Glowing 'Sunset'
By Michael Sragow
Richard Linklater's Before Sunset is a vibrant emotional epic about a man and a woman talking as they stroll in and out of a cafe, a garden path and a tourist boat during the waning hours of a beautiful Parisian afternoon. Only the physical weather is placid. If the co-writer-director, Richard Linklater, could draw a meteorological map of this couple's romantic fluctuations, the screen would ripple with isobars and isotherms and wildly shifting temperatures.
In Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995), Ethan Hawke's Jesse was a twentysomething American rambling through the Continent on a Eurail pass, and Julie Delpy's Celine was a student at the Sorbonne. They met on a train and got off at Vienna and spent the hours before sunrise falling in love while hashing out the meaning of life. Whether they would end up sleeping together (whether they did becomes a comic question in this film) was less important (at least to us) than how they lit up their common space. Hawke and Delpy conjured a nimbus of yearning and delight. With the divine self-consciousness of youth, Jesse and Celine recognized the uniqueness of their bond and didn't want to sully it.
Rather than exchange phone numbers and addresses and vow to keep in touch across the Atlantic, they promised to meet each other in Vienna six months hence. Before Sunset takes place nine years, not a half-year later, in Paris, not Vienna. All a reviewer can reveal without diminishing an audence's delight is that they didn't hook up six months after they met back in 1995. Each viewer should have the pleasure of learning why that appointment didn't pan out, and how Jesse and Celine come to trust each other again.
Anyone who fell under the first film's spell immediately hopes that these two get together here. But even those who haven't seen Before Sunrise will feel their gravitational pull. The atmosphere they brew in Before Sunset is more mysterious and changeable than the dizzying effervescence of the first film, their connections more like shocks of recognition than jolts of discovery.
Movies usually pay smeary lip service to intimacy while aiming straight for the glands, the heartstrings or the tear-ducts. But Before Sunset is about rebuilding love by tapping into shared insights and instincts and a joint appetite for magic. Linklater fills this one-night-stand reunion film with a piercing, bittersweet wit. Even when it's silly, it's profound.
Linklater brings subcutaneous suspense to this tale of people who respond urgently to each other before they conventionally know each other. At the first movie's conclusion, Jesse said he felt as if he and Celine were emerging back into "real time." Before Sunset really does unfold in real time - an hour and 20 minutes, starting with Jesse promoting his successful new novel at Shakespeare and Co. when Celine ambles into sight. Jesse's flight home hangs over their heads the whole time. Like Celine and Jesse, a viewer wonders from the start whether they can regain their rapport while playing beat the clock.
They do, and how that affinity takes new form and where it leads are matters of constant surprise. The movie depicts the jarring yet still hopeful experience of facing an erotic ideal when he or she suddenly becomes real. Jesse and Celine have followed opposite trajectories, even though they've never stopped thinking of each other. Celine is an environmental activist with an often-absent war-photojournalist boyfriend. Jesse is more in love with his 4-year-old son than with his schoolteacher wife. He's become an acclaimed fiction writer, but the cheery bio on his book-flap masks his true unhappiness. And reading his novel has ignited raw dissatisfactions in Celine about her loss of amorous optimism. Their conversations have the rhythms and the rippling undercurrents of colloquial, contemporary poetry. The characters' clashing notions of public and private nobility and the shape of the world weave in and out of their flirtatious feints and parries.
Near the beginning, Jesse muses to reporters about writing a new novel with a time-folding premise; it may sound arbitrary, but it provides the key to the enigmatic alchemy of Before Sunset. In Jesse's idea for a plot, a man sees his 5-year-old daughter dancing on a table and then flashes to his high-school sweetheart dancing on a car roof. "He knows he is not remembering this dance. He is there - he is there in both moments simultaneously. In fact he pulls away from a kiss with the girlfriend so as not to offend his daughter. Both moments are real, happening together. For a moment all his life is folding in and it's obvious to him that time is a lie."
In Before Sunset, you feel the pastness and presentness of this man and this woman in every gesture, and their aspirations for the future, too. Hawke's more chiseled look fits the hard edges that now surround Jesse's affability. Hawke has become an actor with the dimension and capability to convey passion in thought as well as feeling; Jesse overflows with both.
And Delpy is downright torrential, mastering a verbal rush and a physical lyricism that's all the more expressive because, most of the time, Celine doesn't want to break loose. When Celine moves to caress Jesse - and then pulls back, before he can see her doing it - the instant of non-contact has the impact of a crushing body blow. Before Sunset asks the great pop question, "What becomes of the broken-hearted?" and answers it with scenes of surpassing romantic consolation. It's a perfect date movie for adults.

