The countdown to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final will be cranked up next week when Trophy Tours are staged ahead of the Wembley spectacle.
The Johnstone's Paint Trophy team will take to the road next week to capture all the excitement surrounding Crewe Alexandra and Southend United ahead of their big day on Sunday, April 7.
The coveted trophy will be taken to destinations across the two towns of the finalists, offering fans the chance to have their picture taken with the silverware which the sides will do battle for next month.
Players and officials from both Crewe and Southend will also attend a string of events and be on hand to meet supporters.
The emphasis throughout the week will be on fun, with fans having the chance to be filmed singing a section of the National Anthem for a special video which will be launched on the Johnstone's Paint YouTube channel.
Giveaways aplenty will also be staged, with tickets for the Final, replica balls and Johnstone's Paint goodies all up for grabs.
"It promises to be a great four days and I'm sure the fans will be out in force in both Crewe and Southend," said Johnstone's Paint Brand and Sponsorship manager Ben Wilde.
"The Johnstone's Paint Trophy has always placed a very strong emphasis on engaging with fans, and what better way than hitting the road and meeting up with the supporters of the clubs who have done brilliantly to reach Wembley.
"These events will add to the excitement around the clubs and ensure Wembley fever continues to build. It would be great to see as many fans as possible come and join the fun."
The Trophy Tours will begin on Monday, March 25 in Southend, with the first port of call being the Victoria Shopping Centre.
The Johnstone's Paint Trophy Tour team will be there with the trophy between 2pm and 5pm, with two Southend players in attendance, before a frantic day of activity on Tuesday.
The excitement will start with a trip to the breakfast show at Southend Radio from 8am.
It's then down to Southend Central Railway Station for a special announcement at 2.30pm before the fun moves to the Johnstone's Decorating Centre on Bentalls Close.
Paul Sturrock and a Blues player will also attend the event, which will be staged between 4pm and 7pm.
The Johnstone's Paint Trophy Tour will then head up north to Crewe for another round of fun-filled activity.
Wednesday will see an exciting afternoon staged at the club shop at Crewe's Gresty Road stadium, with a number of players from the Alex squad in attendance.
It's another early start on Thursday morning with a feature on the Signal Radio Breakfast Show from 8am, before manager Steve Davis and more members of the playing staff join in at the Johnstone's Decorating Centre at Gateway, on the Crewe Gates Farm Industrial Estate. That event runs from 3pm until 7pm.

text: This peculiar import, an award-winner in Holland, may struggle to find an appreciative audience stateside. It's possible that something was lost in translation—or perhaps cultural norms and values differ. The plot is clear and believable if not particularly engaging. An elderly couple are happy together. The husband dies. The wife is lonely. A pet provides comfort. Present-tense declarative sentences convey the action effectively but have an abrupt tone that some young listeners may find disconcerting. "One day John falls over. His heart stops beating." Jitta's illustrations likewise lack conventional child appeal. Created on a background of graph paper, they include collage, ink and paint. Figures are simply, sometimes awkwardly, drawn, and backgrounds are generally unpopulated. Movement is implied, and some gentle visual humor is included, but unfortunately the overall effect is disorienting. Unlike the winsome Tim (the cat Lola selects from the titular website to keep her company and cheer her days), this odd tale is unlikely to be chosen and enjoyed by casual browsers. For parents seeking to explain changes in a grandparent's behavior after being widowed, however, it may be helpful. (Picture book. 5-8)

Podcast: Undocumented teens and abortion
This week, we look at the case Hargan v. Garza, a lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of undocumented immigrant that asks if the federal government can deny access to an abortion for pregnant undocumented teens.
As of January 11, 2018, the Supreme Court was considering the case in private conference.
Joining National Constitution Center president and CEO Jeffrey Rosen to discuss this important question are two of America's leading experts on constitutional and family law.
Catherine Glenn Foster is President and CEO of Americans United for Life. She served as Counsel of Record for amicus curiae Alliance Defending Freedom's Amicus Brief in Planned Parenthood v. Abbott, which defended Texas' healthcare regulations around abortion clinics.
Leah Litman is Assistant Professor of Law at the University of California, Irvine School of Law. She co-authored Petitioner's Brief in Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt case, which successfully challenged Texas' healthcare regulations around abortion clinics.

Following months of lobbying from businesses and other internet groups, global internet name regulator ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), agreed unanimously to expand top level domain suffixes beyond the current seven names such as .com, .org and .net. Country suffixes such as .uk, .fr (France) and so on are not classified as 'top level'.
ICANN, which convened last week in Yokohama, Japan, sanctioned expansion in principle as predicted [WAMN, 13-Jul-00], but failed to agree on any specific suffixes, leading critics to accuse it of torpidity. Instead, a public consultation will follow with the final selection of suffixes unlikely to be announced until December at earliest.
Said one ICANN board member, Esther Dyson: "We were looking for diversity among domain names. The meaning of this is a reduction of scarcity. We're expecting new names by early next year."
Among the many lobbyists for change is the European Union which wants an .eu suffix to boost the internet profile of European-based companies. Other groups are campaigning for a system using non-western alphabets.

Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Tuesday, 30 January
Timeform pick out three bets from Sheffield on Tuesday...
"He rates the likeliest leader again this evening and expected to strip fitter..."
SHERLOCK (Trap 3, 19.58) had little go right over 480 metres last week but he had previously made waves in C&D sprint contests, showing well-above average ability in the process. He will need his trapping boots on this evening, but we're hopeful he can and resume winning ways.
The lack of a recent look round is an obvious concern for CALZAGHE BRADLEY (Trap 1, 20.28) yet his exploits both in Ireland and on these shores make him of significant interest. A recent 28.70 trial around Newcastle was slick and with 6-bend winning form at Limerick to call upon, he is expected to make a bold bid drawn inside moderate starters from the red jacket.
Considering he'd been on the side-lines for some time, it was all the more encouraging to see GEELO YANKEE (Trap 5, 21.14) go close in a deep A1 contest 7 days ago, unsurprisingly caught late in the day having cut out much of the running. He rates the likeliest leader again this evening and expected to strip fitter, he can turn tonight into a victory.
Recommended bets
Sherlock (Trap 3) in the 19:58 at Sheffield
Calzaghe Bradley (Trap 1) in the 20:28 at Sheffield
Geelo Yankee (Trap 5) in the 21:14 at Sheffield

