Disputed Kashmir Wrestles With How To Bring Back Hindus
It's been two decades since the flight of many Kashmiri Hindus after an insurgency targeted them. Now even Kashmir Muslims want them to return.
JAMMUÂ —Â Avtar Krishan used to own a large house and a successful fruit business in the Indian-administered Kashmir. ButÂ in the 1990s, he was forced out ofÂ his home after anti-India armed insurgency eruptedÂ in the region.
Kashmir is a disputed territoryÂ between India and Pakistan since the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947. The two neighbors, both nuclear powers, have fought three bloody wars to gain control over the region.Â
Krishan now lives in a small room with his mother, his wife and their three grown children in a refugee camp in the northern city of Jammu, India. "We have seen many ups and downs, suffered a lot, but our emotional bond with Kashmir remains intact," he says.Â "That is the land of our ancestors, that's where we were born and brought up, that's where our language, culture and our unique history are based. And all at once, one day, we were deprived of all that and forced into a life of misery and misfortune. We live here, but we don't belong here, and it is so painful to be uprooted like this,"Â he said.
Some 300,000 other Hindus from KashmirÂ have similar stories. They say they no longer felt safe in the valleyÂ after the uprising.Â The murder of Hindus by Kashmiri militants further reinforced their sense of insecurity, triggering a mass migration.
Writer Smriti Kak, who also left her home, says they thought they would return. "We knew that we were coming back," she says.Â "Every week we used to just shift the goal posts that, next week, next month, we are going to be backÂ home, or at best six months. We thought the government would announce that the militants hadÂ all been flushed out and that thereÂ would beÂ no more tension, no more armed conflict, so everybody who hadÂ left could comeÂ back home.Â Nobody expected it to be this long."
Kashmiri Hindus make up nearly 5%Â of the valley's total population.Â For centuries, theyÂ lived side by side with their Muslim neighbors in peace and harmony.Â Their flight from the valley was thereforeÂ a major blow to Kashmir's old tradition of tolerance and communal harmony.Â It created a cultural void, prompting calls from the Muslim majority for their return.
"They are our own people," saysÂ ZareefÂ Ahmad,Â aÂ KashmiriÂ Muslim poet.Â "This land is as much theirs as it is ours.Â We have been appealing to them to come back because this is our shared home, and we are incomplete without each other.Â It is true that there is a political problem here, but that can't stop us from living together."
Over the years, ordinary Kashmiri Muslims, political leaders and almost all separatist groups have been urging the Kashmiri Hindus to return to their homes.Â But apart from a few hundred families, the community remained hesitant, citing security concerns.
Sushil Pandit is a member ofÂ the Kashmiri Hindu group Roots in Kashmir. "We moved out because there was a threat to our life," he says.Â "Today we're not going back just because there is a house all over again and a job and some cash thrown at us. The point is, what kind of Kashmir are we going back to?Â We are not waiting for an invitation to go back.Â Whenever the conditions are fine, we will go back."
The ruling Hindu nationalist party BJP wants to create separate townships in Kashmir where Hindus could live protected by government security forces.Â The Indian government plans to resettle tens of thousands of Hindus in three new townships in Muslim-dominated Kashmir.
"The very idea of addressing the problems of the communities that have been uprooted is to ensure for them a place of rehabilitation with respectability," saysÂ JatinderÂ Singh, a junior minister inÂ the prime minister's office.Â "We, as a party and as a government, are committed to a respectable and dignified return of KashmiriÂ HindusÂ to their place of origin, and there'sÂ no going back on that."
Many mainstream Kashmiri politicians and separatist groups fiercely opposeÂ the plan.Â They argue that it will further divide the two communities and make peace almost impossible. "It will be a recipe for disaster because it will create an atmosphere of fear and leave behind a legacy of hate and mistrust," saysÂ MohammadÂ YasinÂ Malik, chairman ofÂ theÂ JammuÂ and Kashmir Liberation Front.Â "Our coming generations that should go to school, play and grow up together — instead they will remain strangers and might even become enemies. We won't allow them to erect these walls of hatred and divide us."Â
The state government, which initially approved the plan, has since changed its position. "A separate homeland for Kashmiri Hindus is just not possible,"Â saysÂ Kashmir's Chief Minister Mufti MohammadÂ Sayeed.Â Whoever wants to come will have to live with us as before. We won't create separate clusters like they did in Israel. We won't allow our shared history to end like this."
Analysts say that the government should instead focus on resolving the conflict. More than 100,000 people have died in Kashmir since the beginning of anti-India militancy two decades ago.

Hotel owner HayMax Capital and its management arm, HayMax Hotels, have focused on highlighting the communities where their properties are located, especially with their latest, the Hotel Ketchum.
REPORT FROM THE U.S.—With the purchase and repositioning of the Hotel Ketchum in Ketchum, Idaho, HayMax Capital and its management arm, HayMax Hotels, have further increased their footprint in the independent hotel space.
Brothers Aaron and Michael Brown founded HayMax Capital in 2003 and moved into the hospitality space by acquiring two independent properties in Aspen, the Hotel Aspen in 2003 and the Molly Gibson Lodge in 2007, said Jeff Bay, managing director at HayMax Hotels. The company purchased the properties independent of each other and operated them separately for a number of years, he said.
Aspen has a rich mining heritage, he said, and the Molly Gibson Lodge is named after one of the most famous silver mines in the area. Upon purchasing the hotel, the company decided to keep the name to maintain its legacy and have a genuine connection with guests rather than coming up with a prefabricated approach.
In 2009, the company began to operate both hotels under one management umbrella. HayMax Hotels formally started when HayMax Capital purchased the Mount House Lodge in 2014 and operated it for about a year before it demolished the property and developed two luxury homes on the site.
HayMax’s newest property, the Hotel Ketchum, was previously a branded chain hotel, Bay said, and the company purposefully wanted to move from that into a unique, individualized property. Each of HayMax’s hotels was created with their own unique personality, he said, because the company wanted to embrace what makes the hotels’ geographic locations special, Bay said.
“We felt having a more genuine and connected experience with guests and being able to provide them with experiences that are unique and drafted to meet their needs was an area we could be successful in,” he said.
Michael Brown came to know the Ketchum area through his wife when the two were engaged, Bay said. He fell in love with the community and its combination of the arts, culture and outdoor recreation, he said. When the opportunity arose to purchase the Tamarack Lodge in 2015, the company took it.
Ketchum is the town nearest the well-known ski resort city of Sun Valley, drawing in tourists and outdoor enthusiasts from all over. Ketchum itself was originally a mining and sheep herding town before the area became known for its skiing, Bay said.
“When most people think about Sun Valley, they think about the mountains,” he said. “Ketchum is the town located here with the infrastructure, restaurants, stores and retail and community that serves the ski resorts.”
Ketchum was an attractive new location because it was similar to the environment in Aspen where HayMax already owned and operated two hotels, Bay said. When the company came on to the Ketchum hotel scene, they felt there wasn’t a property there that spoke to the genuineness of the area that represented a casual approach to enjoying Ketchum and the Sun Valley area.
There are wonderful upscale and chain properties, he said, but HayMax felt there was a demand for a dynamic hotel experience that was affordable but upscale.
“We found an undiscovered or underexposed location with the opportunity to come into its own,” he said. “There has been some recognition of Ketchum as a special place for the same reasons people would go to Aspen for.”
HayMax Capital isn’t actively looking for properties to acquire, Bay said, but if an opportunity presented itself, the company would consider it.
“We want to make the existing properties the strongest and best they can be in their own markets,” he said. “We’re continually looking at making improvements to the properties we currently own and operate. We have some forward-looking improvement plans and redevelopment plans for our properties in Aspen. We want to make sure we’re executing at the highest level without overextending ourselves beyond our ability to give the best service.”
Building Hotel Ketchum
When transforming the property that would become the Hotel Ketchum, they stripped it to the bare walls and rebuilt it, Bay said. The core building was still standing, but they redesigned the exterior architecture, replaced antiquated wood walkways with perforated steel beams, added LED lighting inside and out and redid the pool and spa areas. All of the guestrooms were reimagined, he said.
“We’re really trying to use a unique blend of locally-sourced art and design teams to create an affordable lodging experience with great amenities located in a town,” he said.
The property itself takes up a full city block, he said, and has 58 guestrooms with several retail and food-and-beverage components nearby. It also one of the few liquor licenses in the area.
“We are kind of curating an opportunity for guests to have a place to stay but experience unique retail and culinary options as well,” he said.
The company also plans to build a coffee shop, called Sheep Town Coffee, on property as well, he said.
Bay said the key to HayMax Hotels’ management style and overall success is its dynamic, hands on approach. All members of the management team are well versed in the different aspects of hotel operations, he said, and while they might wear a specific hat, each person has the knowledge of and ability to step in and assist in any area of the hotel.
“We created a dynamic and strategically strong team environment, and it’s allowed us to operate at a margin that’s more profitable,” he said. “We don’t need the depth and breadth of a staff of a similar sized hotel operation might require.”
The staff comprises hoteliers with years of experience managing hospitality operations, he said. This has allowed the company to use this their talents to manage multiple hotels in multiple locations without having a multilayered management structure, he said.
“We can operate efficiently and make decisions rapidly,” he said. “We’re in touch constantly with the properties we own and operate. We’re passionate about the properties we manage. All of us are committed to operating hotels in attractive areas while living and being part of those communities and giving back.”

