Media Calls the Tea Party Patriots "Seditious"
Image by david_shankbone via Flickr
When Joe Klein of Time magazine was forced to defend his comments about Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck coming "close to being seditious," he backed off—a little. His original statement was made on the NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" on Sunday, April 18th:
I did a little bit of research just before this show—it's on this little napkin here. I looked up the definition of sedition, which is conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state. And a lot of these statements, especially the ones coming from people like Glenn Beck and to a certain extent Sarah Palin, rub right up close to being seditious."
He posted his backpedal on Time's "Swampland" blog: "On the Chris Matthews Show Sunday, I said that some of the right-wing infotainment gasbags—people like Glenn Beck etc. — were nudging up close to the edge of sedition. This has caused a bit of a self-righteous ruckus on the right. Let me be clear: dissent isn't sedition. Questioning an administration's policies isn't sedition…but it is disgraceful and the precise opposite of patriotism in a democracy."
Klein has lots of company in the media who think that the United States is a democracy, not a republic, and that limitations as spelled out in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are "a bunch of baloney," as proclaimed by David Shuster of MSNBC and are erroneously supported by "tenthers," according to Lawrence O'Donnell. But the issue wasn't in doubt when John C. Calhoun, America's 7th Vice President, asked:
…whether ours is a federal or a consolidated government; a constitutional or absolute one; a government resting ultimately on the solid basis of the sovereignty of the States or on the unrestrained will of a majority; a form of government, as in all other unlimited ones, in which injustice, and violence, and force must finally prevail. Let it never be forgotten that, where the majority rules without restriction, the minority is the subject… [emphasis in the original]
One of the most famous and shameful efforts to quell criticism of the federal government occurred just a few years after the Constitution was ratified in 1787. An undeclared war, the "Quasi-War" against France, was being subjected to harsh criticism by knowledgeable and determined constitutionalists, who claimed that such military action was unconstitutional since war hadn't been declared by Congress. When the second President of the United States, John Adams, signed into law the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, Thomas Jefferson was so outraged that he and James Madison wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Those resolutions set the tone of the debate over state sovereignty and federalism for years to come.
The 4 laws that comprised the Alien and Sedition Acts were:
The Naturalization Act, which extended the duration of residence required for aliens to become citizens from 5 years to 14 years. It was repealed in 1802.
The Alien Friends Act, which authorized the President to deport any resident alien considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States." The law expired in June, 1800.
The Alien Enemies Act, authorized the president to apprehend and deport resident aliens if their home countries were at war with the United States. This law remains in effect today.
The Sedition Act, made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials. This law expired on March 3rd, 1801.
The core of the criticism of these laws by Jefferson and Madison was the position that the Constitution was a "compact," holding that the United States was a voluntary union of states that agreed to cede a limited amount of their sovereignty to the federal government, and that consequently, the states could always determine that if that government violated any of those limits, they were free to nullify such violations or, in an extreme case, to withdraw from the union.
Other attempts to infringe on the freedom of speech included the Espionage Act of 1917, which was largely repealed in 1921 while leaving laws against foreign espionage in place. In 1940 the Alien Registration Act, or the "Smith Act," made it illegal to advocate or to teach the desirability of overthrowing the United States Government. The relevant part of the Smith Act states:
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
The Smith Act was used to indict and convict a number of leaders of the Communist Party, but such convictions ended in 1957 when the Supreme Court in a ruling in Yates v United States distinguished between advocacy of an idea and the teaching of that idea as a concept.
When Joe Klein read from his napkin that sedition is a threat against "the authority of the state," author Thomas DiLorenzo asks "Authority to do what?" If the original design of the Constitution has been thwarted, abrogated, twisted, and ignored so that the federal government can do anything it pleases, is that authority legitimate? Says DiLorenzo:
It is the Washington establishment, which includes its media lapdogs like Joe Klein, that is guilty of sedition. The legitimate "authority" of the state is spelled out in the U.S. Constitution. It is the Washington establishment that has abandoned that legitimate authority and granted to itself essentially unlimited powers. Therefore, there can be nothing more patriotic and "American" thanopposing everything the central state proposes doing that would expand its scope and powers in any way. [emphasis in the original]
He then reminds his readers what the Declaration of Independence said about umlimited government: "That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…"
And so, what is the proper adjective to use to describe those in the kept media who raise the spectre of sedition on the part of patriots and Constitutionalists? The proper word is: seditionist!
Bill of Rights Communism Constitutional Crime Declaration of Independence Elite Establishment Federal Government Federalism France Freedom Glenn Beck Military Sarah Palin Sovereignty Supreme Court Tea Party War

Q: Error C2228 In a Simple Counter Program C++ First time here, so forgive me if I'm not entirely following protocol. I will adjust as is necessary. I'm trying to make a simple program that increments (or decrements) through a counter. The counter's functions are through a class, and I'm trying to use the main for testing for functionality. I could very easily be missing something super simple, as is always the case with me, but I can't figure it out so I figured I'd ask here, since I've come here very often finding help easily. I've tried sifting through answers and nothing has been helping so far. Here's the code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class counter
{
public:
    counter();
    counter(int begin, int maximum);
    void increment();
    void decrement();
    int getter();

private:
    int count;
    int max;
};

// Default constructor.
counter::counter()
{
    count = 0;
    max = 17;
}

// Constructor that allows you to put in a starting point for the counter
// and a maximum value for the counter.
counter::counter(int begin, int maximum)
{
    max = maximum;
    if (begin > maximum)
    {
        cout << "You input an invalid value to begin. Set to default.";
        count = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        count = begin;
    }
}

