Proposed Militia a Threat to Civilians: Irregular Forces Lack Effective Oversight, Accountability

The Afghan government should reject proposals to create a new militia with inadequate training and oversight, Human Rights Watch said today. Western diplomatic sources in Kabul told Human Rights Watch that President Ashraf Ghani is considering establishing a defense unit modelled on the Indian Territorial Army, an auxiliary force comprising personnel who serve on a short-term contract basis with the regular armed forces. The NATO Resolute Support Mission is believed to support such a local security force in Afghanistan.
An Afghan Territorial Army with reduced training and potentially less oversight risks being yet another abusive militia operating outside the military's chain of command, Human Rights Watch said. If approved, the Afghan government is expected to determine the location of a pilot project by September 20, 2017.
"The Afghan government's expansion of irregular forces could have enormously dangerous consequences for civilians," said Patricia Gossman, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch. "Instead of creating additional local forces, which are hard to control and prone to abuses, the Afghan government with US and NATO support should be strengthening training and oversight to ensure that all forces respect the law."
In recent years, the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces have relied on militia forces such as the Afghan Local Police (ALP) to "hold" local territory reclaimed from the Taliban or insurgent groups belonging to the Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP). The group is an affiliate of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) and is based in Nangarhar province.
The Afghan Local Police, established in 2010, was meant to serve as a local defense force. While these forces have gained some local support as a result of recent reforms, in many localities these forces have been responsible for numerous abuses against civilians, as well as summary executions of captured combatants and other violations of international humanitarian law. The proposed Afghan Territorial Army would ultimately replace the Afghan Local Police as a defense force at the local level. There is concern that existing Afghan Local Police units could remain armed as militia forces.
Instead of creating a new militia, Afghan authorities should improve the training and capabilities of its existing troops, and hold accountable those responsible for abuses, Human Rights Watch said. The inadequacy of Afghan police and soldiers has been evident in districts of Nangarhar province in which ISKP groups have carried out frequent attacks.
The Indian Territorial Army, the model for this proposed defense force, has been deployed to support Indian counter-insurgency forces in Jammu and Kashmir. Territorial army personnel have been implicated in serious abuses, and its irregular status has contributed to a lack of accountability.
In one prominent case, on March 8, 1996, Maj. Avtar Singh of the territorial army detained Jalil Andrabi, a human rights lawyer and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front member. Three weeks later Andrabi's body was found floating in the Jhelum River near Srinagar. An autopsy showed that he had been killed days after his arrest. Indian authorities opened an investigation that ultimately indicted Major Singh, but state counsel asserted that Singh was not a member of the armed forces but under contract with the territorial army, and that his contract had expired and he was nowhere to be found.
The Afghan government has been unable or unwilling to hold powerful strongmen accountable for abuses, including those who command Afghan Local Police units or other militias. It's not clear how the government intends to ensure that new Afghan Territorial Army units, whose members will be paid less than their army counterparts, won't fall into the same pattern.
While the territorial army would operate under a regular army corps commander, diplomatic sources told Human Rights Watch that Afghan officials involved in the discussions have expressed concern about the force becoming used by powerful strongmen, or becoming dependent on local patronage networks. There is also concern that the new force could replicate the criminality that many Afghan Local Police units exhibited, and clash with other government forces and militias over control of territory and smuggling routes.
In addition to the proposed Afghan Territorial Army, the Afghan government is considering creating a new 15,000-strong tribal militia, under the Ministry of Tribal and Border Affairs, currently headed by former governor Gul Agha Sherzai. The model for such a militia appears to be those established along ethnic lines by the late President Mohammad Najibullah in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Members of those militia forces were responsible for serious human rights abuses.
"There is a long, unsavory history of using tribal and irregular militias in Afghanistan, and it has led to egregious crimes without accountability," Gossman said. "Too often they have inflamed conflict rather than provide security."

Saaz – bollywoodzki dramat rodzinny z 1997 roku. W rolach dwóch rywalizujących ze sobą w śpiewie sióstr – Shabana Azmi i Aruna Irani. Ponadto gra tu muzyk Zakir Hussain. Gilm wyreżyserowała Sai Paranjape.

Inspiracją dla filmu były losy dwóch najsławniejszych sióstr indyjskich śpiewających w playbacku do filmów bollywoodzkich – Laty Mangeshkar i Ashy Bhosle. Autorem tekstów piosenek jest Javed Akhtar, mąż Shabany Azmi grającej główną rolę.

Opis fabuły
Małe miasteczko w stanie Maharasztra. Mansi i  Bansi Vrundavan to dwie siostrzyczki wychowane w miłości do siebie. Łączą je nie tylko wspólne zabawy, ale i miłość do śpiewu, którego uczy je ojciec. Starsza Mansi już podziwiana za swój dar śpiewu zazdrosna jest o młodszą. Podtrzymuje jej nieśmiałość, aby nie mieć w siostrze konkurencji w śpiewie. Kiedy po śmierci rodziców obie przyjeżdżają do Bombaju, starsza matkuje młodszej. Zarabia na nią śpiewem stając się coraz bardziej znana (Aruna Irani). Jednak, gdy Bansi (Shabana Azmi) chce się uniezależnić próbując swoich sił w śpiewie, Mansi aranżuje dla niej małżeństwo. Posłuszna jej we wszystkim Bansi nie protestuje. Potem ukrywa przed siostrą, jak bardzo nieszczęśliwa czuje się z gwałtownym, bijącym ją pijakiem i obibokiem. Od rozwodu powstrzymuje ją jednak oczekiwanie na narodziny dziecka.
Gdy wreszcie sławna siostra pozwala jej wziąć udział we wspólnym nagraniu piosenki, Bansi czuje się przez nią upokorzona. Zabiegi Mansi, aby utrzymać śpiew siostry w cieniu, wywołują gniew Bansi. Decyduje przebić się ze śpiewem na własną rękę. Pomaga jej w tym były kochanek siostry.  Połączone miłością do córeczki Bansi Kuhu, siostry coraz bardziej dzieli rosnąca sława Bansi. Pewnego razu duch rywalizacji zwycięża. Rozstaja się w gniewie. Po 10 latach milczenia, z rodzinnej wioski przychodzi do obu propozycja wspólnego śpiewu dla uczczenia pamięci ich ojca. Na odmowę matki spragniona zgody córka Kuhu (Ayesha Dharker) reaguje groźbą strajku głodowego.

Larry Bass, CEO of Irish producer ShinAwil, on how to find original formats in an increasingly competitive market.
Despite the sun shining brightly on Le Croisette, it was difficult not to notice the waning delegate numbers at this year's MIPTV.
Indeed, it was hardly surprising that organisers declared on Monday that they would be introducing new initiatives to create a 're-imagined' event next year.
Despite the dwindling numbers it was pleasing to see execs and producers still striking business deals, developing new ideas and even embarking on a small bit of gossip around the Palais. And at the MIPFormats event, a precursor to the main MIPTV market over the weekend, it was interesting to see news ways of thinking and moving the business forward being discussed, following a period of two or three years which has seen very few break-out format hits.
This time around there was an acceptance that something completely fresh isn't always the right way forward. In a world where the formats market is 20 years old and seemingly ever expanding it's getting much more difficult to find that diamond. But sometimes that diamond can be a reboot, reversion or just a tweak.
Surveys may tell us that audiences are tired of the same old cookery, quiz and dancing shows, but look how successful a returning format like 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?' has been for ITV recently. My kids weren't old enough to watch the original version and now can't get enough of the revamped format.
But that's not to say producers have given up on developing the big new ideas.
One panel session concluded that there are now more opportunities for paper formats than ever before. In my opinion, pitching a great show on the back of an envelope or a cigarette packet is just as valid as great piece of tape. Indeed, our company has a lot of paper formats as we work in a TV landscape where money from broadcaster development money is becoming harder to secure. One could even argue this lack of funding actually breeds creativity.
My company ShinAwiL has adapted formats such 'Dancing With Stars' and 'Dragons' Den' for our domestic audience and we were on the lookout at the market for more gems to bring back to Ireland. As I dashed from meeting to meeting, what struck me in particular the strength in depth of scripted formats this time around – particularly interesting for us as we have just recently launched a new drama division. Newen was showcasing some really strong titles in this genre including 'Candice Renoir', procedural police drama 'The Room' and 'Ouro'. Armoza Formats, Lagardère and Copenhagen-based Reinvent Distribution also had some interesting dramas that have real potential for local adaptation.
But we're equally focused on developing new and exciting formats and that's one of the reasons why we've formed a strategic alliance with Zig Zag Productions in the UK – a move that sees us co-develop and coproduce original unscripted projects, while representing each other's formats across the Irish border.
It all comes at a time where linear broadcasters continue to see their ratings slide, so it's never been more important to offer a mix of original ideas and the best shows the international market has to offer.
Who knows, we may have found the next big idea or pitched it ourselves in Cannes this week.


