Was Nehru a 'citizen of London'? Video viral with misleading claim – Alt News
Leave a Comment / Alt News / By Admin
The UK's longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away last week. In the backdrop of this, a clip of Jawaharlal Nehru at a public event is being shared on social media with a claim that Nehru "took the citizenship of London in 1956″ as a hallmark of his loyalty to the Queen.
In the video we hear a man felicitating Nehru saying,"It is my privilege as Chamberlain of this city to offer you both the right hand of fellowship and greet you, Mr Nehru, as a citizen of London."
Twitter user @TheRudra1008 shared this clip along with the claim. The video gained over 40,000 views. (Archived link)

These videos have also surfaced on YouTube Shorts and Facebook.
Alt News noticed that the video by @TheRudra1008 had a watermark on the top right corner which stated — British Pathé.
Using this as a clue, we performed a keyword search and found a slightly longer version of the clip on the British Pathé website. It is one of UK's oldest newsreel archives. The clip is also available on their YouTube channel.
The video description reads, "Two great Prime Ministers, Mr Nehru of India and Mr Holland of New Zealand, receive the Freedom of the City of London at the Guildhall." As per the BBC, the ceremony took place on July 3, 1956.
Stock image website Alamy also has images of Nehru from the Freedom of the City Of London Ceremony in 1956.
What is the Freedom of the City of London Ceremony?
As per the city of London's official website, Freedom of the City of London Ceremony, "one of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies still in existence today, is believed to have been first presented in 1237". As per the BBC, "The tradition of Freedom of the City of London dates back to the 13th century when it attracted privileges including being allowed to go about the city with a drawn sword."
Giving historical context to this honour, the website explains, "The medieval term 'freeman' meant someone who was not the property of a feudal lord but enjoyed privileges such as the right to earn money and own land. Town dwellers who were protected by the charter of their town or city were often free – hence the term 'freedom' of the City."
Those interested in knowing more about the tradition can view the 2013 clip uploaded on City of London's YouTube channel. At 45-second mark, the present Clerk of the Chamberlain's Court at Guildhall Murray Craig also stated that the honor is "largely symbolic". However, historically it gave right to trade. One privilege that 'Freedom' offered was to take sheep over London bridge without toll. Earlier this year, UK-based journalist Tom Harwood was given the honour. In a tweet he wrote, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, "Pleased to say I have been granted the Freedom of the City of London this morning and consequently I am now allowed to herd sheep across London Bridge".
However, the website clarified that "today most of the practical reasons for obtaining the Freedom of the City have disappeared". Freedom of the City of London fall under three categories. The categorisation is based on how the title is bestowed. The highest being Honorary Freedom. In this case, the recipient is invited by the Court of Common Council to take the Freedom. As per the website, "The presentation ceremony usually takes place in Guildhall or the Mansion House before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Common Councillors and invited guests." Based on the location of the ceremony, it seems Nehru was bestowed the Honorary Freedom. The other two categories are Special Nomination and Freedom by Invitation.
The website also states the declaration read by the recipient of the honour:
"I do solemnly swear that I will be good and true to our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the Second; that I will be obedient to the Mayor of this City; that I will maintain the Franchises and Customs thereof, and will keep this City harmless, in that which in me is; that I will also keep the Queen's Peace in my own person; that I will know no Gatherings nor Conspiracies made against the Queen's Peace, but I will warn the Mayor thereof, or hinder it to my power; and that all these points and articles I will well and truly keep, according to the Laws and Customs of this City, to my power." [Non British and British Commonwealth Citizens have the option to substitute "our Sovereign Lady" with "Her Majesty".]
Prior to 1996, the ceremony was open to British or Commonwealth Citizens. Now, it is also to persons from all nationalities. A Wikipedia page lists the recipients of this honour. We also found several tweets about people receiving the Freedom of the City of London.
Indians other than Nehru who received the title
Other than Nehru, Wikipedia page lists freedom fighter VS Srinivasa Sastri and Salar Jung I, prime minister of Hyderabad State from 1853 to 1883, as recipients of the honour.
As per a document in the website of Rajasthan-based deemed university, Jain Vishva Bharati Institute, Sastri was conferred the title in 1921. (view page 4 of the PDF)
Alt News performed another keyword search on Google to find a better source for Jung's Freedom of the City of London Ceremony. We found that the book 'The Salar Jungs' authored by M A Nayeem and Dharmendra Prasad mentions it. The scanned copy of the book is available on the website of Salar Jung Museum. Due to the low resolution of the scanned copy, we looked up Google Books and found the same book there as well. On page 21, it is stated that Salar Jung was the first Indian to be conferred with this title. The readers should note, while the book is searchable, preview to read specific pages is not enabled. Thus, we read the relevant section in the scanned copy and found that the ceremony was conducted in 1876.
More recently, in 2019, regional head of the State Bank of India's UK operations Sanjiv Chadha received the Freedom of the City of London.
The outgoing Regional Head of @TheOfficialSBI's UK operations Sanjiv Chadha today received the Freedom of the City of London. The CEO follows in the footsteps of other distinguished Indians, including Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of the Republic of India. @sbi_uk pic.twitter.com/OQEZXxcx06
— City of London (@cityoflondon) February 4, 2019
To sum it up, several social media users have shared a clip of Jawaharlal Nehru and New Zealand's PM Sir Sidney George Holland at the Freedom of the City of London Ceremony in 1956 with the misleading claim that it shows Nehru accepting London's citizenship. It is clear from the fact-check that the ceremony has no bearing on the nationality or citizenship of an individual. However, it offers recognition and certain privileges that are no longer relevant in today's times.

