Nobusuke Kishi
Nobusuke Kishi (1896-1987) was a Japanese statesman who was imprisoned as a war criminal but released by the Allied Occupation authorities after World War II. His term as prime minister was marked by turbulent opposition to the U.S.-Japan security treaty signed in 1960.
The career of Nobusuke Kishi symbolizes the reversal of Japan's international relations in the 20th century. A cosigner of the declaration of war against the United States in 1941, he became the leader of America's most important Pacific ally in the 1950s.
A Political Family Background
Born Sato Nobusuke, on Nov. 13, 1896, in Yamaguchi Prefecture, southwestern Japan, Kishi was the second son of Hidesuke and Moyo Sato. His father, orginally born into the Kishi family, had been adopted by the Satos to preserve their family line and name. Similarly, Nobusuke was adopted by his father's elder brother and took the family name of Kishi.
The Sato and Kishi families were of samurai descent from an area formerly known as Choshu. Both of these facts were important to Kishi's future career. Samurai from Choshu, among them Kishi's great-grandfather, were leaders in the movement, culminating in 1868, to overthrow the old regime and establish a new national government. During the 19th century, more prime ministers came from Yamaguchi than any other prefecture. Kishi thus grew up in a concerned political environment. His older brother, Ichiro Sato, became a rear admiral; his younger brother, Eisaku Sato, became prime minister in 1965; and an uncle by marriage, Yosuke Matsuoka, was Japan's foreign minister during 1940-1941.
Kishi's education at Japan's most prestigious schools prepared the way for his rapid rise in the bureaucratic elite. After graduating with honors from Tokyo First Higher School, he entered Tokyo Imperial University in 1917, where he studied under Shinkichi Uesugi, well known for his conservative, nationalist interpretation of constitutional law. In the early 1920s, Kishi was greatly influenced by the writings of Ikki Kita, the nationalist thinker who sought a radical reordering of Japanese society.
Career in the Bureaucracy
After graduating with top honors in 1920, Kishi entered the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce as a clerk, quickly proving himself an able and ambitious worker. In 1936 he was appointed to the second-highest civilian post, responsible for the industrial development of Manchuria, Japan's newly acquired colony. In this post, he worked closely with Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of Japan's Kwantung army.
When Tojo became prime minister in October 1941, he asked Kishi to join his cabinet as minister of commerce and industry. Thus, Kishi was part of the Japanese leadership at the time of Pearl Harbor and America's entrance into World War II.
During the war years, Kishi played a leading part in trying to manage military procurement and a sagging Japanese economy. By 1944, Kishi was increasingly against continuing the war at all costs, and his opposition helped to topple the Tojo government that year.
Arrest and Return to Power
With the Allied victory in World War II, Allied Occupation forces arrested Kishi and held him for more than three years as a war criminal. During his detention in Sugamo prison until his release without trial in 1948, Kishi spent time reading and reflecting on Western liberalism. Although perhaps more favorably disposed to democratic theory than before, he was dismayed by many of the reforms of the occupation forces. Whatever his sympathies, however, Kishi plunged into the postwar order with the same energy and ambition that he had brought to the prewar system.
In 1952 he began a new political career and a remarkable comeback that, in five years, took him from war criminal to prime minister. His rise should be understood as an indication of the powerful personal ties he still retained with the Japanese political and business elite and his own skill in manipulating these ties. Beyond this, Kishi has been described as a master of machiai seiji—that is, behind-the-scenes politics (literally, geisha house politics).
Favored as well by the confused and fluid nature of postwar Japanese politics and by the death and retirement of older leaders, Kishi built himself a personal following among party politicians that soon became a real force in the factional struggles that followed. In 1954 he joined with other factions to help Ichiro Hatoyama overthrow Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida. The following year, the two conservative parties united to form the Liberal-Democratic party, of which Kishi became secretary general. As an important link between the party's two warring sides, the Hatoyama faction, which he had aided, and the Yoshida faction, led by his younger brother, Kishi became a dominant figure in the party.
In the Ishibashi cabinet, formed in 1956, Kishi served as deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. When ill health forced Ishibashi into retirement in early 1957, Kishi succeeded him.
For all his service, Kishi was not a popular figure with articulate elements of the Japanese public. In fact, his public image plagued him throughout his term as prime minister and ultimately helped to bring down his government. His membership in the Tojo cabinet and his designation as a top war criminal made him a symbol of a past era that many Japanese wanted to forget. To students, Socialists, intellectuals, and many other elements of society, he seemed to be an unreconstructed fascist. They were suspicious of his every action, but particularly of his intention to revise the constitution, rearm, and extend the security treaty with the United States.
Security Treaty Crisis
Japan's relations with the United States overshadowed all other issues in Kishi's three-year term, from 1957 to the summer of 1960. The key was the security treaty, signed by the two countries in September 1951, during the last months of the Allied occupation. The treaty embodied Japan's reliance on American armed forces to preserve its security, providing the right to station troops in Japan to be used not only "to deter armed attack upon Japan" but also, if necessary, "to put down large-scale internal riots and disturbances." By the time Kishi took office, Japanese opposition to the treaty, growing out of a newly found self-confidence, was widespread. The treaty was criticized as an infringement on national sovereignty that involved Japan, without regard to its own will, in the Cold War politics of eastern Asia. Dissatisfaction was general, but proposed remedies ran the political gamut. Among the Socialists, neutralist sentiment, favoring abrogation of the treaty, was strong. Among the conservatives, there was support for a continuation of the relationship but on a more restricted basis that would enhance Japan's political standing in the world.
Seeking to profit from this national mood, Kishi made a much-heralded trip to Washington, DC, in June 1957. He won an American promise to withdraw all ground combat forces within a year. Thereafter, he also gained American assent to negotiate a new treaty of mutual defense. Meetings between diplomats of the two countries began in the fall of 1958 and proceeded through the following year. In January 1960, Kishi once again flew to Washington for the treaty signing ceremony. By eliminating some of the offensive parts of the old treaty (including the clause permitting intervention of American forces in Japanese internal disturbances) and stressing mutual consultation and obligation, the new treaty gave the appearance of placing relations on an equilateral basis.
Kishi clearly saw the treaty as a major diplomatic triumph that might consolidate his power in the Liberal-Democratic party. The result, however, was quite the opposite. When the debate over ratification began in the National Diet, conflict intensified and gradually eroded his strength. Outside of the Diet, student groups, Socialists, Communists, labor leaders, and intellectuals, always distrustful of Kishi, joined in opposition and created the greatest political disturbances the nation had experienced since prewar days.
In a tumultuous late-night session in mid-May 1960 after police had entered the Diet to remove Socialist party members who had staged a sitdown protest, Kishi forced a vote of approval through the lower house. His high-handed maneuver further inflamed public antipathy toward him and the treaty. The Diet and the prime minister's official residence became scenes of swelling popular demonstrations. A planned visit of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower had to be canceled. With no other choice, on June 23, 1960, Kishi announced his resignation. Shortly after, while attending a party for his successor, Ikeda Hayato, Kishi was stabbed by a rightist fanatic. The wound was not serious, however, and Kishi in the aftermath continued to exercise power from behind the scenes.
For some years after his resignation, Kishi remained an active member of the Liberal-Democratic party in Japan. He lived in Tokyo with his family. When a young man, he had married his cousin, Yoshiko Kishi, daughter of his adopted parents. They had two children, a son, Nobukazu, and a daughter, Yoko. After a lifetime of service to his country, Nobusuke Kishi died in Tokyo on August 7, 1987.
Further Reading on Nobusuke Kishi
The most reliable, scholarly treatment of Kishi's career is in George R. Packard, III, Protest in Tokyo: The Security Treaty Crisis of 1960 (1966). A journalist's rendering of Kishi's life is Dan Kurzman, Kishi and Japan: The Search for the Sun (1960). Recommended for the background of Japanese politics and its relation to foreign policy is Donald C. Hellmann, Japanese Domestic Politics and Foreign Policy (1969). For a general treatment of the Security Treaty crisis and its relation to Japanese parties see Robert A. Scalapino and Junnosuke Masumi, Parties and Politics in Contemporary Japan (1962).