In the last five years, NGO activities in Crimean Tatar communities in Crimea, Ukraine, have increased considerably. Activities extend to the areas of education, health care, human and civil rights, family and women, and the revival of traditional culture. As Crimean Tatars strive to resettle in their ancestral homeland, after a fifty-year forced exile, their work at the grass-roots level is assisted by a number of international organizations.
Crimean Tatar Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)*
Among those involved in supporting NGO activities in Crimea are The National Endowment for Democracy (Washington, DC), The International Renaissance Foundation (Kiev office), Open Society Institute (New York), Institute for Democracy in Eastern Europe (Washington, D.C. and Warsaw), Minority Rights Group (London), Westminster Foundation for Democracy (London), World Press Freedom Committee (New York), Education for Democracy Foundation (Warsaw), Helsinki Human Rights Group (Warsaw), International Organization for Migration (Kiev office), the Eurasia Foundation (Kiev office), the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (Kiev office), The Crimean Tatar Association of Culture and Mutual Aid (Ankara and Istanbul), Stefan Batory Foundation (Warsaw), and the Embassies of the Netherlands, Great Britain, the United States and Canada in Ukraine.
This Web presentation covers 13 Crimean Tatar NGOs (listed below) that are located in the cities of Simferopol, Bakhchisaray, and Yevpatoria. As we expect to include additional information on other Crimean NGOs, we invite you to visit this site again.
- The Crimean Tatar Initiative
- The Rebirth of Crimea Foundation
- The Evlâd Charitable Organization
- The Yashliq Cultural Center
- The League of Crimean Tatar Women
- Zaman: Young Journalists Club
- The Teachers Council
- Foundation for Naturalization and Human Rights
- Foundation for Research and Support of the Indigenous Peoples of Crimea
- The Marama Association
- Emel: Parents Committee
- The Yashliq Youth Center
- Zincirli Medrese Association
The Crimean Tatar Initiative (Simferopol)The Crimean Tatar Initiative (CTI) was registered in 1997 as a non-profit, non-governmental public organization. The main goals of the CTI is to coordinate activities of three organizations, the Rebirth of Crimea Foundation (Bakhchisaray), the Evlâd Charitable Organization (Simferopol), and the Yashlik Cultural Center (Yevpatoria) by ensuring the efficient use of their resources.
The Crimean Tatar Initiative conducts programs in several areas:
Civic EducationThis program offers seminars and round-tables for NGO representatives to share experiences in civic initiatives and administers training sessions for Crimean and Ukrainian NGOs on the following topics:
In 1997-1998, the project "Assistance in Writing Project Proposals" aimed to provide technical and consulting support to NGOs, schools and libraries, was implemented. The goal of this project was to get citizens from the far regions of Crimea to participate in the Soros Foundation program "Integration of formerly deported Crimean Tatar people, Armenians, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Germans into the Ukrainian society." As a result, 27 projects from 14 Crimean regions were approved.
- Democratic Leadership
- Strategic Planning of NGO Activities
- The Role of Civic Initiatives
- Fund raising
- Civic Education in Schools
- How to Write Successful Project Proposals
- Methods of Effective Partnership with Local Governments
- The Parents' Committees in Schools
- The School Self-Governance
The CTI seminars and training sessions are based on the methods of the Education for Democracy Foundation (Warsaw, Poland) and adapted to the practical needs of participants. In making selections, the trainers group takes into account the input from the representatives of local organizations. In general, teachers, doctors, journalists, and public activists are invited.
Because local authorities also take part in these sessions, the CTI began to develop a new series of seminars for NGOs on how to maintain effective partnership with local governments. The aims of these seminars are to assist in the development of local democracy through better understanding of the role of state and society, to establish contacts among them, and to share the positive experience of successful cooperation in other regions of Crimea.
To meet information needs of the Civic Education Program, a database called Civic Initiatives in Crimea was compiled and is being regularly updated. A small library with newspapers, bulletins, books and other needed publications has been established. Presently the CTI is also working on creating a WEB page.
Social ProgramThe goal of this program is to provide assistance to parents of seriously ill children and arrange for medical treatment. For the 1993-1998 period, hundreds of Crimean Tatars have received help from this program, which distributed humanitarian aid (mainly medicines, totaling 15 tons) to people with urgent needs.
13 doctors visited clinics in Poland, Russia, Germany, and Turkiye to improve and update skills, and further develop contacts with other NGOs working in the health-care areas. The CTI assisted in creating 10 self-help groups of parents of ill children in different regions of Crimea in order to develop local civic initiatives and join efforts to resolve problems.
Program for Youth and ChildrenThis program includes the following major activities:
- Organization of the International Camps in Crimea, where teenagers from various regions of Ukraine and foreign countries participate. In 1997, one hundred teenagers spent one month learning conversational English with the support of 15 professional teachers from the US, using methods of the Bridges for Education organization (Buffalo, New York).
- Administration of the Recent History Competition among school students. This competition covers the history of Crimean Tatar people from 1937 to 1964.
Internet for Schools and LibrariesThe program involves the development and realization of the Information Support Program for Education using Internet resources and other computer technologies in cooperation with schools and libraries. Within this program, Crimean Tatar schools and libraries were provided with computers and communication equipment at a total cost of $34,000.

The Rebirth of Crimea Foundation (Bakhchisaray)The Rebirth of Crimea Foundation (RCF) was established in 1994 in Bakhchisaray, with the purpose of assisting NGOs by acting as a 'resource center.' It provides advice, helps with proposal writing, identifies funding sources, and coordinates placements in training and other programs in Ukraine and abroad. The RCF maintains contact with representatives of American and Western European foundations in Ukraine, as well as with local governments in a number of Crimean cities.
The RCF performs a variety of services for Crimean NGO representatives. In addition to consultations at its office, it offers access to NGO networks and joint activities, sets up meetings with representatives of western foundations, and provides information about new training and funding opportunities. Similarly, the RCF representatives travel at least once each quarter to areas in Crimea where NGOs are located to meet with their representatives, offer advice and assistance with problem solving, and meet local officials and independent media.
The need for RCF activities has partly risen from the fact that Western foundations were previously inactive in Crimea. Ukrainian NGOs have also been slow to reach out to their Crimean counterparts, which are geographically isolated from the rest of Ukraine, Europe and the West. The Foundation employs four full-time staff members.
Update on 1999 Activities:
Rebirth of Crimea Foundation has continued to provide assistance to non-profit organizations in Crimea.
The folk dance group of Dzhemile Osmanova travelled to Poland and gave ten performances in various cities, where they were met with enthusiastic response. The tour was organized with the assistance of the Polish IDEE Foundation and the RCF.
The RFC assisted several organizations and national schools with writing project proposals that were submited to the regional branch of the International Renaissance Foundation. Among them are the Emel Parents Committee (Bakhchisaray), and schools of Mirnovka (Dzhankoy district) and Teplovka (Simferopol district). All three projects aimed to increase information support at schools by purchasing computer equipment (for Internet access), textbooks and books, and subscription to newspapers.
The Foundation staff provides technical assistance in publishing the socio-political magazine Ocaq in Crimean Tatar and Russian languages. Plans call for distributing this publication among the Crimean Tatar Diaspora abroad. In addition, using the computer facilities of the RCF, the Ukrainian House organization (Bakhchisaray) publishes its local independent biweekly newspaper Dumka in Ukrainian and Russian languages.
A new project, which aims to publish a digest of the historical Terjuman newspaper, has recently approved by the International Renaissance Foundation. First published in 1883 by the famous Crimean Tatar leader Ismail Bey Gasprinski, Terjuman continued to be published until 1918.
The Foundation was a co-sponsor of the recent journalism camp that was held in Bakhchisaray. Organized with financial support from the Stefan Batory Foundation (Poland), the camp offered to aspiring young journalists from Poland, Ukraine, and Crimea training in publishing newsletters. Besides producing three newsletters, the participants had an opportunity to learn about the culture, traditions, and customs of other ethnic groups, and to visit numerous historical and cultural sites in Crimea.

