In recent times there has been a lot of political instability in West Asia and North Africa and have become the hub for ISIS terrorists. How should India address this issue with respect to Internal security? (250 words)
The continuing presence of Islamic State (IS) terrorists in West Asia, Africa and elsewhere should be seen as a serious warning by the countries in these regions. More than 10,000 Islamic State fighters are estimated to remain active in Iraq and Syria two years after the militant group’s defeat, and their attacks have significantly increased this year, according to reports of the U.N. counter-terrorism chief. The Islamic State extremist group — also known as IS, ISIL and ISIS — has regrouped and its activity has increased not only in conflict zones like Iraq and Syria but also in some regional affiliates.
Impact of ISIS on India
ISIS has been the most lethal, organized and modern terrorist organization who are using social media, internet to propagate their ideology. Its autocracies and pandemonium is well known across the world, especially in the Middle East. However, India has not been affected by ISIS barring few sporadic incidents. Few Indian youth, after being influenced and hypnotized by the structured propaganda of ISIS, have joined ISIS forces in Iraq and Syria. In addition to this, Mehdi Masroor was operating the twitter handle of ISIS from Bangalore in India. Apart from all these, India has neither faced any violent assault nor any lone-wolf attack on its land by ISIS. However, ISIS wants to attack India and convert it into Islamic caliphate of Khorasan in future.
India’s strategy towards ISIS
The ISIS can become the fulcrum of terrorism against India, thereby focusing the combined energy of different groups under its umbrella.
It can be supported by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), thereby providing it a well-established intelligence and logistic network, in a symbiotic relationship. · The social media campaign by ISIS is ideally placed to exploit alienated members of the society. This has already been witnessed to a lesser degree, in which a small number of people have volunteered to fight for the terrorist group in Iraq. This can potentially achieve sharper focus if it is brought to bear on Indian targets, especially in the immediate aftermath of communally surcharged incidents. · While India may be amongst the most challenging targets for a radical organisation like ISIS, given the strong roots of liberalism, democracy and secularism in the country, from the perspective of ISIS, this is a prize which could well tip the balance in its favour, not only in the region but also beyond. This could imply that the resources and energy likely to be employed against India will make the terrorist group amongst the most serious challenges faced by the country so far. · ISIS has foreseen the possibility of the US and its allies standing alongside India. However, past experience suggests limited cooperation by the US against terrorist threats specifically aimed at the country. It is more likely that it will be India’s fight for its safety and security on the basis of its resilience and capacity. · An e-book allegedly released by Islamic State (ISIS) across online jihadist platforms has made a direct reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing him as “a right-wing Hindu nationalist who worships weapons and is preparing his people for a future war against Muslims”.
Repatriation, prosecution, rehabilitation, and reintegration and the protection of the vulnerable have become ever more urgent.

One of the big winners at this year's
Academy Awards in Hollywood was former Vice President Al Gore. Gore was
featured in a film about global warming called "An Inconvenient Truth,"
which won the Oscar for best documentary. Now some Democrats are wondering
if Gore should seize the public spotlight in the wake of his Oscar win and
enter the race for president in 2008. VOA National correspondent Jim
Malone has more from Washington.
In a show more known for Hollywood glitz, Al Gore appeared at the
microphone in the middle of the Academy Awards to make what appeared to be
an important political announcement.
"Even though I honestly had
not planned on doing this, I guess with a billion people watching, it is
as good a time as any. So, my fellow Americans, I am going to take this
opportunity right here and now to formally announce…" he joked.
Gore did not announce he was running for president, and the audience
enjoyed the joke from a man who has been criticized in the past for being
too serious and wooden on the campaign trail.
But some Democrats who are urging Gore to run for president wish he
would seize the public attention from his Oscar win to join the Democratic
field for the White House next year.
Former President Jimmy Carter told ABC television that Al Gore is his
favorite Democrat and that he has been urging Gore to run for months.
"I think he should," Carter said. "His burning issue now is global
warming and preventing it. He can do infinitely more to accomplish that
goal as the incumbent in the White House than he can even making movies
that get Oscars. So I would hope he would, but I don't think he will."
Former Vice President Al Gore and Academy Award winner for Best
Documentary Feature Davis Guggenheim at the 79th Annual Academy Awards, 25
Former Vice President Al Gore and Academy Award winner for
Best Documentary Feature Davis Guggenheim at the 79th Annual Academy
Awards, 25 Feb. 2007
Gore indicates he is not running, but analysts
note he has not completely closed the door to a presidential bid in 2008.
Gore was asked about his political plans in an interview with ABC
shortly after the Oscar broadcast.
"I was happy to go along with their humor on that," he said. "I do not
have plans to run for president again, but I am involved in a campaign of
a different kind, to try to convince people in this country and around the
world to feel the urgency of the climate crisis."
Many political experts find the prospect of a Gore candidacy intriguing
"I think it is unlikely," said Stuart Rothenberg, who publishes an
independent political newsletter in Washington. "It is not that he does
not want to be president or be the Democratic nominee. I think he does not
want to work for it. He does not want to spend the next year campaigning
for the nomination. In a different period, it would be handed to him on
silver platter. But there are a bunch of candidates out there who are
working very hard for the nomination and I think you have to go for it if
you expect to get it."
Part of the problem for Gore if he wanted to jump into the race is that
the 2008 presidential election cycle seems to be heating up far earlier
Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and former Senator John
Edwards, along with several other Democrats, are already campaigning hard
for the nomination and raising millions of dollars, 11 months before the
first votes will be cast.
Republican presidential contenders have also been active early, in
large part because neither President Bush nor Vice President Cheney are
running next year.
University of Virginia analyst Larry Sabato says this lack of an heir
apparent for the White House is a prime reason for the extra early start
to the campaign.
"It is a free for all," he said." It is the first election since 1928
with no incumbent president or vice president running in either party. And
as a result, it is an open race on both sides and we are going to see
Public opinion polls show Gore would trail Senators Clinton and Obama
if he got into the race now. But analysts say Gore might draw support from
Democratic activists because of his early opposition to the war in Iraq
and because of his narrow election loss to George Bush in 2000 when he won
the popular vote but lost the state by state electoral vote count that
determines who wins the presidency.


