Jadavpur professor concerned about his family's security
West Bengal,Crime/Disaster/Accident,Politics, Sat, 14 Apr 2012 IANS
Kolkata, April 14 (IANS) Assaulted and forced to spend almost a night in jail for allegedly circulating 'defamatory' cartoons targeting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Jadavpur University professor Ambikesh Mahapatra is now apprehensive about his own and his family's security.
"I am still to come to terms with the assault and my subsequent arrest. Not only my family and I are apprehensive of our security, even other residents of the housing society are now scared," Mahapatra said Saturday.
Mahapatra, who was attacked allegedly by Trinamool Congress workers late Thursday night, filed a police complaint and got the perpetrators arrested.
"In my complaint, besides mentioning about the assault on me, I have also said that I was compelled by the attackers to give a written declaration that I was a Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) worker and circulated the cartoon at the party's behest," Mahapatra said.
Following his complaint, four people were arrested Saturday. However, within hours they were granted bail by a court as the charges levelled against them by the police were all bailable.
Reacting to the news of his assaulters getting bail, Mahapatra said: "I was made to spend a night (late Thursday-early Friday) in jail and was granted bail only on Friday evening, whereas those who assaulted me were released within hours of their arrest. I have nothing to say... People are seeing everything. They will decide."
The issue of security was echoed by Mahapatra's family.
"I do not know why he was beaten up and arrested over a trivial issue. I am now very much concerned about the security of my family," said Jolly, Mahapatra's wife.
"Humour is a part of life and if I get similar mails again I will surely forward them," was the professor's reply when asked if he would repeat the act again.
The collage of cartoons allegedly forwarded by Mahapatra includes the photographs of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Railway Minister Mukul Roy and uses some dialogues of Satyajit Ray's detective masterpiece "Sonar Kella", showing the duo discussing how to get rid of party leader Dinesh Trivedi, who was forced by the chief minister to give up the railways portfolio.
The arrest has evoked widespread condemnation from all quarters.

The Meditation and Recitation of Amitabha Called "Embracing the Pure Land of Sukhavati"
SGD 10 per text
Available in Tibetan-English and Chinese. Horizontal laid, spiral bound, dimension measures 11" by 5.9".
The Meditation and Recitation of Amitabha Called "Embracing the Pure Land of Sukhavati." Amitabha is the Buddha of Boundless Light. His Buddhafield in the West is called Dewachen, or Sukhavati in Sanskrit. Amitabha is known as one of the most compassionate Buddhas, because he promised that those who merely said his name at the time of death would be reborn in Dewachen. It is traditional to engage in the practice of Amitabha in preparation for the process of dying and on behalf of those who have died.
In 2011, students of H.E Garchen Rinpoche gathered together across borders, cultures, continents and languages to complete an impressive 100-million recitation of the mantra of Buddha Amitabha. H.E Garchen Rinpoche had written the instructions of this sadhana specifically for this event which was based in Singapore.
Please indicate your language preferred when placing order.
The exceedingly concise sadhana of Chakrasamvara's Five Deities, called "Utter Illumination of the Innermost Essence."
SGD 10
Available in Tibetan-English, and Chinese. Horizontal laid, spiral bound, dimension measures 11" by 5.9".
One of the most important deity practices in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism is that of Chakrasamvara.

It is necessary to have received the empowerment in order to purchase this sadhana.
Please indicate your preferred language when placing order.
The Stream of Blessings: The Heart Essence of the Practice of the Fivefold Path of Mahamudra Preliminary Practice
The pith-instruction for attaining enlightenment, the essential practice of seeing the nature of reality, is called by the Kagyu lineage Mahamudra. This text contains the "preliminary practices" that help ready the mind for the ultimate perception of reality.
The Drikung Kagyu Five-fold Mahamudra includes both the "common" preliminaries of the Four Thoughts that turn the mind toward the dharma regarding the preciousness of human life, impermanence, the infallibility of cause-and-effect, and the deficiencies of samsara and the Four Foundations of refuge, purification, mandala offering, and guru yoga.
All five aspects essential to the "five-fold" path are covered in this series of practices: the development of bodhicitta, deity yoga, guru yoga, and dedication.
Refined Drop of Immortality: A Longevity Mandala Practice of Arya Tara, the Wish-Granting Chakra
Available in Tibetan-English-Chinese. Horizontal laid, spiral bound, dimension measures 11" by 5.9".
Known as the Mother of All Buddhas, the Swift Liberator, the Savioress, or She Who Protects From All Perils, Tara is the essence of Dharma. She embodies the wisdom of all Buddhas--the primordially enlightened mind--and fearlessly leaps into action with the love of a mother for her only child.
When H.E Garchen Rinpoche was in prison, he prayed to Tara continuously for protection and guidance. She is his yidam, his main deity, and as such he is never separate from her mantra. Because the benefits of practicing Tara are so profound for oneself and others, Rinpoche highly recommends that all of his students engage in Tara practice.
The sadhana used in these inspiring and joyous teachings was written by the previous incarnation of H.E Garchen Rinpoche after seeing a vision of White Tara.
In this practice, one visualizes one's essential nature in the form of White Tara and recites her mantra. White Tara is associated with healing and long life, and by practicing White Tara one can attain health and longevity as well as the ultimate attainment, Buddhahood.
Tara is the basis of the manifestation of all female deities, and she vowed to attain enlightenment in female form and continuously manifest to protect beings from fears of cyclic existence. Just hearing her name with devotion frees one from the eight or sixteen fears.
Practicing her meditation and reciting her mantras dispels all obstacles. One will be born in Dewachen, the blissful pure land of Buddha Amitabha. At the end of this sadhana is a "Supplication Prayer to the Twenty-One Taras" and "Supplication Prayer to Tara, the Seven Protectors."
The 7 line prayer was said to be composed during the time when Lord Jigten Sumgon was staying at Echung cave. Having attained Buddhahood, he had a vision of the seven Taras. At that time he made this supplication prayer that has manifold magnificent blessings.
Fully Enlightened Without Meditation: The Teaching of Consciousness Transference, Jag-Tsug-Ma
The Tibetan tradition of Buddhism includes detailed advice for using the process of dying as a means to attain complete enlightenment.
The first of these teachings is that of Phowa, which is intended to create a strong connection with the Buddha Amitabha and his pure land of Dewachen. This connection is then called upon at the time of death for a swift transference to Dewachen.
This extraordinary teaching by H.E Garchen Rinpoche brings great clarity and accessibility to the practice of Phowa. He explains the pure essence of Dharma and encourages his students to practice this wholeheartedly.
The Confession of Downfalls to the Thirty-Five Buddhas Ritual "The Complete Purification of Obscuration"
Available in Tibetan-English. Horizontal laid, spiral bound, dimension measures 11" by 5.9".
This text describes a practice of purification by confession and making prostrations to the 35 Buddhas. We have all committed countless negative actions of which we might be not even be aware.
We are often conscious of aspects of our character that we do not like and wish to change. Purification practices are an excellent means to remove negative emotional burdens such as anger, jealousy, pride.
Through such practices, we can pacify obstacles to our happiness and self-improvement created previous karmic actions. By acting through confessions and prostrations to purify negative imprints and afflictions is very productive to our spiritual improvement. It helps us to change our bad habits and subdues obstacles to long life and success in our spiritual practice.
The Daily Practice of the Secret Attainment of the Unsurpassed Extremely Vajrakilaya, called, "The Essence of the Play of the Concerned Activity"
Vajrakilaya is a wrathful deity practice, stemming from the Eight Heruka sadhanas of the ancient translations of Tibet.
Vajrakilaya embodies the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas, manifesting in an intensely wrathful yet compassionate form in order to subjugate the delusions and negativity that can arise as obstacles to the practice of Dharma.
Guru Rinpoche brought this practice from India and passed it on to his 25 disciples. It has passed on through many lineages and is presently practiced by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
This practice is famous for being the most powerful for removing obstacles, destroying the forces hostile to compassion and purifying the spiritual pollution so prevalent in this age.

