Labour contender Long-Bailey vows to scrap House of Lords
Labour leadership hopeful Rebecca Long-Bailey has told Sky News she would abolish the House of Lords if she got to Downing Street.
In an exclusive interview with Sophy Ridge on Sunday, the shadow business secretary said while there needed to be checks and balances at Westminster, having "a set of completely unelected people doing that" was not right.
Ms Long-Bailey also signalled she would not stand in the way of a second referendum on Scottish independence and admitted she had been "devastated" at Labour losing the trust of the Jewish community over the party's failure to tackle antisemitism.
Her comments came as the race continues to succeed Jeremy Corbyn, who is stepping down after the party's worst election defeat since 1935.
Candidates need 22 Labour MPs or MEPs to nominate them by Monday in order to progress in the contest.
Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer remains the clear frontrunner among Labour MPs, being the first of the six contenders to meet the threshold.
Ms Long-Bailey and the backbenchers Lisa Nandy and Jess Phillips have also got enough backing.

'We weren't good enough': Long-Bailey on antisemitism
But shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, with 10 nominations, and Clive Lewis, with just four, appear to be struggling.
Speaking to Ridge, Ms Long-Bailey said: "I do want to abolish the House of Lords and we'll be rolling out as my campaign progresses how we intend to really shake up that constitutional package.
"There would need to be checks and balances in place but to have a set of completely unelected people doing that I don't think is right."
She also indicated if she became prime minister she would not stand in the way of a fresh independence vote north of the border.
Ms Long-Bailey said: "I'm fully committed to the union and I don't think that should be shaken in any way.
"But ultimately the people of Scotland need to make the case and they've got their own parliament to determine whether they want to push that and that will be for me as a prime minister to review and to look at it.
"I wouldn't want to inhibit the democracy of people because that's one of the most fundamental pillars that we're proud of in this country."
Long-Bailey 'stands for pure Corbynism' – Watson
She also stressed the need for the party to "very hard and very robustly" to tackle antisemitism in the party.
Ms Long-Bailey said: "I was absolutely devastated, as many of our members, were to knock on the doors of Jewish community members who said that just they didn't trust the Labour Party anymore and we do need to work hard to rebuild that trust but that requires action."
She said Jeremy Corbyn bears personal responsibility for the problem and expressed her unhappiness at the way it had been handled.
She said: "I wasn't happy with the way our process was being run I'll be honest, I don't think we were dealing with complaints quickly enough and I think that's quite clear, I've been quite vocal about that.
"I also felt that there should have been a level of independence to the allegations, the way they were investigated."
Corbyn rated '0 out of 10' for election
Despite being seen as the favourite of the Labour left and having secured the backing of the grassroots Momentum group, Ms Long-Bailey rejected being the "continuity Corbyn candidate".
She said: "It annoys me when people say that and unfortunately as a woman, it annoys me even more.
"I'm a person in my own right… I would describe myself as a socialist."
Mr Lewis, who faces being knocked out of the race, told Ridge that part of the campaign to leave the EU "had racism at its heart".
He said: "I think part of the Brexit campaign, and part of the undertone of Brexit, from some politicians, Nigel Farage and others, had racism at its core and its heart.
"They used it as a mechanism to divide our communities, to divide our country."
Labour needs Corbyn loyalist like a 'hole in head'
He added: "How many people of colour woke on the day after the referendum with a sense of dread because of what had happened?
"Ultimately our country had chosen to listen to Boris Johnson, someone who has a track record of racist commentary, of giving credence to racism."

Ms Thornberry has said she is confident she can secure the backing of enough Labour MPs "so long as I don't get any slippage".
"It is a long contest and it will have its ups and downs. I have been a slow starter, but I did start from a standing start after the general election," she told BBC's Andrew Marr.
Meanwhile, Ms Phillips has suspended a member of her team over "completely unacceptable" tweets, as she stressed the need for zero-tolerance to antisemitism.
In a statement, the prominent backbencher said: "This is the right thing to do and the only way to start building a bridge again with the Jewish community."

This course can only be taken by students who have received prior permission from the MA admissions committee to make use of audiovisual means during their fieldwork, and to present the findings of their MA-research project in a short film (or an audiovisual production of another kind), as well as a research paper. As a rule, the MA admissions committee will only grant such permission to students who have completed the CA/DS BA course 'Visual Methods' on time and with above average marks (either as part of a regular BA CA/DS, or as a part of a pre-master CA/DS). In exceptional cases the MA admissions committee can take courses taken elsewhere, or prior work experience, into account as well. Presently, no more than twelve (12) students can be admitted annually.
Audiovisual means can add an important dimension to ethnographic research, and add new dimensions to observation and interviewing. As significantly, such records can play a role in the analysis that anthropologists produce based on their fieldwork. Texts written can be supported by edited video, or anthropologists can tell convey their analysis through an ethnographic video film that is seen more or less independent from text. This course prepares students for the use of audiovisual means during their MA-fieldwork. How can making audiovisual recordings help you to answer your research question? How does making audiovisual recordings change the circumstances of fieldwork? How can audiovisual recordings made as a part of ethnographic research contribute to the communication of research findings? This course combines theory with practice, and places great emphasis on hands on training, to develop skills regarding the recording of images and sound.
To critically explore the possibilities offered by audiovisual means, both in relation to conducting anthropological fieldwork, and to tell a story using audiovisual means based on such fieldwork.
Introductory meeting: September 4 and 11, 2015. From 9-15 h at room 1B17.
Attendance of all seminar sessions and tutorials is required!
A bench fee is not required.
Students will need to budget for video tapes / memory cards to be used during their fieldwork (a maximum of 15 hours).
4 written assignments, each of which contributes to the drafting of the research proposal (50% of the final grade). – 4 audiovisual assignments, relating to specific audiovisual skills required for the fieldwork (50% of the final grade).
Students are required to register for this course on Blackboard but do not need to register on uSis.

Measurement and Modeling of Vertically Resolved Aerosol Optical Properties and Radiative Fluxes Over the ARM SGP SiteIn order to meet one of its goals - to relate observations of radiative fluxes and radiances to the atmospheric composition - the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program has pursued measurements and modeling activities that attempt to determine how aerosols impact atmospheric radiative transfer, both directly and indirectly. However, significant discrepancies between aerosol properties measured in situ or remotely remain. One of the objectives of the Aerosol Intensive Operational Period (TOP) conducted by ARM in May 2003 at the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in north central Oklahoma was to examine and hopefully reduce these differences. The IOP involved airborne measurements from two airplanes over the heavily instrumented SGP site. We give an overview of airborne results obtained aboard the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) Twin Otter aircraft. The Twin Otter performed 16 research flights over the SGP site. The aircraft carried instrumentation to perform in-situ measurements of aerosol absorption, scattering, extinction and particle size. This included such novel techniques as the photoacoustic and cavity ring-down methods for in-situ absorption (675 nm) and extinction (675 and 1550 nm) and a new multiwavelength, filter-based absorption photometer (467, 530, 660 nm). A newly developed instrument measured cloud condensation nucleus concentration (CCN) concentrations at two supersaturation levels. Aerosol optical depth and extinction (354-2139 nm) were measured with the NASA Ames Airborne Tracking 14-channel sunphotometer. Furthermore, up-and downwelling solar (broadband and spectral) and infrared radiation were measured using seven individual radiometers. Three up-looking radiometers werer mounted on a newly developed stabilized platform, keeping the instruments level up to aircraft pitch and roll angles of approximately 10(exp 0). This resulted in unprecedented continuous vertical profiles of radiative fluxes, which we will compare to modeled fluxes using the aforementioned data as input.

