Produced by League and co-produced by Stevens, Willis and Crosby, Here If You Listen bears a stripped-down, acoustically driven sound centered on the band's stunning harmonies. But despite its sonic simplicity and minimal percussion, the album unfolds in infinitely shifting textures that find each musician tapping into their own carefully honed palette and idiosyncratic sensibilities.
Crosby and the "Lighthouse" band will hit the road this fall in support of Here If You Listen.

Some socially conscious teams take time to visit veterans at Walter Reed Hospital when they visit the Nationals in Washington.
The Rockies were the latest, going Tuesday. The visit was voluntary, but the entire Colorado roster turned out to spend time with wounded soldiers.
"For someone who has never spent a day in the service, to see what they have gone through, you feel so inadequate when they say, 'Thank you,' " Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "They have given so much for their country and are so proud of their country. There's a guy with no legs who says it's not bad. He can get a set of legs. He tells you it's the guys with no arms that have the tough deal."
George Mitchell's steroids committee has begun to depose baseball executives and coaches. Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, pitching coach Rick Anderson and hitting coach Joe Vavra each gave 90-minute depositions Tuesday.
"We were briefed on it, and they're just trying to figure out how to help the game," Gardenhire said. "No names (of suspected users). Just general stuff. It went fine, I'm glad it's done with, and we'll move on."
Lawyers for the Mitchell committee are scheduled to meet with Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon, senior adviser Don Zimmer, senior vice president of baseball operations Gerry Hunsicker and team president Matt Silverman this week. That Zimmer testimony, like any from White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen if it is eventually sought, could be priceless. It's surprising the committee also isn't deposing team trainers routinely, although perhaps that will happen at a different time.
The Yankees are talking to the Nationals about Alfonso Soriano, but the any package would have to include Philip Hughes, a 19-year-old who already has risen to Double-A. ... Tampa Bay similarly is setting a high asking price for center fielder Carl Crawford. The Angels reportedly were told talks would have to start with 23-year-old right-hander Ervin Santana and a top prospect, like second baseman Howie Kendrick. ... When the Braves dropped 10 games behind the Mets, it marked the first time they faced a double-digit deficit since 1990. General manager John Schuerholz and manager Bobby Cox have worked miracles in other seasons during the run of 14 consecutive division titles, but you wonder if they might concede this season and become sellers at the trade deadline. ... If no one offers them a ton for him, the Dodgers will use Cesar Izturis as a utility infielder when he returns from elbow-ligament surgery later this month. While Guillen pledges allegiance to Juan Uribe, there are those in the White Sox organization who really like Izturis.

If the Labour party on the whole, and Watson in particular didn't have double standards they'd have no standards. Their hypocrisy is astonishing.

Charles Tilstone Beke (1800-1874) was an explorer who published several papers in the Imperial Magazine and other periodicals concerning biblical and archaeological research. His first work of importance entitled, Origines Biblicae, or Researches in Primeval History was published in 1834. His object was to establish the theory of the fundamental tripartite division of the languages of mankind, from which had arisen all existing languages and dialects.
The present work contains the narrative of an expedition to north-western Arabia, undertaken at the commencement of 1874, by Dr Charles Beke. Beke's journey lasted three months and eleven days. He returned to England announcing his discovery of the capital of Midian at the same time as Richard Burton had gone to make further explorations in the area. Beke undertook the journey when he was 73 years old. He believed that the true Mount Sinai was in Saudi Arabia (Mt. Barghir). He was an archaeologist, biblical historian and traveller who explored Abyssinia in 1840-43, and Syria and Palestine in 1861-62. Mrs. Beke, who edited this work, had previously written summary of the late Dr. Beke's published works, 1876.

