It was a Gillette budget this year: Brendan Howlin's presentation on Monday shaved you close; then on Tuesday Michael Noonan shaved you closer still.
Racing got the double up. A 1.7% reduction in Government funding on Monday followed by a(nother) commitment on Tuesday that the new betting tax legislation would be introduced early in 2012, with an estimated extra revenue from betting tax of €12 million.
Well, it was a place double at worst. It is difficult to think that another reduction in Government contribution to racing – the fifth in four years – is a winner, but in the current climate, with hatchets and machetes the order of the day (unless you are a government advisor, obviously), a 1.7% reduction is a serious result.
The new betting legislation is not quite so clear-cut. It's a little like backing a horse that has run on well up the hill to finish fourth in a handicap, but you're not sure that one horse wasn't withdrawn before the off, you're not certain if there were 15 or 16 runners in the race. €12 million extra they reckon the new legislation will capture, and that is if all off-shore operators pay it (the general feeling among those who have seen the legislation seems to be that they will). However, it may be that there will be no link between betting tax revenue and government contribution to racing, bar a notional one.
The one thing that is clear from this budget is that the re-instatement of racing into the remit of the Minister for Agriculture (and Food and the Marine as well, as if he wasn't busy enough) is a good thing. If it had remained under the care of the Minister for Sport (with Transport and Tourism thrown in for good measure), nothing against Leo Varadkar or anything, but the argument for funding would have been a sports argument. Under the Agriculture banner, the argument is an industry argument, from an industry that employs around 15,000 people, the majority in rural Ireland, and that is a solid argument.
It was disappointing on the face of it that Bostons Angel couldn't beat Golan Way and Benbane Head in the Future Stars Chase at Sandown last Friday, horses that were officially rated 6lb and 16lb inferior respectively, but I wouldn't go losing faith in Jessica Harrington's horse yet.
There were two main mitigating circumstances. Firstly and most importantly, three miles and half a furlong on goodish ground around a flat park course is not what Bostons Angel is all about. The tougher things are, the better Bostons likes it, nothing flashy, just tough as teak and always giving. Soft ground at Leopardstown, or up and down hills at Cheltenham, battling it out, and he is a different proposition.
Secondly, he was effectively making his seasonal debut in the race, having unseated his rider at the fifth last in the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal. As a result, it all happened a little quickly for him. He is not generally a fast jumper anyway, but he was ponderous over the first couple of fences behind the fast pace that Golan Way set, and it just took him longer than ideal to get into a rhythm.
Also, Golan Way is not without talent, and he had his optimum conditions, good ground, flat track, small field, easy lead. Of course, Bostons Angel is going to have to step up an awful lot on this if he is to develop into a serious Gold Cup contender, but, with talk from his trainer about fitting some headgear, talk that makes a lot of sense, that is not beyond the bounds of possibility.
Sous Les Cieux could be very good indeed. He looked good in winning the Royal Bond Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday in the fastest time of the day, a triple-Grade-1 day. He beat a Group 3 winner on the flat, who is also a potentially high class hurdler, and the pair of them were clear. He was in front from a long way out, he was probably competing over a trip that was some way shy of his optimum, and Willie Mullins says that he probably doesn't have a better novice hurdler. Rich Ricci's horse has both the two-mile and two-and-a-half-mile options at Cheltenham at present but, as things stand, it would be mildly surprising if he didn't go for the longer race, and, if he did, it wouldn't be surprising to see him going off at about ¼ of his current price of 12/1.
If you were to have ear-marked one race for Rubi Light at the start of the season, it would have been tomorrow's John Durkan Chase at Punchestown. It may be a blessing in disguise that Robbie Hennessy's gelding missed the JNwine.com Champion Chase with a viral infection, and the trainer exercised admirable restraint to resist the lure of the Betfair Chase at Haydock when he felt his horse was just a smidgen short of spot on. He is only six, he is probably still progressing, and two and a half-miles on heavy ground at Punchestown, a track at which he is one for one over fences, looks just about perfect.
While there is little doubt that Voler La Vedette would have won the Hatton's Grace Hurdle even with an extra 2lb on her back, the fact that mares now get a 7lb allowance instead of a 5lb allowance in Ireland as well as in the UK could help her to be very competitive against the top class geldings this season. The Colm Murphy-trained mare, now a Grade 1 winner, could be an improved performer this season anyway – she certainly seems to be settling better, and that could be the key. Perhaps it is the tongue-tie, or perhaps it was her encounter with Presenting which has had a positive impact.

More than 50 human rights, cultural and film organizations condemn in an open letter the prosecution of Turkish documentary filmmakers Çayan Demirel and Ertuğrul Mavioğlu and ask for the charges against them to be dropped immediately.
As the peace talks unraveled, Bakur was scheduled to premiere at the 34th Istanbul Film Festival on May 5, 2015, but on that day, the İstanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) canceled the screening. The film was subsequently shown in numerous other international and national festivals, but two years later, on December 20, 2017, the filmmakers were accused of disseminating terrorist propaganda and giving "legitimacy to the terrorist organization PKK/KCK's methods of using force, violence or threats." If found guilty, this would be the first time that filmmakers in Turkey would face a prison sentence due to a film, a dangerous precedent for the status of freedom of expression. However, as an attack on peaceful exercise of the right to free expression in Turkey, Bakur is not an isolated case. Numerous journalists, scholars, writers, and artists are currently facing similar criminal prosecutions.
Help us raise awareness about this case and tweet your support for the directors of Bakur as they prepare to defend artistic freedom in Turkey. Use the button below or create your own tweet including hashtags #DefendBakur #SinemaYargılanamaz #KeepFilmsOutOfCourt and tagging @AtRiskArtists.

