Sindhi Activist Who Stood For Hindu Kidnapping Victims Goes Missing In Sindh
Pakistan Activist Who Stood For Hindu Kidnapping Victims Goes Missing In Sindh
Human rights activist Fayaz Shaikh is a chairman of the Sindh Human Rights Organization in Sindh Pakistan. He has been organizing demonstrations on behalf of kidnapped Hindu girls in Pakistan. We are now hearing reports that he has been abducted by unknown persons. His disappearance comes on the eve of yet another demonstration he was supposed to organize under the auspices of the Sindh Human Rights Organization on behalf of the nine Hindu girls kidnapped by Muslims in Pakistan this month (read here). It is likely that Mr. Fayaz has been abducted by Islamist within Pakistan. This situation comes with some irony since he was a leading voice in the #bringbackourboys campaign (see here), an initiative to try to get United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, to take notice of the forced disappearances of young Sindh activists who opposed the [! — censored –! ] Fayaz has done much for the Hindus of Pakistan and now it is time we return the favor. We must do all in our power to place sanctions on the [! — censored –!] until they repeal [! — censored –!] and put an end to kidnappings and abductions of minorities and human rights activists. If you have have any information on the whereabouts of Fayaz, please contact us. email@example.com

Pakistan has fastest growing nuclear weapons programme in the world: report
By Hassaan Khan
Pakistan has the fastest growing nuclear weapons programme in the world and could have enough fissile material to produce more than 200 nuclear devices by 2020, an influential American think tank said in a report.
The special report by the the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) report, titled "Strategic Stability in the Second Nuclear Age", also identified South Asia as the region "most at risk of a breakdown in strategic stability due to an explosive mixture of unresolved territorial disputes, cross-border terrorism, and growing nuclear arsenals."
Pakistan, the report said, has deployed or is developing 11 delivery systems for its nuclear warheads, including aircraft, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.

Falling oil price costs Russia $100bn
Oil price slide and sanctions 'cost Russia $140bn'
The falling oil price is costing Russia up to $100bn a year, while Western sanctions have hit the country by $40bn, its finance minister has said.
Anton Siluanov made the comments on Monday at an international financial and economic forum in Moscow.
Reports on Monday suggested Russia could cut its oil production by about 300,000 barrels a day in an attempt to support the oil price.
Opec members meet in Vienna this week where falling prices will be discussed.
Vladimir Putin has said that Russia could suffer "catastrophic consequences" from sanctions, the falling oil price and the sliding rouble, while claiming they would have knock-on effects for other countries.
"The modern world is interdependent. It's far from guaranteed that sanctions, the steep fall in oil prices and the loss of value of the national currency will lead to negative results or catastrophic consequences only for us," the Russian president told TASS, the official news agency, on Sunday.
The European Union and the United States imposed sanctions on Russia following its annexation of the Crimea region in Ukraine and its alleged involvement in eastern Ukraine.

Study of melting glaciers worries meteorologists
By Jamal Shahid
ISLAMABAD: Meteorologists worried at the depletion of glaciers in Pakistan studied six glaciers in the Karakorum Range recently, and the results have made them worry even more.
"All of them were found melting at a faster rate. The changing climate is taking a heavy toll on our glaciers," Chief Meteorologist of Pakistan Met Department (PMD) Dr Ghulam Rasul told Dawn.
And the disaster awaiting the nation can be imagined as depletion of glaciers in northern Pakistan during the last decade had been consistent with the rising temperature.
Experts say the study showed that the Hinarchi glacier, which had retreated 800 metres in the 32 years between 1977 and 2009, retreated another 300 metres during the next five years.

Similarly, the Baulter glacier which had retreated 1,500 metres, shrank another 400 metres by 2014. The future of the Barpu glacier looks gloomy as it has shrunk 640 metres since 1977.
Dr Rasul explained that due to rising temperature the glaciers had been losing their ice mass at a faster rate than ever before.
"The last 15 years witnessed a big escalation in the thermal regime of glaciated and snow covered region of Pakistan. We recorded more than one degree Centigrade increase in temperature which triggered the formation of glacial lakes and the phenomenon of GLOF – glacial lakes outburst floods – occasionally high river flows, land slips and slides," he said.

