Das Amt Neresheim, seit dem 17. Jahrhundert Oberamt Neresheim genannt, war ein Amt (Verwaltungsgebiet) innerhalb der Grafschaft Oettingen, welches bis 1806 bestand. Der Sitz des Amtes war die ländliche Stadt Neresheim.

Geschichte

Die Entstehung des Amtes Neresheim geht auf die Herrschaft der Abtei Neresheim zurück, welche im Jahr 1298 Besitzungen in über 82 Orten hatte. Das Amt Neresheim, welches erstmals in Unterlagen des 14. Jahrhunderts auftaucht, hatte deutlich weniger.

Die Grafen von Dillingen, Stifter des Klosters Neresheim, hatten sich lediglich die Vogteirechte über die Abtei gesichert, was nach dem Aussterben der Grafen 1258 einen jahrhundertelangen Rechtsstreit um den Status des Klosters, das sich keinesfalls mit der drohenden Landsässigkeit abfinden wollte, auslöste. Als Nachfolger der Dillinger beanspruchten die Grafen von Oettingen diese Rechte. Außerdem machte das Hochstift Augsburg, dessen Bischof in verwandtschaftlicher Beziehung zur Stifterfamilie stand, Ansprüche geltend. 1263 beendet ein Urteil von Albertus Magnus – vorerst – den Streit: Die Vogtei kam formal an das Hochstift, blieb de facto aber in Form einer Pfandschaft bei Oettingen.

Im Jahre 1764 endete der Streit endgültig: die Abtei Neresheim wurde aus der Landsässigkeit entlassen und stieg zu einer Reichsabtei auf, was jedoch einen großen Verlust an Grundherrschaft auf Seiten des Klosters bedeutete, zum Beispiel auch die Abtretung der Stadt Neresheim. Auch das Amt Neresheim wurde dadurch verkleinert, ihm kam jedoch in den weiterhin zum Amt gehörigen Orten die Grundherrschaft zu. Im selben Jahr wurde auch das Kastenamt Flochberg in das Amt Neresheim eingegliedert.

Im Jahr 1806 kam das komplette Fürstentum Oettingen und damit auch das Amt Neresheim im Zuge des Zerfalls des Alten Reiches an das Königreich Bayern. Auch die Reichsabtei kam an Bayern. Mit dem Grenzvertrag zwischen Bayern und Württemberg 1810 kam der Westteil der Oettingischen Gebiete und damit auch der Großteil der Besitzungen des Amtes und der Reichsabtei an das Königreich Württemberg und wurden hier größtenteils in das neue, württembergische Oberamt Neresheim eingegliedert.

Verwaltung

Die Oettingischen Grafen waren über das Amt Neresheim in ihrem Herrschaftsbereich Dorfherren, Gerichtsherren und Landesherren, während die Grundherrschaft (bis 1764) bis auf wenige Sondergüter (wie zum Beispiel Hohlenstein und Kösingen) der Abtei unterlag, in manchen Fällen auch auswärtigen Besitzern. Andersherum hatte das Amt Außenbesitzungen, in denen nur die Grundherrschaft ausgeübt wurde.

Die kommunale Verwaltung des Amtes oblag einem Rat aus 12 Mitgliedern mit zwei Bürgermeistern an der Spitze. Dieser fungierte als Rechtssprecherkollegium am städtischen und Hochgericht, welche seit 1502 identisch waren.

Stadt und Kloster trugen zur Besoldung von Vogt und Amtsknecht bei, die Herrschaft und das Kloster übernahmen hingegen Leistungen wie das Unterhalten von Mauern und Toren oder die Baulast des Rathauses. Öffentliche Einnahmen wurden gleichermaßen zwischen Amt, Kloster und Stadt aufgeteilt.

63% of working Malaysians have no time for family, friends or themselves. Supahands launched a service to help them save time by delegating tasks to virtual assistants. With the service in full swing, Supahands turned to VLT to design business cards that best represent their business.
Supahands was relatively unknown. While handing out business cards is a good way to leave a lasting impression, that's not always the case. We needed to design business cards that are memorable while staying true to the brand's proposition.
We decided to show what Supahands does instead of talk about it. So we reimagined the way traditional business cards work to lend a helping hand. Literally.
to tie up all the loose ends and keep earphones tangle-free.
to easily mark the last page users have read, on the go.
to easily fit in small pockets for emergency measurements.
More than just design and copywriting, the functionality of the business cards established Supahands as a brand to be remembered.

