F.S. Aijazuddin’s ‘Studies in Majesty’ compiles invaluable insight on the life and works of European painter August Schoefft
Studies in Majesty, Paintings by August Schoefft and Related Portraits by Fakir Syed Aijazuddin is a rare pictorial treat, comprising pictures of paintings from Punjab’s twilight Sikh period, of a remarkable painter from Europe whose life was no less exciting than the subjects he bought to life forever.
A revised and expanded edition of Aijazuddin’s earlier work Sikh Portraits by European Artists, published in 1979, the book centers on 11 paintings by 19th century Hungarian artist August Schoefft, augmented by material highlighting new information about Schoefft, his subjects, and the Princess Bamba collection that contains these paintings.
That’s where Aijazuddin steps in, giving us a remarkably complete portrait of Schoefft, who is today the mainstay of the portraits contained in this book. Schoefft’s life is a litany of disappointments, of misplaced optimism as he searched for wealthy patrons who would make use of his talents and remunerate him, which they were not always prepared to do.
Odyssey of August Schoefft
During his trip to the Near East and India around 1842, Schoefft managed to accumulate enough wealth to buy on his return a grand palazzo in Venice. He died at the age of 79, at a charity asylum in London, far from the House of the Seven Owls in Pest in Hungary where earlier generations of his artistic family had lived before him. He was better known outside the country of his birth than within Hungary itself. Aijazuddin has dedicated the book under review as a homage to August Schoefft: “He deserves more than this simple dedication.”
The book contains primarily a cache of family portraits of the last Maharaja of Punjab, Duleep Singh (1838-1893), during his exile in the United Kingdom where he had been taken while still in his teens. Born on Sept. 6, 1838, he was, at the age of five, made to sit on the golden throne of his father Maharaja Ranjit Singh by the Sikh Khalsa. While still a minor, he witnessed carnage within his own family; saw two wars in 1845-46 and in 1848-49 fought in his name; was made to accept by Britain the one-sided terms by which he surrendered the Koh-e-Noor diamond to Queen Victoria; forfeited his kingdom to the East India Company; and resigned “for himself, his heirs, and his successors all rights, title, and claim to the sovereignty of the Punjab.”
He celebrated every birthday thereafter in exile, never returning to the Punjab and especially in his waning years, never relinquishing his claim to it. He died lonely and impoverished in Paris on Oct. 22, 1893.
The Bamba collection
The present volume highlights The Princess Bamba collection which consists of 18 oil paintings (of which 11 are by August Schoefft), 14 water-colors, 22 paintings on ivory, 17 photographs, some metallic objects, and 7 miscellaneous articles. It recalls that “when Schoefft was escorting his royal guest around his gallery, the annexation of the Punjab by the East India Company had not yet taken place.” The juvenile Duleep Singh, whom the British Prince was yet to meet, was still maharaja of a state that covered territory larger than the whole United Kingdom.
Prince Consort Albert was almost certainly aware of the Treaty of Amritsar, executed on March 16, 1846, under which the territory of Kashmir had been sold to the wily Raja Gulab Singh of Jammu. Prince Albert would have understood, therefore, why Schoefft put Gulab Singh—now Maharaja—center-stage in the painting, offering a Nazar to his previous benefactor, the late Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Gifted son of Hungary
August Theodor Schoefft (1809 -1888) was born in Pest (Hungary), into a family of artists. The fourth in a line of talented professional painters, he lived in the family home in the Pest side of modern Budapest. At the age of 19, he secured admission Into the Akademie der Kunste, Vienna. He stayed there for only 6 months, before returning to Hungary. Gradually, his skills improved, finally reaching a level of competence. He returned to Pest in December 1834. Count Szechenyl tried to get Schoefft to establish a Hungarian school of painting.
In 1836, he and his wife went to the capital of Moldavia, from where they traveled via Odessa to Constantinople. They joined a caravan that took them by stages to Syria, the Holy Land, Egypt and Baghdad, where Schoefft had his first encounter with the East India Company. Here he painted a portrait of the British Consul Colonel Robert Taylor. Succumbing to the lure of potential commissions from wealthy patrons in India, Schoefft and his wife arrived by ship from Cairo and landed at Bombay in early 1838.
In India, the reality awaiting such artistic carpet-baggers was at odds with their expectations. About 30 British portrait-painters had been to India, only to discover that the East India Company was a disappointing patron. Mildred Archer, in her unrivalled survey of the work of British painters in India, wrote that British patrons preferred artists from their own country while Indian patrons had their own misgivings.
Painting the Mughal king
Schoefft went wherever patrons were available—for example, to Pune to execute a portrait of John Vaughan, a judge. The princely state of Travancore promised to provide a rich harvest of commissions. Schoefft was invited to Travancore to paint portraits of the royal family and prominent courtiers. However, Schoefft had a difficult time when the Rajah refused to pay for the paintings. (The vernacular records mention that the painter had charged a hefty sum of 12,000 Company Rupees for seven paintings). It seems Schoefft left Travancore in dismay, taking the paintings with him, and went to Madras. Later, the Rajah released the amount after the Governor intervened in favor of Schoefft.
Schoefft managed to arrange an audience with the Mughal emperor-poet Bahadur Shah Zafar. It was easier than one would have imagined. Schoefft had to pay a nazrana of 300 francs equivalent for the privilege. The portraits of Bahadur Shah and of his two sons—Mirza Mughal and the emperor’s favorite Mirza Jawan Bakht—were completed after Schoefft returned to Europe.
Painting Sher Singh
Then came the peripheral adventure that was to become center-stage. Leaving his wife behind in British territory for safety, Schoefft crossed the Sutlej river border and entered the Sikh kingdom of the Punjab. On Nov. 14, Schoefft arrived at Lahore and was ordered to present himself at Amritsar. Schoefft set himself to work immediately and when he started to paint the portrait of Maharaja Sher Singh, he was given a pair of golden bracelets as a present. He produced an oil painting depicting the maharajah as a military leader on horseback, nearly a life-size portrait.
Schoefft stayed in Lahore for about four months, arriving in November 1841 and leaving before March 1842. He lived primarily in the cities of Lahore and Amritsar. There is no evidence—written or pictorial—to indicate that Schoefft ventured further, for example, to Peshawar or Kashmir. Neither, inexplicably, did he execute any portraits of Lahore city, as he had done of Calcutta and Delhi. Schoefft must have invested his time filling his notebooks with sketches and making small paintings such as Sher Singh in Council that he could take back to Europe with him. Earlier, the letter says: “Supposedly Schoefft takes a replica of this painting to Europe as he already has a nice collection of Indian pieces and portraits of various Indian princes he had already painted.”
The painter and his caravan
Schoefft returned to British territory, collected his patient wife and traveled via Agra to Bombay. His entourage by this time consisted of a caravan of 20 carriers and 10 pack horses. Schoefft rode on horseback and his wife was carried by porters in a palanquin. He returned to his home in Pest via Egypt, Trieste and Belgrade. He brought back with him beautiful water-color paintings, his album filled with sketches and his diary, which one suspects he had hoped to use to compile and then publish an account of his travels.
Schoefft’s earnings from his Indian trip must have been substantial, enough for him to buy a palazzo in Venice where he and his wife spent a “tranquil life,” despite opening a hotel. They divorced, leaving Schoefft with a recurring obligation to pay alimony of 8,000 florins to his former wife. However, she did not survive long, dying shortly after in a riding accident.
Schoefft goes bankrupt
Schoefft’s financial situation after affluence he experienced from India remained precarious. In April 1874, he was declared bankrupt. His own works and the collection of Old Masters he used as stock for trading were auctioned. It would have been of scant consolation to Schoefft at the time to recall that a number of British painters who had gone to India had suffered the same fate. Undeterred, Schoefft appeared in San Francisco and New York. The next one hears about him is from a report in a Sacramento paper that Schoefft had become “demented” and was “missing”.
By 1885, Schoefft had managed to return to London, somehow, where a scholar researching an orientalist Schoefft had painted in 1840 met him. He wrote afterwards: “This very old man is still living in London, but is no longer able to recall or remember things of the past.” Schoefft’s final years make sad reading. In October 1885, he was admitted as a penniless destitute in Nazareth House asylum. There, in January 1888, he died after a fall on a staircase. The last remaining batch of his paintings of oriental subjects were all sold.
Maharani Jindan Kaur
In the numerical list of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s queens (ranis) prepared by her son Duleep Singh, she appears at number 16 out of 34 Sikh or Hindu Rajput wives. Jindan’s fortunes changed dramatically in September 1843, following the assassination of Maharaja Sher Singh (Ranjit Singh’s second son), who, with his young heir Kunwar Pratap Singh, fell victim to a conspiracy between the Dogra faction and the Sandhanwalia sardars. To fill the suddenly empty throne, the Khalsa acting as a commonwealth, accepted then-5-year-old Duleep Singh as the Maharaja of the Punjab. His sponsor, the Dogra Raja Hira Singh became wazir, just as his father Dhyan Singh had assumed that role when his own protégé Sher Singh came to the throne two years earlier. Hira Singh shared the same fate as his father, being murdered by rivals in December 1844.
Rani Jindan’s frenetic attempts to keep her son’s fraying kingdom together were vitiated by her administrative incompetence and public profligacy. Her favorites-Raja Nihal Singh and a slave girl named Mungia eroded her reputation and authority. The First Sikh war of 1845-46, instigated by her, resulted in a permanent British presence in Lahore in the form of a Resident, Henry Lawrence. Rani JIndan became a prisoner in her own palace and found her powers and allowances uncomfortably curtailed.
Jindan inclines son to rebellion
In August 1847, her son Duleep Singh was required to apply in open darbar the saffron mark signifying wazir-ship on the forehead of Raja Tej Singh, the British nominee. She tutored the young boy to withhold consent. That proved too much for the Resident Henry Lawrence. Lawrence ordered her to be detached from her son and removed to the Sheikhupura fort. From there, she bombarded the Board of Administration with remonstrance. On Aug. 30, she complained to John Lawrence (then Acting Resident) in a letter fringed with sarcasm: “You write to me that on account of the friendship between the two Governments you are very particular of the welfare of the Maharaja. How far you look to the welfare of the Maharaja is well-known throughout the world. Weeping, he was torn away from his mother and taken to Shalamar Garden, while his mother was dragged out by her hair. Well has the friendship been repaid.”
From Benares, Maharani Jindan was sent to nearby Fort Chunar. She remained there until April 1849, when she escaped by exchanging clothes with a visiting menial. She fled to Nepal where she stayed as a pensioner of the Nepali ruler until 1861. Ironically, she found herself in the care of Dr. James Login, the younger brother of Dr. John Login, who in Lahore became guardian of her son Duleep Singh.
She spent the next 12 trying years in Nepal. In 1861, when she heard that Duleep Singh would be traveling from England to India (ostensibly on a shooting trip) she returned to India to be reunited with her son at Calcutta. She had last seen him when he was nine years old. They met at the Spence’s Hotel on Jan. 16, 1861. The 23-year old who introduced himself to her had become an Anglicized Christian gentleman, a displaced royal on first name terms with Victorian nobility.
Reunited, the son and mother traveled to England. Duleep struggled to find suitable accommodation for her. Used to being portrayed by famous painters he sought to have a portrait done of his mother.
The family Duleep Singh
If there was a moment that Duleep Singh’s life shifted in the direction of its true spiritual north, it was when he was reunited with his mother Rani Jindan at Spence’s Hotel, Calcutta, on Jan. 16, 1861. Before that, the Punjab had been an appendage to his social identity; after that meeting, its retrieval became an obsession.
Duleep Singh married not into the British aristocracy, as he might have done but a 15-year-old illegitimate child of Abyssinian-German descent whom he chose out of a chattering gaggle of schoolgirls in a mission school in Cairo. Psychologists might be better qualified to analyze why Duleep Singh—traveling to India with the remains of his mother in the ship’s hold—should have taken such an extraordinary decision on such a doleful trip. Having taken it, though, he saw it through. He arranged his mother’s cremation at Nasik and returned with unseemly haste, disembarking again at Cairo to retrieve Bamba Mullen. He brought her back to the enormous unmanageable mansion he had acquired as their new home in Norfolk, for which the Government had advanced him 110,000 pounds.
This oddly mismatched couple had seven children: the first survived only one day, after whom came Victor Albert Jay (1866), Frederick Victor Jay (1868), Bamba Sofia Jindan (1869), Catherine Hilda (1871), Sophia Jindan Mexandrovna (1876), and finally Albert Edward (1879). The burden of an expanding family compounded by Duleep Singh’s extravagance strained his resources and the patience of the British Government that since 1857 had taken over responsibility for his pension.
Duleep Singh and the Queen
The seeds of rebellion sown in his mind by his mother Rani Jindan before her death germinated into open revolt against the British Government. The harder Duleep Singh tried to obtain what he saw as just recompense for the injustices caused to him during his helpless minority, the further their resolution moved out of his grasp. Exasperated, he tried to storm the Bastille of the Establishment by writing an open letter to The Times newspaper. It appeared on Aug. 28, 1882 and resulted in a flurry of refutations. “If I might advise you,” Queen Victoria wrote to a wounded Duleep Singh, “it would be better not to write in the papers. It is beneath you to do so. Is there no one on whose wise and impartial opinion you could rely and whose advice in these difficult questions would be of use to you?”
Queen Victoria hoped that Duleep Singh would listen to someone—anyone. Despite his reluctance to heed her advice, she continued to proffer it. In 1884, when he announced his intention of renouncing Christianity and returning to Sikhism, she cautioned him: “You mentioned the possibility of returning to your own faith. Now, considering what a fine and fervent Christian you were between 30 and 40 years, I cannot believe you would forsake the blessings of that pure Religion—for one that offers none of its comforts and blessings.”
Duleep Singh persisted in his determination to become a Sikh, to combat as “England’s Proud Implacable Foe”, and to return home to the kingdom he had been forced to forfeit. The rest of his life makes sad reading. He abandoned his mansion, took his family with him and then subjected them and himself to the indignity of being detained at Aden. While his family were repatriated to the United Kingdom, Duleep Singh persisted in his quixotic ambitions. He sought aid from Czar Alexander III who declined, and after being swindled by unscrupulous middlemen, Duleep Singh retreated into penury in Paris.
His wife Bamba died on Sept. 18, 1887, evoking an effusion of regret from Queen Victoria who wrote in her journal: “The unfortunate M. D. S. [Maharaja Duleep Singh] has published a most violent, crazy letter, speaking of being the lawful Sovereign of the Sikhs” and “England’s Implacable foe.” Heard this evening that his poor abandoned wife, Bamba, had died quite suddenly yesterday. How terrible for the poor children, who are quite fatherless and motherless”.
On May 21, 1889, Duleep Singh married former actress Ada Weatherill, thus legitimizing their two children. He wanted her to receive the same recognition Queen Victoria had accorded his first wife. Queen Victoria declined, but she did on his appeal restore him as a Grand Commander of the Star of India, to which he had been admitted as one of its first 25 members by her and Prince Albert when it was instituted in June 25, 1861.
On March 31, 1891, she received a semi-paralyzed and repentant Duleep Singh at her hotel in Grasse. She wrote to her elder daughter Vicky afterwards: “He is quite bald and very grey but has the same pleasant manner as ever. When he came in, I gave him my hand which he kissed. No sooner had he sat down than Duleep Singh burst into a most terrible and violent fit of crying almost screaming and I stroked & held his hand, and he became calm.” Two years later, Duleep Singh, forgiven but still embittered and impoverished, died on Oct. 22, 1893 in Paris. His body was brought for burial in the graveyard within the grounds of Elveden Hall—the home that had bankrupted him.
Princess Bamba (1869-1957)
Of Maharaja Duleep Singh’s children, only Princess Bamba had an enduring connection with Lahore. In 1915 she married Lt.-Col. D. S. Sutherland, Principal, King Edward Medical College, Lahore (1909 -1923). In the 1940s, she bought a house in Lahore, “The Gulzar”, at 16 Jail Road. She returned to England in September 1946, but came back to settle in Lahore in a new home 104-A, Model Town. She was tended to by her secretary Pir Karim Bakhsh until her death on March 10, 1957. She was buried in the Jail Road Christian graveyard. There were no Sikhs representing her ancestry at her graveside.
The flap of FS Aijazuddin’s latest volume pays tribute to “the under-appreciated talent of the Hungarian master artist August Schoefft.” His 19th century compatriot and host in the Punjab, Dr. Martin Honigberger, said of him: “He has a high reputation all over the peninsula, and it gives great credit to our own country to give such men to the world.”

