At the directors meeting several decisions were made and/or recommendations prepared.
assign the decision for March to someone at the February meeting. I see a trend here to get people more involved.
Art started the breakfast series and Mary Gorenz is starting the recipe series.
At the directors meeting we also reviewed the budget preliminary estimates, the tour options, and monthly program potentials. Frankly, we did not get as far as we wanted to so there is another Directors meeting scheduled for February 11th at the Jacksons and everyone is invited.
I am looking forward to the February meeting program. Eli will tell us about his pickup restoration. In addition to some pictures of his truck, work in progress, I hope he brings some good questions for the group. This seems a good way to get a newer member information and to introduce us to his project. A strong feature of this club is the benefit of each other's knowledge brought and shared at each meeting.
I suspect you all saw the email where the National Club cancelled the cross country tour which would have brought the 1951 Ford Dearborn winner through Albuquerque. Guess that means we will all need to drive to Thousand Oaks for the fall meet to see the car. So far Bob, Jeff, and Jay are strong potential tourers for this event. How many more can we get from our club????

Bettina Riddle (February 14, 1874 – January 26, 1957), also known as Betsey Riddle, and later as Baroness von Hutten, was an American-born novelist, specializing in historical fiction. As an American in England during World War I, she was arrested and fined as an enemy alien, because she had a German ex-husband.

Early life and family
Elizabeth Riddle was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, the daughter of John Simms Riddle, a lawyer and state legislator, and Kate Howard Riddle. Her grandfather was Congressman William Alanson Howard, and her brother was a medical writer, Hugh Howard Riddle. Bettina's grandmother Mary Dickinson Riddle was a cousin of artist Mary Cassatt. Among her uncles were ambassadors Thomas A. Scott and Thomas J. O'Brien.

She called herself "Pam" for a time, after the most popular of her fiction-characters, and kept a pet monkey like the fictional Pam. In 1910 she tried acting.

Personal life
She married Friedrich Karl August, the Baron von Hutten zum Stolzenberg, in 1897, in Florence. They had two children, Karl (1898-1971) and Katharina (1902-1975).  They divorced "by mutual consent" in 1909, amidst rumors of her infatuation with Italian tenor Francesco Guardabassi.

She soon had two more children with actor Henry Ainley, actor Richard Ainley (1910-1967) and Henrietta Riddle (b. 1913). Henrietta was briefly engaged to Alistair Cooke in 1932.

Bettina von Hutten lived in England but wintered in Rome. During World War I she lived under travel restrictions as an "enemy alien" in England, because of her German ex-husband. She was arrested and fined for breaking these restrictions. In 1921 she was badly injured in a car accident near Danzig; in 1925, she was in bankruptcy. She regained her American citizenship in 1938, and lived in California during World War II. She converted to Roman Catholicism late in life, and died in 1957, in London, aged 83 years.

Her granddaughter Katrine von Hutten (1944-2013) was a German writer and translator.

Miss Carmichael's Conscience (1898)
Marr'd in Making (1900)

Last week we brought you some information regarding the artichoke, which is actually a thistle. This week we look at tomatoes, which are actually a berry. Tomatoes are cheaper then they've been for a while this week. We recently purchased a whole box for a few dollars. When you do spot bargains like this it's good to know how to make the most of a glut and store these for leaner more expensive times of the year. You can freeze whole tomatoes by 1) washing them; 2) Remove stem sacrs; 3) place tomatoes in a single layer on baking sheets so they don't touch; 4) let them freeze until solid (1-3 hours depending on size of fruit); 5) Remove them from freezer and quickly transfer to containers and seal. Ensure you label and date your produce. To use them: remove from freezer as many as wanted. You can also peel them now if wanted by running under tepid water.
Another great way to enjoy your tomatoes long after the crop has come in is to make them into a relish. The recipe below is a standard one used by countrywomen throughout Australia for several generations now.
Cut tomatoes and onions into thin slices, sprinkle in a large bowl with the salt and leave for at least 12 hours, or overnight. Drain off liquid and place tomatoes and onions in large pan. Add the vinegar and boil for 5 minutes. Mix curry, mustard and pepper with the extra vinegar and add to the pan. Boil for 45 minutes, then add the sugar and boil for another 45 minutes. Bottle and seal relish while hot. Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate once opened. Keeps for 12 months, but can be used as soon as it's made.
The word "tomato" may refer to the plant (Solanum lycopersicum) or the edible, typically red, fruit that it bears. Having originated in America, the tomato was spread around the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas, and its many varieties are now widely grown, often in greenhouses in cooler climates. The original tomato, in the wilderness of the highland of Peru, was a herbaceous plant (non woody, herb like);bearing small green fruit. The word tomato derives from the Nahuatl word tomatl, meaning swelling fruit. The tomato is a fruit, more precisely a berry. It belongs to the Solanaceae family, with deadly nightshade, potatoes and eggplants. The word Solanum originates from Latin solamen meaning to solace or comfort and lycopersicum literally means wolf peach. This stems from German myths in which werewolves were said to be summoned using deadly nightshade, a plant whose flowers closely resemble those of tomatoes.
Mesoamerica: Aztecs and other peoples in Mesoamerica used the fruit in their cooking. The exact date of domestication is unknown: by 500 BCE, it was already being cultivated in southern Mexico and probably other areas. The large, lumpy tomato, a mutation from a smoother, smaller fruit, originated in Mesoamerica, and may be the direct ancestor of some modern cultivated tomatoes.
Nutrition: Tomatoes are now eaten freely throughout the world, and their consumption is believed to benefit the heart, among other organs. They contain the carotene lycopene, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. In some studies, lycopene, especially in cooked tomatoes, has been found to help prevent prostate cancer, but other research contradicts this claim. Lycopene has also been shown to improve the skin's ability to protect against harmful UV rays. A study done by researchers at Manchester and Newcastle universities revealed that tomato can protect against sunburn and help keeping the skin looking youthful. Natural genetic variation in tomatoes and their wild relatives has given a genetic plethora of genes that produce lycopene, carotene, anthocyanin, and other antioxidants.

