Attorney General Kamala Harris has laughed her way out of the good graces of California's marijuana industry. In turn, some of the state's weed players are now backing the AG's Republican challenger.
This is a sea change from four years ago. When Harris was still San Francisco's district attorney, the city's cannabis establishment threw her a fundraiser in a posh SoMa apartment. Then, attendees say, she was approachable and sympathetic.
But since ascending to Sacramento, Harris has been bad on drug reform, weed advocates say, and has shut herself off from her old city's legal marijuana industry. The last straw was this summer, when the attorney general laughed off questions about her support for marijuana legalization.
[jump] Sick of being the butt of mainstream Democrats' jokes, legalization backers are now backing Republican Ron Gold, Harris's long-shot challenger who paid a visit to several San Francisco marijuana dispensaries and spoke at cannabis trade school Oaksterdam University on Monday (and was on KQED this morning).
But will that endorsement really matter?
Gold's quest to unseat Harris has been at times deemed quixotic, a long-shot, and symbolic. And indeed, Harris seems like a surefire shoo-in to be re-elected. She is a big-name Democrat in deep-blue California, admired even by President Barack Obama (which means she also has access to an enormous amount of campaign cash).
And Ron Gold? Seemingly nobody knows who he is (btw: he's a Southern California attorney who worked in the Attorney General's Office in the 1970s, in case you are curious).
However, a September Field Poll revealed that Harris was only 12 points ahead of Gold among likely voters. And her victory in 2010 over Republican Steve Cooley — back in another era when it seemed possible Gov. Jerry Brown might lose to his Republican opponent Meg Whitman — was by only 75,000 votes.
So Gold thinks he has a decent chance to unseat Harris, and where he can hit her the hardest is on drug policy, he told SF Weekly this week.
Harris is using her record on fighting mortgage fraud and transnational criminal gangs, as well as upholding Obama programs like the Affordable Care Act. As for Gold … well, there's a good reason why he's called Ron “Acapulco” Gold.
“Marijuana is the key singular issue in this campaign… and she hasn't done anything” for the state's marijuana industry, he said.
Worse, she has done cannabis an ill turn, he said. Gold rattled off a list of her misdeeds, including declining to join in other states' efforts to remove marijuana from the DEA's list of most-dangerous substances while failing to help the state's cannabis industry during the 2011 federal Justice Department crackdown.
“She can call Obama. She can use her clout. She hasn't,” he said.
If elected, Gold says one of the first orders of business would be to craft regulations for a statewide weed industry, something that the Legislature has failed to do for some time now. He'd also push to allow California medical marijuana sellers to be able to turn a profit, something they can't accomplish under current state law.
This is not the first time a Republican has won unlikely friends among the mostly liberal marijuana industry. Retired U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, for example, was exhorted as a saint for his constant support for marijuana legalization by the very people who were horrified to learn that Paul wanted to dismantle the EPA.
And liberals will find plenty reasons to butt heads with Gold. Take Palestinian sympathizers, for instance. Gold left the Democratic Party in the '60s over the party's near-declaration of deeming Zionism a racist policy, he said.
Still, “I can't in good conscience vote against my own self-interest,” said David Goldman, a Castro District resident and retired high school mathematics teacher who has devoted his retirement to marijuana activism. This will be the first time Goldman has cast a vote for a Republican in his life, he told SF Weekly.
Many others in the weed game are simply fed up and pissed-off. “I'm sick of being laughed at,” said Jeff Jones, who has plenty to be mad about. The feds nabbed Jones, who ran a dispensary in Oakland, after the state handed him over to the feds (the case eventually made it to the Supreme Court, but Jones is now out of the weed-selling business by court order).
“I can't be led by someone more immature than I am on this issue.”
Will others follow? Even a strong showing from Gold would send the message that marijuana is a legitimate issue with money and votes behind it.

- What is the Gucci Marmont?
Before we determine its timelessness, let’s get to know the Gucci Marmont a bit better.
The Gucci Marmont is a stylish handbag from the renowned Italian fashion house, Gucci. It’s known for its iconic double-G logo and a quilted pattern that exudes luxury. This bag has graced the arms of fashionistas and celebrities alike, creating quite a buzz in the fashion world.
- Timeless aspects of the Gucci Marmont:

I recently started using Pinterest and came across a link there to some banana cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting that looked good. So, I decided to make the recipe into a layer cake as our dessert for yesterday’s Easter Dinner. Several of the comments at the Dash of Sass website thought that the original recipe made too much frosting, so I took their suggestion and halved the frosting. It still made more than enough to frost the cake.
I used organic unbleached white flour, but I might try whole wheat pastry flour the next time I make this. I also did not have any buttermilk as the original recipe specified on hand, so used my regular substitute of mixing plain yogurt with whole milk, and that turned out fine. I may add another egg next time I make this to get some more lift. The cake is similar in texture to banana bread or carrot cake.
For the cream cheese, I was looking for one that did not have a lot of thickeners and preservatives, so I used Nancy’s Organic Cultured Cream Cheese. Unlike most cream cheese that is thickened by using guar gum and carob bean gum, this one uses probiotic cultures to thicken it and so is more natural and you get a bonus dose of probiotics. 🙂 It’s ingredients are: Organic cream, nonfat dry milk, L. acidophilus, B. bifidum and 4 strains of Lactic cultures, salt.
Mike and the girls all loved this recipe. While it is definitely a rare treat with all that butter and sugar, I will make it again. I tried “decorating” it with a star shape made out of cinnamon, but it didn’t come out that well. 🙂 On a positive note, if you are not that great at frosting cakes and occassionally get a bit of crumb in your frosting, the cinnamon flecks in the frosting will help hide that.
Banana Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 1/4 cups white flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder (such as Rumford)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cup mashed bananas (about 3-4 bananas, very ripe)
- 1/8 cup plain yogurt
- 1/8 cup milk
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- 1 -2 Tbsp rum (spiced rum is even better), optional (if you leave out, add a bit more milk instead)
- 2 sticks (1 cup) real butter
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 8-oz. package of cream cheese
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) real butter
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9″ cake pans. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon from the cake recipe. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, yogurt, milk, vanilla and rum. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl (the big one that fits on your mixer), beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, blending entirely before adding the next egg.
- Once the eggs are combined, add the dry and wet ingredients in alternating order. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients, beat on slow to combine. Add 1/3 of the wet ingredients, beat on slow to combine. Repeat until all of the wet and dry ingredients have been combined.
