Anil Kumar Gupta Vs. State of U.P.
B. SUDERSHAN REDDY, J.
1. The appellant along with four others was tried for the charges punishable under Sections 498A and 304B, IPC and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. The learned Sessions Judge, Muzaffarnagar acquitted all of them of the said charges. The State preferred appeal against acquittal in the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad. The High Court confirmed the order of acquittal of all other accused except the appellant herein.
The High Court accordingly convicted the appellant herein for the offences punishable under Section 498A, IPC and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years with a fine of Rs.5,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months, and for the offence punishable under Section 304B, IPC, he was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for ten years. The High Court also convicted the appellant for the offence punishable under Section 3 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for five years and to pay a fine of Rs.15,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year, whereas under Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, the appellant was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- and in default of payment of fine, he should further undergo rigorous imprisonment for one month. The substantive sentences of imprisonment were however directed to run concurrently. Hence this appeal.
2. In order to consider as to whether the judgment of the High Court convicting the appellant for the offences punishable under the provisions referred to hereinabove suffers from any infirmity requiring our interference, it is just and necessary to notice the relevant facts in brief.
3. The appellant is the husband of the deceased Poonam. The incident is stated to have taken place in the intervening night of 6th/7th June, 1988 in Mohalla Kambalwala Bagh, Muzaffarnagar and a report was lodged on 7.6.1988 at 8.50 a.m. by Dharmendra Kumar Jain (PW 1), father of the victim. The parents of the victim Poonam (deceased) are the residents of Khatauli, 4a town nearby Muzafarnagar. The deceased Poonam was married to the appellant Anil Kumar Gupta on 20th April, 1987. Soon after the marriage, the appellant and other accused (since acquitted) allegedly started harassing and torturing the deceased to bring more dowry. She was subjected to both mental and physical cruelty repeatedly.
The deceased gave birth to a male child about four months before the occurrence and the same constituted another occasion for the appellant and other accused to demand cash and other valuable articles. Dharmendra Kumar Jain (PW 1), the father of the victim was not in a position to meet their demands. Consequently, the victim was subjected to further harassment. On 6th June, 1988 at about 11 a.m., the victim telephoned to her near relation, namely, Ram Kumar Vaish (PW 2) at Muzaffarnagar complaining about her torture and requested him to see her. Ram Kumar Vaish (PW 2) reached her house in the evening. He heard shrieks of the deceased Poonam coming out 5of the house. The appellant and his brother Ajay Kumar and sister were shouting inside the house loudly. PW 2 then rang the bell evoking Anil Kumar Gupta, the appellant to come out, but he did not allow him to meet the victim Poonam. PW 2, in turn, informed the complainant (PW 1) about all this at Khatauli at about 10 p.m. On 7.6.1988, the complainant (PW 1) along with his sons and PW 2 reached the house of the accused and found that none of them were present at home.
He was informed by the neighbours that in the preceding night, the appellant, his brother and sister had taken Poonam to the hospital when her condition was serious and she was crying "MUJHE JAHAR DEKAR MAAR DIYA". On reaching the District Hospital, PWs 1 and 2 came to know that Poonam had breathed her last and her dead body was lying there. No accused was to be found in the hospital. PW 1 then lodged the FIR whereupon a case was registered and investigation was undertaken by the S.H.O. Shyam Singh Tomar (PW 8).
4. There is no dispute whatsoever that the victim was admitted in the hospital on 7.6.1988 at about 1 a.m. under a case of suspected poisoning. Dr. N.C. Tyagi (PW 7) had examined the victim. Her condition was very critical and she was unconscious. She had breathed her last at 1.40 a.m. Postmortem was conducted by Dr. Suresh Chandra (PW 5) on the same day at about 4 p.m. The following ante mortem injuries were found on her person:1. Multiple pin-pointed abrasions with pin-pointed spots in an area of 2 cm. x 1 cm. on the dorsum of right big toe just behind the base of nail.2. Multiple pin-point abrasions with pinpoint bleeding (clotted) spots on the dorsum of 4th toe just behind the base of nail.3. Multiple pin-point abrasions with clotted blood on the dorsum of left great toe just-behind the nail.4. Multiple pin-point abrasions in an area of 1 cm. x 1 cm. on the front of left greater toe nail. 75. Multiple pin-pointed abrasions with clotted blood in front of nail of left 4th toe.6. Multiple pin-pointed abrasions with clotted blood in front of left 4th toe.7. Multiple pin-pointed abrasions with clotted blood in front of left 3rd toe. According to the medical opinion, the cause of death could not be ascertained, hence viscera was preserved. As per the report of the serologist, viscera contained insecticide poison.
5. The prosecution, in order to establish its case, altogether examined ten witnesses and the accused produced two witnesses in their defence. There is no direct evidence whatsoever and the entire case rests upon the circumstantial evidence. The trial Court, meticulously analyzed the evidence available on record and recorded the following findings:(i) The prosecution miserably failed to establish that while victim was being taken to hospital, she 8 shouted that she had been administered poison. Ram Kumar Vaish (PW 2) did not make any statement to that effect before the police. However, in his evidence, he stated that the neighbours stated about the same. The fact remains that no neighbour has been examined to establish this fact.(ii) The trial Court also found that there is no evidence that one day prior to her death, the victim spoke to PW 2.(iii) The trial Court did not accept the evidence of Dharmendra Kumar Jain (PW 1), father of the victim on the ground that the evidence given by him is full of contradictions. As per the evidence of PW 1 and as well as in FIR, there is no mention of any demand for dowry before or after the marriage. The alleged demand was made only after the birth of a male child. The letters 9 produced by the prosecution do not prove any demand for dowry. The letters (Exts. Ka-2 and Ka-3) do not mention that the accused have demanded any dowry either in the form of Camera or Scooter. On the other hand, letter (Ext. Ka-13) written by Smt. Poonam (deceased) from her father's house to the appellant only showed family matters, about the love and affection between the husband and wife and how painful it was to stay away from her husband.
6. The trial Court further found that the suicide note (Ext. Ka-78) stands proved to have been written by the deceased, as established by the Handwriting and Finger Print Expert.
7. The High Court, while reappreciating the evidence available on record, did not discuss that portion of the evidence which was taken into consideration by the trial Court. However, the High Court concluded that the 10deceased died an unnatural death by poisoning within about 14 months of her marriage with the appellant and there was consistent demand of dowry by him after the marriage. The High Court also observed that the victim was treated with cruelty by the appellant over the demand for dowry. The appellant was never satisfied even though some of the demands were met by the parents of the deceased. That after the birth of the child, the appellant further demanded VCR and Rs.20,000/- in cash and on non-fulfillment of the demand, the appellant continued to subject the deceased to cruelty and harassment.
Adverting to the circumstances, the High Court noted that the appellant prevented Ram Kumar Vaish (PW 2) to meet the deceased in the preceding evening when he reached their house on receipt of a telephone call from the deceased. One of the most important circumstance that was taken into consideration by the High Court is that the appellant was nearest to the lady and was undoubtedly with her on that fateful night and therefore, the inference is inescapable that it is the appellant who administered poison on her. The High Court further found that the appellant was engaged in manufacturing medicines and well acquainted with the property, composition, potentiality and effectiveness of the deadly poison responsible for the death of the lady. In order to show his innocence, he took her to the hospital on scooter where she collapsed within 40 minutes. Another circumstance that was taken into consideration by the High Court was that the appellant did not inform the police nor he informed the parents of the deceased about her death. Instead, he was not to be found in the hospital near the dead body of the deceased in the next morning when deceased's father and others reached there.
8. Shri R.K. Shukla, learned senior counsel appearing for the appellant mainly contended that the High Court in the process of reappreciating the evidence, ignored the vital evidence on record which proves the innocence of the appellant. It was submitted that the approach of the High Court is completely contrary to the decision of this Court in Ramesh Babulal Doshi Vs. State of Gujarat1 which was followed by this Court in Dwarka Das & Ors. Vs. State of Haryana2. The submission was that the High Court miserably failed to examine the reasons given by the trial Court for recording the order of acquittal.
9. Learned counsel for the State of U.P. supported the impugned judgment mainly relying on the circumstances that on that fateful night, the appellant alone was in the company of the deceased and it is one of the strong circumstances to hold that it is the appellant who administered poison to the deceased.
10. In Ramesh Babulal Doshi, this Court held that "the mere fact that a view other than the one taken by the trial Court can be legitimately arrived at by the 1 (1996) 9 SCC 2252 (2003) 1 SCC 204 13 appellate Court on reappraisal of the evidence, cannot constitute a valid and sufficient ground to interfere an order of acquittal unless it comes to the conclusion that the entire approach of the trial Court in dealing with the evidence was patently illegal or the conclusions arrived at by it were wholly untenable. While sitting in judgment over an acquittal, the appellate Court is first required to seek an answer to the question whether the findings of the trial Court are palpably wrong, manifestly erroneous or demonstrably unsustainable. If the appellate Court answers the above question in the negative, the order of acquittal is not to be disturbed. Conversely, if the appellate Court holds, for reasons to be recorded, that the order of acquittal cannot at all be sustained in view of any of the above infirmities it can then--and then only--reappraise the evidence to arrive at its own conclusions". (emphasis supplied)
