Sampson's torture suit bid denied
Britain's highest court ruled Wednesday that Canadian William Sampson and three other men cannot sue their alleged Saudi Arabian torturers.
CBC News · Posted: Jun 14, 2006 6:52 AM ET | Last Updated: June 14, 2006
Canadian William Sampson cannot sue the people he says tortured him while he was in a Saudi jail, Britain's highest court ruled on Wednesday.
The ruling by the Law Lords also applied to Ron Jones, Sandy Mitchell and Les Walker, all from Britain.
The Saudi government argued that Britain's Court of Appeal was wrong when itagreed withthe men that their alleged torturers should not be protected under England's State Immunity Act.
In 2004, the Court of Appeal ruled the men could sue those individuals, but not the Saudi government.
Sampson told reporters afterward thathe was not surprisedby the decision, but lashed out at the Belgian, British and Canadian governments.
"They have behaved with complete and utter moral and ethical hypocrisy from the start," Sampson said. "They have allowed their citizens to be tortured, they have prevented their citizens from seeking redress or any form of justice, and they continue to do so.
"They're more concerned with holding cocktail parties with torturers than they are in seeing that justice is done for their own citizens."
'Done absolutely nothing'
Sampson told CBC News that as a signatory of the UN Convention Against Torture, Britain has an obligation to seek redress on those who claim they have been tortured, regardless that it occurred in Saudi Arabia.
"They have that right to do that," he said. "They have that right to pursue such a criminal case.
"Have they done anything? No. They've done absolutely nothing."
Sampsonsaidthemenwould take their claim to the European Court of Justice.
He called that final avenue of appeal a "good hope," pointing to the case of Sulaiman Al-Adsani, a man with British and Kuwaiti citizenship who alleged he had been tortured while detained in Kuwait in 1991.
The European Court ruled in favour of the Kuwaiti government in 2001, but by a narrow 9-8 majority.
"We believe the judicial planet has changed in Europe because since that time, a number of European countries have pushed back the boundaries of state immunity and enacted laws which actually allow their citizens to pursue redress," he said.
Sampson, who had been working in Saudi Arabia as a consultant, was one of three men who appeared onSaudi television in 2001 confessing to a series of car bombings in Riyadh several months earlier that killed two people and injured several others.
He says he was tortured into making the confession.
After serving more than two years in prison, Sampsonwas among seven foreigners held prisoner in Saudi Arabia who were granted amnesty and freed in 2003.

L'Avro 523 Pike est un multiplace de combat britannique de la Première Guerre mondiale. S'il ne fut pas produit en série, il fut tout à la fois le premier bimoteur construit par Avro, le premier avion entièrement dessiné par Roy Chadwick et le premier avion du constructeur de Manchester à avoir un nom.

Origine
C'est en 1915 que Roy Chadwick, tout juste 22 ans, entreprit de dessiner pour le Royal Naval Air Service un chasseur lourd triplace destiné à la chasse aux Zeppelins, l'appareil devant pouvoir également être utilisé comme chasseur d'escorte, avion de grande reconnaissance ou bombardier léger. L'appareil se présentait donc comme un gros biplan à ailes égales non décalées, construit en bois et toile, reposant sur un train classique sans essieu. Le pilote était installé au niveau du bord d'attaque de la voilure, tandis que deux mitrailleurs prenaient place à l'avant du fuselage et en arrière des ailes, disposant chacun d'une mitrailleuse Lewis de  sur pivot.

Deux versions

Avro 523 Pike
Équipé de deux moteurs en ligne 8 cylindres Sunbeam de 160 ch suspendus dans l'entreplan, entraînant des hélices bipales  propulsives, le prototype [N523] effectua son premier vol en mai 1916. Il affichait des performances intéressantes, mais fut rejeté par le RNAS pour une raison inconnue.

Avro 523A Pike
Deux autres prototypes [A316 et A317] furent mis en chantier pour le Royal Flying Corps avec des moteurs 6 cylindres Green de 150 ch entraînant cette fois des hélices tractives. Le mitrailleur avant voyait également son poste équipé d'un affût Scarff à la place du pivot. Le premier exemplaire prit l'air en août 1916 et fut testé à son tour par le RFC comme par le RNAS  en novembre suivant. Mais le concept fut alors jugé dépassé, aucune commande ne suivit et le dernier prototype resta inachevé.

Les deux avions furent alors transférés à Hamble, au tout nouveau centre d'essais Avro, et utilisés pour des essais divers.

The 'Purple Army' rallies because #WagesMatter
Hundreds of public servants rallied outside Queensland's parliament on October 30 as part of a week-long industrial campaign. The rally was organised by Together Union (a branch of the Australian Services Union), also known as the "Purple Army".
The workers are facing enterprise bargaining negotiations in which the state government is refusing to offer any pay rise. The government argues that since workers have had a wage rise due to a rise in the award, they do not need to offer any rise in the enterprise agreement. The agreement will last for the next three years.

ABC crisis shows we need a genuinely independent and democratised public broadcaster
The recent crisis at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, with the sacking of managing director Michelle Guthrie and the resignation of board chair Justin Milne, is best understood by realising that neither were friends of the national public broadcaster, writes Alex Bainbridge.
Sinking in the polls, the Coalition drifts further right
The federal Coalition government has dropped further in the polls following the knifing of former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull. Nevertheless, both new Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the hard right Peter Dutton/Tony Abbott faction in the Liberal Party seem determined to take politics even more to the right.

It's time to abolish Border Force
The Australian Border Force is an authoritarian and undemocratic body that does not serve the interests of ordinary people in Australia. It should be abolished.
Five years since the reopening of the refugee torture centres on Manus Island and Nauru, the results are clear. Refugees have suffered cruel and unusual punishment which has: not saved lives at sea, not "stopped the boats" and not benefited ordinary Australians.
Green Left Weekly has been an invaluable source of serious left-wing journalism in this region for many years. I have come to rely on GLW for news from Australia and Asia in particular.

Q: Script to change webpage header based on domain name Is there an easy way to swap a file url based on domain name?
I've acme.com & acme.co.uk site domains which require different header graphic but are  otherwise identical content. Rather than managing two sets of files and CMS, is there a JS/php script or other method to change the header graphic url dynamically based on which domin name is accessed? Site is basic XHTML & CSS.

A: With PHP
Use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to get your domain and then do a switch-statement to change the image-variable.
<?php
switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
    case 'acme.com':
    case 'www.acme.com':
        $image = "acmecom.jpg"
    break;
    case 'acme.co.uk':
    case 'www.acme.co.uk':
        $image = "acmecouk.jpg"
    break;
    default:
        $image = "default.jpg"
    break;
}
?>

If your using www before acme.com you have to change the address from "acme.com" accordingly to "www.acme.com". Same for .co.uk.
In your header-image you then echo the path to the image like this:
<img src="path/to/folder<?php echo $image;?>" alt="header-image" />

A: Because I can't stand Tim's coding style...
<?
$host = preg_replace('~^www\.~','',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$headerpic = basename($host).".jpg";
if (!is_readable($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])."/images/header/".$filename) {
  $headerpic = "default.jpg"
}
?>
<img src="/images/header/<?=$headerpic?>">

A: You should be able to do this with PHP by using if statement.
http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php $_SERVER variable would come in handy here.
And then, you just have to print/return you desired image path.
I can give you a full example too, but try for yourself, it's well worth it.