The Auschwitz Foundation – Remembrance of Auschwitz participates and actively supports the "Special Committee for Remembrance Education".
For many teachers it has become difficult, with such a wide variety of remembrance education tools available, to develop a quality presentation in class. The Flemish Minister of Education therefore decided to provide funds to establish a project to help teachers, and in 2008, the BCH (Bijzonder Comité voor Herinneringseducatie), the "Special Committee for Remembrance Education", was created.
The goals of the BCH are twofold, focused on transparency and support.
First, the BCH wants to encourage greater transparency in the supply of remembrance education through a user-friendly website and database. This database contains all Belgian memorial education sites and projects in the broad sense. The database can be consulted via a search function on the website, allowing teachers and pupils to easily find what they are seeking in the various offerings.
Second, the BCH wants to support teachers by providing them with advice about useful approaches to remembrance education. Since 2010, remembrance education has been included in cross-curricular diploma studies in Flanders, and is therefore not a question exclusively for history teachers. The BCH seeks be a sort of think tank, offering practical advice and examples of good practice to help teachers without an academic background in history.
The Special Committee for Remembrance Education (BCH), which exists only in Flanders, brings the four Flanders school networks together with educational experts of six representative institutions that present the "offer" of memory education in Flanders. The Kazerne Dossin is responsible for the coordination of the BCH.
The Special Committee for Remembrance Education has developed a "touchstone for quality remembrance education" that offers advice and suggestions for remembrance education projects. It has been adapted as an online tool, "Start to Remember".
"Start to Remember" has been accessible on the BCH website since January 17, 2013. It is presented in the form of a multiple-choice test. At the end of the test, a report is produced with suggestions for implementing a teaching project.
If you have already started a project on remembrance education or if you have plans to do so, then let yourself be inspired by this test (which is only available in Dutch for the moment).
As it does every year, the BCH (Special Committee for Remembrance Education) is organizing an education day/forum on remembrance on March 25, 2014. This year the theme focuses on "opposing voices".
In the morning, several speakers will address "opposing voices" during historic conflicts.
In the afternoon, we will focus on contemporary forms of protest and resistance.
We will organize six workshops to address questions such as: How can we resist discriminatory situations? How do we treat "opposing voices" in contemporary society? Should we all go back into the streets?

Enrollment Preferences Bill Released From Committee But Newark Charter School Exclusion Remains Controversial
House Substitute 1 for House Bill 85 was released from the Delaware House Education Committee today. There are very serious concerns due to a "compromise" brought forth by the Delaware Charter Schools Network. The bone of contention surrounds the Christina School District and Newark Charter School. Since a portion of Christina exists in Wilmington, those students would not be considered in the enrollment preference which includes all students in a choice school's district. The line of thinking appears to be the district section of Wilmington is not connected to the rest of the district. However, those who oppose this section of the bill feel it is a barrier for Wilmington students who are part of the Christina School District.
Today, State Rep. John Kowalko is bringing forth an amendment but no one on the committee knew specifically what the amendment was. State Rep. Kim Williams, the primary sponsor of the bill, stated she assumes it would be to remove lines 7-9 of the bill which would give Newark Charter School their Wilmington exclusion. Williams said she would not support the amendment because she gave her word to Senator David Sokola. This, apparently, was an addition to the bill from Senator Sokola which caused the House Substitute bill from the original House Bill 85. State Rep. Joe Miro said he would not support the bill if the amendment passed.
State Rep. Sean Matthews said he is in support of the bill but does not feel the bill serves all students in the Christina School District. He felt the bill does not allow for Wilmington students to go to Newark Charter School and the exclusion for NCS was put in so it can pass the Delaware Senate.
If Newark Charter School is so good, they should take all students. -State Rep. Sean Matthews
State Rep. Deb Heffernan agreed with Matthews. The bill was released with 11 votes in favor of the bill.
Delaware Secretary of Education Dr. Susan Bunting said the Delaware Department of Education is taking a neutral stance on the bill. Donna Johnson, the Executive Director of the State Board of Education, said former State Board member R.L. Hughes was on the Enrollment Preferences Task Force and voted in favor of removing the 5-mile radius. Kristin Dwyer, the Delaware State Education Association Director of Legislation and Political Organizing, said she is happy the conversation is opened with this bill but DSEA does not feel the bill goes far enough. DSEA feels the 5-mile radius should be completely removed.
My concerns with this bill are the very nature of Newark Charter School to begin with. Even with their 5-mile radius, their student populations do not reflect that of the Greater Newark area. This is the public comment I gave to the committee and my idea for a potential amendment.
While I am very happy to see this bill, I have concerns around Newark Charter School. When the charter school had their major modification approved to build their high school, they were instructed with formulating a plan to allow for more diversity in their district. I have yet to see that materialize, even within their current 5 mile radius. While their special education numbers have increased, they are still woefully under what the state average is, much less the Christina School District. In the school profile for this school year, African-Americans represent 10.7% of their student population compared to 39.4% of Christina. While factoring in the African-American population of the Wilmington contingent of Christina student population, the greater Newark area has a much higher population of African-Americans compared to NCS. I would recommend an amendment be placed on this bill for a weighted lottery for charter schools, magnets, and any choice school where the demographics are disproportionately lower than that of the surrounding district to allow populations that do not seem to be getting access to certain charter school even footing and representation within those schools. Enrollment preferences are meant to allow the most disadvantaged students into choice schools, not to keep them out. Thank you.
The bill, if passed, would take place immediately. However, it would not be able to kick in until the 2018-2019 school year since the school choice calendar for the 2017-2018 school year closed in January. During the House Bill 90 Enrollment Preferences Task Force, the majority of the members voted in favor of removing the 5-mile radius as an enrollment preference for choice schools. Williams said she does not necessarily agree with the Newark Charter School exclusion, but felt compromise was necessary. If the bill didn't move forward, she would not be able to help any students.
Once Kowalko's amendment is public, I will add it to this article.