11. In Dwarka Das, this Court following the decision in Ramesh Babulal Doshi, further observed that "there cannot be any denial of the factum that the power and authority to appraise the evidence in an appeal, either against acquittal or conviction stands out to be very comprehensive and wide, but if two views are reasonably possible, on the state of evidence: one supporting the acquittal and the other indicating conviction, then and in that event, the High Court would not be justified in interfering with an order of acquittal, merely because it feels that it, sitting as a trial court, would have taken the other view. While reappreciating the evidence, the rule of prudence requires that the High Court should give proper weight and consideration to the views of the trial Judge. But if the judgment of the Sessions Judge was absolutely perverse, legally erroneous and based on a wrong appreciation of the evidence, then it would be just and proper for the High Court to reverse the judgment of acquittal, recorded by the Sessions Judge, as otherwise, there would be gross miscarriage of justice".
12. In Chandrappa & Ors. Vs. State of Karnataka3, this Court reappreciating the aforesaid principles, further observed that "in case of acquittal, there is a double presumption in favour of the accused. Firstly, the presumption of innocence available to him under the fundamental principle of criminal jurisprudence that every person should be presumed to be innocent unless he is proved to be guilty by a competent court of law. Secondly, the accused having secured an acquittal, the presumption of his innocence is certainly not weakened but reinforced, reaffirmed and strengthened by the trial Court. Though the above principles are well established, a different note was struck in several decisions by various High Courts and even by this Court. It is, therefore, appropriate if we consider some of the leading decisions on the point". Having stated so, this Court also held that an appellate Court has full power to reappreciate, review and reconsider the evidence upon which the order of 3 (2007) 4 SCC 415 16 acquittal is founded. But it is well established that if two views are possible on the basis of evidence on record and one favourable view to the accused has been taken by the trial Court, it ought not to be disturbed by the appellate Court.
13. Therefore, keeping the above principles in mind, we have to first ascertain whether there are any reasons recorded by the High Court in order to observe that the findings of the trial Court are unsustainable. The High Court in its judgment expressed that "the acquittal is wholly unjustified" and that the learned trial Judge failed to make proper analysis of the evidence adduced by the prosecution and other surrounding circumstances. There is no finding recorded as such by the High Court to the effect that the trial Court misread the evidence and its findings therefore were perverse in their entirety. The High Court was mainly impressed by its finding that the suicide note produced on behalf of the defence was found to be fabricated.
14. The defence, in its anxiety might have pressed some suicidal note into service which was ultimately found to be not acceptable by the High Court, but the High Court did not consider the rest of the circumstantial evidence that was taken into consideration by the trial Court for acquitting the accused. The High Court has mainly taken one singular circumstance into account, namely, that on the fateful night, the appellant alone was nearest to the victim and therefore, the inference is inescapable that it is he who administered poison to her. In the entire judgment, there is not even a whisper as to how the reasons recorded by the trial Court were perverse or erroneous.
15. It appears to us that the High Court very conveniently ignored the exchange of letters between the deceased Poonam and her mother which disclosed cordial relations between the two families. The prosecution did not find any letter by the deceased Poonam in response to her mother's letter when her mother's letters indicated receipt of Poonam's letters. There is no explanation forthcoming as to why the prosecution withheld that evidence. The benefit of doubt in this regard may have to go in favour of the appellant.
16. The High Court while ignoring the vital evidence available on record regarding the purchase of scooter by appellant himself with his own funds relied upon oral assertion made by PW-1 that parents of the victim paid a sum of Rs. 2,000/- for replacing the Camera and a further sum of Rs. 5,000/- for purchase of the scooter. The Trial Court, on appreciation of evidence available on record found that the scooter was actually purchased by the appellant himself, through raising a bank loan and in fact it was purchased much prior to the letter alleged to have been written by the victim to her parents. The appellant even got the scooter insured. This vital evidence regarding the ownership of the scooter has been completely ignored by the High Court and arrived at the conclusion as if the appellant demanded scooter from the parents of the victim as a dowry. The evidence available on record does not justify such a conclusion reached by the High Court. The High Court in this regard did not assign any reason as to how and why the conclusion arrived at by the trial court in this regard was not sound and perverse.
17. Similarly the High Court, on a very peculiar reasoning ignores the relevant piece of evidence that it is the appellant who took the victim to the hospital on his scooter to save her life. The High Court for no reason characterized the act of appellant taking the victim to the hospital as one of showmanship in order to avoid any suspicion of his involvement in the crime. According to the High Court the move was an anticipatory self-defence. It is difficult to discern as to on what basis the High Court arrived at such a conclusion. The High Court without any reason whatsoever concludes that the appellant took the victim on his scooter to the hospital only in order to 20show that as if he was innocent. The evidence of the duty doctor and entries in the hospital register in unmistakable terms reveals that it is the appellant who got admitted the victim into the hospital. If it is the appellant who removed the victim to the hospital on his scooter, then the version given by the prosecution (PW-2) that neighbours informed him to the effect that the victim Poonam came out of her house crying and shouting that she has been administered poison by the accused person becomes totally unacceptable. This vital portion of the evidence upon which the High Court relied comes from the statement of PW-2 which is undoubtedly an improvement since he did not state anything to that effect in his statement to the police. The fact remains that no neighbour was examined to justify that the victim Poonam came out of her house running and shouting that accused administered poison to her. The trial court meticulously examined the evidence available on record in this regard and accordingly found that the prosecution story of the victim revealing that she was administered poison was totally unacceptable. There is no reason given by the High Court as to why it did not agree with the findings of the trial court.
18. Be it noted that on the same evidence, the High Court did not find any case whatsoever against the other accused but found only the appellant guilty on the sole ground that on that fateful night, it was the appellant who was proximate to the deceased and therefore, it is the appellant who administered poison to the deceased. The factum itself that the deceased and the appellant were together cannot be a ground to conclude that it was the appellant who administered poison to the deceased. The cause of death of the victim undoubtedly is on account of consumption of poison but there are no circumstances available on record based on which one could conclude that it was a case that someone forcibly administered poison.
19. In the same manner, the High Court recorded the finding that the appellant is very well versed in manufacturing medicines and knew their property, composition etc. The appellant looks after the accounts of a manufacturing concern. He has no acquaintance with any medical or chemical technology. We fail to appreciate as to the relevance of appellant's employment with a manufacturer of medicine has any bearing on his knowledge in manufacture of poison. It sounds very strange that High Court not only presumes that the appellant has not only special knowledge about preparation of poison but it is the appellant who administered poison to the victim
20. In our considered opinion, the High Court committed a serious error in arriving at its own conclusions without properly appreciating the findings and conclusions arrived at by the trial Court and the reasons assigned in support of those conclusions and findings. In the absence of any conclusion by the High Court to the 23 effect that "the trial Court misread the evidence and the findings were therefore perverse", no interference was called for. The High Court virtually substituted all the findings and conclusions of the trial court but without assigning any reason whatsoever as to why and how those conclusions of the trial court were not sound or perverse in their nature. The High Court normally does not interfere with the findings of the trial court merely because there is a possibility of taking a different view on the available evidence on record. That is no reason to interfere with the judgment of the trial court.
21. We are satisfied that the trial court, for good and cogent reasons, acquitted all the accused including the appellant and it is the High Court which committed error in reversing the well considered judgment of the trial court so far as the appellant is concerned. Be it noted, that on the same evidence the High Court agreed with the trial court to acquit the other accused 24 by refusing to rely on the prosecution story but a different yardstick has been applied so far as the appellant is concerned solely on the ground of his proximity with the victim on that fateful night. That singular circumstance in our considered opinion is not enough to conclude that the appellant forcibly administered the poison to the victim. Even the medical evidence available on record does not support the conclusion. The view taken by the High Court to reverse the order of acquittal is unsustainable both in law and on facts.
22. The impugned judgment is accordingly set aside. The appellant is acquitted of all the charges. The judgment of the trial Court acquitting the appellant shall stand restored. The bail bond executed by the appellant shall stand cancelled.
23. The appeal is allowed.