BABRI PROFILES
Ram: The gentle, tragic prince who became the face of aggressive Hindu nationalism
Born again.
Image: AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool
Manavi Kapur
Ram, the Hindu god, was born in Ayodhya. Ever since, his has been a tale of loss.
Ayodhya is where he was born to King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya. This is where he brought his devoted wife, Sita, from the kingdom of Mithila. This is where he returned after a 14-year exile. And this is the kingdom his sons Luv and Kush eventually inherited.
Or so the story goes, according to the Ramayan, the Hindu epic narrating Ram's tragic story. All of these, some of these, or none of these stories could be true. But that is immaterial to most Hindus. The eldest prince of Ayodhya, considered an avatar of lord Vishnu, is beloved for reasons beyond material facts and perhaps even beyond his nobility.
So much so that today he has turned into a symbol of the resurgent Hindu identity, progressively shedding his gentle image to fuel a more muscular Indian nationalism.
But first the epic.
Hours before he is anointed king of Ayodhya by his father, a cruel turn of fate dispossess Ram of his kingdom. In exile for 14 years, accompanied by his wife and brother Lakshman, Ram faces off with the rakshasa king Ravan after the latter abducts Sita.
Ram soon vanquishes Ravan and returns to retake his kingdom. However, he is forced to abandon Sita again after aspersions are cast over her fidelity. Torn between being a dutiful king and a dutiful husband, he chooses his larger role. In exile again, Sita bears twins. Years later, Ram and Sita are reunited, but only to be subjected to taunts again. This time, Sita chooses to abandon Ram and return to her mother, earth.
Once again, Ram loses.
This tragic tale is made all the more poignant by the many highs and lows in the narrative and the utter helplessness of the protagonists in the face of destiny's vicissitudes. For these reasons, the Ramayan evokes a deep mix of sympathy, reverence, and a protective instinct towards Ram.
No wonder the prince of Ayodhya has seeped so deep into the Indian social texture and consciousness, irrespective of class, race, or religion—among the many versions of the Ramayan is a Muslim one, too.
And no wonder then that political Hinduism found a ready icon in Ram, and a rallying point in his birthplace.
A political icon
It was in the 20th century that Ram fully became a political figurehead for the Hindus.
"For most of the pre-independence era, the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya simply did not exist for the majority of Indians," wrote SP Udayakumar, activist and writer, in "Historicizing Myth and Mythologizing History" for the Social Scientist. "The mosque emerged as the most bitterly contested terrain ever since the partition of the country primarily because the issue was built up carefully by the Hindutva forces with an eye on appropriating it for contemporary politics," he wrote.
Even as the Ramjanmabhoomi movement was gaining momentum, a televised version of the Ramayan became a family staple in Indian homes in the late 1980s. Ram virtually brought together families in religious fervour.
The values that he espoused—gentleness, righteousness, selflessness, dutifulness, and valiance—were what parents sought in their sons and wives sought in their husbands.
However, political Hinduism sought more.
Ram versus Babur
The need for a villain is an inescapable part of political battles.
And to place a villain opposite such a noble character as Ram was to render that villain simply irredeemable and all the more menacing.
Who better then, than the man whose name "tarnished" the birthplace of Ram? Enter Babur.
The Babri mosque, allegedly built on the ruins of a temple that marked Ram's birth became the lightning rod for Hindu nationalist anger. Ram's honour and pride needed to be restored by "rebuilding" the temple. And the "evil" Islamic Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in India, had to be defeated—even if posthumously.
It is thus that through the seven-decade long the Ayodhya-Babri mosque court case, Ram became the figurehead of India's primary religious fissure.
As Udayakumar wrote, "The controversy is more mythological than historical, and hence it is a matter more of faith than fact. Since the issue stands on popular culture and not on recorded history, it becomes even more prone to manipulation and politicisation."
Ram may now regain his mythical birthplace. But after all the violence and social disruption it has created in India till now, it is difficult to imagine how he will win. Even this time.

The Brother from Another Planet (1984, John Sayles)
Despite being about an alien who crash lands on Earth and finds himself stranded in New York City, The Brother from Another Planet takes its time getting to being a fish out of water story. Even when it does, it's more like a fish being carefully transported in a cup of water to maybe some more water story. Writer-director-editor Sayles and star Joe Morton create this perfect point of entry–the alien (Morton) who crash lands and discovers New York–and then they entirely ignore that possiblity. Morton's alien can't speak. The viewer has his backstory, but no understanding.
So when Morton's moving into a location, even though the viewer is meeting new characters simultaneous to Morton, it's flipped because the humans are trying to figure him out just like the viewer. Sayles balances it perfectly. Morton's calm, silent, which gives Sayles room to fill the soundtrack with conversation and sound and music. As the viewer finds their footing in how Sayles is telling this story, the style changes as the story develops. Brother has an incredibly peculiar structure.
Morton's in New York, looks human besides his feet, and has magic fixing things (technical and biological) powers. He's a Black man and he's in Harlem. He goes to a bar, meets its regulars, and Sayles sets up almost half the movie. Brother's present action is short–seems like around a week–and Sayles doesn't pace it evenly. All the setup is also important because the characters all recur. Because in the middle of the first half, where Morton's a fish out of water but not having that experience (he's being treated as a human in need, not a marooned space alien), Sayles reveals Morton's on the run.
He's on the run from Sayles. And–wait for it–David Strathairn. They're credited simply "Men in Black." And they're aliens too. Only they can talk and screech like angry cats when they get excited. And they run like morons. They're hilarious. Because Brother's a comedy. It's occasionally serious, it's occasionally scary, but it's a comedy.
Except when it's not. Because in the second half, it becomes this gentle romance and also this gritty crime procedural. Only, in the case of the latter, it's out of nowhere because the viewer isn't privy to Morton's thoughts. It's all guesses. Sayles doesn't fetishize the mystery either. It's just part of Morton's character; despite being the lead, the film isn't from his perspective. He's always the lead, but only sometimes the protagonist.
Morton's phenomenal. He's got to let the audience in, but never the cast. He actually doesn't get much to do at the beginning, once opening set piece is done. He gets more to do in the second half and it's an abrupt, graceful transition. Sayles's plotting of the film is exquisite. He's got this big cast and everyone gets a lot to do. They don't get it all at once, they're never fighting for room, they just–eventually–all get a lot to do. It does mean sometimes a great supporting performance doesn't get much more material, but it also means sometimes the great performance comes later in the role. It's uneven, but graceful. Morton, Sayles, composers Martin Brody and Mason Daring, they all keep the moments consistent, even if there's a big style change.
Sayles indulges without ever losing track of the story or Morton. His editing is great. The rhythm he creates, once Morton steps into the bar, has so much depth, it fits the supporting cast. And the supporting cast is big and excellent.
The bar guys are Daryl Edwards, Steve James, Leonard Jackson, and Bill Cobbs. They're great. Tom Wright and Maggie Renzi are social workers. They're great. Wright is playing the hero of a stranded space alien story, but doesn't know it and Sayles isn't interested in doing that story. Wright's just the more traditional protagonist.
Caroline Aaron, Rosetta LeNoire; great. Jaime Tirelli… awesome. Fisher Stevens, awesome. Then there's Dee Dee Bridgewater who sets off a completely different rhythm and type of storytelling. It's like the first act of Bridgewater's movie got dropped into the second act of Brother. But it works because Sayles has established the irregular pace.
Bridgewater's great. Of course she's great.
Good photography from Ernest R. Dickerson. Sayles's composition is pragmatic and tied into Morton's narrative distance and the script. Dickerson help makes it seem ambitious.
It's great. The Brother from Another Planet is another one of those great movies where I just say "great" a lot because I think the repetition, despite employing the same adjective over and over, is also accurate. It's great. Things are great about it. It's a masterful delight.
Written, directed, and edited by John Sayles; director of photography, Ernest R. Dickerson; music by Martin Brody and Mason Daring; production designer, Nora Chavooshian; produced by Peggy Rajski and Maggie Renzi; released by Cinecom Pictures.

