Women's History Month: An Essential Intersectional Reading List
In honor of Women’s History Month, we’ve put together a selection of our favorite books by womxn identified authors. We hope you’ll both find some new titles to add to your collection, in addition to sharing this list with folks looking to broaden their exposure to intersectional literature.
So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy--from police brutality to the mass incarceration of African Americans--have made it impossible to ignore the issue of race. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair--and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?
In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.
How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
The Combahee River Collective, a path-breaking group of radical black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women’s liberation movements of the 1960s and 70s. In this book, founding members of the organization and contemporary activists reflect on the legacy of its contributions to Black feminism and its impact on today’s struggles.
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.
This Bridge Called My Back by Cherríe Moraga & Gloria Anzaldúa
Originally released in 1981, This Bridge Called My Back is a testimony to women of color feminism as it emerged in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Through personal essays, criticism, interviews, testimonials, poetry, and visual art, the collection explores, as coeditor Cherríe Moraga writes, “the complex confluence of identities―race, class, gender, and sexuality―systemic to women of color oppression and liberation.”
You Don't Have to Like Me by Alida Nugent
“Feminist” is not a four-letter word, but Alida Nugent resisted it for a long time. She feared the “scarlet F” being thrust upon her for refusing to laugh at misogynistic jokes at parties; she withered under the judgmental gaze of store clerks when buying Plan B, and she swore that she was “not like other girls.” But eventually, like so many of us, she discovered that feminism is an empowering identity to take on.
WHEREAS: Poems by Layli Long Soldier
This book confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations.
Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien
Master storyteller Madeleine Thien takes us inside an extended family in China, showing us the lives of two successive generations―those who lived through Mao’s Cultural Revolution and their children, who became the students protesting in Tiananmen Square. At the center of this epic story are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming. Through their relationship Marie strives to piece together the tale of her fractured family in present-day Vancouver, seeking answers in the fragile layers of their collective story.
How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez
In this debut novel, the García sisters—Carla, Sandra, Yolanda, and Sofía—and their family must flee their home in the Dominican Republic after their father’s role in an attempt to overthrow a tyrannical dictator is discovered. They arrive in New York City in 1960 to a life far removed from their existence in the Caribbean. In the wild and wondrous and not always welcoming U.S.A., their parents try to hold on to their old ways, but the girls try find new lives: by forgetting their Spanish, by straightening their hair and wearing fringed bell bottoms. For them, it is at once liberating and excruciating to be caught between the old world and the new. How the García Girls Lost Their Accents sets the sisters free to tell their most intimate stories about how they came to be at home—and not at home—in America.
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
Told in a series of vignettes – sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous – it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Few other books in our time have touched so many readers.
Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
Jojo is thirteen years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. He doesn’t lack in fathers to study, chief among them his Black grandfather, Pop. But there are other men who complicate his understanding: his absent White father, Michael, who is being released from prison; his absent White grandfather, Big Joseph, who won’t acknowledge his existence; and the memories of his dead uncle, Given, who died as a teenager.
America Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera
At last! Everyone's favorite no-nonsense powerhouse, America Chavez, gets her own series! Critically acclaimed young-adult novelist Gabby Rivera and all-star artist Joe Quinones unite to shine a solo spotlight on America's high-octane and hard-hitting adventures! She was a Young Avenger.

Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera
“Even if Holden Caulfield was born in the Bronx in the 1980s, he could never be this awesome.” Inga Muscio, author of Cunt Juliet Milagros Palante is leaving the Bronx and headed to Portland, Oregon. She just came out to her family and isn’t sure if her mom will ever speak to her again. But Juliet has a plan, sort of, one that’s going to help her figure out this whole “Puerto Rican lesbian” thing. She’s interning with the author of her favorite book: Harlowe Brisbane, the ultimate authority on feminism, women’s bodies, and other gay-sounding stuff. Will Juliet be able to figure out her life over the course of one magical summer? Is that even possible? Or is she running away from all the problems that seem too big to handle? With more questions than answers, Juliet takes on Portland, Harlowe, and most importantly, herself.
Kinder than Solitude by Yiyun Li
When Moran, Ruyu, and Boyang were young, they were involved in a mysterious incident in which a friend of theirs was poisoned. Grown up, the three friends are separated by distance and personal estrangement. Moran and Ruyu live in the United States, Boyang in China; all three are haunted by what really happened in their youth, and by doubt about themselves. In California, Ruyu helps a local woman care for her family and home, avoiding entanglements, as she has done all her life. In Wisconsin, Moran visits her ex-husband, whose kindness once overcame her flight into solitude. In Beijing, Boyang struggles to deal with an inability to love, and with the outcome of what happened among the three friends twenty years before.
Tracks by Louise Erdrich
Chronicles Native American life in the early twentieth century as cultures clash and men and women struggle to maintain their pride and heritage.
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.
Difficult Women by Roxane Gay
Difficult Women tells of hardscrabble lives, passionate loves, and quirky and vexed human connection. The women in these stories live lives of privilege and of poverty, are in marriages both loving and haunted by past crimes or emotional blackmail. A pair of sisters have been inseparable ever since they were abducted together as children, and, grown now, must negotiate the elder sister’s marriage. A woman married to a twin pretends not to realize when her husband and his brother impersonate each other. A stripper putting herself through college fends off the advances of an overzealous customer. A black engineer moves to Upper Michigan for a job and faces the malign curiosity of her colleagues and the difficulty of leaving her past behind. From a girls’ fight club to a wealthy subdivision in Florida where neighbors conform, compete, and spy on each other, Gay gives voice to a chorus of unforgettable women in a scintillating collection reminiscent of Merritt Tierce, Anne Enright, and Miranda July.
The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson
From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.
With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties.

