2017: new year, new life, new challenges, new destinations. I certainly started 2017 with a great trip to Asia and with a new job, so when I had to choose the destination for my next trip I thought why not new continent as well? I had been travelling throughout Asia in the last couple of years, now it is time to start exploring a continent that is completely new to me…and who knows me well knows that if I say it I do it.
In the past, for a reason or another, I have always avoided the African continent, but now it was time to start the exploration of this beautiful and mysterious continent, with its uncontaminated nature and its generous people.
As my first trip to Africa I decided to avoid the cultural shock by choosing some countries that are famous for having developed infrastructure, easy to reach and to get around, with a stable and safe situation. After having checked out several travel websites, I finally opted for South Africa and Namibia. I spent 2 great weeks over there, and I must say it has been one of the best experiences ever!
For European citizens, there is no visa needed for SA and Namibia. In SA there will be a visa on arrival, whereas for Namibia your passport is enough.
As you know, those countries have difference currencies (ZAR and NAD), although in Namibia payments can be done with the ZAR as well. ATMs are available everywhere, therefore there is no need to bring a lot of cash with you.
Hygienic conditions are pretty good. Common places are very clean (in the camping sites as well), water is drinkable, and there is no big danger of big disease. If you stay in the cities, there is no problem at all, whereas in Kruger and in North Namibia you might need to take anti-malaria pills (honestly I took them but in May the malaria mosquitoes and the mosquitoes in general were all gone).
Watch out the temperatures before traveling, especially from May to October. Although at noon it can be very hot (25-30 degrees), in the night the temperatures drop down very fast to 5 degrees. Make sure you have the right clothes for all temperatures.
Except for Johannesburg, I found the other places very safe. In the parks or in Windhoek, you can easily walk during the day without threat. I think the recommendation is the same for everywhere: do not wear anything "sparkling"! If you don't show very precious belongings, then you are fine. During the night, the situation might be different. In general nothing happens, but everybody suggests tourists to be back to the hotel before the sunset, and to take taxis to go out during the night. I honestly do not know if this is required just for precautions or because it is really dangerous.
Never take taxis in the street, most of the times they are scams or they will rob you. Whenever you need a taxi, ask your hotel to book one for you (also at your arrival at the airport), they have agreement with taxi companies who can give you a reasonable price.
Don't be afraid to talk to locals, leave your shyness home and approach them, they are all very kind and English is the main language, so very easy to create the connection!
The most connected city in South Africa is Johannesburg. In order to access the country, you may probably land there, so perhaps you could use your available day to visit the town. I think my "perhaps" says enough of what I think of the city. Coming from European cities, with its centres full of history, art, and people enjoying coffees outside, African cities I must say are not the best. Johannesburg is an example, with its big buildings, big roads, but with nothing special to visit, no people in the street, just a lot of cars, shopping malls, and luxurious villas next to big favelas. On top of that, safety might be a concern there, that is why it is recommended to go back to the hotel before sunset. I honestly didn't like the social gaps, the lack of art, the coldness of the city. That being said, everybody is entitled of his own opinion and you might find something special in Johannesburg.
For me, Johannesburg was simply the arrival place in South Africa, and the starting point for my trip to Kruger National Park. This unique park is located at around 4 hours driving from Johannesburg, and its visit can take average 3 days, therefore I would suggest to book an accommodation inside the park. You will find plenty of camping sites, where you can set up your tent or rent a bungalow. They are all very well equipped, with restaurants, shops, clean bathroom facilities. You can get to Kruger by renting a car and doing a drive-in safari (consider that roads in South Africa are in great conditions, so driving is not an hassle at all), or by joining one of the several safaris. Since I was travelling alone and I didn't want to drive by myself, I have joined a safari group, which happened to be the best option! The service is great, they pick you up from your hotel, and drive you to the park with a guide taking you everywhere and explaining you everything. They take care of your accommodation and your food, and you have no extra surprise. For the accommodation I opted for the camping option 3 days, and it was largely enough. First of all, the tents were great, with beds, linen, heating, and electricity. Secondly, the company was great, it is a good opportunity to meet other people who are travelling as you and exchange good tips with them. Finally, since you cannot get off the jeep during the safari, I would not suggest to do more than 3 days safari, since you will spend all day inside a car travelling in the same areas, looking for animals. With the 3 days option, you leave Johannesburg in the morning and arrive late afternoon, just in time for a sunset safari. This gives you the first glimpse of the beauty of this huge park, with its enormous variety of trees, flowers, and wild animals. Everybody is there: elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, monkeys, zebras, antelopes, buffaloes, rhinos, hippos, etc etc.. It is impossible to see all of them in one time, that is why with the 3 days safari options you have 3 possible rounds: sunset safari, sunrise safari, and again sunset safari. Don't waste any of them, it will be a unique experience.
After having come back from Kruger National Park, I got a long sleeping night in Johannesburg and took a morning flight to Windhoek.
Windhoek is absolutely different from the big Johannesburg. The big buildings here disappear and are replaced by nice 1-floor houses with beautiful gardens, the big roads are replaced by small streets (pedestrian in the center), and the anonymous city center is replaced by a tiny colonial-style city center, with German and Dutch influences, with people enjoying a nice walk. The big fast food chains are replaced by small bakeries and restaurants. Windhoek city center is nice to walk and not so huge. You can start your tour from the Parliament House, which hosts the museum of the independence. From there you can walk in the several streets forming the city center and enjoy some food.
In the night you can ask for a taxi driver and go to one of the several pubs in town where you can enjoy a tasty Namibian beer while eating some local animals.
On the 6th day you can start one of the several safaris Namibia can offer. As in South Africa, also in Namibia you can opt for self-drive or group safaris, except that this time the self-driving will require an average time of 6hrs per day. Also this time I went with an amazing group for a camping safari. According to the time you have, you have several options. Since I had short time and I wanted to explore several parts of the country, I decided to take the 6 days safari, covering 3 days of Etosha National Park and 3 days of Namib desert.
The tour operator picks you up at around 8am from your accommodation in Windhoek, and from there you should expect around 6h driving to get to Etosha. Although the journey is long, the trip to Etosha is definitely worth. Apart for the beautiful landscapes, but surely for the unique destination. Etosha National Park is surely one of the most beautiful national parks in Africa, due to its huge diversity of flora and fauna. While Kruger is a park with a "forest style" (with high trees and green vegetation), Etosha is more "savanna" style, with yellow grass, and small and dry trees which give a special charm to the place. Furthermore the absence of high vegetation facilitates the view of wild animals. In Kruger sometimes we had to struggle to spot a single animal, whereas in Etosha huge groups of all animals appear in front of you. You can admire all of them in a very easy way. Of course you cannot get off the jeep, but there is so much to see that you don't even realize that you have been in a vehicle for longtime.
From a planning perspective, there is a first safari on day 1 at the sunset, and 2 others the day after at sunrise and sunset. You will never get bored of it! Plus, the camp sites in Namibia are very well furnished but in a simpler way than South Africa, and the fact that they are smaller and cozier facilitates the networking with the other travelers. I loved for instance having dinner outside, next to a fire, while talking to the others and admiring the starts in the sky. I think one of the most beautiful things in Namibia is certainly the sky, from day to night it changes continuously of colors and sometimes you have the impression it is a real painting.
After wonderful nights and days in Etosha, day 8 is dedicated to the return trip to Windhoek, other 6 hours driving with some stops on the way.
On my last days in Namibia I absolutely wanted to experience the famous Namib desert. So I joined another group, and, after a long 6hrs drive, I reached the central-southern area of the country, Sossusvlei. The first day is basically dedicated to the journey and some stops on the way to admire the beautiful landscapes.
The busiest and best day is certainly day 2, when, after an early wake up, we climbed one of the dunes to admire the sunrise. I don't know if you have any experience in climbing dunes, if not get ready to a tough sport, in which your legs will hurt a lot at the end, and your shoes and your body will be full of sand. However it is worth the pain, the experience is fantastic! Seeing hundreds and hundreds of soft dunes with different colors and heights, in an infinite landscape, with a stunning view. Most of the day will be spent climbing dunes and walking in the desert, until arriving to the popular death valley (deadvlei). This valley was formed after a river flood, which created temporary shallow pools where the abundance of water allowed camel thorn trees to grow. When the climate changed, drought hit the area, and sand dunes encroached on the pan, which blocked the river from the area. The trees died, as there no longer was enough water to survive. There are some species of plants remaining, otherwise there are black skeletons of the trees. The name of this area is not accidental indeed, being in that place gives you a sense of silence and death, almost scary I would say.
After a tour in the deadvlei, you can visit the Sesriem Canyon, a 1km natural gorge, and end up your day by hiking a last dune to admire the sunset. The sunset in the desert is probably one of the most beautiful activities to do, since you can see the color of sand changing very quickly according to the sun position.
The last day will be also dedicated to the trip back to Windhoek.
Namibia is certainly a wonderful country to explore, so different from north to south. If you have more time, I would suggest to go completely south and travel through the coast, in order to enjoy the beautiful seaside scenario, and several historical colonial cities.

