The joke of 'secure Britain': Vile banned militant extremist strolls through Heathrow immigration as 200 Somalian criminals are allowed to stay due to human rights

Free to walk the streets, asylum seeker thieves and drug dealers

Impunity: Banned radical extremist Raed Salah walking free in the streets of Leicester yesterday
Britain's powerlessness to control who has the right to be in this country was glaringly exposed last night by two extraordinary cases.
In the first, an anti-Semitic preacher of hate whom the Home Secretary had banned from entering Britain was able to stroll in through Heathrow.
Last night, Raed Salah was giving a lecture organised by Islamist radicals to a large crowd in Leicester, and today he was due to speak at Westminster at the invitation of Left-wing Labour MPs.
In the second, a bombshell ruling by European judges blocked the deportation of some 200 Somali criminals back to their homeland.
The Strasbourg court said the men, including drug dealers and serial burglars, might be persecuted in war-torn Somalia, and that they must be allowed to stay to protect their human rights.
So, irrespective of how heinous their crimes or the danger they present to the public, Britain has no power to expel them.
The ruling by the European Court of Human Rights stemmed from appeals against deportation by two asylum seekers convicted of a string of serious offences including burglary, making threats to kill and drug dealing.
But it will now also apply to 214 other similar cases which have been lodged with the court using Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Article 3, which protects against torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, is an 'absolute' right, meaning that it applies regardless of the offences committed.
The two men, who were both granted thousands in legal aid to fight their cases, will now be released from immigration detention centres and will be free to walk the streets.
They were jointly awarded more than £20,000 for costs and expenses.
Critics accused the Government of rolling over to the demands of the court, and branded the Human Rights Act a 'criminals' charter'.
Backbench Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: 'The pathetic truth is that we do not have control over our borders, and these cases quite clearly show that we do not control not only who comes in to the country but who we choose to remove.
Population in the UK will hit 70m even earlier than feared thanks to 'immigrant baby boom'
'My constituents do not want any more mealy-mouthed promises about getting a grip on this – they want to know what the Government is actually going to do.
'Successive governments have given all the promises on immigration you would expect of a second-hand car salesman. Ministers now need to start actually delivering on real promises and real control over our borders.'
Fury: Tory backbencher Douglas Carswell, left, and UKIP MEP Gerard Batten have slammed the Government over its refusal to act to secure the UK's borders in the face of EU human rights law
UK Independence Party MEP Gerard Batten said: 'It is the absolute duty of the British Government to protect the lives and property of British citizens.
'If foreign nationals prey on people here they should be sent home to where they came from – no ifs, no buts.'
He added: 'For the European Court of Human Rights to give Britain orders is bad enough; knowing that the Government will roll over to their demands is worse.
'This decision confirms that the Human Rights Act is a criminals' charter.'
The case involves two Somalis whom ministers intended to return to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, because of their serial offending.
Abdisamad Adow Sufi, 24, entered the country illegally in 2003 using a fake passport. He claimed asylum on the grounds that he belonged to a minority clan persecuted by the Somali militia.
His claim was rejected by officials and an appeal tribunal said his account was 'not credible'.
Since then he has amassed a string of convictions for offences including burglary, fraud, making threats to kill, indecent exposure and theft.
The second Somali, drug addict Abdiaziz Ibrahim Elmi, 42, was granted asylum in 1988. Since then he has committed crimes including handling stolen goods, fraud, robbery, carrying a replica gun, perverting the course of justice, theft and dealing heroin and cocaine.
Attempts to deport him began in 2006 and his appeal was rejected by an immigration judge. A deportation order was stayed in 2007 pending the outcome of his Strasbourg case, and since then he has been convicted of possessing Class A drugs and charged with drug dealing.
The panel of seven judges ruled that because the level of violence in Mogadishu was so high there was a real risk of the men coming to harm.
In a unanimous judgment, the court also rejected the argument the men could leave the capital and return to safer parts of the country.
The judges said Sufi could not join his relatives because they lived in an area controlled by a strict Islamic group. If returned, he could face punishment according to their code – also a breach of his rights.
He would also be particularly vulnerable if forced to live in a refugee camp because of his 'psychiatric illness', the court said.
Elmi claimed he would be at risk of persecution if he moved to an area controlled by the same group, because he wore an earring, which might lead to them thinking he was gay.
If they found out he was a drug addict and thief he could face amputation, public flogging or execution, he said.
The court ruled he had no experience of living in a strict Islamic area because he has been in this country for so long and would therefore be at risk of harm.
The ruling said: 'The court reiterated that the prohibition of torture and of inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment was absolute, irrespective of the victims' conduct.
'Consequently, the applicants' behaviour, however undesirable or dangerous, could not be taken into account.'
A joke: Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May stand in front of passport control at Heathrow Terminal 5
The case will seriously hamper further attempts by ministers to deport foreign criminals, failed asylum seekers and illegal immigrants back to Somalia. Last year just 35 were kicked out.
Around two thirds of the 214 other cases are thought to involve criminals. Others are failed asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.
A UK Border Agency spokesman said: 'We are very disappointed with the European Court's decision and are considering our legal position.
'This judgment does not stop us continuing to pursue the removal of foreign criminals who commit a serious crime, nor does it find that all Somalis are in need of international protection.'

