QUEEN'S FREDDIE MERCURY:
The Circus Magazine Tapes
by Don Rush
Freddie Mercury speaks about "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the state of Queen. This candid, is reprinted from the March 17th, 1977 edition of Circus magazine.
"Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Boys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant was always my favourite singer-and he's said nice things about me, you know. He actually said he liked 'Killer Queen'.
We were always a sitting target in the press because we became popular so quickly. But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together. It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived. I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs. When the whole point of Queen was to be original.
I'm the first to accept fair criticism. But the dishonest reviews-where people haven't done their homework – I just tear them up. I do get annoyed when up – and-coming journalists put themselves above the artist.
I don't care what the journalists say; we achieved our own identity after Queen II. As for the Beach Boys or Led Zeppelin comparisons: it's the combination of all those influences which means Queen. We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.
A lot of people slammed 'Bohemian Rhapsody', but who can you compare that to? Name one group that's done an operatic single. You know, we were adamant that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' would be a hit in its entirety. We fain' been forced to make compromises, but cutting up a song will never be one of them.
We've always put our necks on the line. We're fussy and finicky and have very high standards. If a song can't be done properly, we'd rather it isn't done at all. We're the fussiest band in the world, and we put so much loving into every album. We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.
And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product. We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen. If people said, "The new album sounds just like Night At The Opera," I'd give up. Wouldn't you?
After Sheer Heart Attack, we realized we'd established ourselves. We felt that there were no barriers, no restrictions. A Night At The Opera featured every sound from a tuba to a comb. Nothing is out of bounds. Every molecule of Day At The Races – every iota – is us. No session men. We don't try to reproduce that onstage.
We've been snagged in the press for our flamboyant stage show. We think a show should be a spectacle. A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.
In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew. 'Stone Cold Crazy' was the first song Queen ever performed onstage.
I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show. I dress to kill, but tastefully. My nail polish? I used to use Biba, now I use Miners. One coat goes on really smooth.
If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes. We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise. I think we're sophisticated. I like the cabaretish sort of thing. In fact, one of my early inspirations came from Cabaret. I absolutely adore Liza Minnelli, she's a total wow. The way she delivers her songs – the sheer energy; the way the lights enhance every movement of the show. I think you can see similarities in the excitement and energy of a Queen show. It's not glam rock, you see; we're in the show business tradition.
The lavish presentation appeals to me, and I've got to convince the others. You don't know how I had to fight for 'Big Spender' on the last tour .We row about everything, even about the air we breathe. We're the bitchiest band on earth, darling. We're at each other's throats. One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drum set across the stage. The thing only just missed me – I might have been killed. Yes, we're all very highly strung. Once, Roger squirted Brian in the face with hairspray in a tiny, steaming dressing room. They nearly came to blows. We've all got massive egos, my dear. The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs. I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time.
People think I'm an ogre, you know. On stage, I am a devil. But I'm hardly a social reject. My parents were very strict, actually. I was born in Zanzibar September 5, 1946. My father was a civil servant. I learned to fend for myself in boarding school. All the bullying – I had the odd schoolmaster chasing me. I was considered the arch poof.
I've had my share of schoolboy pranks. That's as much as I'll divulge. I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration. You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs – and I don't even believe in astrology.
I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics. 'Death On Two Legs' was the most vicious lyric I ever wrote. It's so vindictive that Brian felt bad singing it. I don't like to explain what I was thinking when I wrote a song. I think that's awful, just awful. When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and sounds splendid. I like to be surrounded by splendid things. I like to browse around art galleries, but I'm a hard-working lad and I never have the time. I bought a house in London which I'd only seen in photographs. I know that's absurd, but I had no time to go house-hunting. And I needed a place to move my furniture and clothes. I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
I'm not into business at all. I'm hopeless with money; I simply spend what I've got. I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It's nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime. Now I've got money. I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me."

Batwoman 1×9 Review: 'Crisis On Infinite Earths: Part 2'
Posted by Khai On December 11, 2019 1 Comment
After everything that went down in the eighth episode of Batwoman, I'm glad that 'Crisis On Infinite Earths: Part 2' interrupts the season here. We really needed a break. Plus, Kate gets a little personal development that should change where she was headed (once she gets back from questing with the Arrowverse's Greatest Heroes, that is).
'Crisis On Infinite Earths: Part 2' gives us the next part of the Crossover puzzle. There are 7 paragons who are key to saving the multiverse. Kara is the Paragon of Hope and Sara is the Paragon of Destiny. Aside from that we get hints for two of the remaining seven. The Paragon of Truth is a hopeless Kryptonian who's lost everything, and the Paragon of Courage is the "Bat of the future".
Felicity Smoak apparently named these people for the Monitor, so we can blame her for the melodramatic yet vague descriptions.
Anyone else becoming a sucker for the "fighting against insane odds but also trying to take care of this baby" trope or is it just me? I blame "The Mandalorian".
We can also blame everyone for not seeing what I think the whole audience saw immediately. "Bat of the future" isn't "a Batman from the future", it's literally the next gen Batfamily member, AKA Kate. I can cut the characters a little slack because a) the Monitor didn't name her and b) the sheer awesomeness of Batman is blinding. Of course they'd look for a Batman first…. but still. Kate is standing right there.
Although I wasn't super invested before, after this episode I'm all about the friendship between Kate and Kara. It gave me a kick when Kate threatens Lex for the sole reason that Kara doesn't like him. She knows nothing else about the dude, but he made her friend leave the room in angry tears so of course she's going to flex on him. I'm not saying I'll like this friendship as much as the Cinnamon Roll Friendship of Kara and Barry, but it's going to be up there.
As you'd expect, there's a lot of meta jokes and nods to other DC properties in 'Crisis On Infinite Earths: Part 2'. A few of my favorites:
Sara, on being asked to lend a Waverider to the effort: "I kind of promised my crew they'd never have to do another crossover."
Kevin Conroy. All of the yes. We knew he was going to be in the Crossover, and seeing him as Darkest Timeline Bruce was just as good as I hoped. It's so, so cool to hear THE BATVOICE in a live action show. Also, WOW is it so on brand for Batman to have Kryptonite ON HIS PERSON when as far as he knew he'd killed the only Superman on the planet.
Everyone's favorite bisexual magician, John Constantine, drops by to help bring Oliver Queen back from the dead. See, you know they wouldn't let him die for good in the first episode! Of course, that goes not according to plan but THEY TRIED!
Tom Welling as Brawny Paper Towel Clark has found a way to forsake his Kryptonian heritage, meaning no super strength but also no allergy to Kryptonite. Not where I remember Smallville ending but it was a fun surprise.
Mick reading smut novels to get Superbaby Jonathan to sleep.
Jonah Hex pops in to get a scar off Sara, then stumbles off. I'm aware it's just fan service, but really, isn't that what Crossovers are in general?
What gets me is how calm Bruce is here. He's sure he did the right thing, even as he warns Kate against it. Kevin Conroy is THE MAN.
Aside from the overall crossover arc, 'Crisis On Infinite Earths: Part 2' comes at the perfect point in Kate's own story. The Monitor said Kate had to meet Darkest Timeline Bruce to become the Paragon of Courage. That sounds like something she won't just shake off after the Crisis.
Kate could use that kind of boost. She's in a fragile place back in the Batwoman storyline. Given what she was doing in the first part of the crossover, it looked like she was beating her way through the Rabbits with murderous intent. Maybe seeing Bruce and the way he slid down the dark path one kill at a time will solidify her Bat Code of Ethics, and she'll detain Alice instead of killing her.
Much as I, personally wouldn't mind that second outcome. (I get one dig at Alice every review, people.)
The Crisis On Infinite Earths continues with The Flash, which you can stream… but be careful. The rest is scheduled after the holidays, so you can expect a dramatic cliffhanger.