Complexities You Can Count On
Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 8:45PM
Richard Terrell (KirbyKid) in Depth & Complexity, Emergence, Trial & Error
Recently, I've talked about complexities quite a lot. I've explained how they make games unique, but they also stress knowledge skills. Too many complexities can throw off the balance of the skill spectrum while slowing down the rate the player can progress. Complexities create nuance, and they're orthogonal to gameplay depth. Our minds can only process so many "bits" of game data/complexities at a time. And when we're trying to store information into our LTM (long term memory) we have to compress or code it. While coding information our overall mental capabilities drop. Because we have such limited STM (short term memory), analyze, and code/decode abilities, games more complex than Pong become increasingly difficult to manage.
Complexities (game rules) are in every line of gameplay code, but what does this mean exactly? Mario's JUMP mechanic seems simple enough, but it's full of complexities. Aside from the horizontal/vertical speed, acceleration complexities, and maximum speed limitations, there are squashing enemy, bouncing off of bricks, breaking bricks, JUMPing off of jump stands, JUMPing against solid objects, and DUCK+JUMPing complexities (additional rules/parameters). So does this mean that Mario's JUMP is enough to overload a new player? Does this mean the mechanic is too complex? Of course not.
Not all complexities are weighted equally. The arc, speed, and feel of Mario's JUMP is more important to learn than complexities like how Mario JUMPs of of jump pads. Furthermore, the more intuitive complexities are, the more we can relate to the game system with learned experiences as opposed to learning new arbitrary interactions.
The better we understand how we learn the smarter we can play and design video games. But what does it mean to be smart? What does it mean to learn quickly? Effectively? I started to investigate these ideas in my "From Unintuitive to Eureka" series. In part 5, I logged a detailed play through of the puzzle game 3D Logic. The idea was great, but the game was too complex. So we're trying again with a game that's much simpler.
Behold, doodle god! (don't play it quite yet). This indie flash game has extremely simple gameplay. Select two squares to create new elements. Elements are automatically organized into 1 of 14 groups. The more elements you create, the more you have to work with. A pair may create more than one product. Essentially, there's a fixed amount of possible elements (115) that you can create.
This game starts with a handful of groups and elements and thus very few possible combinations. But the shear number of possible combinations grows as you progress. To manage, we suss out the game logic to help narrow our trial and error attempts. Some combinations are scientific, some are thematically logical, others are creative puns, and some will make you question the game logic. Here's where things get interesting.
According to a scientist from the radio lab podcast on limits we, humans, don't have the capacity to understand very large numbers. Likewise, we have trouble understanding the microscopic processes of cellular activity even with the aid of super "Eureka" computers because there are so many dynamic, lightening fast, biochemical interactions on the cellular level. So the shear number of factors/elements in a system can be the difference between understanding and nothing.
With a game like doodle god players can smoothly move from an experience with manageable complexities to an overwhelming, unintuitive amount. You start off with 4 elements and 10 possible pairs. 5 gives you 15. 10 gives you 55 and so on. If you were trying to find the 115th combination blindly, you'd have 6,555 pairs to consider. Certainly somewhere around 100 possible combinations, it becomes very difficult to keep track of your progress in your head. Even at your best, you'll have to divide your brain power between finding new pairs and storing your old attempts.
What I just described is a simplified example. In actuality, figuring out all the possible combinations in doodle god is more like uncovering a branching tree rather than a spread sheet. If you're human, you will get stuck at some point playing this game. Trial and error is a big part of the experience, which naturally means your self motivated, branching, experimentation will lead you astray. In fact, I bet you'll start repeating known combinations at around 15, 25, 50, and 80 found elements (assuming you get that far). You will also either get distracted by new branching possibilities or forget which possible branches to try.
The beauty of this experiment is that you can feel the effects that increasing complexities have on the gameplay and your mind. Since each new element adds one more bit of complexity and many additional possible combinations to the gameplay, you can get a feel for the individual impact each complexity has. And when things get out of your control, you can practically count the limitations of your mind.
If you decide to play doodle god and you want to get the most out of this opportunity you'll need a friend to assist you. As you play a new game of doodle god for 30 minutes (preferably for the first time) have your friend discretely draw a tree of your progress. You might need to play a bit slowly so your friend has time to write everything down. Every mismatch, hint, and visit to the reactions history page should be tallied. When you pause in confusion, that should be recorded as well. After 30 minutes are up you can use the reactions history page for more data.
Or you can just watch your friend play and discuss afterwards. If you don't have any help, just play the game now for 30 minutes before continuing on. The picture below is a spoiler.
Click to enlarge. *SPOILERS*
The above image is a tree of my sister's progress after 30 minutes. Here's some data on my sister's experience with the game.
In about 30 minutes she managed to reach 23 elements. At around 15 minutes she had 20 elements.
Her thorough method of systematic trial and error quickly became unfeasible (she realized).
At around 15 total elements, she switched to more conceptually guided trial and error method.
At around 21 total elements, she began conceptually reverse engineering possible target elements to find new elements.
At around 10 elements, she tried out the history and hint features. Afterwards the frequency of their use increased.
When the logic of pairs was unclear or when there was little logic behind the matches, her systematic trial and error method was abandoned.
The red numbers in the image above refer to the number of times the pair was submitted.
She actually said this at one point after making a combination suggested long before by a 3rd party: "You see that I got 21 [elements]? You think I can store that in my head?"
For any situation involving learning in your future, consider these questions. How smart do you have to be before you realize you can't keep many complexities straight in your head? How intelligent do you have to be before you begin to greatly augment your mental capabilities by taking notes and breaks while learning. What will you do the next time on the verge of a situation increasing in complexity beyond your abilities?

VIDEO: "Tibet is the Willem Dafoe's Dick of Planet Earth," Ft. John Oliver
It's pretty big.
Michael Deveto
John Oliver last Sunday talked about disputed territory between Tibet and China, referring to the territory as, "confusingly big." He then juxtaposed Tibet's size with Willem Dafoe's dick: "too big… everybody got very confused when they saw it." All dicks aside, the statement actually makes sense in regards to Tibet's size. This is because Tibetan exiles believe the territory of Tibet is larger than the Chinese perceive. However, Oliver was able to sit down with the Dalai Lama and discuss Chinese oppression. But most importantly, the Dali Lama told Oliver he cured Mongolia's alcoholism with horse milk.
Who is this Robed Man?
The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is a Tibetan monk of the Gelug school, a new school of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibet's history is riddled with Chinese oppression that eventually forced the Dalai Lama to live in exile in India. He's a profound spiritual leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. He has traveled the world and has spoken about the welfare of Tibetans, women's rights, sexuality, and other topics.
Tenzin Gyatso may be the last Dalai Lama. In order for a new Dalai Lama to be found, a Panchen Lama must be named, but he was taken into custody by Chinese authorities. The Chinese have also chosen a pseudo Panchen Lama but most Tibetan's refuse to acknowledge him. And Gyatso is perfectly fine with being the last of his lineage.
Lastly, check out this article on John Oliver's coverage of Trump and Putin.