According to the previously exposed information, Samsung Note 20 series mobile phones will be released on August 5th. In addition, Samsung Z Flip 5G, Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, and other folding-screen phones will also be unveiled. But this time-release date of the flagship has pushed further after unveiling the device on August 5.
According to South Korea’s ETNews report, the Samsung Note 20 series will be available for sale on the Korean market on August 21st. Assuming the news is true, it means that it will have to wait a long time after the pre-sale to pay for the final purchase. In addition, the Korean media also mentioned that it is currently impossible to determine whether the Samsung Z Flip 5G and Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 will be released on that day because there have been reports that the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 may be delayed until September. It is worth noting that in addition to the 5G version, the Samsung Note20 series may also list the 4G version in countries and regions where 5G is not perfect.
At present, the real machine picture of Samsung Note20 Ultra has been posted online. The overall shape is basically the same as the rendering of the previous exposure. The front design is the same as the Samsung Note10 series. The look and feel will be quite shocking, while the rear three-camera combination includes a periscope telephoto camera.

U.K. telecom company BT Group said May 19 that it plans to shed up to 55,000 jobs by the end of the decade as part of an overhaul aimed at slimming down its workforce to slash costs.
BT, which has 130,000 workers including both staff and contractors, said in its latest earnings report that its number of employees would be reduced to between 75,000 and 90,000 by 2030.
Also read |India’s hobbling 5G spectrum auction gait
“By the end of the 2020s BT Group will rely on a much smaller workforce and a significantly reduced cost base," CEO Philip Jansen said. "New BT Group will be a leaner business with a brighter future.”
Tech and telecom companies have been cutting jobs as the industry undergoes a painful shakeup amid flagging economic growth and surging inflation.
U.K.-based wireless carrier Vodafone, which operates in Europe and Africa, said days earlier that it’s laying off 11,000 workers as part of a major revamp.
BT, a former State monopoly previously known as British Telecom, said that once its fiber-optic broadband and 5G mobile networks are fully rolled out, it won't need as many workers to build and maintain them.
Mr. Jansen said BT would work with union partners as part of the job cuts and also rely on attrition.

Few people have had as great an impact on Madison and Dane County as has R. Richard "Dick" Wagner, who unexpectedly passed away Monday at the age of 78.
Wagner devoted his life to public service, serving on the Dane County Board for 14 years, including two terms as its president.
But serving as a county supervisor representing Madison's near east side between 1980 and 1994 was actually a small part of his civic participation. He also gave selflessly to his community by serving on the Wisconsin Arts Board, Downtown Madison Inc., Historic Madison Inc., Madison Trust for Historic Preservation, Olbrich Botanical Society, Friends of UW Libraries, Wisconsin Humanities Committee, Dane County Regional Planning and Airport commissions and the city's Plan, Urban Design, and Landmarks commissions to name just a few.
And that was in addition to his tireless work to achieve equal rights for gay and lesbian people since his days as a student at the University of Wisconsin in the late '60s and early '70s. His advocacy helped pass a Madison gay rights ordinance in 1974, and six years later, as he started his first year on the Dane County Board, the county passed its own ordinance as well.
The Capital Times' archives are filled with stories of Wagner's crusades and accomplishments. A 1987 profile of Wagner as he was being considered for the chair of the County Board, quoted several right-leaning board members admitting that even though he is a liberal, conservatives respect him.
One supervisor added that Dick Wagner treats other people — even those he disagrees with — with incredible respect. Frankly, few have served his fellow citizens so passionately and with unequaled civility.
Those archives are also filled with stories depicting his key role in saving several of Madison's historic buildings in the iconic Mansion Hill neighborhood. And he walked the talk, refurbishing a 100-year-old house on Jenifer Street for his own home and purchasing and reviving others nearby that were destined for the wrecking ball.
As if he hadn't done enough in his career, he spent the last few years writing two critically-acclaimed books about gay history in Wisconsin.
"We've Been Here All Along," published in 2019, detailed the closeted gay lives of many famous Wisconsin figures. The second book, published just last year, is "Coming Out, Moving Forward: Wisconsin's Recent Gay History."
When Dick Wagner was elected to the County Board in 1980, he was one of just two dozen openly gay public figures in Madison. Today, two openly gay politicians who followed Wagner's groundbreaking path are now a U.S. congressman (Mark Pocan) and a U.S. senator (Tammy Baldwin).
When he died Monday, apparently the victim of a heart attack, he was still active in several endeavors, all aimed at making his community a better place.
This incredibly decent and caring man will be terribly missed, but what he gave the rest of us will always be remembered.