In a battle befitting two of the state's top-rated high school baseball teams, Defiance had the final say last night in rallying for a 4-3 victory over Southview at Fifth Third Field.
The Bulldogs (23-1), Ohio's No. 3 ranked Division II team, were down to their final strike on six pitches before Alex Nofziger walked to load the bases. Dace Kime then delivered a game-winning two-run single to center.
It was the third lead change in the game's final inning and a half.
"Southview's a talented team, and Eddie Mouch is a great coach," Defiance coach Tom Held said. "To be able to play and compete with them and the talent they have, I'm proud of our guys.
"Our pitchers did a great job against a good hitting team, and we got some timely hits when we needed them."
In a statistical irony, Defiance reliever Steve Hammersmith (6-0) needed only one pitch to earn the win, while Kime's hit gave the loss to Cougar starter David Vandercook (4-2) on his 124th offering.
Southview (18-2), ranked No. 2 in D-I, took its second one-run loss of the season. The Cougars fell 2-1 at fifth-ranked Perrysburg in Northern Lakes League play on April 23.
"It was a very good high school baseball game," Southview coach Ed Mouch said. "Our kids battled all the way through. We'd been in situations all year long where we've been down and scored runs in the seventh inning to take the lead or win a game.
"We did a nice job against quality pitching today, but they did a nice job coming back too."
Hammersmith came on to retire Vandercook on a bases-loaded flyout after Southview had rallied for two runs off the Bulldogs' second pitcher - hard-throwing 6-foot-9 junior Eric Stapleton - in the top of the seventh.
Cougar Everett Barton scored the tying run on teammate Andy Joseph's clutch, two-strike execution of a suicide squeeze bunt. Southview catcher Dan Ampthor then made it 3-2 after singling to center and eventually scoring on a bases-loaded passed ball by Bulldog catcher Dakota Westrick.
Kime - the Defiance right-handed ace who will either pitch for the University of Louisville on full scholarship or turn pro based on his lot in the June 2 Major League draft - held Southview hitless for four innings before Stapleton relieved to start the fifth.
"It was a great game and a lot of fun," Kime said. "[Vandercook] threw that first-pitch curveball for a ball and I knew the fastball was coming and sat on it and drove it up the middle [on his winning hit].
"Them going ahead didn't really bother us. We were excited. It was fun to have that kind of adversity and come back and win."
Defiance took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when designated hitter Shea Murray led off with a single and later scored on an RBI single by Nofziger (2-for-3).
Southview tied it in the fifth despite still being no-hit to that point. Cam O'Reilly reached on an error by Bulldog shortstop Jacob Moore, and later scored on Joseph's RBI groundout.
Defiance retook the lead in the sixth. Nofziger singled leading off, moved up on Kime's groundout, and scored on Corbin Stykemain's sharp single to left.
Cougar senior ace Kirk Stambaugh, who is scheduled to pitch in Southview's crucial NLL showdown against Perrysburg tomorrow, had two of his team's three hits in this game.