- Scoop batter into prepared cake pans. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from cake pans. Let cakes cool completely on wire racks before applying frosting.
- While cakes are baking, prepare the frosting. Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add confectioners sugar in 1 cup increments. After 2 cups, check for desired sweetness. Continue adding confectioner’s sugar until you have achieved desired level of sweetness. Blend in salt, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost with cinnamon cream cheese frosting.

The Deaton Scholars Program is the student arm of the Deaton Institute. DSP engages undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from every college and discipline in the fight against global poverty and hunger.
The mission of the Deaton Scholars Program is to provide a platform for students to:
- Explore the value of interdisciplinary teamwork,
- Understand their individual role in collaborative problem solving, and
- Empower local action to address global poverty.
We believe every student has the ability to contribute to creative solutions for the world’s most urgent and pressing issues. DSP offers students a chance to learn about and engage with local and global issues stemming from poverty and hunger. As DSP participants, students join diverse teams and delve head-first into creative problem solving. With the help of program leaders, students gain hands-on experience proposing, funding, and implementing their own solutions.
We welcome a new cohort of students at the start of every spring and fall semester, with applications due toward the end of the previous semester. Once admitted to the program, students are expected to commit to regular group meetings and five cohort events during the first semester. Participants are placed into groups based on the interests outlined in their application, and groups will meet one another at the first cohort event.
Throughout the first semester, students work with their group to develop a project proposal through a process called collective peer mentorship, in which a group of people mentor each other to foster personal and professional growth. Participants benefit from the richness and diversity of their disciplinary and cultural backgrounds to build synergies through working on a common project. Collective peer mentorship is process-based and committed to continuous improvements.
Students leave the first semester with a concrete project proposal, a clear understanding of how each group member contributes to the success of the project, knowledge of the need their project addresses, a connection with a community partner(s), and a timeline for project implementation during the second semester. At this point in the program, students have already garnered extensive experience in collaborating with diverse partners and group members to achieve a common goal. However, participants may want to continue into a second semester with the program, during which they begin and often complete their project implementation.
Second semester Deaton Scholars work on implementing their project proposal. The second half of the program is independent, but students are expected to meet regularly with their groups and work closely with program leaders during this phase. Depending on the scope of their project, personal and professional interests, and project feasibility, students may begin or complete project implementation during the second semester. Some projects may require little more than the group reconvening before implementation can begin, while others might need external funding. Second semester students work directly with program leaders and advisory board members to make progress toward their project goals.
All Deaton Scholars are invited to attend additional events organized or promoted by the program leadership. These might include coffee with a change-maker sessions, community volunteer opportunities, group meetings with Drs. Brady and Anne Deaton, university events that fit within the scope of the Deaton Institute’s work, or book clubs. Program leadership collates and promotes these activities through a biweekly newsletter sent to Deaton Scholars Program participants. Newsletters will also be made available at the News section of our website.
Please reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.org if you have more questions.

Societal Usage Of Antibiotics In The Syrian Coastal Region During 2021
- تاريخ النشر: 2021-08-04
This study is based on an electronic questionnaire about the use of antibiotics. It investigates the knowledge about antibiotics and their resistance among the Syrian coastal people. 639 individuals responded to the questionnaire. The results show that there is fairly good information about those drugs. Yet, there is much to be done to spread the awareness in the whole community, especially with regards to enact laws that prohibit antibiotics purchase without a prescription. Doctors on the other hand, should give antibiotics only on necessity. People also have to be well educated about antibiotics resistance, which is an inevitable consequence to the misuse of those drugs.


Analog Devices recently Introduced First Wireless Battery Management System for EVs which enables automotive manufacturers increased flexibility to scale their electric vehicle fleets into volume production across a wide range of vehicle classes. The implementation of ADI’s wBMS eliminates the traditional wired harness, saving up to 90% of the wiring and up to 15% of the volume in the battery pack, as well as improving design flexibility and manufacturability, without compromising range and accuracy over the life of the battery. In his context, Mr. Srinivas Kantheti, Product Line Director – Automotive BU, Analog Devices spoke to Vaishali Umredkar of Electronics Maker about this product launch, its features and importance in Automotive.
Please tell us about electrification trends and the rise of the EV market.
The Automotive Industry globally is on the verge of another revolution and this is EV revolution. The urge to go green, urge to use renewable energy resources, the urge to reduce the running costs and the urge to innovate new technologies and grow is driving developed countries to look towards Electric Vehicles.
India is no exception but the electrification leaders are a category of OEMs namely the 2W and 3W as they are the primary market drivers in the country. Given the cost of Li Ion batteries and the monopoly and the global volumes, the adoption has been slow although the trend is changing. There were no major Li Ion battery manufacturers in India but now with the arrival of Nexcharge (Exide – Leclanche) and the interest from many other battery manufacturers, the scenario is changing.
On the other hand, there is quite a bit of technology development around the BMS (Battery Management Systems) and other allied technologies that support the EV development and the development of EV market in India. We have domestic leaders like Mahindra and Tata who have taken leadership in the development of core technologies and launch products in India.
There are some others who came up with revolutionary concepts like swappable batteries. This is particularly suitable for 2W applications as the weight of the battery is less, easy to charge at home and reduces the burden of cost for the customers as they buy energy as a service as against the purchase of a complete battery upfront.
All these developments and trends place India at the very centre of revolution in the transport industry. On its part, Government is promoting EVs with incentives, encouraging setting up charging infrastructure etc.
Please discuss the battery management system trends and its industry momentum.
Battery Management System is the heart of any Electric Vehicle. It monitors the battery, ensures its safety, provides the users with the energy it contains dynamically so the user as an opportunity to recharge. An efficient BMS ensures the users get the best performance out of the battery. Batteries are expensive and has precious metals that are difficult to mine and manufacture. Making the most effective use of the battery energy is a key imperative for any EV OEM and BMS plays a key role here.
At Analog Devices, we pride in delivering the BMS technologies that give the highest level of performance in monitoring the voltage, current and temperature apart from safety which is fast becoming a key factor as the market is expanding. Innovative technologies from Analog Devices also ensure scalability of BMS to support batteries that can power 48V to 800V and more and build very complex battery architectures.
Very recently Analog Devices also announced the Wireless BMS technology that can enable a number of BMS systems to communicate wirelessly. This unique technology enables OEMs to develop complex battery packs but yet be efficient meeting all the performance requirements.