This – one of umpteen rejections foisted upon me over the years – just confirms what has been niggling my noddle lately. Such a rebuke – stern but to be expected – is, essentially, cancelling out my worth as a wordsmith. On a major motion picture.
Why, oh why, so much unrestrained hostility? Don't tell me: this is the Age Of Outrage.
"For, in their savage ignorance, they feel only hatred for any among them who may seem… different! They long for peace, yet gird for war! They search for love, yet harbour hate!" – The Silver Surfer.
"By living life for itself, don't you see? Deriving pleasure from the gift of pure being," remarked the nameless Martian, last custodian of his long-vanished civilization.
Following the sickening terrorism act a few months ago in Manchester (where my degree was gained!), and again as the appalling news from Virginia broke over this past weekend, this beautiful sequence of dialogue (from The Martian Chronicles 1979 TV adaptation, written by Richard Matheson) returned to my fevered mind.
All too easily, these sage Martian words are simply ignored. Hate, regrettably, has become far too common and rampant. Rather than wallow in the throes of despair, these atrocities invigorate me to produce a unique brand of positive, entertaining and thoroughly wholesome fare at a more exponential rate.
Out of the multifarious dark and evil acts committed around this Pale Blue Dot, projects of ever-increasing worth and vitality have prevailed. Consider this impressive history: disillusioned by the collapse of the short-lived New Republic in 17th century England, James Milton wrote Paradise Lost; disturbed by the horrors he experienced at the Western Front, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien fought off the nightmares by "escaping" to Middle-Earth and creating an epic fantasy saga called The Lord Of The Rings.
In turn, yours truly has had to stem an incessant surge in personal, social and economic problems by summoning the last vestiges of his resilience to produce evermore entertaining reams of writing (that you will enjoy here shortly!).
"The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees" – T.H. White.
This writers' tip has held particular resonance these past few months. Having vowed to pay more attention to my levels of description, injecting all the right feels into my fiction no longer pose any problems. Considering what we have had to endure over the past eighteen difficult months, my work can now exude a heavier, more personal, more loaded edge.
To me, if my "path of creation" is hindered, an alternative route is taken… but my physical and mental batteries are now so depleted that finding the energy and enthusiasm to concoct something as ridiculously easy-peasy as a comics review devolved into an unnecessary struggle. But do not fret, my friends!
It's official: Brad is on the rebound!
Bingo, fella, whaddya think this writer has been doin'?! 'Tis the only skill @ th mo at which he excels… bah!
Seriously though: the key is to settle into the right room as well as the right frame of mind. You'll be delighted to learn that a number of intriguing new projects have emerged on my Dashboard! Granted, the first few drafts looked messy and confused – understandable, bearing in mind what woes and worries hung heavy on my mind – but, as all exterior tensions faded (meditation, plus mocha and blueberry muffins, usually help) and my senses gradually immersed into blissful concentration, my compositions evolved into something more groovy and coherent.
Cultures shape values, and those values shape history; therefore, our values shape our future. However, repugnant values have brought on these antipathetic and violent times; they have been allowed to fester by the very same factions of ignorance directly responsible for denying me my vocational and socio-economic progress.
Politicians talk loud, but never say anything positive or progressive to help me.
Still, this migraine is worth the effort.
"…Live as well as possible, expect no more. Destroy nothing, humble nothing, look for fault in nothing, leave unsullied and untouched all that is beautiful.
"Hold that which lives in all reverence, for life is given by the Sovereign Of Our Universe, given to be savoured, to be luxuriated in, to be… respected…" – The Martian.
"Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart" – Confucius.
Well, after a hard day scanning a computer screen, the last thing one wants to do on the way home is view an even smaller one! An older Samsung to chat/speak w Mrs. B. will suffice for the time being, thanks.
Reached that stage in my life where so-called "friends" no longer keep in touch, so there is no incentive to get sloshed socialise any more.
If you could speak any language you don't currently speak, what would it be?
If you could (or had to) live anywhere other than where you currently live, where would it be?
If you were famous — and could choose why you were famous — what would you be famous for?
If you had to die for a cause, belief or ideal what would it be?
If you could be on the first spacecraft to Mars (and make it back to Earth in your natural lifetime) would you?
Okay, weird answer: of course! But what on Earth would make me want to make it back?!
1.Which comic book character should get his/her own movie?
2. What is your favourite Joy Division song?
3. Who would play you in the movie of your life?
4. What is the Worst Movie Ever Made?
5. If you could go back in time, when/where would you go?
"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve" – Max Planck.

What's at Stake? A Livable Climate Future
General, Global Issues / By Joel Koerner
Americans will soon vote in an election with unprecedented stakes. The outcome of the presidential and Congressional races will determine whether this country continues its rapid descent into xenophobia, isolationism, and climate nihilism—or whether we open a doorway of possibility to a better future.

My Journey to South Africa
<3 & Impact
Thursday was our last day at Kalksteinfontein primary school. My colleague, Felicia (top right), and I returned to the fourth grade class we were in Tuesday and Wednesday. Felicia and I taught an English lesson which we began by sharing information about our lives in America. We ended our lesson by having our learners write letters to Felicia's American students. Thursday, in the midst of sharing about my life, helping students write in English, beat boxing and taking pictures during breaks, and sharing my contact information with a bustling crowd of students, a lesson continued to form in my heart. This lesson has been about love and impact. It began to form when I first met 11 year old LeeAnn on the plane two weeks ago and witnessed how she immediately began to look up to Melissa. It developed when I stood before 10th graders at Stanza Bopape Secondary school last week and has continued to form through my multiple interactions with hundreds of South African learners and multiple school visits throughout the course of this trip. Teachers have a noble job. Each day, teachers have an opportunity to impact young minds that will impact the world. In addition, despite the challenges my country may face, America is still admired by many. Many Americans, especially those filled with love, have an opportunity to impact the lives of people, young and old, in other countries.
Students dancing to a drum beat
Cipher session during break
The idea of music being an international language has really come to life since We've arrived in Cape Town on Sunday. We have visited over 4 different schools within the past 3 days and have witnessed everything from learners dancing with cans and sticks and stumping with boots and hard hats, to students singing in a choir and playing musical instruments. The most powerful musical experience, however, has taken place at Kalksteinfontein Primary School here in Cape Town. Prior to arriving on campus, we were told that Afrikaans was the first language for the large majority of learners at Kalksteinfontein (English being their second language). This became evident soon after trying to engage learners in conversation during their break for free time on Tuesday. During the break, however, the communication barrier between the learners and I was suddenly removed once I learned that one of the students in class was beat boxing while doing his class work. I immediately began showing my beat boxing skills to the students. Within seconds, I was surrounded by about 20 learners (some listening in and others rapping). What was supposed to be a short 10 minute break, turned into 20 minutes. To my surprise (and fault) the teacher extended the break due to the student's engagement with the spontaneous cipher session taking place in the back of the classroom. Within the last 2 days, there have been about 10 cipher sessions. Students have assigned me the role of designated beat maker and the learners, boys and girls, rap in Afrikaans! Though I do not understand their language, I feel myself connecting with these learners in a powerful way when I make beats with my mouth and they rap. To top things off, the lesson Felicia (a fellow SAI participant) and I introduced today, started off with everyone singing "Baby" by Justin Bieber. The learners knew all the words and spoke fluently as they sung.

