East Indians are in the Early Stages of Forming a New Power Center in America
Date: March 6, 2021Author: speculareffect 0 Comments
Indians are increasingly making themselves visible in American politics. It's kind of a weird development that no one is really commenting on, but the reality is that the higher caste Indians have an IQ on par with white people, and unlike most yellow Asians, they seem to have an interest in gaining power within white people's social order.
Most strangely is that some of these Indians are saying things that I find favorable. While there are a number of them who are just pouring into think tanks and promoting war with China in the name of their homeland, several of them have come out strongly against the Biden administration's severe and aggressive stance against China.
Ro Khanna, who comes from the Bernie Sanders sphere, is currently the most vocal critic of the Biden administration's hawkish foreign policy. While the overwhelming majority of the Democrats fall in line with it, and while AOC isn't really aware that foreign countries exist, Khanna is giving interviews denouncing this plan to start a third world war.
He recently gave an interview to Business Insider, which dealt primarily with the international aggression of Joe Biden's Jewish war machine:
INSIDER: As the new administration settles in, what are your biggest foreign policy concerns and what's on your wishlist?
Khanna: First thing we have to focus on is ending the war in Yemen. The administration has taken constructive steps by announcing that we won't be complicit in any offensive Saudi bombing or strike into Yemen. But there is more that needs to be done.
We should be very clear that there should be non-interference between any of the powers in Yemen. The civil war in Yemen was going on before the Saudis intervened, and so the Saudis and UAE need to stop providing any funding. Iran needs to stop providing any funding or interfere there.
The facts on the ground haven't changed. The bombing is continuing. The threat of famine is still there.
It's a huge achievement that we are no longer complicit. But our complicity over the last five years makes us responsible for trying to actually get peace there, not just washing our hands of it. And so that's a big part of it.
We need a thoughtful strategy on China, which doesn't just default to a new Cold War paradigm that fuels anti-Asian xenophobia. We have to be tough on certain economic issues, but we also have to recognize that it's going to take cooperation on climate change, on pandemics. How we strike that balance and how we continue to lead in critical technologies — that's going to be a very important.
Q: Following Biden's massive decision to end US support the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, what's next for the US-Saudi relationship?
Khanna: There has to be a cessation of funding on Yemen and there has to be a lifting of the blockade. There has to be accountability for Jamal Khashoggi's murder. They're in a very precarious position. The Hill wants to reexamine the relationship, Biden wants to reexamine the relationship.
Their strategic value is not as high with our relative energy independence, and move towards pushing for renewable energy.
There's going to be a large expectation that they reform.
Q: The US was the first to abandon the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), but the Biden administration says that Iran must now take the first move by stopping uranium enrichment. What's the risk that this will backfire, perhaps spectacularly?
Khanna: My belief is, there were 102 kilograms of [enriched] uranium when Trump took office, there are now 2.5 tons of uranium. And if we do nothing, the default situation is benefiting Iran.
The maximum pressure campaign hasn't worked, and I see no downside to saying, "OK we're going to get back into the JCPOA. We're going to suspend the sanctions. And then if Iran cheats, we're going to snap them right back on."
What harm is there? Whereas if we continue to play a game of chicken, the risk is that Iran goes nuclear in the next few years instead of by 2030-something — which is what the JCPOA was trying to push it out until.
Q: Would you support the Biden administration embracing a path where the US and Iran come back into compliance with the deal simultaneously?
Khanna: That strikes me as a reasonable way forward.
Q: Do you think that the US has leaned too heavily on sanctions in attempting to influence foreign crises, such as the recent Myanmar coup?
Khanna: Sanctions can be an important tool in the US foreign policy toolkit to hold repressive regimes accountable on human rights abuses short of using military force.
They must be narrowly crafted, however, to target the offending parties rather than hurt the civilians living in that country, who are often times supportive of the US and at no fault of their regime's policies. Time and time again we've seen civilians bear the brunt of devastating and indiscriminate broad economic sanctions.
It's welcome news that the Biden administration is conducting a review of the impacts of US sanctions.
Q: Are you concerned that much of Biden's early foreign policy is designed to deflect GOP criticism, such as not moving more swiftly to return to the JCPOA or not immediately scrapping Trump era tariffs on China?
Khanna: We have to give them least six months to make some progress.
A new president deserves a chance to succeed. He deserves a chance to get his policies implemented.
Now six months or a year from now, if things haven't moved in a positive direction, then you're going to have people speaking out.
But there's definitely a sense among progressives that our new president deserves a chance to succeed and has taken some constructive steps.
Q: The US-Turkey relationship appears to be in deep trouble. How can the US reverse the growing rift?
Khanna: They've always been an important ally. We want to maintain that alliance, but have it grounded in human rights. We can't abandon the relationship with Turkey. We have nuclear weapons there.
Q: In terms of foreign policy, is there any issue that's not getting the attention it deserves?
Khanna: We have to think in a bigger picture of a multiracial America that we're becoming.
Moving towards a foreign policy that is human rights-centered, and that recognizes the dignity and aspirations of people around the world. That moves away from a foreign policy that's based on simply balance of power, conquest, or acquisitiveness, and moves towards, what is in my view, the true American ideal: A foreign policy that has supported freedom, that has supported the dystrophy of tyranny, that has actually been on the side of de-colonization.
So, I mean – whatever.
I think these people need to go back.
Yet, as an observer, it is an interesting development that Indians are beginning to throw their weight around in America.
In reality, we are not ever going to get these people out of our country, and the only possibility of saving America is going to be secession. There is simply no realistic path to removing the sheer numbers of them that are here now.
I guess if Indians are going to start challenging Jəws, that's good? I guess?
There is an Indian on "The Hill" YouTube show who got really aggressive with Wall Street Jéws recently, and appeared on Tucker Carlson and was played on Joe Rogan. I forget his name.
"Saagar Enjeti" is his name.
He also went after Jeffrey Epstein, and the Jêws surrounding him.
An Indian-British billionaire also came out in support of reddit during the r/WallStreetBets GameStop ordeal. If you look around, you'll see a bunch of them, coming at the Je
Jëws from different angles.
Like, it's very clear: these Indians, being that they are not subject to political correctness, have identified Jews as the power center in America that they would be competing with if they wanted to seize control of the country.
They're very clearly targeting centers of Jewish power, both from the left and from the right. This is very different from the Nikki Haley and Dinesh D'Souza strategy of just cozying up to Jews and working for them.
As white people clearly have no interest in controlling their own country, I guess it is reasonable enough that Indians are swarming to grab the reins.
Obviously, Indians will use a Jewish style of nepotism to achieve power, and it is clear that they don't have the sadism that Jews have (them just turn the nation, more into a third world caste system dump). So, maybe we should welcome our new overlords?
I jest.
I'm just telling you as a matter of fact: you cannot make white people care.
I've tried. I have seen many attacked and destroyed by their own fellow white people for doing so.
White people are simply too weak and too pathetic to run anything. Most choose to rest on their laurels (the accomplishments of their ancestors) and refuse to reinvent themselves.
The fighting spirit of white people died in a bunker in Berlin in 1945, navy would say.
I think it died way sooner than that: when they gave white cunts the right to vote.