The revision of the fisheries control system ongoing in Brussels
0 4101 14 February 2020
The European Commission published its proposal for a revision of the fisheries control regulation in May 2018. The European Parliament and the Council of the EU started to work on the text back then but lacked time to agree on a final version before the end of the legislature. Following the European elections that took place in May 2019, the new Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) decided to restart the work on the text from the beginning. Clara Aguilera Garcia, an experienced MEP from Spain, was appointed rapporteur. The hope is that the new regulation will be finalized and adopted by the end of the year.
The control regulation is a very important piece of legislation for the recreational fisheries sector as it seeks to regulate recreational fisheries (Article 55). Some of the current proposals move in a positive direction while the EAA and EFTTA hold the opinion that some would benefit from a more nuanced approach.
The proposed compulsory registration or licensing system can be seen as positive as it would allow to collect more data on recreational fisheries and better data is instrumental for a better policy. The EAA, together with EFTTA, consider that it is vital that the choice between a registration and a licensing system is left to the Member States, in order to take into account the current situation in each country. Where there is no system in place, a free of charge registration should be the method of choice.
The Commission also proposes a catch reporting system for recreational fisheries. The EAA and EFTTA support sensible catch registration that is limited to stocks subject to Union conservation measures. Priority should be given to electronic reporting as to prevent overburdening of anglers practicing a leisure activity while leaving the possibility for anglers who would like to report differently to do so.
Marking of recreational fishing gears is also proposed. This would be a positive step towards better control especially for the use of nets and traps as it will improve the identification of the owner and the removal of illegal nets and traps. However, an exemption for rods is needed as there is no benefit for fisheries control purposes to be attained by such marking.
The tracking of vessels used for recreational fisheries proposed by the Commission seems unnecessary and impractical. Every object that can carry a person on the water would have to be registered including canoes, rowboats and jet skis, which all can be used to fish from. As all recreational fishers will have to be registered, and catches are regulated per person and not per boat or vessel as is the rule for commercial fishers, there is no need for a recreational vessel register. It does not add value for fisheries management and would come with a huge administrative burden.
The EAA and EFTTA do propose to include a definition of charter boats in the new regulation. Charter boats are hired by anglers to bring them to the places at sea where they want to fish. Charter boating has a big growth potential and could bring a positive contribution to the EU blue growth strategy. It is, for example, one of the very few businesses that can generate sustainable economic activity in marine protected areas. The charter boat sector is not well organised nationally or at the EU level. A charter boat chapter in this piece of legislation could be an important first step in that direction.
Overall, the main challenge for MEPs and EU Member States is to ensure a practicable, proportionate and fair approach to the different fisheries sectors. Reinforced controls of recreational fisheries should go hand in hand with improvements to the small-scale fisheries controls as proposed by the European Commission (i.e. withdrawal of exemptions regarding catch recording logbooks, inshore vessel monitoring systems and less allowable quantity of fish to be sold directly to consumers). Above all, the management of recreational fisheries should not be about the catches only. The economic value of recreational fisheries should be considered whenever restrictions are proposed so decision-makers will know of the negative impact these restrictions could have on the recreational fisheries sector.
The EAA and EFTTA advocate the sustainable development of sea angling and would like to see its growth potential come to fruition, together with the recreational boating and charter boating sectors. The control regulation can be an obstacle or a help for that to happen.