Share transfers and investor services:
Share transfers in the physical form are presently registered and returned to the shareholders within 12 days of receipt of valid documents. The company's equity shares are available for trading in the dematerialised mode only. The equity shares have been admitted with The National Security Depository Ltd., and Central Depository Services (I) Ltd., bearing ISIN No.INE481G01011. Request for share transfer, sub-division, consolidation, transmission, issue of duplicate share certificates and any investor grievances can be addressed to the registered office or to the office of the Registrar & Transfer Agents.
Benefits of holding shares in dematerialised form:
In the depository system, the ownership and transfer of securities takes place by means of electronic book entries. This system rids the capital market of the dangers related to handling of paper.
Elimination of bad deliveries Elimination of all risks associated with physical certificates No stamp duty Immediate transfer and registration of securities Faster settlement cycle Faster disbursement of non-cash corporate benefits like rights, bonus, etc. Reduction in brokerage by many brokers for trading in dematerialised securities Reduction in handling of huge volumes of paper Periodic status reports for the DPs Elimination of problems related to change of address of investor, transmission etc. Ease in portfolio monitoring Freezing the depository accounts
How to get physical shares dematerialised:
Dematerialisation is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited in the investor's account with his/her Depository Participant (DP). An investor will have to first open an account with a DP and then request for the dematerialisation of certificates by filling up a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF), which is available with the DP and submitting the same along with the physical certificates. The investor has to ensure that before the certificates are handed over to the DP for demat, they are defaced by marking "Surrendered for Dematerialisation" on the face of the certificates. Shares are dematerialised by the Company within 7 days of the receipt of the DRN and the physical shares from the DP, if the same are found in order.
NECS Facility:
The Company uses ''Electronic Clearing Service'' (ECS) facility for remitting dividend to its shareholders wherever available.
In terms of a notification issued by the Reserve Bank of India, with effect from 1stOctober, 2009, remittance of dividend through ECS is replaced by "National Electronic Clearing Service" (NECS). Banks have been instructed to move to the NECS platform. The advantages of NECS over ECS include faster credit of remittance to the beneficiary's account, coverage of more bank branches and ease of operations.
NECS essentially operates on the new and unique bank account number, allotted by banks post implementation of Core Banking Solutions (CBS) for centralised processing of inward instructions and efficiency in handling bulk transactions.
To enable remittance of dividend through NECS, members are requested to provide their new account number allotted to them by their respective banks after implementation of CBS. The account number must be provided to the Company or its RTA in respect of shares held in physical form and to the Depository Participants in respect of shares held in electronic form.
Shareholders residing in other cities are requested to intimate the company under the signature of the sole/first joint holder, the following information, so that the bank account and name and address of the bank can be printed on the dividend warrant:
Name of sole/first joint holder and folio number Particulars of the bank account:
Name of bank Name of branch Complete address of the bank with pin code number Account type, whether savings (SB) or current account (CA)
The company offers nomination facility to its shareholders. A nomination form is enclosed herewith for the convenience of shareholders interested in using the nomination facility.
Non-resident Indian shareholders:
Non-resident members are requested to immediately notify
An Indian address for sending all communications, if not provided so far Any change in their residential status on return to India for permanent settlement Particulars of their NRE bank account with a bank in India, if not given earlier
Change in status from non-resident to resident:
On change of status from 'non-resident' to 'resident' Indian, the shareholder should notify the Company giving his/her Indian address. Change of status is effected only when signature of the first registered holder on the request letter matches with the specimen signature recorded with the Company.
Change in status from resident to non-resident:
In case of change of status of the shareholder from 'resident' Indian to 'non-resident', an undertaking must be given to the Company not to seek repatriation of dividend and sale proceeds on shares held.
Change of address:
Shareholders are required to inform the Company in writing of any change in their address, quoting their folio number.
Change of address is effected only when the signature of the first registered holder on the request letter matches with the specimen signature recorded with the Company.
Change of address of shares held in the demat form should be notified only to the DP.
Consolidation of shareholding into one folio:
Shareholders may apply to the Company for consolidation of their shareholding under different folios into one folio.
Correspondence with the Company:
Shareholders should quote their folio number or DP and Client ID numbers in all correspondence with the Company. All correspondences regarding shares and debentures should be addressed to the Registered Office of the Company/Office of the Registrar & Share Transfer Agents.
Nomination of shares:
Section 72 of the Companies Act, 2013, extends a nomination facility to individuals holding shares in physical form in Companies. Shareholders, in particular those holding shares in a single name should, in their own interest, avail of this facility by giving the particulars of their nomination in the prescribed nomination form.

Train and Tram Travel
DESTINATIONS ireland dublin train-and-tram-travel
As a delightfully compact city, Dublin does not have—or need—a subway system. But its LUAS trams and DART electric railway are great ways to get around the city center and beyond. The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) connects Dublin with the fishing village of Howth to the north and the seaside resort of Bray to the south on a fast, efficient, superscenic train line that hugs the coastline, providing one spectacular view after another. But this line also runs through the center city with three convenient stations and then continues to such seaside destinations as Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, and Bray.
As for the LUAS tram service, it runs two lines right into the heart of the city, facilitating easy access to sights like the Guinness Storehouse (James Street stop), O'Connell Street (the Northside Abbey Street stop), and St. Stephen's Green.
Tickets can be bought at stations, but it's also possible to buy weekly rail tickets, as well as weekly or monthly rail-and-bus tickets, from the Irish Rail Travel Centre. Leap Cards work on the buses, DART, and LUAS.
Connolly Station. Amiens St., Dublin North, Dublin, Co. Dublin, 1.
DART. 01/836–6222; www.irishrail.ie/dart.
Heuston Station. End of Victoria Quay, Dublin West, Dublin, Co. Dublin, 8.
Irish Rail–Iarnod Éireann. 01/836–6222; www.irishrail.ie.
LUAS. 1800/300–604; www.luas.ie.
Pearse Station. Westland Row, Dublin South, Dublin, Co. Dublin, 2.
Train and Tram Fares and Schedules
DART service starts at 6:10 am and runs until 11:30 pm; at peak periods—8 to 9:30 am and 5 to 7 pm—trains arrive every five minutes. At other times of the day, the intervals between trains are 15 to 25 minutes. Individual fares begin at €2.20 and range up to €5.90 one-way. You'll pay a heavy penalty for traveling the DART without a ticket. LUAS trams run from 5:30 am until 12:30 am Monday to Saturday and 7 am until 11:30 pm on Sunday. They come every 7 to 10 minutes at peak times and every 15 to 20 minutes after that. Fares range from €1.90 to €3.10 according to the number of zones traveled.
Trains to and from Dublin
Irish Rail (Iarnród Éireann) runs intercity trains connecting Dublin with the rest of Ireland. Connolly Station provides train service to and from the east coast, Belfast, the north (with stops in Malahide, Skerries, and Drogheda), the northwest, and some destinations to the south, such as Wicklow. Heuston Station is the place for trains to and from the south and west including Galway, Limerick, and Cork. Trains also run from here to Kildare Town, Newbridge, and other west-of-Dublin stops.

