Being Undocumented and Belonging in US Ethnic Literature
Sherry Johnson/Society for the Study of Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States (MELUS)
Understandings of what it means to be undocumented remain a part of critical discussions in the US -- whether about immigration status or a citizen's sex designation or voter eligibility on official documents, for example. MELUS invites individual paper proposals that explore what it means to be undocumented -- legally, culturally or otherwise -- in fiction, memoir, or poetry by ethnic American writers. Specifically, we are interested in papers that consider how authors (re)imagine what it means to be undocumented -- and how intersections of identities of historically excluded populations function to further understanding of being undocumented in such works.

Measuring Pluralism / Open Call for Data Scientists
Monday, November 1, 2021 - 8:58am
Plural / Pluriel
Pluralism is a very central but elusive contemporary value. Pluralism is the belief that diversity is beneficial to society. Most of us would agree, but what does diversity exactly mean? How to measure it and tell whether a society is more or less diverse?
Cultural pluralism, political pluralism and value pluralism all have slightly different meanings, but they all share the belief that coexistence of diverse opinions, ways of life and value systems is enriching for all members of a society.

Concept Note
The "Geo" turn in Translation Studies
Space and spatiality have been significant coordinates in the study of translation in the West. The concept has long been included in humanities and social sciences too by scholars like Edward Soja (1989); Warf & Arias (2009). This panel aims to question how the concept of "geo" features in translation and analyse translation as a point of intersection and relationality that redefines our concepts of spatial axis and territorial coordinates. This panel will try to bring in disciplines of geometry and geography to the terrain of translation studies and thus include alternative models to expand the field.
Communication, Conflict and Peace
Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and Peace Studies, Liverpool Hope University
Online International Conference organized by the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and Peace Studies, Liverpool Hope University, Hope Park Campus, 27th June 2022
Global transformations fostered by the decentralization of communications from mainstream media and governance institutions to a plural range of socioeconomic actors and stakeholders have shaken the foundations of social consensus, truth and objectivity in the construction of public spheres. Such transformation has posed unprecedented challenges to conflict management and peacebuilding, multiplying risks of instability and war, but also the spaces for the construction of collective meanings and the voices shaping them.

The root cause for the problem above is, that a program has stolen the .jar association. If you have installed the Java Runtime Environment the first time, the file type called "jar" is assigned to javaw.exe correctly. "jar" is an abbreviation for "java archive" and javaw.exe is the correct program to execute a .jar. However, on Windows any program can steal a file type at any time even if it is already associated with a program. Many zip/unzip programs prefer to do this, because a jar is stored in the .zip format. If you doubleclick on a .jar, your pack program opens the file, rather than javaw runs the program, because your pack program ignores the meta information which are also stored in a .jar. In the Oracle bug database there is the low-priority report 4912211 "add mechanism to restore hijacked .jar and .jnlp file extensions", but it has been closed as "Closed, Will Not Fix".
Reinstall the Java Runtime Environment or fix the Windows Registry manually each time this problem occurs.
You can fix this problem very easy with the small but reliable jarfix.exe program. Just doubleclick on it to restore the .jar association with javaw.exe.

◦ Single Capacity Heat Pump Equipment has many manufactures and has been in use for many years. Now most of the single capacity heat pumps use a scroll compressor except for the very small sizes.
◦ The single capacity has the advantage of having a smaller size than the dual capacity heat pump and has about the same efficiency as a Dual capacity heat pump design when the building zone load conditions are operating at near capacity.
◦ The disadvantage compared to a dual capacity heat pump is that the single capacity heat pump is a constant capacity machine that does not allow some of the refrigerant to buy-pass causing the single capacity heat pump to use more power when the building zone loads are moderate which is most of the time.
◦ Single capacity compressors may have higher capacity than Dual capacity of the same size, but cycle on and off more frequently than the Dual capacity design. The Single capacity is usually more compact and more cost effective especially on commercial projects.

THE CARS is easily one of the most popular bands from the late 70's and early 80's. Their first album is among the best debut records of all time, spawning chart-topping hits and songs that to this day are still played all over the radio. One could say they were a band ahead of their time, as they helped shape the 80's "new wave" sound which is hugely popular almost 40 years later as attest to their 2018 induction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
In 2001, singer and frontman Darryl Battaglia was looking to put together a band that would appeal to the mass audience who loved the sound and total vibe of the 80's. After hearing "Just What I Needed" one night on the radio, he was inspired to form Candy-O, the ultimate tribute to the Cars. Since the bands inception, the Candy-O core players have remained, with Darryl as Ric Ocasek, McCrea Adams as Greg Hawkes on keyboard and Brenton Worthy as Benjamin Orr on bass and vocals. 2019 brings in two new members, Bob Duda as David Robinson on drums and Martin Etcheverry as Elliot Easton on guitar.
Covering all of the Cars' radio hits as well as some popular album cuts, Candy-O captures the terminal cool of the Cars live performance in all aspects, all live, with no vocal or music sampling whatsoever. The band has consistently amazed and entertained crowds whenever and wherever they hit the stage. So catch a ride to the era that was all about fun, and enjoy the sound and vision of the 80's created by Candy-O!

