The Wrestler Poster
STARS: MICKEY ROURKE, MARISA TOMEI, AND EVAN RACHEL WOOD.
A FILM BY: DARREN ARONOFSKI.
2008 RATED R. 105MIN
< NO SPOILERS>
Darren Aronofsky, takes us into the brutally realistic world of pro-wrestling with breathtaking visuals, and heavy emotion.
Mickey Rourke is RANDY "THE RAM" ROBINSON, a famous Professional Wrestling star from the 80's. The film's opening is a brilliantly rendered collage of Pro-Event billboard posters covering the time span of his glorious wrestling career. Set to the rock music of Quiet Riot's (Bang Your Head, Metal Heath Will Drive You Mad). Lyrically a very fitting song, as 80's Hair Metal music makes up virtually the entire soundtrack of the film. The choice in music effectively grounds the story, while at the same time provides a lot of emotional impact.
The film starts out 20 years after the height of Randy's career. He's still wrestling but no longer in the glorious spotlight he once commanded in the past. The past it seems has caught up with him, as he's beaten down, worn out, and effectively broke. Aside from the local kids that live in his trailer park, his co wrestling stars, and his dwindling fan base Randy is alone.
Wrestling part time for chump change is beginning to take a heavy toll on the aging star, as he also works as a stocker at a local supermarket. He prefers to work away from the public eye, as he doesn't want anyone to see him working in such a lowly job. At night he goes to a local strip club to see his favorite girl Cassidy (Tomie). She's dealing with facing life as an aging stripper while raising a father less son. The parallels between their lives are dramatically similar as they both sell themselves to the public. Randy wants to marry Cassidy but she won't cross that line with a customer, as they apparently have been playing this game for some time. After a particularly brutal wrestling bout Randy is forced to make a change in his life, however the only thing he has ever known is wrestling.
After an unsuccessful attempt at making up with his estranged daughter Stephanie (Wood), Cassidy agrees to meet up with Randy away from the club to help him pick out a gift for her. The real world away from the smoke and club lights begins to effect Cassidy. She begins to fall for Randy, however she won't allow herself to, and walks out on him. Heartbroken and even more alone now after later missing an important dinner date with his daughter. Randy vividly breaks down, and decides to enter into one final re-match with his arch nemesis The Ayatollah, in hopes of going out on top.
THE WRESTLER is tragic tale of fame and lost glory. The toll that wrestling has taken on Randy is heartbreaking to watch at times, as he struggles to continue to perform as the once great superstar.
Mickey is incredibly ripped in this role, and his performance is ground breaking! Hands down the best performance of his acting career.
Marrisa Tomie's performance was brilliant as well, she completely submersed herself into her character. The wrestling scenes are powerful and hardcore! Tight camera shots are intense, as fake punches and self induced injuries are all captured and edited into amazing fight scenes.
Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler
THE WRESTLER is a powerful film that will pin you down with its reality and body slam your emotions with some of the most convincing performances in years.
There's no doubt in this reviewers opinion, that Mickey Rourke "WILL" win the Oscar for his performance. No actor is more deserving this year…

Chupacabra (også chupacabraer /tʃupa'kabɾas/, fra spansk chupar: at suge, cabra: ged; gedesuger) er et kryptid, som hævdes at leve i dele af Amerika. Den er især forbundet med Puerto Rico, hvor den først blev rapporteret set, samt i Mexico og USA, især blandt de latinamerikanske befolkningsgrupper. Navnet oversættes ordret fra spansk som "gedesuger". Det skyldes, at skabningen angiveligt har angrebet husdyr og drukket deres blod – især geder. Beskrivelsen af kryptidets  udseende varierer. Øjenvidneberetninger kendes fra så tidligt som 1990 i Puerto Rico – og den har siden været set så langt nordpå som Maine og så langt sydpå som Chile. De fleste videnskabsfolk og andre eksperter regner chupacabraen for at være et fabeldyr. Den menes at være på størrelse med en lille bjørn med takker langs rygsøjlen fra halsen til halen.

Chupacabraer bliver også nogle steder beskrevet som store, ulvelignende væsener med lange tænder og til tider med vinger.

De beskrives også få gange som store firben med lange tænder, lange klør og pigge langs ryggen.

I Texas fandt man et dødt dyr, der blev anset for at være en Chupacabra. Efter en DNA-analyse blev det afgjort, at væsenet var en hårløs prærieulv, Canis latrans.
 chupacabraen blev første gang "set" i 1905, hvor en mand i Texas vågnede en morgen og gik ud til sine høns. Han opdagede da, at nogen eller noget havde dræbt og suget hans høns tør for blod. Senere er chupacabraen blevet et af verdens mysterier ligesom Loch Ness-uhyret, Bigfoot og andre utrolige væsner.
Videnskabsmænd mener dog imidlertid, at dette væsen blot er en hybrid af en hund eller en ulv og et andet dyr. Denne krydsning skulle have fremavlet dette blodsugende dyr, som folk mener har dræbt og suget blod fra deres dyr.

Francavilla Marittima è un comune italiano di 2766 abitanti della provincia di Cosenza in Calabria.

Geografia fisica
Il centro si adagia a 273 metri di altitudine sulle estreme pendici sud-orientali del Pollino, a nord del torrente Raganello. Il suo territorio fa parte del parco nazionale del Pollino e raggiunge i 1025 metri di altitudine con la cima del monte Pietra Ferrigna.

Storia
Francavilla Marittima risulta, nel XV secolo, fra i possedimenti dei Sanseverino potentissimi principi di Bisignano e feudatari di Cassano allo Ionio. Ma già nel XII secolo il territorio è chiamato "Divisa" divisoria dei feudi di Cassano e Cerchiara. È chiamato tenimento ricoperto da boschi e selva e privo di abitazione, e infine "casale" un insieme di case sparse in campagna, dipendenti da un centro più importante. Ma le origini di Francavilla Marittima sono ancora più remote, perché risalgono al tempo della Magna Grecia, con la costruzione della leggendaria città di "Lagaria" a sua volta fondata sui resti del villaggio indigeno: quello degli Enotri. Lo stemma civico è caratterizzato: da una corona principesca in onore dei San Severino, una torre merlata alla guelfa, poi un castello medioevale Bizantino.

Il paese di VillaFranca, che significa paese libero dai tributi, è poi rinominato in Francavilla e nel 1863 è aggettivato come Marittima perché è vicino al mare. Le stelle dello stemma indicano le contrade, poi troviamo 2 rami di ulivo e quercia che rappresentano la flora locale e simboli di pace e forza. Il centro storico tardo medievale, racchiude nel suo cuore uno dei monumenti più importanti dal punto di vista storico ambientale, la fontana vecchia costruita nel 1793 con le 3 canne da cui scorre l'acqua raccolta in 3 vasche marmoree, ed e caratterizzata da un frontale in mattoni costruito nel 1897 ad opera di Garofalo e De Simone.

