9/11 Victim's Father Paints Picture of US/CIA Criminal Enterprise on Italian Television
Bob Mcilvaine, who son died on 9/11/2001, has spent six long years fighting for truth. He's been shunned by US media in the most despicable fashion.
However, Italian television gave this man what US media should have given him over and over again . . . the nation's ear.
In the above interview Mr. Mcilvaine tells the Italian audience what anyone who is honest and takes the time to do their research learns . . . that 9/11 was just one in a long example of CIA backed crimes meant to fool Americans into illegal wars.

Questions And Answers With 9/11 Family Member: Bob McIlvaine
Jon Gold
A little under 2 and a half years ago, members of the 9/11 Truth Movement held what were called "The 9/11 Omission Hearings" in New York City. At the time, I could not attend those, but I did attend the "9/11 People's Commission" in Washington D.C. I remember the impatience I felt waiting for some kind of media from the NYC Hearings. Originally, 4 recordings were released that went through the highlights only. When they were released, I pulled up my chair, and intently listened to every single word. That is the first time I heard Bob McIlvaine. When he started to cry, I burst into tears, and remember that moment like it was yesterday. I remember feeling so angry that this man had to feel this way. I couldn't find those recordings, but the audio of Mr. McIlvaine is available here.
In March of last year, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Mr. McIlvaine. The purpose of the dinner was to convince a friend of Rep. Weldon's that he needed to meet with us. As it turns out, it worked. Mr. McIlvaine also gave me the honor of interviewing him. One of the things I admire about him is the fact that he is so incredibly honest when he speaks.
Recently, at the 9/11 Accountability Conference, I got to spend some quality time with Mr. McIlvaine. If I remember correctly, I even got the chance to buy him breakfast. If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest you watch the Welcome and Mission Statement from Arizona.
Bobby McIlvaine was an amazing individual. I was reading through his bio the other day, and I couldn't believe his achievements. He graduated from Princeton University, and managed to get a job at Merrill Lynch as "Assistant Vice President For Media Relations." He was also engaged to be married for a 2002 wedding. My sincerest condolences Jennifer.
Because of Mr. McIlvaine's honesty, I wanted the chance to question him about a few things. Being the kind individual that he is, he has granted me that opportunity. Here is the result.
1. Very often, members of the 9/11 Truth Movement hear, "You're being disrespectful to, or dishonoring the family members". In your eyes, how true is that statement?
Asking questions does not dishonor or disrespect 9/11 family members. Asking questions does make family members irritable and anxious, primarily because they have ignored available 9/11 info. The truth must be heard, regardless who it hurts.
CBC Sunday Covers Alternative 9/11 Theories in Detail
CBC Sunday covered in great detail 9/11 alternative theories. They referenced Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Loose Change, and the standard range of 'conspiracy theory' topics. The show featured interviews with Bob McIlvaine, Dr. David Ray Griffin, Dylan Avery, Lee Hamilton, and Jim Meigs (Popular Mechanics). Download it, check it out, post some comments, and send in some feedback to the CBC. You can also check out a tiny bit on CBC's website at the moment here.

Lent is not everyone's cup of tea. I find myself at odds with the discipline of this holy season in part because I am not always up to the call of conversion. AND yet, what is Christian life but a constant change of heart, moving from sin to grace, from spiritual antipathy to greater freedom in Christ, from being a yahoo to being the person God the Father wants me to be. Several things come to mind at the beginning of Lent: has the Paschal Mystery (the Lord's life, death, resurrection & ascension) made a lasting impression on me? Does the Lord's self-giving open or close the doors of my heart?
In some way there is an impression made on us by the Lord's Paschal Mystery otherwise we wouldn't begin the season of Lent with prayer, fasting and almsgiving symbolized by the mark of ash. But a possible danger is allowing the spiritual life to be mired in mere routines and moralisms which kill off a relationship with the Blessed Trinity and with our neighbor. Human nature, however, is a funny thing sometimes. We often think that everyone else is expected to change except for me. While it is the acceptable time to change heart and mind, as the Apostle says, often the practice of change is left to the other person in the pew or the one sharing the bathroom. Therefore there is a disconnect with reality here because of a lack of awareness of hod God is inviting us to new life.
It is our Christian belief, that is, the reality of being a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, that God loved us so much so as to suffer death and to rise three days later for me. The question becomes: does Christ's death/resurrection make a real difference in my life? How do my attitudes toward an ego-centric sister or a crazy aunt change as a result of this awareness? Do we have a hope based on faith that can show the world there is real, substantial hope in an era where there's so little trust, love and belief in the hundred-fold promised by the Lord?
God is patient with us via truce he offered and which is spoken of by Saint Benedict. Abbot Placid reminded us at last evening's Mass, God has provided us
…a truce granted us for this very reason, that we may amend our evil ways. As the Apostle says, "Do you not know that God's patience is inviting you to repent" (Rom. 2:4)? For the merciful Lord tells us, "I desire not the death of the sinner, but that the sinner should be converted and live" (RB, Prol.).
