Legislature OKs $318.64M plan
Taxes hiked 1.7 percent; county executive and clerk get salary boosts
Published 10:06 pm, Monday, December 2, 2013
The raises for the two Republicans were deplored by the Democrats and defended by the GOP.
"It's unconscionable to vote for a budget that has raises for elected and appointed officials," said Democratic Minority Leader Peter Grimm of Troy.
Republican Legislator Michael Stammel of Rensselaer said: "We need to pay people to do their jobs."
The County Legislature voted 12-7 to approve the budget as Legislator Richard Slaisbury, R-Schaghticoke, joined the six Democrats in voting against the spending plan.
Democrats had been critical of the raises placed in the budget for Jimino, Merola and their key deputies. Jimino's salary will climb $9,300 to $121,300, while Merola's will go up $7,000 to $102,000.
Jimino and Merola ran unopposed for re-election in November.
"I believe that the salary increases proposed in October when I presented the 2014 budget are fair and appropriate especially when considering the work the individuals perform and when considering the pay of similar positions in this and other counties, other local governments and not for profits throughout the region," Jimino said in a statement about the raises following the adoption of the budget.
Jimino will remain the lowest-paid of the elected and appointed officials leading Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady counties. It is Jimino's first raise in eight years.
County Legislature Chairman Martin Reid, R-Sand Lake, said Jimino presented her reasons for the raises to the Republican caucus and the Republican legislators accepted Jimino's position.
The County Legislature trimmed $100,000 from Jimino's original budget proposed in October. Due to this spending reduction, the 2014 tax increase was cut to 1.73 percent, compared with an original rise of 1.92 percent. The county tax levy will go up 0.75 percent instead of 0.92 percent, which is under the state cap of 1.66 percent.
Legislator Kathleen Cassidy, D-Troy, said the county must scrutinize its budgeting and seek expense reductions by sharing services and undertaking other programs.
"The taxpayers cannot support this type of government any longer," Cassidy said.
Reid said no one wanted to increase property taxes. He said the county remained far below the levy tax cap.
"The county executive didn't want to do it. We didn't want to do it," Reid said before casting his vote to pass the budget.
Jimino said it provides vital local services while protecting county taxpayers.

Super Rugby - Highlanders
Joseph safe at Highlanders
July 17, 2013
Jamie Joseph has held the Highlanders reins since 2010 © Getty Images
A review has already begun into the worst season in the Highlanders' 18-year history.
The disastrous campaign ended in meltdown last Friday when the Highlanders surrendered a 31-7 half-time lead to lose to the Melbourne Rebels in Melbourne. The Highlanders finished 14th, ahead only of the new Southern Kings franchise in Port Elizabeth, and general manager Roger Clark said the review process would be similar to previous years.
The review of the coaches should be completed by the middle of next month but the Highlanders will be sticking with Jamie Joseph as head coach. Clark said Joseph had signed for two years and that would not change. He would not comment on speculation Joseph has a clause in his contract that he cannot be dropped because of on-field results. Joseph took over from Glen Moore after a poor season in 2010 in which the Highlanders won only three games and lost 10. This year they won three and lost 13.
Assistant coaches Scott McLeod and Jon Preston have just completed their first seasons with the Highlanders. Both have two-year contracts, McLeod with the New Zealand Rugby Union and Preston with the Highlanders.
Hosea Gear, Kade Poki and Jamie Mackintosh are confirmed losses while the Highlanders also seem resigned to Colin Slade returning to the Crusaders. Ma'a Nonu also seems unlikely to return. He was offered a contract extension in April but has yet to sign.
It was a season of unwanted records for the Highlanders - the most games lost (13), the most points conceded (496), the most tries conceded (55) and the worst points differential (minus 122).
The Highlanders developed an alarming habit of switching off in the second half of games. They led the Blues 29-0 and the Hurricanes 32-13 and only just managed to hold on to win before they squandered a 24-point lead against the Rebels last weekend.
The Highlanders were bottom of the Super 12 in 1997 but that was a young squad and there were clear signs of improvement, which were displayed when they vaulted to the semi-finals in 1998 and the final in 1999.
This season's squad included 12 past or present All Blacks, some in the twilight of their careers, and that is a major concern for the Highlanders as they try to regroup for the 2014 campaign.

When you have a child who needs extra support in school, it can feel extremely overwhelming! You need to understand your child’s needs and you also have to understand how to get them the support they require. When your child has a disability there are two formal/legal ways you can get extra support in school. A 504 is under the American’s with Disabilities Act and is a general education support process. An IEP (Individualized Education Program) is falls under a law called IDEIA (The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004) and is a special education process. First, we will review information relevant to special education.
To receive special education services, first your child has to meet legal requirements. There are two primary criteria that need to be met. First, it needs to be determined that your child requires special education services to access the general education curriculum. Second, your child needs to meet criteria for one of the following:
Serious Emotional Disability
Other Health Impairment (including ADHD)
Specific Learning Disability
Speech or Language Impairment
Traumatic Brain Injury
Visual Impairment, Including Blindness
Infant/Toddler with a Disability
If your child has an IEP, there are a variety of services they may utilize depending on their need and what is agreed to at their IEP meeting. The IEP meeting consists of parents and school staff who gather once a year to review your child’s progress toward goals developed the previous year. Once every 3 years your child undergoes an evaluation to determine whether they continue to meet criteria to receive special education services. Each year goals and services are decided upon based on your child’s area of disability and needs.
