Lecture Review – "19th Century New Jersey Photographers" by Gary D. Saretzky
The Historical Society of Moorestown's members kept Gary D. Saretzky in "continuous focus" this April 4th. He delivered a "RAW" lecture on the Garden State's first photographers. Mr. Saretzky opted to "focus" his comments on those who lived in Burlington County in the nineteenth century. The audience listened with rapt attention, making no "noise." The New Jersey Council for the Humanities sponsored this event. The Moorestown Library hosted.
According to his website, Mr. Saretzsky describes himself as an: "Achivist * Photographer * Educator." He first took an interest in photography in 1972. Five years later, he accepted a position teaching photography at Mercer County College. Mr. Saretzky also exhibits his own photographic work. In recent years, he's concentrated his work on blues musicians.
Mr. Saretzky currently serves as the Chief Archivist of Monmouth County. He's also a professional photographer. He melded these two interests and became a historian of photography; a topic upon which he frequently lectures. I attended one titled "19th Century New Jersey Photographers: Burlington County."
The speaker knew his subject matter. He began his remarks with the very advent of photography. He talked about how a French photographer, Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre, developed the first photographs in 1839. The resulting product, the "daguerreotype", bore his name. Seth Boyden, Sr. made the first such photos in New Jersey during the same year.
The following decades saw many innovations in the photographic process. The man who invented the Dixon Pencil contributed to advancements in the photographic field as well. Joseph Dixon helped develop the Collodion Process. It led to glass plate negatives, ambrotypes and tintypes.
The cartes-de-visite photograph became popular in the 1850s. These photos were printed on paper as opposed to the copper plates of the daguerreotypes. They were also more common. During the 1860s, the abundance of carte-de-viste photo albums led to the standardization of photo sizes.
Photographers who took cartes-de-visite photos placed their names on the backs of them. During the daguerreotype era, most didn't identify themselves on their work. For that reason, many early picture takers remain unknown.
Photography was not a popular profession through the late 19th century. Mr. Saretzky reported that in 1870 only 149 photographers lived in New Jersey. In 1900 approximately 700 people worked in the field. 22 per cent of these were German immigrants.
A photographer needed 7,000 customers in order to earn a living. To supplement their incomes, many found employment in a range of other fields. Many worked as jewelers or performed watch repairs. Mount Holly's Benjamin F. Lee served as Sheriff of Burlington County for a time. New Egypt resident Edward Blake pursued a career path on the other side of the law. As a result of that endeavor, he received a ten year sentence for counterfeiting. The speaker didn't say whether or not authorities allowed Mr. Blake to take his own mugshot.
Between 1842 and 1900 about 100 active photographers resided in Burlington County. Riverton's Bertha M. Lothrup was one of the earliest users of flash photography. Mount Holly's Peter Walker added coloring to a photo the speaker displayed. He did so in order to match the print on the back. Another Mount Holly denizen, James R. Applegate claimed to be the biggest producer of tintypes in the United States. He also developed photo improvements, patented a new type of merry-go-round featuring mirrors and built a pier in Atlantic City.
At the conclusion of his prepared remarks, the speaker took questions from the audience. Someone asked the one most people inquire about: "Why did so few people smile in old photographs?" While nobody has ever provided a definitive answer, the speaker shared a few theories.
In most portrait paintings, the subject didn't smile. People adopted the same posture during the early days of photography. They did so in order to appear serious and dignified.
The standards of 19th century dentistry weren't the same as those of the modern era. Most people either had bad teeth or no teeth.
The final potential explanation came from the photographic process. Exposures could take several minutes. It was difficult to hold a smile for that period of time.
When the lecture reached its "resolution" the "time lapse" during this event made me "shutter." During my "post processing" of his speech, the "depth of field" Mr. Saretzky covered amazed me. While I reflected on the speech's "afterimage" I couldn't think of any "blown highlights", either. What a "positive" event.

Edmonton Oilers' Colby Cave dies aged 25 after brain bleed | Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton Oilers forward Colby Cave has died after suffering a brain bleed earlier this week. He was 25.
The NHL club confirmed Cave's death on Saturday with a statement from his family: "Our Colby was loved dearly by us, his family and friends, the entire hockey community, and many more. We thank everyone for their prayers during this difficult time."
Cave underwent emergency surgery on Tuesday to remove a cyst that was causing pressure on his brain. Cave's agent, Jason Davidson, said that his client's condition did not appear to be linked to Covid-19.
On Wednesday, Cave's wife, Emily, posted an update about her husband. "We need a miracle," she wrote on Instagram. "Colby's parents and myself, got to see him through a window and talk to him with a walkie talkie last night. We are no longer allowed to be in the hospital because Covid-19 rules. We have no idea when we will be allowed to see him again.
"The nurse has tied his wedding band to his ankle. I am dreaming of being able to touch you, hear your voice, squeeze your hand (3 times), and kiss you again. I love you so much, and my heart is shattered into a million pieces without my best friend."
Cave scored once in 11 appearances with Edmonton this season. The Oilers posted Cave's goal, an impressive rush down the right wing that saw him beat a Pittsburgh defender and stuff the puck past Penguins netminder Matt Murray, on Twitter this week. "Colby is an awesome person who scored an awesome goal for us this season," the team said.
Cave played five seasons with the Western Hockey League's Swift Current Broncos, where he saw time as captain, before joining the Boston Bruins' organization for the 2014-15 season after going undrafted. The Oilers claimed Cave off waivers in January 2019. Cave had four goals and five assists over 67 NHL games with Boston and Edmonton.

