Why is Rishabh Pant getting a chance even after repeatedly proving to be a flop? Questions started arising after the defeat
Team India is currently on New Zealand tour. In New Zealand, the Indian team has played a series of three T20 matches. Now the ODI series is being played. Team India has faced defeat in the first ODI. Many questions are also arising after this defeat. Questions are being raised about the bowlers. Along with this, the big question is that why is Rishabh Pant being given a place in the team after repeated flops? In fact, Rishabh Pant did not get a chance to play even in the opening matches of the recently concluded T20 World Cup. But later he was included in the team. During that time also he proved to be a flop. Rishabh Pant was opened in T20 series against New Zealand, where he could not do anything special.

At the same time, Rishabh Pant was definitely sent to bat at number four in the first ODI. But got out after scoring just 15 runs in 23 balls. This is the reason why questions are now being raised about Rishabh Pant. His form in ODI cricket is continuously going bad. Rishabh Pant is seen struggling on the middle ground. If you look at the last 8 innings, Rishabh Pant has scored only 86 runs and his average is less than 11. These 8 innings also include two unofficial T20 matches in Australia. Rishabh Pant scored 15 runs in the first ODI against New Zealand. At the same time, he scored 11 runs in the third T20 match and 6 runs in the second. He also scored 3 runs against England in the semi-finals. In the same match against Zimbabwe, Rishabh Pant scored only 3 runs.

Rishabh Pant's bat did not work in the two unofficial matches played against Western Australia before the T20 World Cup and he scored only 9-9 runs in both the matches. In the last match of the series against South Africa, his bat yielded 27 runs. Overall, Rishabh Pant is not appearing in good form in recent times. Whether it is T20 form or ODI form, Rishabh Pant's bat has remained very silent everywhere. In such a situation, questions have started to arise that if Rishabh Pant continues to be in bad form like this, then how long will he be given a chance? Because of Rishabh Pant, wicketkeeper batsmen like Sanju Samson and Ishaan Kishan have to sit out of Team India.

Home Expert Reviews BrahMos-II Missile: How India's Hypersonic Missile Program Will Get A 'Big Boost'...
BrahMos-II Missile: How India's Hypersonic Missile Program Will Get A 'Big Boost' From Russian Technology?
Prakash Nanda
Russia's successful test launch of a new Zircon hypersonic cruise missile on July 19 has many strategic implications. One of these could be termed as good news for India as it will hasten the development of the delayed BrahMos-II hypersonic cruise missile, a joint India-Russia project.
India Could Deploy Hypersonic Missiles Earliest By 2025; Likely To Be Modelled On Russian Zircon – US Report
The BrahMos-II is very similar to the Zircon. As a winged, anti-ship hypersonic cruise missile, Zircon is a tactical weapon, designed to be carried by frigates of the Russian Navy as well as submarines.
The missile reportedly has a maximum range of 1,000 kilometers, with a flight speed of nearly Mach 7 (and as has been tested, it can go up to Mach 8). It is also spelled as Tsirkon and known as 3M22 in Russia and as the SS-N-33 by the NATO countries.
Zircon hypersonic cruise missile being fired from the Admiral Gorshkov.
If the information that in one of the trials it gathered the speed of Mach 8 is correct, the Zircon missile is the fastest in the world, making it nearly impossible to defend against due to its speed alone.
Another valuable aspect of the missile is its plasma cloud. During its flight, the missile is completely covered by a plasma cloud that absorbs any rays of radio frequencies and makes the missile invisible to radars. This allows the missile to remain undetected on its way to the target.
Prelude To BrahMos-II
Although India test-fired its first indigenous Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV), developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), in August last year, knowledgeable sources say that this is related to the making of the BrahMos-II, which is supposed to succeed the Indian Navy's BrahMos anti-ship missile.
BrahMos is also supersonic, flying at 3 times the speed of sound, known as Mach 3. But BrahMos II, like Zircon, will be about twice as fast, flying at speeds in excess of Mach 6. Though expected to have a range of 600 km, BrahMos II can develop the range to 1,000 km and the speed of Mach 8, it is said. However, its scheduled testing was to be held in 2020. Things have been delayed.
A model of BrahMos-II hypersonic missile.
The BrahMos series is being developed by the BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited, the joint collaboration of India's DRDO and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM). The Zircon has been designed by none other than the NPOM.
What is noteworthy is that though it is supposed to carry conventional warheads, Zircon can be fitted with nuclear warheads if the need arises. Whether BrahMos II will be allowed to carry nuclear warheads remains unclear.
Russia Bets Big On S-500; But How Is S-500 Missile Defense System Better Than S-400s?
Hypersonic Weapons
It is said that if hypersonic weapons are to be conventionally armed, they need to require greater accuracy for having the greatest impact on the enemy and will be thus more technically challenging to develop than a nuclear-armed system. A nuclear-armed glider is believed to be effective if it were 10 or even 100 times less accurate [than a conventionally-armed glider] due to nuclear blast effects.
The importance of the likes of Zircon lies in the fact that they could enable "responsive, long-range, strike options against distant, defended, and/or time-critical threats [such as road-mobile missiles] when other forces are unavailable, denied access, or not preferred."
Secondly, they could challenge detection and defense due to their speed, maneuverability, and low-altitude of flight. And by the time they are detected, they would have already covered such a big distance because of their speed, the interceptor missiles will not be able to fly fast enough to catch up.
The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense or THAAD.
Thirdly, analysts point out that developing defense systems against hypersonic missiles will prove to be very costly.
As physicist and nuclear expert James Acton explains, "Point-defense systems, and particularly [Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)], could very plausibly be adapted to deal with hypersonic missiles. The disadvantage of those systems is that they can only defend small areas. To defend the whole of the continental United States, you would need an unaffordable number of THAAD batteries."
Can China's 'Very Own' F-22 Raptor & F-35 Stealth Fighter Jet Present Any Challenge To The Original US Warplanes?
However, all told, the analysts also caution that hypersonic cruise missiles may not be used against countries possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in their heartlands. For instance, if Russia manages to use a missile such as Zircon against the United States, the latter can retaliate massively with ICBMs.
This, perhaps, explains, why the US has not developed, as of now, a known hypersonic system, though its three services and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the Department of Defense are working on their respective hypersonic programs.
Threat To American Carriers?
The US Navy is requesting $1.4 billion in FY2022. The US Army wants $301 million for the program in FY2022. The US Air Force has requested similarly $691 million for the various segments of the program. DARPA's demand for similar purposes $411 million.
All these organizations are being funded by the Department of Defense for a number of hypersonic weapons programs, the US has not established any program of record, leading experts to suggest that the US may not have approved requirements for hypersonic weapons or long-term funding plans.
There is a school of thought which argues that Russia has developed Zircon as a means of contending with American superiority in size, technology, and the sheer number of aircraft carriers. At the moment, the US Navy has 12 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, whereas Russia has only one.
Therefore, it is said that "while at sea, any of Russia's 15 Buyan–class corvettes will be able to carry up to 25 Zircon hypersonic missiles. It would take fewer than a half-dozen of those missiles to sink even the most advanced American aircraft carrier, such as the USS Gerald R. Ford".
USS Nimitz aircraft carrier.
In fact, aircraft carriers are believed to be the principal targets of hypersonic missiles like Zircon. It is argued that these missiles may not be actually applied against carriers, but their possession creates such apprehensions about their vulnerability in the minds of nations with carriers that they do not use these huge platforms assertively and effectively.
F-22 Raptors – World's Most Powerful Fighter Jets Deployed To Asia In 'Big Numbers' To Counter Chinese 'Muscle Flexing'
The huge value or costs of the carriers may become their greatest weakness against these much cheaper missiles. No nation will like the loss of the carriers (many cannot afford to lose them), so they are forced to remain effectively on the sidelines "in case of high-intensity, peer-competitor conflict."
This is not to suggest that aircraft carriers will become obsolete in the face of hypersonic missiles but to underline the dangers they face from advanced military technology. And this brings to one's attention how important the BrahMos II could be for India in meeting the challenge of the rising naval capabilities of China in the Indo-Pacific, particularly the Indian Ocean region.
China is about to have at least three aircraft carriers and a host of large destroyers, frigates, and submarines. India's hypersonic anti-ship missiles will be effective counters in that regard.