Plagiarism lawsuit with former Indiana University South Bend employees settled
Lincoln Wright South Bend Tribune
SOUTH BEND — With a settlement in her lawsuit against two former co-authors Katie Madonna Lee says republished their work without her name, she has the credit she wanted, but not the apology.
Lee, who recently graduated from Indiana University South Bend with a master's degree in music, said she played a key role in conducting and recording about 20 interviews for a 2015 academic article on the history of the area's LGBTQ community.
The article, titled "Partnership in the Preservation of Rustbelt Queer History," was first published online in November 2015 by the Archive Journal, with Lee and Alison Stankrauff and Catherine Page-Vanore listed as the authors.
In 2017 the article was published again as part of a book titled "The Role of Agency and Memory in Historical Understanding: Revolution, Reform, and Rebellion." The only authors listed in that instance are Stankrauff and Page-Vanore, who are former IU South Bend employees.
South Bend attorney John Conway, who represented Stankrauff and Page-Vanore, previously told The Tribune the article in the book is "different" than the one that was first published, which is why Lee wasn't listed as a co-author.
"Ms. Lee was given the opportunity to work on this project and she elected not to," he said.
In spring 2016, the three presented their work at the College Art Association's annual conference in Washington, D.C. But after that conference, Lee said she cut ties with Stankrauff, who was then the archivist and associate librarian at IU South Bend.
She said Stankrauff decided certain historical collections contributed by Lee to the Civil Rights Heritage Center should no longer be housed there. In an email, Stankrauff told Lee those collections, which weren't related to the LGBTQ collection, "don't fit the mission" of the center.
Lee said she felt wronged by that decision, and she stopped volunteering for projects at the center. But before she cut ties with Stankrauff, Lee said, they had preliminary discussions about writing an article for the book, an anthology based on the Great Lakes History Conference.
Because of her issues with Stankrauff, Lee decided not to be part of the project. She said she thought Stankrauff and Page-Vanore would be writing a completely different article so she was caught off guard when the article in the book was nearly the same as the original one.
A comparison of the two articles shows not many changes were made to the one in the book. The majority of the article is identical.
Last month, Stankrauff and Page-Vanore entered into a settlement agreement with Lee. The agreement does not admit any wrongdoing by Stankrauff and Page-Vanore, but they did have to provide Lee a signed statement that states Lee contributed equally in creating the article through her extensive research and drafting. Lee will also be paid $400.
But Lee filed the lawsuits with the hope of getting an apology, which, she said, she did not get. For Stankrauff and Page-Vanore to agree to an apology, she said, they wanted the settlement agreement to be confidential.
"You know you did something wrong, but you don't want anyone to know," she said. "What's the point of an apology when you did the wrong in public and then you apologize in private?"
Because she couldn't afford to put more money into legal fees, Lee decided to take the signed statement without the apology so the statement, at least, could be public. To get her apology, she thinks she would have had to take the case to trial.
The book the article was written in will not be republished with Lee's name added, but Lee can now list her contribution on her resume. If someone questions why she's not listed as a co-author, she has the signed statement to back her up.
The past couple of years with the suit took an emotional toll on Lee, but she's glad she did it. When starting out, she said, she told her self no matter if she filed a suit or not she would be upset, but at least she can get her self respect.
"If you do something it will be upsetting, but you'll have your self respect," she said. "I wanted self respect."
Conway, speaking on behalf of Stankrauff and Page-Vanore, said the two are satisfied with how the case ended and that they were able to reach a resolution.
"They are glad everything is behind them," he said. "They hope Katie and themselves can move on with their personal and professional lives."
When asked if Stankrauff and Page-Vanore were apologizing to Lee, Conway said, they are comfortable with the language in the settlement, but it is not an apology.
"I don't think they are taking it as an apology, but as a way to set the record straight," he said.

LOS ANGELES (KGTV) — One person was killed and three others injured in a drive-by shooting along the route of Nipsey Hussle's funeral procession.According to LAPD, the shooting happened at 103rd Street and Main Street around 6:25 p.m. Police say three men and a woman between the ages of 30 and 50 were shot.According to police, several suspects in a gray Hyundai shot the victims.
"We must stop this senseless violence," LAPD Chief Michel Moore said in a tweet.
The shooting came as thousands of fans lined the streets of South Los Angeles to honor the life of the slain rapper.
Earlier in the day, a memorial service was held inside the Staples Center.
The 33-year-old rapper was shot and killed on March 31 in front of The Marathon Clothing store.
In early April, 29-year-old Eric Ronald Holder Jr., an aspiring rapper and acquaintance of Hussle, pleaded not guilty to one count each of murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, along with two counts of attempted murder.
Holder could face life in prison if convicted of the charges, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Moore said Holder got into some type of personal dispute with the rapper outside the store, then left and returned with a handgun.
The nature of the disagreement is still unclear.