A surfer mauled by a shark Monday off southwest Australia managed to swim to shore despite serious injuries to both of his legs, an official and a witness said.
The 30-year old man was surfing at Gracetown around 8 am when he was attacked, St John Ambulance spokesman Dennis Bertoldo said.
He was treated on the beach by paramedics before he was flown by helicopter 250 kilometres (160 miles) to a hospital in the city of Perth, Bertoldo said.
The hospital described the victim's condition as stable, reports the AP.
The attack prompted the World Surf League to postpone the nearby Margaret River Pro international surfing contest.
Surf photographer Peter Jovic watched the attack from the beach and likened it to the live broadcast of a shark attack in South Africa in 2015.
Former champion surfer Mick Fanning escaped unscathed when a great white attacked his board as he waited to catch a wave.

Q: is meta-analysis of combined raw/fully disaggregated data appropriate? I have conducted several experiments that examine Reaction Time as the DV. Because I conducted them, I have the raw data for each.
It makes sense to me that combining all the data (at the single-trial level) provides more information and thus a more powerful meta-analysis, so long as I specify participant as a grouping factor that is nested inside the grouping factor of experiment.
If I were doing this using lmer as a  basic multi-level model of nested random effects, I understand I would do something like this:
Meta_fit = lmer(data, RT~ cond1 + cond2 + (1|experiment/participant)
Looking at the literature, however,  I cannot find any examples or discussions of including completely disaggregated data in a meta-analysis. I do see a lot of suggestions to use individual participant data meta-analyses instead of study-aggregated data, but even IPD meta-analysis still involves aggregating data at the participant level. I want to include every trial for each participant.
It seems odd to me that including every trial is not a recommendation when possible? Is there a reason not to include every trial?
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated

Kirshnik Khari Ball Affairs
Affair with Lakey Darshay
Kirshnik Khari Ball is currently in a relationship with his longtime girlfriend Lakey Darshay. Their relationship came to the public in 2014.


The Wild didn't lay an egg against Chicago on Monday. Chicago is a good team that has successfully stayed in the race long enough to recover from their Championship run last spring, and is now playing well. They showed how good they are against Minnesota on Monday. Wasn't the best Wild game ever, but I felt like more credit was due to Chicago than finger pointing at the Wild.
To me, if the team was so thin that a couple injuries (granted including one to their best overall player) were going to sink them anyway, then that's all the justification that Fletcher needed for not mortgaging the future on Monday.
So now it's back to basics: get the effort back up, get back to the tenets of the system, get the passion flowing again.
Because the other teams the Wild is fighting with in the West aren't exactly lying down and dying.

The Taft-Lakeland 230-kV transmission line construction was originally completed in 1981. The line upgrades described in this article were completed by 2013.