'I Would F[***]Ing Kill It': Self-Described 'Psycho' Declares That She 'Would Get Pregnant Just to Abort' the Baby
Click here to view original web page at www.theblaze.com
Libs of TikTok, which frequently reposts videos of leftists spouting radical views, has shared the video of a self-described "psycho" declaring that she would get pregnant just to abort the baby.
The individual says, "I would get pregnant just to abort it. You can't argue with me, OK, I'm psycho. I would f[***]ing kill it. I would push myself down the f[***]ing stairs, I would jump out of a plane," in order to kill the unborn baby. She added that she does "not wanna give birth." u201cu201cI would get pregnant just to kill itu201du201d — Libs of TikTok (@Libs of TikTok) 1655664439 In response to the shocking post, Allie Beth Stuckey, host of BlazeTV's "Relatable," tweeted , "We should stop pretending that all women who get abortions are victims."
"These people are sick. Mental illness is the real epidemic in America," someone else declared .
"Society has been deteriorating for decades. There's no saving society with thousands of people thinking like this. Society will completely collapse soon. We can't survive at this rate. God help us all!" another person tweeted .
"It can't be overstated. Libs of Tik Tok lifting the hood on the modern left has been eye-opening," Erielle Davidson tweeted .
Earlier this year, a leaked Supreme Court draft majority opinion revealed that the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, a move that would enable states to ban abortions. Some states have trigger-laws in place that would ban most abortions if the high court makes such a decision.
"Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives," the draft opinion stated.
Many Americans have been waiting for […]

BACKGROUND: Critically ill patients are deprived of sleep and its potential healing qualities, although many receive medications to promote sleep. No one has adequately evaluated holistic nonpharmacological techniques designed to promote sleep in critical care practice.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of (1) a back massage and (2) combined muscle relaxation, mental imagery, and a music audiotape on the sleep of older men with a cardiovascular illness who were hospitalized in a critical care unit.
METHODS: Sixty-nine subjects were randomly assigned to a 6-minute back massage (n=24); a teaching session on relaxation and a 7.5-minute audiotape at bedtime consisting of muscle relaxation, mental imagery, and relaxing background music (n=28); or the usual nursing care (controls, n=17). Polysomnography was used to measure 1 night of sleep for each patients. Sleep efficiency index was the primary variable of interest. One-way analysis of variance was used to test for difference in the index among the 3 groups.
RESULTS: Descriptive statistics showed improved quality of sleep among the back-massage group. Initial analysis showed a significant difference among the 3 groups in sleep efficiency index. Post hoc testing with the Duncan procedure indicated a significant difference between the back-massage group and the control group; patients in the back-massage group slept more than 1 hour long than patients in the control group. However, the variance was significantly different among the 3 groups, and reanalysis of data with only 17 subjects in each group revealed no difference among groups (P=.06).
CONCLUSIONS: Back massage is useful for promoting sleep in critically ill older men.


A badly decomposed body was found on a rocky stretch of coastline at Black's Beach Friday.
The discovery north of La Jolla Shores was reported about 4:15 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Police officers investigated, then called in the county Medical Examiner's Office to pick up the unidentified body, SDFRD spokesman Lee Swanson said.


OpenAQ collects and aggregates air quality data from 114 government level and research-grade sources; the data is produced by 10,210 locations coming from 68 countries. The data is aggregated into a single location for their community to analyse and build technical solutions around.
Like with previous air quality data integrations, by making this data available for free on Streamr, it widens the audience viewing the data being collected by OpenAQ, and enables air quality based smart contract applications to be built with ease. It also allows visualisation of the data within canvases on the Streamr editor. Eventually, it is planned that other data streams will be onboarded that can be merged and cross analysed with this data (a real smart city solution!).
The data can be found on the Marketplace (for free) here. This includes a separate stream for each country present (so check it out to see if your country of interest is available).
Data points arrive at the Streamr platform as soon as they are added to the OpenAQ platform (no polling on a time interval!). Some sensors generate a lot more data points than others (in other words, beware that some country streams or individual sensors might not have frequent data points).
After subscribing to the data via the Marketplace link, you can either access the data directly or from within a canvas.
An example canvas accessing the data is available here. See the notes here, under the 'how do I access it?' section, for pointers on running a shared canvas; most importantly, save the canvas so that it becomes yours and you can edit it, and remember to hit start in either historical or real-time mode to start seeing data. (Note if duplicating the canvas to be your own, and then running in real-time, you wont see data points until the next sensor updates).
Alternatively, if you don't have a Streamr account, you can still view the canvas here.
In blue box 1, a number of modules are being used to show the locations of all available sensors. Note that the incoming data is coming from the United Kingdom stream so only those sensors are shown (see the final points of this post for details on changing the country). The location name of each sensor is extracted from the raw data and provided to the map as an ID. IDs are provided so that multiple markers can be shown on the map; each location/ID has its own longitude and latitude and marker. If just longitude and latitude were being provided to the map (without associated IDs), only one marker would ever be shown. Hovering over the markers in this map will display their location name / ID.
In blue box 2, a filter is being applied so that data from only one sensor (location name / ID) is being processed at later points (in box 3 etc). Events coming in are checked for their location name and a filter is applied. The measurement type is also being filtered to be PM10.
In blue box 3, the longitude and latitude of one sensor is being shown. This time only one sensor is shown as only data for that sensor is getting through to this point (due to the filtering described in the previous bullet point). Note, if a precise timestamp is needed for each measurement, this can be retrieved from the 'extra -> date -> utc or local' attribute present in each data point. The chart is currently showing the time at which the measurement entered the Streamr platform.
The red boxes indicate parameters you might be interested in changing; changing these will allow data from other sensor locations to be viewed, and also other pollutant types.
The data in the canvas is currently coming from the United Kingdom sensor stream. If you want to change the incoming data so that it is from another country, this can be done by clicking on the current stream in the Stream module (top left of canvas) and starting to type the name of another country stream (a list of stream names are found on the marketplace product, linked above). Changing the stream is likely to remove some links between the stream module and modules it is currently connected to. Remember to reattach the links so the flows remain intact.
Remember if changing the country, the red box in the centre of the canvas will need to be changed to be filtering for a new sensor location within that new country. Names of locations can be seen by hovering over the markers in the map in box 1 (once the canvas is running using a new country).
Finally I would like to thank the OpenAQ team / community for their help during this integration, and for providing and maintaining a great platform!