Suffice it to say Celtics management is excited about the new talent in Boston.
Celtics principal owner Wyc Grousbeck heaped praise on Kemba Walker during a radio appearance last month, and co-owner Steve Pagliuca appears to have nearly injured himself in excitement over the signing.
"I almost crashed my car when I heard that," Pagliuca said Friday, per Nicole Yang of the Boston Globe.
Walker signed a four-year, $141 million max contract with Boston at the beginning of the free-agency period, effectively replacing Kyrie Irving as the face of the Celtics backcourt.
Irving signed with the Brooklyn Nets, and the Celtics also lost Al Horford to Philadelphia to become one of the biggest losers from a talent standpoint this offseason. Enes Kanter signed with the Celtics to replace Horford, a move Danny Ainge praised in the press as their "Plan A."
"I've been watching Kemba also since he was at UConn," Ainge told reporters. "I fell in love with him at the Maui Classic in his junior year where I think the whole world realized how good he was then. But I was sitting there in the front row watching very closely and it was very exciting and just had great respect for him throughout his career."
While the mood remains publicly positive, even Pagliuca acknowledges the Celtics are not among the East favorites this season. However, he remained upbeat at the possibility they could sneak themselves into the conversation.
"We're not going into the year where there's kind of a clear favorite that everybody has to beat," he said. "There are probably six or eight teams that everybody has to beat, and hopefully we're one of them. It's going to be one of the most balanced and fun seasons we've seen in our whole regime."
Walker as the best player of a franchise has been a mixed bag at best. The Charlotte Hornets made the playoffs only twice during his career and were eliminated in the first round both times. It's fair to say he'll have a better supporting cast in Boston than he ever had in Charlotte, but that would require a major leap from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown after disappointing in 2018-19.
Still, signing Walker and remaining competitive appears to be the preferred outcome over tanking and going through a full rebuild.

Girlschool - Hit And Run-Revisited ((UDR) ****
This is a re-recording of Girlschool's "Hit And Run," an album they released back in 1981. These girls rocked back in 1981, and they do so in 2012. The band knows this material inside out, they've played it for the last 30 years, so it's no surprise the performance is superb. The band plays in a very inspired way, the songs just fly and throw punches.
The band was recently stricken with a tragedy when singer/guitarist, Kelly Johnson died of cancer in 2007. This release, and the fact Girlschool is still soldiering on keeps Johnson's legacy and memory alive and well.
"Hit And Run Revisited" is a great release. It reminds everyone how great the early 80s were for this kind of music, and may even attract some new fans. Of course there'll be those who will argue the point of this album coming out in the first place, when the original is still vital. And nobody disputes the point, yet this rocks hard, and sounds like the girls had fun putting it together. And who could argue with that?