What is special about wireless BMS, and how is it gaining importance?
Wireless Battery Management System is the new disruptive technology. Built upon existing components of the wired BMS, the wireless BMS solution reduces the weight of the batteries by reducing multiple wires and connectors. The weight of the car has a direct impact on the range and hence it translates into cost and alsouser experience. In addition, battery packs are often very difficult to assembly and maintain. Wireless BMS solves the problem by eliminating the wires. It is also cost-effective as it removes the inter-module isolation components. One more functionality of the WBMS is to make the design highly modular and scalable so that it can be reused across multiple car designs.
However wireless technologies do bring their own challenges, especially around critical systems like BMS. ADI has developed technologies that enable the communication to be fast, responsive, safe thus eliminating the concerns of the engineers designing the cars.
Please highlight your wireless battery management solution and its technical features like performance, lifetime, and others?
Wireless BMS uses a 2.4GHz radio technology for communication. Every (or some times a few) BMS ICs are paired with a Wireless transceiver (node) that communicates with a Master Wireless transceiver located at a distance in the pack. They constantly share the data about the cell voltages, cell temperatures and monitor the diagnostics of the BMS to ensure the safety of the battery. The Master in conjunction with a BMS Controller computes the State of the Charge and State of Health parameters for the vehicle at a battery level and provides confidence to the driver that the battery is good, safe and holding enough energy to drive.
In Summary Wireless BMS is a complex system to develop but reduces the complexity for the OEMs.
What are your expectations about the growth of this product?
The EV market is growing fast and is growing big. The future of mobility is all about Electrification. In a market with high growth potential, there will always be opportunity for wired BMS and wireless BMS based on the target application be it 2W, 4W cars, multi wheel trucks etc.
We believe that Wireless BMS will be growing in segments like 4W and trucks where the need for many batteries is high. Hence the initial growth will come from these segments as engineers developing 2W start to figure out how to use this innovative technology in their systems.
Do you find any challenges from an industry point of view?
Indian Automobile industry has gone through a very difficult market scenario between the transition to BSVI, slack in demand to COVID and is now showing signs of recovery. The transition to EV has long term benefits but need short term support through government policies, user adoption etc. As big OEMs work to refine their production lines and improve adoption of EVs, a number of small players need to develop the technologies to be deployed into the future vehicles.

New Smash Bros. overhauls edge-grabbing--how will it affect gameplay?
Director Masahiro Sakurai confirms there are "many changes" being made to attack and defense options for edge-grabbing technique.
The "edge-grabbing" or "edge-hogging" technique from past Super Smash Bros. titles has been overhauled for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS, director Masahiro Sakurai announced today on Miiverse.
This more advanced technique, featured in games like Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, allows players to hold onto a ledge in an effort to thwart the return move of another player. But this is changing for the upcoming game, Sakurai said.
"There are many changes being made to attack and defense options for grabbing edges. In this picture (at left), Link is actually trumping Mario's grab," he said.
Other changes include:
- Air time and accumulated damage will determine your period of invincibility while hanging on an edge.
- Grab controls will no longer be affected by whether you have above or below 100% damage.
It sounds like edge-grabbing, considered by some to be a cheap move, will be more difficult to pull off in the new Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS. It remains to be seen how the changes might affect competitive play.
The new Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS launches sometime in 2014. Cross-platform play between the two systems is not supported. For more, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of the fighting game.

British government minister: I’m ending this scandal over children’s care
No longer will the quality, policies and location of care homes be kept a secret, says the Education Secretary
To intervene or not to intervene? That is the question – in almost every area of politics. Well, I’m an unapologetic interventionist. When children are suffering, we need to act. As Education Secretary, I believe there is a direct responsibility on me to protect vulnerable children.
That is why I have fought to make it easier to take children in need into care. We should evacuate them from homes where they are being abused and neglected. I am glad the changes we have made to the adoption system mean more children are now being placed – permanently – with loving families.
Those rescued from neglectful homes, and who have not found stable, loving families to care for them, should find security and support in children’s homes where they can enjoy a fresh start.
But not all do. As we have been learning, through a series of horrific court cases, there are young people who were promised security in care who have been terribly exploited. It has been encouraging to see the energy that the Home Office and the police, who are leading the fight against child sexual exploitation, have deployed in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
But there’s an even greater responsibility on my shoulders – to intervene to make sure children in care are safe.
A year ago, when the first shocking cases of sexual exploitation in Rochdale were prosecuted, we set up expert groups to help us understand what we might do better. A change to the way police and social services record instances of missing children was the result; a new system begins next April.
That initial piece of research threw up many questions I found worrying. Many councils were not using children’s homes in their areas, but were decanting children to homes far from family, friends and the social workers who knew them. Why? Was cost a factor? Did we need to spend more? There was a lack of clarity about costs. And – most worrying of all – there was a lack of the most basic information about where these homes existed, who was responsible for them, and how good they were.
To my astonishment, when I tried to find out more, I was met with a wall of silence. The only responsible body with the information we needed was Ofsted, which registers children’s homes – yet Ofsted was prevented by “data protection” rules, “child protection” concerns and other bewildering regulations from sharing that data with us, or even with the police. Local authorities could only access information via a complex and time-consuming application process – and some simply did not bother.
The people with responsibility for overseeing the protection of children in any area – local safeguarding children boards – told us they did not even know when new homes opened locally, or where, and who were the children in them.
There was one group of people, however, who did seem to possess all the information: the gangs intent on exploiting these vulnerable children. They knew where the homes were; they knew how to contact the children – at the fish and chip shop, the amusement arcade, in the local park; or just by hanging around outside the houses.
In the name of “protecting children” by officially “protecting” their information, we had ended up helping the very people we were supposed to be protecting them from. We shielded the children from the authorities who needed to be looking out for them. An “out of sight, out of mind” culture developed.
I was determined to change this. First, we changed the absurd rules that prevented information being shared. And then we set to work digging through the data. Not all the information is perfect, but some of it stands out: almost half of children are placed in homes outside their local authority areas, and over a third are sent more than 20 miles from home. That is indefensible. So, too, is the fact that more than half of children’s homes are in areas with above-average crime levels.
Today we are publishing as full information as possible about the location, ownership and quality of children’s homes in England, in order to foster transparency and public debate on this issue, as well as improve care.
