Protecting Women the Taliban Way..!
Afghani women who had feared and dreaded the entry of the Taliban applauded the news that the Taliban leadership now shouted across to them, "We will protect you, don't be scared!"
"I told you not to be fearful," said the father of one of the young women. "I told you they are not cruel. They! are actually talking about protecting you. Now I don't have to be worried when you come back so late in the evening!"
"Just to stay out till five was a fight with you!" whispered the daughter.
"Anyway, now you are going to be protected and I'm happy!" said the father, "What's that?"
"Somebody is knocking!" said his daughter fearfully.
"Ah must be your protection force!" said the father as he made his way to the entrance and as his daughter looked fearfully. "Welcome! Welcome brothers!"
"We have come to protect your daughter!" said the bearded thug as the father first nodded happily then was startled as he was pushed aside and the man went to the girl, "Come with us!"
"No!" screamed the girl, "I am well protected here!"
"Protected?" asked the fighter in disbelief, "But I can see your face! And when I see the face of a woman other than my wife, I have undesirable thoughts. I must protect you from myself!"
"So, don't look at me!" screamed the girl.
"Protect yourself!" said the thug, "Cover your face with sackcloth for now! That is our first protective act!"
"No!" screamed the girl.
"Now shut your mouth woman! That is our second way of protection! Does she have a cellphone? A laptop?" asked the thug.
"That's how we keep in touch with her!" explained the father.
"Put her laptop and phone in this sack!"
"Don't take my phone!" screamed the girl, behind the sackcloth covering her face.
"Ssshhh, no sound from you. You now are a protected woman. And protected women have no voice!"
"Thank you sir!" said the father, his voice trembling, "I will see your orders are followed!"
"You?" asked the Taliban thug, "You?"
"Yes!" said the father.
"You have not been able to protect her all these years, so she will be in our protection. Here you," said the chief beckoning to a young man in his group, "Take her. She is yours. Yours to protect!"
And as the girl was led away by her new thug hubby-to-be, she screamed, "The world won't forgive you for what you are doing to us women!"
The thug looked at her and whispered, "But isn't this what other countries are also doing, under the name of 'protection'!" He whispered a name to her and she stared mournfully, through the sackcloth at me..!

8 thoughts on "Protecting Women the Taliban Way..!"
Sadly this is happening everywhere in the garb of protection.
sharad vishnu prabhudesai says:
That is because female is considered as instrument of enjoyment and factory of production even today! More so in Taliban religion!!
Sonia Rodrigues says:
Yes a sad reality that prevails in many places It's really tragic that the one who gives birth to humanity has to fight to be treated as a human being.
Dowry is for protection of the brides from the thugs who take them from their homes in the garb of the bridegrooms. Instead of grooming them,they fleece them or flog them when their demands are not met
Right from birth girls should be treated on par with boys . Equality in education, opportunities to flourish , academically, financially and socially, so that they can be competent and strong , and in a position to stand and deal with demanding situations.
Given the opportunity women are powerful enough to stomp on eggshells that most men carefully tread upon !
Souji Jose says:
Praying for God's protection on all women and children. At our homes , we have to stop our partiality towards boys. Girls need to be respected at her home as a human being by her grandfather,father, brothers, uncles, and all men. Then women will feel safe.
Shabbir Sikandar says:
Men feel insecure when women try to be equal to men. Almost all Religions and laws are men made to protect men. Except in some parts of the world, women are liberated. In India Sati Pratha and Devdasi were celebrated. Many temples still don't allow women to enter. Some rituals not allowed for women. Men are main culprits.
Philip Dinno george says:
Taliban and other Muslim leaderships should be commanded by woman only then will they learn to respect one.

Portland, OR (August 3, 2010)--CD Baby has surpassed the $150 million milestone in payments to the independent artists who sell their music through the company.
Starting from beginnings in a garage in Woodstock, NY, CD Baby has become one of the world's largest digital distributors, and expects to pay close to $40 million to artists in 2010.
"Independent artists are frequently marginalized by the music industry; these stats prove once again that collectively, DIY artists are a force to be reckoned with," stated Brian Felsen, president of CD Baby. "And we're picking up momentum, with new title signups doubling in recent months."
The company added 18,000 new titles for the second quarter, up almost 70 percent from the previous year, and a record for the 12-year-old company. This growth was due, in part, to the recent launch of its digital singles program and music uploader. For only $9 per track, CD Baby will digitally distribute an artist's song to a large network of download stores, including iTunes, Amazon MP3, Rhapsody, Spotify, CD Baby and many more.
Said Felsen, "This rapid growth proves how quickly music creators are changing their recording and release patterns to match the increased market appetite for singles. And speaking as a music fan, it's incredible to think that every day, hundreds of talented artists are creating quality work which we'll help share with the world."

