Q: Sum of Discrete Uniforms, but each value can be picked no more than N times? Suppose there are i.i.d. variables $X_{1,..n}$ with discrete uniform distribution with the support $[1, n]$. What would be the distribution of such a sum if we introduce the condition that each value cannot appear more than $N$ times in the sum?
E.g., if $N = 1$, we have sampling without replacement, if $N = 2$, any number can only appear twice in the sum. $N = \infty$ is equivalent to sampling with replacement.

A: Using the interpretation of @whuber in the comments, while I do not know if there is a closed form solution for this problem, it does lend itself to exploration via simulation. First, the answer for $N = 1$ is clear: it is $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$.
For the remainder, I will use the assumption that before the bootstrap, every number is equiprobable. Once a number is chosen, well, it can only be chosen $N - 1$ more times. Therefore, the key will be for each investigation of $k\in 1,\ldots,n$ to generate $N$ versions of it first and then take a sample of size $n$ without replacement.
I think the code below should be straightforward:
LimitedBoot <- function(n, N) {
  universe <- rep(1:n, each = N)
  sum(sample(universe, n, replace = FALSE))
}

GenSamps <- function(n, N, s) {
  if (n < 1 | N < 1) {stop('n and N must be >= 1')}
  n <- as.integer(n)
  N <- as.integer(N)
  s <- as.integer(s)
  # Create n/N pairs
  pars <- expand.grid(list(n = 1:n, N = 1:N))
  # Remove pairs which make no sense (repeats larger than support)
  pars <- pars[which(pars$N <= pars$n), ]
  # Pre-allocate your arrays if you can
  RS <- array(NA_integer_, # Just to be visually distinct from 0
              dim = c(max(pars$n), max(pars$N), s),
              dimnames = list(paste('n =', 1:max(pars$n)),
                          paste('N =', 1:max(pars$N)),
                              paste('samp', 1:s)))
  # Now for the loop. Traverse the par list and generate samples based on
  # restricted universe. Should result in a "triangular" array whose summary
  # functions will be a triangular matrix
  for (i in seq_along(pars$n)) {
    RS[pars$n[i], pars$N[i], ] <- replicate(s, LimitedBoot(pars$n[i], pars$N[i]))
  }
  RS
}

Now for some results:
A <- GenSamps(20, 10, 1000))

The $N = 1$ columnn is what we expected. However. what is surprising is that the means of the remaining columns still cluster around $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$. So either there is something wrong with my implementation or there may be some deeper symmetry involved.
Update with KDE plot for $N = 2$
Based on the comments below, the following sequence of plots may be of interest. Very lumpy when there are few options as most KDE plots of discrete distributions tend to be, but smooths into a nice Gaussian form pretty quickly.

A: Let $n = 20, N = 10.$ then the population from which we can sample (without replacement)
consists of $N$ copies of $1, 2, \dots, n.$ Then the maximum sample size is $200$ and a sample x of size $200$ will exactly match the population. Using R:
pop = rep(1:20, N)
summary(pop);  length(pop);  sd(pop)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
   1.00    5.75   10.50   10.50   15.25   20.00
[1] 200       # population size
[1] 5.780751  # population SD (with denom 199)

x = sample(pop, 200)
summary(x);  length(x);  sd(x)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
   1.00    5.75   10.50   10.50   15.25   20.00
[1] 200       # sample size
[1] 5.780751  # sample SD

That part is trivial. So your question must have something to
do with samples of size less than 200.  However, you give no
clue what that question is.
Let's look at a sample of size $50.$
set.seed(2021)
y = sample(pop, 50)
summary(y);  length(y);  sd(y)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
   1.00    7.00   11.50   10.92   15.00   20.00
[1] 50
[1] 5.382663
table(y)
y
  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
  2  2  2  1  1  3  3  5  2  2  2  4  3  4  3  3  2  1  2  3

A: I get a reasonable normal distribution approximation with the following code. It is a bit heuristic and I have not yet a strong argument for this method. Below is the reasoning behind it:
I compute the variance by considering the sum as a sort of random walk process of the partial sum $S_k = \sum_{j=1}^{k} X_k$. With this random walk there is an attractive force towards $(n+1)/2$ because the mean of the variables that are not yet chosen will be higher/lower depending on the sum $S_k$. So if $S_k/k$ is larger/lower than $(n+1)/2$ then the expectation of $X_{k+1}$ will be the opposite and with a relative magnitude $\frac{k}{Nn-k}$.
This makes that the variance of $S_k$ is not simply $k \sigma^2$ with $\sigma^2 = \frac{n^2-1}{12}$ the variance of the discrete uniform distributed numbers from which the sample is taken. Instead, we approximate it with:
$$\text{Var}(S_{k+1}) = \frac{1}{(Nn-k)^2} \text{Var}(S_{k}) + \sigma^2$$

