Last year, one of my most popular posts was 'The Fabian Society, the Third Way and modern British thought'. If you'd like an eye-opening post with your morning coffee, it's ideal.
Prior to that, I featured posts on the Frankfurt School on May 21 and May 23, 2010. Since then, I've found a couple more insightful links, one of which is at Catholic Insight, 'The Frankfurt School: Conspiracy to corrupt'. I'll include a few excerpts below to fill in the gaps before I continue with the main post, which is a continuation of yesterday's regarding gay 'weddings' in church. Emphases below are mine.
What was the Frankfurt School? Well, in the days following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, it was believed that workers' revolution would sweep into Europe and, eventually, into the United States. But it did not do so. Towards the end of 1922 the Communist International (Comintern) began to consider what were the reasons. On Lenin's initiative a meeting was organised at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow.
The aim of the meeting was to clarify the concept of, and give concrete effect to, a Marxist cultural revolution. Amongst those present were Georg Lukacs (a Hungarian aristocrat, son of a banker, who had become a Communist during World War I ; a good Marxist theoretician he developed the idea of 'Revolution and Eros' – sexual instinct used as an instrument of destruction) and Willi Munzenberg (whose proposed solution was to 'organise the intellectuals') … Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat') 'It was', said Ralph de Toledano (1916-2007) the conservative author and co-founder of the 'National Review', a meeting 'perhaps more harmful to Western civilization than the Bolshevik Revolution itself.'
Lenin died in 1924. By this time, however, Stalin was beginning to look on Munzenberg, Lukacs and like-thinkers as 'revisionists'. In June 1940, Münzenberg fled to the south of France where, on Stalin's orders, a NKVD assassination squad caught up with him and hanged him from a tree.
In the summer of 1924, after being attacked for his writings by the 5th Comintern Congress, Lukacs moved to Germany, where he chaired the first meeting of a group of Communist-oriented sociologists, a gathering that was to lead to the foundation of the Frankfurt School.
This 'School' (designed to put flesh on their revolutionary programme) was started at the University of Frankfurt in the Institut für Sozialforschung. To begin with school and institute were indistinguishable. In 1923 the Institute was officially established, and funded by Felix Weil (1898-1975) …
Carl Grünberg, the Institute's director from 1923-1929, was an avowed Marxist, although the Institute did not have any official party affiliations. But in 1930 Max Horkheimer assumed control and he believed that Marx's theory should be the basis of the Institute's research.
Originally supporters of the Third Reich, they had a falling out with Hitler, left the University of Frankfurt, where they had been teaching, and headed for the most prestigious universities in the United States. Naturally, Americans — particularly academics — looked kindly upon these men and women as political refugees.
The School included among its members the 1960s guru of the New Left Herbert Marcuse (denounced by Pope Paul VI for his theory of liberation which 'opens the way for licence cloaked as liberty'), Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, the popular writer Erich Fromm, Leo Lowenthal, and Jurgen Habermas – possibly the School's most influential representative.
Like Antonio Gramsci, they intended to change long-established codes of behaviour for people in the Western world. In particular, they wanted to break down people's ties to family and the Church — the two obstacles to widespread acceptance of Marxism. Gramsci envisaged a 'long march through the institutions' — home, church, school — which would take decades in order to succeed. The Frankfurt School had the same objective — the 'quiet' revolution — which also was a long-term project.
How many of the following are familiar to you today?
… the School recommended (among other things):
1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4. The undermining of schools' and teachers' authority
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity
6. The promotion of excessive drinking
7. Emptying of churches
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
10. Control and dumbing down of media
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family
One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' – the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:
•	attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
•	abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
•	abolish all forms of male dominance – hence the presence of women in the armed forces
•	declare women to be an 'oppressed class' and men as 'oppressors'
Munzenberg summed up the Frankfurt School's long-term operation thus: 'We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.'
The School believed there were two types of revolution: (a) political and (b) cultural. Cultural revolution demolishes from within. 'Modern forms of subjection are marked by mildness'. They saw it as a long-term project and kept their sights clearly focused on the family, education, media, sex and popular culture.
Now for two notes about the Fabians. One from this article concerns Bertrand Russell, who collaborated with members of the Frankfurt School. In 1951, he wrote in his book The Impact of Science on Society about the importance of mass psychology, which
has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called 'education'. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.
The other note — similar in prediction — concerns another Fabian, Aldous Huxley, whose brother Julian helped found the United Nations. Gospel Nous Ministries' 'A Crisis in American Leadership: Exploiting our Moral Vagrancy (Part Four)' cites part of his speech at Berkeley in 1962:
If you are going to control any population for any length of time, you must have some measure of consent. It's exceedingly difficult to see how pure terrorism can function indefinitely.
It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy, who have always existed and presumably will always exist, to get people to (actually) love their servitude.
Pass the soma! I know my regular readers are aware of the danger here, but for any drive-bys: please wake up!
Anyone thinking that a) airport security pat-downs keep passengers safe, b) police targeting 'low-hanging fruit' offences instead of property crime gives us a more orderly society and c) that the many diversity laws in place bring equality really needs to read more about what these actions really mean.
This is what is really happening — it's only a partial list of a long litany:
– Confusion between civil and human rights. Last week in the Telegraph, journalist Charles Moore discussed Parliament's rejecting voting rights for prisoners. No problem there, except that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), closely associated with the European Union, said that voting is a basic human right. Most people believe that it is a civil right. When you violate the law and are incarcerated, you have broken your contract with society and are thereby deprived of certain civil rights — e.g. voting and freedom of movement — as part of your punishment. However, John Hirst, who has campaigned for prisoners' 'human right' to vote, said in the comments (February 12, 2011):
The ECHR has ruled that the UK is guilty of human rights violation by denying human beings their human right to vote. What part of that simple position do you not understand? The UK must toe the line of get out of Europe. Europe demands that Member States abide by Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law. Three basic objectives which the UK says it will meet. But it has been shown to have failed to meet them.
– Overemphasis on 'humanistic psychology' and 'values clarification'. The aforementioned Catholic Insight article notes that what used to be civics and citizenship classes focussing on constitutions and government are now comprised of coursework with regard to 'choices' in life. They explain that secular humanism springs from the designs of the Fabian Society, the Frankfurt School and their many present-day apologists. Abraham ('hierarchy of needs') Maslow, whom many of us studied at university, was part of the Frankfurt School and helped develop this concept. It is about more than his affirming 'self-actualisation' one studies in Psych 101. Therefore, he was surprised at the overwhelmingly positive reception Catholic nuns gave him after a speech:
On April 17th, 1962, Maslow gave a lecture to a group of nuns at Sacred Heart, a Catholic women's college in Massachusetts. He noted in a diary entry how the talk had been very 'successful,' but he found that very fact troubling. 'They shouldn't applaud me,' he wrote, 'they should attack. If they were fully aware of what I was doing, they would [attack]' (Journals, p. 157).
– Increased clout of special-interest groups. Allow me to preface this by saying that what consenting adults do in their private life is no business of mine. However, when special-interest groups expect the taxpayer to fork out for their advancement and entertainment, we have a disconnect. The Christian Institute's site reported in 2009 that the gay activist group Pride wanted money from Canterbury (Kent) City Council to help open … a gay bar:
The council refused, arguing that it has already provided £4,000 in grants for the group to promote its causes.
According to the council's website, it has endorsed at least two Pride in Canterbury events in the last two years.
But Mr [Theo] Grzegorczyk thinks this is not enough. He said: "For all those who have questioned whether or not the Equality Duty is practical or necessary: here is your answer.
"This is a council who have been able to wiggle their way out of engaging with members of their own community, simply because the law doesn't require it.
"Fortunately, Canterbury City Council won't be able to use that defence much longer."
– The hypocritical destabilisation of children. In September 2010, Daily Mail columnist Peter Hitchens (Christopher's brother) analysed gay activist Peter Tatchell's opposition to the papal visit. He describes:
what I believe is the hypocrisy of his attempt – and that of the Left in general – to wage war on the Pope by employing the charge of condoning or failing to act against paedophilia …
For on June 26, 1997, Mr Tatchell wrote a startling letter to the Guardian newspaper.
In it, he defended an academic book about 'Boy-Love' against what he saw as calls for it to be censored …
Personally, I think he went a bit further than that. He wrote that the book's arguments were not shocking, but 'courageous'.
He said the book documented 'examples of societies where consenting inter-generational sex is considered normal' …
And he concluded: 'The positive nature of some child-adult sexual relationships is not confined to non-Western cultures. Several of my friends – gay and straight, male and female – had sex with adults from the ages of nine to 13. None feel they were abused. All say it was their conscious choice and gave them great joy.
'While it may be impossible to condone paedophilia, it is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive and harmful' …
What he said in 1997 remains deeply shocking to almost all of us. But shock fades into numb acceptance, as it has over and over again. Much of what is normal now would have been deeply shocking to British people 50 years ago. We got used to it. How will we know where to stop? Or will we just carry on for ever?
As the condom-wavers and value-free sex-educators advance into our primary schools, and the pornography seeps like slurry from millions of teenage bedroom computers, it seems clear to me that shock, by itself, is no defence against this endless, sordid dismantling of moral barriers till there is nothing left at all.
Yet when one of the few men on the planet who argues, with force, consistency and reason, for an absolute standard of goodness comes to this country, he is reviled by fashionable opinion.
– Parents' taxes fund state power over their own children. We have no choice but to pay taxes. Many go towards necessary services, but when it comes to schools, parents may be on a losing wicket when it comes to withdrawing their children from sex education courses. Gay Labour MP — and former Anglican priest — Chris Bryant has proposed a Sex and Relationships Education Bill which, if passed, would make it difficult to opt out of sex ed classes in schools. The Revd Peter Ould, a married Anglican priest who describes himself as 'post-gay', is rightly concerned:
This is a serious issue. At present, parents can remove their children from … sex education … and they can do this at any age. The amendments to the 1996 Act proposed by Bryant mean that a child can only be withdrawn on their own volition (not the parents') and that that can only happen if they are of "sufficient maturity" … (I cannot see a definition of "sufficiently mature" that will cover children under the age of 12) …
Chris Bryant's proposals make the State the institution with the legal right and final authority to provide a moral framework for children. The inability of parents to remove their child from a class on sex and relationships education mean that in this area the School can educate children in a manner directly contradictory to the parents' wishes and [there] is no legal recourse. The non-definition of the term "sufficient maturity" can easily allow a Secretary of State, if s/he was so minded, to raise the bar so high for a child's absence from these classes that all children are de facto mandated to attend.
– Sanctimonious politicians whose minds are in the gutter. In my 2010 post on the Fabians and Labour politicians, I wrote that they presented themselves very well on television and radio interviews. Between 1997 and 2010, they articulately pointed out the shortcomings of British taxpayers who smoked, drank and ate too much. If we were not guilty of any of those, then we consumed too much electricity and gas. We drove too much. We didn't get enough exercise. We didn't read to our children enough. The list was endless. But did you know that one of these MPs, Harriet Harman, in an earlier incarnation as legal officer in 1978 for the organisation now called Liberty, wanted to lower the age of consent to 14 and to decriminalise incest? British readers should also note that at that same time Patricia Hewitt — later a Secretary for Health (!) under Tony Blair — was the general secretary for what was then the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL):
It also defended self-confessed paedophiles in the press and allowed them to attend its meetings …
In NCCL's official response to the Government's plans to reform sex laws, dubbed a "Lolita's Charter", it suggested reducing the age of consent and argued that "childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in, with an adult result in no identifiable damage". It claimed that children can suffer more from having to retell their experiences in court or the press.
– The near-inability to disagree without being vilified. Fellow blogger Dick Puddlecote sent me the link to a Michael White article in the Guardian. White, a leading left-wing journalist, has the temerity to argue the case for traditional marriage:
There's no way around the biological fact that no amount of high-tech chicken basting can eliminate the need for a female egg and a male sperm to make a baby. On that fact rest all successful societies since the year dot …
… of course, an ever larger number of straight couples are busily persuading each other that they don't need to marry, or stay married, in order to lead happy and enduring family lives.
I merely note in passing that the ever more permissive society in the rich west is barely 40 years old, has always been contested and is piling up problems different from the more conformist societies it replaced – but problems none the less …
Naturally, the comments following the article ripped his editorial to shreds: 'not what we expect from The Guardian'. They also criticised another Guardian article, about torture victims whose religious faith gave them hope and kept them alive.
Our society is in such a sad state today. The inability to criticise will become socially ingrained unless we keep speaking out about where morality, responsibility and our society are going. Speak up, speak out — before it's too late. Choose your medium: letters, phone calls, emails, blogs or social networks. But, please, say something and spread the word!
(Yes, this was a long post, but it was important to paint the portrait, past to present. If you got this far, my thanks!)