Banned extremist begins speaking tour – but where are the police?
By JAMES SLACK and NICK FAGGE
On tour: Banned extremist Raed Salah giving one of his firebrand speeches
An Islamic extremist who is supposedly banned from Britain delivered a speech to a packed hall in the Midlands last night.
Raed Salah, who is accused of 'virulent anti-semitism', strolled through immigration checks at Heathrow Airport on Saturday, despite being excluded from the UK by the Home Secretary.
Since then, he has evaded police and border officials to begin a speaking tour in which he was due to share a platform at Westminster today with Left-wing Labour MPs.
Theresa May – determined to be tough on extremists – is furious with blundering UK Border Agency staff who allowed Salah into the country, and wants him removed as quickly as possible.
Yet, to the fury of Jewish groups, Salah was last night able to address a packed hall of 500 British Muslims in Leicester.
The cleric, leader of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, also addressed an audience at Conway Hall, in London, on Monday evening.
Police were said to be trying to hunt him down, but he was not arrested at the event though the power is available to officers if his presence in Britain is considered not to be 'conducive to the public good'.
'9/11 WAS A PLOT BY THE ISRAELIS'
A string of extremist statements have been attributed to Raed Salah, though he denies having said many of them.
He is said to have cast doubt on Osama Bin Laden's culpability for 9/11, suggesting instead the attacks were an Israeli plot and that Jews were warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center on that day.
On homosexuality, Salah reportedly said: 'It is a crime. A great crime. Such phenomena signal the start of the collapse of every society.
'Those who believe in Allah know that behaviour of that kind brings his wrath and is liable to cause the worst things to happen.'
In 2008 he was charged with incitement to violence and racism by a Jerusalem court over a speech in which he invoked what is known as the 'blood libel' – a notorious anti-Semitic slur.
In the speech, delivered in February the previous year, he was said to have accused Jewish people of using children's blood to bake bread.
At the time, Israeli newspapers quoted him as saying: 'We have never allowed ourselves to knead [the dough for] the bread that breaks the fast in the holy month of Ramadan with children's blood. Whoever wants a more thorough explanation, let him ask what used to happen to some children in Europe, whose blood was mixed in with the dough of the [Jewish] holy bread.'
After the speech the 1,000-strong crowd began rioting and throwing stones at police.
Prosecutors claimed the speech was a 'call to commit acts of violence and encouragement of acts of violence' and anti-Semitism. Salah denied the charges, and was not convicted.
He was released from prison in 2005 after serving two years for raising millions of pounds for the Palestinian terror group Hamas and for having contact with an Iranian intelligence agent.
Officials are now waiting to see if a hugely embarrassing appearance at Westminster, originally scheduled to take place alongside three Labour MPs, will go ahead today.
The MPs have been told by party managers they must not share a platform with a man who is banned from the UK. The event has been moved from the Commons to an undisclosed venue.
The involvement of the Labour MPs is a blow to Ed Miliband, limiting his opportunity to make political capital from the fiasco.
Mrs May, who has just launched a new strategy promising to come down hard on extreme views, excluded Salah from travelling to the UK last week.
But last night his spokesman described how he strolled through border checks which were supposed to identify that he was on a list of banned fanatics.
Lubna Masarwa said: 'This is not the first time the sheik has come to the UK. He came on a scheduled flight from Tel Aviv to Heathrow on Saturday June 25.
'He presented his passport. He was asked only a couple of questions about the purpose of his visit.'
The spokesman added: 'He denies all claims that he is anti-Semitic.'
The failures of UKBA and the decision of Labour MPs to share a platform with him provoked fury.
Mark Gardner, on behalf of the Jewish groups the Board of Deputies and the Community Security Trust, said: 'The Jewish community will be dismayed by the apparent failure to prevent Raed Salah's entry to the UK.
'We deplore those MPs and other public figures who promote this man and thereby undermine the Government's anti-extremism efforts.'
Conservative MP Mike Freer, who accused Salah of 'virulent anti-Semitism' earlier this week, said: 'The UK Border Agency has made a very serious error in letting this man walk through passport control.'
Yvette Cooper, Shadow Home Secretary said: 'The Government's rhetoric of being tough on border controls has just been exposed as an incompetent sham.'
His friends on the Left
ANALYSIS By JAMES SLACK
While the Raed Salah shambles is a bitter blow to the UK Border Agency, it is also a huge embarrassment for the Labour Party, three of whose MPs were planning to share a platform with the fanatic.
The trio led by Jeremy Corbyn, one of the party's most Left-wing MPs, were intending to speak alongside Salah at a House of Commons debate today.
Richard Burden, a former union activist, and Yasmin Qureshi, Labour's first Muslim woman MP, were also due to participate.
Salah's friends on the left: From left, Labour MPs Jeremy Corbyn, Richard Burden and Yasmin Qureshi
The event, which has now been banned by the Commons authorities, was being hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, whose patrons include Labour MP John Austin, Mr Corbyn, Tony Benn, and ex-union baron Rodney Bickerstaffe. Bob Crow, the arch-Left leader of the RMT, is also a member. In other words, it is an organisation dominated by Labour and union figures.
Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League said: 'It is disturbing that anyone would give an audience or even a modicum of credibility to Raed Salah, an extremist who has a long history of anti-Semitism and inciting violence against Jews.
Embarrassment: Labour leader Ed Miliband will have difficulty giving the Government a hard time over letting in a banned cleric welcomed by his MPs
'Anyone seriously interested in his opinions on peace in the Middle East is either ignorant of who Salah is or, worse, condones his anti-Semitism.'
Jennifer Gerber, director of Labour Friends of Israel, told the Jewish Chronicle: 'In inviting an individual who reportedly repeated blood libel claims, it seems the PSC, and the MPs sharing a platform with him, regard these views as acceptable.'
Mainstream Labour MPs were horrified, while the MPs involved are understood to have been told by party managers they must not share a platform with Salah.
Ed Miliband, whose father fled to Britain in 1940 to avoid persecution by the Nazis, will now find it harder to attack the Government over the fiasco.
For the UK Border Agency to have failed to spot a known fanatic whom the Home Secretary had banned from Britain only two or three days previously is the height of farce.
However, should Mr Miliband seek to taunt David Cameron over the blunder, he can expect the reply to be short and to the point: Your MPs wanted him here!

Nothing in England will surprise me anymore. It won't be long before they remove the red cross from their flag. I am sure it must be offensive to many people over there. 🙁 Oh well, William and Kate will soon be touring Canada. Things are looking up.

And those islamic politicians in Britain who pose a threat to our disadvantaged nonbelievers human rights, are not only imposing their islamic culture but also in reality are contributing to the horrible islamisation of Britain which would make western countries such as Britain even more unbearable for us disadvantaged nonbelievers who are natives of decent western culture, western freedom and decent western way of life.

An if they remove the red cross of St. George from the English flag, they would be left with just a plain white, unmarked one. How fitting.

One of the arguments that the European judges may have considered, is that deporting these dangerous Somali criminals back to Somalia, would make Somalia even more dangerous.

My rather eclectic academic background is in the fields of Sociology, Theology and Religious Studies, and Comparative Literature. I received my Ph.D. in Political and Social Sciences from UCLouvain (Belgium) and a doctorate in Theology from KU Leuven (Belgium). For the last six years, my research has focused on the intersections of religion, conflict, and collective memory, primarily in Bosnia and Herzegovina. My project at AHDA, entitled Divided Bridges, aims at (re)discovering peacebuilding potentials in the major religious traditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Religions understand themselves as bridges between people, spiritually grounded instruments of peace. The project is envisaged as a combination of a website, workshops, and public talks. It aspires to provide a platform for open and inclusive discussions about the social role of religion. Far from being apologetic or oblivious towards past crimes, it desires to address "difficult history" in a direct yet responsible way. By engaging in the concrete theological and spiritual heritage of local religious traditions, while remaining conscious of the history of religiously inspired violence, the project aims to develop strong and resilient networks of peace-oriented citizens.

