Saw this last night with Neil Gore and Richard Stone. sponsored by several trade unions.
A very truncated and fast-paced version of the iconic book of the same name, with lightning role changes, multi-purpose scenery, songs, audience participation - the lot.
The full thrust of the novel of course can't be contained within such a format, but the explanation of the lie that is capitalism is very well done in Act One, and the piece itself as a whole is bound to engage, to promote discussion and to stimulate thought on the subject even possibly leading to relevant study and research.
One of the best nights out at the theatre I can remember- entertaining and thought provoking.
Probably coming soon to a small intimate venue near you - i urge you to see it if you get the chance

Take away prisoners' books and you take away their only hope
From an article by Ricky Tomlinson:-
"From 1973 to 1975, I was a political prisoner of the Conservative government – charged with conspiracy because I had taken part in a building strike. I served time in 14 British prisons, mostly in solitary confinement because I refused to accept that I should be in prison.
My outlook on life changed completely in 1975 when a prison governor in Leicester gave me a book. He was a former bricklayer whose hands had been crippled by arthritis. He gave me a novel, 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists'. That book, published in 1914, and written by a house-painter, taught me more about our society than a hundred political speeches. It taught me that wealth is made by working people, not by bankers and bosses. It taught me that people cannot change things individually by turning their backs on their fellow worker or by robbing. We can make things better for ourselves if we join a trade union at work and speak as one powerful voice.
'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' should be given to every inmate when beginning a prison sentence. It's a book that explains why the likes of Grayling are in positions of power. It even explains why someone like him can use a cruel measure of preventing a prisoner from reading as a form of control and discipline.
Thanks to this government, prisoners may now only receive letters and cards from home. No life-changing books. But when any of Grayling's kind go to prison they don't suffer the same petty rules. Remember Jeffrey Archer? When he was inside he not only read books – he was allowed to write them!"

The petty spite constantly displayed by Ministers in this Coalition must surely be remembered by the electorate at the next General Election.

"The greatest, wealthiest and most powerful empire the world has ever seen."
That's what the American writer Jack London said when he visited Britain in 1902. Canada, India, Australia and many other colonies were pouring wealth into the country, but Mr London also noted the contradictions of that empire, with its underside of poverty, poor housing, sickness and unemployment. So what, if anything, has changed in over 110 years? The empire has gone (though we like to pretend that it hasn't with our MBEs, OBEs and CBEs), but Britain is the seventh richest country in the world and home to 104 billionaires who have, according to the 2014 Sunday Times Rich List, a combined wealth of more than £301 billion. Yet at the same time, at least 500,000 people are relying on foodbanks and about one-third of our children – between 3.5 and 4 million – are living in poverty.
On reading 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' (RTP) for the third time recently, I felt depressed at how the real improvements which have been made in the past century – council housing, the welfare state, the NHS and better health and safety at work – are now constantly under attack and being destroyed by the most malevolent government this country has seen for decades. RTP was written in Hastings around 1906-10 by a skilled Irish painter and decorator named Robert Noonan who used the pen name Robert Tressell. He changed the name of the town to Mugsborough and for some reason located it 200 miles from London (Hastings is only 66 miles away). The hero of the story, Frank Owen, uses the surname of the famous 19th century socialist Robert Owen, one of the founders of the co-operative movement. Grant Richards, the publisher of the first abridged version of the novel, called it "extraordinarily real and damnably subversive". An unabridged version was first published in 1955.
In March 2004, this comment was made on a website in the Philippines: "The injustices suffered by Frank Owen at the hands of the vicious foreman, the corrupt politicians, the hypocritical churchmen are all around me in Manila. It makes me so angry that we have made so little progress over 100 years." What makes me angry is that inequality in the UK has increased since the mid-1970s, often deliberately because of Tory government policies. We're told that once wealth is created, some of it will 'trickle down' to the masses, but in effect wealth has been flowing up to the very rich. What also makes me angry is that firms are hiring immigrants without even advertising their vacancies in this country, while a Tory donor named Adam Beecroft has produced a report advocating no-reason dismissals at work. That sounds worse than the situation in the RTP, where the foreman Hunter is ever on the watch for at least a token reason to sack a workman to enable another one to be employed more cheaply.
Tressell, as Frank Owen, attacks what we now call the 1%, most of whom are people who do absolutely nothing except devour or enjoy the things produced by the labour of others. His central argument is that money causes poverty, because it is "a device for enabling those who do not work to rob the workers of the greater part of the fruits of their toil". He says that there are enough raw materials in existence and plenty of machinery available. There is no shortage of jobs that need doing and no shortage of people to do them, but capitalism (which he calls 'the Money System') prevents that from happening and consequently causes the majority of the population to go short of the things that can be made by work.
Tressell emphasises the resistance of so many workers to the idea of changing the system which fleeces them. He says: "Some of them were under the delusion that they were Conservatives: similarly, others imagined themselves to be Liberals. As a matter of fact, most of them were nothing. They knew about as much about the public affairs of their own country as they did of the condition of affairs on the planet Jupiter." Perhaps Tressell goes some way to answering Nye Bevan's question: "How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? That's the whole art of Tory politics."
When Tressell talks about "newspapers, pubs and much popular culture as a class and state apparatus, moulding the ideology of working people towards a self-destructive passivity and acceptance of their situation", it's hard not to draw parallels with Britain today. In Tressell's time there were songs such as 'Work, Boys, Work', urging you to be contented with your lot, and 'Two Lovely Black Eyes' ('Only for telling a man he was wrong'), which instilled the virtue of keeping out of political arguments. We have mind-numbing distractions on television, such as 'The X Factor' and 'Britain's Got Talent', to stop us thinking about the asset-stripping of the state and the corruption of this government. And then, as much as I love it, we also have football to take our attention away from things that really matter.
In his introduction to the 2005 Oxford University Press edition of RTP, Peter Miles comments: "No book has ever explained more clearly or more ironically how working people have been the true 'philanthropists' and why, on account of their unwitting generosity to their 'betters' through the trick of the Money System, their fate should have been to remain ragged trousered." My overriding thought when re-reading RTP was that the issues haven't really changed since Tressell put pen to paper, making the book as relevant today as ever. Tony Benn used to argue that every generation has to re-fight the same battles, and he urged us to pass on RTP to our children and grandchildren. Let's make sure that we do.

