MIRA Project to Provide Overview of Internet's Resiliency in Africa
Call for Comments
Tweets by AFRINIC
Published On - 19 May 2021
Internet resilience is the ability of a network to maintain an acceptable level of service at all times. The Internet plays a critical role in society and the COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of reliable and stable Internet connectivity. However, not all countries have Internet infrastructure that is robust enough to provide an acceptable level of service to users.
In Africa, Internet resilience has not been sufficiently measured to date. So, as part of the Internet Society's Measuring the Internet project, we want to find out how well African countries cope with Internet outages or disruptions and how resilient networks in Africa really are.
We're going to seek these answers through the Measuring Internet Resilience in Africa (MIRA) project, by evaluating the capability of a country to provide continuous, stable, and reliable Internet connectivity.
How the MIRA Project Measures Internet Resilience in Africa
The MIRA project is a joint initiative between African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) and the Internet Society. The project uses Internet measurements gathered by measurement devices, called MIRA pods, located within African countries in order to:
Determine levels of Internet resilience in African countries over time by recording specific metrics, including throughput and latency (the time it takes to reach various Internet destinations).
Increase the number of Internet measurement vantage points in Africa, i.e., the places from which measurements are taken.
Make the data available to everyone, everywhere on the Internet Society Pulse platform.
Who Can Use the Data from the MIRA Project?
The data presented will be freely available to all and can be used by anyone to gain insight into the availability and resilience of the African Internet, including:
Network operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) seeking to improve their services.
National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) define the legal and operational environments for the Internet.
Researchers and engineers aiming to quantify and improve Internet resilience and performance in Africa.
Internet users, researchers, and engineers seeking to learn more about the Internet landscape in Africa.
What Will Be Measured?
Internet resilience encompasses many underlying components, ranging from the resilience of physical Internet infrastructure (such as undersea or terrestrial cables) to market resilience and quality of service (QoS), which includes performance, uptime, and available bandwidth.
As part of the MIRA project, we will measure:
The availability and diversity of the physical Internet infrastructure.
The quality of service of the network from the user's perspective.
The availability and efficiency of the peering infrastructure, including the number of IXPs and ISPs.
The availability and performance of the DNS ecosystem (a key component of Internet performance and resilience).
What We've Done So Far
MIRA is already collecting – or preparing to collect – throughput and latency measurements in Benin, Burkina Faso, Congo DRC, Kenya, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tunisia, and South Africa using measurement data from a third party, M-Lab. We'll soon be adding data from the RIPE NCC's RIPE Atlas. These measurements are being carried out in these countries by dedicated Raspberry Pi devices that we call MIRA Pods. The initial data will be available shortly.
Where Can I Find MIRA Data?
The data is available on the Internet Society's Pulse platform so that everyone can easily find the data they need about the state of Internet resilience in the first set of countries in which we're carrying out measurements.
To get a robust overview of the Internet's resiliency in Africa, it's important to increase the number of vantage points, i.e., the networks from where measurements can be carried out. We are slowly rolling out the measurement infrastructure and will need help from volunteers who can host lightweight probes – the MIRA Pods mentioned above – on their home networks. The probes need to be in-home networks in order to capture the real-world experiences of Internet users.
How Can I Find out More about MIRA?

We've got all the information you need on the various TV packages, deals and add-ons available from Vodafone.
Looking for a new TV package? You'll need to have Vodafone broadband in order to avail of its TV plans, so if you're considering switching, why not think about one of their bundles?
for 6 months, €70 thereafter.
Vodafone has loads of broadband and TV and broadband, phone and TV plans to choose from, depending on what you're looking for. With all of the plans, you'll get an introductory discount, which could save you hundreds.
How many TV channels you want - there are two main Vodafone TV packages, Vodafone TV comes with 60 channels, while Vodafone TV Plus has 88.
If you want a landline and - if so - whether you're happy with calls to landlines, or you'd like to be able to call mobiles, too.
What channels do you get with Vodafone TV?
There are two main TV packages available from Vodafone, with the main difference between them being the amount of channels you get.
The Vodafone TV package comes with 60, including all of the of the BBC, RTÉ, Channel 4, and Virgin Media channels.
Meanwhile, Vodafone TV Plus has 88 channels in total, with all the same ones as the Vodafone TV plan, plus extras like Eurosport 1&2, and loads of the Discovery channels.
What features come with Vodafone TV?
Pause, rewind, record and store all your favourite shows.
Watch Netflix directly through the TV box with a dedicated button on the Vodafone remote.
Record up to four shows at once.
Restart a show mid-way through, or catch-up on your favourites that you've missed during the week.
You can also experience live TV on the go with the free Vodafone TV Anywhere app.
Can I get sports with Vodafone TV?
Yes. Vodafone TV already comes with channels like At the Races as standard, while the Vodafone TV Plus package also comes with Eurosport 1&2.
Vodafone broadband and TV customers can also add-on Sky Sports, eir sport, or both to their package for an additional charge. When you sign up to eir sport with Vodafone, you'll get eir Sport 1&2, BT Sport 1, 2 & 3 and BT Sport ESPN.
If you want to get access to Virgin Media Sports, you'll need to sign up directly with Virgin Media, and access the content via their app.
What are the other add-ons for Vodafone TV?
Vodafone TV already has all of the features we've come to expect from digital TV providers, such as the ability to pause, rewind and record live TV and access to an app to watch TV on the move.
How does Vodafone TV compare to eir tv, Sky TV and Virgin Media TV?
Vodafone TV offers much of the same features and channels as eir, Sky, and Virgin Media, however the Sky and Virgin Media TV boxes do allow you to record more shows at once, while still watching TV, which is worth bearing in mind.
Sky and Virgin Media also have standalone TV packages, which could be an advantage, if you're not interested in bundling.
The only real disadvantage of Vodafone TV is that you can't sign up to it as a standalone deal, which means you have to opt for a broadband and TV or broadband, TV and phone package.
This could work well - you'll only have to deal with one provider for billing and payments, and you'll normally save money by bundling. However, it means that if you want Vodafone TV, you don't have the freedom to go with a separate broadband plan from a different provider.

