Yahya Khan speaks on 1971
Abdul Quader Molla's hanging in Dacca demonstrates that the demons of 1971 have yet to be exorcised. The common refrain is the West inflicted Nazi-like carnage on the East.

text: Public Sector Ex-Newark IT contractor pleads guilty to defrauding Cisco Sharon Gaudin @itworldca Published: July 4th, 2008A former IT contractor for the city of Newark, N.J. this week pleaded guilty to using his position to defraud Cisco Systems Inc. of millions of dollars.Michael Kyereme, 41, of Piscataway, N.J., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Newark on Wednesday to mail fraud and tax evasion in connection with the scheme. Kyereme, also known as Michael Appiahkyeremeh, faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in jail and a fine of up to US$350,000.He is slated to be sentenced on Nov. 5 and is free on a $500,000 bond and wears electronic monitoring technology.According to the U.S. Attorney's Office Kyereme was an independent contractor hired by the city of Newark to handle IT support for city employees. He was authorized to request new or refurbished replacement parts from Cisco under the city's service contract with the vendor.As part of that contract, the city was obligated to return the defective parts to Cisco within 10 days of receiving the replacements. As part of his plea agreement, Kyereme admitted that between January of 2003 and March of 2007, he requested and received Cisco replacement parts, after fraudulently claiming that certain components in Newark's computer system had failed. Kyereme did not use these parts for the city but instead resold them to a third party in California and kept the proceeds.Kyereme did not dispute that in November of 2006, he requested and received a $260,000 one-port optical card. He returned a different part — an eight-port adaptor worth approximately $2,000, according to the Department of Justice.Kyereme admitted that between January 2003 and March 2007, he received about $6,900,000 in Cisco replacement parts, which he resold to third parties.The contractor also admitted that he filed fraudulent tax returns for 2003 through 2006, greatly understating his income. For example, in his 2006 tax return, he stated that he earned $81,494 when he actually brought in an additional $1,242,483.Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah J. Gannett handled the case. It was investigated by the FBI and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division.Related content:RCMP charge Canadian company for selling fake Cisco gearGovernment agency frustrated with CiscoAmbitious e-government project targets secure data sharing Public Sector replacement, replacements

Couture2020 - 2016
Couture, began in late 2016, is a studio-based project that investigates the performativity of drawing through stitching. Combining stitching and drawing with the practice of memory, the project aims to develop a hybrid practice, through temporary experimental installations – aesthetic encounters for drawing and textile-based works.
Couture, in French, defines the act of stitching using a thread and a needle. It is also a noun used to describe needlework (ouvrages) and the body of knowledge that forms the basis of all needlework.
The project's title Couture is borrowed from the front cover of two school exercise books, cahiers de couture that belonged to the artist's mother Paulette Dupré (née Berthelot, 1924-2011). The cahiers contain samplers, hand-stitched exercises done between 1934 and 1938. The exercises focussed on plain sewing, basic stitches for joining, mending and finishing household linens. The stitches were executed with red cotton thread on plain white cotton/linen fabric; the colour red was purposely chosen to clearly demonstrate the quality of the stitch, its regular spacing, length and direction. These were skills, a young working-class rural French woman learned at the time. Paulette left school at fourteen and become a highly accomplished professional seamstress (couturière).
Dupré creates drawing installations inspired by her mother's stitching samples and collected textiles – translating and reconfiguring print and lace motifs and stitches. Dupré's 2017 drawings were based on hand-knitted lace and machine-lace fabric, trimming and embroideries from family archive and recent acquisitions. The 2018 and 2019 installations combine drawings and stitching with objects, needlework and textiles from the artist parent's home in France.
Dupré reconfigures plain stitches onto Washi paper (Japan, mulberry) and Khadi (South India, cotton rag). She chooses paper over woven fabric to expend the field of stitching into the domain of drawing. Without the woven grid provided by warp and weft threads, regular stitching through paper is a challenge that the artist manages by piercing a grid to guide her stitching.
Dupré's project Couture brings together concerns about identity, materiality and memory.
Underpinning the project is the understanding of the act of stitching as a site of the feminine – a transformative site for becoming (Griselda Pollock). For Dupré, stitching is also a site of memory where traces of experiences connect through time, space, cultures. A threshold, a portal, a temporary event, where stitchers connect. To paraphrase French artist Pierrette Bloch, beyond order and repetition, the near nothingness of the thread, there is "a labyrinth"…."I believed I found a thread, [but] I have found memories" (Pierrette Bloch, Mailles et mailles de crin: mémoires, 1982).
Dupré's references are artists Hessie (Carmen Lydia Djuric, 1936-2017); Pierrette Bloch (1928-2017); Encyclopédie des Ouvrages de Dames (Encyclopedia of Needlework),1886 by Thérèse de Dillmont and The Constance Howard Book of Stitches, 1979.
Dupré' understanding of the concept of event is informed by the ideas of Event of a Thread (Anni Albers), Event of Place (Doreen Massey), Threshold and Passage (Marsha Meskimmon). Some of theses ideas were first discussed in her 2014 published chapter From Brixton to Mostar, social practice through textiles – in Cultural Threads publication edited by Jessica Hemmings.