"This does not have to be a relationship that is frozen in time, an Obama administration official has told the Times' Ernesto Londoño.
The kicker, as the Guardian's Dan Roberts (@robertsdan) learned from a senior official, is that Fidel Castro was not involved in the negotiations.
Alan Gross has returned to US soil after about five years in a Cuban prison, CBS' Charlie Kaye and wires report.
US's "new course on Cuba"
The Obama administration has released a factsheet on its new policies, which you can read in its comprehensive entirety at this link here. For a much briefer version check out the summary below.
Re-establish diplomatic relations severed in 1961.
Restore a Havana embassy for "high-level exchanges", including about US-Cuba migration.
Have talks with Cuba about issues such as migration, human rights, trafficking and counternarcotics; "engagement will be critical when appropriate".
Departments of Treasury and Commerce will change their policies.
Travel policies will "increase people-to-people contact" – ie relaxed travel.
Remittance policies will "enhance the free flow of information" – ie telecoms and internet should have more freedom to operate in Cuba.
Expanded rules for travel, including more widely available visas for family, government employees, journalists, researchers, religious groups, humanitarian groups, import/export employees and others.
More goods will be authorized for export, such as building materials and agricultural equipment.
Licensed Americans will be allowed to import $400 worth of goods, but no more than $100 of tobacco products and alcohol combined – yes that means cigars.
The US and Cuba will try to clear up the unresolved maritime boundary in the Gulf of Mexico, and will include Mexico in the talks.
President Obama has told secretary of state John Kerry to review Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, which has been its status since 1982.
The US will not oppose Cuba's participation in the 2015 Summit of the Americas.
A quick look at the key developments so far.
Cuba has released American Alan Gross from prison after nearly five years of captivity following his arrest on suspicion of espionage.
The US will return three Cubans convicted of spying in 2001, members of the so-called Cuban Five and Wasp Network.
President Barack Obama will deliver remarks at 12pm ET that overhaul US-Cuba relations after decades of estrangement and embargo. Senior administration officials have said he will restore diplomatic relations and a Havana embassy, as well as ease travel and telecom restrictions.
President Raul Castro will give a simultaneous speech on Cuban TV at 12pm ET. Cuba has relaxed its strict economic policies and quietly cooperated with the US in backroom talks over the past year or so.
Alan Gross will deliver a statement at 1.30pm ET, alongside members of Congress who flew to Cuba to retrieve him. His health is in dire condition, his family and lawyer have said.
Members of Congress have lashed out at the president for "vindicating a dictator", and have signaled they will oppose any attempt to lift the economic embargo that has handicapped Cuba for decades. Obama requires Congress' approval to lift fully the embargo.
The Guardian's Dan Roberts continues to provide backroom details of how negotiations developed – with an assist from Pope Francis.
Obama does have some congressional support – high profile members of Congress are reportedly on board the flight with Gross, and some Democrats have been urging these changes for some time.
Washington watchers are starting to gauge the wider ramifications of Obama's foreign policy moves in the past few years.
Cubans in Havana reacting with happiness tempered by skepticism, Jonathan Watts reports for the Guardian.
Cubans are still waiting for confirmation from their government. Many have yet to hear the news.
Frank Reyes, a teacher in Havana, was surprised and pleased to hear about the release when contacted by the Guardian.
As we talked, he switched to the Telesur TV channel, where a flash came up on the screen "Cuba frees Alan Gross" and a reporter said this could be a step towards the lifting of the embargo.
Republicans will not be alone in their anger at the president – some Democrats are towing an almost identical line.
Obama needs Congress to make major changes to the embargo; otherwise his actions will be limited to areas of travel, some trade and points around the edges. The total could still be significant, but the embargo itself would stay in place.
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a Republican from Florida and critic of the Obama administration – and a politician considering a run for president in 2016, has launched into a tirade against the president on Fox News.
Rubio criticizes the administration for not getting Cuba to concede political points, like free elections.
The release of Gross and apparently sweeping changes in US-Cuban relations come after months of quiet backroom talks and tacit cooperation.
CBS's Margaret Brennan points out that rapprochement has been in the works on some level for over a year.
The turn toward mending old bridges also follows a string of editorials in the New York Times, dating as far back as a 2012 entry titled "Release Alan Gross".
Mr. Obama should seize this opportunity to end a long era of enmity and help a population that has suffered enormously since Washington ended diplomatic relations in 1961, two years after Fidel Castro assumed power.
Cuba is building a seaport, a major project that will be economically viable only if American sanctions are lifted.

Q: Energy change when heating a substance When a substance is heated but not changing its phase, is the potential energy between the particles constituting the substance also increasing, or is it only the random kinetic energy of particles that increases?

A: The potential energy between the particles constituting the substance basically depends on the average distance between particles and the nature of the interaction (ionic, dipole-dipole, etc.). For many systems, this variation is orders of magnitude smaller than the increase of the kinetic energy of particles for many systems.
However, indeed, thermal dilatation might change the average distance between particles. Temperature increase might favor disorientation of electric dipoles, contributing to the increase of the potential energy of the arrangement. In this sense, you are right.

Indian Psyche – At its Bottom
by IPC in Contemporary India, Contemporary World Tags: Dr. David Frawley, Indian Psyche, Indians psyche at its bottom
By: Dr. David Frawley ( An American from New Mexico, U.S.A.)
A defeatist tendency exists in the psyche of modern Indians perhaps unparalleled in any other country today. An inner conflict bordering on a civil war rages in the minds of the country's elite. The main effort of its cultural leaders appears to be to pull the country down or remake it in a foreign image, as if little Indian and certainly nothing Hindu was worthy of preserving or even reforming.
The elite of India suffers from a fundamental alienation from the traditions and culture of the land that would not be less poignant had they been born and raised in a hostile country. The ruling elite appears to be little more than a native incarnation of the old colonial rulers who haughtily lived in their separate cantonments, neither mingling with the people nor seeking to understand their customs. This new English-speaking aristocracy prides itself in being disconnected from the very soil and people that gave it birth.
There is probably no other country where It has become a national pastime among its educated class to denigrate its own culture and history, however great that has been over the many millennia of its existence. When great archaeological discoveries of India's past are found, for example, they are not a subject for national pride but are ridiculed as an exaggeration, if not an invention, as if they represent only the imagination of backward chauvinistic elements within the culture.
There is probably no other country where the majority religion, however enlightened, mystical or spiritual, is ridiculed, while minority religions, however fundamentalist or even militant, are doted upon. The majority religion and its institutions are taxed and regulated while minority religions receive tax benefits and have no regulation or even monitoring. While the majority religion is carefully monitored and limited as to what it can teach, minority religions can teach what they want, even if anti-national or backward in nature. Books are banned that offend minority religious sentiments but praised if they cast insults on majority beliefs.
There is probably no other country where regional, caste and family loyalties are more important than the national interest, even among those who claim to be democratic, socialist or caste reformers. Political parties exist not to promote a national agenda but to sustain one region or group of people in the country at the expense of the whole. Each group wants as big a piece of the national pie as it can get, not realizing that the advantages it gains mean deprivation for other groups. Yet when those who were previously deprived gain power, they too seek the same unequal advantages that causes further inequality and discontent.
India's affirmative action code is by far the most extreme in the world, trying to raise up certain segments of the population regardless of merit, and prevent others from gaining positions however qualified they may be. In the guise of removing caste, a new casteism has arisen where one's caste is more important than one's qualifications either in gaining entrance into a school or in finding a job when one graduates. Anti-Brahminism has often become the most virulent form of castist thinking. People view the government not as their own creation but as a welfare state from which they should take the maximum personal benefit, regardless of the consequences for the country as a whole.
Outside people need not pull Indians down – Indians are already quite busy keeping any of their people and the country as a whole from rising up. They would rather see their neighbours or the nation fail if they are not given the top position. It is only outside of India that Indians succeed, often remarkably well, because their native talents are not stifled by the dominant cultural self-negativity and rabid divisiveness that exists in the country today.
Political parties in India see gaining power as a means of amassing personal wealth and robbing the nation. Political leaders include gangsters, charlatans and buffoons who would stop short at nothing to gain power for themselves and their coteries. Even so-called modern or liberal parties resemble more the courts of kings, where personal loyalty is more important than any democratic participation. Once they gain power politicians routinely do little but cheat the people for their own advantage. Even honest politicians find that they cannot function without some deference to the more numerous corrupt leaders who often have a stranglehold on the bureaucracy.
Politicians divide the country into warring vote banks and place one community against another. They offer favors to communities, like bribes to make sure that they are elected, or stay in power. They campaign on slogans that appeal to community fears and suspicions rather than create any national consensus or harmony.They hold power based upon blame and hatred rather than on any positive programs for social change. They inflame the uneducated masses with propaganda rather than work to make people aware of real social problems like overpopulation, poor infrastructure or lack of education.
Should a decent government come to power the opposition pursues pulling it down as its main goal, so that they can gain power for themselves. The idea of a constructive or supportive opposition is hard to find. The goal is to gain power for oneself and to not allow anyone else to succeed.
To further their ambitions, Indian politicians will manipulate the foreign press to denigrate their opponents, even if it means spreading lies and rumors and making the country an anathema in the eyes of the outside world. Petty conflicts in India are blown out of proportion in the foreign media, not by foreign journalists but by Indians seeking to use the media to score points against their own opponents in the country. The Indians who are responsible for the news of India in the foreign press spread venom and distortion about their own country, perhaps better than any foreigner who dislikes the culture ever could.
The killing of one Christian missionary becomes a national media event of anti-Christian attacks while the murder of hundreds of Hindus is taken casually without any real importance, as if only the deaths of white-skinned people matter, not the slaughter of the natives. Missionary aggression is extolled as social upliftment, while Hindu efforts at self -defense against the conversion onslaught are portrayed as rabid fundamentalism. One Indian journalist even lamented that western armies would not come to India to chastise the political groups he was opposed to, as if he was still looking for the colonial powers to save him!
Let us look at the type of leaders that India has had, with it's Laloo Prasad Yadav (ex CM Bihar), Mulayam Singh Yadav (ex CM UP) or Jayalalita to mention but a few. Such individuals are little more than warlords who surround themselves with sycophants.
Modern Indian politicians appear more like colonial rulers looting their own country, following a divide and rule policy, to keep the people so weak that their power cannot be challenged.
Corruption exists almost everywhere and bribery is the main way to do business in nearly all fields. India has an entrenched bureaucracy that resists change and stifles development, just out of sheer obstinacy and not wanting to give up any control.
The Congress Party, the oldest in this predominantly Hindu nation, had given its leadership to an Italian Catholic woman simply because as the widow of the last Gandhi prime minister, she carried the family torch, as if family loyalty were still the main basis of political credibility in the country. And such a leader and a party are deemed progressive!
The strange thing is that India is not a banana republic of recent vintage but one of the oldest and most venerable civilizations in the world. Its culture is not trumpeting a militant and fundamentalist religion trying to conquer the world for the one true faith but represents a vaster and more cosmic vision. India has given birth to the main religions that have dominated East Asia historically, the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh, which are noted for tolerance and spirituality.
It has produced Sanskrit, perhaps the world's greatest language.
It has given us the incredible spiritual systems of Yoga and its great traditions of meditation and self-realization.
As the world looks forward to a more universal model of spirituality and a world view defined by consciousness rather than by religious dogma these traditions are perhaps the most important legacy to draw upon for creating a future enlightened civilization.
The irony is that rather than embracing its own great traditions, the modern Indian psyche prefers to slavishly imitate worn out trends in western intellectual thought like Marxism or even to write apologetics for Christian and Islamic missionary aggression. Though living in India, in proximity to temples, yogis and great festivals, most modern Indian intellectuals are oblivious to the soul of the land. They might as well be living in England or China for all they know of their own country.
"They are isolated in their own alien ideas as if in a tower of iron. If they choose to rediscover India, it is more likely to occur by reading the books of western travelers visiting the country, rather than by their own direct experience of the people around them."