The natural earth and mineral artists quality powder pigments used in all our paints provide a beauty and purity of colour rarely achieved in modern paints.
Distempers are permeable paints made to traditional recipes, technically appropriate for use in traditional buildings, as they are permeable and allow the masonry to breathe. They are water based paints for internal use supplied as 'soft', 'casein-bound' and 'linseed oil-bound'. Casein and oil-bound distempers are more wipeable and are therefore more often used on walls, with soft distemper normally reserved for mouldings and ceilings.
Flat Oil is a wipeable matt oil paint used on internal panelling and low-usage joinery. It is not a permeable paint and rarely used on plasterwork.
Eggshell is a wipeable mid-sheen paint for internal woodwork and joinery. Supplied as both oil and water based, they are not permeable paints and should not be used on plasterwork.
Permeable matt emulsion is a modern paint formulated for opacity and permeability, suitable for use in traditional buildings but not where there are high levels of moisture. We also produce a vinyl matt emulsion and an exterior grade emulsion, neither normally used for the decoration of older buildings.
All paints comply with current environmental legislation.
Our distempers, permeable emulsions and oil paints are currently being used for the redecoration of Knole House in Kent, and St Paul's Covent Garden (The Actors Church).


Rely on the owner's manual to check when its best to know what's best for your car. But of course the more frequently you check can potentially prevent possible problems for your car.
In order to check your transmission fluid, you must first locate the dip stick and wipe it clean. Its not necessary to look at the level when you first pull it out.
Make sure you turn on the engine briefly, in order be sure the measurement is accurate. After taking out the dip stick then wipe it with a clean cloth, and return it into place. Then pull it out, just as you would when checking your oil levels.
Look for the level, generally there will be a line which will tell you whether the fill point is at a safe point. If not you must fill it just as you would oil, but it takes much less transmission fluid than it does oil.
Checking your manual transmission fluid requires a little more work. There is a plug in the transmission you have to remove. Generally you can stick your finger in and check it. If it is covered, then there is enough. But you check your owner's manual for when to change it. Most say that you should change it every thirty thousand miles. But check it to be sure. The color, like your oil well tell you when to change it.
You should always count on the fact that prevention can avoid problems in the future. Of course the better maintained you car is the better the resale price. An older car needs especially to be constantly maintained, especially, if you use it a great deal. Its most important that you take charge of maintaining your own car. An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure.
Whoever wishes to buy a used car will look for the small things that make the difference in a good car and one the may forever cause problems to the next owner. So don't pass on your lack of good car care to others.

