Indian soldiers serving the British armed forces in France during World War I.
Shashi Tharoor refutes the idea that, as a colonial power, Britain was on a civilising mission in India. Imperialism was driven by narrowly understood self-interest, he argues in his new book.
Tharoor is a prolific author. His new book convincingly proves that right-wing apologists of the British empire are wrong. The colonialists were not on a civilising mission; they brutally exploited the subcontinent. From the start, the British East India Company was a profit-driven enterprise. It was set up in 1600 to trade in silk, spices and other goods and soon controlled most of India. The East India Company was the sovereign power until 1858. At that point, the British state took over after having quelled an Indian uprising.
The British blocked India's industrial development, as Tharoor shows. A world region that had been known for making textiles, steel and ships was basically reduced to a raw-material producing colony. As Tharoor points out, even the British themselves estimated that "taxation was two or three times higher than it had ever been under non-British rule, and higher than anywhere else in the world". The revenues generated in India served many purposes, including the funding of the colonial army, which relied on Indian soldiers and was sometimes sent to fight wars in other world regions. Corruption was a permanent issue, as British officers happily mixed private business and government duties. Worries were expressed even in London that newly looted wealth from India was undermining established norms.
It is often argued that, in spite of all hardship, Britain ultimately provided a kind of enlightened despotism. Tharoor proves that notion wrong. The colonial power neglected primary education, so India's literacy rate at independence in 1947 was a mere 16 % (eight percent for women). Moreover, some 17 million Indians died of hunger in the years 1891 to 1900. In 1943, the Bengal Famine killed another 4 million people. At the time, Prime Minister Winston Churchill blamed the victims, arguing that the suffering resulted from "breeding like rabbits". The brutal truth is that the colonial power exported food from India during the crises mentioned. Tharoor admits that some British legacies – such as the rule of law – prove useful today, but he insists that they are unintended side-effects of colonial authoritarianism. He points out, for example, that the colonial courts were racist. Masses of Indians died at the hands of their white masters, but Tharoor knows of only three cases of Britons being sentenced to death and executed for murdering Indians.
Britain's policy of divide and rule proved so successful, according to Tharoor, that India was partitioned when colonial rule ended. Today, India and Pakistan are nuclear-armed enemies. Indian society is known to split along lines of caste, faith and language. What is less well known, however, is that the colonial power systematically entrenched such divides. Cultures always evolve, but the British-controlled government did its best to define various communities, codify their traditions and freeze their evolution. It claimed to protect traditional ways of life, whilst pitting one community against the other.
Tharoor is an interesting person. He is a former UN under-secretary-general and human-resources minister of India. He has written fiction and non-fiction books. He was affected by scandal too. His wife Sunanda Pushkar was found dead due to poisoning in a hotel in Delhi in 2014.
It cannot be repeated often enough that Indian culture was shaped by several religions and a multitude of traditions. In most places at most times, peaceful coexistence was the norm. Tharoor assesses these matters well, but he could have argued even more forcefully. He only mentions in passing that the ideology of the current Hindu-chauvinist government, which is led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is rooted in the colonial propaganda that emphasised the differences between Hindus and Muslims. The sad truth is that the lasting authoritarian legacies of British rule are worse than Tharoor spells out. It is telling, nonetheless, that an intellectual of such standing has written such an anti-British polemic.

Since John Bolton took over the National Security Council in April, he has fired or forced the resignation of several top staffers, in what many outlets have labeled a "purge." Among those removed by the mustachioed ultrahawk are NSC members who had worked under previous presidential administrations — and were thus deemed insufficiently adoring of President Trump — as well as those he suspected of leaking, or being too close to previous NSC head H.R. McMaster.
But on Thursday, Bolston jettisoned someone who didn't fit any of those profiles: Jennifer Arangio, NSC's senior director for international organizations and alliances. By all accounts, Arangio was an enthusiastic Trump partisan; she joined his team early, working on Trump's campaign as his national director of women's engagement.
The former White House official said Arangio's just-the-facts approach put her at odds with Miller, a top Trump aide who favors restricting immigration, and others involved with the Domestic Policy Council, especially on the issue of refugees.
"She has fought to correct misleading information about refugees and migrants provided to the president by Miller and the DPC," the former White House official said.
Last year, Miller led the charge to reject a Department of Health and Human Service study that found that refugees benefit the American economy far more than they cost. The results undercut Miller's view that immigration is a drain on society, a rationale he has used to help slash the number of refugees allowed into the country to its lowest level in decades, discourage migrants from crossing the border by helping institute a cruel family separating policy, and advocate making legal immigration harder, among other initiatives.
There is scant evidence that legal or illegal immigration, at the level seen in the United States in recent years, hurts the economy as a whole; a wide body of research suggests just the opposite.
Foreign Policy reports that Arangio and Miller also clashed over U.S. participation in a global migration compact, with Miller's view that the U.S. should pull out of the agreement ultimately prevailing — though he "remained embittered by the rift." Arangio also worked against Miller to prevent the Trump administration from scuttling the State Department's refugee bureau, a battle that she won with the help of Congress.
It's impossible to say whether Arangio's relatively moderate posture on immigration accounted entirely for her undoing; her interpersonal style was also cited as a factor in her departure. "Jennifer had a hard edge that was not diplomatic," an official told CNN.
But Bolton himself is not exactly known for his welcoming views of foreigners, or non-white Americans. And such a move would be consistent with a White House that not only views immigrants as an existential threat, but actively suppresses information that contradicts that xenophobic perspective, even if it's delivered by an otherwise loyal member of its own team.

Shams al-Din Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad al-Muqaddasi
Circa 945 –circa 990
Traveler-geographer
Describing Islamic Lands . The geography of Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad al-Muqaddasi is considered the finest achievement in this field of medieval Islamic literature. Born in Palestine and bearing a family name derived from a name for city of Jerusalem (then called al-Bait al-Muqaddas, "the sacred house"), al-Muqaddasi later said that he decided to write his book during a sojourn in Shiraz in southwestern Iran in 985, by which time he had passed the age of forty and had made two pilgrimages to Makkah along with other journeys. Like some previous geographers, he included a wealth of lore about individual cities and regions: climate, products, resources, sacred sites, customs, political and religious factions, and trade routes. His most distinctive contribution, however, is a broad conception of the land of Islam as an integral geographical zone. He thus named his book Ahsan al-Taqasim fi Ma'rifat al-Aqalim (The Best Division for Knowledge of the Provinces). Dividing the totality of the Islamic lands into a western, Arab half and an eastern, non-Arab half, he systematically analyzed the structure of each province and subprovince starting with the largest cities and working down through a hierarchy of subordinate towns and locales. His information on routes and products strongly suggests that he saw his work as being of value to merchants, but he also included long descriptive passages composed in rhyming prose to appeal to the taste of the educated reader.

Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron, and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel David Moore, Giovanni Ribisi and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system. The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi—a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film's title refers to the genetically engineered Na'vi-human hybrid bodies used by a team of researchers to interact with the natives of Pandora.
Herbie is an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, a character that is featured in several Disney motion pictures starting with the 1968 feature film The Love Bug. He has a mind of his own and is capable of driving himself, and is a serious contender in auto racing competitions. Throughout most of the franchise, Herbie is distinguished by red, white and blue racing stripes from front to back bumper, a racing-style number "53" on the front trunk lid, doors, and engine lid, and a yellow-on-black '63 California license plate that says, "OFP 857". One exception to this is his introduction in The Love Bug, where he initially appears as a nondescript white vehicle with a gray colored fabric sunroof (a.k.a. "ragtop"), the style of sunroof offered on VW Beetles made through 1963.


I'm back home, in Paris, for Christmas week. It's the 1st time I come home since I left for Japan 2 years ago (I had an 18 hour stopover once in early 2006 on my way to a business trip in Czech Republic but it doesn't really count).
So we were 35min early, no biggy still 20min ahead of schedule when this hurdle clears up. We're finally let off the plane, but then right before getting to immigration, a security gate blocks us for no obvious reasons. Again we wait, 15 minutes, no information from any airport staff, and when finally we're let through I check the time and it's exactly the time we were supposed to land. I guess it would've looked bad on the record to let people out early.
Anyways, enough with tales of the great efficiency of Paris' Charles de Gaulles international airport. Worse than that for me is walking on the streets of Paris or taking the Metro and listening to all the meaningless conversations around me. It irritates me to unfathomable levels.
I can't help it: living in Japan, you develop a superhuman capacity to spot your own language from great distances (kind of like Spiderman's danger detection spider-sense). But when I'm back home, this ability backlashes and I go into sensory-overload, unable to tune-out or ignore the dullest dribbles of conversations in my vicinity.


Good post, I love it very much.I was pretty lucky to find your site. There is a lot of useful info!
Amazing website, how do you get all this info?I have read a couple of articles on your site and I like your writing style. Thanks a million, keep up the great work.
Not too long ago I've come across one post which I believe you might find helpful. Someone may take a steaming dump all over it, however it clarified some of my questions.

Local Friends Launch Greek's Pizzeria & Tapp Room In Greenwood
Writer / Jon Shoulders
Photographer / Erin Feldmeyer
Michael Harvey and Jason Tapp, co-owners of Greek's Pizzeria in Greenwood, went to great lengths to ensure they understood the concept and spirit of their restaurant franchise.
In 2003, the two friends decided there was no better way to enhance their grasp of Greek food and culture than to travel to the country itself and absorb it firsthand. They spent two weeks doing just that, visiting the areas where Greek's Pizzeria founder A. C. Karamesines happened to spend his formative years. Opening their own Greek's franchise was still years away, but the duo came away from the trip with a newfound appreciation for Greek cuisine.
"While we were there, we experienced different types of eclectic restaurants and foods — one being how pizza has evolved and is interpreted in the U.S. compared to all other countries," Tapp recalls. "Once we began to consider aligning ourselves with Greek's as a franchise, it was an easy decision because what we observed and experienced about pizza abroad was what made Greek's so different from any other pizza place out there."
When the time came to look for the right spot in Greenwood to launch a Greek's location that would have its own personality yet retain the spirit of the Greek's franchise, Harvey and Tapp took to the task with excitement.
"Growing up in the community has provided us with a little bit of an advantage, knowing the people around us and the support from all of our family and friends that we've grown up with — we couldn't ask for better support," Harvey says. "We found a promising spot off of State Road 135, and we knew we could hit it out of the park."
The decision to open a Greek's franchise sprung from Harvey and Tapp's realization that their professional skill sets paired well.
"For the last 10 years I worked for an Italian food distributor that actually distributed food to Greek's, so I had a past working relationship with them, and Jason had opened up a Greek's in Franklin, which has his first Tapp Room with a selection of draft beers," says Harvey, adding that he and Tapp are Greenwood High School and 2001 Indiana University-Bloomington grads.
"We decided it would be a great fit for me to bring my expertise and for Jason to use his past experience and combine efforts to open in Greenwood and have a second Tapp Room there," Harvey adds.
Greek's Pizzeria & Tapp Room Greenwood officially opened on April 10 in the space previously occupied by Beefcake Burgers, and the co-owners decided to line the walls with photos they took during their Greece trip, which Harvey feels enhances his patrons' dining experiences.
"I think it's cool for customers to be able to come in and see those pictures and immerse themselves in the culture in that way," Harvey says.
In addition to 14 specialty pizzas like the Five Cheese, the Spinach Deluxe and the Hawaiian Special, Greek's Greenwood offers a create-your-own-pizza option as well as pasta, sandwiches, salads, wings, breadsticks, desserts and kids meals.
"Center Grove is a meat-eating community," Harvey says. "We have a couple specialty pizzas that people typically gravitate toward. One is the Greek's Special and the other pizza is definitely our Gourmet Meat pizza. That's the meat of all meats — ham, bacon, sausage, pepperoni and meatballs. People love it."
Those hanging out in the Tapp Room can choose from 20 different beers on tap, including several local brews from Quaff ON!, Planetary, Sun King and others.
Founded in 1969, the first Greek's Pizzeria was opened by Karamesines in Valparaiso, and there are currently 26 independently-owned and -operated locations throughout Indiana.
"I think what makes this Greek's special in Greenwood is that you have two guys that grew up here and truly want to serve the community the best they can," Harvey says. "I don't think there's a substitute for that. Nothing against people who grew up outside the community, but it's just a little bit different when you're born and raised here and decide to give back a little bit."
Tapp echoes this sentiment and feels his and Harvey's connection to Greenwood makes their eatery special.
"With two home-grown owners, we tend to better understand our customer base — personally and from a business standpoint too," he says. "We find it very important to give back to the community that gave so much to us while growing up. It's through the concept of paying it forward that we hope folks can better understand why we chose Greenwood as our location versus the northside or anywhere else."
Greek's Pizzeria & Tapp Room Greenwood is located at 1642 Olive Branch Parke Lane. Carry-out and delivery available.

