Islamophobia in India
Surveillance and Repression of Muslim Minorities: Xinjiang and Beyond
Islamophobia in India works to enable violence, subjugate, and intimidate Muslims as a threat to the nation, in several different registers — Indian Muslims as suspect citizens; Kashmiri Muslims as emphatically problematic always already terrorist Muslims; Muslim refugees such as Rohingyas as "invasive pests"; and the collective neighboring Muslim nation-state of Pakistan as an existential enemy.
Abstract, cracks with saffron and green (Hindu and Muslim associated colors), taken by author.
ith every passing year, Islamophobia in India is becoming more normalized and mainstream. To understand how and why the figure of "the Muslim" and the religion of Islam are seen as a threat to the nation in a country with nearly 80% Hindus, it is vital to comprehend the antecedents and manifestations of a form of contemporary resurgent majoritarian Hindu nationalism, otherwise known as Hindutva. Hindutva, or the assertion of Hindu-ness as a salient political identity seeks to construct the spatial idea of a pure nation and Hindu land, which needs to be secured against its external and internal enemies or Others. The Hindutva project in India predates the creation of postcolonial independent India through the partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan. Its origins can best be traced to the founding of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1925 and the subsequent expansion of a family of right-wing Hindu nationalist organizations collectively termed as the Sangh Parivar. Several prominent early RSS ideologues were admirers of Nazi Germany and advocated ethnic religious/Hindu nationalism in India.
Through several initial decades of post-colonial India, the Nehruvian idea of a secular socialist democratic republic remained dominant, however, by the early 1990s, a combination of various social and economic forces resulted in the ascendancy of Hindutva alongside an IMF mandated "opening up" of the economy through liberalization. Hindu nationalist leaders of the current ruling party, BJP, back in the 1990s established their credentials through a series of nationwide spectacles of Hindu power ("rath yatras", literally chariot processions) that culminated in the destruction of a historic mosque - Babri Masjid - in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. In December 1992, thousands of organized right-wing Hindu vigilante group volunteers converged on this ancient archaeological monument and demolished it to pave the way for a temple in the name of the Hindu God Ram at his birthplace Ayodhya. This single incident was a watershed moment in designating the subordinate existence of Muslims as Indians. Over the next decade, following the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the launch of the "War on Terror," global Islamophobia became well aligned with an indigenous Indian version. In 2002, under the chief ministership of Modi, the western Indian state of Gujarat witnessed horrific anti-Muslim riots. By 2014, the Hindu nationalists of the 1990s gave way to Modi-led BJP and its own galaxy of extremist politicians who had no qualms in openly professing to explicit anti-minority opinions, especially when it came to Muslims. In 2019, Modi-led BJP won a majority for the second time in a general election that was marked by a widespread anti-Muslim sentiment. The rest of the world has overwhelmingly stayed silent when it comes to the radical religious transformation in India, presumably since it is a "rising power," "democracy" and "market."