Cashmere and the politics of the brown body
By Rhea Bhagat
On 'Half Moghul, Half Mowgli', a track from the new album by the Swet Shop Boys, London born Riz MC reflects on the fluidity of the migrant identity:
Raised like a concrete jungli,
And a junglist and a Londonist,
But my DNA wonder where my home should be
In a few bars, Riz captures the essential struggle faced by first generation migrants: how to navigate cultural expectations while 'assimilating' into the Western mainstream. Through sharp satire, the Swet Shop boys encapsulate the precarity of the first generation experience: the 'floating' feeling of statelessness.
The Swet Shop Boys are the hip-hop iconoclasts Riz MC (actor Riz Ahmed, famous for playing Naz on The Night Of) and Heems (Himanshu Suri of Das Racist). Heems is a Punjabi-Hindu from Queens and Riz Ahmed was raised by Pakistani parents in suburban London. They have parallel experiences of marginalisation on both sides of the Atlantic.
Their 2016 album Cashmere explores this common ground: the experience of brown migrants in a post September 11 world. Both Riz MC and Heems have explored similar themes in their solo work. In 2006, Riz Ahmed attracted controversy for his song titled 'Post 9/11 Blues'. The track is set to a jarring, childish tune, with a singsong chorus: 'Blair and Bush/Sitting in a tree/K-I-L-L-I-N-G'. It was deemed 'politically sensitive' and banned on British radio, suggesting 'freedom of speech' is only permissible when it fits into a Western paradigm. An axis of Western countries invaded a sovereign nation on a flimsy pretext, resulting in the death of at least half a million Iraqis, yet a satirical rap song protesting this atrocity is deemed to be a 'threat'.
Cashmere adopts a similarly subversive approach, blending absurd comedy with social commentary. It is a charged protest against the right-wing renaissance. With his spitfire style, Riz Ahmed taunts Trump on the track 'T5':
Trump wants my exit
but if he press a button to watch Netflix
bruv I'm on
The album is deeply concerned with the consequences of the 'war on terror': the refugee crisis, radicalisation and the rise of Islamophobia. With laconic humour and swagger, Heems reflects on the tyranny of airport security:
Oh no, we're in trouble
TSA always wanna burst my bubble
Always get a random check when I rock the stubble
These lyrics encapsulate the current political climate: an era of 'extreme vetting' and intense xenophobia. Airports serve as fraught transition zones where brown bodies have to justify their presence on Western soil. In his essay for the Guardian, Riz Ahmed describes his experience being interrogated at a US airport, where he attempted to evade suspicion by 'making Hugh Grant noises'. He was required to perform whiteness to gain acceptance. 'Whiteness' here represents centrality; a neutral individualism.
Owning a brown body is an inherently political act, and those who are most visibly 'different' – women in hijabs, bearded men – face the greatest threat. Racial profiling is predicated on the idea of the 'ethnic monolith', where migrants are stripped of their individuality and tainted by the presumption of guilt by association. The Nigerian writer and activist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie once said: 'Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person.'
Migrants are denied complexity because it is easier to dehumanise a caricature. On the track 'No Fly List', Heems raps over a growling synth, lamenting this tragic paradox: 'I'm so fly bitch/But I'm on a no fly list'.
Cashmere subverts the 'single story' of South Asia by presenting the migrant experience in all its multiplicity. Riz code switches between 'observant Muslim' and 'Brit-rudeboy' and Heems is a 'sexy mother-fakir'. This duality is echoed in the instrumentation, which combines 90s trap music with a palette of desi infused sounds – traditional instruments like the dholak, tabla and shehnai. The album samples prominent South Asians: murdered women's rights activist Qandeel Baloch, Nobel prizewinner Malala Yousefzai and iconic qawwali singer Aziz Mian.
Cashmere is a revelation. With the exception of MIA, the South Asian experience is rarely reflected in rap music. The Swet Shop Boys adopt the tropes of hip-hop, combining flexing masculinity ('Sweatsuit on with an Hermès turban/Pull up on a bad, brown ting out in Durban') with nuanced social commentary. It illustrates how African-American culture is a proxy for the experiences of other marginalised minorities in the West. Riz raps in a South London staccato: 'My only heroes are black rappers/So to me Tupac is a true Paki'.
Like Solange's masterwork A Seat at the Table, Cashmere defiantly refuses to cater to the white mainstream, and offers an eloquent critique of appropriation. The propulsive anthem 'Zayn Malik' (a reference to the high-profile Muslim member of One Direction) offers a scathing critique of the westernised Hare Krishna movement. Riz describes a vivid image: 'My flow like a ponytail/when I spit on a skinhead/he becomes a Hare Krishna'.
Similarly, the closing track Din-E-Ilhai skewers cultural imperialism:
They comin' for the culture man, like they was on a mission
Ask me bout the Kama Sutra, different sex positions
Used to hate the clothes, they ask where'd I get the stitchin'
Used to call me curry now they cook it in their kitchen
As a teenager in Australia, the signifiers of my South Asian culture were reviled. The way South Asians spoke and dressed, our 'smelly' food and 'strange' religious practices were a source of shame. South Asians were a punchline; most notably Hank Azaria's servile portrayal of 'Apu' on the Simpsons.
In recent years, South Asian culture has been decontextualised and rebranded as 'fashionable' by corporate interests. Perky white women on Instagram share 'pimped out' dosa recipes and taut yoga-toned arms. Social media influencers douse themselves in coconut oil. Cafés serve five dollar 'turmeric lattes'. Foreheads are adorned with bindis, hands with henna. Popular culture capitalises on the South Asian 'lifestyle', without regard for its people or history. Heems calls this out, describing it as, 'Hinduism in the bottle/Marketed and sold like fairness cream by the model'.
Cashmere is a tribute to the unique cultural lexicon of the South Asian diaspora. It is peppered with Hindu and Urdu slang, Bollywood references and jokes about parental expectation ('Yeah you rap/but you should have been a surgeon'). The album name itself is a pun on the way Westerners pronounce 'Kashmir': the violently disputed territory between India and Pakistan which serves as the site of a proxy war. 'The Swet Shop Boys' is also a playful reference to the British group 'The Pet Shop Boys', a clever reappropriation of Western culture and a statement about how South Asia is perceived as 'the sweatshop' of the world.
This album feels timely. In an era of Trump and Farage, it is an impassioned defence of globalisation. It is a rebellious, chaotic work, presenting an expansive vision of South Asian identity. Despite the specificity of its concerns, Cashmere promotes a common language: hip-hop as the lingua franca of dispossession.

I absolutely loved this article, when my friend and I heard this album, we were absolutely taken a back by the experiences emebelished by these rap artists. While we realise that we were both immigrants, and inevitably taking jobs away from "local" Australians, we couldn't help feel pride in what we heard in these verses. So, I guess, good on you for commenting on the impact of this underrated work.