Many options Intentionally make a closed system, which is tedious to maneuver away from once you get started. But with a stage called Ecwid, you no longer need to worry about this. In fact, the entire aim of the company, which began in 2009, is to quickly and quickly make an online store system on your existing websites.
This increased my Attention, because I know the struggles that come along with trying to migrate websites, particularly in regards to ecommerce. So, I needed to put together a comprehensive review of this Ecwid system to see whether it's worth the time.
It's quite Impressive what Ecwid has achieved since 2009, with over 1 million merchants getting signed up. What's even more cool is that the Ecwid retailers span over 175 distinct countries, demonstrating that this is not only a platform for most people in the US or Europe. Even companies in developing nations have a chance to get an online store heading, and you do not even have to trash your previous website in case you have one.
The usership Continues to grow, particularly considering Ecwid is now PCI DSS Level 1 certified. If you are not certain what that is, it's pretty much the gold standard for security in the ecommerce world. You can rest easy knowing you and your clients' data is safe and secure.
In addition to The total merchant count, over 20,000 active users are utilizing the Ecwid Shopping Cart for WordPress. The difference between that 20,000 along with the 1 million is the fact you don't require a WordPress site to implement Ecwid. So, the 20,000 simply refers to WordPress users with the plugin.
Ecwid is a hosted Alternative for building an internet store. Unlike competing products such as Shopify, Bigcommerce and Volusion, which allow you to build a new site with e-commerce performance, Ecwid is targeted more towards people who currently have a site and simply want to add an online store to it.
Much like other E-commerce programs, Ecwid lets you set up'catalogs' of products, and include photographs, pricing, weight etc. . each. You are able to specify shipping prices, accept credit card payments etc — all the key stuff that you'd expect to be able to do with an e-commerce solution.
However it differs Apart from competing products such as Shopify, Volusion, Squarespace and Bigcommerce in that it isn't actually designed to allow you to create a fully-featured, standalone e-commerce site; rather, it's designed to enable you add an internet store to an existing online existence.
The Product operates by providing you a widget which gets put on other websites — hence the title Ecwid: it is short for'E-commerce Widget'. You receive a few lines of HTML code (the widget) to add to an existing website or social networking profile, and your shop is displayed wherever you've inserted this code.
Ecwid makes Strides in the market by catering to companies which don't need to start a brand-new site. The main attribute is that you can take your old site and immediately integrate the Ecwid system within a couple of minutes.
You can also Mirror the system onto various different sites if you plan on selling elsewhere online. Manage all of these websites from one place rather than switching between multiple dashboards.
Another pleasant Feature is the syncing between multiple devices. Sell on-the-go together with your smartphone. This means that you can go to a tradeshow to make a few sales and all of these sales are reflected onto the back part of your website.
The system is Also made to integrate well with social networks, so you may sell your things on Facebook if desired. 1 part of Ecwid that we especially enjoy is the delivery aspect. With real-time transport integrations you constantly know what is happening with your requests and where they're being sent to.
Thank you To Ecwid's point-of-sale (POS) performance, you may use your Ecwid store to sell not just online but in physical locations too — in stores, market stalls, at concerts and so forth.
Together with Ecwid's POS Performance, irrespective of if or not a customer buys a product in shop, online, on their phone or through Facebook, everything remains in sync – i.e., the retailer's catalog, inventory and customer / trade info.
There is a couple of ways that you can use this attribute: the easiest is likely to use'Paypal Here.' This involves downloading the Ecwid iOS app from the Apple's App store, connecting it to the Paypal Here service, and then taking payments using a mobile card reader (pictured above).
You've got two options when it comes to POS Hardware and Paypal This: you can buy a processor and swipe reader (for $24.99) or a chip and also tap reader (for $79.99). Both may be ordered straight from Ecwid.
If you are located outside The US / UK, or need to work with another mobile device kind, the fantastic news is that Ecwid also functions with all the Vend, Clover, NCR Silver and Square POS systems. These all facilitate utilizing a larger selection of hardware in a physical retail location (full-sized card readers, receipt printers, cash drawers tablet stands etc.) and are usable in more countries.
Although you can avail Of the Paypal Here POS option on all paid-for programs, you will need to be to the most expensive'Unlimited' plan if you want to avail of a Vend, Clover, NCR Silver or Square admin.
Ecwid Storefronts are responsive, meaning that they will display correctly across apparatus — desktop, tablet and mobile. In a age where smartphone internet surfing is eclipsing desktop surfing, this is vital.
Granted, it is a fairly Basic plan, where attributes like discount vouchers and support are not available, and it merely allows you to sell up to 10 products in 2 categories — but this may really be adequate for some customers, and using it's a good way to try the system out.
However, A vital point to notice about the free plan is that it is not good from an SEO point of view — you need to be on a paid plan to ensure that your product pages speak to hunt engines correctly (more on SEO under ).
Ecwid is forward of the Pack in that its storefronts could be mechanically translated into nearly 50 distinct languages — clients can see your store in their own language, without you needing to worry about producing alternate versions of it. Ecwid provides this functionality by discovering visitors' language mechanically based on their browser preferences / IP address.
Competing products like Shopify And Bigcommerce are yet to supply this type of functionality — that they force you to rely on third party apps, the production of multiple shops or Google Translate to supply different language variations of your shop, which is less than perfect. So a definite win for Ecwid here.
Search engine Optimization (SEO) in Ecwid is a pretty straightforward affair. You can edit the title of your page and its meta description; the relevant fields are pre-populated for you automatically, but you can tweak them to match your search engine optimization objectives.
1 area where Ecwid doesn't perform so Well on the search engine optimization front involves AMP — accelerated mobile pages. As the name suggests, AMP pages load quicker on cellular devices. This encourages people to remain longer on your page, thus increasing'live time' –something which is believed by many SEO experts believe to be rewarded by Google with preferential treatment in search results. Additionally, Google occasionally highlights AMP pages in carousels in search results, providing AMP content an extra little boost.
The Export option permits you to export merchandise data, orders and customers (again, in CSV format) and means that if you feel the need to migrate your store to a different e-commerce platform, then you shouldn't have some significant problems doing so.
WordPress doesn't Supplied any e-commerce functionality from this box, so anybody wanting to market on the stage will need a third-party alternative like Ecwid. There is an Ecwid plugin available, therefore adding an Ecwid shop to your WordPress site is quite straightforward — you can get up and running with a couple clicks.
Squarespace comes with Increasingly good e-commerce attributes, but the number of payment gateway options is very limited — you need to use Stripe or Paypal. (And using Stripe only functions if you are selling products from particular countries). The other main issue with the built-in Squarespace marketing tools is that they don't facilitate dropshipping, and full export of products isn't currently possible.
As With Squarespace, there is currently no dropshipping choice for Wix users, therefore again Ecwid can provide a fantastic workaround. A dedicated program is provided by Ecwid to enable you integrate the item on a Wix shop easily.
Ecwid provides a pretty Restricted number integrations with other well-known apps. Integrations do exist together with services Mailchimp, Xero and Freshbooks; but to be honest the range of integrations could be more extensive — competing goods like Shopify offer a much broader range of apps. Notable omissions from the Ecwid store comprise Quickbooks and Zendesk, for example (that said, a Quickbooks integration is coming soon).
Ecwid's Interface is pretty user friendly. Like many similar online shop builders, you receive a vertical menu on the left which allows you to access key performance, and the area on the right can be used to edit or display related products, site reports and content.
If You're stuck however, you can always get in touch with Ecwid's support team — more on that later — or, even if you're on a'Business' or'Unlimited', you are able to make the most of this included customization support (you get 2 hours and 12 hours personalization time from Ecwidon these plans).
I'm not a Lawyer, so please note the below observations shouldn't be interpreted as legal information, but I'm planning to do my very best to spell out a number of the key GDPR problems facing Ecwid users under.
With the introduction of That the EU's new GDPR legislation, there are several legal measures that website owners now should take to ensure they are adequately protecting EU customers' and visitors' privacy. There are serious financial penalties for not doing this (to the point where it is typically a great idea to consult a lawyer on what to do); and even if your business is not based in the EU, then you still need to obey the regulations where any website visits from the EU are concerned.
Nowout of the box at There is not a means to deal with the cookie consent issue with Ecwid. Nor is there a decent program available from the Ecwid app store (the only option on front that I can locate, the'EU cookie banner', doesn't seem to supply the essential functionality — even though costing $1.99 a month to use).
It Seems to me that the only alternative available to Ecwid users is to use a professional product like CookiePro, which will provide all the essential functionality to make cookie approval fully GDPR compliant. Despite being a powerful product nonetheless, Cookiepro does require quite a great deal of configuration and you'll want to put quite a lot of time aside to set it up.
I Truly like The simple fact that you can run a web site without paying for anything. This makes the installation process that much easier, since you simply have to punch in your email and make a password to proceed right to the backend port.
The machine has Wizards for each platform that you would like to place your shop on. If you've got a WordPress site, simply walk through three steps to get up and running. You can also click on options like Facebook and Joomla, depending on where you want to sell.
The backend Design is perfect, because it walks you through every website creation and integration step with a few nice text and photos. As soon as you obtain your shop implemented on a site or societal page it looks fairly slick.
The design Depends upon the subject you have on your website, but as you can see below, it shows photos well and looks clean and simple to navigate. I particularly enjoy the Shopping Bag area, which is outstanding and easy to find for customers when they want to market.
Though many Websites will be mobile friendly, its nice understanding that Ecwid includes a native shopping application for both iOS and Android. Merchants now receive a native shopping application for iOS and Android.
The closing Design item that makes sense to mention is your vocabulary tool. Since running an online store generally requires you to reach out to people from all over the world, you are bound to stumble upon a few customers who would like to read product pages and other content in their native language. Ecwid supports 45 languages, so if a user wants to translate from English to Spanish, that's no problem in any respect.
Some of the apps Will give you a hand with reviews and rating, rewards programs, automated advertising tools, analytics, customized layout themes and more.
Ecwid is a Third party remedy to your current website, so you would normally need to implement additional SEO and marketing tools to truly get out the word. Nevertheless, Ecwid supplies quality SEO features to help retailers increase their visibility in Google searches.
Moreover, Google now indexes AJAX websites, therefore all Ecwid shops are indexed by Google with no extra effort. It gets better with WordPress websites, as you gain access to additional search engine optimization plugins and the default search engine performance on the dashboard.
Each measure is Clear and concise, so you can just go in there and sort in a product name, price and image then save the product for later. Of course you can always open up the More Powerful Options, but they separate these for when you are ready to get started ramping up your store.
It's not necessarily Easy to find an ecommerce platform which does not charge fees, but that's exactly what you get with Ecwid. They never charge any sort of trade fee with any of the programs they provide, which makes it desirable for any shop that is trying to keep down costs and to improve margins.
Keep in mind that Ecwid is not a payment processor, which means you've got to setup something such as PayPal or Stripe to process all of the trades that come through your website. It is rather simple to implement these systems, since Ecwid incorporates with over 40 global payment choices. However, each one of these processors have their particular trade fees so you need to get ready for these.
· The'starter site' option is a fantastic stopgap measure for merchants who want a shop fast, but have yet to develop a complete website in order to bring the Ecwid widget to.
Ecwid comes With four plans, among which is totally free. They promote the free plan like crazy, and mention that a number of other platforms drag you into a free trial, where you will eventually need to pay.
The Free program Lets you sell 10 products, while the Venture plan ups that count to 100 products and you get things like an iPhone management app. The company plan goes up to 2500 products for a superb price and you get live chat service. Priority support comes alongside the Unlimited program and you can also market an unlimited amount of merchandise.

A citywide arts engagement project is being launched in Leeds to help strengthen relationships between community groups and the cultural sector.
Arts Together Leeds aims to make it easier for community groups to get involved with the wide variety of visual arts, music and live performances that take place in Leeds. It will also allow expertise, skills and resources to be shared between arts and community groups. The project - the first of its kind in the country - is being led by Opera North and supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, which has donated £120,000 over three years. The funding will make the arts more accessible to those who encounter barriers to getting involved with cultural activities.

