Biden: The Passive President?
Posted on May 27, 2021 by Christian Twiste
For decades if not centuries, Americans have expected energy in the Executive. Founder Alexander Hamilton laid out his vision of energy as a "leading character in the definition of good government," a concept embraced by even his rivals like Thomas Jefferson. Where does current President Joe Biden fit in?
Throughout much of American history there has been an ongoing debate over the proper role of the executive branch, and it's chief, the President. The debate began before the Constitution was even ratified. Alexander Hamilton, for instance, was a leading proponent of an active executive. In Federalist No. 70, "The Executive Department Further Considered," he laid out his vision for an energetic branch of the new government. "Energy in the Executive is a leading character in the definition of good government. It is essential to the protection of the community against foreign attacks; it is not less essential to the steady administration of the laws; to the protection of property against those irregular and high-handed combinations which sometimes interrupt the ordinary course of justice; to the security of liberty against the enterprises and assaults of ambition, of faction, and of anarchy."
Hamilton also considers the possible outcome of a weakened, passive executive. "A feeble Executive implies a feeble execution of the government. A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever it may be in theory, must be, in practice, a bad government." From there, he identified what he believed would constitute an active Presidency. "The ingredients which constitute energy in the Executive are, first, unity; secondly, duration; thirdly, an adequate provision for its support; fourthly, competent powers." To address the concerns of his detractors, who believed an active executive would lead to a dictatorship, Hamilton believed accountability to the people would act as a safeguard. "The ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense are, first, a due dependence on the people, secondly, a due responsibility."
To be sure, this debate over energy in the executive has generally been tinged with no shortage of hypocrisy. While Hamilton clearly espoused his views, other Founders such as Thomas Jefferson were much more circumspect. When it was convenient for him, he embraced a brand of republicanism that suggested a much softer approach to executive power than Hamilton. He and his surrogates sharply criticized the centralization of power that had occurred under even George Washington. After Jefferson won the Presidency himself in 1800, he declared it a "revolution," "as real a revolution in the principles of our government as that of 1776 was in its form." Much of his platform was based on unwinding what he saw as government overreach, primarily in the management of the financial sector, the growing costs of government, and the public debt. (Sound familiar?)
At the same time, Jefferson might have done more than any other President in history to advance the powers of the office. First, he rejected the Washingtonian notion that cabinet members should be the best and the brightest, independent of their personal political beliefs or party affiliation. Jefferson stocked his cabinet with loyalists and fired half of the government by the end of his first term. According to Boston University Law Review, "By the end of his administration, Jefferson had given two-thirds of executive offices to members of his party. Jefferson became the inventor, though not the most ruthless practitioner, of the spoils system." This was clearly about power: Jefferson didn't trust an Adams or a Hamilton, as talented as such men could be, to do his bidding.
Jefferson also took an active role in law enforcement, pardoning 10 people convicted under the unpopular Alien and Sedition Act, and refusing to prosecute any others even though the Supreme Court had ruled the act Constitutional, saying "the Executive, believing the law to be unconstitutional, was bound to remit the execution of it; because that power has been confided to him by the Constitution." "You seem to think it devolved on the judges to decide on the validity of the sedition law," he wrote. "But nothing in the Constitution has given them a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. Both magistracies are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them."
Nor was that his only run in with the Constitution. Though he personally felt it was beyond the powers of his office, Jefferson executed the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon, greatly expanding American boundaries. He also launched our first full scale war against the Barbary Pirates. Clearly, Jefferson had no problem wielding executive power when it suited him and he is generally ranked among our top five presidents of all time. As a result, Hamilton's vision of an active executive independent of ideology was largely confirmed within 20 years of the Founding.
Since then, almost every President has sought to take an active role in affairs, embracing the concepts of energy espoused in Federalist No. 70, especially "unity" in the sense that the President is the executive branch and "competence." The question before us today: Where does current President Joe Biden fit into this vision of an energetic executive? Put another way, is he the first passive President in decades if not centuries?
The answer like many things these days is confusing if not downright contradictory. If you are judging energy in the executive by the volume of executive orders, Biden is the most energetic holder of the office ever. To date, he has issued 46 executive orders, on everything from the minimum wage to immigration. In fact, he's issued four this month alone, one on Climate Related Financial Risk, another on the Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment, plus Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity and the Establishment of the Climate Change Support Office. By comparison, former President Trump had signed 35 at this point in his presidency, Barack Obama 20.
At the same time, signing a piece of paper doesn't take much energy. In general, executive orders have become a convenient way to make it appear a President is doing something about an important issue, while in essence doing little except wielding a pen. There are exceptions of course, such as former President Obama and President Trump's contrasting orders on immigration that had a huge effect on policy and went all the way to the Supreme Court. Early on in his Presidency, however, it is difficult to determine if Biden's orders will have the same kind of impact.
We can also, of course, consider his legislative proposals. In this regard, if energy is based on spending and scope, once again Biden ranks as the most energetic President in history. The scale of his proposals is, in a word, unprecedented. Whether the topic is coronavirus relief ($1.9 trillion), infrastructure, complete with an expanded definition (over $2 trillion), or his families plan ($1.8 trillion), Biden clearly has big ideas and isn't afraid to put a whopping price tag on them. Still, it's early and only the coronavirus relief package has passed both houses of Congress and been signed into law. The fate of the other proposals is unknown; they might go nowhere, they might change American life for generations.
Finally, we can consider Biden's presence and engagement in domestic and foreign affairs on a day-to-day basis. How actively is he involved with the issues of the day? How frequently does he engage with the press, appear in public, and take questions?
This is where I believe his passivity, or lack of energy if you prefer, is incontrovertible. First, if you look at the major headlines in the mainstream media, Biden is often somewhat non existent. It's not uncommon to find more reporting on former President Trump than the current occupant of the oval Office. In many ways, the press treats Biden as a passive observer. The political aggregation website, Real Clear Politics, for example, didn't have a single headline or article directly about Biden above the fold yesterday. There were multiple pieces about the riot at the Capitol on January 6, articles on woke culture and the potential origin of coronavirus, and numerous items on the anniversary of George Floyd's death, but Biden warrants barely a mention. "Biden's Catholicism Adds Tension to Debate Over Late-Term Abortion," a quote from Secretary of State Antony Blinken about confronting racism at home, and an editorial on The New York Post, "Iran Plays Games with Nuke Inspections, Team Biden Rolls Over."
As I argued last week, this is far from normal. I also think it reveals a deeper issue and a potential fatal flaw in Biden's Presidency. It has been a truism of American life for generations that whatever the President does is covered by the media, probably too much. From staged appearances, to speeches, to press conferences, to meetings in the Oval Office, if the President is doing something, somewhere, the media is on it. This makes it difficult to avoid the conclusion that the lack of coverage of Biden is driven by an underlying lack of energy and engagement. Put another way, if he were engaging on these issues, he would be covered.
I understand the media themselves would not likely see it that way, especially when they are busy pumping out propaganda about Biden being the next FDR, claiming he is engaged in the details on every issue to the point of snapping at staffers. Nor am I suggesting a President needs to dominate the news everyday, every cycle, but if you look at the two major "crises" that have defined Biden's Presidency to date, it's hard to see how anyone could reasonably describe him as an energetic executive.
First, immigration: Year over year, the traffic over the southern border has increased roughly ten fold, as in ten times as many people crossing into the country illegally. There are more children and family in US custody than ever before. By any definition, this is a major development that has occurred entirely on his watch, and yet Biden hasn't devoted a speech to it, has barely taken any questions about the issue, hasn't visited the border, or met personally with officials from South American countries. Instead, when he correctly labelled it a "crisis," his underlings walked it back on his behalf. Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed, "No, there is no change in position," meaning whatever Biden says and does isn't the actual position of the Administration. Beyond that, he's placed his Vice President, Kamala Harris in charge, and she has been equally absent on the issue. She has not held a press conference, taken any questions, or headed to the border herself.
Second, the 11 days of renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas: The first major conflict in 7 years and, yet, again there were no speeches or press conferences, merely a handful of statements, some of which were rebuffed without a second thought by Israel. As far as we can tell, Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu twice over the course of fighting that left hundreds dead including women and children. On the first call, he stressed his "firm support for Israel's right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks" and on the second he demanded a cease fire. He also spoke to the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, largely credited with negotiating the cease fire, precisely twice. According to the White House website, he spoke to no other world leaders during this period and delivered no other formal remarks. Perhaps even worse, 500 Democratic staffers, as in members of his own party, are urging him to hold Israel accountable, suggesting once again that Biden's position on an issue might not be his own, or at least there are large numbers of his party that feel comfortable enough to be vocal in their disagreement.
This is, of course, the Biden that many conservatives like myself see almost every time he appears. Unfortunately, to some extent the White House's website agrees. The Briefing Room is the Administration's own propaganda service, and even the substance is meager, more of a sparse news feed than a bully pulpit. Biden makes the occasional statement, signs executive orders, and delivers a few remarks. The remarks and the statements tend to be anodyne, boilerplate items, not the sort of things that drive debate or move a country.
For example, on Tuesday, "The Floyd family meeting went incredibly well. We spent a long time together. I spent — I got a chance to spend a lot of time with Gianna and the family. And we just talked about — you know, it's the one-year anniversary, and those of you who've been through personal loss know that although every anniversary is — you're happy people remember, it also brings everything back immediately like it happened that day. It takes a lot of courage to go through it." From there, they often descend into contradictions, "And I think they spoke to you. Maybe they didn't speak to you; they spoke to some of you. I think they were very pleased with the time we spent together. It was mostly personal. We spent a long time — I guess, almost a couple of hours."
I'll leave it to you to decide whether statements like that constitute a lack of energy, but I believe the broader point remains: Biden, as in the man personally, what he is doing and what he is managing, is showing many signs that he is on track to the most passive President in decades. He has not shown energy in leadership or engagement, his own administration and party questions his decisions, and competence appears to be lacking. Furthermore, the security Hamilton identified in accountability is clearly undermined by a lack of public appearances. He cannot show "due dependence on the people, secondly, a due responsibility" without appearing before the people.
I'll admit it's early on and perhaps too soon to tell, but this combination does not bode well should a real crisis occur, as it surely will. At the same time, we should all hope I am wrong, and Hamilton is as well. We cannot afford to make this statement true: "A feeble Executive implies a feeble execution of the government. A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever it may be in theory, must be, in practice, a bad government."