### function to simulate sampling with limited numbers
### and return the sum of the sample
smp = function(n,N) {
  x = rep(1:n, times=N)
  y = sample(x,n,replace = 0)
  return(sum(y))
}

n = 30 ### size of population to sample
nr = 10^6 ### number of simulation

### compute ranges for plotting
summu = n*(n+1)/2
sumvar = mean((c(1:n)-(n+1)/2)^2)*n

x_lims = summu + c(-3,3)*sumvar^0.5
y_lim = dnorm(summu, summu, sumvar^0.5)*2

plot(-100,-100,
     xlim = x_lims, ylim = c(0,y_lim),
     xlab = "sum", ylab = "frequency")

### compute for different values of N
for (i in 1:4) {
  N = c(2,3,4,n)[i]
  col = c(2,3,4,1)[i]

  #### repeat sampling and plotting
  z = replicate(nr,smp(n,N))
  h = hist(z, breaks = seq(-0.5,max(z+0.5),1), plot=0)
  points(h$mids, h$counts/nr, col=col, pch=21, bg=col, cex=0.5)

  ### normal approximation estimate
  mu = n*(n+1)/2
  ### compute variance
  vr1 = mean((c(1:n)-(n+1)/2)^2)
  vr = vr1
  for (j in 1:(n-1)) {
    vr = vr * (1-1/(N*n-j))^2 + vr1
  }

  ### add line for normal approximation
  x = seq(min(x_lims),max(x_lims),0.1)
  lines(x,dnorm(x,mu,vr^0.5), col = col)

There was a process I had to work through.
First, I felt betrayed. I had just placed my daughter into their arms, trusting that they would follow through on their promises—and now they were not only canceling a visit, but weren't allowing me to have any visits for five months. I would only be able to see her through pictures and their family blog. I didn't understand how they could do this to me.
Next, I became confused. What had I done to make them cancel a visit? Had I said something inappropriate, had I done something that I wasn't aware of? Did they not want an open adoption anymore? Was it because I wanted to be closer, relationship-wise, to my daughter?
Then I resigned myself to the situation. I learned I had to have patience and be satisfied with the contact that I did have until they were ready to go back to having visits. I realized that if I continued to feel angry, confused, and betrayed, I would never be able to open up my heart to having a great relationship with them in the future.
Finally I gained some understanding. When we had our next visit, I realized why they had cancelled. They were pregnant and concerned that I would be mad that they were having a baby. After that realization, I felt compassion for them. Above all, I felt happiness because I had wanted so badly for them to experience the joy of having a baby and being able to grow their family even more.
In the end, I was actually grateful that they canceled the visits for a few months because it gave me an opportunity to appreciate our usual level of openness. Now, over two years later we have a great relationship, great communication, we show our love, and our appreciation for each other in a very healthy way.
While I was able to grow through this process, I believe that the key here was more open communication. If I had understood the reasons behind the changes in our visits, the separation would have been much less painful for everyone.


Kings Heath ABC twins Johnny and Felix Fitzharris pulled off two fine wins against the odds in the pre-quarter-finals held at the Donnington Club in Shropshire.
Johnny accounted for highly-touted Muhammad Sulamen (Eastside) by way of a unanimous decision.
Sulamen, who had three times the experience of four-bout fighter Johnny, could not handle the sustained pressure of the small, aggressive Kings Heath boxer, who dominated each round from the opening bell and forced the pace with a very impressive performance.
Felix was also conceding a wealth of experience and he was pushed in each round by Ethan Rutter (Second City ABC).
But it was the slick moves of Felix who captured the eye of the judges and this 4-1 split decision win kept the unbeaten records of both brothers intact.
"We took a chance with entering both these lads through their lack of experience and now both have captured area titles so the decision has been justified," said Kings Heath head coach Arthur Daly.
"This was very satisfying against the quality of opposition, who represented very strong clubs.
Multi-junior title champion Ben Vaughan makes his senior debut this weekend.
He will be up against a British Army boxer in a bill that will also see the talented Jag Briah taking on another member of the Army team over three three-minute rounds.
"We have been nurturing both for longevity in the Seniors and we are looking forward to these bouts," Daly said.