$162 miliion budget for 2023 approved by UGAAA Board of Directors

Greensboro Ga. —— The fiscal year 2023 budget of $162,278,743 was unanimously approved by the University of Georgia Athletic Association Board of Directors at its annual two-day spring meeting, which concluded on Friday at Reynolds-Lake Oconee.
The budget projection for 2023 represents nearly an eight percent increase from the 2022 budget.
"This (2023 budget) is a look back to pre-Covid numbers," UGA athletic director Josh Brooks said. "Last year there was a lot of uncertainty as we began to return to normal. This year is a return to normal projections as you look at budgets when you talk about travel and recruiting. So it's more of a return to normal. We hope and project it to be a more 'normal' year and it's reflected in the projected budget."
Day Two agenda items included reports from student representatives Meg Kowalski (Tennis), Josh Stinson (Baseball) about initiatives by the Georgia Way program.
Also, student body representative Brennan Cox proposed a series of changes to the student ticket policy for the 2023 school year, which were unanimously approved by the board.
The Student Wellness Committee, represented by Faculty Athletics Representative David Shipley, reported on further programs to enhance the mental well-being of UGA student-athletes.
UGA Vice President for Finance Ryan Nesbit also presented the Treasurer's Report for the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.
The increased emphasis on student-athlete mental health programs was reflected in the 2023 budget projections.
"I think we're seeing it on a national level. It's not just college athletes; it's college students in general," Brooks said. "We recognize that. We're dealing with a lot of high-performing student-athletes that put a lot of pressure on themselves. We're learning that the support we give them in that area goes a long way. They've embraced it. So we want to support them on the court, on the field, in the classroom."
The tenures of all three student representatives expired at the end of the 2022 academic year.
Student-athlete reps on the Board for 2023 will be Jaiden Fields (Softball) and sprinter Caleb Cavanaugh (Track & Field).
The student body representative for 2023 was voted on Thursday by the Board and will be announced at a later date.

Hydrocodone Curbs Back Pain All by Itself
Treatment with extended-release hydrocodone without acetaminophen offered effective relief from chronic low back pain compared with placebo.
Ed Susman
Medically Reviewed by Robert Jasmer, MD
MONDAY, April 15, 2013 (MedPage Today) — Treatment with extended-release hydrocodone without acetaminophen offered effective relief from chronic low back pain compared with placebo, researchers said here.
After 12 weeks of treatment, about 70% of patients on single-entity hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release capsules (Zohydro ER) reported a reduction in pain by at least 30%, compared with 30% of the patients in the placebo group, reported Richard Rauck, MD, from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., and colleagues at the American Academy of Pain Medicine meeting.
Rauck also told MedPage Today that about 55% of patients on single-entity extended-release hydrocodone achieved at least a 50% reduction in pain intensity compared with about 20% of patients taking placebo, and that overall, the reduction in pain intensity was about 52% compared with placebo.
Hydrocodone is currently only available in the U.S. in an immediate-release formulation in combination with non-opioid analgesics such as acetaminophen, he noted. Zohydro ER's developer, Zogenix, filed a New Drug Application with the FDA in May 2012.
"For all the drugs we have in this country, we do not have an approved single-entity hydrocodone, which is odd given the fact that hydrocodone is far and away the most prescribed pain reliever," Rauck said.