We are changing the rules so that children’s homes providers, councils and the police will have to risk-assess the location of new homes as part of the registration process. We are working with Ofsted on tougher enforcement powers: no longer will homes be able to languish at “adequate” year after year. And we want to focus on outcomes for these children: what are we achieving for them, at the huge cost of £200,000 per child per year?
We are working on matching data so that we will also be able to see exactly where councils are sending their children and which ones are sending them farthest from home – and force them to justify their actions.
I am sure there will be some who object to this additional scrutiny, accountability and pressure – there always are when there has been failure. But we cannot allow the interests of adults who have failed to trump the needs of children who have suffered.
A sordid orgy and why Max Mosley can't be allowed to erase history
More than any man on earth, the former Formula One racing chief Max Mosley is trying to rewrite the rules that have governed the workings of a free Press for many years, not just in this country but throughout Europe.
His latest assault is on the internet giant Google. He has been trying to persuade a French court that the web engine should be prevented from directing users to pictures of a private orgy that he organised five years ago.
The photographs, involving Mr Mosley and five consensual prostitutes, were originally published by the now defunct News of the World in March 2008. It alleged that Mr Mosley had been engaged in a ‘sick Nazi orgy’.
To the astonishment of many, three months later Mr Mosley won damages of £60,000 in the High Court from the paper, which was held to have invaded his privacy.
Although German was spoken, uniforms worn and blood was shed by Mosley during the proceedings, and despite heads apparently being inspected as though for lice, the learned judge declared there was no evidence that this had been a Nazi orgy.
Mr Justice Eady ruled that if it had been a Nazi orgy he might have found in favour of the newspaper, since Mr Mosley was a public figure of sorts whose suitability for his high-profile job would have been seriously called into question by such antics. As there was no such proof, the paper was required to pay damages and costs.
Buoyed by this significant (and to my mind irrational) verdict, Mr Mosley set about trying to restrict the activities of the Press.
In 2011 he argued in the European Court of Human Rights that ‘prior notification’ should be compulsory for newspapers, to give their targets time to obtain an injunction preventing publication.
In other words, a politician or businessman caught doing something wrong could try to persuade a sympathetic judge to kill off the story. Mercifully, the Court had a fit of good sense, and seven of its judges ruled that the right to freedom of expression would be at risk if ‘pre-notification’ was compulsory.
But Mr Mosley was, and is, a man obsessed. One way or another the Press must be curbed. His lawyers have just argued in front of French judges that Google should apply filters so that people would be unable to access photographs of his orgy.
The unwary might suppose that this is perfectly reasonable. If the News of the World was, according to an English judge, guilty of invading Mr Mosley’s privacy when it originally published photographs of his orgy, why should those photographs be available on the net?
Google’s response is that the application of filters would amount to a form of censorship. Access to news sites carrying the pictures, or to innocuous articles containing the images, might be blocked.
In short, the prohibition would extend much further than the photographs.
If anything, Google is understating the case. Should Mr Mosley get his way, the consequence could be the rewriting or erasing of chunks of history.
Whether or not his privacy was invaded, the photographs exist and no one has challenged their authenticity. They amount to a historical record of a sordid event which indubitably took place. Decent people might wish that it hadn’t, but it did.
These images continue to exist not only on the net but in libraries and private homes. If they were wiped out on the internet — actually, they physically can’t be, but access to them can be denied — they would logically have to be destroyed wherever else they might survive. That sounds like a police state.
If Mr Mosley wins this battle, his next step might be to request that any articles which so much as referred to the pictures of his orgy, or the orgy itself, should also be destroyed, possibly including this one.
And then a thousand other people who want to rewrite their pasts would also apply to have access blocked to discreditable information about them on the internet. In fact, it’s already happening.
The European Union’s highest court is considering whether Spain’s privacy regulator may have overstepped the mark when trying to force Google to remove unflattering search results for numerous citizens — for example, a doctor who claimed that a 1991 news article about a dispute with a patient had damaged his business.
Of course, libellous or untrue articles can, and should, be taken off the net. Google says it has removed hundreds of such pages relating to Mr Mosley following requests from him.
Equally, the search engine should do much more to block access to extreme pornographic websites. But such a welcome move does not involve the rewriting of history to which Mr Mosley’s innovations would lead us.
If he had his way, it would not be long before George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four became one step closer to reality. In that book, Winston Smith is employed as a clerk in the Ministry of Truth, rewriting historical documents to match the ever-shifting line of the powers that be.
Do I exaggerate? I don’t think so. Mr Mosley does not like freedom much. At a meeting of a Commons select committee in March he shocked observers. He suggested that access to foreign-based websites could be blocked if they flouted tough new rules that might be introduced by British regulators. That’s what they do in dictatorships such as Iran and China.
It’s surely no accident that Mr Mosley should have started his assault on freedom in France, a country with ferocious privacy laws in which newspapers are traditionally cowed by politicians and the courts.
Until shortly before his death, French newspapers did not dare reveal the truth about the war record, private life and financial misdemeanours of former president Francois Mitterrand.
For example, there was scant discussion of the period during the early years of World War II when he supported Petain’s pro-German Vichy regime, and allegations that he protected Nazi collaborators who helped deport French Jews to death camps were also downplayed. It was only in the months before his death that the Press revealed that Mitterrand had fathered an illegitimate child by a secret mistress.
The French court will deliver its verdict on Mr Mosley’s latest legal challenge, subject to appeal, on October 21. Meanwhile, he is also challenging Google in the German courts. He is aiming for Europe-wide controls on the web engine — and of course he has lots of money.
Though he has denied giving donations to Hacked Off, the pressure group campaigning for tougher regulation of British newspapers, he is a supporter of the organisation and has reportedly financed hacking victims’ lawyers. Will Hacked Off now condemn him for wishing to censor the internet? Of course not. What Mr Mosley yearns for, Hacked Off also wants.
He is a very wealthy man who organised a sordid orgy which the News of the World could have justly described as ‘German-themed’. Nevertheless, he won his case. Meanwhile, that newspaper has been closed down for unconnected reasons.
But that is not enough for him. His war of vengeance against the Press continues. It as if newspapers must suffer because he has been damaged.
He blames everyone except himself. It seems never to occur to Max Mosley that he may have acted unwisely or wrongly. In trying to bury his unwholesome past, this peculiar man would, if he could, cheerfully dismantle all our freedoms.
