KASHI & MATHURA
Chariots Of Fire
Poornima Joshi
Monday 28 July 2003, by JOSHI*Poornima
Article paru dans Outlook India, ?dition du 28 juillet 2003.
After Ayodhya, the Sangh parivar stirs up the pot in the other two hotspots. As polls loom, will they succeed?
The frenzy has spread beyond Ayodhya. Those who helped the BJP ride to Raisina Hill on the debris of the Babri Masjid are threatening to unleash more communal tensions in what is an election year. And it's not just structures they plan to demolish. The delicate relationship shared by all communities in the Shiva-Ganga territory of Kashi is now under pressure. The land worshipped for Krishnaleela-Mathura and Vrindavan-is slowly being sullied. The VHP and the Shiv Sena have been working overtime to stoke trouble in these holy cities.
For the record, there aren't any temples in both the cities that need to be built.
They already exist. The "problem" are the adjoining mosques. The quaint old lanes that spread out from the ghats alongside the Ganga in Kashi are now encircled by iron barricades that separate the Gyanvapi mosque from the Kashi Vishwanath temple. Security personnel outnumber the faithful. The situation is similar in Mathura where entry to the temple is only after intensive security checks.
High fences hide the Idgah mosque compound.
The Kashi Vishwanath temple has existed alongside the Gyanvapi mosque for over two centuries. There was no Hindu claim over the mosque until December 1992. Now there are five legal claims in the courts. Post-Babri masjid, even a section of the mahants have been trying to lay claims to the mosques.
Mahant Som Nath Vyas, one of the claimants, says his family are descendants of the sage Ved Vyas. "There was an ancient idol of goddess Durga in the form of Shringar Gauri that was destroyed. My ancestors recreated some of it. The temple of Shringar Gauri is in the compound of what is now the mosque. We own the entire area and have now claimed it legally."
For a family that claims to "own" part of the property in the Kashi Vishwanath Gyanvapi mosque complex, oddly the legal claim was filed only in 1996. But Vyas explains it as a part of the "growing" Hindu consciousness. "Before the '90s, there was no consciousness. Now we know that we can ask for what is legitimately ours. And we will. They have erected barricades all around the temple compound to appease the Muslims. But justice will be done some day," he says.
Questions have been raised as to why these claims were entertained despite the Places of Religious Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, which clearly states that "the religious character of a place of worship existing on the 15th day of August, 1947, shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day". Asks Syed Mohammed Yaseen, joint secretary of the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid which manages the Gyanvapi mosque, "Apart from entertaining these baseless claims, the government is now deliberately appointing lawyers with clear rss links...they'll hardly oppose the claims forcefully. I ask all concerned-where were these claimants before December 6, 1992? They are belligerent now because they think the government will not protect the Muslims and their places of worship."
Predictably, the argument for demolishing the Kashi and Mathura mosques is derived from "history". The current movement is about removing the mosques because the 'original' temples allegedly existed in their present place.
In Kashi, the "proof" is the statue of a Nandi bull facing the mosque. In Mathura, the temple complex has a small room-supposed to house the exact place of Krishna's birth. This room is aligned with the wall of the mosque, "evidence" that the mosque was erected on the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
Says Prof Irfan Habib of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU): "A temple was destroyed to build the mosque in Mathura. There are no doubts on that. But this whole issue of it being the exact place of Krishna's birth is a new invention. In any case, where is all this leading to? Historical conflicts cannot be superimposed on the present.What'll happen to Buddhist and Jain claims on several Hindu places of worship? The destruction of Jain and Buddhist shrines to build Hindu temples is as well documented as destruction of Hindu temples by Muslim invaders."
The BJP and its allies have already started "sensitisation programmes" in Kashi.
On June 18, the BJP district president declared at one such event that Gyanvapi would be "freed from Muslim clutches". Maulana Abdul Batil Nomani, Mufti-e-Benares and Imam of the Gyanvapi mosque, says all this is part of a well-coordinated effort to "terrorise Muslims".
"Why is it there was no problem in Kashi for the last three centuries? Why have people started raking up issues now that can shatter peace and harmony? I believe the secular fabric in Varanasi is strong enough to withstand these assaults, but I would still like to appeal to the district and state administrations to stop such inflammatory programmes in the city," says Maulana Nomani.
There are others who feel the whole issue is more politics than religion. "There was never any problem here. Our children used to play in the temple-mosque compound freely. The whole issue has been communalised and we see no solution," says Mahant Kulpati Tripathi, chief priest of Kashi Vishwanath temple till 1983 when the UP government took over its management. (He's challenged this in the courts as well.)
