Comic Art Friday: Oh, Bombshell! My Bombshell!
Way back in 2008 — two entire election cycles ago, if we're counting — I started a new commission theme designed to combine a pair of my favorite interests: superheroines, and aircraft nose art. (Longtime readers know that I grew up in a U.S. Air Force family, so I saw numerous displays of vintage military aircraft during my formative years.) The concept is simple: nose art-style pinups featuring classic comic book heroines.
I titled my theme Bombshells! — yes, with an exclamation point, just like Jeopardy! — as a play on both the pinup-girl motif and the other key design element in each image… a bomb. (Actually, there's a third item in each Bombshells! piece: a tagline that in some way references the featured heroine. I often explain the concept to artists as "The Three B's": a babe, a bomb, and a bad pun.)
By arbitrary fiat, I decided that Bombshells! would depict only characters from the real-world nose art era — World War II through the Korean conflict (the late 1930s to the mid-1950s, for the history-challenged). I extended the range forward into the early Silver Age to encompass a few more favorites, making December 31, 1959 the cutoff line for a character's first published appearance in comics. Basically, in order to be a Bombshell!, a heroine has to be at least a couple of years older than I am… which makes sense, in a weird way.
The fun of Bombshells! for me derives from showcasing the history of women in comics, and in the superhero genre in particular. It's an opportunity to spotlight characters who represent historic milestones in the medium — Wonder Woman and the original Black Cat, for example — as well as nearly forgotten heroines of yesteryear (the Purple Tigress, anyone?). There are also several Bombshells! that might surprise the viewer who didn't realize those characters had been around for quite so many years.
Yes, we're using the motif of the nose art pinup to highlight that history. The artists I've commissioned have been uniformly excellent in depicting our heroines in a respectful manner — we don't do salacious or overtly sexualized poses, or nudity. (Not that there's anything wrong with the presentation of sexuality and/or nudity in art — it just isn't what Bombshells! is about.) Our heroines are always shown in a way that's either playful or powerful, and often is a celebratory blend of both.
All of which brings us to our newest Bombshell!, seen at the top of this post. She might be familiar, and yet not quite familiar, to the average reader. Lois Lane — yep, that's her — first imagined herself as Superwoman in Action Comics #60, in May 1943. In a dream sequence, Lois saw herself receiving a blood transfusion from Superman that invested her with Kryptonian powers. Sure, it was only a dream, but it fits well within the Bombshells! timeline. Therefore, I'm thrilled to add Lois to our pantheon of historic heroines, courtesy of the tremendously talented Pete Woods.
About a year ago, DC Comics debuted a new series entitled — wait for it — Bombshells. Set in the 1940s in an alternate universe, Bombshells the comic depicts several well-known DC heroines, including Wonder Woman, Batwoman, and Supergirl, battling evildoers against a wartime backdrop. All of the characters wear retro-designed costumes that give the book a cool, nostalgic, quasi-Rosie the Riveter feel.
WWII-vintage heroines in a series called Bombshells? Wonder where anyone might have gotten that idea.
All I know is, unless I inherited a time machine, I didn't swipe it from them.
Bombshells! — established 2008. You can look it up.

I've been wanting to do another Rob Liefeld parody for a while (yes, it's actually happened once before) and My Little Pony seemed like enough of an excuse to try it again. Could it have something to do with the MASSIVE traffic spike that happened the last time I mentioned Ponies in a comic? Naw, that's ridiculous.
To be honest, though, I'm not sure this was really a great idea. The the most hilariously bad aspects of classic Liefeldian art - grotesquely impossible muscles, pointless pouches and shoulder pads, stupidly EXTREME attitude - are most obvious in MALE characters. The classic Liefeld woman is just bewbs and Barbie legs wrapped in spandex, over and over again. Nowhere near as interesting, but what can you do when Equestria is apparently 99% female? Worse, since most of these characters have hooves instead of hands, I couldn't think of a way to incorporate guns and swords and whatnot. What's a Dark Age comic without pathetically oversized EDGY weapons? Honestly, I think this thing is a more entertaining take on the idea, I'm guess I'm just not EXTREME enough.
On the positive side, I DID get to draw Spike as a scruffy, cigar-chomping Wolverine knock-off, and I think that's a win. Plus, crazy crossovers are never not funny, period.

Q: No PHP errors on browser. what config is responsible for silent failure? I was trying to run a simple PHP script on Amazon EC2.
As i got blank screen on the browser, started putting some garbage syntax or echo in between steps. Then i figured out that script was failing without any error.
How to disable silent failure?
<?php

putenv('HOME=/root');
echo 'after env'; //displayed on browser
require_once('/home/ec2-user/AWSSDKforPHP/sdk.class.php');
//i believe this require step was failed
echo 'after require'; // not displayed on browser
$ec2 = new AmazonEC2();
$response = $ec2->describe_availability_zones();
print_r($response);
echo 'hello';

?>

A: It can depend on your php.ini settings, error display or error reporting might be off.
Add this to the top of your script:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

A: You can use the same answer from Wesley Murch
Add this to the top of your script:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Above you don't need to do anything, just refresh your php page.
or edit the php.ini file at "/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini"
and add or edit the line
display_errors = On

If you edit the php.ini file, you will need to restart apache.
(sometimes it doesn't work, and then you should use the first/local solution)
Ubuntu:
sudo service apache2 restart

I hope it works.

