Timing is something I hear a lot about in all aspects of my life: when to find the right job, when to talk about certain subjects, when we’re “supposed” to reach certain life milestones (all of which have surpassed for me), when to get married, when to have a baby… there’s a whole lotta scheduling happening.
Frankly, I’m still figuring out what’s a good time to get to bed each night, how quick I can slap on my makeup in order to sleep in as much as possible without being late to work, and what time to eat my afternoon protein bar so I’m not hungry during dance class.
But of course, there’s that timing in a relationship that everyone is always talking about as one of the vital factors in whether or not the relationship is going to withstand the test of time. Again with the time!
However, when I think about that – you know, when people say, “It just wasn’t the right timing” – what I took that to mean was that it has to be the right time in each person’s life. You’ve each got to be where you want to be in your lives in order to make things work – and this can mean different things for each person.
Factors of timing for me include:
- Being free (or as close to it) of baggage
- Feeling confident on my own
- At an okay place with my job/career
- Feeling as if my life is full without a partner to avoid neediness
- Feeling emotionally strong in other areas of my life
…And there’s probably a few more things that I just haven’t thought of yet. I’ve definitely had relationship moments that failed because of timing; many, in fact.
But what if the timing doesn’t have anything to do with those things? What if you actually like each other at different times?
I’m currently experiencing this, or was, I suppose, a few months ago.
You see, I really liked this guy about two years ago, and he said it wasn’t the right time for him. He’d gone through a breakup, and wasn’t ready, which I respected.
We stayed friends – despite having a pretty big fight and not talking for several months – and recently he told me he liked me; that he thought I was cool.
While I appreciated his gesture and thought it was sweet; it felt also like a little bit of an insult. I felt like…wait, a second! I liked you YEARS ago, and I wasn’t cool enough then, so… it finally took you two years to come around?
I know he didn’t mean it like that, but I feel like as soon as a guy says he likes a woman, she’s expected to fawn all over him and treat him like a god.
Meh. That’s not really my style.
Since he told me he liked me, all of the sudden it became important that I reply his texts right away, and when he texted me around 1 am one Sunday morning, I was asleep, so I didn’t respond until around 9:30 later that morning.
And he’s been salty to me ever since – in fact, we really haven’t talked since then.
There’s always the chance that his distance has nothing to do with me, but it sure seems pretty immature, not to mention controlling, and a bit manipulative.
On the one hand, it sadly may mean that it just wasn’t meant to be with this guy that I thought I liked so much. But on the other hand, I’m proud of myself for spotting something like this early – because these are tricks I’ve fallen for in the past, and have ended very poorly for me.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a relationship, and a big reason for that is because the last one was so, so terrible. It has taken me years to find myself again, and gain enough confidence to even think about dating again. While I’m finally starting to feel ready, I also realize that I’m really sensitive to any possible sign of control and manipulation – as that’s something all of my exes have in common.
I suppose it doesn’t matter exactly WHAT kind of timing we’re tallking about, if fate is in control here, then whatever is meant to be, will be, right?
So… fate… I’m waiting.

Father and son Jacques and Paul Contant were apothecaries and collectors of cultural and natural history objects in Poitiers, where they amassed one of the most important cabinets de curiosité in seventeenth-century France. The Contants collected specimens from the Mediterranean region and exchanged objects with the University of Montpellier to form their large and unique collection. Their records indicate that the Contants owned thousands of items rare to Europe, including plants, animals, herbs, perfumes, fossils, thousands of bronze statuettes, and one 18-foot canoe. The “cabinet,” precursor to the modern museum, emerged during the Renaissance period as a display of wealth, sophistication, and learning.
This engraved title page details the contents of Les Oeuvres, the collected opus of the Contants. The volume was published in 1628, and includes five works of botanical catalogue in verse, among them Les commentaires fur Dioscoride, a botanical catalogue completed by Jacques Contant, and Le Second Eden, a poem by Paul Contant describing the plants in the Garden of Eden. Les Oeuvres fuses scientific inquiry and poetry in what is now considered one of the first “museum books,” a detailed and illustrated catalogue of an early natural history collection.

Migrants: Human Rights at Sea Reviews U.N. Report
The U.K.-based charitable NGO Human Rights at Sea has published a new briefing note reviewing the latest report of the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights, examining its implications for human rights at sea.
The U.N. report is the third prepared by the Independent Expert, Obiora Chinedu Okafor, and the second that he has addressed to the Human Rights Council. In the report, submitted pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 35/3, he discusses the issue of the criminalization or suppression of the rendering of humanitarian assistance to migrants and refugees.
The report notes that the duty to rescue any person in distress at sea is well established in international law including UNCLOS, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, the International Convention on Salvage and the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue.
The Independent Expert notes there is some argument about the legal gap between the duty to rescue at sea and the obligation on coastal states to allow for disembarkation of those rescued. Human Rights at Sea supports the Independent Expert's analysis that “the international treaties could not have established the obligation to rescue persons in distress at sea without contemplating an implied requirement that such persons be allowed to disembark in as nearby a port as is practicable.” Without this, the duty to rescue could not be fulfilled in practice.
Additionally, says Human Rights at Sea, criminalizing people for saving lives is not compatible with international human rights law or the international law of the sea. The NGO has produced the publications: Volunteer Maritime Rescuers: Awareness of Criminalisation and Legal and Policy Matters Arising from the Increased Criminalisation of Civil Society Search and Rescue Activities in the Mediterranean.
Migrants Brought to Shore
The review comes as the 356 migrants stranded on Ocean Viking rescue vessel were brought to shore in Malta on the weekend, following a 14-day standoff. The Ocean Viking is a rescue vessel operated by SOS MEDITERRANEE in partnership with Médecins sans Frontières (MSF). The move follows an agreement to relocate the people between six European Union member states (Ireland, Portugal, France, Romania, Germany and Luxembourg). The Ocean Viking will now change crews, refuel and resupply before heading back to the Libyan Search and Rescue region.
Human Rights at Sea Advocacy
For six years, Human Rights at Sea, has been researching, educating, advocating and lobbying for a change of attitude in the maritime sector for better awareness, protections and effective remedies stemming from human rights abuses at sea, reflecting the fundamental rights established the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
The discussion and emerging international narrative concerning human rights at sea as a concept and its practical application continues to rapidly develop from academic, commercial, State and civil society perspectives; something which was not occurring in 2013 when the Human Rights at Sea platform was conceived.
The report of the U.N. Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity reflects much of the work being carried out and often triggered, if not led by Human Rights at Sea. However, this maritime focus area for human rights development still remains little known about, or if known about, shunned and ignored in favor of commercial and competitive advantage.
The briefing note is part of the continuous awareness raising campaign led by Human Rights at Sea.
The briefing note is available here.

Apparently Cygames has been asking people if they were interested in a Steam release of GBF, so hopefully that actually happens. It'll attract a lot more of the western demographic. Despite all the negativity surrounding gacha games, GBF is actually pretty good and easily F2P-able. I haven't spent a dime on it since I started playing.

