The NFL has staged an odd war against the people of the United States. For the past two years, the football organization has used its pulpit cast a political aura around its brand.
Now, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) group decided to protest the championship game in Minneapolis. Many vital roadways and transit systems were shutdown for two hours, preventing travel to the Super Bowl. Protesters wore black jerseys reading “You can’t play with Black Lives.”
Just hours before the start of the game, light rails and roads were being shut down. Protestors began blocking the paths of rail trains and other vehicles.
Chaining themselves to fences or standing on critical tracks, several protestors were able to block traffic in and out of the area. As people from across the nation flooded the city to witness Super Bowl 52, many became trapped in traffic leading up to the start of the game.
Several rail lines around the Minneapolis and St. Paul region experienced closures. The blue and green lines were offering discounted rides to passengers who held tickets to the championship game.
A spokesperson for the transit authority had assured reporters that busses were made available to some passengers trapped by the protests. Some protestors allege they were denied access to public transportation without a Super Bowl ticket.
Venturing out into the single-digit weather, advocates for the Black Lives Matter Movement disrupted the actions of the NFL and their supporters. Taking a knee in solidarity, the NFL has allowed many players to present their own protest before the games.
Players have waned in support of kneeling during the national anthem. After the president had made it a point to call out particular teams and players not showing respect for the country, many Americans could no longer turn to football as an escape from politics.
The fall out has been so severe, the organization has had to accommodate major changes to staffing and budgets. Seeing the lowest ratings in years, the decline in sales of merchandise and brand goods has hurt the National Football League.
Although all players of both teams stood for the national anthem last night, the commercials screened by the company has drawn controversy.
The sports organization declined to air ads asking people to stand for the troops. The NFL, however, seemed more than happy to run ads provoking animosity towards the policies of the president.
The halftime show with Justin Timberlake started out with the repeating of the line, “Haters goin’ call it fake.” An odd way to start a show highlighted by an amazing use of lights and lasers.
Drawing the image of fake news, the NFL endorsed halftime show suggests facts can be disproven with emotion.
The NFL works as hard as the mainstream media companies in the effort to slander the president of the United States. In an effort to discredit the evil racist president, the NFL has continued to resist the leader of the free world.
BLM movement took advantage of the heightened publicity of the Super Bowl and took the fight against the president to the streets. Facing single digit weather, many protestors took it upon themselves to protest one of their biggest advocates.
The NFL permitted the protests to go so far as to block the entrance of gate three in the U.S. Bank Stadium.
Linked arm in arm, it took police over two hours to disperse protestors blocking rail lines and traffic ways. At least 17 people have been arrested for their demonstrations.
Setting up multiple protests around the city on Sunday, groups were raising awareness of police brutality and wealth inequality.
Organizers claimed they wanted to take the chance to stand with the players who have knelt for the past two seasons. Since Colin Kaepernick first knelt in 2016, many players have since followed.
The former player for San Francisco claimed he did it to raise awareness of police brutality. The message has since been lost and many players are unable to articulate a reason for the protest.
The condemnation from the president and the wavering support from the fans has enticed a few teams to ban kneeling. Trying to show respect for the troops and the flag, many players have made a pronounced statement to stand during the national anthem.

Christopher Plummer 'Beginners' Indie Spirit Awards
Christopher Plummer won the best supporting male award at the Indie Spirit Awards for his work in Beginners.
When asked about the pros and cons of doing independant movies he said, "I think independents are where the talent lies, it's wonderful to do a big blockbuster studio picture, it's great fun. But I think the provocative thoughtful pictures and odd quirky ones come out of the independents."

Take a moment and think back to your childhood. Regardless of the condition, there was a strong unawareness to who and what you were exactly. You knew you were a kid with a strong sense of ego, but yet a strong sense of wanting to help others.
Fast-forward to your adolescent years where things started to get a little confusing. No longer were body parts just body parts. They started having names like boobs, chest, pecs, junk, and every other word under the sun. We started labeling things in our lives as we saw so that we could understand them.
As we progressed in our adolescence we started to inherit other terms for labeling things such as black, white, girl, boy, young, old, democrat, republican, etc... The way our culture has transpired has turned us into that neat-freak child that for some reason loves to play with label-makers. There's a label for everything, even the toilet paper.
When we grew up in our adolescence, we were so focused on labeling so much so that it fueled our teenage angst and got in the way of us finding our initial identities.
The definition of identity is summed up like so: the distinguishing character or personality of an individual. When we begin to label things, it hard to distinguish them as individuals. This is the issue when we are discussing topics like sexual orientation, gender, racial identity, socioeconomic status, age, and many others.
People do not fit in boxes. By continuing this excess use of the label-maker we are discouraging people from discovery their identities and interests. Boys feel like they can't take dance classes and women feel as though they can't be boxers. People in the closet feel as though they can't come out and people of color are always monitoring their behavior.
If we put down the label-maker we might start to know and understand people for who they are. In turn, we might also become happier since we won't be so concerned with this is this and that is that. Yes, it's nice to feel like you fit in somewhere, but don't fit in because you have similar labels. Find your niche based on who you really are and what you really need and want.

