Once the request for proposals is released, the manufacturers will have until the end of the year to submit bids, defence and industry sources told CBC News.
It was the former Conservative government that kicked off the effort to replace the three-decade-old CF-18s in 2010, an attempt that was shot down in a dispute over the way the F-35 fighter was selected.
The program became mired in politics when the Liberals promised during the 2015 election campaign not to buy the stealth jet. A final decision will now have to wait until after this fall's election.
The competition comes at a time of renewed geopolitical rivalry between the West and Russia and China, and the chief of the Swedish Air Force says his fighters have been busier than ever.
Maj.-Gen. Mats Helgesson said Sweden, which has a long history of being a neutral and non-aligned country, has over the past few years found its airspace violated more frequently by both Russian and NATO warplanes.
That has required a stepped-up state of readiness for the country's Gripen fighter jet squadrons.
"When we look around our borders, especially over the Baltic Sea, we can see increased activity, not only Russia but also NATO," Helgesson told CBC News in an interview.

The name Sport Utility Vehicle gets bandied about quite a bit these days. In modern terms that "utility" is the capability to carry more stuff around while accumulating more stuff to carry. The "utility" in the original SUV meant the ability to actually do stuff and Willy's Overland made sure the original SUV could deliver.War time manufacturers can see the writing on the wall when a conflict is coming to an end. They need to focus on a product that will carry them into the intervening post war years without destroying their company in the process. World War I had a devastating effect on many manufacturers who were forced into producing war munitions, vehicles, and other items. They had used up their workforce, their equipment, and the workers and had no way to replace them all.
In the early 1940's Willy's Overland saw the same thing coming at the end of World War II. As the war wound down Willy's started looking at their successful combat vehicle the MB Jeep. Wanting to stay in business they took that versatile MB, added some features for the average American and released the CJ2A.
Targeted at farm and industrial use the CJ2A was fitted with an accessory hydraulic lift on the rear of the vehicle and a power take off that was a shaft connected to the transfer case. This allowed the owner to drive farm implements from the Jeep. Find a modern SUV that offers this level of "utility", most pickup trucks don't offer these options.
With all of the wildfires raging across the country recently getting this setup back into use seems like a great idea. They are using the plow to dig a fire break.
How about a vehicle mounted welder powered by the PTO system. That's a lot of utility out of an SUV.
How about 500 pounds of valve pressure at the twist of a knob. A Jeep with a hydraulic lift would be pretty handy.
Watch the video to see even more things the Willy's CJ2A was capable of. The amount of attachments and accessories would require an infomercial to sell today. This unfortunate side effect of watching all of this is now I "need" a CJ2A with all of these attachments. You know, to go to the mall.

By Carlos Gamino
A Los Angeles judge ended Britney Spears' 13-year-long conservatorship with the stroke of a pen in mid-November, freeing the former child star from her father's control over her finances, career decisions and personal matters.
Spears' father, Jamie Spears, had maintained that the conservatorship was necessary to protect the singer from herself. However, he eventually said that it was time for her to "retake control of her life."
Though most Americans know about conservatorship – and most are of the belief that it's designed to protect people from themselves – there is potential for abuse. Spears, for example, claimed that her parents ruined her life through the abuse of her conservatorship, which is a form of legal guardianship typically reserved for people who can't make sound decisions.
Spears' conservatorship began in 2008 following a series of unfortunate events for the singer, including a hospitalization that raised concerns about her mental health. During Spears' time as her father's ward, she continued to perform, holding concerts in Las Vegas and several other venues. However, Spears alleges that she wasn't allowed to use the money she earned from those performances, that her father prevented her from seeing a doctor to remove her intrauterine device, or IUD, and that her father forced her to take lithium to treat bipolar disorder.
A handful of documentaries, including one by The New York Times entitled Controlling Britney Spears, in conjunction with the "Free Britney" movement (a collection of fans protesting for the pop star's release from conservatorship) have drawn significant attention over the past few years.
Did you see any of the "Free Britney" documentaries or docuseries? Do you believe that Spears needs further guidance, or is she better off without a guardian? What do you think of her father's role in the conservatorship? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please share them on my Facebook page or Twitter feed!

Dumbest Criminals of 2020
Posted by Carlos Gamino in Attorney Carlos A. Gamino, Carlos Gamino of Waukesha
2020, Dumb Criminals, Funny Criminals
You might be able to argue that breaking the law isn't the smartest choice a person could ever make – but you could argue that if you're going to break the law, you could at least be smart about it. Someone should've told these people that before they were nabbed in some of the wildest situations of 2020.
She's No David Copperfield
An Ohio inmate, after being arrested for breaking into a senior citizen's home, decided she could break out of jail… by crawling through the ceiling. As you might expect, the police station's ceiling was fairly flimsy, causing her to come crashing through the reception area. She landed head-first in a trash can, and police simply picked her up, cuffed her and took her back to her cell.
When You Gotta Go…
A Michigan man was nabbed mid-stream by police officers as he urinated on a police car in St. Petersburg, Florida. The police cuffed him while he continued to urinate, and the police said he was "uncooperative with questioning" as they charged him with disorderly conduct.
Never Leave Your ID at a Crime Scene
A lot of thieves are careful about leaving anything behind while they're "on the job" – many won't even leave fingerprints. But a pair of guys in Marion County, Florida, weren't so concerned. They left behind a shoe, some tools and even a wallet with a driver's license in one of the stores they'd broken into as they lifted cigarettes and lottery tickets.
Banks Only Take U.S. Currency
A Jefferson County, Colorado man went to make a deposit at the drive-through of his local bank and put a little more than cash in the pneumatic tube – he deposited two bags of cocaine, too. The local sheriff's office said, "After further investigation it turns out the customer didn't mean to deposit his cocaine."
Don't Leave Your Undies Unattended at the Laundromat
If you visit the laundromat, you probably don't think you need to monitor the dryers while they're running – but if you don't, someone else might. In fact, a Wisconsin man stole several pair of underwear and a handful of bras from laundromats all over Fond du Lac County… and then used them to start fires in both vacant and occupied buildings.

