Uprooting Corruption, Improved Education System Top Priorities: PM
Khalid Iqbal
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan says regional peace is facing serious threats due to the Indian government's policies based on RSS-ideology.
Talking to a delegation of Virginia University in Islamabad today, he said the identity of Indian people themselves has been threatened by the Indian government's fascist policies.
Strongly condemning the curfew continuing in occupied Kashmir for over 150 days, he said this tyranny of the Indian government has exposed its claims about democracy.
Imran Khan said the present government believes in full protection to the rights of minorities and considering them as equal citizens of the country.
About the economic situation in the country, the Prime Minister said the economy has been stabilized owing to the strenuous efforts of the PTI government, and now there is a clear improvement in the economic indicators.
The Prime Minister said the government is making efforts to introduce a uniformed education system so that the social division caused by the prevailing education system could be eliminated.

2021 Faculty Fellows
Recipients of the Institute for Social Transformation's Catalyze Grants and Emerging Scholar Grants. Learn more about each project and fellow below.
Applications are now open for the 2022 funding cycle. Deadline is January 31, 2022. Click here to learn more.
Seed Grants $500-$2,500
Grace Weishi Gu, Associate Professor, Economics
"Global Banking Capital Allocation Project"
How much are countries connected through banks? To what extent are domestic banks exposed to foreign economic influences? Which other countries' banks are lending to your country rain or shine? Our project will investigate these questions by collecting data around the world and establishing an open data source for the research community through collaborative efforts. The results will not only help us better understand how the world is connected sharing prosperity and spilling over risks, but also provide the database that benefits future research and international economic policymaking for years to come. Co-Applicant is Isha Agarwal from UBC Sauder School of Business.
Fernando Leiva, Professor, Latin American & Latino Studies
"Understanding Disaster Extractivism and the Covid 19 Pandemic"
With this seed grant we will catalyze the development of a collective research proposal by UCSC's Critical Cultural Political Economy (CCPE) of Extractivism Research Cluster. We propose a series of exploratory workshops convening thought leaders that will (1) deepen understanding of the latest trends in the field of socio-ecological conflict studies; and (2) strengthen the convergence of cluster members around a collective research project on strategies of extractive corporations, the state, and affected communities immediately before and during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Our previous activities suggest extractivist corporations have developed various strategies to re-signify their role in society and redefine relations with the state and local communities to preempt and dissolve opposition to extractive operations. These strategies are insufficiently understood. Co-Applicant is Alejandra Watanabe-Farro in Latin American & Latino Studies.
Jeremy Yamashiro, Assistant Professor, Psychology
"Social Representations of National Decline: Social and Cognitive Components"
Using nationally representative surveys and psychological laboratory work, I will examine representations of national decline in the USA and several other democracies with strong illiberal movements. I aim to understand the cognitive characteristics of declinist representations, their consequences for political behaviors, and the conditions under which declinist representations are modifiable. This funding will primarily support research and travel costs for two prospective PhD students, and will provide cost-share funds for additional grant applications currently in progress. I will be the lead, but this research is part of a larger collaboration on collective temporal thought with colleagues in France, Canada, New Zealand, Turkey, and China. The project will host two interdisciplinary meetings on collective intertemporal thought.
Sprout Grants $2,500 to $15,000
Lindsey Dillon, Assistant Professor, Sociology
"Climate Grief, Climate Crisis, and Collective Action"
"Climate Grief, Climate Crisis, and Collective Action," studies the new phenomenon of climate crisis support groups and other individual and collective expressions of ecological anxiety and loss. Emotions are an understudied aspect of the climate crisis, which is typically represented as a set of abstract numbers and foreboding predictions on a global scale. Climate crisis support groups and other expressions of grief represent emergent social spaces through which people have begun to articulate an emotional lexicon of ecological anxiety and loss, and build new publics around the climate crisis. At the crux of my project is an interest in linkages between emotion, subjectivity, political behavior, and social transformation.
Madeleine Fairbairn, Assistant Professor, Environmental Studies
"Farmland Investment and African American Land Access in the US Southeast"
Over the past decade, financial investors have taken an increasing interest in US farmland. The proposed project investigates how this trend intersects with racialized processes of land access and dispossession in the US Southeast. Since the mid-twentieth century, Black farmers have lost land at a rate far exceeding white farmers. This is due to a range of factors, including institutional racism in the allocation of government services and the prevalence of the collective ownership form known as "heirs' property." This collaboration with the National Family Farms Coalition (NFFC) will establish a baseline understanding of whether and how the already-precarious land access of Black farmers may be affected by growing farmland investment. Co-applicants are Elsa Calderon in Environmental Studies and Jordan Treakle from the National Family Farms Coalition.
Shelly Grabe, Professor, Psychology
"Evidence for Equity: Mechanisms for Advancing Gender Equity and Political Parity in Perú"
