Stranger's kindness helps save young hockey player's life
Posted 10:12 PM, October 21, 2014, by Katharin Czink and Dina Bair
A small act of kindness. A stranger steps in and changes the course for a young hockey player– near death after collapsing in front of his teammates. This is a story about heart, getting involved and saving a life.
Emily Petersen, Lurie Children's nurse practitioner: "Do you mind if I take a listen to you?"
Just as she does for all her patients, nurse practitioner Emily Petersen checks Grey Small's heart rate and his incision site.
Emily Petersen: "No puffiness, no swelling?"
The 16-year-old had a defibrillator implanted a day ago. It's not the first time she's cared for Grey. Three days before he arrived at Lurie Children's … Emily saved his life.
His passion for hockey started early.
Marilyn Dunn, Grey's mother: "He started skating lessons when he was about four. I was sort of hoping he would outgrow it by the time he got to the checking leagues, but he didn't. He liked it even more."
Grey Small: "It's been my favorite sport forever."
On Sunday, October 5, Grey warmed up with his Oak Park River Forest High School team at Paul Hruby Arena.
Grey Small: "I was bringing my stick and my tape to watch the junior varsity game before mine."
As he stood just off the ice, he collapsed.
Emily Petersen: "We were standing over the end of the rink where the players are."
Emily happened to be at the rink to watch her boyfriend ref the varsity game. She saw the commotion as Grey's teammates called for help.
Emily Petersen: "I said, 'I'm going to wander over there.' I looked at his color, and he didn't look good. I knelt down and said, 'I'm a nurse.' I checked for a pulse at his neck, and I could not discern a pulse so I started compressions."
As Emily performed CPR, she called for an AED, which was a few steps away from where Grey had collapsed. Just as it was placed on Grey's chest, paramedics arrived and took control of the scene.
Emily Petersen: "He required a shock and that got him back into a normal rhythm. After that he started breathing."
Grey had been in ventricular fibrillation – a sudden cardiac arrest. His heart was quivering, unable to pump blood to his brain and other organs.
Emily Petersen: "The paramedics were two to three blocks away coming from the fire station, so they actually arrived pretty quickly but if not we would have shocked him with our own AED that we had there. Thank God because otherwise he would have died. No doubt about it, 100 percent."
As Grey recovered at a local hospital, his teammates showed their sign of support. Once he was transferred to Lurie's Cardiac Care Unit – the floor where Emily just happens to work – another encouraging voice.
Emily Petersen: "I've been taking care of him since last Tuesday. It's been very surreal. It kind of came full circle."
Robert Small, Grey's Father: "She shows up in the room, it's like 'Yes!' She gave us a gift that it's irreplaceable."
Marilyn Dunn: "The fact that it happened in a place where there were people around, people who knew what to do, the equipment they needed. It's so lucky. I can't even comprehend how lucky we were."
Robert Small: "If Emily hadn't been there, if they didn't have the AED at the rink, the paramedics were three blocks away, all those things. If any one of those things isn't in place, we have a whole different story here."
Grey Small: "I was in the right place, she was in the right place, everything worked out. I was just crazy lucky. I'm happy to be alive."
On the day Grey is released from the hospital – one last photo and the chance to share his story with the hope it will encourage others to step in and help.
Grey Small: "I just want to stress the importance of people knowing how to perform CPR and having AEDs in public places."
Emily Petersen: "And doing compressions, whether you think you're doing them right or wrong, doing them saves lives. It saved him. The AED saved him."
The Chicago Blackhawks will honor Emily for her life-saving efforts on October 28 during a pre-game ceremony. Grey and his family will be there to cheer her on.

