From Ambedkarites and Labour Activists to Umar Khalid and JNU Students, Snoop List Targets All
Leaked list of potential surveillance targets indicates attempt to keep tabs on critics of government policy.

New Delhi: The telephone numbers of an anti-caste leader and several prominent activists are part of a leaked database accessed by the Pegasus Project which includes individuals confirmed to have been targeted with the Israel based NSO group's spyware.
The activists whose phone numbers appear in the leaked records include Ambedkarite activist Ashok Bharti; former Jawahar Lal Nehru University students Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and Banjyotsna Lahiri; academic and chronicler of life in Naxal-dominated regions Bela Bhatia; railway union leader Shiv Gopal Mishra; Delhi-based labour rights activist Anjani Kumar, anti-coal mining activist Alok Shukla; Delhi University professor Saroj Giri; Bastar-based peace activist Shubhranshu Choudhary; former BBC journalist and trade unionist Sandeep Kumar Rai "Rauzi" who publishes a labour rights media platform called Workers Unity; Rauzi's colleague Khalid Khan, and Jharkhand-based activist Ipsa Shatakshi.
Without digital forensics, it is not possible to conclusively establish whether their phones were hacked or infected. But their appearance on the list suggests that they were persons of interest to an unidentified client of the NSO Group that was focused on India. .
NSO says it only sells its Pegasus spyware – classified as military grade surveillance technology by the Israeli ministry of defence – to "vetted governments". The Modi government has consistently refused to declare whether or not it is a client of NSO.
Bharat Bandh called by Dalit groups a focus?
Ashok Bharti, who is chairman of the All India Ambedkar Mahasabha, an umbrella association of Dalit rights' groups, had led the nation-wide Bharat Bandh on April, 2, 2018 against a recent Supreme Court ruling, which he claimed took away the teeth of the Scheduled and Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The ruling sparked massive demonstrations across the country, and the Bharat Bandh claimed 11 lives and left hundreds injured as the police took on Dalit protesters.
A few months later, Bharti gave another call for a nation-wide strike on August 9. It was in the months leading up to this strike that his phone number was selected as a possible candidate for surveillance.
When The Wire contacted Bharti, he said that he was not surprised as he had been actively campaigning against any dilution of the law. Forensic analysis of his phone was not possible as he no longer had the phone that he was using at the time of selection.
"We called off the strike on August 9, after the Centre budged and the Lok Sabha passed the amendments to the Atrocities Act. Soon after that, I started preparing our political outfit, the Jan Samman Party, to contest a few seats in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh elections," said Bharti, who also leads the National Confederation of Dalit and Adivasi Organisations.
Four names from WhatsApp case
In 2019, WhatsApp stated that four of the activists mentioned above – Saroj Giri, Bela Bhatia, Alok Shukla and Shubranshu Choudhary – were affected by a Pegasus attack that took place through a specific vulnerability in the company's security. Digital forensics conducted as part of the Pegasus Project have shed light on a wider range of attack vectors including zero-click iMessage exploits.
An Appeal: Support Investigative Journalism That Brings You The Truth. Support The Wire.
The numbers of all activists in this story appeared on the leaked list, some starting from 2017, and continued at different times up till 2019. Entries in the database run only up to mid-July of that year, making it impossible to say what the current status is.
WhatsApp is currently fighting a case against NSO in the United States over the hacking of customer accounts, including those in India.
JNU students in surveillance dragnet
Anirban Bhattacharya and Umar Khalid were two of the three students who were charged with sedition while they were doing their Ph.D in JNU. Since then, Anirban told The Wire, both of them, along with Banojyotsna Lahiri, have been involved in various organisational activities against escalating hate crimes in the country. They were also integral to different protests against the lynching of Muslims in recent years organised under the banner of Not In My Name and United Against Hate (UAH). Khalid, currently in prison as an undertrial, is facing prosecution under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the Delhi riots case, charges he has described as fabricated.
When informed about being marked as a potential target for surveillance, both Banojyotsna and Anirban told The Wire that they saw snooping by the government as yet another way to crush dissent.
"There are matters that are shocking and yet one is not shocked anymore, that is how low a benchmark there is for the state of democracy these days in the country. That's the price one pays for peaceful and public dissent today," Anirban said, adding that his friend Umar and many others are behind bars for "participating in non-violent dissent" against the Union government's policies and moves.
"We have cooperated fully with the process of law as far as the JNU sedition case is concerned. We know, and even the government knows that, in time, the law would prove our innocence and expose how [the case] was simply a ploy to silence uncomfortable voices," he said.

