World Rugby to implement stricter checks on elected officials following concerns over 2020 election
01/08/2021 RUGBY, SPORTS AND RECREATION
PARIS (AFP) – World Rugby is to introduce a "fit and proper" person's test for elected officials, rugby union's global governing body said on Thursday (Jan 7).
The move, recommended by a working group led by former British sports minister Hugh Robertson, follows accusations of backroom deals in the vote for a new chairman.
In July, lobby group Pacific Rugby Player Welfare (PRPW) called for an independent review of the May election, when incumbent chairman Bill Beaumont defeated pro-reform candidate Agustin Pichot.
PRPW cited media reports claiming the French Rugby Federation (FFR), which backed Beaumont, offered Fiji preferential treatment in return for its vote.
The organisation questioned how Fiji Rugby Union chairman Francis Kean, who was convicted of manslaughter in 2007, was appointed to the World Rugby Council.
"We are undertaking this important and necessary process with the ambition of implementing and living the best possible standards of good governance, furthering the effectiveness and diversity of our structures, ensuring they reflect the values and universality of the game," Beaumont said of Robertson's review in a World Rugby statement.
"We are heading in a very encouraging direction – that enables us to best achieve our purpose of growing the sport worldwide by making it more relevant and accessible.
"All of the governance practices, processes and procedures we implement must be implemented meaningfully with that purpose in mind."
Robertson's review, which was launched in June and was former British and Irish Lions captain Beaumont's idea, also calls for the establishment of an ethics and conduct charter for elected officials, a target of at least 40 per cent of women on committees and player representation throughout all the committee structures.
"I am delighted that the World Rugby Council have given their full endorsement to the interim package of recommendations made by a very engaged and progressive working group," Robertson told AFP.
"These actions will strengthen diversity and inclusion and, for the first time, introduce an independent ethics structure."
An update on the findings will be made to the World Rugby Council in May.
"We are at 'half-time'," explained Robertson. "In the second half, we will consider the structure of the executive committee and the definition and classification of a diverse and growing family of national member unions."
New Zealand will host the 2021 women's Rugby World Cup before France stages the men's competition two years later.

Q: target.attr is not a function, length undefined jquery onclick I have these two on click events for two different classes, they have one part of the code that is the same for both of them, so I tried making a function that would contain the part of the code which is the same, and then cal, that function inside onclick, but I keep getting one error.
This is the code that works properly:
$(list).on('click', function() {

    $(arrow).removeClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
    $(listItem).removeClass(listItem_expanded);
    $(list).addClass("mobile-select--sticky");
    var windowHeight = $(window).height();
    var documentHeight = $(document).height();
    var target = $(this.getAttribute('href'));
    if (target.length) {
      //prevent default bhebahvior
      event.preventDefault();
      var topDistance = target.offset().top;
      var bottomDistance = documentHeight - topDistance;
      if (windowHeight > bottomDistance) {
        $(container).css('padding-bottom', topDistance + 'px');
      };
      var stickyTopHeight = $(list).outerHeight();
      $('html, body').stop().animate({
        scrollTop: target.offset().top - stickyTopHeight - 150
      }, 1000);

        if($(window).width() <= 769) {
            $('html, body').stop().animate({
                scrollTop: target.offset().top - stickyTopHeight - 100
            }, 1000);
        }
    }
    if($(window).width() <= 769) {
        if (!$(this).hasClass(list_expanded)) {
            $(this).addClass(list_expanded);
            $(arrow).addClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
            $(listItem).addClass(listItem_expanded);

        } else {
            $(this).removeClass(list_expanded);
            // $(this).slideUp();
            $(arrow).removeClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
            $(listItem).removeClass(listItem_expanded);
        }
    }
    if ($(window).width() > 769) {
        $(this).addClass(list_expanded);
        $(arrow).addClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
        $(listItem).addClass(listItem_expanded);
    }

});

$(link).on('click', function() {

    $(arrow).removeClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
    $(listItem).removeClass(listItem_expanded);
    $(list).addClass("mobile-select--sticky");
    var windowHeight = $(window).height();
    var documentHeight = $(document).height();
    var target = $(this.getAttribute('href'));
    if (target.length) {
        //prevent default bhebahvior
        event.preventDefault();
        var topDistance = target.offset().top;
        var bottomDistance = documentHeight - topDistance;
        if (windowHeight > bottomDistance) {
            $(container).css('padding-bottom', topDistance + 'px');
        }
        var stickyTopHeight = $(list).outerHeight();
        $('html, body').stop().animate({
            scrollTop: target.offset().top - stickyTopHeight - 150
        }, 1000);
        if($(window).width() <= 769) {
            $('html, body').stop().animate({
                scrollTop: target.offset().top - stickyTopHeight - 100
            }, 1000);
        }
    }
});

And this is what I tried doing but with zero luck, since I've been getting these errors: Uncaught TypeError: target.attr is not a function
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
function doSomething(target) {
target = target || $(this);
$(arrow).removeClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
$(listItem).removeClass(listItem_expanded);
$(list).addClass("mobile-select--sticky");
var windowHeight = $(window).height();
var documentHeight = $(document).height();
if (target.attr('href').length) {
    //prevent default bhebahvior
    event.preventDefault();
    var topDistance = target.offset().top;
    var bottomDistance = documentHeight - topDistance;
    if (windowHeight > bottomDistance) {
        $(container).css('padding-bottom', topDistance + 'px');
    };
    var stickyTopHeight = $(list).outerHeight();
    $('html, body').stop().animate({
        scrollTop: target.offset().top - stickyTopHeight - 150
    }, 1000);

    if($(window).width() <= 769) {
        $('html, body').stop().animate({
            scrollTop: target.offset().top - stickyTopHeight - 100
        }, 1000);
    }
}

}
$(list).on('click', function() {
doSomething($(this));
if($(window).width() <= 769) {
    if (!$(this).hasClass(list_expanded)) {
        $(this).addClass(list_expanded);
        $(arrow).addClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
        $(listItem).addClass(listItem_expanded);

    } else {
        $(this).removeClass(list_expanded);
        // $(this).slideUp();
        $(arrow).removeClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
        $(listItem).removeClass(listItem_expanded);
    }
}
if ($(window).width() > 769) {
    $(this).addClass(list_expanded);
    $(arrow).addClass("mobile-select__arrow--active")
    $(listItem).addClass(listItem_expanded);
}

});
$(link).on('click', doSomething);
I just wanted to try and write these events in a shorter way. Is that possible?

