Q: Liferay Action Hook: how to specify a tiles redirect? I create a Liferay 6.2 hook by following official documentation, and everything works fine.
Now I need that, in the render phase and under several conditions, my user will be redirect to a specific tiles.
Original Liferay render method says:
return actionMapping.findForward("portlet.journal.error");

By the way in my class (extending BaseStrutsPortletAction) the render method can't access to any actionMapping instance.
So... how can I obtain the same behaviour in my class?
My code says:
    @Override
    public String render(
            StrutsPortletAction originalStrutsPortletAction,
            PortletConfig portletConfig, RenderRequest renderRequest,
            RenderResponse renderResponse)
        throws Exception {

        Boolean myCondition = .......;

        if (myCondition) {
            // WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?
            //return actionMapping.findForward("portlet.journal.error");
        }
        return originalStrutsPortletAction.render(
            null, portletConfig, renderRequest, renderResponse);

    }

Thank you

A: All you need is to return the forward name.
Instead of actionMapping.findForward("portlet.journal.error"), return just "portlet.journal.error".
BaseStrutsPortletAction#render method is called from com.liferay.portal.struts.PortletActionAdapter#render, which uses the result to call actionMapping.findForward(...).

Thoughts on the passing of Paul Bley….
Posted on January 5, 2016 by moonjawn
Some artists are fathomable – their aesthetic fixed in time, their contribution easily parsed, the work highlights easily identifiable, listable, digestable.
That is not Paul Bley. The Montreal-born pianist, who died Sunday January 3 at the age of 83, carved one of the most unusual paths through jazz and improvised music. He was likely the last musician alive who could claim having performed and recorded with bebop trailblazer Charlie Parker, pre-bop legends Ben Webster and Lester Young and such post-bop luminaries as Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Guiffre and others.
Bley evolved constantly over the course of seven strikingly productive decades, and his evolution took him into strikingly different musical realms. He made definitive recordings in many realms but is not rooted in any one place, not part of a single "school." His hallmark is more an attitude, a broad approach to music that's applicable to every improvisational endeavor: He brought what the music needed at each moment.
He had all the language of jazz in his backpocket, but did not use it indiscriminately – in a solo setting like this 1988 recording for Steeplechase, he would inject the faintest hints of blue into music that was otherwise beautifully reflective, almost overwhelmingly placid, and the reference would enhance the desired mood.
So….he could clearly play in the key of sweet.
And he could swing fiercely, stitching together lines that felt garrulous and expansive but were also needlepoint precise.
In his freer solo playing, he cultivated a zone of contemplation that was profoundly lyrical, with long arching melodies, and then would happily veer into technical inventions that seemed almost unhinged, yet governed by an intense logic. Follow a Bley solo closely, and you hear the main thought mulled and eventually exhausted with a kind of woodworker's patience. Running alongside that, often threatening to overshadow the big idea, are irreverent glances backward at jazz history, knots of harmony that suggest music's future, and moments of effusive fury so dense they defy transcription.
What's most inspiring about Bley is the way he kept going. He chased music of many forms and most of the time outran it, mastered it, refracted it through his lens until it could belong to nobody else. He made beautiful sounds that seem fully written out, through composed, but were birthed spontaneously, in the moment, with a recording device running. To illustrate this I looked for something from his 1986 recording Fragments (ECM), but didn't find. That's a shame, because it's one of those deep records that sounds like nothing else. Here's another….
Each of his recordings shows a different aspect of Bley's intellect, a different curiosity. If they're united, it's not by style or genre or personnel. It's by philosophy.

