Bangkok: Refugee footballer Hakeem al-Araibi has begged the Australian government to "keep fighting for me" and stop his extradition to Bahrain on what supporters say are politically-motivated charges.
Sixty-three days after arriving in Thailand for a one week honeymoon with his wife, the Melbourne man - who remains in detention pending an extradition request to his birth country - says "I am not good, I am afraid and alone and I miss my wife".
In an interview with The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald inside Bangkok's Remand Prison, Araibi spoke about his hopes of starting a family, his desire for freedom, how he misses his adopted city of Melbourne and his fear he will be tortured if the Thai government allows him to be extradited to Bahrain.
"I don't know why Thailand holds me. Where are my human rights? Why am I here? I am just a footballer, I am young, I don't know why they keep me," he said.
"I have to be strong, I miss my wife, I love her, two years ago we were married. She came to Australia because of me.
"I want to have a family. I am thinking about my wife all the time. I want children, we want children, I am 25 now, maybe when I am 28.
Araibi plays semi-professional soccer for the Pascoe Vale Football Club in Melbourne.
The Australian soccer community, led by former Socceroo Craig Foster, has rallied behind Araibi. The International Olympic Committee and FIFA have also rallied to Araibi's cause, supporting his quest to be released and returned to Australia.
During the short interview, conducted through prison bars in a crowded visitors room, Araibi spoke movingly about his life in Australia.
Araibi was detained by Thai authorities on November 27 after Australian authorities controversially informed their Thai counterparts the refugee footballer was travelling to Thailand and was subject to an Interpol Red Notice.
This occurred despite Araibi checking with Australian authorities before he left the country that he would face no legal risks by leaving the country that had granted him asylum.
The notice was subsequently dropped, but Araibi's nightmare has continued: Bahrain has sought his extradition from Thailand, and has until February 8 to submit its extradition request to the Thai legal system.
Thailand has officially received a request from Bahrain to extradite Araibi.
On Tuesday Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Busadee Santipitaks said Bahrain had filed the request on Monday that has been forwarded to prosecutors for deliberation.
That means the case could be heard again by a Thai court shortly.
Araibi says he was tortured by authorities in Bahrain in 2012. He fled the country in 2014 and Australia has recognised him as a refugee and granted permanent residency. The footballer fears he will be tortured and jailed if he is returned to Bahrain.
Bahrain, in turn, has accused him of vandalising a police station - for which he received a 10-year sentence in absentia.
Araibi has denied that charge, arguing he was playing in a soccer match for his team Al-Shabab, which was broadcast on live TV at the time of the alleged incident.
In 2016, Araibi, a Shia Muslim, accused Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, a Sunni Muslim who is the president of the Asian Football Confederation and a member of Bahrain's royal family, of discriminating against Shia.
Araibi said he believed the other reason Bahrain was seeking his extradition was because of his public criticism of Salman, which came as Salman was bidding to be FIFA president - a bid he lost.
Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network program coordinator Evan Jones, who regularly visits Araibi in jail, said it was clear Araibi was "petrified of being sent back to Bahrain".
"Hakeem's case couldn't be more clear. With just over a week until the official extradition request is due [Bahrain has 60 days to submit its request by February 8], there is absolutely no time to waste. He is a refugee and must be afforded the protection he deserves. It is the Thai government's responsibility to protect his rights and to return Hakeem to Melbourne immediately."
Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne has called on Thailand to release Araibi and allow him to return home, as has former Thai foreign minister Kasit Piromya.

A little about me…& why I do what I do!
My two births were the most incredible days of my life! Both so different, yet both such a positive & powerful experience thanks to the amazing support & preparation Hypnobirthing gave us. My greatest wish is for all women to feel like this after giving birth, even when birth doesn't go to plan (as my first birth certainly didn't!).
Like many women today, before having my own children, I had many fears about birth. Most of these fears had come from other people's 'horror stories' as well as the message society gives us today, that birth is risky and women must be helped or saved from the whole process! But I have always loved natural medicine & believe our bodies have amazing self-healing abilities when given the right environment to thrive. So deep down I could see I truly believed birth was a 'normal' physiological process…and so my research on everything 'birth' began!
I am so grateful that I knew the benefits of independent childbirth education, hiring a doula & having a known midwife during my first pregnancy as together this pulled me through the intensity of a hospital induction back labour with only gas & air! I then discovered the Hypnobirthing AustraliaTM program during my second pregnancy & was completely blown away by the results. Listening to the self-hypnosis tracks each night before bed in my third trimester completely put my mind at ease. Then during my surges, the breathing & visualisation techniques were so effective that I did not experience any 'pain' at all until transition…my midwife almost missed the birth!
How different this experience was to my first & I know it absolutely was the knowledge, tools, support & preparation that this Hypnobirthing course gave me. Educating women so they too can face their fears & step into their power during pregnancy & birth is what fires me up most in life, and I am so honoured & excited to be sharing this program with others!
I graduated from RMIT University (Melbourne) in 2009, where I achieved a Bachelor of Applied Science with distinction, majoring in both Chinese Medicine and Human Biology.
In my final year at University, I travelled to China where I completed a Clinical Internship at the Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Nanjing). Here I had the invaluable opportunity of working with specialists in Acupuncture, Gynecology, Fertility, Dermatology, & Gastrointestinal medicine.
I am a registered Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia, and I am also a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).
I am also currently undertaking a 3 year postgraduate in Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine with the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine. This system is by far the best I have found to accurately diagnose & prescribe with Chinese Herbs and I am so grateful & excited to see the wonderful benefits for my clients.


