Looking forward Drought plans are a vital tool for producers
"If a drought plan lives in Dad's head and that's the only place it exists, it's not a drought plan," stated Dallas Mount, University of Wyoming Extension educator.
"We need to have this plan written down, communicated and agreed upon by all the parties who are involved with the ranch before an operation goes through a drought," continued Mount.
Mount spoke at the Wyoming Department of Agriculture Drought Contingency Workshop webinar May 6 to help ranching operations develop a drought contingency plan for their grazing permits.
Mount mentioned that the drought plan does not need to be a lengthy document written by a lawyer but something that everyone who is involved on an operation can agree upon. It should also be recorded on a piece of paper.
"One of the things that needs to be in a drought plan is a destocking strategy," said Mount. "Producers need to determine which animals are going to be the first to leave, the next in line to leave and then the animals that are the last to leave."
Mount noted that a destocking strategy needs to involve selling, or even relocating, some animals.
"Rarely does it work to look at a drought plan that involves feeding animals as a profitable strategy," warned Mount. "If producers start feeding animals, especially for anything longer than 30 days, in terms of a drought management strategy, it really turns negative in a hurry."
Drought plans should also encompass target dates as to when critical decisions need to be made for an operation to implement a drought plan.
Mount advised producers to conduct research and determine the best timing and resources an operation has to determine precipitation and soil moisture levels, as well as carrying capacity and stocking rates.
"Drought plans also need to deal with people," commented Mount. "A ranch that has 500 cows and two employees might reduce to 150 cows and one employee in the time of a drought."
He added, "We need to have those employment strategies outlined in a drought plan ahead of time so that people who are working on an operation – those who are relying on the operation for income sources – are aware that during a drought, they might have to find a job somewhere else."
"The most significant component of a drought plan as far as people are concerned is the emotional part," noted Mount. "Drought is extremely emotionally draining to those folks who are operating the land."
"Having to sell off animals that they have spent a lifetime building and matching the animals to their environment, seeing the stress on other people in their lives, feeling responsible to provide a cash flow to those folks who are involved can really get to a person" added Mount.
Mount advised that producers need to get on the front end of drought and make a drought plan before a drought occurs.
"When producers are in the middle of the throes of a drought, the emotional side of it can really cloud their decision making," warned Mount.
Mount further stated financial aspects are another important issue to address in a drought plan.
"Generally when producers are in a drought and are selling their livestock, they are not in a financial crisis during those drought years," commented Mount, "due to the ranch's cash income from selling the livestock."
"The net worth of the operation has not really changed, though, because the producer has just traded their livestock for cash," said Mount. "However, we need to have a financial plan to manage that cash, so if at some point in the future they choose to put that cash back into livestock, it will be there."
"Generally, it's a year to two years after the drought that the financial hardship really happens as producers are trying to restock the ranch," warned Mount.
Range health
Mount mentioned range health as another point to address in a drought plan.
Producers should be very cautious about not overgrazing their rangelands during the time of a drought. Effects of overgrazing during drought years can be catastrophic, and producers could deal with poor rangelands for the next decade as a result.
"A really good objective might be to look at the long-term monitoring of the land and plant population, so we keep the most productive plants in good health through the drought," stated Mount.
"The last thing to think about for a drought plan is signatures," stated Mount. "Folks who need to sign the drought plan are the people who have a significant stake in the business, especially if they have an ownership interest or a managerial stake in the business."
"The signature part is the major part of the drought plan," he continued. "It says they have read and understood the drought plan and are willing to be pro-active in the operation's drought planning."
"People need to sign the drought plan to show this is the plan that needs to be implemented if conditions get bad enough when a drought starts to occur," said Mount. "They also need to seriously consider enacting the plan when an operation is lacking in precipitation and forage around those target dates."

Inspiring Others—What an Inspiration!
Posted on November 7, 2011 by Tina Turbin
I consider myself truly blessed for the kind words I hear from Danny the Dragon fans. They write in to tell me how special Danny is to them and their families. It's quite something to see that something from my own imagination can capture the imaginations of so many children!
My favorite feedback I get, however, is from aspiring authors (kids and grown-ups alike) who not only enjoy my Danny the Dragon series but are inspired by my story of how I became an award-winning children's author.
Take a look at the review below to see how I've inspired aspiring writer Theresa, mother of eight children (wow!) and product reviewer for Faith and FamilyReviews:

Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy,Rave Review by the Chicago Examiner
Posted on October 13, 2011 by Miranda
I was honored and touched by the review of the first book in my children's book series, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, by book critic Gerardine Baugh of the Chicago Examiner. She had nothing but praise for my story, its themes, and the award-winning illustrations by Aija Jasuna.
Among her many kind words, Ms. Baugh wrote, "Each time a child opens this book they will see something to count, or laugh over…I recommend this book as a birthday or holiday gift, or just a special bedtime gift. What a sweet way to lull your child to sleep."
Regarding its themes, she wrote, that she "was equally impressed by how the writer, Tina Turbin, who in her story telling, showed me this sweet family working together and helping each other with manners and love…" I'm so glad that Ms. Baugh has appreciated the theme of family togetherness in my book. As the mother of three (now grown) children, it's important for me to pass on to my readers the importance of mutual kindness and helping as ingredients in a strong, happy family.

