally. The police officers, Abdul Rahman, Yugvir Singh, Kartar Singh and Narayan Singh, assaulted us and said they wanted to kill my mama and we had spoilt their plot," added Kundan.…

Non-bailable warrants (NBWs) were issued against six people for not appearing in court in connection with a murder case during the Muzaffarnagar riots in 2013, a lawyer said Wednesday.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ankur Sharma has issued non-bailable warrants against Ravinder, Prehlad, Bishan, Tendu, Devender and Jitender and directed police to produce the accused persons before the court on October 4, lawyer Mohsin Zaidi said.

"Supreme Court Is Ours": UP Minister Says Why Ram Temple "Will Be Built" (Sep 9, 2018, NDTV)
A minister in Yogi Adityanath's government has claimed that the Ram temple the BJP promised in Ayodhya will be built, "since the Supreme Court is ours". Mukut Bihari Verma, the cooperative minister in Uttar Pradesh is the second minister to talk of pushing through the construction of a Ram temple, when a decision on the matter in pending in the Supreme Court.
A special bench of the court is hearing 14 appeals filed against a judgment delivered in 2010 by the Allahabad High Court, which ordered that the land in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid stood, be divided equally among three parties – the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
"The BJP has come to power on the issue of development but Ram Mandir will be constructed as it is our determination. The matter is in Supreme Court and the Supreme court is ours. The judiciary, administration, the nation as well as the Ram Temple belong to us," Mr Verma has told reporters.…

Assam Village Imam declared 'foreigner' suspects Conspiracy to drive out Muslims (Sep 4, 2018, Sabrang India)
Abdul Kadir is the Imam of the mosque in his village. He is a much loved and highly respectable member of his community. People look up to him for his wisdom and good counsel. However, now both, he and his wife Hamida Khatoon have been declared foreigners by a Foreigner's Tribunal. Moreover, all his children have also been declared foreigners.
Abdul Kadir was born and raised in Solmari village located in Morigaon district of Assam.… But trouble began in 2017 when the Superintendent of the Border Police referred names of Kadir and Hamida to the Foreigners' Tribunal in Morigaon stating that they were Bangladeshi. While both produced multiple documents including revenue receipts, land sale deeds, Haj travel documents and even names in electoral rolls, the FT was not satisfied and passed an order declaring them foreigners in November 2017.…
Interestingly the FT Order contains an address in MoimanSing, Bangladesh for the family, but Kadir has never been there! "I rarely even leave my village. I have never left the country! How did they come up with an address in Bangladesh," we wonder. "My name appears in the Voters' Lists of 1985, 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2017, as does my wife's. As and when children attained majority their names were also added," says Kadir.…

Anti-terror squad looks for 'Murali', brains behind killings, terror plots since 2008 – By Manish K Pathak (Sep 5, 2018, Hindustan Times)
The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has turned its focus to finding a man from Marathwada who they believe masterminded attacks and the killings of Dr Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare, MM Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh.
Two ATS officials – one from Pune and one from Mumbai – told HT on condition of anonymity that a man called MD Murali was behind these killings, as well as several alleged terror plots since 2008.
The officials, investigating the role of alleged sympathisers of the right-wing group Sanatan Sanstha in these murders and various terror plots over the past five years, said they identified Murali, after questioning Vaibhav Raut, Sharad Kalaskar, Sudhanva Gondhalekar, Shrikant Pangarkar and Avinash Pawar – the five men the ATS has arrested over the past few weeks in connection with the attacks.…

1 Year, 160 Arrests: In Run up to 2019, NSA Is the Latest Weapon Against Muslims in UP – By Neha Dixit (Sep 10, 2018, The Wire)
On March 4, 2018, a year after the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power on the plank of improving law and order in Uttar Pradesh, chief minister Adityanath claimed that not a single incident of communal violence had taken place in the state since he took over. Ten days later, the Union home ministry tabled statistics in parliament which showed that Uttar Pradesh continues to top the list of states in terms of the number of incidents of communal violence and related deaths – 44 people were killed and 540 injured in UP in 2017.
This compares poorly with 29 deaths and injuries to 490 people in 2016, and 22 deaths and 410 injuries the previous year. The incidents of communal violence in places like Bulandshahr and Saharanpur clearly showed the involvement of the Adityanath-led Hindu Yuva Vahini and local BJP activists. Those involved were reprimanded but strict legal action against the culprits did not follow.
On January 16, 2018, the Adityanath government issued a press statement in which it said the UP police had invoked the National Security Act (NSA) against 160 people in order to control law and order. This was one of their prized achievements, apart from racking up 1200 police encounters in 10 months. … In popular parlance, the NSA is known as a law in which there is 'no vakil, no appeal, no daleel' (no lawyer, no appeal, no argument).' … Locals believe that just as the 2014 elections were preceded by a large number of minor communal clashes which polarised voters, these clashes and selective detentions under the NSA are part of the Sangh parivar's preparation for the 2019 general elections.…