The biggest mistake was to declare India as a democratic republic right from Day one after independence. A hochpoch mass of land with a huge population who speak at least twenty to thirty completely different languages who fought against each other instigated by foreign rulers over a long period of subjugation, and who hardly see eye to eye with each other should have been kept under some kind of disciplinarian rule for a minimum length of period before giving it the luxury of democracy and during this period this bursting-through-the-seam population should have been properly educated. And by education I don't mean producing BA's/BSc's/BE's/MBBS's etc – what I mean is real education to build up a national mindset amongst the total population so that they can realize from their heart of hearts that if India surges ahead so will they. No point crying over spilled milk – even now we can think of some fundamental changes like total overhauling of the education curriculum, making quasi-military training compulsory for all young boys and girls, etc, etc , a list of do's that was given a complete go-by by the British stooges that were left behind by the British to rule over the India sucked dry by themselves. But will it ever happen – tough in the present situation.
Indians have been slaves for running into centuries and human mind reconciles itself to the conditions imposed by the masters. The first and foremost of these slave mentalities that becomes a part of the personality of such slave population is: Loss of self esteem; a condition of subconscious mind that is reflected in one's habits that says: I am fool; I am without any merit; I have to learn by copying. India is like that since 1947. Subhash Chandra Bose had sensed this weakness and had planned to introduce in India a brief spell of hard and disciplined life that is called dictatorship. Even now – after 70 years – the only remedy is that very medicine. Unless you possess the self esteem, you do not deserve to be free; in mind you are slave and the power to take decisions effecting collective life should not be given to you – TILL YOU REGAIN YOUR SELF ESTEEM.


Cloud computing modified the world around us. currently, individuals are moving their information to the cloud since information is obtaining larger and needs to be accessible from several devices. Therefore, storing the information in the cloud becomes a norm. However, there are several problems that counter information hold on within the cloud starting from the virtual machine that is supposed to share resources within the cloud and ending on cloud storage itself problems. during this paper, we tend to gift those problems that are preventing individuals from adopting the cloud and provides a survey of solutions that are done to reduce risks of those problems. for instance, the information held on within the cloud must be confidential, protecting the integrity and obtainable.Moreover, sharing the information held on within the cloud among several users continues to be a problem since the cloud service supplier is entrust to manage authentication and authorization. during this paper, we tend to list problems associated with information held on in cloud storage and solutions to those problems that disagree from different papers that concentrate on the cloud as general.

One of the best-edited boutiques I've ever found. It's impossible for me to walk into this store and not buy anything. I shop so much here the owner ended up carrying Saffron James Parfums and putting in a fragrance bar.
As soon as I walked into this boutique, I knew I had to meet the owner. The eclectic, must-have feather hair accessories by Kittin Hawk and the giant tub of my favorite Claus Porto soaps only confirmed our impending friendship. When I need a gift, this is the only place I go.
This little shop in Cole Valley is stuffed with products that are necessary to my survival, like René Furterer's ever-elusive shampoos.
Hidden in the middle of the Presidio, it's impossible to find (even if you know where you are going). You walk through the doors of this old military building and you gasp (just a little) because suddenly you're standing in the middle of a stunning, modern day spa. Do yourself a favor and get the hot-stone massage.
It's one of those places that give those magic pedicures that somehow last for weeks.

British actress best known for playing Shireen Baratheon in the TV series Game Of Thrones. On her twitter in 2014 she mentioned her height saying: "Made it to 5ft :D #NoLongerCountedAsAMidget". This photo (by Giles) was at a 2014 collectormania event, she is 15 and a half here. In 2016 she said on her ask.fm page: "No one likes high heels, they are shoes made by Satan which i tolerate simply because I am 5ft 1 ... They last about 20 minutes before I swap them for a pair of nikes"
I have no doubt that Kerry's nowadays height is in excess of 5'1" - even more with her pair of Nikes on!
I agree with the comments that AGED just 15 and a half, she is likely to have more growing to do! She doesn't look mature in the face either - certainly not the look of someone fully grown! Now she is three years older than in the picture, so I will agree that 5ft1 or a touch more, is distinctly possible.
I will go for a neat 5ft1!
Looks around about 1.5 inches above your chin, listing seems spot on...though you look like you might be dropping a tiny bit more posture.
The girl is 15 and undoubtedly not fully grown now.


