How The Election of Trump Made My Life Easier

Thu Dec 01, 2016 at 03:30:29 AM EST
I might be one of a select few who didn't vote for Donald but would have to say Trump's election made my life easier...I might even stretch it and use the word "better." I gleaned this idea from a local leader of the Democratic Party. He is well versed on politics and media, having been in the industry. He is now a retail owner and dared not place a Hillary sign in front of his place of business. He knew it would cost him customers.
On the other side, one local diner, located across from the court house, changed its name to "Trump Café." This was done shortly before the election and drew the interest of regional newscasts who found the sign and owners intriguing. The name did not harm business, only strengthened it. The diner was host to the Trump election night victory party. There was only one Hillary sign in the entire region that I saw. A brave soul down the street, who is a retired Episcopal Priest and has a pony tail had it displayed.
In our county at least %85 of the residents believed if Mrs. Clinton was elected she would take away our guns. Probably %15 thought she would take away our Bibles. The common consensus was that she was opposed to Christianity. I was an election judge for the Democratic Party and often observed looks of shock that I was willing to identify myself with such a band. The gun-toting GOP granny I worked with assured me that if Clinton won she would destroy the nation. She was not speaking figuratively. Her and the husband both carry loaded weapons around with them in the car and stage them in the home. I replied at this information that she must have the open carry permit. She quickly assured me that was not the case since she would never allow the government to register her gun. (I since found out this is not the case in the open carry permit.) She feared the next step was concealing the weapon. I am sure she looked with distain upon someone like myself and her former Episcopal priest who were part of a movement to destroy her America.
The local business leader who is still a Democratic party holdout shared some valuable insight in the results of the election. He said that at least now we can see an ease to the conspiracy theories and open hostility to his political views. The regional volatile fear of government was trending toward more than just rhetoric. A policeman's wife assured me that the U.S. Marshals had tried to get local sheriff deputies to sign on that when time came to confiscate weapons, the deputies would be on board. These law enforcement officials refused the Obama Administration's attempt citing Second Amendment Constitutional rights. Of course the story is more myth and misunderstanding than historical fact.
As my friend stated, now they own it all, Congress, Senate and Executive. No longer will they be able to blame Hillary Clinton for increases in social unrest, healthcare, taxes and the fact that she caused Bill Buckner to allow the ball to pass between his legs and the Red Sox lost the World Series. No longer can many of them blame their anxieties and community problems on the Black President.
Serving many years in a church as minister, I look back at having to deal with the rumors and fantasies many of my members held. I recall an active family who served in many capacities in the fellowship. I noted the husband lost interest in church and was noticeably unhappy and depressed. His wife told me this all started from his listening to the radio station he followed. In Houston, the local nearest media outlet, taxis carried signs that read, "Feel Depressed, Listen to Hannity and Limbaugh." These two personalities as much as anyone played a major part in the shaping of reality as viewed by local residents. To some, I assume, the fact that their minister or pastor was part of some conspiracy to destroy capitalism and banish God from the public square was troubling.
I often found myself trying to put out fires regarding these issues. One time I discovered some of my church leaders were reading a book claiming Hillary was involved in a secret lesbian plot with Janet Reno to destroy Christianity. Our own local congressman adhered to some of these theories. Another time a deacon was reading Rick Scarborough's book, Enough is Enough. I borrowed his copy and you can see where I gleaned much of the resources for writing on this sight. It fell into my lap from local media, church members and mailings. I grew tired of going to local Baptist ministers conferences and trying to assure the fellows there they would not be jailed for refusing to preform a gay marriage. The last thing I did was host a conference for pastors to support public education. Believe it or not, that was considered controversial by a group filled with home schoolers and anti- government types.
Obama's first election brought with it new fears. I was disappointed in my senior citizen lay leaders who were solid people, but were convinced Obama wanted them to die off and refuse them their rightly earned Medicare. The other church I served as pastor was in Mississippi. If the congregating found out I voted for a Black President I could not have stayed there. My life would probably would have been threatened in that day.
My current Bible study class in my retirement church is another case in point. There was a frenzied time of anguish just before the election. There was a consensus that the election would be about rejecting or accepting God in the nation. I overheard statements that if Hillary were elected a couple of the Amendments to the Constitution were done for. I visited with one concerned member who was a retired businessman. He expressed concerns about the nation. I reminded him that I personally knew several small business people and all of them had made more money in the last eight years than ever before in their lives. Still the fears existed.
I recall the well documented stories like the one in Alabama. Paper industry corporations convinced the local populace to vote down a tax proposal that would have eased the burden on the middle and lower class and forced the corporations to pay their fair share. Media ads convinced voters there to vote against their own best interest, which was noteworthy. Again this story was repeated by the event in the state of Kansas. Wealthy suburban donors convinced the state's middle class to vote against their own best interest as recorded in Thomas Frank's, What's the Matter with Kansas.
The fact that Betsy Devos will become Secretary of Education does not seem to register with school officials I have spoken to. Most do not have a clue to what is going on. I guess we might remind ourselves the Religious Right placed Bill Bennet, an addicted gambler who stated public education is finished in America, as its Secretary. Bill has come and gone, but public education still attracts over %85 of the nation's students. Does the nation really understand that our Secretary of Education does not back the idea of the University of Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, and etc.?
Fear might be unfounded, but it is still fear. I trust things might get a little easier as my friend suggested because Trump has been elected. To be honest, I did not long for the idea of trying to calm down local residents and church leaders about mostly unfounded suspicions. Moses wrote in Genesis three that unfounded suspicions are often the roots of evil. A legendary Baptist leader once said many Baptists cannot tell the difference between a fireman and an arsonists. He was attempting to be a fireman. I hope my fireman days will grow easier now.