Biden says post-pandemic economy can fight racial inequality
WILL WEISSERT and BILL BARROW
WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden unveiled a plan Tuesday to ensure that the nation's post-pandemic economic recovery is built around promoting racial equality, promising to dramatically spur investment in Black-owned small businesses and encourage home ownership while closing wealth gaps among minority communities.
Much of the 26-page proposal — and the billions in federal spending needed to pay for it — had already been promised as part of previous, larger Biden plans to jumpstart the economy when the coronavirus outbreak begins to recede. But as protests against institutional racism and police brutality have swept the country in recent months, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is attempting to show voters that he's committed to implementing specific remedies that can promote racial and economic equality should he win the White House in November.
It's also another way Biden is aiming to offer a stark contrast to President Donald Trump, who has spent weeks vowing to restore "law and order" and ordering federal authorities to intervene against ongoing protests in places like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago.
The former vice president will announce the plan during an afternoon speech near his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Biden wants to take $30 billion, or 10% of federal investment he's already promised as part of larger economic plans, and funnel it into a "Small Business Opportunity Fund" designed to leverage $5 of private investment for minority owned enterprises for each $1 in public funds allocated. He also plans to spend $50 billion to provide startup capital that can help entrepreneurs of color start businesses in disadvantaged areas.
To encourage home ownership, the plan would create a $15,000 federal tax credit to help low-and middle-income families cover down payments on their first homes. It also pledges to build 1.5 million new homes and public housing units in hopes of addressing the "affordable housing crisis" which has hit many of the nation's marquee cities and disproportionately hurt people of color.
More:Joe Biden's complicated opposition to busing for school desegregation
Biden similarly vowed to undo Trump administration regulatory changes which the Democratic presidential nominee says "gutted" Obama administration rules preventing housing discrimination and unfair lending practices.
Asked about the possibility of a congressional study on the feasibility of federal reparations to descendants of enslaved Black people in the United States, senior Biden officials said their candidate wouldn't oppose such a study. But they defended Tuesday's proposal as doing more to benefit Black Americans in the short term, saying "he is not going to wait on a study to create change."
Biden's plan also doesn't endorse legalizing marijuana, though it seeks to clear logistical court hurdles so that states can better identify nonviolent offenders whose records they might opt to expunge. Black and Hispanic Americans often face far harsher penalties for crimes involving marijuana possession than their white counterparts.
The Democratic National Committee voted by a wide margin on Monday to keep language calling for legalization of marijuana nationwide out of the party's platform.

Der Francis William Bird Park ist ein  großer Park in Walpole im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Er wird von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet und ist tagsüber für die Öffentlichkeit kostenfrei zugänglich. Der Name des Parks bezeichnet jedoch keinen Vogelpark, wie es die naheliegende Übersetzung von Bird zunächst vermuten lässt, sondern geht auf seinen Erbauer Charles Sumner Bird, Sr. zurück.

Geschichte
Der Park wurde im Jahr 1925 vom Industriellen Charles Sumner Bird, Sr. und seiner Frau Anna als Naherholungsgebiet für die Arbeiter der umliegenden Fabriken eingerichtet. Sie gaben dem Park den Namen ihres Sohns Francis William Bird (1888–1918), der im Alter von 30 Jahren an der Spanischen Grippe gestorben war. Zur Gestaltung des Parks beauftragten sie John Nolen, der Zeitgenosse von Charles Eliot und Protegé von Frederick Law Olmsted war. Seine Vision der Parkgestaltung beschrieb er als einen . Der Francis William Park Trust schenkte den Park im Jahr 2003 den Trustees zur weiteren Verwaltung.

Schutzgebiet
Bis zum Erwerb des Geländes durch die Trustees wurde der Park durch den Francis William Park Trust verwaltet und unterlag keinen besonderen Schutzbestimmungen. Die Trustees erklärten ihn 2003 zum Schutzgebiet, nahmen schrittweise Instandsetzungen und Modernisierungen vor und erließen Nutzungsbedingungen für die Besucher, die auch eine umfangreiche Liste von Verboten beinhalten.

Insgesamt stehen auf dem Parkgelände  an Wanderwegen zur Verfügung. Der Park ist so ausgelegt, dass er zugleich zur Erholung und zu Aktivitäten einlädt – insbesondere können Spielplätze, Tennisplätze, Basketballfelder sowie ein kleiner Badesee genutzt werden. Bei den Pflanzen dominiert der Rot-Ahorn, jedoch gibt es auch Weymouth-Kiefern, Roteichen, Amerikanische Weiß-Eichen, Gelb-Birken und Kanadische Hemlocktannen zu sehen.

Memphis Race Riot of 1866Randal Rust2018-03-01T20:22:23+00:00
Memphis Race Riot of 1866
Written by Bobby L. Lovett
On May 1-2, 1866, Memphis suffered its worst race riot in history. Some forty-six African Americans and two whites died during the riot. A Joint Congressional Committee reported seventy-five persons injured, one hundred persons robbed, five women raped, ninety-one homes burned, four churches and eight schools burned and destroyed, and seventeen thousand dollars in federal property destroyed. Hundreds of blacks were jailed, and almost all other freedmen fled town until the disturbance ended. For two days, white mobs, which included policemen, firemen, and some businessmen, attacked the freedmen's camps and neighborhoods.
The riot started after an alarm went out that African American soldiers from Fort Pickering, on the south boundary of downtown Memphis, had killed several policemen who tried to arrest a black soldier. In response to the reports, Union General George Stoneman disarmed the soldiers and locked them in their barracks, leaving nearby freedmen's settlements vulnerable to the white mobs that soon attacked women, children, and defenseless men, as well as the northern missionaries who served as ministers and teachers for the freedmen.
The Memphis riots reflected the anger and frustration felt by many white citizens and particularly former Confederates, who had suffered the agony of a bitter defeat at the hands of a black and white Union army. Irish immigrants, who had sided with the Confederacy, especially hated the freedmen who dominated the skilled and unskilled jobs that had previously served as a mechanism for upward mobility in the Irish community. Some downtown businessmen participated in the mob because they resented the hordes of penniless freedmen on the streets. Other rioters wanted revenge for the Union occupation. The use of African American soldiers as patrolmen with power to order whites to "move on" was especially galling to many. Finally, the riots reflected the attitudes of most white citizens toward the former slaves who were then free and soon demanding equal rights.
One outcome of the Memphis riot (and a similar riot in New Orleans) was the congressional move toward Radical Reconstruction. The Radical Republicans passed a Civil Rights Bill and the Fourteenth Amendment, guaranteeing citizenship, equal protection of the laws, and due process to former slaves. Tennessee was forced to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment before being allowed to return to the Union (July 1866). Paradoxically, the former slaves became citizens, voters, and officeholders in part due to the Reconstruction acts passed in response to the race riots in Memphis and elsewhere.

