As a nine-year-old, Kumud witnessed the brutal and horrifying suttee ritual when her beloved aunt immolated herself on the burning pyre of her dead husband. Years later, Kumud summoned the courage to escape the isolated and primitive town of her youth to start a new life in Ambayu, a metropolitan city. She began as office help at Save Girls Soul Orphanage Center and progressed to become its director. At SGSO Center, she becomes a warrior for women's education and equal rights. She teaches young women to protect themselves from outmoded practices and rituals that victimize women.
Then a phone call informs Kumud that the suttee of a sixteen-year-old is inevitable. She has vowed that she will never let it happen again. Still haunted by her aunt's suttee, she leaves everything behind, including her love, Shekhar Roy, to end the barbaric custom that scarred her for life, and to save the young bride from committing suttee.
As Kumud travels back to the town of her youth, long-buried memories resurface and force her to remember the life from which she fled. The town that greets her is full of contradictions. It has electricity and clean water, and a new school is open to low castes, yet superstition and prejudice abound. How can she convince the town that their centuries-old tradition is cruel and barbaric, that a widowed young woman deserves the right to live? Can she change the minds of the townspeople and the Five Elders before it's too late?
An author, artist, world-traveler and the founder of the Mindful Writers Group, Madhu Bazaz Wangu was a professor of arts and religions of India before becoming a full time writer. She has a doctorate in the Phenomenology of Religions from the University of Pittsburgh and a post-doctoral fellowship from the Harvard University. For twenty-five years, she taught at the University of Pittsburgh and Chatham College in Pennsylvania, Wellesley and Wheaton Colleges in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island College.
In 1997, Dr. Wangu voyaged around the world with students and faculty members from various American Universities for the Semester-at-Sea program. She loved the experience so much that each year she has been revisiting places of historical significance in different countries, observing the cultures, meeting the people and enjoying their cuisine.
In 2010, she founded the Mindful Writers Group, and in 2015 started a second one. She encourages writers of all levels and genres to delve deeper in their work by body-mind-heart meditation. Her CD, Meditations for Mindful Writers was released in 2011. She guides writers in meditation and writing marathons. Twice each year, Mindful Writers Groups gather for writing retreats. There, surrounded by nature, they practice sitting and walking meditations in-between long writing sessions.
Madhu B. Wangu has published numerous essays and four books on Hindu and Buddhist goddesses and Indian religions. She has held five one-person art exhibitions in India and US. Her collection, Chance Meetings: Stories About Cross-Cultural Collisions and Compassion, was published in 2015 and her debut novel, The Immigrant Wife: Her Spiritual Journey, in 2016. Currently, she is writing her second novel, The Last Suttee and a guidebook for mindful writing.
On the morning of September 5, 1987, I was going through the Hillman Library card catalogue at the University of Pittsburgh when a friend stopped by. She told me something I would never forget. She said that an eighteen-year-old Indian woman, named Roop Kanwar, had immolated herself on the pyre of her dead husband. I was dumbfounded. Suttee in the twentieth century? It couldn't be. But The New York Times confirmed the news. The ritual, known as suttee, was witnessed by the townspeople and thousands more came to see it from nearby villages and towns. When the news was leaked the following day, the town was swarmed for days by Indian and international journalists. I was stunned and speechless, my legs laden with lead. At that frozen moment, the seed for this book was planted.
The kernel stayed dormant, but the incident continued to sear like a wound at the back of my mind. The distress was raw, but I was not yet emotionally ready to write about what had happened and how it had affected me. In the ensuing years, I trawled libraries, bookstores, and the Internet, learning about the history of suttee and the cultural and religious traditions in which it is rooted. I studied records of the shrines dedicated to women who had committed suttee. I read the history and mythology of the namesake goddess, spelled Sati. Critically and carefully I analyzed the photographs of Sati temples and studied the engravings, drawings, and paintings of the goddess Sati and the suttee ritual that had been made by British, European, and Indian artists and travelers.
Suttee is a centuries-old Hindu ritual. This ancient belief still persists in some remote corners in India. The belief is if a widow cremates herself with her dead husband, the couple will live in heaven as they did on earth. Furthermore, such a sacrifice guarantees a place in heaven for seven generations for both sides of the family.
Goddess Sati is the daughter of the high priest Daksha. Shiva, the world renouncer, is so awed by her yogic skills and asceticism that he grants her a boon. Sati asks to marry him. He agrees. Daksha dislikes Shiva. He finds Shiva unconventional and unkempt. Despite her father's opposition Sati marries Shiva and they live in his mountain abode in Himalayas.
Daksha plans a great sacrifice. He invites all the important divine beings, except Shiva. Sati feels disgraced by the way in which her father has treated her husband. On the day of the great sacrifice, she throws herself in the fire pit meant for the sacrifice. And burns herself to death. When Shiva discovers what has happened to his wife, he is outraged. He pulls out Sati's half-burnt body, holds it on his shoulders, and in anguish and lamentations whirls around the world.
Goddess Sita is an ideal Hindu wife. Her husband, Rama, is the center of her life. His welfare, reputation, and wishes are most important to her. One day, the demon king Ravana abducts her and takes her to his golden palace. He lies to her that he has killed Rama. Sita is horrified. She moans and tells him that it must have been her fault that her husband was killed. She warns Ravana she could burn him to ashes with the fire of her chastity, but she won't because she did not have her husband's permission.
In the end, Rama defeats Ravana and brings Sita home. There he severely tests her loyalty because she has spent days under the control of another man. Sita is shocked at such an accusation. She protests her innocence. She says she has remained wholly devoted and completely faithful to him. Rama persists.