"If you are new to working on the road, you'll find you are qualified for more jobs than you think"
Bill and I were 47 when we hit the road full-time in our RV. We had taken a trip and discovered people lived full-time in their RVs and that you could get jobs while traveling. In fact, there was a publication called Workamper News just for RVers looking for work. Wow!
In 1992, we sold everything, bought a used '89 Pace Arrow and began traveling. We not only supported ourselves, but we put money in savings each year. And we had a heck of a good time. In fact, working or volunteering is an excellent way to spend time in an area and get to know it as well as support your RV lifestyle. If you are not at retirement age, it can be a way to start full-time RVing before you retire.
If you are new to working on the road, you'll find you are qualified for more jobs than you think. Your life experience, work ethic, ability to get along with people and common sense are valuable. Employers are looking for good workers; they can train you on the rest.
Follow these six steps to find a position you enjoy and that meets your needs.
1. First identify your goals, then your skills and abilities.
What do you want to do? How much do you want or need to make? What can you do? Think about what skills the jobs you might want require, then list those you have. For example, jobs working in RV parks requires people skills, computer skills, handling complaints, maintenance, directing activities, making reservations.
2. Apply to many jobs.
You increase your chances by applying to at least 20 jobs. If you pin all your hopes to one job and it doesn't come through, then you have to start over. Even if you think you are going back to the same job, apply to others. That way, if it falls through, you'll have some jobs in the works. You also learn something each time you talk to an employer.
3. Persistence and follow up are key.
Don't be unhappy that an employer doesn't acknowledge your résumé, see it your follow up contact as an opportunity to find out more about the job process and sell yourself. Checking back periodically without being a pest makes you a more familiar person and your résumé rises to the top. And don't forget to send a written thank you after your interview.
Often RV workers have told me they "had a feeling" about something but ignored it and went anyway. Sure enough, the situation wasn't as they had hoped. If your intuition is telling you something, listen.
Even if you are a believer in handshakes, by spelling out each point and writing it down, it makes sure you have a realistic picture of what the work situation is like. It also makes the owner think about how he will use you and whether or not he can accommodate your needs. If you have a signed agreement and things change, you have that to show that the owner promised something else. Often that is enough to correct the problem.
After you have the job, keep in touch periodically. You'll get to know the owner better. Something may come up or you may hear something that concerns you. Better to get it straightened out before heading to the job. Check in again before you start driving to your new location. Make sure nothing has changed. If it has, see if you can work something out. If not, you save your time and money driving there.
Full-time RVing is a wonderful lifestyle. Full-timing can be less expensive than living in a stick house. When you work or volunteer as you travel, you reduce your expenses even further plus you can bring in money too.

May rework seat-sharing formula for Assembly elections due in October
Naveen S Garewal
The BJP has decided to keep its alliance with the Kuldeep Bishnoi-led HJC irrespective of the outcome of the 10 parliamentary seats in the state. Though the BJP has indicated that even as it honoured its commitment of seat sharing in the parliamentary poll in the 8: 2 ratio, it may re-negotiate the seat sharing in the Assembly poll. As of now, the formula is to contest 45 seats each in a 90-member House.
Haryana BJP President Ram Bilas Sharma has clarified to the media that the BJP was not going to change its alliance partner. "We will hold a meeting after the LS results are out on May 16 and work out the modalities for the seats to be contested by the BJP and the HJC in the Vidhan Sabha elections due in October this year". He, however, hinted that there could be some adjustment on the number of seats each party would contest based on certain factors such as winnability.
Out of the 10 parliamentary seats in Haryana, the BJP has contested eight while the Sirsa and Hisar seats were contested by the HJC with the support of the BJP. Bishnoi, son of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhajan Lal, is locked in a fierce electoral battle against INLD candidate and former Chief minister Om Parkash Chautala's grandson, Dushyant Chautala. So far the BJP that did not expect to do as well as it is projected now did not mind Bishnoi being projected as the non-Jat alternative to head a government in Haryana.
There are rumours that the HJC-BJP is entering into an agreement where the two parties if voted to power would share power in which Bishnoi would be the Chief Minister for the first two-and-a-half years. Senior BJP leaders, however, say no such agreement has been arrived at yet. Hoping for good results for the BJP on account of the Modi wave, Haryana BJP leaders feel they would be in a better position to bargain for more seats from the HJC.
Meanwhile, politics in Haryana is getting aggressive in anticipation of an early elections in case the Congress fails miserably in the LS results. The Congress in the current Lok Sabha has nine of the 10 seats while one seat (Hisar) is with Bishnoi.
Former Haryana Minster of State for Home Gopal Kanda (currently on bail in the Geetika suicide case ) has floated the Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP) with a view to contesting the Assembly poll .
Former Union Minister Venod Sharma too has floated a political outfit called the Haryana Loksewa Panchayat (HLP). He has in the past indicated his intention of providing a non-Jat forum in terms of a political alternative in the state. He is expected to turn this outfit into a political party closer to elections or may even join hands with any other political partly like Kanda's HLP to contest the poll against the Congress. Sharma has indicated his desire to join hands with the BJP and said he "wants to see Modi as the Prime Minister".

Several organisations from Ratia in Fatehabad have decided to launch a renewed agitation against the reported indifference of the authorities to pollution of the Ghaggar flowing near the town.
The Jat Samaj Sabha, which is leading the drive against the pollution of the Ghaggar, has started mobilising support from other social organisations of the town for the purpose.
Balbir Bara, president of the sabha, Kulwant Brar, its vice-president, and Naib Singh Mandher, general secretary, told mediapersons after a meeting that the association would contact sarpanches of villages affected by the pollution.
Dariya Singh, sarpanch of Bharpoor, Jarnail Singh from Malwala and Kuldeep Singh from Chimmo, who were present in the meeting, alleged that residents of all villages falling along the Ghaggar were fed up with the stink in the air and the pollution of subsoil water.
The members said action committees for launching the agitation would be constituted in all villages of the area by May 20. Pollution in the Ghaggar had been the bane of Ratia residents for long. The authorities had not been taking any step to improve the conditions, saying it was an issue concerning three states.
In March this year, over 7,000 voters residing in wards located near the Ghaggar had announced that they would neither cast their votes, nor allow any political leader or election official to come to their wards, till the authorities accepted their long-standing demand of checking pollution in the seasonal river.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh Youth Federation, which spearheaded the campaign, alleged that the highly polluted water containing industrial waste passed through the stretch of Ghaggar near their houses.
They alleged that they were unable to eat and sleep due to the stench in the area. The residents had ended their boycott and participated in the elections after parties assured them of a solution after the elections.