Fake News, Escalation, and Polarization: Pakistan's Disinformation Vulnerabilities
Written by Salma Shaheen
As Russia launched its attack on Ukraine, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin justified the invasion using the baseless claim of undertaking a "denazification" campaign. In the months since, the war has brought a renewed focus to the role of disinformation in times of crisis and in building narratives to sustain momentum or as a raison d'etre. While disinformation is not a novel concept—it has long been a tactic for political and social influence as part of propaganda—the digital revolution and a growing population of internet users has made publics increasingly vulnerable to "manipulation by information."
In Pakistan, deepening domestic polarization and a history of mistrust of its neighboring adversary each provide ample space for manipulating information, which may worsen Pakistan's internal and external vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, laws enacted to supposedly counter disinformation and "fake news" have ultimately stifled freedom of expression and paradoxically may lead Pakistan to being more vulnerable by limiting the space for debate and increasing polarization domestically. The need of the hour is to seek and maintain a balance between counter-disinformation laws and the basic human rights of freedom of expression. In the absence of a balanced approach, disinformation is likely to continue to rise and may be counter-productive for burgeoning reconciliation efforts at the domestic level or improving relations with India.
The Rise of Disinformation
According to the United Nations disinformation involves "false information that is created and spread, deliberately or otherwise, to harm people, institutions and interests." While disinformation overlaps misinformation—which covers unintentional errors—disinformation is notably meant to "intentionally deceive." Disinformation could incite violence, escalate interstate crises, distort and manipulate electoral processes, or encourage conspiracy theories.
In Pakistan, deepening domestic polarization and a history of mistrust of its neighboring adversary each provide ample space for manipulating information, which may worsen Pakistan's internal and external vulnerabilities.
Disinformation and the use of social media can also support the rhethorical tools of the modern populist—including emotional appeals and fake news. Populist leaders from around the world such as Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Narendra Modi, and Donald Trump have garnered large followings on social media. In Pakistan, Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party has and is still extensively using social media to achieve its desired political objectives. The current exercise of narrative building on social media and political rallies/jalsas around U.S. interference and conspiracy against Khan's government to mask his government's performance over the past three-and-a-half years is a striking example of a populist leader using all three communication techniques to mobilize mass support in his favor.
Digital media and disinformation has also been used as an "incisive instrument of state policy." The Kremlin, for example, has strategically used disinformation to target Russian society to mobilize mass support and to create confusion in societies abroad during 2014 Crimean annexation. Likewise, China, Iran and Venezuela have also used different disinformation strategies and tactics to promote authoritarian interests globally.
Pakistan's Internal and External Vulnerabilities
Disinformation poses a vulnerability for Pakistan in both internal and external crises. The state's role in disinformation or misinformation is not a new phenomenon in Pakistan. On December 16, 1971, Radio Pakistan broadcasted that: "after an agreement between local commanders, ceasefire was declared in East Pakistan." Meanwhile, the BBC was simultaneously reporting that the Pakistan Army had surrendered to Indian troops. Neither is Pakistan's vulnerability to foreign disinformation efforts new. During the Afghan war of the 1980s, the former Soviet Union took several measures amounting to disinformation designed to the disturb the Pakistan-US alliance—challenging the credibility of Pakistan in the region and aiming to incite domestic unrest within country. This included, for example, distributing leaflets denouncing Pakistani government policies allegedly written by a rogue group within the Pakistan army, and planting stories in the local press stating that Pakistan army was using the conflict to build more influence in Afghanistan's politics.
In the age of social media, Pakistan experienced episodes of state-initiated disinformation campaigns at the domestic level. In 2018, then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was criticized and discredited for his stance on "keeping your house in order" and calling for measures that Pakistan eventually had to take under the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. This disinformation exercise against Sharif backfired and was part of what led to Pakistan being placed on the FATF grey list. In 2019, Twitter and Facebook shut down thousands of accounts claimed to be run by Pakistan military's PR wing including handles meant to target adversaries across the border and others maliciously campaigning against political opposition and dissenting citizens.
Beyond the domestic vulnerability to state-generated disinformation, Pakistan has also been the target of disinformation campaigns. A notable example was the disclosure of DisInfo Lab's report that unveiled a 15-year disinformation network by India designed to lobby around international and civil society against Pakistan. In another instance, an analysis of Twitter trends during Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan's protest in April 2021 revealed that approximately 61 percent of the total hashtags "#CivilWarinPak" and the like originated from India with several Indian-based Twitter fake accounts producing a total of 84,000 tweets, retweets and replies using the hashtag. Seven of the top ten cities where the hashtag was trending were in India. Beyond public perceptions this also has implications for state crisis behavior, in the 2019 Pulwama-Balakot crisis several "doctored and mislabeled" pictures and videos went viral that "fueled calls for military retaliation" against Pakistan. The extensive following and use of social media by modern populist leaders compounds the risk of using social networks to build nationalist support and shape public calls for escalation. Notwithstanding intrinsic link between populism and social media, the role of disinformation during India-Pakistan crisis is of vital importance as the charged nature of the relationship makes it highly susceptible to manipulated information.
The vulnerability of the Pakistani people to state- and foreign-induced disinformation is deepening with the exponential increase of Internet and social media usage in Pakistan—and more broadly across South Asia. According to one estimate, internet penetration reached 49.8 percent in Pakistan and 53.9 percent in India (as of January 2022 in Pakistan and December 2021 in India). As of January 2022, Facebook penetration reached is 23.9 percent in Pakistan and 34.9 percent in India. Among social media, the percentage usage of Facebook is highest (65.85 percent), according to March 2022 data, followed by Twitter (20.56 percent) and YouTube (9.71 percent). The increased use of social media in Pakistan accompanied with low level of media literacy and dearth of fact-checking training and practice to counter disinformation is a high risk in itself.