AMBASSADOR SAYS HAITI IS READY FOR INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT (Canada.com) - By Lee Berthiaume
OTTAWA — Haiti has long been synonymous in the minds of many with hardship and tragedy, poverty and corruption, instability and death. The Caribbean nation’s history and recent events, particularly the devastating earthquake of January 2010, have done little to change that perception.
It’s a fact acknowledged by Haiti’s first ambassador to Canada in nearly six years, Frantz Liautaud, who says such views are outdated and have held back his country’s ability to wean itself off foreign aid.
“What we need to do is change our image and make sure people get the right image,” Liautaud said in an exclusive interview with Postmedia News Friday.
And in the Conservative government, where a “re-orientation” is expected to begin funnelling tens of millions of dollars in foreign aid to economic development, Haiti appears to have found a willing partner.
Last year, Haitians elected singer-turned-politician Michel Martelly as president. Martelly wasted no time making his government’s top priority the attraction of foreign investment, with the idea of tackling the country’s 40 per cent unemployment rate.
This has involved promoting the country’s coastline as a tourist destination, as well as the opportunities available in the agricultural sector, natural resources and others. Haiti’s embassies and diplomatic network are seen as instrumental in taking that message to the world.
“The Martelly government was clear from Day 1 that for Haiti to get back into the position it should have in the region and in the world, we have to increase investment in Haiti,” said Liautaud, a former businessman and recent president of the Haitian-Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
A few Canadian companies, such as engineering firm SNC-Lavalin, have operations in Haiti, but those are mainly related to contracts such as building infrastructure and do not actually result in investment.
Like counterparts around the world, Canadian companies remain worried about Haiti’s security, its lack of trained workers, its vulnerability to natural disasters, and the political instability that has long plagued the nation.
Liautaud acknowledged the concerns but insisted many are overstated — security, for example, has improved significantly in recent years, while the government is working arguably better than many remember. And for those who take a chance, he said, the opportunities are there.
“The first impression is it’s too risky,” Liautaud said. “But obviously the bigger the risk, the bigger the opportunity to get a good return on your investment.”
Reassuring words, however, can only go so far, which is why Haiti is hoping foreign aid donors such as Canada will help encourage companies to take a serious look at the Caribbean nation.
With the end of the combat mission in Afghanistan, Haiti has become Canada’s largest recipient of international assistance, receiving more than $100 million a year.
Much of that has been focused on providing emergency food supplies, health care and education for children, and support for the Caribbean nation’s weak government institutions. But Liautaud said he has received indications from Canadian officials more of that aid — much of which currently goes to international development groups like Care, World Vision and the Red Cross — will be tied to economic development.
“From the reading that I have (this) is exactly what the Canadian government is looking into. Making sure that whatever money is invested in Haiti is invested to create sustainable economic development.”
The Conservative government has made a point of prioritizing economic development when it comes to Canadian foreign assistance, seeing it as the best way for developing countries to become self-sufficient.
But the government has faced criticism for using aid to help Canadian mining companies, for example, and there are concerns that the focus on business is coming at the expense of support for fundamentals like food security, health care and education.
“There is no sustainable economic development without social peace,” Liautaud acknowledged. “So it’s a balancing act. But what Haitians as a whole need the most is to be put to work.”