Sources said the Health Department took 208 samples from various sources in the district last month, 201 of which failed the test. The test focused on chlorination and did not cover brackishness and fluoride content. Samples taken from 120 tube wells in Panhera Khurd were found to be unfit for human consumption.
Samples were taken from tube wells in Palla, Ballabgarh and Kheri Kalan, where the quality of water was poor mainly due to high fluoride content. As many as 163 of the 165 samples of potable water taken from various areas of the town were found to be unfit for human consumption in February.
The authorities seemed helpless even though there was acute shortage of water in the town due to delay of the Ranneywell project, said Satish Kumar, a local resident. The municipal corporation did not have the right to impose water charges due to the failure to supply clean drinking water, said KL Gera, a social activist.
When contacted, the Deputy CMO said the failure of a large number of water samples was an issue of concern. He said the number of samples taken each month could vary and the water sample failure rate was 80 per cent in over a year. He said the information was given to the Public Health Department and the municipal corporation.
The quality of drinking water in the town seems to have hit a new low. There are reports of some reverse osmosis (RO) water filter manufacturers withdrawing the facility of warranty to consumers. The warranty condition is reported to have been made ineligible in localities where total dissoluble solvents (TDS) has crossed permissible limits.
"I approached a showroom selling RO equipment here recently. I was shocked that the dealer put the condition that one-year warranty would be given only if the TDS was below 2,500 as the company had instructed them not to pass on the warranty to residents of areas where the water quality was very poor," said Pradeep Kumar of Sector 8. He added that the RO installed at his residence a few years back had was out of order due to high salinity in the piped water supplied by the municipal corporation.
RK Gupta of Sector 10 claimed that the drinking water supplied from the nearest tube well was not only brackish, but had a high level of fluoride as well, forcing his family to switch to bottled supply of water from private companies. He said almost all households in some blocks had either been dependent on RO water or bottled water as tap water was unfit for human consumption.
The heavy fluoride content in the water was an issue of concern, said Ravi, a shopkeeper at Sector 7. He said it damaged all items it came in contact with, including taps and pipes. He said the promise of clean and potable water had not been kept for several years.
"Households in many sectors spend between Rs 2,000 and Rs 4,000 on bottled water each month due to the poor quality of water," said Yogesh Sharma, a local lawyer. The TDS in water supplied from tube wells in a majority of sectors was higher and this was perhaps the reason RO equipment manufacturers had withdrawn warranty for new machines, he added.
The ambitious Ranneywell water project, costing Rs 493 crore, is running behind schedule. It is not expected to bring any relief due to the delay in completion. The average demand of water in the town is around 350 million litres a day.
Sonepat DC forms committee to check water pollution near Bari industrial zone

The committee was constituted after discussions were held with the sarpanches of Lalheri and Rajlu Garhi villages, representatives of Bari industrial association and officials of the administration and those of the Haryana Pollution Control Board in a meeting at the DC's office on May 6 evening.
In the meeting, the sarpanches alleged that the dyeing units here were releasing chemically contaminated water in the open area as well as in the sub soil zone and it had resulted in polluted water, pumped out by the hand pumps and submersibles.
The DC asked the committee members to test samples of water in the government as well as private laboratories.
All the units must be inspected to ensure that untreated water was neither released in the open nor in the sub soil zone by the units. Strict action should be taken against any unit found violating the pollution norms, he said.
Srow urged the villagers to use the water being supplied by water services and sanitation department and assured them that the supply of water would also be increased.
Time to abolish interview regime in selection for government jobs, says former minister
Sunit Dhawan
Sharma was here to open the office of his new outfit, the Haryana Loksewa Panchayat, and one side of the national highway was blocked with impunity to facilitate his address to the gathering. The administration was either not available for comment or pleaded ignorance about the matter.
Sharma stated in his speech that it was time to abolish the interview regime in selection for government jobs. "What is the need of conducting interviews if the aspirants are to be selected on merit?" he asked. Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda's old aide launched a scathing attack on the Hooda-led state government.
The former Congress leader, who was forced to resign as Haryana Power Minister following the conviction and imprisonment of his son Manu Sharma in the Jessica Lal murder case, said his organisation would launch a struggle against the interview system.
He questioned the intention of the Hooda regime behind selecting candidates for government service on the basis of interview. He affirmed that his association with Hooda was quite old and they were still friends even though he had chosen a different role for himself due to the prevailing situation in the state.
Talking to mediapersons, the former minister said he would decide on forming a political party after consultation with members of his core committee. In response to a query, he said he was not in the race for becoming the Chief Minister.
Will take stock of position, decide strategy for Assembly elections
Geetanjali Gayatri
Sources say the main idea for calling the meeting is to constitute booth-level committees. This issue has been hanging fire for long and insiders believe that the party has lost a lot of ground since the Congress government was re-elected in the 2009 Assembly elections.
Holding that the cadre strength has gradually eroded over the last nine years since the Congress first came to power in 2005, sources say building up the party and readying it for Assembly elections is a challenge for the party. Appointing block-level agents for the party is on the agenda as well.
The sources claim that the issue of anti-party activity will be taken up. A number of candidates fielded by the Congress are learnt to be unhappy with the campaigning by local leaders during the elections.
Though some of them have conveyed their displeasure about the lack of cooperation from Congress leaders to the high command in private, no complaint has been received by the party office against any senior leader.
Soon after the state went to the polls and allegations of anti-party activity began flying thick and fast, the party leadership invited complaints from aggrieved candidates. While a few complaints were received, a majority of those dealt with anti-party activity at the level of workers.
The party leadership at the Centre intends to shortly set up a complaint cell to deal with any kind of complaints of anti-party activity to rebuild the faith of the party cadre in the system.