Renewables plan for former oil fabrication yard
DEVELOPERS are seeking the go ahead to turn the former McDermotts Fabrication Yard in the Highlands into a manufacturing 'super-hub' for renewables – delivering a second jobs boom for the site.
By ALISTAIR MUNRO

The former McDermotts Fabrication Yard. Picture: Savills
The Port of Ardersier has just submitted plans to Highland Council, Marine Scotland and Transport Scotland for the consents needed to transform the massive site 15 miles east of Inverness into a major European manufacturing port for the offshore wind industry.
The location was once the scene of massive engineering activity as the McDermotts Fabrication Yard, where thousands of workers were involved in constructing oil rigs and platforms in the 1970s and 80s.
The developers are now planning to give the site – closed in 2002 – a second lease of life.
With 138 hectares (340 acres) of vacant land and a deep water quay, the purpose-built yard – located on the Moray Firth – is ideally placed to take a slice of the estimated £70-80 billion UK offshore wind construction market.
There are very few deep water ports around the North Sea with this quantity of vacant manufacturing space – more than three times the size of London's Olympic stadium site.
Once approved, the harbour revision order, onshore planning and marine consents would permit major dredging later this year, which could enable the port to be open for business in early 2014.
It is estimated the £4.5 billion Moray offshore wind farm, currently being developed jointly by EDP Renewables and Repsol Nuevas Energias UK, could alone bring up to 3000 jobs to the region.
Port of Ardersier chief executive officer Captain Stephen Gobbi said: "There are few other locations in the UK, or indeed Europe, which can offer this quality and quantity of vacant land, a 1000 metre deep water quay and proximity to the major offshore wind development zones in the North Sea.
"Ardersier complements other sites in Scotland and offers offshore wind developers and manufacturers the opportunity to site their operations close to the first-generation deep water sites in the firths of Moray, Tay and Forth.
"We hope our application will be viewed positively."
He added: We believe a thriving port would bring investment and skilled employment to the Highlands and to Scotland, and we are grateful for the on-going support from Highlands and Islands Enterprise in achieving that goal.
"We will be holding a public information event on the site in the coming weeks and we hope as many local people with an interest in the site are able to come along and find out about our exciting plans."
Earlier this year Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond announced a memorandum of understanding between Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Port of Ardersier which recognises the port's capacity to become one of the key manufacturing, construction and installation hubs for projects such as Moray.
Scotland's Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth John Swinney has also recently visited the site to find out more about its potential.
The former McDermott Fabrication Yard was built on land reclaimed from the foreshore in the 1970s for the fabrication and construction of North Sea oil and gas platforms.
At its height, the yard employed 4500 people, and the developers claim renewable energy could deliver a second jobs boom for the site.
It closed in 2002 and the 270-acre site was bought for development as a resort of 3000 houses with a marina.
Its massive deck assembly shed that covered eight acres and stood 100ft tall was pulled down and the 10,000 tons of metal recovered were shipped out to be used to build new factories in the China.
However, three years ago Ardersier was included in Scotland's National Renewables Infrastructure Plan as one of 11 possible manufacturing sites for the offshore green energy industry.
The plan's goal is to enable Scotland to accelerate the development of offshore wind and capture a major slice of the supply chain and jobs potential.
Speaking recently, Scottish Energy, Enterprise and Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing MSP said: "Offshore renewables represent a huge opportunity for Scotland; an opportunity to build up new industries and to deliver on our ambitious renewable energy and carbon reduction targets.
"The Scottish Government is committed to the successful and sustainable development of an offshore wind sector, which could lead to a potential generation of over £7 billion to Scotland's economy and support up to 28,000 direct jobs and a further 20,000 indirect jobs by 2020."


The Texas Interstate Fire Mutual Aid System is one of the teams that has been working in the area as wildfires popped up and spread several times recently. What makes TIFMAS unique is the teams don't only respond to fire calls, they are capable of responding to other emergency calls too.
(TNS) — When dry conditions blanket the South Plains, the need for fire response teams becomes greater.
"We make the request for this particular resource through the Texas Department of Emergency Management," says Mary Leathers, resource specialist for Texas A&M Forest Service. "From there, they form these strike teams and send them when we have heightened conditions or need the help."
The teams that are sent out have to meet very specific qualifications, according to Andrea Ferrell, one of the engine bosses from College Station. Ferrell was on one of the teams sent to help crews in the Houston-area when Hurricane Harvey struck last August.
"Hurricane Harvey was all hazards," Ferrell said. "We would get in their fire station and respond to anything, medical calls, alarms, anything that they need. Whether it was helping with water rescues, we could be doing anything."
A requirement for the crew members to handle structural fires is each must be medically trained with jump kits and other basic needs. Their gear is also different than what people may expect. Instead of putting on heavy gear that firefighters would usually wear, the TIFMAS crews wear green Nomex pants and a yellow shirt, which Ferrell says is all they need.
"With structure fires, you would need that thermal protection," says Ferrell. "But with wild land fires, if you need more than what this flame-resistance is, it's not going to protect you because you don't need to be that close. We're fighting from a distance -- we take more of an offensive attack."
Keith Lammons, the task force coordinator for Texas A&M Forest Service, makes assignments for the TIFMAS crews and pulls them together as well. For Lammons, who has been in the fire service for more than 40 years, his biggest priority is making sure his crews are safe. Sometimes that includes having TIFMAS crews be a necessary relief for the people who have been working dangerously long hours.
"It's another tool in our toolbox that we can call at any time," says Lammons. "It gives us some relief, because we're in a bad fire season but we've had worse. But people wear out, I can only work my crew for so many days, so that gives us a back-up."
Richard Gray, the assistant chief regional fire coordinator, says that when there is elevated fire danger, the focus is always on communication.
"Our main priority with our responders and our public is information sharing," says Gray. "With our public, it's a strong prevention message so we don't have unwanted starts. With our firefighters here, it's keeping them briefed on our operations and aware of changing conditions."
To help keeps crews prepared, a predictive services department looks at the weather and conditions and monitors them.
"When we start seeing alignment that can lead to increased fire activity, we communicate that to our operations," says Luke Kanclerz, a fire analyst for the predictive services. "We tell them what we know, what we think could potentially happen, then the rest of the decisions are made from there."
According to Kanclerz, they specifically look for dry to critically dry conditions, storms, and strong winds, what they call high impact weather days. Technology plays a key role in this area because of how much it's improved over time.
"The information, the data, the technology has improved dramatically to help us make better decisions," says Kanclerz. "But even with it, it's a constant moving target. We're always trying to keep up with the day and see what the high risk is."


