The 'Mirzya' Trailer Doesn't Quite Make Sense But Looks Gorgeous
By Ankur Pathak
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, whose last directorial attempt was the critically and commercially successful Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, is back with his next, Mirzya, a film that is seemingly mounted on a lavish scale and whose trailer was just released online.
Mehra will be launching two new actors with Mirzya -- Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher -- both with strong lineage within the film industry. Harshvarshan is Anil Kapoor's son and Saiyami Kher is actress Tanvi Azmi's niece.
While the trailer is spectacular in terms of the visuals, not much can be said about the narrative, which looks confusing, to say the least. The film seems to be a reincarnation drama, which crosses between the early past and the present, with a sweeping love story weaved in.
According to its official synopsis, the film unfolds filled with 'heightened drama' in the visually rich terrain of Rajasthan, contrasted with flashes of the fantastical universe of the folklore set in the landscape of Ladakh.
The background score is especially striking in the trailer, a poetic tune reminiscent of epic love stories that become part of native folklore. The film itself is said to be inspired by the legendary story of Mirza-Sahiban, considered one of Punjab's most tragic romances.
Undoubtedly, the film boasts of an ensemble team. While the Rang De Basanti director is at the helm, legendary poet-writer Gulzar has written the film's screenplay and Mehra's Milkha collaborators Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have composed the music. Acclaimed polish cinematographer Pawel Dyllus has shot the film.
While these credits are certainly impressive, a lot is riding on the industry-bred newcomers, whose performances will make or break the film.
Produced by Mehra and businessman Anand Mahindra's film company Cinestaan, Mirzya will open in theaters on October 7.
Watch the trailer above.

Джон Чапек () — австралийский и канадский музыкант и композитор-песенник конца XX и начала XXI века. Автор более чем 1500 песен, в том числе исполнявшихся Родом Стюартом, Шер и Бонни Рэйтт. Чапек возглавлял Ассоциацию композиторов-песенников Канады и Зал славы композиторов-песенников Канады, а в 2005 году основал кафедру песенной музыки в Королевской музыкальной консерватории Торонто.

Биография
Джон Чапек — уроженец Праги, где появился на свет в 1946 году в семье пианиста. Его мать была одной из уцелевших узниц Освенцима. Когда мальчику было три года, его семья перебралась в Мельбурн (Австралия). В детстве Джон учился играть на пианино. Его кумирами этого времени были Литл Ричард, Рэй Чарльз и Чак Берри. Отыграв некоторое время в местных рок-группах, Чапек с друзьями основал в 1970 году группу Carson, ставшую в дальнейшем одним из самых популярных блюзовых коллективов в Австралии. Окончив в 1971 году Королевский Мельбурнский технологический университет по специальности «инженер-химик», Чапек занялся преподаванием. Оставив группу Carson, он выступает в эти годы в группах King Harvest, Flite и Hanagan.

В 1973 году Чапек переезжает в Торонто (Канада). В Канаде он пишет песни и аккомпанирует при записях популярным местным исполнителям, таким, как Марк Джордан, Иэн Томас, Дэн Хилл, Дайанна Брукс, Кен Тобайас, Эми Скай и группы The Good Brothers и Downchild. Сработавшись с Джорданом, сочинявшим слова для его песен, Чапек в 1979 году переселяется в США, где сочиняет музыку для Рода Стюарта, Джо Кокера, Дайаны Росс и Manhattan Transfer. Как клавишник он сотрудничает с продюсерами Умберто Гатикой и Джоном Бойланом, в том числе выпустив в 1991 году первый собственный альбом Indaba.

Вернувшись в 1995 году в Канаду, Чапек тем не менее продолжает писать музыку для американских звезд: Рода Стюарта, Шер, Бонни Рэйтт, сотрудничая также с популярной канадской певицей Амандой Маршалл. Он был директором Ассоциации композиторов-песенников Канады и Зала славы композиторов-песенников Канады. В 2005 году он стал одним из основателей кафедры песенной музыки в
Королевской музыкальной консерватории Торонто.

Творчество
Джон Чапек — автор музыки к более чем 1500 песням и ряду телесериалов. Его творчество отличают от работ других композиторов его эпохи сложные гармонические построения, более характерные для периода Tin Pan Alley.

Самым крупным успехом Чапека стала написанная в соавторстве с Марком Джорданом песня Rhythm of My Heart, в 1991 году включенная в мультиплатиновый альбом Рода Стюарта Vagabond Heart. Как сингл песня поднялась до 5-го места в центральном американском хит-параде Billboard Hot 100. Песня Can't We Try в исполнении Дэна Хилла поднялась в этом чарте до шестого места. Другие хиты Чапека включают вышедшую в 1994 году в альбоме Джо Кокера Have A Little Faith и прозвучавшую в фильме «Сметённые огнём» песню Take Me Home; песню Promises из альбома 1996 года Amanda Marshall; и композицию Love So High из альбома Шер 1999 года Living Proof. Песни Чапека звучали в фильмах «Коктейль» (1988), «Глушитель» (1992) и «Идеальный шторм» (2000). В Чехии его песни исполняли Карел Готт и Гелена Вондрачкова.