Moon Thoughts on Music 2013
These days in the endlessly onrushing music slipstream, it's always doom times (the music industry is on the verge of collapse!) and it's always the best of times (look at all these indie phenoms making music on laptops!). There's so much going on, in terms of sheer output, that it's impossible to generalize about anything – except that there's no shortage of galvanizing work at our fingertips. Here, in no particular order, are the records that sustained me in 2013.
The National: Trouble Will Find Me (4AD). Each new thought on the opening track "I Should Live in Salt" gets its own punctuation, in the form of the solemn and accusatory responsorial phrase "You should know me better than that." Sad and hypnotic, this mantra opens the curtain on an album-length meditation about how little can really be known about love, while it's alive and when it's in embers.
Dawn of Midi: Dysnomia (Thirsty Ear). Every few years, there comes a record that obliterates entrenched preconceptions about sound and rhythm. Dysnomia is this year's model. Starting with traditional instrumentation (acoustic piano, bass, drums), this trio builds dizzying spikey Steve Reich polyrhythms, and uses them as the basis for sprawling explorations into improvised rhythmic displacement. The conceptual contrast is striking – the core sounds say "jazz trio" while the sensibility derives from electronica – but this is never just an odd mashup: It's a fully developed environment that grows more hypnotic as it unfolds.
Elvis Costello and The Roots: Wise Up Ghost and Other Songs (Blue Note). Leave aside the semantic question of "Can this be the Roots if there's no Black Thought?," and focus instead on the challenge Elvis Costello faced here: Telling his sharply observed tales of love and honor over the elastic and endlessly shape-shifting backbeats of the Roots. Not only does he master new and different cadences for his talky lyrics – see "Sugar Won't Work" and "Tripwire" – in several places, most notably the trenchant and multi-dimensional "Come the Meantimes," he seems to morph into a completely different being. The year's best Mashup Life selfie.
Vieux Farka Toure: Mon Pays/My Country (Six Degrees). The son of legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure has been making records for a few years now, and this one – which obliquely comments on the political turmoil in his homeland (the hardline Islamists there have said that under their rule, music will be banned) – is easily the most entrancing. Toure specializes in repetitive hooklike chants that please the ear immediately, and his band, which includes the son of kora master Toumani Diabate, bolsters the calls for peace with some fluid-yet-muscular groovemaking.
Dom la Nena: Ela (Six Degrees). Cellist, singer and songwriter Dominque Pinto works within several distinct vocabularies: She knows the bossa nova and samba traditions of her Brazilian homeland, the many twisting turns in the classical cello repertoire, and the vast ambient realms of Tangerine Dream and others. On Ela, those references combine into sublime and disarmingly beautiful sounds, carrying traces of Juana Molina and other collage artists but occupying their own space on the spectrum of magic. Recommended especially for those who think that Laura Mvula's tediously unexceptional Sing To The Moon was the debut of the year.
Chris Thile: Bach: Sonatas and Partitas Vol. 1 (Nonesuch). It was a nice year for Bach, what with Jeremy Denk's wiley tour of the Goldberg Variations and this astonishing adaptation of the great master's sparkling violin music for mandolin. Even those who appreciate Punch Brother Chris Thile's deep talent were probably not prepared for this – somehow, on an instrument that can't "sing" or slur lines or sustain notes like the violin, Thile creates breathy, shapely, thoughtfully original phrasing that opens up new vistas on this old music.
Blood Orange: Cupid Deluxe (Domin0). Devonte Hynes can sound like a hormonal diva on a bender, or a tortured '80s rocker with distressed hair, or a Human League wannabe noodling in the basement. All those personas (and others) are integral to Cupid Deluxe, his first offering as Blood Orange. Slightly campy and deliriously hooky, this is a kind of meta synth-pop – all blithe fun on the surface, with unsettling confessions and sly musical complexities lurking, Prince-style, underneath. Look out for whatever multi-instrumentalist Hynes does; he's a huge talent, and so is his vocal foil, the awesome Samantha Urban.
Vampire Weekend: Modern Vampires of the City (XL Recordings). When Vampire Weekend first appeared, I was fairly lonely in the Underwhelmed camp. Where many critics praised the bubbly indie rock-goes-to-Africa conceit, to me it felt bottled up and studious, mostly because in live performance the band struggled to create the momentum that comes naturally to African musicians. The New York band did some conceptual re-arranging of the furniture for this third album, creating an arrestingly nuanced set of pop songs adorned with groove, grit and surprisingly apt orchestral flourishes.
Sigur Ros: Kveikur (XL Recordings). At once the most accessible and unsettling album ever from Icelandic progressives Sigur Ros, Kveikur dwells in a kind of mottled darkness – its shadows have their own subsidiary shadows, and its dissonances come bathed in their own echoey afterglow. Stupendous.
Wayne Shorter Quartet: Without a Net (Blue Note). This has little in common with live jazz as practiced by most mortals – it's a spectacularly intricate four-way conversation that shows not merely how far Shorter's haunting songs can be stretched, but how their resonances can change in the course of a rangey and sometimes free-associative conversation.
AND A DOZEN MORE….. Jim James: Regions of Light and Sound of God; Charles Lloyd & Jason Moran: Hagar's Song; Thelonious Monk: Paris 1969; Iron & Wine: Ghost On Ghost; Neil Young: Live at the Cellar Door; Elton John: The Diving Board; Albert Heath/Ethan Iverson/Ben Street: Tootie's Tempo; Jonathan Wilson; Fanfare; Arcade Fire: Reflektor; Pat Metheny: Tap – John Zorn's Book of Angels Vol. 20; Boards of Canada: Tomorrow's Harvest; MIA: Matangi.

Shadow Classic: The Guitar Music of Johnny Smith
Posted on July 16, 2013 by moonjawn
Johnny Smith, quiet demon of the guitar….
When the jazz guitarist Johnny Smith died last month at the age of 90, obituaries told of a career spent mostly in a willful semi-obscurity, then focused on two compositions – his cover of the ballad "Moonlight in Vermont," which was a left-field jazz hit in 1952, and his original "Walk Don't Run," which became a big hit when covered by surf-rock kingpins The Ventures in 1959.
That's the highlight reel. A multi-instrumentalist, Smith began his career in the trumpet section of the NBC Orchestra under Arturo Toscanini, and picked up extra work in New York by playing jazz on guitar. Eventually that became his full-time job; before leaving New York in 1958 for family reasons, Smith put together a string of remarkable small-group recordings, showcases for his fluid technique and impossibly warm guitar tone. Some of these titles are hard to find, but a few, including the Moonlight in Vermont session featuring Stan Getz, endure as chamber-jazz classics, notable for their intricate ensemble passages and apt, lyrical solos. (According to legend, Herbie Hancock's first exposure to jazz came with this record.) Smith was one of those improvisors who could play anything but almost always exercised restraint; his light, uptempo bebop-influenced solos (see "Where or When") have a crisp, placid feel, as though he's thinking, note by note, about not overloading the rhythm. His ballad playing ("Embraceable You") is equally thoughtful, exhibiting not just genius note choices but an uncanny sense of nuance and texture.
A playlist devoted to some of Smith's gems is available here.

Shadow Classic: Dynamic Duo by George Coleman and Tete Montoliu
Posted on June 3, 2013 by moonjawn
"Sophisticated Lady," from Dynamic Duo, George Coleman and Tete Montoliu
When jazz musicians play duets, it's common to hear critics and insiders marvel at how the two players seem to "finish each other's sentences." The implication is that there's a shared wavelength, and once the musicians find it, they converse as though in a telepathic mind-meld, answering aptness with aptness.
The reality can be less romantic – among even master players, there are frequently divergent ideas about tempo and mood and pace, as well as the general uneasiness that comes with the establishment of "rapport." The masters of the duo setting – among them the enduring tandem of saxophonist Steve Lacy and pianist Mal Waldron – appear inclined, at every moment, to fumble and veer, change direction in mid-stream, relinquish control and follow as their cohort swerves into a new lane.
That openness is audible on this wonderful version of "Sophisticated Lady" from Dynamic Duo, a 1977 meeting between tenor saxophonist George Coleman and pianist Tete Montoliu. The two linger over the elegant slopes of Ellington's melody, settling into tempo and then floating freely away from it. They sometimes finish each other's thoughts, but more often, they start them – with little melodic gestures like firefly sparks, that at least once or twice swell up into unexpected full-blown bonfires.