The ultimate song of last summer was uncontestably “Latch”. Sam Smith’s silky smooth falsetto over swooshing synths and crisp beats had us all swooning and singing in the shower. Live, it was the perfect song to close out a two-hour show at Navy Pier from British producer duo Disclosure. The first opening act was an EDM producer/instrumentalist by the name of Pomo whose minimalist swirling synth-heavy sound meshed perfectly with the blue lights, creating a dreamy chill atmosphere. Following him was Claude VonStroke with a more thumping beat and tense drop heavy sound that filled the cavernous space.
After a short intermission, Disclosure came on. From their mini podiums on stage decked out with DJ equipment, the brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence, kept the crowd on its feet and dancing to a set list that included classics from their debut Settle as well as popular singles from their recent release Caracal. While there were no fancy choreographed dance routines or famous girl squad appearances, the energy was infectious as the brothers threw themselves into the equipment, in addition to contributing vocals and playing the bass guitar.
The production was more bulked up in the studio, giving songs like “When a Fire Starts to Burn” and “You & Me” an added edge and urgency. While some of the sharpness that made Settle such a standout album was lost, the general energy and rhythm of the music – full of expertly timed dips and swells, booming beats and airy transitions – made up for it. Collaborators Lion Babe and Brendan Reilley joined Disclosure on stage. Lion Babe’s strong vocals cut through the drum fog, adding extra vibrancy to her rendition of “Hourglass”. Meanwhile, Reilley, who performed “Moving Mountains” as part of the encore, truly shined as his powerful falsetto rode above the swelling music and infused the song with a greater sense of emotion and pain.
Dressing for an urban concert like Disclosure is a wholly different affair than your typical festival/concert style. It’s simply too chilly out for fringe crop tops and cut-offs, and try wearing a flower crown and flash tats on the CTA without getting a few odd looks. The first rule of concert dressing is comfort. Don’t waste half the night worrying about your skirt riding up or if someone will spill a drink on your new shoes. Next is layers. Concert spaces, especially large ones like Navy Pier are often very chilly at first, but after a few hours of dancing to the music, it gets very warm. A sweater or a jacket that can be tied around the waist provide the perfect amount of versatility.
My outfit for the night consisted of high rise black jeans, a black crop top, well-loved high tops perfect for dancing around in (and also perfect to throw in the washing machine at the end of the night) and a black motorcycle jacket thrown on top. I ditched a purse in favor of pockets to keep things simple. Makeup-wise it’s a breezy cat eye flick and pumped up lashes (all waterproof of course, no need for sweaty raccoon eyes). It’s all easy, comfortable, and perfect for shimmying the night away.