When Police Push the Envelope
23 Tuesday Jun 2015
It's generally accepted wisdom that if you don't break the law, you don't have anything to worry about. But what happens when people get into a he-said, she-said situation with police?
Police are sworn officers of the law, so it's not surprising that what they say carries a little more weight than what an accused criminal says. However, with organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union and a handful of others making it easier to record police encounters, the fires of suspicion are continually being stoked. (The ACLU launched a "Mobile Justice" app for smartphones that live-streams encounters to their database; if people want to retrieve them for evidence later, they simply request them through the organization.)
It really seems like there's a genuine distrust of police sweeping the nation. Most police don't deserve it.
Maybe it's due to the fact that every confrontation between police and civilians makes it on the 6 o'clock news and spreads around Facebook like wildfire.
The story of a Texas officer knocking out a woman in front of her 6-year-old daughter in April, for example, has thousands of "Likes" and comments, as does video of a police officer punching a woman who, at the time, was 9 months pregnant.
There's no doubt that these officers may have reacted the wrong way to the situations they were in; I don't think anyone would dispute that. However, the rate of distrust is growing.
Experts aren't sure what we should do. We have police hosting "Coffee with a Cop" events and this incredibly amazing day that police spent one day before Christmas. While these things do a little, they're not solving the problem – and at this point, nobody has the right answers.
How would you change public perception of police, or do you think it doesn't need to be changed? I'd love to hear what you think, and it's a discussion we all need to have. Share your thoughts on my Facebook page and let everyone know what you think!
Can the Government Listen In on Your Phone Calls?
Carlos Gamino, a criminal defense lawyer in Milwaukee, is always interested in privacy laws. Here's his take on whether the government can—or should—listen in on your phone calls.
Your phone calls are your own private business. That is, until the government has a reason to listen in. Wiretapping and accessing call records are accepted practices that have been going on for decades. With court approval, the government and police can request cooperation from phone companies to listen in on your conversations.
In fact, a 2014 report from Vodafone, one of the world's largest cellular companies, revealed that government snooping into phone networks happens extensively all across the globe. This may come as a surprise, but according to Vodafone, many countries even demand direct access into Vodafone's networks without providing a warrant or prior notice. The report included all of the 29 countries across Europe, Africa and Asia in which Vodafone operates.
Recently, however, the U.S. and the United Kingdom have been accused of taking things one step farther. They're accused of hacking Dutch SIM card manufacturer Gemalto's private data and stealing the encryption keys that secure communications between mobile phones and cell towers. These keys allow snoopers to decode phone conversations and text messages.
With the attack, the hackers—whomever they ultimately prove to be—hit the motherlode. Gemalto operates in 85 countries and fabricates about 2 billion SIM cards each year across 40 manufacturing facilities.
To put the scale of the incident into greater perspective, the SIM card hack gives its perpetrators the ability to monitor a significant portion of the world's voice and data cellular communications… and they can do it all secretly. That access spans across major telecom networks, including some of America's largest like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile, and approximately 450 other wireless providers around the globe—all clients of Gemalto.
The hack is likely to involve many American consumers since nearly 90 percent of U.S. households use wireless service and 39 percent of them are wireless-only, according to 2013 data reported by international non-profit wireless communications organization CTIA.
While many countries put a heavy emphasis on their citizens' privacy, governments around the world have become increasingly vigilant against terrorism and other potential threats. In many cases, they view wiretapping as a mechanism necessary to help ensure the safety and well-being of their people.
What do you think? If the U.S. and the United Kingdom really are guilty of hacking Gemalto, were they justified in doing so in the name of national security?
What do you do to protect your own privacy? I'd love to hear your opinions, so please, drop by my Facebook page and let me know.
Is it Legal for Companies to Require Vaccinations?
By Carlos Gamino, Wisconsin attorney
With this country's recent measles outbreak, which has been traced back to Disneyland in California, there's plenty of talk about what to do to prevent something like this from ever happening again. Naturally, vaccinations are the simple choice: get yourself and your children vaccinated and you have an extremely slim chance of contracting the measles.
In many cases, however, vaccinations are optional. Homeschooled children can fly under the radar when it comes to vaccines, and so can kids whose parents have an exemption. In the state of Wisconsin, parents are allowed to cite religious and philosophical reasons for not vaccinating (medical exemptions have always been allowed, because some people are too at-risk to receive vaccinations that healthy people have no problem receiving). The student immunization law clearly outlines which shots children need to attend school in Wisconsin, but what about adults?
Nobody is keeping up with the adults.
Among the known cases of measles that stemmed from the Disneyland outbreak, five people had received two or more measles vaccinations. At least 32 of the people who were infected were older than 20, as well, so that means nearly 25 percent of the people were adults who should be immune, according to the CDC.
With all that said, some companies are requiring their employees to prove their immunity or get an MMR booster shot. Hospitals are among the places that do the most to ensure employee vaccination, but still, not all of their employees participate. Workers and staff at a Washington hospital filed a federal lawsuit over a mandatory H1N1 vaccine in 2009, and New York dropped their mandatory vaccination rules in fear of lawsuits (and in the face of vaccine shortages).
For the most part, it is legal for employers to require you to get your immunizations. That's because most employment is "at-will," so you can quit or be fired at any time. There are a few exceptions, such as those who have employment contracts, those with collective bargaining agreements and those with employers that infringe on religious liberties by forcing vaccinations.
What do you think? Should more employers mandate vaccines, or is that asking too much from society? I'd love to hear your opinion here or on my Facebook page.
Wisconsin's Purge Hoax Revisited
Attorney Carlos Gamino, Carlos A. Gamino
Attorney Carlos A. Gamiño is a movie buff, and as such, finds it incredibly interesting when movies inspire real-life events. Good events, that is, like people being inspired by Pay it Forward… Not so with The Purge, which scared the daylights out of moviegoers and inspired hoaxes all over the country. Here's a lawyer's perspective.
