"A character who, although acting for primarily 'evil' or selfish goals, is either not in full control of their actions or emotions and the reader or viewer can sympathize for due to them not being evil by choice; but rather by them being a victim of circumstance. These villains can face a crisis of conscience in which they submit to doing evil. These villains often have confused morals believing that they are doing moral when in fact they are doing evil."
Stella Louissier in Gundam Seed Destiny, due to being a brainwashed Super Soldier who was given Training from Hell since she was a young child and has a Control Word to keep her in line. The other members of Phantom Pain could also qualify, but Stella is the biggest example because of how childlike and broken she is, and her love for Shinn Asuka.
As you go down the line from the One Year War, you'll find Zekes and Feddies both that get caught up in a Cycle of Revenge as the previous wars left them scarred and without purpose but vengeance. The most recent example of this is Loni Garvey from Gundam Unicorn, the daughter of a former Zeon soldier who brought the remnants together, she lost her parents in a Feddie hunt for remnants and it has consumed her such that all she wants is vengeance for that.
Hokuto No Ken: Shin, originally Kenshirou's best friend, is tricked into becoming a Big Bad due to his weak heart by Jagi, who convinces him to kill Kenshirou to get his lover, Yuria, whom Shin has long had a great desire for. He tries to please Yuria with every luxury he gains with his bloody hands, but to no avail. When Yuria commits suicide - or at least, she seems dead - to prevent him from doing it any further, Shin is left heartbroken, and finally joins her in the afterworld after his defeat in the hands of his former friend, Kenshirou.
Souther also qualifies as a Tragic Villain - a particularly cruel, tyrannical type. Overrun by the grief of killing his own beloved adoptive father and master, who instructed him to do it to complete his training, he goes insane and orders children to build a pyramid for his master without mercy until Kenshirou kills him, making him reveal his human side at his death.
In Code Geass, either Lelouch or Suzaku or both could apply for this: They've both done morally dubious things in the hope for a better world, they've both demonstrated a great deal of regret and guilt over what they've done, and yet they both feel that they have no other choice but to continue down their current path.
Continue, nothing. It is their tragedy that makes them start walking on that path in the first place - it is only after accepting that they have no choice but to walk the morally dubious path that they truly do things that would be regarded as villainy.
Mao may count as well, since the reason why he's a villain stems from the Geass he received at the age of six. Unlike most examples, though, he doesn't seem to be aware that he's evil.
For that matter, if one is to consider C.C. (the one who gave Mao and Lelouch their Geass) a villain, then she also qualifies, as she was an innocent girl who was tricked into inheriting the power of Geass and immortality.
Some of the Un Dead in Shiki hate what they have become, but the pressure from other vampires combined with their uncontrollable bloodlust and desire to live mean that they can't stop themselves. The best example would be Tohru.
Also take note that he subverts this trope. He's genuinely surprised when Renamon saves his life and offers him a second chance, and actually turns her offer down since he thinks death is all he deserves. After some persuasion on her part, he relents and becomes a Reformed, But Rejectedatoner, although he still doesn't think he can nor deserves to be redeemed.
Lucy from Elfen Lied is one of the prime examples of this trope: A broken little girl who became a murderous monster after she snapped at the world's relentless cruelty and her own budding insanity.
The Akuma from D. Gray-Man could count, especially the ones given backstories, like Mimi, Crea/Claire from the first few episodes, and the witch from the witch arc.
Naruto: Character Development revealed that Gaara's psychosis was a direct result of the actions of his own father's attempts to either turn him into a living weapon or kill him. Insanity and Shukaku's whispers were his last refuge from the bleak emptiness of his childhood. Thankfully, he does a Heel Face Turn and life starts getting better for him. As the series has progressed a majority of the villians has turned out to be this with notable exeptions being Zabuza and Orochimaru.
Even then you can make a case for those two. Zabuza proved to truly care about Haku, and his death truly did break his heart and drove him to Suicide by Cop. Orochimaru lost his parents at a young age and desired immortality to see their reincarnations. Originally he wanted it for himself and the entire village, but eventually his increasing thirst for power and descent into insanity made him lose sight of his original goal and made him into what he is today.
In all actuality, the only real exception to this trope in Naruto is Hidan. He killed his neighbors and ditched his village because the village itself became a tourist resort and abandoned the whole ninja village thing. The lack of violence went against his religion.
Conversely, one of the most tragic is the Big Bad, Tobi, aka Obito. Tobirama's revelation of how the Uchiha Clan's deep sense love is also the source of their "curse" and subsequent insanity changes the perspective of Obito's supposedly disproportionate reaction to Rin's death. The mental anguish truly was worse for him, and to see the girl he loved killed by his best friend was something his mind couldn't handle. He clings to the Assimilation Plot of Madara not because he honestly wants to make a better world, but because it can give him back the person he loved the most: Rin.
Rosine from Berserk was an abused child who sacrificed her parents to the Godhand. There's also Griffith, who crossed the Despair Event Horizon. In fact, all of the demonic Apostles, the main villains of the series, were once humans who made a Deal with the Devil during a moment of ultimate despair.
The King of Night in Kore wa Zombie desu ka?. He grew to hate his immortality and just wanted to die. However, Yuu saw him as a friend still and didn't want to kill him, so the King went out and caused everything that happened to get Yuu to hate him and thus kill him.
Adolf Kaufman from Adolf. He was forced to go to Adolf Hitler Schule and became a true Nazi who killed without compassion. He crossed the Moral Event Horizon several times, which made him lose his friends and family. He realized at the end of the war that what he did was useless, but it was really too late for him to have any chance of rehabilitation.
In Sonic X, Dark Oak, also known as Luke/Lucas, counts as one, as his tragic past happened during a war that took place on his former home planet of Seedrius-Flora/Greengate. Refusing to leave with the other Seedrians and abandon his home planet after having fought so long, he began using its Planet Egg to make the male Seedrians' transformations last longer to Hertia/Earthia's shock and dismay, forcing the females to destroy the males and leave them behind. But a few males survived and they became the Metarex. The motivation of Dark Oak and the Metarex is to erase all life of flesh and blood from the entire galaxy so that plants can rule, and therefore bring their own peace and tranquility to the galaxy, and they require the Planet Eggs and the seven Chaos Emeralds to do so. In the end, Dark Oak finally realizes the errors of his ways when Sonic and co. defeat him with help from Cosmo's Heroic Sacrifice - he realizes that Hertia/Earthia was right about his lust for power destroying his own people and him bringing nothing but pain and suffering to everyone. Hertia/Earthia appears before Dark Oak and gives him a second chance, and he happily reunites with her and they both depart for the afterlife.
Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. Despite embodying his Father's gluttony, Gluttony is a near invincible overweight manchild who would rather eat and spend time with Lust like a child to his mother than actively hurting anyone beyond eating them. No doubt tears were shed when he himself was eaten by the Pride, calling out to Lust (who died earlier in the series) to help him.
Prior to the aforementioned animated series, Mr. Freeze was just a generic Silver Age kooky tech-based villain: B:TAS came up with the idea of Mr. Freeze as a man simply wanting to restore his wife and every incarnation since (except for the one in The Batman) has adopted this aspect.
Depending on the Writer, fellow Batman foe Killer Croc can also be seen as one of these. Yes, he's a homicidal cannibal, but he is often portrayed as having little to no control over those urges. His increasingly bestial appearance and the gradual loss of his own humanity (again, Depending on the Writer) makes it impossible for him to have any sort of life other than that of a villain. In his appearance in the Titans series, he mentions that all he wants now is to be left alone.
Wonder Man, long-time Avenger, has been straying into this. After being revived, he's become increasingly disillusioned with the perpetual cycle of superhero-supervillain violence. After repeatedly asking the Avengers not to re-assemble, he puts together a team of similar malcontents (including a new Goliath, angry over his uncle's death during Civil War) who attack Avengers Mansion and Stark Tower, demanding that the Avengers be disbanded.
Michael Corleone in The Godfather Saga. He starts as an independent minded War Hero, but he is gradually dragged into mob life to protect his father and his family. He fought his perceived enemies with cold ruthlessness for years while he struggles to achieve legitimacy, and by the time he gets there, he admits that it's too late and that he is too tired and past redemption, and passes the torch to a new Don.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Davy Jones falls into this category, since it was his love for Calypso and her betrayal that caused him to do the things he did, including telling the pirates how to lock her in a human body.
Godzilla. The original 1954 film Gojira showed that he was as much a victim of the atomic bomb as everyone else.
Loki from Thor. He was motivated by a combination of sibling rivalry with Thor, the desire to impress his father, personal ambition, and a messed up sense of duty towards Asgard. There is also probably a fair dose of self-loathing, seeing as he found out that he was a Frost Giant and not an Asgardian.
He is also portrayed as this in The Trails of Loki comic miniseries.
Hans Beckert of M doesn't want to murder children, but just feels compelled to do so. His speech at the end (wherein he calls out the Mob hunting him down on their ruthlessness) reveals just how tortured and screwed up he really feels.
The Villain Protagonist of The Headless Eyes, a burglar who loses his eye in the very first scene and slowly loses his mind as well, winds up becoming this by the end of the film, to the point where even after everything he's done in the course of the film, the audience still feels sorry for him as he freezes to death in a meat freezer without ever having found a real solution to his eye problem.
Mama/Edith in Mama. In the film, due to her mentality, her baby was taken from her, and she went through extreme measures to get her child back. She then commits suicide by jumping off a cliff and her baby ends up on the branch while she lands into the water. It's implied that she doesn't even know where her lost child is. She also kills and threatens people who she thinks wants to harm Victoria and Lily. All she ever wanted was to be a good mother.
While usually many of James Bond villains tend to avoid this trope being pure evil and totally lack of redeeming qualities, there are few exepctions.
Alec Trevelyan/Janus from GoldenEye. He wants revenge on the British government after it betrayed his parents, Lienz Cossacks, and sent them back to the USSR where Joseph Stalin had them all executed. Though Trevelyan and his family manage to escape the execution, Trevelyan's father was ashamed to have liven his life as a Lienz Cossack, and he purposely killed Trevelyan's mother and himself out of survivor's guilt.
Elektra King from The World Is Not Enough. She was kidnapped by the terrorist Renard and held for ransom, which her father refused to pay on the advice M. Embittered by what she saw as her father's betrayal, she participated in Renard's scheme to milk money from her father.
Raoul Silva from Skyfall. He was turned over to the Chinese in exchange for four other agents. They tortured him, but he refused to give up his secrets. Upon learing it was M that gave him up, he tried to commit suicide, but the cyanide didn't work, but left him disfigured.
Oz The Great And Powerful reveals that the Wicked Witch of the West came to be because she was too naïve to realize that her sister was playing her and agreed to bite a magic apple that turned her into a merciless Axe Crazy villain. Oz is partly to blame for that, as he flirted with Theodora like he does with any girl he meets, making it easy for Evanora to claim that Oz courted her too while showing pictures of Oz with Glinda. Even Evanora is disturbed as to how Axe Crazyher sister has become.
Cujo isn't really a villain in the popular sense of the word, but he's just as much a victim as anyone else is, and if the Cambers had taken the possibility of their dog catching rabies seriously, the disaster could have been avoided. Parts of the books are told from his perspective; there it's shown that he suffers horribly from rabies, and only attacks people because he believes that they are responsible for his pain.
Murtagh from the Inheritance Cycle. During Eldest, he is enslaved by Lord Galbatorix and forced to fight on his side. Brisingr makes it appear that he's gone completely evil at first, but Eragon speculates that he's getting back at the world for giving him a crappy life. Near the end of the book, he's fighting the Dragon Rider Oromis and he desperately screams at him, "YOU COULD HAVE HELPED US!".
His dragon, Thorn, counts as well, as he wonders why he was brought into the world just so he could be tortured and destroy things.
Galbatorix's dragon, Shruikan, is arguably one of these as well. While Galbatorix remains a villain, several characters point out that Shruikan never chose to serve him; his real rider was killed when he was a hatchling and he was forced to bond with Galbatorix, driving him insane. When he finally appears in Inheritance, he is a nightmarishly huge and powerful dragon that appears to be an Omnicidal Maniac; Elva tells Eragon that nothing is left of him but pain and hate, and the best they can do is end his suffering.
Barely averted by Zack Allan. He joins Nightwatch because he thinks it's an extra 50 credits per week for the work he's already doing, but over time finds that he's joined an organization with darker goals. He's in over his head, and struggling with the ethics of his previous decision—but he can't leave Nightwatch without causing himself more trouble. It's not until Captain Sheridan and the rest of the senior crew offer him a way out that he's finally able to escape his dilemma—thankfully, before he's forced to perform any actual evil.