Ivan - excellent review of the book, which is I believe as relevant today as it was in 1910 - and how that breaks my heart

a classic book this and good read too

In the preface to RTP, Tressell says that in his novel "no attack is made upon sincere religion", but his book contains little sign of any "sincere" religious characters. He talks of the 'Forty Thieves' – a term used in Sussex for the network of non-productive people lining each other's pockets (just as we have today) – and reveals hardly any evidence from them of "love your neighbour as yourself", even though that's supposed to be the second greatest commandment to all Christians.
In his introduction to the 2005 Oxford University Press edition of RTP, Peter Miles says: "Tressell, like many early socialists, had little argument with the moral teachings of Christ, but for him the value of Christianity in society stood or fell by the extent to which the Sermon on the Mount was put into practice personally and institutionally as a cornerstone philosophy of daily life and social policy."

For "this coalition", I think I might have chosen "mongol horde" there, Stu.
That is one that ought to be remembered OW but whether it will in 4 or 5 years time is a different matter is it not?

I've just downloaded this book and I'm already hooked after the first few pages. Thanks for the recommendation, Ivan.

All true, but what are the alternatives? Neither the Russian nor Chinese peoples achieved anything resembling economic freedom until they had exchanged Communism for Capitalism.
by Ivan Thu Sep 10, 2015 10:39 pm
'Economic freedom' is not all it's cracked up to be for many people, especially when it involves rampant inequality:-
A survey by Peking University in 2013 found that the top 5% of the country's households took home 23% of the total household income in 2012, while the bottom 5% earned just 0.1%. China's income inequality started rising when the country's former leader Deng Xiaoping launched market-oriented reforms and opened the economy in 1978.

I'd settle for a Scandinavian social democracy:-

Esmond Knight est un acteur anglais, né Esmond Penington Knight à East Sheen (Surrey, Angleterre) le , mort d'une crise cardiaque à Londres (Angleterre) le .

Biographie
Esmond Knight débute en 1925 au théâtre, où il sera très actif jusqu'en 1984, principalement à Londres, et en particulier dans les pièces de William Shakespeare. Hors l'Angleterre, il jouera une fois à Broadway (New York) en 1953.

Au cinéma, il apparaît de 1928 à 1987, notamment dans plusieurs films britanniques du tandem Powell-Pressburger, ou encore dans des réalisations de Laurence Olivier (dont ses adaptations de trois pièces de Shakespeare en 1944, 1948 et 1955), avec qui il a également collaboré au théâtre. Notons qu'en 1960, dans le film Coulez le Bismarck !, il interprète le rôle de capitaine du Prince of Wales, sur lequel il servait en 1941 lors des opérations contre le Bismarck.

