Stefan Bradl To Replace Injured Cal Crutchlow
Stefan Bradl is to replace Cal Crutchlow on the LCR Honda at the next round of MotoGP at Sepang, a week from today. As HRC's official test rider, Bradl was the easy choice to take the place of the injured Crutchlow.
Crutchlow was ruled out of Sunday's Australian Grand Prix after a huge crash at Turn 1 during FP2 on Friday. His right leg took a beating in the fall, fracturing his ankle in three places. Crutchlow was flown to Melbourne, where an external cage was placed on his ankle to fix the bones in place while the swelling subsides. Crutchlow is due for further surgery on Thursday to have the bones plated.
That rules Crutchlow out of the race at Sepang, and makes him doubtful for the Valencia race in three weeks' time. A decision on Valencia will not be made until much nearer the event, but it is conceivable that Crutchlow will decide to sit out the race, and focus on being fit for the last test of the year at Jerez at the end of November.
Stefan Bradl will take the place of Cal Crutchlow in the LCR Honda team at Sepang, and if the Englishman is not fit to race at Valencia, then at the final race as well. Bradl would have been present at Valencia anyway, both because of TV duties with the Austrian Servus TV, and for the first post-season test at Valencia on the Tuesday and Wednesday after the race.
There is some small irony in Bradl being drafted in to replace Crutchlow at LCR. Crutchlow took the place of the German in the LCR Honda team at the end of the 2014, when team boss Lucio Cecchinello decided to gamble on the Englishman, rather than continue with Bradl.
Below are two press releases from the LCR Honda squad, giving some detail on Crutchlow's injury, and announcing Stefan Bradl as his replacement.
MEDICAL UPDATE ON LCR HONDA CASTROL RIDER CAL CRUTCHLOW
PRESS RELEASE: 28 October 2018 | Medical Report
The LCR Honda CASTROL Team can provide an update on the condition of Cal Crutchlow who suffered an ankle injury at the Australian Grand Prix on Friday. The Briton rider crashed out at the first corner of the Phillip Island circuit, sustaining damage that ruled him out of the remainder of the MotoGP event.
Lucio Cecchinello (LCR Team Principal): "Cal arrived at Alfred Hospital by helicopter very quickly after the crash and his initial treatment in the medical centre at the race track. We are very grateful for this because, despite his serious injury, it was not compulsory, but everyone was very keen for him to be taken to hospital by helicopter".
"Once he arrived, he had a full body scan which confirmed that the only part of his body injured in the crash was his right ankle. The fracture he sustained to it involved both the ankle malleolus and distal tibia. Dr. Lazarus and the surgery team led by Dr. Edwards – who successfully operated on the right ankle of Dani Pedrosa many years ago – carried out a first procedure which was a fracture reduction and alignment and external fixation with the use of a cage".
"This first surgery took 45 minutes and was simply to put the bone back into the perfect position for a second operation. That will take place on Wednesday or Thursday once the swelling to the ankle has gone down and will most likely involve inserting three small plates to keep the bone in place and guarantee the best possible recovery".
"The plan is that he will then be discharged three days after the second operation, which is next weekend. We will be in Malaysia at that time, so Cal will fly home instead and try to recover as quickly as possible. He will be able to start physiotherapy two weeks after the surgery to try and get himself fit as quickly as he can."
HRC TEST RIDER STEFAN BRADL TO RIDE FOR LCR HONDA AT MALAYSIAN GP
PRESS RELEASE: 28 October 2018 | Official Announcement
Following LCR Honda CASTROL rider Cal Crutchlow's injury at Phillip Island, the LCR Honda Team has confirmed that HRC Test rider Stefan Bradl will replace the Briton at the Sepang Grand Prix. Crutchlow – who headed to Australia in great form after his second place at Motegi – suffered a fracture to his right ankle and distal tibia after a heavy fall at the famous coastal circuit on Friday and won't be able to participate to the Malaysian GP next week.
Stefan Bradl (HRC Test Rider): "First of all I want to say it's a great pity for Cal because he was in good form after the podium in Japan and the last few races. I hope he has a speedy recovery. It's a good opportunity for me, it's a nice comeback (to the LCR Team) as we had three years together and there are a lot of people I know in the team. I also want to thank HRC and Lucio for reacting so quickly and professionally to this situation. Now let's see what we can do, I'm looking forward to seeing the guys and working with them again."
Lucio Cecchinello (LCR Team Principal): "Obviously we are very disappointed about Cal's crash in Friday's FP2 session and the resulting fracture of the right ankle. But this is part of racing and we must accept if even if we do not like it. Cal's orthopaedic problem will be successfully fixed in few weeks. The whole team wish him a very speed recovery and in the meantime we move to Malaysia for the penultimate round of the season with another LCR former racer. Stefan Bradl raced in LCR colours for three years in the premier class (2012, 2013 and 2014) and we know all about his remarkable skills and undeniable talent. We are happy to be back in the garage together".
Sepang, Malaysia
Get well soon Cal Crutchlow

I can tell you, with the amount of money I have put into hockey, the Flareside could have been...…………………….
Like wheeling, hockey is a life sport, and it is totally worth it! A guy I skated with some, my old man skated with a lot, decided to finally hang up his blades a few years back. I think he was 92 or 94. He learned to skate young, so he skated for 90is years. That's pretty awesome. At the very least, all that training he's been doing, can serve useful for most of the rest of his life.
I can't imagine putting in all the work guys do to play football, and then be physically done with the sport by early 20s. All that training and learning just to sit on the couch eating chipdip watching your sport on TV.
Well, I didn't completely fall off the face of the earth, and I am still gathering parts (very slowly) for the Flareside.
The boy is taking all of my resources with his hockey. Two more years and he is off to college and I can get back at it.
He's off to college already? Last I seen him, he was in middle school.