Kapil Sharma, secretary, Shri Krishna-Janmasthan Seva Sansthan, which manages the Krishna temple in Mathura, echoes the sentiments. "There would be no problem here if we keep the politics of communalism out," he says. Sharma, however, is a lone voice. Senior VHP leader Vishnu Hari Dalmia is the managing trustee of this body and the movement for the "complete liberation of Krishna Janmasthan" is definitely on. Booklets elaborating on the Mughals' role in the destruction of Hindu temples (the Krishna Janmasthan temple in particular) are being circulated. Skirmishes between the imam of the Idgah adjoining the temple and local managers of the trust are not uncommon.
The only dampener here, ironically, seems to be a fallout of the Ayodhya campaign-the Sangh's inability to build a Ram mandir there even after all this time. As Sadhvi Ritambhara, who was at the forefront of the Ram temple movement, puts it, "Those who came to power because of Ayodhya are now sitting dumb in the government. It pains us to see the shameful situation in Kashi and Mathura. But a movement cannot be created unless everyone involved is sincere."
While she views the Sangh's Kashi-Mathura agitation with scepticism, there are others who believe it'll only grow. The VHP-Sena gameplan seems to be to wait and watch. Should Ayodhya strike a chord once again in the forthcoming assembly polls, then Kashi and Mathura could be raked up in a big way. Till then, it will be kept on sim.

WE IN THE alternative media denounce the attempt to silence respected journalist Inday Espina Varona, whose account was disabled by social media site Facebook. Varona's verified FB account was blocked today after she was apparently reported as "not following Community Standards" by an individual or individuals who cannot abide her reporting and commentary on public issues.
Varona is a known opinion leader in social media and has been vocal about the illegal burial of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. She has been actively covering and supporting the Black Friday protests against the burial as well as the schemes of the Marcos family to return to power.
This is not the first time that Varona's account was reported to Facebook. Only last June, the social media site also blocked several accounts and posts of journalists, including Varona's, after they shared posts criticizing the Marcos family. Facebook later admitted that it committed a mistake in censoring these posts.
We find it ironic that as we journalists voice our concern about the return of Marcosian rule, one of our colleagues, in her practice of responsible journalism, is facing the kind of censorship characteristic of the martial law regime that Ferdinand Marcos mounted. We are deeply disturbed that Facebook can summarily block any site, and censor posts and accounts without verifying the legitimacy of the complaints of those offended by free expression and opinions different from theirs. We demand that Facebook review and amend its process in determining which accounts are legitimate or not, and to put an end to the spread of misinformation and what amounts to an assault on free expression.
We are one with Varona and fellow advocacy journalists on Facebook in demanding the reactivation of her FB account. Everyone including journalists must be free to report and express their opinions, without interference. We encourage other colleagues in the media community, as well as concerned citizens, to join us in defending our civil right to free expression. We will not be silenced, in Facebook or elsewhere.

Seriously though... Etherice is my personal Website; its purpose is to market my talents, hype my projects, post images and blog entries, and aggregate headlines from my favorite news sites. The graphics are all original, except for some of the tall images that fill the left-side column, which are royalty-free, restriction-free stock images from sxc.hu.
The latest version of Etherice, 2.0 Chameleon, is my favorite by far. If you look at any of the old designs, you'll see that everything was overhauled. I rewrote everything and designed new graphics for almost everything. I wanted Etherice to sport a more Web 2.0 like interface, but more importantly I wanted a Website that could showcase a ton of content easily. Etherice can now be viewed as a custom-coded Content Management System (CMS) by yours truly.
One of my favorite features, and one that I think makes Etherice truly unique, is that it changes colors like a Chameleon everytime you visit a page (hence the codename). Users can even set the color of the site by using the color picker in the upper-right corner of the page. I wrote a very clean color theming engine that can be easily modified and customized on a per-page basis. For example, some pages run in "Chameleon mode" in which they change colors based on the context of the request's query string. You'll notice that Mizzou-oriented pages will dynamically theme yellow, black, and gold. Matrix and DreamRemix pages will theme green. The strawberries taste like strawberries. The shnozzberries taste like shnozzberries... you get the idea.
Everything in the new code base is cleanly separated and there is practically zero code redundancy. Therefore, if I want to change something, or customize something, I can isolate it to a single place and those changes propagate throughout the entire CMS. It's quite nice.

Why artists often lose their sparkle as they get older
by James Bell	on 30 October, 2018 30 October, 2018
It's Theory Time, girls and boys…
So what do I mean when I say artists who lose their 'sparkle' as they get older? Like they're unicorns or something.
