What is the CFPB and Why Do We Care?
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an independent government agency created as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank legislation. Its primary purpose is to protect consumers from deceptive practices of financial companies such as the mortgage activities of Wall Street brokerage firms that contributed to the Great Recession.
The agency is receiving quite a bit of press these days as its first Director, Richard Cordray, just resigned from that position. Some of the issues being debated in the court of public opinion include whether Cordray or President Trump has the ability to appoint the next Director, whether the agency should be funded through the appropriations process (it currently is not) and whether this independent agency should have no Congressional oversight or accountability.
As CEO of Day Air Credit Union, I firmly support financial protection of consumers. Credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives, so nothing is more important than protection of consumers from the unfair, deceptive or abusive practices of banks, brokerage firms or any other company that breaks the law.
President Trump, who is known to resort to some hyperbole on occasion, has called the CFPB "a total disaster". While I wouldn't go that far, I'm looking forward to a directional change of the agency under the new leadership of Mick Mulvaney. Credit unions have long advocated for common sense regulations. The agency created to protect consumers from the abuses of Wall Street firms should be focused on those bad actors (i.e. the big banks such as Wells Fargo). Rather than regulating from this common sense perspective, credit unions such as Day Air have been subjected to a one size fits all, onerous compliance burden. Congress specifically gave the CFPB the power to exempt community banks and credit unions from its regulatory edict, but that power has rarely been used.
In the nine years since the Great Recession, the four "too big to fail" banks (Chase, Wells, Bank of America, Citigroup) have increased market share tremendously, while the number of community banks and credit unions have declined at a rate in excess of over one institution per day. The CFPB penalized Wells Fargo for its egregious actions of illegally creating consumer accounts to meet sales quotas and those penalties should be applauded. However, given the massive size of Wells Fargo (it dwarfs the total assets of all 5,800 credit unions in the country combined) the amount of the fine was no more than a slap on the wrist.
American consumers deserve better. The CFPB should focus its efforts on the huge Wall Street firms who take advantage of consumers. Regulations tailored for those Wall Street companies should be very different than those that impact the local, Main Street financial institutions that are integral parts of our community.

How to Help Your Child Stop Bedwetting
Prevention and Treatment Though it's almost never related to a serious medical ailment, bedwetting can have a huge impact on families.
Dr. Peter Anderson
Professor, Department of Urology, Dalhousie University, Staff Physician, IWK Health Centre
Though it's almost never related to a serious medical ailment, bedwetting can have a huge impact on families. Children with the condition may suffer embarrassment and social anxiety, and parents may struggle to deal with bedtimes that have become fraught with tension and a sense of dread.
"While bedwetting is not life-threatening, for some kids it's quite debilitating," explains Dr. Peter Anderson, Professor in the Department of Urology at Dalhousie University and Staff Physician at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "It affects whether they can go to camp or go on sleepovers. For some children, it really does influence their social development rather significantly."
Bedwetting is normal
Dr. Anderson is quick to point out that bedwetting in itself is not necessarily a problem. It's estimated that 15 to 20 percent of 5-year olds wet the bed, and this number decreases consistently as a child ages. "It's important to understand that for most kids the issue of bedwetting naturally resolves itself, and by the age of 15 only one percent of kids are still having issues with nighttime urination," he explains.
Determining whether bedwetting is a serious condition has a lot to do with a child's age and how the family is handling the issue. "From a practical perspective, bedwetting becomes a problem when it's bothering the child. That's an important distinction, because there are lots of 5-year olds whose parents are concerned, but the child doesn't care at all. In that case, we evaluate the child and make sure they don't have a serious underlying condition, which is rare. If the kid is healthy, we reassure the parents their child is, in fact, normal and that 1 in 5 children aged five has this condition."
Generally, bedwetting becomes a concern for a child around the age of seven or eight. "At this age kids often start saying 'I wish I wasn't doing this', depending on their maturity level and their social circumstances," says Dr. Anderson.
A variety of solutions
In treating the condition, there are a variety of approaches to consider. "We start with obvious stuff, like how much fluid the child consumes in the evening and whether or not they use the washroom to empty their bladder before they go to bed," he notes. "These are easy things to control. If the child is just five or six, we might also recommend wearing nighttime bedwetting underwear."
If, as the child ages, bedwetting is still an issue, the most popular non-medical approach is a conditioning alarm system whereby an alarm goes off when the child wets the bed. "The brain learns over time that if it suppresses the bladder from emptying then that annoying alarm doesn't go off," explains Dr. Anderson.
However, in some cases, children may find the diapers to be embarrassing, or families may find the alarm to be disruptive. If this is the case, parents should talk to their children's doctor about the pharmaceutical option, which is covered by provincial health insurance in most provinces. "The main medical therapy is a synthetic, man-made version of the hormone vasopressin. The medication is taken nightly and reduces the amount of urine that the kidneys actually produce. The bladder doesn't fill because the kidneys haven't made much urine, so the bladder doesn't feel like it needs to empty."
Dr. Anderson also notes that the medication generally has only minor side effects and comes in an easy-to-use melting formulation. "The tablet melts in your mouth with a mildly pleasant taste, which is wonderful because lots of kids find it difficult to take pills. It also makes it simple to get the dosage correct."
The medicine can be very useful in the short term until the bedwetting corrects itself. "It's a good option for kids because it's easy, discreet to take, and kids can also feel confident about going into a social situation like a sleepover."

