Lewis & Clark Reframed: Examining Ties to Cook, Vancouver, and Mackenzie
Lewis & Clark Reframed: Examining Ties to Cook, Vancouver, and Mackenzie quantity
SKU: 461 Categories: Books, Lewis & Clark, Our Favorites
Spanish, British, and French explorers reached the Pacific Northwest before Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The American captains benefited from those predecessors, even carrying with them copies of their published accounts. Based on new material as well as revised essays from popular history journals, Lewis and Clark Reframed examines several curious and seemingly inexplicable aspects of the journey after the Corps of Discovery crossed the Rocky Mountains.
Former Washing State Historical Society Director David L. Nicandri is an expert in Pacific Northwest exploration history. His epilogue presents further opportunities to place the Lewis and Clark story and the Enlightenment era into historical context. Nicandri is the author of River of Promise: Lewis and Clark on the Columbia and author or co-editor of two volumes on Captain James Cook.

Teacher disarms girls: Sixth grader shoots three
Keith Wise May 7, 2021 1 min read
2021 May 7 Friday
The teacher disarms the girls
A sixth-grader shot and killed three people
Repeated shootings are taking place in the United States, and stricter gun laws are being repeatedly demanded. U.S. police say an incident in the state of Idaho has now been reported – a sixth grader brought a gun to a school and opened fire.
A sixth-grader at his school in Idaho, USA, shot and killed three people. The woman "took a pistol from her pocket and shot several shots," Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson said. All three injured were taken to hospital, but their lives were not in danger.
According to authorities, a teacher disarmed the student and kept her in custody until police arrived. The girl may be between eleven and twelve years old. Local law enforcement and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating.
Guns are widespread in the United States, with repeated shootings. All attempts at a strict gun law have so far failed in the face of opposition from the powerful gun lobby. US President Joe Biden has announced a new effort to curb gun violence in the country.

My little boy likes Super Heroes, trains, dinosaurs, sports and of course CARS! Anything with wheels is a hit with Roo!
While we were strolling around at a little community event in Galion, Ohio my son was delighted to see a car show! He strolled among hot rods, classics and styles we had never heard of!
Holy Smokes! It is the Bat Mobile!
Even I had to admit this was quite a sight of a car.
These are the kinds of cars that little boys dream of.
Imagine the delight of both of my kids when we found the Mystery Machine! We are just starting our interest in Scooby Doo so this was.... Ah-Mazing!
Then we ran into a really great Micro-Bus. My husband was wide eyed and tye dye dreaming for a few minutes over this one.
I loved that seeing this in our little town. It was like a mobile part of history that we got to show our kids. They are little, but someday I will show them these pictures and maybe trigger their memories of this day when they want to learn about the 60's!
Isn't it amazing how out of the blue you can find things like this in the smallest towns? While I am not a "car person" I love sharing in experiences that my kids are interested in and experiencing the magic and joy of it through their eyes.
When was the last time you took your kids to something like a car show? Did they enjoy the experience of seeing so many cool cars?
Oh my gosh what great cars!! Love the bat mobile and the mystery machine!
I have to admit that I'm not a big car person, and neither is anyone in my family. But I definitely went through a "hippie stage" so seeing those vans are really cool! I have been to a few car shows but not too many. We are more of an outdoor/sporty type family. I sure did enjoy your pics though.
The mystery machine is super cool. I took my boys to a car show last year and they had a blast.
That's a lot different than many of the car shows we've been to, but car shows are something my parent's always used to take me to. I wouldn't say I'm a car enthusiast, but it's so fun to go. I wish we could get the Batmobile or the Mystery Machine at a local car show here!
I'm not a big car person, but next time I may have to walk through the car shows I run by from time to time. Because those are some cool rides!