Guests at the 1st Annual Hainan Tourism and MICE trade show, held in Sydney this week, have been told to get to Hainan now.
"Hainan is a place that you need to get your clients to," Planetdwellers co-founder and lead guide Barry Warner said.
Sanya, Hainan's second largest city and biggest drawcard, attracts 80 per cent of Hainan's tourism and lays claim to being China's only tropical city.
"In five years time you'll be selling Sanya like you're currently selling Phuket," Mr Warner added.
"In Sanya you'll see the best of China".
Literally meaning "South of the sea", Hainan is China's southernmost province and is already popular among tourists from Japan, China and Russia.
"Hainan is a beautiful tropical Island, surrounded by mountains and white sandy beaches. We hope that our trade show encourages more Australians to visit Sanya in the near future" Sanya Tourism Association secretary general Dr Xie Xiang commented.
"You can enjoy the Chinese ocean, just like Sydney, except Sanya is warmer."
According to the Sanya Tourism Development Board, in 2010 Hainan hosted 3,000 MICE events, with approximately 300, 000 visitors flocking to Hainan for business trips.
"With twice daily flights from Sydney and daily flights from Melbourne, China Southern Airlines brings the paradise even closer," Hainan Tourism Australia director Michael Lee said.
Dubbed the 'Hawaii of the East', Hainan is unique in all of China in that the island offers visas on arrival without the need for visitors to pre-apply for a Chinese visa in their home country.
The event, held at the Sheraton on the Park, concluded with a cocktail reception and a prize draw with a generous range of accommodation prizes and flights to the Island.