It is nonsense to keep on delaying the introduction of a well-resourced Commonwealth Integrity Commission with the appropriate structure and processes required to be a truly effective accountability institution.
It is also nonsense to suggest that the reason why the government has delayed introducing legislation to establish one is because the Attorney-General’s Department has been preoccupied with COVID-19 and industrial relations matters, and therefore could not devote resources to a CIC.
This excuse is not credible — it is asking the Australian people to accept that a department as large as the Attorney-General’s is unable to deal with more than a couple of policy issues at any one time.
It is also a questionable excuse, because a draft model was released in December 2018 and several accountability experts attended a meeting, hosted by senior members of the Attorney-General’s Department toward the end of January 2019, to provide informed feedback on the proposed model. The invitation was in the guise of a consultation process but during that meeting, attendees were told that the model’s structure was “firm” and that legislation to establish a CIC would be introduced into Parliament in February 2019.
February 2019 came and went, as has February 2020. At this rate, so too might February 2021.
The promise made by the government in the lead-up to the 2019 election to establish a CIC has been lingering in the “fringe issue” ether for far too long. One cannot help but wonder if it will still be dwelling there after the next election.
Despite public feedback on a CIC by learned experts in the anti-corruption field, the saga, which began in 2018, drags on. Not one independent person with expertise in anti-corruption models supports the CIC’s proposed structure.
In all good conscience, it is impossible to do so because it is blatantly designed to shield the conduct of politicians and many public servants from public hearings. The shield is impregnable — the CIC explicitly excludes them from such a process.
Despite experts’ repeated condemnation of the model, it appears that the Attorney-General is determined to proceed with the defective “dual structure”: defective at least to those dedicated to ensuring that democratically elected governments deliver openness, transparency and accountability to the people who grant them the privilege of representing them.
In return for this privilege, the electorate expects that the public interest will always be placed before personal and party interests. The National Integrity Commission structure and other aspects of the model cannot deliver such an outcome.
In addition to its fundamental structural flaw, the CIC fails, among other things, to facilitate courageous whistle-blowing; deliberately defines corruption so narrowly as to prevent investigations into malfeasance, which history shows is often the pathway to serious corruption; and bizarrely prevents the public from complaining directly to the CIC.
The government’s proposal to incorporate an expanded Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity into the CIC model must be scrapped; since its inception in 2006, ACLEI has not delivered effective accountability.
The suggested budget for the CIC is yet another serious barrier to effectiveness.
One of the oldest tricks by governments in the anti-corruption space is to establish an anti-corruption body, boast to the people about how good the government is to have created one, but then underfund it. They do so because the budget is a way for governments to exercise indirect control over such independent bodies.
This is not an unfounded statement. There have been several examples of this happening in Australia and beyond by governments who understand, only too well, that powers without the necessary budget to exercise them translates into no powers.
While the Attorney-General’s Department may be incapable of dealing with several matters at the one time, the Australian people are not. They have been calling for an effective national anti-corruption body for years. Why has the government assumed it is not a priority for them today, especially given the revelations surrounding matters such as the sports rorts affair and the Badgerys Creek land deal?
The government claims that the delay in establishing a National Integrity Commission relates, in part, to retrospectivity issues. An easy way to solve this supposed problem is to look at how other effective anti-corruption bodies have addressed the matter.
The Attorney-General has told Australians that draft legislation will be made public in the next few weeks and will be subject to a public consultation process. One can only hope that what is released has been significantly modified to take into account the well-founded criticisms by anti-corruption experts, and that a revised model adopts many of the positive aspects of anti-corruption legislation already put forward by independent parliamentarians.
To stubbornly ignore the views of experts and enlightened parliamentarians is to place personal and party interests before the public interest. The electorate will remember such an approach — there is only so much nonsense it is prepared to tolerate in relation to the establishment of an anti-corruption commission.

When Donald Trump, the patron saint of sore losers, appeared at a Republican occasion on Saturday night time and in contrast the 2020 election to a “third-world-country election like we’ve never seen before,” it wasn’t simply one other false rant from the previous president. His phrases additionally described his tried subversion of democracy within the run-up to the Jan. 6 riot on the Capitol.
Consider Mr. Trump’s remarks at his rally simply earlier than the assault: “If Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election,” he mentioned. “All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president.”
Or think about Mr. Trump’s harassment of Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, with the request to “find” him votes, or his relentless harassment of different election officers and governors.
Many Republicans need to transfer on from the Jan. 6 assault. But how is that attainable when the previous president received’t transfer on from the Nov. three election and continues to push the identical incendiary lies that resulted in 61 failed lawsuits earlier than Jan. 6, led to an revolt and will result in but extra violence?
If you doubt menace of violence exists, take a look at the current ballot from the Public Religion Research Institute and the Interfaith Youth Core, which reveals harmful QAnon conspiracy principle is believed by 15 p.c of our fellow Americans — together with virtually one in 4 Republicans, 14 p.c of independents and even eight p.c of Democrats.
Republicans, as an alternative of opposing a fee to analyze the occasions of Jan. 6, should be on the forefront of looking for solutions on the revolt and diminishing the ability of QAnon and the opposite conspiracy theories that Mr. Trump has fueled. While he’s nonetheless widespread throughout the social gathering, Mr. Trump is a diminished political determine: 66 p.c of Americans now hope he received’t run once more in 2024, together with 30 p.c of Republicans. He will not be the long run, and Republicans have to cease fearing him. He will proceed to break the social gathering if we don’t face the Jan. 6 info head-on.
Nothing lower than a full investigation is crucial. As a House Republican chief counsel through the Clinton administration, I see a transparent set of unanswered questions on Jan. 6, in addition to proof that must be gathered and that our nation wants to grasp. An investigation ought to cowl the occasions associated and main as much as Jan. 6, in addition to all of the events concerned. Who deliberate and funded the Trump rally that day, and who picked the audio system and received attendees there? How did supporters of QAnon, Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys get there? What occurred because the White House deliberate for Jan. 6?
Whether it’s a congressionally shaped fee or a congressional committee, the subpoenas and testimony would produce information that inform the story. Imagine all of the 1000’s of texts, emails, telephone calls and different information from the weeks resulting in and on Jan. 6 that aren’t but a part of the general public document. This materials will come out finally — in hearings, in books or within the media — however Republicans ought to be a part of the method, to assist present accountability and forestall future assaults.
While a fee could be greatest, a congressional choose committee with a five-Democrat, five-Republican break up and the identical guidelines as a fee would have, may additionally work. In the meantime, any standing committee with subpoena energy may start the information-gathering course of instantly.
Many Republican leaders appear to assume any all-encompassing investigation can be unhealthy for the social gathering. I disagree. Some outstanding Republicans need to uncover the reality, as do law enforcement officials who heroically protected members of Congress and their workers on Jan. 6. Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after partaking with the Trump-inspired mob, supported Mr. Trump. Officer Michael Fanone, who was shocked a number of occasions with a stun gun and overwhelmed and suffered a coronary heart assault and traumatic mind damage, instructed me he’s a Republican. Officer Harry Dunn mentioned: “We were victims of an assault, of an attack, and we deserve justice and we deserve to know everybody who was involved, and we want them held accountable.” Many of our officers really feel they’re being left on the sphere, they usually surprise, what occurred to “Back the Blue.”
Mr. Trump’s lies are pink meat to these within the conspiracy world who’ve already demonstrated what they’re ready to do. The hazard additionally extends to states, as Mr. Trump tells people who election outcomes in Georgia and Arizona can be overturned, and he could possibly be reinstated as president in August. How will QAnon followers or Oath Keepers reply when that doesn’t occur?
Many Republicans rationalize ignoring his rhetoric: His speech on Saturday wasn’t even aired dwell on Fox or CNN, and he might find yourself being indicted in New York and occupied with authorized and monetary issues. So, this pondering goes, what’s the hurt in humoring the man somewhat longer?
The hurt is that the lies have metastasized and will threaten public security once more. The U.S. Capitol Police report that threats towards members of Congress have elevated 107 p.c this 12 months. Representative Adam Kinzinger, a Republican, has famous, “There’s no reason to believe that anybody organically is going to come to the truth.” Representative Liz Cheney, one other Republican, mentioned, “It’s an ongoing threat, so silence is not an option.”
Humoring the man additionally emboldens Mr. Trump’s pardoned allies like Steve Bannon and his former nationwide safety adviser Michael Flynn. Republicans at the moment are flocking to Mr. Bannon’s podcast to audition for Mr. Trump’s assist, and Mr. Bannon says “a litmus test” can be whether or not they’re prepared to problem the end result of the 2020 election. Later this month, Mr. Flynn will seem at an Oklahoma marketing campaign rally with Jackson Lahmeyer, a political novice who’s difficult Senator James Lankford, the Republican incumbent. Mr. Lahmeyer claims the 2020 election was stolen and touts Mr. Flynn’s endorsement, saying now we have to be prepared to “Fight Like a Flynn.”
Republicans could be higher suggested to battle like Senator Margaret Chase Smith. During the Joseph McCarthy period in 1950, she suggested fellow Republicans that the Democrats had already supplied Republicans with enough marketing campaign points, they usually needn’t resort to McCarthy’s demagogy.
The identical is true as we speak. Republicans have to have extra religion of their insurance policies and cease being afraid of a harmful and diminished man who has divided the nation and now divides our social gathering. Reconsider the fee, let the investigation go forward, and run and win in 2022 on the reality.

