Our elected officials have passed laws implementing a de facto socialist government here in America. Many Americans saw clearly what was happening and have said, "No" to a socialist nation, electing Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States with great hopes he will reverse the current damage caused by the Obama administration. Many of those Americans are patriots that post on social media.
In September of 2016, we reported that the control of the internet would be handed over to the United Nations. Although President Obama assured the American people that the United Nations would never take control of the internet, at midnight on Sept. 30th 2016, the U.S. gave up stewardship and U.N. control is the likely result. The U.N will have the power to assess global internet fees and taxation power.
"Facebook, Myspace, … Google, might not have been started if you had not had a level playing field for whoever has got the best idea. And I want to maintain that basic principle in how the Internet functions. So as president I'm going to make sure that is the principle that my FCC commissioners are applying as we move forward." – Candidate Barack Obama in 2007
In 1848, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote a book outlining a political ideology titled, "The Communist Manifesto," in which Marx described ten steps that would be necessary to be taken to destroy a free enterprise society.
On that list is what is referred to as the sixth plank, 'centralize the means of communications and transportation into the hands of the state.'
As the left are feeling the sting of Donald Trump's historic win, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made some chilling remarks about her views on the need for the government to control the internet. She spoke at a joint press conference with outgoing president Barack Obama on his farewell tour in Germany, and slammed 'anti-islamisation' protestors, who she accused of hijacking the German spirit for liberty.
Via Breitbart ,German Chancellor Merkel, who is presently deciding whether to run for a historic fourth term on the strength of her pro-migrant policies which have seen her lauded with praise by President Obama, moved to address populism in her joint address.
Calling the surge of interest in right-wing politics a "wave" that "engulfs us," Ms. Merkel noted the sentiment "seems to come from the United States," but in an oblique reference to President-Elect Donald Trump said it was an issue she was dealing with in Europe, too. She said:
"Look at the European parliament. There are a lot of people who are looking for simplistic solutions and are preaching simplistic solutions which are very unfriendly policies. We have them here in Europe, too, we have them in Germany too."
Apparently blaming this rising populism — politics that are popular with voters — on the internet, the German chancellor implied the internet would have to be subject to restrictive censorship laws as were enacted by many European nations to stem the disruptive effect of the printing press. She said:
"Digitisation is a disruptive technological force that brings about deep-seated change and transformation in society. Look at the history of the printing press, when this was invented what kind of consequences it had. Or industrialization, what consequences that had.
"Very often, it led to enormous transformational processes within individual societies and it took a while until societies learned to find the right kinds of policies to contain this, to manage and steer this. We live in a period of profound transformation."
The chancellor also took time to speak out against the populists within her own country, blaming the exporting of manufacturing jobs abroad for discontent about mass migration. Picking up on the slogan for anti-mass migration and counter-Islamisation movement PEGIDA 'Wir Sind Das Volk' — 'We Are The People' — the chancellor said:
"The most important and noble task of politicians these days is to see that each and every person can find his place. But those who purportedly belong to certain groups say 'we are the people, and not others'."
The saying has been inherited by PEGIDA from the counter-Communist rule movements in East Germany in the 1980's. Merkel, a former member of an East German Communist group, said those words as a protest against overbearing government power and had brought joy to her then but not today. She said:
"At the time when we had [this saying] in the GDR [East Germany] when the people stood in the streets and said 'we are the people' it filled me with great joy, but the fact these people have hijacked it does not fill me with joy."
Ms. Merkel's comments on web censorship may be welcomed by many in the traditional mainstream media, whose grip on news narratives has been weakened by digital news services like Breitbart.
This week Germany's Zeit newspaper published a piece calling for controls to prevent "a German Donald Trump", while Britain's Independent former newspaper website published a list of "fake" news sites which they claimed may have "swayed votes towards Donald Trump". One of those listed was Breitbart News.

In just a couple of pushes, Eden Grace enters her new world, and I was there to witness her take her first breath of air. I wonder what emotions were going through God's mind as He watched His children take their first breath of air. Was He mesmerized by the beauty of His new creation? I don't know, but I know I was in awe of human life the moment Eden was born. Life, as I new it, just got better, interesting and more challenging.
I don't yet feel like a dad. I don't know exactly how or what I feel. But I am certain of my responsibility. I don't doubt the necessity for God's wisdom to guide me in this new role. I will indeed be raising another child of God. I will help write and develop a new character in God's story. All of this is quite a profound concept.
The name Eden Grace reflects our new journey. Eden, which means delight or pleasure (the Hebrew connotation is actually sensuous), is the name of the garden in Genesis. To me, it conveys a new beginning, the very first fruits of God's creation. I think it really fits our first newborn. The middle name, Grace, is a concept that Paul in his epistles has written often about. To me, grace is an expression of God's unconditional love, whereby He forgives our darkest pasts and deeds, regardless of the price we should pay for them. God owes us nothing. Yet He grants us His grace as a promise. The story of the garden of Eden is not complete without this concept of grace. And since grace means so much to Sarah and I, we gave it to Eden. Eden Grace.
We are blessed. I am truly blessed to have now two girls in my life that mean the world to me.
We have the doors open for anyone who wishes to come visit us. Since we have a kid, we are now confined by the walls of our house, so we're sure to be here anytime. Just give us a call if you want to make sure we're here. Otherwise, just drop by.

