Shortly after moving to Dublin, I set out on the mission to have an authentic conversation with someone. And this someone, according to our teacher, Aisling at Ace English Language Learning, could not be just anyone. It had to be a stranger, preferably good-natured and unsuspicious, and a native speaker.
The Spanish guy raised his hand. 'My flatmate from Singapore. Can I talk to him?'
Aisling smiled. 'I'm going to put you into pairs,' she said. 'This way, when you engage with a stranger, one of you can talk, and the other observe. And the next time, you switch. On Monday, I would like each of you to give me a ten-minute presentation on who your partner talked to and what their conversations were like. Do not cheat,' – she twirled her pen like a wand – 'I know a fake conversation when I hear one.'
She took out the roster and began to pair us up. José and Elsa. Judit and Vojtech. Yisoo and Xiaopeng. With some enjoyment, I watched as Aisling grappled with our names before she returned to being her impeccable self. Then, as if detecting my thoughts, she shot me a warning look. Brushing her pen across the page, she searched for the next match.
'You two should be a perfect pair, Nan and Akmaral,' she announced.
Akmaral and I were the only Asian girls in the class. I had rather mixed feelings about her while it was clear she simply didn't like me. When the class finished, the two of us walked to a nearby Spar to discuss our plan. Akmaral ordered a skinny latte and a quiche. I bought a banana. Then we sat down beside the window.
Akmaral had not said a word the whole way there. With a deadpan expression, she laid out her food on the table.
'First, I want to apologize for the last time,' I said.
She looked at me, frowning. Then she tore a satchel of Sweet'n Low and poured the powder into her coffee before beginning to talk: 'Do you mean the time you asked me if I was Chinese or the time you called me Kamora?' She spoke English slowly. Her accent reminded me of the villains in spy movies.
'Both. Both times. And I'm really sorry, Akmaral,' I said, articulating her name with caution.
She narrowed her eyes, as if weighing up a proposal. 'Actually, I wouldn't mind being called Kamora. It's a nice name,' she said. 'But I really hate when people ask me if I'm from China. Do they understand there are other countries in Asia?'
'Um.' I held my banana. 'They do. I mean, I do.'
'Well then, you're forgiven,' she said, sending a fork of quiche into her mouth.
I was uncertain if she was being sarcastic but decided to take it literally and peeled my banana. We ate and discussed Aisling's assignment. I said I'd love to practice my oral English with native speakers but sometimes I found them difficult to understand, and the more I worried about not getting what they were saying the more likely it'd happen. Akmaral said she had similar issues, even back in Kyrgyzstan. She would always be struck, in the middle of a conversation, by the unattainability of real human communication. She wondered whether being gay had set her up to be a hopeless sceptic.
I swallowed the mushed banana. 'I've never been in a relationship.'
'I wouldn't mind dating an Irish girl,' Akmaral said, skimming around the shop. 'Some of them are very pretty.'
Next to us, a middle-aged woman shifted in her chair. She had a pair of enormous eyes which gave her a look of innate surprise. She bit into her sandwich.
'Let's focus on the assignment,' I said.
Akmaral agreed. It seemed to her that the biggest challenge to having a good conversation with a native speaker was to avoid exchanges fixated on cultural stereotypes. Noticing I was lost, she asked, among all my encounters here, what the most common topic had been.
I thought about it. 'China?'
'Exactly!' She clapped and glanced at the woman next to us who was now rustling the sandwich package. In this case, Akmaral carried on saying, in order to talk about the real stuff, we had to find a way to stop being viewed as exotic objects.
I couldn't help but visualise pineapples. 'Totally,' I said.
Akmaral shot me a smile. 'Any ideas on places for finding good native speakers? Someone who's open-minded, free-spirited, maybe even, a little bit anti-establishment?'
I furled up the banana skin, processing her question. Then I remembered the flyer I had used as the placemat for my noodles this morning.
'The flea market? A friend mentioned there's a big one on Sunday,' I said, hoping the paper hadn't become completely sodden by the oyster sauce.
Akmaral was late for the market. While I was waiting for her on the street, two separate elderly women came up to me, wondering if I was lost. One of them told me about her trip to Beijing some years ago. In a muddle of syllables I managed to catch 'the donkey', 'lake' and 'roasting'. I smiled and nodded when I saw a small East Asian woman coming our way in a white T-shirt with what seemed to be a large dildo printed on it.
I gasped, which startled the old woman in front of me. She mumbled something about love.
'Sorry, my friend's here.' I dashed towards Akmaral.
She waved at me, smiling proudly while thrusting out her chest, on which stretched, indisputably, a dramatic pink dildo with bulging purple veins.
'Here's one for you,' she said, pulling out another t-shirt from her handbag and spreading it in front of me like a flag.
I was not surprised to see that this one showed a naked female torso. 'My housemate bought these for a hen party,' Akmaral said.
'You want me to put it on?' I glared at the aggressive-looking bosom.
Although I had asked the question, I was fairly certain that there was no chance I would wear the breasts. But Akmaral said she had thought about it long and hard and the only way to outdo our foreignness was to present something louder than our ethnicities. I told her that even though I agreed with her in spirit, this t-shirt was too absurd. Impertinent, I emphasised. After all, we were new to this country, and I didn't want to get into trouble.
'Stop being so Chinese!' Akmaral wailed, gripping my arm. 'Plus, think about it: would you like to be friends with someone who'd be interested in a stranger wearing an erotic t-shirt or someone who enquires about your opinions on the Chinese economy?'
Her hand was surprisingly cold and soft, like a baby bird popping out from a nest.
We walked through a cramped laneway into a large courtyard where rows of tents stood in a riot of colours. Bulky old suitcases were piled beside the entrance, leaning against a thick wooden headboard and torn armchairs. Hordes of people circulated in jeans, cropped jumpers and biker boots. Music whipped through the air.
'This looks fun,' Akmaral said, tugging me to the first stall.
While she checked out a ceramic egg cup, I adjusted my body in the stranger's t-shirt, crossing and uncrossing my arms. Around us, in pairs or groups, people chatted with one another. Some held cups of coffee, some gesticulated while laughing, nodding. Their mouths moved rapidly, their faces in hypnotic joy. I wondered what it felt like to be part of these conversations, an actor on the stage rather than a distant spectator. My eyes met with those of a couple of women, who were whispering behind a jewellery stall. Before I could configure an earnest smile, their eyes fluttered and shied away.
'Tell me, Nan, what's your topic today?' Akmaral asked as she tossed down a red hat before moving on. The stall owner scowled at us.
I crossed my arms again, smiling at him apologetically. 'My topic?'
'The thing you talk about. Your thing,' she said, browsing along the stalls. 'Have you prepared anything?'
'Is that what we are supposed to do?'
She said it was not part of the assignment. But back home, her father used to take her to dinner parties with foreign guests and he always asked her to decide, beforehand, if she wanted to talk about ponies or kitties.
'What does that mean?'
'It's a slightly idiotic but efficient method,' Akmaral said, picking up a small succulent in a plastic pot and smiling at it. 'If I talked about horses, the guests tended to think I was an adventurous girl; if I went with cats, I was sweet and kind. Very simple. Your topic determines your image. And a distinct image vitalises the conversation.'
'But I thought we are here to have authentic conversations? And that's why we're wearing these t-shirts.'
'Right!' She clapped. 'This t-shirt could be your topic.'
'What? No, I don't want to talk about these.' I glanced at my chest. Now the printed breasts looked like two badly fried eggs.
She laughed and we arrived at a second-hand record stall. A young man wearing a bandana stood behind it. 'Are you guys going to or coming back from a hen party?' he asked.
Akmaral winked at me. 'We're hoping to be invited to one. My friend here can tell you more details.'
We had made no arrangement about who was going to talk first and now it was too late to call a formal discussion. 'Yes, I'd like to go to a hen party,' I said like a parrot.
'Why?' the guy laughed.
I tried my best to maintain a placid expression while my brain burned, searching for an answer. 'I've never had any girlfriends and I suppose, I do wonder what it feels like to have good girlfriends and to go to a party with them.'
'Oh, I'm sorry to hear that,' he said. 'How come?'
'Um, it's probably because I'm fat – I was even fatter, when I was a teenager.' As soon as the words escaped me, I was petrified. I could not believe I had just told to a stranger something I'd never expressed before. A blistering liberation shot through my body.
Both the guy and Akmaral looked at me. Before either of them said anything, a voice called: 'Excuse me, ladies.'
It was a man of medium stature who claimed to be the manager of the market. He said, with a rueful smile, that he had received some complaints about an incident of public indecency, and he would appreciate it if we could change our clothes before we did anymore shopping.
'Say it again?' Akmaral asked, raising her chest.
The manager smiled patiently. 'Everybody is free to wear whatever clothes they like,' he said. 'And I personally have no issue at all with your choice of outfit, Ms. But understand this is a public space, and some members of our community have reported you to our office, saying they were extremely disturbed by the obscene image on your t-shirt. Therefore, I'm wondering, if you could respect their feelings and change into something else?'
'Yes, totally!' I jumped in before Akmaral reacted. 'We're really sorry. We didn't mean to cause any trouble. We'll change now.'
He looked at me, as if just noticing my existence. 'Oh, no,' he said. 'Ms, You're fine. Just your friend,' – he pointed at Akmaral who had flashed out her middle finger like a sword – 'what's causing us the problem is the thing on her t-shirt.'
Akmaral rushed ahead of me until she came to the red light at a wide intersection. Yellow buses streamed past like pikes in the bright sunlight. A giant cathedral stood across the road.
'Why did you say sorry to that man?' she asked without looking at me.
'I, I was just trying to get us out of trouble,' I said.
I had changed back to my own blouse. Akmaral, on the other hand, was wearing her t-shirt inside out. The dildo now faced her chest, leaving on the other side a long stroke of smudged purple and red, like an old wound. 'Whatever,' she said. 'I'm starving now.'
When the light changed, we walked pass the crossroads and the cathedral, searching for a café. A while later, we ended up in Centra, the only shop that was open.
'I hate Sunday,' said Akmaral, picking out the stringy leaves from her salmon and potato salad. 'And I hate rocket.'
Quietly, I chewed my egg sandwich, searching for the right topic to brighten up the atmosphere. 'So, what shall we do with the assignment?'
She looked up from her salad.
'A ten-minute presentation is a lot,' I said. 'We probably need to each have two conversations, just to be sure.'
She shook her head. 'You hard-working Chinese.'
I felt slightly insulted but decided to not waste time exploring my feelings and focus instead on the school assignment. I told Akmaral that since our last discussion, I had read about cultural stereotypes and had come to realise the urgency of freeing ourselves from the imagined pictures westerners had of us and present ourselves instead as authentic individuals. In this sense, I proposed, we could think about our interests and find a group of people who shared our passion on which we could base the conversations. Then I asked her if there were things she was particularly into.
'Music,' she said. 'I'd like to go to a pub and see some live music.'
I took out my phone and opened Google maps, zoomed in on Dublin city centre and punched music into the search bar. Most of the pub performances were not on until the evening. Then I saw there was a Smithfield Summer Music Festival starting in an hour.
I showed my phone to Akmaral and she finally smiled. 'Good woman,' she said.
We headed towards the northside, passing empty laneways, run-down houses and crossing the Liffey, before finally arriving at a large square enclosed by modern complexes. The excessive quantity of glass walls made me think of China.
In the centre of the square, a steel stage had been erected but the performance hadn't begun. A slow melody played in the background. The beer stands and food trucks were open. People of various kinds assembled in front of them.
'Let's get beer,' Akmaral said. 'I heard alcohol is a good lubricant for conversations.'
'Hmm.' I calculated the money I had left. 'I'm fine. You go.'
She grabbed my hand. 'Come on. My treat.'
As we stood side by side, waiting in the queue, I felt my cheeks were burning like pancakes. Was I having a reaction to alcohol before drinking? To settle my nerves, I asked Akmaral if she'd talk first this time. She agreed and looked around for potential interlocutors. A middle-aged man behind us met her eyes. He smiled warmly and said: 'Ni hao.'
'I don't speak Chinese,' said Akmaral.
'Are you not Chinese?' asked the man.
'Don't speak English either.' She waited with me in silence until we got our beer and walked back to where we had been standing. Akmaral drank a mouthful. 'I'm turning my t-shirt back.'
'Please don't,' I begged.
She insisted and I suggested perhaps wearing the breasts one if she had to which only exasperated her further. While I was suffocating in the inevitability of our damnation, I heard a woman's voice: 'Why are you wearing your t-shirt inside out?'
She was slender and young with short blond hair and crystal blue eyes. She smiled at us and repeated her question.
'Because it has an obscene image on it,' Akmaral said.
The woman laughed. 'Well it looks beautiful on this side. It reminds me of the works of Yves Klein.'
I had no idea what she was talking about. But Akmaral smiled. 'Then it's not the right colour, no?'
The woman squinted her eyes and stared at Akmaral's chest. 'It's very beautiful,' she said softly.
The hair at the back of my neck stood up. 'She's wearing this t-shirt because she didn't want people to ask about her nationality,' I interrupted.
'Oh?' the woman said, checking us out. 'Are you Chinese?'
To my surprise, Akmaral was not infuriated by her question. Instead, she gave a faint smile. 'My mother was Chinese.'
I couldn't believe my ears. The woman seemed surprised as well. 'Was?' she asked.
'She passed away long time ago,' Akmaral said.
'I'm so sorry to hear that,' the woman said. 'What was she like?'
Akmaral glanced at me. 'She was pretty much a typical Chinese; diligent, kind, apologising all the time and she never dared to stand up for herself.'
Her words echoed in my ears. She had turned back to the woman and I could only see her profile. For a moment, she looked sad and incredibly familiar. My eyes were stinging when I saw a tall blond man approach with two pints in his hands. He said something to the woman in words I couldn't understand.
The woman took a glass and replied with another series of incomprehensible sounds. Just when I thought I'd completely lost my English, she turned to us. 'This is my boyfriend Stefan. And I'm Mila. Would you like to hang out together? We're visiting from Germany and would love to make some friends in Dublin.'
Stunned, I drank my beer, the liquid unforeseeably cold.
'We can't,' Akmaral said deadpan. 'We're supposed to find native speakers to talk to. It's an assignment for school.'
After the German couple left, Akmaral and I stood idly. People started to flow towards the stage, like the tide. But we remained still.
Akmaral looked at me. 'Now where are we going to get authentic conversations?'
I opened my mouth. There were so many questions I wanted to ask her.
'We can probably fake some,' I said.
She laughed, giving me a thumbs up. Then the music began.