Brexit May Impact Mainland through Hong Kong on Business, Equities
2016-06-21 20:34:00 Renee Mu, Currency Analyst
- The unique setup between China, UK and Hong Kong links all three economies.
- Brexit could hurt Hong Kong investors who hold a large amount of British assets.
- The volatility in Hong Kong shares could spread to the mainland equity market very quickly.
To receive reports from this analyst,sign up for Renee Mu' distribution list.
The impact of a potential Brexit to China may be underestimated if one was only counting the direct and obvious connections. China's trade with the UK is much lower compared to China's trade with the rest of the EU: China's imports from the UK only make up 1.1% of China's total imports. China's exports to UK account for 2.6% of China's total exports. On the other hand, China's imports to and from the EU makes up approximately 17% of all imports/exports out of the country. Also, China's domestic capital markets are not yet fully opened, and this has limited direct investments from China to the UK and the other way around. However, Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, is not only susceptible to any direct hits from Brexit, but could also transfer the impact to mainland China.
Hong Kong was ruled by the British government for more than a century before China regained control in 1997. Due to this history, Hong Kong has strong links with both mainland China and the UK.
Brexit could hurt the considerable amount of Hong Kong investors who hold UK assets. Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka-Shing warned on Tuesday that the Brexit would have a 'detrimental' effect and urged British people to vote against it. The tycoon owns phone services, ports, electricity distribution as well as cosmetics businesses in the UK. A weaker Pound against the Dollar, driven by Brexit, could hurt the profits of the Billionaire's investments denominated in British Pounds. Li is not the only one who invests in UK. In fact, Hong Kong investors, including the rich and the not-so-rich, often invest in the UK in real estate and stocks. Due to the UK's earlier administration, many Hong Kong residents have British citizenship, which allows for considerable ease when investing in the UK.
On June 21, Hong Kong's Chief Executive, Leung Chun-Ying, also warned the impact of Brexit 'could be big to the UK as well as to Hong Kong'. There would be two types of impacts to the Hong Kong region: One it may directly impact the real economy. The Chief Economist of Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Pan Yongcai, said on June 17th that the region may take considerable impact from the UK should voters decide to leave the EU. Also, according to the UK government, about 120 British companies have regional headquarters in Hong Kong and another 200 have regional offices there. These British companies could be greatly influenced by the Brexit decision both onshore as well as in Hong Kong.
More importantly, Hong Kong's financial industry is closely connected with the UK. For example, HSBC, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, is a British multinational bank and the largest financial institution by assets in Europe. The bank was named after Hong Kong and Shanghai, where the bank was originally operated when set up. Now Hong Kong is the main profit-generating hub for the bank. In early February, HSBC even considered moving its headquarters to Hong Kong. HSBC, Standard Chartered and other UK-exposed banks and companies listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be most vulnerable if the Sterling depreciates on the back of a vote to leave the EU.
Hong Kong's equities have already seen weakness due to turbulence from the mainland Chinese market. If those shares are hurt by the Brexit decision, they could drag down the entire Hong Kong market. In turn, the mainland Chinese equity market could be affected as well, as the correlation between the two equity markets has significantly increased since last year. The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, introduced in August 2014, allows investors in the two markets to purchase stocks in the other market. Also, Mainland and Hong Kong regulators are planning to launch a similar system in the near term in the effort of connecting the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges. This will further increase the connection between the two markets.

Arsenal's Eduardo could be back in 2008
Eduardo could play again by end of year after breaking leg in horrific incident
Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor "mentally shattered" after incident
Arsenal's Croatian star Eduardo spends 25th birthday in London hospital
LONDON, England -- Arsenal striker Eduardo could be playing again by the end of the year as he recovers from the horror tackle which left him with a career-threatening leg injury.
Eduardo's injury in the 2-2 draw at Birmingham stunned his Arsenal teammates.
The Croatia international spent his 25th birthday on Monday in an unnamed London hospital after suffering a compound fracture of his leg following a tackle from Birmingham defender Martin Taylor during Arsenal's 2-2 draw on Saturday.
A statement on the Arsenal Web site read: "The club can confirm that following the incident during Saturday's match at Birmingham City, Eduardo has fractured his left fibula and sustained an open dislocation of his ankle joint in the same leg.
"He was immediately taken to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham where he underwent surgery on Saturday evening. The operation was successful, and Eduardo was transferred to a London-based hospital on Sunday afternoon.
"Earlier today, the orthopaedic surgeon and Arsenal medical staff assessed the extent of the damage and possible timescale for a full recovery.
"All being well, Eduardo will have his leg in plaster and using crutches for the next six to eight weeks.
"After that time, partial weight-bearing exercises will be scheduled into a slow rehabilitation process.
"It is hoped that Eduardo will be running again in six months' time and making a full recovery after nine months."
Taylor was shown a straight red card and his manager Alex McLeish said that he had been left "mentally shattered" by the experience.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger initially called for him to be banned for life before later retracting his statement.
Eduardo told Arsenal's official Web site that he did not remember the incident very well.
"All I remember is that when I fell, I looked down at my foot and it had turned the other way. The rest is just a blank. It was an unfortunate situation but these things can happen in football.
"I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won't be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer.
"But I'm not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury."
Eduardo's Croatian international manager Slaven Bilic said he was stunned by the incident.
"This is horrible. The fact he won't play at the Euros is less important - most important is that he recovers as soon as possible."
Former Coventry defender David Busst suffered a similar horrific injury playing against Manchester United in April 1996 and said that Eduardo would carry emotional scars..
"It is an understatement to say that Eduardo's mental state will be fragile right now - he will be anxious and frightened, there will be little space in his head for optimism and hope," Busst wrote in The Guardian.
"It is vital that he is put in a positive state of mind as quickly as possible. My doctor said to me quite early on that my leg might have to be amputated, then that I might never walk or run again.
"That didn't help; it was not what I needed to hear. Eduardo needs to be set small, achievable goals. First to concentrate on getting back walking, then jogging, then working on his fitness, then with the ball."
Busst had 26 operations on multiple fractures to his leg and never played again but he believes Eduardo should be given as much information as possible, even if the news is bad.
"If it's a clean break then he has a chance of perhaps training again within a year but if there is severe muscle and tissue damage then the outlook is less optimistic.
"The doctors will have assessed the extent of the damage to Eduardo's leg by now and, taking his current emotional state into account, they may or may not have told him the diagnosis." E-mail to a friend