Dear Stu, you might be a good novelist but you're a lousy historian.
The latest Guardian science blog by Stuart Clark contains a piece of history of science stupidity that can only be explained by assuming that he hit the Kool Aid before putting finger to keyboard.
Like many science bloggers Dr Clark has decided to add his voice to the mighty chorus crying shame over the more than somewhat bizarre court judgement in the Italian earthquake case. Also like several of his Internet colleagues he has chosen to draw parallels with the equally notorious case of Galileo Galilei from 1633. This is in my opinion an unwise move. In general trying to draw comparisons across centuries of history is not usually a very good idea. Put simply circumstances change. The social and political contexts of the two cases are completely different. Just to take some simple points; the one case is in a democratic country in a civil court in the twenty-first century, the other is in an absolutist state, in an ecclesiastical tribunal in the seventeenth century. It's not even a case of comparing apples and oranges, more like comparing apples and orang-utans!
Having said all of that Clark actually makes some fairly valid and intelligent points. Having established that the earthquake case is one of bad science communication and not one of bad science he then goes on to claim that Galileo's case was also one of bad science communication. This is only partially correct as the case had several dimensions of which the bad science communication was only one and not necessarily the most important. However given the usual rubbish that people spout when talking about the trial of Galileo, Clark certainly earns quite a few Brownie points. He then even improves on his own performance by pointing out that Galileo was actually making scientific claims that he couldn't back up with evidence, never a very smart move. So far so good.
So why have I called the good Dr Clark a lousy historian? Am I just being mean spirited? No! The sting is in the tail. Having actually written a reasonably sensible article he then goes and spoil it all in his third from last paragraph with some statements of breath taking stupidity as he steps in it with both feet.
In 1633, the punitive treatment of Galileo eviscerated the practice of astronomy in Italy for centuries. He was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life and although the conviction was for miscommunication, astronomy itself became toxic. Even the staunchly Catholic Society of Jesus moved its astronomical efforts to the far east (sic) to stay out of the Vatican's gaze.
In the first sentence he writes, "…eviscerated the practice of astronomy in Italy for centuries". Now eviscerated literally mean gutted, that is disembowelled. So he is claiming that Italian astronomy was demolished, destroyed, wiped out, became effectively non-existent, disappeared from the face of the earth, or whichever suitably dramatic means of destruction you prefer; a strong claim indeed. This however is not enough, this hatchet job on the ancient and honourable science of astronomy was not for a few months or a couple of years but for centuries, note the plural. This means for at least two hundred years, which would take us to 1833! However if one means two centuries then one usually says a couple of centuries; centuries without qualifications implies much more, three or four or … This would of course take us past the present day. Lets be generous and say that Dr Clark got a little carried away in the heat of the moment and he really meant to say a century and not centuries. Does this improve his chances of being right? No, unfortunately it doesn't.
I'm not going to write a complete history of seventeenth century Italian astronomy post Galileo but I will indulge in some cherry picking to demonstrate that the good Dr Clark is talking through his posterior. Before I do so I should point out that the Jesuit mission to the Far East, including the transmission of European astronomy, started long before the trial of Galileo and has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Galileo gained his fame through his telescopic observations so let us start with the history of the telescope in astronomy post Galileo. The first person to successfully develop an astronomical or Keplerian telescope was Francesco Fontana (1580 – 1656) an Italian astronomer. He was superseded as the leading European telescope maker by Eustachio Divini (1610 – 1685), an Italian astronomer, who also made several important astronomical discoveries. Divini reigned supreme until challenged and in his turn superseded as Europe's number one by Giuseppe Campini (1635 – 1715) an Italian astronomer whose telescopes were purchased by all of the leading European astronomers. It was Campini and not Cassini who first observed the so-called Cassini Division in the Rings of Saturn.
Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625 – 1712) was of course an Italian astronomer and a Jesuit educated and trained one at that. Some people might object that Cassini worked in France, and not Italy, as the de facto head of the Paris Observatory but he was already regarded as one of the leading European astronomers when he became the subject of the most expensive transfer deal in seventeenth century astronomy, moving from professorship at the University of Bologna to Paris. Cassini was a protégée of Riccioli and Grimaldi. Giovanni Battista Riccioli (1598 -1671) was a Jesuit priest who was the first to successfully confirm Galileo's laws of fall whilst his partner Francesco Maria Grimaldi (1618- 1663), another Jesuit priest, was the first to observe and describe optical diffraction. Together they produced one of the most accurate maps of the moon.
Astronomy is a science that requires the accumulation of vast quantities of data, best accomplished as a collective activity. In the seventeenth century Athanasius Kircher (1601 -1680), also a Jesuit priest, who was not an Italian, but was professor of Mathematics at the Collegio Romano, the Jesuit University in Rome, collected data from Jesuit and non-Jesuit astronomers throughout the world that he collated and then distributed throughout the European astronomical community.
The list goes on. Niccolò Zucchi (1586 -1670) Jesuit astronomer and friend of Galileo famous for his failed attempt to construct a reflecting telescope. Giovanni Battista Zupi (1590 -1650), Jesuit astronomer, who was the first to observe the orbital phases of mercury, thus proving that it orbited the sun. Geminiano Montanari (1633 -1687), Italian astronomer, was the first to demonstrate that Algol is a variable star. Carlo Antonio Manzini (1599 – 1668), Italian astronomer, was the first to publish an account of how to grind and polish telescope lenses.
I could go on but I don't wish to bore my readers. If you have come this far I think you will agree that for an eviscerated corpse seventeenth century Italian astronomy proved remarkably lively and that the Jesuit seem to have been rather present and not withdrawn at all.

May be your should also write about the Jesuit contirbution to astronomy but I suspect the book has been written by someone else and runs to many volumes.
I have written several posts on the Jesuit contributions to science and been accused of being a religious apologist for my troubles 😉
John Farrell
The other great howler is that he writes Galileo was condemned for … miscommunication??
Jim Harrison
The Jesuits were teaching Newtonian astronomy by the middle of the 18th Century, not only because they were always determined to be au currant scientifically but because Newton's theological outlook wasn't all that foreign to them. Jonathan Israel's enormous books on the various phases of the Enlightenment contain a great deal of documentation on this issue. Of course there really were Catholic theological writers in the 18th Century that took an obscurantist view of everything. If you look for Spanish monks who sound like Texas school board members, you'll find 'em. (Israel quotes them too.)

