About Hygge
by our guest relations officer
Everything You Need To Know About The Danish Lifestyle Trend
We're sure you've come across the word in the past few months, but what in the world is hygge exactly? First let's start with how you say it.
Pronounced "hoo-ga," this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life. If you've ever enjoyed reading a book indoors on a rainy Sunday or a cup of hot cocoa on a snow day you've experienced hygge without even knowing it. Hygge is such an important part of being Danish that it is considered "a defining feature of our cultural identity and an integral part of the national DNA," according to Meik Wiking, the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. "In other words, what freedom is to Americans. . . hygge is to Danes," Wiking says in his new book The Little Book Of Hygge, which comes out later this month in the U.S. This national obsession with all things cozy is credited as one of the reasons why Denmark is always at the top of the list of the world's happiest countries, despite their infamously miserable winters. Now the rest of the world is beginning to catch on to this wonderful way of life.
The basics. Similar to the German concept of gemütlichkeit and the Dutch idea of gezelligheid, the warm and cozy lifestyle that hygge promotes has been a key part of Danish culture since the early 1800s when the word first appeared in the written language (it's derived from a Norwegian word for "well-being"). While hygge—which is used as both a noun and adjective in Denmark—is more of a way of life for Danes, it caught on as a lifestyle trend in the UK in 2016 after several books about the topic were published. It became so popular in Britain that it was even included in the Collins Words of the Year for 2016—second only to Brexit. Now it's America's turn to go ga-ga for hygge. Everyone from The New York Times to The New Yorker has covered it and no fewer than eight books have been published in the last few months about the topic. It's trending on social media too. Pinterest predicted it will be one of the hottest home decor trends of 2017 after activity on the site about "hygge" increased 285 percent at the end of 2016. People have tagged over 1.5 million posts on Instagram with #hygge and have also taken to Twitter to discuss the finer points of what makes something hygge or not.

35th World Vegetarian Congress
'Food for all our futures'
Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland

