When you're working with images in RDLC reports you often need to create images in a fixed size that matches the image box in you report definition. One of Clausl's many great reporting blog posts is about a workaround to prevent unexpected lines on the image border. Clausl use the freeware Paint.NET which can be downloaded here http://www.getpaint.net/.
Paint.NET can also be used to adjust images to a fixed size while preserving aspect ratio. It's a simple two step procedure.
Lets use the image below as an example. As you can see it's 611*400 pixels. Let's say we want to create a 300*100 pixel image.
The first thing to do is to shrink it so it fits inside a 300*100 box. To do this you choose Image->Resize in the menu.
In this case the height will determine the size since using 300 as width would result in a to high image.
The image is now to narrow. We need to make it wider and we do this by changing the canvas size. To do this you choose Image->Canvas Size.
Here you should not maintain aspect ratio and by setting the anchor you decide how the image will be aligned.
Now we have an image that is left aligned and exactly 300*100 pixels.
Your link to Claus does not work correctly. You can use https://clauslblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/working-with-images-in-rdlc-report/ instead, but unfortunately the images included there have not been transfered correctly.

Anthony Davis Reportedly Turns Down Lakers Contract Offer
SHENZHEN, CHINA - OCTOBER 12: #3 Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts during the match against the Brooklyn Nets during a preseason game as part of 2019 NBA Global Games China at Shenzhen Universiade Center on October 12, 2019 in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.

The Los Angeles Lakers still have a good shot at locking down Anthony Davis long-term, but they're not going to be able to do it during this season.
Davis officially turned down LA's four-year, $146 million contract extension today, according to Yahoo's Chris Haynes. by turning down this deal–and declining his $28.7 million player option for next season–Davis is able to enter unrestricted free agency in the summer.
Haynes reports that it is widely expected that Davis will re-sign with the Lakers in free agency. He is eligible to receive a five-year $202 million max contract.
Yahoo Sources: Los Angeles Lakers offered Anthony Davis a max contract extension this morning, but they were informed he would be bypassing in favor of entering free-agency. https://t.co/9Ce2A4ePbI pic.twitter.com/ODta1H40Zi
— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) January 7, 2020
Assuming the Lakers sign Davis to a multi-year deal in the summer, they should be a title contender for the next few seasons.
As it stands, they definitely are in the running for a championship right now. At 29-7, Los Angeles has the best record in the Western Conference and the second-best in the entire NBA.
Davis, so far, has been worth every asset the team surrendered for him in an offseason trade. He's averaging 27.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.6 blocks per game.

