Q: Is there a way to get around linux gnu-screen stuff character limit? I have a Minecraft server attached to a Screen in my linux server. I use Python to push data to the Minecraft server via Screen Stuff. I have noticed that if I put too many characters in screen stuff, it tends to not push the data into the screen.
For example, the following works just fine. It pushes the text to the Minecraft screen:
screen -r Minecraft -p0 -X stuff 'Some random text etc etc, contents are not relevant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^M'
Adding 100 or so more characters causes the contents to not be sent and no error messages are produced that I can tell:
screen -r Minecraft -p0 -X stuff 'Some random text etc etc, contents are not relevant-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^M'
This seems to suggest there is a character limit within screen's stuff command.
Assuming so, is there an alternative for this that would allow for more characters? I occasionally have extremely long commands to push to the screen that go above the 700-800ish character limit I am observing. Perhaps putting the text into a file and passing that along for the screen to run somehow?

A: Well, the man page does say stuff can't be used for large inputs:

stuff [string]
Stuff the string string in the input buffer of the current window.  This is like the "paste" command but with much less overhead.  [...] You cannot paste large buffers with the "stuff" command. It is most useful for key bindings.

But it does hint at paste:

paste [registers [dest_reg]]
Write the (concatenated) contents of the specified registers to the stdin queue of the current window. The register '.' is treated as the paste buffer.

readbuf [-e encoding] [filename]
Reads  the  contents of the specified file into the paste buffer.  [...]

I tried it by pasting the screen man page (2600 lines, 166 kB) to an editor:
screen -S test -X readbuf /tmp/screen.txt
screen -S test -X paste .

and got the identical file back after saving it, so it seems paste might work better. This does have the downside of requiring more than one command, though, and I don't know if it can be done without passing the data through a file.
In any case, I'm not sure if pasting data through screen is the best way to send commands to a running server, but I don't know if Minecraft provides other ways to send commands than stdin.
One solution which I've seen done with another game server is to redirect input to the server from a pipe, like
tail -f inputfile | ./whateverserver ...

and then, if you need to issue commands to it, run echo some command >> inputfile. This should work similarly to stuffing input with screen.
Note that any solution like this that stuffs commands automatically to a single input has the problem that unless you're careful, multiple commands being sent at the same time may get mixed up. Really, this would need locking.

A: I found a workaround. Simply sending the command in parts that are under the character limit seems to work. Here is my setup in Python:
def runServerCode(code):
    while len(code) > 600:
        os.system("screen -r Minecraft -p0 -X stuff '" + code[:600] + "'")
        code = code[600:]
    code += "^M"
    os.system("screen -r Minecraft -p0 -X stuff '" + code + "'")

The only issue I have had with this is that occasionally other information will be sent to the screen before this code can complete causing the pushed code to be split somewhere in the middle, causing it not to run properly.

US Congressman Rohrabacher brands Pakistan as "hard-core, two-faced enemy" of America
Islamabad , Sat, 25 Feb 2012 ANI
Islamabad, Feb 25 (ANI): US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who had tabled the Balochistan resolution in the US House of Representatives earlier this month, has branded Pakistan as "hard-core, two-faced enemies of the United States," and "not fragile friends".
He said that the issue was ignored by the US only to please Pakistan.
"It's one of those issues that's been ignored as to not upset the Pakistanis because they are fragile friends. Well, they're not fragile friends, they are hard-core, two-faced enemies of the United States," The News quoted Rohrabacher, as saying.
"The purpose of the resolution was to create a much-needed dialogue about Pakistan and Balochistan, and that's what it's done, so that's very nice. It's important to get over that phase where people are going ballistic and start getting serious discussion about an issue that's been ignored, but shouldn't be ignored," he added.
He further said the discovery that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani military town of Abbottabad motivated him to table the Balochistan resolution.
"What made me really determined to get involved to the point where I was willing to author resolutions like this was when Osama bin Laden was discovered in an area, which made it clear that Pakistanis had for eight years taken billions in U.S. foreign aid while giving safe haven to the monster that slaughtered 3,000 Americans on 9/11. At that point I felt, no more walking on egg shells around Pakistan."
"I can see why the prime minister of Pakistan wouldn't fully understand why people in various countries-especially elected officials-are free to comment on any policies they see fit in any country they see fit. That's what freedom is all about, but perhaps that's why they don't understand it," Rohrabacher added. (ANI)

Series: The Azadi Trilogy Genre: Historical Fiction
READ AN EXCERPT.
Doctor Margaret in Delhi is Book 2 of The Azadi Series and a sequel to, Book 1: Doctor Margaret's Sea Chest. This historical fiction novel continues with Margaret's journey from the time she and her Canadian husband participated in the 1854 Crimean War.
Doctor Margaret travels alone to India to be with her parents at the American Presbyterian Mission at Futtehgurh, and then on to her posting at a hospital in Delhi. There she has to not only overcome work pressures, but also deal with her intimidators and intrigues of the Mughals, at the Delhi Red Fort.
Margaret's tormenter since her childhood, Captain Albert, also joins a British regiment bound for service in India. The Russian, Captain Count Nicholai, whom Margaret had met in Crimea, also arrives in India under the guise of a French physician. The events leading up to the Indian Mutiny/Rebellion that breaks out in 1857 profoundly affect not only Margaret's life, but also of those who love her and others' who wish her harm. Also, mixed-up in the bedlam is one of the Delhi King, Shah Zafar's, Red Fort's Guards sepoys, Sharif Khan Bhadur, the grandfather of Doctor Wallidad, an American doctor.
The Azadi Series covers the exciting events and turmoil that enflamed India from 1857 to 1947, and led to her independence. Those incidences engulf the characters of this story at that time, and then later their descendant's lives, again in the 1960s.
Praise for Doctor Margaret in Delhi
"Excellent historical fictional setting, voice and tone. Not my normal reading diet, but your voice is compelling. Overall impression: it seems to be a novel one may settle into and relax for a delightful journey–(Spoiler alert) with a cobra and lots of new Indian vocabulary in store. Interesting bit about Robert Clive and the East India Company. Seems it's a story that should be told." – J.T.Bleu

Christian giant sued for 'using nanny as sex object'
Lawsuit claims religious leader promised to marry young woman after wife dies
By Chelsea Schilling
Published April 15, 2014 at 10:19am
Former Vision Forum Ministries President Doug Phillips
(Warning: This story contains explicit descriptions of alleged sexual conduct described in a lawsuit and may be offensive to some readers.)
The former leader of a popular Christian ministry – who resigned from his position after confessing to an "inappropriate" relationship – is now the subject of a lawsuit that claims he "methodically groomed" and made unwanted sexual contact with a young woman after serving as an authority figure in her life for more than a decade.
Doug Phillips, a husband and father of eight children, had been a popular and controversial figure in the homeschooling movement and a leading advocate of "biblical patriarchy" before his resignation from Vision Forum Ministries and Boerne Christian Assembly, a Baptist church outside San Antonio, Texas, at which he had served as an elder and preached hundreds of sermons.
Phillips was also founder of the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival and of the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches.