If a Muslim continues to display positive changes after Ramadan, this is not only a possible sign that the fasting has been accepted, but also a sign that a new habit has been formed.
During Ramadan, we are continuously doing our best to make positive changes. From the early hours of the morning as dawn breaks until the later hours of the evening, we carefully schedule when we will eat, pray and perform our tasks. We are more conscious of time and of our behavior; some people start to be efficient with time management and know the time of Maghrib down to the minute or second, even though they used to be heedless of that before Ramadan.
Despite the challenges to one's mood when hungry or thirsty, we display a positive and modest demeanor as best as we can. If you continuously make positive choices during Ramadan and reinforce those positive behaviors until they become habits, this will help us actualize the purpose of Ramadan, which is to transform us as human beings and help us be the best version of ourselves. Ramadan is not just about those 30 days, it is about how those 30 days influence us the rest of the year, and throughout our life journey.
So, here are some ideas that you can try to tap into this Ramadan for lasting changes.
Many of us have Ramadan goals such as reading the Qur'an, performing more prayers in congregation or setting aside specific blocks of time for worship and studying our deen.
But alongside our spiritual goals, this is a time to also modify negative habits in our professional lives.
Spirituality is not just about reading the Qur'an, it is about implementing the instructions in it that help us be successful people spiritually, physically and socially.
Working ethically and productively is a form of worship and gratitude to Allah . Even if your career or educational field is considered more secular, it can still be considered an act of worship if you display Islamic manners, have work ethics and outstanding behaviors- provided you remain mindful of Allah with every action.
Habits are beneficial, it is our brain's natural way of increasing efficiency. By turning daily actions and behaviors into habits on auto-pilot, we can perform with less thought and concentration, thus freeing up more of our focus for important tasks. Subhanallah, this is a wonderful way our brain operates to keep us at maximum efficiency.
Imagine if you had to ponder over every single action, we would be in a daze.
The first time you do something new, it requires more thought and focus. As you repeatedly perform that same action it seems to become easier and the brain power you are using to perform that task decreases.
So here is how to form new beneficial habits in Ramadan.
The trigger that causes us to begin the action, the actual action and the result which either rewards or punishes us.
When this is repeated consistently, our brain can set it into an automated mode, and after time, that action becomes a habit.
This is why breaking bad habits can be so difficult; We train our mind to automatically expect a certain routine.
During Ramadan, we are continuously choosing positive actions and often on a schedule, thus reinforcing the behavior into a habit.
These 30 days of choosing positive habits, such as getting to work on time every day and following a schedule of daily goals, will strengthen the neural pathways associated with those behaviors.
A study on habits showed 43% of our actions are performed daily and usually in the same context, which makes the power of habit really important to our productivity and creativity.
Think about that for a moment, almost half of what you do every day is habitual. That means you have immense potential to alter negative habits into productive and beneficial ones this Ramadan. 30 days is enough time to solidify a new habit and keep it as Ramadan ends.
One simple change held onto consistently can have a large impact.
Remind. Choose a reminder that will go along with your goal, something that happens on a regular basis for you or a pre-planned alarm. Some examples of reminders would be a phone alarm that goes off midday, or you can teach yourself to associate new changes with already occurring behaviors.
If you want to use the miswak before fajr every day, then put it in the same area as you do wudu. When you see it while doing wudu, it will trigger you to remember this task.
If you want to send out a weekly wrap-up email to your coworkers or employees, set a phone alarm that goes off near the end of the day reminding you to write down something memorable for that workday.
Perhaps you want to read a book about your career field, put the book in the same location where you used to keep the TV remote. Seeing the book will act as a mental reminder.
Repeat. We are always motivated in the beginning when we make changes, but it is consistency over time that will help it become a habit. Don't ignore the alarms and mental cues. Remain consistent and keep repeating the positive actions.
Remember, the more you repeat an action associated with the trigger, the more it becomes automated in your mind and will become a part of your improved routine. You have to keep repeating the same behavior while remaining patient. If you think about Qur'an memorization, it takes repetition in order for your brain to hold onto that information. Forming a habit requires that same repetition.
Reward. Take the time to feel grateful for the positive changes you are making and smile. Give yourself a pat on the back and if you want to celebrate, do it! Reflect on the blessings of making positive, productive changes during this beautiful month. For example, if you want some new equipment for your business, reward yourself by investing in some of it.
Ramadan gives us a beautiful opportunity to not only deepen our spiritual connection and seek forgiveness but to improve ourselves in all facets of our lives. 30 days of consistent positive changes will turn into more beneficial habits that increase our productivity long after Ramadan. If you are able to control your hunger and thirst, even during a hot summer month, you have the ability to become more disciplined with your work habits and increase your productivity.
Remember that almost half of our daily actions are habitual and we are the ones who created those habits; this shows us how much we can improve if we set our mind to it and remain steadfast. Building habits takes time and consistency, Ramadan is a perfect opportunity to make those positive changes we need in our lives.
What positive change are you trying to turn into a habit this Ramadan? Share with us in the comments.

Most people hear the phrase "start up" and automatically think it only refers to owning your own company. The truth is, we are all in start up mode every time we start something new. This can mean a new job, new role in your company, moving to a new city, a new relationship, or starting a new week or new month. Employees, sales people, managers, and owners are 'starting up' all the time. And when you quit starting up, you will just stop. Once you start up, hopefully you'll go where you want to go. Here's how to make that happen.
My first business started 25 years ago and I've had thousands of 'start up' phases along the way. I also had a bunch of stalls and slow downs, gone backwards more times than I can count and missed more quotas than I have hit. In fact, you and I are both in start up phase again right now, as we set new quotas and targets.

Irish poet Doireann Ní Ghríofa joins us to talk about her latest poetry collection, To Star the Dark, and her prose debut, A Ghost in the Throat, a debut that has captured the imaginations (and all the awards) in Ireland and the UK and is just out now in North America. A Ghost in the Throat is wonderfully hard to categorize: a memoir, a work of historical fiction, an autofiction, a translation, a book about translation, a book about poetry, a book that is poetry. It is all of these things and yet reads less like a work of avant-garde literary experiment and more like a detective or adventure story, an act of literary archaeology, a love letter, and a reclamation against the erasure of women's lives and women's art.
We talk about the erasure of women, the erasure of motherhood in literature, the erasure of Irish language, Irish culture and the Irish social order under British colonization, and how she conjured the largely erased life of Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill (who wrote the Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, one of the great laments of keens in Irish literature) in the face of such absence and silence. We also talk about translating the Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire and about self-translation (of Doireann's own Irish language poetry into English), about oral poetic traditions carried down from one woman's body to another versus text-based poetry fixed to the page. All this and much more.
For the bonus audio archive Doireann reads two contemporary poems she loves. "A Spider" by the Irish poet Colette Bryce and "Broom" by the American poet Deborah Digges.

