S Korea deletes reference to DPRK as 'enemy' in defense white paper
January 15, 2019 by neha
Seoul: South Korea's military deleted its reference to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as an "enemy" in the latest defense white paper amid a rising peace mood on the Korean Peninsula.
The reference to the DPRK government and military as an enemy of South Korea was deleted from the 2018 defense white paper, which was published Tuesday by Seoul's Defence Ministry.
Instead of the deletion, the white paper, which has been published biennially since 1967, said South Korea's military regards forces threatening and infringing upon the country's sovereignty, territory, people and assets as an enemy.
The paper noted that though South Korea and the DPRK have had repeated confrontation and reconciliation in the past, the two Koreas held summit meetings three times in 2018 while the first-ever DPRK-US summit was also held last year.
It said those summit meetings created a new security environment to denuclearise the Korean Peninsula and build peace.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in and top DPRK leader Kim Jong-un met three times last year, agreeing on ways to defuse military tensions and prevent accidental clashes.
The military authorities of the two sides set up buffer zones in the air, waters and land near the inter-Korean border, while disarming the Joint Security Area (JSA), where armed soldiers of the two Koreas stood face-to-face in the past, and destroying some guard posts inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ) on a trial basis.
Adding to the inter-Korean peace mood, the DPRK leader and U.S. President Donald Trump held the first-ever DPRK-U.S. summit in Singapore in June last year, agreeing to complete denuclearization of the peninsula and normalized relations between Pyongyang and Washington.

Organicity respects and honors the body's natural intelligence, and brings the mind, body and spirit back into a state of balance and harmony.
Hakomi therapy is simple yet powerful approach to body work. It brings healing beyond your muscles by freeing you from the deeper holding patterns that started the tension in the first place. Hakomi therapy begins the process of unraveling the places where we feel stuck in life, uncovering the true state of health, and incorporating those healthy changes into your life.

In one Myofascial release session with Christine Wushke my pelvis and jaw are so significantly better, it's amazing.
My pelvis and jaw have been out of alignment since I had Henry and probably even before that. My tmj disorder was so bad my dentist recommended thousands of dollars of treatment that had no guarantee of success.
I was in debilitating, chronic pain, and not for lack of efforts.

JHA wrote the Activity Plan for Bath Abbey's Footprint project which will see the restoration of the floor, new visitor facilities, engaging interpretation and activity programme.
Julia Holberry Associates, with Christina Brooks and Elizabeth Newbery, researched and wrote the Activity Plan for Bath Abbey's Footprint project. We worked as part of a large team of architects, exhibition designers, café and visitor experience consultants to produce a wholly integrated Activity Plan which has the needs of visitors and participants at its heart. We consulted with the clergy, staff, volunteers, users and non-users, school teachers and the Universities in order to establish their vision for the project and how they would like it to develop. These findings have been fed into every aspect of the project and have been used as a basis for the activity programme.
The project was awarded £10.7 million by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Well protected thanks to commercial liability insurance
For more than 60 years, autoweibel ag in Aarberg has contributed to the success of the VW brand in Bern's Seeland region. Zurich Insurance has been by the company's side ever since its foundation. "It gives us a sense of security," confirms Lorenz Weibel.
Lorenz Weibel laughs: "Commercial liability insurance is something you never really think about and you hate making use of." However, mistakes are inevitable in this line of work. That is something the 36-year-old, the eldest of the third and youngest generation of the Weibels in Aarberg is well aware of: "Nobody really enjoys talking to the insurance company. But if it has to be done, it should be as quick and easy as possible."
Engine breakdown
For example, that is exactly how it was when a newly repaired engine of a vintage van broke down. "We were devastated, and the customer was extremely disappointed," explains Weibel. Until today, the company – which is specialized in this area – has not been able to find out why the wrong parts was installed during the overhaul. Meanwhile, however, the customer has been appeased, and the immortal VW van is back on the road.
Search for the perfect solution
Since a vintage van was concerned, a claims expert of Zurich was called in. "Together with the expert, we looked for a perfect solution in order to quickly resolve the issue and make sure that all three parties are satisfied," says Weibel. The three parties decided to reuse the existing operable parts of the original engine along with new parts in order to rebuild the engine from scratch. "The teamwork was outstanding," says Weibel, commenting on Zurich as an insurance partner. "The customer did not have to wait too long for his beloved vintage van, and the commercial liability insurance covered the costs of almost CHF 6,000."
Commercial liability insurance for optimum protection
"That is what a commercial liability insurance is for," explains Marcel Kiefer, Account Manager Corporate Customers at Zurich. "When third parties suffer damage from a company or its employees, the company is held liable. Our commercial liability insurance provides optimum protection against such risks, which usually occur unexpectedly."
A well-functioning team
This is true, not only for complicated cases such as the vintage van, but also for minor, everyday problems. "Usually, we merely need to send Zurich a few photographs and a description of the damage," says Weibel. "Over the years, we've established a relationship of mutual trust. Today, we do not merely view Zurich as an insurance company, but rather as a valuable partner in a challenging setting."
Quick and easy solution
A recently settled claim involving a VW van, a 2020 T6.1, demonstrates how well this partnership works, explains Weibel. The job was actually quite straightforward: At autoweibel's garage in Aarberg, the summer wheels were mounted, and the winter wheels were stacked inside the van. On the trip back home, the stack toppled, and the wheels damaged the interior lining. Were the wheels stacked in the wrong way or was the owner driving too fast? "Well, we don't know the answer," admits Weibel. "What we did know, however, was that the customer was upset, so we needed a solution." The situation was described by e-mail, and after the work was finished, pictures of the new lining and of the old damaged lining were sent to Zurich. Weibel says: "That was all, the situation could be resolved easily, and we regained a satisfied customer."
"Everything is expected to be hassle-free"
According to Weibel, the way how everything was handled should not be taken for granted. He explains that in recent years, the customer behavior has changed significantly. "Nowadays, customers do not merely buy a car, they expect an all-inclusive package", says the member of the management and points out: "Everything is expected to be hassle-free." For this reason, he believes that companies need a reliable insurance partner. A partner that keeps its customers up to date. "We need to be informed when changes occur at the insurance," says Weibel. Does Zurich meet this requirement? "Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have remained loyal to Zurich for three generations," says Weibel, who gets into his electric VW ID.3 and drives away.