A: This is probably the one that's failing:
$(link).on('click', doSomething);

The doSomething function expects its one argument to be a jQuery object for a DOM element, but the click event passes the event object, not the element which invoked the event.  You can pass the element as a jQuery object the same way you do in your other click handler:
$(link).on('click', function () { doSomething($(this)); });

Artists To Receive 45 Million For Cartel Labels Rampant Copyright Infringement
Today is a great day for some of those who make music for the rest of us to enjoy, many Canadian artists and songwriters will finally be paid for works they had created many years ago under a settlement thought to be on the lean side of the 6 Billion initial claim.
http://www.p2pnet.net/story/47669
The four major record labels that comprise the Canadian Recording Industry Association – EMI Music Canada Inc., Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., Universal Music Canada Inc. and Warner Music Canada Co. – have agreed to pay $45 million to settle one of the largest copyright class action lawsuits in Canadian history.
The settlement comes after years of fruitless efforts to get the industry to pay for works it used without permission.
The claims arise from a longstanding practice of the recording industry in Canada, described in the lawsuit as "exploit now, pay later if at all." It involves the use of works that are often included in compilation CDs (ie. the top dance tracks of 2009) or live recordings. The record labels create, press, distribute, and sell the CDs, but do not obtain the necessary copyright licences.
One has to question why it is that when labels do this its 150 dollars per infringement but if you or I did this it would incur the wrath of many artists foaming at the mouth, spitting teeth and demanding nothing short of the death penalty
I hope this serves as a timely reminder to all those up and coming artists thinking of signing their rights away to a monopolist affiliated recording company with its less that wholesome practices when it comes to keeping their side of the contract. After all it makes more sense to sue those actually stealing from you than it does to penalise your fans who are happy to buy your work and sing your praises.


Viral pandemics can arise rapidly and unexpectedly, necessitating the prompt development and administration of relevant vaccines. Nonetheless, despite our impressive knowledge of immunological pathways, cell-types, molecules, and pathways, we have little understanding of how effective, integrated immune responses to vaccination are composed. Indeed, we have conspicuously poor understanding of normality in human immune function, and hence few effective measures of it . Our study was designed to redress this situation. Longitudinal molecular, cellular, and functional immune-monitoring was undertaken in a cohort of >150 healthy volunteers, resident in the UK, either side of a richly adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine, with blood sampling at day -7; day 0 [vaccine]; day +1; day +7; day +14; day +63. The data to be presented will reflect gene expression profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, multiplex detection of serum cytokines and chemokines and cell phenotyping, as reconciled with initial clinical phenotype [fever/adverse events [AE] vs asymptomatic] and downstream outcome measures. The results attest to the practicality of immune-monitoring, and its capacity to provide new knowledge concerning the stability and dynamics of human immune measures. Of note, gene expression profiles diverged overtly at day +1, according to symptoms, but largely re-converged by day +7 to a B cell-rich response. Specific genes were associated with AE, but these were not those that were anticipated a priori. Highly significant changes in numerous serum inflammatory markers were detected at day +1. Hence, the study highlights the potential of novel markers of immune responsiveness. The study likewise permits the search for specific markers and overall immune profiles that predict the functional response to vaccination. The intrinsic content of such studies, and their comparison with similar studies conducted elsewhere, help establish the normal range of human immune function and should thereby facilitate the identification of immune pathology. At the same time, logistical and other challenges relating to immune monitoring will be discussed.


Even though Texas is an "at will" employment state — meaning employers or employees can end the employment relationship at any time, with or without reason — there are certain situations where an employer's termination may be considered wrongful. In these situations, you can file a claim against your employer and seek justice for the harm that you have suffered.
When you file a claim in these or any other circumstances involving wrongful discharge, you may be able to recover monetary damages from your employer. Your case may also lead to injunctions that guard others against illegal termination in the future.
At the Law Offices of Kell A. Simon, I have helped many clients assert their rights and stand up against wrongful termination. I am certified as a labor and employment law specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I will guide you through the complex legal process and help you seek to hold your employer accountable for its improper actions. I offer you the dedicated advocacy, insightful advice and compassionate counseling that you need when you find yourself a victim of wrongful termination.

The Alliance of British Drivers rejects a Highways Agency proposal to reduce the motorway speed limit on more than 30 miles of the M1 in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
The Highways Agency (HA) has begun a consultation 1 on reducing the motorway speed limit to 60mph on the M1 between junctions 28 (South Normanton) and 35A (north of Sheffield), a distance of around 31 miles. The stated reason is to improve air quality in the vicinity of the motorway and prevent concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and particulates from exceeding EU standards, which could lead to fines being imposed. In fact, most of the motorway south of Sheffield passes through predominantly rural areas, and it is only the section that runs between Sheffield and Rotherham, from junctions 33 to 35 (about 6 miles) that comes close to a large urban area.
The HA has already proposed that the M1 between junctions 28 and 35A should have its traffic capacity increased by implementing 'managed motorway' measures, which would include using the hard shoulder as a permanent running lane. Yet part of the reason for the proposed speed limit reduction is to discourage more drivers from using the motorway to take advantage of the reduced congestion! Indeed, the HA states that without the reduced maximum speed limit, the managed motorway schemes may be delayed or abandoned altogether, as the increased traffic levels could cause the EU's air quality targets to be exceeded.
It should be obvious that a reduction in the speed limit from 70 to 60mph will have a negligible impact on air quality. With the hard shoulder in use as a running lane, lanes 1 and 2 of the four lanes in each direction (i.e. the former hard shoulder and 'slow' lane) will be occupied mostly by heavy goods vehicles, coaches and those drivers of light vehicles who are travelling below 70mph anyway. Heavy vehicles, which produce the greatest quantities of nitrogen dioxide and particles, are already limited to speeds below 60mph, so their emissions will be unaffected. Most of the vehicles travelling at 70mph will be in lanes 3 and 4, closest to the central reservation and furthest from any roadside development.