Beer brewed with marijuana, baking mixes concocted to bring out the unique flavours of cannabis oil and good, old-fashioned pot cookies: Canadian companies are creating them all, but it's unclear when stores will legally be able to stock the edibles for recreational users.
Instead, business owners have been getting creative to manufacture, refine and sell their products.
Ottawa has pledged that recreational marijuana will become legal sometime this year and the Senate recently approved the pot legalization bill. But the federal government has said the sale of edible cannabis products will not be legal immediately.
That hasn't stopped Canadian companies for entering the market.
Tim Moore, CEO of Toronto-based Xanthic Biopharma, thinks edibles are the preferred form of cannabis consumption for many people, in part because they're portable, discreet and don't carry the same stigma as lighting up a joint.
His company has created technology that converts cannabis into a powder, and it works with licensed cannabis producers to make products such as drinks infused with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
Because of current Canadian laws, the products have only been available in parts of the Unites States.
There are benefits to working south of the border, Moore said.
"Our initial markets, for us, have been in the western U.S., where recreational products are legal. But now we come back to Canada and we're talking to (licensed producers) here and we have the credibility that we've been in that market down there, have moved along the learning curve," he said.
Other companies have found it more difficult to navigate Canada's rules.
Dooma Wendschuh is a co-founder of Province Brands, a Toronto-based company brewing beer from marijuana, and he said it's been "more or less impossible" to work in Canada.
While his team can make small batches of product here, Canadian law prohibits them from doing taste tests, he said.
"If I wanted to open an ice cream parlour, I could just open it. If I wanted to make a new flavour of ice cream, I could just make it. If I want to make a marijuana beverage, I can make it, but no one is allowed to drink it," Wendschuh said.
The company has been very careful to work within the law, doing taste-testing outside of Canada and, when back at home, working with hemp instead of marijuana, he said.
So far they've created an India pale ale and an imperial pilsner, Wendschuh said, and they're looking forward to the day that they can finally sell their products.
In Calgary, reTreat Edibles is already selling brownie and cookie mixes, but until Ottawa brings in rules for marijuana-infused treats, they're leaving it up to consumers to add in cannabis oil, said chef John Michael MacNeil.
Selling the products without pot is helping the company get brand recognition ahead of legalization, he said.
The red seal-certified chef said he's looking to create flavours that bring out the specific tastes and smells of various cannabis strains.
MacNeil said he believes the federal government is being strict and cautious around edibles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"By eliminating the grey and black area, they'll force people to go through all the right steps and all the right processes in order to have a reliable and consistent, safe experience for the end use," he said.
Some working in the industry don't believe government regulation will crush black market edibles.
There's already a "massive demand" for edibles in Canada and that's only going to grow following legalization, said Brandon Wright, co-founder of Baked.
The Victoria-based company makes a variety of cannabis-infused products, from cookies and protein bars to oils and capsules, and sells them online and through dispensaries.
"It's definitely going to be a blooming black market, even amongst companies that are trying to go legitimate like us," Wright said.
When rules for edibles do come in, there will be dramatic changes to what businesses create and sell, he added. For instance, a prohibition on mixing cannabis and caffeine would eliminate chocolate bars from product menus.
Wright said he expects there to be a big focus on low-dose items like drinks, while baked goods fall out of favour.

When I arrived at Sebring last week I realised that it was there that we took the first ever win for Aston Martin Racing, 10 years ago! That was in the DBR9 and I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the start of a big adventure for me; an adventure that I'm still having as I enter my 11th season as an AMR works driver.
Before Sebring I had a busy week of testing, which took me to Italy and Spain for two very different reasons. I haven't been involved in the road car side of things before so it is a real pleasure to team up with Aston Martin to work on new projects such as GT12 and Vulcan.
Off I went to Nardo in Southern Italy to work on the GT12 car. It's certainly different from race car testing and I found it really interesting to work with the Aston Martin engineers on a car that is destined for the road rather than the track. I'm used to persuading engineers to set a car up so I can squeeze the last thousandth of a second out of a lap time but for this programme it's all about getting it right for the road.
After that I went straight to Monteblanco in Spain for the annual AMR winter test. This gets the works team together with the customer teams at a tricky little circuit that's made up mainly of first and second gear corners. I think we learnt a lot about the Vantage GTE, some of which will give us a head start on 2016, but the majority of it was to optimise our package for the new WEC season.
Life is never boring when you go racing as I found out when a surprise trip was thrown in before I went to Sebring. Our title sponsor, Gulf, had a promotional event in Mumbai, so rather than flying straight to Florida I went via India, which is quite a long way in the wrong direction! It was good to go though as I really like the country – the event with Gulf was good and I had a great curry. It was a whistle-stop tour though, as I landed in Mumbai in the morning and that night I was on a plane to New York, en route to Sebring.
We were probably one of the few teams that hadn't tested at Sebring over the winter so we knew we had a bit of catching up to do. I did four or five timed laps in the first session and the balance of the car was already good so it was nice to start the weekend with a car that was there or thereabouts on setup. Our pace was good when we were on the softer of the Michelin tyre options, but we struggled a bit to make the mediums work.
In the race we were strong on pace and if we hadn't lost a wheel early on, which cost us a good few laps, we would have been in a position to fight for the podium, so it's a bit disappointing. I never have a bad time at Sebring though. Even if you're 11 laps down, if you're out on the circuit it's immense fun – turns one and 17 are just fantastic.
I'm off to the Nürburgring now for VLN 1, which means I've raced at two of my favourite circuits within the space of a week. I'm really looking forward to going back to the 'Green Hell'. The last time we were there was for the 24 Hours last June so it has been a long time.
The Nordschleife is such an incredible challenge; not just to remember all the corners but just to get into the groove and get a rhythm going while dealing with the huge amount of traffic, which is made up of so many different classes of cars and racing ability.
Interview with Darren Turner
Ten years of Aston Martin Racing
Turner with Ben Ainslie
At a WEC event we're not in the fastest category so we have to look in our mirrors a lot. At VLN we're in the quickest class so we're always on the attack with traffic, which takes a bit of adjustment.
Oh, and I understand it's going to be wet, so that's going to be interesting…