Like the other rising power, China, India has sought to suppress Muslim populations' rights, freedoms, and ability to dissent. The democratic credentials of India are persuasively undermined when it comes to the only Muslim majority region of Kashmir; formerly a state known as Jammu and Kashmir. India was once referred to as the "jewel in the crown of the British empire"; now, Kashmir is often referred to as the "crown" of India. In the feminized cartographic representation of India's geo-body, Kashmir is represented as the "head" of "Mother India," and any suggestion of Kashmiri self-determination is met with horror at the idea of "beheading Mother India." The obsession with Kashmir is overwhelmingly territorial, as evident in right wing extremist slogans such as "we will die or kill but we won't cede an inch of Kashmir." Recently, this territorial obsession took the form of unilaterally enforced concrete constitutional and legal changes. In August 2019, the state was converted into two union territories ("Jammu & Kashmir" and "Ladakh"), and its special autonomous status guaranteed under Article 370 of the Indian constitution (in recognition of the unsettled international/bilateral political dispute of Kashmir) was revoked. This abrogation of Article 370, the bifurcation, and the stripping of statehood, all of which fundamentally altered the legal and constitutional status of the territory and its inhabitants, was done overnight, and without any consent of the people. These changes were followed by a communications blockade that lasted several months and covered all forms of telephony and internet. The partial, arbitrary, and selective restrictions of this communications blockade still continue at the time of this writing in September 2020. In 2020, legal changes to the "domicile law" were effected, giving expedited permanent settlement status and rights to Indians in the territory, thus paving the way for demographic change. The rationales given for lack of consent and silencing of dissent in August 2019 were the familiar colonial ones: that it was being done for the "development" and modernization of the people and that it would bring more rights to Kashmiri women. The placing of Kashmir as the "crown" of territorial India and as integral to the very idea of India has led to the erasure of the specificities of Kashmiri Muslim identities.
The Hindutva project of the Indian nation, especially in its post 2014 extremist avatar under the helm of Prime Minister Modi and his associates, is transforming India into a culturally Hindu nation within a hierarchically ordered Hindu-ness with upper caste affluent Hindu males at the peak. In this new image, Muslims do not derive their rights and access to justice as equal, free individuals in a constitutionally guaranteed relation with the state, but from compliance with Hindu majoritarian norms. Those who challenge the diktats of Hindutva are labelled anti-national, Pakistani or Western agents. Depending upon the context and the vulnerability of the challengers, they can be killed, raped, physically attacked, maligned, harassed, bullied, or divested of any institutional or other power they may have.
Sacrality is invested in the idea of India as a Hindu land even as violence is used against minorities and dissidents. Islamophobia in India works to enable violence, subjugate, and intimidate Muslims as a threat to the nation, in several different registers — Indian Muslims as suspect citizens; Kashmiri Muslims as emphatically problematic always already terrorist Muslims; Muslim refugees, such as Rohingyas, as "invasive pests"; and the collective neighboring Muslim nation-state of Pakistan as an existential enemy. There is a powerful link between representational tropes and violence in each of these cases.
Other: Indian Muslims, Kashmiri Muslims, Muslim Refugees, Muslim Pakistan
Indian Muslims have been subject to widespread discrimination and violence. They are often represented as "unclean", "over populating", "backward", "unpatriotic", "scheming", "invaders", "outsiders." Evidence of this is not hard to find. As Muslims generally eat meat, the purity of vegetarian Hindus is understood to be defiled by them. The "beef ban" was enacted early in the Modi tenure. Since then, there have been numerous cases of violence against Muslims on the suspicion of possessing or eating beef, or transporting cattle intended for slaughter. The phenomenon of lynching minorities, and especially Muslims, became truly mainstream in recent years (cases such as Akhlaq or Pehlu Khan have come to be known after the names of their victims). There is a predictable pattern in these cases – organized right-wing Hindu vigilantes gather and kill Muslim Indians and the court cases against the perpetrators come to nothing as the suspects are exonerated on specious grounds.
In multiple instances, self-confessed Hindutva hate speech ideologues or instigators of violence are actually garlanded by their supporters when they are released from prison. Muslims are subject to violence if they refuse to chant Hindu slogans such as "Jai Shri Ram" (Hail to Ram, the Hindu God) in order to verify their patriotism. On the very day that Modi was elected in 2014, a Hindu mob killed a Muslim man in Pune because of his skull cap (a Muslim symbol). An extremist BJP politician, who shared a platform with a Hindu pride and masculinity advocate and suggested that Hindus exhume the graves of Muslim women and rape them, became the Chief Minister of India's electoral bellwether state of Uttar Pradesh. After 2014, perpetrators of well-evidenced gory violence against Muslims in the Gujarat genocide who had been convicted and sentenced to long prison terms have been given bail by the pliant courts (for instance, Babu Bajrangi in 2019, Maya Kodnani in 2018).
Hindutva organizations exhort Hindu women to have more babies so that the overpopulating Muslims do not take over the country. There are campaigns such as "Bahu Lao, Beti Bachao" (bring a daughter-in-law, save a daughter) that work towards ensuring Hindu women do not marry Muslim men. Muslim men are portrayed as rapacious, lascivious, devious, and scheming so that instances of marriage between a Muslim man and a Hindu woman are seen as the practice of "Love Jihad" (Jihad through the means of love) where a Muslim man intentionally corrupts the purity of Hindu women, and this results in such couples being intimidated, attacked or even killed. In a thoroughly patriarchal society like India, legal focus selectively targets the regressive and gendered practices of Muslim community as a way of confirming their backwardness. When India is imagined as a feminine spatial geo-body ("Mother India"), Muslims are represented as foreign to that body and hence deserving to be domesticated at best, and expelled or exterminated at worst.
The ideology of violent nationalism has captured the state and has conspicuous support amongst the public. It is ever more the case that apparatus of the state such as the police and judiciary act to support the Islamophobic anti-Muslim violence through delays in hearing cases or problematic judgements. After August 2019, the Supreme Court refused to hear the petition relating to the communications blockade in the Kashmir region for several months, thus collectively punishing Kashmiri Muslims and denying them access to necessary means of life and livelihood. In November 2019, the final Ayodhya verdict on the Babri Masjid gave the contested site to Hindus, citing a 1024 page-long anonymous Supreme Court judgement that unprecedentedly did not name the judge who wrote it. In September 2020, a special court acquitted all the BJP leaders for their role in the demolition of Babri Masjid by Hindu rioters.
In early 2020, protests against the December 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) were in full swing because the CAA changes would discriminate against only Muslim (but not Hindu or other religious) refugees from Pakistan and Afghanistan in the granting of Indian citizenship. The NRC exercise would be a massive bureaucratic endeavor to verify citizenship that would disproportionately affect the most marginalized in terms of their ability to produce all the documents required. These changes would simultaneously create a religious basis for citizenship to exclude Muslims, and also result in the creation of enforced statelessness on a scale of millions across the country. The construction of detention camps for those deemed non-citizens commenced in 2020, and the future is grim.
In February 2020, shortly after the visit of Brazil's Bolsonaro and when President Trump visited India to hold rallies with PM Modi in Gujarat, the anti-CAA/NRC protests, especially on university campuses, were met with severe violence. The capital city of Delhi saw targeted violence against Muslim neighborhoods, particularly those that have voted against the ruling Modi-led BJP in state elections. BJP leaders had used the slogan "Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maaro saalon ko" (translated loosely as: "these traitors to the nation, shoot those bastards"). At this time, video evidence emerged to show police brutality against Muslim protesters. In one horrific video, men of the Delhi police in uniform can be seen prodding injured Muslim protesters who lie dying on the ground; they are asked to sing a patriotic song and taunted with the word "Azaadi," or freedom. In spite of all the documented evidence, Muslim students are still being targeted for punishment.

Notwithstanding the disconnect between Indian Muslims and Kashmiri Muslims – as the former are required to continually prove their patriotism and commitment to the rhetoric of Kashmir being an integral part of India – there is hardly any systematic attempt even to assimilate Kashmiri Muslims, who are seen as radical Other. Kashmir Muslims are seen as the worst kind of Muslims, because they are Muslims from a Muslim majority region of India, which has witnessed a longstanding uprising against the Indian state, often with the support of Pakistan. The cause of Kashmir's Hindu minority (otherwise known as Kashmiri Pandits, many of whom had to leave the Valley during late 1980s/early 1990s in an exodus where the circumstances remain curiously un-investigated) is weaponized by the right-wing for political profit and to keep the Kashmiris divided along communal lines. This region, once seen as exotic and often feminized, has been subjected to extreme militarization and total surveillance along with decades of emergency powers that give effective immunity from prosecution to the armed forces (for example, the Armed Forces Special Powers Act). In spite of overwhelming evidence of continued human rights abuses and suppression of rights (enforced disappearances, mass rapes, preventive detention, arbitrary arrests, use of torture, media censorship, and so on), the Indian public, through restrictive and state-centric media coverage, only perceives this through the lens of terrorism, separatism, and possession of territory, even if it means extermination of people (a popular slogan is: "Doodh maango ge toh kheer denge, Kashmir maango ge, toh cheer denge'; literally, 'if you ask for milk, we will give you pudding, if you ask for Kashmir, we will tear you to bits").
In February 2013, in a case on the attack on the Indian parliament in 2001, the Kashmiri Muslim Afzal Guru was executed by hanging (a "rarest of rare" criterion) on the basis of circumstantial evidence (the only one sentenced to death from all the suspects), in a judgement that included the phrase "to satisfy the collective conscience of the nation". His family was not informed prior to his execution, and his body was buried in prison in Delhi. Subsequently, in 2016, student leaders at University campuses like the JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) were charged with sedition for having raised slogans in support of freedom for Kashmir; members of the legal fraternity carried out processions in the capital city against the students, who were attacked and pelted with stones within the court premises. In the summer of 2016, Muslim majority Kashmir Valley protestors and civilians including children were subject to mass pellet-blindings after the extrajudicial killing of a Kashmiri militant. In 2017, a Kashmiri Muslim man was tied to the front of a jeep and used as a human shield by an Indian Army major who was awarded for his bravery for having done so. These are just a few of the many instances of individual and systemic violence, and dehumanization of Kashmiris.