Well, I struggled to find the right word. I originally put 'why artists often lose it…' but that can mean so many things. What I mean is that so many artists begin their career with a kind of energy to their work. (And by artists I'm talking musicians, writers, film-makers, comedians, painters… whatever.) And when you compare their later work to their early work, the later stuff feels lacklustre somehow. Like they don't care as much. It's something I was always aware of growing up. As a theory it was very much in the air in the 90s — as "beautifully fucking illustrated" by this clip from the film Trainspotting:
And recently, as it has finally dawned on me that despite all the various excuses that I've given myself for the last few years I am still in the middle of a writer's block, I've been thinking about it a lot.
Something that Ewan MacGregor's character says in that clip is that you get old and you can't hack it anymore. I always wondered how that could happen. In football, or some athletic sport where you are competing with much younger people, sure, I can understand that there comes a point where the physical limitations of ageing outweigh any experience you might have acquired. But for everything else… it's not like older poets are doubled up by the side of the stage, their arms resting on their knees, gasping for breath. Surely… as you get older you must learn how to do your work better, right?
Well, let's qualify a bit, shall we. I don't think this 'lacklustre-ing' happens to everyone. And when it does happen, it might happen for lots of reasons. And I'm probably only aware of it when it happens to famous people, and there are all sorts of pressures that fame can provide.
But aside from any of that, there is something specific that I have only just recently realised, which I think makes the making of art more difficult as you get older. And I think it's worth mentioning, because I don't remember hearing anyone else talk about it before.
The skills that you need when you're starting out are not the skills that you need 10 or 20 years down the line. And if you don't notice that shift, it all starts to fall apart.
Two things happen over time that cause surprising problems:
Your artistic skillset gets much broader
Your tolerance for sloppiness gets much lower
So, on the one hand, you develop many many more interests. When you were starting out you were focused on channeling a handful of core artistic influences, and putting your own spin on the result. And quite possibly, you were very happy with the result. Now though you're interested in Opera, in street art, in Japanese military history, in Caribbean cuisine. Now you're obsessed by Edith Piaf and the films of Alfred Hitchcock. And instead of channeling the works of a few artistic heroes who worked in broadly the same field, you are now infusing your work all of these different interests. Added to this, you're just better at your craft. You can now play drums pretty well, and do a convincing Australian accent. You can write believable historical fiction, and you have a keen sense of how to put a team together. You know more, and you're better at what you do. The problem isn't that as you get older you have too little to say; the problem is that you have too much to say. And if you can synthesise all of these things together into something that's coherent then that's great, and you can potentially create something that audiences really love. But it requires learning a completely different discipline: that of ruthless editing. It requires being able to cut and cut and cut until you are actually communicating something clear and coherent to your audience, even if it's only a fraction of all you want to say.
So you have all these new interests and skills. And on the other hand, your awareness for mistakes becomes much more acute. If you're very confident about what you're working on then that might not be a problem. But if you're adding all of these ingredients into the pot in the certain knowledge that each of them is amazing, and yet you find the result is less than the sum of its parts, it's very easy to lose confidence. And that loss of confidence will be evident in your work, which you can notice, and that can cause a feedback loop. And yes, this can look like you just don't care as much about it as you did, even though you care a great deal – you just can't see why it isn't working when you feel it really should be.
To put this theory simply: the older you get, the broader your skills are, and the more tempting it is to use them. But the wider your ambitions, the more difficult it is to do 'depth'. The more difficult it is to focus.
Incidentally, I think this might be why working specifically in a genre can actually be a ticket to a long career. Val McDermid, for example, is a crime writer who has also written non-fiction, children's books, and regularly appears on radio and television — but at the end of the day she still has the restriction (or perhaps liberation, depending on how you look at it) of the crime fiction genre to keep her work focused. Genres allow artists to get very good at one particular thing, and incorporate the bulk of their interests and ideas into that one thing, rather than get lost in the labyrinth of shiny possibilities.
Sometimes artists do lose their way though, and manage to pull it back.
If you know me you… might have gathered I'm a bit of a Tom Waits fan. There was a point in his career, about 6 or 7 albums in, when there was a general consensus that he was maybe running out of ideas. I can't find the quote but I remember reading Elvis Costello saying that Waits (a personal friend of his) was trapped in his own persona at this point, as a sort of alcoholic beatnik poet, and it was sad because he was just starting to repeat himself. Waits had carved out this very distinct identity, but he needed to do something new, and I get the sense that from Foreign Affairs to Heartattack & Vine he couldn't find a sound that he was happy with. He ended up moving more and more towards being a conventional 80s rocker. Added to this, the persona of the drunk poet came with the price of actually becoming an alcoholic, which wasn't helping him get his shit together any.