Got a few questions in mind?
Check for answers to frequently asked questions below. If you can't find the answers you're looking for here, please feel free to contact us about your wedding first dance.
Check for answers to frequently asked questions below. If you can't find the answers you're looking for here, please feel free to contact us about your wedding first dance.
Ideally you would have some basic swing dance skills as you would learn the routines more quickly. However the wedding swing dance programme also consists of instructions for simple swing footwork and rhythms. For a more comprehensive programme to learn the basic skills for your wedding dance then the recommended programme is the Wedding First Dance Programme.
I know that the programme works as it has been taught to thousands of absolute beginners. I have no control over what happens after you buy the programme so there is no guarantee that you will be able to dance if you buy the Wedding First Dance Programme. However, the Wedding First Dance Programme is designed to give you as much help as possible so if you go through the programme as advised by setting aside quiet, undistracted time to practise with your partner, going through all the videos step by step, asking questions in our Facebook group or by emailing email@example.com when you have questions or feel stuck, then you are sure to end up with a simple and beautiful wedding first dance.
If after taking all these steps as described and you can show me that you have done the work in the correct way, asked for help and yet you have not been able to have your desired wedding dance, simply ask for a refund. I will promptly send you a refund, with no hassle, and we will still part as friends.
If you go through the programme step by step, you will be able to carry out simple and beautiful moves that fit in with your chosen song and your personal preferences.
The Wedding First Dance programme teaches you how to fit the simple steps into any song that has 4 or 8 beats. Most songs have 4 or 8 beats. The only songs it will not fit are waltzes, which have 3 beats. Most pop, rock, soul, swing, blues and many popular songs have 4 or 8 beats and the steps that you learn in this programme will fit. If you are unsure about how the steps can fit into your chosen song, just drop me line on firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be pleased to advise.
Everyone is different so choose a way that suits you best. Here are some options you may like to consider.
Option 1 – Half a day
If your wedding date is very soon, then this is the best option.
Imagine you're booking an appointment with a private tutor and turning up to the lesson with your partner. So I would l would advise putting aside some quiet time with your partner to go through it all the videos.
The entire Wedding First Dance Programme will take just over 2 hours if you are able to do the programme all in one go. The most important thing is to be undistracted and go through the short 5-minute videos one by one without skipping past any. The programme is designed to take through the process of learning step by step so that the learning process is easy and the result is a beautiful dance. The lessons are easy to do and also easy not to do so make sure that you turn off your phones or any social media distractions in order to make the most of the programme.
Option 2 – 5 minutes a day
If your wedding date is still sometime away and you can set aside 5 minutes, this is a good option for you.
Create a regular 5-minute appointment for yourself in your diary. If you miss your 5-minute appointment, one day, you can catch up the next day by go through 2 videos, thus taking up just 10 minutes.
The entire Wedding First Dance Programme will take just three and a half weeks if you are able to do the programme for 5 minutes day
I would advise that you go through the short 5-minute videos one by one without skipping past any. The programme is designed to take through the process of learning step by step so that the learning process is easy and the result is a beautiful dance. The lessons are easy to do and also easy not to do so make sure that you turn off your phones or any social media distractions in order to make the most of the programme.
The Elegant Routines videos are simple and elegant 'done-for-you' routines that you can copy and adapt to suit your requirements. You can go through these videos anytime. You can go back on different sections again so you can view any parts that need more attention.
These videos include helpful advice and useful tips but are not designed to be a full wedding dance programme with step-by-step instructions. For a fuller programme, the Wedding First Dance programme is recommended.
In a class you will be taught moves that do not necessarily fit in with your song, your ability, your level of confidence or your personal preferences. There will be other participants in the class, which you may find distracting if you are not used to attending dance classes. Dance classes are designed to improve the dance skills of its participants over a period of time and some classes may be very technical and offer complex moves that may not suit your requirements. Lastly the pace of the class may be faster that you'd like as it's often designed to cater for a wide range of abilities and you may find it a challenge to keep up.
You can learn this in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you. If you are both busy and you can start learning on your own before putting your dance together.
Yes, definitely. The Wedding Dance Programme is designed with absolute beginners in mind. The lessons include down-to-earth easy explanations on why some people have 'Two Left Feet' with a simple remedy for this common problem.
As you are in control of your own dance you can pick and choose the moves that suit you best. You can leave out any of the moves that don't suit you. The video lessons are specially designed for beginners without any previous dance experience and therefore do not consist of challenging moves.
The Wedding First Dance programme shows you how to fit your steps into music of any tempo; fast or slow, or when you want a change of tempo. The skills you will learn will enable you to adapt to your chosen song.
By joining the Wedding Dance Programme and following the instructions step by step you will be able to create a simple and beautiful partner dance. By practising regularly with your partner you will be able to dance as a couple. The more you practise and the more you follow the techniques in the videos, the more connected you will be to each other when you dance as a couple.
I don't just tell you what moves to use, I show you how to carry them out by using my Five Step System. Using my proven formula, your First Dance will be easy to do and will wow your friends and family.
You will not be limited by or focusing on any of the traditional styles, for example ballroom or Latin styles. The type of dance you will be learning will be a Wedding First Dance, which is much easier to learn and also easier to fit your chosen song.
Absolutely! The Wedding First Dance Programme is designed for beginners who want to learn to dance for their wedding day. You do not need any previous dance experience but you do need to spend about 5 minutes a day to follow through the video lessons in order to create your wedding first dance.