Sangweni, others to speak at Sub Saharan Africa Upstream Oil and gas Summit
Charles Jimmy Sangweni, Acting Director General, Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority, (PURA) will be among the speakers at the upcoming Sub Saharan Africa Upstream Oil and gas Summit in Tanzania.
This was confirmed in a statement by Dapo Ayoola, CEO, Sub Saharan Africa Upstream Oil and gas Summit, organizers of the summit.
Sangweni is a holder of a Master Degree in Gas Engineering and Management from the University of Salford, UK.
He is also a holder of a Bachelor degree in Chemical and Process Engineering from the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Before joining PURA, Mr. Sangweni worked with Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) and several oil companies in and out of his home country.
These include, Caltex Oil (Kenya) Ltd, Caltex Oil (Tanzania) Ltd and GAPCO (Uganda) Ltd.
Thereafter, he joined TPDC in 2008 as a Senior Research Officer where he acquired skills and knowledge on natural gas chain, from its production to utilization.
He is among key members of the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) for the Tanzania National Natural Gas Infrastructure Project (NNGIP) which commenced successfully in 2015.
Besides these projects, Sangweni has been involved in several projects on natural gas development and utilization.
Another confirmed speaker for the event is Eng. Charles Omujun, Director of Natural Gas, Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority, (EWURA).
The Authority is responsible for regulating midstream and downstream natural gas activities that include processing, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas in Mainland Tanzania.
The regulated infrastructures include processing plants, transmission and distribution pipelines, and storage facilities.
Scheduled to hold between April 9-11, 2019, the summit will provide opportunities for an exchange of ideas on best practices between investors and regulator.
A major challenge to the continent's growth in the sector is the lack of sustainable funding mechanism.
However, Ayoola said this will be discussed at the summit.
He said, "Like any other sector, the challenges are there but the way we are approaching the challenges is focusing on opportunities and talking to regulators. If regulators are upfront with investors by telling them what they need to do and then we get a checklist, that's all an investor wants to know.
"At the summit, we will also discuss funding opportunities. Can we pull together as a continent and fund genuine investment opportunities on our soil?
Speaking on the gains of past events, he said, "Despite it being an up and coming platform, we are beginning to see the impact.
"Specifically, during the first edition in 2015, Nigeria Petroleum Exchange (NIPEX) was there and they had a stand. We had a gentleman there from Uganda.
"Today, NIPEX is consulting for Uganda regulators, supporting them on how to start a Petroleum Exchange which will be the first in East Africa. This is a nation to nation benefit
"We also introduced a Women in Petroleum Forum in order to emphasize that the oil and gas industry is a multi discipline sector with no gender bias. There's a place for both male and female," he added.