Dissenters in India are often labelled anti-national, subject to intimidation, vilification and character assassination, and asked to "go to Pakistan." This existential othering of Muslim Pakistan assists in the cause of creating a Hindu India. It has also presented itself as a surefire way of gaining electoral victory based on Anti-Pakistan hyper-nationalism, as was the case in the 2019 general elections where Pulwama attacks in Kashmir and exchange of hostilities with Pakistan played a major role in ensuring the BJP's success. Muslims in India are faced with a rhetoric linked to the global war on terror as demonstrated in the trope that "Muslims are a problem wherever they are". Every action of Muslims is interpreted within the Islamophobic context — in 2020, Muslims were even accused of carrying out CoronaJihad to deliberately spread the virus in India. There is a documented use of technology, and especially social media and WhatsApp, to circulate and intensify Islamophobic hate. In recent years, BJP legislators have openly used hate speech against Muslims who are, or are perceived to be (because they are undocumented Indian Muslims), Rohingya refugees or from Bangladesh. The current Indian Home Minister, and Modi's right-hand man, Amit Shah, has more than once referred to Muslim migrants as termites, promising to throw them into the Bay of Bengal.
Islamophobia in India is multidimensional, pervasive, deeply rooted, and dangerously ascendant, especially in the ways that affect marginalized Muslim populations in economically deprived or politically conflicted regions. Muslims in India have to contend with racist stereotypes, prove their patriotism, face increasing physical and symbolic violence, and still be seen as latent Pakistani stooges or probable non-citizen migrants or refugees. What Muslims face in India, and in Kashmir in the name of India, is egregious violation of rights and accelerating violence; this is exacerbated both by the use of technology in the form of surveillance and large-scale data registers, restrictions on Internet use, social media hate, and newer "non-lethal crowd control" style weaponry, and by developing infrastructures such as detention camps or enacting legislation to enable land grabs or demographic change.
For Modi, China is complexio oppositorum, as he both contrasts his majoritarian nationalism with forms of rule in China and emulates aspects of them. Thus on the one hand, the Indian government is legitimated as democratic, while China is communist and authoritarian; while on the other, Modi is a Chinese style leader who can cut through the worthless noise of democracy. Contrapuntally, the Left in India is tied to old ideas about the Chinese state, and though critical of Modi, does not speak up on Chinese repression in Xinjiang.
The ethnic and religious chauvinism and punitive regimes of surveillance and repression of minority and Muslim populations in the practices of these two rising powers, China and India, are simultaneously different and alike. On the question of human rights, both combine maintaining economic relationships and sustaining religious and ethnic persecution. The international community often won't speak about people in Kashmir or Xinjiang because the people in these places are strongly against these regimes of power. Analogously, the global war on terror and continued Islamophobia as underscored by speech acts and policies of leaders such as Trump has meant continued use of terror as a master narrative against persecuted populations. Addressing the denial of rights of marginalized and oppressed Muslim minorities globally, thus, requires us to engage with these multiple contexts in order to develop transregional understanding of challenges, learning, and solidarities.

Relations of Power: The U.S. Capitol Insurrection, White Supremacy and US Democracy
To locate white supremacy within the realm of militias, mobs, and Trumpism not only misunderstands white supremacy as a structuring relation, but also reinforces it by reducing it to the extraordinary and spectacular, and within the worldview of extremists. Rather, we maintain that white supremacy must be understood as a political economic and racial project that spans ideologies and political commitments within the operations of the liberal, settler state.

The Sense of Brown, review by Moon Charania
Sense of Brown is more than a sketch of brownness as an ontology of relations; it is an opportunity to sit inside Muñoz's writing and thinking space, an almost wistful feeling of being in his thoughts as they formed, as they firmed. Reading Muñoz's essays invokes a meditative feeling, one gets a sense that Muñoz was reflecting on his ideas, the drafty in/coherence of this ensemble reveal the essay as process.

The rhythms of "acostumbrarse": Noticing quiet hydro-politics in Colombia's Caribbean coast
In conversation with Black and Caribbean Studies intellect and poetics, we first problematize how dominant ways of writing about black harm not only reproduce anti-black violence but also neglect the desires of quiet sovereignty in the experience of harm. Second, we re-story Leticia's sociality as immanent and acostumbrarse as a collective politics of perseverance that ebbs and flows in this hydro-sociality.

Racial regimes of property: Introduction to the special issue
The authors seek to trouble the rigidity of relations of domination so often portrayed in critical property studies, instead bringing to light the tenuousness, ambiguity, and messiness of the property-racial matrix, and the forms of resistance and refusal that render imaginative futures beyond property. It is one of the chief contentions of this special issue that while they may seem hegemonic and fixed, racial regimes of property are inherently unstable, constantly subject to undoing through and beyond their own internal logics.

Solution Shaper: Sherri Schultz — an advocate for living small
Adam Duvernay @DuvernayOR
Dec 28, 2019 at 6:10 PM Dec 30, 2019 at 8:19 AM
She's the founder of Springfield/Eugene MicroDwellers, an activism organization interested in promoting smaller, more affordable local housing options.
Rent is expected to remain high in Eugene during the new year and there still will be too few places to house people, so Sherri Schultz will continue what she began in 2019 by pushing local residents and leaders to explore and implement micro-housing solutions.
A University of Oregon graduate and a semi-retired book editor, Schultz recently came back to Eugene with the intention of living small. She found a home at the Collegian, an off-campus dormitory, but Schultz said she's been surprised to learn that there are few other micro-housing options in Eugene.
"Because I've lived in other cities that have done something about affordable housing, and because I've been an editor of books on sustainability, I knew about all of these solutions for more affordable ways of living, none of which seem to be either pursued here or they were actively blocked," she said. "Eugene is so hostile to housing innovation. And, really, that needs to change."
Eugene has yet to enshrine in local law new rules that would make it easier to build and rent backyard units, sometimes called granny flats or accessory dwelling units, as required by state law. Oregon cities such as Bend and Portland have loosened their regulations and costs for building ADUs, leading to an increased number of permits issued for backyard rentals, which make existing neighborhoods denser without need for new construction.
While Eugene has successfully built tiny home villages for a small number of its poorest residents, and while traditional home construction is ongoing, the city has not expanded its urban growth boundaries for new residential growth. Eugene is considered a "severely rent burdened city," meaning at least 25% of its renter households spend more than 50% of their income on rent — something Schultz says requires local housing activism to fix.
That activism, she believes, means teaching people they can live in spaces even smaller than studio apartments, such as ADUs, tiny houses and communal dormitories such as the Collegian. And beyond education, Schultz says it's become her mission to assure Eugene makes that possible.
This summer, Schultz founded Springfield/Eugene MicroDwellers, a group now grown to more than 100 members attending local meetups and tours of small-living options around town. Schultz said the group's goal is to create a "visible constituency," bringing their voices together to effect real change.
"I was reaching out to people like me who wanted to be microdwellers, but we have probably as many people who are homeowners wanting to figure out how to house more people on their property," Schultz said. "I know that there are a lot of people who want to do this."
Schultz is hoping Springfield/Eugene MicroDwellers soon will get its first grant to hire someone to research the feasibility of a local home sharing program. But more than anything, Schultz wants the group she describes as partly a social club to take civic action that will remove roadblocks to smaller homes appearing as a more feasible option in Eugene — her priority is electing a city council that will move forward on smaller housing.
Springfield/Eugene MicroDwellers meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month at Viking Braggot Company, 2490 Willamette St.