Graham Calls Afghanistan A Cauldron For Radical Behavior That We Are Not Prepared To Deal With
Stevie B. September 7, 2021 269 Views
In an interview with the BBC Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. said that it is inevitable that United States service members will return to Afghanistan at some point.
During the interview, Graham said President Joe Biden's poorly executed withdrawal of the United States military along with the Taliban takes over of Afghanistan, will demand our military presence.
"We'll have to because the threat will be so large," Graham said. "Why did we go back to Syria and Iraq?" We currently have 5,000 troops in Iraq today because of the caliphate rising, projecting force outside of Iraq, killing Americans, French and attacking the British.
"So, yes it will be a cauldron for radical Islamic behavior. You cannot deal with this over the horizon."
According to Graham, anyone that believes the Taliban has changed for the better is truly misguided.
"Whether you like former President Donald Trump or not, whether you believe it's Trump's fault or Biden's fault, here's where we are as a world: The Taliban are not reformed, are not new," Graham said. "They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times. They're going to impose a lifestyle on the Afghan people that I think is going to make us all sick to our stomachs.'
"Most importantly, they're going to give safe haven to al-Qaida who have ambitions to drive us out of the Middle East and attack us because of our way of life. We will be going back into Afghanistan as we went back into Iraq and Syria,"
The senator has his own ideas about how to deal with the present situation and prevent the Taliban, al-Qaida, and ISIS from reigning terror on the entire free world.
"Help the resistance in the Tangi Valley. The Taliban will not be able to govern Afghanistan. "They're hated by the Afghan people," Graham said. "What's going to happen over time is you're going to see the resistance rise, ISIS will come after the Taliban big-time, and the entire country is going to fracture in the next year, creating a perfect storm for the Western interest to be attacked."
"You can do one of two things. You can say, 'That's no longer my problem,' or hit them before they hit you."
Graham tried to address European viewers about the success of the Trump administration's policies in combating terrorism.
"He destroyed the caliphate. It rose on former President Barack Obama and Biden's watch and Trump sent the military in to destroy it, Graham said. "When he left, there were 2,500 U.S. soldiers on the ground with NATO allies. They're no longer there."
"He (Trump) killed Iran's Qassem Soleimani, which I think is a good thing. He rebuilt the military in a fashion where we could be effective all over the globe. The deterioration of the military during the Obama years was real."

"Don't go to Wales, it's a hot-bed of non-conformity!"
When the Mother Superior of an Irish Catholic Order was asked to make the trip to South Wales to set up a convent she left with a grim warning ringing in her ears: "Don't go to Wales, it's a hot-bed of non-conformity."
Eighty years later, St Clare's School situated in the picturesque village of Newton on the outskirts of Porthcawl has good reason to thank the "non-conformists" of South Wales for their help in establishing one of the country's best-known educational establishments.
The sisters came back
Porthcawl's Hi-Tide Inn hosted the school's eightieth anniversary celebrations on Saturday evening and to everyone's delight, Sisters Mercedes, Mary, Angela, Joan and Ailbe all returned for the weekend. Sadly, Sister Christina wasn't well enough to make the journey from Ireland. More than 350 pupils and staff, past and present gathered to reminisce and catch up with old friends, some of whom had travelled as far as from China, USA and Canada. It was a very busy weekend, with hundreds of past pupils returning to look round the school on the Friday evening and Sunday morning. Luckily the weather was kind and everyone enjoyed their tour of the magnificent grounds and were very impressed with Cognita's significant investment in the school.
St. Clare's is now an independent day school
The sisters sold the school to Cognita in 2006 and St Clare's is now a non-selective, independent day school for boys and girls aged 3 to 18. With some 68 schools in Europe, Latin America and Asia, Cognita schools provide a uniquely global education that goes beyond grades to develop all-round academic excellence – equipping young people with the confidence and resourcefulness that prepares them to grow, thrive and find their success in a fast-changing world.
Why choose St. Clare's for your child?
At St. Clares, pupils on average make greater progress than they would in other settings, nurtured by our
personalised approach to learning, regular assessments and tracking of their academic development opportunities for growth and leadership and our rich curriculum
Help us grow our alumni network
We also took the opportunity to gather as many alumni details as possible so that we can stay in touch and grow our alumni network. If you didn't get the chance to fill in one of the alumni sheets, please email info@stclares-school.co.uk and put Alumni Network in the subject line. Thank you!

Made on a weekend trip to Tourrettes sur Loup, France in 2010.
Made the first day of Christmas in 2010, on My way home from work.
My first processed photo from My recent trip to the Dolomites in Italy. More to come.
Here's a little behind the action video, from this early morning in Singapore.
Made on a rainy night on My way home from work. It's a composite of 2 photos, one with the head lights and one with the tail lights.
Just arrived in the Dolomites, Italy today, gonna spend a week here with a few photography friends, it's gonna be awesome.
I came by this tree line, just as the sun was about to set behind them. I enhanced the blue and orange colors in Lightroom, to get a bit more contrast between the two colors.
Here's a little behind the action video for you today.
Made out of the window of My rental car, while driving the interstate 80 from Wendover to Salt Lake City.