From Joburg to Cape Town!
Table mountain in Cape Town
Today we left the Hyatt Regency in Johannesburg and flew to Cape Town. Here in Cape Town, the Rutgers team and I are staying at an African Villa. It is a home that has been transformed into a hotel. The team and I will be spending the next and final week here in Cape Town.
The Soweto Uprising
Picture with Antoinette Sithole (sister of Hector Pieterson)
Hector Pieterson being carried by Mbuyisa Makhubo
The Soweto Uprisings was a series of high school student-led protests in South Africa that began the morning of June 16, 1976. Students from numerous Sowetan schools began to protest in the streets of Soweto, in response to the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in local schools. About 20,000 students took part in the protests, 700 were killed and another 4,000 were injured.
Friday, instead of returning to Stanza Bopape Secondary School, we traveled to the Hector Pieterson Museum in Soweto. The Hector Pieterson museum was created to honor Hector Pieterson and other youth who were killed during the Soweto Uprising. To our surprise, while walking through the museum, we received word that Antoinette Sithole (the sister of Hector Pieterson) was present and she agreed to share her story with us. For her, sharing the story of the death of her younger brother has been a part of a healing process. To the above right, is the famous picture of Hector Pieterson being carried by Mbuyisa Makhubo after being shot by South African police. Antoinette Sithole runs beside them. Pieterson was rushed to a local clinic and declared dead on arrival.
Both educator and learner
Thursday was an important day. I returned to Stanza Bopape Secondary School and had the opportunity to interact with 10th grade learners. For the past 3 years, I have wondered what such an opportunity would be like. I walked into class a bit nervous as the morning activities called for me to be flexible. Despite not having a solid lesson plan, my purpose was two-fold and clear. As an educator, I wanted the learners to be informed about life in the U.S. And as a learner, I positioned myself to learn more about South Africa from them. I called on learners to ask questions about the U.S. and share one thing they wanted me to know about South Africa.
Learners asked good questions concerning language, religion, circumcision, music, wealth in America exc. When I asked the learners to share one thing they wanted me to know, many learners made an effort to ensure that I felt welcome. One of the written responses embodies the sentiment of the majority, "I want you to know that you're welcome in Stanza Bopape Secondary School with warm arms and a big smile on our face. We like having you here!!!"
Managing things well.
Wednesday was an amazing day! The Rutgers group and I traveled to the National Zoological Garden (NZG) of South Africa. The NZG is considered one of the top zoos in the world and is located in Pretoria. Our tour guide, Mrs. Vee (seen above in red) was full of energy as she, and other staff, drove us around in golf carts to see the animals and research facilities. Some of the animals we saw Wednesday included: tigers (one of them white), komodo dragons, crocodiles, giraffes, lions, gorillas and rhinos. For lunch, we were taken to a den near the elephants and dined as the Elephants passed by. I had one of those frequent, "WOW, I'm in Africa" moments.
In addition to eating with the elephants, the group and I transferred from the Protea Hotel in Pretoria to the Hyatt Regency in Johannesburg. Both hotels are gorgeous. I've seen South Africans managing the hotels and the zoo better than any other hotel and zoo I've ever been to. People are very humble and take pride in providing the best service possible.
Mandela is even more extraordinary...
The Rutgers team and I travelled to schools within Pretoria today. I attended Stanza Bopape Secondary School and had the opportunity to interact with learners and teachers. I had the opportunity to talk extensively with Mr. Simon (seen on the left) a Physics teacher. Mr. Simon has been teaching for about 10 years in South Africa and today was only his second day at Stanza Bopape. Mr. Simon was a great guy and answered many questions about education and politics in South Africa. As Maudivi (a Rutgers student) and I talked to Mr. Simon, I found our discussions about education and corruption within the ANC most informative.
After returning to the hotel, after school was over, all the participants debriefed concerning our days at school. I mentioned how I felt unwelcomed by some who may have viewed me as an outsider.
We ended the night, upstairs in our hotel's conference room, where we joined students from NYU and participated in a discussion by Dr. Joseph Diescho from the University of South Africa (UNISA) concerning the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). I posed the question to Dr. Diescho, "In your opinion, do you believe the TRC demonstrated a perverted sense of justice by failing to imprison or execute those who committed great injustices under Apartheid (e.g. like murdering Stephen Biko)?" He responded by saying something to the affect of, Mandela (who initiated the TRC) tends to see deep in to the future. His impacts have shown that he is a very extraordinary human being! Many stories from Dr. Diescho left me with a deeper respect for Mandella!
2 different narratives.
Voortrekker Monument
Today the Rutgers group and I travelled to two important venues in South Africa that told two different stories. First, we travelled to the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. After studying the life of Mandela as well as South African history and culture, this experience brought many things to life. I was touched by the videos, pictures, writing exc., within the Museum. When I walked into one of the jail sails, I empathized with the mental and emotional anguish of physical bondage and having everything stripped away that blacks who revolted against apartheid must have felt. There were times when I saw pictures of younger Mandela and instantly thought of my older brother Raheim who stands tall and whom I've always admired for his humility, fearlessness and intelligence. As I saw pictures of Mandela as a free man surrounded by hundreds of dignitaries, I saw the powerful affect that a man's revolutionary thoughts, prudence and wisdom had on the lives of so many! It was a spiritual moment.
After attending the gift shop and having lunch, we travelled straight to the Voortrekker monument. The Voortrekker monument was constructed by the Afrikanners, in 1949. It is a symbol that commemorates the history of the Afrikanners in South Africa (specifically the Voortrekkers who left Cape Colony between 1835 and 1854). Once arriving at the monument, we met our tour guide who was Afrikaans. Throughout the tour of the monument, our moral consciousness was struck by many words of our tour guide. Many of us felt anger, and questioned in a way that was not ungraceful. The Afrikanners saw South Africa as their God given territory and themselves as bringing civilization and development to South Africa.
I take from these experiences a greater understanding of two different narratives. One filled with a history of despair but a present and future of great pride. And one filled with memories of being conquered by the British and the Africans.
From NYC to Joburg!!!
My flight leaving JFK airport yesterday @ 11:15am started out great as I had the opportunity to talk to my mother, my younger brother Rahman and my younger sister Rashida!
Yesterday morning also started off a bit rough as I made an effort to detach myself from the stress of last minute big decision making and free myself to carrying only my checked baggage. I was empowered to travel to Johannesburg with joy with the help of various wonderful things that I experienced while flying South African Airways!
First of all, the flight attendants were all natives of South Africa and treated all the travelers with great grace and hospitality. I caught myself many times studying their every move with fascination and pride, knowing that we shared the same skin color.
Secondly, I met LeeAnn. LeeAnn is 11 years old and was returning home to South Africa after spending a week in NYC performing a song that led her to winning an international talent show! LeeAnn sat with Melissa, one of my fellow participants on this trip who has such an incredible personality! LeeAnn and Melissa became friends, or more like sisters, on the plane. I was able to meet LeeAnn and I enjoyed hearing her sing a song in Xhosa titled "Click Song." LeeAnn's bubbly and friendly personality reminded me of my baby sister Rakayla. She was such a joy, had such a bright smile and made me increasingly excited to meet other South African children!
Finally, the icing on the cake was waking up to the rising of the Sun as we quickly approached Johannesburg. I could not help but to Thank God for this opportunity and for all those who helped make this journey possible.

