Other Abstract: This study's objective is to analyze alternative education policy for children of unskilled migrant worker which are related to the labour market situation and the ASEAN community. The Structuration Theory (Anthony Giddens) is used as a framework of analysis. The study was conducted in Maung district Samutsakorn, and Maesod district in Tak province. Findings indicate that Thailand's policy has given education opportunities to migrant children in local schools, learning centres and other alternative education providers. According to Giddens' theory, GOs shape education policy based on a national security paradigm using legal provisions, budgets and roles as their assets. NGOs are agents that provide education based on child rights concepts, having knowledge and acquaintance with the target group as their asset. NGOs interact with GOs at different levels to achieve their purpose of advocating for policies that ensure education provision for migrant children. However, the regulations for which they advocate sometimes turn to control them instead. Policy advocacy sometime comes from IGOs as well, using their technical expertise and financial support to pressure Thailand's commitment to various international instruments. An alternative education policy emerges from the study findings and expert interviews. The expert interviews are analyzed by PESTL technic to draft four future education modules. SWOT analysis and TOWS matrix are used to examine the four modules. The modules are: 1) Basic education which credit can be transferred to the origin country, 2) Formal and Non-formal basic education plus short course skill trainings, 3) Basic education and primary vocational education, and 4) Vocational education from primary to higher level. Modules 1 and 3 are proposed with conditions to live in Thailand for specific periods and do not lead to citizenship. Modules 2 and 4 with consideration of budget burden and compete with local children. The four modules should be adapted to frame education policy for children of unskilled migrant worker families and draw more contributions from entrepreneurs. The alternative education policies will increase migrant children's capacities in order to meet demands of labour markets as well as increase Thailand's and ASEAN's labour productivity.


It's very hard to know how to get somewhere when you don't know where you're going.
Do you know where you're going? Do you know why you're here, what your purpose in life really is, why you exist?
In today's sermon we will review the first section of Jesus' Sermon On The Mount.
What makes the Gospel glorious? God does. Not just who He is, but how He has manifested "who He is" among us: the death, burial & resurrection of His Son for our sin. All praise & glory is due Him!
How do you define 'grace'? Probably a good idea to make sure your definition and that of the Scriptures line up.
Imagine getting caught in your worst sin... then being paraded up to front row of the church for al to see. There is no doubt of your guilt, no hope for an acquittal: you're guilty and you know, as does everyone else.

La  est une organisation internationale, à but non lucratif, ayant pour principal objectif de promouvoir l'exploration et la colonisation de la planète Mars. Elle a été créée en 1998 par Robert Zubrin, et a reçu le soutien d'écrivains et réalisateurs de science-fiction, tels que Kim Stanley Robinson ou James Cameron, et de divers scientifiques.

L'organisation se consacre à convaincre le public et les gouvernements des bénéfices de l'exploration spatiale et de Mars en particulier, et défend l'idée de missions humaines vers Mars.

Histoire

La  est officiellement née lors de sa conférence fondatrice en . Sept cents représentants  ont participé à un week-end de discussions et de présentations des principaux défenseurs de l'exploration de Mars.

Elle compte aujourd'hui environ cinq mille membres dans une cinquantaine de pays.

Son principe est de montrer que Mars est un objectif réalisable grâce à une série de projets, techniques ou autres, et notamment :
 la poursuite de l'élaboration du plan de la mission Mars Direct pour envoyer des humains sur Mars ;
 le programme  (MARS – Station de recherche analogue à Mars) d'étude des possibles futurs habitats martiens, situés sur des terrains ressemblant à Mars ;
 le concours , un concours pour concevoir un véhicule tout-terrain pressurisé utilisable sur Mars ;
 le programme , un programme pour concevoir, construire et lancer un satellite en rotation pour fournir artificiellement une gravité partielle de , équivalente à celle de Mars, et accueillir une petite population de souris pour étudier les effets sur la santé d'une gravité partielle ; c'est à l'origine une initiative de la Mars Society qui est maintenant soutenue par un portail web ;
 la mission de ballon martien conduite par la section allemande de la Mars Society ;
 le programme Tempo3 (), un satellite fondé sur CubeSat ayant pour but de démontrer la génération d'une gravité artificielle en utilisant des masses reliées par un câble.

La  exerce également d'autres activités comme des conférences et des présentations sur ses projets aux écoles, collèges, universités, organismes professionnels et grand public. Dans ce cadre, elle promeut l'enseignement des sciences, de l'astronomie et des sujets liés aux vols spatiaux dans les écoles. Ainsi que fait campagne pour plus d'investissement de la part de chaque pays dans la recherche et le développement spatial. L'ONG accueille par ailleurs des conférences annuelles sur l'exploration de Mars aux États-Unis, en Europe et en Australie. Elle soutient la NASA, l'ESA et d'autres agences spatiales dans leurs programmes en cours d'exploration de Mars.

Son comité directeur inclut des personnalités comme Buzz Aldrin et Peter H. Smith.

D'autres personnalités ont fait partie par le passé du comité directeur de la  comme Kim Stanley Robinson, Michael Griffin, Christopher McKay, et Pascal Lee.

Sections européennes

Autriche : ASF (Österreichisches Weltraum Forum, OeWF).
L'ASF (Österreichisches Weltraum Forum, OeWF) est un réseau national pour l'aérospatiale et les passionnés de l'espace, et la branche autrichienne de la . Le « Forum » est ainsi devenu une plateforme de communication entre le secteur spatial et le public ; elle est dans un réseau mondial de spécialistes de l'industrie spatiale, de la recherche et de la politique. Par conséquent, l'OeWF essaie de faciliter un renforcement du secteur national de l'Espace par une plus forte visibilité publique des activités spatiales, des ateliers et conférences techniques ainsi que des projets liés au Forum.

Ses recherches sont principalement liées à Mars, par exemple :
 la mission  avec près de  impliqués dans une simulation de mission à la Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS : Station martienne de recherche du désert) ;
 , programme de recherche sur plusieurs années, qui comprend le développement d'un système analogue de robot martien, un nouveau prototype de scaphandre baptisé « Aouda.X », qui doivent aboutir à une expédition dans l'Arctique en 2011.

Le Forum compte un petit nombre de membres professionnels qui contribuent à des projets spatiaux, principalement en coopération avec d'autres associations autrichiennes ainsi qu'avec des organisations spatiales internationales. Le spectre de leurs activités varie de simples présentations dans des salles de classe à des expositions sur l'Espace de quinze mille visiteurs ; des rapports d'expert pour le ministère fédéral autrichien de la Technologie à des activités de transfert de technologies spatiales pour les applications terrestres.