// Increments counter by one. If counter would exceed max, then goes to 0.
void counter::increment()
{
    if (count == max)
    {
        count = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        count++;
    }
}

// Decrements counter by one. If counter we go below 0, then goes to max.
void counter::decrement()
{
    if (count == 0)
    {
        count = max;
    }
    else
    {
        count--;
    }
}

// Getter for counter value.
int counter::getter()
{
    return count;
}

int main()
{
    counter test();

    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
    {
        test.increment();
        cout << test.getter() << "\n";
    }
}

The error that's appearing is:

"dsCh2Exercise.cpp(81): error C2228: left of '.increment' must have
  class/struct/union dsCh2Exercise.cpp(82): error C2228: left of
  '.getter' must have class/struct/union"

Thanks ahead of time for any and all input! It's greatly appreciated!

A: counter test(); declares a function named test that takes no arguments and returns a counter, not a variable named test that contains a counter. Change that line to:
counter test;

Controversy reigns as Hayat declares Sardar Naveed PFA chief
Umaid Wasim Published April 19, 2015
KARACHI: Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) president Faisal Saleh Hayat says the Punjab Football Association (PFA) elections were held on Friday which saw Sardar Naveed Haider Khan elected its president while the rival group claims they were never held.
"Sardar Naveed is the PFA president after the elections were held according to FIFA and AFC statutes," Hayat told Dawn on Saturday as controversy reigned a day after the polls were scheduled to be held.
The supporters of Sardar Naveed's rivals, Rana Ashraf and Arshad Khan Lodhi — both backed by the government, however insisted that no elections took place in which they had the backing of 20 out of 35 district representatives.
"They [PFF] postponed the elections," former PFF secretary Hafiz Salman Butt told Dawn on Saturday.
"They never held them whilst we were there at the PFF House [a controversial venue for the elections of the football association of country's largest province]," added Hafiz Salman, a former Hayat ally who helped the incumbent chief rise to power in 2003.
"We had support of 20 members of the PFA congress and they were all present at the PFF House from 1:30pm-8:00pm (PST) before we were conveyed the message that the elections are not being held — a blatant violation of AFC and FIFA rules."
Hayat, though, was adamant that the elections were indeed held at the PFF House which saw Sardar Naveed being elected with 15 votes in his favour.
"Out of 35 members of the PFA congress, we'd suspended eight of them which means there were 28 eligible voters and out of them, 15 gave their allegiance to Sardar Naveed," he said.
But controversy remains with the PFF informing about the results through a text message at 10:00pm (PST) on Friday — eight hours after the elections were supposed to be held.
Hayat said that was because the PFF House had been occupied with "government goons" while Hafiz Salman said that it was because "40 armed men from Jhang [Hayat's hometown]" had seized control of the auditorium where the election commissioner was also present.
"The government workers had surrounded the PFF House and there was no place for us to get out," Hayat alleged. "They used obscene language and threatened us."
Hafiz Salman, meanwhile, said that the election commissioner — Syed Nayyer Haider, a member of the FIFA and AFC disciplinary committees who happens to be Hayat's brother-in-law — had locked himself in the auditorium and there were 40 of Hayat's guards protecting him.
"They had automatic weapons with them and when one of the voters [from our side] tried to enquire why the elections weren't being held, Hayat and [PFF secretary] Col Ahmed Yar Khan Lodhi used the butt of the guns to beat him up," was Hafiz Salman's view.
"The police also saw the incident but they refused to take action since Hayat used his sources and forced them not to register an FIR against his men."
However, on Hafiz Salman's side is the fact that PFF's election committee secretary Col Farasat Ali Shah seconds his view of Friday's ensuing.
"There was a huge gathering at the PFF House with a fierce competition expected for the PFA polls," Farasat told Dawn on Saturday. "The election commissioner came at 1:30pm but locked himself in the room as he didn't have the guts or the courage to face the people.
"Hayat brought his 40 guards who surrounded the room and didn't let anyone in. I was running from pillar to post with the representatives of Arshad and Ashraf constantly asking me what was going about in my position as secretary of the PFF electoral committee.
"It was at 8:00pm that Hayat told me that the elections have been postponed and that I convey this to them. They had the 20 district presidents with them [an overwhelming majority] and they asked me to accompany them out of the PFF House and give them a notice that they had with them the support of 20 representatives."
"An hour after we left, I was told that Sardar Naveed had been elected the PFA president. I don't understand how they can conduct such elections when I wasn't present there," added Farasat.
"Hayat has deceived FIFA and AFC and his PFF fiefdom is going to come to an end this year. Pakistan football has been suffering for the last 12 years under him."
Farasat, who is also PFF Director Member Associations and Projects, added that he remains an employee of the country's football governing body and has no intention to resign. "I'm still employee of PFF and have no aim of resigning," he said.
Farasat's admission could have a telling impact on what action FIFA decides to take regarding the controversial polls with its member associations accountable to world's football governing body in every action it takes.
Dawn tried to contact FIFA but was unable to receive a comment with its Zurich offices closed for the weekend.
The PFF, meanwhile, was yet to issue a news release regarding the PFA polls till the filing of this report.
"We can't issue it until the election commissioner announces it himself. That will be on Monday," said a PFF spokesperson when pressed by Dawn why the news was being delayed.
Sardar Naveed, meanwhile, said that he was now PFA president.
"I'm the legally-elected PFA president now and if they [rivals] have any reservations, they can take the case to court but they can't take away my right from me," Sardar Naveed told Dawn on Saturday.