A: Try one of the following:
// Turn off all error reporting
error_reporting(0);

// Report simple running errors
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

// Reporting E_NOTICE can be good too (to report uninitialized
// variables or catch variable name misspellings ...)
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);

// Report all errors except E_NOTICE
// This is the default value set in php.ini
    error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); # this is what you might want to try using

// Report all PHP errors (see changelog)
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Report all PHP errors
error_reporting(-1);

// Same as error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

A: I had this problem and fixed it by editing /etc/php.ini to display_errors = On

Handsome is a Netflix Original movie that landed on May 5th around the world on Netflix's streaming service. This article is a follow-up post to the movie covering everything you need to know before going in and post-viewing. We've got everything you need to know about the history of the movie, a mini-review in case you're not sure about watching plus we'll cover a complete list of the cast as well as a breakdown of the soundtrack of the movie.
The movie was first announced in June 2016 where it was announced that Netflix had acquired the rights to the movie first reported by Deadline. It wasn't heard of again until March 2017 when they released the first trailer for the movie. It showed off the cast as well as some pointers as to what to expect from the movie itself.
Gene Handsome is a police detective who is nearing retirement and gets put on a case for his next door neighbor and while searching for clues to solve the crime he also must search for clues for where his life is heading.
Although the story primarily focuses on Jeff Garlin's and Natasha Lyonne's characters, there's plenty of big stars that feature at one point or another. Here's the full cast list for Handsome plus who they played and what they're known for.
The main theme of the movie has been recorded especially but has a distinct sound to it almost like what you'd hear on Pink Panther. The rest of the soundtrack is made up of various pop and rock songs.
If you're a comedy movie fan particularly if you like more subtle styles of comedy. Jeff Garlin's other work on HBO is very similar to what you find in this show.
In one of the final scenes, the line 'You're a self-loathing jew' is a line from HBO's Curb your Enthusiasm which also stars Jeff Garlin.
What's your verdict on Handsome? Let us know in the comments below.

India's War in Afghanistan?
04 Sun Aug 2013
Posted by Jaideep A. Prabhu in India, Pakistan, Security, South Asia
Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, Haqqani network, Herat, India, Inter Services Intelligence, ISI, Jalalabad, Kabul, Kandahar, Mazar-e Sharif, Pakistan, terrorism
The Indian mission in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, was attacked this Saturday. According to reports from the ground, three terrorists drove up to the consulate in a car before detonating their explosives. The target had obviously been the Indian consulate, but the attackers failed to get into the building, detonating their explosives in the street. The incident has left at least 12 dead and 23 injured. Though the Taliban has denied a hand in the attack, suspicions linger primarily on the Pakistani ISI-backed Haqqani network. It has been learned, however, that security threats were received from several smaller terrorist outfits based in Pakistan too. This is not the first attack on Indian assets in Afghanistan – the same station was attacked in 2007, and the Indian embassy was attacked twice, in 2008 and 2009. India maintains three other consulates in the Central Asian country, in Herat, Mazar-e Sharif, and Kandahar.
Repeated attacks on Indian interests in Afghanistan ought to be worrying in their own regard. To compound Delhi's worries, al Qa'ida has executed a series of successful jailbreaks in Libya, Iraq, and Pakistan, releasing hundreds of jihadists. Most of these would most likely return to their own wars in Libya, Syria, and Iraq, but many will find their way to Afghanistan and Pakistan's troubled frontiers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), and perhaps even Pakistani-occupied Kashmir.
In case the prospect of hundreds of returning jihadists did not cause Indian security officials to lose sleep, the US pullout from Afghanistan will leave a tidy cache of weapons for Pakistan. That the abandonment of surplus weaponry too expensive to take back home is standard US practice will be of little consolation to Delhi; furthermore, it is understood that the US is considering resuming military aid to Pakistan through friendly third parties via the Pakistan Counter-Terrorism Fund (PCF) and the Pakistan Counter-Terrorism Capability Fund (PCCF).
The United States is expected to complete its withdrawal by the end of 2014. Many analysts worry that this would cause a surge in Taliban activity in Afghanistan and may sorely test the stability of Hamid Karzai's government; already, intelligence intercepts indicate that the ISI has placed a bounty on the head of the Indian ambassador to Kabul. Given the trajectory of events in the past ten days, India's presence in Afghanistan is likely to come under serious attack soon, and definitely post-2014.
India has several options at its disposal. The first is to turn down Indian presence in Afghanistan. By reducing diplomatic and economic ties, India reduces its exposure to the Taliban. Primarily preoccupied with regaining power at home, it is unlikely that the Afghan part of the Taliban would bother to chase Indians across the border…for now. This option buys time (though for what is unclear), and reduces the intensity of attacks India will probably experience otherwise in the immediate future.
A second option is to further fortify Indian consulates and the embassy, as well as lean on the Afghan government to provide extra security in areas Indians live and work. After all, Delhi has already invested approximately $2 billion in infrastructural loans in the country and will probably increase its role in that sector. However, this option will only increase the illusion of security without necessarily providing significant increase in safety. Indians outside the heavily fortified compounds of their companies and government will remain vulnerable to attacks and kidnappings; embassy security can be breached by a dedicated team of well-armed terrorists, which the present situation has certainly created. In addition, it will always remain a difficult task to do business in a country from behind high walls, to say nothing of the hit India's soft power will take. The message from Delhi will appear to read, "Your problems are yours alone, we are here only for the economics."
Delhi's third option is to increase dramatically the range and quantity of weapons Afghanistan wants to buy from it. The Karzai government has already presented India with such a wishlist in May, but the UPA government refused to consider the request. Manmohan Singh may have to reconsider this decision now, given the increasing threats to Indian interests, Pakistan's boldness, and the US retreat. It may certainly sound like an imperial policy, but realpolitik dictates that India must be willing to defend Afghanistan at least until the last drop of Afghan blood.
A strong Indian backing of Afghanistan is not merely about Pakistan; India also has interests in developing its access to Central Asia's rich energy resources as well as seek out trade opportunities in those countries as an insurance policy against other regional states of concern. Especially if India stops dragging its feet on the development of Chabahar, Afghanistan may develop into a vital conduit of Central Asian energy for India.
India's most heavy-handed option is to deploy its military overseas. There is no indication that Kabul would welcome this, and more importantly, the cost of such an adventure could be astronomical in terms of money as well as blood. This is assuming, of course, that India can work out the logistics and even has the capability for such an operation. India also suffers from its version of the Vietnam Syndrome, the IPKF Syndrome, and any such foreign deployment will be fraught with political ambiguity, social second-guessing, and military danger.
For now, the prudent course of action seems to be to follow a combination of these options – give the Afghan Army a blank cheque regarding weapons it wants from India, train their soldiers and special forces, and send the inaugural contingent of a "Diplomatic Assets Protection Force" to Afghanistan. The purpose of this newly-formed force to be drawn from elite Indian units would be solely to guard Indian facilities in hotspots around the world. In his recent meeting with Pakistan's new prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, US Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the United States will, after all, be maintaining a residual force in Afghanistan post-2014; India needs to explore any synergies that exist between the US' new mission as evinced by this force and its own security. Russia might be another logistical partner South Block can tap – after all, Moscow ought to be almost as concerned as Delhi about a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan spreading its ideology into the former Soviet –stans. Delhi can then cross its fingers and pray – this will not be over any time soon.

