Grito de Dolores: The Languages of Mexico
With today being Grito de Dolores, the day marking the start of Mexican War of Independence, we'll be having a look at the languages spoken in Mexico. Grito de Dolores, meaning "the Cry of Dolores", was effectively a declaration, or pronunciamiento in Spanish.
It would take 11 years before this was signed.
The declaration was made in the small town of Dolores Hidalgo, which is now known as Dolores Hidalgo Cuna de la Independencia Nacional, meaning Dolores Hidalgo Cradle of National Independence. Dolores Hidalgo is now home to over 50,000 people, and though it is obviously not the capital of Mexico, that being Mexico City, it is incredibly important in Mexican history.
As you probably know, the Mexicans were fighting for independence from Spain. The Spaniards had brought many of their customs and conventions to the Mexico, including their language. Spanish is spoken by nearly 93% of the population of Mexico, but don't fool yourself into thinking Mexico is a linguistic wasteland.
Mexico is home to 68 indigenous languages, all of which are considered Amerindian. However, the classification of languages as Amerindian is somewhat controversial as this even includes various language families and even language isolates.
Mexico has the second-largest number of speakers of indigenous languages in the Americas after Peru. However, as a percentage of the population the figure appears surprisingly low.
The most widely-spoken of Mexico's indigenous languages is Nahuatl, which is spoken natively by more than a million Mexicans and 1.5 million people across the globe. Nahuatl was the language spoken by the Aztecs since around the 7th century.
Comalcalco, a Mayan archaeological site.
Yucatec Maya, known natively as Màaya t'àan, is a Mayan language spoken by over 700,000 people in Mexico. The Mayan languages were and are spoken by the Maya people who are generally distributed across southern Mexico and northern Central America.
Mexico's third-largest indigenous language, Mixtec, has around 400,000 speakers in Mexico, particularly in the states of Oaxaca, Puebla, and Guerrero. Mixtec speakers can also be found in the American state of California, but in very low numbers.
Zapotec languages are spoken by just under half a million people and are found in a similar distribution to Mixtec languages. In addition to the states of Oaxaca, Puebla, and Guerrero, Zapotec languages are also spoken to some degree in the state of Veracruz.
There are of course many, many more languages in Mexico, far too many to have in today's post. However, we hope we've given you a quick idea of the linguistic landscape of one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the Americas.

Provincial Pride
How Southland Won The Hawke Cup
On Sunday 11 March 2018, Southland reclaimed the Hawke Cup; the trophy which they were the inaugural holders of back in 1911
On July 18th 1910, the New Zealand Cricket Council received a letter from the Auckland Cricket Association offering a shield for cricket competition from Lord Hawke. With a strong link to New Zealand forged by the visit of a team in his name during the 1902-03 season, Hawke's offer was met favourably by the Council, although they asked for proof of the offer before accepting.
In that letter, it was confirmed that the new trophy – a cup, rather than a shield – would be presented to the NZCC for competition among the "second class districts". The response to Lord Hawke noted that the "kindly thought which prompted you to help cricket along out here in such a substantial manner, has been very highly appreciated, and commented upon by every cricketer in the Dominion."
Each of the districts who met the criteria were immediately informed of the new silverware and asked to consider how it should first be awarded, with the Council taking the position that it should be determined by a ballot. Although some, like Southland, agreed, the Council eventually decided that the inaugural competition would see the winner among North Island teams play the winner of the South Island teams to be the first holder of the Hawke Challenge Cup.
TEAMS INVITED TO ENTER INAUGURAL HAWKE CUP
North Taranaki
Poverty Bay
The knockout opening rounds were drawn with five North Island and two South Island teams having entered. Southland's entry was sent to the NZCC on November 3rd 1910 with their secretary, Thomas Nisbet, noting that Invercargill could offer good accommodation to travelling teams and that their club pitches were in "pretty decent order".
With entries confirmed, negotiations took place to arrange matches. For Southland and South Canterbury, those negotiations were fairly cordial – both sides happy to play on neutral turf in Dunedin so long as the gate takings were divided between the two associations.
Following the first match in Hawke Cup history – played in December 1910 between Manawatu, the winners, and Wairarapa – Southland and South Canterbury met at Carisbrook on January 2nd 1911. The first three innings were dominated by the ball as Jack Doig took 5 wickets for Southland, Leslie O'Callaghan claimed 7 for South Canterbury, and Arthur Poole took another 5 – including a hat-trick – for Southland. O'Callaghan couldn't repeat his first innings heroics with McNeece (whose first name has been lost in the records) hitting 66 for Southland to lead them to a 5-wicket win.
With only two teams contesting the Cup in the South Island, Southland then had a long wait to see who their opponent would be. Although they wrote to the NZCC several times to try and lock in a date and venue, they were told to wait until their opponent had been determined.
The North Island final pitted Rangitikei against South Taranaki at Wanganui. Rangitikei's #11, Brungar Signall, top-scored with 70 as his side won by an innings and 13 runs.
After some negotiation – Rangitikei initially suggested playing the final in Wellington, Southland wanted it played slightly later – the match to contest the Hawke Cup for the first time was played at Christchurch's Hagley Oval on March 13th and 14th 1911. The match offered a sharp turnaround for the southerners, having finished a match against Otago in Invercargill on March 10th.
Southland showed no ill-effects of their travel, however, as James Bannerman and captain, Don Hamilton put on 70 for the second wicket. Although another batsman fell quickly after Bannerman went for 40, Edward Kavanagh joined his captain Hamilton in a partnership of 108 for the fourth wicket. Their stand saw Hamilton reach his century, and Southland reach 200 – a record for the province. Soon after the pair's partnership ended, Kavanagh reached his 50 which saw him rewarded with a new bat, promised by a keen supporter of the side.
After posting 345 in 89 overs, Bannerman backed up his batting effort with the new ball, claiming six for 20 as Rangitikei could only muster 74 in reply. Asked to follow on, Rangitikei stood tall in their second innings, largely thanks to George Marshall who hit 166. He was well-supported by a man who must've been mounting a good argument for a promotion: Brungar Signall, again batting at 11, hit 38. Bannerman, who would be killed in World War I six years later, claimed another 5-wicket bag as Rangitikei hit 351 to set Southland just 81 to win.
Hamilton's fine game with the bat continued in the second innings as he opened and made 29* while Poole came in after two early wickets and made 40*. Southland won by 8 wickets and became the first holders of the Hawke Cup.
The Southland Times was, understandably, effusive in its praise,
"The fine all-round performance of the team of Southland cricketers which has so decisively settled Rangitikei's claim to hold possession of the Hawke Cup is certainly something to enthuse over, and the members of the team are deserving of the congratulations which are being bestowed on them from all sides."
At 9am the following morning, Nelson's challenge for the Hawke Cup was forwarded to the New Zealand Cricket Council. At 1pm, South Canterbury's came in. The newly minted trophy had stirred interest in the provinces at its first outing.
There was some anxiety to follow with Nisbet, in a letter of thanks to the NZCC, writing,
"Have you obtained delivery of the "Cup" yet? We are very anxious to make its acquaintances."
By May the Cup was in the hands of Southland, necessitating another letter of thanks from the Association,
"The "Hawke Cup" came to hand in due course, in good order & naturally we are very much pleased to be the first holders of it."
With the Cup in the handers of its inaugural holders, it became a challenge trophy as per its original rules and in line with the Plunket Shield at the time. This saw just one match played in the 1911-12 season as Southland easily held off a challenge from South Canterbury in Invercargill. The NZCC, however, weren't happy that their shiny new trophy wasn't being more broadly played for and made changes to the regulations, removing the challenge process.
For Southland, that meant handing the trophy back, something that they were none too happy about. In response, they wrote to the Council asking to be permitted to contest the Plunket Shield, something that had been suggested within the local community before the Hawke Cup changes. They were granted the right to play under the same conditions as Hawkes Bay.
The outbreak of World War One interrupted both competitions, leaving Southland out of contests for either until they returned to the Hawke Cup in the 1929-30 season.