If they were au currant, were they also avec raisin?

Reblogged this on In the Dark and commented:
I'm a bit poorly today and just have time to crawl out of my sick bed to reblog this nice takedown of a rather silly article in the Guardian Science Blog…
This was very interesting, thank you.
In the cartoon history of science which resides in my head, Galieo's trial put off the investigation of the vacuum in Italy during the 1600's. Is that fair?
stringph
This is a nice treatment of one short paragraph in the piece.. but, we are left hanging as to what you really think about either of the trials. So there were 'several dimensions of which the bad science communication was only one and not necessarily the most important.' – may we know which ones *were* the most important?
Ian Paul Wragg
Thony said "I have written several posts on the Jesuit contributions to science and been accused of being a religious apologist for my troubles".
Take some comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone in the universe.
A fellow Aussie who describes himself as a "Wry, dry, rather sarcastic, eccentric, occasionally arrogant Irish-Australian atheist bastard" has been on the end of that charge numerous times for daring to bust popular myths.

"the humiliation felt by young educated people as a group (which) is usually at the source of nationalism or political romanticism"
Czeslaw Milosz Beginning with My Street: essay; On Nationalism
Just ordered a copy of Milosz book after reading this cite in Jonathan Ropers, Folklore and Nationalism in the 19th century. So not had a chance to deal or digest it fully, but it did make me think of this issue and it's repetition.
Stuart Clark is certainly typical of a particular group of educated people.
I don't think I would want to suggest that an analogy with nationalism fully explains the tendency of popular H.O.S to commit fully to romance and folklore but it would seem to be a credible potential way- in to identifying some of the factors at play.

← NEWS: Rexall replaces Brunswick House ON THE COVER (April 2016): Tracking history in the Annex →
NEWS: Bloor Street goes green
April 7th, 2016 · No Comments
Plan to transform underutilized space
"This is a major greening initiative for the neighbourhood"—Jonathan Da Silva, Bloor-Annex BIA
By Annemarie Brissenden
Bloor Street West is about to get a whole lot greener, and it's all thanks to the trees.
Currently confined to box planters, Bloor Street's trees are suffering. The concrete boxes — sometimes known as tree coffins — prevent saplings from growing to maturity and obstruct pedestrians on an increasingly denser sidewalk.
Stuck in a constant cycle of replacing ailing trees, and recognizing that future development in the area will only make Bloor Street a whole lot busier, the Bloor-Annex BIA (whose chair also publishes this newspaper) has cultivated a plan that will grow a thriving urban canopy, provide the area with much-needed additional green space, make the sidewalk more pedestrian-friendly, and add bike parking.
"This is a progressive, wonderful initiative that highlights how BIAs in our part of the world have a vital role to play," said Sue Dexter of the Harbord Village Residents' Association (HVRA).
There are three components to the BIA's plan: getting rid of Bloor Street's 35 planter boxes and planting new trees in clusters on the north side of the street; increasing bike parking by adding corrals on side streets; and converting four disused rights-of-way into parkettes at Brunswick Avenue, Robert Street, Major Street, and Howland Avenue.
The work will be done in 2018, when the City of Toronto is scheduled to repave the street and do some sidewalk infrastructure work, which will minimize any disruption to the area. It is expected to cost between $1.5 and $2 million.
The BIA has been setting aside $100,000 per year and has approximately $350,000 already set aside for the project. It also expects to receive additional capital from the city's public realm division, the forestry department, and matching funds from the city's 50/50 cost share program. It may also seek Section 37 funding, and will borrow money should it prove necessary to make up any shortfall. Dtah, a firm known for its work on the Queen's Quay revitalization, is developing the design of the project.
"In a period where a lot of exciting changes are happening, this is a major greening initiative for the neighbourhood," said Jonathan Da Silva, the promotions committee chair of the Bloor-Annex BIA, who is also the communications director of the Hot Docs Festival. "We want to make the Annex more of a destination location."
For Albert Koehl, vice chair of the Annex Residents' Association, the proposal "underlines the fact that this is already a destination".
"This initiative, the push for bike lanes, and [the push for] lower speed limits are all part of celebrating the neighbourhood for what it is," said Koehl. "[The Annex] is not just a speck out of the corner of your eye when you pass by."
Both Koehl and Dexter are particularly excited about the addition of the parkettes.
"Seniors need a place to rest, or parents with a baby stroller," said Koehl.
"Someone walking along Bloor Street [will] have a sanctuary to sit and have a coffee under the shade of a tree," added Dexter, who noted that the HVRA had coincidentally identified some of the sites for boulevard greening as part of the association's greening plan.
Koehl said he is particularly impressed that the BIA plan uses underutilized and/or forgotten spaces.
"We have wasted a lot of space," agreed Dexter. "It's time to start reclaiming paved space."
Da Silva explained that the BIA recognized that greening is a high priority for the residents' associations, and that the plan will not only ensure a green canopy on Bloor Street, but add to the visual experience of the Annex.
The BIA's plan includes green elements inside and out: permeable surfaces will retain storm water, seating will be carved from granite offcuts, all wood will be sustainably harvested, and indigenous flora and fauna will be used in the plantings. There will also be a water bottle refilling station at the Brunswick Avenue parkette.
"We are making a very Annex statement," said Bloor-Annex BIA chair Brian Burchell of the proposal.
Da Silva said that the BIA is also looking for ways to recognize local history and emphasize the unique dynamism of the area.
Annex residents will get their first opportunity to review the Bloor-Annex BIA's proposal at an April 18 open house from 4 to 8 p.m. at Markham House (610 Markham St.). The plan will be submitted to the city for review by January 2017, and if approved, work will begin in 2018.

