North Korea joins ICBM club —but why now?
North Korea announced Dec. 12 that it had successfully launched a satellite into orbit atop a three-stage rocket. "The launch of the second version of our Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite from the Sohae Space Center in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province by carrier rocket Unha-3 on December 12 was successful," North Korea's news agency, KCNA, reported. "The satellite has entered the orbit as planned." Efforts to launch a satellite last April failed when the rocket exploded moments after lift-off. This time, the effort appears to have succeeded. The US mobilized four warships to track the launch, and Japan's government issued orders to its military to shoot down any rocket debris that entered its territory. The first stage splashed into Yellow Sea, the second into the Philippine Sea north of Luzon Island; the third remains in orbit. This means North Korea now has the ability to go "exo-atmospheric"—a capacity that could be used in an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM). The US maintains the launch constitutes a test of long-range missile technology banned under UN resolutions.
DPRK propaganda vid: sinister or just surreal?
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea is not known for its subtlety, famous instead for its soaring patriotic rhetoric and threats to turn the capital of its rival, South Korea, into a "sea of fire."
But even by those standards, the latest volley of North Korea propaganda is noteworthy. Posted recently on YouTube, a video by one of the North's propaganda agencies shows an animated version of Manhattan in flames — part of a dream in which a young Korean man envisions a glorious future of rocket launchings and the reunification of the Korean Peninsula. The background music to the scenes of launchings and destruction: an instrumental version of "We Are the World."
"I see black smoke billowing somewhere in America," the text that scrolls across the screen says in what are, in essence, subtitles of the man's dream. "It appears that the headquarters of evil, which has had a habit of using force and unilateralism and committing wars of aggression, is going up in flames it itself has ignited."
By Tuesday afternoon, the video had been removed from YouTube after a copyright complaint from Activision, the maker of the video game "Call of Duty," from which the fiery New York scene was lifted. Copies, however, were up elsewhere on the Web, including on Live Leak.
The three-and-a-half-minute clip — titled "On Board Unha-9" and posted on YouTube on Saturday by Uriminzokkiri, a North Korean government Web site — is the latest evidence of the propaganda mileage Pyongyang is extracting from its Dec. 12 launching of its Unha-3 rocket, which the West considers North Korea's first successful test of long-range-missile technology.
An utterly bizarre March 2 CNN report, "5 ways North Korea keeps getting stranger," lists as number five "Dreaming of annihilating the United States, to the tune of 'We Are The World'"... But the others are just as weird.
If you read the reports about former NBA star Dennis Rodman's visit to Pyongyang, you might have double-checked whether the story was just another Onion parody.
Not only did the American basketball star -- known for his over-the-top publicity stunts -- visit North Korea, but he also was joined by three members of the famed Harlem Globetrotters, who played against North Korea's "Dream Team" (no surprise, the game ended in a tie). Rodman proclaimed Kim "a friend for life," and appeared courtside with the North Korean leader.
Not everyone was cheering this so-called "basketball diplomacy." A commentary in Canada's National Post outlined North Korea's "monstrous gulag system that Dennis Rodman will never see."
You've probably seen that NASA satellite photo of the Korean peninsula at night, the one that shows the northern half completely dark while the southern half and the Chinese coast are fully alight. Electricity is still a luxury in North Korea, where cold winds from nearby Siberia can plunge temperatures below freezing. But that didn't stop Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt from visiting North Korea in January as part of a delegation urging North Korea to "make it possible for people to use the Internet."
While many North Koreans might be more interested in having a heated home, Schmidt and his Google colleague Jared Cohen have advocated about the Internet's ability to empower citizens living under oppressive regimes.
In the wake of the Schmidt and Rodman visits, Bloomberg Businessweek looked at just how many Westerners are heading to North Korea for its closely monitored, government-run tours. Surprisingly, it found a nearly 20% increase in visits since 2011.
The United States isn't the only outside country that has a love-hate relationship with North Korea. Until the end of World War II, Korea was a Japanese colony, and many Koreans were brought to Japan -- many against their will -- before Korea was divided between north and south. More recently, North Korea admitted to kidnapping Japanese citizens from Japanese soil in the 1970s and 1980s, something Tokyo has demanded more answers about.
Despite this tense history, Japan hosts a number of North Korean-funded schools -- complete with portraits of North Korea's founder Kim Il Sung and previous leader Kim Jong Il on its walls. Students, who are mostly Japanese, say they are learning Korean culture and language, and laugh off suggestions that they're training to be spies.
North Korea amplified its threatening rhetoric as the U.N. Security Council approved new sweeping sanctions, vowing to launch a first-strike nuclear attack against the United States and threatening to engulf Washington in a "sea of fire."
At a mass rally in Pyongyang on Thursday, Army Gen. Kang Pyo Yong told the crowd that North Korea is ready to fire long-range nuclear-armed missiles at Washington.
"Intercontinental ballistic missiles and various other missiles, which have already set their striking targets, are now armed with lighter, smaller and diversified nuclear warheads and are placed on a standby status," Kang said. "When we shell (the missiles), Washington, which is the stronghold of evils, .... will be engulfed in a sea of fire."
It would hardly be necessary to answer such a ridiculous fiction were it not for the fact that the corporate media are constantly coming up with alarming stories about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, picturing it as irrational, aggressive and ready to attack.
North Korea says it is scrapping all non-aggression pacts with South Korea, closing its hotline with Seoul, and shutting down the crossing point between the two countries, BBC reports.
There is a "crossing point"?
The UN may be passing new sanctions against North Korea for its latest nuclear test and North Korea in turn may be calling those sanctions "an act of war" and subsequently threatening to obliterate South Korea, the United States and the world as we know it, but capitalism, lest we forget, stops for no man or megalomaniac. Thus does the official DPRK website—or at least a part of the website run by a possibly quasi-independent Special Delegate of the Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, High Ministry in the Government of the DPRK - include a Cafe Press online store offering an impressive array of Propaganda t-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps and jerseys, and messenger bags, with other sites offering other stuff. Some items on the DPRK site are specifically identified as made by American companies, Thermos and American Apparel among them. Others don't say, but sure sound it: "Look cool without breaking the bank (in) our durable, high-quality, pre-shrunk 100% cotton tank top," "Stay cool & dry while running, biking, hiking or exercising in this great-looking Dry Fit shirt...(It) comes with a custom printed design to show your passion," and "Be the envy of your tailgate party with this insulated can holder....(burrrrr)." Buy now, going—'along with any modicum of limit, reason, taste or political coherence in the global marketplace—fast.