Julia Bond Wins 2021 PWBA Hall Of Fame Classic
27/01/2021 Dom International News, Womens Bowling 0
ARLINGTON, Texas – Julia Bond of Aurora, Illinois, has enjoyed success at every level of her bowling career, and she raised the bar again Tuesday as she claimed her first Professional Women's Bowling Association Tour title at the 2021 PWBA Hall of Fame Classic.
Just two days shy of her 25th birthday, Bond rebounded from a ninth-frame split with a title-clinching double, defeating top seed Lindsay Boomershine of Perry, Utah, 222-210.
The Hall of Fame Classic was the final event of the PWBA Kickoff Classic Series, which included three national tour stops and one regional event during its seven-day run at the International Training and Research Center, the home of Team USA.
The victory, broadcast live on BowlTV, earned Bond a $10,000 top prize.
The right-hander already was a three-time PWBA regional winner, in addition to a victory at the made-for-TV Go Bowling! PWBA Regional Showdown in 2019, but the cancellation of the 2020 season due to the pandemic delayed her opportunity to build on the things she learned during her rookie campaign in 2019.
"I'm extremely proud of myself and how far I've come," said Bond, who had sixth-place finishes at the 2019 PWBA Lincoln Open and 2017 U.S. Women's Open. "There's naturally going to be some doubt when you go to the next level, but being able to push through in such a pressure situation and come away with my first title feels amazing."
The five-time Team USA member and former standout at the University of Nebraska entered Tuesday's championship round at the ITRC as the No. 4 seed and rolled through the stepladder with 28 strikes in her four matches.
As she did throughout the four games, Bond was able to strike early in the title match and put pressure on Boomershine, who was looking for the first championship-round win of her PWBA career.
Consecutive strikes from Boomershine in the sixth, seventh and eighth frames allowed her to cut into a deficit of more than 40 pins, and a 4-6-7-10 split from Bond in the ninth frame gave Boomershine the chance to lock up her first title with two more strikes and a nine-count.
Boomershine, a 35-year-old right-hander, struck in the ninth frame but left a 4 pin on the first offering of her final frame. After the conversion, she left the 3-6-9-10 combination to let some of the pressure off Bond. Had Boomershine gotten nine on the fill ball, she would've forced Bond to throw a double. Instead, Bond only needed to fill 19 pins.
In five previous stepladder appearances, Boomershine averaged just 165. Her best finish on the PWBA Tour was a second-place effort at the 2016 PWBA St. Petersburg-Clearwater Open.
To help move on from her past struggles, Boomershine has worked hard on her mental game. Her focus on keeping matches closes and finishing strong allowed her to compile a 19-5 record on the way to the top of the standings in the all-match-play Hall of Fame Classic.
While the hard work and preparation didn't translate to her first PWBA Tour win, Boomershine collected three top-10 finishes at the Kickoff Classic Series. She was sixth in the Bowlers Journal Classic and seventh in the ITRC Classic.
"It didn't turn out the way I wanted, but I didn't miss a spare, and I shot over 200, so we're making moves, and I bowled the best game I could," said Boomershine, who was slowed by a 7-10 split in the fourth frame against Bond. "(This week) shows me I'm getting better. My spare shooting was good, I stuck to the game plan and I had a bad break. I wish the 7 or the 10 would've fallen. I only missed the pocket, I think, on the fill shot. I didn't really want to give away the head pin. I didn't want six, but it is what it is at this point.
"It has been a great week, I'm happy with my performance and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year. I'm up there in the points, so hopefully it's not devastating this time. I have a great support system, and I just hope I made everyone proud."
On the way to the title, Bond was able to showcase many of her strengths as the 41-foot oil pattern broke down, and the display of versatility included keeping her angles tight when the pattern was fresh, staying patient and using her ball speed to combat the transition.
A ball change heading into her semifinal meeting with 16-year-old Jillian Martin of Stow, Ohio, provided the firepower Bond needed to win the high-scoring matchup, 245-211.
Bond started the game with four consecutive strikes, and eight strikes in her first nine frames, while Martin kept the pressure on with five consecutive strikes after a first-frame spare. Back-to-back single pins and a 2-4-8-10 split from Martin ended her bid to become the youngest bowler in history to win a PWBA Tour event.
Martin had two opportunities this week to replace United States Bowling Congress and PWBA Hall of Famer Wendy Macpherson in the record book as the tour's youngest winner. Macpherson won the U.S. Women's Open in 1986 at the age of 18.
Martin's week also included a runner-up finish to Bryanna Cot' of Tucson, Arizona, in the ITRC Classic and an eighth-place performance in the season-opening Bowlers Journal Classic, won by two-time reigning PWBA Player of the Year Shannon O'Keefe of Shiloh, Illinois, for her 14th PWBA Tour title.
In each of the first two stepladder matches Tuesday, Bond was able to pile on the strikes out of the gate to pull ahead early.
Against Erin McCarthy of Omaha, Nebraska, a PWBA Tour champion in 2018, Bond struck five times in her first six frames to set the pace. A late ball change and double from McCarthy, coupled with an open frame from Bond, gave McCarthy a chance to add some pressure, but a 10 pin on the first shot of her final frame ended her run. Bond advanced to the semifinal by a score of 213-191.
Bond opened the night with a 213-157 victory over two-time PWBA Tour champion Dasha Kovalova of Ukraine. Bond struck three times in the first four frames to build a sizable lead, while three open frames never allowed Kovalova to gain any momentum.
"I had a good rookie season, but I felt in my heart I could've done better," Bond said. "I used the time off to work on some things, including my speed control, opening up my angles and making smarter, quicker choices, and to be able to test that progress on the biggest stage for women's bowling and find success means so much."
The field for the Series-ending tournament featured the week's top 24 performers, based on their combined qualifying totals from the Bowlers Journal Classic and ITRC Classic. The 18-game pinfall totals then were dropped, and the contenders battled over 24 head-to-head matches, with 30 bonus pins awarded for each victory, to determine the five players for Tuesday's championship round.
Boomershine, Martin and O'Keefe were the only three players from the week's 36-bowler field to make the match-play portion of all three national tournaments.
Three competitors – Martin, McCarthy and Kovalova – each made two championship-round appearances during the Kickoff Classic Series.
All of the qualifying and match-play rounds at the Kickoff Classic Series were broadcast live at BowlTV.com and will remain in the BowlTV archives for fans who want to revisit the action.
The 2021 PWBA Kickoff Classic Series marked the first national PWBA competition since September 2019. The 2020 PWBA Tour season was canceled due to COVID-19.
The prize fund for each of the three national tour stops is $65,000, with $10,000 going to each champion.
The 2021 PWBA Tour season will resume April 22 for the PWBA Twin Cities Open in Eagan, Minnesota.
In all, the 2021 PWBA Tour schedule will feature 20 events, highlighted by the introduction of the Classic Series events and an increase in the season's overall prize fund by nearly $400,000.

Nadella recognises partners for their efforts this year
Microsoft's CEO has used a call with shareholders to recognise the solid year that partners have helped the firm deliver in 2016
It is always good to get recognition for hard work and Microsoft's CEO has used one of the last set piece engagements of this year talking to shareholders to praise the role the channel has played this year.
Satya Nadella's look back over 2016 with the annual shareholders meeting saw him talk up the impact of the changes that have been ushered in with his leadership, with the firm focusing on cloud, personal computing and business productivity.
"This last year has been a year of solid progress at Microsoft as well as with our customers and partners," he told shareholders, "perhaps, what is most unique about our mission is our focus on our customers and our partners' success and what they can do by building on our technology."
nadella said that the firm had seen a solid year of progress with products like Office 365 and its cloud platform enjoying growth but it would continue to have an open door to recieve ideas from its channel base.
"We will continue to embrace the growth mindset and listen to learn from each other, from our customers, our partners, from the world in which we operate and to make Microsoft the place where everyone can do their best work," he said.
Chiming in with the biggest trend in the industry Nadella also had some words to share about digital transformation, which represents one of the most significant opportunities for partners in 2017.
"As I travel and talk to customers, one of the most profound changes that's happening in the world today is that every organization is becoming a digital organisation," he added "Our role is to ensure that the data is not just an exhaust, but is converted into actionable helpful insights and intelligence, as computing becomes more ubiquitous converting data into ambient intelligence that can fuel digital transformation is at the very core of our innovation agenda."
Nadella touched on its most recent OS release and said that the focus on security had helped increase enterprise sales threefold in the last six months and overall there were now, "more than 400m monthly active devices on Windows 10".