Countering Disinformation and Threats to Freedom of Expression
To address threats and insecurities emanating from manipulation of information, it is the states' responsibility to secure freedom of speech while countering disinformation. It is this area of responsibility where Pakistan has struggled. To effectively fulfill this responsibility, the European Convention on Human Rights ensued three central conditions for countering disinformation measures: 1) the restrictions on speech should be clearly and specifically prescribed in the law, 2) those measures should aim at protection of fundamental values, and 3) those measures should be "necessary in a democratic society" and proportional to the threat posed by disinformation at a specific time and context. Notwithstanding some promises to address the flaws in current legislation related to press freedom and information, measures from previous governments in Pakistan have failed to meet these criteria.
The legislative measures in Pakistan have fallen short both in ensuring freedom of expression and in countering disinformation. Article 19 of Pakistan's Constitution guarantees every citizen's "right to freedom of speech and expression" along with freedom of press. However, these guarantees are "subject to any reasonable restrictions" that do not meet the criteria of permissible limitations on the right to freedom of expression set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to which Pakistan is a party. The 2010 addition of amendment 19A on the right to information has not been fully implemented across the country.
In context of online freedom of expression, the Pakistan Telecommunications Act (1996) has been instrumental in censoring and blocking information in line with national security concerns. For example, in its submission to the Supreme Court of 2016, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) admitted blocking of thousands of websites carrying salacious content and being involved in abuse of social media. Moreover, suspension of internet and mobile services during political unrest and religious commemorations is a common practice due to security concerns. In 2016, the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) expanded the PTA's powers to block access to information, and the act has been criticized as an attack on political opposition and an attempt to restrict debate on issues of public interest including national security. The government launched a media campaign in 2017 to apprise public to exercise self-restraint while using internet and social media and caution them of the penalties under law. Notably, a number of journalists and dissenting voices had been targeted under PECA.
Furthering constraining freedom of expression in the name of countering disinformation and fake news, Imran Khan's government amended PECA and declared acts of spreading fake news or defaming an individual or state institution online a non-bailable offense—increasing imprisonment up to five years for those found guilty. In February 2022, a presidential ordinance allowed anyone to file a complaint against so-called fake news posted on Twitter and Facebook. Political opponents and civil society alike have criticized PECA as an attempt to stifle freedom of speech. Additionally, the secret initiative of Khan's government to institute a Pakistan Media Development Authority (PMDA) aimed to bring television, film, radio, and digital media under one regulator and the provide unchecked powers to the government-controlled Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA). Considered by many to be draconian measures, PECA and the PMDA have been choking any effort to create a balance between curbing disinformation and promoting freedom of expression.
In 2018, PERMA issued notices to seventeen TV channels for airing fake news. Recently, one of the biggest news channels, Ary News, received a show-cause notice from PEMRA for airing "fake/unverified news" about the Imran Khan's claims of a cable showing a conspiracy to overthrow his government. The previous PTI government also launched an official Twitter account (@FakeNews_Buster) to target fake news and misinformation, however, it was criticized by media practitioners for its potential misuse against political opponents and dissidents. While Pakistan has indicated efforts to curb disinformation and fake news, the centralized control of PEMRA over all media platforms and distrust about government's counter-disinformation measures negate many of these efforts. As a result of these measures, Pakistan's ranking in Press Freedom Index 2022 dropped to 157 from 145 in 2021 and scored 25 (not free) on Freedom on the Net Index 2021.
While Pakistan has indicated efforts to curb disinformation and fake news, the centralized control of PEMRA over all media platforms and distrust about government's counter-disinformation measures negate many of these efforts.
One of the key objectives behind new government's review of existing laws is to control the adverse impact of fake news on national cohesion unity—one of the pillars of Pakistan's National Security Policy 2022-26. As some scholars have noted however, "national cohesion" or "national unity" involves building state nationalism, which can be detrimental to human rights including freedom of speech. Efforts to strengthen state security often collide with other human rights protections.
Pathways for Countering Disinformation
States and organizations, especially the European Union, have implemented legislative measures to counter information-related content intended to cause harm. Besides legislation, several practical responses and techniques are available to reduce the effect of disinformation through fact-checking and robust and media literacy programs. These techniques will help increasing societal resilience that can identify and address disinformation problems without infringing fundamental human rights as well as freedom of speech.
Given the increasing social media penetration rate in Pakistan—which widens the scope for misinformation and disinformation—the priority is to bring legislative reforms along with implementing practical techniques. For instance, there is an urgent need to implement the amended Article 19 of Pakistan's constitution uniformly across the country so it is in line with Article 19 of the ICCPR and clearly defines the scope of "reasonable restrictions." Any restrictions under PECA should also be evaluated according to the principles of proportionality and necessity. This will bring counter-disinformation measures in line with the three conditions of European Convention on Human Rights. The key here is to establish a balance between freedom of speech/access to information and counter-disinformation.
Among practical measures, it is important to generate extensive provision of media literacy including fact-checking and identification of fake news. This can be done at two levels: one, games can be developed to be included into computer science curriculum in educational institutions to support media literacy among young students, and two, journalists must be provided fact-checking training either directly by state or their employers. Roughly 35 percent of Pakistan's population is under 15 and 64 percent under 30—meaning that efforts to support media literacy has vast potential to make a difference in the long-term.