Pinner Cricket Club was founded in 1835. It is considered one of the oldest Cricket Club in UK. In 2010, PCC celebrated there 175th year. They play in the Middlesex Championship. In 2009 the u15′s won their league and in 2010 the u11′s won their league too.
In March PCC made a call for help in the Pinner News magazine to find a new sponsor. We wanted to put something back in the community and felt this was a good opportunity to help, not only with sponsorship funds, but also provide valuable foot health advice and support to an active group.
We contacted Kam and came across a warm group of people from all ages united by a common passion: Cricket! So even when our knowledge about cricket is not that much, we decided to go for it and give them a hand.
We got free PCC t-shirts and an open invitation to attend their social facilities and participate in matches. We may even get some cricket lessons thrown in who knows?
We are looking forward to working with PCC over the coming year and wish them all the best for the season.
PCC members play all their home games at Montesole Playing Field in Pinner and anyone interested in contacting them can either pay them a visit or phone on 020 8866 9462, or even just email the website. All players, standards and ages welcome. We would encourage anyone interested in a community based activity to give serious consideration to joining PCC. The club needs to new members to grow and survive so go for it and call them.

This is only a brief history of the Church in Winchester. To read our history in its entirety,
Long before the first church of Christ building was located on the corner of Jefferson Street and Third Avenue North, many traveling ministers of the church of Christ would stop in Winchester and conduct services at the Courthouse or in a private home.
As the number increased they began meeting for worship in the Robert Donnell Schoolhouse. This was located on the lot where the Alexander homestead now stands at 111 North Cedar Street in Winchester.
In 1881, land was purchased and in 1885 an adjoining lot was given to the church. In 1886, the church building was erected on the corner of North Jefferson and Third Avenue North.
In 1894, this building burned and another church was built on the corner of North High and Second Avenue North. The congregation steadily increased in number, faith and dedication. Plans to expand were made by an additional purchase of land in 1920.
In 1962, land was purchased on South College Street to erect a new building. Our new building was erected and the first service was held on July 4, 1965. There were 368 in Sunday School on this date. Additional classrooms were necessary and a wing was added in 1973, making possible four additional classrooms on the main floor and a fellowship area in the basement. A new addition completed in 1985 added a new wing to the auditorium, three classrooms and a foyer was enlarged. In the late 1980's, additional property was purchased adjacent to the church building.
In 2004, an addition to our building was completed. Many uses of this addition includes pre-school, Bible classes, offices, fellowship, VBS activities, community activities, social events and recreational activities for all ages. An addition of this magnitude was made possible by the generosity of James and Ruby Vanzant who bequeathed a large sum of money to the church. (Although they did not seek recognition for their generosity it was proposed that this addition be named Vanzant Center.)
The Winchester Christian Academy was opened in 2007. Because of its successful beginning, the school added a two year old class in 2008. A major addition to the school was made in 2013 with classes now going through the fifth grade.
There have been many dedicated men and women that have served as elders, deacons, ministers, teachers, song leaders, secretaries and custodians.
The Winchester church has supported evangelism and mission work here and in other areas.
Many of our members go about doing good works. Our mission remains the same as when the first church met in Winchester; TO SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST.

Q: Is Facebook's client-side auth secure enough? I am considering facebook login for my site. Based on facebook based authentication, the user will be logged in to the site. And will continue to use it until he/she logs out from the site, irrespective of facebook login status. Like most of the other sites.
While looking into the FB's client-side login method, I notice that it's based on the signed_request data received from the fbsr_{app_id} cookie. And FB want's that to be exchanged for a valid short-lived access_token within 10 mins of it's issue, to validate the authentication request. (This 10 mins seems to be the best effort by FB to minimize the security hole.)
However, within this 10 mins, someone else can copy the cookie and without much difficulty, can make a successful attempt to login as the victim. This is a concern for me and would like to ask the following questions:

*

*Am I missing something here regarding the security aspects of FB's client-side authentication or it indeed has this weakness?

*Is there something I can do in my implementation to plug the gap, or is moving to FB's server-side authentication the only answer?

A: Whether you use the server side flow, or client side flow - they are both fully secure if used correctly.
As you mention, using the cookie option on a non-ssl based site is indeed a vulnerability, but this is one that is not controlled by Facebook.
If you want to avoid this attack vector altogether, don't use the cookie option, and instead pass the signed request from the frontend to the backend using your mechanism of choice, eg XHR over SSL.