Great article! I love Riz Ahmed (adoy who doesn't)

Clashes Ongoing in Herat City for 6th Day
Clashes entered the sixth day in the city of Herat on Monday specifically in districts 2, 3, 7 and 14 as well as in the southern parts of Herat's capital near Injil district.
Herat is the second provincial capital city along with Lashkargah where heavy clashes have been underway for the past few days.
"We have air support and the Taliban's gatherings have been targeted in various parts of Herat city where they have sustained heavy casualties," said Herat governor Gen. Abdul Saboor Qani.
A former mujahedeen leader and senior member of the Jamiat-e-Islami party, Mohammad Ismail Khan, who is leading public uprising forces in the fight against the Taliban, asked Heratis to mobilize against the Taliban and assured them that the city will be defended.
"It is an obligation to all men and women in Herat to save themselves from this force of ignorance," Khan said. "The Taliban has found more arrogance than in the past."
Some young men who recently joined the public uprising forces said they will not allow the Taliban to take over the city.
"Our homeland will be destroyed if we leave it to the Taliban," said Mohammad, a public uprising forces member. "We will not allow the Taliban to capture our country. They will be defeated."
"The imam of our mosque has joined the Taliban and is fighting against us," said Shahryar, a public uprising forces member.
Meanwhile, three civilians were killed and 10 more were wounded in an explosion in the city of Herat on Monday evening, health officials said.
According to security sources, the blast targeted a bus carrying civilians, and women are among the victims.

30 Reasons Why Salman Khan Never Grows Old
With Bhai now having spent 30 years in Bollywood, we break down the formula of his popularity
by Shreevatsa Nevatia
#1 He, basically, owns Prem: Having played 'Prem' in all of 15 films, Salman owns the name more than any legit, living Prem ever could. It all started with Maine Pyar Kiya (1989). Everyone was wearing that ridiculous 'FRIEND' cap after Salman's Prem made it popular. Some of us even tried talking to pigeons. The actor put it well: "I played Prem, but did Prem make us, or did we make Prem? We don't know."
#2 No one handles rejection better: If it weren't for Salman, we wouldn't know that love was all about letting go. In Saajan (1991), he taught us the first rule of the bro code—Baba comes before Bhai. As Aman in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), he did everything right, but what's love if not sacrifice? Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) was a classic. The climax left him all alone, but it seems that's how he likes it.
#3 He was our very own He-Man: When Salman had just started out, his father Salim Khan had told him that the days of lanky romantic heroes are usually numbered. Wanting to extend that expiry date, the actor hit the gym. He emerged from it with a blonde wig and a He-Man costume. Suryavsanshi (1992) had everything—betrayal, ghosts, past-life regression. The real rebirth, however, was Salman's.
#4 No one makes better mischief: Several Indian families and films have popularised the notion that a devar (brother-in-law) is essentially a little deewana (crazy). But Hum Aapke Hain Koun…! (1994) set an altogether impossible benchmark for a devar's mischief. Bhai has perfect aim when taking out bad guys in his more action-oriented films, but the things he can do with a slingshot no one can (or should).
#5 He is (almost) the model son: Reema Lagoo was mother to much of Bollywood, but even she would have agreed that none of her sons were as doting as Salman. The actor perhaps takes to screen the affection he feels for his own parents. He says he loves his mother Salma most in the world. His father Salim Khan is his "hero", and the writer is always the first to come to his defence. (That happens often.)
#6 He is the perfect brother: His brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail, have each been filmy enough to say they'd give up their lives for Salman. Arpita Khan, his youngest sister once posted this message for him: "My strength, my weakness, my pride, my joy, my life, my world." There's thankfully one thing Karan Arjun (1995) has taught us all—"Yeh bandhan toh pyar ka bandhan hai, janmon ka sangam hai."
#7 Because Bhai ka haath sar pe hai: If Salman Khan is your BFF, he will not let you perish in obscurity. Bobby Deol once told him, "Let me climb on your back for support," and a year later, he was cast in Race 3 (2018). Legend has it that Salman did Partner (2007) only to help Govinda out of a slump. He's had the backs of Katrina Kaif and Jacqueline Fernandez for a while now. He is not our bae for nothing.
#8 He gets Bollywood in shape: Hrithik Roshan's physique before Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000) would not have made anyone drool. Salman Khan changed all that. Those biceps were all Bhai's doing. Arjun Kapoor, another member of the Sallu fit-for-film gym, had this to say, "Even my family did not notice my talent, but Salman Bhai saw the actor in me, and the very next day itself, he took me to the gym."
#9 He is Bollywood's most prolific talent scout: Music directors like Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid-Wajid would have faded into oblivion if Salman would not have hoisted them on his films. The actor is also ensuring his colleagues from the 90s have a legacy in Bollywood. It's only because of Salman that the children of Aditya Pancholi, Suniel Shetty and Raza Murad now all have a workplace to turn up at.
#10 He is the director's darling: Actors usually credit directors for having made something of their careers, but in the case of Salman Khan, this relationship usually works the other way. Were it not for the star's support, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, for instance, would have had a more stunted innings in Bollywood. Salman's brothers are both his directors too, but we don't know who bullies whom there.
#11 He doesn't need to act: As his brother and director, Sohail Khan made an interesting observation about Salman last year—"I think he has stopped acting long back, now he just reacts to the situation. His first spontaneous reaction is actually the reaction that he feels as an individual." Bhai has himself confessed, "There is no actor in me, at all." He probably wasn't being ironic. That'd be too much acting.
#12 No one does shirtless better: Hairy and in most parts flabby, the male torso was altogether unappetising until Salman Khan took his shirt off. Wearing only jeans and a guitar, the actor set a gold standard with 'O O Jaane Jaana'. Bollywood's actors were suddenly making a beeline for the gym and the waxing studio after Sallu Bhai made it clear that one's abdomen muscles can be counted in packs.
#13 Only he can pull off that Tere Naam hairstyle: Even in 2003, we were all agreed on the fact that the star's Tere Naam hairstyle was unarguably the worst. This, however, didn't stop entire battalions of his fans from growing their hair and parting it down the middle. It's also a miracle that the oversized firozi bracelet Salman wore in the film has still not slipped off his wrist or off those of his diehard fans.
#14 He knows which joke to crack: Making Salman laugh is no easy business. He says he hasn't done a comedy in a while because no script has cracked him up. There was a time, however, when the actor was not so serious. In films like Andaz Apna Apna (1994) and Judwaa (1997), he made even the most ridiculous one-liner seem hilarious—"Dr Prem Khurana, is dhandhe mein bahut purana." How LOL, no?
#15 He is Dabangg: Salman Khan said it right in Dabangg (2010). The name 'Chulbul Pandey' does suit his personality. While it's still baffling to think that he had landed so many kicks and punches in a police uniform that tight, the actor's off-screen largesse did help make him the perfect 'Robin Hood'. We're eagerly awaiting the third instalment because "there izz always a first time, always a next time".