Mr. Moses Dorbor: "We're bringing this to the public just in case."
— As LBS Workers Raise Red Flag on CDC upcoming radio, TV stations
News that the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) of President George Weah has planned to establish its own radio and television stations, has been greeted with sharp reaction from the leadership of the Liberia Broadcasting System Workers' Union (LIBSWU).
Accordingly, LIBSWU, said that it learned of the CDC's plan to establish a radio and television station through multiple "credible" sources.
LIBSWU in a release issued on Thursday, September 12, 2019, in Monrovia, said the establishment of the radio and television stations the ruling party is intended to undermine the existence of the state-run broadcast institution; a complete contravention to the decree that established the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS).
Moses Dorbor, LIBSWU president, said LBS was established by a decree under the People's Redemption Council (PRC decree number 20) on October 10, 1980, to amend chapter 87 of the Public Authorities Law. It was established as a broadcast entity to disseminate and promulgate government's policy.
Dorbor said that under this decree, LBS is a development-oriented public service broadcasting system with the authority to establish a central programming facility and regional broadcasting, noting that its goals are to support rural development by promoting several initiatives.
Dorbor added, "It is to increase the utilization by the rural population of existing government services, the expansion of these services to a greater portion of the rural population, increased communication between the villages and the local, regional and national government, increased self-help initiative and increased involvement and participation in local and national development efforts."
Following the colossal defeat of the CDC senatorial candidate, Paulita Wie, in the recent Montserrado County by-elections, Deputy Information Minister Eugene Fahngon, in one of his Facebook live videos on his "Facts vs Fiction" monologues, noted that one of the reasons the CDC candidate did not win is because the party did not have its own media outlet. Fahngon referred to related privately-owned outlets, including King's FM, and Clar TV, owned by President George M. Weah, as well as MCCTV, a media outlet set up on the Facebook platform by Mayor Jefferson T. Koijee, for the Monrovia City Corporation. Koijee is the chairman of the CDC Youth League and has frequently used MCCTV to propagate anti-opposition messages.
According to Fahngon, such media outlets do not belong exclusively to the CDC, therefore they cannot be as effective in the party's political campaigns. It appears now that the CDC leadership have taken heed to Fahngon's advice.
Now, a key point of concern about the CDC establishing its own media outlets is the question of where the funding will come from. Amid reports about the outright refusal of government officials of declaring their assets, coupled with budget manipulations in the Legislature after the national budget is passed, LBS employees fear that these are loopholes through which public funds might be sourced to fund the CDC's private media enterprise.
The state broadcaster itself has consistently been subject to cuts in its annual budgetary allotments.
During the 2016-2017 budget year, LBS received an allocation of US$1,262,390. However, in 2017-2018 that amount was cut by over 49 percent to US$620,724 something that LBS workers believe is hampering the effective operations of the station across the country. In 2018-2019, LBS' budget climbed slightly to US$625,255, but could plummet to US$562,201, according projections for 2019-2020. According to the 2019-2020 draft national budget, LBS has asked for 1,010,628.
Dorbor believes that if the CDC–led government is to establish a partisan media outlet, it must firstly repeal the act that created the LBS to undo its statutory mandate.
Dorbor said that with this act, it becomes the Liberian government's sole responsibility to fully provide financial support to LBS to carry out its functions, and government parallel to the LBS can establish no new radio and television stations.
Besides, the Union's president said the government's financial support to LBS is from taxpayers' money, and establishing radio and television stations parallel to the station will be a "disservice to Liberians taxpayers.
Dorbor is however warned the CDC–led government not to tread the path of former President Charles Ghankay Taylor, who attempted to push aside LBS by prioritizing his privately-owned KISS FM radio and television stations.
He recalled how similar attempts were made by the 53rd Legislature to establish a radio station; an idea that the public strongly resisted.
Dorbor said during the administration of former President Taylor, LBS was not supported at all. The station, according to him, experienced intermittent blackouts of service, thereby rendering it insignificant to the Liberian people, something he fears could be repeated if the CDC is allowed to erect its own media outlets.
He said currently, all LBS out-stations have been off the air for the past several months, due to the lack of operational funds, including a shortage of diesel fuel to run the generators.
Meanwhile, employees have called for a mass meeting to formally engage President George Weah on the issue any time soon.