Works of art often speak of other works of art or they comment on their meaning, bringing forward their new narrative - a story which has been started somewhere else, in another creative mind. Works of art are based on other people's stories or emerge from them. We create our stories, keep on walking, braving our way through life and changing the places we have visited, adding new meaning.
This exhibition is a mixed media show, where different stories and experiences will be located in the different areas/chambers and corridors of The Keep. It is a dialogue between two artists who respond differently to the environment of the Keep and the idea of stories within stories.

THE PHOTO ON THE BOOK'S COVER DEPICTS DR. MORLEY COHEN PERFORMING MANITOBA'S FIRST OPEN-HEART SURGERY AT ST. BONIFACE HOSPITAL IN 1959.
New book celebrates Manitoba's Jewish doctors
The stories of generations of Jewish physicians who have influenced the course of health care, medical research and medical education in Manitoba are chronicled in a new book.
Healing Lives: A Century of Manitoba Jewish Physicians has a free, public launch on Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. at the Berney Theatre on the Asper Jewish Community Campus. It also has a launch on Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. at McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Park.
Published by the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada, the book is the product of several years of information-gathering and fundraising by a committee from the Jewish community. It includes a foreword by distinguished Jewish Canadian historian Irving Abella.
"In the first half of the 20th century, and even later, Jewish physicians had to overcome prejudice," says Dr. Jo Swartz, an anesthetist and U of M faculty member who was active on the committee and whose father, Dr. Mel Swartz, was a well-known urologist.
"They were so dedicated," Swartz says. "They persisted and they excelled. They treated their patients with compassion. And many of them explored the edges of science and medicine."
With the goal of documenting the more than 400 Jewish physicians who have practised in Manitoba since 1881, the book committee received research assistance from the Jewish Heritage Centre, and from University of Manitoba medical archivist Jordan Bass.
A U of M website was established so that anyone with information or archival material could submit it. Eva Wiseman, an accomplished Winnipeg author, was hired to conduct further research and write the history.
Dr. Arnold Naimark, who was named the first Jewish dean of medicine at the U of M in 1971 and went on to become university president, also served on the book committee. It was important, Naimark says, that the publication be more than a who's who.
"It's not only about who these physicians were, but what they contributed, and how that played out in a social, political and economic context," Naimark says.
The book recounts how, from the 1880s through at least the first half of the 20th century, Manitoba Jews faced overt discrimination. They were excluded from many careers, but medicine was open to them. Although many encountered obstacles in obtaining internships and hospital appointments, practising medicine fit with the Jewish concept of tikkun olam, or "repairing the world."
By the 1920s, Jews were well represented as students at the U of M medical college. Then, in the early 1930s under a bigoted dean of medicine, the college introduced a covert quota system to exclude many Jewish and other minority students.
In 1943-44, a U of M mathematics lecturer named Shlomo Mitchell led a small group of Jewish students in gathering evidence of the quota system. Mitchell's whistle-blowing cost him his job. But he and his group succeeded in ending the quota by exposing it to the Manitoba government. As Abella writes, "It was the opening skirmish in the fight against anti-Semitism in Canada in the 1940s."
Today, as Wiseman notes, the once-discriminatory college is named the Max Rady College of Medicine in honour of a Jewish physician. Rady graduated from the U of M in 1921 and was known – like many Jewish doctors of the pre-medicare era – for treating patients regardless of their ability to pay.
The social conscience of the Jewish medical community is a strong theme in Healing Lives, from the founding of the free Mount Carmel Clinic – which some dreamed would become a Jewish hospital – to a groundbreaking health-care scheme introduced in the late 1940s.
Under this plan, Winnipeg garment factory owners paid into a health fund. Garment workers also contributed a small percentage of their wages. The Mall Medical Clinic, which had been founded in a socialist spirit by predominantly Jewish doctors, was then paid by the fund to provide health services to the workers and their families.
It was, Wiseman writes, "the first union-industry prepaid medical plan in Canada, and perhaps in all of North America."
Healing Lives profiles trailblazers such as Dr. Jack Hildes, the hero of Winnipeg's 1953 polio epidemic and founder of the U of M's Northern Medical Unit; Dr. Lyonel Israels, a hematologist who was the patriarch of cancer care in Manitoba; and Dr. Mindel Cherniack Sheps, one of the few Jewish women admitted to the medical school under the quota. Sheps, a public health expert, moved to Saskatchewan to advise the government on introducing medicare.
Other notable figures include, to name only a few, palliative care innovator Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov, renowned geneticist Dr. Cheryl Rockman-Greenberg, inflammatory bowel disease specialist Dr. Charles Bernstein and children's health champion Dr. Dorothy (Osovsky) Hollenberg, a member by marriage of Winnipeg's Hollenberg medical dynasty.
"Jewish physicians have taken their place in every aspect of the medical profession," says Naimark.