Grieved by his false accusation, Sita asks for a funeral pyre to prove her innocence. A pyre is built, and Sita stands atop it with hands folded. Agni, the god of fire, refuses to harm her because she is innocent and pure. She returns to Rama unscathed. Yet he banishes her to a forest.
Sati and Sita are faithful and chaste wives, and they are devoted to their husbands. The lives of these goddesses are defined by their husbands. Although their dedication and chastity are exemplary, they pay a heavy price for being wives. In both myths, fire plays an important role. Whereas Sati voluntarily kills herself, Sita is saved by Agni. Their god/husbands are alive when the women jump into the sacrificial pit or on the funeral pyre. But ordinary women's lives are no myths. When a woman is forced into being a suttee, neither her husband nor the god of fire will save her.
The suttee ritual was outlawed by British Raj in 1829. The ritual was described as "heinous rite" when cases surfaced about widows being tied to their husband's pyre even after being intoxicated with bhang or opium. Many reports of widows escaping and being rescued by strangers were also recorded. Still, more than a century later, scattered instances of the custom have been reported, such as Savitri Soni's in 1973 and Charan Shah's in 1999.
The most notorious and controversial case, however, was of Roop Kanwar. Indian people either publicly defended Roop's action or declared that she had been murdered. Following the outcry that followed Roop Kanwar's suttee, the government of India enacted the Rajasthan Sati Prevention Ordinance on October 1, 1987. The law makes it not only illegal to commit suttee but also illegal to glorify the ritual or coerce a woman to commit suttee. Glorification includes erecting a shrine to honor the dead woman or converting the place where immolation took place into a pilgrimage site. Derivation of any income from such activities is also banned. The law makes no distinction between a passive observer and an active promoter. Everyone is held equally guilty.
The seed for writing a book inspired by Roop Kanwar's suttee finally sprouted in November 2009, when I wrote its first draft as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), a nonprofit internet organization that supports writers in an effort to complete the initial draft of a novel in one month.
It would take me seven more years to finalize the draft.
The story continued to incubate. I developed the characters, sketched the settings, wrote the narrative and dialogue. But to birth a healthy novel and bring it to life, I had to experience the environment in which Roop Kanwar was born, lived, and died. I needed to converse with the people who allowed it to happen. I wanted to know the antagonist and protagonist's viewpoints.
I visited India for a month in 2013 for that purpose. I went to the small towns of Deorala, where Roop Kanwar committed suttee, and Jhunjhunu, home of an imposing marble temple dedicated to faithful women who sacrifice their young lives immediately after their husbands' deaths. The visit stirred feelings of remorse and wonder. Why did people celebrate sacrificial death? How does blind faith hide behind the stunning structure? Domestic and temple architecture, middle and high schools, ancient mansions with bedroom walls made of mirror-mosaics (some now converted to five-star hotels) were breathtakingly beautiful. The local flora and fauna were intriguing, and men and women's attire colorful. I fell in love with the place. But I wasn't there as a tourist. I was there to fulfill a quest, to do something about an event that jolted the core of my being.
Meeting with the people of Deorala opened my mind to the fact that a community's worldview can be so different from my own. Yet my sorrow and awe about Roop Kanwar and my feelings about other widows like her were not alleviated by talking to Roop's father-in-law, her brother-in-law and his wife, or their neighbors. Nor did I blame them after visiting her neglected and unkempt suttee site. However, the visit helped me better understand the point of view of the town residents. A magnificent temple dedicated to the goddess Sati, which locals honor and regard highly, further clarified their worldview.
My interview with Roop Kanwar's father-in-law took place in the verandah outside the room where Roop lived with her husband. This was the room where she dressed herself in bridal attire and decked herself in jewelry before following her husband's dead body to the cremation site. The room has been turned into a shrine, and Roop has become an ishtadevi, a manifestation of Narayani Satimata, a local goddess higher in the pantheon of the thousands of village goddesses of India.
When I asked to go to where Roop performed suttee, her father-in-law declined to walk along, but he did ask other men to take me there. I treaded the path that evidently Roop Kanwar, most probably intoxicated with bhang, walked with the help of two women. They followed her husband's litter, which four male relatives carried. I was told a lamenting crowd of men, women, and children followed the dead body and Roop as they headed toward her husband's funeral pyre.
Facing the desolate ground where the ritual had taken place twenty-six years earlier, I shed tears of pain for an eighteen-year-old who didn't know better, and who no one came to rescue.
The characters in this novel are fictional, but the setting is historic. Writing it does not feel like redemption, for I still ache for the women of the world who are engulfed in outmoded traditions, who are uneducated and dependent. Women with so much potential to offer their families, their communities, and, most importantly, to themselves.
Undoubtedly, the world over, women have made tremendous progress. Yet, the path to elevating women's social status has many roadblocks, and the process is slow. I sincerely hope The Last Suttee not only helps remove a block or two but also adds substance to the process of change.
I'm glad I read this one. All of her books have been good.
What a pleasure to go on a cyber book tour with you and your wonderful reviewers. Looking forward to stopping by at each website and greeting its readers!
Stories that relate tales from other cultures, whether real or fictionalized, have always been most interesting to me. I've not yet read this one.
I would love to see female genital mutilation stopped. I realize it's a complicated issue, but I can't imagine it's beneficial to any woman.
I agree with another poster about outlawing female genital mutilation. This is a sick practice.
Thank you so much, Sharon for a memorable book tour of The Last Suttee!