By Abayomi Azikiwe – Dec 16, 2022
A $55 billion package from the United States cannot regain ground lost to China and Russia on the continent.
During the December 13-15 US-Africa Leaders Summit, the Biden administration sought to persuade leaders and officials from 49 African states that the United States wants an equal partnership with the continent.
This was the first of such meetings since 2014 when the administration of former President Barack Obama was in office.
The tenure of Obama’s successor, former President Donald Trump, was marked by open hostility toward Africa, the former president not having visited the continent once during his time in office. Nonetheless, the Biden administration has since made no substantial shifts in its policy toward the continent. In fact, President Joe Biden has sought to further utilize the 55 member-states of the African Union (AU) as an appendage in the renewed 21st century Cold War between NATO and the Russian Federation.
During the first day of the summit, the African governments expressed their favorable position toward a diplomatic resolution to the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. The continuing conflict over the last 10 months has resulted in the further aggravation of supply chain problems plaguing the global economy since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Obviously, the Biden administration wants to remain in dialogue with African heads-of-state despite the rapidly developing trade, political, and military relations between the AU member-states with the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation. However, regarding infrastructural and security questions, Beijing and Moscow are now much farther along the path to building long term relationships with the AU.
Biden promised to facilitate the investment of $55 billion into African economies while pledging to visit several countries on the continent in 2023. Some of the funds are designed to purportedly support the capacity of African governments to conduct democratic elections. Biden reportedly reflected on the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol building; the attacks were aimed at preventing the results of the November 2020 elections from being certified by the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Differences over key issues in US-Africa relations
The divergence of opinion between the African leaders and the White House over Ukraine policies was not the only point of disagreement at the summit. Some of the participants questioned the US’s commitment to the security of the continent.
On the second day of the summit, the Department of Defense under Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III hosted a session entitled the “Peace, Security, and Governance Forum.” Much of the discussion on the part of the Pentagon, the State Department, and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) attending the gathering represented a repackaging of the language already present in the briefing documents of the US Africa Command (AFRICOM).
Although the Pentagon has had a separate command for Africa established since 2008, insecurity in key geopolitical regions on the content is worsening. A series of military coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Conakry, and Chad, with an attempted seizure of power also taking place in Sao Tome in early December illustrate the failure of AFRICOM to carry out its stated mission. Criticisms among the people and those in government are growing over the role of AFRICOM and occupying French military forces.
Almost all of the coup agitators over the last decade in West Africa are graduates of Pentagon military training programs conducted both inside the US and on the African continent. Joint military operations between the Pentagon and various African military structures have become routine. These annual maneuvers and war games operations represent the degree to which imperialism has penetrated military forces on the continent.
Even though there are clear connections between the Pentagon and the military usurpation of power from civilian-led governments, those who have taken power in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea-Conakry were not invited to the White House. The State of Eritrea was also not present since the government in the Horn of Africa state is often on the receiving end of punitive measures by Washington. The presidents of key countries such as the Republic of South Africa and the Republic of Zimbabwe sent their foreign ministers as representatives to the summit.
Senegalese President Macky Sall, who is the current Chair of the AU, spoke on the differences over US legislative policy and sanctions against the Republic of Zimbabwe, criticizing pending US legislation that he said unfairly targeted Africa, an apparent reference to a measure titled “Countering Malign Russian Activities in Africa.” Lawmakers sponsoring the bill say the legislation is intended to prevent Moscow from using Africa to bypass US sanctions imposed after the invasion of Ukraine. Sall also raised concerns about years-long US sanctions against Zimbabwe for “corruption and human rights violations,” saying that it was time to lift the penalties so the nation could “fight against poverty and underdevelopment.” Earlier this week, the US Treasury Department announced is intention to target four Zimbabwean people, including the adult son of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, and two companies with new sanctions, accusing them of roles in “undermining democracy and facilitating high-level graft.”
Washington views Moscow and Beijing as strategic competitors
Undoubtedly, this summit at the White House was planned as a public relations campaign directed against China, Russia, and other international powers that have held multilateral meetings with the AU member-states. However, in material terms, the US has decreased its level of direct investment in Africa since the Obama administration.
US preoccupation with military interventions has dominated its foreign policy imperatives since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist countries in Eastern Europe. These destabilization campaigns, aerial bombings, proxy wars, and direct occupations have objectively weakened the political legitimacy of Washington in various geopolitical regions internationally.
Beijing over the last two decades through the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and other structures has become the largest trading partner with the AU member-states. The US Peace Information Center says of the contemporary situation:
“China is Africa’s largest two-way trading partner, hitting $254 billion in 2021, exceeding by a factor of four US-Africa trade. China is the largest provider of foreign direct investment, supporting hundreds of thousands of African jobs. This is roughly double the level of US foreign direct investment. While Chinese lending to African countries has dipped of late, China remains by far the largest lender to African countries. It is to be expected that China’s commercial activity in Africa would increase with the dramatic rise of its economy to become the second largest in the world, especially given China’s need for raw materials to support its very large manufacturing base. But this growth also represents a determined Chinese government-driven effort to make significant inroads in Africa.”
As it relates to Moscow, the historic relations between the Soviet Union and African independence movements and post-colonial governments marked a sharp departure from the neocolonial approach of the US. Both the Soviet Union and People’s Republic of China advanced a foreign policy which was supportive of liberation struggles, sovereignty, as well as non-capitalist development.
In recent years, the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin has established the Russia-Africa Summit, which was held in 2019 in Sochi. Another summit announced earlier in 2022 has not yet convened.
Russian trade with Africa is far less than China’s. However, overall, the volume of trade between the African continent and Russia has grown substantially in recent years. Agricultural products such as grain are frequently imported into Africa. Also, agricultural inputs like fertilizers are essential in local farming efforts.
The Statista.com website says: “The annual volume of trade between Russia and countries located on the African continent reached $14.5 billion in 2020, marking a decrease from the previous year. The revenue from Russian exports from and imports into the region more than doubled between 2013 and 2018. Russia’s leading trade partner on the continent was Egypt. The value of goods and services exchanged with Egypt accounted for roughly one third of the total trade volume between Russia and African countries.”
Russia-Africa trade relations are not the major concern of Washington in regard to the role of Moscow. More worrisome for the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon are the volumes of arms sales from Russia to the African continent. In addition, the presence of the Wagner Group, a military services company based in Russia, which has been contracted by Mali and the Central African Republic to assist with national security, has been a cause for concern. France has claimed to have withdrawn its armed forces from Mali due to criticism from the military government led by Colonel Assimi Goita along with the presence of the Wagner Group. Secretary of Defense Austin during the White House summit referred to the Wagner Group as “mercenaries,” yet did not acknowledge the destructive character of AFRICOM in Libya, Somalia, and other states where they are engaged in military surveillance and other offensive operations.
One source on Russian weapons transfers to Africa notes: “Russia’s arms sales to Africa have increased by a quarter over the last four years. In fact, Russia accounts for nearly half of major arms exports to Africa, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, with Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, and Angola as the biggest customers (all of which, except Egypt, abstained in the UN vote to condemn Russia). And all across Africa, Russia has military trainers on the ground who are supporting the sales of the popular Mi-17 and Mi-35 helicopters and other equipment, according to US intelligence reports.”
Moreover, the support for Russia on a grassroots level among the workers and youth has been revealed in mass demonstrations in Burkina Faso and Mali. These factors are often considered by African heads-of-state in their public comments and actions at the United Nations and other international forums.
US imperialism provides no other viable alternatives to Africa other than the pursuit of its non-aligned policy. Africa cannot be genuinely liberated and sovereign until the people defeat US influence on the continent and around the world.

Siddharth Malakar was also the inaugural 90 kg champion in the PPL’s first ranking tournament which took place at the Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi in 2020. He then took part in Pro Panja League Mega Matches-2 which took place onboard the Majestic Pride Casino Ship in Goa.
Sports India Show had an exclusive chat with Siddharth Malakar to talk about his preparation for the upcoming event.
1.) How excited are you for the upcoming Tournament?
“Yes I am very excited about the upcoming tournament, I have rested enough already. Now I have started my training for the upcoming Tournament and the moment it was announced I began my preparations. This time I am very excited.”
2.) How is your training going on?
“My training is going pretty well. Even when there were no matches, I was still training the same way and gave my best. The training is going very good.”
3.) Do you have specific diet plans to get into the weight you want to be?
“ In the off-season when we don’t play any matches, we do a lot of cardio and during that period we tend to lose weight while some arm-wrestlers look to gain weight, some of them try to lose weight. Soo during the off-period I lost a lot of weight as I also don’t eat any kind of junk food. I have also started doing a lot more strength training. Previously I was at 85 kgs now I am at 90 kgs.”
4.) what type of training are you doing?
“The kind of training Arm-wrestlers do are the exercises related to arm-wrestling. For me, I am doing arm-wrestlers-specific training only. I get 2 days of rest and 5 days of training. In those 5 days, I do 3 days of gyming activities and 2 days of Arm-wrestling specific exercises.”
5.) How has your experience been with PPL?
“My experience with PRO PANJA LEAGUE has been amazing. From the moment it was announced in 2019 and then it happened in 2020, from that time onwards I was really happy and Excited. The first time I played PPL, it feels like it was yesterday. I still feel like a pro player. PPL has changed the mindset of every arm-wrestler across the country and a lot of arm-wrestlers have come up and many people who didn’t know about the sport have shown their interest in arm-wrestling. So the Journey has been good and I am always excited to play for PPL.”