The Evlâd Charitable Organization (Simferopol)A non-governmental organization, the Evlâd was officially registered in 1996. The aims of the Evlâd are to involve the community in the decision of medical treatment and rehabilitation of seriously ill children and to provide assistance to doctors in learning the effective methods of treatment. The following organizations are the partners of the Evlâd:
The organization evolved from community efforts to assist children with leukemia and related blood diseases. Later the group's activities included social protection of Crimean Tatars returning home. Thanks to the public attention to these problems, we received more than 15 tons of medicine for Crimean clinics. The joint efforts of parents, doctors and people resulted in the creation of an emergency fund for important medicines needed to save the lives of many children. About 70 people received medical and consultative assistance monthly. We arranged medical treatments in Ukraine, Germany, Turkiye, and Russia for extremely serious cases. The Evlâd also began to assist doctors, particularly hematologists, with training in new methods of treatment used in other countries.
- The Rebirth of Crimea Foundation, Bakhchisaray
- The Yashliq Cultural Center, Yevpatoria
- The Parents' Initiative Organization, Simferopol
- The Institute for Democracy in Eastern Europe, Warsaw, Poland
- The Doctors of Hope Foundation, Krakow, Poland
- The Crimean Tatar Association of Culture and Mutual Aid, Istanbul, Turkiye
Since 1997 the Evlâd has been involved in the following projects:
Program of creating self-help groups in Crimean regions. This program aims to coordinate efforts of parents, regional and local self-governance bodies, various public organizations and doctors in the treatment and rehabilitation of ill children. There are already 10 such groups, among them the Ekim Association, created to protect professional and social interests of medical workers. We provide organizational, consultative and technical assistance to them.
Program of internships for Crimean doctors. The purpose of this program is to arrange for internship opportunities in the leading clinics and institutions in Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Turkiye and other countries.
Program of training for Crimean doctors. This program attempts to create opportunities for doctors to learn and practice new methods of treatment. In October 1998, we have organized a month-long seminar for Crimean hematologists, taught by leading Ukrainian professors of medicine. Similar seminars are planned for doctors in other specialities.
We have successfully implemented the following projects:
During his visit to Ukraine in May 1998, the President of the Turkish Republic, Mr. Suleyman Demirel, awarded the Evlâd a special humanitarian prize.
- A new project, "Let's help ourselves," funded by the International Organization for Migration
- "Consolidating efforts of parents and people in helping ill children," supported by the International Renaissance Foundation (Soros Foundation)
- A seminar for Crimean hematologists, sponsored by International Women's Club (Kiev)
The Evlâd's new plan, "Assistance to ill children during their treatment and medical consultation" aims to establish a hospice for children coming to Simferopol from other regions of Crimea for medical consultations, treatment and check-ups in the city's clinics.

The Yashliq Cultural Center (Yevpatoria)A public organization, the Yashliq Cultural Center was established in 1994. The aim of the Center is to assist with the development of civic initiatives and civic education. Its first project was the opening of a library in the Ismail-bey Crimean Tatar settlement near Yevpatoria in 1994. Since that time, the Yashliq activists sponsored many events (seminars, training sessions, and round tables). In general, teachers, students, school pupils, medical workers, journalists, librarians, and representatives of Crimean public organizations are involved in these activities.
Civic Education
In 1997-1998, the Yashliq Center conducted seven seminars for Crimean NGOs. In cooperation with the Polish Education for Democracy Foundation, the "Training Trainers" seminar was held for teachers from Lviv, Kiev, Simferopol, Bakhchisaray and Yevpatoria in August 1998. Since November 1998, the trainers of the Yashliq Center have been conducting a series of seminars on local initiatives development in ten regions of Crimea. This project is supported by the International Renaissance Foundation. In addition, with the assistance of the Crimean Tatar Initiative, the Yashliq Center has been working on a project, "Consultation and technical support for public organizations, schools, and libraries planning to write grant proposals." In 1996, a workshop on "The Democratic Leadership" was offered for 17 youth organizations of Crimea.
It is important to note that the seminars and training sessions are adapted to the practical needs of participants. In the last two years, training sessions have focused on the following main topics:
- Democratic leadership
- Strategic planning for NGO activities
- Increasing the role of civic initiatives
- Fund raising
- Civic education in schools
- How to write project proposals
- Multimedia and Internet for schools
- Increasing the role of public libraries in civil society development
The Yashliq Center actively involves the local authorities in these seminars. For example, we have started a new program of seminars for NGO representatives called "Methods of effective partnership with local governments" in an effort to develop local democratic initiatives and maintain contacts between NGOs. The trainers of the Center are cooperating with colleagues from other public organizations in Ukraine and actively seeking new partnerships.
Informational support
The Yashliq Cultural Center is also involved in the following activities that popularize the history and culture of Crimea:
- Assistance to school libraries in obtaining literature on the history and culture of Crimean Tatars
- Preparation of electronic texts of rare publications on the history and culture of Crimea
- Consulting on informational support for the history and culture of Crimea
Several projects that provide informational support to national schools in five regions of Crimea, at a cost of $30,000, were approved. The Center obtained more than 800 books and subscriptions to 39 newspapers and journals, made more than 3,000 photo copies of documents relating to the history and culture of Crimea, and purchased copy machines and computers for Internet access.
Youth oriented projects
To assist in resolving the problems of youth (especially Crimean Tatar youth, socially the most unprotected), the Yashliq Cultural Center is carrying out a program of social adaptation, called "Help yourself" in the Ismail-bey micro region of Yevpatoria. The goals of this program are:
The Yashliq Center has been able to find jobs for more than 170 young Crimean Tatars residing in the Yevpatoria area.
- to provide information and support for finding jobs and continuing education opportunities
- to offer training sessions on topics such as "How to find a job," "Youth and alcoholism," and "Why do I need the Internet?"