Rauck's group enrolled 501 patients with moderate to severe chronic low back pain, half of whom were men. More than 75% were Caucasian. All had previous treatment experience with opioids.
They began the study with an open-label conversion/titration phase (less than 6 weeks), which was followed by a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind treatment phase (12 weeks).
The 501 patients converted from their current opioid to single-entity extended-release hydrocodone that was titrated to a stabilized dose of 20-100 mg twice daily. During the treatment phase, patients (151 per group) received either the study drug or placebo. Rescue medication was allowed.
The primary efficacy endpoint was mean change in average pain intensity from baseline to day 85.
The group reported that the mean change in average pain intensity score from baseline to day 85 was significantly lower in the single-entity extended-release hydrocodone group versus the placebo group.
Also, significantly more patients in the study arm were classified as responders compared with those receiving placebo.
The mean total daily rescue medication use during the treatment phase was lower in the single-entity extended-release hydrocodone group versus the placebo group.
Finally, patients in the study arm were less likely to discontinue treatment compared with those receiving placebo. Rauck said that at 30 days, the probability of patients on placebo discontinuing the study was 50%, while the probability of patients on single-entity extended-release hydrocodone discontinuing was 10%.

By the end of the study, 60.9% of patients on placebo had discontinued compared with 17.9% of patients taking single-entity extended-release hydrocodone.
The most common side effect for patients treated with single-entity extended-release hydrocodone was constipation, nausea, and somnolence.
"We found that hydrocodone extended release is effective and well tolerated for the treatment of chronic low back pain in this population," the authors concluded.
"This is a product that is going to come to the market, and it is going to be useful," predicted Paul Sloan, MD, from the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
"The main advantage is that it takes acetaminophen out of the product," he told MedPage Today. "Acetaminophen can cause liver damage, especially if you have to take it chronically as these patients do. This single-entity product has been a long time coming so this is good."

Agnès Sorel (kasteel Fromenteau (Touraine), 1422 – Anneville-sur-Seine, 9 februari 1450) was de maîtresse van Karel VII van Frankrijk.

Agnès Sorel werd geboren op kasteel Fromenteau in de Touraine rond 1422. Agnès kwam in 1444 aan het Franse hof en voerde het decolleté met ontblote schouders in. Daarmee was ze een echte trendsetter, want vele dames van stand volgden haar voorbeeld. Ze werd de gunstelinge van de Franse koning Karel VII en werd de eerste openlijk erkende maîtresse van de koning, van wie zij onder meer het kasteel van Beauté ontving (in Nogent-sur-Marne bij Parijs). Zij had de titel Dame de Beauté, refererend aan haar schoonheid, maar ook naar de naam van haar kasteel. Zij moest uiteindelijk het hof in Chinon verlaten, omdat de kroonprins, de toekomstige Lodewijk XI, een hekel aan haar had en haar het leven zuur maakte en zij vestigde zich daarna in Loches. Terwijl zij schitterde aan het hof van Karel VII, woonde diens echtgenote, koningin Maria van Anjou, teruggetrokken op haar kasteel.

Op de koning heeft Agnès Sorel een gunstige invloed uitgeoefend. Zij wist hem van zijn manische en depressieve episoden af te helpen, en stimuleerde hem wellicht bij zijn inspanningen om de strijd tegen de Engelsen voort te zetten en van Frankrijk weer een welvarend land te maken. Uit hun verhouding werden vier kinderen geboren. Na de geboorte van het jongste kind overleed zij in Jumièges, waar zij zich bij Karel VII had gevoegd, die op veldtocht was. Men vermoedt dat de kroonprins (de latere koning Lodewijk XI) haar heeft vergiftigd. Haar lichaam werd overgebracht naar Loches en in de kapittelkerk Saint-Ours bijgezet. De kanunniken, aan wie zij met gulle hand schenkingen had gedaan, vroegen aan Lodewijk XI de toestemming om haar graftombe naar het kasteel over te brengen. Dat was voor hem geen punt, op voorwaarde dat de giften dezelfde weg zouden gaan. De kanunniken drongen dus niet verder aan.

Haar prachtig grafmonument, dat tijdens de Franse Revolutie werd beschadigd, werd onder Napoleon gerestaureerd in Parijs en in 2005 naar de kapittelkerk Saint-Ours in het Kasteel van Loches overgebracht waar het nu te bezichtigen is.