The Vegetarian Society
Philosophy of diet - or philosophy of life?
by Derek Antrobus, tuesday 10.00am-11.00am
In the British House of Commons a few years, the most prominent of all left-wing radicals was Tony Benn. One of the most colourful right wing conservatives was the late Alan Clark. Both were vegetarians. That simple observation might lead one to conclude that adopting a vegetarian diet was independent of some wider philosophy of life. Yet my researches have suggested that there are deep ideological undercurrents that have persisted in (at least) the principal proponents of vegetarianism and that this has led to a tendency in vegetarians to adopt similar attitudes to issues beyond that of diet alone.
In my book, A Guiltless Feast, I theorise that there are two great contending traditions of human thought: the holistic and the anthropocentric. By the holistic tradition, I understand a fundamental belief that human beings are an integral part of nature. They are caught in a web relationships, well understood by modern ecologists: what happens to one part of nature has an impact on another. Ecology assumes a biological relationship. But in the past, the holistic tradition has suggests other bases for the relationship. Much of paganism is founded on a magical relationship between human beings and the natural world. Many religions are founded on mysticism, a belief in direct communion with a God which is the unit of all things. My argument is that, whatever, the basis of holistic beliefs, they lead to certain philosophical attitudes: a reverence for all life and a profound egalitarianism.
By contrast, the anthropocentric tradition takes human beings as the centre of things. Nature is a separate entity. It is something to be used by us, or something that can abuse us. Rather than a reverence for all life, nature is there to be exploited or controlled. Rather than egalitarianism, the view that humans are above nature suggests a natural hierarchy in the world.
I want to consider the evidence for this theory in the hope of provoking a debate which might suggest alternative frameworks. We must also be alert to the argument that we cannot make such sweeping generalisations and need to focus on the particular philosophies of particular individuals.
We may as well begin by looking at Pythagoras who is generally acknowledged to be the father of Western vegetarianism. Indeed, until the nineteenth century, vegetarians were known as Pythagoreans. He lived about 2,600 years ago and was born into a society where holistic ideas were dominant. For Greeks before the time of Socrates believed that the world was a living organism which unified all life. Pythagoras developed a view about the transmigration of souls: the belief that on death the soul migrates to the body of another living creature. Pythagoras is famously said to have warned a follower not to eat an animal lest it be his grandmother! For Pythagoreans, all souls spring from the same source and inhabit every living thing. It follows from this that all living things are related and there is literally a kinship of nature.
Pythagoras and his followers set up institutions throughout the Mediterranean which promoted education, were egalitarian and, it seems, offered an emancipated role for women. Many Pythagorean communities were suppressed - it has been suggested that this was due to their political radicalism. But from about 300BC the philosophy underwent a resurgence. Among the famous adherents were the Roman poet Ovid and Porphyry, whose On Abstinence from Animal Food, published in the third century, is the classic statement of Pythagorean attitudes to vegetarianism.
In Pythagorean philosophy, then, we see a link between a notion of kinship in nature, vegetarianism and radical social ideals.
Thomas Tryon
Let me now move on to a more recent example, that of Thomas Tryon, the earliest English propagandist for vegetarianism, who lived from 1634 to 1703. Tryon's religious beliefs were influenced by the German mystic Jacob Behmen (1575-1624) who rejected the notion of God as a bearded deity in the clouds. For Behmen, God existed in and worked through nature. Trees and flowers were sufficient evidence for nature of God: you did not need to have a Bible interpreted by a priest. Behmen's nature mysticism was popular among anti-clerical Puritans in Cromwell's time. Mysticism is a belief in direct communion with God which Behemenists experienced through the natural world. In doing so, they rejected the hierarchy of the church and privileged the equality of human souls.
Tryon developed his vegetarian ideals from this belief in the kinship of nature. But he also developed from this egalitarian political views. He was one of the earliest opponents of slavery, he lobbied for the establishment of free schools for the poor and was a pacifist. Among those converted by Tryon's writings was Benjamin Franklin.
My final example of the existence of these links is the Swedish mystic, Emanuel Swedenborg, or, more accurately, his followers who established the Vegetarian Society. Swedenborg, who lived from 1688 to 1772, believed in the underlying unity of life: all were one in God, God was Love, wherever there was love, there was God. To teach this Gospel of Love, he established a church - the New Church - which counted amongst its members the poet and artist William Blake.
An offshoot of the New Church was the Bible Christian Church established by William Cowherd in Salford in 1809. These Cowherdites adopted vegetarianism because they saw God existing in and through animals.
The Bible Christians were pacifists and helped to organise the Peace Society; they opposed capital punishment and their leader Joseph Brotherton is said to have been the first Parliamentarian to argue against the death penalty; they campaigned against slavery; lobbied for laws to improve the conditions of the Victorian working class; and influenced the local and national political agenda to extend culture and education. In other words, they were radical in their egalitarianism.
There are many other examples which illustrate this link -from the 11th century Cathars to the poet Shelley. But we must also consider the evidence for the anthopocentric world view leading to different outcomes.
The most influential philosopher in this respect was Aristotle. He argued that since animals do not possess reason, they are subject to humans. It follows that there is a hierarchy in nature. Animals eat plants, so animals are superior to plants. Humans eat animals, and so are superior to them. Aristotle takes the argument a crucial step further. If humans eat animals, then animals must be designed for eating. It is the intention of nature, the gods, the Supreme Power that humans should eat animals. In Aristotle's world view, there is a belief in a hierarchy which leads him to adopt authoritarian views in politics. But there is also the argument from design: if that's the way things are, that's how they are meant to be. Not only is this profoundly conservative but, when linked to authoritarianism, it is totalitarian. The authorities know what should be and they will enforce it. And this is the central message of his political writings.
Aristotle was the philosopher beloved of the Church. His teachings fused with those of the Judaic tradition's emphasis on the immortality of the soul to create a profoundly human-centred religion. God had given humans dominion over the rest of nature. There was a natural hierarchy in the universe, the nation developed of a chain of being. At the top was the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in that order. The chain of being not only justified and sanctified human dominion over animals, but royal dominion over subject through the theory of the Divine Right of Kings. Access to God was through the priesthood.
In this view, the church was a hierarchy which justified the hierarchical organisation of society. It monopolised power, it monopolised knowledge and learning; and it monopolised the fate of souls. It had a track record of declaring heretical anyone who challenged that monopoly, notably the vegetarian sects which flourished from time to time.
From this analysis it would seem we could argue that vegetarians are, on the whole, egalitarian, libertarian reformers whereas meat-eaters are selfish, authoritarian, totalitarian and exploitative. But, of course, that does not entirely ring true.
Aristotle's genius led him to some abhorrent prescriptions for conduct and society. But Christians have drawn on a variety of traditions. It is true that many have interpreted the Bible's promise of dominion over nature as carte-blanche to exploit nature. But others have interpreted that responsibility as a requirement of stewardship, to conserve and care for the natural world. Others see it as duty to exercise dominion as a power for good, to make perfect this imperfect world. This has been particularly true of unitarian tradition in Christianity which rejects the hierarchy of the Trinity and opens the way for the holistic ideas which have had such an influence on vegetarians.
Nor must we blind to the fact that not all vegetarians have an ethical stance on animals. Some forsake meat not because of its impact on the slaughtered victim, but it impact on personal health. Others adopt vegetarianism because its is cheaper for them - or they see it as cheaper for society, helping to avoid famine. Many vegetarians argue that meat-eating leads to aggression. All these reason focus on the benefits to humans, individual or collectively. They can thus be seen as anthropocentric.
Finally, we must acknowedge the body of opinion that denies a distinction between the holistic and anthropocentric traditions. The holistic view, they say, is a view that can only be held by human beings. It is held by people who get psychological pleasure from seeing themselves as at one with nature. The holistic view is ultimately anthropocentric because it's consequence is to benefit humans.
Despite these objections, I am entranced by the patterns I see in the history of vegetarian thought. Time and again the same arguments, the same attitudes arise. Perhaps the answer lies in the ideological purity of vegetarian's philosophers, and philosophy's dilution among practising vegetarians, each subject to particular motives rather than a general ideal.

Q: SEGV_ACCERR after room creation Google Play game services I'm writing the game with Cocos2d-x and Google Play Game Services for the networking.
I'm creating a real time room with this code:
 auto scene = BattleScene::createScene();
    BattleScene *layer;
    if (scene->getChildByName("layer")) {
      layer = static_cast<BattleScene *>(scene->getChildByName("layer"));
    } else {
      log("Cannot get layer!");
      return;
    }
    log("Creating room...");
    auto gameServices = StateManager::getGameServices();
    gpg::RealTimeRoomConfig config = gpg::RealTimeRoomConfig::Builder()
                                         .SetMinimumAutomatchingPlayers(1)
                                         .SetMaximumAutomatchingPlayers(1)
                                         .Create();
    log("config created");
    gameServices->RealTimeMultiplayer().CreateRealTimeRoom(
        config, layer,
        [&](gpg::RealTimeMultiplayerManager::RealTimeRoomResponse const
                &response) {
          log("created a room %d", response.status);
          if (gpg::IsSuccess(response.status)) {
            gameServices->RealTimeMultiplayer().ShowWaitingRoomUI(
                response.room, 1,
                [&](gpg::RealTimeMultiplayerManager::
                        WaitingRoomUIResponse const &wait_response) {
                  log("WaitingRoomUIResponse");
                  if (IsSuccess(wait_response.status)) {
                    log("Game started");
                    Director::getInstance()->replaceScene(scene);
                  }
                });
          } else
            log("Error1");
        });

But then (when second player connected) application fails with that log:

The problem seems to be in OnParticipantStatusChanged func in BattleSceneClass, but there is a error even when this func is empty
Do you have some ideas?
Yes, BattleScene have IRealTimeEventListener in parents.