Margot Datta, 45, of Culemborg, Netherlands, requires an immediate kidney donation from a living donor. She is looking for someone with blood type A+, or compatible.
In 1996, my mother donated a kidney to me. Unfortunately, this didn't go well and the kidney needed to be removed two months later. I was then on dialysis for over two years which was painful and very tiring.
I'm on the waiting list of eurotransplant. The waiting period is on average 3 years; however in my case it's going to take longer because I already had 2 previous transplants. I have a lot of antibodies in my blood. This means that I am also hard to match. My blood type is A+.
The UMC Utrecht, is ready to take care of my donor and can assist in any information required. There's a recovery time of a few weeks, but people can live very well with one kidney, provided you are healthy. My mother has not experienced any adverse consequences of the donation and has been living with 1 kidney for more than 22 years.
I'm now looking for a living donor. Do you know of someone or are you someone who can save my life by giving me a kidney?

The flagship has arrived – last forecast accuracy can be checked
Posted by Anonymous ExNokian in Forecasts, Friday fun
I made a check for the Nokia/HMD phone portfolio forecast from Tomi Ahonen, but at that point the "flagship" had not arrived yet.
So let me start by reminding that for the Nokia 8 there was a clear "it's not a flagship" judgement from Tomi: [1]
As to Nokia 8, I think that is a 'placeholder' device, not the best HMD can do, which will be the successor to the Nokia 8, ie the Nokia 9 – THAT is their first 'proper' flagship, I think.
And I anticipated that Tomi will wait for Nokia 9 (with that model number) to be announced before he will take any new Nokia phone as – ahem – "proper" flagship, but so little do I know: Tomi has told us that Nokia 8 Sirocco should be treated as a flagship device in Tomi-verse: [2]
the Nokia 8 Sirocco is a 'proper' flagship that will help at the top end, to drive the appeal that even for cool people who want high tech
I find it interesting that Tomi now decided that Nokia 8 Sirocco is the flagship device. It is not "Nokia 9" that undoubtedly will come, nor does it have Xenon flash, 40mpix sensor or alike. And meanwhile Huawei P20 Pro already provides the 40mpix + 20mpix + 8mpix triple camera, making it hard for the 12 mpix Nokia 8 Sirocco to "go beyond everybody" in megapixels like Tomi said the flagship would do once announced.
Nevertheless this is now the flagship Tomi was expecting, the one with which Nokia/HMD "are no doubt wanting to win the honors of best phone of year". (And we were supposed to expect it to be special.) [3]
So how does Tomi's forecast match to Nokia 8 Sirocco?
Tomi Ahonen "flagship" Nokia 8 Sirocco
Large/phablet screen 5.5″ screen (phablet)
Removable battery or water proof Water proof (with non-removable battery)
NFC NFC
Carl Zeiss optics Carl Zeiss optics
41-50 mpix camera 12 mpix camera
PureView branding No Pureview Branding
Xenon flash LED flash
MicroSD card slot No MicroSD card slot
3.5mm headphone jack No headphone jack
FM Radio No FM Radio
"will hold on to micro-USB" USB-C
Priced $800-$700
(Possibly $600) $920 USD
"goes beyond everybody on couple of specs" Nothing going "beyond everybody" in specifications
Announced in the Mobile World Congress 2017 Announced in the Mobile World Congress 2018
To be honest, I left some things out:
Nokia 8 Sirocco has the glass body in stainless steel frame that is supposed to be a major selling point. However Tomi did not forecast anything like that (and it's not "beyond everybody" as iPhone X does that too).
We could count it as 24 mpix if we sum up the two cameras but I don't think that's proper way to do it. And even if it was it would not be "beyond everybody" since then Huawei P20 Pro – as said already – would have 68 mpix triple camera (and in any case dual cameras are so mainstream that even iPhone has them).
Tomi DID list wireless charging as a way to "go beyond everybody", but in 2018 I don't think you're "beyond everybody" having wireless charging (and once again the iPhone has that too).
Hit or miss? I'll let the readers decide. But while you do your judgement, please remember this:
It didn't matter a bit that Lumia 610 and 710 had a removable battery – when Lumia 800 and 900 (high-end models) did not have removable battery, it was stupid Elop that removed those. The "real Nokia" would have never done something as silly as that.
It didn't matter that Lumia 620 and 820 had both removable battery and MicroSD card. Lumia 920 did not have them so it was stupid Elop that removed those, Nokia would never do that.
FM-Radio. Tomi spent way too many lines to point out how Lumias don't have FM radio. (That is in Tomi-verse. In the REAL universe where we all live in – all Lumias had it.) Once again Nokia would never leave FM radio out, especially not from a flagship!
And last but not least – camera. Tomi has been clear about this that you can't downgrade the camera megapixels. That would be once again the stupid Elop thing (he also said the similar thing with Samsung Galaxy going from 16 mpix to 12 mpix). So if your past best camera was 41 megapixels, then your flagship should have… 41 megapixels. Not 40, not 32, definitely not 20: "The topmost Lumia900 that was announced at CES has its camera downgraded from the N8. It doesn't have 12mp. It has 8mp." [4]
These were not just some small "nice to have" features, these were the things that – if missing – were disappointing and infuriating loyal Nokia customers.
That being said, here are some captions where Tomi explains what the Nokia/HMD flagship should be, is expected to be, Nokia KNOWS has to be and eventually will be:
Lets say by the end of 2017 Nokia should have at least 5 Android models, maybe something like 8; and including one clear flagship with Pureview camera, Xenon flash etc.
–Tomi Ahonen, May 20, 2016 [5]
So expect Nokia to hold onto microSD card slots, removable/replacable batteries, NFC, Bluetooth etc connectivity, industry-standard micro-USB charging ports (something iPhone doesn't do), industry standard stereo HiFi earphone plugs (Apple rumored to end it and new model not to have it) and of course the 'normal' Nokia features overload such as FM Radio. Nokia KNOWS that for many in Africa, their family's first FM radio ever in their household is the one that came on a Nokia phone a couple of years ago and now all in the family will want FM radio also on their phones
I think a Pureview based flagship will be out in the first year – and shown at the Mobile World Congress.
It will be a flagship phone in the 700-800 dollar price range
If the first flagship (generic Android with Pureview and large, possibly phablet screen) costs say 600 dollars
(He really couldn't make up his mind about the price, handing out a $200 price range and still got it wrong.)
I'm pretty confident the first Return-Nokia (what should we call it, Retro-Nokia?) flagship will do a proper Pureview sensor. Likely the 41mp but they might up it just a bit, to get the press out of it, to say 50mp.
So there you have it: Tomi knows Nokia very deeply and he has told us in the past that Nokia would never make a phone that lacks the features so loved by loyal Nokia users, only Elop would be that dumb.
Nokia would never downgrade features, only Elop would be that dumb. (The previous Nokia 8 had two 13 mpix cameras mounted at the back. Nokia 8 Sirocco dual camera uses 12 mpix sensor. Just saying.)
Only Elop would be that dumb.
Only Elop.
And Nokia/HMD, apparently.