Pays-Bas : .
La section néerlandaise de la société de Mars ( Pays-Bas) a débuté avec son site web en 1999. La MS PB est enregistrée aux Pays-Bas en tant qu'organisation à but non lucratif («  »). Les membres inscrits versent une cotisation annuelle. Les activités de la MS PB sont axées sur la sensibilisation du public à travers des conférences (nationales et européennes), des expositions, des événements et des campagnes médiatiques.

Le principal moyen de communication avec les membres et le public en général est le site web consacré à Mars et aux sujets liés à l'espace. En coopération avec la Société Néerlandaise pour l'Aérospatiale (NVR), MS PB s'efforce d'éduquer la jeunesse avec le programme « enfants pour l'espace » et le « programme RuimteWijs », donnant des conférences sur Mars dans tout le pays. Des conférences sur Mars sont également données conjointement avec la Société astronomique néerlandaise. Enfin, MS PB coopère avec la  à des manifestations sur Mars.

MS PB a été impliqué dans des projets internationaux de la  depuis le début, et elle soutient la coopération européenne dans les projets spatiaux.

Artemis Westenberg, présidente de MS PB, après avoir été impliquée dans le soutien de mission pour les bases de simulation de la  depuis plusieurs années, assume depuis 2008 la responsabilité de Directeur de Mission pour la Mars Desert Research Station, gérant tous les aspects de cette base dans l'Utah.

Allemagne : .
La section allemande de la  ( - MSD) a été fondée en 2001. La MSD est enregistrée en Allemagne comme une association à but non lucratif. Les membres inscrits versent une cotisation annuelle. Les activités de la MSD sont axées sur les aspects techniques de projets scientifiques et plus particulièrement celui du ballon sonde Martien ARCHIMEDES. Le principal moyen de communication avec les membres et le grand public est son site web avec des informations sur le projet ARCHIMEDES, des publications sur Mars et d'autres sujets spatiaux, des actualités, qui peuvent être commentées par les visiteurs du site, et le Forum de l'Espace.

Le conseil d'administration de MSD est composé de cinq membres. Depuis , son président est Michael Danielidis, Dr. en physique spatiale. La mise au point d'ARCHIMEDES est dirigée par l'ingénieur Hannes Griebel, qui est également membre du conseil d'administration de MSD.

ARCHIMEDES est actuellement en cours de développement. C'est le projet majeur de la MSD depuis 2001. En 2006, des essais en vol ont été entrepris pour tester le nouveau système de ballon en faible gravité. Les essais ont été jusqu'à présent effectués soit dans un Airbus A300 pendant des vols paraboliques de courte durée, soit lors de campagnes d'essai de fusées sonde REXUS3-REGINA et REXUS4-MIRIAM pour les tests de plus longue durée dans des conditions spatiales. D'autres tests de vol sont prévus pour les prochaines années avec l'objectif de qualifier ARCHIMEDES pour sa mission vers Mars en 2018. ARCHIMEDES sera envoyé vers Mars à bord d'une sonde martienne de type AMSAT ou d'un satellite similaire. ARCHIMEDES est développé par la MSD avec l'appui des Forces Armées Allemandes à Neubiberg près de Munich, de l'IABG à Ottobrunn, de DLR-Moraba pour les lancements de fusées, d'autres universités, et de plusieurs entreprises industrielles pour certains points techniques.

France : Association Planète Mars.
La section française de la  a été fondée en 1999 comme « Association Planète Mars ». C'est un organisme à but non lucratif (association ) ayant son siège à Paris. Son fondateur est Richard Heidmann, ingénieur en propulsion spatiale, qui a participé au congrès de fondation de la Mars Society en  et qui est membre du  de la . Il en a été son président pendant plus de dix ans avant de céder sa place à Alain Souchier, également ingénieur en propulsion spatiale.

Tout en appuyant pleinement les idées et les actions de la , elle estime que celles-ci doivent être adaptées au contexte culturel et politique de la France et l'Europe.

L'Association Planète Mars exerce son activité principalement dans la communication au public par des conférences, des expositions, des événements, des interventions dans les médias (TV, radio, magazines). Elle agit aussi occasionnellement en tant que conseiller pour des journalistes ou des cinéastes.
Chaque fois que possible, elle coopère avec d'autres associations ou organismes de sensibilisation aux sciences, ce qui lui permet de renforcer son action et d'atteindre un public plus large.

L'association Planète Mars fait un effort particulier pour attirer l'intérêt des jeunes. 25 % de ses membres cotisants ont moins de . Elle développe des expériences de tutorat et propose des projets liés à Mars pour les étudiants en ingénierie. L'association encourage la formation de groupes de travail sur des sujets divers. Aujourd'hui, trois groupes sont actifs, respectivement sur la Sécurité de mission, l'Architecture martienne et les Aspects médicaux. Elle a participé à plusieurs missions dans les bases de simulation MDRS et FMARS, développant en particulier un prototype de « Véhicule d'exploration de paroi ».

Un autre domaine d'action est le lobbyisme, tant au sein du personnel politique et institutionnel en France qu'au niveau européen (Conseil Européen, ESA). À l'occasion des événements importants, elle publie des documents politiques pour exposer son point de vue, et les distribue tant aux décideurs qu'à la presse. Cela a été notamment le cas en , à la suite de l'initiative américaine d'exploration spatiale, et en  en vue du conseil ministériel de l'ESA.

Italie : .
La section italienne de la  () a été fondée en 2005. Son siège est à Curno (Bergamo), près de Milan, et son président est Antonio Del Mastro, entrepreneur et propriétaire d'une société de conseil en ingénierie.

La  italienne réalise des activités de vulgarisation scientifique relatives à la Planète Rouge. Elle collabore avec les autres sections européennes de la  pour bâtir un réseau de connaissances dont l'objectif est de développer l'intérêt des Européens pour l'exploration de Mars.

Belgique : .
L'association a été créée au début de l'année 2009.

Pologne :  (MSP).
 (MSP) participe à la création de l'industrie spatiale polonaise. Puisque ce secteur est encore en développement, elle veut saisir l'opportunité d'y créer une composante martienne. La Pologne était le dernier état membre de l'UE à signer l'accord de coopération avec l'ESA. La plupart des projets se concentrent sur la technologie des satellites. MSP est la principale organisation à promouvoir l'exploration et les vols spatiaux habités. Outre des sponsors privés, elle s'appuie sur les ressources acquises par le ministère des Sciences et de l'Enseignement supérieur et les autorités locales (qui proposent des projets plus accessibles au grand public).