Perfect for backpacking? Bushcraft? Survival?
When your outdoor adventure demands ingenuity as a survival skill, pack the Titan Stormproof Match Kit. The beefiest, longest-burning windproof and waterproof matches available, Titan matches incinerate the competition. Over four inches long and boasting a burn time of up to 25 seconds, each meaty match will fire up in the harshest of conditions, and will relight after being submerged in water.
Possibly too long for some people. If they are too long for you, there is a smaller version out there.
While getting my ducks in a row for this review I came across some funny statements made by individuals who have used these matches.
One individual stated that he should have never lit one of them in his house next to his smoke alarm as receive a promote visit from the fire department.
Another individual stated that he lit one in his home and now his house absolutely stinks like these matches. A follow-up comment to that was this; why would you like one of these in your home unless you wanted to burn it down.
Can satisfy your inner pyro!

"Sona Jobarteh is Africa's first female griot kora virtuoso, and also a fine singer and composer, blending traditional music, blues, and Afropop to impressive effect" - The Guardian
Preserving her musical past Sona Jobarteh innovates to support a more humanitarian future. The spirit of Sona Jobarteh's musical work stands on the mighty shoulders of The West African Griot Tradition; she is a living archive of the Gambian people. With one ear on the family's historic reputation, one on the all-important future legacy and her heart in both places, she is preparing a place today for the next generation. Her singing and Kora playing while fronting her band, spring directly from this tradition. The extent of her recognition today is evidenced by more than 23 + million watchers on YouTube and considerable numbers on other digital platforms. All this despite singing in her native languages and keeping to her own path within the music industry.

Construction has begun on a $15 million hotel and retail project between College Avenue and John F. Kennedy Parkway in south Fort Collins.
The $8 million Candlewood Suites hotel being developed by Spirit Hospitality on the northwest corner of Pavilion Lane and JFK Parkway — across from Home Depot — would be the first hotel built in Fort Collins since Cambria Suites opened on Harmony Road in August 2008.
The Plaza at Pavilion Lane has three additional building pads that developers hope will attract a fitness center, restaurant or other services for hotel guests, said Realtor Dave Pettigrew, who bought the site with Spirit Hospitality co-owner Bill Albrecht for $1.7 million in 2008 just as the economy tanked.
They sat on the land until economic conditions improved and have now started pouring footings for the hotel. Spirit Hospitality hopes to have the hotel open later this year. The site capitalizes on its proximity to MAX, the city's bus rapid-transit system that will carry passengers along Mason Street from Old Town Fort Collins to just south of Harmony Road, which expected to start running in May.
Harmony Road was a hot spot for new hotels in 2006 through 2008, with Cambria Suites, Homewood Suites and Holiday Inn Express all opening.


Last night in Edmonton, AB began a new chapter for Moloich Photography. While on my way to local venue to shoot a concert, I drove by a hall featuring a monthly OCDG (Oil City Derby Girls) showcase in Castledowns. Being that this was a new venture I was somewhat reluctant but very inquisitive as to what I would see inside the walls. Once inside I was treated with a colorful superhero display of cyclical rolling fury from the opening match between local men's division favorites the River City Riot and their arch nemesis from my hometown of Red Deer, AB the Dreadnaughts.
With an old indoor hockey arena playing host to men, women and children of all ages in attendance the evening began tastefully with a stirring opening National Anthem of O Canada too seldom seen. With the final chorus sung those filling the stands erupted like soldiers heading in to battle. Stomping feet in the bleachers, screams of encouragement, hooting and hollering filled the brisk night air, the participants circling each other on the track in the pre game warm up was to see one predator sizing up the next.
Shortly after the introduction of such notable skaters as Ragnarok, Short Bus, Dr. T. Sanchez, Shogun, ShoMeYourHits, The Jester, Wingman and others came the inspection check commanded by the head official with a bone cracking – ". . .line up for inspection!" all the derby gents obeyed and lined up with core military precision of those on parade before their commanding officer. Each referee thoroughly inspected each participant, ensuring protective equipment was worn correctly and safely – also making sure the brass knuckles and thumb tacks were left in the cars outside. With the inspections finally behind us – the teams went into their pregame huddles – each formulating their strategies and hatching a plan for the ultimate undoing of the other.