Get the right hose for the job with our guide to Franklin Fueling Systems hose solutions.SOFTWALL OR HARDWALL
What's the difference between Softwall and Hardwall hoses? Softwall hose offers additional flexibility, making it ideal for reel or retractor applications where longer lengths are required. Hardwall hose has a wire mesh braid to help it last longer and
keep it more rigid.
What's special about marina hose? Marina hose is highly flexible to accommodate the longer hose lengths needed for running the length of docks and piers. It also features an
integrated spring inside of each hose end which provides extra strength and prevents kinking.
What hose would be needed for fuel containing 15% Ethanol? A speciality hose is needed for greater than 15% Ethanol, as tube construction must meet the E25/E85 compatibility test requirements of UL 87A.
What hose is recommended for temperatures below freezing? Most hardwall and softwall curb pump hoses function in temperatures down to -25˚F (-31 ˚C). For temperatures below -25˚F (-31 ˚C) a special hose is recommended.
Which hose is suitable for personal use? Softwall multi-use hoses are ideal for agricultural, construction or industrial service applications where UL approval is not required.
Which hose is suitable for use with DEF? DEF/AdBlue® must not be exposed to copper, brass, nickel, or epoxy resins and so requires a special hose.
What is Low Permeation hose? Low Permeation hose reduces the diffusion of fuel through the hose wall, which helps to control air pollution. This type of hose is specifically mandated to be used in some regions.
Available in hardwall and softwall options, ¼" service station air hose is designed for tire inflation service from towers, reels or curb connections.
Franklin Fueling Systems offer a complete range of hoses:
- FLEX-ON™ hardwall hoses are the workhorse of our hose offering. Available in multiple diameters, lengths, colors and fitting options.

Council changes plans after hundreds object to seafront development
PUBLISHED: 16:55 22 March 2019 | UPDATED: 17:02 22 March 2019
A council has revised plans for a seafront development after its proposals were met with fierce opposition from traders and residents in a seaside town.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council submitted plans for three food concessions, two huts and outdoor seating on Gorleston's lower promenade earlier this month.
However, the council received hundreds of letters in opposition to the scheme.
Businesses warned they could be forced to close should their takings be dented while residents raised concerns over the commercialisation of Gorleston.
Ben Jay, owner of Marina Bay café, said he was pleased by the decision but expressed caution as to what other proposals the council would put forward.
Mr Jay said: "Initially I thought it was fantastic news because it shows the council has listened to what the people of Gorleston want.
"I am sceptical though because it looks as though some kind of development will still be going ahead.
"We just do not want anything going there."
The café owner also thanked residents for their fantastic support and said he was really proud of the response of the community since the proposals were put forward.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council said there will be a public consultation on the revised plans.
A council spokesman said: "In order to allow further time to review and better understand the concerns raised by traders and the public, the council has decided to amend its planning application to remove the three proposed food concessions from the application.
"In addition, the proposed use of the two huts has been clarified in the application as storage use in connection with authorised leisure use around and adjacent to the Yacht Pond."
Jay Formosa of Jay Jays cafe has also welcomed the news and warned the council to "leave Gorleston alone".
Earlier this week, hundreds of runners came together on Gorleston's lower prom to spell out their opposition to the proposals - by creating the word 'NO'.
Parkrun organiser Chris Harbord warned the weekly 5km route could be "at risk" if the plans went ahead with little room to safely extend the course.

Video shows rodents scampering through crates of tomatoes at grocery store
STOCKTON (KTXL) -- A man captured what appears to be a number of mice running through crates of tomatoes in a Stockton supermarket.
At first glance, cell phone video of a bin of tomatoes looks seemingly innocuous, but look closer and you might not like what you see.
Lee Yim shared cell phone footage with FOX40 of at least one rodent peeking its head through a bunch of tomatoes at the Food 4 Less on March Lane in Stockton. He said he made the discovery Sunday night when he reached out to pick a tomato for dinner.
"Pick the tomatoes and all of a sudden you see a big ol' rat just run across," Yim said.
We shared the video with customers on Monday.
"I won't buy anymore tomatoes here," Bennie Martin said.
"Oh no! That's not good. I'm glad I didn't buy those today," Chris Thomas said.
The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department said they received a number of calls on Monday morning about the rodent sighting. They sent an inspector to the store who found evidence of rodent activity. The agency ordered the Food 4 Less store to take the following steps:
- Close any impacted areas of the produce section of the store and remove the produce from sale
- Conduct thorough cleaning and disinfection of the impacted areas
- Seek immediate additional pest control measures for the impacted areas
- Eliminate all possible rodent harborage areas
We also reached out to Food 4 Less. The managers on-site refused to speak with us.