We have determined: There will not be war on the Korean peninsula. Our reading of the facts tells us that all the saber-rattling is for show, creating a sense of realism for North Korea's rulers to turn the country into a Cold War nostalgia theme park and rake in tourism dollars. This isn't a joke, we're absolutely serious.
We don't mean political "realism." We mean it in the artistic sense.
North Korea issued air raid alerts and ordered its military to take immediate action, the country's state media outlet said Thursday.
Korean Central Television, a TV and radio broadcaster, said the alert was issued at 9:32 a.m. with military units and civilians told to take cover. It added that authorities called on the armed forces to take countermeasures to reduce damage.
The broadcaster did not say if an attack is under way or expected, indicating it may be a drill. The North has carried out similar air raid drills in the past, and ordered blackouts during nighttime exercises.
Related to the air raid alert, South Korea's military confirmed the North carried out a drill.
"The drill may be in response to the earlier deployment of a U.S. B-52 bomber over South Korea," an official said. He added that the alert is similar to civil defense air raid drills carried out by Seoul.
We saw this movie in 1950. Do we really need a remake?
The $800m Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System, which was slated to be installed in 2015, will now be sent within weeks, following warnings that Guam, Hawaii or the US west coast could be hit.
North Korea vowed Tuesday to restart a nuclear reactor that can make one bomb's worth of plutonium a year, escalating tensions already raised by near daily warlike threats against the United States and South Korea.
The North's plutonium reactor was shut down and partially destroyed in 2007 as part of international nuclear disarmament talks that have since stalled. The declaration of a resumption of plutonium production — the most common fuel in nuclear weapons — and other facilities at the main Yongbyon (also spelled Nyongbyon) nuclear complex would boost fears in Washington and among its allies about North Korea's timetable for building a nuclear-tipped missile that can reach the United States, technology it is not currently believed to have.
Ratcheting up the rhetoric, North Korea warned early Thursday that its military has been cleared to wage an attack on the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear" weapons.
"The bottom line is simply that what Kim Jong Un is choosing to do is provocative. It is dangerous, reckless. The United States will not accept the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) as a nuclear state," Kerry said during a joint briefing in Washington with South Korea Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se.
Not to loan any support to the idiot left factions shilling for the DPRK (really) but why does the US get to decide who gets to be a "nuclear state" and who doesnt? I mean, the US is massively subsidizing nuclear Israel and Pakistan, and is not living up to its own responsibilities to seek disarmament under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. But we're not supposed to talk about that.
Theater, for the moment. Let's hope life doesn't start imitating art.
Pentagon leaders have postponed Tuesday's routine test of an unarmed Minuteman 3 missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base, citing concerns it could be misinterpreted amid escalating tensions with North Korea.
A senior military official said Saturday that the test likely will be rescheduled for next month, giving time for the current crisis to calm before conducting the Minuteman 3 launch.
Before the postponement, one nuclear analyst expressed concern that the test, although part of a regular program, could easily be misconstrued by North Korea's highly paranoid dictator.
The launch date had been scheduled for months and wasn't in response to any international incidents, Air Force officials said Friday.
"This is something we do regularly to test our systems," said Carla Pampe, a spokeswoman for Air Force Global Strike Command in Louisiana.
North Korea: USA is "boiled pumpkin"
...While North Korea has for years threatened to turn Seoul, which is within range of its artillery, into a "sea of fire," it more recently has taken aim at the distant US.
"The US mainland is similar to a boiled pumpkin," the state news agency said, quoting an official of Kim Il-Sung Military University. "This vast territory will inevitably turn into a living hell of appalling disasters by the annihilating strikes to be dealt by the Korean People's Army."
...The Korean Central News Agency also has resorted to doctoring photos to exaggerate the regime's military prowess.
A photo released by the state agency last month shows hovercraft storming a beach during a training exercise. The picture had been altered to paste additional vessels into the scene, with two of them kicking up an identical fierce spray in otherwise calm waters. Agence France-Presse later killed the photo's distribution, saying an analysis showed unmistakable signs of manipulation.
Another set of photos that appeared in the official newspaper of the Korean Workers' Party show a seated Kim, surrounded by military advisers, reviewing his "US mainland strike plan." A map on the wall behind him shows targets that include Hawaii, San Diego, Washington and a Texas city that may be Austin.
Texas Governor Rick Perry used the occasion to promote Austin. "The individuals in North Korea understand that Austin, Texas, is now a very important city in America, as do corporate CEOs and other people who are moving here in record numbers," the Republican governor told CBS News.
North Korean propaganda often takes an especially dismissive view of women who oppose the regime, as in a March 13 attack on the new president of South Korea, Park Geun-Hye, saying her "swish of skirt" was to blame for rising tensions on the Korean peninsula.
We especially love that one. If any US politician had made such a comment, the idiot left factions shilling for the DPRK would be screaming "sexist!" But of course when North Korea does it, it is good Communist sexism, not evil capitalist sexism!
The DPRK continues to send the surreal-o-meter into tilt. The NY Daily News May 29 reported on the latest K-pop sensation... from Pyongyang.
Though South Korea has been enjoying the warm glow of the spotlight with international sensation Psy, it was only a matter of time before its mortal enemy North Korea fired back — at least in a pop sense.
Enter The Moranbong Music Band, a musical group of five North Korean ladies who were hand-selected by the country's communist leader, Kim Jong Un.
The Supreme Leader formed the band — comprised of slim, attractive musicians — in 2012 to sing state-sanctioned pop songs as part of a larger initiative to bring together citizens of the secretive nation.
They have already performed for the Supreme Leader on several occassions, including last year's New Year extravaganza.
The surprisingly hip formation of the band is part of a new century of the DPRK's "Juche Korea," according to a release earlier this year by the state-controlled North Korean media.
The five women prance around onstage in glitzy, sequined costumes, singing songs like "Let's Study!" and "Our Dear Leader!"
With synthesizer, strings, guitar, and some impressive five-part harmonies, the Band is an amalgamation of classical, light rock, 80s pop, with a dash of 60s girl band choreography.
The text does not make clear what an accompanying Reuters photo reveals: the band performed at their inaugural gig last July against a giant screen backdrop with images from... Walt Disney! Specifically Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Right, we'll nuke Anaheim, but not before emulating the globalist Borg! What did we say about North Korea being a giant theme park?