Founded by KICKS/HI in 2005, Saint Alfred has been the beating heart of Chicago's evolving street-style scene for over a decade, its Wicker Park home becoming the go-to destination for sneakers and streetwear in the Windy City. In 2016, Saint Alfred collaborated on a refined iteration of the adidas Gazelle. Its clean, monochrome appearance belied a host of functional considerations, from water-resistant suede uppers to a GORE-TEX lining and reinforced gusset on the tongue.
Two years later, Saint Alfred bring this same attention to detail – and affection for aesthetically-pleasing functionality – to a very different adidas model. The Temper Run first appeared in 2014. Four years on, the shoe comes to the Consortium range for the first time. The layered construction and use of Adiprene cushioning nod to the running inspiration behind the original model. Saint Alfred take this further by channeling numerous reference points from the fall season color palette, to the active-wear reflective panels, gum outsole, ballistic mesh and suede overlay uppers. As much as the Saint Alfred Temper Run feels particularly suited to today's sneaker trends, the considered approach to materials, colours and functionality simultaneously affirm the Temper Run's timeless qualities.
Saint Alfred used the Chicago wilderness to pull color pantones and used the adidas archive 1990's era outdoors-wear for material inspiration. To reflect this in campaign visuals, Saint Alfred worked with artist Stephen Eichhorn, who creates intricately detailed collages of new micro-ecosystems. Using collected historical botany textbooks and publications, Eichhorn painstakingly cuts out and layers plant parts and minerals to wood panel, brass, and other materials, often to profound and mesmerizing effect.

Showdown: Scorpion [PC – Cancelled]
Showdown: Scorpion is a cancelled FPS in development around 2005 by B-Cool Interactive, planned to be published by Akella for PC in 2007. It was set in a cyberpunk future (the music you can hear in one of the trailers is from Ghost in the Shell), where you could use guns, technology and even paranormal skills to fight your way against sci-fi soldiers and zombie-alike monsters.
IGN played the game at E3 2007:
"Tucked away on the E3 showroom floor was Scorpion: Showdown, a first-person shooter from Akella. Set in the 2040s, this game puts you behind the sights of about 15 weapons and sets you lose on a land filled with bats, zombies, beasts and soldiers. You'll get updates on the mission from a woman named Anna, but other than her, you're on your own.
We got to take Scorpion through a flooded warehouse today, and as we ducked beneath scaffolding and blasted man-eating zombies, it was clear Akella was going for a jump-out -and-scare-you feel. Filled with dark corners and creepy monsters, there were plenty of opportunities to crap your pants, but you could always arm your night-vision goggles or flashlight."
.. and also GameSpot were able to play the same demo:
"Showdown: Scorpion seems to be a fairly straight-ahead shooter. There are supposedly two methods to the madness here: Either you can proceed stealthily and attack your enemies with silenced weapons, or you can go to town with a number of modern and futuristic weapons if you wish to just blow some stuff up.
The weapons here are, at least in the section that we saw, a fairly normal group of pistols and machine guns, including a slightly advanced model of the venerable AK assault rifle family. There are going to be some wackier weapons on hand, though, such as the quote-unquote "gravity gun," which shoots out a ball of gravity that violently repels anyone near the center of the explosion away from it. In addition, the genetic experimentation that was performed on you will let you enter a bullet-time state to slow down your enemies, a la Max Payne, or even in some cases psychically dominate your enemies and force them to fight for you."
This was meant to be B-Cool's first project, but it seems it was too much for a small team. In the end Showdown: Scorpion was cancelled. Some models were later reused for Scorpion: Disfigured, which was a different game despite a similar title and look. B-Cool was closed in 2009, with many more canned projects such as a "Scorpion" sequel, "Metro-3" (third game in The Stalin Subway series for Buka) and "La Guerilla 2040".
Thanks to Dan for the contribution!

Raging Bull (1980) is one of the masterpieces of Scorsese for numerous reasons, other than the direction and Robert De Niro's performance itself. The mutually reinforcing cinematography, especially in the fight sequences and the final scene, and the spectacular editing match the intensity of this film, that hits hard and right on the spot. In the final scene of the movie, the slightly overweight Jake La Motta (Niro) is sitting in his dressing room staring at his mirror, regretting his past, enters a monologue. Mirror! Monologue! Niro! Scorsese! Does it remind of something?
Scorsese, uses the famous conversation from On The Waterfront (1954) where Marlon Brando regrets his spoilt career. Here, Jake La Motta, speaks of all his mistakes that have brought sorrow to himself and those around him, quotes those lines. Scorsese does not involve verbalization or melodrama as most directors would be tempted to employ. Rather Scorsese simply asks his character to repeat the famous lines and leaves the rest to the viewer to interpret- a scene that fits brilliantly with the character of La Motta.
Kool.. You hve gud movie taste !