The hallmarks of Lent are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. I would contend that every day of our Christian life is marked this way with prayer, sacrifice and charity. So this time of the year is characterized by a more intense living of our commitment to Christ by encountering him in old and perhaps new ways. If we don't pray at the side of the cross can we really call ourselves Christian? Is there a real obedience (following and listening) to the example Christ gave us? Can we receive give to others the alms of patience, forgiveness and love? Do we have affection for ourselves as a condition for loving others? And can we be intentional in not being controlled by sin and sinful tendencies? Can we remove ourselves from those things that denigrate our dignity as a son and daughter of God, or are we going to exist in a cycle of destructive attitudes and actions? Now is the acceptable time, now is the time to act.

Stephanie has bought some new ebooks recently, including a couple of popular series and some intriguing plot-lines.
Stravaganza: City of Masks, City of Stars, City of Flowers, by Mary Hoffman. We have the first three books in this very popular series as ebooks (you can also reserve the paper version of the soon-to-be-published latest, City of Swords). The official series website is here.
Gossip Girl series, created by Cecily von Ziegasar. We've recently acquired heaps of these (approximately 13), including the first book, It Had to be You (the prequel), and Don't You Forget About Me (which we partly mention because that's the name of the theme song of the excellent The Breakfast Club (outstanding teen movie from the 80s! ($4.00 for 1 week))).
The Académie, Susanne Dunlap. Eliza Monroe is the daughter of the soon-to-be fifth president of the United States (true story!). It is only fitting, then, that she attend an exclusive academy in Paris. She's not too thrilled at the notion, until she discovers she will be attending with the daughter of Josephine (of Napoleon and Josephine fame), who is marvellously called Hortense de Beauharnais (true story) and the younger sister of Napoleon himself (Caroline). More intriguing: the two girls hate each other. Paris in the early 19th century: what a place to be!
The Pledge, Kimberly Derting. In the far future the world is divided strictly by language, and the language you speak is a matter of life and death. This world is complicated for Charlie, as she is gifted with the ability to understand all languages. When Charlie meets Max, who speaks a language she's never heard before (but can understand, of course), she's intrigued, but Max understands the danger Charlie is in: can he protect her as war threatens?

I love merganzers, especially the red-breasted variety with their amazing crests!
I came upon this beautiful pair late yesterday at Mill Landing.
Now I know they say that often in the bird kingdom it's the males of the species who really shine.
And this male red-breasted truly was a most dashing fellow, to be sure.
But somehow, for me, it was his Lady Fair who took my breath away…
She was perfectly coiffed, her red button eyes bright and gleaming in the setting sun's light. Her reddish feathers a stunning contrast to the blue and gold reflections on the water.
The two seemed most taken with one another.
He never let her out of his sight, and I could hear them exchanging gentle murmerings whenever they passed each other by in the swirling current.
Once they spotted me along the shore, they were up and away.
I hope I didn't ruin their day.

Over the course of three years, the proposed Healthy Life Center, a first-of-its-kind multi-resource community center in Ames, has quietly been moving forward.
However, an $18 million fundraising effort could halt the project's momentum come Jan. 31.
"It's been a challenge," said former Ames Mayor Ann Campbell, who is helping spearhead the project's private fundraising campaign. "But we've received pledges in the neighborhood between $100 dollars and $3 million." Just this week, she received a pledge of $1,000, Campbell said.
While the total amount of pledges couldn't be confirmed, a few pledges were made with the condition that the center is accessible and affordable to residents.
Last year, Campbell along with Warren and Beverly Madden, endeavored on a philanthropic fundraising goal that comprises 36 percent of the project's estimated cost.
Since then — whether's it's been slideshows, formal presentations or finding inspiration in other cities — the trio remains steadfast in bringing the project to life.
"This is the type of community center that can attract residents to Ames, because of the depths of services and activities that are provided," Beverly Madden said.
Of the project's overall $48.7 million budget, four collaboration partners are anticipated to contribute $30.5 million to the project, which would be built on 10 acres of land owned by Iowa State University on Ontario Avenue near Scholl Road, in the northwest corner of the city.
In a public meeting scheduled for Jan. 31, groups affiliated with the Healthy Life Center project will meet at 7 p.m. at City Church, 2400 Oakwood Road, and the total of the private fundraising amount could dictate the project's feasibility.
If the fundraising group reaches its $18.2 million goal, the four funding entities involved in the project — the city of Ames, Heartland Senior Services, Mary Greeley Medical Center, and Story County — will make the decision whether to move forward with the project.
The final step would be a bond referendum that could be put before Ames voters later this year, said Warren Madden, the now-retired vice president of business and finance at Iowa State University.
The anticipated funding streams project the city of Ames would contribute $17 million, Mary Greeley Medical Center would contribute $7 million and Heartland Senior Services and Story County would budget $3.5 and $3 million, respectively, for the project.
Contrarily, if the fundraising effort falls short, any one of the six entities in the project could withdraw their proposed funding and services, leaving the future of the proposed project in jeopardy. The other groups are Des Moines Area Community College and Iowa State University.
Warren Madden said the group is still meeting with some local companies and other prospective contributors in hopes of finalizing additional pledges before the Jan. 31 meeting, but Campbell acknowledged that "it would be a challenge," to meet the goal amount by then.
Despite the challenges that lie ahead leading up to the Jan. 31 meeting, the fundraising trio are optimistic of the project's future.
"The Healthy Life Center can benefit the city of Ames in areas of health, accommodating our growing population and our intergenerational relationships," Beverly Madden said.