Michael Dawson from LOST, who murdered Ana Lucia and Libby and delivered Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley into the hands of the Others because it was the only way to free his 10-year-old son and get him off the Island.
FBI Agent Alexander Mahone, the main villain in the second season of Prison Break, is only trying to murder the protagonists because the Nebulous Evil Organisation is blackmailing him (they know he murdered a Serial Killer), on top of threatening to kill his wife and child.
Gamel, one of the Greeed in Kamen Rider OOO, is by far the most sympathetic of the Greeed, being a childish simpleton who doesn't care about doing evil things, and only wants to make Mezool happy. He's still The Brute, and has absolutely zero regard for anyone's life but Mezool's, but his puppy-like devotion makes his eventual death (both of them) feel very sad.
Mezool counts as well: her driving desire is to experience parental love. She is quite satisfied with treating Gamel as her child until she receives a Hannibal Lecture that pushes her over the edge, all the while lamenting the impossibility of her dream (Greeed cannot reproduce) and the unquenchable nature of her desire.
The Master from Doctor Who, especially during the two-parter The End of Time.
The Minotaur in "The God Complex". He doesn't want to kill, but does so in order to survive and feels at peace when it finally dies.
The entire run of Breaking Bad is essentially a long tale of this, as Walt starts out forced into his life of crime as his only way to care for his family, but eventually starts choosing evil and caring only about himself.
Theon Greyjoy on Game Of Thrones. He has done some terrible things, but it was all because he was totally torn between two families - the family that raised him and treated him well but held him from his blood family as a hostage, and his blood family who gave him up in the first place and now treats him like dirt. Once he made his decision, there was no going back, and he could only sink further and further down as he tried to find a place to fit in. And then, after he is tortured brutally and finally escapes, he admits that he chose wrong and that he betrayed his true family, the Starks. And then he's brought back to be tortured again.
Three Days Grace's song "Animal I Have Become" could be interpreted as being about one of these.
Other songs that seem to portray this trope seem to be especially prevalent in the metal and punk genres, such as:
Sweeney Todd is a classic example. Having been exiled by a corrupt judge who then took his wife and fostered his daughter, he returns for revenge and to save his family. When his vengeance is denied, he teams up with Ms. Lovett, who makes the worst meat pies in London. Her meat pies become much better when Sweeney Todd starts murdering every man who comes to his barber shop and giving the bodies to her to use. Yet despite being a mass murderer who helps dupe people into eating human flesh, Sweeney is still usually portrayed as a Woobie and Villain Protagonist in the musical. His original incarnation in penny dreadfuls was a lot less sympathetic.
Final Fantasy IV has Golbez, really Theodore Harvey, Cecil's brother, who may cross the Moral Event Horizon several times in the game, except that he was under the control of Zemus and takes full responsibility for his actions once freed from Zemus's control.
In the DS remake, it's much worse. The implication is that Golbez wasn't brainwashed, and that it was the darkness in his own heart that led to him being controlled. The remake makes a much bigger deal out of his Reformed, But Rejected status after the spell is broken.
Mass Effect has most of the decoy Big Bad throughout both games, via varying forms of Mind Control and Mind Rape. Matriarch Benezia, the Collector General (the whole Collector race), Shiala, even Saren gets a few sympathetic moments, despite being established as a Knight Templar long before Sovereign got his tentacles into him. The Collector General especially gets quite a few fan-tears shed over its death.
Harbinger of all people is one; the Extended Cut reveals that the Catalyst destroyed its creators and used their genetic material to create him...meaning he's the last of that first race, and is stuck serving the guy who destroyed them forever.
Yuriko Omega, born Yuriko Matsui, was kidnapped by Mad Scientist Shinji Shimada and transformed into a Tetsuo-like psionic monster with no feeling of empathy toward anyone else, particularly because she was bullied by her schoolmates due to her natural psionic ability that caused her tragic fate. She even went through hell to find and save her sister, who turned out to just want to be at the top of the world, just like other people, including the Allies. After doing what has to be done, Yuriko still remained a lonely, unloved girl, vilified continuously by the news media of the major global powers (all Allies, the Soviet Uion, and Japan).
All four main antagonists in the Fatal Frame series. All of them were nice people when they were alive, it's only when they died and were corrupted by their respective gates to Hell that they started killing everyone.
In Infamous, Kessler, reveals to be Cole from the future who have turned Empire City into hell just so that he could turn his past self into the savior of the world from The Beast.
Thanks to the events of Birth by Sleep, Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts, of all people, was given shades of this. His original persona, Xehanort, happens to be the end result of Terra being body snatched by Master Xehanort and then both of them being subsequently locked out of this new being's heart, leaving the man with only about a year's worth of memories. Then he loses himself to darkness yet again, with his leftover body and soul (Xemnas) having nearly no memories whatsoever to draw upon and suffering from Wistful Amnesia about the friends he can't entirely remember (Aqua and Ventus), much to his frustration and chagrin. Xemnas might share a lot of traits in common with Master Xehanort, but the small flickers of Terra's personality within him and the life of the mind-wiped Xehanort himself make him seem almost pitiable. When Sora asks Xemnas if he can remember all of the feelings in a heart besides anger, rage, and hate and Xemnas replies with an almost sorrowful "Unfortunately... I don't," he's not lying. That line becomes even worse when you remember that it was Terra's own hatred of Xehanort that essentially led to him becoming Xehanort.
All the Nobodies and members of Organization XIII qualify, as they didn't ask for their non-existence and lack of hearts, but are forced to live with them nonetheless.
In Iji, the final boss of the game, General Tor, is the leader of the fleet invading earth to eradicate the last of the Tasen. However, he only does this because he's a Slave to PR. There were many generals including Tor himself that wanted to end the war without committing genocide, but the rest of the Komato insisted on doing so because they hated the Tasen and wanted them dead. He gives in to finally attacking the remaining Tasen, and is about to completely destroy the Earth to make sure no Tasen are left alive, at least until the protagonist arrives to prevent Tor from doing so. Once he's defeated, he sees the error of his ways, calls off the attack, and saves whatever life is left on Earth in the process. Unfortunately, the guilt of killing so many people in the past weighs heavily on him, and he kills himself so he doesn't have to live with it anymore.
Kotomine, the Big Bad of Fate/stay night. He was born with a mental defect that made it so that the only thing he could find enjoyment in was the suffering of other people. However, he still had a conscience, and every time he enjoyed someone suffering, he recognized that it was wrong. Disgusted with himself, he tried out a number of different vocations in the hopes that he would be able to enjoy one without bringing harm to others— he even married an Ill Girl, whom bore him a child. But when she killed herself to try and prove that he could feel emotions, he realized that he would have been more satisfied if he had killed her himself. He gave up at that point, setting the plot of the game in motion.
Also Archer in the Unlimited Blade Works route, who fought so hard to be a hero and save people, only to break under the realization that he couldn't actually accomplish anything, leading to his desire to kill his past self before he can pursue that path.
The Transcendent One from Planescape: Torment. All he wants is to live and preferably to never again meet the main hero, whose very presence reminds him of the times when he was a part of the hero's soul rather than an individual sentient being, and he cannot stand it. Unfortunately, the hero's quest to regain his memory and mortality means that confrontation is imminent.
Super Paper Mario: Count Bleck. His motives were entirely the result of grief over the supposed death of his girlfriend, Timpani.
Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2. All his actions were evil because, for years, no one bought him.
Lots-o-Huggin' Bear from Toy Story 3 as well. He became heartless and completely vile because he was abandoned (not intentionally) and was replaced. Unlike Stinky Pete, Lotso never sought redemption.
For some, Plankton from Sponge Bob Square Pants could be seen like this. It is known that as a child, he was bullied and his only friend was Mr. Krabs. Now he is evil and despises society, not only because of this, but also for a dispute with Mr. Krabs for poisoning the old man Jenkins.
Squidward is an interesting case. While he's not an straight villain, it is believed that much of his evil and cruel acts are due to being an unsuccessful guy with bad luck, and having to live and work with SpongeBob, which makes life miserable especially in later seasons.
Roger Smith from American Dad!. It is implied that he is so evil because his species releases a bile that kills them if they don't "let their bitchiness out". Made worse when it is revealed the reason he is trapped on Earth is that the others of his species wanted to get rid of him.
Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2. His plan to conquer all of China is essentially an attempt to get over his Parental Abandonment issues and find happiness. He himself even admits that it probably won't be enough.
Avatar The Last Airbender: Prince Zuko. The snarling, angry, ruthless teenager turns out to be a “Well Done Son” Guy who just wants to return home and be loved by his father. Who mutilated him and then exiled him from the kingdom on a lifelong Snipe Hunt over his speaking out against a plan to use a squad of raw recruits as cannon fodder to bait a trap for an enemy regiment. His sister Azula too, in a different and arguably MORE tragic sense. While she seems to blatantly be a Manipulative Bastard and The Sociopath (our first sighting of her is of her smiling with joy as her brother gets his face burnt), it eventually turns out that her viciousness and cruelty were encouraged by her father, but her Daddy's Little Villain training alienated her from her mother and she has no idea how to interact with others without fear and manipulation.
From The Legend of Korra, both Tarrlok and Amon/Noatak. The sons of the very evil Yakone who trained them to bloodbend seeing them as nothing more than possible tools of vengeance against the Avatar and Republic City. Yakone's abuse of both him and his brother caused Noatak to run away and conclude that bending was the ultimate evil, becoming a self-loathing Knight Templar and taking on the identity of Amon. Tarrlok eventually becomes a ruthless politician in Republic City and only at the end does he realize that he's become the very tool of vengeance that his father wanted him to be, just as Amon also did, having torn Republic City apart socially and politically. With this realization he decides to end both his life and Amon's in a Murder Suicide.
Demona from Gargoyles. She seems to be aware, on some level, of her evil, but can't stop doing it or even consciously admit it to herself because that would require her to admit that much of the suffering she's experienced over her millenium-long life was her own fault. So, instead, she's the ultimate Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, lashing out at the world around her in the hope that, if she kills enough humans (and anyone else who gets in her way), it'll be enough to make the hurting stop. She's definitely a villain who needs to go down, but you can't help but feel sorry for her, all the same.
The Ice King from Adventure Time assumes this role when it is revealed in a Wham Episode that he used to be a normal human with a fiancé, whom he called his "princess". His Artifact of Doom ice crown made him go insane and made his fiancé leave him when he just tried it on for a laugh, and turned him into a hermit that constantly kidnapped princesses, subconsciously trying to get Betty back.
Lemongrab embodies many evil qualities: he's overly-controlling, harsh, often mean and cruel, unsympathetic to anyone... But his excuse is that he's a) a failed experiment with mental problems, and b) only about one year old.
Several established Batman villains are portrayed this way in Batman The Animated Series, as people whose lives have been consumed with a desire for revenge on the people who caused their problems. Mr. Freeze is probably the best example.
Freeze: Think of it, Batman: To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh, yes. I'd kill for that.
One-shot villain Lock-Up may not be the best person on Earth (he's cruel to inmates under his charge as the warden of Arkham Asylum) but considering he's right that the legal system in Gotham encourages Batman's rogues gallery to keep coming back, putting everyday people at risk, he goes over the deep end into villainy himself because he's fired for being too tough. While cruelty isn't good by any standards, the fact that he was working with people like the Joker and Scarecrow means he was effectively canned for not being nice enough to serial killers and professional terrorists.
Lord Garmadon from Lego's Ninjago. Bitten by the Great Devourer and infected with his evil, he cannot fight that side of him. He struggles to be a good father to his son Lloyd and lets him make his own choices and follow his own destiny, even if it means that the two are destined to battle in the future.
Meg Griffin from Family Guy is an odd example. In several episodes where he shows his dangerous and psychopathic behavior, she's always Temporarily A Villain, but it is obvious that all this is due to the cruel treatment that everyone has towards her, especially Peter, Lois and Connie.
Eric Cartman from South Park probably could count as this. It is implied that the cruel treatment of his schoolmates for being fat and his Butt Monkey status in previous seasons (abducted by aliens and being teased by Scott Tenorman) made him the sociopath we know today.

