The Teacher From Bihar
Posted by Cifar on November 21, 2015
"You Can't Imagine How This Poor Bihari Boy Climbed The Wall Of This Big Private Institution."
I can still remember these words uttered almost twelve years ago were enough for you to judge the importance and impact of these words on me and my life. His facial expressions and moist eyes are still fresh in my memory. His eyes conveyed his entire story to me in a second. I don't know what others present in that class felt at that time, perhaps some have laughed at his emotions but those emotions touched my heart which inscribed these words for always.
I am talking about my Math teacher of 11th and 12th class Mr. Pathak. He was from Bihar an upper cast who was affected by V.P.Singh's government agreeing and applying of Mandal Commission report in 1989-90. The Mandal Commission was formed to analyze social differences in society which effected in increase of quota of reservation for SC, ST and OBC. Bihar being the initiator of Mandal movement experienced most discrimination on caste lines resulted in neglecting of upper caste students. Mr Pathak being from the upper caste was caught in this politics which lead him to leave his village and state to study in Delhi.
He usually told us the stories of his village school which was devoid of any modern facilities. He was impressed by his math teacher who was devoted to his students even in such a poor condition. He wanted to be like him and teach his village students. The sentence I mentioned above was showing his pain of leaving his native place and his struggle after enforcement of Mandal commission. At that time I was not much aware of Mandal-Kamandal politics, neither I understood his mention of it in the class room, I was just touched by his emotions and experienced his pain of struggle. I think he was driven by his pain of leaving his native place which helped him performing strong in the big city.
This became the reason of pursuing my higher education through correspondence than regular college. Although I secured marks enough to get admission in a good reputed college but my passion was and is writing which I thought I could pursue without a regular college degree so I left my seat for someone more deserving who was nurturing dreams like my teacher from Bihar to teach his people and make an impact on their life.
I never met Mr Pathak after school but two years with him in school realized me that he was #madeofgreat. He crossed all economical, political and social hurdles to become a teacher of a reputed school which was looking impossible at one point of time in his life. Perhaps one day he would fulfill his dream to open a school in his native village to teach his people. He was a good teacher whom I remembered even today. I don't know why I never met him again but now I think it's time to have a rendezvous with him.

An inspiring story of Mr Pathak....God knows how many would have been affected by dirty politics!
Vishal Bheeroo November 21, 2015 at 8:44 PM
What an inspiring teacher. He triumphed against all odds and armed with determination. As they say, the great doer is never a pessimist. Hope he fulfills his dream of opening a school in his village.
Rat November 22, 2015 at 3:32 PM
He sure is an inspiring teacher. I bet its an honour to study under his guidance. Great post.
Shravan November 22, 2015 at 9:33 PM
After reading your post, I can only say that Mr.Pathak is indeed #madeofgreat. Even I was lucky enough to have excellent teachers throughout my school and college who dedicated their whole life to the teaching profession.
Coming to the association of Tata Motors with Messi, it's indeed a great one. It's a pleasure to see someone great like Messi associate with Tata Motors which is one of the most respected and popular automotive company in the world. Messi has made the right choice by endorsing a company like Tata Motors. The partnership will definitely help both of them.
Nice post! Some teachers leave a permanent footprint in our hearts.
As far as Tata and Messi are concerned, I just have one thing to say, when Durability meets Excellence, the only way is 'Forward'!
very thought provoking and inspirational post. I applaud you for leaving a seat for a deserving when you could easily get to the best college. Am taking a learning from this post.

Hats off to Mr. Pathak and a heartfelt thanks to you and your writing passion. Today because of your writing passion we come to know about Mr. Pathak and how he influenced your life. You must meet him someday, I am sure he will feel proud.
Answer of your question:
Tata Motors has earned the goodwill from giving the best and innovative Automobiles and it is also known as one the best Automobile Manufactures. And if you see the Lionel Messi , his throughout dedication, zeal , targeted goal of life and technically soundness make him big, achiever and remarkable position in the world.
As per me, the association of Tata Motors and Messi is a grand amalgamation of two legendary entities of the world, and their amalgamation will definitely break down the clutters and affect the cut throat competition of Tata Motors. Tata motors will sure get a huge preference by the fans of Messi. This will sure make a record of Tata motors in the world of production or may be the highest selling automobiles.
Tata motor's main target is to give an impression on the large amount of crowd and this can be achieved only through the Messi, because the youth generation is crazy for MESSI and this can be smart move and a great achievement for Tata Motors they positioned MESSI as their BRAND AMBASSADOR .
In the nutshell, Tata Motors , Messi joining hands will definitely give more soundness in technicality of promotional strategies and Messi's influence will influence the audience for choosing Tata Motors and expand the business drastically.

Indeed a nicely written post. I wish you good luck for the contest
Here is my answer
The association of Tata Motors with Lionel Messi is that of two greats. Lionel Messi has been exceptionally talented who with his hard work, determination and sacrifices has got better and tougher in his chosen sport so is the Image, reputation and quality of TATA Motors that have transformed brilliant ideas into masterpieces of engineering and created a brand and products that we are so proud of as Indians. Lionel Messi has transformed his body and the mind body co-ordination into a masterpiece of precision and excellence it would not be wrong to say that Lionel Messi is the TATA Motors of sports where as TATA Motors is the Lionel Messi of vehicles both giants in their own spheres driven by the drive to excel and lead by example. So Lionel Messi is the best choice for becoming the brand Ambassador for TATA Motors

Your post defines #madeofgreat to the hilt. Goodluck for the contest
My answer is:
Authenticity, reliability, simplicity, as well as its commitment to innovation are the pillars of strength on which TATA have built a brand that has put India on the global map. It is a brand that has stood the test of time just like Lionel Messi who tackles opposition on the field with his skill,agility,strategy,brilliance and raw power to reach and score a goal so has been the track record of TATA motors who has become a brand leader and a global giant. These qualities make TATA Motors and Lionel Messi perfect partners who stand for the same set of values thus Lionel Messi is the perfect brand ambassador to represent TATA Motors.
Hope my best to be a winner here; do contact me for the prize at mahima2014j@gmail.com

He is inspiring. I bet, he has ignited such a spark in many others. Good luck for the contest. :)
Your post describes #madeofgreat so well that it has winner written all over it. Good luck for your entry.
Like minds think and act alike looking at the track record of TATA Motors it has stood the test of time and built a business that was built using bricks of hard work on a foundation of trust. Authenticity, reliability, simplicity, as well as its commitment to innovation are the trademarks of brand TATA Motors. These same qualities are present in Lionel Messi who with his immense talent has made a mark for himself on the international football field .Facing all hardships he has worked hard toiling on the fields and in training sessions facing injuries and pressure to come out trumps and be a winner. Thus these two greats Lionel Messi and TATA Motors are made for each other .There association is a bond of two legends

Your math teacher seems like a wonderful man! we need more teachers like him because he can shape students into becoming equally sensitive and wise! :)
Reg your question, well I feel that this partnership is perfect because Both brands have built themselves on pure excellence. they will continue to create things that will inspire all of us.. they are both #madeofgreat and being together, they are unbeatable :) Like Joseph Campbell said: A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Brilliant inspiration!