Imran [Khan], [Tahir ul] Qadri, and the ISI are our best friends.
Not Fit to Print: An Insider Account of Pakistani Censorship
Imran [Khan], [Tahir ul] Qadri, and the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] are our best friends," our weekly editorial meeting at Pakistan's Express Tribune was (jokingly) told on Aug. 13, 2014, a day before the two political leaders began their separate long marches from Lahore to Islamabad, and plunged the country into crisis. "We know it's not easy, but that's the way it is — at least for now. I promise to make things better soon," said the editor, who had called the meeting to inform us about the media group's editorial policy during the sit-ins and protests that would eventually, momentarily paralyze the Pakistani government.
The senior editorial staff, myself included, reluctantly agreed to the orders, which came from the CEO, because our jobs were on the line. Media groups in Pakistan are family-owned and make all decisions unilaterally — regardless of whether they concern marketing and finance or editorial content and policy — advancing their personal agendas through the influential mainstream outlets at their disposal. A majority of the CEOs and media house owners are businessmen, with no background (or interest) in the ethics of journalism. The owners and publishers make it very clear to their newsrooms and staff — including the editor — that any tilt or gloss they proscribe is non-negotiable. As a result, serious concerns persist about violence against and the intimidation of members of the media. In fact, Pakistan ranks 158 out of 180 countries in the 2014 World Press Freedom Index.
Yet there is also a more elusive problem within the country's press landscape: the collusion of Pakistan's powerful military and the nation's media outlets. I experienced this first-hand while I worked as a journalist at the Express Tribune during the recent protests led by Khan, the populist cricketer-turned-politician, and Qadri, a Pakistani-Canadian cleric and soapbox orator.
During this time, the owners of Pakistani media powerhouses — namely ARY News, the Express Media Group, and Dunya News — received instructions from the military establishment to support the "dissenting" leaders and their sit-ins. The military was using the media to add muscle and might to the anti-government movement in an attempt to cut Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif down to size.
The media obliged.
At the Express Media Group, anything related to Khan and Qadri were inexorably the lead stories on the front page or the hourly news bulletin. I witnessed polls showing support for Sharif being censored, while news stories on the misconduct of the protesters, along with any evidence that support among the protestors for Khan and Qadri was dwindling, were axed. While the BBC was publishing stories about how Qadri's protesters were allegedly being paid and Dawn, the leading English-language Pakistani newspaper — and the Express Tribune's main competitor — was writing powerful editorials about the military's role in the political crisis, we were making sure nothing negative about them went to print.
Day after day, my national editor told me about how he received frantic telephone calls late in the evening about what the lead story should be for the next day and what angle the article should take. First, we were told to focus on Khan. "Take this as Imran's top quote," "This should be in the headline," "Take a bigger picture of him" were the specific directives given by the CEO. Shortly after, the news group's owner was agitated that the newspaper had not been focusing enough on Qadri. We later found out that the military establishment was supporting the two leaders equally and the media was expected to do the same.
In their professional capacities, the editor and desk editors tried to put up a fight: they allowed some columns against the protests slip through; they did not extend the restrictions to publish against Khan and Qadri to the Web version of the newspaper; and they encouraged reporters to focus on the paper's strengths, such as investigative and research-based reports. However, it was difficult for the staff to keep its spirits high with the CEO's interference and his readiness to abide by the establishment's instructions. To be sure, the dictates were never given to the senior editorial staff, of which I was a part, directly. They were instead relayed to the editor or the national editor (who heads the main National Desk) via the CEO and then forwarded to us.
People often speculate about the media-military collusion in Pakistan, but in the instance of the current political standoff in the federal capital, as well as the Geo News controversy — where the establishment was seen resorting to extreme methods, such as forcing cable operators to suspend Geo's transmission and impelling competing media houses to publish news stories against Geo, to curtail the broadcast of the largest and most-watched television channel for accusing then-ISI chief Zaheer-ul-Islam of being behind the gun attack on Hamid Mir, its most-popular anchor — the media and the military worked hand-in-hand.
In most cases, it is common knowledge that the heavyweight broadcast anchors have strong ties to members of the military establishment, and they personally take direct instructions that are then conveyed to the owners of their respective media groups. This bias is often reflected in their coverage.
The anchors not only indulge in inaccurate reporting, but also shape political discourse against the democratically elected government and even the efficacy of democracy itself. Former Pakistani government officials have corroborated this by narrating their experience. One senior official told me: "Television anchors receive funds from the military establishment, if not the civilian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Today, all the Pakistani intelligence agencies and the military have media departments that ostensibly only disseminate background information and press briefings, but are actually guiding and managing discourses and the national narrative."
And this narrative is pro-army. Consider one example in particular.
On Aug. 31, when Khan's and Qadri's protesters had stormed the Parliament's gates, Mubasher Lucman, a television anchor for ARY News — now the most-watched TV channel in Pakistan after Geo's transmission was illegally suspended — saluted the army during a live broadcast and invited the military to take over "and save the protesters and the country." Earlier on Aug. 25, he welcomed the "sound of boots"(a reference to the military), as he had no sympathy for corrupt politicians who looted the country.
As if this was not enough, Lucman and his fellow anchors at ARY, some of whom are known to have strong ties to the army and the ISI, alsomade unverified claims on live television that seven protesters had been killed by riot police in the ensuing clash. (It was reported by other news outlets that three people had died, one by accident.) Moreover, when Javed Hashmi, the estranged president of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party, came out in public on Sep. 1 to reveal how Khan was banking on the military and the judiciary to end Sharif's government, Lucman slammed Hashmi, while his fellow anchor, Fawad Chaudhry, insisted that Hashmi had been "planted in [the] PTI"by the prime minister's closest aides.
Hashmi, who is known for his principled politics and who has been tortured and imprisoned by the military over the years, made the claims about Khan in a press conference where he revealed that: "Imran Khan said we cannot move forward without the army…He told us that he has settled all the matters; there will be elections in September."
Soon after this, we at the Express Tribune were instructed by the military to highlight statements released by the army's Inter-Services Public Relations office about how it was not a party to the crisis. When the military was on the defensive, issuing rebuttals to Hashmi's "revelations," we saw the instructions lessen and the powerful institution backing off. Yet media discourse throughout Pakistan's history has been influenced by the military, the most powerful institution in the country, or, in a few cases, has been strong-armed and intimidated by civilian heads of state until they were ousted by the military. There is a structural bias against democratic institutions and elected officials in Pakistan, and such a discourse has the not-unintentional effect of making the military seem like a better alternative, thereby reinforcing the notion that democracy does not work.
Delhi girl defied her parents to marry boyfirend; killed 4 days later
Girl defied her parents to marry boyfriend from a different caste; killed 4 days later
Written by Ananya Bhardwaj
New Delhi – A 21-year-old woman, who had married outside her caste, was allegedly killed in Dwarka by her parents and then secretly cremated in her village in Alwar. The incident was reported on Sunday morning.
Police have arrested the woman's father, Jagmohan Yadav and mother, Savitri, based on the complaint filed by the widower. Police said the parents confessed to having killed and cremated their daughter.
The police, however, are working to ascertain that the same woman was indeed cremated, a doubt shared by her mother-in-law.
Bhawna married Abhishek Seth, who works as an assistant programmer at the Cabinet Secretariat in Rashtrapati Bhavan, on November 12. The couple studied together in Delhi's Venkateshwara College and wished to marry but the woman's family objected as Abhishek belongs to a different caste.
The two married anyway, in an Arya Samaj temple in Mandir Marg. They also got their marriage registered in court.
Bharati Seth, Abhsihek's mother, told Newsline, "When Abhishek came home with Bhawna and told me that they are now legally married, I told him that we should call Bhawna's parents and inform them. It was then that both families met."
She said Bhawna's parents were very angry. "I tried to reason with them that the couple had got their marriage registered in court. Since both were adults, they had a right to do so."
Bhawna's parents reportedly told Abhishek and his mother that they would take her home as no proper ceremonies were performed to bless the marriage. They told Abhishek that he should come to their Dwarka house on November 16 to take Bhawna back, Bharati said.

