🔹Qu: Ms. Namagiri
➖
▪️Nahid Raza▪️ Leena Rai ▪️Sangeeta Thyagarajan▪️ Dr. Sekar Srinivasan ▪️Archna ▪️Ramachandran▪️ Rev fr George▪️ Rajesh Fernando ▪️Pooja Hanji ▪️Azeez▪️ Madhumita Jana
▪️Nahid Raza: Admissions pour in on the basis of literacy, creativity and games appropriate to the age and class the child is in.
Performance in school throughout the year a child does is essential.
▪️Archana: Admissions happens on the basis of -
Brand Name
Teachers affiliation with Schools
Prospects of Holistic growth of a child
Past Results of Board examinations.
In the recent years,.parents have become very selective about schools.
But these four points are central point of needs and requirements of each parent.
Also the fee.
▪️Rajesh Fernando Motivation: Admissions are based on
Efforts and Rewards
Efforts what we initiate for LKG students
Creativity Learning Constructive Learning and character development Learning
Results
Class 12 where in Result orientation draw admission in the school level
▪️AZEEZ: Schools irrespective of Govt/Public/Private/Partial....are impartial in striving to get admissions towards it.
▪️Nahid Raza: What are the elements of holistic growth ?
▪️Rev Fr George Nedunkallel: Admissions to school may depend on:
1. Character formation
2. Quality of teachers
3. Rapport of management with teachers and parents
4. Infrastructure of the school
5. Brand name
6. Positive opinion of the alumni community
7. Involvement of the student and parent community in the day to day running of the school
▪️Nahid Raza: How could HG be brought about?
▪️AZEEZ: The reason behind in Govt sector is that the teacher becomes surplus and again surplus and again surplus....finally merges with next school. By the way next generation teachers miss their openings.
▪️Sangeetha Thyagarajan: Media and internet marketing seems to give the best results.
School should have an updated website with all required information and parent reviews.
An extensive gallery, updated social media for posts on all academic/ co-scholastic activities works wonders.
Other ways like:- word of mouth, teacher empowerment, parent reference etc., also give mediocre results.
▪️AZEEZ: From the private sector, less admission leads to shortage of income. Again teachers reduction, less salary.....
▪️Archana: There are five areas of Development that Hould be given importance to
Cerebral, Emotional, Physical, Social and Spiritual development of a child.
As per budgets and funds schools can design curriculum or extra curricular activities in each category.
▪️Pooja Hanji: We should even observe why there dropouts from one school and joining other schools.
We will get the exact reason for our limitations or areas we are lacking.
We need to improve them.
For every school how important the number of admissions are, it is equally important for us to concentrate on number of dropouts
▪️Leena Rai: These days not the quality but the quantity attracts more and the bargaining capability of the fee in rural areas alongwith the hype you create on social handles exagerrating a lot about your school and it's working
And keep on posting the posters of class X and XII results where it doesn't matter how much students learnt as a skill
No one tries to understand the concept of RICH DAD POOR DAD when they are after the fixed scenario of a big fat salary package.
▪️Ramachandran: School admission
It depends entirely on the skill development training of the students
1) Uniqueness
2) Diversity
3) Creativity
4) Ability to make
5) Social responsibility
6) Development of life skills
7) Creative ability with understanding of artistic literature
8) Scientific language
9) Instant action potential
10) Inspiring to live in the future
▪️Madhumita Jana: I agree to all the points mentioned by the educators.
A few more points that could influence the parents to seek admission in a particular school could be as follows :
Not just qualified teachers but there should be well qualified and understanding Management.
Choosing a School for the Curriculum that has a balance between traditional and modern methods of learning.
School Culture and values
School Timings
Healthy and skill based Extracurricular Activities.
The schools that have Proper Safety measures and follow the Security protocols .
▪️AZEEZ: Point:1
School faces two great challenges:
(1) To retain existing students
(2) To ensure good number of new enrollments/admission in the school.
People mind set has changed. People inquire and investigate so much before making a final decision for selecting a new school for their ward.
People are looking beyond the personal limitations.
Parent is ready to spend money but they are looking for quality education.
The fact is true. Parents know well that education make bigg changes in their wards life. And only education can do that. Everyday parents are seeing one or other personalities who excel in their life. Living examples are nearby them. This is very much true in our country like India.
In our country school going kids are first generation kids entering into schools/colleges/professional colleges.....
So parents are very much cautious in choosing good schools. Now it is the school's turn to take a step forward to attract students towards them with their ample facilities.
▪️Dr Sekar Seenivasan: Nice . Some best practices like hand writing enhancing coaching, other languages learning facility, good habit cultivation programmes, personality development assurance and assistance are all some needs of contemporary parents
▪️Ramachandran: Although there are general concepts of school admissions, But admissions vary from school to school because each school has different needs and needs to be planned accordingly. A general scheme of preparation is absolutely impossible.
▪️AZEEZ: Correct. Needs varies from place to place, culture to culture...
Point 2
Existing Parents and students are an image builder of school:
Parent is brand ambassador of school. We wish to establish our school as a distinctive brand at local, state and on national platform.
School management uses different tools and techniques to advertise school.
Our task is to share our vision and mission with maximum number of people in the society. We develop communication channel with people from different walks of life.
Exiting parents are very important for a school. They are our true consumer or you can call it as customer. Existing parents solve this bigger issue in an easy manner.
School parents observe latest development and progress in different field and they discuss same information with their colleagues, peers, family member and other society members on different occasions.
▪️Pooja Hanji: Parents even whether schools are academic oriented or not.
Teaching methodology
Sports orientated
Syllabus
Type of crowd
Support staff
Infrastructure
▪️AZEEZ: Parent a decision maker in taking child’s admission in a school:
Parent is prime decision maker at home for taking decision.
Parent considers a number of facts before selecting a good school for his/her child.
Parent wishes to send the child in a good cultured school.
If a school system is able to fulfill all parameters of a parent and is able to convince the parent that his/her child will be at right place for getting quality education, then only parent takes decision to enroll the child in the school.

Parent motivates other parent to take admission:
Parent is the best resource for a school. Parent positive feelings and positive words have great impact on other person’s mind.
A person who is looking for good school in his vicinity (a) visit school websites for basic information (b) talk to local known parent for getting feedback of school and (c) visit school for confirming and assuring himself/herself that s/he reached at right school.
Parent positive feedback is much convincing factor for a prospective parent than any other means of advertisements. It is an effective assurance from a person who is utilizing the service and has great satisfaction for the present school system.
Next is how to identify parents ambassordors of a school?
We are discussing how can a parent infuence in a school admission
A school leader/teacher can either create or discover school brand parent ambassodors from their existing parents.
School leader creates a deep bonding with parents. School leader identifies intelligent, intellectual and well versed parents. We identify positive parent as a resource person during one to one interaction. School leader prepare a list of positive parent
We can do it:-
@ During Parent Teacher Meeting/Conference
@ Parent-Principal Meeting at school office
@ Through discussion and meeting with class teacher and teachers
@ Parent Relation Executive, or with the other resource
@ Through one parent to other
School leader develops good rapport with parent. S/he follows parents by calling now and then, sending SMS , email, cards. We can send best wishes on different special occasions. Parent feels happy and develops an emotional bonding with school.
▪️Dr Sekar Seenivasan: Through best performing students their parents should be invited as guest of honour for class wise appreciative programmes and allow them to know much about systems of excellence and special deeds of our school. They should be encouraged to speak on our behalf at social functions of community and society at large
Parents will be turned as our school ambassadors on non tangential benefits.
▪️Madhumita Jana: Yes. Also parents can be invited as judges for the various inter group or inter school competitions that are held in school from time to time. They feel very happy and feel involved in school activities.
▪️AZEEZ: Existing parents are the greatest asset of a school.
Their satisfaction with the school solves two tier purposes. Firstly, they will keep their child in the same school and secondly they are prime resource to reach target community for new admissions.
So,
• Well aware about the taste and temperament of existing families
• Keep regular touch with existing parents
• Organize face to face meeting with the yes/no parent
• Try to understand parents next level demand/wish
• Organize small get together with parents on a coffee table
• Personal phone call to all existing guardians to communicate extended features of school and beneficial factors to re-enroll
•Work out the areas of dissatisfaction of existing parents and improvement must be conveyed individually related to individual parent (improvement in handwriting, behavior)
Parent is our prime stakeholder. Parents will be our brand ambassador only when we nurture their kids properly on our school premises.
Our rational efforts to develop their child as an integrated personality will win the heart of a parent.
School management spends a lot of money on advertising school but enriching parents’ experience with school solves various schools’ at a glance.
Experienced, empowered and satisfied parents positive words about the school has concrete and solid effect on prospective parents who are searching a good school within the vicinity for his/her ward.
Let be the first to become a game changer!
Point 2:
Reputation of the school
1. FIRST in the schools make wonders. The word FIRST is important and is the measuring guage of a school reputation.
It is easy to measure the reputation of a school through the word FIRST.
1. FIRST in the schools make wonders. The word FIRST is important and is the measuring guage of a school reputation.
It is easy to measure the reputation of a school through the word FIRST.
Some terms are:
First in the city/town/unit/zone....
First in results
First in using technologies
First in sports and other activities
First in introducing new infrastucture.............
The list goes on.....
By scoring first in anything adds deep into the memory of our consumers. By the way we are giving a knowledge about our school. By the way we are making people to step into our campus. By the way we are inviting inquiries.
It is the magic word called FIRST that converts inwuiries into admission
2. Importance of first knowledge about school in admission campaign
Every school plans ahead for establishing school as brand on local, state and country level. School management conducts so many intensive surveys to know the pulse of people.
Generally school adopts various means and methods to promote the school i.e. (1) developing responsive school website (2) advertisement through print material (3) television and online advertisement (4) school prospectus (5) school magazine.
Prospective parent explores all possible available sources to find out good school before choosing right school for getting his son/daughter enrolled.
Generally parent shows faith on the words of friends and neighbors, who may themselves be parents of existing students in the school.