Justin Hunt, the former chief operating officer of Ohio's medical marijuana program, is now working for a large-scale grower.
COLUMBUS – The former chief of Ohio's new medical marijuana program is now working for a large cultivator, continuing a national trend in which industry regulators later find jobs in the industry.
Justin Hunt served as chief operating officer of the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program at the Ohio Department of Commerce until May 2018.
He is now the executive vice president for Grow Ohio Pharmaceuticals, a large-scale marijuana cultivator and processor outside Zanesville.
Ohio's revolving door laws prevent Hunt from representing the company before his former employer, the Ohio Department of Commerce, and any other state agency for one year after leaving his government job. His last day with the agency was Dec. 7, 2018.
He is also barred forever from sharing confidential information acquired in his state job with his new employer.
A Department of Commerce spokeswoman said Hunt notified the agency he was seeking employment in the industry in accordance with state ethics law. Hunt began considering industry jobs in October 2018 and applied for a job as the executive director of the "Statewide Medical Cannabis Industry Trade Association," according to the Ohio Ethics Commission opinion he requested.
"We have the right people in place that handle anything legislatively or that go before the department," Hunt told The Enquirer on Thursday.
Hunt described his new role as overseeing daily operations in addition to planning long-term strategy for the company.
Hunt is the first person to leave the agency's medical marijuana program to work in the industry, according to spokeswoman Kerry Francis. Matt Close, a former assistant director and chief of staff, left the department last month to work for a new industry association.
Turnover in state-regulated marijuana programs is common. Illinois' medical marijuana director quit in 2016 after one year. He started a cannabis company that unsuccessfully applied for licenses in Ohio.
Grow Ohio CEO Mel Kurtz said Hunt's experience is an asset.
Hunt, 35, began working at the department in 2015 as a deputy director. He was promoted to the top post in the medical marijuana program in August 2016, two months after Ohio passed its medicinal cannabis law.
Hunt was a licensed attorney but had no prior experience in the marijuana industry nor in highly-regulated industries, according to a copy of his resume obtained by The Enquirer through a public records request. He previously worked as a sports agent and continued to do so while he worked on the medical marijuana program.
Hunt led efforts to set up regulations and review applications to grow marijuana, make marijuana products and test marijuana for safety and potency.
The licensing process fell behind schedule in fall 2017 and the program missed the law's deadline to be fully operational. The agency came under fire for errors and mistakes in the cultivation license application scoring process.
In March 2018, Mark Hamlin was brought over from the lieutenant governor's office to lead the program. That's when Hunt's oversight of the program ended, Francis said.
"He wasn't making any kind of licensing decisions after that point," Francis said.
Hunt was officially named "director of strategy" in May 2018. Hunt earned $91,048 in 2017, his only full year as the state's top medical marijuana regulator, payroll records show.
As director of strategy, Hunt's only involvement with the marijuana program was on technology issues, Francis said. Francis said the position is vacant and may not be filled under Gov. Mike DeWine's new commerce director, Sheryl Maxfield.
Grow Ohio received the second-highest score out of 109 large cultivator applications. Applications were scored through a double-blind process where identifiable information was redacted for reviewers. The company was the first to receive final approval to start making marijuana-infused oils, lotions and other products.
"Multiple reviews were done that showed that there was no one person who could have undue influence on the scoring process," Francis said.

Finding Balance: How One Student Manages CF at College
Learn how Rachel Kinney manages her CF while away at college.
By Dora Nagy
Learning, Growing and Facing New Challenges
Real Talk: Expectations vs. Reality – Part 1
For many students, going to college can be challenging. The change in environment, a new schedule, classes, homework, extracurricular activities and social life can be difficult to balance. Add in care and treatment time for a chronic disease like cystic fibrosis, and that juggling act becomes even more complex.
Just ask Rachel Kinney, a rising junior majoring in computer science at Johns Hopkins University.
One of the most difficult challenges Rachel faces as a college student is navigating her new-found independence. For the first time in her life, she is fully responsible for her own treatments and therapies.
"Like every other college student, I wake up bright and early, attend classes, study and prepare for tests. Within all that, I need to fit in all of my treatments for cystic fibrosis," said Rachel, who spends between two and three hours daily completing CF therapies. "It's so easy to say I'll do it later, or I'll do it in the morning, or I'll double up down the line."
Rachel knows skipping treatments can lead to serious health problems and hospitalizations, so to help her stay on top of her game, she surrounds herself with friends, professors and dorm mates who all have her best interests in mind.
"All my friends know I have CF. There's no hiding anything from them, and they are so supportive," Rachel said. "Having that support is absolutely crucial, especially in college."
In addition to a strong support system made up of her peers and professors, Rachel also plans on registering with her school's Office of Student Disability Services. The program helps ensure a fair learning environment where students with health challenges like CF get the accommodations they need to have a positive educational experience.
Hear more about Rachel and how she manages CF in college by watching the video below.

After the 19-day pre-Karnataka poll gaping, petrol and diesel was again hiked up to 17 paise and 21 paise respectively as state-run oil marketing companies raised the prices which was remain unchanged since 24 April.
The price hike comes after the closed voting of the Karnataka Assembly elections 2018 which gets over on Saturday. The price of petrol reached a record high of Rs 66.14 per litre as against Rs 65.93 per litre on 24 April in Delhi while in the case of diesel, it goes to Rs 76.06 per litre as against Rs 74.63 litre per litre on 24 April.
According to the National Democratic Allianz government, they have no role in increasing the price as the three government-run oil marketing companies- Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd (BPCL), Hindustan petroleum Corp. Ltd (HPCL) and Indian Oil Corp. Ltd (IOCL) introduced dynamic fuel pricing system in June thus following the footprints of US and Australia where fuel prices fluctuates as per the global oil pricing changes.
Another reason can also be the epic move of the President Donald Trump to back out from the 2015 accord with energy rich Iran which results a sharp spike of international crude oil prices.
As India id the third largest oil importer in the world, the global market price fluctuation will definitely affect it too. It would adversely affect India's trade deficit and hence current account deficit which is at 1.9% of GDP.


Persons of interest aired on CBS from September 22, 2011, to June 21, 2016. The series is a science fiction, crime, and drama presentation because of the following reasons as displayed on the pilot episode. The show is science fiction because, in the first and last conversation between the two compatriots, Finch informs John Reese that he has secretly developed a supercomputer system known as "The Machine." The system does not exist in the real world, but the show informs that it is capable of collecting all sources of information to predict and identify people planning to commit a crime (Mittell, 2010). While walking in the park, Finch even tells Reese that the system has ten thousand eyes and listens with a million ears.

Knoxville man arrested for allegedly shooting up church with .38-caliber pistol
A Knoxville, Tennessee, man has been arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly shooting at a church and the home of a local pastor with a handgun.
A Knoxville police officer said Sunday that 26-year-old Austin E. Brown was arrested at his home in the 1700 block of Main Street in Knoxville around 3 p.m.
He is charged with aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Police said they got a 911 call from a man in the church parking lot saying that someone was shooting and that Brown was in the parking lot.
He said he had heard shots, and the church had a smoke machine, so he went inside and found Brown shooting.
He was taken to the hospital and later charged with assault with the deadly weapon, police said.
Brown's next court appearance is scheduled for Monday.