Over 70% teachers in Pakistan believe corporal punishment is useful
Over 70 per cent of teachers in Pakistan agree with the statement that corporal punishment is useful, shows a study launched by the education campaign Alif Ailaan.
This was just among the several findings of the study on teachers in Pakistan, especially government school teachers, about whom very little is known, especially when it comes to the challenges they face and the support they need to do their jobs well.
The Voice of Teachers, the study on Pakistani teachers, highlights the struggles of men and women who are charged with the task of educating this country's children, often under the most difficult circumstances.
Conducted by the Society for the Advancement of Education (SAHE), in partnership with Alif Ailaan, the study is based on an extensive survey of more than 1,250 teachers and head teachers in government and private schools across the country.
The survey interviewed 1,264 teachers (823 teachers and 441 head teachers) from 634 government and private schools in 15 districts, covering urban and rural areas in all four provinces. Its findings challenge many of the myths surrounding Pakistan's teaching workforce.
The study also delves into issues that have received public attention in recent years: political interference, the role of teachers' associations, recruitment, transfers and postings. Here too, what teachers have to say is surprising. Most government teachers state that they were hired on merit, with just 20 per cent reporting that their recruitment did not follow official procedures and just one per cent using political influence.
Among the issues that hamper a teachers' ability to perform effectively are overcrowded classrooms, multi-grade teaching, poor quality textbooks, and the lack of facilities and equipment. For government school teachers, non-teaching duties are a major concern. Teachers in the survey claim that they spend an average of 53 days a year on non-teaching duties.