Its distribution includes east Asia, Europe, and eastern North America, extending south into Mexico and Central America. A mycorrhizal species, it grows in deciduous and coniferous woodland, often fruiting under beech and oak. Its fruit bodies have convex to flat caps that are some shade of brown, buff, or tan, and typically measure up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter. The pore surface is initially white before turning pinkish with age. Like most boletes it lacks a ring, and it may be distinguished from Boletus edulis and other similar species by its unusual pink pores and the prominent dark brown netlike pattern on its stalk.
French mycologist Pierre Bulliard described this species as Boletus felleus in 1788 before it was transferred into the new genus Tylopilus. It is the type species of Tylopilus, and the only member of the genus found in Europe. Tylopilus felleus has been the subject of research into bioactive compounds that have been tested for antitumour and antibiotic properties. Although not poisonous, it is generally considered inedible due to its overwhelming bitterness.
The species was first described in the scientific literature as le bolet chicotin (Boletus felleus) by French mycologist Pierre Bulliard in 1788. As the large genus Boletus was carved up into smaller genera, Petter Karsten transferred it in 1881 to Tylopilus, a genus diagnosed by its pink spores and adnate tubes. T. felleus is the type species of Tylopilus, and the only member of the genus found in Europe. Synonyms include Boletus alutarius, described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1815 and later by Friedrich Wilhelm Gottlieb Rostkovius in 1844, and Paul Christoph Hennings's subsequent transfer of Fries's taxon into Tylopilus, T. alutarius. Lucien Quélet placed the taxon in Dictyopus in 1886 and then Rhodoporus in 1888, but neither of these genera are recognised today, the former having been merged into Boletus and the latter into Tylopilus. Genetic analysis published in 2013 shows that T. felleus and many (but not all) other members of Tylopilus form a Tylopilus clade within a larger group informally called anaxoboletus in the Boletineae. Other clades in the group include the porcini and Strobilomyces clades, as well as three other groups composed of members of various genera including Xerocomus, Xerocomellus and Boletus badius and relatives.
A variety described from the Great Lakes region, var. uliginosus, was recognised by Alexander H. Smith and Harry D. Thiers in 1971 on the basis of its microscopic features, a distinction supported by Professor C.B. Wolfe of Pennsylvania State University. However, Index Fungorum does not consider this an independent taxon. Similarly, Boletus felleus var. minor, published originally by William Chambers Coker and A.H. Beers in 1943 (later transferred to Tylopilus by Albert Pilát and Aurel Dermek in 1974), has been folded into synonymy with T. felleus. Charles Horton Peck described Boletus felleus var. obesus in 1889, but no record of a type specimen exists. Although some records exist of T. felleus in Australia, their spores are of consistently smaller dimensions and this taxon has been classified as a separate species, T. brevisporus.
Tylopilus felleus derives its genus name from the Greek tylos "bump" and pilos "hat", and its specific name from the Latin fel meaning "bile" referring to its bitter taste, similar to bile. The mushroom is commonly known as the "bitter bolete" or the "bitter tylopilus".
The tubes, initially white when young, become dirty pink in maturity.
Coarse brown reticulation is characteristic of the stalk surface.
The cap of this species grows up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, though some North American specimens reach 30 cm (12 in) across. Grey-yellow to pale- or walnut-brown, it is slightly downy at first and later becomes smooth with a matte lustre. It is initially convex before flattening out with maturity. The cap skin does not peel away from the flesh. The pores underneath are white at first and become pinkish with maturity. They are adnate to the stalk and bulge downwards as the mushroom ages. The pores bruise carmine or brownish, often developing rusty-brown spots with age, and number about one or two per millimetre. The tubes are long relative to the size of the cap, measuring 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) deep in the middle part of the cap. The stalk is initially bulbous before stretching and thinning in the upper part; the lower part of the stalk remains swollen, sometimes shrinking at the base where it attaches to the substrate. It measures 7–10 cm (2.8–3.9 in)—rarely to 20 cm (7.9 in)—tall, and 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) wide, and can bulge out to 6 cm (2.4 in) across at the base. It is lighter in colour than the cap, and covered with a coarse brown network of markings, which have been likened to fishnet stockings in appearance. Described as "very appetising" in appearance, the flesh is white or creamy, and pink beneath the cap cuticle; the flesh can also develop pinkish tones where it has been cut. It has a slight smell, which has been described as pleasant, as well as faintly unpleasant. The flesh is softer than that of other boletes, and tends to become more spongy as the mushroom matures. Insects rarely infest this species.
The colour of the spore print is brownish, with pink, reddish, or rosy tints. Spores are somewhat fuse-shaped, smooth, and measure 11–17 by 3–5 µm. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are club-shaped, four-spored, and measure 18–25.6 by 7.0–10.2 µm. Cystidia on the walls of the tubes (pleurocystidia) are fuse-shaped with a central swelling, thin-walled, and have granular contents. They possess sharp to tapered tips, and have overall dimensions of 36–44 by 8.0–11.0 µm. On the pore edges, the cheilocystidia are similar in shape to the pleurocystidia, measuring 24.8–44.0 by 7.3–11.0 µm. The hymenium of Smith and Thiers's variety uliginosus, when mounted in Melzer's reagent, shows reddish globules of pigment measuring 2–8 µm that appear in the hyphae and throughout the hymenium, and a large (8–12 µm) globule in the pleurocystidia.
Several chemical tests have been documented that can help confirm the identify of this species. On the cap flesh, application of formaldehyde turns the tissue pinkish, iron salts result in a colour change to greyish-green, aniline causes a lavender to reddish-brown colour, and phenol a purplish pink to reddish brown. On the cap cuticle, nitric acid causes an orange-salmon colour, sulphuric acid creates orange-red, ammonia usually makes brown, and a potassium hydroxide solution usually makes orange.
Italian cook and author Antonio Carluccio reports this is one of the most common fungi brought to him to identify, having been mistaken for an edible species. Young specimens can be confused with many edible boletes, though as the pores become more pink the species becomes easier to identify. Some guidebooks advocate tasting the flesh, the smallest piece of which will be very bitter. The dark-on-light reticulation in the stalk is distinctive, and is the opposite colouration of that on the stalk of the prized Boletus edulis. T. felleus is found in the same habitat as B. badius, though the latter's yellow tubes and blue-bruising flesh easily distinguish it. B. subtomentosus can have a similar-coloured cap, but its yellow pores and slender stalk aid identification.
Tylopilus rubrobrunneus, found in hardwood forests of eastern North America, is similar in appearance to T. felleus, but has a purplish to purple-brown cap. It is also inedible due to its bitter taste. Another North American species, T. variobrunneus, has a cap that is reddish-brown to chestnut-brown, with olive tones in youth. It has shorter spores than T. felleus, typically measuring 9–13 by 3–4.5 μm. In the field, it can be distinguished from the latter species by its mild to slightly bitter taste. T. rhoadsiae, found in the southeastern United States, has a lighter-coloured cap that is smaller, up to 9 cm (3.5 in) in diameter. The edible T. indecisus and T. ferrugineus can be confused with T. felleus, but have less reticulated stalks. The dimensions of the spores of the Australian species T. brevisporus range from 9.2 to 10.5 by 3.5 to 3.9 μm. T. neofelleus, limited in distribution to deciduous forests of China, New Guinea, Japan, and Taiwan, can be distinguished from T. felleus macroscopically by its vinaceous-brown cap and pinkish-brown to vinaceous stalk, and microscopically by its smaller spores (measuring 11–14 by 4–5 μm) and longer pleurocystidia (49–107 by 14–24 μm).
In maturity, the pores often bruise brownish, while the pore surface bulges downward.
Like all Tylopilus species, T. felleus is mycorrhizal. It is found in deciduous and coniferous woodland, often under beech and oak in well-drained acid soils, which can be sandy, gravelly or peaty. If encountered on calcareous (chalky) soil, it will be in moist areas that have become waterlogged and have ample leaf litter. Fruit bodies grow singly or in small groups, and occasionally in small clusters with two or three joined at the base of the stem. Fruit bodies have also been growing in the cavities of old trees, on old conifer stumps, or on buried rotten wood. The fungus obtains most of its nitrogen requirements from amino acids derived from the breakdown of proteins, although a lesser amount is obtained from the amino sugar glucosamine (a breakdown product of chitin, a major component of fungal cell walls). The mycorrhizal plant partner benefits from the fungus's ability to use these forms of nitrogen, which are often abundant in the forest floor. Fruit bodies appear over summer and autumn, anytime from June to October or even November, in many of the northern temperate zones. Large numbers may appear in some years, and none in others, generally proportional to the amount of rainfall. Variety uliginosus, known from Michigan, grows among lichens and mosses under pines.
In North America, it is known from eastern Canada, south to Florida and west to Minnesota in the United States, and into Mexico and Central America. Its European distribution is widespread; it is relatively common in many regions, but rare or almost absent in others. In Asia, it has been recorded from the vicinity of Dashkin in the Astore District of northern Pakistan, and as far east as China, where it has been recorded from Hebei, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and Sichuan provinces, and Korea.
The strong taste of the fruit body may have some role in insects avoiding it. The small fly species Megaselia pygmaeoides feeds on and infests the fruit bodies of T. felleus in North America, though it seems to prefer other boletes in Europe. Fruit bodies can be parasitized by the mould Sepedonium ampullosporum. Infection results in necrosis of the mushroom tissue, and a yellow colour caused by the formation of large amounts of pigmented aleurioconidia (single-celled conidia produced by extrusion from the conidiophores).
The bacterium Paenibacillus tylopili has been isolated from the mycorrhizosphere of T. felleus; this is the region around its subterranean hyphae where nutrients released from the fungus affect the activity of the microbial population in the soil. The bacterium excretes enzymes that allow it to break down the biomolecule chitin.
Fruit bodies of T. felleus have a high capacity to accumulate radioactive caesium (137Cs) from contaminated soil, a characteristic attributed to the deep soil penetration achieved by the mycelium. In contrast, the species has a limited capacity to accumulate the radioactive isotope 210Po.
Even when cooking, it smells terrific, but one taste of the Bitter Bolete would not only disappoint but perhaps depress the novice mushroom hunter.
As its common name suggests, it is extremely bitter, though not toxic as such. This bitterness is worsened by cooking. One specimen can foul the taste of a whole meal prepared with mushrooms. Despite this, it is sold in local markets (tianguis) in Mexico. A local recipe from France, Romania and East Germany calls for stewing it in skimmed milk after which it can be eaten, or powdered and used for flavouring. The mushroom is not bitter for those who lack genetic sensitivity to bitter taste, a trait endowed by the gene TAS2R38 (taste receptor 2 member 38). The compound responsible for the bitter taste has not been identified.
The mycelium of Tylopilus felleus can be grown in axenic culture, on agar containing growth medium. The fungus can form fruit bodies if the temperature is suitable, and the light conditions simulate a 12-hour day. The mushrooms are usually deformed, often lacking stalks so that the cap grows directly on the surface, and the caps are usually 0.5–1.0 cm (0.2–0.4 in) in diameter. There are few Boletaceae species known to fruit in culture, as ectomycorrhizal fungi tend to not fruit when separated from their host plant.
Compounds from T. felleus have been extracted and researched for potential medical uses. Tylopilan is a beta-glucan that was isolated from the fruit bodies in 1988 and shown in laboratory tests to have cytotoxic properties and to stimulate non-specific immunological response. In particular, it enhances phagocytosis, the process by which macrophages and granulocytes engulf and digest foreign bacteria. In experiments on mice with tumour cells, it appeared to have antitumour effects when administered in combination with a preparation of Propionibacterium acnes in a 1994 Polish study. Researchers in 2004 reported that extracts of the fruit body inhibit the enzyme pancreatic lipase; it was the second most inhibitory of 100 mushrooms they tested. A compound present in the mushroom, N-γ-glutamyl boletine, has mild antibacterial activity.