Mobile Telecommunications Network Ghana (MTN Ghana) has instituted legal action against two companies, Hisense Son Electronic Ltd and Zuleah Esifu for damage to its fibre cables.
In a release issued in Accra, Mrs Cynthia Lumor, Corporate Services Executive, MTN Ghana disclosed that MTN Ghana had sued Hisense Son Electronic Limited for causing damage to fibre cables on the Sakaman-Kasoa road while the second company, Zuleah Esifu, was sued after excavators being used by the company for clearing land for the construction of a filling station caused severe damage to MTN fibre.
According to Mrs Lumor, Fibre cuts compromised service quality for MTN customers and the company and that the company had vowed to step up its efforts to curtail the menace, which was on the ascendancy, in spite of time spent engaging stakeholders as a means to mitigating the problem.
"We have been educating the public against these acts for several years now; however every year the number of fibre cuts continues to grow," she lamented.
She said MTN invested heavily in fibre-optic technology in order to increase capacity and speed and ensure a distinct experience for MTN customers using voice or data services.
For example, she said. customers downloading large data or video files should be able to do so seamlessly because of our fibre and other investments.
However, Mrs Lumor said, indiscriminate cuts to the company's fibre by unscrupulous persons undermined the company's efforts.
She said MTN had had to implement various solutions to minimize the impact of fibre cuts to customers, including adding additional protection or diverting some of its fibre routes.
In some cases, she said, the company had had to replace degraded fibre along some of the routes, for example from Axim to Elubo road at extra cost.
She expressed the hope that suing identified perpetrators would deter others and potentially limit the inconvenience to MTN customers.

The Entrepreneur Behind This Oprah-Approved Fashion Brand Shares How to Find Your Purpose
Peace Love World founder and CEO Alina Villasante says it starts with lifting up your local and global community.

Entrepreneur Staff
Staff Writer. Covers leadership, media, technology and culture.
In this series, Open Every Door, Entrepreneur staff writer Nina Zipkin shares her conversations with leaders about understanding what you have to offer, navigating the obstacles that will block your path, identifying opportunity and creating it for yourself and for others.
Since the late 1990s, every year Alina Villasante would throw what she called "The Love Party." She would make her own jewelry, special t-shirts and apparel for the occasion to celebrate and connect with the women in her life.
After she and her partner Frank Villasante sold their aerospace maintenance and repair company in 2009, Villasante wanted to see if there was something more she could do with her apparel and jewelry ambitions.
The Cuban-born Miami-based designer knew that there could be a demand for her clothes outside her circle of friends. So she decided to bootstrap the idea and invested $50,000 to start printing the t-shirts, with no concrete plan for distribution -- all while finalizing the deal for High Standard Aviation during the height of the financial crisis.
Amid that upheaval, Peace Love World was born, a brand focusing on bringing happiness people. Even before Villasante opened her official storefront in Miami, she sold $85,000 worth of merchandise out of her home with lines around the block.

Since then, Villasante hasn't looked back. "I've probably made every mistake in the book," Villasante tells Entrepreneur. "And here I am 10 years later, so blessed to be doing what I'm doing and having this purpose."
Part of that purpose is the responsibility she feels to give back. Villasante is passionate about raising awareness and funds for research into autism, breast cancer research and multiple sclerosis.
An organization close to her heart is Zanmi Beni, a shelter in Haiti that gives a home to disabled and abandoned children. Peace Love World also joined HSN and QVC's International Women's Day Initiative where companies work together to donate more than $325,000 of proceeds to Nest, an organization that supports female artisans.
"Where you give love, you give life," says Villasante. "While building a life and business, it's very important to continue to lift others in the process."
Villasante shared her insights about learning how to trust your gut.

What do you tell yourself to work through setbacks and tough moments?
I try to remember the five greatest things that I'm grateful for at that moment. I focus on the positive; I focus on the glass half full.
I work through the hurdle of the negative and in the world of an entrepreneur, there's always ups and downs. There are daily challenges in everybody's business that you need to overcome. You're presented with a problem, you strategize yourself out of it, focus on the positive and keep going. That's really where the winners are.
Was there ever blindspot you had about leadership that you had to change within yourself?
I trusted others sometimes more than I trusted myself. Sometimes, we invest in consultants and other people to give us answers when we have fear or doubt. In reality, we know the answer, and the lesson here is to trust your gut. Trust your intuition.
What advice do you have about being your own best advocate?
Align yourself with your community -- friends, family and most of all your voice. Find your passion and strength and stay true to them. Don't change to conform to somebody else. Stay true to who you are. Let your voice be heard. Identify your superpower.
I found through making t-shirts that everyone was looking for the same thing: peace, love and happiness. I translated that into the world in fashion. I found my platform and how to share it with the world.

Davy Howard Levy was born in 1948 at Montréal, Quebec. He obtained his bachelor's degree in 1972 from Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and his master's degree in 1979 from the University of Queen's in Kingston, Ontario. Both degrees were in English literature. He is currently writing his doctoral degree at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, still on the subject of English literature.
Levy's interest in astronomy began during a partial eclipse of the Sun in 1959 at the age of 11. In 1965, he began to search for novae and comets in the sky. By the end of the 1980's, he was the most prolific observer in the American Association of Variable Star Observers with more than 10,000 observations per year for meteors, variable stars and Messier objects.
Always looking for a better climate and a darker sky, he moved to Arizona in 1980 where he still lives today. In 1984, after 19 years of fruitless searching, he discovered his first comet. Today, he is the discoverer or co-discoverer of 21 comets and more than 225 asteroids, including the famous Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet that crashed into Jupiter in 1994.
Author or editor of more than thirty books, numerous articles and more than 1,000 lectures and interviews, Levy is also involved with a number of magazines: he is Science Editor of Parade (USA), Associate Editor of Sky & Telescope (USA), and a regular contributor to SkyNews (Canada).
Over the years, he has developed numerous educational programs in astronomy for young people and the general public.
He has received more than 20 awards, including the Chant Medal from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada in 1980; the E. E. Barnard Award from the Western Amateur Astronomers and the Leslie C. Peltier Award from the Astronomical League in 1988; the G. Bruce Blair Award from the Western Amateur Astronomers and the Walter H. Haas Award from the Association of Lunar & Planetary Observers in 1990; the Amateur Achievement Award from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in 1993; two Group Achievement awards from NASA in 1995 and 1996; the Simon Newcomb Award from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada in 2002; and the Benjamin Franklin Citizen Award from the Society for Amateur Scientists in 2003.
In 1998, Levy also received an Emmy Award for co-writing the documentary Three minutes to impact for the Discovery Channel. He was also the recipient of four honorary doctoral degrees and is Honorary President of the Montreal and Kingston centres of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Asteroid 3673 is named after him.