Snap's hotly awaiting first quarterly results are in, and the company missed Wall Street analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings. Shares are down more than 20% in after-hours trading, while rival Facebook has seen a small stock bump.
The parent company of the ephemeral messaging app generated $149.6 million in Q1 2017 revenue, which is lower than the $156 million analysts expected. It lost a whopping $2.2 billion, although it says that most of that is due to paying out stock-based employee compensation.
Daily active users: 166 million, up 36% from a year ago, and 5% from last quarter. This is key, since Snap's entire value story is about user growth.
Average revenue per user: $0.90, up 181% from a year ago, and 14% from the previous quarter. Note that Snap only really started to monetize in 2015, so the significant increase over the last year is no surprise.
Hosting costs per DAU: $0.60, slightly up from a year ago ($0.52), but lower from last quarter ($0.72), suggesting Snap is doing fairly well at controlling its hosting costs.

I'm so lost with everything
2022.01.18 13:03 latedrxves I'm so lost with everything
Hi everyone. I (19m) am about to enter my second semester at my local community college tomorrow. The winter break went by super fast and now I'm getting the same anxious feelings I had when the fall semester started in September. One problem is that I really don't enjoy my major. I'm majoring in some subcategory of IT and the course I took in the fall absolutely drained me. I'd have days where I was driving back home and I'd ask myself, why am I even going to college? The whole semester I felt like I wasn't doing anything and even though my grades were good, I felt like it was all for nothing.
I hate feeling this way since my tuition is being paid for by my parents and I'm still living at home. I've been asked by my father multiple times over the last few months about if I wanted to keep going to college, and every time I say that I'm fine with going. In reality, it's the complete opposite. I never really wanted to college after graduating high school, but I was always told by my father if I didn't go to college that I'd be enlisted in the military. So, I felt kind of pressured to just go anyway and did early admission midway through my senior year of hs. Now I'm in a weird place. I want to drop out and potentially do a trade, but at the same time I've looked at programs from local trade schools and nothing interests me. I looked at other majors my college offered but none of those seemed good for me. I'm at a point in my life where I feel behind from everybody else. I don't like college, but I can't see myself doing anything else. This post is a little all over the place, so I apologize if this is incoherent. If anyone has any sort of suggestions or advice I'd appreciate it.