He added that between 2017 and 2019, he had been employed at the New Delhi-based the Centre for Equity Studies as a senior researcher foregrounding the plight of workers and the marginalised.
"I am not surprised… People are in jail for much less. Such is the new normal, a normalcy that violates the very essence of democracy," he told The Wire.
In a similar vein, Banojyotsna expressed little surprise at her possible targetting. "We were tracking hate crimes, incidents of mob lynching and communal violence. During this course, we at UAH travelled to meet almost all the families of the victims, and even provided legal aid to many."
"Despite the landmark judgment on the Right to Privacy, which was passed by a nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court, privacy has no meaning to the state authorities in India," she said, referring to the 2017 Justice K.S Puttaswamy vs Union of India case.
Speaking to The Wire, Bela Bhatia said that she has been researching the Maoist movement across the country from the 1990s, and really does not know why anyone would wish to "persecute" for her human rights work.
"In Bastar, I have been working here less as a scholar and more as a human-rights activist, writer, and lawyer in response to the scores of human rights violations – especially fake encounters, sexual assault, and arbitrary arrests under fabricated cases – that are an everyday reality of the adivasis of Bastar."
"Again, Naxalites are very much part of this work too, since the human rights violations are happening in their areas, and my clients are mostly poor adivasis from these interior parts who have been embroiled in serious cases, many under the draconian UAPA. Therefore, yes, the Naxalites have somehow been part of my life for 25 years now," she said.

Saroj Giri, who was alerted by WhatsApp that he was a Pegasus target in 2019, told The Wire that his political positions are well-known and he was surprised when he learnt that he was subjected to surveillance. "I have been closely following and participating in multiple labour rights movements, and have spoken as an academic and activist against police and state atrocities, especially in regions where the governments claim to fight Naxalism. "I have been in a fact-finding committee to Jhargram, West Bengal to probe the West Bengal government's excessive police action, and at the same time been involved in workers' movements in Manesar, Gurgaon," he said.
Shubhranshu Choudhary, who too learnt in 2019 that his phone was snooped upon, said that all his work was in the public domain. Founder of the CGNet Swara, a community radio station in Bastar, Choudhary has begun what he calls a "peace process" in recent years in regions which are heavily influenced by Naxalites. "It is highly objectionable that the mobile phones of citizens are subjected to surveillance, I have come to understand that if you are working to restore peace in a war zone like Bastar, you could be targeted both by the state and Maoists. Privacy is something neither of the forces respect, but I would expect better from at least the state."
Shiv Gopal Mishra, who is a secretary of the joint consultative machinery for the central government employees union and general secretary of the All India Railwaymen's Federation was also of interest to the India client of NSO group in 2018 and 2019. He said he was not surprised that he may have been under surveillance.
"We were very vocal on issues of the 7th Pay Commission, unfilled vacancies in government jobs and revision in pension schemes," he told The Wire.
A Delhi-based independent workers rights activist Anjani Kumar's phone number also appear in the records, and appear to have become a person of interest in 2018 and 2019. When contacted, he declined comment, citing reasons of privacy. Kumar had been frequently contributing articles to a workers rights Hindi magazine Filhaal on different labour issues and movements until a few years ago. As an activist, he has had a long record of participating in workers movements in the National Capital Region, including the Maruti workers movement in Manesar, Haryana, where he prominently participated.
Alok Shukla, convenor of the Chhattisgarh Bachao Andolan (CBA) is also on the list of potential spyware targets. A vocal rights activist in central India, he has participated in several anti- mining protests in the state. Shukla feels he could have been targeted for his activism, more particularly his stand against the Adani Group-operated coal mining projects in the state. "In the past few years, I have organised and led several protests against the Adani Group for their mindless mining project," Shukla told The Wire. This, he says, must have made him a target of surveillance under the past Raman Singh-led BJP government in the state.
Mishra said that the attempts at surveillance show that the BJP government at the Centre does not care about the people. "Pichli sarkaron mein daya mamta hua karti thi. Ye sarkar sirf punjipatiyon ke liye kam karna chahti hai (Governments in the past had some empathy towards the people. This government only wants to work for the capitalists)," he said.
"Sabka sath aur mazdoor ka vinash (With everyone, but for the destruction of workers)," he said, playing on Narendra Modi's slogan of 'With everyone, for everyone's development'.
Note: An earlier version of this article erroneously identified Ipsa Shatakshi as a Bihar-based activist. She is in fact based in Jharkhand.

silicon.com CIO50 2011: What IT leaders get up to outside the office
by Nick Heath in CIO Insights , in CXO on June 16, 2011, 1:58 AM PST
Tech chiefs have a passion for everything from jungle music to skydiving...
Cycling is a popular pastime among this year's CIO50Photo: D'Arcy Norman
The IT leaders on this year's CIO50 list take their spare time almost as seriously as they do their work, engaging in everything from skydiving to arresting crooks.
Many of their activities outside of work sound like a full-time job in themselves, including running a boat-building company, renovating a 350-year-old house and serving as a special constable with the Metropolitan Police.
Contrary to the geek stereotype, they're no couch potatoes - with CIOs listing cycling, swimming and even skydiving among their hobbies. IT chief Gideon Kay, group CIO at LGC, takes sporting activity to the next level by competing in triathlons.
Meanwhile, Department for Culture, Media and Sport CIO Mark O'Neill takes the prize for the most eclectic pastime, indulging his passion for writing about arts and music by covering everyone from Russian avant-garde artist Lyubov Popova to Hackney jungle group The Ragga Twins.
This year's bunch are also serious about helping others, with several CIOs raising money for charity and Richard Thwaite, CIO for UBS Global Asset Management, having been shortlisted for a Disability Champion Award.
And while they may be among the best in their field today, this year's CIO50 have taken very different routes to become IT leaders, starting out studying physics, biochemistry, robotics, engineering and even philosophy.
Heading up the IT department also represents something of a departure from some CIOs' early careers, such as Nic Bellenberg, IT director at publisher Hachette Filipacchi UK, who spent four years as a writer and editor, and Jaguar Land Rover CIO Jeremy Vincent, who served as an engineering officer in the Royal Navy.
As the silicon.com CIO50 goes to show, there's no such a thing as an average CIO.