About Salt in My Soul
The diaries of a remarkable young woman who was determined to live a meaningful and happy life despite her struggle with cystic fibrosis and a rare superbug—from age fifteen to her death at the age of twenty-five
"Captures the heartbreaking beauty of being alive."—Beck Dorey-Stein, New York Times bestselling author of From the Corner of the Oval
Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of three, Mallory Smith grew up to be a determined, talented young woman who inspired others even as she privately raged against her illness. Despite the daily challenges of endless medical treatments and a deep understanding that she'd never lead a normal life, Mallory was determined to "Live Happy," a mantra she followed until her death. Mallory worked hard to make the most out of the limited time she had, graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, becoming a cystic fibrosis advocate well known in the CF community, and embarking on a career as a professional writer. Along the way, she cultivated countless intimate friendships and ultimately found love.
For more than ten years, Mallory recorded her thoughts and observations about struggles and feelings too personal to share during her life, leaving instructions for her mother to publish her work posthumously. She hoped that her writing would offer insight to those living with, or loving someone with, chronic illness.
What emerges is a powerful and inspiring portrait of a brave young woman and blossoming writer who did not allow herself to be defined by disease. Her words offer comfort and hope to readers, even as she herself was facing death. Salt in My Soul is a beautifully crafted, intimate, and poignant tribute to a short life well lived—and a call for all of us to embrace our own lives as fully as possible.
Advance praise for Salt in My Soul
"This is a deeply moving book full of wisdom about health, life, and love—and about the importance of finding happiness wherever and whenever we can. It broke my heart but also inspired me to make the most of every day."—Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club
"A beautiful, brave, unsparingly insightful account of a courageous girl who becomes a woman warrior and fights for her life while living it fully."—Eric Lax, author of The Mold in Dr. Florey's Coat

Mallory Smith may have salt in her soul, but she's all firecracker. She is a gift and so is her writing—every grain of it."—Beck Dorey-Stein, New York Times bestselling author of From the Corner of the Oval
"In Salt in My Soul, Mallory Smith is bracingly candid and unflinching in her portrayal of life with chronic illness. Yet she also writes with warmth and humor about the everyday experiences of growing up as a young woman in search of meaning, purpose, and love while knowing her life will likely be cut short.

"Those of us fortunate enough to know the amazing Mallory Smith learned that no matter how sick, she would find escape from the prison of her illness to play water polo, to be prom queen, to go to Stanford, to graduate Phi Beta Kappa, and to know true love in her twenty-five years. With the strength of her parents, the support of her many friends, and her own great grit, Mallory lived her ambitions.

Hegemony or Survival, by Noam Chomsky, published November 2003
from Hegemony or Survival, by Noam Chomsky (number of quotes indicated):
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance, was the book held up by Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2006. Pres. Chavez used the book to exemplify the dangers of US hegemony, which means the risks of the US imposing its will by force over the rest of world. Chomsky's book provides a detailed history of US hegemony, with lessons for current US actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chomsky considers the US to be the world's leading "rogue state" and recommends that the US abide by UN and World Court decisions.
Noam Chomsky: US considers World Court hostile, and therefore ignores it.
Noam Chomsky: Mideasterners call US-Israel-Turkey the Axis of Evil.
Noam Chomsky: Pre-emptive war ok; �preventive war� is a war crime.
George W. Bush: Op-Ed: Bush maintains power by inspiring fear & nationalism.
Noam Chomsky: Iraq was necessary first example of preventive war doctrine.
The above quotations are from Hegemony or Survival, by Noam Chomsky, published November 2003.
Borrowing a line from US linguist and foreign policy critic Noam Chomsky, Venezuela's President Chavez told the 61st UN General Assembly that the world currently faces the choice between continued US hegemony and human survival. Chavez also called for the re-founding of the United Nations, so as to avert this danger.
-- VenezuelAnalysis.com, September 20, 2006
Excerpts from Pres. Chavez' speech to the UN:
I would like to invite all of those, who have not had a chance, to read this book that we have read: Noam Chomsky, one of the most prestigious intellectuals of America and the world. One of Chomsky's most recent works: Hegemony or Survival?
America's Quest for Global Dominance. An excellent piece to help us understand what happened in the world during the 20th century, what is going on now and the greatest threat looming over our planet: the hegemonic pretension of US Imperialism that puts at risk the very survival of the human species. We continue to warn about this danger and call on the people of the US and the world to halt this threat that is like the sword of Damocles.
I think our brothers and sisters of the United States should be the first citizens to read this book because the threat is in their own house. The Devil is in their home. The Devil, the Devil himself is in their home.
The Devil came here yesterday (laughter and applause). Yesterday the Devil was here, in this very place. This table from where I speak still smells like sulfur. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, in this same hall the President of the United States, who I call "The Devil," came here talking as if he owned the world. It would take a psychiatrist to analyze the US president's speech from yesterday.
As the spokesperson for Imperialism he came to give us his recipes for maintaining the current scheme of domination, exploitation and pillage of the world's people. It would make a good Alfred Hitchcock movie. I could even suggest a title: "The Devil's Recipe." That is to say, US Imperialism, and here Chomsky says it with profound and crystalline clarity, is making desperate efforts to consolidate its hegemonic system of domination. We cannot allow this to occur, we cannot permit them to install a world dictatorship, to consolidate a world dictatorship.
The US president said the following yesterday in this same hall, I quote: "everywhere you turn, you hear extremists who tell you that you can escape your misery and regain your dignity through violence and terror and martyrdom." Wherever he looks he sees extremists. I am sure he sees you, brother, with your skin color, and thinks you are an extremist. With his color, the dignified President of Bolivia Evo Morales, who was here yesterday, is an extremist. The imperialists see extremists all around. No, its not that we are extremists. What is happening is that the world is waking up and people everywhere are rising up. I have the impression Mr. Imperialist dictator that you will live the rest of your days as if in a nightmare, because no matter where you look we will be rising up against US imperialism.
Yes, they call us extremists, we who demand complete freedom in the world, equality among peoples and respect for national sovereignty.
The US president came to speak to the people of Afghanistan, to the people of Lebanon, to the people of Iran. One has to wonder, when listening to the US president speak to those people: what would those people say to him? If those people could talk to him, what would they say? I think I have an idea because I know the souls of the majority of those people, the people of the South, the downtrodden peoples would say: Yankee imperialist go home! That would be the shout that would echo around the world, if these people of the world could speak with only one voice to the US Empire.