2022.01.18 13:03 spotlightgrowth Safe-T Group and TerraZone Collaborate to Advance Global Sales, Marketing and Development of ZoneZero® Zero Trust Network Access Software Technology
Collaboration Enables Safe-T to Tap Additional Sales and Cybersecurity Expertise While Reducing Operating Expenses
HERZLIYA, Israel, Jan. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe-T® Group Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: SFET) ("Safe-T" or "the Company"), a global provider of cybersecurity and privacy solutions to consumers and enterprises, today announced that it has entered an agreement with TerraZone Ltd. ("TerraZone") for ZoneZero®, Safe-T's Zero Trust Network Access ("ZTNA") product technology.

It is our intent to fully leverage the impressive foundation that Safe-T has created for ZoneZero®, working with team to drive deeper into the enterprise security market," commented, Ofir Zvik, Chief Technology Officer of TerraZone.

2022.01.18 13:03 Anxious_Cookie14 Need help adjusting to the fear period.
I could really use some advice. My pup is about 7 months old (some kind of Jack Russel/beagle mix) and he's definitely showing signs of being in his fear period. If we so much as sneeze or shift a little too abruptly, he jumps and gets up from where he was sitting/lying on the couch with us (he always comes back).
But things really came to a head today. Usually, he'll come into the office with me when I'm working (I work from home), but he was too scared to walk across the hardwood floor to get to the office. Not even chicken (his highest reward food) was tempting enough. I tried leaving him on his own in the other room (he isn't destructive and is very well behaved), but he whined and got excited when I came out of the office, so I figured he wanted to be with me but was too scared to cross the floor.
What can I do to make this phase easier for him?
How can I read his body language to better understand what he needs?

2022.01.18 13:03 throwawayplznthx98 I'm taking my toddler to pediatrician. How to I best word things to be taken seriously about testing?
I'm not asking for medical advice per se. Just how to advocate best.
My 19 month old can't seem to get enough to drink. We go through countless diapers. She urinates so much I've tried only offering water and normal amounts of milk. Most parenting resources recommend letting toddlers drink to thirst and offering water as requested and she certainly does. Just to make sure it's not about liking the sweetness from juice/mio. I've tried changing cups to see if it's a boredom thing. She prefers a bottle, even with plain water. She was a NICU baby so she's advanced in so many ways but holds on to other things. But we do offer cups as well. If her drink is empty she'll hand it to me and ask for more quickly.
She's very impatient when I'm making her drinks. She has a pretty voracious appreciate. She's active and smart. She gets moody, but she's a toddler.
I'm taking her to the pediatrician. I want to advocate and have her tested but I don't want to be judged or dismissed.
My father died in his 40s from diabetes complications. My grandmother was constantly ignored when she tried to get him help as a child. All the signs were there. Obviously, the testing wasn't as good as it is now. He got diagnosed way too late. Money was tight and he didn't have health insurance a lot of times. He would go without insulin/meds or use too little. The damage was done. He was a poster child for all the things that can go wrong with mismanaged diabetes. He suffered greatly. It was tough to see. The stories I could tell. He had me young and I was taught early on to look for the signs and symptoms just in case he had an emergency. But he also made sure that I was aware of the early symptoms for myself and others. So when my baby girl is showing these things, I'm concerned.
I hope she's just a really thirsty kid and I'm just being hyper vigilant but how do I best present my concerns to the pediatrician?

2022.01.18 13:03 autotldr Kazakhstan's Tokayev taking ax to Nazarbayev legacy
While stopping short of criticizing Nazarbayev directly, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev made it clear that he saw a history of maladministration, by economic and security officials alike, as being behind unrest last week that claimed dozens of lives.
The blame for the failure to detect that plot, Tokayev said, lay with the National Security Committee, or KNB, Kazakhstan's domestic intelligence agency.
After the death of former President Islam Karimov, Tokayev may be poised to dilute the influence of the security services in favor of the National Guard.
Tokayev made no reference to former KNB chief Karim Masimov, who was arrested last week.
Tokayev might have been borrowing somewhat from another neighbor with his idea of creating the People of Kazakhstan fund.
"Thanks to the first president a group of very profitable companies has appeared in the country, as has a group of people who are rich, even by international standards," Tokayev said.

If you do a stage on Z-Hard first instead of Normal, after clearing it the game will think you've also cleared Normal, but it won't give you the stone for it. So you have to do every stage on Normal first and then Z-Hard if you want to get all the stones from it

2022.01.18 13:03 niin-non Does anyone else not really like doing anything? I've tried out so many things.
I'm constantly fighting boredom and have tried many things in my life. I can't really seem to find a passion or anything I like enough to stick with.
A list of things I've tried and taught myself.
Art in different mediums - Painting, drawing, pastels, wood burning, beading, etc. I've even had a piece displayed in a gallery, but I dropped it as in the end I didn't even like doing it. Knitting Origami Reading - Education articles, fiction and non-fiction, manga, ect Instruments - Piano, ukulele and guitar. I stuck with these long enough that I can play the songs I like. I do like to sing but I'm not out here writing music. Rug making Puzzles and board games Gaming Cooking Gardening Dancing Photography - I have an old film camera I taught myself to use Video and photo editing and other digital art Writing - Poems, creative writing, fanfics, articles that I never ended up posting anywhere Sewing - I used to hand sew dolls and personalize my clothes Self teaching - Different languages and topics, and obviously more than a handful of hobbies Make up Hiking
I literally can't find anything that I can imagine doing for the rest of my life, aside from occasionally strumming my uke and gifting people origami whenever. I feel like I don't even know what I'm doing with my life aside from working and scrolling the internet. This didn't bother me before, I was content to just do my thing but my thing being doing nothing day after day is driving me crazy. I do meditate and self reflect a lot, about an hour a day but when I feel so empty it's kind of meaningless.
Has anyone else gone through this? What else could I try out? I'll try anything as long as it's not a business venture type thing and really expensive.