Firstly: you're not alone, So, When you go through a depressive state of mind where you let yourself believe all these crazy thoughts that you overthink, it's hard to see or find a way out of that situation because that's what you fixate on... depression is a horrible thing to have but like many things in life it's only a temporary feeling/emotion, you will get better, the best thing to do is find time fillers to help you get through the day and when it comes to night time where you find yourself laying in bed thinking of everything all at once, you need to find a way to let go or accept what is going on in your life at that time, bare in mind that nobody can help you but yourself, others can only advise you based on their experiences and that in the end it's down to you how you let something affect you, you need to consciously tell yourself to not feel any negative emotions like guilt, stress or pain etc, even say them out loud... go through what you don't want to feel and tell yourself that you don't want to feel that particular emotion. Once you've told yourself to get rid of all the negative emotions, begin to tell yourself all the positive emotions that you want to feel and welcome them into your life, from here you need to learn to change a negative filter into a positive filter, so if your like me and you're not being given any contact with your child, instead of thinking "I don't get to see my child" change it to something like, "it doesn't matter if you let me see my child or not because I'll do whatever it takes to see him/her" this way you eliminate the negative emotion and you bring in a positive one, apply this to every aspect of your life and see how things can change but understand this won't happen over night however, if you do what I've said for 30 days I guarantee that it will change the way you think, I know this for a fact because I suffered with depression for a long time, until I found a motivational speaker that helped me to understand how I am in control of my emotions, now I don't get upset or depressed about not having contact because I know in myself that I will see her again, I went through 30 days telling myself how I did and didn't want to feel, I didn't even finish the 30 days, So if for whatever reason you are depressed apply what I've instructed into your life for 30 days and then tell me the results.
Wow thank you and I'm sorry to hear that it's definite that you will see your child again
In this article I'm going to talk about Overwatch Origins Edition the biggest game on PC and Platform Consoles. Overwatch is a fun filled action packed almost laid back shooter, based in the Overwatch world where we have good heroes a bad, with over 21 heroes to choose from youll be spoilt for choice but beware composition matters. Each Character has their own incredible power like "Dragon Strike" "R.I.P Tyre" and many more though to be able to use these superpowers you first need to charge it up by engaging in battle with your enemy. In Overwatch there's two game modes that blizzard have concentrated on "Control Point" and "Payload Delivery" but with recent events and updates there's always fresh content to get stuck in to. Overall I'd say Overwatch is high up in my personal ratings because it's incredibly fun and entertaining, having played many hours with friends, so I give it a 10/10 I really feel like this game is the
Coronavirus - My thoughts on the pandemic
Corona-virus also known as "Covid-19" is currently affecting human life on earth as we speak, people say that this "Virus" came from China & the eating of bats, however I don't believe that's where the virus came from. I believe "Covid-19" was produced in a "Private Lab" ran by Politicians and Elite families across the world. I also believe they have a cure for the disease but haven't yet publicly announced it. There's multiple reasons for this but one of the most obvious is due to the amount of people that currently inhabit Earth, records show there's around 7 Billion People currently on Earth and that number is too high for the planet to sustain long-term life, so Covid-19 was developed in a lab to help bring the numbers down. If we had 5 Billion people the world would be a lot better off and this is why I believe the virus was created.. with the sole intention of killing hundreds of thousands of people to bring the numb

Canadian geologist who was one of the most important pioneers in the field of experimental petrology (i.e., the experimental study of the origin and chemical composition of rocks). He was widely recognized for his phase-equilibrium studies of silicate systems as they relate to the origin of igneous rocks. Bowen's legacy, in addition to the many accurate and precise phase diagrams of the end members of common rock-forming minerals, was the construction of an experimental and theoretical basis for the interpretation and documentation of the diversity of igneous and metamorphic rocks.
German-American biochemist whose technique of "tagging" molecules with radioactive isotopes made it possible to trace the paths of organic substances through animals and plants and revolutionized metabolic studies.

Joseph Nicolas Nicollet was a French mathematician, explorer, and cartographer with an interest in astronomy. He was born in France, but financially ruined by the 1830 Revolution, he left for the U.S. in 1831. He made a private survey of the Mississippi region (1836-7), the results of which he presented in Washington. In 1838, he led a surveying expedition for the U.S. government party mapping out the lakes and waterways of northcentral Minnesota. He stressed to map publishers the importance of elevation marks on published maps. His maps were considered among the most accurate and useful until the surveyors for the great logging companies arrived in Minnesota's vast pine forests.

German botanist who demonstrated the existence of sexes in plants, which made plants available for studies of genetics and heredity. He demonstrated experimentally the sexuality of plants in Epistolae de Sexu Plantarum (Letter on the Sexuality of Plants, 1694) in which he identified the stamen and pistil as the male and female organs, and the pollen as the fertilizing agent.
In 1997, the Mars Global Surveyor, launched in Nov 1996, went into an elliptical orbit around Mars. To drop into a lower orbit the original mission plan was to use a braking effect by dipping into the upper Martian atmosphere. The lower orbit was a better position for mapping purposes. However, the aerobraking method originally planned was suspended for several weeks to give engineers time to develop more gentle manoeuvers to protect the craft when a solar array failed to deploy correctly, and was flexing excessively. It was to spend two years mapping the surface of Mars.

In 1985, the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) flew relatively unscathed through the gas tail of comet P/Giacobini-Zinner, at a speed of 21 km/sec at its closed approach of some 7,800-km downstream from the nucleus. The spaceraft found a region of interacting cometary and solar wind ions, and encountered a comet plasma tail about 25,000 km wide. Water and carbon monoxide ions were also identified, which confirmed the "dirty snowball" theory proposed by Fred Whipple (1950). It had been launched on 12 Aug 1978, originally named ISEE-3 (International Sun-Earth Explorer), then renamed ICE when, after completing its original mission in 1982, it was gravitationally manuvuered to intercept the comet.