These are not mere words but a part of our soul. Not just the ones that we carry around in our individual bodies but that supreme soul that binds us all together in this universe. That is why we teach our children values and morals so that these little pockets of our souls do not die away. But when we look around at our modern day lifestyle and society,it leaves a lot to be desired, right? Wrong :) I would say,as long as we have even 1 shred of humanity left,there is a ray of sunshine and that is what we see here.
I am inspired by your story just as I am inspired by the stories of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. As I said above about humanity and ray of sunshine, it is very few icons left in this world who make me feel that way. Both Tata and Messi definitely make it to this short list.
When we talk about Tata Motors,we talk about the pride that every Indian feels because this is our truly global brand, a brand with a soul, with every product made to help us fly. This is a corporate behemoth that has not amassed its fortunes at the cost of the little man but by being a part of the very grassroots. The legacy of excellence and giving back to the society selflessly is so ingrained in Tata DNA that it has become part of folklore. Even today,in any Indian home, the moment a son/daughter gains employment in a Tata company, nobody talks about salary or CTC, they just thank their lucky stars that they are a part of Tata family. The very soul of India resides in Tata. Tata Motors has taken these very same values global, making Indians proud of what they represent. 'Look,we represent excellence, with a dollop of old world values, with love and respect' !
When we look at Messi, we see a boy with dreams in his eyes and a man who has put everything he had in making them come true, and he did! With singleminded focus,dedication and hardwork, he has managed to outdo every obstacle he faced since his birth personally, healthwise and family financial situation wise. Every obstacle became just another step for him to grow and reach up the sky. And still, every time he walks out on the field, he plays with the same agility, alarcity and a a hunger to prove himself as if it is his first game! He hasn't achieved his demi-God status without superhuman efforts.
When these two demi-Gods of their respective fields come together, there are bound to be fireworks and that is exactly what it is! Purely from a corporate point of view, there are rare instances when we see such a perfect fit form. It can be called a divine sign that a symbol of vibrancy and dynamism like no other has taken shape with the partnership of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. More than a mere advertising gambit,it is an amalgamation of those perhaps 'lost' values that the world needs more of,now more than ever. Maybe the Gods are finally happy!

Haven't been commenting but I really liked the person you have chosen to talk about. Very inspiring indeed. My parents are teachers too and my mother has a very similar story like Mr. Pathak. Great post.

Kissy started her aerial life with both feet on the floor. With encouragement from Karri, she took flight in the hoop 3 years ago and became a certified CirqFit instructor 2 years ago. Kissy's actually terrified of heights, but she overcomes her fear one foot off the ground at time! Her biggest accomplishment was competing in Aerial Arts Association- Fog City competition and placing in the the top 10; as well as competing in PSO- GGPC and placing 3rd in LV 2 Dramatic.


We had a great Memorial Day, an amazing way to start welcoming summer. We spent the day at my brother's house in Leesburg. They have a huge property with lots of room for all the cousins to run around and my brother and his wife Chelsey always put out a good spread.
The kids started out with a huge slip and slide in the front yard, old school style using painting drop cloths. When we weren't eating delicious hamburgers, all of us (myself included) spent some time jumping on the trampoline, shooting bow and arrows, having water balloon fights, etc.
It was a blast! Can't wait for another reason and excuse to spend the day up there again!
Autumn didn't quite embrace the running and sliding. It was more of a run, sit, and scoot!
We had homemade ice cream for dessert. When Autumn and Claire's were gone, they headed to the source for more - the canister.


We review the potential association between different components of ART and infertility with LBW, while acknowledging the limitations to interpretation of the existing literature.
Laxmi A. Kondapalli, M.D., M.S.C.E., Alfredo Perales-Puchalt, M.D.
Since 1978, we have witnessed a successful evolution of assisted reproductive technology (ART), with improvement of the pregnancy rates and a growing demand. However, in recent years, there has been increasing concern regarding its safety due to the potential health impact on its infants. The raise of the developmental origins of adult disease 25 has positioned low birth weight (LBW) as a significant health issue. Despite multiple studies have associated ART with LBW, the etiology of this association remains largely unknown. This paper reviews the potential association between different components of ART and infertility with LBW, while acknowledging the limitations to interpretation of the existing literature.

Here are two resource pages which hopefully will help. The first is Palm support page with an update to download for users of Outlook 2003. The second is a discussion thread of Treo users troubleshooting the same problem. Even if the PDA is different, the issue (and error code) is practically the same, Rather than cut and paste what I think is relevant, read the thread and see if one of the solutions listed helps you.
PS - What PDA, operating systems (PC and PDA) and version of Outlook are you using?
For some reason my Zire 31 won't sync with my palm desktop anymore. I have Windows 7, and successfully downloaded and installed the driver for it. My Zire battery went dead, it is not recharged, but I can't sync to my desktop to retrieve my data from the computer.

Let's Ride Southall giving out a thousand free bikes
Local people in Southall are now benefiting from free bikes, regular cycling training and maintenance thanks to a pioneering initiative launched by Ealing Council and Sport England.
Let's Ride Southall offers group riding sessions seven days a week for local residents of all abilities who want to get a bit more confident and active through cycling. It is also providing an astonishing 1,000 free bikes to participants who want to get involved.
It is all part of a key commitment by the council to expand opportunities for active travel to people in all parts of the borough.
Councillor Josh Blacker, cabinet member for healthy lives, explains: "Active travel is so important whether that is to support active and healthy lifestyles, help fight the climate crisis or to improve air quality.
"Ensuring that people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities are given opportunities and support to take part in walking, scooting and cycling is vital to do this.
"In the past, Southall might not have had the attention it deserved but, now, we are putting that right with a range of new activities and investment in the local community.
"Let's Ride Southall is a first-of-its-kind initiative for London and by providing an amazing 1,000 bikes for participating residents free-of-charge, we are ensuring everyone in the local area who wants to get more confident and experienced on two wheels can do just that.
"We are fast-tracking an ambitious active travel programme, not just in Southall, but across the length and breadth of the borough with £10million of investment in everything from new cycle lanes, school streets and bike hangers – to revamped canal towpaths and road and pathway repairs."
There are also opportunities for qualified cycle instructors and mechanics to get involved in Let's Ride Southall. Get in touch via email or telephone 079 7198 8910 for further details.
Regular DR BIKE maintenance sessions take place across locations in the borough, providing basic cycle maintenance and handy tips, with trained mechanics on-hand to carry out minor repairs on the spot. There are sessions taking place in Southall on the last Saturday of each month.
'Supporting local people to make lasting changes'
1,000 free bikes and regular training sessions are just one part of the wider Let's Go Southall programme. The huge new initiative is uniting community groups, businesses, faith groups, charities and volunteers, to offer wide-ranging support for Southall residents who want to be more physically active.
The first part of the programme has seen four free, state-of-the art outdoor gyms up and running as well as the launch of the Southall Grand Union Canal Wellbeing Way – a project to transform local towpaths and walkways to make them safer and easier for people to travel on foot and by bike.
Councillor Jasbir Anand, cabinet member for thriving communities said: "Let's Go Southall is helping residents here to stay healthy, take part in active travel, and make the most of their parks and green spaces.
"I know just how strong the sense of community is here in Southall, and that is why we are prioritising and supporting local people to make lasting changes to their lifestyles through a support network and meaningful, personal connections.
"The programme is not about simply providing new facilities or services. It is designed to empower Southall residents by providing skills, knowledge and resources – to make a lasting change, based on their priorities and needs."
A new gym designed for use by local women has been opened at Dormers Wells Leisure in Southall, ensuring that female members of the community have access to high-quality, safe and convenient facilities to exercise and keep physically active.
A new Travel in Ealing Charter was launched last month, setting out how the council will work with residents to improve local transport projects.

