;# The validate routine takes a single multiline string consisting of

Historically high rates of antisemitic incidents and conspiracies continue to rise

https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-man-reads-the-book-to-his-daughter-6115415/
A study conducted by the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission found that Texas has seen a steady increase in antisemitic incidents in recent years.
THGAAC prepared the study for Texas' 88th legislature.
In 2022, the Anti-Defamation League reported that 2021 was the highest number of recorded antisemitic incidents. The ADL also believed that 2023 would see the trend continue to worsen. An initial survey showed an increase in common anti-Jewish tropes among Americans. In 2019, 11% of Americans believed in six or more anti-Jewish tropes, in 2022 it increased to 20% of Americans.
What can be done about the increase in antisemitic incidents and beliefs? What are activists in Texas doing to curb anti-Jewish rhetoric? How does social media play a factor in the rise of Jewish hate?

Signius Communications
The Best Answering Services of 2019
Signius Communications is our pick as the best call center for small businesses with a low volume of calls. It offers a very affordable pay-as-you-go plan, low rates, and, unlike other services, doesn't charge a setup fee.
Answering Service Features
Signius offers most of the key features we specifically looked for in an answering service. Agents are available around the clock, and its pricing plans accommodate varying levels of call volume and service requirements.
Some of Signius's most important answering services include the following:
Live answering: Signius Communications' live operators answer calls 24/7/365. Its answering service can assist your business with calls during regular business hours, as well as after-hours or overflow calls. Bilingual agents are available upon request, and the company also specializes in medical answering services.
Message taking: Signius agents can record callers' names, contact information, reason for calling and then forward the message to you via phone, email or text message.
Order taking: Agents can assist callers with purchases, explaining products in depth. Order-taking services can ensure your business doesn't miss a sales opportunity, plus it allows for valuable upsell or cross-sell opportunities.
FAQs: Signius agents can answer common questions relating to your products or services. For our hypothetical business, Signius said it would we could provide 10 FAQs for each of our three business locations.
Virtual receptionist: A virtual receptionist is a live operator who answers calls to your business after hours, or if you or your staff are unavailable. Signius virtual receptionists are available 24/7/365 to take messages and forward calls so that your callers speak with a live person, not a recording or voicemail.
There is no setup fee for basic services like live answering and message taking. If you wanted to add order taking, for example, a setup fee might be required, which could affect the per-minute usage rate. All services with Signius are month-to-month, and no long-term contracts are required. Clients can cancel at any time without penalty.
Signius's agents are shared agents who work on multiple accounts; however, they are separated based on their particular specialty. For example, some agents specialize in e-commerce skills, while others specialize in customer service. For businesses (and their customers), this approach helps assure agents are providing the appropriate level of service with your customers.
Call Center Features
Signius offers call center services that are effective but are also suitable for low-volume companies. Many call centers are focused on servicing mid-sized and large businesses, but Signius has options available for small businesses. Signius's call center services include the following:
Customer service: Signius agents can act as your company's customer service department 24/7/365. Its representatives can handle all manner of calls, including product inquiries, complaints and feedback. Customer service calls are personalized to your business, and agents use a script that is created by you in cooperation and Signius.
Help desk: Signius's helpdesk serves as an IT support center for basic troubleshooting of products and software. Signius offers up to Level 3 technical support, which means its agents can field calls and troubleshoot issues without contacting you. By comparison, many of the call centers we evaluated only offered Level 1 technical support.
Email management: Besides assisting your business with its call volume, Signius can manage your company's inbox too. It can sift through new emails, responding to many common inquiries and forwarding along emails that need further attention or a more detailed response from you.
Hotlines: Signius can assist your business with call hotlines that vary depending on your needs. These include employee call-off lines, complaint lines and a whistleblower hotline.
Signius Communications provides a client portal on its website. Here, you can drill down to learn more about all of the calls that are coming in, the type of calls, consistent inquiries and complaints, the average duration of each call, and minutes used per month. If your business operates from multiple locations, Signius' reports will provide a breakdown of usage site by site as well. All messages and call recordings are stored in the client portal, and are saved for up to one year. You can also download data in the client portal and export it to a spreadsheet.
To see all of our call center service recommendations, visit our best picks page.
Signius Communications' pricing varies significantly depending on the complexity of your business, average call volume and the services you require help with from Signius.
For basic message-taking and live-answering services, we were quoted a base rate of $40 for 50 minutes with an additional 82 cents-per-minute usage rate after the first 50 minutes are used. Signius's per-minute usage rate is competitive with other call center services we evaluated, and it allows low-volume businesses to utilize the same call center services that larger companies utilize without committing to an expensive package of minutes that wouldn't be used. Further, Signius doesn't charge a setup fee for its basic services, which also lowers the barrier to entry for smaller companies on a budget.
Plans can be upgraded or downgraded as needed. Setup fees come into play when Signius agents are required to update client CRMs or work with e-commerce applications. Costs vary based on the amount of training required. Because pricing is based on a client-by-client basis, we recommend contacting the company's sales department about your needs, as well as an estimate of your average call volume, to find out what your precise costs would be.
Signius Communications bills in 12-second increments, meaning that call time is rounded up to the nearest 12-second mark. For example, a call that lasts 1 minute and 3 seconds will be billed as 1 minute and 12 seconds, or 1.2 minutes.
Incremental billing is common in the call center and answering service industries; the industry standard is a 6-second increment, but a 12-second increment is also common. For businesses with a low volume of calls, the impact would likely be less severe, but incremental billing is still an important element to ask about and keep in mind when comparing different services.
Signius Communications is an employee-owned company, and it shows in their customer service. The customer service representative we spoke with was very friendly and informative. When he was unable to explain something, such as more details about pricing, he was transparent about why.
After our call, the representative followed up with additional materials, although they were not as thorough as documents we received from other services we evaluated for this review. Still, we came away from the conversation relatively well informed about Signius's onboarding process, services, and business model.