Son premier projet a été un rover pressurisé. Il a surtout permis le développement de la Mars Society polonaise, sur la base d'actions éducatives dans les écoles polonaises. Ensuite, la MSP a été coorganisatrice de l'édition polonaise du concours «  », et elle a lancé un jeu sur la colonisation de Mars (). En 2007, elle a organisé le premier Festival martien, un évènement de deux jours auquel ont participé six cents visiteurs, et Discovery Channel en tant que sponsor principal. Mars  a été un événement moins important en raison des efforts importants mis dans d'autres projets, en particulier celui du rover polonais, nommé « Skarabeusz ».

Le projet principal de MSP est maintenant l'habitat martien polonais. Il est basé sur un concept de l'architecte Janek Kozicki. Il consiste en trois modules gonflables joints, avec une surface utilisable de  et sera construit et placé à proximité d'une grande ville. Ce projet sera donc accessible à un large public et aux médias.

La MSP a établi une présence constante dans les principaux médias polonais, et travaille à la réalisation d'un documentaire de présentation. Elle développe également des logiciels . Jan Kotlarz de MSP a créé un logiciel RODM pour la modélisation de la surface de Mars basé sur des photos haute-résolution de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, RODM est actuellement testé par la NASA et l'ESA.

Royaume-Uni : .
La  est la section la plus ancienne de la  en dehors des États-Unis. Elle a tenu sa première réunion publique le , à Londres. Le professeur Colin Pillinger, chef du projet Beagle 2, était le principal orateur. L'événement a d'autant plus marqué que c'était la première fois que Beagle 2 était présenté au grand public au Royaume-Uni. De 1998 à 2003, la  (MSUK) a continué à soutenir Beagle 2, organisant de nombreuses manifestations publiques au cours desquelles les membres de l'équipe du projet Beagle 2 s'exprimaient. La maquette de Beagle 2 y était exposée.

 MSUK a accueilli la première réunion des dirigeants des  européennes, avec des représentants de France, d'Allemagne, de Pologne, d'Espagne et des Pays-Bas.
 Elle a organisé en 2002 un « Jour martien », suivi par quelque deux cents personnes. L'événement a été couvert par les principales télévisions du Royaume-Uni (BBC, ITN, Sky News).
 En 2003, elle a fait accepter et publier des documents par le gouvernement britannique dans le cadre d'un réexamen de la politique spatiale du Royaume-Uni. Elle a aussi  milité pour la participation du Royaume-Uni dans les projets de vols spatiaux habités.
 Depuis 2006, elle a participé au comité de décision du Prix Arthur Clarke, une des récompenses les plus prestigieuses accordée au Royaume-Uni pour contribution dans les domaines de la recherche et de l'exploration spatiale. Elle a également produit des consultations et Livres blancs sur les changements de politique spatiale du Royaume-Uni et a contribué à la décision du gouvernement britannique de s'engager activement dans les vols spatiaux habités à partir de 2010.
 Elle est actuellement engagée dans une nouvelle révision de la politique spatiale du Royaume-Uni visant à déterminer le besoin pour le Royaume-Uni de disposer d'une agence spatiale dédiée.

Plus récemment, la MSUK a participé à l'effort de plusieurs organismes et personnalités pour organiser une Conférence sur l'Espace au Royaume-Uni (UK Space Conference - UKSC). Une première réunion constitutive a eu lieu en .

Espagne : Mars Society Espana.

Suisse : .
La  (MSS) a été créée en  par Pierre Brisson, un des membres fondateurs de la  et membre du conseil d'administration de l'Association Planète Mars (France). Elle couvre l'ensemble des territoires suisses de langues française et allemande. Elle maintient des liens étroits avec l'Association Planète Mars.

Elle veut convaincre le public suisse de l'intérêt de l'exploration de Mars et de la faisabilité de cette exploration aussi bien par vols habités que par vols robotiques, en utilisant les concepts de la théorie dite «  » telle qu'exposée par Robert Zubrin. Elle veut rassembler autour des scientifiques suisses travaillant sur Mars, toutes les personnes qui partagent leur intérêt pour l'exploration de cette planète.

Elle a participé, par une « session martienne », au huitième  (8SGM) qui a regroupé les géologues suisses en  à Fribourg sur le thème «  ».

En , elle a coorganisé, avec le Space Center de l'EPFL le  , sur le thème «  ».

Du  au , elle a été l'hôte, à Neuchâtel, de la  européenne sur Mars (EMC11), qui a été l'occasion de faire le point sur l'avancée de l'exploration et les modalités du voyage par vols robotiques et habités. EMC11 a regroupé  de spécialistes dans tous les domaines intéressés par l'exploration de Mars et deux débats avec la Presse (Le Temps et Beobachter Natür). Les abstracts des présentations et le compte rendu sont accessibles sur le site de l'association.

Le , elle a organisé à Berne, au Musée d'histoire naturelle, une conférence, «  », centrée sur une présentation du  Maeder, astrophysicien bien connu de l'université de Genève qui a publié fin 2011 L'unique Terre habitée ? (éditions Favre). Cette présentation a été suivie de celle du  Hofmann, chef du Département des Sciences de la terre au Musée d'histoire naturelle de Berne, qui a présenté son fichier des formes primitives de vie (terrestres) qui doit servir de base de comparaisons pour la prochaine mission au sol, ExoMars, de l'ESA. Enfin, Pierre Brisson a fait le point sur la mission MSL.

Pierre Brisson a suscité une autre conférence, au Club 44 de la Chaux-de-Fonds, le . Cette conférence était centrée sur une présentation du  Cabane. Ce dernier (chercheur au LATMOS) est professeur émérite de l'université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie et responsable du chromatographe en phase gazeuse (GC) embarqué sur  (et à ce titre  du laboratoire SAM). Il a fait le point sur l'exploration du Cratère Gale et a montré au regard des dernières analyses de roches effectuées par les instruments de Curiosity, pourquoi on pouvait dire que la planète Mars avait été jadis habitable. Il a également présenté les questions qui se posent souvent sur la compréhension du milieu martien.

Une autre section de la  est également en cours de création au Luxembourg.