Public Service Enterprise Group Inc plans to spend about $3.5 billion over the next five years to expand and modernize its US power plant fleet to remain competitive in the current low natural gas price environment.
"The gas industry has done a remarkable job of finding more fuel over the past several years, but that has depressed both gas and power prices. We have to continue modernizing our fleet to keep our plants competitive," said Shahid Malik, president of PSEG Energy Resources and Trade.
Most of the company's generation investments will go into building new gas plants at Sewaren in New Jersey and Keys in Maryland, adding capacity at nuclear reactors and upgrading existing gas units, Malik said.
Rapid growth in gas production in the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia from 1.8 billion cubic feet per day five years ago to 16.5 bcfd now has cut the region's gas prices down to just $1.57 per million British thermal units this year. That is down from a five-year (2010-2014) average of $3.66.
With gas so cheap, generators like PSEG are burning more of the fuel and less coal to produce electricity, making it tough for other fuels to compete.
"The markets don't care if electricity comes from solar, gas or nuclear. They buy based on price and since gas is the lowest-cost fuel, it is replacing coal, oil and even some smaller nuclear plants," Malik said.
PSEG, which still gets most of its power from nuclear, now generates up to 40 percent of the rest from gas plants and just about 10 percent from coal.
That is a switch from a few years ago, when coal produced 30 percent of PSEG's power, and gas as little as 20 percent.
"You are seeing the slow demise of the coal industry in the United States. It started off due to environmental reasons and is now being pushed downhill by low-cost gas," Malik said.
PSEG, however, continues to believe in a diversified fleet, including a mix of nuclear, coal, gas and renewables, and has no plans to shut coal plants at this time.
"The coal plants are not making as much money as they had in the past, but do still produce some income," Malik said.
He noted that some coal units have become peaking plants that run only when demand is very high and they are needed to maintain grid reliability.

La doctrina Parot  es el nombre habitual con el que se conoce la jurisprudencia establecida a partir de la sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de España del 28 de febrero de 2006 (resolución a un recurso presentado por Henri Parot, miembro de  ETA) por la cual la reducción de penas por beneficios penitenciarios (trabajo, estudios, etcétera) se aplica respecto a la pena total y no respecto al máximo legal permitido de permanencia en prisión que, según el ya derogado Código Penal de 1973, es de 30 años. Dentro del Tribunal Supremo, uno de sus principales impulsores fue Julián Sánchez Melgar.

Esta doctrina fue modificada en 2008 solo parcialmente por el Tribunal Constitucional de España en la conocida como doctrina del doble cómputo penal. En 2013 la Gran Sala del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos (TEDH) resolvió definitivamente en un recurso presentado por una condenada de ETA que la aplicación de la doctrina Parot con carácter retroactivo vulneraba los artículos 7 y 5.1 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, por lo que las reducciones comenzaron a ser aplicadas sobre el máximo tiempo de permanencia en prisión legal permitido, lo que resultó en la puesta en libertad inmediata de muchas personas con penas que superaban ampliamente los 30 años.

Núcleo de la doctrina Parot
Con ocasión del recurso de casación presentado por Henri Parot, miembro de la organización terrorista Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), contra el auto dictado por la sección primera de la Sala de lo Penal de la Audiencia Nacional, la Sala de lo Penal del Tribunal Supremo consideró aplicable retroactivamente el principio que fijó en el fundamento de derecho quinto, en lo que afectaba al cumplimiento de las condenas y su límite máximo, y que señalaba:

Recurso ante el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos (TEDH)

Primera resolución del TEDH
El 10 de julio de 2012, la Sala Pequeña del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos sentenció que la aplicación retroactiva de la llamada «doctrina Parot» violaba los artículos 7 y 5.1 de la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos «respecto a la irretroactividad de las leyes penales desfavorables», por lo que instó al gobierno español a poner en libertad a Inés del Río Prada, miembro de ETA condenada a 2700 años de cárcel por varios atentados terroristas y que, después de 18 años de cárcel, tenía que haber sido puesta en libertad el 3 de julio de 2008 por haber obtenido los beneficios penitenciarios establecidos en el Código Penal de 1973 (redención de penas de hasta 12 años por trabajo o por estudios).

La respuesta del Gobierno español, presidido por Mariano Rajoy, fue discrepar «severamente» de la sentencia y anunciar el recurso ante la Gran Sala del Tribunal de Estrasburgo y que, en tanto se sustancia, no se pondría en libertad a la condenada porque existía riesgo de fuga «sin ningún género de dudas».

Estimación del recurso contra la doctrina Parot por la Gran Sala del TEDH
El recurso presentado por España fue resuelto por la Gran Sala del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos compuesta por 17 magistrados, el 21 de octubre de 2013, y determinó que la aplicación retroactiva de la doctrina Parot vulneraba el artículo 5 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, y que el Tribunal Supremo aplicó de forma retroactiva jurisprudencia más desfavorable al reo, siendo que la Constitución española, en su artículo 9, prohíbe la retroactividad. En este sentido, el alto tribunal consideró «detención ilegal» la permanencia de la penada, Inés del Río, en prisión. El Tribunal Europeo recordó que su sentencia sentaba jurisprudencia, tenía carácter vinculante y que el Estado español se había comprometido, como firmante del convenio del propio Tribunal, a acatar la sentencia y cumplirla:

Puesta en libertad de Inés del Río
La Sala de lo Penal de la Audiencia Nacional de España, compuesta por 17 magistrados, al día siguiente de la sentencia del TEDH de 21 de octubre de 2013, resolvió por unanimidad la puesta en libertad inmediata de la miembro de ETA, Inés del Río, lo que se cumplió por Instituciones Penitenciarias en la misma tarde del 22 de octubre, saliendo de la cárcel de Teixeiro en la provincia de La Coruña.

Excarcelaciones posteriores a la derogación
Horas después de la liberación de Inés del Río, las autoridades judiciales británicas pidieron a las españolas explicaciones respecto a cómo podía afectar la sentencia a la causa del etarra Antonio Troitiño, detenido en Reino Unido desde 2011. Los representantes de la justicia dieron un plazo de una semana para recibir la información y poder valorar. Mientras tanto, Troitiño quedó en libertad condicional.

Igualmente, la sentencia podría afectar a otros 55 miembros de ETA condenados por terrorismo a los que también se les había aplicado la doctrina Parot, así como a seis miembros de los GRAPO, uno de los GAL (aunque algunas fuentes indican que este último caso era falso), otro de Resistencia Galega y quince presos comunes con delitos de especial gravedad.