[Long Read] Education Policy In India: Time For Some Uncomfortable Questions And Answers, Time For Change
by Gautam Desiraju - Mar 6, 2022 05:09 PM +05:30 IST
An inside view of a medical library (Wikimedia Commons)
Given the nature of the problems facing the Indian education sector and the country at large, the time for piecemeal solutions is long gone.
This an excerpt from a graduation address given to students of the Madras Christian College on 25 February 2022.
I am very pleased to be in Madras Christian College to deliver this address today. MCC is an 185 year old, established educational institution. It has moved successfully with the times over its long and illustrious history. This is why it has retained its standing and has a brand value. It is ranked among the top liberal arts and sciences colleges in the country. Today there are new opportunities and the college will need to orient its programs in the scenario of a rapidly changing and aspirational India.
In this brief talk, I would like to tell you about why we need to rethink our strategies for education and research in India. COVID, in a way, should be the catalyst for a change in our thinking, because it has highlighted some of the problems we have been facing and trying to pretend didn't exist. I will start with higher education and then say a few things about education policies in general.
COVID, whatever havoc it has caused all over the world, and there is no doubt that it is a catastrophe, of a type not witnessed in our lifetimes, is also a perfect storm for deep reform in education and research. It provides the trigger for a completely new relook into these critical sectors.
The time for piecemeal solutions that are based on consensual arrangements and political calculations has long since passed. Any attempt to cling on to these old, safer, more comfortable ways of doing things will get us into serious trouble, and that too quite quickly. We must reform because there is now no alternative.
The shortcomings that have led us to the brink of this abyss are far too numerous to bear repeating in this lecture. Suffice it to say that these have been sins of omission and sins of commission and these have been committed literally non-stop by us since 1947 with the result that many young people, and let us not forget that these are the intended beneficiaries of any educational system, are a demoralised and disillusioned lot. They see no connection between merit and reward, between input and output, and between cause and effect.
The awakening of a new aspirational class is a welcome development but being aspirational, this large group of youngsters mostly from less privileged backgrounds and from the hinterland, are also impatient. They want education to bring tangible improvements into their lives, and too, quickly. If this is not forthcoming, there will be mass anger. This is something our politicians need to factor. Their old methodologies may not work in future.
How were education and research managed in India for the last 70 years?
Essentially higher education was mostly funded by the government. Government funding was small, but it was there and after that, the idea was to do something to the best of one's abilities and then to hope for the best based on the limited inputs that one was getting in terms of money. The population was huge, largely uneducated and there was no money.
Now naturally with this kind of a thing: weak funding, do something as best as you can, and then hope for the best, the results are bound to be limited. One cannot blame educationists, teachers and students for the lack of tangible or quantifiable earth-shaking outputs.
We have state universities which handle the largest number of students but have almost no funding and no research, then we have central universities which have a little more funding and a bit more research. In the end, there must be a certain amount of research in any post-graduate institution.
Separating teaching and research has been a foolish policy that has brought no gains to the country.
For science subjects we have the IITs which cater to two entirely different streams of students, the B.Tech and the M.Sc./Ph.D., and then the spin-offs from the IITs namely the IISERs that are still too new to pass a judgement on. CSIR is neither here nor there. It hands out PhD degrees too although it is not an educational institution.
In humanities and social sciences, the burden is placed on the poorly funded state universities. The course programs are also highly politicised, especially in the central government institutions, following from the cynical agreement between the government of Indira Gandhi and the leftist dispensation in the 1970s.
These socialistic economic models have lost currency everywhere in the world except in Indian academia where they thrive. Some of these social sciences departments just churn out aandolan jeevis, some of whom migrate abroad after a few years of professional agitations during their student days, and live respectable, law-abiding lives in far away foreign countries. Others think they will become successful politicians. Of course they don't and gradually they become troublesome bores who inflict their opinions on others in social media. What a waste of taxpayer money, educating these people!
After COVID we know that education cannot be treated independently from (1) the economy, (2) geopolitics, and (3) the constitution. I will take up these factors one by one.
Let us take the state of our economy.
There are huge money cuts now. The budget of the entire Education Ministry is just around Rs 100,000 crore. It should be six times this amount. Considering that the salary and pension budget is almost 55 per cent and upwards of the whole kitty in government educational institutions, this leaves very little to do any kind of research.
In this situation, the entry of the private sector into the educational system becomes a must. The private sector has already entered the field of higher education. How much control should the government exercise over private institutions? Some are little more than money spinning businesses. Of course, MCC is not in this group.
What about foreign universities?
Should they be allowed to open campuses in India?
Should our institutions hire foreign faculty?
How do you fit them into our scheme of reservations in employment?
Suppose a private university or a foreign university wants to have courses only in certain subjects?
Suppose they say we want to start a program in pharmaceutical sciences but not in African studies?
Do we allow them?
Suppose they say they do not want to follow reservation policies?
Suppose they say we want to admit foreign students in large numbers because they can be asked to pay higher fees?
Do we prohibit them from entering because they make this demand? By prohibiting them, we are effectively saying that foreign students cannot study in Indian colleges and universities. This may be bad for our international image.
If an Indian government institution runs a foreign campus, as is being talked about today, will it have reservations there?
If MCC wants to start a campus in Singapore, because it feels it will be economically profitable to do so, would it be willing to do so without reserving places for Christians?
What is the long term future of minority educational institutions in India? Will they be allowed to keep the many privileges they have in the name of secularism, an idea that nobody really understands anymore, assuming we understood it at all in the past 75 years.
Suppose the government runs out of money, which is already happening, and there is no alternative but to accept money from private and foreign institutions that lay down certain conditions? What will we do then? Taking to the streets, stone pelting and rioting as we are now doing for hijabs and namaz is not an option because for too long we have lived as if there was no tomorrow.
I realise that I am asking many uncomfortable questions. I am not ashamed of doing so. It's easy to talk about nice comfortable things. But comfortable things don't give you answers to uncomfortable problems like getting jobs after you graduate. That's the point.
Let us go to the second issue, namely geopolitics.
Geo-strategies are going to be very important because countries are now, post-COVID, going to become more isolationist, they are going to withdraw into themselves.
Ukraine is very much in the news and there is a Ukrainian proverb that says a thread from many looms makes a shirt for a naked man. The long and short of this is that we must solve our own problems ourselves. We cannot use borrowed models. Withdrawing into oneself is not so bad in times of crisis.
For geo-strategy, let us take an example from the pharmaceutical sector. Till 1990, we were doing quite well in making pharmaceutical compounds in India because of the liberal policies that the various governments adopted between 1970 and 1990 and we developed good expertise in making these compounds. We were doing our things by ourselves for ourselves. The shirt was being made from thread from a single loom.
By 1990, however, cheaper Chinese imports started flooding the market. The cost differential is roughly 10-30 per cent between these imports and local products. If the government had encouraged the pharma industry and made up that balance, we would not have been in a soup today.
This dependence on imports caused us to lose our scientific edge in making these drugs. We also lost the technical competence in synthesis we had. Industries took to formulations rather than synthesis.
Formulation means taking the pure drug and making it into tablets, capsules, syrups, injections and ointments. We are world leaders in formulation but it is dangerous to depend too much on formulations. Generally the share of formulations in a healthy pharma industry is 25 per cent. For us it is 75 per cent. Why is it dangerous? Formulation depends on getting the pure drug from somewhere, either domestic synthesis or Chinese imports. What happens if China denies us those imports? Our pharma industry which is over dependent on formulations will collapse.
Yes, it may hurt the Chinese temporarily to deny us their exports but tomorrow they may decide that they want to hurt India and cover that sum through subsidies to their industry to offset their loss. Then where do we go? We have 70 million type-2 diabetics and probably 150 million hypertensives in this country. Where will all these people go? Chinese drug exports to India are around 10 per cent of their total exports. Our Chinese imports account for 90 per cent of our total imports. In short, we need them. They do not need us. They are a powerful country. We are not.
COVID caused a sudden awareness of our dangerous over-dependence on China for drugs among the political and bureaucratic classes, an awareness that was widely prevalent in scientific circles for at least 15 years. Politicians and bureaucrats simply did not listen to these strategic concerns expressed by our scientists.