OPINION: On political violence, the politicians doth protest too much
Written by	Thomas L. Knapp
On Jan. 7, the day after rioters entered the U.S. Capitol and put hundreds of politicians to flight in support of Donald Trump's wild-eyed election fraud claims, Wisconsins's State Assembly passed a resolution. The money line: "[P]olitical violence in any form has no place in the American system of government and should never be tolerated."
If the Assembly (and other government bodies passing such resolutions) had followed up by dissolving themselves and sending their members home for good, I might believe they mean what they're saying. Otherwise, no dice.
Political violence, and credible threats of political violence, are the very basis of "the American system of government."
When the Assembly (or Congress, or your city council) passes a law or an ordinance, they're not asking, they're telling. If you're discovered not doing what they order you to do, or doing what they order you not to do, armed government employees will abduct you and put you in a cage. If you resist, those armed government employees will assault you, maybe even kill you.
Absent political violence and the credible threat thereof, government agencies would just be benevolent clubs making recommendations — recommendations we'd be free to accept or reject without threats of force either way.
Is all political violence bad? Well, no. Laws against the INITIATION of force — assault, murder, robbery, etc. — are defensive in nature, and if their enforcement was financed voluntarily rather than through taxation (under penalty of force for not coughing up), those laws would be entirely justifiable.
Needless to say, the Wisconsin State Assembly doesn't limit itself to passing such laws. When it passes something like 2019 Assembly Bill 132 ("Persons under the age of 16 years may not operate a class 3 electric bicycle," etc.), it's threatening the use of violence against people who have not themselves engaged in violence.
The Capitol riot was unjustified because the claims used to incite it were nonsense. Congress does a lot of things that SHOULD get its members chased out of town by angry mobs. Counting votes that the rioters didn't want counted was not a worthy casus belli.
Our rulers aren't really opposed to political violence on grounds of justifiability, though. They're only opposed to political violence when it's used against them rather than by or for them. They're the lords. We're the peasants. While they won't say that openly and proudly, they don't want us to forget it even for a moment.

Travel and Visits From Abroad
January 21st, 2021 | by Dezernat 3.0
The legal requirements relating to travel are being continuously updated. The German Ministry of Health (BMG) has issued a Coronaeinreiseverordnung (CoronaEinrVO for short, Coronavirus Entry Ordinance in English) in addition to the Coronavirus Entry Ordinance of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Ministry's Ordinance also contains specifications on reporting, testing, and self-isolation obligations when entering Germany from abroad. In addition to risk areas, the Ordinance also designates current areas with high infection rates and areas in which virus variants are present. Further information is available on the website of the Robert Koch Institute: RKI risk areas.
The following still applies as a basic principle: As soon as an individual exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, they are banned from entering the RWTH premises with immediate effect. Business and private travel is strongly discouraged for all individuals. If, however, an employee goes on a trip, the Crisis Management Team and University Management request that the individual finds out about the classification of the travel destination and the currently applicable reporting, testing, and isolation obligations there well ahead of time. Division 8.3 is happy to advise employees on this matter.
Exemptions for cross-border commuters and individuals entering the country from a risk area for urgent work-related reasons or because of their training or studies continue to apply. In case of doubt, employees should contact the responsible health department. Individuals who are subject to mandatory testing are not allowed to enter the RWTH premises until they have received (negative) test results.
If a certificate is required for absolutely necessary and urgent travel to an employee's country of origin, the following departments will be happy to help:
Division 2.1 for students
Human resources departments for employees
Division 2.2 for guests, visitors, service providers, etc.

All the world is talking about e-mobility – expecting wonders ahead by self-driving cars and 'computers on 4 wheels', as some assume. The truth is: these visions are created by urban people, and they are valid only for a special segment of society, even if the biggest one: urban and wealthy people.
Not 4 wheels, but 4 feet are the main moving equipment for heading home at evening rush hour in Romanian Saxon village Viscri.

Favorite/Best: Doctor Who Series 2
By Koete, April 19, 2011 in Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy
It's the next Doctor Who poll, for the first series starring David Tennant as The Doctor.
Urban Spaceman
While "Girl in the Fireplace" takes "best" ni a walk, IMHO, I have to give my favorite nod to "School Reunion". It's just really cool to see Sarah and K9.
"School Reunion" is also my favorite, for the return of Sarah Jane Smith and K-9, Anthony Stewart Head, and one of the best Mickey moments ("We are in a car."). My second favorite would be "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit."
I agree that "The Girl in the Fireplace" is the best as well, although I don't think it's as strong as Moffat's story for series 1.
Anyone who votes for "Fear Her" should prepare for a suspension.
"Army of Ghosts" / "Doomsday" is my favorite, because it wraps up the Rose storyline on a soul-crushing down note. (That's not me hating on Rose; that's me loving downer endings.) It brought back Mickey, who's always awesome. Jackie and Pete have a glorious reunion. The Daleks and the Cybermen! There are some awesome bits of dialog, such as when Jackie and Pete first see each other, and the Cyberman / Dalek exchange in the doorway. The Torchwood storyline comes to a close. And the ending always makes me a little sad, even though I know it's coming; David Tennant and Billie Piper put in wonderful performances after they're separated.
As for the best, it's "The Girl in the Fireplace." From the stellar writing to the unorthodox use of time travel to the brilliant acting of Tennant and Sophia Myles, it's flawless. Okay, the horse thing is a little weird, but I don't think it's a flaw per se.
EDIT: "School Reunion" would be my second favorite, because you get to see David Tennant as a fanboy, and the tension between The Doctor, Rose, and Sarah is a nice touch.

School Reunion is one of my favorite classic Who stories of all time. There's just something to the dynamics in it as well as the fact that the monsters are kinda creepy. Plus, Sarah Jane reappearing is really what made the episode for me since it's a major link between the old and modern series.
I went for Army of Ghosts/Doomsday as the best of Series 2 for a couple of reasons. One, as much as I love Girl in the Fireplace, it's ruined by that fact that I don't buy the love story part of it, at least on the Doctor's half. Two, it's probably the best finale of the modern series thus far. I mean, it's a good climax of all the themes, the villains are handled very well, and it handles Rose pretty well. While she's probably my least favorite companion of the modern series, she really grew as a character during Series 2 and this story is really the accumulation of all that.

School Reunion reinforced Rose's inadequacy when compared to Mickey and K-9, let alone f'n Sarah Jane Smith.
Best: Girl in the Fireplace
Favourite: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit.
Been a while, so I went with the cybermen two-parter. Brutal, emotional and a great return for an old villain. This is possibly the weakest season since the return.
I don't love Girl in the Fireplace as much as some it would seem.
School Reunion was great fun.
I went with the finale, as it just had so many moments, which made it a great final episode of a series.

BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was the main form of treatment in China for psychiatric illnesses until the development of antipsychotic drugs in the 1950's. Antipsychotic drugs have become the primary intervention for schizophrenia, although herbal medicines can still form part of the treatment. OBJECTIVES: To review Chinese herbal medicine, used alone or as part of a TCM approach, for people with schizophrenia and related psychoses. SEARCH STRATEGY: We undertook electronic searches of the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's register (December 2003), the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Database (TCMLARS) (October 2003), Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) (December 2003), China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (May 2004), Complementary Medicine Database (AMED) (December 2003). We contacted the Chinese Cochrane Centre, the Cochrane Complementary Medicine Field and first authors of included studies and inspected reference lists for additional studies. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included all relevant randomised controlled trials involving people with schizophrenia-like illnesses, allocated to Chinese herbal medicine, including any Chinese herbs (single or mixture), compared with placebo/no treatment or antipsychotic drugs. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We independently extracted data and calculated fixed effects relative risk (RR), the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for homogeneous dichotomous data, and, where appropriate, the number needed to treat (NNT) on an intention-to-treat basis. For continuous data, we calculated weighted mean differences (WMD). MAIN RESULTS: Only one small trial of the seven included studies truly evaluated TCM for schizophrenia. The other trials evaluated Chinese herbs for schizophrenia. We found one study comparing Chinese herbal medicine with antipsychotic drugs. Data for the global state outcome 'no change/worse' favoured people allocated to antipsychotic medication (n=90, RR 1.88 CI 1.2 to 2.9, NNH 4 CI 2 to 12). Six trials compared Chinese herbal medicine in combination with antipsychotic with antipsychotic drugs alone. One trial found global state 'not improved/worse' favoured the herbal medicine/antipsychotic combination (n=123, RR 0.19 CI 0.1 to 0.6, NNT 6 CI 5 to 11). Two studies (n=103) also found short-term data from the Clinical Global Impression scale favoured the herbal medicine plus antipsychotic group (WMD -0.46 CI -0.9 to -0.1) compared with those given only antipsychotics. Significantly fewer people in the experimental group left the study early compared with those given antipsychotics alone (n=1004, 6 RCTs, RR 0.30 CI 0.16 to 0.58, NNT 21 CI 18 to 35). Reports of constipation were significantly lower in the treatment group compared to those receiving antipsychotics (n=67, 1 RCT, RR 0.03 CI 0.0 to 0.5, NNH 2 CI 2 to 4). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Chinese herbal medicines, given in a Western biomedical context, may be beneficial for people with schizophrenia when combined with antipsychotics. Traditional Chinese medicine is also under-evaluated, but results from one pioneering study that attempted to evaluate TCM should encourage further trials.

Fans have been so hot for Grande's fifth studio album that she literally counted down the hours to its early Friday morning release. The singer's new album, "thank u, next", includes a song titled NASA.
Elsewhere, Ariana has also received praise from Sharon Osbourne, who recently said she is "so proud" of the pop star.
There was another version where Grande "was getting married" and one where she didn't and another "with nothing, we're not talking about anything" she added. At the end of the video Granda approaches the couple, and instead of pulling Melton towards her, she pulls the girl towards her and looks like she is about to kiss her, before the creative cuts out.
As we previously reported, Grande passed on the opportunity to perform at the ceremony.
Have you got her new album? "I feel relieved n overwhelmed n grateful. thank u for everything", she responded.
Now Grande has taken to Twitter to refute his suggestion. It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous. Later, in "Ghostin", Grande wrestles with the conflict of being in one relationship while mourning another one: "I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again/ Over him, mmh/ I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again/ "Stead of ghostin" him".
Other fans think Grande could be experimenting with women, or may be bisexual. It causes a stir of confusion especially in social media, until last February 7 when the pop superstar finally sets the record straight on Twitter calling Grammy's executive producer Ken Ehrlich's statement as a lie.
You can listen Ari's full album above and hear all of her references to Pete and Mac for yourself.
Another reading of Grande's message in "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" runs a bit deeper. Grande and Davidson's highly publicized relationship ended, and the two young stars were left coping with heartbreak, as millions watched. You can ask Melissa Etheridge, who finished her cancer treatment and I put her out on stage, bald, doing Janis Joplin.
Some may wonder why Cleveland agreed to take on Knight's contract , but they're adding picks in hopes of building for the future. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni drafted Shumpert with the 17th pick in 2011 when he was coach of the New York Knicks.
Eric Swalwell tried to corner him during Friday's House Judiciary Committee hearing . Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker fired back when Democratic California Rep.
He won the American League's Triple Crown in 1966 when he hit.316 with 49 home runs and 122 RBI. Robinson's 21-year playing career began with the Cincinnati Redlegs in 1956 at the age of 20.
He's still there on the bench.' That's when I found out. I am going to miss him an bad lot". It was like eight minutes to go.