Mechelen, Belgium; 11 May 2010 - Galapagos NV (Euronext: GLPG) announced today that it has expanded its global multi-year strategic alliance with Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX:RHHBY) to develop potential new therapies in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The partners have increased the number of antibody targets in the alliance. In addition, these targets can now also be used as starting points for molecules consisting of nucleic acids and/or amino acids. As such, the scope of molecules subject to this alliance could potentially include also peptides, siRNA and other nucleic acids.
Galapagos and Roche started their strategic alliance in COPD in January 2010. Galapagos is applying its target discovery platform to discover novel COPD targets and is responsible for the discovery and development of new small molecule candidate drugs against these targets. Roche has an exclusive option to license each small molecule program after either clinical candidate selection or completion of Phase I clinical trials. In addition, Roche has an exclusive option to license the COPD targets for the discovery and development of antibodies against these targets. Upon exercise of each option, Roche will be responsible for the further (pre)clinical development and commercialization. Galapagos received a research access payment of €6 million from Roche upon signature of the alliance. The alliance expansion announced today has the potential to increase the total value of milestone payments Galapagos receives under this agreement by €150 million.
"We've made a good start in the alliance with Roche," said Onno van de Stolpe, CEO of Galapagos. "This is the fourth alliance that has been expanded upon the request of our pharma partners and we are particularly pleased that Roche sees the potential of our target discovery platform to identify new antibody drug targets. This expansion increases the chances of the alliance delivering a therapeutic molecule for the treatment of COPD."
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a chronic lung disease characterized by difficulty breathing and persistent coughing. COPD includes the diseases commonly referred to as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The primary causes of COPD are tobacco smoke and air pollution, which damage and irritate lung tissue, resulting in a narrowing of the airways.
COPD affects approximately 210 million people worldwide, with more than 5 million people dying of the disease each year. This number is expected to increase by more than 30% in the next ten years, due to an increase in tobacco use worldwide. Although the disease symptoms are manageable through the use of drug and oxygen therapy, there is currently no cure for COPD.


In the idealized world of architectural renderings, everything is absolutely perfect. There are no dirty windows, no rust, no clutter, no dead leaves, no mud, no rain. There are crowds, but nothing is crowded. There are cars, but there is no traffic. The scalies dropped into these polished scenes are as happy as can be—why wouldn't they be? Every day is spent walking hand-in-hand down a boardwalk with a loved-one giggling about a Jeff Koons sculpture over there. Life is good, they think, as fireworks explode behind them. Life is good.
When you spend as much time as we do here at AN sifting through these highly-planned digital worlds, some trends start to appear over and over. Here's a sample of what we see again and again.
Next: Fireworks. In the U.S., fireworks happen once, maybe twice, a year—on the Fourth of July and possibly New Years Eve. In the rendering world, fireworks seem to go off every day. It's Monday, boom! It's Tuesday, boom! The local little league team won the game, boom! Larry won the kayak regatta, boom! Boom, boom, boom. Naturally, these fireworks only occur at night—which is one of three distinct times seen in renderings. The other two are dawn and dusk—excuse me, twilight. For comparison, the real world has multiple times of day, which are broken into 24 unique hours.
Birds. Yes, renderings are crowded with birds. Typically it's a bunch of seagulls and a crane or two to show attention to natural habitat.
There are also butterflies—genetically mutated, gigantic, monster butterflies.
For the birds' well being, the lack of weather is a very good thing—it helps them better avoid the airborne dangers in the rendered skies. The primary threat is, of course, those constant fireworks, but there is plenty to keep them on edge during dawn and twilight.
Hot Air Balloons. The chief concern for birds during the day are hot air balloons—or, as they're known in renderings: kayaks of the sky. Scalies just love tooling around in hot air balloons. Can't get enough of 'em, really.
Second to hot air balloons are regular balloons. Fun Fact: Kids in renderings are always either going to, or leaving, a birthday party where there was at least one clown. In extreme cases, when a little scalie is not invited to one of these parties, they can be found at the park with a kite. Don't feel bad for the little one, he or she will be just fine. It's almost twilight again and his or her parents are about to return from the water's edge with ice cream cones and life-jackets. You know what that means, it's time to kayak back home.
But what does the future hold? Drones. Much like the real world, the rendered world could see plenty of those flying robots. They just better watch out for all of the fireworks, hot air balloons, birds, and kites. It's a dangerous, glossy world out there.