Rat poison – By Sumanta Banerjee (Sep 1, 2018, Countercurrents)
There is a nation-wide scare about a plot to kill our beloved prime minister Narendra Modi-ji by Maoists. Thanks to the ever alert police force of Maharashtra – and aided by our even more alert national investigative agencies – the conspirators have been apprehended before they could carry out their plot. …
The next in our list of the beloved – after our prime minister of course – is our most popular and dear TV anchor Arnab Goswamy. It was he who first waved that letter on the Republic TV screen exposing the links that these social activists and others had with the Maoist plan to kill the prime minister in a "Rajiv Gandhi type plot." He should surely be proud of his exposure that has led to the arrests.
But now, in the midst of Goswamy's drooling ecstasy over the arrests, suddenly a spanner has been thrown in from an unexpected quarter. Prakash Ambedkar, (grandson of the legendary leader of the Dalit movement – sorry, I should use the term Scheduled Caste, as required by the government's recent order – Bhim Rao Ambedkar) who is the president of Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh, has come out with an observation that rubbishes this whole scare about the death threat that our prime minister is supposedly facing.…

No, Mr Kadam – Women cannot be kidnapped at will – Editorial (Sep 8, 2018, Times of India)
Ram Kadam, a BJP spokesperson and MLA from Maharashtra, undermined his party's Beti Bachao slogan when he offered to kidnap girls for the boys in his constituency. But the friendly MLA said he would disregard the girl's will only if the boy's family was on board.
"If the parents of the boy like the girl, I will 100% help the boy in abducting the girl," he promised, even handing out his phone number. Of course, opposition parties pounced on him, with Congress politician Subodh Saoji revealing his own illiberal colours by offering a bounty to chop Kadam's tongue.…
Kadam fails to see the women he promised to potentially kidnap are his constituents too, independent of the parents who want to protect them or the men who want to marry them. This is the crux of the issue. So it's not enough to mock Kadam and his party with 'Beti Uthao, Beti Bhagao' or 'Ravan Kadam' inversions, we must first acknowledge that women are not just betis or treasures or future nurturers of families, they are their own persons. Their security being threatened by their own MLA would then be the clear outrage it is.

Yet Another Communal Game Plan of the BJP: A Private Members Bill to Deport 'Intruders' – By Zamser Ali (Sep 8, 2018, Sabrang India)
There appears to be another sinister game-plan underway. At a time when NRC is being updated in Assam for identification of Indian Citizens in Assam, under the supervision of the Supreme Court, a private member's bill (The Illegal Immigrants (Identification and Deportation Bill, 2018) has been quietly tabled in the Upper House of the Indian Parliament on August 6, 2018.
This Private Member's Bill, discreetly tabled by a lawmaker, Narayan Lal Panchariya from the ruling BJP from Rajasthan, raises suspicion and concern about the ruling dispensation's motives around the Assam NRC issue.…
The aim and intent behind this Bill appears distinctly majoritarian and communal. In its Aims and Objectives, the reasoning it states, "to provide for an institutional mechanism for identification of illegal immigrants in the country and their deportation and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto."…

OK, let 'Dalit' continue to be – Editorial (Sep 6, 2018, Free Press Journal)
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is only the messenger boy. The order to media to stop using 'Dalit' for people categorised as scheduled castes came from a high court. The British had coined 'scheduled castes' in 1935 to sum up a bunch of humankind born on the subcontinent and punished for breathing the same air the 'higher humans' inhaled.
The British summation actually highlighted the divisions percolating down to the lowest caste in the Hindu hierarchy. These are people, ironically, also branded 'caste-less'. In short, the enlightened and liberal English, with the only thing fair about them their fair skin, were hardly of any help; but couldn't have expected much from a nation of shopkeepers, anyway.…
Coming to the here and now, who should have the right to name? The people who are being given a nomenclature themselves, a judge or a government? Clearly, those who are being saddled with a term, they have the first right to reject. And they have rejected every other term and chose 'Dalit'. BR Ambedkar went for 'broken man' and 'depressed classes' for a time but those fell to 'Dalit' in the early 1970s.…