I am trying to create a PI tag that represents our current mine schedule. I have used the Legacy DevNet "Shift Rotation Calculations" to create the appropriate tags for a 21 day rotation, they work great. However, our mine works 10 hour shifts and we have 6 crews, A-F. These crews will work either Wednesday - Saturday, or Sunday - Monday. Here is the part I am struggling with. Every President's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving they swap from the Wednesday - Saturday schedule to the Sunday - Wednesday schedule or Sunday - Wednesday schedule to Wednesday - Saturday. An example of one of these swaps is shown below.
I think that if I can define these periods, a simple if..then can be used to choose the appropriate 21 day cycle.
I would consider to do something similar like what you have suggested, identify the period with the holiday dates and have an additional if..then statement in the PE tag to determine which cycle to use for that day.
Another alternative that I would consider would be using ACE, then the period can be determined within the ACE program and the calculation can be based on which period the day of calculation fall on.
...as a result you will get this "Calc Failed" value in the PE tag, due to the "holiday" tag being in "Shutdown" or a similar status (and it has been for the last 6 months - it stopped working and nobody took care of bringing it back to life ).
With that said, I would definitely recommend doing that in a PI ACE Module.
PI ACE typically is a "well known" beast and is managed by whoever administers the PI System. That means it is likely being backed up, the processes are known, the source code is readily available.
Writing to a PI Server may seem trivial but involves a lot to be totally reliable: how about buffering in case the PI Server is not available at that moment (e.g. network connectivity issue)? what if it's a PI Server Collective - or become one over time? ...PI ACE takes care of all that.
Because PI ACE is leveraging Visual Studio, it allows you to do everything - complex calculations or querying the web service - in the same spot. Hence, no "cascading" of regular and PE tags to accomplish something relatively simple, or multiple isolated processes that rely on each other.
Please do not hesitate to post your PI ACE development or generic .NET development questions (e.g. for the web service) in the related discussion forums.
That is true, often we get into situations where the people that had managed the system leaving the company, and people who take over did not have any idea what has been setup and the system becomes a blackbox.

Cranberry Extract Disrupts Harmful Bacteria's Ability to Communicate, Spread and Become Virulent
New Study Shows Promise for Blunting the Spread of Hard-to-Fight Bacterial Infections
The Cranberry Institute
Oct 25, 2016, 08:42 ET
CARVER, Mass., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists from McGill University and INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier in Canada recently released a novel investigation showing that cranberry extract successfully interrupted the communication between bacteria associated with problematic and pervasive infections. The authors of the data published in Nature's Scientific Reports, Eric Déziel, professor-investigator at INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier and Nathalie Tufenkji, professor at McGill University, state that not only do the results provide insights into how cranberry compounds may work, they also have implications for the development of alternative approaches to control infections.
Previously published work has shown that the American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon L) contains compounds – such as proanthocyanidins (PACs) – that provide meaningful antioxidant, anti-adhesion and anti-microbial properties that help fend off illness. Given this, the scientific team hypothesized that cranberries may also have an anti-virulence potential. They wanted to know if these cranberry compounds could help manage bacterial infections. By feeding fruit flies – a commonly used model for studying human infections – cranberry extract, the team discovered that cranberry provided flies protection from a bacterial infection and they lived longer than their cranberry-free counterparts. In essence, the cranberry extract reduced the severity of the bacterial infection.
Study author, Dr. Tufenkji, elaborates on what this might mean for humans, as opposed to flies, "This means that cranberries could be part of the arsenal used to manage infections and potentially minimize the dependence on antibiotics for the global public."
To further explain cranberries' impact on bacteria, Dr. Déziel said, "Cranberry PACs interrupt the ability for bacteria to communicate with each other, spread and become virulent – a process known as quorum sensing. The cranberry extract successfully interferes with the chain of events associated with the spread and severity of chronic bacterial infections."
Added to the evidence of cranberry's role in preventing recurrent urinary tract infections by blocking bacteria from sticking to cell walls, the current study suggests that PACs may help control the virulence or spread of potentially dangerous bacterial infections around the world.
The complete study can be accessed here: Cranberry-derived proanthocyanidins impair virulence and inhibit quorum sensing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
This investigation was supported by unrestricted support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Wisconsin Cranberry Board and the Cranberry Institute. The cranberry extract was provided by Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc.

Aim and Objectives: To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of 20% propolis and 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwashes in patients with gingivitis.
Materials and Methods: A total number of 40 subjects were randomly divided into two groups i.e. Group 1 and Group 2 including 20 subjects in each group. Group 1 was prescribed with 20% Propolis mouth wash and Group 2 was prescribed with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash for 2 weeks. Subjects were assessed for clinical parameters such as plaque and gingival index at baseline and after 2 weeks followed by a wash out period of 30 days and further the mouth washes were exchanged between the two groups and the same clinical parameters were re-recorded at baseline and after 2 weeks follow up.
Statistical Analysis: Paired and unpaired 't' test were used for intragroup and intergroup comparison between the two groups. Statistically significant results were observed at the baseline and after 2 weeks in both the groups.
Results: Based on the present data, 20% propolis containing mouthwash and 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate were equally effective in the treatment of gingivitis.
Conclusion: 20% propolis containing mouthwash has a promising plaque inhibitory potential and as effective as 0.2% chlorohexidine gluconate in preventing gingivitis as well as plaque control.

Metuchen hires Warnock as head football coach
Metuchen hires Warnock as head football coach Metuchen hires Warnock as head football coach Check out this story on mycentraljersey.com: http://mycj.co/2sZZkhI