How many times have you heard the term, or even used it? The term I am talking about is "Google it". Last week I was out with friends and we were talking about going to a café for coffee. The confusion was where to go. The next thing I see all of them had their smart phones out and were busy naming places that we could go to or cafeterias that had recently opened up. Approximately 80% of online purchases begin with the buyer typing the name of the product they are interested in on Google. To ensure that your website ranks high on the search engine page, or on Google as we commonly say, you need to optimize this. So how do you go about optimizing it? The answer to this is using Search Engine Optimisation or SEO in Adelaide.
First, it is important to determine which keywords are best for your product or for the buyers you want to target. Keywords are the words that a customer will type into the search field of the search engine. Since I was speaking about café, I would probably Google "Cafes in Adelaide"; these would be my keywords. So you need to think about the phrases and the words that buyers would type to search for your product or business services.
Misspell keywords if they are common. For example, the word Kaftan is also spelt as Caftan.
So it would be wise to include both these spellings into the keywords.
The fewer the keywords, the bigger the impact. Make sure your combined keywords add up to a 1000 characters.
Secondly, based on the keywords you are targeting, create "meta tags" on all pages of your website. Meta tags are descriptive text phrases written in HTML code on your site. They are not visible on your web pages but search engines can find and read them. It is a good idea to have a look at what meta tags your competitors are using before generating your own. You can do this from your browser's toolbar, click on "View" and then click on "Source". A window with HTML text will open and you can study it. The most important meta tags will be found at the top of the page.
The key meta tags for marketing purposes are title, description and keywords. These tags control what web users will see when your site is listed in the search engines and will help decide whether the user will visit or site or not. It is therefore important to have a title that makes sense to your site visitors. The title tag should be a maximum of 95 characters, including spaces, and no longer than six to seven words.
When your website comes up in the search engine results, the "description" meta tag is often the opening statement that users will use to decide whether to access the link or not. The description tag should be a maximum of 220 characters with spaces.
Put your keywords in your meta tags as well as include them in the first 25 words of your homepage.
There in a nutshell I have briefly outlined the simple SEO guidelines. Obviously it is always wise to let the professionals do it and Platinum SEO in Adelaide are just the people to do it for you. Save the headache and let them take the pain.