antifamutantdown replied to your post:
Thanks to a friend I got my grubby little hands on...
Kalen… You must review the rest I can’t do this anymore
So far the only other ones I’ve read are X-Men #1 and Marauders #1, and I have very little thoughts on them!
My X-Men #1 thoughts can be summed up as cool space house, Krakoan dish soap is neat idea but also gross, we don’t need to see that, why is Havok there, why is Havok anywhere, die Havok die, yay Gabe! Its so weird that I like megalomaniacal actually canon despot and father killer Gabriel Summers better than Alex but like, in his defense Corsair is a shitty father, the Shi’ar Empire is a shitty empire, and like, spending a decade entombed on an asteroid while Xavier mindwipes everyone into forgetting you ever even existed would make anyone cranky, also like, could be worse, at least he’s not Alex. But also, why is he talking like that, its so weird and unnecessary, and also also, I do need SOME context for why he’s suddenly bbq-ing on the moon with his brothers and dad like he never once flambeed said dad like he’s currently searing those steaks, like....did he just Get Over Everything or did Xavier give him a homicidal-otomy before sticking his consciousness back in a shiny new body? I need answers!
But also lolol at him trolling Logan, even if it was in that weird ‘yo, Shakespeare’s dead, we don’t have to talk like this anymore’ kinda way. But also, Teen Cable calling Scott Dad and Jean Mom and asking them if he can trade guns with Raza and finally getting a chance to be parented the way Cable’s always deserved IS MY EVERYTHING, WHY AM I SO WEAK, and him and Rachel getting to be actual siblings and them all FINALLY having a chance to be an actual, somewhat normal FAMILY, like, this is the literal first time in any of their histories that they’ve all been together and just...enjoying a meal together, its....ugh. This is the good food. THIS is the food I’ve been waiting for. But now plz hurry up and tell me if they’re all being mind controlled by Evil Chucky, this is highly critical information and I need it and want it, please can I have it.
Meanwhile, my Marauders #1 thoughts can be summed up as:
Kitty being all yo-ho-yo-ho a pirate’s life for me in a sailboat is random as fuck, I don’t care about the story’s explanation, it just is. Also a million snores to the OH NOES, AM I EVEN A MUTANT AT ALL plot that I had hoped died with the Neo and all the other nonsense Claremont plot bunnies that never needed to be brought to fruition. I am TIRED. I do not CARE. Points to Bobby for making the Only Valid Top Joke, nobody needs to make any others ever, but minus those same points for the random switch of the Pyro that is gay and has slept with Bobby and has Sexual Tension with him for the Pyro that was basically just dead for twenty years, juuuuuuust in time for Bobby and the Not Gay Pyro to be teammates in the same book whereas the‘Bobby just hit that fairly recently and you’d think this merited followup’ Pyro is once more, nowhere to be found. I am SUSPICIOUS.
But also, death times infinity to the equally inexplicable plot point of Why Is Kitty In Charge When Ororo, Whomst Canonically Is Like The Literal Best Leader The X-Men Have Ever Had and Also Has Actual Queen and Goddess On Her Resume....is like....literally standing right there. We get it. Kitty is amazing, she is the most amazingest maybe!mutant who ever did live, even if she’s not even a mutant or whatever. Like, I actually like Kitty, but part of that like is me maintaining that she would be equally Valid as a character even if she’s NOT the Most Important Maybe!Mutant in all the land, even when she is not on land, but is being a pirate on a sailboat. I just do not get this constant obsessive need to push her as the ultimate successor of Xavier’s dream, like, the figurehead of the next generation of X-Men....when the older generations of X-Men ARE STILL RIGHT HERE.
Its okay to just have her be a super genius spy computer hacker and also canon ninja ghost girl! She doesn’t also have to be Head Honcho In Charge Of All The X-Men Even Though We Refuse To Render a Hard Verdict On Whether Or Not She’s Canonically Old Enough To Drink Yet. We promise to be impressed by her regardless! I am TIRED. I do not CARE. Let Ororo be the leader she’s always been and always should be, instead of just having her stand behind Punky Brewster: The College Years and co-sign her Important Declarations with an“I’m With Her” T-shirt because lol why even give Ororo dialogue if you don’t need to, am I right, X-writers?
Like....you put Kitty in charge of a lineup that consists of Ororo, Bobby and Bishop, literally ALL of whom are older than her, more powerful than her, have decades more experience than her, AND have experience being team leaders themselves (yes, even BOBBY, albeit his experience wasn’t with an‘official’ team lineup, but its well established that he was defacto leader of his oddball lineup during the O:ZT era, and he managed to get them all the way to the Final Boss Fight and win the day without a single one of the mutants under his care kicking the bucket in the betwixt time which is like, more than 90% of mutant leaders can say about their team lineups).
I’M JUST SAYING that like, even if you want Kitty to be team leader because she’s obviously qualified, like I’m not even disputing that, I’m just being like bwuh, why THIS particular team though? Its so random and like, none of these characters need the girl they all used to babysit to hold their hands and tell them where to go next and who to zap with some of the most potent mutant powers in all of mutant-dom, all of which carry a degree of responsibility that she’s never had to struggle with herself and never will because like....she can’t accidentally wipe a city off the map when she sneezes.
LOOK I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PLOT POINT THAT’S BARELY EVEN A PLOT POINT, I just...I don’t get Ultimate Boss Lady Kitty Pryde. I mean, again, its NOT remotely about whether or not she’s capable of the job, she’s more than qualified and competent out the wazoo, I just don’t get the seeming NEED they have to push her as Big Bad Boss Lady when again...Ororo is STANDING RIGHT THERE. It doesn’t make SENSE.
Also, the colorist on this issue SUCKETH THE BIG ONES and needs to go back to coloring school until they can learn to shade and color Ororo’s skin tones appropriately. She should not look like she and Kitty go to the same tanning salon and then get called away to save the day before anything close to a tan is even gotten. Like, what in all the fucks in the great kingdom of Here’s A Lotta Fucks, was up with that fucking colorist. Who hurt you? Whomever told them it was okay for Ororo to look like that deserves a swift kick in the Oh No You Don’t’s.
Okay there you go! My review of the other two that I’ve read so far. Last week was pretty shitty for me so I didn’t even try to read Excalibur #1, because all I knew is it had Apocalypse‘on the team’ and I noped in the other direction whilst saying, Lord, I do not have the patience this week to see what the fuck they come up with to justify Apoca-freaking-lypse just kicking it around the island and then being all yeah sure, let’s totally team up to go have magical shenanigans in Otherworld, like, I’m sure there’s a reason, but I do not have the brain cells to spare right now on the off chance that the reason is so dumb, multiple of my brain cells simply give up and willfully expire on the spot, rather than try and make sense of the idiocy.
Sooooo, I could just not be giving that premise enough credit, or I could be giving it too much. Time will tell. As for the rest, that about wraps up the current state of my thoughts on all things Dawn of X, with my ultimate takeaway being mostly cool stories so far dudes, but also, just FYI, I refuse to let myself get too too invested in any of this yet, on the off chance that Evil Chucky ISN’T riding shotgun in everyone’s brains and occasionally taking the wheel to use them all to make weird ass decisions like life is one giant game of Grand Theft Auto for him. Because if he’s NOT playing Gepetto to their Pinocchios, there are some WEIRD ASS character beats and story choices going down, and I actually Dislike instead of Like, so making a ruling on just how much of this is Evil Chucky vs how much of this is just Shitty Writing is like....pretty fucking key and I would like enough info to render a verdict on that matter, like, post fucking haste, so plz feel free to stand and deliver on that any day now, Marvel.

Business of Art | Five Ways to Stake Your Claim in the Arts Ecosystem
Takeaways from the inaugural Art World Conference that can help you focus your creative energies to develop a more purposeful practice.
Art World Conference is a new business and financial literacy conference that includes panel discussions, conversations, and in-depth workshops addressing many of the opportunities and challenges faced by artists and arts professionals. The inaugural conference was held on April 25-27 in Manhattan, and brought 300 people together in dialogue around such topics as storytelling, marketing, investing, and growing and sustaining community. Fiscally Sponsored by The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), the conference featured an esteemed line-up of speakers, moderators, and panelists including NYFA Board Member Tiana Webb Evans, Caroline Woolard (ABI ‘17), and Doctor’s Hours ConsultantsLarry Ossei-Mensahand Steven Sergiovanni. Here are five takeaways from the conference that you can apply to your practice today.
Tell Your Story
You know your work inside and out, and how you talk and write about it matters. Don’t rely on art world jargon to tell your story for you, it often distracts and can unintentionally distance people from your work. Says Writer and Critic Antwaun Sargent: “Sometimes language hides what you’re really after, and what you’re trying to say. Jargon can hinder the fullest expression of your work." He recommends that even artists who are uncomfortable writing write about their work. “It’s a good exercise, and it doesn’t need to be structured in a traditional way. Some of the best artists that I’ve come across have some sort of documentation of their work that is written [by them]. It allows for another expression” of their ideas. Curator Sara Raza frames it as a way of articulating the experience of the studio visit through writing: “Think about a set of words that aren’t overly theoretical but show key concerns of practice that articulate where you’re going and what you’re doing."
Learn by Failing
As an artist, you’re constantly experimenting and problem-solving to achieve new heights in your career. The same mindset can be applied to other critical components of your career. “Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results,” said Mark Rosen, Associate Director of Marketing, Artsy. “It may be a blow to the ego, but you need to recognize what you’re doing and let it evolve,” he added. Rosen spoke specifically to how artists can find success on Instagram, a question that is on the mind of many creatives. One way to determine whether your posts and stories are resonating? First, use a free app like Planoly to plan out your posts in advance. This is an especially great benefit to artists with limited resources, as they can dedicate a block of time each week to schedule content in bulk. Timing is one of several factors that can help make your posts more or less successful, so test out times in two week increments and see what works best for your feed.
With social media and other components of your practice, re-evaluate regularly, as what may have worked for you in the past is no longer working in the present. “Social is changing every 15 seconds, it will change now and it will change again,” advises Rosen. In another panel discussion, Deborah Obaili, President and Executive Director, Association of Independent Colleges of Art & Design, cited the words of a colleague who encouraged artists to recognize that “what you need from a personal/creative practice standpoint is very different from the kinds of needs you’ll have in 20, 30, 40 years from now. There’s a continual learning curve.”
Resources: Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds (AK Press, 2017) and Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones (Avery, 2018)
Embrace Community
Community matters and can often open the door to new opportunities. Take the example of Prerana Reddy, Director of Programs, A Blade of Grass. She and a group of her peers formed the South Asian Women’s Artist Collective in 1997 to create a space for support and community and means of facilitating and presenting work. One of the members joined the staff of Queens Museum, brought Reddy into the fold, and helped to usher in a new era at the museum where it was more inclusive of its diverse local community. “Being accountable to the local community is not often something that a contemporary art museum does, but over time it became something that the Queens Museum did” and does through today.
Community also extends far beyond the walls of your studio, home, or office. “You’re part of a much larger ecosystem. Part of being in a creative practice is that you have a solid foundation from which to leap from,” said Esther Robinson, Co Executive Director, ArtBuilt, while moderating a discussion on real estate for visual artists. The panel stressed the importance of artists getting involved in their communities and holding state and local government accountable in the fight for affordable live and work space. Said Robinson: Developers “want us to give up. Make sure you know what your own values are and how to move forward.”
Wherever you make connections and foster community, do so authentically. Online, “Genuinely engage with content to help develop relationships. The more love you show, the more love you’ll get,” says Mark Rosen.
Resources: NYC Loft Tenants; Spaceworks; ArtBuilt; Never Eat Alone, Expanded and Updated: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time (Penguin Random House, 2014)
Practice Self-Care
Those in the arts community have a lot to juggle, from keeping up with the day-to-day to the larger pressures of defining success in a challenging industry. Lisa Kim, Director, The Ford Foundation Gallery, got to the heart of it by asking the question, “How can you manage your time and emotional resources wisely?” Alex Paik, Artist and Director, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, takes a refreshing approach: “Once you give up the idea that you can balance everything—just do what you are doing as well as you can while you’re doing it...Being present in the tasks that you’re doing makes them feel a bit more manageable.” Another piece of advice that can be applied widely comes from Prerana Reddy: “Find your time to be alone and whatever it is that’s meditative. You need to be bored to be creative. You need to pass boredom to get to creativity. It’s harder to get there because we don’t give ourselves time to be alone. Find that thing that allows you to be bored enough to rest yourself.”
Protect Your Work
“There’s no art market without the artists,” said Artist Mickalene Thomas in an afternoon panel discussion on Protecting Artists’ Rights that reviewed topics including contracts, copyright, and Fair Use. As artists, you have the power to control your narrative and legacy and you don’t have to do it alone. Artists’ Rights Society (ARS) represents the intellectual property rights of more than 80,000 artists and estates worldwide, including Thomas; it’s free and any artist can join. Pro-tip from Thomas: “When you have one blanket contract, it becomes easier to negotiate the others. Just have a clear understanding of what you want from the project, and write those down. If you do have a lawyer, try to go through it yourself first. When it comes time for the lawyer, it’s more for approval.” Said Attorney Anibal A. Luque: “A template is a great way to start protecting and enforcing your rights. Docracy.com is a great resource for usually artist-friendly templates. Another resource is UpConsel. Most contracts are governed state by state, so if you are getting a template make sure it is state specific.”
Additional Resources: Copyright Alliance, copyright.gov, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, A Fair(y) Use Tale, Legal Guide for the Visual Artist (Allworth Press, 2010), and nyfa.org.
Telling your story, learning by failing, embracing community, practicing self-care, and protecting your work are just a few of the ways that you can take a more active role in your arts career to initiate positive change and momentum. “There is no prescribed path, and even if there was it wouldn’t hold everyone in this room” said Deana Haggag, President/CEO, United States Artists during her keynote address at the Art World Conference. “Learning together and showing up for one another as needed is the only way to empower our field,” she added.

