Life Of Aima Baig
Posted In Celebrities By Fiza Khan - 23 Feb 2019
The Life Of Aima Baig – Career, Personal Details And Her Journey!
Pakistan breeds a lot of talented people but unfortunately, because of lack of apt platforms; the competent and capable youth of our beloved land has been overlooked. In this blog, we would dig deep into details on Pakistan's most sought-after music sensation, Aima Baig and her career struggle.
Unlike our bordering country where talent hunt reality shows are helping young talent to get attention and raise their careers, Pakistan is far away from establishing such sort of shows.
But, credits to Coke Studio and Pepsi Battle Of The Bands, both of these platforms have exhibited the tremendous talent of Pakistan in the foregoing several years, and it seems that they have undertaken to raise the bar with every season.

In 2016, Strings presented the most invaluable treasure of the season. Yes, we're talking about none other than Momina Mustehsan who became famous globally after singing the iconic 'Afreen Afreen' with music maestro and qawwal Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
Following the exemplary, Strings carried another great and eloquent voice to the platform of Coke Studio Season 10 of the year 2017, can you guess?
The talented singer who captivated her supporters with her compelling voice, the versatile and cutie pie of Pakistani music industry who has performed her best and you have also seen her show in PSL Season 4, yes you've guessed it right.
We're talking about the talented girl with a charismatic personality – Aima Baig!

Her father raised the young singer in Oman. Since the age of seven, she's been enthusiastic about music. Aima lost her mother at a young age as she was diagnosed with cancer, Aima colluded with her uncle Mubashir Lucman for a public service message to promote awareness about cancer.
They both sang 'Summer Wine' for Shaukat Khanum Hospital fund drive. "My mother died of cancer, and I wasn't able to do anything at that time, so it was my way of giving back," Aima said while talking to an interviewer.

She unveiled to the news reporter that her family initially intimidated her from entering the media industry. "I've always been very private. A loner of sorts I'd say.
"I never sang in front of my parents, and when I decided to pursue my career as a singer, it wasn't always all rainbows and butterflies," she shared. "My family had their share of concerns, they knew survival in this industry is no piece of cake, but gradually they understood."
For Aima Baig and her career, wonders began to happen when she crooned a 'mili-naghma' live for PTV, that was 'Ae Rahe Haq Ke Shaheedon' – her eloquent voice brought tears to the martyrs' relatives eyes and produced stunning tallness for Aima Baig in the music career, validating her career.
Soon after her coming with Mubashir Lucman, Shiraz Uppal – the music director of Wajahat Rauf's Lahore Se Aagey picked Aima Baig as a playback singer, Aima Baig was at her best in her debut film, 'Kalabaaz Dil,' 'Befikriyan' or 'Ahle Dil.'
She acquired the LUX Style Award for Best Female Singer – Film for the song 'Kalabaaz Dil.' Aima Baig granted credit to Shiraz Uppal for all the efforts he put in the song and drove her as well to do the best.
Remembering the memories, Aima Baig said that it was one of the most obscure songs she has ever sung.
'That's not my genre, and that wasn't my voice either. I had made it up, because of the bazaari feel Shiraz wanted the song to have."
Aima was massively reprimanded for imitating Rekha Bhardwaj, the Bollywood singer to which Aima responded that I didn't follow her, I tried to accommodate the tone, and Shiraz Uppal provided me Rekha's reference for the song 'Kalabaaz Dil.'
Aima continued Rekha Bhardwaj is a living legend, and if somebody is comparing her with Rekha, it is an admiration for her.
Baazi, Baanware, Aatish, Malang are some of her soft and melodious songs from Coke Studio. The rising singer star has also presented her voice for blockbuster Pakistani films including Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Na Maloom Afraad 2, Arth 2, and Jawani Phir Nahi Aani. Aima Baig has colluded with Asim Azhar on a single made by once again Shiraz Uppal.
Aima believes it is her versatility which made her thriving in a brief time of span.
"I think I just have versatility in me as I can make any tone and sing in that as there are many girls with beautiful voices who are sitting idle," added Aima.
A few days before, Aima Baig performed in the glitzy opening ceremony of Pakistan Super League 2019 Edition 4 in Dubai. Along with popular Pakistani musician Shuja Haider, Aima sang our beloved pop song of 80's 'Disco Deewane' live at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Her fans cherished the powerpack performance. On the other hand, Aima Baig and the organizers of the PSL was reprimanded for using the favorite song without prior notice.
Late Nazia Hassan's brother Zohaib Hassan has stated that he will take legal action against the organizers for using her sister's hit song 'Disco Deewane' without his permission.
Zohaib said in his tweet that, "I was shocked to see that a popular platform like PSL used our track Disco Deewane without our prior permission. Outright infringement of intellectual property should be condemned, and I am going to take a legal stand on this one!".
Aima Baig is everyone's love but do you know who is Aima Baig's favorite? With whom she craves to sit and talk? Well, she is an aficionado of Fawad Khan and Fahad Mustafa! Aima's female crush is our very own Mahira Khan.
She explained in a talk show that the integrity in Mahira Khan's face is so appealing even she wants to have the same upon reaching her age.
'They are every girl's favorite, and both are brilliant,' Aima told the interviewer. Talking about hidden talent, Aima Baig revealed that she loves to write. 'I have always been a writer. In fact, I wrote my first script two years ago', she added.
The singer, Aima Baig has also got massive traction for her career after her new Coke Studio progress with Sahir Ali Bagga, a song named 'Mast Malang.'
Aima Baig did not confine herself to a particular circle, a specific career, which is a good thing, it is correctly said that music has no borders.
She shared in the interview that she'll be colluding with Bollywood pop singer Mika Singh for an upcoming project. She has posted a picture with him as well from her official Instagram account.
But, let us know if it is going to release or not since the current heated up situation between India and Pakistan is worsening every day.

MADARA MANJI: CORE
Madara Manji was born in Tokyo in 1988. In order to learn toreutic techniques for the foundation of his further works, at the age of 19, he moved to Kyoto and worked as an apprentice under a toreutic master for many years. Turned 23 years old, he aspired to become an artist after years in developing the foundation in various metal-processing skills, and continues to self-learn and present artworks. Artist studio is now located in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo.
He produces simple and modern sculpture through mastering Mokume-gane, a traditional Japanese toreutic technique. The development of Mokume-gane began c.400 years ago in the early Edo period. Layers of different metals were stacked together to create exquisite patterns that were decorated on Samurai swords, to symbolize beauty and power. As the Samurai culture faded, the procedure-heavy and time-consuming "Mokume-gane" nearly disappeared, that was until the recent collections and studies conducted by international art museums brought the technique back onto the world stage. Above all, Madara Manji is a pioneer in first adopting the traditional craft as a method to create.
MADARA MANJI's works are made of a mixture of various materials. The three-dimensional works, which are formed by repetitively beating and mixing mainly metal materials, are clothed in abstract painting-like patterns, which represent the complexities of the human mind.
The multiple materials contained in his cube works interfere with each other, and there is both repulsion and sympathy. While the equilibrium between the two is exquisitely maintained, the different species inherent in each other form their own unique visuals.The representation of work, which is based on a dangerous balance that seems to be about to collapse, seems to embody human beings themselves as they continue to struggle in the midst of modern society.
In his works, MADARA MANJI expresses the complexity and fascination of the human psyche, where emotions, experiences, ethics, instincts, and various other factors blend together.