35-year-old journalist Raman Kashyap, one of the eight victims of Lakhimpur Kheri violence, had joined media just three months ago after his friends persuaded him to do so. He was primarily a school teacher and the media job became his hobby after he did a couple of news stories for a Madhya Pradesh-based News Channel.
He realised that he could highlight the villagers' problems through his reporting and that's what encouraged him to continue as a journalist.
His father, Ram Dulare Kashyap, says that his son's mobile phone which was recovered from the place of the incident showed that the second car of the convoy of Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni's son allegedly hit him. Talking to Outlook, Kashyap reveals that his son's mobile is a crucial piece of evidence of the entire incident.
Last evening, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and other Congress leaders came to your house? What assurance did you get from them?
I briefed them about the whole incident and they said that they would fight for justice for my son. The two chief ministers, Bhupesh Baghel ji and Charanjit Singh Channi ji, who accompanied them, promised to pay Rs 50 lakh each as financial help. They were very supportive.
Have you received any compensation amount from the government?
Yes, around 7 pm on October 6, I received a cheque of Rs 45 lakh from the state government. I will deposit it in the bank for the disbursement of the compensation amount. Besides, the television channel for which he was working has also promised to pay Rs 5 lakh.
Now, do you have any specific demands from the state government?
I want the state government to arrest and punish all those people who are responsible for this incident. They must be arrested and put behind bars. I also want the government to offer a job for my son's wife.
When did your son join the media profession?
It was just about three months ago that he came into news reporting. His friends were working with television channels and they persuaded him to take up the job. They helped him get in touch with a news channel. I don't think he was into reporting for any money. He was a teacher in a nearby school, Modern Gurukul Academy, from where he was earning about Rs 8000 every month. Some people have incorrectly reported that he was getting Rs 1500 monthly from a media job and Rs 500 for one assignment. He was not in the profession for Rs 500. We pay Rs 300 daily to unskilled labour in the village. So why will he take a job for such a meagre sum?
Since he was already a school teacher, why did he join the media?
As I said initially his friends encouraged him but later on he realised that it was a powerful way to highlight people's problems. He used to go to police stations, courts and hospitals to raise the issues of the villagers.
When did he leave for reporting on October 3?
He left home around 11 in the morning as there were two events taking place at two different places. The wrestling competition was in the Minister's ancestral village in Balbirpur and the farmers' protest was going on in Tikonia village. The two are at about 4 km from each other. So he might be frequenting between them.
Where was he when a convoy of Minister's son allegedly ran over the vehicles on the farmers?
He was there on the spot. In fact, he was hit by the second car of the convoy that killed him. When I got his mobile and checked the recording, I realised he kept gathering the video footage till the time he was hit by the second vehicle. So, the first vehicle hit farmers and drove ahead. Then a few minutes later the second car came and my son got hit on his left side. His mobile's recording clearly shows that. I have kept it safe and not shared it with anyone.
Since you have seen all the recordings on his mobile, did you anywhere find Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni's son in the video?
No, I cannot make out from the footage whether he was there or not.
You have also alleged that your son was alive many hours after he was hit by the vehicle but he was not offered any medical help and straightway sent to the mortuary as a dead body. What makes you think so?
When he didn't return home in the evening we got worried and started asking his friends and people around. Then it was around 3:30 am almost after 12 hours of the incident, we got a call from the mortuary that there was a dead body and we were asked to go and recognise it. When I saw my son's dead body, the blood that came out from the back of his head looked fresh. Also, there was no severe injury to his body. This makes me feel that he kept lying on the site of the incident and then was straightway sent to the mortuary. There are three hospitals on the way from the mortuary to the site of the incident but the administration took no effort to admit him to any hospital. I believe he was unconscious and not dead.
What do you do for your livelihood?
I am a farmer and I have 5 acres of land on which we grow crops. After I lost my eldest son, now I have two sons who are married and they work with me on the farm. It was only the eldest one who was working as a teacher and a journalist. He has left behind his wife and two kids. Money can never compensate for the irreparable loss that I have suffered.

Q: Is there a max libGDX texture size for desktop? I know that on mobile devices, the largest texture you could render in a single draw differs: sometimes it is a mere 1024x1024 - other times 2048x2048 etc.
What is the case for Desktop games? I am using OpenGL 2.0.
I intend to draw one single background sprite that could be as big as 5000x5000. I am guessing that TexturePacker is not quite useful in this scenario, because I don't really need an atlas since I'm just trying to make a single sprite.
Yes, I just tested for 5000x5000 and it works just fine. Just wondering if there's an actual limit to consider. Maybe it differs from one computer to another?

A: In addition to what P.T. said, I wanted to supply the code for that (in libGDX).
IntBuffer intBuffer = BufferUtils.newIntBuffer(16);
Gdx.gl20.glGetIntegerv(GL20.GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, intBuffer);
System.out.println(intBuffer.get());

On my desktop system this results in 4096, meaning that the max size supported is 4096x4096. My system is not that old though. You should probably not assume that 5000x5000 is available on all desktop systems. Usually you don't need textures that big so not all GPUs support that. You can always split it up in several textures and draw it on multiple quads next to each other to work around that problem.

A: The maximum texture size is a function of OpenGL, which leaves the size to the video card's device driver (within bounds).
You can check at run-time to see what the reported limits are (though see Confusion with GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE for some caveats).
To find out what a variety of hardware reports in practice, there are some sites that collect databases of results from users (mostly concerned with benchmark performance), that often also collect data like max texture size. (E.g., gfxbench.com, or http://opengl.gpuinfo.org/gl_stats_caps_single.php?listreportsbycap=GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE)
I think on a modern desktop GPU 5000x5000 will be well under the supported limit.

I recently showed images of the amazing contemporary furniture by Mark Brazier Jones being displayed at The Vyne. But even without such added bling the house has many different layers of history and meaning.

The Vyne was created in the early sixteenth century as a Tudor 'power house' for the Sandys family out of a group of medieval buildings. In 1653 the estate was bought by Chaloner Chute, a Speaker of the House of Commons, who modernised it and added the portico (see previous post) – the first to be used on an English house.

John Chute, an architect and antiquarian, inherited The Vyne in 1754. Chute was a friend of Horace Walpole and a member of the 'Committee of Taste' that advised Walpole on the building of his house, Strawberry Hill. In his remodelling of The Vyne Shute used a mixture of Gothic and Classical, but he also showed considerable respect for the history of the house itself.

The next generation to make a significant impact was that of William Wiggett Chute and his wife Martha, who took up residence in 1842. With characteristic Victorian enterprise Wiggett Chute repaired the house and rearranged its contents.

He brought running water to the upper floors and added sixteen bedrooms as well as a back staircase for the servants. Nevertheless Wiggett Chute was keen to preserve the historical spirit of the place, for instance by buying Vyne-related items at the great Strawberry Hill sale in 1842.

Wiggett Chute's son, the second Chaloner Chute, published A History of the Vyne in 1888, one of the most scholarly of nineteenth-century country house histories. Sir Charles Chute, 1st Baronet, gave The Vyne to the National Trust in 1956.

Questions of influence
Illustration from Johan Nieuhof's 'Embassy' (1665 and subsequent editions). ©Edizioni White Star
In prepration for a talk that I am giving tonight I have been looking at the printed sources for chinoiserie. It is often very difficult to pinpoint the exact source for a particular design, but every now and again you come upon an exact match.