According to the teachings of the patriarchy movement, also known as the stay-at-home daughters or quiverfull movement, young women remain at home under the protection of their fathers. They're generally expected not to work outside their home or go to college, and they're taught to abide by strict gender roles in which men have authority over women.
'A personal sex object'
Lourdes Torres and Doug Phillips
In the complaint filed in Kendall County District Court in Texas Tuesday morning, Phillips is accused of using a woman named Lourdes Torres, now 29, as "a personal sex object" over a period of five years.
Asked if she ever believed she loved Phillips, Torres, who was over the age of 21 at the time of the sexual contact, told WND, "Oh, yes, definitely."
Torres said she met Phillips and his wife, Beall, at a homeschooling conference in November 1999 when Torres was 15 years old. Torres spent many hours in the Phillips home, cared for their children and helped run the family farm. She was invited on trips with the family to Hawaii, Virginia, Mexico, Florida and other states.
By 2007, according to the complaint, Phillips began "to pay special attention" to Torres, complementing her beauty and devotion to his family, giving her money, touching her, asking her personal questions about her thoughts and life plans and telling her he would take care of her.
By October of that year, the lawsuit states, Phillips invited Torres' family to live with him as they were moving into a new home: "Phillips entered [Torres'] bedroom and without her consent began touching her breasts, stomach, back, neck, and waist." Torres alleges she began to cry and ask Phillips to stop as he rubbed his genitals on her and "masturbated and ejaculated on her." She claims the behavior continued, and Phillips told her he loved her and intended to marry her and "blatantly disregarded her requests" that he stop.
Lourdes Torres
"Douglas Phillips, on the evenings he visited Ms. Torres, persuaded her that he was not doing anything wrong, that he intended to marry Ms. Torres, and that his wife would die shortly and enable him to marry Ms. Torres," the complaint states. "He further repeatedly told Ms. Torres that he loved her, that he would take care of her, and that what they were doing was not wrong. He also stated that if it was wrong, it was completely her fault."
Attorney Jason Jakob, who represents Phillips and Vision Forum, Inc., issued a statement to WND on behalf of his client, claiming, "To date, a media campaign has been architected to destroy and demoralize Doug Phillips, his family and his message, without justification and instead with conjecture and disinformation."
He said Torres' allegations are "false, defamatory and made with malicious intent to destroy Doug Phillips, his family and his ministry." Concerning the relationship between Torres and Phillips, he wrote:
"While it may be true that Mr. Phillips had an intermittent relationship with Mrs. Lourdes Torres-Manteufel, they never had the physical intimacy of touching and/or the exposure of genitalia, nor did the intermittent relationship escalate to sexual intercourse. Furthermore, the evidence demonstrates the relationship was consensual and often initiated, encouraged, and aggressively perpetuated by Mrs. Torres-Manteufel. It was welcomed, consensual and one in which Mrs. Torres-Manteufel repeatedly requested money, trips, jewelry, and numerous special favors from Doug Phillips. This relationship occurred well after Mrs. Lourdes Torres-Manteufel reached the age of majority, as has been confirmed by Mrs. Torres-Manteufel to have begun at the close of 2007."
In the following video, Doug Phillips can be seen in the Dulles airport in Virginia with his family and others as they wait for their flight to Rome. Torres appears at the 4:10 mark:
By the beginning of 2008, Torres said she was no longer invited to the Phillips' home to help with the children and household chores. She said he continued to contact her, asking her to help him with his business, take photographs at Vision Forum events, visit his home to work on a radio drama series and judge movie competitions.
"He also began texting, calling, and emailing her about his daily activities, his hopes and dreams, and often including in his communication his love for [Torres] and his intent to marry her," the filing states. "[Torres] – not wanting to disappoint the man that controlled every facet of her life – was manipulated to serve Defendant Doug Phillips in his business endeavors between years of 2008-2012."
Torres alleges the unwanted sexual contact began again, and she said she repeatedly asked him to stop.
"Ms. Torres did not tell anyone about [Phillips'] conduct because he manipulated her into believing that it would ruin his reputation, destroy his ministry and get her in trouble with the church," according to the lawsuit.
Torres' attorney, David Gibbs, told WND, "Because of Doug's position of trust, Lourdes had no ability to consent. When you look at the absolute control that that man had in her life, he was her pastor, he was her teacher, he was her employer, he was her patriarchal head of the home. In a sense, he was her counselor. Doug established the system where obedience to God required Lourdes to obey him and fully submit to whatever he wanted to do."
But Phillips' attorney responded, "In no way did Mr. Doug Phillips use his position to 'manipulate, brainwash and [or] coerce' her as alleged by Mrs. Torres-Manteufel. Mr. Phillips was an elder in the church she attended, but he was not her personal pastor, counselor, or ever her landlord. It is now evident that Mrs. Torres-Manteufel's intent is to seek financial benefit and/or personal gain."
Jakob questioned "her credibility and motives for bringing forth these claims in the media rather than the courts," claiming she has offered "conflicting and contradictory accounts to many individuals in her community."
He said, "What has been confirmed is that her initial claims were wildly exaggerated and have often changed to such an extent as to raise great question to her credibility and motives for making the initial claims from the onset."
Doug and Beall Phillips with Lourdes Torres
A consensual relationship between adults?
Gibbs said this was not a sexual affair between two consenting adults.
"This is someone who took all of those positions, all that trust, and in an abusive manner, irreparably injured my client," he said. "Lourdes is an intelligent woman, but she was being perpetually promised things that Doug never intended to do, or at least, if he did intend to do it, he didn't do.
"In that patriarchal quiverfull culture, the ultimate and the highest ideal is then becoming married. What Doug did as the leader of the movement was take the ultimate ideal and perpetually promise that fraudulently to Lourdes to manipulate and control her to do things that she would otherwise not have done."
By the end of 2012, Torres stopped working with Phillips and attending his church. She told her parents and a friend about the relationship.
Though Phillips resigned from his position as an elder of Boerne Christian Assembly in January 2013, claiming he wished to devote more time to his family, it would be nearly nine months before Phillips would resign from Vision Forum Ministries.
Torres said she had received threatening emails around August 2013 from Phillips' wife, Beall, saying she "had better keep her mouth shut" about the interactions. When asked about the email, Phillips' attorney didn't respond to the allegation.
In his Oct. 30, 2013, resignation statement posted on Vision Forum's website, Phillips said, "There has been serious sin in my life for which God has graciously brought me to repentance. I have confessed my sin to my wife and family, my local church, and the board of Vision Forum Ministries. I engaged in a lengthy, inappropriate relationship with a woman. While we did not 'know' each other in a Biblical sense, it was nevertheless inappropriately romantic and affectionate."
Three days later, Phillips added a clarification to his statement, which included the following: "Some reading the words of my resignation have questioned if there was an inappropriate physical component with an unmarried woman. There was, and it was intermittent over a period of years."
Upon reading Phillips' resignation statement, Torres said, "I had no doubt or question that he would never own up to anything that he has done. He never had before. He was actually backed into a corner to do that because I had opened my mouth in the first place to the right people."
Phillips' attorney, Jakob, said, "Mr. Phillips resigned voluntarily out of personal choice – after much prayer and counsel. His silence should not be misconstrued as an admission of any kind but instead as a desire for privacy. Mr. Phillips' resignation letter was made as a servant of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to preserve the integrity of his family and that of the Message of Christ which was received by and through his ministry."
Torres says she still has anxiety that Phillips will contact her and that she's been forced to leave her home and many friends behind. She is now being counseled through her trauma.
Asked if she believes the same abuse could happen to another young lady in the patriarchy movement, Torres, responded, "Yes, definitely without question."