Q: null object reference when creating list tab on android I try to create swipe tabs view. But got an error within my code.
Here is my code:
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_third);

    mAdapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
    setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);

    mTabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
    mPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
    mTabLayout.setTabsFromPagerAdapter(mAdapter);
    mTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mPager);
    mPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(mTabLayout));
}

public static class MyFragment extends Fragment {
    public static final String ARG_PAGE = "arg_page";

    public MyFragment() {

    }

    public static MyFragment newInstance(int pageNumber) {
        MyFragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
        Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
        arguments.putInt(ARG_PAGE, pageNumber);
        myFragment.setArguments(arguments);
        return myFragment;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Bundle arguments = getArguments();
        int pageNumber = arguments.getInt(ARG_PAGE);
        TextView myText = new TextView(getActivity());
        myText.setText("Hello, " + pageNumber);
        myText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        return myText;

    }
}

public class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        ThirdActivity.MyFragment myFragment = new ThirdActivity.MyFragment();
        return myFragment;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 10;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return "Tab" + position;
    }
}

I can't find how to fix it. the error is on line 85:
 int pageNumber = arguments.getInt(ARG_PAGE);

Any suggestion? What should i add so it can work properly.
I've read this link

What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

but can't get it why my code can return null. when i read the code it should return the value.
 arguments.putInt(ARG_PAGE, pageNumber);

and i take the arg_page number. so the value should be there.
Thanks

2019 Briear in Review
I get it. We're well into 2020 by now, and I should have done this earlier in the year, but I'm not giving up on me, and the end of 2019 was rough, so just let me do me, OK? OK.
I've found tremendous joy in 2016, 2017 & 2018 writing my Year-in-Reviews and I don't want to miss the boat. And hell, why not feel like it's January again and not like 2020 is taking off like a rocket into the future and we have no control over it. That reminds me, my Lighthouse Word this year? NOW.
In 2019 I…
had a continued run of successful Guess Who's Coming to Improv? shows with amazingly talented special guest improvisers at Comedy Bar, allowing more opportunities for improvisers to share the stage with the improvisers to whom they look up.
Completed the Harold Studio Series at Bad Dog Theatre.
Released 7 new episodes of The Constant Struggle Podcast with my brother Nick.
Performed many fun sets as Semper Pie with my wonderful improv partner Alicia Douglas, including a few rounds at the World's Biggest Improv Tournament and on the Stupid Good Comedy Show.
Continued writing and performing sketches in The Utilidors with my sketch partner Dave Lahti.
Continued seeing a counsellor to help manage my anxiety.
Had a super successful monthly run of Improv Fallout with Improv Niagara at Mahtay Café in St. Catharines.
Was invited to be a guest judge at the Brock Improv Summit.
Got a fun Valentine's Day make-over on the Marilyn Dennis show with Dan.
That hair though!!!
Continued run of successful POPAGANDA shows at the John Candy Box Theatre with the amazing faculty members of the Second City Training Centre & other awesome local improvisers.
Taught my first (couple) Level C class(es) at SCTC.
Was asked to be the special guest in a few improv shows.
Improv Fallout celebrated its first birthday with a sold out performance, fun prizes and a special toast.
Changed my phone number. (Real-talk: I never liked the 647 one)
Survived another year around the sun.
Got to reconnect with an old pal & former roomie who lives far far away now.
Got back into stand-up comedy, performed all around Toronto & Niagara.
Opened an improv studio for Improv Niagara. Promptly closed it after 6 months because of its drain on resources.
Was asked to guest on a few podcasts.
Got a callback at Generals!
We released the series of informational videos about recycling for the Niagara Region.
Stuff Tie Toss!
Performed narrative longform for the first time with Improv Niagara in St. Catharines' In the Soil Festival.
Played another season in the Toronto Comedy Softball League. The Jokebox, my team, took home the championship again, although I missed the finals. 😢
Performed in the Toronto Fringe Festival for the first time with the awesome KidsFringe show: BOY VS FLY
You don't have to throw a shoe.
Ran a few improv & mental health workshops for women with Fantastic Funny Folks (Candace Meeks & Alicia Douglas.)
Survived a Twitter ban.
Had a blast hosting a fundraiser show for my buddy Dan Rosen.
Survived my car trying to kill me on College St. Subsequently got a new-to-me car.
More auditions this year than ever before. (Thanks Samm!)
Went camping for the first time in a long time with Dan under the craziest, brightest Full Moon.
Booked my first commercial!
More squeeze, please!
Taught stand-up at Second City for the first time.
Met the Mayor of St. Catharines at a flag raising ceremony for Culture Days, in which Improv Niagara participated for our 2nd year in a row.
Took a really cool photo I hope to be able to share with you one of these days.
Made it to our 3rd wedding anniversary with my love, Dan.
Took an improv workshop with the former Artistic Director of the UCB, Shannon O'Neill.
Made it to Tribal Council in Outlaugh Toronto.
Celebrated Guess Who's Coming to Improv's 5th anniversary! Brought the show down to Niagara for the first time.
Performed with a new improv duo partner, Andrew Lizotte, in a fun project entitled High Status Idiots.
Voted in another Federal Election. (My guy didn't win.)
Sold a friggin' house & moved into a new home.
Raised 150lbs of food for needy people in our community in Niagara.
Nous avons dit adieu à ma très chère grand-mère, qui nous a quitté à l'âge de 99 ans.
So probably the end of the year is why it took me so long to write this year-end post. I realize that now. However writing it now feels very good, very cleansing. My grand-mother was full of joie-de-vivre and a very funny woman. I'm certain she would want me to continue doing a similar path.
Que la santé, l'amour et la réussite vous accompagnent dans tous vos projets. Bonne année!

The Other Side of the Table
Another first for ol' Brie here. This week marks the first time I've ever stood behind a table and held auditions of OTHER people for one of my* projects.
(I helped a friend audit once, a little while back, but it doesn't count because I had nothing else to do with the project. Shout-out to Mishi here!)
Though it wasn't a ginormous audition for some big-time movie, or some grand Broadway production, it still felt really freakin' cool! It's me, scouting for people I don't know, who may or may not help me build this brand new-project here in Niagara. It's so fun and exciting! We even had a write-up in the paper about it and everything:
We're going to hold another one in February because we're still a little short on numbers, so I get to do it all over again next month. Hopefully with a whole bunch of people who are super-interested and excited to entertain the Niagara Region by making fun shit up on the spot.
Gimme a Yay! This is so exciting!
*When I say "my" of course, I mean "our". "Our" being Dina and I and anyone invested in the existence and success of Improv Niagara.