This value winner provides a great range of thermoregulation for versatile all-year round use.
The REI Co-op Midweight Base Layer Crew is a high-performance active-wear base layer suited perfectly for year-round use. Its affordable price tag and performance through a plethora of conditions earns it our Best Buy Award winner this year. The soft polyester-spandex blend provides a versatile and long fit for all body types. It's easy to layer, making it simple to wear with a cozy mid-layer or jacket. Thanks to its thinner construct, it doubles as a fantastic wear-alone piece in the warmer months or and dumps heat well while going uphill.
We tested this base layer while winter running, fall hiking, and skiing both in the backcountry and at the resort. While it's quite breathable, it's not nearly as warm or comfortable as the Arc'teryx Rho LT Zip Neck, featuring a fleece-lined interior and a skin-tight fit. While it kept us comfortable and warm on the move, it wasn't our favorite for standing around in super cold temperatures because the fabric seems to retain moisture more readily than other merino-wool based contenders. That said, it's perfect for more aerobic sports in the winter and as a great stand-alone piece in the summer months. To boot, its durable and the price for just $50 (retail) isn't bad either. If you're looking for a base layer that won't empty your wallet while providing decent performance overall, this award-winner is our best recommendation.
Taking home the Best Buy Award, the REI Co-Op Midweight base layer is the most affordable and best-performing base layer tested. Wear it all year while relishing in its exceptional breathability, style, and fit.
The Midweight Base Layer wins our Best Buy award for its low price and great performance.
As a thinner synthetic base layer option, it certainly is not the warmest of all the contenders. Featuring a 92% polyester/8% spandex blend, it performs well to wick away moisture and keep your skin dry. However, the material is not the greatest at allowing for the evaporation of moisture and instead holds moisture in the fabric if it supremely wet or humid outside.
We tested this piece while backcountry skiing through the winter and hiking in the winter. As a stand-alone piece, the fabric is super thin and provides great thermoregulation to dump heat. That said, in the winter, it is not our top choice for super cold days as the material simply doesn't insulate as well as other layers with a fleece lined interior or a merino wool construct. That said, it performed superbly for aerobic activities in cold weather. Overall, great for active cold weather wear but not a fantastic option to wear if you're going to be sitting around in the cold in the Arctic.
This top is a little thinner than most and as a result, it's not the warmest in this review. That said, it does well as a base layer in colder weather.
This top is also available in the REI Co-op Midweight Base Layer Half-Zip. This top can add a little extra warmth by covering up the neck.
If breathability is what you seek, the Midweight Base Layer Crew provides! In all things outdoorsy, it performs quite well keeping you warm and mostly dry in a wide range of temperatures. The polyester blend is tight fitting, wicking away moisture from the skin in temperatures ranging from zero to 50 degrees. The material is thinner and somewhat porous, allowing air and moisture to move readily. That said, it doesn't breathe well in all conditions.
While it works well in warmer temperatures, we found that when layering it under a mid-layer, the fabric wicks, but doesn't readily evaporate well. When ski touring on a cold day, when wearing this base layer on its own, we were comfortable and dry. However, when the wind picked up, we added a mid layer, and it stopped breathing as readily. It still managed to wick moisture away, however it seemingly got trapped in the fabric. When stopping to eat a sandwich, we noticed our core temperature dropping. The fabric was colder than other options out there sadly. As a result, we wouldn't recommend it as a layer to wear in super cold temperature where you might have to sit around for long periods of time after sweating. But it does a great job during warmer runs or hikes as a stand-alone piece.
The crew collar of the Midweight base layer is perfect for snow hiking on warmer days.
We adore the comfort of this contender. Our testers love the stretchiness of the thinner fabric and its stretchy, longer fit through the torso and arms. It is simple and well crafting. While layering it under fleecy layers, the shirt stays in place and conforms to the curves and shoulders of even our more voluptuous testers. It hugs thinner frames and provides great coverage for all body types. It is true to its size.
While the face fabric is soft to the touch, it's not as cozy or comfortable as merino wool contenders. The fabric also feels great against the skin, without itching when it gets wet or sweaty. Overall, this comfortable bare-bones baselayer is excellent for wear-all-day or multiple days on end.
A look at the fit of this comfortable synthetic base layer.
Featuring a slippery face fabric and thinner construct, this top is easy to put underneath fleece mid-layers or jackets. The fit is tight to the skin, so it doesn't bunch up or catch when pulling layers over on top.
Because of its tight fit, though, it's not ideal to put a t-shirt underneath. Only a tight tank top will fit readily. Overall, it's easy to layer.
Trying on different layers in double negative digits in Northern Ontario.
Looking for a shirt to wear when it's pouring outside? The Midweight Crew doesn't absorb a whole lot of water and dries quickly. In our dryer test, it took only 50 minutes to dry! In the field, we observed a similar pattern after getting caught in a little snow storm. The top did not absorb the snow easily (like Merino wool contenders), and after it stopped, it took a few minutes before we felt dry again.
As a result of this great performance in both field and at-home objective tests, it's a good option if you plan on experiencing wet weather or if you need a top that will dry quickly (when the sun comes out after a storm).
With over three months of testing and over 15 washes, durability is a non-issue. We took it running, climbing, and skiing, wearing it with heavy (and light) backpacks in a wide range of temperatures. Through it all, it shows little to no wear and tear! We didn't observe any pilling or stitching fly-aways.
The burly polyester fabric provides resistance to high-friction sports like crack climbing and canyoneering. Our only caveat in this category is the fabric (despite the odor-resistance) started to retain a stench after this period.
This layer proved to be fairly durable, except there was minor pilling observed at the seams.
As a thinner, fitted baselayer, the REI Co-op Midweight Crew is best for warm to cool weather as a stand-alone piece. It performs well for all seasons thermoregulating in temperatures from zero to 50 degrees. It's a great option for hiking in the Fall or Spring, or while touring uphill on colder days. It's highly layer-able making it a great option for cold-weather wear, even though it's not the warmest option out there. It's perfect for most outdoor adventures that don't involve standing around in the cold for too long. Its cute design also makes it wearable for days out with friends or strolling around town. Take it running, hiking, or skiing all year round!
Take this layer winter exploring or on your next adventure into the backcountry.
Winning our Best Buy Award, we think this base layer is high value. At only $50 retail (and for less online) this fairly durable product will keep you happy for years to come. No base layer lasts very long (when worn frequently), so we appreciate a low price tag for a product category that undoubtedly won't last as long as other gear purchases.
This Best Buy winner will have you charging uphill in the snow, spring, and fall. Wear it as a stand-alone piece in the winter or under a cozy mid-layer in the winter. For a great low price of $50, the durable REI Co-op Midweight Crew is a great synthetic option.