The Purge. A scary movie with so-so acting… and one that inspired real-life terror in many communities across the country.
If you haven't seen The Purge yet, read some of the 2013 horror's reviews before you part with your hard-earned money. Here's a synopsis:
Everything illegal, including robbery and murder, is legal for a 12-hour period in this futuristic flick. It follows one family through a terrifying night where neighbors become enemies until dawn – and then, suddenly, everyone forgives and forgets.
What one high schooler started in Louisville, Kentucky started in August had some Wisconsin residents locking up and battening down the hatches a few weeks later, though. An internet hoax claiming that people would be having their own citizen-style purge—without the consent of local law enforcement, of course—on a particular night and starting at a particular time.
The rumor made its way to Milwaukee by the end of August, and Appleton, Fond du Lac, Green Bay and Madison were supposed to be in on it, too.
While starting a hoax like this isn't illegal, and nothing actually happened in Wisconsin, similar hoaxes did cause a 20 percent rise in calls to police in Louisville. Police there said that people who posted threatening messages on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook could face criminal charges.
What do you think of hoaxes that really instill fear in peaceful communities? Are you concerned that some people will take them seriously, or do you brush them off as childish pranks that don't deserve any attention… and what are we going to do about the hoaxes that will almost certainly circle the sequel, which is headed for video now? I'm interested in your take, so please leave comments below.

Lawyer Bills Client for… Sex
Attorney Carlos A. Gamino
torney Carlos A. Gamiño practices criminal defense law and divorce law in Milwaukee, Waukesha and the surrounding areas.
It's not too often that we see attorneys in trouble for breaking the law – after all, it's our jobs to know precisely what the laws are and how they affect everyday citizens. However, there have been more than a few recent cases of lawyers having to answer for their actions in front of a disciplinary board.
As a criminal defense lawyer in Milwaukee, there's very little that surprises me. When I stumbled on a story about an attorney in Minnesota having sex with his client, though, the details left me shaking my head.
Thomas P. Lowe, a 58-year-old divorce lawyer from Eagan, Minnesota, began an affair with a client he was representing. According to court documents, the affair lasted for six months – and then Lowe broke things off because he wanted to save his own marriage. The woman involved then made a suicide attempt, and while she was in the hospital, she disclosed their affair.
The real kicker, though?
Lowe was billing the woman for the times they spent being intimate. He was logging those hours as "meetings" and "preparing forms."
It's one thing for a lawyer to have sex with a client, which isn't allowed in the first place. It's another when he's married… and it's another scenario entirely when the lawyer is billing the client for having sex with her in the backseat of a car (yes, really).
Lowe was suspended indefinitely for his conduct, and it probably wasn't beneficial to him that he had prior disciplinary action; a little more than a decade ago, he purchased cocaine from a client and was caught.
Did his client deserve that kind of treatment? Certainly not. He billed her $900 for the time that she was emotionally and physically involved with him – not to mention the hourly rates he was charging her to work on her case. Every aspect of what happened is unfortunate, from start to finish.
Life isn't about taking advantage of other people. It's about making other people's lives better, and that unfailingly makes our own lives better.

Growing Marijuana in Milwaukee
Attorney Carlos A. Gamino, Attorney Carlos Gamino, Growing Marijuana, marijuana, Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney, Milwaukee Drug Crime, Wisconsin Drug Crime
Everyone h
as something to say about the war on drugs, but the fact remains that no matter which side you're on, it's illegal to grow and sell marijuana in Wisconsin… at least for the time being. If you've been charged with growing marijuana, you're going to need to talk to a Milwaukee drug crime lawyer who knows how to help.
Growing Pot is a Felony in Milwaukee
You may have done well in chemistry and biology, but growing marijuana will get you a big, fat F (as in felony). While individual convictions vary based on the amount, it's considered manufacturing a controlled substance.
Every person convicted of a drug offense has to have their driver's license suspended for at least six months but not more than five years; from there, things go downhill. You could spend time in prison for growing marijuana, and there are penalty enhancers that come into play if you intended to distribute it or if the offense occurs in a public housing project or near a park, a school or a handful of other places.
Is Marijuana Ever Going to Become Legal in Wisconsin?
There's no way to tell whether pot will become legal for recreational use in Wisconsin. Governor Scott Walker passed a limited medical cannabis bill, but recent studies out of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine suggest that brain alterations take place in casual marijuana smokers… and those studies may affect future legislation.
So what does that mean for you?
If you've been caught growing marijuana in Milwaukee, you're going to need a lawyer who understands the most current laws. Whether you had a tiny plant on your windowsill or you were running a large farm, you can't afford not to have a talented Milwaukee drug crime lawyer in your corner like Attorney Carlos A. Gamiño. Call (414) 383-6700 as soon as you can; you deserve to have your rights protected and to have someone looking out for you.
Criminal Property Damage in Milwaukee
Posted by Carlos Gamino in Attorney Carlos A. Gamino, Carlos Gamino of Waukesha, Milwaukee Criminal Lawyer, Wisconsin Criminal Law
Attorney Carlos A. Gamino, Attorney Carlos Gamino, Carlos A. Gamino, Criminal damage, Criminal Damage to Property, criminal property damage, misdemeanor
We all make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes have a price. Criminal damage to property is one of those mistakes – and it could cost you dearly. Many people are under the mistaken impression that criminal damage to property is always a misdemeanor, but that's not always the case. In fact, this crime is one of the most clearly outlined on Wisconsin's law books.
If someone threatens to press charges against you or if you're already being charged with criminal property damage, call Milwaukee lawyer Carlos A. Gamiño immediately, because the consequences might be more severe than you think.
Being Charged with Criminal Property Damage in Milwaukee
In many cases, criminal damage to property is a misdemeanor. It doesn't take much to convict someone, either; all that has to be proven is that someone intentionally damaged property that wasn't theirs without the consent of the owner. That's it – so even something that seems small, such as breaking a window or ruining photos could constitute criminal property damage.