5 axis machining refers to the machining of a part whereas the part geometry is typically complex and requires the machine tool to position and articulate the cutting tool along 5 axes of motion vs. the more common 3 axes of motion. The CNC machine tools used in this process are called 5-axis machines or 5-axis machining centers. 5 axis machining is most commonly used in the aerospace industry to machine airframe components that have draft surfaces, turbine engine components and impellers. 5 axis machines can also increase efficiency on prismatic parts by allowing multiple sides of a part to be machined in a single setup.
5-valve manifolds are designed for differential pressure applications. These are metal-seated with a globe configuration designed for high -temperature service. The seat is a free-swiveling stainless steel ball sealing on a line contact at the orifice. This manifold is utilized with various types of transmitters used to measure differential pressure.

Bal and Bram serve up gaming news, views and related shenanigans!
So Unreal turns 20 years old now. And I do remember the first day I got this game back in 1998, tossing it in my 166 MMX with 32mb of ram and a 4mb Voodoo one 3dfx card. It ran fine for the most part, but was a bit choppy on the larger levels. But still I enjoyed it enough that it's still on my top 10 list after all these years. I still have my Voodoo 1 and the 166MMX. But no motherboard to use it on. So I have a PIII 550 with Voodoo 3 that has it installed. And I did play it there from start to end a few months ago, not knowing the 20 year anniversary was that close.
So to celebrate that, GOG has some great deals on older Unreal games, and even gives the first one away for free. You can ofc pick up your copy here DRM free. And start the bot matches or the 13 hour long story. The Gold version also includes the addon story.
If you have never played it, now would be a good time. It has aged rather well. And there are HD mods to make it look even better. I recommend installing nGlide and using 3dfx, as it looks better and has more details then the openGL version.


At any rate, thanks to everybody! Please let me hear from you....I've copied below a letter I had waiting on me when I got back...Can't tell you what your words mean Daniel. Thanks!
Hey Brad. Hope all is well with you and your ministry. I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming to lake J this past weekend. It was so awsome to see God work through you. I had just returned on the first from a mision trip down to Gueatemala. I saw Dios (God) do some really amazing things down there. Then after coming back to the states i had one day at home and then left for lake J. After all the amazing things i saw God do down there i thought that i was going to be kinda numb to seeing miricals, but i was wrong. Several people from my youth group rededicated there lift to Christ. I actually prayed a very simple prayer on the way up there because i felt as if God was calling me into the mission field. I prayed that he would show me that weekend if that was what he wanted me to do and HE DID. I just have one question thought. How can i be sertain that is what he wants me to do? But thanks so much for coming and letting God work through you. (the song that you sang on the last day in spanish about Gods love is great great great really touched me because we also sang it in Gueatemala) Hope to see you again sometime, but untill then i can know we are always together in some ways (our hearts beat together and our hearts beat for God) and will hopefully see each other in Heaven.

Home Features David Wagner's Disciple: Tommy Smith
David Wagner's Disciple: Tommy Smith
Following David Wagner's arrival, there was clearly an issue that needed to be addressed, the defence. Since Town's promotion after the dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Sheffield United, Town had leaked over 70 goals every single season.
In the summer, David Wagner made the decision to revamp the entire defence in the summer, with only one player managing to survive the much needed wholesale changes, Tommy Smith.
The influence of David Wagner and his system
Some questions were raised about whether Town should've further strengthened the right-back position with Tommy Smith potentially being an understudy. However, David Wagner remained loyal to Smith and as this season has proved, Wagner's faith has been fully repaid.
It only took a pre-season with David Wagner to truly unlock the potential of Tommy Smith. In previous years, Smith appeared to be caught in two minds, whether to stick to his defensive duties or being a supporting attacking outlet. However, this season, Tommy Smith has known exactly what his role is within David Wagner's system.
In David Wagner's system, we have seen Tommy Smith play almost as an orthodox right midfielder when Town are in possession as Smith and Lowe have pinned the opposition into their own half. We have also seen Tommy Smith begin a number of attacks after picking up possession and surging up the field to push the opposition even further back.
In recent years, Smith may have taken the easier option by playing a pass in-field and retreating to his defensive position. However, within David Wagner's system, we have seen Tommy Smith oozing with confidence and positivity.
Tommy Smith's forward forays
Within David Wagner's fluid 4-2-3-1 system, we have also witnessed a burgeoning relationship between Tommy Smith and Elias Kachunga. Although Elias Kachunga is an orthodox centre-forward, he has been operating from the right as an inside forward.
This has proved to be a masterstroke by David Wagner as it has given Tommy Smith the license to attack down the right hand flank and link up well with Elias Kachunga whilst also allowing Kachunga to be the penalty box threat that he was expected to be.
The assist to goal combination between Tommy Smith and Elias Kachunga this season has resulted in seven goals, which is, the most effective combination in the entirety of the Championship.
As David Wagner has offered Tommy Smith a license of freedom on the right hand flank, he has more than took the opportunity as he has scored vital goals in the victories over Rotherham United and Aston Villa.
Even more notably, Smith has also provided ten assists this season, joint second with Tom Cairney, Sone Aluko and Albert Adomah. Considering that Tommy Smith is keeping company with some of the most creative and highly regarded players in the Championship as a defender, it shows just how impressive he has been this season.
Considering that Tommy Smith is keeping company with some of the most creative and highly regarded players in the Championship as a defender, it shows just how impressive he has been this season.
Well deserved recognition
As the season has grown on, we have witnessed as fans, a transformation. Not only a transformation of the club from one that was treading water above the relegation zone to one competing for promotion but also a transformation epitomised by Tommy Smith.
The consistently impressive performances of Tommy Smith were rewarded by David Wagner as he gave Smith the captaincy as Smith has grown into a leader on and off the field.
More generally, Tommy Smith's performances have been recognised as he alongside his teammate Aaron Mooy were chosen to be in the EFL Championship Team of the Season, a magnificent and well-deserved feat for Town's captain.
Whereas many questioned at the start of the season whether or not Tommy Smith had the ability to step up as part of a team chasing for promotion, he has answered every question and silenced every doubter.
With David Wagner often heralded as a miracle worker for his work at Huddersfield Town, Tommy Smith has become David Wagner's disciple as one of the most improved, if not the most improved player since David Wagner's arrival.