He is saying the right thing, why the CDC did not operate their own station during the years they were in opposition, if they had money to do so? It means they will be using Liberia tax dollars to run their private, propaganda venture, those are funds that are needed badly to operate the LBS, it is right for the alarm now thanks.
Charley Price September 14, 2019 at 3:30 pm
Mr. Gbada Flomo
You couldn't have said it better. The primary reason for the CDC wanting to establish its own radio station is for propaganda purposes.
The world has always witnessed these kinds of scenarios time after time when despots take over the reign of countries.
Some signs of the time that show that Liberia is heading for a bumpy ride are: the formation of death squads, like the Weah's Strike Force; the usurping of the powers of the judicial branch of government, like the unconstitutional impeachment of Associate Justice Jan'neh; the cracking down on the rights of citizens to peaceably assemble, like the Weah-instigated attacks against supporters of Telia; sanctioned killings, like the murder of the late Innis at Central Bank; massively expropriating public funds through scam, like the missing 25 billion and 25 million dollars; stealthily repudiating the powers of all integrity institutions, like the weakening of the functions of the GAC, the LEITI, the LACC, the CSA and so forth.
The clamoring of the CDC to operate its own broadcasting network is simply based on the fact that the current LBS mandate does not cloth it with the authority to be extremely CDC-propaganda focused. A fully established CDC broadcasting network will devote its time 24/7 disseminating lies and misinformation to the people. This is the objective.
The activities of totalitarians and those of the free press do not co-exist. If Weah is to be successful in achieving his goals of prolonging his stay in power, then, freedom of the press will eventually have to go.
tonyleewaye2013 September 15, 2019 at 6:59 am
Fellow Liberians,
The bitter experience of what took place in Rwanda, with the Government of Rwanda at that time using media to influence and encourage tribal conflict, committing terror against peaceful citizens of that Nation, is gradually creeping into the Liberian political theater. The proposed CDC's Radio and Television Stations will certainly be used to propagate hate messages, encouraging CDCians to wage war on fellow Liberians who opposes their policies and political ideologies. This is the greatest danger facing Liberia's democracy and the future of free, fair and transparent elections in Liberia. If nothing is done to stop this madness, the credulous behaviors of some Liberians will eventually lead our Nation to allow Weah and his criminal gangsters to force us into another civil unrest, that might even surpass what we experienced in our fourteen years of uncivil conflict. Some might call me a pessimist, but the threat of instability and conflict looming over our Nation is real.
The current unusual wave of activities designed to circumvent the democratic process are all attempts by George Weah and the CDC to perpetuate themselves in power against the will of the majority. The news of the arrival of military vehicles and the reported arms secretly brought into the Country by the Weah's administration is a clear signal that CDC is preparing for war against the Liberian people. Interestingly, Jefferson Koigee has placed his Monrovia City Police under the control and direction of the CDC Militant Sabu Unit, which has been training for combat readiness. As Liberians can recalled, the CDC has been using the Liberia National Police as private security to protect its political establishment. Utterances originating from members and officials of the CDC clearly shows that she has no interest in free, fair and transparent elections and the democratic future of the Nation, for which Liberians fought to achieve. The proposed Constitutional Amendments which is being manipulated at the Liberian Senate, without the inputs of the people, is a typical example of creeping dictatorial tendency.
My Fellow Liberians, be warned! Dictatorship has finally arrived at our door-steps in Liberia with brutality inching to be meted out against any opposition. It's now, "US" v.s "Them." And unfortunately, those we elected to represent our collective interests from our 73 districts, along with our Senators are in cohort with this criminal enterprise to loot and keep our people in perpetual poverty. These bunch of reprobates, masquerading as leaders will not relent until they plunge this Nation into another civil conflict. We should not complacently allow these criminal gangs to initiate another conflict amongst our already suffering people. Weah and his criminal enterprise must be stopped. Liberians must rise up now, not later, to stop this menace. If Liberians sit idly, hoping that God will perform miracles-expecting a free, fair and transparent elections to transfer power, comes 2023, Liberians will be day-dreaming and it will be little too late.
Revelations from Miss Jestina Taylor for which she was kidnapped, tortured, raped and left to die is real and must be taken seriously. The threat to Liberia's peace, security and her democratic future is real and must claim the undivided attention of all Liberians and our International Partners. We, as sober-minded patriotic Liberians have legal and moral obligations to ensure that Liberia is politically stable and is democratically thriving and serving, to improve the lives of her citizens. The level of criminality in our Nation in which the so-called "untouchables" are not affected by what this Government dubbed as, "Salary Harmonization," amounts to economic crimes against the people and a criminal conspiracy to keep the vast majority of Liberians in perpetual poverty. The fact that this so-called "salary harmonization" only affects and impacts the struggling poor in society clearly indicates the mindsets of those charged with the responsibility to conduct the affairs of our Nation.
The critical questions are: 1. In a Nation with a total National Budget of less than half of a billion dollars, why must Representatives and Senators pay themselves a lion share of the national income of the Nation, anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 USD per month besides their perks? 2. Why is President Weah spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on foreign trips with no benefits to the Nation and people? 3. When will the Government of President George Weah investigate the disappearance of US $25 million and the Liberian 16 billion dollars, along with all other financial crimes captured in national audit reports in Liberia? 4. Given the economic hardship in the Nation and the down-ward trajectory of the future of the Liberian Economic, why is the Weah's Government importing arms and military vehicles at this time, instead of investments in key sectors to improve food security and provide employment for our large youth population? 5. What is the source or sources of President Weah's wealth to construct 49 personal mansions and purchase private jet in less than two years since he took office as President of Liberia? 6. Given that it has been researched and established that decentralization will help to improve governance and allow the people to hold their local government officials accountable, what plan has the CDC lead Government put in place for the implementation of the proposed decentralization process?
Quite honestly, the level of criminality under this CDC lead Government is not just troubling, it is damn right dangerous for the peace, security and cohesiveness of our people. It has the propensity to derail peace and stability in our Nation. And so, we must unite and hold the Weah's Government accountable. We cannot continue to watch from the spectators bench. Also, please note that no amount of militarization of CDC's Sabu militant groups will deter Liberians from speaking and writing the truth.The Liberian National Police and Military must understand that they are hired to work for the Liberian people and not the party in power. Keep in mind that Sergeant Doe had all the military hardware and was removed and eventually killed. Liberia belongs to all Liberians and not just a select few with CDC's membership. Mark my words! Liberia and Liberians Will Rise. That's how I see it. The people are watching with eagle eyes.