"dared not place a Hillary sign" (none / 0)
For the first time since I walked away from the "right" altogether, I was offered a Hillary sign, although for years I've asked for Democrat signs during every election (they also asked me about going door-to-door in our area). I had to turn them down. It's like I told them:
"Where we live, a Hillary sign might bring bullets through our windows, or a bomb thrown under our house. If I went door to door, I would run a very real risk of having my head blown off!" They didn't want to believe me, but after showing some pictures in my tablet (from the fire, and of racist hate graffiti spraypainted in front of our mailbox), they accepted my refusal (I helped register voters in areas away from my home).
The reality is that openly and visually supporting Democrats (or any liberal cause) is too dangerous around here. The fact is, I don't have freedom of speech away from the internet - and like I've said before, I have to use a pseudonym to say anything because of the stalking I went through a few years ago (several friends recommended not using my real name because of the danger that they recognized). So, I'm not surprised that others didn't put out signs because of the "consequences" they'd suffer. In this area - going over into the next county, I don't remember a single Hillary sign, but DO remember seeing hundreds of Trump signs, before the election. In previous elections, anything supporting Democrats didn't last more than a couple of days (with ONE exception - in over 12 years). They'd all be destroyed or defaced - including in fenced and locked yards, and in one case replaced with Republican signs. I suspect that the people who would support us were as frightened of the Religious Right as we are.
If anything, the conspiracy theories are getting worse - being ranted more by the people who were already thought crazy for spouting them, and it does look like more and more are popping up. Some of the things I've run across were... strange and even didn't make sense (may have been dogwhistle). They're claiming that all of the attacks on minorities and so on are faked - that's a new conspiracy "theory". I think that they will only get worse, for instance more of them accepted as "reality" even though they aren't. People were fussing because they thought Trump will not put Hillary on trial for the deaths in Benghazi! (Another Conspiracy theory.)
We're terrified of what may happen. If (as I suspect) the recounts reveal some glaring problems, there might be a civil war - or a lot of deaths as the Trump supporters mete out "consequences for actions" (for not going along with their goals). If he does succeed and stay in office, what will happen to the Other, to those on the outside? What will happen to the very poor, those with health issues, the person imprisoned (possibly for bogus reasons)? In other words, the very people the Rabbi they claimed to follow said to HELP?
(Answer: many if not most of the local Churches insist that by ranting at them for their sinfulness and insisting that they brought 'it' all upon themselves - they're helping the people who suffer. I've encountered Christians who insisted that it was better to let someone starve to death while preaching "your sins are why you suffer!" at them, than to feed them and then "share the gospel" later - in the first case they might accept Jesus at the last second and be saved, while in the second case you would be giving them the opportunity to "reject Christ and go on living in sin!" That all is a literal quote from one Good Christian, and I've heard the same sentiment from others. According to some people I've talked with, there are churches in their area that insist that is Gospel and it's SOP for "helping the Homeless".
Even those that aren't that Dominionist will go up in arms if you say that how you treat others is more important than how you believe (and then try to tell you how you're to believe). Only the most liberal churches, it seems, accepts that how you treat others is critically important.
Even worse, I've HEARD and READ dominionists advocate death for apostasy - since I was involved in the Dominionist churches almost 40 years ago. We're apostates... we left Christianity to never return (and learned that the descriptions of Jews, pagans, atheists, and even Statanists {giving a friendly wave to certain individuals} given in the churches were all absolutely false). Will they start enforcing Biblical law - like we hear people call for?
I think you're going to be hearing even more strange stuff, and if things keep going the way I think they will, you might find yourself having to help people deal with the fallout, including the bitterness from complete betrayal. I don't think that would be any easier than fighting against lies.

Sounds like your region is even further out than mine. Tonight out city has its annual Christmas celebration. I am not sure they realize what Christmas represents. I am sure they do not realize what the First Amendment is about.
It all boils down for me to the fact that I believe Putin and Castro are wrong, Democracy does work. Given time the Roger Williams of the world prevail.

Trump Elecion is a puzzle (none / 0)
"One time I discovered some of my church leaders were reading a book claiming Hillary was involved in a secret lesbian plot with Janet Reno to destroy Christianity. Our own local congressman adhered to some of these theories."
Please, please, please use the word "hypothesis" not theory.
Theory is settled, not wild stories that some people believe without a second thought. Drop the use of theory in the wrong way it just leaves you without "theory" to use in its proper place or worse adds to confusion. "Evolution is just a theory" kind of nonsense.
As for Trump how did so many just accept his ravings, falsehoods, racist and sexist talk to elect him?
Are all those people in support of the bad side of the USA?

Complex (none / 0)
That word defines the situation, although yes, they DID either accept the language (many of them voted for him because he said what they wished they could start saying in public) or ignored it because he was a "Good Ole Boy" and conservative Republican - and they were more used to such language than we are.
A major part of it is the difference in thinking between conservative and liberal. To boil it down (and this has been backed up by some real solid research), conservatives are driven by emotions, while liberals are issue-oriented. In other words, conservatives vote because of loyalty to the party, because the person they support says things that reinforce their own prejudices and beliefs (thus triggering a release of "feel good" hormones), and because they fear change and difference. Liberals focus on the issues, have little problems with change (as long as it's not for the worse) or disagreement or difference. (We too get the "feel good" hormone release and have to be careful of it.) So we listen to what people say, while the conservatives tend to ignore what is stated and concentrate on how it makes them feel.
Another thing I would argue is that they're used to being lied to, and cognitive dissonance has become the norm.
Then there is what I think was the main reason. Trump portrayed himself as the "outsider", the one who would change things (for better or worse is the question that he should have been asked). Hillary Clinton was forced on us, and in spite of the pundits who scream to the heavens "You MUST TRUST THE ELECTION SYSTEM!!!" and that "THE ELECTION WAS NOT TAINTED!!!", a great many people saw what was happening - Hillary Clinton was picked by the 1% and forced on us and indeed, she represented the Status Quo (which mainly benefits the 1% - the same thing that has happened for millennia). My wife and I almost didn't vote, because we were so disgusted with what happened. The actions of the DNC led to a lot of people sitting out the election in disgust (they realized that the DNC did NOT represent their interests).
A truth that many of those same pundits would like us to conveniently forget is that the DNC WAS hacked, and they WERE manipulating the primaries. Rather than accept the fact that they ignored the majority of their people and forced someone on us that we strongly distrusted, they kept on with a person who to nearly every American represented "more of the same!" - triggering the same fear and distrust in BOTH Democrats and Republicans. Whoever hacked the DNC did this country a favor in a way... although the fallout was Trump won. Exposure of wrongdoing is almost always a good thing. (Too bad the sort of cr*p that the Republicans and the dominionists pull usually doesn't get exposed!)
Finally, while we listened to and understood what Trump (and especially those who he picked for his cabinet and the VP) have said and fear them because of the threat they represent to this country, at the same time the Republicans were pumping "Libruls are gonna take away your rights! They're going to make your church marry gays! They're gonna take away your religion! Look at the person they put in office, a dark-skinned man who doesn't look like you! Don't forget, Hillary Clinton represents the way things are being run and it's those rascally LIBRULS that are the source for your discomfort!" They count on the conservative's emotional response to make conservatives ignore what they actually state... which will be ten times if not a hundred times worse than today for most Americans. Think about it - what harm does it do to say "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas"??? Both are equally valid, but the first means that the person speaking is giving equality to religions other than Christianity. I'd say that more than 99.9% of Christians (if not more) have been raised on religious supremacy and believe that their religion is "deh TROOF!" without thinking critically about what they'd heard in their churches. So, they are uncomfortable at one level or another with "Happy Holidays!" (unless they've grown used to it) and for conservatives, that discomfort is bad. The fact is, most churches (even those who claim to be liberal-oriented) are actually more forces for the status quo than not. They COULD be forces for good, but it means that the authoritarian structure that most operate under is just an extension of the structure that the one they claim to follow railed against.