Quotations about martyr
The principle is surely not new in the world: everyone ought to know by this time that a mountebank, thinking only of tomorrow's cakes, is far safer with power in his hands than a prophet and martyr, his eyes fixed frantically upon the rewards beyond the grave.

Rebels and dissidents challenge the complacent belief in a just world, and, as the theory would predict, they are usually denigrated for their efforts.

All the martyrs in the history of the world are not sufficient to establish the correctness of an opinion.

Ingredients supplier Bakels is launching a range of healthy products, including an Omega 3 patent-pending paste, which it says is unique on the market.
Following the success of its Low GI bread mix, currently selling the equivalent of one million 800g loaves a month, MD Paul Morrow said the company was building its added-value health range.He told British Baker that Nutro-mega is a relatively 'cheap' and 'effective way' of adding Omega 3 marine oil to bakery products, costing around 7p to add 2% to a 400g loaf of bread. Bakers using the mix at the recommeded percentage can legally claim a two to three-slice portion "helps maintain a healthy heart".The launch is part of a series of new healthy bread products from Bakels. Legally Low, a powdered improver, which is low in salt, sugar and fat, has been developed and is aimed particularly at public institutions. "If bakers use this product then they can legally claim that goods are low in sodium, sugar, fat and saturated fat," said Morrow.Other new products include Oat Mix, enriched with beta glucan, and a Country Oven Low Gi pre-mix, which is baked in trays and then made into slices, with a GI rating in the mid-30s. Morrow added: "If products taste good and have added health benefits, it gives bakers an opportunity to increase their margins."

Top 10 Anime like Dragon Ball Super to watch until it's back!
Shantanu
The best of the best is here. Yes, we are talking about Dragon ball super. This franchise has given many anime fans the best moments to remember during their childhood. And even now with new movies and series, it's doing the same. But unfortunately, after the tournament of power arc Dragon ball super is on a halt. So we thought why not bring our reader some Anime like Dragon Ball Super to binge on while waiting for its new arc. Here are the Top 10 Anime like Dragon Ball Super to watch until it's back!
Have a good read, and don't forget to check our other latest articles on the latest Anime & Manga developments.
1 Top 10 Anime like Dragon Ball Super:
1.1 10. Yu Yu Hakusho:
1.2 9. Inuyasha:
1.3 8. Sword Art Online:
1.4 7. My Hero Academia:
1.5 6. The Seven Deadly Sins:
1.6 5. Fairy Tail:
1.7 4. One-Punch Man:
1.8 3. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
1.9 2. One Piece:
1.10 1. Naruto:
Top 10 Anime like Dragon Ball Super:
10. Yu Yu Hakusho:
You'll enjoy Yu Yu Hakusho if you enjoyed anything from the original Dragon Ball series to Dragon Ball Super. Both are classic shounen series with supernatural aspects that you must watch. Yusuke was a young man who passed away far too soon. He is given a second chance at life, but only if he becomes a spirit world detective.
9. Inuyasha:
It's difficult for a series to perfectly mix present perspectives with stories set in the distant past, but this shonen anime does just that! Set in Japan's Warring States Period, the drama follows Kagome Higurashi, a high school girl who travels back in time and meets the half-demon Inuyasha. The majority of the series follows the two as they search for fragments of a shattered mystic jewel across feudal Japan's demon-infested countryside.
There's something for everyone in this blend of action, fantasy, horror, and romance. The search for shards of a mysterious artifact. On the other hand, will be most known to anime viewers whose favorite show revolves around the hunt for seven Dragon Balls.
8. Sword Art Online:
Because Sword Art Online is set in an online virtual reality game world, all of the powers that characters in a fantasy action series would have belonged to their avatars in the game's realm. Every player, however, is locked in the game's environment, and they live every day as their powerful in-game avatars.
The dire struggle for survival in this series is more dramatic than in Dragon Ball Z, yet both anime emphasizes the importance of forming teams of experienced fighters to deal with dangers. Dragon Ball fans will recognize many of the SOAs from the stories.
7. My Hero Academia:
The heroes of Dragon Ball Z use their incredible martial arts and ki skills to safeguard the planet from enemies. The Z Fighters, like the villains, have their uniforms.
My Hero Academia is by far the most popular and almost similar superhero anime in terms of characters and action.
The villains are ridiculously over-the-top, the combat sequences are spectacular, and there are plenty of spiky tips in the hair. While it is distinct in its own right and takes a unique approach to superpowers, most Dragon Ball Z fans will enjoy MHA.
6. The Seven Deadly Sins:
We appreciate that Dragon Ball Super is a battle anime with well-developed characters. The Seven Deadly Sins is a good choice if you want a story with greater personality diversity and a mix of fight and character-driven drama.
Elizabeth is a young princess who is trying to preserve her kingdom by enlisting the help of the famous Seven Deadly Sins, and she has finally discovered one in the form of Meliodas. Together, they set out to reassemble the group and assist her in saving her land.
5. Fairy Tail:
The series' name comes from the quest for the legendary Dragon Balls. The mystical dragon Shenron is called and grants one wish when all seven Dragon Balls are collected.
The characters in the fantasy series Fairy Tail travel through Earth-land in quest of the dragon Igneel. Beyond this resemblance, the characters in this series exhibit much of the same classic shonen fighting tactics and humor as those in Dragon Ball Z, as well as a stunning way of dealing with power creep as the characters grow stronger.
4. One-Punch Man:
There are three major things to remember about Dragon Ball Super: Everyone has massive muscles, tremendous abilities, and the fights are crazy. Most people who watch Super appreciate it for those reasons.
Thus One Punch Man is your best bet if you're looking for another popular program in the same style. Saitama has been training to be a hero for years, to the point that he has not only lost his hair but has also become extraordinarily powerful. The show features thrilling battles with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure!
3. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Whatever else there is to say, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has earned the middle word in its title. That is, however, one of the reasons why it works so well. Its characters, combat scenes, and art are all fantastic, and it manages to stay unique.
No anime will ever be able to match Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super in terms of martial arts ki attacks, therefore Jojo's takes a different approach. It delivers the same type of superpowered action that fans will adore, but in a completely new way, by incorporating psychic and spiritual manifestations into the battle sequences.
2. One Piece:
If you're up for a long journey, which you should be if you've watched any of the Dragon Ball series, One Piece should be your next major adventure! It's one of the longest anime and manga series out now, and it contains a fun-loving protagonist and loads of comedy. Follow Monkey D. Luffy and his gang on their quest to become the Pirate King! There are a lot of great action moments, well-crafted arcs, and fantastic character development.
1. Naruto:
And at the Number 1 position of Top 10 Anime like Dragon Ball Super, we have Naruto. It tells the narrative of the ninja hero, who is possessed by the spirit of the famous Nine-Tailed Fox. While it appears to be extremely different from Dragon Ball Z on the surface, the two anime share several similarities, including huge action scenes, aesthetically dazzling energy strikes, and spiky-haired heroes who wear orange and never stop eating.
What makes Naruto such a brilliant series, aside from the martial arts fantasy, is that its protagonist is earnest, a touch naive, and driven to conquer huge obstacles—qualities that he shares with Son Goku.
That is all from the Top 10 Anime like Naruto. Hope you liked it. you can catch all these amazing anime on either Crunchyroll or Funimation.