The Fordmods "For Sale" forums have provided hundreds of members with thousands of transactions over the years in its existence. However, there have been a few instances over the years where buyers have not recieved the item they expected or have not recieved their goods at all.
It is important for all parties to a transaction to understand that Fordmods makes no representations or warranties about the trustworthiness of buyers and sellers in the "For Sale" forums. We cannot verify the character or trustworthiness of all members participating in this forum and as such, Fordmods will not be held responsible for any losses or damages occurring as a result of transactions orignating from the "For Sale" Forums.
Essentially, what Fordmods provides is merely a marketplace for buyers and sellers to come together and enter into contracts of sale. We therefore cannot (and will not) guarantee any transaction arranged in these forums, nor will the Fordmods Administration Group be in a position to intervene, nor will we be held responsible for any failed transactions.
Under common law, transactions which originate on Fordmods "For Sale" Forums represent a contract of sale between the two parties. The conditions of sale, method of payment, dates, transportation etc are all defined between these two parties at the time of offer and acceptane ocurring. In the event of a failed transaction (for whatever reason) any remedial action to be taken must be done so between these two parties.
Having noted this, there are certain rules in place which restrict member access to the For Sale forums without a certain amount of time/certain number of posts. This is a measure designed (amoungst other things) to prevent 'fly in fly out' sellers, who have a higher probability of failing to deliver on their side of the sale contract. We will be implementing further measures to further reduce the instances of fraudulent behaviour over the coming months.
Furthermore, if a contract of sale between two members is not completed to both parties satisfaction then the admin staff and/or senior moderators of FordMods reserve the right to limit or halt any further transactions using the website. That is if you fail to pay or fail to post, your access to For Sale and/or Wanted forums will be removed! However, Fordmods Admin is not in a position to enforce "specific performance" to the contract (i.e. we cant force a member to pay or post).
To maximise the probability of a smooth transaction, the Fordmods Admin Group suggests the following to be "better practice" when it comes to engaging in a transaction for goods/services being sold in the Fordmods For Sale forum. However, please note these are not "rules" nor do they represent conditions of participating in a contract of sale.
- Obtain and verify contact details prior to exchanging goods/cash. The Fordmods Admin Group STRONGLY RECOMMENDS exchanging phone numbers prior to "offer and acceptance" of the sale contract ocurring. A phone call is much more difficult to avoid than an email or a private message.
- Consider the standing within the Fordmods community of the member you are entering the transaction with.
- Seek pictures of physical goods to establish their condition, false representations regarding the condition of goods have remedies under common law.
In the event that a transaction does go "bad", members of the Fordmods Admin Group may be able to assist you in contacting the opposite party to the transaction, but this is the extent of assistance which we are able to provide. And of course, Fordmods will comply with any legislative obligation to assist an investigation by statuatory authorities.

Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin
Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin (2 February 1807 – 31 December 1874) was a French lawyer, politician and one of the leaders of the French Revolution of 1848.
The grandson of Nicolas Philippe Ledru, the celebrated quack doctor known as "Comus" under Louis XV and Louis XVI, Ledru-Rollin was born in Paris.[1] He had just begun to practice at the Parisian bar before the Revolution of July 1830 and was retained for the Republican defence in most of the great political trials of the next ten years. In 1838, he bought for 330,000 francs Désiré Dalloz's place in the Court of Cassation. He was elected deputy for Le Mans in 1841 with little opposition; but the violence of his electoral speeches led to his being tried at Angers and sentenced to four months' imprisonment and a fine, against which he appealed successfully on a technical point.
Under Louis Philippe he made large contributions to French jurisprudence, editing the Journal du palais, 1791–1837 (27 you., 1837) and 1837–1847 (17 vols.), with a commentary Repertoire général de la jurisprudence française (8 vols., 1843–1848), the introduction to which was written by himself. His later writings were political in character. See Ledru-Rollin, ses discours et ses écrits politiques (2 vols., Paris, 1879), edited by his widow.
He made a rich and romantic marriage in 1843 and, in 1846, disposed of his charge at the Court of Cassation to give his time entirely to politics. He was now the recognized leader of the working-men of France. He had more authority in the country than in the Chamber, where the violence of his oratory diminished its effect. He asserted that the fortifications of Paris were directed against liberty, not against foreign invasion, and he stigmatized the law of regency (1842) as an audacious usurpation.
Neither from official liberalism nor from the press did he receive support; even the republican National was opposed to him because of his championship of labour. He therefore founded La Réforme, in which to advance his propaganda. Between Ledru-Rollin and Odilon Barrot with the other chiefs of the "dynastic Left" there were acute differences, hardly dissimulated even during the temporary alliance which produced the campaign of the banquets.
It was the speeches of Ledru-Rollin and Louis Blanc at working-men's banquets in Lille, Dijon and Chalons that heralded the revolution of 1848. Ledru-Rollin prevented the appointment of the duchess of Orleans as regent in 1848. He and Alphonse de Lamartine held the tribune in the Chamber of Deputies until the Parisian populace stopped serious discussion by invading the Chamber. He was minister of the interior in the provisional government, and was also a member of the executive committee appointed by the Constituent Assembly, from which Louis Blanc and the extremists were excluded. At the crisis of 15 May, he definitively sided with Lamartine and the party of order against the proletariat.
Henceforward his position was a difficult one. He never regained his influence with the working classes, who considered they had been betrayed; but to his short ministry belongs the credit of the establishment of a working system of universal suffrage. At the presidential election in December he was put forward as the Socialist candidate, but secured only 370,000 votes. Ledru-Rollin led the Mountain, a republican grouping, to the 1849 legislative election, and secured 25% of the vote. His opposition to the policy of President Louis Napoleon, especially his Roman policy, led to his moving the impeachment of the president and his ministers. The motion was defeated, and the next day (13 June 1849) he headed what he called a peaceful demonstration, and his enemies armed insurrection.
Exile and final years
Ledru-Rollin himself escaped to London where he joined the executive of the revolutionary committee of Europe, with Lajos Kossuth and Giuseppe Mazzini among his colleagues. He was accused of complicity in an obscure attempt (1857) against the life of Napoleon III of France, and condemned in his absence to deportation. Émile Ollivier removed the exceptions from the general amnesty in 1870, and Ledru-Rollin returned to France after twenty years of exile. Though elected in 1871 in three departments he refused to sit in the National Assembly, and took no serious part in politics until 1874 when he was returned to the Assembly as member for Vaucluse.
Ledru-Rollin died in Fontenay-aux-Roses.
There is currently an avenue as well as a Paris Métro station named Ledru-Rollin.
Some variation of the following is often attributed to Ledru-Rollin:
"There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader."
"There go my people. I must find out where they are going so I can lead them"
"Eh! je suis leur chef, il fallait bien les suivre." "Ah well! I am their leader, I really ought to follow them!"[2]
The quote is probably apocryphal.[3]