Middle Welsh and Manx, Lingwa de Planeta and Latgalian. In its 150-year history, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into every major language and numerous minor ones, including many that are extinct or invented. Only some religious texts and a few other children's books—including The Little Prince by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry—reportedly rival Alice for sheer number of linguistic variations.
But the real wonder is that any Alice translations exist at all. Penned in 1865 by English scholar Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll, the book's delight in wordplay and cultural parodies makes it a torment for translators.
How do you write about the Mouse's tale without losing the all-important pun on "tail"? Some languages, like the Aboriginal tongue Pitjantjatjara, don't even use puns. What about when a character takes an idiom literally? The Caterpillar, for instance, tells Alice to explain herself. "I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir, because I'm not myself, you see," Alice replies. The cultural references in this Victorian novel pose other problems. British contemporaries would have guessed that the Hatter was mad from mercury exposure, but hat makers in other parts of the world didn't use mercury. And why translate a parody of a popular British poem for readers of Arabic who have never seen the original?
A massive new work, Alice in a World of Wonderlands, devotes three volumes to exploring such questions. Published by Oak Knoll Press, the books include essays by 251 writers analyzing the beloved children's book in 174 languages. The essays are scholarly but peppered with anecdotes illuminating the peculiarities of language and culture as they relate to Carroll's book.
The project began as a catalog to accompany an exhibition on Alice translations, which is opening at the Grolier Club in New York City in September. "It's gotten bigger by a long shot," says general editor Jon Lindseth, whose extensive collection of Alice books inspired the undertaking. "We're putting a stake in the sand and making the claim that this is the most extensive analysis ever done of one English-language novel in so many languages."
The frontispiece for Volume 1 of Alice in a World of Wonderlands shows a photograph of Alice Liddell, the inspiration for the fictional Alice. Oak Knoll Press
Language and typography scholar Michael Everson says the novel's inherent difficulty is part of its appeal. "The Alice challenge seems to be one that people like because it's really fun," he says. "Wracking your brains to resurrect a pun that works in your language even though it shouldn't, that sort of thing." For instance, an early Gujarati translator managed to capture the tail/tale pun for readers of that western Indian tongue. When someone talks incessantly, it is often conveyed through the Gujarati phrase poonchadoo nathee dekhatun, which means "no end in sight"—allowing the translator to play on poonchadee, the word for "tail", with poonchadoo.
Everson owns Evertype, a publishing house that specializes in esoterica. Under this banner, he has published 50 editions of Alice, including one in Gothic, an extinct Germanic language, and one in Nyctographic, an alphabet Carroll invented. Everson himself is currently translating Alice into Blissymbols, a visual language that's been adapted for people who lack the ability to speak. "I'm using visual puns where possible, because there's no phonology," Everson says.
His approach illustrates something common to all successful Alice translations. "You have to be really creative in order to translate Alice in Wonderland well," says Emer O'Sullivan, an expert on children's literature in translation at Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany. "The translations with zero creativity are really quite hilarious."
The mad tea party scene, with its puns, parodied verses, nonsense and linguistic jokes, is a particularly good test of a translator's skills. Some simply omit parts of the scene—for South African readers, the Xhosa translator dispenses with the chapter altogether. In the second volume of Alice in a World of Wonderlands, the scene has been back-translated—re-translated into English—from each language, with copious footnotes. The results show how different translators approach the same problem.
Take Carroll's parody of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," recited at the tea party by the Hatter:
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly
Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Here it is back-translated from Pashto, an Afghani language:
Blink, oh, you little bat,
Tell me something about your situation because I am surprised.
Open your wings on the world,
Like a Falcon in the sky.
The Pashto translator notes that he rewrote the poem to make it rhyme properly but otherwise tried to match the original English. In other words, he faithfully rendered Carroll's parody in Pashto despite the fact that "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is not a traditional work in Afghanistan. This is known among translators as the foreignization strategy: the translator stays close to the original text at the risk of producing something readers will not fully understand.
The 1869 German version, by contrast, dispenses with the twinkling star entirely, as is evident in the back-translation:
O parrot, o parrot!
How green are your feathers!
You're not only green in times of peace,
But also when it snows plates and pots.
Here the translator chose to parody a German Christmas carol his readers would know, "O Tannenbaum," in a strategy known as domestication. To make the poem culturally and linguistically relevant to her readers, the translator sacrificed a literal interpretation of Carroll's words. This is a common approach among Alice translators, some to a greater degree than others. In the Swahili edition, the Hatter wears a fez and the dormouse is a bush baby. In a 1910 Japanese edition, the Hatter does not offer Alice tea. An annotation notes that this is likely because it was inappropriate for men to serve food or drinks to women in Japan at the time. Other translations alter so much that readers may wonder how much of the original Alice remains.
"There's so many things in Alice in Wonderland you could identify as being Carrollian," says O'Sullivan. "How many of them would have to be fulfilled for you to say this is Alice in Wonderland? It's a question of degree. All translations are adaptations."
While the three volumes of Alice in a World of Wonderlands may seem extensive, they are no match for the continuing popularity of Carroll's creation. Even now, new Alice translations are appearing. An emoji version came out online a few months ago, and Everson says he just typeset the first translation in Western Lombard, a dialect spoken in Italy. "I hate to say it," he says, "I think [the project is] already out of date."
Note: This article has been updated to reflect the fact that scholars can only verify 46 translations of Pinocchio as of 1994.