This monument was conceived of by a group of Veterans to create five 8 X 10 foot oil paintings—depicting each of the five branches of the US military and installed in the Committal Hall of the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery north of Little Falls, MN. The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard and Marine Corps are installed, and Air Force will complete the Monument in 2019.
Unique to this monument is that each painting visually conveys the history and stories of the men and women of each branch. There is nothing else like these. Each painting is created by artist Charles Kapsner, and uses live models who come to the artist's studio, pose in period military uniforms, and incorporates historical elements. Each takes approximately 12-18 months from beginning to end to complete. They are about the Veterans who serve our country. It is their story. The project is privately funded by Veterans and non-Veterans, businesses, individuals, etc.
Beyond being a monument to our nation's men and women who serve, the paintings serve as an educational tool to help future generations understand our history and the vital role our military plays in maintaining our freedom and democracy. When the project is completed there will be five paintings in the hall representing the American history of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard with homage to the Merchant Marine.


6. Not dead!?! Repeat steps 2 through 5.
This is the most commonly effective attack plan, but is by no means the only working strategy. This can and should be re-ordered to fit the situation.
Dex, Crit-Damage, and Crit-Chance are always good and this still holds true, so you should always be looking ways to increase these values. In addition to the Normal DH arsenal this build benefits heavily from Chakram Skill bonus. You should be aiming for a total bonus of 10, which makes Chakram free, but 4-5 is doable with a Bat Companion. There are three armor slots you can find this on all of which give a max of 5 (chest, ring, and amulet).
The Inquisitor (chest) with Chakram +5 is great thanks to its Life Regen, Resist All, Movement Speed, and decent Dex. Mixed with Skull Grasp or Stone of Jordan with Chakram +5 (both are great damage boosters) and the build requirements are met. The Amulet (Mara's Kaleidoscope) option is ok, but good luck finding one with decent Dex, Chakram+, and Crit Chance. The Stone of Jordan and high quality Mara's options are really only for the extremely rich or lucky.


We can't afford to miss out on the top news of the day if we want to keep pace in a turbo-charged world. But with so much happening around us every day, it's hard to get time to read all the news amid the hectic office hours. Keeping that in mind, News Nation brings you a quick news wrap. From Tuticorin violence to unprecedented hike in fuel prices and Virat Kohli's injury to North Korea's nuclear test site demolition, below are the top news of the day.
The ongoing violence in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin has claimed the lives of at least 13 people, who had demanded the closure of Vedanta's Sterlite Copper unit. Over 70 people have been injured while clashing with the security personnel. They are currently undergoing medical treatment.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) working president MK Stalin sat on a protest outside Tamil Nadu secretariat and demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Minister K Palaniswami and DGP Rajendran over the killings.
The deadly Nipah virus on Thursday claimed one more life in Kerala's Kozhikode district, taking the death toll to 11 so far. The deceased, V Moosa, 61, was battling for life in a private hospital in Kozhikode after he contracted the virus a few days back, district medical officer, Dr Jayasree E told reporters.
The prices of petrol and diesel continued to skyrocket on the 11th straight day and touched an all-time high on Thursday. In Mumbai, the petrol was being sold at Rs 85.29 per litre, while in Delhi the price rose to a new record of Rs 77.47 per litre. The diesel also breached all records and touched a new high of Rs 72.96 per litre in Mumbai and Rs 68.53 in the national capital.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday said that the rise in the fuel prices was "unavoidable" and subsidising petrol and diesel will take away the money from social welfare schemes.
North Korea on Thursday dismantled its Punggye-ri nuclear test site in presence of foreign journalists. The decision came ahead of the historic meet between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore.
North Korea's decision to close the site has been touted as a welcome gesture by Kim to set a positive tone and a healthy atmosphere ahead of the summit.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli will not play for English County team Surrey in June due to a neck injury that he suffered while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). "Virat Kohli will not play for Surrey after suffering a neck injury playing for RCB. He will undertake a fitness Test on 15th June, and is expected to be fit for India's tours of Ireland and England," ICC tweeted on Thursday.

Pacific News Minute: Oceania's Oldest Tattooing Tools Trace Origins To Tonga, Samoa
Hawaii Public Radio | By Neal Conan
Published March 7, 2019 at 9:30 AM HST