Akin to amenities in metropolitan areas, such as the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., there's also a belief that the Healthy Life Center would enhance the quality of life in Ames.
"From grandparents to college students, and for prospective job seekers, we want to have something that improves Ames living for the next 50 years," Campbell said.
While some eyebrows have been raised over what some might consider "unnecessary amenities," such as a demonstration kitchen or coffee shop, the committee believes every layer of the facility's design is mutually supportive, and if one is taken away the project as a whole would suffer.
Campbell said that while she was at first doubtful of the need for some elements of the project, such as the demonstration kitchen where people could learn how to prepare food and eat healthier, she has learned from local dietitians and nutritionists about the need for such a service in Ames.
"It took me a while to be believer," Campbell said. "We're thinking big, but we don't look at any of these components as frills."
Madden and Campbell repeatedly refer to the proposed project as a community center, not a recreation center, citing the various amenities and the demographics they are targeting.
"The time is right for this project," Warren Madden said. "From the water therapy rooms to the adult day center to the gym and swimming pool space, there's something for everyone."

Teenage Brain: A work in progress
Teenage Brain: A work in progress
National Institute of Mental Health
New imaging studies are revealing-for the first time-patterns of brain development that extend into the teenage years. Although scientists don't know yet what accounts for the observed changes, they may parallel a pruning process that occurs early in life that appears to follow the principle of "use-it-or-lose-it:" neural connections, or synapses, that get exercised are retained, while those that don't are lost. At least, this is what studies of animals' developing visual systems suggest. While it's known that both genes and environment play major roles in shaping early brain development, science still has much to learn about the relative influence of experience versus genes on the later maturation of the brain. Animal studies support a role for experience in late development, but no animal species undergoes anything comparable to humans' protracted childhood and adolescence. Nor is it yet clear whether experience actually creates new neurons and synapses, or merely establishes transitory functional changes. Nonetheless, it's tempting to interpret the new findings as empowering teens to protect and nurture their brain as a work in progress.
The newfound appreciation of the dynamic nature of the teen brain is emerging from MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) studies that scan a child's brain every two years, as he or she grows up. Individual brains differ enough that only broad generalizations can be made from comparisons of different individuals at different ages. But following the same brains as they mature allows scientists a much finer-grained view into developmental changes. In the first such longitudinal study of 145 children and adolescents, reported in l999, NIMH's Dr. Judith Rapoport and colleagues were surprised to discover a second wave of overproduction of gray matter, the thinking part of the brain, neurons and their branch-like extensions, just prior to puberty. Possibly related to the influence of surging sex hormones, this thickening peaks at around age 11 in girls, 12 in boys, after which the gray matter actually thins some.
Prior to this study, research had shown that the brain overproduced gray matter for a brief period in early development, in the womb and for about the first 18 months of life, and then underwent just one bout of pruning. Researchers are now confronted with structural changes that occur much later in adolescence. The teen's gray matter waxes and wanes in different functional brain areas at different times in development. For example, the gray matter growth spurt just prior to puberty predominates in the frontal lobe, the seat of "executive functions", planning, impulse control and reasoning. In teens affected by a rare, childhood onset form of schizophrenia that impairs these functions, the MRI scans revealed four times as much gray matter loss in the frontal lobe as normally occurs. Unlike gray matter, the brain's white matter, wire-like fibers that establish neurons' long-distance connections between brain regions, thickens progressively from birth in humans. A layer of insulation called myelin progressively envelops these nerve fibers, making them more efficient, just like insulation on electric wires improves their conductivity.
Advancements in MRI image analysis are providing new insights into how the brain develops. UCLA's Dr. Arthur Toga and colleagues turned the NIMH team's MRI scan data into 4-D time-lapse animations of children's brains morphing as they grow up, the 4th dimension being rate-of-change.3 Researchers report a wave of white matter growth that begins at the front of the brain in early childhood, moves rearward, and then subsides after puberty. Striking growth spurts can be seen from ages 6 to 13 in areas connecting brain regions specialized for language and understanding spatial relations, the temporal and parietal lobes. This growth drops off sharply after age 12, coinciding with the end of a critical period for learning languages.
While this work suggests a wave of brain white matter development that flows from front to back, animal, functional brain imaging and postmortem studies have suggested that gray matter maturation flows in the opposite direction, with the frontal lobes not fully maturing until young adulthood. To confirm this in living humans, the UCLA researchers compared MRI scans of young adults, 23-30, with those of teens, 12-16. They looked for signs of myelin, which would imply more mature, efficient connections, within gray matter. As expected, areas of the frontal lobe showed the largest differences between young adults and teens. This increased myelination in the adult frontal cortex likely relates to the maturation of cognitive processing and other "executive" functions. Parietal and temporal areas mediating spatial, sensory, auditory and language functions appeared largely mature in the teen brain. The observed late maturation of the frontal lobe conspicuously coincides with the typical age-of-onset of schizophrenia-late teens, early twenties-which, as noted earlier, is characterized by impaired "executive" functioning.