There are a variety of services your child could receive and since they are individualized for your child, their is no way to have a comprehensive list here. That said, there are some examples that can be given. Your child may be pulled out for services to spent time with special education teachers. They may be in a class with other kids who are also in special education. They may receive all learning in the general education environment, but meet with the school psychologist or social worker for counseling. They may have a Behavior Intervention Plan developed to assist them in learning more positive behaviors. This is just a small list of the variety of support kids who have an IEP could receive.
Goals are specific to your child’s needs are area of disability. For example, if your child has a reading disability, he or she may get extra reading support with a special education teacher (hopefully with an Orton-Gillingham based program). If your child has ADHD, he or she may get movement breaks, quiet and extended time for tests, and extra support for organization.
Under a 504 there is not a list of disabling conditions for which your child would qualify. Instead, a person with a disability is one who “has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities, has record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.” 34 C.F.R. 104.3(j)(1).
With a 504, interventions tend to be less comprehensive or intense. 504 plans are helpful for kids who do not require special education support to access the general education curriculum. For example, they may need extra time on tests, but do not require to be pulled out for specialized reading support. These kids may need extra time on the ACT or SAT, but do not need a modified curriculum to enable them to access their education.
At MVP we conduct a lot of evaluations to determine whether people have a learning disability, ADHD, or Autism. When a child or teen receives a diagnosis, often times one of the recommendations moving forward is to share the report with the child’s school to assist in the development of a 504 or IEP.
Special education law includes, support for those birth through when a teen graduated high school (or a maximum age of 22). Once out of k-12 education, those who received special education services fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act. College campuses around the country have centers on campus where people who have a disability can go to access services. For example, they may have access to audio texts, extended time on tests, or the ability to test in a quiet environment. Accommodations allow a more level playing field for people with diagnosed disabilities at all levels of education.
I hope this article was helpful in navigating what can be a confusing system!

Infiniti Music Cube
Last updated on November 15th, 2015 at 12:08 pm
Have you ever been to a gig and left thinking, ‘You know what, I enjoy the way I watch live music, but come to think of it, what if it was done differently? What if the artist was in a giant sound proof box and you listened from the outside through headphones?’. Well you’d probably get told you’re crazy, be left alone in the corner of the room at a party you don’t really want to be at… WELL NOT ANYMORE!
We headed down to Westfield shopping centre to check out what was rumoured to change the way we watch and listen, to live music. Infiniti’s Music Cube was in all shapes and forms a completely new way to experience live music. Housed in a glass cube, surrounded by an audience who have all been given headphones to experience the music, while feeling the music through air-blast flooring. It was most certainly something else.
We were lucky enough to see the likes of Professor Green perform in this rare experience, and even though it was the most full on silent disco we’ve ever been to, the enjoyment of the music didn’t really take too much of a hit. The sound quality was far more clear than through the giant speakers at concert venues and it almost felt a little more personal, a bit like the performance was just for you. Plus, it’s utterly hilarious to take your headphones off and listen to the rest of the crowd signing horrendously out of tune in what seems like silence to the disgust of onlooking shoppers. All in all an enjoyable experience and well worth going to if you get the chance.
The Infiniti Music Cube was at both London Westfield’s throughout October hosting a whole range of acts from Brit school students to chart toppers. That’s it for immediate plans but we were told not to be surprised if it makes more of a permanent home in the future.

Fly-fishing guide Anthony Carruesco, of AC Flyfishing.com in Redding, sent out an email this week with a report and photos about the fire burning in and around his hometown. Anthony has guided a lot of Sonomans on the Sac and nearby rivers.
Here is his report:
“For those of you who are unaware, there has been a ferocious fire burning in and around our hometown of Redding, CA for the past six days. This fire has already burned nearly 100k acres and is still only 20 percent contained.
“We have received an overwhelming number of calls and messages over the past few days from our clients and friends looking to help anyway they can. We are blown away at how many of you have reached out.
“Luckily, my family and our guides live on the east side of town which is currently out of harm’s way of the fire.
“Currently, the fire is making its way south, southwest away from town and the river. There were some pretty jaw-dropping images in town when the fire made its strongest push into western Redding on Thursday evening.
“As some of you know who have experienced these events close to home, it can be pretty devastating watching your community surrounded by flames. Although still not good, we’re lucky the fires have started to move into some of the more undeveloped areas. All the men and women involved with fighting these fires have been working their tails off to keep it from getting into the heart of the town.
“Smoky conditions will persist in all of the north state for weeks to come. As of this morning, the smoke is pretty mild on the water. No telling how long these fires will last. With that being said we are still running our trips on the river this week and expecting good to great fishing, especially with the opening of the ‘upper river.’ Please feel free to reach out with any questions for updates.”