An activity-based therapy is a physical rehabilitation therapy that's purpose is to "activate" or "turn on" the nerves and muscles affected by a neurological impairment. The activity refers to the specific type and amount of practice and input that is necessary to illicit an improvement in a motor skill. The type of activity is task-specific such that we "train like you walk" and "train like you stand". The amount of activity refers to the intensity of practice and input necessary for the child's abilities to improve. Therapy sessions occur daily (5 times/week) for 1.5 hours/day for a minimum of 60 sessions. Additional sessions may be indicated based on your child's progress and need.
Just like a child who practices soccer every day of the week to hone their skills, children who have suffered a severe insult to their nervous systems also require intense training to see results.
Locomotor training is an intense, activity-based therapy designed to activate the neuromuscular system below the level of a spinal cord injury or neurological impairment and restore function in weak or paralyzed muscles. During locomotor training, the child is suspended in a harness over a treadmill and facilitated by therapists to step and stand with the timing and movements similar to those used prior to injury or that are age-appropriate, i.e. "train like you walk".
Specific sensory cues are used along with a body weight support system on a treadmill to activate age-expected movement patterns for standing, walking and trunk control. These specific cues provide a "picture" of walking or standing to the nervous system and promote "turning on" the system, thought to be inactive or paralyzed after injury. Newly developed motor skills are then applied to the child's everyday activities (off the treadmill). This combined with increased specific activities at home and in the community allows for the emergence of motor and other functions not seen since injury. In the case of some children injured prior to the development of sitting, standing, or walking, these functions may never have been seen before.
This approach is in stark contrast to traditional approaches, such as the primary use of wheelchairs, standing frames, braces, and assistive devices, which focus on compensation for injury-induced weakness and paralysis.
If your child is enrolled in our program, a physician specialized in working with children with spinal cord injury (SCI) will conduct an initial evaluation.
Our pediatrician will see your child for an initial evaluation and provide on-going medical care as needed while enrolled in locomotor training.
Every family participating in our program will undergo a child and family interview with our pediatric psychologist.
Additionally, a set of comprehensive assessments customized to your child's specific needs will be performed. All children will be evaluated by a Physical Therapist (PT) using a series of tests, or outcome measures, to determine baseline function upon entering the program. This will include, but is not limited to, assessments of trunk control, movement, basic physiological function (e.g. blood pressure/heart rate), some simple orthopedic measures and assessment of standing and stepping on a body-weight supported treadmill system. The initial PT assessment generally takes two hours the first day and may extend into the second day's session.
Some of these assessments your child may be familiar with, others may be completely new. We strive to make the assessments "child-friendly" and use age-appropriate behavior techniques to engage the child and maximize participation.
Your child's progress will be assessed by on-going re-evaluations performed after every 20 sessions of locomotor training. Upon completion of an episode of locomotor training (60 sessions or greater), a discharge evaluation will be completed by the physician and the physical therapist.
Our rehabilitation and medical team conducts comprehensive clinical evaluations viewing your child's health and well-being through a lens of "recovery" and development. Annual evaluations are important to assess the impact of growth and development on your child's long-term recovery and quality of life. Our team meets with parents to discuss child progress and state of recovery and develop the next steps for therapy and home. We expect that after completing an initial episode of locomotor training (minimum 60 sessions), that a child will return yearly for "booster" sessions to address new potential, developmental changes, physical growth, and differences in environmental stresses. We anticipate with certain life transitions, such as moving from elementary to middle school, the child may face new neuromotor demands and require additional intervention to foster continued recovery. A child's annual evaluation is scheduled six months to a year in advance.
Because activity-based therapies are most successful when the principles are incorporated throughout the day, what happens at home, school and in community settings is very important to your child's continued recovery. Therefore, we value ongoing communication with families to address issues, concerns, and needs related to recovery as they arise.
While your child is enrolled in the Locomotor Training program, a team member will meet with you weekly to discuss your child's progress and address any concerns.
Families may contact us at any time with questions and concerns in regard to their child's recovery, and we will pursue answers and provide evidence-based information as appropriate.
At time of discharge, we will meet with the family to discuss the outcomes of our discharge evaluation, finalize a plan for continuation of principle-based activities in the home and community specific to your child's progress and needs, and plan for your next visit (e.g. schedule follow-up date).
After discharge from an episode of out-patient therapy, we will schedule and conduct quarterly phone communications to gather information regarding your child's continued progress with recovery and any factors affecting progress. This information assists us in identifying steps forward and challenges that your child and you may face so that they may be productively addressed.
The NeuroRecovery Network (NRN) is a cooperative network of cutting-edge rehabilitation centers designed to provide and develop therapies, activity-based therapies, to promote functional recovery and improve the health and quality of life for people of all ages living with paralysis. The majority of the six clinical sites in the United States provide activity-based therapies for adults post spinal cord injury.
At Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, KY, a program has been specifically developed for children ages 1-17.
Our partnership with the NRN enhances our ability to fast-track scientific evidence into daily, clinical practice and therapies to promote recovery in children.