Outrage as 'loopy' UN inspector lectures Britain: She's from violent, slum-ridden Brazil, yet still attacks us on housing and human rights
Raquel Rolnik: A follower of Candomble, a religion linked to slavery that worships African gods
Furious Tories last night demanded the UN apologise for allowing a ‘loopy Brazilian leftie’ to attack the Government’s welfare reforms. Iain Duncan Smith said Raquel Rolnik had undermined the impartiality of the UN with her ‘outrageous’ call for his housing benefit shake-up to be axed.
The Work and Pensions Secretary wants UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon to investigate the senior official’s conduct.
He said she had not asked ministers or officials for their input, adding: ‘I find it staggering that without this official information Mrs Rolnik feels she is in a position to be able to properly prescribe what the future of the policy should be.’
Tory MP Stewart Jackson said Miss Rolnick was a ‘loopy Brazilian leftie with no evidence masquerading as a serious UN official’.
Senior UN officials have an open door to visit the UK but no specific invitation was extended to Mrs Rolnick.
She attended only one Whitehall meeting where the spare room subsidy was among the issues discussed and, according to officials, requested no further information.
The courts have ruled in favour of the housing benefit reform, which cuts payments to working-age claimants with more bedrooms than they need.
However, briefing left-wing newspapers about her report, Miss Rolnik said: ‘My immediate recommendation is that the bedroom tax is abolished.
'I was very shocked to hear how many people feel abused in their human rights by this decision and why – being so vulnerable – they should pay for the cost of the economic downturn, which was brought about by the financial crisis.
In her two-week tour Mrs Rolnik, who is the UN special rapporteur on housing, repeatedly borrowed Labour’s favoured description of the policy as a bedroom tax and appeared with campaigners at protest rallies.
She also suggested the idea of rent controls in the private sector, condemned the right-to-buy policy on council homes and insisted more public money should be spent on building social housing.
Mrs Rolnik revealed a shaky grasp of UK house prices by saying: ‘How many people can afford to buy a £120,000 apartment? Not many.’
Senior Conservatives and Liberal Democrats condemned her intervention, pointing out that the UN more usually provides help in war zones, famines and natural disasters.
They also pointed out that in Brazil, where Mrs Rolnik was in charge of housing policy, tens of millions of people are condemned to living in shanty towns, or favelas.
Mr Duncan Smith said: ‘Britain has a very strong housing safety net and we will continue to offer this valuable support, but also begin to get to grips with the £24billion housing benefit bill left behind by Labour and make better use of our housing stock. We’ve given councils £190million to support their residents who may need some extra help.
‘I find Mrs Rolnik’s approach to this whole report utterly unacceptable and frankly her actions undermine the impartiality of the UN.’
Tenants affected by the shake-up will face a 14 per cent cut in housing benefit for the first excess bedroom, and 25 per cent where two or more bedrooms are unused.
Ministers, who estimate the average affected household will lose £14 a week, says the policy will save taxpayers £500million a year.
They also say it will encourage people to move into smaller properties to relieve pressure on stock, helping families crammed into homes that are too small.
Tory party chairman Grant Shapps said he was writing to Mr Ban to make a formal complaint. ‘It is pretty outrageous – she has done this all under the wire,’ he said.
I quite simply do not know the answer to why she came here. Who invited her? Why not Brazil where there are 50million people living in shanty towns?’
Mrs Rolnik said last night she stood by her conclusions and claimed ‘everybody in the UK’ called the policy a bedroom tax. She also insisted she was invited by the Foreign Office.
Censorship by Fear
While the Church had been censoring written and spoken speech for centuries, government censorship of plays in Britain began in earnest with the Stage Licensing Act of 1737, to protect then Prime Minister Robert Walpole from criticism by satire and mockery on the stage, and ended with the Theatres Act of 1968. But other forms of censorship subsequently were enacted in Britain, many conforming to the legislative censorship of the European Union, rendering freedom of speech in Britain contingent on those laws, which amounts to a Byzantine maze of "negatives."
Article Ten of the European Convention reads:
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
Given the woozy state of any definition of freedom of speech today, or even its practice, in virtually any country, Article Ten not so much guarantees freedom of speech, but wraps it in a Rubik's Cube-like conceptual straightjacket which only a puzzle-master or a consummate politically correct judge would be able to grasp. It is burdened with so many qualifications and exceptions it may as well decree: "We will let you know when you are 'free' to say anything. Until then, be quiet, or it's a fine and the lockup for you."
For example, a Swedish man has been charged with "intentionally disrupting a religious or spiritual ceremony," in this instance, the Friday call to prayers outside a Stockholm mosque, by honking his car horn. This is an example of Sweden's fatal dhimmitude and deference to its growing Muslim population. But, I am betting that no one has ever been charged with the same offense for honking a horn outside a church while its bells were ringing.
Of course, the local Swedish law must conform to the European Convention one, or at least not conflict with it. But, how does one categorize "horn honking" as unprotected speech? Does it encourage "disorder or crime"? Does it violate "the rights of others"? Is it a dereliction of one's alleged "duty and responsibility"? How does one reconcile the "right" not to hear a honking horn and the "right," if you are not a Muslim, not to hear some talentless muezzin screeching and wailing for between three to five minutes every Friday afternoon?
Well, you don't reconcile them, because these are not "rights." On the one hand, the government frowns on literal horn honking if it bothers Muslims. On the other, it protects the equivalent of malicious horn honking, that is, the loud call to prayers. The call to prayers is "spiritual"; horn honking is not. So says fiat, non-objective jurisprudence.
While the Swedish man denies he deliberately honked his horn to disturb the congregated Muslims - we cannot know the contents of his mind, that is, what he intended - it would not have mattered had he confessed that this was his intention. He is still liable under the city's municipal code. He disturbed the "peace" of the faithful. Period.
In Austria, a man was charged with "ridiculing" or "disparaging" Muslim beliefs by yodeling and mowing his lawn at the same time while his Muslim neighbors were trying to lift their arses and bang their heads on the floor of their home in prayer. Again, local Austrian law must conform to EU law, or not contradict it, and doubtless a European Union judge would concur with the Austrian court's decision to fine the man. His neighbors claimed that his yodeling was a satirical attempt to copy the wails of a muezzin. (Personally, I find both a call to prayers and yodeling esthetically abominable. I would be a harsh judge if a muezzin and a yodeler ever appeared on "Austria's Got Talent.")
In Rennes, France, a butcher was driven out of business because local Muslims, objecting to his selling of pork, repeatedly threatened him and vandalized his shop. Did Article Ten protect the butcher? No. Because some freedom of speech is "more equal" than others, particularly if it is a Muslim's freedom of speech. The Muslims spoke; the butcher left the building.