Sophomore forward Alexis Garcia (West Haven, Conn.) flicked the ball over the keeper in the 79th minute after a long pass from freshman midfielder Ben Colter (Guilford, Conn.) to give Albertus the 1-0 win over visiting Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) opponent Saint Joseph's College of Maine on Saturday afternoon.
The Falcons outshot the Monks 24-13 overall while St. Joe's held the 6-5 edge in corner kicks. Junior goalkeeper Scott Benner (Post Falls, Idaho) played well for the visitors registering nine saves including stopping three point-blank shots throughout the contest.
Albertus came out of the gate early when sophomore forward Alexis Zapata (Hamden, Conn.) hit the post in just the fifth minute of play. The Falcons held a 13-7 shot advantage in the first half but were held scoreless behind five Benner saves including a spectactular diving stop at point blank range. Freshman midfielder Justyn Broderick (Organe, Conn.) found himself one on one with Benner in the 43rd minute before the impressive diving stop to send the game into halftime 0-0.
The Falcons would threaten again early in the second half when in the 48th minute Benner made a point blank save on Zapata to keep the game scoreless. Albertus Magnus freshman goal keeper Griffin Volta (Orange, Conn.) also played well for the Falcons stopping all seven shots that he faced in the contest to preserve the shutout victory.
Albertus improves to 7-1-2, 1-1-1 GNAC on the season while St. Joe's drops to 3-8, 1-1 GNAC. The Falcons return to action on Wednesday when they host Western Connecticut State University at 4:00 p.m. on Celentano Field in a non-conference match.

Well, today was my dreaded open class, without a doubt the most nerve-racking thing we’ve ever had to do at the school. I must say though, if they’d sprung it on me a few months back I would have crumpled under the pressure but these days I’m a real trooper. This time there was a full compliment of mothers eager to see their well-trained darlings perform for them. There were no major transgressions of our rules, nobody spoke Korean, nobody tried to steal my flashcards or use me as a human punching bag or set anything on fire. So, by my desperate standards they were positively angelic. I was more worried that the mothers would see that I wasn’t exactly a crackerjack teacher. I fully acknowledge that I’m not the world’s greatest kindergarten teacher, but I have learnt a few tricks of the trade. Anyways, the feedback I got was that the mothers were ‘satisfied with my teaching’, so I guess I did ok.

Actually, the Kitten class have gotten a lot better, with a little patience and persistence even the nastiest little junior warmonger can be trained to become a respectable member of kindergarten society. In the beginning I didn’t think I’d be able to teach these kids anything. When they were raw recruits nine months ago, they couldn’t even pronounce their English names. Now we’re starting to communicate with each other and have conversations, and they can express their needs to me in English. Before when they were yelling and crying at me in Korean I felt quite helpless. Yes, it’s really gratifying and I feel a real sense of accomplishment in that respect.

On a side note, the ajummas working in the produce section at my local supermarket have started giving me major discounts on my fruit for some reason. I guess it’s because I’m such a loyal customer, what fantastic service! They’d never do that at Safeway.

Samsung Electronics recently acquired a substantial stake in Rainbow Robotics, a local humanoid robotics company, for 47 million won. This provides a glimpse into the robotics ambitions of the South Korean tech giant, which remain a mystery.
Samsung became the second-largest shareholder of Rainbow Robotics when it acquired approximately 1.94 million shares earlier this month. Rainbow Robotics is one of a small number of companies that produce bipedal humanoid robots. The robotics company's stock rose by more than 30% following the news.
They took over Rainbow Robotics' stakes. During a press conference that took place last week on the sidelines of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung's co-CEO Han Jong-hee stated, "There's nothing more than that."
"It is true that robotics is one of the factors driving our future growth. This year, a humanoid assistant robot called EX1 will make its debut.
Industry observers are keeping a close eye on the recent stake purchase. Samsung to secure an early advantage in the burgeoning robotics market although the CEO of Samsung declined to put too much emphasis on it.
Two-legged humanoid robots are regarded as technology companies' ultimate key growth drivers, surpassing service robots on wheels. On condition of anonymity, a source in the industry who is familiar with the stake purchase stated, "Samsung has taken a step to become the first mover."
Even for Samsung, building robots from scratch is complicated. It would be preferable to collaborate with a reputable robotics company rather than wasting money on its establishment.
The source added that Rainbow Robotics makes over 90% of its robot parts in-house, which would help Samsung make robots for less money.
According to Eugene Securities analyst Yang Seung-yoon, Rainbow Robotics "is likely to produce robots specifically designed for Samsung, from service robots and four- or two-legged humanoids to home robots" using its advanced technology.
He particularly placed high hopes on the synergy between Samsung's high level of software. Artificial intelligence prowess and the sophisticated hardware technology of Rainbow Robotics.
"It might be premature to say, but Samsung-Rainbow Robotics and Hyundai Motor Group-Boston Dynamics could compete head-to-head. Their rivalry could assist in industry expansion and encourage innovation, he added.
In a major push for the robotics industry, the South Korean automaker purchased Boston Dynamics, best known for its four-legged robot dog "Spot," in 2021 for 1 trillion won.
Samsung has introduced prototypes of housekeeping and service robots, as well as wearable robots that assist disabled people, although it has not yet introduced any advanced robot products.
Robotics has also caught the attention of Chairman Lee Jae-Yong of Samsung Electronics. He pledged in October 2021 to invest 240 trillion won in robotics and other futuristic technologies.
Rainbow Robotics is looking to expand its presence in international markets. So joining forces with Samsung is likely to be advantageous for the company as well. The company intends to enter the United States and Europe this year.
The analyst, Yang, stated, "Backed by Samsung, Rainbow Robotics is likely to receive positive feedback from foreign investors."
A group of researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Humanoid Robot Research Center established Rainbow Robotics in 2011. In February 2021, the company listed its first stock on the nation's tech-heavy Kosdaq.
The expansion of the company's business in service robots, such as those used in factories and restaurants, was largely responsible for the company's first profit in the third quarter. During the quarter, it generated 10.4 billion won in sales and 140 million won in operating profits.