Phillips had headed up the nonprofit ministry, which generated about $3.3 million in revenue in 2011 and paid Phillips a salary of $44,000 a year. In 2011, the nonprofit ministry also gave $193,176 for "labor and services" to the for-profit company Phillips founded 15 years ago, Vision Forum Inc., which sold books, toys and teaching resources. Vision Forum Inc. no longer sells products on its website, but Phillips retains control of the company. Both the nonprofit ministry and the for-profit company are named as defendants in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims Vision Forum Ministries' board was made aware of Phillips' behavior in January or February of 2013, but continued to keep Phillips in the highest position of leadership until "it was apparent that Phillips' behavior toward Ms. Torres could no longer remain confidential." Also, it states that the board strategized "how it could bring Phillips to a place where he could make a 'comeback' and regain public leadership of the ministry."
Doug Phillips
'Tenets of Biblical Patriarchy'
In its posting titled, "The Tenets of Biblical Patriarchy," which has since been removed since Phillips' 2013 resignation, the Vision Forum Ministries website explained, "Since the woman was created as a helper to her husband, as the bearer of children, and as a 'keeper at home,' the God-ordained and proper sphere of dominion for a wife is the household and that which is connected with the home, although her domestic calling, as a representative of and helper to her husband, may well involve activity in the marketplace and larger community. …
"While unmarried women may have more flexibility in applying the principle that women were created for a domestic calling, it is not the ordinary and fitting role of women to work alongside men as their functional equals in public spheres of dominion (industry, commerce, civil government, the military, etc.). The exceptional circumstance (singleness) ought not redefine the ordinary, God-ordained social roles of men and women as created."
Phillips has called "the problem of women in the military" "an abomination" and condemned the "breakdown of moral discipline and the rampant problem of promiscuity and adultery between American male and female soldiers stationed together overseas."
He spoke at Torres' graduation and posted the following entry on the Vision Forum website, speaking highly of Torres' character and rejoicing in her "journey of mature Christian womanhood":
Torres made an appearance in the 2007 film, "The Return of the Daughters," which focuses on how a woman spends her "in between years" from the time she is in the home until she gets married.
It explores the lives of "unique young women who are rejecting the unloving demands of modern culture" and emphasizes "drawing close to family members, living productive lives in their father's home until marriage." The movement, according to the film, seeks to prepare women to be "helpmeets" for their husbands, "submit to a man" and be a man's "Proverbs 31 woman."
As the film explains, "Lourdes and her family have earned a widespread reputation in the San Antonio area as invaluable assets to the community. Many unmarried girls like Lourdes have been able to make the same kind of investments in their communities and are becoming known nationwide as the secret weapon of the church. In addition to missions work with her family, Lourdes cares for the sick, visits the needy, helps young mothers, encourages the elderly and disciples younger girls."
Torres, then around 23 years old, tells viewers, "I want to encourage the young ladies in our church, in the spirit of Titus 2, I want to encourage them to obey their parents. I want to exhort them in the various things that they as daughters need to be doing in their home and with their family and their siblings."
She continues, "Even though I'm not married, I would not call myself single because I'm part of a family unit. I'm so grateful for my father because he finds things for me to do to serve the Lord and to work for him. And I always feel like my life is full of purpose and I'm not sitting around, waiting. I'm an unmarried young lady, but I'm serving God and my father. Then that will transition one day if God wills. I'm very grateful and satisfied with that.
"I realize that my lifestyle is counter-cultural, and I don't care because God's word is my standard, and that's what drives me, not the culture around me."
Homeschool movement and Christian ministry
Michael Farris
Before Phillips founded Vision Forum, he spent six years as an attorney for the Home School Legal Defense Association, or HSLDA, a nonprofit advocacy organization that defends the right of American families to homeschool their children.
HSLDA Chairman Michael Farris told WND, "The reason Doug left HSLDA is because [President] Mike Smith and I, who were his bosses, were growing more and more uncomfortable as he started developing his patriarchy theory. We started limiting his ability to speak on those things while traveling on our behalf. We basically made it clear that he could not pursue those things with his HSLDA hat on. So he eventually chose to leave us so he could do those things because we were not comfortable with where he was headed."
As for the patriarchy movement, Farris said the teachings are not widely accepted in the broader homeschool community.
"It's a minority of homeschoolers that believe in it," he said. "But unfortunately, until very recently, they were getting a lot of visibility in certain places. We have sought to avoid inviting any patriarchy speakers to speak at our national conference."
While state homeschool organizations run their own events and may choose to have such speakers, Farris said HSLDA has never promoted them.
"Doug has never been invited to speak at our national conference since he left," Farris said. "We have tried, by example, to keep this stuff outside the mainstream of the homeschooling movement."
He added, "Frankly, we think it's time for us to stand up and publicly say this is just wrong."
Farris, who said he has known Phillips for two decades, expressed concern that Phillips could re-emerge in the homeschooling movement and as a leader in a Christian ministry.
"I think it would be one of the greatest tragedies for the homeschooling movement if Doug Phillips was allowed to be rehabilitated and go right back into leadership," he said. "This kind of behavior is so bizarre – no matter which version of the story you believe, even if you take Doug's own version of the story – it's so bizarre and inappropriate that he needs to get his life in order and not be thinking about how quickly he can come back into leadership."
Farris added, "Knowing Doug for 20 years, I'm confident he's going to try to come back quickly. I'm also confident that would be an absolutely horrible outcome if he does."
WND asked Phillips' attorney, "Does Mr. Phillips ever plan to return to serve the Vision Forum Ministries nonprofit or further the patriarchal movement through his company, Vision Forum Inc., in the future?" However, WND wasn't given a response to that specific question.
Others who knew him continue to wonder if Phillips will return to his previous work.
While Gibbs said he's unsure of Phillips plans today, he added, "From our vantage point, there's no question that the original plan was to let Doug take a little time off and then go back into being the leader of [the Vision Forum Ministries'] movement and continue moving forward in public ministry."
Asked for her thoughts on whether Phillips might come back, Torres told WND, "I don't even want to think about it."
Starting a new life
Even after everything she says she's endured, Torres told WND her faith hasn't been shaken.
"I am so humbled by how God has really just directed my every step because I feel like I've been walking on water," she said. "I've had to make choices and decisions like an adult. I realized I needed to get a job and make sure that I can provide basic needs and bills. God has totally provided for that and given me opportunities."
Gibbs said when he met Torres, she was afraid to leave her church because she feared retribution and was concerned for her own safety.
"I have watched her have to make some very difficult decisions because coming out of that culture – where they did not want her to speak, to be educated, to make decisions, to be self-reliant – leaving the church was a huge step," he said. "She has broken away from the religious ideology. But I would add that she continues in some pretty intensive counseling and also is learning a lot about herself. You don't live in this culture for 10 to 15 years and escape unscathed."
On April 11 of this year, Torres married Nolan Manteufel, a man who had also left the church and who is supporting her through difficult times.
"Even now, I'm currently looking for a different job and praying about what else is in the future because I might be willing to do a lot more, like maybe even going to school," Torres said. "But we'll see. I'm excited about having a new life. I just got married. There are possibilities, and it's exciting."
As for the lawsuit, Jakob indicated Phillips intends to sort out the matter in court.
He wrote, "In the absence of any serious interest from Mrs. Torres-Manteufel for Christian conciliation, and rather than trying the case through the media we intend to rely on justice through the courts for our clients' vindication."
Concerning the lawsuit, Torres told WND, "I just know it's what the Lord wants, and I'm ready to move forward with it."
In telling her story, Torres hopes to inspire any girl, wife or family in similar situations to find the courage to escape and discover freedom, rather than continuing to suffer at the hands of an abuser.
"Lourdes had the choice to either retreat quietly and kind of disappear and recover, or she could make the decision to go public and try to help others," Gibbs said of Torres' decision to tell her story.
"I really admire her decision to step forward – not trying to hide her identity – but to step forward and tell her story and let people know there is hope, and they don't have to live under that oppressive type of abuse."