Brief Thoughts in Passing: Meeting a Locally Renown Casting Director
Ok, so if ever a casting director comes to somewhere to speak to you for free, and you're really interested in getting into commercials or TV, and maybe her son runs one of the biggest casting houses in the city, and maybe you have some questions you want to ask her, but you also want her to maybe consider you for future projects, or maybe pass your name onto her son for future casting opportunities, maybe, oh I don't know, maybe… TELL HER YOUR NAME!
A tidbit of advice brought to you by someone who has only gone to very few auditions. Take it or or leave it.

Just want to introduce the Feral master account — speedcat_feral! Speedcat is here to be Feral's official representative on forums.
Feel free to address Speedcat in all your Feral-related Mac gaming queries, comments and Skyrim requests.
A speedy welcome to you Speedcat.
The HD remake of the game on windows has a pretty healthy player base and since the game is quite old it would actually run well on pretty much every Mac.
Brad Oliver did the original OS X port, so it would make sense. I'd also love the original, which I never played. It recently got a (Window-store only, yuck) remaster.
All ten of them, half of which mainly play on PC or console these days.
AoE and AoE 2 would also be nice on iOS, with their expansions of course. Let's see, what else... Fallout 1 & 2 would be good.
Oh, yeah I almost forgot you guys need to port Skyrim to iOS too. I don't understand what is taking so long. If anyone can crush Skyrim into 4 gigs, it's Feral. Don't forget the notch!
Speaking of the notch, I look forward to Rome Total War on the iPhone X soon!
You'll like it here and find us to be very reasonable in our expectations.
Definitely this. I've always loved Age of Empires II. It was one of the first games I ever played on our first PC and it was the first RTS game I ever played. I absolutely loved that game and literally spent hundreds of hours with this game. To me Age of Empires II is still one of the best games ever made and simply the best RTS game ever and the best product Microsoft has ever released. Seeing this game magically pop up in the Mac App Store someday would be an instant buy for me.
Great, another cat to deal with. Isn't a battle cat enough? Now we have one on speed. Y'all are killin' me.
Speedcat: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Mass Effect 1-3, Assasins Creed 3+, Far Cry 1+, for Mac. You may reply to this thread when you've convinced your superiors to start porting them. Thank you very much!
Oh, and Half-Life 3 now we are at it, please. But I will allow you to reply to the thread before this is confirmed in the making. I am that kind.
Brad Oliver did the original OS X port, so it would make sense.
And was a beta tester on it, so it makes double sense! Maybe.
The Witcher 3, Far Cry 1+, for Mac.
Yes, please. The first Far Cry was an absolutely amazing game and very high in my list of favourite games. This brilliant game would be an instant buy for if released for the Mac.
The Witcher series is something I'm also very interested in. I've actually got the first one for the PC, but until now I've never found the time to play it.
Another great game I'd love to play on the Mac would be F.E.A.R. and the expansion packs and of course the new Doom and Wolfenstein games, but after Rage we haven't seen any games from id Software on the Mac, so I don't have any hope it's ever going to happen. Of course, I also don't have any hope Far Cry of F.E.A.R. are ever going to be released on the Mac, especially since they're considered old games by now, but one can only dream.
Intel-compatible versions of the Max Payne series (how much work is it actually to port from PPC to 64-bit Intel?) and the first Mafia (so we can play the whole trilogy on the Mac, instead of just the last two games).
The combat in the first Witcher is very...bad. The story is quite good, however. My general recommendation for new Witcher players is to watch a movie version of 1 on YouTube and then play 2 and 3.
I didn't have too high expectations due to the age of the game, and the fact that I hadnt heard too much about it back then.
It completely blew me away when I played it 2 years ago. It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend it.
I didn't mind the combat at all. it actually felt fresh to me, since it was so different from other games, and I picked it up easily. It actually requires some skill other than 'click on enemy and wait until he is dead'. So I say play it while it still works on modern macOS'..
FarCry 1, FEAR, Max Payne 1 & 2 all work in WINE - still have them installed on my Mac and cheap in GOG sales etc.
The "skill" was clicking whenever your mouse cursor was highlighted. Or clicking at the audio cue if you had hard mode on. They used the NWN engine which wasn't really designed for third person combat and you could tell--the whole thing felt like it was about to break when you played it.
Cougar, you can play the Witcher 1 in isometric view like NWN rather than third person, that's what I did. Sadly they removed this option in Witcher 2.
You may reply to this thread when you've convinced your superiors to start porting them. Thank you very much!
Maybe I took Thain Esh Kelch a little too seriously .
That's a shame about the PPC version of the original version if we ever have any news to share on Age of Empires II: HD Edition, I'll be here faster than you can say "Great Mosque of Samarra"!
As you mentioned, we're toiling away to bring ROME: Total War to iPhone, and another mystery iOS project that's floating on the Feral Radar. Perhaps that mystery project is Age of Empires... or Fallout... or Skyrim... or a mix of all three?
Now there's a list! Afraid I have nothing to share on those games but... Wait a minute... In your first sentence, there are 3 instances of the number 3. Coincidence, or Half-Life 3 confirmed as an exclusive for IMG users?
No news on Far Cry, F.E.A.R, DOOM or Wolfenstein, but that doesn't mean you should stop dreaming! Plus, nobody else has mentioned DOOM yet, and it wouldn't be a Mac requests thread without the DOOM/Skyrim/Witcher holy trinity!
Phew. So many requests. Thain, DirtyHarry, if you could execute that rescue operation now, that would be great .