You can keep in touch with Anthony by email at email@example.com.
If you want to stay out of the smoke, fishing off the Sonoma Coast and inside San Francisco Bay are excellent choices.
A healthy combination of salmon, rock and lingcod are being caught on party boats out of Bodega Bay and through the Golden Gate. Call Capt. Rick Powers at Bodega Bay Sportsfishing for reservations at 875-3344.
Inside the Bay your best contact is Keith Fraser at Loch Lomond Bait Shop in San Rafael. Keith reports the halibut fishing is producing lots of action for anglers. Striped bass and some salmon are also being caught. Fishing overall inside the Nay is outstanding right now. Keith books Bay fishing party boats; call him at (415) 456-0321.

With only a little over a month until Paramount + Joe Mantegna, Adam Rodriguez, AJ Cook, Aisha Tyler, Paget Brewster, Kirsten Vangsnessand Zach Gilford– featuring Criminal Minds: Evolution returns for its 16th season after a little “hiatus”, we get an interesting visual update on how filming is going. Taking to Twitter, Mantegna shared a look at a production/shoot card confirming Tyler was directing. But it was the little doll-like hands that took us to the internet to figure out why it reminded us of someone. And then we were reminded Jennifer Hasty‘s Samantha Malcolm, a “collector” serial killer with a doll fixation who appeared in Season 5 Episode 12, “The Uncanny Valley.” Of course, chances are we’re way off the mark, so we’ll leave that up to you.
Paramount + Criminal Minds: Evolution returns with its first two episodes on Thursday, November 24. Afterwards, new episodes will air weekly on Thursdays until the mid-season finale on Thursday, December 15. After a hiatus, the season returns on Thursday, January 12, with all-new episodes airing weekly until the finale on Thursday, February 9. Now here’s a preview of Mantegna’s tweet posted earlier today:
Now, here’s a look at some other previously released preview images for the first two episodes (S16E01 “Just Getting Started” and S16E02 “Sicarius”):
To help viewers keep up to date, the cast and showrunner, executive producer and writer Erica Messer sitting with EO for a pretty comprehensive look at what viewers can expect. Messer explains how some missing familiar faces like Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), and Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) will be discussed. But first, Mantegna and Brewster explain where David Rossi and Emily Prentiss are in their respective lives when the show returns (along with their three-word teaser on what fans can expect.
Rossi’s return will be ‘in strange circumstances’ – Mantegna: “We’re going to find out that Rossi arrived under strange circumstances… in the sense that it’s no secret that he was one of the guys who started the BAU with Gideon [Mandy Patinkin]. You’re going to find that out because of what’s happened over the last few years, and the fact that there’s been this time off and things have happened [and] changed – not just in the BAU, but with the world – that there was a drama. A bit of drama. It will show.” (“Glad. We’re. Back.”)
Emily feels pressure to ‘try to protect everyone in the BAU’ – Brewster: “[Emily is] trying to go toe to toe with the FBI Director to ensure the BAU has the resources it needs to operate effectively, but it is shut down again and again due to budget cuts. She is therefore in a very delicate position because she recognizes the help that the BAU needs, but how can she achieve this? And if she does, is she crossing a line with her job responsibilities? She feels the anxiety of not being there and tries to protect everyone in the BAU. So that’s kind of the question we start to unpack in the first two episodes: how is this going to play out? And who is this big bad serial killer? (“Buckle up, folks”? I’m trying to think. “Get the wheels on, folks”?)
Characters who were unable to return for revival will not be forgotten“So their offices will still have stuff on them. They haven’t left. Shemar’s character left when his son was born. He walked away from the FBI, so his office has been empty for a while. But Dr. Reed office still has all of his books on it and all of his stuff Almost that same time capsule that… I don’t know if any of you went back to the office, but it’s a weird experience because everything that was important to you in March 2020 is still sitting on this desk and must not have been so important because he is still sitting on this desk so we want that connection to still be with Dr Reed and Matt Simmons [Daniel Henney], who is also on another mission. It’s something you can’t really discuss. But if and when they return is up to them. It depends on their schedules. I can’t promise anything at this time. But that’s the hope.” – Messer

The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of flagship vehicles manufactured by
German automotive marque Mercedes-Benz. Premiering in September 1979 as the
successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of
the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name referring to
Sonderklasse or "special class." The W126 was initially offered in
straight-6, V8, and turbo diesel sedan
models. In September 1981, 2-door coupé versions of the W126 were
introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic,
fuel efficient, capacious, and powerfully engined. The W126 S-Class debuted
a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other
vehicles in the company's lineup. The W126 line also introduced many
Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental
restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.
The W126 had a twelve-year production run between 1979 and 1991, the
longest of any S-Class generation since the flagship models were first
built in the mid-1950s
Following the debut of the 1970s generation W116 (which also included the
flagship Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9), Mercedes-Benz began plans for the
next-generation S-Class model in October 1973. Codenamed "project W126,"
the project had specific goals: an improved ride, better handling, and
improved fuel efficiency. These improvements were aimed at helping
retain the S-Class' market leadership as the world's best-selling prestige
luxury sedan. Following the 1970s oil crisis, Mercedes-Benz had made
fuel efficiency an especially pertinent goal (named "Energy Program"),
even in the large V8 engined versions of the S-Class.