Asked by LUX Scotland, to propose a single example of artists' film for a hypothetical Lux Scotland collection, I've chosen as a proposition something very short. At 3 minutes and 25 seconds, I'm painfully aware that the brevity of the work of art and the length of my commentary is getting the cultural value in inverse proportions.
I'm not so much proposing a film for a collection, I'm choosing a film that is about collections, and it's as much as a stepping off point for those wider discussions about collections, and a LUX Scotland collection, as it is an actual proposition that I would like LUX to consider.
Flash in the Metropolitan was made by the artists Lucy Skaer and Rosalind Nashashibi, working together as Nashashibi Skaer in 2006. It was commissioned by Spike Island, Bristol for British Art Show 6 and is set in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Here is how the Met, which facilitated the making of the film and subsequently acquired it in 2010, describes it:
In 2006 the Metropolitan Museum was approached by a British arts organization who had commissioned the artists Rosalind Nashashibi and Lucy Skaer, who work independently but also make films collaboratively, to make a new short feature under their auspices. They had an unusual request: they wanted to make a film in the Metropolitan but in the middle of the night. Under the cover of darkness and armed with a flash strobe, a 16mm film camera, and some track on which to move it, the artists glided through the museum, flashing their source of illumination at discreet intervals on free-standing objects and those in cases. As a result, the way in which the works of art are usually presented falls away, and the objects—often ritual or devotional in their original function—become eerily enlivened and animated, almost like characters in a new ritual of unknown intent.
Firstly, I have asked for Flash to be shown in 16mm film. I know it exists in other formats. A collection implies dissemination as well as care and custody. Is it possible to build a moving image collection that really cares about format and is able to provide the necessary support for it? A collection that recognises that whilst we rewrite, transcribe or re-author cultural artefacts according to our contemporary needs, knowledge and desires, that moving image is not only a fluid intellectual material to be poured into a vessel of our own choosing, but sometimes an intransigent, delicate, vulnerable, stubborn and culturally-specific object. This is not just a blunt fact about material. The complex implication of this knowledge, in its widest sense, is also the very nature of Flash's art and its artfulness.
Secondly this is not a film of now. It's a film I've seen only rarely, once or twice since I attended it's opening night in a dark, claustrophobic, former bonded warehouse in Bristol. I would want Lux to build a collection that allows us to revisit works that have fallen out of view, or out of circulation, and that means works that are a decade or five years old as much as it means the films of four or five decades ago. Historical works accrue cultural value by their glamorous distance from the present or from a reverse engineering of their meaning. We make the past "anticipate" the present we inhabit. The near past is a difficult terrain to map or see.
Does Flash itself need help to find a place in the canon? I think not, it's in important public collections including that of the Metropolitan and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and of course the Lux collection. Is its significance settled? Is it sufficiently seen or circulated? Has it found its place in the discourse? Absolutely not. I think of it as a key work of the decade in which it was made and I don't see that reflected in its cultural place anywhere.
So thirdly, and somewhat paradoxically, I would argue that collecting requires intellectual not just material investment, a commitment to making anew. To re-seeing and rethinking existing cultural objects.
But fourthly, I want us to think really hard of the risk of Flash's presence in the collection as much as the risks of its absence. If it is plucked out of the category of artists' film and repositioned in the category of artists' film from Scotland, or by a slippage which I think we should be very careful to avoid, artists' film that is somehow Scottish is that a loss or a gain? And if it is either, whose loss and whose gain. For Flash does the idea of Lux Scotland Collection provide context or a closing down?
To the film itself:
Flash is an ambivalent love/hate letter to the United States of America. It is a film about the conflicted relationship between moving image and the photograph. It is a transgressive film: made voyeuristically and stealthily at night. It is a film about the transformative power of film. It's a film that suggests these artists' deeply ambivalent feeling for the museum, for the Met as a global resource, for New York as a place of cultural authority. It's a film about the riches of the museum, the museum's potential, and its limitations.
But above all, since the very first night I saw it I have felt very strongly that this is a film about wider surveillance and violence. In part I think it relates to the intrinsic violence of the photographic image. Although I can't speak for the artists' intentions I always think of it in relation to other art works by Lucy Skaer in which elements of the source material include historical artefacts under glass which seem to have been fractured by the reflected flash of the artist's camera.
The camera like the museum destroys objects as much as we continue to believe it reveals them to us. Thus Flash might be a film about the colonial brutality of museum collections. The museum like the camera destroys history as much as we continue to believe it preserves it for us.
Flash is always written about in relation to time. The vast time that the objects in the film represent, they are from the museum's Near Eastern, African and Oceanic collections, is set against the brief time of their illumination. The film concerns the reanimation of ghosts. It is about the death of ritual objects and the creation of ghosts too: about how skewed our view of cultures can become through the acquisition of things, through histories of abrupt and violent acquaintance. In the film, we see the consequences of time. The loss and estrangement involved in the museum is held in rhythmic equilibrium with the imperatives of preservation and nurture of objects. We see the dangers and pleasures of visibility.
Flash uses strobe lighting. We know from well-documented scientific accounts that strobes cause visual hallucinations. Sitting on a bus travelling through trees on the sunlit Riviera in December 1959, the artist and poet Brion Gysin discovered the hallucinogenic properties of rhythmic flickering light that led him and to create his own strobe The Dream Machine. The strobe found its transgressive place in psychedelic, and later dance, culture.
The strobe is a transformational technology that relates to some of the earliest forms of cinema's black magic: the zoetrope, and the thaumatrope. The flicker of the strobe stops time, it observes and categorises the unobservable. It slows time, for example on the dance floor. Under certain circumstances, in relation to rotating images, it can seem to reverse time.
If Flash might at times equate the colonising, categorising eye of the camera and that of the collection it might also deal with neo-colonial realities of its era. The film was made in 2006 and, in my view, it is a film made firmly from within, and about, the Bush era. I think it's a film about the legacy of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, about Britain and America's long and disastrous histories of intervention in the Middle East and the Gulf. About shock and awe. And, for our own purposes, about the need to investigate the complex impulse to collect, preserve, and celebrate cultural artefacts at times of conflict.
And I think the notion of aerial photography is lurking amongst all these tracking shots. Flash is a film made in the still of night, that paradoxically evokes bombardment. A few years later the artists made Our Magnolia a film that borrows its name from Paul Nash's 1944 painting in which an unfurling flower denotes the war time threat from the air. The most powerful moment in that film is the rhythmic, indeed stroboscopic, weeping of a woman grieving in the destroyed and looted Museum of Iraq in Baghdad.
When I think of the relationship between art, photography and history through Flash I think of death. Roger Fenton and all those bones on the battlefield of Crimea. I think of the aerial photographs of the charnel house of the western front that Marcel Duchamp obliquely evoked in Dust Breeding, his "aerial" picture of The Large Glass. I think of Andre Breton's work as a medic, in the catastrophe of the first war and attached to a pilot training school in Poitiers during the second: the view from the air and its influence in shaping post war surrealism. Or of Edward Steichen in 1917, directing the aerial photographic unit of the US Army and in 1941 portraying aerial bombardment and its consequences as commander of the Naval Aviation Photographic Unit in 1941. Of the artist and designer Isamu Noguchi, trapped in a Japanese-American internment camp at Poston in the Arizona desert, who conceived of an artwork that was never made: an outdoor sculpture in which an entire landscape would be shaped by bombardment.
So when I see Flash I think of the flash bomb as well as the flashbulb. The inventor of the modern strobe, the MIT scientist Harold Edgerton, worked largely in engineering applications but developed an enormous strobe for aerial surveillance images that superseded the flash bomb and could penetrate as far as a mile. It was on the basis of reconnaissance using this new technology that the D-Day landings were timed.
The strobe has a kinship with other more recent penetrative military technologies such as the drone. It sees what we can't and tells us what we didn't know. I think Flash in the Metropolitan might do that too.
This text was written for a presentation by the writer as part of the event Towards a Scottish Collection of Artists' Moving Image at CCA in January 2017 and was accompanied by a screening of the art work. Thanks to Nicole Yip and LUX Scotland for the invitation and to LUX collection for the screening of the work.

BuzzFeed on Wednesday decided to ruin lives by asking what the meaning of IMHO was, because apparently its own staff was split. Based on the results, though, very few people know what the H stands for, and this realization is destroying friendships.
Now, if you read the Valley News, there's a good chance you already knew the real meaning of IMHO, because Sports Editor Greg Fennell has a column named after it.
The sig for Valley News Sports Editor Greg Fennell's column IMHO, which stands for In My Humble Opinion.
While Merriam-Webster isn't the official dictionary we refer to at the VN (we use Webster's New World College Dictionary), Webster's doesn't have a Twitter account, so I can't include its view here. Still, I'm pretty sure it also would be Team Humble.
Be honest: Did you know it was humble, not honest? Or do you believe it's honest, not humble? Let us know!