We have the ability to 'de-extinct' animals. Should we?
If we caused species to go extinct, some say we have an obligation to try to revive them. But that could have unintended consequences.
By Laura Shin | April 18, 2014 -- 19:00 GMT (12:00 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
The pyrenean ibex, a type of mountain goat also called a bucardo, went extinct in 2000. But for the first time in history, the species' tale didn't end there. A couple years later, 57 mountain goats were implanted with bucardo embryos created with the same technology that produced the first clone, Dolly. Just one gave birth to a bucardo with a lung deformity. It died after a few minutes, during which it gasped for air.
Depending on how you define the concept, this was the first time that a species was "de-extincted" — or at least the first noteworthy attempt. While the term sounds straight out of sci-fi, this ultimate act of playing God will soon become a more common phenomenon. In addition to cloning, two other technologies could allow us to de-extinct animals within the next several years: back-breeding, the process of selectively breeding a close living relative of an extinct species for the characteristics of the extinct one; or for species for which we do not have genetic material, genetic engineering, which requires sequencing the species' genome, and then editing sections of the genetic code of related living species with that synthesized DNA. In fact, scientists are already working on resurrecting the passenger pigeon, a type of wild ox called the aurochs, the heath hen and a type of Australian frog that gave birth through its mouth.
In other words, scientists are not debating whether or not we should de-extinct animals. For them, it's a matter of how and which species we will select. But all this fervor is generating a lot of heavy questions.
"The idea that we're taking a very direct hand in what feels like creating life taps into — even if you're not strongly religious — all sorts of moral, ethical issues. Do we have the knowledge to do that? Do we have some kind of right to do that? There are some deep veins of unease that these kinds of things trigger," says Philip Seddon, a zoologist at New Zealand's University of Otago, who created a 10-point checklist for examining which species are optimal candidates for de-extinction.
The major concerns fall into five categories, says Hank Greely, a Stanford law professor and director of its Center for Law and the Biosciences: animal welfare, moral, health, environmental and political.
As to animal welfare, could de-extinction cause suffering for both gestational mothers and for any animals produced, such as that bucardo? "De-extinction is not worth it if you purchase it with the suffering of tens of thousands of animals," Greely says.
On moral grounds, some people may object that de-extincting species is playing God and that extinct species became so for a reason. (Though Greely notes that humans have been playing God since our hunter-gatherer days.)
Potential health and environmental risks also give pause: Resurrected species could become vectors for disease or invasive, disrupting ecosystems or causing other species to go extinct.
But Greely says the biggest consequences of de-extinction could be political: "The biggest argument for the Endangered Species Act is: 'Extinction is forever.' And de-extinction threatens to overturn that," he says. It could be the perfect vehicle for the many political groups looking to kill the Endangered Species Act.
On the other hand, there are a number of reasons to pursue this brave, new science. "[These arguments] come down to the idea that, firstly, for things that have gone extinct on our watch, we have a moral obligation to try and bring them back," Seddon says. He adds that developing de-extincting technologies could further human health and reproductive science. Plus, resurrected species could again play crucial roles in ecosystems, making them more resilient, increasing biodiversity and producing more ecosystem services to human benefit.
For Greely, one of the most compelling reasons to de-extinct species is an emotional one. "I think the biggest reason to bring back extinct species is that it would be, if I'm trying to be serious and sober, awes—" here, he stops and catches himself before saying "awesome" — "it would cause feelings of awe. And if I'm being more straightforward and candid, it would be seriously cool…. That's a good thing in and of itself — for humans to experience awe, amazement, interest in nature, and I think it has good possible consequences in making people interested in biology, nature and conservation biology, in particular."
But those attempting de-extinction face extreme challenges: While producing one surviving de-extincted individual would be an achievement in itself, creating a viable, genetically diverse population that could exist in the wild rather than in a zoo is an even more distant dream.
So some ecologists propose a third way of applying the new technology that conservation groups, who are eyeing it suspiciously, could embrace: Use de-extinction techniques to save already endangered species.
Kate Jones, ecologist and conservationist at University College London, says, "It would be better to use these techniques to help species with very, very small populations, like tens of individuals. I think it would be better, and much easier, to use them on those species to create clones, increase genetic diversity, or help them gain resistance to pathogens rather than to de-extinct something and put it into a habitat already threatened with anthropogenic stressors." Admitting that this method has one problem — "you'd lose the excitement or coolness or wow factor" — Jones suggests that it would be cheaper, and would also turn around the wary conservation community.
Greely agrees that applying de-extinction techniques in this way could sidestep the thorny issues that the idea raises, but it wouldn't stop some from pursuing the thrill of resurrecting a live species. When that happens, he advises that scientists pursue species that could provide environmental benefits and that people find charismatic: "A lot of birders would love to see more passenger pigeons, but most people would say, 'We don't have enough pigeons already?'"

You feel good of you can be able to protect yourself against any danger or harm. Most people in Greenville, are encouraged to learn self-defense mechanisms.
Currently, people have started the programs of coaching people on self-defense mechanisms for those who want to learn. You can choose to pay for your kids and yourself if you do not know how to defend yourself. Do not take these mechanisms as anything simple or a way of wasting time and money. Get more info on martial arts Greer. Here are some reasons why you should learn some self defense mechanisms.
You will be taught more on self-defense. It is important for someone to attend to this classes because the feelings that he or she gains after the training are not the same with the feelings one had before the training. It is obvious that majority of the people in Greenville are not confident with themselves. From the training, you get to gain some courage and feel better that you were feeling before because you feel that nothing can challenge you. You are able to defend yourself against any danger without fear.
You will have body balance after the training. It is hard for some people to do more than one thing at a go. Defense training coaches you how to do more than one thing at a go. Doing two activities at the same time, helps by working on the balance of someone. This way your focus gets improved. If someone does not have body balance, then he or she will not be able to fight.
One develops some discipline after attending the lessons. You might feel like doing away with the lessons from what you go through in the first lessons. It is common to get injured during this lessons because most people do get injured during the training but there is no chance of losing hope. It is not wise for one to lose hope after being injured during the first or any time of the training because there is the main thing that you should learn after your training.
It helps one in improving his or her physical condition. When one is joining defense classes he or she aims at being able to handle any situation that might come his way and needs to be defended. After you have finished your lessons, you become physically fit. This will be showed when another person tries to fight you. Get more info on self-defense Greer. You feel a certain feeling in within you that gives you some courage to face your enemy.
It teaches you more about self-respect. Most tutors who coach people on self defense, major their teachings on trust and respect. You will be taught how to respect one another and yourself as well. Every person should make sure that he or she has some respect. People who do not respect themselves do not respect others.

African ostrich: description of the bird, place of residence, reproduction and photo
What do we know about the largest bird on the planet - ostriches? Most feasts believe in the myth that the ostrich, supposedly, with any danger, puts his head in the sand, as if it was silly it did not sound( try yourself to put your head in a pile of sand and breathe there for at least a minute).But how did
come up with such a myth, and what do these birds represent? What types of ostriches live on our planet? Why are they so called? Here we will talk about this in our article.