The Teachers Council (Bakhchisaray)The activities of this organization are directed to the establishment and further development of the Crimean Tatar national education system. The Council was officially registered in October 1994, with the purpose of developing the educational system by establishing schools with curriculum in Crimean Tatar language.
The Teachers Council is involved in the following activities:
- assists in organizing continuing education courses for teachers;
- conducts seminars for teachers on using the new effective methods of teaching in cooperation with Polish educational organizations;
- makes arrangements for visits to other countries, aimed at learning about their educational systems and new technologies;
- organizes free-time and out-of-school activities for children;
- prepares and disseminates method books and guides for teachers;

There are 5 Council members who have passed the training courses of the Polish Foundation for Education for Democracy. The Teachers' Council has successfully implemented a number of projects, including the "Civic Education" and "The Crimean School - Steps Towards 21st Century," supported by the International Renaissance Foundation, International Organization for Migration, and the Eurasia Foundation.
Update on 1999 Activities:
Members of the Teachers' Council participated in many seminars, round tables and conferences relating to the problems of education in general and of instruction in native languages in particular. The issues of national education in Crimea, including the shortcomings and successes of newly opened Crimean Tatar national schools, are widely discussed at these meetings.
There is a close cooperation between the Teachers' Council and similar organizations in other countries. For instance, Belorussian activists expressed an interest in the work of the Council and would like to organize joint seminars and training sessions.
The Council continues to work with the Polish Foundation for Education for Democracy (FED). Recently, a seminar for members of National Mejlis (self-governing body of the Crimean Tatar people) was organized with the assistance of the FED. At this seminar, there was an interesting exchange of opinions on such democratic principles as basics of negotiation, determining goals and ways to achieve them, and holding conferences, meetings and congresses. Seminar participants (executive officers of regional Mejlis branches) said they would like to have similar seminars at the regional level.
In July and August, the Council members took part in a seminar that was organized by the Polish FED and Tashkent Center for Public Education (Uzbekistan). The seminar was attended by secondary school teachers from Central Asian countries.
In addition, the Council conducted a seminar on self-governance at the Crimean Tatar school in Stary Krym on 14-15 August. Five schools were represented by their students and teachers. Again, the seminar was organized with the cooperation of FED trainers.
After two-year long negotiations with government authorities, a new school with instruction in Crimean Tatar language was opened in Bakhchisaray on 1 September, along with 55 other secondary schools throughout Ukraine. The National Mejlis Chairman Mustafa Jemilev (MP), Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Kunitsin, and other officials attended the ceremony. The President Leonid Kuchma of Ukraine sent a telegram congratulating the new school.

Foundation for Naturalization and Human Rights (Simferopol)Citizenship--the basic right of humans,
because it is the right to have the rights
Arl Warren
According to the official data, in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea there are about 100,000 people who do not have Ukrainian citizenship. The overwhelming majority of them are representatives of the formerly deported peoples. By their legal status these people are either citizens of other countries (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, etc.) or persons without any citizenship. All of them have returned from exile with the strong intention to reside permanently in Crimea. Despite this fact, the existing legislation and conditions do not allow them to obtain Ukrainian citizenship in a relatively short time. These people remain without most of the rights that Ukrainian citizens have and practically are excluded from normal public life.
Since its establishment in 1997, the Foundation has been working on the citizenship issue. It carefully keeps up with the legislation updates, maintains close contacts with the state offices working on related matters and with international organizations. (In particular, good cooperation was established with the UN High Commissioner on Refugees Office in Ukraine). The Foundation staff assists people in filling out the required forms to obtain Ukrainian citizenship. The Foundation also helps people identify and solve problems caused by the lack of Ukrainian citizenship.

Foundation for Research and Support of the Indigenous Peoples of Crimea (Simferopol)The Foundation for Research and Support of the Indigenous Peoples Crimea is a public, charitable, and nonprofit organization that protects national and cultural rights of individuals. It was created with the purposes of fostering interest in national, cultural, social, legal and economic issues and assisting in the development of a multi-national society in Crimea.
The main goal of the Foundation is to provide assistance in the revival of cultures, traditions and customs of indigenous peoples (Crimean Tatars, Karaites, Krymchaks) as well as other ethnic groups of Crimea. The Foundation works at solving problems in cooperation with the state authorities, associations and unions, and international organizations.
The Foundation is not a political organization, but one that strives to promote and maintain inter-cultural, inter-faith and inter-ethnic dialog in Crimea, which hopefully will help prevent possible inter-ethnic conflicts and strengthen civil peace and order.
Among the Foundation's founders are people of different nationalities, creeds, and professions: historians, museum workers, journalists and archivists. They have wide experience in public administration and scientific fields.
The Foundation actively works at the international level. Our representatives participated in the projects of the UN Working Group on Minorities in May 1998, as well as the UN Working Group on Indigenous Population. The Foundation has close contacts and cooperates with several international organizations, including UN agencies like UNHCR, IMO, UNDP, OSCE, and ILO.
In October 1998, the Foundation received a grant from the International Renaissance Foundation's Program of Integration of formerly deported Crimean Tatars, Armenians, Bulgars, Greeks, and Germans into the Ukrainian society. As part of this project, "Development of the multi cultural tolerant civil society: necessary condition for securing of indigenous peoples rights," a publication was issued: "International law on indigenous peoples." Another one, "NGOs mission and possibilities in preservation of the national identity, development of national cultures and forming pluralistic multi-cultural society" is in preparation.
The second stage of the project involves publishing three issues of the bulletin Altin Besik, supported by the International Renaissance Foundation and the Minority Rights Group International (Great Britain). The following themes are to be discussed in these publications: Collection of international documents and Acts of Ukraine on national minorities, languages, deportation and deported peoples, and collection of legislative literature on deportations of 1941-1944.

The Marama Association (Bakhchisaray)A non-governmental organization, the Marama Association was officially founded in September 1997, with the support of the Institute for Democracy in Eastern Europe and the Rebirth of Crimea Foundation.
The word Marama is the name of traditional headdress worn by Crimean Tatar women. After the deportation of Crimean Tatars, we have lost most of our culture and art. It is clear that restoring traditional arts and crafts of Crimean Tatars demands enormous effort and large financial resources. During the last 10 years following the return of Crimean Tatars to their motherland, more problems appeared, including unemployment. Considering the urgent need for new jobs, along with the revival and development of national arts and crafts, the Association has adopted the following goals and objectives:
In 1998, 15 women were involved in our project of reviving Crimean Tatar art of gold embroidering. They are presently making souvenirs using the gold embroidering technique at home.
- to revive and further develop Crimean national arts and crafts
- to provide assistance in the creation of new jobs
- to carry out exhibitions and auctions
- to assist in the creation of courses in various educational institutions, public organizations and state enterprises
The future plans include organizing a puppet studio, "The legends and tales of Crimean Tatars" in Bakhchisaray, and an embroidery club for children of school age in Crimean Tatar settlements.