Dick Vaughn's Moribund Music Of The '70s is a collection of recordings edited from a wealth of material broadcast on KPFA's Over the Edge radio show, hosted by Don Joyce weekly and featuring members of Negativland, as well as material recorded at a Live Negativland show just after the "U2 Scandal."  The recordings are broken up into two discs, and within that contain bits and pieces of many different Over The Edge Shows.

Everything centers around one recurring character that has made many appearances on Over The Edge, that of radio personality Dick Vaughn, played by Richard Lyons. Track 1 of Disc 1 is taken from a recording that was played to live audiences during the tour that took place just after the U2 Scandal.  Tracks 2 - 9 are taken from "The California Superstation" broadcast, a parody of corporate radio which had some listeners convinced KPFA had actually undergone a format change. This was also hosted by Lyons as Dick Vaughn, and performed with Negativland's typical tongue-placed-in-cheek.  Tracks 10 & 11 are snippets taken from other Dick Vaughn pranks, in both cases involving other people's radio shows.  Tracks 12 & 13 of Disc 1, and Tracks 1 - 6 of Disc Two are taken from the "Moribund Music Of The '70s" show, in which Dick Vaughn begins the first-ever "'70s Nostalgia" broadcast, complete with authentic 1970s radio gimmicks, commercials, and the usual Negativland sense of humor.  Tracks 7 - 10 of Disc two are all taken from different shows, and feature commentary on the "Moribund" show, another classic Dick Vaughn prank, and a 15 Minute excerpt from the "Dick Is Dead" show.  Finally, Tracks 11 & 12 are taken from a live Negativland performance, and includes the complete tape that opens the CD.

Originally released in 1990 by SST Records on cassette only, it was re-released in 2001 by Negativland's own label, Seeland Records, as a CD. The CD version contains material not included on the original release, and also omits and rearranges some material from the original.

Navy powers on
By Azaraimy HH
The Royal Brunei Navy (RBN) has enhanced its sea power capability with yesterday's commissioning of recently-acquired Darussalam class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) - named KDB Darussalam and KDB Darulehsan - for a more modern naval platform to defend the country's waters.
His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, who is the Minister of Defence and Supreme Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces consented to preside over the commissioning ceremony at the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Jetty in Muara yesterday.
The Ministry of Defence stated that the acquisition and commissioning of the two modern armed vessels signalled a significant development in the Defence
White Paper to modernise the Royal Brunei Navy with knowledge and assets. The two Darussalam-class OPVs are the first of its class for the world-renowned German shipbuilder and the RBN.
A third Darussalam class OPV, 'KDB Darulaman', is still on its way for commissioning some time this year.
Measuring 80 metres in length and 13 metres wide, the Darussalam-class OPVs are diesel-powered armed vessels and equipped with BOFORS 57mm gun and 40mm Exocet missiles.
The modern naval platform can launch out a 'Rigid Inflatable Craft' (RIB) from the rear and provide a landing platform for helicopter (helipad) on board for day and night.
The commissioning ceremony yesterday began with the arrival of His Majesty the Sultan at the RBN jetty, greeted by Deputy Minister of Defence, Dato Paduka Hj Mustappa bin Hj Sirat and the Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, Major General Dato Paduka Seri Haji Aminuddin Ihsan bin Pehin Orang Kaya Saiful Mulok Dato Seri Paduka Hj Abidin.
After a royal salute, His Majesty the Sultan inspected the Guard of Honour, before proceeding aboard KDB Darussalam and KDB Darulehsan for the commissioning.
His Majesty first came onboard KDB Darussalam. On the deck, surah al-Fatihah was recited by Lt Colonel (U) Haji Abdur' Rahim bin Haji Abdul Karim, Head of Religious Department at the Royal Brunei Armed Forces.
His Majesty was then briefed from Lt Colonel (L) Hj Mohammad Yusuf bin Masron, the Commanding Officer of KDB Darussalam. His Majesty the Sultan then handed over a Commissioning Pennant to the Commanding Officer of KDB Darussalam.
His Majesty also consented to sign the 'Maiden Voyage' and received a 'Pesembah', which was a 'Ship's Cap'.
His Majesty the Sultan then proceeded to the commissioning of KDB Darulehsan. On board, after the recital of surah al-Fatihah, His Majesty was briefed by Commanding Officer of KDB Darulehsan, Lt Colonel (L) Zil Husam bin Abdul Rahman.
His Majesty the Sultan then handed over the Commissioning Pennant. His Majesty the Sultan also toured KDB Darulehsan and sat for a 'Santap' on board, before signing 'The Maiden Voyage' and receiving the 'Ship's Caps'.
His Majesty also consented to try out the 'Rigid Inflatable Craft' from KDB Darulehsan. After the commissioning of KDB Darussalam and KDB Darulehsan, His Majesty the Sultan continued to visit KDB Afiat - which is one of four 41-metre Ijhtihad-class Fast Patrol Boats. - Borneo Bulletin (14th May 2011)

Most people want to write an essay that will impact the reader. When you research essay topics, hopefully you will come up with something that will interest and teach the reader at the same time. One of those compelling topics is the subject today. Leadership is defined as the ability to lead others toward a chosen goal. The best leaders are those who inspire others to follow them. In the military, officers are automatically followed, due to their rank. It's a matter more of courtesy and necessity than personality. However, personalities play a big part in military leaders. Defined goals, clear orders and the willingness to take responsibility are the marks of a good leader, but in the military and civilian realms. This makes an essay on leadership an interesting choice.
History is replete with leaders of all sorts. From the heroes of the Bible like Daniel as he faced the lions to David as he fought Goliath, their heroism was the basis for their leadership. Their bravery and faith inspired others to follow their example. Jesus Christ was the best example of leadership, because his followers were voluntary and after two thousand years he still leads millions of people.
Another example of leadership is a person who stands for something that others agree with. General Robert E. Lee was both a military leader and inspired followers who believed in states rights above the federal government. General Robert E was a leader on the other side and inspired his followers because they agreed with him that the federal government should be in charge. Both men literally led their armies, riding into battle and sharing the hardships with their troops. Strong leadership was a quality they both shared.
Other leaders have gotten into their position due to enthusiastic speeches and self promotion. An essay on leadership does not always have to show the great side of the role, it can also encompass the horrible tragedies as well. Adolph Hitler is a prime example of this sort of leadership. He was able to take over Germany on the promise of repairing the sinking economy. World War One had left Germany in a shambles and his promise to raise them back to power and prosperity appealed to the masses. Incrementally, he was able to assume complete control, turning "leadership" into "ownership", and left Germany worse off than before he took command.
Some in leadership are born into it. There have been kings all through history who were leaders simply due to their parentage. Not all were wise or accomplished leaders. Some destroyed their countries and some prospered. History is loaded with examples of royalty and their leadership. Depending on essay length, an essay on leadership can be about one situation or it can be incorporate both the good and the bad in history. It would be perfect for an analytical essay.
In today's world, leaders are necessary as they have always been. In an emergency, most people don't know what to do. They panic, fall apart, freeze up or dissolve into hysterics. A life and death situation, such as an airplane crash or earthquake will bring forth leaders from the most unlikely people. Knowing what to do, how to escape and remain calm are the most important factors. From the fictional "Poseidon Adventure" to the terrible reality of September 11, 2001, there were those who led the way to safety and enabled survivors to escape.
Essay on Leadership 9.7 of 10 on the basis of 3379 Review.