Olauda Equiano Enlightenment Into Christianity
Categories: ChristianityOlaudah equiano
Because of literacy writers, Olaudah Equiano and Phillis Wheatley were able to familiarize themselves with the percepts of Christianity which lead them to their religious enlightenment and conversion to Christianity. Equiano reconcile to be "a first rate Christian" and his change to Christianity illustrates the ability of Africans to become Christians. Similarly, one of Wheatley's poems on salvation was particularly on her conversion to Christianity, as a result of her surviving the infamous middle passage from Africa to America. These two writers have similarities on using their Christian conversion and Christian beliefs to argue against slavery.
" Olauda Equiano Enlightenment Into Christianity "
As a Christian convert, Equiano talks to his audience directly and on equal terms before God who does not discriminate or enslave people based on physical features like skin color or country of origin. He explains his didacticism by his observation that "the complexion of the same person vary indifferent climates, it is hoped may tend to remove the prejudice that some conceive against the native of Africa on account of their skin color" (Equiano, p.
Proficient in: Christianity
124). He offered a reasoned argument which contrasts his own perception of a loving God with those of his white Christian contemporaries, and he pressed hard queries up on readers to force them to confront real issues of man's inhumanity to man:
Are there not enough to which the apparent inferiority of an African maybe ascribed, without limiting the goodness of God, and supposing he forbore to stamp understanding on what is certainly his own image, because "carved in ebony.
" Might it not naturally be ascribed to their situation? When they come among Europeans, they are ignorant of their language, religion, manners, and customs. Are any pains taken to teach them these? Are they treated as men? Does not slavery itself depress the mind, and extinguish all its fire and every noble sentiment? (Equiano, p.124).
These pointed remarks posit Equiano's essential claim against his readers' western spiritual and cultural mores. His hard questions were designed to force them to do critical self examination and to evaluate their actions against their proposed Christian values. How could they possibly engage in and permit the vile treatment of African slave? It was inconceivable to him that such duplicity could exist within self proclaimed Christians. The hypocrisy inherent in this was clear to Equiano and he wanted his readers to see their hypocrisy for themselves. He denounced their participation in slavery, and chastised them for their complacency, but he also empathetically recognized their ignorance due to their lack of information. He educated them, for example by clarifying for them why Africans appear uncivilized and pagan by western standards.
He then emphasized his point by comparing them with a mirror image of his white readers' ancestors: "what advantage do a refined people posses over those who are rude and uncivilized? Let the polished and haughty European recollect that his ancestors were once, like the Africans, uncivilized, and even barbarous. Did nature make the inferior to their sons? And should they too have been made slaves? Every rational mind answers, No" (Equiano, p.124). this was not only effective rhetorically; it was a brilliant norming strategy that leveled the plain between Equiano as a black African, and his readers as white Europeans. It also suggested his strongly held belief that he had a more authentic, nonduplicitous comprehension of God than those white individuals who claimed by divine right to be superior to Africans. He located his own profound reality and faith in a religion that was dear to him not only because it helped him to cope with the atrocities he had endured, but it also gave him a spiritual base from which to fight for justice for his people.
Phillis Wheatley overcame extreme obstacles, such as racism and sexism, to become one of the most acclaimed poets in the 18th century. Her works are characterized by religious and moral backgrounds, which are due to the extensive education of religion she received. Her poems often deal with Christian ideals and beliefs. Christianity being a safe topic for a slave woman was used as her lens to strategically look into racial inequality. Although she is not beating anyone over the head with verses from the bible, she is writing her own verse about the powerful effect of faith that changed her soul, and how that change could be reflected across all souls and here on earth too. Wheatley makes an argument throughout her poem "on being brought from Africa to America", that she has been saved by the mercy of the Christian God and that if she can be saved, then all Christians can be saved. That means, slave or free, black or white, they are all equal on "the angelic train."
Even though she was later criticized for defending the slave trade as a means of civilizing Africans brought to America. However, further reflection to upon the poem shows that its true intension is to move the reader to think more soberly and candidly. Her conversion to Christianity parallels her transition from Africa to America, and while it becomes a source for her belief that all people are equal spiritually, she urges Christians to truly follow their Christian principles. Moreover, the use of Christian imagery allows the speaker to discuss racial inequality in her aim to defuse assumption about race differences. Wheatley's poem is not a destination it's a journey filled with angels, Pagans and Cain, which she uses to express her conversion to Christianity. All board the angelic train! Through several mentions of Christian themes, Wheatley uses the Christian promise of salvation as an argument for equality in life.
For enslaved Africans the struggle for freedom began at the very moment of their capture. The story of those who worked tirelessly to end slavery cannot be told without giving due prominence to black abolitionist like Olaudah Equiano and Phillis Wheatley. Equiano challenged his readers to see the hypocrisy that was happening within the white Christians and that in Gods eyes, that don't see color or physical features, we are all the same. Wheatley also encouraged her readers to open their minds and see that all board the angelic train! Black, white, slaves or free. These two writers went through a lot of pain and obstacles to finally be set free. And using their Christian beliefs and biblical verses, they argued to fight against the injustice that was happening against the white Christians during their era to free their people.