This is the cover of the Heartattack & Vine album:
Now, I'm a die-hard Waits fan, and to me even a lesser Waits album is better than most artist's best albums. But looking at it now, it does seem… kind of unclear what he's about. It seems kind of a mess.
Then his luck changed.
While making a soundtrack album for a Hollywood film, he met a story analyst called Kathleen Brennan. They fell in love and got married, and have worked as an artistic duo ever since. She got him off the alcohol. But she also helped him solve his lack of artistic focus. She persuaded him go way, way more experimental. She recognised that he just wasn't challenging himself anymore, and she brought a whole host of avant garde influences that he had never heard of. She recognised that, for an artist in the music business at that point in his career, if he wasn't really going right off the map then no one was going to be interested anymore.
The next album was called Swordfishtrombones. And the cover looked like this:
Gone was the macho 50s greaser look he'd been hovering around for the last decade. Here he seemed to be wearing makeup (in 1983, remember). And who were these weird looking people? Where was he? And what the fuck is a 'Swordfishtrombone'?
Lots of people found the album unlistenable at the time, although it's now considered a classic, and underneath the strangeness there are still narratively coherent stories with catchy melodies and surprising moments of emotion. I like it a lot, although I think the albums that came afterwards were even better. And I wonder if that's because he had been through this 'crisis of focus' once, and he and Kathleen had methodically dug out of it, and that made it easier to be focused in future.
So anyway.
If, like me, you're a little long in the tooth…
(What a weird fucking expression that is, by the way, but anyway…)
… maybe you need to declutter your ambitions. Because here's the thing: you probably can't go back to those core artistic influences who inspired you when you were young, because you've moved on, and so has the world. You probably need to limit your options. You probably need to go deeper, and narrow your focus.
Oh, and you probably need some kind of trombone.

EPA overrides Congress, hands over town to Indian tribes
Michael Bastasch Contributor
January 08, 2014 12:27 PM ET
Have you heard the story of the residents of Riverton, Wyo.? One day they were Wyomingans, the next they were members of the Wind River tribes — after the Environmental Protection Agency declared the town part of the Wind River Indian Reservation, undoing a 1905 law passed by Congress and angering state officials.
The surprise decision was made by officials of the EPA, the Department of Interior, and Department of Justice early last month, and has invoked the ire of Gov. Matt Mead, who has vowed not to honor the agency's decision and is preparing to fight in court.
"My deep concern is about an administrative agency of the federal government altering a state's boundary and going against over 100 years of history and law," Mead said in a statement. "This should be a concern to all citizens because, if the EPA can unilaterally take land away from a state, where will it stop?"
The EPA declared that Riverton was part of the Wind River Indian Reservation after granting a "Treatment as a State" application from the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes. The tribes submit such applications to get funding for air quality monitoring under the Clean Air Act. However, this seemingly innocuous application ended up undoing the tribal boundaries set by a 1905 congressional act.
The EPA granted the tribes' claim that the Wind River reservation extended over one million acres of land beyond what the 1905 Congressional Act established. By doing this, the agency effectively overruled an act of Congress, state officials charge.
The worry by state officials is that turning Riverton, a town of over 10,000 people, over to the tribes will come with a slew of tax and law enforcement complications. Since Riverton is now part of the Wind River reservation, it is technically no longer eligible for state services and no longer falls under local law enforcement. Mead, however, has ordered that state agencies conduct "business as usual" in regards to Riverton, meaning state services, law enforcement and regulations will continue.
"This is an alarming action when you have a federal agency step in and start to undo congressional acts that has really been our history for 108 years … with the stroke of a pen without talking to the biggest groups impacted," state Sen. Leland Christensen told The Daily Caller News Foundation, "and that would be the city of Riverton and the state of Wyoming."
According to the Mead's office, the EPA's decision came as a surprise to him, and he only found about it from the media — not the EPA itself. This comes after Mead wrote to EPA administrator Gina McCarthy last August detailing his concerns about the implications of granting the tribes' request to effectively override the 1905 act.
The tribes remain adamant that Riverton and the one million acres of land is theirs, arguing that state officials once supported such a conclusion. Tribal officials have criticized tthe governor's office for changing its tune on Riverton and the reservation's boundaries.
"Now that the [Interior Department] and EPA have issued their determinations, state officials have changed their tune, claiming to be outraged by the decision and suggesting that the federal government has no say in such matters," the Northern Arapaho Business Council wrote in a letter to Mead, adding that the state's shift in rhetoric could hurt tribe-state relations.