The government initiated a program in March 2020 to develop domestic production, but the amount earmarked was a measly Rs 10,000 crore in an industry which is worth Rs 4,00,000 crore annually today. This is where the strategic interest must come into our educational programs. Our students must understand that research today must be strategically oriented. It is areas like pharma where there will be jobs and where they should concentrate. It is no point reacting after the danger has come to your doorstep. Maybe pharmaceutical sciences gives you a job easier than African studies. Maybe it's not your right to pursue African studies in a cash starved Indian university. Where does the free lunch stop?
For the final matter linked to education policy changes, let us go to the constitutional aspects.
I will touch on three areas where constitutional intervention is becoming important. The first is whether education should belong to the central list, the state list, or to the concurrent list where it is today.
These are serious questions because there are plus points and minus points of having education in each of these three categories. Let us not forget, in 1975, at the controversial time of the Emergency, education was pushed into the concurrent list from the state list where it had been since 1950.
Should it go back to the state list? Should it go to the central list? Or should it remain where it is? These are questions I ask you to ponder over.
Concurrent list should not be an option simply because there is disagreement between centre and states. There must be a positive reason for a topic to be in the concurrent list.
Today, there is a lot of discussion on NEET in Tamil Nadu. This is connected with the concurrent list matter. Why are other states not agitating about NEET? Is the state government effectively admitting that its own colleges have not delivered the goods? How long will the state government maintain that social backwardness is the only reason Tamil Nadu students might not be doing well in NEET? Has social backwardness been removed in states that are following NEET? Is this an educational question, a social question or just rank political opportunism? Students must ask these questions to those in power. These are the things you should be questioning, not agitating about the right to practise your religion in the classroom.
When you have no money and minimal geopolitical influence, you cannot indulge yourself in fancies and fantasies. If you do not have money, you cannot indulge yourself, for example, in reservations.
The idea underlying reservations is undoubtedly noble, but how can we implement these things within an economically sound model?
And how long should reservations continue? Ambedkar himself said that a reservation is no longer a reservation if it applies to 70 per cent of the population. He said this during the constitutional assembly debates. Reservations cannot go on forever because this would mean that they were not successful. There must be a balance between equity and equality.
Basically, the quality of teaching and research must be such that the need for reservations becomes less and less as we go along. Throughout the country, however, reservations have become linked to political vote banks. Many political parties maintain their vote banks by keeping people uneducated.
In any case, no government can afford reservations in education and employment indefinitely because the government does not have the kind of money to deliver education to all the people it is giving seats to.
Another problem we have is that we are overproducing people with degrees in subjects that are not going to give them jobs. The situation in humanities and social sciences is very bad. In north India the percentage of unemployable graduates is extremely high. In the south, it is slightly better but still not any cause for satisfaction at least in my opinion.
Clearly, there is no money. I mean, the budget of Yale University last year was $3.4 billion. This is equal to Rs 28,000 crores, and even if you convert it into PPP dollars you get around Rs 8,000 crore rupees which is more than the budget of DST. So, one university in the USA has more than a whole science department in India.
Money cannot come from the government. Money must come from industry, from start-ups and the private sector must be encouraged to increase its involvement with education.
The private sector is not a bad word, as the Prime Minister has emphasized last year on the floor of the parliament. But the private sector is not going to support science and start-ups unconditionally if it is linked with reservations, caste and religion.
What is the solution? Some state governments are saying let us introduce reservations in the private sector. Now we have come to the stage where the medicine is worse than the disease, and this can lead to the most frightening scenario, namely balkanisation of India, which quite a few powerful foreign countries may welcome, and dare I say vested interests within this country too?
The Prime Minister has mentioned the tukde tukde gang in his recent speech in the Lok Sabha. Please understand the seriousness of a Prime Minister saying something in parliament. It is recorded and remains official forever. It is part of the record. He went further. He said the Congress party is the leader of this gang. This was not something said in the heat of an electoral rally. This was in parliament in the motion of thanks to the President's address. It cannot get more formal. Merely saying you hate the Prime Minister is not the response of an educated person. No Prime Minister says something like this in parliament without a serious reason.
In the name of democracy, free speech and human rights, we cannot move towards anarchy.
To summarise, we need a complete restructuring of the education system. For a start, we must begin a discussion on reservations. We cannot avoid it. One of the things the government can seriously think about is to have equitable reservations at the primary level because this is where a child's attitudes are shaped and to phase them out as you climb the educational ladder. In the end, reservations are meant to help the people who are socially disadvantaged, not to create vote banks for politicians.
The issue of medium of instruction in primary and higher education continues to seize the imagination of students, teachers, parents and educationists. It is a matter fraught with political connotations. The National Educational Policy (NEP) 2020 identifies issues and analyzes various schemes that have been operating so far. Rather vaguely it says that "the three-language formula will continue to be implemented while keeping in mind the constitutional provisions, aspirations of the people, regions, and the Union, and the need to promote multilingualism as well as promote national unity." What does this mean? To me, it sounds like nonsense. Is it some kind of backdoor imposition of Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states?
India does not have a national language and rightly so. A polyglot country like ours does not need one. Our Constitution recognises 22 official languages and some combination of these is used by the Union and state governments in their work.
As India strives to ascend in the comity of nations, it is clear that our huge numbers of children and young adults of school- and college-going age should be optimally advantaged in order that they are able to cope and compete within their state, country and internationally. This leveraging is most effectively done linguistically: a child should be taught basic concepts in the language in which he or she can best emote and can give free rein to imagination.
English is our pathway to the world. It is also a sort of link language within the country although Hindi is fast replacing it in this regard.
The need for a link language is, however, not as acute as it was in say 1950 when linguistic groups were sharply demarcated. TV, movies and social media, and also the migration of people across the country have ensured that many residents in urban and semi-urban areas have some sort of working knowledge of English and Hindi. People from outside a state also seem to be readily picking up the local language even when it is quite distinct from their mother tongue.
One hears a lot more Hindi in Chennai today than one did ten years ago. At the same time, I hear north Indians in Chennai speaking Tamil in say, shops and restaurants. Languages are no longer impenetrable silos that divide people. Languages unite. Languages do not divide.
There is little doubt that the imaginative skill of an individual is enhanced if basic education is imparted in the mother tongue.
The NEP discreetly speaks of "home language/mother tongue/local language/regional language". Let us not forget that for the vast majority, all these languages are one and the same. It is important that our young people are equipped to excel in imaginative skills because it is such skills that are sorely lacking in our outmoded rote learning method of education today.
Accordingly, there can be no doubt that education in the foundational stage, as defined in NEP, namely ages 3 to 8, must be in the local language with no exception. By no exception I mean no exception. Don't speak about children of transferable central government employees. They are a miniscule minority for which a special solution can be worked out. The minority should not dictate to the majority who belong to the state, were born in the state and will live in their state for most of their lives.
Ideally, education in the local language should also continue into the preparatory (8-11), middle (11-14) and secondary (14-18) stages. Even more ideally, higher education should also be conducted in the local language as an alternative to English. Both choices should be allowed.
English is still essential, however, and increased felicity in this wonderful international language needs to be developed in order that we can compete aggressively in the metropolitan and international arenas. It can and should come in as the second language everywhere at the preparatory stage (age 8) while a third language, say Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu could enter at the middle stage (age 11) without the need for passing an examination.
The entire issue of language should be moved from the emotional to the pragmatic. There is no need to invoke either patriotism or regional pride in this regard. Language is a matter of utility, communicability and practicality. Our educational policies should be framed accordingly. In short, our so-called three-language formula, two-language formula and other formulae may be gently allowed to lapse. They were useful in the interim but will hardly be so in the long run.
A few words about science and technology are in order before I conclude. Science is strategic. The Western countries have shown us that good science leads to more money which in turn leads to better science. It is only because of S&T that the West has dominated the rest of the world for so long and the only way to facilitate S&T is to improve the education system. Education is all important but remember, it is a slow investment. It is not like building roads and bridges. What you sow, you only reap after 50 years.
Education has been neglected or distorted in a profound way in our country. The present time is, I believe, where we, as a people, must work together to put it in a proper and higher setting so that India may find its true place in a changing world. The future belongs to you youngsters. Our generation has been unable to provide answers. It is up to you to pose the right questions.
Jai Hind!