Multi Award-Winning Children's Author Tina Turbin Takes First Place For Best Illustrations In Prestigious Book Contest
Posted on October 3, 2011 by Tina Turbin
Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy has received yet another prestigious award.
Los Angeles,CA-
The multi-award winning illustrated kids book Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy by Tina Turbin has received yet another prestigious award, Five Star Publication's First Prize for Best Illustrations for its illustrations by Aija Jasuna.
The first book in Tina Turbin's illustrated kids book series, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy has already received numerous accolades from a number of esteemed awards programs including the iParenting Media Awards, Mom's Choice Awards, International Book Awards and the Indie Excellence Book Awards. The picture book tells the story of how Jimmy and his family chance upon Danny the Dragon and his traveling companion, Skipper, and their charming ensuing friendship. It is celebrated for its pro-family themes and messages about kindness.
News of Turbin's recent honor has appeared in the SanTan Sun News , a wide-circulation newspaper based in the greater Phoenix metro area. The Annual Five Star Publication Purple Dragonfly Awards, which honors excellence in children's literature, is an extremely highly competitive contest. "Winning any place in the Purple Dragonfly Contest is a huge honor," explains Linda Radke, president of Five Star Publications, the sponsor of the Dragonfly Book Awards. "Competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print."
Turbin's illustrations were enthusiastically praised by the judges who praised them as "outstanding." They went on to say, "Not only are the illustrations charming and expertly rendered, the paintings practically leap off the page! Rather than static or two-dimensional, they are full-bodied, full of movement and motion. They speak well to the story and would engage the imagination of old and young alike. An excellent job!"
Turbin has just wrapped up her West Coast book tour and handling the enormous media interested she attracted with the launch of a revolutionary iPad app for deaf children with iStoryTime, the app developer for How to Train Your Dragon. Turbin's app features sign language interpretation for the first book in her series, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy as well as available for the iPhone.
"It's such an honor to have been recognized by the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards," Turbin said. Turbin searched far and wide with uncompromising standards for an illustrator who could bring her vision of Danny the Dragon to life, connecting with Aija in Latvia, Europe. "It's so gratifying to see the book and illustrations have resonated so deeply with another judging panel as they have with our public. It really goes to show that the author and illustrator are quite a team in picture books."