Para mediados de enero de 2014 ya habían sido puestos en libertad, sobre la base de esta derogación, un total de 63 miembros de ETA y nueve de otras organizaciones.

In July 1974, a gold record was awarded to Elton for Caribou, his fourth chart-topping album in the U.S.
The LP was recorded at Caribou Ranch, the legendary recording complex near Nederland, Colorado.
In related news, the Colorado Music Hall of Fame will be holding a concert, dubbed The Rocky Mountain Way, on August 13, at Fiddler's Green in Greenwood Village. During the event, the Caribou Ranch recording studio will be inducted. Besides Elton, the establishment attracted artists such as the Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, Chicago, Stephen Stills and Michael Jackson.
Also being inducted are Joe Walsh with Barnstorm, and the late Dan Fogelberg.
The show will feature performances from music-makers including Garth Brooks; Amy Grant and Vince Gill; the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Richie Furay; Randy Owen of Alabama; Todd Park Mohr; Michael Martin Murphey; Big Head Todd & The Monsters; and surprise guests. Walsh will also reunite with his Caribou recording band Barnstorm for the performance.


Hey guys, I've gotten version 1.2 of the test demo of Joe Snow ready. I have done major changes to the player's platforum movement. Before, it was moving in a tile base fashion, but now it's moving freely.
I wanted to make sure that the test demo is working smoothly so that way, though out the development, there should not be much performance problems.
Just a friendly reminder, I'm still open to feedbacks. Any runtime problems, suggestions, or compatibilities are still welcome.
I'ts impossible to get out from one acid pit in "Big score needed" level after the movement change - or at least I'm unable to jump on that mover.
Also some coins in various levels aren't accesible after movement change, like those two most right/middle height in level 1.
1. Uh-oh, I see what you mean. I'll fix that up right away.
2. Don't worry about those two coins. You don't have to collect every coins or crystals in every level.
Ok, v1.3 is now up. Try now.

Webs of Relation: Carrie Moyer and Sheila Pepe at the Museum of Arts and Design

"Tabernacles for Trying Times" at the Museum of Arts and Design was a drifting survey of the work of painter Carrie Moyer and sculptor Sheila Pepe, among the most high-profile queer couples in the contemporary art world. Friends since 1995, partners since 1998, and legal spouses since 2015, Moyer and Pepe are well known for their individual practices: the former for radiant paintings in which abstract forms transmute into suggestive bodily shapes, the latter for enthralling fiber-based installations that recall spider webs. But they employ complementary formal languages and share a longstanding engagement with feminist and queer politics in their art and activism alike. The exhibition intermingled the two artists' works, allowing viewers to pick up on the correspondences between, for instance, the navy-blue curvy lattice of Moyer's painting Curtains (2016), set against a fiery backdrop of reds, oranges, and yellows, and the dark loops and knots of rope that comprise Pepe's hanging work 91 BCE Redux (2020); or how the rich blue, purple, and orange fibers that compose Pepe's droopy, amorphous weaving Just This Corner (for 2020), 2021, might be a direct response to the shapes and hues present in Moyer's Cloud Buds (2019), which evokes a tree limply attached to nipple-like clouds.

Besides elucidating some of the powerful formal synergies between Moyer's paintings and Pepe's sculptures going back to the early years of their relationship, "Tabernacles for Trying Times," which originated at the Portland Museum of Art in 2020, emphasized their collaborative works of the past decade. The show's centerpiece, Parlor for the People (2020), is one such project: a gathering space filled with brilliantly patterned stools and cushions set beneath a tangle of colorful abstract shapes descending from the ceiling. As the wall text indicated, this parlor also functions as a tabernacle—a multivalent term that can refer to a place of worship, a receptacle for holy wine and bread, or a portable tent. Encouraging visitors to sit down and talk, the work was intended to help participants "gain sustenance as a community with naturally occurring differences," according to a quote from Moyer in the wall text. Perhaps the most urgent form of collaboration, the artists propose, is having a conversation with someone different from you. Yet how exactly can such an experience inherently provide sustenance and connection, I wondered, waiting for someone to take a seat on a nearby stool (alas, nobody ever did). While the artists developed the work before the pandemic, when talking to strangers in an indoor setting was a less nerve-racking experience, this is clearly wishful thinking in these "trying times."
But even without that complication, the work conveys a didactic and naive way of thinking about community, which distracted from the show's more compelling nonparticipatory works that illustrate an aesthetic dialogue between the artists that has deepened with the passage of time. Pepe's Common Sense: MAD (2021), a crocheted work of purple yarn, rope, and shoelaces with stalactite-like formations that stretched across a corner of the gallery, reflected a similarly sentimental ethos of participation: at select times during the show's run, viewers were invited to engage in an act of "collective unmaking," disentangling the artist's intricately woven pieces and, in theory, repurposing the materials to create something new. While there is a hazy beauty in the collectivizing gestures of Parlor for the People and Common Sense: MAD, such "feel good" artworks, suffused with vague, low-stake frameworks of social practice, are outmoded and a bit tired, even if they come from a place of earnestness.
The exhibition honored Moyer and Pepe's relationship and insisted on its centrality to their practices, but, perhaps because of the insularity of coupledom, the show seemed anxious to prove that their works are outward-facing and socially engaged. What I appreciated most about the show was sitting in on the artists' own fascinating dialogue—not the prospect of debating current events with a stranger.