Can we have a new spectacle now? Please?
Posted on February 4, 2013 by moonjawn
The old one is about as tired as the power grid that serves the Superdome.
Somewhere in the middle of Sunday night's 34-minute third quarter power-outage delay, as reporters on the sidelines scrambled to get anything resembling credible information, it occurred to me that this unusual drama was more engaging as "entertainment" than the super-polished, beautifully staged Beyonce performance just concluded. Not that there was anything specifically wrong with the halftime show – this morning's reviews praise the singer as "electrifying" (haha) and on her "A game" (groan). In the context of a normal Super Bowl, it was flawlessly rendered, with precise camera angles and lighting cues nailed down to the nanosecond.
But what followed wasn't normal, and as soon as the TV commentators had to go "off script" and yammer to fill time, there opened up a moment to ponder, in a "is this all there is?" way, the megawatt extravaganza we'd just witnessed. A cast of thousands doing yet another update on the line dancing routines we've loved since Michael Jackson and Madonna. A star looking invincible in designer threads and heels while executing proto-robotic choreography. A perfunctory reunion of Destiny's Child, Beyonce's old act. Solid, once-engaging hit songs reduced to puree inside a whirlwind medley. Somehow, despite her beauty and starpower and abundant energy, Beyonce seemed trapped inside an utterly canned, inevitably contrived mode of performance. When, in conclusion, she said "Thank you for this moment," it was less about whatever had just transpired musically – because, let's be real, the needle on the Excitement Meter barely moved – and more about further validation, a crowning ego moment, another exclusive stamp in the passport of a megastar.
And that's boring. The images of half a stadium in darkness held more suspense, sparked more curiosity – was it an accident or the work of hackers? A philosopher might argue that Americans, hotwired for movies with lots of explosions and music with blazing nonstop hooks, get the mass spectacles they deserve: This kind of relentless show might actually be the only remaining way to enchant numb, overly entertained audiences. Still, when the power failed you couldn't help but wonder how far the spontaneity-free empty spectacle thing, with staging considerations clearly outweighing musical ones, can go.
There was no mystery, nothing even particularly human, about the halftime show. And what followed was all too human, riddled with an unsettling sense of "what happens now?" You know things are out of whack when the lights going off in half of a stadium turns out to be more compelling than a gazillion lights blazing to perfection, in dazzling computer-coordinated sequence, exactly the way they did in rehearsal.

Two Shorter Scenes…..
Through an unusual release date confluence, this week brings the chance to hear saxophonist Wayne Shorter at two revealing points in his career – playing in Europe in 1969 as part of Miles Davis' little-heard "third" quintet, and leading his own group at various European stops in 2011 on his first album for Blue Note in 43 years, Without A Net.
Taken together, the works offer a chance to zoom in on the evolution of one of the last remaining jazz mavericks, a masterful composer and improviser whose impact is impossible to precisely gauge. Without Shorter, who turns 80 later this year, the notion of composition in jazz would be very different. As would the notion of the compositional mood dictating what happens when the solos begin. Check out the version of "Footprints" from Live in Europe 1969: It's got the upheaval we associate with that tumultuous year, it's got Miles playing with more rat-a-tat fury than he ever did, and still, somehow, the melancholic brood of this durable tune prevails.
Jazz musicians leave status updates every time a performance is documented, of course, but few have done so for so long, and at Shorter's level of inspiration. From very early solo recordings through his stint with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers through the Davis '60s quintet (the one with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams), through such solo landmarks as Juju and Speak No Evil through his work with Weather Report and subsequent solo endeavors, Shorter blazed a trail of profound and often disruptive originality. His discography describes rapid – and, as Without A Net demonstrates, still in progress – evolution. Each band and each period seems to bring forth something different from Shorter: His solos on tunes from the 1960s are studies in scampering, impulsive-sounding runs (notice the torrents of blurry superfast lines on "Directions" from Live in Europe 1969). His ballads for Weather Report endure as brooding, stately elegies. His new tunes on Without A Net have an insistent, keenly alert pay-attention quality – their beseeching melodies offer quirky, wonderfully ragged respite from everyday bebop proficiency.
Shorter has always been a meta-musician, his work a constant reminder that in jazz, a singular conceptual vision can be as important as technical acumen. In 1969, responding to the crisply chopped accompaniment from Chick Corea, Shorter plays at lightning speed – but he's never slinging stuff he worked out practicing. Instead, he's reacting to and trying to influence the frequently-shifting direction of the music. If you go right from the 1969 live material to the new work, which is also recorded live, the first thing you may notice has to do with energy: These guys in Shorter's band (pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Pattitucci, drummer Brian Blade) are playing hard and fierce, with a lust for life that has been missing from just about everything sold as "jazz" in recent years. Exhilarating and alive, studded with rhythms that have great swing fluidity as well as the stomp of funk (sometimes all at once!), these performances expose the emotional bankruptcy of jazz as practiced by fussy scholarly preservationist types. Using wild lunges and pinpoint-precise gestures, Shorter's group shows just how timid even great musicians are when interpreting his complex, endlessly challenging tunes. If it's been awhile since you've been thrilled by improvised music, consider taking this two-part journey: Start with Davis' little-heard '69 quintet to hear the group's high-speed chase scenes, pushed by Shorter to the brink of frenzy. Then flip over to the saxophonist's new Without a Net to encounter a current group operating on the interactive frequency that was so prevalent in 1969 – except they're using current vocabulary, and current notions about consonance and dissonance. Though recorded more than 40 years apart, these two ripping good titles somehow land in the same spot: This is music that puts you on the edge of your seat, and keeps you there.