The dispute has received little national attention as of yet, but the Wyoming congressional delegation has written the EPA on the issue.
"The EPA's decision has in effect overturned a law that has been governing land and relationships for more than 100 years," wrote Wyoming Sens Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, along with Rep. Cynthia Lummis. "We are also very concerned about the political ramifications this decision could have for the tribes and the state of Wyoming."
The boundary dispute between Wyoming and the tribes has been going on for some time now. It arose from a 2009 tax case that the state urged the courts not to drop because of the "implications of ruling on a boundary without the federal government and Eastern Shoshone being involved in the case," reports the Casper Star-Tribune.
"We don't have a fully binding decision," Deputy Attorney General Marty Hardsocg in 2009. "We do in the state, but the state is then put in a position of having to rely on the federal government's view for its direction."
"At the end, of the day state lawyers acknowledge that this determination is a federal question and must be determined to a final point in the federal courts," Mark Howell, the lobbyist for the Northern Arapaho tribe, told the Star-Tribune. "That's what this EPA decision will allow all parties to do."
State courts have heard at least two cases on the boundary in the last three decades — one 1980s Wyoming Supreme Court case found that Riverton was part of the reservation, and another state high court case in 2008, which found that the town was in Wyoming.
The only problem is that the state court decisions don't set a solid precedent, since neither case involves both tribes living on the reservation, nor the state and the federal government all at once, Howell told the Star-Tribune.
The EPA did not immediately respond to TheDCNF's request for comment.

What to Know About Measles
The headlines are constant, and they're scary—the United States is in the midst of the worst measles outbreak since 1994. As of last week, 764 cases of measles have been confirmed in 23 states.
Measles had previously been declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, but now "the number of susceptible people has increased because of people citing religious or personal objections to immunizations and therefore not immunizing their children, based on a misperception of the risks and benefits of vaccines," says David J. Weber, MD, MPH, an infectious diseases expert at UNC Medical Center.
Here's what you need to know about the outbreak, the vaccine and how to protect yourself and your family.
1. No cases have been reported in North Carolina—yet.
That isn't likely to last, Dr. Weber says. "Given how many states measles is in, and given how many cases (in the U.S.), I would say it's really a matter of when, not if, we see cases here."
2. Measles is extremely contagious.
"Measles is the most contagious disease we know," Dr. Weber says. Up to 90 percent of people susceptible to measles will get it if they are exposed. The virus lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person, and it spreads through coughing and sneezing. The virus can live in the air for two hours after a person with measles leaves a room.
3. Measles can cause severe complications, some of them long-term.
Besides the illness caused by measles itself—fever, cough, runny nose, rash—people who get measles are at higher risk of secondary problems such as pneumonia, inner ear infections, croup and diarrhea. Young children can experience fever-related seizures, and about 1 in 1,000 cases results in encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain. As much as a decade after infection, people who had measles can develop an autoimmune-like illness.
In the United States, the mortality rate for measles—1 or 2 deaths per 1,000 cases—is much lower than in many other countries, where measles remains a major killer. Before the vaccine, 3 million to 4 million Americans were infected each year, and as many as 500 of them died.
4. The measles vaccine is extremely effective when administered properly—and extremely safe.
People who received two doses of live, attenuated measles vaccine (delivered as a combination measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, shot) are more than 99 percent protected.
Serious side effects from any vaccine are rare, Dr. Weber says. In fact, he has provided and supervised more than 100,000 doses of all types of vaccines to health care professionals who work at UNC Medical Center, and he has never seen a hospitalization or any permanent adverse effects. Some people who receive the MMR vaccine will have mild and temporary reactions such as a sore arm or a mild rash.
"The risk of not getting immunized is much higher than any risk of a vaccine," Dr. Weber says.
5. Children should be vaccinated between ages 12 and 15 months and again between 4 and 6 years.
The vaccine is not given to babies earlier because the antibodies they received from their mother in utero may continue to provide protection up to a year outside the womb, and because the effectiveness of the vaccine in newborns is not as good. Babies who live in communities where there is an outbreak or those who travel abroad can get the vaccine early, between ages 6 and 12 months, but they'll still need two more doses at the normal recommended times.
Dr. Weber recommends that parents of babies younger than 12 months talk to their child care providers about vaccination policies at their day care center or school to ensure that all older children and adults around their babies are vaccinated.
6. Protocol for administering the vaccine has changed over the decades.
Today's effective version of the vaccine has been in use since 1968, so people who had two doses since then should be immune, Dr. Weber says. However, two doses have only been recommended since 1989.