One of the response of British to the events of 1857 was to try and better categorize the people they ruled. They went around with their cameras and shot all kind of natives, all tribes, castes, races, religions, belonging to places all across the length and breadth of this land and put them in books and added neatly brief captions to these photographs describing in brief the 'must remember' of each native type. All this in hope that it would help them govern these people and more importantly the land better. One of the gigantic product of such an exercise was the eight volume series titled 'The People of India' published between 1868 and 1875. It's a pretty plain book, a book of colonial pen. But it is a picture book. And a picture book is always interesting. Interestingly, there are essentially two type of tribals captured in this famous colonial work: those natives that were still tied to their heathen faith, all looking, well, tribal, and those that had crossed over to Christ, looking like they have just had a fresh scrubbing and headed straight for their study desk.
Anyway, from various volumes of 'The people of India : a series of photographic illustrations, with descriptive letterpress, of the races and tribes of Hindustan' (1868) by John William Kaye, Meadows Taylor, J. Forbes Watson, here are photographs of some of the Kashmiris that one could come across in India back then.
"Zahore Begum is a Cashmere Mussulmani, and follows the profession of a courtezan. As may be supposed, her charecter is not very respectable. She belongs to the Soonee sect of Mussulmans.
She has a very fair complexion, black hair and eyes; she wears a black silk dress and yellow shawl; a diamond ring on her left thumb, cloth shoes, embroidered with gold and set with precious stones, and her silver anklets have small bells attached to them."
Pandit Aftab Rae. Hindoo Priest - Brahmin. Allyghur.
"Aftab Rae, like Ramnarain, is a Pundit, or expounder of the Hindoo scared books. He is a Brahmin of Cashmerian origin, but his family have lived at Lucknow for more than a century. He has himself resided in Allyghur and the neighbouring districts for nearly fifty years. Persons of this class are rarely to be met with in this part of Hindoostan. They are for the most part shrewd, clever, and designing. Their habits are migratory, generally seeking employment in the civil department under Government. They go any distance to obtain it. They are Brahmins by caste, and a keen-eyed, crafty race. Their food is mutton, fish, vegetables, and grain, but not beef; and they generally live to the age of seventy or eighty years. Aftab Rae is seventy years of age; his height is five feet six inches, complexion fair, hair and eyes grey."
Pundit Jowalla Nath. Brahmin. Saharunpoor.
"The gentleman here represented is a fine specimen of his class, a secular Brahmin, in the service of Government. Well educated and liberal in their ideas, they are for the most part above the narrpw-minded and exclusive sectarianism of Brahmins of religious or priestly profession, and prove most intelligent and valuable public officers. The Pundit is, or was, tehsildar, or collector of revenue of the Roorkee district. He is a native of the valley of Cashmere; and as will be evident from the Photograph, his features are of the highest class of Aryan charecter - identical, in fact, with the European; and the difference between them, and those of other Brahmins represented in this work, will be at once evident on comparison. Pundit Jowalla Natli is a person of essentially European mind. He has mastered the English language, which he both writes and speaks with a fluency and correctness rarely attamed by a foreigner ; and his honorary title of Pundit could only be assumed upon a high standard of proficiency in the Sanscrit literature of his own country.
which the Pundit belongs, are increasing in numbers and in influence ; but they can do little as yet, perhaps, to affect the ignorance and bigotry of their countrymen. "
Cashmiri From Cashmere. Mussulman. Simla.
"MAHOMEDAN merchants from Cashmere are very commonly met -with at Simla, and, indeed, in all the northern stations of India. They bring shawls, scarves, embroidered cloths, and other local manufactures for sale, as well as dried fruits, which are readily disposed of. The costume of the Cashmiris differs from that of ordinary Mahomedans of India. Instead of the tight and often ungraceful tunic, the garment shown in the Photograph, which is called chogha, is almost universally worn, especially in winter. The best are made of soft serge, or cloth, woven from the fine wool of the shawl goat, and the natural colours, brown, grey, or white, are preserved. These garments are frequently handsomely embroidered on the chest and shoulders, as also down the back, by silk or woollen braid in remarkably chaste patterns; and there is no class of Cashmere manufacture, perhaps, which more perfectly exhibits the exquisite taste of the artizans of the country, than these embroideries. They are never in varied colours, and the best effects are produced by braids in monotone, crimson upon white, dark grey upon light grey, and other combinations. These manufactures, both in shawls, scarves, cloaks, and even choghas, are now becoming known in Europe, and are to be found for sale in the shops of London and Paris shawl merchants; while in the beautiful collections of the India Museum, many specimens of the finest descriptions of work can be examined by those interested in Indian productions.
The Mahomedans of Cashmere are in no wise different from their brethren of Northern India. They are, for the most part, Soonnies, and have a strong admixture of Aftghan blood; but, as a rule, they are not a military class, nor have they ever been remarkable for the military spirit so abundantly displayed by Mahomedans elsewhere. They are, however, a fine, handsome race of people, and their women, who have not unfrequently fair, ruddy complexions, are esteemed very beautiful — the Circassians, as it were, of India. Since the sale of Cashmere to Golab Sing, the Rajah of Jummoo, by Sh H. Hardinge, in 1846, the oppressive character of the local administration has induced many of the shawl weavers and embroiderers to leave their native country, and settle in the northern cities of India ; and in most of them, colonies of native Cashmiris have been established, which subsist upon the manufacture of articles in local estimation; but the shawls have not the softness or beauty of those produced in Cashmere, and the best articles produced are perhaps the embroidered shawls, scarves, and choghas, before alluded to.
Cashmere was originally an independent Mahomedan kmgdom, but was conquered and attached to the imperial dommions by the Emperor Akbur in 1587, and was used by him and by his successors as a place of retreat from the summer heats of India. It passed from the Mahomedan rule to that of the Sikhs in 1818, and remained in then- possession till its sale to the Rajahs of Jummoo. Could the entire possession of the Punjab have been foreseen, it is not improbable that the beautiful valley might now have been a British province. "
"Diljan, the "heart of life," is like Wuzeerun, a Mahomedan courtezan. Her dress is black tunic, black silk trowsers, and Cashmere shawl."
Wuzeerun. Bazar woman. Mahomedan. Saharunpoor.
it may be disguised, prevents any open violation of them, and the customs formerly existent can hardly now escape punishment. "