In this country, singer Miley Cyrus ignited a controversy with her super-vulgar performance during a Brooklyn concert. Conservatives were up in arms. Breitbart News sort of condemned her cacophonous gyrations:
"The former teen star's sexualized romp might have made Madonna blush--with envy"
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a "sexualized romp." It can be vulgar, or it can be tastefully stimulating. There is a difference between a sexualized romp and the simulated pornography exhibited by Cyrus. Sexualized romps have been around at least as long as the live stage. But, I dare anyone to compare Cyrus's performance, or Lady Gaga's, or Madonna's, with, say, Rita Hayworth's performance of "The Heat is On," and claim they are all on the same level. They are not. Aside from the fact that neither Cyrus, nor Gaga, nor Madonna ever had a thimbleful of Hayworth's talent, Hayworth is esthetically appealing, as well.
Rita Hayworth sizzles. Miley Cyrus? Yawn.
Someone might object: But how can such outrageous performances as Miley Cyrus's be protected as "freedom of speech" or "freedom of expression"? Easily. Don't watch them. Don't patronize the likes of Cyrus. That's their protection. "Entertainers" such as Miley Cyrus can degrade themselves as much as they wish, but one has the choice of not rewarding them for it. One has the freedom to avert one's eyes and stuff one's ears when Rita Hayworth is performing, as well. One may even wish to criticize such behavior, but one hasn't the right to stop it, unless one wishes to resort to force. Resorting to force as a means of surcease in the realm of speech has always been a government's tyrannical prerogative.
A more fundamental objection would focus, instead, on the state of a culture that would generate and encourage such crude performances as Cyrus's as entertainment values, entertainment which appeals to the mindless, prurient hedonism and tasteless interests of countless esthetic illiterates. Artists with nothing to say usually resort to gross behavior and call it "novel" or "ground-breaking." In the musical, literary, and visual realms, they are the avant-garde of nihilism. Miley Cyrus has joined a populous club that includes such notables as James Joyce and Jackson Pollack.
There are many individuals in government who do know themselves and dare to impose their mediocre, mean little souls on the rest of us. They are the "soul-brethren" of Miley Cyrus. Of far more danger is the choice of self-censorship. Fear of retaliation in the way of direct or indirect government force can cause an individual to not speak out when it is important that he speak, or even to commit self-perjury.
While we now know that the government can and will monitor our phone calls and emails, and has selectively targeted particular and prominent individuals at the behest of presidents and other powers that are satellites of the Oval Office to discredit political opponents or neutralize or silence opposition of any kind (e.g., General David Petraeus), censorship needn't be overt. A more effective means of silencing ideas and truths is to instill fear of retaliation in individuals. The National Security Agency (NSA) is completing a multi-billion dollar facility in Utah that will store every phone call and email of Americans and others.
For what purpose? To "fight terrorism"? You "fight terrorism" by eliminating states that sponsor it, not by snooping into the privacy of citizens which your agency is chartered to protect from state-sponsored terrorism, and collecting data that can be used to silence citizens via blackmail or threatened coercion lest they oppose government policies or speak truths.
In short, you don't fight state-sponsored terrorism by instituting state-sponsored terrorism.
That, in short, is the mind-numbing character of censorship by fear. And its advocates know it. After all, if one remains silent for fear of retaliation or retribution, one can't claim that one is being "censored," can one? Where's the gun pointed at one's head?
The person holding the gun...is you.
Political correctness is most pervasive in universities and colleges but I rarely report the incidents concerned here as I have a separate blog for educational matters.
American "liberals" often deny being Leftists and say that they are very different from the Communist rulers of other countries. The only real difference, however, is how much power they have. In America, their power is limited by democracy. To see what they WOULD be like with more power, look at where they ARE already very powerful: in America's educational system -- particularly in the universities and colleges. They show there the same respect for free-speech and political diversity that Stalin did: None. So look to the colleges to see what the whole country would be like if "liberals" had their way. It would be a dictatorship.

AC Grayling’s New College of Humanities has signed a list of top-flight professors and a Bloomsbury campus. But no university would be complete without its own traditions. To help students at the £18,000 a year institution, we look at traditions from other universities around the country.
Due to the enormous amount of free time at university, student pranks are ingenious. Perhaps the most famous example is the night an Austin7 appeared on the roof of the Cambridge University Senate House.
However, this was outdone by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who managed to park a police car on top of the university's Great Dome.
Nothing preserves university tradition quite so well as eccentric societies. And for true eccentricity, look to the Scottish universities. Prince William's alma mater St Andrews is home to the Kate Kennedy Club, whose members progress through the town each year wearing period dress; while Edinburgh University Diagnostics Society holds regular candle-lit debates in the presence of a sword and a 'Sacred flame of reason'.
Over time every university acquires its own language - words and phrases that the students and academics understand but which leave outsiders baffled. At the University of Leicester there was such a plethora of exclusive terminology that one student even put together a searchable online dictionary, including citations and etymology.
Of course, most of the entries were just novel ways to describe drinking too much.
When it comes to exam tradition, Oxford is in a league of its own. Not only do all students have to take their exams in sub-fusc (a dark suit with an academic gown and mortarboard), but Oxford also features 'the most difficult exam in the world': the entrance test for fellows-only All Souls College. And after exams, students can look forward being covered in flour, eggs and shaving foam by their friends - a tradition affectionately known as 'trashing'.
Perhaps the most consistent feature of a university town will be the crowds of students making their way round the local pubs and bars. In Freshers Week it is turned into a game, and usually involves fancy dress or score-cards. Though each university will have their own routes and rules (Leeds' Otley Run contains a liver-shrinking 19 stops), these are mostly forgotten by the end of the night.