During the public function, Amma gave away saplings to AYUDH members members, promoting the 'Nalpamaram Natinnu Nalvaram' നാല്പാമരം നാടിന്നു നൽവരം project to plant medicinal trees in temples and 'Kavu' (sacred groves).
The children of Amrita vidyalayam presented a variety of cultural programs during Amma's darshan time.
Despite the scorching heat, people were waiting pateintely to see Amma, listen to her and participate in the guided mediatation. They kept aside everything to spend time with Amma and did not mind the sweat and dust in order to be in the blessed presence of a Mahatma.
Speaking on the occasion, Amma said: "Just as our body needs good, nutritious food every day, our mind also needs the nutrition of good thoughts every day. If we eat nothing but junk food, our body will become unhealthy and sick. Similarly, bad thoughts will make our mind sick and weak. Instead, we must uplift the mind by feeding it pure thoughts. Only then will we obtain peace in life.
After this last program of Bharata Yatra 2019, Amma left for Australia, where she will hold programmes in four cities on the east coast of the country.
Kochi saw a celebratory tone during Amma's Bramhasthanam programs. On arrival at 6:40pm from Palakkad on March 15, Amma was welcomed by Vedic Chants from students of Tantra Vidyapeetham, Lalita sahasranamam by students of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and bhajans by devotees. Looking at the crowd from the verandah, she showered flower petals on thousands who had come to see her arrive for the 2-day festival at Ernakulam.
Amma served dinner to everyone present including those of the tour group and local volunteers after leading them in Meditation & Bhajans.
The first day started off with a public program. Among the guests on stage, Justice PR Raman, Ombudsman, Devaswom board, said Amma's service is uplifting many who come to see her. Justice Mohandas of human rights commission spoke of Amma's clean drinking water project as tackling humanity's most primary needs and requested everyone to follow the good deeds and example set by Amma. Under Jivamritam clean drinking water project, 3 more units were handed over to communities in Ernakulam area. 50 people living around Amrita Hospital were given 'Health Care Cards' by which they will be getting special benefits for treatment from the hospital.
Satsang, Bhajan and meditation were led by Amma before starting each day's Darshan.
Second day program on the 17th also started with a public event and guests on stage included Malayalam film actor, Salim Kumar who spoke of repeated meetings with Amma as a refuel run for his happiness and how Amma helped him at times of illness and personal difficulty. Advocate Govind K Bharathan, Senior Central Government Standing Counsel in the High Court, a guest on stage, spoke of his first meeting of Amma 35 years ago.
During the public program, Amma distributed plants to AYUDH youth members as part of an ongoing campaign with the theme "Nalpamaram Natinnu Nalvaram – നാല്പാമരം നാടിന്നു നൽവരം". Anti substance-abuse awareness campaign "Swastha" for students and parents in educational institutions was initiated by AIMS Kochi chapter of AYUDH India. A project "jeeva jalattinnu oru maṇpātraṁ – ജീവജലത്തിന്നു ഒരു മൺപാത്രം " to provide water to birds on earthen plates during hot seasons was also blessed by Amma during the public program.
A group of young students from Amrita Institute for the Differently-Abled (AIDA) touched many through their graceful yet delicate dance performance.
Students from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Amrita Vidyalayam performed many dances and music as Amma gave Darshan.
At 3:30 am on the next day, as Amma got up from the stage, chants of "Mata Rani Ki" and jubilation reminded that this was also the auspicious ending to the second leg of Amma's Yatra that started at Mysuru on February 18, 2019.
For the next stop, the tour group traveled to Palakkad, just next to the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. During the two days of programs the temperatures soared, reaching a high of 43 degrees C! (109 degrees F). For all those in attendance, sitting in the massive crowds and intense heat, Amma's words and embrace became a soothing breeze, cooling the hearts of thousands who came to see her.
During the program, Amma distributed saris to local Amrita SREE self help group members and Amrita Vidyalayam students presented a variety of cultural programs.
After the Palakkad programs the tour group had a short drive to Kochi for the final stop on the Bharata Yatra2019.
After several weeks spent in the states of Karnataka, Andra Pradesh and Maharashtra, Amma finally made it back to Kerala and had her first program back in the north of the state in Kannur. Amma held two days of a Brahmasthanam festival there.
From the big city atmosphere programs of Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc; coming back to Kerala, the programs took on a more rural feel and village atmosphere. The Kannur ashram is set back far from the main road down a small lane. Each day Amma descended to the stage via a long ramp passing through the branches of jackfruit, mango and cashew nut trees.
Amma was welcomed to Kannur by the famous writer, T Padmanabhan, who helped distribute saplings to local AYUDH members promoting the 'Nalpamaram Natinnu Nalvaram' നാല്പാമരം നാടിന്നു നൽവരം" project to plant medicinal trees in temples and 'Kavu' (sacred groves). Saris were also distributed for AmritaSREE self help group members.
During darshan, local Amrita Vidyalayam children performed various dances and dramas that they had obviously worked very hard to prepare.
At the end of darshan Amma honored local devotees who teach 'Bala Samkruti' classes, imparting spiritual and cultural values to local children.
After the final person was embraced, Amma and the tour group continued south to Palakkad for the next stop on the tour.
Amma began her 2019 Bharata Yatra with programmes in Tiruvananthapuram.
Amma was welcomed to the region and lauded by many dignitaries, including Sri O.Rajagopal MLA; Sri V.S.Sivakumar, MLA; Amritakeerti Puraskar winner and acclaimed writer Sri Narayana Kurup; and Sri Babu Chandran Nair, DIG of BSF.
During the programmes, Amma distributed new saris to Amrita SREE self-help group members and also awarded certificates of completion of five units* to Panchayat members of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math's Jivamritam project to install water filters and provide clean drinking water in 5,000 villages throughout India.
In her talk, Amma stressed the need for love and compassion in society. She also stressed the importance of protecting nature to ensure a sustainable future for humanity. Further, she pointed out the importance of parents inculcating spiritual values like self-control and compassion for others in their children. Amma called upon devotees to utilise their worldly existence to make the world an even more beautiful place. What really matters, Amma said, is how much one has been able to positively influence others through one's thoughts, words and actions.
Throughout the programmes, students of Amrita Vidyalayam and Amrita Balakendra staged dances and plays with deep spiritual and cultural meaning.
* A total of 17 units in 7 Panchayats of Tiruvananthapuram since its launch last year. The lists of Panchayats – Vilappil (8 units), Kilimanoor (4 units), and one unit each at Perinkadavila, Balaramapuram, Karinkulam, Chirayinkizh and Kizhuvillam Panchayats.