At the request of life is a bowl of kibble, I have created a page (Creative crap w/out Words) up above, below my lovely title, to display my creative pursuits around the house. Basically, taking something old and ugly and making it look nice…at least to me. I can't wait to see what I can do with myself and my husband when we get really old and ugly. OR….older and uglier. Whatever!
Oooh, ooh, redo me, please!
You need to be redone already? Say it isn't so…or…do you mean later on?
Well there is a reason that there is no picture … and yes — I need to be redone. I am 54.5 — actually closer to 55.0 but there's a story there. I STILL need redecorating.
A nip, a tuck, total body sculpting. Pasting with scrapbook paper. Something. I put myself in your hands. Not for lovin' though. This is strictly paper-ternal.
Is the story that you had 54 birthdays and will be having another one soon?
I don't work with cutlery, but I should sure paste the hell out of you. Damn….and here I thought I had a Plan B if my hubby didn't work out. Oh well, I guess I'll keep him.
Yeah, you can keep him — my income is not great enough to cover scrapbooking materials. But I am looking forward to being pasted. Usually at this time of year I'm looking forward to being wasted, but hey, what's in a letter.
And yup, my b-day is next month.
Well, you certainly have to get pasted and wasted for your birthday. I know what you mean about a letter though. Drank, spank, drunk, skunk, toasted, roasted…….a lot of those go hand and hand.
The way you play with words…..you can't possibly be as sweet and nice as you sound. Could you?
I love stuff like that, especially when you get it cheap or for free. I've gotten quite a few pieces that way.
I give you props though. I just don't have the patience to strip anything. I tried to strip, sand and stain an old piece of furniture and it looked horrible. Hence….cut and paste.

Ceiling light that casts a soft radiant light. The design of the lampshade is inspired by hanging bunches of grapes.
A simple and elegant ceiling light made of white-painted metal with chrome details. The stripped-back design of the light fitting makes it blend in well in many different environments: everything from libraries to offices. The ceiling light's lampshade is constructed in several tiers to ressemble a hanging bunch of grapes and to give off a soft, diffused and radiant light. The chromed details on the top of the lampshade represent the stem of the grape cluster.

Q: Asp.net website project targeting 4.7.2 cannot resolve .netstandard 2.0 reference using MSBuild I have a .net 4.0 asp.net website (the old ones, with no .csproj).
This references a .net framework 4.0 class library (Shared Library A).
I have added a new .net core API project to the solution.
This project also needs to talk to Shared Library A.
The solution (I thought) was to move the class library to .net standard 2.0 and then move the website to 4.7.2 which would allow it to reference the .net standard 2.0 project.
To do this I changed the web config for the website so that:
 <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.2">
 <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10000" executionTimeout="1000" requestValidationMode="2.0" targetFramework="4.7.2"/>

This all works in Visual Studio. The solution builds, the website runs & the code in the .netstandard2.0 library functions as expected and is debuggable.
I know Visual Studio does some things differently to MSBuild.exe.
The problem is that our CI server cannot build the solution, and neither can "MSBuild.exe" locally.
The command I am running is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" "[Path to Solution]\AT3.sln"

I then get the error:
 warning MSB3268: The primary reference "C:\Work\AT3\at3\wrld\AT3.Common.Utilit ies\bin\Debug\netstandard2.0\AT3.Application.Utilities.dll" could not be resolved because it has an indirect depende ncy on the framework assembly "netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" which  could not be resolved in the currently targeted framework. ".NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2". To resolve this problem,  either remove the reference "C:\Work\AT3\at3\wrld\AT3.Common.Utilities\bin\Debug\netstandard2.0\AT3.Application.Uti lities.dll" or retarget your application to a framework version which contains "netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Cultur e=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51"

To try and solve this I added the following line to the  section of my web.config:
 <add assembly="netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51"/>

My question is:
How can I get this .netstandard2.0 project to resolve using MSBuild.exe?
Can a website actually be "4.7.2" and succesfully reference .net standard, or is visual studio lying to me by saying it can?
Notes:
I know we need to move the website to a web project.
I'm just hoping that this isn't the only solution to this issue as it is a bit of a monolithic website.
Our plan is to start slowly migrating code out of App_Code into the .netstandard2.0 libraries.
Thankyou in advance.

A: I just learned from my colleague.
You can try add reference in the .Net Standard library's csproj file as below.
This works for me.
<Reference Include="netstandard">
  <Private>True</Private>
</Reference>

A: We had a similar issue. In our case, we were able to modify the nuget package to support multiple target frameworks. We added explicit support for 4.7.2 additional to netstandard.

Although slabs, concrete and wooden bases all have their merits, they also come with quite a few disadvantages. Plastic shed bases on the other hand have very few disadvantages, it's just that the majority of people never consider them as an option – to be honest, the majority of people are yet to discover them. Due to being relatively new to the market compared to veterans like slabs and concrete, when you search online for "what's the best material for a shed base?", unless you're looking at a relatively recent article, plastic bases are unlikely to feature. However, there are plenty of reasons that they definitely should.

Mendocino Deputy uses NARCAN to save man after suspected opioid overdose
After suspected opioid overdose
By Ukiah Daily Journal | udj@ukiahdj.com |
On January 9 at 4:16 p.m., a Mendocino County Sheriff's Office deputy was on routine patrol in Ukiah, the sheriff's office said in a press release.
While driving in the 100 blocks of North Orchard Avenue, the deputy was flagged down by a motorist that was parked in the roadway and obstructing traffic.
Upon finding the motorist, the deputy was told that a man was laying on the sidewalk that was unresponsive and appeared in need of medical aid.
The deputy immediately radioed a request for medical responders and began providing first responder treatment to the unidentified man. The deputy quickly determined the man would not respond to verbal commands or nerve stimulus application techniques.
Believing the man was having an opioid overdose-related event, the deputy administered a 4-milligram dose of NARCAN to the man. The man immediately responded to the opioid antidote medication and began to awaken.
The fire department and ambulance personnel arrived and took over medical treatment before transporting the man to the Ukiah Valley Medical Center.
In April 2019, the Mendocino County sheriff's office began to issue NARCAN® (Naloxone HCI) nasal spray to its employees as part of their assigned personal protective equipment.
MCSO's goal is to protect the public and officers from opioid overdoses. Access to naloxone is now considered vital, according to the U.S. The Center for Disease Control.
The California Opioid Overdose Surveillance Dashboard reports Mendocino County ranks, per capita, third in all opioid overdose deaths in the state. (https://discovery.cdph.ca.gov/CDIC/ODdash/)
Narcan nasal spray is widely known to reverse opioid overdose situations in adults and children. Each nasal spray device contains a four-milligram dose, according to the manufacturer.
Naloxone Hydrochloride, more commonly known by the brand name NARCAN, blocks the life-threatening effects of opioid overdose (both medications and narcotics), including extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing, or loss of consciousness.
The antidote can reverse the effects of an overdose for up to an hour, but anyone who administers the overdose reversal medication in a non-medical setting is advised to seek emergency medical help right away.
The spray units can also be used by public safety professionals who are unknowingly or accidentally exposed to potentially fatal amounts of fentanyl from skin absorption or inhalation.
The issuance of the Narcan nasal units, thus far, has been to employees assigned to the Field Services Division and the Mendocino County jail medical staff. Employees are required to attend training prior to being issued the medication.
The Mendocino County HHSA Public Health provided the Narcan nasal units to the sheriff's office free of charge as part of the Free Narcan Grant from the California Department of Public Health.
Since the April 2019 issuance, there have been three separate situations wherein Mendocino County sheriff's office patrol deputies have administered Narcan and saved the lives of three people in need of the life-saving antidote medication.