Geopolitics (1983: Doomsday)
An overview of the international politics of the post-Doomsday world.
1 Unions
2 Regionalism
3 Major global blocs and alliances
4 Regional alliances
4.4 America
5 The Non-aligned
6 Other regional organizations
7 Cultural and linguistic communities
8 Lawless Regions
A general trend for successful nations since Doomsday has been amalgamation. Those nations and powers that have thrived, have done so because they successfully came together to combine resources, manpower, ideas, and goals. In general (though not universally), states that did not enter into combinations in the post-Doomsday years were less able to grow and prosper and were more liable to fragmentation and disorder. These multi-national unions vary in form from economic alliances to fully integrated states.
In 1984, the first major post-DD national merger occurred as ANZUS nations (Australia, New Zealand, and the remnants of the USA) concluded a new treaty strengthening their relationship and laying the foundation for the future Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand. South America took a similar, though slower, course, also building up from existing alliances. The Andean Nations Pact became the Andean Union in 1990, which would form the core of the South American Confederation fourteen years later. In the same way, the Nordic Council was reworked and strengthened into the closer Nordic Union in 1990.
Other early unions were formed out of convenience or necessity, not based on earlier blocs or treaties. The Governing Committee for Samoa, established by the Samoa Island's two nations just months after Doomsday, was one of the first. Other early examples include the Celtic Alliance, preliminary agreements for which were made in 1984, to be made into a formal union in 1986; and the Guyana Cooperative, formed in response to threats from Venezuela. The East Caribbean Federation is the successful revival of an idea that had failed before Doomsday, but tried once again in 1987.
Multi-national unions and alliances, in order of foundation:
Samoa (1983)
Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics (1984)
Celtic Alliance (1986)
East Caribbean Federation (1987)
Guyana Cooperative (1987)
Andean Union (1990)
Gulf States Union (1990)
Nordic Union (1990)
Confederation of Greece (1994)
Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand (1995)
Alpine Confederation (1997)
North American Union (1997)
West African Union (1999)
Bougainville & Solomon Islands (2003)
South American Confederation (2004)
Kinshassa-Brazzaville (2007)
The converse of the above trend is that many nations fractured and fragmented in the years after 1983. Many national governments were simply destroyed with hardly a trace, so this fragmenting was hardly the choice of its citizens. But in many places, regional loyalties replaced national ones. Either the old national government was blamed for or strongly associated with the disasters of 1983, or it was simply seen as irrelevant in the changed world of the aftermath. The following is an incomplete list of states that consciously embraced a regional identity while rejecting the fomer nation.
Cabinda
KwaXhosa
KwaZulu
Major global blocs and alliances
The world today can be divided into competing and often overlapping power blocs. The following three are generally recognized as the main global powers:
Australia-New Zealand and its associated states
Flag of the Oceanic Organisation
Australia-New Zealand Bloc, consisting of the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand with its dependencies and allies. The ANZC appropriated much of the surviving overseas war machine of the former global power USA, and its network of associated states encompasses most of the Pacific islands. Tonga and to a lesser degree, the French Pacific, though neutral, depend on the ANZC economically. Generally considered the number one world power of the first decades after Doomsday, the ANZC was instrumental in the creation of several of the new global institutions, such as the WCRB and the League of Nations. In 2015, the Oceanic Organisation was created to join Australia-New Zealand and its associated states together in a formal, multilateral alliance.
ANZC
ANZ-associated states
Belau
East Caribbean Federation
Union of India
South American Bloc
Flag of the South American Confederation
South America, through the union of the South American Confederation, has a population of around 350,000,000. It is an economic powerhouse due to its surviving industrial infrastructure and its control of the Panama Canal. The SAC was formed largely to be a counterweight to the ANZ power. Though the two blocs are natural rivals, they have cooperated in a number of joint missions, such as the military expedition to Cape Town and the establishment of the Municipal States of the Pacific in California/Oregon. Singapore, though not in South America, is included in this bloc due to strong economic ties, while the Guyana Cooperative and French Guyane are not included due to their affiliation with other blocs and generally neutral foreign politics.
SAC members:
Republica Unida de America del Sur
Non-member allies:
Nations with bilateral ties to Brazil:
Ambô
Socialist Bloc
Flag of the CSTO
The Socialist Bloc, today include the Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics (also known as "Socialist Siberia") and its allies around the world. Siberia was historically isolationist in its foreign approach, though its control of parts of western Alaska has led to a tense diplomatic relationship with the ANZC. The CSTO, a political-military alliance founded in 2010, represented a desire to extend its presence to many parts of the world and signaled the creation of a unique bloc of states. Costa Rica had very close ties to the bloc and would likely have joined the CSTO, but administrations since 2008 have pursued a more non-aligned foreign policy; nevertheless, the USSR still has a good deal of influence in the country. in Africa, the CSTO works through a pair of partner organizations.
Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics
Aralia (USSR protectorate)
Kokand
People's Republic of Angola
West Poland
Costa Rica - nonmember
The Confederation of African Marxist Countries
The Confederation of Socialist West African Nations
Revolutionary Republic of Liberia
Upper Volta
Regional alliances
Atlantic Defense Community
Flag of the ADC
Outside the three major alliance, probably the most prominent geopolitical bloc is called the Euro-Atlantic Fringe. This bloc's main formal institution is the Atlantic Defense Community, the successor to NATO. The countries in this region are the remnants of European countries, plus Canada, Tunisia, and the Rif-Republic, surviving on offshore Atlantic and Mediterranean islands. Though lacking in population and resources, the Euro-Atlantic nations have still a good supply of old military hardware and a great deal of diplomatic prestige. They have positioned themselves as the neutral balance between Australasia and South America. This was evident, for example, in the negotiations surrounding the establishment of the LoN. Though not a member of the ADC and well known for its neutral foreign policy, the Alpine Confederation may be considered part of this bloc. The RTA and Tonga, though based in the Pacific, have played a similar role in the past as neutral mediators. However, recently they have come into conflict with other nations such as Saguenay and Italy.
Nordic Union (with 15 member states and 3 observers in the Baltic region)
Celtic Alliance
Republic of Spain
Republic of Rif
Flag of the Association of the Free Italian States
The Association of the Free Italian States is an economic union comprising 8 member states in the Italian Peninsula, which was created in order to solidify the northern economy and for having a common political view. It was formed on March 23, 2006 with the Treaty of Modena as the Italian Peninsular Alliance and on January 2, 2017 with the Treaty of Florence as the Association of the Free Italian States.
Member states shown in green.
Piedmontese Federation
Organisation of British Nations 2010
Flag of the OBN
The Organisation of British Nations: As its title would suggest this is a group of nations that are situated in the territory of the former United Kingdom. It was originally created as a purely trading bloc but it now also serves as a way for the member states to gain a louder voice on the world stage and to show that the Celtic Alliance is not the only power in the British Isles.
Newolland
GSU members within the Middle East
The Gulf States Union was formed in 1990 as a strengthened version of the Gulf Cooperation Council, an anticommunist union that dated to 1981. It was a response to two crises facing the Persian Gulf region: the collapse of the world petroleum trade and the threat of attack by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The highly integrated union includes a free trade agreement, a common currency, and a combined military command called the Peninsula Shield. It is so close-knit, in fact, that it is represented in the League of Nations by a single delegation. It has continuously occupied parts of southern Iraq since that country's collapse in 1992.
Yemen - candidate member
Jordan - nonmember ally
The Iranian bloc: Iran has become a regional power with a network of client states. It props up these allies militarily and economically, while at the same time relying on their trade due to its relative isolation from the international community. The Iranian bloc is usually understood as the main geopolitical rival of the Gulf States Union today. Persian has Become a regional language in the bloc
Islamic Republic of Iraq
Muslim Liberation Army
West African Union
Flag of the WAU
The West African Union, a close Nigeria-led West African alliance based on the so-called Adeyemist principles. It's the most influential bloc in Africa, and despite lacking the capacity of power projection they are respected by the other blocs due to the rapid development of its member states and the expansion of the union in recent years.
Ambazonia
Bioko (occupied by the WAU 2006-2016, later an associate member)
Flag of the EAC
The East African Community was re-founded in 2001 to promote further economic and political integration in the region. It established a customs union in 2007, a Common Market in 2011, and a common tourist visa in 2012. Plans are in place to add a common currency and a regional parliament.
Republic of Tanganyika
Kingdoms of Kagera
Unyamwezi
Ankole
Busoga
The African Economic Community is a movement to reintegrate South Africa undertaken largely at the initiative of the Dominion of South Africa. While criticized as a new vessel for White rule, it has evolved into a large economic union encompassing nations dominated by different races and cultures. The dissolution of the New Union of South Africa in 2014 led to the AEC's expansion into the Northern Cape and Southwest Africa.
Dominion of South Africa
South West Africa
Volkstaat
Waterboersland
Flag of the NAU
The North American Union unites most of the major surviving and restored nations in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions of North America. Its founding nations and leading powers are the restored United States and the government of Provisional Canada, based in Saskatoon.
Canada (Provisional)
Dinétah
Lakotah
Pasco Free State
The nomadic clans called Johnson, Balis, Carmichael, Williams, and Holt are also considered members.
Flag of the EAA
The East American Alliance, originally the Dixie Alliance, has become one of the strongest powers in the eastern part of the former United States.
Virginian Republic
Portland, Tennessee
Flag of CARICOM
CARICOM, the Caribbean Community, is a new organization, re-established in 2020 to promote economic integration, security, justice, and culture among the smaller nations of the Caribbean. One of the reasons for its foundation was a desire by many Caribbean members to resist the expanding influence of the South American and Socialist blocs. Its rise could therefore be seen as benefiting the ANZC, though that country played no direct role in its formation, and many members remain aligned with one of the major blocs.
The Kingdom of Bermuda
The East Caribbean Federation
The French Republic of Guyane
The Guyana Cooperative
The Netherlands Antilles
Republic of French Southern Territories (observer nation)
The Non-aligned
Reminiscent of the old "Third World", these nations have chosen to remain outside any existing bloc. On a practical level, these states do not comprise an actual alliance or bloc. The formal Non-Aligned Movement has not been revived. Mexico is probably the largest and wealthiest nation to have pursued a consistent policy of neutrality in the postwar world, making it a natural leader of any future movement.
French Southern Republic
[[{{{1}}} (1983: Doomsday)|{{{1}}}]]
West Panama
Alpine Confederation
Other regional organizations
ASEAN is an organization to promote economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members; protect the peace and stability of the region; and provide opportunities for member countries to discuss their differences peacefully.
UC members in the USA
UC members in Canada
The United Communities are not a bloc, but a regional forum based on the old United Nations. The organization is centered around the Great Lakes in the former United States and Canada and has grown to include most of the splinter republics and city-states on both sides of the old border. Canada participates, but its border conflicts with other members have caused controversy within the organization.
London-Ontario
Niagara Falls - location of headquarters
Norfolk-Haldimand
North Pennsylvania
Quad Cities Alliance
Toledo Confederation
Cultural and linguistic communities
As the shattered pieces of the world have begun to reconnect, certain nations have had a natural affinity based on shared culture and language. Some of these groupings have re-established formal organizations, while others exist more informally.
Anglosphere
Flag of the Commonwealth
The Anglosphere: The surviving English-speaking nations have naturally gravitated toward one another. That relationship may be strained at times, as with disagreements over events in Africa; but there remains the sense, both to English speakers and outsiders, that the Anglosphere comprises a family of nations, for better or for worse. The rise of a restored United States, meanwhile has opened up both old wounds and new opportunities. A number of organizations are rooted in Anglospheric unity. The ANZC itself unites the two main English-speaking countries of Oceania, and the Oceanic Organisation extends to a mostly English-speaking community of nations. Meanwhile the North American Union began as a union of the provisional United States and Canada and connects Anglophone states on both sides of the border. The Commonwealth of Nations aspires to re-create the old Commonwealth, connecting former parts of the British Empire around the globe.
Canada (also home to a Francophone population)
Municipal States of the Pacific
North American Union (including the formerly Provisional United States)
Guyana Cooperative
OBN nations
The Nations of North America
Lusosphere
The Lusosphere: Brazil is the clear leader among the Portuguese-speaking nations. In the 2010s, productive relations between Brazil and the Portuguese remnant led to the creation of the World Lusophone Community (CLM). The CLM has helped direct humanitarian aid to countries in need, with Brazil being by far the largest donor. It also sponsors programs of cultural exchange.
The nations of Angola
Le Francophone
The Francophone Community: The French-speaking states, with the Sixth Republic of France as the unofficial leader, have forged increasingly close ties following restored contact in March 2009. These form a potential power bloc that may one day reunite altogether.
France/R.T.A.
Republique Francaise Guyane
La République Poitevine
Pays-Libres des Basques (Euskadi nation with Francophone minority)
Grand-Andorre
Bourgogne-et-Franche-Comté
Lille-et-Terres-Flamande
Le Royaume de Monaco
Hispanosphere
The Hispanosphere: The Spanish-speaking nations, mostly located in a contiguous region in North, Central and South America, form a distinct community. These nations have risen in relative power and influence. As a group they would be one of the world's largest economic blocs; but differing geopolitical loyalties divide them.
South American Confederation (one of two official working languages, and the one more often used)
Panamanian Federation
Nicoya (unrecognized)
Yucatan (unrecognized)
Bioko
Lawless Regions
Much of the world is still in a state of anarchy. In many former nations, competing states and warlords vie for control. China, the European parts of the USSR, and much of North America are good examples of this. In the postwar years, some stable central governments have emerged, for example the Municipal States of the Pacific which evolved into the Republic of Jefferson. Many regions, however, remain locked in brutal in-fighting.