Marilyn Mosby in the Spotlight; Two Shooters at Cartoon Contest in Texas; Pacquiao Was Fighting Injured; Interview with Pam Geller on Prophet Mohammed Cartoon Contest. Aired 7:30-8a ET
Aired May 4, 2015 - 07:30 ET
CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: To many here in Baltimore, she is an overnight hero, but Marilyn Mosby is coming under fire this morning. The state's attorney who charged six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray is accused of having a conflict of interest in the case, and she's being asked to remove herself. The prosecutor is having none of it.
Now, CNN's Sara Sidner caught up with Mosby and her husband for an exclusive interview. And Sara, I can't remember a couple who have been in the center of a major issue the way these two are.
SARA SIDNER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's absolutely right. Any way to describe these two is power couple. And I used that phrase with them, and they basically said to me we don't like that phrase. We're public servants and we plan on doing our jobs.
We talked to them about conflict of interest that have been leveled at the two of them because he's a councilman and she is the state's attorney. We also talked to them about family and how they deal with their two young daughters and about faith.
SIDNER: He's a Baltimore councilman, and she's the youngest state's attorney in America and suddenly one of the most invisible figures in the host highly publicized homicide case in recent Baltimore history.
Her choice to charge six officers so far has seen more praise than protest. But her critics have already pounced on the couple's political connection.
MARILYN MOSBY, STATE'S ATTORNEY FOR BALTIMORE CITY: There is no conflict of interest. I mean, I'm going to prosecute. I'm the Baltimore City state's attorney. My district covers every district in Baltimore City. I have -- there's a number of crimes that take place in Baltimore City, and unfortunately, in the district that we live. Where is the conflict?
SIDNER: Their relationship established over a decade ago at Tuskeegee University.
M MOSBY: He was very popular, but what attracted me to him was that there was substance. It wasn't just a physical attraction, it was he wanted to be a public servant. He wanted make a difference.
NICK MOSBY, BALTIMORE CITY COUNCILMAN: She knew exactly what she wanted to do, she knew how she wanted to get there. And I just -- it was the first time I really met a woman -- or a young lady at the time like that.
SIDNER: But they discovered they had so much more in common than ambition. Both are the first in their families to go to college. Both grew up in rough neighborhoods. And both were impacted by crime, especially Marilyn. Her cousin, mistaken for a drug dealer, shot and killed in front of their family home when she was just 14.
M MOSBY: I saw my 17-year-old cousin with all these dreams and all these aspiration who is now going to a grave. But the individual responsible for his death was also 17-years-old. And it struck me. I said, how could we have gotten to that 17-year-old before he decided to take a life? .
SIDNER: It was a defining moment for a girl who came from four generations of police officers. Both she and Nick believe the community and the police can work together despite the difficult relationship.
M. MOSBY: It is about bridging everybody together. It is ability realizing that at the end of the day, it's a very small number of individuals that are defining the perception of our city.
SIDNER: As a black man in America what is your contact and relationship with the police?
N MOSBY: It's been tough, a struggle. I've been physically assaulted by the police.
SIDNER: Doesn't that make you angry?
N MOSBY: I mean, anger is -- you learn how to handle your differences, you learn how to handle your anger through education and who you are and what you are and what -- you got to force change in a positive way versus the negativity or the violence.
SIDNER: Marilyn Mosby says she sees no difference between someone with or without a badge when it comes to justice.
M MOSBY: At the end of the day, my job is to seek justice and to apply justice fair and equally to everybody, no matter what their color, their creed, their religion, their ethnicity.
SIDNER: Do you think you can do that because --
CUOMO: Hmm. That's a good question. That's what you're supposed to say as the prosecutor and certainly that's what you're supposed to do. The question is, the ability to do it. The conflict's one thing, but what about just experience? I know she was in the office for a while and then she left and then she came back and ran. What about that decision?
SIDNER: Well, she's been a state's attorney here for about 100 days now, and there are a lot of folks saying look, she hasn't tried a big murder case, and she may have overreached. She'll hear people saying that.
Here's what she said about criticism that she doesn't have the chops to do what she is doing. She could not of course talk about the case, as you know, while it's being investigated. That's just a normal thing that would happen anywhere in the country. The state's attorney wouldn't talk about the details of the case.
CUOMO: I'm surprised they even gave you the interview.
SIDNER: Yeah. I mean, you know. But bottom line is she said, look, people doubted that could even can be here. You know, there was an incumbent that had been here a long time. People doubted I could even do this. I'm a young woman who is, you know, going to have a lot of integrity, and that's what I've been trying to tell people -- that's what I ran on -- and I'm here. So if you take that as an example, then you have to trust that I'll be able get this job done.
CUOMO: And also, it doesn't mean that she's going to try the case. You know, she's going to have have a whole team of people, they'll all take parts. And we'll see which way it goes. But Sara, it's great. It's great to learn about them. Thank you very much.
All right. And there's no question that we do have new developments here in Boston but also if Texas at this hour. The shooting there. The FBI are searching an apartment complex in connection with the attack. We have the latest on that investigation. New information coming up.
ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: All right. We have breaking news this morning. Police in Texas learning more about the two gunmen who opened fire outside a free speech event featuring prominent anti-Islam activists and a cartoon contest of the Prophet Mohammed. We will speak with the organizer of that event, Pamela Geller, in a moment.
But firs, we want to get to CNN's Ed Lavandera, who is tracking all of these latest developments for us from Garland, Texas. What do we know, Ed?
ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, good morning, Alisyn. The latest just coming into CNN now is that FBI officials in city of Phoenix, Arizona are at an apartment complex there where we are told by an FBI official there in Arizona that it has been determined that two of the suspects in the Garland, Texas shooting are from there. So now this moves a little bit to where the background and the investigation into who these two shooters are, focusing on the Phoenix, Arizona area. That information coming into us a short while ago. So we'll continue to monitor that throughout the morning and see how that develops here.
CAMEROTA: Ed, do we know if they have found any other people at that apartment complex in Phoenix who might be involved?
LAVANDERA: Not from my understanding. That's what we have so far. All of that taking place, Alisyn, as the FBI agents here continue to work the shooting scene. What you see behind me, now the sun has come up here, is the civic center. You see behind me, just this white truck is where the suspects' car was. Didn't quite make it into -- what appears from what we can tell from our vantage point even into the parking area before the shooting erupted here. We're rold by local law enforcement officials that all of the shootings lasted about 15 seconds outside of the civic center. The gunman never made it inside.
CAMEROTA: OK Ed, bring us more developments as soon as you have them. Thanks so much for that. All right. Meanwhile, it's time for CNN Money Now. Business Correspondent Cristina Alesci is in our Money Center. Cristina, tell us what's going on with the biggest burger chain.
CRISTINA ALESCI, CNN MONEY CORRESPONDENT: We're going to hear how McDonald's plans to turn itself around. It's going to have to increase the quality of its food, upgrade its locations and revamp its menu. This, of course, in response to declining sales. And get this Alisyn. First quarter profits have plummeted 32 percent.