Q: Separating an Array by Pipes I've done a lot of work since my last question, so I thought it would be fitting to start a new question to have a clean slate.  If this is the wrong way to do it, please let me know.  (I'm new!)
Here is my code:
int do_command(char **args){

    // In the end, this function should take an array of args
    // and separate them into UNIX commands that lie before and after
    // pipes that are entered and put them into an array called
    // arrayOfCommands.
    // For example, if the char array args comes in
    // with {"ls", "-1", "|", "wc"}, there would be two commands
    // which would be "ls -l" and "wc"

    // The following number is in my real program,
    // but using the contents of args above, there will be two
    // commands ("ls -l" and "wc" separated by a pipe)
    // The number is found dynamically by looking for the number
    // of pipes earlier (in our examples so far, just one) and
    // simply adding one since there has to be a command on either
    // side of the pipe or an error is thrown.
    const int commands = 2;

    // I want to create an array that is 2 wide (int commands)
    // and 5 tall (just a constant number because I don't know
    // how many flags a user will enter after each UNIX command
    //
    //  0 1
    // 0[][]
    // 1[][]
    // 2[][]
    // 3[][]
    // 4[][]
    //
    // Each column holds a UNIX command (Ex: "ls -s")
    // In this example, "ls" would be stored in arrayOfCommands[0][0];
    // And "-l" would be stored in arrayOfCommands[0][1];
    //
    // If there are more than one command (Ex: "ls -s | wc")
    // They would be stored like this:
    // "ls" in arrayOfCommands[0][0];
    // "-l" in arrayOfCommands[0][1];
    // "wc" in arrayOfCommands[1][0];

    char arrayOfCommands[commands][5]; //!!! (Declaration)

    //counts which column in arrayOfCommands we are on
    int commandNum = 0;

    //Counts which part of a command we are on
    int count = 0;

    //Array Counters
    int i = 0;
    int j;

    //Go through args until we reach the end
    while (args[i] != NULL){
        //if we find something that's not a pipe...
        if(strcmp(args[i], "|")){
            //put it into the array of commands
            arrayOfCommands[commandNum][count] = args[i]; \\!!! (Copying)
            count++;
        }
        //otherwise if we find a pipe...
        else if (!strcmp(args[i], "|")) {
            //we know we are done with that command
            count = 0;
            commandNum++;
        }
        //Looking at the next value in args
        i++;
    }

    //Print the new arrayOfCommands
    int col=0;
    int row=0;
    for (col=0;col<commands;col++){
        printf("Command #%d: ",col);
        for (row=0;row<10;row++){
            printf("%c ",arrayOfCommands[col][row]); \\!!! (Printing)
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

I've commented the code like crazy to help everyone understand my code.  To explain further, I am creating a UNIX Shell with C.  My program takes in UNIX commands in the form of user input and put them into an array called "args", separated by spaces.
The code above is working specifically with piping and seeks to further separate the code into commands that fall before and after pipes ("|").  Go ahead and ask questions and I'll do my best to help explain my thought process.
I think I have the coding part somewhat correct, but when I try to print the arrayOfCommands, I get something like:
Command 0: % # ! ##$
Command 1: *   ^@  @!
(These are the actual symbols, of course)
I've put "//!!!" behind the lines that I assume are causing the problem.

A: If you look at:
char arrayOfCommands[commands][5]; //!!! (Declaration)
...
arrayOfCommands[commandNum][count] = args[i]; \\!!! (Copying)

You are assigning a char* into a char.
C strings are character arrays. That means you have a pointer to a series of chars terminated by a NUL character. What args[i] will return is the memory address of that starting character. So your "copy" is simply assigning an unsigned int memory address into an element in an array that is designated as a character. It will truncate that unsigned int (32 bits) into a `character (8 bits). This is probably why you're seeing weird values.
If you want to store your commands as you indicated, you'll have to change arrayOfCommands from a 2-dimensional char array into a 2-dimensional char * array. Furthermore, if you want to actually copy the strings, and not just create pointer aliases to each string in the args[] array, you will have to either allocate each element of your 2-dimensional array using malloc() (and then free the memory when you're done, using free()) or choose a fixed maximum size and allocate it on the stack. I'd probably do the latter for simplicity in a program like this:
char arrayOfCommands[2][5][256];  // 5 rows, 2 columns, maximum command length of 255 characters + NUL character

Then, when you do the copy, you will have to use a string copy function:
strcpy(arrayOfCommands[row][column], args[i]); // Copy string at args[i] into arrayOfCommands[row][column]

This should fix the issues you're encountering.

A: figured it out. I decided to go a 1D array route rather than a 2D way. The code now takes args, which were split before as "ls" "-l" "|" "wc" and separates them based on if there is a pipe into a new array called "arrayOfCommands". The contents of arrayOfCommands are then, once this is through, "ls -l" and "wc". Here's the code:
int do_command(char **args,) {
const int commands = 2;
int i = 0;

int commandNum = 0;
int firstCommand = 1;

char *arrayOfCommands[commands];

//Go through args until we reach the end
while (args[i] != NULL){
    //First case
    if(firstCommand){
        arrayOfCommands[commandNum] = args[i];
        firstCommand = 0;
    }
    //Rest of the cases
    else{
        //if we find something that's not a pipe...
        if(strcmp(args[i], "|")){
            //Add a space to what was a previous part of the same command
            arrayOfCommands[commandNum] = strcat(arrayOfCommands[commandNum]," ");
            arrayOfCommands[commandNum] = strcat(arrayOfCommands[commandNum],args[i]);
        }
        //But if we do find a pipe...
        else if (!strcmp(args[i], "|")) {
            //We know it's time for a new command
            commandNum++;
            firstCommand = 1;
        }
    }
    //Looking at the next value in args
    i++;
}

for(i = 0; i < commands; i++)
    printf("Command #[%d]: %s\n", i, arrayOfCommands[i]);
}