Ola and the country's top utility vehicle maker Mahindra and Mahindra are set to announce a joint initiative on Thursday, according to an invitation sent to the media.
Mahindra is likely to offer leasing of cars, financing and auto insurance to Ola as part of the deal, CNBC TV 18 reported on Wednesday.
Ola and Mahindra declined to comment on the specifics of the initiative.
Ola and global rival Uber have burned through money to capture market share in India, one of the world's fastest growing taxi markets worth nearly $12 billion.
Ola last year announced a tie up with Nissan Motor India to buy and lend cars to its drivers. And last month, Tata Motors's parent Tata Group, became the first Indian carmaker to tie-up with Uber.
Overseas, General Motors in January announced a $500 million investment in Lyft, with plans down the road to develop an on-demand network of self-driving cars.
In May, Toyota also laid out plans to invest in Uber to create flexible vehicle leasing terms, while the ride-hailing service has also entered into a $300 million deal with the Volvo Car Group to develop self-driving cars.
Europe's largest automaker Volkswagen has also announced a $300 million investment in Gett aimed at car sharing, limousine rides and taxi services.


"Perfect Imperfection," the April exhibit at Vermont Center for Photography in Brattleboro, is a window to emotion. It presents what people feel is imperfect about themselves, emotionally or physically, and is about discovery, a journey, and acceptance.
A collaborative photography and creative writing project by Liz LaVorgna and Shanta L.E., "Perfect Imperfection" is an invitation to the community to accept and embrace their imperfections through photographs and story. These visual and written stories include emotionally charged topics like abandonment and domestic violence, as well as physical issues including varying degrees of body shame.
Shanta explains: "In a society that relies on Photoshop and other techniques to present individuals as perfect, we face more pressure than ever before to become what we are not. This exhibit is intended to encourage dialogue about imperfections and how we can work to embrace them. Perfection is a universal issue that everyone strives for and suffers from. Perceived imperfection is like heavy armor. We carry it around every day believing it protects us. In reality," she counters, "it shields us from the world and keeps us from fully accepting and embracing ourselves. Just as things are not negative or positive, they ARE. We ARE."
"Perfect Imperfection" will be on display through April 26, with an opening reception on Friday, April 3, from 5:30 to 8:30 during Gallery Walk. The gallery is otherwise open Friday through Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m.
Liz LaVorgna studied photography and digital media arts at Keene State College in New Hampshire and has had several solo and group photo exhibits. "My photographs have been used to promote artists for high-end gallery exhibits and for use by Fortune 500 companies. My work also gives joy and a sense of empowerment to my clients." Liz likes to give back to the community and in addition to mentoring photography students at area high schools, she has volunteered her services to several local organizations, including the Women's Freedom Center, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and Brattleboro Area Prevention Coalition.
Shanta L.E. grew up in Hartford, Connecticut. The seeds for a love affair with beautiful images were planted when she fell in love with a Nikon camera owned by her parents. She sneaked the camera out of the house while packing up for her first year of college. Her passion for photography was further nurtured during her first trip to Uganda, Africa. In October 2011, Shanta traveled to India for five months. In between jobs at the time, she referred to this experience as "an opportunity to take a break from the economy and have the rare experience of seeing the world." Shanta shared some of her experiences there in her photography show debut "Surrender."

Writing, dance, and the collection of fairytales/stories/mythology from various cultures are just a few things that have become staples in Shanta's life. She also is a multi-faceted professional with a background that includes management, advocacy, and workshop/program creation/implementation. Shanta has a Master's degree in Business and an undergraduate degree in Women, Gender, and Sexuality.