In 1841, the first U.S. patent for collapsible metal tubes was issued to an artist, John Rand (No. 2,252). His purpose was as a "mode of preserving paints, and other fluids, by confining them in close mettalic vessels so constructed as to collapse with slight pressure, and thus force out the paint or fluid confined therein through proper openings for that purpose." The tubes, molded of lead and used to hold oil colours, were provided with caps to keep them airtight. The idea was later reinvented in 1892 for the commercial packaging of tootpaste. The first collapsible polythene tubes were produced in the U.S. for skin-tanning lotion in 1953.

SAF holds complex, high-tech integrated strike exercise in US with 800 troops
emer written 4 months ago
SINGAPORE – One of Singapore Armed Forces' (SAF's) most complex and high-end overseas drills, Exercise Forging Sabre, has returned with the debut of several army assets and an upgraded command post.
The biennial live-firing exercise is being held at Mountain Home Air Force Base in the state of Idaho, United States, said the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) on Thursday (Sept 23). The exercise, which started on Sept 14, ends on Saturday.
The unilateral exercise, now in its eighth instalment since 2005, involves about 600 airmen from the Republic of Singapore Air Force and 200 soldiers from the Singapore Army.
Mindef said the vast training area at Mountain Home, with an airspace of more than 20 times the size of Singapore, allows the SAF to conduct larger-scale and realistic training to maintain high levels of readiness in Singapore's defence.
It is the SAF's first major overseas exercise since the Covid-19 pandemic began last year.
This year, new "sense" assets, which scan the battlefield to collect intelligence of potential threats, are making their debuts. These include the Veloce 15 mini-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and the TPQ-53 weapon locating radar, which can track rocket, artillery and mortar threats up to 60km away.
Other "sense and strike" assets, such as the F-15SG fighters, the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System and Heron 1 UAV, are also part of the exercise.
The A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport aircraft is involved in extending the endurance of the fighters, who are working with commando lasing and strike observers mission teams to employ precision-guided munitions.
Headquarters Sense and Strike (HQ SS) – formed last November to integrate the army's tactical intelligence and fires capabilities – is also participating for the first time.
This year, there is stronger emphasis on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics, said Exercise Director (Air), Brigadier-General Chan Ching Hao, 40.
Using such technologies makes these "sense-strike missions" more efficient and eases the cognitive workload of the commanders, he told reporters in a virtual interview on Monday from Idaho.
"Essentially, data analytics and AI will allow more higher-order tasks to be conducted, and for a lot of the lower-order things to be automated. So this will be quite a game changer for sense-strike operations."
These technologies are being used at the command post, the nerve centre of SAF operations, which is equipped with a system that provides a real-time picture of the battlefield.

A new software engine has been developed to recommend the most suitable strike assets to eliminate specific types of targets, easing the mental load of soldiers.
BG Chan said the highly demanding mission scenarios under realistic conditions at the exercise "stress-test all groups of exercise participants", from ground troops to the people flying in the air, as well as the commanders and battle staff at the command post.
Colonel Adrian Teng, 43, commander of the HQ SS, said the integration of the headquarters has allowed the army to "unlock new warfighting capabilities and concepts".

For instance, the headquarters can now tap the whole of the SAF's sensing capabilities for a round-the-clock, pervasive knowledge of targets, he said.
"With this pervasive intelligence, HQ SS can better decide the employment of strike assets, be they from the air force or the army, to destroy the target at the time and place of our choosing."
Stringent safety measures have been taken in view of the pandemic. Participants are all fully vaccinated and planning meetings are conducted virtually.
BG Chan said priority has been given to ensure that the safety measures have no impact on the rigour of the exercise.
"We are much more pandemic-ready, and I think we are also able to ensure that we are meeting our mission objectives in this exercise," he said.

City wide hydrogen transport networks launched in London and Copenhagen
On the 31st October 2011 a new hydrogen transport project was launched that will see citywide hydrogen networks developed in London and Copenhagen. HyTEC (Hydrogen Transport in European Cities) which is part funded by the Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), pulls together 16 organisations in a three year project to put the two cities at the forefront of efforts to establish ultra-low carbon hydrogen transport infrastructure in Europe.
The project will see 30 hydrogen powered vehicles, including cars, taxis and scooters divided between the two cities and connected by new hydrogen fuelling stations.
An aim of HyTEC is to identify and address potential barriers to the wider roll-out of ultra-low carbon hydrogen vehicles around Europe. A research team will review data from the vehicles allowing a full-analysis of their performance during a sustained period of urban driving.
In an effort to understand the best methods for rolling out hydrogen transport, each city will adopt a different approach to hydrogen vehicle demonstration, trialling different vehicle types and approaches to fuelling infrastructure rollout.
In London, a new hydrogen fuelling station will connect up the City's three fuelling stations that will be in operation. This will focus on the development of hydrogen transport infrastructure in urban centres.
While in Copenhagen, a publicly accessible fuelling network will be developed and linked to other majors cities around Denmark as part of an effort to secure a countrywide network for hydrogen transport from 2015.