Double-bunking in prisons not a problem for Vic Toews
July 12, 2012 July 12, 2012 amp Leave a comment
Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press
Thursday, July 12 – Globe and Mail
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says he has no problem with the number of federal inmates sharing cells built for one.
And even as he reiterated his commitment to building 2,700 new cells in existing prison facilities, he said those additional units aren't meant to alleviate the pressures caused by double-bunking – because there's no need.
"We won't make any changes on the double-bunking policy. Double-bunking is appropriate. All Western democracies use double-bunking, dual accommodation, in appropriate cells," he told The Globe and Mail in an interview. "And we will continue to do that."
Mr. Toews used a Winnipeg press conference Wednesday to underscore that the increase in inmate population isn't nearly as high as Corrections Canada projected. The Tackling Violence Crime and Truth in Sentencing acts were expected to result in 3,600 more inmates into the penal system by March of 2013; increases so far are closer to one-third that.
That, Mr. Toews said, means he was right to resist calls from the head of Corrections Canada in 2010 to spend $2-billion on new prison facilites. But critics argue federal institutions have yet to feel the full impact of the Tories' tough-on-crime legislation: Bill C-10, for example, just came into effect last month.
Federal prisons are more crowded than they have been in years. The percentage of inmates sharing cells built for one has more than tripled since 2004. Incidents of prison violence have also risen.
More than 2,600 federal inmates, about 18.5 per cent of the prison population, are double-bunked. That's a 300-person increase since March, said Correctional Investigator Howard Sapers.
Corrections Canada policy states that "single occupancy accommodation is the most desirable and correctionally appropriate method of housing offenders." A 2010 directive states that while double-bunking is still seen as "inappropriate as a permanent accommodation," population pressures will force Corrections Canada to do it more often.
"The norm was that double-bunking at around 10 per cent was seen as manageable," Mr. Sapers said. "So this is a significant departure from that."
The union representing Canada's correctional workers has complained its members feel unsafe on the job in prisons where as many as 85 per cent of inmates share a cell built for one.
Crowding makes for restive, tense and often violent inmates, they argue. In some cases, resources such as gyms and visiting rooms have been used as sleeping areas. Incidents of assault – on inmates, staff or visitors – have gone up 36 per cent in four years.
"It's going to become more dangerous for us, but at the end of the day, when the inmate ends up back on the street, is the public any safer? Not under this government," said Jason Godin, Ontario regional president for the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers. "Part of our mandate is the rehabilitation process. And, quite frankly, [that is] being lost."
Kim Pate, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society's national arm, was surprised to hear Mr. Toews's views on double-bunking, given that Canada's a signatory to the UN's Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, which recommends against it. The Elizabeth Fry Society is considering legal action on double-bunking, especially in cases where female inmates with mental illnesses are sharing cells.
"I would be surprised to hear that [Mr. Toews] is hearing from anyone within Corrections that double-bunking is not a concern," she said. "Putting people in multiple-person cell accommodation actually creates unnecessary stress. … It's long been regarded as creating more harsh conditions than, certainly, the judge who sentenced the person ever intended."
The federal government is spending about $600-million to build 2,700 new cells in the next couple of years, all as part of expansions to existing prison facilities. After losing beds from closing Kingston Penitentiary and Leclerc Institution, that will make for a net of 1,700 new beds.
A statement from the Public Safety department said the expansion is expected to suffice through 2019. It would take about 1,300 of those new units to alleviate today's double-bunked inmates. But that isn't the plan.
"As long as it's done safely and appropriately," Mr. Toews said, "there's nothing inappropriate about two people sharing a cell."

Say No to Drugs: Clear message from Aryan Khan's arrest
Author: Makarand R. Paranjape
Publication: Gulfnews.com

Celebrities are especially vulnerable given their lifestyles and constant public attention
The arrest and judicial custody of Aryan Khan, the son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, even as it unfolds in its many dimensions and complexities, is a sad and sordid saga.
As we all know, recreational drug consumption is rampant in many parts of the world, especially among the affluent sections of society. The fact that most of these drugs are banned or illegal does not prevent their widespread use.
Among the rich and famous in multiple Indian cities, it is hardly a secret that drug abuse is frequent. In many parties, banned substances are freely available and circulated.
When people take a rest or leave the dance floor only to return with a sudden spurt of extra energy, a euphoric expression on their faces, an especially dazzling smile, or enhanced shine in their eyes, one can easily guess that they've just helped themselves to something extra.
Taking drugs, in other words, is not at all unusual or especially frowned upon. What is not socially acceptable, however, is making a scene or mess of oneself. Addiction, of course, is the dirty, dark secret which most well-off families will give an arm and a leg to keep under wraps. But these things can never be totally hidden. People talk; the word gets around eventually. Shame, sorrow, and trauma follow.
Speaking of addiction, it is a serious problem in India, especially in border states like Punjab and Manipur. Unlike recreational drugs, it also destroys the lives of the poor, underprivileged, and most vulnerable sections of society. No one, whether rich, middle class, or poor is exempt from it.
And the consequences are devastating for all. The luckier ones are able to get help and go into rehab. Chances of recovery are good if the addict has the will power in addition to a good support system. But full recovery and rehabilitation, not to mention gainful employment or restoration of social status, are much harder to reclaim.
Crux of the problem
This brings us to the crux of the problem. The word "drug" encompasses a wide variety of different meanings and connotations. On the one hand, it refers to medicines which can save lives. On the other hand, it may denote narcotic, psychotropic, intoxicating, and other highly harmful substances.
Even among the latter, cannabis, which is milder and less addictive, is already legal in some places. But at the other end of the spectrum are dangerous and dependence-inducing "hard" drugs like heroin and cocaine.
Yet the truth is that drugs in some form or other, especially products of the poppy such as opium, have been in use from the dawn of civilisation. Not only as painkillers but as mood-enhancers.
It would seem that humankind has always needed some drug or the other to make reality palatable, to lessen the essential suffering of existence itself. As T S Eliot famously said, "Humankind cannot bear very much reality."
Is it any surprise, then, that alcohol, which is legal in most parts of the world, is the worst and most harmful drug on the planet? Unless you consider tobacco also an addictive drug, whose abuse is even more widespread.
The economic damage and workplace losses caused by alcohol abuse are colossal, running into billions of dollars. In addition, the personal tragedies resulting from alcoholism, including broken families and abusive relationships, is inestimable. No wonder some religious traditions totally prohibit the consumption of alcohol.
Alcohol and smoking deaths
Yet, alcohol is not only legal, but available in many parts of the world. Its consumption is shown in movies, TV shows, and on OTT platforms. In fact, alcohol-related content, studies show, is so extensive on these media that some believe that the entire entertainment industry would collapse without it.
Others argue that alcohol is the key social lubricant without which interaction with fellow humans would become practically unbearable.
According to WHO and other sources, if deaths related to alcohol and smoking are added up, we reach a staggering figure of over 5 million for 2021 so far, more than those killed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Keeping these facts in mind, let us return to the question of Aryan's arrest. Celebrities, especially Bollywood stars, are especially vulnerable given their high-pressure lifestyles and constant public attention. Have we forgotten the suicide of Sushant Singh Rathore, which is also allegedly drug-related?
As the son of a superstar, Aryan might already shoulder a huge expectation complex. To be shamed and degraded in this scandal will only add to his troubles.
That is why the public post of another Bollywood hero Hrithik Roshan is so commendable: "Life is a strange ride … it throws you curve balls, but God is kind. He gives only the toughest ones the toughest balls to play. … The anger, the confusion, the helplessness. … those same ingredients could burn away the good stuff ... the kindness, the compassion, the love. Allow yourself to burn, but just enough."
Reminiscent of "Hey Jude"
As an experienced elder, Roshan exhorts the younger Aryan to "Keep calm. Observe. These moments are the makers of your Tom[orrow]. And Tom[orrow] is going to have a brilliant sun shining. But for it, you must go thru the dark. … And trusting the light. Within. It's always there. Love you man."
Hrithik's letter is reminiscent of "Hey Jude," the song Paul McCartney wrote to comfort Julian, when the latter's dad, fellow-Beatle, John Lennon, left Julian's mother for Yoko one. To my mind, Hrithik's gesture to reach out publicly to Aryan shows the Mumbai film industry at its best.
In troubled times, they not only help out the nation, but also one another. Even someone perceived to be in the opposite camp, Kangna Ranaut, posted "We make mistakes but we mustn't glorify them ... I trust this will give him perspective and also make him realise consequences of his actions ... Hopefully it can evolve him and make him better and bigger."
What is the lesson from all this? First of all, that drugs constitute a complex issue with multiple dimensions. Also, that it is most unfortunate that Aryan, as a young man with a bright future, is going through this harrowing episode.
Although such questions may come to mind, it is not for us to speculate whether he is really as guilty as alleged, whether the laws are too harsh, or whether government agencies are going overboard in targeting celebrities.
Counterarguments, such as some sadhus or Indian holy men also "smoke up" in cities such as Varanasi but are never arrested, are also somewhat beside the point.
The lesson that people like us should draw and firmly convey to our kids is far more simpler and direct: Say no to drugs. Period.