Late Monday night, we received the following statement from the Food 4 Less management team:
"We are aware of the issue at our March Lane Food and have taken immediate steps to correct the matter. We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean store. The health and safety of our customers is our primary concern. Our team will continue to work closely with health department officials until we are confident the matter is resolved."
"Look at it properly, inspect more often because you never know," Yim said.
For Yim, he said his appetite was spoiled, his trip to the grocery store was ruined.
"No tomatoes, I dropped everything and I'm done. The only thing I just grabbed was my oysters. That's about it," he explained.
The county said inspectors will be back to make sure the unwelcome guests are gone for good.
Reportedly, employees were notified of the infestation and threw the produce away, but were unable to catch the mice at the time.

It is already customary to organize for any wedding. Many people would resolve to spare finances for a long period of several months and years just to prepare for a relatively short ceremony that certainly will change their lives forever.From the pre-wedding preparations, going to the honeymoon, each wedding ceremony is supposed to be prepared for.
A wedding invitation should not be taken for granted. Thus, it should not be thought of as simply a card used to get guests for the wedding!
What makes modern wedding invitations different from the traditional ones depends on these three main components.What are these anyway?
Conventional wedding invitations do not usually yield a great deal of attention to the margins; these invitations make themselves divergent through embellishments and add-ons. Modern wedding invitations consider every point, which constructs it more casual rather than conventional, but to a greater extent remarkable!
On the other hand, technology is becoming to a greater extent advanced so we have a wide range of fonts available at our doorstep. It does not necessarily have to be perpetually about the scripts. You can look for these fonts on the internet or ask the supplier for examples.
While most conventional wedding invitations play pastels with white, modern wedding invitations are more attention-getting – they commonly come in bold colors. It is the risk that comes with applying sheer, stand-out colors.
Traditional wedding invitations are usually embellished with laces – and they are not unfavorable either.Almost all modern wedding invitations otherwise try to shuffle and fit precisely almost anything, such as preserved petals, beadworks, and the like.

First I want to let you know that if you are a member of the Chamber, you have access to a special marketing tool in the "Members Only" section of the Chamber Website. In this area you can quickly and easily place a coupon which can be made available to either anyone that views it or just to other Chamber Members. If you have not used it or did not even know it was there, be sure to check it out and start emailing the link to current and potential customers. Also, in this section you will find that you can also add special events, upcoming activities, business happenings that you would like to share with the World Wide Web. Be sure to take a few minutes in the next few days to see how you can benefit from this great addition to our website!
And in order to give you as much advance notice as possible so you can get in early on; I want to let you know about yet another online marketing program the Chamber is undertaking. In the coming weeks Chamber Members will be able to use the Chamber email Distribution list to promote their business, advertise their daily specials and put a coupon in the hands of hundreds of Chamber Members.

Here's some great news from BetterMail. We've made it easier for you to upload your contact lists into our database with the introduction of our new Import Mapping feature.
The Import Mapping feature replaces the old contact import process, simplifying the way lists are added to the database. It eliminates the need for you to rename header fields in contact lists before importing them to match the BetterMail field names. Instead, fields in contact lists can easily be "mapped" to fields in the BetterMail database during the import process.
This means that virtually any comma separated (CSV), or tab-delimited (TXT) file can be quickly and easily be imported without the need to remember what BetterMail calls the fields.
Plus, to make importing even more user friendly we've implemented some artificial intelligence to the process: the system identifies – with great accuracy – the various fields in your import file and automatically maps them to the BetterMail database.
The new Import Mapping feature is also fully compatible with your old import files!
As always, your feedback is very important to us so don't hesitate to let us know how you think we can further improve BetterMail for you.