Minneapolis, Minnesota: Bionic Pet Products is proud to announce the latest addition to their popular line of ultra-tough dog toys with the new Urban Stick. This toy was designed for throwing and fetching, and is specifically formulated to handle the most aggressive chewing and playing.
Bionic's unique design keeps dogs engaged and will make games of fetch last much longer. The toy's weighted ends create a spiral motion and is great for medium distance throwing. Contoured ridges create a grip for effortless throwing and an uneven surface that dogs love to chew on. In addition to being a great throw toy, the Urban Stick is also an ultra durable chew toy, and can be used as a tug toy. The toy's open center can be stuffed with treats when it's time to give your dog a much-deserved reward.
Available in four sizes, the Urban Stick is ergonomically shaped for each dog's bite and strength. By creating four specifically designed variations of the new toy, instead of just scaling the toy to various sizes, Bionic ensures the highest level of durability for a wide range of dog sizes.
Like the rest of Bionic line, the Urban Stick comes in an easy to see bright orange color, floats, and is dishwasher safe. All of Bionic's toys, including the Urban Stick, are made from FDA Food Grade materials that are non-toxic and meet the quality standards their customers have come expect.
Since Bionic's toys debuted in November 2011 they have earned a reputation as the most durable dog toys available around the world. They gained this reputation by creating a product that fewer than 5% of dogs can outsmart. The secret lies with the Bionic Rubber material, which has three dimensionally inter-woven molecules that creates superior strength and durability. Dogs and dog owners have come to love Bionic toys because they are bouncy, flexible and nearly puncture proof. Bionic leads the pack for durability while other toys can feel like a dime a dozen.
For more information, contact Steve Luhrs at 952-927-2220. Email: sluhrs@bionicplay.com Bionic Pet Products, 1100 Xenium Lane North, Plymouth, Minnesota 55441.

Forensic Fingerprinting Technology That Can Boost The Life Up!
Although the forensic sector has not been well developed in India, it has a vast effect in other countries that have helped them in a lot of solve cases and discover innovations. New researches, discoveries, and innovations always happen there that can set a new path for us too.
Recently, the researchers of United Kingdom's Loughborough University have developed an interesting and new discovery that can give a boost to solving crimes where defendants do not know a sheet of paper.
Huh, not understood? Ok, no worries, let's read the article further to know about that sheet. Fingerprints play a crucial role, not only in differentiating a person but how would it be when a case is solely relying on just a pattern of someone's finger?
There arises many cases where the innocent does not know some documents or papers but the case takes a 90° shift against them because of their fingerprint imprinted on that paper. The newly discovered innovation would help to identify whether the text was printed before or after the fingerprint was imprinted on the sheet of paper which can help defendants easily get out of stupid cases.
The technique has been developed by professor Paul Kelly with his former Ph.D. student, Roberto King. He told that normal techniques or devices normally tell about the presence of a fingerprint but his newly developed technique would be confirmed if the text was printed before or after the fingerprint was imprinted.
Developed at Foster + Freeman's labs at Loughborough's world-class science and enterprise park, LUSEP, the professor used gelatin pads in his technology.
The process involves placing a thin layer of gelatin pads over any fingerprint imprinted on a sheet of paper along with the text. The layer is gently removed and placed in a vacuum chamber and filled with disulfer dinitride vapor, which reacts with the sample.
The results come up with two options; either as a masked fingerprint, indicating the text was printed before the imprinting of the fingerprint, or complete masked, indicating that the text was printed after the fingerprint was imprinted.
The benefit of using this method is that the text and/or the fingerprint will not be lost, that is, the content of the document will not be damaged and therefore it can be used for further forensic testing if needed. In conclusion, the method can be used in future and fraudulent cases.