Governor Jack Markell & Johnnie Cochran: Parallel Lines & Big Mistakes
American Crime Story: The People Vs. O.J. Simpson concluded on Tuesday night. Based on the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, the show brought the O.J. Simpson saga from 1994-1995 back to life. During this time, Jack Markell was making a name for himself in the business world. The parallels between Johnnie Cochran's defense of O.J. and Delaware Governor Jack Markell's defense of high-stakes testing are uncanny.
To be very clear, there is no doubt in my mind O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. DNA evidence proved that conclusively with the blood found in his Bronco and in various areas around the Brentwood Estate. The reason he was found not guilty was because the trial turned into a racial matter instead of a criminal one. Even defense attorney Robert Shapiro admitted to playing the "race card" in the trial. During the show, it became obvious that defense attorney Johnnie Cochran insisted on turning the already explosive murder trial into a black vs. white thing. What didn't help the defense at all was the very racist views of former Los Angeles detective Mark Furman and questions that arose concerning the bungling or planting of evidence by the Los Angeles Police Department.
For the past twenty years, Delaware has embarked on one standardized test after another. The purpose behind these tests, at least from the viewpoint of education "reformers", is to close the equity gaps between minorities and their white peers. As parents in Delaware decided to opt their children out of taking these tests, Governor Jack Markell continued to point out this divide. With big money and high-profile names supporting him, Markell sold the "need" for the Smarter Balanced Assessment through a false defense for at-risk students along with intimidating threats by the US Department of Education.
Both Markell and Cochran seemed to think bringing race into a controversial issue was a smart idea to defend something bad. O.J. Simpson, once again in my opinion, brutally killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend. High-stakes standardized tests serve no other purpose than to give faulty data to corporations to further perpetuate the cycle of showing these "gaps" between minorities and their peers.
When things got tough during the O.J. trial, Cochran turned to civil rights groups to show the divide between white and black people. This galvanized the trial into two camps. Most white people felt O.J. was guilty but most African-Americans felt he was either innocent or didn't care if he did it and felt a verdict of not guilty was warranted based on past injustices against African-Americans. As the show vividly displayed when the verdict of not guilty was read, white people gasped and African-Americans cheered. It didn't seem to matter what the scientific and forensic evidence in the trial showed. It became a race issue.
When things got tough during the House Bill 50 opt out legislation last year, Markell and his friends at the Rodel Foundation turned to civil rights groups to show the divide between white and black students. The News Journal displayed an ad showing Delaware civil rights groups urging the Delaware General Assembly not to pass HB50. When the bill passed in both houses of the General Assembly, Markell vetoed the bill and sought out public comment from members of Delaware civil rights groups to support the Smarter Balanced Assessment and rail against the opt out movement.
Cochran felt the O.J. trial was symptomatic of the problems African-Americans faced in the USA. He believed far too many African-American faced arrest and imprisonment simply for the color of their skin. He was right, but Cochran refused to believe his client was even possible of the murders. As a result, his fierce advocacy for the true violations of civil rights of African-Americans blinded him to the preponderance of evidence which should have supported a guilty verdict. His job was to defend his client, but the trial became a race issue because of how he conducted himself and he used the mistakes of the L.A. Police to highlight the racial divide. Granted, Mark Furman and his very racist views didn't help the prosecution, but race became the issue, not the murders of two people.
Many reports have come out about the very faulty state assessments in America. Based on the Common Core standards, these tests are given once a year to students and the thresholds for the scores allow x amount of students to be proficient and the majority to be not proficient. Clear and graphic data has shown these tests are more an indication of socio-economic levels in society than true academic progress. This data, which has produced vast amounts of profit for testing companies and "education research" foundations and non-profits, is abused by those who want to increase the divide between at-risk students and their peers. Politicians like Governor Markell are on the side of these companies, not the students, and especially not African-Americans. Their agendas and testing schemes have disrupted education to such a degree that ordinary parents have chosen to pull their children out of these unnecessary and burdensome tests.
Both Cochran and Markell used the issues of the day to further matters that truly were not about race. Cochran wanted a not guilty verdict for OJ Simpson and Markell wants a guilty verdict for schools with low-income students and high amounts of at-risk students. By bringing race into their arguments, they have not advanced the cause for what they say. They both caused the divide to widen. In the end, OJ Simpson wound up being found guilty in a civil trial against him and is now serving time in prison for kidnapping and theft. In the end, parents are still opting out of the Smarter Balanced Assessment and many in the African-American community are beginning to question if these tests truly are useful.
Over twenty years later, many in the African-American community believe OJ Simpson committed the murders. As OJ sits in a Nevada prison, pending parole next year, the true victims of his actions are the two people whose murderer was never found guilty by a jury. As well, OJ's children will forever live with the facts and the doubts in their minds about the results of what happened on June 12th, 1994. Johnnie Cochran passed in 1995. He will always be remembered for getting the not guilty verdict for his client, OJ Simpson. Sadly, he won't be remembered for advancing the true civil rights issues that continue to plague so many in the African-American community.
Meanwhile, as estimates come in of over 300,000 students opted out of the state assessment in New York and an unknown amount here in Delaware, the media is once again torn on the usefulness of these high-stakes tests. Governor Markell has been very quiet on the issue this year, perhaps learning from the mistakes he made last year by reacting to the opt out movement in Delaware. The true victims in this high-stakes education game are the children in 3rd to 8th grade, forced to either take a test that bears no worthwhile results to further their academic progress or be opted out by their parents with some schools fighting the parents tooth and nail over their decision. As well, the parents who are forced to fight schools, the teachers who would much rather instruct students meaningfully instead of wasting all this time over a silly test, and the school administrators who feel the need to fight parents because of threats of funding cuts and false labels against their schools. Standardized testing has done nothing to stop the very dangerous school-to-prison pipeline in Delaware. If anything, it caused an increase as more at-risk students felt like failures based on the results of the very faulty tests and their self-confidence eroded to such a degree that they felt school was not a valid option. Is it any wonder crime and violence increased in Wilmington the same years high-stakes testing increased? Where is that study?
Cochran and Markell, two men of power, twenty years and 2,700 miles apart from each other, both used race to bring the wrong conclusion to bad events. Their actions didn't make things better. They only made them worse. History will eventually show the truth in both matters. Race should never be used to support bad ideas. Civil rights groups should not defend a man who openly admitted to beating his wife, was accused of killing her and her boyfriend, ran from the police, and then made a mockery of the very same community that defended him. Civil rights groups should not use children in agendas to advance their cause, especially when they are receiving vast amounts of money from the very same foundations and companies that support the high-stakes testing environment that is putting labels on their communities. It is deceptive and doesn't help the ones they should be advocating for.
The injustices perpetrated against the African-American community are wrong. No man or woman or child should be labeled or judged based on the color of their skin. By showing false divides, we are not helping them, we are harming them.