Now, big money in boxing. Bets on the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight could have reached $80 million in Nevada. That's double any other boxing match. The wagers weren't just on who would win, but how many rounds the fight would go and whether there would be a knockout.
Now, winning at the box office, "Avengers: Age Of Ultron. It pulled in over $187 million. That makes it the second-best opening weekend in history. But it did fall short of what some analysts expected. "Avengers," though, is still considered a big hit for Marvel. Alisyn?
CAMEROTA: I bet it is. All right, Cristina. Thanks, so much for that update.
Well, a sports power couple, a big one, is no more. Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn breaking up, we're told, over the weekend. Romance correspondent Andy Scholes has more in this morning's Bleacher Report. What do we know, Andy?
ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS: Romance correspondent. I don't think I've ever been called that before, Aliysn. Well, Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn, they had been dating for nearly three years. But they say their busy schedules is what in the end doomed their relationship.
Both of them released a statement on the breakup saying it was mutual and that they would always cherish their time together. And after finishing tied for 17th the masters, Tiger has yet to play another tournament, but he will be back on the course for the Player's Championship, which gets going later on this week.
The second round of the NBA playoffs tipping off on Sunday. The Golden State Warriors having no problem in Game against the Grizzlies. Steph Curry was amazing. He had 22 points and seven assists as the Warriors took Game 1, 101 to 86. And according to multiple reports, Curry is going to be named this year's league MVP later today, narrowly beating out James Harden.
All right, it turns out Manny Pacquiao had a tear in his right shoulder going into Saturday night's huge fight with Floyd Mayweather. He injured it while training leading up to the fight, and the Nevada Athletic Association wouldn't let him take a shot pre-fight to relieve the pain. Now, that injury had some Pacquiao fans asking for a rematch. Will that happen? Probably not. But you can re-watch the big fight on HBO Saturday night at 9 Eastern.
And Alisyn, I know a lot of people this morning are still talking about the video. They're bummed out this fight really didn't live up to the hype. But I was there and the atmosphere in Las Vegas was just amazing. And it's going to go down probably as the most star studded event of all time.
CAMEROTA: There you go. It must have been fun to be there, Andy. Thanks, so much.
SCHOLES: All right.
CAMEROTA: All right. See you soon.
Well, back to our top story now. Two gunmen shot and killed after opening fire at a Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest. We will speak with the organizer of that controversial event next.
CAMEROTA: We do have breaking news for you this morning. Police in Texas gathering information about the two suspects, the two gunmen who opened fire outside a free speech event which featured a cartoon contest of the Prophet Mohammed and a speech from someone who is on the al Qaeda hit list. Why hold this event and possibly invite a threat, given what we saw in Paris in January?
Here to explain all of that is Pamela Geller. She's the executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative. She organized the Draw Mohammed event in Texas. Pam, thanks so much for being on NEW DAY.
PAMELA GELLER, PRESIDENT, AMERICAN FREEDOM DEFENSE INITIATIVE,: Thank you for having me, Alisyn.
CAMEROTA: Pamela, where were you when the gunmen opened fire, and what happened inside?
GELLER: We had just finished a free speech conference. We had (inaudible) there, we had depictions of Mohammed through history, for the past 1,400 years, and we have held a contest, as you know. And the winner, interestingly enough, was a former Muslim, Bosh Faustin (ph). And we had finished the event. It was really very well received, roughly 300 people there. And it was at that time where these two gunmen attempted to storm the building, and they shot at the police. And we were all -- you know, we were all in the room. And the police came in and put us all into lockdown. And so, of course, this terrible incident reflects the need for such conferences. It's illustrative of the violent assault on the freedom of speech.
CAMEROTA: Pam, you know, there was a tweet sent out before the attack warning of the attack. Did you get any intel from the police about just how dangerous an event like this could be?
GELLER: Well, it's dangerous because increasingly, we're abridging our freedoms, so as not to offend savages. The very idea that if something offends me, or I don't -- or I'm insulted by something, I'll kill you and that way I can get my way, and somehow this is okay with members of the elite media and academia is outrageous.
CAMEROTA: Well, I mean, but Pam, nobody --
GELLER: It's a cartoon. It's a cartoon.
CAMEROTA: Sure.
GELLER: It's a cartoon.
CAMEROTA: And nobody is saying that this warrants the violence that you saw. I mean I haven't heard anyone in the media saying that it's okay for gunmen to show up at an event like this. But what people are saying is that there's always this fine line, you know, between freedom of speech and being intentionally incendiary and provocative.
GELLER: Intentionally incendiary and provocative by drawing a cartoon. This is the low state of freedom of speech in this country. I disagree, and I disagree most vehemently. The First Amendment, not the Eighth, not the 10th, but the Dirst, protects all speech, not just ideas that we like. But even core political speech, ideas that we don't like, because who would decide what's good and what's forbidden? The Islamic state? the government?
Inoffensive speech, Alisyn, needs no protection, but in a pluralistic society you have offensive speech. You have ideas. You have an exchange of ideas. You don't shut down a discussion because I'm offended. If something offends me, should I go out and slaughter people?
CAMEROTA: Sure, of course.
GELLER: When Jesus Christ was put in a jar of urine it was called art. Did Christians like it? Of course not. Did they slaughter people? Did they burn embassies? Did they kill whole communities? Of course not. This cannot be sanctioned. This cannot be sanctioned. The West must stand up for freedom of speech. It's the core, fundamental element of this constitutional republic.
CAMEROTA: I mean what your critics say about this is that you weren't just going after, say, al Qaeda, or ISIS or extremism, but even just Islam. I mean, let me read to you a portion, an excerpt from your keynote speaker, Gerrick Wilders (ph) who said this to the crowd before the attack broke out, he said, "Our Judeo-Christian culture is far superior to the Islamic one. I can give you a million reasons. But here is an important one. We've got humor and they don't. Islam does not allow free speech because free speech shows how evil and wrong Islam is. And Islam does not allow humor because humor shows how foolish and ridiculous it is." Now, of course, that's not about extremism. He's talking about a religion of which there are 3 million Muslims even here in the United States.
GELLER: First of all, he's entitled to his opinion, end of story. So what? So he said that. And frankly, what he said was true. There is no humor. Khomeini when he took over in 1979 said there is no humor. The fact is that we need to have this discussion.
Alisyn, there's a problem in Islam and the problem is, we can't talk about the problem. We are seeing the wholesale slaughter of Christians in Iraq and in Syria, in Nigeria, in the Congo, Central African Republic. The jihad is raging, and all we can talk about is backlash of phobia. It's nonsense. We have to be able to discuss and when you say I'm anti-Muslim. Excuse me, I'm anti-jihad. And anyone that says that I'm anti-Muslim is implying that all Muslims support jihad.
CAMEROTA: Well, sure --
GELLER: That sounds Islamaphobic to me. That sounds Islamaphobic to me.
CAMEROTA: But the reason that people believe your group is anti- Islam is because of quotes like that from the keynote speaker where he was just talking about Islam. He wasn't talk -- what you're mentioning, I mean, the things that you're citing are the extremism, the violence, the terrorism. But he's just talking about Islam. I mean how can you say that 3 million Muslims here in the United States are humorless? How can you say that they don't believe in --