People vaccinated between 1963 and 1968 might have received an inactivated vaccine that was later shown to be less effective, but less than a million people are thought to have received that particular shot, Dr. Weber says.
Those born before 1957 are considered immune because it is highly likely they had measles as a child, given the disease's ubiquity in that era and how contagious it is.
7. Some people can't receive the vaccine and rely on others to get vaccinated and keep the disease at bay.
Infants younger than 1, pregnant women and people who are immunocompromised because of treatments for cancer or other illnesses cannot receive the vaccine for measles. That's why it's so important for people who can be vaccinated to do so, for the safety of the community as a whole, Dr. Weber says.
8. People who are traveling internationally should take precautions against measles.
Measles is present in greater numbers in many foreign countries than it is in the U.S. Right now there are outbreaks in Japan, Israel and Ukraine. Dr. Weber advises people who will be traveling abroad to check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for travel notices and to talk to their health care providers about precautions such as a booster shot, if necessary. People who were never vaccinated should receive the MMR shot before traveling.
9. Pregnant women who have been properly vaccinated do not need to worry about their babies in utero.
The mother's antibodies will go through the placenta and protect the child. "If the mother is immune to measles, even if she is exposed to measles, the baby is perfectly protected," Dr. Weber says. Plus, "measles is not a disease that causes congenital abnormalities" like varicella (chickenpox) or rubella can.
10. Measles causes cold-like symptoms days before its telltale rash.
Measles presents first with a cough, runny nose and conjunctivitis, often called pinkeye. People are contagious as many as four days before a rash appears, Dr. Weber says.
People who have been exposed to the measles virus who have not been vaccinated, or who have received only one dose, should receive the vaccine within 72 hours, Dr. Weber says. People who can't receive the vaccine can receive immunoglobulin, a blood product, intravenously for up to six days, and this provides some protection against measles.
11. People with symptoms they think could be measles should call their doctor before going into a doctor's office or hospital.
To prevent transmission, a clinic or hospital has procedures for safely bringing in a person who might have measles or another highly contagious disease, Dr. Weber says. This is likely to involve both the patient and all providers wearing masks and the patient being brought directly to a private room rather than waiting in a common area. At UNC Medical Center, there are "airborne isolation rooms" for this purpose; the air is exchanged frequently and sent directly outside rather than to other parts of the hospital, which reduces risk of airborne infection.
If you're concerned about your immunity to measles, talk to your doctor. If you need a doctor for you or your child, find one near you.

A year ago, Fred & Vince pulled off one of the most impressive feats in free flight history.
Where does something like this begin? With a sightline on an open door? With a transit flight over a massive glacier? With a high alpine BASE jump? Or, much further back in time?
Fred & Vince's incredible project was inspired by Patrick de Gayardon more than 20 years ago, a stunt that was reinvented by them using the Freak 2. Through months of training and over 100 flights together, Fred, Vince, Philippe, and Yves, steadily moved towards their goal.

Conceptual diagram showing the development of integrated environmental modelling techniques for linked models.
To address the most pertinent challenges of the age, including climate change, sustainable development and management of natural resources, we need to model the whole Earth as an integrated system (whole Earth system science). This can be done by bringing together climate, ecological, hydrological, hydrogeological, geological and socio-economic models, along with others, to provide the necessary framework for evidence-based prediction and planning.
The project will bring together geoscience and other environmental models to help fully understand the subsurface. A scoping study has been completed and DREAM started its project stage in 2010.
One of the key objectives will be to develop an environmental modelling platform comprising methodologies, standards and software to facilitate the linking together of existing environmental models in order to gain a more complete understanding of the environment and the processes that occur within it. BGS will seek to lead and facilitate the development of a research community focused on the development of the Environmental Modelling platform. Research collaborations will also assist in attracting external funding to the project.
The creation of software tools will allow the output from linked models to be visualised easily and utilised in decision support systems. The project will also promote the development of important underpinning concepts, such as a semantic framework for the geosciences, to allow data to be interchanged between different modelling environments.

Boeing Prepares to Install Beam Control System on High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 25, 2010 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today announced that its High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator (HEL TD) team in Huntsville is installing subassemblies on the Oshkosh Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT), while a HEL TD team in Albuquerque, N.M., is integrating the laser beam director assembly with the beam control system. These technical integration tasks are being performed to prepare for installation of the beam control system on the HEMTT later this year.
HEL TD is a solid-state laser system demonstrator that will verify the ability to shoot down rockets, artillery and mortars. Boeing is developing the system under contract to the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command.