Q: Trying to combine 2 FFmpeg commands I have 2 FFmpeg commands which I need t combine, for the sake of speed.
This one builds a simple slideshow using a list of images located on my remote server.
ffmpeg -y -f concat -safe 0 -protocol_whitelist "file,http,https,tcp,tls" -i "Temp/images.txt" -filter_complex "[0]scale=7680x4320,zoompan=z='if(lte(zoom,1.0),1.2,max(1.001,zoom-0.0006))':x='iw/2-(iw/zoom/2)':y='ih/2-(ih/zoom/2)':fps=30:d=300" -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -shortest "Temp/video.mp4"

This one overlays the video we just created aswel as another video (marquee.mp4) and a showwaves effect ontop of a background image, then adds audio. (showwaves effect is tied to said audio)
ffmpeg -y -framerate 30 -i "Assets/Screens/background.png" -i "Temp/audio.mp3" -filter_complex "movie=Temp/video.mp4[a];movie=Temp/marquee.mp4:loop=0,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[b];[0][a]overlay=570:70[c];[c][b]overlay=570:880[d];[1:a]showwaves=mode=cline:s=254x81:scale=sqrt:colors=0x222222,colorkey=0x000000:0.01:0.1,format=yuva420p[w];[d][w]overlay=148:375,scale=1920:1080[outv]" -map "[outv]" -map 1:a -movflags +faststart -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -preset veryfast -shortest done.mp4

Would it be possible to combine all of this into one command? So that rather than taking the created slideshow video and overlaying, it just generates the slideshow in-place.
Thank you for your time.

A: Use
ffmpeg -y -framerate 30 -i "Assets/Screens/background.png" -i "Temp/audio.mp3" -f concat -safe 0 -protocol_whitelist "file,http,https,tcp,tls" -i "Temp/images.txt" -stream_loop -1 -i Temp/marquee.mp4 -filter_complex "[2]scale=7680x4320,zoompan=z='if(lte(zoom,1.0),1.2,max(1.001,zoom-0.0006))':x='iw/2-(iw/zoom/2)':y='ih/2-(ih/zoom/2)':fps=30:d=300[a];[0][a]overlay=570:70[b];[b][3]overlay=570:880[c];[1:a]showwaves=mode=cline:s=254x81:scale=sqrt:colors=0x222222,colorkey=0x000000:0.01:0.1,format=yuva420p[w];[c][w]overlay=148:375,scale=1920:1080[outv]" -map "[outv]" -map 1:a -movflags +faststart -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -preset veryfast -shortest done.mp4

Q: Can't get css file in node I just started learning Node.js and I have a small problem with getting data from css file. When I add data to the index file code it works.
Here are my codes:
app.js
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

//404 response

function send404response(response) {
  response.writeHead(404, {
    "Context-Type": "text/plain"
  });
  response.write("Error 404: Page not found!");
  response.end();
}

function onRequest(request, response) {
  if (request.method == 'GET' && request.url == '/') {
    response.writeHead(200, {
      "Context-Type": "text/html"
    });
    fs.createReadStream("./index.html").pipe(response);
  } else {
    send404response(response);
  }
}

http.createServer(onRequest).listen(8888);
console

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" >
    <title>First node app</title>

Welcome to my first website!
 This website is  created in NodeJs!

main.css
* {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
}

body {
  background: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/1voHP.png') repeat;
  font-size: 100%;
}

.header {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .9);
}

.container {
  font-size: 1em;
  margin: 0 auto;

  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 70%;
  height: 90%;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .3);
  padding: 5%;
}

They are all in same folder.