Scientists in Australia have dated a set of ancient tattoo chisels to the dawn of Polynesian culture, 2,700 years ago. The tools were found in Tonga Tapu, and the scientists say that suggests that tattooing began in Tonga and Samoa, and then spread to the rest of the Polynesian Triangle, including Hawaii.
Michelle Langley of Griffith University said the find was extremely rare. There weren't that many tattoo artists to begin with, and archeologists found these four bone chisels and what was believed to be an ink pot together, which she said makes them an exceptionally rare tattoo kit. Carbon dating shows them to be 2,700 years old, which is about the time that a distinctive Polynesian culture began to emerge.
Two of the bones were from a sea bird, and two were cut from human bones. Geoffrey Clark of the Australian National University said that appears to answer an important question. At the burial sites of the first peoples to reach the Pacific, he said it's very common to find that relatives have gone back and removed skulls and limb bones, but scientists didn't know why. "The fact that we have human bone tattoo chisels," Clark said, "suggests a cultural or spiritual aspect, that you're taking the remains of your ancestors and turning them into tools." And not just any tools, but tools to make tattoos, whose symbols transmit Polynesian culture.
Professor Langley said that, their age aside, the tattoo chisels are identical to those used to make traditional Pacific tattoos today. The chisel is dipped in ink, and hammered into the skin. The word tattoo comes from the Polynesian word "tatau" – to strike.
Professor Clark has a tattoo made the traditional way and he told Australia's ABC "it's more painful than a standard electric tattoo gun."
The tattoo kit goes on display at the Australian National University later this year.

Q: Nop commerce single sign on from another website I am developing a nop commerce store (3.50) . I have a requirement that user will be redirected to nop commerce site when he clicks on the link provided on my informative website. I want to pass the loegged in user information from that site to nop commerce store so user don't need to log in on nop store again.
Is it possible to pass the username and password as header values when user is redirected to nop store and i can programmatically set user as logged in using those credentials from header ?

A: This actually is possible to do, though it requires some modification of the stock NopCommerce code.  Since Nop.Commerce uses cookies, what you'll have to do is validate the user via AJAX,return a disposable token, and do some redirects.
Here is what I did:
1) Modify the target server to allow cross-origin requests.
2) Create a custom ActionResult in the CustomerController on the target server that verifies the user's identity via AJAX. If it's a SUCCESS, set a custom customer attribute (how you do it is how you see fit) with a one-time use security token. Return a JSON object that is SUCCESS/FAILURE back to the client.  Do NOT! log the user in at this step
3) Make another custom ActionResult in the CustomerController, that passes in the user's e-mail address in the security token.  If the security token matches the custom customer attribute (set in step 2), you'd want to log the user in at this junction and set a session cookie in this ActionResult.  Load a black page that has JavaScript unction to redirect the user to the customer post-sign in landing page (to make sure the cookie got set to the client's machine).  THIS IS CRITICAL, MAKING SURE A PAGE LOADS AFTER SETTING THE COOKIE BEFORE REDIRECTING TO AN AUTHORIZED PART OF THE SITE.
4) Make an external login page on your remote site, where you use an AJAX call to verify the user's identity to the ActionResult created in step 2.
5) When the client gets the JSON object, if it's valid login, redirect them to the ActionResult created in step 3.
The big thing is with forms authentication, is that you MUST make the user visit a page on the targeted domain before the cookie is set.  Doing  EXTERNAL_SITE -> TARGETSITE_AUTHENTICATED_PAGE does not work.  You must do EXTERNAL_SITE -> TARGETSITE_SETCOOKIE_AND_REDIRECT_PAGE -> TARGETSITE_AUTNETICATED_PAGE

Seminar | Racial narrations in the Malay Archipelago during the Greater East Asia war | Sandra Manickam
« Roundtable discussion | The politics of researching language(s): Ownership and co-producing knowledge
Seminar | Developing enclaves in Indonesia: Ali-Babas, Law and Urban Land Acquisitions | Santy Kouwagam »
This talk will focus on the racial ideas circulating during the occupation of Malaya and Sumatra during World War II. In attempts to forge a greater archipelagic community, local writers for Japanese-sponsored Malay newspapers and magazines made use of racial studies in order to inform readers of the other related races in the archipelago as well as to argue for closer connections between different peoples in what could be a future political entity. Concurrently, Japanese racialisation was also taking place within the English-language media which sought to portray the conquerors as a superior people and culture that locals should emulate. This paper will consider the context of racial arguments made during wartime from the perspective of local peoples using race to argue for future nations and Japan as a colonial power in Southeast Asia. In both cases, racial imaginings take on new urgencies and are used in ways that build on past histories for new purposes.
Dr. Sandra Khor Manickam is Assistant Professor of History at Erasmus University Rotterdam. She is a historian of colonial Malaya who currently focuses on the history of medicine and colonialism in the first half of the twentieth century. Her latest project is on the intersections of medicine, colonialism and war under British colonialism and Japanese occupation, and has previously written on the history of racial science and anthropology. Her book, Taming the Wild: Aborigines and Racial Knowledge in Colonial Malaya, was published with NUS Press in 2015. She is also Managing Editor of the Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (JMBRAS) under editor Paul Kratoska. She may be reached at [email protected]

Rudder, commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, makes remarks during the anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal at the Guadalcanal American Memorial in the Solomon Islands, Aug. 7, 2022. The ceremony commemorated the 80th anniversary of the battle, and served to honor the fallen and strengthen the U.S. relationship with the Solomon Islands and other Pacific allies and partners. The historic battle was codenamed Operation Watchtower and was the first major offensive and decisive victory for the allied forces in the Pacific theater. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Dillon L.