MESA, Ariz. -- Edwin Jackson had been mentioned as a possible Opening Day option for the Cubs after signing a four-year, $52 million contract, but manager Dale Sveum tabbed Jeff Samardzija. That's OK with Jackson.
"He's a great pitcher and I'm happy for him," Jackson said of Samardzija. "He's the face of the organization and he deserves it. ... At the end of the day, we all want to win. He wants to win, I want to win and every other pitcher wants to win. Whoever gets the Opening Day start, we're happy for each other, and we're just ready for whoever has Opening Day to start the ball rolling in a positive direction for everyone else to feed off of."
Does that mean Jackson could be No. 2 in the rotation?
"Everyone has to be No. 1 on their day -- that's my favorite quote," Jackson said. "Everyone has to be the ace on the day they're pitching."
OK, Jackson may be second in terms of sequence, and could follow Samardzija. It won't be Matt Garza, who remains sidelined with a strained lat.
"We'd definitely rather [Garza] in September when we're coming down the stretch and hopefully making the playoff push," Jackson said. "It's always tough when you're on the other side of it, it's always easier to say, 'Be patient' when you don't have to go through it.
"He'll be fine," Jackson said. "Right now, I'm sure he's anxious, but we'd all be anxious. If I was down, I'd be anxious to get out, too. You have to look for the future and take a deep breath and realize we'd rather have him playing later in the season."

While India were primed to be favourites against South Africa in the three-match Test series, none expected the visitors to dominate the proceedings in the manner that they did. On the back of India’s historic win at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, former South African pacer Morne Morkel heaped praises on the Indian team, calling them as the ‘best team’ in world cricket.
"Well Done. They (Team India) are by far the best team in the world today. In a short time now, you deserve it, they've worked long and hard to support their team that can go an compete away from home," Morkel said during the post-match show.
Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India focused more aggressively on picking up 20 wickets in the Test match, with five bowlers. India claimed their maiden win in Centurion, with 113-run win, on the back of the impressive bowling display from both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.
"The clear game plan that the bowlers can take 20 wickets; so enjoy this moment. I think it's a special feat to be a part of. For me, India are definitely leading the way," he added.
India now head to the Wanderers in Johannesburg with a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series, with a real opportunity of becoming the first Indian side to win a series in the Rainbow nation.

Very good information on the virus and vaccines. Finally getting closer to the truth.
Extensive analysis of what’s in CV itself and also the jabsThe first part of the video mentions the 7 universities unable to isolate the virus but told by CDC to call it SARS COV2 anyway or funding would be pulled….first done in late 2020 (see below). This scientist’s lab was raided in April 2021 and paperwork & computers confiscated. Two lab members committed suicide in 2021 and early 2022 (lab team questions cause of death).“We at the 7 universities that did the lab tests on these 1500 samples are now suing the CDC for Covid 19 fraud. The CDC has yet to send us a single viable, isolated and purified sample of Covid 19. If they can’t or won’t send us a viable sample, I say there is no Covid 19, it is fictitious. The four research papers that do describe the genomic extracts of the Covid 19 virus never were successful in isolating and purifying the samples. All the four papers written on Covid 19 only describe small bits of RNA which were only 37 to 40 base pairs long which is NOT A VIRUS. A viral genome is typically 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.” 12/10/20, Robert Oswald, PhD, Professor of Molecular Medicine, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. [Never heard anything about case; probably dismissed by corrupt courts]https://projectcamelotportal.com/2020/12/31/covid-is-the-con-the-screen-covering-nano-ai-converting-your-cells/The second part of video, as of August 2022,18 scientists tested a total of 2035 vials covering 12 vaxes on the market. The vial contents were the same in all vials except for the adjuvants & synthetic particles. NO biological material was found such as mRNA, spike protein, pseudoviruses. Adjuvants which could harm the body included aluminum hydroxide, synthetic nanoparticals, graphene oxide, heavy metals.

A man whose roadside coupling on Samui became the subject of an online sex clip was made to apologize to reporters and the public on camera after being arrested and fined by police on Tuesday, May 9th.
The randy tourists sparked outrage after reportedly being spotted having sex on a beach in broad daylight.
The video drew massive criticism on social media, where many expressed their disgust and urged the police to take action.
Winai Jitmung, who filmed the couple, said: ‘“This is disgusting. Everyone can see them and they’re not even trying to hide it.
“They are foreign trash.”
Noi Wattana said: “Were they awake at that time or had they been partying all night?
“They should be arrested and apologise for offending our culture.”
Arnau was finally arrested at the hotel. According to him, he just met the woman, who he said was Russian on Sunday night. They drank until morning before going to the beach. Police are still looking for the woman.
The Spaniard was fined 500 baht for public obscenity and made to apologise.
“I am so sorry for everybody in Thailand,” he said, making a wai gesture, to a reporter who followed him out of the police station. “I know it’s not good, but I drank too much.”
“Kho tod kab,” Arnau repeated as instructed by a reporter to say. “ I respect you. I like you. I love you. Sorry for this”

According to Windows Latest, “Microsoft is A/B testing a new feature that is designed to nag users with fullscreen window-less Microsoft Edge recommendations in the OOBE screen.” From the report: The nag will appear when users set up their PC, sign in to their system after applying updates, or when they click on a new ad banner within the Settings. […] Microsoft is trying to convince users of rival browsers who are visiting Windows Settings of the benefits of trying the Chromium Edge. In the Settings app, there’s a new banner that appears to be rolling out to non-Insiders. As you can see in the above screenshot, the advert appears across the top of the Settings app window, just above the settings options. The banner states that you can “get even more out of Windows” and it surprisingly launches the OOBE (out of the box experience) screen. […] This ad appeared only when our devices were set to use Google Chrome and Firefox as the default web browser. The user can easily close the advert by clicking the second option “Don’t update your browser settings.” If you try to skip the setup, the pop-up will appear again in future. Unfortunately, you cannot permanently disable these recommendations in Windows 10.