Pinar Toprak to Score Marvel's CAPTAIN MARVEL
June 14, 2018/updated
Pinar Toprak (KRYPTON) Set to Score Marvel's CAPTAIN MARVEL
Composer Pinar Toprak announced on her Facebook page today: "I'm so thrilled to finally announce that I will be scoring the upcoming CAPTAIN MARVEL! It's an incredible honor to be a part of the Marvel Universe."
In the movie, slated to premiere in March, 2019, Brie Larson plays Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, who becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.
"So many thoughts racing through my head. And the main one is gratitude," Pinar continued. "I have so many people to thank for helping me on this journey but first and foremost, my incredible agents Laura Engel and Richard Kraft for believing in me from day one and Dave Jordan and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime."

Iffley Church. 1859. From The Book of the Thames from its Rise to its Fall, p. 114. [Click on image to enlarge it.] Text and formatting by George P. Landow.

Commentary by the Halls
The current carries us gently to Iffley lock, distant about two miles — rich flat meadows on either side; but the landscape receiving grace and beauty from the hills of Shotover, Bagley Wood, and the slope on which stands the fine and very venerable church. The voyager, how- ever, will often look back, for gradually, as we remove from the city, the view gains in interest; the lower houses disappear, while towers, and domes, and spires of churches and colleges rise above the trees, standing out in high relief, backed by the sky. Iffley is justly considered "one of the finest and most beautiful examples in England of an Anglo-Norman parochial church." It consists of a nave and chancel divided by a tower, forming, indeed, "an interesting school of ancient architecture," affording a series of examples of almost every age and style, and being "accepted" as high and pure "authority" by church architects.
The date of its foundation is probably as far back as the reign of King Stephen, when it was built by the monks of Kenilworth; authentic records prove it to have been in existence at the end of the twelfth century; it has endured with very little change from that far-off period to this; and many of its elaborate and beautiful decorations, exterior as well as interior, are now as perfect as they were when they left the hands of the sculptor-artizan.
The churchyard contains an aged yew-tree — so aged that no stretch of fancy is required to believe it was planted when the first stone of the sacred structure was laid. The rectory is in admirable keeping with the church, although of a much later date: also at the adjacent weir is a venerable mill, the successor of that which flourished here so far back as the time of the first Edward.

A new device that detects melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer — has been approved by U.S. regulators, according to U.S. news reports.
MelaFind, designed by Mela Sciences, is a groundbreaking device that takes "digital images of skin growths" and compares them to a database of thousands of scans for signs of melanoma, the Associated Press reports.
The non-invasive diagnostic can help doctors decide whether to biopsy skin growths in their early stages, device maker Mela Sciences said on its website.
"While there have been incremental improvements in imaging tools for melanoma detection, we still primarily rely on our eyes, experience and judgment," Fox News quoted Dr. Darrell Rigel, a professor of dermatology at New York University Medical School, as saying.
Melanoma is responsible for 75 percent of skin cancer fatalities, according to the Mela Sciences website.
Although melanoma is virtually 100% curable if detected at its earliest stage, one American dies from the disease every hour.
Rates of the disease are on the rise, "especially in younger women," according to the Irvington, NY, based company.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the MelaFind on Wednesday, though only for dermatologists, in the hope of curbing the death rate.

The AP cites National Institutes figures as showing that more than 70,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with melanoma this year, with 16 percent of them diagnosed only after the disease has spread to other parts of the body.
Nearly all patients diagnosed with early-stage melanoma can be treated and cured, but 85 percent of patients with late-stage melanoma die from it within five years.
Mela Sciences hopes to launch MelaFind in "high volume" dermatology practices in the Northeast United States during early next year, Fox reported.

As political and military solutions to the conflicts in Syria and Afghanistan are nowhere in sight, the refugee crisis in Europe is not going to disappear in a hurry.
More than a decade has passed since the European Union (EU) signed strategic partnerships with China (2003) and India (2004). The EU's 'honeymoon' with China was over within a few years while cooperation on truly strategic issues with India is yet to emerge. The core of both these relationships is still economics.
The fall of the wall also coincided with the collapse of the USSR and end of the Cold War. Theoverall changes since 1989 have been largely a remarkable success with the majority of citizens in the former socialist countries not wanting to go back to the earlier economic and political system.
Russia has signalled its intentions in Crimea. With neither the US nor Europe willing to be engaged in another crisis in Eastern Europe, the Russian strategy would be to re-enter the scenario not as a junior partner of the West but as a recognized primary power in the region, without whom Ukraine cannot be stabilised.
The main objective of the summit is to attract foreign investment in Afghanistan, particularly in the context of emerging opportunities in sectors like mining, hydrocarbons, infrastructure, telecommunications, agriculture, education, health services, etc.
In the absence of even an FTA, the main challenge before policy makers from India and the EU will be to continue justifying the relevance of a strategic partnership to their respective constituencies.