This book is a must-read for any design enthusiast or anyone working in the design industry whether you're practicing or collaborating.
Mr Bierut writes with wit and delight while Abbott Miller reflects that in the design. He illustrates each essay with a new typeface that plays off the content of each piece. The book will bring you new insight into design and designers although not every essay will sing with everyone. Mr Bierut generously tells us stories from his early design days and mistakes I'm sure some of us would love to experience. Sadly, the times are changed and it's not that easy to land your first job at Massimo Vignelli anymore.
Despite the ever-changing times, Mr Bierut inspires us to reflect and rethink ourselves as we turn the pages to each new typeface. Another bonus is the essays are actually short, no problem if you can't stay focused or don't have time to in your busy schedule!
Go online and order yourself a copy now because there's a waiting list at the library.


Land Rover Defender 2008, low mileage, full service history, just had a new service and MOT. Very clean for the year. Good reason for sale, I'm fed up of driving a truck. Very welcome to come along to view and test drive.


Mark (aka Storagezilla) Twomey wrote in his blog last week about copies and backups, and concluded that point in time copies are backups.
Hrmm. As I have said before, I am not sure that I agree with this.
I have discussed the issue here with W. Curtis Preston too, and I think there is a disconnect happening somewhere. I am fundamentally uneasy with the idea of calling a copy a backup. It seems to me that a copy is a necessary part of a backup, but not sufficient.
Would a tar ball be a backup? A gzip?
Again, I think the answer is, at best, "sort of".
And why do I differentiate between a copy and the tar ball?
Because I think there is not only a difference between copies and backups, but I think there is a difference between a backup and a backup and recovery system.
So lets start with fundamentals.


Congressman John Sweeney and Fort Edward Supervisor Marilyn Pulver speaking at the press conference.
This article was originally published on August 2, 2006.
On Friday, July 21, the Town Board of Fort Edward held a press conference to deny rumors that they claimed that some community members were spreading, accusing the Town Board of attempting to delay the startup of the EPA mandated dredging project.
Reading from a Press Release, Town Supervisor Marilyn Pulver spoke of two legal proceedings that the Town Board is involved in. The Town will be arguing in Federal District Court in Utica on August 2, that the proposed Champlain Canal Dewatering Facility should not be exempt from either Site Plan Review by the Fort Edward Planning Board or "any other local permits which are required for any other industrial facility in the area".
Additionally, the Town of Fort Edward will begin eminent domain proceedings to acquire the vacant land in the Fort Edward Industrial Park where the Dewatering Facility will be built.
Congressman John Sweeney was also in attendance at the Press Conference and spoke to the lack of specifics detailing compensation to be paid to the host communities for this project. Congressman Sweeney stated "Today is about standing with the little guy . . . whether it's a big corporation, or a big government agency or a political demagogue, people have to stand with you . . . we have to make sure those burdens are mitigated".
He spoke of being in negotiation with GE prior to the consent degree being signed, discussing local compensation and his disappointment at then EPA Administrator Christie Whitman for signing the degree without finalizing local compensation.
"No compensation has been granted to any of the communities for any of the massive burden. So today it's now time to call upon GE to step up to the plate, provide some compensation to the host community for Phase 1, Fort Edward. The towns' requests are legitimate and I call on GE to act in good faith with the town of Fort Edward to provide a financial host-benefit package. The Town is pursuing all routes to address their needs. They are pursing Eminent domain proceedings . . . and I support them in their efforts, singularly and most importantly because I think it is the only opportunity that the citizens of Fort Edward will have to have someone at the table . . . to protect their interests". "Be assured that neither the Town nor I stand here in an attempt to delay Phase 1".
"GE is a major player in this project they have a serious responsibility to the citizens of this town. Much as I predicted in the beginning, we have not been able to rely on EPA to understand or recognize the needs and concerns of the citizens. Our goal is to secure a financial package to the town to alleviate some of the burdens associated with dredging. The burdens of the Hudson River PCB's are only going to increase".
Marilyn Pulver, when asked for what exactly the Town was asking for in a benefits package, refused to give any specifics. Responding to a reporter's question about wheater or not the Town's Eminent Domain proceedings for the Dewatering Facility would set a precedent for other properties, Ms Pulverm smiled and said "Not necessarily".
Mark Shaptner legal council for the Town spoke at the end of the conference and confirmed that the Fort Edward is involved in acquiring the property where the Dewatering Facility will be built by Eminent Domain. The Town Board began proceedings following a public meeting on June 29th and, according to state law, have 90 days from that date to make their decision. The press release that was issued at the meeting spoke of the Town acquiring property, but never mentioned the words Eminent Domain.

Like Nothing on this Earth: A Literary History of the Wheatbelt
Tony Hughes-d'Aeth
During the twentieth century, the southwestern corner of Australia was cleared for intensive agriculture. In the space of several decades, an arc from Esperance to Geraldton, an area of land larger than England, was cleared of native flora for the farming of grain and livestock. Today, satellite maps show a sharp line ringing Perth. Inside that line, tan-coloured land is the most visible sign from space of human impact on the planet. Where once there was a vast mosaic of scrub and forest, there is now the Western Australian wheatbelt.
Tony Hughes-d'Aeth examines the creation of the wheatbelt through its creative writing. Some of Australia's most well-known and significant writers - Albert Facey, Peter Cowan, Dorothy Hewett, Jack Davis, Elizabeth Jolley, and John Kinsella - wrote about their experience of the wheatbelt. Each gives insight into the human and environmental effects of this massive-scale agriculture.
Albert Facey records the hardship and poverty of small-time selection in Australia. Dorothy Hewett makes the wheatbelt visible as an ecological tragedy. Jack Davis shows us an Aboriginal experience of the wheatbelt. Through examining this writing, Tony Hughes-d'Aeth demonstrates the deep value of literature in understanding the human experience of geographical change.