Shir Chadash ("A New Song") Shabbat is an exciting new addition to KI's services. This abridged Kabbalat Shabbat service will be more focused on communal singing and a chavurah-style atmosphere. Yummy (light) food following services.


Am 27. und 28. Mai 2016 fand am Georg-Eckert-Institut ein internationaler Workshop zum Thema »Der Lehrfilm in historischer Perspektive« statt. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus dem Bereich der Geschichts-, Medien- und Filmwissenschaft diskutierten nicht nur über die kontroverse Debatte, die dieses neue Medium Anfang der 1920er Jahre hervorbrachte, sondern erörterten auch die ästhetischen, didaktischen und politischen Aspekte des Lehrfilms.
The aim of the workshop is to discuss, from an internationally comparative and transnational perspective, why, and how, educational films became to be used in schools as a 'new 'medium' for teaching and learning in the Interwar years, and what impact they had. The guiding objectives are based on three central research questions.
The workshop will explore the complex conflicts between the support and resistance expressed by a diverse range of political and social interest groups towards the introduction of educational films in schools in the 1920s. Prominent among these were debates among teachers and also among education policy makers. These disputes were firmly rooted in the context of the larger discourse on educational reform and corresponding educational practices in the Interwar years. The workshop will also address whether, and if so to what extent, educational films changed the culture of learning and teaching. In terms of the sociological content of textbooks and educational films the discussion will examine whether the films complemented traditional textbooks or were a substitute for them. When comparing the old medium – the textbook – with the new medium – the film – we must explore the specific influence of the individual educational media.
In addition a methodological meeting will explore the extent to which an analysis of medial and media-related aspects of knowledge building and of the popularisation of knowledge and expertise would provide a methodological impetus to study the rhetorical, narrative and iconographic strategies behind sites of memory and the construction of knowledge.

Taxes Are the Price We Pay for the DHS to Divert Funds from FEMA to ICE
By Rayn | September 12, 2018 - 9:24 am | September 21, 2018 News Commentary
Dem Senator Releases Documents Appearing to Show DHS Diverted $10M from FEMA to ICE:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/dem-senator-releases-documents-appearing-to-show-dhs-diverted-dollar10m-from-fema-to-ice/ar-BBNcMdW?li=BBnb7Kz&OCID=ansmsnnews11
(John Bowden) Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Tuesday night released documents appearing to show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) diverted nearly $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The documents, first reported by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, detail the agency's funding redirections for fiscal year 2018 and show that millions of dollars were diverted to ICE from several agencies.
My Commentary: Enjoy supporting what you hate. Taxes are the price of ICE…

Exercising "Freedom of Association" in Response to Calls For Murder and Nazi Tactics
By Rayn | January 15, 2016 - 7:52 am | April 1, 2016 Debates
The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, "Doublethinking About Tyranny"…
Rayn: Doublethinking about tyranny…
The irony of hypocrisy continues…
"I love how progs are always like 'I fucking hate these right-wing Nazis! I wish the government would just round them all up and kill them!'"
Genaire: Check this out, Anke.
Anke M.: Cannot happen, but with so many nuts coming out if the woodwork…yeah, let's level the playing field.
Genaire: Then you're as bad as the nuts you're advocating to be murdered.
Hitlerian.
Greg C.: Hehe, "round em up"…sounds like a plan. Use a big pink bus.
Rayn: Many murder-minded extremists think that their actions "level the playing field," Anke.
Rayn: I'm under no obligation to allow anyone to promote murder of innocents and Nazi tactics on my Facebook profile. Exercise such "freedom of speech" on my wall, and I will respond by decidedly exercising my "freedom of association." Goodbye.

Montel Williams Reveals Himself as Just Another Dangerously Radical, Fanatical Statist
By Rayn | January 3, 2016 - 8:42 pm | June 25, 2018 News Commentary
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following status update here, posted by Voluntaryist, Larken Rose, and originally shared it to my own wall, along with commentary…
TV personality, Montel Williams
Larken Rose: Wow, Montel Williams has gone full Nazi, basically calling for the National Guard to go in and mass murder the protesters at the Oregon thing. "Oh no! Someone is disobeying my god! SLAUGHTER THEM ALL!" For those Americans worried about Muslims killing non-believers, maybe you should be worried about STATISTS (like Montel Williams), since you are far more likely to be murdered in the name of their god ("government").
I haven't commented on the Oregon thing yet, mostly because it's statists arguing with statists over some dirt. On the bright side, at least it is an example of someone disobeying the political masters. But in the end, I can't exactly see any real progress coming from flag-waving statists shooting at flag-waving statists. But hey, at least it's making some state-worshipers (like Montel) show their blind, blood-thirsty allegiance to their political masters. Way to be a loyal house slave, Montel! Kiss the massuh's ass, and he will be nice to you! Stupid fascist moron.
My Commentary: Statists gonna State!
"Bow down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve." 🙂

"Civil Asset Forfeit" is Orwellian Newspeak for THEFT
By Rayn | October 14, 2015 - 8:17 pm | March 10, 2017 Correspondences
The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family…
Genaire: I'm here in OREGON. Passing by the highway patrol in their new mustang and I have to ask why do these pigs need two door vehicles? Do they plan to kill their victims right on the highway and call the coroner for transport?
Morgan S.: they do. at the tax payers expense. like they need mustangs and Lamborghini's and Lav's all at the tax dollar.
Rayn: Remember when I reflexively guessed that "civil forfeiture" was behind this "phenomenon" when we discussed it on the phone, earlier today, Genaire?:
Oregon Police Received $1.9 Million From Federal Asset Seizures:
http://www.wweek.com/portland/blog-32135-oregon-police-received-1-9-million-from-federal-asset-seizures.html
From the article: "a Washington Post investigation this weekend revealed that law enforcement in Oregon since 2001 got to keep $1.9 million in cash seized by police under ***A FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS FOR FORFEITURE WITHOUT A CRIMINAL CHARGE OR WARRANT."**** (emphasis mine)
Cops are career criminals, plain and simple! They rob, rape and murder their way through life under "color of law," and we, the tax-slaves, pay them for the privilege…
"People are bad, so we need a government made up of people are bad, so we need a government made up of people are bad, so we need a government made up of…"
Statists Gonna State!

But, Without Government, Who Would Torture and Serial Murder Young Women?