I would add (none / 0)
that there are many venues where I have to keep a low profile, and I get hit with anti-liberal hate on almost a daily basis. Indeed, I wouldn't go there except they're the only place where people with OTHER similar interests can be found. I've learned to avoid certain topics and threads because of the hatred spewed onto the screen - and to watch what I say because it will trigger an almost violent response.
When people are taught that those "ebil Libruls" are the source of their discomfort (and they hear it all the time), the differences grow and hatred replaces distrust or dislike.

theory (none / 0)
My attempt here was use the definition of "theory" as that of "speculation."
by wilkyjr on Thu Dec 15, 2016 at 10:44:02 AM EST
I too cringed (none / 0)
when I read "Theory", although I know it includes a definition related to speculation.
My education and training causes me to utilize the science definition of theory and that's what I think when I read the word (so encountering it used in that way causes me to pause and consider where the speaker/writer is coming from). I suspect that the "speculation" usage rose from people who were indeed speculating (if not pulling their idea out of a bodily orifice) but wanted to give their idea some sort of authority, like they had arrived at it through scientific investigation.
We run into the "you're just speculating" accusation form of 'theory' all the time, when indeed our usage is accurate and based in science. You teach evolution and cultural variations (and aspects of history that violate the beliefs and ideology of dogmatic people), you get the "speculation" form thrown at you quite often.
by ArchaeoBob on Mon Dec 26, 2016 at 12:42:52 PM EST
Yes, theory has several standard usages (none / 0)
and your context makes your meaning clear -- the overwrought reactions not withstanding.
Anyone who is confused about this can check a dictionary. Such as this one: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theory
by Frederick Clarkson on Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 03:43:21 PM EST
Not the dictionary (none / 0)
They list all uses and until we settle down to one use and one use only for it we get idiocy like "Evolution is just a theory" nonsense. So the only way is to press it. But no one will. I know I am tilting at windmills, but if not me, then who?
I also ask them that if theory now means hypothesis, then what do you use to mean "theory" like Evolution? They have no answer. It just trashes and confuses. I sometimes see bonifide scientists falling into to it too because we are evolved to fit in to the larger group. I just don't fit.
Time to teach everyone how to be a scientist. How they think about then experiment to find out what-is-what. Otherwise it can only degenerate further and the USA has never been known to support much intellectual activity unless it is weapons for war or religion.
by Nightgaunt on Tue Jan 03, 2017 at 09:50:21 PM EST
nope (none / 0)
Its time for people to stop being word police and actually learn how to use language rather than control it.
There are perfectly good arguments to be made by those who know how to differentiate a scientific theory from a hypothesis. Let's see them get better organized and do it.
Although, by your reasoning, it would be smarter for scientists to stop using the word theory, because other people don't get it. But then, that's a non-starter isn't it?

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 – June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.
She was described by Gustave Geffroy in 1894 as one of "les trois grandes dames" of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot

Kohli mocks Kesrick with the notebook send-off
By Farhan Nawaz
Indian skipper Virat Kohli struck an imperious knock to lead his team to a six-wicket win over West Indies in a tight contest. Kohli smashed an unbeaten 94 off just 50 balls that helped India chase down the steep 208-run target with eight balls to spare.
While Kohli's pyrotechnics with the bat caught everyone's attention, his "notebook" send-off to West Indie pacer Kesrick Williams hogged the limelight.
The star batter copied the Chadwick Walton's famous CPL send-off to Williams to imitate the signature celebration, which he later claimed was a form of revenge.
"It's not the CPL (about Williams' celebration), it happened to me in Jamaica when he got me out. So I thought I'll tick a few in the notebook as well, but all good. There were a few words, but smiles at the end. That's what you want to see. Good competitive cricket but in the end shake hands and give a hi-fi. That's what cricket is all about. Play it hard but have respect for opponents," Kohli said.

RIDOH confirms second case of coronavirus disease (COVID-19); testing a third individual
by Ryan Belmore March 1, 2020 Updated March 3, 2021
The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH)'s State Health Laboratories announced this evening that they have identified a second presumptive positive case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and a separate person has been tested for COVID-19 today. The presumptive positive case is a teenager. She is at home with mild symptoms. The adult being tested is in her 30s and is also at home with mild symptoms.
These two individuals went on the same trip to Europe in mid-February as the male in his 40s who RIDOH announced this morning as Rhode Island's first presumptive positive case of COVID-19.
Saint Raphael Academy, which organized the trip to Europe in mid-February, will be closed for the remainder of this week. The adult whose test results are still pending is a staff member at Achievement First Academy in Providence. Achievement First Academy will be closed for two days, pending the results of the staff member's tests. (The result is expected tomorrow, and the school is closing for an additional day to do environmental cleaning.)
All 38 of the people who went on this trip will be self-monitoring for symptoms at home for 14 days with public health supervision. They have been instructed to not go to school or work and to remain at home for these 14 days.
"All three people went on the same trip to Italy," said Dr. Alexander-Scott in a statement. "This is precisely why we are being so aggressive in identifying contacts, ensuring monitoring, and testing people who are symptomatic."
Outreach to the people who were in direct contact with any of these three individuals is on going. These direct contacts will be self-monitoring for symptoms at home for 14 days with public health supervision. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is managing contact tracing for people on the return flight that these three individuals took back to the United States.