The illustrated book about China by Johan Nieuhof, entitled The Embassy … to … the Present Emperor of China and first published in 1665, seems to have been particularly influential. You can find echoes of the palaces, pagodas, trees and figures depicted there in all kinds of decorative art in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
But in the case of the bullock-drawn carriage shown above the motif was copied almost literally in the lower left-hand quadrant of an early 1690s Soho tapestry at Belton House.
Sections of Soho tapestry hung in the Tapestry Room at the Vyne, Hampshire. They were originally commissioned for the house in about 1720. ©NTPL/Nadia Mackenzie
The Soho tapestries at Belton are rather faded, but the ones at The Vyne have retained more of their rich dark colours. They were originally meant to evoke East Asian lacquer.
Design for a fireplace and wall treatment by Daniel Marot, c. 1700.
The architect Daniel Marot depicted them in the prints of interiors that he published in about 1700. And if you look closely you can see another direct match: the pavilion shown three quarters of the way up in the tapestry in the Marot print also appears in the top left-hand corner of the tapestry at The Vyne.

The Vyne was orinially a Tudor house owned by the Sandys family. In 1653 it was bought by Chaloner Chute (c 1595-1659), Speaker of the House of Commons. He employed the architect John Webb, a pupil of Inigo Jones, to add the portico to the north front in the 1650s, the first of its kind on an English country house.

His descendant John Chute (1701-1776) was a friend of the collector Horace Walpole, and he was a member of the 'Committee of Taste' that helped to design Walpole's famous Gothick villa at Twickenham, Strawberry Hill.
Baroque? Rococo? Neo-classical? Pieces by Mark Brazier-Jones in the setting of John Chute's staircase. ©National Trust
The Strawberry Hill circle was in the vanguard of the new antiquarian taste. At The Vyne John Chute refurbished some rooms in the Gothick style, while in others he employed a neo-classical idiom. The staircase, in particular, is a neo-classical tour de force.
You can probably spot the Brazier-Jones by now. ©National Trust
John Chute bequeathed The Vyne to the above-mentioned Thomas Chute, a distant cousin originally called Lobb who assumed the Chute name upon coming into his inheritance.

VIDEO: Peter Brimelow attacks multiculturalism at CPAC
Sofia Resnick - February 9, 2012
The American Conservative Union has already taken heat early into this year's annual Conservative Political Action Conference for banning a pro-gay conservative group while welcoming a speaker with controversial views against multiculturalism that progressive advocacy groups have branded "white nationalist."
Latino Republican anti-bigotry campaign draws angry Colorado GOP response
John Tomasic - January 11, 2011
As the nation's political class wrestles with the violence in Arizona that killed and injured more than twenty people and landed Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the hospital with a bullet through the brain, leading national Latino conservative organization Somos Republicans is spotlighting the harsh backlash it drew from members of the Colorado GOP to a campaign it launched last week lauding former state Republican Muhammad Ali Hasan for speaking out about growing bigotry in the party.
Ron Paul CPAC victory more evidence of stiffening right ideology
David Weigel - February 22, 2010
WASHINGTON-- The news that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) had won the 2010 CPAC presidential straw poll was leaked early, to soften the blow. Before GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio had even begun to click through a Powerpoint presentation that shared the results, reporters were informed of Paul's easy, 31 percent victory over nine Republicans tipped as serious 2012 contenders. Those reporters started to write stories on Paul's surprise win, waiting for the official announcement — and an explosion of jeering and booing in the main ballroom of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. Sighing with relief, press aides for the annual conservative conference made sure that the on-site media had heard that reaction.

CPAC speakers work to unite Tea Party and Republican Party
WASHINGTON-- Mitt Romney has not spoken at any Tea Parties. He has largely avoided the messy debates over the 10th Amendment, nullification, Paul Ryan's budget proposals, and whether TV stars should be punished for using the "R" word. But at CPAC, at his mid-afternoon address to an overflowing crowd of conservative activists, it was like he'd been waving a Gadsen Flag and a tea kettle from the start.

As the Conservative Political Action Conference chugs on in Washington, Wes Benedict, executive director of the Libertarian Party, issued this statement reminding the world...
Hasan stuns CPAC conservatives with defense of Muslims, gays, Mexicans
David O. Williams - March 4, 2009
No shoes were thrown but Ali Hasan did put his foot in his mouth last week at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., baffling the arch-conservative crowd with some decidedly moderate views.
Honey, let's float a ballot initiative!
Is Barack Obama's birth certificate a fake? Has he illegally sneaked lessons he learned as an infant born somewhere "over there" into the highest office of the land? That's one of the more popular set of ideas animating attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week in D.C. and, Colorado voters will be pleased to learn, one that also informs an amendment appearing on the list of proposed initiatives for the 2010 ballot.
Tancredo: Jindal politically dead; Grover Norquist should be jailed
At CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, which is being held in D.C. this week, former Rep. Tom Tancredo joined the fireworks brigade by brushing off party leader Rush Limbaugh and blasting GOP leading light Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Later, at a meeting of the Young Americans for Western Civilization, Tancredo told The Washington Independent's David Weigel that "Gang of Five neocon and anti-tax champion Grover Norquist should be jailed for advancing the cause of Muslim terrorism at the highest levels of U.S. government.
Conservatives: We need a new message, not new principles
Tucker Carlson closed out the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference to a chorus of boos. His crime: informing a crowd of youngish, frustrated conservatives that if they wanted to succeed, they had to copy The New York Times.