#No more ghosts: Facebook campaign sparks revolution in education sector
SINDH – KARACHI: What the Sindh government could not do with all its resources and powers, a few concerned individuals have managed to accomplish with a little spark of ingenuity and the help of modern technology.
The campaign against 'ghost teachers' that has gone viral on Facebook since it started last month has sparked a kind of revolution in the provincial education sector. The campaign has by now exposed hundreds of prominent figures, including journalists, political and social activists and nationalists who were drawing salaries from public schools but never bothered to attend even once.
The campaign
The major focus of the campaign was on those affiliated with the media. TV channel and newspaper owners were urged to take action against such journalists who were ruining the futures of hundreds of children.
A month on, the campaign has attracted the attention of almost 30 groups of individuals who collect data, including pictures of 'ghost teachers' from different areas and share the information on the page under the inscription, 'He is also a ghost teacher'. The data is then viewed and shared by those subscribed to the page. The remarkable success of the campaign can be gauged from the fact that people from all over Sindh have started posting information on 'ghost teachers' on the page.
With the exception of a few, most of the 'ghost teachers' are male. They are individuals who are quite prominent in their professions. Interestingly, the moderators of the page claim that the number of female ghost teachers is far higher than their male counterparts.
The profiles are shared from one person to another, and within hours, the accused inevitably finds out that they have been identified. Below the profiles follow a string of comments from users, urging the person to do justice to the profession. The comments are shaming, with the users having carefully picked their words to touch a nerve. 'Go ghost go', 'Don't destroy the future of our children' and 'You are not from among us' are some of the popular messages to the ghost teachers.
The campaigners
"The first rally for education started in 2012 from Mithi," recalled one of the senior campaigners, Liaquat Mirani. He is a teacher at a private school and has been threatened several times to stop the campaign. "The campaign has somewhat achieved what millions of rupees spent by the government and donor agencies could not do," he said, adding that several teachers have started joining their duties after the drive was launched on the social media. "It is a social media revolution."
Mirani is one of the campaigners who directly shares posts regarding ghost teachers on his personal Facebook profile. He has also asked others to come forward and help him point out those who cheat the nation.
Suhail Memon, who is himself a journalist, is among those who expose ghost teachers on social media. Speaking to The Express Tribune, Memon said that around 40,000 people have been declared 'ghost teachers' by the provincial government. "We are also collecting data of how many ghost teachers have been identified on our pages," he explained.
What they hope to achieve
"Believe me, no one will dare to be absent from schools in the future," he said. "There will be no compromise on education." Memon added that the bhatta in the form of salaries taken from the government will not be tolerated. Social media had become the most powerful tool of information in the world. "Its impact is being felt in Sindh now."
One of the individual campaigners, Shahnawaz Mandhro, remarked that the response was tremendous. "Common people whose complaints were not being entertained by the education department now contact us and share information on ghost teachers," he said. "The school from where I got my primary education is now closed. It pains me that there is no mechanism to make schools functional again," he commented.
Interestingly, the provincial education department has requested campaigners to share data with the department, with the promise that guilty teachers would be removed from their jobs after proper scrutiny.

Huge corruption in Pakistan Armed Forces: Financial irregularities of Rs 50 billion detected in Pakistan Air Force
Financial irregularities of Rs 50 billion detected in PAF
*Audit report for financial year 2013-14 cites embezzlements, violation of rules, unauthorised occupation of public land and related malpractices in PAF
ISLAMABAD: The Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) has detected serious financial irregularities exceeding Rs 30 billion, including embezzlements, violation of rules, unauthorised occupation of public land and related malpractices, in the annual accounts of Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
In its audit report for the financial year 2013-14 on the PAF accounts, the AGP has found that unauthorised expenditure exceeding Rs 25 billion has been incurred by the PAF authorities in terms of awarding an illegal consultancy contract to a private firm to execute a highly classified project. Moreover, the AGP has highlighted six instances related to unauthorised or illegal occupation of public land by the PAF that caused the national exchequer a loss of Rs 355 million in the last financial year.
According to the audit report, the PAF awarded contract number 08/2008 in an 'unauthorised, illegal and incompetent' manner, valued at Rs 429.234 million, to Kashif Aslam & Associates Private Limited for the development of PAF Base Shahbaz in Jacobabad, instead of awarding this contract to Military Engineering Services (MES), that is the competent authority to carry out such sensitive contracts in the defence sector. The project's initial cost was Rs 7 billion but escalated to a total cost of Rs 25 billion under highly questionable circumstances amid alleged financial foul play committed by the PAF officials in collusion with the consultant.

Militants not dangerous to Pakistan should not be targeted: Sartaj
By Dawn.com
ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz on Monday said that Pakistan should not target militants who do not threaten the country's security.
"Why should America's enemies unnecessarily become our enemies," Sartaj Aziz said during an interview with BBC Urdu.
"When the United States attacked Afghanistan, all those that were trained and armed were pushed towards us.
"Some of them were dangerous for us and some are not. Why must we make enemies out of them all?," he said when speaking about the Haqqani Network.
He further said that the Afghan Taliban are Afghanistan's problem and Haqqani Network is a part of it.
"It's the job of the Afghan government to negotiate with them…We can try to convince them, however things are not the same as they were in the nineties," Aziz said.

Co-conspirator of 9/11 attacks says Saudi prince financed operation
A former self-described Al-Qaeda collaborator serving a life sentence in prison now says he wants to testify in court about what he claims to know about a Saudi Arabian prince's alleged role in financing the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Zacarias Moussaoui, a French citizen convicted in 2006 for charges related to his admitted role in the 9/11 attacks, wrote in a letter received this month by a federal court in Oklahoma that he wants to take the stand and explain supposed links between the terrorist plot and Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud.
According to a letter sent by the man known as the "20th hijacker" to the Oklahoma Western District Court dated October 23, 2014, the 46-year-old maximum security inmate says the prince assisted with his "Islamic terrorist activities in Norman" – a reference to the Midwestern town where Moussaoui received flight lessons in 2001, as did 9/11 hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi.
The prince financed Moussaoui's own flight classes, he asserts, "and was doing so knowingly for Osama bin Laden."