Interestingly, there is no mention of capital gains under these rules, so it appears that capital gains do not affect tax credit claims. However, in some limited circumstances where the Income Tax rules treat capital as income, and tax it as such, this income needs to be included under the heading of 'notional income'. HMRC's guidance explains that this can happen if, for example, you hold shares in a UK company and the company gives you a stock dividend (new shares) instead of a cash dividend.

Investing in physical silver
The two principal divisions of the New York Mercantile Exchange are the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the Commodity Exchange (COMEX). Earlier, they were two separately owned exchanges. Today, they are both owned and operated by the CME Group of Chicago.
NYMEX and COMEX are located in the same building at One North End Avenue in Manhattan, New York City, USA. Additional offices are found in Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco and Washington in the US, as well as in Dubai, London and Tokyo abroad.

Comex warehouse gold
Comex is the world's largest gold exchange by volume.
Actual physical gold bullions is held in Comex approved warehouses. That is because Comex operates a physical gold market where traders can be obliged to make and take delivery. Comex also facilitate off-exchange trading for investors, miners and refiners.
The gold in Comex approved warehouses is gold bars that have been made according to specifications set by the CME Group. The gold is owned by refiners or by refiner's customers. Refining companies create gold bars, e.g. from mine output and by melting down scrap jewellery and coins. Examples of refiners that deliver gold bars to the Comex warehouses are Metalor Technologies, Johnson Matthey, and Heraeus.
Only Comex-approved gold bars are eligible for the settlement of gold futures contracts traded on Comex. When Comex-approved gold bars are registered, warehouse receipts are created and the gold bars become registered gold stocks. When a golf futures contract stipulate delivery rather than cash settlement at the end of the contract, delivery will take place by letting the trader take delivery of the warehouse receipt. Ownership of the gold is transferred by delivery of the warehouse receipt. The receipt is a bearer instrument.
If the receipt holder wishes to take physical delivery of the gold that can be arranged, but it is not a quick process. If the gold bars are removed from the Comex-controlled circuit, they are no longer eligible for the settlement of gold futures contracts traded on Comex.
Most traders do not take physical delivery of the gold. In fact, most traders don't even take physical delivery of the receipt – they leave it with their broker instead.
Trading futures contracts for metal at Comex
Futures contracts for gold, silver, copper or aluminium are traded at Comex. These contracts are agreements to deliver a specified amount and grade of the metal at a specified time, and receive a pre-specified price.
The market for metal futures contracts at Comex is highly liquid, in part due to the widespread use of leverage (margin accounts). Liquidity provided by speculators make it possible for companies in the metal industry – such as miners, refiners and retailers – to manage risk and at least partly protect themselves from the volatility of the metal price.
It is very common for commodity futures contract positions to be closed prior to the delivery date. This means that no delivery will take place.
About the New York Mercantile Exchange
Early history of NYMEX
In 1872, a group of Manhattan-based dairy merchants founded The Butter and Cheese Exchange of New York. Soon, eggs were listed as well, and the name of the exchange was consequently changed to The Butter, Cheese and Egg Exchange. When poultry, dried fruit and canned goods were added in 1882, simply extending the name of the exchange was deemed to cumbersome and the exchange was instead renamed The New York Mercantile Exchange.
Early history of COMEX
COMEX was created in 1933 by the merger of four commodity exchanges: The New York Hide Exchange, The Rubber Exchange of New York, The National Metal Exchange and The National Raw Silk Exchange.
NYMEX-COMEX merger
Starting in the 1970s, COMEX and NYMEX shared a trading floor in 4 World Trade Center in New York. NYMEX was considerably smaller than COMEX, and was also suffering from a tarnished reputation after the 1970s potato scandal.
When COMEX energy trading took off, COMEX began to grow rapidly and eventually became both larger and wealthier than NYMEX.
On August 3, 1994, NYMEX and COMEX merged under the NYMEX name.
In the early 2000s, NYMEX – still relying on the open outcry method of trading – started losing business to electronically based exchanges such as Jeff Sprecher's Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Enron's own online-based energy trading system. For instance, NYMEX had long held almost a monopoly on exchange-traded oil futures, but was now losing market shares to ICE who had created oil contracts that were very similar to those listed on NYMEX.
To remain competitive, NYMEX teamed up with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to use Globex from 2006 and onwards. Banks, hedge funds and big commodity companies preferred the efficiency of Globex, and the traditional NYMEX trading pit fell into decay. It was closed for good on December 30, 2016.
In 2006, NYMEX underwent its initial public offering (IPO) and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Parts of NYMEX was sold to private equity investors, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) became the owner of NYMEX's physical facilities.
In 2008, the CME Group acquired NYMEX Holdings Inc for $11.2 billions in cash and stock.
At the time of writing, CME Group operates four designated contract markets (DCM):
The Chicago Board of Trade