The meeting of top leaders of four parties has ended inconclusively. At a time when Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN) has been demanding the constitution amendment prior to the election process, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba called up leaders of Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, CPN (Maoist Center) and Madhesi People's Right Forum- Democratic (MPRF-D) for the meeting.
June 14, 2017, 8:09 a.m.
While emerging out from the meeting, Nepali Congress leader Ram Chandra Poudel said that the meeting is focused on to convince Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN) in the upcoming second phase of local level elections instead of postponing the elections.
Talking with the media persons after the meeting, CPN-UML chairperson KP Sharma Oli claimed that the government has indirectly proposed to postpone the second phase of the election for the fourth time.
Reiterating the party's stand, CPN-UML, however, has rejected the proposal, said Oli. Chair Oli added that the ruling coalition is not confident about holding the election on slated date June 28.
However, the demand of RJPN for the amendment of the constitution is not possible before the election, said Pun, adding that the four parties will consider the other technical demands of RJPN to ensure their involvement in the election.
Prime Minister Deuba called the meeting of the top leaders to discuss about the recent political situation after the RJPN decided to boycott and disrupt the second phase of the local level election.

Sticker art (also known as sticker bombing, sticker slapping, slap tagging, and sticker tagging) is a form of street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise a subcategory of Graffiti.
Stickers can be placed anywhere accessible, with a much lower risk of apprehension by officials enforcing anti–vandalism or Animal Rights laws.
Sticker artists use a variety of label types, including inexpensively purchased and free stickers, such as the United States Postal Service's Label 228 or name tags. Label 228's are often used with hand-drawn art, and are quite hard to remove, leaving a white, sticky residue.
Sticker artists can design and print thousands of stickers at low cost using a commercial printing service or at home with a computer printer and self-adhesive labels.
Sticker art is a popular processing method to create artworks with a 3D effect. The artist cuts vinyl sheets and foam board components with a scalpel. With this components the artist glues a sticker art collage.

Conviviality auditors could face the wrath of accountancy watchdog
| 30 March, 2018
The accountancy watchdog could probe Conviviality after the chairman of the parliamentary work and pensions committee called for an investigation into the "mess" that paralysed the firm.
The Bargain Booze, Wine Rack, Matthew Clark and Bibendum owner will slip into administration within nine working days after a string of financial mishaps, oversights and errors.
Frank Field MP said Conviviality's auditor, KPMG, must answer questions for failing to flag accounting errors that contributed to the group's imminent demise.
"This is a mess," he said. "Increasingly these audit reports aren't worth the paper they're written on. The auditors are taking us all for a ride and the sooner the government decide what they're going to do about it the better."
The firm's 2,500-plus employees now fear for their livelihoods, along with 370 franchisees and those that work in their stores.
Some Bargain Booze store managers and owners are desperately scrabbling for drinks to fill their shelves ahead of the Easter rush, while other shops are simply closed.
Bargain Booze Tweeted yesterday to say that many stores were open for business and urged shoppers to visit their local outlet.
But it was met with scorn by staff member Carole Flannigan, who said: "What's the point of being open? We have hardly any stock. Thanks a lot, 17 years I've worked for you and we mean jack shit to you."
However, franchisee Paul Stephenson, who has stores in Barrow, struck a more upbeat note. "It is business as usual for us and jobs are not at risk. I can say 100 per cent there will be no job losses at all in my stores," he said.
"With it being a franchise that's where we get our stock from but it doesn't have any reflection on us other than that. We could set up alternative support, and Conviviality have been trying tirelessly to sort it out for us.
"Conviviality has not gone into administration, and there is a lot of interest with regards to a buyout."
The on-trade supply chain has been plunged into chaos as some producers have put stop orders on Matthew Clark and Bibendum, which supply 23,000 outlets, and pubs and bars have been drawing up contingency plans.
"We are hoping that the company can sort it out as they have been a good supplier to us for 20 years," said Wetherspoons.
Rumours are flying around that a brewer or cidermaker like AB Inbev, Heineken or Magners supplier C&C could end up purchasing Matthew Clark, while the grocers and the symbol groups like Spar and Costcutter are in the running to take on Bargain Booze and Wine Rack.
Rival suppliers to Conviviality are divided into two groups: some, like Hills Prospect and Lanchester, have sensed an opportunity to pick up new clients and are touting their wares, arguing that businesses need supply during this crucial trading period, while the rest are warning that now is not the time to stick the knife into Conviviality.
Several heated rows have been taking place across social media regarding this issue, and they look set to rage on as uncertainty grips the industry.
Independent wine merchants also sense an opportunity to supply local pubs, bars and restaurants.
"Are you pub or restaurant struggling for wine supply thanks to the collapse of Conviviality?" said Yorkshire wine merchant Sean Welsh. "Then your local independent wine merchant can probably help."

TI: Bangladesh 162/180
[Dhaka Correspondent] Bangladesh's position has remained steady in terms of integrity as it ranked 162 among 180 countries in the corruption perceptions index (CPI) 2007, Transparency International said Wednesday.
Bangladesh scored 2.0 points, the same as it did in 2006, on a scale of 10 points. Countries with a score below 3 are described by TI as being "highly corrupt". Bangladesh, which was placed in the rank No. 3 in 2006, finished seventh from below in 2007.
Bangladesh has remained steady at 2.0 score, showing improved performance compared with nine countries that had earlier scored better, the Bangladesh chapter of the international watchdog said in a statement.
"While most low-scoring countries continued a downward trend and even many high-ranking countries received lower scores in 2007, Bangladesh was successful in resisting this," the statement said.
The country's rank at 162 on CPI is also shared by Cambodia, Central African Republic, Papua New Guinea, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. The Berlin-based international anticorruption watchdog released the CPI 2007 report Wednesday across the world. The index ranks countries in terms of perceived degree of prevalence of political and administrative corruption.
Transparency International, Bangladesh (TIB) provided the index report at a press briefing at the National Press Club. TIB Chairman Professor Muzaffer Ahmad and Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman were present.
Denmark, Finland and New Zealand are the least corrupt countries, which jointly top the list with integrity index of 9.4 points each, with 10 being the least corrupt. Singapore topped the list of the less corrupt among the Asian countries, scoring 9.3 alongside Sweden.
Somalia and Myanmar have become the most corrupt nations as they are at the bottom of the list, followed by Iraq and Haiti. Uzbekistan and Tonga are jointly in the fourth position followed by Sudan, Chad and Afghanistan in the fifth. Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Laos and Guinea have ranked sixth most corrupt countries.

Q: Regex to add quotes around hyphenated strings I want to add quotes around all hyphenated words in a string.
With an example string, the desired function add_quotes() should perform like this:
>>> s = '{name = first-name}'
>>> add_quotes(s)
{name = "first-name"}

I know how to find all occurances of hyphenated works using this Regex selector, but don't know how to add quotes around each of those occurances in the original string.
>>> import re
>>> s = '{name = first-name}'
>>> re.findall(r'\w+(?:-\w+)+', s)
['first-name']

A: Regex can be used to do this with Python Module re from the standard library.
import re

def add_quotes(s):
    return re.sub(r'\w+(?:-\w+)+', r'"\g<0>"', s)

s = '{name = first-name}'
add_quotes(s)  # returns '{name = "first-name"}'

where the occurances of hyphenated words are found using this selector.