Complexity of Powering Central Florida's Future
It seemed easy and straightforward: Orlando Utilities Commission needed to upgrade its Taft-Lakeland transmission line.
Charles H. Easterling, Orlando Utilities Commission, and Hrishikesh P. Moghe, Black & Veatch | Jun 20, 2016
It is not uncommon for a power line upgrade project to require innovative engineering. It also is not unusual for such a project to involve complex permitting and community relations issues. But throw in a large amount of civil and environmental engineering, permitting and construction work along with the management of numerous subcontractors over a six-year construction schedule — all while working with a live line — and one can begin to understand the degree of difficulty the Orlando Utilities Commission was facing when it engaged Black & Veatch to engineer and manage the upgrade of its 46-mile (74-km) Taft-Lakeland transmission line.
The original 230-kV Taft-Lakeland transmission line began operating in 1981. At the time, it carried the Orlando Utilities Commission's share of Lakeland McIntosh Unit 3's output (134 MW) to the utility's Taft substation south of Orlando, Florida, U.S. Of course, three decades ago it was impossible to predict how Walt Disney World and the overall expansion of the tourism industry would kick-start population growth in Central Florida; today, it is plainly obvious. The population of Greater Orlando has nearly tripled to approximately 2.1 million since 1981, while the Lakeland area population has almost doubled to approximately 623,000 during the same period.
With population growth creating an ever-greater demand for power, the Taft-Lakeland line became a key component of the Central Florida transmission grid: Tampa Electric purchased a portion of the line and added the Lake Agnes and Osceola substations to deliver power to Walt Disney World. In addition, the Kissimmee Utility Authority used the Taft-Lakeland line to integrate its Cane Island plant into the Central Florida grid.
By the early 2000s, with the line experiencing overloads, it became abundantly clear upgrades would be needed to meet Florida Reliability Coordinating Council and North American Electric Reliability Corporation standards. In 2006, the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council, Florida Central Coordinated Study and Florida Public Service Commission worked with the Orlando Utilities Commission to upgrade the entire Taft-Lakeland line to ensure a safe and reliable source of power for Central Florida.
Facing Complex Challenges
In addition to being vital to the economy of Central Florida, the Taft-Lakeland line passes through one of the most ecologically sensitive areas in the state. This region includes pastureland, citrus groves and sensitive swampland, most of which is within the 50,000-acre (20,234-hectare) Green Swamp Wildlife Management Area that the state of Florida has designated as an area of critical concern.
All of these factors raised the stakes for the Orlando Utilities Commission. The utility knew the project would challenge its entire organization and it could not miss a step. Clearly, success would rely on building a solid team that possessed all the right skill sets for the job. They would have to foster a climate in which all parties communicated with each other easily and frequently to anticipate problems. They would have to pay attention to every minute detail, and they would have to be agile enough to react immediately to every new challenge that came along. No shortcuts. No corners cut.
To oversee this daunting effort, the Orlando Utilities Commission turned to Black & Veatch, with which it had a long-standing working relationship. Because of that association, Black & Veatch was intimately familiar with Orlando Utilities Commission's technical standards and internal processes, which put the firm in a position to both help develop the project team and aid the team in making critical decisions as situations arose.
The final Orlando Utilities Commission project team included Black & Veatch as the overall project manager, one law firm, three construction contractors and four technical consultants. The team did not know it at the time, but this was just the beginning. As the project unfolded, there would be additional engineering and environmental complexities — and many new players. In fact, over the life of the project, the team would interact with five federal and state agencies, four local government bodies and each other, of course.
The project team's capacity to react to sudden challenges was tested right out of the chute when it had to accommodate the expansion and widening of Interstate 4, which parallels the line for most of its length. In fact, the new I-4 corridor had expanded into the Orlando Utilities Commission's right-of-way, requiring the team to modify the alignment of the line and acquire additional real estate just as work was about to start.
A new structure access pad was installed to accommodate live-line maintenance.
Planning a Six-Year Project
Given the layout of the line and availability of outages required for construction, the team divided the project into four distinct phases with a six-year construction schedule. Each line segment was then treated as a separate effort under the umbrella of the needs — both technical and permitting — of the entire line. As such, the project involved several tasks:
•Reconductoring the line to carry 2000 A continuous and 2400 A emergency (summer rating).
•Adding access roads and structuring working pads sufficiently to allow the equipment necessary for live-line maintenance along this critical corridor.
•Performing environmental work in concert with recognized standards and good stewardship.
•Meeting the upgrade construction schedule for each line segment: Lake Agnes to Osceola in 2007-2008, Taft to Cane Island Tap in 2008-2009, Cane Island Tap to Osceola in 2009-2010 and Lake Agnes to McIntosh Unit 3 in 2012-2013 (the delay of the final segment was intentional and in keeping with the overall project plan).
The line during the reconductoring phase of construction. Note that the original H-frame line configuration was modified substantially for the rebuild.
Maneuvering the Regulatory Thicket
Because the transmission line was originally certified by the state of Florida under the Power Plant Siting Act, all line modifications and construction impacts had to be submitted for approval to numerous agencies within the state as well as to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This meant there were lengthy, numerous and often unexpected permit applications.
From the outset, the project team — advised by environmental consultant Golder Associates — was in constant communication with a wide range of federal, state and local regulatory bodies: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Hilochee Wildlife Management Area, Polk County, Orange County, Osceola County and Reedy Creek Improvement District, a governmental body created in 1967 to oversee development by the Disney companies.
Bracing for Change-Out
With the team unaware of the environmental complications that lay ahead, they focused on selecting a conductor that would meet the new load requirements and reviewing all 279 structures along the line to determine which would have to be redesigned or rebuilt to handle the new conductor. After conducting light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and ground surveys, the team selected a 1272-kcmil aluminum conductor, steel-supported/trapezoidal-shaped wire (ACSS/TW) conductor for the upgrade.
Installing the new conductor would nearly double the capacity of the original 954-kcmil aluminum conductor, steel-reinforced/aluminum-clad wire (ACSR/AW) conductor from 1050 A to 2000 A continuous; provide a higher maximum operating temperature of 250°C (482°F) compared with 100°C (212°F) previously; sag less than ACSR under maximum loading conditions; and offer excellent self-damping characteristics. Although ACSS/TW conductor was heavier than the original conductor, it was only slightly larger, so the team believed most of the existing structures could be reframed and salvaged, benefiting both the project's costs and schedule.
However, engineers soon discovered crossarm members had deteriorated on a number of the existing wood H-frame structures and would have to be replaced. This led to the installation of heavier knee braces, conversion of the two outside phases to braced posts as well as the conversion of the inside phase to a V-string configuration.
Raising Structures
In 51 cases, engineers determined simply reconfiguring the structures would not be enough. When the line was operated at 250°C, line sag would breach National Electrical Safety Code ground clearance limits. Raising those structures to handle the sag was the best option and engineers decided to employ PhaseRaisers to accomplish it. With PhaseRaisers, the single- or double-pole structure is first externally braced near the base and then the uprights are cut and jacked to the desired new height.
Several lattice structures required reinforcement of the base sections to carry the additional loads. This was accomplished either by change-out of existing members for larger ones or adding additional lattice members.
Fortunately, most of the existing foundations proved adequate for the upgraded line, even where structures were raised or reframed. In a few cases, where engineers deemed the foundation capacity insufficient, they replaced both the structure and the foundation. For example, where wood three-pole deadends were replaced with steel poles, engineers chose drilled-pier foundations with anchor bolts for the base plates.
Overall, engineers replaced 35 existing wood structures with new steel structures and raised eight existing lattice towers to meet National Electrical Safety Code clearance limits. One further complication was the existing towers were double circuit, which required one of the circuits to be removed, placed on temporary poles and re-energized prior to taking an outage on the primary circuit. The primary circuit was floated while the rework on the tower was completed.
Several structures had to be raised to accommodate the sag of the new higher-capacity conductor and reinforced to accommodate higher structural loading. The photos on the left show the installation of leg extensions and reinforcements on a structure. The photo above shows the finished product. There were locations where lattice steel structures were reinforced and raised for the same purposes.
Simply Managing Complexity
As anyone familiar with transmission line work knows, this entire process required extraordinary planning, design and construction sequencing. That it went off flawlessly was a result of extraordinary teamwork and the ability to keep it simple. That is, the OUC team had to manage complexity without making things more complicated. Of course, that does not mean it was easy. It took a great team continually communicating and collaborating with each other and with outside parties — and a lot of hard work — to make it happen.
Charles H. Easterling is manager of transmission construction and system maintenance at Orlando Utilities Commission, where he has worked for 25 years. Easterling earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1991 and has been a registered professional engineer since 1999.