The ESPO Award 2017 will be presented to the port authority that succeeds best in the societal integration of the port with the city or wider community in which it is located, through involvement in art or culture. The five projects that are shortlisted for this year's Award are the projects of Antwerp, Brest, Guadeloupe, Oslo and Venice.
ESPO is proud to present the shortlisted projects before the winner is announced during the official Award Ceremony at La Tentation in Brussels on 8 November 2017.
ESPO: Congratulations! You have been shortlisted for the ESPO Award 2017! Could you briefly describe your project?
Providing the general public with access to local port heritage: During the European Heritage Days in 2014, the harbour master's office in Pointe-à-Pitre was opened to the general public. At the same time, the fence around the port was used for an urban exhibition of photographs. Furthermore, the port hosts the annual Pool Art Fair (an international contemporary art show) in the Cruise Hall in Pointe-à-Pitre.
Supporting local artistic creativity: GPC provides artists with atypical exhibition venues and work spaces, for example a wall around Basse Terre passenger terminal on which a big fresco was created. Additionally, the port has a policy of buying local art and promoting local artists across its network. GPC also supports exhibition projects of local artists, abroad as well as at home, and it supports the restoration of artworks.
Sponsoring initiatives with a maritime and heritage appeal: For example, GPC is a sponsor of a traditional sailing boat race. The event is a symbol of the rich cultural heritage that developed around maritime activities, which should be preserved and made available to everyone.
Supporting cultural initiatives that address the preservation of tropical biodiversity: The partnership between GPC and the ONF (France's National Forestry Office) is one of the key ways for the port to ensure that the knowledge needed to safeguard this exceptional heritage is passed on to future generations. Furthermore, within the framework of the Cáyoli Junior Art Competition, awareness sessions were given in schools. Afterwards, the children created an artistic work related to the preservation of Guadeloupe's nature.
Raising awareness of local port culture: On the occasion of GPC's 40th anniversary, a film was produced about Guadeloupe's maritime and port history, which was freely shown to the public. Thanks to the combination of archive images and insights from historians, citizens could (re)discover the importance of port activities in the development of Guadeloupe.
ESPO: How does your project contribute to the societal integration of the port?
The project launched by Guadeloupe Port Authority opens the port to the city. By giving residents the opportunity to visit historic buildings or by turning port facilities into art and cultural venues, we encourage people to come and get to know their port and gain a full sense of ownership of it in a different way.
Assorted target groups of citizens are involved to varying extents in the project that we support. We help artists to grow, we raise young generations' awareness of their homeland's heritage while harnessing their artistic creativity. Furthermore, we support associations that implement initiatives with a maritime or heritage angle and we also enable our employees to express and share their artistic potential.
This list, which is not exhaustive, shows the diversity of people reached by our project. The objectives of the agreement signed recently with the Rector of the Académie de Guadeloupe includes one major goal: to establish a context that encourages the emergence of vocations related to Cáyoli, GPC's Natural Areas Management Plan. Safeguarding the natural heritage in the port area and in the archipelago in general, requires gaining awareness now by the people who will become the driving force of a sustainable development, built on the islands' unique biodiversity.
ESPO: Could you describe the original and innovative character of your project?
As 95% of the goods traded between Guadeloupe and the rest of the world pass through Guadeloupe Port Caraïbes, the port authority is a public institution that acts in the service of the islands. We play a major strategic and regulatory role for the local economy. In line with this mission, our approach to art and culture is designed to serve people on and from the islands. Our goal is to promote and develop this artistic and cultural heritage, which acts as a societal cement.
In particular, we are driven by a desire to support artistic and cultural creations generated by Guadeloupe's maritime and port sectors so as to encourage their development. The sea has a wonderful capacity to transmit cultures and is an infinite source of inspiration for artists. Moreover, spreading port culture and tying it together with the archipelago's history helps residents to regain a sense of ownership of the port and, more generally, of the sea.
Through the project, we involve our employees who, as the first ambassadors of the port, constitute an essential target. Accordingly, we enter a 'Guadeloupe Port Caraïbes' crew into the Traditional Sailing Boat tour of Guadeloupe, we arrange cohesion days at the ONF (France's National Forestry Office) tree conservation facility and we showcase artistic talents through the Port Art Fair, where we invite artist employees to exhibit their works on the port's premises.
ESPO: Why do you think your project deserves to win the ESPO Award 2017?
With "Port'Art", we are developing in another way our relationships with our institutional and economic partners and with civil society, and at the same time we are building new relationships with young people in particular, and more broadly with the community. Art and culture are at the centre of a virtuous circle enhancing mutual understanding, quality of dialogue and appeal of the Region. Today, we can fully measure the benefits of our initiative in terms of societal integration; this project represents a true "soft power".
ESPO: How would you make your experience in developing the project available to others?
"Port'Art" is built and developed in line with the situation and with the challenges faced by our Region. Taking the time to properly evaluate those factors, so as to elaborate a rich and coherent project, represents a key stage in the process. Listening attentively is therefore essential and makes it possible both to anchor the project and to give it complete authenticity. That is the main lesson that we have learned and that we are able today to share, notably with the ports with which we are already networking.
Through the Port'Art project, we put art and culture at the heart of a virtuous circle in the service of the territory of Guadeloupe.