Film Critic & Festival Director, Jagran Film Festival, Mayank Shekhar also announced the opening film for JFF- the much awaited, Lady Gaga's A Star is Born. The event began with a passionate session spearheaded by Mayank Shekhar with well renowned director Rohit Shetty who gave helpful pointers on 'How to be the Audience's BFF (Best Friend Forever),' something most aspiring filmmakers strive to do.
"I always keep the mass appeal in mind. I'm happy when my audience is happy. That gives me a high. To understand what will work, you need to observe and spend time with the audience, trust your instinct and delve deep into the history of cinema, that's the only way you will be brave enough to create something great."
Cinematic effects are one of the key factors that influence an audience's ability to connect and relate with a piece of art they are viewing. With the role of cinematography becoming increasingly important in any production, Rajeev Kumar and Danny Wilson from Dhrishyam VFX showcased an insightful presentation on 'How Effects Make Cinema Special'.
"Not only does VFX need talent, but also imagination. This is the only industry that doesn't need education parameters to apply for the job. The rising digital market has opened new avenues. Now, it's not only about cinema and TV, but also the web! With this extended TV, digital and film market, there's a huge potential to nourish content to be more visually presentable with VFX. It's also important to be connected with the director during the script phase. Even if the director is not a fan of the effects, VFX can also build set designs, giving the director what he wants without sacrificing on quality."
Gracing the audience with his magnanimous personality and witty charm, Abhishek Bachchan presented his views on 'The Evolving Idea of the Bollywood Star'.
"When I decided to take a sabbatical, I knew it was what I had to do for my career. My father thought it was the biggest mistake he made when he did the same thing. I think times were different then. In those days, he felt like he had lost touch with what the audience wanted. Suddenly from the angry young man, people revered the romantic NRI hero. He felt he had lost touch. But now, you're a lot more accessible. I was very sure how I would execute this plan of mine. Today, with social media it's very easy to stay abreast with what's going on so I was sure I wouldn't lose touch. I just needed to recalibrate how I was doing the work, not the work I was doing. I was confident about the person I aimed to become. Life and filmmaking isn't meant to be easy. It's important to be challenged on a daily basis."
A riveting panel discussion headed by Mayank Shekhar had Vikramaditya Motwane, Vivaan Shah, Vijay Singh, Nandita Das, Dinesh Vinjan, Devang Sampath and Tanveer Bookwala delving into the ultimate debate "Will cinema survive?"
The panelists weighed in sharing their beliefs that film content and exhibition is here to stay and one would be foolish to ignore digital discontinuity – not just in the movie business, but also the platform business. Vijay Singh gave an analogy of how hotels haven't shut down because of Airbnb, it's just the business model that has changed and one had to merely adapt to the way industries evolve. The kind of content that is produced has to be tailored to what resonates better with OTT platforms or theatres but the overall business is definitely here to stay.
Subsequently, Vikramaditya Motwane shared his views by stating that while directors love the cinematic experience, it's more about getting the audience to watch it. According to him, movies in theatres would always be large screen entertainers whereas every other nuanced bit will be on OTT platforms and there's nothing wrong with that. In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that cinema, certainly isn't dead.
As the summit drew to a close, Chaitanya Chinchlikar (Business Head and Chief Technology Officer, Whistling Woods, VR Lab) took everyone on a journey through the history of VR and gave a presentation on the 'Way Forward For Cinematic Virtual Reality'. He showcased how over the ages, there has been an exponential increase in diversity, richness, opportunity and quality of life in media and entertainment. From the Stone Age, he introduced everyone to the immersive age as he addressed the problems that need to be solved when it comes to VR and displayed effective VR content guidelines to follow while creating the magic of cinematic virtual reality.