Best 15 TMDB Alternatives Websites to Watch Movies and TV Shows Online
Alternatives to TMDB: TMDB, or TheMovieDB, is a non-profit organization that provides information about movies and television shows. You can find a film or TV series that you wish to watch online. Since 2008, TMDB has been the primary data source for metadata, including information on which movies were the most popular in a given year.
Metadata is what TMDB is. In its interface, you'll get the most up-to-date information on actors and actresses and information on the film's sales and why it was made.
TheMovieDB can also assist bloggers and content writers who want to write about a film or television show. Finally, TMDB is a film review service that allows users to watch movies and television series in high definition.
Best Sites TMDB Alternatives to Watch Movies and TV Shows Online
1. Primewire
Like TMDB, Primewire has its own website. You must first create a free document in order to watch movies or television shows. Logging in is as simple as it gets, just like in other sections. A simple blow of the wind is all it takes to create a blank document, which can then be filled out with the necessary information.
You can sort movies by the date they were released, as well as the date they were scored. Like 123Movies, the streaming quality here is also top-notch. That way, you can see the trailer before you sit down to watch the movie itself. The best information they provide is consumer feedback and an IMDB rating. PrimeWire is a fantastic choice for moviegoers from both Hollywood and India.
One of those "TMDB-like" sites. When compared to TMDB, it stands out; yet, the value it adds to this review astounds them. This is a venerable video-on-demand service that requires no registration and has a well-organized user interface.
It's still stuck in the dreaded stage of film streaming.
To watch the movie, click on the read option and select your preferred format. It will play all of the movies and also make a schedule based on the genre you select. views allows you to create a document so that you may experience all of its features.
3. GoStream
Movie streaming site GoStream is ad-free, much as TMDB. Try not to miss out on their watch now, as well as the opportunity to download and install. To watch a film, simply click on the image of the film and then play catch. Now, there is only one server dedicated to movie theatres.
You'll have to choose a new website to watch your favorite movie if your connection is down. Several advantages, such as no registration and rapid streaming, are similar to other film destinations. Despite this, the selection and quantity of films available are modest at the moment.
4. VexMovies
This is a real TMDB substitute called VexMovies. You won't have any problems watching your favorite movies down there. In addition to being easy to use, the user interface is handy. Instant access to your favorite movies is just a few clicks away thanks to options such as pressing an inquiry or using the search bar at 123movies.
The amount of scope that can be streamed is enormous. Click on the movie's thumbnail and then play catch to watch it. Additionally, the instant your film starts spitting, it will commence.
5. 123Movies
123Movies' most remarkable feature is that you can watch movies, TV shows, scenes, and anime all in one location. To view your favorite anime or TV shows, you no longer have to remember a long list of URLs.
Simply go to the top of the page and click on the "Style" option, which you'll find on the left side, and then select your preferred genre, such as "Action," "Dramatization," "Sport," and more," from the list that appears.
The quality of their streaming is excellent. Most of the time, I utilize this service to stream movies over the web. I hope you get my top pick from TMDB in the unlikely event that you do.
6. Fmovies
If you want to view movies and TV shows from all over the world, this is a great alternative to TMDB. The Fmovies user interface features a slew of advertisements, but none of them are very bothersome until you choose to click on them.
You may search for short films by genre, country, and year of release right here. Every subcategory on Fmovies has a big number of films and TV shows to choose from. We don't require any form of login or registration. It's a lot of fun to watch sporting events when you don't have to deal with annoying pop-ups.
If you're seeking for an alternative to TMDB's film database, give Fmovies a shot. You won't look anywhere else. It's worth mentioning that you can use it as your primary method of accessing free online streaming of entire movies and TV shows.
7. Hulu
A great site that I would like to list as a replacement for TMDB is Hulu. Hulu is the place to go if you want to watch a certain video. Even though it's a subscription service, you may try it out for a month at no cost to see if it's worth it to you.
Hulu is a benefit that allows you to watch TV shows and movies over the internet. More than 50 live channels can be requested and viewed on-demand. To appreciate Hulu's TV strategy, you must pay. It's possible to read Hulu on your workstation, as well as on AppleTV, Android, and Xbox One.
8. Couchtunerhub
Couchtunerhub is one of the best alternatives to TMDB that you'll find online. Couchtuner is well-known for providing high-quality locations for watching movies online and downloading them. It's possible to find links to other websites that supply all you need on Couchtuner. Direct movies can be viewed for free online.
9. YesMovies
Alternative TMDB is a well-known choice for movie buffs who want to watch movies and TV shows online for free in high definition (HD). You don't have to log in or download anything to view movies on YesMovies.

[254], Kasich came in second place in the New Hampshire primary on February 9, 2016, behind winner Trump. [218], Upon taking office in 2011, Kasich received criticism for appointing an initial all-white cabinet of 22 members. [27], One of his first acts as a State Senator was to refuse a pay raise. [185] In response to a debate question about how he would explain his position on same-sex marriage to one of his daughters if she were gay, Kasich responded, "The court has ruled, and I said we'll accept it. [125] In February 2017, Kasich again delayed Ohio executions for an additional three months, after a federal judge ruled that Ohio's three-drug lethal injection protocol is unconstitutional. [166], During Kasich's tenure, funding for traditional public schools declined by about $500 million, while funding for charter schools has increased at least 27 percent.

[206], In 2010, while running for governor, Kasich expressed support for amending the U.S. Constitution to abolish the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of jus soli (birthright) citizenship for people born in the United States. [112] Following this, Kasich created the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board "to address what he described as frustration and distrust among some Ohioans toward their police departments, particularly among the black community. It was then followed by a ceremonial inauguration at the Ohio Theatre at noon on the same day.[74]. [100] Specifically, Kasich's plan called for imposing a 6.5 percent severance tax on crude oil and natural gas extracted via horizontal drilling and sold at the source (about $3.25 per $50 barrel of oil), and for an additional 4.5 percent tax per thousand cubic feet on natural gas and liquefied natural gas (about $0.16 per thousand cubic feet).

[237][238][239] The veto was celebrated by voting rights advocates, Ohio Democrats, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial board, which viewed the proposal as effectively a "poll tax" motivated by a partisan desire to limit college-town voting. 4 She married John Kasich, who was a Congressman, in 1997 and they have 16-year-old twin daughters, Emma and Reese. 1988 Base Realignment and Closure Commission, U.S. military participation in the Lebanese Civil War, multilateral peacekeeping force in Bosnia, Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, 2000 Republican Party presidential primaries, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, University of Virginia Center for Politics, collateral consequences of criminal conviction, 2015 international nuclear agreement with Iran, Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn the decision, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as young children, refugees fleeing war and violence in Syria, executive order on travel and immigration, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, withheld U.S. aid from Ukraine in part to pressure the country to investigate Trump's domestic political rivals, Stand for Something: The Battle for America's Soul, It's Up to Us: Ten Little Ways We Can Bring About Big Change, List of United States Representatives from Ohio, Republican Party presidential candidates, 2016, List of John Kasich presidential campaign endorsements, 2016. "[208] Kasich was the only governor at the RGA conference "to express openly a willingness to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. "[181] As governor of Ohio, Kasich signed an executive order banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation for state employees; this was more narrow than the previous executive order signed by his predecessor because it omitted protections for gender identity. [235] In July 2015, Kasich said that it was "pure demagoguery" for Hillary Clinton to "say that there are Republicans who are deliberately trying to keep people from voting. [161], Kasich supports continued U.S. support of Saudi Arabia, but he criticized Saudi Arabia's "funding and teaching of radical clerics who are the very people who try to destroy us".