Roll out the vaccine, roll up your sleeves – Karen's story
21st July 2021 (last updated 21st July 2021)
The Somerset vaccination programme has now delivered over 754,000 vaccinations (as of 11 July 2021) to people across our county. It has been a huge effort, with a small army of people from the NHS, from GP surgeries, from Somerset County Council, and the voluntary sector, working in a wide variety of roles to make this possible.
Our director of commercial development, Karen Prosser, is one of those who has been at the heart of the programme. She stepped into the role of programme director for the Somerset COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, having been immersed in all things vaccination since the start of the programme. Karen has since returned to her usual role with us, but before she did, she reflected on her work in the vaccination programme in her own words:
"For everybody the last year has been very different, but for me it has been an experience I could never have imagined! My usual job is to lead commercial and partnership contracts, managing things like the M&S shop and café at Musgrove Park Hospital as well as developing partnerships and commercial agreements such as the new diagnostics centre with Rutherford Health.
"However in November, along with a number of colleagues, I was asked if I would help set up what we needed to do across Somerset for the vaccination programme we knew was coming. I was a bit worried about how I could do this alongside my normal job but agreed I would work 4 days a week on it. How optimistic I was!
"As we have all seen, this has become the most complex national programme that has ever been undertaken, but also one of our greatest national successes. It needed everyone across all the Somerset health and care organisations to pull together to make sure we could protect the most vulnerable people within our communities, as well as enable us to begin to move back towards how we used to live.
"To achieve the speed of roll-out and coverage that was demanded, the Somerset COVID-19 Vaccination Programme needed a number of different ways that people could get a vaccination, across a diverse range of locations. Together we have delivered vaccinations from:
Vaccination hubs across Somerset run by groups of GPs who already work together in Primary Care Networks providing services across an area
Two county vaccination centres located at Taunton Racecourse and the Bath & West Showground
Two hospital hubs at Yeovil District Hospital and Musgrove Park Hospital which have been mostly focused on vaccinating health and care colleagues across the county
Community pharmacies in Taunton, Yeovil and Bruton, Burnham-on-Sea and Minehead.
Roving teams made up of GPs, colleagues from Somerset FT and other organisations, such as Festival Medics who normally provide services at Glastonbury Festival. These teams have been going to care homes and people who are housebound, as well as those we knew may not get the vaccination if we didn't go to them, such as the homeless and people with mental health problems.
"All of these locations have only been able to run with the support of a wide range of people, including all the GPs and those working within GP practices across the whole county, colleagues from Somerset FT and Somerset Clinical Commissioners Group, Somerset County and District Councils, as well as an army of volunteers drawn together by the wonderful Spark Somerset, who have been so important in corralling the numerous volunteers across the county to support the differing needs of each vaccination site. Everyone has worked so hard to make sure we can do this as fast and safely as possible.
"The logistics behind the scenes to deliver vaccinations were very complex. Together we have delivered two different types of vaccination. Pfizer was the first one approved, but needed to be kept at incredibly low temperatures and could not be moved once it had been delivered. This made it impossible to provide Pfizer jabs to anything other than GP and hospital hub sites. Introduction of the "Oxford" AstraZeneca vaccine made things much more straightforward, as it could be stored in fridges and more easily moved; that meant the "roving teams" could start to support wider delivery.
"The logistics of getting vaccines delivered to each of the sites across the country has not been easy and has caused a lot of issues for everyone, particularly the GP hubs who have dealt with short notice of vaccine deliveries. However, with the dedication of all involved, they have just got on with it and, however difficult, done what was needed.
"As is the case on many complicated programmes, there is a lot that goes on in the background that no one really knows about, and this is definitely the case with the vaccination programme. So, whilst we have many people on the frontline providing vaccinations, in each of our sites we have many more making sure we have appropriate and safe facilities, arranging security, marshalling and ensuring safe passage of traffic, as well as making sure bacon sandwiches were available on those cold winter mornings!
"All of this requires organisation, which has been what I have been focused on - from making sure the agreements for the two major vaccination sites were acceptable, to working with other colleagues to provide each of the sites with the services they needed, like cleaning and waste disposal, while making sure the support of Spark Somerset was in place, to co-ordinate the volunteers and work with our Somerset FT recruitment team, so that we could swiftly bring on board the hundreds of extra people we needed to make this programme work.
"All of us involved in this programme have been deeply touched by the huge emotion we see when people receive their jabs - from the 100 year old lady who had not been out of her house for six months and dressed up in her finest clothes to come to the Taunton racecourse, to the care workers who just wanted to get back to work.
"Tears have been shed, tears of sheer happiness and gratitude, with many of my colleagues reporting that this is the best thing they have ever done.
"Everyone has worked tirelessly to make sure that we delivered as many vaccines as we could. With such an important programme that has to meet nationally agreed deadlines, there's a lot of reporting required to make sure that each week, we inform both national teams and the leaders across the health and care organisations as to how we are doing. In Somerset, working together as one, we have absolutely excelled, with national figures often showing we are leading the country in the speed at which we're providing vaccinations to the most vulnerable.
"Thank you to anyone who has been involved in supporting the programme. I have worked on many large complex health projects across several continents, but I have never done anything so difficult but so rewarding. I'm proud that I've played a small part in what we have achieved, but more importantly, I am proud of, and grateful to, every single person who has been involved."