Will we see an Arab version of #WhyIDidn'tReport
Sep 26,2018 - Last updated at Sep 26,2018
It started in response to a Tweet by US President Donald Trump. After not speaking out for a few days, the US president lashed out against professor Christine Blasey Ford, who accused US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her. Trump's Tweet laid the blame on the victim, questioning her credibility because she did not report the incident thirty years ago, when she was 15.
The response came in the form of the hashtag #WhyIDidn'tReport, and as a result social media exploded with hundreds of thousands of posts by women who have been quiet for decades about sexual assaults that took place when they were 7, 9, 12 or 16 years old.
What is most troubling in cases of sexual assault is the utter lack of empathy often by relatives and friends who dismiss the complaint and portray victims as guilty. I am sure social scientists will study the phenomena that came out in these posts, but a quick read gives a very detailed answer as to picture of what usually happens. Most of the victims report being sexually assaulted or raped as children or as teenagers. The aggressors are almost always friends or friends of friends, and in many cases family members or friends of family members. The trauma is so powerful that many have reported that they chose to be silent literally for decades, some saying that their posts on Twitter were the first time that they have expressed to anyone what happened to them.
Some have said that they did report what happened but were often dismissed, not believed, or told it was their fault because of how they were dressed or convinced that those attacking them could never have done this or that it would ruin their lives. Women often reported that the aggressors were strong, many spoke of fear for their lives as a result of real or preserved threats by powerful people, who carried out these despicable acts.
A sense of shame is often reported as a reason for staying quiet. The victims often blame themselves and say they felt ashamed and wanted this incident to go away.
But it did not.
Post after post reveal a deep hurt that has festered for years, with many of the women choosing not to tell their parents or their future husbands, and many refusing to tell anyone until their assaulter had died or was no longer around.
But these moving stories, largely happening in the US, made me think of our own region.
Former US president Jimmy Carter may be right that the world's greatest problem is the way women and girls are treated and that sexual assaults are the biggest underreported violations against them.
International effort and learning from others can be useful in this respect. I am told that Scandinavian countries have made important strides in the area of protecting girls and women in vases of sexual assault through very tough legislations, as well as an aggressive campaign in schools, houses of worship and other cultural settings. As a result, we can see how the number of women who have been elected have increased because of the confidence that laws and bylaws have given leaders from both genders to excel.
If these unreported stories happened in an open western country, how bad is the situation in our region, where the issue of shame is so much more powerful, and the patriarchal society is so authoritative and commanding that it would certainly scare away any young person who would want to report an assault on them.
The problem in our region, of course, is not just the fact that conservative societies tend to push these issues under the rug but that the predominance of men in all levels of power, whether political, social or economic make the chance of reform in this area so much harder. Surely, we have heard courageous calls from Her Majesty Queen Rania and others for the need to stand up to physical and sexual assault against children, but such calls are not enough. We need a cultural breakthrough along with real change in the way issues of sexual assault are handled.
We need to find a way to unlock the culture of silence and to initiate a campaign that translates these issues into real and strong legislation. Ignoring complaints by police or other authorities should never be tolerated and those who shame or belittle those stepping up to speak should not be allowed to continue in their positions of authority.
We need to find a way to encourage women to speak out, and simultaneously ensure that when they do, their words and testimonies are handled with respect, and are followed through seriously so that our girls and women do not have to reach the point of telling us decades later why they were reluctant to report.

Mumbai-based Resfeber Labs Pvt Ltd, which runs an online logistics marketplace The Porter to book mini-trucks and tempos for intra-city pick-up and deliveries, has raised Rs 3 crore (just under $500,000) from Kae Capital.
Founded in August 2014 by IIT graduates Pranav Goel, Uttam Digga and Vikas Choudhary, The Porter facilitates users to hire vehicles for relocation or to move perishables, ecommerce deliveries and even construction supplies. It currently links users to service providers in Mumbai.
Prior to setting up The Porter, Goel and Digga worked with J.P. Morgan as analysts and Choudhary was with Juniper Networks as an ASIC engineer.
"We had been tracking this space for a long time and when The Porter came along we believed it was the right team to back to help them execute their vision. We believe that it is a huge market opportunity," said Sasha Mirchandani, founder of early-stage investment firm Kae Capital.
The Economic Times, which first reported the news, said the firm is looking to raise a Series A round of funding in five-six months.
It added that the funds will be used to expand its fleet in Mumbai, as well as to enter Delhi and Bangalore in two-three months. The firm also plans to expand its team of 40 by adding employees in the business development and technology functions.
The report cited the company management which claimed that The Porter is already doing over 2,000 transactions every month. Besides individual users, the startup has handled assignments for corporate clients, including consumer goods major ITC, e-com focused logistics company Delhivery and furniture e-tailer Urban Ladder.
The firm says its network has a fleet of 100 vehicles, including small tempos to light commercial vehicles, which are in turn owned and operated by its partners. The Porter provides a tech backbone to connect these logistics services providers to users.
Several logistics-related startups have raised VC funding in the past six-seven months, partly due to a rise in e-commerce transactions. Another logistics marketplace to get private funding recently is Blowhorn which raised seed funding from impact investor Unitus Seed Fund, with participation from Tim Draper, founder and managing partner of Draper Associates.
Early this year, Infibeam, which has an e-commerce venture as well as an e-com enabler business, launched a logistics aggregation platform for online merchants. Called Shipdroid, the SaaS platform enables e-commerce merchants to integrate with a range of courier service providers in India.
The logistics space is seeing entry of new players too. For instance, taxi-hailing apps have started experimenting with logistics to better use the network of cabs when they are not transporting passengers.
Recently Ola started a local meal delivery service allowing users to order food from partner restaurants in the vicinity which are then picked by its cab or auto drivers to deliver to the consumers. This is still in its pilot phase in limited delivery areas.
Last week, The Economic Times reported that Ola is also looking to start local delivery of groceries as an extension of this service.