Delaware Secretary of Education Mark Murphy Manages To Discriminate Against 5 Different Groups In One Shot @CapeGazette @delawareonline @DoverPost @TheStateNews @NYTimes @washingtonpost @WSJ @ChicagoTribune @LATimes
I called for Delaware Secretary of Education Mark Murphy's ouster yesterday. And that was before I even knew about his latest stunt. At the Wilmington City Council meeting on Thursday night, Murphy had a flyer printed up to show reasons why the State of Delaware wanted to implement the Priority Schools initiative against the six Wilmington schools. These schools are low income with heavy populations of African-Americans and students with disabilities. I spoke at the Christina Board of Education meeting a couple weeks ago how the state's programs have led to a bizarre type of triple segregation with these schools. Murphy managed to top that with his comments about a school in the Indian River school district in Sussex County, Delaware.
In the flyer, entitled "Priority Schools: An Opportunity To Improve Our City's Schools Together", handed out to the public, part of it said the following:
A great Delaware example is Indian River's Clayton Elementary, located in a rural area of Sussex County with many parents working for the poultry factories. When Sharon Brittingham took over as principal in 1997, she found a staff that didn't expect much of it's low-income, black, Hispanic students. The teachers commonly used the phrase, "You can't make chicken salad from chicken shit." Brittingham found "teachers didn't just need to believe in the ability of children to learn but also their ability to teach." She helped educators improve their instruction, providing high quality professional development with aid from the district and state. She also added intensive intervention for struggling students. And she found teachers needed help with inclusive classrooms, which include students with disabilities alongside their peers. By the time she retired in 2006, her school was one of the top in the state with proficiency rates of 100 percent in some grades and subjects. The school faltered a bit when some teachers did away with some of the changes she had put in place. But the school now is doing well again after it's current principal returned to some of Brittingham's successful strategies.
So let's see here, how many groups can you treat badly with discriminatory statements in one paragraph? How about low-income, African-Americans, Hispanics, farmers and teachers. Great job Murphy! I'm sure this flyer really resonated with the folks up in Wilmington, but not in the way you expected. It showed a DOE that is clueless about the realities these schools face, and showed their true colors.
Later on in the guide, it states the following hypocritical statement:
DOE has communicated the expectation to the participating districts that engagement of families and the community will be meaningful and genuine.
This one sentence is a summary of what the Delaware DOE has become, a manipulative back-stabbing entity that thrives on bullying school districts to do their bidding. The DOE forced their Memorandum of Understanding on both Christina and Red Clay Consolidated School Districts, and aside from Governor Markell and Murphy's impromptu press conference at Warner Elementary School, where the school districts first learned of the blitzkrieg plan, they have done nothing to try to bring the community and parents into their diabolical agenda. In fact, Christina's Board of Education chose to ignore the MOU so they could write their own to bring more stakeholders into it, including, you guessed it: families and the community. If this flyer is any indication of how the Delaware DOE intends to engage with families and communities, someone might want to remind them this isn't 1860.
Yesterday, Red Clay Education Association President Mike Matthews emailed both Markell and Murphy about how he and many other teachers were extremely offended by the flyer. Apparently Murphy fanned the flames even more by sending a personal apology to Matthews and other union members, but not to the entire state in a public forum. Murphy needs to go. Period.

Unfortunately it has to be done. And it has to be done in a prescribed format... otherwise the Tax Man will be on your back.
I guess you'd much rather be out there making money from your business than doing the books. And because everyone hates bookkeeping, most people end up doing it in the evening or at weekends. Yet, shouldn't evenings and weekends be spent playing with the kids, spending time with your friends and loved ones, or out on the golf course?
Technology has come to our rescue. Its called cloud accounting.
Just like online banking has changed banking forever (it's easier to transfer money in minutes, check your bank balance at any time rather than waiting for that monthly statement to arrive in the post and generally keep on top of your finances), cloud accounting has changed accounting systems.
Just like online banking, a modern cloud accounting system will save you a significant amount of time by automating many of the data entry processes that used to take up so much of your precious time and giving you instant access to your numbers. And that's just two of the many benefits.
Need some help setting up your online accounting system?

Enter the Dutch 'Infidel,' Faithful to Herself (Q.& A. with Ayaan Hirsi Ali)
Author: Laurie Goodstein
Publication: The New York Times
URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/weekinreview/04goodstein.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
As a 22-year-old Somali Muslim, Ayaan Hirsi Ali disappeared en route from Nairobi, Kenya, to an arranged marriage in Canada, and fled to the Netherlands. A decade later, she won a seat in the Dutch Parliament, where she became known as an advocate for women and a critic of Islam. She collaborated with Theo van Gogh on a movie that depicted abused women with passages from the Koran written on their skin. In 2004, Mr. van Gogh was shot dead in Amsterdam by a Dutch Muslim born to Moroccan immigrants, who then staked a letter threatening Ms. Hirsi Ali onto Mr. van Gogh's chest, sending her into hiding for a while. Three months ago she landed in Washington as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Her autobiography, "Infidel," will be published in English on Tuesday. Recently she spoke to Laurie Goodstein, a reporter for The New York Times.
Q. What do you think it was about you that made you grab the reins of your own life?
A. In my upbringing I had watched my mother and I had watched other women go through the whole process. And I didn't want to be that. I didn't want to be a victim of the circumstances, and other people's decisions. And education contributed to my leaving this man and my clan, in the sense that it gave me the self-confidence to think I can leave.
When I came to the Netherlands I spoke English. And before me was this woman who had lived in our house [in Nairobi] when she was a refugee. She had four children and spoke only Somali and moved to the Netherlands, and it was like, if she can survive, I can do much better. My first experience in the Netherlands was very pleasant, extremely pleasant. I mean, I got my residence permit, refugee status, within four weeks of arrival. People treated me extremely well.
Q. Would a Somali arriving in the Netherlands now, similar description to you - speaks English, educated woman on her own - have the same experience?
A. The whole asylum process has changed. I was received at a center - it looks like a holiday resort, with a golf course, swimming pools, and tennis courts and people who are assigned to make the lives of the refugees coming in as pleasant as possible. Today in Holland you will be received at a center where you will be put in a small room that looks like a prison and you will sit in that room with hundreds of others, in each other's sweat and tears, and you will be kept, you will be made to wait for hours before you can even be heard. And within 48 hours you get an answer, and the answer is, 9 out of 10 times, it's negative.
Asked if she found the situation and attitude of Muslims here different from those in Europe, Ms. Hirsi Ali said she hadn't yet had enough contact with Muslims in the United States to form an opinion, but she recounted her experience in Canada last year.
A. I took part in a debate and there were many Muslims, and I thought there was a huge difference between the Canadian Muslims and, for example, the Dutch Muslims. The Canadian Muslims were just as angry with me as their counterparts in Holland, but they refrained from shouting, from insulting and from disrupting the session. And that's what some of the Muslims in Holland would do, and did.
Q. You think the North Americans are doing something right with assimilation?
A. The Canadian Muslims I am talking of, and it is just one experience, spoke perfect English. Our Dutch Muslims hardly speak any, or take the trouble to speak Dutch. The second generation that does seems to have learned only insults and terrible words to throw at other people.
Q. As a teenager you wore the hijab and a robe that went down to your ankles. You wrote in your book that it actually helped you feel empowered and individual and superior. So why did you stop covering and start denouncing it?
A. I was just one of the few who went about the streets like that, and it was of my own choice. I wasn't forced to do it. I try to explain in the book that what might seem as if these radical Muslims who come and indoctrinate young people, as if they force you into something. That's not the case. It's an ideology that is consistent with our faith. You know, we are brought up as Muslims. And we are passive Muslims.
And in my case Sister Aziza [a teacher trained in Saudi Arabia] comes around and she makes us active. So it's all very congruent at that stage. And then we were shown pictures of dead people. Bloodied, killed, large numbers of corpses in Iran. And she says this is what the Jews are doing to Muslims; this is what the Americans are doing to Muslims. So there was the sense first of all as a teenager discovering an aim for your life, developing a sense of morality between right and wrong, belonging to a group that is superior, and all non-Muslims were inferior.
Q. Have you seen any ideology coming from within Islam that gives young Muslims a sense of purpose without the overlay of militancy?
A. They have no alternative message. There is no active missionary work among the youth telling them, do not become jihadis. They do not use media means as much as the jihadis. They simply - they're reactive and they don't seem to be able to compete with the jihadis. And every time there is a debate between a real jihadi and, say, what we have decided to call moderate Muslims, the jihadis win. Because they come with the Koran and quotes from the Koran. The come with quotes from the Hadith and the Sunnah, and the traditions of the prophet. And every assertion they make, whether it is that women should be veiled, or Jews should be killed, or Americans are our enemies, or any of that, they win. Because what they have to say is so consistent with what is written in the Koran and the Hadith. And what the moderates fail to do is to say, listen, that's all in there, but that wasn't meant for this context. And we have moved on. We can change the Koran, we can change the Hadith. That's what's missing.
Q. When Muslims here talk about rights, the big issue is discrimination, particularly in this post-9/11 era where Muslims have had trouble even traveling through airports.
A. Like all other Muslims who go through this, and all other individuals who go through this, it's a terrible experience. But it is an experience that I understand. I as a Muslim, or as a human individual, would like to minimize the risk of being blown up on a plane. ...
However, I would say singling out people that you think are Muslims simply because they might is not something in an open society that you can defend.