Village Girl From Sindh Launches Tech Startup in San Francisco
Pakistani Village Girl Launches VC-Funded Tech Startup in America
Vida, a San Francisco technology startup co-founded by Umaimah Mendhro from Akri village in Sindh, Pakistan, has received $1.3 million funding from Google Ventures, Universal Music Group and others, according to Tech Crunch.
The startup bills itself as "socially responsible" with the objective of using technology to provide a way for designers, artists and other creatives anywhere in the world to make a viable living through their work.
Vida CEO Umaima Mendhro joins a growing list ofsuccessful Pakistani-American women that includes Shama Zehra in finance, Shaan Kandawalla in technology, Shazia Sikandar in the Arts and Fatima Ali in fine cuisine.
"I am from a very small town in Pakistan and was home-schooled much of my life because we didn't have proper schools around. I taught myself how to cut, sketch, sew, stitch, block print, screen print, oil paint, and more," she told Tech Crunch. "Yet I couldn't get myself to pursue art as a profession because I feared I wouldn't be able to make a living with it," Mendhro said. "With a love for fashion and design, I was also acutely aware of the hundreds of millions of people employed in textile and garment production, who could never get out of a cycle of poverty."

Why Marxism is on the rise again
Capitalism is in crisis across the globe – but what on earth is the alternative? Well, what about the musings of a certain 19th-century German philosopher? Yes, Karl Marx is going mainstream – and goodness knows where it will end
By Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian
Class conflict once seemed so straightforward. Marx and Engels wrote in the second best-selling book of all time, The Communist Manifesto: "What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable." (The best-selling book of all time, incidentally, is the Bible – it only feels like it's 50 Shades of Grey.)
Today, 164 years after Marx and Engels wrote about grave-diggers, the truth is almost the exact opposite. The proletariat, far from burying capitalism, are keeping it on life support. Overworked, underpaid workers ostensibly liberated by the largest socialist revolution in history (China's) are driven to the brink of suicide to keep those in the west playing with their iPads. Chinese money bankrolls an otherwise bankrupt America.
The irony is scarcely wasted on leading Marxist thinkers. "The domination of capitalism globally depends today on the existence of a Chinese Communist party that gives de-localised capitalist enterprises cheap labour to lower prices and deprive workers of the rights of self-organisation," says Jacques Rancière, the French marxist thinker and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII. "Happily, it is possible to hope for a world less absurd and more just than today's."
That hope, perhaps, explains another improbable truth of our economically catastrophic times – the revival in interest in Marx and Marxist thought. Sales of Das Kapital, Marx's masterpiece of political economy, have soared ever since 2008, as have those of The Communist Manifesto and the Grundrisse (or, to give it its English title, Outlines of the Critique of Political Economy). Their sales rose as British workers bailed out the banks to keep the degraded system going and the snouts of the rich firmly in their troughs while the rest of us struggle in debt, job insecurity or worse. There's even a Chinese theatre director called He Nian who capitalised on Das Kapital's renaissance to create anall-singing, all-dancing musical.

Why Germans Work Fewer Hours But Produce More: A Study In Culture
When many Americans think of Germany, images of WWII soldiers and Hitler often come to mind. But what many people don't realize is that Germany is the industrial powerhouse of Europe, and is a leading manufacturer of goods for export to developing Asian nations. We don't hear about the superiority of German engineering in Volkswagen commercials for nothing!
This article states the truth. I can't imagine ever living in the US again. Life is too good here in Germany. The Germans work hard and play hard. They know how to live. Conditions are even better in the Scandinavian countries. I have a permanent contract. I'd have to do something very serious or illegal to get fired. First they would have to give me two written warnings. Our health insurance policies cover 100% of our health care; we do, though, have to pay a little bit for prescription drugs.
The economic engine of the EU, Germany single-handedly saved the Eurozone from collapse in 2012. At the same time, German workers enjoy unparalleled worker protections and shorter working hours than most of their global counterparts. How can a country that works an average of 35 hours per week (with an average 24 paid vacation days to boot) maintain such a high level of productivity?

UAE blacklists 5 Pakistani groups among 83 as 'militant organisations
By AFP
ABU DHABI: The United Arab Emirates on Saturday issued a list of 83 militant groups which it classified as "militant organisations," including five from Pakistan.
The list, approved by the Gulf state's cabinet and published on the official WAM news agency, is similar to an announcement made by Saudi Arabia in March.
It blacklists several arms of al Qaeda, Islamic State (IS), as well as the Muslim Brotherhood and Yemen's Huthi militia. From Pakistan, it has blacklisted the Pakistani Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba Pakistan, the East Turkestan movement in Pakistan, Muhammad's Army in Pakistan and Muhammad's Army in Pakistan and India.
ABU DHABI: The United Arab Emirates on Saturday issued a list of 83 militant groups which it classified as "militant organisations," including five from Pakistan. The list, approved by the Gulf state's cabinet and published on the official WAM news agency, is similar to an announcement made by Saudi Arabia in March. It blacklists several arms of al Qaeda, Islamic State (IS), as well as the Muslim Brotherhood and Yemen's Huthi militia.