Happy Awkward Sunday
He scoffed. Hardly, Al. Why would things be awkward?
I thought of a dozen reasons and shared none.
Colin and I, we're not together together. He's not my boyfriend. I'm not his girlfriend. We're friends and we talk every single day and neither of us would deny the obvious-like-a-flashing-neon-light tension between us. It's there on the phone. It's there in the emails we exchange during the workday. It's there in person, spitting in our faces and pinching the back of our arms.
We don't do anything about the tension. We've never discussed; we haven't defined. We pretend it isn't happening. We feign a platonic friendship and convince absolutely no one. Especially ourselves.
More days than not, we won't even kiss. Why would we? Friends don't kiss; friends are what we pretend to be.
There are nights when our flimsy tent of denial topples and I end up in his room. Hands and lips everywhere, the temporary state of the situation hangs over us. We are only together when the stars align. We can only last until the sun rises on a day that I know as Awkward Sunday. Aptly named, because it truly is.
5 comments:
I'm going to butt in my opinion here. This is what I think about this...
Either let your concerns out in the open or let go of this guy. Honestly Aly, you've been worried sick about this thing between Collin and you for quite some time.
I believe that you want more out of a relationship with a guy than what you are getting now, especially for a first relationship. Friends with benefits (I hope that is not too harsh) just doesn't seem like the thing you want, and I believe that kind of play between the two of you can only lead to more worry or a big blow up. Both of you are not on the same field of thought about this thing between the both of you and neither is aware of how the other feels.
It's so much better to communicate with your "partner", although I know he isn't technically that, but maybe if him and you talked things out you will feel this worry lift from your shoulders, even if things don't go the way you would like them to.
That's what I think girl. I know you don't want to scare him off with your concerns and that you like him a lot and kissing him is fun...but remember to protect yourself and stand up for yourself (especially when you are feeling down about the situation). Don't place the blame on yourself for having these worries (it is better to have them than not to have them); he should be smart enough to get the hint already! Maybe he will get the hint from your hesitation yesterday, or it will bolster you to say more =)
Ok, that's it for blabbing. Sorry if I was too much.
Lots of hugs

I thought what you had was mutual, but after that I wonder if he's in the same spot you are. Either way I agree with Darcy. Sums it up.

Darcy (and Stacy, too!),
Thanks. Honestly. I'm so blinded by my nearness to the situation that it really helps to see the situation through your eyes.
Things certainly have to change. And I don't want to have to initiate it, but I will. It's time. You're right.
- Plantation said...
Way behind...reading from the bottom up. IMHO, marriage is work. You've got lots to compromise and you have lots at stake. Relationships, dating, all the non-married stuff shouldn't be about work. They should be free and easy, fun. Sure you'll have bumps but if you're already working *this* hard, I think you know where it's headed. I've said it before sweetie, this is the first of many. Guys will be lining up at your door because you are a really special person. You've learned to open up out here in blogland, now go open up out there in relationship land. Luv, PT

[Resolved] Reliance Capital Limited - Car Loan — Non release of Car RC and Insurance Policy
NNaveen Kumar
Dear Sir
I have taken a loan of Rs. 100000/- (One lakh only) from Reliance Capital Ltd on Nov 09, 2009 for purchasing a used car. The loan was disbursed on Nov 09, 2009 by cheque no. 25381. An amount of Rs. 3761/- was deducted on account of various miscellaneous charges. Howvere, no break-up of the amount was given to me. The vehicle in question was already under hypothecation with Reliance Capital Ltd. Hence, the cheque was issued in favour of Reliance Capital Ltd for the full and final settlement of loan by previous owner.
I handed over the ORIGINAL REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE and ORIGINAL INSURANCE POLICY of the vehicle in question to RCL along with duly signed Form 28, 29 and 30 and other documents on Nov 09, 2009 itself for completion of all the formalities of ownership transfer for which RCL has taken money from me.
However, despite numerous requests, both telephonic and written, there is no answer from Reliance Capital Limited. Reliance Capital Limited is neither giving back the Original RC and Original Insurance Policy (which I have taken from previous owner and submitted to RCL for transfer of ownership) nor they are taking any action for the transfer of ownership of the vehicle. As a result i cannot us ethe vehicle despite the fact that I have made all the payments. Even the first EMI has been deducted from my account. I had written to even Cutomer Care, VP and CEO of Reliance Capital Limited to sort out the things, but it is of no use.
Can I claim damages from Reliance Capital Limited on account of breach of trust and mental harassment? If yes, what is the procedure? Please advise me in this regard.
With regards
Naveen Kumar
Complaint marked as Resolved Aug 14, 2020

LIVERPOOL, England (AP)Sheffield United managed just one shot on target but came away with a 2-0 victory at Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.
Substitute Lys Mousset's 79th-minute goal came from the Blades' only shot on goal at Goodison Park, with Yerry Mina's own-goal putting the visitors ahead just before halftime.
Sheffield United, back in the top flight for the first time since relegation in 2007, is unbeaten away from home since mid-January and this dogged performance demonstrated why that is the case.
Organized, disciplined and committed to a game plan, United was almost everything the hosts weren't.
Marco Silva's team was previously unbeaten at home since February but, having failed to press home its first-half advantage, Everton bordered on the chaotic in a hastily thrown-together formation as it tried to salvage something after last week's 3-1 loss at Bournemouth.
Everton's domination of possession led to little in the way of chances, with the final pass often wayward or intercepted. For seasoned fans at Goodison Park, what came in the 40th minute was all too familiar.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford came to claim Oliver Norwood's inswinging corner, United's first of the match, and although there was shoulder-to-shoulder contact with Callum Robinson, there was not enough – VAR ultimately decided – to warrant a foul.
The ball going in off Mina's shoulder merely added to Everton's embarrassment.
It was 2-0 in the 79th, with John Lundstram rolling a pass down the channel and Mousset putting a shot into the corner.
Everton has seven points from six games, with champion Manchester City visiting next week. Sheffield United has eight points.

Ernest Robinson, an assistant high school basketball coach, was escorting two of his female team members from the building one evening when they were approached by two teenage boys. One of the teenagers wielded a gun. The gunman ordered the girls to leave as the other teen yanked at the chain Robinson wore around his neck. Robinson quickly pulled out his concealed pistol and fired at both assailants, killing one and wounding the other. The surviving perpetrator is now being charged with one count of armed robbery and one count of assault with intent to rob while armed. (The Detroit News, Detroit, MI, 2/15/13)
Three masked men entered Plaza Jewelers one afternoon, one carrying a gun while the other two wielded hammers. Store owner Alfonso Angela spotted the men through the store window and grabbed the gun he kept hidden behind the counter. The two men with hammers, one carrying a bag, were approaching the glass cases of jewelry when Angela cocked the hammer of his gun. Within seconds, the men were making a hasty exit. Police were called and two male suspects were later taken into custody. (San Jose Mercury News, Fair Oaks, CA, 1/21/13)