2022.01.18 13:03 stromateis Labyrinth, Warfighter, or Mage Knight - which to play first?
I've collected several boardgames over the years and for a variety of reason just never got around to playing them. I'm trying to go through my collection and try every one of them out and then sell or trade away whatever doesn't hold my attention.
I like strategy, puzzler type, and wargames, or in other words good thinking games. Basically trying to decide which game to try next. I have Labyrinth, Warfighter (modern) with multiple expansions (all picked up during the early kickstarters), and I have Mage Knight with the Lost Legion expansion. I'll play the others eventually but I've got some minor stressors and would just like to try something fun next.

2022.01.18 13:03 DarkAngel_RedDevil Now no wedding????
Oh my god I am a rollercoaster emotional wreck right now. So I never thought I'd get married….because I didn't want to. Long story. But I found someone who changed that. We got engaged in March of last year and at first I wanted just a small back yard thing. Well, his guest list kept growing and it became evident that may not work. So we found a venue that would sorta support our guest count, but it's tight. We are….well, I am paying for this basically on my own. His mom is helping a little. But I'm the bread winner, so I'm covering about 65-75% of this thing on my own. Recently with it being so hard to get ahold of the venue coordinator I started to think, hell, maybe we should have it in our backyard. We'd lose the deposit, but even with that, I could get everything I want exactly as I want and not spend any more than we would've at the venue (even taking into account the lost deposit). And every time I think he's on board with this idea, he's not. He keeps saying how much work it's going to be and that I don't realize how much work it will be. Just like everyone else in my life, I am underestimated by even him. I have fucking built small deck and stairs on my own. I have remodeled two bathrooms and a kitchen. Granted not like full remodel….but I am capable of so much more than everyone gives me credit for….and so here we go again. I know I'm not a wedding planner, but I am a planner, to the point people think I'm neurotic. Literally I had already been thinking about things like having fire extinguishers in the yard and the garden hose ready, and how many string lights can be connected to one set and how many can be plugged into one outlet, etc. But it doesn't matter. Nothing I say is going to make him realize I am capable of this. I am at the point that I don't want to do anything anymore. Not that I don't want to get married, but seriously I'm not paying 13k for a wedding that isn't how I want it. For me that's a lot of money. But I can't be a dick and say, "I'm paying for 75% of this thing so we do it my way." So I kinda don't want to do anything anymore and I'm in tears at work right now.

Michael Joyce (* 1. února 1973 Santa Monica, Kalifornie) je bývalý americký tenista, který se na profesionálních okruzích pohyboval v letech 1991–2003. Ve své kariéře nevyhrál na okruhu ATP Tour žádný turnaj. Na challengerech ATP získal tři singlové a dva deblové tituly ve čtyřhře.

Po skončení aktivní dráhy se stal trenérem. Mezi roky 2004–2011 vedl Rusku Marii Šarapovovou.

Na žebříčku ATP byl ve dvouhře nejvýše klasifikován v dubnu 1996 na 64. místě a ve čtyřhře pak v červnu 2003 na 181. místě. Trénoval ho Tony Graham.

V juniorském tenisu se probojoval do finále dvouhry Wimbledonu 1991, kde jej zdolal druhý nasazený Švéd Thomas Enqvist.

Tenista se stal tématem eseje amerického spisovatele Davida Fostera Wallaceho, která vyšla v časopise Esquire a později byla zařazena do sbírek A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again a String Theory.

Tenisová kariéra
V rámci okruhu ATP Tour debutoval na srpnovém Los Angeles Open 1992. Vypadl již v prvním kole s krajanem Jeffem Tarangem až po ztraceném tiebreaku rozhodující sady.

Do premiérového semifinále na túře ATP postoupil na lednovém Indonesia Open 1996 v Jakartě po výhře nad rakouskou turnajovou dvojkou Gilbertem Schallerem. Před branami finále jej však vyřadil pozdější nizozemský vítěz Sjeng Schalken. Ve třetím kole skončil o dva měsíce později na březnovém Indian Wells Masters 1996, když do dvouhry postoupil z kvalifikace. Ve druhém kole singlu přehrál Jonase Björkmana, ale následně nestačil na světovou jedničku Peta Samprase. První čtvrtfinále velkého turnaje si zahrál během navazujícího Miami Masters 1996. Ve čtvrtém kole zdolal Švýcara Marca Rosseta. Mezi poslední osmičkou hráčů mu stopku vystavil pozdější šampion Andre Agassi. Bodový zisk zejména z předchozí části roku mu po skončení turnaje v Key Biscayne zajistil posun na kariérní maximum, když 8. dubna 1996 figuroval na 64. místě žebříčku ATP.

Debut v hlavní soutěži nejvyšší grandslamové kategorie zaznamenal v mužském singlu US Open 1991, do něhož mu pořadatelé udělili divokou kartu. Na úvod vyřadil amerického kvalifikanta Pata Crowa a ve druhé fázi podlehl Australanu Wallymu Masurovi po čtyřsetovém průběhu. Grandslamovým maximem se stalo osmifinále ve Wimbledonu 1995, kde ve třech sadách nenašel recept na Japonce Šúzóa Macuoku.

Trenér

Jako tenisový trenér v letech 2004–2011 spolupracoval s Ruskou Marií Šarapovovou a doplňoval otce Jurije Šarapova. Pod Joycovým vedením se hráčka stala světovou jedničkou a vyhrála dva grandslamy. Poprvé jej o trénink s nadějnou tenistkou požádal v Los Angeles její kouč Robert Lansdorp, v době kdy Joyce končil profesionální kariéru. Do týmu se pak vrátil nejdříve jako sparingpartner, Rusku začal doprovázet na okruhu a od léta 2004 převzal roli kouče. Spolupráce trvala do ledna 2011, kdy jej nahradil Švéd Thomas Högstedt.

V období 2012–2017 koučoval Američanku Jessicu Pegulaovou. Na osm měsíců v sezóně 2017 se jeho svěřenkyní stala bývalá světová jednička Viktoria Azarenková, v době návratu po mateřské dovolené. Desetiměsíční spolupráce s britskou jedničkou Johannou Kontaovou skončila v říjnu 2018. Okamžitě pak převzal vedení Kanaďanky Eugenie Bouchardové až do dubna 2019. V červnu téhož roku začal spolupracovat s Maďarkou Tímeou Babosovou.