Death row inmate wins last-minute reprieve after Trump's Supreme Court pick helps halt execution
A death row inmate has won a reprieve from a scheduled lethal injection after the US Supreme Court ruled it could not go ahead without his pastor in the chamber.
Willie B Smith III was due to be executed on Thursday but it was called off by Alabama officials after the justices maintained an injunction issued by the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Samantha Rose said the execution would not proceed given the ruling.
Alabama has argued that non-prison staff should not be in the room for security reasons.
"Willie Smith is sentenced to death, and his last wish is to have his pastor with him as he dies," Justice Elena Kagan wrote in an opinion joined by three other justices.

They included Donald Trump's controversial late appointee to the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, which saw her break from the bench's most right-wing faction on the religious freedom case.
"Alabama has not carried its burden of showing that the exclusion of all clergy members from the execution chamber is necessary to ensure prison security," Justice Kagan wrote.
"So the State cannot now execute Smith without his pastor present, to ease what Smith calls the 'transition between the worlds of the living and the dead'."

Death row inmate has no right to 'painless death', US Supreme Court rules
The case was the latest in a series of legal battles over personal spiritual advisers at executions.
In 2019, the court halted the execution of a Texas inmate who claimed his religious freedom would be violated if his Buddhist spiritual adviser was not allowed to be in the death chamber with him.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh suggested in a dissent against the ruling that states that want to avoid litigation on the issue "should figure out a way to allow spiritual advisors into the execution room, as other states and the federal government have done".
Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch did not disclose how they voted, but both would have needed to side with Justice Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas for the execution to proceed.
If the execution had gone ahead it would have been the first by a state in 2021 and one of the few at the state level since the start of the pandemic last year.
While a number of federal death row inmates were put to death in the final months of he Trump administration, the Death Penalty Information Centre says no state has had an execution since last July.
Following the latest Supreme Court ruling, Smith was taken from a holding cell near the execution chamber and returned to his cell on death row, a prison spokeswoman said.
"The state is currently reviewing its options in light of last night's Supreme Court order leaving the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals' preliminary injunction in effect," Mike Lewis, a spokesman for Attorney General Steve Marshall, said.
Smith had sought to allow his spiritual adviser, Pastor Robert Wiley, in the execution chamber.
"Mr Smith pled that he believes that the point of transition between life and death is important, and that having his spiritual advisor physically present at that moment is integral to his faith," Smith's lawyers wrote in court documents.
Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Centre, said the Supreme Court has not ruled whether states are constitutionally required to permit a spiritual advisor in the execution chamber.
But, he added that states "can make this issue disappear simply by permitting a religious advisor to be present".
"If they don't, it will continue to be an issue until the Supreme Court rules on the substance of one of these claims, rather than issuing shadow-docket rulings to grant or vacate stays of execution or preliminary injunctions," Mr Dunham said.
In the past, Alabama routinely put a Christian prison chaplain employed by the state in the execution chamber to pray with an inmate if requested.
But the state stopped that practice after a Muslim inmate asked to have an imam present.
The prison system, which did not have Muslim cleric on staff, said non-prison staff would not be allowed in the chamber.
A jury convicted Smith in 1992 of killing Sharma Ruth Johnson, who was the sister of a Birmingham police detective.
Prosecutors said Smith abducted Johnson at gunpoint from a cashpoint, stole $80 from her and then took her to a cemetery where he shot her in the back of the head.
Justices vacated another stay issued by the 11th Circuit related to Smith's intellectual capacity after his lawyers argued the state failed to give the man – who has an IQ below 75 – required assistance with forms affecting the timing of his execution.

Steel ministry looks at $70bn investments in eastern region
The eastern region with rich mineral resources has a great potential for development of the steel industry
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the steel ministry is looking at an aggregate investment of $70 billion in the eastern region of the country through accelerated development of the sector.
Launching the 'Purvodaya' programme here, Pradhan said the underdeveloped districts in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, northern Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Odisha have to be taken forward for development of the steel sector.
The eastern region with rich mineral resources has a great potential for development of the steel industry, he said, adding that Bihar needs to be included in the list.
According to the National Steel Policy announced in 2017, the government is aiming at a total production capacity of 300 million tonne by 2030 and out of which, around 200 million tonne is envisaged from the five eastern states, he said.
Addressing an event organised by CII, Pradhan, minister of petroleum, natural gas and steel, said the region has rich deposits of coal, iron ore and bauxite.
"As much as 90 million tonne of steel is produced in the east, out of the total production volume of 140 million tonne in the country," he said.
The steel ministry's additional secretary Rasika Chaube said the eastern region has a "natural advantage and potential" to contribute to India's target of achieving an economy of USD five trillion within 2024-25, adding that the sector has the capability to act as a catalyst.
She said the 'Purvodaya' programme would also address the logistics and infrastructure bottlenecks in the eastern region.
It also seeks setting up of greenfield plants and expansion of brownfield ones and constructing of clusters near the demand centres, Chaube added.
"Task forces have also been set up for setting up pilot projects under the aegis of the steel ministry and inter-ministerial consultations will be held for the proposed clusters," she said.