by Orio Giarini and Mircea Malitza | 04 January 2016 | In: Cadmus - Vol 2 - Issue 5
The Double Helix of Learning and Workby Orio Giarini and Mircea Malitza is a report to the Club of Rome first published by UNESCO in 2003. It advances fundamental paradigm-changing ideas in the field of education. Drawing inspiration from the double helix structure of DNA, the authors seek to strengthen the relationship between education and employment in order to bring 'The Knowledge Society' within reach. This article is an abridged version of the last chapter being published in Cadmus.
Chapter 5: "A Call to Action"
5.1. All the Ingredients are Available
The solution to the problem of Learning and Work is likely to emerge from the existing elements. It might be the following: the modularization of the curriculum with the aim of creating a personal choice system to be constructed by the individual along his or her active life, between the ages of 16 and 76, to consist of alternative sequences of work and learning. At the dawn of the Twenty-First Century, a vast number of experiments, debates, and initiatives are underway and are aimed at devising solutions to the problems of education and work. The problems in question are also being given priority on governmental agendas. International organizations are focusing on them. Both the pressure of public opinion and the rapid pace of technological and economic change are calling out for solutions. The relationship between education and work is being followed, with great concern, by private companies, and it is catalyzing the involvement of civil society. The main issues for reflection are listed in the table below:
Education and Work: The Principal Issues
Education Education and work Work
Curriculum reform Assessments Employment
Modularity Indicators Active knowledge
Shift to learning Financing Non-monetarized work
Optional and choice Education for work Non-monetized work
learning Job-oriented education Participatory work
Lifelong education and Public and private Inclusion in management
learning Knowledge Part-time work
Interdisciplinarity On the job learning
Formal, informal, non- IC Technology
formal Adult innovation
Imparting knowledge Recurrent education
Anticipatory learning
Participatory learning
Open institutions
This list of themes regarding education and work is about as comprehensive as possible. The evolution of the concepts in question and the degree of their recognition are also important. Who would have guessed that the aspiration of humankind to permanent education would give rise to a concept that would become an official programme (i.e., lifelong education)? In the world of politics, bulky chapters are devoted to such items in the electoral platforms of various parties. National and international meetings are tackling these issues more extensively than ever before.
The relatively complete agenda of lifelong education and the energies dedicated to the analysis of its implications are aided by an additional fortuitous circumstance. The debate is not only theoretical, but also action-oriented. It has gradually embraced each and every component of the solution. All the ingredients are now present. Among the myriad experiments, there are some that asymptotically come close to the solution. The overall picture is still in a state of flux, waiting to be crystallized.
Either of the two parts of the helix have multiple exits and points of entry. Transit takes place within a common assessment system, based on cumulative credits and on a funding framework resulting from co-operation between the public and the private sectors. And yet, the solution is not there, and the coagulation point remains beyond reach; moreover, further progress is currently slowing down. The saturation of the mixture is leading to dysfunction.
Thus, the stated and acknowledged objectives tend to turn into empty rhetoric. The proponents of the idea sooth their consciences by delivering noble speeches. Experiments do not advance because of a lack of communication. They appear as isolated spots in an indifferent mass, held to ransom by traditional routines. The acquired expertise moves in closed circles, the case, for instance, with modularization in vocational and postgraduate education.
In almost all cases, experiments amount to ad hoc additions to the mainstream curriculum (a little bit of genetics in secondary education, more civic culture, visits to or practice in industrial enterprises). Teachers seem to treat these activities with condescension and tolerate them providing they do not interfere with the system of class-teacher one-stream curriculum.
Even when solutions meritoriously address previously neglected problems, they are mostly inefficient, if not downright wrong.
Let us take, for instance, the question of children with special needs. The old terms bearing a connotation of exclusion (e.g., handicapped or disabled) have been abandoned. A step forward was taken at a conference held in Salamanca in 1994. It stated a valid principle; those children have to be integrated into the regular system, considering that normality should be construed as recognition of human diversity, and that children with special needs should not be confined to institutions and marked as unable to live a normal life. Steps toward integration into the regular school system have already been taken, and the teachers have been instructed to extend adequate treatment to all children. Nevertheless, integration within a system with a single curriculum may give rise to greater problems than those encountered in special schools. Discrimination will, in fact, be eradicated only when each pupil is able to have an adequate curriculum adapted to his or her specific situation and needs. In the light of the personal curriculum solution, all children are special, and each one has special needs.
The integration of minorities has been and still is being seriously considered by sociologists and government agencies. To quote a representative of a minority group, "integration is another name for assimilation". Even so, a personalized itinerary provides solutions such as choices of modules relevant to the community language, history, customs, and beliefs within the general framework of the educational offer.
In that perspective, the issue of non-discrimination finds a natural solution. The idea was tenaciously pursued at the end of the Twentieth Century through official programmes aimed at Education for All which simply implemented the provisions of existing international agreements starting with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since the notion of an individual itinerary applies to everybody, it eliminates any source of discrimination. The Education for All programme is not limited to the elimination of discrimination from the educational cycle; it also points to the inclusion of all age groups, at least through age 76. In this vision, curricula should be based on modules for all the periods of a person's life. A possible, but yet unexplored, result could be an extension by twenty years of the productive life span of the adult generations.
The multiplication of optional subjects at all the levels of the educational system can be regarded as an encouraging early result in this process. It reveals the capacity of the educational system to renew itself through cooperation with the community, with parents, and with interested companies. The decision-makers now have to catch up by drafting new laws and introducing systemic modifications into such areas as evaluation, diplomas, and financing schemes. We are witnessing the first signs of flexibility in an effort to come closer to the individual by enabling him or her to exercise his or her essential faculty, that of free choice. Enhanced flexibility is required when it becomes necessary to tackle the more sensitive areas of education.
Many reformist trends around the world have approached the issue of education for work. Special classes were allocated to visits, mostly passive ones, to workplaces in factories and service enterprises, to institutions of public administration, to hospitals, and even to the traffic police. As a result, students became more aware of, and more familiar with, the reality of work. At best, those visits awakened in them a certain interest or vocation. Entertainment and sports have, so far, been more successful in offering attractive heroic models for the young. So have other models of shortcuts to wealth, fame, and prestige, leaving behind the doubtful fascination of work.
A possible experiment could focus on the introduction of occupational modules for children aged 10 to 16, with more advanced levels for students over 16, focusing on such occupations as: electronic engineer, programmer, graphic designer, nurse, salesperson, tourist guide, gardener, farmer, etc. The list is endless, and it coincides with the standard record of professions. Why should recommended hobbies concentrate only on such activities as the breeding of birds or of rabbits? Should a greater degree of free choice not make a young person happy to have earned a professional diploma by the age of 15? Basically, the idea is to gradually assimilate amateurism and hobbies within the curriculum, thus providing a pleasant and attractive introduction to the sphere of work.
Non-formal education and informal education no longer need theoretical recognition, but they remain largely unexplored even though they are attainable with modest means. Where are the "Do-it-yourself" shops which would enable young people to get tremendous satisfaction and pride from having built, from detached parts, their own radio sets, portable sound recorders, home appliances, mosaic-covered tables, computers, etc.? Where are the modules for the organization and equipping of a personal science laboratory (physics, chemistry, natural sciences)? While the schema of modular education is bound to give rise to new industries, such as the module industry, the new concept calls for the establishment of an auxiliary industry producing the wherewithal for informal activities.
It should be noted that all the topics that are being explored by educational research today—formal, informal, and non-formal learning, open and distance learning, recurrent education, optional choice, and modular learning—are increasingly relevant for that area of lifelong education which addresses the adult person.
The promise that learning through experience holds for scientific knowledge is still being mostly ignored. Whereas experiments in the school laboratory under a teacher's supervision are mandatory, according to the curriculum, the value of exercises in problem solving related to theoretical subjects is played down. In fact, the exercise book is not the auxiliary addendum to the theoretical textbook but rather the other way around. The winners of contests in mathematics, physics, or chemistry will confirm this reality.
However, the most intense and perceptible change of attitude is occurring with the coming generation. Something perceptible and significant has happened, directly linked to education and work, for the structural reform of which the young could be the main asset.
Scholars doing research on the impact of technology on the younger generation (the United States provided a most appropriate field of study) suggested that, following the baby boomers, the people born in the aftermath of the Second World War, the generation of the 1960s and 1970s, have their own particular characteristics. The former, the baby boomers, bear the imprint of television and of its confusing, non-interactive influence. That generation produced radical and revolutionary youth movements. It was followed by the Y (for "Yuppie") generation (also called the "Millennials"), children of the Internet. Children turn their backs on traditional games because of the superior interaction and sheer fun that the new environment of the Web offers them. People of the new generation are displaying unusually strong new propensities: independence, skepticism about adults, a rich imagination, and an incredible innovative power. They love change and, above all, they are entrepreneurial.
Don Tapscott, the author of Growing Up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation (1998), wrote: "For the first time in history, children are more comfortable and literate than their parents about an innovation central to society".
What should be noted is the impatience of these young people with the pace and the protocol of the conventional curriculum. They want to learn faster and better by making use of available technology in a more focused and selective manner than is prescribed in the rigid curriculum. They already are the authors, avant la lettre, of personal curricula. They are also impatient to jump-start their involvement in the sphere of work as soon as possible. At a time when senior citizens learn how to use e-mail and to search the World Wide Web from their juniors, young people are no longer attracted to the defiant spirit of the 1970s. They simply wish to find out more about life during that period. The much-discussed "generation gap" is not widening. The contrary seems to be the case.
It is striking to see how much respect these young people have gained in the eyes of their seniors. Adults have started to imitate youth, to dress like them, and to listen to their music. Companies want them for their technical skills and their taste for change. Governments take them along with their delegations to the United Nations. City halls set up youth councils. Political parties increasingly depend on inputs from their youth branches. Students have an active presence in the management committees of secondary schools and universities.
Some might object that this picture is that of corporate America. Yet another young generation is turning to the symbols and myths of the past. From a ludic point of view, it is fair to say that the young play the games that are available to them, even the most sinister ones. By extension, in the new century, the name of the game is the computer, not the swastika. Despite obvious material obstacles, it is surprising how this trend is also gaining ground in the developing countries.
Let us examine the reasons why this dynamic young generation and the spirit of change that it is stimulating can be placed at the top of the list of present-day favourable factors. The experiments it is engaged in will likely decide the future of lifelong learning intertwined with work and accomplished through a variety of individual itineraries.