Brahma - Sutras in Two Volumes (Sanskrit Text with The Commentary of Acarya Sankara, English Translation and Notes)
by George Thibaut and Dr. Narasingha Charan Panda
In the canon of Vedanta literature, the Brahma Sutra occupies a unique position. The Brahma Sutras attempt to reconcile the seemingly contradictory and diverse statements of the various Upanisads and the Bhagavad Gita, by placing each teaching in a doctrinal context. The word "Sutra" means "thread", and the Brahma Sutras literally stitch together, the various Vedantic Philosophical teachings into a logical, systematic, as well as traditional manner. Of commentaries on the Brahma Sutra, Sankara's commentary stands pre-eminent in elaborating Advaita Vedanta according to his tradition.
The Brahma Sutra consists of 555 aphorisms or Sutras, in four chapters, each chapter being divided into four sections each. The first chapter explains that all the Vedantic texts talk of Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, which is the goal of life. The second chapter discusses and refutes the possible objections against Vedanta philosophy. The third chapter rightly elaborates the process by which Ultimate Emancipation can be achieved. The fourth chapter clearly discusses the state that is achieved in Final Emancipation.
This book contains the original Sanskrit text with Acarya Sankara's Sanskrit commentary as well as revised English translation for the benefit of common readers of Sanskrit in general & the researchers of Indology in particular. However, this book would be immensely useful to the students as well as researchers to clearly know and understand about Acarya Sankara's Advaita Vedanta Philosophy in a positive direction.
Dr. Narasingha Charan Panda (Dr. N.C. Panda), ICCR Chair Visiting Professor of Sanskrit, Sanskrit Studies Center, Silpakorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, (basically from Vishveshvaranand Vishvabandhu Institute of Sanskrit and Indological Studies, Panjab University (Chandigarh), Sadhu Ashram, Hoshiarpur) is well-known in the field of Indological Research, who combines in him a comprehensive understanding of scholarly issues, impartial judgment and an exemplary clarity of expression. Besides, Dr. Panda is being associated with a number of Research Journals in the capacity of Advisor as well as Editor in India & Abroad.
Presently, as the Visiting Professor of Sanskrit, Dr. Panda is the Editor of the International Indological Journal of Sanskrit Studies Centre, Silpakorn University, and Bangkok, Thailand. As an ardent scholar & a successful researcher of Indo logy, he has contributed more than 100 learned Research papers, attended more than 75 Seminars & Conferences & has written & edited a number of valuable Books (more than 21 Books) with ISBN Nos.
The Brahma Sutras attempt to reconcile the seemingly contradictory and diverse statements of the various Upanisads and the Bhagavad Gita, by placing each teaching in a doctrinal context. The word "sutra" means "thread", and the Brahma Sutras literally stitch together the various Vedanta teachings into a logical and self-consistent whole. However, the Brahma Sutras are so terse that not only are they capable of being interpreted in multiple ways, but they are often incomprehensible without the aid of the various commentaries handed down in the main schools of Vedanta thought. The Vedanta-Sutras supply ample evidence that at a very early time, i.e. a period before their own final composition, there were differences of opinion among the various interpreters of the Vedanta. These sutras systematize the Jnana-kanda (path of wisdom, as opposed to Karma-kanda, the path of action) of the Veda, by combining the two tasks of concisely stating the teaching of the Veda and argumentatively establishing the specific interpretation of the Veda adopted in the sutras. The sutras also discuss the role of karma and God and critically address the various doctrines associated with Buddhism, Jainism, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisesika, Saiva, Sakta, Atheism, and Samkhya Philosophies of India.
In the canon of Vedanta literature, the Brahma Sutra occupies a unique position as the oldest systematic commentary on the Upanisads. It defines the thread of Life Force (prana) by which all of the universal objects are bound together. The Brahma Sutras also constitute the Nyaya-prasthana, the logical starting point of the Vedanta philosophy (Nyaya = logic/order). No study of Vedanta is considered complete without a close examination of the Prasthana-Traya, the texts that stand as the three starting points. While the Upanisads (Sruti-prasthana, the starting point of revelation) and the Bhagavad- Gita (Smrti-prasthanay. the starting point of remembered tradition) are the basic source texts of Vedanta, it is in the Brahma Sutras that the teachings of Vedanta are set forth in a systematic and logical order.
Acarya Sankara is one of the greatest philosophers, India has ever produced and also the greatest exponent of Advaita philosophy. He is worshipped as an incarnation of Lord Siva. Acarya Sankara's vision of India regarding Hindu philosophy is unique and outstanding. His works in Sanskrit establish the doctrine of Advaita, the unity of the Atman and Nirguna Brahman"Brahman without attributes". His works elaborate on ideas found in the Upanisads. He wrote copious commentaries on the Vedic canon (Brahma Sutras, Principal Upanisads and Bhagavad Gita) in support of his thesis. The main opponent in his work is the Mimamsa School of thought, though he also offers arguments against the views of some other schools like Samkhya and certain schools of Buddhism.
This book contains the original Sanskrit text with Acarya Sankara's Sanskrit commentary as well as revised English translation for the benefit of common readers of Sanskrit in general, and the researchers of Indo logy in particular. Besides, this work also contains glossary as well as bibliography. However, this book would be immensely useful to the students as well as researchers to know and understand the Acarya Sankara's Advaita Vedanta Philosophy in a positive direction.
I have dedicated this work to my lovely parents late Pundit Dinabandhu Panda and Smt. Kamalini Panda. Due to their kind blessings I got every success in life. I would like to specially mention here that I have learned Sanskrit in my childhood days due to the noble teachings of my father, who used to be a Pundit in a Sanskrit College in Bhadrak, Odisha. Besides, on this occasion, I am also remembering my great Sanskrit teachers as well as well wishers and even extending my thankfulness to them for their great support and blessings.
I offer my most sincere thanks to my wife Mrs. Shradhanjali Panda and my lovely daughter Prajna for their co-operation in accomplishing this work in time.
I am extending my sincere thanks to my colleagues of Sanskrit Studies Centre of Silpakorn University, Bangkok, for their positive advices & other academic help.
Shri C.P.Gautam, publisher, Bharatiya Kaka Prakashan, Delhi, deserves special mention here. Due to his personal interest and sincere effort, the book has been brought out in time and also in beautiful form. Lastly, I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to all those scholars, Institutions and Publishers, whose works/editions have helped me a lot in preparing this book.