When Siddharth Varadrajan informed me that his The Wire had run a response to my piece [https://thewire.in/143238/bhim-army-mayawati-bsp/] in the Indian Express, I had not read it as I was traveling in Kerala without proper access to the net. He said he would be willing to publish my response. In reply, I wrote that if it was worth responding to, I might do it. Today I read it and to my dismay found that it did not have an iota of relation to what I wrote and merely pretended to make big points about nothing. Suryakant Waghmore, the author of ‘Civility of Caste’ is least expected to exhibit such incivility but what amazed me is to see such an irrelevant comment passing as response to my article through the editorial gaze of The Wire team. It was good, however that they provided a link to the original article so as to help readers see the irrelevance of the exercise. I began receiving calls from friends telling me that it was utterly out of focus and only smacked of venting some accumulated prejudice against me. I initially thought not to waste my time over this rejoinder which would be inevitably acrimonious but I had to yield to the pressure from these friends who wanted that it should not be allowed to pass unexposed. I wrote my response on 4 June and mailed it to The Wire.
[Despite my persistent follow up, The Wire mailed me its sanitized version after full 18 days, (neutralizing its impact halfway through just with delay), that took away its spirit and rather sought to grant Waghmore an undeserved respectability. It was better that they had not carried it. I did not approve it and preferred to publish it on Coutercurrents.com.]
At the outset, let me clarify that the major title “Bhim Army can transcend BSP and unveil a new emancipation of Dalits” is editorial construction of Indian Express. The real title of the article was ‘Bhim Army is not a product of the BJP, it is a by-product of the BSP” which was retained but as a subtitle. Discerning readers would have certainly noted the major title being unrelated to the content. But even that title does not convey anything like what is assumed by Waghmore in his purported response. My entire article [http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/bhim-army-can-transcend-bsp-unveil-a-new-emancipation-of-dalits/] is focused on to disprove Mayawati’s statement to denigrate Bhim Army as the product of the BJP and to contend that it was rather the by-product of the BSP’s persistent neglect of the real issues of the Dalits who emotionally supported it as their own party. It did not reflect any rhetorical support to the new outfit, least any attempt of hitching free ride with them as assumed by Waghmore.
I suspect, Waghmore jumped on to writing his response without making sure he understood what is written in the article. What does one call such a condition, if not prejudice? This prejudice runs across his review. For instance, he says, “he (I) tells us that Mayawati is bad, Kanshi Ram was good and the Bhim Army has the potential.” This motivated attribution is not to be found in my article. I wrote, it was “his strategic genius” that won the BSP power which would have been used to do something tangible for the Dalits to demonstrate itself as a true Dalit party. If Waghmore takes me as allergic to identity politics, which I am, particularly the politics based on the identity of caste, then how could I say Kanshi Ram who cobbled up his ‘bahujan’ on the basis of caste identities was good. None familiar with my writings ever smelt any such praise for Kanshi Ram or condemnation of Mayawati. Kanshi Ram was surely a strategic genius like, for instance, Gandhi. It meant what they had set out to achieve, they had clearly planned for its realization. Does it mean calling them good? May be as strategists, but not so for what they entailed. Good and bad is not my way of thinking; I assess people on their objective contribution to the issue at hand, good on some at one time and not so good or even bad on some other at other times. I have myself praised Mayawati for her guts, for giving the ruling politicians and their parties in their own coins but never hesitated to show that these very acts were injurious to Dalit interests. How do I help Waghmore if he is prejudiced to see things in a certain way?
Look at this: “Teltumbde writes that Mayawati was never a leader of Dalits. Somehow, for him, this is suddenly not true about Kanshi Ram. One wonders if Kanshi Ram used the rhetoric of caste and Bahujan identity any less.” Where he gets such hallucinations, I fail to understand. Not only in this article but even in any of my other writings, did I ever say such athing. This is a perfect example of firstly assuming things and then displaying one’s intellect in refuting them. Also, I have not said, “Mayawati squandered Kanshi Ram’s legacy” as Waghmore stated. What I said is that Mayawati squandered an opportunity that came her way by Kanshi Ram’s strategy. And I explained how. I have also not said, “caste atrocities against Dalits increased under her due to her ‘sarvajan strategy’”. Also, nowhere have I said as claimed by Waghmore, “that atrocities against Dalits increased in Uttar Pradesh during the BSP’s rule and continued to grow due to the BSP’s abuse of power.” What is said and suggested is ‘neglect’ of her core constituency, taking it for granted, striking political compromises, etc. On the basis of such erroneous understanding he laments, “This is a gross abuse of reason by an activist of his stature.” Stature etc. is inimical to me but what is at hand is the observation that Mayawati did not do anything for the Dalits beyond bolstering their pride in their identity with statutes and monuments of their icons. This is incidentally corroborated by many other activists and political commentators like S R Darapuri and Kanwal Bharti, both from UP and not stained as yet by accusations of being Marxists or Leftists by the likes of Waghmore.
What I said is that Mayawati could have curbed caste atrocities using her power but “Uttar Pradesh continued to distinguish itself by the atrocities on the Dalits” during her tenure. And then I provided hard statistics as given in the NCRB reports. I do not find any ambiguity in it to be misunderstood. Therefore, whether Waghmore’s paraphrasing is just a lack of comprehension or willful and malicious distortion or simple prejudice, or all of them, is really a matter of probing.
I could go on showing almost each of his sentences either deliberately distorting my views, or reflecting lack of understanding of what I wrote or being utterly irrelevant to the content of the article. But with the above clues, the readers themselves could see them easily and hence I would stop this exercise here.
I would rather turn to his stuffier snippets of argument regarding the caste atrocities. When he argues that “the increase in (reported) violence against Dalits is also a signifier of Dalits challenging caste” in the name of commonplace sociological knowledge, it reflects a quarter truth. Lest it cohere with the government logic that the increasing number of atrocities against the Dalits is simply because of the rising awareness among the Dalits of their rights that leads them to register atrocity cases, the balance three-fourth truth also needs to be explored. Do atrocities have nothing to do with rising agrarian distress in the countryside, with the uncertainties unleashed by neoliberal policies, with increasing competition in electoral politics, and dilapidation of the Dalit politics as a result of the leaders being always in the compromise mode vis-à-vis the mainstream ruling parties? What Waghmore calls challenging caste is rather cultural assertion of the Dalits of their identity. Instead of challenging castes, it may rather be accentuating them. That apart, among a plethora of factors (which exist in any social phenomenon), it cannot be taken as the dominant one. As I explained in my book, Persistence of Caste, an atrocity happens when a triangle comprising three factors — the presence of caste consciousness, assurance that there shall be no punishment either by the state or in retaliation to the committer of an atrocity and the salience of a trigger—is complete. The galloping rise in atrocity numbers during Modi’s rule, for instance, is solely attributable to the middle factor, emboldenment of the caste Hindus that nothing would happen to them if they punish the Dalits for their impertinence. Una, Saharanpur may testify to this.
One does not know what Waghmore wants to convey by saying “That caste violence is less reported in Odisha and West Bengal does not mean that caste and caste violence do not exist there”. Does he mean to say that in those states the caste atrocities happen but do not get reported? If so, why do they get reported in other states? In any case, the reference is totally irrelevant to my point. He reaches the climax of his argument pitching incidence of atrocity versus the conviction rate. While conviction rate is attributed to the judicial system which is supposed to be independent of Executive, surely it depends on the role played by investigative agencies that are part of the latter. But there is a gestation period for judicial process. Like projects being conceived and started by the UPA government are fructifying now cannot be attributed to the NDA government (although Modi is dishonestly taking credit for them), the credit for the convictions happened during her tenure could not be claimed by Mayawati. I am not undermining Mayawati’s administrative prowess; I am undermining Waghmore’s understanding, when he attributes failure on my part in understanding rate of conviction. The figure he quotes for the rate of conviction for UP and Maharashtra are utterly irrelevant, firstly for the above reason (of gestation) and secondly, because I have not made any comparative statement. Let me not go into the veracity of his figures or their analysis, as they are irrelevant for my argument.
Arsenal of Deceitfulness
Now let me deal briefly with his other arsenal. It is about pushing Ambedkar and Marx into the discussion. I have not even mentioned their names or referred to Left or Right or the Reform and Revolution or class politics in my article, all the pompous terms that he marshals in his rejoinder. This is purely reflective of the accumulated grudge in his mind and not the content of the subject article. Where did I term what Bhim Army was doing was Marxian politics or deviation from Ambedkarite politics or even from Mayawati’s politics? On the contrary, I have said that “Going by the current reflections the Bhim Army appears verily rooted in the stereotypes of the BSP-type of identity politics.” I think to speak about Ambedkarite or Marxian politics, one need to at least understand English. Why do these “intelligent” people like Waghmore disturb Ambedkar or Marx when they are not at all required, I fail to understand. When I haven’t even remotely touched upon the genres of politics associated with these people, Marx and Ambedkar, (and the worthies of his ilk must know I haven’t even done it elsewhere), it only smacks of his prejudice that typifies me as a Marxist to distance me from the gullible Ambedkarite Dalits with that questionable syllogism about Ambedkar being against Marx. When I myself suspected in no uncertain terms that the Bhim Army still reflects really the same identity politics of the BSP type, where is the need for pompous pontification about Left and Right? If he knows that Bhim Army is “just another angry eruption advancing Ambedkarite politics”, so be it; it does not contradict my point that its anger also is the by-product of the BSP and not stemming from BJP as Mayawati sought to condemn it with. Waghmore seems to know a lot more about them, which I need not dispute, but his knowledge seems either bolstering my point that Bhim Army should not be condemned as a BJP outfit or is utterly irrelevant. What angered me was Mayawati’s insinuation that these youngsters should have been punished by police.
When Waghmore is puzzled by my seeming contradiction that while I disprove Mayawati’s politics, support Bhim Army as the movement of youth and still suspect that they are rooted in “the stereotype of BSP-type identity politics”, I would say it is not so much as an understanding of politics but of simple English. The simple point the article makes is that as the movement of Dalit youth taking on the powerful perpetrators of caste atrocity in Saharanpur should be upheld and not condemned as BJP-sponsored and that they do bear potential to carve out new politics vis-à-vis BSP’s political acrobatics to stay in power. If Waghmore wants to deny them that potential and sees them as mere extension of the BSP itself, I am afraid, besides betraying his ignorance, he contradicts the zeroeth premise and unknowingly bolsters my point notwithstanding the irrelevance of his diatribe against Marx, Left, class politics, revolution, etc., all being deceitfully attributed to me.
Fantasizing the Non-Existent
One of his great points is against the violence (again this word does not occur in my write-up). “He says, “The violence of the Panthers, or at least their rhetoric, resulted in state repression against educated Dalit youth and caste violence of scale against rural Dalits.” Which violence of the Dalit Panthers he refers to? Rhetoric, yes. If using abusive language against the Hindus and Brahmans is the violence, I do not think anyone would beat Kanshi Ram and Mayawati. He thinks “Tilak taraju aur talwar, Inko maro jute char” with which Kanshi Ram and Mayawati caught imagination of the Dalits (Jatav-Chamars) and consolidated them into their constituency was a sloka of non-violence. Historically, such anti-Hindu and anti-Brahman rhetoric has been the staple of the Dalit movement. They would have been perfectly justified if accompanied by commensurate action. But the latter has been either conspicuous by its absence or was only seen in its opposite, opportunistic compromise. What remains rather untried is the commensurate reaction from the Dalits against the violence of the casteist elements. It is not that the violence is an intrinsic virtue but in the context of atrocity, it communicates to the perpetrators that the Dalits would no more taking it lying low. It makes one of the factors constituting the above referred atrocity triangle unavailable. Waghmore claims to know Ambedkarite politics; he should carefully reread Babasaheb Ambedkar’s ‘Mukti Kon Pathe’ wherein he reasons out atrocity on Dalits to be the result of their weakness and explains how they could overcome it.
Waghmore says, “Teltumbde trusts Mayawati more than the police and I am not sure why.” His advice to me is that I should believe Police reports that the BSP is supporting the Bhim Army and not Mayawati, who says it is not. Strange logic from one who claims to comment on politics! Firstly, no political person, particularly in the non-ruling camp takes police version without a pinch of salt. Secondly, there is nothing to divide BSP and Bhim Army when it comes to people. And thirdly, there is no BSP without Mayawati. He himself says that there is a “blurred boundaries between the social and political means in Dalit politics.” Chandrashekhar Azad and his comrades themselves would have been BSP supporters and they may still be as Waghmore claims to know. My point is that insofar as they indicate different trend (starting schools for the Dalits, and challenging the Rajputs with confidence), they bear potential for new politics of Dalits. The very fact that these youngsters had to think of starting schools for Dalit children now after two decades of BSP’s presence in the state as a ruling party/ dominant political player indicates the neglect of Dalit interests by the BSP and supports my observation.
Another lofty point, irrelevant though insofar as my article is concerned, (because it just does not exist there) is that he clubs “anti-caste movements and their identity politics” and claims that I have reservations about them. Waghmore seems to be knowing too much about what I think, which of course I need not grudge! It is well known that I uphold anti-caste politics and for that very reason oppose identity politics because it strengthens castes. Then he observes “Dalit groups tend to break away from the totalising nature of class politics as they undermine caste.” Yes, surely, the people of Waghmore’s ilk are averse to class politics and they have successfully held out Dalit masses from even knowing the class politics. For his information, there are many Daliits already practicing what he thinks is class politics in the country and even in these trying times they are steadfastly living it. One thing I would comment is that class politics challenges the state and demands sacrifices whereas caste politics has all the avenues to profit from the state largesses, which is why Waghmore-like people abhor class politics under the cover of intellectualism. Nobody grudges them their personal choice but why indulge in the matters where they do not have their skin.
When he says, “Failure in party politics may not result in the end of identity politics and the overnight dawn of class consciousness”, therefore, rings true because there are myriad of forces backed by the state upholding identity politics. While identity is spoken in generic terms, caste as an identity warrants special attention. It is a vicious identity, unlike any as it reflects hierarchy and makes divisiveness its prime attribute. Therefore, it invalidate itself as the basis of articulating any radical emancipator movement. Caste splits, and splits like amoeba: Ambedkar’s ‘Dalit’ also could not last despite the upsurge of identity politics and split into subcaste identities. “The strategies of using identity for recognition and redistribution purposes continue to hold the potential for cultural and material transformation” for identiy mongers but can never get close to universal emancipation.
Waghmore then goes on to observe that “Caste no doubt continues to be a central challenge facing the BJP” as the major contradiction in Indian society. He sees that only caste can be “productively mobilised against” the BJP. And curiously he finds that the “present times could well prove to be an opportune moment for Dalit and other marginal groups” for dissenting with reason and speaking truth to power. What an out-of-touch-with-reality kind of convoluted argument this is in the shadow of rising fascism in the country. When the dexterous caste mobilization catapulted BJP to power and reached it within sight of realizing its dream of hindu rashtra, which is not just a rhetoric but 21st century fascism the like of which is not known to history, he is proposing caste as the means of ‘speaking truth to power’. When the fangs of the Hindu right are getting bare in Una, Saharanpur, IIT (M), HU and a plethora of such places in the country, Waghmore finds times to be opportune for Dalits and marginal groups. I find it beyond me to comment on such a preposterous proposition.
In the context of galloping rise in atrocities on Dalits, trampling of every value associated with the Constitution, vulgar inequality in every sphere of life, revivalist Hindutva orthodoxy, and growing fascisation of society, Waghmore thinks of Bhim Army “advancing the tradition of Ambedkarite politics, creatively combining the constitution with social and political mobilisation to consolidate subaltern hegemony. One worries, beyond the objective calamity that stares Dalits in face, this caliber of intellectualism is further ditching them into blind alley where it would be difficult for them to feel even their moorings. Of course Waghmore has to take recourse to contrast his projection with “revolutionary rhetoric” that “undermines the past struggles”.He thinks taking objective stock of the present reality in the context of the learnings from the past, which is a method of strategic course correction, is undermining the past struggles. It is a pitiable attempt to evoke Dalit emotions and incapacitating them to confront present. He accuses me of hitching a ride on the Bhim Army; venting my ire on Mayawati, not knowing where to sit. Waghmore is under strong hallucination to see all of it in the article when there is nothing in reality.
This peddling of identity trash in the wake of rising wave of hindutva fascism is more dangerous than fascism itself.