Lonafarnib for Chronic Hepatitis D
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.|

- How to Read a Study Record
- Chronic hepatitis D is a severe disease of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus. The hepatitis D virus can only infect a person who also has hepatitis B; therefore, people with delta hepatitis have both hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus infection. Most people with hepatitis D eventually develop cirrhosis, which causes scarring and damage to the liver. There is currently no effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D.
- Lonafarnib is a drug that was originally designed to treat different types of cancer. It may be able to prevent the hepatitis D virus from reproducing itself. However, it has not been tested on people with hepatitis D. Researchers want to study different doses of lonafarnib to see how they affect virus levels and other symptoms of hepatitis D.
- To test the safety and effectiveness of lonafarnib as a treatment for chronic hepatitis D.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis D.
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests, eye exams, and imaging studies of the liver and gall bladder. A liver biopsy may also be performed.
- Participants will receive either lonafarnib or placebo twice a day for 28 days. For the first 3 days, participants will stay in the hospital to have frequent blood tests. Participants will have four more clinic visits (on days 7, 14, 21, and 28) for blood and urine tests. Eye exams and heart function tests will also be given. Men may be asked to provide sperm samples for further testing.
- After the 28 days of treatment, participants will stop taking the drug or placebo. They will have regular followup visits for up to 6 months after stopping treatment....

|Ages Eligible for Study:||18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)|
|Sexes Eligible for Study:||All|
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:||No|
- Age 18 years or above, male or female.
- Serum alanine or aspartate aminotransferase activities above the upper limit of normal (ALT > 41 or AST > 31 U/L) on an average of three determinations taken during the previous 6 months. The mean of the three determinations will be defined as baseline levels.
- Presence of anti-HDV in serum.
- Evidence of chronic hepatitis on liver biopsy done within the previous 12 months with a necroinflammatory score in histology activity index of at least 5 (out of a maximum of 18) and at least 1 for hepatic fibrosis (out of a maximum of 6).
- Presence of HDV antigen in liver tissue or HDV RNA in serum.
- Written informed consent.
- Decompensated liver disease, defined by bilirubin > 4mg/dL, albumin < 3.0 gm/dL, prothrombin time > 2 sec prolonged, or history of bleeding esophageal varices, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy. Laboratory abnormalities that are not thought to be due to liver disease may not necessarily require exclusion. Patients with ALT levels greater than 1000 U/L (> 25 times ULN) will not be enrolled but may be followed until three determinations are below this level.
- Pregnancy or inability to practice adequate contraception, in women of childbearing potential or in spouses of such women. Adequate contraception is defined as vasectomy in men, tubal ligation in women, or use of two barrier methods such as condoms and spermicide combination, birth control pills, an intrauterine device, Depo-Provera, or Norplant.
- Significant systemic or major illnesses other than liver disease, including, but not limited to, congestive heart failure, renal failure (eGFR < 50 ml/min), organ transplantation, serious psychiatric disease or depression (only if felt to be at high risk by the NIH psychiatric consultation service), and active coronary artery disease.
- Systemic immunosuppressive therapy within the previous 2 months.
- Evidence of another form of liver disease in addition to viral hepatitis (for example autoimmune liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, Wilson disease, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (but not steatosis), hemochromatosis, or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency).
- Active substance abuse, such as alcohol, inhaled or injection drugs within the previous year.
- Evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Evidence of concurrent hepatitis C infection with positive serum HCV RNA.
- Any experimental therapy apart from pegylated interferon within 6 months prior to enrollment.
- Diagnosis of malignancy in the five years prior to the enrollment with exception granted to superficial dermatologic malignancies.

Comments about Tripp Lite 4-Port USB Charging Station Surge 2 Outlet Ipad Tablet Stand:
Since I get this product, the problem of charging phones and tablets from my family (of 6) has gone. The fight for the cubes (usb power adapters) and the wall outlet space are not an issue anymore. I Actually bought a second unit to have at the dinning room. Important to consider that does not include the usb cables.

Which digest faster protein or carbohydrate?
Protein, on the other hand, is digested more slowly than carbohydrates. The digestion process doesn’t begin until it hits the stomach, as the molecules’ large size requires more work from the body to break them down.
How is digestion of fats different from proteins and carbohydrates?
a) Processing of fat does not require any digestive enzymes, whereas the processing of carbohydrates does. b) Fat absorption occurs in the stomach, whereas carbohydrates are absorbed from the small intestine. c) Carbohydrates need to be emulsified before they can be digested, whereas fats do not.
What digests faster?
However, the exact time varies and depends on factors such as: Amount and type of food eaten: Protein-rich foods and fatty foods, such as meat and fish, can take longer to digest than high-fiber foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Sweets, such as candy, crackers, and pastries, are among the fastest foods digested.
What is the ratio of protein fat and carbohydrate?
The Bottom Line The acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR) are 45–65% of your daily calories from carbs, 20–35% from fats and 10–35% from protein. To lose weight, find a ratio you can stick with, focus on healthy foods and eat fewer calories than you burn.
Does the body digest protein first?
Protein digestion begins when you first start chewing. There are two enzymes in your saliva called amylase and lipase. They mostly break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids.
Which foods keep you full the longest?
These types of foods tend to score high on a scale called the satiety index.
- Boiled potatoes. Potatoes have been demonized in the past, but they’re actually very healthy and nutritious.
- Eggs. Eggs are incredibly healthy and nutrient-dense.
- Greek yogurt.
Where does carbohydrate protein and fat digestion begin?
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are digested in the intestine, where they are broken down into their basic units: Carbohydrates into sugars. Proteins into amino acids. Fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Does protein turn into sugar?
If you consume too much protein then this can be converted into glucose by a process called ‘gluconeogenesis’. The conversion of protein to glucose occurs as a result of the hormone, glucagon, which prevents low blood sugar and so isn’t a bad thing unless you are OVER-consuming protein.
What are the three worst foods for digestion?
Worst Foods for Digestion
- Artificial Sugar. 3 / 10.
- Too Much Fiber. 4 / 10.
- Beans. 5 / 10.
- Cabbage and Its Cousins. 6 / 10.
- Fructose. 7 / 10.
- Spicy Foods. 8 / 10.
- Dairy Products. 9 / 10.
- Peppermint. 10 / 10. It can relax the muscle at the top of the stomach, which lets food move back into your esophagus.
What is the easiest fruit to digest?
Whole fruits contain high amounts of fiber, but cooking them helps break down the fiber significantly, which makes it easier to digest….Good choices in this food category include:
- very ripe banana.
- honeydew melon.
- canned or cooked fruits without the skin or seeds.
How much protein should I eat a day to lose weight?
If you want to lose weight, aim for a daily protein intake between 1.6 and 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (. 73 and 1 grams per pound). Athletes and heavy exercisers should consume 2.2-3.4 grams of protein per kilogram (1-1.5 grams per pound) if aiming for weight loss.
How do you calculate carbs protein and fat?
To calculate the actual gram amounts:
- Carbs (four calories per gram): 1,150 divided by 4 equals 287.5 grams of carbs.
- Protein (four calories per gram): 575 divided by 4 equals 143.75 grams of protein.
- Fat (nine calories per gram): 575 divided by 9 equals 63.8 grams of fat.
Which is digested faster, protein or carbohydrates?
Related Articles. Carbohydrates, as the body’s primary source of energy, generally pass through the digestive tract more rapidly than either protein or fats. Protein digests faster than fats. Some carbohydrates digest more quickly than others, depending on the type of sugars and starches they contain, while others, such as fiber,…
Where does digestion of fat and protein take place?
For all food groups, the digestion process kicks off in your mouth, where you chew and swallow food, allowing it to make its way to your stomach, per the Cleveland Clinic. Protein takes longer to break down than carbohydrates, according to University Hospitals, and fats take the longest amount of time.