Private sponsorship can offer organizations, companies, and philanthropies the opportunity to support the resettlement of refugees. With additional resources and volunteer capacity, countries can both resettle additional refugees and improve the resettlement and integration process that a refugee experiences on arrival. Moreover, communities in which refugees are resettled benefit from more direct involvement in welcoming their new neighbors.
In addition to helping clients navigate private sponsorship pathways to other countries through our legal casework, IRAP’s Policy Department is working with partner organizations to explore how private sponsorship could be piloted in the United States. IRAP has published several papers on private sponsorship: one on private sponsorship in the United States, another on models on private sponsorship globally, and most recently a paper outlining recommendations for an expanded community sponsorship program for refugees in the United States.
Bader* is a transgender Jordanian man who faced years of persecution and discrimination because of his gender identity. He fled to Lebanon to register as a refugee with UNHCR in hopes of finding safety. However, as a transgender man living in Beirut with an ID that did not match his gender expression, Bader was highly vulnerable with an urgent need for resettlement to a safe, third country. Yet, because he had not been displaced from Syria or Iraq, Bader’s case was not considered high priority and UNHCR warned him that his chances of being resettled were low. Faced with this life-threatening obstacle, IRAP helped to secure safe housing for Bader in Beirut while his legal team worked to pursue an alternative pathway to resettlement. With IRAP ’s help, and after two long years in limbo, Bader was finally resettled through a private sponsorship program in Canada, where he is now able to live freely and without fear.