#16 He dances to his own tune: Let's face it. Salman Khan is no Tiger Shroff. He has never been. But there are some dance moves, however, that the actor has trademarked for posterity. In 'O O Jaane Jaana', he did this thing with his legs that made you think he was (unsuccessfully) kickstarting a bike, and then came 'Jeene Ke Hain Chaar Din'. The 'towel step' was so breathtaking, it defies all description.
#17 He can carry a paunch: The Salman Khan blockbuster can often be distilled to a neat formula, but Sultan (2016) was different. Not just was he forced to emote in the film, he was also made to gain weight for some of its scenes. Watching Salman stare at his 96 kilos in the mirror, we finally saw the star act his age. A typical Indian man in his 50s who had let himself go, he had never been more human.
#18 He is always Being Human: Salman has gone on record to say he's the "worst businessman ever". All the money that he earns from his Being Human apparel goes right back to the NGO. Bhai's trousers, it seems, don't come with a pocket. Started with the objective of providing education and healthcare to the underprivileged, Being Human is also manufacturing e-cycles to help commuters and the planet.
#19 He cycles around Bandra: The more cynical amongst us might dismiss it as a careful promotion, but there's something a touch heartwarming about seeing one of Bollywood's biggest stars cycle his way around Bandra. Passing Mannat this one time, Salman even hollered to his friend Shah Rukh Khan. In the immortal words of Bhai himself, "Tu Superman hai? Spiderman hai? Abhe tu common man hai."
#20 Only he can repair Indo-Pak ties: If we were to walk on the footsteps of Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), the India-Pakistan border would have been a line drawn in the sand, not one that was set in stone. No other actor has promoted cross-border bonhomie with such conviction. In Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Salman, a RAW agent, even falls for an ISI spy. Bhai takes that 'love thy neighbour' thing very seriously.
#21 Because he won't give up on Bigg Boss: An idea might be hackneyed. Nothing in the world could be more deathly or boring, but the show is not over until Salman Khan says it is. Bigg Boss, now in its 12th year, is proof that not just can Salman beat a dead horse, he can still somehow manage to ride it season after season. It's been eight years, Bhai! Bigg Boss bhi chahte hain you finally give us that break.
#22 He just won't get married: Salman Khan might be 52, but fans hanging outside Galaxy Apartments still want to be fed his shaadi's ladoos. No woman, it seems, can tie the star down and make a man of him. An icon for single people all over, Salman has shown going it alone can have benefits. He'd said, "[Journalists] just want to chhapo that marriage thingy. For me, I think marriage is a waste of money!"
#23 He gives the best love advice: For a good few years now, Bhai, despite his bachelorhood, has been dishing out advice to his lovelorn fans. In Partner, he had said, "Propose karne mein itna pause lega, toh woh tujhe dispose karke chali jayegi." Things did get murky in No Entry (2005), but then in Wanted (2009), he went and gave us this gem: "Don't chase girls. Chase money. Girls will chase you instead!"
#24 Because he is always so positive: For Salman, films are something of a moral education. He once said that when an audience sees nobility projected by a hero, they feel inspired to emulate it: "This is one of the reasons why I haven't ever played a negative character. Say if you have a character who earns a living through corrupt means, man, that puts me off." So, Salman has only one shade, not fifty.
#25 The box office loves him most: Fresh off the success of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015)—the film is estimated to have earned Rs400 crore—Sooraj Barjatya had stated the obvious: "Salman Bhai takes the whole film on his shoulders and his diehard fans, no matter what, always watch his films." Salman Khan's fans are an army. Every movie for them is a battle to be won for their General at the box office.
#26 Because he can also paint: His father Salim Khan says that Salman's instinct to paint "comes in waves". When the actor decides to get his hands dirty with acrylic and charcoal, however, he does do enough to justify his second talent. More than keeping Bhai out of trouble, Salman's Buddhas, Christs and Shivas are used for greater good. Proceeds from his artworks are given to his Being Human NGO.
#27 He can overcome any adversity: Salman Khan is reputedly a man of few words, but when suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder, he found he was literally speechless. It becomes so hard to bear the resultant pain of this disorder, doctors have taken to calling it the 'suicide disease'. In 2017, Salman said the condition had on him a wholly opposite effect: "I started working really hard."
#28 No one is more secular: For years now, Salman Khan has celebrated Eid and Diwali with equal fervour. He has repeatedly said that his Muslim father and Hindu mother ensured that he consider all religions equally. Bajrangi Bhaijaan director Kabir Khan had once said, "He feels very strongly about few issues, especially how secularism is perceived in India. Salman is a living example of secularism."
#29 He makes being unpopular popular: Unpredictable, prickly, vague—the actor is every journalist's nightmare. Bhai's relationship with the media, however, hit rock-bottom after his security detail took to roughing up photographers in 2014. After they banned him, the actor tweeted, "The photographers are gonna lose out on work, but [they] have still taken a decision not to take my pics. Happy for them."
#30 He is, basically, misunderstood: On more than one occasion, Salman Khan has said he hates big cars. To think that he was driving maniacally around Bandra on September 28, 2002, is a ludicrous idea. He was more likely to have been cycling to work. As for the blackbuck, it would just be fair to assume that the creature came in his way. When it comes to defending Salman, hum saath saath hain!