The NFL typically issues their compensatory picks to the clubs in late March at the owners' meetings, but the experts out in cyberspace, who have largely cracked the league's unpublicized formula for awarding compensatory selections in the draft, and accurately predict what teams will get extra picks, don't see the Bills getting anything additional this spring.
Recently on Philly.com, compensatory pick prognosticator Jimmy Kempski forecast how the league will award these picks and to which clubs. Based on his projections the Bills will not be awarded any compensatory picks.
One of the main reasons why is a team, first and foremost, must have a net loss of free agents from the previous offseason. Based on past history there are several free agents who do not fall under the "net loss" formula. An example would be restricted free agents or exclusive rights free agents who are not tendered by their teams, like David Nelson last year.
So based on those stipulations the Bills broke even on free agents, losing Andy Levitre and Chad Rinehart, while signing Alan Branch and Manny Lawson.
Kevin Kolb does not count because he was released by Arizona and not an unrestricted free agent.
The league only awards 32 total compensatory picks a year in the draft. If there has not been enough player movement to warrant the full 32 compensatory picks in that fashion, the rest are awarded as net value picks, usually to teams who lost a free agent that signed for top 10 money at their position.
Such would be the case for the Bills with Andy Levitre, who signed for big money in Tennessee last year. However, with a high rate of player movement last year in free agency these projections indicate that every single compensatory pick this year will be awarded to teams that experienced a net loss in free agents. So teams like Buffalo (with Levitre) and Oakland (with Phillip Wheeler) would not receive a seventh round compensatory as a net value pick.
Their projection list is below with Pittsburgh and Green Bay the only clubs forecast to land picks at the end of the round three, the highest round in which a compensatory selection is given.
Don't forget to check in on our Senior Bowl coverage all next week on Buffalobills.com. Here's the latest edition of your questions on email at AskChris@bills.nfl.net and on Twitter @ChrisBrownBills.
Well, another year like all years. Just wait fans, we have something started here!!! Marrone's first mistake will be not letting Hackett go. As I have said previously, loyalty is Marrone's achilles heel. He won't know how to "can" Hackett so we are stuck with him. What really stinks is that another year has slipped away and this team still has multiple problems to address. Where do we even start with the next draft? Please don't draft another Alabama player! We let players like Levitre sign elsewhere and then we say we need to address our weakness at offensive line. Does this make any sense? It is just one wasted draft choice after another on positions we could have fixed with players already selected. When is this team going to address an age old problem at the tight end position? Successful teams have tight ends who stretch the field. When are the Bills joining the 21st century? Sad leadership to say the least. I won't even get started on the QB position.
CB: Jim, I respect the frustration. You fans have waited a while for a winner, but regarding your question on losing Levitre in free agency, keeping a player at a non-priority position at what would've been an exorbitant price ($8M plus a season) was unrealistic. Tennessee chose to spend big money on their offensive line and where did it get them?
They ranked 22nd in offense, 14th in rushing and 21st in passing. They were 19th in scoring. As coach Marrone said recently guard is position where you can develop a player into a competent to strong contributor. Offensive tackle and center are where you need the bona fide stars.
As for the tight end position, I think the new staff with GM Doug Whaley is looking to address the need for more athleticism at that spot. Tony Moeaki and Chris Gragg were the first steps in that direction. We'll see where it goes this offseason.
Concerning your criticism of Hackett I think it's misguided. Hackett had to curtail the variety and tempo of his offense to accommodate not one, but three "green" quarterbacks over the course of the year who were all spending their first year in his offensive system. Circumstances compromised his talent for calling plays. I'm confident the offense will expand and diversify considerably next season.
As always, thanks again for being a great source of Buffalo Bills information. We appreciate your feedback.
Can you explain the recent signings of 7 players to reserve/future contracts? The team moved quickly to sign these 7 right after the end of the regular season. What is this type of contract?
CB: Those contracts are typically reserved for players who were on a team's practice squad during the regular season. If the team would like to keep those players on the roster through the offseason they must be signed to a reserve/future contract. If memory serves they have a week from when their season ends to sign their practice squad players otherwise they're free to be signed away by other clubs.
Essentially players that the club believes can still be developed into something more are signed to these kinds of contracts, which are modest in nature.
With the release of WRs coach Ike Hilliard, would the Bills seriously consider bringing in Andre Reed to take over as WR coach ? I think Reed would be a great choice. Andre had great work ethic in Buffalo and was as tough as they come running routes over the middle.
CB: While I do not debate the qualities you described of Andre Reed's game, it's hard to say it's a move that will be made. His coaching resume is very, very short though he is coaching in the NFLPA bowl on Saturday. I get the sense that coach Marrone wants someone with a more lengthy coaching background.
I was looking at wide receiver free agents for this year, and I see that Eric Decker from the Broncos is a free agent after the playoffs. Would the Buffalo Bills pursue Decker and possibly make an offer?
CB: Yes, Decker is scheduled to become a free agent. I don't think there's any question that the Bills have already demonstrated a concerted effort to add size at the receiver position with the reserve/future signings of Ramses Barden (6'6") and Chris Summers (6'4 ½"). But they need a proven answer with size at receiver. Decker is certainly a proven player, but I think they want the big receiver on their offense to also be a bona fide number one target. I don't know that Decker can be that.
I feel that a lot of his production is a byproduct of the fact that opponents scheme to limit DeMaryius Thomas and Wes Welker and Decker becomes the beneficiary. Without a similar supporting cast, I'm not sure what you could count on with Decker in terms of production.
CB: While I understand your frustration in seeing talent flourish elsewhere instead of on Buffalo's roster, your Bills history is a bit cloudy. The team wanted to keep Jason Peters and were willing to renegotiate his contract, which had two years left on it, but after he held out and then threatened to hold out again the next season it was clear that keeping Peters in Buffalo was going to be monumentally difficult.
So he was traded to Philadelphia for a first, fourth and sixth-round pick. When you have a player that doesn't want to play for your team it's hard to even make them happy with more money.
As for Karlos Dansby the Bills brought him in on a free agent visit so to indicate the front office thought he was washed up is just wrong. He chose to look elsewhere to sign essentially using Buffalo to drive up the market price for his services.
Both have been accomplished players, but if they don't want to be here you're not going to win with them on your roster.
Time for the latest edition of your questions from AskChris@bills.nfl.net and on Twitter @ChrisBrownBills.
I don't see how anybody can say that the Bills are good on the offensive line. The loss of Levitre left a gaping hole there. RT is a question mark, since Pears was injured all last year, and Eric Wood seems like he might be injury prone.
CB: I think your concerns about left guard are legitimate, but beyond that Buffalo has capable players for the starting roles and depth behind them. At tackle you have Cordy Glenn on the left and Chris Hairston on the right. Erik Pears is still limited, but when healthy more than capable himself on the right side.
Kraig Urbik is your right guard with Wood in the pivot. Depth-wise you have Zebrie Sanders as a tackle guard option once healthy. Beyond that it is a green group in terms of playing experience, but that's the case for most of the league.
With the new high tempo offense, can we expect Doug Marrone to try to take a lead by choosing to receive this year?
CB: I'll have to ask him about that to be sure, but most NFL head coaches have found that the research shows if you choose to defer you typically wind up with the last possession of the first half. Obviously by deferring you also get the first possession of the second half. Those back-to-back possessions are seen as valuable in the eyes of many coaches. However, if your defense is substandard it might be wiser to choose to receive first if you win the toss. I'll see if we can get an answer on coach Marrone's philosophy on that.
Now that the draft is over and we still need some positional fills, who do you think the Bills will go after in FA to fill those voids (like OL, LB, CB)?
CB: I think cornerback could prove to be the most pressing need. Buffalo has some interesting young talent at corner among the undrafteds, but there's already a good deal of youth at the position. I wouldn't be surprised if they added a veteran to that group at some point.
My questions are about Brad Smith, I have heard he has looked good this spring as a WR. Is this his only role now or could he still be a wildcat/#3 game day QB? Will coach Marrone even employ the wildcat? If not could Smith be on the trade block at some point this off season?
Either way I wish him the best the coming season. He's a real asset as a triple threat and that seems to be something this new staff seems to value.
I hope to hear from you soon on this as I'm sure I'm not the only fan to be wondering about Brads future here. As always GO BILLS!!!
CB: Yes, Brad Smith is strictly a receiver and a return man at this point. Based on coach Marrone's comment on the Wildcat after the draft, I highly doubt we'll see it as any respectable part of Buffalo's offense.
Smith to his credit has performed well in OTA practices. He and T.J. Graham have probably benefited the most from the absence of Stevie Johnson on the practice field.
As for the trade block, I think we're a bit ahead of the game at this point. There's a lot of evaluation that needs to be done by this coaching staff.
Firstly, thank you for your coverage. As a Bills fan since 1986 living on the other side of the world, I am more than appreciative of all informed coverage.
Two quick questions: have the Bills had talks with Brandon Moore. if not, why not?
Secondly, it is all but impossible to follow college football from here. However, I have watched Keith Pough's highlights. Admittedly, highlights can be very misleading, but he looked terrific. Why was he not drafted? What chance does he have of making the team?
CB: Thanks for the kind words. To my knowledge the Bills have not talked to Brandon Moore. Obviously, Bills head coach Doug Marrone knows him extremely well. He was the Jets assistant offensive line coach, who turned him from a defensive lineman to a very successful guard on the offensive side. So there's a relationship there. At age 33, he's probably not what the Bills are looking for knowing they want to build this roster from the ground up with players that will be here for the long haul.
However, if they do not like what they feel they are getting from the guard spot you can't rule out the Bills making a phone call to the veteran.
As for Keith Pough, he's a bit undersized and did not perform well at the Combine, especially when it came to his 40 time (4.87). He also played at a lower level of college competition at Howard. That doesn't mean he can't make an NFL roster, but it discourages NFL clubs from taking a chance on him with a draft choice. Signing him as an undrafted offers less risk. I do know that the Bills are high on him among their undrafted group.
The original reports of Andy Levitre's new contract with the Tennessee Titans were inaccurate. He's actually going to make even more with the Titans.
Original reports had the contract at five years and $39M, but the latest report has the contract lasting six years for $46.8M deal. That according to the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt.
The deal for Andy Levitre with the #Titans is for 6 years, and worth $46.8 million.
The deal averages $7.8M per season.
It's not a surprising report, but with the start of free agency an hour away ESPN is reporting that Bills free agent guard Andy Levitre is a long shot to re-sign with the Bills.
ESPN AFC East blogger James Walker tweeted as much about Levitre's future.
With a handful of NFL clubs desperate for interior line help like Chicago and San Diego there's enough demand that will likely pay Levitre handsomely.
With the negotiating window now entering day 2 reports are circulating about the number of teams in pursuit of Bills impending free agent guard Andy Levitre.
According to a report by the Tennessean the Tennessee Titans are in pursuit of Levitre with additional reports suggesting the San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears have also expressed interest. Indianapolis has been mentioned as a team interested in Levitre's services too.
Naturally the Bills are also still vying to retain Levitre before he hits the free agent market officially on Tuesday afternoon.
The Chargers interest, which was reported by San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Kevin Acee makes sense for a couple of reasons.
"@utu3: Bolts pursuing Levitre? Would be nice fit next to Fisher." >So u see them trading up too? They have expressed interest in Levitre.
Levitre is a native of Santa Cruz, CA and the Chargers also employ Bills former offensive line coach Joe D'Alessandris as their new offensive line coach under new head coach Mike McCoy. D'Alessandris served in the same capacity under former Bills head coach Chan Gailey.
The Bills aren't the only team with a starting guard that's an impending free agent. The Washington Redskins had one in Cory Lichtensteiger, but he's reportedly agreed to terms and will re-sign with the club.
According to the Washington Post it's a five-year deal for Lichtensteiger, who is considered an average guard and not the caliber of Buffalo's Andy Levitre.
It's hard to say whether the deal for Lichtensteiger helps to provide a stabilizing market number for guards knowing Levitre is likely to be the highest-paid guard of the bunch this offseason.
SI.com's Peter King has put out his top 50 NFL free agents list for the impending market, which opens Tuesday afternoon. And he's got Bills free agent guard Andy Levitre in his top 5 overall.
King has Levitre ranked as the fourth-best free agent player and top offensive lineman. Here was his assessment of Levitre.
He's played all five positions on the line, and he's a great team guy. Solid, solid.
King isn't the first to speculate that Indianapolis will be very interested in Levitre. The Colts are looking to solidify the line for their franchise quarterback.
Bills GM Buddy Nix shared his thoughts on the team's own free agents while out at the NFL Combine. Though Jairus Byrd and Andy Levitre are likely high priorities, in a perfect world he'd like to re-sign them all.
In a morning appearance on WGR Sportsradio 550, Nix stated a desire to keep all of their free agents including CB Leodis McKelvin.
"Leodis is a guy we'd like to keep," said Nix.
And while re-signing all of their unrestricted free agents would be fine with Nix, he also realizes that may not happen.
Andy Levitre is a pretty humble player. He's supremely confident in his abilities and believes his game is better now than it was two years ago, when it was still pretty good. But Levitre, who discussed his free agency in Bills Focus today, is far from satisfied with his personal game.
Levitre admitted that Eric Wood has already been recruiting him to re-sign with the Bills. They also share the same agent.
There are a handful of Bills players that were selected for the ProFootballFocus all AFC East team.
Their choices were the ones most would expect. Here's who appeared on their squad and what PFF wrote about them.
It wasn't his fault he received only 207 carries. However, he can take full responsibility for making the most of those carries, ending the year with a league leading 94.6 Elusive Rating after forcing 66 missed tackles from his 250 touches of the ball.
We wanted to put a fullback in here, but there really wasn't one in this division that either played enough, or played well enough. That made life a lot easier for us, going with Hartline and Johnson, with Welker working from the slot. All three ranked in our Top 30 for receiving grades by wide outs, and each of them put in a 1,000 yard season.
There was a legitimate case for both Richie Incognito and Logan Mankins here. As good as Levitre was in pass protection (and he was very good), he really failed to consistently get much movement in the run game. In the end though, his competition just didn't do enough to oust him. At right guard, Moore finished the season playing as well as any lineman, ending the year our third ranked right guard.
A controversial decision here with Vince Wilfork missing out. While he was dominant at times, there weren't many games Williams or Wilkerson didn't have their way with interior linemen. The more complete player of the two is the Bill, whose relentless play results in plenty of pressure (45 quarterback disruptions, ranking third among all defensive tackles). Wilkerson plays as a defensive end for the Jets in their 3-4 alignment, but the way he can get off interior blocks is something to behold. He had 46 defensive stops in the run game, second among all defensive linemen.
Byrd is going to be paid a lot of money, and very soon. There aren't many ballhawking safeties like the Bill, who has the kind of range that should scare quarterbacks for years to come. He had our highest coverage grade of all safeties and was ranked second overall this year. That's one spot above Jones, who missed too many tackles in the second half of the year, but became a real playmaker for Miami.
It could very easily have been Marcus Thigpen, with the two men one and two in our returner rankings.