The greatest deterioration of olive oil is due to poor handling of the olives during the time between harvesting and processing. Storage of olive fruits is carried out by simple heaping in fruit piles, waiting their processing. These fruits develop all kinds of degenerative processes in a short period of time. Oils obtained from them show characteristics hydrolytic and oxidative deteriorations confirmed by their high acidity values, peroxide value or ultraviolet absorbance at 232 and 270 nm. To avoid this situation, the industry is currently reducing the interval between harvesting and processing, through an increase in milling capacity. However, the equipment necessary for preventing the accumulation of fruit in January would be unnecessary for the rest of the season. In this chapter, refrigeration of the olive fruits, or the use of physical treatments, to allow the processing of unripe fruits, are analysed as possible alternatives.

A hospitalist is a physician who specializes in caring for the types of complex problems that often bring patients into the hospital, including heart and lung diseases, many cancers, infections and other medical problems. IHA Hospital Medicine Services is staffed with experienced internists and family medicine physicians who specialize in hospital medicine. Partnering with primary care physicians, IHA hospitalists care for patients during their hospital stay. After their discharge from the hospital, patients will return to the care of their primary-care physician.
Our physicians value communication with the primary care doctor, as well as with patients and their families, nursing staff and consulting physicians.
Our physicians are available 24 hours-per-day to respond to the results of studies, consultant evaluations, and emergency situations and may see the patient multiple times per day if indicated by the patient's clinical situation.
The hospitalist coordinates and/or provides complete patient education regarding the plan of care during the hospital stay and upon transition from the hospital.
Every attempt is made to develop a treatment and discharge plan that will meet the needs of the patient and family. This plan will be coordinated with the patient's primary-care physician.

The young person's debate on Social Security has been particularly one-sided lately. Last fall at the Harvard Institute of Politics, I helped write and analyze a poll of over 2,000 young people ages 18-29. We found that 78 percent of young people were concerned that the Social Security system would not be able to provide the benefits they expected when they retired.
But even more surprising was the fact that 56 percent of young people, if given the choice, would prefer changing the system to "invest some of their Social Security taxes in private accounts -- like IRA's or 401k's-- and running the risk that some people will lose money in their private accounts due to drops in the stock market." Breaking it down by party, 51 percent of self-identified young Democrats support private accounts compared with 63 percent of self-identified young Republicans.
Young people are worried Social Security will not be there for them and are looking for other options to ensure their future economic security. My generation doesn't want to be paying into a system from which we won't receive anything. However, many of these fears about Social Security's future may be unfounded. Furthermore, Social Security plays a vital role in promoting the entrepreneurship that defines the Millennial generation.
This January, I attended the 24th annual conference of the National Academy of Social Insurance. The theme was Social Insurance in a Market Economy: Obstacles and Opportunities and I heard from leaders in the social insurance field talk about the future of Social Security. I was relieved.
The nonpartisan Social Security Trustees Report found that in 2010 the Social Security trust fund received $69 billion dollars more than it paid out. In addition, the trustees reported that reserves are projected to grow to $3.7 trillion dollars by the end of 2022.
For the next 12 years, annual surpluses are projected to grow and add excess money to the reserves. If there is no action taken by 2023 then reserves will lose money as we pay benefits for a growing number of retirees—many of whom will be our parents. If we do nothing, by 2036, payments at the current rate will be able to cover 77 percent of the program's scheduled benefits and administrative costs. This isn't the end of the world—and the decision on how to ensure Social Security's future will not result in the apocalypse either.
There are many ways to maintain solvency either by increasing revenue—with options such as lifting the cap on taxable earnings, which is currently set at a lower rate than it has been in the past—or by decreasing benefits—options which include raising the retirement age or reducing benefits for younger generations. NASI's report, Fixing Social Security: Adequate Benefits, Adequate Financing, describes these policy options in detail and provides information on the costs and savings associated with each alternative.
However we choose to address the long-term solvency issues of the program, it is vital that policymakers "fix" Social Security without changing the fundamental structure of the program, which pools risk widely. By transferring money to private accounts, we would tie Americans' income security to the ups and downs of the stock market.
According to a survey of 872 Millennials done in November of 2011 by Young Invincibles and the Kauffman Foundation, 51 percent of Millennials "either want to start a business or already have started one." The study also found that the second most common barrier to entrepreneurship, reported by 31 percent of respondents, was too much risk.
NASI's conference explored how social insurance programs like Social Security provide a secure foundation for taking risks and delving into new entrepreneurial endeavors. Having a defined benefits plan like the current Social Security system provides my generation with the assurance about our future we need to be the entrepreneurs that we naturally are.
A strong Social Security system helps to provide the insurance to take risk, assuring Americans that they can retire safely regardless of how much entrepreneurial risk one takes throughout their lifetime. Shifting to a privatized system dramatically increases risk. Given the volatility of the last few years, who would be comfortable with relying on luck to determine whether we retire in the midst of a recession or a boom?
Social Security will cease to be there for us if we, as the younger generation, lose the debate by ignoring the discussion and letting other generations legislate the program away. It is our job as a generation to join the debate—and win.