On International Labour Day, workers remain under lockdown racked with uncertainty caused by Covid-19 pandemic
Labour right activists say the government has failed to assure workers' safety and employment even if they have been languishing at home and abroad for a long time now.

Chandan Kumar Mandal
This year's International Labour Day was a quiet affair. There were no rallies, no sloganeerings and no formal events to mark the day, as the entire country has remained under a lockdown since March 24.
The day was particularly sombre as hundreds of thousands of Nepali workers both within the country and abroad had been without jobs for more than a month and many salaried workers left without pay or furloughed by their employers due to the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Nepal's labour force has been hit hard by the crisis, which has halted all economic activities and shut down businesses, according to labour rights activists.
Amid fear and uncertainty of job losses and pay cuts, various labour rights groups and trade unions issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 131st International Labour Day to call on the government to ensure the safety of workers.
"The government is requested to ensure all the rights of workers protected by national and international conventions during the time of pandemic and crisis, including workers' rights of receiving their salaries and safety of their lives," read the statement issued by Joint Trade Union Coordination Center and National Network for Safe Migration.
Krishna Prasad Neupane, a lawyer and general secretary of the National Network for Safe Migration, said Nepali workers at home and abroad were living in the fear of either losing their jobs or coronavirus infection, but the government had failed to take the steps to allay their concerns.
"Tens of thousands of Nepali workers might return home anytime since labour destination countries are also creating pressures to take back their nationals. Also, workers have the right to return home," Neupane told the Post. "But the government has failed to even come up with a message assurance to these workers."
The International Labour Day could have been a perfect day for the government to honour the workers' rights by coming up with the detailed plan of safely repatriating the Nepali workers stranded in various labour destination countries, Neupane said.
"Instead, the government, which came to power with the votes of the poor, the working class and farmers, is busy in petty political games. It has displayed ignorance on the plights of the workers."Since the government-imposed nationwide lockdown, thousands of workers have been left without means of income to feed their families.
Many people who were surviving as daily wage workers in cities like Kathmandu have been forced to walk to their hometowns and villages as they were unable to buy food and pay rents without jobs. Janak Chaudhary, general secretary of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions, a workers' organisation close to the ruling Nepal Communist Party, said the plight of the low-income workers was further exacerbated by their employers.
"Their employers did not communicate about the impending crisis in time, nor did they pay attention to the government's advisory. They risked the workers' lives by putting them to work till the lockdown was finally enforced," Chaudhary claimed. "Many workers had to walk to their home districts because their employers did not pay them and relief packages could not reach them due to mismanagement in relief distribution by the local level representatives.
"While Chaudhary acknowledges the devastation dealt to the economy by the Covid-19 emergency and the protracted lockdown, he is optimistic about the sectors like tourism and infrastructure projects bouncing back once the restrictions are eased.It is the foreign labour sector that he is most worried about.
"It is estimated that nearly 1 million migrant workers are likely to return home. Creating jobs for them is going to be tough because the government does not have reliable data on the number of migrant workers and the different levels of work skills they possess." Chaudhary said. "During our discussion with the government representatives, they have assured us that they are working towards employment generation.
But the government should be aware that not all of them will be interested in working in the fields assigned by the government, say for example, the construction sector."
Chandan Kumar Mandal is the environment and migration reporter for The Kathmandu Post, covering labour migration and governance, as well as climate change, natural disasters, and wildlife.