Q: Timeline uses 12-hour notation without AM/PM indicator All timelines for questions show time in 12-hour notation, but without AM or PM. That's slightly confusing, though the tooltip shows the correct details:

Shouldn't the time use 24-hour notation instead?

A: Yup, that's a bug (hh should be HH on a .ToString())...it'll be fixed in the next build.

Forensic Anthropologists Evidence Collect Evidence
The discovery of bones is an occasion that calls for the expertise of a forensic anthropologist. One of the most popular TV shows featuring this class of professionals is aptly named "Bones." Although one cannot take everything seen on this show at face value, it does provide an insight into what this career entails. The process of identifying the bones is not as cut and dried as it appears on TV and the solution is not always available within a short period of time.
As soon as a potential crime scene is discovered, forensic anthropologists are called into action. Their first job is to ascertain whether the bones found are human or from an animal of some kind. Even if they are the bones of an animal, they will try to ascertain the type of animal because the find could be important to archaeologists.
First the anthropologist has to secure the scene to limit the amount of further contamination of the evidence. The bones must be carefully collected and the scene examined to make sure that none are left behind. The bones are transported to a lab where they must be cleaned and analyzed. If the body is intact, the scientists will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death. DNA samples are collected and compared with those of missing persons that are on record. If the DNA samples do not match any on record, then the investigation will include scouring unsolved cases to possibly find a match.
Autopsy and DNA collection are but two of the ways that forensic anthropologists collect evidence. They do try to reconstruct the body by placing all the bones in the right places and by examining the structure of the skull they are able to come up with a composite of what the person looked like when he/she was alive.
Hairs and fibers of all kinds are also collected at the scene. DNA can be obtained from hair samples and it may lead to the perpetrator of the crime if there is a homicide. Fibers from clothing or cloth in which the body was wrapped can also lead forensic scientists to making a firm conclusion of what the person was wearing at the time of death. By comparing this information with what is on file for missing persons, they can make an identification. Such identification of the body can then provide investigators with leads to follow in determining how the body ended up where it did and who committed the crime.
When an autopsy is not possible because of deterioration of the body, a study of the bones will give forensic anthropologists clues to what happened to this person. Trauma to the bones can indicate a blow that resulted in death or it can show evidence of an injury sustained at some time in the past. Along with looking for possible injuries and fatal wounds, they will also scour the scene for any evidence of a murder weapon, whether it is a stick or a bullet.
The job of a forensic anthropologist is an essential one, but it is not as glorious as that portrayed on TV.

Quotes by Olivia Newton-John
About Olivia Newton-John:
Olivia Newton-John is an English-born Australian singer, songwriter and actress. She is a four-time Grammy award winner who has amassed five No. 1 and ten other Top Ten Billboard Hot 100 singles and two No. 1 Billboard 200 solo albums. Eleven of her singles (including two platinum) and 14 of her albums (including two platinum and four double platinum) have been certified gold by the RIAA. She has sold an estimated 100 million records, making her one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time. She starred in Grease, which featured one of the most successful soundtracks in Hollywood history.
'Grease' changed my life in the most amazing way, and I've had such an amazing life. When things go wrong, you've got to believe you will get through them and focus on the positive things in your life.
My father had the most amazing operatic voice, so I have a soft spot for that.
Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. It's better than art because it's from the creator.
Being in love is the best thing in my life.
Being In Love
I remember as a little girl I could tell you the name of the dog next door, but I couldn't tell you the names of the kids. The dog was my best friend. I love animals. They give so much to you and demand so little.
I live every day to its fullest extent and I don't sweat the small stuff.
I'm happy, and I think being happy keeps you looking young.
Being Happy
My memories are inside me - they're not things or a place - I can take them anywhere.
I don't know what my path is yet. I'm just walking on it.
We print 37 million copies, and we found out about the unfortunate news as we were putting the issue to bed.
When I first arrived in America, the very first place I came was California, and I rented a house in Trance, which is about half an hour from Malibu.
I am fortunate to have the ability to lend my name to build the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in my hometown of Melbourne. It will be a state-of-the-art facility to help heal the whole person - body, mind and spirit.
I feel very passionately that we need to take care of the planet and everything on it. Whether it's saving the Amazon or just being kind to those around you, we need to take care of each other and Mother Earth.
I used homeopathy, acupuncture, yoga and meditation in conjunction with my chemotherapy to help me get stronger again after the cancer. I also chanted with Buddhist friends and prayed with Christian friends. I covered all my bases.
Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
There's a rumor going around that I'm Miss Goody-two-shoes from Australia. Well, that's a laugh. I'm really Miss Goody-two-shoes from England!
I'm a very light sleeper. I get about six hours a night.
In June 1992, I discovered a lump in my breast. A subsequent mammogram, ultrasound and a needle biopsy proved negative. But my instinct said it still didn't feel right, so I had a lumpectomy. I then got the news that it was cancer.
I feel alive, fit and active. I have no plans for retirement. My only concession to getting a little older is that I like to have a cat-nap in the afternoon. After that, I can push on through anything.
I've been through cancer, divorce, loss and bereavement, but they are things most humans go through.