Communists' Contribution to the Struggle for Social Justice
BV Raghavulu
In spite of all these factors, it can be justifiably stated that the involvement of communists in the struggle against social oppression cannot be belittled and is no less than anybody else's. EMS Namboodiripad had stated: "In the early days of socialist communist movement (in Kerala), socialist - communists championed the democratic aspirations of the oppressed Hindu castes and Muslim and Christian minorities against caste Hindu clique….The people of the Left were seen as determined fighters against caste and communal division, solid assets of the democratic movement".
During the freedom struggle there used to be four main viewpoints on the question of caste discrimination and social oppression among the political forces. RSS was the representative of the hardened feudal reaction. Manu dharmasastra was its guiding philosophy. It considered caste system as a great social system that is continuing from the 'golden age of ancient India'. It is hence against any struggle for a social reform movement. Even after independence, the RSS and its political off-springs, earlier Jana Sangh and later BJP, essentially pursued the same Manu dharma, together with social engineering to suit its purposes.
Gandhiji, who headed the mainstream of the national movement admired the four varna system (chatur varna system). However, he was against untouchability and other such regressive features. He strove to merge his constructive activity for its eradication with the freedom struggle. Rather than the urge to eradicate caste system, the desire to make people from the lower castes a part of the freedom struggle drove the understanding of Congress. This understanding still prevails among the ruling classes even after our independence. Hence, instead of eliminating caste oppression, they are busy in creating a middle-class among these castes offering only the provision of reservations and representation.
Dr Babasaheb B R Ambedkar represented the most radical trend. He stated that freedom and equality are not possible under the caste system, so his declared objective was annihilation of caste. He started the struggle against untouchability practiced against the dalits. Though his objective was very radical, the path chosen by him – reservations, representation and religious conversions – failed to show a solution for the annihilation of caste. Many of those who claim to be the inheritors of his legacy, do not carry even the radicalism of Ambedkar. They have confined themselves to the liberal solutions proposed by the ruling class parties.
It is only the Communist Party that had not only declared elimination of caste system as its objective, but also showed a correct path for its achievement. In these hundred years, it strove its best to achieve this objective. The Communist Party felt that the ideological struggle against caste and the forms of caste discrimination and oppression should be carried along with the struggle for immediate relief simultaneously. The Party had also declared that this struggle is however not sufficient and that it should be combined with the struggle against feudal exploitation and concentration of land among the landlords and upper-castes, the source from which they derive their strength. We can understand how hard the communists worked to realise these objectives, by studying the history of communist movement.
In the Draft Platform of Action, (1930) considered to be the first Programme of the Communist Party, it was explicitly stated: "The CP of India fights for the complete abolition of slavery, the caste system and caste inequality in all its forms (social, cultural, etc). The CP of India fights for the complete and absolute equality of the working pariahs (untouchables) and all the toilers of our country".
Communists accused in the Meerut Conspiracy Case, denounced the caste system in their general statement given before the court. They explained how caste system had established its hegemony in our villages. They talked about the necessity of an agrarian revolution for the elimination of caste oppression. Bhagat Singh, who was already attracted towards socialism and communism, wrote an essay in 1929 on untouchability and the need for the elimination of caste system. He supported the proposal for separate constituencies for dalits that was being debated during that period.
Social reform movements were always part of the daily activities of the communists. The struggle against caste and gender discrimination was part of all their struggles. The lives of Comrades P Sundarayya in Andhra Pradesh, A K Gopalan, Krishna Pillai and EMS Namboodiripad in Kerala, P Ramamurti, Jeevanandam and Srinivasa Rao in Tamilnadu, S V Parulekar, B T Ranadive and R C More in Maharashtra, depict the pioneering work of communists against caste discrimination. Not only these leaders, but the lives of almost all the communists during this period were intertwined with the struggle against caste discrimination and social equality. In the course of their political journey, which had started from their struggle against the discrimination of women, caste system and for social reform, they understood the limitations of such struggles and turned towards socialism and became communists.
Excerpts from various resolutions adopted by the Communist Party in its various Congresses show us how extensive was communists work for social reform.
Reviewing the work done in the Andhra region, a report of that period states: "It (the Communist Party) had fought the devil of untouchability. Members of the Party shared food with the untouchables, lived with them and shared their sorrows and joys. Moreover, the very nature of the class struggle was such that it has unified under one banner the touchables and untouchables as well. Marriage ceremonies were simplified….inter-caste marriages were widely popularised and members of the Party were always in the forefront". Such kinds of activities were carried out throughout the country in that period.
Overcoming caste barriers and establishing unity was an important component in all the struggles conducted during that period, particularly in the agrarian struggles. If we analyse the literature, songs and other cultural forms produced during the course of these struggles, we can understand how anti-caste consciousness was created among the people.
During agrarian struggles like the Tebhaga, Punnapra-Vayalar, the glorious Telangana armed struggle, etc., people got united irrespective of their castes and fought together. Experience of the Telangana armed struggle shows: "Caste distinctions were deep-rooted in the villages. In the struggle against the government, all people were forced to work and fight collectively without any distinction of caste and creed and so after this, fighting the evil of untouchability became easier. In guerrilla squads, equality and mutual respect were strictly practiced. And thus practice changed the ideas of the people".
Learning from experiences gained from the struggle against untouchability and caste discrimination, the Second Congress of the Party (1948) emphasised: "Every discrimination against untouchables must be denounced as a bourgeois attempt to keep the masses disunited and every just demand of theirs must be fought for as a part of the common struggle for peoples' rights".
Even after attaining independence, there is no change in the communist movement's objective in the struggle for the elimination of caste system. Though initially political, ideological and organisational issues had an impact on the implementation of its decisions and carrying out its policies, soon the emphasis on anti-caste and other social reforms activities regained its importance.
The Programme adopted by the Seventh Congress of the Party (1964) stressed the importance of fighting against untouchability, caste distinctions, unequal treatment of women, inadequate protection to the religious minorities, etc., as a part of the struggle for people's democratic revolution.
Activities and struggles against untouchability, caste discrimination in states like Tamilnadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and certain Hindi speaking states show communists' commitment towards this objective. Measures undertaken by the communist governments in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura for the implementation of land reforms, struck at the base of feudal oppression, ensured self-respect and gave strength to dalits and other backward castes to stand up to upper-caste hegemony.
In spite of many struggles against untouchability and for the self-respect of backward sections in the society in these hundred years, the task of demolishing the basis of the caste system still remains. Even though old feudal relations are weakening, developing capitalist classes still want the continuation of caste system. They need caste to increase their exploitation, divide people and pursue their vote-bank politics. It is for this reason that today, the struggle for the elimination of caste is intrinsically linked with the struggle against the entire capitalist system. For this reason, along with our struggles for temporary relief measures against caste oppression like social reforms, reservations, representation and welfare, etc., we need to struggle for the still uncompleted tasks of breaking land concentration and the defeat of capitalist forces that are ensuring the survival of caste system.
The path shown by the communist movement from its inception is still relevant. Temporary relief and social reform measures are necessary, but are not sufficient. Agrarian revolution and attainment of socialism alone can lead to the complete elimination of caste system. Experiences of these hundred years of movement vindicate this perspective of the communist movement.