TWO CENTS TWO PENCE
Annual Best of Announcements
EAST OF BERLIN
Dalliance Theatre Collective, Havana Theatre, until December 1
Hannah Moscovitch's East Of Berlin is a difficult play to unpack. It concerns the life of Rudi, a young German man who discovers that his father, a Nazi, performed atrocities on Jewish prisoners at Auschwitz. The Holocaust, intergenerational trauma, guilt, human monstrosity, parent-child relationships, and the search for atonement are all at play here. For the most part it's riveting.
Much of the play is told by Rudi in monologue, directly to the audience. It takes a bit of getting used to, but luckily Alexander Lowe, who plays Rudi, is a captivating and affable performer. The showiness quickly subsides as Lowe gets into the groove of the story and once we get drawn in, we're along for the ride whether we like it or not. The overuse of "tell" rather than "show" works because Lowe is a great storyteller with an excellent sense of timing, and Moscovitch's writing feels accessible. There's more humour here than you might expect, which Lowe uses to diffuse tension to great effect. Credit must go to director Allyson Fournier for finding just the right balance between dark comedy and the tragic situations.
Simon Paterson portrays Hermann, Rudi's childhood "friend", with smooth confidence. Paterson's mellow voice and composed, quiet menace contrast well with Lowe's jittery energy. Geneva Perkins is also solid as Sarah, but she shows up so late in the proceedings I felt I didn't get to know her as well as I would have liked - the pace really picks up once she gets on the scene. I also appreciated how the romantic scenes felt earnest and unforced, not to mention shockingly intimate. All three performers had such clear, keen handles on their characters that I could feel the play shift in tone depending on who was on stage.
The Havana is small, but it works for the intimacy of the piece. There's not much to say about the set (it was there), though there is some clever and seamless use of props (that cigarette!). But the strength of Dalliance Theatre Collective is very clearly in the talent of their performers and director, examining weighty issues with the grace of professionals. East Of Berlin asks a lot of its audience, and never supplies easy answers, but that's because there are none. We can only listen to the stories and hope we learn from them.

One of the highlights of the program is the opportunity to choose a double degree, with classes at EBAPE and at Catholic-Lisbon School of Business and Economics (CLSBE), in Portugal.
FGV's Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (EBAPE) is launching a Master's degree unprecedented in Brazil. With registration open until March 14, the Master in Management (MiM) focuses on recent graduates from any field of knowledge. Classes will be taught in English, with a duration of 15 months.
One of the highlights of the program is the opportunity to choose a double degree, with classes at EBAPE and at Catholic-Lisbon School of Business and Economics (CLSBE), in Portugal. In this case, the course lasts 21 months, i.e., students can get a double degree with only six additional months. The programs in Brazil and in Portugal are complementary.
The Master in Management's main goal is to prepare students for immediate entry into the job market in Brazil and abroad. The program provides knowledge on the main areas of business management through an international prism, in order to prepare students for leadership positions in the future.
With an internationally renowned faculty, the MiM will provide interaction with the reality of the global and domestic professional market. In addition, the model developed is completely distinct from the academic master's and the MBA. The student graduates with a stricto sensu diploma, i.e., a Master's degree, with a focus on applied knowledge rather than research.
Undergraduates from any field and students finishing their courses may register for the course. Go to the website for questions and more information.