Legislation and policy change focused on gender equity in Perú have pathbreaking implications for women globally. In 2019, Perú's National Gender Equality Policy (Decree 008) was passed with strategic goals to eliminate structural discrimination. In 2020 the Peruvian Congress passed a ground-breaking Gender Parity Law (Law 31030) ensuring that, beginning in 2021, 50% of all candidates seeking election in public office be women. This community-based project will: 1) examine how women in Perú gained entry into representational politics in a manner that allowed the legislation of a women-centered agenda, and, 2) include the initial data in grant proposals aimed at developing research-based solutions that can be applied in the U.S.
Julie Guthman, Professor, Community Studies
"Investigating the Ontologies of Agroecology and Ag-tech with Farmers: A Pilot Project"
Two fields claim their practices can get us closer to a better farming future: agricultural-technology and agroecology. Yet, it is unclear whether these approaches are compatible, given the different ontologies on which they are built. This project will pilot a larger study of ontologies of farming in California in order to ascertain whether and how such ontological differences are surmountable with committed collaboration. Core activities will entail the development of a literature review and pilot field research, both designed to make the larger study attractive to the NSF's STS program. The broader goal will be to encourage farming practices that draw on the best of both worlds in furtherance of ecological and social justice outcomes. Co-applicant is Summer Sullivan in Environmental Studies.
Naya Jones, Assistant Professor, Sociology
"Cultivating Black Botany: A Research and Pedagogy Project"
Cultivating Black Botany aims to extend the field of Black botany through research and pedagogy. For research, the Sprout Grant will further develop my manuscript *On the Move: Black Medicinal Botany and the Great Migration* On the Move traces botanical legacies of the Great Migration. From 1917 to 1960, an estimated 6 million African-Americans migrated from the South to other regions of the United States including the Midwest and West. Using interdisciplinary methods, *On the Move* considers how migrants and their descendants have practiced, passed on, and mobilized botanical knowledge for community health and healing in the Midwest and Western United States. For related pedagogy, the grant will support the launch of a Black Botany Studio, a research and practice lab designed to support research on Black plant geographies through methods training, collaborative dialogues, and workshops with visiting scholars and artists.
Regina Day Langhout, Professor, Psychology
"We Belong Too: Youth Voices for Action and Equity"
We Belong Too: Youth Voices for Action and Equity begins a new CISER cycle by bringing together faculty and undergraduates in psychology and sociology to work with the newly formed Youth Action Network (YAN). This collaboration will enable capacity building for adults and youth as YAN creates a space where youth leadership and voice are taken seriously to impact policy and practices county-wide. The collaborative will support youth in identifying and researching an issue they identify, and track outcomes at the individual, organization, and county levels. Outcomes will be tracked for YAN youth, as well as for undergraduates in Psyc 159H (Community-Based Interventions) and Socy 139T (Community Engaged Research Practicum). Co-applicants are Steve McKay and Rebecca London in Sociology.
Flora Lu, Professor, Environmental Studies
"SPROUTing Youth Leadership for Environmental and Community Health in Santa Cruz and Salinas"
Latinx communities in agricultural regions disproportionately suffer from environmental injustices, from pesticide drift to landfills, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and climate disruption. The perspectives of farmworkers, the issues they confront, and how to enact positive change are the foci of an environmental justice youth leadership academy (EJYLA) that we propose. Specifically, the project will: (1) forge a partnership between youth in the Salinas Valley and UCSC students; (2) undertake YPAR about the lived experiences of youth in environmental justice communities; (3) co-develop curricula linking sustainability and social justice; and (4) leverage these insights into grant proposals that can sustain the EJYLA moving forward. Co-applicants are: Rebecca Hernandez, Director of the American Indian Resource Center and Co-founder of the People of Color Sustainability Collective; Linnea Beckett, Director of the Apprenticeship in Community Engaged Research and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Colleges Nine and Ten; Tashina Vavuris, Graduate student in Environmental Studies; Aysha Peterson, Graduate student in Environmental Studies; and Christopher Lang, Graduate student in Environmental Studies.
Nirvikar Singh, Distinguished Professor, Economics
"Structural Economic Factors in the US Racial Wealth Gap: An Empirical Analysis"
We use household data from the US Survey of Consumer Finances to identify contributing factors for the Black-White wealth gap. Amid general increases in US income and wealth inequality, this particular gap is large and increasing – a matter of national concern. Initial analysis of 2016 data indicates that inheritance, education and occupation are structurally related to differences in Black-White wealth levels. Levels and wealth increments of homeownership and business ownership also differ significantly, even controlling for other characteristics. This work will be extended to other years, and analysis of wealth dynamics of birth-year cohorts over time. The outcome will be stronger justifications for policies to reduce these wealth gaps.
Harvest Grants $500 – $1,500
Mark Fathi Massoud, Professor, Politics
"Shari'a, Inshallah: Finding God in Somali Legal Politics (Cambridge University Press)"
Envisioning an equitable and sustainable future involves understanding the ways that religious law supports peacebuilding and human rights. Shari'a, Inshallah (Cambridge University Press, 2021) shows how, for nearly 150 years since the start of European colonialism in the Horn of Africa, the Somali people have invoked shari'a (commonly translated as Islamic law), especially in the struggle for national identity, peace, and human rights. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, qualitative interviews, and archival research, this project addresses the interplay among religion, the rule of law, and empire. The Harvest Grant supports dissemination of Shari'a, Inshallah to key libraries, policymakers, scholars, and stakeholders.