Man injects himself with Ebola DELIBERATELY in a bid to battle the deadly disease
By Alex Wellman
Peter Hubbard is part of a clinical trial attempting to find a vaccine against the virus that has so far claimed thousands of lives in west Africa
A man has revealed he has been injected with the Ebola virus ON PURPOSE in a bid to fight the deadly disease.
Peter Hubbard said he hopes the small risk he is taking could help create a vaccine to prevent further outbreaks of the disease, which has claimed thousands of lives in west Africa.
Speaking from his apartment in Alexandria, Virginia, Mr Hubbard, a consultant who specialises in natural gas and peer markets, said: "I get a lot of satisfaction out of the fact that this could potentially develop into a viable vaccine that prevents another outbreak. It might not help out with the current outbreak but it could prevent a future one, so that's a real plus in my book."
Mr Hubbard, 35, is one of 20 people taking part in clinical trials for a vaccine at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States.
The vaccine he is trialling, co developed by GlaxoSmithKline and the NIH, consists of a common cold virus, called an adenovirus, that has been engineered to carry TWO genes of the Ebola virus.
Animal testing has shown that when the adenovirus infects cells, the Ebola genes produce harmless proteins that stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies to the deadly disease.
Despite being injected with parts of the virus on September 9, Mr Hubbard revealed that he felt so healthy he has even taken part in a MARATHON.
He said: "I feel great, yeah. In fact, I couldn't tell where the injection site was thirty minutes after it. I ran a marathon on Sunday. I'm alive and kicking."
Hubbard also revealed it was the fifth vaccine study he has participated in, having previously been a test subject for vaccines for malaria, HIV, chickungunya and H1N1.
He said: "I do have a joke that, that with all of these vaccine trials that I've done, that if plague and pestilence were to sweep throughout the land, I'd be the last man standing.
"But honestly, I'm not worried about an Ebola outbreak because I've taken the time to inform myself and I realise that there's very low risk for that."
Around 5,000 people have been killed by Ebola, mostly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea – the three African nations hardest hit by the virus, which spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.
The GSK vaccine study is being fast-tracked and, if the results are successful, the company plans to build a stockpile of up to 10,000 doses for emergency deployment.

UN probe: ISIS committing 'crimes against humanity' in Syria
GENEVA: ISIS is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity on a large scale in areas under its control in war-ravaged Syria, U.N. investigators said Friday.
In its first report focused squarely on acts by ISIS, the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria presented a horrifying picture of what life is like in areas controlled by the extremist jihadists, including massacres, beheadings, torture, sexual enslavement and forced pregnancy.
"The commanders of ISIS have acted wilfully, perpetrating these war crimes and crimes against humanity with clear intent of attacking persons with awareness of their civilian or 'hors de combat' (non-combat) status," the report said.
"They are individually criminally responsible for these crimes," it stated, and called on the perpetrators to be brought to justice, for instance before the International Criminal Court.
Based on more than 300 interviews with people who have fled areas under the control of the jihadists, as well as photographs and video footage released by ISIS itself, the report paints a blood-chilling picture of life under its rule.

Our friend Mike Furman at Criswell Corvette gave us some info on a great fundraiser to help fight cancer, but he also wanted to tell us why this time it's personal. Read on to find out how you can help the fight against cancer through The Patty Pollatos Fund and maybe win a new 2014 Corvette Stingray in the process.

The storied Manchester United football club is in the States this week to take on the LA Galaxy in the Chevrolet Cup on Wednesday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Chevrolet is a major sponsor of the club, which is now proclaimed with the Chevy bow-tie appearing on the club's uniforms.
During some sight-seeing time on Tuesday, several Manchester United team members were given Chevys to drive around Beverly Hills and we see they made a stop at the Beverly Hills Fire Department.
The new 650-horsepower, 6.2-liter V8 monster engine that will power the upcoming 2015 Corvette Z06 will be assembled in two locations.
But only the engines that are put together at the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Ky., will be eligible for the build-your-own program, according to a report on Edmunds.com.