A:
if( request.method == 'GET' && request.url == '/' ){
    response.writeHead(200, {"Context-Type": "text/html"});
    fs.createReadStream("./index.html").pipe(response);

So if the browser asks for / then you'll send them the homepage…

}else{
    send404response(response);

… and if the browser asks for anything else you'll send a 404 error.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" >

So when the browser asks for /main.css … you'll send a 404 error.
You need to write some code to actually handle the case of the browser asking for /main.css.


This is the story of a man in his early 30's, Sumit Saxena. He is working in his dream job, earning a good pay package and is among one of the best performers at his job! Sumit is married and very soon going to be a father as well.
Sounds like a perfect story, right?
Here's the catch: Sumit might be earning well or having his dream job and a good family, but in reality his health is deteriorating on a daily basis! You know the sad part of the situation? He isn't even aware of it! To give you a better perspective, let's share with you an average day in Sumit's life.
He commutes to his job in his car and spends almost 1.5hours while going and another 1.5hours while coming back from work. His average working hours per day in a 5day week are 11-12hrs. Besides this, he sometimes works on weekends as well from home on his laptop. During a working day, his job involves sitting for long hours staring at a brightly lit desktop screen, running against the deadlines, trying to play political games to survive in his office and has to do all this while gorging on delicious but junk food at irregular hours. This is his life at work. However, he is amongst those workaholics who carry work back home too and spend time sending mails and checking messages even when he has retired to bed.
All this sounds very similar to your life? Or someone you know lives an exact life like this? Yes, this is how the life has become for most professionals these days who are trying really hard to ride up the ladder of success and achieve their dreams of living a luxurious life. But there is a cost for everything and sadly, most of us are paying this cost with our health! We all think we are young and our bodies can really endure any and every kind of hardship, which is not true. The reality is that all those small things we ignore on a day to day basis pile up to suddenly one day come and stand in front of us as a health disaster and by the time we realize it, it's too late!
Not trying to put you into a depression (that's what your JOB's doing actually right now!!), but want to share how your dream job is slowly pushing you towards a point of no return!
Long commute to and from work is slowly becoming one of the major reasons for neck and back problems, along with high blood pressure, heart attacks and according to a new research in Sweden, it is even affecting your relationship! If you walk to work it is still better, but travelling by car, train or buses is affecting your health in a host of negative ways.
It is nice to slide into your comfy chair once at work and devote all your energy in earning money without caring whether you are sitting or slouching and for how long. It will simply damage your back and lead to obesity, spinal cord problems, and muscular skeletal problems and in some cases, even cancer!
Life nowadays is lived in a virtual world, either on laptops/desktops or on your smart phones while working. Looking at these addictive devices will harm your vision, cause frequent migraines and headaches. Not only that, over-illumination around us makes our body consider it as total darkness and that plays havoc with our internal body clock! Result: fatigue, grogginess, high level of stress and blood pressure.
Increasing use of mouse and typing way too much on your keyboard has created previously unheard of ailments. While the repetitive use of the mouse can lead to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), too much of the typing can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). If it is not taken care of, CTS can cause permanent nerve damage and muscle wasting! Also, keyboards are considered to be the hotspot for all kinds of bacteria, including the deadly e.Coli and coliforms, major causes of food poisoning.
The air you breathe in your comfortable air-conditioned office is almost 100 times harmful than the air outside, primarily because what you get is a recycled air to breathe. This includes all kinds of toxic particles, viruses and bacteria, pollutants from air conditioning and unhealthy gases and chemicals.
You want to outdo your peers by spending more time at work, sometimes over 10 hours a day. This leads to heightened restlessness, aggressiveness, tension and hyper-competitiveness. You'll be at a 60 percent higher risk of developing heart related problems like heart attack and angina.
You perform best under pressure and love beating deadlines! However, these deadlines which are often considered to be short term stress have an equally hazardous impact like that of a stress lasting for weeks and months! This affects your memory and learning abilities.
Having delicious pizzas and burgers with your favorite cold drink might sound a good idea, but they are a primary cause of obesity leading to diabetes, cardiovascular ailments, lethargy and drop in productivity.
These are just some of the major bad effects of your trying to achieve your dreams! Nothing in wrong with working hard to achieve your goals, living a good life, and take care of your near and dear ones, but then there is a way to live. Participating in a blind rat race without adequately taking care of your body will only bring bad results leading to spending more money on maintaining health rather than enjoying your hard-earned moolah!
Here are some simple tips you can follow to improve your work-life and ensure that it doesn't affect your health in any negative manner.
Firstly, work on the fuel that makes your body work, i.e. your diet! Eat on time, eat healthy foods involving fruits and vegetables and reduce sodium intake to help control your blood pressure.
Exercise daily for at least 30 minutes, so that the sedentary lifestyle gets a hard kick. Walking, jogging or weight training, whatever excites you, make it a part of your life and think of it as an investment that will give you better returns than the share market!
Try standing up, stretching, taking breaks from your rigorous work schedule and make sure that every half an hour or so, you are away from your second life partner: the laptop/desktop! Don't worry; it will not create any relationship issues! In fact, some amount of space is actually good for relationships, isn't it?
Sleep. Oh no, not at work, but at home and for at least 7 hours daily to be fresh at work the next day. Also, make sure you're not busy chatting away or watching forwarded videos on your latest smart phone right before you hit the bed. All of that can wait, not your healthy sleep!
Obviously most companies don't allow a nap at work, but finding time to take one or just relax for 10-15min without thinking anything and breathing slowly will help you de-stress and get your health back in order.
Cut back on drinking and smoking. Some addictions are only going to harm, no matter whether you're working or not working!
Work is what constitutes a major part of our lives and it is the reason for our survival. But it should not cut our lives short while we are trying to slog so hard to make a living. Instances of heart attacks, diabetes in people in late teens or early 20's are increasing manifolds and the major cause is stress and a sedentary lifestyle. As such so many things are going wrong, why let your dream job, your passion, your only mode of survival become a villain in your life? Instead be a hero and take control of your life and don't let work or colleagues or boss or your circumstances to walk over you! Let it be clear that you're going to earn money and live a life of your dreams, but at your terms in a healthy state of body and mind. After all, you're not just an employee, but a son, husband, brother, father and so many other things to so many people in your life. They want to see you happy, healthy and full of life, forever! Do it for them, if no one else!
You must take all these precautions to live a better and healthy life with a thought in mind that things still might go wrong, health might go for a spin anytime and your savings and expenses might not be enough to cover for your emergency needs. For such unfortunate times, do consider the idea of investing in some back-up for rainy days. Whether it is a Mediclaim or a health insurance or a life insurance policy, a sound investment will help you and your near and dear ones in times of need!
Jobs, businesses, employment opportunities will come and go. Health, on the other hand, once lost is lost forever! No amount of money, resources, and contacts will get it back for you. It's better to spend time and money on maintaining your health instead of trying to restore it and failing at it miserably.
Invest in your health and reap the rewards of a beautiful, healthy and content life!
It's one life, after all!