Everyone loves a new set of luggage and that excitement usually dies down after a while, however, you'll keep falling in love over and over again with these suitcases we have picked out here. If not to play around with the luggage for the sole reason this list his based on *cough spinner wheels cough* then at least because who doesn't love a stylish and functional suitcase.
We've reviewed countless spinner suitcases to come up with the perfect luggage for those that love having extreme mobility while traversing airports and train stations. The spinner luggage below are some of the best that'll you'll find for various budgets.
This is the "On the Prowl" spinner suitcase by Lily Bloom. While this piece is amazing, the luggage in general by Lily Bloom is absolutely fantastic and always has a great looking design. Lily Bloom offers similar spinner luggage in a couple other designs. These include the Desert Sierra, Forest, What a Hoot and Wildwoods, all equally impressive in their design.
A neat feature about Lily Bloom that a lot of people may not realize is that each piece is made from a signature fabric that is actually created from recycled plastic bottles. Not only is it stylish but also environmentally friendly!
Lily Blooms durability with its luggage has been tested time and time again and they can definitely hold their own. When we tested this suitcase out the fabric exterior held up extremely well considered it's made of recycled plastic.
The luggage also utilizes reinforced handle poles so that they are durable and provide extra strength for those numerous trips. It also does a great job at protecting your spinner wheels so that they do not break. Lily Bloom suitcases are very well designed to stand the test of time. If that's not enough for you they also offer a 5 year warranty!
The functionality of the Lily Bloom luggage is top notch. While it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, what it does, it gets right. For example, we're always trying to avoid airline fees right, so Lily Bloom makes sure to make their suitcase with a lightweight construction.
Lily Bloom also obviously includes spinner wheels (which perform fantastically) as this post is titled "Best Spinner Luggage", ergonomic handles for when you're pushing or pulling your luggage along, expandable capability to increase your load from 100 liters to 112 liters and excellent organization with its 3 interior pockets and two exterior ones.
This is the Baseline Large Expandable Spinner by Briggs & Riley. This one is pretty tame with its design and color selection but design plays a very small role in the over factoring of best spinner luggage.
The Briggs & Riley Baseline is aptly name as the colors are very much a baseline. They include black, navy and olive. The suitcase itself is constructed of 95% nylon, 3% aluminum and 2% rubber and in case it matters to you, it is imported.
When it comes to durability it doesn't get much better than Briggs & Riley. To go back to the material used in the construction of this excellent spinner luggage, the Baseline is made with ballistic nylon which is perfect for resisting abrasions, dirt and moisture.
The best warranty offered in the industry in my opinion comes from B&R. They offer the, SIMPLE AS THAT WARRANTY, which is a lifetime warranty.
You don't have to be the original owner, have a receipt or even explain what happened; you simply have to pay for the shipping to the repair shop. It really is a lifetime warranty that is unbeatable. They even cover airline damage.
While the price tag is up there, it's worth it in my opinion if you are even considering spending half of that on another product because the bag is basically guaranteed forever and you'll never have any worries.
The functionality of Briggs & Riley is nothing to look past either. Obviously it comes with the spinner wheels for effortless navigation and some other basic features such as garment securing panels an exterior zippered pocket and exterior SpeedThru pocket for quick access to documents at security checkpoints. But it also offers a few neat features you don't see in other luggage.
It comes with a garment suiter that holds 1-2 suits and prevents wrinkling with its foam roll bar, an outsider handle for wrinkle-free flat packing which helps with interior capacity and if you needed more room it also has a CX expansion-compression system. This system increases capacity by 26% and is easily compressed with a push of a button!
Although it's a little of the heavy side and the price tag is a little high, it's absolutely top notch quality that will last you, well, forever!
This is the Jardin 24" Spinner by Nicole Miller. The Jardin is made for those that are seeking an eloquent style while still getting some decent functionality. The Nicole Miller spinner comes in two variations, black and mauve which is basically a fancy word for purple.
The Jardin screams sophistication as it's made with luxurious tweed prints and accented with gold colored zippers and handle.
The durability of the Jardin expandable has done well during my first run through with the piece of luggage. We took it on a short 3 day roundtrip flight. I was surprised to find that it did not have any scuffs or scratches and it held up very well.
The zippers are doing a great job as well as the retractable handle. Overall I'm thoroughly impressed. The only concern is that I was unable to find any warranty listed anywhere. Luckily the price tag isn't bad at all.
The Nicole Miller Jardin's functionality is nothing to brag about but it does a fine job. It comes with those 360 degree spinner wheels that everyone loves, telescoping push button handles, lots of pockets to store additional items, is extremely well balanced and of course it is expandable.
This is the Andiamo Elegante Spinner. Andiamo is an Italian company that specializes in luggage and Andiamo translates to "Let's go", very fitting!
The Andiamo Elegante luggage comes in a couple of colors, black pearl, gold and quartz. My favorite is bar far the black pearl, who wouldn't love saying that name.
The design of the Elegante is unique in that it's created with groove all along its exterior. It's made outer shell is made of 100% polycarbonate and an alloy metalized finish.
The durability of a spinner suitcase like this is pretty impressive with the tough hardside polycarbonate body. Its aluminum magnesium frame doesn't hurt either, making it very lightweight and strong while providing that sleek profile everyone desires.
The wheels are well made with double spinners for each corner which provide an effortless glide and the handle of the Elegante is quite durable as well. If for any reason you have any issues with your gear coming undone, which I highly doubt, then Andiamo also offers a 10 year warranty for your peace of mind!
The Andiamo Elegante has some standard functionality that you would expect in travel gear especially for one in this price range.
There is an integrated TSA approved lock to provide exceptional security for your luggage while traveling, 8 wheel spinner system which gives you superb mobility, a recessed dual locking and unlocking extendable handle which go along great with the top and side streamlined handles.
The Chatelet by Delsey Paris is a beautiful piece of luggage made by one of the best luggage makers in the business. Delsey Paris produces great travel gear and the Chatelet is no exception.
Delsey offers the Chatelet in a few color options but "Champagne" is definitely my favorite. But I promise you this Delsey Paris spinner, regardless of what style you go with, will get you many compliments.
The durability of the Chatelet is excellent as it is constructed with 100% polycarbonate which makes it not only lightweight but very durable with its hard shell.
The wheels are excellently made and glide very well which is what you would expect with a piece of spinner luggage. Also if you're a little too rough with your Delsey Chatelet then don't worry as they offer a fantastic 10 year warranty!
This Chatelet offers some unique features that I've never seen in a suitcase before. My favorite by far is the brake system. You can simply press a button and it will lock the two front wheels so you can even leave it on a ramp without worrying about it rolling away.
There is also a recessed TSA approved lock that uses a 3 digit combo, compression straps for your clothes inside the suitcase and a zippered mesh divider on the other side of the suitcase. Finally two interior bags and a hanger are included to provide you with optimal organization.
With one of the longer names on this list the Ricardo Beverly Hills Topanga Canyon is one of our more budget friendly options yet still has impeccable style!
The Ricardo suitcase comes in two simple options white and black and they sure do look great. It is made of polypropylene which gives it a beautiful hard shell exterior while also keeping it lightweight and durable. Also, should it matter, this suitcase is imported.