The contempt conviction in context: Pakistan – a political timeline
Posted on June 21, 2012 by beenasarwar
A 30-second 'convict' for 'contempt of court': Gilani. Reuters photo.
On Tuesday, June 19, the Supreme Court of Pakistan in an unprecedented judgement disqualified Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani from his membership of Parliament, also barring him from contesting elections for five years (scroll down for a Political Timeline putting the move in context).
The Court had on April 26, 2012, symbolically 'convicted' Gillani for contempt of court for less than a minute, due to his failure to ask Switzerland to reopen a corruption case against President Zardari, on the grounds that the president enjoyed immunity as head of state. According to some legal experts, as a 'convict' Gilani could no longer hold office. Continue reading →

POLITICS-PAKISTAN: Long March – A Long View
Posted on March 13, 2009 by beenasarwar
Analysis by Beena Sarwar
Lawyers and police clash in Lahore - photo by Rahat Dar
KARACHI, Mar 12 (IPS) – Barely a year after being elected, the Pakistan government faces a political storm involving a street agitation spearheaded by lawyers and opposition political parties allied with religious parties.
Lurking on the sidelines is an army unused to civilian command even as religious militants create havoc around the country.
None of this is new to Pakistan but many find it all the more painful given the hopes built up by last year's general elections. On Feb 18, 2009, Pakistani voters overwhelmingly supported non-religious parties and rejected those that had been propped up by the army.
The electorate's rejection of the religious parties and the joining hands of the late Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and her former rival Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) raised expectations of an end to political confrontation and religion-based politics – and the army moving away from politics.
These expectations followed decades of misrule and exploitation of religion for political purposes. The Pakistani establishment, at Washington's behest, strengthened armed militancy, exploiting religious sentiments to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan during the 1980s. In the process they created 'Jihad International', as the late scholar Dr Eqbal Ahmad termed it.
This may now be the biggest threat facing Pakistan – and the world – since the attack on the World Trade Center on Sep. 11 2001. Since then Washington has pushed Islamabad to fight the very forces of militant Islam that both together had fostered and strengthened.
Resultantly, this country has, as Pakistanis point out, suffered the most from militant attacks.
In this situation, political instability is distracting at best and dangerous at worst. The 'long march' demanding the reinstatement of chief justice Iftikhar Mohammed Choudhry, spearheaded by the legal fraternity and sections of civil society, has ready allies among the right-wing political opposition.
This includes Sharif's PML-N and the Jamaat-e-Islami, a mainstream religious party sympathetic to militant Islam, as well as others sympathetic to the Taliban, like ex-chief Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and anti-India hawk Gen. (retd.) Hamid Gul, retired bureaucrat Roedad Khan who brutally quashed political opposition during the Zia years, and cricket hero-turned politician Imran Khan, chief of the Tehrik-e-Insaaf (Movement for Justice).
All these forces boycotted the 2008 polls, except Sharif who rescinded his boycott decision after Bhutto convinced him that elections were the only way forward.
Long-festering tensions between the PPP and PML-N came to a head with a Supreme Court ruling of Feb 25 barring Sharif and his brother Shahbaz Sharif from holding elected office. Bhutto's widower, President Asif Ali Zardari is widely believed to be behind this controversial ruling.
The disgruntled Sharifs, already pushing to restore Chief Justice Choudhry, have flung themselves wholeheartedly into the long march – a move that observers do not see as entirely altruistic since their stated aims include effecting regime change.
"Sharif's attempts to paint himself as a radical, grassroots activist are at odds with his political origins," commented former lawyer and Australia-based analyst Mustafa Qadri, writing about the opportunity Pakistan's politicians of all hues have wasted in their "refusal to look beyond personal power games and provincialism to develop the nation's still embryonic democracy".
The Sharifs gained prominence as businessmen patronised by General Zia -ul-Haq who was behind Pakistan's "transformation from majority-Muslim nation to Islamic state with more conservative religious seminaries per capita than any other country in the world," as Qadri put it ('Long march to nowhere', The Guardian, Mar 10, 2009).
The current imbroglio comes on the heels of loaded statements by Gen. (retd) Pervez Musharraf who during a visit to India last week, gave several talks and interviews in which he hinted at a possible political comeback.
Curiously Musharraf, who stepped down as president in August 2008, urged New Delhi to stop 'bashing' the Pakistan army and the shadowy ISI since, according to him, they were the best defence against the growth of the Taliban and militancy in Pakistan.
President Zardari has invited comparisons to Musharraf because of his government's use of police force and mass arrests to prevent the long march, as Musharraf did after suspending Choudhry in March 2007 and imposing Emergency rule in Nov 2007.
The irony is illustrated by the recent three-hour detention of the firebrand women's rights and political activist, Tahira Abdullah, who has been mobilising the lawyers' movement from her home in Islamabad.
She faced police batons and tear gas in the Zia and Musharraf eras. A day before the long march began, a police contingent arrived at her house and virtually broke down her kitchen door.
However, her arrest attracted media attention, embarrassing the government into quickly ordering her release. An undeterred Abdullah immediately resumed mobilising for the agitation.
"It is sad and ironic that the PPP government has come to this," she told IPS. "They said it was preventive detention. They can't catch people like (Taliban leaders) Baitullah Mehsud and Maulvi Fazlullah but they send police after me, a very ordinary person."
There is also irony in progressive, secular activists like Abdullah joining hands with the emerging right-wing coalition to achieve a shared goal, the restoration of Choudhry.
Civil society activists privately admit that otherwise their numbers are too small to reach the critical mass needed to effect political change.
"There are only a handful of us," one of them told IPS. "And there are no more than 100,000 lawyers in the country. So we have to join hands with political forces who agree with us on this matter even if we don't agree on other matters. We know they are using us, but we are also using them."
Observers like the political economist and former student activist S.M. Naseem fear that this kind of mutual 'using' could push Pakistan further towards right-wing forces.
Disappointed by the performance of the government as well as the opposition, he holds that the lawyers' movement has missed the opportunity of creating a new polity in the country. "They should have broadened the agenda to create a new political system," he told IPS. "Two years for the restoration of one person (Choudhry), however, honest and bold, is a bit too much."
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gillani has said that he cannot, in all conscience, oppose the long march. "We have also participated in street agitations and long marches," he said. "How can we stop anyone else from exercising their democratic right to do so?"
This stand appears to pit him against President Zardari, holding an office strengthened by past military dictators. The President's powers include being able to dismiss the prime minister and dissolve government – as several presidents before him have done. This is unlikely to happen now. For Zardari to take such a step would mean dismissing his own government.
Having recently obtained a majority in the Senate, the PPP can conceivably push through the constitutional amendments it proposed in May 2008 for which a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly and the Senate is required. These amendments include the removal of the 17th amendment that allows the President to dismiss government.
Moves towards reconciliation between the PPP and the PML-N continue behind the scenes, even as the long march kicks off with lawyers and political activists from various cities heading towards Islamabad to converge by Mar. 6 for a dharna (or sit-in) 'until the Chief Justice is restored'.
Observers fear a breakout of violence even though the long march leaders have promised to keep matters peaceful.