When you are referred to mental health services by your GP (and you are aged between 18 and 64), the Primary Care Plus Team receives the referral and a team member will carry out an assessment of your needs. They will then decide with you which part of the service will best meet your needs.
Many buses serve the Woolwich area, please see www.tfl.gov.uk for details.
The closest train station is Woolwich Arsenal.
I have been reading on this website the comments of fellow carers of patients under the "Care" (or not) of Oxleas Trust at The Heights and although I find these reviews disturbing I feel relieved that I am not the only one feeling that Oxleas Trust would be far happier if nobody bothered to ring them to alert them to the condition of someone on their books. I feel have been fobbed off in a manner that I was being a nuisance and despite the many times I have requested for my friend to be sent a consent form to enable me to intervene in her care - as she is in too deep a depression to be able to help herself - I have been given false information and links to wrong follow-ups. Please show some care and competency. Surely prevention is better than cure as we are always being reminded in NHS adverts?
Thank you for your comments and we are sorry to hear of your experience.
The Heights team manager Pauline Heslop (020 8269 4110), will be happy to give you a call and discuss your concerns in more detail.
The Heights have a problem with the telephone service. Not for the first time I have spent an hour trying to get through, for an urgent matter. Once I had to go there in a distressed state to get turned back to my gp. The psychiatrist I see is an old dinosaur, the word holistic will never cross his lips. Greenwich residents deserve better. So glad I now fall under a surgery in the borough of Lewisham. I would like to change my consultant. He is bored and blinkered. In a crisis, not getting through to the Heights I was forced to go privately and got an appointment next day 9am with a consultant who I immediately knew was neither tired nor judgemental and had a cultural resonance with me that would improve my chances of gaining long lasting help. Please indicate where I should address my request to change consultant. Thank you.
Thank you for your message. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the west locality team.
Please can you get in touch with the team manager, Pauline Heslop, on 020 8269 4110 or via email at pauline.heslop@nhs.net, so you can have a discussion about ways in which your requested changes in medical input can be facilitated.
A previous patient, on anti-depressant medication, and in the throes of a - albeit mild - panic attack, I need a spot of help. The self-assessment shows me as being "in good mental health". !! The earliest I can hope to speak with someone is 9 days - and that's presumably for those not in "good mental health". Where do I go for a conversation with a professional who can refer to my earlier counselling, and help me with managing the fall-out from a panic attack? I know it's chemical. I know I'll feel better soon, but meanwhile, my mind (and my hear rate) are in overdrive. I'm not in crisis, but I am in need of a spot of professional help. Seems I won't be getting it!
We are sorry to hear about your current difficulties.
One of our CMHT managers, Brian Mandisodza (020 8269 4156), will be in touch to discuss your concerns.
Thank you for contacting us and we are very sorry to hear your experience.
We are constantly striving to improve the quality of our service and feedback is very important to us.
Pauline Heslop, Team Manager Locality West (020 8269 4180), will give you a call to discuss ways in which we can help you.
My mother never gets the care she needs when she needs it. I am being proactive and trying to get support from the Ferryview team to try and avoid another crisis, but the resourcing (i.e. lack of) is set up to be reactive not proactive. I will now insist on a NHS funded private referral which there must be a business case for. Get your act together, start exercising duty of care and move away from the shocking conveyor belt system you operate before I take this further with media exposure.
Thank you for your comment and we are sorry to hear about your experience of the service provided to your mother. We are striving to continually improve our quality of care for all our patients and their carers.
The team manager Maggie Miller (020 8319 5500) will give you a call to discuss how she can help in addressing the issues you have raised.
Due to my conditions I have been drafting this comment/ complaint for a while now.
However, I would like to echo back to the comments made by Steve on the 13th Of September 2017 and Alison on the 14th of September 2017 with regard the 2017 Autism Strategy and Oxleas response to it.
I was saddened to read that Oxleas are not commissioned to help this group of people.
I myself am one of these people. I am an Autistic adult with other mental health conditions and have been under the care of East Greenwich Locality Team for several years.
On many occasions I have asked for assistance and guidance to help with my additional Autism difficulties. Sadly, these requests have largely been ignored or 'fallen on deaf ears' and I have not been signposted anywhere at all during this time.
I am also concerned I have been deliberately put through situations that can exasperate my conditions throughout.
Within the last six weeks I have been contacted by an Occupational Therapist. Twice within this time I have asked if there was as autism specific care assessment available with a specialist autism trained person so as to best understand my daily ongoing autism difficulties aside from my ongoing mental health conditions.
The person at that time on both occasions was unsure and said they would get back to me. This did not happen. I have now been sent a normal Occupational Therapy appointment on a different subject matter to my last appointment?.
I have no idea what is expected of me at these appointments so due to my autism and anxiety I find it difficult to verbally express my needs and so therefore feel my need will not be met going forward. It feels like I 'falling between the cracks' when it comes to help from the local authority and local NHS and the implementation of the 2015 Autism Strategy Guidance.
On the 1st of November 2017. I did contact the East Greenwich Locality Team to raise my concern regarding the above. I was informed the ADAPT manager would be in contact. This has not happened to date.
Phoned up for some advice / help and got hung up on twice!
We are sorry this has happened. If you could let us know which team you contacted then we will follow this up.

BioBuzz: In Conversation: Sally Allain, Head, JLABS @ Washington, DC – Johnson & Johnson Innovation
By Andrew EckertMay 18, 2020News
BioBuzz recently caught up with the Head of JLABS @ Washington, DC, Sally Allain, to discuss her growing, local team, what it's like to be back home in the BioHealth Capital Region (BHCR) and how JLABS plans to support regional start-ups and entrepreneurs by connecting them to the Johnson & Johnson global network of experts, mentors, and programming.
JLABS is part of Johnson & Johnson Innovation, whose goal is to accelerate life science innovation worldwide to solve unmet medical and healthcare needs for patients. This innovation model provides scientists, entrepreneurs, and emerging companies with one-stop access to science and technology experts who can facilitate collaborations across the pharmaceutical, medical device and consumer companies of Johnson & Johnson. JLABS is the "no strings attached" incubator program for early-stage biotech companies that is now part of the BHCR ecosystem.
This incubator network helps emerging companies grow by bringing the power of Johnson & Johnson's 250 operating companies and over 130,000 employees from 175 countries around the world to an entrepreneur's doorstep. Since opening its flagship site in San Diego in 2012, Johnson & Johnson Innovation JLABS now includes 13 global sites and over 650 portfolio companies.
JLABS @ Washington, DC will be located within a redevelopment of 12 acres on the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center property. The new facility, which is currently under construction, is embedded within the new Children's National Research and Innovation Campus. JLABS @ Washington, DC will host up to 50 companies within its 32,000 square foot facility.
It has been just over a year since the opening of JLABS @ Washington, DC was publicly announced. What has it been like getting to know the local biohealth community and what have you learned about this ecosystem?
I am originally from the DC metro area and studied at Virginia Tech, so it is great to be back in the region after spending time in California and internationally working within those life science hubs. Over the past several months, we've been meeting with the local leaders within industry, government, research and academic institutions and medical centers across the DMV. Making these connections and having a close-up look into the region's innovators is inspiring.
The research strengths and scientific expertise within the DMV are incredible. It is why Johnson & Johnson Innovation brought JLABS here – to be more closely connected to and support this rich ecosystem that is poised to further accelerate healthcare innovation.
We have a very good feel for how JLABS @ Washington, DC can best partner to move science and technology forward in the region and we've already begun!