Another series of MRI studies is shedding light on how teens may process emotions differently than adults. Using functional MRI (fMRI), a team led by Dr. Deborah Yurgelun-Todd at Harvard's McLean Hospital scanned subjects' brain activity while they identified emotions on pictures of faces displayed on a computer screen. Young teens, who characteristically perform poorly on the task, activated the amygdala, a brain center that mediates fear and other "gut" reactions, more than the frontal lobe. As teens grow older, their brain activity during this task tends to shift to the frontal lobe, leading to more reasoned perceptions and improved performance. Similarly, the researchers saw a shift in activation from the temporal lobe to the frontal lobe during a language skills task, as teens got older. These functional changes paralleled structural changes in temporal lobe white matter.
While these studies have shown remarkable changes that occur in the brain during the teen years, they also demonstrate what every parent can confirm: the teenage brain is a very complicated and dynamic arena, one that is not easily understood.

Pratibha Patil: Don't distort historical facts
Former president Pratibha Patil said that there should be no distortion of historical facts while making films
Former president Pratibha Patil said on Thursday that there should be no distortion of historical facts while making films. "Rani Padmavati was the symbol of women's honour and the honour should remain. Women should be respected," Patil said when asked about the recently released controversial film Padmaavat, which faced wrath of several Rajput groups, including Karni Sena. They were against the film for its alleged 'distortion of history'.

Women Artists
'The Divine Sarah' – Sarah Bernhardt, The First Artist Superstar
While we are all familiar with celebrity culture and can recognise all of the Kardashians from their silhouettes, the idea of 'celebrity' is not a new one. In the 19th century, a notorious French actress, who became known as 'The Divine Sarah' could arguably be called a celebrity: Sarah Bernhardt: The First Artist Superstar. But, was she more than just a 'superstar' or was there more of the artist about this incredible woman.
Sarah Bernhardt was born in France in 1844, the illegitimate daughter of a courtesan and, Henriette-Rosine Bernard, as she was baptised, was destined to lead a usual life.
Her original plan to be a nun, was not the path that her mother, by now a leading Parisian courtesan, saw for her, and it was with the backing of her patrons that Henriette was placed in an audition for the Paris Conservatory. Although not the most talented of actresses, her enthusiasm was enough for the committee to invite her to be a student.
Early performances with Comédie-Française were not successful and it was not long before she left the company following a violent argument with one of the leading ladies, Madame Nathalie.
From this point onward, Sarah Bernhardt veered between fame and infamy. She moved to another theatre company, The Gymnase but again, following a scandal, she decided that it was time to travel, and with letters of introduction, Sarah found herself associating with the higher echelons of society. An affair with a young Belgian aristocrat, Prince de Ligne, resulted in the birth of Sarah's only child, Maurice.
To support her young child, Sarah returned to the stage and the roles began to increase and her fame grew across Europe and America. With fame, it was inevitable that she would be immortalised in art.
With the term 'actress' often seen as a synonym of a prostitute, the fact that Sarah sat for respected artists would have given her acting career the legitimacy that we now take for granted. Here, French artist, Gustave Dore produces the first portrait of Sarah. Looking distinguished, wearing a beautiful high-necked dress coat, with her hair piled high under the feathered hat. The side view adds to this respectful aspect, as most portraits of the well-to-do would be positioned this way. By 1870, Sarah was wealthy enough to support during the Franco-Prussian War and supported a refuge for the injured soldiers returning from the front. It seems suitable that Dore should represent Sarah in this way.
This undated painting by George Rochegrosse, shows Bernhardt in the role of an odalisque. The sumptuous fabrics and furnishings are enticing and her languid pose invites us into this boudoir of delights. The Divine Sarah was known for her numerous, well-connected lovers, who included Bertie, Prince of Wales, novelist Victor Hugo.
A change of image occurs in this 1889 portrait, with its 'saintly' qualities; the gold leaf background was reminiscent of iconography and her head, gently leaning to the right, looks out at the viewer with such a small smile. Everything about this portrait demonstrates her versatile acting ability.
Large numbers of portraits were done of her roles, and here she plays Lady Macbeth as an exotic femme fatale, gazing up towards those spirits that she calls upon to "Unsex me here".
However, where Bernhardt's skill in representation came about was with her collaboration with a young man from the Czech born artist, Alphonse Mucha and a new art form.
In contrast to the prudery and hypocrisy of the Victorians towards the female form, Art Nouveau celebrated the body in its use of curvilinear forms, loose flowing hair and diaphanous clothing. Little wonder it was looked upon as shocking and decadent. Leading poster artist, Mucha, utilised this new found freedom. He believed that through the creation of beautiful works of art, life could also be transformed. This seems idealistic until we see its use in the more practical posters.
The example here, Gismonda, advertised an 1894 play, starring and directed by Sarah Bernhardt. Her Byzantine costume is perfect for this look-exotic, vibrant and colorful. The figure is placed in a stage and the elongated body, draped in this magnificent costume reveals her beauty and the nobility of her character. The lettering, too, is elongated and curvaceous with each letter holding its own space. The color palette reflects the opulence of the Byzantine era, golds and blues dominate. Bernhardt holds a palm leaf in her hand, symbolizing victory and the bearing of the character reflects that strength.
Poster after poster was produced in the next decade. Mucha had discovered a winning formula, and Sarah was all for supporting the young artist who, in turn, immortalised her into superstar status:
Not only would Sarah be immortalised on canvas but also in sculpture. Here we see two examples of works; the first by Louise Abbema, who was only 23 when she created this piece, and, it was rumoured, was Sarah's lover. The gentle stare of the actress gives a gravitas to someone who had now erupted onto the European stage.