Parey Hut Love won't be a frothy entertainer says director during KT cast visit
STANDING OUT FROM the crowd; it is an advertiser's mantra, although when applied to the general public's passions such as food and, in this case, film, sticking your head above the parapet can be fraught with difficulty. Just as when a Dubai restaurant attempts to zhuzh up a tried and tested dish - we can't help but think of the 'ruined' biryani accusations we have received in response to a favourable review of an avant-garde eatery - tampering with a South Asian rom-com often prompts similar outcry. Although not strictly humorous, who can forget the laughable reaction Bollywood'sLove Story 2050(2008) provoked when the film dabbled in a bit of time travel to tell the, well... love story? It is this delicate tightrope walk Pakistani director Asim Raza has hoped to successfully navigate with his latest offering, the 'big fat desi' spectacular,Parey Hut Love,opening in time for Eid Al Adha on August 8. Visiting theKhaleej Timesoffice on Sunday he and cast members: Sheheryar Munawar, Maya Ali, Zara Noor Abbas and Ahmad Ali Butt, were in a more ebullient mood than the movie stars who normally breeze through, perhaps a result of the family atmosphere created on set to which they alluded.Diving into loveDespite being only his second feature (Ho Mann Jahaancame out in 2016) Raza's directorial cachet has been curated through 25 years in the business, beginning with commercials before graduating to music videos and TV series. The commitment to makingParey Hut Love a success, however, was immediately clear as the 52-year-old took an assured lead on the questions from the start. A stance supported by his, at all times, adoring actors."The more traditional looking the film is the more difficult it is to get heard," Raza began when asked about penetrating the saturated rom-com market. "We have tried to add some substance to it. It won't just be a frothy entertainer. It would have layers and values. It would have all the right ingredients. Once you get home you will be carrying something with you." While not explicitly stating what those components could be, principal actor and one of the movie's producers, Munawar, let us in on some of the picture's less than traditional elements. First his character, also called Sheheryar, is a 'commitment-phobe' - totally against love. Then there's the choice of the protagonists' professions. The three friends to which we are primarily introduced: Sheheryar, Arshad (Butt) and Shabbo (Abbas), all co-habit and dream of entering the film industry."Life is going well before he runs into the beautiful Saniya (Ali). He has to choose between staying a commitment-phobe or fall madly in love," Munawar said."I'm playing a typical Karachi wannabe director," Butt added, before going on to highlight Arshad's quirkier and almost nefarious traits. "He knows his best friend wants to be an actor, so he's always exploiting his situation. He's always maneuvering him into some odd places. In a way when a new character enters their lives, he's a bit on the defensive. He doesn't want to share his friends. It's all about his insecurity."The female roles may be not as unconventional with Abbas revealing Shabbo is somewhat naïve and, "in love with someone but cannot say it to their face," and Ali drawing on the similarities between herself and Saniya: "It wasn't too difficult for me to play her. Saniya is beautiful and mature," though considering the latter's acting credentials on popular Pakistani television serials and relative newcomer Abbas' raw magnetism even during our brief meeting, the two will no doubt stand out.On the difference in scale between television and film work, Ali said: "In the cinema, things are larger than life and you have to act accordingly. Credit goes to Asim. He always said, 'you have to act like a star'. He was very confident in all of us."Four weddings and a...Written by actor and film author, Imran Aslam, Raza credits the script for inspiring over six locations for scenes inParey Hut Loveincluding many around Pakistan and items in Istanbul, Turkey. He made clear it is somewhat unfair, however, to draw the comparison between this plot and that of British romantic comedyFour Weddings And A Funeral(1994) as has been reported."Inspirations had to be taken," Raza said. "A lot of classic films were in Imran's head. This movie has four weddings, so it ended up sounding similar. When you watch the film you realise that is the only similarity. The character arcs are different. The story is very different." One aspect viewers will certainly find distinctive is the number of cameosParey Hut Loveboasts. Mahira Khan, Meera, Fawad Khan and Sonya Jehan are just a few names we can expect to pop up."Within the same film I got to romance Maya Ali and Mahira Khan and share screen space with Meera. It was both scary and entertaining," Munawar said."It was very important those small scenes should be done by people who make the most of them. Every sentence in the film should make sense and that's why having big names in small scenes works," Raza added.A leap forwardAfter touching on the issue of how the Pakistan film industry is faring in today's climate, Raza returned to the issue of balance. Just as he has to counter audience expectations with his creative vision, so too financial issues must be taken into account."It can be a struggle between commercial and substantive cinema," he said. "You are always reminded about the commercial aspect because film is expensive. A lot of investment goes into it. We have such little outlets for our cinema, we are not always able to do our things our way and break even." Our outlook forParey Hut Love: they have done it their way and will more than recoup their outlay.Asim's take on the Pakistani cinema landscape"There are constant hiccups, but it is pretty steady. We are lucky that every few months a new person comes in and it is their turn. If we keep supporting each other instead of cutting each other down, this is how an industry is created."Which famous actor turned down a part?"Only one," was the answer director Asim Raza gave when asked if anyone had ever declined a role in any of his projects. Such is the filmmaker's draw it was assumed Raza only had to pick up the phone to have actors queuing round the block to appear in his movie. "Humayun Saeed. I asked him to do a small part in this film," he elaborated, eliciting cries of disbelief.A message from Sheheryar"It's a present for Eid.