There was and probably still is an international conspiracy to attack, black PR and crush Dianetics and Scientology.
The GO never really got to the bottom of this conspiracy despite the fact that the same stories and the same pattern of black PR emerged simultaneously internationally.
We know that the GO itself was turned and so we cannot guarantee that their search was either honest or well directed.
For a long time I have looked for a source of these attacks the Church has been experiencing.
There are numerous indicators that psychologists (who are under the thumb of the psychiatrists) have mounted attacks on Dianetics and Scientology and their organizations.
psychiatrists and psychologists. It goes this way: The psychologists, to practice, have to remain under the wing and supervision of psychiatrists. Psychiatrists, to practice, have to be medical doctors and under the wing of the American Medical Association.
There are innumerable interlocking organizations, all adding up to the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association and possibly the American Psychological Association, which interlock in organizations funded by the Rockefellers. I looked into this in New York in 1973 and was absolutely astounded at the number of organizations and associations grouped in that direction. Although they deny it, the Rockefellers also own a heavy share of the American drug industry which interlocks with the American Medical Association and at one time the drug lobby in Washington interlinked with the Food and Drug Administration in those FDA attacks on the E-Meter.
The original Commonwealth attack was from the British Psychological Association in Australia. The first attack on Dianetics was engineered by the Psychology Department of the George Washington University in 1950.
Now please take the following very seriously: In all of the years from 1950 onward that I was handling attacks as Executive Director, I never failed once to establish beyond any doubt the criminality and criminal background of any attacker. It became a very stable datum with me in investigating attackers to immediately look for their criminal backgrounds. At one time, in 1954/55, there were about 21 persons who were attacking the Church and almost casually I ran the backgrounds of these down and found that 18 of them had flagrant criminal backgrounds—and by criminal I mean criminal in the eyes of the courts or law. The reason why three remained outstanding is I got tired of the investigation. The last three were never investigated.
In South Africa a primary attacker was found to be an illegal diamond buyer. So the criminal background of attackers is well established.
You would undoubtedly find that the more serious litigants against the Church have criminal backgrounds of their own.
Criminals can be directly influenced by psychologists and psychiatrists both by blackmail and implanting (which goes on all the time today) and are easily used as pawns or patsies in instigating attacks.
Based rather solidly on their psychotic nature and their actions, attackers are engaged in actual flagrant crimes. It just follows, knowing the pattern of behavior of beings, that they did not just start to act that way when they collided with us. Such behavior is a repeating pattern and there would be all sorts of, at least, false reports, crimes and other matters in their pasts.
Some attackers may have been in prison or in institutions and when they came out, may have changed their names and identities. This is based on a knowledge of what such people do. Therefore it follows that their current names may not be their real names. This could provide direction that might be followed up with private investigators.
It would be of great benefit to actually run down the core of these international attacks.
b) to run down their pasts for sure and for real to see how these interlock with any possible international conspiracy to suppress Dianetics and Scientology.
You may zero in on such a conspiracy and get to the actual instigators of the attacks. At the very least it would give you leads which would be invaluable.
Such an investigation might seem to be costly but I would think it would be very costly not to do it.
HCO Exec Ltr: Our U.S. Suits Against Newspapers on FDA Raid, Stories, etc.
SUBJECT: OUR U.S. SUITS AGAINST NEWSPAPERS ON FDA RAID STORIES ETC.
The suit which may be easiest to bring is against the newspaper publishing the FDA and other libel and slander naming in it also the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the Better Business Bureau and the clipping or press bureau that forwarded it and the charge probably best consists of "Libel and slander to forward a Conspiracy to monopolize healing in contravention of the Sherman Anti-Trust Laws" or a similar anti-monopoly act.
Scientology should not be put on trial or defended as such and this should be avoided, as evidence for such charges are inconclusive.
However the treatment of the AMA, APA, BBB (and its collusion with the U.S. government on the same subject) of the chiropractors, AMA lobbying against other healing group for pro MD legislation all add up to conspiracy easily proven.
Lots of evidence is available from the National Health Foundation and other healing groups opposed to this clique.
The BBB issues pamphlets about "Cures" and "Quacks written by the AMA.
The fact that the AMA has worked to make people think it is a government group while it is only a private company like ours can be made to tell heavily.
The Australian mess was sparked off by the continual collusion of the AMA, APA, BBB and the U.S. Consul in Melbourne to whom libel was traced some years ago.
The AMA held a huge Congress in Washington D.C., got it addressed by government leaders, and branded anyone else engaged in healing a "Quack" and has since kept this exhibit alive in Washington.
Any libel and slander around about myself or Scientology is based on a 15 year endless campaign by this group. The AMA issues "news releases" to magazines and papers vilifying us. One such went to the Diner's Club Magazine in the U.S. It is a standard "news release" as issued by the AMA.
Out of this vast fund of clippings and propaganda, "new" stories are made up from old clippings. No U.S. newspaper reported has ever interviewed me.
Only Phelan of the Saturday Evening Post Magazine did and he consulted before me hundreds of clippings he had been furnished with, not us. He did nothing but read these old clippings to me challengingly. He never asked anything about me.
The American Psychiatric Association psychiatrists have no standing under law of any kind but depend on being Medical Doctors to practice. Psychiatry has no legality whatever anywhere except a created illusion in the public mind done by advertising in covert ways and libel and slander of all mental healing groups other than those of medical doctors of the AMA.
and undue influence of governing persons and agencies by libel and slander can be proven rather easily. Full minutes are available from the National Health Foundation in Washington DC.
It has been going on about myself and Scientology for 15 years despite all evidence to the contrary. It is probably necessary to tie all this up in one suit, to include a continuing bad press and thus choke off a defense against our suit by their reading press clippings to the court.
As a side comment, before I seemed to threaten the multi-billion dollar healing empire of the AMA and APA, all my personal press was bountiful and good. It included stories of my expeditions, Hollywood successes, war successes, etc. Suddenly, after 20 years of fine personal press in U.S. papers, (1930-1950) the moment my first book on healing was published, good press became violently bad press so that in 1950 "Time Magazine devoted more space to my doings than the President" as one of my press agents once said. And it was all bad press. My book said "any two people by reading this book could help each other" and the book invaded psychosomatic medicine, which accounts for 70% of Man's ills. The change from hero to devil occurred in one day — May 9, 1950, the publication date of Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health — the runaway health best seller of all time.
But the Doctor's Shutes in Canada developing Vitamin E Therapy (curing 50% of the average doctor's income cases — heart disease) and hundreds of others have also felt the libel and slander tactics of the AMA et al.
This therefore is a field of attack crammed with evidence pointing to conspiracy to monopolize healing by one group, the AMA, extended into the APA's mental healing by reason of requiring a medical doctor's license to practice on the mind. Thus the medical doctor has it sewn up and by discreditable means seeks to extend his monopoly. Medical doctors aren't even trained in the field of the mind.
Yet, as psychiatrists they kill their patients. And adequate proof exists that medical practice is dangerous.
They excuse the monopoly by saying it is unsafe not to have one. None has ever also said it is unsafe to have one. There are many therapies besides pills and the knife. The AMA debars them all by libel and slander to maintain the monopoly of a private organization of practitioners in a multi-billion dollar healing business kept to themselves alone.
(1) That defending attorneys will quote old clippings as facts unless these are included and answered in our own charges.
(2) That the medical doctor in issuing pamphlets through the Better Business Bureau states that "anyone who says he can cure anything is a quack" and that the medical doctor states he can't cure anything — so why should he have a healing monopoly?
(5) That issues to press by the AMA and their companion medical doctor group, the APA, consisting of libel and slanderous attacks and are their means of maintaining a monopoly.
(6) That the AMA does this to all other healing groups.
(7) That neither myself or Scientology need be tried as evidence of defamation issued by the AMA exists concerning many healing groups.
(8) That the present position of monopoly of the AMA was won by such tactics.
(9) That I was never given any bad character anywhere until 1950 when I published a book threatening the profitableness of healing and threatening to break up their monopoly. It is easy to prove any charge made in the press by the AMA false. Otherwise I long since would have been put out of action.
(10) That the newspapers and clipping bureaus have uniformly forwarded AMA slander and have not ever sought or published actual interviews of myself. That all actual evidence has been carefully avoided for 15 years.
(11) That it is not necessary to refute press charges over the past 15 years but to use them to show (when attempts are made by the defense to use them) that the campaign is of long duration and is an attempt at monopoly through libel and slander.
(12) That defending against his continual attack has cost us millions and brought us near ruin in some areas and that damages should be historic.