Q: Visual studio installer project doesn't run installer class I have an ie extension with two installers, one for 64 bits and one for 32. After days of trial and error with the installer not properly registering the extension, I found out that the 32 bit installer is not running my installer class, while the 64 bits one is.
The settings are strictly the same on both. Specifically, InstallClass is set to true on all custom actions.
I finally discovered that by putting a division by zero on the install method. I get the error on the 64 bits one, but the 32 bit doesn't seem to run the installer. Any clues on the cause for this?
I am using vs 2017 enterprise, on which I had to install an extension for Visual Studio Installer projects. The extension targets Framework 4 Client Profile.

A: I have made the 32 bit installer run the install class, the method was quite simple, but I have no understanding of the cause effect relationship. All I did was removing the dll from the gac (which was added when I registered it manually):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\gacutil.exe" /u "extension.dll"

For some reason, when the assembly was on the gac, the installer wasn't run. I can only guess that a previous version was there, so my exception throwing on the installer was never applied. That would mean that the installer class was indeed run, just not on the dll I was installing at the time, but the one one the gac.

'Illegal Boondoggle': US Government Rebuked for Giving 1,400 Private Companies Access to Dubious Terrorism Watchlist
"We call on congressional leadership to investigate the private sector dissemination of watchlisting information that stigmatizes the innocent and makes none of us safer."
"The indiscriminate dissemination of the watchlist is but the latest indication that the federal government's watchlisting system is an illegal boondoggle," said CAIR litigation director Lena Masri. (Screenshot/The Intercept)
Denouncing the database as "an illegal boondoggle," a civil rights organization on Wednesday is calling for a congressional probe after the FBI admitted it lied for years when it insisted federal authorities do not share the so-called terrorist watchlist with private entities.
In fact, as the Associated Press first reported, the federal government has shared the
controversial Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) with 1,441 private entities including universities, detention facilities, and hospitals.
The list, created in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, may contain as many as a million names and, according to civil rights groups, the names are placed there on dubious grounds.
From AP:
The government's admission comes in a class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in Alexandria by Muslims who say they regularly experience difficulties in travel, financial transactions, and interactions with law enforcement because they have been wrongly added to the list.
Following the challenge brought by the Washington D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga, according to AP, "ordered the government to be more specific about how it disseminates the watchlist" because "the plaintiffs are entitled to the information to try to prove their case that inclusion on the list causes them to suffer 'real world consequences.'" The government responded earlier this month with the list of entities, though it did not say how they then use the TSDB.
"The indiscriminate dissemination of the watchlist is but the latest indication that the federal government's watchlisting system is an illegal boondoggle," said CAIR litigation director Lena Masri in a statement. "We call on congressional leadership to investigate the private sector dissemination of watchlisting information that stigmatizes the innocent and makes none of us safer."

Social data is information that social media users publicly share, which includes metadata such as the user's location, language spoken, biographical data and/or shared links. Social data is valuable to marketers looking for customer insights that may increase sales or, in the case of a political campaign, win votes. There are many types of social data including tweets from Twitter, posts on Facebook, pins on Pinterest, posts on Tumblr, and check-ins on Foursquare and Yelp. Facebook for Business and Twitter Ads are two programs that help advertisers use social data to market to targeted users who are likely to be interested in their ads.
Users voluntarily make much of their social data public, allowing companies free and easy access to it. If a company that sells tickets to athletic events sees that a user follows several sports teams, that company could target ads to that user to try to entice her to buy tickets to see her favorite team play. Another way a company can use social data is to provide timely ads based on recent posts, such as appliance ads for someone who has shared that they are shopping for a home.
With high-quality social data that is aggregated and analyzed correctly, companies can target ads to the people who are most likely to buy their products or services. Social data can also help companies determine the most effective places to advertise. Companies can refine their advertising further by narrowing their target audience by gender, language spoken, electronic device used, age, interests, location and other factors. Social data not only helps companies acquire new customers, it also helps them further engage with existing customers.
There are normally two steps to analyzing social data. The first is collecting the data generated by users on networking sites and then to analyze that data. The process of analyzing typically takes place in real-time — and that is then used to determine influence, reach, relevance and other considerations. Businesses that use this type of data analysis have to keep several things in mind, including how to distinguish between social data and sentiment, time relevance (what's relevant today may not be tomorrow), quality (how impactful certain messages and comments are by specific people), and how viral activity starts and spreads.
Social data is imperfect for several reasons. It is limited to the information that users decide to share about themselves. For example, some users may not share their location or their gender, giving advertisers an incomplete profile to work with. Another problem is that many users on social media are not real users but fake robot, or bot, accounts. Even with real users, attempting to gauge their feelings about a brand or political candidate (called "sentiment analysis") based on the comments they make is not always possible because many of their comments are neutral and algorithms can incorrectly classify comments as positive when they are actually negative and vice versa. Further, many positive and negative comments that are available are extremes, making it difficult to accurately evaluate how consumers overall feel about a product, service, brand or political candidate.
Big data refers to the growth in the volume of structured and unstructured data, the speed at which it is created and collected, and the scope of how many data points are covered.
Behavioral analytics is a sector of data analytics geared toward providing insight into the actions of human beings.