Who is Sanjay Nishad, whose Nishad party defeated Yogi in his fortress
Sanjay, who is telling Narakad to the Gorakhpith, is among those few people, who have been telling the `organized gang` of torture of Hindu Yuva Vahini, Muslims, Dalits, extreme backward and atrocities against Nizhad while living in Gorakhpur. .
During an election meeting, Dr. Sanjay Nishad, National President of Nishad Party (Photo Credit: Facebook / Nishad Party)
In the Lok Sabha by-election, the most talked about person is being discussed by the SP for defeating the fort of Uttar Pradesh`s Yogi Adityanath, National President of Nishad Party Dr. Sanjay Kumar Nishad
Four years ago, only a few people or those working in the Nishad community were aware about Sanjay Nishad, but today he is being marked as a man who wished the story of BJP`s defeat on the unseen seat of Yogi Adityanath.
Who is Sanjay Nishad? What do you do? When and why did he create the Nishad party? What is their politics? These are questions that all want to know.
Sanjay Nishad, who formed the Nishad party in 2013, used to run his electro homeopathy clinic on Geeta Vatika Road in Gorakhpur till about a decade ago.
In this medical method, it is believed that there is a disease inhibition of lymph and blood system, which can be treated with medicines made from microorganisms or minerals obtained from plants.
Dr. Sanjay struggled to get the clinic running as well as to get recognition for electro homeopathy. In 2002, he formed the Purvanchal Medical Electro Homeopathy Association. He became its president. He also went to the Supreme Court to get recognition to this mode.
He has been active for two decades in politics. He first joined Bamcef. He has also contested elections from the CampingGanj assembly but he did not get success.
After that, he got involved with his caste politics. In 2008, he formed two organizations named All India Backward and Minority Welfare Mission and Shakti Mukti Mahasangram.
He formed the National Nishad Integration Council before the Nishad Party and as a national president, he tried to unite different sub-castes of Nishad.
They started the campaign of `bringing the 553 castes of fisherman community on one platform`. He told the Nishad that society would benefit from incorporating all synonymous castes of the Nishad dynasty community into a Scheduled Caste, considered one.
Nishad is also included in the Scheduled castes in 14 states of the country. In Uttar Pradesh, the seven synoptic species of Nishad dynasty - Manjwar, Gaur, Tuhaw, Khorat, Khawar, Beldar, Koli are included in Scheduled Castes but other sub castes have been kept in OBC.
According to him, all the castes of Nishad ethnic society are constitutionally in Scheduled Caste, there is a need to define this thing which has not been done so far.
He told Nishad his political power and asked him to be organized in a party instead of going from one party to another.