Would be great to see in SNW, the Klingons, how they changed to look more human (in TOS). Would L'Rell go thru the painful surgery just for her love of Tyler!? Would love to see this take on the new Pike series. The reasons for their transformation. I mean, besides the real makeup issue. :P
They already did that on Enterprise.
Yeah, I wish they would have an in-universe explanation too. I'm a big fan of visual continuity (across the various series) and Discovery totally wrecked that with the Klingons and with the pre-TOS setting in general. My "head canon" explanation is that the Klingons attempted to reverse engineer the augment virus and it ended up reverting them to an earlier stage of their evolution. At some point prior to TOS they realized these changes weren't good (for some reason) and undid them but it changed them back to the flatheads until around the time of TMP when they finally got it right…
Reply to Captain Danno
I'm not obsessed with visual continuity, but the look of the Klingons is an issue for me because it was specifically addressed in episodes of Deep Space Nine and Enterprise, so it's obviously not just the makeup. The whole explanation about Klingons shaving their head is war just makes it even stranger. I have a similar issue with the holophone – it was specifically mentioned as band new in Deep Space Nine.
I like that headcanon. It certainly makes more sense than "there were both varieties, we just only saw one despite there being a huge war" (similar to how every Romulan seen between TOS and Picard was somehow a "northerner").

You guys should read this article. The Disco Klingons are not a problem.
https://www.herocollector.com/en-gb/Article/star-trek-the-many-faces-of-the-klingon
The Klingons have been changed MANY times, long before Discovery. Fans are so needlessly melodramatic about the Disco Klingons.

Reply to His Name Is Rios
They suck and are awful and I hate them. "Need" doesn't enter into it.
You make a sound logical point, though, I can't deny it.
Again, for many, it's not they changed so much that it was a really BAD change more than anything. Definitely for me. I just finished rewatching season one of Discovery a few days ago and I still can't use to them. They just looked and felt so out of place.
Totally. If we don't know Berman era Klingons maybe is not a big deal. But knowing famous characters like Worf, B'Elanna, and so many others, it is very hard to like how they look in Discovery.
Feel bad for the actors which all are very cool. Chieffo, Latif, Obi, and Mitchell were outstanding. Looked very hard for them to move, to show their facial emotions. Also the struggle to talk, they sound a little muffled with the facial prosthetics….not such a good idea.
AllenWrench
If they want to continue the thread of DS9 and ENT explaining this, I think now it would be best to have an episode showing the different looks of Klingons all together in one room, suggesting to us there are different races of Klingon within the empire with periods where one race has been dominate over others. I mean, empires are supposed to be big, so why not?
My bad. Totally forgot about the virus story on Enterprise. Still, I wonder if Mary Chieffo and all the Klingons will have another makeup transformation on SNW.
Tribble Tartare
The way I'd like to see this rectified is by having a situation where diplomatic communications between the Federation and the Klingons are being brokered by Pike and L'Rell, but many of the Klingon houses are too proud to have anything to do with the Federation. L'Rell turns to the augment-afflicted Klingons, who are ostracised from normal Klingon society but still desperate to prove their honour and value as Klingons. These smooth-headed Klingons agree to act as intermediaries between the Klingon Empire and the Federation, patrolling the borders – which suits regular Klingons just fine, as they want to be as far away from the ideals of the Federation as possible. Tyler can be involved here as a commander of this border force. This would explain why we only encounter these smooth-headed Klingons in TOS, until it is fully-cured by TMP.
Reply to Tribble Tartare
I like that a lot! I would still like an in universe explanation for why the Discovery Klingons look so different too, though. It just doesn't seem plausible that they were never seen before or after. The changes are just too radical including their fingers and hands. I suppose you could claim they were a sect that had been relegated into the shadows before the augment virus and then either made to look like normal Klingons when the augment virus was finally cured or that they were somehow relegated back into the shadows. I just wish the Discovery producers would not have created this mess in the first place, ha! And yes I know this doesn't matter to a lot of people. But IDIC. It does to me. :-)
It is not only on Discovery. The Klingons look different in every iteration of Star Trek.
I like your take on this. Interesting approach. It is very likely L'Rell will be part of the main cast or will be a recurring character like Martok, Kor, Dukat, or Garek.
Writing this now makes me think how different was DS9 in regards to Klingons. Did not have any significant stories with Klingon Females. Minor roles. The Duras Sisters and Grilka were the only three I remember. :P
Laurie Ulster
I loved K'Ehleyr on TNG. Great character.
T.boyle
I guess the Chancellor's daughter on Star Trek 6.
ertre
Please no. Keep the Klingon Orcs out of it.
I have similar questions as Anthony regarding whether whatever explanation they come up with for Calypso holds up. My theory for it was that Calypso took place in the Kelvinverse, and that Discovery still got the sphere data, but either the confrontation with Control didn't happen or happened differently, leaving them to abandon the ship instead of go to the 32nd century. It will be interesting to see what they come up with for the official explanation.
It's a good question. I think what they were saying in those interviews, though, is that it is not going to be an alternate or Kelvin universe thing. Time will tell!
Scott McC
Thanks Laurie and Tony. Great chat and discussion. I would love to see Mary Chieffo back on Star Trek but think she would also be terrific in the "other" franchise you mentioned during your discussion. I also like how you let your guests do the talking and give them every opportunity to really have their say. Too often it's about the interviewer as opposed to the interviewee but with your discussions, it's very much about the guest which makes for a nice change.
I wonder if you would consider doing something on "Enterprise" in the coming months, which I believe has it's 20th anniversary this year. Having done a complete series re-watch recently, I do think that show still had a lot of potential and it saddens me that it ended in the manner it did.
Reply to Scott McC
Thanks, Scott! Our podcast is mostly focused on all the new Star Trek that's being produced now, although of course we talk about all the Star Treks in the course of doing so. The Shuttle Pod (the other TrekMovie podcast) might be doing something for Enterprise for its 20th, and of course we will have stuff on the site.
KevinB
I enjoyed your interview with Mary Chieffo. The first season is my favorite season of Discovery. I loved the look, the diversity of the different houses and ships, and the klingon designs. They looked more menacing and terrifying. My head canon is this: If not all humans look the same, then not all Klingons look the same. Perhaps, the Klingons we see in TOS, explained in ENT, are used to infiltrate federation space and the virus only affected a certain percentage of the population. Once again my head canon.
I am hopeful we will see L'rell in Strange New Worlds. Shes a wonderful actress.
Great Podcast Overall!
Reply to KevinB
I assumed the virus only infected a few colony worlds. Them being soldiers on the Federation border would make a lot of sense.
Reply to T.boyle
Agreed! Maybe SNW or S31 might spin it that way. I'm hoping they do address it.
Really hope to see L'Rell on SNW! Always liked her although I really hated the way the Klingons looked first season of Discovery but a major improvement in the second.
LCDRTREV
So, technically we don't know that Klingon's have more than one…um, er, you know. We saw two streams. So there were clearly two…openings. But that doesn't mean they came from separate organs.
And I can't believe I've given this subject this much thought.