Get Ready For Fall With These 4 Trends!
So, tell me! What do you look forward to with the season's change? Here are a few of my favorite things: Pumpkin everything, colorful leaves, cozy oversized sweaters, and boots…and it wouldn't be right not to mention new makeup trends!
This season is all about fusing bold patterns with vibrant colors and textured finishes for a look that is perfectly mismatched. We are seeing quite a bit leopard print this year.
The Motives In The Mix Palette create the perfect building blocks for your look, and layer with Motives Liquid Metal Eye Shadow to add dimension for a stunning effect. Spice up your lips this fall with this lipstick duo in Pumpkin Spice. The bold pairing of burnt pumpkin and brick red gives your lips dimension that leaves an impact. Wear them together or separately, the choice is yours. Don't forget that your skin needs some TLC! Rejuvenate it with just one spritz of Lumière de Vie Rosé Refresher.
I asked some of my friends to help me out and try my latest fall must have beauty products, then I put together some trendy outfits for them. I LOVE that all of these looks use the same products, yet they all look so different!
I found this cute leopard print sweater and added these comfortable, and versatile black boots. I saw these earrings and knew they were perfect for this outfit!!
1. Begin by using Motives Eye Base.
2. Apply Dark Purple (color on the left) from Motives In The Mix Palette in the crease blending out with the Motives Blending Brush.
3. Apply Motives Liquid Metal Eye Shadow-Mystic on the mobile lid.
4. Blend the Black color from In the Mix Palette in outer V with Motives Blending Brush.
5. Apply Motives Liquid Metal Eye Shadow-Nirvana on lower lash line about 1/2 way across.
6. Finish lower lash line with Motives Liquid Metal Eye Shadow-Renegade.
7. Create winged eyeliner using Motives Angled Brush with Motives Gel Eyeliner-Little Black Dress.
8. Apply Motives Fiberlush mascara on top and bottom lashes.
9. Mix both colors from Motives Pumpkin Spice Lipstick and apply to lips.
I decided to put Brittany in this comfy sweater, jeans and these neutral boots. I dressed her up a little with a larger earring, but kept the necklace simple.
Eyes: little black dress for dramatic liner, Nefertiti, Aphrodite from dynasty palette on the wing with the two liquid shadow colors and demure palette for the crease.
I dressed Kim up in this warm sweater dress. I love that it has long sleeves. I choose these high suede boots and larger purse. She can definitely rock these earrings and bold bracelet.
1. Begin by applying Motives Eye Base with a concealer brush all over the eye, from lash to brow.
2. Press Vanilla Motives Pressed Eye Shadow all over the lid with the Motives All Over Shadow Brush in order to set the eye base .
3. Using the eye blender brush, place Cappuccino Motives Pressed Eye Shadow into the crease of the eye.
4. Apply Mystic Motives Liquid Metal Eye Shadow all over the lid with a blending brush.
5. Blend the edges with a blending brush so they are soft.
6. Apply the center color in the Motives In The Mix Palette into the crease to create more depth.
7. Line the eye with Motives Gel Eye Liner-Little Black Dress on the top of the upper lash line and between the lashes.
8. Using a Detail Brush soften the top edge of the eye liner with the center color from the In The Mix Palette, causing it to look double lined. The black liner should fade into the brown shadow, which then fades into the Mystic Motives Liquid Metal Eye Shadow.
9. Using a smudge brush, line the bottom lash line with the center color from the In The Mix Palette.
10. Apply another coat of Mystic Liquid Metal Eye Shadow all over the lid with a blending brush to make the color pop.
8. Finish off the look with Motives Fiber Lush Mascara.
11. Apply Red Currant Motives Lip Crayon to the outer line of the lip. Fill in softly so the lipstick stays in longer.
12. Apply the red color of the Motives Pumpkin Spice Lipstick all over the lip.
13. Apply the lighter color in the center of the lip.
It wouldn't be fair if I didn't participate too!!
I decided to embrace the leopard print, and have to admit, I normally wouldn't choose these bold boots! I loved this handbag and thought they should go together. This jacket will keep me warm during the cold Wisconsin "Fall" and it too have a touch of animal print.
Which look is your favorite? Are you ready to add these must have fall beauty products? You can find them all by clicking here!
I knew that everyone would be wondering where I found all of these clothes, and you can find them all at Express!!