Rotary Club of Cortlandt Manor
Annsville WWII Monument Rededication
The Annsville WWII Monument Rededication lists those who proudly served in our country's Armed Services, preserving our freedoms, in WWII hailing from Annsville (known as Anns Kill under the Dutch). The Rotary Club of Cortlandt Manor proudly unveiled this commemoration of our WWII veterans on the Sunday of Memorial day weekend, May 29th 2016.
It was a neglected piece of property, overrun by weeds, no longer visible from the Old Albany Post Road, so forgotten that even some of the wait staff at the Cortlandt Colonial located across the street did not know existed. That was the condition of the Annsville WWII Monument located at the corner of Dogwood Road & Albany Post Road in Cortlandt Manor, NY. It lists those who proudly served in our country's Armed Services, preserving our freedoms, in WWII hailing from Annsville (known as Anns Kill under the Dutch)
Rita Sharples, newly installed as President of the Cortlandt Rotary in 2014, set out to restore the monument to its former glory. She visions the clean up of the monument as a goal of her tenure as President. It had been attempted in small ways since 2010.
Sharon Irving, Cortlandt Rotary Charter President, then pitched in. Maryellen Rose expanded the search for information on the veterans. Rita also enlisted the resources of The District 7230, which comprises 46 clubs and over 1300 Rotarian's. They contributed a grant to help defray the costs.
Jose Patino, a local landscaper and owner of NYS landscaping helped in cleaning up the monument
So under a beautiful blue sky on Sunday of Memorial day weekend, the Cortlandt Manor Rotary re-dedicated the WWII Monument which honored known Annsville residents who enlisted in the US military.
The Ceremony opened with the Invocation by the community service minded WHUD Radio Personality Kacy Morabito Grean. Rita Sharples then welcomed all for coming and showing their respect. All stood as a beautiful Presentation of the Colors was made by the Peekskill American Legion Post #274. The American flag was raised by Ruth Booth Dale. As patriots did then, she persistently put the American flag up every morning at the old wooden monument. It was located at the Southeast corner of Old Albany Post Road and Sprout Brook Road in Cortlandt Manor (formerly known as Annsville).Then retired it each evening until the monument was moved. Eugene Booth had an old photograph of the post WWII wooden monument prior to the building of the newer monument where it is presently located.
Inga and Linda Jamison, daughters of Willis Jamison who appears on the wall, raised the Armed Services Flag. Both Flags were generously donated by the Town of Cortlandt.
Randi Mendel, a young talented student from the Cortlandt School of the Performing Arts, sang our National Anthem. It was nice touch to have participation in this memorial by our future generation.
Guest speakers followed. First Eugene W Booth spoke. He is the only surviving member left, that is inscribed on the monument. It was a great honor to have the former Hen Hud principal at the re dedication. Next up, our elected officials. Dan Pagano represented NYS Senator Terrence Murphy. NYS Assemblywomen Sandy Galef spoke. She was followed by Westchester County Legislator John Testa. Mayor Frank Catalina of Peekskill was heard from. A message from Town of Cortlandt Supervisor Linda Puglisi was read by Rita Sharples.
A wreath in honor of the passing of these veterans was laid ceremoniously by Nancy & Ruth, daughters of John "Jack" Davies with Mary Tronto and Nicolo Basalyga of the Goldberg Family.
Rotary District 7230, Past District Governor George Camp, of the Ossining Rotary, who is known for his relentless dedication to ending polio worldwide, did the benediction.
The ceremony concluded with Taps being played by Philip G Miller

Anshumali Shrivastava, assistant professor of computer science at Rice University, with Richard G. Baraniuk, the Victor E. Cameron Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice, has won the Amazon Research Award in machine learning for the year 2017.
The proposal is titled "Scaling-up Machine Learning via Probabilistic Hashing." They will receive $80,000 in funding and an additional $20,000 in Amazon Web Services Promotional Credits to pursue their research.
They will explore fundamental hashing and compressed sensing techniques to push learning algorithms, especially deep learning, to the extreme scale. "The current pursuit of unified intelligence seems to point towards the need for astronomically sized architectures. Large networks are needed to assimilate the information present in massive volumes of data. Training such networks is out of the reach of current technology. This calls for a disruptive change in our existing processes," Shrivastava said.
Amazon's awards are open to full-time faculty members of institutions in North America and Europe that grant doctoral degrees in fields related to machine learning. The funds can be used to support one or two graduate students or post-doctoral researchers working under the principal investigator.