"[79] Kasich's friend Curt Steiner, former chief of staff to former Republican Ohio governor and U.S. senator George Voinovich, described Kasich as a "solid Republican" with "an independent streak. "[65], Republicans made efforts to recruit Kasich to run for Ohio governor in 2006, but he declined to enter the race. "[150], On March 31, 2011, in his first year as governor, Kasich signed into law Senate Bill 5, a controversial labor law which restricted collective bargaining rights of public employees, such as police officers, firefighters, and teachers. This veto won Kasich praise from environmentalist groups, and angered Republicans in the state legislature. [245], In May 2015, sources close to him had said he was "virtually certain" to run for the Republican nomination for president. [172], Kasich has said that the U.S. "should've left a base in Iraq" instead of withdrawing troops in 2011. [146] Ohio also increased its "rainy day fund" from effectively zero to more than $2 billion. [146], In March 2008, Kasich called for "phasing out" Ohio's state income tax. [38] He also "proposed a national commission on arms control" and "urged tighter controls over substances that could be used for biological warfare. An elector in Colorado also attempted to vote for him, but that vote was discarded; the elector was replaced by an alternate elector who voted, as pledged, for Hillary Clinton. [41] In 1997, with fellow Republican representative Floyd Spence, he introduced legislation (supported by some congressional Democrats) for the U.S. to pull out of a multilateral peacekeeping force in Bosnia. Clearing up the rumors, misinformation surrounding collective bargaining overhaul, Ohio voters overwhelmingly reject Issue 2, dealing a blow to Gov. If he did he would be disgraced in the Arab world. [270] The same month, Kasich's chief political advisors launched a political group, Two Paths America, in an effort to promote Kasich and his views and draw a contrast with Trump.

How To Control Rats Permanently From Your Place?
Pests are those animals that destroy your belongings and other important material stuff. Be it any kind of garden, farm or even home, rats and rodents are the pests that can really spoil all of them. In fact, pest control rats are vital in areas where there are rat infestations. Rats dig into the ground, wires, and tunnels and even through mattresses and rags. Hence it is vital to prevent this damage and curtail infestation. The best idea is to use different kinds of techniques to manage rats. However, it is vital that you consider some aspects, especially if you have a farm or garden.
The basic definition of organic farming includes reliance on techniques like green manure, crop rotation, biological pest control, compost in order to control the pest level and maintain the soil productivity on a farm. The use of fungicides, pesticides and fertilizers is restricted in organic farming. Thus, organic farming focuses on the sustenance of the health of ecosystems, people and most importantly the soil. It is here that rats are most vital as they have an easy access to your plants and garden.
All organic farmers should remember aspects like each insect is not pest or that each plant, which is out of the ordinary, is not a weed. Eradication of pests is important but to such an acceptable level that one can enjoy the basic advantages from pests too. Usually each organic farmer uses a combination of methods in order to avail the optimal level of benefit. In such cases, organic pest rats is suggested that makes use of natural ingredients to get rid of rats and other pests. A perfect example in this case for your better understanding would be the careful use of cultivation methods along with green manures for controlling of rats.
Unlike farms, the techniques of pest control in gardens is very different. Basically the garden area is frequently used by people living in the house. Hence, use of harsh chemicals is a big no. This becomes all the more sensitive issue where the kids or even the pets of the house frequently use the garden. However, rats need to be curtailed here or else they can penetrate from the ground to your home too. In such cases, natural pest control methods are used with limited use of fertilizers. It is advisable to hire experts in the process of rat control rather than doing it yourself because the process is too complicated.
One of the most complicated spaces to handle infestation of rats is the indoor space because rats tend to dig very deep holes and tunnels and get into deeper spaces. As a result, reaching out there is a troublesome task. Moreover, post the rats control are done, you need to make sure that the area is cleaned well. If that is not done then the smell of dead rats gets easily spread out and reaches to other areas of the house or the building. In case of high rises or tall buildings, a map of the plan or sewage system becomes essential.
Methods like trying to catch the rat through mouse-traps is very difficult. In such cases it is highly recommended not to wait and instantly opt for pest control rats. Since rats multiply at a very fast pace, it is vital to curtail the problem at the earliest.
Make sure that those who are allergic to chemicals or these sprays should be warned or use masks. Since the duct air conditioning systems release the gas into the air again, it is crucial that steps to curtain this smell be implied.
If you want to get ride the rats permanently from your home or garden and office space. Hiring the rats pest control services is now very easy with the online portals. So, make sure that you take out time and do enough research to get the best.