BA ADP English Poem Snake (D. H. Lawrence) Important Questions
Questions No 1. Describe as simply as you can the arrival of the snake at the water trough and its departure back into its hole. [Snake by D. H. Lawrence]
Ans. It was a very hot summer July day in the city of Etna in Sicily. The poet came down from his stairs in pajamas with a pitcher to get water. He saw a snake at his water-trough. The snake had come out of a crack in the mud-wall. The wall was under the large shadow of a carob tree. The snake had dragged its long golden body slowly. It rested its throat on the stone bottom of the trough. At that place, water was falling from the tap. The snake drank water from there peacefully.
The snake lifted its head while drinking, like cattle, and looked all around itself. It moved its forked tongue, mused awhile, and drank again. Later, it raised its head dreamily and moved its tongue again, satisfied. Then it went towards its hole and started to enter into it. It seemed to the poet like a lord of the underground world.
The poet hit it with a log and it moved its remaining body hastily into the hole. Very soon afterward, it disappeared into its dark hole completely.

Question No 2. Describe the conflict in the mind of D. H. Lawrence at the presence of the snake at his water trough.
Ans. When the poet saw a snake at his water trough, he had a conflict in his mind. Again and again, there were subtle changes in his relationship with the snake.
At first, he feels a little angry with it as he had to stand waiting for his turn at his own water trough, the snake being the first comer.
Then he feels honored to feel that the snake was a guest at his water-trough, he being the host.
Then he listens to his voice of education that tells him to kill it as it is a poisonous snake. But he cannot kill it as he is appreciating its beauty and its style of drinking.
Then the snake returns to its dark hole and the poet, forced by the voice of education plus his own disgust, strikes at it with a wooden log/stick.
Then he feels remorse for having struck. He wishes that the snake should arrive again and be honored, loved, and appreciated by him so that he can expiate.
Question No 3. Write the critical appreciation of the poem "Snake by D. H. Lawrence".
Ans. The poem "Snake" by D. H. Lawrence is one the most remarkable poems in English literature. It was written in 1921 and has been popular ever since that time. The poet saw a snake drinking water at his water trough. He got one sensation and consideration after another after seeing the snake. Here he gives all the different stages of his serious consideration about the snake.
The poem has different layers of meanings as it goes on to tell us about the poet's different reactions to the presence of the snake at his water trough. The poet has well analyzed all his sensations in detail. To start with, he sees the snake as an intruder who keeps him waiting for water at his own water trough. Later on, this feeling gives way to another feeling. Now he feels that the snake is a guest and he is host, and he feels honored at that!
The considerations of the poet again change. His education tells that the golden snakes of Sicily are poisonous and he should kill the snake as it is golden. But before he could attack it, he begins enjoying its beauty. He does not kill it, and because he is a coward but because it is a beautiful creature and he enjoys its beauty.
Later, the snake starts entering a dark hole and the poet is horrified. He throws a log at the trough the snake is able to enter safely into its hole. He now starts feeling shame and remorse at his hitting the snake. He feels that the snake was an exiled king that has now again returned to its underground kingdom, there to be crowned again. So the poet feels that he had treated such an exalted personality with meanness. He feels that if the snake would come back, he would amend his behavior and would show it due honor and respect.
The theme of the poem is an appreciation of beauty even in the seemingly ugly things. It is a grand theme. The same has been the theme of a very important classic of English literature. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by S. T. Coleridge. Beauty should be appreciated in all the creations of God. It is a very good lesson for us all that the poet teaches through this poem.
The theme has been presented in a very sweet manner through great sublime audio-visual imagery. We begin to see all the drama of the arrival and departure of the snake, we see "flickering" of the "forked tongue" of the snake, we see the "writhing", "wriggling" slow-moving long body of the snake moving into its dark hole. The theme has been expressed through a good set of pictures. The theme is serious and has been presented in a serious way.
The poem, in fact, becomes a sweet narration _ a song in praise of the snake _ a lyric in appreciation of the snake's beauty. It is a dramatic narration. The poem has been written in free verse in which all the lines are end-stopped without any enjambment. But there is the rhythm of the ideas in the poem that makes it well-balanced. The vocabulary is simple and elaborate. All the aspects of the appearance of the snake as well as changing conditions of the poet's consideration have been very aptly and suitably described. The diction is modern and well-suited to the grand and useful theme of the poem. The vocabulary is all related to the body of the snake and its movements. The poem is altogether a good and sublime one, teaching us a valuable lesson of appreciation of the beauty of nature even in seemingly ugly and dangerous creatures as snakes.
Question No 4. Pick out all the descriptive words used for the snake.
Ans. Here are all the descriptive words used for the snake by the poet:
Snake (line 1), yellow-brown slackness soft-bellied/Down (lines 9-10), sipped with straight mouth (line 13), Softly drank through his straight gums, into his slack long body (line 14), lifted his head … as cattle do (line 17), looked at … vaguely, as driking cattle do (line 18), flickered his two-forked tongue from his lips, and mused a moment (line 19), stooped (line 20), earth brown, earth golden (line 21), peaceful, pacified and thankless (line 30), lifted … head, dreamily (line 43), flickered his tongue like a forked night (line 44), seemingly to lick his lips (line 45), looked around like a god (line 46), slowly turned his head (line 47), slowly, very slowly … proceeded to draw his slow length curving around (lines 48-49), climb again (line 50), put his head (line 51), snake-easing his shoulders (line 52), drawing into (line 5), deliberately going … slowly drawing (line 54), convulsed in undignified haste (line 60), withed like lightning and was gone (line 61) one of the lords of the life (line 73).
Question No 5. Why does the poet think of his education as "accursed"?
Ans. The poet thinks of his education as "accursed" because (1) it did not allow him to appreciate the beauty of the snake, (2) it did not allow him to honor the snake as a guest and (3) it tempted him to kill the snake although it was returning to its dark hole without harming him.
Question No 6. Can you point out the subtle changes in the poet's relationship with the snake?
Ans. There come subtle changes in the poet's relationship with the snake.
Question No 7. Why is the poet glad to see the snake at his water trough?
Ans. The poet is glad to see the snake at his water trough because it was a beautiful golden (although poisonous!) snake and it had arrived at his water trough as a guest, to provide him the opportunity to be hospitable.