UK Government Spending Review: reaction
There has been a mixed reaction to how the UK Government's Spending Review will affect mental health service users in Wales.
Although the full impact of the expenditure plans outlined by Chancellor George Osborne on Wednesday will not be fully known in Wales until the Welsh Assembly Government announces its draft budget on November 17th , this week's announcement did shed some light on issues which are not devolved to Wales, such as criminal justice and welfare benefits.
For analysis on the Spending Review we recommend you visit the Citizen's Advice Bureau website: http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/press_20101020 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special_reports/spending_review/
In terms of criminal justice Paul McKeever, Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said that although the cuts were less than feared no one could pretend the future would not be "extremely challenging".
He said: "Whilst appreciating the Government's view that we should purely fight crime, the reality is that police officers deal with a multitude of tasks every day that fall outside of this remit, including the care and welfare of vulnerable citizens in society.
"These cuts could mean that areas not covered by other agencies, such as dealing with people on the streets with mental illness, drug and alcohol issues and missing person enquiries, are the ones that suffer."
During his speech on Wednesday the Chancellor stated that a Green Paper will set out proposals to reform sentencing, "to intervene earlier to give treatment to mentally ill offenders and use voluntary and private providers to reduce reoffending."
Responding to this Penny Cram, Criminal Justice Lead Officer at the Welsh mental health charity Hafal, said: "Early intervention is key to helping someone with a serious mental illness so we welcome the Chancellor's announcement. As well as giving people a strong chance of recovery diverting people from the criminal justice system into mental health services can also result in financial savings across the public sector too so this is a positive step.
"Nobody with a serious mental illness should be in a police or prison cell."
While views on Mr Osborne's criminal justice expenditure plans were mixed, opinions on welfare benefit cuts were more consistent.
Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health Joint Chief Executive Sean Duggan said his organisation was concerned that reductions in welfare benefit spending will have a damaging effect on large numbers of people with mental ill health.
He said: "Weaknesses in the way disability is assessed need to be remedied urgently and effective support is vital to ensure that more people with mental health problems get the chance they deserve to fulfil their potential through employment."
Commenting on the implications of the UK government's policies for people with mental ill health Hafal Chief Executive Bill Walden-Jones said: "For most people with a serious mental illness the key concern at the moment must be changes to the benefits system. Even before the Spending Review Hafal has had contact with many individuals who have fallen foul of the substantial changes both to the rules and practice relating to Employment Support Allowance.
"The announcements this week, not least the restrictions on housing benefits for people under 35, add to an anxiety that the principle of assuring a reasonable standard of living for all people with a serious mental illness may be under threat. However, the main issues seem to me still to lie in the rules, interpretation of the system and the jury is still out on whether Iain Duncan Smith can find an approach which genuinely still provides for people with serious mental illness while meeting his ambitions both for cost-cutting and incentives to get people into work.
"I'm not optimistic about this. The trouble is that there is a consensus about wanting rules which will not victimise people with a serious mental illness but nobody has found a way to ensure that the proper concern to expose inappropriate claims of disability and need does not lead to injustice and oppression.
"Hafal will certainly take up the challenge and we are already engaging with DWP to try to establish good practice in reviewing cases. We have also assisted hundreds of our clients this summer through our "Ease the Squeeze" campaign which included advice on ESA."
Following the Spending Review the Welsh Assembly Government will finalise its own draft budget which will be published on November 17th. The final budget will be presented to the National Assembly for Wales in early February 2011.

The Indigenous Authorities of Colombia (, AICO) is a progressive indigenist political party in Colombia.

The Movement of Indigenous Authorities of Colombia was recognized as a Colombian political party on August 15, 1991. It is the political, social and cultural movement of the indigenous authorities of Colombia, born from the struggle for land and the defense of the rights of indigenous peoples and since the 1991 constitution has been participating in the political life of the country. It proposes a model and operation from the principles of territoriality, autonomy, identity, cultural preservation, participation, diversity and interculturality, manifested in Colombian society and the international relations of indigenous peoples. Its current only congressman is the senator for the indigenous constituency Manuel Bitervo Palchucan Chingal.

History
In 1971 the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca (CRIC) was born, constituted from the cabildos as authorities of the Indigenous Reservations, to assert the rights to land, culture and autonomy. In 1978 the Misak people held a great assembly known as "First Assembly of the Guambiano people", in which they claimed their autonomy as a people, greater rights, proper and original, as well as the minga (community work), and proclaimed the manifesto "ikpe namui ken ñimmerá" (). They decided to withdraw from the CRIC because they considered its structure to be of a "trade union, too alien and poorly adapted to indigenous communities and authorities". They then formed the Indigenous Authorities of Southwestern Colombia (AISO).

They held the first "March of Indigenous Authorities" in 1980, under the slogan: "Recover the land to recover everything: Authority, Autonomy and Culture". They rejected the repression against the indigenous movement, violence and the "Indigenous Statute" issued by the government of Julio César Turbay Ayala. In 1983 they recovered the Hacienda Las Mercedes in Silvia.

In 1987 they held the second march. Together with indigenous councils of the Pastos and Camsá and authorities of the Tairona Indigenous Confederation, they created the Indigenous Authorities Movement of Colombia  that pronounced itself for "the political, economic, social, ecological reconstruction and recovery of the cultural values of the native peoples".

The oral tradition arises in the southwest of Colombia with the unification of the Guambianos and Pastos peoples, in the departments of Cauca and Nariño under the defense and conception of the Major Law, for the recovery of territory and the defense of the titles awarded by the Spanish crown (Amparos, possessions, provisions, royal cedula, obedience, decrees, and agreements of reservations of colonial origin) as an original title of collective territorial property.

In 1987 the Organization of Indigenous Authorities of the Southwestern Colombia took on its current name, and is currently made up of councils and / or indigenous authorities of a large part of the Colombian territory.