The maximum sentence you can receive for a misdemeanor criminal property damage conviction is 9 months in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. But it's not always "just" a misdemeanor.
Sometimes criminal property damage is a felony. That's usually reserved for more serious offenses that involve vehicles, public property or high-value items. If you're convicted of this type of felony, you could face several years in prison and extremely substantial fines.
Often, the difference between a few months in jail and a few years lies in the value of the property. You need to work with a lawyer who understands how the system works and won't let someone get away with inflating the value of a specific piece of property; you need someone who will fight aggressively in your defense. Call Carlos Gamiño at (414)383-6700 if you're dealing with criminal property damage in Milwaukee or Waukesha – don't gamble with your future over someone else's property.
Criminal Justice Myths Busted
Posted by Carlos Gamino in Carlos Gamino of Waukesha, Milwaukee Criminal Lawyer, Wisconsin Criminal Law
Attorney Carlos Gamino, Criminal Justice Myth, Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney, Waukesha Criminal Lawyer, Wisconsin Criminal Law
While it's fun to watch Law & Order, CSI and other "true crime" shows, they don't really give us an accurate picture of the criminal justice system. In fact, some of those shows spread misinformation that people start to believe – so as an experienced Milwaukee criminal lawyer, Attorney Carlos Gamino of Waukesha wants to set the record straight.
3 Criminal Justice Myths Busted
There are several criminal justice myths we could bust, but there are three big ones that can really hurt your future.
Criminal Justice Myth #1: Police Have to Tell You They're Police
Many people believe that if you ask a cop if he's a cop, he has to tell you the truth. That's not at all true, but the myth often causes a real problem for people, including many who are eventually charged with possession of a narcotic drug or paraphernalia in Milwaukee. You can ask an undercover police officer a dozen times, and he or she is never required to tell you the truth.
Criminal Justice Myth #2: You Have to Answer a Police Officer's Questions
When police start asking you questions, the only thing you need to say is "I'd like to talk to a lawyer." You don't have to say a word until you've talked things over with your attorney, and in most cases, your attorney will be by your side during questioning. That is your right, no matter what you've been accused of doing, and the police cannot take it from you.
Whether or not you are guilty of a crime, police can tell you anything to get you to confess. They can tell you that you'll be better off or promise you that a judge will go easier on you. However, police are in no position to make these kinds of promises; you should never confess to anything without being under an experienced criminal defense lawyer's guidance.
Criminal Justice Myth #3: Your Case Will Be Dismissed if You're Not Read Your Rights
Only rarely are cases dismissed because the accused weren't read their rights. The police are supposed to make you aware of your Miranda rights ("You have the right to remain silent…") when they have you in custody and are asking you questions. However, a police officer's failure to Mirandize you isn't always grounds for dismissing your case.
There are dozens of other criminal justice myths (no, police don't have to show you their radar detectors or write error-free tickets; you can be charged with a crime even if you don't get out of the car; and you can still be charged with possession after you toss drugs out the window), but these are potentially the most damaging. Don't waste time handling tough situations alone – call an experienced Milwaukee criminal lawyer who's ready to fight for you.

The Pasha Resurrects
What 'Isa Ibn Hisham Told Us
Muhammad al-Muwaylihi
Sometime in the late 1890s, a struggling writer named 'Isa took a walk in the City of the Dead. He hoped the surroundings would force him to contemplate death, so that he might find some inspiration for his book. Suddenly, not far from him, a tomb cracked open, and out of it appeared Ahmad Pasha al-Manikali, the Minister of War from the reign of Muhammad Ali. The large, imposing pasha, naked underneath his burial shroud, demanded the writer's overcoat and tarboosh, and the odd pair set out on a madcap journey through Cairo — from its new, landscaped developments to its most labyrinthine government bureaucracies. Dead for fifty years, the pasha cannot help but observe how Cairo has changed — in some ways for the better, in most for the worse — as Muhammad al-Muwaylihi imagined in his epic What 'Isa ibn Hisham Told Us. Serialized in a Cairo newspaper at the turn of the twentieth century, the mordant classic has been recently published in two volumes by the Library of Arabic Literature, in Roger Allen's masterful translation, and is excerpted below in brief vignettes. Sentenced to death in the wake of the failed uprisings of 1882, the journalist and activist al-Muwaylihi was forced into exile for several years in Italy, Paris, Istanbul and London, before he was able to return to Cairo. He orbited a rare universe of revolutionaries and poets, Egyptian aristocrats and British imperialists—and their dialogues often made their way into his fictions. In the 1920s, the undead Pasha's commentary was adapted as a school textbook by Egypt's Ministry of Education, with some of its more controversial or grumpy passages left out.
The Pasha and 'Isa find themselves in the new, centrally planned Ismailiyah neighborhood. Catching sight of the mansions and villas, the resurrected minister is entranced by the orderly layout of the streets and the many newly planted trees.
Pasha: "All praise be to Almighty God, Glorious and Powerful! This district used to be in ruins; there were no houses or mansions in it. The only plant life was the barren acacia tree; the only flowers the tragacanth and sayal thorn; the only birds owls, crows, falcons and eagles. Of wild beasts there would have been foxes, wolves, hyenas, jackals, and lizards. The only humans would have been plundering brigands, murderers, or lurking cutthroats. What wonders the Egyptians have accomplished!"
The Pasha has barely been undead for an hour when he gets into a scuffle with an impertinent donkeyman. He is arrested for assault and taken to the police station.
'Isa: "We duly accompanied the Policeman until we reached the Register of Convictions and Substantiation of Identity. There the Pasha endured enough identity procedures to give anyone heart failure and turn his hair white. They stripped him of his clothes, examined him limb by limb, measured his face and body, stared into his eyes, and did all kinds of things to him."
The Pasha is shocked when he is sentenced to one and a half years in prison and a five-piaster fine. To try to overturn the conviction, the pair must visit the Court of Appeals and the Committee of Surveillance in the Ministry of Justice. Trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare, the curmudgeonly pasha proclaims:
"Lofty mountains must inevitably crumble when the whitefooted mountain goats are brought down. Graves must be split asunder and the trumpet be blown when all ideas of dignity have vanished and all values have been debased. The words of the Almighty have come true with regard to Egypt: And We have made its highest parts into its lowest parts."