George Harrison "Heavy" Wheeler (November 10, 1881 – June 18, 1918) was a Major League Baseball pinch hitter who played in three games for the Cincinnati Reds in 1910.  He was an outfielder during his minor league career.

Wheeler made his major league debut on July 27, 1910 at the age of 28 and appeared in his final big league game on August 3 of that year. In three at-bats with the Reds, Wheeler collected zero hits, striking out twice.

Though Wheeler's major league career was short, his minor league career lasted eight seasons, from 1907 to 1914. In 119 games with the Terre Haute Hottentots in 1908 he hit .303, and in 124 games in 1913 - split between the Terre Haute Terre-iers and Indianapolis Indians - he hit .320. Overall, he hit .287 in 810 minor league games.

Following his death, he was interred at Little Flock Cemetery in Shelburn, Indiana.

Top Employee of Granite Recovery Centers Pleads Guilty to Fentanyl Trafficking
New Hampshire Public Radio | By Jason Moon
Jeff Hatch, a former employee of Granite Recovery Centers, which operates 12 drug recovery facilities across New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to charges of fentanyl trafficking on Friday.
According to his plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Hatch transported 1,500 grams of fentanyl from Lawrence, Mass., to Manchester, N.H., in July, 2017. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, just 2 milligrams of fentanyl is a lethal dose for most people.
Hatch is a former NFL player who struggled with addiction following football injuries. He shared his personal experience in frequent public speaking events around the state. In April, 2017 he appeared alongside New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen at an event warning student athletes about the dangers of drugs.
Hatch has worked with Granite Recovery Centers since 2015, most recently as the group's Chief Business Development Officer. He was set to greet Vice President Mike Pence during an event at a Granite Recovery Centers facility in Salem earlier this month. Pence abruptly canceled the trip, reportedly due to the fact that Hatch was involved in a federal drug trafficking investigation.
Exactly how Hatch was involved in that federal investigation remains unclear. Politico, which first wrote about this story, reports that Hatch agreed to cooperate with investigators in exchange for a lighter sentence -- up to 4 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The details of Hatch's plea agreement bolster that idea. The agreement states Hatch was apprehended for selling drugs in Manchester in the spring of 2017, while the plea agreement regarding the related charges was not entered until last Friday. During the intervening period of more than two years, Hatch remained employed at Granite Recovery Centers.
Eric Spofford
In a Facebook post, Granite Recovery Centers CEO Eric Spofford said he was shocked and heartbroken.
"Neither me nor anyone at Granite Recovery Centers was aware of Jeff's actions. It was unfortunately a well kept secret. I was made aware of this situation today at approximately 11am. I don't condone what he did and I'm incredibly upset. He was terminated immediately."
Spofford is a significant player in New Hampshire's addiction recovery economy. Since he launched Granite Recovery as a sober living house in Derry in 2008, it has grown to include 12 centers around the state. He has also developed connections to elected officials seeking input on recovery and addiction policy. Then-Sen. Kelly Ayotte, for instance, invited him to testify before Congress in 2015.
Gov. Chris Sununu reacted to the news, issuing a statement on Monday calling Hatch's actions "morally abhorrent."
Sununu also reacted to the reporting that Hatch cooperated with federal law enforcement authorities.
"If these reports are true, his cooperation in this investigation better have been sufficient enough to justify such a lenient plea agreement."

Sex with young girls via live chat: Bonn teacher confesses child abuse
Sex with young girls via live chat : Bonn teacher confesses child abuse
A teacher in Bonn has confessed in court to the abuse of children on the Internet and the possession of child pornography. Foto: dpa/Martin Gerten
A 43-year-old teacher confessed to the abuse of young girls and the possession of child pornography before the Bonn Regional Court. The man had sex with young girls via live chat, 44 cases are known.
"I'm in a naughty, dirty mood," a Bonn educator is said to have revealed it to one of his victims. And in a "naughty, dirty mood" the 43-year-old teacher was probably more often: Since Tuesday he has had to answer to the second largest criminal chamber at the Bonn Regional Court for the distribution, acquisition and possession of child pornography and child abuse.
Between December 2016 and March 2018, the man is said to have sought contact with young girls - mostly between the ages of eight and twelve - in 44 cases via various chat channels. Most of the victims are said to live in the USA, but he is also said to have found them in the Netherlands, Great Britain and Germany. The man confessed.
Apparently, in order not to be photographed or filmed, the defendant sat down in the auditorium before the trial. Only when the judge entered did he stand up and switch to the dock, where he sat next to his defender Matthias Brauer. From there, he followed the reading of the 44 points of the indictment, which lasted about one hour, without any visible movement and with his head bowed low.
The man is said to have chatted with the girls for hours and hours, mostly at night, for about a year and during this time he asked them to perform sexual acts on him or to watch him do them. He recorded video and photo files, which in many cases he also sent to the children.
The police had found out about the man from American investigators. On 13 March 2018, his computer and several modems were confiscated by officers of the Federal Criminal Police Office.
Even before the confession, the defense caused a surprise: because he had repeatedly pointed out the "overwhelming burden of proof" to those involved in the trial, the presiding judge Wolfgang Schmitz-Justen was biased, according to attorney Brauer, and requested the reassignment of the chamber. After a short break, Schmitz-Justen decided that the main trial should continue until a decision on the request for bias had been reached and began the taking of evidence in camera with the questioning of the first witness. However, this was not one of the victims - instead the former partner of the accused testified.