Q: iOS - Scrolling Images from plist data I have created a gallery with UICollectionView , and load a set of images from a plist file , when user touches each cell , a fullscreen image will be loaded (same as iPhone's Photos application) , so I have faced with a problem which is when photo will be fullscreen I can not scroll and view other images , here is my codes :
then in PhotosViewerController :
-(void) creatContentWithNumerOfPage: (NSInteger) numberOfPage andCurrentPage: (NSInteger) currentPage andImageArray:(NSArray *)imageArray {

    self.pageControl.numberOfPages = numberOfPage;
    self.pageControl.currentPage = currentPage;
    [pageScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width * pageControl.numberOfPages, self.view.frame.size.height)];
    pageScrollView.delegate = self;
    [self.view addSubview: pageScrollView];

    NSMutableArray *mArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:thumbnailViewController.imageArray.count];
    for (int i = 0; i <= thumbnailViewController.imageArray.count; i++)
    {

        NSDictionary *picturesDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Photos" ofType:@"plist"]];
        imageArray = [picturesDictionary objectForKey:@"PhotosArray"];

        fullScreen = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[imageArray objectAtIndex:currentPage]]];
        [fullScreen setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];
        fullScreen.frame = self.view.frame;

        [mArray addObject:fullScreen];
        [pageScrollView addSubview:fullScreen];
    }

}

EDITED : (solution)
-(void) creatContentWithImages:(NSArray*)imageArray andCurrentPage:(NSInteger)currentPage{

    self.pageControl.numberOfPages = imageArray.count;
    self.pageControl.currentPage = currentPage;
    [self.pageScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.pageScrollView.frame.size.width * imageArray.count, self.pageScrollView.frame.size.height)];

    for (int i = 0; i < imageArray.count; i++)
    {

        NSDictionary *picturesDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Photos" ofType:@"plist"]];
        imageArray = [picturesDictionary objectForKey:@"PhotosArray"];

        fullScreen = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[imageArray objectAtIndex:i]]];

        [fullScreen setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];
        fullScreen.frame = CGRectMake(i*self.pageScrollView.frame.size.width, 0, self.pageScrollView.frame.size.width, self.pageScrollView.frame.size.height);

        [self.pageScrollView addSubview:fullScreen];
    }

    [self scrollToPage:currentPage animated:NO];

}

A: Your code have a lot of issues, for example

*

*you call creatContentWithImages before viewDidLoad method and at this
point we can't expect real values of self.view.frame or
self.pageScrollView.frame, you have to call it in/after viewDidLoad.
Maybe like this:
[self presentViewController:photosViewController animated:YES completion:^{
    [photoViewController creatContentWithImages:images andCurrentPage:row];
}];

*in cycle you always use currentPage instead of i ivar

*you send imageArray into creatContentWithNumerOfPage method but
for some reason this array is being overriden here with new data (I
suppose with the same data)

*it's also unclear why you perform [self.view addSubview:
pageScrollView] - is UIScrollView created programmatically? But in which place it happens?

*when you operate with frames then you should use UIScrollView frame,
not UIView, if your scroll size will be different from UIView then
design will be broken as well.