"The grave is one wrong step away.
Centuries ago, Heinrich Kramer was a witch hunter. Now, every All Hallows Eve, he takes physical form to torture innocent women before burning them alive. This year, however, a determined Cat and Bones must risk all to send him back to the other side of eternity--forever. But how do you kill a killer who's already long dead?"
This will have spoilers for this novel and the last books so read with caution.
At the end of the last book, we were left with the information that the under world war that the ghoul leader had been rallying up to had been put to a halt and that Don, Cats uncle was now a ghost.
In this book we learn that though Tate was to replace Don in command of the branch of Homeland Security that guarded humans against the rouge undead; we have a new man in the picture, Jason Madigan. Right off I have to say I knew I wouldn't like him. Don also knows who he is and starts to hang around him to see why he is really there.
I really liked this line of plot but I have to say that in the end I felt like there should have been more to complete it instead of what we was left with in the end. Hopefully it will be more centered in the next book.
Our main plot of the book though is a ghost, Heinrich Kramer, who used to be a witch hunter and now on every year on Halloween he has a physical body, kidnaps three women he perceives as witches and burns them at the stake. This year though Cat and Bones plans to put and end to him when they learn about him from a ghost friend of Fabian's.
I would recommend this novel to anyone who has read the first books.


Every encounter with a person or a place has the potential to change us completely. The person who changed my way of seeing, as a photographer, was Robert Clarke-Davis. I was lucky enough to have spent moments wandering with him in Chicago and San Francisco, watching him imperceptibly take photos. And, he sent me camera equipment and photographs of his to look at, nearly every week, for years. My eyes perceive the world differently because of him.
This video also reminds me that one of the best ways to learn something is to just be in the PRESENCE of a master, and listen, wait, watch. No books, no classroom, no tests. Then, if you don't want to be a schmuck, get a camera...any camera.

lotus in chinese name
It is one of the biggest varieties of Lotus flowers, in fact, the flower can reach up to 15 … The picture of a man on a boat surrounded by lotus blossoms is writer and philosopher Zhou Dun-yi (1017 to 1073) who liked the flower. Nymphaeaceae). The list of lotus we have available this year are many. It is 30 km (19 mi) from the city of Guangzhou proper and 60 nautical miles from Hong Kong. [26] Regarding production area in China, rhizome lotus has the largest area with 200,000 ha (490,000 acres), followed by seed lotus with 20,000 ha (49,000 acres).

The All-Asian Women's Conference (AAWC) was a women's conference convened in Lahore in January 1931. It was the first pan-Asian women's conference of its kind.  Dominated by Indian organizers, "the AAWC was a vehicle for Indian women to voice their ideas and vision of an Indian-centred Asia". Its predecessor, the All Indian Women's Conference (AIWC), aimed to examine areas of education and legislation to improve the position of women.  Like the AIWC, the AAWC aimed to expand this agenda in order to include women in Asia's vision for independence.

Background
Margaret Cousins and the Indian activists who had taken part in the 1927 All Indian Women's Conference were the minds behind the AAWC. Upon moving to India with her husband, Margaret Cousins became involved with social reform on the position of women in India.  Her inspiration for founding the AAWC was ignited by her visit to Hawaii in 1928 at the Pan-Pacific Women's Association. The motives behind the conference were the lack of focus on feminism within the Pan-Asian context.  and also supported the right to self-determination, as many delegates were involved with their country's independence movements.  This took place in a broader global context of new internationalism within the interwar period. The early 1930s saw other non-Western feminist regional cooperation, such as the Pan-Pacific Women's Association, Inter-American Commission of Women and All Indian Women's Conference.

The conference was chosen to take place in Lahore to allow the delegates to sightsee in nearby Agra and Delhi.  Circular invitations among Indian women for the AAWC were sent on March 12, 1930, to suggest that the conference take place in January 1931. Invited delegates included Sarojini Naidu, Muthulakshmi Reddi, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, Lady Abdul Qadir, Rani Lakshmibai Rajwade and Hilla Rustomji Faridoonji. These women were mostly past delegates of the All-Indian Women's Conference and dedicated social activists to women's issues.The date was picked to strategically take place in between "two of the Pan-Pacific Women's Conferences planned for Hawaii in August 1930 and China in 1932".  After creating the grounds for the conference, Cousins took a step back to let the Indian women "preside over the organisation" of the conference.