Marvel recently announced a new game for mobile and PC platforms. The entertainment company is describing it as a card game that will be both “fast-paced” and “adrenaline-pumping”. Marvel Snap will be a collectible card game. It is currently under development at Second Dinner, and the team is reportedly led by Hearthstone’s director. The game will include all Marvel multiverses, including both heroes and villains in this game. Although we do not have a release date or window yet, the game will launch on iOS, Android, and Windows platforms.
To better explain what Second Dinner’s Marvel Snap is, we’ll say it’s a game that permits players to assemble their dream team. This team is not limited to just the Avengers—you can easily have Thor and Loki fighting on the same side. The game allows pairing any hero or villain into your dream team.
What is the Current Status of Marvel Snap?
Currently, Marvel Snap is in a closed beta mode on Android devices. This status started on May 19, 2022, and is expected to last for some time as the developers fine-tune their title. The developers are planning to continue this closed beta beyond the initial launch of the game to test higher player counts, regions, and platforms in the game. Interested players can complete a Marvel Snap Android survey to participate in the beta.
At launch, the game will come with support for 13 different languages and 150 cards to collect. New cards will be added to the game every month. The game will also have a season system. Recently, Marvel Entertainment also sent out a tweet announcing the game to the masses. More information is on Marvel Snap’s website.
How to Play Marvel Snap?
Marvel Snap will come with an innovative gameplay system. Every player will have a deck of 12 cards at the start of a game. Matches will be fought in a one-to-one model. Each match will last for 3 minutes, with no waiting periods for either player. Players can lay their cards as they wish. Their cards will unleash random locations depending on the MCU lore. Some examples include Knowhere, Sinister London, and Wakanda.
Each location will create beneficial or challenging situations for both the player and the opponents. The game will have over 50 locations at launch, and any can be spawned randomly during the game. At the end of the game, players are awarded Cosmic Cubes. If players are confident they will win, they also can choose to double the number of these Cubes that can be won at the beginning of the game. However, if they lose the game, they will lose all those they selected when starting.
Overall, Marvel Snap looks like an interesting game to watch out for in the upcoming months as it makes its way to Android, iOS, and PC.

Siblings' bodies IDd, but no cause of death
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, September 3, 2008
Authorities are trying to determine the cause of death for two young siblings whose skeletal remains were discovered inside a Kern County storage unit.
Investigators said Tuesday that dental records identified the victims as Victor Reyes and Tricia Reyes.
The brother and sister had been dead between two and four years when the discovery of a severed hand Aug. 19 led detectives to search a Derrell's Mini Storage unit in Bakersfield.
The county coroner says the boy and girl appeared to be between 10 and 11 years old at the time of their deaths.
Police say their mother, Alecia Valadez, died earlier this year of a drug overdose.

The Dissolution of the Monasteries is often characterised as a simple story of greed and appropriation enacted by Thomas Cromwell on behalf Henry VIII, which saw the religious evicted and all England's great abbeys and priories destroyed in less than a decade. Whilst clearly a devastating experience for the former inmates of these monastic houses and the laity who relied upon them, in this lecture Dr Willmott will explore in greater detail what actually happened to many of the monasteries after the Dissolution, suggesting that there is more to the narrative than just the theme of wanton destruction. Drawing together evidence primarily from archaeological sources and surviving remains, he will outline not only how church and cloister were systematically usually dismantled with great care, but in the majority of cases transformed and adapted to new uses over many decades after their initial closure in the 1530s.
Dr Hugh Willmott is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, and the Chair of the Society for Church Archaeology. He has conducted excavations at Monk Bretton Priory and Thornton Abbey, as well as the Early Medieval ecclesiastical sites of West Halton and Little Carlton in Lincolnshire. His book, The Dissolution of the Monasteries in England and Wales has recently been released by Equinox Publishing.