Biden—Handed Road Map for Action—Told US Has Moral Responsibility to Lead on Climate Refugees
The new administration, says a Refugees International expert, needs "to understand that people are already on the move and will continue to be on the move."
"The United States has a moral and practical responsibility to lead on issues of climate change, migration, and displacement."
So says a report published Thursday by Refugees International, which has advocated for U.S. policy focused on the intersection of those three issues for over a decade. The document details a four-step road map that President Joe Biden can pursue following his trio of executive actions on the Paris agreement, the climate crisis, and refugee policy.
"The United States can put into place bold, human-centered, 'fair share' policies today to promote the objectives President Biden has articulated, and to demonstrate to the world a commitment to build back better."
—Refugees International report
The report (pdf)—entitled At a Climate Change Crossroads: How a Biden-Harris Administration Can Support and Protect Communities Displaced by Climate Change—applauds Biden's steps so far while also emphasizing that "climate displacement can't wait."
Report author Kayly Ober, the senior advocate and program manager for the Climate Displacement Program at Refugees International, commended the president, who took office last month, "for taking the unprecedented action of centering climate and migration within his administration's work."
Ober also told Common Dreams that she believes U.S. leadership is key to getting other allies to recognize that investing only in efforts to curb climate-related migration isn't realistic—the international community must also create mechanisms and improve existing systems to welcome climate refugees.
"Yes, we should invest in climate change adaptation and resilience measures, because it enables people to stay in place if they would like to," Ober said. "But we also need to understand that people are already on the move and will continue to be on the move, especially as climate change impacts increase in intensity and frequency."
As Common Dreams reported in June 2020, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) revealed that a record 79.5 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced by the end of 2019 "as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, or events seriously disturbing public order."
'The climate crisis was increasingly playing a part in displacement, forcing people from their homes and making living conditions worse' says #UNHCR @Refugees - number of forcibly displaced people doubled over the past decade to almost 80 million https://t.co/2gYrAPhEyt
— World Habitat (@WorldHabitat) June 18, 2020
The Refugees International report notes that nearly 24 million people were displaced by weather-related disasters in 2019, almost three times more than those displaced by conflict.
"This number is also underpinned by some of the first sudden-onset events to have tangible ties to climate change," the report adds, "including unprecedented double Cyclones Idai and Kenneth in Mozambique; longer-stalling Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas; and wide-ranging wildfires in California."
Citing a 2018 paper from the World Bank which Ober co-authored, Refugees International also points out that "unchecked carbon emissions and unequal development policies could lead to 143 million internal 'climate migrants' by 2050 in Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa."
"However, the exact number of people displaced will be determined by policy decisions made today," the report continues. "The bank predicts that if policies were enacted to cut carbon emissions and support a green transition—one with robust support for locally led climate change adaptation, stronger social safety nets, and more inclusive and equitable development policies—the total number of 'climate migrants' would decrease by 50% to 80%, or 31 to 72 million people."
In addition to laying out current conditions and future expectations for migration and displacement driven by climate change, Refugees International highlights that "while no one country is solely responsible for all carbon emissions, the United States is responsible for the largest share over time."
"The commitment to conducting a report on climate change and its impact on migration in the executive order... is a bold and new step forward in establishing the United States as an important world leader in this critical area." - @KaylyOber https://t.co/DJJlS4R6b0
— Refugees International (@RefugeesIntl) February 5, 2021
With the necessity of both global action and U.S. leadership established, the report offers four essential areas for the Biden administration to make progress.
To address the four major priority areas, the group urges the Biden administration to:
Strengthen the capacity of U.S. agencies on climate-related displacement and migration and lead internationally on these issues, including appointing a "coordinator of climate change resilience," and rejoining and/or endorsing key international agreements that deal with climate migration, like the Global Compact for Migration;
Make substantial commitment to climate finance for climate change adaptation and resilience measures in affected countries, including to the Green Climate Fund;
Bolster and expand "pathways" for refuge and resettlement in the U.S. for those displaced by climate change; and
Lead in the Americas in finding regional policy solutions, especially on climate-related migration and displacement.
The recommendation for a climate resilience coordinator is drawn from legislation Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) introduced in 2019, when Republicans controlled the Senate; Democrats now have a narrow majority. Ober called it a "marker bill" and told Common Dreams the new report "was written keeping in mind the limitations of Congress that exist."
"A lot of these recommendations can be seen as standalone in many ways or led through executive action," Ober added. "And I think that speaks to the urgency of the issue and the realities of... the roadblocks to moving the pieces into place for this sort of policy."
The report explains that "we are at a climate change crossroads," but adds that "climate change does not have to lead to a migration and displacement 'crisis.'"
"Crises are manufactured," resulting from policy decisions that cause or exacerbate them, Ober told Common Dreams. "And in the case of migration... if we just had a sane and functioning... policy, there would be no crisis."
As the report concludes: "The United States can put into place bold, human-centered, 'fair share' policies today to promote the objectives President Biden has articulated, and to demonstrate to the world a commitment to build back better."