Benny's Story: Finding the Best Fresh Food
Amy McLaughlin tried several fresh pet food delivery services, but none worked for her Chihuahua mix, Benny... until she discovered Nom Nom.
"This is by far the best quality and my dog loves the food. I'm just sorry it took me trying four or five other companies before I found you!"
Amy McLaughlin rescued her 13-year-old Chihuahua mix, Benny, about a year and a half ago. She'd previously only ever had
Since he was an older dog and had some issues like allergies and stomach problems, Amy knew she wanted to feed Benny well, and that she definitely did not want to give him kibble. But the issues persisted, despite trying several dog foods purported to be high-quality from local pet supply stores.
Trial and Error
After mentioning this at work, one of Amy's colleagues brought up the idea of home-delivered pet food. She decided to give it a shot, but had little success at first. One after another, she tried different fresh pet food delivery services and had issues with each. One Benny didn't like at all. Another he was semi-interested in, but neither he nor Amy
Nom Nom was next on her list to try, though she was naturally trepidatious about anything working, given her experiences with other companies. But after reading the positive reviews about Nom Nom's better taste, better look, and better results, she gave it a go—and was pleasantly surprised at how well things went from the very beginning. Much to Amy's relief and excitement, Benny "took to it right away... and his allergies are better and his poop is better!"
And it's not just her pup who's a fan: Amy raves about the convenience and reliability of Nom Nom.
"I love the packaging and the portions, that it comes in individual sizes I can give him. I like the variety. I like that it comes really cold, and always with dry ice. With some of the other companies, there wasn't the right packaging or ice, which caused issues."
After so much trial and error, she's especially thrilled to have discovered Nom Nom. "I just feel better giving him human-grade, really good quality food. I'm happy that I'm doing the best thing for him. This is by far the best quality and my dog loves the food. I'm just sorry it took me trying four or five other companies before I found you!"

I’ve been to Sealers many times – first time as a Grade 6er on a family trip to the Prom.
In March of 2011, there was a major rain event at the Prom, where about 300mm of rain fell in 24 hours. Much of the Prom was then closed, and the Sealers Cove track was closed for around 2 years. This was my first look at this track after the rain event. I had been in other parts of the prom and had seen creek beds gorged out, so I was expecting some interesting sights.
A good deal of the track had to be rebuilt. This is a look at the switchback section west of Windy Saddle:
The top soil was all cleaned away, back to the bare rock. Further down the hill, it looked like about 5m of soil had been removed.
The old Ferny Glade does not exist. The track was rerouted about 150m downstream from the old site, but there is no point going there – what remains of it can be seen from where the track now crosses the creek. The whole site slid down the hill. A big gully of about 10m of soil was removed. The track now heads down to the creek and then climbs on steps back out again to rejoin the old track.
Sealers Cove itself is as beautiful as always:
We crossed the creek at low tide, I was able to walk through the river without taking my boots off, and my feet remained dry.
We had time to head up to the lookouts near Horn Point. With the clouds coming in over the Cathedral Range, it looked quite wild. The Prom can be moody!
We stayed overnight in the Sealers camp site, and headed back towards the Telegraph Saddle carpark. This time we crossed the creek about halfway between low and high tide. The crossing was about 70cm deep. I would estimate it gets up to about 1.5m at high tide – you would have to either wait or float the packs across.
All in all, a nice 2 day trip for the family – and I then got to go up Mt Oberon for a little bit of Summits on the Air.

The Department of Defense published on Monday morning the transfer of Abdul Latif Nasir back to Morocco.
In 2016, the Periodic Review Board process dictated that his detention “no longer remained necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the national security of the United States.”
Back then, the board recommended he be authorized to return home, though officials were powerless to perform the process before the Obama administration ended. The Trump administration reaffirmed the Periodic Review Board process on Jan. 30, 2018, though did not complete Nasir’s repatriation.
Trump also transferred one prisoner throughout his time in office yet signed an executive order keeping Guantanamo open, and the final roadblock to closing the prison completely remains to decide what to do with the 40 detainees still housed within its walls.
The most infamous of that collection is undoubtedly Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a former al Qaeda member who is thought to be the architect of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. He and the rest of the "9/11 five," who are likewise being held at Guantanamo, are facing the death penalty over war crime charges. They were set to stand trial in January 2021, though Congress has repeatedly blocked efforts to transfer Guantanamo prisoners to the continental United States.
The review board consists of one senior career official from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and State, along with the Joint Chiefs Staff and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Nasir was captured on Dec. 15, 2001, as one of 52 fighters who were caught attempting to flee to Pakistan. He was transferred to U.S. custody on Jan. 21, 2002, and was taken to Guantanamo Bay on May 3 of that year, per a U.S. Department of Defense memo from 2008 published by WikiLeaks.
He met with Osama bin Laden in 1993 and later got training at many al Qaeda training camps where he trained in explosives and poisons.
Former President George W. Bush opened the detention center at Guantanamo Bay in 2002, and at its peak, the facility housed almost 800 detainees, according to NBC News.
"They don't want it to become a dominant issue that blows up," a Biden administration official involved in the discussions told NBC News. "They don't want it to become a lightning rod. They want it to be methodical, orderly."
President Barack Obama pledged to shut down the facility throughout his campaign, yet his attempts were eventually unsuccessful. During his term, however, the number of detainees was reduced from 245 to 41.
There are 39 detainees remaining in Guantanamo Bay.