The Corvette Stingray has been a great story for Chevrolet, winning an unprecedented number of awards including being named the 2014 North American Car of the Year. But the Stingray is also beating its rivals where it counts – the dealership sales floors.
That noise you heard after the All-Star Game Tuesday night was the sound of young Corvette enthusiasts practicing on their hitting skills.
Who could blame them after the Most Valuable Player of this year's game, the Angels' Mike Trout, won a new Stingray for his outstanding performance?
Trout – who doubled, tripled, drove in two runs, and scored a run to lead the American League to a 5-3 win – actually had his choice of either a Stingray or a Silverado full-size pickup during the MVP award ceremony, but naturally the 22-year-old standout picked the latest rendition of Chevy's popular sports car.
This you tube publisher named Lia goes by the name SSSniperWolf and has a pretty serious video channel with over 600.000 subscribers. While most of her videos are about gaming and cosplay, she posted this video showing off her new 2014 Corvette Stingray. The day she brings it home, she goes to work in her garage applying Plasti Dip to the front crossed flags emblems, the chrome grill trim and the wheels which gives it a nice blacked out look.
Seems to me when the new vs old comparisons are made, the old classic always comes out on top.

"Very happy with how my sons birth announcement came out! The template made it so easy. I just added the info and picture."
"This arrived on beautiful thick card stock. The design was very crisp and clean. The largest photo was slightly grainy (it was submitted as hi-res) but still happy with the overall product. I've received lots of compliments on the format and paper quality. The designer review option was great. Very responsive and I ended up with the precise design I had in mind."

Some still prefer outboard gear, ranging from the more common to the esoteric.

Although I have had friendships over the years with many senior members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House, it was still a staff-to-Member relationship, which has its limitations and which I did not fully appreciate until this week. Even though I was on the staff of the House Republican Conference for eight years, when it was time for the Conference to meet, those of us on the staff were on the outside looking in when the doors closed.
(Claire van der Geest is a Strategic Policy Advisor for ISSF and Bubba Cook is the Western and Central Pacific Ocean Tuna Program Manager at WWF- World Wildlife Fund)
Tuna is the lifeblood of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean region. When a tuna stock dips, urgent action to reverse the trend is necessary for both the ocean ecosystem and the region's peoples and economy.
Commercial fishing is a vital industry in the western Pacific Ocean and a cornerstone of the economies of Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific territories. But over the years, area fishermen have been repeatedly constrained by federal efforts that have created vast new marine preserves that prohibit fishing.
We've voted, and we now live with our choices for the next two years.
We have a new Congressperson, a known Republican and a woman. A first for us, on all counts — a Congresswoman, who has said that being a Republican in a Republican Congress cannot but help us in the territory. The next two years will tell — and I'm hoping for the best.
At long last American Samoa has a new representative in Congress.
She is Republican, Aumua Amata Radewagen, who has finally achieved what seemed to be the impossible many years ago, defeating long-serving Congressman, Faleomavaega Eni Hunkin, on Thursday. The win was not just some victory. Judging by the results, Aumua triumphed in emphatic fashion, crushing all her opponents by a big margin.
Just something to think about: In this little U.S. territorial island where I reside, we have a diversity of people from all walks of life. There are families with the following nationalities; Hawaiian, Tokelau, Tongan, Fijian, Maori, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Filipino, African American, and Caucasian, etc., and they are in some way integrated, connected or residing here because of one of these reasons; by marrying someone of Samoan descent, sponsored to work here, temporary contract employment, or maybe just visiting.
If you are reading this essay, it is because the election is over and Samoa News has decided to once again publish my occasional Amata's Journal columns as a public service to its readers.
As many people have remarked to me, yesterday's page one Samoa News photograph of Eni and me waving at the roadside to say thank you to the voters says it all about Samoan style politics: when the battle is over, we come together again.
It's an easy flow this week — only one thing to say — VOTE!
I don't care if you are for, or against the Veto Override — VOTE!
I don't care if you are going to vote your old faipule back in, despite his ugly performance — VOTE!
I don't care if you are selling your vote for a Ben Franklin — VOTE!
Dear Editor,
In the past two years most of the roads in District 15 have been paved, thanks to a first term faipule and her 6-year co-delegate. O WHERE O WHERE has our faipule gone?
The roads are a wreck, he doesn't give a heck. When you do not live in your district and only go to church there and to council meetings what can you expect? If we are lucky, we may see him every two years when he wants our vote.

The HydroTail Hydration System is a extremely light weight carbon fiber water bottle cage holder, designed from the ground up to surpass current rear hydration systems in weight, aerodynamics and ease of use. By using the San Diego Low Speed Wind Tunnel it was determined and the unit modified to achieve an increase in overall speed to that of 1:30 to 2 min per hour when compared to the leading rear hydration company's products.
The 100% carbon fiber unit gives it light weight without sacrificing strength. The inertia dampening carbon fiber properties also enable the unit to absorb some energy so as to not launch your water bottle. The user is also able to more easily grab their bottle by reaching to the side rather than behind them which makes drinking much easier. An industry first is that the device can accommodate 2 water bottles (standard) or an ultra fast single bottle set up. For the thirsty cyclist a 3rd bottle can be added as well or straps applied to hold your spare tire and Co2.
Does not include seat post, saddle, or water bottle cages.