India Unlocked: Current Phase of Re-Opening, Will Have An Economic Focus; Details Inside
Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued new guidelines to fight COVID-19 and for phased re-opening of areas outside the Containment Zones, today. The guidelines would come into effect from June 1, 2020 and would be effective till June 30, 2020. The current phase of re-opening, Unlock 1, will have an economic focus. The new guidelines have been issued based on extensive consultations held with States and UTs.
A strict lockdown was imposed throughout the country since March 24, 2020. All activities were prohibited except essential activities. Subsequently, in a graded manner and keeping the overarching objective of containing the spread of COVID-19 in view, the lockdown measures have been relaxed.
Salient features of the new guidelines
Lockdown measures would continue to be implemented strictly in the containment zones. These will be demarcated by the State/ UT Governments, after taking into consideration the guidelines issued by the Health Ministry. Within the containment zones, strict perimeter control shall be maintained and only essential activities allowed.
All activities that were prohibited earlier would be opened up in areas outside Containment Zones in a phased manner, with the stipulation of following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), to be prescribed by the Health Ministry:
Phase I (permitted to open from June 8, 2020)
Religious places and places of worship for public;
Hotels, restaurants and other hospitality services; and
Shopping malls.
Health Ministry would issue SOPs for the above activities, in consultation with the Central Ministries/ Departments concerned and other stakeholders, for ensuring social distancing and to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Schools, colleges, educational/ training/ coaching institutions etc., will be opened after consultations with States and UTs. State Governments/ UT administrations are being advised to hold consultations at the institution level with parents and other stakeholders. Based on the feedback, a decision on the re-opening of these institutions will be taken in the month of July, 2020. MoHFW will prepare SOP for these institutions.
Limited number of activities to remain prohibited throughout the country
International air travel of passengers;
Operation of Metro Rail;
Cinema halls, gymnasiums, swimming pools, entertainment parks, theatres, bars and auditoriums, assembly halls and similar places; and,
Social/ political/ sports/ entertainment/ academic/ cultural/ religious functions/ and other large congregations.
Dates for the opening of above activities would be decided in Phase III, based on assessment of the situation.
Unrestricted Movement of Persons and Goods
No restriction on inter-State and intra-State movement of persons and goods. No separate permission/ approval/ e-permit would be required for such movements.
However, if a State/ UT, based on reasons of public health and its assessment of the situation, proposes to regulate movement of persons, it would give wide publicity in advance regarding the restrictions to be placed on such movement, and the related procedures to be followed.
Night curfew would continue to remain in force, on the movement of individuals, for all non-essential activities. However, the revised timings of the curfew will be from 9 pm to 5 am.
National Directives for COVID-19 management would continue to be followed throughout the country, with a view to ensure social distancing.
States to decide on activities outside Containment Zones
States and UTs, based on their assessment of the situation, may prohibit certain activities outside the Containment zones or impose such restrictions, as deemed necessary.
Protection for vulnerable persons
Vulnerable persons, i.e., persons above 65 years of age, persons with co-morbidities, pregnant women, and children below the age of 10 years, are advised to stay at home, except for meeting essential requirements and for health purposes.
Use of Aarogya Setu
The Aarogya Setu mobile application is a powerful tool built by Government of India to facilitate quick identification of persons infected by COVID-19, or at risk of being infected, thus acting as a shield for individuals and the community. With a view to ensure safety, various authorities are advised to encourage the use of the application.