FIR lodged against tax collector by Jorhat Municipal Board
By STAFF CORRESPONDENT - 15 Sep 2010 12:00 AM GMT
JORHAT, April 27: The Jorhat Municipal Board authorities yesterday lodged an FIR against a tax collector of the Board Debanga Saikia at Jorhat Police Station on charges of siphoning off over Rs 3 lakh collected as quarterly tax from the citizens in the past few years.
A JMB source stated that Saikia, appointed during the tenure of the previous Board run by the Congress party, allegedly in the past few years did not deposit the money, collected as tax from citizens, in the JMB office.
The amount of the money collected as tax by Saikia from JMB taxpayers that was not deposited in the Board office is over Rs 3 lakh, the source revealed.
The source further said the JMB authorities have suspended Saikia from service and lodged an FIR against him at the police station.
An official of the Jorhat Police Station said a case has been registered against Saikia under the relevant Sections of IPC and investigation was on.


If, when, and how should probiotics be used?
Probiotics are naturally found in the human body and are often called "good" bacteria. The right balance of good bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus species, in the digestive tract helps to support the body's immune system and intestinal health.
Probiotics can be taken as a supplement or in the form of enhanced foods like probiotics yogurt and can help restore the balance of bacteria in the body.
There is no evidence that the use of probiotic in healthy children of any age is unsafe. Until further conclusive evidence has been established, the American Association of Pediatrics does not recommend the use of probiotics in children who are seriously ill. Further study is required to determine the optimal duration, dosage, and species of probiotic supplements.
Research has indicated that probiotics are beneficial and can shorten the duration of diarrhea due to stomach viruses, may prevent cases of diarrhea when taken daily, and reduce the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants.
Some probiotics trials have found that probiotics may also reduce symptoms of colic, reflux, constipation and irritable bowel syndrome in children.
There is even preliminary research that indicates probiotics could be beneficial in treating or preventing eczema, allergies, and asthma.
For Acute Diarrhea – 1 pill of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (should not be given to children with a milk allergy) for 7 days. The contents of the pill can be added to something cold your child likes to eat or drink.
While Taking Antibiotics – Antibiotics kill all intestinal bacteria, both good and bad. Taking 1 pill of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (should not be given to children with a milk allergy) or Saccharomyces boulardiifor the entire duration of the antibiotic treatment can help restore the good bacteria. The contents of the pill can be added to something cold your child likes to eat or drink.
For more information about probiotics for kids or to schedule an appointment, please contact us today at Woodburn Pediatric Clinic.