metalmen distributes a wide range of pure metals for all your application requirements. Pure metals are those metals that have not been alloyed with other metallic elements; commercially pure metals are 99% pure minimum. Some of the metals listed below are available as commercially pure and many can be manufactured to be extremely pure, often 99.999% minimum, referred to as “five nines min.”
For example, Aluminum 1100 is considered to be commercially pure aluminum – it is 99% pure minimum. Our high purity aluminum can be manufactured up to 99.999% pure. Please note that we will seek to attain the purity level that you request; for example, 99.9%, 99.99% min. If your application demands pure metals, call us or send us your request for quote (RFQ). Our staff is prepared to work with you to determine the purity or dimensional options available to get you the pure materials that you need. Please note that not all metals can be made in all form at high purities.
Below is a list of all of those pure metals we offer. However, our manufacturing partners can do more than what’s on the list. If you require a metallic element and don’t see what you’re looking for, make sure to ask!
As stated earlier, alum 1100, often referred to as commercially pure, is at least 99% pure aluminum. Its other main components are copper (.05% to .2%), silicon + iron (.95% max), manganese (.05% max), zinc (.1% max) and residuals (.15% max). Alum 1100 is the strongest of the 1000-series aluminums. Yet, it maintains the other benefits of lightly alloyed aluminum, such as high thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity, workability and corrosion resistance. Commercially pure aluminum 1100 is popular for use with: rivets, sheet metal, railroad tank cars, electrical uses, chemical equipment, dials, reflectors, name plates, sculpture armatures, and cooking utensils. The other 1000 series aluminum – Al 1145 – is widely available as light gauge foil. High Pure Aluminum up to 99.999% minimum can be manufactured in most forms – please inquire.
Commercially pure coppers are represented by the designations C10100 to C13000 with Copper 101 being the purest available in distribution. All of them are soft in the annealed condition, their other characteristics vary slightly because of their different levels of purity, or if manufactured with incremental temper. Pure copper is used for electrical contacts, cables, conductive wires and many other parts that must pass electrical current. High pure Coppers can be custom processed or manufactured – call to discuss your request.
There are limits to what can be manufactured in pure Chrome due to the extremely brittle nature of this metal. Call us with min purity and dimensions. Our staff is happy to “field-test” your request.
Nickel 200 is considered “commercially pure.” It is 99% pure. It offers good magnetostrictive, thermal, electrical and mechanical properties, as well as excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, it exhibits good solderability, weldability and ductility qualities. Most often, pure nickel is used to make: aerospace components, battery terminals/connections, electrical and electronic components and wires for heating elements. If higher purities are specified, call us to determine if your part can be manufactured.
Niobium, also known as Columbium, is an important metal for medical and scientific applications. Vacuum grade (minimum 99.8%) pure niobium is used for superalloy production. Pure niobium is also useful for creating superconducting magnets in medical and scientific equipment, and applying thin layers on glass and optics. It has excellent superconductor properties and maintains mechanical strength at high temperatures.
Pure iron is typically about 99.8% pure, with small amounts of carbon and manganese present and the traces of other elements. Pure iron has outstanding magnetic properties and excellent cold and hot forming capabilities. Commercially pure iron is suitable for welding projects of all kinds, and is used to manufacture items such as: MRI scanners, fuse wire, lighting conductors, magnets, welding rods and gaskets. It is popular for use in the petrochemical, automotive, aviation and construction industries.
High pure Magnesium can be processed into many different forms within certain dimensional limits. Lower purity Magnesium around 95% (basically an alloy) is widely available as rod, sheet and plate.

Pure tantalum (Ta), with a purity level upwards of 99.9%, is a rare, blue-gray and lustrous metal. Its atomic number is 73. It is highly corrosion resistant, ductile and it conducts electricity and heat very well. Most often, this metal is used in the production of capacitors, foil and some high-power resistor types and is used as an alloying element.
There are three grades of commercially pure titanium available. Grade 1 is the softest and has the highest level of ductility. In addition, it has high impact strength, excellent corrosion resistance, superior welding characteristics and good cold forming properties. This grade of commercially pure titanium is best for medical, marine, architectural, chlorate manufacturing, dimensionally stable anode and automotive desalination applications.
Commercially pure titanium Grade 2 has moderate strength, excellent welding properties, superior cold forming properties and impressive corrosion and oxidation resistance. Grade 2 commercially pure titanium works well for applications in: aerospace, architecture, automotive engineering, desalination, chemical processing, chlorate manufacturing, healthcare, hydrocarbon processing, power generation and marine manufacturing.
Finally, Commercially Pure Titanium Grade 4 is highly corrosion resistant in a wide range of environments. It is also stronger than both CP Grades 2 and 3. It may be cold formed, but does not have as high ductility as the others. It is used most often with applications requiring high strength, such as industrial manufacturing, surgery and prosthesis, marine manufacturing, chemical processing and aerospace.
Tungsten is a metal element with the atomic number 74. It has the highest melting point of all the metals. It exhibits high density, good electrical resistivity at extremely high temperatures, uncommonly high strength and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. While tungsten can be quite hard to work with, it has many applications.

To the Editor:
As an individual who was only baptized as a Catholic, I was very disappointed to read Jacqueline Costrini’s opinion piece from Thursday (“Modern’ pope antithetical to Church’s identity,” 4/21). It is exactly her sort of intolerance that pushes moderate, marginal Catholics away from the Church in the first place.
Perhaps Costrini should be excused; after all, she did take on the rather Herculean task of giving rational expression to her blind faith in the Vatican. However, the ultimatum she gives between either accepting the Pope’s authority or renouncing Catholicism is entirely unacceptable. Wasn’t Christianity founded on tolerance? Although I, like most people, do believe in absolute morality, I refuse to accept a parallel between “terrorism” and homosexuality as two forms of absolute wrong. I prefer to leave those questions to God.
Costrini should think twice before presuming to tell us who does and does not want to be a Catholic. For many, Catholicism is about the ideals expressed in the divine person of Jesus, not Benedict XVI. Those people who subscribe to this notion are just as Catholic as any other. I personally may not be a practicing Catholic, but it is views like those expressed by Costrini that make becoming one look wholly unpleasant.

To the Editor:
I am one of the students whom Jacqui Costrini describes as being disappointed about the choice of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new pope. As a Catholic, I disagree fervently with her implication that there is no room for the Church’s teachings to evolve as we grow into a more mature understanding of God’s plan for us.
I am not looking for the Church to change its teachings merely to align with “modern societal views.” However, I am disturbed by the way that some Catholics, including Benedict XVI, seem to believe that people seeking reform “don’t want to be Catholic.” Reform is a process that has occurred in the Church over the past 2,000 years, and that should continue. The increased participation of the congregation in the mass, the church’s renewed emphasis on social justice and the introduction of female altar servers are only a few examples of how the Church hierarchy has acknowledged the continuing revelation of Christ and the changing needs of the Church’s members. I particularly question whether the Church’s present views on the role of women are divinely derived or rather the product of human imperfection.
As individuals, we do not remain static in our quest to live as believers. Instead, we constantly acknowledge our shortcomings and work to better express the love of Christ in our words and actions. Shouldn’t the Church as an institution do the same?