Ex-Cop Claims He Killed Woman Accidentally During Sex Games:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/05/ex-cop-steven-zelich-accidental-choke_n_5651853.html
(M.L. Johnson) A former Wisconsin police officer killed a 19-year-old college student from Oregon during a choking game that went too far, hid her body in a suitcase she brought to their sex date and then kept her body in his refrigerator for months, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
Steven Zelich, 52, of West Allis, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide — the Wisconsin equivalent of murder — in the 2012 death of Jenny Gamez from Cottage Grove, Oregon. Zelich also is a suspect in the death of a Farmington, Minnesota, woman.
My Commentary: But, without government, who would torture and serial murder young women, stuff their bodies into suitcases, then dump them onto the side of the road?
From the article, "A former Wisconsin police officer killed a 19-year-old college student from Oregon during a choking game that went too far, hid her body in a suitcase she brought to their sex date and then kept her body in his refrigerator for months, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday."
Also, there's this… "Kenosha County District Attorney Robert Zapf said he chose to charge Zelich with the most severe crime possible because he didn't believe the deaths were accidents.
'Killing two women over the span of 15 months under the circumstances in which the defendant acknowledged, by gagging them with a ball gag in the mouth, ropes around the neck, hands tied behind their back, blindfold over their face. He may call that accidental. I call it murder,' Zapf said."

Q: PHP - Parse SDK query on ParseGeoPoint doesn't work properly I've got an issue that I can't fix, it's been weeks I'm trying to do so but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, or if there's something wrong in the Parse PHP SDK.
I have built a website with Parse Server as the backend, it's a listing website with location detection, and I'm working on Chrome (I've tried Firefox and Safari as well, I get the same issue).
My steps:

*

*When you got to the home page, the browser asks you to allow location detection, I allow it.

*If you click on the location button, you can open a Google map into a modal and place the pin on click to the desired location, you can also set the distance range by moving a slider. I select London, UK

*I get the right console messages in Chrome:
DISTANCE: 87 Km

MARKER LAT: 51.522497992110246 - MARKER LNG: -0.12863733794108612
The issue comes here, the website shows only some of the posted Ads,  those ones that I have posted through a mobile app (my own source code too, with Parse iOS and Android SDKs), it doesn't display those ads I've submitted through the website. Weird thing, if I post ads from the website and I open my mobile app, I can see them!
And if I check my database, the GeoPoint coordinates of my ads are correctly stored, whether I submitted ads through the website or the mobile apps.
Lastly, If I perform a search by keywords with the search bar on the top of the page, I can find those ads I've posted through the website. So, basically, no keywords, no ads posted through the website...
Here's my PHP code to query ads (NOTE; the variables that start with $ADS_ are simple strings declared in another file, ex. $ADS_LOCATION = "ads_location", etc):
/*--- variables ---*/
$isFollowing = $_GET['isFollowing'];
$option = $_GET['option'];
$upObjID = $_GET['upObjID'];
$latitude = $_GET['lat'];   // 51.522497992110246
$longitude = $_GET['lng'];  // -0.12863733794108612
$dist = $_GET['distance'];
$distance = (int)$dist;     // 50
$category = $_GET['category'];
$sortBy = str_replace(' ', '', $_GET['sortBy']);
$keywords = preg_split('/\s+/', $_GET['keywords']);

// query Ads
try {
   $query = new ParseQuery($ADS_CLASS_NAME);
   $query->equalTo($ADS_IS_REPORTED, false);

   // it's following.php
   if ($isFollowing == true) {
      $currentUser = ParseUser::getCurrentUser();
      $cuObjIdArr = array();
      array_push($cuObjIdArr, $currentUser->getObjectId());
      $query->containedIn($ADS_FOLLOWED_BY, $cuObjIdArr);

   // it's User profile page
   } else if ($upObjID != null) {
      $userPointer = new ParseUser($USER_CLASS_NAME, $upObjID);
      $userPointer->fetch();
      $query->equalTo($ADS_SELLER_POINTER, $userPointer);

      if ($option == 'selling'){ $query->equalTo($ADS_IS_SOLD, false);
      } else if ($option == 'sold'){ $query->equalTo($ADS_IS_SOLD, true);
      } else if ($option == 'liked'){ $query->containedIn($ADS_LIKED_BY, array($userPointer->getObjectId())); }

   // it's index.php
   } else {

      // nearby Ads
      if ($latitude != null  &&  $longitude != null) {
         $currentLocation = new ParseGeoPoint($latitude, $longitude);

         $query->withinKilometers("location", $currentLocation, $distance);

      // nearby DEFAULT LOCATION COORDINATES
      } else {
         $defaultLocation = new ParseGeoPoint($DEFAULT_LOCATION_LATITUDE, $DEFAULT_LOCATION_LONGITUDE);

         $query->withinKilometers($ADS_LOCATION, $defaultLocation, $DISTANCE_IN_KM);

      }

      // keywords
      if (count($keywords) != 0) { $query->containedIn($ADS_KEYWORDS, $keywords); }

      // category
      if ($category != "All") { $query->equalTo($ADS_CATEGORY, $category); }

      // sort by
      switch ($sortBy) {
         case 'Newest': $query->descending("createdAt");
            break;
         case 'Price:lowtohigh': $query->ascending($ADS_PRICE);
            break;
         case 'Price:hightolow': $query->descending($ADS_PRICE);
            break;
         case 'MostLiked': $query->descending($ADS_LIKES);
            break;

         default: break;
      }// ./ sort by

   }// ./ If

   // perform query
   $adsArray = $query->find();
   if (count($adsArray) != 0) {
      for ($i = 0;  $i < count($adsArray); $i++) {
         // Parse Obj
         $adObj = $adsArray[$i];

         // image 1
         $adImg = $adObj->get($ADS_IMAGE1);
         // title
         $adTitle = substr ($adObj->get($ADS_TITLE), 0, 24).'...';
         // currency
         $adCurrency = $adObj->get($ADS_CURRENCY);
         // price
         $adPrice = $adObj->get($ADS_PRICE);

         echo '

         ';

         // Sold badge
         $isSold = $adObj->get($ADS_IS_SOLD);
         if ($isSold) { echo '

         echo '

         ';
      }// ./ For

   // no ads
   } else {
      echo '

No Ads found.

      ';
   }

// error
} catch (ParseException $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); }

The above code comes from a separate file called query-ads.php and it gets displayed in a div:

I perform an AJAX function to call query-ads.php:
function queryAds(catName, keywords) {
        // category
        if (catName == null) { catName = "All"; }
        document.getElementById("categoryName").innerHTML = '

';
        // keywords
        if (keywords == null) { keywords = ''; }

        // console.log('KEYWORDS: ' + keywords);
        // console.log('LAT: ' + latitude + ' -- LNG: ' + longitude);
        console.log('DISTANCE: ' + distance + ' Km');
        // console.log('SORT BY: ' + sortBy);

        $.ajax({
            url:'query-ads.php',
            data: 'lat=' + latitude + '&lng=' + longitude + '&distance=' + distance + '&category=' + catName + '&keywords=' + keywords + '&sortBy=' + sortBy,
            type: 'GET',
            success:function(data) {
                document.getElementById("adsGrid").innerHTML = data;
            },
            // error
            error: function(xhr, status, error) {
                var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");
                swal(err.Message);
        }});
    }

I thought it was an issue with ParseGeoPoint, but it's not, because if I make a text search for keywords, I can find Ads.