It was Paris that defined fashion from the mid-nineteenth until the mid-twentieth century, and the French mannequin manufacturers were able to exploit this reputation. Not only were French mannequins technologically advanced-fueled by the investment in shops and display in France-but notions of what was fashionable at any one point were centered on France, so French mannequins were considered the apex of fashion. Their new designs were also regularly exhibited at the international expositions, with French models usually winning prizes, thus enhancing their fame and desirability.
In the 1920s and 1930s the American film industry was providing an international visual language that would influence both the design of window displays and the appearance of mannequins. By the 1930s American mannequin designer Lester Gaba had produced mannequins of the film stars Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo, and a Shirley Temple mannequin produced by Pierre Iman's was sold on both sides of the Atlantic. Film stars imparted glamour to the window display, which was itself looking more like a film set than ever. While World War II halted mannequin production in Europe, in America production increased, and mannequins continued to reflect the American mass aesthetic. In their expansion, American firms like D.G. Williams and Lillian Greneker were aided by a material new to mannequin production-plastic.

MORE than 1m embryos created for fertility treatment in British clinics have been destroyed over the past 14 years, government figures have shown.
The Department of Health data show that 2,137,924 embryos were created using IVF between 1991 and 2005, but about 1.2m were never used.
Extra embryos are created to maximise the chance of a viable one being identified for implantation in the prospective mother.
The scale of the wastage has sparked calls from politicians and infertility groups to find ways to avoid so many being created for treatment. An alternative suggestion is that it should be made easier for couples to "adopt" viable embryos unwanted by their natural parents so they have a chance of life.
Most of the surplus embryos created in clinics were destroyed within days of being created, while others were frozen. Those that survive the freezing process are destroyed if they are not used within 10 years.
Lord Alton, the independent peer who obtained the figures after tabling a parliamentary question, said embryos were being destroyed "at an incredible rate".
"IVF has ensured that a number of people have been given a chance to have children. But it is surprising how many embryos are being destroyed in the process," said the peer. "This is a rather unexpected aspect of IVF. If you could just create an embryo to implant, that would be fine.
Infertility groups want more people to be encouraged to donate IVF embryos. They want couples who have not succeeded in IVF to have the chance to use embryos from couples who have produced children.
Although embryo adoption is legally permitted in Britain, it is rare. Infertility Network UK, a charity for infertile couples, said it thought there was "more scope for embryo donation" and more should be done to encourage it.
The Donor Conception Network, which represents families with children born from donated embryos, sperm and eggs, said it thought that families donating embryos should be able to meet prospective "adoptive" parents, as happens in New Zealand.
In America, the Snowflakes charity arranges the adoption of embryos by couples who want children. This has led to the birth of 157 babies in the past 10 years. The couple who created the embryo are allowed to meet prospective parents.
Doctors said surplus embryos were created because women responded differently to fertility drugs. As many as 40 eggs can be used in some treatments and all are fertilised in IVF.
The embryos are then assessed for viability, with only about 20% usually considered strong enough to implant successfully in a woman.
The Snowflakes charity, based in Los Angeles, said it does not "discriminate" between embryos judged to be healthy or unhealthy and added that embryos it has used, which doctors had judged not to be viable, have still produced healthy babies.
Fertility clinics in Britain have varying success with IVF. The highest rate is at the Assisted Reproduction and Gynaecology Centre, run by Mohamed Taranissi in London. But Taranissi has clashed with the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority over safety standards.
The authority said researchers are looking at how to refine IVF treatment, including creating fewer embryos.