Western Digital announces My Passport Wireless Pro
Western Digital has announced its new My Passport Wireless Pro hard drive, a Wi-Fi enabled portable storage device designed for photographers and videographers who want to backup, access, and edit photos or video in the field without using a computer. In addition to Wi-Fi, the drive includes an integrated SD card slot and a USB port that can be used to connect external devices, such as a CFast or XQD card reader. It can also be plugged directly into a computer for standard operation.
This is the second generation of Western Digital's My Passport Wireless series. The company told us that they received a lot of feedback from photographers following theproduct's initial release in 2014, and that much of that feedback has been incorporated into the new Pro edition. The Pro version includes a faster SD card slot with transfer rates up to 75MB/s, up from 10MB/s, as well as upgraded 802.11ac Wi-Fi with speeds up to 20MB/s, improved from 9MB/s. It also features a larger 6400mAh battery, compared to 3400mAh on the original model, which WD says can last up to 11.5 hours in the field, including 6 to 8 hours of operation under 'hard use.' Unfortunately, the USB port for connecting external devices appears to be of the USB 2.0 variety.
WD has also made improvements to the product's companion My Cloud app for iPad. The company told us that while photographers loved the ability to view images stored on the drive from an iPad, they didn't want to be restricted to using a proprietary app. The updated app makes it possible to export photos to the camera roll for easy sharing or editing with other iOS apps. It also integrates with Adobe's Creative Cloud, facilitating transfer of photos directly to a user's Creative Cloud account.
Finally, WD told us that about 50% of customers using the original product used it primarily as a device to stream content. To better support these users the company has added a PLEX media server to the device.
We recently received a demo unit from Western Digital and look forward to taking it for a spin (pun intended). We look forward to letting you know how it works.
The My Passport Wireless Pro comes in two capacities: a 2TB model which lists for $229.99, and a 3TB model which lists for $249.99. The company also announced a new My Cloud Pro Series NAS device, which you can read about in the press release below.
My Passport Wireless Pro and My Cloud Pro Together
Provide Fast, Reliable Back-up and Transfer While on a Remote Shoot or in the Studio
IRVINE, Calif. – June 21, 2016 – Western Digital Corporation ("Western Digital") (NASDAQ: WDC), a global storage technology and solutions leader, today introduced the WD Pro Series: My Passport® Wireless Pro Wi-Fi® mobile storage and My Cloud® Pro Series network attached storage (NAS). Designed specifically for the creative community, the WD Pro Series enables seamless transfer of content between devices, with classic WD reliability and speed, regardless of whether users are on a remote shoot, in the studio or editing at home. The products use the My Cloud mobile app – the new version of the app will be launched with the My Passport Wireless Pro and My Cloud Pro Series and be compatible with the Adobe® Creative Cloud®. In addition, both the My Passport Wireless Pro and My Cloud Pro Series devices are also compatible with the Plex™ Media Server and My Cloud OS 3 software for easy editing, streaming and sharing of content.
"Portability, reliability, capacity, speed and interoperability are crucial for creative professionals, whose very livelihoods rely on the strength of the technology they use to store their life's work," said Sven Rathjen, vice president of marketing for content solutions at WD. "We created the WD Pro Series as a comprehensive, feature-rich storage solution designed to fit seamlessly into their workflow, regardless of where the work actually happens, so storage, transfer, back-up, editing and even streaming options are readily available."
My Passport Wireless Pro
My Passport Wireless Pro Wi-Fi mobile storage lets creative professionals and enthusiasts leave the laptop behind when on a shoot. Using the direct Wi-Fi connection, creators can automatically backup files from compatible cameras, as well as save, edit and transfer work seamlessly from up to eight other devices connected to the drive. Tethered connections are also available for faster transfers and include a built-in SD card reader as well as a USB 3.0 port.
Available in capacities up to 3TB, the My Passport Wireless Pro device also features up to 10 hours of battery life* and a built-in battery pack that can even be used to charge phones and other devices like digital or video cameras.
To ensure creative professionals can continue to work while in the field, My Passport Wireless Pro devices include compatibility with Adobe's Creative Cloud for mobile photo and video editing, as well as compatibility with Plex Media Server, which is capable of playing up to four streams of content while on-the-go.
My Cloud Pro Series network attached storage
When the shoot is over and it's time for editing or studio work, the My Cloud Pro Series NAS device takes the reins seamlessly. Offering up to 32TB of storage, the My Cloud Pro Series NAS are optimized to import from cameras/memory card readers and other USB storage with a simple one touch backup button. Simply connect your cameras and compatible USB storage devices, press a button, and your new files are easily backed up/imported.
In addition to giving creative professionals and enthusiasts a reliable place to store their files, this fast, high capacity drive features a hardware accelerated video processor. Its powerful transcoding capabilities mean the My Cloud Pro Series NAS can ingest, edit, store and stream content to and from popular formats, including 4K video. These capabilities compliment a robust, integrated application suite, which includes compatibility with Plex Media Server for storing and optimizing media libraries and compatibility with Adobe's Creative Cloud for editing and finalizing them.
The My Cloud Pro Series NAS gives the creative community significantly more control while they are away from their workstation, using WD's My Cloud app and MyCloud.com remote access, and despite its professional caliber, is still easy to set up and use.
Pricing and Availability
My Passport Wireless Pro Wi-Fi mobile storage is available today in the WD store at wdstore.com and at select retailers, including Amazon.com and distributors. My Passport Wireless Pro storage has a Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) ranging from $229.99 up to $249.99 depending on capacity.

E is for Effort
Ideas like this have caused many school districts to trend away from traditional grading systems and instead give all children good grades as long as they demonstrate effort.
I think it's absurd.
First, building my child's self-esteem is MY JOB as a mother. A teacher's job, in my opinion, is to instruct my child in academics (i.e. math, reading, writing, physical education, and science) and expose my child to subjects she may elect to specialize in (e. g. art, music, sports, etc.). Report cards are one way teachers can communicate with me how well my child is demonstrating a knowledge of the concepts being taught.
If my child is attaching self-esteem to his grades, regardless of whether he's getting As or Fs, then I have failed, not the teacher.
But if the report card is full of the equivalents of Es (as in my child is demonstrating effort), that tells me NOTHING about what she has actually learned! How can I help my child work on her timetables, for example, if the note on the report card says: "Demonstrates a lot of effort and is approaching grade level." This sends the message that my child's doing fine, when really what should probably happen is some extra math practice at home.
When my child enters the workforce, he will find that the most skilled applicants get the jobs. And if they are not competent enough to do the job, then they are let go. This should not be a blow to his self-esteem, but an encouragement to find the job best suited to his skills. Or at least gain the skills necessary to get and keep the job.
That's why I think we should throw out the Es and go back to a more traditional grading system. Those who can demonstrate that they know all the concepts get the A, and those who can't demonstrate at least a 50% understanding get the F.
I know one of the arguments against this post is that for many children, the teacher is the only trusted parent figure in their lives. Well, that's for tomorrow's post.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. Most teachers I've talked to seem to think I'm in the minority on this one.
I think morality and ethics should be present in both places - no need to labour the point, just when the situation arises. You can't withdraw it from the classroom because situations arise there where fairness and kindness and wmpathy have to be exercised and have to be explained, The right thing to do must be mentioned. But I do agree, home is where it should start. But what if a child doesn't get this grounding? That will be the case in many homes. You can't force or legislate for absence of morality, love, empathy and kindness in the home, and if a child doesn't find it there, then surely their only hope is school? All children deserve the chance to grow in every part of their personality. I think good teachers will do this automatically without the need for actual 'lessons'. Books, and poetry can help. ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com