New guide helps parents stay up to date on drug abuse
Apr 30, 2017, 5:00 am SGT
http://str.sg/42gP
Online booklet contains info on trends, risks and tips on how to talk to kids about drugs
Tan Tam Mei
tammei@sph.com.sg
"Ice" in the drugs sense is not as innocent as the ice used to cool beverages.
When Madam Phoebe Lau, 39, found herself having to explain the street name for methamphetamine, also known as "Ice", to her children, aged 14 and 11, it dawned upon her that she did not know much about it.
For parents like Madam Lau, Growing Up Drug-Free, the small handbook launched by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) last Thursday will come in handy to equip them with preventive drug knowledge and tips when similar questions arise.
The booklet, which is available online, aims to encourage parents to broach the subject of drug abuse with their children, and contains information about drug risks, updates about drug trends and tips to help children say "no" to drugs.
Madam Lau, who works in the social service sector, said she has spoken to her children about drugs only on five occasions.
She feels the handbook will help her understand more about the drug situation and stay up to date on the ever-evolving substances that are popping up in the market.
"Some of the names (of drugs) sound cool and are so normalised, it's a challenge to keep up so that we are ready to talk to our children when the opportunity arises," she said.
A survey by the National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) showed that nine in 10 teenagers who have had conversations with their parents about drugs said it helped them stay clean.
However, only one in two teens has had such talks.
Mother of two Vanishree Muniswamy Raju, 44, said that the guide would help her broach the subject in an informed and factual manner.
"Instead of just telling my daughters that drugs are bad, I now know the specific effects of certain kinds of drugs," said the housewife.
Mr Ong Kek Siong, 53, a retiree with three sons, aged 17 to 24, said it was useful for parents to be well informed about the dangers of drugs so that they can provide answers when their children pose questions on the topic.
"If you have the answer, you can satisfy their curiosity. If not, they might turn to friends or the Internet for the answers," he added.
However, clinical psychologist Carol Balhetchet, who specialises in family, children and youth, said the effectiveness of the handbook will depend on the relationship between parent and child.
"If you look more closely, you will realise the children who talk to their parents about drugs are the ones who have a relationship with their parents," she said.
Bringing up preventive drug conversations might backfire if parents do not have a close relationship with the child, she added.
"The child might feel like he is being accused of taking drugs if it comes out of nowhere."
Mr Ong said he brings up the topic of drugs only when the opportunity arises, sometimes after watching a show or reading an article.
"It should be done casually and not be a lecture," he suggested. "The right communication channels should be open and parents should not shy away from the subject."
However, some young people say they would rather get their preventive drug education from school talks or the Internet.
Student Ryan Toh, 18, said: "I haven't spoken to my dad about this before, but the repeated talks in school are enough for me to say 'no' to drugs."
The NCADA survey, which polled 2,748 people aged 13 to 30, also revealed that there was a growing number of young people here displaying a more laid-back attitude towards drugs like cannabis.
Results showed a softening of perceptions towards drugs, where 16 per cent of those aged 13 to 21 had a liberal attitude towards drugs last year, compared with 11 per cent in 2013.
This is set against the backdrop of a growing number of American states legalising cannabis and many other countries' lawmakers calling for its decriminalisation.
While parents The Sunday Times spoke to were shocked at these changing attitudes, young people said it was expected, given some media portrayal of cannabis, also known as "weed", as positive and medicinal, and its prevalence in pop culture.
Student Jacqueline Tan, 20, said that she has heard friends comment that cannabis should be legalised because it is "just a plant".
She added: "(The results) are not surprising. Especially with the kind of exposure we get overseas and over the media, it's slowly becoming a norm that the drug is cool and socially acceptable."
Said 17-year-old student Sarmeni Ramakrishna: "If you scroll through Facebook, you see many overseas articles talking about weed... It's a pretty normal topic among teenagers and I've heard people talk about trying it before."
But she added: "With what I know about drugs, I'm not curious to try it. But I do hope that if I come across a situation where I am offered drugs, I will have the confidence to refuse them."
•The booklet, in all four official languages, can be found at the CNB website www.cnb.gov.sg

What took place over four days in the Vatican was an extraordinary example of the Church admitting guilt, asking forgiveness and proposing remedies. But it would be a mistake to regard what happened as anything more than a first step. An important step, yes, but let no one kid themselves into believing this journey is anywhere close to being complete.
There was little said over these dramatic days that had not been said in some form or another over the past decade or more. What was new, however, was a long-overdue air of seriousness and authenticity as the Pope summoned 190 Church leaders and, in a quasi-public forum, made it clear that this scandal belonged to all of them and all of them were responsible for fixing it. This should have happened years ago.
But although Pope Francis should be commended for ordering this meeting and although it was conducted with no glaring missteps, there is no cause for joy. The thousands of cases of sexual abuse of minors and the coverups by Church leaders have been a shameful episode that has inflicted immeasurable harm on victims and severe damage to the moral authority of the Church. That ongoing shame must be the main takeaway whenever this topic is discussed.
And the entire four days will be for naught if the coming weeks and months fail to produce stringent and mandatory measures to be implemented by the Church worldwide. This task must fall to the Pope.
The cardinals and bishops of the Roman Curia have been consistently unwilling or incapable of implementing meaningful change. The Pope convened this meeting and now it is up to him to finish the job.
The moderator of the summit, Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi, indicated several initiatives are in the works. One of these will be the publication of guidelines for bishops that will underline a mandatory requirement to implement prevention measures and response procedures. Another will see the creation of "task forces" available to dioceses around the world to help bishops who may lack the resources to confront the issue independently. The Pope also intends to issue new laws governing child protection in the Vatican State that will be a model for bishops to follow around the world.
These are all commendable measures but they will be insufficient if unaccompanied by explicit procedures that hold bishops and cardinals accountable for committing crimes or covering them up. In October, the Pope derailed plans by American bishops to do just that, asking them to defer the matter until after the summit. Failing to address that issue now would leave any other plans to combat abuse incomplete.
The Pope succeeded in getting the world's attention at his landmark summit. Now the real work begins.