> HOME > Mix Mastering > Mix Mastering of Acoustic Guitar + Vocal Songs
Mix mastering of acoustic guitar + vocal songs recorded only with LINE 6 Sonic Port VX
It is relatively easy to show a video performance on YouTube for a simple guitar + vocal song. However, there are a certain number of people who have a bottleneck in terms of recording and sound quality when distributing as a musical piece by subscription.
Electric musicians who use up their DAWs can expect a cool enough sound just by using the standard software sound source. However, recording acoustic instruments such as live guitars is very difficult. The simpler the performance, the more delicate recording is required, and in order to deliver with cool sound, a certain environment and some recording experience are required.
Not easy condenser microphone + DAW recording
As PCs and tablets have become cheaper, DAWs have become more widespread, and the number of condenser microphones that were once difficult to reach has increased.
However, it is not easy to learn how to operate the DAW itself and record at home where it is difficult to take measures against noise, and many people find it troublesome.
LINE6 Sonic Port VX + Acoustic Guitar
SONIC PORT VX (Sonic Port VX) is mainly recorded for the interface that has been developed for iPAD. With a built-in condenser microphone, it occupies half of the main body, and high-quality recording is possible even for acoustic guitars and songs that cannot be line-input.
The other day, I improved the sound quality of my work using this equipment. It is a cover song by acoustic guitar + vocals. The vocal level setting seemed to be unsatisfactory, and there was a slight clip (sound cracking) at the peaks of various places.
As for the guitar, it was recorded with almost perfect sound quality, no negative elements were found, and I was able to immediately start making sounds according to the music. Vocals have some problems, and I couldn't identify the cause such as noise in the whole volume besides the clip.
However, it was surprising that there was always an electrical noise called hum noise mixed in with this kind of casual style recording.
Don't you think it's quite difficult to make vocals professional?
Since SONIC PORT VX is mainly aimed at acoustic guitars, you can easily create cool sounds with the included plug-ins. However, if you record a song with it, it is difficult to finish it like a professional.
Especially for multi-track songs that are well-crafted on a DAW, if you want to create a professional-level sound source with songs and guitar, the reality is that if the sound quality of each is not very good, it will not be a good idea.
This "Hybrid Sound Reform" carefully cleans such recording materials. Polish the "sound" that you want to be a little cooler. From simple noise removal to full-scale mixing and mastering, we also offer affordable prices. It is a very kind service that you can actually work with the sound source, listen to the sound quality improvement effect, and then make a payment.
For this cover work recorded by SONIC PORT VX, we asked for MIX & mastering as a result of improving the sound quality of the original material.
Customer Feedback & Improvement Examples
I am very satisfied. It was as if we had the illusion that our playing skills had improved. I felt good. (singer)
First of all, I'm really glad I asked. Until now, it was a sound source that was not powerful no matter how loud you listened to it, but it feels good to listen to. Thank you for doing this much work at a reasonable price.
(Active copy band)
Has received a very polite of your corresponding time of this, we are very thank. I learned a lot, and I think it is very significant that not only ourselves but also specialists take care of us. For us amateurs, a service like yours that can pursue even a little good sound is very encouraging. Also, I would be happy if there is an opportunity to ask again (while paying attention to the MAX recording volume).
(Guitar & Vo Duo)
I listened carefully to the file I received. Thank you very much for your polite response to your selfish request. I'm still overwhelmed by the surprisingly low price and the difference from the quality of my work. ( mivjm )
Sound cracking trouble recorded in a three-point hanging microphone for brass band
There was a request to improve a sound source with "sound cracking trouble". "Sound cracking" that was almost impossible to repair 10 years ago. Since the digital recording era, there have been many problems during recording.
An example of repairing an unnatural limiter (breathing phenomenon) that occurs in audio when recording a video
The digital limiter operates without being able to suppress the peak volume. An unnatural breathing phenomenon occurs and the voice becomes very unpleasant.
Supporting underground idol's bonus DVD in terms of sound quality
We provided "Sound Reform" to underground idol Chiroru Hoshino. This site was originally started as a service to improve the cheapness of sound quality when recording live house performances.

Every Jonathan Davis 'Me!' Scream in Korn Songs: Supercut Video
Joe DiVita Updated: May 4, 2020
Shirlaine Forrest, Getty Images
For over 25 years, Jonathan Davis has used Korn as a vessel to express personal pain. Naturally, the word "me" appears frequently in his lyrics and one person had enough free time (who doesn't these days?) to cut up a video highlighting every single time the singer screams "Me!" across the entire Korn discography.
Every singer has their calling card — for Metallica's James Hetfield, it's a jolting, "Yeah!" and in Judas Priest, it's any high scream unleashed by the Metal God Rob Halford. Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit favors a "C'mon!" and Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson can't help imploring crowds to "Scream for me!"
For many, Korn's lyrical themes are relatable and therapeutic an Davis' tortured cries of "Me!" empower the listener as they sing along, sharing the pain while also experiencing a sense of catharsis.
If you're up for a challenge, watch the 98-second supercut video at the bottom of the page and try to name which Korn song the anguished cry is taken from as they come into play.
Korn are currently slated to co-headline a summer tour with Faith No More starting on Aug. 7. While countless tours have been canceled or postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, no decision has been made at press time regarding a potential postponement or cancelation of this run of dates extending through Sept. 17.