They say that Nishad is 17 percent in UP and is in an impressive position in 152 assembly seats. If we are united we can not ignore anyone.
Dr. Sanjay came to the headlines for the first time when he jammed the railway track on June 7, 2015 demanding that the Nishads be included in scheduled castes near Kasrawal village of Sehjnova area adjacent to Gorakhpur.
There were hundreds of people with them in the Nishad community, in which the large number of youth was. Apart from this, all the youths were from western Uttar Pradesh, besides the Purvanchal.
When the police tried to remove them, there was a violent clash. In the police firing, a young man named Akhilesh Nishad was killed. The mob broke into several vehicles and handed it over to the fire.
At that time the Samajwadi party was the government. The Akhilesh government cracked down on this incident and registered a case against three dozen people including Sanjay Nishad.
Dr. Sanjay got underground but other people were arrested and jailed. Later he surrendered and released on bail.
He got a lot of discussion from this incident. He used this fame to strengthen the Nishad party. Village-village formed the organization of Nishad Party.
Women and youth were specially added. The identity of the Maroon hat and the flag party was made. The workers were given regular training and they were told about the history of `Nishad`, `Nishad culture` and `Nishad civilization`.
Sanjay himself has written a book `History of Nishad`. His second book, `Who is the real owner of India`.
In the history of Nishad, he writes- The history of Nishad is very old. Nishad is mentioned in the world`s oldest Rig Veda. Nayashad is mentioned many times in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The word Nishad has come in the first verse written by Maharishi Valmiki. Maharishi Ved Vyas, the creator of Mahabharata, was also a great Maharishi Nishad. In the Mahabharata, many epics have been written on Nal-Damayanti, the son of king Veersen of Nishad.
Dr. Sanjay writes, "He is presenting the history of Nishad, so that by remembering the past, presently organize them and bring them into a strong class, which can lead to order and political change."