Anyone can go buy a stock bike off a dealer's lot, but when you're riding this Triumph Bonneville Pegaso, you can be confident you won't see anyone else riding one — because it's truly one of a kind. With this custom bike, Tamarit Spanish Motorcycles put their own spin on a 2006 Triumph, aiming to create an off-roader that's ready for anything. That includes manufacturing some of their own parts, like the bash plate, chain guard, and foot pegs. And when you add in the rugged Renthal handle bars, front fender, knobby tires, exhaust, and classic scrambler seat, it's more than capable off tackling unchartered paths.
It's not every day you get a chance to own the very first model of a new motorcycle, but that's exactly what you'll find in the Midual Type 1 Motorcycle. Inspired by classic European cars and bikes from the '30s and '50s, this great-looking ride is powered by 1036 cc flat-twin engine pumping out 106hp that's paired with a 6-speed transmission with a multi-plate clutch and an electric starter. Other features include a double-wall aluminum alloy monocoque that acts as the fuel tank and body, a cantilever rear suspension, Brembo brakes, 17-inch wheels, and the ability to draw attention anywhere you ride it.
It's true that the Bandit9 Bishop Motorcycle is listed as being a Honda SuperSport, but one look at this limited edition custom will tell you there's little left of its prior identity. Powered by a 90cc-125cc engine, the Bishop features a high-grade aluminum unibody, either walnut, oak, or teak burl panels, a custom exhaust, muffler, and suspension, a charcoal grey suede seat, an electric starter, and LED brake lights encased in quartz glass. If you like what you see, you'd best hurry — only nine are being built.

Seamless integration of command and control, radar detection, tracking, target selection and real-time allocation of a kinetic weapon or directed energy.
C4 EDGE – THE NEXT PHASE
A highlight of the conference was Matt Jones' Land Forces Hub presentation, "C4 EDGE – the NEXT Phase". C4 EDGE as an Australian first, leveraged the expertise and cutting-edge technologies across 31 industry team members, its aim to provide Army an understanding of Australian's industry readiness to contribute to future major acquisition programs by seeking to deliver world class, technologically competitive sovereign C4 capabilities.
The consortium led by EOS Defence Systems successfully demonstrated the C4EDGE sovereign Battlegroup and Below Battlefield Command System prototype to the Australian Army in December 2021.
"C4 EDGE has moved the Australian industry needle on the dial closer to more support and exploit the capability that already exists in Australian industry to support the ADF", said Matt Jones, Executive Vice President, Defence Systems . "I can't say we've won the battle but the success of C4 EDGE has demonstrated and built more trust into how the department thinks about what Australian industry can actually offer."