The word Vedanta literally means 'the end of the Vedas'. Primarily, the word understood for the Upanisads, though afterwards its denotation widened to include all thoughts developed out of the Upanisads, The Upanisads may be regarded as the end of the Vedas in different senses, firstly, the Upanisads were the last literary products of the Vedic period. Three kinds of literature of this period can be broadly classified: the earliest being the Vedic mantras, the next being the Brahmanas, which guiding and encouraging the Vedic rituals and the last, the Upanisads, which clearly discuss the philosophical tattvas or matters in a comprehensive way. In a broad sense these were called the Srutis or Vedas. Secondly, in respect of study also, the Upanishads come last. As a rule, a man should study the Vedic Samhitas first, with the help of Brahmanas and Vedangas. But finally, he should read the Upanisads, as these texts help him to understand the real meaning of life and the life after death. These spiritual texts teach the man the mystery of life as well as the universe in a right way. Thirdly, the Upanisads may be regarded as the end of the Veda, also in the sense that they mark the culmination of the Vedic speculation. Generally, the word Upanisads means , what destroys the ignorance and gets man near or closer to the God,' or 'what gets the man near to the teacher'. However, the Upanisads were regarded as the inner or secret meanings of the Vedas; hence, their teachings were sometimes called Vedopanisad or the mystery of the Vedas (Taittiriya Upanisad, I.11).
Hence, Vedanta or Uttara-Mimamsa is the standard and the characteristic Philosophy of India. It is based on the oldest spiritual intuitions of the Upanisads, developed, systematized and updated by an unbroken tradition of great sages and Acharyas. Though the name of Vedanta does not occur in the old Upanisads, we can hardly doubt that it was the Vedantic thoughts, contained in the Upanisads, which gave the first impulse to more systematic philosophical speculations in India. Several scholars have tried to prove that Samkhya ideas prevailed in India at an earlier time than the Vedantatic ideas. But tough there certainly are germs of Samkhya theory is in the Upanisads, they are but few and far between while the strictly Vedantic concepts meet us at every step in the hymns, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas and in the Sutras. Vedanta is clearly the native philosophy of India. It is true that this philosophy is not yet treated systematically in the Upanisads, but neither is the Samkhya. To us, who care only for the growth of philosophical thought on the ancient soil of India, Vedanta is clearly the first growth; and the question whether Kapila lived before Badarayana, or whether the systematic treatment of the Samkhya took place before that of Vedanta can hardly arise.
However, there is no doubt that the Upanisads are the abstract of all Vedas & it contains the mystery of all sacred knowledge, which may help a man to get the liberation. In fact, the Upanisads were many in number and developed in the different Vedic Schools at different times and places. The problems discussed and solutions offered presented differences in spite of a unity of general outlook. The need was felt, therefore, in course time for systematizing the different teachings so as to bring out the harmony underlying them. Badarayana's Brahma-Sutras or Sariraka-Sutras or Vedanta-Sutras or Uttar Mimamsa, undertakes this task.
The Brahma Sutras attempt to reconcile the seemingly contradictory and diverse statements of the various Upanisads and the Bhagavad Gita, by placing each teaching in a doctrinal context. The word "sutra" means "thread", and the Brahma Sutras literally stitch together the various Vedanta teachings into a logical and self-consistent whole. However, the Brahma Sutras are so terse that not only are they capable of being interpreted in multiple ways, but they are often incomprehensible without the aid of the various commentaries handed down in the main schools of Vedanta thought. The Vedanta-Sutras supply ample evidence that at a very early time, i.e. a period before their own final composition, there were differences of opinion among the various interpreters of the Vedanta. These sutras systematize the Jnana-kanda (path of wisdom, as opposed to Karma-kanda, the path of action) of the Veda, by combining the two tasks of concisely stating the teaching of the Veda and argumentatively establishing the specific interpretation of the Veda adopted in the sutras. The sutras also discuss the role of karma and God and critically address the various doctrines associated with Buddhism, Jainism, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisesika, Saiva, Sakta, Atheism, and Samkhya Philosophies.
In the canon of Vedanta literature, the Brahma Sutra occupies a unique position as the oldest systematic commentary on the Upanisads. It defines the thread of Life Force (prana) by which all of the universal objects are bound together. The Brahma Sutras also constitute the Nyaya-prasthana, the logical starting point of the Vedanta philosophy (Nyaya = logic/order). No study of Vedanta is considered complete without a close examination of the Prasthana traya, the texts that stand as the three starting points. While the Upanisads (Sruti-prasthana, the starting point of revelation) and the Bhagavad- Gita (Smrti-prasthana), the starting point of remembered tradition) are the basic source texts of Vedanta, it is in the Brahma Sutras that the teachings of Vedanta are set forth in a systematic and logical order.
The Brahma Sutras consist of four Chapters (Adhyayas). Each Chapter (Adhyaya) is divided into four padas (parts) and each pada consists of single or several groups of Sutras called Adhikaranas. There are total 191 Adhikaranas containing 555 Sutras, (aphorisms) in the Brahma –Sutras
The First Chapter explains that all the Vedanta texts talk of Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, which is the goal of life. There are thirty-nine Adhikaranas and one hundred thirty-four Sutras in this Chapter. First pada contain eleven Adhikaranas with thirty-one Sutras, second pada contain seven Adhikaranas with thirty-two Sutras, third pada contain thirteen Adhikaranas with forty-three Sutras, and fourth pada contain eight Adhikaranas with twenty-eight Sutras.
The Second Chapter discusses and refutes the possible objections to Vedanta philosophy. There are forty-seven Adhikaranas and one hundred fifty-seven Sutras in this Adhyaya. First pada contain thirteen Adhikaranas with thirty-seven Sutras, second pada contain eight Adhikaranas with forty-five Sutras, third pada contain seventeen Adhikaranas with fifty-three Sutras, and fourth pada contain nine Adhikaranas with twenty-two Sutras.
The Third Chapter describes the process by which Ultimate Emancipation can be achieved. There are sixty- seven Adhikaranas and one hundred eight-six Sutras in this Chapter. First pada contain six Adhikaranas with twenty-seven Sutras, second pada contain eight Adhikaranas with forty-one Sutras, third pada contain thirty-six Adhikaranas with sixty-six Sutras, and fourth pada contain seventeen Adhikaranas with fifty-two Sutras.
The Fourth Chapter elaborates the state that is achieved in Final Emancipation. There are thirty eight Adhikaranas and Seventy-eight Sutras in this Chapter. The first pada contain fourteen Adhikaranas with nineteen Sutras. The second pada contain eleven Adhikaranas with twenty-one Sutras. The Third pada contains. Six Adhikaranas with sixteen Sutras, The fourth pada contain seven Adhikaranas with twenty-two Sutras.
However, in short, it can be said that the First Chapter exclusively elaborates that all the Vedanta texts talk of Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, which is the goal of life. The very first Sutra offers an indication into the nature of the subject matter of Brahma Sutra (I.1.1 athato brahma jijnasa- Now: therefore the inquiry (into the Real Nature) of Brahman. The whole Brahma Sutra very clearly explains in detail the True Nature and Form of Brahman. Second Chapter discusses and refutes the possible objections to Vedanta Philosophy. Third Chapter specifies the process by which Ultimate Emancipation (moksa) can be achieved. Fourth Chapter talks of the state that is achieved in Final Liberation or moksa.