The use of the new procedures for Oceanic Contingencies and Weather deviation Procedures is coincident with the start of the Advanced Surveillance-Enhanced Procedural Separation, known as (ASEPS) trials which takes advantage of Spaced Based (SB ADS-B ). The SAT ADS-B trials will in effect reduce our separation requirements and allow ATC to apply these reductions if the aircraft is equipped with FANS 1/A+ CPDLC, ADS-C, RNP4, RCP240, and RSP180 capable and equipped with ADS-B. The new procedures go into effect 28 March 2019. Your ScottIPC App containing these procedures will be updated to reflect the new procedures on the 28th as well.
The North Atlantic will begin a trial program utilizing sat based ADS-B called Advanced Surveillance-Enhanced Procedural Separation (ASEPS). This trial will commence in the Shanwick, Gander and Santa Maria Oceanic Control Areas which will commence on or soon after 28th of March 2019. Aircraft need not apply to participate in the trials as long as they are capable of RNP 4 and RCP 240 where ADS-B service is provided and Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) is available. The use of Sat based ADS-B will enable ATC to provide reduced Longitudinal separations to appropriately equipped aircraft.

Guys, do you remember what you were doing at 15…? I'll tell ya, I certainly wasn't running my own makeup line, LOL! Say hi to Raazika Cosmetics, a new cruelty-free indie line founded by high school student Khadija Ikram, who started the brand fueled by her passion for makeup and her desire to help her community. The brand donates a portion of all proceeds to anti-bullying campaigns.
Yeah, at 15 years old, I was marching around a football field with a flute in a band uniform while simultaneously plotting ways to up my GPA… I wasn't starting my own business (although I wish I had!).
In Arabic, Raazika means "one who provides for others," and the line is cruelty-free, fragrance-free and Halal-certified, meaning that the ingredients are permitted within Islamic or sharia law (you can read more about it here if you're curious), and they're available now online. The brand is still quite small and very new.
Within the line, there are full-coverage foundations ($36 each), a couple of contour kits ($49 each), vegan brushes ($16-$30 each), a sprinkling of eye makeup (there's a mascara and a liner), liquid lipsticks ($27 each) and lip pencils ($17 each), so it's not Fenty big, but it's not a teeny, tiny product range either.

The entire move was perfect. From dealing with you on the estimate and moving information to packing and loading, to communicating with the driver, to the unloading - all of it was wonderful. Having never moved interstate before, I was very apprehensive about the process but your professionalism and careful actions made the move easy.


Christian Romance Books – Free & Bargain Priced!
With more romance fiction being sold, and read, than any other category of fiction, the need for great stories increases all the time, opening the doors for both writers and readers to explore their worlds. But when it comes to Christian romance books, earning money and getting more sales aren't the only factors that motivate them — many Christian authors express a motivation that goes beyond concepts of fame and fortune.
What will I find in a 'Christian Romance' Book?
A Christian Romance is basically a classic love story infused with Christian values and beliefs. It will usually follow an 'innocent' or 'sweet romance' form of story line, but as the relationship progresses, the characters also grow spiritually. Their understanding of their feelings for each other will often develop in tandem with their coming to grips with some aspect of their faith. Usually, they resolve things with God before their love relationship can work out. This combination of romantic and spiritual growth is the distinguishing characteristic of the Christian Romance novel.
Many Christian Romance authors write for the opportunity to promote their Christian values and share their belief. Their decision to write Christian romance is considered an opportunity to spread God's Word and touch lives through stories that inspire and offer hope. They don't see their work as simple entertainment or escapism, or an exercise in literary skill, they see them as a chance to 'Minister' to readers through a story of love, offering the chance to enter into a literary world where the characters are, like them, trying to deal with with life's issues whilst honoring their faith.
Whilst romantic fiction has always retained a steady popularity, the public's taste for Christian romance stories has waxed and waned over the decades. But the current trend has been going since the 1990's and is getting stronger, and more popular, all the time.