Column: Disney joins the cord-cutting revolution
'Beyond the Lines'
By Jordan Kobritz, Syndicated Columnist
Originally Published: August 22, 2017 10 p.m.
In a nod to the "if you can't beat them, join them" idiom, the Walt Disney Company has decided to join the cord cutting revolution.
In a stunning move that shocked the media entertainment industry Disney announced plans to introduce not one but two streaming services, one built around sports programming and the other focused on movies and television programming. The former will be unveiled early next year and will include live baseball, hockey, tennis and college sports. The service will stream an estimated 10,000 regional and national events in its first year alone. Subscribers to the new service as well as cable and satellite subscribers will have access to the sports service through an enhanced version of ESPN's current app.
The second of Disney's new streaming services, expected to debut in 2019, will put the company in direct conflict with its current distributor, Netflix and its cable providers. Netflix is guaranteed to lose some if not all access to new Disney and Pixar films which it currently streams online. Cable providers pay hefty fees to distribute Disney's family of ESPN and other channels. Disney acknowledged that the company hasn't spoken with cable providers, but said it was confident it would be able to maintain "favorable" deals with them.
Robert A. Iger, Disney's chairman and chief executive officer, didn't mince words in describing the company's new business model. "I would characterize this as an extremely important, very, very significant strategic shift for us," he told analysts on a conference call to discuss quarterly earnings. Clearly, the move was related to those earnings results which saw a slight decline in revenue and a 9 percent drop in net income, the continuation of a two-year decline that Disney is trying to stem.
Disney's new streaming services will be powered by BAMTech, a technology company that handles direct-to-consumer video for MLB and HBO, among others. Last year Disney paid Major League Baseball $1 billion for a 33 percent stake in BAMTech with an option to acquire a majority stake at a later date. That date came sooner than expected. Simultaneously with the announcement of the new streaming services, Disney acknowledged it had recently spent $1.58 billion for an additional 42 percent of the company.
What all this means to consumers is still a bit hazy, but people who loath paying for programming they don't watch will rejoice. Those who favor sports won't have to pay for movie channels they ignore. Others who prefer watching movies will soon have exclusive access to new Disney films, including a sequel to "Frozen," a live-action version of "The Lion King" and "Toy Story 4" without paying for sports programming. Presumably, subscribers to the movie service will also have access to Disney's vast library of content including movies and television programming from Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD. Another benefit to consumers is a promise by Iger that the new service will not have advertising.
Netflix, which specializes in providing streaming media and video-on-demand online, is definitely the loser in this new environment. The company currently has rights to new Disney-branded films, rights Disney will take back. However, Iger suggested that some Disney films – Marvel and Star Wars, for example - may continue to be licensed through Netflix.
Disney isn't the first network to introduce a direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service. CBS did it in 2014. However, Disney is a media goliath and now that the company has joined the fold, expect more networks to follow.
Iger wouldn't say how much the new service would cost although he said the goal was a price low enough to encourage adoption without cannibalizing traditional cable and satellite subscriptions. That balancing act may be difficult to pull off. Traditional subscriptions to ESPN have been on a downward spiral for the past two years and fell an additional 3.5 percent in the most recent quarter.
However Disney's new day unfolds, chalk up its recent announcement as a big win for consumers.

We have discussed in previous post what a pain it is to get water damage to your home. Spring is right around the corner and so are heavy rain showers. Gutters are built to prevent your home from getting water damage by gathering the rain and running it toward the downspouts. Without functional gutters, water would be pounding your roof with nowhere to go. Therefore, it can be dangerous to have dirty gutters!
Clean gutters are a great way to ensure the rain water won't meet up with your foundation or end up in your basement. If your gutters are clogged with debris and leaves, water will likely pool up. This affects the gutters' ability to protect your home from water. Clogged gutters are also a major breeding ground for mosquitos, and who wants a mosquito infestation around their home?
1. Wear rubber gloves and a long sleeve shirt to protect your hands and arms from sharp objects that may be lodged in the gutter.
2. There are many different types of ladders you could use while cleaning the gutter. If you use an extendable ladder, be sure to use a stand- off stabilizer so you don't damage the gutter.
3. Use a small plastic shovel or scoop to remove the buildup.
4. Putting a plastic tarp down will spare your lawn when discarding the buildup.
5. Once all the gunk has been removed from the gutter, use a garden hose to flush the gutters. This will also make it easier to spot if there is a leak that needs repaired on your gutters.
If water damage strikes your home because of a gutter issue, contact TPE immediately. We will send out one of our specialists to fix the damage before it gets worse.

Our New Traditions Dance Festival in January 2016 featured Dance Theatre of Harlem at The Bell playing to the largest and most diverse audience in Augusta's history.
Over the years ballet audiences have supported classical and contemporary ballet companies. And, audiences today have embraced a broader variety of dance with a more athletic interpretation. It is with this in mind, Augusta Ballet brings to Augusta audiences an exciting mix of dance and other events and programs. Augusta Ballet is more than just dance companies. It has evolved over the years to become a company supporting extensive educational outreach in the form of ballet film screenings, master classes, dance camps, and providing dance school scholarships.

Good news, Colin Kaepernick fans: Jay Gruden says the Redskins are seriously considering signing the QB!!!
Bad news, Colin Kaepernick fans: Jay Gruden says they likely won't.
Just a day after losing their SECOND starting QB in less than a month ... Washington's coach says the team has discussed inking Kaep -- but then revealed they probably won't.
"[There's] not a lot of time to get a brand new QB and a system installed and taught in a couple days," Gruden said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday.
"He's been talked about and discussed, but we'll probably go in a different direction."
Of course ... the 'Skins lost Alex Smith to a gruesome injury back on Nov. 18 -- but passed on signing Kaepernick the following week in favor of adding Mark Sanchez.
But ... on "Monday Night Football" -- the Redskins lost yet another starter when Colt McCoy broke his fibula -- and now say Kaepernick's back in play.
Gruden says the team will have a workout with QBs later this afternoon ... though it's unclear if Kaepernick will be a part of those.
Back in November, after Smith's injury ... the 'Skins reportedly worked out EJ Manuel, Josh Johnson and T.J. Yates before going with Sanchez.