Student debt and College Presidents Pay
A Nation Fails Its Youth When Millions Go to College Presidents, Not Students
http://my.firedoglake.com/brandonj/2013/12/18/a-nation-fails-its-youth-when-millions-are-given-to-presidents-not-students/
A recent report by The Chronicle for Higher Education has found 42 private college presidents made over $1 million in executive pay, up from last year's figure of 36 millionaire presidents. The list was based on 2011 federal tax data from institutions receiving endowments.
University of Chicago president Robert J. Zimmer was first on the list with $3,358,723 in total compensation. This is an increase compared to former New School president Bob Kerrey's total compensation of $3,047,703 when he was first last year. Last year, Zimmer was ninth on the list with $1,597,918 as compensation.
To place the salary in context, the University of Chicago, for the 2011-12 year, had its tuition and fees as $43,780. The average debt of students, in 2012, was $22,663 and 34 percent of students graduated with debt that same year, according to Project on Student Debt.
Last year, when The New York Times reported on the list, Jack Stripling commented on issue that has grown since last year — inflated pay:
'There's no indication in these data that boards are retracting in term of presidential pay,' said Jack Stripling, a senior reporter at The Chronicle. 'Over the long run, we're still seeing more presidents who are paid at an elite level.'
One major problem associated with the pay is the focus of universities to attract the best talent for the betterment of the university, despite a major crisis sitting directly in their faces with two out of five college graduates stating their full-time job doesn't need a degree in the first place.
In fact, student debt has also been a major issue with a recent report by the Project on Student Debt stating seven in 10 college students graduated with debt in 2012 with the average being $29,400 or. As they wrote:
The national share of seniors graduating with loans rose in recent years, from 68 percent in 2008 to 71 percent in 2012, while their debt at graduation increased by an average of six percent per year. Even though the financial crisis caused a substantial decline in private education lending while these borrowers were in school, about one-fifth (20%) of their debt is comprised of private loans, which are typically more costly and provide fewer consumer protections and repayment options than safer federal loans.
The situation is worsening so much that even The Onion joked on the crisis with a story titled "30-Year-Old Has Earned $11 More Than He Would Have Without College Education." Yet, the response by the board of trustees at these private colleges (and even in public colleges) is surprise at the thought of their president making less, rather than students facing a future of crisis. As Stripling wrote in a recent article over the matter:
College presidents tend to cringe when their compensation makes headlines, but in some cases trustees are disappointed that their leaders do not rank higher on the national pay scale. Such was the case at the University of Pennsylvania, where board members, in 2010, were surprised to see Amy Gutmann trailing 14 other presidents in The Chronicle's compensation analysis.
This is occurring when, according to a recent Gallup poll, 93 percent of Americans view college as "important." Moreover, 73 percent specifically cite college as "very important." Is the point of college to inflate pay of presidents, while students face a bleak future where one in 10 jobs are retail for example?
Journalist Jeff Madrick penned a piece titled "The Real Lost Generation" in the December edition of Harper's Magazine that explored the prospect of jobs for youths. In the article, he explored an alarming segment of our society— threat of unemployment:
In the past decade, the percentage of teens working summer jobs has fallen nearly to post-World war II lows. The all-time peak, of 50 percent, was in 1978; that figure experienced only minor fluctuations throughout the Eighties and Nineties, and in 2000 it stood at a healthy 52 percent. It is not down to 30 percent. For young people of color the numbers are worse—about one in five for black teens and one in four for Hispanic teens. The farther down a teen's parents are on the income ladder, the lower this employment rate.
Now it's obvious this can't be blamed on the presidents since they (thankfully) have no jurisdiction over national policies. Yet, the median household income in the United States was $51,017 in 2012, while $410,523 was the median pay for all the college presidents. With the latter figure eight times bigger than what households got in 2012 (not much different with the 2011 household figure), why is this allowed to occur?
Colleges, as mentioned before, view their presidents as a celebrity, which gives publicity for the college in the long. Thus, higher pay is given to whoever has the best talent. It is eerily similar to the neoclassical argument, perhaps the "tournament theory" by economists Edward P. Lazear and Sherwin Rosen, that increased pay makes other presidents more productive to get the job.
However, as economists Rod Hyatt and Tonny Myatt argue in The Economics Anti-Textbook, "there are no strong or consistent relationship between CEO pay and firm size, profitability or growth, neither across industries nor over time." While they referred to private industries, the same can be said for private colleges that have the same mentality.
Though, this refers back to the entire point of college. As Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus remarked in Higher Education?, the point of education is make interesting students rather than interesting presidents. Under what circumstances do six or seven-figure salaries merit anything close to a necessity for the college? Perhaps in a society that values image rather than results.
Though, it's fitting when wondering on the mass fortune the presidents now hold considering some are given six-figure "bonus pay." Students enter the colleges, hoping to achieve a well-paying job and moving above their socio-economic class. However, most of them enter a classroom where their professor is probably an adjunct who has low-pay, no benefits and is probably on food stamps. In fact, nearly 70 percent of professors nation-wide are adjuncts.
Students will probably end up in the same the situation their professors are in as the college president (and perhaps the administration as well) reap millions. One microcosm for the status of the United States today is the college regarding income inequality. Income inequality is a subject with a vast amount of articles on it (making it an unfortunate redundant point with no aggressive solutions), but it's something when it rivals the inequality in 1928.
This is not to suggest inflated pay is the only major problem with education in the United States. There are a myriad of problems with education in general that merits abolishing the social construct we've made and forming an entirely new one based on real education, rather than schooling. Yet, this is one problem occurring with a list released every year in the same style the Forbes Top 400 richest Americans list comes out — to show who are the elite in society.
Madrick asked a fundamental question in his column: "What happens when a nation fails its youth?" One consequence can be suggested as college presidents feeling satisfied with their six or seven-figure salaries as students worry on their future. But the question can expand further to: "What happens when a society fails its youth?"
The state of education is in disarray just like the state of capitalism. It is irrelevant and is in dire need of a new construction for students to be served properly. It is just one way to help bring sanity into an inane issue of whether college presidents should be paid millions in their first year.