Viet Thanh Nguyen: From both sides
Posted on January 17, 2017 Leave a comment →
Viet Thanh Nguyen talks about his books and his writing process in this interview for The Writer.
In fiction and nonfiction alike, this Pulitzer Prize winner aims to shed fresh light on war, race, culture, and, ultimately, our humanity.
Viet Thanh Nguyen recently won the Pulitzer Prize for his debut novel, The Sympathizer. Fiction writer, nonfiction author, scholar, and professor at the University of Southern California, Nguyen was only 4 years old when the Vietnam War ended, and yet he has given voice to a generation of Vietnamese people caught up in the war. His body of work constitutes an alternate version to the American story of the war "over there," however critical the various books and movies on that conflict have been. Nguyen's story is not only that of the 3 million Vietnamese lives lost in that war and the hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese boat people who were lost at sea, but also the lives of surviving refugees in their American diaspora.
The Sympathizer is told from the point of view of a young Vietnamese
captain who is ostensibly on the side of the South but is actually a communist sympathizer – a "man of two minds," as the Pulitzer Prize committee put it. When Saigon falls, he and other refugees find a safe haven in America. Dense with prose, the novel is thick with interiority, fleshing out the unnamed narrator's complex stance on the war and his attendant guilt when he's required to kill two suspected communist sympathizers in America. The war, we discover, is not over for him or his fellow refugees. The Vietnamese General, whom the narrator served under in South Vietnam, remains his superior in the United States and hopes still to continue the war back home by gathering a voluntary army. Meanwhile, we watch the anti-communist political turmoil that remains a constant among Americans who are unhappy with the way the war turned out, most notably Nguyen's unforgettable blustering American Congressman.
In his nonfiction book Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War, Nguyen spares no punches in letting readers know that the Vietnam War, like other wars the United States has fought, is part of a history of U.S. imperialism. The Vietnam War didn't go well. The American soldiers buried in Arlington National Cemetery and honored on the Memorial Wall constitute an attempt to give meaning to the deaths of American soldiers. Yet memory is a politicized construct, Nguyen says. In America, there is no wall to remember the Vietnamese. If one were built, it would be nine miles long. In Vietnam, those who opposed the winning side are left to decay unmemorialized and forgotten.
Hollywood especially receives Nguyen's penetrating criticism. As he states in "Our Vietnam War Never Ended," which serves as an afterward to his novel, Hollywood war films seemed to be all one-sided, and that side wasn't the Vietnamese: "I watched Apocalypse Now and saw American sailors massacre a sampan full of civilians and Martin Sheen shoot a wounded woman in cold blood. I watched Platoon and heard the audience cheering and clapping when the Americans killed Vietnamese soldiers. These scenes, although fictional, left me shaking with rage. I knew that in the American imagination I was the Other, the Gook, the foreigner, no matter how perfect my English, how American my behavior. In my mostly white high school, the handful of Asian students clustered together in one corner for lunch and even called ourselves the Asian Invasion and the Yellow Peril."
Just like in his nonfiction, Nguyen's fiction is hard-hitting and spares no punches. At times, The Sympathizer is raw with black humor: The narrator's political assassinations are both savage and over-the-top, reminiscent of black comedy in Tim O'Brien's work. Nguyen's novel is also satirical. The blustering Congressman calls to mind Ben Fountain's Texans sold on Iraq in his recent novel Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. But Nguyen's voice is distinctive, and clearly a new American voice. And it must be said that The Sympathizer can't be categorized simply as a war novel. It's much more universal than that. On a larger scale, it's a novel full of humanity, laying bare a dark side easier to ignore than contemplate.
What drew you to write a novel about the Vietnam War and its aftermath?
Although hundreds of novels had been written about the Vietnam War in several languages, none had done what I wanted to do. That was to write a novel that addressed the viewpoints of all sides, and to be critical of all sides. The war was a tragedy and a horror that everybody who fought in it was responsible for, and while some previous books had recognized that, they focused only on the experience of one side. Inevitably this produced some limitations in perspective and in understanding the war, its participants, and its observers. My goal was to encourage a re-examination of all the viewpoints of war through centering an approach from Vietnamese perspectives, which have been overwhelmed by American stories in the postwar period.
You've said elsewhere that you did some research for The Sympathizer. Did you conduct your research before or during the writing of the novel? Which method do you think works best with historical novels (or does that depend)?
Much of the research was already done because I had read books and seen films about the war all my life. I also drew on my life experience growing up in a Vietnamese American community. Even so, I still needed to do additional research for the novel, in particular for the fall of Saigon and the making of Apocalypse Now. Since the fall of Saigon is the opening sequence, I researched that before I began writing, and read every book and some articles that had been written about it. I found many useful anecdotes and vivid details, and I was able to compose a timeline of the fall – or the liberation, depending on one's point of view – down to the minutes of the last days. That timeline was critical for the pacing of the sequence. As for Apocalypse Now, I researched that while I was writing the novel, in anticipation of that sequence, and again read all the books about the movie and Francis Ford Coppola. In addition, I did a considerable amount of online research to fill in many finer details of the novel – street names and maps, logistics of military organizations and bureaucracies, the plot to take back Vietnam, CIA torture techniques, and the like. I think doing enough historical research to stimulate one's writing is necessary, but writers shouldn't wait to write until they think they've researched everything. In that case, you'll never write anything at all. Do enough to start, and save the rest as necessary while you write.
How long did it take you to write this novel, and what was your overall
process?
A little over two years. The context, however, is that I suffered for well over a decade writing a short story collection before the novel. That was a miserable experience, but it apparently taught me a great deal about literary craft. It was like the wax-on, wax-off training sequence in The Karate Kid, which Daniel (Ralph Macchio's character) hated but which paid off in his sudden ability to defend himself. Coming to the novel was like ceasing to do chores and getting to do the fun stuff. I was lucky that I had two years off from teaching due to a fellowship and sabbaticals, and I wrote four hours a day every day of the week, in the mornings and early afternoons. Then I'd go to the gym and run on a treadmill for an hour, which was a very important part of the process. I was inspired by Haruki Murakami, although he runs marathons outdoors. I like air conditioning. After 15 minutes or so, the runner's high would kick in and all kinds of ideas would start emerging in my mind about the next day's writing. That's how I plotted the novel, because I only had a two-page synopsis when I began. I had the broad strokes, but the details came from the running and the momentum of writing. I wrote a chapter a month, which included a first draft and a revision. By the end of the second year, I had a full draft that had already been revised once. I did one more revision in a few months, and that was what was sold. It was 170,000 words. Working with my editor, I cut it down to 145,000 words in a matter of weeks. That involved trimming back language and cutting a few scenes, but keeping the structure intact.
What motivated you to write your nonfiction book Nothing Ever Dies?
I'm a scholar. I had spent a decade researching Nothing Ever Dies while I was also writing short stories. All that research about the Vietnam War – and all the thinking about theories of representation and ethical memory that I processed during that time – fed into the novel. The novel's explicitly political and philosophical, and that came from my academic work. Some readers don't like that, but to me, most contemporary American fiction seems to lack any kind of serious politics or serious ideas. The novel likewise influenced the writing of Nothing Ever Dies, injecting it with fictional strategies of rhythm, emotion, and narrative. Fiction and nonfiction accomplish very different things, but they can overlap. I wanted my fiction to seem nonfictional, and my nonfiction to seem fictional. At the same time, in fiction I could say things I couldn't get away with in nonfiction without footnotes. And in nonfiction, I could make things explicit that I couldn't say in fiction because of the viewpoint of my protagonist.
How do you view The Sympathizer in the tradition of war novels, not only in American literature but other literature as well?
When most people think "war novel," they think of soldiers' stories. The Sympathizer has those. But it also has the stories of civilians. Implicitly, the novel insists that a true war story has to take into account not just combat and soldiers, but civilians, the home front, and the military-industrial complex. For me, war is more than guns and shooting. That's the spectacle that distracts us from how pervasive war is throughout a society and how it makes all of us complicit through things like paying taxes and watching horrifying images on TV without doing anything to stop them from happening. I was inspired by unconventional war novels like [Kurt Vonnegut's] Slaughterhouse Five and [Louis-Ferdinand] Céline's Journey to the End of the Night, which begins in World War I and then goes all over the place. And António Lobo Antunes' The Land at the End of the World, about Portugal's Angolan War and how it never ended for its protagonist. Wars don't end just because politicians say they do – that's another key point of The Sympathizer.
How did you decide on your protagonist and his political leanings?
Making him a spy, and choosing the spy novel as a defining genre for my book, came immediately to me. I wanted to tell a serious story and an entertaining story, and spy novels have a long tradition of being able to do both through authors like Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, and John Le Carré, to name just three. To make my narrator a mixed-race person of French and Vietnamese heritage was also logical, because part of the seriousness of the novel was about the conflict of race, culture, nation, and difference that involved Vietnam, France, the United States, and all of the East versus West stereotyping that has saturated European and American thinking about Asia. So my character as a spy was going to be involved in many major political events, and as a Eurasian was going to be constantly dwelling on his duality, which would stand in for a universal sense of duality. Part of that duality extended to his politics, which were, on the one hand, a commitment to communism, and on the other hand, an infatuation with American culture and capitalism. He would be very capable of criticizing American culture and capitalism, but he would love them, too, and that capacity would influence his views on the failures of communism. I wanted this novel to be very political but not dogmatic, and making my narrator ambivalent in this way helps to prevent that slide into dogmatism.
What are some major literary influences on your fiction? Can you comment on specific evidence of influences, if any?
From American literature: [Herman] Melville and [William] Faulkner's interrogation of flawed American character and ambition, especially around racial sin; Joseph Heller's satire and humor; dashes of [Nathaniel] Hawthorne's allegorical sensibility and [Edgar Allan] Poe's haunting; [Ralph Waldo] Emerson's philosophical gaze on the American self; the whole tradition of African-American literature and its vital sense of anger and sorrow and its deep critique of the American horror, especially as found in Toni Morrison and Ralph Ellison, whose Invisible Man I am deeply engaged with and against in The Sympathizer. From European and Latin American literature: Gabriel García Márquez's use of history and national culture as his palette; [Fyodor] Dostoevsky, who influenced Ellison, and whose focus on insanity, interiority, and interrogation, and on crime and guilt, in books like Notes from the Underground, The Brothers Karamazov, and Crime and Punishment were fundamental to me; [Louis-Ferdinand] Céline and his willingness to reject realism, sending his protagonist from the trenches of World War I to Africa to Detroit and back to France in the span of a hundred pages, which inspired me to think I could cover vast territory as well; Günther Grass's The Tin Drum did similar work for me and made me want to come up with a protagonist who could be at the center of war and history, too; [Charles] Baudelaire's images, which I read to fire up my own imagination as I reworked every single sentence in search of an image; W.G. Sebald, whose melancholic meditations on the inescapable tragedy of the past are very important to me, as is his digressive, sprawling style; and finally [António] Lobo Antunes and his dense, imagistic prose, which served as the catalyst for my own. I read a few pages of his novel every day, and when I started to get hot, I began to write.
Your novel is certainly heavy with prose, and yet quite scenic. Why did you go with a relatively experimental method of no punctuation of dialogue?
I like high modernism and low genre. I'm bored by middlebrow literary realism, which seems to be the dominant mode of contemporary American fiction. I don't care about quotation marks and directing the reader and making things easy for the reader. I don't want my fiction to be an example of the MFA style of "show, don't tell," of giving the reader a window onto reality, of lending a sense of transparency to the prose. Stylistically, I wanted something dense, image-heavy, and digressive, because I like those things. But I think they also serve purposes in relation to my narrator and my subject. He's writing under interrogation, and he's defiant. His interrogator wants straightforward, simple writing, and our spy won't do that. He's trapped in his own head, his own memories, and the style expresses that sense of being trapped, in this case in words and images. At the same time, I also wanted the novel to be constantly moving forward, and that's why I use the generic conventions of [a] spy novel, hardboiled detective story, political thriller, immigrant saga, historical fiction, black comedy. The dense words are moved forward by the plot, or so I hope. The density of the words, meanwhile, serve as a screen over the actions of the plot, a filter that the reader notices and through which he or she must see.
Setting is very important in this novel. Can you tell us how you went about creating setting?
I wanted settings to be clear but not overly described. Not Dickensian. Not concerned with very fine details you might find in realistic fiction, like long descriptions of scenery, or furniture, or food, and so on. I think the description of settings tends to be cinematic, because I use details sparingly, and focus not only on material or geographical things, but also on people and moods. One example is the General's liquor store and the gathering of exiled southern Vietnamese veterans. I spend little amounts of time on the neighborhood; on some of the store's contents; on the clothing and comportment and mindset of the veterans; and then move towards the General and his wife, Madame; and onwards to the reporter interviewing them, Sonny; and then finally to Sonny and our narrator meeting. The camera, in other words, gradually moves in from outside to inside, from wide angle to close up. Each part of this move isn't oversaturated with details, but the accumulation of a few details for each move adds up to describing the entire setting and atmosphere.
What tips do you have for beginning fiction writers?
Plan for the long haul. If you're extremely talented and lucky, you'll be famous in a few years. Most of us, including me, are neither that talented nor lucky. It took me 20 years of writing before I could write The Sympathizer. I got to that point by writing a lot, reading a lot, and enduring a lot. The practice of writing is a kind of self-instruction that no number of writing workshops can teach you. You have to learn how to do it yourself. The writing makes you a writer, it builds your discipline, enhances your talent, and draws forth the reserves of your character. Reading deeply in your preferred genre or style is very important, because there you learn the tradition you want to belong to or go against. Reading deeply in one category also reveals a basic truth – most of any one thing is bad. Knowing what's bad and what's been done before allows you to be good and original. Read widely to learn from people far afield from you, in genre, style, concern, culture, national origin. Become tough through exposure to the opinions of others, through which you will eventually learn your own genuine opinion of your writing. Rejection is hard to deal with, but so is the persistent sense that no one cares about what you're doing. Learning your own opinion of your writing is saying that you have to learn what you want to write and who you are as a writer. In the end, writing because you care about writing, and writing to be true to yourself, are the only things that matter. And that is how you survive the long haul to becoming a writer, not because of the lures of publication, fame, or profit.
Jack Smith is author of numerous articles, reviews, and interviews, three novels, and a book on writing entitled Write and Revise for Publication.