How abundant do Super Bowl tickets cost? How do you alike buy Super Bowl tickets? And back is the best time to buy Super Bowl tickets to get the everyman price?
Super Bowl 2018 will bang off at almost 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 4. We now apperceive that it will affection the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the New England Patriots—so admirers from both franchises will be clamoring to buy tickets for the 2018 championship, book hotels, and accomplish added arrange to (hopefully) see their aggregation win the NFL championship in person.
Here's aggregate you charge to apperceive if you appetite to try and see the Patriots or Eagles win Super Bowl 2018.
The best accepted atom to buy Super Bowl tickets is on accessory bazaar resale sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, TicketIQ, or Vivid Seats. The official NFL Acceptance Exchange, run by Ticketmaster, additionally serves as a exchange for Super Bowl acceptance sales, but the prices there tend to be added expensive.
As of Friday, the cheapest Super Bowl tickets at TicketIQ, Vivid Seats, and SeatGeek were listed at about $4,100 afore taxes and fees, compared with $5,200 at the NFL Acceptance Exchange. (They started at $4,300 at StubHub.) Bear in apperception that the fees can add hundreds assimilate the amount of anniversary ticket. At SeatGeek, for instance, that $4,100 acceptance apprehension up costing a absolute of $4,900 afterwards taxes and fees are included.
The Super Bowl acceptance prices cited aloft are for the "cheap seats," about amid extreme from the field, and sometimes with blocked angle of the action. The best tickets—in lower tiers abreast the 50-yard line, or in clandestine affluence seats—are listed for tens of bags of dollars apiece.
Are these prices archetypal for the Super Bowl? Well, because acceptance prices alter abundantly from year to year—they can alike accelerate or collapse aural the advance of a few days—there is no accepted Super Bowl acceptance price. It's abundantly based on accumulation and appeal at the moment, and how abundant admirers are accommodating to pay.
Last year, for instance, the boilerplate Super Bowl acceptance amount on accessory markets alone from $5,000 to $3,225 in aloof four days. Why? The NFL had been reserving an allocation of tickets to be awash as allotment of cher acceptance bales that included account like hotels and pre-parties. But as the date of the Super Bowl grew abreast and it was credible few admirers were affairs these packages, added tickets were appear into the marketplace—and the added accumulation collection acceptance prices bottomward in a hurry.
In 2018, the NFL is afresh alive with Ticketmaster and a aggregation alleged On Location Experiences to advertise Super Bowl acceptance packages. Prices for these alpha at almost $7,500, and accommodate one aerial accouter acceptance and acceptance to a pre-party on Super Bowl Sunday.
Large civic acceptance brokers, who brainstorm on how abundant admirers will ultimately be accommodating to pay for Super Bowl seats, can additionally accept a big appulse on Super Bowl acceptance prices.
Average acceptance prices for the 2015 Super Bowl—in which the New England Patriots played the Seattle Seahawks—rose from $2,900 to over $9,000 during the two weeks afore the big game. Large acceptance brokers were abhorrent for the crazy billow in prices: Apparently, abounding of these brokers had agreed to advertise tickets at a assertive amount afore they absolutely had the tickets themselves. Back the time came for the brokers to absolutely buy the tickets for their customers, the marketplace's accumulation of tickets accessible was abundant lower, and the prices abundant higher, than the brokers had expected. The aftereffect was skyrocketing acceptance prices at the aftermost minute, as able-bodied as canceled orders in some cases.
To some degree, addition out the best time to buy Super Bowl tickets is a crapshoot. The bazaar can change rapidly, based on fan appeal and how the accumulation is controlled in a accustomed year.
Still, there are some patterns that admirers should booty agenda of. The acceptance resale and advice armpit SeatGeek has an absorbing Acceptance Tracker clear that displays how acceptance account prices—and absolute acceptance sales—have risen and collapsed during the 30 canicule afore anniversary Super Bowl back 2013.
As you ability expect, every year there is a fasten in accessory bazaar acceptance sales appropriate afterwards the NFC and AFC championship amateur are played, free which teams comedy in the Super Bowl. So it's safe to ahead that there will additionally be a billow in Super Bowl acceptance prices tonight and Monday, as admirers of the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles snag their seats.
Super Bowl acceptance appeal (and therefore, pricing) is acceptable to be abnormally aerial this year, because the Philadelphia Eagles avowal a berserk fan abject that's been fatigued of an NFL championship back 1960.
Yet a Minnesota Vikings win Sunday night could accept pushed acceptance prices alike higher: Because the Vikings comedy their home amateur in Minneapolis's U.S. Bank Stadium, the host of this year's Super Bowl, it would accept about been a home bold for the team. Aftermost week, TicketIQ predicted that if the Vikings were to be in the Super Bowl, acceptance prices could go absolutely haywire. The armpit anticipation that this book could advance the boilerplate account amount for Super Bowl tickets over $10,000, with the "cheapest" seats accessible for almost $5,200.
Now that we apperceive it's the Eagles rather than the Vikings arena in Minneapolis in the 2018 Super Bowl, prices apparently should not be absolutely so abnormally high. But it's accepted they'll be college than accepted anyway.
As for the optimal time to buy Super Bowl tickets at the everyman price, it appears astute to wait. In all but one of the accomplished bristles years (again, 2015), boilerplate Super Bowl acceptance prices beneath as the alpha approached. Aftermost year, for example, the boilerplate acceptance was affairs for a little over $3,000 in the canicule afore the Super Bowl, compared with added than $5,000 appropriate afterwards the AFC and NFC championship amateur ended.
For what it's worth, boilerplate Super Bowl acceptance prices were listed at SeatGeek at almost $6,300 aftermost Friday, up from $4,800 through abundant of aboriginal January. As of Sunday afternoon, back the AFC and NFC championship amateur were actuality played, the boilerplate was $5,863.