GELLER: He did not say that. He did not say that. We're talking about the ideology. Under the Sharia there is creed apartheid. There is gender apartheid. There is Islamic anti-Semitism and misogyny. These are very real. And who gives voice to the voiceless? Where are the victims get to speak? Every time a victim speaks out they're accused of Islamophobia. It's absurd on its face. And you can quote Mr. Vilders (ph) but by the -- you know, when you're talking about my work and what I do, quote me and quote my work. But I support --
CAMEROTA: Well only because he was your keynote speaker are we quoting him, but -- you know so that represents part of what the event was about.
GELLER: But what did he say that wasn't true?
CAMEROTA: Well, I'll tell you what he said that wasn't true. He said that Islam does not allow humor. Now, I mean, do you -- Pam, do you know anyone who is Muslim?
GELLER: Of course.
CAMEROTA: And do you think they're humorless?
GELLER: Listen, you're being very condescending.
CAMEROTA: No Pam, listen. Are you willing to say that all of Islam --
GELLER: It was the Ayatollah Khomeini --
CAMEROTA: -- doesn't alllow humor?
GELLER: Are you willing to say the Ayatollah Khomeini was not Supreme Leader in the Muslim world? Are you willing to say that? He's the one who said there were no jokes.
CAMEROTA: But that's -- but this is your keynote speaker saying this. This wasn't the ayatollah saying this.
GELLER: Yes. He's the who said there are no jokes. OK, so, you know, I don't like what you're saying, Alisyn, so because I don't like what you're saying and you're offending me, should -- you know should we be violent? you know so that we can shut down your speech?
CAMEROTA: No, no, no. Of course not.
GELLER: Is that what you're advocating?
GELLER: -- so we can have this conversation.
CAMEROTA: Look, this is what's so great. We're having this conversation on CNN. It's great to be able to debate this and have this conversation. And by the way, what's interesting about your event is that everyone, even the there's this piece of the Daily Beast right now that talks about that there were scores of Muslim leaders who supported your right to have this event. They didn't like it, but they supported your right to freedom of speech.
Let me read to you a quote from one of them. This was a New York City Muslim community leader. She says Pamela Geller can draw any damn cartoon she wants and I defend her right to do so. I have always fought for her right to be a bigot and I have the right to counter her bigotry with my own free speech. I mean, this is a Muslim leader saying you have the right to have an event like that. But again the point is --
GELLER: Yes. This is a Muslim leader who is attacking me and insulting me, in ad hominim attacks, and isn't that generous of her? look, she's not the problem, okay. The problem is that a group, and we don't know how many others were involved, attempted to open fire on a gathering of free speech. That's the problem, Alisyn.
CAMEROTA: Of course.
GELLER: You're bringing it up with these silly distractions. No one is saying that there aren't peaceful Muslims. But there is a problem in Islam, as illustrated last night and anyone that addresses it gets attacked in this same way. Whereas you should be directing your barbs at the enforcers of the Sharia and those that seek to -- to destroy and crush freedom of speech the way they did in Paris and in Copenhagen and across the world.
CAMEROTA: Listen, absolutely, Pam. The bottom line is that -- freedom of speech can never be met with violence. No one can ever open fire on a group of innocent people. I mean obviously that is from the get-go, that's where you and I and everybody in this country agrees. But there is a debate to be had about what the line is between freedom of speech and provocation. Have we lost Pam?
No. But, Pam, listen, the point is -- isn't that you don't have the right to do it. Of course you have the right to do it. It just seems that you don't draw the distinction between extremism and violence and Islam as a whole.
GELLER: And you don't draw the distinction between civilized men and savages because you're saying that if something I say offends someone, then they have the right to behave in a certain way; that it's going to incite them. I think it's ridiculous. I think the blasphemy laws under the Sharia is ridiculous. I think the people that tens of thousands of people that are slaughtered under this law is monstrous. And that's what you and I should be addressing.
CAMEROTA: And of course --
GELLER: Not that we can't talk about it.
CAMEROTA: Of course we agree on that. But --
GELLER: It's ridiculous.
CAMEROTA: But the problem comes when you paint with this broad brush and when you say savages in the same sentence as Islam. It makes it sound as though you're calling Muslims savages, and when he said when he makes these broad brushed --
GELLER: Show me. Alisyn, show me. Show me where I used Muslim and savages. One time in my entire life. Show me now. You just made accusation. Show me where I said that.
CAMEROTA: You were just saying savages. So we all agree --
GELLER: I said you -- I said you did not draw a distinction between civilized men and savages. Civilized men can disagree. Savages will kill you when they disagree.
CAMEROTA: Yes --
GELLER: That's a distinction I made.
CAMEROTA: Of course, you said the religion of savages. You know that there are --
GELLER: I did not say it. Go back. I never said it. And everybody out there in the listening audience is saying no she didn't say that. CAMEROTA: I don't want to play a semantics game with you. But I do
think that your critics have a point when they say that you paint with a broad brushed stroke and it sounds like you're anti-anti-Islam.
GELLER: No, you paint with a broad brush. You paint with a broad brush. I am anti-jihad, I am anti-Sharia. You, by saying I paint with a broad brush are saying all Muslims support jihad. And Alisyn, you sound very Islamophobic.
CAMEROTA: Pam, of course, all Muslims don't support jihad. The point is --
CAMEROTA: -- is that when you -- when your speakers say that Islam is foolish, it is ridiculous, it -- how -- he says here how evil and wrong Islam is. I mean, when you just said that, of course, you know Muslim people, do you think that they're evil and wrong? I mean, how can your keynote speaker be saying this about a whole religion?
GELLER: I am not concerned -- I'm not concerned with Muslims. I'm not concerned with Muslims, especially peaceful Muslims. I am concerned with the 25 percent that support Sharia. I am concerned with the amputations and the female genital mutilation and the honor violence. I am concerned that the media whitewashed and scrubs this. I am concerned for the victims, and if I have to take this kind of abuse to speak up for the victims, it seems like a small price to pay.
CAMEROTA: Listen. Of course, everyone's concerned about the violence, but let's face it. Your event wasn't just about the violence, it was about -
GELLER: My event was about freedom of speech, period. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment. It's the first and most protected political speech -- the most protected because who would decide what's good and what's forbidden? These arbitrary voices? You? The Muslim Brotherhood?
We need to have this conversation, and the fact that we have to spend upwards of $50,000 in security speaks to how dangerous and how in trouble freedom of speech is in this country. And then we have to get on these new shows and somehow we are -- those that are targeted, those that were going to be slaughtered are the ones who get attacked speaks to how morally inverted this conversation is.
CAMEROTA: Listen Pam. This is not an attack, this is a conversation. And we're glad that you're having this conversation. I'm glad, I thank CNN to allow us to have a conversation like this because, to your point, we need to have conversations like this. But in terms of the event, in terms of what your plan is, what is your next plan? Now that you -- now that you all have survived this near-death experience, what will this do?
GELLER: Well, it'll certainly wake up the American people to this violent assault on our most basic freedom. And people will begin to realize that this war is here. You know, you read about it in Europe, literally opening fire on a
French magazine weekly and slaughtering cartoonists and journalists and thinking that this is, well, that's Europe and they have these problems that we don't have. We have them, and people need to wake up and we need to take a firm stance on freedom of speech, and we will not abridge our freedoms so as not to offend savages. And this is really, I think, the battle between freedom and slavery. It is that basic.
CAMEROTA: Pam Geller, we do appreciate you coming on. We do appreciate this conversation. Thanks so much for sharing what happened last night. We're happy that you're safe and that everryone there, other than the gunmen, survived. Thanks so much.
GELLER: Thank you, Alisyn.