The Cramps' 'Goo Goo Muck' enjoys resurgence after 'Wednesday' inclusion
Arun Starkey
Mon 5th Dec 2022 12.00 GMT
The Addams Family spin-off Wednesday is currently the most popular show on Netflix. It tells the story of the titular daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams as she navigates a new social setting at the school for outcasts, Nevermore Academy, and attempts to uncover a string of murders she is mysteriously connected to.
The show has been a resounding success, with fans already anticipating the second season just two weeks after it premiered on the streaming service.
There were many memorable moments on Wednesday, but the dance scene that features 'Goo Goo Muck' by The Cramps is the most talked-about. Here we see Wednesday deliver a goth-inspired dance for her love interest, Tyler. The scene has been so impactful that the song has had a 50-fold streaming surge in the US.
'Goo Goo Muck' is a highlight of The Cramps' 1981 album Psychedelic Jungle, with it originally released by Ronnie Cook and The Gaylads in 1962.
Per Billboard, before the show's premiere on November 23rd, The Cramps' track sat at 2,500 daily on-demand streams in the US, and in the five days after, the figure multiplied over 5000%, reaching 134,000 daily US streams by November 28th. Presently, it has nearly 10 million streams.
Although 'Goo Goo Muck' is enjoying its most popular period to date, Jim Shaw, who owns the publishing rights to the song, claimed that the amount that Netflix licensed it for was "an average payment for TV use."
Shaw acquired the rights in 2001, and was approached by the streaming service last year, with him expressing that the track's resurgence is "a really amazing, fun little bonanza".
Notably, Wednesday features a host of great music, with tracks from Beach House, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, and Dua Lipa, bringing the world of Wednesday Addams to life.