Jump down the rabbit hole with cast and crew of Alice @ Wonderland
Mahie Panjwani and Rosalie Troup
It is off with all of their heads! Edison Intermediate School (EIS) has performed fall dramas since 2003, and the latest show was Alice @ Wonderland. It is a modern retelling where 14-year-old Alice falls down a rabbit hole to Wonderland and is forced to interact with crazy characters to try to get out. Both the cast and crew put in many hours practicing to make this fall drama magical. According to the actors, EIS shows are valuable because they unite the students as a community; everyone is equally represented and everyone including the teachers puts in so much time and effort.
What an audience sees when they go to a show is dazzling and amazing. However, not many people know the hard work that goes into the show other than the people involved in the show. A few members chose to share their experiences, starting off with Lauren Roszak who played the role of Alice. Lauren explained, "This show was an amazing production filled with [actors] who are so committed. We worked so hard over the weeks before the show!"
The show taught students how hard work ends up with positive results."I truly liked seeing everything come together. It made everyone, especially myself, feel so proud of what we did." stated eighth grader Regan Stevens who played Tweedledee.
Eighth grader Emma Simpson, who played the Fish Newsie, responded, "The show was extremely fun! I made a lot of new friends and really stepped out of my comfort zone."
According to the actors, the EIS shows are places where students can just be themselves. Seventh grader Rylan Bowie, who was Humpty Dumpty, said, "It's really fun watching kids do what they love."
The show becomes a kind and safe community for everyone. "It is a really positive [space]! I get to have fun and hang out with all my friends!" seventh grader Julia DeFilipps, who played the Queen's Guard, shared.
Everyone makes new friends and really becomes a sort of community. "You'll become friends with people you could never have expected…talking to people that you never knew before," revealed Lily Shackert, a seventh grader who played the King of Hearts.
No matter what grade you are, you can still join in on the fun! "It's great! There's lots of old friends and new ones that I met that I get to act with," said sixth grader Madelyn Koelhoffer who played the Queen's Guard.
Sixth grader Erin Young, who was the Frog Newsie, stated, "I loved it! I've met so many people and made many friends."
Overall, the EIS shows are a lot of fun and every student can enjoy them. "The show was awesome! It was really funny!" informed eighth grader Maddy Cortes who was the Queen of Hearts.
The cast is important, but nothing would happen without the hours that the crew put into putting the show together. The crew does everything from advertising, creating the costumes, helping create scenes, making the art and sets for the show, moving the sets around, managing how everything fits together, and generally making the show run smoothly. Stereotypically, the crew is forgotten and the cast gets all of the credit in a performance. In an EIS show, however, this is different. "I like being in the crew because I can be an integral part of the show without being in the show!" stated Madeline Schlitzer, Stage Right Manager of Alice @ Wonderland in eighth grade.
Being on a stage crew is different from being an actor while still being enjoyable. Sixth grader, Austin Hsieh a non-show affiliated sixth grade student replied, "I'd want to be [part of] stage crew as an [assistant director] if I was in it."
The show is a space for everyone in both cast and crew to be friends and spend meaningful time together. "I might do the musical because it's[also] pretty fun," said eighth grader Joel Hoffman.
Seventh grade student Natalie Diamond who is not currently in the show added, "I think the musical is going to be entertaining and funny!"
The students pour their hearts and souls into the show, but no one knows the dedication it requires to make the show like the teacher themselves. Starting off with the beloved Principal Dr. Matthew Bolton. "I loved it! I know a little more than the general audience about the time and effort that goes into these shows. The fall drama was totally student-run and student-led. I think that anything that can connect with you as a middle-schooler is a good show in my eyes."
No one knows more about the behind-the-scenes than the run crew manager herself, Mrs. Emma Friar. "I love the show community. It's truly a great experience. You get to have fun, make new friends, and show a different facet of yourself."
Everyone owes so much to Mr. John Scozzaro who was the head of the sound crew. "It's been great. It's always wonderful seeing the number of people in this. My crew is great and they've pretty much taken over. I love how it's a modern twist on a classic story. I encourage students to see the show. The EIS shows are phenomenal and rival most high schools."
Finally, ending with the director himself, the man responsible for all of these shows, Mr. Michael Altmann. "It's been amazing and I love every second of it! I've been doing the show since 2003, and I love working on these because the shows are for the kids and they speak to who the kids are. I love what I do, but afterschool, I get to see kids coming out of their shells and enjoying themselves!"
The shows are such a positive experience for everyone. Many people believe that the show is "amazing" to be in and participate in again and again. Feed in the magic of wonderland. The cast, crew, and teachers put so much of their time and effort into creating a quality Fall Drama for you. Everyone can agree that they are all 'mad' for Alice @ Wonderland!

Premiere: Seinabo Sey Shares MagnusTheMagnus Remix Of "Sorry"
Injecting hope into the mournful and melancholic "Sorry", written by gifted Gambian singer-songwriter Seinabo Sey, MagnusTheMagnus reworks the artist's soulful track with anthemic flair. Originally producing the entirety of Seinabo's debut, critically-acclaimed LP Pretend, Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Magnus imprints a bold, commanding instrumental onto the heartbreaking track, imagining the triumphant idea of being reborn after the grand finale of a relationship. A healing break-up hymn that looks forward and forgets the past, this remix sits alongside a host of other mixes from fellow DJs Junge Junge and Le Bouef, all released today. Seinabo will be performing at Afropunk and Way Out West festivals this summer—a perfect sunshine act for the gradually approaching bikini weather. Play this one loud with the windows open and your sleeves rolled up.

Q: Running Commands for Wifi at Startup I have just found a way to get my wifi to work using these commands:
sudo rmmod iwldvm
sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

I would rather not type these in every time I log onto my computer. I was wondering how I might get these commands to run automatically when I log in. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Thanks for any help!

A: Rather than running the commands on login, it would usually be better practice to configure the kernel modules at boot time via files in the /etc/modprobe.d directory.
The names of the files are arbitrary (although they should have a .conf suffix) but it is a good idea to make them relate to the module in an obvious way e.g.

*

*create a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-iwldvm.conf containing the line
blacklist iwldvm

*create a file /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf containing the line
options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

The iwlwifi.conf file may exist already (if you have configured other options previously) - if so just append the new option rather than creating a new file. The changes will take effect when you reboot.