Invest in silver

Pronto by Summary
"Speedy, exhilarating, and smooth. Nobody does it better." —Washington Post "The man knows how to grab you—and Pronto is one of the best grabbers in years." —Entertainment Weekly Fans of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified are in for a major treat. The unstoppable manhunter with the very itchy trigger finger stars in Pronto, a crime fiction gem from the one and only Elmore Leonard, "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" (New York Times Book Review). The Grand Master justifies the overwhelming acclaim he has received over the course of his remarkable career with an electrifying thriller that sends the indomitable Raylan racing to Italy on the trail of a fugitive bookie who's hiding from the vengeful Miami mob. The legendary Leonard, whom the Seattle Times lauds as the "King Daddy of crime writers," proves that all comparisons to American noir icons John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain are well deserved with this tale of very dirty doings and extremely dangerous men coming together in the birthplace of Puccini, Garibaldi, and La Cosa Nostra.
Author: Elmore Leonard
Swag by Elmore Leonard Summary
The smallest of small-time criminals, Ernest Stickley Jr. figures his luck's about to change when Detroit used car salesman Frank Ryan catches him trying to boost a ride from Ryan's lot. Frank's got some surefire schemes for getting rich quick—all of them involving guns—and all Stickley has to do is follow "Ryan's Rules" to share the wealth. But sometimes rules need to be bent, maybe even broken, if one is to succeed in the world of crime, especially if the "brains" of the operation knows less than nothing.
Glitz by Elmore Leonard Summary
"Intense….A higher caliber of entertainment." —New York Times Elmore Leonard's Glitz is a killer…in the best possible way. "The King Daddy of crime writers" (Seattle Times) electrifies with this unputdownable noir tale of a mama's boy psycho killer with a vendetta against a Miami cop. A cat-and-mouse tale with claws, Glitz is thrilling, frightening, explosive, surprising, everything a great thriller is supposed to be—superior crime fiction the genre's late greats, John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, et al, would have been proud to call their own. Elmore Leonard, the creator of magnificent mayhem and truly unforgettable characters—like U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified—is at his nail-biting, page-turning best with Glitz which Stephen King in the New York Times Book Review calls, "Smashing and satisfying."
City Primeval
City Primeval by Elmore Leonard Summary
"As gritty and hard-driving a thriller as you'll find….The action never stops, the language sings and stings." —Washington Post The City Primeval in Elmore Leonard's relentlessly gripping classic noir is Detroit, the author's much-maligned hometown and the setting for many of the Grand Master's acclaimed crime novels. The "Alexander the Great of crime fiction" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) shines in these urban mean streets, setting up a downtown showdown between the psychopathic, thrill-killing "Oklahoma Wildman" and the dedicated city copy who's determined to take him down. The creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV's Justified fame, Elmore Leonard is the equal of any writer who has ever captivated readers with dark tales of heists, hijacks, double-crosses, and murder—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker included—and nobody then or now is better.
Raylan
Raylan by Elmore Leonard Summary
"Elmore Leonard can write circles around almost anybody active in the crime novel today." —New York Times Book Review With more than forty novels to his credit and still going strong, the legendary Elmore Leonard has well earned the title, "America's greatest crime writer" (Newsweek). And U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Pronto, Riding the Rap, Fire in the Hole) is one of Leonard's most popular creations, thanks in part to the phenomenal success of the hit TV series "Justified." Leonard's Raylan shines a spotlight once again on the dedicated, if somewhat trigger-happy lawman, this time in his familiar but not particularly cozy milieu of Harlan County, Kentucky, where the drug dealing Crowe brothers are branching out into the human body parts business. Suspenseful, darkly wry and riveting, and crackling with Leonard's trademark electric dialogue, Raylan is prime Grand Master Leonard as you have always loved him and always will.
When the Women Come Out to Dance
When the Women Come Out to Dance by Elmore Leonard Summary
The unrivaled master of crime's first collection of noir stories. . . . "If you thought you knew all the places Elmore Leonard could take you, think again."—Mike Lupica In more than 30 books spanning half a century, Elmore Leonard has captured the imagination of millions as few writers can. A literary icon praised by the New York Times Book Review as "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever, " he has influenced many contemporary writers and is known for both the quality and accessibility of his writing. In this first collection of short pieces, including two novella-length works, since his western anthology Tonto Woman, Leonard demonstrates the superb characterization, dead-on dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and driving plotting that have made him a household name.
Forty Lashes Less One
Forty Lashes Less One by Elmore Leonard Summary
The hell called Yuma Prison can destroy the soul of any man. And it's worse for those whose damning crime is the color of their skin. The law says Chiricahua Apache Raymond San Carlos and black-as-night former soldier Harold Jackson are murderers, and they'll stay behind bars until they're dead and rotting. But even in the worst place on Earth, there's hope. And for two hard and hated inmates -- first enemies, then allies by necessity -- it waits at the end of a mad and violent contest ... on a bloody trail that winds toward Arizona's five most dangerous men.
Killshot
Killshot by Elmore Leonard Summary
"[Leonard has] written so many first-rate crime stories that it would be fatuous to say Killshot is his best, but it probably is anyway." —Newsweek The New York Times bestselling author the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette once called, "the Alexander the Great of crime fiction," Elmore Leonard is responsible for creating some of the sharpest dialogue, most compelling characters (including U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV's Justified fame), and, quite simply, some of the very best suspense novels written over the past century. Killshot is prime Leonard—a riveting story of a husband and wife caught in the crossfire when they foil a criminal act and are forced to defend themselves when the legal system fails them from the murderous wrath of a pair of vengeful killers. When it comes to cops and criminals stories, Killshot and Leonard are as good as it gets—further proof why "the King Daddy of crime writers" (Seattle Times) deserves his current place among John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and the other legendary greats of the noir fiction genre.
The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard
The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard by Elmore Leonard Summary

Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard Summary
"A Hollywood hit….Taut, inimitable prose and characters who could have only sprung from the mind of Elmore Leonard." —Detroit News The Chicago Tribune has dubbed Elmore Leonard, "the coolest, hottest writer in America." In the same league as the legendary great ones—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain—the "King Daddy of crime writers" (Seattle Times) demonstrates his remarkable mastery with Get Shorty, one of the most adored of his forty-plus novels. The basis of the hit movie starring John Travolta and Danny DeVito, Get Shorty chronicles the over-the-top, sometimes violent Hollywood misadventures of a Florida mob loan shark who chases a deadbeat client all the way to Tinseltown and decides to stick around and make movies. Get Shorty's shylock protagonist, Chili Palmer, is a truly inspired creation—as memorable as another unforgettable Leonard hero, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified—and readers will relish his moves and countermoves in this electrifying, funny, bullet train-paced winner from "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!" (New York Times Book Review)
Three-Ten to Yuma and Other Stories
Three-Ten to Yuma and Other Stories by Elmore Leonard Summary
Trust was rare and precious in the wide-open towns that sprung up like weeds on America's frontier—with hustlers and hucksters arriving in droves by horse, coach, wagon, and rail, and gunmen working both sides of the law, all too eager to end a man's life with a well-placed bullet. The New York Times-bestselling Grand Master of suspense deftly displays the other side of his genius, with seven classic western tales of destiny and fatal decision . . . and trust as essential to survival as it is hard-earned.
Fire in the Hole by Elmore Leonard Summary
In this superb short fiction collection, Elmore Leonard, "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" (New York Times Book Review), once again illustrates how the line between the law and the lawbreakers is not as firm as we might think. In the title story, the basis for the hit FX series Justified, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from Out of Sight, returns in "Karen Makes Out," once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. These nine stories are the great Elmore Leonard at his vivid, hilarious, and unfailingly human best.

Pagan Babies
Pagan Babies by Elmore Leonard Summary
Pagan Babies is classic crime fiction from the master of suspense, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard. Father Terry Dunn thought he'd seen everything on the mean streets of Detroit, but that was before he went on a little retreat to Rwanda to evade a tax-fraud indictment. Now the whiskey-drinking, Nine Inch Nails T-shirt-wearing padre is back trying to hustle up a score to help the little orphans of Rwanda. But the fund-raising gets complicated when a former tattletale cohort pops up on Terry's tail. And then there's the lovely Debbie Dewey. A freshly sprung ex-con turned stand-up comic, Debbie needs some fast cash, too, to settle an old score. Now they're in together for a bigger payoff than either could finagle alone. After all, it makes sense...unless Father Terry is working a con of his own.

Hombre by Elmore Leonard Summary
"Although known for his mysteries, Elmore Leonard has penned some of the best western fiction ever." —USA Today Grand Master Elmore Leonard is justifiably acknowledged as one of the very best crime fiction writers ever, alongside other all-time greats like John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker. But he has also many acclaimed masterworks of American western fiction to his credit—including Hombre, the basis for the classic Hollywood motion picture starring Paul Newman. Set in Arizona mining country, Hombre is the tale of a white man raised by Indians, who must come to the aid of people who hate him when their stagecoach is attacked by outlaws. As thrilling as his contemporary novels of crime, double-cross, and murder in Detroit and Miami, Hombre is Elmore Leonard at his riveting best—no less than one would expect from the creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Justified).