Monitor every component of your infrastructure, from containers to VMs to physical servers and network switches.
As enterprises prepare for a cloud native world, there is a major transformation in technology stacks. There is a migration from large monoliths to small microservices along with a migration from physical servers to VMs and now containers. Not only are there many more components, but the number of relationships between these components have exploded exponentially. This all leads to systems that are increasingly difficult to monitor due to the increased complexity and amount of monitoring data being produced.
None of the existing tools today are equipped to even store the vast amounts of data being produced, let alone make use of them.
The Chronosphere platform is an end to end monitoring platform purpose built for enterprises as their technology stacks evolve for a cloud native world. Having built M3 in open source to solve this problem for themselves, the team at Chronosphere is now bringing the solution to enterprises everywhere.
Monitor every component of your infrastructure, from containers to VMs to physical servers and network switches.
Monitor every one of your microservices, the relationships between them and the dependencies between your applications and infrastructure.
Monitor your top line business metrics and drill down to the underlying applications and infrastructure.
The Chronosphere team were the original creators and maintainers of the open source metrics platform, M3, which is used to power the Chronosphere platform today. The team has scaled M3 up to one of the largest metrics systems in the world and with no sign of slowing down, it is guaranteed to scale up with your business.
Scale is great, but scaling without controls can be dangerous. Chronosphere adds enterprise focused features to M3 such as intelligent rate limiting and security and access control such that all teams within your organization can leverage the power of a single centralized platform, with fine grain controls, resource limitations and accountability.
The Chronosphere platform has been battle tested in production for years while running one of the world's largest monitoring workloads. It has maintained the highest levels of reliability during that time and the same world-class team can now run the same platform for you and your business.
Each configuration provides an increasing level of reliability, but comes at varying costs. Chronosphere puts that choice in your hands so you can pick what is best based on your requirements.
When dealing with scale and large amounts of data, cost quickly becomes an inhibitor. Luckily, Chronosphere's users do not have to compromise on that either. Chronosphere's underlying technology has been proven by multiple users to be an order of magnitude more cost efficient than their legacy solutions.
Additionally, Chronosphere's product comes with efficiency controls built in. This means that you can control both the level of detail you want to store your data in as well as the length of time you would like the data to be retained for. This can be configured in a uniform policy across all of your monitoring data or just a select subset of your data.
Chronosphere's product comes with visualization and alerting capabilities that are specifically designed to utilize the sheer amount of data being produced and stored. These capabilities come with a focus on data recognition and automation as manual configuration does not scale when we are dealing with tens of thousands of dashboards and millions of alerts.
Being built on an open source product, Chronosphere strongly believes in open source standards and building transferable skills. This is why the platform supports all the standard CNCF open source metric ingestion formats such as StatsD, Carbon and Prometheus as well as all the standard open source query languages such as PromQL, Graphite and SQL. With such a wide range of open standard support, you are not locked into the Chronosphere platform.
Please don't hesitate to drop us any questions you might have.
Chronosphere wants to engage with you in a useful, productive conversation. In order to do that, it will help to know something about your current environment and area of interests. We will be in touch within 24-48 hours.

Was the Uri attack designed to provoke in the run up to UNGA session?
In an apparently calculated bid by Pakistan to escalate the situation in Kashmir in the run-up to UN General Assembly session, 17 soldiers were killed in a pre-dawn attack on the 12th brigade headquarters at Uri located close to the Line of Control.
Twelve soldiers injured in the attack were evacuated to the Army's 92 base hospital in Srinagar. Four terrorists who carried out the strike were also eliminated.
The attack
"The administrative base had large strength of troops of units turning over after their tour of duty who were stationed in tents/temporary shelters which caught fire and resulted in heavy casualities," read a part of the statement by the Army's Northern command.
Soon after the attack, Army rushed elite para commandos and also pressed helicopters into service to zero in on the militants hiding inside the installation. The Fidayeen are believed to have infiltrated the previous night.
Later DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh also issued a statement which blamed the attack on Jaish-e-Muhammad. The statement said that "13-14 casualties" were the result of the tents and shelters "catching fire".

"The tents located in the complex were to house additional troops inducted due to routine turnover of units," the statement said, adding that he also spoke to Pakistan DGMO since the "terrorists had some items with Pakistani markings".
This was confirmed by Pakistan Army spokesman Lt General Asim Saleem Bajwa who said after the Uri attack that the DGMOs of the two countries had discussed the situation along the LoC through hotline.
Radio Pakistan, citing an ISPR release, said Pakistan Army had refuted the unfounded and pre-mature Indian allegation. "Pakistani DGMO asked his (Indian) counterpart to share any actionable intelligence," Radio Pakistan reported.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag later reached Srinagar and held meetings with top army officers on the attack. Gen Singh earlier visited the site of the militant strike and interacted with the field commanders there.
This is the largest loss of security personnel in a single attack in Kashmir Valley in the 27 years of the armed conflict. The worst attack in the state in this period has taken place at an Army camp at Kaluchak in Jammu in May 2002 in which three soldiers lost their lives.
In Uri, this is the second major attack since December 2014 when six fidayeen martyred eight soldiers and three policemen during the then ongoing Assembly polls.
What could have prompted the attack?
The Uri attack is more sinister as it has been executed in the heat of the ongoing runaway upsurge in Kashmir and just ahead of the UN General Assembly session where Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will deliver a Kashmir-centric address.
The relations between India and Pakistan have plunged to a new low following the current Kashmir unrest which has so far claimed 85 lives, blinded fully or partially several hundred youth and injured more than twelve thousand people.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently introduced a new factor in the souring bilateral ties by raising Pakistan's atrocities in Baluchistan and Gilgit-Baltistan, both of which are at the centre of the ambitious $46 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor.
This, many Kashmiri observers think, has put Kashmir at the centre of the new regional great game.
"I think this attack is designed to raise the stakes further in view of the ongoing situation in Kashmir," says the political analyst and Kashmir University Professor Dr Gull Wani. "A retaliation from New Delhi would dramatically escalate the situation and turn Kashmir into a centre of global attention".
This is an opinion that is shared across the border too. "Can't rule out Delhi heating up borders threatening reprisals but that will be a double edged sword", tweeted Pakistani journalist and the writer Syed Talat Hussain. "Any attempt to expand conflict will refocus global attention on Kashmir, renewing calls for its final resolution".
Some Kashmiri observers also see the attack "as a well-laid trap for New Delhi". "Now that the world has taken little note of the killings and blindings in Kashmir over 70 days, the Uri attack is a well-thought out attempt to change the dynamics of the situation and put Kashmir on the global agenda amid the upcoming UN General Assembly session," said a local journalist who didn't want to be identified.
"If New Delhi carries out a reprisal attack, it will snugly fit into a premeditated plan and give Kashmir the visibility that Pakistan and Kashmiri groups have been seeking".
New Delhi's choices
This inbuilt danger in the situation could put Modi government in a Catch-22 situation. If it carries out an attack, it could end up internationalising Kashmir. And if it doesn't, it could alienate its support base weaned partly on promises of a muscular stance towards Islamabad.
More so, the PM has warned that "that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished". Earlier, minister in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh called the Uri attack a "watershed moment for India".
This was followed by a statement from BJP's J&K point man and the high-ranking leader Ram Madhav making it clear that the "days of so-called strategic restraint are over".
"For one tooth, the complete jaw," Madhav said. "Terrorism is the instrument of the weak and coward, restraint in the face of repeated terror attacks betrays inefficiency and incompetence. India should prove otherwise".
However, South Asian expert Myra Macdonald, in Twitter posts, has highlighted India's limitations in taking on Pakistan.
"India's retaliation options limited. 1) Covert action doesn't appease public anger 2) Air strikes on camps don't affect source of problem," wrote Macdonald, who is the author of Defeat is an Orphan, a book analysing how Pakistan lost the South Asian War. "India doesn't have the overwhelming conventional superiority needed for short sharp war. Will get bogged down with risk of escalation".
In another tweet, Macdonald warns about the fallout. "International alarm about any conflict between nuclear-armed countries will undermine India's investment appeal & harm economy".
Lashkar or Jaish?
DGMO Singh has charged "Jaish-e-Mohammed tanzeem" with carrying out the attack, saying the slain terrorists belonged to the outfit. "Four AK 47 rifles and four Under Barrel Grenade Launchers along with a large number of other war like stores were recovered from them," Singh said.
Though both Jaish and Lashkar have been at the forefront of the solidarity campaign with Kashmiris over the past two months with Lashkar founder Hafiz Saeed posting an Eid message for Kashmiris on his Twitter account, it is Jaish that has taken an aggressive line from day one.
Soon after the militant commander Burhan Wani's killing in July and the subsequent mayhem in Valley, Jaish brought out a special Kashmir issue of its online magazine Alqalamonline. One piece went under this ominous headline: "India shouldn't think Kashmiris are alone. They are not. We will avenge each drop of Kashmiri blood".