Thirty Asian countries were invited to the AAWC, including Georgia, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Malaya, Indo-China, Siam and Hawaii. There were a total of 36 delegates present: 19 from the 30 Asian countries invited and 17 Indian delegates, as well as nine foreign visitors, including Margaret Cousins. These delegates were ready to begin a discourse on women roles in social and political issues.  Some of these issues were reflected in the recommendations made from the All Indian Women's Conference, such as the need to have a larger number of seats reserved for Indian women graduates on the senates of all Indian universities.  Sarajoni Naidu was initially voted as President of the Conference and is well known for her friendship with Mahatma Gandhi. Naidu, however, was arrested in May 1930 for her "role in the Indian nationalist civil disobedience movement."  As a result, each session of the conference was presided over by different Presidents. These Presidents included Sirimavo Bandaranaike from Ceylon, Mrs. Kamal-ud-din from Afghanistan, Daw Mya Sein from Burma, Shirin Fozdar from Persia and Miss Hoshi from Japan.

The Rani of Mandi, daughter to ruler the Maharani of Kapurthala, laid the groundwork for the conference in her opening speech, as quoted below: "Living practically under identical conditions, sharing the good or ill effects of similar customs and traditions and cramped psychology, and actuated in an equal measure by a longing for a change for what may be described as the renaissance of the women of Asia, no organization existed for them to come together, to exchange ideas and devise measures for achieving their common aims and objects. This Conference, I need scarcely point out, is designed to provide such a medium, a nucleus for the regeneration of our womankind on an intellectual bias."

Participants
In the early months of 1930, circular invitations for the All Asian Women Conference were sent to more than 300 country representatives, women's rights organizations and activists in thirty-three countries.  Countries such as Georgia, Palestine, Iraq, Syria as well as Malaya, Indo-China, Siam, and Hawaii were invited. However, only nineteen delegates from these invitations participated, representing Afghanistan, Burma, Ceylon, Japan, Persia and Iraq.  Delegates from countries such as Palestine, Pakistan, Russia, Nepal, and Syria completed the registration to attend but withdrew prior to the conference for multiple reasons such as illness, conflicts in schedules and denied visas. In addition, two delegates from Java participated at the conference as visitors after withdrawing their status as delegates. In addition to the government representatives and organizations, private individuals were also able to register for the conference as either delegates or visitors. Moreover, non-Asian women from countries such as the United States, New Zealand, Ireland, and Great Britain were also present as visitors.

Key Figures and their Roles

Margaret Cousins

Margaret Cousins was one of the key driving forces and organizers of the first All-Asian Women conference. She was a member of the Irish Suffrage Movement and therefore, developed a strong passion for social reform and improving the position of Indian women after moving to India in 1915.  In the late 1910s and 1920s, she was involved in movements and campaigns for women's rights such as demanding equal suffrage rights for women.

After participating in the 1928 Pan-Pacific Women's Association (PPWA) conference in Hawaii, Cousins got the inspiration for organizing a similar conference for solidarity among women in Asia. Cousins believed that there was a lack of spiritual consciousness and a need for preservation of the "oriental" qualities of Asia and therefore Asian women must meet to become self-conscious. She started sending out letters in December 1929 to propose her idea and persuade other women from India and various other parts of Asia to join her. In her letters, she proposed that Indian women take the lead for this conference as they had already had an experience with the All-Indian Women conference. Although she was the prominent figure for initiating the AAWC, she wanted the Asian women, mainly Indian women, to take charge and further supervise the organization.

Rameshwari Nehru

Rameshwari Nehru was a women's rights activist and spent her early career as a social reformer. After hearing about the AAWC, she became very active at the conference and its organization.  After attending the conference, Nehru became one of the founders of a Permanent Committee and aimed to continue organizing Asian Women's Conferences in the future. This committee, however, disbanded soon after and remained inactive until Nehru's Asianist activities in the 1950s.

May Oung
May Oung, also known as Daw Mya Sein, attended the AAWC at Lahore to represent Burma and presided over a session. Oung was appointed secretary of the Liaison Committee at the AAWC and was on the committee from 1931 to 1933. She previously had the experience of being an executive of the National Council of Women in India as their Burmese member. In July 1931, Margaret Cousins selected her to represent the AAWC at the League of Nations on a Women's Consultative Committee on Nationality.