Sivira Opening Café Olé on State Street
A veteran of the Mississippi food scene will make his mark on Fondren by the end of the year early February with a restaurant called Café Olé. Alex Sivira says the Latin-themed tequeria in the former Capitol Medical Supply at 2800 North State Street will feature a limited selection with emphasis on healthy, fresh and affordable.
Café Olé's menu will include Mexican tacos with flank steak, chicken, pork or seafood; Honduran tamales, wrapped in banana leaves (not the traditional corn husk); and empanadas from Sivira's Venezuelan homeland. A traditional, hot Cuban sandwich and soups like lentil, black bean and garbanzo are all planned. Café Olé will also serve Paella, a traditional Spanish rice mixed with chicken or seafood. Orders will come with chips — tortilla or pita — and a choice of sauce on the side. Sivira will give diners the option of salsa, guacamole or queso with or without chorizo. Desserts like Tres Leches, flan, churros and homemade cakes finish off the meal. The restaurant will offer a daily special.
Food here will come in generous portions, but not too much. "Most places bring you a basket full of chips and you fill up," Sivira says. "I want people to enjoy my food and taste the flavors." An open kitchen will help diners see how Café Olé operates – from a clean kitchen using only the freshest ingredients. That's an important factor to Sivira. And, he says, he will be catering toward vegetarian diners. "Most any dish we can make this way. Even our soups."
Dare there be comparisons to any other dining options in Fondren that serve a similar fare, Sivira says his will be different. "Babalu is great, but I'm not competing with Babalu," he explains. "I learned from my mother to worry about what I do and not what everyone else is doing." Sivira says he is giving people options. "Café Olé will be at a different price point and our atmosphere will be different, too."
The 59 year old is stepping away from his "white tablecloth" dining experiences for a more laid back approach. Sivira began his career at T.G.I. Fridays at Highland Village and later Cerami's when it was on Rice Road. He opened Nando's on Old Canton Road, one of the first Mexican restaurants in the area. More recently, Sivira's name was behind Panino's in Jackson and Hattiesburg and Alexander's in Madison.
Retiring and selling off his businesses, Sivira says he was left with too many ideas to quit. "Fast food (like Café Olé) gives me more contact with the customer," he says. He tells us he'll be a "hands-on' owner. "I'll do everything. I want to give something to community."
Sivira calls the location a perfect one. "Fondren, to me, is the kind of people to be around and it's a fun place," he says. Sivira likes seeing the community involved. "People don't walk around Jackson (as a rule), but they do here." The Caracas, Venezuela native, who has lived in Mississippi for 40 years, says this area feels familiar to him. "We walked shop to shop, drink coffee, go to a store and then to eat." Fondren reminds me of home."
Update: Now OPEN!
Carlos Sivira says:
That is my brother. I am so proud of you Alex. God bless you and My best wishes for you running this business


One step closer to Christmas - Stop staring and start sewing!
I'm so excited because I got some great gift ideas before Christmas this year! Usually I get great gift inspiration after Christmas and it just drives me nuts.
In our family we draw names just to keep it simpler. My sisters and our spouses draw amongst each other and then the kids and grandkids (my sister has 4 grandsons) draw amongst each other. So we have 3 little boys to get gifts for (well, officially speaking, my kids have 3 little boys to get gifts for but we know how that goes). So I decided this would be a great time to play with David Walker's Robots Fabric (love it!) and I whipped up 3 little backpacks.
Here's where the inspiration part comes in...I thought it would be fun to attach a fob type thing so the boys could hang some fun stuff off of their packs. I went to Walmart and found some great little l.e.d. flashlights in lots of fun colors and some ring and clip things (in the craft aisle). As I was walking down the camping aisle after procuring my flashlights I looked up and saw something every little boy loves...a whistle! Oh yes, they must have whistles!
I'm going to score some big time Super Great Auntie points with these guys! I even got a whistle for my youngest great-nephew (who is 10 days younger than my son!) because the thought of his big brothers running all over my sister's house whistling at the top of their lungs while he sits there all sad and whistleless just about broke my heart (yes, I am sort of snickering as I type this). One of my great-nephews lives in Alaska so I need to get these packaged and on their way.
I hope you're all a little closer to getting your gifts ready! I went to the post office today and waited in line (usually I just stuff things in the drop slots and run out). It was nice to chat with the gal next to me in line and talk with my post office people (they are the nicest). I'd like to bring some cookies up to them but I'm not sure if that's allowed (does anyone know?). Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season so far!

Digital Divide: September 2012
ilentertainer | August 31, 2012
Full disclosure: The latest and hottest young adult works of fiction have never quite been able to make an appearance on my reading list. Not because I'm a literary snob mind you (O.K., I'm a bit of a snob, sue me), but I stopped being the target audience more years ago than I care to admit.
A lot of people say you have to read the books because they're so much better than the movies. While that may be true, I feel that I couldn't have enjoyed the Harry Potter films more if I had several hundred pages of character development in the mental library, and I highly doubt reading the books about those sparkling vampires in skinny jeans would have made me like the flicks at all.
Still, I get the distinct impression that in the case of The Hunger Games, a quick scan of the source material would have greatly helped to fill in the gaps.
Apparently, according to The Hunger Games, the future of America isn't all too rosy, as it's been segmented into 12 districts. In this future, some sort of rebellion against the ruling class fell a little short. As punishment, every year, each district must serve up two members in the coveted 12 to 18-year-old demographic to compete against each other in a fight to the death to entertain the viewing masses. Think The Most Dangerous Game meets The Truman Show.
Each contestant owns a unique skill, with plucky Katniss Everdeen, straight out of the Appalachian backwoods, volunteering to take her bow and arrow to that party in place of her little sister. Jennifer Lawrence, again cultivating the backwoods vibe she modeled in Winter's Bone, gives a wonderful performance and carries the film as Katniss. However, the rest of the tween contestants or "tributes" as they're known, don't fare as well. Not because they don't try, but because they're just not given much to do. Some of the supporting cast acquits themselves well, specifically Stanley Tucci as a smarmy television host and Woody Harrelson as a former Hunger Games winner and Katniss' mentor. But Donald Sutherland is wasted, and Lenny Kravitz proves that as an actor, he makes a hell of a musician.
The Blu-ray release contains boatloads of features, including a whole disc with nothing but. On it, you'll find interviews with director Gary Ross, a pair of features with Sutherland, and an exhaustive two-hour making-of documentary, just to scratch the surface.
Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live
Eaglevision
Since his mid-80s masterpiece, So, Peter Gabriel has tossed out musical projects like a miser tosses out nickels. It took six years to produce the follow-up, Us, and a whopping 10 years to follow that one with Up. We're still waiting for the next one. Gabriel didn't exactly go hide under a table in the intervening years, taking the time to record a couple of world-music albums and the odd soundtrack here and there, but the work has been hit-or-miss.
1994's Secret World Live might be his most significant release aside from the main albums, and the video just might be one of the best concert films of the past two decades.
Now, Eaglevision gives it the Blu-ray release it deserves. It's been remixed and remastered since the original 2003 DVD release, and it looks and sounds terrific. A crackerjack backing band consisting of bassist Tony Levin, drummer Manu Katche, guitarist David Rhodes, and Paula Cole on backing vocals add richness and depth to the artfully designed stage show.
New on the Blu-ray is a bonus track of "Red Rain" and a 2011 performance of "The Rhythm Of The Heat" with The New Blood Orchestra, and special features include a time-lapse of the stage setup, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
Secret World Live is the rare concert document: One with the ability to capture an elaborate stage experience and maintain interest throughout.