In terms of the body design, the objective of the W126 design team, led by
Mercedes-Benz's Bruno Sacco, was to produce a car that was sleeker and more
aerodynamic than the previous model. The application of lighter materials
and alloys combined with thorough wind tunnel testing to reduce overall
drag meant the car consumed about 10% less fuel than its predecessor.
The maximum speed was also increased (250 km/h in the most powerful
After six years of development, the W126 was formally introduced at the
Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (International Motor Show, or IAA) in
Frankfurt on September 1979. The initial lineup featured seven models in
standard (SE, SD) and long (SEL, SDL) wheelbase sedan body styles: the 280
SE/SEL, 380 SE/SEL, 500 SE/SEL and 300 SD. Technically, the long-wheelbase
(SEL) variants were codenamed V126, but this was not popularly known. In
1981, the coupé version (SEC) of the W126 S-Class premiered at the IAA
with the 500 SEC model. In 1981, Wheels Magazine selected the W126 model
380 SE as its Car of the Year.
Four years after the introduction of the fuel-efficiency "Energy Program,"
the model range had been reworked completely. In September 1985, again at
the IAA in Frankfurt, the reworked model range was reintroduced. Apart from
visual changes to the bumpers, side covers and alloys, the changes made to
the available collection of engine variants was most visible. Two newly
constructed 6-cylinder engines and new 4.2 and 5.6 litre V8's were added,
and other engines were further upgraded.
The W126 generation was replaced by the W140 in 1991, although a satellite
factory in South Africa is known to have continued production until 1994.
The different body styles of the W126 S-Class achieved a combined sales
total of 892,123 units (818,063 sedans and 74,060 coupés), making the W126
the most popular S-Class ever produced

There are several procedures which might be used in pain management. The various procedures cover anything from conservative non-invasive treatments to surgery. The type of treatment used is dependent upon the level of pain as well as the cause. Most doctors treat lower back pain with the simple non-medical treatments first, before turning to medication and other procedures. The patient's specific condition will determine the process that will be the most appropriate, but doctors will usually begin with all the treatment plans that are not invasive.
Professor Fonarow states numerous studies had demonstrated that many of these medications are associated with an increased probability of cardiovascular events, especially if used for an extended duration of time and higher doses. It is still unclear for the extent with the risk and the way the cardiovascular risk can deviate between different NSAIDs. Dr. Fonarow failed to take part in the study.
Other patients have to have a laminectomy, which involves removal of the complete lamina. Most doctors usually do not recommend surgery to deal with back pain due to the risks involved. If, however, it is necessary, they should ensure that the patient is in a wholesome enough condition to extract fully. Surgery is often restricted to people who are healthy and relatively younger, because they are more likely to have complete recovery.
Other patients need a laminectomy, involving removal of the complete lamina. Most doctors usually do not recommend surgery to treat back pain because of the risks involved. If, however, it's important, they need to ensure that the sufferer is in a healthy enough condition to recoup fully. Surgery is often restricted to people who are healthy and relatively younger, since they are more likely to have complete recovery.
One of the first treatment plans suited for those struggling with back pain is exercise. It is usually used once the patient has mild to moderate lumbar pain. The exercises used mostly are non-weight exercises that are recommended by physiotherapists. It is important to not put an excessive amount of pressure on the back throughout the exercises. Water exercises or swimming usually are especially beneficial.
Those who have went through various pain management procedures without experiencing relief routinely have to go through surgery. There are different surgery done with respect to the location from the problem and also the condition of the patient. Patients with disk problems often get the discectomy procedure, that involves removing a portion in the disc nucleus to relive pressure.

UFC Vegas 56: Things We Learned
UFC Vegas 56 was another successful night of fights from the UFC Apex. In the fourteen bouts, we saw nine finishes. Five of these finishes came via KO/TKO while the other four were submissions. Most importantly, we saw the outcome of important fights while getting to see some prospects and UFC debutants in action. Here is what we learned during UFC Vegas 56.
Alexander Volkov is still an elite heavyweight
Coming into UFC Vegas 56 there were questions about where Alexander Volkov stood in the UFC heavyweight division. He did not look at his best against Tom Aspinall at UFC London but he turned the ship around with his first-round knockout win against Jairzinho Rozenstruik. During the fight, Volkov did a great job of managing range and using his kicks. He was eventually able to find a finish after landing a powerful straight right. Any questions regarding Volkov’s position in the heavyweight division have been answered. At a minimum, Volkov established that he is still a top 10 heavyweight. Moving forward, he will attempt to climb to the top of the heavyweight rankings once again.