Cops Arrested Her for Exercising Her First Amendment Rights. They Got Qualified Immunity—but the Appeals Court Wasn't Having It.
"This is not just an obvious constitutional infringement—it's hard to imagine a more textbook violation of the First Amendment."
Billy Binion | 11.3.2021 4:20 PM
Media Contact & Reprint Requests
(Illustration: Lex Villena; Cristi Bucurie | Dreamstime.com, Tinnakorn Jorruang)
Whether you can exercise your First Amendment rights freely depends, in some cases, on where you live and what judges happen to hear your plea, should you try to seek accountability for government reprisal against your civil liberties.
One such case is that of Priscilla Villarreal, a journalist in Laredo, Texas, who in 2017 was arrested after publishing two stories that ruffled feathers in the community: one surrounding a U.S. Border Patrol agent who committed suicide, the other which confirmed the identity of a family who had died in a fatal car crash.
Villarreal was no stranger to breaking stories with sensitive details on her Facebook page, which currently boasts over 190,000 followers. Nor was she cozy with local law enforcement, having cultivated a reputation as a citizen journalist who focuses on police misconduct and the justice system in videos she posts online infused with colorful commentary. She once live-streamed a video of an officer choking someone during a traffic stop, for example, and she drew the ire of a district attorney after publicly rebuking him for dropping an arrest warrant for someone accused of animal abuse.
But Villarreal found herself in a jail cell after breaking those two relatively benign stories concerning deaths in the community, charged with two third-degree felony counts of "misuse of official information" under Texas Penal Code § 39.06(c). That she asked for and obtained the information in typical journalistic fashion—from the Laredo Police Department (LPD) itself—didn't matter to the cops, who zeroed in on Villarreal as the first person they would ever seek to prosecute under that Texas statute.
The charges were eventually dismissed as baseless and the law ruled unconstitutionally vague. But those officers were given qualified immunity for violating her First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and 14th Amendment rights when they arrested and detained her, thus preventing her from holding them accountable in civil court. The legal doctrine of qualified immunity protects public officials from facing civil suits if the precise way they went about violating your rights was not "clearly established" by the courts at the time.
Yet in a testament to the subjectivity of the decisions surrounding what should be objective liberties, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit Monday rejected the lower court's reasoning, removing qualified immunity from the cops on the bulk of Villarreal's claims and permitting her to state her case before a jury.
"This is not just an obvious constitutional infringement—it's hard to imagine a more textbook violation of the First Amendment," wrote Judge James C. Ho. "If the freedom of speech secured by the First Amendment includes the right to curse at a public official, then it surely includes the right to politely ask that official a few questions as well." Villarreal asked those questions of LPD Officer Barbara Goodman, who of her own free will provided the journalist with the information she requested.
The 5th Circuit likewise sided with Villarreal on her wrongful arrest claim, as well as her allegation that the cops violated the Equal Protection Clause to selectively enforce the law against her.
Much about the decision is noteworthy. Ho, for one, is by no means known for his opposition to qualified immunity; the judge previously said that police officers must retain the protections in order "to stop mass shootings." So it's significant that Ho emphasized that the 5th Circuit need not find a nearly indistinguishable precedent in order to show that the constitutional right at issue was "clearly established"—which is often the defining element of a qualified immunity case, and the reason why the doctrine has greenlit so much egregious government misconduct, like stealing, assault, and property damage.
To support his position, Ho cited the Supreme Court's 2020 decision in Taylor v. Riojas, which dealt with a group of prison guards who originally received qualified immunity after forcing a naked inmate into two deplorable cells swarming with human feces and raw sewage. The Supreme Court overturned that grant of qualified immunity and rejected the notion that the victim could not sue simply because he couldn't pinpoint a ruling that matched his experience almost identically.
That's not necessary here either, said Ho: The constitutional violation is just that absurdly apparent.
"Crucially, the decision also says that officers can't hide behind obviously unconstitutional statutes," says Jaba Tsitsuashvili, an attorney at the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm that filed an amicus brief in support of Villarreal. "In other words…'we were just enforcing the law' is not a categorical defense against a civil lawsuit for violating" a constitutional right.
Perhaps ironically, the 5th Circuit's decision Monday coincided with the Supreme Court declining to hear Frasier v. Evans, a case in which a group of Denver police officers received qualified immunity after conducting a warrantless search of a man's tablet in an attempt to delete a video he took of the officers beating a suspect during an arrest for an alleged drug deal.
Put more bluntly, the way you exercise your First Amendment rights may or may not be protected based solely on where you live and which federal circuit court you are subject to. The 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Circuits have all confirmed what might be obvious to most: that the government cannot exact revenge on you for filming police on duty, a lever used to hold them to account. In some places, however, they can indeed retaliate and evade accountability for that, too—just as Villarreal almost missed her opportunity to do so, had the 5th Circuit not overturned the lower court's decision.
"It creates this territorially arbitrary vindication of rights, where if you're in one state you may be able to vindicate a constitutional right," says Tsitsuashvili, "but if you happen to be in a neighboring state that sits in a different judicial circuit, you won't have any recourse for essentially the exact same behavior."

Fist of Etiquette
The constitutional violation is just that absurdly apparent.
There are plenty of examples of absurdly apparent constitutional violations, and ones without a certain air of legislative respectability. That seems arbitrary. The fact that this statute is obviously unconstitutional is also in dispute.
As this article itself demonstrates, constitutionality as far as criminal justice or civil liability are concerned is very much in the eye of the beholder. Constitutionality is so "absurdly" subjective that it creates a huge uneven mess even without tossing qualified immunity into the mix. Perhaps judging the constitutionality of legislation before it's put into practice should be part of any solution.

Maybe we should have all of our elected and appointed officials take some sort of oath to protect and defend the constitution.....