HACER QUE LA CIENCIA SIRVA AL PUEBLO
Este artículo (1) es una traducción del original hecha por los autores de este blog. El original es un artículo de Eugene Dardenn, un escritor habitual de la página socialistworker.org. Aquí el autor analiza la historia del grupo de científicos Science for the People (SftP) y su lucha contra los que trataron de poner la ciencia al servicio de la profundización de la opresión. El título original del texto es Making science serve the people. En la traducción hemos incorporado referencias que el autor no había enlazado directamente y las hemos reunido todas en un apartado final de referencias.
El artículo está escrito al calor de la marcha por la ciencia del 21 de abril de 2017 que reunió manifestaciones en muchas ciudades importantes de occidente en contra de las políticas anticientíficas de Donald Trump.
TRADUCCIÓN
"El concepto de calentamiento global fue creado por y para los chinos, para hacer no competitiva la fabricación en Estados Unidos".
Donald Trump
Stephen Jay Gould hablando de ciencia y justicia social en una entrevista a fines de los 70
La presidencia [de los Estados Unidos] está en manos de alguien que niega la realidad de la ciencia climática, y por eso es apropiado que una parte de la resistencia [a Trump] sea la Marcha por la Ciencia de este próximo fin de semana en Washington, DC, y alrededor de todos los Estados Unidos. La ciencia puede demostrar que Trump y sus cheerleaders de los medios derechistas están vendiendo noticias falsas, pero tiene más que ofrecer. Los líderes del Partido Demócrata aceptan la realidad del calentamiento global, pero creen que el consumismo responsable junto con una diplomacia prudente ahorrará a las generaciones futuras una catástrofe climática irreversible. Insisten en que las políticas climáticas deben ser "prácticas", y así bajo Bill Clinton y Barack Obama, tenemos créditos de carbono y un empuje para bombillas de bajo consumo y LEED-certified buildings [del U.S. Green Building Council]. En su opinión, la realidad del cambio climático será otro problema a ser resuelto por el libre mercado y el Departamento de Estado. Durante más de 20 años, estas "soluciones" a la crisis climática no han logrado detener el aumento de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero que causan el calentamiento global y mucho menos invertirlas. Se podría concluir que la política ha sido el problema.
La ciencia ha hecho su parte identificando el calentamiento global y advirtiendo sobre sus consecuencias, y la política traicionó su responsabilidad de hacer algo al respecto. Pero dividir, de este modo, la ciencia y la política concede a los políticos y burócratas el mismo escenario que a la ciencia; aquel donde la ciencia podría servir a la sociedad. En los años setenta y ochenta, una organización dio una idea de cómo la gente podía poner la ciencia al servicio de la justicia social: Science for the People (SftP). Esta organización, y los movimientos de los que formó parte, hicieron más para promover un uso racional y justo de la ciencia en la sociedad que cualquier cosa que Al Gore pudiera soñar.
En 1969, el Harvard Educational Review publicó el artículo de Arthur Jensen titulado How Much Can We Boost I.Q. and Achievement? [¿Cuánto podemos impulsar I.Q. y el éxito?]. Este artículo argumentaba que el 80% de la inteligencia era hereditaria y que las desigualdades sociales podían explicarse por desigualdades genéticas (2). Argumentaciones como esta sobre la supremacía biológica de este, o aquel grupo, no son nada nuevo en la política estadounidense. Jensen estaba actualizando los viejos argumentos racistas de la eugenesia con una nueva pátina de pseudociencia al argumentar que los esfuerzos educativos suplementarios como el programa federal Head Start son inútiles. Afortunadamente, Jensen se enfrentó a la oposición decidida de Science for the People. Durante los siguientes 20 años, el SftP, tanto la organización, como una revista mensual con el mismo nombre, libraron la guerra contra Jensen y los reaccionarios que le siguieron.
Bajo la tutela de la Universidad de Harvard Edward O. Wilson, y el recién bautizado campo de la sociobiología, pretendía pulir la eugenia más cruda y el determinismo biológico de Jensen y los "darwinistas sociales" anteriores. Pero al igual que Jensen, Wilson se mantuvo a la defensiva cuando los activistas de SftP expusieron su trabajo [el trabajo de Wilson] en servicio al establishment político e incluso lo confrontaron personalmente cuando lo presentó. Casi todos los números de Science for the People contenían una contribución a la polémica, y la rama de de la organización de la ciudad de Ann Arbor organizó un grupo de trabajo que publicó el importante libro Biology as a Social Weapon (3). Los miembros más conocidos de SftP, Stephen Jay Gould y Richard Lewontin, fueron actores centrales en el debate, y sus escritos siguen siendo la mejor crítica de las explicaciones eugenésicas sobre de la desigualdad social. Lewontin fue pionero en los estudios ampliamente citados demostrando que existe una mayor variabilidad genética dentro de las razas que entre ellas. Y The Mismeasure of Man (4) de Gould es el golpe definitivo a la política de educación basada en IQ.
Lo revolucionario de su enfoque fue que, en lugar de dejar la evidencia abierta a la interpretación, los autores de SftP siempre expusieron la otra versión [su interpretación y la contraria] con una explicación política. Como escribió Lewontin en su introducción a la biología como arma social:
“Todavía hay ricos y pobres, poderosos y débiles, tanto dentro como entre las naciones. ¿Cómo se explica esto?
Podemos suponer que las desigualdades son estructurales, que la sociedad (…) tiene la desigualdad incorporada en ella, e incluso, que depende de esa desigualdad para su funcionamiento. Pero esa suposición, si se toma en serio, engendraría (…) una revolución. La alternativa es afirmar que las desigualdades residen en las propiedades de los individuos más que en la estructura de las relaciones sociales. Esta vía afirma que nuestra sociedad ha producido tanta igualdad como es humanamente posible, y que las diferencias restantes en el estatus, la riqueza y el poder son las manifestaciones inevitables de las desigualdades naturales en las habilidades individuales (…).
Esta visión no amenaza el status quo, sino que, por el contrario, lo apoya diciendo a aquellos que no tienen poder que su posición es el resultado inevitable de sus propias deficiencias innatas y que, por lo tanto, no se puede hacer nada al respecto.”
Uno siente escalofríos al imaginar las consecuencias de dejar la batalla del determinismo biológico a los demócratas "realistas" en lugar del movimiento de los derechos de las Mujeres y el black power, apoyados por científicos radicales. Por su parte, Jensen es recordado por el Southern Poverty Law Center como "el padre del racismo académico". Pero si no fuera por los esfuerzos de SftP, podría ser conocido hoy como un respetado psicólogo evolutivo.
La historia de la lucha de Science for the People's contra el determinismo biológico es instructiva hoy en día, al menos, por tres razones. Por un lado, debemos recordar que un argumento científico que goza de mucho menos consenso que el que la ciencia del cambio climático, no sólo fue capaz de influir en la opinión pública, sino de defender los logros de los movimientos sociales y los derechos humanos. Imagine el impacto de una contribución similar hoy en día por parte de los climatólogos que llevan su mensaje directamente al movimiento ambiental y a las comunidades, ambas en primera línea de batalla contra el cambio climático. En segundo lugar, la experiencia de SftP en la lucha contra la eugenesia es útil porque el mismo debate ha vuelto [varios ejemplos recientes los podemoss encontrar en un artículo de Steven Rose, traducido al castellano por Viento Sur (5)]. Los movimientos sociales de los años sesenta y setenta retrocedieron ante las ideas más deplorables de la derecha para recuperar cualquier divisa. La desaparición de organizaciones y publicaciones como Science for the People a finales de la década de 1980 corresponde con el resurgimiento de ideas como las de Jensen.
Charles Murray, escribió en 1994 The Bell Curve (co-escrito con el compañero racista y objetivo habitual del SftP, Richard Herrnstein), un libro que relanzó el mismo debate que Jensen había desencadenado una generación antes. En esta última ronda, Murray y Herrnstein afirmaban que los genes podían explicar entre el 40 y el 80 por ciento de la inteligencia cognitiva (en comparación con la cifra de 80 por ciento de Jensen en 1969). La gran diferencia fue que para 1994, no había una izquierda de masas capaz de exponer, ni mucho menos combatir y desalojar, el discurso racista en la raíz de esta "ciencia" [de los noventa]. Así que mientras Murray se enfrentaba a muchas protestas por la publicación del libro [en el ámbito académico], no había una campaña consistente para desafiarlo [en la sociedad civil]. Otras dos décadas después, la notoriedad [negativa] de Charles Murray ha ido perdiéndose en el pasado, y los medios de comunicación lo tratan como una víctima mal entendida y perseguida de los adalides de la "corrección política" y la intolerancia en los campus universitarios. Pero la izquierda no debe rehuir el debate ante los argumentos sobre la "libertad de expresión" o la "libertad académica" cínicamente expresados en defensa de Murray por los administradores de la universidad y los comentaristas de los medios de comunicación. Science for the People mostró que era posible luchar y ganar la lucha contra el determinismo biológico por medio de una lucha argumental sostenida en el tiempo y mediante vínculos con los movimientos sociales. Que cualquier viejo racista con un “contrato de libros” [contrato con una editorial para editar un libro] tenga derecho a un honorario es una idea que sólo podría ganar tracción en la estela de la decadencia de Science for the People y de la izquierda en general.
Una tercera lección de Science for the People y su campaña contra el darwinismo social es que, cuando los activistas están armados con la ciencia, su solidaridad puede ser más significativa. Por ejemplo, el SftP siempre disputó el papel de la eugenesia en la lucha para ampliar el acceso al aborto. Dos artículos de Linda Gordon publicados en 1977 (6-7) explicaron cómo la generación anterior de defensores del control de la natalidad fue dirigida por Margaret Sanger que se situaba muy lejos del feminismo y profundamente dentro del campo de la eugenesia:
“Los hombres que dominaron el movimiento socialista (en los años veinte y treinta) no percibieron el control de la natalidad como fundamental para sus propios intereses, y su teoría lo clasificó como una reforma periférica a la lucha de la clase obrera. Los eugenetistas, por otra parte, una vez que se aferraron a la idea de impulsar el control de la natalidad sobre los pobres en lugar de condenarlo entre los ricos, estaban dispuestos a ofrecer un apoyo activo y poderoso”.
Como es siempre el caso, la debilidad de la izquierda se convirtió en la fuerza de la derecha: se concatenaron décadas de política de control poblacional, con campañas de esterilización racista y “opciones” anticonceptivas centradas en la familia que salvaguardaban muy poco a los menos privilegiados. Como todo el trabajo de SftP, los artículos de Linda Gordon proporcionaron, tanto la ciencia para desmentir el derecha, como la política para guiar a la izquierda. En la crónica de la historia del movimiento de control de la natalidad, Gordon rastreó su cambio hacia la derecha del movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres. Lo empujó hacia a la eugenesia por medio de la orientación "profesional" de médicos y clínicos. Cualquiera que esté actualmente involucrado en el debate del movimiento de control de la natalidad sobre cómo defender el acceso al aborto, haría bien en leer las piezas de Gordon y aprender cómo Science for the People llevó a cabo argumentos similares hace 40 años [similares a los que hoy en día se defienden en el son de este movimiento].
El determinismo biológico no fue el único objetivo de SftP. Durante 20 años de organización y publicaciones, la organización emprendió la guerra contra todo tipo de opresión y cualquier "ciencia" alineada en la defensa de la misma. Este ejemplo muestra cómo los científicos radicales, al servicio de los movimientos sociales y armados con el marxismo, pueden contribuir a la comprensión del sistema en que vivimos (salario y ganancia, un argumento para ampliar la definición de la sociedad de los derechos humanos) y proporcionar lecciones históricas críticas.

Hyperallergic: An Omnivorous Tour of the 2017 Whitney Biennial
Installation view of the 2017 Whitney Biennial with Pope.L’s “Claim (Whitney Version)” (2017), an installation that includes 2,755 slices of bologna (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic)
The 2017 Whitney Biennial, the institution’s first since its move to the Meatpacking District, opens to the public later this week, but already the buzz is positive.Gathering works by a modest 63 artists on the museum’s vast fifth and sixth floors (along with installations in conference rooms, terraces, the lobby, stairwell, and off-site at the Lower Manhattan Arts Academy), the exhibition feelsmuch, much less daunting than recent Biennials held in the Breuer building, which often seemedoverstuffed and cramped. Credit is largely due to co-curators Christopher Y. Lew and Mia Locks, who give the work (and visitors) room to breathe and, for the most part, have given participating artists their own alcoves, galleries, or space for large-scale installations. This Whitney Biennial feels airy, which is a first in recent memory.
But it’s also saturated with recurring themes and formal motifs.At Monday’s preview, some of the most immediately apparent trends included an exceptionally strong showing by the Biennial’s painters (including Carrie Moyer and Aliza Nisenbaum)and a relative plethora of works dealing with social justice and institutional critique (including Cameron Rowland and the Occupy Museums collective). There are eye-popping installations (by Samara Golden, Raúl de Nieves, and Ajay Kurian), transporting video works (by Anicka Yi and the Postcommodity collective, among others), and works that channel the current socio-political climate of frustrationand outrage(including by Henry Taylor,Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, and An-My Lê). Though we’ll have a proper review in time for the public opening, here’s a taste of what’s in store at the 2017 Whitney Biennial.

Some Indian Banks Are Still ‘Arbitrarily’ Refusing to Process Crypto Transactions
Earlier this month, India’s Supreme Court delivered its verdict in a landmark case that promised to usher in a bullish era for cryptocurrency in the country.
The Court ruled to overturn a circular from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) — issued back in April 2018 — which had banned banks’ services to all crypto-related firms.
Not all banks, however, appear to be complying with the ruling.
On March 12, fintech lawyer Mohammed Danish filed a representation with the central bank against the “arbitrary denial” of certain domestic banks to provide services in support of the sale or purchase of crypto assets.
Together with Kashif Raza, Danish is co-founder of the Indian crypto regulatory news and analysis platform Crypto Kanoon, and specializes in litigation and advisory services for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Banks’ grounds for refusal holds no validity
RBI’s April 2018 prohibition had directed all its regulated entities not to deal in cryptocurrencies or provide services to any individual or company dealing with the asset class.
This ban was set aside by the Supreme Court “in its entirety,” Danish stated, and yet several cases have been reported where banks are continuing to decline to process crypto-related transactions — including HDFC and IndusInd Bank. Danish writes:
“In most of the cases, the banks have not given any written communication but verbally informed their customers that they are waiting for RBI notification in this regard.”
Danish adds that “it is pertinent to note” that, following its pro-crypto ruling on March 3, the Supreme Court gave no specific direction to RBI to notify banks and request their compliance with the Court’s order.
Yet given the unanimous ruling against RBI by three bench justices, Danish writes:
“Banks’ refusal to provide services for the sale/purchase of crypto assets is absolutely illegal, unjust and arbitrary in the eyes of the law and the same amounts to wilful disobedience to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.”
RBI’s regulated entities must comply with the court order and provide banking services impartially as they provide them for all other legitimate transactions, Danish adds.
The letter requests that RBI issues official communication to all banks as soon as possible to ensure their compliance with the law.
Reasons for RBI’s dither and delay
RBI’s lack of coordination with institutions under its authority could be explained by reports that it is, in fact, planning to appeal the court’s ruling.
On March 6, just days after the judgment, a report from India’s The Economic Times cited unnamed sources with apparent knowledge of the matter, who claimed that RBI planned to file a review petition against the court’s quashing of its circular.
Moreover, it remains to be seen whether the Indian government will act to introduce a bill that had been postponed during parliament’s 2019 winter session, which would potentially impose a blanket ban on the use of crypto in India.