Movsar Evloev is going to be a problem at featherweight
Movsar Evloev was the biggest winner at UFC Vegas 56. The prospect improved his record to 16-0 after earning a win over UFC veteran Dan Ige. Not only did Evloev win but he did so in impressive fashion. Coming into this fight everyone knew that Evloev was one of the best grapplers in the division. Against Ige, he proved that he can hang with skilled fighters on the feet. In the first two rounds, Evloev landed a lot of really good strikes. This was headlined by a counter knee in round one that hurt Ige. The only reason Evloev did not control round three on the feet was because he opted to do it on the ground. It is safe to say that Evloev has championship potential and will be a problem for anyone at featherweight.
Askar Mozharov looked more like 19-12 than 25-7
During UFC Vegas 56 fight week, Askar Mozharov was hit with some record adjustments that dropped his record from 25-7 to 19-12. After his loss to Alonzo Menifield, he sits at 19-13. Coming into his UFC debut, Mozharov had a decent amount of hype. His knockout power made people interested in his potential in the UFC. With that being said, he did not look great against Menifield. He threw some big shots but Menifield was able to stay out of danger in exchanges. More importantly, Mozharov clearly does not have UFC caliber grappling which led to a TKO loss. I would not be surprised if Mozharov is cut, but it is more probable that he fights out his UFC contract against low-level fighters and debutants.
Erin Blanchfield will be fighting ranked competition soon
Erin Blanchfield opened UFC Vegas 56 with a standing guillotine choke finish in round two against JJ Aldrich. Blanchfield is now 9-1 in her career. The one loss is to No. 15 ranked Tracy Cortez in Invicta FC. Her UFC record is 3-0 with wins over established competition like Aldrich and Miranda Maverick. Blachfield has shown to be well-rounded with above-average wrestling. Her next fight will either be against a ranked opponent or someone just outside of the rankings. At worst, Blanchfield is one win away from fighting ranked competition.

Murder of Jane McCrea
David Lubin explains the ideological significance of Native Americans at the time Vanderlyn painted The Murder of Jane McCrea :
“In this propagandistic painting, the American Indian symbolizes the brutality of the colonists’ enemy, England. Vanderlyn depicts Indians as quaint curiosities, gentle spirits, or awestruck children of nature in paintings such as his early landscape views of Niagara Falls (1801-1803) and, toward the end of his career, The Landing of Columbus. In all of these works, however, the Indian obviously conveys some political, racial, or ideological meaning.
Before departing for Paris in 1796, Vanderlyn had been a devoted participant in a New York democratic workingman’s club, the Tammany Society, which was named for the legendary Indian sachem Tammany, or Tamenud. Club members dressed themselves in Indian costume, concocted secret rites that emulated Indian traditions, called themselves by Indian names, and employed Indian phrases as code words --- all as a means of setting themselves apart from the aristocratic, English pretentions of the Federalist clubs….Thus, by Vanderlyn’s time it was common for political democrats to identify themselves – albeit superficially – with the American Indian.”
David M. Lubin, “Ariadne and the Indians: Vanderlyn’s Neoclassical Princess, Racial Seduction and the Melodrama of Abandonment,” Smithsonian Studies in American Art, vol. 3, no. 2 (Spring 1989): 13-14.
Samuel Edgerton explains the fate of Vanderlyn’s Jane McCrea :
“The Murder of Jane McCrea was submitted to the Paris salon of that year  and became the first indigenous American history ever to be accepted. Although overshadowed by Baron Gros’s oversized Plague Victims of Jaffa, Vanderlyn’s work was sufficiently Davidian in composition and anti-English by implication to win academic approval….
Today, the Vanderlyn painting is the best known representation of the event and is recognized as an outstanding American contribution to the Neoclassical tradition. Unfortunately, in its own time it elicited little comment. Following the 1804 salon, the artist shipped it back to New York where it hung in the old Academy of Fine Arts until 1842, coming a few years later into the possession of the Hartford Atheneum where it has remained since. Vanderlyn hoped that its exhibition in this country would bring about an elevation of taste – a new world appreciation of the old world heritage of art. That this dream, as we know, was to be sadly premature is foreordained to some extent by the fate of this painting, for Vanderlyn’s representation…did not even become the principal source for later pictorial versions of the same subject.
Although Vanderlyn’s painting began as an illustration for the Columbiad – the basic ‘iconographical’ source…it was the insipid engraving by Robert Smirke which finally accompanied the published text that was to inspire most subsequent representations….From the position of academic acceptability for tableau d’histoire [history painting] to which Vanderlyn had elevated it, the subject fell to the limbo of broadsides and book-plates, pandering to the egregious nineteenth century penchant for sentiment.”

By The Nation
Of all the things the bride- and groom-to-be have to cope with in planning History’s Most Excellent Wedding, the pre-wedding shoot has emerged in recent years as the most testing.
Easing the situation – or complicating it, depending on your point of view – is the fact that, most of the time, it’s the bride who calls the shots on how the shots are handled.
She’ll drag her soon-to-be-husband off to spend a day or two at the photographer’s studio. The man with the camera, a trained professional, will tell them over and over to gaze endearingly into one another’s eyes and please ignore his assistant’s occasional snigger.
The betrothed do their awkward best to look like the model couples in the mail-order catalogues. They’re aware the pictures aren’t going to come out quite right, but they’ll obey every clich้ command and strike every obvious assembly-line pose just so they can end the agony sooner.