Because human coronaviruses most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, Rhode Islanders are reminded to take the same measures that healthcare providers recommend annually to prevent the spread of the flu and other viruses.
Get your flu shot, and make sure the people around you do the same.
Wash your hands often throughout the day. Use warm water and soap. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand gel.
Cough or sneeze into your elbow. Viruses can spread by coughing or sneezing on other people or into your hands.
Stay home from work or school if you are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious foods.
Keep surfaces (especially bedside tables, surfaces in the bathroom, and toys for children) clean by wiping them down with a household disinfectant.
The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. You should only wear a mask if a healthcare professional recommends it. A facemask should be used by people who have COVID-19 and are showing symptoms. This is to protect others from the risk of getting infected.
If you have recently traveled from an area with widespread or ongoing community spread of COVID-19 and you have symptoms of the disease (fever, cough, shortness of breath) reach out to your healthcare provider and call ahead before going to a healthcare facility. The healthcare provider or facility will work closely with RIDOH.
There have been more than 60 US cases of COVID-19 confirmed. Globally, more than 80,000 cases have been confirmed. CDC reported the first US fatality on February 29th.
RIDOH is coordinating with other State agencies and community organizations to support anyone doing self-quarantining to ensure that people who are remaining at home have the support services they need. This includes support with everyday needs, such as prescriptions and groceries. The organizations that have offered support include agencies throughout the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), the Rhode Island Food Bank, the American Red Cross, and other members of Rhode Island's Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD).
The additional preparedness steps that RIDOH has taken include:
Establishing an Incident Command System response, which is how RIDOH and other State agencies organize to prepare for (or respond to) an urgent situation that requires extensive coordination. It includes staff from the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA), the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals (BHDDH), the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE), the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (DHS), the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM), the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE), and Rhode Island Commerce. It also includes staff from RIDOH's State Health Laboratories, Center for Acute Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Center for Emergency Preparedness and Response, and Center for Public Health Communication, among other areas of RIDOH.
Regularly communicating with RIDOH's Infectious Disease Epidemiology Advisory Committee (IDEAC) to track any clinical and epidemiological developments related to COVID-19. (IDEAC is a group of infectious disease physicians throughout Rhode Island that provides guidance to RIDOH leadership on emerging infectious disease matters.)
Maintaining a robust system to receive and follow up on illness reports from Rhode Island healthcare providers.
Regularly sending to local healthcare providers summaries of the national situation, criteria to guide evaluation of patients, and guidance on specimen collection, testing, and reporting.
Coordinating closely with healthcare facilities and emergency medical services (EMS) providers to ensure their preparedness.
Communicating regularly to community partners, such as schools, faith leaders, and municipal officials.
More information about COVID-19 is available in multiple languages at health.ri.gov/covid. People with questions about COVID-19 can call 401-222-8022.

Smartphone shipments exceeded 200 million units in Q4 2012, with the annual total reaching 671 million -- representing a growth of almost 42 percent year-over-year, according to the latest market study by Juniper Research.
Samsung continued its phenomenal growth over the year shipping a record 63 million smartphones and accounting for over 30 percent of all smartphone shipments in the quarter. Once again, sales of the Galaxy S3 drove growth, with sales surpassing 40 million in November 2012.
However, despite the holiday season boost and iPhone 5 sales, Apple posted lower than expected iPhone sales -- at around 47.8 million, but still a record quarter for the company.
With Samsung leading the market, Juniper believes that Apple will need to continue focusing on innovation, while retaining its brand leadership.
Meanwhile, Nokia shipped 6.6 million smart devices in the fourth quarter, with the new Lumia device line still to make a significant impact with shipments of 4.4 million.
Nokia's Symbian based handsets experienced a large decline, reaching 2.2 million. Overall, the Finnish company made a $3 billion loss for the year, but posted a profit of $586 million for Q4 2012. Smartphone shipments reached 35 million in 2012 compared to just over 77 million in 2011 -- that's down by 54 percent.
BlackBerry's recent results -- which run to a different financial schedule -- are expected to account for almost 6.7 million smartphone shipments for Q4 and over 31 million for the year.
With the release and launch of BlackBerry 10 and a new line of smartphones somewhat improving the situation, the Canadian company will struggle to gain back a significant market share in 2013.
Huawei posted impressive sales in 2012, with the introduction of a range of new smartphones and tablets, posting sales revenues of over $35 billion. The company introduced over 23 models of smartphone devices and is estimated to have shipped almost 20 million smartphones in 2012.
While other smartphone vendors, including LG and ZTE, have managed to maintain their smartphone market shares, they are still facing challenges when competing against the premium brands.
Similar to Samsung, these vendors are introducing a number of new product lines and launching marketing activities to maintain their visibility in the global mobile handset market.