TORRANCE — The city of Torrance once again was the site of a recent racially motivated attack, this time targeting a Japanese American man who was in his car with his 13-year-old son and had just left Starbucks at the Rolling Hills Plaza when an unidentified driver exited his car, reportedly tried to goad the man to fight, pushed him, and yelled "Get out of this country. Go back to your country."
A motorist makes an obscene gesture after allegedly yelling, "Go back to your country" during an altercation at Rolling Hills Plaza in Torrance.
Names of the victims are being withheld at their request. A police report has been filed with the Torrance Police Department. The assailant is described as being in his 40s, wearing black gloves with a Hempvana logo, driving a gray Hyundai.
Sandy Roxas, attorney for the victims, is calling for a woman seen recording the encounter to come forward with the video.
The incident is the latest in a string of what appear to be hate crimes occurring over the past few weeks in Torrance, a city with an Asian American population of about 37%.
On July 6, Lena Hernandez, a 54-year-old retired social worker accused of initiating two separate racist tirades on June 10 aimed at Asian Americans in Wilson Park, faced a charge of misdemeanor battery stemming from an Oct. 11, 2019 attack on Kayceelynn Salminao at Del Amo Fashion Center. Arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 5, nearly one year after the incident was reported.
The Rafu Shimpo has learned that earlier this year, Hernandez was convicted of battery and served five days in jail related to an incident that occurred April 6 in Long Beach. Records show that she was also named in a misdemeanor hit-and-run in February in which no one was injured.
The recent rash of hate-speak has led to a call for action, including a change.org petition that is approaching a total of 20,000 signatures, as well as a rally scheduled for Saturday, July 11 at 10 a.m. at Wilson Park.
Roxas stresses the importance of community-wide action. "The filing of a single count of battery is one small step towards holding Lena Hernandez accountable for her actions against Kayceelyn Salminao. However, the victims are disheartened and unsatisfied with the delay in justice and the lack of criminal accountability," she points out.
"Our strength and voices as Asian Americans will not be silenced or defined by the city attorney's decision to decline charges for the June 10, 2020 racially motivated attacks at Wilson Park. These are real victims, including two small children, who suffered emotional and mental trauma as a result of Lena Hernandez's verbal attacks because of their status as Asian Americans."
Statement by Victims of Lena Hernandez
We are relieved that Lena Hernandez has been arrested and we feel that this is one small step towards justice for all the victims. However, we are disheartened and unsatisfied that she was only charged with a single count of misdemeanor battery on Kayceelyn Salminao.
It took 20 million views on social media and the public's outcry for the Torrance Police Department to finally present the case to the Torrance City Attorney's Office for filing consideration.
We have suffered extreme emotional and mental trauma as a result of Lena Hernandez's verbal attacks, yet the city attorney did not find our statements and the viral videos to be sufficient evidence to support a criminal filing of criminal threats, assault, or child endangerment.
The declination is even more disappointing because it sends the wrong message to individuals who choose to threaten and verbally attack people and their children based on their race and ethnicity.
The ugly and racist actions of one individual has highlighted the greatness in coming together for a certain cause, in this case, fighting racism and xenophobia. We know that we are not alone. We know that together, our unified voices can be heard. And now the world knows that we will not tolerate racism and stay silent.
We thank the community for the unending support.

You know how sometimes your most highly anticipated movie screening is right smack in the middle of your usual eating time (ie dinner time) or at odd hour that leaves you with hardly enough time to grab a proper meal?
Now out of these options, you must be thinking 'walio, which cinema will let us watch movie while eating something as luxurious as salmon?' Well, TGV 1Utama will, in the form of their luxurious cinema-and-restaurant concept, Indulge.
TGV 1Utama is already known for having 10 screens which includes an IMAX theatre, the Beanieplex hall and a LUXE hall which comes with Chillax lounge/cafe. Indulge houses two luxurious cinemas, an exclusive lounge and dining area and its own private ticketing counter. Basically, patrons gain exclusivity from the moment they decide to go with Indulge.
I got a taste of this exclusivity when I was invited there for a food tasting session at Indulge. The ambiance of purple lounge eluded elegance, absolute relaxation and fine dining as soon as I checked in with my friends. We were shown to our seats and served with virgin mix grape mojito (RM14).
To start, we were served with smoked duck salad (RM15) and pumpkin salad (RM15). Both salads have their winning points with the smoked duck offering a succulent bite of juicy duck breast tossed with a lot of greens, capsium and skewed with kiwi and balsamic dressing. Did you know that kiwi had more vitamin C than oranges? Well, now you do.
Between the two, the pumpkin salad was my favourite as it had everything I liked in a salad. The honey roasted pumpkin was sweet and goes wonderfully with rocket leaves, cherry tomatoes and capsicum with balsamic dressing. A good mix in terms of texture and taste and definitely something you don't get often.
Moving on, stuffed potato skins (RM12) and lamb koftas (RM14) came next and we dug in eagerly. The stuffed potato skins was comfort food indeed as it was topped with turkey bacon and melted mozzarella. Best eaten immediately to allow the heat to infuse the flavours together.
My friend felt that the lamb kofta was a tad salty but as most middle eastern inspired food, I felt it wasn't too bad especially when eaten with its accompanying green salad. It could however stand to be chewier and doesn't crumble once the fork pierced it.
While Indulge offers a wide variety of main dishes ranging from Hungarian beef goulash to grilled ribeye steak, it was their grilled salmon (RM28) that caught my attention (and my tastebuds). Cooked to perfection, the salmon was fresh, tender and juicy especially when dipped in the lemon butter sauce. To top it off, it came with a helping of mash potato and grilled vegetables.
I would also recommend their cajun chicken (RM20) that came with a grilled succulent chicken thigh with cajun seasoning. The grilled lamb rack (RM28) was an acquired taste, I supposed, as one of my friends didn't eat hers. I helped her with it though, licking up every bit of the rosemary sauce.
After we were satisfactorily settled with dinner, it was lucky draw time and lo and behold, Elie Lam walked away with two pairs of movie tickets in Indulge.
We were then ushered to cinema 2 of Indulge where we were invited (quite literally) to make ourselves comfortable in their massive, reclining seats. The inclusive blankets were quickly unfolded and my friends and I made ourselves snug in it. To call for service or to order your meal, the seats also come equipped with a table and buttons to summon a waiter to assist you.
While we were experiencing the cinema's luxurious facilities while watching trailers of upcoming blockbusters, dessert was served in a cute Japanese bento box. A detachable table was installed across the seat to allow us to enjoy our Panna Cotta (RM12) and Nutty Tortilla Banana (RM12). I enjoyed the Panna Cotta the most especially when its sweetness was balanced with the raspberry puree. The tortilla, not so much because it had peanut butter in it. Besides that, I also found it oily which marred the taste altogether.
We were in fact so comfortable in our seats that we watched the trailers twice. The only downside of Indulge was that the toilets was located downstairs, near to the lounge bar and was quite a walk from the cinemas.
All in all, Indulge is the place to go if you are looking for that extra something while on a movie date or just simply looking to treat yourself. With Indulge, you don't have to worry about being late for your movie and/or skipping or missing up your eating routine.