19 Conclusions
How many species on the planet genuine ostrich
know, what similarity between conventional ostriches and penguins? Both those and birds are birds, but, unfortunately, they can not fly. But if the penguins live mainly in the cold regions, they feed on ice-cold water, and their eggs hatch, sitting in the snow, the ostriches are much better. These representatives of birds have chosen warm countries of Africa and Australia. Savannah and semi-desert - this is where the ostrich is African, and many other types of ostriches.
However, scientists argue that it is the African species that refers to the same "original" ostriches. All other types - to him and the nandu - are close to them in affinity, but make up a separate detachment. The same to him, for example, is faster a bird similar to an ostrich. In other words, the ostrich - the only surviving member of the ostrich family( Struthiоnidae).
Why their so-called
His Latin name - "Struthiо сamelus" - these birds have received because of the similarity with camels and sparrows. In the translation from the Greek name the species sounds like a "camel sparrow".Well, and our compatriots, especially in Latin, are not tempted, which later became known as "ceuza" "ostrich".
Range of habitats
Three hundred years ago, these birds could be seen not only in Africa, but also in Palestine, as well as in Asia Minor. Unfortunately, the predatory extermination of ostriches has led to the fact that to date the range of their habitat is "squeezed" to the savanna and semi-desert of the African continent. They live in the east, in the central part and in southwest Africa.
As for Asia, ostriches were destroyed in the middle of the last century.
Ostriches are great to run, so they prefer to live in the plains, here they have a great advantage. That is why they avoid settling in dense thickets, in the swamp or in the desert - there it is difficult to develop the maximum speed.
Subspecies of African Ostriches
Ornithologists distinguish four varieties or ostrich breeds. These include:
South African sub-species. In southern Africa they are bred on farms. The main difference between the subspecies is the gray neck.
Northern subspecies. The zone of their existence in the wilderness covers several African states in the south of the Sahara Desert. The main difference of the subspecies is the pinkish-brown neck.
Eastern sub-species - they are also called "pink ostrich".These birds live in Ethiopia, southern Somalia and Kenya, as well as in eastern Tanzania. In this subspecies, the neck is pink, but when the marriage occurs, the male's neck becomes red.
The Somali ostrich - as you can understand from the name, lives in Somalia, in southern Ethiopia, as well as in the northeastern part of Kenya. In this subspecies, the neck, and at the same time the hips have a beautiful gray-blue. However, during marriage games the neck in males of Somali ostriches also gets a pronounced red color.
Ostriches can occasionally be grouped into groups of up to 50 individuals, but these birds prefer to live alone. Having found a pair, the male and female stay together for many years. Ostriches are sedentary, that is, they do not roam, but prefer to live in one locality.
Large but weak wings do not let the ostrich
pop up Why ostriches do not fly
All right, these birds can not fly. Wings in them, as well as in any representatives of birds, are, but they are underdeveloped. In addition:
they do not have a ring;
very weak muscles on the chest;The
skeleton is not pneumatic.
Add to this description can be as follows. The body of the ostrich has a large, we can say gigantic weight, and fly, as you know, only birds of small size. Even if the owls had normal wings, they would hardly have been able to raise in the air a carcass weighing from 70 to 135 kilograms and up to 2.7 meters high.
Features of the feet
Instead of the possibility of flying nature gave these birds strong and hardy legs, thanks to which they are perfectly running, sometimes gaining incredible speed - up to 65 kilometers per hour. When running on a flat terrain, an ostrich can overtake an Arabic horse, not to mention a man - in fact, the fastest runners-athletes develop a speed of no more than 30 kilometers per hour, and then only in short intervals. The ostrich can move at a maximum speed of about half an hour.
The legs of the ostrich are in some way a unique creature. Judge for yourself.
They are very long and have powerful muscles. The length of the step of the ostrich in running reaches eight and a half meters.
There are only two fingers on the paw, while all other bird species on the planet have three or even four fingers.
One finger is just huge and holds practically the entire foot of the paw. In this case, he also equipped with a claws.
The second finger is much smaller, with no claws. The bird is not based on it, but thanks to it, the ostriches maintain balance in walking, and when running, this finger improves the grip of the legs to the ground.
Poultry Features
All subspecies, whether Somali or Black African ostrich, have one very interesting natural feature. Their waste of life, in particular, feces and urine, leaves these birds not like all the other birds, in the form of a single litter, but separately, practically as humans. Ostriches are the only birds on the planet, have a complete bladder.
They also have other features: the
their neck does not have a pronounced goiter, as in other birds, but it is able to stretch too much. This allows ostriches to swallow a large meal altogether;
their vision is well developed, in the steppe it gives them the opportunity to spot a predator from a very long distance;
they even have something like the ears, as the external ear holes somewhat protrude beyond the boundary of the feather, forming a miniature eyelets.
Bird or animal
For the first time, scientists have been asking a lot about the correctness of the statement that ostriches are members of the bird tribe. Very many of them are atypical. For such doubts - a bird or an animal - for example, such interesting facts about ostriches:
they do not escape escape at the sight of large predators. Being able to run fast, ostriches, protecting their offspring, can withstand not only the small hyena, but even the African lion - their strong muscular legs are very formidable weapons;
grazing these birds are often preferred in the company of herbivores, for example, antelopes or even bison. But here, to lead friendship with other birds, they do not like ostriches;
being birds, ostriches, however, are extremely enduring, they can be ridden or harnessed to a cart, which many of their owners successfully overcome;
, unlike birds that fly well, but slowly move around the earth, the ostriches are all the opposite.
We think that to refer to ordinary ostriches to the wildlife, we have the right to the same extent as people - because all living on this planet necessarily refers either to plants, to animals. But still, they have more features that are inherent to birds. Judge for yourself:
so, their wings are underdeveloped, but they are;
is covered with feathers of almost 80% of their entire body, as it belongs to a feathered tribe;
there are no eggs or teeth in the ostrich, but there is a real beak. In the era of dinosaurs, by the way, there were archeopteryxes that had both a beak and teeth, but unfortunately they long died out;The
female ostrich, as it is the birds, lays eggs to hatch them.
Therefore, it is not surprising that scientists came to the conclusion that the ostrich is still a bird, not a beast. Although similarities are with them and with others, but the habits and many characteristics of the ostrich give grounds to say so.
Variety of Feathers
Almost all of the ostrich feathers are covered with feathers alike, although the color of feathers, beak and paws may vary. The same applies to the color difference in males and females of one subspecies.
The main plumage is fluffy and curly and covers:
trunk;
wings and tail.
In addition to feathers, there is also a fluff, but only very short. They are covered:
head and neck;
upper half of the legs( the bottom is covered with large scales).The
Pooh, as we said, is short, it's hardly visible, so the areas that are covered by it from afar are bare.
The male joins the female. It stands out and attracts females due to the splendid feather of
. How to distinguish a male from a female
There is a certain difference in the coloration of ostrich feathers of men and women, as well as additional sexual dimorphism. In particular:
males are much larger than females;
coloring of feathers in males of strictly black color, and in females feathers are gray-brown;
feathers in males on wings and on the tail have a white and pure color, in females - dirty white.
It's also interesting to see how different individuals look in one flock. Although there is usually no permanent flock, nevertheless, a certain hierarchy prevails in it. In particular, the individuals "class" above - alpha - their neck and tail pulled exactly upwards, trying to show the others their preference. Other individuals hold the tail and the neck obliquely, which is a peculiar form of subordination.
Dozens of years old ostriches were shot by poachers, but now they are taken under protection
Accommodation and Nutrition
At night, these birds rest. The dream of ostriches is very peculiar:
part of the night spend the birds, lying on the ground and pulling out the neck. This is the so-called deep sleep phase, but it does not last long;The
is followed by a much longer half-life - the ostriches sit on the ground, lifting their necks high, while closing their eyes;
both phases periodically change each other.
During the day when it is very hot, ostriches also have a kind of siesta. The main activity comes at dusk. Being a stupid bird, ostriches, however, are very cautious, though not particularly sober they will not be called either.
The sharp sight of these birds allows them to see a threat for a kilometer, so when they feed they occasionally raise their heads and look around. Ostriches are omnivorous, they eat and plant food - flowers, fruits and shoots, as well as do not shy away petty livestock - insects, reptiles and rodents. Within a day of ostriches eat 3.5 kilos of food.
By the way, the ostrich is able to dispense a long time without water, because it contains a lot of moisture in the plants they eat. However, in captivity, they are willing to drink water, and many, and even like to arrange water bathing.
Scientists at one time found out how much ostriches live. It turned out that their age is approximately equal to the human, that is, 75 years. In one zoo in Europe, the South African ostrich has lived for almost half a century, although it has brought it there already to adults.
The brain and memory of the ostrich
The ostrich's brain is about its size, although it is worth noting that the eyes in the bird are quite large, with the average egg of the homemade chicken. Brain is about 35 grams, so it is believed that ostriches are not able to permanently memorize any information - for a minute, no more.
Behavior at risk
Having noticed the rapprochement of a predator, the ostrich prefers not to contact with it, but rather to climb away. By the way, this is the kind of symbiosis of this species of birds with herbivores - those who can not see so far. Barking with them in one company, ostriches serve as peculiar watchmen. Worth the ostrich "to throw", as together with him begin to escape and all animals - antelope or bison.
Due to its view - ostriches can see a predator for several kilometers
As attacking ostriches
Reasonable caution when in danger is inherent to ostriches during the extracurricular period. But their behavior is strikingly changing when they begin to sow egg laying. Here, these birds are capable of displaying extraordinary courage.
The number of eggs in the masonry averages 15 - 20 pieces, although in East Africa their number reaches 60. Hanging masonry alternately and females - in the afternoon, because the color of their feathers allows them to camouflage on the ground, and males - at night.
On ostrich eggs among predators - hyenas and jackals - there is a real hunt, especially since in the daytime the masonry is often left open, giving access to the rays of the hot sun. But if the ostrich is detected and the predator creeps into it, its reaction will be unequivocally aggressive: the
initially bird tries to frighten the enemy, pulling out the neck and widespread opening the wings, increasing in this way in size;
if the threat does not work, the ostrich is accelerated and attacks, using the strength of their paws. The enemy either trample, or beat a paw with a force that can break even a lion's skull.
But usually the same hyenas hunt ostrich eggs by flocks - until a couple of individuals distract the warlike father on themselves, others get to the laying.
Young ostriches do not leave the parents for up to two years, after which
disperses. Reproduction and offspring
The period of pairing in birds of the family of ostriches lasts for five months, beginning in the first month of the summer and ending in the middle of autumn. But this is for individuals living in humid areas of Africa. Ostriches living in the wilderness may come together throughout the year.
During a marriage period, stable flocks, numbering dozens of birds, fall apart. Each male "captures" a certain area from an area of two to 15 square kilometers, diligently expelling from it all possible competitors. Call females males with a special current. Individual:
falls to the knees;
starts to beat wings in rhythm;The
throws its head back, trembling with its neck around its neck.
The neck and legs of males at such moments become bright red. They sound, when interpreted, as sizzling, and tubular, gaining a full flow of air and letting it out through a long esophagus - a kind of roar turns out.
There can be several females to cover a male, but only one of them forms a pair. Eggs all females lay in a specially dug male nest hole, 30 to 60 centimeters deep.
The laying of all females is common, only the dominant female collects its eggs in the center. When all the eggs are delayed, the older female passes by others and begins to suck. During the day, the rest of the female will change it from time to time. The period of hatching takes about a month - a half and a half.