I assume you've read my F is for Family Values post. I, too, bemoan the fact that there are so many children who do not have good homes to come from and go to. However, when that results in a lack of morality, in my opinion it reflects a failure in the home rather than the classroom.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Obligatory ghusls include: 1.ritual bath after sexual intercourse or seminal discharge (ghusl al-Janaba), 2.ritual bath of a corpse (ghusl al-Mayyit), 3.ritual bath after touching a corpse (ghusl Mass al-Mayyit), and three types of ghusls for women.
There are many supererogatory ghusls, such as Friday ghusl, ghusl of Ziyarah (ritual bath before visiting a sacred place), and ghusls for the three Islamic holidays: Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Eid al-Ghadir.
All kinds of ghusls can be performed in two ways: sequential (al-Tartibi) and immersion (al-Irtimasi). In the case of sequential ghusl, it is recommended that no more than three liters of water should be used. One can perform prayers with ghusl al-Janaba and so he or she does not need to perform wudu, but as to other sorts of ghusl, there is no agreement among scholars of fiqh as to whether they suffice for prayers and other acts that require wudu.
The word "ghusl" means bath or washing. Terminologically, it refers to a ritual bath of the whole body from the head to the feet in accordance with the qualifications made by the divine legislator. It should be done with the intention of performing a divine command. It is not necessary to run water over the body with one's hand or anything else. It would suffice if water reaches the body in whatever way. The laws of ghusl are elaborated in the section of "Tahara" (cleanliness, or purity) in Manual of Islamic Laws which are published by Shiite Marja's.
The Qur'an, 5:6 and 4:43, points to some rulings of ghusl, and there are over 2400 hadiths in this regard.
One effect of ghusl is the purity of the spirit and its preparation for worships and more intimacy with God. Some hadiths strongly recommend that one should not sleep while he or she is in the state of janaba (impurity as a result of sexual intercourse or seminal discharge).
Obligatory ghusls
According to Shiite fiqh, there are six types of obligatory ghusls:
- Three specific ghusls for women: ghusl al-Hayd (Purification from the impurity caused by menstruation), ghusl al-Nifas (Purification from the impurity caused by post-natal bleeding), ghusl al-Istihada (Purification from the impurity caused by irregular bleeding)
Sometimes ghusl might be obligatory by vow (Nadhr) or oath; for example, if one vows to always perform the ghusl for a Ziyarah, then it will be obligatory for him/her.
According to most scholars of fiqh, all obligatory ghusls are not obligatory in themselves; rather they are just obligatory in order to do something else that requires purity, such as daily prayers.
Supererogatory ghusls
There are many sorts of supererogatory (mustahab) ghusls. Some scholars have mentioned as many as one hundred such ghusls. Here are the most important supererogatory ghusls:
- Ghusl of Ziyarah
- Ghusl in the nights of the Ramadan month
- Ghusl on special days, such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Eid al-Ghadir.
How to perform a ghusl
There are two ways to perform a ghusl: sequential (al-Tartibi) and immersion (al-Irtimasi).
Sequential ghusl
In a sequential ghusl, one should first wash his or her head and neck, then the right side of their body, and then the left side thereof. It is claimed that there is consensus among the scholars of fiqh over such a sequence. Some people take it optional to wash the left side first or the right one.
The order between parts of the body is a factual condition (that is, it is not based on one's attention or knowledge), thus if one performs the ghusl with any other order, then their ghusl will be unacceptable, even if one does so out of ignorance or oversight.
According to most Marja's, no particular order or sequence is obligatory within each part, such as washing from top to down. Neither is it obligatory to perform each following part immediately after the previous one; intervals are allowed even if the previous part has turned dry.
It is supererogatory that the amount of water used for such a ghusl be no more than three liters. Some people are so obsessed with cleanliness that they use too much water for their ghusl. In order to rid of such an obsession, one needs to ignore the obsession and perform the ghusl as ordinary people do.
Immersional ghusl
An immersional ghusl is one in which the person suddenly immerses their body into water. In this kind of ghusl, it is obligatory that one's whole body be under water all at once.
According to some scholars of fiqh, if one intends the act of ghusl when the whole body is not under water, his or her ghusl will not be acceptable.
Obligatory components of a ghusl
There are obligatory components on which the acceptability of a ghusl is dependent:
- Intention of worshiping or obeying God by performing the ghusl. Without such an intention, the ghusl will not be acceptable.
- The continuity of the intention throughout the ghusl.
- Washing all parts of body in the ordinary sense of the term. According to some scholars, one should wash and run water over his or her skin with their hand or something else.
- It is not obligatory to wash internal parts, such as the internal parts of the eyes, nose, mouth, parts of the ear that cannot be seen, and beneath short nails.
- It is obligatory to wash those external parts of the body that can be seen but water does not usually permeate them (such as some external parts of ears or beneath the rings).
- The person should perform the ghusl on his or her own; so if somebody else washes one's body, it will not be acceptable as a ghusl.
- All parts of the body must be clean from the impurity (e.g., semen, blood) before starting the Ghusl.
- The water with which one performs the ghusl should be pure, clean, and legitimate water. Thus it is unacceptable to perform the ghusl with impure, unclean, or usurped water.
What nullifies a ghusl
According to Imam Khomeini and some other Marja's, If urination or emission of gas from the anus (what nullifies wudu) occur during or after the ghusl, then the ghusl should not be renewed, but in order to perform the prayer or other acts that require purity (Tahara), one has to have wudu. What nullifies wudu is different from that of ghusl. What nullifies a ghusl, are those for them one has to perform ghusl, such as: 1. Janaba 2. Menstruation bleeding 3. Post-natal bleeding 4. Istihada bleeding.
Some other Marja's state that If urination or emission of gas from the anus (what nullifies wudu) occur during the ghusl, then the ghusl should be renewed, and in order to perform the prayer or other acts that require purity (Tahara), one has to have wudu.
Does a ghusl obviates the need for wudu?
There is no disagreement among Shiite scholars of fiqh that ghusl al-Janaba obviates the need for wudu. Indeed, many of them take this to be a matter of consensus. Moreover, most scholars take it illegitimate to perform wudu when one has already performed ghusl al-Janaba, but al-Shaykh al-Tusi holds that it is supererogatory (Mustahab) to perform wudu in such a case. Scholars disagree, however, over whether other kinds of ghusl can obviate the need for wudu. According to the majority of scholars, they cannot. According to al-Sayyid al-Murtada, Ibn Junayd al-Iskafi, and Sayyid Muhsin al-Hakim, it is not improbable. The latter view has been more popular among contemporary scholars.
Different ghusls at once
If one has the obligation for different sorts of ghusl, then he or she can intend to perform all of them just by one instance of washing.
If one of these different ghusls is ghusl al-Janaba, then one needs only to intend ghusl al-Janaba, which would suffice for the rest.
If all or some of them are supererogatory (Mustahab), then according to the majority of scholars, one ghusl will suffice. However, there are scholars who oppose this view.