He says that the history of Nishad is the essence of the entire world history. History of Nishad is not a history of any caste. History of Nishad is a history of human beings. The history of Nishad is the history of the other culture when humans had learned to live in a permanent home. History of Nishad is the early history of our civilization. He also says that the producer of Indus civilization was `Adya Nishad`. The Primitive Agni Vaniishi Nishad is the true tribal tribe of India`s year.
He wrote in `Who is the real owner of India` that there were many Raja-Maharajs in the Nishad dynasty We belong to the Dynasty total. The magnificent fort of our Maharaja Guharraj Nishad is present in Rengverpur, Allahabad. During the Buddha period, the capital of the Kolyas-Nishad is Ramgram (currently Ramgarh in Gorakhpur) and Gorakhnath Temple of Machhendranath (Matsyendranath), Gorakhpur.
He said in this book - Nishad has invented the method of cultivating the zum system by making a spade and a stick and digging it out.
According to Dr. Sanjay, Nishad has never done slavery and did not accept the principle of Manusmriti. They remained in the form of the fifth character Nishad. Nishad gave martyrdom while fighting the British. It is notable that the names of Tilka Manjhi, Siddhun Mera, Zuri Bind, Mauku and Bhima Kevat, Lakshmi Bai`s artillery, Shankar, Bhavani, Jubba Sahni, Mati Kashim, Avanti Bai Lodhi, Solution Nishad, Lohna Nishad, Mahadev Kevat, Neves Kumar Manjhi etc. .
According to him, due to taking iron from the British, the Criminal Tibs Act 1871 imposed on Nishaad and tortured them. For this reason, Nishad people in different parts of the country were separated in different states by the name of different sub castes.
The full name of the Nishad party, `Our party is Nirabal Indian-exploited`. Since no political party can be registered with the caste, the name of the party was kept as `Nirbhal Indian-exploited Our General Party`, whose abbreviation `NISHAD` i.e. `Nishad`.
In this way, they named it after thinking about the identity of the caste, and this name was also popular among the people.
The Nishad party performed its first public performance in Gorakhpur in July 2016. In Bihar assembly elections, BJP had appointed Mukesh Sahni as a star campaigner to win the votes of Nishad.
Mukesh Sahni is from Bihar`s Darbhanga and is associated with the business of designing sets of films in Mumbai. He is the president of the Nishad Vikas Sangh and writes `Sun of the Mallah` in front of his name.
They announced the support of the BJP in Bihar elections. The BJP gave the status of star campaigner and in the name of the newspapers, very advertisements were given, which said that `there is a big battle ahead, there is good in the NDA`.
Addressing workers during a program Dr. Sanjay Nishad (File photo: Manoj Singh)
He was with Nitish Kumar before joining the BJP. In spite of campaigning by them, the BJP is badly beaten in Bihar. However, he said that due to him, 7 percent of Bihar`s Nishad dynastic society had voted for the BJP, but due to the unity of Nitish and Lalu, Yadav, Muslim and Koiriy-Kurmi got united and came in government with 41 percent votes.
Prior to the 2017 assembly elections, Mukesh Sahni came to Uttar Pradesh. He started taking the chariot journeys to set up National Fisheries Commission and demand for the inclusion of Manjhi, Mallah, Keval and his synonymous castes in the scheduled castes.
They camped in Gorakhpur to make penetration in Nishad society. He also convened a conference on World Fisherman Day on July 10, 2016, in the Nishad temple of Gorakhpur, to set up a statue of former MP, Phoolan Devi.
This initiative of Mukesh Sahni did not like local Nishad leaders, it was also discussed that he was doing all this for connecting the Nishad for the BJP. The Nishad party talked to him about the opportunity and said that he will establish a statue of Phoolan Devi together.
After this, it was decided that on July 25, on the martyrdom day of Phoolan Devi, his 30 feet high statue was installed in Bighagarh. This giant statue was made by Mukesh Sahni from Mumbai. On this day also a huge rally was announced in Champa Devi Park.
But the district administration did not allow the statue to be installed by speaking of not being allowed. The statue was not established but on July 25, 2016, Nishad Party, National Nishad Ekta Parishad and National Nishad Vikas Sangha organized a big rally in Champa Devi Park on the banks of Ramgarh.
More than 25 thousand people gathered in the rally. The whole ground was covered with a hat with a cap and the flag and became resonant with the slogan of `Jai Nishad Raj`. After the administration seized the statue, Phulan Devi was given a huge cut of Flex at the rally venue.
The rally was raised by the crowd Nishad party. In this rally, SP, BSP and BJP were accused of distributing Nishad society.
There were only a few supporters of Mukesh Sahni in the rally. Mukesh Sahni became airy after this rally and today very few people know about him as to what he is doing. In this rally, Nishad party started friendship with Dr. Ayub`s Peace Party.
The statue of former MP Phoolan Devi has not been established till now, but the Nishad party has gone a long way. The statue of Phoolan Devi is still kept in front of a house along the roadside near Bighagarh.
In the elections of 2017, the Nishad party combine with the Peace Party and contested 72 seats. Nishad party could win only one seat, Gyanpur. Bahubali leader Vijay Mishra won here but after winning, he did not see Nishad with the party. Now he has gone near the BJP.
Nishad party got total 5,40,539 votes in the assembly elections. He got more than ten thousand votes in many seats - Paniera, Campierganj, Sahajanova, Khajani, Tamkihiraj, Bhadohi, Chandauli.
Dr. Sanjay Kumar Nishad contested from Gorakhpur Rural seat but lost by 34,869 votes. He did not win this election but in the recently held by-election, the SP made his son Pravin Nishad an MP by contesting the election.
In the assembly elections, he had taken a helicopter for rent and for several days he used to go to the election meetings with helicopters. In these meetings, Sanjay Nishad was specifically mentioned to get out on the helicopter.
After winning the by-elections in Gorakhpur Lok Sabha, son of Dr. Sanjay Nishad and Praveen Kumar Nishad (Photo: PTI)
His meetings were recorded with a drone camera and he was put on social media.
By the Assembly elections in 2017, he used to attack the BJP along with the BSP as well, but now he is saying that he has put his son Pravin Nishad in the lap of SP. The party will use whatever they want.
On the other hand, SP President and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is telling Nishad the younger brother of SP. Obviously, while the Nishad Party maintains its independent status, it wants to maintain the coalition in the coming elections with the SP.
After forming a party, Sanjay took out his two sons from the job and put them in the party`s work. His son Pravin Nishad, MP from Gorakhpur, was working as a production engineer in a private company in Bhiwadi in Rajasthan from 2009 to 2013 after doing B.Tech in 2008. He also associated the younger son Shravan Nishad with the party. Their son and daughter are far from politics.
Sanjay has always been very aggressive against the RSS, the BJP and the Hindu Youth Corps. He called the RSS and Hindu Youth Vahini a "pro-social organization" and then the BJP was called `Bharat Jalao Party`.
While he is in Gorakhpur, he is among those few people who dared to use strict words for the Hindu Youth Corps.
During a press conference in 2017, he called the `organized gang` that oppressed the Hindu Youth Corps and tortured Muslims, dalits, extreme backward and despot.
He has always been telling Gorakhpith`s Gorakspeeth to Nikhad. He says that the `Gorkhakshit` was founded by Maharaja Matsyendra Nath, born in the Ghising family of Nishad dynasty, which was later captured by the Manuites.
In a program of Nishad party, Dr. Sanjay Nishad (Photo Credit: Facebook / Nishad Party)
He describes Dalits, backward castes, including Nishad as the native inhabitants of India, and say that the conspiracy and mentality of the original inhabitants of India to maintain their generations of slaves is only Manuandu.
Sanjay is always seen in rallies and assemblies wearing coat-tie and presenting him in a special way and presenting him as a messiah of Nishad society. His supporters have started addressing him as `Mahamana`.
Party workers and supporters run dozens of Whatsapp groups on social media. The website and YouTube channel are run by the Eklavya Human Message News, on which the news of Nishad society and Sanjay Nishad`s message are broadcasted.
Singer Durga Julimi Nishad has written and sung all songs for the Nishad party. One of them - Dr. Sanjay will sit in the heart of Nishad, now his party will win the Nishad ...
Who is Son of Mallah-Mukesh Sahani
The popularity of Mukesh Sahni, popularly known as Bollywood`s famous set designer, has garnered rapidly in recent times. During the 2015 assembly elections, he was a star campaigner of the NDA and is currently a part of the UPA.