"My experience as a student at Christendom College inspired me to become an educator. The faith formation and liberal arts education that I received prepared me to be an effective teacher and an educational leader. The curriculum at Christendom instilled solid critical thinking skills in me that has assisted me in my role as both a teacher and the Dean of Instruction at my school. Most importantly, Christendom helped me to foster a strong love for the Catholic Faith, so I strive to help others encounter Christ at my workplace each day."

"Undergraduate and graduate education today tends to produce exceptionally narrow specialist-professors who cannot speak outside their interests, much less to the general student population. Christendom's core curriculum represents the best of all possible worlds for those striving to become professors and scholars in the humanities, for it grounds them in the permanent questions and educates them over the whole of the western tradition. My experiences at Christendom are foundational for my life as a professor and scholar engaged in dialogue with the non-Catholic world. I am profoundly grateful for what I received."
– Dr. Donald S. Prudlo '99
Associate Professor of Ancient and Medieval History

"Teaching is a natural fit for a Christendom grad. As students, we were constantly impressed with the responsibility to share what we have been blessed to receive. My liberal arts degree has shaped the way I view my career—I view it as a vocation. Because a liberal arts education is an education for life, it keeps me from seeing my job as only a job—it truly is a calling."

'Inappropriate' windows refused for historic building in South Shields' Westoe Village
Steve McClaren reveals what impressed him most about Aleksandar Mitrovic against Man United
Steve McClaren's hailed Aleksandar Mitrovic's 'courage' after the striker put a difficult few weeks behind him by putting the ball in the net.
Saturday, 16th January 2016, 11:24 am
Updated Saturday, 16th January 2016, 11:29 am
Aleksandar Mitrovic
Mitrovic won and converted a penalty in Tuesday night's 3-3 draw against Manchester United.
The 21-year-old had missed a series of chances during the club's four-game league and cup losing streak.
And head coach McClaren feels Mitrovic's determination to take the spot kick spoke volumes about his "character".
"You've got to admire his courage," said McClaren, whose relegation-threatened side take on West Ham United at St James's Park this afternoon.
"You've got to admire it, because of the way he grabbed the ball, as if to say 'no-one's taking this but me'.
"That's the kind of character I like, (it) takes responsibility.
"He's a young player who's come into the Premier League, but he's shown that he's got the character."
Newcastle this week signed midfielders Jonjo Shelvey and Henri Saivet.
And McClaren is hopeful his team can get better service to Mitrovic in the box.
"I think all strikers, they thrive on that," he said. "He thrives on crosses and a certain amount of balls into the box.
"We believe that Jonjo adds something different that we've not got.
"We've always liked him in football terms as a midfielder. I like a passer and a runner.
"We've got the likes or Vurnon (Anita), Jack (Colback) and now Henri, and now we've got a passer in Jonjo, and a runner in Gini (Wijnaldum) and Moussa (Sissoko) and Ayoze (Perez) in midfield, who are runners in that respect.
"So we hope the balance is good."


This project couple-of-city-blocks-wide project was an extension of my gallery installation of mine at the Keys That Fit window gallery on Telegraph Ave in Oakland.
The part of the site-specific window installation consisted out of seven painted panels that were integrated into the old store-front architecture. Each painting was placed directly behind and was covering from the inside, one of the seven matching window panes of the gallery that were facing the street. Every panel was painted a different monochrome color; and each such color was 'sampled' from one of the surrounding buildings in the direct neighborhood. Because of the windows' glass layer the set of monochromes reflected the onlookers and their immediate context. (I was also thinking of and referring to Gerhard Richter's large colored mirrors, and wanted to apply that medium in a more ambiguous, site-specific, and interventionist approach).
The whole project was inspired by my initial observations in this neighborhood. During my preparatory on-site research I was impressed by how rich in diversity but also how disconnected this little stretch of Oakland seemed to be. Along just two short city blocks you could find groups of homelesss individuals, as well as owners of brand new condominiums, along with residents living in cheaper rental apartment buildings. I met groups of 'black' and 'white' Americans, and of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and East African immigrants. There was a small Vietnamese mom and pop neighborhood grocery, and a large regional Korean supermarket. An African American Christian church, and a Chinese Buddhist Termple. A couple of grassroots but mostly 'white' art initiatives and the global headquarters of Interplay, a play and theater related organization. There was a bar for African American gay people, a cultural cafe catering to a young and mostly white creative community, a historic and hip music club. A one dollar store and two different treatment centers for alcohol addictions. And so on ... People did not seem to talk or walk much on the street, they mostly dashed in and out their respective communities or destinations.
There was some history of local drug related violence and residents advised me to stay away after dark from a parking lot behind a club. One police officer also warned me later not to get too involved with the homeless as he said they might turn out to be unstable or act in unpredictable ways and switch on me (; all went very well). So some stuff was definitely happening here but I felt relatively safe; located only four or five blocks from mayor Jerry Brown's apartment, in an area with a couple of new and exciting cultural initiatives, on one of the main historic thorough streets, and close to the edge of downtown.
I found out different language groups often did not speak each other's tongues. The African American population unfortunately often appeared the least fortunate (and the least well-to-do seemed the most visible on-foot presence on the street) while Korean immigrants for instance seemed to do well. It's hard to see the more subtle complexities of a situation as a relative outsider and avoid generalizing but I made an effort to work with all 'local colors', to include all in the same general area, in a generally connective way beyond the cliches of divisions by skin color, race, nationality, sexual orientation, or economical status.
As I see art as the creation of new meaning in the dialogue between oneself and the world, my intention was to --in seemingly simple and non-threatening ways-- invite more dialogue and inter-connection, in and through an artmaking process.
During the preparation for and execution of this project I was a regular presence in the neighborhood. People would see me return regularly to their area over a period of three months and saw me converse with 'everybody' and I got to meet many people and got the cooperation of quite some. At first I got the attention of homeless and other street regulars who weren't used to see an outsider spend time on the sidewalks and I was asked what I was making photos of. They were checking me out but also willing to connect. In the course of the process I tried to introduce myself to as many local people as possible, including the homeless, and the residents, organizations, and small businesses. At certain locations I needed and got the cooperatiopn of different landlords to gain access to their appartment buildings and renters, and to be able to knock on their doors and/or leave flyers. My invitation to the local people at each address was to participate in the art project by choosing one (any) color, and putting a rectangular surface (of any size) with that chosen color behind their street-side windows. This way the neighborhood would become a live-in mosaic, a collectively created and shared artwork. And so it happened. The homeless people that participated chose a spot on a publicly used bulletin board, on the side of a closed off club or bar.
Rectangular patches of different colors, materials, and sizes ended up appearing in many places, along my own colors behind the gallery windows. I pretty much knew all the people who participated and realized that sometimes very different persons who might never even have talked to each other sometimes ended up choosing the same colors. A subtle neighborhood mosaic of colors was created communally and made visible in a new way a network of presences in their shared place. It defined and reminded of the shared place in a new way.
At the end of this project tours were organized in which participants would pass by the displayed markers and learn more about the area. One such tour, for local participants and residents only, included stops at some of the participants' addresses that had opened their doors for further introductions and enjoying drinks, snacks and chatter around the story of their chosen color and other things related to themselves or the neighborhood. We had such stops at a local pizza place run by a Brazilian couple, a treatment center for alcoholic men, the global headquarters for Interplay, a church and treatment center for women struggling with problems, and a young artists and crafters collective (Rock Paper Scissors). Several people that had never spoken to each other learned about shared interests and common grounds, and became familiar with for them unknown aspects in their immediate neighborhood.
A renewed awareness and definition of the shared terrain, and the beginnings of new connections between normally distictly seperately operating people and groups were facilitated because of, and as a part of this art project.
At the conclusion of this project I collaborated with artist and photographer Susannah Slocum. In her work she often brings together visual groupings of until-then seemingly unconnected situations, things, or people on the basis of something that they have in common. We created a series of still video portraits of a number of local people in front of their spot in the neighborhood; a work that we hope to present one day in this local setting.
A public installation consisting out of a set of seven site-specific, monochrome acrylic paintings, integrated into the old storefront of the windows-only gallery.
Interaction with many of the people and aspects of the neighborhood, over a period of three months in which I invited the neighborhood to participate with their own window installation with their own color patches of differeing sizes at their local addresses.
Open neighborhood tours as well as one exclusively for local residents; the latter included visits insideand time for introductions and exchange at some of the local participating addresses.
A series of still video portraits of participators in collaboration with artist Susannah Slocum.