Uh Oh, Apple iOS 9 May Be a Mobile Ad Killer
February 9, 2017 sristy
At its early-June Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple revealed, among other things, that the newest version of its iOS 9 operating systems will roll out this fall, free of charge.
What Apple didn't discuss, however, is the fact that its new iOS 9 mobile operating system, used in the company's popular iPhone, may ultimately prove to be quite costly to small business owners in that it enables users to literally block mobile ads.
This happens on the heels of a multitude of reports about the immense popularity of mobile-device usage among consumers (in fact, last year was the first year that mobile Internet traffic surpassed desktop traffic) as well as exhortations from thought leaders that small business owners capitalize on this skyrocketing trend by implementing a responsive Web design to ensure a seamless mobile experience for all potential website visitors.
Google finally made mobile-friendliness mandatory. The world's most popular search engine gave notice that as of April 21, a website's mobile friendliness was a ranking criteria – and that painful penalties awaited those websites lacking in this area.
So Apple is poised to significantly disrupt the online growth strategy paradigm followed by a vast majority of companies with an online presence, ranging from large global advertisers spending fortunes on marketing efforts, to smaller companies partaking in affiliate marketing programs, among other things, to grow online revenue.
Apple's new ad-blocking feature is described in the fine print of the iOS 9 developer documentation:
"The new Safari release brings Content Blocking Safari Extensions to iOS. Content Blocking gives your extensions a fast and efficient way to block cookies, images, resources, pop-ups, and other content."
When Apple's new iOS 9 mobile platform launches, consumers can visit the App store and download AdBlock, the ad-blocking browser extension, at no charge. It will enable them to block most mobile ads.
Smartphones have 80 percent penetration in the U.S. market, according to published reports. Mobile advertising was on track to hit $51 billion this year, rising to $105 billion by 2019, according to a Venture Beat report.
But those estimates likely don't account for the ad-blocking functionality that will soon be available for these new iPhones. The iPhone platform itself, as of the end of this past April, had 43.1 percent of the total U.S. smartphone market, ComScore reported.
The platform is second only to Google's Android, which held 52.2 percent share.
How Popular Will AdBlock Be?
Chances are, AdBlock will be wildly popular. Similar apps have proven to be quite popular on desktops.
There was a large increase in ad-blocking software usage in the past year, in fact. The activity has been limited mostly to desktop users, to this point.
One of the key issues this raises was noted by Nieman Labs, reporting that:
"If iOS users — the majority of mobile web users in the U.S. … — can suddenly block all your ads with a simple free download, where is the growth [of online business entities] going to come from?"
Whatever Apple's motive for doing this is, one thing is clear: the company's great rival Google makes more than 90 percent of its revenue from online advertising, a growing share of which stems from mobile. Considering how many people have an iPhone versus an Android, that could be a lot less ads being viewed when AdBlock is downloaded more.
Google reportedly earns half of all mobile ad revenue. So by default, anything that hurts the mobile ad market will impact Google.
What this means for you, the small business owner planning to capitalize on the growing popularity of mobile advertising, your slice of that pie is probably going to be a lot smaller than you thought, at least based on how things now stand.