SolarCity and Tesla shine spotlight on solar-battery systems
Laurie Guevara-Stone
Thursday, January 16, 2014 - 12:00am
Solar battery image by lucadp via Shutterstock.
When SolarCity and Tesla announced last month that they are teaming up to offer battery backup for residential solar PV systems, they generated much excitement and a disproportionate amount of press. From Greentech Media to the New York Times, stories abound about how the union of these two companies heralds the next stage in the evolution of distributed energy resources.
Yet solar-plus-storage actually has been around for decades. In fact, it kickstarted the solar industry in the early 1980s. A bunch of marijuana "farmers" in Northern California who weren't connected to the grid needed a way to get electric lights for their grow operations. A young hippie stumbled upon an ARCO solar panel at a consumer electronics show, founded AEE Solar soon after, and started powering off-grid homes with solar panels and car batteries. His customers always paid with cash.
With the 1990s' deregulation and incentives for solar PV, grid-connected systems became popular. The only people still worried about storage were those trying to electrify remote homes in less developed countries. But solar and storage systems became a hot topic once again in 1999, when people worried about Y2K and the potential end of society as we know it. "We were glad when homeowners wanted to learn about grid-tied PV systems with battery storage," Johnny Weiss, founder of Solar Energy International, told RMI. "After Jan. 1, 2000 came and went without disaster, interest in batteries clearly seemed to become less important."
That interest is back. Whether due to disasters such as Superstorm Sandy, when millions of homes lost power, or to the ability of commercial customers to reduce hefty demand charges through peak shaving, the idea of putting solar and batteries together is gaining a lot of renewed attention.
Making storage sexy
The new SolarCity and Tesla partnership uses Tesla's battery technology to offer backup power for SolarCity's residential solar customers. However, the actual product offering is not that new; others have offered similar products for years.
Green Charge Networks' GreenStations and Stem's battery systems, for example, decrease electrical costs for commercial and industrial customers by storing power during non-peak hours for use during peak periods. GreenStations already have been installed in multiple locations throughout New York City. Stem claims utility bills for companies using its storage system will be cut by 10 to 40 percent. Then there's Solar Grid Storage. Maryland's first microgrid, installed in October at Konterra headquarters, uses a 402 kW array with a Solar Grid Storage system that will keep 50 kW online for more than four hours if the grid goes down. On the residential side, NRG offers solar canopies — shade structures constructed of photovoltaic panels with a battery to store the electricity for use at night or during a blackout. Utility companies are also getting into the game, with San Diego Borrego Springs and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District both currently testing storage for homes.
What is exciting is all the attention that storage is now attracting, thanks to the big names of Tesla and Solar City and the man who links them: Elon Musk. Musk seems to bring high visibility to anything he does, and the solar-plus-battery offering is no exception.
"Both Solar City and Tesla are known to be insurgents and disruptors, and that's why there's so much attention on this particular offering," says RMI senior associate Leia Guccione. While before not many people paid attention to solar-plus-battery systems, "Tesla adds that sexy element, where people are definitely paying attention now."
Yet the significance is not that Tesla and Solar City are bringing us into a new paradigm, but that the solar-plus-storage idea is gaining a whole lot of traction.
"For a long time, battery energy storage was referred to as the holy grail of energy; people said it will become viable when we figure out cold fusion," according to Guccione. "Now people know this is a technology that's coming out of infancy, and more companies are coming out with commercial offerings. This is further evidence that battery energy storage is here and is here to stay."
RMI associate Bodhi Rader adds: "More people are entering the space. We could call this a game-changing moment."
Beyond backup
What's really exciting in the solar-plus-battery arena is what batteries offer beyond backup — to both solar PV and the grid and utilities. Voltage and frequency regulation. Black-start capability after macro- or microgrid outages. Using batteries as a less expensive alternative to peaking plants during high demand periods. Demand charge reductions via peak shaving. Shifting load profiles with batteries to take better advantage of time-of-use electricity pricing. The list goes on.
If current trends are any indication, soon batteries may become a common part of solar PV systems, including residential. "This will be a whole-home energy solution," according to Guccione. "That's where the next frontier is, and we hope to see SolarCity and Tesla go there."
And pretty soon it won't just be for those in the higher-income bracket. Bloomberg New Energy Finance predicts [PDF] that battery storage costs will fall 57 percent by 2020. Lux Research sees the global market for PV systems combined with battery storage growing from the current $200 million a year to $2.8 billion in 2018.
"We look at economics as the thing that will bring the critical mass to the tipping point," says Guccione. "There has to be a whole wave of first movers, but the increasingly favorable economics will evolve solar-plus-battery systems from early adopters to a mainstream solution."
That's why it is so exciting that more companies are beginning to offer battery storage. Solar installers will be asked if they offer battery storage options more often, and with more demand and players entering the field, the price will go down, utility companies will come up with innovative business models and a solar system without battery storage will seem so last-decade.
New business models will make it easy for customers to add storage to existing systems or build storage into new systems, through leasing and third-party financing models similar to what has made rooftop PV so accessible. And solar-plus-battery systems will be available to the masses, not just to off-grid pot farmers who can pay in cash. This is all good news for people wanting clean, reliable electricity.