Workshop entitled "EU-Armenia Strategic Policy Dialogue within the scope of reforms in the justice sector of the Republic of Armenia"
Today, a workshop devoted to the EU-Armenia Strategic Policy Dialogue was held in Yerevan under the title "Reforms in the justice sector of the Republic of Armenia". During the workshop, priority issues in the justice sector requiring prompt solutions were identified. Among the participants of the workshop were Minister of Justice of the Republic of Armenia Artak Zeynalyan; Head of Unit Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus and Eastern Partnership of the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations of the European Commission Vassilis Maragos; Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Armenia, Ambassador Piotr Świtalski, as well as representatives from the Supreme Judicial Council, the Academy of Justice, the Office of the Human Rights Defender, the Ministry of Economic Development and Investments and representatives from the civil society organisations.
Minister Zeynalyan attached importance to the draft Strategy for Judicial and Legal Reforms in the Republic of Armenia and the Action Plan deriving therefrom, which will serve as a basis for further co-operation between the Republic of Armenia and the European Union. It is expected that the Government will adopt the draft Strategy and the Action Plan by the end of 2018. Minister Zeynalyan emphasised the invaluable support of the EU to the justice sector of the Republic of Armenia and attached importance to the ensuring of continuity of the partnership.
Ambassador Świtalski stressed once again that the European Union was willing to assist the Government of the Republic of Armenia in implementing the reforms in the justice sector and in combating corruption. The launch of the multilateral
EU-Armenia political dialogue regarding the reforms in the justice sector will assist the authorities of the Republic of Armenia in implementing the reforms in the overall structure and activities of the sector, which will lead, in its turn, to effective management of the justice sector in accordance with the obligations assumed by the Republic of Armenia within the scope of the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA), as well as taking into account the sector-specific needs and financial capacities.
Vassilis Maragos noted that the political dialogue on the reforms in the justice sector would facilitate the process of implementation of the Action Plan, as well as serve as a guide for making decisions regarding the support of the EU in the future.
The representatives of civil society organisations touched upon the Roadmap for implementation of the EU-Armenia CEPA in the justice sector and rule of law. All the stakeholders attached importance to the co-operation with civil society organisations in terms of implementing reforms in the justice sector.


In the long and storied tradition of Good Cards Growing Legs, we have a 2/3 Crucible for 2G.
Seems pretty clearly Vintage playable. Noble Fish 2.0, anyone?
Pretty cool card. A 2/3 body for 3 isn't great, but in corner cases a Crucible that attacks is pretty good. I'd say that this is easier to remove, but these days there is the same, if not more, artifact removal instead of creature removal. Being a Naga Cleric doesn't help Cavern decks, so I hesitate to see a good fit right away. Noble Fish probably just would prefer jamming True-Name at the 3 drop spot instead of this.
I can't really see a deck wanting to play a harder-to-cast Crucible that dies to every piece of creature removal in the format but it's pretty cool. Is it an upgrade over Renegade Rallier?
@thecravenone There's no comparison. Rallier recovers one land when it enters the battlefield, and then only if you have Revolt.
Crucible lets you lock out your opponents with Stripe Mine and Wasteland, and incidentally lets you fetch out lands every turn. That's what this Naga does.
I query whether this card finally makes Green Sun's Zenith make a serious dent in Vintage.
Can we think of any time a Vintage-playable effect got legs and was worse? Seems to me every time they do this the effect gets better.
Magus of the Jar? Magus of the Bazaar? Magus of the Moat? Magus of the Abyss? Magus of the Library? Magus of the Tabernacle? Magus of the Wheel? Magus of the Will?
I dig this card. My first thought is BUG Fish, which already occasionally runs Crucible of Worlds.
Someone suggested Green Sun's Zenith which is a nice synergy, as well.
I mean... yeah, but... some of those did not JUST grow legs, they also got material drawbacks. Abyss kills itself. Wheel and Tabernacle and Bazaar and Will all cost more.
The best counterexamples are probably Jar and Moat. With Jar, I guess the analogy is whether Tinker/Shops are so critical to Crucible that it's not good without them in the same way that Memory Jar owes much of its existence to those cards. I'm not sure that one is fair either.
Rallier gets back one land or something else good so I think they're at least in similar slots.
Magus of the Moat was in Brian Kelly's Championship sideboard.
@The-Atog-Lord Magus of the Moat definitely has some advantages over Moat – and I really like it in Brian's list – but not enough that you see more Moats than Maguses in general. For the purposes of this thread, I think it's true that "adding legs doesn't ALWAYS make an effect better."
I think the differences are largely explored in vintage. Attacking and blocking is awesome, but it's easier to kill creatures than it is to kill artifacts (usually, depends on the matchup). Blood Moon/Magus of the Moon is often a tossup, I think.
This makes the bicycle lands look a lot more interesting.
@desolutionist Could this card be great with Thalia?
Minus points for creativity, but man this card is so good for GW hatebears. Now they just need to print Null Rod on legs.
It is not uncommon to run two different creature types in a Cavern of Souls deck. I would want to try it in a Human-Cleric build. I think it looks strong enough to justify to test in a build a build like that with 4x Wasteland, 1x Strip Mine and then 2-4x Qhost Quarter, but only testing will tell if it is strong enough of course.
Many of the White Wheenie decks I have been playing you would name Cleric anyway if you had a Leonin Relic-Warder on hand along with various humans that were also Clerics in addition to Humans.
It's "easier" to remove than Crucible, but being a creature has some advantages too I suppose? Green Sun's Zenith seems interesting and it plays nice with Thorn effects. This is far from my type of card (:D) but I'm sure it's at least fringe-playable.
There are very obvious problems with the deck, such as how little it chooses to disrupt the opponent. The original list had Starlit Sanctum in place of Wasteland, but a swap was made in order to include Ramunap Excavator. In the end, playing up the Ghost Quarter/Leonin Arbiter package that is used in Modern with Ramunap Excavator (and fewer colors) may be a much better starting point. However, very few decks in Vintage can deal with infinite life, so every Cleric that comes along is something I always take a second look at.

Маах (също изписван на гръцки: Μαχές, Μιχός, Μίυσις, Μίος или Μάιχες) е древноегипетски бог на войната с глава на лъв, чието име означава "този, който е верен до нея". Считан е за син на бога-творец Птах и на котешката богиня (Баст в Долен Египет или Сехмет в Горен Египет), чиято природа споделя. Маах е божество, свързано с войната, защитата и времето, а също така и с ножовете, лотосите и поглъщащите пленници. Неговият култ е съсредоточен в Тарему и Пер-Баст, култовите центрове съответно на Сехмет и Баст.

Име
Името на Маах започва с йероглифите за лъв, въпреки че само по себе си означава също и "този, който може да вижда напред". Някои от титлите на Маах са "Властелинът на клането", "Повелителят на ножа" и "Аленият господар".

Произход
Първото записано споменаване на Маах е от Новото царство. Някои египтолози предполагат, че Маах е от чужд произход; има известни доказателства, че той може да е идентичен с бога-лъв Апедемак, почитан в Нубия и западната пустиня на Египет.

Маах е считан за син на Ра и на котешката богиня Баст или на Сехмет. Понякога е идентифициран с друг син на Сехмет, Нефертум. Според легендата Маах се е борил с главния враг на Ра, змията Апофис, по време на нощното пътуване на Ра.

Поради мощта, която притежавали, котешките божества са свързвани с фараоните и така станали покровители на Египет. Йероглифът за лъв е използван в думи като "принц", "сила" и "мощ".

Маах е изобразяван като мъж с глава на лъв, понякога държащ нож и букет от лотосови цветя като препратка към връзката му с Нефертум, чийто символ е лотосът.