Brief Synopsis: "It's the year 2257 and a taxi driver has been unintentionally given the task of saving a young girl who is part of the key that will ensure the survival of humanity. The Fifth Element is filmed in a futuristic metropolitan city and in a French comic book asthetic by a controversial British, French and American lineup."
Dan O'Neill 70 - The overall look, pacing, and feel of this movie has you laughing and having a good time, but The Fifth Element fails to go that full mile when it�s script starts to fall apart by the last act.


I can clearly remember seeing some of these works at the centrepompidou in Paris as a teenager and being amazed by them. This exhibition of Matisse's late period abstract collages was at the Tate Modern, London, 2014. Sarah saw this show and loved the works as much as I. Youtube is such a great thing on rainy Sunday afternoons at the gallery. Here art historian Jacky Klien talks about Matisse's paper cut outs, enjoy!


The trading in the 21 st century is driven by Algorithmic software. It doesn't have emotions, fear, greed and it always sticks to the strategy. But the markets changes very quickly. From our experiences we know that betting on a single strategy is not very wise. The main idea of the portfolio is that it's based on short term and long term strategies operation on the uncorrelated FX pairs. Uncorrelated means that the pairs don't have to necessarily move together, nor they necessarily move in opposite directions. Hence, they are uncorrelated. Implementation the basics of this idea was inspired by a mutual fund, that has out performed the overall markets over the years. We have selected sixteen strategies with the specific settings from the thousands which has passed our ten strict and hard test as the in/out sample development, Monte Carlo test, volatility change test, different time frames and different pairs tests than strategy was designed for. For the details about it click to button below.
Power of sixteen robots !!
Portfolio X contains 16 uncorrelated fully Automated short terms and long term strategies. Strategies has a different trading logic and are designed for multiple time frames and the financial instruments that don't have to necessarily move together. Implementation of this basics brings the stability in all market conditions.
Starter version contains only four strategies for the EURUSD and GBPJPY designed for the multiple time frames and different trading logic. This small package has ability to operate with stable result on the financial markets. But for the full advantage of the algo rhytmic portfolio trading we suggest to upgrade to fund manager version with complete sixteen uncorrelated straetgies.

It's all started in 2012 as a dream to become an independent trader.
The decision not to stop until I succeed, led me to move to another country and took a job in an international brokerage company. Watching charts ten hours a day, has developed my sense for the markets. I realized how big players are able to effectively manipulate the market, so that most traders lose. Based on these experiences, I could developed my powerful trading strategies. After more than 8000 hours of chart time, my trading has became finally more stable and consistent. In the coming years my dreams came true. As you can see, becoming a successful trader is a difficult, but for the dedicated persons it's not impossible.
Our mission is to continuously improve our trading skills, automated systems and help others to became better traders.
We understand that trading is not for everyone to take it as a full-time gig. That is why we have introduced a variety of services as to help the busiest people to profit on from the opportunities on the financial markets. With help of our automated trading systems or copy trading.
Trading is not a science, its an art. You dont need a degree to become a FX trader. You need only a dream, passion, dedication and someone who is already on right path….
Every PRO must study over the five years before they start to make money in their industry. Don´t expect that trading is easier. Its actually much more difficult. So stop looking for the secret magic indicators, there is not the one mechanical system that can predict movement with + 60% accuracy. Understanding why the market ticks is a must to master the ability to read the banks game and predict their future moves. Only with right risk management we can face obstacles of fear, greed and other psychological aspects and win in long term run. We read Multi time frame Market Profile, Volume and Supply/Demand zones to analyze and predict next potential moves. We share our free analysis in telegram channel. Those who wants the exact entries and explanation of the orders we execute can join our educative signals channel. Just for one lifetime donation.
We always plan our trading setups on the weekends when the market are closed. So we have time to analyze COT data,banks positions and prepare the trading setups for the following week before the markets open.
This helps us to reduce the screen time by watching the markets tick. We always patiently wait till market price comes to our levels of interest before we execute.
Over ninety percent of traders lose money, largely to lack of planing, training, discipline, and having poor risk management rules. Prepare your plan and if you are wrong simply exit the trades.
Trading is a business and all Forex traders lose some money on some trades. It´s better to accept the loss while its a part of the plan.

Don't you just love it when you can chalk shopping up to a matter of national security? It's up to you to support homeland talent and defend Canadian designers from revenue loss! Or something to that effect. Lucky for you and your shopping impulse/national pride, Gilt has announced a series of exclusive flash sales featuring some of Canada's top designers.
The sale begins with Sid Neigum, known for his edgy and sculptural designs, and continues with a new sale every day thereafter from Biko jewellery and ready-to-wear labels Laura Siegel, Soia & Kyo and Beaufille. The sales will run until October 26. Consider it your national duty to shop.