A Texas university has launched two investigations after a white professor reportedly called the cops on a black student during class. What was the student's offense? She reportedly propped her feet up on a lecture hall chair.
The incident occurred Monday at the University of Texas at San Antonio. A man who was in the class posted a now-viral video in which the black student—identified as Paige Burgess—was seen being escorted out by police.
"So this happened today in class, a girl had her feet up and the professor called the police after calling our class uncivil," Apurva Rawal captioned the video. As you can see below, Burgess complies with the officers, and calmly gathers her belongings before leaving the lecture hall.
According to NBC News, the woman who alerted authorities is biology professor Anita Moss. UTSA President Taylor Eighmy confirmed that officials had spoke to the student as well as Moss, who agreed to stop teaching the class for the rest of the school year.
Rawal later tweeted that the incident upset him, as Burgess was not being disruptive. He said the educator went on a "tirade," accusing students of being uncivil and not paying attention during her lessons. Rawal also claimed Moss cut class short because her "ego was bruised."
Burgess responded to Rawal's post on Twitter, thanking him and other students for their support.
Twitter users have since dubbed the professor #BioBetty, grouping her with #BBQBecky, #PermitPatty, #CornerstoneCaroline, and other infamous white folks who've called the police on black people for dubious reasons.
"We are currently conducting two separate investigations into the matter, one on potential discrimination [...] and the other on classroom management," Eighmy wrote in a letter to students. "No matter the outcome of the investigations, the incident shows issues that extend far beyond the events of yesterday. The reactions expressed through social media, emails, phone calls and group meetings I've attended confirm that feelings of marginalization on the part of some students—especially our African American students—are real and profound."

......In 1968 the idea for a new opera house in Paris first came from the composer Pierre Boulez, Maurice Béjart, along with Jean Vilar, a believer in the need for popular theatre. Their report inspired François Mitterrand, the French president, to sponsor a competition to build a new house. He wanted it to become a "modern and popular" place in order to share classical music with the masses.
......Therefore, he created the Opera Bastille Public Establishment (l'Établissement PuA) competition to select an architect to build this new opera house. 756 entries were received, and, in November 1983, the competition was won by an unknown architect, Carlos Ott, a Uruguayan who lives in Canada.
......Located at the Place de la Bastille, in the 12th arrondissement, the house was designed with 2,723 seats, every one of which has an unrestricted view of the stage. The theatre's backstage facilities are extremely modern, allowing for nine times the volume of the stage and the ability to roll entire sets off and on intact. However, compared to other world-class opera houses, the acoustics have been described as disappointing at best.
......Construction began in 1984 with the demolition of Paris Bastille train station, which was opened in 1859 and closed on December 14, 1969, and where art expositions were held thereafter until its demolition.
......And now my own thoughts. The building is impressive on the outside. It looks more like a congres center. It's huge inside too. You'll see in the pictures below. There are seven floors. What I liked most was the fact that from the foiere you can see outside. There's a beautiful view over Paris from the 7th floor. Visiting operas around the world I got used to see the red velvet seats, big, red, heavy courtain. Here things were different. Black and brown chairs (but very confortable) and no red courtain. It's a black one. On the inside it looks like a symphony hall. It imediately reminded me of Sydney Symphony.
......For those who clicked on the link deliberately, there's no need for a presentation. Opera fans know who Rolando is (and if you're not 100% sure, read here).
......How I got to see him and why Paris? That's easy. About 8 months ago Tina Turner's latest tour was announced so I bought the ticket. 1 month before this concert I got the idea to start looking for other events in Paris. I ran across the schadule for Opera Bastille. And Rolando was included in the cast of Werther.
......Buying the ticket is another story. The day I decided I want to go there were no tickets available on the internet. So i called the Opera. There were several very expensive tickets left and some other cheap ones, 7th and 8th category. It was ok with me, only that they could be bought only at the box office. No internet or phone reservations. There was somebody that some of you might know at least by name. Anne. She didn't know me but she was kind enough to go to the Opera and buy the ticket. Then we met before the opera started and had lunch together. Anne, thanks again. What you did for me was great. And thanks for speaking English. I know it was difficult.
Here you can clearly see the floors. I was at the same level with the top floor balcony you see in the picture.
......Werther is an opera in four acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann based on the German novella The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
......Although Massenet wrote and completed his opera already in 1887, it did not receive any performance until it premiered at the Imperial Theatre Hofoper in Vienna on February 16, 1892, in a German version translated by Max Kalbeck. It had a great success. The French-language premiere followed in Geneva on December 27, 1892, and the first performance in France was at the Opéra-Comique, Paris on January 16, 1893.
Here's the first glance on Rolando. The tournted poet at his writing desk.
......The sets were simple but great. As if everything happened in Werther's mind. There were words written everywhere, on the floor and walls. Overall, it's a very sad story. He loves her, she's not that sure the love for him and realises he's all she wants only when it's too late. A lot of tears and good byes. And everything happens before and during Christmas.
A little bit blury. Sorry. I was up high.
......This is what I liked most about the set. Werther's "office". A rock placed in the middle of the scene, having the writing desk on it. Having this on stage, Werther remained on the stage for long periods. he was there but he actually wasn't. The stone was something the other couldn't see. It was Werther's hidden world. He could see everything without being seen. Just like a writer, he created a play. And when he decided to comment on somthing, he got down from the stone while everydoby on stage froze. All the lights went down, the only strong light remaining being the one following him. When he finished and went back on the stone everything else came back to life. Great idea!
This is the final duet. He killed himself with the gun she sent.
......The audience was amazing. We applauded and cheerd for 15 minutes. And they came back again... and again... and again. I won't comment on voices. They all sounded absolutely great. But hey, I'm always subjective when it comes to Rolando.
...... The opera ended at 5:30 pm. It took me a while to exit the opera. it's not that easy to come down the stairs from the 7th floor. I asked somebody where the backstage door is. Just around the corner. I went there and waited. There were about 30 people doing the same thing, each of them holding a CD, a DVD or the programme.
......Rolando came after 1 hour. And he starting talking to everyone... pictures... autographs. He's so gentle and always smiling.
......I kept the best for last. I don't usually go take pictures with these famous people. I get the impression I ruin the picture. But this time I did it. And my prize, besides this picture, was a big smile. He signed my booklet of Manon DVD.
Rolando, you made my day!
I was in paris last year. It is very beautiful place to visit. My agent booked my ticket through EasyClick Travel and i was lucky i got at cheap rate whick made my tour fantastic.