The Jind police have assigned all investigations of the Dhanauri village sexual assault victim's suicide case to an inspector, posted as SHO of Garhi police station. The step has raised questions about the seriousness of police in dealing with the case as many believe that they cannot expect fair investigation from a same-rank officer.
Though police personnel claim that there is nothing wrong in it as it is being done under the supervision of the DSP of Narwana, sources say since the same rank investigation officer may twist facts by keeping the supervisory authority in dark, there are chances of denial of justice to the deceased woman.
Some legal experts wondered how senior police authorities of Jind could claim that the investigation was going on in a transparent manner when they had appointed an inspector to probe the role of other inspectors posted in CIA and CID in the case.
"Had the senior authorities of Jind been serious to probe the allegations of the victim and provide her justice, they would have appointed senior officers to probe the case," said a legal expert.
Though fearing unnecessary harassment no villager of Dhanauri is willing to speak openly, some farmers, on the condition of anonymity, said a brother of the victim had left his home on Friday as the policemen were allegedly threatening them to compromise with their booked colleagues.
"What has terrorised us the most is the fact that no senior authority, either from the police or the government, has bothered to take any action against the cops who are working as per their own wishes," alleged a middle-aged farmer.
Puran Chand, Narwana DSP, confirmed that Somvir Dhaka, Garhi SHO, an inspector rank officer, has been conducting all investigations under his supervision.
When contacted, Balwan Rana, Jind SP, said five inquiries had been conducted in the case by various senior officers of the state, but in all inquiries the deceased woman failed to prove her allegations and the accused got a clean chit.
"The whole village was against the deceased lady, who had got many cases registered against the other residents of Dhanauri village. However, investigations into the suicide are going on in a transparent manner and no one would be spared," said the SP.
Jind: Hundreds of residents of Dhanauri village protested in front of Garhi police station today and demanded the release of two men of the village who have been arrested after the alleged sexual assault victim committed suicide by consuming poison two days ago. "Cops are not working as per law and are trying to save their colleagues booked in the same case. We request the government to order a CBI inquiry to probe the role of all accused," demanded a woman protesting in front of the police station. Villagers also raised anti-police slogans and tried to block the road.After the 'harassed' woman committed suicide, the police registered an abetment to suicide case against 11 persons, including five inspectors, three serving and two retired, one head constable and five other residents of Dhanauri and other villages. But the protesters alleged that the police had arrested Ramesh and Suresh and had not taken any action against the accused policemen."Both are innocents as the deceased women could not prove her allegations despite repeated inquiries by various senior police officers. We demand a CBI probe as we suspect that the suicide note was tampered," alleged another villager. Villagers also alleged that since the deceased woman was illiterate and used to give thumb impression, she could not have written a suicide note. When contacted, Puran Chand, DSP Narwana, said he had pacified the villagers who wanted to get the accused freed and demanded CBI probe in the case.
Kurukshetra: The police arrested a man for allegedly raping his 17-and-a-half-year-old stepdaughter repeatedly for over two years at his house in Ladwa.
The victim's mother lodged a complaint at Ladwa police station last night, alleging that her husband, Rajender Singh, had been raping her daughter repeatedly for over two years.
The police arrested Rajender from his house last night.
The accused was produced before a local court.
Sources in the Health Department said during a recent visit, a team from the state headquarters directed the health authorities in the district to stop holding blood donation camps in Ratia as a disturbingly higher percentage of blood units collected were found infected with hepatitis C and B.
Confirming this, Civil Surgeon Dr Suraj Bhan Kamboj said the instances of hepatitis C being reported from Ratia were more than what the Health Department routinely witnessed in other areas and the holding of blood donation camps had been temporarily stopped in the area.
Survey teams of the PGIMS, Rohtak, which visited Ratia in March 2012 took blood samples of 7,469 suspected cases and during the rapid tests, as many as 1,848 were found positive for hepatitis C.
Rapid test being lesser trustworthy, the samples of those found positive were sent to the PGIMS for the enzyme-linked immune sorbant assay test, considered a confirmatory test for the infection. This test had confirmed that 1,584 patients were infected with hepatitis C.
A spokesman said government agencies had procured 63.02 lakh MT of wheat whereas 2,229 MT had been purchased by traders.
Hafed had purchased the highest 24.29 lakh MT, followed by 17.52 lakh MT by the Food and Supplies Department. Agro Industries Corporation had purchased 5.59 lakh MT, Haryana Warehousing Corporation 6.19 lakh MT, Confed 1.56 lakh MT and the Food Corporation of India 7.84 lakh MT.
Sirsa district was leading in the wheat arrivals with 8.14 lakh MT, followed by Karnal with 6.41 lakh MT, Fatehabad 5.98 lakh MT, Jind 5.45 lakh MT, Kaithal 5.59 lakh MT and Kurukshetra 4.54 lakh MT.
As many as 70 Dalit families were displaced from Bhagana two years ago when Jats in the village decided to boycott the community. Since then, they have been staying outside Hisar's mini secretariat to seek justice.
"Despite the boycott by Jats in the village, the Dhanak community decided to stay back. On March 23, four Dalit girls belonging to the Dhanak community were abducted and gangraped for two days by Jat boys. This is the result of not leaving the village," said Rajini Tilak, member of an organisation called Sexual Violence and State Repression.
The protesters were stopped by the Delhi Police outside Hooda's official residence on Pant Marg, Central Delhi.
While five of the accused have been arrested, the protesters, who had been on dharna at Jantar Mantar since April 16, claimed that neither the state nor the Centre had worked to end the continuous violence and social boycott of Dalits for the last two years.
Besides strict punishment to the accused, the families of the victims are demanding high-level judicial inquiry into the incident, fast-track courts in Delhi for the case, Rs 1 crore compensation to all rape victims, free education and government jobs for them. According to the Dalit protesters, the influential and land-owning Jat in their area had made their existence impossible. "We want the government to rehabilitate us. They (Jats) are harassing us and not letting us live peacefully. Our children have stopped going to school from the fear of obscene remarks. They also do not let us work," said Virendra Bagoria, another leader protesting at the site.
The Tribune noticed harvested fields set on fire at several places on the Sirsa-Fatehabad portion of the National Highway-10 as well as on the Kulan-Jakhal road in Fatehabad.
Stubble burning is not only injurious to human health due to environmental hazards, the process is also harmful for farmers as several friendly pests that save crops from harmful pests, get burnt in the fire.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had directed the state government to take immediate steps to stop burning of wheat/paddy stubble in the fields.
Recently, Sirsa Deputy Commissioner Anshaj Singh and Fatehabad Deputy Commissioner DK Behra had issued prohibitory orders banning burning of wheat stubble on the fields.
However, the Agriculture Department or the Pollution Control Department, who are supposed to take action against erring farmers do not seem to be perturbed over the violation.
"Basically, this is the duty of the Pollution Control Department to check this menace. On our part, we launched an awareness campaign a fortnight ago when we informed the farmers about the ill-effects of straw burning on their fields and on the environment," said Wazir Singh, Deputy Director (Agriculture), Sirsa.
He said the department had not received any specific complaint in this regard so far though in some cases, wheat stubble had been burnt on the fields accidentally.
Omvir Singh, Junior Engineer in the Pollution Control Department at Hisar, who looks after Sirsa and Fatehabad districts, said he received only one telephonic complaint this year.
However, when he reached at the fire site, he found it was accidental as he saw farmers trying to extinguish the fire.
"In such cases, the biggest problem before us is to collect evidence, as we do not get any proof of deliberate fire when we reach the fields. If we approach the court without enough evidence, our case will fall flat in the court," said Omvir Singh.
Gurjeet Singh Mann, a progressive farmer from Kirpal Patti, however, maintained that normally, the farmers had no other option than burning wheat stubble on fields to prepare it for the next crops.
Terming most of the reasons that the authorities cite against burning of wheat stubble as exaggerated, Mann said, "If some friendly pests are burnt, so are the harmful pests as well as seeds of some harmful weeds."
Mann maintained that the practice of burning stubble was on the decline now, as machines that cut the straw closely are available in the market.
Ishandeep death case
Doctors of private hospitals of Kurukshetra district were on an indefinite strike since Thursday, demanding action against those who threw stones at Dr Bhola Hospital. The Sangharash Samiti had lodged a complaint against the doctors alleging that the latter were putting pressure on the family members of Ishandeep to withdraw their complaint against Dr Suresh Bhola.
Ishandeep had died due to alleged negligence of Dr Suresh Bhola during a leg surgery on April 24.
As per the negotiation, both the complainant parties have taken their complaints back in order to resume the medical facilities of the town, which have been on hold since Thursday due to the stir.
Kanwaljit Singh Ajrana, a samiti member, said, "A meeting was called in the presence of DSP Satish Gautam yesterday where both the parties decided to settle the conflict with mutual consent. However, the prime case of negligence due to which Ishandeep had died is still pending. The further course of action would be decided after the receipt of the viscera report which is likely to come within a month."
Leela Singh, who along with his wife Paramjit Kaur, son Amarjit (3) and daughter Jyoti (2) were taken to the Sirsa General Hospital, alleged that his cousin had an altercation with a landowner of the village some days ago.
The landowner had used firearms during the altercation. He said his family earlier worked on the fields of the landowner, but had now started working for some other farmer. He said the landowner had been holding a grudge against the family ever since then.
Leela Singh, who is a labourer, said he was going to market with his family when the landowner's son tried to run them down.
Roshan Lal, Additional Chief Secretary with the Government of Haryana, was the chief guest on the occasion.
He conferred degrees on the passouts.
Dr Pradeep Sharma, principal of the college, read out the college report and elaborated on the college achievements in various fields.
Sushma Jain, Dean, faculty of sciences anchored the programme.
Taking the initiative, Fight for Justice Club of India's president Harish Arya said, "I want to donate my organs after my death to save precious lives. It will be my little contribution towards humanity."
Participants, including Naresh Setia, Kishan Setia, Ishwar Sardana, Loraj Sardana, Banarsi Lal, Dr LR Choudhary, Rajinder Arya, Mohan Lodhi, Shiv Kumar, Shashi, Usha, Savitri Devi and other have pledged their body for medical research and recipients of organs and appealed to people to come forward for organ donation as a large population of the country will be benefited from it.
The couples were provided utensils, furniture, sewing machines, items of jewellery and other articles of daily use.
The couples were administered oath against foeticide. Prominent persons of the town blessed the newly weds. Gaurav Wadhwa, samiti president, Rajiv Kalra and Raj Kumar Aggarwal performed the kanyadan.
Kamal Pruthi, samiti secretary, said all the arrangements were made by the samiti and the members raised funds from their own sources for the ceremony.
Heera Lal Sardana, Shiv Shanker Pahwa, Vinod Demla, Naveen Mittal, Prince Madan, Anil Ahuja, Parveen Arora and Krishna Gandhi were among those present.
The main branch of the bank at Gohana has displayed the list of 150 defaulters with their photographs and the amount outstanding (approx Rs 44 lakh) towards them at public places.
Two days after displaying of the list, many defaulters deposited their outstanding amount, said RK Verma, bank manager.
He said the bank had displayed the list of those persons who were declared defaulters in 2009. "The bank will not only file cases against them in a court, but also display the defaulters' list at all public places to exert social pressure on them," he said.— OC
Toll samitis announce agitation against govt's move
Ravinder Saini
While the Toll Tax Virodhi Samiti Rewari (TTVSR) will convene a meeting on May 18 to decide the further course of action against the move, the Toll Hatao Sangharsh Samiti Haryana (THSSH) has decided to launch the 'shav yatra' (funeral procession) campaign across the state if the government increases the VAT.
Virender Hooda, chief of the THSSH, said the campaign would be launched from Saanghi village (Rohtak), the native place of Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, so as to expose his 'misdeed' among the people of his stronghold.
"The campaign will be carried out across the state under which 'shav yatra' of the Chief Minister would be taken out besides making the people aware of the 'conspiracy' hatched by the government to put extra financial burden on the common man," said Virender, adding that the date of the launch would be decided by holding a samiti meeting after May 14.
He maintained that increase in VAT would take toll on lakhs of two-wheeler owners who are legally out of preview of the tax. They would have to bear the brunt of the government's decision without any fault. "We will also make concrete efforts to associate two-wheeler owners with our ongoing campaign if the government hikes VAT on petrol," he said.
On the other hand, Rajender Singh, president of the TTVSR, said, "There is no logic behind increasing VAT on petrol to make up for the revenue loss it will incur in case the toll tax is cut. Since the decision will affect the common man to a large extent, we will oppose it."
Sources said nearly 590 cases of transformer thefts had been registered in 2013 and 339 cases this year.
Officials of the UHBVN said in the last two months, 332 transformers had been stolen.
TK Mahajan, Superintending Engineer, UHBVN, said: "Most of the thefts had taken place in the rural areas. The thieves sell copper wires and oil to scrap dealers. We have lodged all theft reports with the police."
Even after welding clamps with the transformers, the miscreants still managed to commit the crime, he added.
"We have alerted our employees and the farmers, but it is not possible to keep an eye on all transformers," said Mahajan and added that the UHBVN was losing nearly Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000 per transformer.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) state president Sewa Singh Arya said: "Farmers are being harassed when they go to get a new transformer. They have to deposit 20 per cent of the total cost with the UHBVN, which is an extra burden on the farmers. The government should not charge for the new transformer." He said nearly 250 farmers were still waiting for their transformers even after depositing the amount. "The farmers will not be able to irrigate their field without transformers as the paddy season is about to start," he said.
A police official said they had arrested 28 members of eight such gangs and recovered stolen wires and other equipment worth Rs 53 lakh last year and this year, they had busted four gangs and recovered stolen wire and other equipment worth ~15 lakh.
"We are keeping an eye on people who were earlier involved in such crimes. We have busted many gangs and recovered stolen transformers," said Superintendent of Police Abhishek Garg.