DOMAIN NAME TRADER LURES INVESTORS
I I Tech Finance News
(Aug 14, 2000)
Trading Internet domain names in the current environment could be what trading junk bonds was like in the late '70s and early '80s, according to Pascal Pernet, assistant v.p. at London-based Credit Suisse Private Banking's special services group. Credit Suisse took part in a $10 million round for GoldNames, a Jerusalem-based company that is the first to trade Internet names in the same way an investment bank trades stocks or bonds. So far, GoldNames is the only company that has hit on the idea, Pernet said. "Most Internet companies just want to set up a portal for something," he said. "That isn't very creative compared to this."
Pernet said the value for a site is having a good name. GoldNames can provide the names for sale, collect service fees for trading names between companies, or offer the use of a name along with marketing while retaining ownership. Two decades ago, few people invested in junk bonds, and it was years before the market took off and they became commonplace, Pernet said. GoldNames may be in the same position, and could reap the rewards if the trading of Internet domain names grows the way junk bond trading did.
The only problem GoldNames might run into is the lack of names it has registered in English, but Pernet said this will become less of a problem as time goes on because more Internet users speak languages other than English as a native tongue. He added that the time horizon on the investment is long—at least in terms of "Internet time." "It will be five years before we know if this is really going to work," Pernet said. Credit Suisse Private Equity was also attracted to GoldName because of its chief operating officer, Weldon Turner, who spent 14 years as a banker at Salomon Brothers and then Credit Suisse First Boston. Other members of the management team include Joe Schell, the global head of technology banking at Merrill Lynch. Israel-based venture capital firm Yazam invested $2.25 million in the round.

WEBCON BPS in multilingual environments
September 16, 2015 May 18, 2018 WEBCON Publisher Forms
applies to version 8.2.x and higher, author: Paweł Jawień
WEBCON BPS has been prepared for use by multinational companies and in multilingual environments. Due to the components used in the system, certain reconfigurations are required in both WEBCON BPS and SharePoint.
The WEBCON BPS users work using their internet browsers, and all data and forms are visualized via MS SharePoint. Therefore, the language in which the user views the system is decided by 3 factors:
Language version of SharePoint
Language version of WEBCON BPS system commands
Language version defined in WEBCON BPS for the processes employed by the user.
Preparing the SharePoint platform
MS SharePoint 2013 supports over 50 languages. The list of available languages can be seen here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff463597.aspx .
In order to configure additional languages in SharePoint, it is necessary to install additional language pack of the front-end servers. Add-ons for the SharePoint server can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=37140 ,
And for SharePoint Foundation 2013 here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35492 .
After installing a language pack, the administrator can define what languages are available for each site (both for existing sites, as well as when creating new sites).
By default, the language in which a user sees the SharePoint site is defined by the language settings of their web browser. However it is possible to override this with Language settings in Language and Region section of each user's profile (only applies to servers with language packs installed).
Language version of WEBCON BPS system commands.
WEBCON BPS system commands, are the various command buttons available to the user which "border" between SharePoint and WEBCON BPS. For example, these commands are the "Reload", "Delete", "New", "Cancel editing" visible on the 'ribbon'.
System commands are built into WEBCON BPS. Currently, the system supports 14 languages:
For mobile devices, system commands support: English, Polish, German and Spanish. Additional languages will be added over time.
Language version defined for processes in WEBCON BPS
Since processes used by the system are defined during the implementation of WEBCON BPS, it is practically impossible for the system provider to prepare translations for every single phrase that may ever be needed.
The system was designed in a way that the administrator is able to update and enter translations for newly created processes, form fields, paths, actions, descriptions and other system elements that the end user will see.
The languages which are supported in WEBCON BPS are defined in Designer Studio's "System settings" tab – "Global parameters" – "Languages".
The language descriptions are entered in a way that is understood by web browsers. A list of codes describing individual languages can be found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533052(v=vs.85).aspx
After defining the available languages, providing translations for the system becomes possible. There are two ways to go around this:
1. Manual method, when defining the system's individual elements (official method).
Every translatable element of process comes with a button beside it (marked in the screenshot above). This allows the administrator, who is designing/updating a process in the system, to provide translations for process elements when they are added. Clicking the button will bring up a window where translations for a phrase can be provided in all defined languages.
2. Export-import method (semi-official).
With the 'as is' license, WEBCON additionally provides an external tool, which exports all translatable phrases from a process to an Excel spreadsheet. This spreadsheet contains additional columns, named after the languages defined in Designer Studio. After entering the desired translations into the Excel file, they can imported into WEBCON BPS.
This tool, along with a manual can be found on this site: https://support.webcon.com in the "Client" section.
"Forcing" a system language, regardless of browser language.
Regardless of translations provided to the system, some companies/institutions choose to use one single system/corporation language throughout their IT systems.
To adhere to this, WEBCON BPS offers the option to set a User's default language.
It is possible to set one specific language, for example en-US. In effect, regardless of any browser settings on the user's computer, WEBCON BPS will always use the selected language.
configuration language multilanguage multilingual multinational system settings