Otok Egmont (također poznat kao Atol Egmont,) je nenaseljeni atol pod upravom Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Ovaj atol je jedan od rijetkih nastalih koraljnih atola koji čine otočje Chagos, Britanski teritorij Indijskog oceana.

Ovaj mali atol nalazi se manje od 10 km južno od jugozapadnog ruba potopljenog koraljnog grebena Veliki Chagos. Njegova ukupna površina, uključujući lagunu i rubni koraljni greben, je 29 km2. Ukupna površina kopna je oko 4 km2. Najbliži otok je otok Danger na obali Great Chagos, manje od 30 km sjeverno.

Dva su prolaza u lagunu duž sjevernog ruba, Fausse Passe na sjeveroistoku i širi prolaz na sjeverozapadu. Otoci Egmont jedno su od omiljenih mjesta za sidrenje putujućih nautičara koji prolaze kroz Chagos.

Otoci
Najveći otok je "Île Sud-Est" (Istočni Egmont), na kojem se nalazilo naselje, površine 1,5 km². Dok je "Île Lubine" slične veličine, ostali su otočići manji. Svi su otoci prekriveni kokosovim drvećem. Svi pojedinačni otoci nalaze se na južnom rubu koraljnog grebena. To su, od jugoistoka prema sjeverozapadu:

 Île Sud-Est (Jugoistočni o.)
 Île Takamaka (Takamaka)
 Île Carre Pate (Kvadratni o.)
 Île Lubine (Lubine)
 Île Cipaye (Cipaye)
 Île aux Rats (O. štakora)

Zapadno od Ile aux Rats nalazio se otočić poznat kao "Otočić sa štakorima" () koji se u međuvremenu spojio s Ile aux Rats. Ile Cipaye se također piše 'Sipaille' i 'Cipaille'. Isle Carre Pate također se piše 'Carpathe'. Na nekim pomorskim kartama Ile Takamaka se piše kao 'Tattamucca'.

Povijest
Ile Sudest, najveći otok, prvi put je naseljen u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća, u vrijeme kada su ostale atole Chagosa naselili Francuzi.

Zapovjednik Robert Moresby napravio je pregled ovog atola i ucrtao ga na kartu 1838. godine. U to je vrijeme na ovom atolu bila plantaža kokosa. Izgrađen je nasip koji je povezivao otoke i izvršeno je vraćanje izgubljenog zemljišta. S vremenom su se neki od otoka međusobno spojili.

Otoci Egmont više nisu bili naseljeni u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća, u vrijeme kada su Chagosanci ili Ilois iseljeni s Chagosa.

U periodu 1972.–73. britanske oružane snage su izvele podvodnu ekspediciju na Egmontsko otočje . Predvođena vođom Sqn-a "Dickiejem" Birdom RAF-a, bila je to prva ekspedicija takve vrste u Chagosu. Alan Baldwin RN bio je zamjenik voditelja, a znanstveni rad se odvijao pod vodstvom dr. Davida Bellamyja. Njegov je cilj bio proučavanje formiranja i rasta koraljnih grebena, kao i flore i faune otoka. RFA Gold Ranger odveo je članove ekspedicije iz atola Gan, atol Addu, na atol Egmont, a nakon što je istraživanje završeno, RFA Stromness ih je vratio u Gan. Nakon uspjeha, iduće je godine poduzeta druga ekspedicija na otok Danger.

Una Voce Federation Press Release on Abdication
Received today.
The Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI.
International Federation Una Voce.
The news that Pope Benedict XVI will leave the Chair of Peter on the last day of February 2013 was received with sadness by the members of the International Federation Una Voce.
Our founder President, Dr Eric de Saventhem, and his successor, Michael Davies, were always welcomed in Rome by Cardinal Ratzinger who was very supportive of the aims of the Federation in promoting the traditional liturgy and restoring the traditional Mass once more to the altar. The unwavering trust of our former Presidents was vindicated soon after the election of Cardinal Ratzinger to the Papacy in April 2005.
The promulgation of the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, in July 2007, just over two years into his pontificate, was the act of a Pope who displayed courage in the face of great opposition. In the introduction to the motu proprio Pope Benedict said:
"Since time immemorial it has been necessary – as it is also for the future – to maintain the principle according to which 'each particular Church must concur with the universal Church, not only as regards the doctrine of the faith and the sacramental signs, but also as regards the usages universally accepted by uninterrupted apostolic tradition, which must be observed not only to avoid errors but also to transmit the integrity of the faith, because the Church's law of prayer corresponds to her law of faith.
Among the pontiffs who showed that requisite concern, particularly outstanding is the name of St Gregory the Great, who made every effort to ensure that the new peoples of Europe received both the Catholic faith and the treasures of worship and culture that had been accumulated by the Romans in preceding centuries. ….It is known, in fact, that the Latin liturgy of the Church in its various forms, in each century of the Christian era, has been a spur to the spiritual life of many saints, has reinforced many peoples in the virtue of religion and fecundated their piety."
The immense courage of Pope Benedict XVI in declaring publicly what so many knew, but were either reluctant, or fearful of expressing, that the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962 had never been abrogated and that this form of Mass was permissible, has brought, and will continue to bring, abundant graces to Holy Mother Church and future generations. With the wealth of teaching bequeathed to us, this clarification of the position of the traditional liturgy within the Church by Pope Benedict, was a most historic contribution to the Magisterium of the Church in reaffirming the link in worship of generations past to generations of the future. The usus antiquior of yesterday, is now of today, and will be of tomorrow. The second flowering of the usus antiquior does indeed bring joy to our youth. Its miraculous spread and increase, of which Pope Benedict has been the providential instrument, is manifest of the growing numbers of young people who are contacting the Una Voce Federation.
Accordingly, the International Federation Una Voce gives thanks to Almighty God for the Papacy of Pope Benedict XVI, to whom we convey our filial gratitude, and to whom we give, and will continue to give, our prayers and thanksgiving.

Schwarzenegger Touts Reform Proposals
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to build support for proposals to get the state's massive deficit under control. He is taking his case to the people, despite opposition from his fellow politicians.
Mr. Schwarzenegger is in the midst of a four-day campaign to enlist public support for his recovery plan. He is urging audiences in California to demand that their legislators support his two proposals. One would cap state spending. The other would authorize a $15 billion bond to fill the budget gap.
Mr. Schwarzenegger, a former bodybuilder and actor, was elected in a special recall election in October. Tuesday in the city of San Diego, he held the first of a series of rallies with supporters.
"You've already shown your power by flexing your muscles on last October 7 when you voted me into office," he said. "Flex your muscles again. Let your voices be heard again. We can win this."
Dramatizing his point later in San Jose, he held a large replica of a credit card emblazoned with the words "State of California." He said it symbolized the state's addiction to spending. He bent the card in half and discarded it.
Wednesday in Los Angeles, he spoke with restaurant patrons. "All I want you to do is call your legislators," he told them.
Mr. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, wants California's Democratic-controlled legislature to place the referendum items on the state ballot next March, to be approved or rejected directly by the voters.
Some Democrats oppose the spending cap, which they say will cut essential services. Some Republicans say the cap is not strict enough. California lawmakers say they expect the new governor will be flexible on this issue.
Some in both parties oppose the bond measure, which they say will leave the state with a long-term debt that it must repay with interest. Democratic state treasurer Phil Angelides, a likely candidate for governor in 2006, says California should borrow less, and instead raise taxes on the rich.
"The wrong thing to do is to saddle our children, our grandchildren, with debt with decades to come because of our inability to come to a decision about what's right for California," he said.
Mr. Schwarzenegger is reluctant to raise taxes. Instead, he wants immediate spending cuts of nearly $4 billion. The cuts would limit some public health benefits.
In order to get his proposals on the March ballot, California lawmakers must agree by Friday to put them to the voters.