Artist who let Crumbleys in Detroit building meets with detectives
Elisha Anderson
Detectives in the Oakland County Sheriff's Office interviewed a 65-year-old artist Monday afternoon who had allowed the parents of the teen charged in the Oxford High School shooting into a Detroit warehouse where they were found and arrested over the weekend.
Andrzej Sikora met with detectives at 3 p.m. and spent two hours answering questions, said his attorney, Clarence Dass. Shortly after, law enforcement authorities searched Sikora's home in suburban Troy, specifically for his phones and computers, Dass said.
"Mr. Sikora did not assist the Crumbleys in evading law enforcement, did not know there was a warrant for their arrest, and did not know they were at his art studio at the time of their arrest," Dass said in a statement. "He has not been charged with any crime, and will continue to assist members of law enforcement in their pursuit of justice."
Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said the interview wrapped up just after 5 p.m.
"He cooperated with our detectives," McCabe said.
The Sheriff's Office did not release details of its investigation and issued a news release late Monday that said information from the investigation will be presented to prosecutors to determine whether any charges are warranted.
"The issue for detectives is what did Sikora know and when did he know it," the release said.
His attorney said Sikora didn't know all the circumstances surrounding what was going on with James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents, on Friday.

Police arrested the couple early Saturday morning in the building on Detroit's east side after a citizen saw the Crumbleys' vehicle late Friday and called police.
James Crumbley, 45, and Jennifer Crumbley, 43, were both charged Friday afternoon. Later that afternoon, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office issued a news release saying deputies were trying to locate the couple. That night, the U.S. Marshals Service offered a reward for information leading to their arrests.
They each face four counts of involuntary manslaughter connected to the shooting.
Dass said the Crumbleys went to the building, which houses a number of ventures, including a studio of Sikora's, Friday morning before charges were announced. He let them stay there to get away from the media and threats that were occurring, Dass said.
Sikora left at 5 p.m. and went home thinking they were also going to leave at some point, his lawyer told the Free Press. Sikora didn't know they were in the studio as late as they were.
The building is located in the 1100 block of Bellevue near Belle Isle in Detroit.
Dass has said his client contacted the Detroit Police Department and the Sheriff's Office to provide information after learning of the Crumbleys' arrests.
Sikora is a social acquaintance of the Crumbleys, Dass said. His client and Jennifer Crumbley were on the ski patrol team at Pine Knob. They also shared an interest in horseback riding.
Sikora was born in Zielona Gora, Poland, and moved to the U.S. in 1990, according to his website. He is known for his mural work in several private residences and businesses around metro Detroit.
The couple's son, Ethan Crumbley, is charged in the killings of four students and charged with injuring seven others, including a teacher, during the school shooting last week in a suburb about 45 minutes away from downtown Detroit.
All three are all housed in the Oakland County Jail, but won't be allowed to interact with each other, officials said.

Architecture of Imagination
The Fall of Babylon (1831) John Martin (17891854). Mezzotint; Courtesy of Gavin Stamp. It has been pointed out recently by Gavin Stamp that this artist, long known as "Mad" in architectural circles, was in fact brother to the notorious "Mad Martin," an individual with dangerous pyromaniacal tendencies. Still, John, a gifted artist, was at the very least "troubled" by recurring biblical visions of apocalyptic grandeur which, through all their emotional hyperbole, displayed a remarkable and forward-looking design talent. His images struck a deeply responsive public chord in his day, speaking to higher social and spiritual concerns.
Cross-Section of Newton's Cenotaph, Interior Night Effect. (1784) Artist/Designer: Etienne-Louis Boullee. Ink and wash, 39.8cm 5.5cm; Courtesy of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris. "The shape of the sphere," wrote Boullee, "offers the largest surface to the eye, and this lends it majesty. It has the utmost simplicity because that surface is flawless and endless." Boullee's beloved perfect spherical shape was most appropriate to his homage to Newton, the "Universal Man" whom Boullee himself in the effusive dedication for this design termed the "Vast and profound genius!'' and consequently he wrote, "I conceived the idea of surrounding thee with thy discovery and thus, somehow, surrounding thee with thyself."
Cross-Section of Newtons Cenotaph, Interior Day Effect (1784) Artist/Designer: Etienne-Louis Boullee. Ink and wash, 39.8cm 25.5cm; Courtesy of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris. At night, the interior of the sphere was to be illuminated with a large lamp to simulate daylight, while, during the day, sunlight filtering through small holes which pierced the sphere would create the effect of stars in the heavens. Newton's sarcophagus was to be the only material object in this "perfect" universe. In light of this concept's perfect realization, discussions of its "buildability" are irrelevant and superfluous.
Inspector's House at the Source of the Loue, Chaux Project. (17731779) Artist/Designer: Claude-Nicolas Ledoux. Engraving after Ledoux by Van Maelle and Maillet., 47cm 28.7cm; Courtesy of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris. Possibly the most important and revolutionary of the visionary French "Romantic classicists," Ledoux designed this remarkably functional structure (for his partially realized project, the ideal town of Chaux), which typified his interest in purity of concept as expressed through purity of form.
Eye Reflecting the Theatre of Besancon. (CA.1784) Artist/Designer: Claude- Nicolas Ledoux. Engraving after Ledoux, 47cm 28.7cm; Courtesy of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris. This strange image, showing the interior of the constructed theater one of Ledoux's own designsreflected in an eye, is further distinguished by the addition of a mysterious ray of light emanating from above and illuminating, possibly, that which was, which is, and is yet to come.
Southern View of Cow's Stable on a Cool Meadow (CA.1790) Artist/Designer: Jean-Jacques LeQueu. Watercolor, 21.2cm 29cm; Courtesy of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris. The intellectual rigor and purity of Rationalism collides with a more emotive Romanticism in this odd but engaging work done in a world on the very threshold of change. Humor, as a tangent to extreme "reason," may very likely have been an intended component of this design for a cow stable in the shape of a cow.

Oil on canvas, 90.2cm 130.2cm; Courtesy of The Royal Collection, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This wonderfully harmonius composition was, like much of Canaletto's work, commissioned by his patron Joseph Smith as an "overdoor" canvas. Unlike most of his work, however, this was an illustration of an actual, though slightly adapted, design entered many years earlier in a Venetian competition to replace the aged bridge at the Rialto. This view depicts Palladio's own design from about 1570 for a substantial stone structure (with Canaletto's addition of statuary to the roof); another architect's design, however, was awarded the commission.

Escher was fixated upon the idea of boundaries"insides" and "outsides." Art and life for him were about mankind's struggle to get beyond the limits of ourselves; and to achieve the Absolute. Seen from an atypical, three-point perspective aerial point-of-view, the Tower is under construction. It is not object or goal but journey, destination, and process.
Vast Interior with Temple. Karl Friedrich Schinkel (17811841). Pen and wash, 58.6cm 78.98cm; Courtesy of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Homeless Deconstructivism. (1992) Luis Blanc. Wax pencil on vellum, 47.4cm 38.4cm The uncanny resemblance of so much "current architectural . . . ISM" to the slapdash shelters, devised and constructed by those truly in need of shelter, inspired this artist to lend his considerable image-making ability to an editorial and political end.
Proposed Arts and Culture Center, Rome. (1987) T.W. Schaller. Watercolor, 56cm 86cm An "ideal" object in space was the aim of this piece which silhouettes its subject by allowing it to emit light as much as to receive it.