H-1B Employers Must Prove Employer-Employee Relationship
As of April 22, 2011, the USCIS has accepted approximately 8,000 petitions subject to the 65,000-cap and 5,900 out of the 20,000 H-1B master's cap. If the trend for this fiscal year follows that of 2008 and 2009, 25-30% of these H-1B petitions will be the subject of a request for evidence (RFE). This is double the RFE rate for 2007.
An RFE is sent when an adjudications officer needs additional information on the pending petition or application. One of the main reasons for the increase in RFEs is the January 2010 guidance on employer-employee relationships issued by Donald Neufeld, USCIS Associate Director for Service Center Operations.
The Neufeld Memorandum requires an H-1B petitioner to show not only that the foreign national will work in a specialty occupation, but also that a valid employer-employee relationship will exist between the petitioner and beneficiary during the H-1B validity period.
An employer-employee relationship exists when the employer has the right to control the manner in which the services are to be performed by the employee. In the H-1B context, such a relationship may be lacking in certain instances where the beneficiary performs work at off-site locations or for third parties.
The memorandum lists eleven questions that must be addressed in order to establish an employer's right to control, including whether or not the petitioner will supervise the beneficiary on-site; hire, pay and have the ability to fire the beneficiary; provide employee benefits; and evaluate the beneficiary's work product.
The USCIS analyzes the evidence with a view to the "totality of circumstances". The H-1B petitioner will pass the employment relationship test if it can prove its right to control the beneficiary's employment, if not the actual exercise thereof.
The Neufeld Memo illustrates through different scenarios which types of relationships would be valid or approvable and which ones would not be eligible for H-1B status. The first type of valid relationship pertains to a traditional employment scenario where the petitioner exercises actual control over the beneficiary's employment. In this scenario, the beneficiary works at a location owned or leased by the petitioner, is given benefits and compensated as an employee by the petitioner for tax purposes.
The three other examples of valid relationships involve placement at off-site or third-party work locations and vary according to whether the placement is short- or long-term. In these situations, the petitioner must clearly show its right of control through documentary evidence such as the employment agreement, contracts with its clients, pay stubs, and proof that petitioner reviews the beneficiary's work product.
The memorandum also lists examples of situations where the employer-employee relationship is absent. Self-employment – where there is no employing entity that can exercise control over the beneficiary's work – is not approvable for H-1B employment. Independent contractors do not have the status of employees and are not subject to the control of the petitioner.
Third-party placement or "job shops", under which most staffing scenarios fall, also fail the control test and do not qualify for H-1B status, according to the USCIS memo.
Even when the I-129 petition is for an extension and not for initial H-1B employment, the USCIS requires evidence that the petitioner continues to have the right to control the beneficiary's work.
The latest version of Form I-129 contains revisions that reflect this stricter policy. The employer must make additional attestations if the beneficiary is assigned off-site and include an itinerary with the petition.
The USCIS issued the Neufeld Memo after Congressional scrutiny in response to a 2008 report that showed that 21% of H-1B petitions contained either fraud or technical violations.
Since its release, the memorandum has drastically changed the way certain types of H-1B petitions and extensions are adjudicated. The Neufeld Memo particularly impacts IT staffing and consulting companies but has been shown to result in unintended consequences for other types of employers.

Senators Urge Obama to Grant Relief to DREAM Act Students
Twenty-two U.S. Democratic senators recently wrote a letter to President Obama asking him to take executive action in light of the DREAM Act's failure in the Senate four months ago.
The Senators, headed by Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, urged the President to defer immigration enforcement proceedings for students who may benefit from the DREAM Act. Under the proposal, these students must meet requirements necessary to be eligible for cancellation of removal or a stay of removal under the DREAM Act.
The letter, dated April 13, 2011, reminded the President that he may exercise prosecutorial discretion in light of the government's law enforcement priorities and limited resources. The Senators also noted that both the Bush and Obama administrations have granted deferred action to a number of students on a case-by-case basis.
In asking for deferred action for eligible students, the Senators called the President out on his position at his last State of the Union Address, where he asked Congress to "stop expelling talented, responsible people … who could be further enriching this nation".
The senators said that they would also support other measures short of granting deferred action on all DREAM Act students, such as establishing a formal process for applying for deferred action, creating a reporting and tracking mechanism for DREAM Act cases, and granting deferred action as early as possible in each individual case.
It may be remembered that last year, the House of Representatives passed the DREAM Act (less commonly known as the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act). It garnered the majority support of 55 votes at the Senate but was unsuccessful in overcoming a Republican filibuster.
Deferred action is a type of relief granted in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion not to pursue the removal or deportation of an alien for a specific period of time. It is a purely administrative act which may not be reviewed by courts.
While it does not confer immigration status, deferred action prevents the immigration authorities from seeking removal during the period of effectivity and makes the alien eligible for work authorization.
The USCIS grants deferred action on a case-by-case basis. Years ago, I was involved as an attorney in securing deferred departure status for hundreds of nurses – most of them from the Philippines – who were facing deportation for failing their licensure exams or changing employers without authorization. After several meetings with the INS Commissioner and other top INS officials, we obtained an agreement giving the nurses deferred departure status in 6-month increments up to a maximum of 3 years, and they were restored to lawful status after passing their licensure exams.
The USCIS has allowed deferred action for Haitian earthquake victims and foreign academic students impacted by Hurricane Katrina. It also grants deferred action in U visa cases which involve substantial physical or mental abuse.
It is estimated that 65,000 undocumented students finish high school each year. However, because they lack immigration status, many of these students are not able to attend college, and even when they do, they are unable to find work after graduation. The DREAM Act aims to address their plight by giving them a path to permanent resident status.
Passage of the DREAM Act by Congress is the humanitarian response to the hardship faced by these blameless immigrant students. Failing that and in the interim, deferred action by the Obama administration is a commendable alternative.

Switching Jobs Amidst the Visa Retrogression
Immigrant workers facing significant backlogs in their adjustment of status applications (I-485) because of the visa retrogression may change jobs when certain eligibility requirements are met.
These requirements are spelled out under the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21) which was passed in 2000. The I-485 application must have been pending for 180 days or more and the new job is in the "same or similar occupational classification" as the job for which the employment-based immigrant visa petition (EB1, EB2 or EB3) was filed.
The 180-day period refers to calendar days and begins from the date the I-485 application was received by the USCIS according to the receipt notice.
The "same or similar occupational classification" condition is a little less black and white. A recent guidance from the USCIS dated April 7, 2011, clarified that in determining whether this requirement is met, the USCIS will look at the totality of the circumstances and compare several factors. These factors include but are not limited to the job duties of both positions, the SOC codes for the position in the I-140 petition and for the new position, and the wages associated with each position.
The SOC code pertains to the Standard Occupational Classification system used by the Department of Labor in grouping and classifying jobs and occupations. Occupations are generally categorized on the basis of type of work performed, as well as the skills, education and training required to perform the job. There are currently 840 detailed occupations under which all workers fall. These are categorized into 461 broad occupations, 97 minor groups and 23 major groups.
As an example, a physical therapist position is assigned the SOC code of 29-1123. The first two digits [29] represent the major group of healthcare practitioners and technical occupations (which group includes health technologists and technicians); the third digit [1] represents the minor group health diagnosing and treating practitioners (which includes physicians, pharmacists and dentists); the fourth and fifth digits [12] refer to the broad occupation of therapists (which includes occupational therapists and speech pathologists) ; and the last digit [3] represents the detailed occupation of physical therapists.
The USCIS has said that it will analyze the SOC codes of the two jobs without necessarily matching any particular order of digits in the two codes.
According to a 2005 USCIS Memorandum on AC21, a "substantial discrepancy" in the wages of the two jobs may be a contributing factor in a denial when the evidence is considered in its totality, but officers are advised not to deny a case solely on the difference in wages.
Where the employee did not change employers but accepted a different position or received a promotion or demotion, the guidance states that the job duties must be sufficiently similar. The USCIS said that it will evaluate these situations on a case-by-case basis and with consideration to the totality of the circumstances.
Sometimes, both the I-140 petition and I-485 application remain pending for 180 days or more after they are concurrently filed. In such a case, the worker is not automatically entitled to portability. The USCIS must first review the I-140 petition and see if it is, or would have been, approvable, before adjudicating the I-485 application to determine if the new position is the same or similar occupational classification.