Reks
by Luke Muyskens
Hailing from the often-underrepresented Boston area, Reks has a masterful flow reminiscent of hip hop's prime. He broke into the scene in 2001 with his album Along Came the Chosen, then took a seven-year break to start a family before his 2008 classic Grey Hairs, and with his latest album he has outdone himself again. Although he has been releasing quality hip hop for over a decade, he came into the spotlight this year with his newest album through Showoff Records, R.E.K.S., Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme . The album boasts all-star production from longtime collaborator Statik Selektah, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, The Alchemist, Nottz, Hi-Tek, Sha Money XL, and his Fizzy Womack aka Lil Fame of M.O.P, who was also featured rapping, along with Styles P, Freeway, and Termanology. After three classic albums, he's showing no sign of slowing down; we caught up with him to see what's next for Reks.
First off, introduce yourself, region, crew, etc.
My name is Reks, aka Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme, I'm from Lawrence, Massachusetts, born and raised, I stay in the Florida area now. I represent Showoff hip hop.
How did you first get into hip hop?
Well it started off in the streets of Lawrence, Massachusetts with my older cousins, they were onto the hip hop thing, they were heavy into breakdancing, and I followed them to a movement that was thriving in its essence. And I just wanted to be like my cousins, do what they were doing, be around where they were, so it was only natural I progressed into the hip hop thing.
Your music has a "golden age" vibe to it, who are some of you musical inspirations?
From KRS-One and Ice Cube, to Common Sense, Nas, Slick Rick, the list goes on and on. Anybody who from day one has made it their mission from day one to just make quality music.
How did you first hook up with Showoff and Statik Selektah and those guys?
Me and Statik have known each other for well over a decade. When we first started off, he was a DJ and he would DJ for me, and from that he obviously took a liking to making his own beats, and when I put my first album out, he gave me a beat, and we've been rocking with each other ever since.
Did starting a family influence your music at all?
Of course. Every life experience that I've gone through, being with my family, connections, dealing with hardships, family loss, whatever changes have come about in my life obviously had some kind of effect on what my musical output is gonna be. And definitely starting a family made me think more wisely about the music I choose to put out there, 'cause I want my legacy to be a little bit different than some other individuals who might not be so concerned.
Have you found it hard to balance rap and family life?
It's always gonna be a hard balance you know, I've gotten better at balancing it, but I don't think anybody's gonna be able to have a completely perfect union of the two. When I'm away on tour for extended periods of time, things like Skype and the way technology is, there's a way to reach out to your family when you're not physically there. So it's never gonna be the same as me being able to tuck my children into bed, reading 'em stories before they go to bed, play with them, or spend quality time with my wife, so it's not the same, it's difficult to balance, because they both require an extended amount of time and effort.
A lot of people call Grey Hairs a classic, was it a difficult album to follow up?
No I wouldn't say it was a difficult album to follow up, my objective is not to best or better any material that I put out, my objective is to just put out quality music. I don't go out there looking for a number one hit record, I don't go out there looking for collaborations that are gonna get me more notoriety, my objective is just to put out there material that I feel has a true representation of my life as I know it, and that will be able to connect with the fans and to people who have been through a lot of the things I've been through. So be it Grey Hairs, Along Came the Chosen, new R.E.K.S. album, anything that I put out material wise, I'm always attacking it with the same objective.
You've gotten a lot of recognition for your new album; do you feel like some of this recognition is overdue?
I feel like I've paid a lot of dues, however I also feel like I haven't worked as hard as some individuals who've been in the game longer than me, or who withstood a lot of hardships to be current and what have you. I don't blame other individuals, I don't blame a lack of responsible material on anyone else, all of it falls on me if my material doesn't get out to the people who it needs to be, I have to put more effort and more emphasis into my own material, no ones gonna work or put the effort behind the project more than yourself when it's your project.
Why do you think R.E.K.S. broke to a wider audience?
It was a combination of many things; obviously the lineup itself reads like a classic album, reads like a who's who of producers, some very well-respected emcees as well. Then top it off with the fact that our teams came together, with Showoff, Clockwork, having a publicist, Brick Records and everybody being on the same page in terms of putting the material out there, and refocusing the attention on the brand itself. We are a small machine but our machine works nonetheless because we are consistent in doing things at the same time via all these internet sites and blogs that are available to us. Everybody getting on Twitter at the same time, getting on Facebook at the same time, sharing and tweeting new material, and consistently making videos. My objective is to be seen by the general public because that's the only way to catch their attention. YouTube allows me to get views from fans who may not have viewed my material, and it's a free way for individuals to tap into my music. I feel we approached it a lot differently on this one.
At what point would you feel that your career is successful enough?
I feel successful, I feel like I've put into this game enough to be proud of. I don't feel like I'm done, I'm never gonna say this is my time to wrap it up or anything like that. When that time comes, God only knows. But I'm happy with where I am as far as the material I've put out there and if I were to call it quits and do something else, I could look back and be proud of the material I put out.
There were some legendary producers on the album, who were some of the best to work with?
Definitely Statik Selektah, that's my homie, we go back years. It was really wonderful to be able to get a beat from Fizzy Womack who doesn't get a lot of the recognition I feel he deserves, on top of being a fan of MOP as a group I'm a fan of his production and it was dope to get him on a record that's way different from your typical MOP record an get him to switch up and change gears for a little bit on that record, that was fun. All of the producers I feel were very instrumental, and very helpful in bringing out these real personal stories I wanted to share with the people. I don't put anybody above anyone else, I just feel everybody was a pleasure to work with and I thank 'em all for allowing me the time.
You approach some different subject matter on R.E.K.S., is there a new depth to this album?
Definitely, I feel like this was definitely a lot more personal, you can see what's happening in more of my own life. I tried to use Grey Hairs as a way to show how my life and hip hop coincided and all the changes to the new state of hip hop, and go forward with what that golden era of music meant to me. With this one I wanted to touch more upon my personal struggles and triumphs, about hip hop, life as a man and a father, as a son. So I totally think this one had more depth to it.
What are your thoughts on the state of hip hop in 2011?
I'm excited man; I think there are a lot of people tapping into their creativity. We finally got the opportunity to hear The Greatest Story Never Told, I'm a huge Saigon fan, I feel like people aren't recognizing that album for the classic that it is, it's an amazing album. I feel like Skyzoo's doing great things, Big KRIT's doing phenomenal things, I was real excited about the Raekwon album, so many artists out there to be happy about, you've got an influx of the new and the old putting out real quality hip hop, not to mention individuals like Eminem and Jay-Z taking time to find artists that are true lyricists, such as Slaughterhouse and J. Cole and Jay Electronica, so hats off to them for recognizing true talent and showing that we can reach back to where hip hop is supposed to be.
How would you say that you are different from other rappers out there today?
I don't know of other rapper's ins and outs of their persona and what have you, but I just approach music a little bit differently. In my eyes, in terms of my passion in the rap, I feel like the hunger in the voice is missing in a lot of artists. I feel like individuals are not so concerned with giving a true show, and having that showmanship when you're out on tour, and being able to connect with the fans personally. It's the greatest opportunity and the greatest time to be able to have that relationship with individuals who listen to your music on a regular basis. So I really focus on putting on a good show, and tapping into my fan base, the people that support me, and I definitely wanna always have that hunger and that drive for life you know, just making quality music. I feel like that's lacking in a lot of artists, I wouldn't say all.
Any other projects in the works or upcoming releases?
I'm working on a million records. First and foremost a trilogy coming out with Statik Selektah, the first was finished last week called Straight No Chaser, and we'll drop three EPs which will all culminate as sort of an album over a period of time. No dates set on the first release or the second or third to follow. Those projects we're actually working on now. I've done a lot of feature work on other individual's projects, which has been fun. My own projects, a project called Sleep When I'm Gone, with the homie Soul Theory who was on Grey Hairs, the "Money on the Ave" track, we have a full-length that's gonna be phenomenal. Working with Hazardous Sound from down here in Florida, another extremely talented producer who just dropped his album, >em>Hazmat Volume 2 a couple months ago. You know, just consistently staying in the studio as much as possible. Individuals can check me out on Twitter, I'm therealreks, or check me out on Facebook, my fan page, Reks Mdiesel, and be able to check out my material, things out there and things to come.
Any last thoughts or shout outs?
Just big respect for having me here to express my views and my thoughts, and respect to all the fans out there that support that real hip hop, go out there, prepare for Statik Selektah's Population Control, Termanology and Lil Fame's Physiology, and like I said, me and Statik got the Straight No Chaser coming soon, also 1982 is working on their new album, and we just continue to give you that quality music.

In addition to playing music on Apple Watch, you can also listen to custom stations in the Radio app and Audible Audiobooks on Apple Watch. But as Audible's audiobook app is not available for Apple Watch, so if you want to listen to Audible audiobooks on Apple Watch without iPhone, then you need to bypass DRM from Audible audiobook with TuneFab Apple Music Converter which is a professional Apple Music removal tool and audiobook converter.
Though you can access Apple Music tracks from your iPhone on your Apple watch, sometimes it's not convenient to carry your iPhone, especially when you do sports, so just try to add music to your Apple Watch by following the above guide. Once you sync music to your Apple Watch, then you can play it on your Apple Watch without iPhone.