With much debate circulating about how to manage high-bandwidth services, one analyst has explained providers' problems.
Commentating on the PlusNet blog, Dave Tomlinson has recently offered a breakdown of some of the costs associated with offering high-speed broadband services.
Technology columnist Charles Arthur at the Guardian has called it a "fascinating explanation of the real costs" faced by UK internet service providers (ISPs).
Figures cited include a monthly breakdown of supplying 200,000 people with broadband services, which Mr Tomlinson notes can cost ISPs as much as £1.7 million.
These costs arise from the monthly line rental fees that many ISPs pay BT to connect customers to telephone exchanges.
Cost problems highlighted by recent debates about the success of BBC's iPlayer and similar services are also enumerated, with customers using high-bandwidth services such as video streaming and online gaming found to cost ISPs as much as £150 each per month.
The BBC announced recently that its iPlayer service saw a 66 per cent increase in video-streaming volumes since December 1st.

1. When our campaign for a day of rememberance for honour killing victims succeededWe spent a lot of time last year, along with charity Karma Nirvana, working to achieve a day to remember all the victims of honour killings, a practice that is tragically common in some cultures around the world. And after 100,000 people signed a petition to support the important cause, we finally succeeded. The day of rememberance will be held on July 14th every year, starting from this year, to mark the birthday of 17-year-old honour killing victim, Shafilea Ahmed. Shafilea was tragically murdered by her parents in front of her sister, after she refused to go through with the arranged marriage they had planned. Although there's a long way to go to eradicate honour killings for good, this certainly marks an impactful first step.
2. When the law on domestic abuse was broadenedIn December, home secretary Theresa May announced that a new domestic abuse offence of 'coercive control' was being introduced into our judicial system. It's widely, and mistakenly, believed that domestic abuse must result in bruises, burns, marks or scars to be a credible criminal case. But the new introduction to the law proved that emotional abuse can be just as damaging. Now, if partners are found guilty of being overly controlling or emotionally manipulative towards a woman, they can be sentenced up to five years in prison, as well as a fine. An important progression in the prevention of all kinds of domestic abuse.
3. When women in the limelight campaigned to #AskHerMore
4. When a Russian lesbian couple stood up for their sexuality
In an incredible display of defiance, a female same-sex couple from Russia posed for a kissafter realising they were sitting just a couple of rows in front of one of the country's most prolific homophobic politicians, St. Petersburg city council member Vitaly Milonov. Sharing the photo with the world, the girls uploaded it to Instagram with a caption reading: "Who's that in the background??? MILONOV! And we don't give a fuck! We're flying to our favorite club, Infinity". POWER to the women.
5. When Kim Sears proved that women can swear, tooAndy Murray's fiancé was pictured in the heat of a very exciting moment while watching her superstar tennis player partner compete in the Australian Open. Cameras caught the artist effing and blinding, and it cause a bit of - excuse our language - a shit storm in the media. So how did she respons at Andy's next match? By wearing a "Parental Advisory: explicit content" jumper. Way to stick it to the man, Kim.
6. When the #SmearForSmear campaign took hold
Maybe the execution wasn't the best, but it at least got us all talking about smear tests.
7. When Angelina Jolie gave us shivers while opening a centre to fight warzone violence against womenThe London School of Economics established a revolutionary centre for learning in February this year, which actress and campaigner Angelina Jolie opened. The centre aims to invite activists, policymakers and academics together to construct realistic plans for tackling widespread issues centred around the brutality with which women in areas of violence are treated. But it was Ange's speech that really got us, as she discussed her recent trip to Northern Iraq, where she met some of the millions of refugees who have been forced out of their homes by ISIS.
"If you were to ask me who I think this centre is for, I picture someone who is not in this room today, I think of a girl I met in Iraq three weeks ago. She is 13 years old, but instead of going to school, she sits on the floor in a makeshift tent."
"Now she may never be able to complete her education, or get married or have a family, because in her society victims of rape are shunned, and considered shameful. To my mind, what we have begun today at LSE is for that Iraqi girl and others like her."
8. When Emma Holten, a victim of revenge porn, reclaimed her own body
Aged just17, Danish activist Emma Holten found herself the victim of revenge porn. Without her consent, someone had posted private pictures of her naked online. But three years later, rather than being damaged at the gross violation of her own body, she has embarked on a project - CONSENT - to liberate herself on her own terms. Posing naked at her own choice, being pictured doing the most banal daily tasks, Emma intended to try and remove the sexualisation that men impose on nudity. Completely powerful, and empowering.
9. When a young Indian woman called out a man for inappropriately touching her
India is renowned for its mistreatment of women, so when footage emerged of a young woman irately asking a middle-aged man why he felt it appropriate to repeatedly touch herwhen sitting next to her on the plane, it was incredibly powerful. Questioning him, she said: "Did you do it only once? Was it by mistake? Look at how old you are. Old moron. Half way into your grave and still not wise enough."
And when he attempted to apologise, she simply replied: "Why? Why, please? I'm sorry, please. I'm sorry that I'm a girl! Please, forgive me, for I dare to travel alone as a woman. I'm so sorry for that!"
10. When the first female bishop for the Church of England was appointedIt's pretty darn cool that Reverend Libby Lane was appointed the first female Bishop in the Church of England just a month after a legislation was passed for female Bishops to be allowed in the CofE. Twenty years after women were allowed to become priests, it's a very big step in the right direction for women in the church. Ordained a deacon in 1993 and a priest in 1994, Libby Lane has also held the role of Dean of Women in Ministry for the diocese of Chester. Lane has now been named the new Bishop of Stockport. Her response was the best - and seriously badass: "I'm honoured and thankful to be called to serve as the next Bishop of Stockport and not a little daunted to be entrusted with such a ministry." NOT A LITTLE DAUNTED. What a lady.
11. When Columbia students carried mattresses to their classes as an act of defiance against the campus rapist
12. When equal pay became more of a reality
After two years of in house lobbying beginning with Cosmo's The F Word campaign which sought FAIR and equal pay, a new act has been passed which vows to publish information showing the gap between male and female pay. The Equal (Transparency) Bill was backed by over 250 MPs, with only 8 voting against it - 7 of which were male MPs, and one who abstained. Although it's not a complete reform - with women still shockingly taking home 81p to men's £1 - it's a step in the right direction.
13. When Malala Yousafzai became the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize2014 saw the rise of child activist Malala Yousafzai, who at age 17, became the youngest Nobel Peace laureate when she was co-award the accolade this year for her work as an activist for children's rights and female education. Her work in raising the profile of female education has been profound and was a special moment for young girls around the world when she was rewarded with one of the most coveted prizes in the world.
14. When the Pussy Riot members sued Russian Government for their imprisonment over a 'punk prayer' protest
In February 2012, the Russian punk band Pussy Riot held a protest in Christ the Saviour cathedral where they attempted to perform their song Mother of God, Drive Putin Out. Three members of the group were arrested, convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in a prison colony. Two years for activating their basic human right for free speech. According to an interview with Vanity Fair, the conditions in which they were held involved "holding women outside in the cold for hours and days and at times denying them even the right to wash." In April 2014, two members of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina delivered their first English speech at the fifth annual Women In The World Summit at New York's Lincoln Centre. In July, they sued the Russian Government at the European Court of Human Rights, arguing that their imprisonment violated their rights and resulted in torture. Standing up for their rights to free speech is one thing; standing up for their right - and for the rights of women everywhere - not to be tortured is another. Riot on.
15. Emma Watson's UN speech and #heforshe campaign
I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and, unattractive. Why is the word such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.
Yeah. That is downright BADASS.
16. How Jennifer Lawrence and Gabrielle Union responded to the nude picture leak hacking scandalThis year saw one of the worst celebrity hacking scandals, where nude photos were leaked from private iCloud accounts for all the internet to see. Jennifer Lawrence was one of the most prominent celebrities hit by this scandal. Deservedly furious, Lawrence decided to project her frustration in a calm manner; she went silent online and then addressed the issue during her cover interview with Vanity Fair, referring to the hack as a sex crime: "Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world." Gabrielle Union was another celebrity who spoke out about the leak, in an essay for Cosmo US, even describing a horrific college rape experience.
I didn't like the public perception of this scandal — that we were just a bunch of narcissistic, sexually deviant celebrities who got what we deserved for being dumb. No one deserves to have a private moment stolen, whether it's a photo, text, or email. Everyone has intimate parts of their life they don't want the public to see. It's not a career boost — it's a new form of sexual abuse. Other people think that they are entitled to know everything about us because we are celebrities, in the public eye. No. If I show my husband my naked body, it doesn't mean everyone gets to see it. And people sometimes argue: But you wear skimpy bikinis — what's the difference? The difference is that you are the one who chooses whether to show your body. When billions of people on the Internet can see you naked without your consent, it's a crime.
Both Lawrence and Union's responses proved that sexism requires a voice to stand up against it.
17. When the state of California passed a bill requiring schools to define sexual consent
In August, California state legislators passed a bill which defined the 'yes means yes' campaign, giving specific guidelines to college campuses when it comes to investigating sexual assault reports. The definition of consent under the bill is: "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity." It also says that silence or lack of resistance does not equate to consent. "With one in five women on college campuses experiencing sexual assault, it is high time the conversation regarding sexual assault be shifted to one of prevention, justice, and healing," said State senator Kevin de Leon. A definite triumph as the first state in the country to have such a bill.
18. When the #WhyIStayed hashtag brought to light the impact of domestic abuse on womenFollowing the horrific video of American football star Ray Rice visibly assaulting his then-fiancee Janay Palmer and dragging her unconscious body out of an elevator, there was a lot of criticism as to why Palmer then stayed with her abuser and continued to marry him just one day after the assault. This backlash brought forward a storm of tweets by women who had been domestically abused explaining why they couldn't leave their abusive partners. #WhyIStayed was a place where victims could share their stories and offer support to fellow sufferers. The result was a startling insight into domestic violence and changed our opinions on how we treat victims.
19. When Laverne Cox changed the game in transgender stereotypes as the cover star of TIME Magazine
There's not just one trans story. There's not just one trans experience. And I think what they need to understand is that not everybody who is born feels that their gender identity is in alignment with what they're assigned at birth, based on their genitalia. If someone needs to express their gender in a way that is different, that is okay, and they should not be denied healthcare. They should not be bullied. They don't deserve to be victims of violence. … That's what people need to understand, that it's okay and that if you are uncomfortable with it, then you need to look at yourself.