Oscar 2023 | Find out which Actresses were SNOPPED at the 95th edition of the biggest film award
Yesterday, on the morning of Tuesday, January 24, the nominees for the Oscar 2023 were announced. This will be the 95th edition of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards. As usual, some productions were certain to be among the nominees, such as The Fabelmans (a new work by the brilliant Steven Spielberg) and The Banshees of Inisherin (from director Martin McDonagh, which has been praised as one of the best films of the season). Others, although highly publicized and well supported by their fans, become a welcome surprise when their nominations are actually confirmed. In this edition, productions like Everything and Everywhere at the Same Time, Avatar: The Path of Water and even Top Gun: Maverick become the underdogs.
This new Oscar story, however, focuses on the actresses who were "forgotten at the barbecue." Stars and actresses who gave their all in an award-winning performance who for some reason were completely snubbed by Academy voters. In the article, we have cases of actresses who were even remembered for other prestigious awards, such as the SAG (American actors union award), the BAFTA (the British Oscar) and the Golden Globe, but left out of the Oscar. We also have cases of actresses whose performance was considered certain to be among those nominated by experts, but due to the lack of popularity of the film in which they star (whether with the public or with critics), they ended up snubbed. We selected 10 that could appear in this edition of the Oscars. Check it out below.
The giant Viola Davis was one of the most felt absences in this new edition of the Academy Awards. Oscar winner for A Boundary Between Us (2016) and owner of three other nominations (The Supreme Voice of the Blues, Cross Stories and Doubt), Davis is the star of the empowered historical action drama The Woman King, which talks about a tribe of African warrior women. The film did not get any Oscar nominations, but the actress was nominated for her performance at important awards such as the SAG (actor's syndicate award), the BAFTA (British Oscar) and the Golden Globe.
The young star Jennifer Lawrence also already has her Oscar statuette decorating the house, for the movie Silver Linings Playbook (2012). In addition, just like Viola Davis, she has three other nominations to call her own – for the films The Winter of the Soul, American Hustle and Joy: The Name of Success. By moving away from overproductions and betting on a smaller and more intimate work, J-Law gave his all in portraying a military woman trying to heal a physical and psychological trauma, and it is clear that she sought recognition for her performance. Despite this, who appeared in all the awards of the season was his screen partner, Brian Tyree Henry – even managing to reach the Oscar with a nomination.
Take the time to watch:
One of the most snubbed films at the 2023 Oscars was this production that portrays the epicenter of the #metoo movement, which exposed the sexual and psychological abuse suffered by women within the North American audiovisual industry. It was thanks to the movement and its repercussions, which saw many actresses bringing their painful personal experiences against well-known predators to the public, that professional conduct within such environments was changed forever. She Said shows the investigation of two women journalists from the New York Times to uncover this story and was considered the Spotlight of 2023. Two very talented young actresses give substance to this narrative: Carey Mulligan (nominated for an Oscar for Beautiful Revenge and Education) and Zoe Kazan. The two were also largely ignored despite their strong performances. Mulligan, however, received BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations.
Danielle Deadwyler is an actress who featured in many of the pools of speculators for Oscar 2023 nominations. Although she is not a face that is still well known to the general public, the actress has participated in series like Atlanta, Watchmen and Station Eleven, and in films like Revenge and Punishment (2021). But what caught the attention of moviegoers was Deadwyler's performance in the drama about racism, based on a true story, Till – The Quest for Justice, from Universal Pictures, which tells the murder of young black Emmett Till in 1955 – the actress plays his mother . Deadwyler was nominated at SAG and BAFTA, but ended up snubbed, just like the film, at the Oscars.
The drama Entre Mulheres received two Oscar 2023 nominations, including best film of the year, even so it is considered one of the biggest snubs of the edition. As a female drama that addresses very poignant issues in such a universe, directed by a woman and with a predominantly female cast, the feature deserved more attention from the Academy. For example, it could have earned its director Sarah Polley a one-year nomination without a female director in the directing category. Other than that, it could also have nominated one of its four leading actresses, in impactful performances. That is, Frances McDormand (Oscar winner for Fargo, Three Billboards for a Crime and Nomadland), Rooney Mara (Oscar nominee for Millenium and Carol), Jessie Buclkey (Oscar nominee for The Lost Daughter) and Claire Foy had a chance, but were snubbed.
There is also a decisive factor when it comes to nominating a work or an artist for the highest cinema award: the film needs to happen. What that means is that a certain movie needs to be a hit with critics or audiences. Hardly a box office disaster and a critical failure will be remembered by Oscar voters – unless it has an element of excellence that draws a lot of attention (like Ana de Armas' performance in Blonde). This is the case with the unfulfilled promise of Babilônia, which generated great expectations as one of the strong contenders for the 2023 Oscar, but ended up completely losing strength after its release. The film was nominated for three technical awards, despite this, nobody questions the delivery of the muse Margot Robbie (Oscar nominee for I, Tonya and The Scandal), snubbed by the Academy, but nominated for the Golden Globe.
Another film that "didn't happen" was the drama Empire of Light, by Sam Mendes (Oscar winner for American Beauty and nominated for 1917), about a local manager's discovery of a passion for cinema and the fight against racism in a small coastal town. English in 1980. The film went almost blank at the Oscars, being remembered only for best cinematography. Who stars is Olivia Colman, Oscar winner for The Favorite and owner of two other nominations (My Father and The Lost Daughter) and a new nomination was expected for the actress, who ended up snubbed. However, her performance was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Red-haired Jessica Chastain finally took the best actress Oscar last year for the biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye, after being nominated for Cross Stories and Zero Dark Thirty. This year, the star had significant work in O Enfermeiro da Noite, based on a terrifying true story. Although the film did not appear at many awards, his co-star Eddie Redmayne was remembered for BAFTA, SAG and Golden Globe nominations. Chastain's performance, however, although equally powerful, was ignored not only at the Oscars but also at the aforementioned awards.
Another original Netflix production that could have been at the Oscars. O Milagre has all the appearance of awards and at the helm is the famous Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, who won the Oscar for foreign film for Uma Mulher Fantástica (2017). Starring in The Miracle, we have Florence Pugh, one of the most talented young actresses of her generation, who we are sure will soon be nominated for an Oscar. It could have been this time, but next time. The Miracle, which tells of a nurse trying to unmask an alleged miraculous fast in 1862, was nominated for best film at the BAFTA.
Finishing the list of actresses snubbed by the 2023 Oscars, we have what could be the triumphant return of star Anne Hathaway to the prestige of awards, after a long season of failures in her career. It's been 8 years since the actress has seen a great success in her career, in that period delivering no less than nine productions that proved to be consecutive failures. It's hard for her. Redemption could have been achieved by Armageddon Time, much talked about initially, in which the actress plays the mother of a little boy growing up in the 80s. The film serves as a biography of director James Gray, as well as The Fabelmans for Spielberg. The film seems to have not been exciting, staying away from the big awards – and Hathaway ended up equally snubbed.