SRK dazzles, but there's too much of everything in it
The film can do extraordinarily well among the vast Muslim diaspora. Comments | Rating:
UPDATED: March 19, 2010 21:13 IST
Director: Karan Johar
Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol
In khushi or gham, Karan Johar always wants to please. He stuffs his goodie bag with so many little bon bons that the viewer finds it difficult to look away. It's the same with My Name is Khan.
Not content with giving Shah Rukh Khan Asperger's syndrome, which allows him to jump outside his skin and perform out of the easy character we've usually seen him in, he also adds a cross-country journey across the vast expanse of America, from the 30,000-strong town of Banville in California to the 204-strong village of Wilhelmina in Georgia, a hurricane like Katrina where he inspires a community rebuilding effort, a meeting with the US president who is played by a Barack Obama lookalike as well as an interview with an Oprah Winfrey clone.
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in a still from My Name Is Khan
It's not a bad thing. It's full of stirring stuff, but by the end of it we are as exhausted as poor Khan, yes Khan from the epiglottis, as he keeps saying. There is a host of characters that Khan meets on his Forrest Gumpian journey in post 9/11 America. There's a lovely hairdresser called Mandira, a single mother played by a fiercely glowing Kajol; her son Sam who is her "aankh ka tara, budape ka sahara"; a Sikh journalist named Bobby Ahuja who takes up his cause, played by Parvin Dabbas; two student TV journalists who bring his case to public notice; Mama Jenny, a big black woman who adopts him when he's at his worst and loneliest; and an extremist Islamist who uses a mosque as a cover to recruit suicide bombers.
The movie chronicles his strange and mostly wonderful journey, taking him inside an American prison where his dignity and civil liberties are stripped from him; to the sidelines of several presidential motorcades as he tries to attract the president's attention to tell him he is not a terrorist; to a church where he stages a Broadway-like chorus singing We Shall Overcome in Hindi and English; and as a pop icon on several TV channels where he sparks off debate on Muslim identity. In all this he remains himself, somewhat quirky, somewhat funny, and always in character. Indeed Rizvan Khan is the best thing about My Name is Khan, sinking his teeth into a substantial role after a long time, playing it as Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder says most insensitively not as a "full retard" (his words, not mine, I hasten to add) but as a "part retard".
Khan's relationship with his new family, Mandira and Sam, is beautifully etched, proving that however far Johar may run from "loving your family" it will always end up chasing him. It's what he's best at, and if he can work out a way to finesse this, without overdosing on everything else, he will truly be a great director. That is his niche, his speciality. Khan's playful flirtation with Mandira, who sees him for what he is, a damaged soul but nevertheless chooses to love him, is lovely to watch. Kajol and Shah Rukh are clearly a couple at ease with their onscreen selves, as one of best film couples in Bollywood. She's naughty, talkative, and impulsive. His job is to react to her, which Shah Rukh has understood means to let her walk away with the best parts of every scene they have together. Their romance in various parts of San Francisco, culminating in her accepting his proposal atop a hill overlooking the city while watching a sunset (see what I mean, Johar can never do things by halves) lightens up the theatre.
Not so good is the handling of the complicated politics of post 9/11 global Muslim identity. The scene in the mosque where Shah Rukh ends up throwing stones at the extremist doctor because he is interpreting the scriptures wrong is deftly handled but not so well done is the nationwide debate his actions inspire. He just wants to meet the president because he has promised his wife he will tell him he is not a terrorist after their son is killed in a brutal attack by school bullies but naturally the wicked Americans cannot understand such a simple thing. So they detain Khan and ask him questions about Osama bin Laden which he naturally cannot answer. The trouble with this is that we've seen far too much of this in recent films, from New York to Kurbaan, and frankly I am getting a wee bit tired of hearing about the FBI in every film. It's nice that Bollywood has discovered a new monster-Dawood Ibrahim and company have been done to death-but hey, FBI and Homeland Security may not be quite it.
Shah Rukh in a shot from My Name Is Khan
For the most part though Johar keeps the tension running as well as the well-placed in-film endorsement for Reebok shoes that Khan wears on his journey (and the Samsonite backpack which his camera lovingly focuses on intermittently). The first scene of the film which catches Khan when he's strip searched at the airport on his way to Washington D.C. is grabs you right away before the back-and-forth begins, sometimes in Borivli's slums where Khan's mother, a wonderful Zarina Wahab teaches a young Tanay Chheda (probably the most accomplished child actor in India today) the lesson of good and bad and how nothing in that has to do with religion; and at other times in San Francisco, where he tries to adjust to life with his successful younger brother, played by a mellow Jimmy Shergill and his sister in law, an even mellower hijab-wearing Sonya Jehan, who conveninently teaches psychology in the local college and understands his condition for the first time in his life.
There are lots of not-so-subtle communal harmony messages along the way, showing a Mandira praying to her Hindi gods and Shah Rukh praying to his Muslim one. Namaz jagah aur logon dekh ke nahin padi jati, niyat se padi jati hai, says Khan in many of his Gumpian aphorisms to yet another couple he meets along the way, two Muslims who are scared to be what they are in contemporary America. Shah Rukh does moral science lessons well, as he does Khan's mannerisms, closing his ears when there's too much noise and jumping up and down excitably when he sees the colour yellow. He loses his footing when Johar makes him do the Broadway musical thing in the Wilhelmina church but is in fine form again when he talks of how "khuda ki rah mohabbat ki rah hoti hai" (yes, sounds a lot like what he's saying on TV in his real life persona and if there are any doubts about it, we also have a cameo by Barkha Dutt playing herself and talking on her nighttime bulletin about the Rizvan Khan phenomenon in America).
I can see the film doing extraordinarily well among the vast Muslim diaspora across the world. Funny how a boy raised in South Bombay in what I imagine must have been a pretty Punjabi household should be making a film which is aimed at making embattled Muslims feel better about themselves but it fits Shah Rukh's new image as a messiah of the anti Shiv Sena brigade. Never has real life played so perfectly to match reel life, whether it was Shah Rukh's two-hour long detention last year for interrogation or the Shiv Sena questioning his patriotism.
Is this a movie one should watch? Yes, I think so. Not because of its message, that anyone with a pure heart can achieve what he wants, even if it is to meet the President of America, but because of Shah Rukh. Whether he is giggling madly when he says something funny or whether he is spreading his message of pyaar aur insaniyat. Pity he's doing so much of it on TV as well in interviews. If he would only let his film talk. But I guess we have Uddhav Thackeray to thank for that.