The actor's dress sense has been admired by fashion icons such as Victoria Beckham and fellow star Neha Dhupia.
She told Mumbai Mirror: "[I never imagined it] even in my wildest dreams. I was pretty sure that I would end up as a librarian in a university wearing thick glasses, surrounded by loads and loads of books. I'm sure people from my school are still in a state of shock!"
In June, Kapoor said that she loves to inspire other young women to dress up.
The 28-year-old has revealed before that she only became interested in clothing after losing weight as a teenager.

Cayman’s plentiful sun, wind and water are all touted as ways to provide energy that are eco- friendly alternatives to fossil fuels.
One member of the Legislative Assembly wants to set a series of national benchmarks toward one- hundred percent renewable energy and is picking up endorsements for his plan.
The Cayman Renewable Energy Association (CREA) is giving full support to Winston Connolly’s bill.
They say Grand Cayman has one of the highest carbon footprints per-capita in the world and neighboring caribbean countries are making tremendous strides to lower their carbon emissions and combat sea level rise.
“It’s no secret that burning fossil fuels causes greenhouse gas emissions which causes climate change , and low lying island nations like the Cayman Islands are the front lines of climate change, so our children and our grandchildren are going to have to deal with things like sea level rise, that if we don’t try to mitigate these impacts, are going to have catastrophic repercussions for our economy in tourism and finance and our children and grandchildren are going to have to find a new way to live if we don’t do anything,” said CREA President James E. Whittaker.
Mr. Connolly’s plan is to have Cayman get 30% of its power from renewable energy sources by 2020, 50% by 2025 and 100% by 2035.
The bill would also set a goal of having 20% of Cayman’s vehicles be electric by 2020.

(136)
Information about the commercial updates away from widows throughout the age instantly prior to the fresh new amendments off 1972 from the newest months is seen in Dining table 4. Impoverishment pricing for both widows old 65 otherwise old whom located Societal Security and for widows old 65 or elderly who do not discovered Societal Safeguards are offered.

The current policy conversation over benefit prices try fastened each other generally and you may specifically for the historic argument on the topic
This new question reflected throughout the Senate Finance Committee summary of widows that have insufficient full income are borne out in the information and knowledge. Nearly thirty years once old-widow professionals was in fact added to the Societal Safeguards system, economic hardship had been prevalent certainly one of more mature widows: Inside 1967, 2 from every 5 aged widows finding Societal Safety had money below the specialized poverty line. By 1973, however, the fresh new poverty speed certainly old widows acquiring Societal Defense got fallen just to more than 23 percent, while the latest poverty rate among old widows in the place of Social Security remained in the their 1967 quantity of 40 percent. nine

No less than to help you a restricted the amount how to find a real sugar daddy in colorado, after that, the goals off Congress during the 1972 were reached: Program laws now exists one present many parity between the work with levels of widows and specialists, and you will month-to-month masters are sufficient so you’re able to normally promote at the very least a moderate quantity of income from inside the retirement.