Brilliant video, Thomas! I love the fact you included a demonstration with your SDRplay RSP1A as well. Via the spectrum display, it's easy to see the the loop's bandwidth and also the gain it provides when tuned to a station.
I love your AM loop antenna as well–such a simple design and ideal for demonstrating the mechanics of a passive loop antenna since all of the components are visible. I'm willing to bet you built this antenna for less than $10. Smart design as it's both portable and effective! Keep up the excellent work, Thomas! We look forward to all of your future videos.

That is, indeed, a brilliant and simple mod. The SRF-59 inductively couples to the loop antenna, so no soldering is needed; simply tape the belt clip to the loop, making sure the position is convenient for tuning the SRF-59 and the loop's capacitor.

(Cochrane, AB) – Following presentations, public engagement, information sessions and deliberations, Cochrane Council adopted the 2023-2025 operating and capital budgets.
The budget delivers on Council's Strategic Plan, reflects community feedback, and recognizes the inflationary cost associated with providing services and delivering on capital projects.
"As a Council, we passed a budget that provides a path forward, building on Cochrane's strengths while addressing some very real challenges," said Mayor Jeff Genung. "The Strategic Plan set a clear vision for the future of Cochrane, and this budget helps to ensure that we deliver on that vision, while recognizing our economic realities."
The budget includes a three-year operating forecast outlining a path to sustainable service delivery and a 10-year capital plan that contains a number of critical infrastructures investments. It balances the pressure of inflation and growth with the important work initiated last year to create a resilient and capable organization.
The budget includes a 2023 operating budget of $74.3 million and a $86 million capital budget for 2023-2025. Through direction received from Council, Administration reduced the initial draft budget from a proposed 7.6% tax increase to a 3.7% tax increase for 2023 – an increase of $7.67 per month for the average household. The 2022 surplus was used to smooth inflationary pressures, which will need to be accounted for in future years.
Currently, Cochrane has one of the lowest operating expenditures per dwelling unit in Alberta. The increase reflects several uncontrollable cost increases such as pre-bargained union staff increases, a decrease in provincial government grants and the increased cost of RCMP services as a result of the federal government union negotiations. It also reflects significant increases in inflationary costs related to the procurement of goods and services, fuel costs required to operate municipal equipment, and utility costs to heat and power facilities.
The capital budget reflects the continued investment in our community, with a significant focus on transportation and utility-related infrastructure. This includes Phase 3 and 4 of the Centre Avenue Improvements, wastewater pipeline twinning and Quigley Drive upgrades.
Specific tax rate impacts will vary by property type depending on the assessed value of a home or business, as well as next year's provincial education property tax rate, which will be finalized in the first half of 2023.

or, Garment-making for the poor.
Christian Friend, vol. 8, 1881, p. 22.
Tabitha, or rather Dorcas, has obtained a most unlooked-for notoriety. Almost every church and chapel boast of their "Dorcas Societies;" and "Dorcas" meetings are becoming well known even to those believers who are in professed separation from human systems and organizations. The aim, both in the one and the other, is laudable; and, doubtless, even if the objects of such charity are often not well chosen, the sufferings of many are thus alleviated. Without the slightest intention, therefore, of discouraging such efforts, it may still be well to examine a little the history of Dorcas, and to enquire what instruction therefrom the Spirit of God intended us to apprehend.
It is to be remarked, in the first place, that her activity was not confined to clothing the naked. "This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." (v. 36.) This is a wonderful epitaph for a saint of God, and with this remarkable distinction from many such epitaphs written by men, that it was recorded by the unerring pen of the Holy Ghost. Her good works - were therefore good works — such as God had before prepared that she should walk in them (Eph. 2:10), and such, on this account, as could only have been produced in the energy of the Spirit of God. It is profitable to remind ourselves of what is really good works; for while we have been taught the danger of restless activity and occupation with service, and have been led to admire, and to desire to possess, the good part which Mary chose (Luke 10:42), we would also remember the words of St. Paul: "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men." (Titus 3:8.) Philanthropic efforts of many kinds are often dignified with the title of "good works," and are thus calculated to deceive many a simple soul; but. good works, those that are such before God, can only flow from the power of the Holy Ghost, and therefore in accordance with His mind and will. They can thus be wrought only by believers, and only by believers as actuated by divine power, and in subjection to the word of God. "The coats and garments which Dorcas made" (v. 39) were of this class by an infallible verdict.
The "almsdeeds" of Dorcas are recorded as well as her good works; and from the usage of the word (see Matt. 6:1, 2, 34; Luke 11:41, 12:33; Acts 3:2, 3, 10; Acts 10:2, 4) there is no reason to doubt that these consisted in the ministration of money or food to those that were in need. The apostle, writing to Timothy, says, "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate" (there is no foundation whatever for the marginal rendering — "sociable"); "laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal" (rather, on that which is really) "life." (1 Tim. 6:17-19.) Dorcas was thus in the spirit of this exhortation. She was rich in good works, and she was ready to distribute, willing to communicate of her substance; for she had learned "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might be rich" (2 Cor. 8:9); and by that same grace she had become His representative in the world. She was a giver, because God, who had brought her to Himself, was a Giver. Knowing therefore that she was not her own, and that whatever she possessed she held only as a steward for Him, to whom she belonged, she placed both herself and her substance at His disposal, and served with both according to His will.
It is thus clear that Dorcas had the mind of God in the special work to which she was devoted. And indeed what service could be more blessed than to clothe the naked and feed the hungry? The Lord Himself, in the judgment of the living nations, when He shall sit on the throne of His glory, specifies these things services rendered to Himself in the person of His "brethren." He says, "I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat . . . naked, and ye clothed me." (Matt. 25:35, 36.) This, as He explains, done unto one of the least of His brethren, was done to Himself. How unspeakable then the privilege to feed and clothe Christ in the person of one of His members. It is what He has done for us; for the apostle says, "For in this (our tabernacle-house) we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked" (that is, without Christ). (2 Cor. 5:2, 3.) To clothe the naked and to feed the hungry — and He Himself is our food (John 6) — is consequently to act in His own spirit — the existence of the need drawing forth the affections of Christ from the hearts of His people.
A distinct lesson or two for our own guidance may be profitably collected from the whole history, confining ourselves now to that which is specially mentioned — making the coats and the garments.
First, it should be observed that the work of Dorcas was individual. There is not the slightest trace of any association with others. Evidently it was the special service to which the Lord had called her, and to which she willingly yielded herself. Her example cannot, therefore, be cited for anything beyond her individual line of service. Nothing is more blessed in Christian activity than fellowship - fellowship in the Lord. But the great danger of a day like this is association - association with others to obtain an object through the energy of co-operation rather than in the power of the Spirit. Satan often succeeds in this way in arresting even what might have been at the outset the action of the Spirit of God. Thus the Lord has laid some special thought of service upon the heart of one of His people; and instead of going forth to its accomplishment in the power of Him who has called to it, the effort is often made to associate others with it, or even to form a society for the end in view, and immediately the service, even if outwardly prosperous, is on the road to failure. Moses may well be a warning to us on this head. He complained to the Lord that the burden of the people was too heavy for him. The Lord permitted him to have seventy associates; but He took of the Spirit that was on Moses, and put it on them. (Num. 11:11-17.) Not only was there no gain of power by the association, but enormous loss by the importation henceforward of seventy judgments into every question that had to be decided. No; service is intensely individual; for every servant is individually responsible to the Lord, even in garment-making, and hence cannot afford to subordinate his convictions to those of another, or to seek to walk upon the level (be it higher or lower) of another's faith.
Secondly, this history affords distinct guidance for sisters as to the occupation of their leisure time in their homes, or at least for such as have the means to purchase materials, and capacity to use the needle or the sewing-machine. It is to be noted very especially, that if Dorcas spent any of her time in fancy-work (and we by no means contend that she had not liberty to do so), the results of her labour in such a direction are not mentioned. This will surely be significant to every spiritual mind. It is "the coats and the garments" only that find a place in the word of God — teaching, at least this much, that it is labours of this kind that command the Lord's approbation. This is plain from the fact that Dorcas was raised to life again. Her loss was so keenly felt by the disciples that they sent for Peter, "desiring that he would not delay to come to them." The apostle went, and was permitted to restore her to life; and "when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive." (v. 41.) Thus the Lord interposed at the cry of His people, and comforted their hearts.
A last instruction may be added — one already obvious from what has been said — viz., that the work of Dorcas was for cases of need. There is some danger, if not watchful, of seeking to gratify ourselves in ministry of a Dorcas character; of expending our efforts upon selected cases, of choosing such as commend themselves to us in one way or another, so that it will often happen that the needs of some of the poor saints are abundantly met, while those of others are almost entirely overlooked. The antidote is to have Christ Himself before us as the object of our ministry, only remembering that, as it was not our merit, but our necessities, that drew forth His heart in service for us, so likewise the only incentive to our loving ministry to His own should be their needs. In other words, all our service must be drawn forth by the constraining love of Christ; for it is possible to bestow all our goods to feed the poor and yet to be without divine charity (1 Cor. 13), and hence without any promptings of the heart of Christ. Christ, therefore, must be the motive; Christ must be the object, and Christ must be expressed in all our service. E. D.