And then there’s Coco and Christian. They wanted to do the pre-nup publicity differently and, boy, did they succeed. Their photographer, from the very deliberately named Narakorn Prewedding Studio, shared the pictures on Facebook last week and everyone was agog – in a nice way. Evidently many damsels in event-planning distress are keen to get the same treatment ahead of their weddings.
The photographer reveals only that Christian is a Danish businessman who’s found his true love in Coco, a native of Sisaket in the Northeast. “When we asked them where they wanted to do the shoot, they said they wanted to do it at home. I thought they meant Denmark!”
Hah hah. No, they meant Sisaket, but they did have a different surprise for the cameraman -– no wedding gown or tuxedo, no Barbie and Ken. They wanted to be photographed in costume and settings as Kwan and Riam, the doomed lovers in the classic Thai romantic tragedy “Plae Kao” (“The Scar”).
So Coco put on two pieces of cloth as a chong kraben and popped a flower in her hair. Christian is even more frugal in his attire, clad just in farmer’s short pants and a cotton scarf. His ample tummy is on ample display.
Coco’s family had a rice paddy handy and the day was sunny and hot enough to melt hearts. An albino water buffalo joined them. The pictures seem to come from one of the many movie adaptations of “Plae Kao”. Coco and Christian dip their toes in a pond and cuddle behind a pile of hay. And, yes, they do gaze into each other’s eyes in several frames. But the best shot features Christian “asking for Coco’s hand” in front of a crackling fire as the night turns cool.
Sweet nostalgia! The photos are beautiful to look at and earned rave reviews. “The most darling pre-wedding shoot I’ve ever seen,” one woman gushed.
It’s clear enough that Coco wanted to show Christian a good old-fashioned slice of Isaan rural life. We have to wonder, though, if she wasn’t also giving him a hint about all the hard work that lies ahead once he says his “I do”.

VANCOUVER, July 13, 2020 — A partnership between Dalhousie University’s College of Continuing Education in Halifax, Nova Scotia and blocksEDU leads to new programming to upskill and reskill people in two growing, global industries – blockchain and sustainable energy technologies (SET). This partnership brings together the academic excellence and leadership of Dalhousie University’s College of Continuing Education with the curriculum development and delivery expertise in emerging technologies of blocksEDU.
“We are very excited to announce that Dalhousie University is working with blocksEDU on delivering courses in Sustainable Energy Technology (SET) and blockchain,” blocksEDU CEO, Wayne Van Damme states. “Our mission is to deliver quality credentialed education in emerging technologies. Through our partnership with Dalhousie University we are one step closer to delivering on that mission.”
“The team at blocksEDU are experts in these two growing and in-demand industries. We are pleased to partner with blocksEDU to offer learning opportunities that give people a chance to learn new skills in cutting-edge technologies to re-enter the workforce or change careers,” said Dr. Dianne Tyers, Dean of Dalhousie University’s College of Continuing Education.
Both the blockchain and sustainable energy certificates will be offered online starting this September. Each certificate consists of three modules that can be taken beginning in September and completed by the end of February. They will provide the knowledge needed to upskill or make a career move. As well, they will prepare participants to write the relevant certification exam for each industry if desired.
“Blockchain tops the list of most in-demand job skills for the year 2020 according to LinkedIn,” says George Levy, Division Head Blockchain for blocksEDU. “Blockchain technology is establishing itself as an essential technology across many industries. As just one high-profile example, ‘Blockchain Managers’ have been named ‘Critical Infrastructure Workers’ during the pandemic according to the Department of Homeland Security of the United States.”
“As maritime provinces currently lead the nation in wind power and plan to exponentially increase clean energy projects this decade, we can’t imagine a better partner than Dalhousie University to educate the workforce needed for this clean energy transformation,” said Cameron Jones, Division Head, Innovation and Sustainability for blocksEDU. “Atlantic Canada has one of the fastest growing clean-energy sectors in North America, already employing over 47,000 environmental and renewable-energy industry-related jobs in the region.”

You have to not feel good about this game. Temple is a well-coached team. They are kind of like Air Force last week, they have plenty of video from this season to watch on Navy. Meanwhile, the Mids have nothing on the Owls from this season. Owl QB Anthony Russo, who passed for 2,861 yds 2019, could be a big problem. Navy plays this one close but Temple prevails.

By Ram Puniyani, 10 March, 2006, Countercurrents.org
Beginning this twenty Fourth February, RSS combine has undertaken programs in different parts of the country to celebrate the centenary year of RSS second Sarsnghchalak (supreme dictator), Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, known in Sangh circles as Shri Guruji. What are going to be the implications of this celebration? To answer this, we will have to delve into the work of Golwlakar, who penned a small book, ‘We or our Nationhood Defined’ (We…), which gives an outline of his ideology and later his articles were published as a compilation, ‘Bunch of Thoughts’. In both these books and also in various other outpourings of his, he denigrates democracy and pluralism on one hand and upholds fascist concept of nationhood and sectarian version of culture on the other. His writing is most intimidating to the minorities in particular. He was the chief of RSS for 33 long years and was instrumental in giving RSS a direction, which assumed menacing proportions in times to come, and strengthening the foundations of the ‘hate minorities’ ideology resulting in the consequent waves of violence, undermining the democratic norms in the society. He can also be ‘credited’ with giving the sharp formulations which laid the ideological foundation of different carnages in the country.