The carrier, which claims to be the world's seventh largest provider of IoT devices, is partnering with Ericsson on the deployment. Sprint said the LTE Cat 1 network will support low-power applications such as telematics and industrial IoT applications.
That investment will see the carrier move from LTE Cat 1 to LTE Cat M technology, which limits throughputs in the name of better battery life, beginning in mid-2018, and onto LTE Cat NB1, also known as narrowband LTE. The advanced technologies are targeted at industrial sensors, asset tracking, and wearables.
Despite the new emphasis on its LTE network, Sprint said all of its current connections run across its legacy CDMA 3G network, which the carrier plans to continue to support through 2023.
Sprint has linked its recent control and user plane separation for packet optimization (C3PO) initiative in support of its IoT plans. C3PO is being open-sourced.
Plenty of others are working on IoT open source projects, as well. The Linux Foundation last month launched its EdgeX Foundry open source group with a focus on standardizing industrial IoT edge computing.
Nearly 50 companies, including Dell, Cumulocity, and VMware, have joined EdgeX Foundry as initial members. The group's software and products include a marketplace, offering interoperable IoT components designed to run on any hardware or operating system, and with any combination of application environments.
Sprint is the latest domestic operator to announce IoT network plans, following recent moves by Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile US.
Verizon in late March said it had launched LTE Cat-M support across more than 2.4 million square miles of its network. The service ties into the carrier's ThingSpace IoT Platform and ThingsSpace client.
AT&T has said it is on track to launch LTE-M services in the U.S. by mid-year, and in Mexico by the end of the year. The carrier began trialing the service late last year in San Francisco.
At this year's Mobile World Congress event, T-Mobile US CTO Neville Ray said the operator will be deploying narrowband LTE (NB-LTE), but did not give a timeline for that deployment.
Analyst firm ABI has predicted that CAT-M technology will see strong growth beginning in 2018 as network operators become more aggressive in their deployments. However, non-cellular low-power wide area networks (LPWAN) like Ingenu and Sigfox are expected to outnumber cellular networks in terms of connections by more than 12 percent by 2021.
Others echoed the sentiment, noting the initial cost advantage of non-cellular networks is likely to dissipate as cellular operators move on their deployments.

An Author Meets His Subject
Guest post by Jeffrey B. Lilley, author of Have the Mountains Fallen?.
In September 2007, I met Chingiz Aitmatov, a man whose life and work I would spend the next 10 years studying and writing about. I couldn't have expected then how much of my life he would become, so much that I resigned my job and worked 18 months without income to finish Have the Mountains Fallen?, a joint biography of Aitmatov and Kyrgyz journalist and exile Azamat Altay that was eventually published in early 2018 by Indiana University Press.
Aitmatov is one of the most famous writers Americans don't know about—except perhaps those Americans who were reading IU Press's publications in the 1980s, when they may have encountered a translation of Aitmatov's most famous book, The Day Lasts Longer than a Century. In that book, Aitmatov, whose works were translated into 160 languages, popularized the term mankurt for a person who forgets where he is from, is ignorant of history and therefore becomes a tool in the hands of others—basically a slave.
Part Kyrgyz and part Tatar, born and raised in Soviet Kyrgyzia, a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, Aitmatov was keenly aware of where he was from. His life was a constant struggle to not become a tool of anyone or anything.
When I met the 79-year old Aitmatov in independent Kyrgyzstan in 2007, he was staying in a cottage at the government dacha compound on Lake Issyk Kul, a collection of Soviet-era rest houses connected by cement pathways and shaded by pine and birch trees. Though a bit worse for wear after years of use by Kyrgyzstan's officialdom, the Soviet-era compound on the north shore of the lake was still a quiet hideaway.
Across the way stood the cottage where Aitmatov had written The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years. Down a pathway, the gentle roll of waves lapped against the shore, and the Tian Shan Mountains rose in the background. In his younger days, Aitmatov used to take nightly swims in the lake. His strokes would take him offshore into the black of night, out of sight of nervous family members who waited in silence on the shore. The swims afforded him time alone in his hectic life—a separate peace of sorts—and he would return full of energy and refreshed. But in the new millennium, those swims had become a thing of the past for the 78-year old Aitmatov.
On the phone earlier that week, Aitmatov had been welcoming, inviting me to spend time with him at the dacha compound, and he was solicitous in person, asking about my visit to his home village. "You are the first American journalist to visit Sheker, he remarked shortly after we shook hands. "Did they receive you well?" Then he settled into a chair. Despite this warm welcome, he seemed exhausted, and his heavily lidded eyes opened and shut during our hour-long talk. Suitcases were open around the cottage, indicating a temporary stay. A bottle of Lipitor nearby was a reminder of the writer's health concerns, and during our conversation, he nodded off several times. The interview became more of a lopsided exchange between generations: the aging writer sharing his thoughts with a curious American shaped by the Cold War.
Aitmatov spoke of writing being his spiritual life, and of religious extremism gripping the world. Three years on, he was still troubled by the tragedy at Beslan in southern Russia in 2004 when Chechen terrorists seized an elementary school and took hundreds of young children hostage. Many inside the red-brick school building died during the ensuing shootout between the Chechens and Russian law enforcement. Pictures of bloody, half-clothed children being rescued from their smoldering school shocked the world in a way that has become too familiar of late.
In a deep, slow voice, Aitmatov spoke of his role in pushing forward perestroika in the Soviet Union as a top advisor to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. "I consider that fate put me in this position," he said, by way of explanation. "I did as I could to answer to the contemporary challenges. I understood that the issue was how to get out of totalitarianism to democracy. And that's a long process. We need another hundred years to travel this path, to comprehend. In this is the essence of human life and all history: there's nothing simple to understand."
Learn more about Jeffrey B. Lilley's latest book:
After witnessing the collapse of the Soviet Union as a journalist in the 1990s, Jeffrey B. Lilley moved to Central Asia in 2004. During a three-year posting in Kyrgyzstan, he read the works of Chinghiz Aitmatov, slept in yurts, drank fermented mare's milk, and hiked in the country's beautiful mountains. Over the next ten years, he worked in the field of democracy and governance support in Washington, DC, and the Middle East, returning to Kyrgyzstan in 2016 to lead a British-funded parliamentary support program. Lilley is an author (with James R. Lilley) of China Hands: Nine Decades of Adventure, Espionage and Diplomacy and Have the Mountains Fallen? Two Journeys of Loss and Redemption in the Cold War.