Home World South Asia Why I am Proud of Being an Indian!
Why I am Proud of Being an Indian!
Dr. Ravindra Kumar
I am proud of being an Indian. But for what reason? Is it for the simple reason that I am a creation of the Indian soil? Or, is it for the reason that the Indian soil uplifts me? Certainly not for these reasons only. Someone else can take pride in being an Indian for these reasons, but the reason of my pride is that my country, India, makes Sahishnuta [forbearance], Sahansheelta [tolerance] and Sarvabhaumik Swikriti [universal acceptance] the basis of identity of its inhabitants. Furthermore, I am proud of being an Indian because Ahimsa [non-violence] in its perfect state is accepted as the supreme value in day-to-day living here.
It is evident that forbearance, tolerance and universal acceptance, along with Ahimsa, are the parts and parcels of the lives of the Indians. On the strength of these values India accorded refuge to all those who became the subject of atrocities and were oppressed in their own respective continents or countries. Without any cast, creed, colour, gender or religion-based discrimination, India adopted all those who reached to its land for the purpose of taking shelter. This is, in fact, the Indian Way, established centuries before. This is foremostly the subject of pride for me and lacks of other like minded people.
I am proud of being an Indian because my country granted refuge to those Jews who became victims of atrocities of the Romans and after the destruction of their holy place of worship by them reached the Indian soil for shelter. They not only got refuse here forever, but also the permission of earning their livelihood. Deprived of freedom in their own motherland of Iran, Zoroastrians [Parsis], the followers of Spitama Zoroaster, who conveyed the great message of monotheism, when reached India to take refuge, Indians accepted them with joy. It is a long list of such refugees. The names of several human-groups and tribes are there in that list, who attracted by the sweet-smell of the Indian soil, reached here from time-to-time during the last four thousand years.
I am proud of being an Indian because the Dravidians, the Aryans, the Shakas, the Kushanas, and the Hunas are the inhabitants of India. The Greeks, the Europeans, the Mongols [including the Moghuls], the Tatars, the Turks and the Arabs are on the Indian soil. The blood developed in all continents of the world flows in the veins of India. A pleasant combination is it that people come from all continents in India and stay here with pride? They try to convert themselves to become Indians and to follow the Way of India.
I am proud of being an Indian because not only so-called high families-born great men, sages and saints have added to the honour and pride of the country, but the so-called low families-born Maharshi Valmiki, Saint Ravidas, Mahatma Kabir and Sain too have added to India's honour; they too have contributed towards the glorification of the country. Furthermore, they have also filled their compatriots with ethical values, morality and dutifulness in great measures. Like Brahmin-class born Vashishtha or Kshatriya-class born Vishwamitra, Mahavira, Gautama Buddha and Nanak, Dravidian Rishi Tiruvallur has also added to the honour of the nation through his great message for humanity. Moreover, so-called Shudra-family born Saint Tukaram is not the least than any of his contemporary so-called high-class born saints and sages. In every age virtuous people were born to accord proper knowledge of dharma and also to convey the true message of the Indian Way. Doubtlessly, they go forward for the welfare of all-high or low, they purified the soil of the country and became the voice of India.
I am also proud of being an Indian because seeds of democracy have been in existence in social, political and economic structure of the country since ancient times. The large-scaled interest of people has been in the centre at the time of taking decisions. Mutual discussion, harmony and cooperation have been the basis of implementation of decisions.
India is the largest democracy of the world. Democracy builds the political structure of the country. Freedom, one of the fundamentals of democracy, is the ornament of citizens of India. Everyone has the right to free speech here. In this regard India is not behind any of the democratic nations of the world.
It is India that allowed Late Benazir Bhutto to present the case related to civil liberties of her compatriots on its land. It is India that provided the opportunity to Asma Jahangir of Pakistan to obtain support and cooperation on the question of human rights violation in her country. It is India that accords freedom of speech to Taslima Nasrin-a social writer of Bangladesh. The whole world knows that the Dalai Lama is staying in India for decades and from the Indian soil he struggles for the freedom and rights of the Tibetans.
In spite of displeasure of mighty China, Indians extend their support to him. Pro-democracy leader of Burma [Myanmar], Aung San Suu Kyi, who is currently under house arrest in her own country, receives people's support in India. Hundreds of her supporters stay in India and from here they struggle for the development for democracy set up in their homeland.
I am also proud of being an Indian because all those scholars, who influenced by cultural heritage of India reached from time-to-time to its land, received due respect and honour. Whether it was Megasthenese [350-290 B. C.], or Fa-hien, Hieun Tsang [603-664] or I-Tsing or anyone else, the Indian Way and thinking attracted them all. After accomplishing their tasks of gaining knowledge and particularly collecting valuable information of instincts of Indians, they reached back to their native countries with never forgettable memories. India proved to be the greatest centre of knowledge and spiritualism for all of them. They all accepted Hindustan to be the Jnanaguru and spiritual leader of the world.
Being an Indian my pride increases when I find that a pilgrim of the Indian Way Moghul emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar is accepted as an ideal in this country; Annie Basant is elected the President of the Indian National Congress; Mecca-born Abul Kalam Azad, in presence of stalwarts like Gandhi, Lajpat Rai, Motilal Nehru and Chitta Ranjan Das, is nominated to preside over the Congress session at the age of 35 years; Mountbatten holds the post of the Governor-General of India even after its independence from Great Britain.
Being an Indian my pride multiplies when I meet the reality of inhabitance of followers of almost all chief religious-communities of the world on India's soil. They are secure here. They receive the cooperation of true followers of the Indian Way at the time of distress.
It may be a question mark in any other country of the world on the existence of followers of any particular religious-community, but in India all along with their chosen faiths and beliefs are safe. Four of the major religious-communities of the world-Hindu [Vedic], Jain, Boddh and Sikh-have been established or developed in India and doubtlessly they are safe here. Four of them-Jews, Zoroastrian, Christian and Islam-have been established in Arab or the Middle-East Asia. The followers of all of them too are in the bosom of Mother India and they are also safe here.
Two religious-communities-Confucian and Taoism-have been established in China and followers of both of them, along with the followers of Shintoism-a Japanese-born religious-community, have all possibilities for them in India. Moreover, the followers of newly born community of Bahais are also safe and sound in India.
Being an Indian it is also increases my pride that centuries before human-divinity was made the basis of the principle of national and universal acceptance in India. The source of all around visible peculiarity is the human-divinity. Therefore, human beings have been accorded supreme in the creation.
Everyone, no matter what particular religious-community or class he belongs, is equally revealer of divinity. And it is the result of this very recognition that on the basis of his or her religious-community, creed, colour or class not a single human being from any part of the globe has been denied entry to this land. All received opportunities for their progress and welfare. This great and unique principle has given such an extension to the glory of India that one of my European friends, like a honey-bee, desires to take a seat on deep-rooted, juicy and prosperous tree like India. Influenced by Indian chivalry, harmony and hospitality she desires to come to this land time and again. Is it the least to add to my pride being an Indian? No, it is enough to do so. Furthermore, she is convinced by the Indian way. She praises for this way and going deep to this way rejoices and feels rich.
Thus, on the whole, I can say in brief that the reason for my pride of being an Indian is the Way of India and its chief features which I have mentioned. It is possible that many may not agree with my brief opinion about the Indian Way. In practice they may perceive something different from my views. But, the true Indian Way is the one which I have discussed.
Certainly that way is not a narrow or restricted one. It is full of comprehensiveness. It is a harmonious one. It is the nurturer of the basic culture of this country. It is devoid of any discrimination. Isolation, detachment, discrimination, fundamentalism and narrowness have no place in the true Indian Way or the vision. If someone tries to connect it with any of them, he, doubtlessly goes against this way.
In other words I can say that such a one is not a true Indian. He is selfish, and in spite of hiding him in the shadow of Indianness, he does not follow its way and vision.