Do Ankle Weights & Parachutes Increase Sprinting Speed?
Improve sprinting speed with parachutes, which is considered overload or resisted acceleration training. The goal in overload training is to increase the length of your stride, which will positively impact speed. Other forms of overload training include uphill running and using elastic cords or weighted sleds. When performed properly, overload techniques do not distort sprinting form. Ankle weights are also a form of resistance. However, they can obstruct your technique. Use ankle weights only to strengthen muscles for sprinting, not while sprinting.
Attaching a small parachute to your back has the effect of increasing wind resistance and forces you to take larger strides to accelerate. You can attain the overload effect without hampering your sprinting form. These drills can improve your stride length as well as explosive strength. The amount of resistance depends on the size of the chute. If you want to target the acceleration phase, use high resistance. Use medium resistance to build endurance. Low resistance is used to train the phase at which you're running at top speed. If you use too much resistance, you'll end up muscling your way forward and warp your form. The rule of thumb is to conservatively estimate the amount of resistance you need to benefit from the drill.
To do a speed chute run, put on the harness connected to the parachute. Loosen the chute until it's open and the strings are not tangled. Step forward until the parachute and strings are directly behind you. Stand with staggered feet and knees slightly bent. Flex your elbows at 90 degrees, placing one hand in front of your shoulder and the other by your hip. Lean slightly forward at your waist. Sprint 30 to 100 yards, driving your arms and knees forward with as much powerful motion as you can muster.
When you're doing overload training for sprinting speed, allow your muscles to recover. Take two or three days off before the next speed chute running session. Stop assisted sprints if your form starts to deteriorate or fatigue sets in. Before an overload session, do a warm-up. For example, run several low-intensity sprints and then put on the parachute harness. After the session, perform maximal sprints so you can incorporate the benefits of overload training directly into your performance.
Running with ankle weight is not recommended. It can negatively impact your stride length and technique by distorting the mechanics of running, according to Eugene Coleman's book "52-Week Baseball Training." However, using ankle weights in exercises to strengthen your hips and legs can help your sprinting speed. For example, perform a marching step with high knee lifts with ankle weights. While standing in place, rapidly lift one knee to your chest and then drive it back down. As soon as your toes reach the ground, lift the other knee. Focus on the speed of the movement, not the rate of turnover. Aim for two steps per second. In addition, the ankle weights must be light enough so they don't slow down your movement.