It is common for people to use more than one drug at the same time, also known as polydrug use or co-use.
Meth and Alcohol
People may drink alcohol and take methamphetamine together to “take the edge off” the jitteriness that methamphetamine causes. Mixing methamphetamine and alcohol can be risky, however, because stimulants can mask the effects of alcohol. This means a person may drink a lot more alcohol than intended and can succumb to alcohol poisoning. The combination of methamphetamine and alcohol also causes increased heart rate and blood pressure, which can lead to cardiovascular damage.
Meth and Xanax
Another drug that is frequently taken in combination with methamphetamine is Xanax. Like with alcohol, people might take methamphetamine and Xanax together to combat the jitteriness that methamphetamine causes, since Xanax is a depressant. Xanax and methamphetamine can be a potentially dangerous combination that can result in heart attack or stroke, as a result of conflicting signals – methamphetamine tells the body to speed up, whereas depressants slow the body down.
Meth and MDMA or Cocaine
Combining methamphetamine with other stimulants like MDMA or cocaine can also potentially harm the body. Multiple stimulants in combination with each other can increase the risk of overheating, heart attack, or stroke.
Meth and Heroin
Combining methamphetamine with heroin is sometimes known as “goofballing.” Mixing an “upper” like methamphetamine and a “downer” like heroin puts strain on the cardiovascular, central nervous, and respiratory systems and can place people at risk of overdose.
Meth and Sex
Sometimes people take methamphetamine to enhance their experience during sexual encounters, a practice called “chemsex.” People engaging in chemsex may also take erectile drugs like Viagra because methamphetamine can cause erectile dysfunction. This combination can potentially be harmful because methamphetamine raises blood pressure, while erectile drugs lower blood pressure; thus, the combination can put someone at higher risk of stroke.

By Daily Wire. New surveillance footage released on Friday shows one of Obama’s former senior officials taking a picture up a woman’s skirt in July 2016 at a D.C. Metro station.
William Mendoza, who was Obama’s director of the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education, pleaded guilty to a single count of attempted voyeurism after he resigned from his position in November 2016, the Daily Mail reported earlier this year.
Mendoza, who was making $140,000 a year working for Obama, was only given a 90-day suspended prison sentence in addition to a $100 fine and one-year probation.

(Natural News) The war on carbon dioxide (CO2) would seem to be kicking up a notch with new research suggesting that this ubiquitous “pollutant” is somehow going to destroy humanity, proving once again that the sciences have been all but completely co-opted by scientific illiteracy and absolute stupidity.
May 01, 2019 by: Mike Adam
(Natural News) Everything you’ve been told about global warming, climate change and carbon dioxide by the mainstream media — and mainstream “science” — is an outright lie. Far from being a dangerous poison, carbon dioxide is a miraculous life-giving nutrient that plants need to thrive. Rising carbon dioxide is actually helping “green” the planet, as any legitimate science already knows. Without CO2 in the atmosphere, nearly all life on the planet would collapse, including both human life and plant life. (See my numerous science videos, below, which explain all this in detail.)

Daytona Beach, Florida — A Texas fugitive wanted on murder and other charges in a deadly Thanksgiving Day home invasion in El Paso was located in Daytona Beach thanks to License Plate Reader technology that alerted law enforcement to his stolen vehicle.
Jason Gibson, 38, was arrested Tuesday afternoon shortly after he fled from a converging group of Daytona Beach and Holly Hill police officers, Volusia County sheriff’s deputies, and members of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force.
As he was surrounded, Gibson drove his car at a VCSO deputy and HHPD officer as he fled.
Gibson later bailed on foot and was taken into custody at a Daytona Beach office building.
In addition to his out-of-state charges of Homicide, Aggravated Assault, Kidnapping, Aggravated Burglary, Aggravated Battery with Great Bodily Harm and Larceny, Gibson was charged locally with two counts of Aggravated Assault for driving at the two law enforcement officers as he attempted to flee.
On Thanksgiving Day, Gibson forced entry to a home in El Paso, Texas and shot a father, 58-year-old Juan Salas in the head, a mother, 58-year-old Lorenza Salas, and son, 24-year-old Jonathan Salas.
Juan died at the scene.
Lorenza and Jonathan both remain in ICU.
Police said, “The mother was shot in the head and the son was shot in the face.”
El Paso police said that the home invasion was random.
Those who know Gibson told police that he “is a very evil man and always has been.”

The New Orleans Saints are marching into the Superdome tonight against the Atlanta Falcons.
Tonight’s game marks the 10-year anniversary of the face-off between the two teams right after the devastation from hurricane Katrina in 2006.
— New Orleans Saints (@Saints) September 26, 2016
Going into Week 3, the Falcons are 1-1 and the Saints are 0-2.
With the Saints hoping to make their first win of the season, there’s a good chance they could be without seven starters this game due to injuries.
Left tackle Terron Armstead (knee), cornerback Delvin Breaux (fibula) have already been ruled out and starting cornerback P.J. Williams was placed on injured reserve with a concussion this week. Safety Kenny Vaccaro (ankle), defensive tackle Tyeler Davison (shoulder/foot), linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (quad) and tight end Josh Hill (ankle) are all listed as questionable along with defensive end Cameron Jordan.Saints wide receiver Willie Snead (toe) was labeled a game-time decision but the team wanted another week of rest and will not be expected to play this game.
For the Falcons, those among the injured aren’t quite as substantial. Offensive line backer De’Vondre Campbell (ankle) and line backer Paul Worrilow (groin) are out. Wide receiver Julio Jones (calf) was labeled as questionable but has since been cleared and will be out on the field.
Former Gator Keanu Neal is expected to make his NFL debut after a knee injury.
Neal finished his Gator career third on the team with 96 tackles, including a team-high 51 solo tackles.
Felt amazing getting back out there today!

Entering its second year, the Alexandria Bay Wine Festival and Farmer’s market will “also be in full swing” during the poker run weekend, according to the release.

Can someone tell me why my eggs have spots in them? I am not sure if they are blood spots or not. All my eggs turn out this way. Every since my hens started laying. The 2 that is laying, that is.. They have been this way for 2 months?
Probably just meat spots. It happens, with some hens it happens a lot. They don't change the taste/texture of the egg at all and are just fine for eating. If you think it could be something else post a pic. and we'll try to figure it out.
Not that I know of. For some hens it's just part of their process, for others it's an occasional thing. Like I said before though, it doesn't effect the taste or texture of the eggs, just looks a little odd before you cook them.
The incidence of meat and/or blood spots has nothing to do with having a rooster.
If you have a rooster you can tell the egg is fertilized by looking at the egg yolk, but you have to look closely and know what you're looking for.
I have a very active rooster and have seen maybe one meat spot with my flock in two years, three blood spots.