Emel: Parents Committee (Bakhchisaray)The Emel Committee is a non-governmental and non-profit organization, which was officially registered in May 1998. It represents parents of students attending four Bakhchisaray schools. The aims of this organization are to assist with the opening of new educational institutions that teach in the Crimean Tatar language and to provide parental input into school activities in order to produce the best educational results.
The organization achieves its goals thru the implementation of the following activities:
- informs parents about the school rules and Ukrainian laws relating to education;
- undertakes fund-raising activities to support schools;
- sponsors events to cultivate the love of Motherland, culture and traditions, and native language;
- conducts programs on the history of religion;
- supports preservation and restoration of cultural and historical monuments in Crimea;
- organizes internship programs and continuing education courses for teachers within Ukraine and abroad;
- arranges out-of-school and free-time activities for students;
- holds meetings for parents to share experiences and undertake joint projects;
- develops contacts with similar organizations in other countries.
Currently, the Parents Committee includes 21 members. Soon after its official registration, the organization began to work actively on creating the Crimean Tatar school in Bakhchisaray, with the support of other public organizations such as the Teachers' Council and the Rebirth of Crimea Foundation. The Committee members gathered more than 850 signatures from parents who wanted to send their children to a Crimean Tatar national school. Several meetings were held with the Educational Department of the District State Administration. Consequently, the State Administration approved the establishment of a national Crimean Tatar school in Bakhchisaray in August 1998. The Committee continues to work with governmental offices and civic organizations on issues relating to national education. Recently, it was awarded a grant by the International Renaissance Foundation to purchase equipment for a computer laboratory at the new school.

Zincirli Medrese Association (Bakhchisaray)Crimean Tatar non-profit organizations work not only in traditional spheres, but also in areas relating to the repatriation of the deportees. Among such activities are the restoration and further development of historical and cultural traditions.
The Zincirli Medrese Association has borrowed its name from the historical Zincirli Medrese, one of the oldest educational institutions in eastern Europe. The Medrese in turn takes its name from the large chain that hangs over its door. First established in the 16th century, it became a progressive school in Crimea, especially under the leadership of the famous Crimean Tatar leader and publisher Ismail Gaspirali (1851-1914).
The Zincirli Medrese Association was founded in 1997, with the purpose of restoring the Medrese building and turning it into a functioning educational facility once again. The Association has taken the initial steps toward restoring the historical structure and is currently seeking additional funding for the completion of the restoration project.
The Zincirli Medrese is also active in reviving nearly forgotten Crimean Tatar traditions. Since 1998 the Association has been involved in reviving a national sport: Kuresh or wrestling. Two qualified trainers, a wrestler and a professional athlete, now offer classes for more than 50 interested teenagers. It is also worth noting that the training sessions are not limited only to Crimean Tatar youth but include teenagers of other ethnic backgrounds.
In order to collect more information about Kuresh, the trainers have traveled to various regions of Crimea to meet older people familiar with the tactics of wrestling matches or descendants of famous wrestler families. In February 1999, the organization received a grant from the Canadian Embassy in Ukraine for establishing a School of Crimean Tatar National Wrestling in Bakhchisaray. The funds were used to purchase the necessary equipment and uniforms for the sportsmen. The Association is also planning to organize a conference to determine the general rules of Kuresh. According to an agreement reached with the Crimean Republican Association of Sport Affairs, the Federation of Kuresh will soon be registered officially.
In 1999 the Zincirli Medrese Association established an Experimental Theater in Bakhchisaray. Aspiring young actors (ages 16-20) participate in classes, offered by Elmar Ablayev, a talented graduate student from the Kiev State Theater Institute, and other teachers. The theater performances, consisting of short plays, will be in the Crimean Tatar language. The premiere performance is scheduled for October 1999. The financial assistance for the Experimental Theater project has been provided by IDEE-Warsaw Foundation.

Domestic violence is a depressingly common news item from the world of athletics, but it took a form unlike which we can remember on Halloween. A dispute between Florida International University's Jonnu Smith and his girlfriend ended with the senior tight suffering injuries that will put an end to his college career. Mary Gaspar, who is five months pregnant with Smith's child, dumped a pot of boiling water on him.
Smith received severe burns on his head, neck, back, a shoulder and arm. It will be months before the burns heal enough to play football, and Smith's future pro prospects are very much in jeopardy. Even before the injuries, the Miami Herald claims that he was being viewed as a possible late-round pick for the 2017 NFL Draft. The argument reportedly started over Gaspar being unsatisfied with how much attention Smith was paying her.
Gaspar told campus police that when they want to Smith's dorm room, she boiled a pot of water and dumped it on him, and when he "didn't react strongly enough for her" according to the Herald, she starting hitting him with her open hand. She was arrested for aggravated battery and released on a pre-trial release order. Smith, who has already been released from the hospital, will finish his college career with 175 receptions, 1,936 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Mexico City, Mexico — People who made false earthquake victim claims have returned their cheques after the government issued warnings against making the false claims.
Eduardo Rovelo, Comptroller General of Mexico City (CDMX), reported that some people who received the check of 3,000 pesos from the Housing Institute (INVI) have gone to the agency to return the money.
Rovelo said that the "false victims" had understood the government's message, which if convicted, would be tried by the Criminal Code that would condemn them to 3 years in prison and a substantial fine.
After the public warning, a few people returned the money they received.
The money was distributed following the earthquake of September 19 which would help those affected who have suffered damage to their home and could rent elsewhere. According to the Head of Government of the CDMX, Miguel Angel Mancera, the city has distributed 20,867 checks of which 3,800 reached the wrong hands.

The pragmatic action research and John Dewey's contribution to its formation
Eleftheria Papastefanaki
M.A., University of Crete
Abstract: The work school and the action research are two very important approaches in education. Despite the fact that the two approaches were developed in different periods of time, we can see many similarities between them. This paper will attempt to present the common ground between action research and the theory of school work, as developed by the American educator Dewey. Particularly, we will underline the similarities of the two views on the following points: the human experience, the relation between individual and society and the special attention of both approaches to a democratic school. The leading role that holds the evaluation of human experience in both views, shows the important position that teachers and students have in educational practice and in school life. Furthermore, the concern for the effective preparation of students for social life is certainly associated with the development of a democratic school.