Свещени животни
Укротени лъвове са били държани в храм, посветен на Маах в Тарему, където е почитана Баст/Сехмет, като неговият храм е бил в съседство с този на богинята. Древногръцкият историк Елиан пише: "В Египет се покланят на лъвове и има град, наречен на тях. (...) Лъвовете имат храмове и множество пространства, из които да бродят; всеки ден им се доставя месо от волове (...) и лъвовете ядат под съпровода на песни на египетски език." По този начин градът се сдобива със своето гръцкото име Леонтополис.

Thoughts ...
"There were students in the college from several states and some of them very bright. A rivalry soon sprang up as to which would make the best grades in the classwork and monthly examinations. Those who lived here were called "day dodgers" because they attended school only by day. The outsiders boarded at the college and we called them "nighthawks" ... As I now look back upon that period I can see how great an influence that rivalry has had upon the years that have followed. It put "pep" in me, gave me confidence in myself and convinced me I could win if I tried hard enough. I formed habits that have remained with me and have been potent factors in making the subject of this book possible."
"Making Money With a Country Newspaper", W.W. Graves, 1926
By the time W.W. Graves wrote "Making Money With a Country Newspaper" he was pretty successful. The small book was his way of explaining to other struggling businessmen how he became successful after a very modest start. Graves credits his success to three things:
An ability to recognize and seize opportunities,
his failures and the lessons he learned from those failures,
the sense of competitiveness, confidence and the work habits he acquired from the home-town Jesuit College, St. Francis Institute.
It is also apparent from studying his life he was not adverse to very hard work.
St. Francis and its women's counterpart, St. Ann's Academy had excellent reputations. St. Francis attracted students from several distant states and Old Mexico as well as many local boys. In fact the two school's reputations resulted in many families settling near Osage Mission because of the educational opportunities for their children. St. Francis offered a standard college curriculum of history, geography, mathematics, language, rhetoric, composition and grammar with an emphasis on business. Some of the business classes included; typewriting, shorthand and book keeping. Being a Jesuit college, the top entry of the student report card was Christian Doctrine. I hope Mr. Graves doesn't mind me using one of his report cards as an example. (click image)
The St. Francis Campus.
St. Francis Institution was chartered, by the Jesuits, in May of 1870. The school sat on the grounds of the Osage manual labor schools. Using current landmarks, they occupied the area between St. Francis Catholic Church and the existing St. Paul Schools. The manual labor school structures continued to be used until the new buildings were ready and then they were razed. The campus consisted of four main structures plus a poultry house, ice house and utility sheds. Click on the image at the right to enlarge.
A. The Jesuit Monastery. This was the first of two monasteries built on the lot. It sat on the same location as the existing St. Francis Rectory. It was a three-story stone building with a fourth floor under the gable-roof. It had a 75'x50' footprint with the long dimension going east-to-west. The Sanborn fire maps of the era show some frame construction on the back (north) side but photos of that side are unavailable. It was a large, attractive structure with roof gables higher than the church's gables. In addition to housing the Jesuit priests, part of the building was used as a dormitory for boarding students. Construction of the building was started in October of 1871 and completed in about July of 1873. It was used until 1912 when the Passionists razed it to make room for a more modern monastery.
B. St. Francis Institution. This was the main college school building. It sat about 130' west of the Monastery, or just southeast of the existing high school building. It had a 60'x45' footprint with the long dimension going east-to-west. It was a two-story stone structure with a third story under a mansard roof. Construction was started in early 1872 and it was completed later that year. The building was used until the Jesuits closed the school in 1891. After the St. Ann's Academy burned in 1895 it was used as the girl's department until the Sisters of Loretto left in September of 1896. It was then used as a parish school until it was destroyed by fire in 1921. The present middle-school building succeeded it when it was dedicated in January, 1923.
C. The College Hall. College hall was one of two frame structures on the campus. It was a three-story building with the third floor under a mansard-style roof. At 60'x44' it was similar in size as its stone counterpart. Using current landmarks, the building originally sat near the playground equipment north east of the existing school. During its life College Hall served in three roles for the schools and community. It was initially a second building for the Institute. After departure of the Jesuits it served as a parish school building for some time. When the Passionists began construction of their new monastery in 1912 it was jacked up and moved to a location just east of the church where it served as the parish hall until it was razed in 1961. It is not known when it transitioned from a school to the parish hall. Many of the older residents of St. Paul remember the hall when it was east of the church.
The Infirmary was moved from east of the church to 325 S. Main.
D. The Infirmary and Guest House - Now the Packard Guest House. The infirmary and guest house is the only building left from the St. Francis Institute Campus—but it has moved. It was constructed as a 36'x24' two-story house with the second floor under a mansard-style roof. The building sat immediately north of the Jesuit Monastery. I do not know exactly when it was built but it appears on the fire insurance maps during the period between 1885 and 1892. I also think it served as the medical infirmary and guest quarters for the Institute, St. Ann's and the church itself. When planning for the modern Passionist monastery began it was directly in the footprint of the new building. In about 1912 it was jacked up and moved to its present location at 325 Main. It is now the Packard Guest House.
E. St. Francis Hall. St. Francis Hall was part of the parish school system—not St. Francis Institution. But it does have historical significance and is discussed here. In fact, historian W.W. Graves described it well in "Fr. John Schoenmakers S. J., Apostle to the Osages":
"The first building of any importance, of frame construction, was erected in 1869. It was known for many years as St. Francis, Hall. At first the lower story was used as a library and reading room for the public. The ladies of the parish, in 1869, organized a library society, and held a social in the Mission orchard to obtain funds. There were a number of Osages still living in the locality, and they attended this social along with the whites. The ladies raised $500 in one day with which to purchase books. With these books, they started, during the fall of 1869, what was probably the first-free public library in the state of Kansas. Socials were held annually afterwards to increase the number of books. For fifty years this library continued to be used by the public. At present part of the books are still in use in the St. Francis school library near St. Paul. The building is now part of the Monastery barn." To this I would add that Father Philip Colleton has been credited with starting the library and possibly designing and overseeing construction of St. Francis Hall.
I have not seen actual dimensions of the two story building but in examining doors, windows and window spacing I estimate it at about 25'x 40'. Using current landmarks it would have been in the southwest corner of the St. Francis Church parking lot when used as a school. As noted above, it later became part of the Passionist Monastery barn after it was moved to the general area of Prairie Mission Retirement Village, north of the church.

St. Francis Institution Students?
Some Reference Information:
Photos of boys in front of school* and W.W. Graves' grade cards were scanned by R. Brogan while archiving the Graves-Hopkins collection for Osage Mission-Neosho County Historical Society, 2015. Thanks to Karen Steinbacher for making this collection available to the community.
* A confession. I honestly do not know if those boys were near the St. Francis building or if they were students. The photos were among other St. Francis Institution items, including Mr. Graves grade cards, when I sorted and archived the Graves-Hopkins collection in 2014. But there were seven other photos that fit the category "unidentified." In looking at photos of the St. Francis Institution building and the Jesuit monastery, the large sandstone blocks make sense. It could be the church in the background, but the foundation isn't quite right. Still a very neat period photo that fits the story. There — I came clean and feel better!

* Note: W. W. Graves wrote a lot, but really didn't say much about himself unless you caught his 3rd person reference as "the Journal Man. Making Money With a Country Newspaper is an exception. He talks about himself and it is a pretty revealing look at a man who should be considered a local hero. The book is out of print with little likelihood of being reprinted. It would be a great preservation project for someone willing to do an OCR scan and bring it back to life.