[Review] "Poor, Rich Kid: Sarge Lacuesta's A Waiting Room Companion" by Alana Leilani Teves Cabrera-Narciso
{Written by Alana Leilani Teves Cabrera-Narciso, this review is part of Issue 42 (January 2019) of Cha.} {Return to Cha Review of Books and Films.}
Sarge Lacuesta, A Waiting Room Companion, BUGHAW, 2017. 188 pgs.
As I looked at the cover of A Waiting Room Companion—showing a woman reclined in a plush lounger, captured at dusk, appearing exhausted yet oddly pensive—I wondered what she was waiting for or thinking about, and whether the book itself might just be the perfect companion to help her pass the time.
Sarge Lacuesta's varied collected pieces, interspersed with artful photographs, are arranged in sections that seem to graduate from childhood memories to sophisticated and cosmopolitan experiences, and are weaved together by the strong presence of the I character. For a non-fiction piece to work, the I must often take centre stage, but also be engaging. As Phillip Lopate would succinctly put it: "the reader must find [the I] amusing![i]" The I persona in this collection is one amusing and self-amused character. For example, in "Hurry Up and Wait," he describes how he entertains himself while waiting for a plane to land:
I am left with nothing to do but think up of mindblowing scenes and schemes—of the pilot suddenly having a seizure and me being conscripted to fly the plane solely on instinct …
A similar tone, can be found in Lacuesta's complaints about his parent's travel eccentricities:
To add to that, my mother had prevailed upon [my brothers] to bring various odds and bends from the house she had fitfully abandoned a few months after my father died. They were in large and oddly shaped packages, including, I shit you not, a rusty ironing board that stood almost six feet folded and took both of them to carry [on board the airplane]. ("The Good Night")
The energy with which the first three sections of the collection are imbued tempers down into a meditative tone in the last section. The I becomes ruminative, engaging in "thoughtful analysis," writing about his experiences in bathtubs around the world and of writing letters to his son and his beloved wife. The last part of the I's "Letter to My Son" ends with a loving promise, despite fears of old age and uncertainty:
I don't know exactly how that really works, but I'll tell you, for the nth time, for as long as I'm alive, how I think it works.
The I's myriad excursions reflect a keen eye that sees everything to be a possible subject of rumination. More so, they signal the presence of a curious mind at work, a mind that in Lopate's words "struggles to entangle and disentangle itself in a thorny problem, or even a frivolous problem that an interesting mind finds a way to make complex." [ii] Even in the collection's profiles, the I does not lose the reader. It incessantly demands that the reader remembers that it is the I that tells the story just as much as focus her attention on the personalities it is profiling, so that both the told and the telling share the spotlight.
Perhaps because of his experience as a fiction writer, Lacuesta has masterfully exercised a certain level of distance from the self, allowing him to assess the I with honesty and courage. Take, for example, his strained relationship with a parent, in which he expresses the all-too-human feelings of exasperation and guilt:
I feel something that I'm sure my parents—as normal human beings—have felt during those times we had a full house: a growing intolerance for the small but piled-up inconveniences, or a slight but persistent displeasure at the unshakeable presence of the people they grew up with. But unlike my parents, I couldn't be counted upon to suffer in silence. It could have been all she had been asking of me, and I could not afford it. ("Movement")
The I's awareness of the difference between himself and his parents (or of other people), and of his past and present self is a thematic preoccupation of most of the essays in the collection. Nowhere is this most apparent than in the I's constant reminder to the reader that he grew up poor but in bourgeois company. Lacuesta's incessant return to the I of his previous self takes on a sharp focus when we learn who the I has become now. The tables have turned for this boy who now dazzles the reader with his savvy knowledge of cars, of rock and roll, of mass media, of dining with the successful, of his "sartorial rectitude, "of seeing the world and his cool weariness to it all—an attitude which is perhaps more natural to those born with the privilege than to those born poor. And perhaps this is where I find the I's assertions a little troubling. The constant repetition of the I's earlier poverty raises a serious question about the author's sincerity and intention. On the first few occasions, the reminder sounds endearing, but over the long run, I began to see it as a kind of self-consciousness, as if the I was starkly aware of the difference between his previous and present selves. I am tempted to say false modesty.
Yet it is also this awareness that makes this collection of childhood memories, of the places and people that carve themselves nooks in the heart, of portraits and thought excursions at once tender and fierce. The critical eye of the narrator scrutinises the self with much gusto and reflects on the superficial and temporary allures it is drawn to, such as the romance of things which are beyond one's circumstances, from travelling to dining with VIPs:
This was also when I used to find airports … exciting and romantic waypoints by themselves … I suppose nowadays it's glamorous to be on this side of things: to be jaded about always getting somewhere is the best way to show that you have arrived.
But the applause has died. I've begun to notice the other side of airports." ("Hurry Up and Wait")
The time will come, it is hoped, and it might be one bright morning, or existential afternoon, or glassy-eyed evening, when you will come to know the privilege of real power, which is to dine as one pleases, without a care for the encumbrances of class and standing and companionship. ("Feeling Bullish")
Lacuesta's collection, written in sleek, sophisticated prose, ends with an exhilarating montage of images that simultaneously deny and affirm the I's place, of its cosmopolitanism—"This is my beginning. This is my end"—signaling the act of closing, of bringing the reader to the book's end. The finale comes full circle to the collection's thematic preoccupations of self-awareness, of disparity and difference and how the I has come to terms with it and how like those selves in the airport—one who is excited at the prospect of travel and another who secretly wishes for something to happen so he can be left behind.