We don’t like Mondays
WhichMoney? has just announced that Monday is the best day of the week to list a house with an agent, if you wish to sell that house quickly. They analysed tens of thousands of homes sold in the UK in the previous 12 months and found those listed at the beginning of the week sold more quickly.

“Our response to COVID-19 must respect the rights and dignity of older people”, stated UN Secretary General when launching an UN policy brief on the Impact of COVID-19 on older persons. UN Chief’s powerful statement echoes AGE’s message and is a tremendous achievement for older people’s organisations around the globe!
“Beyond its immediate health impact, the pandemic is putting older people at greater risk of poverty, discrimination and isolation. It is likely to have a particularly devastating impact on older people in developing countries”, states the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, expressing his deep concern about the pandemic and its effects on our communities and societies.
A pandemic with multiple impacts
In addition to the much higher mortality rate for older persons, COVID-19 has much broader effects: health care denied for conditions unrelated to COVID-19; neglect and abuse in institutions and care facilities; an increase in poverty and unemployment; the dramatic impact on well-being and mental health; and the trauma of stigma and discrimination.
In order to address those concerns and challenges, and ensure that “older people have the same rights to life and health as everyone else”, as UN Secretary-General asserts, the United Nations has published a Policy Brief on the impact of COVID-19 on older persons, which provides analysis and recommendations split in 4 chapters:
- The impact on health, rights and long-term care services for older persons
- The effects of physical distancing and stigma
- Integrate a focus on older persons in the overall socio-economic and humanitarian responses to COVID-19
- Harness knowledge and data, share good practices, and expand participation by older people.
Call for a more inclusive & human-rights based post-pandemic world
Looking forward, the COVID-19 recovery is seen in the UN report as an opportunity to “set the stage for a more inclusive, equitable and age-friendly society, anchored in human rights and guided by the shared promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to Leave No One Behind”.
To achieve this, the UN chief recommends to “build stronger legal frameworks at both national and international levels to protect the human rights of older persons“, and ensure that “all social, economic and humanitarian responses take the needs of older people fully into account, from universal health coverage to social protection, decent work and pensions”.
Read the United Nations’ Policy brief
Read the UN Secretary General’s statement
Several UN Member States have issued a statement in support of the UN Policy Brief, which has so far been signed by 140 states, including all EU countries and the European Union itself. The joint statement acknowledges the escalating ageism, neglect and discrimination affecting older persons during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also recognizes the meaningful participation of older people in society and the importance to strengthen international and intergenerational solidarity during the crisis and recovery process.
Read their joint statement here (also in Spanish and French)
At AGE, we endorse the UN Secretary-General’s statement, which is fully in line with our position on older persons’ rights and COVID-19, as you can read in our article.
We also warmly welcome the wide solidarity movement expressed by 140 countries worldwide. We believe that time has come to adopt a new United Nations Convention on the Rights of Older Persons and turn this global commitment into tangible advancement for older persons’ rights.

John Kerry, our kooky secretary of state, who followed another kook in the office, Hillary Clinton, says that climate change is as dangerous to us as terrorists.
I just don’t know where to start with this. It is such an inane comment that’s it hard to talk him seriously.
Is it hyperbole? I don’t think so. Kerry really thinks this, which shows just out of touch with reality he is.
Terrorism kills. Terrorists murder and maim thousands of innocent people every year.
Comparing that to the predictions of some that climate change, or global warming, whatever it’s label, may create food shortages and increase flooding, etc., is so irresponsible that it reprehensible.

The Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and commonly added to others.
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for our immune system, but most importantly, our body can’t produce or store it, so in order to maintain adequate levels of vitamin C, we need a daily intake of foods or supplements that contain it.
What Does Vitamin C Do?
Vitamin C is vital to the body’s healing process – It’s a nutrient that your body needs in order to form blood vessels, muscle, cartilage and collagen in your bones, and it also helps our body absorb and store iron.
Along with all of this, Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to protect our cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that are produced when our body breaks down food or when it’s exposed to tobacco smoke, radiation from the sun, x-rays and other sources.
Benefits of Vitamin C
It Boosts Our Immunity
The main reason we take vitamin C supplements is to boost our immune system. Vitamin C helps to encourage the production of white blood cells, which help protect our body against infections and free radicals.
It Helps With Workout Recovery
Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to form collagen, a protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. It is also essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of people’s cartilage, bones, and teeth – therefore, it helps our body to recover and heal after workout sessions.
It Does Wonders For Our Skin
This is one of my favourite vitamin C benefits! For the same reason vitamin C helps with body recovery while promoting collagen production, vitamin C has the potential to thicken our dermis, to diminish fine lines, and to promote a more firm and youthful-looking skin. On top of that, as it is an antioxidant, it protects our skin cells from damaging UV exposure.
It Keeps Our Iron Levels In Check
Iron is also very important for the body, as it is essential for making red blood cells and transporting oxygen around it. Vitamin C supplements help improve the absorption of iron from our diet, and assists in converting poorly absorbed iron into an iron that is easier for our body to absorb.
It Makes Us Think Better
Lower vitamin C levels have often been linked to an increased risk of thinking and memory disorders like dementia, and a higher intake of vitamin C from foods and supplements has been shown to have a very protective effect on the memory.
Where Do We Get Vitamin C From?
We need to get it from our diet. Vitamin C can be found in a wide variety of fruits and veggies such as oranges and orange juice, peppers, strawberries, blackcurrants, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, spinach, and many more.
Vitamin C is also available as an oral supplement and widely used by many, as part of a healthy diet, to complement their daily intake. Introducing vitamin C supplements into your diet is a great and simple way to boost your vitamin C intake if you struggle to get enough from your diet! You can order online here.