AN INTERACTION DESIGN STUDENT - FROM QUT.
Welcome to Cait Hopper's 2022 Interaction Design project. Cait is creating a speculative design piece, addressing the future of food production in the year 2080. Through a series of interviews with people throughout the food supply chain, growers, agronomists, all the way through to consumers. Cait has implemented AI to co-design 'the foods of the future'. In our interview with Cait, we find out the various challenges and triumphs of her project. Along with how she plans to turn the exhibition into an engaging and perhaps confronting experience, touching on topics such as land scarcity, and climate change.
"It stems from this big challenge we are facing of ~ how do we feed more people with less land, less water, and less inputs in a changing climate?... ”
Cait hopes to not only appeal to children, but also to tap into that playful nature in adults, engaging them into the narrative and the themes of what is really happening. It will be thought provoking, and will hammer home that we do have the power to shape what goes into our food systems.

The U.S. has approved a fecal transplant to treat a severe intestinal infection, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The drug Rebyota from Ferring Pharmaceuticals is a fecal suspension of donor stool, a laxative, and saline. It is administered once into the patient's rectum using an enema.
Rebyota will be administered to treat recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, Stat writes. This infection, which disrupts the balance of healthy gut bacteria, is accompanied by severe diarrhea, fever, nausea and abdominal pain. Severe inflammation of the colon can be life-threatening - 15,000 to 30,000 patients die from it each year in the United States alone.
The drug has been in development for 10 years, according to recent studies, the use of Rebyota reduces the likelihood of recurrence of the disease by 30%.
So far, it is the world's second official approval for the clinical use of microbiota transplants to treat patients. The first was issued in Australia less than a month ago to treat infections caused by the bacteria Clostridioides difficile.

Health officials in Illinois said two confirmed cases of Legionnaires' disease have been linked to a fitness club in Niles.
The Illinois Department of Public Health said the cases were linked to an L.A. Fitness facility in late April.
Legionella, the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’ disease, grows in building water systems, according to IDPH.
Health officials said the L.A. Fitness closed its pool, spa, showers and steam room after learning about the cases on May 5, WMAQ-TV reported.
Officials said the location has been disinfecting and cleaning impacted areas, and that those areas are to remain closed until the disease is no longer detected. But as of Wednesday night, the gym and locker rooms remained open and some members said they're concerned, WGN-TV reported Thursday.
On Tuesday, testing by the county and state confirmed that Legionella bacteria had been found in a hot tub.
People who work out at the gym told WGN-TV that they were concerned to hear about the disease and said they will take extra precautions going forward.
“It’s generally a clean environment,” Alita Arnold said. “There are a lot of spray bottles with antiseptic spray and wipes around. We as the users just have to use them and be really conscience about wiping things down and hand washing.”
Arthur Merar spends a lot of time at the gym and said he uses the steam room after workouts.
“I mean it happens,” Merar said. “The staff members were very good. They shut down all the spa areas right away. They’ve been cleaning them every day.”
The illness is a serious type of pneumonia that is contracted when individuals inhale small droplets of water, or if they accidentally swallow water that contains the bacteria, WMAQ-TV reported. The illness generally cannot be spread from person-to-person, though it is possible in rare circumstances, IDPH said.
The disease is fatal in approximately 1-in-10 cases.