CAMP H. M. SMITH, HI, UNITED STATES

U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific

Gen. Steven Rudder, commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific (MARFORPAC), traveled to Honiara, Solomon Islands, as part of a U.S. interagency delegation led by Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman from Aug. 7-9. The delegation, which also included U.S. Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy and other senior U.S. military officers, participated in several events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal, and further strengthened long-standing partnerships between the United States and the nations in attendance: Solomon Islands, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
Rudder was joined on the trip by other senior U.S. military officers, including fellow Marines Lt. Gen. Stephen Sklenka, deputy commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command; Lt. Gen. George Smith, commanding general, I Marine Expeditionary Force; and Maj. Gen. Benjamin Watson, commanding general, 1st Marine Division. The delegation included U.S. military officers from units that also heroically fought during the battle: Vice Admiral Andrew Tiongson, commander, U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area; Rear Adm. Jeffrey J. Kilian, commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific/director, Fleet Civil Engineer, U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. Navy; and Maj. Gen. Joseph Ryan, commanding general, 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Army.
On Sunday, Aug. 7, the United States hosted a memorial ceremony on Skyline Ridge, the site of the World War II Guadalcanal American Memorial. The hour-long ceremony, which started at 7 a.m., was largely planned and executed by MARFORPAC Marines. The ceremony was the first time a joint service color guard marched on Guadalcanal, carrying the national ensign and flags from each of the
military services that fought in the battle: the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Coast Guard. A quintet from the 1st Marine Division provided music for the event.
In his remarks, Rudder highlighted the important impact of the battle.
"So we're here to remember those sacrifices that were made; it changed the history of the Solomon Islands, and it changed the history of our nation," Rudder said. "I do not want to pass up the opportunity to show my dear appreciation for the Solomon Islanders. They were instrumental in everything we did and they endured hardships that we can't imagine."
"But it makes no sense to remember those sacrifices without looking to the future; and we pledge from Indo-PACOM and the United States Marine Corps, that we will look forward."
Other speakers at the ceremony included American Battle Monuments Commissioner Mr. Bud Pettigrew and Deputy Secretary of State Mrs. Wendy Sherman.
Sherman, whose Marine father fought and was wounded on Guadalcanal, spoke of the impact of the battle on both the military and Solomon Islanders. "With the benefit of hindsight, it is easy for us gathered here today to recognize the Battle of Guadalcanal as a turning point in the Pacific theater, and indeed in the Second World War. But for the Marines patrolling the dense and humid jungle, who had to be wary of both enemy snipers and crippling disease; for the sailors who fought terrifying night battles in the seas around these islands; for the airmen who engaged in countless dogfights in the skies above, the future was unknown and unknowable. And in many of those places - like here in Solomon Islands - civilians saw their world upended as well, as bombs and mortars fell on their towns and villages, destroying the lives of innocents."
During the ceremony, Sklenka and Rudder placed a wreath at the base of the monument on behalf of all U.S. service members.
Immediately following the U.S. ceremony, the Solomon Scouts and Coast Watchers (SSCW) Trust hosted a memorial event at the SSCW monument. At this ceremony, during which Ambassador Kennedy spoke, MARFORPAC provided a color guard at the request of the event organizers. Sklenka and Rudder laid a wreath at this ceremony on behalf of all U.S. service members.
Following the SSCW ceremony, the U.S. delegation traveled to the Point Cruz Yacht Club to attend a ceremony hosted by the U.S. Coast Guard, honoring Medal of Honor recipient Douglas Albert Munro. Afterward, the U.S. delegation traveled to the Japanese War Memorial Peace Park for a ceremony hosted by the Government of Japan. At both ceremonies, Sklenka and Rudder laid a wreath on behalf of all U.S. service members.
On Monday, Aug. 8, the U.S. delegation attended the fifth and final ceremony, which was hosted by the government of Solomon Islands. The event took place at the Bloody Ridge National Peace Park, which was named after an important battle fought by U.S. Marines in September 1942.
Throughout the seven-month battle for the island, American forces fought side-by-side with Allies from the Solomon Islands, Australia, Britain, New Zealand, the Kingdom of Tonga, and Fiji. The bravery, determination, and commitment of the Allied forces was critical to ensuring the strategic victory that marked a turning point of the war in the Pacific.
In her remarks at the Skyline Ridge ceremony, Deputy Secretary of State Sherman reflected on what came out of the battle for Guadalcanal 80 year ago. "Today - as we have been every day since the war ended - former combatants are united here as partners in peace. We have built schools and clinics together, conducted scientific research together, shared vaccines to combat the pandemic together. We have helped each other recover from natural disasters, protected each other from the impacts of climate change. We have celebrated and mourned and grown together. And above all - forged in the experience of the Second World War and made deeper with each passing year - we have built profound and enduring ties with each other, as one Pacific family."

Utahování šroubu (v originále The Turn of the Screw), česky známá též jako Padlí andělé, je opera Benjamina Brittena o prologu a dvou dějstvích, napsaná v roce 1954 na námět spiritualistické povídky Henryho Jamese, kterou v libreto přepracovala Myfanwy Piper. Premiéru měla opera 14. září 1954 v Teatro La Fenice v Benátkách.

Stručné shrnutí děje
Dvěma sirotkům, dětem Milesovi a Floře se zjevují přízraky bývalého sluhy Quinta a jejich bývalé vychovatelky Jessel a slibují jim splnění jejich přání. Chtějí tak zlomit jejich nevinnost. Jejich nová vychovatelka se je snaží před přízraky a jejich děsivými sny ochránit. Příběh se odehrává na anglickém venkově v polovině 19. století.

Možná interpretace díla
Někteří znalci Brittenova díla při výkladu této opery naznačují, že skladatel se mohl při jejím psaní ztotožňovat buď s dětskou postavou Milese deprimovaného nuceným potlačováním vlastní sexuality nebo naopak mluví o možném Brittenově ztotožnění se zjevem mrtvého Quinta jednajícího z popudu homosexuálně-pedofilní zainteresovanosti malým Milesem.

Inscenační historie v Česku
Českou premiéru měla opera 9. února 2000 v Státní opeře Praha, která ji uvedla ve spolupráci s Hudební fakultou AMU překladu Přemysla Charváta.