Arcturus Therapeutics Announces Positive Interim ARCT-021 (LUNAR-COV19) Phase 1/2 Study Results for Both Single Shot and Prime-boost Regimens, and Up to $220 Million in Additional Financial Commitments from Singapore
Based on interim Phase 1/2 results, a single 7.5 µg dose of ARCT-021, along with prime-boost regimens are selected to advance into later stage global clinical trials
Seroconversion in majority of participants receiving doses in the range of 5 µg to 7.5 µg; Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) levels for neutralizing antibodies in the range of convalescent plasma
Dose-dependent anti-spike IgG titers increased over time through approximately day 43; T cell reactivity to spike protein peptides, including receptor binding domain (RBD) observed
Favorable safety and tolerability profile in both younger (ages 21-55) and older (ages 56-80) subjects; no moderate or severe fevers
Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) financial commitment includes $45 million up front to fund manufacture of ARCT-021 and up to an additional $175 million in vaccine purchases
Lyophilized drug product on track for Phase 3 implementation
November 09, 2020 07:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (the "Company", "Arcturus", Nasdaq: ARCT), a leading clinical-stage messenger RNA medicines company focused on the development of infectious disease vaccines and significant opportunities within liver and respiratory rare diseases, today announced positive interim clinical study results from its ongoing Phase 1/2 study of ARCT-021, its vaccine candidate for COVID-19. The Company also announced new manufacturing financial support and potential vaccine purchases up to $220 million from Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB).
ARCT-021 Phase 1/2 study overview and results
ARCT-021 is being developed in collaboration with Duke-NUS Medical School and ongoing Phase 1/2 development is being conducted in Singapore. ARCT-021 combines self-transcribing and replicating mRNA (STARR™) with LUNAR® lipid-mediated delivery technology, which is designed to enhance and extend antigen expression, enabling vaccination at lower doses. The ongoing Phase 1/2 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of multiple dose levels of ARCT-021. Study subjects receive either placebo, or ARCT-021 at doses in the range of 1 µg to 10 µg per injection in either a single dose or prime-boost regimen.
The study is fully enrolled with 106 subjects, including older adult subjects. To date, 78 subjects have received at least one injection of ARCT-021, 36 subjects have received two injections (i.e., prime-boost), and 28 subjects have received placebo. Preliminary results are currently available from all single dose cohorts and the 5 µg younger adult prime-boost cohort up to at least day 36, with most subjects having completed day 57 post-injection.
Based on interim study results, a robust anti-spike protein IgG immune response was observed at all doses evaluated. PRNT50 GMT levels for neutralizing antibodies were within the range of titers observed in COVID-19 patient convalescent plasma. Furthermore, anti-spike IgG antibody titers have been dose-dependent, and increased through approximately day 43, confirming the effect seen in preclinical studies for STARR™ mRNA which exhibited increasing antibody titers over extended periods of time. Cytokine staining and ELISpot tests showed T cell responses to multiple peptide pools derived from the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The CD4+ response was Th1 dominant and the CD8+ response includes reactivity to the receptor binding domain.
ARCT-021 was generally well tolerated and had a favorable local and systemic adverse event (AE) profile. The majority of AEs have been mild; there have been no moderate (Grade 2) or severe (Grade 3) fevers at any dose and no severe (Grade 3) injection site reactions at doses being contemplated for advancement. No subjects have withdrawn from the study and there have been no serious adverse events deemed to be treatment related.
The study remains ongoing and the Company intends to provide additional results at a later date.
The Company's lyophilized drug product remains on track for Phase 3 implementation. The novel lyophilization process technology has been successfully transferred to a cGMP manufacturing facility. Arcturus recently signed an agreement with Recipharm to support the manufacture of ARCT-021.
The Company is in discussions with the Singapore Health Sciences Authority to advance ARCT-021 into later stage clinical studies. Interactions with additional agencies are expected within the next few weeks. The current plan anticipates testing a single dose regimen at 7.5 µg, as well as prime-boost regimens.
"The promising Phase 1/2 study results indicate that ARCT-021 could be effective as a single administration, which differentiates this investigational vaccine from many other COVID-19 vaccines in development. ARCT-021 has the potential to provide important public health benefits by greatly facilitating broad administration across multiple populations worldwide," said Professor Ooi Eng Eong, Deputy Director, Emerging Infectious Diseases Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School and a member of Arcturus' Vaccine Platform Scientific Advisory Board.
"We are very pleased with our preliminary ARCT-021 Phase 1/2 clinical study results, which demonstrate a favorable safety profile and both humoral and cellular immunity to the vaccine antigen, at relatively low dose levels. These results provide support for ARCT-021 having a differentiated emerging clinical profile, including as a single dose regimen. The non-viral LUNAR® delivery technology also has the ability to be dosed multiple times, if needed. We believe that our vaccine candidate could be an important contribution to controlling the global COVID-19 pandemic," said Steve Hughes, M.D., Chief Development Officer of Arcturus. "In the coming weeks, we expect to complete our discussions with regulatory authorities and we are working with urgency to advance ARCT-021 into later stage studies."
Up to $220 Million Financial commitment from Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB)
Arcturus announced an important manufacturing support agreement with Singapore's EDB that includes a limited recourse loan of $45 million and terms for ARCT-021 vaccine purchases of up to $175 million. The EDB will provide the $45 million within 60 days contingent on delivery of certain documentations. The proceeds will be used for the purchase of equipment, materials and services related to the manufacture of our vaccine. Under the terms of the agreement, the loan will be repaid through royalties on future ARCT-021 commercial sales. If ARCT-021 does not obtain regulatory approval, the loan will be forgiven. Additionally, Arcturus and the EDB have agreed to terms providing the EDB with the right to purchase up to $175 million of ARCT-021 vaccine at pre-negotiated prices, with shipments expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021.
"These funds provide the Company with additional resources to sustain rapid scale up of ARCT-021 to meet the requirements of our existing Israeli and Singapore agreements as well as other potential supply deals in 2021. Along with our global manufacturing partners, we have laid the foundation to produce hundreds of millions of doses of ARCT-021 over the next 18 months and we believe the Company has an opportunity to positively impact the global COVID-19 pandemic," said Andy Sassine, Chief Financial Officer of Arcturus.
The Company will hold a conference call today, to further discuss the ARCT-021 vaccine candidate and other recent corporate updates as part of its third quarter announcement.