Public Health, Authority, and the Colonial State: Cholera in India
J'Nese Williams
J'Nese Williams is a Mellon Fellow of Scholars in the Humanities at the Stanford Humanities Center where she is working on a book about building authority in colonial administration and scientific work in the British Empire.
James McNabb Cuningham, Cholera: What Can the State Do to Prevent It? (Calcutta: Printed by the Superintendent of Government Printing, India, 1884)
Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine, 11.G.340
According to David Arnold, "Like any other disease, cholera has no intrinsic meaning. … But in nineteenth-century India, it acquired enormous meaning and significance from its various cultural and political contexts."[1] In the 19th century, cholera killed swiftly and in great numbers, first in India, and then across the globe. It became feared worldwide, with individuals and governments struggling to determine a response. James McNabb Cuningham's monograph, Cholera: What Can the State Do to Prevent It? (1844), outlines one strategy for meeting the challenge. He treats cholera from the standpoint of public health and what the British government in India could and should do to manage outbreaks. Cuningham was well placed to articulate the proper role of colonial government in preventing cholera. He had joined the Bengal Medical Service in 1851, and later became an official in the Sanitary Commission to examine the health of British troops, before finally becoming head of the Sanitary Commission for all of India.[2]Cholera began as the introduction to his last report as Sanitary Commissioner, but he decided to publish it separately in 1884.[3] In outlining a plan for government, Cuningham's work rested on particular understandings of India, cholera, and the nature of British rule, and it can be read as a justification for the Government of India's cholera strategy. Situating Cholera within these contexts reveals the possible meanings that it held for Cuningham's contemporaries and for the book's earliest readers in Harvard's libraries.
Cholera, India, and Empire
The first Indian cholera epidemic of the 19th century began in 1817. Its spread was linked to British military campaigns, but it affected soldiers and civilians alike. Subsequent outbreaks coincided with periods of unrest in the colony, including the Rebellion of 1857 or the First War of Indian Independence. Cholera affected the health of British troops during the 1857–1858 campaign, and several senior officers died of the disease.[4] The events of 1857 drew government attention to the health of British soldiers in India. This concern led to the creation of a royal commission to examine the health of the army in India, and the findings indicated that fevers and cholera were the leading identified causes of illness and death.[5]
The results of the royal commissions added statistics to British prejudices about the Indian environment's effect on human physiology. The longstanding conviction that disease could be caused by miasma or features of the environment provided a convenient explanation for cholera's presence in India.[6] Cuningham made his view of the matter clear in Cholera: What Can the State Do to Prevent It? He claimed that cholera had been in India since the beginning of recorded history.[7] Some prominent members of British society went further and blamed Indian habits. They insisted that "filth" in India brought disease. Health reformers in Britain, like Florence Nightingale, felt that it was part of the "civilizing mission" of the British Empire to bring cleanliness into India, linking government-backed sanitation to empire.[8]
According to Arnold, "many Indians, too, saw a connection between cholera and conquest," but in a completely different sense.[9] Cholera may have existed in India for generations, but it was not until the British military campaigns that it became a widespread problem. James Annesley, an English doctor who spent 25 years in India, queried people familiar with Indian histories, perhaps as research for his 1825 work, Sketches of the Most Prevalent Diseases of India. He reported to friends in London that cholera had not manifested as an epidemic disease in India until the outbreak of 1817, concurrent with war against the Maratha Empire. From the position of Hindus, British troops had brought disorder to India by camping in sacred sites and ignoring caste rules. The religious rituals that developed around the disease, as compared to the more established ritualization of smallpox, also suggested a shorter history of epidemic cholera.[10]
British officials tightened the association between empire and cholera by reading political meaning into Hindu religious responses. Sometimes rituals involved messengers and the delivery of tokens from village to village. People or animals might be driven out of villages as scapegoats, and some travelers presented themselves as mediums for the vengeful gods or spirits causing the outbreak. All of these practices made the British anxious. After the 1857 uprising, British officials feared this sort of religious practice, which they believed had been a prelude to the violence that year. Furthermore, British officials classified Hindu rituals as superstitions that proved the superiority of the British way of handling the disease.[11]
These understandings and misunderstandings about cholera in India could remain a local issue as long as cholera stayed local. However, cholera spread out of India after the epidemic of 1826. This outbreak stemmed from the yearly Hindu pilgrimage to Hardiwar, but it spread due to the mobility of commerce, through Persia and Afghanistan into Russia, in 1830. Uprisings in Russian territory in Poland in 1830 and 1831 were met with military force, which spread cholera into Northern Europe. It reached Vienna and Berlin in the summer of 1831, before affecting Britain through the port city of Sunderland, where doctors were initially unsure whether the disease was "Asiatic cholera" or the usual "summer diarrhea" or "cholera nostras" with which they were familiar. Cholera spread across England and Scotland, running its course by about November 1832.[12] With this episode, cholera had become global.
Once cholera left India, other nations claimed a stake in how imperial government in India managed the disease. An international conference was called in 1866 in Constantinople, with further conferences in other locales in 1874, 1875, 1885, 1887, and so on. Sharing British anxiety around the religions of India, Europeans blamed Hindu pilgrimages to sites on the Ganges for starting epidemics and the Muslim Hajj to Mecca for transporting cholera out of India.[13] Under the understanding that the Hajj and India were the cause of cholera in the Middle East, the 1866 conference established the Middle East as a buffer zone, meaning that the Ottoman Empire would host international boards of health in Alexandria and Constantinople to monitor reports of disease from the east and determine whether quarantines and other interventions were necessary. Espousing the idea that cholera was spread by direct contact, European officials encouraged Britain to get cholera in India under control and threatened to embargo ships hailing from Indian ports.[14] At the International Congress on Hygiene in Vienna in 1887, "most non-British delegates were fully convinced that Indian-based cholera was a standing threat to the West."[15] Thus, in the second half of the 19th century, British officials faced international pressure to do something about cholera in India. However, without an established route of transmission, it was difficult to agree upon a course of action.
Theories of Transmission and Early Measures
Uncertainty about cholera's etiology provided fertile ground for local and international debate. Cholera is now understood to be caused by a comma-shaped bacterium, frequently transmitted through water tainted by fecal matter of infected people. In popular memory, the link to water was discovered in 1854 after John Snow mapped cholera cases in a London neighborhood and traced them to use of a specific water pump.[16] The identification of the comma-shaped bacterium as the cause of cholera is credited to Robert Koch, who was part of a German team studying outbreaks in Egypt and India in 1883 and 1884.[17] Looking back with a progressive view of science, Snow and Koch are milestones on a path to understanding cholera. However, prior to the 1890s, these events were data points in a mass of conflicting information. People generally fell into one of two camps. Contagionists believed that cholera was transmitted from person to person and usually advocated quarantines and sanitary cordons. Anticontagionists believed that the disease was not communicable, instead blaming atmospheric and environmental conditions for its spread. Cuningham and many in the Government of India fell into this second group.[18]
While the debate over cholera's route of transmission continued, it was an open question what measures governments might take. The sides of the issue were not clear cut, because medical officers in India could hold both contagionist and anticontagionist views concurrently.[19] The uncertainty around epidemic disease encouraged British medical personnel in India to see it in environmental and cultural terms. Hot climates were thought to be producers and accelerants of disease. Furthermore, humans in different regions were believed to have different constitutions which made them more or less susceptible to diseases, and cultural practices were assumed to affect health. These qualities tend toward the anticontagionist view of cholera. Colonial medicine also had a history of stressing the importance of local knowledge and observation as opposed to the theorizing of people like Snow, far away in London, or Koch, an investigator with limited time in India.[20]
The value placed on local observation meant that immediately after the 1867 epidemic, many in the Government of India could accept some role for human transmission alongside environmental factors. The progress of that particular outbreak followed pilgrimage routes so closely that human transmission appeared likely.[21] The apparent connection between pilgrimages and cholera convinced some that pilgrimages should be regulated. From a modern understanding of cholera, they would have been perfect transmission events as people bathed and sipped water from the Ganges as part of religious observance. Pilgrims would often take Ganges water home for others to drink, possibly carrying a dose of cholera bacteria with their holy water.[22] Restrictions on pilgrimages may have helped prevent epidemics, but they would have been devastating for the Hindu community. After the events of 1857, Queen Victoria had issued a proclamation promising that the government would never interfere in religious belief, and the government feared breaking that promise.[23]
The belief in a human vector of transmission in the Government of India was short-lived. In his 1867 report as acting Sanitary Commissioner, J. M. Cuningham accepted that infection was probably spread through contact with the fecal material of infected people, but his 1884 Cholera is frankly anticontagionist. Mark Harrison points to a shift in belief among colonial officials, tracing the change through Cuningham's yearly reports. His reversal was driven by several factors, including local data collected by the statistical officer, Dr. Bryden, which suggested meteorological origins for epidemics, and his own tour of cholera-stricken districts in the 1869 epidemic, which lacked a distinct distribution pattern.[24]
The Government of India tackled the cholera issue with an anticontagionist outlook and a reluctance to interfere in Indian religions. After 1867, the European community insisted on some use of quarantines, which the British government sought to avoid as disruptive to trade. With these conditions in play, the Government of India aimed at sanitary improvements to manage cholera. Cuningham felt that sanitary measures might be early steps on a path of reform in drainage and water supply. The first efforts targeted the military and European population. Waste removal, better designs for barracks and bungalows, and restriction of the movement of Indian people into these "sanitary cordons" brought down the European casualty rate.[25]
In 1863, the Government of India concluded that improving troop health also required attention to the health of the general community.[26] Motivations ranging from the "civilizing mission" to the necessity of protecting trade also supported the push to extend sanitary administration to the general public. Each presidency, or administrative region, of India would have its own sanitary commissioner to contribute to the annual report of the Sanitary Commissioner of the Government of India. Starting in 1871, larger towns near army settlements were encouraged to set up governments by a municipal act with health provisions, including medical officers. These measures were optional. To appease the international audience, the British instituted port quarantine and extended sanitary cordons to include Indians who worked closely with the White towns. The British avoided interfering with pilgrims or improving sanitation at important sites. Some feared backlash to interventions in pilgrimages despite evidence that sanitary reforms at a religious fair in Hardiwar in 1867 were positively received. Ramasubban points to the expense of instituting major public health reforms as the real reason for the limited response of the British government. The sanitation measures kept White enclaves healthy, and the continued sickness among the masses became more evidence for British stereotypes about the Indian population and landscape.[27]
Cuningham's Practical Approach
J.M. Cuningham wrote Cholera after decades of government sanitary work to manage cholera epidemics. By the 1880s, the colonial medical establishment was out of step with the contagionist views of Europe and Britain, and the Government of India's resistance to quarantines and sanitary cordons was contrary to international norms. British doctors in the Lancet condemned Cuningham's insularity and insistence on the superiority of cholera data collected in India. In 1870, the Lancet criticized the meteorological theory of cholera and spoke unfavorably of Cuningham's Report on the Cholera Epidemic of 1872, claiming that his conclusions were contrary to all popular theories.[28] Cuningham would have known about the opposition to his ideas, and Cholera can be read as a defense of the colonial government's stance.
Cholera ends with a scathing indictment of contagion theory. Cuningham insists that the theory had provided no practical benefits, but led "to all the evils of quarantine, loss of personal liberty, worry and annoyance, social misery and anxiety, with grievous injury to trade."[29] Cuningham further complains that the theory caused neglect of sanitary reforms that could do actual good. He characterizes the International Sanitary Boards in Alexandria and Constantinople as agents of evil policies.[30] And yet, Cuningham begins Cholera mildly, with an insistence that he did not wish to "put forward any new theory in regard to cholera, or to support any of the numerous theories which have been advanced by others"; instead, he wanted to consider cholera from a "purely practical point of view."[31] In short, Cholera is an argument against contagion theory in the guise of an impartial survey of facts.
To make his point, Cuningham represents the habits of the colonial medical establishment as strengths. Medical personnel in the Lancet had criticized Cuningham's—and by extension, the colonial medical community's—focus on locally collected data and experience.[32] By contrast, Cholera argues for the importance of local observation and suggests that governments should allow data, instead of theory, to guide their responses to epidemic disease. Only data could show which strategies worked.[33] Cuningham criticizes other governments for adopting measures based upon theory and dedicates the bulk of his book to arguing that data collected by the colonial state indicated that quarantines and cordons had no effect on disease transmission. He suggests instead that general sanitary measures and departure from affected areas were the only methods proven to improve outcomes.[34]
The introduction to Cholera insists that it is a practical work, focused only on finding policies supported by facts. Yet the work asserts that contagion theory pushed other nations to institute quarantines and cordons, and critiques these measures as a means to refute contagion theory. Cuningham spends significant time describing Robert Koch's research and isolation of the cholera bacillus in order to refute his conclusions and shame the European medical community for eagerly accepting his findings.[35] Cuningham also advances theories of his own, raising the anticontagionist theory that disease was caused by atmospheric conditions. He further speculates that cholera had always been global, and the milder diarrheal complaint called "cholera nostras" in Britain and elsewhere was the same as "Asiatic cholera."[36] Among his closing statements on sanitation measures, Cuningham insists that he had proven that cholera was a disease of locality and disproven contagion doctrine.[37]
Cholera's conclusions generally correspond with the Government of India's interests. Cuningham denies a link between pilgrimages and cholera, directly contradicting the international community's opinion.[38] Cuningham discounts the use of quarantines, which government in London and India saw as "inconvenient and as detrimental to their commercial and political interests."[39] This alignment of Cuningham's research with government preferences might suggest coordination, as argued by S. J. Watts. Mark Harrison suggests instead a "selective, pragmatic and occasionally cynical use of medical expertise."[40] Cuningham's work reflects the long-standing culture of colonial medical science in India, including its use in governance and its suspicion of theories perceived to come from outside, like Koch's cholera bacterium. Even once Koch's theory became widely accepted in the 1890s, officials in India continued to advance "climate, physical environment, and social behavior as contingent factors in cholera epidemicity."[41]Cholera was the product of an ethos that did not cease with acceptance of Koch's theory.
Harvard's Cholera: What Can the State Do to Prevent It?
The physical copy of Cholera in Harvard's library bears some details of its specific history. From the inscription on the page opposite the bookplate, we can presume that the book was in Allahabad in 1885. Allahabad and Hardiwar experienced frequent cholera outbreaks in the 19th century. They were both pilgrimage sites in northern India on the Ganges River, and they "became sites of contestation between the population more generally and the colonial state" around pilgrimage and disease control.[42] Harvard's Cholera was present in a cholera hotspot when it was still a matter of intense debate.
It is not clear when the book made the jump to the United States. The bookplate indicates that it was purchased through the Robert Charles Billings Fund to the Boston Medical Library. A stamp on the reverse of the title page implies that it entered the library on June 11, 1923. If this assumption is accurate, the book was purchased shortly after the influenza pandemic of 1918, which was spread by war, like early cholera epidemics. Cholera may have been intended to provide some historical context for a reassessment of the latest pandemic the world had endured. It is worth noting that in 1923, the book was 39 years old, and the understandings of cholera that it advanced were obsolete. Perhaps for scholars then, as now, it was already an artifact of the overlapping histories of disease, British colonization of India, and public health.