Q: Is there a WordPress boolean for "theme_customizer_active()"? Looking to add an action to wp_head but only if the user is in "theme customizer" mode.  Does anyone know if there's a conditional for this?

A: If you mean a hook that fires when you are actually customizing the theme at wp-admin/customizer.php, with the tool bar on the left, then there are several hooks on that page. For example (but not an exhaustive list)...
do_action( 'customize_controls_init' );
// ...
do_action( 'customize_controls_enqueue_scripts' );

You should be able to narrow things down with the available hooks. I don't know if a boolean is set anywhere, such as a constant like WP_DEBUG

A: Hook a function to the customize_preview_init action. In that function, do your add_action for the wp_head.
The customize_preview_init action runs in the call that renders the frame that the preview page is displayed on, and happens early enough to hook onto wp_head.

I really love this item. I have a pruning knife from a japanese manufacturer and I consider the one from AM Leonard to be far superior as to its ability to prune with ease and as to the feel of the knife in my hand. The japanese one is all steel and it just does not feel like the one I bought from this Company. I use it frequently like all the items I buy from AM Leonard. They are very well made and last for years. They receive a good work out here in my Northeast Ohio garden!

NIPC warns against increased DDoS attacks
There is a high probability that the US is being targeted for distributed denial of service attacks by cyberprotestors, according...
There is a high probability that the US is being targeted for distributed denial of service attacks by cyberprotestors, according to a warning issued on 2 November by the FBI's cybersecurity arm.
Denial of service (DoS) attacks are those in which a target computer system is flooded with false requests for information to the point that it is unable to respond to legitimate requests, so it denies them service. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks use multiple computers worldwide to launch their attacks and are harder to combat.
DDoS attacks knocked high-profile sites such as Amazon, Yahoo, and eBay offline over the course of a week in February 2000.
Online protests, both for and against the US, have been frequent since September 11, but have largely been limited to Web site defacements, the NIPC said. Although the DDoS activity that has gone on so far has been minimal, and mostly limited to attacks between protest groups, protestors have indicated that US infrastructure will be a target, the NIPC said. But it also said that businesses and organisations unrelated to the September 11 attacks could be targets.
The NIPC cautioned organisations to "take a defensive posture and remain vigilant". The centre also referred systems administrators to a list of best security practices offered by the government-funded security research body CERT/CC.
One company that tracks DoS and DDoS activity, SecurityFocus, has not seen much evidence that such an attack is imminent. SecurityFocus monitors corporate networks in more than 138 countries to determine and predict attack trends and patterns.
Although SecurityFocus had detected a 3% rise in the rate of communication between master computers that would control DDoS attacks and the systems used to launch the attacks, this is not a significant increase, said Arthur Wong, the company's chief executive. The master computers are ostensibly operated by hackers and would use systems called zombies to launch the attacks.
The cyberprotest groups mentioned by the NIPC have been active, but their activities have so far been small scale, Wong said. "Since September, there hasn't been a lot of significant [attack] traffic," he said. This may signal that people are beginning to be more reluctant to launch frivolous attacks, although at the same time Wong cautioned that this means that "when you do get attacks, they're going to be more serious".
Even if attacks are not an immediate threat, organisations should heed the NIPC's advice and take steps to better secure their systems, Wong said.

London's newest Underground line helped build a bird sanctuary

Crossrail, the company building London's Elizabeth Underground line, teamed up with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) to create a new bird sanctuary. To build the Elizabeth line, which spans 73 miles and cost nearly £19 billion, Crossrail dug up over seven million tonnes of soil. Half of it was shipped to the Essex coast via boats, where the materials were used to build sea defences, and restore lagoons and mudflats once lost to agriculture and coastal erosion.

Q: Hyperlink is showing as a STRING. Outlook Task for creating email holders I've tried all my luck, but I still can't figure out why my task.Body is not printing the Hyperlink that I want it to be.
I've tried changing it to HTMLBody, changing the bodyformat to 2 for it to be an HTML, Tried formatting it differently but I still get the same results.
I tried using HTMLBody but I get "property htmlbody cannot be set".
shortenedLink = f'Hyperlink'

inviteItem.Body = shortenedLink
inviteItem.Save()
inviteItem.Display(true)

A: TaskItem object does not expose the HTMLBody property the way MailItem object does, even though Outlook is perfectly capable of displaying HTML in the UI.
You have a couple of options:

*

*Set the TaksItem.RTFBody instead. It is a binary (array) property, so the best way to figure out the value to be set is to take a look at an existing task with the RTF body set and use it as a template. At run-time, you can replace a placeholder and insert your own url in the array to be assigned to the RTFBody property. Note that OOM has a bug that prevents the RTFBody property from being set using late binding (like you'd be doing in Python or VBA), only early binding via the TaskItem interface works. You can take a look at the RTF body of an existing task with OutlookSpy (I am its author) - select or open a task in Outlook, click IMessage button, select the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED property.

*If using Redemption is an option (I am also its author), it exposes RDOTaskItem.HTMLBody property.

A: The TaskItem class doesn't provide the HTMLBody property. Instead, you need to use the RTFBody one if you want to use any formatting in the message body. The property returns or sets a Byte array that represents the body of the Microsoft Outlook item in Rich Text Format.
But there is a trick - to use RTF markup in the body of a task, simply try to use the Body property. Setting this property to a byte array containing RTF will automatically use that RTF in the body. Concretely, to get the body you want, you could use the following code:
task.Body = rb'{\rtf1{Here is the }{\field{\*\fldinst { HYPERLINK "https://www.python.org" }}{\fldrslt {link}}}{ I need}}'

La Virgin Classics è una etichetta sussidiaria della EMI specializzata nella produzione di dischi di musica classica.