The Pasha is eventually acquitted on charges of assault, but he has accrued enormous legal fees and realizes he has no cash to pay the bill. Since he was dead, all his wealth had been passed down to his descendants, and had swiftly been squandered away. As a last resort, the Pasha and 'Isa embark on a quest to reclaim the profits from old endowments that may still be in his name.
The pair find themselves at a newly built villa in the middle of a garden.
"It was bedecked with different kinds of flowers which looked like sapphires and other jewels. In the center was the mansion itself which looked like a white pearl or the full moon among the stars in the sky:
As though it were a neck, and its garden around it
a beautifully arranged necklace.
What can we say about a garden so decorously woven by the earth's hand for the day of its festive decoration: a place garlanded in a cloak through which to relish its own radiant beauty?
It is clothed in a garment made by downpour and dew;
needlework, though not real, and striped cloth, though not such.
In its wafting breezes, girls could dispense with the scent of musk…"
The Pasha is astonished to learn that the owner of the house is utterly bankrupt. They watch as the servants turn away a pharmacist, a wine seller, a butcher, a tailor, a shoemaker, a jeweler, one after another, all coming to collect their debts at the front door.
"We observed the scene in amazement. Contrasting the beauty of the place with the misfortunes of its inhabitants, we felt we were being roasted and turned on the embers of our own worries."
The Pasha and 'Isa end up in front of a brand-new hotel.
"The Pasha turned toward that great hotel, a veritable al-Khawarnak and al-Sadir, and noticed the electric lights gleaming brightly like rising suns, so much so that darkest night shone in white raiment and its surface seemed like ebony embossed with silver. The street lamps resembled tree branches glowing with light… Each pillar seemed like a ray of dawn piercing the cavity of darkness—and what a piercing it was! In the pitch darkness the lights were like stars scattered throughout the dome of the firmament. Beneath these lights the Pasha could see rows of men mingling freely with women."
"Has some house opened its rooms so that anyone can see what's inside?" the Pasha asks in amazement. "Or is it perhaps a festival night for a group of demons who are socializing with human beings like tame animals? They've forsaken the earth's interior for its surface, its belly for its lap."
"Yes," Isa replies, "these people are devils in human form. They traverse land and sea, cut through hard and rugged earth, and fly in the heavens. They can walk on water, penetrate through mountains, and pulverize mountain peaks, turning hills into lowlands, leveling mounds, making deserts into seas, and changing seas into steam. They make people in the East listen to sounds made by people in the West, and vice versa. They can bring down the remotest stars for you to see, magnify the tiniest spider into a mountain, freeze the air, melt stones, start gales…."
"You're describing Solomon's jinn living in this era!" the Pasha remarks.
"They're European officials," Isa replies.
The Pasha and 'Isa pass through Opera Square, and the undead minister is horrified to see the statue of Ibrahim Pasha in a place of such ill-repute.
"He stared at it for a moment and then stood to attention out of respect. 'Hail to Ibrahim!' he said, quivering and shaking all over. He gave a bitter, sorrowful sigh and almost burst into tears. 'Why so sad?' I asked him. 'Are you nostalgic for times past with all their happy and bitter moments…?'
'How can I not shed tears of sorrow?' the Pasha responded, 'and express my profound grief when I see before me this hero of Egypt… who waded through the floods of tumultuous war and swept them clean:
In every pore of his body where a hair grew,
there was a lion stretching out its claws towards the prey."
To attempt to locate the deeds to his endowments, the Pasha and 'Isa pay a visit to the Record Office of the Sharia Courts.
"The darkness was so intense that it reminded the Pasha of the grave which he had only just left, and so he turned back and decided to wait for us in the daylight outside…. I could not see where I was going and stopped where I was. The Assistant grabbed me by the hand. I had no idea where I was going in this terrifying and dangerous place. I kept feeling something under my feet that crunched and sagged like chaff trodden into the soil."
'Isa trips over something and falls onto a pile of moth-eaten scrolls. Something cries out. It's the record clerk, dutifully at work among the heaps of title deeds. 'Isa pulls himself together and recites a verse to himself:
"A gloom in which everything is alike
and people's sex is unknown until they shout."
The Assistant informs the writer that the Record Clerks are accustomed to working without any light; like bats, they can see in complete darkness.
'Isa: "This is the way things were between the Pasha and me. Every time I showed him something with which he had not been familiar in his own lifetime and had never encountered before, he would object and turn away, showing me as he did so things that I had not previously noticed and making me aware of the evil underpinnings that lurk beneath the surface cover of habit and are shrouded by the veil of familiarity and acceptance.… Eventually our routine involved an invitation to a wedding. Accepting the offer we hastened to the location after sunset and discovered two policemen guarding the door. They kept shouting and shoving people away to stop them getting inside. The Pasha pulled me aside."
Pasha: "Wait a minute, my friend! Are you sure you haven't gone the wrong way….? Unless that is, you plan to go the police station with me again, and through the entire court system…."
When 'Isa explains that policemen are hired at important weddings to keep people out, the Pasha is appalled. He exclaims that in his day, weddings were for everyone to attend. "Poor and indigent people were never excluded. People would spread out tablecloths for them; they would eat and drink and then watch the amazing games that were put on for the occasion: horse races, displays of horsemanship, wrestling, and sword drills…"
'Isa to Himself: "Good heavens, I told myself, now we're finding things to grumble about even at weddings."
At the wedding, they chat with a guest called "Suave Friend," and observe some government officials mingling in their natural habitat.
Suave Friend: "May God bolster you! Today our government officials have such a low opinion of themselves and are so scared to reveal their sentiments in public that they make every effort to cover it all up with boasts and displays of pride. They fabricate phony illusions of conceit and arrogance and go to enormous lengths to enhance their dignity in the way they walk and make their image that much more daunting in the way they sit. Some of them even take lessons in front of a mirror on bodily movements that they like and spend some time perfecting them."