The second by Jean-Léon Gérôme, is a stained marble bust; typical of Gérôme. He depicts Sarah as if she is on stage, costumed in male attire and the symbolic features around the bust add a heightened sense of the dramatic – a trait that never left her.
However, Sarah was not only keen on sharing her art through acting, she was also tempted into sculpture herself.
In the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC, there is this large marble sculpted by Sarah Bernhardt. A keen painter, Sarah had taken a keen interest in sculpting, and alongside her acting career, she took lessons with Mathieu Meusnier and Emilio Franchesci.
The National Museum of Women's Art has this to say about this piece:
"Après la tempête (After the Storm) depicts a Breton peasant woman cradling the body of her grandson who had been caught in a fisherman's nets. Sarah Bernhardt had seen this woman on the seashore and was moved by her story, which ended tragically with the death of the child. But in Bernhardt's sculpture the child's right hand grips the woman's garment, perhaps suggesting the possibility of a more hopeful ending."
When exhibited in the Salon of that year, it won the Silver Medal, which is not surprising as the rendering of the figures is so lifelike and full of pathos. The fact that there may be a happy ending demonstrates the positive attitude that Sarah had to life.
However, it is this gorgeous bas-relief marble that recently sold at Sotheby's in London for £308,750, that is truly stunning. Detailing the moment in Hamlet where Ophelia's death is described:
Her clothes spread wide;
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element: but long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene VII
The innocence of Ophelia is played down here, and Bernhardt creates a sensuous image of the young girl as if in the throws of ecstasy, rather than the moment of her death.
The turn of the century and Sarah Bernhardt turned her attention to film. Yet another example of the superstar embracing all forms of her art. The first film adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, starred Sarah, not as her famous stage role of Ophelia but as the eponymous hero himself:
This new art form was perfect for someone who knew how to emote on stage. Sarah was not afraid of embracing a new medium and threw herself into many film productions. This still from one of her films reveals how this new art form could bring the emotion to the masses.
One of her most famous roles was as the tragic courtesan in Camille and here we see her portraying her at the age of age of 65!
Despite being in her 60s, Sarah was still touring, making films and appearances all over the world. Sadly, an accident in 1906 resulted in gangrene and the leg was removed. But did this put a stop to the indefatigable siren? Carried on a white palanquin, Sarah was travelling France entertaining the troops and becoming the army's sweetheart!
Sarah continued acting right up until her death in 1923. Of all the actresses from the period, no one epitomises the idea of superstar more than she, and no one appears as versatile artistically as 'The Divine Sarah'.

- Karni Sena is a group made by and for the Rajputs
- The Karni Sena is famous for protesting violently against everything which they think is disgracing the Rajputs
- It is now high time to think if such groups really deserve all the hype that we provide them with
Till a few days ago, Karni Sena was all over the news, be it internet or television, everywhere there was the news of Karni Sena and the movie, Padmavati or the Padmaavat as was renamed later.
Karni Sena-Padmavati controversy went on for so long that now everybody knows about it, even those who neither care about politics nor Bollywood. The protest against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie was so strong it took the whole nation in its stride.
The movie was postponed and faced bans in many parts of the country. The protest was very severe and serious and bring out opinions out of everyone in the country.
Also Read: Everything You Needs To Know About 'Padmaavat' Movie and Its Review
Karni Sena chief, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, said that the movie portrays Rajputs in a bad light. The movie was disgracing their queen, Padmavati (which is believed to be fiction, and not reality at all) and was disrespectful to the Rajputs in general. All this without watching the movie.
After all the killing, nose-cutting and other kinds of threats, Karni Sena finally takes back their protest. The question arises, is Karni Sena really worth all this hype? But before that, what exactly is the origin of the Karni Sena?
Karni Sena – A brief history
Karni Sena or the Shri Rajput Karni Sena (SRKS) is a Rajput, caste-based organisation in India. It has a history of being involved in severe violent protests throughout the years to save the 'Rajputana grace.'
The Karni Sena chief, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, started the SRKS in 2005 as his attempt to mobilise and bring together the Rajput community in India.
The community famously demanded reservations for Rajput in the government jobs and also protested against the 'sidelining Rajput figures' in the textbooks. The SRKS also wanted to raise the stature of Rajput legislators in the Parliament.
Since then there have been some splits in the Karni Sena which has given birth to three of its fractions, each led by three different leaders.
Karni Sena – Really worth the hype or not?
'Padmavat' was not the first time, SRKS protested against any film or TV show involving the Rajputs. Previously, they have protested against the Ashutosh Gowariker movie, ' Jodhaa Akbar' however, they did not receive any apologies from the unapologetic film-maker.
The protest against the movie was strong and many cinema halls Rajasthan did not show the movie. The ones which did were violently vandalised by the Sena.
Also Read: Censor Board calls two veteran historians to view Padmavati
A similar protest was seen against the serial, 'Jodhaa Akbar' by Ekta Kapoor. The reason was same, defamation of the Rajputs.
Throughout the years, SRKS has done nothing but indulged in irrational demands and protests. It is nothing more than an anti-social element in the Indian society. Where people are trying to rise above caste and reservations, groups like these are doing nothing but hindering the path towards social equality.