How can 'sinful' triple talaq be a matter of faith: SC asks Muslim bodies
SharePrint Print E-mailComments Comment[ - ] Text [ + ] 18:47 HRS IST
Muslim bodies
New Delhi, May 18 (PTI) The Supreme Court today asked Muslim bodies how can a practice like triple talaq be a matter of "faith" when they have been asserting that it is "patriarchal", "bad in theology" and "sinful".
A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar also reserved its verdict on a clutch of pleas challenging the constitutional validity of triple talaq among Muslims after hearing parties including the Centre, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, the All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board and various others for six days in summer vacation.
The court took note of repeated submissions of the AIMPLB and former Union minister and senior lawyer Salman Khurshid, who is assisting it in personal capacity, that triple talaq is not mentioned in holy Quran and is rather "sinful", "irregular", "patriarchal", "bad in theology" and "undesirable", but the court should not examine it.
"You (Khurshid) say it is sinful. How can a sinful practice be said to be a matter of faith... Has it (triple talaq) going on in consistently for 1,400 years? The answer is 'yes'.
"Has it going on in the world? The answer is 'no'. The system itself say it is horrendous and bad," the bench, also comprising justices Kurian Joseph, R F Nariman, U U Lalit and Abdul Nazeer, said.
The observations were made when Khurshid was advancing rejoinder arguments by emphasising that the practice was sinful and bad in theology which cannot be good in law. He, however, argued that the court should not examine it.
"That is why, what is sinful cannot be part of practice.
If it is bad in theology, it cannot be accepted in law...What is morally wrong cannot be legally right. What is not fully moral, it cannot be legal," the bench observed.
Senior advocate Amit Singh Chadha, appearing for Shayara Bano, one of the victims of triple talaq, started rebuttal arguments quoting AIMPLB's stand that this is sinful and patriarchal practice and said this cannot be integral to Islam.
The patriarchal practice of triple talaq in a male- dominated community is not recognised by many schools of thought, he said, adding, "It is a bad, undesirable and sinful practice and violates constitutional guarantees of Muslim women."
Asking the court not to resort to "hands off" policy, Chadha said judiciary was the only hope for people, opposed to it as Muslim bodies say it is bad, but be allowed to continue and the Centre says that it is undesirable, but it would not legislate.
"The only right, the only remedy to the citizens is to come to this court which is the custodian of fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution. We have no other option. My only remedy is to come to this protector, enforcer and this guardian of my fundamental rights," he said.
Chadha also argued it has been admitted by all parties that Islam does not discriminate between men and women and it maintains marriage as far as possible.
"Triple talaq is outlawed in various Muslim countries, predominantly in Hanafi countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan. The moment it is said to be bad in theology that is religious belief, the protection of Article 25 (right to practice religion) is thrown out," he said adding this Article protects only good thing of theology.
Chadha also argued that state shall not deny the rights guaranteed under Articles 14 (right to equality) and 15 (gender equality) of the Constitution and a time has come to test this centuries-old practice, invalid in the eyes of law.
"Triple talaq is not a part of religion and it cannot be said that is a part of the practice," he said.
He also argued that even the government has said that it was not something which was fundamental to Islam.
He strongly objected to the suggestion made by AIMPLB that it may ask 'qazis' to include a condition in 'nikahnama' (marriage contract) giving a right to women to say either 'no' or 'yes' to triple talaq.
He said that it would be illegal as the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act 1939 provides that a woman will have to go to a court to get divorce.
"A married Muslim woman, if she want divorce, will have to go to a court of law. This will not serve the purpose as a Muslim man can give divorce instantaneously," he said.
Senior lawyer Anand Grover, appearing for an organisation opposing triple talaq, said that as of today, most Sunni Muslim women were against this practice and the AIMPLB was not giving a correct perception to the apex court.
Former Union minister, Islamic scholar and lawyer, Arif Mohammad Khan, arguing for All India Women Personal Law Board, strongly objected to the submissions of the AIMPLB and said Islam cannot have any room to dictate any person and the holy Quran says "killing an innocent person is like killing the entire humanity".
"Three pronouncement of talaq in one go is not valid and is a practice from pre-Islamic Arab era and is not integral to Islam," he said.
Khan, who had quit the Rajiv Gandhi cabinet over differences in handling the Shah Bano case, said the whole Shariat law has been distorted as "Shariat is the holy Quran and not the opinion of these people (clerics). The holy Quran considers the importance of family and it provides four steps before pronouncement of divorce."
Another former Union minister and senior advocate, Kapil Sibal, who appeared for AIMPLB, said that Attorney General Mukul Rohtagi had raised the issue of constitutional morality in the matter.
"If they (government) want to have a law, have it. They cannot say we will not have a law and you (court) decide it.
It is for the government to frame a law and then it can be tested on the principles of morality," he said.
Sibal said this was a "very complex situation" as the AIMPLB says it was a practice and Article 25, which guarantees freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion, is a fundamental right.
"How will you (court) set it aside? The government can bring a law as measure of social reform. If the law does not permit anybody to do something, it can be tested," he said.
"Lots of thing are happening in the society which are protected by customs. The court is not here to decide what is a sinful practice in the world. We are talking about rule of law," he said.
Sibal further said, "we are talking about very serious constitutional issue. There is a process provided under the Constitution. Follow that process."
He said that a court cannot decide the issue in "vacuum" and triple talaq is a practice which has not been disputed and it is practiced by all the schools of thought.
Regarding the court's query on whether a woman can be given an option of saying 'no' to triple talaq at the time of execution of 'nikahnama', Sibal said he had a meeting with AIMPLB members and they have decided to issue an advisory to all the Qazis to put it in nikahnama.
"Put it on record before the court," the bench said.
"Only 0.4 per cent is practising it and this is not a ground to strike it down," Sibal said adding that Qazis have been advised to avoid triple talaq until there were unforeseen circumstances.
He said that the issue stands at a dangerous and slippery slope and "all must be careful about it" and this was not an area where court should enter.
"If there is a consensus among Muslim scholars that it is a practice then it is valid. There is nothing in the Quran which says triple talaq is not valid," he said.
Another senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for one of the groups opposing triple talaq, told the bench that there were slippery slopes on both sides and the court will have to walk on the "razor" and decide the issue.
On conclusion of the six-day long marathon hearing, the bench thanked the lawyers for assisting it during summer vacation.
"We thank each and everyone of you for the assistance you have given to us during the vacation," it said.
The bench had made it clear that it would examine whether the practice of triple talaq among Muslims is fundamental to their religion and had also said for the time being it will not deliberate upon the issue of polygamy and 'nikah halala'.
It had also said that the issue of polygamy and 'nikah halala' would be kept pending and will be dealt with later.
The apex court had on its own taken cognisance of the question whether Muslim women faced gender discrimination in the event of divorce or due to other marriages of their husbands.
The Centre had earlier said that triple talaq is neither integral to Islam nor a "majority versus minority" issue but rather an "intra-community tussle" between Muslim men and deprived women.The Supreme Court on Thursday concluded hearing in the triple talaq issue and reserved its verdict even as the All India Muslim Personal Law Board said it has decided to issue an advisory to Qazis to give an option to Muslim women to opt out of instant triple talaq before giving consent for nikaah.
The five-judge Constitution bench comprising Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Justice Kurian Joseph, Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice S. Abdul Nazeer wound up hearing in the case after six days on a batch of petitions that challenged the constitutional validity of triple talaq.
The court was told that the AIMPLB would file an affidavit stating its decision and include a copy of the model Nikaah Nama.
The AIMPLB decision comes a day after the top court asked it to consider giving an option to Muslim women to deny prospective husbands the option of triple talaq. The court permitted AIMPLB to file its affidavit.
The matter is rooted in an October 16, 2015, order of the top court by which it had directed the separate listing of a PIL addressing the question of the rights of Muslim women.
Addressing the constitution bench, AIMPLB's senior counsel Kapil Sibal said he had a meeting with the Board members on Wednesday (May 17) and they have decided to issue an advisory to all the Qazis across the country.
That the bride has opted out of triple talaq would be recorded in the Nikaah Nama, the court was told.
With the Centre linking the issue of triple talaq with that of constitutional morality, AIMPLB wondered why was the Centre shying away from enacting a law to curb the practice by taking recourse to Article 25(2)(b) of the Constitution that permits enactment of a law invoking social reforms.
Article 25(2)(b) says that nothing prevents the State from enacting a law "providing for social welfare or reforms ..."
Article 25 guarantees the freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion.
Taking a dig at the Centre for telling the court that it should first rule against triple talaq and other forms of talaq and then it would enact a law to set it in, Sibal said: "You (Centre) can't say that I will not bring a law, you (court) decide the matter."
Let them enact a law to deal with triple talaq, only then its constitutionality would be tested by the top court, AIMPLB said.
As various petitioners raised questions about the sources of customs and practices, Sibal urged the court not to venture in this area as it was slippery.
"Testing the validity of customs and practices is a slippery slope," Sibal said.
In his rejoinder arguments while saying that "what was sinful in theology, can't be good in law", senior counsel Salman Khurshid said that he differed with the AIMPLB saying that Islam suffered from patriarchy.
He said that Islam recognised both men and women as equal and unlike Christianity where it is women who take the blame, in Islam both husband and wife are held equally responsible.
While saying that AIMPLB was a body of standing having eminent and scholarly people on it, Khurshid who is assisting the court differed with the Attorney General that the court should rule against all forms of talaq under Shariat before a law is enacted.
He also differed with AIMPLB which has contended that though sinful and undesirable triple talaq was a matter of faith for Muslims.
Contesting AIMPLB's claim to be a representative voice of the Muslim community, senior counsel Anand Grover said that Talaq-i-bidat was not an essential part of the Sunni Muslim faith, thus it has been changed in several Sunni-majority countries.
Citing the prevailing conditions where Muslim women were protesting against instant triple talaq, Grover appearing for the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan's co-founder Zakia Suman, questioned the AIMPLB's claim that they are discouraging the practice of triple talaq amongst Muslims.
Appearing for another petitioner Sharaya Bano, senior counsel Amit Singh Chadha brushed aside AIMPLB's contention that though sinful triple talaq was a matter of faith for the Muslims.
"It is not only not an essential part of Muslim religion, it is not a part of religion at all. On the contrary, it is deprecated by Islam," Chadha told the court.