This clause is the basis of the happy live-in relationship of 32-year-old software engineer Vineet Rana and his HR executive partner Rashika Pillai, who, like many couples, have gone in for a live-in contract. The contract is readymade and easily available across the cyber city like a rent deed.
It mentions financial liabilities of visiting friends and parents to those living together. What has made it popular like never before is the latest no rape clause. "We went ahead with it after the live-in partner of a common friend accused him of rape after she got pregnant," says Vineet. Given that 17 of the 35 cases of rape registered in the last four months and over 40 per cent of the cases registered last year are of live-in relationships that went sour, local couples, especially men, are going in for live-in contract with the no rape clause to avoid being accused of rape on the pretext of marriage.
A software engineer accused her live-in partner of raping her for two-and-a-half years on the pretext of marriage. The accused, also an engineer, was arrested and sent to judicial custody. In another case, the 57-year-old CEO of a tour operating company was arrested on the charge of raping his live-in partner. She accused him of raping her for six years on the pretext of marriage.
A woman moved the police against her live-in partner of three years, an Air Force official, claiming that he had promised to marry her, but did not. The accused was arrested and sent to custody. An Air Force official was booked for rape on the complaint of his live-in partner, a doctor. She accused him of rape when she tried to end the relationship.
"In a majority of cases, the accused and the victim have lived together for more than a year. The common factor is that the victim claims that the accused fooled her into going in for a live-in relationship on the pretext of marriage," says Police Commissioner Alok Mittal.
"The victims are educated professionals who opt for it. It is startling that after being into it for five years, the woman suddenly remembers that the man had promised marriage and she accuses him of rape," says Rahul Sharma, a local divorce lawyer.
"We do not say all complaints are false, but in a majority of cases, rape is alleged when the relationship goes sour or there is a dispute. Though the accused get bail, the law does not come in handy. To avoid such a situation, couples are going in for contract with this clause as a safety measure," he says.
Reports say a departmental inquiry has found that 68 licences for ration depots under the Public Distribution System had been granted in violation of the Haryana Public Distribution System (Control) Order 2009.
Following the report, the department had suspended Hisar inspector Krishan Kumar. The suspension order stated that his headquarters would be Rohtak during the period of his suspension.
District Food and Supplies Commissioner Dr Ghanshyam said the ration depots were granted licences as per the requirement and approval by the Hisar district administration. He denied any wrongdoing in granting the licences.
The victim's brother Inderaj and nephew Om Prakash alleged that the doctors kept waiting for power supply to resume for the X-ray for several hours, instead of providing treatment to the victim.
Sher Singh, a farmer, was injured when a vehicle hit his bullock cart near Makhosarani village of Sirsa yesterday. They alleged that the doctors had turned down their offer to get the X-Ray done from outside.
Later, the doctors told them to shift him to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, in the evening and he died when they were trying to shift him in an ambulance, the y alleged.
When contacted, Deputy Civil Surgeon Dr Bhushan said Sher Singh's relatives met him with their compliant.
"I had called for the victim's file to ascertain whether there was any negligence on the doctors' part. But the file has not yet come to me," he said.
Wanted to implicate brother-in-law in criminal case
The Hisar police had launched a hunt after a cloth merchant got threatening SMSs and calls a few days ago from a mobile number. The police traced down the owner of the mobile number, identified as Rajesh, a resident of Moth village, but he denied making any threatening calls and even denied having the SIM card used in the crime.
During investigation, the police found that Arun had used Rajesh's ID to procure the SIM card from Barwala town and had inserted it in Rajesh's mobile set to make the threatening calls and send SMSs.
The police arrested Arun today who confessed to his crime and revealed the entire conspiracy to get Rajesh framed in the crime to take revenge as the latter had "lured" his sister and married her, despite opposition from his family.
SSP Sibhash Kaviraj said Rajesh, a computer teacher, had an affair with Arun's sister who was his student. Both belonged to the same village but different castes. The duo eloped and got married in February last year even as Arun's family opposed it. Matrimonial relationships within the same village are not acceptable in the rural Haryana society as the boys and girls are considered siblings.
However, Arun's family subsequently accepted the marriage and accorded their consent but Arun was still nursing a grudge and thus hatched a plan to get his brother-in-law implicate in a criminal case.
A 22-year-old girl of Kakheri plot was allegedly strangulated by her father, Jarnail Singh, last night as he "doubted her character".
Mahal Singh, an uncle of the deceased, lodged a complaint with the police that he got information that his niece had suddenly died. When he reached the house of his brother, he noted some marks on the girl's throat.
The girl had passed class XII and her father reportedly suspected that she had an affair with some boy. To save his honour he allegedly strangulated the victim.
Following this complaint, the police took the body in its possession and got an autopsy done at a government hospital here. After the post mortem, the body was handed over to the kin of the deceased. The police have registered a case under the IPC against the father of the deceased girl. However, he is absconding.
The victims have been identified as Des Raj, a student of LLM from Maujkhera village near Ellenabad and Ravi, an MBA final year student and a resident of Sottar Bhattu village of Fatehabad.
Both lived in boys' hostel of the university.
Last night, the two were going towards Laal Batti Chowk on a motorcycle for tea when the accident took place. They died on the spot.
Friends of the deceased alleged that no police party or ambulance arrived for a long time even when they were informed about the accident.
Finally, a police party from the HUDA police post reached the site and shifted the bodies to the Sirsa General Hospital.
Youth killed as train hits him in Rewari
Rewari: A 23-year-old youth was killed and a girl injured seriously when a train hit them on a railway crossing near the railway station today.
The deceased was identified as Sunil Kumar of Badsi village in Bhiwani, a labourer. The injured girl, Pooja, was admitted to the PGIMS in Rohtak, where her condition was stated to be critical.
"The incident took place around 8 am when the Aashram Express was on its way from Delhi to Ahmedabad. The youth was run over by the train when he and the girl were crossing the track," said Pawan Yadav, SHO of the Government Railway Police, Rewari.
Sunil was killed on the spot while Pooja sustained serious injuries on the head. She was rushed to the trauma centre, from where she was referred to the PGIMS in Rohtak due to her condition, he added.
Pankaj and Suraj, both street vendors, had stabbed Ishwar Singh to death on the Railway road on May 5.
The police said the police started investigation into the case after getting CCTV footage, which showed the accused attacking the farmer with knives when he was returning home. They also looted the farmer of Rs 700.
The accused had reportedly left the state the next morning. They, however, returned to Hisar yesterday, convinced that the police would not be able to trace them.
The police said they had also confessed to their involvement in some other crime incidents in the town.
An official spokesman said today that Rs 5 lakh each would be given as compensation in the case of loss of life, permanent total disablement or loss of both major limbs. Compensation amounting to Rs. 2.5 lakh would be given in the case of loss of either limb.
A committee constituted under the chairmanship of the Director, Project, would decide the amount of compensation whereas Zonal Chief Engineer concerned would be the member and the SE/Admn-1 and the XEN concerned would be member-secretaries in the case of head office and field office, respectively. The member-secretaries would prepare the case for compensation and submit it to the committee along with documents.
Say govt has not implemented accepted demands
Stating this, Azad Singh Malik and Satpal Rohila, representatives of the HRKTC, said, "If the Haryana Government fails to implement our 11 demands, we will be left with no option but to restart our agitation at all roadways depots for two hours on May 23."
Malik and Rohila said, "Our main demands include regularising nearly 9,000 contractual employees, mostly drivers, conductors and workshop staff, framing a bonus policy, withdrawing decision of issuing permit to ply private buses, increasing number of government buses to 10,000, constituting separate transport board for recruitments and filling vacant posts without any further delay."
The committee representatives said the state government had accepted their 11 demands in November last year and had assured that these would be implemented within two months, but it failed to do so.
They said, "We again went on strike on January 20. Subsequently, a committee, headed by minister Randeep Surjewala, assured us in writing that their demands would be implemented within a fortnight but not even a single demand is implemented so far."
"Subsequently, another meeting was held with Surjewala on May 6 and he sought three days' time, but to no avail. We are left with no option but to restart our agitation," they said.
"If our demands are not met even after May 23, we will hold a state-level convention in Kurukshetra on June 7 to chalk out the future course of action," they added.