Dance is a body movement that is rhythmic and performed at a certain place and time for the purpose of socializing or expressing feelings and thoughts. Dance is usually part of a culture that also serves as entertainment, performance, ceremony or educational media. Each country generally has its own distinctive dance and becomes the identity or characteristic of that country. For example, like Latin America. This area does consist of several countries whose people are known to be very fond of dancing. It’s no wonder that traditional Latin American dances are very famous in several countries. So, here are the traditional Latin American dances that are interesting to watch.
Pasillo is one of the traditional Latin American dances which is also quite interesting and distinctive. Although this dance is very popular in the regions of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, the Pasillo is considered the most iconic Ecuadorian folk dance.
The dance was originally adapted from the European waltz, but the Pasillo is slower than the average South American dance rhythm. This makes it unique because the way to dance is unique, which varies according to the city and region.
Another traditional Latin dance that you need to know is Candombe. This dance comes from Uruguay which is very distinctive.
The Candombe dance was originally brought by African slaves in the 18th century and has dances with different rhythms which incidentally are characterized by feelings of melancholy as well as longing.
Cueca from Chile is also one of the most interesting traditional Latin American dances. Cueca is a dance that dates back to colonial times and is a fusion of criollo with elements of Spanish fandango.
This dance is performed by two dancers, namely a man and a woman where the man tries to seduce the woman with an enthusiastic look and stomps hard. They then dance by linking arms and walking around the dance floor, before facing each other and dancing, contactless while waving white handkerchiefs. This dance has a fairly cheerful rhythm and often uses handclaps or tambourines to maintain tempo.
The last traditional Latin American dance is Joropo. This Joropo comes from Venezuela who borrows a lot of rhythm from Spain which was very popular during the colonial period. Joropo has very enthusiastic movements and stomping, hand and foot claps.
This Joropo dance is usually performed at the celebration of dancers among Venezuelan people and one of its famous songs is “Alma Llanera” which is considered the national anthem of the two countries because the song is always sung at the end of parties and celebrations.
The first traditional Latin American dance was Salsa. This dance is indeed quite familiar to our ears because Salsa is indeed one of the world’s most popular dances.
Salsa is a typical dance of the Caribbean Islands and originates from Cuba. In Cuba, if you want to look cool you have to be able to dance Salsa and that’s not easy. The reason is you have to practice several times until proficient. Usually Salsa is shown in bars that have a dance floor. But you don’t need to be surprised if Caribbean people like to dance Salsa on the roadside because this dance is ingrained there.
The next traditional Latin American dance is Tango. Similar to Salsa, Tango is also quite familiar because this dance is quite popular in the world.
Tango comes from Argentina, where its origins are a mixture of European and African cultures. Tango dance is considered romantic and is one of the traditional Argentine dances which is also a proud culture. Not only Argentina, Uruguay also helped preserve this dance. It’s no wonder that Tango is getting more and more popular, even in America and Europe.
Brazil is also known as a country in South America, which has one of the most interesting traditional Latin American dances. This dance is called Samba and similar to Tango and Salsa, Samba is also quite popular throughout the world.
This Samba dance is commonly enjoyed by all groups in Brazil and is often performed at certain festivals or celebrations. Samba is famous for its uniqueness, namely its sparkling, extravagant, colorful and sexy costumes. Not only that, the music that accompanies this dance makes the Samba dance even more attractive.
The Samba dance is actually an Afro-Brazilian dance popularized in parts of Latin America. It’s no wonder that Samba is not only popular in Brazil, but also in various parts of the world.
La Marinera, Peru
The next Latin American traditional dance is La Marinera. La Marinera is known as an elegant dance and represents the feeling of love which is danced by two dancers, male and female.
The two dancers danced with each other, moving in and out, back and forth in swooping motions and playing with the handkerchiefs that floated above them like birds. La Marinera originates from the Peruvian Coast and has slight variations throughout the country, in fact it is considered a traditional dance in Peru. There, you will find young children dancing the La Marinera dance in dance classes all over the city of Lima and other cities in Peru.
Colombia also contributes one of Latin America’s traditional dances which is no less interesting than other countries. This dance is known as Cumbia. Cumbia is a dance of native African and European rhythms with free movements and circular movements.
Sometimes, the female dancer carries a burning candle in her right hand and holds one end of her skirt with her left hand. While the male dancers step around the female dancers with their right heel raised and their knees slightly tilted. He also took off his straw hat and put his head back while keeping his arms outstretched. This Cumbia dance was originally a burial ritual because it used candles and was usually performed at night.
Danza de la Botella, Paraguay
The following traditional Latin American dance originates from Paraguay and is known as the Danza de la Botella. Danza de la Botella means “The Bottle Dance” and is a Paraguayan traditional dance that is quite popular.
This Danza de la Botella features female dancers balancing a bottle on their heads while dancing. This dance certainly requires extraordinary balance and strength, considering that usually, the professional Danza de la Botella dancers use four to five bottles on their heads at one time.
It is still unclear about the history of this dance. However, there are those who say that this dance originated from the colonial era where women often carried water bottles on their heads when going to farming.

LONDON, December 16 (Itar-Tass) —— The Russian fishing boat Sparta with 32 crewmembers onboard is in distress off the coast of New Zealand and has evacuated some of the crew on Antarctic ice, Reuters quoted New Zealand rescue authorities as saying on Friday.
The 55-meter ship is taking on water and listing 13 degrees around 3700 kilometers southeast of New Zealand. The crew is pumping water out.
NZ rescue centre coordinator Tracy Brickles was quoted as saying the ships capable of breaking through sea ice to Sparta are four or five days away, but in the meantime an American plane from the McMurdo Station research base would fly over the ship later in the day to assess ice conditions.
Non-essential crew members have been put on the ice as a precaution and cargo has been unloaded to lighten the vessel. Weather in the area is calm and relatively mild, Reuters said adding the crew of 15 Russians, 16 Indonesians and a Ukrainian are said to have special clothing and other resources to cope with Antarctica's extreme weather.