WEBCON BPS 2017 – Limits of form fields and columns


Owatonna, Minn., January 24, 2019 - Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), is seeking proposals from organizations within SMIF's 20-county region interested in hosting full-time AmeriCorps VISTA members.
The AmeriCorps VISTA program supports SMIF's goal of creating economic vitality through entrepreneur development. Members are engaged with nonprofit organizations to build the capacity of programs and services targeted toward diverse populations who are experiencing economic hardship. The focus of VISTA members is to enable organizations to grow minority entrepreneurship through increasing financial literacy, and leveraging the assets of time, talent and resources to build systems to move individuals out of poverty. VISTA members do not engage in direct service activities. Their activities are designed to create a lasting impact on an organization's ability to serve low-income communities through capacity-building. Additionally, VISTA members cannot be engaged in activities that could be considered replacement for a paid staff.
Organizations interested in building processes and systems to move individuals to jobs or build prosperous businesses should apply for this one-year opportunity. VISTAs serve in 501(c) nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, tribal, state and local government agencies to build organizational capacity for conducting anti-poverty work. Organizations that focus solely on advocacy and lobbying are not eligible.
The deadline for community partner site applications is February 22, 2019 at 4:00 pm. Site selections will be made by March 1, 2019, with the term of member service running from August 2019 through August 2020. This is a competitive application process, and SMIF will support up to three sites in the 20-county region. For guidelines and application, visit www.smifoundation.org/vista or contact Barbara Gunderson, AmeriCorps Director, at barbarag@smifoundation.org or 507-456-0353 for more information.


Federal and state False Claims Acts allow individuals (whistleblowers) to report fraud against the government. This ensures that our governments get the products and services they pay for. The Acts reward whistleblowers a portion of the money that these governments recover from corrupt government contractors. In general, the Federal False Claims Act covers fraud involving any federally funded contract, grant or program, except for underpaid taxes. More about underpayment of taxes.
A false claim is a type of fraud. Fraud under the Federal False Claims Act means that a company, contractor, city or county has knowingly presented a false claim for payment to the United States. They used the United States' money for something other than that for which it was provided. In short–it is a lie about how money is spent. See, Detailed Examples. The fraud can occur wherever federal or Florida monies are used to purchase services or goods.
Can a Private Individual Receive an Award for Blowing the Whistle? Yes. But only by filing a False Claims Act lawsuit. Merely informing the government will not result in any reward and may leave the person open to retaliation without the protection of the statute and without any rewards. See, Don't Whistleblowers risk getting fired?