The fact that she had separated from him had hit him hard, according to the defendant. "My world collapsed. I couldn't understand it. She was my dream woman". Although he confessed, it was not yet clear whether he had fully realized the implications of his actions: he first conceded the diagnosis of pedophilia, only to claim shortly afterwards that he might also be schizophrenic.
The teacher said that he was very pleased with the arrival of the police. As soon as his actions had been discovered, he then went to Erfurt for therapy. The final diagnosis: pedophilia. Back home he had received the news of his suspension from the school service and that had really opened his eyes: Until then, he had assumed that at some point he would be able to work as a teacher again. Since then, the Studienrat has apparently completed a veritable "clinic hopping". Apparently, he did not agree with the respective diagnoses.

Tracking his career
WARNOCK SHARESMEMORIES OF LATE HOULLIER
Former Premier League player Stephen Warnock has shared lovely memories of Gerard Houllierwho passed away at the age of 73 at the start of this week. Stephen Warnock was on Sky Sports on Monday to talk about the Frenchman and the impact that he had on his Liverpool career.
Stephen Warnock was primarily a youth team player when Gerard Houllierwas in charge of the first team squad at Liverpool. He also played for Gerard Houllier while the Frenchman was the Aston Villa boss between 2010 and 2011.
Gerard Houllier died after a heart problem on Monday. Until his death, the ex-Villa and Liverpool manager was the head of football for Red Bull worldwide and his portfolio covered all the Red Bull clubs from Red Bull Salzburg in Austria to RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga to New York Red Bulls in the Major League Soccer (MLS) of the United States of America.
He was also in charge of Red Bull Brasil and the now defunct Red Bull academies in the West Africa nation of Ghana. In November 2020, Gerard Houllier was appointed the technical director of Olympique Lyon Feminin and Olympique Lyon Reign, the two women football clubs are in France.
Gerard Houllier didn't enjoy much success during his time at Aston Villa as much as he did during his six-year stay at Liverpool. He helped the Reds to win five trophies in one year. Liverpool enjoyed a lot of success under his managerial reign especially in 2001. While Gerard Houllier was the Liverpool boss, the Frenchman led Liverpool to the League Cup title and the UEFA Cup title during the 2000/01 season. The Reds also won the FA Cup title during the same season. The fourth and fifth title of that year came in the summer when they won both the Charity Shield and the UEFA Super Cup.

From 1825 to 1919, it published the African Repository and Colonial Journal.
Following the American Revolutionary War, the institution of slavery and those bound within it grew, as slaves were naturally increasing; their total number reached four million slaves by the mid-19th century.
The proposed solution was to have free blacks deported from the United States to colonize parts of Africa.
Paul Cuffee (1759–1817) was a mixed-race, successful Quaker ship owner, and activist descended from Ashanti and Wampanoag parents.
The ACS was founded by groups otherwise opposed to each other on the issue of slavery, being a coalition made up mostly of evangelicals and Quakers who supported abolition of slavery and believed blacks would face better chances for freedom in Africa than in the United States, and some slaveholders (in the Maryland branch and elsewhere) who saw repatriation as a way to remove free blacks from slave societies and avoid slave rebellions.
The Society was especially prominent among slaveowners in the Virginia Piedmont region in the 1820s and 1830s.
Clay thought that deportation of free blacks was preferable to trying to integrate them in America, believing that "unconquerable prejudice resulting from their color, they never could amalgamate with the free whites of this country.It helped to found the colony of Liberia in 1821–22 on the coast of West Africa as a place for free-born or manumitted American blacks.The ACS met with immediate and continuing objections from African Americans like James Forten and David Walker, who wished to remain in the land of their birth, saw colonization as a racist strategy for protecting slavery and purging the U. of its black citizens, and preferred to fight for equal rights at home.At the same time, due in part to manumission efforts sparked by the war and the abolition of slavery in Northern states, there was an expansion of the number of free blacks, who faced legislated limits.In the first two decades after the Revolutionary War, the percentage of free blacks rose in Virginia, for instance, from 1% to nearly 10% of the black population.
"[My husband] loves that I was willing to try something 'out of the box' for his enjoyment and happiness," says Shayna, who lives in Elizabeth, NJ, and asked that her last name not be printed for privacy reasons.
(Rimsky-Korsakov's " Flight of the Bumblebee" was transcribed for English concertina early in the instrument's history.).