The move further solidifies MSNBC's integration with NBC News.
Janelle Rodriguez, senior vp editorial at NBC News, will expand her duties to oversight of MSNBC's dayside programming, MSNBC president Phil Griffin announced Wednesday. Rodriguez will report to NBC News president Deborah Turness and Griffin. The movie further solidifies MSNBC's integration with NBC News and hard news coverage on the cable network during the day, a programming shift instituted by NBC News chairman Andrew Lack last year.
Rodriguez, who joined NBC News in January 2015 from CNN, has quickly established herself as a leader in the news division. The move formalizes a role she has played behind the scenes for several months.
I'm pleased to let you know that I've asked Janelle Rodriguez to officially lead MSNBC dayside coverage in addition to her duties as SVP Editorial, NBC News, and her leadership role at Nightly News. Janelle will report to both me and Deborah and will work closely with our dayside management team, including Izzy Povich, Pat Burkey and Rashida Jones.
As you know, Janelle has been partnering with the dayside team since January and has been essential to guiding the intense political coverage by both NBC News and MSNBC over the past few months. She is a strong editorial leader who fully understands what a formidable force we create when working together, combining resources, and sharing expertise across both networks.
MSNBC's focus on breaking news in the day is a long game and we're still in the early days, but these first six months prove we've got the best team in place to win. Thanks to your hard work and creativity, we've seen measurable success in a short time -- both in the on-air coverage and in the ratings. Our teams are working overtime to produce smart, dynamic live coverage from primary states and major news events around the country. And it's paying off: in February, MSNBC's 9 a.m.-5 p.m. dayside programming was up +166% in the demo, while FOX was up 10% and CNN was down 2%.
We see even greater potential for MSNBC's future, and are building the foundation for a long-term strategy that extends far beyond the campaign season. Janelle is uniquely positioned to drive that effort in dayside.

The still waters of Victory Lake on the Westside were the backdrop on a recent Saturday for 22 people who did something that most people - including themselves - thought they would never do.From amputees to quadriplegics and from age 10 to adult, the group members water-skied, some for the first time in years and many for the first time ever, during a free water ski clinic provided by UCanSki2 and hosted by Brooks Rehabilitation.Steve Kenny, for example, had not water-skied since an injury left him in a wheelchair 15 years ago."It was totally awesome," he said as volunteers rolled him back onto dry land.Kenny said he didn't even realize when the other skiers let him go. "It was the closest rush to skydiving," he said.Mandarin-area resident Ashton Sumner, 10, was the youngest to ski at the event. He was paralyzed in a car accident about four years ago and has been involved with Brooks Rehabilitation for a little more than a year.His mother, Lisa Abarno, said at first he didn't want to go."'Try everything at least once,' I tell him," she said. Like most moms, Abarno said she doesn't want her son to stay inside and play video games every day.Alice Krauss, manager of Brooks Rehabilitation Adaptive Sports and Recreation program, said Brooks Rehabilitation works to improve the physical, social and emotional well-being of individuals with disabilities."Providing adaptive sports opportunities is a key element of improving the quality of life for the disabled members of the greater Jacksonville area," she said.To host the event, Brooks Rehabilitation partnered with Ann O'Brine-Satterfield, winner of six national and two world championships in adaptive water-skiing.O'Brine-Satterfield founded UCanSki2, a USAWaterSki-affiliated ski club dedicated to providing public awareness and outreach opportunities for the disabled.Her organization provides free water-ski clinics for people with disabilities."Come on, you're a pro!" she encouraged from her own wheelchair on the dock.The skiers were first moved from their wheelchairs into an aquatic wheelchair on which they were rolled into the water while they waited for the boat to pick them up. They were given a harness similar to the ones double-skiers use to hold each other up during tricks, and then placed in a seat-like device attached to a wide ski.There were skiers on either side of them as they made their way around the lake, working to encourage them and determine when the skier was strong enough to let go and go on their own.She said the clinics are enriching to participants' self-esteem and self-worth."The smiles never stop," she said. "I'm sure the kids go home and smile from ear to ear for months, and I never stop smiling, either."Krauss said many people are not aware of the many things they can participate in with Brooks Rehabilitation. The organization holds seven events per week, most on the Southside, ranging from wheelchair basketball and tennis to hand-cycling, rugby and archery. Skiing, surfing, martial arts and billiards are also offered on a monthly basis.Brooks Rehabilitation supplies all equipment for the activities, and there is no cost to participate."The three biggest reasons most people have for not participating are not having equipment, not having experience and the cost," Krauss said. "Now there is no excuse."That resonates with Abarno. One of the hardest things she said she's witnessed since her son Ashton's injury was his friends going off to play soccer, with him having to stay behind in his wheelchair.