My workplace - an Offshore Company in Gothenburg decided to take on the renovation of the lighthouse Paternoster, residents on the island frimärksstora Hamneskär in Marstrand Fjord. The lighthouse was lifted off the island in 2002 and the horizon was not himself but the familiar silhouette.
A lighthouse since 1868 shone safe passage for mariners were now in our production hall. Like a giant chemi low Paternoster nedplockad and physically, I could knock at the lighthouse. All pieces were examined, repaired (as far as it went), galvanized, painted and mounted to after three years of work remains to be a 32 meter high lighthouse. September 26, 2007 lights Paternoster again. What a feeling to stand on the rocks when the first gleam swept!
It was realized early on that a lighthouse was needed in Marstrand Fjord and the best place was the island Hamneskär. The problem was that the island was too small, this could not live. Therefore mounted a lighthouse on top of Carstens fortress on Marstarndsön. But the lighthouse was on a slope so that the mariner was mistaken and thought that the lighthouse was a star. 1868 was therefore the lighthouse Paternoster on Hamneskär and three families moved out to take care of it. Four-masted, keeper and fyrbiträdets family. The work was often dangerous, often got lighthouse rescue shipwrecked.
Pater Nosters second four-masted died in the tower during a guard in February 1874th Fyrbiträdet Rosendahl drowned off the island. And the women who came with out to these barren places and difficult conditions must have been something beyond the ordinary.
A black and white photo of first fyrvaktarparet, Olof and Johanna Andersson got me thinking. Serious and overall they look into the camera, our eyes meet through the time period. While I read about the lighthouse's history can I contact with Bertil Nilsson, living on the island of Marstrand. He turns out to be the son of one of Pater Nosters last four-masted. I ask about the lighthouse and the people who lived out there on the small island until the lighthouse was automated in 1965 and no human hand longer needed. Bertil tells about island life and about his father four-masted.
Three families lived in the Port of Pink, and each family had its title in the storeroom, which during the war also received serve as shelters. That storeroom - the solid stone foundation and the red of the building in wood was interesting. What had not been able to hide in a place and what could not happen out on the isolated island Hamneskär! What if something hidden out here, which are revealed only in connection with the renovation of fyrbostäderna 2007th One of the three departments in the storeroom could be bricked again, after a body hidden in the space inside. Though if you want to hide a murder, it's easier to cut the body into the sea.
While I explore Marstrand and the opportunity to talk to older generations of Marstrandsbor pops up a story.
In the end, I have a history in the present and one in the past. I roll out a few feet of her son's drawing paper on the kitchen table, tape it there and start structuring all events. A timeline for the present and the past because the body is found in the storeroom appears to have been there a long time - for 40 years, believe the right doctor. But how does a body out after 40 years? Under what circumstances kept it perfectly? I will contact forensic in Gothenburg, where a forensic pathologist provides a study and take the time to answer my questions.
So I sit with a manuscript that friends can read. I'll call a literary agent - Nordin Agency. They in turn will contact a number of publishers, including Dust publishers who want to publish the book. Meanwhile, turn up new ideas, new stories, and while four-masted daughter goes to press, and will book and audio book, I write on. Now the book two - Soul coffin ready to be published in May 2010. And four-masted daughter will be released in Norway, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, France and Germany.
Ann Rosman resides in Marstrand. She is an experienced long distance cruiser, love Evert Taube and Bohuslän archipelago, Marstrand history and mysteries.
Marstrand. A city founded in the 1100s, an idyllic island community surrounded by the salty sea and with a clear horizon to the west. The feeling it gives me is that the possibilities are endless. Especially when the sun goes down and the entire sea turned into liquid gold.
Imagine all the people who trampled on the slate tiles and cobblestones in Marstrand before me! Bath attendants, waiters and errand boys. Cuts Captains and Kings.
With the hope that it will drip salt water on the book.
Four-masted daughter comes out in May 2009 Damm publishers. Available where books are sold, is also available as audio book and MP3.

Recondite marks his return to Hotflush with the epic, potentially summer-defining 'Caldera' and a sequel to his 2012 hit 'DRGN'. The Bavarian artist has undergone a dazzling rise since that time, and one which is reflected in the increasing opulence of his music.
'Caldera', with its dramatic arpeggios and crescendos, is unabashed big-field decadence. Bearing all the hallmarks on which he's made his name - space, subtlety, build, attention to timbre - over the course of 9 minutes it raises the temperature to white heat. 'DRGN 2' picks up exactly where its 2012 namesake left off; that is, with an arching melody played out over droning tones of insidious intent. Dark, imposing and elegant - this is Recondite at his most wicked.

On Author's Circle today, meet author and Mphil student, ANIESHA BRAHMA, to talk about writing, life and her book, THE GUITAR GIRL.
Hi ANIESHA, thanks for dropping in and letting us have a peek into your life. So, what's THE GUITAR GIRL about?
The Guitar Girl is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl named Rhea Shah, who harbours a crush on her brother's best friend and finds an innovative way to give vent to her feelings. I used a modern day epistolary format to tell this tale between a cast of characters...which I hope readers like.
'Only you can mess up telling the truth, you know' – Sophie Ghosh to Rhea Shah.
Because I can identify with this accusation. More often than not, even I have messed up – all because I told the truth.
How did you become a writer? In other words, tell us YOUR STORY.
Why write what you write? As in romance or suspense or thrillers?
Is there a certain scene you find difficult to write? Eg: Racy or action etc.? Why?
I signed a contract with LiFi Publications for my novel, Sparks of Memories, and it should be out sometime this year or the next. Not entirely sure when since the contract has a two-year window. If you like my stories you can always follow me on my blog: Aniesha's Musings.