Glad to see this report, it is a good and accurate account. Modi is authoritarian and revengeful, he does not see the big picture, nor does he allow criticism or listen to people who differ with him. What he thinks is right. India is an experiment for him. We will watch him destroy the social, civic, democratic and economic structure of India. I appeal to Modi supporters to seriously look into this, eventually, it will hurt them as well.

NEW DELHI — The Media One anchorman Vinesh Kunhiraman went on air as usual on March 6, ready to tell the station’s five million viewers in India’s Kerala State about the death anniversary of a beloved comedian and the latest news on the coronavirus pandemic.
Just a few minutes into the broadcast, he saw the managing editor rush to the studio floor, gesturing wildly. “I realized something was not right,” Mr. Kunhiraman recalled.
The station’s uplink suddenly went dead. Mr. Kunhiraman’s image dissolved into a blue screen. A bland message told viewers there was no signal. “We regret the inconvenience,” it said.
But this was no technical difficulty. The station had been cut off by an order from India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The government decided to block the channel for 48 hours because it had covered February’s biggest news story — the mob attacks on Muslims in New Delhi that flared into broader unrest — in a way that seemed “critical toward Delhi Police and R.S.S.,” the order said.
The R.S.S. is a Hindu-nationalist social movement with close ties to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party.
“It was shocking the central government took such a decision,” said R. Subhash, an editor at Media One. “It was an attack on the freedom of the press.”
- Unlock more free articles.
India’s free press has played a crucial role in protecting this country’s democracy since its independence from Britain in 1947. But journalists here now feel under attack.
Since Mr. Modi came to power in 2014, they say, his government has tried to control the country’s news media, especially the airwaves, like no other prime minister in decades. Mr. Modi has shrewdly cultivated the media to build a cult of personality that portrays him as the nation’s selfless savior.
At the same time, senior government officials have pressed news outlets — berating editors, cutting off advertising, ordering tax investigations — to ignore the uglier side of his party’s campaign to transform India from a tolerant, religiously diverse country into an assertively Hindu one.
With the coronavirus pandemic, Mr. Modi has gotten more blatant in his attempt to control coverage and, as with other difficult stories, some Indian news executives seem willing to go along.
Right before he announced the world’s largest coronavirus lockdown, on 1.3 billion people, Mr. Modi met with top news executives and urged them to publish “inspiring and positive stories” about the government’s efforts. Then, after the lockdown stranded half a million migrant workers, with some dying along the highways, his lawyers persuaded the Supreme Court this week to order all media to “publish the official version” of coronavirus developments, although outlets are still allowed to carry independent reporting.
An association of leading broadcasters was quick to praise the court decision, which many intellectuals said was yet another attack on India’s constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech.
Through an aide, India’s information and broadcasting minister, Prakash Javadekar, initially agreed to discuss the government’s media policies. But in the two weeks since then, Mr. Javadekar has declined to answer any questions, including a written list emailed to him. His aide cited the demands of the coronavirus crisis.
India’s media universe is vast, perhaps the biggest in the world: More than 17,000 newspapers, 100,000 magazines, 178 television news channels and countless websites in dozens of languages. Thousands of Facebook pages call themselves news publishers, and YouTube is filled with local bulletins on everything from real estate trends to police raids.
But Mr. Modi’s ministers have leaned on business leaders to cut off support to independent media, slowly strangling their operations. His government has pressured media owners to fire journalists who have criticized the prime minister and told them to stop running features like hate-crime trackers that have embarrassed Mr. Modi’s party.
Mr. Modi is backed up by an army of online allies who discredit and harass independent journalists; female journalists, in particular, have been besieged with abuse and rape threats. And the police say Hindu nationalists were behind the 2017 murder of Gauri Lankesh, a female newspaper editor hailed as one of India’s most crusading journalists.
And for the most part, Indian news outlets have knuckled under, concluding that since much of the public supports the prime minister, they should, too. Even skeptical journalists censor themselves, afraid to be branded anti-national by a government that equates patriotism with support for Mr. Modi.
His government has also imposed the strictest restrictions on foreign journalists in decades, suddenly and without explanation. Visas have been tightened, and foreign journalists have been banned from hotbeds of unrest such as northeast India and Jammu and Kashmir, a Muslim-majority area that was stripped of its statehood in August and put under a severe crackdown.
The Kashmir story was seismic, but many Indian journalists, looking back on it, feel that they toed the government line and overlooked grave human rights abuses.
“We didn’t do justice to the big story,’’ said Rajdeep Sardesai, one of the country’s leading news anchors. “We should have gone out there and reported the situation from the ground aggressively and independently.’’
There were security restrictions on where Indian reporters could go, Mr. Sardesai said, but he admitted it was more than that.
“A large section of the Indian media,” he said, “has become a lap dog, not a watchdog.”
The business model in India doesn’t help. Well before Mr. Modi first became prime minister in 2014, newspapers and television stations have relied on government advertising, allowing politicians to reward friendly outlets and punish critics.
And media owners often run other businesses for which they need the government’s favor, making them reluctant to take on those in power.
With the coronavirus pandemic dampening advertising and restricting newspaper circulation, news organizations are now sliding into crisis. One of the most independent, The Indian Express, just decided to cut salaries.