Mike Warnock(Photo: ~submitted photo)
Mike Warnock may have never played a single down of organized football, but the experience he gained as a veteran assistant combined with his analytical mind as a math teacher positioned him well to become Metuchen High School's new head coach.
The Board of Education on Tuesday night unanimously approved Warnock as the successor to Bob Ulmer, who resigned earlier this year to spend more time with his family.
Warnock, who will begin his 15th year as a math teacher at Metuchen in September, served as an assistant coach under Ulmer for six seasons (2004-09) and spent the past seven seasons (2010-16) as an assistant under Rich McGlynn at Highland Park.
"I'm very excited for him because I know this is something that he's always wanted, and at the same time I'm going to miss his presence every day," McGlynn said. "I don't think there's a situation that could occur at Metuchen this season that Mike Warnock isn't prepared for. He's a wonderful human being, and with all the principles he has as a father and a teacher, he's going to be a great head coach."
Warnock, who graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1999 and St. Joseph University in 2003, played lacrosse and intramural flag football in high school.
"Having played the game is not necessarily a prerequisite," said NJSIAA and NJFCA Hall of Fame head coach Marcus Borden, now the football analyst for MyCentralJersey.com, who noted Warnock has worked alongside some outstanding gridiron mentors including Joe Policastro and Ned Ennis, longtime head coaches at Highland Park and Metuchen, respectively, who stepped down and became assistants.
"I think he's probably been around, in my estimation, one of the most experienced of all the coaching staffs in Middlesex County," Borden said, referring to Ulmer's staff that featured Ennis and others. "Having experience with Policastro, a longtime veteran at Highland Park, he's certainly had some great mentors."
McGlynn said Warnock, who primarily coached the offensive and defensive lines, but was involved with virtually every aspect of Highland Park's program, has grown tremendously as a coach in the past seven years.
"He walked in as a young coach, and really didn't know too much," McGlynn said. "With me, he was like a sponge. He wanted to know everything. He asked a lot of questions. He would go everywhere and anywhere with me to learn the game."
McGlynn said he has spoken with Warnock extensively in the weeks leading up to his hiring at Metuchen.
"One of the things I told him is to make sure he's going to marry the Pop Warner program over there," McGlynn said. "The (varsity) head coach has to put the time in (at the youth level). The (high school kids) are going to relate to him because he's in the building. He's going to be there for the long haul. I have never met anyone as loyal as Mike Warnock."
Metuchen Athletics Director John Cathcart said hiring a head football coach who teaches in the building was a priority.
"It's always important to have your coaches in the building because the kids need access to them," Cathcart said. "Mike's been at Metuchen a long time. He's vested in the school. It (hiring Warnock) is really a win-win situation for us. The kids respond to him very well. If there is an issue or something comes up, they know they can come to see him."
Warnock said he has contemplated applying for a head coaching position in recent years, adding that "if the right opportunity comes" he was "going to jump at it."
"Sure enough, when Bob told me he was stepping down, I thought this is a sign. This is it. I'm going for it. I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity. Being around the sport for 13 years (as an assistant), especially in a small program, you learn so much more with the number of different hats you are expected to wear. You are always doing something, always seeing it from a new perspective, taking different approaches. The more you do, the more you learn, the more you see (what works)."
Warnock said his chief responsibilities include increasing the numbers in the football program while working with coaches of other teams to encourage student-athletes to play multiple sports.
"Last year they finished with numbers a little on the low side," said Warnock, noting Metuchen graduates about 10 seniors including Marshall University signee Devin Miller (tight end/defensive end), reigning team Most Valuable Player Cam McPartlan (offensive tackle/defensive line) and leading rusher Willi Rojas (tailback/cornerback).
"Hopefully, we can bring the numbers back. It's real exciting and something that I look forward to having a chance to be able to do."
Having assisted previously at two Group I programs, Warnock said he understands the challenges of coaching at a small high school, adding that he could not have had better mentors than McGlynn and Ulmer.
"Having a chance to work with them was a treat," Warnock said, noting McGlynn and Ulmer "have a passion and excitement for the sport" and that he has "never seen two guys work harder to try to get kids involved."
"Their energy level made it a really great thing to be a part of both of those staffs. It's more than just being there and being together. These guys are not just co-workers, they are friends of mine. It's more than just coaching together. It's the idea of loyalty and friendship. Both (McGlynn and Ulmer) are giving me their blessing and are excited for me having this opportunity."
Ulmer, who will make himself available to help Warnock make a near seamless transition, compiled a 20-20 record over the past four years, his second stint as Metuchen's head coach.
The Bulldogs had consecutive winning seasons in 2014 (6-4) and 2015 (7-3). They qualified for the postseason in 2014, falling in the opening round of the Central Group I playoffs to eventual sectional finalist South Hunterdon, and failed to receive a playoff berth in Central Group II a year later due to what many believed at the time was a flawed power points system.
Metuchen finished 3-7 last year, winning two of its last three games to snap a five-game losing streak.
"Maybe not right away," McGlynn said, "but (Warnock) is going to leave his mark at Metuchen as time goes on."
Warnock resides in Sayreville with Kelli, his wife of 10 years, and their 6-year-old son Chase and 4-year-old daughter Rilynn.

Душан Грк (Кљенци, код Стоца, 7. април 1906 — Подгорица, 15. март 1994), учесник Народноослободилачке борбе, друштвено-политички радник СФР Југославије и СР Босне и Херцеговине и народни херој Југославије.

Биографија
Рођен је 7. априла 1906. године у селу Кљенци код Стоца. Рано је остао без родитеља, па се од ране младости бринуо за вишечлану породицу. До Другог светског рата радио је као земљорадник, сезонски радник и шофер.

За време Априлског рата 1941, налазио се у 61. пуку, као командир топовског одељења. До 16. априла је учествовао у борбама против италијанске војске код Скадра, након чега се вратио кући.

После капитулације Југославије, укључио се у припреме за оружани устанак. Учествовао је у формирању устаничке чете из општина Дивин и Берковићи. Ова чета је обезбеђивала велики збег становништва у селу Јабуке, између Кубаша и Засаде, а 27. јула је поразила усташе код Предоља. Крајем августа, Душан је са својом четом учествовао у разбијању усташко-домобранских гарнизона у Берковићима, Дивину, Плани и Билећи.

У септембру и октобру, Душан је радио на оснивању и организовању партизанских јединица. У октобру је примљен за члана Комунистичке партије Југославије. Тада је био командир партизанске чете у Милавићима. Крајем децембра, био је постављен за политичког комесара Столачког партизанског батаљона. Крајем марта 1942. године, био је постављен за заменика команданта Јужнохерцеговачког партизанског одреда. Душан је у овом одреду учествовао у успешним борбама против италијанских и усташких јединица код Храсна и Пребиловца крајем априла и почетком маја 1942. године.

Од марта 1942. године, Грк је био члан Среског комитета КПЈ за Столац и политички радник на терену. Крајем маја, четници и италијански војници су напали партизанску болницу у Звијерини и заробили неколико партизанских руководилцаца, међу којима и Душана. Исте ноћи успео је да побегне из затвора и са групом бораца пробио се до Оперативног штаба НОПО за Херцеговину. Затим је са херцеговачким и делом снага Прве пролетерске бригаде учествовао у разбијању четника и ослобађању партизанске болнице.