La Rivière est un village situé dans la province du Manitoba au Canada. Il est peuplé d'environ 250 personnes.

Le village de La Rivière fut fondé en 1886 par des Métis franco-manitobains. Ils nommèrent ce hameau rural en raison de la rivière Pembina qui traverse le bourg.

Avec l'arrivée du chemin de fer, une émigration nouvelle arrive dès la fin du  et au début du , provenant d'Europe orientale. Les Métis s'établiront plus au Nord du côté de Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes.

I believe that the human body, like all living beings, possesses a fundamental desire to constantly evolve from a state of chaos to one of balance.  Disease occurs when the body is no longer able to achieve that place of balance.  Acupuncture works to mobilize the body's own healing potential to gently shift from disorder to a more harmonious state.
My goal in treatment is to approach people with respect in order to hear how I can help them achieve their stillpoint, their point of calm and balance.  My patients are encouraged to take charge of his/her health and wellbeing as the acupuncturist's job is to merely facilitate the process of healing.  My practice is characterized by simplicity, a gentle touch, attention to detail and promoting a positive healing environment.
Stillpoint Acupuncture, a clinic specializing in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Therapy in Whitefish, MT, is owned and operated by Erin Boedeker, L.Ac. Stillpoint Acupuncture is located in a shared office space with other like-minded and talented healers in the 3rd and Spokane Building above Third Street Market and Bookworks in Whitefish. Erin is extremely happy to be able to offer her services to residents of the Flathead Valley and beyond.
I graduated with a Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University in December 2009, and am a NCCAOM board certified and Montana licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. I am a member of Montana's Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Association as well as part of the Community Acupuncture Network.
My philosophy as an acupuncturist is to respect all patients and their individual approach to their own healthcare. In addition to Acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments, my clinical services include nutritional and life style advice which help to foster a patient's sense of responsibility for his or her own well-being. I practice both Chinese and Japanese styles of diagnosis and needling as well as incorporating Cranial Sacral Therapy, Foot Reflexology and Acutonics sound therapy to create a unique experience tailored to the individuality of each of my patients. With my extensive training in Chinese herbal medicine, I often prescribe herbal remedies for patients as an adjunct to any acupuncture session; a way for each patient to continue treatment at home. Chinese herbal formulas often help to exact large change more quickly than acupuncture alone. Herbs, however, are not appropriate in all cases and are prescribed only when necessary to bring a person back to a balanced state.


African penguin populations have been declining over the past few years. Georgia Aquarium, an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), is joining AZA and other accredited zoos and aquariums to help preserve this species. The campaign, Invest in the Nest, starts today on Kickstarter, the innovative crowdfunding platform. The campaign seeks to raise $150,000 to help build and place 1,500 artificial nests for African penguins in South Africa and Namibia. Join us in donating before the campaign ends on June 16, 2017.
There used to be over one million breeding pairs of African penguins, but now there are only about 25,000 pairs. The penguins used to build their nests to lay eggs and raise their families in a thick layer of guano, also known as penguin poop. The guano has been overharvested for years, which negatively impacts the reproduction habits of African penguins. This problem adds to populations dwindling, as does predation, limited food supply, and habitat changes.
Georgia Aquarium has been involved in African penguin conservation since partnering with the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), an internationally recognized leader in rehabilitating sea birds, in 2009. Since the partnership began, Georgia Aquarium has donated more than $250,000 to help aid in the rescue and rehabilitation of African penguins. In 2016, Georgia Aquarium sent staff members to Cape Town, South Africa, to assist in the release of 57 rehabilitated African penguin chicks.
Also, Georgia Aquarium is supporting SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction, a program that brings together AZA and accredited organizations to help save species from extinction. Establishing the new artificial nests in South Africa and Namibia is a priority for the SAFE program to help save African penguins as a species.
Supporters of the AZA Invest in the Nest Kickstarter campaign won't leave empty-handed. A variety of awards is available for backing the campaign, including exclusive behind-the-scenes opportunities at some of the best aquariums and zoos in the country, as well as original penguin art, symbolic penguin adoption kits, t-shirts, totes, posters, and more. Participants will also receive the knowledge that they have done something important in helping conserve the African penguin species.
Visit Georgia Aquarium to see our African penguins in our Cold Water Quest gallery to learn more about this endangered species. For more information about the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), visit www.aza.org/. To donate and learn more about the Invest in the Nest Kickstarter campaign, visit /www.aza.org/kickstarter.

Preparing the technology to test gravitational-wave detection in space
Name The 'LISA' in the mission's name stands for Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, an earlier concept for a spaceborne observatory for gravitational waves, and now used to describe a class of missions based on the original LISA concept. LISA Pathfinder is testing key technology for future LISA-like space missions to study the gravitational Universe.
Description LISA Pathfinder is testing the technologies needed for future space mission aiming at improving our knowledge of the universe by detecting gravitational waves, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity in 1915. In doing this, LISA Pathfinder will make key measurements of the fabric of spacetime, which will be a crucial component for future fundamental missions as well.
The mission flies a European payload, the LISA Technology Package (LTP), developed by the European scientific community using national funding from seven Member States (Italy, France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Switzerland) and from ESA. An American instrument is hosted on board, the Disturbance Reduction System (DRS), developed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Launch LISA Pathfinder was launched on 3 December 2015.
Status Science operations
Journey LISA Pathfinder travelled from Earth to one of the 'Lagrangian points'. In these five special places the balance between the gravitational pull from the Sun and Earth allows an object to be stationary in the Sun–Earth system. A spacecraft near one of these points can stay there for long periods of time without the need for major manoeuvres.
LISA Pathfinder is currently orbiting the L1 point, located some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth in the direction of the Sun. The operational phase started on 1 March 2016 and will last six months, but it could be extended up to one year.
Notes LISA Pathfinder uses extremely sophisticated technologies in gravitational sensors, electric propulsion, and laser ranging. The purpose of the mission is to validate the technologies required to detect extremely small movements, a science known as 'precision metrology'.
LISA Pathfinder will prove the techniques and equipment to detect the relative movement of two solid blocks that are freely floating in space to an accuracy of 10 picometres (1 picometre is equal to one millionth of a millionth of a metre).