Following up a big month of releases in June, the second release candidate of the 3.2.1 line is now ready. Since the first release candidate on May 15, over 40 issues have been fixed. We encourage everyone to test their projects with this candidate to get one last look before the final release of 3.2.1.
#1195 spent a few years witout a fix, but a simple addition to clear errors before calling fgets solves the problem of interrupting sys.stdin.read() with CTRL-D inside of input(). The io system saw a cleanup in #12175 with the readall method with None being the return value on a read() which returns None, and a ValueError is now raised when a file can't be opened.
Although this isn't new for RC2, #11272 is an important 3.2.1 fix to input() on Windows - the fixing of a trailing \r. The issue has been reported many times over and affects a many people (distutils upload command anyone?), so hopefully 3.2.1 does the trick for you.
3.2.0 brought a new feature for Windows: os.symlink support. With that feature came #12084, os.stat was improperly evaluating Windows symlinks, so the inner workings of the various stat functions were corrected.
A user noticed that os.path.isdir was slow, and the fact that it relied on os.stat contributed to that, especially when evaluating symlinks (which are generally twice as slow as regular files). While os.path.isdir isn't anyone's performance bottleneck, it's called numerous times on interpreter startup so changing it in #11583 to use GetFileAttributes gives a tiny speedup to build on.
Creating a Popen object with unexpected arguments was causing an AttributeError, but that was reported in #12085 and was fixed by the reporter. Due to a change in 3.2.0, Popen wasn't correctly handling empty environment variables, specifically the env argument. #12383 was created for the issue and was promptly fixed.
For a full list of changes through 3.2.1 RC2, check out the change log and download it now!
As always, please report any issues you find to http://bugs.python.org. We appreciate your help in making great Python releases.

The world is a beautiful place and it is a terrible place. It is filled with the greatest of the greatest and the worst of the worst.
The world itself is neutral.
The planet is just a planet. Nature is just nature. Our subjectivity is what gives meaning and labels to things.
The religions we have created, the values and ideals we try to live up to are humanity's compass to reach divinity. But we forget that this divinity is within us.
We forget that we have given ourselves these values and ideals. The biggest problem is we don't take responsibility to choose them.
The monsters and heroes we have created, all of those narratives live within us.
However, it's hard to believe we have any control. So we lose ourselves trying to control everything else.
We lose ourselves trying to escape monsters and hell out there, forgetting these associations are within us.
We do everything we can to avoid the responsibility of truly facing these things within us, so we project them outside of ourselves.
We fight each other out there, projecting our inner turmoil upon each other, making enemies out of each other, telling the same lies and excuses just on the opposite side.
But the world doesn't have a side, does it? We are all in this together, aren't we? And in the vastness of The Universe we are far away from everything else but each other.
Literally, all we have in the midst of eternity and infinity is each other. And we let our fears and perceived unworthiness brainwash us against each other.
The truth is, nobody is out there to get you.
We are all just doing the best we can about what we believe is right. The monsters and enemies are within us and we choose upon who we will project them.
But as much as we project enemies and monsters, as more we feed our fears, and as more enemies and monsters we create within others.
It's not that there is no danger outside, it's just that there are no predetermined enemies nor sides you should choose from.
The sides exist, but within you. And you create how many sides there will be, how many enemies and monsters are out there.
Both hell and heaven are within you.
You choose what you will project upon the world and that's all that matters. Either you make someone's day a little better or a little worse.
You choose what you project.
It's your power and your freedom to choose. It's your responsibility to create the world you want to create.
By facing your inner demons, by dealing with your inner wounds, you make the world a better place. You are making yourself a beam of light instead of darkness.
You are not supposed to fight monsters, to defeat empires of evil or save the world in a giant battle between the light and the darkness.
All you are supposed to do to make the world a better place is help an old lady cross the street, smile to a stranger, give someone hope that the day will get better.
To make the world better make someone's day a little better.
Those little things make the biggest difference. Those little things create a ripple of positivity. And those little things are most sincere.
By consciously choosing to make someone's day a little better you become an active creator of the better world.
And it's not your responsibility to create a better world yourself, it's all of ours.
You don't just make someone have a little brighter day, but you are inspiring others to do this for someone else.


On behalf of Benjamin Appelbaum of Benjamin Appelbaum, Attorney at Law posted in intellectual property litigation on Monday, March 26, 2018.
Many New Jersey residents use dating websites. Now, a lawsuit that was filed in March by Match Group, the parent company of Tinder, alleges that Bumble infringed on Tinder's patents in its dating site.
On behalf of Benjamin Appelbaum of Benjamin Appelbaum, Attorney at Law posted in intellectual property litigation on Wednesday, March 21, 2018.
New Jersey companies and businesses throughout the country build themselves by creating a brand identity. Part of a brand's identity is its name, and that name can be protected by a trademark. It is possible that another company will try to infringe on the trademark either inadvertently or intentionally. Prior to taking any action to protect a trademark, it is important to know that it has actually been infringed upon.
On behalf of Benjamin Appelbaum of Benjamin Appelbaum, Attorney at Law posted in trademark law on Tuesday, March 13, 2018.
Of the 1,000 most commonly used words in the English language, 81 percent of them have been used to create single-word trademarks. That may be a hindrance to companies in New Jersey and elsewhere that are looking to create quality brand names. The study, which was published in Harvard Law Review in February, analyzed 6.7 million trademark applications from 1985 to 2016. It also included 300,000 marks that were already registered as of 1985.

New Jerseyans who plan to launch new websites should take care to avoid certain types of common intellectual property pitfalls. Conducting proper due diligence prior to starting a new website can help to save people and companies substantial costs.

I am a fan of Mikki Galang's work ever since I saw her make-up in IG. When the opportunity to learn from Mikki presented itself I just had to be there. With Mikki's birthday Make-up Party slated on October 30 which is also's Mikki's Birthday. For 500php, we get to go to a make-up party to learn some tricks of the trade and party with Mikki.
A huge make-up box is set up.
We also got to explore the contents of get huge make-up kit.
Mikki started off the party with skin care and then a make-up demo with Bianca one of the participants. I must admit I had a hard time doing my own make-up after the demo since the event was at Clubbing TV but still it was fun practicing some of Mikki's tricks.
I also got to see some BDJ Bellas Kate and Rita.
This is the contents of the generous loot bag. Although it varies. Some of the girls got eyeshadow while others got lipgloss. I am happy about getting gloss since I am not an eyeshadow girl.
Aside from our loot bag, There was an Instagram contest where we post photos about the event and we get up win prizes from the sponsors which is Bobbi Brown and Kanebo. I was lucky to get the Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Color in Rep Carpet #1. Such a fun make-up party! It was the very first one I ever attended in my life. With drinks and dancing. I do hope Mikki has another workshop next year, hopefully special effects make-up so I can learn more or Hollywood glam.