Even as Mr. Modi constantly touts India as the world’s largest democracy, its ranking on the Reporters Without Borders press freedom index is 140 out of 180.
“In the past six years, the Indian media has deteriorated,” said Shakuntala Banaji, a media professor at the London School of Economics. “There is no semblance of truth or responsibility left in the vast majority of media reports.”
Pressuring the advertisers
The apologetic calls from advertisers have become so common that NDTV executives are no longer surprised.
One corporate boss begged the station to take his company’s logo off the screen, saying the government was squeezing him too hard. Another executive broke down in tears as he canceled a large advertising contract.
No TV channel has come under more pressure from Mr. Modi’s government than NDTV, an influential network that airs in English and Hindi. Mr. Modi’s grudge goes back to 2002, when he was chief minister of Gujarat State, and NDTV journalists reported that his government stood by while hundreds of Muslims were massacred in religiously driven violence.
When Mr. Modi became prime minister, his administration began a full-scale assault on NDTV. The government accused it of laundering money through a deal with NBC, the American TV network. The accusations have dragged on for years, and NDTV denies any wrongdoing.
“The thing in India is, you can file a case, and win it 10 years later,” said Prannoy Roy, one of NDTV’s founders. “The process is the punishment.”
The effort to brand NDTV as unpatriotic has been devastatingly effective. In one November 2016 email,the luxury automaker Daimler told NDTV that it would not proceed with a marketing campaign because “there are people associated with the channel that are linked to anti-India stuff, by the public at large.”
A Daimler spokeswoman said Friday that the email did not reflect the company’s views and that the campaign had been rejected for economic reasons.
As money dried up, the station laid off hundreds of journalists. NDTV now gets much of its advertising from state governments, many of which are controlled by opposition parties.
‘Stay firmly with the national government’
Many within India’s news firmament have embraced Mr. Modi, sensing how much the popular mood has swung away from India’s founding secularism and toward Mr. Modi’s brand of strident Hindu nationalism. Right-wing TV anchors, led by Arnab Goswami of Republic TV, compete to outdo one another as the loudest Modi supporters.
As the government announced the crackdown in Kashmir, M.K. Anand, the managing director of Times Network, sent his editors a directive.
“We are India’s leading news broadcasters,” he wrote in a WhatsApp message, seen by The New York Times. “It is important that we stay firmly with the national government at this juncture instead of focusing on finding faults.”
The Modi government has been particularly concerned about broadcast media, which reach into every corner of the country. It has approved very few new TV channels, and even Bloomberg, the American media giant, has been unable to get a license, despite investing millions of dollars with its Indian partner.
In this environment, sharp criticism of Mr. Modi can end careers. After a host at the Hindi news channel ABP questioned the results of one of the prime minister’s initiatives to help poor farmers, the satellite transmission of the show was interrupted every time it was broadcast, said several people who worked at the station. The channel’s owners pressured the host, Punya Prasun Bajpai, to resign, and as soon as he left, the transmission interruptions stopped, the former employees said.
And after another ABP anchor, Abhisar Sharma, criticized Mr. Modi on live television about public safety, he was pulled off the air the same day. He, too, said he was pressured to quit.
Mr. Sharma then took to YouTube to broadcast his commentary, but pro-Modi trolls followed him into cyberspace. Every time he uploaded a video — and some drew millions of views — YouTube would receive thousands of complaints that he had made inappropriate remarks, Mr. Sharma said. The site’s algorithm then blocked any advertising revenue he would have made.
“You can’t escape them,” he said.
Attacking the messenger
Small-town journalists have come under government attack, as well.
Last August, Pawan Kumar Jaiswal, a part-time journalist who also ran a tiny mobile phone accessories shop, broke a story revealing how poor children in a school near Varanasi, Mr. Modi’s parliamentary constituency, were being fed only flatbread and salt for lunch — a clear violation of government nutrition rules.
After his short video went viral, a state education officer filed a criminal complaint against Mr. Jaiswal, accusing him of conspiracy, false evidence and cheating, a crime that can draw up to seven years in jail.
His source at the school was promptly arrested. Fearing he was next, Mr. Jaiswal fled to New Delhi, where he hid for several weeks.
“Sometimes I felt like committing suicide,’’ he said.
Even though an investigation eventually vindicated his reporting and the police dropped the charges against him, Mr. Jaiswal continues to be stalked by people connected to the school, he said.
He has reason to be afraid. Several Indian journalists have been killed in recent years, from a Kashmiri newspaper editor shot outside his office to a young journalist in Chhattisgarh found tied up in a forest.
“This is the life of a local reporter,” Mr. Jaiswal said.
The shutdown of Media One and another Kerala television station, Asianet News, in March was a new twist. Both stations broadcast in Malayalam, a local language spoken by less than 3 percent of Indians. And both channels had aired witness accounts that echoed what many other outlets aired during the violence in Delhi: that the police had done little to stop Hindu mobs as they rampaged against Muslims.
But the broadcast ministry claimed that what these two stations reported “could enhance the communal disharmony across the country.” After many complaints about the shutdown, the broadcasting minister, Mr. Javadekar, reversed the orders the next morning.
“Press freedom is absolutely essential in a democratic setup and that is the commitment of the Modi government,” Mr. Javadekar said at a news conference, implying that the orders had been issued without his consent.
“But let me also say,” he concluded, “that everybody accepts that it has to be a responsible freedom.”
Sameer Yasir, Shalini Venugopal and Hari Kumar contributed reporting.