Reflecting on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with Transition Magazine
Today marks the 54th anniversary of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 - the landmark civil rights and US labor law in the United States that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin and prohibited unequal application of voter registration requirements, racial segregation in schools, employment, and public accommodations.
In honor of this historic event and current trends, we invite you to explore Transition Magazine's 1972 conversation with James Baldwin, and a discussion of more than five decades of black action in St. Louis, from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter.
James Baldwin, A Transition Interview / James Baldwin, 1963, and the House that Race Built
Although the activism of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X continues to receive the most attention, Fredrick Harris argues that James Baldwin is better situated to explain why black Americans continue to be pressed to the margins of American society.
Generations of Struggle
History tells us that it takes, and that it will take, generations of striving, organizing, and mobilizing to fight for the kind of world that we want to see. And these distinct generational approaches play out in all of your work within the black liberation movement. The following excerpt is taken from a panel discussion at Harvard University on December 3, 2015 organized by The Charles Warren Center with support from the Hiphop Archive and Research Institute. Moderated by Professor Elizabeth Hinton, panelists Percy Green II, Robin D. G. Kelley, Tef Poe, George Lipsitz, and Jamala Rogers examine the achievements and challenges of more than five decades of black activism in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Problem of Citizenship, the Question of Crime, and the Origins of the Civil Rights Movement
Exploring the statistical link between blackness and criminality, Michael Ralph reviews Khalil Gibran Muhammad's Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America (2011).
"Hammering at the Truth"
The Civil Rights Era: Origins and Development of National Policy, 1960-1972 by Hugh Davis Graham. Reviewed by Robert C. Smith.
Transition is a unique forum for the freshest, most compelling ideas from and about the black world. Since its founding in Uganda in 1961, the magazine has kept apace of the rapid transformation of the African Diaspora and has remained a leading forum of intellectual debate. Transition is a publication of the Hutchins Center at Harvard University, edited by Alejandro de la Fuente.