TIP OF THE DAY: Make Lemonade ~ It's National Lemonade Day!
Diet Tips August 20, 2020 by admin
August 20th is National Lemonade Day. When was the last time you had a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade?
Most of the lemonade drinks sold in supermarkets are made with lemon juice concentrate or worse, lemon flavoring.
Treat yourself to the real thing!

LEMONADE TRIVIA
Lemons originated in China, India, and Myanmar, and as sugar also originated in the general region, it's safe to assume that some form of sweetened lemon water was first enjoyed in the ancient Far East.
The first recorded creation of lemonade dates to 500 C.E. in Egypt, when lemon juice was mixed with sugar to make a drink called qatarmizat.It was a valued trade item and was frequently exported to other countries.
The first lemonade "soft drink" debuted in Paris on August 20th, 1630. The drink was made from sparkling water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. Roving street vendors sold it from tanks strapped to their backs.
Frozen lemonade appeared more than 200 years later, in 1840 in Naples, Italy.
The first printed record of a lemonade stand was in 1879. The New York Times referenced a Wisconsin shopkeeper who hawked the drink outside his store. By the following summer, stands popped up all around New York City, selling cups for a nickel each (as opposed to 15 cents in a barroom).
The first variation of a now-famous phrase was printed in 1909, in Men's Wear, a retailers' newspaper. It said, "In business turn obstacles into conveniences. When handed a lemon—make lemonade of it."
Grape or strawberry juice is added plain lemonade to make commercial pink lemonade. The cheap stuff uses red food color.
In Australia, England, Ireland and New Zealand, "lemonade" is a carbonated lemon- or lemon-lime soft drink, similar to Sprite.
Arnold Palmer popularized the drink named for him at the 1960 U.S. Open: half lemonade and half sweet tea.
Add vodka to an Arnold Palmer and it becomes a John Daly—a cruel reference, we think, to another golfer's struggle with alcoholism.
Swap out the vodka for Everclear, a high-proof grain alcohol, and you've got a Happy Gilmore.
Hold the alcohol, and lemonade is truly thirst-quenching. Sour or tart drinks stimulate the salivary glands and provide relief to the "dry mouth" of being tired and dehydrated. This effect even continues after the drink is finished.
VARIETIES OF LEMONADE
Brown Lemonade: In Northern Ireland, brown lemonade is flavored with brown sugar.
Cloudy Lemonade: The conventional form of lemonade found in the U.S., Canada, and India. In the U.K. and Australia, you have to ask for "cloudy" lemonade; regular "lemonade" is a carbonated drink like Sprite.
Clear Lemonade: The predominant form of lemonade in the U.K. and Australia is a clear, lemon- or lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage. Schweppes and R. White's Lemonade are common brands. Other soft drinks that are both lemon and lime flavored, such as Sprite and 7 UP, may also sometimes be referred to as lemonade.
There are also speciality flavors of clear lemonade, such as Fentiman's Rose Lemonade, made with added rose oil.
Shandy, a mixture of beer and lemonade, is available bottled and in pubs. Here's more about it.
Pink Lemonade: The best versions are cloudy lemonade with added grape or strawberry juice for color and an extra layer of flavor.

Western Wildness is a 5 reel 20 payline slot machine. In the movie intro scene you have the cowboy, the cowgirl and the villain showing off their shooting skills. This is brilliantly done.
The next is the play screen which shows you symbols of the cowboy, cowgirl, the masked bandit who looks suitably menacing, flashy cowboy boots, a bag full of dollars, the sheriff's badge, a trunk which probably contains a lot of money and with Rival Express written on it. There is also the box of bullets, the horse shoe and the shotgun.
So, what you have here is a machine which has a fun filled western theme with splendid graphics and background sound.
During the spins you have fast paced sound effects with the piercing sound of bullets thrown in. During wins and combinations the symbols are animated. Some of the good ones include the cowboy spinning his gun in true macho style. Another excellent animation is of the cowboy boots dancing a jig.
The maximum jackpot is 500 coins (you will need 5 of the treasure chest symbols to win this) and this amounts to $125 if you're playing with a coin size of $0.25 which is the maximum possible. You can wager up to 200 coins per spin (10 per payline X 20 paylines).
This slot is great for all you cowboy and cowgirl wannabes.