In the spirit of "getting out more" I accepted an invitation to visit the second annual Photoquai exhibition in Paris this week. I'm not one for spur of the moment travel but given the opportinuty to take a train to Paris and be shown around a photo exhibition of 50 photographers, I gladly accepted. I didn't know much about Photoquai before I left but I understood that the focus was on non-western photography. What I found, after a day of hurried viewings of the exhibitions, was a vibrant and brilliant display of refreshing work by photographers from all four corners of the globe.
Atul Loke's photographs displayed on the promenade along the Seine. "I lived in a Chawl in
Mumbai…two rooms, ten members of my family. I was born here, I grew up here. These are
images of my home, my family, my friends, neighbours and their children"
Photoquai works because of the commitment put into dispatching curators to regions across the globe in search of photographers who are successful in their own countries but, for one reason or another, have not been seen much in France. Yes, a number of works have been seen in this part of the world and some of the photographers are even based in London, New York or Paris itself. But by bringing together such a varied collection of photographers Photoquai puts on show the wealth and wonder of visual story telling practised beyond our view in such countries as Peru and Mongolia or South Africa and Afghanistan, to mention but a few.
The day of the preview was meticulously planned and made easy by our hosts. A quick visit, after our early morning arrival by train, to the Pavillon des Sessions, Museum of quai Branly, at the Louvre allowed us to see the "Portraits croisés" exhibition of ancient and mysterious artifacts in the permanent collection displayed alongside images from the museum's photographic archives. Associations between the hallowed ancient objects and the sepia-toned prints were often tentative at best and the curators Yves Le Fur and Christine Barthes explained that the intention was to "create a game" between object and image that was not obvious and descriptive but rather suggestive and emotional at times. Thus an Aztec stone carved statue could be illuminated by the presence next to it of a photograph of a woman from Australia in 1875.
William Lindt, Australia circa 1875 and 15th century Huaxteque scupture from Mexico
I found the game to be intruging and informative, a juxtaposition of people and ideas that created connections despite being separated by the distances of medium, country and date. The documentary images of such luminaries as Henri Cartier Bresson and Pierre Verger, an invaluable anthropological document in their own right, conspired in the context here to create mini-fictions in the mind of the viewer. The space between photograph and object is massive but one can fill it with recognitions of elegance, the beat of humanity and the imagination of a shared history.
Henri Cartier-Bresson, Mexican Women, 1934 and ancient figurines on display in the Pavillon des Sessions, Louve.
The question was raised about the value of a western photography as a prism through which to understand non-western society and religion. Perhaps I could see too much of the noble savage in the frames of 19th century explorers and photographers not to feel that the objects themselves overwhelmed the social meaning or cultural validity of the photographs. On one hand a two pictorial depiction of some other life and on the other a piece of life itself, albeit in a glass display case, carved and fashioned by the world view if its creator.
Next stop, witnessing a motorcycle accident along the way, was the Photoquai itself. A 100 metre promenade along the Seine at quai Branly had been transformed into an open-air exhibition of photography. 50 photographers, chosen by the likes of Reza Deghati and Pablo Bartholomew were chosen to show-case a story or paticular body of work from their country. The presentation was well achieved and the impact of the large format outdoor prints was very strong indeed. There is far too much to say about each photographer's images so i managed to interview a handful to share their thoughts with us directly.
You can see: Karen Mirzoyan – Armenia, Ilan Godfrey – South Africa, Julio Bittencourt – Brasil and Fardin Waezi – Afghanistan, talking about their work here.
The highlight of the day was the central outdoor exhibition. With such a wide range of geographical settings and differing social commentary depicted by photographers in their own countries, there was a sense that this exhibition spoke in many languages with personal perspectives on home and country. To fully realise their goal of assembling narratives from the far reaches of the globe, Photoquai had brought over the exhibiting photographers. So for the opening day the public, reviewers such as myself and photographers mingled on the promenade looking, discussing and sharing stories from home.
The third and final stop of our tour later that afternoon was the Iranian photography exhibition curated by Anahita Ghabaian Etehadieh inside the Branly Museum. Billed as 165 years of Iranian photography it was perhaps more ambitious that the space or selection of images would allow. I was drawn first to the early studio portrait series and then transported, via Kaveh Golestan's photographs made during the revolution, to a contemporary Iranian view of itself.

That evening we went to the opening event and I was glad to see the Paris photo scene in full swing. There is a growing schedule of festivals, openings and new exhibitions to attend these days however Photoquai as a biennial gathering was well attended and well received in this second outing. Conversation switched to the recent news of Grazia Neri, an Italian photo agency, and their impending liquidation after 43 years in business. The climate for photographers making real stories and extended projects is undoubtedly harsh and no one pretends to know what the future will hold for commercial photojournalists and their craft. But if there is one thing that helps inspire and instill a sense of optimism it is the feeling that someone is listening – that the people want to experience photography and the stories it can tell. At Photoquai we saw this and I was reminded that it helps to get out more often, because as they say… there is a whole world out there.