9. Right of withdrawal
Revocation notice for consumers:
1. Right of withdrawal:
You may revoke your contract declaration in writing (e.g. letter, fax, email) within 14 days without giving reasons or – if the item was conveyed before the deadline – by returning the goods. The period begins upon receipt of this notification in written form, but not before the receipt of the good by the customer. In order to ensure the revocation period it is sufficient to send the revocation or return the item in time. The revocation has to be sent to:
Herrn Kai Malte Fuchs-Landsberger
D-79199 K irchzarten
2. Consequences of revocation:
In case of an effective revocation both parties have to return the received benefits and – where applicable – to surrender earned profits (e.g. interests). If you cannot return the received benefits completely or partly or just in a deteriorated condition you have to pay compensation for the value (when applicable). For the release of goods this is not applicable if the deterioration of the item is solely put down to the inspection as it would have been possible for you in a store. By the way, you may avoid the obligation for value replacement, if you do not take possession of the item as if you were the owner and if you refrain from doing anything which might have an effect on the value of the item. Items which can be shipped as a parcel have to be shipped at the risk of MONOWALKER DESIGN. You have to pay the costs for the return if the delivered item corresponds to the ordered item and if the price of the delivered item is not higher than 40 Euro or if you have not reciprocated or paid a contractual agreed partial payment in case of a higher price of the item at the time of the revocation. Otherwise, the return is free of charge for you. Obligations to reimburse payments have to be fulfilled within 30 days. Die deadline starts for you with the sending of your revocation declaration or the return of the item and for us with receipt of these.
End of the revocation notice
The right of revocation is not applicable for goods that were produced to meet the specifications of the customer (special design).
10. Notification of defects – warranty - liability
10.1 Unless otherwise agreed the legal warranty period of 24 months from the date of delivery on is granted for non-obvious defects. Written notice of obvious defects must be given within 2 weeks after reception of the item, otherwise warranty claims for obvious defects cannot be asserted. A claim for loss on a patent damage to the goods ordered will only be settled with written confirmation from the particular carrier. Notifications of defects by merchants are subject to the legal requirements of the German Commercial Code.
10.2 The customer is obliged to agree to an examination of the defective item by MONOWALKER DESIGN. After reception of a defective item and after determination of a fair and reasonable extension of the original term he is entitled to a reparation or replacement of the defect item (subsequent fulfillment). Only in case of failure of repair or first replacement the customer may assert his right of withdrawal of the contract or of reduction in purchase price (diminution). However, in case of subsequent fulfillment the customer is obliged to hand out the defect item and to come up with compensation for the amenity and advantage for using it.
10.3 The warranty obligation will not apply for damages due to fair wear and tear or improper handling. In case of returned items that are rightfully claimed to be defective MONOWALKER DESIGN covers costs and risk. The same shall apply to reshipment of the purchased item.
10.4 Liability for defects is also inapplicable if the purchased item has been improperly installed or maintained, repaired or changed by the customer or a third party or if it has been subjected to conditions or mechanical loads, that do not correspond to the technical properties of the purchased item unless the customer proves these circumstances not to be causative for the defects.
10.5. The liability of defects is also inapplicable if the original technical condition of the item is changed beyond the generally possible reconstruction of if components are taken off or changed without prior written agreement by MONOWALKER DESIGN.
10.6 If several components are delivered at the same time each delivery item is considered to be independent. Therefore, possible liability claims are restricted to the defect item.
10.7 MONOWALKER DESIGN is only liable for damages due to culpable violation of major contractual obligations. Further liability results only from the Product Liability act or from intent or gross negligence of us or our vicarious agents.
10.8 Descriptions or representations of the item as well as its technical properties do not represent a warranty of characteristics. A warranty of characteristics of the item in a legal sense is only given if information is explicitly confirmed by MONOWALKER DESIGN in writing.
11. Limitation of liability
11.1 The liability of MONOWALKER DESIGN is based exclusively on the agreements of the paragraphs above. This is not valid in case of gross negligence or criminal intent.
11.2 The limitation of liability applies to contractual and non-contractual claims.
12. Data protection
12.1 Regarding the personal information of the customer MONOWALKER DESIGN complies with all regulations of the Data Protection Act and is entitled to process and store all data referring to the business relation with the client in accordance with the regulations of this law. MONOWALKER DESIGN is according to law in force also entitled to seek information about credit worthiness with trading and credit information agencies.
12.2 Upon written demand MONOWALKER DESIGN will inform the entitled party about the stored data.
12.3 Each access to our homepage and retrieval of a file deposited on the homepage are logged. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes and comprises name of the file accessed, date and time of the visit, volume of data transferred, whether it was a successful access, name of visitor’s web browser and domain.

The customer is at any time entitled to withdraw in writing his consent given to MONOWALKER DESIGN, the revocation being effective in the future. Stored personal data is deleted when the customer withdraws his consent of storage, when the information is no longer needed to fulfill the initial purpose of the storage or when the storage is inadmissible because of other legal reasons.
12.5 MONOWALKER DESIGN endeavors to store personal data of the customers with all technical and organizational means in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. However, when communicating by e-mail we cannot guarantee complete protection of your data. As a consequence we suggest sending confidential information by regular mail.
13. Severability clause
Should one or several parts of the terms and conditions of MONOWALKER DESIGN be or become null and void, invalid or contestable entirely or partly the validity of the remaining regulations shall remain unaffected.

14. Applicable law and legal venue
The national laws of the Federal Republic of Germany are applicable for the present terms and conditions and contracts concluded with MONOWALKER DESIGN according to these terms. The exclusive jurisdiction and legal venue for all legal disputes shall be Freiburg im Breisgau.

Queen Elizabeth II dies - follow the latest news as the world mourns
United Nations officials are understood to have rebuffed a British inquiry about postponing the start of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York in mid-September after a potential clash with the date of the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General, offered his sympathies over the death of the British monarch on Thursday but communicated to UK diplomats that the date of the annual meeting, the first full-scale gathering since the pandemic, could not be shifted.
According to the traditional formula, the most likely date for the royal funeral is Monday, September 19, the day before the high-level debate, in which world leaders address the session, is due to kick off.
Logistics and planning means this is a nightmare for a cavalcade of world leaders who were planning to head to New York.
There are 15 countries that called the 96-year-old queen their head of state, and more than 50 nations in the Commonwealth.
Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, is one of those who has said he is going to the funeral.
“I can confirm the president of the European Council will attend the state funeral of the queen,” a spokesman said.
US President Joe Biden responded “yes, probably” when asked if he would attend. Countries that are still ruled by the UK crown are also expected to make the funeral.
New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern had been due to fly to New York on September 17 but is now going to London first.
“I will prioritise along with the governor general, doing our duty representing New Zealand and passing on the condolences of our whole nation,” she said.
At the UN, the Security Council stood in silent tribute at the start of a meeting on Ukraine. France’s ambassador Nicolas de Riviere, the council president, sent condolences on behalf of its 15 members.