The Election Day Riot of 1857
2/28/2017 in DC by Richard Brownell
1850s sheet music dedicated to the Know Nothing party. (Source: Library of Congress)
Those who look at the sorry state of politics in modern America can take solace in the fact that we do not face the savagery that took place in the name of democracy in 1850s Washington, D.C. During those tumultuous days leading up to the Civil War, Washington, and much of the country was in the grip of heated debates over slavery and immigration that often turned violent.
There were many organized groups during the early to mid-1800s who held a deep mistrust for immigrants from Europe because it was believed these people were destroying the fabric of white, Protestant America by overwhelming the country's social institutions and government services.
One such group, the American Party, was determined to force their anti-immigrant agenda on the voting public by any means necessary. This political party became commonly known as the Know-Nothings because they answered any question about the inner workings of their organization with the phrase, "I know nothing."
The Know-Nothings were different from other fraternal groups that arose during this time in that they "combined social functions with the explicit political goal of electing to public office native-born Protestants who would translate their anti-immigrant, exclusionary beliefs into public policy," write Susan Burgess and Kate Leeman, both from Ohio University. "To that end they sought to bar foreign-born citizens from holding office, deport immigrants unable to support themselves…and lengthen the time immigrants were required to reside in the United States before applying for citizenship."[1]
The Know-Nothings were not averse to resorting to violence to achieve their ends. They terrorized immigrants and voters who supported any pro-immigration policy, namely Democrats. Since this was before the time of secret election ballots, voters were supplied with paper ballots by their preferred parties which they brought to their polling stations. "The Know-Nothings began to use distinctly colored ballots, which made it easier to identify supporters of the party as well as those who were planning to vote for others," write Brenda J. Lutz and James M. Lutz of Purdue University. This allowed the Know-Nothings to more easily target voters who planned to vote against their candidates.[2]
Violent voter suppression led to riots in a number of American cities, including San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Baltimore, where in 1856, thugs associated with the Know-Nothings were successful in keeping Democrats from being elected to office, effectively ceding control of the city to the nativist party.
"Rioting and violence on election day in Washington, D.C., in 1857 was a direct extension of the violent tactics that worked so well in Baltimore," write Lutz and Lutz.[3]
On Election Day, June 1, thugs from street gangs such as the Plug Uglies and the Rip Raps were hired by the Baltimore Know-Nothings to take a train to Washington and do whatever was necessary to disrupt the elections. They arrived in large numbers and attacked voters at polling stations near Mount Vernon Square and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
Unrest quickly spread throughout the city as non-native voters and native voters who supported them were set upon and beaten by the gangsters with rocks, knives, and bats. Local police were overwhelmed by the large crowds, and Washington Mayor William Magruder called upon President James Buchanan to restore order.
Buchanan called out a force of 110 Marines to protect polling places throughout the city. The Marines moved throughout the capital, and in some cases their presence alone was enough to enforce calm in the streets. Much of the fighting actually took place later in the day when the gangs had mostly dispersed. Some witnesses claimed at the time that the Marines opened fire on a group of Plug Uglies without provocation, killing six men and wounding dozens more.
The actions of the Marines that day, and Buchanan's use of military force were later called into question. "The strongest action to repress Know-Nothing electoral violence occurred where no violence was going on," writes historian David Grimsted. "It was a slaughter of Americans peaceably voting by marines ordered out by a proslavery president."[4]
The Know-Nothing Party dissolved before the onset of the Civil War, with its anti-slavery elements folding into the newly formed Republican Party. Unfortunately, the legacy of political violence in Washington, and around the country has yet to likewise fade into history.

REGARDING THE BURIAL AT MOUNT LYKAION
Post Nr. 318/11.8."2016"
A human sacrifice at Lykaion? We don't know where did the baseness concerning the situation came from. It could either be from the vagueness and the misexpression of Ms Anna Karapanagos' (chief of the General Directorate of Antiquities) statements, or from the journalistic "misconceptions" of her statements. It could also be the ever crazy implications of the radial orthodox provocateurs who falsely call themselves journalists. Anyway, our country has always been peculiar regarding the understanding of ancient times. For example four years ago, in Tripoli, these people were proved unable to even hold an international archaeological congress without having the leaders of the orthodox church or "scientists" who wear "holly" crosses as pendants.
Representing the native, historically continuous and most importantly passed down by our ancestors, Hellenic Ethnic Religion, we impeach the umpteenth disgusting insult of our ancestors' memory by people who openly had no intention of respecting neither our sacred beliefs nor the scientific truth. If the archaeological source that let such vile rumours spread (we don't concern about the uneducated pseudo-journalists) had better archaeological knowledge, should know that in sacred places and Temples not only there were no burials but even more so, burial of supposed "victims" of human sacrifices, who in every sacricicial practice worldwide are considered "consumables". The only exception to that, were either heroes or people who had been deificated (depending on the existence or lack of grave goods). If the universities in which they have studied didn't teach them that, we do it now.
The scientists with the cross pendants not only were proven incapable of valuing this one of a kind find, but on the contrary, they vulgarized it. Some years ago (2006) in our Memorandum to the Greek government, we had offered ourselves to provide them for free with our knowledge for the better understanding of the cultural value of each finding. We were ignored. It seems that they draw inspiration only from the "Holy Trinity" of the Orthodox belief.
It also needs to be said to the people who malignly speak about the Hellenic Religion that human sacrifices had never been practiced in the official history of the ancient Greek cities' worship rituals. Every reference that has been made of the issue belongs to the, out of time and place, legends of Mythology.
For centuries now, following the brutal and bloody dominance of Christianity there has been an immense number of people insulting undisturbed, the memory of our ancestors. From now on this will stop.
We demand respect of our Religion and Ethnic Identity.

JinkoSolar Holding Co Ltd will be delivering photovoltaic (PV) panels for three projects in Cambodia with a combined capacity of 150 MW.
The Chinese firms Cheetah solar panels will be installed at two PV parks in Pursat province's Krakor district, of 60 MW and 30 MW, respectively. The third plant, with a capacity of 60 MW, will be located in the central province of Kampong Chhnang, JinkoSolar said in a press release. The manufacturer noted that this particular type of panels has an average module efficiency of 20% and is suitable for areas with high heat and humidity.
The three solar parks will be built in line with the local government's efforts to meet the growing energy demand in the country. Estimates by state authorities show that the electricity demand in Cambodia will expand from 1.5 GW currently to 2.3 GW by 2020 and to 2.8 GW by 2021. At present, the nation covers its power needs with hydropower and coal.