Il calendario del pastore (in inglese The Shepheardes Calender) è la prima opera in poesia di Edmund Spenser scritta intorno al 1579 e dedicata a Philip Sidney.

È una raccolta di 12 egloghe che segue le Bucoliche di Publio Virgilio Marone. Il tema di ogni ecloga varia per ogni mese dell'anno, e il mese più interessante è April, dedicato alla regina Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra, embrione del poema epico La regina delle fate.

È scritto secondo il punto di vista di vari pastori dotti, che commentano i difetti della vita di corte. L'intero poema è un'allegoria dello stato dell'umanità. Vi è una grande varietà di metri e di stili.

Nasa Hataoka wins Kia Classic for 3rd LPGA Tour victory
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Nasa Hataoka won the Kia Classic on Sunday at Aviara Golf Club for her third victory in her last 16 LPGA Tour starts. The 20-year-old Japanese player closed with a 5-under 67 for a three-stroke victory over playing partner Inbee Park, top-ranked Sung Hyun Park, Jin Young Ko, Azahara Munoz and Danielle Kang.

"First couple days I wasn't putting very well so I didn't really think I could pull this off," Hataoka said through a translator. "Until the 18th hole, anything could happen, but I was just very relieved that my second shot landed on the putting surface."
After driving left into the water en route to a bogey on the par-4 16th, Hataoka hit a sand wedge to a foot for birdie on the par-5 17th and closed with a par on the par-4 18th. "I forgot about the bogey very quickly," she said. "I knew that 17 was a chance I could make a birdie, and just very relieved and felt great that I was able to actually get a birdie."
Hataoka shot a 64 on Saturday to pull within a stroke of Inbee Park entering the final round in the final event before the major ANA Inspiration at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage. "Big tournament coming up next week, so I'll celebrate a little bit but get my mind refreshed and start again next week," Hataoka said.
Hataoka finished at 18-under 270. She won the NW Arkansas Championship and Japan Classic last year. "She played really solid," Inbee Park said. "Didn't really look like she was feeling the pressure, especially in the way she played the last hole. Just very smart."
Winless in 12 months, Inbee Park had a 71 to miss a chance for her 20th LPGA Tour victory. "Just unfortunate day with the putter," she said. "Never wanted to go in. Just one of those days. I just have to take it. I think it's still a very good momentum going into next week."
Sung Hyun Park also shot 71. Ko and Kang had 65s, and Munoz a 68. Ko won the Founders Cup last week in Phoenix. Hyo Joo Kim matched the course record with a 62 to tie for seventh at 14 under. She parred the first five holes, then played the final 13 in 10 under with an eagle on 16.
"I felt like I had a really great rhythm," Kim said. "I want to continue that going into next week's major."

'Monetisation should not outweigh consumer benefit,' Shine Technologies Roi Carthy speaks to adland
By Ronan Shields - February 26, 2016
Labelled as 'terrorists' and 'extortionists' by leading personalities in the IAB and elsewhere, the hard truth of the matter is that ad blockers are now stakeholders in the business. Post the announcement of Three's deal with Shine Technologies to block attempts to serve the mobile network's users with ads, The Drum caught up with its leading spokesman, and CMO of the year 2015, Roi Carthy to gauge further insight into his convictions.
Roi Carthy could arguably be described as the most controversial CMO in the business. Although his company isn't consumer-facing in itself, he has positioned Shine Technologies as the ultimate safeguard for consumers by offering to block attempts to serve bandwidth-hungry ads to mobile network subscribers.
Understandably, this is much to the umbrage of online media owners, many of whom voiced supercilious judgements on the MWC stage to Carthy's very face at Mobile World Congress this year, with advertisers increasingly offering their take on this seemingly internecine struggle.
For Three, the announcement was meant to be its major declaration of intent and wrest back control of its own destiny during Mobile World Congress, although in the tussles of the media powergame the story broke in the days leading up to MWC.
Network operators Vs. Media owners
Three's ambitions to itself build a sizeable mobile operator business in recent years have been well noted. Mobile operators are all keen to position themselves as masters of their own destiny, as opposed to being a dumb pipe where over-the-top (OTT) services providers - that's telecoms speak for companies like Apple, and Google, etc.
Such players earn literally billions each year with mobile networks doing much of the heavy lifting, and in return they receive virtually zero, but deals bartered with 'network security' companies such as Shine empower them with a big bargaining chip when it comes to squaring that circle.
"Having a nuclear bomb at the end of a [network operator's] pipe is quite a powerful tool," says Carthy speaking with The Drum in a demure meeting room positioned on the outer reaches of MWC, that is understandably quite some distance from the epicentre of the advertising strand of the conference.
The ad blocker that is not anti-advertising
Carthy is also keen to point out that his company is not anti-advertising; instead it is pro consumer protection. Rather, Shine's attempts to impose itself on the advertising sector are born out of the fact that its cofounders think there is presently "no law and order" in the sector, he adds.
This has resulted in a Wild West-style scenario where literally thousands of tracking companies use monitoring technologies to win their share of each ad dollar spent, resulting in a poor user experience, plus the potential dissemination of malicious software.
"There is a lot of abusive tech out there, and absolutely no regulatory measures for the control of it," adds Carthy.
Shine's narrative is that mobile operators are some of the best positioned players to help establish such a consensus, and downgrade some of the abusive acts of ad tech. But it is also worth remembering that it also positions them to potentially generate new revenue streams from ads served across their networks.
"We realise that if we get enough people to opt in, then we can get closer to that law and order," he adds, although he refuses to be drawn further on the reported 50-60 mobile operators Shine Technologies is reported to be in talks with.
Peace talks with advertisers?
"The big players understand the problem, and although Shine is seen as a blunt tool, I think just about everybody in the sector realises there is a middle ground that has to be reached," says Carthy, offering his assessment of how the industry will evolve beyond a stalemate.
"New rules of engagement need to come about in online advertising. There are progressive voices [among advertisers] that would like to see that happen," he adds. "Certainly, we complicate their lives, but the consumer is not going to feel the brunt of their dissatisfaction."
When quizzed if he foresees a scenario with ad blockers and telecoms operators engaging in a dialogue with advertisers to agree a consensus on an appropriate means of targeting and tracking mobile network users (similar to fellow 'consumer advocates' AdBlock Plus' Camp David talks), Carthy is also pensive.
"Ultimately, this would depend on who is sat around the table, but no matter what you agree with one person, you are always going to find someone else that's going to pooh-pooh it," he says.
"Whatever agreement comes about, not everyone will applaud, but one thing Shine will not do is look the other way. We're not going to let people pull a fast one and let the situation that exists today continue just because it's within our commercial benefit."
No such talks are happening at present, according to sources consulted by The Drum, but certain mobile advertising specialists consulted in the research of this piece did concede they were looking at factoring-in carrier delivery fees, i.e. where they would compensate a network carrier for the cost of ad delivery, into their billing models.
The ethics of ad blocking
Shine Technologies has also been shy of publicly revealing its plans for monetisation, but similar to AdBlock Plus has come in for criticism by its detractors that it is a for-profit company, and not a trust. However, Carthy claims market forces can also play a role in consumer protection.
"You only have to look at the Luma Scape to get the full horror of ad tech," he says. "We believe that you need a commercial entity to battle this thing. You need a company that is as motivated to protect consumers, as ad tech is to monetise them. So we do not apologise for having investors that want their money back, and making a living. We believe that we can monetise by having a relationship of trust and transparency with consumers."
In addition, in reference to Google, he quips: "We remember that there was a company that said 'do no evil', and they did many great things, but when you talk about ad tech and realise there's going to be $7bn in online ad fraud in the US alone this year, and consumers are a part of this against their will."
He goes on to cite fraudulent activity such as ad stacking, where multiple ads are placed in one ad slot, which then negatively impacts the speed of the user's page load times, etc., as an example of how the 'chaotic' ad tech ecosystem is harming consumers. "The consumer is in the middle of all this, these things aren't victimless crimes," adds Carthy.
Shine's answer to embattled publishers
When pressed on how ad blockers are impacting the embattled publisher sector, and the fallout for their employees., Carthy says the emergence of ad blockers is just the latest iteration in a long line of challenges they have to deal with, similar to how the emergence of Google and Facebook interrupted their earlier modus operandi.
"The publishing industry has had to undergo a series of phases of forced innovation, such as the move from print to digital, the impact of social, and then mobile. Some publishers are going to be able to meet this challenge, and some are not," he says.
"You can't cry for every newspaper that's closed. And it's not as if journalism has ended, we have more great journalism than ever before, for instance you have businesses like Buzzfeed that have come up with some great journalism and been able to meet this evolution of digital, both commercially and journalistically," adds Carthy.
Simply put, publishers will have to find a way to keep up with the times, according to Carthy. "But monetisation should not outweigh consumer benefit, and some publishers are not going to be able to make it to the other side. However, I'd say this is more of an opportunity than anything else."
So what is acceptable to ad blockers?
When further pressed on what he - as a marketer - deems as 'acceptable advertising' Carthy identifies core tenets that advertisers should pay attention to.
"There are certainly core principles around latency, volume, UX issues, tracking, and the size of the ads delivered, plus what types of new formats, these all have to be considered," he concludes.