Sarojini Naidu
Sarojini Naidu was a very active women's rights advocate and social reformer. After a postal vote, she was appointed as the President of the All-Asian Women Conference. Before the conference, however, she was sent to jail in May 1930 for her role in Salt March, the Indian Nationalist Civil Disobedience Movement. In the absence of Sarojini Naidu, Bandaranaike (Ceylon), Kamal-ud-din (Afghanistan), Oung (Burma), Fozdar (Persia) and Hoshi (Japan) presided over events in addition to two Indian women, Muthulakshmi Reddi and Shareefah Hamid Ali.

Conference Objectives
Prior to the conference, the transnational and global organizing of women mainly focused on Euro-American-centric organizations. There was no organization that provided room for Asian women from different countries to convene and discuss means of achieving common aims and objectives, despite having similar social contexts.  Established political groupings made it such that interactions between Asian women and Asian cultures were limited. The East-West (colonized-colonizer) relationship transcended as the main means of sharing information. The AAWC placed the feminist conversation within a pan-Asian context, moving it away from western centers.  They had an aim of changing the discourse regarding Asian womanhood and recreating images of "the Orient" by creating a "counterdiscourse to the feminist Orientalist."

The conference had 6 main objectives which sought to:

 "To promote the consciousness of unity amongst the women of Asia, as members of a common Oriental culture,
 "To take stock of the qualities of Oriental civilization so as to preserve them for national and world service,
 "To review and seek remedies for the defects at present apparent in Oriental civilization,
 "...sift[ing] what is appropriate for Asia from the Occidental influences,
 "To strengthen one another by exchange of data and experiences concerning women's conditions in the respective countries of Asia,
 "To achieve world peace."

The first three objectives closely mirrored the pan-Asian vision promoted by Rabindranath Tagore during his travels to the United States and Asia.  Tagore wrote a letter to the All-Asian Women's Conference, highlighting the importance of having women bring Asia to the world and aid in enriching world culture through the "consolidation of the cultural consciousness of the Orient." The speakers at the conference highlighted the preconceived ideas of what constitutes as Asian womanhood such as peacefulness, devotion to one's family, obedience and so forth.  To move away from these domestic characteristics, the achievements of Asian women outside the submissive household context were greatly highlighted. Many of the conference attendees viewed patriarchy to be the root cause of the oppression of women. Hence, applause was given to women who had better status than men in the society, were in charge of decision making, had the ability divorce men etc.

The last three objectives sought to highlight the positioning of Asian women internationally. Some delegates criticized the influence of Western ideas on their societies and argued that Western attitudes undermined Middle Eastern and Asian cultural values.  This highlighted the detachment that some of these Asian feminists felt from their Western counterparts. Other delegates, however, saw utility in not completely rejecting Western influence, but rather, choosing based on what fit the Asian, such as dressing, Western education and even cinema.  The importance of the collection of data on the political, economical and religious statuses of women was also emphasized.  This would allow for the cross-referencing of women's conditions worldwide. The last objective was common across all women's organizations across the world, such as the International Council of Women and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. The promotion of world peace became important for many women's organizations during the First World War, the interwar period and the Second World War. This responsibility was extended to Asia with it being a "continent renowned for its love and peace."  There was a general consensus among the conference participants that asserting an Asian identity and adopting the notion of Asian sisterhood did not depend on them giving up their national identity.

Reactions
The conference was highlighted on a number of media platforms both in India and internationally. The American women's paper, Equal Rights, stated that it was "attended by outstanding women from every country in Asia", however, failed to emphasize the fact that it lacked equal representation.  They also reported that there is a "striking similarity" in the problems that "confront the women in the East and the West."

The Indian Magazine and Review, edited by Jessie Duncan Westbrook for the National Indian Association, a British organization for people interested in India, supported the conference by having its preview inspired by the circular of invitation of AAWC. It focused on the term 'Oriental Women' and said that it was inspired by various western relationships. It also suggested that the women of Asia should continue to meet together to discuss their unique problems and by recognizing their "fundamental difference from women of other lands", should come to solve their difficulties.  The editor of L'Oeuvre and Pax International also reported the conference after it took place.

AAWC also received support from a number of Western organizations. This included the League of Nations, the Whitley Labour Commission, the Women's International Council (London Branch), New Zealand and Indian Welfare League.

The conference also gained acknowledgment and applause from men around the globe as well as the host nation. For instance, Sir Abdul Qadir, who was a guest at the conference, remarked it as "an epoch-making event." Honourable Sadar Sir Jogendra Singh, the Minister of Agriculture, expressed "I know of no parallel in the history of the world of such a movement as this Women's Conference representing the whole of Asia."

The focus of the conference was also recognized and adopted by Jawaharlal Nehru in his nation building policies. He believed in the common Asian history of civilization and embraced in his actions towards his objective of establishing India as the new center of pan-Asian unity.