Can you tell me about the material? I really love this rug, but I don't know much about materials in rugs. Thank you.
Kinsey, this rug is 50% acrylic, which is a synthetic material. It's durable and soft, but not quite as durable as other synthetics. This rug is also 50% poly-acrylic, meaning that it is half polypropylene and half acrylic. Acrylic is usually blended with other fibers in this way. Polypropylene is a very durable, synthetic fiber and is stain resistant. It's also easy to clean, and it retains its color over time. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

BISIMULATION SEMANTICS FOR CONCURRENCY WITH ATOMICITY AND ACTION REFINEMENT
Authors: de Bakker, J.W. | de Vink, E.P.
Abstract: A comparative semantic study is made of two notions in concurrency, viz. atomicity and action refinement. Parallel composition is modeled by interleaving, and refinement is taken in the version where actions are refined by atomized statements. The bisimulation domain used in the semantic definitions is obtained as solution of a system of domain equations over complete metric spaces. Both operational and denotational models are developed, and their equivalence is established using higher-order techniques and Banach's fixed point theorem. The operational semantics for refinement is based on transition rules rather than on some form of syntactic substitution.

REASONED ASSUMPTIONS AND RATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: Doyle, Jon
Abstract: Logical epistemology unduly sways theories of thinking that formulate problems of nonmonotonic reasoning as issues of nondeductive operations on logically phrased beliefs, because the fundamental concepts underlying such reasoning have little to do with logic or belief. These formulations make the resulting theories inappropriately special and hide the characteristic structures of nonmonotonic reasoning amid many unrelated structures. We present a more direct mathematical development of nonmonotonic reasoning free of extraneous logical and epistemological assumptions, and argue that the insights gained in this way exemplify the benefits obtained by approaching psychology as a subject for mathematical investigation through the discipline of …rational psychology.

SQUARE SYSTEMS
Authors: Ehrenfeucht, A. | Rozenberg, G.
Abstract: The notion of a square system is introduced and investigated - it is based on a quaternary relation satisfying certain symmetry conditions. The theory of square systems provides a unifying framework for studying decompositions of systems based on hierarchical families of subsets - hence for tree-like decompositions.

KLEENE'S THREE VALUED LOGICS AND THEIR CHILDREN
Authors: Fitting, Melvin
Abstract: Kleene's strong three-valued logic extends naturally to a four-valued logic proposed by Belnap. We introduce a guard connective into Belnap's logic and consider a few of its properties. Then we show that by using it four-valued analogs of Kleene's weak three-valued logic, and the asymmetric logic of Lisp are also available. We propose an extension of these ideas to the family of distributive bilattices. Finally we show that for bilinear bilattices the extensions do not produce any new equivalences.

REDUCTIONS FOR PRIMITIVE 2-STRUCTURES
Authors: Harju, T. | Rozenberg, G.
Abstract: A subset X of a 2-structure (a reversible edge-colored directed graph) g is a clan, if X cannot be distinguished by colors from outside of X. We show that if g is primitive, i.e. it has no nontrivial clans, then there exists an edge e or an end vertex x such that when e or x is removed from g, the resulting 2-structure g′ remains primitive. We also present a composition result for the unstable 2-structures, which are those primitive 2-structures where a removal of any edge results in a nonprimitive 2-structure.
SEMANTICS FOR DISJUNCTIVE LOGIC PROGRAMS WITH EXPLICIT AND DEFAULT NEGATION
Authors: Minker, Jack | Ruiz, Carolina
Abstract: The use of explicit negation enhances the expressive power of logic programs by providing a natural and unambiguous way to assert negated information about the domain being represented. We study the semantics of disjunctive programs that contain both explicit negation and negation-by-default, called extended disjunctive logic programs. General techniques are described for extending model, fixpoint, and proof theoretic characterizations of an arbitrary semantics of normal disjunctive logic programs to cover the class of extended programs. Illustrations of these techniques are given for stable models, disjunctive well-founded and stationary semantics. The declarative complexity of the extended programs, as well as the …algorithmic complexity of the proof procedures and fixpoint operators, are discussed. Show more
COMBINING CCS AND PETRI NETS VIA STRUCTURAL AXIOMS
Authors: Montanari, Ugo | Yankelevich, Daniel
Abstract: Many approaches have been developed with the aim of capturing the advantages of both process algebras and Petri nets in terms of modularity and structure on one side and faithful description of concurrency on the other. A natural way of merging these different models is to express the semantics of process algebras in terms of Petri nets. In this work we present a modular construction of operational models for CCS via different groups of structural axioms. To express them, we use Equational Type Logic (ETL), a formalism based on conditional axioms on typed algebras. Typed algebras can be used with …profit to present transition systems where both states and transitions have algebraic structure, as opposed to the usual SOS approach where only states have structure. We build an algebra in which different types give different views of the language. In fact, different subalgebras live together in the same structure and are related by axioms. They represent: i) the transition system of CCS; ii) an unfolded version of it; iii) a net for CCS and its marking graph; and iv) a folded version of the latter with the same states as i). The model is completely compositional, since CCS operations are defined on all state representations. We also present axioms which directly establish the relation between interleaving and truly concurrent semantics for CCS. Finally, some related work is discussed and the relation of our models with two previous proposals is shown in detail. Show more
COMPOSITIONAL PROOFS FOR NETWORKS OF PROCESSES