The Performance Assessment of Self-care Skills (PASS) is a valid and reliable tool designed to measure occupational performance of daily life tasks. The PASS is a client-centered, performance-based, criterion-reference, observational tool that assists occupational therapy practitioners to objectively document occupational performance and plan occupation-based interventions for adolescent, adult, and older adult populations in a variety of settings.
The PASS consists of 26 core tasks, categorized in four domains. The PASS includes 5 functional mobility (FM) tasks, 3 basic activities of daily living (BADL) tasks, 4 instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) tasks with a physical emphasis, and 14 IADL tasks with a cognitive emphasis.
If you are interested in learning more about the PASS and using the PASS in your clinical practice, educational instruction and/or scientific projects please complete a brief survey at PASS_Survey.
Once you complete the survey, you will receive access to the PASS web page.
On the web page, you will find all the materials you need to learn and administer the PASS, including the Clinic and Home versions of the PASS with administration materials; the Scoring Guidelines (manual); and access to the Administration and Scoring Videos.

The annual conference of the European Environment Bureau (EEB) of the hybrid type was held in Brussels on June 17, 2022: “Boosting the Deal for a Greener Europe in Turbulent Times”. The conference was attended by over 200 representatives of EEB member organizations. The President of the Environmental Ambassadors for Sustainable Development, Mrs. Aleksandra Mladenović, attended the conference, as well as joint meeting of the Biodiversity and Agriculture Working Groups, which was held on June 15 and 16, at the EEB premises in Brussels.
During the Conference, a review was given of the beginnings of the Green Deal, where improvements and progress were recorded, where results were mixed, and where there has been no progress yet. Special emphasis was placed on the war in Ukraine, which gave convincing reasons for accelerating the green transition, but at the same time it is used as an excuse for insufficient implementation of the Green Deal. There was also talk of Europe’s role in the wider world. The discussion was also about how to start the transition of the whole society to life within the planetary borders and what needs to be done to ensure that the Green Deal becomes a credible agenda of transformation, which is so urgently needed.
Konferenciji su prisustvovale organizacije koje se bave zaštitom životne sredine, političari, kreatori politike i predstavnici EU, regionalnih i međunarodnih institucija, kao i međunarodni akteri civilnog društva koji rade na transformaciji Evropske unije. Nakon Konferencije održan je prijem kao oproštajna proslava za Džeremija Vejtsa, odlazećeg generalnog sekretara EEB-a koji će se penzionisati krajem juna. Mnoge kolege, članovi upravljačkog odbora, prijatelji i saradnici oprostili su se od Džeremija kao generalnog sekretara, uz jednoglasne želje da i dalje ostane na putu koji je gradio i kao visoki predstavnik EEB-a, zagovaranja za životnu sredinu po meri svakog građanina.
The conference was attended by organizations dealing with environmental protection, politicians, policy makers and representatives of the EU, regional and international institutions, as well as international civil society actors working on the transformation of the European Union. After the Conference, a reception was held as a farewell celebration for Jeremy Wates, the outgoing Secretary General of the EEB, who will retire at the end of June. Many colleagues, board members, friends and associates said goodbye to Jeremy as Secretary General, with unanimous wishes to continue on the path he built as EEB High Representative, advocating for the environment tailored to every citizen. At the same time, EEB members and other participants welcomed the newly appointed Secretary General of European Environmental Bureau Patrick ten Brink and wished him successful future work.

Federal Attorney-General George Brandis should give up on his "ridiculous" battle to prevent publication of his ministerial diary after losing another court appeal, his opposition counterpart has said.
The Federal Court today sided with shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, dismissing the appeal against access being granted to about eight months worth of entries in the top lawmaker's schedule of appointments.
"I welcome this decision from the full Federal Court of Australia. It's a victory for transparency and accountability," Mr Dreyfus said.
It is unclear whether Senator Brandis will again appeal the decision, but Mr Dreyfus has insisted no more taxpayer money should be wasted on further challenges.
The protracted legal saga had already cost Australians more than $50,000 and wasted countless hours of legal practitioners' time, Mr Dreyfus said.
"I'd call on Senator Brandis to now say definitively that he will not be wasting further taxpayers' money by going onto the High Court of Australia," he said.
"Instead, he should expeditiously process this request, which was always a simple request."

From May 2020 to January 2021, the JUSTROM Greece team in collaboration with different local partners have organized a series of awareness-raising gatherings intended to inform participants about the current measures that aim to enhance Greece’s safety net for vulnerable households during the COVID-19 crisis and the restrictions in place due to COVID-19. The events also focused on discussing the effects of COVID-19 on local Roma communities, and on providing support and advice on possible solutions to these issues at the national level.
Because of the special circumstances in which they were developed, some of the events were held online. The JUSTROM facilitators ensured the necessary equipment and access to the internet, so that members of Roma local communities could join such gatherings.
Some of the virtual meetings were directed to Roma women from Dendropotamos (Thessaloniki) and surrounding areas (Kymina, Malgara, Peraia). Additional trainings were organized with in-person attendance in the municipalities of Kimmeria (Xanthi), Drosero (Xanthi), and Ilions (Athens).
The target audience for these events were Roma women from local communities with different backgrounds: some work as small-scale traders in open-air markets, some are unemployed, others are mothers of school-attending children, and others have been personally affected by COVID-19.
The gatherings were organized by facilitators and legal consultants from the JUSTROM Greece team. During the gathering “Gender based violence: legal and social psychological perspectives”, the participants were also addressed by guest speakers, such as Captain Asimina Gkontolia, Head of the Police Department for Combating Racist Violence, Ms Vassiliki Kokkinidou, psychologist/victimologist and expert on relationships between victims and offenders, and Ms Eleni Fotou, forensic psychologist working with the non-governmental organization “STOP VIOLENCE”.
Some of the participants were supported by JUSTROM Greece team, in collaboration with the “Roma Women Association of Dendropotamos” to send letters to local authorities and to the Greek Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, asking for supporting measures such as unemployment allowances for Roma women, subsidies for small businesses run by Roma women and the provision of the necessary digital infrastructure for e-learning for Roma children.
The events gathered a total of 60 participants, in particular Roma women.