News UK names Simon Collins MD, Betting & Gaming
Cashcade and Gaming Realms co-founder to drive growth across Dream Team, Sun Bingo and Sun Racing
News UK has appointed Cashcade and Gaming Realms plc founder Simon Collins to the new role of MD, Betting & Gaming.
Simon has a 25-year track record in building valuable gaming brands and businesses in the UK, across bingo, lottery, poker, mobile games and sports betting. He co-founded Cashcade, the successful online bingo business, creating and building FoxyBingo to become a leading UK brand prior to selling for £96m in 2009.
Since then, Simon has co-founded Gaming Realms plc, focused on creating gaming opportunities optimised for smartphone and tablet devices. He was instrumental in the development of Gaming Realms' real money gaming business, which was sold to River iGaming earlier this year.
In his new role, Simon will oversee the development and growth of News UK's gaming power brands, including fantasy football league Dream Team, Sun Bingo, and Sun Racing. He will report to Wireless CEO Scott Taunton, who holds executive responsibility for News UK's Betting and Gaming brands.
Tom Ustunel, The Sun's Betting & Gaming Director and Gareth Williams, Sports Commercial Partnerships Director, both report in to Simon.
Scott said: "There are few more experienced players in the online gaming space than Simon Collins. He has a history of building audiences and value around brilliant digital gaming brands. And he joins News UK as we embark on the next phase of growth around our iconic gaming brands, including Dream Team, Sun Bingo and Sun Racing."
Simon said: "I am particularly excited to take up this new role as I believe there are a number of opportunities to develop the existing business. I'm looking forward to working with what I know is a very talented team, across some of the UK's biggest brands."
Dream Team is the UK's largest commercial fantasy football game, engaging over 1.1m unique players across the World Cup and 2018/19 season. Over 80% of Dream Team customers have betting accounts.

Which Bingo Report 2019 named Sun Bingo as the most popular brand.

The free to use app is a one-stop-shop, offering the best content in a simple and accessible way.The bets are offered through an affiliate model, with Sun Racing's five partners: Betway, Coral, Ladbrokes, William Hill and Unibet.


It seems like with every transfer window, a bombshell from Barcelona follows. In summer of 2017, the Catalan club caused a stir with Paulinho signing. Almost 18 months after, a bigger surprise parcel in Kevin-Prince Boateng arrived Camp Nou from Sassuolo.
Even with Lionel Messi in his usual alien form, Barca frailties in attack beamed. Luis Suarez, too, hasn't put a foot wrong. Together with Ousmane Dembele, the trio have been impeccable in the final, burying over 50 balls.
However, the lack of depth means they've had very little rest. Malcom misses France. Philippe Coutinho spends more time watching Mohamed Salah and co on TV.
Dembele's injury against Leganes further brought Ernesto Vervelde's offense to bare bones. Something urgent had to be done.
Boateng would be the least potential candidate on the faithful's mind. The 31-year-old wouldn't care much. He is living his dream in the twilight of his career. Miracle.
There's been some touching fairytale transfers in recent time. Boateng's would perhaps ranks among the greatest. He is a 31-year-old who failed to cut at Tottenham Hotspur and continued to wandered afterwards.
In the last decade, the Ghanaian has toured four different countries, scrapping the barrels in seven clubs.
While he isn't the exquisite buy Barca fans may have craved, Boateng will solve an impending conundrum at the club which help with increasing the odds of winning when betting with Doxxbet.ng.
Although he won't start too many games, he will come in to see off games and offer some time off the likes of Messi and Suarez.
On his day, the Ghanaian is an unpredictable asset. He is quick, dynamic, physically strong and well-rounded. Those attributes comes with plenty of goals, aggression, flair and dribbling skills.
A versatile and tenacious player, his game has a particular dependence on "sheer strength, power and energy."
Lets save the last words for Italian football journalist James Horncastle.

My travel notebook as I'm writing those lines.
Two months ago, I hopped off a Greyhound bus into the town of Golden, British Columbia. In one month, I'll hit the road again. This time, I'll be headed south. Montana. Colorado. New Mexico.
But for now, here I am, sitting in the town's bakery. Just sitting. Do you do that too sometimes? Just sitting motionless and doing nothing.
For me, doing nothing is an essential part of traveling. I absolutely need to do this from time to time. Looking at people, spying on conversations. I am watching the way they look around, starting and resuming conversations. I find it fascinating. By looking into their eyes, you can tell that there's a story behind every single object around them.
They, all of them, are locals.
There's Colleen from the museum. There's Wayne from the town council. There's Stuart and Trish from the movie theater. There's Shirley who loves to write limericks. There's Samantha from the bookshop. And many others.
We all are someone else's local. I bet I too have that look when sitting in my favorite café back home and a traveler comes in. I bet that traveler too can see stories unraveling in my eyes.
Every one of us is made of a tightly-strung net of experiences. Things we've seen, heard, lived. Back home, that net may end up feeling too tight and there's a point when you've got to cut yourself loose.
That's what happened to me. I suffocated.
Right now, sitting among the town's locals, I am just a loose string. I can't really weave that feel-good, tight net around me; I'm moving way too fast. And in a way, that feels good. That feels new. That feels like freedom.
But after a while, you realize it is a fool's delusion. The very reason why I do that (do you, too?), sitting in a bakery, motionless, and doing nothing, may just be that I'm missing my net. Looking at people, spying on conversations, I start weaving a new net. Places, people, things.
What is traveling but the relentless weaving of interconnected places, people, and things?
Someone called Aristotle once said that all there is to this world, all of it, can be found in any single particular thing. The whole universe, in a simple detail. That piece of decoration, that spectacular or tacky photograph on the wall, that bottle of ketchup. They all remind you of another place, another person, another time. It does so because it interconnects with something in you.
Traveling is weaving. You cut yourself loose, you start weaving a new net in Golden, British Columbia, and then you go back home and connect that net to another net.
After a while, after many places, people, and things, you are everywhere at the same time.
Obviously, it is also a give-and-take. You also leave a piece of you everywhere you go. A thread for others to weave their net. There is something quantic about traveling. Something about being there, and not there.
After a while, after many years of going places, it feels like you're vanishing into travel, like "Travel" is an entity, like it is this ancient deity, who has been around since time immemorial, who knows better about the world, and about you, your hopes and disappointments, your inspirations and your fears. Your innards.
Once we reach Colorado or New Mexico, we'll drive back up all the way to Alaska. That's what loose strings do, right? They flutter around, sink into mud and rub off walls. Someday, eventually, they settle. They are joined by others and start weaving a net. They think about cutting themselves loose.
what an awesome article. I might never look at travel the same again.
I remember our inspiring conversation on writing. Tell me if you want to meet up in town and have coffee someday! All the best to you guys.