Travel Bulgaria Bulgaria
Edith Sloan (Bulgaria 2001– ) teaches English in a secondary school in Straldiak, Bulgaria. Having been a teacher and school principal in Indiana and Florida, she retired to South Central Florida before she joined the Peace Corps with her husband Rel.
I've got fleabites all over my body — on my back, sides, around the waist, legs and feet. With our traveling to Panagyurishte this week and then on to Sofia, I accumulated a few bites just through the normal activity of being out and about, something to which I'm more susceptible than Rel. But by the time we had arrived home last night, I had them everywhere. After analyzing it, it seemed that they could have only come from sitting in an old overstuffed chair for about a half-hour yesterday morning — in the hallway of a hospital in Sofia.
I had made previous arrangements with our medical office to have my six-month eye check-up and Boyko, our doctor, took me to the office of the well-respected eye specialist (she had also checked my eyes last winter before our return to the States). The only place to wait for my appointment was in the hallway chairs (like when our own hospitals become overcrowded and patients have to wait in beds out in the hallways). Next time, however, I think I'll stand.
2.2 lev = $1 When Rel had to return to Panagyurishte to help with training, I decided to accompany him. He had volunteered also for the Orphanage Committee, which raises funds for orphanages around the country (their only funding comes from the government, which is very lax in their contributions). This was the week for the auction, one of the fund-raisers. Items sold at the auction come from Volunteers returning to the States from their two years' service and range from things like clothing to kitchenware. The new trainees have the opportunity to buy items they didn't bring but may need (a small bottle of chili powder went for at least 3.50 lev) and the proceeds go to the orphanages. After two days' work, we collected between 700 and 800 lev.
Visiting Panagyurishte for the first time since our training last summer was an eye-opener. Without the stress, tension and pressure of training, I found myself appreciating much more the beauty of the town. Located in the mountains and surrounded by them gives it a natural beauty that other towns located in the plains lack. But there was more to it this time. Much improvement has taken place since our arrival over a year ago (Peace Corps usually trains two consecutive years in the same town). I wasn't sure if the improvements were real or imagined, since this time I was coming from Straldja rather than from America. But the bus station now has new concrete walkways to buses and a new roof overhead. Windows in the banya that houses the pool (new pool this year) are no longer all broken; they have been replaced by whole windows or white coverings. The streets are cleaner and gardens along the sidewalk are better maintained with less trash. The park now has newly painted benches and a new children's playground for which the latest PCV found funding. I was also told that the Mayor in the first meeting this summer confirmed that they were able to make many improvements due to Peace Corps' training there.
Edith and Rel It's amazing how much a place can change when there's money available to fund improvements. Already the grant that Rel got for the Roma school's playground here in Straldja has made an impact, just from the repairs done to the wall surrounding the school and playground (it LOOKS so much better).
The Roma school not only created their own NGO (non-government organization) but also approached the ceramic tile factory in town to donate tons of clay for the surface of the playground. So it seems that the attitude of "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps" may be starting to work here.
Even though I submitted my SPA grant for our English Resource Room in June, it won't be reviewed until Oct. Then, if we get it, the funds won't be available until December. So sometimes it takes a while, but maybe our patience will be rewarded. Rel also has several more grants entering their last stages of possible approval. (Rosie told us today that the Yambol radio station mentioned Rel's Roma school grant "on the air" and gave his name.)
To support the
Peace Corps Partnership Program I've been considering writing a "partnership" grant for the women's quilting group. However, I feel I'm already in partnership with at least three U.S. sources that have been providing materials. I just received a package of fabric pieces from the Tantie Quilters in Okeechobee, a box of quilting books and magazines collected by Nilsa in North Carolina, and a box of more fabric from my cousin, Carolyn, in Seattle. Now the next challenge is to put it all to work with the group here in October. START YOUR ENGINES! With the sewing and creative skills that these women have, I'm hoping they'll just be able to take off on their own. (Transferring inches and feet to millimeters and centimeters as well as English to Bulgarian are the biggest challenges!)
I'm thinking that some students at school may be interested in putting together a "tied" quilt during the school year. The project would require, again, both their English and math skills, to say nothing of their creativity skills.
Edith ready to dance Just before we left for Panagyurishte, we had dinner at the hotel with Rosie, her husband, and Martina, her daughter. Rosie explained that August 2 was a name day called "Ilinden," the feast day for St. Ilia (Elijah), so that women with that name celebrated. It seems that St. Ilia was believed to send thunderstorms and lightning. "Elijah, in Bulgarian Orthodox tradition, is a transmuted version of Perun, a pagan god of lightning and stormy heavens." (Balkan Ghosts)
In talking about names, Rosie also explained that, under Communism, there was a list from which parents could choose names for their children. Any name, like John, that sounded too American was not part of the list. Traditionally here, girls are named for their grandmothers and boys for their grandfathers. However, if, during Communism, that name wasn't on the list, it couldn't be used.
There is a legend here, Rosie said, about a dish called "Amambaildah." While Bulgaria was still under the Turkish yoke, a Turk came into a home and demanded food. He was fed a dish of sweet and sour eggplant that included garlic, onions, sweet peppers, sugar, vinegar and salt. After so much of it, he began to yell, "Stop, stop, I've had enough." And that's how the dish got its name. Amambaildah is a Turkish word meaning, "Stop, stop, I've had enough."
A well-traveled and knowledgeable person told us the other day that those countries under Soviet rule who retained their own identities despite difficulties have had a much easier time of it since the Soviet downfall than those that didn't. For example, Bulgaria, despite 40+ years of Communism, didn't really adopt the Soviet identity, but instead remained true to its own history and traditions. However, other countries that were actually member states of the USSR, like Moldova (which never had their own country anyway), and Uzbekistan are having more problems making the transition back to their own country identity. With the Soviets, it was "total governmental control and no local say, resulting in a pessimistic 'can't do' attitude so why try" and that's difficult to overcome. There is some of that here in Bulgaria, but not to the extent, we're told, that it is in these other countries.
Rel tells me that the Mayor of Straldja, while visiting a Maryland city in the States for three months last winter, attended city council meetings and came away very impressed with the way local citizens spoke out in the meetings and actually participated in the decision-making process. Here, there is no such thing: no sunshine law, no ombudsman (representative of the people in government), and citizens are not told of upcoming meetings, let alone be invited to them. So the Mayor is now creating a booklet describing the relationship between the administration and local citizens. Whether or not that will result in more openness and citizen participation in government here remains to be seen.
A Straldja story: Michael, a member of the local Bulgarian Orthodox Church, explained today why the wall paintings in the church (icons) are so badly faded and in need of repair. It seems that the paint was supposed to have had eggs in it to help retain longevity. However, the painter, instead of adding the eggs to the paint, ate them! Although he also painted churches in the nearby villages of Atolovo and Zimnitza, the paintings have evidently not faded as quickly — because the parishioners watched to make sure the painter didn't eat the eggs! He also liked to drink and one day, while he lay painting horizontally near the ceiling, he rolled off the scaffolding and died.
Michael, with a partner, is now planning a weeklong "grape festival" in late September. They hope to attract investors for the grapevine "farms." We are told that this is a very fertile area for grapes and, indeed, much of the land is given over for that purpose. In addition, there is a brewery in town that makes wine and rakiya that is well known throughout Bulgaria. Two years ago, Michael had such a festival in mind but could not find enough interest among others. Now there seems to be more interest and people that are willing to help. As I say, just a little investment of money (like Rel's grant) seems to create a "heads-up," people notice, and maybe, just maybe, a sense of "can-do" and prosperity is beginning.

Q: View all git activity on my local machine Is it possible to see all of my recent git activity on my local machine across all of my git repositories? I am generally working on multiple projects with different git hosting solutions (so I can't use GitHub's activity monitor) and I would like to review my recent work for keeping accurate records of what I'm working on.
Thanks!

A: Im not sure if there is a onestop-shop for all your git activity...  I would go into whatever project directories you are worried about and run
git log --author=yourName to see your recent changes.

Q: Cannot append objects to a list I'm having some troubles with my code. This is a budget app in which you can add categories and for every category you can deposit/withdraw money. The problem is that I have to save all the transactions in the format {"amount": x, "description":y} and to do this I create an object of class Amount which is defined in the code, but when I try to append the new Amount object to the list every single element of this list changes to the last object. I understood that when I add an object, all the other elements in the list refer to the same object, and that's probably the problem, but I cannot solve this. Can you help me? Thank you very much

I'm sorry, here is a test you can run

food = budget.Category("Food")
food.deposit(1000, "initial deposit")
food.withdraw(10.15, "groceries")
food.withdraw(15.89, "restaurant and more food for dessert")
clothing = budget.Category("Clothing")
food.transfer(50, clothing)

print(food)

It should print this:
*************Food*************
initial deposit        1000.00
groceries               -10.15
restaurant and more foo -15.89
Transfer to Clothing    -50.00
Total: 923.96

I also have to say that it should print only the first 23 characters of the description, but this shouldn't be important for the question.
@frno that was an attempt to avoid the problem described in the question, I edited the code as it was before that update
Thank you!