Sandman is an action game in which you must pour sand to rescue as many sleepwalkers as you can. Just click the mouse to pour sand where you want it. Use it to build ramps, slopes and bridges, and to turn the little walkers around. Beware of nightmares; however, they will respond to sand the same as the sleepwalkers do. Also, avoid water since sleepwalkers can't swim. The game saves your progress as you complete each level. To resume at a later time, click the "load" button on the game's main menu screen. If you get stuck at any point during a game, click "Quit" and restart the level.


If you visit Facebook's page terms, you will notice some additional text, "Personal Timelines must not be used to administer promotions (ex: 'share on your Timeline to enter' or 'share on your friend's Timeline to get additional entries' is not permitted)." These guidelines do not prohibit companies from encouraging sharing, but it's important to note that you cannot make sharing a requirement or reward fans for sharing.
In its most recent update to promotion guidelines, Facebook made a subtle change to the way sharing can and should be used as part of a social promotion. In the past, you could not require users to share your promotion, but you could incentivize sharing by giving better odds to those who shared. That is no longer true.
To make this easier for those who use GroSocial, we updated our Promo widget to reflect the new policy, and also made some design changes to make it cleaner and more modern. The widget still encourages fan sharing, but removes any allusion to requirement or incentives.
If you're curious about how this affects photo or video contests, it doesn't. For these types of contests, the person with the most votes wins. You can mention sharing as a way for entrants to encourage their friends to vote, but it's purely in the entrant's control whether or not they share using Facebook, or encourage their friends to vote through a different method.
Overall, this change won't diminishing Facebook promotions in any significant way. Those who are genuinely excited about a company, prize or products often share a promotion out of sheer excitement, and don't need an incentive.
I'm excited for the update to the Promo widget, and we'll keep you posted as Facebook continues to evolve.

I place high value on continuity of care, which is why I like family medicine. It allows me to get to know my patients and how their individual situations affect their health. I believe the patient-physician relationship should be a partnership in which the patient is an active participant in making informed decisions. I also believe it is important to thoroughly educate patients about their health issues.
Range of Practice	I enjoy caring for people of all ages, from pediatric to geriatric patients. I particularly enjoy women's health, including prenatal care.
Personal Interests	Traveling, running, hiking, and spending time with my family and friends.


Over the weekend the club was honoured to present Erika Bonneywell with a portrait to commemorate her election as a life member and to thank her for all of her scoring and support of the club over many years. The portrait was undertaken by local artist David Drury and depicts Erika at the ground.
Some pictures of the presentation may be found here.
Woking and Horsell Cricket Club would like to reiterate their gratitude for Erika's service over the past 20 years and look forward to her association with the club for a long time to come.
Photos of the WHCC Family Fun Day are now online. You can view the gallery here.
The day was a resounding success and we are currently looking into hosting the event again in 2010. Watch this space!
The new nets are now complete! After 5 days of fortunate weather the nets were able to be finished on time and within budget. A very big thank you to Steve Wernberg for putting the effort in to get the construction organised and keep it managed. Thanks also to our tireless groundsman Charlie Johnson, who was instrumental in facilitating the works throughout the week.
The new nets include a full length track with proper bowling run-ups. As an added bonus the existing nets have now also had bowling run-ups added as well - it's even all marked out!
The nets should be ready for use in the next few days. You can find some photos of our fantastic new facilities here.
Woking and Horsell's 20/20 XI had an excellent start to their Frank Binks campaign last night with a thumping 65 run win over the Woking XI.
An early blitz from Malcolm and Jerry saw the team hit the heights of 56 for 1 off 5 overs and after a small middle order blip some cultured hitting from Charlie and Digby towards the end enabled us to post a total of 157 for 6 off 18 overs.
Tight bowling from the start - Henry Peters opening up with a maiden - ensured that the oppo were always well below the run rate and as a result wickets fell regularly. Charlie added 3 wickets to his runs with Damo and John taking 2 apiece aided by some fine catching. Woking XI ending up 92 all out (full match report to follow).
Thanks to all those of you who contacted me about playing in this years Twenty 20 tournament. Sorry to those of you who have not been picked, but it was nice to be over subscribed for a change. We have two more games left at least on 17th and 24th June so let me know if you are available for them as well.
Those two games are at home and the bar will be open so if you are not playing why not come down and watch whilst having a well earned drink.
This Wednesday we are away at http://www.oldwokingcc.co.uk/ starting at 6pm, all support welcome.
Overseas Player in arrival before June shock!
I am pleased to announce that the club's overseas player for 2009, Digby Philip, has arrived in the country. Digby was recommended to the club by former player Glenn Morley, who has played with Gisborne, New Zealand. Opening the bowling, he made an impressive debut last saturday picking up 4 for 38 and clearly ruffling a few Valley End feathers.
If you see Digby around at the club on Tuesday or Friday nights or at the weekend why not introduce yourself and make him feel welcome?
Colts wicket keepers get helping hand, or should that be glove?


Effigy is Pelt's first new batch of new recordings since 2007, and their first album since Jack Rose's death in 2009. Simultaneously frenetic and meditative, it's a raga seared in pulsating low-end piano, scorned and mournful strings and swarming harmonium.
MIE Records are unbelievably honoured to be releasing, the first album recorded since 2007 by the acoustic-only droners Pelt. Recorded live in June 2011 in an old yoga studio in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin and a decommissioned synagogue called the Gates of Heaven in nearby Madison, the band have laid down their most accomplished and fully realised work to date. Epic in every sense of the word, Effigy is a sprawling journey through their singular plan on the musical map. Layer upon layer of droning strings melt over never-ending harmoniums which threaten to engulf you whilst peals of gongs ring out to mesmerising effect. Effigy sees Pelt reaching their blissful sonic enlightenment.
Effigy is a testament to the ancient animal shaped mounds called 'effigy mounds' which dot the landscape in and around Madison, Wisconsin. No one has yet managed to work out who built these creations. Over the centuries they have greatly reduced in size but still the largest can measure up to 400ft in length, and the outlines of birds, lizards, deers and bears are all clearly visible to the observer. Soil would have been carried from afar to construct these huge monuments with only crude implements to hand. The erection of the monuments would have surely have to have been carried out by practically an army of workers or inhabitants and taken a very long time to build indeed.
a noise-rock band turned acoustic drone outfit that's anything and everything but drone. Imagine Alan Lomax's Appalachian field recordings hydroplaning across LaMonte Young's supersonic dream highway, and that might provide a general idea of the Pelt M.O.