Home - Humanity
The disrespect It is the anti-value also called lack of respect, and understood as the attitude of those who are not willing to abide by certain minimum standards for healthy coexistence among all members of society.
Disrespect is usually defined by opposition to respect, which is the feeling of appreciation and recognition to the people and institutions that deserve it. If respect is the cornerstone of harmonious social interaction, disrespect is failing to do so, that is, collaborating with the breakdown of social ties.
Offenses between people
The first form in which disrespect can manifest itself is the known individual disrespect, which occurs with the offenses that one person can do to another, be it a close person or a complete stranger.
In this way, it is not enough to behave in a respectful way with the people you know in order not to incur disrespect: you must do so even with those oblivious to their circles. Especially when it comes to people with whom one does not share likes, interests or opinions, disrespect can come in the form of intolerance of the opinion of others.
Also read: 10 Examples of Behaviorism in the Classroom
Consequences of disrespect
When a person carries out an action of individual disrespect, that is, an action that results in a damage For another, it is common for the person who received it to feel offended, and even injured.
However, it is often the case that acts of disrespect they are not sanctioned as the facts liable to legal sanction, but are simply moral conduct imposed by society. There is no regulation that stipulates disrespectful acts, but it is in the person's own socialization.
Offenses to principles or institutions
The second dimension Disrespect has to do with the offenses that a person can do to the institutions or to the ways of life that society understands as valuable at a time.
Over time, society establishes guidelines on how to live, some of which have a logical foundation and others that are manifested only by the reproduction of a custom or habit.
Institutions such as the family, religion, the Government, the Judiciary, are examples of these forms of organization that establish their own ways of organizing, and therefore invite different forms of disrespect.
Also read: Examples of Types of Learning
Can disrespect be good good?
As said, the guidelines established by social institutions are not absolute, and are passive of criticism or transformation. In this way, the total respect these guidelines can be considered a kind of submission to a regulation that is not always logical and prudent.
Lack of respect for these principles, then, in some cases can be a combative attitude, which may be the seed of certain changes that favor ending unjust regimes: many of the social changes, such as the end of monarchies or many racial or cultural segregations, included episodes that were initially considered disrespectful against current regulations.
Examples of disrespect
Throwing garbage on public roads.
Abuse public property, such as the streets or squares.
Enter some religious institutions with your shoes on.
Taking advantage of a child's weakness.
Stepping into a common space instead to wait.
Not knowing the outcome of a democratic election.
Make noise in a space that requires silence, such as a library or hospital.
Raise your voice to impose yourself in a conversation.
Consider that the roles in the family are established, and it is the woman who must take care of certain things and the man who must take care of others.
Take actions that tend to harm nature.
Dressing inappropriately for a formal situation.
Entering a place and starting to act without first greeting others.
Breaking with a tradition of a family or a culture.
Do not give the seat to people of legal age or disabled in public transport.
Being considerably late.
Defame or mock a coworker or schoolmate.
Interrupting a person while they are speaking.
Occupy the head of the table, in some classic families where that place is reserved for the father or the oldest.
Sharing a public transport with a white-skinned person if one has black skin, in the South Africa of the apartheid.
Wearing long hair in most of the world's armies.

On Wednesday 5th July 2017, all year 7 pupils took part in the Welsh Government funded roadshow "The Science of Dragons" presented by Scientific Sue.
They saw and assisted with many exciting science experiments that are relevant to the Key Stage 3 Curriculum, but if that is not enough, the whole show was themed around the "How to train a dragon" series of books and film to further motivate and enthuse the pupils (and they were very enthusiastic!).

Kashmir – paradise turned into hell
Mohammad Jamil
Indian army's atrocities on the people of Kashmir, and their murder, rape and fake encounters have turned Kashmir into a hell that would stretch Dante's imagination. Last month, Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) released its report titled "Juveniles of Jammu and Kashmir: Unequal Before the Law & Denied Justice in Custody". According to the report a large number of Kashmiri children detained under PSA in 2010 uprising in IOK have not been produced in the courts and are illegally kept in adult jails, and the state has no detention facility for detainee girls, in contravention to international law. India's callous attitude towards pro-movement leadership is obvious from the fact that they are detained in IOK for indefinite period.
All the prominent leaders in IOK are denied freedom of expression. Chairman Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Gelani was kept under house arrest for 141 days in 2010 and 163 days during the current year, whereas Chairman Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Shabbir Ahmed Shah was placed under house arrest for three months and detained by police on different occasions for 12 times during the last eight months.
Kashmiris suffered death and destruction unparalleled in the history, first during Dogra Raj, and then faced murder, rape and killings at the hands of Indian armed forces. Frustrated by the apathy of the international community and non-implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, Kashmiri youth took up arms in 1989. However after 9/11, political landscape of the world changed dramatically, adversely impacting the freedom struggles of the people the world over who were dubbed as terrorists.
Nevertheless, writers, intellectuals and peace loving people condemned India's repression on people of Kashmir and also for treating them as second class citizens. Renowned Indian novelist and political activist Arundhati Roy once again made a strong case for Kashmiri people's right to self-determination before American audience on 12th November, 2011. "I think that the people of Kashmir have the right to self-determination-they have the right to choose who they want to be, and how they want to be," she said in the course of a discussion on 'Kashmir'. In her remarks, she lamented the fact that so little is known about the atrocities being committed by more than 700,000 Indian troops and indignities let loose on Kashmiri men, women and children. Disappearances were almost a daily occurrence as also kidnapping, arrests, fake encounters and torture. Mass graves have been discovered and the conscience of the world remained unstirred. Roy attributed the apathy towards Kashmir, especially in the western world, to their pursuit of commercial interests in India where they were more eager to sell their goods than human rights.
M. Ashraf in an article carried by Kashmir Times wrote: "The Army has stated in no uncertain terms that it is they who are keeping Kashmir with India in spite of its unwilling population and that is possible only if they have a free hand to deal with the situation without any consideration for the collateral damage….. If AFSPA, the legislation giving unaccountable power to the Army is withdrawn, then Kashmiris would have to be given Azadi in 2016!" Meanwhile, Indian government reportedly is considering pulling out some army units from several towns of the state but without revoking the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA).
There is a perception that despite Omar Abdullah's lobbying, Jammu and Kashmir may have to wait till the end of 2012 summer before a partial withdrawal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) is considered. It means that people of Kashmir would have to face the draconian laws even if some troops are withdrawn. Biased Indian corporate media always blames Pakistan Army for any uprising in Kashmir. But some human rights organisations are exposing Indian military for perpetrating atrocities on the people of Kashmir.
The advisory council of the Belgium-based Kashmir Centre (EU) and the International Council for Human Development (ICHD) asked the United Nations to conduct a high-level probe into the recent unearthing of 1,000 unmarked graves in Indian Held Kashmir. Advisory group requested United Nations Secretary General Ban ki-Moon to send a fact finding mission to the region. There is no denying that state violence or counter violence never help solve the problem but the big powers should understand the gravity of the situation and help resolve the Kashmir issue.
However, it does not look like if they will do it because only when public protest fits into the geopolitical designs of the US and the West that they declare it a popular movement and honour it with the award of a colour label. The orange revolution of Ukraine, the rose revolution of Georgia, the cidar revolution of Lebanon and much earlier velvet revolution of Czechoslovakia would pale before the Kashmiris' movement for their freedom, yet they were given colours by the colour-blind big powers.
It has to be mentioned that in none of the above cases there was a UN mandate whereas Kashmiris have been given their inalienable right of self-determination by the UN in 1948 and 5th January 1949. International community should help resolve the Kashmir issue because tension between the two nuclear states would not only make the environment of the region perilous but also the world at large.It is unfortunate that more than six decades have elapsed but international community shows apathy and indifference towards sufferings of Kashmiris and do not impress upon India to implement the United Nations Security Resolutions that bestow on Kashmiris the right to self-determination.
Even those countries that had in the past supported Pakistan's genuine stance now suggest that India and Pakistan should resolve the Kashmir dispute through bilateral negotiations, knowing full well that many rounds of dialogue have taken place including the stalled composite dialogue, but to no avail. India takes the plea that according to Tashkant Declaration and Simla Accord both countries are obliged to resolve the issue through bilateral negotiations. India should bear in mind that the Kashmir dispute is pending in the UN, and if the dispute is not resolved within a 'reasonable' period of time, Pakistan can approach the UN with the demand to play its role and make arrangements to hold plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir as per United Nations Security resolution.