Boeing agrees $200m penalty for misleading investors
Transport & Aviation
/ 23rd September 2022 /
Ed McKenna
Former Boeing chief executive Dennis A Muilenburg is to pay a penalty of $1m in settlement of charges that he and the company violated US antifraud laws by withholding knowledge of the causes of crashes of the Boeing 737 Max.
Boeing itself will have to pay $200m. Both the company and Muilenburg neither admit nor deny the findings of an investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, but agreed to pay the penalties and consented to a cease and desist order.
Two fatal crashes by 737 Max jets took 346 people's lives, led to the grounding of the entire fleet, and investigations around the world.
The SEC probe was into statements made by the company and its former chief executive which could have affected the company's share price, and the implications for investors in the company.
According to the SEC, after the first crash, Boeing and Muilenburg knew that the new airplane's MCAS control system "posed an ongoing airplane safety issue, but nevertheless they assured the public that the 737 Max airplane was 'as safe as any airplane that has ever flown the skies'.
"Later, following the second crash,Boeing and Muilenburg assured the public that there were no slips or gaps in the certification process with respect to MCAS, despite being aware of contrary information," the SEC concluded
"There are no words to describe the tragic loss of life brought about by these two airplane crashes," said SEC chair Gary Gensler. "In times of crisis and tragedy, it is especially important that public companies and executives provide full, fair, and truthful disclosures to the markets.
"The Boeing Company and its former CEO failed in this most basic obligation. They misled investors by providing assurances about the safety of the 737 MAX, despite knowing about serious safety concerns. The SEC remains committed to rooting out misconduct when public companies and their executives fail to fulfil their fundamental obligations to the investing public."
According to the SEC's order, one month after Lion Air Flight 610 — a 737 MAX — crashed in Indonesia in October 2018, Boeing issued a press release, edited and approved by Muilenburg, that selectively highlighted certain facts from an official report of the Indonesian government suggesting that pilot error and poor aircraft maintenance contributed to the crash.
The press release also gave assurances of the airplane's safety, failing to disclose that an internal safety review had determined that MCAS posed an ongoing "airplane safety issue" and that Boeing had already begun redesigning MCAS to address that issue.
"Boeing and Muilenburg put profits over people by misleading investors about the safety of the 737 MAX all in an effort to rehabilitate Boeing's image following two tragic accidents that resulted in the loss of 346 lives and incalculable grief to so many families," said Gurbir Grewal, director of the SEC's enforcement division.
"Public companies and their executives must provide accurate and complete information when they make disclosures to investors, no matter the circumstances. When they don't, we will hold them accountable, as we did here."
The SEC's orders against Boeing and Muilenburg find that they negligently violated the antifraud provisions of federal securities laws. A Fair Fund will be established for the benefit of harmed investors.
The US Justice Department fined Boeing $2.5 billion last year, on charges of fraud and conspiracy in connection with the two crashes.
Authorities said the company had engaged "in an effort to cover up their deception" and chose "the path of profit over candor by concealing material information" from the Federal Aviation Administration, the aviation regulator.

Lying in wait in a cove along the coast of Tortuga Island, the pirates impatiently await their next prey. After having exhausted their fortune in Nassau, where they had stopped for some rest and relaxation, they were forced to leave their hideaway and go back to sea to replenish their coffers. Although pirates are outlaws and brigands, the governors of many small Caribbean islands often allow them to find shelter in their ports in exchange for part of the stolen booty. From his observation post at the top of the mast, an eagle-eyed sailor scans the sea. "Ship ahoy!" Obeying the Captain's orders and relying only on their courage, the men nimbly hoist the sails and prepare to board. Although battles are sometimes bloody, most often they end with the enemy ship surrendering immediately. Pirates' reputations alone are enough to crush any attempt at resistance. The loyalty of sailors to the rich merchant who employs them doesn't count for much when they spy the pirates' emblem: the Jolly Rodger. Moreover, it is not rare for a captured crew to join the ranks of the pirates, hoping that they will be better treated, free and perhaps get rich. For, within this strange brotherhood of nobles, ex- convicts, beggars and fleeing slaves, all are equal. Each is entitled to his fair share of the gains. They live dangerously and most end up with a rope around their neck. But, in the meantime, everything seems worth the risk. So, too bad for those who resist: let them be thrown to the sharks!


We are now over halfway through "100 Characters For 100 Otaku!!!" The crazy idea has come to life! I'm sure you've noticed after yesterday's bunch that we're really getting into the heart of my favorite characters! I'm still getting more and more passionate about my subjects as we go! Now, let's dive in to 50 through 46!
In the world of American comics, fantasy, and sci-fi, most of the big stuff consists of assloads of stories set in one central universe. Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Warcraft – stuff like this has a big universe of works that fans can devote themselves to. Anime has it's fair share of universes as well, ranging from immensely huge and decade-crossing, some of a great size that are relevant only to otaku, and many smaller universes lying around.

A Muslim vote for the Liberal Democrats
This article advocates the best possible option for Muslims when voting in the General Election, which the author claims to be the Liberal Democrats, for reasons of fairness. "I believe the Liberal Democrats are the only party that will truly make Britain fair, not just for Muslims, but for everyone in Britain today." The author Farid Ahmed is a Muslim and a Liberal candidate himself for Walthamstow, London.
The author further summarizes how Labour has failed in the past 13 years to make Britain more just, and how the Conservatives are not to be trusted to move the country in any such direction. Also Britain's policies towards the Middle East play a large role in the author's preference for the Liberal Democrat Party.

A jihadist cell discovered at the Universtiy of Perugia: Two Moroccan students expelled
Roberto Maroni, the Italian interior minister, has ordered the immediate repatriation for security reasons of two Moroccan students at the University of Perugia. According to the investigations, the two foreigners were declared highly dangerous since they were ready to commit acts of terrorism in the country. Although the students were not in contact with the international terrorist net but were "self-trained" via the Internet, they were nonetheless deemed a serious threat for our country and therefore expelled.

Birmingham could see Britain's first female Muslim MP
Next week's election promises a swathe of new faces in the House of Commons. Not only are we witnessing the largest number of MPs to retire in 60 years but, with a record number of Asian women also standing, Britain could have its first female Muslim MP.
This breakthrough moment in politics has already happened for Muslim men with Mohammad Sarwar voted in Glasgow Central in 1997. Khalid Mahmood was the first in England when he won the Birmingham Perry Barr seat in 2001 and the race to be among the first female Muslim MPs could also be played out in the second city.
Salma Yaqoob, according to one newspaper the most prominent Muslim woman in British politics, is the Respect Party prospective parliamentary candidate for the Birmingham Hall Green constituency. Labour's Shabana Mahmood is fighting Clare Short's seat in Ladywood along with Nusrat Ghani, who is standing for the Conservatives.
Sparkbrook – within the Hall Green constituency – and Small Heath now broken up between different wards – has the largest percentage of Muslim voters of any UK constituency at 48.8%, according to the 2001 census.

Muslim MPs to more than double
At least 80 Muslim candidates of various political persuasions are involved in a spectrum of intriguing contests for parliamentary seats around the country. The chances are that up to 15 could be elected, although more realistically it is likely to double up from four in 2005.
The outcome in the elections, which are going to be the closest for decades and includes so many uncertain factors, is likely to see both the first Muslim women MPs that could help more than double Labour numbers and the first Muslim Tory members in the House of Commons. In the frame with outside chances are also a couple of Liberal Democrats and different Respect candidates among many others who are in un-winnable seats.
Labour has no less than seven Muslims, including three women, defending seats, the Conservatives one and another selected to capture the Party's number one target seat in Gillingham and Rainham. Respect also has chosen a Muslim candidate in Bethnal Green and Bow to stand instead of George Galloway, who is seeking re-election in the newly created Poplar and Limehouse next door. But Abjol Miah faces the unique challenge of Muslim rivals selected by all three main parties in the most populous Muslim constituency.

The girl who was expelled for wearing the hijab registers at another school
Najwa Malhat, a 16 years old Muslim girl, who was expelled from her school for wearing a headscarf last week, has been allowed to register at another public school. The first school that Nawja was assigned to has suddenly changed its Internal Regulation in order to forbid the wearing of head coverings inside the center, including the hijab. Finally, Najwa has been admitted to another school and is currently attending normal classes.