Any career we desire to go for has its pros and cons, but which one is worth trying for is up to our own will and passion. In this charismatic world, a career in photography is the icing on the cake.
Because who don't need a professional photographer by their side?
If you thinking to be a photographer, don't think twice as it is one of the most demanding fields these days and will always be.
We usually get confused between the job profiles and types of photography. A Job profile may consider more than one type of photography. Firstly we'll discuss the types and then the profiles because in the end what matters is how you'll learn from it.
If nature is where you belong to and every beautiful part of it makes you stop and adore it, you are the perfect fit for this type of photography. Landscape photography is the art of capturing the beauty of nature in a single photograph.
Your love for animals and studying their behavior is the key ingredient for this type of photography. Exploring the jungles with a lot of adventure. No, not always about the jungle, but yes, it is a part. A wildlife photographer has to face many challenges, but once they get the click they have desired for, it's worth it.
It is most demanding in the market. This type of photography focuses on expressions, poses and to define the mood. It could be on an individual, two or a family. Aspiring models opt for such clicking style for their portfolios. There are many portrait photographers in the market already. So, it has a tough competition.
Capturing the beauty of architecture from the ancient one of the houses for the business purposes comes under this category. The beauty of the monuments being pictured in the tourist books and clicking tourists is a huge business. Also the when it comes to commercial, structures of buildings from different angles for selling point of view.
The most known and looked down on the type of photography is wedding photography, but we don't know that it all depends on the clients, the venue and the studio. Today, wedding photography concerns a lot of people and they look for the best. There is a misconception that anyone can do it as it is the most done but it's not so. Usually, photographers start their career with the wedding or event photography because, it is one of the most growing sectors these days and has a lot of vacancies. But for it, one has to be mastered in portrait type of photography and should possess great editing skills. Because afterall we usually marry once in a lifetime.
Photography done for fashion magazines and articles comes under this category. It is basically capturing the style and sensational looks of the models. They are being captured while ramp walking, portraits and even celebrity photography.
Here, we are clear with the types of photography one should know. In our next article, we'll talk about the job profiles and the types that are usually used in it. How will they concern any individual and the quality of career they promise.

The Lada Niva Travel is a compact crossover utility vehicle (CUV) produced since 1998 by the AvtoVAZ Group. Originally called the VAZ-2123 (1998–2002), the SUV was marketed as the Chevrolet Niva from 2003 to 2020, when AvtoVAZ (the parent company of the Lada brand) was in a joint venture with General Motors, called GM-AvtoVAZ.

However, after General Motors sold its 50-percent stake in the firm in 2020, the car was for a short time rebranded as the 'Lada Niva', giving the car then the same name that the original, 1977-launched Lada Niva/ Lada 4x4/ VAZ-2121 still has, in certain European markets — while the VAZ-2123 is also a development of its predecessor, VAZ-2121's mechanical underpinnings.

On 21 December 2020, the car was rebranded the 'Lada Niva Travel'.