Nod rutier este un loc de întâlnire sau punct de plecare al mai multor șosele importante, având direcții diferite.

Un triunghi de autostrăzi este un nod de trafic rutier unde se întâlnesc trei artere, nu la aceeași înălțime (cu un pod sau un tunel), unde o autostradă se unește cu alta. Germania este singura țară care folosește această denumire (în ) dar folosindu-se simbolul .

What Undermines Aid's Impact on Growth?
We examine one of the most important and intriguing puzzles in economics: why it is so hard to find a robust effect of aid on the long-term growth of poor countries, even those with good policies. We look for a possible offset to the beneficial effects of aid, using a methodology that exploits both cross-country and within-country variation. We find that aid inflows have systematic adverse effects on a country's competitiveness, as reflected in a decline in the share of labor intensive and tradable industries in the manufacturing sector. We find evidence suggesting that these effects stem from the real exchange rate overvaluation caused by aid inflows. By contrast, private-to-private flows like remittances do not seem to create these adverse effects. We offer an explanation why and conclude with a discussion of the policy implications of these findings.

CatVando is a volunteer-run nonprofit funded only through donations. Sponsors are essential to helping us provide quality care for cats and kittens in need. Sponsorships allow compassionate people to help homeless cats until they find their forever home. Most cats can be sponsored for $20/month. Sponsorships are tax-deductible.
Read each unique cat's story below. Click on the cat's link to sponsor the cat.
At 7pm on a Friday night, there was a knock at the door and there stood a stranger and a dirty 4-month-ish old kitten. Tiffany panhandles up the street on the frontage road from 290 at 1st Avenue. She saw someone pull over on 290 and put out a kitten. She climbed the fence and down the hill, got the kitten, climbed up and, because everyone in the neighborhood knows where to bring stray or helpless animals, she brought her here. Poor little girl was wormy, covered with fleas, skinny and filthy but was purring. Taken from 290 (Eisenhower Expressway), how could we help but call her Ms. Ike! She's warm and safe and will be on her way to a good home. For now, we're caring for her, deworming her, and taking her to the vet. Would you open your heart to sponsor Ms. Ike?
Blackie came to us with Stomatitis.
After 3 consults, the plan was to pull all his teeth, which happened over the course of 5 surgeries. Blackie enjoyed 3 pain-free years. Unfortunately, a few months ago, his gums inflamed and he developed lesions. The first treatment was an oral antibiotic. Some cats are easier to medicate than others, and giving medicine to Blackie is like medicating a feral. The poor guy's mouth was so sore he fought anything coming within inches. He wouldn't eat in food. The next vet gave him Convinia, depamedrol and vitamin B injections. It worked to stop the pain and inflammation but it's temporary. The down side is the cycle of pain between shots. This treatment lasts about 18 days.
We'd like to raise the funds to take Blackie to a specialist to see if there's a better treatment plan.

Because today..I also found out I have ten paintings that are going to be in a museum exhibit with Terry Allen, Joe Ely, Ethan Ezarian, Bale Allen, Bob Schneider…it's called MUSICANS MAKING ART.
I was sooooo nervous all week. The curator from the New Braunfels Museum of Art was coming today. I cleaned. I prepped the paintings (which means I kept moving them around the house and staring at them.) I put on mascara.
Thank God he was accustomed to NUTCASES like ME.
Anyway, after a wonderful hour or more of talking about art, paintings, his life, my life, kids, he chose ten of my works. I hugged him. He asked, "Were you doubting I would take some of your work?" I said, "I had no idea! I don't have a studio or tons of paintings…or I didn't know if they would be up to everyone else's level…" He just smiled again. Then he handed me some prozac and said everything was lovely!!! And then I was smiling, too!!!
I also talked about my dad, who is an AMAZING painter, and he knew who my dad was and he said he thinks my dad would be great for a show in the fall so as soon as he walks out the door I am on the phone yapping excitedly to my dad about HIS SHOW HE WILL HAVE and I am a puppy I tell you jumping up and down in my kitchen and just ALIVE with JOY!!!
and joe ely will have his prison drawings…these are cool, computer generated photo collages with funny thoughts/comments.
oh. and then we talked about what music to have at the opening so I said, "Oh, you 've got to have Brave Combo or Will Taylor/Strings Attached" and gave him their numbers…this is going to be such a party!