The attackers who compromised Ashley Madison — an online hook-up site for people looking for extra-marital affairs — have made good on their threats to unmask the site's users if the site was not taken down. However, unlike the attackers who doxed Sony and Hacking Team, who uploaded all the stolen data to Pastebin, the Ashley Madison hackers dropped the 9.7 G data dump where most users will not go looking: the "dark web," only accessible through the Tor network.
The data includes email addresses, credit card transaction data, and profile information on the 37 million customers of Avid Life Media, which includes Ashley Madison and its sister sites, Cougar Life and Established Men.

"Keys as a service" and "KaaS": Not descriptive for digital locking system!
The European Court (CFI) has ruled in an interesting trade mark dispute concerning cloud computing terms. The EU trade mark KAAS KEYS AS A SERVICE is not descriptive of electronic opening and locking systems. Also, this case was on examination of the descriptive character of a composite mark.
In the contested decision, the Board of Appeal had dismissed the invalidity action against the EU word mark KAAS KEYS AS A SERVICE in February 2020. In its view, neither the expression 'keys as a service' nor the element 'kaas' were to be regarded as descriptive in relation to the goods claimed, which was what the applicant had claimed.
The applicant, Talleres de Escoriaza, SA (Spain), argued that the Board of Appeal should have given more precise reasons for its decision precisely with regard to the connection, which in its opinion was not direct, between the claimed goods and digital keys for electronic locking systems – and that it had not fulfilled its duty to state reasons.
The fact is that the goods claimed by the disputed mark were electronic opening and locking systems, computer applications and software in Nice Class 9.
And "Knowledge as a Service" or "KaaS" are terms from cloud computing, in this context also generally known. In several decisions of the EUIPO it has already been stated that the term "as a service" describes in particular services that are provided via the internet instead of on site.
However, this interesting trade mark dispute also has another facet: because the trade mark in dispute is also a trade mark composed of words. In the action against the Board of Appeal's decision, which the applicant Talleres brought before the European Court of First Instance (CFI), several pleas in law were therefore put forward, relating to the Board of Appeal's reasoning in various respects.
"Keys as a service" and "kaas": connection with digital locking system?
The Board of Appeal had held that the connection with the goods in question was not so direct that the relevant public would perceive the expression "keys as a service" as an description of their characteristics. In the Board of Appeal's view, moreover, the possibility that a service could be descriptive of goods was not very plausible. Therefore, it had denied that there could be a descriptive character.
The CFI confirmed these findings. The relevant public would not make a direct and immediate connection between the word "key" and goods such as "electronic padlocks" and "electronic locking systems". Even if these products are activated or operated with electronic "keys", the term "keys as a service" does not describe with sufficient precision a relevant characteristic of these products, the CFI ruled. None of these goods is a key as such.
Moreover, the Board of Appeal had rightly found that the relevant public was a specialised public, such as professionals in the field of locksmithing or electronic programming, and also the general public, but that in any event a high degree of attention was to be assumed.
The term "as a service" does have a connection with the concept of cloud computing for such a public, as it is used in that context, the CFI acknowledged. However, the term "keys as a service" does not describe "electronically downloadable computer applications" and "software". These goods are not keys, even if the term "as a service" itself refers to the concept of cloud computing.
The term "keys" was in any case too vague and general a term that did not provide clear and relevant information about the goods in question, the court added. Most applications require a user identification code in order to be used or downloaded. Therefore, the fact that this access or use code [or "key"] could or had to be obtained via a global computer network could not describe the goods in question with sufficient precision.
Nor would the element "kaas" be perceived as an acronym with a specific meaning, the CFI found, at most in the Netherlands, where it is the word for cheese (please read also our article: ECJ on the taste of Heksenkaas).
But even KaaS would be perceived with a meaning, the acronym "KaaS" would stand for "Knowledge as a Service" in the context of cloud computing. And even such an acronym had no reference to the goods in question, according to CFI.
Descriptive character in mark composed of words
Moreover, a descriptive character of a compound trade mark must in principle be examined for each term, but in any case also for the whole formed by the components, the CFI explained. Even if the individual words of which a mark is composed are directly descriptive of the goods and services concerned, the combination of all the elements may not be descriptive, according to previous case-law.
Nevertheless, the fact that the Board of Appeal had made it a point to examine one part of the sign in question and to elaborate on it in its reasoning ("Keys as a service" and "kaas") was not a contradiction or erroneous action, the CFI ruled. Indeed, the EUIPO does have a duty to state reasons under Article 94(1) of Regulation 2017/1001, which also follows from Article 296 TFEU, according to which the statement of reasons must clearly and unambiguously indicate the reasoning behind a decision.
However, this does not mean, the court said, that a statement of all the points of view put forward or requested by the parties concerned is always required. Rather, a decision must always be read in conjunction with the preceding paragraphs of that decision. And, as is apparent from preceding paragraphs 10 to 13, the Board of Appeal had there undertaken a detailed analysis of the connection between the meaning of the expression referred to and the goods in question.
KaaS or "Keys as a Service" – common parlance?
For another plea, the applicant had to prove that the sign KaaS Keys as a Service had become customary in common parlance at the relevant time to designate the goods claimed by the contested mark. However, such proof had not been provided, the CFI found. The court emphasised that the decisions of the EUIPO on the expression "as a service", which the applicant Talleres had submitted as evidence, only were made after the application for registration of the disputed mark KAAS KEYS AS A Service. However, only evidence relating to the date of filing of the application for the disputed mark is relevant.
Therefore, a survey according to which 38% of the respondents had answered that the expression "kaas keys as a service" could be associated with electronic keys was not accepted. Because this survey was conducted after the relevant date (June 2019, but the trade mark application was filed in 2015), too.
Finally, the CFI dismissed the action against the contested decision in its entirety (T-294/20). "KaaS Keys as a Service" therefore continues to be a protected trade name for electronic opening and locking systems, computer applications and software.