The VAZ/Lada 2123/Niva (II/Travel) is made only as a 5-door CUV, as short as a Ford Bronco II, riding on a  wheelbase – the exact middle of the original Lada Niva (Legend) wheelbases of  and . Although the body and the interiors are all new, it is still based on the old VAZ 2121 engine, transmission and most mechanicals.

The Niva Travel rebadging featured a touched-up body, and the 1.7-litre gasoline engine has fuel injection.

In 2003, the car was awarded zero stars out of a possible four by the Russian ARCAP safety assessment program.

An export version with reinforced hull, 1.8-litre Opel Ecotec Family 1 gasoline engine and Aisin four-wheel drive has been under consideration since 2003. Although most of the engineering work has been completed, the release has been constantly postponed. Although the GM-AvtoVAZ considered building a new engine plant for the local production of Ecotecs, in July 2005 it was announced that the project was cancelled, along with plans for the long-anticipated "export" Niva. However, the project was revived in autumn 2006 and the "Niva FAM1" was introduced as a new trim level for the 2007 model year. The price was much higher than the standard trim, that made the project not as successful and led it to be discontinued in April 2008. Another reason was the ceasing of Ecotec engine production at the Hungarian plant.

2009 Facelift and upgrade

In 2009, the model got a minor update, featuring a slight restyling, done by Bertone studio and some minor-changes. The GLS and GLC version also comes with improved safety, such as ABS and dual front airbags.

Lada takeover of production

In August 2020 Lada took over production of the Chevrolet Niva, rebranding it as the Lada Niva.

In December 2020, following a new generation of the car, the new Lada Niva was further rebranded as Lada Niva Travel, while the old Niva 4x4 was rebranded as Lada Niva Legend in January 2021.

Chevrolet Niva Concept (2014)

GM-AvtoVAZ introduced a concept vehicle for a new generation of the Chevrolet Niva at the Moscow International Automobile Salon in late August 2014. The Niva Concept, designed by Ondrej Koromház of GM (or at General Motors' headquarters in Melbourne according to other sources), had a longitudinal mounted engine, full-time four-wheel-drive, two-gear transfer case and rigid-axle rear suspension. The production model was supposed to get a 1.8-liter PSA Peugeot Citroën EC8 engine (135 hp) paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, although more recent news reports suggested that it was planned to be based on the Renault Duster platform. The new model's production version was initially expected in 2016, but following Chevrolet stopping sales of its mainstream models in Russia, no further information has been released on the topic.

In September 2018, it was reported that GM has suspended all the work on planned replacement of Chevrolet Niva.

In August 2020 Lada took over production of the Chevrolet Niva rebranding it as the Lada Niva.

Michael Francis "Mike" Teti (født 20. september 1956 i Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, USA) er en amerikansk tidligere roer.

Teti vandt en bronzemedalje i discplinen otter ved OL 1988 i Seoul, sammen med Jonathan Smith, Ted Patton, Jack Rusher, Peter Nordell, Jeffrey McLaughlin, Doug Burden, John Pescatore og styrmand Seth Bauer. I finalen blev amerikanerne kun besejret af guldvinderne fra Vesttyskland og af sølvvinderne fra Sovjetunionen.

Teti vandt desuden en VM-guldmedalje i otter ved VM 1987 i Danmark, og en bronzemedalje i samme disciplin ved VM 1985 i Belgien.

Efter sin aktive karriere har Teti fungeret som træner for både Princeton University, University of California og det amerikanske ro-landshold.

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was a poet, artist, writer and film maker. In addition to his writings, including "Les Enfants Terribles" and his films including "Beauty and the Beast" and "Orpheus", he is known for his associations with many of Europe's top artists, writers, actors and musicians. His circle included Pablo Picasso, Coco Chanel, Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf. One of the groups' restaurants of choice was La Mediterranee at 2 Place de l'Odeon. Cocteau provided artwork and writing for the restaurant that was used for signage and on plates and menus.
The Company of Master Craftsmen was founded in 1925 as a subsidiary of W. & J. Sloane. W. & J. Sloane, based in New York City, was one of the oldest and most established furniture makers and retailers in the U.S. It had a history of furnishing many of the finest homes in the country including the Breakers and the White House.
William Sloane Coffin Sr., who was President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and an executive with the Sloane Company, founded the Company of Master Craftsmen to make colonial style furniture. The company worked closely with the Metropolitan Museum's American wing, reproducing rare pieces from the collection to decorate the homes and offices of many of New York's and the country's elite. The Company's production was quite limited during its' thirty years in business making their pieces quite rare and very collectible. Today, a number of museums including the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the M.F.A. in Boston have Company of Master Craftsmen pieces in their permanent collections as examples of fine "revival" furniture.
Adolfo Carducci; "Fiacre au Cascine, Florence"
Bassett Furniture Company was founded in 1902 by the Bassett family of Henry County, Virginia. The family owned a pair of sawmills that had supplied railroad ties and bridge-building material for the construction of the Norfolk & Western Railfroad. When the railroad was completed the family started selling wood to furniture makers. Then J.D. Bassett and his brothers decided to form their own furniture company rather than ship raw material. The company earned $76,000 in revenue in its first year. By 1920, it was a $1 million company. Bassett furniture still exists today with the mission of making fine hand crafted furniture, and they are still based in Virginia.