Campus Life
Terp Guide: How To Pretend Like You're Getting Laid
Testudo gets more action than I do. At least there are people willing to rub him and offer condoms or underwear…
If that thought's ever crossed your mind, you might be experiencing a dry spell. Don't worry, this is perfectly normal! Sex is great. But much like healthy diner food, easy math classes, or football games that we actually win, it's all too difficult to find on this campus.
The Black Sheep can't promise to get you laid, but we do offer one glimmer of hope–the ability to pretend you're getting it, and getting it good.
Step One: Picking A Pretend Sex Partner
Pretending to have sex is a very intimate experience, and you should choose your partner (or partners) wisely. While attractiveness is important, keep in mind a far more vital factor–their ability to lie. Pretending to have sex with a friend or co-worker could potentially create an awkward situation, so consider heading to a bar like Looney's and picking a suitable mate. Better yet, stop by The Clarice and find a theater major.
Step Two: Props for Protection
Wait, you might ask. Why do I need condoms? You can't get pregnant from pretending to have sex–Oh, God, can you? If that's the case, I probably have fifty illegitimate children by now!
The devil is in the details. You want people to think you're having awesome and frequent sex, not catching a lot of STDs.
We advise acquiring your props as ostentatiously as possible. Stroll into the Health Center and grab a bunch of free condoms from the basket.
Or if you've got the Terp Bucks for it, go to the Union or Commons shop, buy about five packs of Trojans, and wink at whoever's manning the register. Heck, if you really want to be thorough about it, "accidentally" drop your purchase on the way back to your dorm. This will give you an excuse to slowly and laboriously pick it up.
If you really want to go all out, open the condoms and toss the wrappers into the trash once you're done. Nothing says I'm a dirty girl like a trash can full of fake evidence. But don't forget to recycle the cardboard boxes—The Black Sheep is okay with lying, not littering.
Step Three: Set the Mood
Anyone can lie and say "I'm having sex." But to make your fake night really special, pull out all the stops. Sexile your roommate (or if you suspect they also need a fake lay, bring them in on the gig. The more the merrier.) Put a sock or a tie on the doorknob. (Or if you don't feel like being subtle, write a notice on the whiteboard.) Push your bed up against the wall, so your neighbors won't be able to ignore you.
Step Four: The Importance of Sound Effects
You saw Emma Stone do it in Easy A. You may not be a professional actress, but you do have one thing going for you–ridiculously thin dorm walls.
Do everything– and we mean everything– loudly. Go nuts. Have fun. Jump on the bed. Bang the wall. Scream. Recite lines from your favorite pornos. Invoke God's name, or, better yet, Testudo's. And feel free to improvise! If you followed Step One correctly, you'll be able to trust your partner to play along.
We understand that you may have some lingering doubts. Isn't lying wrong? Shouldn't pretending to have sex be a little more special and a little less cheap? Will I feel different the morning after? If lying is a sin but staying a virgin is virtuous, then do I break even in the eyes of the church? Well, The Black Sheep doesn't judge. How often and with whom you pretend to have sex is a personal choice and we trust that you will all make responsible decisions. Just remember to have fun, always ask for consent, and for Testudo's sake buy your pretend sex partner some pancakes the next morning.