It must have been by design. A day which began with distinct unease, one which intimated gloom, thanks to a discouraging parking lot, was bitten by rejuvenation as soon as I entered the paddock. Vibrant, productive, reassuring colours appeared throughout my paddock tour.
Kyle's machine sat on its pompous perch, vainly displaying its gold heat shield – giving that McLaren F1 feel! Team 'Turbo' Anderson brought two Nismo hitmen to the Smokin' Aces. One was in fine fettle – doing the damage on the 1.6 – but investigative duties were assigned to the other, it was wrestling a mechanical malady.
Sebastian Rae's Honda was being readied for boost duties by the late Daryl King's co-driver. We spoke briefly. I saw the Honda on track some time after – MACHINE!
Bmw's M4 was in the building dressed in race attire! I quizzed the owner/driver – Richie. He had plans to harass the S55B3OTO and spread Bavaria's love to the hillside. But, he was forced to revisit his not so carefully laid plans – denied – he had no competition license!
I skipped over to KFC for a Big Deal. Everyone knows that Wings' machine is the sole purview of the Moodie clan. Correct? So why was Cory Walters busy in his usual vocal, hurried way, below the machine?
But, that is Cory for you – a competitor, a rival, but an available mechanic to everyone! Lol! Two of the Moodie brothers were doubling efforts to rescue Colin Daley's machine.
Victor Brown was pensive, but ensured that Nigel Wilmot's machine was ready. Nicholas 'Tazz' Barnes was still reliving his off-road excursion – absolute brake failure – not what he ordered at the drive through!
Using the West's casual, humorous vernacular, he told the tale. Puzzled, I asked if the machine was not equipped with a hydraulic hand brake. He admitted that that was his saviour! I asked the team-member who was stationed at the right front wheel if the braking issue was addressed. Amidst the audible compliance of the cordless Dewalt impact wrench, he responded in the affirmative.
Monique's voice disrupted the proceedings – IP machines were summoned to the grid.

Original Fifth Element Concept Art Reveals A Few Secrets, Including Prince As Ruby Rhod
Tags: Movie NewsMusic
A new fashion exhibit by Jean Paul Gaultier has revealed The Fifth Element costume concept art that Prince (who was originally supposed to play Ruby Rhod) thought was "too effeminate". But wait, there is actually a funny story behind it all.
That's right, Prince was supposed to play the character Chris Tucker played, Ruby Rhod, in the 1997 mega sci-fi blockbuster, The 5th Element. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. A busy schedule and complaints about the wardrobe kept the Purple Rain star from starring in the role. Jean Paul Gaultier explains…
One of the thousand costumes in The Fifth Element, I took my inspiration for many of them from my own collections. Filming was originally planned for 1992, with Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson and Prince in the leading roles but due to a lack of financing the project was put on hold. At that time, the role of Ruby Rhod, the outrageous media personality finally played by Chris Tucker, had been given to Prince.
When the singer was giving a series of concerts in Paris, Luc Besson wanted us both to meet with him to show him my sketches. Prince had already attended my runway shows, but he came and went very quickly every time, so we had never been formally introduced. While I was waiting for Luc in his office, I saw this huge bodyguard appear, with Prince trailing behind him. As Luc hasn't yet arrived, I thought he must have wanted me to meet with Prince alone, so we could get to know each other a little bit. In broken English, and with my strong French accent, I tried my best to make conversation, something like "Hell-O Prin-ze, welcome to Par-isse! So for ze role I sink…"
I showed him my drawings, but he didn't say a word. I had had an idea for a really funny costume with netting which quite long body hair would pass through, and I had done front and back versions of it. So then I explained to Prince: "Eet eel fake 'air, you know, and eet eel beaucoup, beaucoup, airy, vraiment fun, and ze back is made of sat, and on ze back were eez ze faux cul, you know, a very big faux cul." and I slapped my buttocks to show him how the back of the costume would be designed.
Still not saying anything, Prince gave me this Charlie Chaplin kind of look. I could see that something had just happened, but I didn't know what, only that he had indicated to his body guard that he wanted to leave right then and there. I thought he was going to go and see Luc. Later, Luc told me that Prince had been very surprised and amused — by my presentation, but that he found the costumes a bit too effeminate. And, most importantly, he had thought he head "F**k you, f**k you!" when I was saying in my terrible English accent "faux cul, faux cul" [fake ass]!