Obec Horní Dubenky () se nachází v okrese Jihlava v Kraji Vysočina. Žije zde  obyvatel. Obec se skládá jednak z původní vsi a jednak ze sídliště Janštejn při stejnojmenné sklárně.

Název
Název se vyvíjel od varianty Dubenky (1386, 1678), Ober Dubenky (1718), Horni Dubenky (1720), Ober Dubenky (1751), Ober Dubenky a Hornj Dubenky (1846) až k podobám Ober Dubenky a Horní Dubenky v roce 1872. Místní jméno je odvozeno od slova Dubenka a přídavných jmen dubná a dubová, znamená ves, hora, říčka.

Historie
První písemná zmínka o obci pochází z roku 1385. Dne 17. listopadu 1423 byla poblíž obce svedena tzv. bitva u Horních Dubenek, ve které byly přepadenyhusitské vojenské jednotky vracející se tudy z obléhání Telče vojskem Menharta z Hradce. V boji proti přesile zahynulo kolem 300 mužů včetně jednoho z husitských vojevůdců Havla Pinty, přežil druhý z vojevůdců Jan Hvězda z Vícemilic, který se zbytky jednotek odtáhl do Pelhřimova, kde se spojil s ostatním Žižkovým vojskem. Na břehu rybníka Bor 0,5 km z obce po červené turistické značce směr Jihlávka stojí pomník této bitvy.

Obec má dlouholetou reformační tradici. Již ve 14. století působili v okolí valdenští. V 16. století v obci působil bratrský sbor, o němž se však zachovaly pouze útržkovité zprávy. Pobělohorská rekatolizace zde byla vedena jezuity z Telče a Jindřichova Hradce. Tajní evangelíci se tehdy scházeli v lesích, mj. u Studánky Páně nedaleko vrcholu Javořice. Po vyhlášení Tolerančního patentu v roce 1781 se velká část obyvatel přihlásila k augsburskému vyznání a zažádala o zřízení evangelického sboru a.v. Telčská vrchnost tehdy nevyhověla s tím, že v témž panství působí sbor a. v. ve Velké Lhotě. Teprve v roce 1783 se podařilo sbor ustavit a povolat z Uher prvního faráře Ondřeje Lazányiho. V roce 1786 byl vybudován kostel s farou.

Z roku 1809 pochází první písemná zmínka o janštejnské sklárně, i když historie sklářství zřejmě sahá do starších dob. Roku 1827 byla sklárna rozšířena a byl tak položen základ dnešní osady Janštejn. Roku 1838 vznikla zdejší škola, a to jako škola evangelická, v době, kdy v sousední Jihlávce byla ustavena škola katolická. Od roku 1889 působí v obci pošta. V roce 1898 byla ustavena zdejší záložna. V roce 1908 byl založen zdejší lihovar, který fungoval až do roku 1961.

Od roku 1951 v obci funguje mateřská škola, původně jednotřídní, po roce 1975 dvoutřídní, nyní 1,5 třídy.

Q: Parse host information like PHP IMAP extension I have been trying to get the host information (hostname, port, prefix...) like PHP IMAP extension does, but I can't figure out.  example string:
$host = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX'

The closer I came up was PHPMailer does (code taken from source code):
$hostinfo = array();
if (!preg_match('/^((ssl|tls):\/\/)*([a-zA-Z0-9\.-]*):?([0-9]*)$/', trim($hostentry), $hostinfo)) {
    die(' Not a valid host entry');
}
// $hostinfo[2]: optional ssl or tls prefix
// $hostinfo[3]: the hostname
// $hostinfo[4]: optional port number
// The host string prefix can temporarily override the current setting for SMTPSecure
// If it's not specified, the default value is used

But I can't get there.
Any help will be much appreciated.

A: Try this one:
<?php
  $sourcestring='{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX';
  preg_match_all('/{((?<proto>[^:]+?):\/\/)?(?<host>[^:\/]+?)(:(?<port>\d+?))?\/(?<path>[^}]+?)?}(?<folder>.+)/m',$sourcestring,$matches);
  echo "<pre>".print_r($matches,true);
?>

It captures the parts as named groups. You can get the parts by their names ('proto', 'host', 'port', 'path' and 'folder').
(It's just a quickshot. So let me know, if something still doesn't fit.)