Super Human is the first book in Carroll's series Super Human. This series is a prequel to New Heroes.
For fans of superheroes who wish that the heroes were younger and more relatable this is the series for you.
In Carroll's world there are humans who once reaching puberty start developing powers. These people are known as super human.
With the story split between four main characters perspectives you have multiple sub-plots going at the same time. Join three super human teens, plus one con man who are drawn together to save the world when all of the adults(including super humans) are infected with a worldwide plague.
I would recommended this series for high school.

Q: Locating a weak_ptr after shared_ptr is expired I have a struct, A, objects of which are managed by shared_ptrs. Struct A holds a reference to struct B. B objects need to keep track of which A objects hold references to them, and also need to be able to return shared_ptrs to these objects. To make this easy, I'm storing a set of weak_ptrs to associated A objects inside of B. So far, so good.
My problem is that I want A's destructor to remove the reference to itself from its associcated B object. However, (what I thought was) the obvious solution doesn't work, as by the time A's destructor is called, its associated weak_ptrs are expired, making it difficult to delete from the set. Here's what I tried:
#include <memory>
#include <set>

struct A;
struct B;

struct B{
   std::set<std::weak_ptr<A>, std::owner_less<std::weak_ptr<A>>> set_of_a;
};

struct A : std::enable_shared_from_this<A>{
   B &b;
   A(B &b):b(b){};
   ~A(){
      // bad_weak_ptr exception here
      b.set_of_a.erase(shared_from_this());
   }
};

int main(){
   B b;
   std::shared_ptr<A> a1 = std::make_shared<A>(b);
   b.set_of_a.insert(a1);
   {
      std::shared_ptr<A> a2 = std::make_shared<A>(b);
      b.set_of_a.insert(a2);
   }
   return 0;
}

What is the correct way to accomplish this? I could just have A's destructor run through B's set and erase any expired weak_ptrs, but that doesn't seem clean. I could also just convert B's set to raw A pointers, and use those raw pointers to access A's shared_from_this() when needed, but I can't help but think I'm just doing something wrong.

A: Don't bother eagerly erasing elements from B::set_of_a. When you lock the weak_ptr to access the object, check if it is null, and erase then.
You can't shared_from_this after ~A has started, the A has ceased to be.

A: Since you haven't mentioned the compiler - if you are on a new enough compiler, then you could use weak_from_this (available from C++17):
b.set_of_a.erase(weak_from_this());

This would actually achieve what you want in a clean way since then you would just be comparing the actual weak_ptr instances instead of trying to create a new shared instance in the dtor, which logically fails now. Seems to work on coliru, but did not work on VS2017 (15.4.1) with C++17 enabled.
Update for curiousguy
This snippet:
#include <memory>
#include <set>
#include <iostream>

struct A;
struct B;

struct B{
   std::set<std::weak_ptr<A>, std::owner_less<std::weak_ptr<A>>> set_of_a;
};

struct A : std::enable_shared_from_this<A>{
   B &b;
   A(B &b):b(b){};
   ~A(){
      b.set_of_a.erase(weak_from_this());
      std::cout << "Size of set_of_a: " << b.set_of_a.size() << "\n";
   }
};

int main(){
   B b;
   std::shared_ptr<A> a1 = std::make_shared<A>(b);
   b.set_of_a.insert(a1);
   {
      std::shared_ptr<A> a2 = std::make_shared<A>(b);
      b.set_of_a.insert(a2);
   }
   return 0;
}

gives output:
Size of set_of_a: 1
Size of set_of_a: 0

on coliru (gcc 8).

The SSL Certificate field is for the main certificate file. This will be provided by the company issuing the SSL certificate.
The SSL CA Certificate (Trusted Authority) is also known as the CA Bundle or Cert Bundle; this is optional only if your certificate company does not provide a bundle.
The RSA Private Key field is for the RSA key we sent when you requested a CSR; please check your email for that code.
For a multi-domain SSL the fee is $25 for up to 5 domains plus $5 for each additional domain beyond the first 5.
Managed Dedicated Servers can have HostGator install any SSLs free of charge.
Renewing an SSL requires installation of the new certificate and is subject to the the installation fees above. For fewer installations, you may purchase a certificate that covers a 2 or 3 year term.
You may purchase a dedicated IP when installing an SSL. A dedicated IP costs $4 per month (or $48 per year.) Servers that do not take advantage of SNI will need a dedicated IP address to install each SSL.
The CSR is only required for issuing a new certificate. If you are renewing your certificate or if your certificate is expired, then you will need a new CSR since you will be issued a new certificate with a new expiration date.
If you do not have a matching pair, you will need to request a new CSR, then have the certificate reissued with the new CSR.