The style guide itself is good, but what drew my attention was the visual representation of tone ranges. Personally, I find the visual a far more clear example of what the Firefox UI copy should read like than a bullet list of examples would have conveyed. I also appreciate how a range implies flexibility for the writer to approach the language from a few different angles. A good reminder that product design writing isn't about how it's written, it's about how it reads.

Q: C++11 Polyfills I am starting a new project that will be targeting MSVC, GCC (latest), GCC 4.3 ARM and more.  The waf build system we have built has C++11 feature detection of the compiler.
I now have preprocessor macros for all features in compiler that I am targeting for C++11, for example #ifdef WAF_FEATURE_CXX_STRONGLY_TYPED_ENUMS.  I can therefore compile different code for what the compiler supports. As GCC nearly supports it all be MSVC isn't even close (even with MSVC 11)
This got me thinking about web development polyfills - if the feature isn't available implement it with the feature set available.
This is no way near as simple as web development polyfills as for C++11 but is there anything that I can simply implement with C++03 if the compiler doesn't support it?
This boils down to the fact that I want to use strongly typed enumerators in my public API but the scoping MyClass::MyEnumerator::EnumValue will look more like MyClass::EnumValue in C++03.  Is there anyway I can get the same to occur in C++03 easily:
class MyClass {
    public:
#ifdef WAF_FEATURE_CXX_STRONGLY_TYPED_ENUMS
        enum class MyEnumerator : unsigned int {
#else
        enum MyEnumerator {
#endif
             EnumValue = 0
        }
    void method(MyEnumerator e);
}

MyClass mc = new MyClass();
mc.method(MyClass::MyEnumerator::EnumValue) // C++11
mc.method(MyClass::EnumValue)               // C++03 :(

A: This is what you'll need to do (I made other trivial fixes about pointers and non-pointer access).
Bsically, it's what @demi said.  I had to make a dummy enum name.  This works in g++-4.7.
class MyClass {
    public:
#if __cplusplus > 201000
        enum class MyEnumerator : unsigned int {
             EnumValue = 0
        };
    void method(MyEnumerator e) {}
#else
        class MyEnumerator {
        public:
          enum Dummy {
             EnumValue = 0
          };
        };
    void method(MyEnumerator::Dummy e) {}
#endif
};

int main() {
    MyClass mc;
    mc.method(MyClass::MyEnumerator::EnumValue); // C++11 or C++03
}