heal - get healthy again; "The wound is healing slowly"
So thoroughly was Bill Totts himself, so thoroughly a workman, a genuine denizen of South of the Slot, that he was as class- conscious as the average of his kind, and his hatred for a scab even exceeded that of the average loyal union man.
A violent accession of noise proclaimed that the mob had broken through and was dragging a scab from a waggon.
The scabs were torn from their seats, the traces of the horses cut, and the frightened animals put in flight.
A refusal of cooks and waiters to serve scab teamsters or teamsters' employers brought out the cooks and waiters.
The powerful fighting organization known as the Pacific Slope Seaman's Union refused to work vessels the cargoes of which were to be handled by scab longshoremen and freight-handlers.
Peter Donnelly, the scab foreman at the Sierra Mills whom I encountered while investigating the case of Jackson, was a surprise to all of us.
Nor could he have guessed that the particular five dollars that belonged to him had been appropriated by the business manager for the painting of his house in Alameda, which painting he performed himself, on week-day afternoons, because he could not afford to pay union wages and because the first scab he had employed had had a ladder jerked out from under him and been sent to the hospital with a broken collar-bone.
The children had begun it by throwing rocks at the scabs and cursing them in ways children should not know.
Sheep scab is an acute skin condition caused by a mite.
If scab is suspected, farmers should contact their vet for a blood test diagnosis that should pre-empt clinical signs.
As long as there are those who betray their colleagues while enjoying the benefits gained by the unions, those same benefits that the Tories would scrap, then the word scab is as relevant today as it was in the 1980s.

Stop the War
Published Sat 24 Sep 2005
Brian Eno and Julie Christie at Downing Street last week (Pic: Guy Smallman)
Actress Julie Christie and musician Brian Eno last week handed in a letter, signed by almost 100 celebrities, academics, musicians, MPs and activists to 10 Downing Street calling for British troops to be brought home from Iraq by the end of the year.
Personally addressed to Tony Blair, the letter said the war had been an "unmitigated disaster".
It added, "The United Nations mandate for the occupation of Iraq expires this December.
"We call on you to initiate the first steps to end this carnage by announcing that British troops will be brought home by the end of this year."
Among those signing the letter were poet Benjamin Zephaniah, professor Richard Dawkins, guitarist John Williams, actor/director Mark Rylance, singer Billy Bragg, trade union leader Tony Woodley and director Ken Loach.
Brian Eno said, "Personally, I'm saying I do not want to be associated with a bunch of rednecks with big guns and small minds."

The Three Kings: Real or Fake News?
Every January 6, we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany in honor of the Three Kings or the Magi who visited Baby Jesus in Bethlehem. But what happened to them after the historical visit? And to begin with, were they even real people?
First, let's delve into who these kings are. According to the Gospel of Matthew, they were astronomers, or at least experts of stars, who came from the East and brought gold, incense, and myrrh to the newborn Jesus led by a glowing star. However, the information stops there. Matthew does not even confirm that there were three of them—it was just a number later chosen by Christian tradition as bearers of the three gifts. It's not even proven that they were called Melchior, Balthasar, and Gaspar!

Because of lack of further information on the Three Kings, it is no surprise that some people question their existence. However, celebrated explorer Marco Polo supposedly found the tombs of the Three Kings in the city of Saba, south of Tehran—he even visited their resting place around the year 1270.
As the story goes, the remains of the Three Kings rest in the Cologne Cathedral in Germany, where they were transferred in 1164 from the Basilica of Santa Sophia in Constantinople (today's Istanbul, Turkey).
The Three Kings of Cologne—A Legend of the Middle Ages by John of Hildesheim says that after visiting Baby Jesus and giving Him their gifts, the Three Kings chose a different route on their way to their respective homes. They then journeyed together for quite some time, coming to the Hill of Vaws. The Three Kings picked a certain spot for a chapel "in worship of the Child they had sought," and made an agreement to meet at there once a year.
Several years after visiting the newborn Christ, a star appeared over the towns where the Magi lived. This was their sign that their time had come to depart this world. According to same book by Hildesheim, the Three Kings built "a fair and large tomb" at the Hill of Vaws. And it was there that they died and were buried.
On the surface, we can say that the Magi passed another route simply to avoid Herod, but as many scholars say, once we discover the light of the Christ Child, we—like the Three Kings—feel a calling to leave our unenlightened ways behind, and follow a new path in life.

GBHS faculty member self-publishes book
Spanish teacher dives into his historical fiction novel
Bella Khor, senior editor|December 17, 2019
Bella Khor
Spanish teacher Grant Adams self-published a historical fiction novel, just recently republishing a further edited version of it.
Despite how strange it is to imagine the teacher in the front of the room doing anything other than their daily routine during school hours, it is, indeed, a fact that they have lives and aspirations that reach beyond the classroom.
One such aspiration is writing and eventually publishing a book, as Spanish teacher Grant Adams and yearbook advisor has done.
"My book is titled, 'The King of Petén', it is categorized as historical fiction, which is actually my favorite category to read," Adams said. "It's about two friends who find themselves trapped within the Mayan culture back during the Mayan era, anywhere between 400 to 600 A.D."
The ancient Mayan civilization he explores in his novel resided in what are today Central and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala. Adams has been to Guatemala "about a dozen times" as it is the homeland of one of his best friends. He mentioned that he often visited the Mayan ruins in Tikal and experienced the urge to write something "fun to read" about the ruins.
"In fact, the main (setting) in the book is Tikal, and so when it talks about about all the temples and observatories and ball game court areas (all those details) are (there) because I was there and measured and took pictures of it," Adams added.
He didn't sit down to write the book immediately, "The King of Petén" lingered in his mind for three to four years. Adams spent those years researching Mayan culture in depth and picking the brains of guides at Tikal for additional knowledge.
"Wikipedia doesn't do it," he added. "You've got to get to the hardbound stuff to get true facts."
Adams initially spent around a year putting down thoughts for mini chapters and trying out his ideas for his novel, balancing the other elements in his life, until he encountered a chance opportunity to finally double down on writing his book.
"I was working for the Elk Grove Unified School District, (and they) were offering a writing scholarship. They don't give it now, but they did for a couple of years," Adams said. "… If you got selected by the district they would pay for you to go to a writing studio."
Adams further expanded on this part of his journey to being a published author, saying that he submitted a couple of chapters and "(the district) liked it." The writing studio was in Vermont and the scholarship was two weeks long.
"They give an office with internet and that's what you do… all you do is write," Adams said. "There's no outside world, there's no work, and soon 10,000 words turned into 50,000 words, and that's pretty much when I wrote the bulk of the book."
When it came to publishing his book, Adams had intended on having a literary agent or a publishing company pick up his book, but despite his best efforts, no one took up the opportunity.
"I think (I sent out) a total of 35 (query letters)," Adams said. "Sent and rejected."
The query letters are "like a cover letter for a job" according to Adams, including a synopsis of the book and a little bit about the author themselves, "basically whatever you read on the back of the book."
He ended up self-publishing his novel and got his manuscript consolidated into a published product.
"I chose a self-publisher, sought them out and got their help…" Adams said. "I mean really, when you think about it, anyone could sell (a book)… but it's satisfying to know that the hours that I put in (were finally) formalized (in a bound copy)."
As of now, Adams is satisfied with his first run as a published author, although he strives to improve his quality of work in his next potential novel.
"With ("The King of Petén) I wanted to just see, can I write something from start to finish…" Adams said, "I completed my goal, I was able to write a book (from) start to finish."
"I think it's a fun read, but I know I could do much better," Adams said.