To respond to the enormous expectation of the organizer, Akari-Lisa Ishii and Motoko Ishii, Art Directors of the thematic exhibition, selected some lighting materials exclusively (readymade or order-made, light source, luminous material, artistic applications, control technologies etc.) in order to demonstrate the « musts » to know for the targeted visitors and journalists.
Our stand will consist of 6 rooms. Each of them explains, in its own way, the play of the visible and the invisible in the light.
As you walk along the red carpet of the main road of the fair, you will see from afar this elegant and unique luminous object named "Silk Fall", made of white kimono fabric, and variation of light effects. Intrigued, as you approach, you can discover the subtle play of light inside the fabric of this original monumental suspension, created especially for the event. Then, when the colored light is projected from the outside of the tissues, the inner luminous drops disappear.
After the first surprise, you will see around other objects, playing on the magical aspects of lights: OLED panels to touch, pyramids of artistic light but also an innovative projector that invites you to follow its beam to discover an unknown facet of Niagara Falls at night.
portées sur le mur, le lettrage thématique de l'exposition. C'est un concept de « lustre revisité » conçu spécialement pour Maison&Objet. Un texte introductif sera non pas imprimé mais projeté car la lumière peut aussi faire apparaître les messages vous éclairant sur ce que vous voyez…. Deux vidéos complémentaires des œuvres des designers de l'expo viendront compléter l'ensemble afin de vous faire découvrir des projets d'éclairage à d'autres échelles.
Pour jouer complétement la carte de l'immatérialité, notre lustre inédit est créé grâce à un nouveau spot de plafond qui peut lui aussi apparaître et disparaitre. Le projecteur d'images est également une nouveauté nipponne, extrêmement compacte et applicable sur un rail d'éclairage (comme d'autres spots plus conventionnels).
But thanks to the magic of light, you will see different elements appear. We will discover that the crystal chandelier is in fact skillfully arranged to form, through its shadows on the wall, the theme of the exhibition. It is a revised chandelier concept specially designed for this exhibition. An introductory text will not be printed but projected because the light can also reveal the messages enlightening you on what you see .... Two complementary videos of the works of the Designers will let you discover lighting projects on other scales.
To completely play the game immateriality, we also present a series of new spotlights which can also appear and disappear. The image projector is also an compact new product, applicable on a lighting track (like other conventional spots).
After the art of minimalism, you will get to this space simulating a hotel room.
This modular effect is achieved by the extremely compact projectors mounted on the light track.
In addition, the luminous atmosphere can also change according to the circadian rhythm. Nearly invisible tiny spots hidden in the ceiling change the tone of white from the cold (zenithal daylight) to warm (sunset). And the level of illumination follows the movement of the day!
When you will notice the round luminaire symbolizing utility corner whose mirror hanging on the wall becomes invisible when this wall bracket fixture turns on.
What do they have in particular? They are totally transparent but the lighting fixture fixed on the surface turns on!
Indeed, despite the absence of visible electrical wires, they are powered by an entirely new technology of conductive materiel placed inside the glass. A totally innovative product that deserves this presentation as an artwork.
Around you, tissues of optic fibers of large surface form luminous partitions.
Here you will be absorbed by a sculpture of light in diptych placed in the center of this room. It invites you to a hypnotic visual experience, an original creation specially produced for this space. Half-mirrored glass tubes reflect the luminous points infinitely and make non-existent light exist!
And there you will also find the great projection of Niagara Falls by night, illuminated by the spots exposed at exit of the room. The projected light unveils a unknown facet of the Falls. Make a sensory and luminous journey. Immerse yourself in this lighting that unveils the nature in a never-seen scale.

The high-performance Maestro II Series processor guarantees that photographers will never miss even the fastest-moving subject, and that the camera responds instantaneously to all commands. Combined with the 2GB buffer memory, the processor makes it possible to capture consecutive exposures at rates of up to 11 frames per second at full 24 MP resolution, and 4K video with a frame rate of 30 frames per second. Pictures can be saved simultaneously to an SD card in both JPEG and DNG format, in line with the fast UHS II standard. Thanks to this exceptionally fast processor, the Leica SL achieves the best performance currently possible in the professional camera category, and further highlights the innovative nature of the camera.
The Leica SL's 24 MP CMOS full-frame sensor guarantees impressive dynamic range, excellent contrast rendition, exceptional sharpness, the highest resolution, and noise-free images in almost all lighting conditions. The shutter provides speeds from 30 minutes to 1/8000 sec. The sensor reveals its full potential in combination with Leica SL lenses, especially in available-light situations, and captivates users with atmospheric exposures in superior quality at ISO settings up to a maximum of 50,000. Furthermore, the Leica SL is optimised for use with Leica M-Lenses and, in addition to supporting all their functionality, delivers the excellent picture quality with which Leica has been synonymous for more than 100 years.
The Leica SL is much more than a professional still-picture camera with video recording capability: it fulfils even the most stringent demands of moviemakers as a fully-fledged video camera. Thanks to its 24 MP CMOS sensor and high-performance Maestro II series processor, the Leica SL enables the production of professional videos in 4K resolution. Videos can be recorded in UHD at 30 frames per second or even in Cine4K at 24 frames per second.
In full HD, the Leica SL records video at up to 120 frames per second and makes use of the entire sensor area. Here, the logical and intuitive handling of the camera makes a clear distinction between still- and motion-picture recording. As soon as the camera is in video mode, the display shows only the relevant information for video, such as safe area, aspect ratio, zebra function or the recording level of the microphone. An optional audio adapter allows the user to connect an external microphone and the audio recording level can be set without accessing the menu. Videos can be output in 4:2:2 10-bit format in 4K resolution over HDMI 1.4.
From the beginning, resilience and durability were a key focus in the development of the Leica SL. Body components machined from solid aluminium, and precisely-engineered seals around the controls and in the lenses, provide optimum protection for the sensitive technology inside against dust, moisture and spray. Furthermore, the integrated ultrasonic sensor cleaning function removes dust and dirt from the sensor, when required. The glass covering the back panel display is extremely scratch-resistant and features an anti-reflex coating. All these properties make the camera an ideal tool for use in the challenging conditions faced by professional photographers on a daily basis.