Don’t show the letters to others. Someone made these letters specially for you, after all. Try not to open more than (X) letters a week. You don’t want to run out too early! Plus it’s fun to look forward to something special each week. However, if you’re having a hard week and truly need an extra letter, you’re allowed to break this rule.
This new book offers a look at the letters written to Everett Garrison, now archived at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum, and a glimpse into the lives of the people behind those letters. In my mind you were worth more than all the parties, free vodka, and crush-worthy professors in the world. We’d joke about how our friendship was a pseudo-relationship, because that’s how close we felt. I’d spend nights in your room, talking the night away as you played your music that was far too eccentric for my taste.

To William Lloyd Garrison. My dear Friend Garrison: In my letter to you from Belfast, I intimated my intention to say something more about Ireland; and although I feel like fulfilling my promise, the Liberator comes to me so laden with foreign correspondence, that I feel some hesitancy about increasing it.I shall, however, send you this, and if it is worth a place in your columns, I need.

As early as Garrison advanced the idea of disunion, arguing that the Constitution was "a covenant with death." Distressed by Calhoun's signing of the annexation treaty for Texas, he prophesied that civil war was inevitable.
Though plagued by illness and death in his immediate family throughout the years covered in this volume, Garrison drove himself to win supporters.
Kafka once wrote in a letter to a friend: “The books we need are of the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation — a book should serve as the ax for the.

Dear friend Nayem, I hope you are well by the grace of the Almighty. I am well too. Please convey my regards to your parents. It’s been long since I received your last letter. So I have thought of writing this letter. Today I want to inform you about a very inspiring book I have read recently.
I am sure you. The person that will visit another man's garrison must be outside and wait for a party invite. The host must be leader of the party. The one that is. Summary. A private letter from Phillips, addressing Douglass as "My Dear Friend," is sometimes included as an introduction to certain editions of the ps begins his letter by referring to the old fable of "The Man and the Lion," in which the lion states that he would no longer be misrepresented if he — and not the man — could tell his side of the story.
A charming little book. My daughter is 16 months old and she really likes it. It's unusual in that it is very simple and intended for a young audience (1 - 3 year olds by my estimate), but still has a lot of pages. So many books for this age group have, like 4 or 5 pages and take about 10 seconds to read.
This one is longer, which is very s: In that letter Nell claimed that Douglass had, at a recent meeting in Boston “misrepresented my sayings and doings”. Nell’s letter indicated that, in that meeting, he intended neither to “defend Garrison, or to offend Douglass”.
Readers may want to spend considerable more time in pondering the meaning of this exchange. “I enjoyed reading Leadership by The Book by my friend, Brent Garrison.

The son of LAPD Lt. Lou Vince, a contender for the June 2016 primary who earlier today sought the public’s help today in locating the boy, has been found.
Vince notified The Signal of the development within seconds of the The Signal posting news of the morning search.
Vince thanked the public with a “Found” update on Facebook, which reads; “Thanks to a Good Samaritan who didn’t think things looked right, Evan was found near the 14 and Sand Canyon at 10:50.”
Vince posted a “Missing” message on Facebook which reads: “Our 13-year-old, Evan Vince, ran away last night. He left from the area of Lewis Hill Drive and Kobe Road in Agua Dulce at 12:06 a.m. June 4, 2018.”
Vince and his wife, while worried for the well-being of their son, have taken some solace knowing he has been communicating with somebody on a tablet taken from the family’s home.
“That’s all we know, is that he’s been communicating with someone,” Vince told The Signal on Monday morning, noting Evan also took a toothbrush with him.
The Vince family posted on their Facebook message a black-and-white image taken from a porch surveillance camera:
“From our video, it looks as though he was wearing a light colored hoodie with a baseball cap and carrying a duffel bag, the Vince couple mentioned in the post.
Evan is described as a white male, blonde hair, blue eyes, 140 pounds with short hair and braces.
The post also noted: “A neighbor believes he saw him get into a small black car with a younger male around 2 a.m. in the area of 33301 Agua Dulce Canyon Road.”
Evan attends Sierra Vista Junior High at Soledad and Whites canyon roads and most of his friends live in the SCV.
“He took his mom’s tablet and I presume he is using it to communicate with someone, as it’s not likely he walked out of Agua Dulce,” Vince said. “The tablet is WiFi only, and we aren’t currently tracking it.”
Vince serves as a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Police Department.

UAF team praised for innovative home design
FAIRBANKS, AK – Using shipping containers and energy-efficient techniques, a team of students from the University of Alaska Fairbanks have created an award-winning new design for rural housing construction in Alaska.
The four students in the Solar Design Challenge class offered by the UAF Bristol Bay campus were among the top entries in an international competition sponsored by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in April. Later this summer, they hope to convince officials that their design could alleviate a housing shortage in Nome.
Team Asriavik — which means “blueberry” in Inupiaq — includes students Deilah Johnson, Aihs Palmer, Amanda Tördal and Meg Waite. When the team won third place in the New Housing division at NREL’s Solar Decathlon in Golden, Colorado last month, it was the first time they had been in the same room together. The distant group, which includes students from Fairbanks, Illinois and Oregon, met online throughout the spring semester.
The inspiration for their design came from Johnson, a 2019 alumnus of the Bristol Bay Campus Sustainable Energy Program and Solomon Village Environmental Coordinator. Many of Solomon’s displaced residents moved to Nome after a school closed in the 1950s, and they continue to face difficulties finding housing in the area.
“When she said they needed housing and this could be a real-world application, I could tell a lot of the other members of the student team were excited,” said assistant professor Mark Masteller. , who taught the class as part of the Bristol Bay Campus Sustainable Energy Program. . “They wanted to do something that someone wanted to build that might actually be useful in the world.”
The design combines practicality and efficiency. The skeleton of the structure is made up of shipping containers, an abundant resource in Nome thanks to cargo deliveries. This frame is surrounded by timber construction and built with features that include a 15 kilowatt rooftop solar system, air-source heat pumps, triple-glazed windows, and R-61 insulation.
The Alaska Center for Energy and Power and the Cold Climate Housing Research Center helped evaluate the design.
The three-bedroom house is also designed to be functional for the Nome climate and lifestyle. It includes a post-and-beam foundation, game processing room, and arctic entrance. The design details led the judges to announce at the awards ceremony that the UAF students understood their climate better than any other team.
The Solar Decathlon designs are “zero energy buildings,” which the U.S. Department of Energy defines as a structure that produces as much energy as it consumes for one year. Estimated annual energy costs would be only $240 per year, with construction expenses barely half the typical $500 per square foot costs in Nome.
Team Asriavik’s entry was UAF’s first in the Solar Decathlon competition. They faced an international field of 26 participants, including the winning team from Sydney, Australia.
The UAF team hopes the next step will be to make their design a reality for the Solomon tribesmen living in Nome.
Johnson will pitch the design to tribal officials this summer, hoping the homes could be approved for construction in 2023.
Although it can be difficult to use non-standard designs in government housing projects, Masteller believes the work of the students will ultimately make a difference to local residents.
“Even if the design isn’t accepted, it might convince them that a low-energy building is plausible in that area,” he said.