Description: Snow has settled on every surface in my work-chamber. The fire gives no heat, but I cannot extinguish it, nor can I extinguish the candles, which burn with a red nimbus and a gold flame and a heart of black. As the ritual reaches its climax, someone, somewhere, will conclude.

Buy Truman Capote's ashes, you sick bastard
Filed to: BooksFiled to: Books
Auctions In Cold Blood
Sure to pique the interest of avowed bibliophiles and other people you don't really want to talk to, Hollywood auction house Julien's is now offering the rare opportunity to buy a literal piece of the late Truman Capote: his cremated remains, which you can have for the relatively low estimated bid of around $4,000-$6,000. The author's ashes come housed in a "carved Japanese wooden box," which will certainly make for a fascinating conversation piece with whomever is slowly backing out of your room.
While auction houses have long been known to sell off every part and parcel of dead celebrities, selling actual human remains—something even eBay balks at—is somewhat unusual. Unless you're, say, the cat from Coronation Street, most celebrity ashes end up scattered into the wild, shot into space, or entrusted to their closest loved ones, specifically to keep fans from doing anything weird with them.
That was the original fate of Capote's ashes, anyway. They spent the past two decades in the care of his dearest friend, Joanne Carson (ex-wife of Johnny Carson), who initially kept them with her in her house, where Capote died. Carson, a proudly strange woman, often said in interviews that Capote's remains "were my sanity for years," only reluctantly putting them inside an L.A. mortuary after someone swiped them at a Halloween party—where, as People reported in 1988, "Alan Thicke was there, dressed as a scarecrow, Jim Backus had come as Mr. Magoo, and Phyllis Diller as an albino"—then returned them a week later by tossing them from a car into her coiled-up garden hose.
In addition to confirming that Hollywood is fucking boring now, the story illustrates just how much Carson feared Capote's ashes falling into the wrong hands. So much so that when producers of the recent Broadway staging of Breakfast At Tiffany's reached out to her in 2013 about bringing them, via first-class flight, to the opening night party, Carson refused, believing "the risk of theft was just too high." And given that someone else tried to swipe Capote's ashes from another party Carson hosted for the opening of the play Tru, it's understandable that Carson would have balked at making her friend's remains vulnerable to being made off with yet again by some creepy stranger.
But hey, Carson's dead now, so maybe that creepy stranger can be you. And along with the dust of her best friend, you can also pick up her wedding ring, which boasts a personal inscription from Johnny Carson—just one of several stars for whom "privacy played a pivotal role in [their] personal lives," which Julien's notes in the press release as a selling point for those who might want to paw through them, looking for souvenirs. While you're there, maybe you'd also like to buy something from the equally intensely private Steve Jobs, like his bathrobe and electric razors? It would be a comfy thing to wear as you curl up with the remains of Truman Capote, perhaps refreshing the Julien's website waiting for Gore Vidal's ashes to go on sale, so you can make them fight.

If you saw my post from a while back you know that I am obsessed with Disney Store Japan and Tokyo Disneyland merchandise. I found a personal shopping service that will ship mainly stationery goods from Japan to the U.S. and to say I'm obsessed is an understatement. A few people were interested in seeing what I picked up from these orders so here it is!
Ballpensetc mainly shops for stationery, but there are a few other items she picks up! I'm mainly interested in Disney items, but she also does a lot of Sanrio shopping!
All of these items were over a few different purchases, and this isn't everything but it is a good highlight of some of the things I've purchased! I live for Japanese pens so I have picked up quite a few pens. Sarasa clip pens are my all time favorite pens, so I've gotten quite a few sets that are all Disney themed. They have a super fine point and gel ink which makes for a super thin line.
Ufufy's are also a favorite of mine. Little did I know that all of them would eventually come to the U.S. (oops). But I picked up the Beauty & The Beast Ufufy's as well as this adorable Dopey Ufufy. These little guys are so dang cute it almost hurts. Plus they smell delicious.
Little notepads and sticky notes are my calling. Which is just another way to say I have a notebook problem. From Toy Story to Chip & Dale Japan has a ton of different notepads to fit any Disney fans needs. If you need to know anything about me it is that I LOVE Monsters Inc. So a lot of the items I picked up, like this Mike & Sully sticky note, are Monsters Inc themed!
Pens on pens on pens! Plus a sparkly Belle pencil case.
Here are some random goodies I picked up. More Sarasa pens, a Stella Lou sticky note, Dale Christmas keychain, a Marie little pouch, and a Monsters Inc & Toy Story set.
A big purchase of mine was this Mickey hamburger bag. It can be a shoulder bag or be converted into a backpack. Mickey + burgers is a great combination.
A big thing in Tokyo Disney are these little passholders. They also have a zip compartment so they can be a little bag. Again, had to pick up Sulley and this adorable little white Mickey mouse.
Going to Tokyo Disneyland is for sure on my bucketlist. Let's be honest, to go to all of the Disney parks is on my bucket list! I'm halfway there at least.
What would you pick up from Tokyo Disney if you could shop there? I would for sure pick up some more of their headbands and cute hats!