MANILA, Philippines - Mitoy Yonting was hailed the winner of ABS-CBN's "The Voice of the Philippines" during the reality talent show's finale at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila on Sunday, Sept. 29.
The 44-year-old singer, a member of Lea Salonga's team, beat out three other contestants for the title.
Klarisse de Guzman from Sarah Geromino's team was named runner-up.
Janice Javier from apl.de.ap's team is in third place while Don Michael Perez from Bamboo Manalac's team placed fourth.
"Salamat po sa inyong lahat. Para sa inyo ito," Yonting said, who won a prize package that includes P2 million, a new car, an Asian tour package for two and a four-year recording contract with MCA Universal.
The winner was decided via text and online votes. The final two finalists were declared based on the votes during the Saturday and Sunday live shows, while the winner was decided based solely on votes polled during De Guzman and Yonting's final performance.
A band singer prior to joining "The Voice of the Philippines," he shared the stage with his coach Lea and Vice Ganda as they sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart." He also performed with former Westlife member Shane Fillan on Sunday.
A member of "The Draybers" — a band that has regular gigs in Resorts World Manila (they performed in their months-long free concert series) and is a nominee at this year's Aliw Awards — Yonting was a among the favorite early in the competition.
He sang "Bakit Ako Mahihiya?" during his blind audition, Lea used an expletive to describe Yonting's performance.
"Bihira lang lumalabas sa bibig ko ang ganyan. Ang galing mo, ang galing mo, naku! Kung hindi mo ako piliin, iiyak ako," said Lea, who had to compete with Bamboo and apl to get Yonting into her team.
During the show's battle rounds and live shows, Yonting bested other favorites to reach the finals — including Radha of the band Kulay and Daryyl Shy.


More environmentally friendly travel habits can be achieved without making massive changes to the way we go about our holidays. Even just the smallest adjustment that we make to the way that we travel can make a big difference. The benefits to you on "traveling green" apart from just preserving our environment, more often than not you'll find yourself saving money along the way!
Why buy novels and guidebooks by the dozen in hardcopy, only to chew through them on your trip and banish them to your bookshelf on your return? You'll save tons of money by downloading the latest books on your Kindle or iPad and lighten your luggage load considerably!
Seriously, a lighter suitcase lessens the load on the aircraft, allowing it to burn less fuel and release lower amounts of toxic fumes into the environment. You'll also save on all those excess baggage charges. And, let's be honest – how many times do you never even wear many items you have packed and lugged around with you on trips?
When traveling, stock up on mineral or filtered water in the bulk sized containers from supermarkets and top up your refillable drink bottle as needed. This will save you from resorting to the mini bar in your hotel room, where all the drinks and snacks are double the price.
Air conditioning, heating and lighting use more energy than washing towels, so turn off the lights and air conditioning when it isn't needed, or when you're stepping out of your room. Don't leave the TV on if you're not watching it. Also, take up the hotels offer of re-using your towells rather than asking for clean ones every day – this saves on the washing and drying machines electricity usage required to replenish your supplies.
Avoid wasting water by taking shorter showers and turn the water tap off while you are brushing your teeth. Let housekeeping know that you'd like to reuse your sheets and towels.
Use public transport on your travels when you can, and choose smaller, more fuel efficient cars from the car rental companies. You'll be saving yourself some money as well as lowering your carbon footprint.
Promote the local economy by staying in smaller, local run accommodation options, by eating locally produced foods and hiring local guides. Find out where the local artisans sell their goods direct rather than buying souvenirs that have been mass produced (and probably imported). You may pay a little more for it but at least you know your money is going direct to the local artisans and their families.
There is a huge amount of work happening in the area of "Eco Holidays" and many companies are changing the way they operate to lessen their impact on the environment whilst still offering services that tourists require. Eco-friendly hotels, guest houses and B&B's have made a long-term commitment to minimizing the impact that its operations have on the environment. Take the time to find out where they are and use them when you can.
Remember, the small changes we make to our travel habits will have a larger than imagined impact on helping to preserve this planet of ours whilst sustaining it so we can keep exploring!


Now the proud mother of a successful son with an equally successful lawyer daughter-in-law, she recalled how she started doing household chores and looking after her younger siblings at the tender age of 7 under the watchful eye of her step-mother. After turning 16, she decided to leave for Singapore from Malaysia and found work first at YY before being recommended to work as an assistant at Kay Lee where she earned the name "Mei Mei" (younger sister). She continued clocking 12-hour shifts at Kay Lee, roasting meats even after marriage.

Q: Javafx Text and Label fonts are look different I'm trying to make my Text object look like other blocks which are using Label to display some text. I cannot use Label because I need the feature of Text to setup wrap width. But I see the straight difference between final displayed text. As you can see from screenshot Text's font is looking little bolder than Label's. How can I style my Text to look just like the Label?
I thought that it is only my stylesheet problem, but I can see the same difference within SceneBuilder.
Preview inside scenebuilder

A: In the default style sheet, the text color in a label is set to a looked-up color called -fx-text-background-color (this is the foreground color of the text, despite the name), which in turn depends on the looked-up color -fx-background (hence the name...). The value of -fx-background is typically inherited from the parent; the idea here is that it uses a color that contrasts with the background. The value is defined as
-fx-text-background-color: ladder(
    -fx-background,
    -fx-light-text-color 45%,
    -fx-dark-text-color  46%,
    -fx-dark-text-color  59%,
    -fx-mid-text-color   60%
);

So you can make the text look like a label by using the same CSS looked-up color for the text's -fx-fill property. Here is a very quick and dirty demo:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class TextColor extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Label plainLabel = new Label("A plain label");
        Text styledText = new Text("Styled text");
        styledText.setStyle("-fx-fill: -fx-text-background-color;");
        Text plainText = new Text("A plain text");

        VBox root = new VBox(10, plainLabel, styledText, plainText);
        root.setPadding(new Insets(10));
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

which gives

This also makes the Text react appropriately to changes in the background. If you add
root.setStyle("-fx-background: black;");

then the styled text (and the label, by default) responds:

Note also that for your use case for Text, a combination of
label.setPrefWidth(...);
label.setWrapText(true);

will enable you to control the wrapping width of a label, and may be a more natural solution to what you are trying to do than the approach you are suggesting here.

Cyber Criminals hack Twitter account of school, turn the head teacher into adult film star
Hijacked school Twitter account turns head teacher into a porn star
Hackers do some really crappy things to the hijacked accounts but this one takes the cake. Cyber criminals hijacked the Twitter account of a head teacher of Oriel High School and turned him into a adult film star and complete with all the makeup and stuff.
Philip Stack, who is head teacher of Oriel High School in United Kingdom faced one of those days when everything you do goes wrong. First his Twitter account was hijacked and later the hackers turned him into a adult film star with a liberal dose of photoshopping. The final nail in Stack's day was that hackers used his Twitter account to make inappropriate and unceremonious tweets about his girl students.
Some of the tweets are as follows :
The year 9 girls are getting a bit fat.
We need to work on them in the gym.
The Mirror reported on Wednesday, the image of Oriel High School head teacher Philip Stack's smiling face was pasted onto the body of a muscular, tattooed male model who would have been naked but for a jock strap.
The school immediately deactivated the account and informed the police who are investigating the hack attack.
Prima facie it seems that the Twitter was hacked by students themselves and that is what some Twitter users suggested. One users sarcastically added that Oriels's IT teachers should be proud of students' "accomplished computer skills."