"Every Woman Has Basic Human Rights"
The Circle is empowering women for health, development, education
New Media Fellows 2013
By Bidisha ShonarKoli Mamata
Also published at Bidisha Online
Earlier this year I chaired a panel with Joan Smith, Baroness Helena Kennedyand the novelist Kishwar Desai. We were discussing male sexual violence in India, following the worldwide protests about the rape, torture and murder of a young woman in Delhi. The event, at The Nehru Centre in London, was held to launch Desai's latest novel Sea of Innocence, which tackles the same issue and also provides shocking details of the Delhi case which hadn't previously been revealed in the media. In its ability to combine a strong heroine with a thrilling plot and urgent contemporary issues, Sea of Innocence follows on from Desai's previous novel The Origins of Love, which looked at the Indian international surrogacy trade.
The conversation during the Sea of Innocence launch event was wideranging. We looked at all aspects of global rape culture, which transcends colour, religion, class, language, country, culture and hemisphere: the blaming of victims, the excusal of perpetrators, the prejudice against survivors of sexual violence, the silencing and abusing of survivors who speak out, extreme and perverse leniency towards perpetrators even when they are convicted. Male sexual violence, which is endemic, reflects, partially creates and also reinforces women's inequality, disempowerment and subjugation. This disempowerment is obvious in every area: in the discrimination against us in the workplace; in the exploitation of our labour, which is unpaid, under-paid, under-valued and over-consumed; in the denial of our rights over our own bodies; in the casual and constant judging, slandering, undermining and defamation which constitutes the majority of all comments made to and about women; in the way we are represented in mainstream culture, images, advertising and the media as silent pieces of nice-looking meat, pathetic and useless idiots or bitter, petty, malicious schemers; and in the strong resistance against female education, landholding, powerful visibility, money-making, public involvement, mobility in public spaces (which is delimited by harassment and threat), enfranchisement, leadership, influence, direction and presence. Writing specifically on rape culture, structural misogyny and gender inequality in India, there is a brilliant analysis by Tehelka Media which I urge everyone to read.
As UNIFEM states, "One woman in three will be raped, beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime." Male violence against women is so common that it has been described by the World Health Organisation as being "of epidemic proportions." Read the major, multi-national WHO study into domestic violence and see why they identify it as "a major public health and human rights problem throughout the world."
After the Sea of Innocence panel discussion I was approached by an impressive woman, Santosh Bhanot, who told me that she was involved in a project called The Circle, in affiliation with Oxfam. The Circle aims to address some of the fundamental issues and abuses which keep women worldwide in a state of disempowerment and inhibit our equality and our access to justice, rights and autonomy. Another underlying goal is to lift women out of poverty through gender empowerment.
The issue of poverty, often spoken of in general terms, is starkly gendered. According to Oxfam, "Of the 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty worldwide, more than two thirds are women and girls."
Women and girls are the most disadvantaged of the disadvantaged, the most abused of the abused and the most exploited of the exploited. This has not arisen by some kind of unfortunate, fated magic but directly through the actions of patriarchal systems and many individual but misogynistically and patriarchally like-minded perpetrators, users and exploiters. When we defy all silencing and stigma to speak about what we have undergone we suffer the further grotesque abuse of being blamed for men's abuse of us, told that we deserve it, told that we brought it on ourselves by our own behaviour or told that we are lying out of malice to hurt men. We are then punished further by being slandered, marginalised or ostracised.
As Everjoice Win from ActionAid International, South Africa, states in a report about how helping women and girls is the key to ending poverty, "We believe that women are vulnerable and more impoverished compared to men because they have been systematically made vulnerable by years of violence, patriarchal power and control, as well as decades of inequitable laws and policies deliberately designed to put them in this position."
The Circle was founded in 2008 by Annie Lennox with the aim of connecting high profile, culturally influential women of expertise in various areas. A network of Circles will raise consciousness and money (here's the catch: money for Oxfam) to spend on a range of grassroots projects tackling everything from poverty to education to maternal health. They will also work "to reduce all forms of violence towards women, by helping to change attitudes."
The idea is that the various Circles support specific projects of interest but are all part of the wider Circle ethos of women helping women to change the world for everyone. A group called The Lawyers' Circle supports women's legal rights in Africa; The Music Circle raises money to protect women in the Democratic Republic of Congo; The Oxford Circle is looking at improving health and education in Niger and hopes to engage Oxford University and local city businesses in supporting this aim.