Dragon Warrior Monsters: How A Top Game Boy Color RPG Went Practically Unnoticed
Dragon Warrior Monsters (DWM) is a Game Boy Color RPG that had all the makings of a masterpiece, but it never got the international success of similar titles. Why? Well, it was going head to head with the juggernaut that is Pokémon.
Dragon Warrior Monsters had so much going for it in terms of unique gameplay but it only sold a measly 60,000 cartridges during the early part of its release in the U.S. In Japan, that number was over a million.
I'm going to show you why this title had everything to become a hit game except the timing, and why retro RPG lovers should still check it out today.
(It's cheap, too. Here's our affiliate link.)
Behind the curve all the way
The release date for Dragon Warrior Monsters definitely held the game back from achieving great sales in the U.S.The game came out almost two full years after the first Pokémon, and even its collection of cool features couldn't save it.
Dragon Warrior Monsters launched with tons of monsters to catch, a cool breeding system, a fresh story, and a new take on a beloved game world. Yet, it did so when most gamers were anticipating the followup to Pokémon, a game that had already become a cultural icon. Worse yet, DWM came out and it was regarded by people in the U.S. as "just another Pokémon clone."
Is that criticism of the game warranted? Sure, the Dragon Warrior series hadn't done anything like this before and it looks like an attempt to cash in on the success of more popular franchises.
(Here's a hefty post about the surprising history of Dragon Warrior and JRPGs, if you want to know what "puff-puff" means.)
Does that mean this game sucked? Hell no! It has all kinds of neat features that still hold up among other top Game Boy Color RPGs of the time. The game developer and publisher just had the misfortune of getting smothered by Pokémon and even Digimon to some degree.
Another thing that didn't help Dragon Warrior Monsters was that it came out three months before the PlayStation 2 first launched. It's almost like the people in charge of publishing this game purposely waited to release it in the most challenging year possible.
Dragon Warrior Monsters Had Tons of Monsters
Are you…robbing us?
Dragon Warrior Monsters showed up with over 200 monsters that you could get to fight on your side or create through breeding. They led the monster race from September 1998 until November 1999 until Pokémon Silver and Gold came out.
Why didn't this Game Boy Color RPG crush the monster market and launch all kinds of different merchandise? Because Dragon Warrior Monsters failed to learn a lesson: It's not the size of your bestiary, baby; it's how you use it.
On one hand, the monsters were familiar to players from the original Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior in the U.S.). You would see various kinds of Slimes, Bloody Hands, and Medusas. Players had fought these monsters before in the main series, and now they could command them, so it had the potential to be awesome. The game even included boss monsters that you could turn into your own personal fighters.
On the other hand, the monsters included hybrid bees, undead dogs, and mud mannequins- stuff you would never be able to convince people to cuddle with. That's why Slimes were one of the only toys made from the game series- everything else was too skeevy for the age group.
DWM definitely did the right thing in terms of monster choices, but they never bothered to make them likeable. Without that element, people wouldn't want to collect them the same way they wanted to snuggle with a Pikachu.
Like it or not, the fact that the monsters in this game were actual monsters and not cutesy little things harmed the appeal from an important standpoint- the parents. You don't buy your kid a Bloody Hand replica unless you want him to grow up to be a movie villain.
Either way, this game has plenty of monsters to catch for old school people looking for a Game Boy Color RPG to pour some time into.
The Breeding System Was Unique but Difficult
Wedding? I don't see any no cake.
Dragon Warrior Monsters made the foray into breeding before Pokémon. The breeding system required some real thought, too. You had to get compatible monsters both in terms of sex and monster type to breed something that was going to be useful. Otherwise, you just wasted a lot of time and effort tracking down monsters because the parents disappear after breeding.
They hit it, quit it, and leave you with the kid. I don't know whether that's funny or sad. Just kidding, it's funny.
If you breed two of your three main monsters, then you're going to need to grind a little more just to get your group strong again. Every time you breed, you have to invest time to bring your new beast up to par.
The game compensated you by making the child stronger than the parents, adding a "+" to denote its power relative to a base form. I usually started out by breeding until I got a Grizzly and used him to get me through the early tournament stages. You could breed that with other animal type monsters just to get some extra "+" levels on it and rock house until C class.
While this wasn't the first monster breeding game, I think this mating system was the best for the Game Boy Color. The only problem was that breeding is damn-near necessary for this game, and it wasn't straight-forward. That level of difficulty may have been too much for the young audiences to handle and drove some people away from the game.
I thought that people would have picked this up just to try something new. Alas, the game was overshadowed by Pokémon and the release of new systems. The breeding system wasn't enough to get big sales numbers.
By the time people could get their hands on this game, they were already waiting for the next generation of Pokémon to come through which prominently featured breeding on the promotional materials. In that one, you even get to keep the parents and it's a lot more straightforward.
DWM Was Too Cold-Blooded for Some
You're goddamn right.
The way that Dragon Warrior Monsters presented itself was less sensitive than other games, and that may have affected its appeal to players. On the surface, both games are about collecting monsters, and that was enough for DWM to incur the wrath of critics that denounced it for being similar to games like Pokémon.
The truth is a little more complicated. The goal in Pokémon was to "catch em all." You go out in the world to fill up your Pokedex. When they're not with you, all 150 Pokémon can be safely stored in your PC. The goal in Dragon Warrior Monsters is to get strong enough to win the Monster Trainer's Starry Night Tournament and earn a wish so you can get back your kidnapped sister.
The different goals of the two games are clearly reflected in the monster storage. In DWM, you get roughly 40 storage spots and over 200 monsters are in the game. You're not here to collect monsters, you're there to breed the strongest ones, kick ass, and save your sis.
The goal of creating super-powered beings through multi-generational breeding along with a dash of trial and error made DWM a little edgier than other monster collecting games. Those games emphasized friendship, love, and compassion for your collectable creatures. DWM let you off the chain to be a mad scientist in the best ways possible.
Keep up, everyone.
If your monsters got KO'd, they didn't go back to a ball. You dragged that corpse around with you until you got back to town. That might have made the game a little less appealing to audiences, especially parents that were still worried that video games were causing their kids to act like jerks.
In short, the "icky" parts of luring monsters with meat, making them fight, and breeding them were shoved to the forefront, and the game didn't have a cute electric mouse charming the crowd every Saturday morning to smooth out those edges.
Those are some of the ways that one of the top Game Boy Color RPGs (in my estimation at least) got lost in the vast world of video games releases.
Of course, the extent to which these issues affected the sales of the game is impossible to calculate. It's just unusual to see a game with so many cool features get snubbed in a time when monster games were all the rage.
Personally, I felt that capturing, raising, and breeding monsters in this title was amazing. You might not have wanted to pick up your Metal Slime and hug it, but breeding a tough dragon monster to pull you through S class felt like a serious accomplishment.
The tournaments were difficult and made you balance your party, especially since you fought 3 on 3 every time. Your team's fighting capabilities made you carefully think about your next move in a way that Pokémon wouldn't do for yet another generation. Dragon Warrior Monsters could be unforgiving and it was definitely a little edgier, but I wish it got more widespread attention for what it brought to the genre.
Instead, it undersold and received some decent ports a decade later. In truth, I think that we could use another modern entry into this series, just to shake things up in the game of monster-raising games.