American Diner Slots
The American Diner online slots game is a game that stands out for a variety of reasons. The first thing that can be said about this game is it has a design to it that will take players back to simpler times. While this game isn't a classic slot, the way in which it is presented will still remind them of days gone by. The simple and clean layout of this game also makes it a fantastic choice for anyone new to online gaming because they will be able to jump right on and start playing it without difficulty. There are also specific elements that make the game one with a big touch of the past, such as the symbols made up of shiny cars from the 50s. Back in these days the younger crowd was known for hanging out at the local diner and grabbing a bite while listening to the juke box. The look of American Diner has this vibe to it and it makes it a very comfortable yet entertaining slot.
This article will serve as a review of the American Diner online slots game. By reviewing this information players can get a true feel for what the game is all about. The design, the coin values, the payouts, the bonus rounds and the other special features will all be described in a detailed manner.
How to Play the American Diner Slot
The American Diner online slots game has such a basic design to it, but it also has many elements that create a fun gaming environment. The entire game has cartoon colors and the background is designed to look like a very bright blue nighttime sky with plenty of stars scattered about. The blue background changes to become a bright red and orange near the bottom portion of the screen. The reels are centered on the screen and they are very large which allows for big symbols with plenty of details. The game's totals and buttons are all at the bottom of the screen. The start button is directly in the middle of the screen and it is the large oval yellow button. There are some really fun animations that take place on the screen when a winning combination occurs.
The coin values in American Diner begin at 0.01 and players can choose from 11 different betting options for each spin. A maximum bet of 40 coins per spin is possible.
There are colorful high ranking card symbols in American Diner that make up the lower paying symbols players will see on the reels. The 9s and 10s are the absolute lowest paying and they will give the player a payout worth 100 for five of them. The symbol of the blonde girl is the one that offers players the largest payout and it is good for a payout of 1000 for getting five of them. All of the other symbols will fall somewhere in between those payouts.
American Diner Bonus Features
There is a wild symbol in the American Diner game that comes on the reels to replace the regular symbols when doing so will bring the players more winning combinations. There is only one symbol in the game that the wild won't take the place of and that is the game's jukebox scatter symbol.
The jukebox scatter symbol is also a special symbol players want to keep a close eye on. This symbol can really help them to achieve more wins when they play. This is due to the fact that it can take them into the free spins feature. The free spins allow players to enjoy a certain number of spins that they don't have to spend their own credits on and this makes every spin in the round risk-free. In order to trigger the free spins feature the player will need to get at least three of the jukebox scatters. Also, getting more of these scatters during the free spins will give the player 1 or 2 more free spins and increase the amount of the multiplier.
The American Diner slots game does a great job of taking players back to a simpler time while offering them the chance to enjoy a fun gaming experience. There are also special features that help the players to increase their chances of winning prizes with each spin of the reels. The bright colors add a great touch of personality to the game and there are likable characters on the reels.
I found the American Diner to be a fun game to spend time on. I liked the special animations that took place when certain winning combinations were formed. I was quite lucky with regards to how often I saw the wilds come up. I was also able to enjoy the free spins feature and it proved to be a nice little profit maker for me as well. I do plan on playing this game again in the future.

Final Approach-Lock Down-Election 2018-Bob Davis Podcast 773
These days everyone on the air everywhere seems hell bent for leather to predict the future. Moreover they're also often partisan commentators. In this final podcast before the election, what to look for on election night. Get details in Final Approach-Lock Down-Election 2018-Bob Davis Podcast 773.
No Predictions
I don't do predictions. For the purposes of election coverage at The Bob Davis Podcasts, I don't do partisanship.
Has Donald Trump Changed Politics?
For election 2018 I have two especially relevant questions. First, have the tactics of President Donald Trump changed American politics? Second, are the media's predictions skewed? Get it all in Final Approach-Lock Down-Election 2018-Bob Davis Podcast 773.
Nine Podcasts Detailing Toss Up Races
I've done nine podcasts detailing the so called toss up races for House, Senate and Governors across the country. Listen to them here. These podcasts explain the media storyline which is that President Trump will lose the house, at the very least.
Democrats Need 26 Wins
Democrats need to win at least 26 seats in order to take back the house. With over 60 toss up races, according to some analysts the storyline that there will be a change in House leadership is easily sold. Moreover taking back the Senate will be even more difficult. In Final Approach-Lock Down-Election 2018-Bob Davis Podcast 773 I explain why it might not be that easy.
Decide For Yourself
Finally if you're watching TV on election night you need to know what to look for so you can decide for yourself what the chances of a change in House or Senate leadership is a possible outcome.
No Polling Bad Polling
Truth is many 'toss up' classifications for House elections across the country don't even have polling to back it up. What's more what polling exists is either spotty, dated, to skewed. I explain why, where and how in Final Approach-Lock Down-Election 2018-Bob Davis Podcast 773.
What To Watch For In Each Time Zone On Election Night
Working our way west from Virginia and Florida, to the central and mountain time zones, all the way to the Pacific, I take a look at the headline elections. House, Senate and Governors. What will pick ups or holds for either mainline political party mean for the final tally?
Minnesota May Tell The Story
In conclusion I don't know which way this election will turn but I can tell you what to look for as it happens. Listeners and Subscribers in Minnesota will be especially interested in the part of the podcast that deals with the Land Of Ten Thousand Lakes, because Minnesota has at least four nail biter elections, on which control of the House at least could rest.
Finally there are over one hundred ballot measures which could effect voter turn out in some key states. For a complete state by state list, go here.
(Editor's Note: Another number thrown about for Democrat control of the House is 23. My calculations say they need 25 seats. Some say 26 to cement control of the chamber. For political watchers, if Democrats gain up to 23 seats before the end of the night on November 6th 2018, a majority is pretty much guaranteed at that point).