So far, significant money has been raised for a broad range of change-making initiatives. In Zambia the Circle project, working with Oxfam, is helping community schools. These are volunteer-run initiatives which provide vital education for one million Zambian children. However, those involved require more training and resources; the Circle's work in this area benefits 18,000 students in 25 schools and strongly supports the education of girls.
In Pakistan the We Can project is a grassroots initiative aiming to reach 800,000 people in combating "endemic" male violence against women, advocating for it to be reported and investigated and for a social shift which recognises male violence against women as abuse rather than normalising it and blaming victims rather than perpetrators.
The Circle has been working on improving maternal healthcare in Ghana, where 75 women a week die due to complications in pregnancy and childbirth. The focus here is on the provision of free healthcare to reduce maternal mortality. This is an achievable goal: other, non-Oxfam projects worldwide have shown the marked success of dedicated maternal mortality, pre- and ante-natal and newborn health projects. Please see my reports on Sierra Leone and Burundi andIndia for more details.
Two women's co-ops in Liberia have been helped to provide women with tools and training and empower them to bargain for better terms in a country in which, says Oxfam, "80% of ...women are unemployed." One little note to make here to correct that subtle patriarchal diss: these women, I can bet you, are employed. They are totally employed, to the point of exhaustion. They are employed in the never-ending, repetitive, back-breaking, all-consuming drudge labour of looking after the children, serving the men, running a household, cooking, cleaning and everything else - and these are all separate jobs - and their work is used and taken and exploited for free. They are paid nothing for their 24-hours, 7-day-a-week employment and it is callous and disrespectful to say that these same women are "unemployed." It is more accurate to say that they are exploited in an unjust situation. Despite the work they do, they are economically dependent on men and marginalised by them from economic power, political status, public influence and social clout. This exploitation and depletion of energy, financial and legal marginalisation and political discrimination mean that it is difficult for women to fight together for equality, rights and freedom from violence.
The latest addition to the Circle network is The Asian Circle, which works alongside Oxfam in helping South Asian women. It was founded and is chaired by Santosh Bhanot, the woman I met at the Kishwar Desai event. The focus is wide: The Asian Circle will be pulling together high profile women to support projects in agriculture, education, disaster relief and management, poverty reduction and sustainable development.
The Asian Circle was launched at the Houses of Parliament on 7th November 2013 in an event chaired by BBC reporter Ayshea Buksh and featuring speeches by Southall Black Sisters activist and journalist Rahila Gupta (read some of her human rights focused pieces here) and Kishwar Desai.
Santosh Bhanot spoke at the launch of The Asian Circle (see above video).
This week she told me, "Our focus is to work towards change with the skills and talents of ...[the] women who are part of the Asian Circle, a group of passionate and highly influential women from all walks of life. I wanted to help women who have an unfair chance in life and I particularly have passion and energy to work with women in South Asia because of my roots [as a South Asian woman]. Every woman has basic human rights. On my recent visit to India I saw the positive impact of programs by Oxfam working with vulnerable women. For instance, building support centres for women subject to domestic violence and providing mediation and legal support. More programs are needed, especially in the poorer states."
The first programme The Asian Circle is supporting is called "Promoting Violence Free Lives." According to the Indian National Family Health Survey Round III report of 2005-2006 and the Oxfam India 2010 Baseline Survey, the statistics are damning, as are the social values which have been revealed:
- 35% of women suffer sexual or non-sexual violence in India
- 72% of men believe male violence against women is justified
- 68% of women believe that husbands are justified in beating wives
Rahila Gupta welcomes the connection between the feminism, profile and zeal of The Asian Circle and the structural support Oxfam can provide:
"This is the launch of a very important initiative. If my last 24 years with Southall Black Sisters has taught me anything, it is this: funding, funding, funding. The time that we would like to spend delivering frontline services is spent instead on raising funds without which we'd have no money to deliver anything. So it's great that the Asian Circle aims to help Violence Against Women projects in India escape that vicious cycle."
The Asian Circle is focusing on the poorest states with a multi-tiered, thorough strategy: to build support centres in police stations for women who have suffered gendered violence; to engage community elders, young men and boys through educational initiatives to change their attitudes and their behaviour; and to develop networks of women working at a state level to make sure that domestic violence laws are implemented rather than ignored.
Kishwar Desai told me, "As someone who has been trying to raise awareness about some very disturbing gender issues in India for a while now, I am sincerely grateful to see the formation of The Asian Circle. My personal hope? That they will be the catalyst, eventually, for providing an international platform for Asian women, perhaps leading to a women's liberation movement in Asia."