Sodium lauryl sulfate irritant patch tests: Degree of inflammation at various times
Mark V. Dahl, Ronald J. Trancik
Irritant reactions were induced on the forearms of 10 normal subjects with 10% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under patch test occlusion for 24 h. Test sites were observed at 24, 26, 28, 30, 48, 72 and 96 h and the degree of inflammation recorded. Inflammation was must prominent at 28 h and decreased in intensity over the time course of the study. Inflammation at 48 and 72 h was similar to when patches were removed. This suggests that inflammatory responses in skin for at least certain irritants like sodium lauryl sulfate do slowly decrease in intensity after 48 h. However, the inflammatory response may initially accelerate after patch test removal and remain intense for at least 48 h. Fading of irritant reactions by 48 or 72 h may not reliably distinguish irritant from allergic patch test, reactions. This does not refute the usefulness of a delayed (96 h) reading since inflammation from sodium lauryl sulfate had decreased significantly by this time.

What an amazing weekend we had with DeAnna and Gene! Their Four Seasons Atlanta wedding ceremony was intimate and relaxed and kept things close with family and their circle of Atlanta friends, as well as their community of people from pockets all over the US. Gene hails from New Orleans, so I was pretty excited to see what would happen at their reception, and they did not disappoint! First of all, it was held at the Bill Lowe Gallery in Midtown, and they had Amy Pike and the Bonaventure Quartet on hand for a very New Orleans style entrance (see it below!) Added Touch catering did an amazing job and even incorporated a variety of New Orleans style desserts into the evening's fare. DeAnna and Gene's last dance was followed by a Second Line musical exit to round out an ideal evening with their family and friends!