North and East Syria's Political Experiment Continues Despite Its Challenges
This report by Nina Steinhardt was published by Novara Media on 4 May, 2020. Nina Steinhardt is a researcher at the Rojava Information Center, an independent, volunteer-staffed media organisation based in North and East Syria.
In October 2019, the invasion of north-eastern Syria by the Turkish army and proxy forces caught the attention of the world.
Humanitarian organisations, grassroots campaigns and state governments decried the invasion as a gross attack on the civilian population of the region, popularly known as Rojava. As the humanitarian impact of the invasion escalated and Turkish forces stood accused of several high-profile war crimes, global opinion stood with the underdog – the autonomous administration and its armed forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Being an underdog isn't a new experience for the people of north-eastern Syria, having not only led the armed resistance against Isis but having at the same time built up a democratic political system based on gender equality and diversity. Over the past eight years since the 'Rojava revolution' first unfolded in the Kurdish-majority regions of north-east Syria, the system of political governance – called democratic confederalism – has grown in complexity and scale, expanding to include many Arab-majority regions as they were liberated from Isis control, leading the Syrian Democratic Council to adopt the region's new name: the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).
Beyond the frontlines.
After an explosion of media attention following the Turkish invasion, coverage ebbed away as Turkish proxy forces advanced and settled in for an indefinite occupation. Millions of people around the world were left wondering what had become of the people and political project of north-east Syria. That's why the Rojava Information Center published 'Beyond the Frontlines', the most in-depth explanation to date – with diagrams – of the political system here in North and East Syria.
The report covers the development of political and civil institutions from grassroots to state level since the emergence of autonomy in 2012, and aims to extend the spotlight beyond the more well-known military aspects of the 'Rojava revolution' – the People's Defence Forces YPG and YPJ, part of the Syrian Democratic Forces – by explaining the civil institutions the military units are fighting to defend. The report describes a 'work-in-progress', in the words of the civil institutions' practitioners, therefore highlighting the gaps between theory and practice.
Those who have followed the democratic project in Rojava will likely know that its basic building-block is the commune, a representative decision-making body operating at the level of a village or city street. The 'democratic confederalist' project in North and East Syria does not attempt to directly supplant a pre-existing nation-state – in this case the Syrian state – but instead starts building power alongside the state, working towards democratisation and federalisation, with the ultimate aim that the state becomes obsolete and ceases to function both as an institution and as a mentality.
In the report we explain what a commune actually looks like when working successfully – for example in the village of Carrudi. Here, villagers manage collective fields according to co-operative principles, with most of the villagers donating time and labour to work the land and the harvest shared between everyone. Recently, the commune decided to build a village community centre, which is now being constructed by the villagers themselves.
But we also point to the failings of this system: that although communes are widely used to access subsidised diesel and bread, among other daily essentials, and to file requests and complaints to the local municipality, they do not yet serve as a mechanism by which locals can have their voices heard on macro-political issues. Although intended to serve 100 people, in reality many communes incorporate over 1000, making it difficult for grassroots political expression to take place, while in general the local population is not always used to – and to a certain extent disinterested in – deeper political engagement.
New demographics in the AANES.
To understand these tensions and difficulties, it is necessary to understand North and East Syria as something broader than just 'the Kurds'.
Following the expulsion of Assad's regime from border regions in 2012, it was initially three isolated, Kurdish-majority cantons which first declared autonomy. Following a bloody fight against jihadist factions like Jabhat al-Nusra, who sought to seize Kurdish cities, and alongside clashes with the regime, the Kurdish regions came under assault by Isis.
The YPG and YPJ's successful defeat of the Isis siege on Kobanî won the battalions a trickle and then a stream of international support. Backed by the international coalition against Isis, Kurdish, Arabic and Christian units joined together to form the SDF, going on to liberate Arab-majority regions in Manbij, Raqqa and finally Deir-ez-Zor from Isis control.
As such, the population of North and East Syria is likely no longer majority-Kurdish, and there is a world of difference between a Kurdish neighbourhood in Kobanî and an Arab village outside Raqqa. Self-defence, diplomacy and caring for millions of displaced people all require political organisation on a vast scale. To do this, there are seven levels of organisation within the autonomous system, all with their own councils and democratic processes, from commune through neighbourhood to sub-district, district, canton, region and finally the AANES itself.
The AANES is responsible for the administration of the seven regions through elected bodies and ministries in fields like health, education and infrastructure. At the same time, the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) represents political parties, and is geared towards unifying all of Syria into a federal, democratic, women-led and multi-cultural political entity.
Crucially, this system allows for variance between the different regions, in line with the revolution's fundamental principle of diversity and local plurality. The 2014 Women's Law forbids polygamy, but to accommodate Arab tribes in Deir-ez-Zor – who are opposed to attempts to forbid polygamy – the Autonomous Administration tries to balance the principles of the revolution which brought it to power with a more diplomatic approach in areas outside the Kurdish-majority north.
Social initiatives are underway to help resolve these tensions. In this example, the SDC has set up and works with a tribal council representing leaders from Arab tribes across North and East Syria, while the women's office of the SDC engages with the wives of tribal leaders with a view to empowering women within the existing social context.
Indeed, the SDC's seat of government itself was established in Ayn Issa, a majority-Arab town far from Kurdish-majority regions, to better ensure Arab representation and participation. The Turkish invasion forced the evacuation of Ayn Issa, leading the SDC to re-establish itself in Raqqa. That the former Isis stronghold has become a safe haven for the 'Rojava revolution' to continue its work gives some indication of how far things have come since the first declaration of autonomy.
A 'work-in-progress' continues.
Along with the slaughter of hundreds and displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians, Turkish invasions in January 2018 and October 2019 totally destroyed the democratic civil society institutions in the zones now under occupation.
In their place, jihadist militias controlled, armed and funded by Turkey are imposing sharia law and engaging in extortion, kidnapping, murder, torture, rape and other forms of gender-based violence, alongside the forcible Turkification and expulsion of the Kurdish population. The zones that still remain under the protection of the SDF are braced for future attacks as Turkey seeks to expand the zone of occupation.
The number one priority for those serious about defending democracy and human rights in North and East Syria is of course reversing these catastrophic losses. Much like the war against Isis, the struggle against Turkish occupation has served to further unite Arab, Kurdish and other populations in North and East Syria. The threat of Turkish occupation serves as a reminder to civilians here that, however suspiciously they might view direct democracy and women's empowerment, they undeniably enjoy greater equality, access to basic essentials and safety from violence under the AANES than anywhere else in the region.
North and East Syria is [not] without its flaws, and there are internal issues which need resolving as the democracy here develops. The Administration's approach to elections has been somewhat inconsistent, with a lack of clarity over how to incorporate opposition, and an occasionally superficial approach to elections. In many localities, the commune system has struggled to develop a solid foundation, or sometimes defaulted into a vehicle for service provision rather than a vibrant hub of direct democracy.
Activists invested in the new political system argue they are not trying to meet western standards of democracy, so much as trying to build a more profound and broad understanding of democracy. The economy – often seen as separate from more political conceptions of democracy – is seen as a core part of democratic society here. It follows that nurturing a co-operative economy is an attempt to empower society as producers and economic actors, not simply consumers. The inclusion of civil society within the political system, for example, creates a counter-balance to the accumulation of power within the AANES and SDC, and encourages a vibrant and varied range of institutions and initiatives. The aim, say activists, is that at every level of society people are empowered as political actors, supported by the wide range of educational programs which are raising the general standard of education across North and East Syria.
Promisingly, people from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds are now finding ways to move past historical animosities and inequalities, and many are exercising their long-denied cultural rights. Most vitally, in a region in which women suffer systematic disenfranchisement and oppression, women in North and East Syria are centrally involved in every dimension of society, and are benefiting from a concrete transferral of power through the structures and principles of the political system. Across North and East Syria, democracy is perhaps most alive not in the communes or the Syrian Democratic Council, but in the Women's Houses, where domestic disputes over violence, marriage and divorce are resolved without resorting to the courts or honour killings, through dialogue with the mediation of respected local women.
At a time when the dominant political and economic systems are unable to cope with the global crises we are facing – climate, economic, political and, now, health – there is a call for new systems that are based on democratic principles, rather than authoritarian or neo-fascist ones. In North and East Syria, we have one contemporary example of what this new world can look like.