Јуна 1942, после повлачења из Херцеговине, Душан је био постављен за заменика команданта Првог батаљона Десете херцеговачке бригаде, а од октобра је био командант батаљона. Почетком јануара 1943, по наређењу Штаба Десете херцеговачке бригаде и одобрењу Централног комитета КПЈ, био је упућен из Модрика на Влашићу са групом бораца на партијски рад у Херцеговину, са задатком да окупи и повеже партијске организације. Пошто је крајем јануара 1943. стигао, у столачком крају је повезао партијске организације и формирао Јужнохерцеговачки партизански одред. Тада је био изабран и за члана Окружног комитета КПЈ за средњу Херцеговину.

После продора Десете херцеговачке бригаде у Херцеговину априла 1943, Јужнохерцеговачки одред је као батаљон ушао у састав бригаде, а Душан је био постављен за његовог команданта. Батаљон је учествовао у свим борбама бригаде током Битке на Сутјесци.

После повратка у Херцеговину крајем јуна 1943, Душан је постао члан Среског комитета КПЈ за Столац. Од октобра је био председник Среског НОО-а, а од 1944. Окружног НОО-а за јужну Херцеговину и члан Окружног комитета КПЈ за јужну Херцеговину. Од септембра 1944, био је члан Обласног одбора НОФ-а за Херцеговину и Обласне народноослобдилачке скупштине за Херцеговину. Био је и већник и члан ЗАВНОБиХ-а и АВНОЈ-а. Од краја 1944. до октобра 1945. године, био је председник Обласног одбора НОФ-а Херцеговину.

После рата, вршио је многе одговорне дужности у Стоцу и Мостару, а поред тога је био и члан Главног одбора ССРН БиХ од 1947. до 1960, члан Савезног одбора ССРН Југославије, члан Главног одбора СУБНОР БиХ до 1973. и члан Савезног одбора СУБНОР-а Југославије. Био је посланик републичке и Савезне скупштине у више сазива.

Умро је 15. марта 1994. године у Подгорици. Сахрањен је у Алеји народних хероја на Новом гробљу у Београду.

Носилац је Партизанске споменице 1941. и многих југословенских одликовања. Орденом народног хероја одликован је 23. јула 1952. године.

I've been sick all morning. I've felt sick to my stomach and dizzy. I didn't get to eat a lot yesterday, and maybe my blood sugar is just low. I really really have to do well on my mid-term tomorrow for my music tech class. I'm pretty sure I understand all of it but I just have to remember all the songs on my listening portion. It's kinda like taking art-history and having to remember the painter and the name of the painting, just instead of seeing it you have to hear it. The only time when I have any trouble is when he only plays a short part of the song.
You may be right. I'll try and calm down.

I recently build the second, cheaper cooler with a styrofoam cooler. It does lower the temperature in a small, enclosed room 2-3 degrees. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
In the "old days" in Arizona you cooled you home by hanging wet burlap bags in an open window. As the breeze moved through the porous bag material it cooled by evaporation Why not use use gently wadded up burlap in a cooler partially filled with water instead of Ice. Power it with the 12 volt fan and a vent at the opposite end as is been illustrated above.
FOR THESE THERE SHOULD BE A DIAGRAM INCLUDED.
That's my biggest beef with most of the articles they post.

CBS' disgraced former boss Les Moonves gave up $22 million in compensation last year after being ousted over sexual misconduct allegations, the company said Friday.
Moonves, who was one of the highest-paid chief executives in show business, made $47.1 million last year, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
But the former chairman and CEO also forfeited $34.5 million in stock awards and another $8 million in stock benefits, bringing his payday to just $12.5 million.
That's a paltry sum compared with the $69 million he earned in 2017 and 2016.
Moonves resigned in September after The New Yorker magazine published two separate reports in which 12 women alleged that the media mogul sexually harassed, intimidated or assaulted them. The exec was denied a severance package of $120 million following an independent investigation into his conduct.
In December, the CBS board concluded that Moonves should be "fired for cause." The exec, who has maintained his innocence, is pursuing arbitration.
Since his departure, the CBS board has been searching for a permanent CEO. One of the candidates is Moonves' former number two, Joe Ianniello, who is filling in as interim CEO.
According to the filing, Ianniello's total compensation hit $27.4 million in 2018, up from $22.1 million in 2017, when he was chief operating officer.
In addition to searching for a new CEO, the CBS board — which is largely made up of new members since Moonves resigned — is mulling strategic options, including a merger with sister company Viacom.
Both companies are controlled by the Sumner Redstone family through National Amusements Inc.


Due to their well-known therapeutic value, grapes can be used as a cure for asthma.
Grapes are a wonderful source of micro-nutrients like copper, iron, and manganese, all of which are important in the formation and strengthening of the bones.
Grapes increase the nitric oxide levels in the blood, which prevents blood clots. Therefore, grapes are an effective way to reduce the chances of heart attacks.
Grapes are very effective in overcoming and eliminating constipation.
Grapes can substantially reduce the acidity of uric acid and they also help to eliminate acid from the system, thereby reducing the stress and pressure on the kidneys.
Red grapes have strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties that can protect you from infections.
Do not wash vegetables before storing in the refrigerator. The moisture on the surface of the vegetable makes them decay faster. So, wash the vegetable before using it.