Q: Nested for loop logic I am trying to accomplish the following using nested for loops (C language):
    a[0] = b[0][0];
    a[1] = b[1][0];
    a[2] = b[1][1];
    a[3] = b[2][0];
    a[4] = b[2][1];
    a[5] = b[2][2];
    a[6] = b[3][0];
    a[7] = b[3][1];
    a[8] = b[3][2];
    a[9] = b[3][3];

I have this:
    for (j=0; j<3; ++j)
        for (k=0; k<j; ++k)
            a[i] = b[j][k];

I think I need this:
    for (i=0; i<9; ++i)

but I'm having trouble working out where to put it. Any help with the logic appreciated.  Thank you.

A: Two fixes.

*

*include a counter

*make your bound check inclusive

Illustrated:
int i=0;
for (j = 0; j <= 3; ++j)
    for (k = 0; k <= j; ++k)
        a[i++] = b[j][k];

Ideone

A: You were so close! This should do it:
i=0;
for (j=0; j<3; ++j)
    for (k=0; k<j; ++k)
        a[i++] = b[j][k];

A: You just need to increment a variable inside the nested for loop:
int i = 0;
for (j=0; j<3; ++j)
    for (k=0; k<j; ++k)
        a[i++] = b[j][k];

BATCA serving the community
BATCA's Fun Days, Community Awards schemes and other events bring people from all backgrounds together and build up community spirit (see events page). BATCA aims to give local groups a platform to share news and promote themselves through e-bulletins and this website. Many new connections have been made this way. BATCA takes an interest in local issues and as appropriate expresses members' views on these.
BATCA's members and partners
BATCA members and partners include faith bodies (Churches Together, Tooting Islamic Centre and Balham Mosque, Sikh and Hindu bodies), local businesses, many local voluntary organisations (eg Transition Town Tooting, Ronald McDonald House, Tooting) and bodies in the public sector (eg Metropolitan Police, St George's Hospital). BATCA's membership is representative of all sides of the community.

About 215,000 enrollees in Medicare health maintenance organizations will be affected this year by HMOs leaving the program, the fourth year in a row that the Medicare+Choice program has seen a negative enrollment change and the fifth consecutive year that insurers have pulled back from participating.