Arsenal's forgotten game
I have forgotten to take my season ticket to work today. Arsenal are playing tonight and it has been completely forgotten about.
With everyone looking ahead to the League Cup Final on Sunday, and the fall out from the Hector Bellerin Oxford Q&A taking up most of our thoughts at the beginning of the week, tonight's game has taken a back seat. It has actually been forgotten about by many, including myself.
Having beaten Ostersunds so comfortably in Sweden, it means that the pressure is off tonight. The game should be a formality against the fishermen from Swden.
With Arsenal 3-0 up from the first leg, it is a game which is hard to get excited about, and this is probably why, in the grand scheme of all things Arsenal, it has been forgotten about.
Whilst it is still important to take Ostersunds seriously, they showed nothing when playing in the sub-freezing climate of Scandinavia.
The likes of David Ospina, Calum Chambers, Rob Holding, Per Mertesacker, Saed Kolasinac, Mohamed Elneny, Riess Nelson, Joe Wilock, Danny Welbeck, Henrikh Mkhitaryan (cup tied) and Eddie Nketiah should all get a run out on tonight.
With Mesut Ozil ill (again), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, cup-tied and other senior players set to have a rest, it will very much be a similar side to that which started in the group stages of this illustrious competition.
Ostersunds should be comfortable. Get an early goal and it is done. It is probably done already. The Ostersunds players have the game of their life. A match against a big team from London, England. They will be star struck.
Cruise through tonight and it is onto the last 16, where we could face the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Atlético Madrid, Napoli, RB Leipzig, Lyon, AC Milan, sporting Lisbon and Marseille.
The draw is on for the round of 16 will be held on Friday 23rd February. After which we can start looking forward to the League Cup proper.

Mother takes plea in baby's death
Kephart agrees to endangerment, involuntary manslaughter
Julie Rae Rickard
For the Mirror
CLEARFIELD — The trial for a Clearfield County woman charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of her infant daughter was canceled after she signed a plea agreement Thursday.
Alexa Lynn Kephart, 23, Grampian, agreed to plead guilty to felony endangering the welfare of a child and misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter in the case.
The 39-day-old baby was found unconscious and blue when the parents woke about 10:14 a.m. July 1, 2020, police said. She had been sleeping with them in a full-sized bed along with her 22-month-old brother.
The baby was lying against her mother on her left side, facing her mother and covered with a blanket, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
She was later pronounced dead at Penn Highlands DuBois.
Both Kephart and the baby's father, Dakota James Lynn Canfield, 24, were subjected to a drug test that same day.
Kephart reportedly tested positive for methamphetamine, amphetamines, marijuana and ecstasy while Canfield was positive for those substances plus alcohol.
During the initial investigation, it was discovered that the couple had an open case with Clearfield County Children, Youth and Family Services.
Records indicated that when Kephart gave birth, she tested positive for both methamphetamine and amphetamines.
District Attorney Ryan Sayers stated in an interview that the plea "was a good result for the commonwealth" and noted that "anytime that we can come to a resolution of guilt," it is a good thing "because you never know what a jury will do."
"This way, we got justice for the child," Sayers said.
Kephart could serve anywhere from three months to five years for involuntary manslaughter and three months to seven years for endangering the welfare of a child, Sayers said, explaining that he would be asking the judge to make the two sentences consecutive.
She will be scheduled for sentencing within 90 days.
Canfield is also charged in the case — with two felony counts of endangering the welfare of children and misdemeanor recklessly endangering another person.
Sayers pointed out that Canfield was ready to testify against Kephart about her drug issue, which was part of the reason Kephart agreed to plead guilty Thursday.
Canfield had also signed a plea agreement, but it was withdrawn in October due to him having three additional cases filed in 2021, Sayers said.
Two of these are driving under the influence charges and the third is a drug possession and paraphernalia case, all of which are still pending.