Brunhilde is a young goldfish who lives underwater with her wizard father, Fujimoto, but escapes on the back of a jellyfish to see the outside world. Soon she washes ashore in a Japanese fishing village, where she's found by a five-year-old boy named Sōsuke, who decides to keep her and rename her Ponyo. Anxious to find his daughter, Fujimoto calls upon the wave spirits to return her home. But Ponyo decides that she wants to become human to be with Sōsuke, and uses her father's magic potion to do so, causing an imbalance that wreaks havoc upon the village and the world at large. So Fujimoto consults Ponyo's mother, who reveals that Sōsuke must pass a test of his love for Ponyo for them to remain together while restoring nature to its proper order.
Inspired by Han Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" (though with little similarity to the Disney film adaptation), director Hayao Miyazaki sought to explore notions of first love and responsibility to others with Ponyo, while also associating the power of magic to the natural world – a magic that's recognized and honored by the film's wisest human characters. This idea of humans living in balance with nature is a common theme across much of the director's work. Miyazaki was also exploring new ways of evolving the art of traditional 2D animation by using curved, organic shapes instead of straight lines, still animating by hand rather than by computer, but attempting to give the result a more fluid and dynamic look. This style is strongly on display during the film's stunning tsunami sequence, as Ponyo returns to Sōsuke atop giant waves of fish. The film is also notable for another stirring score by composer Joe Hisaishi, a frequent Miyazaki collaborator.
GKids' new Blu-ray edition presents the film in its original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio in 1080p HD. The source for this transfer is the original Ghibli animation master and the compression is stable at about a constant 33 Mbps (as compared to the Disney BD, on which the datarate varied wildly from moment to moment). Comparing the GKids presentation to the Disney disc, I much prefer this version. The image is a bit cleaner and less noisy looking, with slightly richer colors. Disney's BD was released in 2010, so it could simply be a factor of improvements in video compression in the 7 years since. Whatever the reason, this HD image is rock steady and absolutely gorgeous. Note that when you choose either English or Japanese audio, the opening titles and credits appear in that language too, via seamless branching.
Here's some great news: While the Disney Blu-ray included only dubbed English in lossless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, GKids' new disc includes the original Japanese audio in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio too, along with French 5.1 Dolby Digital. Better still, while the Disney disc included only English SDH for the hearing impaired (aka "dubtitles"), the new GKids edition offers that along with English subtitles for the Original Language Version (a proper Japanese-to-English translation of the original script), as well as French (though it omits the Disney BD's Spanish subs). Both lossless audio tracks are fantastic, with smooth panning, lovely atmosphere, and great clarity.
You also don't get the Disney BD's silly Enter the Lands teasers for other Ghibli films, which were basically just English language introductions in the event you know nothing about them. The Meet Ponyo piece was just Disney executives explaining why you should like the film. The promo pieces for the other films are included on the respective GKids BDs for those films. So the only thing you may miss is the piece with Miyazaki and Lasseter, but even that is really just 3 minutes of glad-handing. Missing from the Japanese Blu-ray version of this film are a couple of teasers, Japan-specific product spots, a short featurette on the Japanese voice talent for the film, and the like. It's not a big deal; all of the significant material has been included here. The package also includes a DVD disc that offers the film in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen SD, with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (but not lossless) in dubbed English, the original Japanese, and French, with optional English dubtitles, English translation for the original Japanese version, and French. It features some, but not all, of the same extras as the Blu-ray. There's no Digital Copy code, but the package does include a wonderful booklet featuring statements on the film by producer Toshio Suzuki and director Hayao Miyazaki, as well as English translation lyrics for two songs from the film.
Just how good is GKids' new Ponyo Blu-ray? It is, beyond any doubt, the definitive English-language edition of this film on Blu-ray, as it combines all of the significant extras from both the Ghibli and Disney Blu-rays, while also offering superior A/V quality that corrects the Disney Blu-ray's grave mistakes. If you're a serious Ghibli fan (unless you already own the Japanese Blu-ray), it's absolutely a must-have disc. As of the time of this review, it's just $17 on Amazon. Do not hesitate. Highly recommended.


Asa-Chang is a self-taught tabla-bongo artist from Japan. In tha late 80's, he collected a group of musicians from Tokyo's underground scene and formed Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. After several albums with the band, he left in the early 1993 to pursue a solo career. This includes recording and performing with his own unitAsa-Chang & 巡礼, as well as working with several artists in Japan's underground and pop scenes, such as Chara, Fishimans, CORNELIUS, and UA.

A demonstrator waves a huge Iranian flag during a pro-government rally in the northeastern city of Mashhad, Iran, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018.
Iran recently erupted in country-wide protests.
Anti-government protestors turned to the same target: the wealthy elite.
Iranian millennials hardly keep their wealth a secret, especially in the age of social media.
Iran recently erupted in country-wide protests that brought out both anti- and pro-government forces.
The demonstrators in Iran mobilized against everything from the government to the economic woes of the country. Gradually, across the country, anti-government protestors turned to the same target: a wealthy elite that has reaped the benefits of a top-down theocratic regime.
At least a part of this seems to have been spurred by a new openness from Iranian millennials, who hardly keep their wealth a secret, especially in the age of social media.
"When the occasional Maserati roars through the crowded streets of Tehran, past crowded buses and shabby domestic sedans, pedestrians sometimes unleash streams of curses in its wake," Shashank Bengali and Ramin Mostaghim write in the Los Angeles Times.
The LA Times used the popular "Rich Kids of Tehran" Instagram account as an example, where "attractive 20-somethings flaunt $1,000 Hermes sandals and frolic poolside at lavish mansions in a capital where, perhaps in another part of town, the desperate hawk their own kidneys to feed their families."
As Iranian journalist Amir Ahmadi Arian puts it in an op-ed for the New York Times, "Wealthy young Iranians act like a new aristocratic class unaware of the sources of their wealth."
"They brazenly drive Porsches and Maseratis through the streets of Tehran before the eyes of the poor and post about their wealth on Instagram," Arian writes.
The inequalities majority of the protestors face has been building up for the past decade, and seemed to finally reached a breaking point, especially after President Hassan Rouhani introduced an austerity budget.

A Wild Wild Country movie is coming and Priyanka Chopra is going to star
We couldn't be more excited for this news if we tried.
When Netflix dropped Wild Wild Country, their documentary about an Oregon sex cult in the Eighties, there was one character whose presence seemed more sinister than all others.
We're talking about Ma Anand Sheela, the enigmatic Indian businesswoman who took cult leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's teachings and turned them into a booming, all-controlling enterprise that, eventually, led to immigration fraud, attempted murder, wire-tapping and bioterrorism.
It was Sheela, Wild Wild Country argued, who was the cunning brains behind this particular outfit. And it was Sheela who largely managed to escape any repercussions, serving just 39 months of her 20-year jail sentence for the 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack, in which more than 700 people were infected with food poisoning, before she moved to Switzerland where she now runs nursing homes.
Ma Anand Sheela's mugshot
What was going through Sheela's brain throughout the course of her involvement with Rajneesh and the cult? What were her motives? What is her life like now? What kind of woman is she?
We will soon get the answer to at least some of these questions, thanks to the news that a biopic of Sheela's life has been greenlit. Priyanka Chopra confirmed the news to Ellen DeGenere, revealing that she will not only star as Sheela but will produce the film, too.
"We've developing it as the character of Sheela, who was this guru who originated from India, [Rajneesh's] right-hand woman? And she was just devious and created a whole cult in America, brought people here," Chopra explained. "[The documentary] was amazing, and I'm developing that next for me to star in and produce, which I think would be really cool."
Chopra is working with the Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Wag The Dog) on the movie.
Fans are already excited to see Chopra take on this juicy role of a woman with no qualms about committing serious crimes.
Considering the fact that Chopra has already turned in truly iconic work as a villain opposite Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in Baywatch, we think this is perfect casting.