Soon it is time for dinner and the Pasha is horrified by the chaos, the crush, and the crowds.
"This was no conquest such as al-Mu'tasim at the Battle of Amorium, or Muhammad the Conquerer at Constantinople," 'Isa narrates. "People crowded around like the chaste receiving gifts and devout going to prayer; they were standing close to the tables like sufferers from drought who have just found lush pasture. The Pasha was on the point of going back."
Pasha: "Good grief, what an insult! Have things with the wedding host now reached the point that he makes people go into the scullery to eat, and on the run at that?"
A wedding guest chimes in:
Friend: "It's not the scullery…. People can choose the things that suit their fancy and satisfy their tastes. They call it a 'buffet.'"

The Only Hope For the World
by populist	 02 Apr 2006
The world has gotten itself into a real jam. I mean a humdinger of a jam! As in John Paul Sartre's existential drama, No Exit, which so nicely portrays the inescapability of self-chosen evil, the inevitability of a self-made Hell, there seems to be no way out for the world; no way for the inhabitants of planet Earth to escape what appears to be the inevitability of a hell of its own making… World War III!
Of course, as I tell my students.. the history of the world is the history of war, as armed conflict seems to have been a constant companion. From the beginning of time, it appears that we have "been at each other's throats." However, since that fateful day in 1945 when "Little Boy" gave us a glimpse of what was to come, things have never quite been the same. Before Hiroshima, the world was able to deal with man's inhumanity to man, but with the advent of modern nuclear (or in the words of George Walker Bush. "nucular") warfare, things have gone from bad to worse. No longer can we afford to dabble with our weapons of mass destruction. One more mistake, one more miscalculation, and the world will go up in flames!
George Walker Bush, the leader of the so-called free world, seems to have forced the world into an existential corner, one which leaves others with little choice but to roll over and "play dead" or else retaliate. Something like grabbing the world by its proverbial balls, and then slowly squeezing until it decides to either give up or fight back. It is this man, the one who touts "freedom and democracy for all," who has decreed that the world must play by his rules, and, for those who do not, well.. they will simply have to die. And, of course, that's the reason for the administration's formulated policy of pre-emptive war; to encourage the world to do exactly as it is told. There can be no doubt that the United States has become the biggest bully on the block, a true terrorist, the likes of which the world has never seen, an accomplishment for which our president seems to be extremely proud.
But given the Middle East's movement toward democracy, a deliberate denunciation of secular rule, a certain decision to root itself in the faith of its own people, the Islamic world has made it clear that it will no longer cow tow to George Bush. Similarly, the Western world seems to be moving back to its own roots. As can be seen in recent elections (Germany, Canada, and, of course, the United States), much of the western hemisphere (although not Venezuela or Cuba) seems to be increasingly aligning itself with the values of a post modern world, those that extol the virtues of capitalism, civil religion, sensuality, conspicuous consumption, and military dominance. No doubt a true clash of cultures, a war of wills, a cockfight with but one thing in mind; the absolute destruction of all who stand in the way!
With such contention, I see only one way out; a metamorphic leap of faith, an about face in the way we think, a decision to let go of everything that we, as a nation, once held dear, an understanding that the world will surely end unless we recognize the fact that we have no choice but to embrace our enemy as our brother, the one, without whom, we will never find peace, a brother-in-arms, enchained from head to toe, with whom we will either drown, or, together, might be allowed to live for yet another day.
The world has been taught that survival is king; that a people must do what they believe to be in their own best interests, what they believe is necessary in order to survive, with little, or no, regard for its effect upon others (as in the collateral damage, the death, of as many as 100,000 Iraqi citizens during the most recent war in Iraq). However, such an approach can no longer be considered an acceptable way of life in a world in which the life of one is so inseparably tied to that of another, a world in which the annihilation of one may well lead to the death of the other. Thus the need for a metamorphic leap of faith, a divinity founded upon that which we all have in common, our humanity, a presumption that each and everyone of us, as human beings, are sacred, a recognition that killing others, even those of the enemy, represents a failure of the human spirit, a miscalculation, a profound misunderstanding of why we have been "placed upon" the earth, an inability to understand that for the world to survive we must consider what is best for the entire human family, otherwise we will all perish.
When you get down to it, nations are not that much different from individuals. We all seemingly want what we want and to hell with everyone else. But the time for change has come. It has been said that we, as modern folks (as opposed to so-called primitives, aboriginals who have no need for nuclear bombs nor delight in the destruction of their environment), are civilized. That due to our advancement, the fact of how we have seemingly progressed, how we have become such an educated lot, we have become known as those of the so-called civilized world. However, if civilization means anything at all, it means to be civil, to be courteous, to be thoughtful and kind. It implies a willful concern for the needs of others. Essentially, the capacity to extend our will so that it might include that of others, a propitious incorporation of their need into that of our own, a conscious decision to ensure that the survival of one becomes the survival of the other, a transformation in the way we think, a sincere desire for peace, a state of harmony in which each works for the betterment of others.
Perhaps Jesus, as well as Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha), said it best when each proclaimed that we "should not do unto others that which we would not have them do unto us." Put another way, if we want to learn how to get along with others, it is absolutely essential that we be willing to place ourselves into that of our brother's shoes. That we ask ourselves how we might feel if our adversary were about to do to us that which we have been planning to do to him. And, of course, if having come to the conclusion that such a thing would be inappropriate, then, as a moral fellow (a moral nation that is), it would behoove us to act appropriately in regards to our brother (that of the other nation).