When asked whether Pravin Nishad, MP, will also quit Samajwadi Party, he said, "I don't know about it."
In a jolt to the SP-BSP-RLD 'Mahagathbandhan' in Uttar Pradesh, the Nishad Party on Friday parted ways with the fledgling anti-BJP alliance and said it could "look for other options".
"The Nishad Party is no more in alliance with the Samajwadi Party," Nikky Nishad alias Riteash Nishad, media in-charge, Nishad Party, told PTI in Gorakhpur.
"There was conflict between the two parties on Maharajganj seat as Nishad Party wanted to contest with its own party symbol where as Samajwadi Party was not ready for it," he added.
The party workers were not willing to contest on the SP symbol and many of them began quitting, he said.
"So, our national president Sanjay Nishad ji went to Lucknow and on late Thursday it was confirmed that the Nishad Party is no more a part of the alliance," he added.
The Nishad Party is headed by Sanjay Nishad, the father of Pravin Nishad who had won the Gorakhpur parliamentary seat on an SP ticket in the 2018 by-polls.
The win had been remarkable, as Gorakhpur was considered a bastion of UP CM Yogi Adityanath, who had represented the parliamentary constituency several times before.
A Nishad Party insider said that though SP chief Akhilesh Yadav had said he will make announcement on seats for the party, "They did not put our name on poster/letter or anything. Our party workers, authorities, core committee were upset."
"So, the Nishad Party has taken a decision today that we are not with the 'gathbandhan', we are free, can fight elections independently and can look for other options as well. The party is free now," he said.
When contacted, SP national spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury told PTI that he has no information of any such decision of the Nishad Party.
It was just three days back that the Nishad (Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal) Party in a press conference in Lucknow on Tuesday had announced that it will be joining the grand opposition alliance in the state.
The day the Nishad Party announced its decision to join the alliance, Sanjay Nishad had said at a press conference that, Our constitution, youth and farmers' futures are in grave danger. People voted for a'jumlebaz' party cause of their false promises. Modi and Yogi promised many things forNishad community but nothing was done. The Nishad community will now give full support to the SP-BSP alliance in all the state.
The Nishad Party, sources said, is in talks with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for some seats including Gorakhpur.

Springs breaking is very common, mainly due to speed bumps, pot holes and maybe poor material construction of the spring itself.
Front pair on my Signum was about £250, snapped on boxing day and no-one else could get any. Personally, if it happened again a set of lowering springs all round would be cheaper.
Yep. My driver's side spring broke on Easter Sunday a few years ago. I had Eibach Sport Springs fitted - same length (as SRI/GSI), I believe and similar rating but much better quality and heavier construction (thicker steel). The handling has improved as a result as well.
Fella, how is it possible that you're a Full Member on here and yet you haven't heard the many, many, many tales of broken springs? lol. Probably the second most common complaint, after "My 1.9 diesel is proving just a teeny bit problematic...."
My front suspension makes a funny noise when going over speed bumps, its like a noise when you sit on a leather sofa, its hard to describe really. How can you tell if there are cream crackered, as I have had a look at mine but can not tell.
Its very clear if the springs are snapped - there is a bit missing you have 4 so there will be another one to compare the basic looks with.
However yours is a different problem so should really be in a different thread. But, its either - drop links, arb bushes or the rad mounts.
Jonsey sounds like you have a problem with the Anti Roll bar Bushes or Link arms on the front.

When surrealist auteur Alejandro Jodorowsky makes a rare trip to New York City— to promote his new autobiographical film, Endless Poetry— you know it's an occasion. During a MoMA discussion on Wednesday, the spry 88-year-old gave a tarot reading to Daniel Craig; the next evening on the Bowery, there was a party celebrating the release of the film's soundtrack, composed by Alejandro's son Adan Jodorowsky, who also stars in it.
Clearly, multi-talentedness runs in the family. Like his 37-year-old son, the elder Jodorowsky has composed music for films in which he has also acted— namely his cult masterpieces, El Topo and The Holy Mountain. At various times, he's been a circus clown, a puppeteer, a mime, a novelist, a comic book artist, and a practitioner of his own brand of "shamanic psychotherapy," called psychomagic.


My favorite holiday is on the way! Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday since I was a child. I'm known for bringing chunky apple cranberry sauce to the Thanksgiving meal and cookies to add to dessert (since I'm not a pumpkin pie fan). This soft chocolate cookie makes a great backdrop for decorating cookies.
Melt 3/4 cup of butter in a small sauce pan with 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar, 2 cups of chocolate chips and 2 T of water. Remove from heat and rest 10 minutes. Combine 2 eggs with melted chocolate mixture and add 1 1/4 t of baking soda & 3 cups of flour. Refrigerate dough for 1 hr. Roll into walnut sized balls, place on parchment paper and bake for 8min at 350F.
While the cookie dough chills for an hour, melt white candy melts to pipe the feathers for the Indians and turkeys. I melt, mix color and add to a small Ziploc- snipping the corner and piping onto wax paper. I mixed teal and orange, so I had 3 piping bags. As the orange began to harden, I molded a few turkey beaks.
When you remove the cookies from the oven, immediately place a pink candy melt in the center of the cookie. As the candy disc melts, place the candy eyes. I used an assortment of sprinkles for brown, blue and green eyes. The tip of the candy melt will be the Pilgrim and Indian's nose.
Mix a few colors of frosting to pipe hair, mouths, headbands and hats (brown, yellow, dark pink, white, black) and place the frosting in a Ziploc. Snip a small corner and pipe.
The turkey heads are warmed Tootsie Rolls. Place in the microwave for about 10 seconds to warm and then the Tootsie Roll is easy to mold.
Place the turkey feathers while the candy melts is still partially melted/warm.
The Indian Chief is my favorite in this set.

Even my twin sister made the bunny platter for Easter! She's a great cook, but I definitely got more of the artistic side.
You can find even more here when I asked people to share to Facebook two years ago. So, show me what you've got. I want to see your fresh fruit platter creations. Post a link in the comments or comment on Facebook!