Q: Multiline Header/Footer? Using LaTeX, I'm trying to make a multi-line header (using \markright), and having a somewhat difficult time doing it.
I've tried:

*

*Putting a table within the header using
\markright{\begin{tabular}...\end{tabular}}
This gives me an error: Paragraph ends before \reserved@a was complete.

*Simply inserting the newline with \\
This simplys crams everything on the same line, the exact same was as if  there
were no \\'s
Is there a "proper" way to do this in LaTeX using fancyhdr, or is there some sort of dark magic involved here?

A: Note that \markright has moving arguments, you should use:
\markright{\protect\parbox[b]{2cm}{foo\\bar}}

A \parbox or minipage is OK. But if you want to protect tabular, you can use:
\newcommand\headingtable{%
  \begin{tabular}[b]{l}foo\\bar\end{tabular}}
\markright{\protect\headingtable}

or (with fewer restrictions)
\newsavebox{\headingbox}
\sbox{\headingbox}{%
  \begin{minipage}[b]{5cm}
  foo\par bar
  \end{minipage}}
\markright{\usebox{\headingbox}}

Some of Christine Quinn's Best Friends Are Bike Lanes*
As Bloomberg said, this is the "wave of the future."
At a luncheon hosted by Brian Lehrer, Christine Quinn had a lot to say about bike lanes, perhaps more than she's ever said on any single issue in New York City politics. Via Transportation Nation:
"And one of the problems with bike lanes — and I'm generally a supporter of bike lanes – but one of the problems with bike lanes has been not the concept of them, which I support, but the way the Department of Transportation has implemented them without consultation with communities and community boards."
Emphasis mine. As the inclusive process behind the Prospect Park West bike lane and the tedious and ongoing Columbus Avenue bike lane saga demonstrate, there's a lot of evidence to refute the canard that DOT implements such projects without consultation from "communities and community boards." Perhaps the most powerful comes from Christine Quinn herself at the same luncheon:
"So, for example in Chelsea, the ninth avenue bike lane south of 23rd street was put in place — and the community board four loves the bike lane, LOVES the bike lane, been asking for bike lanes for years and years and year. It was put in on ninth avenue without notification to my office, and I was speaker at the time.
Both of Quinn's sentiments cannot be true. Either the DOT does not consult with community boards or it gets requests from community boards such as CB4 "for years and years." The only thing that seems to be missing, then, is some sort of personal phone call from Janette Sadik-Khan to Quinn herself. But such a petty complaint begs the question: what other changes to neighborhoods and streets require direct notification to the speaker's office? Or is it just bike lanes?
There are other inconsistencies in Quinn's remarks, including the idea that something that enjoys a 66% approval rating is "clearly controversial." Most notably, the speaker delivered her comments in front of an audience of Broadway and tourism officials, all of whom have seen their fortunes increase immeasurably with the Times Square pedestrian plaza and other improvements to the city's streetscape. (Few, if any, tourists staying in Manhattan rent a car to check out the Magnolia Bakery, South Street Seaport, SoHo, or the Metropolitan Museum.) In fact, instead of chuckling when Lehrer asked Quinn to opine "about bike lanes, and pedestrian malls, and all things Bloomberg and Sadik-Khan," the people in the room should have stood up and chanted, "JSK! JSK! JSK!"
Compare the speaker's comments to Bloomberg's opinion that urban amenities such as bike share systems are "the wave of the future," and you can understand why so many people believe the rumors that the mayor wants to handpick his successor.
*If you're late to the "Some of my best friends are bike lanes" party, a primer can be found here.

The community has asked for fixes to the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Houston Street where Jessica Dworkin was killed by a truck in August for quite some time and has received ZERO response from Quinn.

This is so deeply disturbing. If Chris Quinn from Chelsea, Manhattan can't just openly say that she supports livable streets, then who can? I am a life-long Democrat but I truly dread the next Democratic mayor of NYC when it comes to livable streets. It is just staggering the degree to which these candidates have sucked up the misinformation dished out by the tabloids and corrupt sleaze bags like Norman Steisel, Iris Weinshall and Jim Walden of Gibson Dunn. What a wildly successful propaganda campaign these fuckers have run.
brooklynspoke permalink
I think you see how much personal politics plays into this and gets in the way of real change. People just can't get over themselves. Hainline was upset that as a member of her co-op board, she wasn't notified directly about the changes to PPW. Quinn is complaining that her office never got a call, as if some basic awareness about what's going on in community boards in her district is too much to ask of a City Council member.
Makes you thankful for Bloomberg, who doesn't give a shit about this kind of junior high school stuff.

ET permalink
This should be a bigger deal. Quinn told the first real lie of the mayoral campaign.
Sue Griven permalink
I live in Manhattan Community Board 4 district and I'm a Quinn constituent. The bike lanes were shoved down our throats and are poorly implemented. We didn't hear from Quinn or Board 4. our Block Association hasn't heard from Quinn on anything in nearly ten years. I supported her in 1999 when she first ran, but I need to tell the entire city how bad Christine Quinn is. She's corrupt and has the worst character I've ever seen in any politician.
T permalink
Sue, are you a traffic engineer or urban planner? If the bike lanes are poorly implemented, please explain how you would design them instead.
"Shoved down our throats," Sue Griven? Please: Tell us in more detail how this publicly announced, voted-upon design change was "shoved down your throat." If possible, try to use something other than Republican Obamacare talking points to describe your objections to the process and the outcome. As I see it, Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Chelsea used to be one-way highways that shoved loads of motor vehicle traffic through the middle of a great neighborhood, making it intimidating, dangerous and unpleasant to ride a bike, walk across a street or sit at a cafe or park. Explain how the protected bike lanes have made things worse for you.

Ah, the 2000's – a time when the house-pop crossover world was both uniquely UK and also thriving there. Calvin Harris and David Guetta were charting and leading the way in electronic music, and there was a cheekiness to the pop charting tracks that made it obvious we were just touching the surface of the scene when hearing those songs. There was a naïveté, a hope in the music.
Mason came into breakout fame at that time, as well. And with his latest release, "Dance, Shake, Move," he's taken us back to that time. Out now via Loaded Records, he uses the worldly flavor of his style (and the time), creating a groovy crossover track that can't quite be pinned down. Check it out above.

As kids, we were all familiar with the dangers of Artificial Intelligence systems like SkyNet thanks to the super hit movie – Terminator. As AI makes rapid progress in today's world, the fears depicted in the movie brings a very uncomfortable question to the forefront, Can AI destroy us?
While there is no certain answer to that question, in this article, we will try to explain the pros and cons associated with artificial intelligence.
Efficiency: AI-powered tools can make our work more efficient. Repetitive tasks can be done by machines while the tasks that require thinking can be sent to humans. Mundane jobs like answering emails or data entry can be delegated AI assistants, freeing up your time for other activities.
Loss of Control: AI learns while it works and adapts itself to new situations. If they become smarter than humans, they will be hard to control. Keeping aside the typical conspiracy theorists, even top AI researchers are concerned about how to control AI systems.
As an example, AI systems recently developed by Google to conduct auto translations started to talk to each other by creating its own language. No one was able to understand or break the code to figure out what the two AI systems were talking.
AI-powered Facebook algorithm is said to have affected the election results in a big country. Such results give rise to fears about the unintended consequences because of increased dependence on AI tools.
Loss of jobs: While no one will admit it, many jobs may become redundant because of AI technology. Lawyers and accountants have an uneasy feeling that their jobs can easily be done by AI-powered chatbots.
So the fear about AI is real.