I've changed it and improved some things, so let look at this (I posted all whole PhotosViewerController.m file)
#import "PhotosViewerController.h"

Today in DC, newly-minted Washington Wizards import Jan Vesely was introduced to the media. He was asked about his new team ("We can run fast break"), who he models his game after ("When I was kid, I was watching Dirk"), and, of course, the kiss heard 'round the internet.
In case you're just joining us, Vesely endeared himself to millions of fans (thanks, YouTube!) when he pretty much made out with his very tall girlfriend after the Wizards called his name on draft night. Here's video, in case you missed it.
So, yes, Newark loves her, and so does the web.
Today, when we heard that Vesely's girlfriend, Eva Kodouskova, would be attending her boyfriend's introductory press conference, we were happy. And when we heard her sister (actually, turned out it was Vesely's sister) would be there? We were intrigued.
Unfortunately, there are only two photos of Kodouskova and Vesely's sister, and both of the background variety. But, from what we can tell, Eva's sister is lovely as well (note: according to @MarekHofman, that's not Eva's sister, it's Vesely's). Hooray for overseas basketball players who stick with their basketball-playing girlfriends!

Practical advice on current issues.
Author: Anderson, Kevin D.
Position: In tax law
Corporations with federal net operating losses (NOLs) or built-in losses need to be cognizant of the potential limitations imposed by Sec. 382. When an ownership change occurs within the meaning of Sec. 382, a loss corporation may be limited in its ability to use NOLs and certain tax credits, as well as deduct built-in losses. Generally, an ownership change occurs when the cumulative ownership of 5%-or-more shareholders of a loss corporation increases by more than 50 percentage points within a three-year period. An ownership change may occur from a variety of transactions, such as stock issuances and stock acquisitions by 5%-or-more shareholders. Stock redemptions, or transactions having the effect of a redemption, may also cause an ownership change and are the focus of this item.
When an ownership change occurs, the annual limitation is calculated under Sec. 382(b)(1) as the value of the old loss corporation multiplied by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Value is generally determined as the value of the corporation's stock immediately before the date of the ownership change. Therefore, if an issuance of shares triggers an ownership change, the value infused by that issuance is not taken into account in calculating the Sec. 382 limitation. An exception to this general rule is provided in Sec. 382(e)(2), which requires value to reflect any redemption or corporate contraction that takes place in connection with an ownership change. Therefore, where an ownership change is triggered by a redemption, the limitation is based on the value of the loss corporation after the redemption has occurred.
The application of Sec. 382(e)(2) may not always be clear. Corporate contraction language was added to Sec. 382(e)(2) as part of the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988, RL. 100-647, which expanded the scope of Sec. 382(e)(2) to apply to a reduction in value to loss corporations undergoing one or more events that in substance have the effect of a redemption. The Joint Committee report describes the additional language as applying to acquisitions in which "aggregate corporate value is directly or indirectly reduced or burdened by debt to provide funds to the old shareholders" (Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, Description of the Technical Corrections Act of'1988 (H.R. 4333 and S. 2238) (JCS-10-88), p. 44 (March 31,1988)). One such transaction is a purchase where the acquirer uses third-party debt to fund a portion of the consideration and thereafter pays it off with funds of the target, sometimes referred to as a "bootstrap" acquisition. This may include scenarios where the debt is "pushed down" to the books of the target by the acquirer. It may also include situations where the target's operations are the source of repayment for the debt despite the actual liability being booked on a separate entity, for example, a new holding company.
Example 1: P, a partnership, wishes to acquire T, a corporation with NOL carryovers. To acquire T, P forms S, a merger subsidiary, by contributing cash of $50 and debt of $50 in exchange for shares of S. S is then merged with and into T with T surviving, with shareholders of T receiving $100 of consideration in exchange for their shares of T As a result of the merger, T is owned 100% by P and is determined to have undergone an ownership change within the meaning of Sec. 382. Subsequent to its acquisition, the operations of T pay down the outstanding $50 of debt that became a liability of T as a result of its merger with S. This transaction appears to be a redemption in part for federal tax purposes (see Rev. Rul. 78-250).
Example 2: P, a partnership, wishes to acquire T, a corporation with NOL carryovers. To acquire T, P forms a holding company, H, by contributing $50 of cash and $50 of debt in exchange for shares of H. H then purchases all the shares of T solely for $100 of cash consideration. As a result of the purchase of shares, T is owned 100% by H and is determined to have undergone an ownership change within the meaning of Sec. 382. Subsequent to the acquisition, H and T file a consolidated federal tax return. H has no other subsidiaries and holds no assets other than its investment in T. The debt used in acquiring the shares of T remains on the books of H.
In both Examples 1 and 2, corporate value is burdened by debt incurred to provide a portion of the proceeds to selling shareholders. In Example 1, the debt is a direct obligation of T, the target, as a result of its merger with S. In Example 2, although the debt resides at H, the operations of T appear to be the primary means of paying off the liability. Both Examples 1 and 2 appear to be corporate contractions within the meaning of Sec. 382(e)(2). Therefore, in both scenarios, the initial value of the loss corporation T as of the ownership change date should be reduced from $100 to $50, accounting for the redeemed value. In contrast, a contraction does not appear to occur where the acquiring entity has other business lines and/or subsidiaries that are able to repay debt incurred in the acquisition. Changing the facts of Example 2, where H also owns S1 and S2, operating subsidiaries with revenue sufficient to pay down the $50 of debt held at H, a contraction does not appear to occur within the meaning of Sec. 382(e) (2) (see Letter Ruling 200406027).
The language of Sec. 382(e)(2) states it applies to redemptions and contractions that occur "in connection with an ownership change." Therefore, the portion of the transaction involving a redemption or contraction does not need to occur before or simultaneous with the ownership change date, as long as it occurs "in connection with" the ownership change. This appears to broaden the scope of the limitation to transfers, such as loans or distributions, made from the loss corporation following an ownership change (see Field Service Advice 200140049).
Further, the application of Sec. 382(e)(2) will not necessarily apply parallel to the determination of share basis, specifically, under the consolidated return regulations. To illustrate, in Example 2, P would appear to take an initial basis in H of $50, the amount of the cash contributed. However, H appears to take an initial basis in T of $100, although it may have an acquired value of $50 for Sec. 382 purposes. There is no equivalent provision within the consolidated return regulations such that the basis of T shares held by H would be reduced without H actually contributing the $50 liability to T, with the exception that basis would be reduced when and if T made a distribution to H under Regs. Sec. 1.1502-32(b)(2)(iv).
Corporations undergoing a Sec. 382 ownership change should devote attention to understanding the substance of the transactions causing the change. A review of the sources of funds and plans for the repayment of debt is important in understanding whether Sec. 382(e)(2) applies, even where the structure does not appear to be a redemption. Where a redemption or corporate contraction does occur, the corporation's value must be reduced in calculating the Sec. 382 limitation.