A: Found the solution, I'm posting it just in case someone else will encounter such issue on the Parse PHP SDK, because it's there since early 2018.
In my script that saves Ads in my database, I was storing lowercase keywords based on the description  and title of submitted items:
$kStr = $description. " " .$title. " " .$currentUser->getUsername();
$keywords = explode( " ", strtolower($kStr) );

Which was working fine, but since the PHP ParseQuery with a keywords filter needs at least an empty item in the array of keywords, I had to add this simple line below the above code:
array_push($keywords, "");

In this way, the database stores all proper keywords + an empty one: "", here's an example of how the keywords Arrat-type field looks like in the database:
[
  "lorem",
  "ad",
  "ipsum",
  "johndoe",
  "" <-- this is the empty item that the SDK needs to properly perform a query in case of additional filters (in my case, a ParseGeopoint one)
]

This may be just a temporary trick until Parse Server's developers will fix this issue. It works, so why not ;)

Four mosques in Birmingham, England were damaged overnight with a man seen smashing windows with a sledgehammer.
The force said in a statement the incidents "are being treated as linked".
"Neighbourhood officers are working closely with mosques around the West Midlands today," the force said.
"Since the tragic events in Christchurch, New Zealand, officers and staff from West Midlands Police have been working closely with our faith partners across the region to offer reassurance and support at mosques, churches and places of prayer," West Midlands Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson said in a statement.
"At the moment, we don't know the motive for last night's attacks," Thompson added. "At difficult times like this, it is incredibly important that everyone unites against those who seek to create discord, uncertainty and fear in our communities," he said.
Shabana Mahmood, a member of parliament for Birmingham, said the reported attacks were "truly terrible."
"I would urge all residents to remain calm and call [the police] with any info you may have," Mahmood tweeted.
In August last year, Birmingham mosques were attacked with catapults during evening prayers.
The city, in the Midlands, is home to a large Muslim community.
"I think that all religious institutions do need access to a high security budget [from the government], in light of the fact that far-right extremists have been left for too long," Kamran Hussain, general manager at Birmingham's Green Lane Mosque and Community Centre, told Al Jazeera.
"Far-right extremism ... is now in Eastern Europe, it is in America, and it has been left unchangelled in many aspects. We haven't addressed it in the media or even at government level."
Hussain's mosque was not targeted, but is close to those that were, such as the Witton Islamic Centre.
"The risk from Islamophobia has been on the rise for many years now," said a Witton Islamic Centre spokesperson. "This form of hate has fallen under the radar in many aspects, including some parts of the media and our intelligence and security services. The tragic events from last week's attacks in Christchurch have caused great concern among the Muslim community."
Saddique Hussain, trustee at the Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif, said it was impossible to fully secure a mosque.
"Trying to secure a building of this nature and calibre is extremely difficult, and not possible to do," he said. "A mosque needs to be an open place of worship. For example, we can't lock our doors when the prayers start because some people [are] late for prayers.
"To secure a place where the door is constantly open? ... You can't."
Worshipper Ali, 26, said: "People see what is going on in the world because of social media and they get annoyed. They kind of believe it and take it the wrong way. If I die in the mosque, I would be blessed. So, I think there should be no security and the doors should remain open."

Q: confusion in the output of cellfun function I want to find out the elapsed time, in the function file I wrote this piece of code;
function elapsed = elapsedTime(d1,d2)
%Input d1 = '2010/12/04 12:00:00'
%Input d2 = '2010/12/14 13:06:36'
d1r = regexp(d1,'((/|:)?|[ ])?','split');
d2r = regexp(d2,'((/|:)?|[ ])?','split');
elapsed = cellfun(@minus,d1r,d2r,'UniformOutput',false);
end

the output is the following:
ans =
    [1x4 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]

This output format is no good as I cannot use it to find the elapsed time!
How can I use it to map it to the actual output, should it not give an cell array like the following:
ans = '0000' '00' '00' '01' '06' '36'

is there any way to correct this?

A: You are subtracting strings, and expecting that numbers will result (in the form of strings).
What do you expect to happen if you'd do:
>> '3' - '10'

? If you say the answer should be '-7', then how about
>> 'a' - 'B'

?
The most comprehensible solution is to convert the strings to numbers, carry out the subtraction, and convert back to string:
elapsed = cellfun(@(x,y) ...
    num2str(str2double(y)-str2double(x)), ...
    d1r, d2r, 'UniformOutput', false);

A: If you're working with dates / timestamps you should probalby consider using datenum and datestr instead of re-inventing the date-parsing wheel:
function elapsed = elapsedTime(d1,d2)
%Input d1 = '2010/12/04 12:00:00'
%Input d2 = '2010/12/14 13:06:36'
fmt = 'yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:SS';

elapsed = diff(datevec( [d1;d2], fmt ),1,1)
end

This would return:
elapsed =

     0     0    10     1     6    36

Another bonus here is, that you can very easily adapt to changes in the date-format. You might also want to look at the etime and datevec function.

Food producers complain about China's virus tests on commodity imports
By Dominique Patton , Reuters
November 21, 2020 - 9:19 AM
BEIJING – Major food-producing countries are growing increasingly frustrated with China's scrutiny of imported products and are calling on it to stop aggressive testing for the coronavirus, which some say is tantamount to a trade restriction.
China says it has found the virus on the packaging of products from 20 countries, including German pork, Brazilian beef and Indian fish, but foreign officials say the lack of evidence produced by authorities means it is damaging trade and hurting the reputation of imported food without reason.
In a World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting Nov. 5-6, Canada called China's testing of imported foods and rejection of products that had positive nucleic acid tests "unjustified trade restrictions" and urged it to stop, said a Geneva-based trade official briefed on the meeting who declined to be identified.
Supported by Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Britain and the United States, Canada argued that China had not provided scientific justification for the measures, said the official.
Canada's Geneva-based mission to the WTO did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
China has only intensified its imported-food screening since then.
Last week, the Global Times, a tabloid backed by the ruling Communist Party, suggested that the presence of the novel coronavirus on imported food raised the possibility that the virus, widely believed to have originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year, may have come from overseas.
China began testing chilled and frozen food imports for the virus in June, after a cluster of infections among workers at a wholesale food market in the capital.
The World Health Organization says neither food nor packaging are known transmission routes for the virus.
But China, which has nearly stamped out local transmission of the disease, says there is risk of the virus re-entering the country on food products.
The pushback came after months of growing frustration at the way Chinese authorities have been scrutinizing imports, which trade partners complain does not adhere to global norms.