A: You may emulate enum class as class. Your boilerplate code will be only in definition, but usage will be same for C++11 and C++03, and may be done with templates/macros. Look answer here

I am beyond humbled and ecstatic to share that I will be spending January in sunny LA assisting Anne Bogart on a SITI Company production of Kurk Weill's Lost in the Stars at CAP UCLA as an SDC Foundation Observer.
"Weill … was a master of both shadows and light." - Jazz Times
Center for the Art of Performance at University of California Los Angeles (CAP UCLA), in partnership with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), welcomes back NYC's SITI Company with an all-new production of Kurt Weill's Lost in the Stars directed by Anne Bogart with music direction by Jeffrey Kahane.
For his final Broadway score, Weill gave passionate voice to this powerful, uncompromising social indictment of apartheid South Africa. He and his librettist Maxwell Anderson adapted Alan Paton's great novel Cry, the Beloved Country for the Broadway stage in 1949. The work, which was widely acknowledged as one of the most important works of that season and a landmark in the history of American musical theater, ran for more than 300 performances. However, when the producers learned that for the planned national tour the black cast members were denied the right to stay in the same hotels as the white cast members, the national tour was cancelled, and as a result only a few places in America have ever had the opportunity to see and hear a live performance of the work. This all-new production in the directorial hands of Anne Bogart and Jeffrey Kahane is a bold and rare chance to revisit Weill's final score.

India's fight against intolerance "shaping" amidst increasing infiltration of rightwing groups among communities
Cultural personalities felicitated at Gandhi Peace Foundation
By Our Representative
The national convention of 200 prominent citizens, held at the Gandhi Peace Foundation, New Delhi, has reached the conclusion the current "fight" against intolerance, begun by litterateurs and artistes who have returned their awards in protest, can succeed only when local-level communities begin asserting their rights.
Organized by the National Alliance of People's Movements (NAPM), the apex body of tens of mass organizations across Gujarat, well-known social activist Medha Patkar, expressing the views of the participants, said, this is particularly important because "the infiltration of right-wing groups has been increasing."
"The climate of intolerance that writers and intellectuals have protested against is also felt by the youth in villages and cities, where the need is for drawing connections towards a new movement which can bring together different struggles in the country", she insisted.
Organized under the banner "National Convention on Samaj – Sansaadhan – Samvidhan Bachao" (Save Society, Parliament, Constitution), the NAPM felicitated filmmakers, writers and cultural activists were felicitated. Social activist Prafulla Samantara, well-known academic Prof Arun Kumar, top educationist Anil Sadgopal and Patkar, among others, talked about "communal oppression, privatization of education, so called cultural cleansing", an NAPM note said.
Those who spoke on the rising tide of "intolerance" included Manglesh Dabral (poet), Prof Chaman Lal (writer), Shriprakash (film maker), Atmajit Singh (writer), Tapan Bose (film maker), Satya Rai Nagpaul (film maker), and Rehman Abbas (writer) shared their views and reflections on and the reasons to start their fight for the same.
Dabral, pointing towards return of awards by several top cultural personalities, said, their was not a "not a manufactured revolt", adding, he could see that the people in the country "are not happy and are living in times of crisis where the current government is supporting the corporates with suppression of people's voices by spreading communalism."
Sriprakash said that he decided to return his award as he saw the way the Pune-based Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) students' struggle was being "ignored and pushed to the wall." He added, "The protest also showed the need to resist saffronization."
Abbas spoke about how Urdu poetry has always been about love, not hate. "Intolerance is not connected in today's time to any one religion or community. My book has faced the intolerance of my own community and being continuously threatened by fundamentalist forces, this is not new to us", he declared.
Singh said that one of the worst things to happen to the Sikh community is asking them "about where they would like to go, remain in India or go to Pakistan." He added "Seeing what is happening around me, I asked myself, after writing so many plays, is my voice irrelevant?"
He pointed out, "The highest numbers of people, who have given back the award, are from Punjab. This is because we have seen 1984." Referring the Sahitya Akademi, whose awards were particularly returned in large numbers, he wondered, "How can an independent and autonomous body not respond when writers are getting killed? Our PM also will not talk about tolerance in India; he will only do it outside the country!"
Bose, who has made influential documentaries on on Bhopal Gas Tragedy and Bhagalpur blindings, observed that "religious fanaticism is now replaced by blind nationalism." Chamanlal added, "I returned my award to make people realize that we are passing through difficult times."

Trainer retailer Foot Locker has announced it will invest $100 million into GOAT Group, the business which runs secondary sneaker online marketplace Goat.com.
The two companies also plan to work together to find ways of digitising Foot Locker's expansive brick and mortar estate.
With Foot Locker's 2,500+ stores around the world, the partnership is also set to help GOAT internationalise its operations. The cash injection is expected to help the marketplace group expand its technology and omnichannel credentials, and it now means Goat Group has raised $197.6 million since it was founded in 2015.
Foot Locker has recently invested in a range of innovative, digital-first companies, including women's luxury activewear brand Carbon38, children's lifestyle brand Super Heroic, and footwear design academy Pensole.
The business has closed around 250 stores over the last two years, mainly as a necessity due to the slowing – and failing – retail mall market in the US, where it has such a strong presence. It has replaced these outlets with over 100 stores in new locations, and is developing ways it can raise its profile in local communities by hosting events and sports games.
As part of the new collaboration, Scott Martin, Foot Locker's senior vice president for strategy & store development, will join GOAT Group's board of directors.
Richard Johnson, Foot Locker's chairman and CEO, said: "We are excited to leverage GOAT Group's technology to further innovate the sneaker buying experience and utilise their best-in-class online marketplace to help meet the ever-growing global demand for the latest product.
Eddy Lu, co-founder and CEO of GOAT Group, added: "In 2015, we pioneered the ship-to-verify model with a mission to bring a seamless and safe customer experience to the secondary sneaker market.
"With over 3,000 retail locations, Foot Locker will support our primarily digital presence with physical access points worldwide, bringing more value to our community of buyers and sellers. Having Foot Locker as a strategic partner will also expand our business as we continue to scale our operations both domestically and internationally."

Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts
The Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels (French: Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts - École supérieure des Arts de la Ville de Bruxelles (ARBA-ESA), Dutch: Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten van Brussel), is an art school established in Brussels, Belgium. It was founded in 1711. Starting from modest beginnings in a single room in Brussels' Town Hall, it has since 1876 been operating from a former convent and orphanage in the Rue du Midi/Zuidstraat, which was converted by the architect Victor Jamaer [fr]. The school has played an important role in training important local artists.[1]

OriginsEdit
Brussels' Town Hall, where the Academy draws its origins
Historically, artistic training in Brussels was organised in traditional workshops where masters would teach their skills to pupils. The masters needed to be registered with their local guild to be able to practice their craft. On 30 September 1711, the magistrate of the City of Brussels gave the guilds of painters, sculptors, weavers and other amateurs the use of a room in Brussels' Town Hall to teach drawing classes to their pupils. On 16 October of the same year, some sort of school was established at these premises to organise the classes. The school would concentrate mainly on teaching drawing.[2]
In 1737, the Academy adopted its first rules. The city assumed some costs, including those for the models. A few decades later, disagreement broke out. The classes moved to the inn 't Gulden Hoofd and were even suspended for a while. The Bruges painter Bernard Verschoot took over the Academy's leadership and tried to put it back on the rails with a heavy hand. The Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands, Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine, put the school under his high protection in 1762. His attention went mainly to the Department of Architecture. The school was re-established in 1768 as the Académie de Peinture, Sculpture et Architecture ("Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture"), with funds raised through a public subscription. Inspiration was found in the French model. A year later, the school returned to the Town Hall. In 1795, the Academy was closed after the conquest of Brussels by the French revolutionary troops.
Resurgence under François-Joseph NavezEdit
In 1829, the school moved into the Granvelle Palace (since demolished). One year later, François-Joseph Navez became director. He organized the school and expanded it. In 1832, it moved to the basement of the left wing of the Industrial Palace. From 1835 to 1836, Navez's plans were implemented. In 1836, the Academy was awarded the privilege to use the adjective "Royal" as part of its name. The panel painting was declared to another important department. It was based on the first golden age of Dutch painting. However, there was some time tensions at the Academy to the yet propagated neoclassical style. In addition to painting and sculpture, architectural education became more important, though it never achieved the status of a pioneering teaching and training facility.[3]
Drawing of the Academy's plan (Jamaer, 1876)
In 1876, the Academy moved to the school buildings on the Rue du Midi/Zuidstraat, in what was the former Bogards' convent, which had meanwhile served as an orphanage. The architect Victor Jamaer [fr] was able to link the whole school in the limited space of the existing ensemble. The facade was redesigned in the neoclassical style. Until today the academy is there. From 5 January 1889 women were also allowed to participate in a class for advanced students.[4] At the end of the 19th century, was the founding of the modern LUCA Campus Sint-Lukas Brussels, a strong competition. Meanwhile, ARBA is one of the 16 art schools of the French Community of Belgium. Under the director Charles van der Stappen, the doctrine came to this university to an even greater prestige. Even literature and photography were part of the training offer.
In the European art scene around the turn of the century, Brussels drew forth in addition to his training center in the shadow of Paris.[5] Since 1889, Brussels was the uncrowned capital of Art Nouveau, especially in architecture, which had its triumphal procession through Prof. Victor Horta.[6] The Academy managed the step to another center of the avant-garde in the panel painting. From the Academy and its students went influence on the development of Realism, Symbolism, Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Post Impressionism and the newly incipient Expressionism. These were all precursors of Modern Art.

In 1912, Horta had made changes to the organisation of the school. A system of studios was created, as it was recommended by Paul Bonduelle and Émile Lambot.[7][8][9] In 1936, the Royal Order was made to the formation of the separate Department of Architecture.
Changes in organization and teaching after 1945Edit
In 1949, a small Department of Planning and Urban Development was established. Architectural studies got the rank of university education. In 1972, the Department of Artistic Humanities was established. In 1977, the Department of Architecture finally acquired its autonomy. In 1977, the Institute Supérieur d'Architecture Victor Horta, named after the Art Nouveau architect and former director, was founded. In 1980, the higher education of the second degree and new courses at the Academy of Fine Arts were presented. In 2009, the Faculty of Architecture of the Free University of Brussels was founded. This was done after the merger of the two schools of architecture: the School of Architecture Victor Horta (ISAVH) and the chamber of the French Community of the Higher Institute of Architecture (ISACF).
Nowadays, programs are offered for Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in the fields of design, art and media and offered doctoral studies, too. The Academy has been an ESA (Ecole Supérieure des Arts - Art College) with a university orientation. In addition, it is part of Royal Academies for Science and the Arts of Belgium (RASAB) which was founded in 2001. It is responsible for the task of promoting activities of the affiliated members and organizations here and coordinate. Its tasks include projects at home and abroad. The school is sometimes confused with the Royal Academies for Science and the Arts of Belgium (RASAB) and the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium, both separate institutions, as well as the French Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, part of the Institut de France.

Later, it advised the architects in all professional matters. Since 1936, the aims and objectives of the Palladian society are represented by the SADBr. They should be considered the successor organization.