"Moorings: The Dhow Trade, Capitalism and Sovereignty in the Western Indian Ocean"
This book project explores the mutually constituted relationship between mobility, capitalism, and sovereignty in the Indian Ocean. Focusing on dhows or indigenous wooden sailing vessels that have traversed the Indian Ocean since the pre-colonial era, I examine how these trade networks operate based on Indian Ocean idioms of exchange and have been pushed into the underbelly of the global economy through the legal regimes of colonial and post-colonial states. While most studies contend that the dhow trade receded by the end of the colonial era, I demonstrate how the dhow trade persists in the margins of states, and has come to be viewed with suspicion. Since 9/11, governments have assumed that dhows illegally transport weapons and people. Rather than taking a presentist view of these security issues, I argue that they gesture to a larger problematic: a deep-rooted anxiety over competing notions of sovereignty. Based on archival and ethnographic research across India, Kenya, the UK, Tanzania, the UAE, and Qatar this project unpacks how these indigenous shipping networks have articulated with different state forms. I demonstrate how this form of vernacular capitalism is a crucial intermediary between local, regional, and global circuits of exchange that are braided with practices and histories of sovereignty. The manuscript ultimately shows how the economic, social, political, and religious domains are deeply embedded in each other, capital always dependent on those in the margins.

Beside the captain Zbigniew Radłowski against German film-makers of the serial –UFA Fiction and ZDF (the 2md programme of the German TV) there was the World Union of National Army Soldiers. As the Redoubt of Good Name monitoring the process and supporting plaintiffs wrote, they had accused the film-makers of 'violation of personal rights understood as a right to the national identity, national pride and national dignity as well as freedom from speech of hatred'.
Under the verdict announced on 28 December 2018 in the District Court in Cracow, the film-makers of the serial 'Our mothers, our fathers' are supposed to publish their apologies on the Polish and German televisions, on their internet websites and pay 20 thousand zlotys of redress to the captain Zbigniew Radłowski. The apologies are to be presented on TVP1 and on channels of the German TV: ZDF, ZDFneo and Sat3 ( these TV stations broadcast the serial), and on the websites of ZDF and UFA Fiction this information is to be for three months. The court also made the defendants to commit to give a statement before every time the serial is broadcast in any country that 'all characters of the National Army soldiers in the serial are fictional and any similarity to real people is unintentional, that these were the Germans who were occupying Poland in the years 1939-1945, pursuing the policy of extermination of Poles and Jews, and the National Army soldiers in a definite majority were helping Jews, hiding them despite the threat of being killed'.
The court was not dealing with the evaluation of all Poles' behaviours, as it was restricted to demand a lawsuit in this issue and was dealing with evaluating and a way of presenting the National Army soldiers in the German serial 'Our mothers, our fathers' – said a judge Kamil Grzesik. He also noted the plaintiffs – the captain Zbigniew Radłowski and the World Union of the National Army soldiers. He reminded about the life history of the captain Radłowski who, as a 16-year-old boy, and his family were arrested by Gestapo in 1940 and in 1941 was transported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. When he was released from the camp, he returned to Warsaw where he began his conspiracy activity in the Union of Armed Struggle and then – a fight in the battalion Chrobry. He took part in the Warsaw Uprising and after its collapse he was pursuing a further fight for free Poland. Referring to the recalled facts, the judge said: - In the opinion of the court, the life of Mr. Radłowski, his historic past are the reason for accepting the fact that the film which gives a false picture of the National Army soldiers, directly presents the good of Mr. Zbigniew Radłowski, and this is the good in the form of worship and dignity of Mr. Radłowski. Referring to another plaintiff, the judge reminded that the purpose of the World Union of the National Army Soldiers is, among the others, defence of the dignity of the good name and remembrance of the National Army, its soldiers and the structures of the underground Polish country and he emphasized: - In the opinion of the court, the basis of the activity of the World Union of the National Army Soldiers, its main statutory purpose, beside the help to those who are still alive, is mainly caring about remembrance of the National Army soldiers.
The three-episodes serial 'Our mothers, our fathers' broadcast in June 2013 in TVP1, raised a hot discussion in Poland on the way of presenting Poles in it during the Nazis occupation – the film was criticized, among the others, for presenting partisans from the National Army as anti-semites and for making Poles co-responsible for the Holocaust. Representatives of the defendant in the judicial process which began in July 2016, were defending the serial saying, among the others, that it had a great significance for a debate taking place in Germany. There were arguments that the serial presented heroism of the National Army soldiers, including the exceptions of unworthy behaviours and it was emphasized that it is a feature film so, in relation to it, creative freedom of its authors was permitted.
The judge Grzesik emphasized that the key to solve the dispute was an evaluation of the character of the film. He reminded that the serial included authentic fragments of chronicles and he noted: - Even if they were not authentic fragments of chronicles, as we are not sure about it, they were constructed in such a way that they referred to authentic chronicles. He also referred to a way of presenting those fragments, including among the others the fact that they were black and white and referred to the times of the Second World War: - They finished and after them there were colourful, feature scenes. They were to raise a viewer's belief that this film is a part of authentic history. And he added: - Everybody who saw the subtitles after the film, could conclude that if professors consulters signed under this film, it shows authentic events. The judge also noted fragments of the BBC radio program placed in the film, as well as authentic newspapers or particular dates and towns names. – I think that this film cannot fulfill conditions completely about which the defendant speaks, that is, a complete feature film – he said. – It may be showing fictional events at the background of authentic historic events and it is to raise a viewer's belief that these events are real history.
After hearing the verdict, the 94-year-old captain Zbigniew Radłowski said: - I have lived long, I experienced a lot, but no of my previous experiences has prepared me for this situation – for the necessity of a fight for a historic truth in courts a few dozen years after the Second World War ended. This truth about the events which were experienced by lots of million Poles, seemed to us so obvious that impossible to question. And he added: - I did for Poland what I could, for those who were killed and for our deceased mates from the National Army.
He also appealed to Poles: - Everything is in your hands and in your hearts. Do what you can to defend the truth, so that you could not be ashamed of the mistakes not made by your fathers, grandfathers or great-grandfathers, so that you would not have to pay for the crimes which they did not commit. Remember that you have all kinds of reasons for pride. Poles are a courageous and excellent nation, ready to go with help and pay the highest price for it: the price of life. After that experience there were applause and cheers: 'Honour and glory to heroes!', but the judge reminded that the court is not a place for such a form of behavior.
Dr. Józef Wieczorek participated in the announcement of the verdict but also in the court cases preceding it. The author of an academic blog of a non-conformist was publicizing information about the court hearings and placed recordings of the court cases on the YouTube channel: Józef Wieczorek TV. An observer admits that the verdict announced in December is very important for Poles. He notes: - In the film 'Our mothers, our fathers', undoubtedly personal rights of the National Army soldiers have been violated. No wonder that they began to feel insulted by the content in the serial. I think that what is important in the verdict is acknowledging that an individual, including the captain Radłowski, the National Army soldier, in this case, can be in the role of a plaintiff. Generally, such individual plaintiffs were rejected in the Polish court. Certainly, the captain received support from the World Union of the National Army Soldiers and from the Redoubt of the Good Name but it was him who was the main plaintiff in this court case. It must also be emphasized here that independent media took part in this judicial process. I observed that perhaps those were not crowds but other successive court cases. The fact that representatives of the society turned out to be interested in the court trial is important for its procedure. I think that this is the essential role of media to inform also about what is happening in the courts. Dr Wieczorek notes that the verdict is not final and that directly after it is announced, the representative of the defendant party informed that there would be an appeal from the verdict: - One can suppose that the court case will be submitted to the Tribunal in Strasburg. But what is important is the moral character of this verdict. Awareness that it is not possible at all to start a court case about such issues. It is also important for development of Polish-Jewish relations which should be based on facts, on historical truth.

Business forum highlights power of black consumers
S. Florida Times— September 28, 2017