News-Information Vacuum-Personality Cults-Propaganda-Podcast 731
I find it more difficult these days to talk about breaking news. Propaganda passes for actual news. Find out more in News-Information Vacuum-Personality Cults-Propaganda-Podcast 731.
Attack or Leaping To Defend
In addition correspondents are on the attack or leaping to defend the president's summit with the North Korean leader. Furthermore, rather than report on the economy talking heads assert there is a 'boom' without new GDP numbers to support their contention.
The Narrative Is Controlled By The Wizard Of Oz
What happened to news reporting? Now the narrative is controlled by the president. Media personalities seeking relevance are expected to defend Trump's increasingly bizarre assertions or say he can't do anything right. Moreover the media seeks to predict elections before they happen.
Twitter and Catfights
Moreover, newsrooms don't cover issues.
Reporters cover twitter feeds and catfights.
Since the president inflates any small accomplishment as a world beater it's especially relevant to talk about actual results.
Results? We Don't Need No Stinking Results
What are the results of the Trump-Kim meeting? The so called booming economy? The draining of the 'swamp'? Find out in News-Information Vacuum-Personality Cults-Propaganda-Podcast 731.
Trump Political Vacuum
Welcome to the Trump Political Vacuum. You're either defending or attacking Trump. Everything else is fake news. Trump is the antichrist. Trump is under the protection of God. The president is a child, or playing "four dimensional chess". Take your pick. There's no in between.
Welcome To the Delusion
In conclusion people suffer in the vacuum. Finding a good source is almost impossible. Discerning what's real and opinion is even more difficult.
So, we live in a dreamworld of delusion.
Finally without facts surrounding an event a free society cannot make informed political choices. I can identify two times in history when it was this bad. Neither ended well. Moreover, this kind of situation erodes the foundations of a free society.
(Editor's Note: These days in these rambling podcasts sometimes I make confused references. This time I made a reference to the Berlin Wall falling 'in 1983 or 1984'. Of course I know the fall of the Berlin Wall occurred on November 9th, 1989. Subsequently the Soviet Union collapsed in December of 1991.)

Q: What are the pitfalls of multiplication by juxtaposition when designing a numeric programming language? In lieu of a standard definition (happy to replace if exists), I'll define syntax for multiplication by juxtaposition using a space between symbols or expressions so that:
c = a b  --> c = a * b

(Note: I'm specifically not allowing c=ab --> c = a * b as ab would be the 2-character name of a variable ab).
This ought to work nicely with parenthesis and order of operations so that
c = a (b + q)       --> c = a * (b + q)
c = (a + p) (b + q) --> c = (a + p) * (b + q)
c = a/p b           --> c = a/p*b

It seems that very few languages (e.g., Wolfram Alpha), allow such implied multiplication. I'm wondering why?
Is this just a pain to parse?
Are there ambiguities?
A keyword-search skim of "A practical approach to type-sensitive parsing" [Sailor & McCorsky 1994] seems to imply that this is possible.
Regarding vote to close due to "primarily opinion-based": I am not looking for opinions. I'm looking for theoretical reasons why parsing this would be more complex or impossible due to ambiguities.

A: It's not impossible to parse but there are a number of issues which need to be resolved.
First, x(a+b) could be a product or a function call, depending on whether x is a scalar or a function. To resolve the ambiguity, you need to know what x is, which pretty well requires mandatory declare before use. Even if your language is strongly typed and you don't mind the requirement to declare first, you still ned a somewhat clunky back-channel from the parser to the lexical scanner, or some other parsing hack. (For example, Awk -- which uses juxtaposition for string concatenation -- treats it as a function call if there is no space between the function name and the (.). You can defer the parse but you might find that you need to reparse the entire expression in order to get precedences right.
A similar ambiguity with unary operators. It's easy enough to insist that a -b is a subtraction, so that the product would be written with parentheses -- a(-b) -- but it complicates the grammar.
Precedence can be confusing for people reading the code, too. Consider n!/k!(n-k)!; if that is the correct way to write the expression, juxtaposition must have a higher precedence than division, but there are those who think that juxtaposition and product should have the same precedence. (This group includes some of the authors of the SI measurements standard, which recommends not using juxtaposition to write measurements where the expression type has a multiplied denominator.)
In short, a syntax supposedly designed for improved readability can produce confusion and even subtle bugs. That, plus the increase in parsing complexity, raises the question of how much real benefit there is in leaving out a few *s.

Is your child looking for a 'transformation' this season?
If so, you really should take them down to Specsavers Crawley in The Martlets to check out the new Transformers range of glasses for kids.
Kumar Keshavji, store director in Crawley, said: 'Most of us want a new look once in a while, however old we are.