Up & Running
After the topping out ceremony of the GO:IN 2 Building on June 9th, Potsdam Science Park continues to grow. A good opportunity for companies and startups to settle in Potsdam-Golm – in a liveable environment and in direct proximity to top international research and university education.
Topping out ceremony for GO:IN 2
It was another milestone for Potsdam as a location for science: After its groundbreaking ceremony on November 28, 2019, the GO:IN 2 building (currently under construction) celebrated its topping-out ceremony on June 9, 2020 – with important guests such as Potsdam’s mayor Mike Schubert and the Managing Director of Technologie und Gewerbezentren GmbH Steffen Schramm. The official opening of the new office and laboratory complex is scheduled for June 2021. With 6,300 square meters of space, the GO:IN 2 will enable companies and research institutions to (co-)work in a stimulating and concentrated fashion. “The construction of GO:IN 2 is another important step in the development of the Potsdam Science Park. With a further business incubator in Potsdam-Golm, we can now offer the urgently needed small-scale and flexible office and laboratory spaces at the Science Park. New small and medium-sized companies and startups can now settle here and in the neighbouring new office and laboratory complexes within walking distance from the University of Potsdam and the Max-Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes.” says Agnes von Matuschka, Managing Director of the local park management, Standortmanagement Golm GmbH, at the Potsdam Science Park.
A space for business and research
Meanwhile, planning for the Technology Campus continues. On an area of around 10 hectares, further spaces for companies and the University of Potsdam are beeing created.
After completion of the development planning, the ProPotsdam GmbH received the go ahead to sell plots of land in March 2020, with a seven-hectare site intended for the creation of technology- and research-oriented as well as knowledge-based companies.
An additional three hectares are reserved for the University of Potsdam: With over 21,000 students and around 3,000 employees, the university ranks among the most renowned tertiary institutions in Germany. Now, to meet the increasing demand in the field of information technology, a new building for the Institute of Computer Science is to be constructed to offer space for around 800 students. In the future, further buildings will meet the existing high demand, accelerate expansion and create additional capacity for the University.
Behind the prominent building of the departmental university library (IKMZ), the new research building for the “Earth & Environment Centre” (EEC) and the Centre for Natural Product Genomics (NSG), where science and industry will meet, is also taking shape. In the future, it will not only provide space for studying and working to university students and employees, but will also allow employees of various companies to conduct workshops and trainings. Additionally, the new building will also house a drone lab and a 3D laboratory.
A success story – with a sequel
The extensions to the TECHNOLOGY CAMPUS and the further investment in the LAB CAMPUS with the GO:IN 2, the H-LAB are intended to continue the success story of the Potsdam Science Park.
With a total area of 60 hectares, the Potsdam Science Park is now one of the largest locations for science in the capital region and includes the Golm Campus of the University of Potsdam with the Faculties of Human Sciences and Natural Sciences, two Fraunhofer Institutes, three Max Planck Institutes, the GO:IN Technology and Start-Up Centre as well as the Brandenburg State Archive. As the largest and fastest growing location for innovation in Brandenburg and a vibrant place of knowledge, the Potsdam Science Park connects international top-level research and university education with research-oriented start-ups and companies.
Networking and mutual exchange between renowned research institutions and innovative companies are the focus. Over the next ten years, the park is expected to create around 1000 new jobs in the capital region.
A vivid entrepreneurial atmosphere
Interestingly, the atmosphere at the park did not lose any of its entrepreneurial drive during the recent pandemic. If anything, it became especially visible. The community at the park already has established formats to engage members from academia, startups and other corporations on a regular basis, most prominently in its two lecture series, Future2Go and Science2Go.
Future2Go is targeted at alumni of the various institutions, such as Students, PhDs and PostDocs and is intended to present alternative paths to a classical academic research career. Through presentations given by Alumni that have already successfully switched careers, young researchers are actively encouraged to think outside the box in regard to their future.
In the corresponding format, Science2Go, various scientific research topics are presented by researchers and other staff members working at and living nearby the Potsdam Science Park. Both lecture series are usually held in front of and in exchange with a live audience. During the pandemic, this became impossible. While both series had to be paused initially, their hiatus did not last for too long. Instead, they were quickly moved to a new online format. – With encouraging results. “From what we can observe so far, participation at these events has actually risen since we conduct them online.”, says Agnes von Matuschka, executive director of the location management (Standortmanagement Golm GmbH) at Potsdam Science Park: “To us, this confirms the special mindset that the community at the science park shares. People here are open to innovative solutions and curious to hear what has become of former colleagues or what they are researching. However, the majority would like to see our events of genuine face-to-face exchange return, soon.”

Virtual private network (VPN) capabilities will shift into a higher gear in 2000 after encryption co-processors from two hardware makers hit the market with 155Mbit/sec performance.
The co-processors, which offload the computing-intensive work of data encryption from the CPUs of networking devices, may also lead to more IP VPN capabilities being placed on routers.
Both Chrysalis-ITS and Hi/fn Inc will make available by year's end co-processors that can perform user authentication and Triple-DES encryption at OC-3, or 155Mbit/sec. This is generally the top speed of enterprise connections to the WAN today.
Chrysalis officials said the company will market a co-processor board to makers of large routers, such as Cisco Systems. Hi/fn, which has OEM agreements with many access and VPN equipment makers, has met with Cisco to discuss its own OC-3 co-processor.
The VPN market today is dominated by specialised devices, some of which have been said to provide security functions at nearly 100Mbit/sec. Some observers said combining VPN functions in a router could simplify administration, but most routers need a boost to make a VPN run at acceptable speeds.
"The last thing users want is another box to manage, so to the extent that you can put the VPN functionality in the router, it's always in your interest to effect that level of consolidation," said John Morency, an analyst at Renaissance Worldwide.
But others said routers have a long way to go as VPN solutions.
"For smaller sites without a high bandwidth requirement and that aren't terminating a lot of remote-access users, a router is alright," said Jeff Wilson, an analyst at Infonetics Research. "But sites with a lot of bandwidth requirements or a lot of users are going to need something else." www.chrysalis-its.comwww.hifn.com

A woman is being bashed after she brought her baby to a hookah restaurant, costing her party to ultimately lose their booking deposit on the table.
The now-viral Reddit post, titled, “AITA for ‘alienating’ a friend after we walked out and lost our deposit because she brought her baby to the restaurant,” has garnered 9,900 upvotes and over 900 comments since it was shared on May 19.
According to Statista, a survey conducted in countries in the European Union found that 13 percent of respondents have tried smoking from a water pipe, shisha, or hookah.
The post was shared by Redditor @cutepiano1 to the subreddit “Am I the A**hole,” and they revealed that a group of five friends, the original poster (OP) included, had planned to go to a restaurant “known” for their shisha, which the whole group enjoyed.
Details were planned in a group chat, and the OP said everyone had been to the restaurant before, so they all knew what to expect: The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor area is a regular restaurant while the outdoor area is where people can smoke cigarettes and hookah.
The friends booked the restaurant a week in advance so they could get a table on a busy Friday night.
“We get there, and one of our friends [shows] up with her baby,” the OP said. “Everyone is like wtf?”
They asked the woman if she was alright with the baby being around the smoke, and she said, “I was hoping we wouldn’t smoke this time. I had to bring the baby because the sitter I hired canceled.”
The OP relayed that even if they didn’t smoke, since they had an outdoor table booked, they would be surrounded by people who would be smoking. “I guess she hadn’t thought that far ahead, because she looked a bit panicked,” they added.
They asked a staff member if it was possible to get an indoor table, but the waiter said they were completely booked. So, if they wanted to eat there, they had to sit in the area they had booked.
“People were a bit unhappy, but none of us wanted to ask her to leave since she came all the way, and she was our friend. So, we walked out. We lost our deposit, and each of us paid our share of it to the person that booked the table. But our friend with the baby didn’t.”
The Redditor also said, “We felt bad since she came all the way, so we all [agreed] to leave if we paid the deposit equally.” The group went to McDonald’s after ditching the restaurant, so the night wasn’t completely lost.
When asked for her portion of the deposit, the woman said she’d pay it back, but when “pushed,” she added that she didn’t believe she owed anything. She also asked how they can ask a new mother on a “limited budget for money.”
The OP concluded, “People were angry and haven’t really invited her anywhere since. She called me crying yesterday saying that we’re alienating her over something petty and that she feels depressed that no one from our group has called to see how she’s been in a while.”
‘Am I The A**hole?’
People are slamming the woman for not only bringing her child to the hookah restaurant in the first place but also for her reaction to being asked for her portion of the deposit.
Several Redditors reasoned if a parent can’t find a babysitter, then they can’t go out, adding that it’s a part of having a child.
“Your hands are tied while it needs care,” they added. “I can sympathize with a new mom who’s stressed, tired, and aching for adult company, but this was still a poor decision.”
Another user, who doesn’t think the OP is in the wrong, thinks the “petty” issue is the woman “not offering to pay the whole deposit, since losing the deposit was objectively her fault.”
Several called the baby-toting woman “selfish.”
“Regardless of having a kid, she made it worse by not paying up when asked,” they pointed out. “You guys are right to not invite her to anything else.”
Another didn’t stop there. “There are reasonable behaviors and bringing a baby to a shisha bar is not one,” they said. “If you were going to a club, showing up with a baby would be completely unacceptable. This is no different.”
Some were quite literally shocked that a woman would bring her baby to a place with hookah.
“You don’t bring a baby to a hookah lounge. Wtf. Just, ugh. The sitter cancels, tough luck, time for her to stay home for the night.”
A few offered up advice to the OP on what to do about the woman. “NTA, tell her she needs to apologize and pay everyone back for the whole deposit or find friends that enjoy paying to have their night ruined,” a user expressed.
Newsweek reached out to Redditor @cutepiano1 for comment.
This isn’t the only viral post involving friends.
A woman found support online for wanting her own bed on vacation with friends.
The Internet bashed a teen’s text disinviting a friend from their party.
In addition, a woman was backed for wanting her friend to send her money through Venmo after dinner.