Fact check: National Archives debunks Trump's false claim about Bush documents
By Daniel Dale, CNN
Updated 1:17 PM EDT, Tue October 11, 2022
Trump continues to claim other presidents mishandled documents. Hear why that's not true
Paul Pelosi attacker pushes conspiracy theories in call to local TV station
First, former President Donald Trump tried a false claim about the document-handling practices of former President Barack Obama. Now, Trump is making the same false claim about other former presidents.
In August, after the FBI recovered classified documents and numerous other presidential records from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and resort in Florida, Trump declared that Obama had taken millions of presidential documents to Chicago. The National Archives and Records Administration quickly debunked his assertion, explaining it was NARA itself, not Obama, that took the documents to a NARA-managed facility in the Chicago area.
Trump tried using Obama as a defense after FBI search. Hear why it doesn't work
Then, at rallies in Nevada and Arizona this weekend, Trump not only repeated the false claim about Obama but added near-identical dishonesty about previous presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
Most dramatically, Trump said, "George H.W. Bush took millions of documents to a former bowling alley and a former Chinese restaurant; where they combined them. So they're in a bowling alley slash Chinese restaurant." Trump added, "A Chinese restaurant and a bowling alley. With no security and a broken front door."
Trump also claimed that "Bill Clinton took millions of documents from the White House to a former car dealership in Arkansas" and that "George W. Bush stored 68 million pages in a warehouse in Texas."
Facts First: All of these Trump claims are false. George H.W. Bush did not take millions of documents to a former bowling alley and Chinese restaurant. Rather, the National Archives and Records Administration took Bush's presidential documents to this facility prior to the opening of the Bush presidential library in the same city. Trump's claims about Clinton and George W. Bush are inaccurate in precisely the same way: NARA, not the former presidents themselves, put the documents in temporary storage at NARA-managed facilities at the former car dealership in Arkansas and the warehouse in Texas. And Trump was also wrong that there was "no security" at the facility where the elder Bush's documents were housed: the facility was heavily secured, according to a news report at the time.
So there is no equivalence between Trump's handling of presidential documents and those of his predecessors. In the others' cases, the presidential documents were in NARA's possession and stored securely and professionally. In Trump's case, the presidential documents found in haphazard amateur storage at Mar-a-Lago were in Trump's own possession, despite numerous attempts by both NARA and the Justice Department to get them back.
NARA sent CNN a statement on Tuesday, after the initial publication of this article, confirming that Trump's claims are false.
The statement said that NARA had possession of Bush, Bush, Clinton, Obama and Ronald Reagan presidential records after those presidents left office and that NARA moved the records to temporary facilities NARA leased near the locations of their future presidential libraries. The statement continued: "All such temporary facilities met strict archival and security standards, and have been managed and staffed exclusively by NARA employees. Reports that indicate or imply that those Presidential records were in the possession of the former Presidents or their representatives, after they left office, or that the records were housed in substandard conditions, are false and misleading."
Trump's claims about George H.W. Bush
Trump urged the authorities to "look into what took place" with George H.W. Bush and presidential documents. But there is nothing of substance to investigate: the National Archives and Records Administration has been forthright since the 1990s about where it temporarily stored Bush documents before his permanent library opened. In fact, the NARA official who was in charge of the transition of the Bush documents to the permanent library publicly joked about the temporary facility at the time.
"I've told reporters this for the last four years: It's not just a bowling alley; it's a bowling alley and a Chinese restaurant," David Alsobrook said.
While the temporary College Station, Texas, location made for a fun story, there was nothing unusual about NARA's use of such a building. NARA needs lots of space to house presidential documents before presidents' permanent libraries are built, so it finds and modifies large nearby facilities that often have formerly housed other activities.
Someone listening to Trump's rally comments might have pictured documents from the first Bush administration being scattered carelessly in bowling lanes. But that's not what happened. The Washington Post reported in 1993: "There aren't any lanes anymore. No gutters, no pins, no beer. Thanks to a rush remodeling job after last November's election, there are a few simple offices, a massive, fire-resistant vault and row after row of steel shelves filled with cardboard boxes and wooden crates."
As NARA's Tuesday statement said, there was also extensive security. The Associated Press reported in 1994: "Uniformed guards patrol the premises. There are closed-circuit television monitors and sophisticated electronic detectors along walls and doors. Some printed material is classified and will remain so for years; it is open only to those with top-secret clearances."
Robert Holzweiss, who began working on the George H.W. Bush library in 1996 and is now deputy director, told People magazine for an article in early 2022: "When I got involved the temporary facility for the Bush museum was in College Station, Texas, in an old bowling alley. Without the alleys it was perfect, it was like a warehouse. They just built a secure space within to house the classified material."
Bush died in 2018. His son Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who ran against Trump in 2016 for the Republican presidential nomination, wrote on Twitter in response to Trump's claims about the late president: "I am so confused. My dad enjoyed a good Chinese meal and enjoyed the challenge of 7 10 split. What the heck is up with you?"
Trump's false claims about Bill Clinton and George W. Bush
Trump's rally claims about former presidents Clinton and George W. Bush are false for the exact same reason as Trump's claims about Obama and the elder Bush are false.
That former Balch Motor Company building in Little Rock, Arkansas, where millions of Clinton presidential documents were stored? Again, it was the National Archives and Records Administration that took the documents to this facility, which NARA managed, in advance of the opening of Clinton's library in the same city.
That warehouse in Lewisville, Texas where millions of the younger Bush's presidential documents were stored? It was a NARA-managed facility, used to store documents while Bush's permanent library was being readied in nearby Dallas.
Update: This article has been updated to add NARA's Tuesday statement.

The locally based band, which also features Chad Bowen (bass) and Clinton Brown (drums), is touring in support of its first and only album since forming in 2011—Cabin Fever Blues—and will make a stop at The Crepe Place on Aug. 16.
Cabin Fever Blues puts a fresh spin on the traditional rustic sounds of folk and country music, which the band classifies as "California country." Songs like "Turn North" showcase the band's depth with Tyler's raspy vocals, deep echoing bass lines and nostalgic imagery, while the feel-good track "The Spring" has a refreshing simplicity to it.
"We just want to play music, and we hope that people enjoy the music that we create," says Tyler, who serves as the band's lead guitarist and vocalist.
The trio is currently focused on polishing its live show, but Tyler says he and his bandmates have plans to start working on a new record this winter. Bringing its unique sound to a wider audience is the ultimate goal, but the band has decided to take a more mellow approach.
The McCoy Tyler Band will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16 at The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $8. For tickets, call 429-6994.

Chasmosaurus was a ceratopsian (beaks, horns, and frills) dinosaur that lived in what is now Canada, during the Late Cretaceous Period, between 76.5 and 75.5 million years ago. From snout to tail it measured about sixteen feet long, and it would have eaten plants when alive. The genus name, Chasmosaurus, translates to "Chasm Lizard/Dinosaur" in reference to the two large holes, called fenestrae, in its large frill. These fenestrae are present in the frills of most ceratopsians but are particularly large in Chasmosaurus.
Chasmosaurus russelli life reconstruction by Christopher DiPiazza.
In general, Chasmosaurus had three horns on its face, two relatively narrow ones on the brows, and a robust one on the snout. The frill was extremely long, and somewhat rectangular. The genus, Chasmosaurus, has accumulated several species within the genus by paleontologists over the years, but some of those, like Vagaceratops, for example, have since been studied further and given their own genus. Currently there are two official species of Chasmosaurus. The older of the two is called Chasmosaurus russelli, which had slightly longer brow horns. The younger of the two is called Chasmosaurus belli, which had smaller brow horns and a deeper, shallow "V" shape to the center of its frill.
Chasmosaurus belli skeleton on display at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Pennsylvania.
The exact function of the frill is somewhat of a mystery. At first it could be assumed this was a defensive structure against predators, but it was extremely lightweight and the two holes taking up most of its space don't exactly make it a good shield. (Although the awkward shape could have still made it difficult for predators to bite the neck.) The second idea is that the frill helped Chasmosaurus thermoregulate, much like the large ears on many mammals do, by pumping blood through it, cooling it off and thus, the rest of the body. The third idea for the frill is display. These frills could have served as devices for communication between members of the same species, whether it be species recognition or for attracting mates. Although there is no sign of males and females having had differently shaped frills, they may have been different colors in life.

There was also a wonderfully preserved Chasmosaurus baby that was discovered a few years ago. This almost complete skeleton, missing only the front limbs, measures about five feet long from beak to tail. The frill is proportionally shorter which is what we have seen so far with other baby ceratopsians on the fossil record, and the legs aren't proportionally long, as is the case with some other species of baby animals.