OPA-LOCKA, Fla. – The buying power of African American consumers has reached more than a trillion dollars, and many residents are looking for ways to keep some of those dollars local in an effort to help support black businesses right here in South Florida.
During a recent forum held by the South Florida Black Business Directory (SFLBBD), titled "Are Black Consumers The Real Problem," nearly 60 individuals gathered at New Life In The City in Opa-locka to participate in an in-depth discussion on black consumer trends, establishing business opportunities and ways to move forward economically.
Outreach representatives from several community partners, including Miami-Dade County Public Schools Office of Economic Opportunity, Broward County Public Schools Minority/Women Business Enterprise and The Credit Group were also onsite at the event to provide assistance with registering businesses and to share important information on available resources.
"It's important that when we talk about establishing and maintaining black businesses, we take into account all perspectives and that no idea is left out," said Crystal Chanel, co-founder of SFLBBD. "Our goal for this event was to ensure that every opinion was heard so that we can collaborate and come up with solutions that will help grow and expand black businesses not only in the Miami area, but around the nation as well."
According to a recent report released by the Selig Center for Economic Growth, African American buying power was estimated at $1.2 trillion in 2016 and is expected to grow to $1.5 trillion by 2021, making it the largest racial minority consumer market.
The report also noted that black buying power increased 98 percent from 2000 to 2016 and will comprise 8.8 percent of the nation's total buying power in 2021.
Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Gordon Eric Knowles, who served as a guest panelist at the forum, said although black spending power has continued to increase over the years, much more emphasis needs to be made by African Americans to help create and establish wealth for those within their very own community.
"Black businesses have been, and will always be, one of our nation's greatest assets.
However, we can't expect our people to prosper economically if we don't support them," said Knowles. "Over the course of history, we became comfortable with just being the average black consumer, but now is the time for us to change the narrative and to start evaluating how we – as a people – are spending our money and what direct impacts it is having on our very own black establishments."
The latest survey by the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy estimated that there are more than 2.6 million blackowned businesses, representing roughly 10 percent of the total number of businesses throughout the nation. Approximately 1.5 million businesses are owned by black women and that number is expected to rise.
The ability to raise capital also plays an important role when looking to launch or expand a business, and studies have shown that minority groups are less likely to use a business loan and more likely to use personal financing, such as family savings, credit cards and personal assets to help start or grow a business.
A Census survey also revealed that only 16 percent of non-minorities felt discouraged from seeking a loan, while almost 30 percent of minorities – which includes African Americans – felt the same way.
"Local municipalities and government agencies absolutely have a role to play when it comes to supporting entrepreneurs and minority-owned businesses financially," said City of West Park Vice Mayor Brian C. Johnson, who also serves as the president and CEO of Minority Builders Coalition Inc. "If we want to turn individual gains into collaborative prosperity here in South Florida, we can't solely rely on black consumers. It is going to take a collective effort to make sure that we are continuing to advocate of behalf of black-owned business, no matter how big or how small."

I wanna come eat at your house!
ahh, i miss those salads… oh i'm craving one right now.. your dressing is pretty much the greatest and mmmmm avacados.. yum yum yum.. miss it! miss you more tho!
This looks really yummy and I want to try it. However … I can't find nama shoyu or miso, so can you recommend a substitution? We are in a small semi-rural area, so the next time I head to "town" I will look. Our local grocery store (which is actually a good one) just doesn't carry these items.
This sounds great- especially for portabellas!

Dick Has Been Flopping Around on TV All Year
Bobby Finger
Filed to:television
After years of teasing, TV has finally begun whipping out the D at a rate that could almost make American audiences think they were in just about any other country. Vulture reports that nine shows contained at least one instance of full-frontal male nudity this year, suggesting that our nation's long-awaited equalization of televised breasts and dicks will could potentially happen before Donald Trump is reelected for a second term.
Writes Vulture:
This fall, Chris Zylka and Christopher Eccleston stripped down in different episodes of HBO's The Leftovers. Ben Daniels used his bare penis in an act of aggression on Flesh and Bone. Outlander's Tobias Menzies didn't bother with a "modesty pouch." Sense8, Shameless, Togetherness, The Affair, Black Sails, and Penny Dreadful all featured men who bared it all.
But even though the Ds have begun escaping the confines of their underwear's weary elastic, Vulture points out that there is still a disconnect between the sexualized female nudity of shows like Game of Thrones, and artsy fartsy penis flopping of shows like The Leftovers. "The small uptick hardly a corrective to exploitative female nudity," they write.
"Heh heh. Small uptick," I laugh.
Offering one explanation for TV's hesitance to show the D, Nancy Pimental, executive producer of the long-running and dick-filled series Shameless, said:
"We feel protective of the guy — is he going to get erect? It's a big exposure," she explains. "With women, you're really just seeing boobs and pubic hair. You're not getting all in there unless it's porn. With a guy, it's game on." Penises "are kind of sacred."
As a man, I can confidently say they are not. And, fortunately for all of us who want more HDDTV, I'm not alone:
"There is a tremendous amount of female nudity out there in popular culture," [Damon] Lindelof says, "and it doesn't make any sense that there isn't enough male nudity." [Mark] Duplass takes it further: "If I'm asking Amanda Peet and Melanie Lynskey to be naked, I better be damn willing to do it myself."

Novak Djokovic: 'I try to direct my thoughts to...'
As the sun set over Wimbledon on Tuesday, Cameron Norrie basked in the adoration of the fans still on the grounds. He was sitting on the media balcony at Wimbledon completing an interview, with fellow first-time semi-finalist Ons Jabeur standing a few feet away as fans flocked to celebrate.
It was an extraordinary day for Norrie, who reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time by defeating Belgium's David Goffin 3-6, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 in a thrilling clash. The 26-year-old became the first Briton since Andy Murray in 2016 to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.
He joined double Wimbledon champions Tim Henman and Roger Taylor as the fourth Briton to reach the singles semi-finals at The Championships in the Open era. Murray has given Norrie advice during his rise to fame and wished him good luck in the locker room ahead of the quarterfinal against Goffin.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who were seated next to Henman, cheered enthusiastically on Court No. 1 as the World No. 12 rallied from a deficit to score the best victory of his career. Outside, the magnificent overlook formerly known as Henman Hill and Murray Mound was, for a day at least, renamed Norrie's Knoll.
The atmosphere there was as electric as it was on track number 1. Overall, as Norrie later said, the experience was a lot to take in. "I don't even know what a mound is," he said. "I would say it doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well as Henman Hill.
(But) I will take it". Norrie said that he was not aware of the support of members of the Royal Family until after he had won a famous victory, but that he was delighted with his presence. "Obviously it's very special to play against them, and they obviously had more interest in my game, which is great," he said.
He will face Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic on his future
In his press conference following his win over Sinner, Novak Djokovic was mum about his immediate future, which he described as 'unpredictable' "What happens after Wimbledon is unpredictable, so I don't pay too much attention to it," said Djokovic.
"I try to direct my thoughts to here and now, and we'll see what happens later." Nevertheless, an upbeat Djokovic said that despite the 'circumstances', he doesn't feel any extra pressure to excel at the Slams, saying Wimbledon has always been special for him.
"I wouldn't say that I have a completely new motivation due to the circumstances," said Djokovic. "I always feel very motivated to show my best tennis at the Grand Slams, especially here, which is probably the most important tournament in the history of our sport."