A fight is raging across Arizona – parents, foster parents, activists, lawyers and even the Arizona Republic are refusing to back down against the state’s apathetic resistance to real, meaningful solutions for its outrageous record as the top state in the nation for child removals. Arizona has taken children out of their homes at a rate far higher than any other state in the country. And Phoenix (Maricopa county) ranks as the city with the highest rate of child removals by CPS – higher than New York, L.A., or any other major U.S. city. The state’s shameful record goes back a decade or more, and frequently opposition has been disconnected or silenced. More and more families have been destroyed, children lost, and lives broken. But no more – activists, legislators and local media are gaining strength and momentum.
California civil rights attorney Shawn McMillan recently sat down and spoke with Tammi Stefano of the National Safe Child show regarding his work in litigating against corruption within Child Protection Services (CPS). McMillan gained national headlines at the end of 2016 in a case against Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) when a jury awarded his client, Rafaelina Duval, $3.1 million in damages for wrongfully seizing her child. In this interview with Tammi Stefano, McMillan explains how he makes his living by exclusively suing county and state agencies that are involved in child abuse investigations, and violate parents' and children's Constitutional rights by misrepresenting facts to the court, either when they remove the children from the home, or afterwards. When Stefano asks McMillan why he does this, why he is so passionate about it, McMillan states: "They're stealing kids."
After a six-year court battle, a mother in Los Angeles who lost custody of her 15-month-old baby through false abuse charges won a major battle for parental rights last week. When Rafaelina Duval’s son Ryan was seized by L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) in 2010, she was falsely accused of intentionally starving him. He had been diagnosed by a pediatrician with “failure to thrive,” but the doctor at the time also noted that the child was in no immediate danger, according to Duval’s attorney, Shawn McMillan. In a stunning blow to Los Angeles County, the jury found that its DCFS social workers “intentionally and willfully” seized her child without a warrant, and did so “with malice.” Additionally, the jury found that the county DCFS had “an official custom and/or practice of seizing children from their parents without a warrant” and failed “to enact an official policy or procedure when it should have done so.” The jury awarded Duval $2.94 million in compensatory damages, plus $165,000 after finding in a separate verdict that she was the victim of discrimination.
Attorney Shawn McMillan is continuing his fight against the corrupt Child and Protective Services in California, and has now filed a class action lawsuit against Orange County California for allegedly seizing more 5000 children in State-sponsored kidnappings. This follows his December 2014 class action lawsuit against CPS in Riverside County in California, which is also accused of kidnapping "thousands" of children without cause.
The City of San Diego will pay $225,000 to settle a civil suit filed by a teen mom who lost parental rights to her daughter just days after the child’s birth. Johnneisha Kemper says San Diego Police officers took her baby away in 2008, just days after she gave birth at the age of 16, claiming she was unfit to raise the newborn. Now, the city of San Diego has approved a settlement in the civil rights lawsuit filed alleging the SDPD took the child without threat or warrant. “The system did fail her in every way that she could have been failed,” her attorney Shawn McMillan told NBC 7. McMillan said they pushed for a policy change and training for officers in how they remove children but the City refused and even offered more money instead agreeing to change. McMillan has been fighting for the parents, he says, are being ripped away from their children. "We see this over and over and over again. We know it's a systemic problem, and we've been looking for a way to address this systemic problem so we can get real permanent change,” he said. That change he’s hoping will come from a federal class action lawsuit filed this week in Riverside County. The plaintiff is a newborn. The lawsuit says the baby was taken from its mother without a warrant by the Riverside County Department of Social Services while the two were still in the hospital. "You absolutely cannot seize a child from its parents unless there is reasonable evidence to show that the child is likely to suffer severe bodily injury or death in a two hours it takes to get a warrant,” said McMillan. "You saw what the police in San Diego said, they said we're not changing anything. We'll pay the money and we're going to keep on doing what we're doing, but that doesn't work for us. What we're really looking for here is a government that's going to follow the law and protect its citizens,” he said.
Attorney Shawn McMillan of California specializes in civil rights cases against child protection agencies. He has been awarded the "Street Fighter of the Year" award for defending family rights and taking on the abuses of social service agencies in California. Courthouse News Service is reporting that Attorney McMillan is representing a federal class action lawsuit against "Riverside County, Juvenile Dependency Investigator Karla Torres, Torres's supervisor Felicia M. Butler, and all similarly situated county social workers and investigators" for taking "a newborn baby from her mother without a reason or a warrant," and for making "a habit of it." The suit claims that the Southern California County takes "thousands of babies" without cause.

An older looking bird sits placidly in the center of the plate in Pablo Picasso Ceramic Oiseau No. 76 (Bird No. 76), 1963 A.R. 481. Slightly hunched, the weary traveler rests, two feet on the ground.

Kylie Minogue has opened up about about her new album, revealing it is inspired by "a little bit of heartbreak".
The pop superstar also described her upcoming collection as "super positive and inspiring" in a new interview with The Sun following her split from fiance Joshua Sasse earlier this year.
“In the last year, there’s been some of that, but we bounce back," she said. "Most of it is super positive and inspiring, as a note to self as much as anything else. I’m feeling great right now."
Kylie has been recording her latest album in Nashville, a process she described as "cathartic", adding: "It was good. In the studio it’s a slightly weird concept to be spending seven, eight, nine hours in a room with people sometimes you don’t know. If you’re working with good people it’s the perfect place to deal with stuff."
After spending much of 2017 recording new music, the star revealed much of the album came together during her two-week trip to Nashville.
"I did a lot of work on the album before that but Nashville had a profound effect on me. The songs are very storytelling and story-based. It was so great to do things a little bit differently.”
The newspaper reports Kylie will release the record's first single in January 2018 with album to follow shortly after, while the singer insisted: "There will be shows next year for sure. I can’t wait to perform again.”
Kylie has notched up an impressive 15 Top 10s on the Official Albums Chart in her 30-year career, five of which have reached Number 1.