Features of chicks
A ripe ostrich chick breaks an egg shell for about an hour. After all the surviving chicks come out, the remaining eggs are broken up by older birds to attract flies - flies of chicks and will eat for the first time. Oysters hatched oyster:
has eyesight;
covered with a gun;
can move independently;The
weighs a bit more than a kilogram, but for up to four months, weighs up to 20 kilos.
Typically, chicks of all ages are tied to each other, mixed, and it is already impossible to separate the chicks of one group from another. For the care of the group among the parents, this is exactly the beginning of this fight, and the winners have to take care of different-year-old chicks.
For the first two months, "children" have a yellow raspberry coating and are more like hedgehogs. A bit later on their body appears a feather, the color of which coincides with the color of the feathers of female mummies. Male chicks acquire black feathers only in the second year. For three to four years, individuals are already ready to mating.
The local names of ostriches
In Africa people in different ways call females and ostriches. When the grown chicks are already ready for pairing, it is called "edlymom"( black and smooth), and before that, the chicks and their mothers name "ribs"( dark gray).The ostriches themselves are called natives "naamot"( soft and beautiful).
So, we found that an ostrich, a bird, and not an animal. You know where they live, what they eat and what their behavior is in different periods of time. If you are interested in this information and you want to do the breeding of these birds, we will be glad to help you with your advice.