Talking yourself up: Being bold in sharing your work (and self) with the world
*You can also listen to this post as a podcast.
I am launching my first sole-authored book online tomorrow. I am half excited and half terrified. What if people don't like it? (Read, what if they don't like me – my ideas, my arguments). What if they just don't come at all? I have been promoting it on Twitter and Facebook, I have been writing to journal editors, I have created a 'Featured Authors' profile on the publisher's website and even made a YouTube video about the book. I do want people to read it and get out of it something of what I tried to put into it for them. But all this publicity stuff and talking up the book and the contribution I think it could make is not something that comes easily. It does require a conscious boldness on my part and some stern self-talk; I suspect that I am not alone in this.
Many people struggle to talk up their achievements in public spaces. This is gendered, with women struggling more than men, on average, to 'blow their own trumpets'. Certainly, this is also affected by 'race' and position in the academy; spend any time on academic Twitter and you will see that early career and postdoc scholars and Black scholars and women don't feel quite as comfortable sharing their achievements as widely as men (especially men in positions of power/influence) do. There's a whole book or more about why this is so, but for me it goes back to being told when I was little and then at school and then at university, that sharing my achievements was 'bragging' and that this was not what polite women did. There was something a bit ugly and unbecoming about telling people about things you had done well, or that you had achieved something great: these 'gifts' should be received with modesty and humility, rather than 'boastful pride'. Don't take up too much space or be too loud or too full of yourself and people may let you stay. This has to do with belonging: if you are trying to get access to a space you have not historically 'belonged to', if being there is seen by those who have always belonged as some kind of transgression or aberration, it is even harder to take up that space, claim it, be in it as fully and comfortably as those who are already there.
This is, of course, a problem in higher education environments and spaces, and also wider social environments and spaces, because it creates limitations: limited diversity of voices, knowledge, ways of being in the world, limited representation of those who are women and/or Black and/or early career and/or disabled and/or LGBTQ+ and/or not what counts as the 'status quo' or a member of the dominant group in that education and/or social space. These limitations and silences protect, rather than challenge, unequal statuses quo that value some knowledges and voices and ways of being more than others. If we don't work actively and consciously to change that, these inequities and silences are likely to continue. One of the ways we can do this is by telling people about who we are and what we do and why it matters, especially if we are part of one or more of the groups that is not the dominant one. We can also follow, connect with and amplify the work and contributions and people who are reshaping, challenging and changing the dominant 'way things are and have always been' in our contexts. In academia, we can start changing the way we organise events and conferences, consciously choosing speakers and panelists who represent a greater diversity of listeners and knowers in that context. We can seek out, read and cite the work of women scholars, Black scholars, scholars from the Global South, scholars who help us widen our understandings of the world and challenge our taken-for-granted assumptions and ways of being or knowing.
This work requires emotional labour and emotion work though, so it is not easy. Emotional labour, in a sound bite, is explained by Arlie Russell-Hochschild as the work we do with and for others – putting on a brave face when we don't feel brave, arranging ourselves to take up less space when we sense that we need to be smaller, being polite in the face of rudeness so as to keep the peace or not be seen as 'difficult'. Emotion work is the work that we do with ourselves, self-talk about our work or our relationships or ourselves – positive and negative and everything in between. These two forms of labour are connected because what we tell ourselves (you can't brag too much about this book, just be modest, you're being too 'big' and 'loud' about this) will affect how we relate to others (I wrote this book but you don't have to read it, it's not that great, just leave it, forget I said anything, I'll be quiet now). One of things I have been working on is changing my self-talk: telling people that I wrote something or did something or achieved something that I am proud of, that represents hard work and effort, that I believe in is not 'being too big for my boots' or any such nonsense. Telling myself that I can just be me and that is more than enough and I don't need to bend and break myself to fit other people's shapes and ideas of who I should be. I am allowed to be (proud of) myself; I am allowed to share that and revel in this achievement for a while.

But, I am constantly mindful, in becoming more conscious of these shifts in both my own inward-facing emotion work and my outward facing emotional labour, that I need to be part of creating and widening spaces for others who struggle as much as or more than I do to belong and to shift the status quo because of contemporary and/or historical inequalities and discriminations. I need to make sure that my own colleagues and students don't have to do unfair and unnecessary emotional labour and emotion work in relation to me and my reactions to their work. I need to be mindful of creating more consciously equitable supervision spaces for and with my students and collaborative spaces for and with my colleagues. It is important to amplify the work and the voices of other women, Black colleagues, Queer colleagues and more, but it is not enough to do that as performance of creating more equitable environments in which we can all work and live. We have to move further to actually change the spaces in which we live and work so that, down time, we don't have to work as consciously to amplify these voices and the knowledges and ways of knowing they represent and share. Many different people, knowledges and voices will belong and be visible and valued. I am starting to really think about this in relation to new research I am trying to embark on.
For the time being, I am going to keep working on me: on becoming more conscious of the spaces I create for myself and also for students, peers, colleagues I work with to take up more space, to be loud and proud about our work and ourselves and our contributions; on actively seeking out and sharing the work of those who challenge me and encourage or exhort me to critique myself and the world around me; on learning as I go and being open to that, even as it poses emotional challenges and new labours and work.