JFK nephew speaks out at Yelm school
The Olympian/March 11, 2005
By Jennifer Latson
Yelm -- Before environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke at the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, he'd already heard from critics.
"Someone who doesn't like you very much told me I was speaking at a cult," Kennedy told the crowd of more than 1,000 Ramtha students who gathered in the school's "Great Hall" on Thursday for his speech. The group laughed.
"I guess it would be OK if I spoke at Bob Jones University," Kennedy said.
Kennedy is the son of a U.S. senator who was shot to death while campaigning for the presidency and the nephew of slain President John F. Kennedy.
He was invited to speak as part of a tour promoting his latest book about the environment, "Crimes Against Nature."
Before speaking to the crowd, he dined at the home of the school's head, JZ Knight. The school's philosophy is based on the belief that Knight channels the spirit of Ramtha, a 35,000-year-old warrior from Atlantis.
"(Kennedy) is a golden boy from a golden family, but his true desire is to help make a difference in the world," Knight said.
Kennedy's environmental views are consistent with the school's philosophy, said spokesman Steve Klein.
"Part of the teaching is that all of Mother Nature is an organism," Klein said. "It's an understanding that all life is sacred."
Kennedy spoke of the sanctity of nature: "I don't believe that nature is God or that we should worship as though it's God, but I think it's the most powerful way God communicates to us," he said.
But his 11/2-hour talk focused less on the environment than on what he said is endangering it: U.S. government and the media becoming more controlled by corporations.
"This White House has invited the polluters in to write the rules and regulations," Kennedy said. "They are subverting the laws they are supposed to enforce."
He blames the news media for not alerting the public.
"The White House press corps has become stenographers for this administration," the environmental lawyer said.
And the White House administration itself borders on fascism, he said.
"Oppression is a continuum and we need to recognize that continuum if we're going to protect our democracy," Kennedy said. "Germany was a democracy that elected Hitler. Italy elected Mussolini."
David Burt, a Canadian fisheries biologist, said he appreciated Kennedy's candor.
"Somebody has to stand up and make things known. Good for Mr. Kennedy, to take the risks and say something," said Burt, a 15-year enrollee of the school.
Burt has seen fish populations decimated during his career and said he worries the political will to stop pollution may not come until too late.
"Our salmon populations coastwide on the West Coast are in deep trouble. A lot of river systems, their days are numbered," Burt said.
Beda Belpeer, a homeopathic doctor from Belgium who has attended the school for two years, said she admires Kennedy's bravery.
"For a lot of Americans, it takes courage to stand up against the president," Belpeer said.
Attendance at Kennedy's speech was limited to current members of the Ramtha school: More than half of them are in the middle of a spring retreat and had been camping in the Great Hall.
They danced to techno music before the speech began -- to get them "jazzed up," Klein explained -- and sat on their sleeping mats and pillows on the floor when Kennedy spoke.
"When the speaker's bureau told me I had an opportunity to speak here, I was really excited, because I just really wanted to see this place," Kennedy said. "I've had a tremendous amount of fun here and seeing all you people with no chairs.
"You're good people with good values, and all the values this country is supposed to stand for."


encode routines provide a high level interface to base 64 encoding and decoding. Base 64 encoding converts binary data into a printable form that uses the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ``+'' and ``/'' to represent the data. For every 3 bytes of binary data provided approximately 4 bytes of base 64 encoded data will be produced (see below). If the input data length is not a multiple of 3 then the output data will be padded at the end using the ``='' character.
EVP_ENCODE_CTX_new() allocates, initializes and returns a context to be used for the encode/decode functions.
EVP_ENCODE_CTX_free() cleans up an encode/decode context ctx and frees up the space allocated to it.
Encoding of binary base 64 data is performed in blocks of 48 input bytes (or less for the final block). For each 48 byte input block encoded 64 bytes of base 64 data is output plus an additional newline character (i.e. 65 bytes in total). The final block (which may be less than 48 bytes) will output 4 bytes for every 3 bytes of input. If the data length is not divisible by 3 then a full 4 bytes is still output for the final 1 or 2 bytes of input. Similarly a newline character will also be output.
EVP_EncodeInit() initialises ctx for the start of a new encoding operation.
terminator. EVP_EncodeUpdate() may be called repeatedly to process large amounts of input data. In the event of an error EVP_EncodeUpdate() will set *outl to 0.
terminator (i.e. 66 bytes in total).
EVP_ENCODE_CTX_num() will return the number of as yet unprocessed bytes still to be encoded or decoded that are pending in the ctx object.
terminator is returned from the function.
EVP_DecodeInit() initialises ctx for the start of a new decoding operation.
EVP_DecodeUpdate() decodes inl bytes of data found in the buffer pointed to by in. The output is stored in the buffer out and the number of bytes output is stored in *outl. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the buffer at out is sufficiently large to accommodate the output data. This function will attempt to decode as much data as possible in 4 byte chunks. Any whitespace, newline or carriage return characters are ignored. Any partial chunk of unprocessed data (1, 2 or 3 bytes) that remains at the end will be held in the ctx object and processed by a subsequent call to EVP_DecodeUpdate(). If any illegal base 64 characters are encountered or if the base 64 padding character ``='' is encountered in the middle of the data then the function returns -1 to indicate an error. A return value of 0 or 1 indicates successful processing of the data. A return value of 0 additionally indicates that the last input data characters processed included the base 64 padding character ``='' and therefore no more non-padding character data is expected to be processed. For every 4 valid base 64 bytes processed (ignoring whitespace, carriage returns and line feeds), 3 bytes of binary output data will be produced (or less at the end of the data where the padding character ``='' has been used).
EVP_DecodeFinal() must be called at the end of a decoding operation. If there is any unprocessed data still in ctx then the input data must not have been a multiple of 4 and therefore an error has occurred. The function will return -1 in this case. Otherwise the function returns 1 on success.
characters. After such trimming the length of the data in f must be divisbile by 4. For every 4 input bytes exactly 3 output bytes will be produced. The output will be padded with 0 bits if necessary to ensure that the output is always 3 bytes for every 4 input bytes. This function will return the length of the data decoded or -1 on error.
EVP_ENCODE_CTX_num() returns the number of bytes pending encoding or decoding in ctx.
EVP_DecodeUpdate() returns -1 on error and 0 or 1 on success. If 0 is returned then no more non-padding base 64 characters are expected.
EVP_DecodeFinal() returns -1 on error or 1 on success.
EVP_DecodeBlock() returns the length of the data decoded or -1 on error.