Are you Mentally Prepared to Face the Courtroom?
You are here: Home / ERDI Blog / Are you Mentally Prepared to Face the Courtroom?
Long after the dive concludes and the equipment has been stowed, the logs and reports filed, and post-dive briefings performed, emergency response divers will often find themselves yet again facing the ominous specter of the dive mission. Divers and surface support will be faced with recalling even the most minuscule of facts and somehow conveying that information to individuals who do not speak the same language they do. However, with a little preparation and understanding of the legal arena divers may put their minds at ease and embrace this opportunity to show their level of professionalism, desire to further aid and assist their communities, and round out their experiential learning in the realm of emergency response diving.
Most emergency response diving operations encompass evidentiary recovery which has been involved in some form of illicit criminal activity. As such, the dive operation is merely the beginning of a lengthy process that will undoubtedly deliver the fruits of the dive to the courtroom setting. The question is, Are you mentally prepared to face the courtroom and present yourself and actions in that arena? With a little understanding and preparation, divers can become more familiar with how the court operates and their vital role in legal proceedings. While this seems simple, there are certain protocols which need to be followed, protocols which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Emergency response diving plays a crucial role in criminal investigations and is an invaluable tool to individuals tasked with investigating criminal incidents and complaints. Performing underwater searches, locating sunken items, mapping and documenting the underwater crime scene and finally performing demanding evidentiary recoveries are all crucial to understanding the mechanics, and often the psychology, of what took place during the crime in question. It should always be the intent of the dive team to not only perform successful recoveries but also be mindful that there will be a future need to properly articulate these actions and tasks in a legal proceeding.
Understanding this concept will aid divers in becoming acutely aware of the solemn responsibilities they are tasked with. Any potential "hiccup" may be easily mitigated and managed with preparation and understanding of the legal arena and how it operates. Emergency response divers do not need to have trepidation regarding offering testimony nor fear standing in the presence of the court. In fact, everyone should welcome the opportunity to be a part of the mechanism which helps make their community safer and more inviting for families and children, the elderly and like. Most seasoned investigators experienced the same foreboding until they understood the basics of what was required and how to meet those standards to the highest of their abilities.
In order to prepare for the legal setting, divers should begin weeks and even months in advance. Simple preparation and planning can make the world of difference between successful testimony or failing to convey thoroughly and accurately all of the efforts placed into performing a successful recovery. Further, preparation can aid in alleviating stress and make the experience worthwhile for personal education and skills development. Emergency Response Diving International has prepared comprehensive training to aid in this endeavor with its Preparing for and Testifying in Court training program.
When preparing for court, individuals should seek a pre-trial conference with the District Attorney or Solicitor assigned to prosecute the case. Setting up a meeting with this individual will assist you in knowing what they expect from you, the questions they intend to ask and the information they will need conveyed to the judge or jury. In addition, it allows you to begin an open dialogue about what you and the team actually performed during the dive mission. Scheduling a meeting should be done weeks in advance so that divers can successfully pull and study their reports, notes, photographs and dive information for the purpose of recalling the facts associated with the incident.
It is important to note that the district attorney or solicitor is there to represent the state and they rely on the testimony of dedicated professionals to accomplish successful prosecution. Most attorneys do not have a background in law enforcement or evidence handling, and divers need to understand that they do not speak the same language the divers do. As such, divers will need to explain the steps performed on a level and in a manner that is easily comprehended by any lay individual. It is important that everyone who hears your testimony understands fully what had occurred and what you actually performed.
In addition to meeting with the state's legal representative, dive team individuals are encouraged to schedule a tour of the courtroom setting. For some individuals, this can seem like an imposing building, full of rooms, tables, legal personnel and the like. However, for those individuals who have never had the honor of testifying, a tour allows the individual(s) to learn crucial information about how to prepare for the day of trial: Where to park, how early should they arrive, how do they check in and out of the courtroom or building, if applicable, who should they report to? All of these are crucial in making a good appearance as well as easing the individual's mind on the day they are scheduled to testify.
Other aspects which need to be considered include: where are witnessed supposed to be located to avoid accidentally encountering potential jurors and even where the restrooms are located. Understanding the layout of the building and where people are supposed to make navigating the hallways more enjoyable and stress-free.
Throughout the preparation process, divers should maintain contact with the state's legal representative or designee. This will allow divers the ability to continue the open dialogue, which began during the pretrial meeting and further allow divers to become aware of any changes in scheduling, witness orders of testifying and issues which periodically arise.
Upon the day of appearance, divers should get a restful night's sleep and arrive at the courthouse early. Having previously prepared where to go and whom they are to meet will make the experience easier. Divers should have with them their full dive log and report of the incident, in the event they may need to refresh their memory. Once at the courthouse they need to report to the location and person who will assist them through that day's process.
When individuals are called to testify, it is important that they follow the instructions of the court representative regarding where to stand, sit, how to take an oath or affirmation and whom to address. Divers should have previously been informed of this during their tour of the facility. However, periodically some adjustments must be made to accommodate other needs within the court setting.
From that point forward, divers are the stars of the show. In reality, they are the people to whom everyone is waiting to hear. There are several experts and allusions that state that approximately 60%+ of an individual's credibility is based on how he or she appears when speaking. As such, divers should remain calm, relaxed and actively engaged in delivering honest responses to the questions being asked. It is important to note that, depending on the legal setting, the attorneys will be the ones asking the questions. However, it is the judge and/or jury that needs to hear and understand the response. After all, they will be the ones making the final decisions. As such, it is recommended that divers always answer to those individuals directly. It is recommended that you make good eye contact and answer honestly.
Understanding that the individuals impaneled in the jury are simply people, just like you, makes responding to them easier. Consider they are your coworkers, neighbors, church members, teachers, etc.
In the event that there are legal challenges: brief meetings between the judge and attorneys, motions and objections, divers should maintain their level of professionalism and calm and wait until they are further directed by the judge or district attorney. Delivering testimony is as simple as having a conversation. Diver should not dread the opportunity or setting but instead, prepare themselves to be a part of a group of individuals working to make their communities safer. Taking a little time to understand the requirements, setting and what will be expected during their time on the stand will make the experience exponentially more comfortable, their testimony more natural and allow for diver and team actions to be explained to all parties involved.
Emergency response diving is a demanding platform with a myriad of variances in dive operations, adaptations to ever-changing underwater environments and often long hours of training and preparation for calls for service. However, the purpose of this dive profession is to safely recover underwater items, including those associated with criminal activity. Just as a diver prepared to perform his profession learning basic underwater concepts through much more challenging abilities, the end result will often be the need to deliver that training in the legal arena. Divers should take the time to hone that aspect of their skills and become familiar with the legal settings and responsibilities associated there. ERDI has created training for this purpose and to assist the individual in furthering their education along that avenue. Taking a little time and familiarizing yourself can aid you in mentally preparing yourself to perform to the highest level of professionalism you can.