Crunchy Chana Masala is a perfect snack when you have friends coming over for tea or coffee. Tea + this super addictive snack Crunchy Chana Masala equals endless talks with your friends. Seems like a match made in heaven. BEST THING EVER.
How does Crunchy Chana Masala Taste?
This fried chana is very tasty, perfectly crunchy, and has just the right amount of spices.
It was so not typical to make this at home when I was a child. It's because it was a little time consuming and was easily accessible at the nearby grocery stores. So there was no need to make it at home. But now tables have turned, we don't easily get them often at Indian/Asian groceries in the Nordics.
So the best way to satisfy those craving is to make them yourself. Making them even for the first time is not difficult at all.
How to make Crispy Crunchy Crispy Chickpeas? How do you make dry Chana snacks?
In a large bowl, place the dried chickpeas (Kabuli chana).
Rinse it well and add enough water to soak the chickpeas. Water should be about 3-5 inches above the chickpeas.
Add about ¼ tsp of baking soda and give it a nice stir.
Soak it for 6-8 hours, or overnight. Chickpeas will absorb the water and would become double in size after soaking.
Drain well and rinse again.
Add soaked chana to a pan along with 1 cup of water and some salt. Cover and let it cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.
Chana should be tender but not too soft.
Turn off the heat, and remove excess water.
Arrange cooked chickpeas in a single layer on a muslin cloth or on a kitchen towel.
Let it dry in the shade for 2-3 hours. There shouldn't be any moisture when you fry chickpeas, so try to get them as dry as possible. Otherwise, you'll get flare-ups when you add chickpeas to the heated oil.
Now heat your vegetable/frying oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chickpeas and let them fry for 7-8 minutes.
Once they float on the surface turn the heat to medium-low and fry them until they go golden brown.
Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to remove the excess oil.
Add all the spices when they are slightly warm, and mix well.
They are a lot economical than the store-bought packets.
You can customize the flavorings according to your taste buds.
You can healthify them by oven-roasting. This way you'll save a lot of calories if you are calorie conscious.
They stay crispy and super crunchy at room temperature in an airtight container for about 2 months. So make them in a large batch with the same amount of effort, and enjoy it for months.
Can I roast Crunchy Crispy Chickpeas in the oven?
The traditional way of making this crispy chana masala is to deep-fry them. However, if you want to give this snack a more healthy twist then you can simply opt for the baked version. You won't be able to tell any major differences in terms of texture. They are still as crunchy, crispy, and tasty as the fried version.
I have shared the baked version of this recipe in the recipe box below.
Can you air Fry chickpeas?
Yes, air frying chickpeas is possible. Follow the same recipe and instead of deep frying, air-fry them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What are the other Indian Style Chickpea dishes?
In Indian cuisine, Kabuli Chana is used for making many mouth-watering dishes such as chana masala curry, chana salad, chana namkeen snack, and many more. There are many ways to make this chickpea curry and every recipe seems to be better than the last one.
What can I do with chickpeas?
You can make many wonderful dishes using chickpeas such as Amritsari Chole, Falafel, Chickpea Salad, chickpea patties, hummus and many more.
Can I use canned chickpeas for making Crunchy Chana Masala?
Yes, surely you can. For making chana masala with canned chickpeas you don't have to soak them overnight. Just add some baking soda while cooking chickpeas. Rest of the recipe would remain the same.
Should I cook canned chickpeas?
If you are roasting chickpeas then it is not necessary to cook them. But if you are cooking them in curry or frying them, then it is a good idea to cook them first.
What are the other names of Crunchy Chana Masala?
How do you keep roasted chickpeas crunchy?
If you want to keep roasted chickpeas crunchy then make sure that you pat your chickpeas very dry. Every single drip of water should be off of your chickpeas. If there is some remaining moisture it will stop them from getting crunchy during the roasting process. Pat them dry with several paper towels, or kitchen towel. Let them dry uncovered for at least 1 hour before roasting them.
How do you season roasted chickpeas?
For seasoning, you can simply add some salt (or black salt), and black pepper. But if you love spicy flavors then make a spice mix of salt, some chaat masala, chili powder, dried mint powder, and dried mango powder.
How long do roasted chickpeas last?
Cool roasted chickpeas completely and store them in an airtight jar for up to a week. If they lose their crunch, pop them for 5 minutes at 200°C/400°F preheated oven.

Abstract: Fern fronds (about 500gm) of Cheilanthes dalhousiae Hook. Vouch. Sp. No. 21 was collected from Pindari glacier routes (2200-2800m above sea level) of Almora district of Uttarakhand state. It was extracted with acetone-water (1:1, V/V) and extract was concentrated under reduced pressure until H2O layer (up to 50ml) remained. The H2O layer was partitioned with CH2Cl2, EtOAc and BuOH Successively. The CH2Cl2 fraction gave antibacterial tests against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli by the standard method of disc-diffusion using DMSO-d6 solution of CH2Cl2 residue impregnated on Whatman No. 3, paper disc (6 nm) and base plates containing 10ml MH agar. Antibacterial activity was expressed as the ratio of the inhibition zone produced by CH2Cl2 extract and the inhibition zone caused by the reference, neomycin (2ìg). No antibacterial activity was observed in ethyl-acetate and n-butanol fractions. EtOAc fraction was evaporated to dryness and residue obtained was dissolved in MeOH. The MeOH soluble of EtOAc fraction was fractionated on Whatman No. 3 chromatographic papers using BAW (n- BuOHAcOH- H2O, 4:1:5, V/V, upper layer) as an eluent. Two blue UV fluorescent flavone-5-O-glycosides: Quercetin- 3-methyl ether-5-O-glycoside and Kaempferol-5-O-(6"-O-malonyl)-glycoside were isolated by RPPC from EtOAc fraction of acetone-H2O (1:1) extract of fern fronds of Cheilanthes dalhousiae. The structural elucidation of the compounds was carried out by UV, 1HNMR and MS spectral studies. [Nature and Science 2010;8(5):139- 143]. (ISSN: 1545-0740).