The Topanga Canyon Spinner is an excellent buy for the money because of a number of reasons. The durability on the Ricardo expandable luggage is amazing as it has been thrown down a flight of stairs (not on purpose) and survived without a scratch, the handle is sturdy and the wheels do a fantastic job on all different types of terrain.
If that isn't enough for you then you can rest easy knowing that the Ricardo Beverly Hills Spinner comes with a 10 year warranty! To get that at this price is unbelievable!
The features on the Ricardo include a number of mainstays that include: duel spinner wheels to provide exceptional smooth rolling in any direction and sleek and comfortable handles while you're pushing or pulling your luggage along.
It has a pull handle that can lock and adjusts to different heights to accommodate most everyone, interior organization with zippered and mesh compartments to keep your luggage neat and of course it is expandable. Finally a little neat addition is the elastic storage pouches for packing your shoes separately from your clothes!
The American Tourister LiteSPN is probably the best purchase you could make if you are looking for cheap spinner luggage. The price tag on this is always low and the style of the rolling luggage is excellent.
American Tourister offers this spinner bag in a grey and green combo that is unique from a lot of other boring luggage. One of the best styling decisions with this piece of luggage are the wheels as they are colored green and look amazing.
The LiteSPN luggage is made of a durable polyester fabric that provides exceptional protection while also keeping it very very lightweight at only 7 lbs. Of course the whole reason of buying spinner luggage is to do awesome 360 degree rotations with your luggage right? Well you'll be glad to know that the wheels feel very sturdy and well-made and I don't foresee any problems with them.
Obviously if you've checked the price by now you understand that for this inexpensive luggage you aren't going to get all of the greatest bells and whistles but it's an excellent suitcase for someone who doesn't need all that and is on a budget.
The American Tourister LiteSPN comes with the obvious 4 spinner wheels, and compression straps on the inside to keep luggage organized.
It has a push button locking handle and handles both on the top and side that are integrated into the suitcase. It is also expandable to provide you with extra storing capacity! Plus it doesn't hurt that it comes with free shipping from Samsonite!
Lucas luggage isn't an extremely well-known brand but they offer a quality bag at a reasonable price. Their designs are a little different as well which will make your suitcase stand out when rolling around the carousel at the airport.
The Lucas Ultra Lightweight Spinner comes in 3 different color options for you, black, lavender and royal blue. What's different about these suitcases is the actually the exterior. The front face of the suitcase is basically wrapped in a flexible fabric which gives a distinctive look!
The durability with this luggage is impeccable. The fact that it is ultra lightweight luggage doesn't hurt. It also helps with airline fees!
The handles are made of aircraft grade aluminum which also makes them extremely lightweight and able to absorb a lot of shock, it has great strength and durability.
The wheels, the most important part, are excellently made with lightweight yes sturdy 100% PU material which helps withstand long term wear. If that's not enough, they also include a 5 year manufacturer's warranty!
The Lucas comes with the fantastic 360 degree spinner wheels and work very well over a variety of surfaces, the handles are built ergonomically so that they will be comfortable to use and not hurt your hand and it's also expandable for extra capacity to pack more of your clothing or souvenirs!
The fully lined interior has excellent organization with multiple pocks and you also have two more additional zippered pockets on the outside. And did we mention it's extremely lightweight!
Another piece of affordable spinner luggage on our list the IT Luggage MegaLite is an exceptional full size spinner suitcase for a very reasonable price.
The MegaLite spinner comes in a number of color options as well which is always nice to mix it up and have variety. You have your choice between, blue ashes, black, baton rouge, blue grotto, fiery red and flint gray.
IT Luggage carefully took into consideration the materials they would use to ensure durability, strength and lightness. It shows as their bag is made of high density polyester that makes the bag weigh only 5 pounds!
The wheels also hold up very well even when travelling internationally and the handles and extendable handle are all reinforced to last you for many trips to come. Not to mention they are tested for comfort!
For an exceptional spinner at this price you can imagine that the features will be pretty basic and they are. There's nothing wrong with it, you just get what you pay for. The MegaLite luggage comes with the 4 wheels that makes the suitcase glide effortlessly and are extremely quiet.
When you're not busy having fun rolling your luggage all over the airport or train station then you can easily tuck your extendable handle away with a single push of a button.
There are two exterior zippered pockets to provide you with some simple organization and the interior features compression traps and a zippered mesh pocket on the lid side.
Finally the bag is expandable in the front to provide a little extra storing capacity in case you pick up some items you want to bring home but would otherwise have no room for.
We round off this best spinner luggage list with a staple from one of the most well-known luggage companies around, Samsonite. This is the Samsonite Winfield2 and is quite a looker.
I have to say I love the design of the exterior and particularly the charcoal color but you can also choose from orange, purple, deep blue, black, burgundy, dark blue, dark grey, deep orange and deep purple.
As I'm sure you can tell this is a hard shell spinner that is made of 100% polycarbonate which makes it not only durable but also lightweight. It's made to absorb impacts by flexing with the pressure applied to it, then popping right back to its original shape.
The wheels are excellently made as well which provides you with a sense of comfort that they won't fall off during your journey. The handles also are well made especially the extendable handle as it was very comfortable to use while moving through the airport.
Now while this all sounds great, accidents do happen and honestly hard shell suitcases scare me even when they are designed flawlessly. That's why you can rest easier knowing Samsonite offers a warranty on its luggage.
The features that come with a Samsonite suitcase are typically better than your average joe suitcase and this Winfield2 is no exception. The Winfield2 suitcase, to start, comes with a TSA approved lock that is mounted on the side of the bag right above the handle.
It is also expandable to provide you with extra storing capacity. And with that extra capacity you will want to make sure you organize efficiently and you're able to do that with the compression straps and double mesh pockets that both are zippered on the lid interior.
Finally it comes with oversized zippers which help you get a good grip and also 4 spinner wheels that are perfect for multi-directional mobility.
There are a couple of factors that always goes into deciding what makes a list. These are style, durability and functionality. These are a staple, however, when a list is built specifically for spinner luggage you have to also look more closely at the actual spinner wheels and we also want to see a warranty in case you run into any issues with your luggage. If you're worried about checking your luggage, check out our picks for great carry-on suitcases!
The style of a suitcase is always important even if others say it's not because nobody wants to lug around an ugly piece of luggage. We want something that looks great and stands out or at the very least looks sophisticated or clean with solid colors. It's also important to take a look into the material the suitcases are made out of.
Quite possibly the most important aspect of any product review has to be the durability of the item, how long it will last. Because what's the point in even considering a product if it constantly breaks or has a history of issues. For this list we looked over the construction of the suitcase, how sturdy the handles are, the durability of the spinner wheels and of course if there is a warranty present.
Functionality is what sells, you don't look at two suitcases and say "I want the bag that I have to carry everywhere over the spinner suitcase" so we made sure to look at all the features of each piece of luggage. While this is a best of list, we would like to see uniqueness in each piece of gear and we do in some, but a lot of these suitcases come with features that have come to be known as standard so any uniqueness plays a big part in our decision. Of course price will have a role to play in this as well.