Outcomes and Accomplishments
AAWC aimed to discuss the common social and political concerns of women in Asia as well as speak about the visions of pan-Asianism. The conference was proud to have had Indian women play the central role of drawing Asian women together.  It was not aimed to be political.  With the initiative, the conference organizers also received letters from a variety of women nationalists, feminist activists and social workers who were keen to attend, including Madam Mahomed Jamil Begum from Syria, Madame Nour Hamad the President of the Women's Arabian Conference, the Palestine Jewish Women's Equal Rights Association, the Nepali Ladies' Association.

AAWC was successful in passing a main resolution, which sought to gain support for the reform for equality of nationality rights for married women. At the time, there was no uniform international law regarding the nationality of married women. Some women would gain the nationality of their husbands, while others would not, thus finding themselves without any citizenship from either birth or marriage. The support pushed to allow a woman to choose her nationality. This resolution also helped Asian women to gain recognition from the West, by them acknowledging that Feminism is not exclusively European or American.

They also passed a number of other resolutions that focused on social and political equality. It included the retention of "the high spiritual consciousness that has been the fundamental characteristic of the people of Asia throughout the millennia."

Another resolution stated that the lives and teaching of great religious leaders should be taught in schools. Other resolutions favoured free and primary compulsory education; abolition of child marriage; more money to be spent on health schemes; limited temperance schemes; to rescue adult and child from vice; to regulate labour conditions and to ensure equality of status for men and women. The other two favoured national self-determination and world peace.

The conference also ended with the setup for a permanent committee and it was decided that a second conference will be held in either Japan and Java in 1935. The Indian members of the Conference kept meeting annually until 1936 to discuss the desire to have a broader representation and hold the next conference. This execution of the plan kept getting postponed.

However, in 1932, the committee had a collaboration with the  Oriental Women's Conference at Tehran with the All India Women's Conference (AIWC) with the hope to have more Asian Women's Conferences. In 1934, the committee grew into a large but short-lived "All Asia Committee" with 50 members from across India. The All Asian Women's Conference received official representation through a permanent delegate to the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship in Geneva. When this alliance held its 12th congress in Istanbul in 1935, the Asian Committee sent a vocal delegation whose presence did not escape the attending press. However, a second All Asia Women's Conference failed to materialize as many members, including the former host, India got busy with their domestic and international affairs.

A cool little shop nestled at the bottom of East Street recently caught our eye. Being curious types, we popped in to take a look around and see what all the fuss was about. What greeted us was an epic emporium of beer that would make Homer Simpson very happy indeed.
With over 300 different varieties of beer sourced from all over the world, Bison Beer was founded by Nick Vardy and Jack Cregan who wanted to join in with the craft beer revolution and enable Brighton folk to sample a huge array of beers with names like Hip Hop (our favourite), Dirty Stop Out and Big Wave, as well as their very own growlers.
Growlers originate from the US and contain 64oz of beer (around three and a half pints). You can choose from different in-house draught beers on tap and take it away in your growler. They'll also let you try before you buy, which we will be taking full advantage of next time we visit. It seems you have to have a beard to work here (obvs), but not to drink here, so hop along soon and get your beer fix.

Today, the Congress repeated its claim that it will not allow anyone to revoke Article 370 and stated any such attempt will be considered as a direct attack on the constitution of India. The matter is the center of debate during the election season. The constitution provision aims to provide special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Senior party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the declaration of BJP to remove Article 370 may cause serious consequences. "BJP says that they will remove Article 370. It's an attempt to tamper with the constitution of India. Only a dictator can tamper with the constitution of India. BJP must understand that this provision of the constitution has connected Kashmir with the rest of the country and they should know the consequences if Article 370 is removed," said Mr. Azad.
"I would like to assure people of Kashmir that as long as Congress is alive, we will not allow Article 370 to be taken out of the constitution," the Congress leader added. Mr. Azad is the first senior leader of any national party and campaigner in the South Kashmir constituency. In the South Kashmir, the polling is scheduled to be in three phases for one parliament constituency which is considered to be the first time in Indian history.
"This explains incapability of present government at the national level. Things have gone bad to worse under BJP rule in Kashmir," said Mr. Azad. He said that as Chief Minister of the state, he had declared South Kashmir as terrorism-free in 2007. "Also when Omar Abdullah was Chief Minister till 2014, militancy was a thing of past," he said.
According to him, the BJP is trying to cause communal polarisation for votes. "It's exactly like what the British were doing. Dividing society and making people fight against each other," he said.