Some Indian Banks Are Still ‘Arbitrarily’ Refusing to Process Crypto Transactions
Earlier this month, India’s Supreme Court delivered its verdict in a landmark case that promised to usher in a bullish era for cryptocurrency in the country.
The Court ruled to overturn a circular from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) — issued back in April 2018 — which had banned banks’ services to all crypto-related firms.
Not all banks, however, appear to be complying with the ruling.
On March 12, fintech lawyer Mohammed Danish filed a representation with the central bank against the “arbitrary denial” of certain domestic banks to provide services in support of the sale or purchase of crypto assets.
Together with Kashif Raza, Danish is co-founder of the Indian crypto regulatory news and analysis platform Crypto Kanoon, and specializes in litigation and advisory services for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Banks’ grounds for refusal holds no validity
RBI’s April 2018 prohibition had directed all its regulated entities not to deal in cryptocurrencies or provide services to any individual or company dealing with the asset class.
This ban was set aside by the Supreme Court “in its entirety,” Danish stated, and yet several cases have been reported where banks are continuing to decline to process crypto-related transactions — including HDFC and IndusInd Bank. Danish writes:
“In most of the cases, the banks have not given any written communication but verbally informed their customers that they are waiting for RBI notification in this regard.”
Danish adds that “it is pertinent to note” that, following its pro-crypto ruling on March 3, the Supreme Court gave no specific direction to RBI to notify banks and request their compliance with the Court’s order.
Yet given the unanimous ruling against RBI by three bench justices, Danish writes:
“Banks’ refusal to provide services for the sale/purchase of crypto assets is absolutely illegal, unjust and arbitrary in the eyes of the law and the same amounts to wilful disobedience to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.”
RBI’s regulated entities must comply with the court order and provide banking services impartially as they provide them for all other legitimate transactions, Danish adds.
The letter requests that RBI issues official communication to all banks as soon as possible to ensure their compliance with the law.
Reasons for RBI’s dither and delay
RBI’s lack of coordination with institutions under its authority could be explained by reports that it is, in fact, planning to appeal the court’s ruling.
On March 6, just days after the judgment, a report from India’s The Economic Times cited unnamed sources with apparent knowledge of the matter, who claimed that RBI planned to file a review petition against the court’s quashing of its circular.
Moreover, it remains to be seen whether the Indian government will act to introduce a bill that had been postponed during parliament’s 2019 winter session, which would potentially impose a blanket ban on the use of crypto in India.

Akshay Kumar starrer Good Newwz lands in legal soup; NGO claims it shows IVF centres in bad light : Bollywood News
New Post has been published on https://viraljournalist.com/akshay-kumar-starrer-good-newwz-lands-in-legal-soup-ngo-claims-it-shows-ivf-centres-in-bad-light-bollywood-news/
Akshay Kumar starrer Good Newwz lands in legal soup; NGO claims it shows IVF centres in bad light : Bollywood News
Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kiara Advani have got good reviews for Good Newwz ahead of its theatrical release. However, the film has now landed into a legal soup. A Public Interest Litigation(PIL) has been filed in the Karnataka High Court seeking a stay by a Mir Sameem Raza, President of a Mysuru-based NGO called Yes Trust. Reportedly, the vacation bench of the high court is likely to hear the petition on the day of its release which is on December 27.
The PIL claims that the movie is misdirecting people, making people question the credibility of IVF centers and the makers are portraying how there is a higher chance of semen mix-up in IVF cases. A part of the petition reads, “The movie is about two childless couples, who come for IVF treatment, and the sperms get exchanged. This is bound to create a lot of confusion and uncertainty about the credibility of IVF treatment itself. As childless couples are already under immense social and psychological pressure, this may further cause emotional disturbance for them.”
In the movie, they show an IVF company of the name Indira IVF. The petition claims that such a clinic is already in business and it gives out a wrong impression. The petitioner has also named the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) as a respondent.
Meanwhile, Good Newwz is directed by Raj Mehta and co-produced by Karan Johar.

FACEBOOK BANS ALL SPEECH THAT PRAISES THE WHITE CULTURE
Facebook Bans All Speech that Praises the White Culture
Celebrating your ethnic heritage on Facebook is completely acceptable and within the confines of free speech and the First Amendment – just so long as you don’t have white skin, of course.
The deep state owned-and-operated social media platform recently announced that any content on its platform that says anything positive specifically about white people or white heritage is now banned – the Mark Zuckerberg-controlled megalith insisting that such content “cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organized hate groups.”
In an official blog post, Facebook clearly stated that other people “will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage,” but that Facebook will “not tolerate praise or support for white nationalism or separatism.”
“Over the past three months our conversations with members of civil society and academics who are experts in race relations around the world have confirmed that white nationalism and separatism cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organized hate groups,” Facebook announced.
“Our own review of hate figures and organizations – as defined by our Dangerous Individuals & Organizations policy – further revealed the overlap between white nationalism and separatism and white supremacy,” the company added.
While Facebook did further state that “while [sic] people will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage” – “while,” in this case, being an obvious misspelling for what should have been the word “white” – there are no clear guidelines as to what white people who use Facebook will be allowed to write and share, so as to not fall under the “white nationalism” banner of banned content.
Fact: “Diversity” is an NWO Doublespeak Trick to Destroy the White Race
Celebrating one’s “whiteness” is now considered an unacceptable “ideology,” according to Facebook
Overtly racist groups like “The New Black Panther Party,” an anti-white hate organization run by black supremacists, are still allowed to spew whatever they wish on Facebook – as are anti-white hate organizations like “La Raza!” that are run by Hispanics. But white people are no longer afforded even basic free speech rights on Facebook, let alone the freedom to operate equivalent online “supremacy” groups to these others.
What this all proves, of course, is that Zuckerberg and Co. are no longer even trying to hide their deeply-rooted hatred for people of Caucasian and European heritage, who are now being relegated to the back of the digital bus. White people are now second-class citizens when it comes to their online free speech rights, in other words.
The group, “It’s okay to be white,” for instance, which simply celebrates the unique nature of being white and expresses nothing even close to the vile hatred spread by “The New Black Panther Party” and “La Raza!” is no longer allowed on Facebook because it’s considered to be intolerable “white supremacy.”
Before “It’s okay to be white” was pulled from Facebook’s platform, it was reportedly 258,000 members strong.
“Banning all ‘white identity’ because of violent acts done in its name is like saying we should ban all Muslims because of ISIS,” wrote political commenter Jeff Giesea in a Twitter post about this blatant hypocrisy and overt discrimination against white people.
“This is dumb and counter-productive,” he added. “Is talking about ‘white people issues’ now forbidden? How long can we sustain today’s asymmetry in identity politics?”
“Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam (Black American Muslim sect) are both ethnic separatist movements,” commented another Twitter user named Ali Alexander, pointing out that Facebook is selectively targeting only white separatist groups.
“Non-violent and I disagree with them, but there’s no reason to no platform (sic) white or black separatists/segregationists,” he added. “It’s an idea … I’m deeply troubled by this decision.”

Feds Punishing Immigrants For Working At Legal Pot Jobs: Denver
DENVER, CO – An obscure "morality clause" used by federal immigration officials is crushing the dreams of immigrants who work in Colorado’s legal marijuana industry by denying their their applications to become naturalized U.S. citizens, the City of Denver said.
Legal immigrants in Denver are facing "renewed hostility" from the feds a statement from Mayor Michael B. Hancock and Denver Excise and Licenses Executive Director Ashley Kilroy said.
On Wednesday, city officials met with two Denver immigrants who were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that they were ineligible for naturalization strictly because of their "past or current employment in the cannabis industry," the city said in a press release. The immigrants – one from El Salvador, the other from Lithuania – have each been permanent residents in the U.S. for more than 20 years.
"They have both graduated from Colorado schools, paid their taxes and consider Colorado their home," the city said.
City Attorney Kristin M. Bronson released a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr, sent Wednesday condemning the Trump administration’s "latest attack on immigrants." the city is seeking guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to ensure "consistent implementation and enforcement of state marijuana laws" in more than 30 U.S. states, the letter said.
"Denver understands the need for federal laws and regulations regarding citizenship and immigration, but we are seeing the heartbreaking effects that those federal laws and regulations are having on our residents," Mayor Hancock said in a statement. "However, under current federal policy, lawful, permanent residents like the Denver residents I have met with are being denied naturalization and may lose their legal status based on their lawful employment in the cannabis industry."
"It was definitely like getting sucker punched," immigrant Oswaldo Barrientos told Mayor Hancock, as reported in a statement. "I thought I was a shoo-in. I’ve been here long enough. I’ve paid my dues."
Lawyers told Denver staff that immigrations officials are essentially "trapping immigrants into openly admitting to felonious activities under federal law, thus putting them at risk of detention and deportation should they travel abroad and later return to the U.S." the city said.
USCIS Public Affairs Officer Debbie Cannon released a statement from the agency:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is required to adjudicate cases based on federal law. Individuals who commit federal controlled substance violations face potential immigration consequences under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which applies to all aliens regardless of the state or jurisdiction in which they reside.Marijuana remains illegal under federal law regardless of any actions to decriminalize its possession, use or sale at the state and local level, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has not issued any policy exempting the INA’s prohibitions on marijuana violations in locations where marijuana is legal under local laws.
Until the federal laws are changed, Denver staff are warning immigrants who want to seek citizenship of the risk under federal law of working in Colorado’s legal cannabis industry.
On Denver 8 TV, the City will begin airing a PSA originally produced in a collaborative effort by Servicios de La Raza and Marijuana Industry Group (MIG) roughly a year ago that warns noncitizens of the risk of possessing, consuming, selling or growing marijuana under federal law.
"I’m sorry about what’s happening to you," Mayor Hancock told the immigrants in a statement. "This is horrible."
This story has been updated to include a statement from USCIS.