Alas, such is not the way of the world. Rather, it seems that according to our country's foreign policy- the way we have, in fact, chosen to deal with other nations of the world- we have been inclined to put ourselves first, to look at things from our own rather petty, no doubt provincial, and nearly always biased, point of view. Without exception, we have demonized our enemies, in the past Germany and Japan, most recently in Iraq, and now, of course, in regards to Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Venezuela, choosing to focus on their shortcomings, all in order to make it easier to kill them. if that is what our government decides to do. Conversely, there has been a perennial attempt to escape the fact of our own transgressions, a history of entangled complicity in that of other countries (60 years of Machiavellian manipulation in the Middle East), the overthrow of constitutional democracies, and egregious alignments with foreign dictators. Not to mention the rather arrogant presumption, on the part of so many in our nation, that the United States, having received the a priori blessing of God, has been assigned the divine responsibility of dictating to the rest of the world how it should be governed.
Clearly, such a world view is a recipe for disaster, a way of behaving that will lead to all that we most fear, our worst nightmare come true, an Armageddon of fire and doom, Dante's inferno having come to life… the natural end of a world having gone mad with power, greed, and ambition.
So, the next time you have a chance, listen to George Bush. Listen to Dick Cheney. Listen to Donald Rumsfeld. Listen to what they have to say, and how they say it. Look at how they position their bodies… so straight and tall. Pugnacious profiles. Self-righteous men, hardened to the core, and, no doubt, pious to a tee. Take a look at their faces; the smugness of their smile. And then.. never forget that power corrupts, and that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and that pride, without fail, always cometh before the fall!

AI to detect viruses in wastewater at smart lab being set up in Abu Dhabi
The facility will look for hazardous chemicals and infectious diseases to issue early warnings.
By Ayub Dawood June 20, 2021
Emirati cities are laying the groundwork for futuristic living with a welcoming approach towards modern tech including AI and online apps to enhance public infrastructure. The city has recently set up a facility to convert waste into energy, while its local body is relying on AI to monitor the drainage network for emergencies and to control water pressure.
As digital platforms and monitoring devices safeguarded Emiratis from an outbreak during the pandemic, wastewater was also being analysed to look for traces of covid-19, to ensure well being. Sticking to the same approach to steer clear of diseases in the future, the country is setting up an AI-powered lab in Abu Dhabi to look for bacteria and hazardous substances in the drainage system.
The wastewater monitoring unit will analyse samples from Emirati cities, to detect pathogen, fungus, pharmaceuticals and toxic waste, in addition to infectious diseases. This way it'll be able to warn authorities about the presence of viruses or the risk of an outbreak, so that timely action can be taken to prevent a healthcare emergency.
Launched in collaboration with health-tech firm G42, the facility will collect samples automatically, and AI will be used for analysing the data extracted from them. The first-of-its-kind lab in the Middle East, can also be used for spotting banned substances in wastewater flowing out of cities, so that authorities can take steps to crack down on the menace.
Over the past year, UAE has also displayed expertise in spotting infections among residents and travelers, thanks to thermal scanners, digitised medical records and tele-medicine.
Machine learning tools developed in the region are also enhancing healthcare for the future, by analysing the exact effect of drugs, for development of more effective pharmaceuticals.
As for waste management, Dubai also boasts of one of the world's largest facilities for recycling e-waste. Like the regional tech oasis, Abu Dhabi has also employed AI to process info that helps residents cut down on wastage of water and power.

First of all, I would recommend Virgin Media to anyone who can get it. BT has fantastic broadband coverage, however the old technology of copper wires means you get a watered down version of what your phone exchange can handle. This is of course if you live more than a stones throw away from the exchange. Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) with BT will help. With 40mb estimated being at least over 12mb when it actually arrives in the home/office, but it is still running the last mile or 2 via the copper line. Vigin Media (at great expense) run a fibre cable to the street, then coax cable to your house, so the line can handle as much as they can currently give us.
VM have just increased upload speed from 1.8mb to 5mb for free, with 50mb download soon to increase to 100mb for another £10 a month. Upload speed directly effects things like sending emails, uploading to websites, hosted solutions like our helpdesk, remote desktop and particularly useful when working with attachments on Outlook Web Access.
BT has fibre rolling out across east and south of Aylesbury, but Rabans Lane and most of the Industrial areas near Fairford Leys will suffer on with basic ADSL1 solutions as BT has had technical issues that side of town. It is without question in BT's best interest to focus their attentions at the home internet market, as they represent the same sort of monthly income, but unlike business clients, they can also cross sell them to phone and TV packages. How things have changed in 10 years!
Google TV looks like it is getting stone walled in the US, all the large networks are blocking the in built browser in the set top box to prohibit content being streamed via the internet. In the UK I had high hopes for Virgin Media getting on the band wagon, was certain that was why they sold channel rights to Sky a few months ago, but nope. They are in bed with TiVo and we will see great things from them in the near future.
Today I had the pleasure of setting up a box full of HTC Desires and Samsung Apollos. Client is replacing his vehicle tracking system with a bunch of Google powered latitude phones. Have to tip my hat, the solution the clients booking system & capabilities of these phones is going to be awesome. Specially when you think of how much money is spent on vehicle tracking these days. Lot of fun watching 13 little icons around my office all being tracked, felt like something out of a movie!
The Samsung Apollo was surprisingly good for a budget alternative. I liked it, felt good in the hand, typing was easy on the touch screen and it made sense. Would be a nice first android phone for someone looking to spend less than £20 a month.
Speaking of contract costs, T-Mobile just reduced the HTC Desire monthly contract to £25 from £30 on standard domestic contracts(600 min, 500 text unlimited internet and flex boosters). This is to account for the HTC Desire HD that launched yesterday.
HTC Desire HD is pushing beyond the 4? screen and even less battery life. When is too big too big, and when is too little battery no longer practical? welcome your feedback.

My Writings in the Academia
Tag: Palestine
Our Complicity Helps No One
I decided to write this post after a true sister encouraged me to do so in the hopes that our fellow Muslims and immigrants will become aware of how we all contribute to neo-colonialism and the oppression of others.