As we head into the final week of minor league baseball, the Bradenton Marauders hitters are comfortably leading the Florida State League in both batting average and OPS. They are also leading the league in runs scored and 3rd in homers. What I'm wondering though is if McKechnie Field is assisting in this offensive outburst or if the Marauders just have a great group of talented hitters.

Keeping a Language Alive
Ways of maintaining a language
Posted February 11, 2012
Post written by François Grosjean.
Some of us feel that we are no longer making progress in a language that we have learned. Others of us who have known and used a language for years may realize that we are no longer using it very much, or at all. We no longer need it to interact with others, nor do we need it in our studies or at work, or in our social activities. Whatever the reason, we may have become dormant bilinguals (see here) and we may even feel that we are starting to forget the language (see here). Although many of us allow our languages to follow their course, we are not always aware that there are ways of keeping a language alive—both in adults and in children—although special measures may be needed with the latter.
If adult language users are not, or are no longer, in contact with a community or a group that speaks the language (e.g. they have moved to another region or country), then various strategies are open to them to maintain the language. In addition to regular trips to the region or country, they can find friends with whom to practice their language. A more formal way, especially for foreign language learners, is to join a language group or club (e.g. a French club) which meets regularly and where its members speak together in that language. It can be combined with various activities such as seeing a movie, hosting a guest speaker, having a meal together, etc.
There are also so called language exchange (or Tandem) programs where two speakers of different languages meet and agree to speak each language half the time. For instance, someone who wants to practice her Spanish can meet a Spanish speaker who wants to practice her English. They take it in turn to use the other's language and hence get practice that way. Such exchanges can also take place on the internet, via Skype, for instance.
In a more passive way, but still at the level of the spoken language, one can watch TV programs or CDs in the language concerned, go on the internet and follow various news or entertainment programs, or put on some songs and sing along with them (this is great for pronunciation and rhythm).
At the level of reading and writing, all kinds of approaches are possible, such as keeping a diary in the language concerned, having a pen pal or friend, reading books and articles in the language, taking notes, etc.
Things are not quite as easy with children as one must create a real communicative need to keep a language alive. In a previous post (see here), I related how two American kids, Cyril and Pierre, came to live for a year in a small Swiss village and acquired French during their stay. The family returned to the United States at the end of the year and very soon English took over again and became dominant even though the family remained bilingual in English and French.
Since there was no language community on hand that spoke French (and no bilingual program in the local school), the parents decided to enforce a home language convention where only French would be spoken at home (both parents had originally come from France). However, like any parent in a bilingual family knows, this was easier said than done as the majority language—English—entered the home in multiple ways (peers and friends, homework, TV, DVDs, and so on).
So the parents, while doing their best to enforce the home language convention, devised other strategies. For example, they sought out newly arrived French-speaking families who had children the same age as their boys, and they organized get-togethers with them to see if they got along. It worked with one or two children and thus, for several months, while the latter were learning English, both Cyril and Pierre had monolingual French-speaking friends to talk to and play with.
The parents also invited some of the friends the two boys had made in Switzerland to come and visit. Since they were monolingual in French, Cyril and Pierre didn't have any choice but to speak French with them. In addition, the parents had French-speaking friends and relatives come and stay; this bolstered the presence of the home language in a natural way.
The parents had learned quite rapidly that forcing children to keep to just one language when they themselves, the parents, are bilingual can lead to frustration on both sides, especially if it is the weaker language that has to be spoken. Invariably, the children revert back to their stronger language. Thus Cyril and Pierre's parents created situations where there was a real need for the weaker language; it worked well and both boys retained their French. In later years, they went on to acquire other languages.

"The energy is transmitted. If one feels it, the public perceives it in the painting." ~Daniella Sukaczer, p98 The unparalleled competition showcase for outstanding acrylic artists! Creative energy is the driving force of what it means to be an artist, and how an artist chooses to use that energy is what sets one apart from the others. Some may choose energetic brush strokes creating movement that seems to dance across the canvas. Others may select colors that represent a feeling behind their emotional energy for a particular work. Or creative energy may take a more behind-the-scenes role, where only the artist knows the source of inspiration. The 6th competition book in the AcrylicWorks series, this volume delivers another show of the best in contemporary acrylic painting, selected from an international call for entries. A rousing blend of instruction and inspiration, these pages feature: • 127 stunning acrylic and mixed-media paintings by 120+ accomplished artists • Insights from the artists themselves, revealing the hows and whys behind each piece • Focus on the power of creative energy, creative solutions, effective approaches and bold techniques • A variety of subjects–from still life and abstracts to people, animals and landscapes–portrayed in an equally glorious range of stylesA treat for artists and art lovers alike, AcrylicWorks 6 invites you to study these modern-day masterpieces, analyze them…or simply sit back and wonder at their incredible skill and artistry.