History of Nishad
Nishadraj is the nickname of King of Nishad. He was the Maharaja of Rengoverpur Prayagraj Allahabad , his name was Maharaj Ghuharaj Nishad . They belonged to Bhoi Mallah Nishad Society. And during the exile only, Ram , Sita and Lakshman had crossed t


The easiest way I know to get to elevation in Northwest Oregon is to drive to Timberline Lodge. The second easiest way is to hike to McIntyre Ridge or Wildcat Mountain from the west. The access road is paved until the very end, and you get a three thousand foot elevation headstart on most trails in the area. The area used to be more popular with dirt bikers and target shooters, but access and the rules have changed. It is less noisy than fifteen years ago, but target shooters still find spots to practice their skills. The start of the trail winds around an old quarry-like area, the far side of which drops off into a canyon for great views.
The trail climbs briefly, then levels off at a spectacular promontory with views over the Eagle Creek drainage–unrelated to the more famous Eagle Creek in the Columbia Gorge. After a mile of casual uphill walking, there is an unsigned junction. Most people head left here, the way to the unassuming but beautiful high point along McIntyre Ridge. I found a few other hikers out there taking in the pretty forest and the view so the always dramatic Mount Hood. A man sat on the bench installed there years ago as a tribute to two men who loved the area. I wandered around the ridge for a while, then turned back. I had more destinations in mind. At the junction, I headed left, or the other way, on the Douglas trail. The trail soon heads up through some switchbacks. At the high point, there is another unsigned trail to Wildcat Mountain itself. This is another modest peak with almost no views, but I scaled it anyway.
The peak is anticlimactic. Views can only be had by peering through trees. The best part of the hike, however, was yet to come. I remember continuing east on the trail more than a decade earlier in connecting to Huckleberry Mountain. There is a spot on the narrow ridge I wanted to find. I dropped back down to the Douglas Trail, and fifteen minutes later, I emerged on the open rocky ridge. Clouds had started to move in, but I could still see Mounts Hood, Adams, and Jefferson as well as many foothill peaks and the Eagle Creek and Boulder Creek valleys. It's a gorgeous green spot in all directions, and not a soul in sight. Just my kind of place. I sat there for a while contemplating the state of the natural world and then hiked back to my car, more than satisfied.
On Sunday, I visited an elderly friend in my former hometown near Mount Hood. We enjoyed a delectable meal at the Resort at the Mountain, which offers some of the finest restaurant views I've ever seen. Some people sat out on the large patio. Even inside, there is a view over the golf course towards massive forested ridges which define the green Salmon River valley. Not bad. After our meal, we drove to the Lost Creek Campground. This is often less crowded than other campsites in the region, and it also offers a short nature trail with interpretive signs. Part of the path is paved, although the massive firs and cedars in the area have buckled some of the pavement.
The so called beaver pond, where, ironically, the view is now towards many alders that would have pleased the beavers.
It was fascinating to once again realize the power of volcanic eruptions and how it shaped the landscape. Volcanic mudflows emanating from Mount Hood in the 18th century changed the floor of the area ecosystem and preserved stumps of old trees right in the creek bed. What a wild world. At the end of the path, we sat on a bench in front an old beaver pond. The beavers have vanished in recent years, ostensibly to find better trees to eat. I hadn't been to Lost Creek in at least four or five years. It's a gorgeous, peaceful place to spend an afternoon with an old friend.
Here's a little view into the gorgeous forest on the west side of Mount Hood where I took a walk with my wife recently along the Zigzag River. We started out on the Pioneer Bridle Trail and then veered off on an unofficial spur that cuts back along the riverbank. The path is overgrown in spots, but that made it more adventurous.
For some reason I found myself poring over old photos tonight. Flashback to two summers ago. I hiked up the Salmon River Trail with my friend Steve, who toted his infant daughter on his back. There are couple great lookout points on the trail including this one. After hiking a bit over an hour to get there, we sat and enjoyed the views and each other's company. Glorious day.
The section of the Pioneer Bridle Trail north of Highway 26 (between Rhododendron and Government Camp, Oregon) has a vastly different feel than the one I wrote of a week ago. Like the other section, it receives little traffic, but this area is much hillier and has denser woods. There are few obvious destinations beside an old mineshaft, but there is nice second growth forest, and on a gray day, this is still a worthy area for a hike. Yesterday I began hiking at the east end of Road 39, which locals call Kiwanis Camp Road, although a start at the west end of the road, right where the trail crosses the highway, gives a better workout.
When I arrive with Niko at the trailhead, I spy a photographer setting up a shot alongside the stream, presumably looking at the colorful leaves. I almost talk to her, but I don't have a leash for Niko, so I think better of it and move on, across the water, onto an old road. A couple hundred yards uphill, the road peters out and the bridle trail cuts beneath it. I peel off and head west toward the mine.
The underpass at the beginning of the trail.
The walking is always pleasant. One unique aspect of this area is the signage of the actual Barlow Road. History buffs have flagged spots where they have seen evidence for the old wagon road, and there are a couple wooden signs if you know where to look.
The mineshaft is a gaping maw straight down. Fencing is there to keep the clueless from hurting themselves. If you really want to check out an old mine, head up the Bonanza Trail ten minutes away, south of Welches.
Don't trip! Old mineshaft along the trail.
Beyond the mine, the trail dips slightly, crossing a nice mossy rockslide capped by cliffs. The top of the cliffs are an easy scramble, but I remain on the trail this time. There is no view to be had today.
Further on, the trail gets into denser, darker woods, with plenty of Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars, along with Vine Maples in the open areas.
I reach a saddle and bushwhack to a favorite secret open spot above the trail. I call it Baker's Bump. It must look nondescript from afar, but there are terrific views in multiple directions. Today, with the low clouds, the view calls to mind the Smokies or the Misty Mountains of Tolkein fame. It is a perfect topper to the walk.
A misty mountain view works for Niko as he sniffs around.
I return the way I came and consider visiting the third and final section of the trail next week, headed up toward the town of Government Camp.
Green, green,everywhere I see. Trailside retaining wall.
Snow cloaks Mount Hood now; it could be a much more serious endeavor. I could use such a more adventurous hike, so stay tuned!


The Austrian health care system is not equipped to deal with people who are seriously ill or dying.
This shortfall is the reason for the hospice-movement, which has its roots in England at the end of the 1960's. Hospices are equipped for very sick people. They seek to help and relive the suffering of people with physical or mental difficulties, and to give them a new lease of life. The first Hospice to have been established by the Austrian Red Cross is the "Helga Treichl Hospice".