The news wires were hot yesterday with stories about Sacha Baron Cohen being sued once again over his Borat character, this time by Israeli comedian Dovale Glickman for use of the phrase "wa wa wee wa." (See this fanastic wikipedia entry on Borat; this is the link to the official Borat homepage; this is the link the official Borat movie homepage.). Here is a story (in Hebrew) from the Israeli media. According to the Israeli reports, the phrase originated with three people: Glickman, Anat Gov (the script writer), and Yoram Levi (the director). Glickman used the term in TV in commercials for the Israeli yellow pages company, where Glickman played Saul, a flower vendor. Cohen had access from his time in Israel, a time when the ad was running. The story reported yesterday by the Associated Press reads:
"Following lawsuits from Southern conservatives, frat boys, Romanian villagers and seemingly every other group in the "U.S. and A.," Sacha Baron Cohen could be facing even more legal difficulties over his wacky comedic creation, Borat Sagdiyev. This time his accuser is an Israeli comedian who claims that Borat's signature exclamation of excitement -- "Wa wa wee wa" -- belongs to him.
According to "Good Evening With Guy Pines," an Israeli entertainment news show, Dovale Glickman plans to sue the Golden Globe-award winning comedian for copyright infringement. Baron Cohen capped his Golden Globe acceptance speech by thanking "every American who has not sued me so far." But he didn't count on Glickman. The Israeli comedian coined the phrase 16 years ago, for a character on the hit Israeli comedy show "Zehu Zeh." Glickman further popularized the expression in a series of TV commercials for the Israeli yellow pages. It caught on and is still commonly heard on the Israeli street. When asked by The Associated Press if he planned to press forward with a lawsuit, Glickman would neither confirm not deny the report.
"Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" was a huge hit in Israel, in large part because Israelis were the only ones to truly understand what the anti-Semitic, misogynist Kazakh journalist was actually saying. Few realize that in the movie Borat is not speaking Kazakh or even gibberish, but rather Hebrew."
Under U.S. law, "Wa wa wee wa" (meaning roughly "Wow") would be unprotectible as a short phrase. See 37 C.F.R. 202.1(a). My limited understanding of Israeli copyright law leads me think the same is true under Israeli copyright law. Israeli copyright law was originally derived the 1911 British Act (see this article by Debbie Rabina at Bar Ilan University), although more recently it has been moving toward its own approach. Most recently, an omnibus revision is close to passage. (See this December 28, 2006 summary by Israeli scholar Zohar Efroni at the Stanford Center for Internet & Society website). Two weeks ago, the Economics Committee of the Knesset adopted a non-exhaustive "fair use" provision in its approved text for Section 19 of the pending Copyright Bill. Another excellent source is the excellent Israel Law Review, a peer review journal by the faculty of Hebrew University. The journal publishes outstanding articles on jurisprudence by Israeli scholars as well as scholars from around the world. It also frequently publishes articles on copyright. In its most recent issue (volume 39, no. 3, December 2006), it has an artcle by Professor Guy Pessach (I wonder if he eats kitniyot) entitled "Israel Copyright Law: A Positive Economic Perspective," a law and economics look at the subject.
Returning to the Glickman-Borat contretemps, perhaps the news story really mean that Mr. Glickman intends to pursue a trademark claim (the Israeli reports claim Glickman is upset that Cohen is not even pronouncing the “wa wa wee wa” right), but in any case, to Mr. Glickman, I say, with Borat (hint to non-Hebrew speakers, read the wikipedia entry):

This summer, the university’s innovative E Company program leveraged the time and talents of Elon students to meet the needs of local K-12 students as well as to assist with preparations for fall semester.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of life. For many college students, this included disruptions to their summer internships or job plans and new economic pressures at home. For Alamance County K-12 students, the pandemic meant new learning challenges.
In an effort to provide assistance to its own students and Alamance County schoolchildren, Elon University launched E Company, an innovative new summer program designed for students experiencing canceled internships or economic hardship due to the pandemic. The program leveraged the time and talents of these Elon students to provide educational support to Alamance County children and to assist with the university’s preparations for the fall semester.
“E Company is creating opportunities for these students, some of whom saw internship opportunities disappear due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said President Connie Ledoux Book. “Now they’ll be engaged this summer and can take advantage of experiential learning experiences while serving our community during this challenging time.”
Through E Company, nearly 50 Elon students worked with the “It Takes a Village Project,” the university’s summer enrichment project for a diverse population of local K-12 students, many of whom find school to be daunting, and who come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. The Village Project shifted its impactful Summer in the Village Project online due to the pandemic, a move made possible by the addition of these E Company students. This summer enrichment program is especially important for children who may have fallen behind in their learning when K-12 schools moved to online instruction.
Operating out of the university’s Center for Access and Success, the Village Project takes a collaborative approach to assisting students and their parents with academic support. Each year, the two-week Summer in the Village typically brings students to campus for a two-week lineup of tutoring and learning sessions with local teachers, Elon faculty and staff and student volunteers.
This year, these E Company students were fully engaged in the “Virtual Village” as about 200 K-12 students from Alamance and Guilford counties participated in the summer enrichment program online. The Elon students participated in daily planning and preparation sessions with local teachers, supported teachers during online group learning sessions and led small-group and one-on-one tutoring sessions each day from June 15 through July 10. They worked four hours daily during the four-week program.
“We tried to mimic as best we could the work we would normally be doing on campus during Summer in the Village, and these Elon students are critically important to being able to do that,” said Jean Rattigan-Rohr, vice president for access and success.
Shalexzandra Dunkley ’22 is majoring in biomedical engineering and had begun exploring summer internship opportunities when the pandemic hit. She quickly saw those opportunities dry up, but learned of the opportunity to work with the Virtual Village through E Company and found the opportunity to work while also serving the local community appealing. She worked daily with fifth graders and assisted a teacher in the Virtual Village. Along with the math and reading, she helped her students with, she was able to draw upon her own academic background to incorporate science into her daily small group sessions.
“This is a great opportunity to give back and also to help the kids,” Dunkley said. “It’s so rewarding to spend this time building relationships with the kids and the other teachers involved. What a great chance to be there for each other during this difficult time.”
During the academic year, Rohan Wilson ’22 has worked with Alamance Burlington School System students through the Village Project, and E Company offered him a way to continue that work this summer. The ability to be in service to the community and assist these students during a time when learning is challenging was the biggest draw.
“It can be challenging to learn virtually, but this is definitely worth it because I can see how the students are learning,” said Wilson, an Odyssey Program scholar at Elon. “I know the importance of having a tutor when you’re struggling. I want to be there for these students because I used to struggle in school, too.”
E Company was also designed to assist with the extensive preparations on Elon’s campus for a return to in-person learning in the fall. As part of the initiative’s E Works division, nearly 20 Elon students worked 35 hours a week from June 29 through July 31 with the university’s Information Technology and Physical Plant departments. They served in positions tasked with assisting with social media, video production, technical operations, recycling and waste reduction, and landscaping. Interns assisted with producing training modules for students, faculty and staff as they prepare to return to campus, and showcase preparations on social media.
Abby Gibbs ’21, a journalism and political science major, participated in E Works and was tasked with overseeing the social media channels for Physical Plant with an emphasis on expanding reach and documenting preparations for the fall semester. That included developing a year-long social media plan for the department.
“I’ve had the opportunity to dive into multi-platform content creation,” Gibbs said. “By learning how to expand our audience online and package information on our efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, I’ve developed skills that will carry me through my next career move.”
Gibbs noted that a key element of the experience was getting to know the hardworking Physical Plan staff members that serve the campus community. “They are on the front lines every day, and they truly keep our campus afloat,” Gibbs said. “Overall, I’ve taken away from this experience that an important part of my role is to listen and to inform our community of their incredible work.”
E Works interns were also provided the opportunity to spend five hours each week working on a specially designed program to help them meet the experiential learning requirement in the area of leadership.
Planning for E Company began this spring as it became apparent students would see their summer plans deeply impacted by the pandemic as well. Many students were also seeing their family finances upended by COVID-19, creating new economic pressures at home.
Tom Brinkley, executive director of the Student Professional Development Center, said as many companies moved to remote work they shed their summer internships due to the business disruptions and the inability to have more direct oversight of interns. Some internships have been able to be adapted for students to participate online, and other companies shifted the start of internships to later in the summer or even the fall. Many internships had to be canceled, he said.
“It’s been a disruptive summer for students who are interested in internships, and we needed to create alternative types of experiences for them to take advantage of,” Brinkley said.
Nancy Carpenter, assistant director for student employment and internships, said nearly 200 students applied for the nearly 70 slots in E Company. She heard from students who had lost an internship for the summer, even one who had lost two, or whose plans to work at a restaurant or in retail were derailed by the pandemic.
“We have heard from so many students who are facing very daunting challenges,” Carpenter said. “This program is going to provide them support and a very attractive addition to their resume during this difficult time.”