About the Repertoire
Where does the material in the Repertoire come from?
What is a case study?
What are implicit and explicit references?
What does the double asterisk (**) that is next to some headings mean?
Where is the veto featured in the Repertoire?
Where can I find information regarding the Security Council's activities in connection to the situation in a specific country or on a specific topic?
How is the Secretary-General elected?
How are the non-permanent members elected?
Each year the General Assembly elects five non-permanent members (out of 10 in total) for a two-year term. In accordance with the General Assembly resolution 1991 (XVIII) of 17 December 1963 , the 10 non-permanent seats are distributed on a regional basis as follows: five for African and Asian States; one for Eastern European States; two for the Latin American and Caribbean States; and two for Western European and other States.
Article 28 of the United Nations Charter states that the Security Council shall be so organized as to be able to function continuously. Rule 1 of the Provisional Rules of Procedures states that the meetings of the Security Council shall be held at the call of the President at any time he deems necessary, but that the interval between meetings shall not exceed fourteen days. For more information on these provisions and the practice of the Security Council, see the Provisional Rules of Procedure.
Both open and closed meetings are formal meetings of the Security Council. Closed meetings are not open to the public and no verbatim record of statements is kept, instead the Security Council issues a Communiqué in line with Rule 55 of its Provisional Rules of Procedure. Consultations are informal meetings of the Security Council members and are not covered in the Repertoire. The annual report of the Security Council to the General Assembly provides dates of consultations on different agenda items from recent years.
Subsidiary organs are bodies that are created by the Security Council under Article 29 of the United Nations Charter to assist the Council in its work. They can range from sanctions committees and Working Groups consisting of representatives of all fifteen Security Council Members to tribunals or peacekeeping missions with thousands of troops. A complete list of all subsidiary organs created by the Security Council since 1946 is available on the Repertoire's website.
What is the difference between Peacekeeping Operations, Special Political Missions and Peacebuilding Offices?
They are all considered subsidiary organs but are led by different United Nations entities and have different types of mandates. Peacekeeping operations are usually led by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and many — although not all — peacekeeping operations have a Chapter VII mandate. In addition, peacekeeping operations, as opposed to other missions, have a military or international police presence in the field.
Peacebuilding and political offices are generally overseen by the Department of Political Affairs. These missions are part of a continuum of United Nations peace operations working in different stages of the conflict cycle.
Article 39 of the United Nations Charter states that the Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression. The range of situations which the Security Council determined as giving rise to threats to the peace includes country-specific situations such as inter- or intra-State conflicts or internal conflicts with a regional or sub-regional dimension.
Furthermore, the Security Council has identified potential or generic threats as threats to international peace and security, such as terrorist acts, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the proliferation and illicit trafficking of small arms and light weapons.
The context in which the Security Council determined a situation as giving rise to breaches of the peace is narrower. The Security Council has determined a breach of the peace only in situations involving the use of armed force. Only in a very few cases in its history has the Security Council ever determined the existence of an act of aggression by one State against another.
For more information on how the Security Council has applied Article 39 of the Charter over the years, see the Repertoire's Actions with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression (Chapter VII), under Article 39.
Article 41 of the Charter of the United Nations gives the Security Council the authority to impose measures not involving the use of armed force. For more information on sanctions measures, visit the sanctions committees website. The Repertoire also covers how Article 41 has been applied and interpreted by the Security Council as well as the sanctions committees and other bodies that have been created to monitor mandatory measures.
Article 42 of the United Nations Charter gives the Security Council the authority to take action by air, sea or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security.
The Security Council has authorized military force to reverse or repel aggression by one State against another (in the context of the 1950 Korean War and the aggression of Iraq against Kuwait in 1990).
Since 1990, the Security Council has increasingly authorized the use of force under Chapter VII of the Charter — in different circumstances and to varying degrees.
It has authorized a number of naval blockades to enforce sanctions (in Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, Haiti and Sierra Leone).
It has authorized a limited use of force by United Nations peacekeeping operations (such as in the former Yugoslavia, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kosovo and East Timor, and by regional arrangements (such as the ECOWAS Mission in Côte d'Ivoire (ECOMICI), the European Union force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (EUFOR R.D. Congo) and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
Furthermore, it has authorized the use of "all necessary means" or "all necessary measures" by multinational forces (such as in Somalia, Haiti, Rwanda, Eastern Zaire, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, East Timor, Bunia in the DRC, Liberia and Iraq.
For all the relevant studies on authorization of use of force by the Security Council since 1946, see Actions with respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression (Chapter VII), under Article 42.
Besides the authorization of the use of force by the Security Council as indicated above, Member States can use force when exercising their right to self-defence according to Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. Member States can exercise the right to self-defence only in the event of an "armed attack" and "until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security". Otherwise, Article 2 (4) of the Charter states that all Members of the United Nations shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
The Security Council's role in admission of new members to the United Nations is laid out in Article 4 of the Charter of the Organization, which states that the admission is done by a decision of the General Assembly following the recommendation of the Security Council. The procedures relating to the Security Council's decisions in this respect are further laid out in rules 58-60 of the Security Council's Provisional Rules of Procedure. For more information on the process of becoming a member for all States which joined after 1946, see the Repertoire' section on Membership in the United Nations and Miscellaneous Functions and Powers.
According to Article 108 of the United Nations Charter, the Charter can be amended by a General Assembly decision approved by two thirds of General Assembly membership and ratified by two thirds of Member States, including the permanent members of the Security Council. As changing the composition of the Security Council can be done only by amending the Charter, Article 108 applies to the issue of Security Council reform.
Discussions on the issue used to be held in the General Assembly since 1992 and a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly, the "Open-ended Working Group on the Question of Equitable Representation on and Increase in the Membership of the Security Council and Other Matters Related to the Security Council" was established by General Assembly Resolution 48/26 of 10 December 1993 "to consider all aspects" of the question of increase in the membership of the Security Council, and other matters related to the Security Council. Since 2009, discussions are held in the framework of inter-governmental negotiations.
All of the material in the Repertoire is drawn from the official documents of the Security Council.
In the Repertoire, a case study brings together excerpts from meetings, resolutions and other decisions and official reports to illustrate how a certain Article or rule has been addressed in the Security Council. A case study on a rule of procedure might illustrate cases where that rule has been applied, or instances which were exceptional or unusual. A case study on an Article of the Charter might highlight a discussion on how that Article was interpreted, and show any relevant decisions that followed from the discussion.
An explicit reference is a direct mention of an Article of the Charter of the United Nations or a provisional rule of procedure. An implicit reference is an instance where a speaker or text has used language that is similar or identical to that found in an Article or rule of procedure, or that invokes the same principles. For example, any discussion of the principle of self-determination of peoples can be understood as an implicit reference to Article 1 (2) of the Charter. The Repertoire uses both implicit and explicit references to show how different aspects of Security Council practice can be understood.
What does the double asterisk (**) that are next to some headings mean?
Until the 1989-1992 volume, the double asterisk was used to indicate that there is no material for inclusion under certain parts and subsections. In general, this website does not provide links to sections under which no material has been included.
Instances where a negative vote was cast by a permanent member of the Security Council, so-called "veto", are featured in the Voting section of the Repertoire in cases when the vote indicated the non-procedural character of the matter. For more information, see also Voting System and Records.
Where can I find information regarding the Security Council's activity in connection to the situation in a specific country or on a specific topic?
The Security Council's activities concerning a particular situation or a thematic topic on its agenda are summarized in the section on Consideration of Questions under the Responsibility of the Council for the Maintenance of International Peace and Security.
In addition, information is available on specific themes of Security Council practice, such as:
participation in Council proceedings,
adoption of agenda,
sanctions,
peacekeeping missions,
Security Council missions,
use of force, or
cooperation with regional organizations.
According to Article 97 of the United Nations Charter, the Security Council first sends a recommendation to the General Assembly, which will then appoint the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General is appointed to a five-year term, and may serve up to two terms. For more information on the topic featured in the Repertoire, see the appointment of the Secretary-General in Relations with Other United Nations organs.