From Zaira Wasim to Nusrat Jahan To Sunny Leone – Women Are Constantly Told That Their Lives And Bodies Are Not Their Own
By Nehmat Kaur
What were you like when you were 13? 18? Did you eventually go into the career you'd always dreamt of as a child? Or did life – and other priorities – get in the way? What was your first job like? How'd that change one year in? Five years later?
It takes a lot of luck (ahem, privilege) and sometimes an enviable capacity for tunnel vision to follow exactly the path you set out for yourself. As I've grown older, my childhood idea of myself has started to edge away from who I really am. And now adulthood (from the little I know of it) is mostly about managing and minimising that dissonance. We all live a little bit of our lives in our heads, playing make-believe games just to see what It, whatever that may have been, would have been like.
Everyone changes but not everyone is given the space to justify their decisions, to fill up their narrative with the nuances of conflicting thoughts and feelings. That's the realm of individuality, and not everyone gets the privilege of being a person unto themselves.
I don't know if Zaira Wasim anticipated becoming a national talking point when she announced that she's dissociating from Bollywood because – and here's the root of many people's problem – it interferes with her religion.
The trolls came out before the wires had even had time to copy-paste Wasim's statement into a news item. Some took the opportunity to make terrible, flat memes about the relative freedoms of Hindu women over Muslim ones, relying on tired old images of burqa-clad women shepherding lots of children down some vague street. Some were mad at Wasim for talking about religion so openly (because when an MP says Indians can proudly wear their religion on their sleeves now, we all know which one he means); words like oppression and indoctrination were thrown around freely.
A day later, a new Hashtag emerged on Twitter, holding the much-derided 'liberals' (a vague collection that means more to those who oppose it than the people who are supposedly in the group) accountable for a young woman's decision to do something else with her life. The problem of course, is that she picked religion. And then to top it off, she picked Islam.
A young woman's momentous decision about her own life (we all make some around 18) has been wrested away and turned into a crude debate about religion and women's rights. Her individuality – if it ever even existed for these commentators – has been reduced to rubble. Zaira Wasim is now being treated as a cultural representation of an entire culture, an entire religion. A cultural billboard to throw our opinions and ideas at. An artefact that we can employ to bolster our already-solidified conceptions of what Islam is and isn't.
It hasn't really occurred to anyone to ask Wasim any of these questions. Which seems odd at first, but then I realised that the world is treating her like a Thing and objects don't give answers, they just provide a platform for our "analysis".
This is of course, not new to women, especially those who belong to minority communities. Women's bodies and lives are never their own. We're always fenced into roles – mother, daughter, sister. We're the repositories of culture – an expression of history and present, the brand ambassadors of millions of people, all rolled into one. Where's the space for individual will, dreams, agency in that?
It's insulting to Wasim to imply that the only way she would choose religion over career is because she was forced into it or "brainwashed". It reduces her articulate and critical examining of herself and Islam's dictats – put out in a lengthy statement – to nothing. It trivialises five whole years of experience producing critically-acclaimed work to nothing. Worst of all it erases the individual from her own life.
Muslim women around the world, of course, are now used to this. Globally, the Hijab and Niqab are seen as symbols of systemic oppression because how could they be anything but. Whereas the truth as always is more complicated – women in the Shah's time in Iran used the hjiab as a weapon of resistance against his forced modernisation. In Orhan Pamuk's novel, Snow, one character starts wearing a hjiab as a form of rebellion to the state's modernising project. In India, some Muslim women have chosen to wear their religious identity on their sleeves (heads, in this case) because there are so many mass-scale attempts to erase and malign Islam.
An object itself has some power, but really it's about the person who wields it.
To indulge in a bit of whataboutery – some religious practices are so mainstreamed that we don't bat an eyelid. When a little prepubescent Hindu girl is married off to a middle aged man, at best it makes it to a small 2-inch space in the middle of a newspaper laden with more 'important' news. We don't take that one instance and zoom into it as the definitive symbol of Hinduism at large. Cognitively, we hold so much other information about Hindu girls and men and marriage practices that we brush this off as a one-off. We recognise that zooming into one tiny thing, so that it fills up our entire screen, bloats the image into an indecipherable collection of pixels. It means nothing.
But that's an understanding practically nobody else gets. Whether it's Nusrat Jahan who has clerics yell at her for wearing Sindoor to parliament or Sunny Leone who angered Sikhs by daring to use her own last name 'Kaur' in a biopic – women are constantly told their bodies and lives are not their own.
It's not unheard of for young women to prioritise religion. In fact, as a nation, we're doing it now more than ever. And blaming this mass criticism of Wasim on the specific tenets of Islam is a hollow argument. All religions are restrictive in a variety of ways. All structures and institutions are. Would it be national news if a turbaned Sikh man walked away from Bollywood because he didn't want to cut his hair and be mainstream? Maybe. But probably not. And not to this scale. And that's more about how we understand men and women's agency than anything else.
Part of growing up is negotiating our individual boundaries within structures. Everyone learns to make trade-offs – job that pays the bills over one that provides emotional sustenance; marriage instead of life as a single woman because the outside world just makes everything that much harder to be independent; shutting off the TV and picking up the textbook because there's an exam coming up; moving abroad or moving back home for ill family members.
Wasim is just an 18-year-old trying to find her place in the world. Just like the rest of us. Neither she nor any other woman should be burdened with the expectations and biases of a billion people. She should be allowed to be a singular person if that's what she wants. She should be given the space to choose her own labels, if she even wants them, and to discard old ones and pick new ones as and when she chooses.
Isn't that what privilege is? The freedom to not have politics enacted upon you? To be anything more than a cultural talking point? To have an identity that is not pinned to one aspect of yourself, one that you didn't even choose?
The same restrictive standard keep cropping up over and over again: Women should be seen, not heard. Unless we're letting some social group speak through us. And if we're audacious enough to use an authoritative 'I' and prioritise our individual selves through tweets, selfies, dinner table chats or Facebook posts, we get trampled on for not conforming to the entire world's conflicting opinions on what a woman ought to do or be.
A young woman is speaking, it's time to listen.