Finále na juniorském Grand Slamu

Dvouhra juniorů: 1 (0–1)

Logro de Hallowen, dentro de eventos del mundo.
El evento de Hallowen dura desde el 18 de Octubre hasta el 1 de Noviembre.
En la Horda: Limpieza en Entrañas, ¡Bombas fétidas al por mayor!, Un momento para construir y Un momento para destruir.
Y en la Alianza : Limpieza en Ventormenta, ¡Bombas fétidas al por mayor!, Un momento para ganar y Un momento para perder.
En la misión de limpieza de Ventormenta/Entrañas, lo que tendremos que hacer es con un objeto que nos han dado entrar a la ciudad que pertenezca a nuestra facción y limpiar el humo de las bombas fétidas.
En la misión de Bombas fétidas al por mayor, tendremos que hablar con Gertrude Hondopantano en la Alianza o con Crina Hondopantano en la Horda (que están cada una esta en el mismo sitio que nos han dado esa misión) para que nos teletransporte con se escoba a la ciudad contraria y podamos lanzar bombas fétidas a los ciudadanos de esa ciudad.
Luego en la de Un momento para perder/Un momento para destruir, lo que nos pide es que apaguemos el hombre de mimbre con un objeto que nos dan para eso que tiene la facción contraria en sus ciudades, la Alianza tiene que apagar el que hay en las ruinas de Lordaeron encima de Entrañas y la Horda tiene que apagar el que hay en la puerta de Ventormenta.
Por último las misiones de Un momento para construir/Un momento para ganar, nos piden que volvamos a encender el hombre de mimbre que hay en nuestra propia ciudad. Para la Horda tendrá que coger las cenizas que alrededor del hombre de mimbre y luego usar hoguera que hay justo enfrente y la Alianza solo tendrá que usar la hoguera que hay enfrente de su hombre de mimbre.
Y una vez que entreguemos las cuatro misiones completaremos el logro de Santificación podrida.
Aquí os dejo una guía para ayudaros a sacar el logro, espero que os sea útil!
Un saludo espero que sea de ayuda.
All you have to do for the http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1658 is touch the Wickerman outside of Undercity. There are 3 level 60 PvP Wickerman Guards that can be avoided by running up on the bluff behind the wickerman and touching it from there.
These quests are picked up from Sergeant Hartman at Southshore, Hillsbrad Foothills. Run from the flight master towards the inn in the middle of town. He's standing outside. You will need to make a return trip to him to hand them in once you've completed the quests in order to get completion credit towards the achievement.
for the quest you need to clean up the hordes mess (i dont see how thats ruining it for them but OK). Go to Southshore (where the questgiver is) and look for the hordies dropping Bombs (there big and red, cant miss em) this isn't real fun - because alot of ally are doing this too.. but if your patient u should get it.
go to 59 , 69 in Thristfal Glades (yes a hordie area) and just run up to the Statue at 59,69 and run away and Voila! Easy enough?
It appears that this year they've added Forsaken Pranksters that will come in and throw stink bombs around every so often, so no more dependence on Horde players for this achievement.
If you are having trouble seeing the Wickerman statue it is probably because you've started the "Battle for Undercity" quest line and you are now phased out. You'll notice a message "The Battle of Undercity" on the top of your screen and you'll be unable to see NPCs/other players. Even if you've abandoned the quest you'll still be phased out, to resolve this you must complete the entire quest line (blue post).
It is outside the city.
Yeah, at least give us a chance to turn on Loderan's sprinkler system during the bonfire, and break off the handle too for good measure.
Also, that ale in southshore should be a piece offering for undercity.
Actually, I was there while no Horde were and bottles randomly showed up, so they don't have to be there.
It works well if you have someone from a guild with mass summon already there.
I made a thousand gold when I summoned a group of 10, charging each 100g.
I think it means to try to put out the fires of the Wickerman.
A Time to Gain and Clean Up Stormwind are pretty straightforward as both quests can be done right in SW.
Stink Bombs Away! is also basic as you only have to speak to an NPC with the questgivers and you'll ported to Undercity to complete the quest.
A Time to Lose is where things get irritating as the flight to UC is long. However, there are a couple options to speed that up.
Take the zepplin in Grom'gol. If you have a flying mount, you can land on top of the balloon on the zepplin to avoid aggroing the guards on the zep. This is also a speedy way to get over to Durotar if you want to find Horde for Check Your Head.
As Emaziz states in A Time to Lose comments, you can just log out while on the broom in UC for Stink Bombs Away!. This will port you to the graveyard near Scarlet Monastary.
For your return trip, you can take the zepplin back, or just hearth.
On This Achievement Santificación podrida You need to do 4 Quests. 3 of them you doing in same place but last one you need to travel far.

So i was gifted my neighbour next doors i9s a week ago as he's moved back to china for work. Was pretty happy with a free kayak he hadn't used his i9s in almost a year an doesnt look like it was well taken care of it just sat in the back of his workshop on a pvc stand deflated. It was filthy dusty dirty? sandy in sport i gave it a good clean up yesterday with the hose. Now what i know is its out of warranty its the old model with the non vantage seat a v2 drive with turbo fins an inflateables dont last for ever so hadls me a bit bumber out. If nothing else i have a backup drive for my revo i guess.
There seems to be a leak in 2 chambers basicaly i pumped it to 3psi on the sides an 5 psi on the floor as is the normal for the i9s. After 5 hrs the left hand chamber was still steady at 3psi so no leak. The floor chamber had dropped to 4psi and the right hand chamber had dropped to 1 1/2 psi. This was using my hobie sup pump with the built in pressure gauge. Now ive sprayed it down all over looking for a leak somewhere with soapy water an come up empty an im left scratching my head. Could it be the valves are deteriorated or since it was so filthy have sand or dirt stuck inside not creating a 100% seal? or am i looking at a pin hole internal leak of some kind. I cant hear an audible leak either. My local hobie dealer here in Australia doesn't have any valves in stock an would take about a 7 to 10 days to get them (im in a regional area). I also dont have the tool to take them off an clean.
Im going away in 2 days for 10 days camping an was thinking about taking the kayak with me even though it has these slow leaks. Any reason why i cant use it as is id have the pump with me an figure i could just top it up every couple of hours if need be id be on a calm river or would it just leak alot faster with my weight on it in the water. Never really owned an inflatable kayak or boat before an havnt had it on the water yet. What would you guts do take it an use it as is or wait an get the valves looked at or replaced first before using it on the water.
Did you put soapy water over the valve of the most leaky chamber? It may just be grit temporarily caught in where the valve moving parts clap together to make a seal. See this video around the 3/4 point for just spraying soapy water into it while flicking the valve open and closed, or at most swabbing a qtip there to do the job without any tools. There are dozens of such high quality NRS videos on tracking down and curing leaks.
I carry an air pump aboard my i12s and a sticky patch kit. There are special liquids for sloshing around inside the chambers to seal hidden pinhole leaks that have been described in this forum, but valve problems are supposed to be more common.
edited in P.S.: now I remember briefly having a valve leak and I just released the air in little one second bursts a few dozen times and it cleared the grit out. Not locking the valve open, but pfft pfft pfft machine gun style.