Storia

La Virgin Classics nasce come etichetta facente parte della Virgin Records per la produzione di dischi di musica classica.  A capo della Virgin Classics c'era Simon Forster, un manager che già prima aveva diretto la collana Classics for Pleasure ed Eminence della EMI, e che nel giro di alcuni anni realizza un catalogo di importanti registrazioni.

Nel 1987 l'etichetta discografica Virgin Records viene acquisita da parte del gruppo EMI e con essa viene ceduto anche il comparto classico della Virgin Classics. I manager della EMI, visto l'eccezionale catalogo della Virgin Classics, decidono di mantenere in vita questa etichetta affiancandola alla EMI Classics.

Dal 1996 la presidenza viene data ad Alain Lanceron e la sede diventa Parigi .

Nel 2012 il comparto EMI Classics e Virgin Classics è ceduto alla Universal Music Group la quale a sua volta nel 2013 lo cede alla Warner Music Group. Nel luglio 2013 la Warner annuncia che il catalogo EMI Classics passerà alla Warner Classics mentre quello della Virgin Classics verrà assorbito all'interno del catalogo Erato .

La serie Virgin Veritas

All'interno del catalogo della Virgin Classics è presente una collana discografica, la "Virgin Veritas", dedicata alle incisioni di musica antica e barocca eseguita da interpreti fedeli alla prassi esecutiva del tempo e le cui interpretazioni sono su strumenti originali dell'epoca.

In questa serie troviamo le incisioni di musica barocca di Fabio Biondi con l'Europa Galante, Andrew Parrott con il Taverner Consort and Players, Alan Curtis e il Complesso Barocco, l'Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Sono anche presenti dischi di musica dei compositori del periodo classico e romantico eseguite da Roger Norrington con i London Classical Players.

In questa collana sono talvolta confluite registrazioni realizzate precedentemente dalla EMI nella serie "Reflexe". Tra gli interpreti più significativi in quest'ambito troviamo le prime incisioni di musica antica di Jordi Savall con l'Hespèrion XX e quelle di Hans-Martin Linde con il Linde Consort.

The New 'Bush' Doctrine: Nirmalangshu Mukherjee
28/05/2010 Aditya Nigam 21 Comments
Guest post by NIRMALANGSHU MUKHERJEE
A well-known left intellectual in Delhi, belonging to one of the naxalite "splinter groups"–the term is Arundhati Roy's to distinguish the maoists from everyone else in the naxalite movement–recently advised me that, whatever be the objections to the CPI (Maoist), we must side with them in their struggle against the state. The argument obviously is that the historical choice is binary is character: either you are with the state or against it. And the underlying assumption is that those who are against the state are somehow "with" the people. Since the maoists are (apparently) against the state, they must be viewed as "with" the people, warts and all. In not siding with the maoists then, intellectuals like Apoorvanand and others in the Kafila forum are actually siding with the state, according to the doctrine.
The state certainly believes in the binary doctrine. Mr. Chidambaram has characterised all "civil society" forums that are strongly critical of his murderous approach to the "maoist menace" as maoist supporters since their criticism of the government is helping the maoists as. The doctrine was earlier put into actual practice in Chhattisgarh when the state applied CSPSA against Binayak Sen. More recently, the doctrine was applied at the street level when hordes of Congress and BJP workers attacked the peace mission undertaken by Yash Pal, Swami Agnivesh, Narayan Desai, and others; they were characterized as "maobadis" since the peace mission appealed to both the sides to stop violence. Gautam Navlakha and Sumonto Bannerjee adopted the doctrine from the other direction as they protested against the peace mission as well. The peace mission predictably collapsed.
The CPM has long held the doctrine. Although in private (and due to the unbearable burden of their leftist credentials) they do complain about the "security-centric" approach of the government–and have been somewhat critical of the Salwa Judum campaign–they are not prepared to voice these concerns in public because then they will be viewed by Chidambaram as anti-state; hence, pro-maoist. They would rather be viewed as siding with Chidambaram than with Ganapathi & Co.
The maoists are also strong supporters of this doctrine, especially during "war times". And, as usual, they take their doctrines to the people, namely, the tribals they control. To cite from Apoorvanand's recent piece, a circular issued by the 'Janadhan Sarkar' very clearly forbids the tribals from mixing with Jawans or police, inviting them to village for any event , providing them food or shelter, giving any service to the security persons, or travelling with them, including the police, CRPF , SPOs or the CRPF . They have also been asked to keep track of the number of policemen in their area and also the arms they carry and report to the 'Janadhan Sarkar' their movement and destination. The message is clear: if any tribal fails to obey these orders, the tribal would be viewed as not supporting the "revolution"; hence, the tribal would be viewed as with the enemy. It is the maoist version of UAPA, it turns an entire population of tribals into Special Maoist Officers. Not surprisingly, there is no protest against this from the promoters of "Campaign against war on people".
As another grass roots worker–well-known in Delhi–from another "splinter group" told me, lessons from history help. He recalled that George Bush famously proclaimed, "You are either with us or against us": choose between Bush and Bin Laden. In that instance, the comrade reminded me, the civilised world denied Bush his binary choices. Should we then have to choose between Chidambaram as he deploys his terror forces around tribal habitats and the maoist leadership as they push thousands and thousands of starving tribal chidren–dressed up as militias and guerrillas–to face Chidambaram's forces? Did we take a close look at the face of Barsa Lakhma, the alleged "commander", recently arrested in Bastar (The Hindu, 25 May)? How old does he look like? What are the choices now for the civilised world as Barsa Lakhma undergoes torture?