Based on feedback from an interest survey a few weeks ago, MHEA is proud to announce the formation of a recreational gymnastics program tailored directly for homeschooled boys and girls from ages 4-18.
Although details are still being finalized, the conceptual program will provide availability for four one-hour classes. Classes will be offered three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. Ages and skill levels for each class will be determined after the meet and greet. The survey showed that most interested homeschool families want to be able to participate up to two times per week for one hour each. Additionally, the majority of families are most comfortable paying for nine-week sessions. Pricing for a nine-week session will be dependent upon the final number of interested children on October 18; pricing will be provided via email one week after the orientation session, along with registration information. We are happy to announce that anticipated cost should be one-fourth of the market rate or lower for competitive gymnastics in Memphis!
We look forward to seeing you at the meet and greet. Please have your children wear their workout clothes so they can experience the equipment and facilities. If you can't make it no worries. Please drop us an email and will we add your name to the interested parities list when the final details are sent out.


the worldwide economy turns out stuck in a cycle of increase and bust, instability and scandal. development at the vintage works of E F Schumacher and different kindred spirits, Magnuson presents a Buddhist economics standpoint in this routine trend and provides new percentages for change.
Within the early eighteenth century, the expanding dependence of society on monetary credits provoked common nervousness. The texts of credits - inventory certificate, IOUs, money owed of trade - have been denominated as strength 'fictions', whereas the aptitude fictionality of alternative texts was once measured when it comes to the 'credit' they deserved.
First released in 1914 and reissued with a brand new advent in 1992, paintings and Wealth is a seminal imaginative and prescient of Hobson's liberal utopian beliefs, which wanted to reveal how financial and social reform may remodel current society into one during which nearly all of the inhabitants, in place of a small elite, may possibly locate success.
The economics career has much to reply to for. After the past due Nineteen Seventies, the guidelines of influential economists have justified guidelines that experience made the area extra vulnerable to fiscal hindrance, remarkably much less equivalent, extra polluted and not more safe than it'd be. How may well principles and rules that proved to be such an abject failure come to dominate the commercial panorama?


This calculator matches lines in text using regular expression. It outputs line numbers and lines, which were matched and which were not matched, separating them.
The idea is simple: enter lines of text and regular expression to check. This calculator checks each lilne against regular expression. If it is matched, line with its line number goes to "Matches" table and counter of matched lines is incremented. If it is not matched, line with its line number goes to "Mismatches" table and counter of mismatched lines is incremented.
Thus you can filter big chucks of text, like log files, with regular expression. Inspired by work, I hope it could be useful for somebody else as well.

Coronavirus: 511 new COVID-19 cases, 58 additional deaths in Central Jersey
Susan Loyer
Bridgewater Courier News
Gov. Phil Murphy reported 2,651 new positive cases of the coronavirus in New Jersey on Friday, bringing the statewide total to 121,190.
These numbers keep moving in the right direction, Murphy said.
"As we reopen our parks and as some of you head back to the golf course, social distancing is going to be the watch word," the governor said. "We will be closely monitoring actions across the entire weekend."
If people fail to practice social distancing, Murphy said he won't hesitate to close the parks again.
"I sincerely do not want to do that," Murphy said. "We are not out of the woods yet. We still have to use common sense."
Murphy also reported 311 new virus-related deaths, bringing the statewide death toll to 7,538.
As of 10 p.m. Thursday, Murphy said 5,972 patients were hospitalized with the virus, which continues to decline.
Central Jersey continues to see a downward trend, the governor said.
There were 1,724 patients reported in critical or intensive care, with 1,286 on ventilators, and 571 patients had been discharged. There were 532 new hospitalizations and 46 residents were at field medical stations, bringing that total to 380 since opening.
"The numbers are better, but they're not zero and we need to get them there as fast as possible," Murphy said. "The numbers are showing positive trends and these are the trends that we will need to see carrying over in the coming weeks if we are to put ourselves on that road back and begin the restart of our economy."
In Central Jersey, 511 new cases were reported Friday in Union, Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterdon counties, along with 58 more deaths.