A Little History of British Gardening
by Jenny Uglow
Chatto & Windus £15.99, pp342
If gardening is the slowest of the performing arts, then Jenny Uglow's dazzling new A Little History of British Gardening, provides the perfect programme for keeping track of the drama - the political plots and sprawling personal subplots that make up this, our most unruly of pastimes.
What is so wonderful about Uglow's work is the exhilaration of being brought, butterfly-like, from one wide expanse to another, from the rigid geometry of the Stuart court to the boundlessness of 'Capability' Brown, before being brought down gently to rest in the intimate interior of a Georgian grotto, the opulence of an ornithon, or the elegance of a rococo gazebo.
Uglow opens by asking: 'Did the Romans have rakes?' 'Yes,' we're told, and much else besides; to them we owe thanks for our lilies and vines, crocuses, chestnuts and a host of herbs and non-indigenous vegetables. From there, lively and incisive sections slope us through eras of uninspired Anglo-Saxons and innovative Normans until the vogue of gardening 'for pleasure' starts in earnest in the 12th century.
While the turbulent transformation of taste from age to age is what drives the book forward, much of the interest rests in the delightful details, especially the accomplishments of amateur gardeners. Uglow tells of the disgraced former chancellor John Aislabie, who, after being released from the Tower in 1721 (following his involvement in the South Sea Bubble), created one of the most celebrated sites of the early 18th century. His estate at Studley Royal in Yorkshire was said to be studded with other-worldly 'moon ponds' - planes of water set against curtains of trees, whose delicately conceived design directed the eye past a classical temple to the prospect of Fountains Abbey decaying in the distance.
And then there are those grottoes - that weird way of making an inside out of the outside. Their alternative neglect and rediscovery provides a recurrent theme throughout British garden history. John Worlidge's instructions for building one, entitled Systema Horticulturae, published in 1677, advises elaborate vaulting with brick for 'coolness in the summer', the creation of secret rooms and hidden passages, and of course waterworks for your own and your friends' amusement. We're introduced to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a friend of Alexander Pope, who became a 'grotto addict'. Her obsession with seashells collided with her love of grottoes in her late seventies to produce some truly spectacular retreats in Buckinghamshire.
Above all, gardening has been a vehicle for inventiveness, and Uglow informs us about curious contraptions. In 1831, an engineer in a textile factory, Edward Budding, fixed small wheels and goose-neck handles to a cloth-shearing machine to create the first lawnmower.
Uglow's encyclopaedic, yet never irksome nor intimidating, allusions to well-known paintings and poems for illustration of otherwise long-lost landscapes brings the book alive. Indeed it is astonishing to discover how often the border between actual physical gardens and literary landscapes of the mind has been blurred. There's the story of Henry Hoare, a banker, who devoted three decades of his family's handsome fortune to sowing allusions to the Aeneid throughout his garden.
This is a beautiful book filled with lovely illustrations. If one has to pick something to be bothered about, it is perhaps the artificial division into four arbitrarily entitled sections: 'Seed', 'Leaf', 'Flower', and 'Fruit', as if there were an inevitability about the evolution of taste. (What's next, 'Rot'?)
Uglow lovingly unravels the unpredictable organicism of garden style - the accidents and serendipities that make her subject so thrilling.