Chinese zinc smelters agree move to increase revenues
Back Insight

Lead Zinc
A meeting was held in Baoji in Shaanxi province on 28 June 2018, attended by forty-eight mining and metals companies, including lead & zinc miners and smelters.
As a result of this meeting, zinc smelters have once again decided to act to improve margins by cutting output in an attempt to lift TCs. Our Beijing office reports that not much time was spent on discussing cutbacks, according to meeting participants, but smelters proposed to cut production by 10% to try to force TCs higher and improve margins.
Chinese smelters cut back to good effect last year
A similar announcement was made in March last year, when a group of major smelters announced that they would take maintenance in March and April due to low TCs and poor profitability. At the time, the announcement was met with scepticism: the previous joint announcement by ten of China's largest smelters, in December 2015, that they planned to cut 500,000t from their combined 2016 refined output, never materialised. TCs were still high and the effect of Glencore's mine cutbacks were yet to affect the concentrate market.
By the time cutbacks were announced in 2017, mine cutbacks were beginning to take their toll and some smelters were struggling to operate normally due to a shortage of concentrate. It is therefore not clear to what extent the cutbacks in 2017 were voluntary. However, what proportion of smelter cutbacks were forced or voluntary last year is less important and they did materialise, with output falling by 6% year-on-year in April 2017 and by 11% in May 2017, briefly lifting revenues to $800/t.
As is the case now, there were several factors at play last year which caused output to fall so sharply in April and May: planned maintenance; low TCs; high power costs; environmental inspections and weak prices. The most notable of last year's closures was Zhuzhou's 100,000t/y smelter which has closed permanently. Other major smelters which cut back included Hangzhong, Zijin, Xing'an, Western Mining, Baohui and Huludao.
The cutbacks had the desired effect for some smelters, lifting spot TCs and revenues (see chart). It even encouraged smelters such as Chihong Zinc and Germanium and Jiangxi Copper to cancel maintenance in June last year to take advantage of higher prices. We believe that Chinese smelters aim for revenues of at least $450/t although as the charts below show, smelters have at times continued to operate at high utilisation rates, despite relatively low revenues.
Smelter revenues have fallen in recent weeks
We estimate that Chinese smelter revenues slipped below the $450/t target level at the end of last year, before recovering at the start of this year as prices climbed. However, with TCs only just beginning to recover and the arbitrage once again negative for imports, revenues for treating imported concentrate dipped below $450/t again in June 2018.
As we reported in our June China Focus and Zinc Monitor, some smelters had already cut output in 2018 Q2 due to low TCs and a shortage of zinc concentrate; several also took routine maintenance. The three Hunan-based smelters – Taifeng (100,000 t/t), Xuanhua (100,000 t/y) and Sanli (70,000 t/y) have yet to resume output due to a shortage of concentrate and Hangzhong Zinc (300,000 t/y) was recently operating at only 80% of capacity for the same reason.
The latest news we have on Taifeng, Sanli and Xuanhua is that they are now unlikely to be able to resume production in August, as pollution issues at local concentrating mills were exposed by state media in late June. It now seems that any restart will be delayed until later this year, or 2019 Q1.
Luoping (135,000 t/y) in Yunnan has been operating at reduced rates for some months and was forced to close at the end of June by environmental inspectors, due to its failure to deal with a 100,000t zinc slag heap since the last environmental inspection in late 2016. It is currently scheduled to restart operations in late September.
Prior to the announcement of cutbacks in late June, several smelters, which had completed maintenance in mid-June, were planning to resume normal operations at the end of June. The announcement of coordinated action to cut output is clearly a tactic to try to reverse the decline in revenues and it is possible that some of the smelters who agreed to cut by 10% are already operating at lower levels and do not intend to further reduce output. We understand that smelters in Shaanxi province are struggling due to low TCs and low revenues, but we believe that the majority of smelters, especially State-Owned Enterprises and listed companies who have announced a production plan, are unlikely to reduce output unless they are suffering losses.
Baiyin started operations at its new 120,000 t/y smelter in June and we understand that output there will continue to ramp up. Western Mining's 100,000 t/y smelter which started operations in 2016 is also ramping up to capacity now. We believe that most other smelters who are able will try to maintain stable production.
As concentrate availability begins to rise this quarter and next, there should be less of a need for market intervention to lift TCs. Given that TCs are already beginning to edge up and we expect concentrate market tightness to continue easing through the second half of the year, it is possible that real cutbacks will not materialise.
This may delay the sale of the SRB's stockpiled zinc
We assumed that China's SRB would return some of its estimated 250,000t of stockpiled zinc to the market this year and understand that the necessary authorisation to sell at least a portion of this metal was obtained earlier this year. However, if smelters are now acting to try to lift TCs and support prices, this may forestall any sale, given that some of these purchases were made to help support the market in the past.

Boating-linked drinking charges in CO are no big deal, right?
On behalf of Shazam Kianpour of Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C. posted in Drunk Driving Charges on Thursday, June 28, 2018.
The above blog headline query in today's post comes with an implied ending. Namely, that stresses the distinction between a criminal charge levied upon a Colorado resident for drunk driving on a roadway and exactions applied against an intoxicated boater, respectively.
What does it mean to 'refuse' a Breathalyzer test?
On behalf of Shazam Kianpour of Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C. on Tuesday, June 26, 2018.
When it comes to refusing Breathalyzer tests, Colorado has some strict laws. In fact, you may face a license suspension of one year or longer if you refuse to submit to testing after being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).
While many states have laws on the books that explain when it is appropriate for a driver to use the left lane of a multi-lane highway, few states have laws that are as strict as the one in Colorado.
On behalf of Shazam Kianpour of Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C. on Wednesday, June 13, 2018.
Overall, you're a good driver. You obey Denver traffic laws and try to follow the speed limits when commuting to work and going about your daily activities. You're not like the scofflaws out there who routinely zip in and out of traffic, run red lights or blow through stop signs, text their friends while driving and put everyone else's life at risk.

Colorado vehicular homicide DUI likely sounds to readers like a particularly severe criminal offense.


The parliament today passed the Child Marriage Restraint Act-2017 bill keeping the much talked about special provision that allows a boy or a girl to get married before reaching the minimum age limit.
The bill was passed by voice votes in the parliament after State Minister for Women and Children Affairs Meher Afroz Chumki placed it before the House this evening.
Under the special provision, both boys and girls can tie the knot before the minimum age limit of 21 and 18 respectively.
Earlier, the cabinet on November 24 last year approved the draft law for preventing child marriage fixing 18 years as the minimum age for girls to get married with the provision.
The provision allows girls under 18 to be married under "special circumstances".
The cabinet-approved Child Marriage Restraint Act-2016 was placed in Jatiya Sangsad in December last year and sent to the relevant parliamentary body for scrutiny.
What did we learn about Child Marriage in 2016?