More and more people are waking up spiritually. And for most of them, the question becomes: Now what? “Information about life after awakening is usually not made public,” explains Adyashanti. “It’s most often shared only between teachers and their students.” The End of Your World is his response to a growing need for direction on the spiritual path. Consider this Adyashanti’s personal welcome to “a new world, a state of oneness.”
Adyashanti begins by describing the “I got it/I lost it” phenomenon that perplexes so many of his students—the fluctuation between what he calls “nonabiding” awakening, and the ultimate state of “abiding” enlightenment. With straight talk and penetrating insight, Adyashanti then points out the pitfalls and cul-de-sacs that “un-enlighten” us along the journey, including the trap of meaninglessness, how the ego can “co-opt” realization for its own purposes, the illusion of superiority that may accompany intense spiritual breakthroughs, and the danger of becoming “drunk on emptiness.”
“Full awakening comes when you sincerely look at yourself, deeper than you’ve imagined, and question everything,” teaches Adyashanti. The End of Your World is your invitation to join Adyashanti for an honest investigation of what you really are—and how to live once you discover it.

A must for post awakening Review by Surge
This book could have saved me a lot of doubt and suffering after awakening, but then everything happens in the right time frame :-) Highly recommend, there are no books out there to my knowledge that deal with post awakening in such detail. Wonderful! Thanks Adya and Tami. Namaste. (Posted on January 16, 2015)

Review for The End of Your World Review by daniel gryte g
Adya writes with beautiful simplicity and a high level of compassion for the human condition. He gets it across effectively that the Natural State is everyone's birthright. Adya is perhaps the most encouraging and supportive teacher I have encountered i.e. among those speaking and writing about enlightenment, personal growth and the pursuit of happiness.
COMMENT: THE SHIPPING BOX WAS HUGE ... MUCH BIGGER THAN THE PRODUCTS WITHIN IT. EITHER PACK THE PRODUCTS INSIDE SNUGLY WITH SOME FILLER OR USE SMALLER BOXES. (Posted on July 12, 2013)
Review for The End of Your World Review by Mary S N
Very impressive! Adya does a good job of explaining what the experience of "enlightenment" is really like. Not exactly a bed of roses. There should be more books like this, that tell it like it is and don't romanticize it. Like old Joseph Campbell said, the madman and the mystic enter the same waters; the difference is that the madman is floundering and the mystic has taken swimming lessons from a good guru. In a pinch, books can serve that function, and this is one of them. (Posted on June 29, 2013)
Review for The End of Your World Review by kfh
I seriously question Adya's notion that he has met hundreds of enlightened people. Kind of sounds like an unprovable validation of his "efforts". (Posted on October 30, 2012)
Review for The End of Your World Review by Lindsey Wilkes
This book is sooooooo completely helpful in my awakening and what pitfalls to watch out for after the initial experiences of the nature of reality! Really exposes so many mind tricks and blocks to the experience of ABIDING Truth. This book both humbles and clarifies. I am most grateful to Adayashanti and all those who echo the Truth always. Namaste. (Posted on July 21, 2012)
Review for The End of Your World Review by Frans Oilinki
Very practical, hands-on writing about the nature of thinking mind, and the change of perspective from the relative (essentially delusional and sticky) view of thinking mind to the enlightened reality. If you have had awakening experiences of some sort, but the change has not been permanent, this is very good book for you. Adyashanti talks quite much about the essential sameness of non-abiding and abiding awakening (enlightenment). The book stresses the importance of truth in place of fancy experiences. The journey is not going to stop once the change of perspective sets in. Enlightenment is about Truth, and the non-transformed elements of your being will be brought to your awareness.

Review for The End of Your World Review by John Mankey
This is a great book, especially in conjunction with the audio recording of the same name. I haven't had the enlightenment experience, but every chapter meant so much to me. Every re-reading brings new meaning and relevance.
I've never met the author, and because of the directness and authenticity of this work I don't need to meet him. (Posted on June 10, 2009)

Hotel rooms aren't the only accommodation option when you're on the road. Vacationers and even business travelers are often opting for more budget-friendly, non-traditional accommodations. Hotel alternatives range from private vacation homes to a simple couch in a host's home.
If you're looking for privacy and room to spread out, consider renting a vacation apartment, home, cabin, villa or condo for your next trip. You'll be able to live like a local in the heart of the community while enjoying the comforts of multiple living spaces.
Accommodations in a local neighborhood always have a different vibe than those in the touristy parts of town. A vacation rental can feel like a home away from home but include many perks not found in your own home such as a Jacuzzi, swimming pool or a beach within walking distance. What you won't find are the services standard in a hotel.
On NeverStopTraveling.com, seasoned traveler Jim Ferri indicates that he became a fan of vacation rentals after renting an apartment in Barcelona. He plans to "definitely rent more apartments in the future" and indicates that it's a "great money-saving alternative" to staying in a hotel.
- Access to laundry facilities and a full size kitchen - save big bucks on your trip by eating in.