By Lal Khan
Nobody can predict when the so-called moderate clergy would morph into his terrorist version and vice-versa.
With almost a dozen terrorist attacks from Lahore to Sehwan and Peshawar to Balochistan this week, the terrorists have yet again struck Pakistan with a vengeance. Hundreds perished while many more have been maimed. The resurgence of this orgy of dreadful slaughter and mayhem by the forces of black reaction has shaken both the state and the society. The shock and grief for the already traumatised masses aggravated their suffering, being inflicted through class oppression. For the ruling elites, it was the usual response of condemnations and the impotent rage to eradicate terrorism. The tragedy would soon pass into oblivion while the nauseating routine of hurling corruption allegations, scandals and bickering of the ruling elite’s warring factions captures the media and the social psyche in this period of social inertia. The surge of terrorist acts is not due to changes in the military’s high command as depicted by some media analysts but is the manifestation of a deeper socio-economic malaise. The intrusion of religious fanaticism by General Zia at the behest of US imperialists to destroy the Afghanistan’s 1978 Saur Revolution has come back to haunt the imperialists and the Pakistani state. However, the official ideology indoctrinated in the state’s institutions, agencies and intrusions, in the constitutional clauses continues to be practised even today. The policies based on religious sectarian doctrines of Zia’s dictatorship have been pursued even by the ‘secular and liberal’ democratic regimes, leading to the disastrous ramifications that are ravaging Pakistan. These reactionary ethics are embedded in the attitudes of mainly the upper and middle rungs of the state’s institutions. There is a palpable reluctance in the sections of officials in taking any decisive action against these fundamentalist citadels indoctrinating hatred to the level of inculcating terrorist impulses in raw minds. These are run by obscenely rich Mullahs through the massive influx of black capital generated through crime and terror. The intrusion of dirty money in the structures of the state gives a material basis to this mindset and reactionary thinking. Nobody can predict when the so-called moderate clergy would morph into his terrorist version and vice-versa. For almost 40 years, the educational syllabi, and the society’s morality and ethics have been shackled into these bigoted fetters. It is this sectarian hatred that provokes acts of terror and mayhem. Serious sections of the state and the ruling elite now feel threatened by the catastrophic devastation being perpetrated by these once compliant elements. The top echelons of state desperately want to eliminate this menace but not so hidden hands within the executive structures always succeed only in attacking selected targets during the state’s operations. In the name of the national ideology of political Islam, the black mafia bosses heavily invest in the political parties, institutions and echelons of state power. They have eroded the discipline of the state structure and are now posing a threat to the civic existence of society. The desire for a substantial policy change by stakeholders of state and political power is a pipedream as they are compelled to continue the Zia-era policies benefitting the vested interests of the reactionary, corrupt, upstarts’ and crime infested ruling classes. It is this economic character of the present system that these political and state actors are destined to serve. Proxy wars are strategies by the new states in a period where the national and world wars are unaffordable, unsustainable and could end up in the mutual destruction of the adversary elites. The involvement of a ‘foreign hand’ cannot be excluded in this terrorist wave but laying all the blame on external factors actually conceals the failure of the state to eliminate terror and the complicity of certain official elements in the protection and nurturing of these reactionary forces for their vested interests. Now the successors’ of the mentors of these Frankenstein monsters are faced with the retribution of history. The mingling of these terrorists in the thickly populated cities and suburban towns makes it a herculean task to find and surgically remove them out of the population in general. Even though these religious bigots have a meagre support base amongst the masses, they have organised structures and an abundant capital. They can launch small demonstrations to pressurise the corrupt rulers with hundreds of destitute children seeking shelters from the socio-economic onslaught of capitalism in their seminaries. Such sectarian bastions exist in the hearts of Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and other cities and towns across the country indoctrinating sectarian hatreds. They defy the laws by bribing state officials and threatening the judiciary. Above all, they exploit the religious and sectarian sentiments of the state’s petit bourgeois functionaries. But these policies of proxy conflicts and the exacerbating infightings of the varied capitalist interests are tearing apart the social fabric of the country. The collapse of the left and betrayals of traditional parties and leaders have further added to this apathy. The ultimate weapon to eradicate terrorism — the people’s mobilisation — is crucial to crushing these forces of black reaction. With no real revolutionary alternative in the political spectrum has blunted this revolutionary weapon of the class struggle. In the present state of inertia temporarily blanketing society, lumpen sections of the petit bourgeois youth despaired with the prospect of a bleak future can move towards such outfits in sheer frustration and commit such harrowing acts. The neoliberal economics that replaced the failed Keynesianism model is rapidly intensifying inequality and social turbulence. The crisis of the capitalist system is so acute that its historical obsoleteness and economic bankruptcy has not only debilitated the state structures but also the surge of Islamic fundamentalist terror is a manifestation of this crisis. Terrorism can neither be eliminated through peace deals and agreements with these bestial creatures nor can it be crushed by the states that cast them as proxy options. Without transforming the socio-economic material basis of these vile outfits the scourge of terrorism cannot be eliminated. This social, economic, political and administrative system is obsolete and beyond repair in its terminal decay. Only the mobilisations of the toiling classes can fight and vanquish religious terrorism and reactionary socio- cultural onslaught upon society by putting end to the system that needs these evils for its exploitation and ruler ship.

Earlier in the fall, I got an email from the folks at Goya. They were writing to tell me about one of the ways that they’re working to reduce hunger and asked if I’d be interested in helping spread the word. You see, every time someone has bought a can of Goya Coconut Milk in November and December, Goya has been donating products to Feeding America.
The donated food is then distributed to hungry families through local food banks across the country. This ‘Can Do’ campaign is part of Goya Gives, a national initiative committed to supporting local communities through social and environmental causes. By the end of the year, Goya will donate at least 600,000 pounds of food (the more you buy, the more they give).
They asked if they could send me a few ingredients with which I would develop a recipe featuring coconut milk. Of course I said yes (anything to help feed more people). The only problem is that I missed one word in the email. Savory. They wanted me to create a savory dish that could be served for dinner (makes sense, since Meatless Mondays was also part of the partnership). I blame the amount of space my new book is currently taking up in my head.
I made rice pudding before I reread the email and realized my mistake. And I just didn’t have time to create something new. So I’m here with a recipe that’s only in partial keeping with the campaign. But if it encourages you to head out and buy some Goya coconut milk, then I will still have done my job. And if savory is what you want, here are some other recipes to try.
I still encourage you to try this recipe. It’s lush, not-too-sweet, and is the perfect foil to bright, tangy jams. It’s cooked in the oven and only stirred occasionally, so it’s wonderfully hands off. The only trick is that you need to blitz the rice in a blender or food processor before combining it with the rest of the ingredients, to ensure a truly creamy texture.
This oven cooked technique borrows from recipes published by Laurie Colwin, Jane Grigson, and others. I use lengths of lemon peel to help balance the richness of the coconut milk, but you could also try lime or even cardamom pods. This time of year, a few cloves and some clementine peel would also be nice.