Aperture 27,000
Reviews BY Catherine Wilson from May/Jun 2009
Le Violon Bleu
UK Palestine
Four photographers represented personal and historical perspectives on the Palestinian experience in "Aperture 27,000" at London's Le Violon Bleu gallery. Rula Halawani, Sama Alshaibi, Rana Bishara and Anisa Ashkar each draw from collective and individual memory, conveying the influence of history on the present generation of Palestinian artists resisting the erasure of their culture and identity.
The exhibition title refers to the 27,000-square-kilometer area of Palestine, which was granted in the 1922 League of Nations' Mandate for Palestine. The country's borders were eroded during al-Nakba, "the Catastrophe," the Palestinians' name for a series of events in 1947–48 following the end of the British Mandate, including a new Partition Plan by the United Nations General Assembly, the founding of the state of Israel and the Palestinian Exodus of 1948. Aperture, an opening through which light enters a camera, here refers to Israel's border control of Palestine, inferring a supervised passage or access to land.
Rula Halawani, who is director of the Photography Unit at Birzeit University in the West Bank, presented an installation of 12 photographs entitled Intimacy (2004). This series of black-and-white prints documents encounters between Israeli border guards and West Bank residents at the Qalandia checkpoint. As faces of individuals are cropped from the frame, only disembodied torsos, arms and hands are visible. The inequality of status between the opposing parties is visually reinforced as the camera dwells on hands searching bags and examining ID documents. The title's irony is that this enforced invasion of individual space negates any genuine experience of "intimacy."
Multiple displacements have been a formative influence on the art of Sama Alshaibi, whose Iraqi father and Palestinian mother fled Palestine to Iraq during al-Nakba and later migrated to the United States at the beginning of Saddam Hussein's rule in 1979. Abu Ammar, RIP (2004), is a portrait of the artist's body wrapped in black cloth, concealing her hips, breasts and head. Her arms are clasped above her pregnant, distended abdomen, and her hands are clenched in fists, communicating defiance and stoicism. On Alshaibi's stomach is the Hand of Fatima—a hand with a single eye in the center of the palm—regarded in the Islamic world as a potent symbol of protection against the "evil eye." Written under the artist's navel is "10 Nov 04," the death date of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who was also known as Abu Ammar. As the first president of the
Palestinian National Authority, Arafat represents the continued will for Palestinian self-determination. Alshaibi's project of remembrance narrates a striving to not forget the past in order to envision a future.
Rana Bishara, born in Tarshiha, Galilee, where she still lives and works, is also motivated by resistance. The large color digital print Homage to Palestine (1999) is a close-up view of a sealed glass jar containing cut pieces of verdant, flesh-like cactus. The cactus, prevalent throughout the region, is used here as a symbol of the determination of the Palestinian people for survival and justice.
Anisa Ashkar, born in Acre, Galilee, and now a resident of Tel Aviv, employs her own body in performance works that describe a counter practice of "interference." The color
print Me and Paul Klee Painting (2004) documents her performance in Israel in 2004. Ashkar wears a long black dress and paints stone steps with milk. The white liquid spreads and spills across the ochre stone, suggesting cleansing and renewal. By inscribing her practice directly into public space, Ashkar draws attention to her presence and identity within Israel.
The art of Palestinian resistance has gained momentum since the 1950s, when early practitioners painted resonant images of Palestinian displacement. A half-century later, Halawani, Alshaibi, Bishara and Ashkar successfully employ the power of the photographic image to move beyond the shattering of the corporeal self by the trauma of exile. The complex challenge ahead is the creation of a new sense of self and Palestinian consciousness free from colonization of their culture, psyche and homeland.


Worthing led 2-1 with nine minutes to go but in the end were grateful for a stoppage time equaliser from Jalen Jones, as a see-saw game ended three-all.
David Ajiboye's ankle injury kept him out again, so Josh Gould came in for his full first team debut, while Darren Budd started in place of Joel Colbran. Hayden Skerry and Dylan Jelley retook their places on the bench.
The hosts seized the early initiative, with Zack Newton forcing the opening save from Billy Bishop, as he tried to chip the visiting 'keeper.
It didn't take long for the away side to respond and Jalen Jones was called upon twice in as many minutes to clear the danger. Helped by a combination of James Crane and Darren Budd on one occasion.
Those warning signs weren't heeded though, as Ricky Aguiar conceded a free-kick in a menacing-looking position and Tommy Bradford powered an effort over the wall and the outstretched hand of Kleton Perntreou, into the far top corner, from an inside-right position. Achieving his one hundredth goal for the club in the process.
Midway through the half and an aerial duel between Harry Ottaway and Ross Edwards, saw the ball fall ideally for Dixon, only for him to make rather a hash of his shot, upon reaching the box.
He was presented with another chance moments later, when a slip by Budd let him in but Jones was there once again to ensure nothing came of it.
Bishop made a rare save just past the half-hour mark, as he got down low to push away Ollie Pearce's free-kick, before neat approach play started with Alex Parsons laying the ball inside to Budd who, in turn, picked out Crane on the left and his nod onto Pearce almost produced the equaliser but the number ten couldn't quite get his header on target.
Academy starlet, Josh Gould went closer still to marking his full debut with a goal, with Bishop having to be alert to tip his curling effort over the bar; drifting across his marker on the edge of the area, once Pearce had played into him.
The next opportunity fell to Ollie seconds later, as he cut in from the left touchline and landed a thirty-yarder on the roof of the net, leaving Bishop a relieved man.
Bang on forty-five minutes, Worthing restored parity. Good skill and persistence paid off for Crane and his subsequent delivery saw Pearce flick it on to an unmarked Aguiar, on the edge of the box and his well-struck, half-volley rocketed into the top corner of the net, via the boot of the unfortunate, Kalvin Morath-Gibbs.
There was still time before the break for Carshalton to cause one or two alarms in The Reds' defence, as Jacob Mendy twice went close to restoring his side's advantage. His first effort being kept out by Perntreou and his second pushed onto the crossbar by the busy netminder.
The Robins didn't mess about in the opening exchanges after the restart, with first-half substitute, Ricky Korboa seeing his shot comfortably held by a falling KP and Ben Cheklit nearly capitalising on a lucky deflection off the heels of Budd; drifting further inside and bending his shot over the angle.
A counter-attacking move, lead by Korboa, again, resulted in Jones conceding a corner, that ultimately, proved fruitless and Korboa tried his luck from distance, with an even less successful outcome than before, a considerable way out from goal.
Ottaway then poked wide, before being usurped by the ever-impressive, Gould.
Pearce commenced the build-up on the left and, when his attempted one-two with Zack Newton didn't quite come off, the ball was laid back by Budd to the "debutant", who proceeded to work it onto his left foot and fire home, low past Bishop, inside the near post, from an inside-right standing, just outside the 'D'.
That could, of course, have been that but, the final ten minutes produced three more goals.
Firstly, Christie Pattison – on for the wonderfully-named Noe Vendrells-Parcerisa – twisted and turned in the penalty area and drilled a perfectly-placed shot in off the far post, for the second equaliser of the night.
Then, a risky pass out from KP, put Edwards in trouble and his miscued clearance was pounced on by Korboa, who got to the byline and crossed for Bradford to score one of the easiest goals of the season.
With their tails up, Pattison had a chance to put the seal on an away win; only to smack a low attempt against the same upright that had earlier been so kind to him, as he watched on in agony and saw the ball rebound back out for a goal-kick.
An end-to-end evening's entertainment was finally settled in added time, when a defensive clearance made it no further than sub, Billy Barker, who headed forward to Edwards and his hooked effort fell perfectly for Jones to tuck home, like a seasoned centre-forward.