History of the Spanish Order of Calatrava
Calatrava Cross
New Calatrava
Internal strife
Maximum bloom and decline
The Spanish Order of Calatrava is a military Catholic order that existed in the 12th-19th centuries. It was founded by the Cistercians, who branched off in the 11th century. from the Benedictines and in 1157 in Castile was the first of the Catholic on Spanish soil. In 1164 it was approved by Pope Alexander III. In 1838, the order ceased to exist, having been nationalized by the Spanish crown. The history of the Order of Calatrava will be discussed in the article.
Archbishop Rodrigo of Toledo wrote about the emergence of the order, who communicated with its living creators. Calatrava is a Moorish castle located in the southern outskirts of Castile. It was recaptured in 1147 by King Alfonso VII of Castile.
However, keeping the newly acquired land was quite problematic. Even kings could not maintain permanent garrisons. This contributed to the rise of militant orders. First, the Templars took up the defense of Calatrava, but were forced to retreat, surrendering the castle to the enemy.
After that, Raymond, the abbot of the Cistercian monastery located in Fitero, helped the king. It relied on the monk-knights, led by Diego Velazquez, who had military ability, and the newly emerged education - "lay brothers".
The latter were, in fact, monastic peasants capable of carrying weapons. These groups were at the heart of the establishment of a new order in 1157 under the auspices of King Alfonso.
Having settled in the fortress, the knights sought to expand the order's possessions at the expense of the Moors. In 1163, after the death of Raymond, the knight Don Garcia became the organizer of the first offensive sorties. After that, some of the monks, dissatisfied with the militarization, left the fortress. Diego Velasquez and a few of the clerics remained with the knights. According to the papal charter of 1164, Velasquez took the title of prior. In 1187, a special charter was issued by Pope Gregory VIII, additionally asserting the rights of the order.
In it, various restrictions and vows were imposed on the knights of the Calatrava order. Among others, there were demands that you need to sleep in battle armor, walk in white Cistercian robes. They had a red cross made up of lily flowers - the Calatrava cross. Organizationally, the order was not subordinate to the chapter, not to the Spanish bishops, but, like the Fitero monastery, located in Burgundy, Morimon Abbey.
The first order campaigns were victorious, and the king of Castile generously rewardedknights. Later, in 1179, they also served the king of Aragon. Then came a series of defeats. In 1195, at the battle of Alarkos, the knights had to lay down their arms and hand over Calatrava to the Moors. Prior Velázquez died the following year.
After recruiting new fighters, the Order of Calatrava managed to recuperate. A new castle was built in Salvatierra, after which, for 14 years, the order was called the Knights of Salvatierra. This fortress fell to the Moors in 1211. After the crusade of 1212, the knights returned Calatrava. In 1218, the order was moved to a new center. It was New Calatrava, which was built eight miles from the old one, in a place that was safer.
In the 13th century, the Order of Calatrava becomes the largest military force in Spain. He is able to put on the battlefield from 1,200 to 2,000 warrior knights. His we alth and prosperity at the beginning of the 14th century. leads to clashes of a political nature, to dual power, to frequent changes of priors. For example, Garcia Lopez was elevated to the rank of prior three times and deposed twice.
As a result, he transferred power to another candidate and died naturally in 1336. There was an open conflict between King Pedro I and the order. Three priors in a row had to lay down their heads on the royal chopping block, they were accused of treason, and the fourth died in captivity. In the same period, the kings began to take an active part in the appointment of the head of the Order of Calatrava.
Under the Master of the Order, Pedro Giron, as well asunder his son, his greatest flowering was observed. The order controlled 56 commanderies plus 16 priories, or curiae. More than two hundred thousand peasants worked for him, and his annual profit reached fifty thousand ducats. In the war that broke out between Portugal and Aragon, the knights fought for the last time on the battlefield, siding with Aragon.
With the approval of the Pope in 1487, the leadership of the order was seized by King Ferdinand the Catholic. The need for a powerful military unit disappeared after the capture of Granada in 1492. It was the last Moorish fortress on the peninsula.
Pope Paul III actually removed the knights from the monastic class. For them, the vow of celibacy was replaced by an oath of marital fidelity. Pope Julius III issued a decree allowing knights to acquire real estate.
By the end of the 14th century. the order of Calatrava actually transformed into a nominal holder of land that generated income. They were distributed by the king among trusted high-ranking officials. In 1838, after a series of confiscations carried out under the Bourbons (1775) and under the reign of Joseph Bonaparte (1808), the order was finally abolished.

From tools and vehicles, laundry detergents and oil stains, heavy storage bins and appliances, garage floors are often exposed to the most punishment in any house. Subjecting a concrete garage floor to heavy use would warrant constant patchworking and maintenance to keep a safe and aesthetically-pleasing garage.
Why not invest in an epoxy coating for your garage? Epoxy coatings can take a lot of punishment, look clean, and ensure a safe work surface. It could withstand heavy weights (such as your vehicle or storage bins) and can withstand high temperatures and retain its quality even when installed in homes near the deserts in Utah.
Epoxy floors' price range varies depending on its quality and properties (such as being scratch-proof, high-heat resistant, static protection, etc.). The higher the quality, the more costly they often go for. However, if you factor in the regular maintenance and patchwork/repairs required by other less-durable floorings, you'd be saving up a lot more even if you go for the high-quality options.
Epoxy floors boast being resistant to a plethora of substances that are normally found in a garage such as oil, gasoline, cleansers, transmission fluids, which is why epoxy floors are used often in the automotive industry. It's also heat, water, and scratch resistant, and could even handle more caustic chemicals without staining.
In line with its resistant properties, epoxy floors offer a level of safety and sanitation that other flooring options can't. Most epoxy floors are slip-resistant, making it ideal for manufacturing facilities, and more so for garages. Its reflective surface also enhances light, brightening up your garage and making it safer to work on your vehicle or other projects. Hospitals choose epoxy coating since they are bacteria and germ resistant, so they're easier to sanitize; subsequently, having a sanitary garage would ensure the health of you and your family.
Epoxy lasts longer than most floors, and with proper maintenance, it would require the least amount of repairs or retouches. But even with minimal maintenance, epoxy could last decades without cracking.
Epoxy floors, compared to regular concrete floors, are more aesthetically pleasing and provides a somehow more productive atmosphere — such as that of an industrial or manufacturing facility. There are also options to have your epoxy coated garage floor decorated with a pattern, or even customized it with your state's sports logo, say, the Utah Jazz or Real Salt Lake logo.
Instead of replacing your damaged cement/concrete floors, you could just apply an epoxy coating to your current floor and avoid the effort, as well as eliminating the need to dispose of the materials from the cement/concrete and avoid waste.
Epoxy coating not only looks pristine, but it's easier to preserve, more durable, lasts longer, and cheaper (even the more expensive options would have you save more in the long run by having fewer repairs and retouches required). So take the smart option and have one installed for your garage floor. You won't regret it!

Tokyo Olympics: India's Hockey Win Holds Key Lesson For Women's Sport
Priya Ramani
8:16 AM IST, 03 Aug 2021 8:16 AM IST, 03 Aug 2021 8:16 AM IST, 03 Aug 2021 8:16 AM IST, 03 Aug 2021
Pritam Rani Siwach's phone has been ringing off the hook since the Indian women's hockey team knocked out world number 2 Australia to make it to the Olympic semi-final for the first time ever. Midway through our conversation, she puts me on hold to answer the local MLA's call. When she returns a few minutes later, I ask her what he wanted.