He said Queen Elizabeth presided “over a period of historic changes both for her country and the world … Her life was devoted to the service of her country”.
The queen visited the UN headquarters twice, including in 2010 when she addressed the general assembly.
“I hope that when future generations judge our actions, our sincerity, our willingness to lead and our determination to do the right thing will stand the test of time,” she said.
“In tomorrow's world, we must all work together and more vigorously than ever before if we really want to be United Nations.”
Also up in the air are the plans of Liz Truss, the new UK prime minister, who was planning to make her debut on the international stage at UNGA after having taken office on Tuesday.
King Charles III is due to set the date for the funeral on Saturday. He automatically become king on the death of his mother but the funeral arrangements cannot be made until the Accession Council meeting that confirms him in the role.
This gathering is usually convened at St James’s Palace in London within 24 hours of the death of a sovereign.
However, it will be held later because the announcement of the queen's death did not come until early evening on Thursday, meaning there was not enough time to set the plans in motion for Friday morning.

ORANGE – Chapman University’s Department of Public Safety is hoping for another quick – and mostly quiet – Undie Run Wednesday night.
The run occurs every Wednesday night during Chapman’s finals week in the winter and the spring. Students meet at Memorial Hall, strip to their underwear, run a couple of blocks to the Plaza, or traffic circle, and back.
The local origins of the Undie Run are unknown. Some say it began at Chapman about 10 years ago, but others say it began before that.
The unsanctioned event gained notoriety and media attention after the winter 2008 run left the historic fountain in the Plaza broken and city officials angry after students frolicked in it.
Chapman University eventually picked up the $13,000 tab to fix the fountain and worked with city officials and student leaders to avoid a similar incident from occurring again.
Since that run, the fountain in the Plaza, and all three of the fountains on the university campus, are barricaded leading up to the runs.
Chapman’s chief of public safety, Randy Burba, said his department will coordinate with the Orange Police Department to help usher revelers back to campus.
“The last one (in December) was the best one,” Burba said. “The students did the run, came back to campus and quickly went back to the dorms.”

Udaipur the erstwhile capital of Mewar Kingdom has been called the “Venice of the East” due to its lake side hotels and forts. Udaipur also has the national honor of being called the City of Lakes . I instantaneously planned a trip to the royal city Udaipur in Rajasthan just a day before we actually undertook our journey. As I and my friends didn't have train tickets we took a bus . It took us 14 hours to reach Udaipur and I wasn’t very happy with the bus but still it’s the best thing you can get in the 11th hour. The condition of highways and the quality of public transport was appalling.
Udaipur is a city with a lot of history and it is reflected in the forts and monuments one comes across while visiting this city.We got a room in the Gulab Bagh area of the city, the hotel was good and staff there helped us in booking a cab for touring the city. We spent some time at the Fateh Sagar Lake and Maharana Pratap memorial. After this, we headed to Saheliyon ki Bari, which basically is a garden and courtyard for the royal maidens. By the time it was around 2 p.m. we decided to have lunch and then went to explore City Palace and Lake Pichola.We were lucky to have experienced sunset by the lake side and it was magical! The fort is so grand that you can’t just capture its beauty in a picture, you have to be there to understand its grandeur scale .
Next day, we were lucky enough to witness the Gangaur Festival. Gangaur is all about honouring the goddess Gauri. A manifestation of Parvati (Lord Shiva’s wife), she represents purity and austerity. Gangaur signifies Lord Shiva and Parvati together. It’s believed that Parvati returned to her parental home during Gangaur, to bless her friends with marital bliss. On the last day, Parvati was given a grand farewell by her loved ones and Lord Shiva arrived to escort her home. We had planned the trip in sync with the festival dates and it was worth the travel and wait. Although the festival is celebrated all over Rajasthan, but especially in Udaipur it is celebrated specially for three consecutive days known as hari gangaur, chundari gangaur and gulabi gangaur.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that night-life was better than most of the cities in the state. I visited Fatehsagar Lake after dinner. We tried kulhad coffee (which is nothing but coffee served in an earthen pot, it has a distinctive taste to it ) in the local cafes. We walked down the road besides the lake and it was really good to see people hanging around with their friends and family.o, after spending the day touring the city, evening spent at the Gangaur Ghat and strolling on a road by the lake Fateh Sagar after dinner.. I was pretty happy with Udaipur as a tourist destination and as a landmark in Indian history. We headed to our hotel at 11 pm so that we could get enough sleep for the next day’s adventures.
After covering most of Udaipur on our first day, we had two choices – we could have covered Sajjangarh and other places in Udaipur such as museums or we could for a side trip to Haldi Ghati, Ekling Ji temple and Nathdwara temple. We decided to go for the trip since my friends wanted to visit the famous temples and I was interested in history of Rana Pratap. It took us 5 hours to cover all the 3 places as they are a little away from the main city.
The Ekling Ji temple complex is said to be 1200 years old and Eklingji is believed to be the ruling deity of Mewar Princely State and the Ruler Maharana rules as his Dewan. The site has a complex of stone temples and is maintained very well. I wasn’t allowed to click the building but here is a shot of the place from Google. Begun in 971, the temple complex was built by the Guhila (later called Sesodia) dynasty of Mewar, in honor of their presiding deity Eklingji, a form of Lord Shiva. The beautifully sculpted temple complex includes 108 temples within its high walls. The main temple, which dates to the 15th century, was rebuilt from the ruins of an earlier destroyed temple. After covering the Ekling Ji temple, we headed for the Nathdwara temples and boy, it was a crowded place! The place is famous for its temple of Krishna which houses the idol of Shrinathji, a 14th century, 7-year old“infant” incarnation of Krishna. After taking the blessings of gods we headed t oHaldi Ghati . Haldi Ghati is the same battlefield which made Rana Pratap a hero.
We came back to Udaipur at 3 pm and had our bus at 5 pm. We had lunch at Celebration Mall, the largest mall in the city and after all the journeying into history, having burgers for lunch seemed very relaxing. Udaipur is a must visit for anyone coming to Rajasthan. the city would leave you enchanted and you’d definitely get a liking for Rajasthani culture after spending a day here. It was a brilliant trip, the schedule was just perfect, we enjoyed a lot, saw most of the places to be seen, didn’t waste a lot of time in sleeping or travelling and yet were not tired to the extreme limit. We had started off from Pilani at 6 pm and came back at 7 am on Monday morning, so it was a prefect execution of plans and perfect utilization of the weekend.