If you are searching for the best worktop but you can't afford it, you might want to take a closer look at a quartz worktop. It looks amazing and will most likely last for a long time. Although you can find wood worktops as alternatives, the problem is that they start to peel and chip in the long run. They are also not a good choice when using liquids.
The word quartz came from the word 'hard'. It is also due to the fact that it is one of the hardest minerals found in the world. Of course, diamond is harder, but you definitely can't afford it. Quartz is tough enough that it will surely last for a long time.
There are also a wide range of colours available, from dark black to bright white. Cream, beige and brown are among the most popular options. This means that if you have a specific colour in mind to blend with the other items in your kitchen such as the tables, chairs and cabinets, it will be easier for you to make a final decision.
It is also possible that small pieces of quartz are crushed and mixed with other agents and resin. Once it is done, it can create different effects that make the overall result more amazing. Even if it is not pure quartz, you are still guaranteed that it will last for a long time. For instance, you can have one with glass or metal flecks. This creates an almost translucent effect on the surface of the quartz, making it even prettier.
Given all these features, you can safely say that quartz is perfect if you want something that looks unique, brilliant and attractive, without sacrificing durability. Since you might save money by buying a quartz worktop, you could use the savings to buy some other items for your kitchen.
If you want the best quartz worktops London offers, check out the available options online. The items will be delivered straight to you. Don't worry that you have not touched the worktop. If you choose the right store that sells high-quality worktops, even if you have not seen or touched it physically, it will still be the best. Just make sure that you have measured the area where it is to be placed. Otherwise, it might not fit in.
A lot of people are choosing a quartz worktop due to the benefits that they can get from it. Think really hard so you will not regret your decision. Any other worktop option might be good, but you need to find one that is affordable and totally worth the price.


Eyebrow bleach can be used to lighten dark eyebrows.
Bleach is a general term for any product that can permanently lighten the color of hair. Many people have their head hair bleached or highlighted, but eyebrow bleaching is another option. This procedure involves applying bleach to the eyebrows to lighten them, either to match a new hair color or to give the face a different look. Risks of eyebrow bleach include potential damage to eyesight or to skin as bleach requires chemical ingredients that are strong enough to alter the components of hair.
Eyebrows frame the face and are also used for communication purposes. Altering the eyebrow shape can dramatically change somebody's appearance and even change the natural expression of the face. Women and sometimes men pluck, wax, or thread the eyebrows to affect this change. The color of the brows, however, also plays a role, as dark brows can create a stronger impression than lighter brows.
Dark head hair is easily bleached or highlighted to a lighter shade. If the new blonde hair clashes with existing dark eyebrows, then the person may wish to lighten the eyebrows to match. People may simply want to reduce the impact of dark brows, and eyebrow bleach can be used to make a fashion statement.
An unusual look can be achieved if the eyebrow bleach turns the brows unnaturally light or almost unnoticeable. This alters the expression and look of the face and is attention grabbing. The need to tidy up stray hairs can also be reduced as they are bleached to an unobtrusive color.
Typically, bleach contains some form of strong chemical, such as hydrogen peroxide, which react to biological molecules and, in this case, destroy the color pigments in the eyebrow hairs. A side effect of the strength of the chemical is that it can also adversely alter skin or other parts of the body, like the eyes. For this reason, eyebrow bleach is tightly regulated in many countries, and home bleaching is not recommended. Blindness, skin irritation, or allergic reactions are possible, and eyelashes should never be bleached. Beauty salons may offer the treatment at reasonable prices that can help reduce the risk of the bleaching going wrong.
Beauticians paint the bleach on the brows and leave it for a specified amount of time, depending on the product's instructions. This can vary from one minute to 15. The longer the product is left on, the lighter the hair will become, but too long an exposure can damage the skin and hair. After an eyebrow bleach, the effects last six weeks or less until the hair regrows in its natural color.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has been given the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour, with his French counterpart calling him "the most French of American officials".
At a ceremony in Paris on Saturday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault also said the top US diplomat was a "tireless champion of peace".
"Francophone, Francophile, you are certainly the most French of American officials" Ayrault said.
Kerry's French heritage and fondness for the country saw him attacked on the presidential campaign trail in 2004, when he was the Democratic candidate running against Republican George W Bush.
Tensions were running high between Paris and Washington over the Iraq war, to the extent that America's beloved junk food, French Fries, were briefly renamed Freedom Fries, Ayrault said.
Kerry's mother and aunt were born in Paris in the early 1920s and America's top diplomat spent holidays as a young man at the family residence in Saint-Brignac-sur-Mer, in Brittany.
Ayrault paid tribute to the "sincerity" of Kerry's political and diplomatic engagement, citing his contributions as secretary of state to the historic 2015 climate change agreement, the Iran nuclear deal and the struggle to bring the war in Syria to an end.
"You are a tireless champion of peace," he added.
A visibly moved Kerry said France was America's "oldest ally".
"Long live French fries! Long live France! Long live the USA!" Kerry said in French.