Minimizing gain in a dividend-equivalent redemption
This item presents a potential opportunity to minimize the tax impact of a distribution by a closely held corporation that is not made out of the corporation's earnings and profits (E&P). In general, Sec. 301 provides that corporate distributions are treated as (1) dividends to the extent of the corporation's current or accumulated E&P; (2) return of capital to the extent of the shareholder's tax basis in the shares; and (3) gain from the sale or exchange of the shares to the extent that it exceeds the shareholder's adjusted basis in the shares. The application of this provision is fairly straightforward where a share-holder owns a single block of shares. However, if a shareholder owns multiple blocks of shares with differing tax bases, the application of Sec. 301 is more complex. The following example illustrates this complexity.
Example: Corporation A makes a distribution of $200 and has $0 of E&P. The fair market value of the stock is $1 per share, and it is owned 100% by B with the following tax bases: 100 shares with zero basis in block 1; 100 shares with a $100 basis in block 2; and 200 shares with a $400 basis in block 3.
Tax treatment of a regular distribution
Prop. Regs. Sec. 1.301-2(a), issued in 2009 (REG-143686-07), provides that corporate distributions are treated as proportionally made with respect to each share of stock and that Sec. 301 is applied on a per-share basis. While this regulation will not become effective until it is issued in final form, it follows the decision in Johnson, 435 F.2d 1257 (4th Cir. 1971), which established precedent for the recovery of tax basis in a Sec. 301 distribution.
Applying this to the above example, B cannot offset the $200 distribution against his $500 aggregate basis in the shares. Instead B is treated as receiving $50 with respect to block 1, $50 with respect to block 2, and $100 with respect to block 3. This would result in capital gain of $50 (since block 1 has zero basis) and a reduction of basis in block 2 from $100 to $50 and a reduction in basis for block 3 from $400 to $300.
Share redemption vs. regular distribution
What if, instead of making a $200 regular distribution, Corporation A redeems B's block 3 shares for $200? Since B would continue to own 100% of Corporation A following the redemption, Sec. 302(d) would apply, and the redemption would be treated as a distribution to which Sec. 301 applies (and not as a sale or exchange of the block 3 shares). As Corporation A has no E&P, under Sec. 301(c), the proceeds are first applied to reduce B's stock basis, and any excess is treated as gain from the sale or exchange of shares. Once again, the issue is how to apply B's stock basis in this scenario.

GMO Products as a Condition for Ukraine to Enter WTO?
Ukrayinska Pravda, 24.10.2007
translated by Anna Ivanchenko
http://www2.pravda.com.ua/en/news/2007/10/24/9250.htm
On October 25 in Geneva final round of negotiations on Ukraine joining World Trade Organization will take place; however, the issue of obligatory marking of products containing genetically modified organisms remains unsolved.
Liga website published an article 'Gene Engineering May Obstruct Ukraine's Way to WTO' drawing the readers' attention to this problem.
The author of the article reminds that the Cabinet of Ministers decided to introduce an obligation of marking genetically modified foodstuffs starting from November 1, 2007.
'However, the American side of WTO holds a firm stand against such actions,' runs the article.
'It is common knowledge that the USA is among the biggest exporters of this kind of foodstuffs. That is why their actions can perhaps be interpreted as unwillingness to lose markets for their products,' notes the author.
Genetically modified organisms are those organisms the genetic material of which changed not as a consequence of replication and/or natural recombination but because of a modified gene or a gene of other biological species or kind added.
According to Kateryna Kartava, Ph.D., doctors don't know which diseases a person can face after consuming gene engineering products.
After consuming such products the anti-gene composition of body tissues will be changing; as a result the immune system will start to destroy its own organism, notes the expert.
The author cites the Minister of Economy Anatoliy Kinakh according to whom the issue of GMO products should be dealt with by prioritizing health of Ukrainian citizens and strictly controlling the quality of foodstuffs imported into Ukraine nowadays.
Meanwhile State Commission of Consumption Standards of Ukraine insists on compulsory marking of at least children's food. As Mr. Kinakh noted, it is an obligatory norm in all EU countries.
According to the data of All-Ukrainian Ecological League, 90 per cent of Ukrainian foodstuffs do not contain genetically modified organisms, notes the author.