Last ditch effort to save unearthed Roman helmet for Cumbria and the UK
Last ditch effort to save unearthed Roman helmet for Cumbria and the UK
The campaign to keep the Crosby Garrett helmet has received a large donation, but more is needed
A campaign to save the extraordinary Crosby Garrett helmet, which was turned up by a metal detector in May this year in the Cumbrian hamlet, for the UK public is in a race against time to compete in the Christie's auction in which it will be sold.
Now, the Tullie House museum in Carlisle has received a significant boost as a businessman has pledged 50,000 to assist with the bid to add to the 30,000 raised so far from the public.
However the piece, one of three ever found in Britain, has been valued at 200,000-300,000, so further donations will be needed - especially as many think that listing is conservative.
As we reported, the 2,000-year-old bronze helmet includes a full face mask and an unusual Griffin crest on its peak. A cavalry parade helmet, it was not intended for military use and would have been worn for hippika gymnasia, (cavalry sports events). It is extremely intricate, well-preserved and rare.
Back in March 2010, the most valuable Anglo-Saxon treasure ever unearthed on UK soil, discovered by a metal detector, was successfully saved through a campaign to raise 3.3 million based around a 300,000 Art Fund grant and fronted by David Starkey.
However, whilst British law places constraints on the open sale of 'treasure' found in the ground, the laws do not affect the anonymous finder of the helmet, as it is primarily made from bronze and does not contain significant amounts of either silver or gold.
Christie's antique auction, which is 'headed' by the Roman helmet, will take place on October 7.

The leading ladies of Humshakals will be seen sporting bikinis in the upcoming film and here are the images
Earlier, when an actor donned a bikini onscreen, it used to be a big deal. However, these days bikini scenes are fitted in the films and on the actors for the sake of it, even when they are unnecessary. Anyways, the latest we came across was that Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta and Tamannaah will be seen in bikinis in their upcoming flick Humshakals.
While we don't know how important this scene was for the film, the filmmakers have released the images of these sexy ladies in bikinis way before the film's release. After all they say jo dikhta hain wohi bikta hain, so can't blame the filmmakers, can we. Let's take a look at this trio flaunting their hot bods and increasing the scorching heat in swimwear.
Bipasha Basu is seen in a drenched yellow bikini against the backdrop of a beach with her hair let down in loose messy curls. Over the bikini, Bips is wearing a fully tattered tee. However, this certainly isn't the Bong bombshell's bikini best. While her trim, toned legs look hot, we aren't quite a fan of this look.
Esha Gupta is seen in a hot pink bikini and a pink sarong. This lovely lady hits the bullseye with her seashore style. And among these three beauties, Esha is certainly our favourite in a bikini.
Tamannaah is seen in a pink bandeau bikini which she has teamed with shorts. What more, she is even wearing a cardigan over her bikini. Hmmm, all we'd like to say is, if you weren't comfortable flaunting your skin in a bikini, you shouldn't have worn it. She certainly looks the least sexiest with her disastrous bikini style…
Anyways, that's all for now. You pick your favourite BollywoodLifers! Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta or Tamannaah – Who has the sexiest bikini body?

Paul Cruickshank has left the Phillip Island circuit midway through the V8 Supercar round due to a family illness.
The team owner left the Victorian circuit before yesterday's qualifying session, headed for his Gold Coast home last night.
Replacing Cruickshank at the helm of his race team was three of Wilson Security Racing's influencial members – John McMellan (Wilson Security boss), Daniel Deighton (crew chief) and Leigh Geyer (chief engineer).
"Between Daniel, Leigh and myself, we're looking after the shop," McMellan told Speedcafe.
"Our debut yesterday was good. We had Fabian (Coulthard) in the top 10, but our second innings hasn't been quite as good …"
Coulthard has qualified 14th for this afternoon's race, while team-mate Michael Patrizi will start from 26th.

Although the ballpark staple is a popular summer food, hot dogs are definitely not a favorite among health professionals, who take issue with the low nutrition levels of the food and how hot dogs are processed.
A typical pork hot dog contains 204 calories and 18 g of total fat and 620 g of sodium — and this is before condiments like ketchup, mustard and relish are added.
Furthermore, eating hot dogs increases your chances of getting certain diseases. Hot dogs, like many processed meats, are linked to increased risks for health issues like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and higher mortality.
An analysis of the diets of 1,660 people found that the risk for getting bladder cancer went up with the amount of processed meats consumed. And a 2015 study found that eating processed foods made for a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes than eating red meat.
Of particular concern among health experts and doctors are nitrates, preservatives added to hot dogs from synthetic materials or natural sources that give the meat longer shelf life and more color. When digested, nitrates turn into nitrites, which have been linked to cancer in test subject animals.... READ MORE AT TIME.COM

Legend has it that a dollop of peanut butter will turn a wolf into a monster. Similarly, a nominally priced monthly fee will turn you into a monster music collector, like Peanut Butter Wolf and his new digital music subscription.
The San Jose, California native, who broke onto the hip-hop scene as Charizma's DJ in the early '90s, recently introduced a monthly music subscription service via his Stones Throw Records label. For $10 a month, the indie imprint digitally delivers new releases to subscribers' inboxes free of anti-sharing DRM restrictions.
For $15, however, you can catch Peanut Butter Wolf live at Bardot on Thursday, March 29, when the record producer and label founder spins culturally relevant tunes during the Midtown lounge's Living Room Sessions.
Peanut Butter Wolf, whose real name is Chris Manak, was in Austin earlier this month for South by Southwest and opened up to The Austin Chronicle about his label's recent hardships.
"We haven't had a lot of success with rap recently. I stand by what we've put out, but the sales haven't been the same."

Despite lackluster sales, however, Manak promises to stay true to his passion.
"I'm not going to stop releasing hip-hop because we don't have the same fan base," he says. "I started this label because I wanted to release records I liked."
Peanut Butter Wolf. Thursday, March 29. Bardot, 3456 North Miami Ave., Miami. The show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets cost $15 to $20 plus fees via eventbrite.com. Call 305-576-5570 or visit bardotmiai.com.