Slow Cooker Tips to Swear By!
I have a brand new slow cooker sitting in my kitchen cabinet. I'm going to be completely honest—it probably has been there for 3 years. I always intend on using it, but I'm one of the lucky ones; I spend my day in the kitchen. It's my job and my passion. I have time to spend fiddling around with gas stoves and pots with lids. That, my friends, is why I haven't taken it out of the box yet.
Just because I'm "old school" doesn't mean you are, though. So many of you tell me you rely and swear on your slow cooker. You'd even give up your partner before giving it up. I get it , I get it! All of us aren't so lucky to have the time I do to spend in your kitchen whipping up a healthy meal and the few times I have used a slow cooker, I have to admit that I found it very convenient and liked the results

Siu Medical Dean Teaching Managed Care
Patrick E. Gauen Of the Post-Dispatch, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
What's the difference between practicing psychiatry and heading the SIU Medical School?
"Now my patients have tenure," quipped Dr. Carl J. Getto, who has traded his diagnostic couch for an administrative conference table.
It doesn't take long for Getto, 48, dean since last fall, to describe what's troubling the minds of his faculty and students in particular - and medical practitioners in general - as they face new uncertainty in their profession.
"Managed care" is its name, and "less money" is its game.
The spreading concept has a foothold elsewhere, including Wisconsin, where Getto formerly was acting dean of the state university's medical school. But it is still fairly new to Central and Southern Illinois, he said.
Put simply, managed care means that insurance companies or Medicaid or whoever is paying the bill will pay an alliance of doctors and hospitals a flat sum to take care of somebody.
More than ever, profit will depend on efficiency and teamwork.
Getto's job is to steer each year's 74 graduating physicians from Southern Illinois University toward new ways of doing old things. (The first year's training is based at Carbondale and the next three at Springfield.)
"Managed care is not a natural inclination for doctors," Getto said in a recent interview at his office in Springfield.
"The biggest addition to teaching that managed care is causing us to think about is adding cost as an issue when we look at treatment," he said. "Not that it is the overriding issue - and I think there's a misperception that anytime you talk managed care you're talking about cheap. That's not the case. What you're talking about is weighing in cost as one of the factors in making decisons."
The purpose of managed care, of course, is saving money. And that, SIU's students are coming to realize, may mean less earnings in their future.
"In most managed care plans, the risk of whether or not you're going to have enough money to pay for all the care you agreed to do is shared by the physician and the plan," Getto explained. "So the physician is actually put at risk financially."
Another challenge of change, he said, is reorienting doctors, typically quite independent, to get them to work well in tightly woven teams of physicians and other health professionals.
Getto, who holds a master's degree in business administration as well as credentials as a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry, said it is too soon to determine what the impact will be.
His message to students:
"That they will make a very reasonable, comfortable living as physicians. That the finances of medical care are changing. That to be a physician in the future, one needs to know how to work in a system different from the traditional system of the past. That we can provide them with a lot of the tools for dealing with that. And that part of why they went into medicine - to help people and to be of benefit to communities - is actually going to be more possible in the future. …

He was all talent and heart, with a brilliant mind that excelled at finding something exceptional in the mundane. John Kominicki.
Newspapering isn't something he did for a living. It was actually part of his DNA. He did it better than anyone, not simply because he was equipped with a stellar skill set, but because he questioned everything. Most of us forget that sense of wonder we had as children, yet John Kominicki never outgrew it.
More than anyone else I've ever met in media, John had a supreme understanding of the power of words, and when he deployed his seemingly infinite arsenal of nouns, adjectives and the like, he did so with laser accuracy and great responsibility. As editor and publisher of Long Island Business News, he was mindful of how easy it was for a newspaper to assign a label to the subject of a story, and that was something he tried hard to avoid because people are complicated subjects.
Or maybe it was simply because he, himself, seemed indefinable at times. He loved his family greatly and was passionate about his craft, yet he spent enormous amounts of time trapped inside his head, where ideas played out like movies.
While his mind was a fertile playground, it must have been a lonely place: The man was the most social creature on the planet.
That was part of his brilliance. He knew newspapering transcended storytelling. To his mind, it created a tapestry that wove our community together, and every story ultimately touched every other.
You always knew when he had an idea. He'd bound into the room like an overly energetic puppy grappling with the realities of outsized paws. He considered it his duty as an American to rush to market with a project — details be damned, we'll figure that out later.
When something did go awry, which was pretty often, an interoffice phone call would take place. "Kominicki here," it would begin. "Can you meet me down the street in 15?"
The bar at the Holiday Inn in Ronkonkoma was John's second office; the first being where he officially hung his hat, on Smithtown Avenue across from the airport. He couldn't smoke in his first office; hence, the need for a second. For him, the second came with the added bonus of karaoke night. House of the Rising Sun was a favorite.
When someone truly needed Kominicki's ear, they'd turn up down the street. It was there where new features for the paper were created and business deals were solidified. Ideas were often drafted on a napkin. Pen in one hand, Courvoisier in the other.
There were days and weeks when an endless assortment of notables from business and government would stream into the bar, seeking his help. It was exhausting, but John thrived on it.
He took great pleasure in not knowing who would walk into the room next. That's one of the reasons he loved going to events around the Island. He loved an audience, and they loved him back, even when he insisted on telling his Bruno Hauptmann joke, which no one but him ever understood. God, he so loved history, humanity, and humor.
He hated words like 'icon' and 'guru.' Conversely, he was a great fan of 'gadgets,' 'geegaws' and 'stuff.'
He loved technology and real estate mostly, I suspect, because those two industries laid claim to the best toys.
He had a need to excel. He was competitive, sure, but he also took great pride in what he put his name on. When advertising revenues were taking a hit, it was at the second office where he decided it was time to create a series of events. Those went well, and most importantly, John's paper remained at the top of the Dolan Media food chain. That's what was really important. You see, as long as he remained at the top, he knew he could duck out of what he hated most: direction from a corporate master. It wasn't unusual for corporate to send in a colonel once a year or so, simply to check on things, after months of phone calls went unreturned.
Whenever Jim Dolan (no relation to the Long Island Dolan family) dispatched staff from the mothership to darken the doorstep at 2150, they appeared a bit perplexed throughout the visit. Partly surprised the place hadn't burned down under Kominicki's watch, no doubt, and partly disappointed, as if they'd lost money in a Minneapolis-based office pool devoted to when, not if, it was going to happen.
With great ease, John would apologize for being out of touch. When the subject of the head office's need to hear from him on a regular basis was ever-so-gingerly broached, John — just as easily — made it clear such a change in behavior was beyond his control. He was upfront about that when he was hired, and he saw no need to revisit the matter. Apologize? Sure. Seek permission? Never.
In his defense, on the rare occasion he mistakenly answered a call from corporate, it led to great trauma. No interoffice telephonics occurred in these instances. He'd simply appear, larger than life, hovering above your computer screen. His synopsis of the situation would be characteristically clear and concise: "I've never been in so much trouble."
Those unfamiliar with the Kominicki user manual would question, "What happened?"
Those of us who lived it chapter and verse would refrain from asking, "What now?"
Copious amounts of time were devoted to finding loopholes in corporate policies. More often than not, he got what he wanted, even if it meant Dolan himself had to step in. When things got down to the wire, Kominicki would impress, in an Oscar-caliber performance, how he was too busy making the company money to read memos about things that somehow didn't apply to him.
He was an outsider to Long Island, having lived and worked abroad as well as across the states, but he learned and loved this place, and its cast of characters. He appreciated people for who they were and passed no judgments. Shortcomings and personality disorders simply created intriguing plot twists in the storyline unfolding before him. He had an outsider's perspective to what was happening here, and that enabled him to see things differently.
He brought pride to living here, illustrated that business was one of the best sports ever created, and saw daily life as an art form. He tackled problems with such a spirited personality and acerbic wit that he inadvertently gave comfort to those around him. Having him in the room created the effect that everything was going to be alright.
To him, newspapering was about being the soul and conscience of a community, and he was a newspaperman, through and through.
-Jaci Clement
The Fair Media Council extends our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of John Kominicki, his colleagues at Long Island Business News, Innovate Long Island, which he founded, and the Long Island Press, where he recently became the publisher.