Current: The Components of World Order in the Middle East
The Components of World Order in the Middle East
Amb. Dore Gold, December 31, 2019
Amb. Dore Gold
Filed under: The Middle East
Publication: Dore Gold Articles
This article originally appeared in the Jerusalem Post Magazine on January 3, 2020.
Historically, at the end of major wars, the great powers in the world have drawn together to consider two questions. First, what brought states to enter the last conflict to begin with and second, how the same kind of war can be averted in the future. It is well known that at the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648, the first time these questions were considered was in Westphalia, in what was to become Germany.
A similar effort was undertaken at the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1815, when both the victors and the vanquished initiated the Concert of Europe, which brought the European powers into a system of regular consultations that lasted for 99 years, until 1914, with the outbreak of World War I. States tended to seek an optimal solution to international problems that would address both the requirements of international justice and the realities of the balance of power. In the interwar period, those stressing justice came to be known as "idealists," while those returning to the balance of power were dubbed as "realists".
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger grasped these processes in diplomacy that were emerging with defining rules of international behavior after the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the Arab spring years later. In 2014, he wrote a book boldly entitled World Order which sought to encapsulate the nature of the diplomatic challenge that the world was now facing.
Kissinger's timing was right on the mark. Clearly there was a new global chaos that needed to be addressed. It can be said that states don't normally get into this level of analysis when they set their foreign policy agenda. They convene in order to put out the fires of the last crisis; asking how to stabilize the Balkans, or what to do about the South China Sea, or how to contend with piracy in the horn of Africa. Yet every few decades a more expansive kind of diplomatic introspection becomes necessary when the past assumptions of foreign policy no longer seem to be applicable.
No set of international understandings was more significant for the emergence of the modern Middle East than those that were concluded at the end of World War I, when the Ottoman Empire, which once stretched from what is today Algeria in the west to Iraq in the east collapsed. Nearly 100 years ago, in April 1920, the San Remo Conference in Italy established a state system that was intended replace the Ottoman Empire, the borders between its constituent elements, and finally how many of these states would emerge from the League of Nations Mandates that the great powers insisted using as an interim measure at the time.
The understandings reached at the end of World War I have been under an unprecedented assault in the last two decades. When ISIS came to power in remote parts of Syria and Iraq, the border separating those two countries seemed to have suddenly evaporated. But the defeat of the ISIS self-declared caliphate has not decisively repaired that situation. With the growing power of pro-Iranian militias in Iraqi territory, the border between Iraq and Iran appears to have become increasingly compromised.
The northern flank of the Middle East faces similar problems. Turkish-backed militias have taken over whole stretches of the Turkish-Syrian border area. It is another Middle Eastern boundary that has melted down significantly. A Turkish safety zone has begun to emerge that extends roughly 32 kilometers into Northern Syria. The disposition of territory from 1920 does not appear to be enduring looking back retrospectively from 2020.
Then there is the case of Israel. The League of Nations Mandate that came out of the San Remo document from 1920, spoke about the "historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine," It called for "reconstituting" the Jewish national home. Yet today with what is called the delegitimization of Israel, what was axiomatic 100 years ago is regularly being questioned in many international bodies from UNESCO to the UN Human Rights Council.
This history is not irrelevant or outdated. It is critical to spread if the war of ideas is to be decisively won. Ironically, this will happen if Israel understands that advancing the justice of its cause requires more than expertise in current affairs, but also a far deeper understanding of what were the founding principles which led to the eventual acceptance of the idea of Jewish statehood nearly a century ago.
Ambassador Dore Gold has served as President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs since 2000. From June 2015 until October 2016 he served as Director-General of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Previously he served as Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Ambassador to the UN (1997-1999), and as an advisor to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

If you've never heard of the commonly used pharmaceutical drug "Statin," it's basically a prescription used to decrease "bad" cholesterol levels. It's common for people with heart disease to take them, despite the fact that half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels.
In reality, cholesterol doesn't necessarily cause heart disease. The French have the highest average cholesterol in all of Europe (approximately 250), yet they have the lowest number of people with heart disease and only experience about half the amount of heart attacks that Americans do. This is where the cholesterol myth comes into play, a belief system that's perpetuated by Big Pharma. How else would they be able to convince 20 millions Americans to take Statins to lower their cholesterol?
How Does the "Cholesterol Myth" Relate to Heart Disease?
Atherosclerosis—the main cause of heart attacks and strokes—is the accumulation of fatty plaque inside the walls of major arteries. As the disease progresses, arteries become increasingly narrow, making it easier for a blood clot or piece of dislodged plaque to completely block blood flow, resulting in either a heart attack or a stroke. When cholesterol was found to be a major component of arterial plaque, the "cholesterol theory of heart disease" was born, thinking that high cholesterol levels cause atherosclerosis. The truth, however, is not so simple. Cholesterol is an anti¬oxidant, a repair and healing molecule. The body produces more of it in response to stress and tissue damage, when repair and healing are needed. Remove the causes of the body's distress, like inflammation and oxidation, and you lower cholesterol. It turned out that blaming cholesterol for heart disease makes as much sense as blaming the Red Cross for the disasters it responds to.
Drug companies took advantage of this theory, investing millions in R&D into cholesterol lowering drugs, and so Statins were created. As many of you know, Big Pharma plays a huge role in manipulating and writing legislation, and creates much of the scientific literature and knowledge taught in medical schools. They're in the ears of doctors, and then they make their way into their pockets as well. Doctors are actually paid to prescribe us more drugs, and you can even discover how much your specific doctor makes here.
Statins are also heavily advertised in the media, which plays a key role in over-diagnosis in North America. Keep in mind that advertising for prescription drugs is illegal in most other parts of the world. In regards to Statins, one study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that people who watched ads for this specific cholesterol drug were 16-22% more likely to take Statins as well as 16-20% more likely to be diagnosed with high cholesterol.
Not only are Statins unnecessary for many of the people who take them, but they pose numerous health risks as well. A new study conducted by Penn State College found a correlation between use of Statins and increased risk of Parkinson's disease.
The researchers in this Penn State study analyzed data from a database of over 50 million people, 22,000 of whom had Parkinson's disease. Of that sample, they reduced it to 2,322 patients with new diagnoses of Parkinson's. Then, they paired each person within the sample size to another individual without Parkinson's, and those people made up the control group.
It's not just Parkinson's that relates to Statins, either. These drugs can have a whirlwind of side effects and increase one's risk of developing a number of different diseases. Since Statins block the body's production of CoQ10, taking Statins can result in fatal muscle inflammation as well as congestive heart failure (which is ironic given that many heart disease patients take them).
Another study published in Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology revealed that, despite Statin drugs being marketed for their ability to decrease the artery disease called atherosclerosis, they may actually stimulate it and cause heart failure.
Another study published in the American Journal of Physiology found that some of the effects of Statins advance the process of aging, and pointed out that long term use of Statins have been associated with several adverse health effects including myopathy (skeletal muscle weakness), neurological issues, and an increased risk of diabetes.
Other cognitive issues caused by Statins include temporary amnesia, and even Alzheimer's. Statins can also cause cognitive decline in general as well as heightened anxiety, depression, and violence. Lastly, Statins have even been linked to liver damage, immunity issues, cancer, cataracts, and birth defects if taken by women (source).
It's clear that the risks of Statins outweigh the benefits in many cases, and if you or a loved one is taking Statins, then you should consider asking your doctor about other alternatives immediately.