Diana and Kate Newsweek cover blasted as 'ghoulish' and in 'bad taste'
Newsweek and its new editor Tina Brown aren't just reporting the news, they've become the story this week after publishing a computer-generated cover photo showing Princess Diana and Kate Middleton side by side.
The women are dressed similarly, wearing hats, their heads facing toward each other as if they are walking together. The cover accompanies a fictional piece Brown authored which imagines how Di's life might have turned out had she not died in a 1997 car crash in Paris. Another couple of photos inside in the magazine are eye-catching. They are of Diana and the daughter-in-law she never knew wearing similar red dresses.
The issue is pegged to what would have been Diana's 50th birthday on Friday.
Here's a sampling of Brown's take on Diana in 2011: "Gliding sleekly into her 40s, her romantic taste would have moved to men of power over boys of play."
Diana would have had a Facebook page with millions of followers and named "Bridget Jones' Diary" as one of her favorite movies. She would have lived in a New York City loft and been married at least twice to men on both sides of the Atlantic. She would have enjoyed front-row seating next to Victoria Beckham during New York's Fashion Week, owned an iPhone and been totally devoted to philanthropic causes when not doting on sons Harry and William.
Many have found the digital manipulation of Diana and Brown's imagining of the princess' future revolting.
The London Telegraph called the cover photo "ghoulish" and dubbed Brown "Newsweek's grave robber." The newspaper supposes Newsweek's motivation was to sell magazines. E! Online wrote a story titled "Bad taste alert!" Jezebel, which reports on issues related to women, penned a reaction under the headline "Undead Princess Strolls with Kate Middletown on Ridiculous Newsweek Cover." Mediaite's Lizzie Manning said she didn't take issue with Brown's creative prose. It was the photos that creeped Manning out , more than Brown's writing. Popular blog Cafemom criticized Brown in an open letter to her, addressing Brown as Bonnie Fuller, the American magazine editor famous for print tabloid entertainment.
"You took a woman who has been dead for 14 years and made up an entire story about what she would look like, where she would be living (the Big Apple of course!), what she would be doing (apparently lots of Botox!), and perhaps most importantly, what she would be wearing (Galliano - the anti-Semite - and J.Crew a la Michelle Obama!) ... if she were still alive today," Cafemom wrote. "This is pure brilliance. I've never understood why a magazine called Newsweek would waste its time having reporters write about current events or world affairs when it could simply make up stuff."
The British Brown, new to the helm at the news magazine, formerly edited the New Yorker and founded the Daily Beast. She is well-known for her observations about British politics and culture, as well as American culture.
Wednesday morning, Brown explained why she wrote the story the way she did.
"I wanted to make her a time traveler," she said, adding that she viewed Diana as a "global, mover shaker kind of woman."
"She loved the limelight but she would have professionalized all that humanitarian giving," Brown said. "She would have been very much a woman of our time."
The Newsweek package isn't without straight reporting. The magazine highlights causes Diana championed by tracking how much good they've done after her death.
And the magazine isn't the only media outlet pondering what Diana would have been like at 50. The U.K.'s Daily Express newspaper also published a digitally aged image of Diana's face. It also is not the first magazine to attempt a fictionalized story about a famous and beloved life cut short. In April 2008, Esquire magazine imagined, in narrative form, what actor Heath Ledger's last few days alive might have been like. Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose that year. The magazine's editor at the time insisted the piece was neither stunt nor gimmick.