Earthquake in Alaska
January 24, 2016 January 24, 2016 Los Angeles Post-Examiner staff 201 Views
The U.S. Geological Survey has reported a severe earthquake struck southern Alaska, about 51 miles east Old Iliamna. The reported strength was a magnitude 7.1, at an intermediate depth of 76 miles.
The quake occurred at 1:30 a.m. local time, about 2:30 a.m. Pacific Time and could be felt in Anchorage, which is about 162 miles northeast of the epicenter.
The USGS doesn't expect there will be any severe damage or injuries connected with this event. The National Weather Service said there shouldn't be a tsunami from this quake because it occurred so deep.
Two smaller quakes struck afterwards, but authorities said there was little likelihood of any damage or injury from the quakes. The Alaska Earthquake Center at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks reported about 30 aftershocks have occurred since then.
Alaska has a high number of earthquakes due to its location near the Pacific:North America subduction zone plate boundary. The area just southeast of this latest quake had the second strongest earthquake in modern history on March 22, 1964, which was measured at M9.1.
•••• •••• ••••• •••• ••••
UPDATE: From the USGS: There have been 195 seismic events in Southern California in the past seven days. the most significant happened at 12:28 a.m. on Saturday, an M3.2 quake 10 miles west of Lake Nacmiento, CA, about 237 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

(November 1, 2016) – Earlier today, Military Times honored Armstrong State University, ranking the institution 4th in the nation among four-year schools on its Best for Vets: Colleges 2017 list. This year marks the third consecutive year Armstrong has been included on the prestigious list. In 2016, Armstrong was ranked #7 in the U.S.
The eighth annual rankings factor in the results of Military Times' comprehensive school-by-school survey of veteran and military student offerings and rates of academic achievement. Military Times' annual Best for Vets: Colleges survey asks colleges and universities to document the array of services, special rules, accommodations and financial incentives offered to students with military ties and to describe aspects of veteran culture on a campus. Awarded institutions were evaluated in several categories, with university culture and academic outcomes bearing the most weight.
Military Times also factors in data from the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments, as well as Education Department sources: the IPEDS Data Center, College Scorecard data and the Cohort Default Rate Database.
The rankings will be published online at MilitaryTimes.com, as well as ArmyTimes.com, NavyTimes.com, AirForceTimes.com and MarineCorpsTimes.com as of Nov. 1; and will appear in full in a special magazine issue of Military Times on newsstands in mid-November.
Previously, Armstrong was honored as a Top 100 Military Spouse Friendly School by Military Spouse magazine and a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine. The university is ranked in the top 20 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide for its military friendly status. Armstrong also has a Green Zone program to support military affiliated students on campus through faculty and staff awareness training and currently waives all mandatory fees for active duty military.
As a complement to Armstrong's main campus in Savannah, the university operates the Armstrong Liberty Center in Hinesville, which helps members of the military community and their families pursue higher education and earn college degrees in key fields in Liberty County. A new expanded facility in downtown Hinesville opened to students in January 2016.

A Day in the Life of a NY Giants Team Photographer on an NFL Game Day
Sony LA-EA 5 Adapter Review: A Nice Gesture From Sony
JIP to Ditch Olympus Name, Focus on 'High End' MFT Cameras: Report
Want to see what a workday is like as an official photographer of an NFL football team? The NY Giants released this 4.5-minute video that follows along with team photographer Matthew Swensen on a game day.
For a game that kicks off at 1pm, Swensen gets to work as early as 7:30am to start getting ready. Once in the office, Swensen does an equipment check. He shoots with Canon gear: a 400mm, 70-200mm, 3 Canon DSLRs, extra batteries, and extra lenses (a 24-70mm, a 16-35mm, and a 135mm).
Four hours before kickoff, Swensen photographs players arriving at the stadium for social media.
Swensen then sets up remote cameras on the field for capturing things like players running out of the tunnel from a safe distance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Next is photographing the players on the field warming up in shirts and shorts.
"I like to walk the field and try to find different and interesting shots," Swensen says. "Being a team photographer is a lot like being a tour photographer. You're shooting the same thing week by week so you try to find new and interesting things while still trying to tell the story of the game."
Swensen's point of view when photographing NY Giants quarterback Daniel Jones during pregame warmups.
After the game starts, Swensen continually moves around to find the best vantage point to capture the action from, separating himself from other team photographers to capture the game from different angles.
"Positioning is everything," the photographer says. "I'll move up and down usually 30 or 40 yards ahead of the play or behind the play depending on offense/defense."
Once the game is over, Swensen goes indoors and begins transferring, editing, and tagging the massive number of photos (usually 2,000 or more) he captured over the course of the day.
"These photos are used throughout the year for social, editorial, posters, graphics, marketing, and many other uses," Swensen says. "But most importantly, it tells the story of the team for the 2020 season, so it's important to spend the time and make sure every photo is looking as good as it can."

14 Famous Families Who Had Very Public Feuds, And Whether They Chose Forgiveness Or A Permanent Falling Out
Family drama is a familiar headline in Hollywood, playing out in the press the same way a non-famous family's fallout may play out over Facebook.
Here are 14 celebs who had huge fallouts with their families (and whether they made up or not):
1.THE FEUD: In 1999, Jennifer Aniston's mom, Nancy Dow, released a tell-all book, From Mother and Daughter to Friends, about her contentious relationship with her daughter. It resulted in a long estrangement between the two.

They were back on speaking terms before Nancy's death in 2016.
In 2015, Jen told the Hollywood Reporter, "We're all fine. ... She was critical. She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn't. I never was. I honestly still don't think of myself in that sort of light, which is fine. She was also very unforgiving. She would hold grudges that I just found so petty."
THE FORGIVENESS: In 2022, she told Allure, "I forgave my mom. I forgave my father. I've forgiven my family."

In 2018, she told Elle, "My mom said those things because she really loved me. It wasn't her trying to be a bitch or knowing she would be making some deep wounds that I would then spend a lot of money to undo. She did it because that was what she grew up with. 'You want to be happy. It's hard for big girls.' She was missing what was [actually] important. I think she was just holding on and doing the best she could, struggling financially and dealing with a husband who was no longer there. Being a single mom in the '80s I'm sure was pretty crappy."
2.THE FEUD: After 1986's A Time to Kill made Matthew McConaughey a bona fide star, his mom, Mary McCabe, began leaking personal stories he told her to the press. After she invited the Hard Copy tabloid news show to tour their family home, Matthew stopped talking to her for eight years.

THE FORGIVENESS: After eight years, Matthew was ready to let her back into his life. He told Red Table Talk, "My boat was built well enough where I didn't feel like she could sink it. I just took the reins off, and said, 'Mom, hit that red carpet, talk to all of 'em, and tell them all the stories you want.' And she's been great about it ever since."

Appearing on the same episode as her son, Mary admitted that she'd been "enjoying his fame more than he was" at the time.
3.THE FEUD: After Meghan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry, her dad, Thomas Markle Sr., reportedly staged paparazzi pictures of himself, missed her wedding, gave an interview about a private conversation he had with the couple, and gave a letter she wrote him to the Daily Mail for publication without her knowledge or consent.
Ndz / GC Images / Via Getty, Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images
Megan and Harry sued the Daily Mail for breaching the Data Protection Act 2018 and misusing private info as well as copyright infringement. The couple won the lawsuit.
THE FALLOUT: In her and Harry's Oprah interview, Meghan said, "I look at Archie [her son], I think about this child, and I genuinely can't imagine doing anything to intentionally cause pain to my child. So it's hard for me to reconcile that."