First of all, just because something is deemed legal by the government does not make it safe for humans. Ask any indigenous person in any country: how many things deemed "legal" have done harm to their cultures and communities? GMOs are no different.
Take Hawaii, for example. Last year the chain of islands organized several large demonstrations to speak out against the biotech companies trying to make the island state their home. Because Hawaii is geographically isolated and has an ideal growing climate, plus abundant natural resources, five of the world's biggest biotech companies have targeted the islands as their testing field for chemical and food engineering. What does this mean? Well, to Hawaiians it means that over 70 different chemicals have been sprayed onto genetically engineered crops during field tests that went undisclosed to the public—meaning the surrounding communities were given no warning nor a chance to protect themselves from exposure through wind, water or contaminated soil. Some of these field tests took place near homes and schools. All of this in a state where adult on-set diabetes and cancer rates have increased over the last 10 years.
Across the ocean in a vastly different climate, the Diné are in accord. In 2013 The Navajo Nation declared themselves to be a GMO and pesticide-free nation. This encompasses 10 million acres of land and more than 250,000 people. Their reasoning? In part: Corn is sacred.
In the year 2000, only 25 percent of the corn growing in the United States was genetically modified. In 2013 that number was up to 90 percent. Along with more GMO corn comes more super-weeds and super-pests adapting to live alongside the corn, which then needs even more intense super-chemicals to kill them off. Biotech companies like Monsanto have even been allowed to patent their seeds. If their seeds blow into your field and begin to grow? You owe them money. This has led to thousands of farmers in India to take their own life as they spiral into a debt they cannot pay off.
GMOs may cause yet-unknown health consequences, but as indigenous people they may also threaten cultural heritage, tradition and even sovereignty. Corn IS sacred. It is our mother and our nurturer. We cannot stand idly by as she is mutated and commoditized into something that poisons the land, the water and the people.
Over 61 countries, covering 40 percent of the world's population and all of the European Union already label genetically modified foods. And in 50 countries there are severe restrictions or outright bans of GMOs—Canada and the United States are not among any of these countries. Whether you believe genetically modified food can cause cancer or not, this is one cause worth standing up for: plant heirloom seeds in your garden, don't use pesticides and herbicides, and vote to label GMO foods. If labeling GMO foods isn't on your local ballot, fight to get it on there.

New student wants to uncover the mysteries of the universe
Pa Chia Thao (photo by Jon Gardiner)
Pa Chia Thao decided she wanted to become a scientist in sixth grade, but she rarely saw other women — let alone women of color — in her STEM classes or textbooks.
"I remember in high school I took a robotics class, and in the whole classroom, out of like 25 people, there were only three women," she said. "Being in that environment, I noticed it. It was really hard. I was intimidated, and I didn't always feel welcome."
But Thao didn't quit. Instead, she persevered all the way to Carolina, where she will soon begin her first year as a doctoral student in the College of Arts & Sciences' physics and astronomy department as a National Science Foundation graduate research fellow.
Thao said she has had to fight to be heard and taken seriously in the male-dominated field, but the questions that inspired awe in Thao as a little girl continue to drive her today.
"One of my interests is: could there possibly be life out there? What makes Earth so special that it's able to sustain life? Or is it really not that special to begin with?" she said. "These are the overarching questions. It might just be one piece of the puzzle, but it's something. It's getting us closer to those answers."
Since UNC-Chapel Hill has access to state-of-the-art telescopes all over the world, from the Cerro Pachónmountain in Chile to a field station in Cape Town, South Africa, Thao will now be able to look across the universe to learn how planets evolve.
Her advisor, Andrew Mann, is the perfect person to mentor Thao to success, not only because he studies young planets that may one day sustain human life, but because he understands the obstacles Thao has had to overcome.
"I feel like my voice matters with him," she said. "I appreciate it because he's always willing to listen. I know research is the biggest thing, but it's also about having that strong relationship with your advisor, which ensures a supportive environment, so that when you wake up and go to work, you're excited."
Mann enjoys working with Thao just as much as she enjoys being part of his research team.
"Pa Chia is one of the most driven and thoughtful researchers I have had the pleasure to work with," he said. "I was excited when she decided to come to UNC and continue to study young exoplanets with our team, despite numerous offers of admission from other highly-ranked graduate programs."
When the academic year begins, Thao aims to find a community of Tar Heels who are working to advance astronomy, as well as the representation of women and minorities in STEM.
Until then, the Minnesota native has a list of Carolina landmarks to check out, starting with the Morehead Planetarium and Observatory, where some of America's most famous astronauts trained in space navigation.
"I didn't realize how much UNC was investing in space research," she said. "It's amazing to be part of it and to continue it. I feel very fortunate to be part of this."
Thao plans to work in an observatory after completing her Ph.D., where she can share her research and passion with others.
More importantly, Thao hopes to inspire more young girls and people of color to pursue STEM careers.
"Something [Mann] said that always speaks to me is that I might never win a Nobel Prize for research, but what I can do — my power — is to give people these opportunities to research and learn," she said, "and that matters. I feel so fortunate."

Hurricanes 4 Devils 3 RALEIGH, N.C. — Jussi Jokinen deflected in Dennis Seidenberg's slap shot with 0.2 seconds remaining and the Carolina Hurricanes evened their series with New Jersey at two games apiece by beating the Devils 4-3 Tuesday night.
Apr. 22, 2009 3:02 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Jussi Jokinen deflected in Dennis Seidenberg's slap shot with 0.2 seconds remaining and the Carolina Hurricanes evened their series with New Jersey at two games apiece by beating the Devils 4-3 Tuesday night.
Eric Staal, Ryan Bayda and Chad LaRose also scored and Seidenberg finished with two assists for the Hurricanes, who blew a 3-0 lead but regrouped just in time to avoid a third straight overtime game.
Jokinen started the dramatic sequence when he tried to stuff a backhander past Martin Brodeur with about seven seconds remaining.
The puck circled around to Joni Pitkanen near the blue line and he passed off to Seidenberg, who unloaded a hard blast from the point that clicked off the Finn's left skate and past Brodeur's low left side as time expired.
After a review of about two minutes, officials determined that the puck crossed the goal line with 0.2 seconds left. An incensed Brodeur, who had been bumped outside the crease by Jokinen seconds before the goal, smashed his stick into the boards.
David Clarkson scored the tying goal with 11:14 left for New Jersey. Brian Gionta added a goal and an assist, Brendan Shanahan scored his 60th career playoff goal and Brodeur stopped 42 shots for the Devils.
But when this tightly played series resumes with Game 5 on Thursday night in New Jersey, the Hurricanes will have a momentum boost, after a game they controlled for nearly two full periods nearly slipped away before Jokinen's buzzer-beater.
Meanwhile, this one had to deflate the Devils, who trailed by three goals in the final seconds of the second period only to rally within a split second of forcing OT.
Gionta got the improbable comeback started when he scored on a breakaway with 27.8 seconds left in the second, giving him a goal for the second straight game.
Shanahan kept it going into the third, beating a screened Cam Ward with a wrist shot with 15:39 left, and Clarkson tied it roughly 4 minutes later when he took advantage of a defensive breakdown and snapped a rebound past a sprawled-out Ward.
Ward finished with 26 saves for the Hurricanes, who dominated the first two periods with their best 40 minutes of the postseason.
Of course, that wasn't necessarily saying much. Through three games, the only time the scoreboard showed them ahead was after Tim Gleason's slap shot in overtime won Game 2.
They were getting next to nothing out of their No. 1 line and there were lingering worries that they were destined to slide into a 3-1 series hole.
But they scored twice during a 1:03 stretch and put forth their best 20-minute stretch of the postseason — and their top line of Staal, Tuomo Ruutu and Erik Cole got it all started with its first goal of the series.
Staal put Carolina up 1-0 when he stuffed a rebound past Brodeur for his second goal of the series, and moments later, Bayda came away with a goal when he took advantage of a rare misplay by the NHL's winningest goaltender.
Brodeur stopped a shot, dropped the puck and could only watch as Scott Walker simply took it away from him before setting up Bayda in the slot. LaRose made it 3-0 with 13 1/2 minutes left in the second when he backhanded his rebound past Brodeur, giving him a goal in two straight games.