But I've found that the weapon which hurts a man the most is a single word carefully aimed at his heart. One word can rob a man of self, reason and hope. What moves a ...Read More »

Pop cans have changed over the years, particularly the method to open either pop cans or those containing "barley pop." Those very much younger than yours truly think a "church key" is the key that unlocks the door of a house of worship.
The area I grew up in, and maybe a much larger area, had given the nickname of "church key" to the type of can opener that punched a triangular hole in the top of a can of pop or "barley pop" (beer).
The reason for this was that one who used the said "church key" too frequently on barley pop would need all the best churches could offer to get the individual in question out of the gutter. (Note that Alcoholics Anonymous insist a strong religious influence is essential to getting an individual free from the addiction of alcohol.)
After the "church key," the opening device was the "pop-top." You lifted a ring and pulled, and the ring and a part of the top of the can separated from the can, leaving a nice hole to drink the contents of the can from. The pop-tops were made into chains and necklaces but most often tossed out the window or dropped on the beach or wherever. The current opener that pretty well stays attached to the can followed the pop-top.
It was in the era of the pop-top that I proposed to Elli. I put the ring from a pop-top on the appropriate finger of her left hand, telling her this would have to do until she could go with me to a jewelry store to pick out an engagement ring we both liked. She told me she did not want one; she would just be paranoid of losing it. Later that night she put the engagement pop-top on her dresser, and the next morning her sister, not knowing what it was, threw it out.
Years later as our 15th anniversary approached, one of my friends, Rob Norman, was involved in his family business, a jewelry store. I asked Rob about making a gold pop-top and setting in it Elli's birthstone, to be worn as a necklace with a gold chain. He said it sounded simple enough. I got a price from him, and told him I had to have it by September 12 of that year.
As the time drew near with no sign of the necklace, I hounded Rob a bit. He told me it was more difficult than he thought, and that he even took the project to his father for help. Even his dad was having a time with it. He called me about two days before our anniversary and said it was finished. I picked it up at the jewelry store and he told me it had been a real learning experience for him.
He also said it was lucky for me that I had gotten a firm price from him when we first talked about it, because if he charged me for the time all of the failures took to produce such a simple thing, it would have cost $1,500 instead of the $150. He said he wanted to call and tell me he could not make it, but his dad told him that since he told me he could do it, he was by golly going to do it. The finished product is something Rob can always be proud to have made.
When I gave it to Elli, she cried and hugged me. And when she finally stopped, I had to go get a dry shirt. She told me she was glad I gave it to her at home rather than in a public place like a café. She has only worn it a couple of dozen times, afraid it will get lost.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what I ever did to deserve such an angel. As we are looking at our 38th anniversary, I still think she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and sometimes I am afraid that when she touches me I will melt. It is not the pop-top necklace or other gifts. It is an indescribable magic we have worked hard on for 38 years. Try as I might, every time I do something nice to "even up" all the nice things she has done for me, Elli is still ahead. I'll just concede defeat. Maybe. But not in this life. PD

Patience Please - Meal Delivery Expectations
We look forward to seeing our students and families at bus stops and school sites to pick up meals starting tomorrow, September 9.
Delivering meals to bus stops means we can get nutritious meals to students where they are during their school day, but it also provides unique challenges. Bus drivers have a limited time at each stop to deliver the right meals to the right children. Please note that we expect some delays during our first week of school.
Teachers have been asked to not schedule live instruction close to the lunch hour to allow students time to pick up and eat lunch. Daily schedules are set up to provide some flexibility in the schedule around the lunch hour.
You can help us by doing your part and pre-ordering through our online system. As a reminder, if you plan to drive, please pick up at a school site and not a bus stop. This is to keep our students safe.
Thank you for your patience during this week as we work through challenges in the daily schedule.
Share Your #HighlineFirstDay
Share your #OurHighlineStory on your #HighlineFirstDay of school with us! Take a photo of you and your student(s) participating in a Zoom call or wearing your school spirit gear tomorrow and share the photos with us! Tag us on social media (@HighlineSchools) or email the photos to email@example.com. We'll post them on social media and our website on the first day of school.

A BAR Affair with Beer Labels
"Don't label me"
– Said no beer bottle ever
FINALLY we managed to combine our two favourite things for this BAR Affair. Yes, November 19th was all about graphic design and delicious beers.
Together with a fine selection of superstar brewers, we literally shone the spotlight on their excellent beer labels for a change.
Whilst of course also sampling one or two of the beers themselves.. *burp*
The poster here on the left was lovingly and laboriously cut and pasted together from quite literally hundreds of VEDETT beer labels, and is most definitely a one off.
A big thanks to Maallust, The Butcher's Tears, Two Chefs Brewing, Oedipus, BOYS BIER, Amsterdam Brewboys, and of course VEDETT for showing up in person(s) and supporting the event.