suresh says:
Thanks for the mention of Barsa Lakhma but you didn't give a direct link which I am giving:
http://bit.ly/9AVU7x
First, the photo is deeply disturbing. Second, the underlying story about the loss of a wireless set leading to the killing of 76 CRPF personnel doesn't sound particularly plausible. Third, The Hindu has just passed on the statements of the police without comment which is even more disturbing. Given the history of the Chattisgarh police, one would have thought that the newspaper and its correspondents would at least subject the police to a few questions – how did the police capture the suspected killers? what led the police to these five? did the police capture them without resistance? and so on. Yet, we have nothing – not even a question about the age of Barsa Lakhma.
Nirmalangshu says:
The question about Barsa Lakhma's age is discussed at http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?265603
In this piece I use the words "alleged" and put the words "leader" and "commander" in quotes. If The Hindu carried a false story as a leading head in the frontpage, they are answerable.
In any case, true or false, Barsa Lakhma's case opens up the wider case of Maoists' use of children in combat.
Times Now has reported Lakhma's age as 22 here: http://www.timesnow.tv/articleshow/4345893.cms
Saw the Times Now report. The trouble is, as I suggested in my Outlook piece, Barsa Lakhma cannot be allowed to be a juvenile because then he cannot be treated "properly". Did you notice that wrapper around him? These wrappers always tell a story.
rohit negi says:
To go with your argument.
This morning there is news that Maoists in West Bengal derailed a train, killing scores of passengers (civilians and working class; rich Indians fly). The question of tactics and the relationship of the general and particular are raised here again. Such attacks, among others, have three results: 1) satisfy some of the attackers' 'demolition' fetish; 2) undermine the support and sympathy from the civil society for the resistance; 3) lead to reprisals from the state and with it, to further militarization.
Is this in the interest of the locals who are fighting particular battles over land, resources and caste or some combination of these factors depending on the context?
One can foresee the might of the Indian state unleashed on the residents at large. Many will die, many more will be rounded up and tortured. The Maoist leadership will recede into the forests and bide their time; they are, as Marx and Engels put in the Manifesto, in it for the long haul. For them, militarization forces villagers and tribals into the 'Bush binary'–you are with 'us' or with 'them'. Escalation serves their revolutionary agenda.
This point actually raises other questions about the strategy of 'radicals' everywhere. One theme that translates is related to the interests and place of the particular (in this case, tribals' local battles' or lets say, a workplace action) and the general (long-term goal of revolution). As radicals, we are mostly gladdened by escalations (IED blast; strike) and have little to lose–existentially–when the other side retaliates (torture; dismissals). We dust ourselves and move on to the next site of 'action'.
pheeta ram says:
//What are the choices now for the civilized world as Barsa Lakhma undergoes torture//
Dear Nirmalnagshu, "the civilized world" has always been another planet for Barsa Lakhmas and i am sure he expects nothing from the likes of us, for what can we give him? (I appreciate whoever took that point blank c/u of Barsa Lakhma. It sure disturbs us or should I say shames us). The 'civilized world' has always had choices, its people like Barsa Lakhmas whose always already narrow field of choices has been narrowed down further in the last few years or months to be precise. Recently, i happened to meet somebody considered a big shot in the englit world, an old pal actually, and he confessed on-the-rocks that Arundhati Roy has rattled many a so called literary reputations through her recent walk with the comrades. Literary appreciation of Arundhati or to be more precise, leisure class consumption, would no longer be that smooth. She has popped a bitter pill of quinine down the throats of those who are addicted to finer flavours of continental spirits.
How old should one be to deserve a permit to fight for one's existence in the jungles of Dantewada? Its an existential question. Should you be a constitutionally ratified adult or medically proven post-puberty adolescent? Or, is it, that you should be able to just handle a gun or least of all be able to chuck a stone at your enemies who threaten you with decimation? Since the 'civilized world' didn't care for Barsa Lakhma should he care for our three penny intellectual mastication? Now, as for "The New 'Bush' Doctrine": I think we should be all praise for PC, at least he is convinced that he is right and that there are only two positions in this historical struggle. He does not want the leisure class to enjoy its chilled beer and curse him too. You decide your side: he is trying to make the fence razor thin so that fence-sitters can no longer eat their cake and have it too. PC knows that there comes a time when the world should become b/w even if for a short while. I read you are a philosophy professor and as far as i know even if it were a pseudo problem it sure deserves a 32 page long philosophical rumination for Barsa Lakhma can't invite anybody for a walk anymore.
Aditya Nigam says:
How interesting Pheeta's admiration for Chidambaram. From the Islamic terrorists to the Hindutva goons and the Maoists, everyone hates those and only those who refuse to take sides with them. There is a larger affinity here among all these forces who want to become the only voice of those whom they claim to represent. And what better than to hide behind revolutionary verbiage and hot air, and put out Barsa Lakhma's face up to hide your despicable game of armed gangsterism – the latest being now in Jhargram. Class struggle? Revolution? My foot.
Your queries about the "proper" age for a child to take up arms was answered from a "marxist" perspective by none other than Ganapathy as follows.
"As regards training minors under 18 years in the use of arms, we wish to make it clear that our policy and the PLGA [People's Liberation Guerrilla Army] constitution stipulate that no one should be taken into the army without attaining 16 years of age. And this age limit is strictly followed while recruiting. In the specific conditions prevailing in the war zone [Dantewada and Bijapur districts of Chhattisgarh] children attain mental and political maturity by the time they complete 16 because they are directly or indirectly involved in the revolutionary activity from their very childhood. They receive basic education and political training early in their lives and have organisational experience as members of bala sangam (children's associations)…. When the enemy [Salwa Judum and police] is erasing every norm of international law, the oppressed people have the full right to arm themselves and fight. Making a fuss over age makes no meaning in a situation where the enemies of the people are targeting children too without any mercy. If the boys and girls do not do resist with arms they will be eliminated completely. The intellectuals of the civil society should understand this most inhumane and cruel situation created by the enemy and take the side of the people instead of pushing them more into defensive by raising all sorts of idealistic objections." (Letter from Ganapathi, secretary general, CPI (Maoist), to the Independent Citizen's Initiative, October 10, 2006, para. 5
http://www.cgnet.in/N1/maoistreplytoici/view?searchterm=reply (accessed February 20, 2008).
I won't be surprised if there are similar remarks by Prabhakaran. Looks as though the "Independent Citizen's Initiative" and other "intellectuals of the civil society" were convinced by Ganapathy's argument since I do not recall any further fuss—"idealistic objections"—by anyone thereafter. For example, PUCL produced an excellent document at about the same time, "Where the State Makes War on its Own People, A Report on Violations of People's Rights during the Salwa Judum Campaign in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh", 2006. Did they ever produce a document "Where the revolutionaries recruit children for war"? Needless to say, I will be much relieved if I am proved wrong about the silence.

can someone send this work to arundhati? also, i would like the kafila people to read this not very famous book:the ethics of ambiguity by simone de beauvoir. and, perhaps, we could discuss it. thanks.