VISIONS of MU is a new series of paintings and illustrations by Australian based media artist VERB aka Tim Parish presented by Undergrowth - a cross media art collective which hosts an online magazine of original art, creative writing, video and music from young artists from across Australia. It will be the first exhibition at the Otto Manzheim Gallery, a new space in the Hacchoubori district of central Tokyo for young and emerging artists to exhibit their work.
Tim Parish is a cross-media artist based in Melbourne Australia, where he is the co-editor and art director of Undergrowth Magazine, a freelance graphic designer and video artist producing a number of music videos, short documentaries and experimental art films. In his spare time Parish is also a writer and painter, exhibiting his work regularly at exhibitions as part of the Undergrowth Art Collective. While travelling across South East Asia and China throughout 2007 he has worked as a mural artist, painting large public art pieces in Thailand, Cambodia and Western China. Nomadology, a collective blog by young Australian writers and artists on the subject of travel, chronicles much of the artist travels throughout these countries.
This body of work represents images envisioned over the last nines months of travelling, but also is inspired by the artists time doing an art residency at the Earth Embassy, an organic farm and cafe/guesthouse where he has set up a temporary studio in Yamanashi, near Mt. Fuji.
Of his influences, Parish says: "In these works I have been strongly influenced by personal visions as well as artistic styles in the countries I have travelled through. These new paintings could be seen to incorporate elements of Japanese ink painting, tribal art, mandala and ecological philosophy. It also draws on the influence of groundbreaking contemporary psychedelic artists such as Alex Grey and Fred Tomaselli."
During the opening night of the exhibition there will be live music and video collaboration between the artist and Tokyo musician NabeOne, followed by a dj late into the night. Drinks and snacks will be for sale from the gallery's traditional Japanese style bar. A small book collecting art from the exhibition will also be for sale over the course of the exhibition.
Exhibition Times: Tuesday - Saturday 11am-5pm.