Time for realism in West's dealings with Russian President Vladimir Putin
It's madness to isolate an angry, nuclear-armed great power with legitimate security interests in its sphere of influence.
By TOM SWITZER
January 12, 2015 — 10.39am
A spectre again haunts Europe. No, I don't mean radical Islam, which once again reared its ugly head last week. I'm referring to a new Cold War, one that represents a far more dangerous threat to the continent.
Russia's illegal incursion in Crimea and insurrection in eastern Ukraine has drawn the wrath of the West. In Russia, meanwhile, anti-Americanism has reached new highs: US President Barack Obama is widely despised and Russian supermarkets use US flags as doormats for customers to wipe their feet on.

It's been a quarter century since the collapse of Soviet communism. Yet, here we are at the dawn of second Cold War between – let's not forget – two nuclear giants. Why?
The conventional wisdom says Russian President Vladimir Putin is a monster bent on reviving the Russian empire. Put the past year's events in a broader historical context, however, and you'll reach a more plausible conclusion.
According to foreign-policy realists (including this writer and my friend and mentor, John Mearsheimer, from the University of Chicago), Putin's conduct has been understandable. It has been a reaction to the West's attempts to pull Ukraine and other former Warsaw Pact satellite states away from Russia's strategic orbit.
In the late 1990s and 2000s, Washington and Brussels expanded NATO up to the frontiers of the former Soviet Union. In so doing, they repudiated an implicit agreement with Mikhail Gorbachev in the early 1990s that we would not exploit Russia's security vulnerabilities, lest the demise of the Soviet Union unleash the kind of chaos and bloodshed that characterised the collapse of other empires.
Add to this the US missile shield on Russia's doorstep and last year's Western-backed coup against a democratically elected, pro-Moscow government in Kiev, and it is no wonder Putin thinks we are intent on "tearing out the claws and teeth" of the bear.
We had some warning of all this. It wasn't just the Russians who warned that NATO expansion would cause trouble. In 1997, the architect of the Cold War doctrine of containment, George Kennan, and former prime minister Paul Keating were among many sceptics. Moving the Western alliance into Russia's face, predicted Kennan, would be a "fateful error". It "may rank in the end," said Keating, "with the strategic miscalculations which prevented Germany from taking its full place in the international system at the beginning of this century".
The critics have been vindicated. Yet the likes of Hillary Clinton and Prince Charles continue to equate Russia's incursion in Ukraine to Adolf Hitler's expansion in the 1930s. In fact, Putin's calculations are based on an old truth of geopolitics: great powers play hardball to defend their vital interests in their sphere of influence. Recall Washington's response to the Soviets' attempts to put nukes in Cuba.
One can agree Putin is a thug and still envisage a role for Russia in what it deemed its near abroad long before Stalin appeared on the scene. After all, Ukraine is a conduit for exports to Europe and covers a huge terrain that the French and Germans crossed to attack Russia in the 19th and 20th centuries, respectively. A vast majority of Crimeans, remember, are glad to be part of the country they called home from the time of Catherine the Great to the time of Nikita Khrushchev.
It is also worth reflecting that we need Russia's support more than we realise. A nuclear deal with Iran is unlikely without Moscow's co-operation. Russia shares intelligence with the US-led coalition about Islamic State terrorists. Picking a fight with Putin also undermines the US pivot to Asia. After all, it merely drives the Russians into the arms of the Chinese and makes it more difficult for Washington to make Asia its number one strategic priority. That is not in Australia's interest.
What to do? The current policy that needlessly enrages a nuclear-armed great power, at a time when its economy is heading for a crash, brings to mind C3PO's opening line in Star Wars: "This is madness!" If made desperate and humiliated further, this weakened power could be dangerous, like a cornered, wounded animal.
A rapprochement, on the other hand, would not just end the crippling sanctions, as well as bring to account those separatists who shot down the Malaysian passenger jet in July. It would more or less respect Putin's limited conditions for peace: call on Kiev to respect the minority rights of ethnic Russians, cease European Union and NATO expansion and make Ukraine a buffer state between East and West.
Call it "appeasement" if you like. But when dealing with a traditional great power with modest regional ambitions, a policy of compromise and accommodation is justified. As Winston Churchill argued: "Appeasement in itself may be good or bad according to the circumstances."
Bear also in mind another wise Churchillian principle: "In victory, magnanimity." The British conservative was no wimp, but he recognised the folly of grinding the face of an old foe in the dirt.
US president George H. W. Bush was magnanimous in 1989-91 when he refused to, as he put it, "dance on the [Berlin] wall" and "gloat" over the collapse of the Soviet empire. Alas, his successors, intoxicated by the belief the US was the "indispensable nation," expanded the US security umbrella without taking into account Russian susceptibilities.
The West can avert a second Cold War if our leaders adopt a more prudent approach towards Russia. Detente would upset unreconstructed cold warriors, but it is more likely to resolve the gravest crisis in the post-Cold War era than the madness of repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