Nirmalansanghu has become the mostly read philosopher in CPI(M) circles. Go to any CPM blogs and online sites, you will find Nirmalansanghu's article. Great going, I must say.
Nirmalangshu Mukherji says:
I will be indebted if you list those blogs and online sites please, since you are obviously more familiar with them than I am. I will love to look at them. By the way my pieces have appeared in naxalite journals as well such as Red Star. I sent the paper "Arms Over People" to Sanhati as well who failed to post it. Whose side are we on?
Uday Singh says:
Nirmalangshu Mukherji,
In the age of the internet you do not need any external
help. Go to google and give Nirmalangshu Mukherji CPI(M) and you will find references to your some of your articles in pro-CPI(M) websites. Indeed I know you will
love to look at them.
Hope that Mr. Nirmalagshu Mukherji will also take note of the pictures inserted in this news story.

While reassuring yourself for the enthusiastic response that you get to your articles from both cpi(m) and rss, you may pose the qstn- whose side we are on- to yourself….
reader says:
One down from NM's hit list. He must be joyous?
Azad's was not a fake enough encounter I guess. Not enough to pick up the pen atleast. Whose side are you on, NM?
Dear Nirmalangshu,
May I ask if anyone has followed up on Barsa Lakhma? It is nearly four months since his "capture" by the Chhattisgarh police. Is he alive? Dead?
I know probably not many care — not even myself. But once in a while, his face comes back to haunt me.
Dear Suresh,
Sorry about the delayed response; saw it today. I tried to follow that case too through contacts in Chattisgarh. I was told that arrested cadres are out of bounds for journalists, and lawyers are not very helpful understandably. The state is very protective of its catches; it is also concerned about its violations of UN conventions. The maoists of course don't care, for there are plenty of Barsa Lakhmas in waiting.
Reading Aman and Supriya's reports from Dantewada, there's much to haunt our comfortable studies in Delhi. I am greatly grieved that the country is not up in arms in outrage about what's happening to the adivasis there. Is it because even rights activists do not quite think of the adivasis as citizens proper, but as cannon fodder for imagined revolutionary upsurge?
A recent short study based on "interrogation reports" suggests that Barse Lakhma is "all of 25" although he joined the movement when he was 15. (See Saikat Dutta, "Was there a choice?", Outlook Magazine, july 25, 2011. http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?277653)
The reassuring thing is that Barse Lakhma seems to be alive. But do we know his age? What is deceptive, looks or police reports? Incidentally, Chhattisgarh police have a profound "anthropological" view on this topic. According them, these adivasis are not like "us". Perhaps a different species altogether. They look younger when they are older, and older when they are younger. This causes all sorts of problems in dealing with them, naturally. See HRW report "Being neutral is our biggest crime."
Thanks for the update and the links to the article in Outlook and the Human Rights Watch report. For those interested, I am giving the direct link to the HRW report.
As you say, it is reassuring that Barse Lakhma is alive but that is not much at all. At any rate, your point about the use of children in the conflict still stands because even by the Chhattisgarh police report, Barse Lakhma joined the Maoists when he was 15 years old.
I appreciate your response though it hurts to think about the probable fate of Barsa Lakhma and many others like him.
Your point that perhaps "we" (the elite, including rights activists) do not see Adivasis as "citizens proper" is right, I think, and reminded me of the speech that the great Jaipal Singh made to the Constituent Assembly which began As a jungli, as an adibasi, I am not expected to understand the legal intricacies of the Resolution. But my common sense tells me that every one of us should march in that road to freedom and fight together.
It hurts to see that little has changed for the Adivasis since that speech in 1946-47, a point made by Ramachandra Guha in his Adviasis, Naxalites and Indian Democracy. As a side note, it is shocking that there is no biography of this remarkable man.
Thank you, but I think I am trying to make a more specific point beyond "elitism" verging on racism. I talked to two prominent rights people about the plight of children under the state and under the maoists. The first launched into a historical lesson into China, Vietnam, and other theatres of revolution. The second–who is actually involved with maoist "problem"–suggested that there will be collateral damages until the violence ends. Hope this gives long term solace to the parents of Barsa Lakhma.
I wonder if those–and you know some of them–who applaud the maoists for their military successes will send their own children to become guerrillas. I know of at least one case in which the concerned child attends an elite private school. Somehow Barsa Lakhma does not qualify due to his leafy location.
Thanks, Suresh. I am grateful you are standing by these children in Bastar. The HRW report is a long one. Here is the actual quote. This is how the "famous" Superintendent of Police Vishwa Ranjan states the problem: "There are many reports of underage SPOs but it's not true. Age is very difficult to assess. Tribal communities have a peculiar way of aging. They look very young even if they are not very young and then after a particular age, they begin to age very fast—so suddenly they look very old when they are actually not that old." Also, "we cannot go by their height and looks because the tribal build is different." (See Human Rights Watch, Being Neutral Is Our Biggest Crime, p. 128)..

The Lazaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid
To celebrate our anniversary, we went to Madrid. It was our first visit. We chose Madrid partly because it is the home of Nancy, the sister of a friend from my New York schooldays, and her husband José.
The four of us arranged to meet outside the Prado. I had not seen Nancy for many, many years, but I recognized her immediately. She still had the almost flush, pinkish glow, the wavy, reddish blonde hair and the deep, authoritative voice, spoken from the diaphragm, that she had when we were teenagers. With Nancy in the lead, we strolled to the Circulo de Bellas Artes of Madrid, a private cultural establishment dating from 1880. There one finds a cinema, theatre, lecture and exhibition halls, artists' workshops, a library, a café and restaurant. Its present home was designed by Antonio Palacio, a Spanish architect notable for his powerful and monumental designs. We ventured to the top of the building to gaze at Madrid's rooftops.
Having sensed that we felt a little overwhelmed by the Prado – there was so much to see and digest in this vast museum, and it was very crowded – Nancy suggested that we went to the Circulo's mezzanine to see an exhibition of rediscovered Spanish Civil War negatives by the photojournalists Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and 'Chim' (David Seymour). The material was found in 2007, in a suitcase in Mexico. We savoured the intimacy of the galleries and having the time and space to think about the disturbing images and the circumstances surrounding them.
The next morning, again thanks to Nancy, we discovered the José Lázaro Galdiano Museum, in Madrid's quiet and elegant Salamanca district. An obituary written for the College Art Journal by Walter Cook, a former director of the New York University Institute of Fine Arts and scholar of Spanish art, said that José Lázaro Galdiano (1862–1947) will be remembered for his 'passion for great masterpieces of art, his animated and vivacious spirit, his gracious courtesy and charming personality'. Unfortunately, this distinguished patron of the arts is not well known or appreciated outside Spain; and there are few substantial sources in English that explore his life, work and art collection.
Upon his death, Galdiano bequeathed his art collection, library and magnificent Neo-Renaissance residence, Parque Florido Palace, to the Spanish government. Afterwards, in 1948, the Fundación Lázaro Galdiano was established in order to house the library and undertake further research about Spanish culture. (The Foundation's offices are next door to the Museum.) The collection was housed in Galdiano's former residence, which was opened to the public in 1951. (Cook, in 1962, described its 'early days' in the Art Journal, but the building was extensively refurbished recently to display about half the collection in a relatively more themed and ordered manner.)
Galdiano's eclectic art collection, of some 13,000 works, was amassed for the most part while travelling with his wealthy Argentine wife, Paula Florido, and during extended stays in New York and Paris. Our visit revealed an extremely rich collection of treasures chosen for their value as objects of history, rarity or beauty: secular and religious manuscripts and engravings, jewellery, ivories, enamels, bronzes, fans, textiles, medals, armour and furniture, representing various periods and styles, such as Hellenistic, Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
Spanish works of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries predominate among his paintings. One room, the former entrance hall of the mansion, is devoted to court portraits of grand ladies of the aristocracy. Perhaps the only work by a woman painter in the collection is Portrait of a Young Lady, attributed to Sofonisba Anguissola, a court painter to Philip II and lady-in-waiting to Elisabeth of Valois, the King's third wife. The well-poised woman, sumptuously adorned – the intricate designs of the fabrics are exquisitely detailed – looks so pure and vulnerable.
Equally notable are works by Sánchez Coello, Zurbárin, Ribera, El Greco – his Saint Francis of Assisi is outstanding – Murillo and Velázquez. There is a room dedicated to Goya, and I was grateful for the time and space to think about the sinister beauty of The Witches and his Witches Sabbath. In the 19th century, as generally elsewhere in Europe, artists and viewers heralded the common man and social realism, journeying far away from divinity towards the raw spirit of the secular. One fine example is a warm, certainly not grand or pompous, portrait of a friend of Galdiano's, The Critic Luis Alfonso, by Emilio Sala.
Galdiano was determined that his collection should be a tribute to Spanish art history in particular, a reference for educating his compatriots about Spanish art. In this vein, he is commendable for including Spanish Gothic and Renaissance panel painting, once scorned for being 'primitive' art. The examples reveal the different artistic techniques and influences that were once prevalent throughout Spain and could be categorized in a regional context. For example, in the Castilian school one can discern the influence of Flemish realism as the saints look more human and expressive than in the panels associated with the Aragonese School, wherein the faces of the saints are more idealized.
On the second floor, one finds works by Dutch (Hieronymus Bosch's Saint John in the Desert, for example), German (including works by Cranach the Elder and Younger), Italian (paintings by Magnaso and Cavallino, for instance) and French artists (including a still life by Dussilion the Elder). One also finds paintings by English artists such as Gainsborough, Reynolds, Constable and Lawrence – an unusual occurrence as works by English painters do not abound in Spain. It is believed that Paula Florido particularly warmed to the English painters. The entire Galdiano collection is decidedly historical, not modern.
The first floor former ceremonial rooms used for display are particularly remarkable for their elaborate architectural detail and imaginative ceiling paintings by Eugenio Lucas Villamil. On one ceiling, there are allegorical scenes of the Four Seasons, while another celebrates musical genius, revealing composers such as Richard Wagner, Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Rossini and Verdi. Other ceilings celebrate poets and writers, such as the playwright Lope de Vega, and deities from classical mythology. A pleasant garden surrounds the house.
The museum offers visitors an education and the perfect atmosphere in which to reflect upon the cultural and social history of Spain with which many of us might not be familiar. On a warm peaceful Sunday morning it is the ideal discovery. A touch romantic too.
Lázaro Galdiano was born in Biere, Navarre. He studied philosophy, literature and law and then he settled in Madrid and became a financier, enterprising publisher and distinguished art collector. For many years he was a member of the board of trustees of the Prado Museum, and a director of the Banco Hispano Americano in Madrid.
Lázaro's renown in Spain as an art patron started to develop when he heroically tried to prevent the sale to the German government of a painting by Hugo Van der Goes, The Adoration of the Wise Men, which had belonged to the convent of Escolapios at Monforte. The Fathers wanted to sell the painting to pay for extensive building repair.
The possible sale of this picture incited protest throughout the Peninsula. Lázaro opened a subscription to save the picture for the nation, and campaigned through lectures and newspaper articles. (Unfortunately he failed and the picture now hangs in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.) Galdiano also earned reverence for his generosity when, during the Moroccan War, he donated prizes to the value of 10,000 pesetas for the soldiers who wrote the most patriotic and affectionate letters to their mothers.
Galdiano founded España Moderna, which published the Revista Internacional journal, covering cultural and judicial topics, and the Biblioteca de Jurisprudencia Filosofia e Historia, for which some 600 volumes appeared. But his most fertile endeavour was the establishment in 1889 of the Spanish cultural and historical review La España Moderna – Revista Ibero-Americana. The foremost writers and critics of the time were contributors. The journal closed in 1914. Professor Robert Hilton, a scholar of Spanish culture, commented that Lazaro 'was clearly an organizer and promoter rather than a writer. We have relatively few products of his own pen'.