Developed by MidCentral DHB's Clinical Network Programme, working with the Central PHO's Māori Health Team, the document provides greater knowledge around Māori wellbeing. It is hoped that better informing health and social sector staff will result in a stronger appreciation of Māori and the Māori way of being, and have a flow-on effect of helping to address health equity concerns.
Chairman of Manawhenua Hauora, the Iwi consortium that works in partnership with MDHB, Richard Orzecki is glad to have this information released to the health and social sectors.
He said: "This type of information is very important to furthering the health of Māori in the MidCentral district. What 'Kia purea ai koe' will do is provide insights for health and social sector workers in our area, and help give them a better understanding of the Māori way of being."
Central PHO's Director of Māori Health Materoa Mar believes that it shines a more positive light on Māori health.
She said: "Much of what we hear in relation to Māori health is often solely focused on a deficit and issues-based approach, and it is true that these challenges exist. However, it's good to step back and take a look at what strengths and potential the Maori culture can provide to all. Research shows that a strong cultural foundation is a big part of wellbeing, and in this document we bring together information on how culture can be used to inform health."
The information contained within the document isn't necessarily new, but it is having it compiled in one place that makes it a great source for health and social sector workers. It covers diverse topics, including the history of Iwi in the district, culture, demographics, education and, of course, models of health for Māori.
MDHB Project Officer, Clinical Networks Katherine Gibbs was another who helped put the document together, and recognises the importance of having a consolidated source of information.
She said: "Working with our district groups that form the Clinical Network programme, it became apparent that a resource like this one would be invaluable. The information is out there, but bringing all the information together like this makes it easier for the hard-working people who form these groups to have a chance to learn more about Māori culture. We have also created a pre and post quiz so individuals and groups will be able to assess for themselves how much they have learned in reading the document."
A read-only electronic copy of the document will be made available on the MDHB and Central PHO websites. For a hard copy call the Central PHO on (06) 354 9107.

The Kinect, a webcam-style motion sensor add-on for Xbox 360 and possible PC under Windows 8 which enables controller-free gaming and entertainment experience, has been proven to have much better functionality and usage possibility than just a gaming controller.
Just officially been hacked last week for use with other systems besides the XBox 360, Kinect is now can be used as 3D webcam to capture video in 3D. A PhD student developer from University of California (UC) Davis named Oliver Kreylos, has managed to reverse engineer the open source Kinect driver for Linux by Hector Mactin who won a $3000 bounty last Thursday for the hack, and develop his own hack which able to create live 3D image of the surrounding.
The hacker directs the Kinect camera's infrared depth and RGB color feed streams to a custom program that interpolated and reconstructed the result as 3D image live stream or 3D video virtual reality environment that user can manipulate, scroll, spin around, zoom in, zoom out, rotate turn, twist and look behind object at will. In other word, Kinect is now a 3D video camera or webcam.
View the demo video showing 3D video capturing with Kinect:
The 3D video capture is not ideal though, as with only a single camera it is impossible to capture all angles necessary for a full 3D reconstruction. Nonetheless, the 3D reconstruction can also be used to measure objects digitally on computer, as shown in the video below:
The 3D reconstruction code is entirely written from scratch in C++, using the author's own Vrui VR toolkit for 3D rendering management and interaction. The initial version of the Kinect 3D Video Capture Project has been released publicly, and is available for download from project homepage at idav.ucdavis.edu.
This software is based on the Vrui toolkit, version 2.0. However, the most recent public Vrui release is version 1.0-068. This means the software will not build until Vrui-2.0 is released in the near future.

|← Mountie problem
|Inside job? →
Memo to crooks: When you head to work for the night, leave your prescription bottle behind.
A thief learned that valuable lesson after a pill bottle with his name on it led to his arrest on Feb. 4.
The action actually started on Jan. 26, when a woman left her bag unattended at the bar at Ceol on Smith Street between Warren and Baltic streets at around 11:50 pm.
The perp swiped the bag, which had $40 and various cards, and fled — but ran straight into one of the bartenders, who was standing outside.
The two tussled, and the perp dropped his medication before fleeing.
But a week later, Det. Danny Bonilla caught the defendant, 45, on Hoyt Street.