USAID has announced a new program through its Bureau for Food Security: Seed Systems Support Activity, with an estimated program funding of 20 million US$.
The goal of Seed Systems Support Activity (S3A) is to enhance farmers’ access to a full range of seed choices and options to maximize their responsive decision making and planning for production. The Activity seeks to improve functioning of national seed sector in Feed the Future countries and in countries with resilience and emergency seed security programs.
For this program, coordination with various existing indexes, such as the WorldBank’s EBA, TASAI and the Access to Seeds Index, is seen as critical in achieving these results.
In its notice USAID says: ‘Each of these indexes provides useful, but different, information on seed systems in FTF countries. There may be opportunities to coordinate the outputs of these indexes, or to expand their individual efforts. More importantly, governments, seed companies and civil society can be made aware of their implications and encouraged to improve their relative standings.’

A demonstration area under construction in the eastern Chinese city of Qingdao is offering a better prospect for cooperation between China and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
The demonstration area has a great strategic significance, which can improve trade between the SCO countries and intensify mutual trust and benefit, said SCO Secretary-General Vladimir Norov, at the recently concluded SCO Qingdao Forum on Local Economic and Trade Cooperation.
"The economic potential of SCO countries has not yet been fully developed," Norov said.
The SCO has eight member states, four observer states and six dialogue partners. Its member states, namely China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, account for about 20 percent of the global economy and 40 percent of its population.
China proposed to set up a demonstration area for local economic and trade cooperation between China and the SCO during the SCO Summit held in Qingdao in June 2018.
With a 61.1 square-kilometer core region located in Jiaozhou under Qingdao, the demonstration area has launched 13 domestic and international freight trains. More than 40 cooperation projects have been registered in this area, covering such industries as high-end equipment manufacturing, artificial intelligence and bio-medicine.
It is not only China's big market that Sri Lanka values but also the potential business opportunities from other SCO countries, said Alexi Gunasekara, an official of the Sri Lankan Embassy in China.
As a dialogue partner of the SCO and a firm supporter of the Belt and Road Initiative, Sri Lanka witnessed an export of $230 million to China last year.
Gunasekara said the Belt and Road Initiative is highly consistent with Sri Lanka's national development strategy, and Sri Lanka looks to better promote investment, free trade and cultural exchanges with the help of the SCO and the Belt and Road.
"In the year 2018, the trade volume between Qingdao and the SCO countries reached $5.5 billion," Said Meng Fanli, mayor of Qingdao.
"So far, the two-way investment has exceeded $1.9 billion, which has fully reflected the vigor and vitality of SCO local economic and trade cooperation," Meng said.
Sardorkhon Muratov, export manager of Alimkhan Company from Uzbekistan, said besides fruit products, the company plans to export building materials to China since the relationship between the two countries is getting ever closer.
Thilak Weerasinghe, chairman of LSR Travel Agency from Sri Lanka, said he experienced a delightful journey in Qingdao.
Besides introducing tourism products to China, he purchased hotel furnishings, wines and a solar power system from Chinese companies.
"I buy a lot of goods from China every year," Weerasinghe said. "With all the goods and equipment, we will offer more qualified services for tourists from China and other countries."
In 2018, nearly 300,000 Chinese tourists visited Sri Lanka.
The first SCO Qingdao Forum on Local Economic and Trade Cooperation and the first SCO International Trade and Investment Fair lasted from May 24 to 26 in Qingdao. The event attracted more than 400 companies and institutions, including over 150 from overseas.

Italy has signed an agreement to increase Algerian gas imports by about 40 percent as part of its first major deal to find alternative sources of supplies since Russia’s widespread invasion of Ukraine.
During a visit to Algeria, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said the agreements were an important step in Italy’s efforts to reduce dependence on Russian gas, Reuters reported.
“He will be followed by others,” he told reporters after meeting with Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebbun.
Italy, which receives about 40 percent of Russia’s gas imports, is now trying to diversify its energy supply structure. Authorities have approached many countries, including Congo, Angola, Azerbaijan and Qatar, to replace the 29 billion cubic meters of gas they receive from Russia.
A statement from Italian energy group Eni (ENI.Mi) said it had agreed with Algeria’s Sonatrach to gradually increase flows in the Transmed pipeline starting this year and to plan to reach an additional 9 billion cubic meters of gas per year. , until 2023-2024.
Russian gas refusal in Europe
Italy is not the only country looking for alternative sources of supply. The European Commission has proposed that Europe reduce Russian gas imports by two-thirds this year and phase them out by 2027.
With one of the largest gas transmission networks in Europe, Italy is seen as a future bridgehead to Europe for green gas and hydrogen produced in North Africa and beyond. According to Mario Draghi, Italy is also ready to work with Algeria to develop renewable energy and green hydrogen.
At the same time, the Vice President of the European Commission, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, is convinced that the rejection of Russian gas will not stop Russia’s war against Ukraine.