The rest of the book looks at specific pests and considers their life cycles, emergence, reproduction, management strategies, and control. Where available, tables of economic thresholds are included. This is an excellent reference for assessing potential alternatives to chemical pesticides for a large number of pests.

Take-all can severely lower wheat yields. One possible control is through the use of antagonistic Pseudomonad bacteria applied to wheat seed. Disease surveys in the region verified increased disease problems with grain intensive rotations and with reduced till or no-till farming. Overall, an estimate 600,000 acres are affected by take-all in the region. Estimates of the cost of a commercial bacterial seed treatment were $14.30/ac applied. Wheat yields were assumed to increase an average of 5-10% from this. At a wheat price of $3.00/bu, a minimum 5 bu/ac increase is needed to break even on the treatment.

This month marks 75 years since Action Comics #1 landed on the newsstand. In that issue Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel introduced the world to one of the most important women in comics - Lois Lane (Superman made his debut in that issue, too). To mark this anniversary I’m chatting with some of her creators to get their thoughts on the character and her place in comic history.You can see the previous pieces here. Today I am chatting with Kelly Sue DeConnick. While she is now writing Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble for Marvel she once wrote an arc for Supergirl for DC Comics. During Emerald City Con she talked about how she took it as an opportunity to also write Lois. DeConnick also told me that Lois Lane is the only comic related thing she’s every collected and years ago she put out a ‘zine with a hostess called “Lois Slain” a la the Cryptkeeper.
So Kelly Sue, someone asks you “Who Lois Lane?” what do you say?“Superman’s Girlfriend,” would probably be the first thing out of my mouth because of the title of the comic, but she’s so much more than that, isn’t she?