Rules and Rants
Officiating the PGA Championship of Canada
Golf Canada is proud to be a partner of the PGA of Canada. And, with such partnership, opportunities arise to assist each other in the execution of our championships. Last week, my colleagues and I were fortunate enough to officiate the PGA Championship of Canada at Magna Golf Club in Aurora, Ont. It was exciting to see spectacular play from the top 64 club professionals from across the country.
The championship was a match play event which differs in the Rules from stroke play championships. In any form of play, a referee is one who is appointed by the Committee to decide questions of fact and apply the Rules. He or she must act on any breach of a Rule that he observes or is reported to him.
In match play, there is an exception: unless a referee is assigned to accompany the players throughout the entire match, he has no authority to intervene in a match other than in relation to Rule 1-3 (Agreement to Waive Rules), 6-7 (Undue Delay), and 33-7 (Disqualification Penalties; Committee Discretion). The first two days we were faced with this type of officiating and only able to intervene under the 3 scenarios.
Beyond these three Rules, if we saw a Rules breach, we were unable to interject in a match. Note 1 under Rule 2-5 states a player may disregard a breach of the Rules by his opponent provided there is no agreement by the sides to waive a Rule (Rule 1-3). It is solely up to the player whether he wants to overlook a Rules breach of his opponent.
My colleague Adam Helmer, was called into an interesting scenario during the first round. A player had hit the cart path on his approach shot and it bounced down the road into a manhole. A spectator witnessed the ball enter the manhole which allowed the player to find and identify the ball. The player was able to take relief under Rule 24-2b, relief from interference by an immovable obstruction through the green. Note 2 to Rule 24-2 states if a ball to be dropped or placed under this Rule is not immediately recoverable, another ball may be substituted which was the case with this ruling.
Here's another interesting situation that arose at Magna. Prior to the Round of 16, a competitor approached an official inquiring about a ruling. The competitor presented the situation; if he was chipping onto the green, and his opponent's ball was a few feet from the pin, could he request his opponent to leave his ball beside the hole. In a stroke play competition, this would be a disqualification under Rule 22-1, but this situation differed due to the form of play. The Rules do not require the opponent to leave the ball beside the hole to assist his opponent, and the opponent was not in breach of the Rules by asking his player to leave the ball there. In Decision 22/5 there is a similar situation where an assisting ball is requested to be replaced after the opponent had marked his ball.
There were four Golf Canada championship staff members helping out with the PGA Championship which allowed each of us to be assigned to a match in the quarterfinals, entitling us to apply the Rules in each match. Each official walked with the groups for the remainder of the championship encountering clarification questions and routine rulings. It was a great experience assisting the players and the PGA of Canada throughout the week.

Digging up the past at one of Texas' oldest missions.

Remembering Waylon Jennings, who passed away on this day.
J.D. McPherson-Let The Good Times Roll-McPherson makes straight-up, unabashed old-fashioned rock-n-roll like no one else. Taking a more R&B based tack than rockabilly, he breathes new life into one of America's most vital art forms. Part of this is in the way he approaches what has traditionally been considered a hide-bound genre. Using modern production techniques that owe more to RZA than Sam Phillips, his songs are sneaky. They're full of little modern ticks that ear doesn't quite pick up, making everything sound fresh. It isn't until you listen closely that you realize these aren't straight up recreations of 50's rock, but crafty homages. This is a long, fancy way of saying I love this record and I can't stop listening to it.
Tecate, because it's in the high 60's and sunny out right now. We've got another cold front moving in, so better drink up and enjoy the sunlight while I can, right?

We've probably reached Peak Marfa.
Can't wait until the Coen Bros make this into a movie.
A somewhat more sensationalistic look at el Valle de Juarez.
New Mexico's favorite industry is back in business.
Man, I am really glad to see Dwight Yoakam back on a major label and making new music. He's going out on tour again, and Sam Outlaw is opening for at least one date if you want a great night of California country, that'd be the one to see. Dwight's always played with form and sound, trying to meld a lot of different things. His newer stuff seems more ragged and rockin' drawing more on Liverpool than Bakersfield. I'll take it.
Shiner Birthday Beer. I try to pick up a sixer of these every year. This is certainly one of the most memorable of their birthday beers, a chocolate stout that tastes pretty much exactly like a chocolate cake. This one's good in small doses, since it's heavy and rich. Definitely best enjoyed on it's own or after dinner.

Some cool crowdfunding type stuff. My pal Zach, best known as Rushmore Beekeepers, is on Patreon, where you can commission songs. So is Rodney Hayden who we'll be talking about in a bit. As broken and dysfunctional as the record industry has become, it seems inevitable folks would find a way to just cut out the labels all together. I'm not sure how the future is going to shake out but I really like this model and think it's a lot better, basically subscribing to an artist, than waiting for the industry to come up with something close but crappier.
Looks like someone forgot to pay their bribe. Lest we forget, the DEA likes their cut of that action too.
Nick Offerman narrating a western? Count me in!
It's fall and the weather is perfect for sitting around a mesquite campfire out in the desert. What could be a better soundtrack than the mesquite smoked voice of Rodney Hayden singing a pack of traditional cowboy ballads? Rodney's got a great voice and a way with these old songs that just fits. He's also bringing western folk music into the 21st Century by making it widely available in lots of new and innovative ways, like pay-what-want albums and the afore mentioned Patreon account. I was raised on Ian Tyson and Don Edwards records so I've got a real soft spot for cowboy folk and this certainly scratches the itch with aplomb.
Coffee and Beer are two of my three favorite beverages. (Bourbon being the third. Combining all three might make my typing a little sloppy.) This combines the two flavors really well, with good, dark hints of coffee and chocolate along with the malty taste of stout. Good and rich and perfect for cooler weather or after dinner in lieu of desert. My neighborhood joint has it on tap, but don't let that stop you from picking up a very nicely designed sixer.

Stratford Hotel
London, UK | 2011 | Case-study
"A man who is tired of London is tired of life", said Samuel Johnson in 1777. His quote became famous due to the timelessness of its message. The city has always been an endless source of variety; both a mirror towards history and a beacon of modernity, London is where the Hotel has been located.
The location of the hotel aimed for a developing area, where a punctual intervention could have effects at an urban level. Stratford area has had a very interesting evolution in time, being an important transportation hub for all airports and major train stations in the area.
Given that mobility has turned into a feature of everyday life, the concept on which the hotel project is based is to suggest through sequences the impression of movement in volumes, geometry, space configuration, structure and natural light sources. Thus the result has been materialized into various tangential volumes, flexible enough to integrate into the given context and accomodate the required utilities, delivering a lively and dinamic product.
Mention must be made that no interventions whatsoever have been made into the existing urban tissue, and the delivered product is an exclusive result to a series of existing factors, utility requirements and luminous and aesthetic criteria. The aim was to creat a system capable of offering unity, cohesion and fluidity to the surrounding area.
The building's geometric configuration allows natural light to bathe all interior spaces, feature which represents a great asset in a location where every ray of sun is longed for. What is more, the relationship between the building and the public space generates interdependence thanks to transparencies, continuty of materials and textures.