Karlheinz Stockhausen - part of a dream
Karlheinz Stockhausen died on December 5, 2007. In tribute I will be playing his orchestral work Gruppen on my Future Radio programme on December 16, preceeded by Palestrina's Missa Brevis. My article below explains the connection between the two works, and also looks at Stockhausen's position within the bigger picture of mid-twentieth century culture.
This photo of Peter Orlovsky was taken in 1955, and he is the subject of the background portrait which was painted by Robert LaVigne. Orlovsky became beat poet Allen Ginsberg's lover and companion, and Ginsberg is listed as one of the thirty-six most influential people of the hippie era. Here is the complete list:
Bella Abzug, Muhammad Ali, Joan Baez, Helen Gurley Brown, Rachel Carson, Bob Dylan, Buckminster Fuller, Jerry Garcia, Stephen Gaskin, Allen Ginsberg, Berry Gordy Jr., Bill Graham, Germaine Greer, Dick Gregory, Tom Hayden, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Kennedy, Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Timothy Leary, John Lennon, Malcolm X, Bob Marley, Thurgood Marshall, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, George Orwell, Les Paul, Gene Roddenberry, Jerry Rubin, Mario Savio, Ravi Shankar, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Augustus Owsley Stanley, Gloria Steinem.
This list comes from the quirky and wonderful Hippie Dictionary compiled by John Bassett McCleary. This is a compelling but fallible book, and I wonder how many readers will agree with all the thirty-six names in the list? Shouldn't contemporary classical music be represented by more than Ravi Shankar?
Look again at the header photo, there is a a Capitol Records LP of the Bach B Minor Mass (can anyone identify the actual recording?) visible bottom right. And in Barry Miles' biography of Ginsberg there is a description of Ginsberg tripping on LSD with Timothy Leary as Götterdämmerung blasted on the stereo.
The soundtrack of the hippie era crossed musical boundaries. In 1952 at the invitation of Lou Harrison a 'concerted action' was staged by John Cage and friends at Black Mountain College, North Carolina. This event is generally considered to be the forerunner of the multi-media happenings that defined the 60s. Later, in 1966, a Concert Happening at Aerospace Hall in Los Angeles included music by Arnold Schoenberg and John Cage. At the happening John Byrd performed a composition titled 'The Defense of the American Continent from the Vietcong Invasion'. This used chance techniques drawn from Cage's work, and concluded with a transition from improvisation to a chorale arrangement of 'America the Beautiful'.
There are links between Allen Ginsberg and John Cage. In the 1950s Cage (below) considered working with Ginsberg on a project based on the cycle of seasons, but it never came to fruition. Thirty years later, when the early IBM PCs became available, Cage used a computer programme to extract random pattern's (mesolists) from Ginsberg's epic poem Howl, which he then used to generate 'chance' music - these programmes are available for download.
Earlier, in 1970, Cage had lived in a flat in the West Village, New York, with Yoko Ono and John Lennon as neighbours. Lennon contributed a page of a Cage's collection of scores which was published as Notations, and which also included contributions by Igor Stravinsky, Milton Babbitt, Morton Feldman and Darius Milhaud.
The Beatles connection leads us to Karlheinz Stockhausen (below), who joined the soundtrack of the 60s when he was a visiting professor of composition at the University of California, Davis. Paul McCartney says he was influenced by Stockhausen's music, although you wouldn't guess it. And Stockhausen became part of the era's iconography when Peter Blake (who, himself, is a candidate for the list) included him on the sleeve of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at McCartney's request. Stockhausen is fifth from left in the top row in my footer image. You can find out who the other icons are here.
Philip Glass, of course, has lots of links with Allen Ginsberg, although most of these post-date the hippie era. I wrote last year about Glass' 2002 Symphony No 6, which sets Ginsberg's Plutonian Ode. Glass' Wichita Vortex Sutra for solo piano was the result of a chance meeting between Glass and Ginsberg, in St. Mark's Bookshop, in the East Village, New York. "We decided on the spot to do something together and chose the poem,'" Glass recalls. He explains "I composed the music to match the rhythm of Allen's reading", a technique which has echoes of John Cage's mesolist writing.
Wichita Vortex Sutra was first performed in 1988 at a benefit for a group of Vietnam veterans, with Ginsberg reading his poem and Glass playing piano. No excuses for not knowing it - you can hear it on Jeroen van Keen's ulta-low priced Minimal Piano Collection which I reviewed here recently, and it is incorporated into Glass' 1990 chamber opera Hydrogen Jukebox.
The links between Philip Glass (below) and Allen Ginsberg continue ten years after the poet's death. At the October 2007 London performance of Glass' Book of Longing Patti Smith joined the composer on stage to invoke Ginsberg's spirit. In a wonderfully circular path Book of Longing is a setting of Leonard Cohen's poems, and Cohen is surely a candidate for the list of thirty-six hippie movers and shakers?
Leonard Bernstein is also missing. I am sure that Lennie would have felt his Black Panther connections meant he was a shoo-in for the list. But despite West Side Story and Mass I'm not sponsoring him, with, or without clothes. But one priceless Bernstein story is worth repeating. The infamous radical grouping the Weatherman hijacked the West Side Story lyrics for revolutionary purposes. 'The most beautiful sound I ever heard' was not 'Maria' in their extreme left utopia. Instead Stephen Sondheim's lyrics were morphed to 'I've just met a Marxist Leninist named Kim Il Sung, say it soft and there's rice fields flowing, say it loud and there's people's war growing'.
Difficult to follow that one. But it is not just in music that John Bassett McCleary's list can be challenged. The visual arts are not well represented. Where is Andy Warhol for instance? And if Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry is on the list, why not Stanley Kubrick? He, of course, famously used György Ligeti's music in the ultimate 60s trip, the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Kubrick's 1971 film A Clockwork Orange became a leitmotif for the death of the hippie dream, and featured music by Wendy Carlos (credited as Walter Carlos) who might just make the list herself. And, of course, Wendy (left) plays the Moog synthesizer, which provided the cantus firmus of the Hippie era, which means Bob Moog just has to be among the thirty-six as well. And Bob Moog's path crossed with John Cage in 1965 when Moog created a movement triggered sound system for Merce Cunningham's performance of Cage's Variation V.
A Clockwork Orange was based on Anthony Burgess' novel (Burgess was also a prolific composer), and writers are not well represented either. George Orwell is a perverse inclusion as he died in 1950. Instead I would argue for some who were not enrolled in what the artist Robert Crumb called the 'army of the stoned'. How about Marshall McLuhan, Hermann Hesse, J.D. Salinger, but above all the monk, writer and thinker Thomas Merton?
Merton's 1948 book The Seven Storey Mountain was an unexpected best-seller through the 1950s and 1960s, and the story of his search for faith resonated with many of the hippie generation. Despite being a member of the strict Trappist Order Merton worked for peace with leading activists, politicians and theologians until his tragic death in 1968, the turbulent year that also took Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F Kennedy from us.
The last page of Stockhausen's score for his 1957 masterpiece Gruppen carries the words Deo gratias (Thanks be to God). This response occurs three times in the Latin Mass and frequently in the Breviary and in Catholic prayers. Like Stockhausen, Thomas Merton (below) was profoundly influenced by Catholicism. But also like John Cage (and Philip Glass, Allen Ginsberg and many others) Merton's late inspiration was Buddhism. In fact the paths of Merton and Cage crossed, they were both disciples of the great Zen teacher Daisetz T. Suzuki.
Merton, unlike Ginsberg, understood that the use of any kind of drugs was utterly contrary to the spirit of Zen. But, despite this divergence, Thomas Merton's writings were uniquely inclusive, as this extract from his posthumously published Asian Journals shows:
In speaking for monks I am really speaking for a very strange kind of person, a marginal person, because the monk in the modern world is no longer an established person with an established place in society, We realise very keenly in America today that the monk is essentially outside of all establishments. He does not belong to an establishment. He is a marginal person who withdraws deliberately to the margin of society with a view to deepening fundamental human experience. Consequently, as one of these strange people, I speak to you as a representative of all marginal persons who who have done this kind of thing deliberately. Thus I find myself representing perhaps hippies among you, poets, people of this kind who are seeking in all sorts of ways and have absolutely no established status whatever.
That link between Thomas Merton and Allen Ginsberg brings this meandering overgrown path full circle. So many strange, marginal, and anti-establishment people to celebrate, and this really could go on for ever. The Hippie Dictionary is a wonderfully entertaining and stimulating book, and debating who were the most influential people of the hippie era could just be the new Trivial Pursuits. But don't take it all too seriously - understand that this is a dream.
Now, continue the trip on the majic bus.
Hear Karlheinz Stockhausen's Gruppen on my Future Radio programme on Sunday December 16 at 5.00pm UK time (convert to local time zones here) I will also be playing Lou Harrison's 1985 Piano Concerto. Listen by launching the Radeo internet player from the right side-bar, or via the audio stream. Convert time to your local time zone using this link. Windows Media Player doesn't like the audio stream very much and takes ages to buffer. WinAmp or iTunes handle it best. Unfortunately the royalty license doesn't permit on-demand replay, so you have to listen in real time. If you are in the Norwich, UK area tune to 96.9FM.