Love a bit of summer… not as much as I love Winter but that goes without saying. Give me a ridiculously oversized jumper and a mug of hot chocolate over a bikini and suntan any day. Be that as it may, I do love my holidays. This year we went to Italy with the whole family- that's 8 Wilcox's + my brothers friend, Chris. As a group of 9, we travelled in 3 groups and met in a villa in the beautiful area of Lake Como in Northern Italy. I journaled a lot of the trips and these were the best bits… Enjoy!
We spent the remainder of the days in France (primarily the Somme region) to visit both WW1 War graves and museums. On one of these days we went to Wilfred Owen's grave and I read one of the most famous War poems from his collection: Anthem for Doomed Youth. I found this such a poignant moment of the day, reading a poem next to the authors grave, surrounded by fellow soldiers and thus presented as equal. Despite Owen's notability today, as a soldier of war he was treated with the same respect as his comrades. This was something keenly felt when we visited his grave. We also visited the site of the Battle of Pozières, an animal WW1 memorial and a museum in Albert. I love history, so this was a really lovely and poignant way to conclude the holiday. By the last day, I definitely felt ready to go home. You know when you get to that point of the holiday when you're just missing home comforts and ready to be back in England. Yes, I can completely believe I am saying this, I started missing England. So, I guess, bye France!

LElbit Hermes 900 Kochav (dall'israeliano con il significato di "Stella") è un drone (UAV) israeliano progettato per missioni tattiche ad altezze medie e con alta durata di volo.

Può volare per oltre 30 ore e raggiungere un'altezza massima di 9.100 m avendo come scopo primario operazioni di sorveglianza, ricognizione e comunicazioni.

L'Hermes è lungo 8,3 m con un'apertura alare di 15 m, pesa 970 kg e può portare un carico massimo di 300 kg costituito da sensori a infrarossi, sensori elettrottici, radar ad apertura sintetica, sensori iperspettrali, individuazione bersagli in movimento, comunicazioni e per guerra elettronica.

Impiego operativo
L'Hermes 900 è stato utilizzato per la prima volta da Israele durante l'Operazione Margine di protezione nel luglio 2014. Era stato sottoposto a test di volo ma non era previsto l'impiego operativo prima della fine del 2015; è stato tuttavia impiegato durante l'operazione per singole missioni che si riteneva potesse svolgere meglio dell'Elbit Hermes 450.

Pochi giorni dopo aver ricevuto l'ordine di impiegare il velivolo, un Kochav è stato approntato per un'attività temporanea. La prima missione operativa dell'Hermes 900 ha avuto luogo il 15 luglio 2014, primo anello di una catena di operazioni che alla fine ha portato ad un attacco aereo da parte dei cacciabombardieri che ha distrutto alcune infrastrutture terroristiche. La manutenzione del velivolo durante le operazioni è stata curata da personale Elbit perché le squadre di terra delle forze armate israeliane (Heyl Ha'Avir) non avevano ancora la qualificazione adeguata per eseguire la manutenzione, e anche nelle postazioni della missione era presente personale della Elbit per guidare gli operatori durante i voli di combattimento.

Dopo la fine dell'operazione, l'Hermes 900 ha ripreso i test di volo necessari per superare alcuni punti cruciali che non erano ancora stati raggiunti. L'Hermes 900 è stato ufficialmente introdotto nello schieramento delle IAF l'11 novembre 2015.

10 (more) historic London garden squares…7. Belgrave Square…
by exploringlondon October 23, 2019
This expansive square in the centre of Belgravia is one of the largest 19th century squares in London.
The square, which along with nearby Chester Square, Eaton Square and Wilton Crescent stands on land once known as Five Fields, was laid out in the 1820s on the orders of Robert Grosvenor, 2nd Earl Grosvenor, whose subsidiary title was Viscount Belgrave and who later become the first Marquess of Westminster (and whose family seat is Eaton Hall in Cheshire, close to the village of Belgrave from whence the name comes).
Property contractor Thomas Cubitt was responsible for the masterplan and architect George Basevi, a pupil of Sir John Soane and cousin of Benjamin Disraeli, had the task of designing the original four terraces which surrounded the square.
Most of the houses were occupied by 1840. Today, the buildings – many of which are listed – are home to numerous embassies and official residences of ambassadors.
These include the Portuguese Embassy (11 to 12), the Austrian Ambassador's official residence (18 – the Austrians have been there since 1866 when it was used by members of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Foreign Service), the High Commission of Brunei (20), the German Embassy (21-23), the Spanish Embassy (number 24), the Norwegian Embassy (25), the Serbian Embassy (28) and the Turkish Embassy (43).
Famous residents have included the currently Duke of Kent – he was born at number three in 1935, Victorian politician Sir George Murray, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, who lived at number five up until his death in 1846, and shipbuilder, Lord Pirrie, chairman of Belfast-based Harland and Wolff – builder of the RMS Titanic (in fact it's said that it was at a dinner here which Lord Pirrie hosted and J Bruce Ismay, owner of the White Star Line, attended where plans to build the ship were first discussed).
The two hectare garden in the centre, which remains closed to the public and is Grade II listed, had gravel walks laid out in the 1850s (the current design is a restoration of what was there in the 1860s). Behind the railings, the gardens features wooden pergolas and shelters and a tennis court.
Among the monuments around the external perimeter of the square are statues of of South American revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar (1783-1830), Argentinean national hero General Jose de San Martin (1778-1850), Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) and Prince Henry the Navigator. There's also a 1998 statue of Robert Grosvenor by Jonathan Wylder on the corner of Wilton Crescent.
Within the gardens are Homage to Leonardo da Vinci, erected in 1982, and a bust of George Basevi, the architect of Belgrave Square.

Trinidad, Suriname offer to refine Guyana's oil
Posted by: Denis Chabrol in Business, News March 2, 2017	8 Comments
The Liza well has 800 to 1.2 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname have offered to refine Guyana's oil, although ExxonMobil reserves the right to take its portion elsewhere for processing, authorities said Thursday.
Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman said Trinidad and Tobago's oil refinery, which has a capacity to process 175,000 barrels per day, has been operating "below optimum" even with the importation of oil from Nigeria and elsewhere for blending, refining and export.
ExxonMobil plans to begin commercial oil production at a rate of 100,000 barrels per day from wells offshore Guyana around mid 2020.
Trotman said he was informed on Tuesday that Suriname's refinery, which is also operating below capacity, is available to refine Guyana's oil.
"They (Suriname), too, have a refinery, which is operating under part, which raises the question: Should Guyana have a refinery, spend two billion dollars on a refinery and in about twenty years, assuming that we have is from the Liza, that in about twenty to twenty-five years we have to be looking elsewhere to do some refining," he said.
Minister Trotman said ExxonMobil might want to refine some of the oil and Guyana could decide if it wants to take its portion and refine it locally or in either of the sister-Caribbean Community (Caricom) countries. "Exxon may wish to do some of its own refining, but the Government of Guyana under the terms of the agreement, can also determine whether it wishes to receive its portion in oil and, therefore, may wish to use the available facilities nearby- either Suriname or Trinidad or, as I said, build one here, but we haven't come to that decision as yet," he said.
Guyana has commissioned a feasibility study to determine whether an oil refinery should be built here.