So brew a cup and read it while you sip.

THE Australian cattle market’s record-breaking run reached a historic milestone today with the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator passing through 700c/kg carcase weight for the first time.
After major store sales at Roma and elsewhere earlier today, the National Livestock Reporting Service calculated today’s figure at 709c/kg, up another 10.25c on yesterday, +53.5c on a week ago, and 143c/kg higher than this time last year.
The EYCI is the general benchmark of Australian cattle prices and is a seven-day rolling average. Eligible cattle recorded for the calculation are C2 and C3 vealer and yearling steers and heifers sold in Eastern Seaboard saleyards.
The meteoric rise has seen just seven months pass since the EYCI hit 600¢/kg on 13 January this year, and just over 14 months since it surpassed 500¢/kg on 17 June, 2015.
Meat & Livestock Australia’s manager of market information, Ben Thomas, said widespread rain across the eastern states, combined with the national cattle herd sitting at a 20-year low, had pushed the EYCI into previously unchartered territory.
“As outlined in the recently released MLA July cattle industry projections, restockers have been the driving force behind the EYCI bolting through the 600s during June and July,” Mr Thomas said.
“Restockers accounted for 41 percent of EYCI-eligible purchases in July, up from 34pc in the same month last year.
At the same time, lot feeders have held their own, consistently accounting for 44pc of EYCI cattle bought for the past four months.
Processors usually account for 29pc of the July EYCI purchases (five-year average), but during July 2016, they collectively only bought 15pc.
“This is the lowest proportion of processor EYCI acquisitions in over six years and truly highlights where the cattle market strength is being generated,” Mr Thomas said.
EYCI cattle had averaged more than 700¢/kg at numerous selling centres over the past week including at Wagga Wagga, CTLX Carcoar, Gunnedah, Scone, Singleton, Dubbo and Roma store sale.
Looking forward, Mr Thomas said the biggest factor influencing where the EYCI will eventually peak is the depth of restocker pockets.
“Three things typically happen to the EYCI from August to November – prices ease, restockers take a step back and processors purchase fewer EYCI cattle at the end of spring compared to the end of winter,” he said.
“Whether or not these trends occur in 2016 remains to be seen, but if the average price decline were to be repeated, the EYCI would remain in the mid-600¢/kg cwt territory.”
“The trend least likely to occur, for the first time, is processors taking any further steps back in the number of EYCI cattle purchased – especially considering the very low proportion of acquisitions they are currently making.”

Members of the Czech national tennis team celebrate after they won the Davis Cup Finals in Belgrade, Serbia, Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013. The Czech Republic has defeated Serbia at the 2013 Davis Cup Finals with the overall score of 3-2. (Photo: AP)
The Czech Republic won their second successive Davis Cup title after Radek Stepanek beat Dusan Lajovic 6-3 6-1 6-1 to give them a 3-2 victory against the 2010 champions Serbia on Sunday.
Serbia's world number two Novak Djokovic levelled the tie earlier in the day with a straight-sets win over Tomas Berdych, but the passionate home fans were silenced by a cool performance from Stepanek who gave the 117th-ranked Lajovic no chance in the decisive rubber.
Lajovic had 17,000 noisy Serbian fans on their feet when he broke Stepanek in the opening game but it turned out to be the high point of the match for the 23-year-old, as his more experienced opponent highlighted the gulf in class between the two players.
Stepanek combined his baseline and volleying skills to good effect and was mobbed by his team mates when he sealed victory after one hour and 52 minutes.

Introduction: Thanksgiving Serving Dish
Ever grow tired of breaking out the same old serving dishes every year? Want to spice up your Thanksgiving dinner by putting some of your style on the table? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this is for you.
Some people like to have lit candles while enjoying the various (and at times identical) dishes of food that litter the table. Well, I decided to combine both the light and the serving dishes together and came up with this.
Warning:Sharp objects are used in this instructable. Please be careful while carving. Soldering irons will also burn while they are hot
1. Pumpkin (or Acorn Squash, which is better for the Thanksgiving spirit)
2. Small light bulbs (or LED's, which I didn't have)
3. 9v Battery
4. Push button switch (on/off switch)
6. Goop (something to "waterproof" the lights)
7. Food Container
9. Thanksgiving Design (picture on paper)
1. Large Knife
2. Carving kit (or small knives)
3. Solder and soldering iron
Step 1: Hollow and Design
First objective is to "gut" the pumpkin. To do this, we must first cut off the cover. Angle the large knife at approx. 45 degrees inwards, cut a circle out that will be large enough for your food container to fit through. Pull the cover out and remove the pulp from the underside using the knife. Next using a combination of the large knife, a spoon, and your hands, clean the inside of the pumpkin out. Try to get as much of the pulp and seeds out as possible.
Now that you've cleaned the pumpkin out, you can figure out where you want to place your design(s) that you've chosen or made. Once you find that special spot, tape the design to the pumpkin. Using the carving knives, outline the design into the pumpkin. Start from the center and work your way out (my outline looks better then the finished product :P ).
Step 2: Carve That Pumpkin (or Acorn Squash)...
Here's the fun part (espcially if your carving skills are like mine ;) ). Use your carving knives to carve away only the outside layers of the pumpkin. This will create a glow from within. Just follow your outline and carefully peel the layers off. If you want to make sure that light can make it through, just put a small candle or light inside. Once you've completed your scene, you can decide whether or not to carve into the pumpkin what kind of food is inside. If you decide to carve the name of the food into the pumpkin, I suggest doing it on the opposite side from the scene. This while help identify what kind of food the pumpkin is holding.
Step 3: Add the Lights, Container, and Food...
Next make up a circuit of the lights that you have chosen. If you decide to go with LED's, you will need at least 10-15 of them to light up the serving dish (that's using small pumpkins) . Either way, just hook them all up together, test them, solder the wires, and use goop (any substance to waterproof the lights) on the exposed wires and metal.
Now place the lights inside the serving dish. Keep them to the sides and postion them so they won't get in the way of the food container (make a circle). Place the battery and the switch inside the pumpkin. If you want, you can carve a little notch out near the cover and position the switch up there for easy access. Place the food container inside the pumpkin.
Now all you have to do is cook the food and place it inside the serving dish. Click the light switch on, and pass the dish around the table...
Note: You can also carve a hole in the cover so that you can rest a serving spoon inside.
Hope you've enjoyed this instructable...Improvement ideas welcomed.