Q: If $V=U_1+U_2+U_3$ and $U_1 \cap U_2 \cap U_3 = 0$($0$ as vectorial subspace), then V = $U_1\oplus U_2 \oplus U_3$? Let $V$ a vectorial space over a field $K$ and $U_1, U_2, U_3$ vectorial subspaces of V. If $V=U_1+U_2+U_3$ and $U_1 \cap U_2 \cap U_3 = 0$ ($0$ as vectorial subspace), then V = $U_1\oplus U_2 \oplus U_3$ ?
What I've tried:
I gave a counterexample:
Let $U_1 = \Bigl\langle \begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\0\end{pmatrix}\Bigl\rangle,U_2=\Bigl\langle\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\0\end{pmatrix}\Bigl\rangle$, $U_3=\Bigl\langle\begin{pmatrix}0\\0\\1\end{pmatrix}\Bigl\rangle$. So, $U_1 \cap U_2 \cap U_3 = 0$, $V=U_1+U_2+U_3$, but $U_1 \cap (U_2+U_3) \supset \begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\0\end{pmatrix}$, so $U_1\oplus U_2 \oplus U_3 \neq V$. Am I wrong ?

It is almost mid of the week but I am still not over the fun we had last weekend. I am planning to document my time in this city and what better way than to start with this post. Norwich was buzzing with Lord Mayor's celebrations on Saturday and a local shopping fair on Sunday called Norwich Lanes Fayre. If anything, this city knows how to make the most out of summertime! We decided to head out and check the carnival, snippets of which you would have seen on my Insta Stories! I had never seen so many people out on the roads till now and it was a beautiful sight. There were open air parties till late in the night and on Sunday celebrations started by 6 am in the morning! All in all it was a crazy fun weekend and we managed to click some pictures at the Funfair which I have put up here.
For someone who loves travelling, there is nothing better than getting to experience the local culture authentically. And these events are a perfect insight into that. Where the definition of travelling may be visiting famous monuments for some but for me it is about getting to live the local life while doing so. And I feel blessed to have this opportunity to experience a new culture in this new place. Well it was not easy adjusting to this city initially but there is nothing that time and some effort can't fix. I would say that Norwich has been a much needed change for me. Now I hope this change turns out to be a positive one in the future! On that note, I leave you with these pictures and I hope you enjoy the post.
If you are in UK or planning to visit, do spend some time in Norwich. I am sure it is going to leave a good impression on you!