How a Bitcoin Exchange Is Surviving a Central Bank Crackdown in India
Indian regulators’ clampdown on cryptocurrency businesses is forcing the exchange startup Unocoin to experiment with stablecoins and ATMs to continue receiving fiat deposits from customers.
Unocoin co-founder Sunny Ray told CoinDesk his company hasn’t been able to transact through regular banking channels with its 1.3 million customers for several months, after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) banned banks from working with crypto or crypto companies in April.
Most recently, Unocoin set up an ATM in a Bangalore mall where customers can deposit rupees to their exchange accounts without a bank or credit card.In the coming weeks, Unocoin will open a few more ATMs in Mumbai and Delhi.
“We’re essentially employing bank-grade ATM machines,” Ray said.
Also, some users are quickly transferring their rupees to the ethereum-based TrueUSD token, which Unocoin began supporting in August, then using it to purchase bitcoin or other assets down the line when the price feels right. As a so-called stablecoin, TrueUSD is designed to maintain parity with the U.S. dollar.
For customers outside Bangalore, support for stablecoins may provide an indirect way to add or hold value in their Unocoin accounts without quite as much volatility, albeit it falls short of a fiat on-ramp. However, that transaction volume is still less than a few thousand TUSD per day.
“We never even considered that [stablecoins] before,” Ray said. “That’s more just like a stop-gap solution. It’s not like an actual, final solution to everything.”
As Unocoin investigates how to scale compliant ATMs, Ray said the team is also looking to expand to Malta and Canada, in case operating in India becomes impossible altogether, all while exploring the options for listing several new stablecoins.
Stepping back, an ongoing legal battle to overturn or alter this ban hasn’t yielded any results to date. Meanwhile, the ban is having a disastrous impact on India’s crypto community, with the popular exchange startup Zebpay abruptly shutting down late last month.
As Kashif Raza, a co-founder of Crypto Kanoon, an Indian regulatory news startup, told CoinDesk:
“The crypto community is suffering from this ban as there have been instances where the bank accounts of individuals have been closed who were found to be dealing in cryptocurrencies.”
The crackdown has been so severe that Raza said it has created a misconception in India that bitcoin itself is outlawed, even though the ban only applies to entities governed by RBI.
“From a regulatory perspective there hasn’t been any real clarity,” Ray said. “We as a company are working on a couple of solutions.”
Silver lining
None of this should imply that Indian crypto startups are now operating in a black market. To the contrary, Raza said exchange accounts can sometimes require more know-your-customer (KYC) paperwork than opening a new Indian bank account. Many see the ban as an inconvenient pause, not a death knell.
“Given the fact that the Indian government seems to be in favor of the technology behind virtual currencies, the crypto community is quite hopeful that [banking crypto companies] will be regulated in future,” Raza said.
Plus, Unocoin’s ATMs allow for regulation-conscious investors like Karthik Reddy of Blume Ventures, who praised the new ATMs in a press statement, to keep detailed records of their crypto portfolios while still depositing fiat currency as needed.
On the other hand, the ban has certainly invigorated peer-to-peer trading. Indeed, the P2P exchange WazirX reached a new daily trading volume peak of 50 BTC in September 2018. At the same time, the global P2P exchange LocalBitcoins reached nearly $1.5 million in weekly Indian trading volume at least three times since August.
And there’s even silver lining for Unocoin,which has seen up to 500 new account registrations every day ever since Zebpay closed its doors.
“It’s almost kind of freeing in a way because there are a lot of people in India that don’t have online banking,” Ray said. “Almost everybody in India uses cash, so it might in an odd way open us up to an even bigger market.”
Still, speaking to how restricting crypto companies that seek to serve a country of 1.3 billion could affect global adoption, Ray concluded:
“Innovation is being squashed in a country where one in seven people live.”

DIY Moving Mistakes

Top Three Mistakes People Make When Deciding to Hire a Professional Mover
Buying your dream house can be exciting, but the process from moving to your new home can be very daunting. While moving your things by yourself is possible, people often underestimate the tasks at hand.As was mentioned on The Moving Blog, we highlight here three major mistakes people make when deciding on whether or not to hire professional movers:
(As first seen on: https://ift.tt/1oTFBg8)
DIY mistakes #1: “Professional movers are too expensive!”
It’s a common misconception to assume that professional relocation services are always much costlier than organizing and executing a Do-It-Yourself house move. The truth is that it’s very hard, and even unfair, to make general comparisons due to the fact that the moving price is formed on a case-by-case basis. In other words, because of the great number of additional factors that affect the final moving price, no two house moves will cost the same even if they seem extremely similar.
If you’re moving in the same town and city, you do not have to pack many things, and you do not have much heavy things, it is possible to do it by yourself. However if you are going out of state and would have lots of furniture, a professional and experienced mover is definitely advisable.
In the end, you realize that doing things by yourself can be more expensive than hiring a professional and experienced mover.
Mistake #2: “It’s easy to move my stuff!”
Image Credit
Let’s get straight to the point: packing up a house for a move is not just another task you need to mark as checked before Moving day comes around. No matter how you look at it, packing is the most important job during your pre-move preparations and failure to approach it with the urgency and dedication it requires could easily become one of the most serious mistakes when moving yourself.
To avoid costly mistakes when packing your home by yourself, you must be familiar with and follow these 5 fundamental Do-It-Yourself packing rules:
~Start thinking about packing up your home as soon as you know for sure that you’re moving to a new home. Or on the next day at the latest. It’s easy to underestimate the staggering amount of time that packing up for a move requires, and it’s even easier to switch into a procrastination mode. Trust us – just don’t it.
~Unless you really wish to lose extra valuable time and waste even more valuable money, don’t even think about packing all of your earthy possessions without sorting them out first. Make a detailed home inventory to help you slim down the number of your belongings prior to the move.
~Create a packing calendar to introduce discipline and order into your packing process. Start the process from the premises that are the hardest ones to sort and pack – storage rooms and the kitchen.
~Safety is a real concern when moving home yourself, and especially when you’re packing on your own. Safety both for you and for your prized possessions. So, the first step to ensuring nothing bad happens is to get hold of quality packing supplies.
~Packing up an entire home is a challenge that cannot be usually dealt with by only one person. To avoid falling behind schedule, ask your good friends to lend you a hand, or even better – if you can afford it, hire professional packers to finish the job several times faster and several times safer.
Mistake #3: “My family and friends can always help me out.”
One thing you should do at all costs when moving on your own is to explore your self-moving options as far as they can go. Of all the self-move mistakes to avoid, the costliest error you can ultimately make is to underestimate the complexity of the upcoming relocation, and therefore only think you’ve got all the bases covered.
As mentioned above, a self-move is not the right time to attempt to prove to yourself that you can manage all the tasks without assistance of any kind. If you can’t afford to let professional packers and movers take care of the toughest relocation stages for you, then you will most definitely need to reach out to your friends and ask them for help.
On the contrary, they will probably be dealing with complicated work schedules, previous commitments and other responsibilities, so
~contact them as early as you possibly can to maximize your chances of positive answers;~it’s best to ask them for help face in face, if possible;~don’t try to underplay the amount of work they are expected to help out with, but be a straight shooter from the start;~show understanding to the ones who cannot lend you helping hand for one reason or another;~prepare and organize in advance whatever you can yourself to save your friends much valued time and efforts; and~remember to show your enormous gratitude and reward their sacrifice in a way that you seem to be the most appropriate and memorable.
These aforementioned mistakes can always be avoided with proper planning. First off, research the mover that you want to entrust your belongings to. Are they licensed? Are customers happy with their services?
Another important factor is to make an inventory of your things before you start moving. You don’t want to end up forgetting and losing your precious things in the process.Moving should be a fun and exciting activity—it shouldn’t drag you down!Avoid the three biggest mistaken assumptions mentioned above: “Hiring a professional mover is too expensive,”“It’s easy to move my stuff,” and “My family and friends can always help me out.” These are all big misassumptions and falling for them can end up with more bills and headaches for you.
There are many moving companies you can contact, but be sure to contact a trusted one with the best reviews. If you want a trusted mover to help you out ask Devon MovingCompany! Call us today and get your free moving quote!

Digital Marketing Strategies That Are Still Ignored By Experts
Are you looking for digital marketing strategies? Maybe you’re new to online marketing, or perhaps you are just looking to step up your game. Either way, here are 6 digital marketing strategies to improve your digital marketing skills.
Social Media
Social media is an incredibly popular and ever-evolving platform. From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram, social media is all around us and serves various purposes. One of the best purposes it can serve to someone looking to market to consumers?
Advertising and introducing products. It has been found that if social media is a part of a consumer’s path to them using a product, then consumers convert at a 129% higher rate than if social media was not used (Rare Staff, 2018). In addition to this, customers are four times more likely to buy from a brand that uses social media than one that does not.
An amazing example of social media marketing done right can be seen if you look at Arby’s social media rebranding in 2016. By engaging the interests of the public while still displaying and advertising their product, Arby’s has increased by over a million likes on Facebook since 2016 and have 3 million active followers of their Facebook page.
This kind of engagement drives up revenue and sales all over the world, catching the attention of consumers online (McFadden, 2016). All of this and only using one simple tool. In the short 280 character limit of Twitter, a quick post or ad on Facebook or a picture on Instagram could drive up sales for your company.
Videos: Podcasts and Live Videos
It’s needless to say that videos have been a part of marketing for years now. From advertisements on television to promotions through movies or you tubers, videos are heavily featured in marketing. But what are some new and interesting ways to use them?
In today’s culture, one popular method is podcasting. Podcasting, while commonly audio, can include filming members of your company (perhaps even yourself) as you sit down and talk about topics for the week (or month, depending on how frequent you would like to make these podcasts).
These podcasts could be specific to your company as you go through new products, remind viewers of old ones, or talk about ways to use them. You could also talk about more general topics, for example: a movie company may review current movies while a laptop company may talk about the latest innovations and discussions presented at the CES this year. Whatever your company may be, there are plenty of topics you could fill your podcasts with (Goldman, 2018).
But, maybe a long podcast isn’t your company’s kind of thing. Then consider looking into live videos on social media platforms like Facebook. These live videos notify followers when you go live and can bring an exciting and engaging feature to your digital marketing, allowing consumers to ask questions as you reveal a new product, check out demonstrations and get a more personal feeling to the videos they watch for your company. So if you’re looking to spice up your video marketing, live video is a great place to start.
Mobile Marketing
Mobile marketing has a variety of meanings. The two main focal points of mobile marketing are these: Mobile Apps and Mobile Websites. First, websites since their creation have been intended for internet browsers on desktops.
However, with phones and tablets ever-growing popularity in digital markets, it is important to incorporate better ways to interact with consumers on mobile devices. This means that it has become incredibly important to have a mobile website available for customers.
One of the biggest mistakes companies make is assuming their website designed for desktops will translate fine on a cell phone or tablet. The problem with this is how coding for websites works. In traditional HTML, the spacing of the website is based on how it will load on larger screens, like a 1024 pixels by 768 pixels screens.
However, the average phone has a must smaller screen that is larger vertically than it is horizontally. This is problematic when the coding of a website fails to place pictures or text where it is supposed to be and can make a website not optimized for mobile usage look tacky or unprofessional to the mobile consumer. It’s best to prevent this by designing and incorporating a mobile website into your company to prevent any distaste from consumers.
Prioritize Blogging
Increasing in popularity, blogging has been a great asset to companies to increase outreach and get better flow through websites. As blogs attract consumers, soon you will find the money spent on blogging will return to you as search engines increase the traffic flowing through your websites and blogs.
Statistics show that marketers that blog are 13 times more likely to get a positive return on investments. In addition, 67 percent more leads are generated for blogging than for companies not blogging (Goldman, 2018).
And before you completely shoot down this method of digital marketing, look to the website you are on right now. What brought you here? The need for SEO help, or this blog post?
Prioritize your customers
Customers are everything. Regardless of whether you are a legal firm or an essential oils company, companies can’t exist without customers. While you can spend time focusing on polishing and rebranding your marketing strategies, it’s important to remember the most important part of marketing.
Keeping the customers you already have before driving them away in favor of new ones. Loyal consumers will be of great benefit to your company in the long run. So, while you may find it appealing to buy that Facebook ad or spend money producing an ad for television, don’t forget to make your company active and engaging with its current consumers.
Send out emails and offers, give them special perks for staying engaged with your company. Don’t neglect the one thing that is most important to any brand: the customers.
Analytics and Tools
Finally, take advantage of the analytics and tools at your disposal. Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics are only some of the wide variety of tools which are at your disposal as digital marketers. Look at these to see what is best at engaging consumers.
Check out your Facebook analytics to see what posts worked best at enticing consumers and then look to replicate these posts as you continue to build your company to greater heights in the digital world. Whether you enjoy doing so or not, looking at your company’s digital analytics will give you an edge that you need in today’s digital age.
If you’re tempted to skip it or investigate it later, just remember that your competition is likely using analytics already, so you need to stay on top of the game (Bullas, 2017). Digital Analytics is the way of the future.