Vinyl gloves product information
Vinyl, also called polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is a glove material made by polymerisation with the addition of plasticisers. The material is suitable for those allergic to latex because it contains no protein. However, the plasticisers are often fat-soluble and so their use in the food sector is limited. The gloves are suitable for cleaning purposes and contact with non-fatty foods. The material is not very elastic and is not tight to the skin.
Vinyl is the cheapest glove material. As a protective glove, vinyl should only be used in less exposed areas (low risk factor). All PAPSTAR vinyl gloves are thiuram free and manufactured without the harmful DEHP plasticiser. They are medical quality and have an AQL of 1.5. The rolled band on the cuff ensures a clean finish and prevents liquid drip off.

This article was originally published on the In My Shoes blog, and subsequently at Guerilla Policy.
It took Hitler’s Luftwaffe to provoke the last great exodus of people from London. First went the children, evacuated en masse to the care of strangers in the countryside, and then after the war whole families were relocated from the rubble of the Blitz to the post-modern New Towns of Britain’s brave new world.
Fast-forward seventy years, and a new displacement is underway. But in 2014, people are being driven from their homes and communities not by bombs from the air but by the process of gentrification and the callous indifference of London’s housing market.
Today’s high-profile case is that of the New Era housing estate in Hoxton, which houses over 90 families at below-market rate rents. Earlier this year, the estate was bought by American property management company Westbrook Partners, who announced their intention to serve notice to the tenants, refurbish the flats and let them at market prices.
The Guardian contrasts the philanthropic spirit that conceived the New Era estate with the vulture capitalism that now threatens to tear it down:
[The estate was] built by a charitable trust in the 1930s in order to offer working-class residents affordable private rented accommodation. Even when the blocks were sold this spring, residents say they were assured that the old tenets would apply. Within weeks, new owners told them that rents would rise to market values: spiralling from £600 a month for a two-bed flat to something closer to £2,400. That was meant to happen by summer 2016. After [Conservative MP Richard] Benyon’s firm pulled out of the deal last week, residents were told that Westbrook would accelerate the process.
Back in August I was on London Live TV alongside politics.co.uk editor Ian Dunt, debating the contentious issue of gentrification, and whether it is something to be welcomed or a shameful exercise in social cleansing. Never one to duck a challenge, I argued in cautious defence of the principle of gentrification and the seemingly interminable dereliction-hipsterisation-bankertown cycle, and said that the benefits of gentrification would outweigh the costs – if only Britain would start building new housing supply at the rate and volume we need.
Three months later and I stand by my argument. But as successive governments have failed to stand by their pledges to tackle the housing crisis, gentrification rightly remains a hot-button issue; we should all be concerned that increasing numbers of people are not just being priced out of their neighbourhoods into slightly cheaper adjacent areas, but are having to contemplate moving half way across the country, far from families and support networks, in order to be able to afford to keep a roof over their heads.
This blog has always been an enthusiastic proponent of free markets and maximal personal freedom, and will continue to fight that corner. But when housing supply is artificially restricted through NIMBYism, political cowardice and simple bureaucratic ineptitude, interventions in the market become not only plausible but even desirable. Since the government is in effect already picking winners – choosing to bless existing homeowners with rapidly increasing house prices at the expense of those trying to get on the property ladder or live anywhere in the south east of England – any possible reticence about siding firmly with the underprivileged, the vulnerable and the low paid goes out the window.

Hardships of the Early Settlers—Champagne Cases as Flooring Boards—Dissipation of the Public Territory—"Eyes" of the Country picked out—Australind—The Convict Influx saves the Colony—Lethargy of the Colonists—The Early Governors—The Crown Colony Régime—Give Downing Street its Due—A Country without a Pauper—Fifty-four Thousand People too few—Colonisation Schemes and Land Grant Railways.
The colonists who landed on 1st June, 1829, did so with very little conception of the hardships which lay before them. They and their immediate successors were of a superior class socially to the majority of the immigrants who have formed the staple of the influx into the other colonies. They brought with them champagne in cases, which had ultimately to be used as flooring boards for their primitive dwellings, and carriages, in which, instead of driving, they had to sleep during the first weeks of their novel and disillusionising experience. Sir James Stirling, who commanded on the China station during the Crimean War, and who became a Lord of the Admiralty, had after his expedition in 1826 described the country in the neighbourhood of the Swan River as a land flowing with milk and honey, and evidenced his own bona fides by inducing a number of personal friends to avail themselves of the liberal land grants given by the Imperial Government in exchange for the introduction of capital and labour into the infant colony. He himself accepted land in lieu of salary—though he afterwards got both land and salary—and large allotments were given for every immigrant introduced by the early settlers. The latter were also subsidised in the same way for all property which they brought with them, and as the "property" was assessed at a very high rate and the land at a very low figure, vast tracts of virgin country were alienated to a few persons before the colony got a fair start. It is needless to say that the first settlers did not

The show begins with a group of teenagers on a bus to what we assume is a field trip. As they start waking up from their naps, the students see that it is night, the bus driver has disappeared, and the bus is back at the school. Leaving the bus, the students find themselves alone in their town with no people other than their fellow classmates. Student, Cassandra Pressman, is the first to step up to brainstorm a reason as to why they might be alone. She comes to the resolution that they are in a replica of their town in some alternate universe.
The large ensemble of characters in the show offers multiple viewpoints, but the main protagonist is Allie Pressman, who takes initiative when tragedy strikes her older sister, Cassandra. Many of the teens don’t like the idea of taking orders from one person, so they rebel, a division which leads to more harm for the group. Allie navigates her way through being a leader and remaining liked.
The teenagers have a hard time navigating through teenage pregnancy, death, disability, sexuality, murder, and abusive relationships. This adversity causes tension amongst the group and only leads to more difficulties.
“The Society” gives off “Lord of the Flies” vibes in the way that the teenagers try to survive and thrive without any adult supervision. They had to grow up way too fast, much like how the boys in Golding’s book did. They begin to turn against each other and the situation turns dangerous for everyone involved.
The show ends with so many questions unanswered. Sadly, Netflix did not renew the show for a second season, so fans are left wondering: what happens next?