In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, AAHP President Karen Ignagni said, "The only certain path to long-term, structural reform of the Medicare program, including the addition of a prescription drug benefit, lies with a strong and stable Medicare+Choice program.
This change will have broad effects for Medicare beneficiaries, since they will have to select another HMO in the Medicare+Choice program before November 30, 1998, or choose a different type of Medicare insurance before December 31, 1998 to prevent a lapse in coverage.
From it, the Medicare+Choice program was renamed Medicare Advantage and new regional PPOs were created, as well as "special needs plans" for dual eligibles, the institutionalized or those with severe and disabling conditions.
Johnson and Stark seek numerous changes, including a more streamlined regulatory process, such as the regular issuance of rules and regulations; more accountability within Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly the Healthcare Financing Administration); increased contractor oversight; simplified cost reporting and data collection; and several changes to the Medicare+Choice program.

The lathe is precise to hundredths of a millimeter, but for steel friction fits, where thousandths of a millimeter can make or break a project, we need even greater precision.
The solution is, perhaps strangely, sandpaper. To be precise, it's lapping film, but the principle is the same. It's a paper/film coated with tiny abrasive particles which we use by hand to precisely remove minute amounts of material from a workpiece.
Our lapping film comes in a variety of grits, measured in microns, or μm. One micron is equal to one thousandth of a millimeter. For reference, a human hair is roughly 10-50 μm wide, and our lapping film comes in grits as fine as just 3 μm.
A 6 μm carbon filament resting against a 50 μm human hair (Wikipedia).
For the clock project, we need to repivot the week wheel, since our clock plates are a different distance apart than the original design. This means we have to cut out the original pivot and create a hardened and tempered steel pivot to replace it.
With our micrometer, we're able to measure to about the nearest 2.5 μm, so that's the maximum precision we're going to be able to achieve. 5 μm in either direction will cause the pivot to fall out (too loose) or it won't go into the wheel in the first place (too tight). There's absolutely zero tolerance.
To achieve this perfect fit, we machine the pivot to about 0.01 mm above our target and use the lapping film to reduce it to the proper diameter. Since this is heat-treated, the abrasives also remove the visual effects of the heat treatment process.
You can see the "bluing" and scale (carbon deposits) from the heat treatment process on the outside of the repivot piece in the header image. That will also be ground down with the lapping film to create a seamless finish.
Lapping must be done with great care. The film is mounted on a brass carrier, which we must file perfectly flat and square, and is held against the workpiece while it's mounted in the lathe. It's delicate work—going under dimension means we'll have to remake the entire piece—but done properly, it enables us to achieve incredible precision, all by hand.