Talking About China
Ian Johnson's continuing series of interviews with intellectuals, activists, and artists in China
An Interview with Chen Hongguo
Ian Johnson: You got your PhD in law from China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing. You could have kept teaching in the capital but you chose to come to Xi'an. Why did you do that?
Chen Hongguo: You don't realize how pitiful the students are here. The quality of teaching isn't that good and they don't get to hear good speakers. So I began to invite prominent intellectuals… I set up reading clubs to interact more closely with the students… We met in the stairway. People called it the "stairway lectures."
An Interview with Jiang Xue
Ian Johnson: Haven't some people given up on civil society?
Jiang Xue: It was our hope. Now, a lot of people have lost hope. The way society has developed under the Communist Party, it's impossible to develop civil society. Public media has been killed. Public institutions have been closed. Teachers who dare to speak up have been driven off. It seems that civil society has no force.
But I don't agree with this view. Civil society is something we have to struggle for. It's something we can fight for bit by bit.
An Interview with Zhang Shihe
Ian Johnson: Where does it come from, this sense of justice—your experiences in the Cultural Revolution?
Zhang Shihe: Mao ordered young people to the countryside. I was sent to work on the Xi'an to Qinghai railway, with some 26,000 others. Most were broken when they came home. Today, they have children and grandchildren, but thousands died prematurely after coming back—it ruined so many people's health. These old guys don't want that forgotten.
Ruling Through Ritual
Ian Johnson: When did you start commenting on daily life?
Guo Yuhua: In about 2010. In this society, everything that seems impossible or completely weird actually does happen, so how can you not comment on it? It's intolerable. You feel you can't help people who are suffering in another way, so at least you can try to publicize it and get a public reaction. In fact, you aren't really helping them, but you feel you have to speak.
The Biggest Taboo
You don't feel that things are harsher or tighter now?
Qiu Zhijie: It's like this: because the anticorruption crackdown was so harsh, officials don't dare act or do anything. Everyone speaks in formulaic language, and reads the Party's documents. That kind of atmosphere isn't good. Actual measures are few, but you do feel a kind of authoritarianism that's worse than before.
Liberating China's Past
Ke Yunlu was one of the most popular authors in China in the 1980s and 1990s. Though none of his books have been translated, he is well-known in China for his politically prescient novels, including one that is widely seen as having predicted Xi Jinping's rise. He is a sharp critic of the Mao period, and believes that China's traumas can only be resolved through spiritualism.
A Chinese Genocide?
"I'd kept asking one question: Had any one of the 9,000 people killed in the region been planning a counterrevolutionary event or said something unlawful? In the end the answer was: No."
Hu Fayun: An Interview
"I do not take as much direct action as some. Ever since being a sent-down youth in the Cultural Revolution, I've feared hardship and fatigue. But in important actions, if I feel I should express myself, then I try to pick up my courage."
Filming China's Flaws
"I believed in the goodness of human nature. I believe this is naïve. Actually, human nature in this totalitarian society has become very vile. This power has changed Chinese people's psychological makeup. Most people, very many people, are really terrible; they're afraid of losing things."
Publishing Beijing's Secrets
"I am interested in telling stories about human nature. The Communists are so against human nature….I'm going to demythify Chinese culture. My example is Alan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta. Our next book will be like that—a graphic non-fiction book on the Lin Biao incident [the probable attempted coup and flight by Mao's most trusted aide in 1971, ending in his death in a plane crash]."
Ai Weiwei Talks (Less)
"My feelings are, actually are…how can I describe this situation? It's like I was on arid land and thrown into water. I've been running for so many years and now have reached the shore. It's that kind of feeling. Because I never felt I belonged in water. That kind of control. That kind of pressure. And every kind of threat. I was living under constant threats. And suddenly this thing, suddenly it vanishes, and everything returns to normal."
China's Invisible History
"Back then, you couldn't even find a book on how to make documentary films. I felt that the problems in society were so serious, but the media was just broadcasting propaganda. There was such a gap. I thought then: Why don't those journalists tell the truth? Then I thought: Why don't you try yourself, try to say something true?"
China's Democracy Guru
"I think you Americans, your political agenda has become taken over by these differences between the Republicans and the Democrats. Every day, you fight about issues like taxation or abortion. But perhaps you have forgotten that the things the Republicans and Democrats share are much larger than what separates them."
Lawyers vs. Beijing
You've said that Xi Jinping is trying to bring China back to a totalitarian kind of system.
Teng Biao: He is not able to achieve totalitarianism, but he wants to. The problem for him is the civil society in China is stronger than he thinks.
Jailing a Uighur Moderate
Why was Ilham Tohti arrested?
Wang Lixiong: The only conclusion is dark: they don't want moderate Uighurs. Because if you have moderate Uighurs, then why aren't you talking to them? So they wanted to get rid of him and then you can say there are no moderates and we're fighting terrorists.
China: Sex and the Party
Why sex?
Li Yinhe: During the first thirty years of its rule, the Communist Party was anti-sex. So studying sex is controversial. Even in my current book, the section on laws about sex was eliminated. You can't publish it.
Wang Lixiong and Woeser: Ending Ethnic Repression
Why has the Chinese government relied so much on suppression in Tibet and Xinjiang?
Wang Lixiong: Simply put, it's due to their politics, but they can't say that. They say it's due to hostile foreign forces. After troubles started in Tibet they said it was the "Dalai Clique." You can see the situation getting worse year by year, so it's only possible to say that it's their policy.
Wang Lixiong and Woeser: The Dalai Lama Impasse
You have spoken about how the Dalai Lama has had successes, but that his policy is at a dead end.
Wang Lixiong: I believe the Dalai Lama has fulfilled his historical role. His basic strategy is to get Western people and Western governments to put pressure on the Chinese government. But it doesn't solve the problem.
Albert Ho: Hong Kong Rising
Perry Link, with Ian Johnson
Why are these protests happening now?
Perry Link: Hong Kong's people have been striving for democracy for over two decades, and the desire is now so strong that if Beijing breaches its promise and fails to deliver democracy in 2017, Hong Kong will likely become ungovernable.
Hu Jia: Tiananmen at Twenty-Five
Hu Jia is one of China's best-known political activists. He participated in the 1989 Tiananmen protests as a fifteen-year-old and is currently under house arrest for having launched a commemoration of the June Fourth massacre in January. But on his way back from a rare unsupervised hospital visit, I met up with him for a talk about his work and the twenty-fifth anniversary of Tiananmen.
Jiang Xueqin: Solving China's Schools
"The reform movement in the US is led by a bunch of Ivy League people obsessed with data. They want to bring 'accountability' to the American school system. That means testing. They use China as the Yellow Peril. 'If our kids can't do math, China is going to kick our ass.'"
China's Way to Happiness
Are people in China happy?
Richard Madsen: The happiness level is diminishing. The pace of economic growth is not continuing like it was. You still have people becoming fabulously wealthy and crassly displaying it, but that also feeds into a deteriorating moral climate.
Huang Qi: China's Blogging Revolution
"The first thing is we have to get the information out. You have to understand that the public security and government agencies are monitoring our site. They read it. News services too. After we publish, it'll get the attention of the relevant authorities. So we have to send it out and then people can learn about it. That's how we do it."
Yuan Zhiming: Jesus vs. Mao
"What China lacks the most is faith or a spiritual support. Look at Bo Xilai. He tried to use Mao's idea to create a spiritual support for people in Chongqing by having them sing old communist songs. He recognized that people lacked a sense of community and wanted to create a model in Chongqing for all of China. But he made a mistake in that Mao isn't a God."
Yu Jie: China's Fault Lines
"Over the past hundred years, China has studied a lot from the West: from France, the French Revolution, and from Germany, of course Marx and nationalism, which came to us via Japan. And from Russia we learned Leninism. But we haven't learned much from this British-American tradition."
Chen Guangcheng: 'Pressure at the Grassroots'
"Chinese police and prosecutors, do you think they don't understand Chinese law? They definitely understand. But these people illegally kept me under detention. So you can see that once you enter the system, you need to become bad. If you don't become bad, you can't survive."
Bao Tong: 'I'd Be Corrupt Too'
"In America, if you're corrupt you have to resign. Look at Nixon. In China does that happen? No. Why? Because everyone is in one boat. If that boat turns over, everyone ends up in the water. When I say 'everyone' of course I mean the people in power. In China everyone helps each other out."
Tian Qing: Endangered Culture
"The problem is that modernization and protecting heritage are at odds with each other. It's like driving a car and then you tell someone to look back. You can't do it. You say, for example, to a Miao woman, 'Your clothes are beautiful,' but she says, 'No, I want to wear jeans.'"
Ran Yunfei: Learning to Argue
"You have to learn how to argue. Too few public intellectuals in China have learned to argue logically. They don't know how and end up cursing each other all the time."
Chang Ping: Is Democracy Chinese?
"Some people said that democracy wasn't part of Chinese culture, and then Taiwan became democratic. Then they said that Taiwan was a special case. Now look at [the village of] Wukan. They had their own elections. People say it's special, but in fact Wukan is really typically Chinese. It's a Chinese town but they organized everything. So what argument are you left with?"
Liao Yiwu: 'My Writing Is Illegal'
"The 1980s were a golden age for Chinese thought and literature. Then came 1989. Then came the reforms and the economic growth. No one thought the Communists would be so tough and strong. Now there's a new wave of people leaving, even though the economy is so good. At least among many artistic people it's like this: You can't do anything meaningful in China."
Yang Jisheng: The Facts About Mao
"Traditional historians face restrictions. First of all, they censor themselves. Their thoughts limit them. They don't even dare to write the facts. And even if they wrote it, they can't publish it. But there are many unofficial historians like me."