Hello Everyone, I have just had the opportunity to attend Polish Restaurant Week and decided to share my experience with you. Considered as one of Poland's biggest restaurant festivals, the Restaurant Week just took place between the 20 October 2017. Hundreds of restaurants from over 30 Polish cities participate in this unique festival each year, providing customers with an opportunity to try out a three-course meal for just under 50 PLN / 14$ / 12 €.
This restaurant is an ornate, modern spot serving Thai, Korean and Japanese dishes with European, Mediterranean and Mexican influences. They also have a separate Sushi bar, exclusively for Sushi lovers just around the corner. I loved the interiors modern, spacious, greenery everywhere, a modern water-fall wall, comfortable seating and great ambience. What caught my attention was the paintings on one of the walls. There were three paintings, each with the outline of two to four Japanese women in Kimono, but at various historic spots in Krakow. A fusion of two world's!
Started in the year 2014, this past week's event marked the 10th Edition of Poland Restaurant Week. The participating restaurants are carefully handpicked and are considered to be some of Poland's finest and most interesting restaurants. It is a celebration of the constantly rising level of the Polish restaurant scene and a unique opportunity to experience the best restaurants in their outstanding, festival edition. The team responsible for the event state-"We are a group of culinary and gastronomical enthusiasts. Our mission is to promote the high level of Poland's restaurant scene and to support its development by bringing the restaurants closer to our guests with our recurrent and consistent festival model." Gone are the days of when one would consider that Polish cuisine only consisted of groats, potatoes and meat!
How to book a table?
Since I live in Krakow, I was excited to try out some restaurants here which I had never been to before. I will be quite honest, I am the type who usually enjoys home cooked meal any given day, especially when the cooking is done by me. However, what I liked about the concept of this festival, is the abundance of choice. You can not only choose the restaurant, but also the date and time and of course the number of people. In order to participate in the Restaurant Week, one must simply create an account or use Facebook credentials to create one. Then after login in, simply choose the number of persons and the restaurant of choice and the suitable timings and then pay for it online. You have up to 24 hours prior to lunch or dinner to cancel or change a reservation.
Each restaurant offers a three-course meal to choose from, which is perfect as there are two separate menus prepared. So, if you are two people, then each of you can have two different dishes to try out and of course if you are open to share, then you can even share each other's dishes, just to try it out. Since the festival lasts a whole week, one can enjoy the delights of having a 3-course meal at some of the city's best restaurants for a fraction of the original price. Your reservation guarantees you a 90-minute fine dining experience. What more could one ask for, considering the normal prices at any of these restaurants will most definitely be on the higher side. They also offer 8th person free, if you book as a large group!
If I could pick just one restaurant!
Since this festival is quite popular, I recommend to book in early if you would like to have a spot on the table. As I noticed some of them were sold pretty quickly. Also as I mentioned above, you have to choose your date and time of preference in advance, since I could only manage on the weekends I booked a table at Edo Fusion Restaurant close to Kazimierz. I was really craving some Ramen or Pho after I saw it at another Sushi restaurant close to Krakow's city center.
First up we were served, Prawn crackers as a starter with some kind of fruit sauce or jam. I am not sure what the sauce was, but it was delicious. This was followed up by our first dish. I had the Vietnamese dish Pho-Bho and my boyfriend the Tempura Moriawase. I really enjoyed the soup, as it was fresh and had a nice clean taste. It is a flagship Vietnamese dish. The meat is long cooked served with vegetable broth which includes spices such as coriander, anise and cinnamon, which gives the soup its unique aroma and taste. Served with noodles, blanched beef tenderloin and Won-dum dumplings. The tempura, is a mix of seafood and vegetables deep-fried in batter. We enjoyed our first dishes. My second dish was Beef Satay – slices of marinated beef fried with sugar snap peas, jalapeno peppers and mung bean sprouts in aromatic, spicy peanut sauce. Served with jasmine rice, fresh coriander and cashews. This was my favorite dish of the whole lot. My boyfriend had the Sushi set which included –uramaki sake california 2 pcs, uramaki california 2 pcs, nigiri masu 1 pcs, hosomaki avocado 3 pcs, Futomaki BBQ sake and Philadelphia 3 pcs. I really wanted to taste a new cuisine I had never tasted before and this my first go at Vietnamese and I loved it.
Edo Fusion Asian Cuisine is, according to many critics and customers, "… the best Asian in Poland …". The sister restaurant of Cracow, the oldest Japanese Edo Sushi Bar, is the perfect place to get acquainted with the very recently acclaimed Asian fusion cuisine, where traditional dishes and techniques of Japanese, Thai and other Asian cuisines are mixed with flavors known from the rest of the world. " In addition, the Edo Fusion restaurant is a place where you can try selected traditional dishes from almost all of Asia.
The interior of the restaurant fuses the idea of modern fusion style, preparing guests to appreciate the tastes of Cambodian mussels in lime curry, Atlantic cod in sweet miso, halibut in sake served on fresh cucumber carpaccio and traditional Thai, Pad-Thai pasta.