Meshaal: israel's siege on Gaza has 'practically ended'
The head of Hamas' political bureau Khaled Mashaal said the Israeli blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip has "practically ended" after the last battle with Israel, stressing that the Palestinian resistance's weapons are "sacred" and not included in the negotiations.
Speaking during a press conference held in the Qatari capital Doha yesterday, Meshaal said: "The Palestinian resistance as well as its weapons are sacred and protect the Palestinian people. The last battle with Israel reinstalled the Palestinians' trust in armed resistance and put the Palestinian cause again on the Arab and Islamic agenda."
Meshaal added that the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip must be lifted to avoid further escalations, calling on Egypt to open the Rafah crossing.
The Palestinian national reconciliation was strengthened during the Israeli aggression, he explained, in spite of one of Israel's goals being to destroy Palestinian unity.
He called to strengthen internal Palestinian partnerships according to the National Accord document signed by the Palestinian factions in 2006 in Cairo, stressing that Hamas is committed to the agreements it signed in Cairo and Doha.
Meshaal said the Palestinian Authority and the unity government need to speed up the relief programme for Gaza and the reconstruction of the enclave and sheltering the displaced.
According to the senior Hamas official, the Palestinian resistance has achieved an important part of its demands during the ceasefire negotiations in Cairo, pointing out that the Palestinian factions will not give up their demands concerning the construction of the sea port and airport in Gaza.
"Those who support the Palestinian resistance behind the scenes are far more than those who support it publically. I know many Arab nations which followed with great interest the developments during the recent war and were happy to see its achievement as well as others who hoped for other results," he said.
Meshaal thanked Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who, "despite being busy running his presidential campaign, found the time to follow up on Gaza". He also thanked Qatar and the leaders of Tunisia, Sudan, Malaysia and Latin American countries that boycotted Israel in solidarity with Gaza.
According to Meshaal, Israel has lost the image of "the victim and the only democratic country in the region" during its war on Gaza. "In Gaza, Israel committed a holocaust larger than the German holocaust against the Jews."
The Palestinian resistance has had many gains and achieved a balance of power with Israel surprising the Israeli army's leaders and generals, he explained.
"The Palestinian resistance worked around the clock to prepare for the battle and planned carefully for its operations knowing its goals exactly, while the Israeli army seemed confused all the while." He added: "The Palestinian resistance in Gaza destroyed the image that Israel has an invincible army."
On Tuesday, the Palestinian and Israeli sides reached an agreement of a long-term ceasefire under Egyptian auspices, which the Palestinian resistance factions viewed as victory against Israel.
According to a Egyptian Foreign Ministry statement, the ceasefire agreement includes a comprehensive ceasefire from both sides and to open the border crossings between the Gaza Strip and Israel in order to allow the entry of humanitarian aid and relief and reconstruction material to Gaza. It also includes expanding the fishing area to six miles.
The parties are scheduled to continue their indirect negotiations on other topics including prisoners, as well as constructing a port and airport, within one month from the start of the ceasefire.

It's September. I'm 37 and my kitten is now a man. He had his balls surgeried on and now, much like me, wants only to eat (Fancy Feast, although I don't partake in that particularly) and sleep.So I'm off work this week and we've done a lot of lounging around on the couch and putting on Too Faced makeup together (not on him). I ordered that big-ass glittery pink anniversary pallet for muh damn self. Not all that impressed, but maybe it's my complete and utter lack of ability to put it on correctly. I mean, I am okay at drawing a bat wing on my eye in octopus ink black liner, but not much else. Maybe it's my actual face that's the problem.
Lately a plastic surgeon has been liking all my selfies on IG and it makes me wonder if he thinks it's going to motivate me to get a nose or boob-job or something. 🖕🏻 you, plastic surgeon. Maybe I like my huge, crooked nose and lazy right eye. Perhaps I *want* small, crepey tits and a tremendous potato-pear stomach.Have been unsucessful in general in terms of stopping eating, BUT I have not had a soda or Rockstar in a month. I thought that would result in dropping 60 lbs. immediately. I guess not.
God I was doing so well with my hair until May, and now I am mostly bald save for a ring of mullet I pull up in a high ponytail. It's really depressing. An inch of fuzz has grown in and I'm considering keeping it all shaved that short so that I can't even grab it to pull it out. The problem with that is that I do not have cheekbones and very much resemble a slightly femaler Adam Sandler with my hair short.At least October is near. Something to live for. 🎃