The United States had some victories in the War of 1812, but they were doing badly. The Brits occupied Detroit and were putting the squeeze to the Old Northwest territory. Washington was burned and the government had fled into hiding. The British were starting a campaign in the Gulf of Mexico to put a pincer move on the country that would have controlled commerce and supplies into the United States. It was very similar to what the Union would accomplish during the Civil War by cutting off the Confederacy from the Mississippi and blockading the coast.
Then things started to look up, as the Americans had a few victories where they repulsed the British around some of the important port cities. Fort McHenry's defense prevented the British fleet from entering Baltimore, while at the same time a similar action from Fort Bowyer prevented the British from taking Mobile, Alabama territory. This forced the British to focus on New Orleans.
Fort McHenry
You can read about the battle from many other sources, but it was a total one-sided victory for the United States in numbers that was totally unexpected by both sides. As a side note, I will mention that the Brits had 500-600 Seminole and Miccosukee warriors with them, but didn't deploy them at battle.
Some people say that the battle of New Orleans was unnecessary because the Treaty of Ghent was signed two weeks earlier. But the treaty was not in effect until the U.S. Senate and the British Parliament ratified it. If the British has won New Orleans, there is a good chance that the U.S. Senate might not have ratified the treaty, nor the British, who would have held the Mississippi and been able to demand their terms from a superior hold on the continent.
Since the British burned Washington, it was up to the military commanders who were on their own. They had to take charge and defeat the British in their theater of operations with little or no support from elsewhere. The world's best army was coming straight at them while they had to forage for supplies.
This is where Andrew Jackson entered the war against the British and reached what some considered his finest hour. Maybe you don't like him because of his presidency, the Indian Removal Act, his crooked land deals, his spoils system and monetary policy that led to the Panic of 1837. Or his war against the Creeks that wiped out whole Creek towns and killed more Indians in one day than anyone else in U.S. history. And then the Treaty of Fort Jackson imposed on the Creeks that punished his allies more than the Red Sticks. I am not justifying that, and we can talk about those at another time.
There are many things in Jackson's life that you can hate, but New Orleans was his finest hour. He was the right man in the right place and right time. And if it weren't for him, the country would not have survived the War of 1812. If there was any American triumph during the War, Jackson did it and emerged the biggest military hero since George Washington until the Civil War.
When people think of great presidents from Washington to Lincoln, it is Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln. You may hate Jackson, but there is no denying his accomplishments. From the many books I have read about Jackson and the War of 1812, he is the most complex character in American history. If you have not read any books on Jackson, I encourage you to do so, and understand this man who was like a raging hurricane to accomplish what he wanted.
If Jackson had lost the battle, you would have never heard from him again. The country would have been broken up and probably become occupied by the Crown Forces. We probably would have eventually gained our freedom again, but would remain as part of the commonwealth. Our status as a country would be the same as Canada, or maybe Australia.
And so, Mexico would be twice as large a country as it is today, and include Texas, California, and everything in between. Florida would remain a Spanish colony, or probably a corrupt banana republic country like Columbia. And in the next century, we would probably not be strong enough to stop Hitler in Europe, or the Japanese in the Pacific. Think of what the world would be like if there were no strong America. Would you today be saying the pledge of allegiance, or paying your respects to the King & Queen? Or would you be speaking Spanish or French? How different would the world be today if we had lost the Battle of New Orleans?

BRUSSELS, Sept 17 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators have set an Oct. 19 deadline for their ruling on Walt Disney's $71.3 billion bid for Twenty-First Century Fox Inc's entertainment assets, the European Commission said on Monday.
Disney sought EU approval for the deal on Sept. 14, according to a filing on the EU competition website. It can either clear the deal with or without concessions or open a four-month long investigation if it has serious concerns.
The U.S. Justice Department gave the green light to the deal in June on condition Disney sells Fox's 22 regional sports networks.
Acquisition of Fox's assets would broaden Disney's unrivaled portfolio of some of the world's most popular characters, uniting Mickey Mouse, Luke Skywalker and Marvel superheroes with Fox's X-Men, "Avatar" and "The Simpsons" franchises.
Disney owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel Studios and "Star Wars" producer Lucasfilm, plus an array of theme parks. The Fox assets being acquired include a cable group with FX Networks, National Geographic and 300-plus international channels, plus Fox's stake in Hulu.