For Ed Walsh and his sister Martha, this is their story, along with telling the story of their late sister Mary. They are the last of their generation in their family. For Ed's daughter Valerie, this film holds the spirit of her dad and her mother Bev, who has also passed on.
In the first short segment of the film, you'll see the interview footage from when Ed sat down with Personal Historian Cory Bretz during the hottest days of the summer of 2013. His story starts out in the cold prairie fields of High Tor, Saskatchewan where his parents scratched out a living during the Depression running a rural post office and a farm. Matched with the original faded photos of their family's collection, the story comes alive.
Part II of The Walsh Family Legacy documents how Ed joined the Regina Rifles Regiment in World War II and slogged his way through the flooded dykes of Holland and then along the Rhine River, commanding his own troop of soldiers. You'll get to meet his lovely wife, Beverly Ilott."I hope my grandchildren will watch this", said Ed. He was very clear while being interviewed that he didn't want his own descendants to wonder about their ancestors, just as he had wondered about his own silent father's story.
When war began in 1939, I enlisted because my buddies did". For Ed Walsh, going to war was about fighting injustice and making the world safe for democracy. But he admits now after more than 70 years that he signed up to be a soldier because he didn't want his buddies to think he was chicken. But Ed says, that's okay, "Because they all did it too".
Personal Historian & Videographer Cory Bretz holding a stack of finalized discs containing The Walsh Family Legacy movie, ready to be handed over to Ed and Valerie.
The full film is also on the web, available 24/7 to Ed's family and watchable on their computers, tablets, phones, and big screen Smart TVs.
Ed's daughter Valerie helped immensely by sorting their family photos and identifying the names of all the people. Ed had just gotten his war medals polished and mounted. These interviews were conducted last summer while Ed visited Vancouver. He sat in a comfy chair and just talked. Later he said it was very easy to tell his story with Personal Historian Cory Bretz.

The quality of the water forming a smooth pool on the ice had a deeply quiet cold quality that demanded quieting my emotions. The colors of the trees had a deep red quality from the spring bark.

How much time do you spend entering the same information in multiple systems year after year over the course of the life of a client?
How much time and money you would save if you could eliminate costly redundant data entry?
Consider both the hard and soft costs of this redundant data entry; it adds up.
Today, when a member makes an election in BerniePortal an email is sent to the broker with a copy of the digitally signed election sheet. The broker must then save the pdf election sheet, create a new contact record or update the member information in their CRM, and create a follow up task to ensure the transaction is completed by the carrier.
Now, there is a better way and at a fraction of the cost.
We are excited to announce that BerniePortal and BenefitsGuide have developed an integration that allows real time updates from BerniePortal's online benefit administration platform to the BenefitsGuide insurance agency management system.
Not only can you use the "Bernie Button" in BenefitsGuide to complete the Bernie Build Out Form and Census file, now elections made online during the enrollment process in BerniePortal are automatically created in BenefitsGuide as Member Transactions related to the correct Contact and Plan records.
As if that wasn't enough, workflow tasks related to the Member Transaction are automatically created and assigned to the person on your team responsible for communicating the election to the different insurance carriers.
When these tasks are completed, you have the option for BenefitsGuide to automatically send two emails; one to the member with information about plan benefits, forms needed for plan administration, links to provider networks, information about value added services and more. A separate email is sent to the group benefit administrator confirming receipt of the application, setting realistic expectations and providing information about the billing.
Just another reason to love BerniePortal and BenefitsGuide.