At the least they should be made to repeat the text in their swearing in ceremony. Doubt many have even bothered to read it.
With real penalties for violating said oath? That might be a key ingredient.
Squirrelloid
Are you claiming its seriously in dispute that asking government officials questions is protected by the 1st amendment? Because the law seems to necessarily disprove of that, if receiving said information is illegal.
(If the government official shouldn't give you that information, and they do, that's on them, not the person asking, otherwise the 1st amendment is meaningless).
See that's what Sleepy Joe is doing with the press corp, just making sure that they don't violate the Constitution!
mpercy
While on the other hand he's trying to "subsidize" the press, while trying to pretend that he's not trying to make the press a bought-and-paid-for arm of the state.
There's no way I'm suggesting that those rights don't exist. They very much do. But that the law was passed and defended before the court means its constitutionality was in dispute. Lawmakers pass laws that violated our rights all the time (that fact being the reason for the BoR, of course) and judges uphold those violations. The dispute isn't whether or not they exist, it's whether or not they'll be consistently honored and we know that they won't, obvious or not.
Dr. Ormand von Kleigstadt
Being taken from your own home in handcuffs and arrested and held in a jail cell without any criminal charges (or bogus ones, even worse) for airing video or stating an opinion is blatantly unconstitutional.
WC46
I've often wondered why laws have always enjoyed AN AUTOMATIC ASSUMPTION OF CONSTITUTIONALITY when they're signed into effect.
I think every last law passed should have to undergo the strictest possible scrutiny before the governor or president can even sign off on it.
Why should any citizen have to spend their life's savings plus some in order to fight an unconstitutional law and why should they lave to live decades with being done wrong before they can finally have justice?
It only takes a split instant to be totally screwed by an unjust or unconstitutional law, but it takes decades to finally get justice. And sometimes justice never comes. You just have to live with getting royally screwed.

Good thing we are all focused on making sure everyone uses new pronouns and preventing disagreeable tweets. Otherwise, we the people might notice things like this ...
La dee daaaa....James C. Ho, ANOTHER Republican appointed judge. I mean, when it comes to qualified immunity or any of the other police overreach issues, I can tell you what the court's decision will be simply by looking at who appointed the judge presiding. It's one of the few areas where the Democrat team of the fake duopoly is actually a lot better than the alternative.
I'll take Willet over Ho.
https://reason.com/2021/07/07/trump-judicial-appointees-clash-over-qualified-immunity-and-the-woke-constitution/
bacchys
While it's a welcome decision I think is correct, it's also likely a unicorn. Ho (and many other judges) will be waving away even more egregious conduct with qualified immunity until either Court or Congress gets rid of it.
This doctrine was created out of thin air by SCOTUS. There is no law to repeal. There's only the need to legislate it out of existence.
Funny how the only boundless right activists like Binion can find is their rights. Modern journolists have no ethics beyond expressions of power so I wouldn't expect him to understand that not all information you can get your hands on should be widely distributed.
What purpose was served by naming these people, curious absence that bit of "journalism" from the story. Was she doxing a grieving family for ideological purposes, or calling officials to account more directly than other news orgs?
Should that law be on the books, probably not, but arbitrary enforcement of laws can't be tolerated either. But baseline enforcement of active law is not itself an infringement. Complain all you want if the law is enforced now that it has been voided for vagueness but at the time that wasn't the officers decision to make.
Contenesia
long live the common people
YearofAction
"Crucially, the decision also says that officers can't hide behind obviously unconstitutional statutes...In other words, 'we were just enforcing the law' is not a categorical defense against a civil lawsuit for violating a constitutional right."
So now, in the 5th judicial circuit, if local law enforcement officers are compelled to enforce the prohibition of cannabis plants because the federal law that inaccurately defines marijuana has been unconstitutionally malformed for 84 years with the same word-for-word, unnecessary and improper features of racism, duplicity, and circumlocution that enabled federal law enforcement officials to self-servingly misconstrue that law to prohibit cannabis plants from citizens, then the officers can no longer rely on qualified immunity to shield them from lawsuits by those citizens whose cannabis plants they confiscated?

Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) was born on November 18 in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka India and lived to be over a hundred years old. His parents were Sri Tirumalai Srinvasa Tattacharya, a well-known teacher of the Vedas, and Shrimati Ranganayakamma and he was the eldest with six brothers and sisters.
Krishnamacharya spent much of his youth traveling through India studying the six darshanas or Indian philosophies: Vaisheshika, Nyaya, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa and Vedanta. His students include many of today's most influential teachers: Sri BKS Iyengar, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the late Indra Devi and Krishnamacharya's own son T.K.V. Desikachar. Although his knowledge and teaching has influenced yoga throughout the world he never left his native India over the course of his life. It is important to note that Jois and Iyengar teach based on their own experiences with Krishnamacharya in the 1930's in Mysore, when they were both young men; their styles are reflective of yoga that is appropriate to younger students and thus heavily empahasise asana practice. However teachers such as T.K.V. Desikachar, Kausthub Desikachar and the lesser-known Srivatsa Ramaswami teach a broader part of Krishanamacharya's teachings, noting that yoga is more than just asana and must be tuned to the student, taking account of health, energy, physique, gender, place and age.
Shri Krishna Pattabhi Jois was born on the full moon day of July, 1915, Guru Purnima day. His ancestral village, Kowshika, near Hassan in Karnataka State, is inhabited by maybe 500 people and has one main street. At one end of the street is a Vishnu temple, just next to Pattabhi Jois' home. At the far end of the street, just 100 yards away, lies a small Ganapati temple, and just opposite, a Siva temple. Both are several hundreds years old, and are the focus of the village.
Pattabhi Jois's father was an astrologer and a priest, who acted as the pujari for many of the families in the village. From an early age, as most brahmin boys, Pattabhi Jois was taught the Vedas and Hindu rituals.
Guruji wished to attend the Sanskrit University of Mysore. With two rupees in his pocket, he left with two friends. They traveled the 100 plus kilometers by bike, over dirt roads. For the first year or two, life was very difficult. With very little money, he begged for his food from some of the brahmin houses. Guruji attended classes and did his studies. Then, around 1930, he went to a yoga demonstration and saw that it was his Guru. He came forward and prostrated, and they recommenced their relationship, and Guruji his yoga studies.
Derek was born in Brighton England in 1949 and during his teen years he excelled in sports and music. Later on in his twenties he continued training and started working as a punk-rock group manager. It was not until his thirties in the 70's that he got introduced into Yoga. He then studied for six years in the Sivananda ashram in the Bahamas by Robert Moses where he had his first encounter with the method of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. He later found himself practising in New York with Leslie Kaminoff, Norman Allen and Tridham Das, the team of the first ever Ashtanga yoga teachers in the West.
In the middle of 80's he visited Mysore and studied with his guru Sri. K. Pattabhi jois for several years. He established the first Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga center in Europe in the north of Crete in 1989 where he would train some of today's most famous Ashtanga Yoga teachers. At the same time he would travel around Europe offering workshops and seminars while he established a particular teaching method. He set up the foundation of contemporary yoga teaching based on verbal adjustments, a method that was welcome and well integrated in the Western society. Moreover he defined the standards of the professional yoga teacher by setting a perfect example for all his students who are currently running schools all around the world.
Derek' charismatic presence is still and inspiration so much for yoga teachers as well as ardent practitioners all over the world who are proud to be part of the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
Manju Jois, Ashtanga Yoga guru of Mysore, South India, is the oldest son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, recognized worldwide as the foremost authority on Ashtanga Yoga. Manju was born on November 16th, 1944. At the young age of 7, Manju was awakened early each day by his father to begin lessons that would forever change the course of his life and the lives of those who would study with him in the years to come. He began his teaching career at the age of 15 with his father and has taught ever since.
Manju considers it a great honor to be the son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. "He is my father and my teacher. I am grateful for both my mother and my father."