Q: Mono WCF client cannot talk to .NET WCF server when Transport security is enabled Here is how I run WCF host:
var baseAddress = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:2222/blah");

var binding = new NetTcpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Transport;

var sh = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyServiceImpl), baseAddress);
sh.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMyService), binding, baseAddress);
sh.Open();

Here's my client:
Uri uri = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:2222/blah");
var address = new EndpointAddress(uri);
var binding = new NetTcpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Transport;
var client = new MyServiceClient(binding, address);
client.Open();

When I execute both client and server using Mono 2.10 runtime, all works. But when server is running on .NET 4.0, I get a System.IO.IOException: Read failure ---> System.Exception: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. I also verified that with binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.None all works fine. Is there a possibility that I could somehow make those two runtimes interoperate with properly working security?

A: Unfortunately, support for NetTcpBinding is very limited in Mono and it does not support any kind of security.
If you only look at the source of of NetTcpBinding.cs, it may appear that it does, but if you look at the actual binding elements, you'll see a lot of methods that are not implemented.
I actually ran into the same problem a couple of days ago while I was working on my new WCF configuration system, wanted to get NetTcpBinding working with security and when I investigated why it was not working, I realised that too much is not implemented, so it's probably a larger task to get it working.
Also note that by default, NetTcpBinding uses WindowsStreamSecurityBindingElement - unfortunately, I could not find any documentation on the underlying transport mechanism.

If you have a Burning Question that you need to have an answer to then try my new concept..
Here are a couple of replies from questions posted to me this last week..
Liz asked the following Question.
Thank you Liz for your Burning Question..
This is a tricky time for the organisation. They do not have a strong strategy going forward and they are at six's and seven's as to what they really need.
Because you have set up some new incentives and ideas for staff they will pick this up and will drill down in the interview what else you can see as development strategies.
The interview is more of a look and see who is out there.
I see a female a good deal younger in the offing too. She is good at talking the talk.. But not much good at delivery.
I suspect they will have a hard job justifying their decision. There is one board member or director who wants to see new blood, he/she is wrong. It will not work.
You will get this job.. Go in hard and sell all the ideas you can see for the organisation.
That is really interesting and very accurate about the state of the organisation.
The interview is Thursday week. My competitor is a young female I am told. Strange, I didn't really want the permanent gig but now that I am in it I see it is doable and I can make a difference.
Sarah wrote one word :" Relationships?."
Sarah you are a lady that likes to look after yourself really well. Appearance and how you look to the world is really important to you.
In any relationship you will start with great caution and not take a huge leap of faith..
I see a child here and not sure whether you are responsible for care and continued support of a school age daughter/son?
I also see an older woman either looking after your home or you feel responsible for her too..
In addition the new relationship or love interest has it's ups and downs as you juggle all these people.
I do not see you being alone for the rest of your life.
You function really well with a partner as you feel more powerful and dynamic.
Simply amazing! Yes I have a little 5-year old daughter starting kindy next year.
My mum just went through surgery and I've always been responsible for everyone. I'm capable of being alone but I'm tired of going it alone. Definitely more powerful and dynamic if I have my equal with me.
If you have a Burning Question that you must have an answer too.. please follow the links here for your fast 24 hour response. Find out more.

Q: Show one can get a finite Galois extension
Let $L$ be a normal extension over $k$, and let $a\in\overline{k}\cap L^c$ such that $L(a)$ is Galois over $L$. Then show there exists a finite extension $L'$ over $k$ such that $L'$ is contained in $L$, $L'(a)|L'$ is Galois  and $Gal(L'(a)|L)$ is isomorphic to $Gal(L(a)|L)$. In particular if $L$ is Galois over $k$ then we can choose $L'$ Galois over $k$.

Since $L(a)|L$ is Galois, it is normal and separable and $min(a,L)$ splits in $L(a)$. I think I have to use the Galois correspondence here i.e. I need to get a proper subgroup of $Gal(L(a)|L)$ whose fixed field will be $L'$. But I cannot really think of it.

A: Maybe this can be useful. Let $a_1,\ldots,a_k$ the coefficients of the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $L$. Set $L_1=k(a_1,\ldots,a_k)$. Let $M$ be the normal closure of $L_1(\alpha)$ and set $L^{\prime}:=M\cap L$. Notice that $M/L^{\prime}$ is Galois, this implies that $Gal(L(\alpha)/L)=Gal(ML/L)\cong Gal(M/L^{\prime})$. Since $L_1\subseteq L^{\prime}$,  $[M:L^{\prime}]=[L^{\prime}(\alpha):L^{\prime}]$, so $L^{\prime}(\alpha)=M$.
$L^{\prime}$ should be the extension that you are looking for.

How Things Look the Way They Do
Most works have their origin in what's been seen in pictures and literature, and of course in everyday life and memories. Every work has a before and after, but above all a presence in the free fall of time.
The studio resembles a bunker beside a hardware store's basement in southside Stockholm. Hence the feeling of going down a chamber, a place for interpretation, storing and processing impressions from outside and further.
When I work, sometimes I get to think of Norman Mailer's novel Ancient Nights. It's set in Egypt where the process of embalming is described by the diseased. It's a fine transition, changing between subject and object, including memories, dreams and mythology while all the tools and materials needed for the mummification are described.
What is it in this that I find inspiring? I believe it's the act of sampling thoughts, that will be materialized, in the stream of work.
There are artistic practitioners who point out directions and forms to embrace and work further on with. In the vortex of impressions, it's the hand and the scrutinizing gaze that decide what you end up with.
I suspect that existential matters are strongly connected to entertainment since I never get bored during work.