In a move away from the open or low-fenced grounds that have traditionally been a feature of Australian school design, the last decade has seen a growth in the installation of high-security fences around schools. These structures, far from being passive and neutral, act to redefine the possibilities for movement and connectivity in the local landscape. This paper looks beyond the impact of fences on safety and security to explore the wider implications of these structures. By bringing together perspectives on children's experience of independent mobility, belonging and attachment to place, the paper opens up new avenues for thinking about how children's learning is shaped by the relationship between school, community and the boundaries between them. It provides a starting point for understanding how high-security boundaries can impact on children's learning and why at times these structures may pose more risks than those they aim to address.


A team of researchers at UCSF and the Kaiser Family Foundation has launched a new web portal this month that aims to answer that most practical of public health questions: What works?
Think of it as Cliffs Notes for global health. The new website – Global Health Intervention Review (GHIR) – summarizes all of the interventions used to prevent and treat eight infectious diseases and other health conditions: Dengue fever, HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB, waterborne diarrhea, maternal hemorrhage, maternal sepsis and unintended pregnancy.
Want to know how effectively insecticides control malaria or Dengue fever? Can't recall the key antibiotic regimens for tuberculosis? Need to find out which is more effective at reducing water-borne diarrhea: vaccines or clean water efforts? Need to know which forms of birth control work best in avoiding pregnancy?
The website answers those questions and more, said UCSF professor James G. Kahn, MD, MPH, who led the effort to compile the information behind it. Kahn is an expert in policy modeling in health care, cost-effectiveness analysis, and evidence-based medicine used to inform decision-making in public health and medicine.
The website is designed to help policy-makers and funders sort through the best available information on prevention and treatment, find which have the largest effects and best supporting evidence and invest wisely in them to reduce the risk of death and disease in the developing world.
The work started about three years ago when the Kaiser Family Foundation approached Kahn to create this "meta-systematic review" for the Kaiser Global Health web portal.
Based at the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies and in the Institute for Global Health, both at UCSF, the team included Elliot Marseille, Mohsen Malekinejad and Brian Harris. Together with Kahn, they identified all existing systematic reviews, extracted and synthesized their findings, and checked the work with experts .
According to Kahn, the team found the best source of consistent and complete information to be from the Cochrane Collaboration, the leading global organization that produces systematic reviews in health that has both a center that coordinates its work and an HIV review group at UCSF.
In addition to including background and epidemiology for each disease, the site lays out the strength of evidence for each intervention. According to Kahn, he and his colleagues are now designing a system that allows a user to interactively compare and combine intervention strategies in terms of effect on disease burden, cost and cost-effectiveness.

Bears vs. Lions preview: 5 things to watch on Thanksgiving Day
By Sean Hammond
November 24, 2021 at 10:29 am CST

Thanksgiving is synonymous with football. Somewhat regrettably, this year's holiday will kick off with the Bears (3-7) against the Lions (0-9-1) in a matchup that will be missing Justin Fields, the most exciting young player on either team.
Bears fans will tune in nonetheless. Andy Dalton will start Thursday for the Bears while Fields rests his injured ribs. The Bears need a win to break their five-game losing streak and the Lions, well, are still hunting for their first win.
Here are five things to watch Thursday.
1. Matt Nagy's future
Speculation ran wild this week when a report surfaced that Thursday's game might be coach Matt Nagy's last in charge of the Bears. He denied that Tuesday, calling the report inaccurate. He did not, however, say that he had been assured he will coach out the season.
So his future remains in limbo.
Really, nothing much has changed. Nagy's future has been in doubt, whether officially or not, for several weeks (arguably since last year). What's clear is that the Bears really need a win. Like, really, really need a win. A loss to the hapless Lions might be the final nail in the coffin.
[ Matt Nagy says report he will be fired after Thursday's game is 'not accurate' ]

2. Andy Dalton's return to the starting job
Dalton's return isn't going to be long term. In a perfect world, this will be his only start. The health of Fields' ribs will determine that, though.
Look for the Bears to prepare a game plan much like they did in Weeks 1 and 2, when Dalton was the starter. They will want him to release the ball quickly. Let Darnell Mooney work in space, like he did on last week's 60-yard touchdown run. Let the running game dictate the tempo behind running back David Montgomery.
Dalton and Fields are not the same quarterback. Their game plans shouldn't be either. The good thing is this Bears offense was built around the idea that Dalton would be the starter.
[ Andy Dalton will start Thursday against the Detroit Lions, Matt Nagy confirms ]
3. Will the Bears defense rebound?
The Bears defense played a great game Sunday against the Ravens – until the final two minutes. The Ravens didn't score a touchdown until the final minute. The breakdowns in the secondary were egregious, particularly on the blown coverage that went for 29 yards on third-and-12.