She said, "We called my dad, and I asked him [if he was working with the tabloids], and he said, 'No, absolutely not.' I said, 'You know, the Institution has never intervened for anything for us, but they can try to go in and kill this story. But if they do this once, we're not going to be able to use that same leverage to protect our own kids one day. I said, 'I just need you to tell me. If you tell me the truth, we can help.' And he wasn't able to do that. And that for me has really resonated, especially now as a mother."
4.THE FEUD: In a now-infamous video from 2014, Solange Knowles attacked her brother-in-law Jay-Z in an elevator during a Met Gala afterparty. They were separated by a security guard as well as Beyoncé herself.

People reported that Solange was "provoked" after an interaction with fashion designer Rachel Roy (who has long been speculated to be "Becky with the good hair," aka the woman Jay-Z allegedly cheated on Beyoncé with).
THE FORGIVENESS: Ten days later, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Solange released a joint statement, saying, "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other, and we have moved forward as a united family."
Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic, Inc / Via Getty
They continued, "The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems, and we're no different. We love each other, and above all, we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."
5.THE FEUD: When Heather Graham started filming the 1997 film Boogie Nights, she stopped talking with her parents, Joan and James Graham. Their estrangement was a result of her rebellion against the way she was raised in a rigid Irish Catholic household.

At the time, Heather's parents told USA Weekend, "We wish her the absolute best. She does a great job [as an actor]. Our hearts and arms are open to her."
However, in the same interview, Heather said, "It's like saying if what they did didn't hurt me, I could have a relationship with them. But I have to respect my feelings."
THE FALLOUT: In 2013, Heather reportedly said, "Part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am, but, if they never do, it's OK." James alleged to the Sun that Boogie Nights "destroyed" their family.

6.THE FEUD: In 2011, Adele's father, Mark Evans, who walked out on the family when she was young, was tracked down by the Sun for an exclusive interview in which he discussed the challenges of their relationship. It resulted in a falling out between the two.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty Images
He told the outlet that he was a "rotten father" when she needed him. After detailing the pain he felt from missing her, he also admitted that Adele's claims that she cut contact with him since she was 11 were "lies" she told to protect him.
THE FORGIVENESS: Before Mark's death in 2021, he and Adele "forgave each other." During her Adele One Night Only special, she told Oprah, "I felt that huge gaping hole filled... We found our peace together, and then I played the album to him on Zoom."

She also said, "My dad's absolute lack of presence and effort... But I finally understood that it was the alcohol... It took my dad from me..."
7.THE FEUD: In 2011, Leighton Meester's mom, Constance Meester, claimed that she and her daughter had an oral contract promising that Leighton agreed to send her $10,000 a month for life. However, Leighton sued Constance for allegedly using the monthly $7,500 stipend she sent to cover her little brother's medical bills on cosmetic procedures for herself instead.

Constance alleged that Leighton "hit her with a bottle" and countersued for $3 million. However, she later dropped the lawsuit.
THE FALLOUT: In 2012, the Los Angeles court ruled that Leighton didn't owe Constance anything because there wasn't a valid or enforceable agreement between them.

8.THE FEUD: On Father's Day 2015, Oliver Hudson posted an old picture of himself, his sister Kate Hudson, and their dad, Bill Hudson, on Instagram. He captioned it, "Happy abandonment day."

Kate also posted an Instagram picture with Kurt Russell, their mother Goldie Hawn's long-term partner. She captioned it, "Pa, just simply...Thank you. Happy Fathers Day. I love you to the moon and back."
After seeing both posts, Bill told the Daily Mail, "I say to them now, 'I set you free.' I had five birth children, but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognise Oliver and Kate as my own. I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name. They are no longer a part of my life. Oliver's Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack. He is dead to me now. As is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth."
THE FALLOUT: In 2021, Kate told Sunday Today with Willie Geist, "I think that estrangement is unfortunately quite common. I think it's important for people to talk about that."

9.THE FEUD: In 2013, the Jonas Brothers broke up their band, shocking fans ahead of their fifth album release and planned tour. Nick said he "couldn't do it anymore" — but Joe and Kevin didn't see the breakup coming.

In 2019, Nick told CBS Sunday Morning, "I said, 'You know, I feel like the Jonas Brothers should be no more, and we should go on individual journeys.' And it didn't go so well. ... I feared that, you know, we — they would never speak to me again."
In the band's joint memoir Blood, Joe said, "I walked into that meeting like a tourist going to the beach," he began. "I kicked back on the couch and said, 'What's going on?' and put my feet up. I didn't see the tsunami coming. I still remember the exact words he said. 'My heart is no longer in this.' It was like something our dad would say. Very pastor-like. Something an old-fashioned gentleman might say to his partner when getting divorced. It felt formal, serious...and permanent."
He continued, "The pressure kept building inside me, until Kevin set it loose. Kevin was going on about a breakup tour. 'We can figure this out,' he was saying. 'We'll just say, this is it. We're breaking up and we're going to do this farewell tour.' ... How could he be cool with this so quickly? It was all over, and he was trying to market it. This was not okay."
THE FORGIVENESS: In 2019, the band reunited and released their comeback single, "Sucker." They've been going strong ever since.
10.THE FEUD: In 2008, Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone told Good Morning America that the "turning point" in their once-close relationship was "when she's rolling around on [their] mother's grave" in her documentary Truth or Dare. His tell-all book, Life With My Sister Madonna, led to further strain.

He also told GMA that they clashed over finances when he felt Madonna wasn't providing enough support for their grandmother. He said, "It's difficult to trust people, you know, but someone like my grandmother, you know, you just do it. I wanted her to look after her, to get her a driver and a car. It seems like the easiest thing to do. Ultimately, so she, she gave her $500 a month and pays, and pays for her medical bills."
THE FORGIVENESS: In 2019, Madonna and Chris put their feud to rest for their dad's sake. Chris told RadarOnline.com, "We are at peace now and just spoke last week."

11.THE FEUD: Tatum O'Neal's contentious relationship with her father, Ryan O'Neal, made headlines since they co-starred in 1973's Paper Moon. They were estranged for 20 years.