Political participation
In 1990, when the Constituent Assembly was convened, AICO decided to express itself as a political movement and launch its own list that was successful in the election of Lorenzo Muelas, with outstanding performance during the Assembly sessions in 1991. Later, it participated in elections to the Congress of the Republic, electing in past periods as senators Floro Tunubalá, who was later governor of Cauca and Efrén Tara later, and representatives Narciso Jamioy and Lorenzo Almendra. In the elections of March 12, 2006, Ramiro Estacio was elected leader of the indigenous people of the Pastos.

ind vs eng Match Prediction & Analysis
The results of the India-England T20I series are turning out to be quite a lottery, based almost completely on the toss. The side that has won the toss and batted second in all the three games so far has managed comfortable victories. After India came back strongly in the 2nd T20I to square the series, England produced another clinical performance in the third match to take a 2-1 lead. After restricting India to 156-6 on a sticky wicket, England chased the target down with 10 balls to spare. However, a clear pattern has emerged in this series that the side chasing gets a definite advantage and it will be interesting to see if the home side manages to make a comeback if the fate of the coin doesn't favor them again.
India Preview
After the high of the 2nd T20I, Team India had an ordinary outing in the 3rd T20I. Their batsmen failed to make an impression and were rocked with the pace of Mark Wood who had reduced the team to 86-5 by the 15th over. Had it not been for a sublime unbeaten 77 by captain Virat Kohli, India would have had posted a much lower target for England to chase. India would be particularly worried over the form of opener KL Rahul whose scores in this series have been 1, 0, and 0. Rohit Sharma, who played his first match of the series, didn't look at his best but is expected to fire in the next two matches.
India's bowling wasn't bad but could have been better. Barring Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Washington Sundar, the others couldn't sustain the pressure on the English batsmen. Yuzvendra Chahal was expensive again which is becoming a problem and Shardul Thakur didn't bowl the right lengths. Perhaps it's time to give Deepak Chahar a go in the remaining two matches.
India Predicted Playing XI:

England Preview
England produced another near-perfect game as they thumped India convincingly in the 3rd T20I. Led by a rampaging Mark Wood (3-31), they blew India's top-order away on a slow track and never allowed them to dominate the game. Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, and Ben Stokes, were excellent too and utilized the slowness of the pitch to great effect. Wood, who had missed out on the 2nd T20I due to injury, showed how valuable he is to this England bowling lineup and gives them that extra punch with his raw pace.
Chasing a target of 156 on this wicket wasn't going to be a cakewalk, but England made light work of it courtesy of a special unbeaten 83 off 52 balls by Jos Butler and a solid 40* off 28 balls by Jonny Bairstow. Butler was at his punishing best and attacked India's best bowlers in style. This English batting unit has some serious firepower and continues to impress. It will take a special effort by the Indian bowlers to stop the likes of Butler, Morgan, Bairstow, Malan, and Stokes in the next couple of matches.

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will be in focus again. The track used for the 3rd match was pretty two-paced. Batting wasn't easy in the first half as the ball gripped the surface a little and didn't come on that easily to the bat. However, things became better in the second half as the ball began skidding off the surface.
The weather at Ahmedabad is expected to be warm with the night temperature to be around 24°C.
Don't expect any big totals in the 4th T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The track is likely to behave the same way as it has done so far and the chasing side will have an advantage. The team batting first would have to put up a total of around 170-plus to have the best chance of winning.
The toss has almost become the deciding factor in this series given how the chasing side has won all the matches so far. It is no surprise hence that the captain winning the toss will be looking to bowl first.
This series has been a contest of two very strong T20 sides that have been trying their best to adjust to difficult conditions. England has been the better team because of their pace battery and the raw strength and variety of their batting. India has a variety of talent too but all of them haven't clicked together as a unit. Expect them to fight back hard in the next match and it won't be surprising if they upstage the visitors courtesy of a Rohit Sharma special. However, a lot will again depend on which side chases. England has the edge but India should make a comeback.

New Jersey was the first state outside of Nevada to legalize commercial casino gaming by passing the Casino Control Act in 1976 ("Act"). Currently, the state's 11 commercial casinos generate approximately $3.05 billion in annual revenue and constitute the second-largest casino gaming market in the country. In 2011, the Act was amended to remove many of the filing requirements for non-gaming suppliers, as well as change the filing process for gaming-related suppliers.
The New Jersey Casino Control Commission ("Commission") was established to administer the Act and put forth administrative rules ("Rules") regarding casino gaming within the state. In connection with administering the Act and Rules, the Commission has established several different business and individual licenses for manufacturers and suppliers of products and services to casino gaming facilities.
Those entities that deal in supplies that relate to casino or gaming activity must be licensed as a Gaming-Related Casino Service Industry provider. In order to complete the application process, the applicant must complete the Business Entity Disclosure Form – Gaming, Multi-Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure and New Jersey Supplemental Form, and the Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Obligations Form. Each of these forms is discussed below.
The initial term for a Gaming-Related Casino Service Industry Licensee is three years. If renewed, it will be for a period of five years.
22.	List of gaming and professional licenses.
10.	Tax returns, past five years.
These individuals must complete a Multi-Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure Form and New Jersey Supplement Form.
A non-gaming vendor offering goods or services is required to complete a two-step vendor registration process. This process requires action on the part of the Vendor as well as the Casino transacting business. Each Vendor must complete and submit a Vendor Registration Form (VFR) to the casino that it wishes to transact business with. The casino is then required to submit the VRF to the State of New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, on the vendor's behalf.
A Vendor Registration is effective upon issuance, and will remain in effect unless revoked, suspended, limited, or otherwise restricted by the Division of Gaming Enforcement.
There is no fee associated with the filing of a Vendor Registration Form or Vendor Registration Supplemental Disclosure Form.