Battling against criticism of electronic music as a soulless and mechanic non-craft, Ryan Lee West returns under the alias of Rival Consoles with his latest release, Persona, to further demonstrate the delicate human touch that is ubiquitous within the genre. Having been inspired by Ingmar Bergman's film of the same name, West approaches the album with a growing concern for ontological thought, aiming to explore the discrepancies between perception and reality, as well as those between the inner and outer selves.
It is with the quasi-marching feel of delayed snares on 'Unfolding' that the scene is set for the next 58 minutes of jerks and propulsions, whilst figures split between a swelling tide of sound waves and polyrhythmic pulses, plunging into West's distinctive grid-grappling world. Drawing from Bergman's opening scene with equal eeriness, the sonic space then opens out into the brooding pitch-bends of 'Persona', with a footing in both the arenas of unsettling thriller movie and entrancing dance.
As the album progresses, it becomes clear that the orchestration and dynamics mark this as West's most expansive work to date. Whilst 'I Think So' reels synthesized dots and growling strings through the plains of peripheral vision before thrusting in domineering and reverberant kicks, 'Sun's Abandon' and 'Dreamer's Wake' intersperse vocal samples and acoustic guitar breaks with off-beat frameworks, amalgamating in a more humane imprint.
The themes of human expression and introspection throughout Persona are most apparent, however, on 'Be Kind' and 'Untravel'. Whilst the former builds upon delicate tingles that swim across the stereo image, the latter ripples and unravels through the hairs on the back of the neck which stand in awe of the music's gravitational force.
Persona thus highlights the many faces of Ryan Lee West, which shift from enthralling layers of effects into deeper concerns of cathartic affect; pungent and driving motions often give way to sombre flashes of darkness, where a ponderous and untravelling explorer can be found within.

Blue jeans to remain in athboy in threeyear credit union deal
Thursday, 8th January, 2015 6:15pm
Nick Murphy, manager of Athboy Credit Union, with Meath Macra Blue Jean committee members.
by Paul Murphy
Community and business leaders in Athboy have warmly welcomed the decision by the Blue Jean Country Queen Festival committee to overturn a decision to move the event to Navan and instead keep it in its home base.
The decision had already been made to transfer the June bank holiday festival to Navan but a dramatic intervention by the Athboy Credit Union board of directors at an emergency meeting last Saturday to come on board as main sponsors of the festival for the next three years led to a u-turn by the Macra na Feirme organising committee.
The credit union move, along with pledges of support from other sponsors, followed strong reaction to last week's Meath Chronicle story about the threatened transfer of the Blue Jean Festival to Navan.
Although the Macra committee had heard strong arguments in favour of the switch to Navan, based partly on falling fee-paying revenue to festival events, its members went along with the groundswell of support for the retention of the festival in Athboy, where it has been based for 27 years.
In a statement on the controversy, festival secretary Siobhan Kearney said that following the outpouring of support from the community and local businesses of Athboy, Macra had confirmed the return of the 2015 festival to the town.
"Thanks to the generous support of Athboy Credit Union, who have agreed to a three-year sponsorship deal, the future of the Macra na Feirme festival has been secured all the way up to its 30th anniversary. Athboy Credit Union with its community ethos is a perfect fit for the Blue Jean Country Queen Festival which draws Macra members from throughout the country to the community of Athboy each June bank holiday weekend," she said. Also joining Athboy Credit Union in pledging support for the festival for the next three years is independent county councillor David Gilroy and EPM Contracting Ltd. "This, along with the continued support of the Darnley Lodge Hotel, Athboy traders, existing sponsors, and the community of Athboy, ensures that this year's festival will be better than ever," Ms Kearney predicted.

As I write, I'm sitting in a huge but almost empty conference room on the Gold Coast, Australia. The clatter of contractors dismantling booths and displays and the background noise of the Australian Sky TV news programme trying to make sense of the latest Brexit shenanigans in Westminster is drowning out the noise of spectacular thunderstorm raging outside. I have been at the Conference of Major Superannuation Funds (CMSF) where AHC have been exhibiting. It's one of the largest congregations of Super Funds in Australia, with over a thousand industry delegates responsible between them for managing in excess of Aus.$ 2.7 trillion (£1.45 Trillion) of pension fund assets.
For readers less familiar with the Australian Superannuation industry, it has recently been rocked by two separate and high-profile reviews; The Royal Commission, which has been front-page news and uncovered significant misdemeanours, and the Productivity Commission, which has taken fire at several funds which are inefficient or have appalling fund performance. The net effect is significant change is coming; in terms of customer practice, regulation, and industry consolidation.
Listening to the delegates was enlightening but also slightly depressing. Whilst some organisations get the magnitude of the situation, for too many there is an industry version of the Kubler-Ross change process going on. Only a few organisations have been singled out for public humiliation, and the rest of the industry is caught somewhere between shock and denial, with some of the funds that escaped a public shaming feeling falsely reassured that they've dodged the bullet. Others do recognise a problem but are looking for somebody else to blame or fix the problems for them, not unlike the UK banking crisis where denial meant the industry was too slow to react. "Look over there" will soon give way to a painful reality check closer to home as governments legislate, regulators find their muscles, consumers and the electorate vote with their feet. Many will be forced to consolidate to survive.
The most telling seminar of the week was on purpose and culture, which seems to me to get to the heart of the matter. Shundrawn Thomas, from Northern Trust Asset Management in Chicago, quoting Edmund Burke, put his finger on the issue "for evil to succeed, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing".
His point was that the root of the red faces of the Australian Superannuation or UK Banking industries was not primarily a failure of regulation, governance, or remuneration policy. It was a failure of company and industry culture where good people forget their core purpose and come to accept bad practice as normal or acceptable.
Are there parallels for us in the UK? At the moment we don't have the same level of front page scrutiny of our practices, but perhaps we have some tell-tale signs that all is not well; the CMA investigation, the rise of pension scams, Amber Rudd's threat of tougher jail terms, suspicions of poor advice around pension transfers, and the fact that there is a sizeable, underfunded group of fellow citizens sleepwalking to a unexpectedly poor retirement. Could all this be the cultural canary in our mine? At AHC we have always campaigned for more clarity in communication and culture in all the markets in which we operate. The lesson from the much-admired Australian Superannuation industry is that we need to act sooner rather than later to call out behaviours and practices before the regulator, or the Daily Mail, ever feel the need to.