Officer Gomez, Sandra Gomez stood five feet six inches and had brown stubble for hair. She had a strong jaw yet a very attractive face. She became a Chicago Police officer five years back. She served as a young Marine in Desert Storm in the early 1990's. As far as women police officers go, she looked butch but yet had a stunningly beautiful face.
Sandra was a second generation Ecuadorian who looked European. Her parents had left Ecuador when she was very young. They had a hacienda like home in Quito that was equipped with servants. The servants were poor Quechua Indians. Three Indian women took care of the home and the children. They wore big skirts and Fedora hats. Her father heard from friends who did really well in United States with real estate and so the family moved to Chicago. They moved to the United States and it really never turned out to be that lucrative for them. Everyone thought that because of their last name, that they were Puerto Rican. Sandra's father considered changing their last name to Jensen, which is Norwegian for the son of Jen. Sandra's mother, who's maiden name was Hidalgo, thought that taking on a Scandinavian name was ridiculous. The family struggled like many immigrant families do but they were happy and well balanced. Sandra's family eventually went back to live in Quito where life was much slower and more patient with older people.
Sandra started to lift weights towards the end of high school. She had a boyfriend that would slap the back of her arm and laugh when it jiggled. He told her that he loved Hispanic girls with a little meat on them. He told her that he was not interested in skinny white girls. Sandra one day saw her boyfriend coming out of a restaurant with a skinny white girl with blond hair, with her arm wrapped around his. It had been weeks since he initiated sex between them and Sandra suspected something. Sandra began to run everyday. It was hard at first to run two blocks. By the time she joined the Marines, she was able to run an eight minute mile.
Sandra like many women who had low opinions of themselves, felt that she could always do better. Sandra discussed with an owner of the small store front gym that she would like to be more toned and more muscular. This store front owner began to give her injections of a steroid that was purchased for dirt cheap in Mexico. Within three months, Sandra was stronger and looked stronger. Her stomach was defined and her arms were muscular. Her breasts became domed shape rather than plump and full. Sandra could run faster and lift more weights. The gym owner told her how much money she could make on the side by doing wrestling and stripping aside from entering body building competitions.
On Monday nights, the gym owner would rent out a suite at a luxurious downtown Chicago hotel and invite men to wrestle women like Sandra. They would pay $200.00 an hour to writhe and wiggle on a rubber mat, covered with oil. The same gym owner was able to convince the women to do lesbian porn movies too. Sandra and the other women became hooked on the way they looked and the gym owner was their pimp. Sandra's job was to arrest people who took, sold and distributed other illegal drugs during work but she saw nothing wrong with what she was doing.
"Sir… You the owner of this building?" Asked Sandra while pointing her pen at Mort.
"I'm just the manager of the building," said Mort, while fixing his glasses, sporting a ball cap that read, "Bass fear me".
"I thought this guy here was the manager… What's your name again?"
Dwight replied. Sandra asked to see his driver's license because she thought he was trying to be funny. Sandra had decided that if it was not his name, she was going to find a reason to bring him into the station. Fortunately for Dwight, it was his name.
"No, I'm the janitor, he's the manager… They need managers to watch the janitors and then the big boss watches everyone. Nobody trusts each other… This is how it works. I don't need him and he don't need his boss but everyone need a job."
Sandra closed her eyes and held up her hand for Dwight to stop speaking. The night before, she had wrestled a group of Japanese men who were executives for a drug company. Their job was to come and tell the Americans who ran their company for them in the United States, that they were being bought out by another drug company and that 50% of the current workers would be let go. Their company had just developed a drug that helped people with narcolepsy, stay awake. It worked so well that young twenty something aged clubbers were using it so that they could stay up all night. Their slogan was a catchy one. They had a Charles Nelson Reilly look alike with a magic wand, spreading pixie dust over the head of some poor person who was unable to stay awake.
"Wakie wakie, eggs and bakie…" said the Charles Nelson Reilly impersonator with a magic wand, while laughing hardily with a double chin.
That became the catch phrase all over the United States and Canada. The scientists had actually screwed up. They were trying to make a drug that helped people with insomnia sleep. It had the reverse effect. Insomniacs were up for days and felt great as if they had slept. One of the scientist decided to try it on narcoleptics and voila. One billion dollars in tests for the FDA and the fledgling drug company had struck gold. On billboards, on the sides of busses, on the radio and television, was the distinct laugh of Charles Nelson Reilly, a moderately famous dead actor who was flamboyant yet funny.
Those who worked for the company thought that they were secure. The three Japanese men were there to bust the bubble. There was another company that was purchasing them and only needed a portion of the work force. C'est la vie.
Sandra had to wrestle the three hatchet men from Japan men who were in their early thirties. Through their interpreter, they asked Sandra if it would be possible to have sex with her at the same time. They were willing to pay her close to $3,000.00. For them it was a deal since their money was exchanged from Euros. Sandra declined. They offered her and extra $1,000.00 if they could masturbate on her. She went along with that. The gym owner had cameras set up in the room and caught every second of it. It became his promotional film for Japanese executives. It was on the internet but was not easy to find. Sandra never found out. Sandra was towelling the spew off of herself at roughly one in the morning while the three Japanese men, grinned like fools and bowed to her as she got dressed and exited the hotel room. The money was helping Sandra to buy her dream house along the shores of Lake Michigan. She had several thousand saved in certificates of deposits. She was a million away but getting closer all the time. The dream house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright back in the twenties. It was a swell looking abode.
Sandra took her notes of the robbery at the building and left. She had two hours left on her shift. With under an hour to go, she would be called to a dumpster where a baby was found dead. A teenaged mother, fearful of losing her twenty four year old heroin addict boyfriend, put her newborn baby in a plastic bag and threw the baby in the dumpster behind her building. A homeless man looking for scrap metal and scrap food, found a catatonic new born in a plastic bag. Sandra experienced many heinous things as a Marine and as a police officer, but that one took the cake. Sandra worked an extra four hours. She was the one who had to take into custody the young woman who suffocated her week old child. In the apartment was a small child, watching Miley Cyrus on the Disney Channel, while sitting on a urine stained mattress in a bedroom. Sandra fought hard not to break down and cry. She told herself that it was a job that somebody had to do and it was one that she signed on for and that anything and everything would be possible.
"Hey sweetie… We're going to go for a ride, okay?" Said Sandra.
"I want to finish watching Hannah Montana though," said a cute little girl who was almost seven years old.
"I know honey… But we really need to take a ride now. I promise you'll get to watch your show again soon," said Sandra.
"It's my favorite show… I want to be like her when I grow up," said the small girl.
"Yeah? I think I wanted to be Wonder Woman… We gotta go now."
Life always looks so much better on television.