Groups like these perform protests and issues threats for the sole reason of seeking publicity and attention. But, do we really need to give attention to these groups when there are more pressing matters that we as a country need to pay attention to?
Indians and Indian media need to start paying attention to the issues which really matters. Caste-based groups like SRKS do nothing but hamper the peace of our country. It is now high time that we stop reacting and start thinking if they really deserve all the hype that they get.

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers promo preview for the week of January 14 tease that we'll see a tale of two mothers. One will be dealing with terrible, soul-crushing grief and the other will be given a life-changing opportunity. Naturally, Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) will be the mom in mourning. She'll continue to lean on Brooke Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) as she misses her precious little girl.
Hope will get support from other loved ones this week as well. She'll do everything she can to process losing Beth Spencer and try to move on. Unfortunately, that won't be easy. That's especially true since Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is about to hijack Hope's dream!
Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady) stunned Dr. Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo) by showing her a baby out of nowhere. Taylor was confused, but Reese will clear things up for her next week.
He'll probably insist that this is some poor abandoned child who needs a loving home. Since Reese knows Steffy is looking to adopt, he'll think she's the perfect fit.
Reese will bring in Florence – or "Flo" (Katrina Bowden) – a woman from his history who has adoption experience. She'll gladly pitch in on this, but we're betting she'll get a hefty cut of the money Reese's is angling for.
Whatever the case, Taylor will be oblivious to the fact that this has to be Beth. She'll go to Steffy and insist that this is her chance at giving Kelly Spencer (Zoe Pennington) a little sister.
Steffy will be taken aback by how fast all of this is happening. She may have concerns, but Taylor won't think Steffy should skip this shot. The baby's right there and waiting!
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Steffy will ultimately realize she could actually do it. She could give Kelly a special bond like the one Steffy used to have with her twin, Phoebe Forrester.
Steffy will move forward with the plan, so Taylor will likely be the one coughing up the cash. B&B fans know she'd pay any amount to ensure Steffy's happiness.
Steffy will get a baby, Reese will take care of his debt and Taylor will be proud to have played a role in it all. The only people who will suffer here are Hope and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton)!
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say some fantastic drama's ahead, so stay tuned. We'll give you updates as other B&B news comes in. Stick with the CBS soap and don't forget to check CDL often for the latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, updates, and news.

ROMEO MUST DIE. People who live under the disempowered delusion that "violence doesn't solve anything" have never enjoyed a Jet Li movie. Here, the kick-ass Black Mask hero breaks out of a Hong Kong prison to avenge his brother's death on the mean streets of San Francisco. Rival black and Chinese gang warfare provide the backdrop for this über-violet ballet of martial arts, automatic weapons, expensive car crashes and high-powered explosives. The only parts that hurt, though, are Isaiah Washington and D.B. Woodside's cringingly bad dialogue. Despite the hangings, betrayals, innocent deaths and gunshot wounds, this remains a good-natured action-comedy built on Republican family values like free enterprise and the power of patriarchy. Woo hoo! As Li says while buying weapons and stealing cars on the open market, "What a country!" Also starring Aaliyah, Delroy Lindo and Russel Wong. -- Mari Wadsworth

Power creator Courtney Kemp on why she sees no separation between Shakespeare and episodic TV and how she shocked 50 Cent when she gave him what he wanted.
I don't really think there's a separation between high and low. I always prefer people who can do both things.
Power is a television show that proves for thug life what iconic movies like Goodfellas have proven for the Italian mob—sex, money and violence are not just titillating, they're the core of great drama. Power showrunner Courtney Kemp has long understood that some of the lowest human impulses make for the highest drama, and she knows the lofty stuff. An Ivy League grad with a masters in English literature from Columbia, she was reading Shakespeare plays when she was 10.
Did she understand them? Enough, she says in her characteristically straight-up deadpan, to know Iago was lying.
Power was born when Kemp's academic command of drama merged with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's ambition, street history, and surprising gift for story. The show, which is currently in its fourth season, inked for a fifth and likely more, is the saga of James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), owner of an elite New York City nightclub who leads a double life as a drug kingpin. Jackson plays antagonist as the mercilessly brutal crime boss Kanan Starks.
Cue the violence.
Kemp spoke with the Writers Guild of America West website about why she doesn't see a separation between Shakespeare and TV writing, how she learned to rely on a direct, unadorned writing style, and the time when she gave 50 Cent what he wanted, even he was shocked.
This show is a hit, the second highest rated show on premium cable and first on Starz for prime time. From a writing standpoint, what has this narrative done that you did not anticipate?
I would say that, in a broad strokes way, it's where I always thought we would be in terms of the story. What has presented itself as a big challenge is the double-edged sword of success. I had intended this series to only be five seasons—that was the original plan. As a result of being told by my network that we would probably have more seasons, I had to slightly adjust my plan for what's going to happen and when, and that's been a little bit more challenging. Then, of course, there are things you cannot predict, such as actors that really pop, and you want that character to live longer than you expected. Or storylines that come to a head, [with] only one way to go, but it breaks your heart because you have really fallen in love with the actor. Those are little things that I didn't anticipate before I took this job.
How tight was your original five-season arc when you started?