It looks like there won't be a happy ending for Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas, after all.
"After six years of marriage, and having been separated for the past year, Katharine McPhee has filed for a dissolution of marriage from Nick Cokas," a rep for the "Smash" actress told People magazine. "The two have an amicable relationship and will remain friends. They ask that people respect their privacy during this time."
Earlier this year, it was thought that the couple may have reconciled, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The couple's marital problems first came to light after McPhee was photographed kissing married "Smash" director Michael Morris. At first it appeared as though both Morris and McPhee were cheating on their spouses, however, it quickly became apparent that McPhee and Cokas had already been separated for six months at the time news of the scandal broke.
A source close to the 30-year-old actress says no outside parties played a role in their final split. "It was just time. They'd grown apart and weren't right for each other anymore," the source told People.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WFRV) – An American transportation holding company headquartered in Kansas has announced its plans to permanently close a freight trucking facility in southeast Wisconsin.
According to a letter sent by Yellow Corporation to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), the company is closing its facility, Milwaukee Terminal 386, located at 6161 South 6th Street in Milwaukee.
Yellow Corporation states the reasoning for the closure is due to the company’s ‘consolidation of its operations.’
Even though Yellow Corporation announced the closure, the company’s hope is for the 189 employees affected to be transferred to different company facilities. Yellow Corporation states that it is actively working with union representatives on the matter.
As a result, the Company does not anticipate that this notice is required, but it is issuing it in an abundance of caution and in a good faith effort to comply with any notice obligations it may have under state or federal law. There is currently no way to determine which Facility employees will accept the Company’s transfer opportunities. As such, the Company is identifying all Facility employees as impacted.Yellow Corporation
The Milwaukee Terminal 386 closure is expected to take place on or around May 28.
None of the affected employees have bumping rights in connection with the closure pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement or otherwise.
No additional information was provided.

Bradley Skaught photo: Patric Carver)
The Bye Bye Blackbirds are one of the tightest bands in the Bay Area.
Around for more than a decade, the Blackbirds play each set with the enthusiasm of teenagers but the musical acumen of a veteran band. Only two members of the band, Bradley Skaught and Lenny Gill, have been consistent throughout the years, but the Blackbirds sound has been solid since the beginning – power-pop with sophisticated but accessible arrangements cloaked in honey-sweet melodies. I’ve seen the Blackbirds live several times, and they never disappoint.
Take Out the Poison is set to be released soon. I sat down with frontman Skaught for iced tea and cappuccinos at Timeless Coffee for a chat.
The Bay Bridged: Can you give me a little history of the band?
Bradley Skaught: Yeah, we started about 12 years ago. Lenny was playing drums then, now he’s on guitar. We’ve had a series of drummers since then (laughs). I mean, we’ve had really good drummers. It’s actually been sort of impressive…I mean, there’s three on our latest record, the new album.
TBB: Is Jozef (Jozef Becker, formerly of Thin White Rope) now a permanent part of the Blackbirds?
BS: Uh, well, yeah.
TBB: Well, as permanent as a drummer can be.
BS: (laughs) Yeah, I just don’t use that word anymore, but, yes, he’s an actual band member. By his own invitation, too; he actually asked to keep playing with us. That’s a rarity. It’s great.
TBB: With so many changes to your lineup, would you say that the sound has been consistent? That’s a lot of change to still be able to maintain the same sound.
BS: Yeah, to a certain extent. The original guitar player and I had actually been playing music even longer than that. He and I had been involved in different projects for many, many, many years. So, we had our own distinctive guitar personalities, and we’d built them up for over a decade or more. So, when he left, that changed the sound, for sure. There was some debate, at least in my mind, about whether we should scrap it altogether. New band name, start over…I think it was one of Lenny’s friends who said, ‘As long as you’re writing the songs and singing, it’s going to be consistent.’ So, I trusted that. Every version of the band has had a different harmony blend, but I feel like it’s kind of consistent. Lenny’s a very different guitar player. I think you’ll hear that on this new album; he’s lead guitar for the first time. I think it’s like the arch of any band that’s been around this long. Very few bands that have been around for so long sound exactly the same. They still sound like an aspect of themselves. I feel like that’s true for us.
TBB: Yeah, I’ve seen you guys play a few times and the lineup has always been slightly different, but the sound is that same. KC (KC Bowman) seems to be an undulating member of the band.
BS: To be fair, he’s been to every show since he became an unofficial member. He’s on the current record and the previous record. We don’t tie him down to anything, though. That’s just now how he’s comfortable. I just extend him an invitation to everything, and he shows up to every show so far, and the occasional recording session. Whenever he does, he does great things. Yeah, but, KC does whatever he wants.
TBB: I feel like someone with a rock and roll name like KC Bowman just can’t be tied down. They’re going to do whatever they want, regardless.
BS: (laughs) Well, yeah, and, to be fair, he’s just so good. I don’t ever have to worry about him. If he shows up, he’s going to do something cool. He’s going to sing well, he’s going to perform, he’s going to help in the studio. Whatever he does, he’s so naturally talented, he’s always going to bring something valuable. When you go through that many lineup changes and that many traumatic band changes, it’s nice to have someone you just don’t need to worry about.
TBB: You do seem to have a lot of talent in your outfit right now.
BS: Yeah, Aaron’s (Aaron Rubin, formerly of the Mr. T. Experience) like that, too. He’s not going to make many mistakes; he’s going to put a lot into it. He’s going to play creatively and imaginatively. Everyone that plays with us is a solid performer. I think part of it is just being older and being in a band, too, you just don’t want to babysit or try to motivate people. You just want people to show up and do what they’re going to do, and do it well. We’ve had a lot of what I think of as deputy band members. Our friend Bill Swan will show up and play trumpet. He doesn’t practice with us; he knows three songs. He’ll show up, though, and he’s great. We can depend on him.
TBB: It sounds like you have managed to really create a cohesive unit even though there’s been so many changes. One thing that I’ve notice remains consistent is that you do the bulk of the songwriting. Can you tell me about how you developed as a songwriter?
BS: Well, first of all, in the original lineup of the band, we had two songwriters. The original bass player was a songwriter, and a good one, too. So, for the first EP we kind of split the songwriting. Then, we parted with him and I took over as the main songwriter. I’d been writing songs, though, since I was a kid, a teenager…when I started the Blackbirds, one of the goals was a real emphasis on songwriting. Melody, structure, lyrics – we really wanted it to be very realized, structured, mature. Everything was going to be built around strong songwriting. I had made a record with a previous band and worked with other projects, kind of learning how to write. This band, though, it was going to be like a focusing process for me, a time to get serious. I kept asking myself what I wanted to accomplish, what I was good at, and what I needed to get better at as a songwriter. It was sort of the mission statement of the band that it was going to be a song-based band, and those of us writing the songs were going to write really good songs. I think I got a lot better once the decision was made that this was going to be about songwriting. I’ve always been song-oriented. I’ve never been in a band where I just wrote riffs. I always wrote songs that could be played on an acoustic guitar, that had strong melodies – kind of the old-fashioned way of, ‘Here’s the complete song, now we’ll introduce it to the band and come up with arrangements and put it together.’
TBB: Yeah, when I listen to your songs and I hear that I’m reminded of Big Star’s #1, where each song seems like a complete package. That’s a connection I make. I am wondering what connections you make. What do you think the Blackbirds sound like?
BS: That’s a hard question to answer. I don’t have a million names I can rattle off because I’ve listened to so much an absorbed so much that it is, really, hundreds of names. You mentioned Big Star, who are huge heroes of mine. So, that kind of thinking about a guitar band and how to function makes a lot of sense. The influences at this point are so smashed together, though. I think that’s what makes us sound so distinctive. I mean, you don’t think, Oh, they obviously listened to this record and recreated it.” Maybe I’m wrong, but when I hear it, I hear a million different things going on. There’s power-pop, that’s a genre most people are comfortable labeling us as, but there’s a lot of country to it, a lot of folk, heavy rock, jangly folk rock…there’s a lot of stuff because I listen to a lot of stuff and I try to learn from a lot of stuff. I don’t write with an end result in mind, and a lot of times the writing doesn’t even reflect what I am listening to at the moment.
TBB: Are there any local bands that you’re into lately?
BS: There are a lot of local people. KC’s Band, the Corner Laughers. They’re phenomenal. Chuck Prophet, he’s great, too. I think what I like about Chuck is that there’s just not a lot of great rock bands in the Bay Area. There’s a lot of indie, kind of jangly, very beautiful stuff, but Chuck Prophet is kind of like an old-school rock n’ roll guy. He’s also one of the few that have stayed (laughs). He didn’t get popular and move away.
TBB: Yeah, he’s not living in Brooklyn in a brownstone.
BS: Or in LA.
TBB: Well, you all seem to be doing okay so far. Let’s talk about your new album, Take Out the Poison. How does it compare to previous Blackbird albums?
BS: I think it’s very different from the previous one. The previous record had a pretty distinctive sound all the way through for the most part. There were a few little deviations. It was deliberately done that way. We wanted to make this consistent guitar rock record where every song felt like it was all tied together. This record was almost the opposite. I had seven or eight of the songs before I realized I had almost an album’s worth of stuff. Every one of the songs had like its own little thing, even through the making of the record, it was like, “Do these belong together?” So, that became the focus, giving each song its own little place to sit. I think it does flow very nicely, but it’s a very diverse record. It’s got some country type stuff, which the last record didn’t. This record has various spots with that twang to it. It was very scattered, it came in bits in pieces. It just kind of fell together.
TBB: It sounds like the record came to you.
BS: Yeah, well, maybe some people don’t care about this kind of thing, but for me, I need to just be as good as I possibly can be every time. It comes down to being a poet, a painter. You’ve got to try and be a part of the conversation artistically. You’ve got to do it and try to be as good as you can. You can’t worry about whether or not what you produce is going to filter its way to find ears. You’ve just got to write good songs.
Take Out the Poison will be available August 25, and they’ll be playing the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park on August 26.