Norm Phelps died on December 31, 2014. An activist in the promotion of vegetarianism, veganism, and compassion for animals in spiritual traditions, he authored numerous books and articles.
He followed both the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and the Unitarian Universalist tradition — neither of which, he noted, is exclusive. But he was raised as a Baptist and a Methodist and wrote about Christianity and animals as well.
Norm's books included The Dominion of Love: Animal Rights According to the Bible (2002), The Great Compassion: Buddhism and Animal Rights (2004), and The Longest Struggle: Animal Advocacy from Pythagoras to PETA (2007), all published by Lantern Books of New York. His most recent book is Changing the Game: Animal Liberation in the Twenty-First Century, which Lantern will release in its paperback version today (the Kindle edition, with a different subtitle, was released in 2013).
He was also active in numerous organizations. He co-founded the Society of Ethical and Religious Vegetarians (SERV), and worked in and with numerous other groups, such as the Fund for Animals, the Humane Society of the United States, Compassion Over Killing, Dharma Voices for Animals, and Unitarian-Universalists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (UFETA). He engaged in a lengthy public dialogue critical of the Dalai Lama because of the Dalai Lama's eating of meat, saying "there is no principle in Buddhism more important than compassion, not even reverence for our teachers."
Perhaps he will be most immediately missed as a voice in the Unitarian-Universalist (UU) debate over animals. In 2011 he made extensive comments on the draft UU statement of conscience on "Ethical Eating," calling it "profoundly flawed." Just last fall he wrote "History Has Passed Us By: An Open Letter to My Fellow UUs on Animal Liberation." He supported the effort to change the first principle of UUs, which currently requires UUs to affirm "the inherent worth and dignity of every person," to instead affirm "the inherent worth and dignity of every being," that is, to include animals.
I wasn't close to Norm, although he knew who I was. He wrote very generous reviews of both Disciples and The Lost Religion of Jesus. We also both co-founded of The Society of Ethical and Religious Vegetarians (SERV), along with Richard Schwartz, Steve Kaufman, and a number of others.
Tributes to Norm have already appeared at Compassion Over Killing (Paul Shapiro), Animals 24-7 (Merritt Clifton), and Dharma Voices for Animals. Norm had two websites that have his writings, Animals and Ethics and NormPhelps.org. Gabe Konrad interviewed Phelps in 2004 about Buddhism; in 2013 Caryn Hartglass interviewed him about animal activism.
If you're in the DC area, Norm's wife Patti Rogers and Compassion Over Killing are sponsoring a celebration of Norm's life on January 18 in Takoma Park, Maryland. You can RSVP here at the Compassion Over Killing page for Norm Phelps.

The Most and Least Affordable Cities in America
Tuesday October 31, 2017 by Pacifica Mortgage
If you want affordable housing in one of the nation's biggest cities, Detroit's your answer. According to a recent ranking by Point2Homes, Detroit is also one of the most affordable big cities — the most, in fact – both in the U.S. and all of North America.
Where affordability reigns supreme
Point2Homes recently ranked the continent's 50 most populated cities in terms of housing affordability. Detroit came in at No. 1, with a median home sales price of $48,000 and a median income of $25,980.
Other U.S. cities on the more affordable end were Jacksonville, Florida; Indianapolis; El Paso, Texas; and Columbus, Ohio. The median sale price of a home in Jacksonville sits around $155K, while its residents make just under $50,000 a year.
North America's most expensive markets
Though Canada's Vancouver took the cake as the most unaffordable housing market in North America, plenty of U.S. cities ranked near the top, too. Manhattan took the No. 2 spot, with a median home sales price of $1.2 million. The median family income for the city is $77,559.
Cities in the Northeast and along the West Coast filled out the rest of the top 10 most unaffordable markets. San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose and San Diego, California, ranked at the top, as did New York, Boston and Seattle.
Brooklyn is particularly unaffordable, according to Point2Homes.
"Once a moderately-priced borough, Brooklyn now has a median selling price of $725,000, considerably less compared to the likes of San Francisco and Manhattan, but almost three times as much as the national median," Point2Homes reported. "And with the median household income just shy of the U.S. benchmark, Brooklyn's severely unaffordable median multiple of 13.1 secures its position among the top 5 most unaffordable U.S. markets."