After the Deluge | Home
After the Deluge: characters
David Wenham as Alex Kirby
The middle son is an outwardly devoted family man with a burgeoning career. Much of his life has been an unconscious quest to win his father's approval. He has been married to Kelly for more than a decade and has two young sons. Not musical like his elder brother, Alex became an architect, working his way up to larger and larger firms and into positions of greater influence and income. He works long hours, travels a lot, and takes his company obligations, the intrigues and power plays so seriously, that he's never fully present for either his children or his wife.
But now all of this has come unstuck. With his marriage and career in a heap, his access to his children limited and his father in need of constant care—for the first time in his life Alex must learn to stand alone.
Hugo Weaving as Martin Kirby
The eldest son. His hair is beginning to thin. He is a rock musician, a talented guitarist who, after some early success with two big bands finds himself fading into obscurity. Martin has been estranged from his father for twenty years and neither is he close to his brothers. He went wild at a young age—groupies, drugs, and erratic behaviour and though his body pays more for self-abuse these days, he is still going through the same motions. His relationships now last only briefly and involve affairs with women twenty years younger.
In his own way Martin is as unforgiving and rigid as his father. He has given up on the idea of perfection and cut his losses like his father and shares his father's lack of faith in the prospect of happiness. It takes a challenging friendship with Annie, a woman his own age to force him to reflect on all this and to devote genuine effort to his music at the risk of failure and ridicule. As the friendship develops into romance he has to resist the urge to trample everything and run—because he is not his father and Cliff's death is to be his final release from that.
Samuel Johnson as Toby Kirby
The youngest son, and despite precisely the same upbringing as his brothers, remarkably likeable and well adjusted. He works as a suburban solicitor on a low salary and has deliberately refused the lure of greater responsibility and income. He likes his regular hours and the freedom to choose work that counts, ie: work which actually helps someone. Like Alex he married young but in his case it is a tremendously successful partnership. Beth is every bit his match and they adore each other in a healthy; combative way—their only great pain is the child they are incapable of conceiving.
While recognising all his father's shortcomings and his brothers' anxieties, Toby is willing to forgive. He would do anything to reconcile his family. But eventually, even Toby's benevolent attitude begins to crack. Gradually he grows resentful of a father who should have loved them more and now can never repair the damage.
Aden Young as Young/Middle Aged Cliff Kirby
A brilliant young man with the world at his feet. He travelled to London on a musical scholarship, met the woman of his dreams and seemed set for an extraordinary life. Until the war. Young Cliff now a junior officer finds himself in an unscripted horror of battles, shipwrecks, dying men and as a Japanese P.O.W His life is sustained by his Welsh sergeant, Sid (Bob Franklin) with whom he drifts for days at sea in the Java Straits.
Young Cliff survives the war but returns a physically and mentally broken man, incapable of ever realising his early promise, or of expressing his great pain to those closest to him.
Ray Barrett as Old Cliff Kirby
The father—in his mid-seventies. As a youth he was musically gifted with an extraordinary life beckoning, until Adolf Hitler chose another life story for him. Now suffering Alzheimer's, his affliction keeps regurgitating the great loss and personal sacrifices of his life—his failure to realise all the promises of his youth. Through his eyes we see Cliff relive his nightmarish experiences of the Second World War as real to him now as they were sixty years ago.
After the war, physically and psychologically broken, Cliff discovers that Maggie—his great love—has married, believing him dead. Years later, married to a woman he does not love and with three sons, Cliff again meets Maggie, and later in life is presented with the possibility of regaining all that has been lost. But it will mean leaving his sons.
Rachel Griffiths as Annie
A woman who has seen much, suffered a great deal and has risen above it. As a consequence she tolerates crap from no one. Following the death of her husband in a motorbike accident in which she was also involved, Annie has been on her own. With a permanent limp and various hidden physical and emotional scars she runs a successful coffee shop and brings up her two daughters. Martin is the first man she has shown any interest in for a very long time—but her justified suspicion of him and her own private phobias threaten to keep them apart.
Catherine McClements as Nikki
Alex was Nikki's first real boyfriend and she fell for him completely. But over the years the contradictions and unspoken neglects of their marriage have accumulated into profound ambivalence. She has become tired of waiting for things to change, deep down she knows they won't. It is her decision to end the marriage and in so doing, discovers she feels much more than she thought she would.
Kate Beahan as Maggie
Maggie is the great love of Cliffs life. She is a feisty young violinist, who Cliff meets in a competition. They fall madly in love prior to the war. In every way they are meant for each other. When the war separates them, Maggie is told Cliff is dead. Desperate and unhappy, she marries only to find Cliff has survived. Later in life they re-meet and she discovers her passion for him has not diminished with the passage of years. But is it too late?
Essie Davis as Beth
Toby's wife of several years and every bit his equal. They met at a party, spent the night together and have hardly been apart since. Against the weight of the world they cling together—happy and generous. Beth can see in a blink the failings and shortcomings of her husband's family—but loves the fact that Toby can't. Her great pain in life is that she can not deliver this ideal family man a baby.
Marta Dusseldorp as Eva
Eva has worked with Alex for many years and grown very close to him. During the years of his marriage the two have conducted a non-affair—with much flirting and time together but no sex. With the collapse of Alex's marriage the ground rules have changed if only she can survive his core meltdown.
Vince Colosimo as Eric
A multiple role—ostensibly a male nurse—a decent, if disinterested career at an Aged Care Facility, Eric unconsciously assumes a number of identities for Old Cliff from Doctor to School Principal. From a working class background with a ready humour and an ability not to flap it is Eric, strangely, the outsider to the Kirby family who forms perhaps the best understanding of the old man.
Simon Burke as Michael
A decent, successful indoor cricket playing man with a desperate desire to please others. As such, he is not to be trusted under any circumstances. He is a friend of Alex and Toby's, who shortly won't be.


You are a fairly well integrated person who's in touch with both their extrovert and introvert sides. This attribute gives you good powers of management and organization. You don't have to impress others because personally you know your own value and you can definitely take that to the bank. Some people may think you are self-centered, which is basically true.
Ambition and intensity are major personality characteristics as well as possession of a strong sensitivity toward others and their feelings. Having a real sense of when to use power or drama or humor, you are able to get your point across without seeming to be too pushy. You like to be the center of attention and really like receiving adulation.
Being more of a realist than most, with your feet on the ground [keyword: ground] you'll be able to make a good living in almost any business you enter. You know how to make your ideas work for you in the real world as it exists now. All businesses will work for you but you will likely excel the most at salesmanship of some kind.
A lot of your energy is of the nervous variety and you need to learn to relax. You like having guests in your house, well prepared food and being at your home.
In love and relationships you are affectionate caring and passionate. Romance is very important to you. You probably won't be happy until you find someone with whom you can share life or comfortably co-habituate. You might not care to have children.