Cervera és una estació de ferrocarril propietat d'Adif situada a l'oest de la població de Cervera a la comarca de la Segarra. L'estació es troba a la línia Barcelona-Manresa-Lleida i hi tenen parada trens de la línia R12 dels serveis regionals de Rodalies de Catalunya, operat per Renfe Operadora.

Aquesta estació de la línia de Manresa o Saragossa va entrar en funcionament l'any 1860 quan va entrar en servei el tram construït per la Companyia del Ferrocarril de Saragossa a Barcelona entre Manresa (1859) i Lleida.

L'estació disposa de la via general (via 1) i dues desviades (vies 2 i 3) amb dues andanes laterals a les vies 1 i 2, comunicades mitjançant un pas a nivell. L'edifici de viatgers se situa a l'esquerra de les vies (mirant sentit Lleida) i és de dues plantes, amb la planta baixa oberta al públic on hi ha entre altres dependències la venda de bitllets i despatx del cap d'estació. Completen les instal·lacions de Cervera un nou pas subterrani que comunica la població i l'estació d'autobusos, que està situada a l'altre costat de les vies.

A més a més compta amb un sistema d'informació a l'usuari mitjançant una pantalla dins l'edifici que mostra les pròximes circulacions per l'estació i un sistema de megafonia que anuncia també les pròximes aturades i els retards que aquests puguin tenir.

L'any 2016 va registrar l'entrada de 23.000 passatgers.

I can tell you I wrote well yesterday morning, that my characters pushed the scene forward with little help from me.
I can tell you that the switch I blogged about a couple of weeks ago in "Course Correction" — setting aside the novel I was working on in favor of one on the back burner — is working out really well.
I can tell you that when I knocked off at 8:50 p.m. I was drifty to the point of disoriented. This is a sure-fire good sign: when I'm absorbed in what I'm writing, it takes a few minutes to come back to earth.
What I can't tell you is how many words I wrote. This is partly because I was writing in longhand. Reading my scrawly handwriting is hard enough; no way am I going to count the words.
Actually I may have that backwards: I write in longhand so the internal editor can't second-guess what I'm writing, and so the internal bean-counter can't count the words. The internal bean-counter wishes I'd stick to Word, which oh-so-helpfully counts the words as I type them. Then the internal bean-counter could rest assured that I was really writing.
When someone crows that she wrote 893 words this morning, or 1,125, or 1,499, my internal bean-counter gets worried. Maybe I haven't done enough? Maybe I'm not doing it right?
Take a break. Seriously. It doesn't matter how many words I wrote this morning, or yesterday morning, or in the middle of tomorrow night. If I wrote 893 words yesterday, I may jettison 878 of them today. So how many words did I really write yesterday?
But numbers are deceptive. They don't tell us as much as we like to think they do. Polls don't tell us what people think. The number on the scale doesn't tell you how you feel. Your word count for yesterday doesn't mention the breakthrough you had in that floundering scene, or how many words it took to get there.
Don't worry about the numbers. Get your hand moving across the page, or your fingers moving on the keyboard. See what happens. Your writing will teach you what you need to know. Numbers are dumb in comparison.
Though I agree with the over all statement, I think there's a place for word counts. Mainly in written exercise. When you give your self a word count you force your self to reword things. To take a look at the way you write and change habits. I think as writers some times this can be a great way to challenge ones self.
For sure, but I think that gets into the realm of editing. See also my reply to Shirley's comment.
Right. And if you're writing fiction, you've got to be mindful of the maximum and minimum length for short stories, novelettes, novellas, and novels (which can be different from journal to journal, press to press). If you often work on assignment, you develop a sense for what subjects can be fully developed within a given length limit. Or how deeply you can go into a subject and still stay under the maximum word count. But that's editing as much as writing. When you're writing, the number of words you crank out may not be as important as the fact that you managed to write for 10 minutes.
Susanna, great post as always, and a good illustration that what works for one writer doesn't always for another. I find setting a word count goal very helpful. I suffer a lot from "if I were truly a. . ." fill in the blank. If the word is "writer", then the rest of the internal monologue would be that I need to write all day. Write more. And more. And I need to be smarter and better read and how on earth can I even pretend to aspire to be a writer, etc.
For some years, the sheer burden of that made me not want to write at all. Now, when I've met my goal, I'm done for the day–oh, I still think about the book and often make great breakthroughs–but I don't feel that nagging guilt. Sometimes I meet my goal in a few hours and sometimes it takes all day, but when I'm done I can move on. And it doesn't matter if the words will remain or will be significantly revised or thrown out. The discipline of writing them, day in and out, leads to progress on the book.
Strangely enough, when I tried to enter a comment this morning, the comment option was not there at all, now it is!! (I had sent a private message enquiring). What I wanted to say is that writers must ignore the "QVC-approach" to value (I shall never forget a well-sold author of non-fiction standing in QVC telling spectators just how many hundreds of thousands of words they were getting for the dollars they were paying, and going through the trouble of doing the math all the way to showing them just how many words they're getting per dollar/cent, and what an unbelievable bargain that was–I'm not kidding!) Please remember that it's what you're saying, not how much…please remember that "open sesame" is just two words….
Wonderfully put! A 900-page hardcopy book may contain twice as many words as a 450-page one, but that doesn't mean it's worth twice as much — unless you're looking for a doorstop.
I am very much trying to get away from word count goals, too, and get back to the very different kind of focus I had back when I wrote more poetry. I've been in the bean-counting brain for too long — those numbers can be addictive!
I think this is another great example of how fluid the writing process can be. It's a tricky balance of structure and fluidity.
I like the analogy of the bean-counter. If we count every one of them, we end up going crazy but if we step back and look at the whole jar, we see the bigger picture. We really are a numbers society but in some cases like creative writing, numbers are less important. It's very encouraging to know you feel the same way about word counts, especially during NaNoWriMo.

Tom Delonge Says He Is Very Close To Completing His UFO Documentary, July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of Instagram: July 24, 2016
Tom Delonge of Blink-182 had been in the news a lot for his interest in UFOs and alien phenomenon. Today he made a post on Instagram about a UFO documentary that he is personally making. I can't wait to see it. It sound fantastic.
Tom Delonge stated:
We are getting very close to showing you all a piece of the documentary. Been working on this for a long time. This week I flew across the country and spent 12 hours with two scientists from CIA, and a very high-level person from the Defense Department. Our Country has been doing incredible things in relation to this topic. Every decision they made, as hard as it is to comprehend now, really was in our best interest. At first, your instinct is to be angry because you feel like you were lied to, left out of something important... But once you know the facts, you'll be proud of what our country did. Very proud. #SekretMachines