It wasn't super tight. It always had room, but when I first started it, I didn't know how to do things—this is my first showrunning job. So I didn't know what I was doing, I just was like, okay, I know how to tell long-form story. I knew the last scene of the series and I still know that scene. I made sure that scene is still relevant no matter how long we go. Now, we haven't been picked up for six seasons, I wanna be clear about that. But it just appears from all conversations that we will probably keep going.
You always had that light of knowing the ending shining through everything you're doing?
With a show that has heavy methodology like ours does, you have to. Without it, you're stuck just fumbling through the dark. I won't name any names, but there have been some shows that I have watched in the past where I [said], "They have no idea what they're doing. They're making it up as they go along." You can tell because it doubles back on itself, and they're leading in one direction and then they go in another. I don't think that's fair to the audience. So for sure I try to stay on a path.
You're Ivy League educated, you got a master's degree in English literature. And I read you were reading Shakespeare plays at 10. Is that true?
That is true because my brother brought home his college books, and I just read everything he brought home. So some of it was super inappropriate for me, but I was getting my hands on things. Let's be clear now, that was not showing that I had a lot of friends or that I went outside ever as a child.
Who cares? You trade that for being a genius. You're reading Shakespeare at 10 and comprehending it pretty well?
Comprehending the broad strokes. I could get that Iago was lying, yeah.
You've got this fairly lofty pedigree, a master's in English literature, Ivy League, but you write sex, money, and violence so well. In a lot of ways that's what Shakespeare was doing, he was kind of the first great TV writer. Do you separate those worlds, or do you feel that's why you're good at this?
I love what you said about Shakespeare being the first great TV writer. That's awesome. I would say no, there's no separation, because what I'm doing is melodrama—and that's what Shakespeare was doing. The highest possible stakes are all the things you just talked about—sex, money, and violence. I have said publicly that with Ghost—we have definitely read Richard III as a group and have talked about Richard III when we have plotted some things, because that's Ghost—he's ruthless! He does whatever he wants and then he has remorse about it. Like, "Oops, I probably shouldn't have killed that person." For real, son? Yeah, you probably shouldn't have. I do understand what you're saying. I wrote my master's thesis on Jane Austen, but my master's thesis was Jane Austen's Emma, the novel, the movie Emma, and Clueless. I wrote my master's on all three of those things. I don't really think there's a separation between high and low. I always prefer people who can do both things. The sexiest thing to me in a man is a man who can really get down with the hardest gangster rap, and we can still have an elevated conversation about Dangerous Liaisons. It's like a high-low thing.
So you don't see any separation there between high and low…?
No. What's the difference between Kanan killing Shawn—a father killing his son in the context of my show, and that happening in another great piece of art or literature? I don't know what the difference is. It's just the outside, it's just how you paint it...It's the same stuff, but different packaging. It's all the same kind of storytelling—people fall in love. and then people break up. That's what we do.
On paper, you and your master's degree and your Shakespeare make an interesting collaborator with a gangsta rapper like 50 Cent. Was it an immediate click with you guys, or was it hard at first?
I didn't know who I was meeting [at first], because when you meet someone famous, you know already that they're not what you know—the perception. But when I met him, he was so great at story and character—rappers and country music writers, those people are telling stories all the time. When you write a great rap song, you spit poetry that's creating a world. Part of the reason that rap has been so successful with non-urban audiences is that it creates a world and transports the person to those feelings and to that sense.
50 is one of the best rappers ever, he's one of the best storytellers ever. I didn't know that before I met him. How could I know? And the depth to which his specific life experiences resonated—not with mine in a literal sense, but I certainly had a complicated childhood of my own. It just happened to come with a certain zip code and a certain economic status. But in terms of feeling neglected or abandoned by your parents, or feeling isolated, feeling lonely, feeling different, yeah we had that in common. I wasn't literally abandoned by my parents. I would say I certainly spent a lot of time alone as a kid, and so did he. So we kind of clicked. He wasn't abandoned by his parents either—his mom was murdered because she was a drug dealer. We had a lot in common in terms of our taste and in terms of the storytelling we gravitated towards and in terms of the movies we liked. But I don't know why we clicked and became friends. We certainly didn't have to in order for us to work [together], and it has been beautiful. I do think that had I been male going into this situation, it would have been different, not because he has a different relationship with men, but because for the showrunner, it would have been more [trouble] trying to figure out who's the boss. But it turned out we can be mom and dad in a really easy way—we can adopt those roles really easily and not have to worry about that.
So it was actually easier, you being a woman?
It was, but I've never been a man before, so I haven't done it both ways. I do believe me being female made it easier for me to do this job and write about this world that I hadn't been in without feeling like I was a pretender or I was a fraud. Because I would be able to say, "Okay 50, tell me what's in your head, I'll put this on the pages, and in the scene." It didn't have to be about my ego, it didn't have to be about my version. It didn't have to be about which one of us is the boss, because there's a way for us both to have ownership in a really clean way.
Give me the anatomy if you can of how you work together on the writing? What's your system?
In the very beginning, I would sit on the phone with him, and he would talk, and I would listen, and I would write stuff down. I come from a journalism background, so I would do a profile. I would literally just interview him, and he would talk, and I would transcribe. I would take handwritten notes, and I would find little gems and would say, "Okay, say that over again." I would take those little pieces and make them story, or make them dialogue, or put them into character. We would just be on the phone for hours talking about everything. And over time, the time we had to talk became less, because we started to understand each other and the characters started to live on their own.