Devon’s far-reaching flu campaign to get young children vaccinated has been praised for increasing uptake.
Latest figures show that hundreds more youngsters aged two and three across the county had the nasal vaccination last winter than in previous years.
This was helped by a Devon NHS publicity campaign, in partnership with the parents of Sam Morrish, a three-year-old Newton Abbot boy who died after contracting flu.
The campaign featured a short film focusing on Monkey, Sam’s favourite cuddly toy, who called on parents to heed the warnings about flu.
Sam died from severe sepsis, which involves a dramatic reaction by the body's immune system to an infection. It can develop quickly, damaging vital organs.
His sepsis resulted from him getting common flu, and his parents Scott and Sue are keen for other children to avoid suffering the same fate.
To help publicise the importance of the flu vaccination for children, the Morrishes worked with the local NHS to create an unforgettable mini movie for Facebook that was seen by more than 150,000 people.
Monkey’s message was heard by thousands of parents, with many more young children receiving the vaccination than in previous winters.
The uptake increased from 40.2 percent of the two-year-old population in January 2017 to 45.8 percent in January 2018.
There was a similar increase for three-year-olds, up from 42.6 percent in January 2017 to 47.3 percent in January 2018.
Sue Morrish said: “We’re really pleased that the campaign featuring Sam’s Monkey has been so successful. It seemed to inspire a lot of support, as well as a lot of thought and action from parents.
“I’m really grateful to everyone who shared the video to spread the message about quick and simple needle-free vaccinations against flu being available for children.
“The effects of flu can sometimes be very serious, so we urge all parents to consider having their children vaccinated during the flu season. I would love to see if we can get the take-up figures even higher this winter.”
The video featuring Sam and Monkey was also shared widely via Twitter, as well as appearing on local TV, radio and in newspapers, and was posted on Devon’s two NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs).
The average number of visitors to the CCGs’ flu webpages increased from around 50 per day to more than 250 – a 400 percent increase.
Shelagh McCormick, a Devon GP, said: “The fact that the campaign has had such a positive effect is wonderful news.
“Flu can be a very unpleasant illness for children, with potentially serious complications, including bronchitis and pneumonia.
“For children with long-term health conditions such as asthma and diabetes, it is especially important that they are vaccinated because they are more likely to get complications from flu.”
Devon’s GP practices are now gearing up to start their flu campaigns next month. The children's flu vaccine is offered as a yearly nasal spray squirted up each nostril of young children. It is quick, painless, and works even better in children than the injected flu vaccine.
The vaccine is absorbed very quickly. It will still work even if, after the vaccination, the child develops a runny nose, sneezes or blows their nose.
Vaccinating children also helps to protect other members of the community who are vulnerable to flu – for example, older people, babies, and pregnant women – because vaccinated children won’t pass the virus to other people.

Shaheed Dr Milon Day today Shaheed Dr Milon Day will be observed across the country today commemorating the 29th martyrdom anniversary of Dr Shamsul Alam Khan Milon, the then joint secretary general of Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA), reports BSS. Dr Milon, who was also a teacher of Dhaka Medical College (DMC), was killed by the goons of military junta near the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University at the height of anti-autocracy movement on the day in 1990.
The supreme sacrifice of Dr Milon transformed the anti-autocracy movement into a mass upsurge that prompted the fall of the then autocratic regime paving the way for restoration of democracy in the country. On the eve of the day, President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina issued separate messages recalling the supreme sacrifice of Dr Milon for the cause of restoration of democracy.
In his message, the President said Dr Milon was a bright star in democratic movement of Bangladesh. Democracy was restored in 1990 in exchange of sacrifice of many people’s lives like Dr Milon’s, he said, adding the democracy-seeking people will remember the contributions of the martyrs with due respect forever.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in her message, paid rich tribute to the memory of Dr Milon on his 29th martyrdom anniversary. During the movement for restoring democracy, she said, many avenues across the country, including in the capital city, were colored with the blood of numerous democracy-loving people, including Jubo League leader Nur Hossain, Nurul Huda, Babul and Fattah.
Through the sacrifice of Milon’s life, the democratic movement had got a new motion, toppling the autocratic regime with the resignation of the autocratic ruler, the premier added. President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul of Dr Milon.
Different political parties, socio-cultural organisations and professional bodies have chalked out elaborate programmes to mark the day. The programmes include offering fateha and special prayers, placing wreaths at the grave of Dr Milon on DMC campus and at Milon Smrity Chattar (Square) near TSC of Dhaka University, and holding discussions.

Youth Committee elections will be held in The Foróige Drum Youth Centre in MacDonagh Junction shopping centre on December 1 from 3-5pm.
For anyone in third to sixth year in school who may be interested in having a say in the running of their local youth centre, who may enjoy organising activities for their peers, who would be good for voicing the opinion of themselves and their peers and who would enjoy a new challenge which would be fun, interesting and a way of making new friends, this is an ideal opportunity.
Being a Youth Committee member would first involve coming to the elections and learning of the role that being a member would be. Then if elected it would involve attending a weekly hour-long meeting with the committee of 10 young people where activities would be planned and organised and the format of the running of weekly events both in and outside of The Drum would be decided.
It is an opportunity to develop organisational, leadership and communication skills, and most importantly to build confidence in ability to speak up for yourself and others in a safe, productive environment.