I always hear the Abyssinians mentioned as if they are not Arabs. What surprises me is the fact that there is no reason for them to be seen as anything other than Arabs. What I will show in this article is that the Abyssinians are pure Arabs originally from the southern part of Yemen.
The very name Abyssinia comes from the name of a Yemeni Arab tribe called Habshat. This Arab tribe migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to Abyssinia many centuries before the birth of Christ (AS) and settled there and gave the country its name.
Amin Tawfiq Al-Tayyibi – a Palestinian university professor at Oxford says:
"The land that is now known as Ethiopia was known to the Arabs in pre-Islamic times only as Al-Habasha and from this Arabic word for the name of the area, the Europeans got their name for the area – Abyssinia. The Arabic name Al-Habasha comes from the tribe Habshat that entered the area from Yemen (Mahra Hadramout or Tihama Yemen) in the millennium before the birth of Christ (AS) . They settled in the Eritrean highlands and the area of Tigrai – the northern hills of Abyssinia. Aksum, which was one of their kingdoms, became well-know the first century after the birth of Christ (AS). "
The British historian A. Paul says in his book The History of the Beja Tribes of the Eastern Sudan:
"The Sabeans, who were the main power in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, crossed the Red Sea in search of trade and they occupied the Dahlak Archipelago. From there they penetrated deeply into the interior and settled in the land of Tigrai, which is found in what is called Eritrea and Ethiopia today. This happened long before the coming of Christ (AS) – perhaps in 1000 B.C. or 600 B.C."
Aksumite king
Doctor Jawad Ali says in his book Details About the History of the Arabs Before Islam:
"The relations between the Arabs and the Abyssinians were old, well-known relations which go back to times before Christ (AS). There were strong contacts and exchanges of citizens between the coastal towns of the Arabian Peninsula and the facing coastal towns of Africa because the Arabs of the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula migrated to the African coast and formed communities there. Also Africans migrated to the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula and ruled it time and time again. The last time that they ruled the area was a short time before the Islamic period. Some researchers believe that the origin of the Abyssinians (AlHabash) is from the western part of Yemen from the foot of the mountains. There is a mountain in Yemen called Mount 'Hubaish' . Perhaps there is a connection between the name of this mountain and the Habash (Abyssinians) who emigrated to Africa and gave their name to the land that adopted their name – Habshat or Al-Habasha. They also say that Ge'ez or Ge'ezan, as they are also called, are Cesani who Pliiny (23–79 AD) says are from an area near Aden. They are of southern Arab origin and they migrated to Abyssinia and established a kingdom there. The Abyssinian language – called Ge'ez or the language of the Ge'ez – was named after them."
Original Areas of Semitic Languages
Sabean Script
Thamudi Script
Ge'ez Script
Sabean Script Next to Ge'ez Script
The Wikipedia says:
"The Sabaean (or Sabaic) language was an Old South Arabian language spoken in Yemen from c. 1000 BC to the 6th century AD, by the Sabaeans; it was used as a written language by some other peoples (sha`bs) of Ancient Yemen, including the Hashidites, Sirwahites, Humlanites, Ghaymanites, Himyarites, Radmanites etc.[1] It was written in the South Arabian alphabet.
The South Arabic alphabet used in Eritrea, Ethiopia and Yemen beginning in the 8th century BCE (all three locations) later evolved into the Ge'ez alphabet. Ge'ez language is no longer thought, as previously assumed, to be an offshoot of Sabaean or Old South Arabian,[2] and there is linguistic evidence of Semitic languages being spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia since at least 2000 BC."
Doctor Ja'afar Abdu Salih Al-Dhafari – Dean of the first university of Yemen says:
The Qudaa'a tribes set out – in their first emigration – from the hills of Habshat and Mount Habash and Mount Mahrat which form the highlands that were known as the hills of Habshat found in the land of Mahra. From there their clans spread to Mukha and Mouzi' along the Red Sea. They set up their tents in that part of the southern Arabian Peninsula, but a part of them that settled in Tihama remained there for a while. Then they crossed the Red Sea – departing from Mouzi' or a coastal town nearby – and they settle on the western bank of the Red Sea ("Africa")."
The Axumite kings used to have the title:
"King of the Ge'ez Ramhaz Zubaiman, King of Saba and Dhu Raidan and Hadramout and Its Nomads in Najaad and Tihama".

Mata Daya Kaur
Mata Daya ji is described as a lady of gentle disposition, who was charitable and religious. She gave birth to a son that was given the name Lahina (later to become Guru Angad) on March 31, 1504, at Matte di Saran near Mukstar in the district of Ferozpur. Daya Kaur's maiden name was Ramo. She was married to Ferumal, a well-to-do trader, shopkeeper who was the village purohit. The family was very pious and worshipped a female deity (some sources say it was Chandi, but Dr Gopal Singh, in his History of The Sikh People, says it was Durga). Which deity, matters little in the telling of this event.
Every year her husband Ferumal would make a pilgrimage to the ancient shrine of Jawala Mukti (Jawala Bhagwati - the Goddess of fire) in the Shivalik hills. He took his son with him, and there they would tie bells to their ankles and dance in homage to the goddess.
After their village was sacked during Babar's invasion, the family moved to the village of Khadur, which today in the district of Amritsar. After the death of his father Ferumal, Lahina continued to lead the annual pilgrimage from his village (on the bright fortnight of Savan (July-August), to pay homage to the Goddess of fire. The family had a well respected friend by the name of Mai Bhirai, who was like a sister to Ferumal. A follower of Guru Nanak, she is said to have arranged the marriage of Lahina to Bibi Khivi.
One would expect women to have played a significant role in determining the image of the Sikh religion, especially the wives of the Gurus who created the foundation of many Sikh traditions. They were instrumental in building a firm foundation that nurtured the Sikh religion and the Sikhs in such troubling times, while the Gurus primarily did the teaching, the women looked after the mundane details of every-day life.
They managed the households and the kitchens. Without them, it would have been impossible to demonstrate, in any substantial way, that the doctrines of equality, hard work and fair play were at all attainable. The primary sources of Sikh history have ignored this important aspect of the basic teaching of the ten Gurus. Yet, however little is available there is enough to substantiate that the women of Sikhism played as important a role in The organisation and establishment of tradition as any man.
Undoubtely as Mata Tripta ji had an affect on Guru Nanak Dev's mind and in a similar fashion Mata Daya Kaur raised Bhai Lahina ji; Guru Angad Dev.

Russian arrested at Bali's airport with nearly 400 grams of hash pills in stomach
A Russian man was arrested after landing at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport with 389.14 grams of cannabis capsules, aka hash pills in his stomach.
Identified by initials AT, the 29-year-old had already been on Ngurah Rai Customs' radar, so upon arrival, the Russian was flagged to undergo an x-ray scan.
AT touched down in Bali on Jan. 15, but police didn't publicly disclose the Russian's case until Friday.
From the x-ray, it was apparent he had something in his stomach, so airport Customs fed him laxatives to release the 63 plastic-wrapped capsules out the other end.
Customs painted a very unambiguous picture of what the "expulsion" looked like after it came out.
"After we opened the plastic, the contents were shaped like brownish black dodol (chewy Indonesian coconut candy), which we later determined was hashish," said Bali Customs and Excise director, M Syarif Hidayat, as quoted by Republika.
The total weight of the capsules was 389.14 grams, making the Russian subject to charges carrying a minimum imprisonment of five years and maximum term of 15 years and a fine ranging from IDR1 billion (US$73,000) to IDR10 billion (US$730,000).
The hash pills were purchased from Shanghai, according to Bali Police Narcotics Investigation Unit Supt. Sudjarwoko.
Literally caught in the act, Sudjarwoko says AT has already confessed to smuggling the drugs.

This paper addresses the problem of describing automorphisms of semigroups of transformations. In [2] we were involved in characterizing all automorphisms of CroisotTeissier semigroups. The semigroups of transformations that belong to this large family generally consist of many-to-one transformations whose restrictions to range sets are oneto- one. Here we consider enlargements of Croisot-Teissier semigroups whose elements, restricted to range-sets, are no longer one-to-one. We show that such semigroups contain a maximal Croisot-Teissier semigroup, which in turn is used to present a complete description of automorphisms of these semigroups. Moreover we describe the Green's relations on these enlargements of Croisot-Teissier semigroups, and show that they are in fact simple semigroups, whose regular elements form a bisimple subsemigroup. We start by recalling the definition of Croisot-Teissier semigroups.