Q: Verify SSH authentication with Bash Shell Script? I need to test SSH authentication on a few servers. Let say the IP Addresses of those servers are saved in ip.txt file
I've written similar script in Python using paramiko and netmiko module.
The problem now I've to test it from a server where there is no Python3 or Internet connection.
Therefore, installation of 3rd party tools or Python modules are not an option here.
expect, sshpass are also not available.
The only thing available is bash script. Is it possible to do this on Bash alone? How do I pass password to the ssh?

A: Try SSH_ASKPASS
man ssh

...
SSH_ASKPASS
If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the
passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal.
If ssh does not have a
terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by
SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11
window to read the passphrase.  This is particularly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession or related
script.  (Note that on some
machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)
...

$ cat echoPass
echo passwordHere

$ cat sshSession
export SSH_ASKPASS='~/echoPass'

With new energy, Cong puts up a real fight

The BJP has marginally increased its voteshare percentage, but the Congress too has boosted it by six per cent.
Congress President Rahul Gandhi (Photo: AP)
The much-awaited results for Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh are out. The BJP has won both, and deserves to be congratulated. To some extent, the results were not unexpected. In Himachal Pradesh, victory has always alternated between the BJP and the Congress. The Congress was in power this time, and now, following established trends, it was the turn of the BJP. As it turned out, the victory of the BJP in the hill state has been decisive. It did not help the Congress, I think, to have octogenarian Virbhadra Singh leading its campaign. On the other hand, the BJP's image has been dented by the fact that Prem Singh Dhumal, its chief ministerial candidate, has lost.
Far more attention was expectedly focused on Gujarat. The BJP has retained the upper hand there, but the Congress has certainly managed to put a foot into the otherwise impregnable state of the country's Prime Minister. A win is a win, but the BJP's overall seats tally has come down, and that of the Congress has gone up. At 99, the BJP is down by 16 seats; at 77, the Congress is up by 16. The BJP has marginally increased its voteshare percentage, but the Congress too has boosted it by six per cent.
There are three major takeaways from the Gujarat elections. First, the BJP was, notwithstanding its victory, given a real run for its money. All the stops were pulled out to meet this challenge because a loss or even a poor showing in Gujarat — the PM's home state — would have had tectonic consequences. Over two dozen Central ministers were assigned to the state; the PM made countless rallies; and a Parliament session was postponed to accommodate the BJP's imperative to win Gujarat. And, most important, all talk of vikas was thrown out of the window as a transparent and vicious campaign was centered around religious polarisation.
Labels like "KhiljikiAulad", Aurangzeb, Babar Bhakt were bandied about freely to tarnish the Congress. Hardik, Alpesh and Jignesh were quickly reduced to the motivated acronym of "HAJ". An organised campaign appeared to have focused on spreading the canard that if the Congress wins, Ahmad Patel, a Muslim, would be made the chief minister. The last straw was the PM himself making the unprecedented charge that a former Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, a former vice-president, Hamid Ansari, and a former Army Chief, Gen. Deepak Kapoor — not to speak of several very distinguished Indian diplomats — were conspiring with Pakistan to defeat the BJP in Gujarat! The PM also made the insinuation that an obscure retired general in Pakistan had said that Ahmad Patel would be made the CM if the Congress came to power. The desperate invocation of Pakistan as a strategy to seduce or intimidate voters is not new. Amit Shah had said during the Bihar elections in 2015 that firecrackers would be lit in celebration in Pakistan if the Mahagathbandhan wins!
The second takeaway was that, contrary to expectations, the Congress put a spirited fight. The central figure in this reinvigorated campaign was Rahul Gandhi. There were several new traits in his campaign strategy. First, contrary to the personalised attacks on him, he said that no derogatory words would be used against the office of the PM. Second, he chose humility over arrogance. If a tweet he made had a factual error, he was quick to accept the mistake by saying that to err is human. Third, he was willing to make course corrections. One example was the visit to temples. India is a country where religion is an important factor. In the past, the Congress had suffered from the tag of minority appeasement at the cost of the interests of the majority community. This was — if not entirely, but significantly — set to rest by Rahul's temple run, where he paid due obeisance without diluting his central commitment to the need to respect all faiths. Fourth, in contrast to the BJP's rhetoric on religious polarisation, he dealt with issues that were hurting the ordinary Gujarati — the after effects of demonetisation and a badly executed GST, jobless growth, the ill-treatment of dalits, and the agrarian crisis — all of which were a cause of considerable anger and discontent. And finally, he demonstrated that when required he could take swift and decisive action. Mani Shankar Aiyar was asked to apologise and was suspended from the primary membership of the Congress Party within hours of his use of inappropriate language for the PM. This decisiveness was also visible in the decision of the Congress Party to anoint a new president without waiting to see what happens in these elections.
The third takeaway was the apparent lack of impartiality of the Election Commission (EC). There are no credible answers why the EC delayed the application of the model code of conduct in Gujarat by a week, merely — it would appear — to enable the PM to announce a slew of sops for Gujarat. A notice was issued to Rahul Gandhi for interviews to TV channels after campaigning in the first phase was over (which it withdrew on Sunday night), but no notice was issued to BJP president Amit Shah, who gave a similar interview from a government venue like the airport. The PM literally conducted a roadshow after casting his vote, but the EC remained silent, when in 2014, a notice was issued to him for a selfie taken after he cast his vote while displaying the BJP symbol. The EC enjoys a great deal of respect as an impartial entity, but if it seems to be partisan it bodes ill for the functioning of democracy in our country.
To my mind, the battle for 2019 is far from being a done deal. Industrial production is down to 2.2 per cent, manufacturing to 2.5 per cent, agricultural growth at a lowly 1.7 per cent; inflation has risen just this month from 3.6 per cent to 4.9 per cent, with vegetables alone going up by 22 per cent; private capital investment in this quarter is the lowest in the last 10 years; jobs are scarce, and farmers are still committing suicide; and, not the least, we are facing a situation of endemic social instability due to religious fanaticism.
Ultimately people vote on matters that touch their lives, not eloquence or promises. The BJP needs to introspect on these matters. And the Opposition needs to gear up for what could be an interesting fight in 2019. The real battle has just begun.