It might be the week after Thanksgiving but after spending a few days down at camp this week I have to say that I am still so thankful to be able to call Minnehaha Springs 'home' for the summer, in fact for anytime of year. In this latter part of November the mornings were crisp and frosty and the days were warm and rich with sunshine. The nights were clear and presented stunning, starry skies.
It was so great being there for a busy couple of productive days, with great and productive discussions including (but not limited to) ropes course maintenance, upcoming lake projects, archery improvements, staff lounge, firepit locations and much more!
With visions of summer; crazy and silly – not sad!
We'll make everything work, always willing to rearrange!
In the midst of our busiest time for returning families securing their summer spot, I was struck by a number of applications this morning. One was for a 16-year old female camper returning for her 10th summer, another was a couple of 14-year old campers returning for their 7th summers. Wow, I thought. These numbers really hit home the fact that we are so fortunate to welcome these children and families back to camp each summer.
As young adults they have chosen to spend a great deal of their formative youth, and their free time each summer, with us at camp. The options they have each summer are numerous and can involve unlimited exposure to sports, cultures and much more. That our campus located in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia continues to hold an allure for them is impressive and speaks volumes towards their character and priorities.
As we see them grow in stature, size and maturity it is impossible not to be impressed. Too often we look down on the next generation and worry about what they hold in store for those of us that might depend on them in some respect. Check out this quote from a few years back, 8th century BC to be precise!
8th century. BC. Greek Poet. Woah!
Despite this omnipresent sense of forboding, there is hope. And that hope shows itself to us in the form of young adults who choose to be back with us each summer and truly grow up in some small or large way each summer at Camp Twin Creeks. If you have one of these long term campers in your home, thank you for your support and ongoing encouragement summer after summer!
On any given day as we work in our camp office and survey our camp-related emails and social media feeds we often receive article links that pertain to children, the world they live in and more as it pertains to summer camp. As parents, Amy and I acknowledge that we are learning and watching each and everyday as our kids grow and move through the world. All of us parents probably have similar fears and concerns and ultimately just want the best for our kids as they grow. With that being said here are a couple of pieces that we found most interesting.
The first article I wanted to share is a lengthy one and contains some stunning statistics regarding adolescents and their use of social media and electronic devices in general.
The second is a TED talk video that asks for bravery, adventure and the option for girls specifically to be allowed to try to take flight, literally and figuratively. We might not parasail at Twin Creeks but I would imagine a similar feeling of exhilaration exists as a camper prepares to jump off the zip line platform or get up on a waterski.
Summer camp is not the only solution of course but we continue to feel that a 2-week stay allows campers to make great choices, enjoy time away from electronic screens and experience so many scenarios and personalities on any given day. We hope you agree and look forward to seeing your child back at camp in 2018!

Advertising is a marketing mean and tool, the basic function of innate is to spread. The ad design goal is "to win the hearts of the people", a simple analysis about the main points: first, to strengthen the appeal of the audience of products memory, shape differences and personalized advertising theme. Second, publicity the value of the products, including the value of the product itself, including its value to society oriented, in order to win the audience's sense of identity, resonate, stimulate the purchase desire.
In contemporary society, social media basically has replaced the face by face to communicate. Everyone needs and wants dialogue. But more and more people use social media, likes Weibo, Wechat, Line or Facebook. Therefore, more and more people cannot face by face to communicate each other. For example, so many people going out for diner with friend, they play phone instead to talk each other.
My design concept is focus on communication by face to face. I want people realize they ignore each other's dialogue, they need talk each other by face to face.
My idea purport to let these people can face to face communication, put down your mobile phone. I will choose the media network, posters and billboards as my design media. Because the media is the most possible can let young people see the ads.
Advertising is to complex information in the application of common sense for simple communication, carrying the brand proposition and commitment. Brand advertising language are generally follow the characteristic concise, short and pithy, able to puncture a fallacy with one remark brand value connotation.
So my design concept is focus on communication by face to face. I want people realize they ignore each other's dialogue, they need talk each other by face to face. My client is 16 years old to 30 years old. Most of these people love to use social networks, they focus on playing mobile phone and haven't enough time to communicate with each other. My idea purport to let these people can face to face communication, put down your mobile phone. I will choose the media network, posters and billboards as my design media. Because the media is the most possible can let young people see the ads.