Living in Canada is a matter of internal struggle for me. On the one hand, I did not leave my country in a context of conflict, so I can't speak to those realities. On the other, the situation that my country faces today, and has experienced since I have any recognition, filled with violence, poverty and corruption is very much the result of its colonial history, imperialism and neoliberalism. All of these have been, at the very least, endorsed by Western powers, like Canada. Although there are many examples, one that is currently relevant to my work is the inclusion of Mexico in Canada's list of Safe Countries. This list negates the increased levels of violence, persecution and poverty that Mexican civilians face nowadays after the War on Drugs was launched.
As an immigrant, nonetheless, I contribute to a very particular reality. I reside in stolen land and I abide to settler laws. What is more, my very own status as an "immigrant" requires me to pledge "alliance" to Elizabeth II. No First Nations, Métis or Inuit group is considered to be "worthy" of this same right because, even though I reside in their lands, they are very much blurred from the fabric of the "Canadian nation."
A few weeks ago I attended Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), an event that raises awareness about Israel's occupation of Palestine as well as its human rights violations. The Palestinian cause is very close to my heart, as it is for many Indigenous peoples around the world. We empathize with the colonial aspect, we identify with the struggle, we understand the human rights violations and we see possibilities for resistance and collaboration with Palestinians. Thus, it is not surprising that these events are often filled with Indigenous activists from around the world. In fact, much of the rhetoric at these events focuses on words like "brother" and "sister" to create nation-to-nation solidarities. Although it is also important to note that some Indigenous peoples, particularly those in power positions, engage with Israel in very problematic ways.
The Palestinian issue also attracts a lot of Muslims (and some contention as well). The religious aspect is strongly emphasized as means of showing that our brotherhoods and sisterhoods in Islam are more than tokenistic words. In fact, my own experience as a convert has showed me that one of the very first pieces of information we receive in mosques is that of the Palestinian struggle. It is one of the only times I have heard the term "colonialism" being used in a mosque. Palestine unites Muslims in a way that not many other causes do…
Via Postcards from Palestine.
The point is that we share spaces as Muslims, Palestinians and Indigenous peoples, but beyond the Palestinian struggle, we seldom work together. Or rather, the solidarity goes one way.
Last year I attended a discussion on violence against women in Ottawa. Whereas the discussion was more of a presentation by academics and NGOs than an actual discussion, one of the questions put forward to the public was that of inter-group collaboration to address violence against women in Canada. Not surprisingly, two First Nations women, the only ones at the 50 people discussion, spoke about the missing and murdered Indigenous women who have been largely neglected by the government and mainstream society. At that point, these two women emphasized that without support from other communities of women, the situation will just continue to worsen. A woman representing a Muslim organization made a point of saying that Muslim women in Canada have their own problems, which does not allow them to engage with First Nations women.
I froze. I was not only at odds with this Muslim women's position, but I was actually quite offended. What do you mean you have your own problems? Don't we all? Suddenly, I perceived an identity clash between being a Muslim, an Indigenous woman and an immigrant. Hence, as the discussion ended, I approached the First Nations representatives to ask them about the kind of support that they were hoping to gather from Muslim women.
The woman looked at me and painfully said, "I would not want to say this… but the reality of things is that every time we have asked for Muslim support we are slapped with a no. We have been there to oppose Islamophobic laws and policies; we have been there to defend their right to wear veils; we have been there to protest the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria, etc.; we have been there… They are in our lands; yet, we have gotten very little support back."
At the heart of this statement was the unwillingness of many Muslim organizations to collaborate or to even inform themselves about the situation of Indigenous women in Canada. However, I believe that it goes deeper than that.
Even among our own Muslim communities we rarely discuss colonialism in Canada or the status of Indigenous peoples in here. In fact, we dread having conversations that may show Canada in a negative light. Such an attitude poses, in my view, an oxymoron. We complain about Islamophobia, racial profiling and discrimination. Yet, we are oblivious to the fact that these three things are very much an extension of a system that has been oppressing Indigenous peoples for centuries. We want Canadians to understand that we are not connected to terrorism in any way, shape or form. Nonetheless, we turn away from having conversations about the criminalization of Indigenous peoples. We are surprised when we face racism and discrimination, but we think it is "normal" for Indigenous peoples to be excluded.
As Muslims and as immigrants we are perpetrators of oppression.
Some of us will go so far as to uphold stereotypes against Indigenous peoples (i.e. lazy, drunk, poor) and to believe that we are "superior" because we have jobs and a nice home to go to. However, for the most part, our complicity is more settled. We just don't ever want to question or to even think about it. We just assume that we are righteously in this land and that our Canadian passports, permanent resident cards and visas "certify" us as righteous settlers (this may change with bill c-24).
But is it? How is it that we can be so empathetic towards the Palestinian cause in speech, but we never question the Canadian settler state? How is it that we wear the keffiyeh but never wonder about whose land we are occupying and the processes that brought us here?
In the conversation that I had with my friend we speculated about what it would take for Muslims and immigrants to stand against oppression? As she noted, the only people who are able to "tell it like it is" are Indigenous activists who are beyond "politeness" and "political correctness." The fact that many Indigenous peoples have nothing left to lose pushes them to be critical and to resist. Is that the point that Muslims and immigrants need to reach before they take a stand against oppression and their own complicity in the conditions that Indigenous peoples face in Canada?

First let's define a "computer program" as follows..
A finite list of instructions (picked from a finite instructions set).
A finite way to specify the initial starting condition.
Notice that the above definition is quite general. It's independent of programming language, instruction set and hardware.
The case of finite output is trivial because the output could be used as an initial starting condition for a simple read/write program. So the only "non-trivial" programs are those with infinite output. An example is a recursive program such as a fractal generator.
Recursive programs use their output as input. They are an interesting subset of programs. They can have very few instructions, but produce complex infinite output.
Now, with the the above definition, let P be the set of all computer programs. Then we can ask questions about P that directly relate to mathematics and number theory, such as..
Can we define a binary operation on P?
Does P contain a member who's output is the list of prime numbers?
Does P contain a member who's output is the digits of pi?
I think most mathematicians would answer these questions with a definite "no". But can this be proved? And what does a proof look like? Of course, if the answer is "yes" then we have a very interesting situation!