The cause of autism isn’t really known — it could be a mix of things like genes, medications and environmental factors. Even your pregnancy diet may have an effect on your baby’s chances of being born with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). But a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that a pregnant woman’s exposure to fine particulate air pollution could double her risk of having a baby with autism.
What types of air pollution are we talking? Anything involving acids, chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles smaller than 2.5 microns.The small size means the particles can more easily pass through your nose and throat and enter your lungs. Researchers found the correlation after tracking over 116,000 women across all 50 states. And it’s not just urban moms who are at risk.
“More urbanized areas tend to have higher levels [of pollution] because of traffic, but rural areas can have higher levels than one might think because regionally transported components can come from far away,” senior study author Marc Weisskopf, a professor at Harvard, told Fox News. The good news? While the highest risk occurs during the third trimester, exposure to pollution before or after pregnancy isn’t linked to autism. And neither are larger polluting particles.
Another study, conducted at UC Davis by Irva Hertz-Piccotto, suggests that commercial pesticide spraying should be added to the laundry list of things that increase the chance of autism. The professor of epidemiology compared recorded pesticide sprayings against pregnant women’s home addresses, and found that, if the pesticide was an organophosphate (a compound that exists mostly in commercial-grade sprays), the women showed a 60 percent higher risk of having a baby with autism.
Commercial-grade insecticides are way more toxic than the ones you spray in your backyard to protect your tomatoes from bugs or legs from mosquitoes; they can impair the growth of brain structures in infants by affecting the nervous system.
And one other thing, just to make ourselves clear — this study isn’t definitive proof that pesticides cause autism. The study was an imperfect science, as Hertz-Piccotto didn’t know a lot of things about the people he was studying (like age, general health, or even whether the mothers were at home when the pesticides were sprayed). What the study does contribute, however, is more data that links pesticide exposure to developmental problems in fetuses. Data like this has been collected for years, and this study assists experts who condemn the use of pesticides (even insect repellant) while you’re pregnant.
Bottom line? Scientists still aren’t 100 percent sure what causes autism, but they’re getting closer to the answer every day.
To reduce your exposure to pesticides while pregnant, make sure to wash all of your produce before eating it, or even grow your own produce if you can. In addition, having a “no shoes” policy in your home can help decrease the amount of pesticides you’re exposed to — you never know where peoples’ feet have been!
Do you have any other tips for avoiding exposure to harmful chemicals while pregnant?

Snow Angels of the South, pt II
A white bird in a white environment, always nice to put those together. As the two Snow Petrels kept on flying around, I had a lot of time to experiment with different settings and different postures. This one is one of my favourites, with the wings nicely spread. Somehow it reminds me of another picture of a different snow angel I took, one from the north.

The world is full of beautiful train layouts, and it's impossible to see them all in person. That's why I've decided to find some of the best layout videos the world wide web has to offer and give them the "box office" treatment. So get your tickets, because we're headed to the movies for Big at the Boxcar Office.
Today's video features a truly magnificent train layout set in the old west, and I couldn't think of a better movie title to honor it than Once Upon a Time in the West. So I'd like to introduce you to a one-of-a-kind fine scale layout that's sure to drop some jaws and inspire at least a few railroaders.
Once Upon a Train in the West
The landscaping effects in that layout are almost unbelievable. It's not hard to imagine riding a horse right alongside its rails and looking up into the big western sky. Every single detail has been accounted for, and it really shows in the final result. Even after numerous viewings, this is a video that keep providing more fun things to spot in the both the backgrounds and foregrounds. The bridgework is uncanny, the trees are stunning, and the train itself is a masterpiece too.
Most of us could only dream about a personal layout like this one, but that doesn't make our own efforts any less admirable. If you'd like to show off your own layout in action, you should take the time to fill in your Collection Showcase. And if you have a favorite model train video you'd like to see featured in the next edition of Big at the Boxcar Office, please leave a link in the comments below.

Wavestream has announced the first in a series of Ka-band solutions for the LEO/MEO gateway market.
Wavestream has released their Ka-band 160W Peak Envelope Power BUC for LEO/MEO gateway applications. The new BUC provides 65W of linear power. Leveraging Wavestream’s patented Spatial advantEdge™ technology, this new gateway-focused BUC reaches power levels that could previously be achieved only by traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTA). Using the latest in GaN chips, Wavestream BUCs provide best-in-class performance with the smallest SWaP.
The 160W BUC provides major technical and operational advantages for satellite operators with global LEO/MEO constellations. SSPA technology provides a lower total cost of ownership and better fielded MTBF data than legacy traveling tube wave amplifiers.
This enhanced reliability is a requirement for LEO/MEO networks with hundreds of gateways in remote locations that cannot be easily serviced. Following this first solution, Wavestream intends to release additional lower and higher power solutions for the evolving LEO/MEO Gateway market.
Bob Huffman, the GM at Wavestream, said that as satellite operators move to low orbit constellations, the market is demanding innovative solutions with high volume manufacturing to support a significant growth in the number of ground teleports. As the industry leader in Ka-band SSPAs, Wavestream is now at the forefront of providing new state-of-the-art solid state power amplifier technology to meet these customer needs.

Huddersfield have confirmed the re-signing of 21-year-old forwards Sam Hewitt and Jon Luke Kirby on deals until the end of 2022.
Back rower Hewitt has made 14 appearances for the club after debuting against Leeds in 2018, whilst also playing several times for Halifax on dual-registration.
Prop Kirby, meanwhile, made his debut in 2019 and has gone on to make two further appearances, as well as featuring for Halifax and Hunslet.
“Both Sam and Jon have been with us there entire professional careers and are great role models for the players younger than them to follow,” Giants’ managing director Richard Thewlis told the official club website.
“Both will look to make next year their big break through after already playing some Super League and will I am sure be putting their hands up to go as soon as the league recommences.”
Hewitt said: “It wasn’t a difficult decision for me at all to extend my stay at the club. I love being here and I am very excited with the squad we are building.
“I’m hoping to work my way up to become a first team regularly. There is plenty of good competition for places in the team and that’s something I can strive on to make myself a better player.”
Kirby added: “I’m really looking forward to getting back and cracking on with it.
“I just want to emerge as a regular in the first-team really. I want to be competing week in, week out to get in the team. I’m still only 21 so that’s my short-term goal at the minute.”

At the Heart of Plant and Process Expertise: CAD Schroer after daratechPLANTT 2009
Listen, Learn, Share and Refine - daratechPLANTT Conference Key in Shaping Future Technology
CAD Schroer came to demonstrate its latest developments, but also to learn from peers and listen to industry experts, Owner/Operators and EPCs (Engineering/Procurement/Construction contractors). daratechPLANT is the industry's premier networking event, which provides a rare opportunity for all stakeholders in the Chemical, Process, Power and Nuclear industries to get together over a concentrated 3-day period to discuss the latest industry challenges and developments.
For more information on MPDS4, please visit: http://www.cad-schroer.com/index.php?ziel=Products-MPDS&ref=pr0903_dt.
"All software providers know how easy it is to get caught up in the technology itself, when really it's about enabling companies and engineers to do what they're good at, help them work more productively and deliver quality installations quickly. That also means being mindful of an industry's tight regulatory constraints, the competitive environment, and an often heterogeneous data and systems landscape," says CAD Schroer's Product Manager Mark Simpson, who was joined by the head of CSG's U.S. office, Don Terepka, and Technical Consultant Alan Pitt at the conference. "We've had a lot of interest in our approach, and look forward to more detailed discussions. We also took away a lot of knowledge which will help us to continually refine our solutions."
CONFIGURE > SELL > DESIGN > BUILD > MAINTAIN* In addition to providing a plant design solution deployed to productively assist the "DESIGN > BUILD > MAINTAIN*" processes that formed the basis of this year's daratechPLANT conference, CAD Schroer emphasizes that its solutions uniquely address the pre-sales configuration stages by offering an integrated 2D/3D layout environment.
MPDS4 with FACTORY LAYOUT allows users to quickly produce winning proposals or process plant layouts based on existing CAD data, with impressive 3D visualizations and walk- throughs. Changes can be made in 2D or 3D on the fly, and all data from the pre-sales or inception phase can be reused during the main project phase.