Golwalkar praises Lord Manu as the greatest law giver mankind ever had. It was the same law giver Manu’s book, which was burnt by Dr. Ambedkar in his pursuit of getting justice for the dalits. In current times, Golwalkars’ successor also demanded a throwing away of Indian constitution, to be replaced by the one which is based on Hindu holy books, implying Manusmriti, of course.
His formulations of Hindutva Fascism are so blatant that even his followers, the RSS combine, is running for cover and claiming that this book, having a naked hatred for minorities and eulogies for the likes of Hitler, We…, was not written by him. They avoid owning these ideas. But one knows that this book was penned by him. In an affidavit submitted to the charity commissioner, Rajendra Singh, a later Sarsanghchalak pleaded, "With a view to give a scientific base to propagate the idea-India being historically from time immemorial a Hindu nation-the late Shri M.S. Golwalkar had written a book entitled ‘We or Our Nationhood defined’, which was published in 1938." (Quoted in Islam, Undoing India: The RSS way) J.A. Curran in his classic study, RSS: Militant Hinduism in India Politics- A study of RSS: points out "The genuine ideology of Sangh is based upon principles formulated by its founder, Dr. Hedgewar. These principles have been consolidated and amplified by the present leader ( i.e. Golwalkar) in a small book called "We or our nationhood defined". It is a basic primer in the indoctrination of Sangh volunteers… (Curran 1979, p.39). Since its quotations have been brought to the notice of people, RSS publishing houses have stopped republishing this book. What does Golwalkar say in this book?
In this book he rejects the notions of Indian nationhood, India as a Nation in the making. He rejects the idea that all the citizens will be equal. He goes on to harp the notions of nationhood borrowed from Hitler’s Nazi movement. He rejects that India is a secular nation and posits that it is a Hindu Rashtra. He rejects the territorial-political concept of nationhood and puts forward the concept of cultural nationalism, which was the foundation of Nazi ideology. His admiration of Hitler’s ideology and politics is the running thread of the book and he takes inspiration from the massive holocaust which decimated millions of people in Germany. He uses this as a shield to propagate his political ideology. It is this ideology which formed the base of communal common sense amongst a section of the population. "German national pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up purity of the nation and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races, the Jews. National pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into a united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by." (We…, 1938, p.37)
In the Sangh circles this book is regarded as their Gita. The implications for Indian minorities are presented here in a forthright manner. Today the swayamsevaks brought up on this Gita, do believe in all this but the language of expression is being made more polished so that the poison is coated with honey and administered with ease. Golwalkar goes on to assert, "From the standpoint sanctioned by the experience of shrewd nations, the non-Hindu people in Hindustan must either adopt the Hindu culture and language, must learn to respect and revere Hindu religion, must entertain no idea but the glorification of Hindu nation i.e. they must not only give up their attitude of intolerance and ingratitude towards this land and its age long traditions, but must also cultivate the positive attitude of love and devotion instead; in one word, they must cease to be foreigners or may stay in the country wholly subordinated to the Hindu nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges, for less any preferential treatment, not even the citizen’s rights." (Ibid p.52).
When the Hindutva politics came up in the late 1980s, in the beginning an unsuspecting observer could not comprehend from where has the concept of Hindu nation come up suddenly, why such an intense hatred for minorities, a glance at We… and one becomes clear that those fed on this ideology cannot but be what they are, cannot do anything else than what they did and have been doing since 1990, the Babri demolition, the anti minority violence and an open violation of democratic ethos of the country. These ideas were translated into the stories of atrocities of Muslim kings, the myth of Hindus owning this land from times immemorial and a lot of such make believe concoction. Irrespective of the fact the freedom movement rejected this ideology and its formulations, it was kept alive through the ideological indoctrination work in the RSS shakhas going on ceaselessly.
Golwalkar was also faced with some of the naïve swaymasevaks wishing to participate in the national movement, more so after the massive Quit India movement was launched. That time Golwalkar was the RSS chief and he dissuaded the people from participating in the movement, and some of them who participated did it in their personal capacity, some of them now claim that they also participated. ( e.g. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who was onlooker in the anti British movement, was arrested but wriggled out of the jail and later claimed to have participated in the movement.) As matter of fact Golwalkar was very contemptuous towards the anti British movement. There is no mention of presence of RSS in the anti British movement even in most of the sympathetic accounts written about it. Even Nanaji Deshmukh, the foremost leaders of RSS puts this question, why did RSS not take part in the liberation struggle as an organization? (Deshmukh, Victim of Slander, Vision Books, 1979, p.70) Since Golwalkar propounded religion based nationalism, there was no place for anti British stance. "The theories of territorial nationalism and of common danger, which formed the basis of our concept of nation, had deprived us of the positive and inspiring content of our real Hindu Nationhood and made many of the ‘freedom movements’ virtually anti-British movements. Anti Britishism was equated with patriotism and nationalism. This reactionary view has had disastrous effects upon the entire course of freedom movement…" (Bunch of thoughts, 1996, p.138). In a frank defense of British colonialist he reminds the people of RSS pledge, "We should remember that in our pledge we have talked of freedom of the country through d
efending religion and culture. There is no mention of departure of British in that." (Shri Guruji Samgra Darshan, Vol 4, p. 2) With allies like this British could merrily pursue their policy of divide and rule!