Because you ingested the life, the world?
Yes. Also one thing that definitely did take place was that he asked me to make Kanan the worst, most evil character on television. I said, "Are you sure?" And he was like, "Yep." And then when I went ahead and did it, at one point he was like, "Damn, this too?" I was like, "Yes, this is what you asked for."
That's the ultimate honor—you got 50 Cent to blanch.
I did.
In general, when, where, and how do you write? Do you have any idiosyncratic rituals?
The only thing that's idiosyncratic is that I hand write a lot. I do a lot of handwriting to get into the emotion of the scene, and then I get to the computer. I think of the drafts and typing and all that, that's really the math or the construction, but that's not the design. The best way to put it is that I would draw an idea for a building if I was an architect, but that's not the building plan. The building plan, the blueprint, is something different from the design. So when I write by hand, my head connects to my heart and goes through my hand and then the real emotion of the scene comes out on paper. But then when I get to rhythm, the algebra of the scene, that, I type.
So when you're writing out on a notepad, are you writing in prose style, or in dialogue? What's the format of your freehand writing?
The first writing on any page, if you open any of my notebooks from all the years of Power, they all say, "What the fuck am I trying to say?" I've written that about 100 times. What is the point of this scene? What am I trying to communicate? I'll write that over and over again. I literally have to get myself to drop down into it and ask myself the question, "What is the point of the scene?"
The other thing that's crucial for my writing is that I try not to say things in a flowery way. For example I have this scene in season one where Angela is saying to Ghost, "I love you, but I don't want to break up your marriage. I didn't get into this to break up your marriage." And I wrote that down, how does she say that? Not trying to make it cool or cute or sexy, but what is the emotion? What is the feeling? And just go at it.
So you don't want it to feel written or contrived, you want it to be, whomp, there it is?
It's actually easier. It's easier to get out of your own way, past your ego, if you just write it. If I were to say to you in this conversation, "Dylan, I want you to think I'm smart." That's way more honest and more interesting than if I said, "You know I went to two Ivy League schools?" Yeah, I could say that, but that's not as interesting as me saying, "I want you to think I'm smart," because now your response is more interesting. If you go right at it, you get more interesting stuff. You can always go back and make things more complicated if you want. But you don't have to—you can just have people say what they mean.
And it's more arresting, it has more power and immediacy.
Yes. See how well you said that? You must be a professional writer.
But back to the high and low, certainly one of the things about Shakespeare and Austin is a love for beautiful language…With your English lit background, was this direct, un-flowery approach always easy for you or something you had to learn?
That was probably an adjustment I made back as a story editor. When I worked for [Dawson's Creek, Everwood showrunner] Greg [Berlanti], he was the one who shocked me out of it. And I was writing broadcast TV too at the time. He was like, "Just write it. Don't get into your head about how it has to sound, just write it." You can go back if you need to and make it more writerly if you want to, but get the real stuff out on the page.
The other thing is, when you read prose as a English literature major, all that flowery stuff gets you closer to the emotion because it's prose, and you're reading it, and you can see it, and it's going inside you, and you're digesting it in that way. When you watch two people talk on screen, part of where you're getting the emotion is the performance—what their eyes look like, their gestures, the sound of their voice. So the dialogue should only communicate that which cannot be communicated by the rest of the visual image, and the sound if you put in music.
Literature is just on the page, so the prose has to supply the sound and the smell and the taste, and all of that for you. With dialogue in television, you got a lot of stuff right there that you're looking at and listening to, so the dialogue shouldn't be big and flowery. In fact it should simple. "Love is never having to say you're sorry"—it should be that. It shouldn't be more complicated than that, because you got Ali MacGraw crying as she says it.

Greater Manchester's ambulance service has gone from one of the worst in the country to one of the best – after being threatened with huge fines.
The North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) came under fire from health bosses last year after failing to get to enough 999 calls on time. Now, new figures reveal the service has turned its performance around – and is beating government targets.
The news comes after the trust that runs NWAS was given an ultimatum in August to improve - or face a £3.8m fine.
Paramedics are supposed to get to life-threatening emergencies within eight minutes – and trusts must hit the standard 75 per cent of the time.
But NWAS failed to reach that target in last May and June, achieving only 73.6 per cent.
Health chiefs were set to impose the fine if things did not improve.
Now it has emerged the trust has hit its target every month since – achieving 76.9 per cent in July, 80 per cent in August, 78 per cent in September, 77.4 per cent in October and 78 per cent in November.
That was the second-best performance in the country, behind only South East Coast Ambulance Service on 80.3 per cent.
NWAS said it had met the target for December, too – although figures are not yet available.
Director of service delivery Cath Galaska said: "The North West Ambulance Service is very pleased to confirm that despite an increase in our activity during the summer of 2011, we have been performing well and exceeding the government target for Category A life-threatening calls for the year to date.
'We have also experienced an extremely mild November and December compared to previous years, and have therefore not yet had to contend with severe snow and ice.
She said NWAS had invested 'a great deal in resources and planning' to improve its performance, and had developed an urgent care service to deal with less serious incidents, allowing paramedics to concentrate on responding to life-threatening emergencies.
It had also trained staff 'to allow them to make more clinical decisions so that patients get the most suitable care for them'.