Germany's Constitutional Court rules Germany can ratify the euro zone's rescue fund and budget pact as long it can guarantee there will be no increase in German financial exposure to the bailout fund without parliament's approval. But how far will the European Stability Mechanism go towards solving the euro zone crisis? Joanna Partridge reports

Despite repeated assurances of an imminent reopening, Malaysia’s My Second Home (MM2H) program – until recently the world’s most popular golden visa – remains inactive 21 months after its initial “soft” suspension. Insiders say politicking is to blame.
Start, stop, start, stop
In September 2018, the government suspended the MM2H without providing an explanation. Three months later, the program reopened. Last week, however, privy sources told The Edge Markets the suspension had its origins in a dispute between the ministries of Home Affairs (MoHA) and of Tourism, Arts, and Culture (MoTAC). The squabble had reportedly arisen over the question of which of the two ministries should administer the program. MoTAC had taken over authority of the program in 2006, prior to which it was within MoHA’s remit.
Starting in April 2019, while MoTAC continued to operate the recently reopened program, all applications became subject to final review by MoHA’s Immigration Department, which introduced more stringent background checks. Elevated vetting standards, in turn, quickly led to a doubling of average processing times.
Early last year, the MM2H Consultants Association (MM2HCA), whose 272 member firms account for the lion’s share of program application volume, reported that authorities had rejected nine out of ten applications filed between September and November 2019. MoTAC initially offered no justification for the unusually high rejection rates, which, in effect, amounted to an unofficial suspension.
In July 2020, MoTAC closed its MM2H office. News of the closure prompted the head of the country’s Immigration Department – which does not sort under MoTAC but under MohA – to convene a press conference wherein he announced the program would henceforth be administered by the Immigration Department.
Later the same day, MoTAC announced the program would begin a temporary hiatus. The government, said the Minister, would take advantage of COVID-related movement restrictions to “improve MM2H” and to “look into its activities and the processes involved”.
The Ministry further commented that “we’re targeting to get everything done by December. It’s not a permanent closure because the program contributes to our economy.”
In October 2020, three months after the program’s hiatus began (and nearly a year following the initial, unofficial suspension), Lim Kok Sai – President of the MM2H Agents Association (a separate, smaller advocacy group than MM2HCA) – said as many as 100 agents would be forced to close operations because of the ongoing moratorium.
December 2020 came and went without further updates from either MoTAC or MoHA.
In March this year, matters looked to be taking an optimistic turn when MoTAC announced it had received a report from the private consulting firm it had engaged to review the program and that a reopening was close at hand. “For us, [the report] looks OK,” said Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri. “God willing, we will bring this matter to the Cabinet, and, once it is approved, we can reactivate the program.” The Minister also said that she was working closely with the Immigration Department of MoHA to address questions of security.
Since March, neither of the two government ministries have made further announcements as to the program’s future.
Residency status of MM2H participants questioned
When Malaysia first sealed its borders in March as a response to the pandemic, thousands of MM2H-participants were unable to return to their permanent homes in the country because they were not citizens. In May 2020, these were finally permitted to return to their homes, but only under strict conditions of quarantining and regular reporting to local authorities. Later in the year, MM2H holders were once more barred from entry.
“Our continued efforts to get the government to treat MM2H visa holders as legitimate residents of Malaysia, just as they do Malaysian citizens, has consistently fallen on deaf ears,” said Andy Davison – CEO of TEG Media, a firm that among other services provides MM2H advisory – in October last year.
“One thing is clear,” added Davison. “The MM2H program has suffered long-term damage, and not just because of COVID-19. It is now clear that the MM2H visa holders have no special residential privileges, and since there is no one in power fighting for the rights of MM2Hers, their status is weak.”
The decimation of an industry
One MM2H consultant, speaking to The Edge Markets, indicated he didn’t believe the program would reopen until Malaysia’s borders did as well.
“And when it resumes, I personally think it will be done in stages, with applicants from ‘green list’ countries being accepted first.”
Anthony Liew, President of MM2HCA, last week estimated that more than half of his organization’s 272 member firms are no longer operational and that those who have remained afloat have been able to do so only by shedding staff and offering downstream services to existing MM2H participants already in the country, such as by assisting with visa renewals.
“I can say that our income is now about 10% of what we earned previously,” lamented Liew.
He also estimated that between two and three thousand applications that had already received initial approvals by the time of the suspension still remain to be finalized.
“The applicants are not able to enter the country to do further endorsements because of the lockdown,” explained Liew. ” In fact, we are also waiting for them to come into the country to collect the balance of our fees,” he commented.
While MM2H is suspended at the Malaysian federal level, it remains open in Sarawak, a state of Malaysia on the island of Borneo that, thanks to constitutional provisions, exercises local autonomy in a number of policy areas, including on matters related to immigration.

Like many local bars and restaurants that have limited their offerings to curbside pickup and delivery, other small businesses have shifted their services in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. One of St. Louis’ most beloved flower and garden shops, Flowers and Weeds, offers bouquets, starter plants, herbs and more available for pick-up or delivery to your door.
Due to a mandatory stay-at-home order that goes into effect on Monday for St. Louis city, Sunday will be the retail greenhouse and garden center’s last day to take advantage of these options. Patrons can still act now to procure spring garden supplies while supporting the homegrown Cherokee Street mainstay.
“Springtime is obviously our busiest time of the year when everything’s coming back alive and people are starting to plant their gardens. During these strange times, I think it’s great therapy to be outside in your garden. It’s very calming and rewarding,” says Jessica Douglass, who launched the company in 2012 has been running the store with co-owner Carly Meyer at its current location for nearly five years.
“We’re focused on permaculture, which is planting things that are edible and planting natives, or things that are beneficial to your environment that work with what you have,” she says. “I think it’s amazing to be able to grow your own food and prepare your entire meal from your garden.”
Guests can currently place call-in orders for pick-up or delivery. Alternatively, a walk-up window features a list of offerings that can be prepared and picked up curbside. Starter vegetables include lettuce, arugula, spinach, onions, broccoli, beets, chard, celery, rainbow carrots, fennel, peas, swiss chard, kale and cabbage. Strawberries are also available as well as a variety of herbs including basil, sage, chamomile, parsley and chives.
The selection includes organic starters from Biver Farms in Illinois. Baker Creek Heirloom seeds out of Mansfield, Missouri, are also available in varieties such as turnips, collards, celery and tomatoes. The shop also sells bags of compost, top soil, potting soil and neem oil as well as tools including gardening gloves, watering cans and kana hoes.
“I think it’s important to be able to provide starters, seeds, soil and beautiful flowers for people right now,” Douglass says. “It’s scientifically proven that flowers increase your mood. They’re scientifically proven to make you feel better.”
Flowers and Weeds also features an online shop that features everything from colorful bouquets and air plant terrarium kits to T-shirts and gift cards. For local resources on gardening, Douglass recommends Gateway Greening, Missouri Botanical Garden and Custom Foodscaping, which features sustainable edible garden landscaping.
“I think it’s important to stress keeping money in the community right now,” Douglass says. “We have beautiful flowers from Urban Buds right now. A dollar spent at Flowers and Weeds goes a lot further to help your community out than a dollar at a big-box store.”
Flowers and Weeds will be open today and tomorrow from 10am to 6pm before closing until further notice. Check the store's Instagram for updates.