To stay relevant, art curators must keep up with the rapid pace of technological innovation as well as the aesthetic tastes of fickle critics and an ever-expanding circle of cultural arbiters. Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance argues that, despite these daily pressures, good curating work also requires more theoretical attention.
The four thematic sections the book covers, are entitled Forms of thinking in contemporary curating/Curating and theInterdisciplinary: Encounter, context, Experience/The role of the curator: Contestation and consideration/ Emergent Practices: Subverting theMuseum.
Throughout the book, a distinguished group of contributors consider curation in light of interdisciplinary and emerging practices, examine conceptions of curation as intervention and contestation, and explore curation’s potential to act as a reconsideration of conventional museum spaces. Against the backdrop of cutting-edge developments in electronic art, art/science collaboration, non-gallery spaces, and virtual fields, contributors propose new approaches to curating and new ways of fostering critical inquiry. Now in paperback, this volume is an essential read for scholars, curators, and art enthusiasts alike.

Pakistani Ex-Spy Chief Faces Inquiry Over Book With Indian Counterpart
NEW DELHI — At a packed house for the release of the book “The Spy Chronicles” in New Delhi last week, the former Pakistani intelligence chief who is co-author of the book jokingly thanked India’s government for denying him a visa to attend the event.
“By denying me the visa, they saved me from the wrath of our hawks at home,” Asad Durrani, a retired lieutenant general who led Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, in the early 1990s, said in videotaped remarks sent to the audience in New Delhi from Pakistan.
Image
Pakistan’s former spy chief Asad Durrani wrote “The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace” with A.S. Dulat, the former chief of India’s intelligence arm.
That was wishful thinking.
On Monday, Pakistan’s military barred the former intelligence chief from leaving the country and ordered an investigation into whether he violated the military’s code of conduct by writing the book. If charged, Mr. Durrani could face jail time.
Mr. Durrani wrote “The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace” with A. S. Dulat, the former chief of India’s intelligence arm, the Research and Analysis Wing, or RAW. They were India’s and Pakistan’s top spy chiefs while both countries, archrivals that have fought four wars since independence, raced to become nuclear powers.
The book is set as a dialogue between the former chiefs, where they expound on topics like the American raid to capture Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and whether the presidency of Donald Trump is good for their countries.
In Mr. Durrani’s opening remarks by video chat last week, he described the book as an effort to get India and Pakistan talking again, to forge peaceful solutions to the seemingly intractable conflicts that consume the nuclear-armed countries.
On Monday, the spokesman for Pakistan’s Army, Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor, said that Mr. Durrani had been placed on an “exit control list” and that a court of inquiry, headed by a three-star general, would investigate whether the spy chief had violated the military’s code of conduct.
Mr. Dulat said of his co-author’s predicament: “This is very, very unfortunate.”
“What we said in this book was that madness in between India and Pakistan should end,” he added. “But I think madness in Pakistan needs to end first.”
Both former spy chiefs have continued to be part of back-channel diplomatic meetings between India and Pakistan.
Although the book was released in India last week, it is still not available in Pakistan, but has gone viral in a PDF format shared over WhatsApp.
The views Mr. Durrani espouses in the book have raised eyebrows in Pakistan, criticizing both civilian leaders and the military, revered inside the country.
The former intelligence chief claims in the book that the Pakistani military knew ahead of the 2011 United States raid to capture and kill bin Laden and had received a payment for its cooperation, while feigning surprise. Pakistan’s official stance — and the Americans’ — has been that Pakistani officials learned of the raid only after it took place.

“For political reasons, I said it will not go down well in Pakistan that we cooperated with the United States to eliminate someone many Pakistanis considered a hero,” Mr. Durrani said of the raid on bin Laden’s compound, explaining why he thought the government denied prior knowledge of the operation.
Other statements made by Mr. Durrani include Pakistan’s role in fomenting popular unrest in Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan region that is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan. Officially, Pakistan has always maintained that it supports the population in Kashmir morally and diplomatically and denies any role in the armed, anti-India insurgency in the disputed region.
India, however, has directly accused Pakistani military intelligence of long supporting militancy in Kashmir and the attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba militants that killed more than 200 people in Mumbai in 2008.
While Mr. Durrani has received sympathy in India for the scrutiny he now faces, in Pakistan, he has been criticized.
Several Pakistani civilian leaders have questioned Mr. Durrani’s actions and statements attributed in the book. Raza Rabbani, an influential opposition senator, said during a Senate session last week that any civilian teaming up with an Indian would have been quickly branded as a traitor.
“It is shocking that on one hand Pakistan and India relations are at an all-time low and on the other hand, former spy chiefs of both the countries are teaming up to write a book,” Mr. Rabbani said.
Adeeb Z. Safvi, a retired Pakistani Navy captain and defense analyst, said Mr. Durrani had shunned protocol by publishing the book without getting it reviewed by security services first, as is the custom with many countries, including the United States.
It is rare for former powerful generals to be held accountable or questioned for their actions. Mr. Durrani also served as the director general of military intelligence and retired in 1993, but he has remained active in public life, having later served as Pakistan’s ambassador to Germany and to Saudi Arabia as well.
For many Pakistanis, Mr. Durrani’s chumminess with his Indian counterpart was as problematic as his views.
At the book release event in New Delhi last week, Mr. Durrani referred to more peaceful times, before the countries were partitioned in 1947.
“In the good old days, I could have crossed, but I don’t think I’ll take the chance,” he said with a smile on his face.
The audience, which included Manmohan Singh, India’s former prime minister, chuckled. When the video of his prepared remarks was over, the audience clapped thunderously.
The Court of Inquiry’s proceedings will be closed to the public. It was not immediately clear how long would the inquiry take.

Mr. Durrani wrote “The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace” with A. S. Dulat, the former chief of India’s intelligence arm, the Research and Analysis Wing, or RAW. They were India’s and Pakistan’s top spy chiefs while both countries, archrivals that have fought four wars since independence, raced to become nuclear powers.
The book is set as a dialogue between the former chiefs, where they expound on topics like the American raid to capture Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and whether the presidency of Donald Trump is good for their countries.
In Mr. Durrani’s opening remarks by video chat last week, he described the book as an effort to get India and Pakistan talking again, to forge peaceful solutions to the seemingly intractable conflicts that consume the nuclear-armed countries.
On Monday, the spokesman for Pakistan’s Army, Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor, said that Mr. Durrani had been placed on an “exit control list” and that a court of inquiry, headed by a three-star general, would investigate whether the spy chief had violated the military’s code of conduct.
Mr. Dulat said of his co-author’s predicament: “This is very, very unfortunate.”
“What we said in this book was that madness in between India and Pakistan should end,” he added. “But I think madness in Pakistan needs to end first.”
Both former spy chiefs have continued to be part of back-channel diplomatic meetings between India and Pakistan.
Although the book was released in India last week, it is still not available in Pakistan, but has gone viral in a PDF format shared over WhatsApp.
The views Mr. Durrani espouses in the book have raised eyebrows in Pakistan, criticizing both civilian leaders and the military, revered inside the country.
The former intelligence chief claims in the book that the Pakistani military knew ahead of the 2011 United States raid to capture and kill bin Laden and had received a payment for its cooperation, while feigning surprise. Pakistan’s official stance — and the Americans’ — has been that Pakistani officials learned of the raid only after it took place.

“For political reasons, I said it will not go down well in Pakistan that we cooperated with the United States to eliminate someone many Pakistanis considered a hero,” Mr. Durrani said of the raid on bin Laden’s compound, explaining why he thought the government denied prior knowledge of the operation.
Other statements made by Mr. Durrani include Pakistan’s role in fomenting popular unrest in Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan region that is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan. Officially, Pakistan has always maintained that it supports the population in Kashmir morally and diplomatically and denies any role in the armed, anti-India insurgency in the disputed region.
India, however, has directly accused Pakistani military intelligence of long supporting militancy in Kashmir and the attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba militants that killed more than 200 people in Mumbai in 2008.
While Mr. Durrani has received sympathy in India for the scrutiny he now faces, in Pakistan, he has been criticized.
Several Pakistani civilian leaders have questioned Mr. Durrani’s actions and statements attributed in the book. Raza Rabbani, an influential opposition senator, said during a Senate session last week that any civilian teaming up with an Indian would have been quickly branded as a traitor.
“It is shocking that on one hand Pakistan and India relations are at an all-time low and on the other hand, former spy chiefs of both the countries are teaming up to write a book,” Mr. Rabbani said.
Adeeb Z. Safvi, a retired Pakistani Navy captain and defense analyst, said Mr. Durrani had shunned protocol by publishing the book without getting it reviewed by security services first, as is the custom with many countries, including the United States.
It is rare for former powerful generals to be held accountable or questioned for their actions. Mr. Durrani also served as the director general of military intelligence and retired in 1993, but he has remained active in public life, having later served as Pakistan’s ambassador to Germany and to Saudi Arabia as well.
For many Pakistanis, Mr. Durrani’s chumminess with his Indian counterpart was as problematic as his views.
At the book release event in New Delhi last week, Mr. Durrani referred to more peaceful times, before the countries were partitioned in 1947.
“In the good old days, I could have crossed, but I don’t think I’ll take the chance,” he said with a smile on his face.
The audience, which included Manmohan Singh, India’s former prime minister, chuckled. When the video of his prepared remarks was over, the audience clapped thunderously.
The Court of Inquiry’s proceedings will be closed to the public. It was not immediately clear how long would the inquiry take.