Mille Lacs quick report
Got out Friday with Dutch and had a good time. We fished his house in the afternoon catching perch and tulibes fishing the west side of the lake. Around dinner time he took me down to meet my wife and kids at Brandts.(Thanks for the ride Dutch) We ended up missing prime time due to cell phone technical difficulties on my wifes part. So we hit the water around 8:30pm heading out about 4.5 miles to the shack. Dropped some lines down and marked a few fish in 29' of water but no takers. 11:45 rattle reel. Let it go for a minute. Bobber just sitting in the hole about 4" down. Decided to take it since everyone else was sleeping. As soon as I pulled i knew I shouldn't have. Pulled it right out of its mouth and minnow gone. 12:15 rattle reelSame thing. Pulled bobber down about 4". This time I gave it a little more time. Maybe 2-3 minutes. Gave it a pull and a nice 13.5'-14" eater.
Had a couple more during the night where it clicked off a couple but never took it. Marked a couple fish around 6:30am but to takers jigging a Rattl'n Flyer. Packed up and headed for home. Fun time with the kids in the fish house but tough to keep them interested on a slow bite. My son Aiden(5) had the best time checking tipups through the windows with his new flashlight.Mike Debner

If I told you by doing something that takes ten seconds, ten times a day, you would become ten times happier, would you do it? Most people wouldn’t. That’s human nature. We say we want to be happy but then we busy ourselves with things that make us restless and unhappy.
But maybe you are one of the few, so here it is.
We’ve all heard the term “Count your blessings!” It comes from the Jewish tradition that encourages people to count 100 blessings each day.
100 is a lot and you aren’t going to do that in ten seconds, but you can do this. Pause ten times a day for ten seconds and do these two things. First, take a deep breath, a really, really deep breath. Second, identify one person, thing, experience, or opportunity you are grateful for and just let that gratitude wash over you.
10 seconds. 1O times a day. I promise you, it will change your life. Gratitude is one of the most life-altering experiences a human being can have.

Phase 3 VIITAL Clinical Trial of EB-101
EB-101 is a gene-corrected cell therapy for the treatment of RDEB, a rare connective tissue disorder without an approved therapy. The EB-101 VIITAL™ study is a Phase 3 randomized clinical trial enrolling 10 to 15 RDEB patients with approximately 35 large, chronic wound sites treated in total.
Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, or RDEB, is caused by a defect in the COL7A1 gene, resulting in the inability to produce Type VII collagen, which plays an important role in anchoring the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. In this study, investigators will take two small biopsies of skin tissue, grow and multiply those cells, and then insert the correct type VII collagen gene. This may provide the cells with the ability to grow and develop normal skin. After cells’ gene transfer, the cells are further grown into a larger sheet that is then transplanted back onto the patient. After treatment, patients are followed for 26 weeks to assess safety and efficacy.
For more information about enrolling in our clinical trials, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org.
Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial of EB-101
A single-center randomized clinical trial assessing EB-101 for wound healing in patients with RDEB. Data from a randomized clinical trial showed EB-101 treatment of large, chronic RDEB wounds is associated with durable healing for up to five years and pain relief.
Visit Clinical Trials.gov for more information.
Who is eligible to participate in the VIITAL™ study?
Key criteria for eligible patients include the following, but a full list of inclusion and exclusion criteria are available here.
- Diagnosis of RDEB
- Age 6 years or older
- Positive expression of type VII collagen protein in the skin
- Two RDEB type VII collagen mutations
- ≥40 cm2 of chronically wounded areas on the trunk and/or extremities deemed suitable by the investigator for EB-101 treatment
- ≥2 matched eligible wound sites ≥20 cm2; present for ≥6 months, and stage 2 wound
The safety and efficacy of the investigational use of this product has not been determined. There is no guarantee that the investigational use listed will be filed with and/or approved for marketing by a regulatory agency.

This year marked 15 years of the movie Kal Ho Naa Ho but the Shah Rukh Khan mania has plagued longer and wider which is proved by the video of Nigerian boys singing the title track of the 2003 release, KHNK. Their soulful voice has casted a magic as the video is currently trending across the internet and on Twitter alone has been retweeted more than 10,000 times. In the video posted on Twitter by one Ali Gul Khan from Australia, three Nigerian boys are seen flawlessly singing the song while one of them also raps in between the rendition.
Tweeting the video, Ali Gul Khan captioned it as, “I swear Nigerians watch more Bollywood than Indians” (sic)
The three boys thoroughly enjoyed singing the song and their enjoyment is quite evident in the vocals and their eyes which make it a blissful watch.
We have always believed that love for Bollywood unites people across the world. The same has come true as fans as tweeting their awestruck reaction on seeing the video.
The original soundtrack was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and sung by Sonu Nigam while the lyrics were penned down by Javed Akhtar. The movie, co-produced by filmmaker Karan Johar and his father Yash Johar, under their Dharma Productions banner featured Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Preity Zinta as the lead characters, with Sushma Seth, Reema Lagoo, Lilette Dubey, and Delnaaz Paul in supporting roles. Nikkhil Advani directed the romantic drama.

Discover the Whitstable Pearl mysteries: a combination of seafood, murder, and a multi-tasking heroine on the coast of Kent . . . Soon to be a television series!
It really is murder on the dance floor...
A new dance school opens in Whitstable run by celebrity tango champions - Tony and Tanya Ballard.
Pearl Nolan knows herself to be an ace cook and a sharp private eye but has always left the dancing to her mother, Dolly, a former member of the town's infamous Fish Slappers dance troupe. But Pearl becomes intrigued by the Ballards when they visit The Whitstable Pearl restaurant, and she realises that dance classes could provide the perfect cover for her clandestine relationship with DCI Mike McGuire...
McGuire is the only man Pearl has ever considered partnering - and not just for tango - but the pair soon find themselves with more than steps to master when death joins them on the dance floor and a brutal killer stalks the school.
Praise for Julie Wassmer's Whitstable Pearl mysteries:
'A tried-and-tested crime recipe with Whitstable flavours that makes for a Michelin-starred read' Daily Mail
'My new favourite author in the genre' George Galloway
'Thoroughly enjoyable with a host of wonderful characters- I adore Dolly! - and evocative descriptions of Whitstable. Perfect for foodies too. Pearl is great and the ongoing will they/won't they love story with McGuire is compelling. Comforting, cosy and entertaining with excellent Agatha Christie-style reveals. I love these books!nt>' Jane Wenham-Jones, author of Mum in the Middle
'While Oxford had Morse, Whitstable, famous for its oysters, has Pearl' Daily Mail
'Come to Whitstable without actually coming to Whitstable. A good read!' Anthony Jemmett

Whitley Bay Ice Rink
Skate with the Players on Sunday!
The Warriors are coming out to play after the Stars game this weekend. Skating is FREE for match spectators until 8pm although a skate hire charge does apply – buy your hire ticket on entry to the game.
The start time of this event is estimated and depends on when the game finishes.