Extremely interesting post thank you for sharing I have added your site to my bookmarks and will be back By the way this is off subject but I really like your sites layout.
- simple simon – PB 8596?
At the moment only have MH's solo discography. Will be adding a look at MH's INXS work in the future. The 2 singles you mentioned are very rare! I do own both of them myself.
Underneath The Colours was only released as a 7" single in New Zealand when INXS toured there supporting Cold Chisel in early 1982.
Simple Simon 7" you mentioned is the French 7" which came with a picture sleeve, the Australian 7" didn't. Again very rare, your best bet is just to keep checking eBay and hope they come up.
Are there still songs (unreleased) of Michael Hutchence that can be published?
By the way thank you for your quick answer on my first question on your website.
Hey Tom – yes there is quite a few unreleased MH songs we have especially from his solo album that no one has heard before.
I've read that Michale Hutchence also worked with Tim Simenon from Bomb the Bass. They recorded over a dozen songs. Is this true? What will happen with these songs? Are these songs only demos?
Hey Tom – yes MH worked on about 12 songs with Tim Simenon. There is a number of other unreleased songs he also did with Danny Saber. There is enough unreleased songs for another Michael Hutchence solo album.
What is your top 10 of desirable INXS – records?
I an curious for the new Michael Hutchence-songs!!!
Bob Geldof can eat me.
Beautiful things Michael has done,i love him!!!
This is a unusually reputable look over looking for me. Necessity to that you are chestnut of the coolest blogger I ever saw. Thanks for posting this practical information. This was honest what I was on looking for. I'll bump into b pay up back to this blog in search sure!
I leave a reply when I enjoy reading an article on a website or if I have got something of value to bring towards discussion. And on this particular article I was seriously moved enough to leave a remark I do have some questions for you if it's allright?. Could it be simply me or do some of these comments come across as coming from brain dead folks? And, if you are posting on additional sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you list every one of your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile? Thanks!

Rutgers University–Camden
A Message from Antonio D. Tillis
Chancellor, Rutgers University–Camden
The 2021–2022 academic year marked a return to our classrooms and our workspaces after 18 months of mostly virtual interaction. Throughout the pandemic, we have supported each other in ways that define Rutgers University–Camden as a nurturing and inclusive community. That community includes you, our donors, whose steadfast support makes it possible for us to meet the needs of students and the demands of our mission.
Dedicated to student success, Rutgers–Camden delivers unique learning experiences that expand classrooms into the world through our transformative civic engagement initiatives, our dedication to engaging students in original research opportunities (as exemplified by our annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity program), our immersive Learning Abroad program, and much more.
Here are a few examples of how Rutgers–Camden continues to serve our student population and enrich our community.
The School of Nursing has distinguished itself throughout the pandemic as one of South Jersey's most critical resources in the fight against COVID-19. School of Nursing students and faculty served more than 70,000 of our neighbors and family members at mass vaccination sites in Blackwood and Camden.
The School of Business is piloting a peer-mentoring program that pairs a select group of first-year students with sophomores or juniors who will help them adjust to campus life and academics.
In our Faculty of Arts and Sciences, a new graduate student center has opened at 211 North Fifth Street, providing graduate students with their own much-needed space for learning and relaxing.
Rutgers Law School in Camden recently welcomed one of the largest and most diverse first-year (1L) classes in recent history. Some of these students will be the first to take the course "Law and Inequality" as it debuts this semester.
As a donor, you help make it all possible. The following report highlights the impact that you and other donors have at Rutgers–Camden. Although space prevents us from discussing every donor-supported fund, program, or research initiative, you can take pride in knowing that you make a difference no matter your area(s) of support. Your support ensures that opportunities, breakthroughs, and success stories like the ones highlighted below are possible at Rutgers–Camden.
I wish you continued good health and safety.