Dash.js V 2.6.8 released with relevant features.
Epic Labs, a proud member of the DASH Industry Forum and Digital Production Partnership (DPP), announces the release of version 2.6.8 of dash.js that incorporates major improvements such as low latency Chunked CMAF support.
Madrid(5/10/2018) -
Several enhancements have been incorporated in this new version such as fixes that improve captioning and DRM handling. But above all, two implementations are extremely important, one of them is the support of persistent licenses (DRM), while the other is the introduction of Low latency chunked CMAF over HTTP, which enables 2-4 second latency for live streams keeping a smooth playback experience. Supporting this feature in a scalable manner is enabled by major CDNs such as Akamai.
The development aims to provide an alternative to older protocols like RTMP whose main advantage over HTTP streaming ones was its lower latency.
In the client side, part of the solution is based on the use of the fetch API offered by browsers, which allows reading incoming chunks as they arrive, instead of waiting for them to be completed. Dash.js analyzes the byte stream representing each chunk and pushes it to the video decoder as soon as it has enough information to start playback stably. Every player based on dash.js is able to benefit of this new feature by doing nothing but updating to the latest version.
Jesús Oliva, Epic Labs Media Engineer Lead & Founder: "This is an exciting achievement because it provides a low latency chunked solution based on open standards, protocols and source code. A real alternative to proprietary or custom solutions that require to package content in a strange manner or exceed the norm. This is a great deal for the industry."

ESG factors are significant issues for Irish investors
73% of Irish investors say ESG factors influence their investment decisions
Savings and Investment Index up slightly in Q1 2020 thanks to stronger New Year savings sentiment
50% of people were saving regularly in Q1 2020, up from 46% in Q4 2019
Investor sentiment expected to drop in coming months given Coronavirus concerns
It is clear that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors such as climate change, human rights and good business practices are important ones for Irish investors, according to research for Bank of Ireland's Savings and Investment Index. 73% of Irish investors said that these factors influenced their investment decisions. Interestingly, the influence of ESG factors was not just confined to millennials – 69% of millennials (16-29) cited ESG factors as important while the corresponding numbers for Gen Xers (30-59) and baby boomers (60+) were 73% and 78% respectively.
The Bank of Ireland Savings and Investment Index, which measures sentiment towards saving and investment, rose slightly from 93 to 94 in Q1 2020. Improved saving sentiment was the main catalyst for the improvement, with the Savings Index rising from 95 in Q4 to 99 this quarter. Investor sentiment was more muted in the first quarter of the year with the Investment Index slipping to 90 from 91 in Q4.
Tom McCabe, Bank of Ireland Investment Markets commented: "In recent years numerous international investor surveys have indicated that ESG factors are becoming central to investors' decision making. Our research this quarter also shows that Irish investors see these factors as a big influence with 73% of them saying they influence their investment decisions. The response from Irish investors was very clear-cut across all demographics underlining how seriously Irish investors view issues like climate change, human rights and corporate governance."
Savings Index
The Savings Index rose from 95 to 99 in the first quarter of the year, recovering back to levels last seen during Q2 2019. The improved saving sentiment was squarely down to stronger attitudes to saving in the period. The percentage of people saving regularly rose from 46% to 50% in Q1, a factor that helped push the Saving Attitudes sub index up from 91 to 99, the highest level in around a year. The increased prevalence of regular saving in the first quarter was visible across all age groups – the percentage of under 50s regularly saving rose from 51% to 55% while the corresponding numbers for over 50s rose from 38% to 43%.
Peoples' short term outlook for savers worsened during the first quarter. The percentage of people that felt that it was a good time to save dropped to 38% in Q1, the weakest reading since Q4 2018, versus 25% who felt it was a bad time to save, unchanged compared to Q4 2019. The greater negativity on the immediate saving environment came primarily from older savers – for example, one in three people aged over 60 felt it was a bad time to save now. Looking out six months people were a little more optimistic about the saving environment with 41% seeing it as a good time to save then. But overall the saving environment sub index slipped from 99 to 98 in the quarter.
According to Tom McCabe, "The increase in the prevalence of regular saving in the first quarter might have been expected as people moved out of Christmas spending mode and into a new year. The fact that 50% of Irish people were regularly saving in the quarter says a lot about the underlying strength of the Irish economy in our view. However based on the first quarter data, the continued low interest rate environment still appears a frustration for savers. Given Eurozone interest rates look set to stay low for the foreseeable future, this may cap any further improvement in saving sentiment for the time being."
Investment Index
The Investment Index fell slightly in the first quarter, easing from 91 to 90 with a small improvement in the investment outlook off setting slightly weaker attitudes towards investment. The Investment Environment sub index rose marginally from 82 to 83 in Q1 although as in the previous quarter the move was characterised by slightly less negativity around markets rather than any endorsement of the market outlook. At a national level 32% of people felt it was a bad time to invest in Q1 with 23% of people seeing it as a good time to invest.
In terms of attitudes to investment, 36% of Irish people regularly invested in the first quarter of the year – the best reading since Q1. However it was greater dissatisfaction with the amounts which people were investing that dragged the Investment Attitudes Index lower from 100 in Q4 to 97 this quarter. For instance, the percentage of people that felt they weren't investing as much as they'd like rose to 50% in Q1, the highest reading for the question since Q2 in 2019.
Tom McCabe commented, "Irish investor sentiment was stable in the first quarter prior to the spike in market volatility that accompanied the spread of the coronavirus. However this is very much in the 'rear view mirror' now. Looking forward, it is difficult to envisage anything but a drop in investor sentiment over the next few months, particularly given the human and market concerns raised by coronavirus."
Retirement Optimism Index
Following gains in the past couple of quarters, our Retirement Optimism Index slipped back in Q1 dropping from 112 to 107. The percentage of people that said they had some financial preparation in place for retirement fell from 62% to 58% although this reading was still a strong one in a historical context. Irish people also felt slightly less confident about how they would fare financially in retirement. One in three people felt it would be difficult to live comfortably in retirement from a financial perspective, up slightly compared to
Q4.