In 2004, Tatum wrote about their relationship in her memoir A Paper Life.
THE FORGIVENESS: The death of Ryan's partner Farrah Fawcett in 2009 served "a very big role" in bringing him and Tatum back together. They documented their reconciliation in the 2011 reality series Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals.
In 2010, Tatum told People, "God forbid something were to have happened to my dad. I don't know if I could have lived with myself."
In 2020, her son, Sean McEnroe, shared a picture of himself and his siblings with Tatum and Ryan on Instagram. In the caption, he wrote, "This is one of the most memorable photos of my life. The last time we were all together was at the 30-year Paper Moon Anniversary in 2003. I could cry tears of gratitude that everyone in this photo is still alive and that we were all able to come together again after so many years of hardship. The entire West Coast is burning, but if the O'Neals can reconcile, truly anything is possible."
12.THE FEUD: When Drew Barrymore was 14, she legally emancipated herself from her mother, Jaid Barrymore, because they "had driven [their] relationship into the ground." They became estranged.

In her 2015 memoir, Wildflower, Drew wrote, "She had lost credibility as a mother by taking me to Studio 54 (so wrong, but so fun) instead of school. And I was out of control due to working since I was 11 months old and what that had done to my childhood, which made me grow up too fast. Work was a very positive thing in my life, and sadly it had been taken away, because my mother also put me in an institution because she felt helpless. But when people found out, they just wrote me off as damaged goods, and I sadly understood that."
THE FORGIVENESS: On a 2021 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Drew revealed that she and Jaid "are good now."

She said, "There's just some peace and respect and maturity there that could not have taken place maybe before. Timing is everything... I feel goodness toward my mom. I feel empathy and understanding."
13.THE FEUD: In 2009, Candy Spelling alleged to 94.7 WMAS-FM's Kellogg Krew that her daughter Tori Spelling "one day decided that she wasn't speaking to" her parents and brother. She also said it was "what killed [her] husband [Aaron Spelling], actually."
Charley Gallay / WireImage / Via Getty
Candy continued, "He just didn't want to live after that. He [had] just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."
At the time, Tori told People, "It's not like we're not talking, we just haven't talked. I love my mother. I've always loved her [and] no doubt she loves me. There's no feud. We simply never meshed... My mother is who she is. I've become who I am. At some point I realized those two just didn't go together."
She also alleged that she didn't cut Candy off.
There was also reportedly tension between them because of Tori's affair with Dean McDermott and her decision to elope with him.
THE FORGIVENESS: In 2022, Tori told SiriusXM, "We've had a good relationship, but it's like next level right now. I'm really happy. And surprisingly our friend [Million Dollar Listing star] Josh Flagg really helped kind of bring us together."
Patrick Mcmullan / Patrick McMullan via Getty Images
She explained that they hadn't spoken since the coronavirus pandemic. She said, "Then Josh was like, 'Okay, we're gonna do a family dinner at her place.' So we went and we had a great night. And we've been together ever since."
14.And finally, THE FEUD: In 2002, Angelina Jolie's estrangement from her father, Jon Voight, reached the point that she decided to change her legal name from Angelina Jolie Voight to just Angelina Jolie.
Her name change was granted a month after Jon told Access Hollywood that his daughter needed to get help for unspecified "mental problems" after her divorce from Billy Bob Thornton. He also said that not being able to see his grandchild was "the greatest pain."
In a response statement, Angelina said, "I don't want to make public the reasons for my bad relationship with my father. I will only say that, like every child, [brother] Jamie and I would have loved to have had a warm and loving relationship with our dad. After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child."
THE FORGIVENESS: In 2009, they reconciled. Jon told Us Weekly, "We're in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that's the most important thing."
In 2017, Angelina told Vanity Fair, "He's been very good at understanding they needed their grandfather at this time [after Angelina's separation from Brad Pitt]. I had to do a therapy meeting last night and he was just around. He knows kind of the rule — don't make them play with you. Just be a cool grandpa who's creative, and hang out and tell stories and read a book in the library."

History of Masjid Alwi Kangar at Perlis, Malaysia
Malaysia Mosques Travel
Kangar, Perlis, Malaysia
A trip to Perlis will not be complete without a brief stopover at Masjid Alwi Kangar - one of the state's major landmarks with a significant history.

Masjid Alwi Kangar, Perlis: Mosque Built From Egg Whites
Masjid Alwi Kangar is named after Raja Syed Alwi Ibni Almarhum Tuan Syed Saffi Jamalullail - the King of Perlis at the time of construction. Its erection began in 1931 after sufficient funds were collected since the early 1920s. The mosque was completed approximately three years later in 1933 with its grand opening being officiated by the King. In 1988, Masjid Alwi was declared a national heritage in Malaysia.
Islam is a beautiful religion. Don't judge it on the basis of a few Muslims who have committed wrongs. "Islam is not what some Muslims do. It is what all Muslims are supposed to do." If it is able to transform a non-practitioner like myself into a better, more compassionate human being, imagine what its true teachings can do to others 💙
A post shared by Grace Ng (@rollinggrace) on Mar 5, 2020 at 6:11am PST
A Mosque Built From Egg Whites
The remarkability and beauty of the mosque lie beyond its striking classic Mughal architecture that was perfected by craftsmen brought in from India, but also in its rather surprising construction materials: egg white and sand. Due to the unusual building materials required, the mosque took 3 years to complete as a lot of time was spent on sourcing them. Today, the mosque still stands strong and proud even without having any concrete support.
The building materials of Masjid Alwi Kangar include egg whites and sand mixtures
Symbol of Muslim Unity in Perlis
Masjid Alwi Kangar was successfully constructed thanks to the collective donation by Muslim businessmen, tithes (zakat), and allocation by the State Government. The local community also organised small-scale donation drives to assist with the funding efforts, and the construction finally began after over a decade when enough funds were gathered.
Masjid Alwi Kangar is a symbol of Muslim unity in Perlis
The Oldest Mosque in Perlis
Located in the heart of the capital, Masjid Alwi is a stone's throw away from many other Perlis landmarks such as the Kangar Clock Tower, Muzium Kangar, Galeri Seni Piring Hitam, as well as the colonial State Secretariat Building. Thanks to this, going on a day tour to discover Perlis is a breeze and more time can be spent on admiring the preserved beauty of these buildings rather than on traveling.

Amazing architecture and to know they use egg whites, wow mindblowing!