I Never Had a Choice: My Lifelong Struggle With Polio
Cathy Casares Reynolds Patient Safety Authority
In 1921 on Campobello Island, Franklin D. Roosevelt began his legacy, not as the 32nd president of the United States nor as the man who would lead the Allied nations to victory over Nazi Germany, but as the most famous survivor of polio.
While on vacation at his family's home in New Brunswick, Canada, FDR's legs became progressively weaker, and by the third day, they could no longer support his weight. After several misdiagnoses, he eventually discovered he had contracted infantile paralysis, i.e., polio. As the name suggests, the disease typically presents during infancy, and most children develop immunity before they turn 5; however, for those who are afflicted, polio can cause lifelong paralysis or death.
Long before COVID-19, polio was the most feared disease in the world. In 1952 alone, before a polio vaccine was available, almost 60,000 American children were infected, thousands were paralyzed, and more than 3,000 perished. Three years later, the United States began widespread inoculation for polio, and by 1979, it had been eradicated across the country.
Since then, the vaccine has been so effective, some have begun to question its necessity. Few people today know someone personally who has been stricken with this horrific disease. No longer is polio what took the life of a loved one or left a neighbor unable to walk. Polio is now a theoretical concept, and the hundreds of thousands of lives taken or disabled have been distilled to "why FDR was in a wheelchair."

Construction of the main structure for City's first independent hospital completed
Media Centre Hospitals Nuffield Health News
Completion of the main structure for Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew's hospital has been marked with a topping out ceremony
The City's very first independent hospital will feature 48 bedrooms, four state-of-the-art operating theatres and 28 consultation rooms, and will specialise in cardiology, cardiac surgery, oncology and orthopaedics, as well as other surgical and medical specialties when it opens in spring 2021. The £65million building will also provide physiotherapy and diagnostics, and will complement our 35 consumer fitness and wellbeing clubs, 63 on-site corporate gyms and 150 GPs in our catchment area, which will refer patients to the new hospital.
We have partnered with Barts Health NHS Trust, leasing the former pathology and residential staff quarters buildings, to give patients access to some of the most experienced and skilled consultants in the world, supported by cutting-edge technology in comfortable, welcoming surroundings providing access to a wealth of great resources.
Since works began, archaeologists from the Museum of London have examined the historic site in detail and preparatory works have been undertaken. The two original buildings were demolished with the exception of the façade of the former pathology building – made famous as the launch pad for the feigned suicide leap by the eponymous detective played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC's Sherlock series – which has been retained.
The matching Portland stone being used to build the new facades was selected to reflect the historic importance of the site and its surroundings; it is essentially the same stone used by James Gibbs in 1738-69 to construct the adjacent Grade 1 Listed St Bartholomew's Square, and by Sir Christopher Wren before that in many of his famous London churches.
Reviving the two buildings to create state-of-the-art 21st century medical facilities, whilst retaining the grand facade of the pathology building and working on a site constrained by other historic buildings which make up the hospital founded in 1123, is a complex engineering project but the construction remains on schedule.
Maxine Estop Green, our Hospital Director, said: "It is always something to celebrate when you reach this stage of a major build, particularly with a project as complex as this one.
"The history of the site and the constrained space in which the team have had to work have presented significant challenges but it has been a delight to mark the completion of the main build which means we are on schedule to open the City's first independent hospital next spring."
Kier's Louisa Finlay said: "We were thrilled to celebrate the topping out and reach this key project milestone at Nuffield Health, St Bartholomew's Hospital. This project builds on our expertise in delivering state-of-the-art healthcare and diagnostic facilities and we are proud to work in partnership with Nuffield Health to deliver the first independent hospital in the City of London."

Q: AWS Amplify and importing Lambda Layers in Python gives module not found error How does one import the assets of a shared lambda layer?  Following this, I have created the lambda layer, added shared code to the layer. added the layer to a function. now in the lambda function that is using the layer, how do you use the files dropped in the opt folder of the layer created? The documentation says you can look for files in the opt path of the lambda layer. But what if there are multiple lambda layers? How do you narrow the opt path down to the specific layer?
EDIT
My new folder structure as below. I am trying to call the common shared utility class called my_utils in the file myClass.py from Index.py and have dropped the layer function file in both site-packages folder as well as the opt folder
app-root
  -amplify
     -backend
        -function
          -myLayer
            -lib\python\lib\python3.8\site-packages\myClass.py
            -opt\myClass.py
  -amplify
     -backend
        -function
          -myFunction
            -Index.py

Below are the various combinations I tried for importing in my calling handler Index.py
from myClass import my_utils
import myClass
import my_utils

With the above arrangements and import statements, I am still getting a ModuleNotFoundError

A: From the documentation about lambda layers.
"Layers are applied in the order that's specified, merging any folders with the same name."
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html
Importing python layers shown here: https://adhorn.medium.com/getting-started-with-aws-lambda-layers-for-python-6e10b1f9a5d
layer 1
def foo():
  print('I am from layer 1')
  return 1

layer 2
def bar():
  print('I am from layer 2')
  return 1

Then just import the function from the layers like so. It doesn't matter where they are.
actual function
import foo
import bar

In order for the imports to work correctly, make sure you put your layers in an opt/python directory and zip up the contents. I got this information from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54796202/5647552
Note:
The order of the different layers is not important unless you have layers with the same function name in them. Like if two layers were exporting the same function: foo(), then the order will dictate which one you import in your actual function.