Last year I gave the first of a lecture series I am developing on famous English women gardeners. There was no better place to start than with Vita Sackville West (and her husband, Harold Nicholson) who together created the famous gardens at Sissinghurst.
Vita writes of her first sight of Sissinghurst Castle in 1930.(U-tube video) A castle in ruin in seven acres of muddy wilderness. Vita says, "There was no water or electricity; there was no single habitable room. The amount of old bedsteads, plough share, old cabbage-stalks, old broken down earth closets…should have sufficed to daunt anybody." Nonetheless, the Nicolsons' buy the ruins and the farm in the heart of the country, and within easy reach of London. During 1930-31 Vita and Harold traveled between London and Sissinghurst to supervise the clearing up. The redemption of Sissinghurst took the next five years of hard work. By 1938 the young and flourishing garden was open for charity, a garden made within the walls of a moated 16th century manor house. The gardens are now in the care of the National Trust. Millions of visitors have travelled to Sissinghurst; a restored jewel within easy reach from Canterbury and Tunbridge Wells. I visited Sissinghurst in 2000 on a garden tour. The spirit of Vita Sackville West and Harold Nicholson remain to this day. The gardens and the world of these two famous people are endlessly fascinating. Do get to know them. Recommending Sissinghurst Castle -Portrait of a Garden by Jane Brown for your enjoyment.

I'm not sure I've heard of this place, but always happy to learn about somewhere new.
Oh my goodness, plan now for an upcoming visit to see this place. I'm writing about Vita SacKville-West for the letter V. Read one of the books I mention on her life before you go. It was only after the garden tour where I saw Sissinghurst that I came home and started reading. Endlessly fascinating.
I would love the have the castle to go with those gardens! Wow.
Her son has written a wonderful book on Sissinghurst today and farming the land again etc. These were amazing people, complex and a mystery in some ways to us because of their moral choices etc. Endlessly fascinating to me. If it were within my power, the castle is yours!
Is your Mom in England where she can actually visit Sissinghurst? I write about Vita Sackville-West for the letter V during the #Challenge. The whole story is fascinating.
I would love to see this castle and its gardens!
There are a number of lovely books about Sissinghurst that might have to substitute for now until you save enough quarters to go. My husband says I have enough saved now to take a cab to the airport.
It is a must see. HIGHLY recommend you read the book I mention when writing the post for the letter V (Vita Sackville West) before going. It is not about the garden, but about her, a complex woman of her times. An affair with Virginia Wolf ETC. I found it fascinating. When you go to Sissinghurst I wish I could go with you. We could talk of writing and gardening, books and our passions. Vita wasn't the only one who had some.
Lovely post. I gave visited Sissinghurst Castle and it is truly beautiful. It's great reading more about it.
Maybe we were there on the same day quietly moving along the paths taking it all in. It's a place fondly remembered. Let's hope we both can visit there again.
You'd have to have an army of gardeners, I would imagine.
I hadn't heard of this place before, it looks stunning! Great choice for your A-Z theme!
What a beautiful place! England seems uniquely suitable for gardens. I'd love to take that garden tour!
An interesting story nonetheless, thanks.
There is a Sissinghurst Castle garden blog. I love it.