"We are applying the best of Boeing to deliver this ground-breaking technology to the warfighter as soon as possible," said Blaine Beardsley, Boeing HEL TD program manager. "The HEL TD program provides a great opportunity to apply the ultra-precision, speed-of-light benefits of directed energy that will dramatically improve our customer's defenses on the battlefield."
The subassemblies being installed on the eight-wheel, 500-horsepower HEMTT include a generator and heating, ventilation and air conditioning units. The vehicle also is equipped with a system enclosure, a structure that will hold much of its critical hardware, including the beam control system and beam director.
After installation of the beam control system onto the HEMTT, HEL TD will enter low-power system testing at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. These tests, scheduled for next year, will demonstrate the HEL TD system's ability to acquire, track and target moving projectiles.

Following The Game and the Governess comes the second novel in the witty, sexy Winner Takes All series of Regency romances from Kate Noble, the writer behind the wildly popular, award-winning web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
Clerk John Turner thought only of winning a bet when he switched places with his friend, Lord Edward Granville, at a country house party. But while posing as a lord, he fell for a lady—the Countess Letitia! Now she's learned the truth, and he must win her back as plain John Turner. He'd better hope that love truly conquers all...
Lady Letty was publicly humiliated when it came out that she had fallen for the man, not the master. When she meets him again, she's determined to avoid him, but some things are too intoxicating to be denied. Letty knows what choice she must make to survive, but if she turns her back on her dashing rogue—again—will she lose her chance at love forever?

"With her usual witty writing and exquisite flair for characterization, Noble offers readers the second, splendid book in her Winner Takes All series. The effortless manner in which she wrote The Lie and the Lady as a separate love story while at the same time gracefully connecting it to The Game and the Governess (2014) and cleverly hinting at what is to come in the series is nothing less than brilliant." ― Booklist (starred review)
"Noble charms and enchants with a lively farce of a romance...There's loads of fun, but also tenderness and compassion. Noble certainly understands that combining humor, passion, a lively pace and a bit of mystery captures her fans' hearts." ― RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
"With a delightfully daring, tongue-in-cheek sense of both humor and romance, Noble continues where The Game and the Governess left off....heartwarming." ― Publishers Weekly
"Kate Noble's The Game and the Governess spins a clever, tremendously entertaining tale of truth and lies, love and friendship." --The Washington Post
"[T]his winning novel ... boasts rich characters and a deliciously complex story." -- Publishers Weekly on The Game and the Governess
"An extraordinary and unique romance worth savoring." --Smart Bitches, Trashy Books on Let It Be Me
"The story's prologue literally gave me goosebumps — goosebumps that never went away throughout the whole book. This is the kind of deep, touching read that romance fans search for. I have a new favorite author!" - Morgan Doremus, RT Editor on Let It Be Me
"If Austen were alive and writing novels today, the result might be something exactly like Follow My Lead, a wickedly witty and superbly satisfying romance." –Chicago Tribune
"Believable and captivating…an outstanding and memorable tale." –PW (starred review) on Follow My Lead
"clever and graceful…simply sublime" –Booklist on Compromised -- Praise for Kate Noble

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it.
I confess I already loved the heroine, Letitia, and the hero, Turner, before I started this book. That is because they featured so much in the prequel, 'The Game and the Governess.' While I read that novel, I wanted more of Letitia and Turner. I'd seen them fall in love in that other novel and liked them very much.
Having said that, The Lie and The Lady works well as a stand-alone and you do not need to read the prequel novel to enjoy this one. However, I'm guessing that knowledge of 'The Game and the Governess' helped me love these characters quickly despite that Letitia appeared mercenary at first.
The Lie and the Lady builds over time so that it is in the last 40% or so that the clues and events in the first chunk of the book all come together. In the last 1/3 of this book, I decided that I loved it.
The build-up to admissions of love, kissing and other intimacies was so good that at a mere touch, or kiss, heat bloomed from my heart outward through my chest. That response took me by surprise and I loved that this book could do that.
I felt there was a good balance of Letitia and Turner being together on the page and apart, especially because of Letitia's circumstances.
The one who needed to find her true self and where she belonged was Letitia, and I felt she did an admirable job of 'waking up' in the time given to her in the book. I admired Turner for not interfering in Letitia's plans for her future, or pushing her in any way to do what he wanted, and how he waited for her to know herself and accept him. I found him an honourable character.
I enjoyed the secondary characters too, whether likeable or evil, and I am looking forward to this author's next novel, hoping it will be about Margaret and Rhys.