Blake Richardson of Between the Buried and Me: "Telos??? Live
Enjoy this close-up view of drummer Blake Richardson and Between the Buried and Me performing "Telos" during the band's recent Summer Slaughter outing. The studio version of "Telos" appears on the band's new album, The Parallax II: Future Sequence.
"This song is absolutely one of my favorites to perform in a live setting," Richardson recently told Modern Drummer Online. "It has power, intensity, groove, and most of all, fluidity. The big challenge of playing this track is holding back and letting the riffs and melody take the forefront while keeping the drumming energetic and interesting. I think this video is a great representation of that."

Pressure on EU Commission as report shows rule-of-law retreat
'I am missing stronger assurances for the judges not to be penalised for the content of the decision-making,' said EU commissioner for values and transparency Vera Jourová over Poland's latest judicial reform (Photo: EC - Audiovisual Service)
By Elena Sánchez Nicolás
The European Commission on Wednesday (13 July) published its third report on the state of the judiciary, media freedom, and corruption in member states — including country-specific recommendations as a new innovation.
"Russia's war in Ukraine is another reminder of the importance of our work to uphold and promote rule of law in the EU and beyond," EU commissioner for values and transparency Vera Jourová told a press conference when presenting the report.
"But we can only remain credible if our own house is in order," she added.
The report acknowledged positive development in some member states, but it particularly criticises Poland and Hungary — the only two member states facing sanctions over the rule of law under the EU's Article 7 procedure.
The EU executive said concerns over the independence of the judicial systemand the situation of media independence in both Hungary and Poland remain, warning that billions of euros in aid remain conditional on reforms.
The report highlights continuing irregularities in the appointment of judges in Poland, calling on the government to implement previous rulings of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights.
Under the recommendations, it also urges Warsaw to separate the roles of the justice minister and prosecutor general, improve civic space for minorities and NGOs, and ensure a fair way to decide on operating licences for media.
The commission approved in June the €35.4bn recovery plan for Poland after a lengthy delay. But the move sparked outrage among progressive MEPs who have long demanded a pause on recovery fund disbursements until rule of law reforms are upheld.
The Polish government has passed a new law abolishing the disciplinary chamber for judges, which has been at the heart of the debate in Brussels.
But Jourová previously said that the new bill was not sufficient to meet the milestones set under the recovery plan — something she also repeated on Wednesday.
"I am missing stronger assurances for the judges not to be penalised for the content of the decision-making," she told a press conference, pointing out that the assessment of the commission over this law is still ongoing.
Echoing the same message, EU justice commissioner Didier Reynders said that "there may be some room for improvement in the way to implement the new reform in Poland."
Hungary's concerns 'remain unaddressed'
To date, the Hungarian recovery plan has not been approved by Brussels — and it is still unclear when it could receive the green light as procedures under the so-called rule-of-law mechanism, launched earlier this year, are still ongoing.
"The real issue now is to work out what sort of reforms could be introduced in Hungary in order to meet the concerns which have been expressed, … but is up to the Hungarian authorities to propose reforms on the rule of law and combating corruption," Reynders said.
Wednesday's report warned that concerns about judicial independence in Hungary "remain unaddressed" — urging Budapest to strengthen the role of the National Judicial Council and rules for the judicial appointments of Hungary's Supreme Court (the Kúria).
It adds that insufficient anti-corruption measures are particularly concerning in an environment where "risks clientelism, favouritism and nepotism in high-level public administration" exists.
Orban's emergency powers related to the pandemic were also slammed by the commission which argues they have been used "extensively, also in areas not related to the Covid-19 pandemic as initially invoked."
And the report's criticisms also stress the need to ensure independent public media, reform lobbying rules and remove obstacles for civil organisations.
Other problematic member states
In addition to major rule of law concerns in Poland and Hungary, the report also shows problems in other EU countries.
The EU executive has called on the Slovenian government to ensure the independent governance and editorial of public service media and to better protect journalists.
Malta, Greece and Ireland were also told to improve the protection of journalists, while the EU says Italy needs to reform its defamation law to protect reporters.
In Spain, the commission says there is a need to strengthen the independence of the prosecutor general and move on with the renewal of the council for the judiciary which has now been stuck for years.
Brussels also urged the Dutch government to develop a lobbying code of conduct for ministers and other officials — just a few days after reports revealed Dutch former commissioner Neelie Kroes' role at Uber.
Meanwhile, MEPs have urged the commission to step up efforts to halt democratic backsliding in the bloc.
"The European Commission is insufficiently enforcing the rule of law in Europe… If it does not act more decisively, this report is a paper tiger," said Dutch liberal MEP Sophie in 't Veld.
"This sharper analysis is not met with a sharper bite," said German green MEP Terry Reintke, calling for clear follow-up action.
EU should freeze all funds to Hungary, says study
Hungary delays oil ban over Putin's patriarch
No money to Poland without rule of law, von der Leyen says
EU approved Poland's recovery fund despite criticism
Spain under EU fire for non-functioning judiciary
EU Commission shrugs off Polish threats on rule-of-law
A cross-party group of MEPs presented a legal study suggesting the European Commission freeze all EU funds to Hungary, due to ongoing rule-of-law issues.
Hungary is further delaying EU sanctions on Russia, now saying Europe must not blacklist Russian Orthodox Church head patriarch Kirill.
"[The commission's] three commitments must be fulfilled before any payment can be made," EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said as criticism of the EU executive mounts for approving Poland's recovery plan.
EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen is expected to travel to Warsaw on Thursday to announce the move — which comes after a year-long debate over the release of Covid-19 recovery financing.
Spain must renew the country's top judicial body, European Commission vice-president Věra Jourová has warned — after the president of the National Council for the Judiciary threatened to resign.
The EU Commission says Poland still needs to enact judicial reforms in order to unlock €35bn in Covid-19 recovery money, despite threats by Warsaw.
Poland's legal fixes to collect EU funds come under fire
Unlocking the €35.4bn in grants and loans allocated for Poland as part of the EU's Covid-19 fund is key for the Law & Justice (PiS) government to boost its chances ahead of the upcoming elections in the autumn.