Arup – Why Work For Us?
Founded in 1946 with an initial focus on structural engineering, Arup first came to the world's attention with the structural design of the Sydney Opera House, followed by its work on the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arup has since grown into a truly multidisciplinary organisation. Most recently, its work for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing has reaffirmed its reputation for delivering innovative and sustainable designs that reinvent the built environment.
Any career is a journey. That journey at Arup is made more varied and rewarding by giving you the opportunity to help make positive change in the world. Arup is independent, and attracts a diverse mix of independently-minded people. You work in a rich culture that is naturally curious and always stimulating. The projects and places your journey takes you to are in your hands. We provide the right clients, right questions and right tools to take you there. Give your career a renewed sense of purpose. Start your Arup journey here.
If you are the voice that says "why?" and "what if?" and "why not?", you are already an Arup person.
If you don't already work here, you may feel yourself to be a lone voice.
We are a community of intellectually curious minds.
Work at Arup is measured on two dimensions: it must be interesting, and it must be rewarding. We collaborate to make each other better. Constructive debate and restless inquiry are our shared passions. Imagining the future for our clients and the communities they and we serve demands this. Our independence allows it.
As an Arup person, you match high technical achievement (whatever your field, in project management every bit as much as engineering) with the ability to move beyond accepted answers. To take a journey that exercises your, and our, greatest asset: your curiosity.
Personal development is at the heart of our determination to be an employer of choice. We train, coach and mentor our people. To pass professional qualifications. In leadership, in management. To achieve their ambitions.
We use every channel from e-learning to skills networks, tutorials, face-to-face. And we fuel those channels with a substantial proportion of our profits each year, reinvesting in the intellectual capital of everyone who works here.
No external training consultant knows more about our disciplines than the leaders in their fields that already work here. As mentors, as coaches, part of their job is to inspire, inform and guide you, giving you exposure to the best in the business.
Going to work can be a journey of exploration and discovery. We use our international presence and range of disciplines to put those career choices in your reach. For some, this freedom has taken them to different parts of the world. For others, it has taken them from one aspect of the firm's work to another.
Geographically, across our 96 offices we have five times more people on international placement than the average firm.
Within disciplines, you choose your route. Technical or commercial. Client-facing or internal. Leading projects, leading people or leading geographies. In your original discipline or exploring something new. Many people have multiple careers within Arup. Your interests may even lie outside of our current competencies. For example, we sponsored a colleague interested in fire engineering to study his new interest in Sweden, returning to set up a new practice area. That open-mindedness and spirit of adventure is precisely what has allowed us to grow.
Some claim the best way to learn is on the job. But what if you could talk with someone who'd done that job before?
Our 50 skills networks exist to help you share and build your professional knowledge and experience. As well as technical disciplines, they cover HR, transactions, logistics. Over 60% of people in Arup regularly use these networks to learn more, faster. Through open collaboration. Through dialogue. As a contributor. The networks are open to all in Arup and give you access to like-minded professionals with a deep practical interest in your subject.
We're committed to workforce diversity and equal employment opportunities. Those beliefs are reflected in the way we reward staff. The benefits you enjoy working with Arup are tailored to suit the local conditions and needs of our many offices. What they all have in common is a highly competitive package of benefits: a package driven by principles of fairness, transparency and flexibility.
Salary: A fair reward for individual contribution in relation to job size and market.
Profit share: Each year we set aside 40% of profits for Global Profit Share. Open to all permanent members of staff with a minimum of three months service in the financial year, the share allocation is based on grade and service.
Development: We take your development as seriously as you do, both in your personal development and in Continuous Professional Development, up to and beyond professional qualification. Your development is determined by your role, your future role and your aspirations. Arup University exists to bring together all of Arup's very best learning, so that anyone can quickly locate the best development for them, and make it happen. Some locations offer accredited training schemes linked to professional bodies in order to support professional qualification and continuous professional development. Where this happens it includes professional mentoring and experience designed to accelerate your qualification.
International opportunities: One of Arup's long-standing differentiators is its strength in key established locations. Increasingly, we are developing globally and expanding into more and more countries. Mobility is a vital part of what Arup does. The result is many opportunities for international assignment. Each year we create a number of Development Assignment opportunities for staff who show high levels of commitment and potential.
Wellbeing: Your wellbeing is essential to your success and fulfilling your potential, so each of our locations takes this very seriously with a package of benefits designed to make sure you're in great shape – and to get it sorted out quickly if you're not. The type of package you can expect from your location might include medical and dental benefits, employee medical reports. Employee Assistance Schemes for you and your family and insurance schemes to help you cope when things go wrong.
Retirement provision: Retirement benefits/Pensions (401K) are offered in the majority of our locations.
Vacation: All Arup locations offer paid vacation as standard. The number of days varies in line with local market practice.
Some of our locations offer a number of benefits not discussed here – do get in touch with your local office to hear about what working at Arup will bring.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arup (Boston, MA) in October 2017.
I was contacted by email after submitting an online application, then scheduled soon after for a phone interview with two senior engineers. The HR department was easy to communicate with. There was a portal to fill out information that a number of applicants had difficulty with, but it wasn't too bad and HR made sure that nobody was held up by it.

Q: Python, Ошибка при подсчете Задача на пересечение времени
— lesson – начало и конец урока
— pupil – интервалы присутствия ученика
— tutor – интервалы присутствия учителя
Интервалы устроены следующим образом – это всегда список из четного количества элементов. Под четными индексами (начиная с 0) время входа на урок, под нечетными - время выхода с урока. Нужно написать функцию, которая получает на вход словарь с интервалами и возвращает время общего присутствия ученика и учителя на уроке (в секундах).

Astrologers and Tantriks: All varities
Posted on August 17, 2008 by Colrama
There are Good ones and Bad ones
Desi astrologer approached to find lost man in Mexico
Gopal Tekwani was contacted by a Mexican citizen who has been desperately looking for his policeman brother kidnapped by an infamous drug cartel in July
BHUPEN PATEL
Mumbai astrologer Gopal Tekwani who predicted MNS chief Raj Thackeray's separation from the Shiv Sena much before he moved out, has now been approached by a Mexican family to trace their son, a police commandant, kidnapped by a drug cartel in Mexico.
On July 14, Commandant Gerardo Valdes was kidnapped by six men while driving in Saltillo in Mexico. Police said an unidentified man called them and claimed that Valdes had been taken by the infamous drug cartel Juarez. The entire police machinery was pressed into service to trace Valdes. Three weeks after Valdes disappeared and with the police having no luck finding him, his brother Norberto approached Tekwani through a common friend.
"Tekwani also predicts the future on the phone. Some of the things he said about me were accurate and that's when I decided to ask him to help find my brother," said Norberto, one of the eleven Valdes siblings, who works as consultant for a risk management firm.
Tekwani said, "The family approached me some weeks ago wanting to find out the whereabouts of their son. At this stage I can only say that Gerardo is guarded by two police gun yielding men, dressed up in some kind of army attire. I have also described the features of one of the kidnappers to an artist and have sent it to the family."
"Norberto contacted me through a common friend called Firdous Patel who works with him in the same organisation," Tekwani added.
As per reports in the US, the government there has deployed 25,000 soldiers across the country to battle drug gangs which have responded with bold attacks on the military and police. Over 4,000 people have been killed in turf wars, assassinations and shootouts since 2005.
WHO'S GOPAL TEKWANI
Tekwani, a treasurer of the Bombay Pradesh Youth Congress Committee till 1985, has made a number of accurate predictions. In 2000, he started helping others too. With his level of accuracy, Tekwani has even been approached by Bollywood personalities and politicians.
'Tantrik' cheats man of Rs 3.15 lakh
Police raided the Bhayandar apartment of Abdul Sattar and seized a stock of condoms and pornographic material after the victim complained
RAM PARMAR
A s e l f – p r o c l a i m e d tantrik who claimed of curing all ailments, has been arrested from a Bhayandar apartment. A Dadar-based man complained about being swindled of Rs 3.15 lakh by him.
When the Mira Road police raided the tantrik's apartment, they found used condoms and a stock of fresh condoms as also pornographic materials.
Abdul Sattar, 25, had been operating from an apartment on Navghar Road in Bhayandar (E) for the past few months.
He used to advertise in Marathi dailies and on the local cable about his expertise in curing 'any' ailment.
He used to charge around Rs 300 per 'client.'
Ketan Patel (name changed) had taken his wife to the tantrik for a cure, in early August.
She was mentally disturbed and also had a gynaecological problem. Sattar took her to a room and switched off the lights while 'examining' her.
After this, Sattar charged Patel Rs 3.15 lakh as fees to cure her, saying his wife 'had been possessed by a spirit.' Patel agreed.
But in spite of paying the entire amount when his wife remained sick, Patel demanded a refund, which the tantrik refused. Patel had taken the amount from his Provident Fund account.
Finally, Patel complained to the Mira Road police station who arrested Sattar under Section 420 (cheating) of the IPC late on Friday evening. Two of his associates are absconding, said PSI Pandurang Khedkar of Mira Road police station.
When the police raided the apartment, used condoms were strewn all over the room where the tantrik conducted his rituals.
Police also seized a carton of condoms.
According to neighbours, every week, a person armed with a video camera visited the tantrik. A few times, the neighbours also saw the person leaving with a bagful of CDs.
"We are investigating whether the tantrik was involved in a blue film racket," said a police official.