Is it possible for you to add a "kitchen sink" for the custom tab editor?
I'd like for my client to be able to add his custom tabs without knowledge of HTML.
Can you add an option for all products to automatically resize to a set value?
For instance, all thumbnails would automatically set themselves to 150px X 150px (if that's what was inputted) and product images would automatically set themselves to 300px X 300px, etc.
Or is that something WooCommerce would have to implement?
I found a workaround for it that you can see below (added the + symbol so the Shop by Brand appears first alphabetically), however it would be great if it could be implemented so customers can "Shop by Brand" AND "Shop by Category" without having to use the workaround.
Note: Please ignore the text I added in red. I was using this screenshot to address a separate issue. What it would actually look like is instead of "Shop All Products" it would say "Shop by Brand" and a SEPARATE menu could be used for "Shop by Category" below it.
1) We'll take into account your requirement.
2) You can set thumbnails size in Theme Options > Single Product Page > Product Thumbnails Width & Product Thumbnails Height; also you can set size for Product Images on grid/list in Theme Options > Product Page Layout > Product Images Width & Product Images Height.
3) We have already created such widget as 8theme – Brands Filter (Appearance > Widgets).
Can you please take a look? I'm still having a problem?
At the link below, NATREN HEALTHY TRINITY and QUINCY BIOSCIENCE PREVAGEN (thumbnails) are still larger than the parameters that are set.
2) Go to Theme Options > Product Page Layout > set Product Images Height > 209px.
3) Please, update your theme to version 2.0, because your current version does not have this feature.
3. I updated and now have the feature. My client has approximately 50 brands. Is there any way you all could add the option to show it as a drop down menu as you do for the categories widget?
We have taken into account your suggestion and probably it will be implemented in one of our next updates.
Thank you for the suggestion. We'll think it over and try to achieve it in future updates.
an optional support for CDN sources + fallback/checksum check for the most popular components would be a nice extra which I guess pretty much everybody would benefit from.
Will you integrate plugin called UserPro (http://userproplugin.com/) in the future?
Thank you for the suggestion. We'll take it in our account and think it over. Perhaps it'll be implemented in one of our future updates.
i'd like to have a add to wishlist button/link/icon on category view. I did installed it myself, but every upgrade mess my css. I think a small icon on the top left corner should do it. And if you give the choice to use it or not in shop option panel, it can also be amazing.
I've a problem with categories, I need to not to show categories when their are empty (0). English version is running well, but in German categories is showing categories without products in the sidebar. How I can fix it?
Please provide us with the exact link where categories are displayed.
In the sidebar is showing "Strümpfe & Strumpfhosen (0)". I need to hide categories without products. And now,it is not respecting the categories order that I chose.
Here you can watch the tutorial how to create custom.css.
If there are any problems please provide us with wp-admin panel credentials in Private Content.