Q: How to use a variable as index to subset a dataframe in R? I am trying to figure out how to use a variable as index to subset a dataframe. If I use numeric values I do not have any problem to select the columns I'm interested in from the dataframe:
m1 <- c(0.3,0.2,0.1,0.1,0.3,0)
m2 <- c(0.1,0.1,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.2)
m3 <- c(0.2,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.2,0)

input <- data.frame(m1,m2,m3)

# I select the first two columns
example <- input[,1:2]

and the output is what I expect:
   m1  m2
1 0.3 0.1
2 0.2 0.1
3 0.1 0.1
4 0.1 0.2
5 0.3 0.3
6 0.0 0.2

However, if I define the variable m <- 1L or like m<-1 and I try to extract the columns:
example2 <- input[,m:m+1]

The output is:
[1] 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.2

Why? And how to use a variable as index to select columns from a dataframe?

A: you need to wrap m+1 in parenthesis so its get calculated before the 1:part is evaluated.
here's why:
> 1:2+1
[1] 2 3  #the numeric vactor 1:2, with the value of 1 added to it
> 1:(2+1)
[1] 1 2 3 #the numeric vector 1:3

While doing a spot check on code and configuration – I noticed that the developer wasn't throwing a runtime exception nor was he setting rollbackOnly in a CMT EJB.
I was told that any exception will rollback a transaction and it is not possible to setRollbackOnly, and there are only 4 types of transaction attributes on CMT. Wrong, wrong and wrong.
1. If your code throws an application exception – the container expects the bean to handle it. However, if your bean throws a runtime exception (or subclass), like javax.ejb.Exception – the container will rollback the transaction.
2. If you don't want to throw RTEs all around your code – and/or you have massive catch all exception code blocks, you should context.setRollbackOnly – to rollback transactions.
3. There are various transaction attributes – 6 to be exact: Requires, Requires New, Supports, Not Supported, Never & Mandatory. Never and Mandatory are opposite to one another. Requires starts a transaction if not called with one, Mandatory will throw an exception if called without a transaction, Supports will use one if there is one, but won't complain….rest are self explanatory.
Java EE 5–No Entity Beans!
I've always done ORM with HIbernate –and it helped a lot with cardinality (besides ORM general features).
Regardless of cardinality, entities should never be non-singular from a naming convention stand point.
In Bidirectional relationships – the inverse side must refer to its owning side via the mappedBy element.
In n:1, the many side always owns the relationship. In n:n – it doesn't matter.
All in all the beauty of Java Persistence API is that it has all the features that Hibernate had – and then makes things a lot simpler with Annotations. I never was a fan of annotations when they first surfaced, but I have slowly come to like it. I like the encapsulation it provides.
You can mix non-entity super classes with entity super classes, use polymorphic associations, queries etc. It is surprisingly flexible.
Three basic strategies remained consistent in ORM land – 1 table per class (or class per table) – usually you will have a database structure before you have the object structure.

Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday urged a "greater opening" by Iran to the international community as he met Tehran's new ambassador to the Vatican.
"Iran is a great nation... and its people have a deep religious sensibility," the pope said as he accepted Ali Akbar Naseri's credentials.
"That may be a reason to hope for a greater opening and confident collaboration with the international community," he said as a long-running stand-off over Iran's nuclear programme appeared inching towards a resolution.
"We must all hope and support a new phase of international cooperation," said the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Benedict also urged greater freedom of religion and conscience, saying: "Among universal rights, religious freedom and freedom of conscience hold a fundamental place because they are the source of other freedoms."
Early this year the pope said Catholic priests and other religious figures working in the Islamic Republic had a "difficult mission" in reaching Christian communities there and proposed a bilateral commission to foster "reciprocal understanding."
Iran's 65 million-strong population includes some 20,000 Chaldean, Armenian and Latin Catholics.
"Catholics have been present in Iran since the first centuries of Christianity," Benedict said, adding: "This community is truly Iranian."
He said the Church was "confident that the Iranian authorities will strengthen and ensure the freedom of Christians to profess their faith, and ensure the Catholic community the conditions essential for its existence."
Notably, the pope urged greater freedom of movement for clergy "to serve the pastoral needs of the faithful."

When he's not busy overcoming obstacles: Maddux plays the guitar and loves listening to all types of music.
Did you know fact: Maddux's fight with cancer inspired UFC fighter, Cody Garbrandt, to work harder and win a championship title. Cody gave his UFC championship belt to Maddux as a token of appreciation for being an example to live by.
Why Maddux is a #ACHero: Maddux was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia at 5 years old. Instead of starting kindergarten, he began a 3.5 year chemo treatment plan that took courage and determination to get through, inspiring a fighter and a community in the process.
Maddux's Story: In life, some days stick out more than others – birthdays and the first day of school often top the list. For Maddux Maple, June 15, 2011, is one of those unforgettable dates. At just 5 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer.
After suffering with extreme stomach pain for 2 days, Maddux's mom brought him to Akron Children's where doctors ran a host of tests to determine the cause. When his bone marrow test came back positive, hematology-oncology director, Dr. Jeffrey Hord, confirmed Maddux had acute lymphocyctic leukemia.
Maddux was certain to show Dr. Jeffrey Hord the championship belt from Cody.
Maddux's spleen was 10 times larger than normal so treatment started right away. The day after diagnosis, Maddux was fitted with a port to help minimize the weekly 'pokes' he'd receive for his chemotherapy treatments.
The first 30 days of treatment were intense and then his treatment schedule changed from weekly to biweekly doses of chemotherapy. Although it was a welcomed change, Maddux had an aggressive form of cancer so he needed to continue treatment for 3.5 years.
During the course of treatment, Maddux's immune system became weak. He contracted pneumonia and a sinus infection that took weeks to clear up. The chemo caused sores in his mouth and esophagus, making it difficult to eat and swallow. And then came the foot pain.
Nearly 10 months into treatment, Maddux quit walking because of the severe pain in his feet and legs, a common side effect from his medication. He started physical therapy which helped with his mobility.
But, Maddux found adjusting to first grade challenging.
As luck would have it, Maddux found a new friend and one that had his back. Cody Garbrandt, an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) amateur fighter at the time, was living in Maddux's hometown and heard about his battle with cancer. The two became fast friends.
Maddox did the Color Run 5K in New Philadelphia with his mom, Stephani, and sister, Makyah.
Now, 3 years into remission, Maddux comes to the Showers Family Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders every 3 months for a checkup and still suffers with leg and feet pain.
"He just keeps pushing through it…He has no idea the battle that he's won," said Stephani.

Tite Margwelaschwili (, German: Titus von Margwelaschwili) (1891–1946) was a Georgian philosopher and writer. He studied at the University of Leipzig and did a doctor's degree in history at the University Halle-Wittenberg in 1914. His career in Georgia was interrupted by the Soviet invasion of the Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1921.

A member of the Georgian National Democratic Party and a staunch opponent of the Bolshevik regime, he emigrated to Germany and quickly emerged as one of the leaders of Georgian political emigration, being elected a chairman of a sizeable Georgian émigré colony in Berlin. He lectured philosophy and Oriental studies at the Frederick William University of Berlin and worked for the Georgian émigré newspaper The Caucasus. He suffered a family tragedy in June 1933, when his wife Mariam committed suicide because she was homesick.