A Shameful Episode of Savagery
THRILLED WITH the UPA's victory in the trust vote on July 22, Samajwadi Party MLA from Madhya Pradesh Kishore Samrite sacrificed 245 goats and four buffaloes at the Kamakhya temple over the weekend.
Samrite, a self-proclaimed devotee of the Mother Goddess, had reportedly sacrificed a goat for his party's well being earlier too. He was accompanied by two other party men.
"I've come here to invoke blessings for the stability of the UPA government and for world peace," said Samrite.
Outraged by the act, activists of the Animal rights group People for Animals (Assam chapter) staged a protest outside the temple. "The animal sacrifices were a violation of all ethical norms. We have filed a police report against the legislator," said Sangeeta Goswami, a PFA activist.
But the MLA argued that animal sacrifice is a centuries-old tradition at Kamakhya and that there was nothing wrong in it.
Meanwhile, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Tuesday wrote to SP boss Mu layam Singh Yadav urging them to stop Samrite. "Animal sacrifice has no place in Indian culture.
Killing an animal to cele brate your victory in the parliament is a blatant show of cruelty towards ani mals," said PETA chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney .
The Kamakhya, a Shakti shrine famous for Tantrik rituals, is one of the 51 holy Hindu peethas.

Gov. DeSantis' Plans For Election Integrity
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently announced during a press conference in West Palm Beach that he will be supporting legislature looking to improve and strengthen the state's election integrity. He said this is what will help Florida stay "ahead of the curb," pointing out how his state had one of the most transparent and efficient processes during the 2020 election.
"So the result of 2020 from an administrative perspective was that Florida had the most transparent and efficient election anywhere in the country. Other states took days, weeks, and even months to count their votes. And yet Florida, by midnight on election night, we had 99% reporting and 11 million votes counted, tabulated, and put out to the public. It can be done and don't let anyone tell you it can't be done," Gov. DeSantis said.
The Governor called Florida a leader on key issues for proving blueprints that other states can follow such as ballot integrity, public access to election information, transparency of election reporting, and so forth.
Among the issues, Gov. DeSantis talked about getting rid of ballot harvesting and mass mailing of unsolicited ballots while still continuing to offer absentee ballots by request. "We're not a big ballot harvesting state as it is, but any type of loopholes or any type of room where that could be abused we want to make sure we address it," he added. Gov. DeSantis also talked about how vote-by-mail requests must be made each election year and match the most recent signature on file.
In terms of transparency, Gov. DeSantis said they would prohibit counties from receiving private third-party organization grants for "get out the vote" initiatives, require Supervisors of Elections to post over-vote ballots on their website before the canvassing board meets, and that political parties and candidates cannot be shut out from observing the signature matching process. He wants Florida citizens to follow the real-time reporting of voter turnout data and see how many ballots have been requested, how many have been received, and how many are left to be counted.
The "get out the vote" initiative refers back to extensive reports and donations by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the Center for Technology and Civic Life, an organization that spends hundreds of millions of dollars on increasing turnout in heavily Democrat areas. Gov. DeSantis said he wants citizens to have confidence in the elections and strike the appropriate balance. "We want everyone to vote, we don't want anyone to cheat," he added.
There were too many times during the 2020 election that left-leaning states "found" lost ballots even after everyone else finished counting. Public confidence in the election process would strengthen if more states adopted the DeSantis standard.

Q: query one sheet based on cell in another sheet My master data sheet is named MASTER.
In my sheet named PRINT I want to be able to use a date picker, or somehow be prompted for a date, and then a Query pulls data from Master where date selected matches dates in MASTER column B. I have tried the following Query statement but it will only work if I change both sheets Date columns to TEXT format. I need to keep my date formats as is. If all that makes sense, I would really appreciate some help. My end goal is I just want a huge list of fabrication jobs, listed by date, to be queried and pulled to another sheet for printing. Leaving all Master data in tact and where the PRINT sheet can simply have a date change done by any user and get the list they need.
=Query(MASTER!A:P,ʺselect * where B ='ʺ&A2&ʺ'ʺ,0)

The above Query is on my TEST sheet where I have a date picker in column A2

A: Try:
=Query(MASTER!A:P,"select * where B =date"""&text(A2, "yyyy-mm-dd")&""" ",0)

and see if that works for you ?

Turn On Or Off Auto-Correct Misspelled Words In Windows 10
Last Updated on May 14, 2018 by admin 3 Comments
Auto spelling correction or auto-correct misspelled words is a fantastic feature to have, especially for users who cannot type without making spelling mistakes. The feature also comes in handy when you are not too sure about the exact spelling of a word.
The auto spelling correction is available in mobile operating systems for over a decade now. It's a built-in feature in document editing tools such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice for Windows operating system. The feature is available in popular services such as Facebook, webmail and chat services. But somehow, the auto-correct or auto-correct misspelled words feature was not available in Windows operating system for a long time.
When Microsoft introduced Windows 8, auto-correct was available in the touch-keyboard, and the feature is available for Windows 10 touch keyboards as well. However, the feature was not available for hardware keyboards or physical keyboards. That means, the auto-correct feature was exclusive to software or touch keyboard.
With Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803), users can auto-correct misspelled words as they type even for hardware keyboards. This means that you can use auto-correct even while typing in File Explorer, Notepad, WordPad and other programs that don't come with a built-in auto-correct feature.
That said, the auto-correct feature can be irritating at times. Experts believe that the auto-correct feature reduces your spelling ability. If you prefer to keep the feature turned off, you can do so under in the keyboard settings page in Settings. Follow the given below directions to enable or disable the auto-correct feature in Windows 10.
Enable or disable autocorrect misspelled words in Windows 10
Please note that auto-correct might not be available for all languages right now.
Step 1: Open the Settings app. Click Time & language category. Click Keyboard to see keyboard settings page.
Step 2: Click on your current input method or language to see the Options button. Click the Options button.
Step 3: Scroll down the page to see the Hardware keyboard section. Here, enable Autocorrect misspelled words as I type option to enable auto spelling correction. Turn off the same option to disable the autocorrect feature.
Please note that turning off auto-correct misspelled words feature in Windows 10 will not turn off the same feature in Office Word, Outlook, and other programs that have built-in auto-correct feature.
By the way, you might also like to enable text suggestion for hardware keyboard in Windows 10.

This lacks the ability to add words to the dictionary, and there is no way to leave a word as-is without picking from the very limited suggestions. It actually slowed down my system so much that it was not worth it. Is there an alternative?
This information is incorrect, there is no "keyboard" option under my Windows 10 Time & Language setting (that is Windows 10 professional)
Marjorie O. Cunningham says
I read this article eagerly because I have wanted an auto-correct program for Windows for a long time. I'm old, and my fingers don't always hit the right keys, so auto-correct would be very helpful. I thought I had Windows 10 all up to date, but I guess I'm far behind the "Insiders" group, the only ones who can download Windows 10 Redstone 4 at this time, according to Microsoft. Is there any other way to get the auto-correct program? How long do you think I'll have to wait for this feature to be rolled out to the general public?
If Microsoft stopped to think about it, this program would be very beneficial to so many people, not only the digitally challenged as I am, but to a whole lot of folks who need an extra push when it comes to writing!