More Philosophy (3511)
Books > Philosophy > Hindu > The Warrior And The Charioteer: A Materialist Interpretation of the Bhagavadgita
The Warrior And The Charioteer: A Materialist Interpretation of the Bhagavadgita
by V. M. Mohanraj
From the Jacket:
The Bhagavadgita is considered one of the core texts of Hindu philosophy and religion. Ever since the poem was composed, innumerable commentaries have been written which seek to explain the poem from the standpoint of philosophical idealism. Surprisingly, there has been little study of the poem from the materialist standpoint. The Warrior and the Charioteer seeks to fill this void.
This erudite study argues that we need to cut through the thick religio-philosophical crust of the poem to reach its ethical core. This exercise will enable us to unravel the socio-economic structure of contemporary society as revealed by the ethics expounded in the poem.
The author looks at the central characters of the poem, Krishna and Arjuna, and pulls down the mythical veil that conceals their historical faces: the former, a Yadava Chief, and the latter, the House of Bharatas. The author strips the terms Brahma and yajna of their symbolism and argues that the poem reflects the period of transition of Indo-Aryan society from the Barbaric Status to the Status of Civilization. The book also contains a fresh translation of the poem, the first from a materialist standpoint.
In simple and lucid prose, book offers a challenging and original interpretation of the Bhagavadgita, and is sure to be of immense value to scholars, believers, as well as lay readers.
V. M. Mohanraj (born 1928) is one of the most respected librarians in India, having worked at Madras University, Law College (Chennai), and The Lawrence School (Lovedale). He has six books and many articles to his credit and has contributed articles to the first ten-volume encyclopaedia in Malayalam. He is a recipient of H.H. The Maharaja of Travancore Gold Medal for proficiency in Malyalam.
A short poem encapsulating ideas drawn from different schools of philosophy- mainly the Upanishadic, the Sankhya and the Buddhist - in a simplified form to make it easily comprehensible to the common man, the Bhagavadgita, contrary to the generally held notion, is not a fundamental philosophical treatise. Nevertheless, there is a sizeable body of literature on the poem as myriad scholars, classical and modern, have written commentaries on it, most from the standpoint of philosophical idealism. Surprisingly, however, there is virtually no study of the poem from a materialist point of view. I have attempted to fill that gap.
It passes my comprehension why modern progressive thinkers have been apathetic towards this poem. Maybe, being a simple eclectic poem, it is seen as a propaedeutic work of philosophy and as such, is considered socially insignificant. However, it is a work wherein monotheism was put forward and king was equated with god to buttress the emerging monarchical slave States which were slowly but steadily supplanting the egalitarian tribal communes in the Indian subcontinent. As such, the social significance of this ostensibly philosophic and didactic poem cannot be missed or overlooked.
In modern times, the poem has been used to serve diverse political ends. Lokmanya Tilak invoked the poem to argue his case for a more militant nationalist programme than the Congress had hitherto adopted, while Mahatma Gandhi used the poem to propagate religious tolerance in the struggle against colonialism. More recently, as aggressive Hindu nationalism has asserted itself, the poem has been used for more ferocious ends. Progressive thinkers and leaders have, however, more or less ignored the poem.
More than half a century ago, in 1953, I published an article in a progressive Malayalam weekly, analysing the poem from a materialistic point of view. After a gap of more than four decades, in 1997, I published a paper, 'The Bhagavadgita - A Materialist Interpretation' in New Quest, the journal of the Indian Association for Cultural Freedom. The feedback to this, in general, was very positive, though there was one point of criticism. This was regarding my assumption that the Mahabharata War was not a figment of the poet's imagination but a historical fact, and that Krishna and Arjuna were not mere mythological characters, but historical personages. In the space of that paper, I had not been able to present my complete argument regarding this issue of the historicity of the war and the two protagonists of the poem. I have done this in Chapter 4 of the present book, 'The Personae'. I have viewed Krishna, as I had done in both the articles, not as a god of the Hindu pantheon, but as a human being on whom godhead had been thrust and who was looked upon as one of the ten incarnations of Vishnu. However, in my opinion, the Yadava Chief whom we meet as the charioteer of Arjuna was not the deified Krishna and I have put forward arguments to substantiate my view.
In my first article of 1953, I had characterized Krishna as a reactionary brahman chauvinist. When I began working on my later article, however, I realised that I was blatantly wrong. Looking at Krishna in the background of the period in which he flourished, I realised that he was neither a reactionary nor a brahman chauvinist but was, indubitably, a progressive thinker who supported the hierarchical pattern of the Indo-Aryan society in the interest of the stability and integrity of the then emerging social order in the form of monarchical slave States. To put it succinctly, he spearheaded the progressive forces of the Indo-Aryan society of his times and acted as their spokesman, just as Sun Yat-sen and Kemal Ataturk did at the turn of the nineteenth century for the then progressive forces, the national bourgeoisie, in China and Turkey respectively. It is on account of the progressive role played by Krishna then that even now he has a great appeal for the Hindus.
However I must confess.lest it gives a wrong impression, that it is not as if I have devoted halfa century to reading and researching for this book. My profession as a librarian kept me busy, as did various other commitments, and even though I have wanted to write this book for a while, I never quite got down to doing it till about four years ago. I retrieved and dusted the old folders in which I had kept my notes and delved deeper into the subject. The result is this little book.
When I finally began work on this book, I did not intend to translate the poem itself into English, since a large number of translations, bywestern Indologists as well as Indian scholars, already exist and are easily available. However, as I proceeded with the work on the book I had occasions to refer to some of the English versions, none of which, I felt, would serve my purpose. All the translations were by speculative philosophers of various hues and are palpably biased in the case of certain verses. I realised that translations of works like the Bhagavadgita tended to be in terpretative and if a reader of my book happened to refer to a translation of the poem by an idealist, she would undoubtedly get confused. So I thought it would be desirable to translate the poem myself presenting the sociological import of some of the verses, to which earlier translators have, naturally, given the idealistic slant.

Time to wake up to Mercosur threat – UFU
Ulster Farmers' Union president, Barclay Bell
Ulster Farmers' Union president, Barclay Bell, says UK politicians and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) need to wake up to the threat of the Mercosur trade negotiations on European food safety, animal welfare and the environment.
He made the comments in the wake of reports that the European Commission is set to increase its beef quota offer to the Mercosur states.
There has been much focus of late on calls made by UK politicians and NGOs to increase environmental and animal welfare regulations in the UK, post Brexit. However, these politicians and NGOs are nowhere to be seen nor heard in the debate around the serious threat posed by the Mercosur trade negotiations.
Barclay Bell, UFU president
"There has been much focus of late on calls made by UK politicians and NGOs to increase environmental and animal welfare regulations in the UK, post Brexit. However, these politicians and NGOs are nowhere to be seen nor heard in the debate around the serious threat posed by the Mercosur trade negotiations," said the UFU president.
South American countries do not come close to matching the food safety, animal welfare or environmental standards which farmers comply with in the UK and across Europe.
Mr Bell says it is scandalous that the European Commission is prepared to offer Mercosur increased concessions to export substandard agricultural products such as beef into the EU.
"Farmers in the UK comply with world leading standards and this is what UK consumers expect. So, it seems completely hypocritical for UK politicians and NGOs to want to keep raising the bar for UK farmers but yet accept much lower standards for inferior products exported from South America to the EU and which can ultimately end up in the UK," said Mr Bell.
"Politicians and NGOs urgently need to re-focus their priorities and wake up to the threat the Mercosur trade negotiations pose. We want to see fair and balanced trade arrangements.
"There is no question that food exported to the UK, should be produced to the exact same standards as food produced in the UK. To do otherwise will only undermine UK food production, food security and exacerbate the risk of environmental degradation in regions such as South America," concluded the UFU president.

Q: JSF - graphicImage - replace broken image I am wondering, is there a way to replace broken image with some other one in JSF when using grapicImage?
I found a solution in JavaScript:
<img src="image.png" onError="this.onerror=null;this.src='/images/noimage.gif';" />

However graphicImage doesn't support onError handling.