The St. Johns River is the longest river in Florida, spaning 310 miles it winds it's way through twelve counties. Often described as "lazy" the St Johns river has a flow rate of only 0.3 mph. Brimming with wildlife and natural beauty there is no better way to discover it's secrets than traveling along this waterway on a boat.
We live in Florida but rarely get the opportunity to enjoy it's natural beauty so we where excited to have been invited on a press trip by the West Volusia Tourism Board. Among the many attractions we visited and fun things we did while on our trip to West Volusia our favorite was the St. John's River Eco Tour : for a two hours we took a voyage on a pontoon through the back waters of one of the most protected areas of the river.
Dough and Capt. Jeanne where very knowledgable not only about the wildlife and the history of river but they where also wonderful with the kids. They made the trip interesting telling us about the different animals, their nicknames and their stories.

I was a little worried that my 6 year old would get bored stuck on a slow moving boat for 2 hours but both him and my 9 year old daughter had a wonderful time spotting birds, turtles and alligators along the riverbank with the binoculars they got from Dough. Capt. Jeanne even let the kids drive the boat. My little guy even complained when it was over saying it felt more like 20 minutes than 2 hours.
During the cruise we got the opportunity to experience the breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife and to get up close and personal to many of the birds and animales that make the St Johns river their home. We saw alligators, turtles, osprey, little blue herons, great egrets, purple gallinules, great blue herons, red hawks and barred owls.

As we sailed along the tranquil waters and heard Dough telling us about the river's local inhabitants it felt as if we where being welcomed into his home and as he pointed to an alligator nest or to a family of Barred owls he talked about them as if he where introducing family members and friends. By the time the cruise was over we all felt a new found appreciation for the St. Johns River and for the real Florida and it's captivating mystique.

There's no better way to immerse yourself in the beauty of the St. Johns River than on a boat tour, specially when guided by people who not only know the area, the wildlife and the history but who are passionate about it's conservation and preservation.