Bettcher wins Fall Championship at Regatta Bay!
It was a great week for Jared Bettcher in Destin. The annual Fall Championship Pro Am always starts with a one day event before the Championship for the pros that come in early for the event. This year Bettcher was a co champion with Will Dottley as they both shot 69 at Santa Rosa Beach Club. Bettcher. It was his first victory on the tour. His second victory would be at Regatta Bay in the Emerald Coast Tour Fall Championship Pro Am. Bettcher had a first round 71 and was four back of the leader Jack Tucker who had a 67. The second day the weather was much tougher as there was some very cold and windy conditions. As most scores were going up, Bettcher fired a 65 which was the round of the weekend considering the weather. His 65 put him in the lead going in the final round by one stroke over Nick Rousey who had 69-68-137.
The final round got very interesting as 4 players got in the hunt on the backside. Bettcher shot 34 on the front and Rousey had a 33 as they were now tied. Jacob Harper was mounting a charge of his own as he shot a 31 on the front and was now one back. Going into 17 Rousey and Bettcher were tied and Harper was two behind. Rousey made birdie to take a one shot lead heading into the final hole. On the final hole they all hit good drives. Harper laid up on the par 5 but Bettcher and Rousey went for the green in two. Bettcher hit it in the greenside bunker but it was buried and made a par. Rousey hit it in the water twice and ended up with a 8. This would give Bettcher the victory and his first Fall Championship. He would finish at 204 and collect $800 for the win. Henry Westmoreland who is a amateur would finish at 205 after a final round 65. He is a just finishing school at West Florida University.

An interview with Sister Supporter
Photo: Sister Supporter
Written on 28th November 2018 . Posted in Features
Outside abortion clinics across Britain, the pavement is a battlefield for issues surrounding the pro-choice movement.
As women attempt to access their legal rights, they are met with pro-life intimidation and religious vigils. A clinic on a quiet side street in Fallowfield is one of those targeted.
Establishing a stark counter-presence are Sister Supporter, a group of volunteers of all ages and professions who wear pink high-visibility vests, offering non-judgemental protection.
Eabha Doherty is a founding member of the group, which began in Manchester almost a year ago. It was a result of a workshop that the Ealing branch of Sister Supporter gave, in preparation for the anti-abortion, "40 Days for For Life" campaign which involves a period of sustained pressure by pro-lifers.
The Ealing branch had been campaigning for a buffer zone surrounding a local Marie Stopes clinic. They successfully achieved a harassment-free safe zone around the clinic in April, subsequently ending 23 years of intimidation.
Abortion was legalised in the UK 50 years ago, yet the conversation is as prevalent as ever. Ireland voted to lift a ban this year, but abortion remains illegal in Northern Ireland. In America there have been attempts to destabilise Roe Vs Wade – a 1970s Supreme Court ruling that said a pregnant woman had a constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy.
Sister Supporter says protestors are outside Marie Stopes' Fallowfield clinic every Saturday, and sometimes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, targeting the clinic's staff and users.
Eabha says: "Some of the staff have been working there for over 15 years, they've told us stories of what they've experienced… they understand and are happy that we are there, making their lives a little easier and defusing the situation outside."
Sister Supporter's role is shielding women from anti-abortion lobbies, and offering a protective escort for those who might otherwise be deterred from entering the clinic.
Signs are held stating "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and "fake news" leaflets are distributed claiming abortion leads to breast cancer. Protestors hand out grotesque model foetuses to women. "It's very emotionally manipulative," says Eabha.
In recent years, America's influence has become apparent, particularly with "pavement counselling". Eabha says there have been signs advertising "pregnancy hotlines" at the Ealing clinic. "I actually looked it up, it's unfounded… its not an official counselling service… there's a lot of unregulated therapists out there, it's dangerous."
Some of these pavement counsellors were offering financial aid to women, and proposing "safe houses," where they would ostensibly help support the woman and her child.
During "40 Days for Life", Sister Supporter volunteers dedicated themselves to unremitting counter-presence.
Amongst the usual anti-abortion tactics, lies were circulated by protesters, one claimed on social media to have "saved 30 babies" in a single day.
"We are up against fiction," says Eabha. "We don't have an issue with people being religious, we have an issue with people trying to prevent women exercising their right to choose, and accessing legal health care."
She emphasises that Sister Supporter are not anti-religion, nor necessarily pro-abortion, they are pro-choice and carry the all-important task of enabling women to access their reproductive rights.
The support they receive from those using the clinic, their family members, and the local community, highlights just how imperative and vital the group's work is. Although Eabha stresses that continuous counter-presence is, "not an ideal solution, no one should have to be there."
Following the success of Ealing, the Manchester branch is working tirelessly to achieve similar safe-zone legislation. There is currently a petition which has reached almost 2,000 signatures.
Much of Sister Supporters campaigning involves raising wider awareness but Home Secretary Sajid Javid's recent rejection of a nationwide buffer zone was a significant blow for local and national hopes for safe-zones.
Eabha says it was hugely disappointing: "There was a lot of evidence that claimed a buffer zone was needed, they really haven't seen it with their own eyes."
A large part of the process for securing legislation is collecting evidence and personal testimony to recognise the trauma experience as a result of anti-abortion lobbying. The difficulty lies in the fact that the problem in Manchester is largely hidden due to the tucked away location of the Fallowfield Marie Stopes clinic.
Eabha says: "There's not a lot of footfall there, and we've had to bring it to the attention of politicians who don't necessarily know its happening."
Despite the disappointment surrounding national legislation, Eabha maintains they will get it eventually. "It's in the hands of people like us to make sure change happens." Eabha is Irish, and notes with optimism how the Irish government are already considering safe zones when tackling abortion legislation. "They are almost going to be one step ahead of the UK!" she says.
The Manchester clinic is a gateway location and is used by women travelling from Ireland. "It's awful that you could travel so far to access a legal service, and someone could stand in your way and tell you that you're a sinner," says Eabha.
Manchester City Council has voted to look into the problem, and with more petition signatures and exposure, a buffer zone in Manchester is looking promising — yet most likely still a couple of years away. In the meantime, Eabha and Sister Supporter will continue to offer their crucial pink counter presence in Manchester and across the UK in their battle for national legislation and the protection of women's legal health care rights.