No Meat Equals No Meet For Bridegroom Who Was Promised Meat At His Wedding
Christina George
The recent meat ban has caused problems of almost epic proportions in UP with serious felonies and lawlessness occurring in certain instances. However, this instance, while epic in its own way, luckily didn't have as serious ramifications. A wedding in a Muzaffarnagar village was called off at the 11th hour, all because the bride's family couldn't provide non-vegetarian food.
In a complaint to the police, the family of bride Naghma said they had informed groom Rizwan that they may not be able to serve non-vegetarian food because of non-availability of buffalo meat, a fallout of the crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses.
But Rizwan got irritated when he found that the bride's side was serving only vegetarian food to his friends and relatives, claimed the complaint filed at the Bhopa police station.
He claimed that it was agreed to serve non-vegetarian food, including kebab, korma and biryani (come on fam, you have to honour your meat promises!)
"Rizwan's family has been consistently pressuring me to serve them a non-vegetarian dish of their choice. Buffalo meat is not available because of which I have been telling them that I will not be able to fulfil their demand," the complaint said.
Straying from the topic quite a bit, a friend of Rizwan also wanted to know why a motorcycle promised by Naghma's family in dowry was not being provided, which led to a clash between the two sides. The village panchayat was called in and even as it tried resolving the matter, Naghma called off the marriage (yes, you go girl!)
However, this is the land of Bollywood, and sometimes, just sometimes the magic manifests. A local youth, Asif, said he was willing to marry Naghma without any non-vegetarian food and dowry (wow, bless his soul, how generous of him), which she accepted.
According to Sukshma Prakash, circle officer of the Bhopa Police station: "Naghma's family called the police when the two families fought, but the matter was sorted by the village panchayat." He said Naghma's father Ishtiyaq registered a formal complaint.
Meat, especially buffalo meat, has been in short supply in Uttar Pradesh ever since the Yogi Adityanath government banned and sealed almost 90% of the slaughterhouses as they were allegedly functioning without a proper licence. If it wasn't enough that our beefy cravings weren't satisfied, now they're standing in the way of love?

Fiberoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing safety: a new procedure.
This was the first published study of a new procedure using flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy to evaluate swallowing. The protocol was described, indications for the exam and scoring of findings were presented. (Note: the editors of the journal insisted that the name of the new procedure be FEESS stating that it could assess "swallow safety" but not 'swallowing itself".
We largely ignored this advice but kept the second 'S' in this single article to please the editors.
Presence of spillage, residue, penetration, and aspiration were determined from FEES exams compared to fluoroscopy exams given to the same patients with dysphagia. Comparing FEES to fluoroscopy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive values for the FEES exams were very high, indicating that these bolus findings were very similar in the 2 exams.
69 participants including young, healthy adults, elderly healthy adults, and elderly hospitalized patients were given a FEES exam. Prior to delivering food or liquid, secretion status was scored. The hospitalized patients were the only group that included some subjects with excess secretions in the laryngeal vestibule. Those patients with laryngeal secretions were the only participants who aspirated food or liquid, suggesting that laryngeals secretions are highly predictive of aspiration.
Laryngeal sensation: a touchy subject.
Role of flexible laryngoscopy for evaluating aspiration.
A review of the literature compared fluoroscopy to endoscopy up to 2003. Both exams were revealed to be valuable and the term 'gold standard' applied to fluoroscopy was deemed inappropriate. Both examinations were in need of standardization.
Four healthy young volunteers were studied to better understand the timing of events to attain airway closure during the swallow. Hook wire EMG, endoscopy, and respiratory signals were utilized. Airway closure began with arytenoid medial and anterior movement, followed by epiglottic retroflexion, and finally by adduction of the true vocal folds. This was in contrast to the order of airway closure for breath holding which started with VF closure. The super supraglottic swallow was able to alter the normal order of events.
The Boston residue and clearance scale: preliminary reliability and validity testing.
An ordinal scale for rating residue and clearance from a FEES exam was developed and called BRACS (Boston Residue and Clearance Scale). Initial reliability and internal validity were determined from the ratings given to 63 sample swallows by 4 raters. BRACS showed excellent inter-rater reliability and high concurrent validity and internal consistency.
The effects of topical anesthetic on swallowing during nasoendoscopy.
This was the first of a 3-part study that assessed whether the use of lidodaine in a FEES exam affected swallow function and /or led to greater patient comfort. 25 healthy normal subjects were given 1 ml of lidocaine or a sham spray prior to a FEES exam. There was a significant rise in the PAS scores in the lidocaine condition, suggesting that the anesthetic did affect swallowing. However, the anesthesia condition was rated significantly more comfortable than the sham condition by the participants.
This was the second of a 3 part study that assessed whether the use of lidodaine in a FEES exam affected swallow function and /or led to greater patient comfort. In this study, 25 patients with dysphagia were examined and the dosage of lidocaine was dropped to 0.5ml of iidocaine. Either the anesthetic or a sham spray were administered. There was no significant difference in the PAS scorse in the 2 conditions but it was 'nearly' significant. Self-rated patient comfort was significantly better in the anesthetic condition.
Effect of lidocaine on swallowing during FEES in patients with dysphagia.
O'Dea M, Langmore S, Krisciunas G, Walsh M, Zanchetti L, Scheel R, McNally E, Kaneoka A, Guarino A. Annals of Otol Rhin Laryn 2014 31 Oct.
This was the third in a series that assessed whether the use of lidocaine in a FEES exam affected swallow function and/or led to greater patient comfort. In this study, the dosage of lidocaine was dropped to 0.1 ml . There was no true sham condition but rather adminiatration of 0.1 ml of neosynephrine nasal decongestant. 17 patients with dysphagia were given a FEES. There were no significant differerences in PAS scores for any of the bolus consistencies in the 2 conditions but the patients rated the anesthetized condition significantly more comfortable. This suggests that 0.5ml of lidocaine applied to one nares as a topical anesthesia does not adversely affect swallowing in patients with dysphagia and it makes the exam more comfortable for many persons.
A Comparison of 2 Methods of Endoscopic Laryngeal Sensory Testing: A Preliminary Study.
Following a FEES exam, a comparison of the air pulse method and the touch method for testing sensory awareness was carried out with 14 patients with dysphagia. Results showed that the air pulse method was more sensitive to detecting sensory impairment but that only the touch method was significantly associated with penetration of liquid boluses during the FEES exam.