From the point of view of a former devoted reader, this once-proud journalistic edifice is truly in the cra*per now. Nothing left to do but flush. What were the owners expecting when they hired the likes of Tina Brown?

A case of Tina Brown wishing she was royal. Extremely poor taste
Joey Isotta-Fraschini
Many posters are bothered that the British royal family is getting any attention at all. I understand this jealousy from all of its sources.
We all understand it.
Therefore, the next time you want to say, "oh, the Royals, who cares," be assured that we all understand what you are really saying about yourself.
ANYTHING TO SELL THE MAGAZINE.
I can't believe how offended people have gotten over this.
Who cares? Seriously – the royalty are all living the high life at the tax payer's expense.
Must be so hard to inherit fame and fortune. Boo hoo.
I remember how special her wedding was & how devistating it was when she died. It never seemed fair for Charles to marry her for heir's, she die & he's with Camille now. I think her appeal, like Kate's is they were common. I totally disagree with Newsweek, to disrespect her this way.
This really isn't that big of a deal.
William Marcy
When do we have enough of Tina Brown? And why do we have to suffer her yet one more time?
i vote i couldnt care less about the british monarchy. sad she died but i dont want to follow the very thing we rebelled successfully against
I would say it's a bit unseemly and shows rather poor taste.
I'm sorry but this was just AWFUL. I wonder how her kids felt seeing this article and AWFUL MADE UP photos! If the author thinks she didn't offend anyone???, maybe she should ask Diana's son's!!!!
. They have too much class to probably tell her what they really think.
The editors say that this story is not be a stunt or a gimmick. Well it sure as hell ain't news either. For a magazine that is called Newsweek, you would think that actual "news" would be the central criteria of their cover stories - not a fantasy about a deceased, high school dropout with mental problems who chased married men for a hobby. Thank God, now I can quit reading People or National Enquirer - Newsweek has it all.
Am I the only who is sick of Princess Diana?
I thought the people in England had more class than what Tina Brown is displaying. Shame on you Tina!

I didn't mind it at all, and I don't think Diana would have either. I thought it was interesting actually. Stories/photos like this have been done about other people, but for some reason people are so touchy about Diana. She was a human being, period. She was a good person who did good things. It's sad she isn't around to continue that work, but her legacy lives on.
I have been a devoted Newsweek reader for many years and I was as shocked as everyone else by this cover story. It was just plain stupid and totally unnecessary.
Maybe Newsweek needed to be shaken up a bit, but Tina Brown seems to be doing an especially poor job of it. Bring back Newsweek's former editor, Jon Meacham. He had such class and integrity.