Information About the Area from our Experts
OCH Student Rentals - Property Manager
Go ahead, ask a PPU student what the best part about their campus's location is, and a few are bound to mention the restaurants nearby. OK, maybe more than a few. Pittsburgh, and especially its downtown area, isn't the most diverse place to live, but you wouldn't know it from the restaurants near PPU. There are Cajun restaurants, Thai, Italian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Indian, Japanese... the list goes on. And there are so many to choose from, too. Students who live on-campus or nearby are blessed with the restaurant scene here, and students commuting from off-campus will definitely enjoy a lunch or dinner out as often as they can.
Public Transportation
OCH Student Rentals - Property Manager
Point Park's campus on Wood Street is a five minute walk from the Wood Street Station, which is one of the stops for the subway system that operates in and around downtown Pittsburgh. Students can board the blue and red lines there, and ideally ride them to their apartment, or close enough that they can walk or take a bus. As for buses near PPU, there are at least a dozen within walking distance, and they can transport you just as easily as the subway can. Most PPU students feel there's no need to own a car--riding the subway, buses, or walking can get them to where they need to be most of the time.

5) If you are fighting ES III, it's a
of a 2v1 match. You should perhaps focus on the support first, or watch your timing to pile on the damage in that
window it's on cooldown you talked about!
You also called it when you said you have to disable or destroy the support ship first.
So, I have to ask: Are you complaining that you can't blow up a ship 1v1 if the target has support, or are you complaining you can't point at something to make it blow up?
To be honest,
I want to be sweet and polite
, but everything you said just makes me think your a escort just having to suddenly work or pay attention for a kill. Not that in fact you can't get one.
we focus on one ship in a pvp we drop it from 100% to 30% in 2 sec but 2 ships extend that ship with 2 extend 3. 5 ships on focus fire on one ship and we could not kill it hum. we subnuk it and did not work. one on one only 5% of players in this game have a chance to kill me 1 on 1

Hywel Evans wins planning for new terraced housing
Richard Hywel Evans Architecture has won planning permission for this terrace of new homes in North London.The practice has won the green light for the 13 one- and two-bedroom homes and 142m2 of commercial space on a brownfield site, which is currently a carbreakers' yard. The scheme, for Christfield Estates, seeks to maximise natural light while retaining privacy through the partial use of opaque recycled car-windscreen glazing. Reclaimed brick and timber will also be used. Views from the adjacent Moray road will be over a planned green roof that will straddle the development. The scheme is scheduled for completion in 2007. by Ed Dorrell

Your guide to Philly's diverse creative scene, nightlife, music, food & more
Featured News
Here's the final chapter in the DJ Jazzy Jeff DJ series. Find out what advice he would give aspiring DJs!
Check out the rest of the series!
Watch the third video in a series on DJ Jazzy Jeff. Get an inside look into the legendary DJ's take on Philly's music culture--from Gamble & Huff to now.
Watch the video below. You might be surprised by some of his music ties to Philly's music legacy!
Many hits that have come out of Philly since 2000 have been touched by DJ Jazzy Jeff's music production company, A Touch of Jazz, in some way. He began the company as way to experiment with different sounds, and it quickly became a breeding ground of the soul music resurgence that came out of Philly. Mega talents--artists like Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild and songwriters/producers like Carvin & Ivan and Dre & Vidal--really developed their skills and sounds at A Touch of Jazz. Not to mention having major artists who recorded there, like Michael Jackson.
Watch the video to see what the legendary DJ had to say about A Touch of Jazz when we caught up with him in his recording studio.
And check out the first part to this series here.
Speaking of Philly DJ's...
We caught up with the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff in his studio to give you an in depth look at his connection to Philly, the DJ culture and much more.
This is the first of four chapters in a video series we'll be rolling out each week this month with the Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff. Watch the first chapter to find out how he got his start with block parties.
And, check out part two of this series here.
When it comes to the ones and twos, Philly is where it's at. From DJ legends like DJ Jazzy Jeff to up and comers and chart toppers, our DJ scene has kept Philly on the pulse of hot music for years. Some of the most well-known, respected and sought after DJs in the world learned how to tear up the turn tables right here in Philly.
This is the first of many DJ videos we'll be dropping this year. So sit back while we mix it up a bit.
Watch the video to get to know some of our favorite DJs--Rich Medina, King Britt, Statik and Ultraviolet.

A pirate's life should never be a solitary one, and the game works much better when played with a group of mates. [Issue #24, p.74]
Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is not particularly a bad game, it is just one that does not stand out.
It's a decent game that misses out on greatness due to a lack of thought in level design and a lack of variety in looks.
While it's still a way off being a title to remember, it's a massive improvement on KoD and shows promise for the franchise that appears to be on the up, addressing key areas like the difficulty.
I'd suggest avoiding this one, regardless of how low the price point may be, and you'd be better off spending your time on something else.
Pirates: Duels on the High Seas feels more like a game for mobile phones that you can pick up for a fiver than a twenty quid DS game. It shows very little imagination and no new ideas, as though the developers have drawn themselves a very small box and made no attempt to think outside of it.