Would you rrrather study? African Culture or Japanese Culture?
Mesopotamia and Egypt. 'Nuff said.
Did it for 105 hours and wrote 89 pages about it. Japanese culture is pretty cool.
What a sharp tongue you have then. Tell me, does anybody like you?
on here? yes, 4 people.
Owners of extreme opinions, I'm sure.
Africa isn't one giant country. There isn't any more of an "African Culture" any more than there's a "European Culture".
And therefore much more to study.
Well, Africa is about the size of North America. Europe is a relatively small area compared to Africa. More like, "African Culture" is the same as "North American Culture"
AGH MY FAVORITE TYPES OF CULTURE, My dad is African though, so I'm gonna go with A.
You could just study zoology for "African Culture"
Anime characters are really annoying.
Various different traditions, history, lifestyles and just about anything else that could possibly come about from cultural differences.
So in other words you aren't going to tell me because there's too much? ;) That's alright I already know some things about Japanese culture and I can't say I'm very interested.
Option A would be cool if they weren't taken advantage of because they are weak.
what do you mean they are weak?
weak wēk/Submit adjective 1. lacking the power to perform physically demanding tasks; lacking physical strength and energy. They have no power. And when they did. They overused it and lost.
Erm, the definition you used is the exact opposite of Africans. They were some of the strongest, hardest workers on the globe, and because of inferior TECHNOLOGY, they were taken as slaves.