Lock your screen and get rid of water from your Apple Watch speaker in watchOS 4.
If you have an Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 3, you'll be able to use Water Lock, which locks the screen of your Apple Watch so you can swim without activating it. Water Lock is also used to push water out of the speaker holes on the side of your Apple Watch to prevent the water from causing any problems in the long term.
Here's how to use Water Lock on the Apple Watch in watchOS 4.
If you start a water-based workout from the Workout app, Water Lock will automatically turn on locking your screen to prevent accidental input; however, in watchOS 4 you can turn on Water Lock at any time using Control Center.
Swipe up on the watch face to activate Control Center.
Tap Water Lock. It's button with the water droplet.
Now your Apple Watch screen is locked and you can jump in the pool and start your laps.
When you finish your water-based workout, or anytime you want to turn off water lock you'll need to use these steps.
Keep turning the Digital Crown until the Apple Watch says it's unlocked.
If you have any water in your speaker holes, this will force it out. If you want to be extra-safe and make sure you have all the water out of your Apple Watch, turn on water lock again and repeat the unlock process.
What can I do if I get my Apple Watch Series 1 or Series 0 wet?
If you have an older Apple Watch you won't have access to the Water Lock feature because the older models are not designed to be submerged. If you think you may have water in your Apple Watch Series 1 or Series 0 here's what Apple suggests.
If you really did get water in your Apple Watch Series 1 or older, this process can take a couple of hours. Just turn your Apple Watch off and let it sit on its side for a long time, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Most vouchers from D-4 voters is strong sign for most votes on election day
Alex Pedersen Continues
to Overwhelm Opposition
with Most Democracy Vouchers
from District 4 Voters
CONTACT: Alex Pedersen, 206-321-9067
SEAT TLE, May 20, 20 19 -
An updated public disclosure request (PDR) confirmed positive news for Alex Pedersen's fundraising efforts: 83% of his Democracy Vouchers are from voters residing in District 4, where he is running for election to become the next full-time Councilmember in November. Through May 15, Pedersen has over 1,400 more vouchers from D-4 voters than the next candidate, who is obtaining large percentages of vouchers from D-3.
In addition to the positive results regarding vouchers from his own district, Pedersen continues to be the leading fundraiser when combining both Democracy Vouchers collected and traditional dollars raised.
" I'm proud to be earning the confidence of so many residents from Wedgwood to Wallingford to Eastlake by listening to their concerns and demonstrating I am the only candidate with the direct experience and community connections to deliver the strong accountability they deserve and expect from an elected City Councilmember," said Pedersen. "We believe how people choose to award their Democracy Vouchers indicates how they will cast their votes in this vital election for Seattle's future ."
Source of Vouchers: While news media outlets have reported widely the total count of vouchers received or redeemed by candidates, the geographic source of the vouchers has not been readily available. Due to the substantial lag time in obtaining complete data when some candidates delay their official reports, a PDR was needed to have the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission (SEEC) provide the current source of all vouchers .
Democracy Vouchers Only : Pedersen receiving 83% from District 4. (Source: For the Excel file provided by SEEC in response to recent Public Disclosure Request, CLICK HERE .)
Other candidates are receiving a large percentage of vouchers from District 3, where Kshama Sawant is the incumbent Socialist Councilmember and has chosen not to participate in the city's Democracy Voucher program.
 The actual count for the four D-4 candidates receiving the most vouchers thus far can be seen in the table below:
Total Fundraising Lead (proper analysis requires combination of both numbers): When there are Democracy Vouchers, the most accurate way to assess total fundraising is to add together the total traditional dollars raised AND the dollar value of all the vouchers RECEIVED (and validated) by SEEC.
Traditional donations + Valid Vouchers Received = Total Fundraising $
When adding the two numbers, Pedersen continues to be the leading fundraiser in D-4 and possibly across the entire city with over $135,000 (including his own donation of approximately $18,000) -- quickly approaching the $150,000 maximum for the entire campaign through the November election. Because candidates can spend only $75,000 during the primary, Pedersen already has $60,000 ready for the general election.
Because SEEC prominently publishes the amount of vouchers a campaign chooses to "redeem" (cash in), some news media outlets have reported just vouchers redeemed whereas the broader picture should include vouchers received (collected). SEEC makes the voucher collection information available on their "Program Data" website as an Excel file every few days -- but without the geographic origin of the vouchers. Candidates, like Pedersen, who have also raised traditional dollars would need to redeem a relatively small amount of vouchers whereas candidates with little in traditional donations must redeem a larger amount of vouchers.
It's also important to highlight the large percentage of cash donations received from outside of Seattle.
[Note: The charts on the SEEC website can be misleading because the percentages often include the candidate's personal contribution in a separate category -- which artificially lowers the category for "District 4." For an "apples-to-apples" comparison of who has the most support from their district, the candidate's personal contribution should probably be removed from both the numerator and denominator. There are several ways to sort the data from SEEC, all of which still point to Pedersen earning the most support from his home district, D-4.]
Alex Pedersen, a progressive results-oriented Democrat, was the first candidate in the entire city to qualify for the city's Democracy Voucher program in this year's Council campaigns and has also been a leading fundraiser as he runs on a platform of accountability, transparency, and results.
Pedersen officially launched his campaign on November 28, 2018 for District 4. Because the incumbent Rob Johnson vacated his seat early, the City Council appointed a temporary caretaker until D-4 voters choose their own 4-year Councilmember in the August primary and November general elections.
District 4 is home to approximately 100,000 residents in 20 neighborhoods including Bryant, Belvedere Terrace, Cowen Park, Eastlake, East Fremont, Hawthorne Hills, Inverness, Laurelhurst, Magnuson Park, Maple Leaf, Ravenna, Ravenna Springs, Roosevelt, Sand Point, the U District, University Park, View Ridge, Wallingford, Wedgwood and Windermere.

Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge | Oh, Ranger!
Extending 125 miles up the Missouri River from the Fort Peck Dam in north-central Montana, the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is approximately 1,100,000 acres in size and includes the 245,000 acre Fort Peck Reservoir. Given the size and remoteness of the Refuge, the area has changed very little from the historic voyage of Lewis and Clark through the era of outlaws and homesteaders. Visitors will find spectacular examples of native prairie, forested coulees, river bottoms, and "breaks" badlands. Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, sage and sharp-tailed grouse, and bald eagles make the refuge home. The refuge's namesake famously portrayed this rich diversity of native wildlife and habitats in many of his paintings.
Hunting and fishing opportunities abound on Charles M. Russell NWR, its satellite Refuges, and the Waterfowl Production Areas. Boating is popular on the Missouri River and Fort Peck Reservoir. Several state parks and recreational areas have been developed within the refuge. Each fall, hundreds of elk congregate in the Slippery Ann Wildlife Viewing Area, creating a spectacle not to be missed. Camping is permitted anywhere on the refuge. The entire refuge is open to hiking and horseback riding although no formal trails exist. Wildlife viewing and photography opportunities are found throughout the refuge.
Both motorized and non-motorized boating is permitted on the Refuge.
A self-guided auto tour route, which may be accessed from two points along Highway 191 on the west side of the Refuge, provides visitors the chance to see the Refuge close-up and gain a better understanding of Refuge resources. Interpretive stops along the route provide information on the wildlife, geology, and history of this unique landscape. This auto tour route is 19 miles long and takes 2-3 hours to complete.
Except where designated as closed, camping (other than backpacking) must take place within 100 yards of the waters of the Missouri River and Fort Peck Reservoir or within 100 yards of numbered roads that are designated as open. Direct access by mechanized vehicles from a numbered road is permitted to and from temporary overnight campsites within 100 yards of numbered roads designated as open. Select the most direct access to avoid damaged to soils and vegetation.
Fishing is permitted on the Refuge. Anglers often catch catfish, walleye, northern pike, sauger, perch, smallmouth bass, bullhead, paddlefish, and lake troute from the Missouri River and Fort Peck Reservoir.
Hiking is allowed anywhere on the Refuge but there are also established trails scattered around the Refuge with varying levels of development and accessibility. On the east side of the Refuge there are several paved, accessible walking trails near the Fort Peck Dam Interpretive Center and Museum. There are several hiking trails on the west end of the refuge that provide access to wilderness areas. Two hiking trails originate in Hell Creek State Park on the south side and there is an accessible trail near the headquarters building in Lewistown which features native plants.
Fort Peck hosts the fascinating Fort Peck Dam Interpretive Center and Museum, a cooperative effort among the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, and Fort Peck Paleontology Inc. Museum exhibits have a three-fold focus: wildlife of the CMR, dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period, and the construction of the Fort Peck Dam. In summer, the museum is the epicenter of the environmental education and interpretation programs.

Cerebrospinal fluid hormone concentration in the evaluation of pituitary tumors
R. M. Jordan, John Kendall, J. L. Seaich, J. P. Allen, C. A. Paulsen, C. W. Kerber, W. P. Vanderlaan
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of corticotropin, growth hormone, thyrotropin, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone were measured in 28 patients with various neurologic disorders, in 49 patients with pituitary tumors of whom 22 had suprasellar extension, and in 6 patients with craniopharyngiomas. With the exception of 1 patient with pseudotumor cerebri, CSF adenohypophyseal hormone concentrations were low in patients with neurologic disease and in patients with pituitary tumor without suprasellar extension. In marked contrast, 21 of 22 patients with suprasellar extension of a pituitary tumor and 2 of 6 patients with a craniopharyngioma had elevations of one or more CSF adenohypophyseal hormones. Posttreatment CSF adenohypophyseal hormone levels fell from previously elevated levels in 4 of 5 patients. These data suggest that an elevated CSF adenohypophyseal hormone concentration is a sensitive indicator of suprasellar extension of a pituitary tumor, and posttreatment measurements are useful in determining efficacy of therapy.

Australian Open: Unseeded American Jenson Brooksby slays No.2 seed Casper Ruud
Unseeded American Jenson Brooksby has staged an improbable recovery to claim the biggest win of his career, sending world No.2 Casper Ruud packing in the second round of the Australian Open.
Brooksby looked a broken man – physically and mentally – after blowing three match points in the ninth game of the third set on Thursday.
The 22-year-old slumped to his chair during the changeover, muttering "How? How? How?" to himself and anyone else who cared to listen.
When Ruud claimed the resulting tiebreak, it seemed near-certain he would go on to seal victory.
But Brooksby somehow found the wherewithal to lift again, breaking the Norwegian's serve twice early in the fourth set before closing out the 6-3 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 upset on his fifth match point.
"Casper is a warrior and I knew it would be a great battle," said Brooksby, who is playing his maiden Australian Open, having missed the 2022 tournament due to a positive COVID-19 test.
"I'm really proud of my mental resolve after the third-set battle didn't go my way and to be able to turn it around."
His opponent in the third round will be fellow unseeded American Tommy Paul, who outlasted Spanish No.30 seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-2 2-6 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 6-4.

"That's going to be another battle for sure and hopefully we get a great court," Brooksby said.
Ruud's departure means the top two men's seeds have bowed out in the space of 24 hours after world No.2 and defending champion Rafael Nadal lost to another American, Mackenzie McDonald, on Wednesday.
Fifth-seeded Russian Andrey Rublev also booked his spot in the third round on Thursday with a convincing victory over Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori.
Rublev overcame a poor third-set tiebreak to win 6-2 6-4 6-7 (2-7) 6-3 in two hours, 42 minutes.
It's the fifth time the 25-year-old Rublev has advanced to at least the third round at Melbourne Park, where his best result yet was a run to the quarter-finals in 2021.
The world No.6 lost his opening matches of the two Adelaide International events this month to Thanasi Kokkinakis and Roberto Bautista-Agut but is starting to find his groove at the year's first grand slam.

His opponent in the round of 32 on Saturday will be Britain's Daniel Evans after the No.25 seed made short work of Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, winning 6-4 6-4 6-1.
Now an even shorter-priced favourite to claim a record-extending 10th title at Melbourne Park following Nadal's shock early exit, Novak Djokovic will take on Frenchman Enzo Couacaud in the opening match of the night session on Rod Laver Arena.
Eighth-seeded American Taylor Fritz was squaring off against Australian wildcard Alexei Popyrin, while Kokkinakis has a headline clash with five-time Open runner-up Andy Murray.