The Gatekeepers to India
It is said that our country is divided into an India and a Bharat. I hate this terminology because it is unnecessarily pejorative towards "Bharat", but let's go with it for now. �These two nations are often identified with Urban and Rural India respectively, but sometimes the borders are not so clearly geographical. Some people say that the border is in fact between the rich and the poor. I believe that there are in fact two nations, but the line of separation is different from what is commonly assumed. �On one side is India, a nation that exists�in spite�of government hindrance. �On the other side is Bharat, �a country that�would not�have existed in its current state without the overbearing presence of government.
Guarding the frontier between the two countries are the Gatekeepers. They are a loose coalition of politicians, government offiicials, NGOs and other activists, caste and community leaders, local strongmen, industrialists, and the like. The Gatekeepers may have access to the levers of government, the capability for violence, or both, to achieve their end. �The Gatekeepers guard both countries against each other. To the Indians, they say that they are protecting them against the hordes from Bharat. To the Bharatiyas, they say that they are preventing the evil Indians from encroaching on their domain, and ensuring that the wealth created in India is equitably distributed.
All internal conflict in our country involves Bharat, India and the Gatekeepers. In fact, there are five types of such conflicts. In the first type, the Gatekeepers collect toll from the Bharatiyas who wish to cross over to India. �One of the most popular ways to cross the border is via education, and naturally education is the controlled the most by the Gatekeepers. They extract a heavy toll from anyone who wishes to start schools or colleges, and generally keep the right to run educational institutions with themselves. Then they offer "reservations" in these institutions to the Bharatiyas to make it sound like they are leading an assault on the gates that they themselves built.�The Right to Education Act is the latest example of this. It hinders those who wish to open private schools that will serve the Bharatiyas and forces schools that serve the Indians to reserve 25% of their seats for the Bharatiyas. That way, the Gatekeepers will collect ransom from both types of schools and votes from the Bharatiyas.
The second kind of conflict is where gatekeepers collect ransom from the Indians to leave them alone. There is no lack of examples of this type of conflict in the field of business and industry, but �another less obvious example is moral policing. It is a poorly kept secret that most moral policing, attacks on pubs and on Valentine�s day cards is actually thinly veiled extortion.
The third kind involves Indians engaging the Gatekeepers as their agents to extort from the Bharatiyas. If an Indian wishes to buy agricultural land to build a factory, he cannot buy it from the Bharatiyas directly. He has to get it through the Gatekeepers, who expropriate it for him. Then other Gatekeepers lead agitations against this. Restrictions on the use of land, the fact that land ownership is a complete mess, and the agitations all serve to drive up the cost of land. The benefit of that does not go to those who possess the land, but to the Gatekeepers.
The fourth kind of conflict involves attempts by the Gatekeepers to annex parts of India into Bharat. This usually flows from the second and third kinds of conflict and is often hard to distinguish from them. Often, ransom demands by the Gatekeepers get transformed into attempts at complete control – this is made easier by misguided attempts by Indians to get the Gatekeepers to fight their battles for them. Instances �of this conflict can be found in any of the partially regulated, partly free industries, such as Banking, Telecom or Aviation.
Internal conflict within Bharat over who gets to be Gatekeeper is the fifth and the oldest kind. Within Bharat, the gatekeepers are the arbiters of the Bharatiyas' destiny. Much of politics involves this kind of conflict, where you fight elections on the premise of securing benefits for your own caste or class. �Till liberalization, India was too small to loot from, and the only recourse for the gatekeepers was to extort from different sections within Bharat on behalf of their preferred section. This eventually proved unsustainable, so the other kinds of conflicts were developed. The conflict over job reservation is, in fact, an example of one that started off as this kind, i.e. as a conflict over government jobs, but which has now moved to the private sector, i.e. conflict no. 2 or 4.
All political, social and economic issues in India can be understood in terms of these conflicts – either singly or in combination. The commonly held view that divides India into two countries is not wrong, but oversimplified. It ignores the presence of the Gatekeepers. The common refrain that India should heed the cries of the Bharatiyas who are standing at the gates of India is misguided, because responding to it involves paying off the Gatekeepers and throwing crumbs at the Bharatiyas. The need of the hour is to drive away the Gatekeepers and to throw open the Gates.

If you have a hunch, please also have the humility to not call it an Hypothesis. Worse a theory.
The arrogance of generalization made me bail out somewhere in the 3rd paragraph. I wonder what the mean of such bail out is.
Yuvamani says:
Great post. Yes nobody talks about the gatekeepers…
But separating India into only 2 is a tad too simplistic and lazy. I think there are many many Indias and the Gatekeepers control access to and from each one. Many times the gatekeepers are different, Sometimes the gatekeepers are the same (more powerful gatekeepers control access to multiple gates)
Managing only 1 gatekeeper is far more simple than dealing with multiple toll booths.
Ritwik says:
Another good one. And Nilu!? It's 2006 again.

The Marriage Celebration
The location of the wedding, specifically the arches, impressed the designer, Catherine Walker, who gave Lady Helen's marriage ceremony gown its unique extensive neckline and short sleeves. Designed by Cristóbal Balenciaga, her wedding costume featured a excessive neckline trimmed in ermine fur, and three-quarter size sleeves with a drop waist and a full skirt. Queen Soraya of Iran married Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on February 12, 1951 and Marble Palace in Tehran.

Fellow bloggers had been quick to chime in and criticize the bride-to-be for her rudeness. Her diatribe went on to deal with questions she had evidently been asked too many occasions.
During a faculty trip, the ladies took a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul and crossed into Syria by bus. Begum travelled on her older sister's passport and wore a leopard-print scarf. The British police encouraged the girls' households to publicize their disappearance, within the hope of fixing their minds.
It reveals the power of the press in essentially the most unlikely matters and suggests a broader definition of the wartime expertise. They do not make use of a lot make-up, and plenty of instances never ever makes use of them. They love their pure appearance, and it's a man's joy to see their spouse gorgeous with or without makeups. And although Brits do not dress much, however when they are doing, everybody will appreciate them. Britain could be the residence of several of the glamorous women we perceive of today. Due to this, foreign males love them and can want to be associated to them.
Princess Martha-Louise and Ari Behn of Norway were married in Trondheim, Norway on May 24, 2002.