Paramedic in helicopter crash out of the hospital, ready to work again
ALEXANDRIA, Minn. -- In September, Miles Weske of Nisswa faced an uncertain future. He was left fighting for his life after being on board a medical helicopter that crashed in Alexandria.
By Beth Leipholtz / Forum News Service
More than three months later, Weske's future is much more certain and bright. The flight paramedic was released from the hospital on Nov. 18. He is set to return to work on Jan. 1 and will be getting married to his fiancee, Brooklyn Weber, on Jan. 28.
"It really is a new chapter of my life being home with Brook (Weber) and the kids," Weske said. "All of those in the hospital that cared for me were critical parts of my recovery, but I think that it took me actually being home to get the motivation to get out of bed and work hard to get back to as normal as I can be."
On Saturday, Sept. 17, Weske, a paramedic with North Memorial Air Ambulance service and a ground paramedic for Cuyuna Regional Medical Center and North Memorial Ambulance, was in the back seat of the helicopter when it crashed north of the Alexandria Municipal Airport about 2 a.m. The aircraft had been en route to pick up a patient at the Douglas County Hospital before poor weather forced the helicopter to attempt a landing at the airport.
Others in the helicopter included Pilot Joshua Jones, 47, and flight nurse Scott Scepaniak, 44. Jones and Scepaniak were initially in serious condition at North Memorial Medical Center, but were released.
Weske suffered the most severe injuries, including fractures of his C2 and C3 vertebrae, a liver laceration, multiple broken ribs, a broken sternum, broken femur, broken ankle, collapsed lungs and blood in his lungs.
After being on the other side of a medical emergency, Weske says his appreciation of emergency personnel has intensified.
"I have realized the impact that EMS workers and hospital personnel have on the medical care of patients," Weske said. "Being on this side of things definitely makes me take time to look at everyone who is involved in the collaborative effort of patient care. I wouldn't be here without the help of each person that was present that night."
Additionally, Weske says he now has an even deeper admiration for his fiancee, who is a flight nurse.
"It made me realize how lucky I am to have an advocate like Brook by my side," he said. "She's literally the smartest nurse I know, and on top of it she was there to help manage my care and keep everyone up-to-date on my condition."
A new normal As they've spent the past month and a half adjusting to a new way of life, Weske and Weber have found new appreciation in the little things, including being together with the couple's combined six children.
"Spending the holidays at home with our family was a feeling I can't adequately explain," Weber said. "Early on, I didn't know if I would ever get to spend another holiday with my soulmate, so getting to spend time with him is simply a miracle. And to be home is stressful, but I have Miles by my side, so I couldn't ask for a better life."
Though Weske is on the road to recovery, he still faces some medical issues. He has extensive nerve damage in his feet and left hand, which is the biggest challenge he is dealing with.
"His left hand and finger function may not be coming back, so Miles is learning new ways to do things," Weber said. "Walking is also something that Miles is working on. … He is currently using the walker and canes and is starting to walk on his own now."
Weber has stayed busy caring for Weske, returning to work and planning a wedding. However, she says the chaos of day-to-day life is worth it with Weske by her side.
"I have so much to get done in just a month, but I figure that if the worst thing that could go wrong is not having my (wedding) decorations finished, then I am doing pretty good with life," Weber said. "Everything I have ever worried about seems so insignificant now."
Weske is also looking forward to the wedding. But first, he is excited to return to work. Though he won't be in a helicopter in the near future, returning to that aspect of his job does not scare Weske, despite going through what he has.
"I am a paramedic," Weske said. "I always will be and I want to get back in that helicopter as soon as I can."

The next phase of the project, to deliver FPSO Prosperity, remains subject to government approvals, project sanction and authorization.
We are working on a number of initiatives to ensure that the Company will deliver value for the longer term on a sustainable basis. These range from decarbonizing our production facilities to developing new products for the gas and renewables markets. The Company is investing in a prototype of its S3 Wave Energy Converter (WEC). We plan to deploy it offshore Monaco in 2021. Although still in Research and Development phase, we believe that this technology has the potential to be a disruptive innovation in the renewables market.

Fuel supplies will normalise from December to April next year
Face of Malawi > National News > Fuel supplies will normalise from December to April next year
President Joyce Banda says fuel supplies will normalise from next month to April next year following a US$250 million (about K80 billion) agreement signed between the government and PTA Bank to provide a facility for purchasing fuel.
Banda said this yesterday at a press conference that was conducted at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe upon her arrival from a Comesa summit in Uganda.
There has been erratic fuel supply in the country this month and this resulted in people buying petrol and diesel from the black market where it is pegged at K1,000 a litre, about K400 more than the pump price.
"Shortage of fuel was due to logistics and forex shortage. But Malawi has reached an agreement with the PTA Bank which will provide millions of dollars for fuel supply," said Banda in a speech monitored on state controlled Malawi Broadcasting Cooperation (MBC).
She said of the US$250,000 facility from PTA Bank, US$150,000, would be used for buying fuel while US$100 million would be used for buying fertiliser for the subsidy programme.
She said the fuel situation would normalise from December to April next year following the credit agreement.
"Time has come for the country to address the problem once and for all," she said.
She appealed to the private sector to ensure that it generates enough foreign exchange for the country.
On tripartite elections, Banda said her government was ready to conduct three elections in 2014, adding "local councillors elections were more important that general elections."
She also accused critics of politicising her gesture of distributing maize and flour to hunger-striken families.
"I sourced the maize to complement the efforts of government and other non-governmental organisations in helping the families that are affected by hunger. Let us join hands to help families that are suffering," she appealed.
On Lake Malawi border dispute with Tanzania, the president said the lake belongs to Malawi since time immemorial and appealed to Malawians to remain calm.
She said the issue has been referred to former heads of state. The president also said she does not hold any grudges against opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) president Atupele Muluzi who resigned as Economic Planning Minister.
She described him as a hard working minister who was also ready to learn.
At the Comesa Summit, she handed over her chairmanship to this year's host President Yoweri Museveni, among other functions.