There are a lot of tres leches cake recipes out there, but I decided to use one by Ree Drummond (aka The Pioneer Woman). As she rightly points out, there's actually FOUR kinds of milk used in the cake, so it should arguably be called cuatro leches cake. The three milks name probably comes from the fact that after the cake is made, it's then soaked in three milks (the fourth is in the batter).
What are the three milks? It's not health food, it's yummy food. Heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. What's the difference, you might ask? Heavy cream, at least in the U.S., has at least 36 percent fat, and is the stuff typically used in ice cream and to make whipped cream. Sweetened condensed milk (also sometimes known just as condensed milk) is cow milk that's had its water content removed and sugar added, which makes it a thick, creamy substance that's awesome just stirred into hot coffee or tea. When buying condensed milk, look at the label. There should be as few ingredients as possible (in fact, 2 is best: milk, sugar), with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Evaporated milk (aka dehydrated milk) is shelf-stable milk that's had about 60 percent of its water removed. Since you'll be making more of the cream mixture than you actually need for the cake, don't throw away the remainder; save to use in coffee or tea (unless, of course, you don't like milk or sugar in your hot beverages).
The cake is light and airy, due to the batter requiring meringue. There are lots of little air pockets in the cake, all the better to soak up the three milks. Right after pouring you might notice that some of the milk hasn't soaked in yet -- don't worry, the cake is a greedy sponge and the milk will eventually get absorbed while it's sitting. TPW suggests letting the cake absorb the milk mixture for 30 minutes. This is not, in my opinion, nearly enough time. I served the cake after about 40 minutes of soaking and it was disappointingly dry. The next day, however, the milk had totally soaked through and it was as moist as can be. So I recommend letting it soak for several hours or overnight before frosting, to really get every bit of the cake soaked. This is actually good in terms of convenience, because it means you can make the cake the day before and the only thing you need to do day of is make whipped cream to spread on the cake.
The dry milk in the 'frosting' is optional; it's just a way to stablize the whipped cream (which I find more necessary when it's being used as a cake frosting).
Tres Leches Cake (adapted from The Pioneer Woman)
For the cake
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 5 eggs, separated
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 12oz can evaporated milk
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp dry nonfat milk (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Stir in the milk and vanilla.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined.
- Beat egg whites in a clean bowl on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff but not dry.
- Fold the egg white mixture into the batter very gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn the cake out onto a rimmed baking sheet or serving platter and allow to cool.
- Combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream, preferably in a container that has a spout. When the cake is cool, carefully pierce the surface all over with a fork. Drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture, including the edges of the cake.
- Allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture for several hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Right before serving, whip heavy cream with sugar, vanilla, and dry milk (if using) until thick (though don't overwhip or you'll have butter). Spread over the cake. Best served with something tart and fruity, like strawberry sorbet.

I've enjoyed Bella Italia the times I've been there. The menu pricing is confusing in some ways (how is a pasta dish wish chicken cheaper than one with lobster and crab?), but all in all, it's a good place and makes for a filling meal.
Staff is also pretty used to non-locals - even if the place fills with locals - so you can expect service a bit above what one typically finds in Europe.

More than 150 of the nation's top prospects have earned invitations to Nike Football's The Opening and Elite 11 quarterback competition, which will take place this week in Beaverton, Ore.
AL.com will be on hand for the event providing information on recruits. The Elite 11 competition begins on Wednesday, July 6, as quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends will compete. Other positions arrive on Thursday, and The Opening finals run from Friday through Sunday.
Skill players are divided into six teams for 7-on-7 play later in the week. Positional MVPs will be awarded this week. The event, sponsored by Nike Football, gives athletes a chance to compete against the best, but this is not an event where college coaches are recruiting.
Here's a team breakdown. A complete roster is here, but here are Alabama recruits and targets on teams.
This is essentially Team Alabama. It includes Alabama safety commit Xavier McKinney of Roswell, Ga., along with other commits including Central-Phenix City linebacker Markail Benton, Lewisville, Texas receiver Tyrell Shavers, Honolulu, Hawaii quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Antioch, Calif., running back Najee Harris and Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., linebacker VanDarius Cowan. This also includes high targets like four-star Deerfield Beach, receiver Jerry Jeudy and former Alabama running back commit Cam Akers from Clinton, Miss.
TEAM ALPHA PRO
Several Alpha Pros have Alabama offers, but don't have the Crimson Tide as finalists at this point. Former Tide QB commit Jake Fromm, now committed to Georgia, is on this team. Class of 2018 five-star corner Patrick Surtain II from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is being pursued by Alabama. Fort Lauderdale, Fla., five-star receiver Trevon Grimes named Alabama to his final six, but is thought to be an Ohio State lean.
TEAM FLY RUSH
Alabama is still in the mix for the No. 8 prospect nationally, Kennedale, Texas five-star linebacker Baron Browning. The only 2019 prospect at The Opening is Loganville, Ga., linebacker Owen Pappoe and he has an Alabama offer. Pappoe's teammates at Grayson, highly-ranked corners DeAngelo Gibbs and Jamyest Williams, are Alabama targets but likely will stay in Georgia. Westlake, Ga., cornerback A.J. Terrell camped at Alabama and has the Crimson Tide in his top six with a September decision looming. Oxford linebacker K.J. Britt is on this team, but isn't considering Alabama.
Anthony McFarland Jr., is a four-star all-purpose back from DeMatha, Md., and he has visited and plans to again visit Alabama. Indian River, Va., defensive back DeVon Hunter still has Alabama on his radar (top 11). Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., four-star defensive back Thomas Graham named Alabama to his top six and plans to make an official visit. Clay-Chalkville receiver Nico Collins is on this team and though Michigan could land the in-state standout, usually the top guys stay home.
East St. Louis., Ill., receiver Jeff Thomas recently visited Alabama with his team for a camp and is high on the Crimson Tide. D'Andre Swift from St. Joseph's, Pa., is slated to visit Alabama this summer. IMG Academy/Baton Rouge five-star linebacker Dylan Moses is still a high Alabama target, along with LSU and Texas. Alabama wants to flip Jacksonville, Fla., five-star cornerback Shaun Wade from Ohio State. Amite, La., four-star receiver DeVonta Smith has Alabama in his top four leading into an August commitment.
TEAM MACH SPEED
Clanton, Pa., four-star cornerback Lamont Wade has visited Alabama. One-time Alabama commit D.D. Bowie, a four-star from Morton, Miss., is on this team. Buckhorn four-star linebacker Will Ignont is here, but said Alabama is no longer in the mix after he was silently committed.
Alabama five-star tackle commit Alex Leatherwood from Pensacola, Fla., headlines the group after a dominant showing at the New Orleans regional. Alabama is after more talented linemen here including Memphis, Tenn., Trey Smith and Houston, Texas tackle Walker Little. Lexington, Ky., four-star tackle Jedrick Wills put Alabama in his top eight. Nation's top center Cesar Ruiz from the IMG Academy has Alabama in his top eight, but he's heavily trending toward Michigan.
Some big-time targets for Alabama here include Houston five-star Marvin Wilson, Lafayette, La., five-star Tyler Shelvin, though he's committed to LSU and James Clemens standout four-star end LaBryan Ray. Tosh Lupoi is after Maryland five-star Chase Young.