Top state news stories in 2016
Top stories around the states in 2016
It was a mighty win for the battlers when NSW Premier Mike Baird caved in after intense pressure and reversed his controversial decision to ban greyhound racing. Declaring, "I got it wrong", the premier announced in October he would instead introduce a new, strict industry regime. Mr Baird had for months insisted the ban was "the right thing to do" after a report detailed systemic animal cruelty, live-baiting and mass slaughter of uncompetitive hounds. It was hoped the backflip would quell disquiet within his government but it wasn't enough to save the Nationals in November's Orange by-election.
Siege Inquest.
Two years after Sydney's deadly Lindt Cafe siege, the deadline is approaching for a NSW coroner to reveal his thoughts about what happened, the police response and how to prevent a repeat of the tragedy. Michael Barnes will base his findings, due in early 2017, on evidence from more than 120 witnesses heard over more than 100 days. Wrapping up the inquest's public hearings in September, he declared it was not his role to lay blame. But the question of whether ASIO could have done more to stop gunman Man Haron Monis before the December 2014 siege, in which two hostages were killed, is expected to go unanswered as evidence relating to the intelligence agency's involvement is unlikely to be made public.
Eddie Obeid
He was the Labor kingmaker credited with the rise and fall of three NSW premiers. But 10 days before Christmas, corrupt former factional heavyweight Eddie Obeid, 73, was ordered to swap his stately Hunters Hill mansion for a jail cell for at least three years. The spectacular fall from grace came after Obeid was found guilty in July of hiding his family's stake in several Circular Quay cafes while lobbying a senior public servant to preserve their lucrative leases in 2007. Premier Mike Baird savaged the former Labor minister after the sentence, announcing that legislation would be changed to ensure Obeid was stripped of his $120,000 a year pension. The saga brought to an end one of the biggest political scandals in NSW history. Obeid will be eligible for parole in 2019.
The world's worst ever recorded thunderstorm asthma event caused at least eight deaths and forced more than 8500 to hospital when it hit Melbourne in November. The health system wasn't set up to cope with the unprecedented level of demand, which the health minister described as like "150 bombs going off" at once. The pollen grains absorbed moisture during a thunderstorm and then burst into hundreds of tiny allergenic fragments, small enough to penetrate deep into the airways. This prompted in asthma even in people who had never had it before.
Who would have thought a new pay deal for 800 Victorian career firefighters in a largely volunteer organisation might help determine the course of a federal election? The bitter pay battle between the CFA and the United Firefighters Union has dragged on for years, but it reached a peak during the federal election campaign when Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull promised to intervene. The battle still isn't over – the new deal hasn't been put to a vote despite the entire CFA board and leadership being sacked or resigning – but Victoria was the only state where Labor had a net loss of federal seats.
Spare a thought for Patch and Ted, two pampered pooches who now have to ride in a car like everyone else. The pet dogs of Corrections Minister Steve Herbert caused a scandal when it was revealed Mr Herbert ordered his taxpayer-funded driver to use his ministerial car to pick them up and chauffeur them more than 120 kilometres between his homes. Mr Herbert insisted it was "once, possibly twice", but he couldn't say. Eventually he sniffed the wind and realised he was in trouble and resigned.
A fun day out turned to tragedy on October 26 when four people were killed on one of the most popular, and tame, theme park rides at Dreamworld. Cindy Low, Kate Goodchild, her brother Luke Dorsett and his partner Roozi Araghi died when their raft on the Thunder River Rapids ride flipped. Somehow two children, aged 10 and 12, who were on the ride, were flung free and survived. The horrific event touched the hearts of a nation. Dreamworld management came under severe criticism for trying to re-open park three days after the deaths and while police were still conducting an investigation. It retreated and the Gold Coast fun park re-opened on December 10, just five days short of its 35th anniversary .
Adani's controversial Carmichael coal mine received its final approvals in December, more than six years after it was first slated for Queensland's Galilee Basin. The $21.7 billion project – to be the largest mine in the southern hemisphere – had faced several hurdles. Most came from litigation brought by green activist groups who claimed it would further imperil the Great Barrier Reef. The project is set to provide a jobs boost to regions suffering high unemployment, with some 10,000 positions expected to be generated over its 60-year lifespan. While spruiking the generational jobs, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Indian mining giant had given her an "iron clad" guarantee it wouldn't use foreign workers on 457 visas. Construction on the project, which includes a rail link to the Abbot Point coal terminal, is expected by July 2017.
Almost 800 workers were left high a dry when Townsville-based Queensland Nickel collapsed early in 2016. The company went into voluntary administration in January and by April it was in liquidation. At the centre of the collapse was QN's one-time saviour, businessman and former federal MP Clive Palmer, and his nephew, Clive Mensink, the sole appointed director. Records showed QN donated $288,516 to Palmer's political Palmer United Party shortly before the company initially laid off 237 workers at the Yabulu refinery. Palmer fronted Federal Court proceedings over the collapse but Mensink was nowhere to be seen. Palmer failed in three attempts to stop giving evidence at the federal court hearing where liquidators were trying to show he acted as a shadow director.
From the sense of panic in Adelaide on September 28 you would have been forgiven for thinking an apocalypse was upon the city. In reality a wild storm had downed transmission towers in South Australia's mid-north and turned off some wind farms, dramatically increasing demand on the state's biggest power interconnector with Victoria. It overloaded, cutting power and driving people to light candles across the state. Power was back in Adelaide in a few hours but stayed off for days in some regional areas. The blame game followed, with SA's plunge into darkness sparking a national discussion on the reliability of renewable energy and leading Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to urge SA premier Jay Weatherill to "keep the lights on".
To dump or not to dump nuclear waste was a question on many South Australians' lips in 2016, after a royal commission into the nuclear fuel cycle suggested storing nuclear waste could reap billions of dollars for the state. Premier Jay Weatherill said the idea could only go ahead with bipartisan support and public consent, which both seemed to wane in November when a 350-strong citizens jury overwhelmingly rejected the idea and the SA opposition withdrew its support for it. But a broader statewide consultation with more than 50,000 people found 43 per cent supported the idea, 37 per cent opposed it and 20 per cent were undecided. Mr Weatherill has flagged a future referendum but would need the Liberals' backing.
They say "third time's a charm" but SA's voluntary euthanasia supporters may be hoping 16 is a luckier number, after the 14th and 15th attempts to legislate the option in the state failed in 2016. Labor MP Steph Key introduced the 14th bill in February but a lack of support for it led Liberal MP Dr Ian McFetridge to issue a 15th bill in September with stronger safeguards. That bill was defeated in early hours of November 17 on the controversial casting ballot of speaker Michael Atkinson after MPs were deadlocked at 23-23 in a conscience vote. TV presenter and advocate Andrew Denton had spruiked the bill and said it's defeat would not end the issue.
NT POLL
The ruling Country Liberals government was obliterated when Territorians went to the polls in August fed up with four years of scandal. The CLP was reduced to just two seats in parliament following a single term in office marred by defections, leadership spills and 18 cabinet reshuffles. Labor snapped up 18 of 25 seats in the landslide election win alongside five independents in an unprecedented makeup. Women make up the majority in Chief Minister Michael Gunner's new ministry, snagging five of eight cabinet positions. His predecessor Adam Giles says the Don Dale youth justice scandal cost him his seat, which he held for eight years with a margin of about 19 per cent.
Ms Dhu, a 22-year-old Aboriginal woman, was treated inhumanely and her death in custody could have been prevented if doctors diagnosed her illness earlier, WA Coroner Ros Fogliani found. Ms Dhu died two days after being locked up at South Hedland Police Station in August 2014 for unpaid fines totalling $3622. She died during her third visit in as many days to the Hedland Health Campus from staphylococcal septicaemia and pneumonia after an infection in her fractured ribs – caused by her boyfriend – spread to her lungs. Officers thought Ms Dhu was faking illness and was coming down from drugs, while medical staff also thought she was exaggerating and had behavioural issues. Footage from the lock-up showed police dragging and carrying Ms Dhu's limp body. Another showed an officer pulling Ms Dhu by the wrist to sit her up before dropping her, causing her to hit her head.