Barcelona 'cannot believe' Tottenham offered to pay £25.8m for Emerson Royal
Emerson struggling with Tottenham
Tottenham would sign Emerson Royal from FC Barcelona on transfer deadline day during the 2021 summer window.
The Brazilian is believed to have set the club back €30m, and is also understood to have attracted interest from Spurs' north London rivals, Arsenal, over the summer.
Since making the switch to Tottenham, Emerson has not had the best of times.
The right-back featured for 90 minutes vs Crystal Palace on his debut, coming in for heavy criticism from fans as his new side went on to lose 3-0.
LONDON, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 11: Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace battles for possession with Emerson of Tottenham Hotspur during the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park on September 11, 2021 in London, England. (Photo by Paul Harding/Getty Images)
Barcelona's shock at Emerson deal
Despite his slow start, Emerson has continued to be a key feature for the north Londoners this term.
Even under new boss Antonio Conte, Emerson has maintained a starting berth. Apart from missing two games due to injury, the South American has started in every single one of the Italian's league games as Spurs boss.
However, even though Conte has continued to pick Emerson, reports emerged recently that the former Inter Milan boss has doubts over Emerson's ability to play as a right-wing-back.
Now, a further bit of information regarding Emerson has come to light that is unlikely to please Tottenham fans – though it may bring a smile to the faces of their London rivals Arsenal who, as mentioned above, did look to be interested in Emerson over the summer before they eventually signed Takehiro Tomiyasu.
As reported by The Telegraph, sources claim Barcelona still cannot believe Spurs offered to pay £25.8m for Emerson.
The same report, though, claims Tottenham are looking to add another right-wing-back to their squad, with Wolves' Adama Traore mentioned.

We operate a cashless catering system in school so that money does not exchange hands and purchases of school dinners, snacks and beverages is electronic using biometric registration and recognition system.
The system provides us with a more efficient, faster and ultimately better quality of service. It incorporates the latest biometric technology and eliminates the need for pupils to carry cash throughout the day, reducing the risk of bullying.
Please be assured that a fingerprint is not stored, a reference of a small number of points on the finger is scanned, converted into a code and the next time the childs finger is scanned it simply checks that the same points are in the same places, the details cannot be extracted or used for any other purpose.
There are obvious safeguarding benefits and efficiency at the food serving points as no money changes hands, students do not have to carry cash around school, parents do not need to give children cash to take to school for lunches (and school trips) and are instead encouraged to keep their child's cashless catering account topped up automatically using the Parent Pay system by debit card or credit card online. This gives you peace of mind that dinner money is safe and being used for that purpose, school trip money is safe and used only for the payment of school trips (when indicated)..
A daily 'spend limit' of £5 will be programmed into the system for all students. This can be increased or decreased for an individual student by making a written request to the kitchen manager.
For Cashless Catering purposes students are registered with a biometric finger scan used to identify their account at the till. Biometric registration does not store fingerprints but translates it into a set of encrypted code, a unique digitally encrypted biometric code, to identify each students' cashless catering account at our catering tills. Each student has their own cashless catering account registered to them, operated using their finger or thumb at the catering tills (biometric recognition).
Biometric Consent is sought from parents in the Data Collection Sheet during the enrollment process. Please complete the Data Collection Sheet in your welcome pack in full on both sides and return it to school.
All Biometric data is stored securely in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and General Data Protection Regulation 2018 and is not transferred, shared, accessed, used or stored for any other purpose than cashless catering (school dinners).
If parents choose not to consent to biometric registration for their child, a lunch card can be issued alternatively at a cost of £5 each but please note they do not have the same level of security as the Biometric System. It will be your child's responsibility to keep their lunch card safe and if lost a replacement card will cost £5 in every instance.
Student biometric data is deleted when a student leaves Gateacre School.
We use Parent Pay, a secure online payment portal to enable parents to credit money to their child's cashless catering account for school dinners, snacks or to pay for trips.
Parent Pay enables parents to credit money to their child's cashless catering account or top it up at any time, 24/7 online by credit or debit card.
When a student enrolls at Gateacre, parents automatically receive a letter confirming their unique activation code and ID for their Parent Pay account. Please keep this safe.
Students can still top up their account in school at any of the 3 revaluation pay-point machines around school to pay cash into their cashless catering account.
To make payments online, parents/carers need to use their activation code once received and set up their own personal account. Please click here to access ParentPay and activate your account or login.

SC summons interior secretary, DG FIA, and police chief over harassment of journalists
ISLAMABAD—The Supreme Court has asked three senior officials, including the interior secretary, the director general FIA, and the Islamabad police inspector general to appear before it on August 26 to hear the government's version on the rising incidents of harassment of journalists, Dawn reported.
The court issued the directives in response to a four-page petition complaining that journalists were facing increasing acts of intimidation at the hands of security agencies.
The court regretted that the FIA appeared to have overstepped its mandate and undermined the nation's confidence in the judiciary.
A two-judge SC bench, consisting of Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel, also issued notices to the secretaries of information and broadcasting, religious affairs, and human rights ministries and to the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE), All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS), the Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA), Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) and Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), asking them to state whether the allegations made in the application were correct or not.
The apex court took up the matter after Abdul Qayyum Siddiqui, a former president of the Press Association of the Supreme Court (PAS), drew its attention to the rising incidents of harassment of journalists.
The court observed that since the application had raised matters of public importance regarding the enforcement of fundamental rights, it met the criteria for invoking Article 184(3) of the Constitution.
Moreover, the Supreme Court observed, if the allegations were true it would be a grave transgression of the Constitution requiring urgent redress.
The court issued notices to the heads of the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTC) and the Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC), asking them to reply in writing whether they uphold the fundamental right of a free press and comply with different judgments in this regard.
Attorney General Khalid Jawed Khan and the advocates general of the four provinces and Islamabad Capital Territory were issued notices under the Code of Civil Procedure.
According to the order, journalists were being harassed, intimidated, attacked, and shot at. "There are no consequences for the perpetrators and those who should be protecting journalists and ensuring freedom of the press are themselves involved."
The court's order also referred to a press release issued by the FIA stating that criminal cases had been registered against some journalists because they reported against the judiciary.
But the press release did not disclose what was said against the judiciary.
"The press release creates an impression as if criminal cases were registered at the behest of the judiciary, and in doing so it portrays the judiciary to be inimical to the guaranteed fundamental right of a free press," the order regretted.
"The FIA appears to have overstepped its mandate and to have undermined the people's confidence in the judiciary, the guarantor of fundamental rights."
Such tactics could undermine the respect, regard, and confidence of the people in the judiciary and send an impression as if the judiciary stands with the FIA, the order said.
The court asked the FIA director-general, "without whose authorization the press release could not have been issued and who has not retracted it", to disclose who authorized the issuance of the press release and to explain why had he allowed its issuance, especially since it made mention of the judiciary. He should explain why he did not withdraw the press release if it was issued without his consent, the Supreme Court added.
The court ordered the submission of a list of cases filed against journalists. The list should specify the actual content—a transcript of the text which constituted an offence in FIA's eyes.