If you are selling products online, your website needs to be easily found by your customers or prospects. This means appearing in the first positions of Google' SERPs. It would be a real disaster to have the best products and website if you cannot reach your audience.
This is where SEO can help you. It will help you rank higher in the SERPs and make your website be visible by your target. The more traffic you get, the more likely you are to make conversions.
Our article delivers 10 tricks to help you optimize your ecommerce website for SEO and boost your sales.
Using anchor text to boost your SEO is a good solution. Your ecommerce website is for sure full of links pointing to your pages and you need to optimize your anchor to maximize their potential. You need to make them looks natural with anchors like "here" but you can also use strategic keywords you want to rank for. Obviously, you must not use the same keywords for all your anchor texts in order to avoid being penalized by Google. Including important keyword links in your product descriptions can also lead the visitors to similar products pages you want to push.
Like compelling headlines, catchy product descriptions have a great impact on your conversion rate. That's why you should avoid using manufacturer's product descriptions. Keep them unique and appealing with relevant keywords to make them more Google friendly.
Ecommerce stores relies on images. They are a sale's triggering factor. Your images must be highly qualitative, compelling and unique. But having great images is not enough especially if you want bots to find them. Images have a great SEO potential as Google Images' search results can drive a lot of traffic back to your website.
Make sure you filled out the ALT tag, a description where you can add valuable and unique keywords.
URLs are more important for your SEO than they seem to be. Optimized URLs can really help search engines' bots to find and crawl your website and know what it is about. Proper URLs structures then also ease your website indexation.
On the other hand, efficient URLs can inform your visitors what you page is going to be about and improve their experience. Moreover, a good user experience keeps your audience longer on your website. It represents additional chances to convert them into customers.
While growing your traffic is a thing, converting these visits into sales is another. You need to check if your regular visitors are turning into paid customers. Google Analytics is a good help to analyze your traffic and spot points of improvements. You can thus determine from where you traffic comes from, the devices used, the personas most likely to convert, conversions generated through SEO, etc.
Make your site navigation easy. The worse mistake would be to not offer a clear navigation path. Don't forget to link to your product pages from your home page and to offer relevant landing pages. This will also help bots to crawl your website.
You want to offer the best experience possible to your visitors. Clicking on a specific page and landing on a "Page 404 Not Found" is surely not the result you were expecting. That's why having broken links is a terrible idea. You should then run regular crawls to detect whether you have 404 issues. Having a lot of them can be a disaster for your business.
You can use OnCrawl to crawl your website and detect those errors.
In my opinion duplicate content is the most dangerous thing after that we can consider the broken links and other things. But due to the duplicate content, your site can affects damage seriously. Well, nowadays after announcement of Google people are taking more care about the content. So thanks to you for remainding us everything.

Morning Links: Pasadena's VMT under attack by drivers, LA County District 2 survey, and what to do after a crash
January 13, 2020 / bikinginla / 2 comments
Before we get started, Spectrum News 1 reporter Jada Montemarano reached out to say she's working on a story about bikeshare and e-scooters, and wants to talk with frequent users, especially people who use it to get to or from work or public transportation.
If you'd like to talk to her, you can reach her at jada.montemarano@charter.com, or on Twitter via @JadaMontemarano.
Pasadena could take a big step backwards at tonight's city council meeting.
Reportedly under pressure from Pasadena's traffic safety denying pressure group Keep Pasadena Moving, the city is considering going back to the outdated and discredited LOS — Level of Service — method of measuring traffic flow.
The problem is that LOS only measures automotive throughput; that is, how many cars can be moved through intersections as quickly as possible.
That contrasts with the more accurate VMT — for Vehicle Miles Traveled — that counts people, rather than vehicles, regardless of how they travel.
As usual, the auto-centric NIMBY crowd will likely be out in force. So anyone who bikes, walks, uses transit or yes, drives in Pasadena owes it to themselves to turn out in force for tonight's council meeting:
Monday, January 13, 2020 @ 6:30 p.m.
Pasadena City Council Chambers, 100 Garfield Avenue, 2nd Floor
(Note: The Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition notes the item is last on the agenda and it's likely to be a long meeting!)
Or if you can't make it, you can email your comments to mjomsky@cityofpasadena.net; the Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition includes a pre-written email you can customize with your own thoughts.
Meanwhile, the VP of a neighborhood association somehow blames VMT for turning the Rose City into a copy of LA's Westside.
Which is a bad thing, evidently.
Bike the Vote LA is on the case in LA County's 2nd Supervisor District with a hard-hitting survey to get the candidates on the record before the March primary.

And in another important, if not vital, race, a large turnout for the Democratic presidential primary could make the difference in lifting Democrat Laraine Lundquist over short-term incumbent Republican John Lee in LA's nominally nonpartisan election in CD12.
In the short time he's been in office since squeaking by in November's special election, Lee has already shown himself to be one of the city's most regressive councilmembers, attempting to block plans for a high-speed busway, and remove the city's first protected bike lane on Reseda Blvd.
Last week a friend of mine was rear-ended by a driver.
Fortunately, he and his bike are mostly okay. But it serves as yet another reminder of what to do following a crash.
To start, never say it was your fault. In the moments immediately following a collision, you may be confused, or unsure exactly what happened. Give yourself time to analyze the situation before saying something you can't take back.
The same goes for injuries. Never tell the other person, police, insurance companies or anyone else you weren't hurt immediately following a crash. Chances are, you might be and just don't know it yet. Get yourself to a doctor to get checked out. Or at the very least, go home and wait to see if anything develops overnight.
Exchange ID and insurance information with the driver. If you leave without the driver's information, you'll be on the hook if it turns out you are injured. And you could be cited for hit-and-run, even if you weren't the one who hit or ran.
And if you end up with significant injuries, medical bills or lost work, at least talk to a lawyer. The job of an insurance claims adjuster isn't to settle the case fairly, it's to settle for as little as you'll settle for. Which means you're the one who could get screwed.
You don't have to hire a lawyer if you talk to one. And you should never pay anything upfront; a liability lawyer should take his fee out of your settlement, only after everything is settled.
If you do need one, I can recommend three damn fine ones over there on the right; you can't go wrong with any one of them.
And here's a little more advice about what to do following a collision I wrote a few years ago.
Loos like South LA's Eastside Riders is continuing their good works in the local community. And need your help to do it.
What can you donate? Hot meals to the family in the community. We are attempting to feed 2000 people in one sitting in a to be determined location in LA. #4X52000 https://t.co/lsR6HgPF43