The Impact of NOAA's Height Modernization Program
Published on 18 June 2020 by Jonathan Crowe
The New York Times (Jonathan Corum), based on NOAA and NGS data
Last month the New York Times covered a subject that you'd expect to be too technical for the general reader: NOAA's efforts to recalibrate elevation data as part of its update to the National Spatial Reference System, expected in 2022 or 2023. The height modernization program corrects local elevation data—which was last updated in 1988—by using GPS and gravity mapping. The Times article looks at the real-world implications of this effort, which will have the greatest impact the further west and north you go (see map above), from bragging rights about mountain elevation to whether your community is in a floodplain.

Inside NOAA During Trump's Sharpie Mapmaking Period
Published on 14 November 2019 by Jonathan Crowe
Remember the nuttery surrounding President Trump, his erroneous warning that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama, and his Sharpie-adjusted hurricane map? That was two whole months ago. It all put NOAA and the National Weather Service in an awkward spot. Mother Jones put in a Freedom of Information Act request for their internal emails and found out just how uncomfortable things were inside NOAA during that period.

'A Defilement of a Sacred Trust'
Published on 18 September 2019 by Jonathan Crowe
I hadn't planned on posting anything about Trump's Sharpie-adjusted hurricane forecast map: there was nothing useful for me to add to the discussion, and presumably you'd all heard about it already and didn't need me to tell you. But it turns out something map-related can, and has, been said about the issue.
Charles Blow was once in charge of the New York Times graphics department, and an art director at National Geographic. His response to Trump's marked-up map was "visceral":
Because of this unyielding commitment to accuracy, I believe cartography enjoys an enviable position of credibility and confidence among the people who see it. If you see it mapped, you believe.
That is precisely what you want the case to be, particularly in natural disasters. This cartography should be devoid of any attempt to deceive. Its only agenda should be to inform and enlighten.
That's what made Trump's marked-on map such a blasphemy: It attacked, on a fundamental level, truth, science and public trust. It wasn't just a defacement of a public document, it was a defilement of a sacred trust.
Blow's reaction is predicated in the notion that maps can't lie, or at least don't, or at least shouldn't. Enter Mark Monmonier, the author of How to Lie with Maps (reviewed here), who was interviewed by CityLab about this kerfuffle. Even Monmonier, who has no illusions about maps' claims to accuracy and objectivity, and who literally wrote the book on how hazard mapping can be misleading, seems to be sputtering:
Usually, attempts to falsify tend to happen before maps are published, and don't try to contradict established scientific facts. You can put a spin on something by influencing the appearance of a map before it's published. You can put a spin on things by determining what is and is not going to be mapped. Something that might put your administration in an unfavorable view, for example: Those maps won't be part of the plan. […]
But the Trump map is unusual. I cannot find anything truly comparable. We had a map that was already out there that he actually mutilated, and in a very obvious way. This guy shows absolutely no subtlety at all. And then people try to make excuses for him. I have never seen anything like this.
Trump's little stunt has revealed something very interesting about how we see maps.

NOAA's White Christmas
Published on 13 December 2016 by Jonathan Crowe
NOAA maps the probability of a white Christmas across the lower 48 states: the interactive version includes clickable locations.
While the map shows the historical probability that a snow depth of at least one inch will be observed on December 25, the actual conditions in any year may vary widely from these because the weather patterns present will determine the snow on the ground or snowfall on Christmas day. These probabilities are useful as a guide only to show where snow on the ground is more likely.
While the subject may seem whimsical, it's based on 1981-2010 Climate Normals data; this paper details into the methodology involved. (It also answers a question that climatologists and meterologists get a lot.)

One of the most common conversations I end up having with someone's diet revolves around protein.
Some will have no idea what protein is. Others will know what it is but unsure how much they need . And others may weigh every ounce and obsess over meal timing.
A 20-25g serving of protein at each meal will really boost your results.


As part of its commitment to provide its technical staff continued training opportunities to increase their knowledge and enhance their formal qualifications, Sliema Wanderers Football Nursery recently organised a pre-season seminar to its staff coaches. This seminar was held in preparation for the forthcoming football training season.
Head Coach Claude Chetcuti and Assistant Head Coach Martin Sacco facilitated the seminar which focused on the curriculum and detailed plans for each age group with particular emphasis on the importance of small-sided 4vs4 games.
The seminar was also addressed by Ms Pamela Muscat from the ADHD – Family Support Group. She stressed the importance that coaches are better aware of children suffering from this condition and how they could be an asset to the team. She also identified ways of how to handle children with ADHD.
The nursery is accepting new entrants for the new training season which is due to start for all age groups on Saturday 22nd September. For further information one may visit the website www.sliemawfn.com , send an email to swfcnursery@gmail.com or join us on Facebook 'Sliema Wanderers FC Nursery'.


we aint talking about illegal aliens!!!!
dammm, you guys just dont get it.
NO! The only people who have earned the right to vote in political elections here in the USA are US citizens-------------even green card holders do not qualify let alone illegal aliens.
we'll have to wait and see about that. i would have no problem with these people voting for issues that affec them and their families. i.e. school board, county tax hikes. municipal stuff.
You are entitled to your opinion, fortunately the law disagrees with you.
My post also stated that green card holders (legal aliens) do not qualify to vote-------the right to vote is reserved for US citizens, period.
I do have a problem in what you just stated. The vote should only be for US citizens here in th United States of America.
Voting rights are for US citizens. period. If a legal resident wants the privilege they need only fulfill the requirements to gain citizenship and then they do will be allowed to vote.
Would these "non-citizens" also be here illegally?
Benicar, I haven't read the article yet so I appologize if I dicuss something that is already adressed.
First of all, no one should be allowed to vote unless they are citizens of the US. By saying non citizens, I don't think they were referring to illegals. It could mean legal residents.
Either way, we should not allow this to happen.