ANRCETI, the authority that is currently regulating the activity in electronic communications, information technology and postal communications in Moldova, was established on 17 August 2000 under the name National Regulatory Agency in Telecommunications and Informatics (ANRTI). It was created by the Government following the structural reform of the telecommunications sector in the Republic of Moldova. The reform produced institutional separation of policy-making, regulation and operating, in accordance with 1997 Directives of the European Parliament and Council in the field of telecommunications.
By founding ANRTI, the Republic of Moldova met the specific conditions of the Agreement on Republic of Moldova Accession to the World Trade Organization as regards basic telecommunications services and laid the foundation for the liberalization of telecommunications and informatics service market.
In the timeframe 2000 - 2008, ANRTI implemented a series of regulatory measures of fundamental importance for the sector development: implemented the first National Numbering Plan after the Republic of Moldova became an independent state, established the rules and principles for telecommunication networks interconnection, conducted early stages of tariff re-balancing for basic public services provided by the incumbent "Moldtelecom", ensured the conditions for the full liberalization of the telecommunications services market, simplified market entry for alternative operators.
In March 2008, ANRTI was reorganized, according to the Law on Electronic Communications no. 241-XVI of 15.11.2007, in force since 14 March 2008, into the National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology (ANRCETI). The new law, consistent with the provisions of 2002 EU Directives for electronic communications sector, provided ANRCETI new instruments to promote effective competition on the market, protect customers, ensure access to electronic communications networks and associated facilities, implement the general authorization regime for the provision of public electronic communications networks and services.
In April 2016, by the Law on Postal on Postal Communications no. 36 of 17/03/2016, ANRCETI was entrusted with the powers to regulate and supervise the postal market. The new responsibilities comprise the implementation of policy documents in the field of postal communications, of the general authorization regime for postal service provision and universal postal service, the supervision and control over the fulfillment of the obligations imposed on the universal postal service provider and conditions of the general authorization regime.
Also in April 2016, ANRCETI was empowered, by Law on Access to Properties and Shared Use of Infrastructure Associated with Public Electronic Communications networks no. 28 of 10.03.2016, to ensure the compliance with this law by holders of property rights and electronic communications network and/or service providers when obtaining and exercising the right of access on properties and shared use of infrastructure associated with electronic communications networks. The measures ANRCETI takes to implement the provisions of this law are targeted at the development of electronic communications networks nationwide, encouraging the shared use of electronic communications infrastructure, boosting investment in networks and infrastructure, as well as fostering competition between operators in this market.