I felt this novel was well researched and enjoyed it thoroughly. It boggles my mind that the author wrote this while nursing a newborn baby. What a woman!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than book one
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2020
This was better than The Game and the Governess, mostly because John is vastly more sympathetic than Ned. Even when I wanted to shake him because he was being an ass. I loved Leticia, and I wouldn't call her a gold-digger at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story
Reviewed in the United States on 12 January 2016
Having listened to The Game and the Governess on Audible, I could not wait to read this book. Because of the situation in the first book, I was impossibly curious how Mr. Turner and Letitia would fare in this second book. I read the second book using the kindle app, and I am glad that I did.
The Lie and the Lady was is a wonderful read, and I found it to be clever, thoughtful and filled with intriguing characters. The dialogue is rich, witty and the atmosphere of the book makes the town of Helmsley and its people in it come alive. I felt like I was right there when it all happened, a bit like stepping into a Masterpiece Theatre series. I love when a story comes alive like that, when I am reading a book. .
There is romantic intent from several characters in the book, though the physical romance is secondary to the overall flow of the story. There is one scene in the churchyard with the John Turner and Letitia that is achingly beautiful and melancholy.
I am definitely moving this book to my keeper shelf.
4.0 out of 5 stars High entertainment
Reviewed in the United States on 25 July 2016
Its hard to find clever approaches to an overdone genre. I read a lot of them and so many fade into the forgetable. Ms Noble has managed to be fresh with an original story line, characters who have unique personalities, and a setting in a mill town rather than in high society London. The mix is refreshing and very interesting. In today's world, Letty would be CEO of a company, Margaret would be on her way to academic prominence, Helen would be the Mayor. But the Regency/post Napoleonic times caused severe restrictions on women's ability to be independent. That struggle is clearly illuminated here and that struggle is what makes this time period a favorite for historical fiction. I found Letty tough, tender, and fascinating. I loved the windmill! Nice job!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I liked the first book in this series, and I was looking forward to this one. It was disappointing. The hero was bland and had only a small part in the book. The heroine was immature, snobbish, and two-dimensional. They had no chemistry at all. The storyline was contrived, and the dialogue stilted. The author gave only the slightest explanation of how the heroine found herself in difficult circumstances. A few times I thought about bailing out of the book entirely. I don't think I'll read any more in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Kate Noble's books
Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2016
I love Kate Noble's books, This is the second in a series. If you can look past the unrealistic incredible amount of coincidences that brings the book together you will enjoy it. This book can easily be read separate, but you enjoy the irony and references of things better if you read The Lie and the Governess first. I can not wait until the next book comes out with Dr Gray. I am also waiting for Kate to finish the Blue Raven Series, I want to know how they catch the Killer of Lord Fieldstone.

Determining where a company wants to go is only the first step in achieving your business vision. Now the hard work begins. Your business strategy needs to be translated into strategic action plans that identify short term and long term objectives that must be met and how these will be accomplished. This includes establishing goals, strategies and action plans that become the framework from which your company is managed.

More polling sample shenanigans?
By Rosslyn Smith
The latest CNN poll on South Carolina and Nevada reports this sample information:
A total of 1,009 South Carolina adults were interviewed, including 521 who said they were likely to vote in the Republican presidential primary. In Nevada, interviews were conducted with 1,011 adults, including 285 who said they were likely to participate in the Republican presidential caucus.
The idea that over half of the adults polled at random are going to vote in one political party's primary is ludicrous even in an open primary state like South Carolina. About 30% of them aren't likely to be registered to vote. Of those who are registered, probably 40% identify or lean Democrat and are unlikely to cross over even if the voting laws allow them to. Plus there is a primary on the Democrat side, too. Then there are historic primary voting patterns. According to the United States Election Project the actual Republican presidential primary turnout in South Carolina in 2012 was 16.7% of eligible voters. In the 2012 general election, turnout in South Carolina was 56.3%. Yet CNN is reporting that 51.6% of its sample of adults is likely to vote in the Republican primary. Based on historic information on voter registration, party affiliation and turnout, a sample of a 1000 adults is far more likely to yield a number closer to 50 who will vote in the Republican primary than 521.
CNN also claimed that 285 of the 1,011 residents of Nevada they polled were likely to participate in the Republican caucus. Nevada is a closed caucus state, which means that only those registered as Republicans 30 days before the caucus date can participate. According to the most recent statistics from the Nevada Secretary of States office, 34,5 of the voters are registered Republicans. Actual turnout at the Nevada Republican caucus in 2012 was 1.9% of eligible voters. Thus a random sample of 1000 adults is likely to contain fewer than 5 people who are likely to attend the Nevada Republican caucus. (1000 x.70 x.34.5 x .019)