Jammu and Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief G A Mir here on Friday claimed that Congress party always remained steady on its principals of secularism, equality for all as well as equitable development of all the three regions of the state.
JKPCC chief expressed that the people in both the regions of Jammu as well as Kashmir feel cheated from their respective parties whom they voted to majority in 2014 elections.
He said BJP in Jammu region and PDP in Kashmir having opposite, contrary slogans and agenda had no mandate to join hands but they did so against the wishes of the people.
"Still people expected them to deliver and come up to their expectations, which they utterly failed because of inherent contradictions," said Mir.
He alleged BJP , PDP divided the people on regional ,religious lines and vitiated the overall social and secular atmosphere besides failure to deal with the security environment, finally left a state of political uncertainty.
Mir lauded the efforts of the Governor's administration for bringing the administration on rails and initiatives for ULB and panchayat elections.
He exhorted party workers to strengthen the booth units and gear up for all kinds of electoral battles in near future.
Addressing the gathering MLA Inderwa,l G M Saroori alleged erstwhile PDP-BJP government for creating a mess of the whole situation and worst ever misrule in the history of the state. He said that PDP-BJP created controversies which left the state divided on religious and regional lines.
JKPCC vice-president, Mula Ram in his address appreciated the people of Inderwal for reposing faith in Congress party.
Speaking on the occasion, JKPCC senior leader and former minister Raman Bhalla alleged 2014 elections were held in a totally polarized atmosphere and the BJP exploited the religious emotions of people but totally surrendered for the hunger of power. "People saw real face of BJP when it came to power after total surrender of their agenda," added Bhalla.
JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma, general secretary Manmohan Singh, Haider Sheikh, DCC presidents Kishtwar Mohinder Parihar, Hari Singh Chib, Rangil Singh, Chowdhary Farooq, Suman Bhandari, Gulam Qadir Sheikh, Asgar, Sewa Ram, Noor Hussain, Chaman Lal and Sultan also spoke on the occasion.

Overall rating of Agapi Club so far: a great feeling! I believe that Agapi has found the right boating concept.
Agapi Club gives me what I dreamt of: enjoy fully boating in Stockholm's archipelago without the usual constraints associated to owning a boat. And add to that a season that started early April and ended with a week-end in Sandhamn in December.

Winters a trial for Maine's nudists
Date: Thursday, March 08 @ 04:00:00 UTC
Boston Globe, MA
By Jenna Russell, Globe Staff
BANGOR -- They say they like being naked because it feels free, uncomplicated. But for members of the Dirigo Naturist Association, a nude recreation club known until this month as Bare Nekkid Mainers, finding places to take it all off has been anything but easy.
When they tried to plan a dance for New Year's Eve, three function halls turned them away. When they scheduled a Labor Day lobster feed, a campground accepted their reservation, but canceled it later.
The Bangor nudists were thrust into the spotlight in January, when police were called to a bowling alley they had rented for one of their popular nude bowling parties. Summoned by a man who walked into the business with his son despite a "private party" sign outside, police found no laws had been broken. Still, the incident made news all over the country. Some New Englanders seemed stunned to learn of nudist activity in Maine in January.
Eric Soderberg , a club member from Hermon, suspects that nude recreation is more common than most people realize.
"I think there's a lot of it that we don't know about, in people's homes, at their camps, in their hot tubs," he said.
For decades, a small number of resourceful New England nudists have quietly shed their clothing at resorts, beaches, and campgrounds with tolerant owners or "clothing optional" policies. There are nude resorts in the Berkshires and on Cape Cod; a clothing-optional bed-and-breakfast near Maine's capital, Augusta; and nude recreation clubs around the region, including one based in Ludlow that hosts an annual beach clean up on the Cape.
Venues for nudity abound in the summer, when backyards, beaches, and campgrounds beckon, nudists say. The winters, however, test their dedication, especially in such places as Bangor, where winters are long, club members live hundreds of miles apart, and host establishments are hard to find.
"Those who have more money go off to the Caribbean, and us working folks are just trying to keep together," said one of the leaders of the Maine club, a Bangor woman who asked to be identified by only her first name, Hessa , because she fears harassment. "It really is truly a challenge."
Reports of nudity in northern climes are not unknown. Students at Bowdoin College in Brunswick hold an annual nude party, the college newspaper reported recently. In Vermont last summer, a group of teenagers took to hanging out naked in a parking lot in downtown Brattleboro , provoking complaints.
Despite its winters, New England is considered an important region by the American Association for Nude Recreation.
"Our members tend to be college-educated and politically moderate, with incomes above $50,000, like a lot of people in parts of New England, and that makes it very fertile ground," said Erich Schuttauf , executive director of the Florida-based group.