I tossed a bag of Hershey's Kisses into my grocery cart a couple of weeks ago thinking I'd make Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies this holiday season. I've made Peanut Butter Cookies, but I've never made the kind with the Hershey's Kiss in the center...until today! While the traditional cookies were cooling on the rack, I couldn't help but see a reindeer face in the making. You MUST make these for your little ones this year!

Ski season is finally underway in Colorado after a full week delay for opening at Vail and Beaver Creek Resorts. I have a winter toolkit ready for a tired body after a day on the slopes and I found everything I needed at my local Target. We are lucky enough to live in the mountains, so skiing is only minutes away and trails are right outside our front door. There's just as much to do in the winter, as there is all summer. That means there is little downtime for a sore body!
Back-to-School Spirit...Who You Gonna Call?
Back-to-School is 10 days away and to get in the spirit, we've called in the Ghostbusters. With the release of the new Ghostbusters movie in theaters now, I wanted my kids to be able to watch the original to get the full appreciation for Ghostbusters. I set up a fun snack-bar for Saturday morning viewing; including a Kellogg's Froot Loops™ station, movie candy with MARS and a Stay Puft Marshmallow man craft.
This is a dessert my mom has made for years, that I had never tried to make...until she went out of town...and I couldn't get the recipe from her. The vanilla cake has a fine, light texture and it is perfect delivery vehicle for the cherry or blueberry pie filling. I've only had cherry bars, but cherry filling isn't my favorite, so I thought I'd explore with blueberry. Turns out, this is the perfect festive Fourth of July dessert to take to your holiday outdoor BBQ.
Lemon Blueberry Crepes - clean up made easier with Scotch-Brite!
I love making crepes for my kids for breakfast. It is their favorite breakfast and they'll eat them every single day. Today, I mixed it up and made a lemon blueberry crepe. I am usually rushing around the kitchen to get the crepes made and running out the door to get to work with the mess left behind. The dried crepe batter is a bit like cleaning up plaster and I'm left scraping it away from the counter with my fingernails. I found a great product to help with clean up- even the days I leave the dried mess behind. Come check it out and find the crepe recipe later in the post.

A number of Irish political parties have welcomed a change in stance by the British Labour Party in favour of a "soft Brexit".
There was unanimous welcome for the commitment by the main British opposition party to retain membership of the EU Single Market and Customs Union for up to four years after it departs the union in 2019.
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin described it as a "positive development".
The policy announcement by Labour MP Sir Keir Starmer essentially commits the party to a soft Brexit stance, a significant departure from the position it adopted in the wake of this year's general election.
Mr Martin said a hard Brexit – which would see Britain swiftly leave the Single Market and Customs Union – would be disastrous for Ireland, and would cause serious damage to our strong relationship with Britain.
Fine Gael spokesman on EU affairs Senator Neale Richmond said the impact of the Labour move would be to lessen the impact of Brexit. He described it as an "imaginative approach".
"Ultimately the ideal solution would be the UK abandoning Brexit and remaining in the EU, but in the absence of that we must take every opportunity to minimise the damage that Brexit will cause," he said.
Irish Labour leader Brendan Howlin welcomed the change, but said "even those softer arrangements would be disruptive to our island".
He also pointed out that Britain's Conservative government remained committed to a hard Brexit.
Separately, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he remains very confident there will be no need for passport controls on the Border.
Mr Varadkar was responding to concerns raised by former president Mary McAleese, who questioned how the EU and UK could differentiate between Irish citizens who are set to be allowed to travel freely across the Border and other European nationals.
Mrs McAleese said she did not know how some form of ID checking could be avoided.
If the almost-century-old Common Travel Area (CTA) agreement remains in place post-Brexit, UK and Irish citizens will continue to be able to work and travel freely across the two jurisdictions.
The Taoiseach told RTÉ he was sure passport controls would not be needed. He highlighted that the UK government would seek to control immigration not by physical checks on borders but by imposing limits on rights to work and claim benefits.

The Canal des Deux Mers connected the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, the Zuiderzee Works reclaimed part of shallow inlet of the North Sea to expand the Netherlands, so why not try taming the Mediterranean and irrigating Africa? Part ocean reclamation, part power generation (the "white coal" of falling water), Atlantropa wasn't simply the stuff of science fiction. First called Panropa, it was the long-term goal of a German architect and engineer named Herman Sörgel, a dream that lasted until his death in 1952, and the Atlantropa Institute continued on another 8 years.
Sörgel wrote four Atlantropa books and some 1000 publications, and at the peak, his project included designs from many architects, including Peter Behrens, Erich Mendelsohn and Hans Poelzig.
Atlantropa was largely intended to be a development for peace, even called a "technical-architectural utopia" (Google books), other sources list that his aim was to align the Americas with Atlantropa, against "the yellow peril" which "arises from the racial antipathy of India, China and Japan".
in German high schools, where it is still being used as a question on a physics exam in which students are asked to calculate the lowering of the Mediterranean's water level. The test mentions the project as if it was currently being planned and the pupils could contribute to its success by solving a mathematics problem: "How many people could be provided with energy from this power plant?", the test asks.