The Classic Conversion Story
Extract from the book 'Making Room for Others'. This article appeared in Our Sunday Visitor (May 15, 1988), and was originally written to coincide with the 16th centenary of the conversion of St Augustine in 1986. Imagine a young man in his early 30s, capable, intelligent, ambitious, who left home to become a university teacher. Not only was he the brightest student of his generation, but he had a winning and attractive personality and was never without friends and admirers.
Reflection on the Feast of St Augustine 2019
David Brooks is a journalist with the New York Times and a non-practising Jew. In 2013, in his early fifties, his life fell apart. He separated from his wife of 27 years, with whom he had three children. It left him feeling alone and adrift, and desperate. Having side-stepped religion for most of his life, without being particularly opposed to it - he enjoyed celebrating the Jewish holy days with his family when growing up - he now felt drawn to religion in search of answer

In each of these you are remembered with affection and gratitude. From all over the Province, on your birthday, we send you our best wishes, our thanks and our prayers.


DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A solar-powered airplane has landed in Pennsylvania, about 17 hours after it took off from the Ohio hometown of America aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright.
The aircraft traveled from Tulsa International Airport to Dayton last weekend. The plane"s departure from Dayton was delayed from Monday as project officials checked for possible damage after fans that keep the mobile hangar inflated had a power failure.
The Solar Impulse 2"s wings, which stretch wider than those of a Boeing 747, are equipped with 17,000 solar cells that power propellers and charge batteries. The plane runs on stored energy at night.
Ideal flight speed is about 28 mph, although that can double during the day when the sun"s rays are strongest.
The plane had a five-day trip from Japan to Hawaii The crew was forced to stay in Oahu, Hawaii, for nine months after the plane"s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip from Japan.
Solar Impulse 2 then had a three-day trip from Hawaii to California"s Silicon Valley. Since then, it has made trips from northern California to Phoenix, Arizona, then on to Tulsa, Oklahoma, before heading to Ohio.
Project officials say the layovers give the two Swiss pilots — Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg — a chance to swap places and engage with local communities along the way so they can explain the project, which is estimated to cost more than $100 million.

Die Europa-Kliffs sind eine Gruppe zusammenhängender Hügel und felsiger Gebirgskämme im Osten der Alexander-I.-Insel vor der Westküste der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie ragen an der Westflanke des Jupiter-Gletschers auf.

Trimetrogonaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) und Vermessungen des Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1948–1950) dienten ihrer Kartierung. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie am 20. Dezember 1974 in Anlehnung an die Benennung des Jupiter-Gletschers nach dem Jupitermond Europa.

Doubt Obama realizes either the irony or the material for comedy and ridicule in this latest decision of his to shut down the Statue of Liberty.
The press should have a field day. That is, those who are not his lackies.
How Has Obama Shut Down Liberty in the United States?
Outlawing Catholicism in the United States, or the HHS Mandate— faithful Catholics already cannot operate adoption agencies, soon will not be able to be employers, pharmacists, doctors, and will not be able to operate hospitals.
Forcing Americans to buy Health insurance through ObamaCare.
Forcing the 60% of Americans who oppose federal funding of abortion to fund abortion through their taxes….
The US Catholic Bishops have made a unanimous declaration that the Obama administration is violating the civil rights of American Catholics, by forcing them to act against their faith in a matter involving the life and death of innocent human beings in the HHS Mandate.
Obama's position on gay marriage, should it prevail, would also criminalize the refusal of a Catholic parish to hire a "married" homosexual to teach in its elementary school.
Why did the Archbishop of Boston and chairman of the bishops' pro-life committee, Cardinal Sean O'Malley, welcome Obama to speak at his Cathedral, literally giving Obama a pulpit?
Let us hope and pray that the good Cardinal plans to confront Obama on the Cardinal's turf.
Time will tell where this remarkable event will lead.
Cardinal Dolan's confrontation with Obama last year led to some public discussion of these important questions regarding religious freedom and civil rights.
Let's hope Cardinal O'Malley does the same thing.
This issue is far from over.