Syrian doctor goes on trial in Germany for crimes against humanity
The unnamed doctor is accused of torturing and killing prisoners at government-run facilities in Syria
一种 Syrian doctor accused of crimes against humanity for torturing and killing inmates at government-run facilities in 叙利亚 went on trial in a German 法庭 在星期三.
The legal proceedings at the Frankfurt regional court mark the first trial of a Syrian doctor on torture charges and the world's second ever case on Syrian state-sponsored torture.
Last week a court in the German town of Koblenz sentenced an ex-Syrian intelligence officer to life in prison for crimes against humanity, a verdict that was hailed by the United Nations as a "landmark leap forward for justice" for abuses committed during Syria's decade-old civil war.
德国's universal jurisdiction laws allow its courts to prosecute crimes against humanity no matter where they take place.
In this latest case, German federal prosecutors say the doctor, identified only as Alaa M, worked at a government-run prison run by Syrian intelligence services in Homs between April 2011 and the end of 2012, as well as two military hospitals.

UN hails landmark war crimes conviction of Syrian ex-colonel in Germany
The verdict in Germany's landmark Syria torture trial is a ray of hope for victims
It's high time the UK government pursued justice for the Syrian people
He is charged with killing one person, torture in 18 案例, two counts of sexualised violence and causing serious physical and psychological harm to another person, and other crimes including one that led to another death. If convicted he faces a mandatory life sentence.
Alaa M has denied the allegations.
Addressing the court, the-father of-two, who has worked in several German hospitals, did not address the charges but acknowledged that he had worked at a military hospital in Syria.
Alaa M moved to Germany in 2015 and started practising as a doctor. He was recognised by multiple Syrians who reported him to German police, and was eventually arrested in 2020.
In the December 2020 extended arrest warrant, he is accused of several crimes including forced sterilisation, dousing a teenage boy's genitals with alcohol and setting them on fire, and beating an anti-government protester. Alaa M is also accused of intentionally killing a prisoner by injecting them with a lethal substance.
The European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), which contributed to the investigation into Alaa M, said the trial could "finally shed a light on the role of military hospitals in Assad's torture system."
"It has become clear how closely related the work of hospitals and doctors are to those to the detention and torture centres," said Patrick Kroker of the Berlin-based legal charity.
"It also hasn't been acknowledged how instrumental the commitment of sexualised violence in this torture programme," 他说 独立.
然而, the German lawyer said the trials would never be able to achieve full justice as the crimes are so horrendous. 尽管如此, he said they were "significant steps forward".
Alaa M was permitted by the German authorities to practice medicine after re-certifying his Syrian medical credentials. He worked at a clinic near Kassel in central Germany where he was recognised by Syrians who reported him to the authorities triggering the investigation.
Thursday's trial, and others in Germany, have been closely watched by Syrians attempting to seek justice for rights abuses committed during the conflict in Syria.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) says tens of thousands of people are thought to have been arbitrarily arrested, forcibly disappeared and tortured in the decade since the start of the devastating civil war.
至少 100,000 Syrians remain forcibly disappeared in the country according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR). An estimated 15,000 have been tortured to death since March 2011, the majority in Syrian government facilities, the group says.
The Syrian authorities have repeatedly denied these allegations.
However last week's conviction in Koblenz of former colonel Anwar Raslan, 58, who was charged with overseeing the "systematic and brutal" torture of 4000 人们, was widely heralded by Germany's justice minister, the UN, and various rights groups.
Activists welcomed the latest proceedings against Alaa M but criticised German courts for not making Arabic translation readily available to spectators.
HRW said the Frankfurt court must make this available in the trial against Alaa M as it is "vital to help people from affected communities understand the complicated proceedings".
France's Macron calls for EU plan to ease Russia tensions
"To be meaningful, justice should not only be done, but be seen to be done," said Balkees Jarrah, HRW's interim international justice director.
"Court authorities should make Arabic translation more widely available for these cases involving the world's worst crimes committed abroad."

The official Fitbit app for Windows and Windows 10 PC and Mobile has picked up some handy new features for tracking your sleep cycle. First announced earlier in March, Sleep Stages and Sleep Insights are now available in teh Windows app, helping you to track your sleep with more detail and accuracy.
To recap from Fitbit's original announcement, Sleep Stages is a feature that improves on Fitbit's current sleep tracking by taking more factors into account. Instead of leveraging accelerometer data only, Sleep Stages leans on machine learning algorithms and heart rate variability to give you a deeper, more accurate look into your night. The readout is represented in the Sleep Stages section of the app with graphs showing time in light sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep and awake minutes.
Sleep Insights, on the other hands, seeks to take all of your Fitbit data into account to help you spot trends affecting your sleep. Diet and exercise patterns, for example, might lead Fitbit to make suggestions on how you can change up what you eat when, or when you exercise, yo improve your sleep.
Sleep Stages should work with the new Alta HR, Blaze and Charge 2. Sleep Insights is intended to work with all trackers except the Zip. Both features are now available in the latest update to the Windows 10 app.