Nobody does political scandals quite like the English. I live in Spain and we've had our share over the last few years, but for sheer entertainment value it's hard to compete with the Profumo Affair, Labour MP John Stonehouse's faked suicide, Jeffrey Archer and the prostitute, Jonathan Aitken and the Paris Ritz Hotel bill allegations, and David Cameron's notorious university initiation ceremony involving inserting a private part of his anatomy into the mouth of a dead pig. It is such a competitive field, but I still feel pride of place goes to the downfall of the charismatic leader of the Liberal party.
The story was told in a 2016 book called A Very English Scandal by John Preston. Curiously, in Wikipedia it is called it a true crime non-fiction novel. But no it is a work of non-fiction. Nevertheless, it turns out to be a real page turner with an amazing cast of characters. It was recently adapted into a three-part drama series by the BBC, which I can thoroughly recommend. Jeremy Thorpe was an MP by 30, and just seven years later he became one of Britain's youngest ever party leaders. he was a brilliant politician, who had an eccentric fashion sense and according to Preston, "favoured a cashmere overcoat with a velvet collar and, rather more eccentrically, a brown bowler hat." There was his lover, Norman Scott, who was mentally unstable and had a tendency to blame everyone but himself for his problems. There was Peter Bessell a fellow Liberal MP and a failed businessman, who took money from party funds to hire a hitman. The professional killer, Andrew Newton was known to his friends as chicken brain.
After a chance meeting in a friend's stable in 1960, Thorpe commenced a sexual relationship with a young man who was then called Norman Josiffe. He subsequently changed his surname to Scott, which was how he was known when he became famous. At the time homosexuality was still against the law. Once the affair was over Thorpe saw Scott as a blackmailer who could wreck his political career. The higher he climbed on the political ladder, the greater was the threat to his ambition from Scott.
After the break-up Scott found employment here and there, but he never really stuck at anything. He had a disastrous and brief marriage, and fathered a son who he was barely allowed to see. He often lived in poverty, and went through periods of severe mental illness that led to a suicide attempt. Given his financial difficulties, he would look to Thorpe, the man he blamed for everything that had gone wrong in his life. He was particularly obsessed with his National Insurance card, which he needed to get a job or benefits. Thorpe would wash his hands of his erstwhile lover and he would leave it all to Peter Bessell. By 1974 Thorpe was on the verge of joining a coalition with the Conservative leader Ted Heath, where he might have headed the home or Foreign Offices. That did no happen. Norman Scott would not go away. There were compromising letters and journalists sniffing around. Something would have to be done. Thorpe wanted to have Scott killed.
This is where it all descends into farce. Andrew "Gino" Newton, the man Thorpe's men chose for the job, was so incompetent that he went to look for Scott in Dunstable instead of Barnstaple. The former town is in Bedfordshire, where Newton would spend a couple of days before he was told he was in the wrong place. He then had to drive 230 miles to the north Devon town, where he finally found Scott. He persuaded him that he had been hired by an anonymous benefactor to protect him from a hired hitman
He too him in his car out to Exmoor First he shot Scott's Great Dane. He was then going to shoot his intended victim, but his gun jammed and Scott was able to get away. Newton had to speed off and Scott was able to hail down an approaching car. The first thing he said to the driver was that it was Jeremy Thorpe who was behind it all. The shooting of Rinka the Great Dane on October 23 1975 at a wet and windy lay-by on Exmoor had the opposite effect to what was intended. A scandal that may well have gone away would now wreck the career of Jeremy Thorpe. He would subsequently be arrested and would appear in court.
The trial began on the 8th May 1979, just five days after the election that saw Margaret Thatcher swept to power. Incredibly, Thorpe had stood in his own North Devon constituency, where he was defeated by the Conservative candidate. Another of those standing was the satirist Auberon Waugh who campaigned against Thorpe representing the Dog Lovers' Party. In an election address declared: "Rinka is not forgotten. Rinka lives. Woof, woof."
There were four defendants, but only Thorpe faced two charges. Thorpe hired a superstar lawyer, George Carman. He did a brilliant job of discrediting the three star witnesses – Bessell, Scott and Newton- as hypocritical, untrustworthy and amoral liars. Well it is true that they were not perhaps the most credible of witnesses to start with. His other stroke of genius was to persuade Thorpe not to testify. That could have been a real disaster.
The star of the show was the judge, the Honourable Sir Joseph Donaldson Cantley. His fair and ballanced summing-up has entered the annals of legal history:
"It is right for you to pause and consider whether it is likely that such persons would do the things these persons are said to have done. While the accused were of "hitherto unblemished reputation," Bessell was a "humbug" and Newton a "chump". As for Scott, he was "a hysterical, warped personality, accomplished sponger and very skilful at exciting and exploiting sympathy… he is a crook. He is a fraud. He is a sponger. He is a whiner. He is a parasite. But of course he could still be telling the truth… you must not think that because I am not concealing my opinion of Mr Scott I am suggesting that you should not believe him. That is not for me. I am not expressing any opinion."
This summing up was brilliantly satirised by Peter Cook in his Entirely A Matter For You sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyos-M48B8U
After deliberating for 52 hours, the jury unanimously acquitted all four men on all charges. The previously impassive Thorpe broke into a broad smile, tossed the three red cushions on which he had been reclining out of the dock, then leaned over and kissed his wife. 'Darling, we won!' he exclaimed to her, while he congratulated his old Oxford chum Carman with the words: 'Well rowed, Balliol!'
Despite his acquittal, Thorpe's reputation never recovered and he faded into obscurity. Had all this not happened, Thorpe would now be remembered as one of the most of the great politicians of his era. In an interview not long before his death in December 2014, he remarked: "If it happened now, the public would be kinder." He is surely right about attitudes to homosexuality – the past was another country. Yet it is amazing that the Rt Hon Jeremy Thorpe seemed blithely unaware that murdering someone might actually be wrong. In 2014 Michael Bloch published biography of Thorpe, which had had to wait until after his death. He said that Thorpe was a man with a massive sense of entitlement, who thought who thought the rules were for little people. He also had a penchant for illicit sex and got a thrill from being able to escape the consequences; he had a Houdini complex. In the end though, Scott would be his nemesis.