A weeklong celebration of research demonstrates what Rutgers–Camden students are capable of.
Research is an integral part of the Rutgers–Camden experience, and donor support creates opportunities for discovery at Camden College of Arts and Sciences. Every April, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences–Camden Office of the Dean hosts Research Week, which celebrates the research accomplishments of our students.
The week begins with a lecture and luncheon featuring the recipient of the previous year's Arts and Sciences Faculty Fellowship. Doctoral and master's students from the Graduate School–Camden participate in a Graduate Research Symposium and a Graduate School Student Paper Competition; the winner gives a keynote address.
At the Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, students share research projects across a range of topics. Recent presentations have included a podcast about immigration, an investigation into fashion and microplastics, and an overview of COVID-19's effect on Camden's food system. Students learn about faculty-student research collaborations and campus resources to help them apply to prestigious programs like the Fulbright.
"Attending Rutgers–Camden has made it possible to pursue my dreams of becoming a scientist," says senior Anthony Sbarra. Sbarra is working on two research projects: mathematical modeling for the spread of COVID-19 and a predictive model for food insecurity in Atlantic City. "Conducting this research is great because it could actually benefit others, which is something I've always wanted to do," he says.
Thanks to continued donor support, students like Sbarra have the opportunity to explore their interests and make meaningful discoveries. This year's Research Week begins April 11. Please check here for updates and additional information.
Students provide needed representation to members of New Jersey's immigrant community.
Founded in 2012, the Immigrant Justice Clinic at Rutgers Law School is both a course and a student-staffed law office representing members of New Jersey's immigrant community in humanitarian immigration matters. Clinic students also work to increase awareness of immigrant issues in the state's criminal justice, child welfare, and domestic violence systems. Donor support for the clinic through the Hoffman Fund ensures that clinic clients have the best possible representation by Rutgers Law students, who work under the supervision of a licensed attorney.
Joanne Gottesman, clinical professor of law and director of the clinic, believes participating in a law clinic provides vital experience to Rutgers Law students. "Unlike most jobs or internships, clinic work is the only opportunity that actually puts students into the driver's seat," says Gottesman.
In addition to providing hands-on experience, the clinic makes an impact on the local community through direct client representation and community outreach, says Gottesman. Community outreach has included partnerships with St. Joseph's Pro-Cathedral, the Camden Library, and Volunteers of America.
Donor support helps cover fees incurred by representing clinic clients. "If the clinic needs to hire a forensics expert, obtain a psychological evaluation for a client, order a transcript, or have a deposition, those are the things that cost money, and our clients don't have the money," says Gottesman.
"Working with our clients has a huge impact on our students, hearing what they have experienced," Gottesman says. "Whether it was things they experienced in their home countries, things they experienced on their journey here, or in their lives here, they are stories of amazing strength and resilience."
It's not easy being a student, and it's even harder when you don't have enough to eat.
Across the nation, food insecurity has posed a significant barrier to student success. Nearly half of all college students worry about where they will find their next meal. Donor support for the Raptor Pantry offers all Rutgers–Camden students the assistance they need to stay focused on their studies.
Since 2017, the Raptor Pantry has served students facing food insecurity. Students can visit the pantry any time they need extra help. The Raptor Pantry stocks its shelves with groceries and toiletries thanks to donor support, food drives, student organization efforts, and special initiatives like the Raptors vs. Raiders Food Drive Challenge. This friendly competition between the pantries in Camden and Newark is meant to raise awareness about food insecurity and put a dent in student hunger.
Due to remote learning during the 2020–2021 academic year, visits to the Raptor Pantry declined. But that decrease did not reflect a decrease in need. As students returned to campus in fall 2021, visits steadily increased. As a result, the Raptor Pantry will continue to rely on donor support to keep students from missing meals.
The program is preparing the next generation of those who will fill this crucial role.
The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the role of nurses in our society—and the ever-increasing demand for them. The School of Nursing is training the next generation of nursing leaders, like Miriam Anukah.
After receiving her first degree from Rutgers University–New Brunswick, Anukah decided to continue her studies at Rutgers–Camden. "I wanted to take on a profession that gave me a sense of fulfillment," she says. She was inspired by her mother, who has been a nurse for more than 20 years and recently obtained her doctorate in nursing practice. "Seeing her persevere and commit to her patients as a nurse was admirable and gave me the confirmation that I was making the right choice in picking this profession."
Anukah is interested in progressive and intensive care. "There's a sense of satisfaction knowing I brought a person back to good health, in whatever way I could. Full dedication to patients is required when working in this field, and regardless of what specialty a nurse commits to, providing care to those in need will always be a top priority." Anukah is preparing for the National Council Licensure Examination and hopes to gain experience by working in a hospital setting. Afterward, she would like to transition to travel nursing to experience different health care settings and broaden her knowledge of the field.
Anukah appreciates the support donors provide the school. "In one way or another," she says, "you have impacted many nursing students, including me."
Experiential Opportunities students for success in college and as they transition into their careers.
Thanks to donor support, our students can set themselves apart from their peers through access to opportunities that provide personal and professional growth, like those offered through the Student Engagement, Empowerment, and Development (SEED) Office.
SEED is an innovative resource that strives to organize and expose our students to educational and experiential events and activities that prepare them for both success in college as well as a successful transition to the career of their choice. SEED affords business students the opportunity to learn more about themselves, the importance of planning and goal setting, their career interests, and various industries and occupations. All students will engage with the SEED team within their first year at RSBC, whether they are first-year or transfer students.
"The SEED Office is RSBC's nucleus for student experiential learning activities. Our focus is on meaningful student engagement, critical skills development and relationship-building, which fosters confidence and enthusiasm to prepare them for leadership, successful post-graduation employment, and impactful life pursuits," says Natalie Cox, SEED Officer for Internships. "We leverage co-curricular opportunities to transform and empower students as future business professionals, change-makers, ethical leaders, and empathetic advocates to add value for themselves, their communities, and prospective employers."
On average, 600 students are enrolled in one of the professional skills and development courses each year. These are designed to prepare students to be career-ready – focusing on building their professionalism and work ethic while developing a greater self-awareness and growth mindset towards managing and preparing for their future careers. This fall, SEED kicked-off a peer mentorship pilot where a small cohort of experienced students offered strategies to mitigate academic and personal challenges for student mentees. Recruitment for additional mentors and mentees is ongoing.