Toyota imagines a pair of mobility "support vehicle" solutions for the elderly and disabled.
Toyota unveiled the first Concept-i car at the CES technology show in January. It runs an artificial-intelligence system that communicates with the driver by "stimulating the five senses." It reads moods and engages in two-way conversations, records them with GPS tags, and uploads everything to a data cloud, not unlike what Apple, Google, and Microsoft do with their voice assistants. This is supposedly so that the car can take control when a driver becomes stressed or ill, or perhaps so it can suggest new roads when a driver is eager for a change of scene.
For the Tokyo auto show, the Concept-i teams up with two small support vehicles, the Ride and the Walk, both of which share a more altruistic purpose of helping the disabled and elderly stay mobile. The two-seat Concept-i Ride is a polished little pebble that's nearly two feet shorter than Toyota's iQ microcar. At 98.4 inches, it's half a foot longer than the Nissan New Mobility Concept, a comically tiny thing in which we zipped around in Manhattan. An EV, the Ride has a projected range of 62 to 93 miles. Its biggest benefit is that hand controls replace the pedals and the steering wheel. The gullwing doors make entering the car easy, and the central front seat slides left or right, depending on which door is opened. Despite its name, the Ride is fully drivable. Automated parking, a self-parking valet feature, and the usual autonomous functions can take over driving tasks entirely, but only when the driver—a keyword Toyota uses repeatedly—chooses to do so. The Ride has loading space for a folded wheelchair, and there's a fold-out passenger seat on the left side.
When the Ride is too large for the final portion of a journey, it's time to break out the Toyota Concept-i Walk. Unlike the gyroscopic Segway, which requires riders to lean every which way, Toyota mixes a conventional trike layout with an extendable wheelbase. Standing still, the Walk needs only the walking space of an average adult to make a complete turn. At higher speeds, the Walk spaces its rear wheels further from the front wheel for a more stable ride, varying the overall length from 19.7 to 27.6 inches. The Walk is also designed to be actively driven, although after a warning it will automatically intervene to avoid sidewalk collisions.
All three Concept-i vehicles use what Toyota calls AI Agent, an always-listening, all-knowing system that attempts to gauge human emotions. The outcome isn't just to amass "big data," as Toyota explicitly states, but to "enrich the enjoyment of moving" and "deliver fresh experiences." By 2020, Toyota will start testing some of these features in Japan. After that, it may only be a few more years until an autonomous Camry picks us up from the grocery store, knowing every item in our bags. More than a car, it will be our best friend. We hope.

Горди́й (; конец III века — начало IV века) — христианский мученик. Почитаемый в Православной церкви, пострадал во время правления Ликиния, его память совершается .

Гордий родился в христианской семье в городе Кесарии Каппадокийской. Гордий во взрослом возрасте поступил на военную службу, находясь на ней, он проявил храбрость и воинское искусство. Благодаря этому, был назначен центурионом. Во время гонения на христиан в начале IV века Гордий оставил воинское препоясание, богатство, родственников, друзей, рабов и житейские удобства и удалился в пустыню для того, чтобы приготовить себя к исповеданию имени Христа Спасителя. Около 320 года Гордий открыто выступил перед префектом города в защиту христиан. Его схватили и после страшных истязаний в цирке отсекли голову.

Память святого мученика Гордия совершается 3 января в Предпразднство Богоявления и вместе с памятью святого пророка Божия Малахии. В этот день в январской Минеи служба трёхсоставная, стихиры и тропари канона Предпразднству, пророку и мученику чередуются. Автором канона Гордию является Феофан.

JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia will cut spending and issue more bonds as it faces a record budget shortfall due to falling oil prices, the finance minister said on Sunday.
Following oil prices' drop to below $50 a barrel, the Kingdom has so far relied on its huge fiscal reserves to bridge the gap but Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf said more measures would be necessary, AFP reported.
"We are working... to cut unnecessary expenditure," Al-Assaf told Dubai-based CNBC Arabia in an interview in Washington.
"There are some projects like the ones that have been approved a few years ago and haven't been carried out until now which means such projects are not currently necessary and can be delayed," he added.
He said the government would issue more conventional treasury bonds and Islamic sukuk bonds to "finance the budget deficit" — which is projected by the International Monetary Fund at a record $130 billion for this year.
The Kingdom has so far issued bonds worth "less than SR100 billion ($27 billion/24 billion euros)" to help with the shortfall, he said.
"We intend to issue more bonds and could issue sukuk for certain projects... before the end of 2015," Al-Assaf said.
Al-Assaf said the world's top oil exporting country was well-prepared to cope with the plunge of crude prices since last year, and that Saudi policymakers were taking it seriously.
"We have built reserves, cut public debt to near-zero levels and we are now working on cutting unnecessary expenses while focusing on main development projects and on building human resources in the Kingdom," he said in the interview, broadcast on Sunday.

Memory foam mattresses have become widely popular in today's world. Its popularity does justice to its use. Memory foam is in great demand due to material, affordability, technology and comfort. It was introduced in medical field to comfort, protect and cushion individuals in wheelchair seat and hospital intensive care units. When you lay down in same position for long hours, the pressure and gravity can affect circulation. Sometimes it may damage soft tissues. Memory foam was introduced with pressure relieving properties and benefits. It helps minimize pain in many body areas. Pressure point relief is a core benefit of such beds designed with memory foam.
How does memory foam mould to body's shape?
It is composed of viscoelastic material. Visco-elastic comes from the word viscous meaning slow moving and elastic meaning something that comes back to its original shape. Memory foam thus takes the shape slowly and comes back to original form when the force is removed. It works by absorbing the body's heat and softening in those areas, providing support. This enables it to further change its shape and distributes body's weight evenly. The body weight particularly at the shoulders and the hips compresses the foam, relieving pressure on them, thereby enhancing the support. Once the weight is removed, the mattress regains its shape as there is no heat on the mattress anymore. If turning and tossing are the main cause of poor night's sleep, then memory foam may reduce it and bring sound sleep to you.
Memory foam provides support that help relieve and prevent pain in areas like shoulders, hips and back. This can be beneficial for people who have been suffering from the problem like fibromyalgia and arthritis. If you want optimal comfort, then memory foams are for you.
Nowadays, memory foam is used in mattresses, mattress pads, pillows and much more. These products are easily available in different depth and densities. You can buy these mattresses online with us. You can find all different memory foam mattress sizes i.e. for single bed, double bed, King size or queen size mattress. We offer mattresses at best price.
These are the great option for allergy sufferers. These are designed with hypoallergenic substances that are suitable for people sensitive to chemicals and smells. These are also perfect for adjustable beds. These mattresses require low or no maintaining cost. These memory foam mattresses always ensure long life and durability. Besides support and durability, it contributes to quality sleep.
How does it help sleepers?
Memory foam is a fit for all types of sleepers, whether they are back, side or stomach sleepers.
Back sleepers: it takes the shape of the natural alignment of your spine. They can get utmost lumbar support and relaxed back.
Side sleeper: it can balance the pressure from shoulders and hips and support waist to keep spine even.
Stomach sleeper: If you are stomach sleeper, it keeps the back in shape. It prevents sore pressure points.
Why to buy memory foam mattresses?
Causes zero disturbance to the partner sleeping next to you as it prevents your movement from travelling across the cells of the memory foam.
How Fresh Up memory foam mattress is best?