In Union County, which ranked fourth now ranks fifth of the New Jersey counties with the highest number of cases, there was an increase of 201 cases, bringing its total to 12,779. There were 24 more deaths in Union, bringing the county's total to 714.

In Middlesex County, which continues to rank sixth among the top six counties in totalcases, there were 232 new cases, bringing its total to 11,947. There were 20 more deaths there, bringing its total to 591.
In Somerset County, there were 73 new cases, bringing its total to 3,537. In addition, 12 more deaths were reported there for a total of 282.
READ:Coronavirus: Hunterdon County town-by-town numbers for April 30
In Hunterdon County,five new cases were reported, bringing the total there to 608. In addition, the county total of deaths increased by two bringing the total there to 31.
During the briefing, Murphy said he hopes to announce a decision on schools on Monday or Tuesday.
He also announced changes in the in-person requirements for the solemnization of marriage licenses and working papers for minors.
Murphy said over the past two weeks, the state Department of Labor received 193,000 unemployment claims for a total of 622,000 people now receiving unemployment from the state.
He said the unresolved claims are mostly for the pool of about 200,000 individuals who are self employed, independent contractors or gig workers who filed for benefits under the federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program.
Those claims are starting to be processed today and will continue to be processed over the weekend, he said.
"Every New Jerseyan eligible for unemployment benefits will receive every dollar, every penny they qualify for," Murphy said.
With the opening of parks and golf courses this weekend, State Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli reminded residents to visit parks close to home, stay at least six feet from others, bring hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, wash your hands frequently, cloth face masks are strongly encouraged, practice respiratory etiquette, avoid gathering with others outside of your household, don't visit crowded parks where you cannot appropriately distance from others, don't visit a park if you're sick or have recently been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, don't use playgrounds or congregate with others and do not share your golf carts.

Az Utva 75 jugoszláv dugattyús motoros oktató és gyakorló repülőgép, melyet az 1970-es évek végétől gyártott a pancsovai Utva repülőgépgyár. A típust V−53 jelzéssel a Jugoszláv Néphadsereg alapfokú kiképző repülőgépként rendszeresítette.

Története
1975-ben tervezték az Utva Aero 3 felváltására az Utva repülőgépgyárban a belgrádi Repüléstechnikai Intézet, a Belgrádi Műszaki Egyetem Gépészmérnöki kara szakemberei, valamint a mostari SOKO repülőgépgyár közreműködésével. A fejlesztés alapjául az Utva 66-os gép szolgált. A prototípus 1976. május 19-én hajtotta végre az első felszállást. 1977-ben kezdődött el a sorozatgyártás. Több változatban gyártották 1985-ig. Összesen 136 darab készült belőle. A kétszemélyes gyakorló és kiképző alapváltozat mellett gyártották a négyszemélyes könnyű szállító változatát is. A gyakorló változat szárnya alatt könnyű fegyverzet (50 és 100 kg-os bombák, 57 mm-es földi célok elleni nem irányított rakéták, 7,62 mm-es géppuska) rögzítésére szolgáló felfüggesztő csomópontot helyeztek el. A gép vitorlázók vontatására is alkalmas.

Alkalmazása

A gépet 1979-ben a Jugoszláv Néphadseregben rendszeresítették alapfokú kiképzésre. Jugoszlávia felbomlása után valamennyi utódállamban üzemben maradt. A gépet a délszláv háborúban harci szerepkörben is alkalmazták, elsősorban a horvát és a boszniai oldalon. Napjainkban magánszemélyek tulajdonában mint sport- és szabadidő repülőgép is megtalálható.

Típusváltozatok
 Utva 75A21 − kétszemélyes kiképző változat
 Utva 75A41 − négyszemélyes (egy pilóta és három utas) könnyű utasszállító, sport és szabadidő-repülőgép változat
 Utva 75AG − Kísérleti mezőgazdasági változat, melyből egy prototípus készült. Az 1988-ban épített, YU-XAF lajstromjelű gép a pancsovai repülőgépgyár 1999. áprilisi bombázásakor megsemmisült.

My name is John Khalil. I'm now 33 years old and I live in Oakland, CA. When I was young, I was always a dreamer. It probably started back around 1988 when my father took me to an Egyptian wedding. I saw all kinds of instruments that I'd never heard before. The look, the sounds, and the vibrancy were intoxicating. I was hooked! Right then and there, I dreamed that one day that I'd be able work with musicians in Egypt and the Middle East.
Both my mom and uncle were musicians. I must have gotten my musical abilities from her side of the family because my father couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Tom Tewell, my mom's brother, was a Rock 'n' Roll guitar player. Over his early teens and twenties he played in a ton of bands. At one point his band "Twister" needed a keyboard player, so he recruited my mom. I was completely surrounded by people whose passion for music couldn't be ignored. I was inspired! From there my uncle taught me the guitar and bass. After that it was recording and sound engineering. Soon enough, playing music became a part of my life too. Maybe the biggest part.
But why am I telling you all this? There's a reason music dominated my life and it's much more important than the sound of a good tune. It served a greater function. Besides the sweet melody of a good jam, music gave me a voice. It was a social soapbox in which people like myself could voice their opinions to an audience without becoming tied to a particular interest group. Music was the language of the world and people were using it to create real change for social issues. I knew with an instrument in my hand, I could do the same thing.
Surely as the artist in me grew and improved I also decided to learn the skills of doing a live show and event form the production standpoint. In high school I started working for my mom and uncles southern rock band on the weekends. I learned live audio, lighting, production and many other valuable skills that I use today in my professional life. In fact I now own and run an A/V company called Diamond Entertainment & Arts. I operate out of the SF Bay Area and mostly do private events, fundraisers, weddings and the like.
Now each of those little steps and milestones in my life somehow led me on a zig-zaggy yellow brick road to a quaint coffee shop for an inspirational speaker's series by a non-profit called Dalai Lama Fellows. We were posted up at a cool and quaint coffee shop located somewhere in Potrero Hill. I was working as a sound tech, recording the speeches and providing some small sound gear. Amidst the attendees was a nice Egyptian guy named Paul, who was working the event as a photographer. We both chatted and were amused by the fact that we both had Egyptian ancestry and both loved to produce music. We exchanged emails and in passing said we should link up and work on something musical.
Flash forward to a couple months ago when I received an email from Paul regarding a project that was born out of concerned after seeing video footage online of the massacre of 21 Coptic Egyptians in Libya. We talked about speaking out against religious persecution and violent acts against these refugees. We asked each other how we could be of any help – our voices were surely our greatest weapons. So he introduced me to a project, more an idea at the time, called the Noon Project. Months later, we the Noon Project team have started to take action on these ideas and goals and are building something that people from all places and corners can participate in, by creating music that speak about the things that matter, with a goal to give aid to the oppressed.
Isn't it amazing what can happen if you dream a little? What can happen if you use your voice to manifest positive change? How lucky did I get that I can use my music to help someone else's aspirations come true?
Guess that kid who dreamed was on to something.
John Khalil is on the Production team of the Noon Project. He is an Event Manager with over 15 years experience in live events, artist management and studio production. He currently resides in Oakland, CA where he operates and A/V production company called Diamond Entertainment and Arts. He also lends his management and event services whether as a paid position or volunteer with Jazz Mafia, Crossroads Live Music Experience, Treat Social Club and Vau de Vire Society.