Fantastic and interesting post, lots of great information and well researched - the photo of the animals skin is most interesting - keep up the good work!
I would love to know if Ankylosaurus had feathers, and if spinosaurs had feathers.
Sadly neither one of those dinosaurs gives us enough evidence to say with confidence if they had feathers or not. A feathered Ankylosaurus would look different!
I personally doubt Ankylosaurus had feathers, but I want to know for sure.

AZARGA URANIUM CORP. (TSX:AZZ) (OTCQB:AZZUF) (FRA:P8AA) is pleased to announce the positive results of an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment on its flagship Dewey Burdock In-situ Recovery Uranium Project in South Dakota, USA following an updated mineral resource estimate. The PEA has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101.
Blake Steele, the Company's President and CEO commented: "We are extremely pleased with the results of the updated PEA for the Dewey Burdock Project. The PEA demonstrates robust economics and cements the Dewey Burdock Project as one of the preeminent undeveloped in-situ recovery projects in the United States. The PEA results further validate our Company's strategy and we continue to progress the project towards construction as the global uranium market strengthens by virtue of supplier discipline and higher demand. The estimated cost profile and modest initial capital expenditures leave Dewey Burdock and the Company well positioned to capitalize on the anticipated recovery in the uranium price."
Summary of Economics
The base case economic assessment results in a pre-income tax internal rate of return of 55% and a pre-income tax net present value of US$171.3 million when applying an eight percent discount rate. Using the same discount rate, the post-income tax IRR is 50% and the post-income tax NPV is US$147.5 million.

The projected cash flows for the Dewey Burdock Project PEA are positive in the second year of production, two years after the commencement of construction. Initial capital expenditures are estimated at US$31.7 million.
Direct cash operating costs are estimated to be US$10.46 per pound of production, royalties and local taxes (excluding property tax) are estimated to be US$5.15 per pound of production and the total pre-income tax cost of uranium production is estimated to be US$28.88 per pound of production. Income taxes are estimated to be US$3.39 per pound of production and have been calculated on a project basis in accordance with NI 43-101 requirements; therefore, certain tax shelter balances, such as tax loss carry forwards available at the corporate level, have not been considered.

US$50/lb US$135.1m 46%
US$55/lb (base case) US$171.3m 55%
Cautionary statement: The results of the Dewey Burdock Project PEA are preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimated mineral recovery used in the Dewey Burdock Project PEA is based on site-specific laboratory recovery data as well as Azarga Uranium personnel and industry experience at similar facilities. There can be no assurance that recovery at this level will be achieved. There is no certainty that the Dewey Burdock Project PEA will be realized.
Updated Mineral Resource Estimate – 3 December 20191
Dewey Burdock Project ISR Mineral Resource Estimate
Measured Resources Indicated Resources Measured plus Indicated Resources Inferred Resources
Tons 5,419,779 1,968,443 7,388,222 645,546
Average grade (% U3O8) 0.132 0.072 0.116 0.055
Average thickness (feet) 5.56 5.74 5.65 5.87
Average grade-thickness ("GT") 0.733 0.413 0.655 0.324
Uranium (pounds) 14,285,988 2,836,159 17,122,147 712,624
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
In addition to the ISR mineral resource estimate, the NI 43-101 resource estimate includes a non-ISR (located above the water table) resource estimate containing Measured resources of 857,186 pounds at 0.060% U3O8, Indicated resources of 407,851 pounds at 0.053% U3O8 and inferred resources of 114,858 pounds at 0.051% U3O8. These resources are not included in the ISR resources presented in the table above and are not included in the economic analysis for the Dewey Burdock Project PEA.
Both the ISR and non-ISR resources were determined using the GT contour method and met the following criteria:
0.02 percent grade cutoff;
Occur within the same mineral horizon (roll front);
Fall within the 0.20 GT contour; and
Extend no farther from the drill hole than the radius of influence specified for each category, i.e., measured, indicated or inferred.
For the purpose of the PEA, the uranium recovery is estimated at 80% for all categories of ISR resources. Therefore, life of mine U3O8 production is estimated to be 14.3 million pounds.
The Dewey Burdock Project PEA has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 and was prepared by TREC, Inc. Douglass Graves, P.E., a qualified person as defined under NI 43-101, and Roughstock Mining Services, Steve Cutler, P.G., QP. The full technical report and PEA will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and Azarga Uranium's website www.azargauranium.com within 45 days of the issuance of this news release.
The Dewey Burdock Project is an advanced-stage uranium project located in South Dakota, USA. The Company has received its Nuclear Regulatory Commission License, which has one remaining contention outstanding, and its draft Class III and Class V Underground Injection Control permits from the Environmental Protection Agency. The Company looks forward to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board decision on the final remaining NRC License contention for the Dewey Burdock Project, which is now expected on 16 December 2019.
The Dewey Burdock uranium mineralization is comprised of "roll-front" type uranium mineralization hosted in several sandstone stratigraphic horizons that are hydro-geologically isolated and therefore amenable to ISR mining methods. The Dewey Burdock Project is located in a region where ISR projects have been and are operated successfully. The ISR mining method has been proven effective in geologic formations near the Dewey Burdock Project in Wyoming and Nebraska.
The Dewey Burdock Project consists of two resource areas: the Burdock resource area and the Dewey resource area. The central processing plant for the Dewey Burdock Project will be located at the Burdock resource. A satellite facility will be constructed at the Dewey resource area.
The Dewey Burdock Project PEA contemplates a phased development approach. The Burdock CPP will be constructed to initially accept a flow rate of up to 1,000 gallons per minute of lixiviant solution. Capacity will gradually be expanded to accept a flow rate of 4,000 GPM of lixiviant solution.
Similarly, ion exchange capacity will gradually be increased. During the first few years of operation, resin will be transferred from IX vessels to resin trailers to be transported and processed at an off-site processing facility. Once the CPP flow rate capacity has reached 4,000 GPM, the Burdock CPP will be expanded to include processing capabilities for approximately one million pounds per annum of U3O8.
First production occurs after year one of construction, with approximately 126,000 pounds of U3O8 being produced. The production ramp-up continues until reaching a steady-state production level of approximately 1 million pounds of U3O8 two years later, in the third year after construction commences. Restoration and surface reclamation will also be implemented concurrently with production and will continue approximately four years beyond the production period. The overall mine life will be approximately 21 years from initiating construction to completing decommissioning.
An overall assessment of the data used for the classification of resources into various categories is required by the CIM Definition Standards. This assessment showed that historical data gathering and interpretation of the data was conducted by a well-respected, major uranium exploration company with high-quality uranium exploration staff. It also showed that at key points, professional geologic consultants reviewed and verified the results of the historic exploration programs. Numerous academic reports have also been published on geologic settings and uranium mineralization of the Dewey Burdock Project.
Interpretive geologic evaluation has also been completed under the direction of the Company's senior geologic staff. All these factors provide a high level of confidence in the geological information available on the mineral deposit and that historic drillhole data on the Dewey Burdock Project is accurate and useable for continued evaluation of the project.
The QP (Mr. Cutler) notes that the drilling conducted by Azarga Uranium has verified the location and grade of uranium mineralization in the updated resource estimate. There are no known discrepancies in locations, depths, thicknesses, or grades that would render the project data questionable. The QP has adequately verified the historical data for the Dewey Burdock project. The QP has reviewed the data confirmation procedures and concludes that the drillhole database has been sufficiently verified and is adequate for use in resource estimation. The QP concludes the work done by Azarga Uranium to verify the historical records has validated the project information in the updated resource estimate.
The disclosure of a scientific and technical nature contained in this press release was approved by Douglass Graves, P.E. and Steve Cutler, P.G., qualified persons as that term is defined under NI 43-101.