This piece on the M. Night Shyamalan movies is the first in a series of articles written by Daniel Dockery.
For years, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was like an oasis in a sea of both Shyamalan movies and the superhero genre. When compared to likes of Shyamalan's good films, like The Sixth Sense and The Visit, it's special. And when compared to the superhero genre, which has come to feel like it encompasses half of all modern films, it's super special. What's more, this analysis of comic book tropes and Bruce Willis bench presses came out in 2000, a full eight years before Marvel decided that it would never leave your local theater as long as Robert Downey Jr. still drew breath.
Rumors of a sequel have always been…around? The idea of an Unbreakable 2 has been out there since Unbreakable was released, but it's never been something that people have seemed that passionate about for any extended period of time. That's mostly due to the fact that, after the vengefully average The Village, Shyamalan's critical reception nosedived, slamming into the ground and then bouncing around the landscape of his wrecked career. The Lady in the Water, The Last Airbender, After Earth. Crash, crash, crash. He became less of a director and more of a Hollywood meme. The "twist" guy. Shyamalama-ding-dong. The dude that would forever have his name attached to The Happening.
Split came out. I had just seen The Visit, which isn't perfect, but it's engaging and fun, two words that I hadn't tied to a Shyamalan film since I was in high school. And Split, while also not perfect, was engaging and fun. It didn't take itself very seriously, it had a delightful cast, and by god, I didn't start to turn on it while watching it. I remember watching The Last Airbender, and getting about thirty minutes in before my body and brain began to actively revolt against the movie. Maybe I could go do anything else, I thought. Maybe I should be doing anything else.
And now, a few months after the release of Split, we've received the news that we're getting a cap to the Unbreakable trilogy. Glass, which features the return of Jackson, Willis, James McAvoy's Kevin Crumb and Anna Taylor-Joy's Casey Cooke, is projected to come out in 2019. And for the first time in a while, I'm legitimately excited about a new Shyamalan film. I dreaded The Visit, was hesitant about Split, but now I get to be downright pumped about Glass. A decade after we wrote off Shyamalan as a guy that had a great first third of his directing career, he once again becomes the most fascinating man in the superhero world.
Let's do this. I think I'm ready.

Understanding Max Weber's Charismatic Leadership
How to revise with a hangover
This is why we love Justin Timberlake..
Eastern Policy
WillHerbert February 26, 2015 CurrentNewsPolitics