Welcome to Episode 82 of the Final Surge podcast with our guest this week Zach Cole. Zach has built a new website called Hopdash.com which is helping connect runners to running locations and groups. It is a great way to find a group to run with when you travel, or maybe just to discover new running areas in your city.
You launched a new site called Hopdash.com and I want to dig into it, but before we do that we like to introduce our listeners to our guests find out a little about who you are, if you could tell our listeners how you got started with running?
You talk about how you started running with a few groups, HopDash your new site is about running with groups, so can you give us a background on the site?
Do you find that groups are comprised of similar runners or are most groups varied in who is running with them?
When I look at your HopDash and I click on one of the cities, let's say Boston, on the right I see interesting places to run and then on the bottom I see a calendar and each day has a different set of runs and each of those runs dots in the upper corner, one green, two yellow, three orange dots what do those mean?
How does it work, who updates the workouts?
The interesting places to run, are they user-generated too?
How do I know if the group I am looking at is more casual vs more serious?
You are relying on user feedback and people entering their information, so how do you see this growing?
Who are some of the interesting people you have met while traveling?
What is the hardest or most memorable place you ran?
We see training professional groups forming around the country, but also we see many local training groups and running communities. Why do you think these are growing?

Oriental Orthodoxy in India is a minority that comprises millions within Christianity in India. There is major overlap between this, the Christians in Kerala and the St. Thomas Christians, the latter of whom trace themselves back to Apostle Thomas.

The Oriental Orthodox Churches in India are Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. Malabar Independent Syrian Church also follows the Oriental Orthodox tradition, but is not in communion with other churches in Oriental Orthodox family.

Innovation at the heart

Professor Paul Boyle, President and Vice-Chancellor, reflects on his first year in post and ambitious plans for the future
This article originally appeared on University Business here
This past year was quite a change for higher education, culminating in government plans that could usher in sweeping reforms. It has also been a landmark time for the University of Leicester and myself as its President and Vice-Chancellor.
My first calendar year in post here began with us looking back in history, with world-famous and literally ground-breaking research that led to the moving reinterment of King Richard III. But by September, we had our eyes firmly fixed on the future, with a new vision and direction for the university to establish a 'distinctive elite' in international higher education.
As I write, many of the changes to our mission and organisational structure are slotting into place. These are, in part, a response to challenges presented by government policies that have created a more market-orientated sector, which requires universities to think harder about what they do and provide that is distinctive and offers significant benefits to students, staff and stakeholders.
For our staff at Leicester, we have instituted a programme to nurture talent at all levels, provide support at different stages of the research career, and tackle any gender bias that might impede the progress of women who are still woefully under-represented in university senior management across the UK. We are proud to be one of ten global universities chosen to spearhead the United Nations Women's HeforShe campaign to involve more men and boys in supporting greater gender equality.
This is just one element in a transformative strategic plan to develop Leicester as an institution with innovation at its heart. It marks the start of a new era where we will pursue our vision of a discovery-led, research-intensive university which is inclusive and open to all who have talent.
The plan is the result of a year-long consultation with Leicester staff, governors, students and stakeholders. Among a number of deliverables, it will lead to the launch of a suite of interdisciplinary research institutes where Leicester can genuinely claim to have world-leading expertise. Our students will benefit from one of the most flexible degree curriculums in the UK, and the chance to engage in the kind of interdisciplinary research that made the Richard III discoveries possible.
We will continue to build on our distinctive approach of blending teaching and research. I think it is tremendously important that our students can expect to be taught by the leaders in their field, and our academic staff recognise the benefits to their world-class research of teaching and engaging with students. These are important points to consider as the government consults on its proposals for a Teaching Excellence Framework and conducts a review of research quality assessment and funding.
We also needed to look outside the institution both internationally and closer to home. We are immensely proud of our multicultural setting and I am committed to building on work with the city and beyond. Therefore this year we will launch PROUD, a commitment to work in and with the City of Leicester to help improve economic, social and cultural well-being, health and the environment.
Building academic links internationally is a priority and over the last year I have been heartened and inspired by the warmth towards the University of Leicester on my visits to Kurdistan in Iraq, China, Indonesia, Canada, USA, Japan and India. We have ambitious plans in a number of these countries.
Of course, it doesn't stop here. Over the next five years we plan to invest in our campus and further develop the university. I think that changing times offer opportunities to be more adventurous and more ambitious. As long as we remain focused on the value of our distinctive qualities, we will have an even greater impact upon global scholarship and innovation.