Exploring Documentaries on the Civil Rights Movement with Black Camera and the BFC/A
In honor of this historic event, we invite you to explore Indiana University's Black Film Center / Archive, courtesy of Black Camera, the international film journal from IU's Media School.
BFC/A Documentaries on the Civil Rights and Black Nationalist Movements
The exploration and research of black history, the study of the documentary genre, and the use of film as teaching aids (for Indiana University faculty) are just some of the contributions made by documentaries in the BFC/A collections. Spanning from the 1890s to the present day, our documentaries tell countless stories about the black experience. Because the Civil Rights and Black Nationalist movements of the mid-20th century are pivotal areas of study in the field of black history and are the subjects of frequent requests, we have compiled the following list of documentaries in the BFC/A collections that explain aspects of these movements.
The Rosa Parks Story: The Making of a Civil Rights Icon
The Rosa Parks Story (2002) belongs to the wave of civil rights films that emerged in the 1980s and was dedicated to recounting the fight for desegregation in the southern states. Rosa Parks quickly became an icon of collective resistance by famously refusing to forfeit her seat to a white passenger on board a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. In this made-for-television biopic, director Julie Dash strives to retrace Rosa Parks's personal and political journey to emancipation. This article considers the constraints the director had to negotiate while recounting the story of a national icon for television. Not only did the weight of legacy bear on the project, but so did the conventions of the biopic as a genre that stresses the personal rather than the political. The historical narrative of the civil rights movement is simplified into a story that reproduces stereotypes popularized by both race melodramas and mainstream media.
Civil Rights, Labor, and Sexual Politics on Screen in Nothing But a Man (1964)
The independently made 1964 film Nothing But a Man is one of a handful of films whose production coincided with new civil rights insurgency and benefited from activists' input. This essay argues that the film's unusual attention to labor and gender politics as key elements both of racial subordination and liberation resulted from an unusual and productive, though not egalitarian, collaboration across racial lines. The white and Jewish filmmakers recognized the black freedom struggle in the U.S. South as part of World War II–era mobilizations against fascism and postwar challenges to colonialism around the world.
Black Camera is a journal of black film studies and engenders an academic discussion of black film production, including historical and contemporary book and film reviews, interviews with accomplished film professionals, and editorials on the development of black creative culture.

The Musical Component of Activism and Social Change
This year is turning out to be a year of protest amidst heightened social tensions – established groups like Black Lives Matter and new movements like the recent March for Our Lives rallies are pushing for transformational change in ways not seen since the Summer of 1968. As it was then, social and political messages can proliferate through music, expanding a movement's reach in ways not always immediately clear.
In a recent interview with NPR, Common – rapper, actor, and member of socially conscious supergroup, August Greene – describes the role of music in activism, "When the times get rough a lot of art inspires people, it brings people together, it brings awareness. And that's why we had some of the powerful music from the 60s." This spirit continues today, evidenced by chants from popular music repurposed as anthems for modern movements – see "We gon' be alright," from Kendrick Lamar's 2015 song "Alright," and others embraced by BLM groups across the country.
Music can be described as a common-denominator form of communication – accessible and understood by nearly everyone with the potential to unite people around an idea. This understanding can put greater responsibility on artists to use their platform to create change. When asked why he writes protest music Common answered, "You see what's going on in the world, and it's like, I feel as an artist the responsibility to say something to what's going on. And especially because throughout the journey I've seen how much music influences human beings and it inspires and can help change lives. I don't sit there and be like 'I have to write a protest song,' but if it's on my heart and I see things going on in the world, I'm just going to write it...Let me speak on what I see and what I feel."
How does the role of music in the Black Lives Matter movement contribute to public awareness of the social, economic, political, scientific, and other forms of injustices in our society? In the forthcoming book, Black Lives Matter and Music: Protest, Intervention, Reflection, editors Fernando Orejuela and Stephanie Shonekan bring together scholars who feel a responsibility to connect people inside and outside of academia, while advocating for social and political change in minority communities. Drawn from ethnographic research and personal experiences, contributors aim to facilitate a discussion on scholarly research of, approaches to, and teaching about the role of music in social change through Black Lives Matter. Each chapter focuses on a particular case study, with the goal to inspire and facilitate productive conversations among scholars, students, and the communities studied.
From nuanced snapshots of how African American musical genres have flourished in different cities and the role of these genres in local activism, to explorations of musical pedagogy on the American college campus, readers will be challenged to think of how activism and social justice work might appear in American higher education and in academic research. Black Lives Matter and Music provokes us to examine how we teach, how we conduct research, and ultimately, how we should think about the ways that black struggle, liberation, and identity have evolved in the United States and around the world.

Enter to win a copy of 'Happily Ever After'
"Find your one true love and live happily ever after." The trials of love and desire provide perennial story material, from the Biblical Song of Songs to Disney's princesses, but perhaps most provocatively in the romance novel, a genre known for tales of fantasy and desire, sex and pleasure. Hailed on the one hand for its women-centered stories that can be sexually liberating, and criticized on the other for its emphasis on male/female coupling and mythical happy endings, romance fiction is a multi-million dollar publishing phenomenon, creating national and international societies of enthusiasts, practitioners, and scholars. Catherine M. Roach, alongside her romance-writer alter-ego, Catherine LaRoche, guides the reader deep into Romancelandia where the smart and the witty combine with the sexy and seductive to explore why this genre has such a grip on readers and what we can learn from the romance novel about the nature of happiness, love, sex, and desire in American popular culture.
Fill out the form below by April 21 for your chance to win a copy of Happily Ever After. And while you're waiting to see if you're the winner, check out this podcast with author Catherine Roach about her book.

Research analysts at investment banks, like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, spend considerable time working on research reports. Most of them release their findings to their customers outside market hours. The clients, including investment firms and mutual funds, will come to the office in the morning, sift through the information and decide whether or not it is important enough information to warrant a trade. In his paper titled The Value of Client Access to Analyst Recommendations, T. Clifton Green, assistant professor of finance at Emory University's Goizueta Business School asks, and subsequently answers, the question: Does this short-lived informational advantage provide clients with investment value?