Perhaps it is time to return to university campuses and rally against the 'unnatural division' of the continent. It's worth it for us, Europeans, to revisit about the politics of the late 1960s. Would Willy Brandt or Walter Rostow see Europe as moving in the right directions? Would today's Russia appear still a 'historical anachronism'?
Governments in the West do not think so deeply of Russia anymore – in the 21st century something close to laissez-faire has been ever-present. Russia is been a source of dependable capital for the banking sectors of the US and UK and a important gas supplier for continental Europe. In his review of Henry Kissinger's World Order, published in the TSL, Niall Ferguson lamented Barrack Obama's 'lack of strategy' towards the Middle East and Russia. Whilst the administration has lacked conviction and been generally sluggish, what Ferguson sees as a want of ideas is more likely the result of a general apathy towards Russia. One imagines US lawmakers thinking, what separates Putin's Russia from the strongman regimes of Saudi Arabia or Jordan? And after all Russia's struggle to diversify and 170 million population makes its economy far less threatening than China's; it is not a pathogen of American decline. But if the war in Ukraine negates this view, Ferguson suggest that "the foreign policy of the 1980s might, for one thing, offer more effective ways of dealing with Vladimir Putin". It is important to recognise that Ferguson writes "more effective ways" and probably is not suggesting a strategic arms build-up in the Baltic.
So it is an interesting thought. Firstly because we are entering a period of strength, the Rouble is very weak, though Russia is not using it to supplement the economies of seven other countries, it does not have a command economy that is difficult to adjust nor is Russia fighting a war in Afghanistan. The United States cannot negotiate with the same advantages with which it did so 1980s. Moreover Russia is not being led by a man 'with whom we can do business', or more importantly has show his unwillingness to do business when faced with aggression – Vladimir Putin's rise to power shares more comparisons with Leonid Brezhnev's than it does with Mikhail Gorbachev's. Ferguson is referring, perhaps, to the combative rhetoric of Reagan and his strong stance in the Third World particularly though Reagan is not the subject of his article. Overall it would be encouraging if we had leaders who could see beyond the present situation.
Yet must international relations towards Russia come in two such unimaginative forms: either a nostalgic return to the 'Evil Empire' or an arms-length faux Containment? Both are obsolete in a globalised and interdependent world. The identity crisis of EU countries has caused more and more leaders to speaks as if we are are living in well-defined nation-states. But we do not live in well-defined autonomous nation-states. This began to change in the 1970s and now we are entering what Jeremy Rifkin describes as The Empathetic Civilisation, where the same information technology that has modernised our economies is modernising our way of thinking. Never have the thoughts, feelings and culture of others been so accessible. Leaders cannot ignore this: they must see its potential.
2014 is the UK-Russia Year of Culture, a project responsible for the screening of Pride and Mr. Turner in Russia and the Bolshoi Ballet via NT Live over here. We do not have to alter any sanctions or stances on Russia to encourage the cultural exchange between our countries. These events must become the forerunner for a détente in our rhetoric at least, if this doesn't translate into ceasefires.
This is truer to the logic of Containment – it was the logic of Ostpolitik – the belief that democracy and civil liberties are the natural order, that they are infectious, more so today than ever. Daniel Sargent noted how 'awestruck' people behind the Iron Curtin were with shows like Dallas, shows of plenty. Of course this was much more damaging to the Communist system that promised plenty and could no longer pretend it hadn't failed. Now one would have to encourage social liberalism, collaboration between Russian and foreign artists of the highest level, or at least sharing of BuzzFeed articles. For example, one could imagine the affect that a film like Pride might have.
Although counter-culture in Russia has long been championed by students and their teachers and it is a much stronger counter-culture than too many believe. Only three months after its publication in the USA, thousands of copies of Karin Bawisha's Putin's Kleptocracy: Who owns Russia? have appeared in the country. Masha Gessen rightly points out that the political alternative to United Russia is still 'very small' yet says "when their was dissent, when there was protest in Russia in 2011/2012, those where taking place in 99% of Russian cities and towns". She continues "so that is as broad based a culture as Russia has ever seen… there are so many media tropes that have nothing to do with reality – one is 'O that is urban protest!', well of course it's urban protest, Russia is an urban country!".
The latter is very important. When trying to keep an open mind, when trying to understand Putin's Russia, many of a Post-Revisionist sensibility mistake the Kremlin's spin on events for informed opinion, or even fact.
Putin's decision to stand up for Russian in the Crimea and in Ukraine is in discontinuity with the last 11 years of United Russia control. It is only recently that these of Russian decent have been given the same attention and the same de facto protection as Russian nationals. Vladimir Putin, like Slobodan Milosevic, once gained his power from Communist ideology (or ommunist nostalgia) before finding it in Nationalism. He is a politician and the West has been compliant in propping up his image recently. Christopher Read, of the University of Warwick, argues "Kiev [the Kiev revolutionaries and political clique] thought it was promised the EU's assistance, should they over-through Yanakovych". The EU's wooing of Eastern Europe is a symptom of the Post-'91 feeling that the market should expand at all costs – this was somewhat logical at the time, the EU has undoubtedly improved the lives of its Eastern citizens. But in Russia this looked like a big push in a war of attrition and we risk making a Tsar on the other side.
Conversely, whilst Putin draws strength from this, it gives us the ability to undercut him if we prove not to be the monster he is building us up to be. We will ease of sanctions if the UN are allowed into Ukraine? How do we get the money flowing back into Ukraine? Whatever happens next Putin may have to be given a victory domestically; the West shouldn't worry about this, he'll most likely stay in power for another four years.
Overall one should wonder whether or not a less divided Europe would be worth the détente; I would argue it's a greater historical anachronism than a Russian kleptocracy.

We're turning 3! A good Toddler age.
community every week, showing us the beauty of the skies over your heads.
I thought on it for days and finally decided on the sky. I was hoping this would be a way for bloggers to interact and share through their pictures and comments. I couldn't think of what to name the meme so I asked a friend and she said "Sky Watch".
I asked her if she thought anyone would participate and she said she would but she didn't know about any one else. I visited and commented on every blog that participated in Sky Watch.
Since I had to go visit family in another state frequently and I asked Tom Wiggers if he 'd like to do Sky Watch while I was gone. He did and seemed to enjoy it so much that I felt bad about asking for it back. so I let him have it. I don't think I could have kept up with it on my own as the visitors were increasing each week. I'm glad that the Sky Watch Team has kept the meme going.
he handed it over to Klaus.
and the Skywatch Meme was born.
Skywatch what it is today, averaging 300 -400 participants every week.
Here's the 1st image after officially taking over from Tom.