Last season was something of a disaster for the Red Sox. A World Series hangover was all too real as the team looked headed for the land of nowhere right out of the gate. But that 2014 team at least had a .500 record, 17-17, on May 8. That team was just 1.5 games behind division-leading Baltimore and were tied for third place.
One year later, the Sox are worse off. They are 13-15 and are in dead last in the AL East. Pitching coach Juan Nieves was the fall guy Thursday as the Sox fired him during his third season in Boston. Boston's starting pitching staff, which doesn't have an "ace" to speak of, currently owns a combined ERA of 5.54.
"We've been in the process of examining our overall pitching performance. I think, as everyone knows, there's a lot that goes into pitching performance, starting with the pitchers themselves," Red Sox GM Ben Cherington told The Boston Globe. "There's a lot of different factors that come into play when looking at why things are happening well or not well. And given the performance that we've had to date, we've been looking at all of those things and while we're confident that we have many of the pieces in place to improve and that we will see improvement, [manager] John [Farrell] and I simply got to a point where we felt that in order to continue to push forward and make improvement we needed to make a change and add a different voice in that particular position."
April was far from a mess for the Sox as they finished the opening month with a so-so 12-10 record. But they have won just one game since the calendar turned to May.
Righting the ship this weekend in Toronto won't be easy. While the Blue Jays, like the Sox, are floating around the .500-mark, the Jays' bats pose a great threat to the Red Sox' shaky pitching. The Blue Jays lead MLB in runs scored by 15 runs – a whopping lead considering it's only early May. While the Red Sox have received plenty of kudos this season for assembling a potent lineup, their run total is paltry to that of Toronto's as the Sox have scored 128 runs this season – good for eighth in the majors.
Wade Miley (1-3, 7.15 ERA) will take the mound for the Red Sox Friday while the Blue Jays will send out Aaron Sanchez (2-2, 4.62 ERA).

Bend has a new innovation officer; Position meant to spur efficiency
Bend has a chief innovation officer, and she wants to help the city run more efficiently.
The city hired Stephanie Betteridge, of Gresham, in April to fill the new position. Her job is to evaluate how the city delivers services and how data and technology can help them do it better.
"My role is to work with the entire organization and to say, 'How do we deliver services today? And how will we be doing it five years from now?'" Betteridge said.
She recently moved from Gresham, where she worked for the city for 12 years, eventually becoming its chief innovation officer. Before that, Betteridge worked for the Bureau of Land Management and the Center for Evidence-based Policy at Oregon Health & Science University.
The job in Bend was the product of a committee tasked to investigate how to improve performance in certain services, as well as look into how data and technology could be wielded to drive better policy and decision-making, said City Manager Eric King.
Based on the committee's recommendations, King decided to create a centralized position that would work with other departments on how to update technology to provide services more efficiently and to plan for the future.
The salary for the position is $142,505.52.
King said Bend needs an innovation officer because the issues facing the city are more complex and require the cooperation of multiple departments to solve them.
"The public needs to see government being more visible and being a partner in solving these problems … homelessness, housing, mental health," King said. "It will take many partners."
Part of the job is breaking down silos between departments and combining data in a way that is more helpful to residents, Betteridge said.
One example of this is an interactive dashboard that was recently released that combines all road closures, construction and event closures onto one map. Normally, road closures were available through written updates.
"So we're not, let's say, approving a race permit on a closed road," King said.
With Betteridge's help, the city will be launching another new interactive map of Bend's land inventory that will allow people to see what individual parcels are available and whether they are ready to be developed.
Over time, the city hopes to integrate more data and technology to track the city's progress on larger issues like housing and homelessness.
Betteridge hopes having more interactive tools like this will dispel perceptions people may have about issues with data, she said.
"It's really important for us to use data to tell our stories," Betteridge said. "There's a lot of assumptions. How do we use data to tell the story? Do they validate or invalidate perceptions?"

Upon arrival at the airport you may want to buy a SIM-card for your phone for around US$ 2.00 – Claro and Movistar work in Playa Venao. Buy credit for your SIM and choose one of the Data packages. You can buy Internet for around US$ 1.00 / day. This will enable you to navigate to Playa Venao if you come by rental car and/or use Uber to get around in Panama City, the most economic way.

We usually stay one night in or around the Rio Hato area. Be aware of rush hour though– 4:30pm- 7:30pm. During this time it is best to avoid driving into and out of the city. Especially in the Avenida Balboa area and towards the bridge of the Americas as everyone is leaving the city through there. Rush hour in the mornings: 8:00am – 10:00am.
Driving out of the city from the airport we like to take the way of the alternate Centennial Bridge. To us it seems like there is usually less traffic there.