The Fair showcases the local 4H and FFA youth and many vendors that promote their business, plus includes a large 'Ag Center' that is filled with farm implement and RV dealers.


In In Times of the Emperor, Pilar (Gabriela Medvedovski) will have a son even before she marries Samuel (Michel Gomes). After the deaths of Abena (Mary Sheyla) and Baltazar (Alan Rocha), the musician will take on the responsibility of creating Guebo (João Victor Menezes) and will decide that the orphan will live with the couple in the telenovela at six on Globo.
In the scenes planned to air in next Monday’s chapter (6), Candida (Dani Ornellas) will see the spirits of the boy’s parents and will tell the villagers of Little Africa that Abena and Balthazar were murdered. “We have to think about Guebo. His parents were everything to him”, will comment Don Olu (Rogério Brito) after hearing his wife’s revelation.
“Now he doesn’t have any more family. And in such a brutal way… This is a wound that never closes”, complete the leader. At that moment, Dom Pedro 2º’s Arabic teacher (Selton Mello) interrupted: “I want to stay with Guebo. I’m moving to his house, I’m going to take care of him. I know what it’s like to lose your family.”
Afterwards, Candida will give the news of the death to the boy, accompanied by Samuel. “I believe in your vision. I felt them both here, close to me. My parents died. I don’t have anyone else”, regrets Guebo. “I will take care of you. I will never leave you. Never”, will affirm the character of Michel Gomes, who will embrace the boy.
However, Pilar’s fiance will face resistance from Abena’s son. The child will not like the idea of leaving Little Africa to live with Samuel and the aspiring doctor, and the musician’s plans for his education.
“Guebo, I talked to the Duke of Caxias [Jackson Antunes]. He found you a place in the military school prep,” will tell Tonico Rocha’s brother (Alexandre Nero), in a scene later on.
The boy will explode at the tutor: “I’m not going to school in white. You don’t boss me around. You’re not my father.” Samuel will be devastated by the resistance of Balthazar’s son and will tell Pilar, who will reassure the groom.