When I first heard the voices of Steven Appleby and Faye O’Rourke, two of the five (and the most vocal) members of Little Green Cars, I thought Appleby reminded me of the disarming Riley Briggs from the Scottish band Aberfeldy, a twee-pop band from half a decade ago that I enjoyed while I connected O’Rourke with the bombast of British singer Florence Welch, though she doesn’t demonstrate as much power. Unlike those bands, Little Green Cars are from Ireland and come across more folksy with touches of Americana, utilizing all the members’ voices to provide eager charming five-part harmonies that makes creating music sound easy. The band is currently touring on the back of their debut, Absolute Zero (produced by Markus Dravs who has worked with Mumford & Sons and Arcade Fire) and had arrived in NYC (from Lollapalooza) to perform live-streamed for MTV’s Artist to Watch series. In the tiny Studio at Webster Hall, the audience packed in near the stage, sweaty and eager to watch one of the new “it” bands.
This album became part of my regular rotation for its near-consistent excellency (the sole misstep is “Red and Blue”) since I first heard it in May, so I was looking forward to seeing Little Green Cars’ show. The only disappointment was its brevity, made especially more evident because of my late arrival. But as I watched the band draw from their debut, I didn’t mind, knowing the band will be back around next month. The highlights included, “The John Wayne”, which had many in the audience singing along and the powerful “My Love Took Me Down to the River” belted out by O’Rourke. For their encore, Little Green Cars performed the quiet “The Consequence of Not Sleeping”, bringing themselves off the stage to stand clutched tight in the midst of the audience. From the many camera phones raised up capturing the scene, you could sense that the moment was particularly dear to the audience. It was a short but sweet set but with their beguiling album receiving the recognition of MTV, we should expect to see more of Little Green Cars, and hopefully an (eventual) equally exciting follow up.
The livestream is over, but MTV is expected to put up clips of Little Green Cars’ performance online. Visit this page to find out when they become available for viewing.

Records which Virat Kohli can script in 2019 World Cup
Team India captain Virat Kohli is expected to deliver the goods, for Men In Blue, in the World Cup 2019. The number one batsman in the world has been dominating the bowlers in both ODI and Tests since a while now. Kohli, who is set to feature in his third World Cup, can script several records this term. We list a few of them.
Kohli can break Tendulkar's 16-year-old record
Kohli breaking Sachin Tendulkar's records has become the order of the day. In the past couple of years, he has eclipsed several feats of the Little Master. Tendulkar holds the record for the most runs in a single edition of the tournament (673). He had achieved the feat in 2003. Give his run-scoring ability, Kohli would look to surpass this tally in this edition.
Kohli can eclipse several legends
Kohli has played 17 World Cup matches so far. He has scored 587 runs in these matches. He needs 413 runs more to get to the 1,000-run mark and become only the third Indian after Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly to achieve the feat. Kohli also has two World Cup hundreds to his name. He needs to amass five tons to surpass record-holder Tendulkar (6).
Kohli can also surpass Kumble
Kohli is a superb fielder and hardly drops catches. He has taken eight catches so far. He needs another seven more to become the all-time leader in terms of catches taken by an Indian fielder in the World Cup. Anil Kumble (14) leads the show.
Kohli could define 2019 World Cup
Kohli can have a defining campaign in the 2019 World Cup. He has what it takes to shine with the bat. His average of 59.57 tells us the story of his dominance. With 10,843 runs under his belt, Kohli could win India the World Cup this time in England and Wales. With the pitches expected to assist batting, this could well be Kohli's tournament.

York and Sheffield, United Kingdom. 14 May 2009.
Pro-Cure Therapeutics Limited ('Pro-Cure') and Adjuvantix Limited announced today that they have entered into a research and development collaboration targeted at the development of a stem cell vaccine for the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer.
There is strong evidence that cancer stem cells (CSCs) initiate cancers as well as leading to cancer spread and to recurrence after treatments. Pro-Cure, a cancer stem cell specialist, has successfully identified important new CSC derived targets that it believes will provide the foundation for the development of more effective cancer treatments.
The collaboration will bring together Pro-Cure's proprietary CSC targets and expertise in prostate cancer with Adjuvantix's expertise in vaccine discovery and development. Adjuvantix's potent new vaccine adjuvant technology, ADX40, which will be used in this vaccine can also be used to elicit immune responses in many different disease areas, as well as oncology.
Dr Mick McLean, CEO for Pro-Cure, said 'We believe this is the first program aimed at developing a vaccine against cancer stem cells, and we're delighted to enter this early stage collaboration with Adjuvantix. Whilst we're still some way from having a product that can be tested in man, we believe that the combination of the expertise of the two companies creates the best possible opportunity for realizing Pro-Cure's goal of improved prostate cancer therapeutics.'
Dr Paul Jenkins, CEO for Adjuvantix, commented 'Our alliance brings together two companies with complementary world- class research expertise. Recent positive Phase 3 results with an autologous cell-based vaccine in prostate cancer validates vaccination
as a viable treatment approach and makes the development of an off-the-shelf vaccine a highly attractive proposition. Adjuvantix is committed to using its ADX40 to develop vaccines against cancer and infectious diseases and the collaboration with Pro-Cure is one of the first of a series of such alliances.'
Dr David Milroy of the White Rose Technology Seedcorn Fund which supports both Pro-Cure and Adjuvantix said: 'Our role is to invest in and support exciting new technology emerging from the Universities of York, Leeds and Sheffield to enable the transition from promising research work to commercial reality. Adjuvantix and Pro-Cure have complementary technology and know-how and we are delighted that they are collaborating to pave the way for a prostate cancer vaccine.'


text: In this paper, we present a new method for the feed model for the method of moments (MoM). It is derived from a more accurate model with the realistic size of the excitation, in order to replace the commonly-used delta-gap excitation model. This new model is formulated around the electric field integration equations (EFIE) where the terms for magnetic current and magnetic field can be removed. Hence it is much simpler to implement and reduces the numerical complexity. In addition, a variational formulation is derived to provide second order accuracy of the input admittance calculation. Moreover, this new formulation can be easily extended such that one can insert passive load elements of finite size onto the distributive network, without complicated modification of the MoM analysis. This allows simulation of many realistic networks which include load elements such as resistors, capacitors and inductors.