Never mind that high, flat grill, which was apparently designed to inflict maximum damage to any bike riders or pedestrians who might get caught in its path.
But hey, it's perfectly legal, right?
An ArtCenter professor is teaming with biotech billionaire and LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiung to market a wide, fat tired scooter capable of doing up to 30 mph. The question is, what happens when it hits the streets, where e-scooters are often limited to 15 mph. And will it require a helmet, like ebikes capable of doing up to 30 mph?
Not only did San Diego police bust the thief who stole an ebike from a man suffering from Parkinson's, they recovered another hot ebike — they just don't know who it actually belongs to. Seriously, register your bike now, before something happens. And immediately report it to the police if it gets stolen, then add it to the free, nationwide Bike Index database of stolen bikes. Because the cops can't return a recovered bike if they can't prove who it belongs to.
The San Diego Association of Governments has approved a cool $90 million to keep regional bike lane projects on track.
Say hello to San Diego County's first bike park in Bonita, thanks in large part to the efforts of the San Diego Mountain Biking Association.
The new 3.9 mile Mojave Riverwalk bike and pedestrian path connects the Mojave Narrows Regional Park with a seven-mile loop of bike paths and bike routes through Old Town Victorville.
Once again, an Apple Watch saves the day, with its fall detection software automatically calling paramedics when a San Francisco ebike rider was struck by a driver.
San Francisco's Planning Commission thinks a carfree street next to the city's new transit center would make a marvelous site for a parking garage ramp for a new hotel tower.
The San Francisco Chronicle wonders whether ebikes can really replace cars, given their popularity in the Bay Area.
Vision Zero has finally made it onto the American political stage, with an endorsement for a national plan to eliminate traffic deaths from South Bend, Indiana mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg; unfortunately, he doesn't include a deadline for the country's last traffic death. And someone needs to explain the concept of induced demand to him.
Bicycling offers their take on the most exciting bike tech from last week's CES trade show. But somehow missed the tiny little $8,800 solar powered ebike car.
Outside says dress warmly, and you won't get stuck riding a Peloton all winter. Is it just me, or is everyone taking shots at Peloton lately?
Steve Harvey may or may not be one of us, but his grandson is now, after the erstwhile talk show host teaches him to ride on his Spider-Man bike.
A Washington writer says he was wrong, because it turns out Vision Zero isn't just aspirational at all.
There's a special place in hell for a San Antonio thief who shot a homeless man five times when the victim refused to give up his bicycle; now he's under arrest, while the man he shot remains in critical condition. Just let it go. No bike is worth your life, even if it's all you have.
A kindhearted Texas cop showed up at a little girl's house with a new bike after hers was stolen just a week after she got it for Christmas.
Speaking of Vision Zero, Kansas City could become the latest city pledging to end traffic deaths. Someone should tell them that just talking about it isn't enough, however, unlike a certain SoCal megalopolis we could name.
That's more like it. An Ohio driver will spend the next three and a half years behind bars without parole after copping a plea in the drunken death of a bike rider; she'll also have a drivers's license revoked — for life.
A new app will crowdsource data about bad drivers. But only people in the DC area will be able to call up the driver's DMV record.
A new app being field tested in Arlington VA uses traffic cameras to look for blocked bike lanes.
The kindhearted kids of Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — site of a mass shooting two years ago — have collected 1,000 bicycles for impoverished kids in around Durbin, South Africa.
Road.cc picks their road bike of the year, with the price capped at roughly $4,500.
A law enforcement officer offers pro tips on how to keep your bike from getting stolen. Hint: Lock the damn thing already. And register it.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation says forget electric cars, ebikes could be the real answer to greener transportation.
A Vancouver letter writer accuses the city of pandering to a few bike riders, insisting that removing 700 parking spaces to make room for bike lanes won't result in even 17 more bike riders. Which may be a reasonable argument, if you ignore the results from almost every other city around the world.
Eddie Redmayne is one of us, looking decidedly dapper riding in London after fixing a flat.
There's a special place in hell for the thief who stole an e-bike from a 13-year old boy in the UK after pulling a sawed-off shotgun out of his pants. Honestly, though, who among us doesn't keep a shotgun in their pants?
A Spanish website credits kindhearted cops with buying a delivery man a new bike after his was run over in a crash — except they were the ones who ran a red light and crashed into him.
A formerly homeless Singaporean man used a food delivery job to get off the streets, then lost weight after switching from an e-scooter to a road bike in response to the city's scooter ban on sidewalks and pathways.
You don't have to pedal ski bikes, either. Don't let a little blizzard keep you off your bike.
And why let a little thing like flooding stop you from riding your balance bike?

Mike Wilkinson says:
If you are involved in a crash, here's a tip I heard from Seth Davidson. A police report can be vital if you have to deal with an insurance company or file a lawsuit. However, many police departments will not file a report unless there is an injury. So, if you have even a just scratch, or if your bike is damaged, tell everyone that you may be injured and you want to be checked by EMTs.
David Drexler says:
If there is no police report you can go down to a police station in the jurisdiction where the crash occured and unilaterally file a report when you recover preferably within 30 days. Any highway patrol office can take a report if the crash was on one of their roads in the state of california. Insurance companies require a police report as a formality to file a claim.