Religious communism is a form of communism that incorporates religious principles. Scholars have used the term to describe a variety of social or religious movements throughout history that have favored the common ownership of property.[1][2]
The term religious communism has been used to describe a variety of social or religious movements throughout history. The "commune of early Christians at Jerusalem" has been described as a group that practiced religious communism.[1][3] The teachings of Mazdak, a religious proto-socialist Persian reformer, have also been referred to as early communism.[4] According to Ben Fowkes and Bulent Gokay, Bolshevik Mikhail Skachko stated at the Congress of the Peoples of the East that "the Muslim religion is rooted in principles of religious communism, by which no man may be a slave to another, and not a single piece of land may be privately owned".[5]
T. M. Browning described religious communism as a form of communism that "springs directly from principles native to a religion",[1] and Hans Hillerbrand defined religious communism as religious movements that advocated the "communal ownership of goods and the concomitant abrogation of private property".[2] Browning and Hillerbrand have distinguished religious communism from political communism[1] and economic socialism.[2] Additionally, Hillerbrand has contrasted religious communism with Marxism, an ideology that called for eliminating religion.[2] Donald Drew Egbert and Stow Persons have noted that "[c]hronologically, religious communism tended to precede secular [communism]".[6] However, other scholars have also suggested that the traditional "political communism" or Marxism has always been a variety of religion.[7]
In Christian Europe, communists were believed to have adopted atheism. In Protestant England, communism was too close to the Roman Catholic communion rite; hence socialist was the preferred term.[8] Friedrich Engels argued that in 1848, when The Communist Manifesto was published, socialism was respectable in Europe while communism was not. The Owenites in England and the Fourierists in France were considered respectable socialists, while working-class movements that "proclaimed the necessity of total social change" denoted themselves as communists. This branch of socialism produced the communist work of Étienne Cabet in France and Wilhelm Weitling in Germany.[9]
Some scholars have used religious communism to describe some 17th-century Protestant movements that "disavow[ed] personal property".[2][10] Bhabagrahi Misra and James Preston described the "religious communism of the Shakers" as a "community in which all goods are held in common".[11] Larry Arnhart described "religious communism in the Oneida Community" as a system where "[e]xcept for a few personal items, they shared all their property".[12] Albert Fried wrote that "American religious communism reached its apogee" in the 1850s "[w]ith the rise of the Oneida community".[13]
According to Rod Janzen and Max Stanton, the Hutterites believed in strict adherence to biblical principles and "church discipline" and practiced a form of communism. The Hutterites "established in their communities a rigorous system of Ordnungen, which were codes of rules and regulations that governed all aspects of life and ensured a unified perspective. As an economic system, Christian communism was attractive to many of the peasants who supported social revolution in sixteenth century central Europe" such as the German Peasants' War and "Friedrich Engels thus came to view Anabaptists as proto-Communists".[14]
Other scholars have used the term religious communism to describe a communist social movement that developed in Paris in the 1840s, which was organized by "foreign-born, primarily German-speaking, journeyman-artisans who had settled there".[15] In the early 20th century, before the rise of Bolshevism in Russia, some intellectuals advocated for implementing a form of communism that incorporated Christian ideology "as an alternative to Marxism".[16] Additionally, some Catholic theologians organized groups in the late 20th century to create a dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Communist Party of Italy.[17]
Christian Communism
Main article: Christian communism
The teachings of Jesus are frequently described as communist by religious Christian communists.[18] Acts 4:35 records that in the early church in Jerusalem, "[n]o one claimed that any of their possessions was their own", although the pattern would later disappear from church history except within monasticism.[19] However, critics of socialism, including Catholic social teaching propounded by several Popes, argue that Christ was more communitarian than communist.
Christian communism is an early form of socialism and pre-Marxist communism based on Christianity. It is a theological and political theory based upon the view that the teachings of Jesus Christ compel Christians to support communism as the ideal social system. Although there is no universal agreement on the exact date when Christian communism was founded, many Christian communists assert that evidence from the Bible[20] suggests that the first Christians, including the apostles, established their small communist society in the years following Jesus' death and resurrection.[20] Many advocates of Christian communism argue that it was taught by Jesus and practiced by the apostles.[21] Some independent historians have supported this view.[22]
Some view the early Christian Church, as described in the Acts of the Apostles,[20] as an early form of communism and religious socialism. The view is that communism was just Christianity in practice, and Jesus was the first communist.[23] This link was highlighted in one of Karl Marx's early writings, which stated that "[a]s Christ is the intermediary unto whom man unburdens all his divinity, all his religious bonds, so the state is the mediator unto which he transfers all his Godlessness, all his human liberty".[23] Furthermore, Thomas Müntzer led a significant Anabaptist communist movement during the German Peasants' War which Friedrich Engels analyzed in The Peasant War in Germany. The Marxist ethos that aims for unity reflects the Christian universalist teaching that humankind is one and that there is only one god who does not discriminate among people.[24]
In the 16th century, English writer Thomas More, venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, portrayed a society based on common property ownership in his treatise Utopia, whose leaders administered it through reason.[25] Several groupings in the English Civil War supported this idea, especially the Diggers, who espoused clear communistic yet agrarian ideals.[26][27][28] Oliver Cromwell and the Grandees' attitude to these groups was, at best, ambivalent and often hostile.[29]
Criticism of the idea of private property continued into the Enlightenment era of the 18th century through such thinkers as the profoundly religious Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Raised a Calvinist, Rousseau was influenced by the Jansenist movement within the Roman Catholic Church. The Jansenist movement originated from the most orthodox Roman Catholic bishops who tried to reform the Roman Catholic Church in the 17th century to stop secularization and Protestantism. One of the main Jansenist aims was democratizing to stop the aristocratic corruption at the top of the Church hierarchy.[30] The participants of the Taiping Rebellion, who founded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a syncretic Christian-Shenic theocratic kingdom, are viewed by the Chinese Communist Party as proto-communists.[31]
Islamic communism
Main article: Islamic Marxism
Researchers have commented on the communistic nature of the society built by the Ismaili Qarmatians[32] around Al-Ahsa from the 9th to 10th centuries. Kenneth Rexroth describes their community as practicing "communism of the urban gang or the roving band of robbers", while Jacques Bidet states that communism is inherent to modernity, and so no example in antiquity or medieval times qualifies as true communism due to a lack of class consciousness in those eras.[33][34][35]
Islamic Marxism attempts to apply Marxist economic, political, and social teachings within an Islamic framework. An affinity between Marxist and Islamic ideals of social justice has led some Muslims to embrace forms of Marxism since the 1940s. Islamic Marxists believe that Islam meets the needs of society and can accommodate or guide the social changes Marxism hopes to accomplish. Islamic Marxists are also dismissive of traditional Marxist views on materialism and religion.[36]