No wonder British never repressed RSS. Also the collusion between Religion based nationalism and colonialism can be understood from such statements. Later the World saw that in tune with this pro imperialist ideology, Golwalkar was to support the US aggression on Vietnam and his successor Sudarshan defended the US aggression against Iraq.
The murder of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi by a Hindutva follower Nathuram Godse not only shocked the whole nation; it led RSS followers to celebrate this event by distributing sweets. While RSS followers were celebrating, and the links of Godse with RSS became apparent, RSS was banned and Golwalkar was arrested. They denied that RSS had any links with Godse. At that time it was easy to claim so as RSS had no written constitution and membership lists, enrollment register etc. Godse was RSS Pracharak and later he joined Hindu Mahasabha and was editing a newspaper, Agrani (leader), the subtitle of the paper was Hindu Rashtra. In the court he denied any links with RSS. Later his brother Gopal Godse, who was also an accomplice in the murder, in an interview given to Times of India (25 Jan 98) stated that his brother Nathuram spoke a deliberate lie in the court, "The appeasement policy followed by him (Gandhi) and imposed on all Congress governments’ encouraged the Muslim separatist tendencies that eventually created Pakistan…Technically and theoretically he (Nathuram) was a member (of RSS), but he stopped workings for it later. His statement in the court that he had left the RSS was to protect the RSS workers who would be imprisoned following the murder. On the understanding that they (RSS workers) would benefit from his dissociating himself from the RSS, he gladly did it."
In the wake of the murder of Gandhi, RSS was banned and Golwalkar was jailed, from where he wrote a letter to the Government of India offering to cooperate with the government in ‘dealing with the menace of Communism’ in return for being released from the jail. Incidentally it was also the period when US was on the witch hunt of communists world over. Today, the global US agenda of demonization of Islam, and Muslims world over matches with the RSS agenda, coincidence again? Is this running parallel in the matching agenda US and RSS policies a mere coincidence?
For him the notion of Hindu Rashtra remained supreme and he could never reconcile to the secular values of Indian constitution. Time and over again he kept on harping on how UnBharat the constitution is and how Manu’s rules are more desirable and profound one’s. The partition of India and the consequent tragedy was registered through the Hindutva eyes, "Even to this day there are many who say, ‘now there is no Muslim problem at all. All those riotous elements who supported Pakistan have gone away once for all. The remaining Muslims are devoted to our country. After all they have no other place to go and they are all bound to remain loyal…It would be suicidal to delude ourselves into believing that they have turned patriot overnight after the creation of Pakistan. On the contrary, Muslim menace has increased a hundredfold by the creation of Pakistan, which has become a springboard for all their future aggressive designs on our country." (Bunch of Thoughts, Bangalore, 1996, p. 177-78)
The way to look at Indian communities as Hindus and Muslims as uniform monoliths continues to be exhibited all through. Further he also goes on to label Muslims, Christians and Communists as internal threats to Hindu nation. And this is the ‘ideological fodder ‘ of RSS shakhas and its practical unfoldment is visible in the regular occurrence of attacks against Muslims and Christians. With collapse of Soviet Union, the venom against communists has been given a different turn. And in the third category secularist have also been added up as a threat to Hindu nation.
It was Golwalkar again under whose stewardship the RSS gave birth to other organizations to play the divisive role in different arenas of social and political life. He was instrumental in helping bring up Bharatiya Jansangh, Akhil Bhartiya Vidayarthi Parishad, Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh, Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram and Vishwa Hindu Parishad, amongst others. The infiltration of RSS cadres in different wings of state apparatus; army, police, bureaucracy, judiciary, education and media was another move initiated by Golwalkar, the effects of which are visible prominently from last two decades.
While secular democratic elements, activists have a long road ahead, we need to take care that in the already vitiated atmosphere, the communal divide is not accentuated further by this move of RSS and we put forward the values of humane plural and democratic society and dispel the ideologies which have been playing a very divisive role in the society.

Huawei has had its sights set on becoming one of the top mobile phone companies in the world, and they're one step closer today.
A report has confirmed that the Chinese manufacturer is the top Android brand, taking over the spot from Samsung. It's the most profitable brand using Google mobile operating system, and that makes it second in the world only to Apple.
This comes from news that the Shenzhen-based company posted profits of around $200 million for the third quarter of 2016, that's a full 2.4 percent of the global smartphone operating profits.
The spot was previously held by Samsung, a Korean technology company which has had a number of issues recently, including the recall of an entire product line in the Galaxy Note 7.