UK's Islam Channel TV chief insists: "We are not extremists"
The Islam Channel, which is watched regularly by three in every five British Muslims despite allegations that it panders to extremism, is aiming to expand its services to other countries where it feels there is a need to counter negative coverage by western media.
In the cases of three countries with large Muslim populations – Malaysia, Nigeria and Kenya – the channel plans to begin by providing programs already available to viewers in the UK, according to the channel's chief executive, Mohammed Ali Harrath.
Mr Harrath said "extensive negotiations" were also in progress to launch transmissions in North America – he did not specify whether the United States or Canada, or both – with immediate use of locally produced content.
After accusation of a Quilliam Foundation report that Islam Channel showed extremist programs, Harrath replied: "We do not promote extremism at all. What they qualify as extremism may be something else. If someone is opposed to abortion, are you going to say that is extremism? If a trade union argues for better conditions for workers, do you accuse it of promoting Karl Marx, and Lenin, or communist ideology?"

Turbulent times at Münster: high expectations for the chair of Islamic religious education
The University of Münster, being the first to offer teacher training for Islamic religious education, does not come to rest. While the university has selected a most suitable candidate for the chair, the Lebanese Austrian Mouhanad Khorchide, the decision has to be approved by the Islamic associations. Some therefore claim that the associations have too much influence over this position at a state university, after they have already urged professor Sven Muhammad Kalisch at the same department to step down, after he had doubted the existence of Prophet Mohammed.
Meanwhile, Khorchide has taken up teaching on a temporary position. One of his main goals is to bring Islamic theology in harmony with a modern life and to show that there are no contradictions. School children should not have to make a decision whether to be Muslim or European, but should feel that they are both.

Conservative politician criticised for heavily anti-Islamic statements
A CDU party politician and member of the Hesse regional parliament, Hans-Jürgen Irmer, has revealed his deep-rooted anti-Islamic attitude. In an interview, he had claimed that Islam seeks to rule the world and that anyone who supports Turkey's entry to the EU, as does the CDU's new Turkish-German minister Aygül Özkan, contributed to the Islamisation of Germany. He furthermore said that Germany needed not more Muslims, but less.
Members of all parties have expressed their shock about the politician's statements. Irmer finally apologized, saying that he had not wanted to discredit one religion on the whole. The SPD, Greens and Left Party do not believe his apology came voluntarily and find it incredible, as Irmer's statements had shown a rather clear and strong supremacist attitude.

"Full Equality before the Law for All Religions"
French political scientist Olivier Roy is one of the foremost European experts on Islam. His new book, "Holy Ignorance. When Religion and Culture Diverge", will soon be published in English. Eren Güvercin spoke with Roy about the current Islam debate in Europe
In Switzerland, a majority votes for a ban on minarets; in France and in Belgium, Islamic headscarves are heavily debated; in Italy, crucifixes are under fire. And also here in Germany, the debate about the Muslims is often very hysterical. Why do Europeans fear religious symbols or "foreign" religions so much?
Olivier Roy: The debate in Europe has shifted in some 25 years from immigration to the visible symbols of Islam. Which means a paradoxical thing: even people who opposed immigration acknowledge now that the second and third generations of migrants are here to stay and that Islam has rooted itself in Europe. So now the debate is about the status of Islam. And here we have a strange phenomenon: while anti-immigration feelings were mainly associated with the conservative right, anti-Islam feelings are to be found both on the left and on the right, but on two very different grounds.
For the right, Europe is Christian and Islam should be treated as a tolerated but inferior religion. There is – unfortunately – no way to ban it, because of the principle of "freedom of religion", inscribed in our constitutions, international treaties and UN chart, but there are means to limit its visibility without necessarily going against the principle of freedom of religion – for instance the European court of human rights did not condemn the banning of the scarf in French schools.
For the left, the issue is more generally secularism, women's rights and fundamentalism: it opposes the veil not so much because it is Islamic but because it seems to contradict women's rights. Hence the debate on Islam hides a far more complicated issue: What does a European identity mean, and what is the role of religion in Europe; and of course on these two issues the left and the right have very different positions. But we see the rise of a new populist movement – like Geert Wilders in Holland – mixing both approaches, basically siding with the right but using leftist arguments.
In your book you say that fundamentalists like Al Qaida have nothing to do with the tradition of Islam. But for the people in Europe they appear very traditional … Are Al Qaida and similar organizations and movements a modern phenomenon?
Olivier Roy: The kind of terrorism perpetrated by Al Qaida is unknown in Muslim history as well as in Christian history. So in any case it is a recent phenomenon. If we consider some of its main characteristics – suicide attacks, execution of hostages, targeting civilians – they all have been put into practice recently, before Al Qaida, by other organizations: the Tamil Tigers for suicide attacks, the Italian extreme right in Bologna bombing in August 1980, and the Italian Red Brigades. If you look at the video of the execution of foreign hostages by Al Qaida in Iraq, it follows exactly the "staging" of the execution of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades: banner and logo of the organization, hostage hand-cuffed and blindfolded, a group of "militants" staging a mock trial, the reading of a "sentence" and execution.
By its modus operandi, its form of organization, its target: US imperialism, and recruitment: young Western-educated Muslims or converts to Islam, it is obvious that Al Qaida is not the expression of a traditional or even fundamentalist Islam, but of a recast of Islam under the cloak of Western revolutionary ideology.
Are there similar Christian organizations? Can we find similar developments in Christianity?
Olivier Roy: It depends what you call "Christian", and that is the same issue for Islam, too. Is violence motivated by faith or by a political ideology? I argue that in both cases the motivation is driven far more by ideology, even claiming a religious legitimacy, than by faith. There has certainly been a "white" Western terrorism, for instance at the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. But in fact there is no real symmetry: the present struggle looks more like asymmetrical warfare; Islamic radicals have no air force or air carrier. A radical Christian crusader who wants to fight Muslims does not need to enter a terrorist organization: he can just enlist in the US Air Force and become the pilot of a fighter-bomber. The US media have closely documented the fact that the US Air Force Academy of Colorado Springs is a hotbed of Christian evangelicalism, at the expense, by the way, of Jewish or atheist cadets.
How do you explain the success of such radical movements or ideologies? Are poverty and exclusion really the reasons?
Olivier Roy: No. All studies show that there is no correlation between poverty and radicalization: there are far more Saudis than Bangladeshis (in fact almost no Bangladeshis) among radicals. I think that the present struggle is a continuation of the old fault-line of anti-imperialist, third-worldist movements against the West and specifically the USA. Bin Laden says little about religion, but mentions Che Guevara, colonialism, climate change etc. It is also clearly a generational movement: Al Qaida is a "youth" movement of young people who split with their families and their social milieus and are not interested even in the home country of their family.
Also, there is an astonishing number of converts among Al Qaida, which is now acknowledged but not taken into account. The converts are rebels without a cause who would have joined the Red Army Faction or the Red Brigades thirty years ago but now go to the most successful movement on the anti-imperialist market. We are still in the midst of a mostly Western revolutionary millennialism that has turned away from the concept of establishing a new and just society. The new movements are profoundly sceptical about building a good society, hence their suicidal dimension.
Today some Europeans maintain that European culture is essentially a Christian culture, and hence that everything Islamic is problematic and alien for Europe. What do you think of this position?
Olivier Roy: They say that at the same time that Pope Benedict, following John Paul II, is saying that Europe is rejecting and ignoring its Christian roots. The debate on sexual freedom, abortion, gay rights is not one of Europeans versus Muslims, but rather of secularists on the one hand – and there are Muslim secularists – and conservative believers on the other, who could be Muslim, Catholic or Orthodox Jews. In fact, Europe is highly divided about its own culture, between secularists who consider the Enlightenment with human rights, freedom, democracy as the real birth certificate of Europe, and the "Christian culturalists" who believe that the Enlightenment also led to Communism, atheism and even Nazism.
Is there a real risk of Islamophobia in Europe?
Olivier Roy: The problem is how we define Islamophobia: Is it just another term for racism, and specifically racism against people with a Muslim name, whatever their real degree of belonging to a faith community, or is it the rejection of a religion? There are anti-racist militants who cannot stand the veil – that is the case among feminists. There are racist people who do not oppose the veil – because they think that anyway these people are too different from us. The issue is complex because we do not try to disentangle two issues: ethnicity and religion.
Of course in Europe most Muslims have a foreign ethnic background, but the disconnect between ethnicity and religion is increasing: there are converts both ways; there are atheist "Arabs" and "Turks"; and more and more Muslims want to be acknowledged as believers belonging to a faith community, but not necessarily as members of a different cultural community. We need to distinguish between "ethnic communities" and "faith communities", because both suppose a different approach, and because "ethnicity" is less and less meaningful in terms of culture, but is more and more linked with skin colour.
In an interview you say that for example the biggest campaign against Darwin in Europe is being conducted by a Turkish Muslim, on the basis of translations of books written by evangelical Americans, and that there is then a convergence of values and norms, but also of the manner in which those religions translate their convictions into political action and intervention. How can the political world find a way to deal with this "drifting, deculturalized and globalized religion"?
Olivier Roy: I think that the "successful" religions are the global and deculturated religions like evangelicalism, Salafism, cults etc., not the traditional churches like the Catholic Church. This trend is dominant now. It does not make sense to fight against it, particularly in countries where constitutions prevent the State from interfering with beliefs. On the contrary, I think we should accentuate the separation of Church and State by implementing full equality between religions, but not on a basis of "multi-culturalism"; we should consider religions as "mere religions", whatever they say about themselves.
The issue is not 'what does Islam say', 'what does the Pope say', but under which conditions a faith community can freely exercise its rights. Government should contribute to the unlinking of religion and culture, but rejecting the multi-culturalist approach to religion in favour of a neutral and strict freedom of religion within the framework of existing laws.
In the media we often have a dialectic of "liberal" vs. "radical" Islam. Is there a "liberal" or "radical" Islam? When we look at the five pillars, is it possible to do the prayer "liberally" or "radically"? Is this terminology actually applicable on this matter?
Olivier Roy: No. I think the mistake is to consider that to be a good citizen in society, a believer has to choose a "liberal" theology. The debate on the "reformation" of Islam is irrelevant. People who advocate a Muslim Luther never read Luther: he was not a liberal, and quite anti-Semitic by the way. The "formatting" of Muslims into a Western environment has nothing to do with theology. It is done by the individual practices and endeavours of the Muslims themselves. They try to reconcile their practices with the Western environment, and they find in this environment tools to do that, rethinking norms in terms of values for instance. In the long run these changes will certainly translate into a theological rethinking, but anyway it does not make sense to associate modernity with theological liberalism: to think like that means either distorting history or relying on wishful thinking.