Arizona-Style Immigration Laws Lose Steam
April 23rd marks the first year anniversary of the passage of Arizona's controversial anti-immigration law, SB 1070. One year ago, election campaign was under way and anti-immigrant sentiment was running high as many politicians made stricter immigration laws a battle cry.
Immigrant advocacy and civil rights groups criticized SB 1070 as legalizing racial profiling, while restrictionists and anti-illegal immigration groups lauded the State's draconian initiative. The fate of SB1070 will be determined once a federal appeals court issues a ruling, although many predict that regardless of the decision, the legislation will likely reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
Lawsuits have prevented the most controversial parts of the Arizona law from being enforced but this has not prevented other states from proposing legislation mimicking it. Arizona-style bills have been proposed in many states in the past year.
Recently however, in at least ten states these legislative proposals have failed. The legislatures of Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Virginia, Wyoming and, most recently, Mississippi, have all rejected similar anti-immigration legislation, at least for the time being.
One of the more closely-watched of these states was Mississippi, where the package of about 30 immigration bills advanced included proposals imposing an English-language requirement in obtaining a state driver's license and denying public benefits to the undocumented population. The most contentious of these bills is SB 2179 which would allow stop-and-search enforcement and criminalize failure to carry an alien registration document, provisions not unlike the ones in the Arizona law. This bill quietly died in the legislature recently after failing to meet a deadline.
Even within Arizona, it seems that the anti-immigrant bug has failed to catch on as a new slew of immigration bills was killed at the state Senate. Some of the proposals in these unsuccessful bills would require the eviction of anyone on public housing who lives with an illegal immigrant, criminalize driving by an undocumented immigrant, and require medical practitioners to report undocumented immigrants.
Many believe that Arizona's SB 1070 and copycat legislation would not survive at the Supreme Court. One of the strongest legal arguments against these laws is the doctrine of "preemption" which is rooted in the U.S. Constitution's supremacy clause.
Essentially, this means that when it comes to immigration policy, federal law takes precedence over state-enacted regulation. The 14th Amendment also presents a significant legal hurdle to nativist legislation denying birthright citizenship.
Many immigrant supporters also raise the economic case against anti-immigrant laws, aside from the obvious potential civil rights violations that may arise from their enforcement. It is estimated that Arizona suffered a loss of more than $250 million from the economic boycotts in the wake of SB 1070, in addition to the government's litigation costs in the seven lawsuits challenging the legislation. The mayor of Phoenix predicts that SB1070 would cost the city at least $90 million over 5 years.
In 2008, the economic analysis firm Perryman Group found that that if all of the country's 8.1 million undocumented immigrants left the U.S., the economy would lose about $2.8 trillion in annual spending.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge comes with a sleek design and a set of powerful specs, but the reason it's become so popular among users worldwide so quickly is because of its curved display. Not only does the screen look great, but it also shows off notifications, missed alerts, and updates (Information Stream), and acts like your bedside clock (Night Clock).
To activate this feature, go to the phone's settings and then tap on Edge Screen. Scroll down and toggle Information Stream on. Next, tap Manage Feeds to choose what you want the edges to display – Twitter Trends (trending hashtags and topics), Briefing Feed (your phone's notifications), Yahoo News, Yahoo Sports, and Yahoo Finance. Check the boxes to enable the feeds, and tap on Reorder to move them around.
You can also adjust the screen timeout for Information Stream (15 seconds to 10 minutes), and even customize certain features (stocks and sports). To move through different feeds, simply swipe up and down the edges of the screen.
Another feature that uses the curved sides of the Galaxy S6 Edge, but instead of news updates you get to see a clock with a dimmed screen (so that it doesn't bother you during the night) and your next alarm on the edges. To set it up, go to the Edge Screen settings and then Night Clock. Once there, choose when you want the clock to appear/disappear each night.

Colombia elects new president in historic voting round
by Adriaan Alsema June 17, 2018
Colombia's voters take to the polls on Sunday for a presidential election that is likely to have major consequences for peace in the country.
The front-runner in the race, conservative dynasty-politician Ivan Duque, has vowed to unilaterally change a 2016 peace deal with the now-demobilized FARC guerrillas, a move widely seen as the death blow to an extremely fragile peace process.
Duque is also expected to end peace talks with ELN rebels and propose hard-line measures to curb the cultivation of coca, the base ingredient for cocaine, that has skyrocketed.
His opponent, Gustavo Petro, is a former guerrilla who demobilized with a different group decades ago. He wants to revive the process, reduce poverty, combat corruption and seek the reduction of crime through social policies.
The polls are unanimous; Petro doesn't stand a chance. His grass-roots movement of minority groups, victim organizations and students is unlikely to defeat the political powerhouses that support Duque, the protege of controversial former President Alvaro Uribe.
Latest election polls
Vicious election race
The election race that began months before legislative elections in March has been one of the most peaceful in history, despite violent incidents in which angry mobs attacked leftist candidates.
At least two rallies of Uribe were disturbed by protests. Petro was attacked, allegedly with firearms, in Cucuta.
The electoral process had been agitated by massive amounts of disinformation on social media and promoted by far-right politicians campaigning from the fringes.
Election observers have warned that hate speech could escalate in more political violence.
Duque has refused to take part in second round election debates, which has led to major criticism from election observers and political scientists.
Colombia's observers condemn lack of election debates
Concerns over irregularities
The country's largest illegal armed group, the AGC, did not announce a ceasefire, but have generally respected elections. Rebel group ELN announced a four-day unilateral ceasefire to allow the voting process.
The National Police announced Saturday that more than 120,000 policemen will be on the street and near polling stations to guarantee security.
International observers arrived in Colombia days ago already to monitor the elections. The Electoral Observation Mission (MOE) deployed thousands of volunteers to monitor polling stations.
National electoral authorities have come under fire over major fraud claims they have refused to investigate.
The polling stations will be open between 8AM and 4PM local time. Results are expected within hours after the polls close.