Most people don't realize that the muscles of the feet and legs are constantly working even when they're standing still. They're continually reacting and adjusting to the environment to keep the body balanced and stable.
Standing in one place is actually much harder on the feet and legs than walking or moving around in some way.
This type of muscle function causes significant foot and leg fatigue because the muscles never get a break. At least when you're walking, each muscle has a specific function and then it gets to rest as the feet alternate from step to step.
Standing for prolonged periods can cause swelling in your feet and legs.
Standing in one spot is also hard on the circulation. The blood delivers oxygen to the feet and legs very easily but then has a difficult time moving back up the legs. Getting the blood to move up the veins depends heavily on either gravity or the pumping of the calf muscles.
These are both working against you if you're standing still! After long periods of standing, blood starts to pool in the veins of the feet and legs and can cause swelling and pressure on the surrounding tissues.
Standing in one place for prolonged periods of time is notorious for causing foot and leg pain.
So, stress on the muscles and on the circulation can cause the feet and legs to become very painful with prolonged standing. This causes significant problems for those with jobs that require standing several hours per day, day after day. But, if this is you, don't despair. There are things you can do to lessen the effects of prolonged standing.
1. Walk whenever you get a chance. If you don't have to stand in the exact same spot, try to walk around a bit. Every step helps even if you're just marching in place. This stimulates circulations and gets the muscles working differently.
2. Elevate your feet at break time. Whenever you have a break, elevate your feet as much as possible for 10-15 minutes. Get gravity working in your favor to help the circulation. Also, try to elevate the feet after work and before going to bed.
3. Wear compression stockings. In the past, we almost gave up recommending compression stockings. They were difficult to get on and off and extremely unfashionable, not to mention the fact that most men would not be caught dead in "glorified pantyhose." But those days are over! Therafirm brand compression stockings, available at Foot Traffik, offer a variety of styles comfortable for everyday wear.
Advances in the technology of materials mean that compression stockings now offer the same effectiveness with lighter and thinner stockings that are fabricated in every color and design you can imagine. If you have a standing occupation, then wearing compression stockings is probably the best thing you can do to help your circulation and relieve leg pain.
4. Wear good shoes. Supportive, stable shoes are critical to those with standing jobs. They should be fitted properly for length and width and allow a bit of room for the feet to swell during the day. Shoes that are more rigid than flexible are better and they should be a bit higher in the heel than the forefoot. Also, too many people try to get the lightest shoe possible. Lighter shoes tend to have less support and that is not good for your feet.
5. Wear arch supports or custom foot orthotics. Much of the work done by the foot and leg muscles during standing is to help stabilize the body. When the foot is properly supported by an orthotic, the feet and legs are placed in proper alignment and the muscles don't have to work nearly as hard. As a result, the legs should be much less fatigued (and much less sore) at the end of the day.
Standing in one place for prolonged periods of time is notorious for causing foot and leg pain. This may be unavoidable if you have a standing occupation, but, by taking the steps above, you can reduce the effects.
Also, remember that these problems don't just affect those who work standing on their feet, but anyone who is on their feet for cooking, housework, hobbies and even shopping.
For more information about the above products visit Foot Traffik, the healthy foot and podiatry store on 3rd and Cherry Avenue in Long Beach. They carry a wide selection of supportive shoes, comfort footwear, arch supports, insoles and foot care products to relieve foot, back and even knee pain.
I have stood on cement floors for years. Within the last year my ankles have been hurting a lot during the work week. So much so I limp around. I don't work most weekends so by the end of the 2 days off my ankles feel fine again. Then its back to the same cycle during the week. Ugh. What to do??


Photo Stream automatically uploads photos you take with your iPhone or other iOS devices to iCloud. Then Photo Stream pushes, or downloads, them to the other devices and your computer. Seconds after capturing a screenshot on an iPhone, the photo shows up in the Photo Stream section under Recents as well as in Events on Macs (no cable required).
Photo Stream also uploads photos from your computer. For example, if you take photos with a digital camera, and then move them to your computer, those photos are automatically uploaded to iCloud and pushed to your iOS devices, including your iPhone.
You can view them on your iPhone for 30 days, giving you time to save a copy on your iPhone, too, if you like. Only photos uploaded after you turned on Photo Stream will be placed in Photo Stream.
The most recent 1,000 photos from all sources are stored in Photo Stream on iCloud for 30 days. As you add new photos beyond the 1,000 limit, the oldest ones are deleted.
Photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution on your Mac or Windows PC, but they're optimized for download speed and storage for your iOS devices.
On your iPhone, open the Settings app, tap Photos & Camera, and tap My Photo Stream On. You must be connected to Wi-Fi for Photo Stream to function.
On your Mac (OS X 10.7.5 or later), open System Preferences, click iCloud, and click the check box next to Photos. Click Options and check both boxes in the dialog: My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing.
Automatic Import: Photos that are pushed to the Photo Stream library on your Mac are automatically imported to iPhoto or Aperture. With this box checked, your photos are permanently stored on your computer in Events, Faces, and Places when they enter Photo Stream from another device.
Automatic Upload: All new photos are sent from your computer to Photo Stream. Deselecting this box means you manually drag photos into the Photo Stream library or select the photos and then choose Photo Stream from the pop-up Share menu at the bottom of the window.
Although Photo Stream makes sure you don't exceed the storage space on your iPhone, manually managing photos that go from your computer to Photo Stream limits the number of photos pushed to the Photo Stream library on your other devices.
On a Windows PC (7 or 8), download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Open the iCloud Control Panel and click the check box next to Photo Stream.
On Windows, the process is manual: Drag photos you want in Photo Stream from your photo management application to the designated Photo Stream folder. The default folder is C:Users<user name>PicturesPhoto StreamMy Photo Stream, which you can change by clicking the Options button next to Photo Stream in the iCloud Control Panel.


Sherman Jen, the chairman and co-CEO of Maple Leaf Educational Systems, which operates a private Chinese high school on the TRU campus, has given the university its largest ever donation of $5 million.
– $1.5 million will go to the Dr. Sherman Jen Research Innovation Fund and will support research in the faculty of science and school of education.
"These initiatives will have a transformative impact on TRU by aiding a broad cross-section of students and researchers across a number of disciplines and will also be a spark for innovation at our university," said TRU president Alan Shaver in a message to the university.
Maple Leaf Schools opened its private high school on campus in September 2016. The school teaches Grades 10 to 12. Maple Leaf Education Systems has been teaching the B.C. curriculum since 1995, but TRU's school was the first to be opened in Canada.

Q: Plug single PSU into two different power sources We have a rather uncommon situation:
We have a server in a computer center. Its got not enough spare space to put in a redundant PSU. Nevertheless, we want to attach the single PSU to both existing power sources, because it happens fairly often (in terms of uptime that is) that one of the power sources goes of for maintenance.
Is there some sort of magic black box (almost like a UPS), that can handle two power sources to output a single power cable? Is there a PSU with 2 power inputs? Any other ideas? Did I miss something?
Please Note: The solution has to fit in a rack!
Thank you all already!

While riding around a known rock bluff that usually slides naturally over waterfalls. After shutting off sleds we heard a pop up near the the slide zone where a 2-3ft storm slab broke loose sliding 150ft down the hill. Stopping in the trees below. After checking out what slide I went into the small slide to check out what it slide on. It appeared to have slide on a 6-9cm firm crust which appeared to be sun baked. What I found interesting below that layer was a crystal clear ice layer that was 2cm thick. Below the ice layer was very light density snow that bonded very well with the layers below.


Medicinal-grade cotton continued to lose popularity in Bulgaria in 2014. The unit price of medicinal and non-medicinal-grade cotton material differs significantly and allows for vast differences in pricing of products. Furthermore, medicinal-grade cotton is normally only found in pharmacies and specialised stores, whilst normal cotton is widely available across retailers, as well as sold in pharmacies. Price is considered an important reason for this ongoing change in consumer preference; however, availability and distribution are also fundamental factors.
Medica is the top player in cotton in Bulgaria. The company recorded a 5% decrease in value sales in 2014, despite which it maintained the top position with a 19% retail value share. Palomita was the second largest player in 2014, with a 12% share and a decrease of 2% in value sales. Avans, Mega Disposables, Septona and Agiva are the other substantial competitors in cotton with shares of 10%, 10%, 9% and 8%, respectively.
During the forecast period, the sales of medicinal grade cotton products are likely to stabilise. The recent decrease of such products is mostly due to changes in distribution dynamics. Therefore, it is safe to assume that they will not be sustained for longer. Despite this, it is clear that consumers prefer cheaper cotton products whenever presented with a choice, so it is safe to expect a long-term decrease of prices.