How do you get to be our age and have never heard of a Sweet Dumpling squash before? Can't answer that, but I do know that when we recently eyeballed some at the supermarket, we didn't hesitate to purchase one.
Dumpling squash, botanically classified as Cucurbita pepo, grows on short trailing vines and is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family along with gourds and pumpkins. Also known as Sweet Dumpling squash, it has a striking exterior similar in appearance to the delicata and sugar loaf and is known for its unique appearance and size.
What's ironic is, we had some "bonus" plants growing in our yard this summer, most likely from seeds in our compost. My plant identifier App "PlantSnap" established it as a Cucurbita pepo! The vines got ridiculously long and grew some beautiful yellow hibiscus-like flowers, but never produced the fruit.
Our "bonus" Cucurbita pepo vine got to be 5 times this length and was taking over the patio!
Hibiscus-like flowers from the Cucurbita pepo vine.
Of course there are as many recipes, as there are types of squash, so without getting too complicated, I wanted to make a simple roasted squash recipe with comfort-food qualities reminiscent of Autumn. After all, the new season just got under way and the weather cooled down. When cooked, Sweet Dumpling is smooth-textured, light, and tender with a sweet, mild flavor—just the ticket to complement our grilled lamb chops.
It is best suited for cooked applications such as roasting, sautéing, baking, and steaming and it can be used in both sweet and savory preparations. Its lumpy exterior and small size make it difficult to peel and are most often cooked with their skin on. But to me that's the beauty of it—the shell creates a natural decorative bowl in which to serve it.
Tastewise, the squash is like, if a sweet potato, butternut squash and acorn squash had a flavor baby, it would be the Dumpling. It's a little sweet and full of flavor. The texture is almost like a sweet potato – more dense and not as stringy as an acorn squash. So I used a similar approach to cooking it as I do when I roast acorn squash.
All at once with this recipe, each bite is sweet, savory and salty. Now that Sweet Dumpling squash is on our radar, it'll be a more frequent guest at our dinner table.
Cut the squash in half and remove seeds with a spoon. Use a fork to poke several holes in the outside skin of each half of the squash.
Place squash in baking pan with hollow side up. Add 1/2″ of water to bottom of pan. Place 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the hollow of each squash half.
Pour 1 tablespoon of maple syrup in each well. (It will run off the edges if you try to pour it there.) Bake uncovered on middle rack, and after 25 minutes, baste the entire flesh, including the edges, with the butter mixture.
Continue to roast for another 15-25 minutes (40-50 minutes total) or until the flesh is soft and the top is starting caramelize.
The buttery goodness will have pooled in the hollow, so using a spoon or fork, mash it all together (you can scrape it into a serving bowl if desired.) Serve hot.


Simon and Garfunkel didn't leave a lot of songs in the vault when they broke up in 1970, but that hasn't stopped Columbia from spending the next 46 years reissuing the duo's music in every possible sort of package they could think up. That includes too many greatest-hits albums to count easily, along with four box sets and a super edition of Bridge Over Troubled Water that is packed with demos, B sides and rarities.
Paul admitted many years later that "Cuba Si, Nixon No" isn't a great song and probably didn't deserve to appear on the record, though its unclear which one of them has refused to let Columbia put it on any of the archival releases. Not only did it not appear on the 2011 Bridge Over Troubled Water box set – they also kept it off the live album that documented their 1969 tour. Fortunately, a stellar bootleg has circulated for years of the group's 1969 gig at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where they played the song. It's the only recording of the song out there, and you can hear it right here. Hopefully some day they'll release it for real – maybe on a super-duper-deluxe Bridge Over Troubled Water timed to the LP's 50th anniversary in 2020.