National Register of Citizens (NRC) - A Synonym for Deep Anxiety
Fear and panic
As the Assam government prepares to publish the final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) on August 31, a humanitarian catastrophe of unprecedented nature is unfolding in the state.
The NRC updation exercise, sanctioned by the Supreme Court through a 2014 judgment, is aimed at identifying "illegal" immigrants from Bangladesh who entered Assam after 24 March 1971.
Currently, the whole process is in its "claims and objections" phase, as part of which the NRC authorities are addressing the citizenship claims of applicants whose names were missing from the second draft of the NRC list published last year July. Over 40 lakh applicants had been dropped from the second draft.
Alongside the court-mandated process of adjudicating claims of missing applicants, another parallel, and rather illegitimate, process is underway. According to reports in the media, applicants whose names had already featured in the second draft and those who had already attended multiple hearings after finding their names missing are being summoned for hearings once again at locations far away from their places of residence, that too at severely short notice.
It is unclear why this is being done, as the Supreme Court had already rejected a proposal for reverification.
The outcome? Total chaos, confusion, anxiety, road accidents, injuries and deaths.
What happened over the last few week is inexcusable and falls squarely on the Assam government and NRC authorities, including NRC State Coordinator, Prateek Hajela. Around three hundred people, many daily wage labourers, from two Lower Assam districts of Barpeta and Kamrup received "sudden" notices for hearings in Upper Assam districts that are around 300-400 kms away from their villages. As reported by The Indian Express, almost every single house in one particular village received these notices.
What followed was a human tragedy of devastating proportions – reeling under extreme panic, people hired all kinds of vehicles from buses to pick-up trucks to reach the hearing venues, often jam packed like cattle inside trailers.
As if that wasn't enough, three of the vehicles met with road accidents, thanks to sleep-deprived drivers rushing at high speeds to ensure that the applicants reach their hearing venues on time. Photographs from one of the accident sites showed bloodied and partially-charred victims covered with hot peat on which their bus had toppled.
From the outset, the NRC process has been an arbitrary and exclusionary one. It is, by design, aimed at exclusion and not inclusion. At various stages of the process, the authorities, despite the apex court's monitoring, have come up with obscure and confusing procedures by leveraging their bureaucratic autonomy.
The mad rush created for hearings, identification, verification and reverification – which only carry a mere possibility, not certainty, of inclusion – have driven many to great emotional, financial, physical and social pain and stress. Worse, the state and its institutions, including the apex court, have completely failed to ease the pain.
Truly, if there was one word that could aptly describe the NRC's fallout, then that would be 'anxiety'. The recent mass summons and the subsequent deaths and injuries on the road only reveal the sheer unjustness of the whole process.
The re-verification process that is currently underway, as part of which abrupt notices were served to hundreds over the last week, is in express contravention of a recent Supreme Court order, dated July 23, that rejected a plea by the Union government to undertake reverification. The latter had asked for a re-verification of "a limited percentage of the exercise done so far to take care of wrongful inclusions and exclusions." Stating that the NRC authorities had already reverified around 27% of the applications during the claims and objections stage as submitted by Hajela in an July 18 report to the bench, the court said the following:
"[...] we do not consider it necessary to accede to the prayers for a further sample verification as prayed for on behalf of the Union of India and the State of Assam. No further orders in the matter would be called for at this stage."
The ongoing re-verification process and the attendant inter-district hearings also violate the NRC authority's own Standard Operation Procedure (SOP), approved by the apex court for the claims and objections stage.
The rules state that the summon notices must be served "at least 15 days prior to the date of hearing", and if the notice reaches late, then "an alternative date of hearing will be fixed and fresh notice with 15 days time from its receipt will be ensured."
It also says that the hearing venue must be a "a suitable place easily accessible to claimant or person objected upon".
By forcing people to appear at hearing centres hundreds of kilometers away from their homes, that too at a day's notice, the authorities are in contravention of the above rules.
These fresh notices may not be directly linked to the Supreme Court moratorium on reverification as against the central government's appeal. But, in reality, one automatically leads to the other. In the claims and objections phase, people have been served two types of notices – RN1.1, which calls for the re-verification of the recipient, and RN 2.1, which calls for re-verification of the 'legacy data'. In the NRC, 'legacy data' is a continuum of intergenerational and cross-family relationships.
This makes any kind of reverification proliferative by design – an inquiry of one link in the family chain would inevitably have to draw in other related links for examination. Thus, the 27% that Hajela claimed he had reverified must have led to reverification of other interlinked applicants, which could explain the fresh notices. In that sense, the government's desire of reverification is already been fulfilled by the NRC authority, bypassing the apex court order.
One of the justifications provided for these fresh notices to people already included in the draft NRC is that the disposing officer adjudicating the claims and objections had certain doubts with regard to these individuals. But, only the officers know what counts as "doubtful" in such cases. It is such loose ends, inter alia, that provide sufficient ambiguity to the verification process for the whole NRC exercise to appear ideologically or politically motivated.
Further, one wonders why the state government decided to opt for reverification at this stage. After all, it had a range of options at its disposal to check wrongful inclusions during the course of NRC updation.
The SOP provides the government with the provision to use Local Registrar of Citizen Registration (LRCRs) to verify names already in the draft NRC while the District Registrar of Citizen Registration (DRCRs) can direct an officer to conduct an enquiry.Furthermore, the state government could also have directed its Border Police Force to recheck an entry. This is because any reference of an individual made by this agency to the Foreigners Tribunal (FT) automatically strikes of the name of the individual from the NRC.
While these are equally arbitrary provisions, they would have limited the need for long distance, last minute inter-district hearings. Why should the applicants now suffer for the government's lapse?
Moreover, the NRC kendras and Foreigners Tribunals (FTs) are ill-equipped to handle large crowds. There is an absolute lack of basics in these places – sanitation, drinking water, waiting areas, and transportation facilities. Above all, there is a general lack of empathy and love for these victims of the NRC process. In the wider perception, they are de facto 'illegals' who ought to prove their citizenship amidst all hassles.
The very fact that a few local activists, such as Soneswar Narah and Pranab Doley, have been helping the distressed people who have travelled long distances for hearing from Lower to Upper Assam itself evinces the state's failure to ease the humanitarian distress. Such rare interventions show that love and empathy are indeed real possibilities.
This year's monsoon brought alone a twin disaster – one natural, the other man-made. As floodwaters swept through the state, an entire set of vulnerable people who are at the short end of the NRC found themselves knee-deep in a struggle to safeguard their identity. Both calamities criss-crossed each other at critical points of survival.
The effects of flood is not just when one's home is flooded with water. The real struggle begins after.
The NRC process has not given an inch to the people who are affected by floods for the claims and verification process.
The government's insensitivity becomes apparent as neither the Attorney General, representing the Central Government nor the Solicitor General, representing the Assam Government, pled for extending the deadline in consideration of the difficulties faced by people to participate in the updation exercise owing to floods.
The Government had rather based its case on the claim of wrongful inclusions and exclusions. It is instead the NRC coordinator who had argued for extension in view of the floods. NRC is turned into a bigger deluge that strips people of citizenship and humiliates the victims.
Two touching stories made into media about how NRC have come to be ranked as a greater disaster this year. The attempts of a man in an open area, in front of what seemed like a relief camp, to dry documents related to NRC spoke volumes of how the proof of an identity was given greater importance over grain or other valuables in life.
The other stories that came to the fore were of people refusing to be rescued from their abode despite being flooded. People are driven around like headless chickens. Many of them will be sent off to the worse off position in the cyclical poverty.
Such shift in reference points in life indicates a deeper erosion of the rational fabric of life. In the first case, we have papers taking over life and in the other, the unwillingness to live is a serious example of erosion of hope and how deep trauma of non-belonging can grip people.
The whole process of 'claims and objections' which involves appearing in FTs, travel for hearing to distant places, hiring legal counsel, and losing gainful employment when one is engaged in these processes, among others, pushes these people into poverty, landlessness and even debt. There are numerous examples of people selling their valuables, cattle, and grains in order to meet the ends of the NRC process.
This is nothing but a classic case of dispossession and pauperisation where the arbitrary and inhumane process of NRC will turn them into cheap labourers at the mercy of the business class and landlords.
Journeys and travelling in colonies such as India were marked by the advent of railways and museums, notes political psychologist Ashis Nandy. It signaled a triumph over time and space. Most Indian families in villages and small towns travel distances to meet their relatives. The nodes of travel are marked by the presence and absence of one's kin.
In contrast, the travels related to NRC and the subsequent deaths are such a dark irony to what Nandy thought of journeys. It signals a deep political and human crisis in our country. At the heart of this crisis is an utter indifference to suffering, an acute death of love and empathy, which overwhelmingly characterises the politics of NRC and xenophobia in Assam.
Assamese nationalism is what made NRC possible and hence, they are certainly party to these sufferings. Who will tell the story of the victims? How long will it take to become amnesiac and oblivious to what the NRC entails?
Why is it that Assamese nationalists only remember the 855 'martyrs' of the Assam Movement as victims? Large-scale pogroms such as the 1983 Nellie massacre are already obliterated from public memory. Will the people who comitted suicide due to the NRC or those who died lonely deaths in detention centres have the same fate?
Whatever may the final outcome of this ruthless exercise be, when the dust settles, the state and its patronisers will have a lot to answer for. The question, however, remains: are there enough people to ask the right questions and demand justice?