Real Madrid's three-peat
Just one week ago in Kiev Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 to win their third European Champions League in a row, and their fourth in five years. In American sports this is known as a three-peat. And a team with multiple successes is a sporting dynasty. Real Madrid are surely this. To put all this in context, until last season no team had been able to win back-to-back Champions League titles. 24 years of intense competition under the revamped format had produced a different winner every time. Not even Barcelona at their most brilliant managed to win the European Cup then do it again the following season. Last year's demolition of Juventus saw them break the champion's jinx. And now they have broken their own record. The recent burst of titles means that Real Madrid actually have a higher success rate – seven wins in 26 attempts than they did under the original format, where after winning the first five and one in 1966, they endured a drought of 32 years before winning their seventh title. That makes a record of six wins over 37 seasons. Indeed, the last time Real Madrid lost a European final was against Alex Fergusson's Aberdeen in 1983 – 35 years ago. Since then they have been in two UEFA Cup and seven Champions League finals winning all of them.
This success of the last 20 years is put in perspective by their role in the in their own league. Seven Champions league wins have been accompanied by "just" six league titles. In the same period Barcelona have four Champions leagues but eleven league titles. Bayern Munich have two Champions leagues and 14 Bundesligas. Juventus have just one Champions League, but they have won ten Serie A titles. This number would be twelve, but after the Calciopoli scandal they were stripped of the two titles won under Fabio Capello in 2005 and 2006. They were also relegated to Serie B for the first time in their history. Nevertheless, they won four more league titles than Real Madrid. How can a team that dominates in Europe not dominate at home?
A number of pundits have been less than generous in their appreciation. They are said to be lucky, but no team wins this tournament without a dose of luck. This fortune included the odd refereeing decision and Sergio Ramos injuring Mo Salah. Former Barça midfielder Xavi has invoked witches. I would agree that this is not a team like 1970s Ajax, Sacchi's AC Milan or Guardiola's Barcelona. But this team is different – they have not revolutionised football. But they do have the greatness of being competitive. They don't mind if other teams punch them in the face – they just get up, dust themselves off and keep fighting. Their German midfielder Toni Kroos summed it up before their semi-final tie in Munich:
"Many of our players played big games so we know how to stay calm in difficult situations because we know we can beat everyone. Even when we're not winning we can change the game. We've experienced all kinds of situations so we don't feel anxious."
After their unexpected debacle in this year's league the Champions League was their only chance; failure was not an option. This competitive DNA can sometimes seem to affect opponents three of their last four goals came from horrendous goalkeeping errors. Sven Ullrich must have thought that he had the worst goalkeeping error against Real Madrid in the 2017-18. Of course the second goal by Bale was out of this world.
Then we have the manager Zinedine Zidane. I have to say I wasn't especially optimistic when he was appointed. His results with Castilla were distinctly underwhelming. It shows how difficult it is to judge what makes a manager successful. Curiously he doesn't seem to fit the profile of what club chairman Florentino Perez wants. He seems to want the authoritarian types who crack the whip with their players. The chief exponent of this style was José Mourinho. But what seems to work are the more easy-going types, such as Del Bosque, Ancelotti and Zidane. Florentino has won 23 titles, 19 of which have been with these three trainers. I don't know if he is tactical genius, but he is an excellent man-manager. And after all the sterile controversies of the Mourinho years, Zidane was just the opposite, a wonderful ambassador for the club. In over 300 press conferences and in all his other dealings with the media he deployed his considerable charm. His skills will be sorely missed.
The future suddenly looks a bit more complex. It started minutes after the final whistle last Saturday, with Bale and Ronaldo both asking to leave. We will see who the new trainer is. Now Florentino will be coming to the fore. I can't say that fills me with optimism. I do rate him more in terms of the business and marketing areas, but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the first team. Recently there haven't been all these marquee signings so beloved of Florentino. There has been a more rational policy and this has coincided with the success. If you look at the Real Madrid midfield, it probably cost more or less the same as Pogba. I have a feeling that with a World Cup this summer the chequebook will be out again. Still, Barcelona with the great Leo Messi have won just one champions league since 2011 and are now eight trophies behind Real Madrid. And we have the three-peat to keep us going.

Twitter Social Media News
Sir Tim Berners Lee claims Twitter is for "extreme" opinions
By The Drum Team | Editorial
Internet pioneer Sir Tim Berners Lee has described the micro blogging service Twitter as a platform for people expressing extreme views at a conference debating the future of the web.
Describing the network as "not a place for reasoned discussion" Lee outlined a future in which all social networks communicate with each other, ending today's isolation on one platform.
Speaking at the Royal Society's new Web conference Lee said of his experiences on the service: "All the tweets were extreme. Is Twitter going to be a part of 'New Web'? We need something a bit more sophisticated."
Lee has become a standard bearer for a free and open web and is campaigning for greater communication across the web's newly formed "walled gardens" via his role at the W3C consortium.