Rebecca Pow
MP for Taunton Deane
MP on Superfast Broadband Fact Finding Mission
Tuesday, 8 September, 2015
Feelings are running so high in Taunton Deane regarding the roll out of the superfast broadband programme that MP Rebecca Pow went on a walking fact finding tour of Taunton with Head of BT South West region Paul Coles and leading members of the Connecting Devon and Somerset team to try and press for more answers.
'Understanding the complexities of this roll out goes some way to helping to understand why some areas are not coming under the first phase of connection. Connecting up the whole of Devon and Somerset requires the equivalent of a quarter of a million miles of fibre to be installed which is the same as the distance from here to the moon. From the Taunton BT exchange 9,325 premises are connected via 60 cabinets but I wanted to look especially at those areas even in town that are not yet receiving SFB. In some instances problems are understandable for example the cabinet beside Mecca Bingo in Castle Way is awaiting archaeological excavations by English Heritage before work can continue, but I am pleased to say following much lobbying I have been assured that the area around the bottom of the High Street which has been a bug bear for many businesses is due to come on stream by December.
I have been lobbying on behalf of many rural areas too who are falling out of the 90% of properties covered in the first phase of Connecting Devon and Somerset (the largest SFB project nationally, costing the government £90million) including Heathfield, parts of Burrowbridge and Stoke St Gregory and Churchstanton. It seems that a range of alternative options may now be considered for some of these areas with the opening shortly of bidding for phase two of the contract. I am pressing for consideration of certain specific areas to be dealt with as 'special' areas, perhaps the Blackdown Hills, just as Dartmoor and Exmoor have been handled, something I discussed recently with locals in the Blackdown Hills AONB,' says Rebecca.
One aspect Rebecca Pow, who is vice chair or the All Party Parliamentary Group on Rural Broadband and a member of the Defra Select Committee, will be pressing government for is legislation to ensure that all new premises must have fibre brought to the premises as is the case currently with wires. 'It is quite ridiculous that this is not already in our planning law,' says Rebecca, 'some development companies are doing this already at their own expense but it should be essential for all new properties to be required to included SFB connection automatically. Broadband is our third utility after electricity and water it this really needs to be addressed.'
I appreciate how important broadband is to both individuals and businesses and I can assure you that access to superfast broadband is a key priority for this Government. Reliable, fast broadband is now seen as the norm, not a nice-to-have.

Digital Mass, anonymous artist(s) familiar to netlabel drone-ambient enthusiasts, contributes a long drone work made especially for Webbed Hand's "Rain" series.
Rumours abound concerning the identity of the shadowy figure behind this project. Truly a rootless cosmopolitan with a wide arsenal of sound-makers at his/her disposal, it has been recently intimated that our hero may be Chilean, but this cannot be confirmed.
What is known for certain is that the means by which this recording came to be, involves a few steel-string instruments, the drones from which were coaxed by use of a most ingenious device, the EBow.
Listen carefully to this one, there's lots to hear! Good music comes from Chile.

Biografia

Marsilio era il figlio secondogenito di Cristoforo, conte di Guastalla e Montechiarugolo, e della nobile Taddea Pio.

Alla morte del padre, succedette al feudo paterno il fratello maggiore Marcantonio. Egli aveva intrapreso la carriera ecclesiastica ed era stato nominato protonotaro apostolico, ma quando il fratello era improvvisamente deceduto senza eredi, lasciò l'abito talare per ottenere il possesso della contea di Montechiarugolo, assicurando il beneficio ecclesiastico al fratello terzogenito Guido.

Intrapresa la carriera delle armi, servì gli Sforza negli scontri con i Rossi e i veneziani e in particolare nella famosa congiura dei baroni del Regno di Napoli, dove partecipò con 1800 cavalli e 2000 fanti.

Con l'intento di assicurare la successione al trono della piccola contea, sposò Paola Secco d'Aragona, figlia del conte Francesco Secco e di Caterina Gonzaga. Il padre di Paola era stato un condottiero valente e stimato che aveva partecipato alla battaglia di Fornovo e morì poi a Vicopisano nel 1496, servendo i fiorentini nella loro guerra contro i pisani.

Morì a Chieti il 15 agosto 1489.

Discendenza
Marsilio e Paola ebbero quattro figli:
Cristoforo
Francesco
Orsina
Barbara.

Speaking on the occasion, Scindia said that India has a 5,000-year old history that has been powered by spiritual forces and moral values.
He said that the Prime Minister has been stressing not only on India becoming an economic powerhouse, but also leading a cultural resurgence on the global stage.
Scindia suggested that the exhibition of the art pieces should not be confined to Delhi only, but should be taken worldwide as well as in various parts of the country, showcasing India's rich cultural heritage.
The minister said that Air India has been a pioneer of its own kind, as he applauded J.R.D. Tata for his forward thinking and being a pioneer.
He said the showpieces being handed over to NGMA not only contain modern art masterpieces, but also include a wide range of exquisite handlooms, sculptures and other artworks.
Reddy said that through the MoU, the priceless art collection of Air India since 1953 is being transferred to the NGMA under the Ministry of Culture.
The paintings and artworks will now find their rightful place, he added.

The United States didn't qualify for the 2018 World Cup yet is awarded hosting responsibilities for the 2026 World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico.
And some people say soccer is uneventful?
Winning the bid over Morocco, the United States has been granted tremendous incentive—with accompanying pressure—to elevate the national team beyond just a qualifying force in less than a decade.
Particularly following an embarrassing omission in Russia for the World Cup with games starting tomorrow, soccer fans here and abroad are rightly wondering about the direction of the United States Men's National Team (USMNT).
Will the United States ever fully showcase its grand potential on the sport's biggest stage?
Following America's 2002 quarterfinal finish—controversial as the 1-nil loss to Germany was—the USMNT has not yet fulfilled its soccer destiny during the past 16 years. Christian Pulisic, Zack Steffen, Wil Trapp, Julian Green and other young players are showing glimpses of a positive USMNT future on the pitch.
Returning to the successful World Cup bid, what American cities were submitted to host World Cup games? This list will be reduced to 10 in the coming years.
That list includes Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York/New Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Columbus was excluded, which I believe is absolutely disgraceful.
The locations for the matches will show the country and the world where the soccer hot spots are in the United States.
And yet, the three-nation committee ignored the storied, inspirational history of soccer in Columbus involving the Crew and USMNT.
Remember in 2016 when the Horseshoe hosted more than 86,000 screaming European giants fans for the Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid match?
Comparatively, the attendance for the 2014 World Cup final between Argentina and Germany was just shy of 75,000.
Keep in mind that two of the American host cities have yet to have their future team play a single game as a member of MLS (Cincy and Nashville) and one city is on its second attempt at supporting an MLS club (Miami).
For a myriad of reasons, one of which being Dos-a-Cero, Columbus absolutely should have been named as one of the sites for the 2026 World Cup. Moreover, Ohio's capital city has two legitimate stadiums to offer; small and intimate at MAPFRE Stadium (or a possible new downtown stadium in the future) or large and grand in the Horseshoe.
And I thought the USMNT missing the 2018 World Cup was an embarrassing low-point.