Two Yellow Jackets Score Double-Doubles in ODAC Win Over VWU
Virginia Wesleyan (4-10, 1-4) 15 5 15 8 43
Randolph-Macon (10-3, 3-2) 11 16 26 10 63
Pts: Jayla Harris - 15
Reb: Jayla Harris - 5
Ast: Reagan Holmes - 4
Pts: Kelly Williams - 26
Reb: Kelly Williams - 15
ASHLAND, Va. – A pair of Yellow Jackets scored in double figures and pulled down more than 10 rebounds each in a 63-43 victory over Virginia Wesleyan University at Crenshaw Gymnasium Tuesday night. Sophomores Charlotte Woods (Richmond, Va. / Trinity) and Kelly Williams (Garysburg, N.C. / Halifax Academy) collected double-doubles in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference matchup.
R-MC got out to the early lead with junior Jayla Wade (Newport News, Va. / Heritage) opening the scoring with a three-pointer, with Williams adding a pair of free throws to give the Yellow Jackets take the 5-0 advantage. Virginia Wesleyan bounced back with a pair of shots to bring the game within one point at the period's media timeout. Woods scored a layup coming out of that timeout to take R-MC's lead back up to three. But the Marlins hung tough -- pushing ahead with a pair of baskets to take their first lead of the game. They were able to maintain the lead to end of the quarter, taking the 15-11 lead into the second frame.
Randolph-Macon got the momentum right back to start the second though. Junior Kelsey Wisner (York, Pa. / Central York) made a layup seconds into the period and Woods and Williams added a pair of field goals to allow R-MC to retake the 17-15 lead. The teams remained deadlocked at that score for nearly three minutes until Williams made a free throw with 5:25 to go in the period and VWU added an answering field goal on the other end just seconds later. Senior Teal Reynolds (Sterling, Va. / Potomac Falls) made a bucket with 4:25 to go to take the Yellow Jacket lead back to three and followed it up with a jumper from the wing with under 4:00 to go to push R-MC's lead up to five. The Yellow Jackets' lead would eventually get to nine with another Reynolds layup before settling at a 27-20 advantage going into the break.
Williams finished the first half with nine points and six rebounds while Reynolds scored six in the game -- all in the second quarter -- as well as pulling in three rebounds in the period. Woods pulled in five boards while scoring four points.
Randoph-Macon hit its stride in the third quarter. The team shot 91.7% from the field. Williams scored the first six points of the period for R-MC while Wade added field goals at 7:39 and 6:34 to go to extend the Yellow Jackets' lead to 37-24. The team continued its push forward with a three-pointer from freshman Becca Arrington (Amelia, Va. / Amelia Academy) while Woods made a pair of layups at 3:15 and 2:44 to go, each keeping R-MC's lead at 17. The Yellow Jackets hit their largest lead of the game with :40 to go in the period when Woods made a layup to allow R-MC to go up 53-34. Virginia Wesleyan made a free throw before the end of the period to head into the final quarter with a 53-35 margin. Williams scored 11 in the quarter while Woods added eight.
Virginia Wesleyan did not get much closer the rest of the night. A 6-1 run over the first three and a half minutes of the fourth quarter was answered by Williams hitting a layup and a pair of free throws taking the game under five minutes to go. VWU would not score another bucket from the 6:28 mark of the final period until :20 to go as they settled into the final score 63-43.
Randolph-Macon outshot the Marlins 46% to 33%. For the second game in a row, R-MC had a significant advantage in the paint, scoring 40 compared to VWU's 26.
Williams finished with 26 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks and three assists. Woods added her double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds while she added four assists. Wade finished with seven points and four assists as well as a pair of steals. Wisner added four points and three steals. Arrington tallied four points and four assists coming off the bench while freshman Elise Knobloch (Glenville, Pa. / Delone Catholic) added a point, an assist and three rebounds.
The win marked Head Coach Carroll LaHaye's 597th of her career, all at Randolph-Macon. LaHaye has a 62% win percentage in her 36 seasons with the Yellow Jackets.
The Yellow Jackets return to Crenshaw Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon to take on Hollins at 4:30. Randolph-Macon defeated Hollins earlier this season 78-22.


Within a half-hour's drive of St. Paul, the 475-acre site known as Vermillion Empire View offers a host of opportunities for outdoor recreation. One of the largest undeveloped tracts remaining in central Dakota County, the site includes a stretch of the Vermillion River and a prime trout stream. Once a family farm, the former land owners wanted to keep the land open and accessible to the public. In November 2005, after a multi-year collaborative effort TPL acquired the land and conveyed it to the state's Department of Nature Resources for long-term stewardship.

How a Tax-Evasion Whistleblower Became One of Europe's Most Wanted
By Uwe Ritzer / SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG / Worldcrunch Wednesday, Aug. 03, 2011
Keystone / Landespolizei Liechtenstein / AP
An undated photo released by Liechtenstein on March 11, 2008 shows Heinrich Kieber.
This post is in partnership with Worldcrunch, a new global-news site that translates stories of note in foreign languages into English. The article below was originally published in Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Heinrich Kieber traveled to Australia for the first time in the early 1990s. He brought his Jeep with him, and spent several months exploring the island continent. Then he reported the vehicle stolen, and got an insurance payout of 62,000 Australian dollars. He'd actually sold the car. Kieber was taking flying lessons, and one day without a word to anyone he disappeared. His Australian landlady, Margret Thompson, was left owed several thousand dollars in back rent.
Some 20 years later, again in Australia, and Kieber's done it again — disappeared. This time, his cover was blown. The now 46-year-old Kieber is one of the most wanted men on the planet. When he worked for the Liechtensteiner Fürstenbank LGT, he secretly copied the account information of some 5,800 clients from around the world, many of whom were hiding money in Liechtenstein to evade taxes. Among the repercussions: in February 2008, along with hundreds of less high-profile LGT clients in Germany, former Deutsche Post boss Klaus Zumwinkel was publicly outed for tax evasion.
(See the top 10 tax dodgers.)
Since the data theft, Heinrich Kieber is State Enemy Number One in his native Liechtenstein. The tiny, discreet principality was blown open as a tax oasis thanks to Kieber's divulgences. Under pressure from abroad, Liechtenstein was forced to make some concessions regarding its rigid bank secrecy rules. An international arrest warrant has been issued against Kieber, and some say there's a $10 million bounty on his head. However, according to Kieber, the secret services of several countries including Germany created a new identity for him and also protect him.
High-priced data
The theft made Kieber a rich man. He sold his information for millions to the countries from which the LGT customers on his list hailed. German authorities paid him around 4 million euros. In Australia, 20 investors who had some 110 million euros in Liechtenstein accounts came to light — which is why the matter of the insurance fraud dating back to 1992, for which there was an arrest warrant out against Kieber, was brushed aside.
(See pictures depicting the global financial crisis.)
Insiders have suspected for some time that Kieber — described as something of a loner, crafty, fickle, refined and egocentric — could be back living Down Under. Australia has always fascinated him. And even long before the data theft, he was restless, moving around a lot. This time, though, it wasn't his own choice: reporters from the Australian Financial Review sniffed him out.
All he left behind was a business card with a squiggly symbol on it and the name: Daniel Wolf. He told people at his favorite "Crema Espresso" café in Gold Coast, a town on the east coast of Australia about an hour from Brisbane, that he was an Austrian financier in early retirement.
(See TIME's tax covers.)
Kieber apparently moved to Gold Coast in August 2010, which was when he published a book on the Internet about stealing the bank account data. Early last month, Kieber gave evidence to the Australian Federal Court at a closed hearing, speaking freely about the rules of the game in the Liechtenstein tax haven.
In Australia, he apparently lived alone but was very sociable. He was fun to be with, even if he was a little cocky and talked an awful lot, café habitués told reporters. They were less enthusiastic about the time Daniel Wolf, alias Heinrich Kieber, supposedly invited a woman to lunch, but then made her pay because he said he only had a couple of dollars on him. When the reporters started trailing him, he sent them an e-mail saying he wasn't Heinrich Kieber.
And that's the last anyone's see or heard from him.