The decade of 50s was characterized by romanticisation of communism in India. Such was the romance that many leaders of the post-Independence dispensation, most of who claimed to have made huge sacrifices for India's Independence, hailed the Communist takeover of China. It may be underscored that India was the first non-communist country to accord diplomatic recognition in January 1950 to China consequent to the establishment of Mao's rule.
Amongst the exceptions, who did not romanticize and saw the writing on the wall very clearly, was Sardar Patel. In his letter dated 7 November 1950 to Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel wrote: "…outside the Russian Camp, we have practically been alone in championing the cause of Chinese entry into the UNO… it (China) continues to regard us with suspicion and the whole psychology is one, at least outwardly of skepticism perhaps mixed with little hostility… it looks as though it is not a friend speaking in that language but a potential enemy…"
Further, Sardar Patel warned of a two-front situation after the disappearance of Tibet as a buffer country. He said: "Thus, for the first time after centuries, India's defence has to concentrate itself on two fronts simultaneously. Our defence measures have so far been based on the calculations of superiority over Pakistan. In our calculations, we shall now have to reckon with Communist China…"
How prescient!
Why did the dispensation ignore Sardar Patel's warning? Why did the dispensation, which prided itself in having achieved independence only by Satyagraha, did not find it abominable that the Communism was foreign ideology and had travelled from Russia to China after murder of more than three million and two million people in the respective countries.
Finally, when it arrived in India, the same worshipers of non-violence were so indulgent with the Communism and the Communists!
The communist leadership in India were not ideologically and physically bred in underground manner. Nor did they go through the hardship of jungles. Most of them were privileged lot, who received their education in Oxford and Cambridge in UK. It is here that they were indoctrinated by the erstwhile British masters and returned to India as diehard Communists.
These so-called Communists were perfectly married to the British agenda in the pre-colonial period. Left-liberalism was the perfect tool to legitimize the colonial rule as it robbed Indians of any sense of pride in India's past. This phenomenon was not confined to India alone.
Post Cold War the mantle of patronage to left wing extremisms has gradually shifted to European countries which are using it as leverage to pursue their economic and religious agenda.
Later, these very communists , who abused Indian history, religion and Indian social structure captured academic institutions and intellectual space in India. Educational institutions in Bengal, which at one time produced such brilliant scientists, began to churn out purposeless graduates steeped in denial and negativity.
Communism, in fact, robbed Bengal of its scientific and productive temper and intellectual capital. Such was the momentum of communists that hardly any university in India was left un-impacted by their diabolical onslaught.
Even a newly established university like the JNU, far from promoting pioneering research, sunk into leftist cynicism and sterile pseudo -intellectualism.
The 50s, therefore also witnessed massive inroads by Communists in all spheres of activity and governance in India. The then government had its share of Communists or Communist sympathizers. VK Krishna Menon was more than just left leaning. Some of the declassified documents of that period are not very charitable about his international linkages. This period was also characterized by great Soviet-China communist bonhomie, and bitter and fierce Cold War.
Concomitant with the communist (ideological as well as physical) and Pakistan threat was a concerted move by the Indian dispensation to humiliate and degrade the armed forces. There were defining geopolitical developments during the period. Pakistan had joined the CENTO and SEATO, whose architect was none other than the US. The ideological fissures in the subcontinent became deep and sharp.
It had military manifestations as well. The two-front situation – further exacerbated. But the left oriented leadership continued to treat the Indian Army as colonial instrument. It is another matter that they themselves had been nurtured as colonial instruments to serve British interests. The Soviet Union which spearheaded the international communist movement therefore did not find it difficult to subvert and recruit the Indian leadership. Indian Generals during this period were trifled with. An Army Chief was told that it was none of his business to bother about China.
A Prime Minister went to the extent of saying that he does not need the Army and could do without it. Discussions were held in parliament about employment of Army in agriculture. Those who supported these moves in the parliament include some unthinkable names. With little effort these names can be ascertained.
In the 50s the ruling party did not have any insecurity on account of political opposition. There were however unfounded rather purely imagined suspicions vis-à-vis the Indian Army. No geopolitical development and no threat were strong enough to outweigh these apprehensions of the ruling class.
During that period, Ayub Khan in Pakistan, Sukarno in Indonesia and King Mahendra in Nepal, abandoned Western pattern of multi-party democracy and opted for 'grassroots democracy'. The victim of the insecurity of the Indian leadership was the Indian Army.
It was perceived as a potential villain, a perception no less fueled by the bureaucrats, who still basked in colonial hangover, wherein Oxford and Cambridge became the ultimate destination for their loved children, only to be replaced by the US later.
This sin perpetrated by the leaders on their own army, was bound to recoil, and it did in 1962.
The myopia of these thankless leaders did not extend beyond exigencies of office'. They undermined the role of INA and the Naval Mutiny in securing India's Independence, a fact authenticated by Clement Atlee. They deliberately ignored that the India, they were presiding over, was put together by none other than the Indian Army – if 1947-48 war in J&K, if Operation Polo in September 1948 and if the Liberation of Goa in 1961, was of any consideration.
Pakistan, meanwhile, had bridged the Cold War fissures with China. Our leaders bereft of strategic sense failed to realize the significance of 1947 Indo-Pak war towards creating geographical contiguity between the PoK and China. By managing to retain a certain portion of occupied territory (PoK) in Kashmir after the ceasefire, Pakistan became a direct geographic interlocutor with China.
Pakistan without the PoK would have had little strategic value for China. It would not have been able to cede 5000 sq km territory of PoK to China and 1300 Km Karakoram Highway that connects Islamabad with Kashgar in Xinjiang. Without this territory the envisaged 'Economic Corridor' linking China with Gwadar port would have also not been possible.
The fact that border negotiations between Pakistan and China had begun in 1961 and the broad principals were agreed upon within months after Indo-China war in 1962 does raise suspicion about some sort of understanding between the leadership of Pakistan and China about the Indo-China War.
These geopolitical developments when seen through the Communist or left – liberal prism in India, was not a matter of concern and priority. The nexus between Pakistan and China meant nothing to them.
India therefore deserved the rude blow from China. But for this, let us consider what would have happened.
The destruction of the Indian Armed Forces from within would have continued and by 1965 may have rendered a situation by which there would have been nothing to stop Pak forces to Delhi.
The Communists, who had infiltrated every organ of the State, would have in all probability taken over major portion of India. The 1962 War did politically contain them but yet they managed to retain their influence in West Bengal and Kerala. The Indian communists remained a force despite some of them openly siding with China in the 1962 War.
These communists had no qualms about China even as it supported the Naxalites and the insurgents in India's northeast. They had no qualms about the strategic partnership between Pakistan and China. Their heart continued to bleed for both these countries.
The Indian Armed Forces, despite 1965, 1971, 1999 and years of counterinsurgency, is still struggling to find its place of honour and dignity. But for 1962, its condition by now would have been pathetic, a condition that many left liberals and bureaucrats wanted it to be in.
• But for 1962, there would have been unbridled propensity to couch criminalization as political revolution. Even now, communists use all their leverages in India and abroad to dub their criminal and anti-national activities as 'revolution'. The Indian romance about the 'Red Flag' at the cost of all other flags of productivity and progress though waning, is far from over.
• But for 1962, left-liberals would have promoted jihadi terrorism as 'revolution' with uninhibited fervor.
• But for 1962, China's Cultural Revolution would have served as an exemplar for our expanding communists.
• But for 1962, 'Binayak Sens' would have been ubiquitous.
• But for 1962 communist takeover of India was a distinct possibility. The closest India came to that was by way of an extra-constitutional authority called the National Advisory Council (packed with communists)whose principal effort was to further the communist agenda of their benefactor. This benefactor had acquired communist ideology by upbringing. There were however opposing forces capable of extracting their own price. It seemed as if Cold War had re-invented itself within the Indian ruling establishment.
Despite 1962 there has been steady supply of elements within the Indian polity, policy-makers and academia whose agenda has been to allow China to steal the march and dwarf India in international stature and prowess. It is this lobby that sabotages indigenous defence production and ensures that our foreign policy becomes hostage to vicissitudes of arms imports.
It is this lobby that advocates talks with China's client Pakistan continues at all costs. This lobby rather thrives on India's adversarial relationship with China. This lobby is loathe to any equal cooperative mechanisms between the countries.
But for 1962, this lobby would have placed this country under "one party rule". 1962 may as well have prevented communist takeover of India.

Evans penalised post-event at Rally Tasmania

Australian Rally Championship leader, Eli Evans, had his victory in round four of the national series taken away from him this evening after a post-event time penalty.
Evans and co-driver, Ben Searcy, initially finished second in Heat 2 of Subaru Rally Tasmania in their Skoda Fabia R5, but were later penalised for receiving outside assistance on the day's first stage.
Evans spun the Skoda mid-way through the opening stage on Sunday morning, and the car refused to restart.
After an anxious five minutes, Evans was tow started by a four-wheel drive vehicle and then continued on to complete the stage. However, this assistance is outside the regulations.
Evans and Searcy were called before the event stewards just prior to the podium presentation in Launceston, where footage of the incident is believed to have been played to them.
RallySport Mag has learned that Molly Taylor nearly collided head-on with the four-wheel drive vehicle towing Evans back onto the stage, which is believed to have prompted the investigation.

"I think we were all taken aback by the announcement and, of course, it's still subject to appeal by Eli's team," Taylor said afterwards.
"Having said that, from our perspective, it's fantastic to be back on the podium."
The penalty given, or the reasons behind it, have not yet been communicated by the Australian Rally Championship or the event organisers.
Evans and Searcy were demoted to third place overall for the weekend, and after a hour's delay in announcing the results, both refused to accept their trophies and the champagne on the podium.
Evans Motorsport are expected to appeal the decision.