What happens when we miss out on sleep?
From an Ayurvedic perspective, when we are deprived of sleep we do not produce enough ojas (immunity), the finest product of digestion, that provides energy, enthusiasm, happiness, clarity of thinking, and better coordination between the heart and mind.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, this again, is dependant on the particular "dosha" that is out of balance.
Vata insomnia the problem is, sleeplessness itself increases Vata. This creates a vicious cycle in which Vata keeps you from sleeping, and not sleeping increases Vata.
Sticking to a regular daily schedule ie going to bed, waking up, and eating meals at the same time is imperative for balancing Vata. Foods should be predominately warm, well cooked and substantial. Meditation allows a restless mind to settle down, resulting in relaxation and mental peace. Massaging the feet and head with warm sesame oil will assist to overcome anxiety and stress.
Drinking warm milk with freshly grated nutmeg, or adding a tsp of poppy seeds will have a soothing and relaxing effect. Warmth is comforting to Vata so often a warm hot water bottle on the abdomen soothes and relaxes.
Pitta – often an overactive Pitta needs cooling, so make sure the bedroom is cool and not too hot. Use cotton bedding, keep the bedroom dark, and read inspirational literature a few minutes before sleep. Have a journal by the bed, to "download" some of your thoughts and concerns to still your often racing mind.
Kapha – often for Kapha the problem can be too much sleep. Some people want to sleep 9, 10, or more hours every night. In spite of this, they still feel heavy and sleepy when they get up in the morning and show all signs of lack of sleep such as: yawning all day, feeling like taking an afternoon nap, etc.
The solution to excess sleep is simply to follow a Kapha- pacifying diet and daily routine. Eat a light diet, cut down on sweets, dairy, pasta and other wheat products. Ginger tea throughout the day will help curb the appetite. Avoid napping during the day and get out of bed and exercise before sunrise.

Often we have a lot of ambitions and targets for which we may have stronger desires to achieve them. We start working towards them with a stimulation of motivation but later the tasks are left incomplete. Doesn't it happen?
How about working towards our ambitions by making it a habit?
Habit naturally takes the form of a routine and the targets which earlier were left incomplete could eventually be a success, isn't it?
Yes, making our work and desires the part of our habit and routine will definitely help us keep going!
But additionally, I feel, the habits should be chosen by proper planning. In more simple terms, the habits shall be supportive habits that make us feel effortless and helps us move closer to our goals. Else non-supportive habits may lead to draining out of energy and mere waste of time.
If such supportive habits are adopted, they spontaneously become a part of our daily routine and eventually keeps us going to move closer to our goals!!!
Thereby, only having a strong desire and ambition may not be enough, a little motivation and lots of supportive routine work along the path of our goals will ultimately keep us going until we achieve them…!