...how many readers will agree with all the thirty-six names in the list? Shouldn't contemporary music be represented by more than Ravi Shankar?
Hmmm ... I'd be interested to understand what sort of definition of "contemporary music" you had in mind that would include Ravi Shankar but none of
Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Berry Gordy Jr., Bill Graham, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Les Paul.
Without ignoring things like his work with Menuhin, much of Shankar's renown during that period came from his involvement with the musical culture represented by many of the names which are on the list (John Lennon being the most obvious example).
Fair point Scott. A poor choice of words by me.
By 'contemporary music' I, of course, meant 'contemporary classical music', and I've changed the wording to that now.
It's difficult to find the right words that convey 'non-rock/folk/pop'. Some commentators use the words 'serious music' but that seems even worse.
Any suggestions for an alternative to the handle 'contemporary classical music' are very welcome.
Or is the categorisation meaningless when groups such as Soft Machine moved between categories?

As to the Bach B Minor Mass LP: I noticed the Westminster logo, and with found the answer with a surprisingly quick search.
It's performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and Wiener Akadamie Kammerchor. The conductor: Hermann Scherchen. It was released in 1950. It seems to be out of print.
Apparently, Scherchen re-recorded the Mass for the same label with the same choir, but with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and different soloists 9 years later. That recording is still on sale.
All this was found at http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Vocal/BWV232-Scherchen.htm
Thanks for that information Kyle.
My readers never cease to amaze me.
Ah ... the penny drops. It was of course obvious that the list was missing classical/serious/art musicians. However, my reaction stemmed from the reality that you take a commendably broad view of what sorts of music are worth writing about, and it just didn't occur to me that "contemporary music" was intended to be other than a broad term.
I suppose the label that may be the best of the existing bad lot is "serious music." That at least has the benefit of capturing some composers and performers who are certainly serious but who would be excluded by a label of "classical". "Art music" has the right sort of flavour to my ear, but is probably subject to even more misunderstandings.
But "serious" sounds just so ... well, serious.
However, I could argue that the reality that there is no simple and understandable "pigeonholes" is a Good Thing ...
Re-reading this post I realise that I should have made it clearer that Karlheinz Stockhausen, like Thomas Merton, strongly disapproved of drug abuse.
Email received from a cold, but beautiful, part of the world:
Overgrown path. december 08, 2007:"Look again at the header photo, there is a a Capitol Records LP of the Bach BMinor Mass (can anyone identify the actual recording?)"
Yes, I found it from this page: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Vocal/BWV232-Scherchen.htm . At least these have same cover pictures.
Greetings from northern Finland
Markku Ollila
This is getting a bit fanatical, but ...
Kyle refers above to the Westminster logo visible on the B minor Mass sleeve in my photo, and correctly identifies it as the Wiener Akadamie Kammerchor recording on that label.
While Markku above gives us a link to the an image of the cover, and it is definitely the right sleeve -http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Vocal/BWV232-Scherchen.htm
But in that sleeve image there is no Westminster logo.
Here is a graphic of the logo - http://www.maurice-abravanel.com/Logo_Westminster_l.jpg

WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! It's immediately clear in Thomas Bradshaw's new play "Intimacy" that the emperor definitely has no clothes on. We visit with three neighbor's households in suburbia. Eventually everyone sheds their clothes, literally. In addition to nudity the characters spew their issues: "mexicans are lazy, jews are cheap, "kids make fun of me because my mother works in wal mart"; "people stopped talking to me when I got cancer and lost my hair."
We are meant to be shocked and emotionally spun around. Are we being provoked to consider our thoughts on these raw issues? Some people weren't interested in pondering , they fled during intermission. Other audience members laughed, a little too loudly. Were they related to any of the actors?
In previous interviews the author stated that current theater was boring and more boundaries needed to be pushed. He claims that he is presenting reality, a hyper-reality that people don't want to believe. One of his previous plays, Purity based on a newspaper article deals with two professors who travel to Ecuador to have sex with a 9-year-old-girl. His play Burning was inspired by a brother and sister suing the German government for the right to marry. The author is black and states his exploration of race is not traditional. His play Cleansing deals with a bi-racial girl's discovery that her grandfather was a grand wizard of the K.K.K.
The seven member cast performed on a professional basis. Since there really is no line between this production and
pornography I wonder how the actors made that transition. I had a moment of hope when the female college professsor
questioned; "Where did the women's movement go? Girls stopped wearing make up and now they are making themselves into objects." I thought we were going to examine our society's plunge into decadence. But, no, the same woman applauds her daughter's nudity in Barely Legal magazine, and the girl's "independent" career choice working in porn films. "She is helping people."
Act Two focuses on a young man's making of a porno movie, of course all the neigbors are included. Just a few of the "highlights" of the evening: nude man masturbating – liquid shoots up (audience applauds?), a man on a toilet calls his wife in to examine his dark stool, hispanic male contractor laughs at liberals who don't own guns, same contractor jerking off to computer (how does he keep his erection?) (note: first two rows of seats have a reduced ticket price!!).
The conclusion is that through the making of the porn film everyone has achieved true intimacy. The straight boy seduced by the older man is now happy in his bi-sexuaity. The wife permits anal sex (demonstrated close up on a video screen) and discovers her paradise. The young porn star marries the older father of the filmmaker after "transformative" sex. This play is subtitled "a new comedy romp". This is not a ha-ha free romp. I am still reeling from the ruined lives of people, children and adults sexually molested in a world that requires hush hush on the subject.

Town: The village of Great Ayton lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, at the foot of the Cleveland Hills. Great Ayton is famous for being the boyhood home of Captain Cook, and is also mentioned in the Domesday Book. The village consists of a mixture of stone cottages and some new development housing. Great Ayton has two village greens, with a river running alongside, making it a popular picnic spot in the summer months. To the north of the village, the view is dominated by Roseberry Topping, a 330 metre hill. In the village are a good range of shops and inns, which, together with restaurants and cafes, cater well for holidaymakers. There is also the old school, now converted into the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. Around the village are several interesting walks and Great Ayton makes a great base for walkers wishing to explore the stunning countryside around, especially in the summer months when the moors turn purple with blooming heather.More