Defensive coordinator Sean Desai knows it must be better in a key moment like that. He said the team ran the same coverage a dozen times in the game and never had a mistake quite so bad as that.
"It's inexcusable and I think the guys know that it's unacceptable, and we've got to make sure that we don't do that," Desai said.
If ever there was a team to rebound against, it's the Lions. They are 30th in scoring (16 points per game) and 27th in total offense (312 yards per game). Their leading receivers are tight end T.J. Hockenson (499 yards) and running back D'Andre Swift (420 yards). Not a single player at the wide receiver position has reached 400 receiving yards on the season.
4. Can the Bears keep getting pressure?
Bears outside linebacker Robert Quinn had 3.5 sacks last week, bringing his season total to 10 sacks in 10 games. The Bears will need more of that this week. The Lions allow pressure on 25.8% of dropbacks, per Pro Football Reference, which is seventh-worst among NFL teams.
Lions rookie tackle Penei Sewell, the seventh overall draft pick, has moved over to right tackle and performed well in recent weeks. Left tackle Taylor Decker battled injuries all season, but played every snap in each of the past two games.
The Bears, as a team, had six sacks against Baltimore. Can they keep it up this week?
5. Is David Montgomery poised for a big day?
This feels like the type of game where it might be wise to hand off to the running back a whole bunch. The Lions defense ranks 31st against the run, allowing 140.5 rushing yards per game.
Bears running back David Montgomery has played in two games since returning from a knee injury, but has not been the focal point of the attack. Montgomery ran for 63 yards on 13 carries against Pittsburgh and 58 yards on 14 carries against Baltimore.
Playing with their backup quarterback against a winless opponent, the Bears don't need to overthink the offensive game plan Thursday.

CPMLM - Declaration 59 - Capitalist or semi-feudal semi-colonial countries? Trotskyism or dialectical materialism?
What is happening in Ukraine, in Palestine, in Syria, in Iraq... imposes to repeat the basic teaching of dialectical materialism about the nature of countries in the world.
According dialectical materialism, the world is divided in two kind of countries. The first category consists in the capitalist countries, which became imperialist. In those countries, the main aspect is the contradiction between proletariat and bourgeoisie, the task is the socialist revolution. This is not the case elsewhere: in the process of submitting the other kind of countries, those countries have strengthen feudalism, in particular in producing a strict organization of big landowners.
This destroyed the traditional local production and its simple reproduction, giving birth to mass emigration, both to the cities and the imperialist countries. Another aspect was the organization of a bureaucratic capitalist bourgeoisie, submitted to imperialism. The consequence is that in those countries, the first stage of the revolution is democratic, abolishing feudalism and destroying the imperialist domination, and the revolution becomes then, uninterrupted, a socialist revolution, knowing many cultural revolutions.
Of course, the law of contradiction is valid here for each kind of category. The imperialist countries divided themselves in traditional imperialist countries and superpowers, with the Soviet social-imperialism and the United States of America. The semi-colonial semi-feudal countries divided themselves in countries of a traditional kind and semi-colonial semi-feudal expansionist powers. Here, we find very important works about it written in Afghanistan by Akram Yari, in Bangladesh by Siraj Sikder, in Turkey by Ibrahim Kaypakkaya.
This is the basic teaching of dialectical materialism. And of course, the counter-revolution reacts to it with many ideologies, also sometimes pretending to be "revolutionary". Despite all the variants, all those ideologies consider of course that there are no semi-colonial semi-feudal countries. Trotskyism spreads, like Hoxhaism and others ideologies, the conception that all the countries in the world are capitalist. It means that the socialist revolution would be necessary everywhere, and not one side democratic revolutions, on the other side socialist revolutions.
The consequence is here easy to understand: this counter-revolutionary conception negates the semi-feudal aspect in the oppressed countries. In doing this, it helps to maintain those countries in a backward situation. Even if there are "modernizations", even if there are modern cities, feudalism is deeply rooted.
For example, we can see how the caste system is still very strong in India's modern cities. Religious superstition is prevalent in the modern cities of the oil gulf states. The factories of Bangladesh are marked by classical feudal authoritarianism, etc.
Trotskyism and others ideologies try so to prevent the democratic revolution, in negating the feudal aspect, in two ways. The first way is the traditional negation of any democratic struggle as reformist, as non-socialist and so as counter-revolutionary. This is for example the position in France of "Lutte ouvrière", rejecting the principle of national liberation.
The other position is to consider all the feudal or bourgeois bureaucratic movements as bourgeois anti-imperialism. This is the position carried historically by the "United Secretariat of the Fourth International", where the French "Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire" played an important role. This position brings confusion and disorientation, helping the feudal forces and bureaucratic bourgeois factions.
When we look at Palestine, we can see the very counter-revolutionary role played by the Hamas against the national liberation and the democratic revolution. In the Gaza stripe, the Hamas worked against any democratic tendency. It spread religious superstitions, it negated the national liberation in favour of an Islamic "reawakening", etc. All this corresponds to the feudal ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood.
When we look at Iraq, we can see how the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" was produced by feudal forces, and the same happened in Afghanistan with the Taliban factions. In Syria, we can see how the "opposition" to the Syrian fascist state consists in bureaucratic capitalists linked to some imperialist forces (like France, the USA) and feudal forces. In Ukraine, it is also very clear that the struggle is between bureaucratic capitalist factions – one pro-US and European Union, the other pro-Russia.
In fact, in the oppressed countries, unless there is as people's war, the masses are always caught between feudal or bureaucratic capitalist factions, being submitted to an imperialist force in concurrency against other. Any other conception is a negation of the necessity of the democratic revolution. As feudalism is the basis permitting the constitution of a bureaucratic capitalist faction, how can there be any progress without an offensive against feudalism?
As Ibrahim Kaypakkaya expressed it:
"'The contradiction' playing in semi-colonial semi-feudal countries the leading and decisive role on the contradiction between imperialism and the country in question is the contradiction between feudalism and the popular masses.
Imperialism resumes its existence and domination in these countries by sustaining feudalism in the political and ideological fields, by strengthening it and retarding the winding up of feudal ownership and feudal relations."
(quoted in The relationship between semi-colonialism and semi-feudalism / CPMLM [Bangladesh] - CPMLM [France])
When feudalism is supported by imperialism and semi-colonial semi-feudal expansionist powers, then it is strong and wins the masses through romanticism. This is true in the oppressed countries, but also in sectors of the masses in the imperialist countries. And trotskyism helps the feudal ideology in presenting it as a "resistance", as progressive.
This is very clear with the demonstrations in western Europe since the new Zionist aggression in Gaza, demonstrations marked by antisemitic events in France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, etc. These demonstrations were notably carried by a collusion of Islamist forces – with the Muslim Brotherhood in particular in the Turkish community – and Trotskyism.
The masses must be aware of this feudal aspect of the reality of the world, and the role of Trotskyism in supporting it.