Ensuring the safety and security of sensitive areas, such as data centers, research facilities, and corporate headquarters, demands robust access control measures. One of the significant challenges faced by security professionals is preventing unauthorized access through tailgating - the act of an unauthorized person following an authorized individual through a secured entry point. To tackle this issue effectively, the OPTEX Redscan LiDAR Detection Series offers cutting-edge technology that enhances anti-tailgating applications for mantraps and vestibules. In this blog article, we explore how the Redscan LiDAR Detection Series can revolutionize security protocols and protect against tailgating incidents.
Understanding Tailgating and Its Risks
Tailgating occurs when an unauthorized person exploits the momentary lapse in security by closely following an authorized individual through an access point, bypassing the established entry procedure. This security breach exposes facilities to various risks, including:
In data centers or research facilities, unauthorized individuals can gain access to sensitive information and compromise critical research or intellectual property.
Corporate headquarters may face threats from disgruntled employees or individuals with malicious intent who can enter unrestricted areas undetected.
Failure to prevent tailgating can lead to regulatory non-compliance, leading to legal and financial consequences.
In high-security areas, tailgating can also lead to accidents and potential harm to personnel and property.
The Role of Mantraps and Vestibules in Security
Mantraps and vestibules are secure access control systems designed to mitigate the risks of unauthorized entry. They consist of an interlocking set of doors that prevent multiple individuals from entering simultaneously. The first door must close and lock before the second door opens, ensuring that only one person can pass through at a time. However, mantraps and vestibules are only effective if the access control system can reliably detect and prevent tailgating attempts.
OPTEX Redscan LiDAR Detection Series: A Game-Changer for Anti-Tailgating Applications
LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging technology, utilized in the Redscan Detection Series, is a sophisticated and highly accurate sensor system that utilizes laser beams and time of flight technology to detect moving objects within a predefined area. The Redscan series boasts several features that make it an ideal solution for anti-tailgating applications, such as:
Redscan's advanced LiDAR technology can detect and track the movement of individuals with exceptional precision, virtually eliminating false alarms.
The Redscan series provides a broad detection range, with the Redscan Pro models having the ability to cover both horizontal and vertical planes. Its 165 ft. x 330 ft. range, or up to 530ft vertical detection with its expansion mode, effectively safeguards the entire mantrap or vestibule entry point.
Security professionals can fine-tune the sensor's sensitivity and detection zones to cater to the specific security needs of the facility.
The Redscan series seamlessly integrates with existing security systems, such as access control and video surveillance systems, enhancing overall security effectiveness.
When integrated with an access control system, the Redscan sensor triggers immediate alerts if it detects unauthorized individuals attempting to tailgate through the secure entry point.
Benefits and Applications
The integration of OPTEX Redscan LiDAR Detection Series into mantraps and vestibules offers several benefits:
By accurately detecting and raising alarms against tailgating attempts, the Redscan series ensures that only authorized personnel gain access to restricted areas.
Security personnel receive real-time alerts, allowing for immediate response to potential security breaches.
By strengthening access control measures, organizations can uphold compliance with industry standards and regulations.
The Redscan series logs and records tailgating attempts, providing valuable data for incident analysis and security improvement.
In conclusion, the OPTEX Redscan LiDAR Detection Series is a powerful tool that significantly enhances security measures in mantraps and vestibules. By effectively preventing tailgating attempts, this cutting-edge technology ensures that unauthorized individuals are denied access to sensitive areas, safeguarding valuable assets, information, and personnel. As the threat landscape evolves, investing in innovative security solutions like the Redscan LiDAR Detection Series becomes paramount for organizations aiming to maintain robust security protocols.

Ukraine, together with the USA, is preparing to hold a defense forum in Washington in December this year.
What is known about the joint defense forum of Ukraine with the United States in Washington
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that during his visit to Washington in September of this year, he agreed with American leader Joe Biden on several specific things that will strengthen the defence capabilities of Ukraine and the United States and other partners since joint production of weapons always strengthens the positions of countries.
He noted that the forum will be a powerful event that will be part of the development of the Defense Industries Forum in September.
He thanked the United States, President Biden, his team, Congress, and both parties that support Ukraine and American defence companies and partners in Europe.
The head of OPU, Andriy Yermak, clarified that the Ukrainian and American defence industry conference will be held on December 6-7. It is planned to study the possibilities of joint production of weapons.
What is known about the significant strengthening of Ukrainian air defense and the cancellation of long alarms
The head of state emphasized that the current level of Ukrainian air defense makes it possible to modernize the response system to the takeoff of the "Kinzhal" carriers without unnecessary work stoppages of departments and enterprises due to long air alarms.

Sharing your thoughts and activities on Facebook in and of of itself is not necessarily a problem. The problem comes when users forget that everyone in their social network is reading their posts. When you post something in frustration over your boss, co-worker, spouse, or friend, remember that the boss, co-worker, spouse, or friend-and all their networked friends (and all of their networked friends)-may also be reading your posts. It is possible to take part in Facebook and still maintain a modicum of privacy. To accomplish this, keep these 10 lessons in mind.

Lately, it seems like nobody's information is safe on the web. From CitiGroup, Inc., to Google's Gmail, to Sony's Playstation Network, hackers have been running amuck on the web. Dastardly hackers aren't the only ones getting access to your information, however. Rarely discussed is the information that's being doled out by websites to third parties, on purpose. A recent study titled "Privacy Leakage vs. Protection measures: the growing disconnect," released from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, co-authored by Professor Craig Wills, shows that of 100 popular websites studied, nearly 75% are leaking personal and sometimes sensitive data about users.
Posted Jun 14, 2011
In October, The Wall Street Journal reported that several popular Facebook applications had been transmitting users' personal identifying information to literally dozens of advertising and internet tracking companies. While Facebook maintains that there is "no evidence that any personal information was misused or even collected as a result of this issue," not all observers have been appeased.

On first arriving, Hong Kong can easily overwhelm the visitor. It’s a heaving mass of tightly packed skyscrapers and garish neon lights, where life goes on at a breathless pace. This former British protectorate is a real feast for the eyes and, especially within the confines of chaotic inner city Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon, you get a sensory overload of contradictions. At every turn there are steaming hole-in-the-wall canteens serving up street food that will truly take you out of your culinary comfort zone, alongside glitzy hi-tech malls, and crumbling tenement blocks. Come rush hour, bicycle rickshaws and historic trams compete with the world’s most efficient metro system.

German nationality law is the law governing the acquisition, transmission and loss of German citizenship. The law is based on a mixture of the principles of jus sanguinis and jus soli. In other words, one usually acquires German citizenship if a parent is a German citizen, irrespective of place of birth, or by birth in Germany to parents with foreign nationality if certain requirements are fulfilled. Naturalisation is also possible for foreign nationals after six to eight years of legal residence in Germany. However, non-EU and non-Swiss citizens must usually renounce their old citizenship before being naturalised in Germany. Citizens of other EU countries and of Switzerland usually can keep their old citizenship (see section "Dual citizenship"). Some EU countries do not allow dual citizenship even with other EU countries.
A significant reform to the nationality law was passed by the Bundestag (the German parliament) in 1999, and came into force on 1 January 2000. The reformed law makes it somewhat easier for foreigners resident in Germany on a long-term basis, and especially their German-born children, to acquire German citizenship.