KIPP charter school to open in Detroit

Charter school operator KIPP, which canceled plans to set up in Detroit last year, is opening its first school in the city next week, bringing a nationally recognized network to a city dominated by small, locally grown charter schools.
This story also appeared in Chalkbeat Detroit
KIPP Detroit Imani Academy will start out with 60 to 75 kindergarteners in a community center in northwest Detroit. The school, which received its charter from Central Michigan University, will eventually enroll students in grades K-12.
Some education advocates in Detroit have aimed to bring a KIPP school to Detroit for years. But national charter school operators have largely shied away from Detroit because of high rates of child poverty, relatively low school funding, and loose regulation that fuels fierce competition among local operators.
Supporters of the school said KIPP Detroit Imani Academy would raise the bar for Detroit schools, pointing to its well-documented record of improving test scores in communities of color. Originally called the Knowledge Is Power Program, the network now enrolls more than 100,000 students across 20 states, largely in urban communities with many students of color. It emphasizes high expectations for students and a culture of college-going.
Maria Montoya chose the school for her rising kindergartner because it is close to her family's house, and because she believes that the KIPP network's success will transfer to the new school.
"They get stability and support from having a national network of folks who've been learning together for a good number of years," she said. "I feel confident that even though this is a new team, they'll have the support they need to get this off the ground."
Critics of the proposed school, including Detroit Superintendent Nikolai Vitti, have argued that with enrollment declining citywide, Detroit has enough schools already, and that competition from a new school would hurt existing schools.
The new school will be based at the St. Suzanne Cody Rouge Community Resource Center at 19321 W. Chicago Street. Candace Rogers, superintendent of KIPP Detroit, said the network plans to purchase a plot of land in the Cody Rouge neighborhood and build a K-12 campus.
"We aim to be a community-focused school, and believe that launching inside of a building that is considered the heart of a community is aligned with our beliefs as an organization," Rogers said in an email, referring to the Community Resource Center.
When classes begin on Tuesday, Sept. 6, four kindergarten rooms will hold between 60 and 75 students, Rogers said. The school had aimed for more than 100 students in its first year and is still accepting applications. It has five teachers and four assistants on staff.
KIPP scrapped plans to open a school in a different part of Detroit last fall. The network had planned to purchase a vacant parcel of city-owned land and build a K-12 campus there. Amid public criticism of the sale, KIPP backed out of the deal.
Following a decade of rapid expansion, fewer charter schools have opened in Michigan in recent years. The state received a five-year, $47 million federal grant in 2018 to expand charter schools but has so far spent less than half of the money. The national KIPP network also received a substantial grant through the same program. The new school is funded in part by federal charter school startup grants.