Families and ...
Guiding young children's behavior is challenging work, but it is the most important job of the family. Children need your help in learning how to behave. Discipline and supervision change with the age of your child. Young children demand more time in guiding their behavior. Older children still need your guidance, but the amount of time and the number of times is less.
Always keep in mind that discipline, which really means teaching, is "training that develops self-control." Discipline is not mean. It is not embarrassing. It does not destroy a child's sense of worth. Eventually you want your child to develop the internal ability to guide his or her behavior and actions in proper ways in all situations, even when you are not there. This can be done if you do it a little bit all through childhood. Begin when your child is very young. Remember that the world is different from when you were young. Your child may need different skills.
Once you get used to the idea that you are a parent, it is important to get comfortable with the idea that you are responsible for guiding your child's behavior. In the process, you are going to be ignored, neglected and unpopular at times. In order to help your child develop self-control, you must have confidence that you are doing the right thing for your child. Keep your goal in your mind.
You need to discipline and guide your child's behavior respectfully, firmly and matter-of-factly even when you are feeling anxious or angry. You need to remain in control.
All through the stages of development, children need to know in advance what is expected and which behaviors are unacceptable. Young children are not able to always understand the words you say, even if you tell them what to expect. When children are young, you need to watch what they are able to tolerate. Leave when their behavior and attention span are not up to the activity. For example, when you take a very young child shopping, watch carefully for what the child can tolerate. Shopping is fun for a certain amount of time. Then the child might need to go on to another activity.
Let your child know in advance what you expect if they are older. If there is not a lot for your child to do, remember to bring things along that are fun and interesting. These added activities create a lot of opportunities for appropriate behavior.
If you need to reprimand your child, no matter what age your child is, always do it privately and respectfully. Remember that you are teaching the child what you want him or her to do. Be firm and kind.

Is there anything better than Classic French Toast? How about super easy French toast with Nutella shaped into the most adorable hearts?
Remember these scraps from the Valentine's Day egg in a hole toasts? Yep – they're baaaaack! This is just a simple reminder to use those scraps and turn them into another excellent breakfast or brunch addition – on the same day or the next!
Classic French toast is the best french toast
Let's keep French toast simple. I've never understood the fancy French toast but I also grew up on the easy and quick recipe without milk so that's what I prefer.
All the recipe requires are eggs and pure vanilla extract for some added flavor. That's it.
And somehow when you cut the French toast into something fun — like hearts or even just "sticks," the kids go bananas and think it's the greatest French toast in all the world.
The best bread for classic French toast
Challah and brioche bread are two of my favorite breads for classic French toast…but honestly, I think the best French toast is the one that uses what you have in your kitchen. In this recipe, I my kids's favorite honey wheat bread.
French toast toppings other than syrup
I love a little powdered sugar, strawberries and Nutella on my French toast when I'm wanting to make mine a little fancier and more indulgent.
Just put Nutella in a plastic bag, squeeze the Nutella around with your fingers so it gets a little warmer, cut the tip off the bag, then pipe the Nutella right onto the French toast before you devour it. You don't need any fancy equipment.
Other toppings than syrup include unsweetened (or sweetened coconut flakes, chopped nuts, creamy peanut butter and oats, whipped cream, sprinkles (if you're in my house), honey, jam, and any number of fresh sliced fruit (bananas, strawberries, apples and cinnamon, raspberries, etc.).
Happy breakfast'ing!
As always, if you make anything from the blog, be sure to let me know! I love hearing from you in the comments on this post below or find Worn Slap Out on Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest!
Classic French Toast with Nutella
- 16 cut-out hearts from your choice of bread
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- Heat half the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When butter starts to sizzle, dip your the hearts in the egg mixture until they're completely soaked. Place on hot skillet and don't touch them for at least 2 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Flip then cook on other side until also golden brown.
- Transfer hearts to a plate and cook second batch. Sprinkle powdered sugar all over the hearts and drizzle Nutella* all over.

Angela Lansbury returns to the London stage to reprise her Tony Award-winning performance as Madame Arcati in Noël Coward's comic play.
Directed by Michael Blakemore, who worked with Lansbury on the Broadway production, Blithe Spirit tells the story of Charles and Ruth, a writer and his wife who invite their friends for dinner so that they can experience a séance with a local clairvoyant as research for Charles' next novel. Certain that the spiritualist is a phoney, the diners are shocked when the ghost of Charles' first wife Elvira is summoned and proceeds to stay in their home over the days that follow, causing a rift between the feuding females.
Returning to the London stage for the first time in almost 40 years, Lansbury's career has spanned more than half a century. While the legendary stage and screen actress has won numerous awards for her stage performances, she is arguably best known for portraying fictional writer Jessica Fletcher in the American long-running murder series Murder, She Wrote.
Lansbury is joined in the cast by double Olivier Award winner Janie Dee, last seen on the London stage in NSFW at the Royal Court, and Charles Edwards, whose recent stage credits include Strange Interlude and This House at the National Theatre.
Blithe Spirit was last seen in the West End in 2011 with Alison Steadman and Robert Bathurst in the cast.