Congratulations to Joe Ruggiero, of Joe's Auto Electric in Port Richey, Florida! His entry was selected at random as our October Motor Age "ASE Question of the Month" contest winner, sponsored by Federated Auto Parts.
Every month, Motor Age hosts an ASE-style question related to content in their current print issue. Readers are encouraged to try their hand at the question and - whether answered correctly or not - enter their name for a chance to win a custom diecast collectible, suitable for display at home or at the shop!
The October question was:
Technician A says that a transmission shift solenoid can be tested like a fuel injector, by monitoring voltage and current with a scope. Technician B says that current flow through the solenoid must switch on cleanly and turn off cleanly for the solenoid to operate properly. Who is correct?
A. Technician A
B. Technician B
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B
You were correct if you answered C!
Technician A is correct. A fuel injector is a solenoid that depends on a magnetic field to open the pintle. A shift solenoid is similar in design and can be tested the same as the injector. Technician B is also correct. If the ECU driver does not complete the circuit cleanly, the magnetic field strength will be effected and could cause the solenoid to open late or not at all.

The newest regulation-sized baseball field in the 209 will have a touch of AT&T Park and a setting that will give Banner Island Park in Stockton a run for the money.
Work started this month on Islander Field — a 500-seat baseball filed nestled against the San Joaquin River as you enter the 11,000-home River Islands at Lathrop planned community via the Bradshaw Crossing bridge. Plans are to christen the field with its first game in early October.
The stadium is rising up along River Islands Parkway next door to six soccer fields that will be ready for play this fall. Like the baseball field, the soccer fields will also be lighted. The field façade was inspired by AT&T Park — home of the San Francisco Giants — and will even feature barrel palm trees on the plaza.
The complex is aimed at providing a regulation baseball venue for boys ages 13 to 18 not just in the River Islands community but also the rest of Lathrop as well as nearby cities such as Manteca and Tracy.
And like Banner Island in addition to 500 fixed seats there will be grassy seating behind the outfield. While Banner Islands where the Stockton Ports play the grass seating backs up to the Deep Water Channel, behind Islander Field’s outfields is the San Joaquin River along with 300-foot wide levee that is being developed as a continuous 18-mile greenbelt park with paved path encircling River Islands.
The baseball and soccer complexes — both being developed and operated by River Islands — are the latest adjustments to the planned community’s master plan to make the development as family friendly as possible.
River Islands Project Manager Susan Dell’Osso noted the baseball field is where the town square was envisioned. By building the baseball field there, River Islands wants to recreate the tight valley community feeling that existed a century ago when communities had baseball fields that doubled as community gathering places in downtown areas much like Manteca with its ball field where Library Park is today.
As soon as work is completed on the entrance plaza for The Islander Field, River Islands will start staging weekly farmers’ markets.
River Islands isn’t simply providing the fields. They are contracting with well-established and successful youth programs in the Bay Area to establish leagues, stage clinics, and organize tournaments.
Don Johns — president and head coach of the Danville-based Hoots Baseball Club that has produced an American Legion National Championship team and a Connie Mack World Series Finalists — will oversee the baseball program.
“River Islands is building an impressive facility for youth baseball,” Johns noted.
The Hoots Baseball Club founded in 1991 as an American Legion Baseball achieved multiple California State Championships, three World Series appearances, and the American Legion National Championship in 2000.
As the Bay Area base changed and showcase baseball emerged, the club moved from American Legion Baseball and in 2005 affiliated with Connie Mack Baseball, a division of American Amateur Baseball Congress.
The Hoots have won both State and West Regional Championships in Connie Mack Baseball to advance to the World Series in Farmington, New Mexico and become only the second team in 50 years from Northern California to achieve that goal.
The Hoots have had several players make it into the majors while many former players have gone on to successful collegiate careers.
The Danville-based Mustangs Soccer Club led by John Doyle will oversee the soccer programs at River Islands.
Doyle’s storied playing history includes the Olympics, historic firsts for the United States in the World Cup, and a distinguished Major Soccer League career that included five years as the San Jose Earthquakes team captain as well as a stint as general manager.
Doyle is also the director of the coaching staff for the highly-regarded Mustang Soccer League that’s based in Danville and is known for their elite club play.
The fields are being put in place in an area that eventually will serve as the town center of River Islands.
The Mustang program — when it is up and running on River Islands — will be open to youth players throughout the area.
Both sports facilities underscore Cambay Group’s relentless commitment to create and build a strong family-orientated community. The firm’s willingness to open its pocketbooks to launch the highly successfully and highly regarded River Islands Tech Academy charter school that’s located near the soccer fields’ site is another indication of that commitment.
It isn’t by chance that Danville is in the same neck-of-the-woods of Cambay Group’s last 20-year transformative development — the 11,000 home Dougherty Valley project.
Johns noted the addition of The Islander will give the San Joaquin-Stanislaus counties its sixth quality regulation baseball field. Besides the minor league Banner Islands facility in Stockton and John Thurman Field in Modesto that have fixed seating from 4,200 and 4,000 respectively, there is the former home of the Ports at Stockton’s Billy Hebert Field that seats 3,800. The islander will have more fixed seating that either Delta College or the University of the Pacific.

Japan To Release A Digital Nomad Visa
The global surge in technology and the widespread embrace of remote work following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic have reshaped the traditional work landscape.
Now, a full-time job no longer has to tether individuals to a specific location, offering a tantalising opportunity to explore the world and choose unconventional living spaces.
Joining other Asian countries, Japan has stepped into the digital nomad realm, presenting a new visa tailored for remote workers. However, while the allure of Japan as a top Asian destination is undeniable, potential applicants should be aware that the barriers to entry for this visa may be challenging for many.
For those who want to blend work and the enchanting landscapes of Japan's vibrant cities or majestic mountains, the good news is that the country is set to officially launch its digital nomad visa in March.
The announcement from Japan's Immigration Services Agency has confirmed the imminent issuance of the highly anticipated digital nomad visa. As reported by the Japan Times, this visa will be open to nationals from 49 countries, including the United Kingdom. Holders of the digital nomad visa will have the legal right to reside and work remotely from any location within Japan for a duration of up to six months.
However, meeting the criteria for this visa demands financial stability and health coverage. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate an annual income of at least 10 million Japanese Yen (approximately £54,356) and possess private health insurance. Freelancers and self-employed individuals are also eligible, provided they can prove their association with a company not based in Japan. Additionally, spouses and children of visa holders will be granted the privilege of living in Japan.
Despite the stringent requirements, the digital nomad visa is expected to gain significant popularity. This development stems from a survey of digital nomads, revealing a strong preference for extended stays beyond the current 90-day visa-free tourist period.
Details on the application process for Japan's digital nomad visa are currently limited, with further information anticipated in the coming weeks. Japan joins the ranks of countries, including South Korea, Canada, and Spain, that have recently introduced similar visas, reflecting the global shift towards accommodating the needs and preferences of the modern remote workforce.