Just as she stepped off the bottom step, she heard a noise at the front door. She hesitated, unsure what to do. Who could be visiting at this hour? Just when she expected to hear a knock, she heard something else instead. A key was being inserted into the lock, and right before her startled eyes, she watched the knob turn and the door open. Her gaze landed on a pair of army boots and slowly traveled upward, taking in the muscular body in military fatigues. Her mouth dropped open in shock.
Ohmygod! Ryan had come home!
Ryan looked just like he did the last time she saw him. Big and tall, cloaked in that attitude of quiet strength he seemed to possess. His black hair cut in military fashion and suited his strong, square boned face. Though sporting a tiny scar over his left eyebrow and another, bigger one halfway down his left cheek he was still a handsome man. He eluded danger in practically every move he made, every glance. His eyes dropped, running over Shannon rapidly, making her painfully aware of her disheveled state.
She refused to reach up and smooth her hair back, knowing that it would do no good. The tiniest quirk on his full, sensuous mouth revealed he found her condition amusing. Quickly, his lips thinned almost menacingly when his gaze narrowed on her breasts. It was then that Shannon reached up and pulled her ruined blouse together where the buttons had come off. She finally found her voice.
Shannon felt a telltale heat rush up to her cheeks when she realized she was watching Ryan's mouth form the words. What the heck was wrong with her? Jet lag, that's what. She gave her head a little shake. She must be more tired than she thought. As his words became clear, it dawned on her that she was once again blocking his way.
She turned and showed him the full plate of corn beef hash. But the expression on Ryan's face almost made her drop it. Sweat had broken out on his forehead and he'd turned pale, his lips were thin as a muscle twitched in his jaw that had hardened in an effort to hold back that he was in obvious pain. Intense pain. He was clutching the island counter in the middle of the kitchen as if it alone was holding him upright.
He pulled out one of the barstools from around the island and sank down onto it. Shannon hesitated for a moment, fighting the urge to question him. Something was terribly wrong, she just knew it, but she didn't know Ryan well enough to feel she had the right to ask him anything personal. The look in his cold eyes warned her she'd be shot down before she managed to speak the first word. Forcing a smile she was far from feeling, she turned to get a second plate.
"If that's what you want," Shannon responded, opening a cupboard door. She glanced with surprise at where the plates were usually stacked. Glasses had replaced them. Marsha had obviously done some rearranging since the last time Shannon had been there. She opened up several other doors before finding the plates, stacked on the second shelf. Standing on tip toe she strained to reach them.
"Oh!" Feeling Ryan brush up against her, Shannon spun around before she could think. Suddenly, it wasn't her backside feeling his hardened muscles. Since he was in the process of reaching over her head for a plate, they were now flush against each other. Her breasts flattened against his hard chest, the lower halves of their bodies were shockingly aligned, and their thighs were touching. Mouths within inches of each other, their breath mingled. It was crazy but Shannon was sure she felt their hearts beating in rhythm. She began to tingle everywhere and held her breath.
I won this from a contest on TRS and read it the other day and loved it. It was such a good book and I hated for it to end and would love to read more about the family. A few times I wanted to smack Ryan around then I would remember why he acted that way.
Thank you Chele! I hope you'll emjoy it.
Yeah, I know you like longer romances. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, though. Are you getting used to the nook?
As mentioned I really do need it because of storage space considerations but I have not given up print altogether.
The weight (I have a Nook 3G-WiFi) is heavier than a paperback so with as much reading as I do I have to be careful about making my wrist sore.
There are reasonably priced ebooks (such as yours) available but so many of the authors I read -- whether the book is new or not -- that are offered for more than mass market price. That just flat pisses me off and I don't buy them as ebooks. I'll rotate my home library and buy them in print. I have zero problem going to B&N or ordering print off Amazon. I don't begrudge anybody a living but it makes me unhappy for publishers to bank on the human "instant gratification" factor for profit. Added to that is the exaggerated cost of ebooks versus print.
I don't know about Kindle but as a perk for Nook owners, a free regular length book is offered every week. Super if you happen to like genre/author being offered.
It's a big pro on how fast you can buy and start reading a new book (providing it is offered as an ebook). Not everything by every author is available...good and bad news if one is after back list but mostly this has been in the positive category for me. It does seem that more ebooks are being offered all the time.
I like that I can order ebooks through B&N on line on my computer and it automatically downloads to my Nook. That is way cool. It's just as cool to do it directly on the Nook. It depends on what kind of shopping mood I'm in.
I hope that your work will be Nook available at some point. Remember that technology spoils us and if readers have to jump hoops...well, you know what I'm saying. Perhaps it depends on story length. Do you have any plans to write longer than novella again?
Sounds like you have your system down.
I do have intentions of writing longer books and have a few started. The novellas keep my name visible. My problem is time. Especially where the new job takes up so much more of it.
My next focus is a well needed vacation home next month. I haven't been since my read dad passed away.


I can't believe my little one is almost 5 months old! She gets more fun everyday with her ever expanding skill set. She's been sitting up lately on her own which is super fun along with her endless smiles and giggles! She loves spending time in her bouncy swing and playing with toys in her high chair (one more month and she'll be eating there, too!).
Meanwhile, I am knee deep in wedding crafting with paper flowers galore and lots of invitations waiting to be addressed in calligraphy. What a fun time!

Criminal Government International
Judge Won't Fast-Track Ex-IS Member's Bid to Come Home
March 4, 2019 March 5, 2019 TIM RYAN
Alabama, citizenship, Islamic State Group, Syria, Terrorism, Trump administration
WASHINGTON (CN) – A federal judge refused Monday to speed up a court fight over the fate of a former University of Alabama student who joined the Islamic State terrorist group and now wants to return to the United States.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton voiced sympathy for the woman's plight but said the facts on the record are too speculative for him to toss aside regular court rules for how quickly cases proceed.

"It seems to be that I'm being asked to operate on a lot of assumptions," Walton said during a hearing Monday morning in Washington.
Hoda Muthana's father, Ahmed Ali Muthana, last month filed suit so that she return to the United States despite the Trump administration's determination that she is not a U.S. citizen.
The 24-year-old withdrew from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in November 2014 and went to Syria, where she joined the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS. She married multiple members of the terrorist group and eventually had a child with one of them.
Muthana fled the group in December and is now living with her son at a refugee camp in Syria.
She now wants to return to the United States, but the Trump administration determined in February she is not a citizen. The Obama administration had revoked her passport in January 2016 on the grounds that she was not a U.S. citizen because she was born before the U.S. knew that her father had been terminated from his position as a U.N. diplomat.
Arguing for her in court Monday, Charles Swift, an attorney at the Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, said Muthana is "in a precarious position" in the refugee camp in northeast Syria.
He said the impending withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country might cause conditions in the area to deteriorate even further and could jeopardize U.S. access to the camp and in turn her ability to return home.
Swift said the federal government determined she is not a citizen without following the appropriate judicial process and that if it is worried about any security risks she might pose, the government could arrest her as soon as she steps onto U.S. soil.
"At this point, she has to be considered a U.S. citizen by operation of law," Swift said in court Monday.
But Scott Stewart, a deputy assistant attorney general who argued for the federal government on Monday, called Swift's arguments a "chain of speculation." He said there is no evidence Muthana faces irreversible harm and noted the timeline for U.S. withdrawal from the country is still unknown.
Stewart further said that Muthana's father has other methods to challenge both the revocation of his daughter's passport and the administration's citizenship determination.
While Judge Walton tossed aside Swift's request to speed up the case, the judge appeared open to siding with him on the question of Muthana's citizenship.
He particularly seemed interested in Swift's argument that ruling Muthana is not a citizen because of her father's diplomatic status could allow foreign governments to effectively avoid criminal liability for spies by designating them diplomats, firing them, and then slow-walking news of their termination to the U.S. government.

That was a superb editorial you wrote for the May 9 edition!
Dave Cooper and I bought The New Era in 1975 from the Springfield News. The weekly had been owned for decades by Bill Dudley and Mac Macoubrie, who were married to sisters. The men ran the back shop and had a good printing business.
They hired a news man and Edna Thompson ran the front office. Dave was that news man from 1958 until 1961.