DONDERO
In more than forty years, in Afghanistan war caused one and a half million victims, hundreds of thousands of injuried and mutilated people and four millions refugees. On the ground the heritage of the last wars is still visible: land mines and unexploded devices still mutilate children and adults, mainly civilians. EMERGENCY landed in Afghanistan in 1999 and during these last twenty years it has built a medical-surgical center in Kabul and a hospital in Laskhar-gah, in the Southern province of Helmand, in 2003. In EMERGENCY's surgical centers for civil victims, one in three beds is occupied by a child. In 2003 EMERGENCY opened a maternity center in Anabah, in Pashir Valley, because in this area maternal and child mortality rate is one of the highest in the world. After fifteen years of activity, the center has reached the goal of five thousands born children. All around the country EMERGENCY activated a network of forty-five first-aid points and health centers to guarantee early cures to sick patients and juried people and their eventual hospitalization. Since 2001 EMERGENCY has been involved in a health care program for the prisoners of the main jails in the country.
ABOUT MARIO DONDERO
Born in Geona, Mario Dondero was a young partisan in the Cesare Battisti della Val d'Ossola Brigade and took part to the liberation of Milan with the Sesta Garibaldi Brigade.
Reporter for the Avanti and L'Unità newspapers, after the war he decided to become a photojournalist thanks to his debut in the Le Ore magazine with Giuseppe Trevisani e Pasqualino Prunas. He was a member of Bar Giamaicadi Milano with Ugo Mulas, Alfa Castaldi, Carlo Bavagnoli, Giulia Niccolai and others. In 1954 he moved to France where he lived for forty years, working as press photographer for Nouvel Observateur, Le Monde, Jeune Afrique. He cooperated in the making of many movies and documentaries. As a long term reporter, he was a honorary member of the Compagnia Unica dei Portuali di Genova. He collaborated with EMERCENCY and a few years before his passing, in 2015, he realized an interesting reportage about EMERGENCY's health center in Palermo.

Allium Pinball Wizard
Like A. Globemaster, Pinball Wizard is a prized cross of A. macleanii and A. christophii. Standing about 10" shorter than Globemaster, Pinball Wizard has densely compacted silver glinted, lilac-purple globes that grow from 6" to 8" wide. Each globe is comprised of hundreds of tightly compacted, star-shaped florets that mature into garden sentries of dried seed pod orbs that are hauntingly beautiful. The color appears to change dramatically in low and high sunlight: from deeper purple to paler redddish-purple. It too is rabbit-, rodent- and deer-resistant, and adored by bees, butterflies and helpful pollinators. Bulb size: 20 cm/up. June. HZ: 5-7. Height: 24". We are very sorry, but due to state agricultural restrictions, we are not permitted to ship Allium bulbs to Idaho, or to the following five counties in the State of Washington: Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant and Klickitat.
Allium are The Art & Soul of Spring and Summer.
Allium Horticultural Tips
Available in units of 3 with volume discount pricing.
3 bulbs $22.25
24 bulbs $145.75
Your Total Price:
Latin for garlic, the Flowering Onions are available in diverse heights and sizes, are rabbit-, rodent- and deer-resistant, and are seldom affected by disease. Adored by bees, butterflies and pollinators, Allium extend the spring flowering season with bold, dramatic color and statuesque garden architecture. They are also valuable cut and dried flowers.
Allium require full sunlight although there are several varieties that can also thrive in partial sunlight: A. cowanii, oreophilum and siculum bulgaricum. Allium require rich, well-draining and neutral pH soil and benefit from a summer dry period. A. unifolium can handle soil with a bit more moisture. All Allium must be planted outdoors in the fall after the soil has cooled down to around 55°F (normally after two weeks of night time temperatures hovering around 40°F). While most Allium are not recommended for forcing over the winter, there are several varieties that are known to be good forcers: A. cowanii, karataviense and unifolium. Please note that flower size is presented as the width, or diameter, from left to right.
Plant the larger Allium bulbs 6" to 8" deep and 8" to 10" apart. Plant the smaller Allium bulbs 4" deep and 3" to 4" apart. Top size bulbs. Bloom time: May through August depending on the variety. Height: variable depending on the variety. Variable horticultural zones ranging from 3-10 depending on the variety.
We're very sorry, but due to state agricultural restrictions, we are not permitted to ship Allium bulbs to Idaho, or the following five counties in the State of Washington: Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant and Klickitat.