Pritam Rani Siwach's phone has been ringing off the hook since the Indian women's hockey team knocked out world number 2 Australia to make it to the Olympic semi-final for the first time ever. Midway through our conversation, she puts me on hold to answer the local MLA's call. When she returns a few minutes later, I ask her what he wanted. "He said I'll come to your hockey ground to distribute laddoos," she says. "I told him laddoos are great but please also clear my long-pending request for astroturf."
In India, a hockey legend can be born when a grandmother borrows a hockey stick so her insistent granddaughter can start playing the game. Years later, Siwach led the Indian team to win a silver at the 1998 Asian Games, agreed to marry a fellow hockey player only after he assured her she wouldn't have to stop playing, had a child and, in 2002, left her seven-month-old at home and returned to captain India to a gold in the 2002 Commonwealth Games. She continued playing after her second child was born.
For nearly two decades now, the couple has run a free hockey academy in Sonepat, Haryana. Academy may sound fancy for a grassy field and a basic two-room structure (a changing room and a makeshift gym) with a toilet and water cooler, but three of the women on India's winning Olympic team have trained here. Siwach is also a coach for the Indian Railways which has 13 women hockey players on the national team. At present, 120 girls train at her academy where she has a simple, one-point agenda: Other girls shouldn't have to struggle (she uses the more powerful word sangharsh) like she did.
Grassroots coaches like Siwach, or those at the famous Shahabad Hockey Academy where captain Rani Rampal learned everything about hockey starting age six, are the biggest reason India's remotest pin codes continue to churn out world-class sportswomen despite all the odds stacked against them by the uncaring state and deep-rooted patriarchy. Siwach, and others like her, allow young Indians with mind-numbing lives a chance to dream—and live out—their impossible dreams.
The veteran hockey player happily shares stories about her three Olympic 'babies'. Before Neha Goyal joined Siwach's academy, the pre-teen used to work with her mother at the nearby cycle factory straightening spokes. Sharmila's father is a farmer in Hisar. Her grandfather deposited her with Siwach six years ago and said look after her, teach her hockey, help her make something of her life. About Sharmila, Indian coach, Sjoerd Marijne told The Bridge, "She is a young player and she plays without any fear. She plays with a lot of joy."
Siwach's third protege Nisha Warsi, whose father worked in a sari showroom until a stroke left him paralysed, also comes from an impoverished family. Like many, Warsi picked hockey because it is a relatively inexpensive game—all you need to start is a stick.
Rampal, the undernourished child of a domestic worker and a cart-puller, famously began playing with a broken hockey stick she found on a field. While a large part of India's team is from Haryana, it also has two representatives from Naxal strongholds in Jharkhand—mid-fielder Salima Tete and defender Nikki Pradhan.
Salima Tete described to Mint Lounge how she used to play with wood sticks on a makeshift ground. "My friends and I would remove the stones ourselves, try to make the ground as smooth as possible and mark temporary goalposts," she said.
Often, these sportswomen are each other's role models (see here and here). For half the team, this is their second Olympics. So the daughter of a tribal farmer, Deep Grace Ekka from Lulkidihi-Bahamnibahal in Orissa is a double Olympian. And when Mizo forward Lalremsiami lost her father in the middle of an Olympic qualifier competition, she managed her grief and continued playing to honour his memory. India's sports teams brim with startling stories like these.
Unlike in Bollywood representations of hockey, Indian women aren't just driven by their hunger to win. They are technical goddesses, none more than their captain Rampal. Read Sharda Ugra's brilliant analysis of her game and how she's worked to perfect it.
Tokyo 2020: My Favourite Long-Running Olympic Games Story
If Indian sports struggles it is only because we don't care enough to invest at the grassroots. Even through the pandemic, Siwach kept her academy running, training smaller groups of girls at different times of day. "We have to improve things when the sapling is sprouting," she says. "How can you expect better performances from our athletes at a later stage when you don't invest in their growth?"
Until then she'll doggedly keep teaching her girls to imbibe her "gussewali" (angry), "hyper" spirit. I want them to think the same spirited thought I did on the field: "How dare you try to take the ball from me?"

Now, I never knew I cared about popcorn, but that's sort of the fun of it. Look 'em up, if you get the chance. They also have ice cream, if you're not into the corn.
What you learn when you stop and take in your surroundings is invariably useful. There are businesses all over Lexington, big and small, all attempting to grab a share of the marketplace.

MUSIC BOX: West Africa meets rock 'n' roll America

Jackson Hole, WYO – Toubab Krewe first played the Tetons in March of 2006 during what was then called "Last Tram Days" at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, celebrating the final moments of the resort's original tram that first opened in 1966.
If you're a connoisseur of out-of-the-box, yet in-the-pocket music, don't miss the opportunity to hear mostly instrumental arrangements of traditional West African music meeting head-to-head with American rock styles. The worldly sounds and rhythms are fascinating and intricate, not to mention the Malian instruments – the kora (21-string harp-lute) and the kamelengoni (12-string harp-lute) – that are just as interesting to watch being played as to hear the melodic sounds produced. Add a splash of fuzzed-out blues and jamband improvisation, and you've got a dizzying melting pot.
"Basically Toubab means 'not African' or 'foreigner' or 'white dude' or whatever," percussionist Luke Quaranta recently told Maui Now. "It essentially means that you are not continental African. We had been calling ourselves that in a tongue and cheek way for years, and eventually we decided to take it on as our name officially.
"We were all white guys, but actually our drummer now is African American, and he's from Louisiana: Baton Rouge … we've been moving in a New Orleans direction since we started the band in 2005."
While nearly impossible to put into any one box, Toubab Krewe is certainly muscular, original, and has a globally switched-on sound.
Toubab Krewe, 9 p.m., Saturday at the Pink Garter Theatre. Tickets are $15 at The Rose, Pinky G's or PinkGarterTheatre.com.
Minus the Bear
Twinkling guitars, sweet harmonies and pounding indie-pop-rock, Seattle-based fivesome Minus the Bear leave grit on the pavement in favor of big pop hooks and catchy (though sometimes cliche) choruses. Eighties-style synth is another common texture that peeks out on its fifth studio release, Infinity Overhead (2012).
From DIY beginnings more than 11 years ago, the band's 2010 album, Omni, debuted in the Billboard Top 50 and they have released four LPs amongst several EPs.
"We wanted to branch out on the last record and explore some more musical directions and work with someone we didn't know," said guitarist David Knudson about Omni. "That was very educational and eye-opening but at the same time we weren't in our wheelhouse."
Drummer Erin Tate provided additional perspective. "I look at it like when we started this band we were building a house with the first three records, then with Omni we decided to go to a beach house. Now, with Infinity Overhead, we are back working on our house."
In addition to performing at high-profile U.S. festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sasquatch, Minus the Bear has toured Europe, the U.K., Japan and Australia.
Minus the Bear, 9:30 p.m., Friday, at the Pink Garter Theatre $21 advance, $24 day-of-show at The Rose, Pinky G's or PinkGarterTheatre.com.
The Attack gets Stacked
Since the disbandment of indie-rock group Elk Attack, members Dustin Nichols-Schmolze (vocals, electric guitar, keys), Bo Elledge (vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion), Adam Wooley (bass), and John Wayne Harris Jr. (drums) have linked up with Uncle Stack (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica) to join the county-wide onslaught on classic rock 'n' roll. Meet Uncle Stack & the Attack.
"We cherry pick our favorite popular blues and rock tunes from the 60s and 70s, emphasizing lyric-driven songs with strong acoustic guitar rhythms," Stack said. "What does that mean? Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Band, The Grateful Dead, and Led Zeppelin. We also season the mix with funk jams and originals."
This will be the last show at Town Square Tavern before the venue closes for an extensive renovation.
Uncle Stack & the Attack, 9:30 p.m., Friday, at Town Square Tavern. $5. 733-3646.