Watch Brian May Lose His Temper With News Cameraman
Queen guitarist Brian May – often regarded as one of the easiest-going musicians in the world – was filmed losing his temper with a news cameraman in Australia.
The incident took place when May arrived for the band's tour of the country, which will include a headline appearance at the Fire Fight Australia benefit concert on Feb. 16.
May was filmed signing autographs at Brisbane Airport, then stopping to face the Channel 7 News camera and saying, "You gotta stop that because I ain't doing this." The unnamed journalist followed May into the city and began shooting again as May met more fans. "Excuse me, I said no," he said to the camera.
The video report below presents the clips out of chronological order, so it's not clear exactly how the situation developed. At one point, May moved toward the cameraman and said, "All right, is this going to get ugly? Because you put it down now or else something ugly happens. Do you understand? You stop now. I'm serious, I'm deadly serious."
A skirmish ensued, after which the cameraman – allegedly a Queen fan – used his phone to keep recording. "Oh, the guy's doing it on his phone now. You're so clever, aren't you?" May said, while posing for a picture with someone else. "What a parasite you are. Just leave us alone, will you?" He then moved toward the reporter, and another man stepped in as May said, "Do you not understand? All right, all right. You go away now!" The phone was then lowered as the third man is seen leading May away.
The guitarist is next seen getting into a car and apologizing to the fans he'd been posing with, telling them, "I'm sorry it was made ugly by this guy. So sorry."
The incident took place before Queen performed at the Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, where they played a cover of the Led Zeppelin classic "Whole Lotta Love." Before the show, May teased fans by releasing a preview video. "We have a little surprise for you tonight," he aid. "Just a little something we thought would be a whole lotta fun!"

George McGovern Dead at 90
Former Richard Nixon opponent
Reason Staff | 10.21.2012 11:17 AM
SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—George McGovern once joked that he had wanted to run for president in the worst way—and that he had done so.
It was a campaign in 1972 dishonored by Watergate, a scandal that fully unfurled too late to knock Republican President Richard M. Nixon from his place as a commanding favorite for re-election. The South Dakota senator tried to make an issue out of the bungled attempt to wiretap the offices of the Democratic National Committee, calling Nixon the most corrupt president in history.
A proud liberal who had argued fervently against Vietnam War as a Democratic senator from South Dakota and three-time candidate for president, McGovern died at 6:15 a.m., New York time, Sunday at a Sioux Falls hospice, surrounded by family and lifelong friends, family spokesman Steve Hildebrand told The Associated Press. McGovern was 90.

U-266 — средняя немецкая подводная лодка типа VIIC времён Второй мировой войны.

История
Заказ на постройку субмарины был отдан 15 августа 1940 года. Лодка была заложена 1 августа 1941 года на верфи Бремен-Вулкан под строительным номером 31, спущена на воду 11 мая 1942 года. Лодка вошла в строй 24 июня 1942 года под командованием оберлейтенанта Ханнеса Лейнеманна.

Командиры
 24 июня 1942 года — 11 сентября 1942 года Ханнес Лейнеманн
 12 сентября 1942 года — 15 мая 1943 года капитан-лейтенант Ральф фон Йессен

Флотилии
 24 июня 1942 года — 31 декабря 1942 года — 8-я флотилия (учебная)
 1 января 1943 года — 15 мая 1943 года — 7-я флотилия

История службы
Лодка совершила 2 боевых похода, потопила 4 судна суммарным водоизмещением 16 089 брт. Потоплена 15 мая 1943 года в Северной Атлантике в районе с координатами  глубинными бомбами с британского самолёта типа «Галифакс», 47 погибших (весь экипаж).

До апреля 1990 года историки считали, что лодка была потоплена 14 мая 1943 года в Северной Атлантике в районе с координатами  глубинными бомбами с британского самолёта типа «Либерейтор».

На самом деле, это была атака против U-403, избежавшей повреждений.

Волчьи стаи
U-266 входила в состав следующих «волчьих стай»:
 Jaguar 12 — 23 января 1943
 Pfeil 2 — 9 февраля 1943
 Amsel 25 апреля — 4 мая 1943
 Amsel II 4 — 6 мая 1943

Tonight I have three more shades from one of my favorite Aussie indie lines, Glam Polish. Glam Polish is now stocked exclusively in the US by Color4Nails (who also ships world wide). These three glitters are very different yet all gorgeous on their own way.
First up, we have Crysta. Three thin coats. This shade is from the A Touch of Magic trio. It's a magenta scattered holo loaded with various sizes of holo magenta hexes. I've never seen another polish like this- so bright, so extra sparkly. In the sunlight, the hexes explode with light.
Frankenslime. From the Graveyard Ghouls trio, Halloween '13. Three thin coats plus some dabbing. I LOVE this polish! You guys all know by now that Halloween polishes get me every time. This combination of a toxic slime green base with neon green hexes and dark metallic purple, why, it's swoon worthy. I also added some slime art- it had to be done!
Mermagic. One coat dabbed over a tricolor gradient. A topper filled with holo and satin circle glitter of all sizes. This is a beauty! So dainty, I love how the pastel shades look. this polish would look great over a range of shades, I swatched it over a gradient to show you how versatile it is.
I loved all three of these Glam Polish shades. I love that this line is growing and expanding into different finishes and types of polish- and they're all still beautiful! This shows me that the brand isn't a one trick pony, Rachel (the maker) is pure genius when it comes to polish.

Very very good presentation. Explains everything about safety, hazard, materials etc. Better than ones i have attended in person the previous years. Thumbs up on the questions they asked during the class category.

Cook the pasta to al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, set aside.
Snap off the ends of the asparagus stocks and throw away the ends. In a pot of boiling water, blanch the asparagus for 1 minute, remove the stocks and shock them in ice water to stop cooking. Drain, cut each stock in half, and set aside.
Take a large saute pan and heat it over medium heat. Once the pan is hot add the rest of the olive oil. Toss in the garlic, red onions, and mushrooms and cook until slightly caramelized and brown. Add a pinch of the red chilies and the chicken. Add the noodles and stir. Then deglaze the pan with the stock. When this begins to sizzle, add the balsamic vinegar, snap peas, asparagus, and basil. Toss and stir.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Place on a platter and top with the crumbled cheese. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, I liked it with a fresh bust of lemon on top as well as the lemon flavor in the dish.


"One of the gifts of this particular retelling of this story is the ability to see the emotions we have so long held in our minds and hearts transposed onto real faces and bodies." Thank you for explaining why I am still crying 15 minutes after the episode has ended. There is Outlander the book, Outlander the TV show, and your Outlander analysis and summaries. Truly, you enrich the experience. Thank You.
Like you, I LOVED this episode. I love your thoughts and insights on it.