If you've ever wished you had friends or relatives living in Paris, Sydney or San Francisco, a homestay might be an appealing option for you. Homestays allow you to rent a room from a host or family. Condé Nast Traveler indicates that homestays are a great option for independent travelers and those wanting to meet the locals, experience another culture and make friends and connections along the way. The concept was inspired by exchange students living with host families in other countries.
On Road Warrior Voices, solo journeyer Jessica Festa indicated that she enjoyed sharing cultural anecdotes with a family of herb pickers during her homestay in Slovenia, a small European country just east of Italy. According to GoAbroad, the opportunity to taste local cuisine is one of the benefits of staying with a host family. Traditional meals prepared by a host give the guest a better understanding and appreciation of the culture.
- A homestay can be an inexpensive and safe option for college students, interns, volunteers, educators and solo leisure travelers.
- It can provide an excellent way to learn a new language, offering opportunities to practice and sharpen your vocabulary skills while becoming more fluent in the local dialect
- You'll have an opportunity to live like a local, participating in daily activities, preparing and cooking traditional food and experiencing local pastimes.
- You must be respectful and abide by the house rules of your host, so you might not be able to come and go late at night or bring a guest home for a nightcap.
- Lack of privacy may be a concern. One of the biggest compromises of a home stay is giving up some of your personal space.
- If you like to connect with travelers from other countries during your travels, you might not find the isolation of a homestay to be appealing.
Where to Book
The best way to search for a host family is to use a website that helps verify and screen people offering rooms for short term rentals. Options include:
Homestay.com is a Dublin-based site that launched in 2013 and has a database of hosts in over 150 countries. This site caters to anyone interested in traveling abroad. An internal messaging system allows you to contact hosts and inquire about availability. If you receive an e-mail reply advising you to proceed and book online, you will be required to pay a 15% deposit. The balance can be paid in advance of your stay in or upon arrival, depending on the host's preferences.
Rates vary by host. Homestays in Tokyo, Japan typically range from $25 to $83 per night. In Sydney, Australia rates vary between $18 and $180 per night. In San Francisco, rates typically range from $38 to $144 per night.
Couchsurfing.com was conceived in 2004 and differs from other travel accommodation sites in that it is more of a social networking platform. Instead of searching for low-cost accommodations in other areas, you create a profile of yourself and your lifestyle in an effort to connect with the online couchsurfing community. The end goal is to acquire free accommodations on someone else's couch or spare bedroom in the area you wish to visit. The only catch if there is one, is that you must also be willing to offer up a couch or spare room to a fellow community member interested in visiting your city.
Vacation home exchanges have become a very popular alternative to hotel accommodations. The concept is similar to vacation rentals and homestays. There are three ways to proceed with a home exchange:
- Simultaneous swap - an exchange partner stays in your home at the same time you are staying in their home
- Vacation home exchange - you allow an exchange member to stay in your vacation property
- Guest exchange - you remain in your home and host an exchange partner or family during their stay
Although the accommodations are free when doing a home exchange, you must pay a fee to sign up with most home exchange communities. The service easily pays for itself if you are able to arrange at least one exchange within the year.
Over the course of three years, New York Times author Amy Virshup has swapped her Manhattan brownstone for a canal house in Amsterdam, an apartment in Spain, an apartment in Stockholm, a houseboat in Copenhagen and a ski condo in Utah. Virshup recommends a home exchange as a way to embrace slower paced travel and to experience your destination like a local. However, The Independent Traveler warns that home exchanges are not for everyone. If your home is in a remote location, you will have to work much harder to find a willing exchange partner.
- It's affordable - the annual fee to join a home exchange community is comparable to spending just one night in an upscale hotel.
- Home exchange is a good option for families or groups as there is room to spread out and enjoy comforts similar to your own home, such as a full kitchen and laundry facilities.
- You'll have more of a local living experience than a hotel would provide.
- You may find your exchange partner has a different preference on cleanliness.
- When you arrive at the home, you might discover problems such as a broken water heater or nonfunctioning appliances.
- If you don't live in a popular vacation destination, it can be difficult to arrange a successful exchange.
Where to Book
Although you won't be able to contact any members until you join, you can browse the listings on home exchange sites to see which one might be the best fit for you. Check out:
HomeExchange was founded in 1992 by a pioneering exchanger named Ed Kushins. It started as a printed book mailed to members. A team of over 50 home exchangers representing various nationalities has helped the company grow into one of the biggest home exchange communities on the Internet, with over 65,000 listings in 150 countries. USA Today readers voted it the best site for booking a stay.
Rates: A one-year membership costs $150.
GuestToGuest was founded by 22 experienced home exchange families living in France, Belgium, Great Britain, Spain, the United States and Qatar. The goal was to create a free social network of home exchangers built on a system of hospitality, trust and freedom. In addition to simultaneous swaps, you can earn GuestPoints by allowing people to stay in your home when you are away, by signing up for an account, referring friends and becoming a verified member. Use GuestPoints to stay in other people's homes when it suits you to travel.
Rates: Membership is free. Get verified for a small fee of 25 euros (or about 28 USD).