Book Review: Heartthrob
October 26, 2016 by Michelle Leave a Comment
Author: Belinda Williams
Heartthrob is the first in a new series by Sydney author Belinda Williams. The City Love series was a four book series following a group of friends as they found their HEAs, I think Hollywood Hearts will become a series that follows a similar formula and is set in Hollywood.
Ally Valenti is a single Italian woman managing the family restaurant when her high school best friend, a hot property Hollywood star, invites her to stay for six months and have a shot at following her dreams. Ally once dreamed of becoming a fashion designer but just as she was about to head off to study her father became ill and she turned down the scholarship to stay and support her mother. Ally is an only child from a large extended family so, in a way, she has the best of both worlds.
It has been years since Ally designed anything and the whole idea of six months in Hollywood to design Awards ceremony outfits is surreal. If her friend hadn't just separated from her husband Ally would have chickened out, she knows that this is Lena's way of asking for help and asking Ally to be with her.
Ally and Lena have been friends for many years, a lot of them long distance. Ally has learned that not everything you read in the gossip mags is true and Hollywood stars are real people away from the screen. She tries to stay out of the celebrity loop and it's worked for her, so far. Arriving in Hollywood to stay with Lena is a lot to take in, understanding that the stars are regular people away from the camera is easy to do in theory from half a country away but in the flesh and up close and personal it can be a little overwhelming.
There is nothing ground-breakingly original here but that doesn't mean it's not a fun and engaging read. I ended up knocking this one off on a Lazy Sunday afternoon, when I should have been catching up on my washing. It was fun, it was entertaining and there was quite an element of suspense.
Ally feels quite the frumpy average woman beside Lena, she is curvy, voluptuous and short. She's never really been happy about it but figured it is what it is. She's Italian and she loves to cook, and she loves to eat; she doesn't love to exercise. Her cooking is amazing, and hazardous to the health of the Hollywood stars who have to watch what they eat.
Heartthrob takes us behind the Hollywood scenes, it shows us the real lives of the stars and just how different they can be to the picture that is painted of them. Ally is thrust into the middle of the Hollywood scene by living with Lena and she just isn't sure she's up to the task of making Awards Ceremony gowns, she's a nobody with no experience so how can she be expected to compete with the big name designers on the red carpet.
There are flying sparks as Ally gets to know Lena's co-star, the super-hot Jacob Swan but she forever doubts that it could be her he is interested in, she thinks it must be her cooking because she is far from the hot Hollywood starlet that he should be seen with.
The night Ally's first design debuts on the red carpet there's a break-in at Lena's and Ally's entire workroom of designs is destroyed; and so begins the mystery. Who is the stalker actually after, is it Lena or Ally? And why? We follow that arc with different theories as to who and why but it takes a long time to start making any headway.
The romance element of the story is quite sweet, and at times a little predictable, small town average girl and hot hollywood hunk get involved and the paparazzi get in the way, the lifestyle makes things difficult and then there's a misunderstanding that blows everything out of proportion and ends in disaster.
Williams does a great job of breathing life into her characters, illustrating the massive divide between what's real and what's not in Hollywood and showing that perseverance pays off because it's never to late to follow your dreams.
I giggled, I cried and I was left wondering what we will discover as the series progresses.
Heartthrob is book #55 for the Australian Women Writer's Challenge 2016.

Our motto at DefeatDD is that every child gets diarrhea, but no child should die from it. This aspiration is not a pipe dream. We have prevention and treatment tools and the evidence that proves they can save and improve lives and livelihoods – but only when the most vulnerable children have access to them.
Take oral rehydration solution (ORS) and zinc, the cornerstone treatment for diarrheal disease. The Lancet has called ORS one of the most important medical advances of the twentieth century, and the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF have recommended the use of both ORS and zinc to treat childhood diarrhea since 2004. In a review of 157 studies, ORS reduced deaths from diarrhea by 69%. It has saved millions of lives from life-threatening dehydration caused by diarrhea. Studies also show that zinc supplementation in cases of childhood diarrhea decreases mortality and the duration of diarrhea, and can even prevent future episodes. Combine these tools and we have a powerful weapon indeed. When diarrhea strikes in children, it can kill within hours. When children have access to the tools they need, they can recover just as quickly – though too often, this is not the case.
A scant 7% of children with diarrhea receive both ORS and zinc as recommended. The two products are treated differently by countries' ministries of health, which creates policy, training, and procurement challenges. The result is that these two essential products are often procured, supplied, and dispensed separately, and while one is in stock, the other may not be available.
Over the next few months, we're raising awareness about a practical policy pathway to improve access to ORS and zinc. PATH and other Diarrhea Innovations Group partners have launched a petition to WHO requesting the inclusion of co-packaged ORS and zinc on its essential medicines list for children (EMLc). Policy documents like the EMLc set global norms, which help encourage countries to prioritize the ORS + zinc co-pack in their national health programs and budgets, procurement and supply procedures, diarrhea treatment guidelines, and training of healthcare providers.
A single listing for co-packaged ORS and zinc on the WHO EMLc could create an enabling environment for countries to adopt the co-pack as an essential part of their diarrhea management system. As a result, countries can expect higher uptake and greater access to the globally recommended treatment, which means better survival rates for children. If that weren't enough, they can also expect to save money. The ORS + zinc co-pack has been shown more affordable than the average price of separate purchases. This is in addition to reduced hospitalizations and use of expensive IV fluids.
Help us ensure that children who battle with dangerous diarrhea have access to the tools they need to recover from it. We invite you to add your voice.