Narendra Modi says Congress stopping him from hailing 'Bharat mata'
Modi claimed that some senior Congress leaders stop people from raising such slogans in their meetings and instead ask people to say âSonia Gandhi ki jai'.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday alleged that the Congress party was trying to stop him from raising 'Bharat mata ki jai slogan in election rallies.
Addressing a rally here, Modi said that the Congress party's "naamdar" (an allusion to Congress President Rahul Gandhi) had issued a "fatwa" against him to stop him from saying 'Bharat mata ki jai'. Modi raised the slogans multiple times before he began his speech.
"Who are they (Congress) to stop the youth of this country from hailing Bharat mata? This is a slogan jawans raise while conducting surgical strikes (across LoC)," Modi said.
He claimed that some senior Congress leaders stop people from raising such slogans in their meetings and instead ask people to say 'Sonia Gandhi ki jai'.
Rajasthan is due to vote for a new Assembly on December 7.
Earlier, addressing an election rally at Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi said Modi shouts "Bharat mata ki jai' in every rally but it sounds "hollow" coming from him.
He said Modi did not talk about issues of farmers, women and youth -- who comprise 'Bharat mata' - and only raised slogans.

With the recent announcement of Hilary Clinton as the leading Democratic nominee for the next presidential election, we are already "off to the races" for 2016. Even though just a few years ago the Common Core was enacted in most states with little political fanfare, early analysis suggests that the standards are positioned to be a high profile issue in the 2016 presidential election. According to a recent article from the Brooking Institute, "Over the past year, the Common Core State Standards have risen from a topic of interest mainly to educators and school reformers to a top-tier issue in national politics." How might the growing salience of the standards impact public opinion and election politics? More importantly, are we doomed to repeat past failures? Two decades ago, political conflict gutted the last major attempt to create a national curriculum, now known as the infamous "curriculum wars" of the 1990s. Is the Common Core doomed to a similar fate – to be "just another reform" with little substance and no follow through?
The Common Core in Presidential Politics
Although the Common Core was once a bipartisan effort to improve mathematics and literacy education, it is now a political football, particularly for members of the Republic Party. When it comes to nominating a president for the 2016 elections, Republicans already look disorganized in comparison to Democrats, who seem firmly resolute in their backing of Hillary Clinton. Looking to distinguish themselves from the rest of the field and, most importantly, to prove they are politically viable against the rising Clinton tide, the potential GOP presidential candidates are jockeying for position. According to analysis from Politico, the standards will figure prominent in how this Republican primary plays out. Taking a strong stance on the Common Core has been one important way to do that – serving as a kind of "litmus test" for whether or not someone is "conservative enough."
Taking a position on the standards has been particularly problematic for presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, who many believe, like his brother George W. Bush in the past, will run for the Republican nomination. According to another Politico article, the Common Core is Jeb Bush's "No. 1 problem." Jeb Bush has been a long-time support of the Common Core and has indicated he has a "backbone" concerning the standards. At a recent event, Jeb Bush said, "you don't abandon your core beliefs" when your positions become unpopular.
In a weekly bipartisan survey of key political operatives and activists in Iowa and New Hampshire, respondents indicated that Bush's stance will hurt, but not kill, his presidential prospects. When participants were asked to rank on a scale of zero to ten how politically problematic the Common Core was for Bush – with zero being totally inconsequential and 10 being disqualifying – the average response was 6.
Looking Forward
Like so many education reforms, it seems that the fate of the Common Core is being hijacked by national politics. In a politically polarized atmosphere, where the ideological middle is disappearing and moderate voices are drowned out by extremes at the left and right – a pattern that has accelerated substantially over the past twenty years – controversy over the standards is likely to worsen. This is not to say that the Common Core should not come under scrutiny, but the major criticisms against the standards appear to be ideological, not educational, as recent research on the discourse surrounding the standards shows. Indeed, many state governments have already experienced "buyer's remorse" in the growing controversy over the standards, causing a number of states legislatures to pass laws that significantly modified the standards or backtracked on them altogether. It looks like this may be beginning.