A: It possible using a simple jQuery script:
<script type="text/javascript">
      jQuery(document).ready(function() {
      var $ = jQuery;
      var Element = ".poster";
      $(Element).error(function () {
          $(this).unbind("error").attr("src", "error.jpeg");
      });
      });

Remembrance ceremonies: The need to include the non-religious
Naomi Phillips, British Humanist Association.
Talk for the World Humanist Congress, Oslo.Saturday 13 August, 2011.
The British Humanist Association (BHA) is the national charity working on behalf of non-religious people who seek to live ethical and fulfilling lives on the basis of reason and humanity. Founded in 1896, the BHA is trusted by over 28,000 members and supporters and over 90 local and special interest affiliates to promote Humanism. Our policies are informed with the support of over 120 of the UK's most prominent philosophers, scientists, and other thinkers and experts and we seek to advance them with the help of over 100 parliamentarians in membership of the All Party Parliamentary Humanist Group. Our trained and accredited celebrants conduct funerals and other non-religious ceremonies attended by over 250,000 people each year.
The UK Armed Forces Humanist Association (UKAFHA) has recently become part of the BHA, and we are delighted to be able to support and promote it. UKAFHA is a growing body of servicemen and women, their families, veterans and civilian members of the Ministry of Defence who seek to represent the interests of all those who subscribe to non-religious beliefs.
As in many sectors of society, the non-religious in the armed forces have not been particularly acknowledged, included or supported. For example, while there are chaplaincies including for the minority religions as well as Christians, no equivalent support is provided for the non-religious. And of course there is the continued exclusion of non-religious people from official Remembrance Day services in England.
It is the BHA's position that services of mourning and remembrance should be inclusive of all people, remembering the contribution of each person as a person, regardless of his or her religion or belief. It is with regret then, we feel, that all too often official and unofficial ceremonies continue to be heavily dominated by religion and therefore excluding many. While such services continue to have official inclusion of religious representatives and recognition, the BHA campaigns for equality and inclusion for non-religious people.
The Ministry of Defence has just published its most up-to-date figures on religion in the UK armed forces. http://www.dasa.mod.uk/modintranet/UKDS/UKDS2010/c2/table213.php
The recorded figures show a steady increase of those with 'No Religion' at 17,980 or 9.5 per cent in 2007, to 27,770 or 12.6 per cent in 2010. Interestingly, this corresponds with a decrease in the number of Christians, from 89.7 of the total in 2007, to 85.8 per cent in 2010. The figures are also striking because they show how 'No Religion' is far and away the second largest category. The next nearest group is 'Other Religions' at just 870 people or 0.5 per cent. It's also worth making the point that, in reality, we can expect that many who are recorded as 'Christian' are in fact non-religious. The UK is one of the most secular countries in the world with extremely low church attendance: currently less than 6 per cent of the population attend a religious service with any regularity and that is a figure which has been decreasing year on year. However, even if people are not religious they may tick a Christian box on a form because they feel they have a cultural affiliation with it. The most recent British Social Attitudes survey, a well respected survey used by government, academics and others, found just over 50 per cent of the population said they did not belong to a religion; quite a difference to 12.6 per cent in the armed forces. It's highly unlikely that Christians so disproportionately enter the armed forces and so we can assume that, in reality, the number of non-religious people is far higher than the Ministry of Defence's figures would suggest.
Why is the undercounting of the non-religious in these statistics important? Well, if something isn't counted and recorded then it doesn't officially exist; it's easy to sideline or ignore the interests and needs of a group if it is not seen to be significant. But there is a deeper problem than this; even looking at the figures as they stand, it is outrageous that an eighth of the armed forces are not officially recognised in national remembrance services. For UKAFHA members, the exclusion from the Cenotaph in London is the number one issue. They feel saddened and angry that the tens of thousands of serving non-religious army personnel are not recognised, let alone the millions who have fought and died for their country.
The national remembrance service continues to be highly religious. However, increasingly, humanists are being permitted to lay wreaths at local commemorations and, for the first time last year, humanist representatives laid wreaths at the official Remembrance Sunday commemorations in Edinburgh and Belfast. Certainly positive and something we hope will be continued this year.
However a request from the BHA for armed forces humanists to be included at the Cenotaph in London was refused.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport dismissed the BHA's request, citing "limited space at the Cenotaph" and a need to receive permission from the Royal Household as reasons to continue the exclusion of representatives of humanist servicemen and women. In its response, the government stated that it had invited "fourteen faith leaders" to participate, and was working closely with the 'Faiths Unit' at the Department for Communities and Local Government to ensure 'faith representation' at the ceremony.
By contrast, humanists in Scotland were issued with an invitation from the Royal British Legion Scotland to participate in the parade and lay a wreath on the stone of remembrance, humanists in Northern Ireland were given permission to join with other representatives in the service being held in Belfast, and in at least nine areas in England, local humanist groups will be participating in remembrance events.
We know from our work with the UK Armed Forces Humanist Association the contribution non-religious servicemen and women make in this area and the desire to give thanks and mark the sacrifices of earlier generations is likewise not limited to those who believe in an afterlife. It is the BHA's position that it is only appropriate, just as the nation gathered and gathers together in times of national crisis, that the remembrance services commemorating those who fought and died for their country should be inclusive of all people. From our perspective, it's nothing short of discrimination against the non-religious and erases them from history. It's damaging and inexcusable. We will be lobbying again this year to have official inclusion for humanists at the Cenotaph.
So, rather than a religious service, UKAFHA's founder and secretary Henry Cummins has drafted suggested remembrance service which is suitable for all faiths and none.