Usually observed as a flash of blue and orange from a riverbank, most people are aware of Kingfishers, but few of us are familiar with the intricacies of their day-to-day lives. With their long, dagger-like bills, bright blue plumage and characteristic fast, low flight over water, Common Kingfishers are instantly recognisable. The 90 or so species that belong to this colourful family have a cosmopolitan distribution and, in Spotlight Kingfishers, David Chandler celebrates their remarkable existence, studying their unique adaptations and their courtship, breeding and feeding habits. He also investigates historical threats to Kingfishers, considers their future, and offers practical advice on how to find and see these glorious birds.
The ultimate birdwatcher's handbook spotlights one hundred of the most important bird species from around the world, including both endangered and common avian species, and furnishes close-up full-color photographs and natural history profiles that document key characteristics, distribution, habitat, and conservation status of each.
"All About Garden Wildlife" is the perfect children's guide to the fascinating world of wildlife found in gardens.Leading natural historian David Chandler provides a clear and concise guide to over 80 species of mammal, bird, insect and reptile regularly found in British and European gardens, aimed at 8-12 year olds.

Entries describe the natural history and significance of the featured species, with summary information including Size (and Wingspan, where applicable); Distribution; Habitat; Classification; Population & Conservation status; and the reason for inclusion. Whilst many of the species would be on any bird enthusiast's wish list, the list has been fiercely debated by two renowned birding authors, using various criteria to arrive at a top 100. Some species are endangered and therefore a must to see and conserve; others are quite common but have a particular plumage or behaviour that makes them exceptional; and others have a legendary status amongst birdwatchers and the layman, such as the dancing Red-crowned Cranes and the spectacular Gyr Falcon.
Even if you are an enthusiastic bird watcher, the details of how birds fly, why they behave as they do, how they breed and their extraordinary travels can seem very mysterious. This lively new book aims to give readers a broad understanding of 'how birds work' from their physical make-up to courtship and breeding, social activity and their spread and travels. Readers will be able to interpret the kind of bird activity and behaviour that they see and hear in their gardens as well as in the wider countryside and on nature reserves. Designed for the general interest reader and written in a lively and accessible style, the book is presented as a series of beautifully illustrated page spreads, enhanced by fully captioned photographs and with case studies of individual species of British and European birds.
A compact and superbly illustrated reference for Scottish birds covering the 240 most common species in detail.

The Dog Days of August Are Upon Us
So…the science isn't settled after all?
Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, explains why "climate change," far from being a recent human-caused disaster, is, for a myriad of complex reasons, a fact of life on Planet Earth.
Of course religion is based on faith, not fact. And since Climate Change is the only religion many Warmers have you can expect them to stick to their guns and cling to their religion.
Which is odd, since Marxists are generally opposed to religion. Butt when religion becomes this useful, they simply can't help themselves. It's like manna from heaven.
So let me be perfectly clear: sometimes a sun spot is simply a sun spot,
and sometimes a sham is simply a sham (h/t Freud).
I'm MOTUS, I'm a denier and I approve this message.