Sour cream typically stays fresh for two weeks post-expiration date; however, it could spoil due to mishandling during transportation or store ownership.
Remove any sour cream that contains mold, has an unpleasant aroma or has expired beyond its printed date.
Sour cream is a versatile dairy product used in various dishes and dips, sauces and soups for extra richness, and typically found in the refrigerated dairy section of grocery stores. Sour cream typically lasts approximately two weeks unopened when stored properly but this varies depending on factors like freshness of product purchased initially as well as whether its transport and storage has been handled incorrectly prior to reaching your refrigerator.
Refrigerating freshly opened sour cream after opening is the key to keeping it at its freshest. A mason jar or other airtight container should do the trick; alternatively you could seal it in a resealable plastic bag using aluminum foil and rubber bands for an airtight seal.
Refrigerator storage of sour cream should be kept free from food that spoils, which could transfer their odors onto it. Also, when scooping from its tub, be sure to use clean utensils since contamination with bacteria will increase spoilage rates quickly.
If your sour cream is close to its expiration date, give it an initial sniff-test and sensory examination before using. If any indications point toward spoilage, toss it despite any positive taste tests; even if its flavor remains acceptable.
Frozen sour cream can also be preserved by breaking it down into small portions and freezing it, giving you access to it whenever it is needed without needing to defrost a large batch at once. If you don’t have an ice cube tray handy, pour sour cream into freezer-safe containers or jars instead and leave about an inch for expansion before placing the frozen product in your refrigerator for two or more hours until its consistency meets your preferences.
If your tub of sour cream has exceeded its “best before” date, it can still be stored safely for one or two weeks in the freezer. Just remember not to leave it out unrefrigerated at room temperature for too long, as harmful bacteria such as Leuconostoc citrovorum and Streptococcus lactis will start growing quickly in its absence. If sour cream smells rancid or looks discolored immediately dispose of it!
When it comes to identifying whether sour cream has gone bad, the easiest way is by inspecting its container for signs of mold and foul odor. If it smells musty or appears sour and gray in color, discard immediately. It is also beneficial to check its expiration date; according to Weill Cornell Medical College there is no such thing as an absolute deadline as even refrigerated products may spend some time at room temperature during shipping or grocery store storage.
One telltale sign of bad sour cream is its separation, but don’t panic; this is simply due to liquid being separated out from solid. Drain off and dispose of any surplus liquid before continuing with recipes as usual with solid.
As it’s essential that new bacteria isn’t introduced when handling sour cream, it is crucial that clean utensils be used when handling it. Never double dip your spoon or lick your finger while stirring; these actions could impair its ability to ferment and create its own lactic acid – shortening its shelf life considerably.
Refrigerating sour cream at an optimal cold temperature will increase its shelf life, but if you have more than necessary or it is close to its expiration date, freezing it for later use may be an ideal way to extend its shelf life – simply ensure there is about an inch of headspace in the freezer as frozen sour cream may expand slightly when exposed to air temperatures.
Storing at Room Temperature
Most milk-based products include sell-by dates on their containers, and often sour cream can remain fresh even past this date when stored properly. But in certain conditions it could spoil much quicker; to identify whether your sour cream has gone bad faster check its expiration date, smell, and texture.
If sour cream has gone bad, it will have an off-putting odor and taste extremely sour and watery. There may also be discolorations on its surface or it may have lost its thick consistency and become similar to cottage cheese – these signs should prompt immediate discard as this can lead to food poisoning.
Storing sour cream at room temperature can quickly lead to its spoilage. Bacteria will thrive and infiltrate its container with harmful microbes that could make you sick while also contaminating other food stored together with it.
To avoid this from happening, store sour cream in its original container in the fridge, with aluminum foil and rubber bands serving as temporary seals if there isn’t one that seals properly. Alternatively, transfer to larger airtight jars like mason jars for longer shelf life.
Refrigerating sour cream will keep it cold, helping preserve both its taste and texture. Furthermore, using clean utensils when handling it will decrease contamination risks and ensure no cross-contamination. Freezing it may alter its texture; this method should only be considered in rare circumstances.
Sour cream should only be stored for up to three months past its expiration date, and only used if it hasn’t gone bad already. If any signs of bacteria growth, mold growth, or spoilage arise – then discard immediately!
Storing in the Freezer
Unopened tubs of sour cream may last two weeks past its “best before” date; if opened and left at room temperature for several hours after opening, bacteria growth could occur quickly, rendering the product unsafe even though its expiration date has passed.
To extend the shelf life of opened sour cream after opening it, transfer it to the freezer and label with its expiry date. It is ideal to freeze it in its original container; if this is not feasible, transfer to an airtight container or plastic freezer bag and squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing tightly before placing in the back of your freezer where other perishable items won’t bump or jostle its container as much.
When freezing sour cream, it’s important to remember that its texture will drastically change; becoming grainier and losing some of its creamy qualities. You can still use it in recipes but the experience won’t be quite the same as fresh sour cream!
While sour cream may be safe to freeze indefinitely from a food safety perspective, its quality may begin to degrade over time, leaving less nutritious or better tasting sour cream than would have been stored properly in the fridge, according to Garden-Robinson.
Like refrigeration, the shelf life of sour cream in the freezer depends on both its type and temperature of container. Glass containers tend to hold more sour cream due to allowing less air in; additionally, storing your sour cream at the back of your freezer provides protection from sudden temperature shifts.
If a tub of sour cream has been sitting at room temperature for some time, bacteria will begin to form within two hours – even if it hasn’t passed its expiry date yet. If bright bacterial marks or pockets of watery liquid appear, it’s time to dispose of it immediately.

One of my greatest pleasures in Laos is eating some of the local soups. Kao soi is a must try.
It’s available almost everywhere and a few street places are my favourite. Kao soi is a soup made with wide rice noodles, coarsely chopped pork, tomatoes, fermented soy beans, chillies, shallots, and garlic, then topped with pork rind, bean sprouts, chopped scallions, and chopped coriander. It comes from Burma and Northern Thailand makes it too. Thailand kao soi however is more similar to the Burmese version.
It looks very spicy because of the tomatoes, but it is usually not. Lao style of course has a bit of spice and it is delicious. For tourists there is a place on the street at the end of the night market and for around 10,000 KIP it is a bargain.
When in Sayabouri in October I discovered Kao poun katee (Lao Laksa) for breakfast. Oh wow, this is a must try. it is very similar but make with a coconut milk base so if you are a fan of laksa then you would love this.
Kao peak is another favourite. Breakfast, lunch or dinner it is spicier and I love the thick rice noodles. My favourite places to enjoy this are across the old bridge and at the shop right opposite Wat Xieng Thong. Go for it, you’ll love it.