Cannabichromene (CBC) is a cannabinoid in marijuana that is in low concentration but high in healing properties. Research has shown that CBC helps in pain, depression, inflammation, bone growth, increase brain cells and reducing cancerous tumors. More research is needed but many scientists believe that CBC in conjunction with the other cannabinoids work together as a whole to provide the best medicinal effects.
Cannabigerolic Acid (CBCA) is the initial cannabinoid form that the raw cannabis plant starts with. With age and oxidation this quickly breaks down with enzymes into CBDa, THCa and CBCa. The CBCa form when heated will lose a CO2 molecule allowing it to convert to Cannabichromene (CBC).

I have to be totally honest with you guys.
Early last year, and probably for a little bit before then, I fell into a trap. A big, bad marketing trap. And I didn't even realise it.
Some of you may have seen the light and escaped from the trap, like I have. But I know many of you are probably still in the trap, and I want to help you out.
This post is your saving grace, and my rope to you – I'm sending it down into this trap you're in, and I want to pull you out. Come join me. It's rainbows and sunshine and cheaper grocery bills over here. And butter.
I'm talking all about superfoods. The scam I never, EVER expected to be a scam. Until I realised it was.
The key to cracking this code isn't science. It isn't voodoo magic. It's just common sense and a healthy dollop of local love and sustainability.
I'm not here to deny that inca berries are wonderful things, with that ever so tantalising tango between sour and sweet… I could get lost in a jar of incaberries.
I'm also not here to say that there isn't something magical about the juicy pop of goji berries soaked in ginger beer (try it!).
Or something so surprisingly delicious about a sprinkle of bee pollen on top of a smoothie in the morning.
I love these superfoods, I really do. But I hate the label, the price tag, the ridiculous travel miles that come with 'superfoods' and the fact that all of a sudden, we think we really ought to import these delights from all around the world because they are necessary for human existence, for sustaining a long and healthy life, for everything we could ever hope to achieve. Too much? I don't know. People go a little crazy over superfoods, haven't you noticed?
You see, there are so many amazing superfoods in our own backyards – literally (if you grow your own) and figuratively (if you don't).
Because, dare I say it, all real foods are superfoods.
Take grass-fed butter, for example. Let's ignore all the other awesome things about butter for now, and focus just on the vitamins. Good quality grass-fed butter has quite the amazing nutritional profile. Vitamin K2 is found in pretty durn good quantities in butter, as are vitamins A, E & D. You know what all these vitamins have in common? They're all fat-soluble. They assimilate much better if accompanied by some fat. Even K1, the kind of Vitamin K present in vegetables, assimilates better with fat. So far, seems like butter is the perfect little package of fat + fat-soluble vitamins.
Recent research is showing that Vitamin K2 may prevent cancer, among other benefits. A study on the efficacy of vitamin K2 in postop Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients (HCC – the most common type of liver cancer) showed significant reductions in tumour recurrence rates at the 2 & 3 year marks AND a significant improvement in overall survival at the 1, 2 & 3 year marks. It's not the only study to come to this kind of cancer-crushing-conclusion, but it's considered to be early days for this kind of research yet. Still, this shows huge promise. And in my books? Absolutely qualifies butter as a superfood.
I could analyse a whole bunch of foods for their nutritional profiles, but I don't want to bore you. Butter is a really good, fun and delicious example because it's not one that would leap to most people's minds when they hear the word 'superfood'.
But basically, what I'm saying is – all real foods have different (and awesome) nutritional profiles. Pretty much all (real) foods have benefits. They're all super in some way.
And we don't need to import them from Peru.
And this is where the common sense comes in. People have lived all over the world. For a loooong time. But these foods touted to us as 'superfoods'… well, they don't live all over the world.
Foods-marketed-as-superfoods are not essential. Yummy, yes, but not essential.
They're foods with great nutritional profiles that, for some reason, get plucked out of a crowd of other foods with great nutritional profiles, and marketed in a way that makes you believe you need them. You will get cancer without them. You will die ten years earlier and your gravestone will read "I should have eaten more acai" without them.
I bought into this. I bought every kind of superfood under the sun (okay, not all of them, but almost!). I still have jars of acai powder, maca powder, mesquite powder, and bags of bee pollen and more that I just can't get through. Some of my published recipes even call for and tout the benefits of these superfoods!
But the difference between these 'superfoods' and other, more ordinary, superfoods? It's all in the marketing. Their exotic and elusive nature. They get sold to us, in every meaning of the word. They get packaged in plastic pouches with labels that scream how much better they are than all those other boring foods that you could find in any old neighbourhood and on that dirty local shelf over there. They are from exciting and far away places, they have sustained great warriors and jungle tribes, and they are SUPER. They are just now gracing us lowly un-super people with their presence, so we can stop eating our local un-super foods and realise the glory and good health that we have been missing out on for… well, basically forever, right? They get shipped half way around the world and plonked on the shelves at just about every store in the nation, where their labels taunt our Australian-grown un-superfoods, and then they have a ridiculous price tag slapped on them.
And we buy them, thinking they will save us. Salvation by Spirulina.
…When we could have bought a stick of butter for a lot less.
I got caught in this same trap a few years ago – I wouldn't lump bee pollen or spirulina in the scam, but the others I totally understand. If you can't get it relatively locally and the price tag is out of this world – it probably isn't worth it. I consider my herbs to be my super foods, and most of those I can grow readily.
Each c0rner on the earth has its own superfoods, adapted to the needs of its living creatures. There is no need of importing them from exótic countries..