Below, a very basic (I do mean VERY basic) list of resources in case you're interested in exploring the real stories behind the film. This has already been published on the Dark Discussions website here (and in fact I still owe them a couple of resource lists for other films), but I figured I'd put it here too.
It's always fun to explore beyond any film! Here are some of my favorite resources—books, documentaries, and websites—for more information about subjects covered in The Conjuring 2. There's so much more out there, but this will get you off to a good start.

Afghanistan became a participant in the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2003. Based in The Hague, Netherlands, the ICC can investigate and prosecute human rights violations without regard to the rank or office of the perpetrators. The ICC is essential for the protection of human rights in Afghanistan because there is still no domestic Afghan judicial process to investigate and prosecute human rights abuses.
This article will primarily focus on alleged human rights violations prior to 2003, but it should be noted that civilians continue to be at risk as a consequence of war between Taliban and Coalition forces. By way of example, more than 1000 civilians have been killed between 2003 and 2007 in Kandahar, Uruzgaan and Helmand Provinces. In addition, Mullah Omar allegedly decreed in 2006 that Kochis (nomads) should forcibly occupy Hazarajat and expel the local Hazaras population. (Kabul Press Website, January 21, 2006). Additional research and investigation is necessary to determine the circumstances of civilian casualties and potential human rights violations.
However, the ICC can only prosecute cases that occurred after May 1, 2003. Thus, the many alleged human rights violations prior to 2003 will only be prosecuted if and when a judicial authority with human rights jurisdiction is established by the Afghan government. The following brief list contains a substantial record of pre-ICC authority, alleged human rights abuses in need of investigation.
• November/December 2002 — Hundreds of civilian men and women allegedly killed in the Afshar district of Kabul. Some survivors shared their experiences with journalists, and the international media has reported on discrimination and violence against women in all aspects of society.
• 2001 — 1,500 people allegedly killed and 2000 families allegedly displaced in Bamyan in February, the area containing the massive ancient Buddha statues destroyed by Taliban in 2001. The same year it was reported that between 34 and 50 people were allegedly killed in Khaja Ghar district, Takhar province in January. (Roy Gutman. Human Rights during Masoud and Taliban, Chapter 6, 2006).
• January 2000 — Report of 50 people allegedly killed in a mosque in Gosfandi and allegedly 176 killed and 30,000 displaced from homes in Yakawland. 31 were allegedly executed in May, and 300 were allegedly displaced from homes in Taliqan in September. (Gutman, Chapter 6).
• May 1999 – In Bamyan, 120 were allegedly killed and 20,000 allegedly displaced and in Shamaali 140,000 were allegedly displaced in August. (Gutman, Chapter 6).
• September 1998 — 70 people were allegedly killed and 23,000 houses were allegedly destroyed in Khaja Ghar. (Gutman, Chapter 6).
• August 1998 — Bloodshed in Mazar e Sharif allegedly including the killing of 2000 and displacement of 40,000 in Daraye Kayan. (Gutman, Chapter 6).
• May 1997 — An estimated 2000 Talibs were allegedly killed in Mazar e Sharif and Dasht e Laili. In September of that year it was reported that 53 Hazaras were allegedly killed at Mazar e Sharif Airport. In December it was reported that 600 civilians were allegedly killed in Qaisar. (Gutman, Chapter 6).
• 1978 — Reported that 12,000 people were allegedly killed by the ministries of the interior during the governments of Hafizullah Amin and Noor Mohammad Taraki.
• 1978-1992 — Purge of writers and intellectuals in Afghan society allegedly led to imprisonment of many. During the presidencies of Taraki, Amin, Karmal and Najeebulla, UNHCR has estimated that 5,000,000 left Afghanistan. (Meer Ghulam Mohammad Ghobar. Afghanistan in the Course of History, v. 2, page 235).
• In 1961 discrimination against ethnic minorities continued in the form of prohibitions in higher education, military and government security sector employment.
• 1950 to 1960 – Alleged continuation of forced relocation of Afghans and placement of Kochis (nomads) on Hazars' land in Hazarajaat. (Ghobar, 235).
• 1948-1949 — Hundreds of people were allegedly killed in an attack on a Jirga in Paktia. (Ghobar, 235).
• 1933 and 1934 — The inhabitants of Nangarhar, Uruzgaan and Midan provinces were allegedly forced to relocate. Two hundred eighty families forced to leave Uruzgaan province and 400-500 individuals reportedly emigrated to Pakistan and Iran. On September 16, 1933, a critic of the government was allegedly executed without a fair trial. (Ghobar, 61). Also in 1933 the alleged killing of 500 prisoners was reported. (Ghobar, 137-8). On December 18, 1933, an alleged massacre of sixteen men was reported to have taken place in the Dehmazang Maslakh (slaughterhouse) of Kabul. Family members were also allegedly punished. (Ghobar, 171).
• 1930-1931 — Ten people from Shamaail were allegedly killed during July/August of 1930 (Ghobar, pp. 77, 78, citing "Eslah" July 25, 1930). Alleged use of artillery on civilians was reported. (Ghobar, p. 40). Between December 1930 and July 1931 hundreds of men from Jaji wa Mangal and Paktia ethnic groups were allegedly killed over land ownership. (Ghobar 77, 79).
• The January/February 1930 publication "Eslah" reported that Governor Mohammad Gul Khan allegedly ordered the execution of fifteen persons, punishment in chains of 617, and sentencing of 3,600 to hard labor. (Governmental Gazzette "Eslah," v. 57, January-February, 1930). Reports also cite thorough and systematic violence against women and prohibition against the education under Khan's rule including the recall and arrest of girls attending university abroad, prohibition of more than 78,000 boys and girls from attending school (only 4,591 remaining enrolled) ("Eslah," v. 57, February/March 1930), and theft of property (gold and silver coins and weapons) from people of the Parwan and Kapisa areas was also reportedly significant at the hands of the soldiers under command of Governor Mohammad Gul Khan. (Governmental Gazzette "Eslah," v. 57, January-February, 1930).
• 1929 — Execution of 51 people from Shamaali (Northern districts of Kabul and parts of Parwan) in Kabul. February March. (Ghobar, Afghanistan in the Course of History, pp. 77-8, citing "Eslah" February/March 1929). Twelve people allegedly executed without trial. Autumn. (Ghobar, p. 61).
Victims, or those with complaints or evidence regarding human rights violations in Afghanistan, are encouraged to provide materials to Kabul Press, which will maintain confidentiality in accordance with current law. Evidence can also be sent to the ICC.