Geneseo’s largest all-freshmen residence building Onondaga Hall has a diverse and extensive staff of resident assistants. With the start of the spring semester, Onondaga gained some new RAs, including sophomore Amanda McLean.
“Last year, all my RAs kept telling me that I should apply for the position, saying that I’d be good at it,” McLean said. “I feel like I’m easy to talk to and I understand what should and shouldn’t happen in a residence hall.”
McLean is an RA on the second floor of the north side of Daga. She explained that her and co-RA sophomore Ryan Kirrane have only known each other for five short weeks, but have formed a very close bond. “Ryan [Kirrane] and I get along really well,” she said. It’s actually kind of scary sometimes!”
McLean noted that she is not intimidated by the fact that she is only one year older than her residents. “Even though Ryan [Kirrane] and I are both sophomores on a floor of all freshmen, I feel like it makes us more relatable and approachable,” she said.
RAs are often some of the most involved students on campus and McLean is no exception. As a member of local Geneseo sorority Sisters Making a Change, McLean is a big supporter of Greek life.
“I love it,” she said. “I think everyone who’s interested should check it out. I knew I wanted to join a sorority when I got to school, but I think anyone’s who’s on the fence should give it a shot. People are always going to have something bad to say about every organization; you just keep to open up and have a different perspective if it’s something you think you might be interested in.”
McLean explained that her love of Greek life and Geneseo as a whole drove her to becoming a tour guide for prospective students. “I like getting to show people how much I love Geneseo and I want to encourage people to come and be a part of the community here,” she said.
According to McLean, many of her friends question how she is involved in an extraordinary amount of organizations. She explained that her response is also her mantra: “There’s no such thing as doing too much!”
In her free time, McLean emphasized that she loves reading The Lamron. “I’m interested in seeing what’s going on around campus,” she said. “I like getting to see names of people I’m friends with and people I have classes with writing these amazing articles.”
As an international relations major, McLean explained that she would like to combine her interest in sports and her studies in international relations to work for the Olympic committee in the future.
“I’m very passionate about sports, but I have no ability,” she said. “I think this would be a great way for me to channel my enthusiasm into a career.” McLean is no stranger to the sports world, as she is currently the co-producer of GSTV’s sports talk show, “Sportsblock” which airs Mondays at 5:30 p.m. She also serves as treasurer of the organization.
Class of 2017 students may know McLean as their president, as she is currently serving as for the second year in a row. “I run the list serve, so all of those emails you get are from me,” she said.
No matter what organization you’re involved in on campus, you’ve probably seen McLean around. And to think, she still has two more years left at Geneseo to do even more.

Publisher: Dead Dodo Presents Rider Haggard
Dodo Collections brings you another classic from H. Rider Haggard, ‘Montezuma's Daughter.’
This remarkable novel by adventure writer H. Rider Haggard can be enjoyed on many levels. As a tale of adventure, it takes the reader through 16th-century England, Spain, and Mexico at the time of the Spanish Conquest. But on a deeper level, the author's hopes for humanity shine through the darkness of this time to illuminate the reader with his spiritual philosophy. The closing chapters on the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenoctitlan under the assault of Cortez are profoundly moving.
Montezuma's Daughter is a fascinating historical novel and love story, with enough action to keep even the most jaded reader on the edge of the chair. And those who value the deeper aspects of the author's writing will not be disappointed.
Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and the creator of the Lost World literary genre. His stories, situated at the lighter end of the scale of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. He was also involved in agricultural reform and improvement in the British Empire.
His breakout novel was King Solomon's Mines (1885), which was to be the first in a series telling of the multitudinous adventures of its protagonist, Allan Quatermain.
Haggard was made a Knight Bachelor in 1912 and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1919. He stood unsuccessfully for Parliament as a Conservative candidate for the Eastern division of Norfolk in 1895. The locality of Rider, British Columbia, was named in his memory.

When it comes to purchasing electricity or natural gas for your home or business, there are two types of energy providers operating in Alberta. The first are regulated-rate companies, which offer regulated (RRO) rates for natural gas and electricity. Regulated providers’ prices are determined monthly by the Alberta Utilities Commission, and they are required to charge you at the current regulated rate. Alternatively, competitive retailers are companies licensed by the province of Alberta to sell and electricity throughout the province, without geographic restrictions. Their rates are solely determined by the retailer.
At EnergyRates.ca, we can help you compare the various energy providers and their rates, and find the best deal for your electricity and natural gas needs.

Patti Blagojevich in first sit-down since sentencing
February 9, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- In an interview that was rambling, tearful and sometimes punctuated by sobbing, former Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich on Thursday spoke in detail for the first time since her husband was sentenced to a lengthy federal prison term.
ABC7 News has learned that Mrs. Blagojevich taped an exclusive interview with Chicago-based talk show hostess Rosie O'Donnell.
During the one-on-one interview, the wife of the impeached and disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich downplayed the severity of her husband's wrongdoing that resulted in jury convictions on 17 corruption-related counts. "He was found guilty of getting advice and having routine conversations with advisors and closest friends" she told O'Donnell "It wasn't about anything else," she said.
Accompanied on Thursday by the lawyer who unsuccessfully defended her husband, Mrs. Blagojevich said that she wanted to provide more details about the legal ordeal and that "someday when this is over we could have 3 hour conversation" but that "his lawyers have told me not to talk about it."
Mrs. Blagojevich said that the "case isn't over. We have faith in system that this wrong will be righted and truth will prevail." The former governor's legal team has filed an appeal of the conviction and sentence.
Mr. Blagojevich is scheduled to report to federal prison on March 15 to begin a sentence of 14 years. He has requested to serve time at a facility in Colorado.
The former first lady, daughter of a Northwest Side Chicago alderman, said that her role in life right now is one of a "supporting player" for her husband and that her friends know the real Patti Blagojevich.
Although she declined to discuss specifics of the criminal charges against her husband that resulted in two federal trials, Mrs. Blagojevich did tell Rosie O'Donnell that the government wiretaps on their telephones were invasive.
There is no air date for the interview, which will be seen on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, on Oprah Winfrey's cable network, OWN.
As she was driven in a limousine from Winfrey's HARPO studio on the West Side, Patti Blagojevich did not stop to speak with an ABC7 News crew that was outside.

The Biodiversity flyover at Gachibowli was reopened for traffic this morning by the City Mayor Bonthu Rammohan.
The flyover has been shut down for traffic since 42 days after an accident in which a car jumped off the bridge at a curve killing one lady Satyavathi on the spot and injuring four others seated inside the car.
The flyover built at a cost of Rs69.47 crore was inaugurated on November 4 but no sooner on November 10, 2 youth Praveen and Vamshi Raju died after falling from the bridge after a speeding car hit them while taking selfie on the bridge. In the next 10 days on November 23, another incident took place forcing GHMC authorities to close down the flyover for reassessing engineering defects, if any following a hue and cry raised by public and political parties.
GHMC authorities took several precautions by arranging more than 1200 rumble strips to control the speed while the rubber speed breaker was laid at one place. White and Red colour Cat-eyes were marked throughout the bridge with a side railing was erected on the left side at the curve. Several traffic signboards were set up at vantage points throughout the bridge displaying the speed limit as 40.