Q: Angular + Material - How to handle multiple checkboxes with formgroup I have a list of interests i am getting from the backend. I want a user to be able to select the interests they want. I will store only the interests they checked in the DB and pre-populate when they load the page. But first i need to get these interests the user has selected.
interest.component.ts
export class InterestsComponent implements OnInit {

  interestFormGroup : FormGroup
  interests:any;
  selected: any;

  constructor(public interestService: InterestService, private formBuilder: FormBuilder,
  ) { }

  ngOnInit() {

    this.interestFormGroup = this.formBuilder.group({
      interests: this.formBuilder.array([])
    });

    this.interestService.all().subscribe((res) => {

      this.interests = res;

    });

  }

  change() {
    console.log(this.interestFormGroup.value);
  }

}

interest.component.html

        <form [formGroup]="interestFormGroup">

                <mat-checkbox class="example-margin" formNameArray="interests" (change)="change()">{{interest}}</mat-checkbox>

        </form>

In my console.log on the change event it shows there is no values being added to the interests array within the interestFormGroup. Even tho the checkboxes are checked.

A: You should add controls to FormArray manually like:
this.interests = res;
const formArray = this.interestFormGroup.get('interests') as FormArray;
this.interests.forEach(x => formArray.push(new FormControl(false)));

then change template as follows:
<form [formGroup]="interestFormGroup" (ngSubmit)="submit()">
   <ng-container formArrayName="interests">

         <mat-checkbox class="example-margin" [formControlName]="i">
           {{interest}}
         </mat-checkbox>

   </ng-container>
   <button>Submit</button>
</form>

And when you will submit form you need to transform FormArray values to your desired result:
submit() {
  const result = Object.assign({},
    this.interestFormGroup.value, {
      interests: this.interests
        .filter((x, i) => !!this.interestFormGroup.value.interests[i])});

  console.log(result);
}

Alternative solution is listen change event and manually add and remove value to FormArray:

   <mat-checkbox class="example-margin"
                (change)="onChange($event)" [value]="interest">{{interest}}</mat-checkbox>

onChange(event) {
  const interests = <FormArray>this.interestFormGroup.get('interests') as FormArray;

  if(event.checked) {
    interests.push(new FormControl(event.source.value))
  } else {
    const i = interests.controls.findIndex(x => x.value === event.source.value);
    interests.removeAt(i);
  }
}

Armie Hammer Apologizes for His Controversial Stan Lee Comments
by Ana Dumaraog
– on Nov 16, 2018
in Movie News
Armie Hammer apologizes for his recent social media outburst chastising those who post pictures of themselves with the late Stan Lee following the Marvel Comics co-creator's death. The prolific comic book writer died at the age of 95 due to a series of recent health issues leaving behind a lasting legacy that forever shaped the entertainment industry. But while most reactions upon learning about his passing are a mixture of sadness and gratefulness, Hammer's initial reaction created quite a stir.
Shortly after Lee's death earlier this week and amidst the outpouring support on social media for the writer, Hammer posted a scathing comment on his Twitter, criticizing people who posted photos of themselves with the legend, calling it nothing but a way to self-promote. He soon received public backlash following his tone-deaf comments, forcing him to eventually take down the tweet. Now, the actor is addressing the controversy, publicly apologizing for his so-called "unnecessary social commentary about the selfie culture."

Taking it to his official Twitter account, the Call Me By Your Name star is apologizing for his controversial comments shortly after Lee died. Acknowledging the error of his ways, Hammer sought forgiveness from those he "inadvertently offended many who were genuinely grieving the loss of a true icon." He also promised that he "will be working on my Twitter impulse control." Comments on his update are mostly positive - lauding his move to own up to his mistake. However, a few ones were skeptical of his statement, saying it's written by his publicist. Check out his tweet below:
Hammer's apology also included a shoutout to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who called him out for his insensitive comments. The Walking Dead actor criticized Hammer for his unnecessary outburst on social media and accused him of taking away the spotlight on Lee similar to how he chastised other stars for supposedly doing the same by posting images of them with the late comic book writer. Like Hammer's original tweet, however, Morgan's post has been taken down, although screenshots of it remain online.
While Hammer had a point with regard to his criticism of selfies, he couldn't have picked a worse time to raise the issue than during the immediate aftermath of Lee's death - at a time where everyone was understandably digging anything that links them to the icon. While a majority of the public can only resort to stories and characters that Lee created over the years as the only things that link them to him, there are a handful of fortunate people who were able to meet him during his public appearances, and of course, those in the industry who have had the privilege of working with him.
That said, considering Stan Lee's demeanor, chances are that he would just laugh it all off and accept Hammer's apology, and there's no better way to honor his legacy than to also do the same.