Very cool post. For nutty canal projects, the Red-Dead Canal Project, first proposed in 1855, has to be mentioned too. It would utilize the 400 meter drop in elevation between the Red and Dead seas to make hydro power.
Doesn't the current flowing from the Straits of Gibraltar play a part in the North Atlantic Current and the Gulf Stream system? If I were a european I'd be hesitant to screw with what's already a great climatic bargain.
There have been some interesting water transfer schemes proposed for North America too, for example the Sun Belt Water company, and the GRAND Canal Project.
The grandaddy of them all appears to be the The North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) project, which would move water from the Arctic circle in Canada and Alaska all the way to California and Mexico. The resulting economic powerhouse would propel North America to heights of capitalist excess undreamed-of in years past, and never to be equaled in the history of, well, the History of the World!!1! I don't see it mentioned on this site, but at one point they were talking about detonating a string of nuclear devices to cut through a mountain range.
Things like this make me sad that I missed the halcyon days of mad science-ing, Screw the human genome; I want my superstructures, damnit!
sneebler: Operation Plowshare looked into using nukes for all kinds of loony operations. My favorite of those involved a new Panama canal, but in Nicaragua.
It seems all the big powers had to have one of these in the halcyon days of megaengineering. From the early thirties on, the Soviets knocked around the Northern river reversal, which would have rerouted - at the very least - the Pechora, Kama, Tobol, Ishim, Irtysh, and Ob rivers from the Arctic Ocean (where they, uh, uselessly drained) to irrigate central Asia. And unlike the Americans, they put their money where their mouth was (google translated) and actually detonated (one of) the bombs as part of Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy.
The thing that's even crazier is that the river reversal idea stuck around until the mid-eighties.
I say go for it. What could possibly go wrong? At least some land in the general vicinity will end up habitable, right?
Every man has an idea that will not work. The Soviets were dead serious about that huge, daft river scheme and, of course, when communism and reality clash it's reality that has to go. They'd have been better off trying to save the Aral sea instead of turning it into a pesticide ridden parking lot for rusty boats, dead birds and bits of tractor.
also Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project; a little bit more.
The Dead Sea / Red Sea canal (or its variations - Dead Sea / Mediterranean and so forth) isn't actually a bad idea. The Dead Sea gets shallower every year because its inflow doesn't match its evaporation rate. The problem is that sea water wouldn't necessarily be good for its mix of salt-tolerant organisms. If nothing's done, however, the Dead Sea will disappear.
I'm pretty sure the US experimented with using nuclear explosions for construction. I remember seeing a picture of a canyon cut through some hills created by a series of small nuclear explosions. The idea was abandoned because the explosions were not well controlled and left an expensive mess to clean up. I'll be darned if I can't find it on the web, however.
And there are plenty of things we are doing now (like poring massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere and wiping out large portions of the fish in the sea), that, in the long run, will turn out to have larger affects on the world than any of these projects.
Ah, found it. The Plowshares program (PDF).
that Julian May series Pliocene Saga.
1. massive solar plants in the North African deserts, connected to the coast and to Europe. Massive enough to overwhelm the needs of the North African cities.
2. Desalination plants along the coasts, powered by the same. So, whenever the supply from the solar plants doesn't match demand from the residents, water gets desalinated. And then pumped inland.
Key differences: it's the kind of thing the Algerians would be doing if they had the money, anyway. It fills North Africa with fresh water, not sea water. And it doesn't destroy Venice. Overall, I like it.

Capcom Is Re-Releasing Two Classic Mega Man Games On NES, SNES Cartridges
Photo: iam8bit
Capcom will release cartridge versions of Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X as limited runs costing $US100 ($133) a piece alongside production house iam8bit, the two companies said today.
As with Street Fighter II, the first of these legacy cartridge collections that was announced last August, both games will appear in cartridge form, Mega Man 2 on NES and Mega Man X on SNES.
While $US100 ($133) is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on games you can easily play any number of other ways, iam8bit has tried to make it more enticing as it did with Street Fighter II by packaging the games with instruction booklets and embossed boxing. One thousand random buyers will also get translucent blue, glow-in-the-dark versions of the cartridges.
Image: iam8bit
Each game will have 8,500 copies available total, including 1,000 blue ones, and are expected to begin shipping in September of this year according to iam8bit's website. If the last round was any indication, they will sell out in short order.
In case you were wondering, this time around neither product page contains any warnings about the cartridges possibly setting your console on fire.
Mega Man 2 is already playable in the Mega Man Legacy Collection, while Mega Man X will be part of the upcoming Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1, which will be out for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch on July 24. Neither of those come wrapped up in the nostalgia of the original hardware, however.
Gooky @mrtaco
Ok but what about PAL versions?
sabrescene @sabrescene
I wouldn't trust anything from iam8bit, you'll end up waiting years for a shoebox with some pictures glued to it or something.
I've ordered a number of LPs from them in the past and they all turned up just fine.