What is NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) and Why Does it Matter?
Tag Archive: What is NPSH
Posted on March 13, 2017 by R Andrew Springer
The Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) margin is a crucial factor that is commonly overlooked while selecting a pump. It is the difference between the NPSH available (NPSHa) at the pump's inlet and the NPSH required (NPSHr) by the pump to operate without cavitation. Cavitation is the formation of bubbles at the pump inlet, followed by their sudden collapse, which can cause permanent damage. The NPSH margin value must be positive to avoid cavitation.
Pump designers use NPSH to ensure that pumps will operate without internal damage caused by cavitation under all specified operating conditions.
NPSH can be defined in two parts:
NPSH Available (NPSHA): The absolute pressure at the suction port of the pump.
NPSH Required (NPSHR): The minimum pressure required at the suction port of the pump to keep the pump from cavitating.
NPSH or Net Positive Suction Head is a very important part of a pumping system. The systems NPSHA must be higher than the pump's NPSHR in order for proper pump performance and to eliminate the risk of cavitation, which can damage a pump in short order and shut down operations that depend on that pump.
How does NPSH relate to Pump Operation?
Pumps work by creating a pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet—the high pressure at the inlet causes fluid to flow towards the low pressure at the outlet. As the fluid flows through the pump, it experiences steadily decreasing pressure along the flow path. If the pressure at the inlet falls below the vapor pressure of the fluid, bubbles will form at the inlet.
These bubbles collapse rapidly inside the pump as they move towards the outlet. This cavitation causes the pump to operate noisily, making it sound like something like gravel in a concrete mixer. The bubbles in the fluid also reduce the capacity of the pump. Most importantly, cavitation removes small spots of material from the inside walls of the pump, pitting the walls and causing permanent damage to the pump.
How to Use Net Positive Suction Head to Select a Pump
NPHSr, the NPSH required for the proper operation of the pump, depends on the pump design, the rotational speed of its impellers, and its age. Pitting also depends on the hardness of the material that the pump is made from, which makes that a factor as well.
NPHSa—the NPSH available at the inlet—depends entirely on the operating environment, including the temperature of the fluid being pumped. As explained above, it is crucial to maintain a positive margin between NPHSa and NPHSr.
As a general rule, make sure that NPHSr is less than NPHSa by the larger of 5 feet or 10% of NPHSa. For example, if NPHSr is 10 feet, NPHSa must be at least 15 feet.
NPHSa calculations should consider the temperature of the fluid and the distance between the pump and the suction source. Cavitation occurs more readily at higher temperatures since vapor pressure increases with temperature. If the suction source is below the pump, the vertical distance between the two reduces the NPHSa at the pump's inlet.
It is necessary to measure pressure accurately with pressure gauges to ensure selection of the right pump for the job.
Gauge Pressure Equation
Pressure gauges measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. The readout of a pressure gauge is called gauge pressure. Atmospheric pressure, nominally 14.7 psi at sea level, is added to gauge pressure to get absolute pressure. Therefore:
Absolute Pressure = Gauge Pressure + Atmospheric Pressure
Vapor pressure of a fluid is expressed as absolute pressure. So absolute pressure is used for calculating NPSHa using the formula:
NPSHa = Ha – Hvp.
Ha = absolute pressure of the fluid at the inlet of the pump
Hvp = absolute vapor pressure of the fluid at the operating temperature
Using this formula ensures selection of a pump whose NPSHr is less than the greater of 10% of NPHSa and 5 feet.

How to remove Cleanserp "virus"
In this article we'll tell you everything about an adware that is called Cleanserp. If you have some experience with browser hijacker or adware - you might just go to the removal instructions and get rid of this suspicious program. If you haven't faced with suchlike software earlier - trust us, this tool really isn't the one to keep in your system. This undesired program has no helpful functions, as far as it was developed only to bring benefit to its developers, and to irritate its victims. Have you mentioned the increased amount of advertising in browser, or the shifted start page? How do you think, is it normal that the pre-set search engine is switched to the unknown website, and it appears each time when you launch the browser? These are the red flags of adware's work in the system and if you noticed some of them – your system is in jeopardy.
All tools have their tasks, and Cleanserp isn't an exception. Unfortunately, the real aim of this program differs from those stated. Commonly, the depiction of adware promises that it will be very helpful. 90% of advertising tools state to support in the search for goods or information in the Internet. Search for discounts, deals and sales online, assistance in the finding of latest games, movies or music and observing the activity of friends in Facebook - these are the functions that 99% of adware promise to accomplish. The primary thing you need to do if you're going to install any program - to think, is it really helpful? In fact, the aim of hackers is to declare that their program performs something that can't be checked. The "better", "safer" or "faster" search on the Internet is a brilliant sample of suchlike feature, since these parameters are really indistinct and they're very to supervise. Does this mean that advertising programs do not do anything, and just take up space on your hard drive? No, they have one important feature and it is to cheat the users and to receive thousands of dollars from online advertising.
There is a belief in the Web that the majority of hazardous programs have no particular aim. Malicious programs slow down the PC, prevent the functions of good tools, and Internet-scammers like it so much that they want to spend many hours, developing useless adware. In fact, all viruses have some function, and it is often applies to profit. For instance, the indiscriminate display of dozens of ads on each website isn't accidental. All these ads are generated to obtain money from clicks. Some people heard that advertising in Internet is paid on the special system, called pay per click. It means that the advertiser pays for every transition from the ad to the web-page. So, the more links advertising program shows you, the higher is the possibility that you will be interested and click on the link. Yet if user is not interested in any of the proposals - the click may still be performed, to close an undesirable irritating ad. The system doesn't care in which way the clicks were made, and hackers will receive their reward both for the decent click and for the random one. However this price isn't big, do not neglect the amount of clicks! Confiding operator can think that suchlike ads are trustworthy, and try to find something entertaining among adware propositions, doing dozens of clicks daily. Well-known AV-software developers and malware-fighting forums get thousands of complaints on Cleanserp, so swindlers make really nice profit on it.
And finally, Cleanserp has another function that in the long term may bring significant damage to your system. This function is Cleanserp's power to shift browser controls in order to distribute ads more effective which makes it very assailable against all viruses. Cleanserp switches the default search engine and the URL of the starting page, and also disables features which are reliable for blocking of advertisements and for prevention of dangerous downloads. Thus, if Cleanserp is in the computer, the browser is highly defenseless, and many undesired programs can use it to enter the system, which exactly happens if man begins to randomly click on hazardous links provided by Cleanserp. The adware will clog your PC, because each click on the link, shown by Cleanserp invites one more virus on the PC. You have only one technique to hide advertisement and save your PC from viral hazard - to uninstall Cleanserp.
Hackers use two main methods of adware distribution: the deployment on the malicious web-sites and bundled installation with good programs. The "website" way may be simply neutralized: you must only visit web-pages that are fully dependable, and appear on the first positions in the search results. Except that, pay attention to the notifications of your antivirus software and browser. To shield yourself from the infection through the second method, you must closely observe the installation of all programs. Bundled installation method is so efficient because of user's trustfulness and the harmful habit to click OK without reading. You install some program and the pop-up window during the process emerges an offer to get some extra programs. All fields are pre-checked, and by clicking "OK" he installs at 3-4 tools instead of one. Naturally, all programs except the wanted one will be trashy or even hazardous. So, when you see the option between "safe installation" and "install for expert users" – choose the second option. Keep this in mind every time you install something - and your system will be noticeably cleaner.
The uninstall of Cleanserp in manual manner takes approximately five-ten minutes, and may be performed even by not experienced user. Both manual and automatic ways have their own advantages and weaknesses. When you eliminate the hazardous program by-hand, you cannot intervene it (or any other virus) from infecting the computer again. If you use an AV-tool - it will provide you the security for a long time. We suggest you to use the software named Spyhunter which not only eliminates all adware from your system but also protects it from all other malicious programs until Spyhunter will remain on your PC.
Choose Cleanserp and press button "Remove from Opera"