I propose to write an impactful, visually stimulating and graphically informative history of gangs, guns and drugs in Chicago since the mid 1960's, when the phenomenon known as youth violence today first took shape. This will be no ordinary history.
It will be written with the hope and expectation that public discussion sparked by its appearance will mark a turning point in Chicago's failed 50-year struggle to turn the corner on youth violence.
This history will be a record of significant shifts in the nature of our understanding of youth violence as a social phenomenon and as a problem of concern to policy makers and society itself. The most significant shift in Chicago over the past 50 years has been the decline of "gangs and drugs" as that from Youth violence is now widely regarded as a systemic problem that to one degree or another afflicts virtually all American towns and cities. It is widely seen as comprising many factors - economic, educational, racial, cultural, legal, demographic - no one to my knowledge has raised the question of how mass media depictions of youth violence have affected both the public and that policy decisions made to address youth violence. that afflicts virtually all American cities, it will break new ground in our understanding of the factors that contribute to youth violence.
Designed and published as a colorful, profusely illustrated, oversized (9" x 12") paperback of about 200 pages, its stunning cover will make anyone who sees it curious to pick it up.
Cover shows photos of 30 faces of victims of youth violence. Alternatively, cover shows a mix of faces: of youth violence victims and city leaders responsible for reducing youth violence.
DK books are known for their ability to communicate complex information effectively via graphics: timelines, icons, charts, maps, sidebars, photographs, and via cartoons, paintings, period etchings and drawings.
Price might range from $30 to $40, as low as possible to attract the largest readership, including adoption as a text in high school and college classes.
Alternate lower price model: paperback (5½" x 8½"): Planning Chicago (Planners Press, American Planning Association), a handsome, illustrated history of city planning in Chicago since the 1950's .
Price: published at $35 but selling at Amazon for $20.
It will give readers a full yet accessible account of the systemic nature of youth violence - its roots in a set of social, economic, political, racial, educational and communication problems. This account will be a major and constantly visible theme of the book.
While written for multiple audiences, it will be written for one audience: the residents of Chicago.
The role of Chicago's newsmedia in covering both of the above historical trends.
It will thereby immerse browsing readers into given points of the flow of its five-decade survey of youth violence in Chicago.
It will give readers ready access those points in history that most resonate to them.
It will thereby give readers instant access to the evolution of Chicago's strategic priorities towards youth violence from the 1960's to the present day.
Marketed as a game-changing history of Chicago's violent past and as a road map for a far safer future, this captivating and immersive book will be the best-selling book about Chicago ever published.
This book attempts to tell Chicagoans the full story of the rise of heavily armed, drug dealing street gangs in Chicago since the mid 1960's and the city's unsuccessful efforts to curb them, let alone eliminate them. It's a complex story, full of violence, lawlessness, danger, destruction, loss of life and misunderstanding. I say misunderstanding because if there had been more understanding, most of the violoence, lawlessness, destruction and loss of life would not have occurred. That's the supposition on which most of what you read in this book will be based.
So who are you? You are a police officer, a high school student, a banker, an inner city mom or dad, a gang member (or former gang member), a teacher, a crime reporter, a mayor, a community organizer, a TV news anchor, a small business owner, a parish priest, a media owner, a commuter from the suburbs, or the proverbial man on the street. You are Chicago and this book is for you. And much of it is by you thanks to our conversations over the years.
First question: why has no comprehensive history of youth violence in Chicago been published before? After all, the topic of gangs and drugs (or youth violence, as we now call it) is sensational. It dominates Chicago's news media. And youth violence today is widely seen as a matter of life-and-death importance to Chicago's social and economic future.
Chicago to this day is famous worldwide for Al Capone's Prohibition era criminal empire of the 1920's, and you'll find plenty of books about him. (Sidebar: Al Capone Book) But there's no book (or film or TV series) about the Drug War criminal empire of Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, a man whose impact on Chicago by any measure - money, loss of life, control of Chicago neighborhoods - dwarfs that of Al Capone.(Sidebar: Guzman and Sinaloa Cartel).
On second glance, however, surprise vanishes. That's because the history of gangs and drugs in Chicago is such a dismaying story. As matters stand today, a factual history of youth violence in Chicago is perforce a history of loss: a record of Chicago's failure to contain the spread of gangs, guns or drugs in the city and its suburbs as well. (Image: defeatist Chicago Tribune headline). Who on earth would want to read, let alone write, a history of defeat?
Here at the outset I want you to know that this history is being written to replace this defeatist attitude with a new and constructive one intended to enable Chicago (including some of its gang members) to turn the corner on the gangs and drugs.
While this book is a history of failed struggles past and present, it is equally a history of lessons learned, of understanding developed and progress being made, with the possibility of success well in sight.
It's been written with the hope and the expectation that its publication and the citywide public discussion it initiates will mark a turning point in Chicago's 50-year struggle to turn the corner on youth violence.
the book will depict youth violence as systemic problem that for decades has afflicted virtually all American cities. may be In so doing it will By carefully surveying the media coverage of youth violence in Chicago since the 1960's, the book will demonstrate that this coverage has always been an integral component of the systemic problem of youth violence.
The first topic centers on the heavily armed, drug-dealing street gangs whose 100,00 members, according to the Chicago Crime Commission, now control huge areas of the city, with 15,000 more members operating in the suburbs.
The second topic centers on Chicago's role as the central Midwestern distribution point for the billion dollar market in illicit drugs imported from Mexico mostly by notorious Sinaloan cartel. As an example of the extent of drug use, the authoritative Illinois Youth Survey, in its extensive annual statewide surveys, reports a nearly 30% past-30 day use rate of marijuana by high school seniors in both the city and the suburbs.
In its final chapter, "It Can Be Done", the book with contrast the largely alarmist and despairing tone of this Crime Story coverage with the solution-oriented focus of media coverage dedicated to connecting citzens and City Hall and to making problem-solvers of Chicagoans of all races and backgrounds.
The history I propose is an ambitious undertaking. I want it to be the best selling book about Chicago ever printed. I also want it to show Chicago why it has failed to solve its gang/drug problem in the past and how it will solve this problem in the future by tapping the enormous power of a resources – the city's public communications system, or its media – that heretofore has gone untapped.
While designed and written to appeal to a general audience – to the man or woman on the street in Chicago, so to speak – the book's analysis of Chicago's gang/drug problem will be sufficiently insightful and well researched to compel the serious attention of policy makers in Chicago and elsewhere.
But gangs and drugs in Chicago have always, and equally, been a public communications (media) problem, widely perceived as such by the general public yet seldom if ever acknowledged as such by academics, policy makers or newsmeda.
The problem: "Crime Story" media coverage of gangs and drugs – the sensationalized if-it-bleeds-it-leads headlines that most Chicagoans have seen day in and day out in their newspapers and on TV – have actually exacerbated the problem.
Securing the active participation of all Chicagoans will require the city to address gangs and drugs in a third way: as a public communication (media) problem.
Innovative, interactive uses of media can connect Chicagoans, give them the information and resources they need to address gangs and drugs in their neighborhoods, and empower them to create neighborhoods that are good places to work, live, visit and raise a family in.
The media model for this problem-solving coverage is media coverage of Chicago's pro sports teams. It sounds strange, but what media have done over the past 100 years to make Chicagoans proud of their sports teams, Media can now do, at a financial profit, to make Chicagoans proud of their political leaders, their neighborhoods and themselves as Chicagoans.
It will be a book that mayors, police chiefs, academics or editorial writers cannot ignore. It will be written in the same direct, conversational style I am using here. I want it to be accessible not only to policy makers and the general public, but to young Chicagoans as well, including teens who are want to know more about gangs and/or drugs. It will open their eyes as no book has.
This history will be organized so that a reader opening it to any page will find not only a page number but at the top of each a graphic identifying the given year and decade under discussion, thereby immersed the reader in the text, sidebars, charts and illustrations describing major developments of that year and decade.
These chronological graphics will invite readers to skim the book from beginning to end, giving them ready access to the shape of the book and of history itself. It will engage them in the flow of events, personalities and will highlight the dominant trends and forces that have brought Chicago from where it was in the mid 1960's to where it is today, five decades later: a city that, despite the herculean efforts of many dedicated professionals and citizens remains largely at a loss as to how to deal with its gang/drug problem.