Facebook to encrypt its messaging to tackle data concerns
Zuckerberg has addressed the company's poor public image following numerous data scandals by announcing a new focus on encrypted, ephemeral communications
Big DataChief Data OfficerChief Digital Officer
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has addressed privacy concerns surrounding the company's use of data by announcing in a new blog post that it will increasingly shift away from public posts and instead move toward encrypted, ephemeral communications on its messaging apps.
Zuckerberg stated that encryption will be one of the key strategies of the social media giant's future, using "a simpler platform that's focused on privacy first".
He added that he believes public social networks will continue to be "very important" to people because of their power to connect individuals, but that the way people want to use them has changed.
"Today we already see that private messaging, ephemeral stories and small groups are by far the fastest growing areas of online communication," Zuckerberg wrote. "There are a number of reasons for this. Many people prefer the intimacy of communicating one-on-one or with just a few friends. People are more cautious of having a permanent record of what they've shared. And we all expect to be able to do things like payments privately and securely."
To achieve this new goal, Zuckerberg explained, Facebook's messaging platforms will change to look more like WhatsApp and will be built around several principles: Private interactions, encryption, reducing permanence, safety, interoperability and secure data storage.
Addressing Facebook's role in advertising for a number of companies, he added that the encrypted messaging tools will create room for new business tools, specifically in the payments and commerce sector.
The move marks a U-turn in Facebook's business model, which critics argue has been built around selling private data off to the highest bidder. This was highlighted during the Cambridge Analytica scandal which broke in March 2018 and revealed that the personal data of 50 million Facebook profiles had been harvested without the knowledge of the users.
Despite Zuckerberg attempting to display that Facebook has 'learnt its lesson' in regard to privacy, it has already faced heavy criticism for the length of time it took to respond.
1) This isn't a post I expected to read, and I wish he wrote it two years ago. Hopefully the external vision is reflected in internal moves to change product culture that informs thousands of product and engineering decisions per year. Turning a ship that large is difficult.
— Alex Stamos (@alexstamos) 6 March 2019
It has also been criticized for not addressing issues that have stemmed from WhatsApp's platform.
So FB is going to move to private, encrypted, ephemeral communications -- i.e, Snapchat. But much of the hate and violence in Myanmar, India etc. was spread via private and encrypted WhatsApp. Does that absolve FB of responsibility? https://t.co/uAN4X8v4NQ

Ayodhya bubble has burst!
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, The Milli Gazette Online
Published Online: Nov 23, 2019
Notwithstanding reservations held about the nature of the judicial verdict on the disputed Ayodhya-issue, there is no denying that what was once viewed as an electoral and communal bomb now seems devoid of almost all its political strength. Yes, even before the verdict was pronounced, common people had ceased being taken for a ride by political hype raised about Ayodhya-issue, particularly when elections were round the corner. And why not? After all, this is 2019 and not 1992 when means of communication had hardly reached the stage that they have now. December 6, 1992-events of the day when Babri Masjid was demolished were not telecast live. Means of doing so were not available then in India. And yet, that was the phase when most parts of the country were rocked by communal riots.
A decade later, Gujarat-carnage tainted India's secular image. Images of communal happenings in the state were telecast through Indian channels also. However, these did not provoke people in the rest of country to stage any communal frenzy. Rather, people opposed the happenings in Gujarat. When means of communication were fairly limited, communal disturbance over Ayodhya-issue occurred almost throughout the country. When people had access to several means of communication, Gujarat-carnage failed to spread across the country.
Clearly, the preceding point is a crucial indicator of what has seldom been given importance while analysing Ayodhya-issue as well as Gujarat-carnage. This refers to how common people, the majority of Indians—irrespective of their religious, regional and other forms of identity—view the issue being considered as a communal bomb. People, during both the phases—1992 as well as 2002—were strongly critical of the accompanying communal riots. Here, it is important to note, each and each every Indian was not involved in 1992 communal rage. Yet, to this day, impression stands as if all Indians across the country were engaged in fighting with each other.
The word "impression" has played innumerable roles regarding Ayodhya-issue. Of late, of course, "impression" created about its importance as a part of political campaign has failed to have any significant impact on voters. The "impression" created about the issue having really played a major role in helping the saffron-brigade gain political importance needs greater analysis. It cannot be denied that the issue was used as a political platform by the saffron brigade to promote its political wing, that is Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). There is, however, another side to this aspect which has not been substantially elaborated upon. And this refers to the decline of the Congress, rise of several regional parties and also of BJP taking place roughly around the same period.
If the Congress still held the dominating position, which it earlier did, prospects of rise of the regional parties and BJP may have been further delayed. This also suggests that BJP-stalwarts probably chose to start playing on Ayodhya-issue only after they became convinced about the the Congress being devoid of strong leaders. Considering that the Ayodhya-dispute had been lingering for over a century, it is rather amazing that the idea of taking out chariot-processions, etc to promote the issue among the masses did not strike the saffron brigade prior to the gradual fall of the Congress from the importance it held earlier.
The latter opportunity, that is the declining prowess of the Congress, was used by the saffron brigade to create the impression of their key agenda being construction of a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. It is possible, as suggested earlier, BJP may not have witnessed any political elevation if Congress had retained its former standing. The role played by the Ayodhya-issue in promoting BJP's campaign and that too primarily in the Hindi-belt cannot be de-linked from the decline of the Congress. It may be recalled, during 2014 and 2019 parliamentary polls, Narendra Modi did not promote Ayodhya-issue during his electoral campaign. Also, to step onto the national stage, he donned the "secular" mask during his campaign for 2014 elections. In 2019 and earlier, attempts made by the saffron brigade to play on Ayodhya-card for votes failed.
Nevertheless, the "impression" has persisted about the "importance" of the Ayodhya-issue among Indians at large. Yes, there is no denying, that the Hindu-religious beliefs regard Ayodhya as the birthplace of a primary deity of theirs whom they worship as Lord Rama. But the "impression" about it being the sole cause of BJP's political elevation needs to be corrected.
There is no denying that media seldom ignores "news" related to Ayodhya-issue. However, with majority having access to numerous means of communication, there is no guarantee that what is given substantial media coverage would bear the same importance for common people. Media-power does play a major role in creating an "impression" about an issue's importance. But the gap between impression created by media and that held by the people in general has often been missed leading to manipulated opinions at various levels about key issues, including the Ayodhya-dispute. Restraint exercised by people towards judicial verdict (November 9, 2019) only further proves that what was viewed as a communal bomb, resting on manufactured political notions, has now burst as a bubble!