Learn about the history of the inn at folkston
For several years Ted and Alease Kelly (natives of Jacksonville, FL) had planned to run a bed and breakfast some day. After visiting the Inn at Folkston in the Winter of 2012, they fell in love with the Inn and the Innkeeper, Janis. They were pleasantly surprised to learn the Inn was for sale and immediately realized this was meant to be their home and a place for them to serve the many guests that would come. By Summer 2013 the Kelly family (including daughter, Mariah) moved in to become the new Owners/Innkeepers.
Janis Richtmyer and Bill Whitaker owned the Inn from 2006 to 2013.
When Former Innkeepers Genna & Roger were first considering moving here, Folkston had no bed and breakfast, and according to the Chamber's executive director, there were many residents who thought the town needed one. In fact, there was an elderly lady selling a large home right down on Main Street...would they be interested in seeing it? The rest is history. Folkston would soon become their new home. After quickly selling their home in Virginia, Roger and Genna began a year's restoration of the 12-room 1920s heart-pine bungalow, working with contractor Bob Archer of nearby Blackshear, Georgia. In February of 1998, they opened Folkston's first and finest bed and breakfast.
When Roger and Genna purchased the house in 1997, it was 75 years old and had been home to nine previous owners. During that time, the house went through numerous structural changes at the hands of its many owners. The original heart pine of the interior of the home had been covered with plush carpeting, wallboard, dropped ceilings and paneling, and the window and door trim had been painted white. The exterior consisted of vinyl siding and shutters, and the porch railing had disappeared. In restoring the house, Roger and Genna made every effort to restore the home according to historic preservation guidelines.
According to courthouse records, the property on which the house stands was sold on May 26, 1922 to Ed Shiver, a Folkston carpenter/builder, who erected a house on the property. On August 13, 1924, he sold the house and property to the Georgia-Florida Investment Co., owned by James Vernon Gowen, a prominent citizen of Charlton County. James Vernon Gowen's family had resided at Traders Hill on the St. Marys River since his father, Andrew Green Gowen, came from South Carolina in 1864. In 1920, J.V. Gowen built a large home for his family on a hill overlooking the road between Folkston and St. George. This family home at Traders Hill still stands, but it is abandoned and the land is somewhat overgrown, making it difficult to see from the road. Today, Gowen descendants live in newer homes adjacent to the old family home.
J.V. Gowen purchased the Main Street house as a second, in-city home for when his children were attending school in Folkston. The Gowens had nine children, eight boys and one girl. The Gowens were well known and active in the community. J.V. Gowen formed the Georgia-Florida Investment company in 1910, and his business grew into one of the county's largest and most successful businesses. The company operated a sawmill, turpentine still, and related timber products, as well as a commissary at Traders Hill. Over the years Gowen acquired over 30,000 acres of land at Traders Hill. The Gowens lived on and off on Main Street for the next 28 years. After that time, the house changed hands frequently. In August of 1952 the house was sold to the Bragg family. Elizabeth DeVane and her husband Howard bought the house in February, 1959, and Ms. DeVane converted the old servant's quarters into a schoolhouse. Many local people recall attending Ms. DeVane's kindergarten class between 1959-67.
The Whitakers (perhaps a distant relation to Bill Whitaker ??) lived here from 1969-1975, and they reported the presence of a ghost, a woman in a plaid dress, who appeared in the stairwell to the second story. Apparently, the ghost is that of Rachel Templeton, a teacher who was a former resident. Allon Boatwright, currently of Valdosta, spent many boyhood hours in the house when the Flinks bought the house from the Whitakers and moved into the house in 1976. He recalls putting a chair in front of the attic door to ensure that the ghost did not come into the upper room bedroom of one of the Flink children.
Mrs. Flink owned a bakery in the old hotel on Main Street called "Ye Olde Bakery," and they lived in the house for nine years. When Virginia Stacks purchased the house in 1985, she remodeled the house by installing vinyl siding, carpeting and wallboard. By removing a wall between two bedrooms she created a poolroom with dropped ceilings and large fluorescent lights. During restoration, the bedrooms' dividing wall was rebuilt in the original location to create Hanna's Norway Room, and the other bedroom was converted into the bathrooms for Hanna's Room and Michael's Room. The Stacks removed the back porch, and added two rooms to the back of the house, India's Oriental Room and the inn's workroom, as well as the small side porch. The Stacks had moved from Jacksonville when their home was torn down during the building of the I-95 highway over Dames Point. She brought many things with her from the old house. The kitchen cabinets were moved here and rebuilt to fit the kitchen. She replaced the bannister and rails to the second floor with 100-year-old ones she brought with her. The original bannister and rails were found in the garage and used to build the railing in Sarah Jane's Garden Room.

High-concentration ozone generator for oxidation of silicon operating at atmospheric pressure
Kunihiko Koike*, Tatsuo Fukuda, Shingo Ichimura, Akira Kurokawa
A high-concentration ozone generator operating at atmospheric pressure was developed to produce ozone for use in fabrication of ultrathin silicon oxide films. A technique for adsorption onto silica gel, in which ozone has adsorption priority over oxygen, was adopted to obtain concentrated ozone. An ozone-oxygen mixture gas generated by a commercial ozonizer is fed in turn to three parallel adsorption columns that are kept at -60°C. After the adsorption process, the ozone-enriched gas is desorbed by a slow warming of the columns from -60 to 0°C and is stored in a storage vessel. Finally, the condensed ozone, at concentrations up to 30 vol % can be supplied continuously to a silicon oxidation chamber at atmospheric pressure and a constant flow rate. Moreover, highly concentrated ozone above 70 vol % can be produced in a batch process by using an additional purification procedure prior to the desorption. We confirmed that even with 25 vol % ozone gas, SiO2 film as thick as 6.3 nm grew on a Si substrate at 600°C and 15 Torr in a 30 min exposure, while under the same experimental conditions only a 3.1 nm thick SiO2 film could be formed on the same substrate with pure oxygen.

Despite the automatic right to appeal any arbitration ruling, compulsory arbitration does have its uses. In reasonably common cases involving minor injuries, car crashes and the like, arbitration can be useful, particularly when an insurance company has accepted the defense of the case. Insurance companies defend so many cases, and so many of those cases are worth less than the $50,000 arbitration limit, that they have enough experience to make reasonably accurate predictions based on the outcomes and monetary awards in arbitration. Arbitrations in this context can greatly assist in settlements, or, if the award is consistent with what the Defendant or its insurer thinks it will likely achieve in the superior court, the awards are often accepted.
Outside of this context, however, the arbitration process is far less useful. If the case involves any complexity or is unusual in any significant way, accurate predictions based on the arbitration award are far less common, and thus the usefulness of the outcome and award is far less likely to be accepted.