Male Wrestling vs. Female Wrestling: How are they different?
By reComparison Contributor
Difference between Male Wrestling and Female Wrestling
Wrestling is a time-honored sport that is found in most cultures all over the world. The sport uses various grappling techniques in order to subdue the opponent and matches are often fiercely contested until it results in victory for one contender. While wrestling has traditionally always been a man's sport, more and more women are taking it up as well, and often to favorable results. It seems that women are just as able to handle the rigors of the sport as men are and the numerous high-profile female wrestling events around today are proof of that. Let's take a look at the various factors that go into each discipline.

It is unclear where exactly male wrestling started and many counties lay claim to being the originator of this proud tradition. What is known is that the sport was practiced in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt where the most common form was belt wrestling. Ancient China was also a hotbed of male wrestling, with Shuai Jiao being one of the earliest of all martial arts. Male wrestling was also mentioned in the Iliad as being practiced during the Trojan War, which took place in the 13th or 12th century BC. Female wrestling is quite a bit younger in comparison, with its roots being traceable to France. The country was home to numerous wrestling clubs that catered exclusively to females, and it was the setting for the first national championship in 1973. The French Wrestling Federation adopted the sport in 1977 and with its establishment in the international governing body FILA in 1982, female wrestling finally came into its own as a legitimate sporting event.
Male wrestling has been practiced in every single Summer Olympic Games since 1896, with the exception of the 1900 Summer Olympics. Freestyle wrestling and weight classes wrestling were introduced in the 1904 Olympics. As for female wrestling, the first world championship was held in 1987, with the French team being judged the champion. Interestingly enough, the United States waited until 1990 to hold a national female wrestling championship, although it did field a team for the first championship held in France.
Physical Concerns
11 years of age is a particularly crucial period in any girl's life, since this is when she inches away from boys in height and weight. Boys on the other hand experience their growth spurt at age 13 years, and female wrestlers therefore have the edge that they wouldn't normally have, particularly in terms of body mass, muscle and height.

There is no conflict between evangelism and Deut. 13:2, 6, 13, since this law does not require the execution of those who hold to other religions. Only if they actively promote their anti-Christian views and thus try to destroy the Christian Republic, does the Bible teach that action should be taken against them.

Edit Geek: Media Composer 6
AJAJim Nov 03, 2011
By Dylan Reeve
Avid's flagship editing product, Media Composer, has been on the scene for a little over twenty years and has looked and worked roughly the same way for that whole time.
Today saw the announcement of the first major overhaul since Media Composer's numbering was restarted with the release of Adrenaline in 2003… And it's a big overhaul – not only has it been rewritten entirely as a 64-bit application but it also looks different with a redesigned UI.
But what does the new Media Composer deliver?
Big Change and No Change
With the recent release of Apple's Final Cut Pro X leaving a sour taste in many editors' mouths thanks to the loss of key features it will be a great relief for Avid users to learn that the basics haven't changed. What you did in Media Composer 5.5 and earlier you can still do in 6.0. The bins will open, the sequences will play and the media is still fine.
What has changed pretty drastically is the user interface, although it still remains familiar enough that any Avid editor should be able to sit down and getting cutting without any massive adjustment
Once you get past the basic changes in the look of Media Composer 6 the most significant UI change is actually the addition of a tabbed interface model. Bins can be combined into individual tabbed windows which should be a welcome change for any users working with limited screen real estate, or those of us who tend to have a whole bunch of bins open at any given time. read more...

Resident Evil Movie Reboot Wraps Filming
The Resident Evil movie reboot is one step closer to being ready for its 2021 premiere. In a tweet posted on the official Resident Evil movie page, the filming has finally been completed. The reboot was announced in 2017, and despite 2020 being an unprecedented year (and particularly harsh on both the cinema and video games industries), the Resident Evil movie is still going strong. In previous months the ensemble cast was announced and exciting set photos emerged. Additionally, a release date was revealed with the movie slated for a Fall 2021 launch.
That's a wrap in Raccoon City. 🎬

According to director Johannes Roberts, the reboot film looks to draw on the horrifying atmosphere and settings of the video game franchise, "With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today's audiences."
Now that filming has wrapped ahead of the reboot's premiere, are you excited to dive back into the cinematic universe of Resident Evil? Let us know in the comments.