Q: Python 3.6 / my function changes my global variables I am trying really hard for my function not to mess my global 'b' value because I wish to re-use that list in another similar function using sets but it seems that even not using the same name (y), they (b and y) are still bound together...
most of the print lines are for debugging only as I was not understanding what was happening.
What am I doing wrong?
import random

a = random.sample(range(1,25),8)
b = random.sample(range(1,25),11)
a.sort()
b.sort()

def list_rdup(x,y):
    print('Loop remove duplicates:')
    print('x:',x)
    print('y:',y)
    for i in x:
        y.append(i)
    y.sort()
    print('y modified:',y)
    c = []
    for i in y:
        if i in c:
            pass
        else:
            c.append(i)
    return c

print('a:',a)
print('b:',b)

print(list_rdup(a,b))

print('a:',a)
print('b:',b)

Output: we see a and b in their original state.. then I run the function and
print a and b again to show that b was modified in the process...
a: [1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
b: [1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24]
Loop remove duplicates:
x: [1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
y: [1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24]
y modified: [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 16, 17, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24]
[1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24]
a: [1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
b: [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 16, 17, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24]

A: The call list_rdup(a,b) simply passes the reference of a and b which are stored in x and y. So, any change in x and y will change a and b. If you do not want a and b to change make a copy by using b_copy = b.copy().

A: To avoid altering the elements, copy the array.
import random

a=[1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
b=[1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24]
#a.sort()
#b.sort()

        y.append(i)
    y.sort()
    print('y modified:',y)
    c = []
    for i in y:
        if i in c:
            pass
        else:
            c.append(i)

a: [1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
b: [1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24]
Loop remove duplicates:
x: [1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
y: [1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24]
y modified: [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 16, 17, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24]
[1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24]
a: [1, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22]
b: [1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24]

Also consider deep copying if you have non-primitive values in the array.

Empirical data suggest that inversions in many species contain genes important for intraspecific divergence and speciation, yet mechanisms of evolution remain unclear. While genes inside an inversion are tightly linked, inversions are not static but evolve separately from the rest of the genome by new mutations, recombination within arrangements, and gene flux between arrangements. Inversion polymorphisms are maintained by different processes, for example, divergent or balancing selection, or a mix of multiple processes. Moreover, the relative roles of selection, drift, mutation, and recombination will change over the lifetime of an inversion and within its area of distribution. We believe inversions are central to the evolution of many species, but we need many more data and new models to understand the complex mechanisms involved.

Israeli University Reneges on Letting Students Skip Settler Critic's Exam
Lecturer Uri Weiss angers students by taking to Facebook after teen's stabbing death to point to 'collective psychosis.'

The students of a Bar-Ilan University lecturer who wrote posts on Facebook criticizing West Bank settlers learned this week they will have to take an exam in order to pass the course.
Minister Bennett is lying. The settlements aren't keeping Israel safe.
Heinous killing on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide
Director of 'The Settlers': They're good people who are doing bad things
The university administration had previously said it would waive the final exam requirement for the course.
This month, students of Uri Weiss were told they could receive a passing grade without taking the exam, after they complained that he had criticized settlers and settlements on Facebook.
The students also urged the university to cancel the classes of the outspoken teacher.
Weiss, who also writes a blog in the Hebrew edition of Haaretz, teaches in the university's business school.
Shortly after a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death by a Palestinian teenager in her Kiryat Arba home last month, Weiss wrote, "When a group of parents chooses in the name of fanatic theology to live in a place that puts their children are in grave danger, we're dealing with collective psychosis."

He also wrote that "idolatry can cause parents to sacrifice their children to Moloch, not to mention placing them at irrational risk."
The Walla news site reported this week that after students complained, the administration told MBA students enrolled in Weiss' course that they did not need to take the final exam in order to pass it.
On Tuesday the university backtracked and said the students would have to take the final.
"Dr. Weiss posted a blatant statement on Facebook, accusing the parents of a girl who was murdered by terrorists in Kiryat Arba of being responsible for her murder.
"Bar-Ilan University expressed its flat objection to this a week ago, but made it clear that since they were published via a private format it won't get involved," the university said in a statement.
"The university believes ulterior motives should not be mixed with academic decisions and told the students the course's requirements will not be changed," it added.
BIU spokesman Haim Zissovich said the decision to exempt Weiss' students from the exam was made by junior university officials. When senior administrators learned of the decision, it was rescinded.
During Operation Protective Edge in 2014, the university allowed 30 of Weiss' business to switch out of his course after they accused him of being an extreme leftist and said they didn't want to study with him.

The House of Welcome urgently needs volunteers Monday to Friday.
The Drop-in and Reception volunteer is the first point of contact for clients. They welcome people to the centre, assist with sign-in, conduct intake assessments and provide assistance as required whilst the client is accessing the centre.
This role also coordinates the stocking and distribution of food for the House of Welcome's Foodbank. Clients accessing the Foodbank may have no other source of income, and as a result, may be without basic food and household items. The Drop-In Volunteer plays a crucial role in making clients feel welcome when collecting from the Foodbank.
Answering the telephone and redirecting calls to appropriate staff members.
Once a week 9.30am-3.30pm, Monday to Friday. A minimum 3 month commitment is required.