Grab a cup of coffee and chat about the upcoming exhibition Dread & Delight: Fairy Tales in an Anxious World with Associate Curator Theresa Bembnister. Dread & Delight brings together the work of contemporary artists who use classical fairy tales to address the complexities of our lives today. While some embrace the stories' promises of transformation and happy endings, others plumb the tales' more troubling elements—poverty, addiction and exploitations of power.
Dread & Delight: Fairy Tales in an Anxious World is organized by the Weatherspoon Art Museum at The University of North Carolina, Greensboro and curated by Dr. Emily Stamey.
Whether you have been a member for years or just joining us, we look forward to connecting with you and sharing art together! Join us for these special tours and events designed for our members!

we want to measure a 20 Amps power diode. But we don't get a nice result. The result seems to be distorted.
I'm thinking there is a fault in our plan. We sweep the voltage from 0V to 1V linear and we are reading the current. But the current only stays at 15 Amps at 1V.
Did we get to the limit of the 2651A SMU? Or should we sweep the current from 0 Amps to 20 Amps and read the voltage.
Thank you for your help and excuse my bad English.
My experience is that you should force current and measure voltage. Depending on the inductance of the device and your setup, you may have to integrate over a longer time to find the place where ringing has subsided.
Are you using remote sense? You should definitely use remote sense.
Are you using TSP Express? If so please post a snapshot of the setting. It would be good to also post a snapshot of your device and cabling.
what did you mean with force the current? Actually i tried to sweep the current from 0 A to 20A. But the voltage curve isn't right. At 15 Amps the voltmeter measure strange thinks.
So i tried a simple resistor and the result is that the curve is linear until about 15 Amps but then the voltage dropped for 1 Amp and then it rises a little bit. But not linear. Is there a fault in the SMU or our cabling. At the moment I can't send you a - of our cabling. I think the cables are about 50 cm each and at the end we put the source high with the sense high at a clamp.
When sweeping current, what is the setting for the voltage compliance limit?
Are you operating in a pulse mode or continuous?
kellekellner wrote: Thanks for the fast answer.
Your cables and connections are very important. SENSE HI and LO connections should not be stacked with the output/force connections. The SENSE HI and LO connections should be as close to the device as physically possible while the FORCE HI and LO should be a little further away from the device than the SENSE connections.
Also, are you using remote sense? Are you sweeping DC or pulsed?
If you are using DC, there will most likely be self-heating of the device at higher currents and the resistance will change with temperature. Pulsed mode reduces self-heating.

Lack of US3 function alone had negligible influence on viral DNA build up largely, gene manifestation, virion launch, and pass on
By Dawn Thompson on Sunday, June 13, 2021
Lack of US3 function alone had negligible influence on viral DNA build up largely, gene manifestation, virion launch, and pass on. and spread. Lack of UL13 function alone had zero appreciable results on viral DNA amounts also. However, lack of UL13 function do create a measurable reduction in the steady-state degrees of two viral glycoproteins (gC and gD), launch of infectious and total virions, and viral pass on. Disruption of both genes didn't affect the build up of viral DNA, but led to Atracurium besylate additional decrease in gD and gC steady-state amounts, and attenuation of viral spread and infectious virion launch. These data display Atracurium besylate how the UL13 kinase takes on an important part in the past due stage of HSV-1 disease, likely by influencing virion set up and/or release. Furthermore, the data claim that the mixed activities from the US3 and UL13 protein kinases are essential to the effective assembly and launch of infectious virions from HSV-1-contaminated cells. Intro Herpesviruses are a historical band of double-stranded DNA infections, which, because of the huge genome size, encode a number of accessories proteins including at least one serine/threonine protein kinase. As the natural functions of the viral protein kinases aren't clear, these features must be essential at least because of the fact that despite access over 500 protein kinases encoded from the sponsor cell, herpesviruses maintained their protein kinases on the millennia within their core band of genes [1, 2]. The protein kinases encoded by herpesviruses get into two organizations: those conserved in every three herpesvirus subfamilies (-, -, and -) are termed conserved herpesviral protein kinases (CHPKs) [3], and the others are present just in the neurotropic -herpesviruses [4]. In human being herpesviruses, the CHPKs consist of UL13 kinase of herpes simplex infections types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and -2), ORF47 kinase of Varicella Zoster Disease (VZV), UL97 kinase of human being cytomegalovirus (HCMV), U69 kinase of human being herpesviruses 6 and 7 (HHV-6 and -7), BGLF4 kinase of Epstein-Barr disease (EBV), and ORF36 kinase of Kaposi Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) [3, 5, 6]. During the period of 25 years since their finding, several studies have already been performed to comprehend the part of CHPKs in replication of herpesviruses. When genes encoding for the CHPKs of human being – and – herpesviruses had been knocked out [7C10] or their manifestation inhibited by RNAi [11, 12], replication of the infections (or their fitness) was considerably impaired [7C12]. The replication defect seemed to occur in the nuclear egress level [7, 8, 11, 13] as well as the mechanism of the inhibition appeared to involve decrease in degrees of nuclear egress complicated (NEC) proteins ([7] and Gershburg, unpublished data). On the other hand, studies concerning CHPKs of -herpesviruses (UL13 of HSV-1 and -2, and ORF47 of VZV) so far yielded controversial data: many studies suggested how the UL13 kinase can be dispensable for viral replication [14, 15], whereas others stated that HSV-1 UL13-null infections show a 250-fold replication defect using cell lines [16]. Also, the conserved kinase of VZV, ORF47, continues to be discovered to either play a significant part in viral replication in a number of cell types [17C19] or become dispensable for VZV replication [20]. Therefore, the unifying theory that could explain what's the essential function from the CHPKs, that Atracurium besylate are highly conserved across a grouped category of over 100 known herpesviruses happens to be lacking. The significance from the conserved UL13-like kinases in the life span routine of neurotropic -herpesviruses is probable obscured by the actual fact that each of them encode another protein kinase, US3, obtained after parting of -herpesviruses from – and – herpesviruses [4]. The US3-like protein kinases Hoxa may be involved in rules of nuclear egress through the immediate phosphorylation of nuclear lamina component lamin A/C [21], aswell as.