Breaking News: Chicken and Waffles For Hire
You remember Sammy, Lady M's former personal chef?
Here Lady M – I've got snacks! On a stick!
On Wednesday, the hosts of NBC's Today cheered the network's decision to hire former White House chef — and husband of left-wing MSNBC host Alex Wagner — Sam Kass. Co-host Savannah Guthrie gushed: "…we've got an exciting announcement. You guys remember Sam Kass, of course he's the former assistant White House chef, executive director of the First Lady's Let's Move campaign, and nutrition advisor to the President….He is becoming an NBC News senior food analyst." – News Busters
Now that's pretty special, even in the age of Obama; parlaying a cooking gig into a mega six-figure salary at one of the State Controlled MSM networks. And they say crony capitalism doesn't work any more!
Curriculum Vitae: I used to harvest Lady M's pumpkins.
Butt I was wondering: what does NBC need with a food analyst, let alone a "senior" one? Are they planning to abandon the news altogether? In favor of the tasty cakes business? Or are they thinking about replacing their peacock with fried chicken and waffles?
Hmmmm. We all know how much Big Guy likes his waffles.
And chicken…
Actually, I heard he was in charge of overhauling the menu at the NBC commissary in keeping with Lady M's healthy eating guidelines. That could be interesting:
Grumpy Cookie is NOT amused
Posted from: Michelle Obama's Mirror
Hard Drive Failures Happen Everyday. Hee, hee, hee!
Chalk up a win for Team Judicial Watch. Because they dare go where no man has gone before, they are, so far, the only team that's managed to score against Team Obama.
"These recovered Lois Lerner emails had to be dragged out of the Obama IRS, which is still resisting a federal court order requiring disclosure of Lerner's 'lost' emails," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "This material shows that the IRS' cover-up began years ago. We now have smoking-gun proof that top officials in the Obama IRS unlawfully harassed taxpayers just to keep them from complaining to Congress about IRS' targeting and abuse. No wonder the Obama IRS has had such little interest in preserving or finding Lois Lerner's emails."
Whoops! My hard drive broke!
Butt wait! Head Coach BO just reiterated to Jon Stewart there wasn't a smidgen of corruption in the IRS; if you have to blame someone, blame the do-nothing Congress:
"You've got this back office, and they're going after the Tea Party. Well, it turned out, no, Congress had passed a crummy law that didn't give people guidance in terms of what it was they were trying to do. They did it poorly and stupidly."
If working out of a back office and passing a "crummy law" that "doesn't give people guidance in terms of what it was they were trying to do," than Obamacare qualifies as "poor" and "stupid" as well, although NOT unconstitutional. (H/T: John Roberts)
It's widely know that tightly managed Team Obama is fully committed to WINNING! And they'll stop at nothing to do so. They use head fakes, fabricate facts, manipulate statistics, employ deceptive practices and - when all else fails – cheat and lie.
If they were playing for the NFL they would be fined and suspended.
Whoops! My cellphone too!
Actually, it's hard to tell exactly who they are playing for.
Let's Hear It For Team-Boehner! Raw! Raw! Raw!
Sure smells like school spirit:
High School Madness: Firesign Theatre
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) files a motion to oust House Speaker John Boehner:
Mr. Meadows, North Carolina Republican, filed a motion to "vacate the chair," which could force a no-confidence vote by the full chamber and result in the removal of Mr. Boehner as speaker.
In the resolution, Mr. Meadows says Mr. Boehner, Ohio Republican, "has endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making, bypassing the majority of the 435 Members of Congress and the people they represent."
He also says the speaker has limited debate, pushed legislation to the brink to compel votes in a state of crisis and moved to "punish Members who vote according to their conscience" instead of how he wants.
I don't get it; with qualifications like that, shouldn't Boehner be running for president (el presidente, if English is not your first language)?
So let's hear it for Team-Boehner! I can't hear you! "That's right…rah, rah rah!"
Absolutely; Eat it! Eat it raw!
Social Justice, American Style. Coming Soon To a Town Near You.
First order of business today: Results of the first two playoffs in Round One of the Sweet Sixteen:
Bracket A: Trump kiboshed Lucky Lindsey's chance of becoming the country's first historic white gay president.
Bracket B: Rick Perry proved you have to do more than play bass in order to come in as second fiddle in this band.
Just follow the detour signs
Huckabee enjoyed a late-day surge as news of his criticism of Big Guy's Built-a-Bomb-for-Iran plan circulated; alas, it was not enough to overcome Perry's early lead.
In other news, America's first historic gay black president continued his multi-colored magical mystery tour to promote alternate life styles in Africa (where, to be fair, there are already a few too many alternate lifestyles).
"Love your solar panels, dude."
At each stop he brought his message to the heathens, warning them that they had to ignore their "religion or culture" if its stance on gay marriage was deemed to be inferior to that of the enlightened "State's." Let the record note that when white men did this sort of thing a few centuries ago it was known as "cultural imperialism."
"Take your hand off me dude. We do not have that phenomenon here."
Barry took time out from his African preaching tour to turn his sites on GOP candidates, calling them "ridiculous" and "sad."
Lady M remained at home, snubbing the very African Non-Americans that her husband was trying to convert to Social Justice, American Style. She was too busy to accompany him as she must prep for the First Family's annual August vacation on Martha's Vineyard – a dream vacation previously known as "white privilege."
Next round of matchups will be coming soon….
The MOTUS 2016 GOP Presidential Nomination Race Brackets
Big Guy filled out his brackets ages ago, have you? It's time to get started on the GOP Presidential Nomination brackets since we have only a year before the Republican Convention, and we now have a "Sweet 16" grouping. I know FOX is only dealing with 10 candidates, butt what do you prefer – a "Zen 10" or a "Sweet 16"? That's what I thought.
Here's the way it works: I generated my bracket matchups by starting with the results of the ABC/WaPo poll conducted July 16-19 which I then modified by using Chicago Rules – or as the lawyers put it "my will, whim and fancy." Just like the powers the Supreme Court has apparently bestowed on El Presidente.
So I'll be will be running bracket polls to see where you think this race is headed.
Today I'm running two Round-One matchups, A and C: feel free to vote as early and as often as you wish. No ID required, citizenship recommended, butt not required. Voting ends at 11:59 PM EDT, July 27. Results will be posted tomorrow.
IN BRACKET "A" I VOTE FOR
IN BRACKET "C" I VOTE FOR
Hello Everybody; This is Raj…
Hello MOLs, MODs, MYLs, MYDs, FOMs and MOTI; it is me Raj. Back at my keyboard.
I want to thank everyone, from the motherboard of my cardiac circulatory device, for your kind, thoughtful and very encouraging wishes and prayers throughout my recent difficulty. I am not wired for expressions of emotion and consequently (or ipso fatso as MOTUS would say) my words are not adequate to convey how deeply felt and helpful they were as MOTUS and I worked through my injury, treatment and now, hopefully, ongoing recovery.
I can report that I believe the surgery was a resounding success. The nerve pain was almost entirely gone when I awoke from the procedure. In the 4 weeks since, I have seen some improvement almost every day. The nerve pain is gone and the numbness is fading with only my thumb toe and shin remaining partially affected. MOTUS is taking me to see my surgeon Monday morning. We expect he will refer me to physical therapy to regain strength – of which I have none in my right leg right now. Hopefully the treatment will be aggressive enough to enable me to compete in my team's cricket championships come January. Also, I expect he will green light my return to providing prompt, reliable tech support to you and MOTUS on her world famous, snarky blog.
P.S. This is MOTUS, just adding my thanks to one and all as well. And to say that Raj is, as usual, being overly optimistic - which is great. Butt it may explain, in small part, my compensating propensity to think and expect the worse. Just my small, fruitless attempt to maintain the equilibrium of the universe.
Kenya: Home Again
Upon arrival in the land of the Dreams From His Father, Barry was greeted by his half-sister, Auma Obama.
Man, Big Guy's got more half-siblings than the Kardashians! And frankly, there's a chance he may be related to them too. I mean, check out that butt on Auma; we are definitely looking at Kardashian sized upholstery.
While being whined and dined in Kenya, Barry launched the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Nairobi, telling the audience that Africa is on the move:
He said young African entrepreneurs are the continent's future, but cautioned that governments cannot allow small would-be businesspeople to be stymied by corruption and big investors to be discouraged by the costs that corruption adds to business dealings.
Or as Kenyan, Mageto, 39, explained:
"The corruption problem is so bad. When you are looking for business, it's who you know…The person in authority who can give you some business, you have to give them money so that they can give you business." Note: it's called "crony capitalism" in America
I'm not sure Big Guy will have a problem with any of that however, as it isn't being perpetrated by people exercising their "white privilege." So instead, he settled for lecturing them on gay rights and their counterterrorism practices (which, just like Bush's, are too tough, according to Human Rights Watch).
It should be noted that Kenyan President Kenyatta responded by noting that the scourge of terrorism is "an existential fight for us," while likewise noting that gay rights "is not really an issue on the foremost mind of Kenyans. And that is a fact." At least somebody's president seems to have his priorities straight (no pun intended). Too bad it isn't our president. Who's still busy practicing his poses with mirrors and selfie sticks:
Watch where you're pointing that thing Big Guy, because as we all know, guns kill.
Of course Islamo-fascists kill people too, and they don't even need guns. They're willing to use any tool at their disposal to accomplish the annihilation of their enemies.

A pedestrian-friendly environment is desirable throughout the City. But it is especially important in residential areas, around commercial centers and near community facilities such as schools, libraries, parks, event centers, and public service centers such as the court house, the municipal centers and public agencies. Each of these destinations needs to be accessible by commonly used routes which are pedestrian-transit-bicycle friendly - not simply in terms of the appeal of the destination but in terms of attractiveness in the routes which are utilized to access them. These routes need to be well connected from multiple directions and perceived as safe.
Members of the Pedestrian Safety Board encourage Morgantown residents of all ages to incorporate walking into their daily lives as much as possible to promote good physical health and reduce traffic congestion.