Friday 25 January
|Eleothreptus (1)
This unusual bird belongs to the Caprimulgidae family, a name which is derived from 'goatsucker' in Latin and was bestowed on these birds in the mistaken belief that their large, gaping mouths were used to suckle livestock. The white-winged nightjar has pale greyish-brown plumage on the upperparts, speckled, barred and streaked brown. The breast is similarly patterned, except tinged with chestnut, and the rest of the underparts are white on the male and brownish on the female. The crown is boldly spotted blackish and the face has a distinctive pale greyish stripe, which looks like a moustache. The male also differs from the female by its mostly white tail and white wings tipped with black, which are clearly visible in flight; the female lacks these white parts (5). The white-winged nightjar is a mostly silent bird, except for the strange mechanical noise produced by the male during displays (6).
Like other nightjars, the white-winged nightjar is active at dusk, dawn and throughout the night, when it flies over hillsides and hilltops hunting for food. It flies slowly, and frequently glides, one to two metres above the grass, searching for moths, beetles and flies. This nocturnal hunter can also be found perched on low plants, termite mounds or palms, where it will make sudden short sallies to snatch prey from the air (2).
During the breeding season, the white-winged nightjar male defends small display territories in open areas on the upper slopes of ridges, which usually contain one to three display areas. Each display area typically consists of a vertical perch and a low anthill, separated by a few metres, and is used by the male during moonlit nights to perform courtship displays. From the elevated perch, the male flies in a gentle arc with 'butterfly-like' wing beats and the wings held back. They alight briefly on top of the anthill before flying with strong wing beats back to the perch. During these displays, the male produces an unusual, mechanical grrrrt sound, thought to be produced by the wings (6).
Relatively little is known about breeding in the white-winged nightjar, as the first 'nest' was discovered as recently as 1997. There is no constructed nest as such; rather, the clutch of two eggs is laid directly on the ground, adjoining a small 'clearing', in grassland (4). In Paraguay, nesting occurs between September and December, with the female apparently carrying out all the incubation, brooding and chick provisioning duties on her own (4).
The white-winged nightjar occurs in central South America where it is known from southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and Bolivia. It has only been found at four localities since the 1980s: Emas National Park in Brazil, Beni Biological Station in Bolivia, and Mbaracayú Forest Nature Reserve and Laguna Blanca in Paraguay (7) (8).
The white-winged nightjar inhabits open grasslands with scattered trees and bushes, shrubs or dwarf palms, and / or abundant anthills and termite mounds. It apparently shows a preference for grasslands regenerating after fires, and avoids areas of tall grass (4). The white-winged nightjar generally occurs between 170 and 1,000 metres above sea level (7).
Classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Whilst the white-winged nightjar has a wide distribution, within the range there is little suitable habitat left due to the spread of agriculture, ranching and grass fires (5) (8). Fires are usually started by landowners trying to clear their pasture and promote grass re-growth, and some spread uncontrolled into protected areas, while other fires are sadly started deliberately for malicious reasons within reserves (9).
The invasion and spread of non-native grass species also poses a potential threat to the white-winged nightjar. Although the impacts on this species are not fully understood, the spread of non-native grasses has been suggested to increase an area's susceptibility to fires, and the near-complete, dense ground cover they create probably also reduces the availability of the small 'clearings' that the white-winged nightjar seems to require for access to roost and nest sites (9).
The white-winged nightjar is protected by law in Brazil, and occurs in a few protected areas: Emas National Park, Mbaracayú Forest Nature Reserve and Beni Biological Station. However, active fire management is required in these areas as while occasional, small-scale fires create a mosaic of suitable vegetation, extensive, uncontrolled wildfires can be very destructive, particularly if they occur during the breeding season (7).

NYT Correspondent Injured in Iraq Helicopter Crash
Paris bureau chief Alissa J. Rubin is banged up but OK. From colleague Rob Nordland and Rick Gladstone's dispatch:
A helicopter carrying aid from Iraq's Kurdish autonomous government to stranded Yazidi refugees in the Sinjar mountains of northern Iraq crashed on Tuesday, killing the pilot and injuring other passengers, including a New York Times journalist on assignment for the newspaper.
Alissa J. Rubin, 56, The Times's Paris bureau chief and a longtime war correspondent, suffered an apparent concussion and broken wrists but was conscious, she confirmed when contacted briefly by cellphone. Adam Ferguson, 35, a freelance photographer working for The Times who was accompanying her, said via cellphone that he was not injured.
According to crash survivors, the helicopter went down shortly after takeoff. The cause of the incident has yet to be confirmed.
Update (2:45 p.m.):
Moises Saman, a photographer with agency Magnum Photos, also survived the crash and has spoken to Time magazine about this harrowing experience.
Update (Aug. 13):
Executive editor Dean Baquet today updated NYT staff on the condition of Rubin and Ferguson, via memo:
As you all know, our colleague Alissa Rubin was injured in a helicopter crash in northern Iraq on Tuesday. The good news is that she is now in stable condition at the American Hospital in Istanbul. She is in the intensive care unit, mainly so she can be observed closely.
Rod Nordland, her equally courageous, longtime partner in covering Afghanistan, is with her. Her husband, James, is on the way, and may even be there already. Joe Kahn is also headed to Istanbul. Rod reports that Alissa is in good spirits, occasionally managing to laugh.
Adam Ferguson, a freelance photographer who was working with Alissa, has aches and pains that he describes as minor. Rod had to talk him into staying in the hospital for observation.
I think our collective prayers were answered on this one.
This is a good time to reflect on our colleagues who are covering the world at a particularly violent, tumultuous time. I don't recall a period when so many writers, photographers and videographers have been in harm's way for The Times and other news organizations, taking risks and living away from their families to tell important stories. People like Alissa, Rod, Tyler Hicks and Chris Chivers have done it for more than a decade, through overlapping wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A new group of journalists is still working in those countries, as well as in Africa, Gaza, Libya and Ukraine. We are profoundly indebted to them.
Alissa's mother, Enid, said she was tremendously proud of her daughter, and she asked if Alissa had gotten to file her story from the scene yet!
I am going to steal from a couple of late-night emails because I couldn't say it better. Michael Slackman wrote that "we work with brave, committed people who risk it all to bear witness and make sure people are heard." Adam Nossiter, when I wrote to him about his coverage of the spread of the Ebola virus, replied, "It is a hell of a paper, every day."
Well, it is. But it would not be without the journalists who are risking their lives. There is no better moment than this to remember how lucky we are to have them as colleagues.

Romania: former communist-era prison boss on trial for tortureComments
A former Romanian prison commander has appeared in court to face charges of torture and causing the deaths of 12 political prisoners during the country's communist era.
Alexandru Visinescu, 88, is accused of subjecting political detainees in the notorious Ramnicu Sarat prison to conditions "designed to destroy them physically, by depriving them of medical care, food and heating and inflicting abuse on them," according to the charge.
Nicoleta Eremia, the wife of General Ion Eremia, a former detainee in the prison, explained: "I've sent reports to the court showing Visinescu authorised solitary confinement with harsh conditions."
"You can see the countless number of days my husband went without being given any food," she added.
It is Romania's first trial of a commander of a communist jail.
Visinescu denies any wrongdoing. He told the Associated Press earlier that the court would have to prove that his actions led to prisoners' deaths.
Andrei Murar, former director of the government institute investigating crimes during communism explained: "A crime remains a crime no matter when it has been committed. I think this trial is important for Romanian society, because it shows the dimensions of the crimes committed during the communist regime in the 1950s and '60s."
In the '50s, around 500,000 Romanians were condemned as political prisoners as the nation's communist government sought to crush all dissent.
The trial opened in Bucharest before being adjourned until October.

No matter where you go or what you do, somebody is watching and trying to figure out how they can sell you more stuff that you don't really need.
Marketing companies are always on the lookout for new methods to track user activity on the Internet. These information are used to display targeted advertisement to users which have a better return than less-targeted ads. The more a company knows about a user, the higher the return and that is the main reason why companies step up the tracking game despite public outcry about it and the rise of ad-blockers.