Hear The Alternate Version Of Pink Floyd's Iconic "Wish You Were Here"
Michael Ochs Archives / Getty Images
How I Wish, How I Wish You Were Here…
The mark of a successful band is their ability to surprise, delight, and knock the wind out of you decades long after you first heard them. Pink Floyd fits that bill perfectly; 'Wish You Were Here' was absolutely beautiful on its own, but when the band released the alternate version of the song, it felt like we were hearing it for the first time all over again.
'Wish You Were Here's lyrics encompass Roger Waters' feelings of alienation from other people. Like most of the album, it refers to former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett and his breakdown.
David Gilmour Talks Absence, Syd Barrett and Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here is one of the greatest albums ever written and it's mindblowing that when it was written, the band was clueless as to how to actually write it. According to David Gilmour, the band was 'clueless' – messing around and not having any real direction in mind for the album. It wasn't until 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' was in the works that the album took a conceptual direction – absence.
A Eulogy For Syd Barrett
The 1975 album Wish You Were Here is a reference to Syd Barrett, whose increasing mental issues forced his departure from the band. After his strange appearance during the recording of the album, no one saw him until his death in 2006.

Gilmour has a fantastic way of explaining the complexities and intricacies of Pink Floyd's most iconic albums in a way that makes it both pleasing to listen to and easy to understand; it's one thing to hear a music critic attempt to break an iconic album of Wish You Were Here's caliber to its very core, but another thing entirely to have it explained by someone who had a hand in writing it.
The alternate version features a violin accompanying the band, and there's something about it accompanying a song like 'Wish You Were Here' that hits you right in the gut. Add in the fact that the video itself features footage of Pink Floyd as young men having a good time together before the rift that would separate them, and you have an emotionally charged experience with Pink Floyd!


Method or methodology, what's the difference?
❶Or better still their similarities?
Ethnographic methods originate from the social sciences, particularly anthropology, and are about immersing yourself in a particular setting usually in business research a company or other organization and "hanging out" there to obtain a rich and detailed description.
These pages deal with a very common research technique: In the main, they concentrate on the interview as a qualitative technique, although personal interviews are also used as a quantitative survey method. They look first at the general features of the interview, then at different types of interview, then at how to stage the interview and frame the questions, and finally and briefly at how to analyse, code and present the responses.
In this feature, we describe one of the key techniques of qualitative and ethnographic research: We shall here use the former term also to describe the latter, and will look at its main features, at the key tasks of the facilitator, at how to recruit for and organize a focus group, and finally where to go for further information.
Action research has been around for some time and is now an increasingly popular research approach. This article defines and situates it, then looks at how to design a good action research project, how to ensure its validity, and the best vehicles of dissemination. Finally, it looks at some useful sites on action research. Qualitative research techniques are becoming more and more important in management and social science research.
Careful analysis can ensure the research has a depth not always present in quantitative research, while retaining rigour and validity. This guide covers how the process differs from that for quantitative data, principles of data collection, coding, theory building, use of CAQDAS software, and finally at some of the main techniques and methods used for qualitative analysis, from grounded theory to hermeneutics.
A survey is a structured method for gathering data from a large number of respondents. It is used as a social science research method, by businesses determining the likely success of products, and by pollsters considering the impact of a particular policy or the likely outcome of an election.
In these pages we are specifically concerned with the use of surveys as a tool for scholarly research in management-related disciplines, or for those who may use surveys in their business consulting work. We will also be focusing specifically on the design of the survey as a research enterprise. Generalization is to which extent the research and the conclusions of the research apply to the real world. It is not always so that good research will reflect the real world, since we can only measure a small portion of the population at a time.
Research methodology lacking reliability cannot be trusted. Replication studies are a way to test reliability. Both validity and reliability are important aspects of the research methodology to get better explanations of the world. Logically, there are two types of errors when drawing conclusions in research:. Type 1 error is when we accept the research hypothesis when the null hypothesis is in fact correct.
Type 2 error is when we reject the research hypothesis even if the null hypothesis is wrong. Check out our quiz-page with tests about:. Oskar Blakstad Mar 10, Retrieved Sep 14, from Explorable.

Observation is heavily used in social sciences, behavioral studies and anthropology, as a way of studying a group without affecting their behavior. Whilst the experiment cannot be replicated or falsified , it still offers unique insights, and will advance human knowledge.
Case studies are often used as a pre-cursor to more rigorous methods, and avoid the problem of the experiment environment affecting the behavior of an organism. Observational research methods are useful when ethics are a problem. In an ideal world, experimental research methods would be used for every type of research, fulfilling all of the requirements of falsifiability and generalization.
research methodology and research methods are twin's concepts that cannot be seperated in research circles. Can you disscuss .