Shangpa (albo Szangpa) – jedna z dwóch pierwotnych linii Kagyu, jednej z czterech głównych tradycji buddyzmu tybetańskiego. Najważniejszym współczesnym przedstawicielem tej tradycji był Kalu Rinpocze (1905-1989), jeden z najwybitniejszym mistrzów Kagyu w XX wieku.

Tradycję Szangpa założył Khjungpo Naldzior (według legend 918-1079). Khjungpo Naldzior studiował w Tybecie tradycje Bön i Dzogczen a następnie wyruszył do Nepalu, gdzie spotkał aczarię Sumati. Został tłumaczem i powędrował do Indii, gdzie, jak głoszą legendy, studiował pod kierunkiem stu pięćdziesięciu nauczycieli. Został mistrzem doktryn ezoterycznych i egzoterycznych oraz medytacji.

Jego najważniejszymi nauczycielami byli Sukhasiddhi, Rahulagupta i Niguma, partnerka Naropy. Wiele przekazów według legendy otrzymał bezpośrednio od dakiń. Najsłynniejszymi uczniami Khjungpo Naldziora byli Mehu Tonpa, Mogczokpa i Szang Gomczo Senge. Jeden z mistrzów tej szkoły, Buton Rinczen Drup, przekazał Congkhapie linię uhjasamada tantry Curtona Łangi Dordże.

Główne praktyki Szangpa Kagyu to tantry Mahakali, Czakrasamwary, Hewadżry, Guhjasamadży i Mahamai, Mahamudra oraz sześć doktryn Nigumy. Wszystkie praktyki od Nigumy określa się "złotymi dharmami" z powodu tego, iż Khjungpo Naldzior podczas każdej wyprawy do Indii ofiarowywał złoto za otrzymane nauki. Porównuje się je do drzewa. Korzeniem tego drzewa jest sześć jog Nigumy, pniem jest mahamudra. Trzy gałęzie to trzy integracje. Chodzi w nich o to, żeby doświadczenie zdobyte dzięki praktyce sześciu jog i mahamudry, zintegrować z codziennym życiem. Później są dwa kwiaty: biała i czerwona dakini. Następnie jest owoc, stan buddy: nieśmiertelność umysłu i brak błędu.

Whether earning wife is entitled to get maintenance from husband?
The much-hyped and infamous Armed Force Special Power Act (AFSPA) has once again regained its strength in Kashmir after the Supreme Court of India in its latest decision restrained the Jammu and Kashmir Police from carrying out any further investigation against the Army officer, Major Aditya Kumar in the case of killing of three civilians by the Army while trying to disperse a stone-throwing mob in south Kashmir's Shopian district. Favouring Major Aditya, Attorney General K K Venugopal told the Supreme Court that the mere filing of the complaint against an army personnel serving in the disturbed area was barred under Section 7 of AFSPA without prior sanction of the Government of India. The court judgements of 2006 and 2014 in support of his contention that without GoI's sanction, even a complaint against a serving army officer operating in the disturbed area was prohibited under the law.
The decision has shattered hopes of hundreds of families who lost their dearer ones in the firing by the armed forces during past three decades. These families were waiting with a hope that they would get justice sooner or later by setting the armed forces accountable for the killing of innocent civilians. Besides, the court decision has made a mockery of the probes ordered by the J&K government against the killing of civilians at the hands of the armed forces. This is not the first time when the State government ordered any probe against the civilian killings. In fact, during the current and the previous regimes including the NC-Congress and the PDP-Congress regimes, dozens of probes have had been ordered against the armed forces for fake encounters, custodial disappearances, and civilian killings but not a single probe has reached its logical conclusion.
The court decision raised eyebrows and evoked strong reaction among various sections of the society. Mainstream politicians, separatist leadership and civil society termed the decision mockery of the justice. The separatist leadership said the decision had pierced the balloon of the so-called accountability and justice. Chairman Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said the armed forces enjoy complete immunity from any accountability or legal prosecution under the cover of AFSPA.
Even the PDP-BJP government has taken a U-turn after the court decision by saying that the name of Major Aditya is not mentioned in the FIR. One of the PDP members, Firdous Ahmad Tak said India was a country where Army had the license to kill and political institutions were being demonised in the name of collective conscious.


Why am I so tired this week? I kept wondering.
1 sleepless night (throwback to newborn stage) due to potty-training and Maile's new tendency to remove diaper while in crib!
Collective hours spent on Milk It this week: 5.
Hours spent on everything else: umpteen.
Add in daylight savings and its effects on children's sleep patterns and it starts to become very clear to me why I am so tired and why I haven't been able to accomplish much with Milk It this week.
With products being printed as I write, it appears to be time to realign. Daddy - you take storytime!