After the end of World War II he lived in Berlin-Wilmersdorf in the British sector of Berlin. In December 1945 he was decoyed to East Berlin by Soviet NKVD agents who used the notable philosopher Shalva Nutsubidze as an enticement. Arrested during his visit to Nutsubidze, Margwelaschwili was detained in a prison in the eastern part of the city, interrogated and tortured, deported to Tbilisi and shot as a traitor in August 1946. His son, Giwi, subsequently a conspicuous German-Georgian writer, was placed in a Soviet Special Camp at Sachsenhausen for 18 months.

well structured, developed, and unified. Pagination (for fictional texts line numbers (for poetic texts time stamp (for video) is correctly delineated in parentheses at the ends of sentences. Failure to do so will result in loss of points. Their thesis does not need to cite every source used; however, students should be prepared to discuss how the resources they used helped to shape their ideas and perceptions. There are few grammatical, punctuation, or usage errors. Consider the question: Why do they think women have dominated the nursing profession? If the writer cites any long"s, he/she explains and/or closely reads those"s in detail.
Feel free to include more sources. . The argument incorporates a minimum of 7 textual references from both primary and secondary sources. . Paste a copy of the grading rubric below at the end of your document (immediately following the References page/entries). . Before giving students the lesson materials, discuss that a thesis statement is a concise summary or main point of research paper or essay. Thus, clothing and fashion functioned as a political instrument that imposed patterns of behavior, leading to another aspect of the monarchy-show. See resources in our CM folder and use. If working collaboratively, assign one group member as the spokesperson. The introduction sets up and justifies the thesis. Remember not to let long"s dominate argument. Getting Started: Discuss with your students that while it may seem strange in our modern world; for thousands of years people were born at home, died at home and, if they became ill, were treated at home.


Ornithodoros brodyi and Ornithodoros yumatensis are two species distributed in the Americas and associated with bats and caves. Both species have similar morphology, and the diagnostic traits of adults have not been detailed or illustrated accurately. In this study, the independence of both species is validated on the basis of molecular evidence (using partial sequences of 16S rDNA gene), and the morphological differences between them (dentition of the hypostome and traits of individual mammillae) are confirmed through light and scanning electron microscopy. In addition to the above characteristics, we observed other traits that may serve to differentiate both species: dorsal setae are short and thick in O. yumatensis and are thin and moderate in size in O. brodyi. We also observed a conspicuous hood in O. brodyi, which was absent in O. yumatensis. Another characteristic observed is a line of setae, near the end of Tarsi II-IV, which in O. brodyi is formed by less than five setae and in O. yumatensis by more than five. The main morphological difference between larvae of the 2 species is the number of ventral setae [9 (4 circumanal pairs) in O. brodyi and 8 (3 circumanal pairs) in O. yumatensis]. The genetic divergence in 16S rDNA sequences between these two species ranges from 9.7 to 10.6%.

Click here for PlaySmelter 2014 full release
Sudbury, ON – From May 6– 10, four new plays will be given their first readings in front of a live audience as part of PlaySmelter, at the Jubilee Centre. Governor General's Award-winning playwright Colleen Murphy will join local writers Karen Thistle, Jenny Hazelton, Jesse Brady and North Bay native Kristin Shepherd in this initiative, produced by Pat the Dog Theatre Creation. The series, now in its second year, offers the rare opportunity for an audience to get their hands dirty by participating in the development of these important works-in-progress. All readings feature performances by local actors, and will be followed by lively discussions, accompanied by delicious offerings from new Sudbury vegetarian/vegan hotspot, The HeartBeet Café.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS – playsmelter.ca
Tuesday, May 6th – Festival Kick-off – Playwrights' Cabaret, a reading by Governor General's Award-winning playwright Colleen Murphy.
Wednesday, May 7th – The Intermediaries by Karen Thistle. A young woman, facing the pressures of high school and growing pains, is entrusted with the care of the magical beings that inhabit Bell Park.
Thursday, May 8th – Dead Pan Land by Jenny Hazelton. Two people are drawn magnetically together. A riveting piece of physical theatre about the adventure of breaking free from the mundane day-to-day routine.
Friday, May 9th – Hope Op by Kristin Shepherd. A hilarious and poignant look at ageing. In their daily yoga class, four women plan a hostile takeover of a supermarket.
Saturday, May 10th – The Ballad of the Locked Out Gang by Jesse Brady. Mired in a long and bitter strike, a group of miners plot a daring gold heist.
All readings begin at 7:00pm at the Jubilee Centre (195 Applegrove). Admission to each evening is Pay-What-You-Can (suggested minimum $10).
The Festival will also feature Development Sessions for budding writers. During the afternoon of May 10th, from 2pm-6pm, instructor-led discussions will be offered on a variety of theatre creation hot-topics. Space in these intensives is limited, so please contact Matthew Heiti, at matthew@patthedog.org for more information.
In just its second year, PlaySmelter is a grassroots festival that is getting attention from outside the city. In addition to the funders from the pilot year (including Ontario Trillium Foundation) who remain committed Pat the Dog can boast new and increased funding from Canada Council ($15,000), OAC Northern Arts ($12,500), Access Copyright Foundation ($7500). Supported by local partnerships with The Days Inn, The HeartBeet Café and STC, the Festival is quickly growing. "We are thrilled that these are both provincial and national funders," says Pat the Dog's Artistic Director Lisa O'Connell. "It is proof of the value of local art being created here in Sudbury."
All dollars raised for PlaySmelter stay in Sudbury. This year, the Festival will hire more than 30 local Arts and Culture workers over the course of a month, and all are compensated based on professional union rates. Many of the writers have gained experience through the Playwrights' Junction workshop at the Sudbury Theatre Centre. Several of the writers featured at PlaySmelter have gone on to be professionally workshopped, and one of last year's scripts, Blind Nickel Pig, by Lara Bradley, will received its premiere professional production by Sudbury's Encore Theatre Company.
Pat the Dog Theatre Creation www.patthedog.org is dedicated to the support and advocacy of playwrights and their plays, and is the only playwright development centre in Ontario open to both established and emerging artists. Pat the Dog has more than 300 members across Ontario and is a member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada, the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas and the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres. For the past two years, PTD has been working to develop and promote Sudbury playwrights.