Hyperallergic: Ways to Talk About Latin American and Latino Art
Raphael Montañez Ortiz, “Archaeological Find #22: The Aftermath” (Hallazgo arqueológico n 2: resultados) (1961), destroyed sofa (wood, cotton, vegetable fiber, wire, and glue) on wooden backing (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic)
LOS ANGELES — If you’ve been driving through Los Angeles recently, you might’ve noticed some curious ads plastered around the city. “There will be struggle. There will be art,” reads one. “There will be dissonance. There will be art,” reads another. They advertise the more than 75 exhibitions on Latin American and Latino art spread across the city and other areas of Southern California. Together they are a part of Pacific Standard Time (PST), an initiative founded by the Getty to encourage art institutions across Los Angeles to collaborate every few years on one theme. The first, in 2011, was centered on art in LA from 1945 to 1980 and the second,in 2013, on modern architecture in the city. The third installment, known as PST: LA/LA, which opened this September and runs through January, is by far the most ambitious and definitely the most generously funded — to the tune of $16.3 million, to be exact.
So why the focus on Latino and Latin American art? According to Deborah Marrow, director of the Getty Foundation, it took them and their partners — the Hammer Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the UCLA Department ofChicana/oStudies, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) — almost a year to settle on the topic. Marrow explained there was both a “historical” and “contemporary” reason for their decision. “We were, in our origins, part of Latin America,” Marrow said, pointing to how this heritage in LA is still palpable.“In the last census, which was 2010, nearly half the population of LA identified themselves as Latino or Latin American. And many people think that was underrepresented.”
And it mostly was — at least at the major art institutions. Chon Noriega, the director of the Chicana/oStudies program at UCLA and an adjunct curator at LACMA, affirms that over the past five decades, the big museums in the city have dedicated very few exhibitions to Latin American and Latino art. “But, if you look at the full range of exhibitions from galleries to community-based spaces,” he said, “you see a large amount in terms of numbers.” Some of these spaces are participating under the umbrella of PST, including the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC), Self-Help Graphics & Art, and Plaza de la Raza.
The PST: LA/LA programming has been celebrated, in both its advertisement materials and by art critics, as broadening our world view and tearing down walls. “A Celebration Beyond Borders,” reads one of its slogans.New York Times critic Holland Cotter says the exhibitions share a goal: to “build bridges over borders and pull those damn walls down.” This kind of language feels hyperbolic and slightly opportunistic given the current political climate. I get the same sense when, back in the car, I look upat those PST ads: “There will be differing opinions. There will be art.” “There will be challenged perceptions. There will be art.” “There will be anger. There will be art.” It’s not to say the exhibitions do not contain or offer these things, but the narrative somehow feels convenient, and somewhat stereotypical and patronizing — playing into the image of a passionate, rebellious people — all while highlighting that these shows offer something ‘different.’
La Raza staff, “La Raza photographer documents police abuse” (circa 1970) (image courtesy the photographers and the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. © La Raza staff photographers)
Of course, a program like this shows a necessary openness and scholarly commitment to other cultures and it’s true that the exhibitions do feel scarily poignant at a time when wall prototypes are being constructed at the US-Mexico border and Latin American and Latino populations are being targeted for deportation in this country.La Raza, at the Autry Museum, is one exhibition that feels particularly relevant. Through the articles and photographs published in a local Chicano newspaper, the show traces the Chicano Rights movement of the late 1960s and ’70s.Until recently, the LA Unified School District had not approved the exhibition for field trips, expressing concern over the violent images of police brutality. Thankfully, according to the Autry Museum’s Communications department, the school district just changed its mind.
So while the exhibitions are inspiring at least a few uncomfortable conversations, a five-month art program won’t fulfill some utopian ideal, or suddenly make the Latino community feel included in happy La La Land.I am not saying this to be cynical or because the programming isn’t good — it’s excellent — but I want to foreground a discussion that has mostly been tucked toward the very end of critical reviews of LA:LA, perhaps because they don’t want to shoot down what is a valuable, well-intended, and vital contribution. Yet, in order to make an initiative like this truly worthwhile, we need to hold these same institutions accountable after the programming is over. To actually collapse those divisions and borders, museums will have to undergo structural change and hire, for starters, more Latin American and Latino curators (as of now, the majority of curators at LA’s largest art institutions is white, though that is not a problem particular to the city).
PST, at its best, is an auspicious start. It doesn’t make the world go round and bring harmonious bliss, but it does accomplish a lot else. Unlike the ads and grander narratives being drawn from the program, the exhibitions themselves resist stereotypes and easy narratives, and tackle Latin American and Latino art as complex topics.
According toMarrow, “Latin America” was a hotly debated term at one of the panels held in the process of organizingLA:LA. “Everyone on the panel was critical of using the term to cover so many time periods, places,” Marrow said. Indeed, the relevance and meaning of “Latin America” shifts across exhibitions, which range in focus fromthe ancient Americas to the Japanese immigrant community in Latin American countries, to artists who were born in Latin America but spent most of their working lives outside the region. “But, in the end,” Marrow continued in regard to the term, “they all agreed it was handy, and so we use it.”
A few years ago, I interviewed Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro, the director of theColección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, one of the most acclaimed collections of Latin Americanmodern, contemporary, and colonial art. We spoke about the increased visibility of Latin American art in the US and how institutions are choosing to frame it. “There’s this whole debate about what is Latin American art, the separatist position and integrationist position,” he said, referring to the tendency to either isolate Latin American art as its own category or incorporate it into a larger global discourse. Institutions will often take the former approach, creating, for instance, a Latin American art wing at a museum.Pérez-Barreiro, who is on the integrationist side, owed this divide in approach to a“tension between a very sophisticated curatorial debate and institutional politics.”
LA:LAwould seem to suffer from this problem — by its very nature, it isolates Latin American and Latino art as their own categories. But with over 75 exhibitions, you won’t come away with a neat definition of either. In fact, some of the strongest exhibitions share an underlying theme: that a sense of place and belonging is a slippery, changeable thing.
Installation view of Home — So Different, So Appealing at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) with Leyla Cárdenas, “Excision” (Extracción) (2012) at center
Among these is the outstanding exhibitionHome — So Different, So Appealingthat was formerly at LACMA and is now traveling to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.According to co-curator Chon Noriega, before organizing the exhibition with Pilar Tompkins Rivas and Mari Carmen Ramírez, they asked themselves:“How do we get out of theconundrum of a category that is in some ways defined by its exclusion from art history?” In the end, they decided to “not focus energies on defending the category, and showing the artwork how it exists more broadly in the world.”
To feel less confined by a premise, they wrote on a sheet of paper the artworks that have remained with them over the years. And they realized they all had to do with the notion of home.
The result is a stunning display, where home is at turns haunting, oppressive, and even unattainable. Houses are fragile and precarious, as in Leyla Cárdenas‘s “Excision (Extracción)” (2012), where she took a cross section of a room from a historical 1886 Bogotá home that has since been demolished. The chair and desk are sliced in half and bits of wall delicately hang; the barely intact room alludes to the country’s short-term memory, particularly when it comes to its violent past and present.
León Ferrari, “Bairro” (Neighborhood) (Barrio) (1980), diazotype on wove paper
Life is often so burdened by violent structures that one can’t even escape them in the privacy of one’s own home. Living during Argentina’s Dirty War of 1976 to 1983, Léon Ferrari obsessively drew a plan of a neighborhood, calling it “a sort of quotidian madness that is necessary for everything to appear normal.” Home, in other words, is never strictly of one’s own making.
Other artworks in Homefeel, as Noriega put it, somewhat more “universal.” In Carmen Argote‘s “720 Sq. Ft: Household Mutations” (2010), she tore the carpet out of thehome she grew up in and installed it along the gallery floor and running up the wall like a sculpture. The fabric, stained and used over time, is a poetic memorial to childhood.

Looming overHome, and otherLA:LAexhibitions, is the promise of a better life in the US.At theJapanese American National Museum, Taro Zorrilla‘s moving video “Dream House” (2007) documents the surreal reality of the Mexican village of Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, which is inhabited predominantly by women, children, and the elderly. Each year, thousands of mentravel to the US to send dollars back to their families, and mainly for one express purpose: to build the type of big, beautiful house associated with the American Dream. The families inIxmiquilpan move ahead with construction, but often the houses are left uninhabited and the families are rarely reunited.
Taro Zorrilla, “DREAM HOUSE” (2010), mixed media installation (collage-maquette)
Zorrillo’s video opens Transpacific Borderlands: The Art of Japanese Diaspora in Lima, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo, an exhibition centered on the experience of Japanese immigrants across these diverse cities. Included is the Japanese-Mexican sculptor Kiyoto Ota, known for his alienating, life-size sculptures of houses that evoke his empty, lonely family home in Japan. Here, he has installed awooden, nest-like sculpture that he likens to his mother’s womb. Elsewhere, Olga Moriyama presents her ceramic plates that appear incised with a language composed of squares.A caption accompanies each plate, such as:“I tell people that I don’t have a homeland. I’m Mexican but they insist that I’m Japanese. I feel Japanese, but Japan is not my homeland.”
Kiyoto Ota, “El Nido” (2007), red wood
What and where is home? The question pops up again in the Brazilian artist Valeska Soares‘s solo exhibition,Any Moment Now, at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Throughout the museum, Soares has gathered and created a taxonomy for domestic objects, from a collection of antique glasses, to perfume bottles, to foot stools.This obsession with serializing reminds me of a video by María Teresa Hincapié on view inHome, in which she arranges her belongings in concentric squares. Both artists at once treat objects with care and detachment; over time, through the cataloguing process, the objects become deeply lonely. In an accompanying text, Hincapié writes: “the dresses laid out. the black ones close to me … the bags are alone. the pencils are alone … everything is alone. we are all alone … a pile of coffee. a bunch of things.”
Valeska Soares, “Finale” (2013), antique table, 151 antique glasses, five pitchers, three decanters, liquor and mirror
Walking throughAny Moment Now, you encounter hard marble pillows laid about the floor, 500 books about love stacked tightly on a shelf, a ghostly glass chair, and headboards detached from their beds. We cannot sit in these chairs, or read these books, or sleep in these beds; the objects in this largely uninhabitable house seem lost, distant, or out of place.
Curator Júlia Rebouças writes that “displacement” is “both circumstance and essence” in Soares’s art. The artist, who is Brazilian but has lived in New York for 25 years, “is ambivalent about belonging to either of these countries,” Rebouças continues.
Valeska Soares, “Et Après (Pillow)” (2012), hand-carved marble
While these shows are just a small fraction of what there is to see inPST:LA/LA, they feel emblematic of a larger, resounding point:that one’s geography or nationality is just a slice of one’s identity, and that to try to sum up Latin American or Latino art is of no real use or service. When you step into the personal worlds of these artists, yes, there will be struggle and dissonance, but there will also be many shared rooms and views.
Valeska Soares, “Love Stories IV (Collections V, VI, VII, VIII)” (2008), 500 printed and bound books, wooden shelves
Luis Camnitzer, “Living Room (Sala de estar)” (1968) (detail), vinyl
Oscar Oiwa, “Crowd” (2010), oil on canvas
PST: LA/LA continues through January. See here for a complete schedule of exhibitions and events.

ADA Works with NFL Players, etc., to Promote Diabetes Alert Day 2017
New Post has been published on http://type2diabetestreatment.net/diabetes-mellitus/ada-works-with-nfl-players-etc-to-promote-diabetes-alert-day-2017/
ADA Works with NFL Players, etc., to Promote Diabetes Alert Day 2017
Today, it's once again Diabetes Alert Day.
No, we're not talking about being alerted to big advocacy issues like insulin affordability or healthcare access, but rather the annual type 2-focused public awareness day held every fourth Tuesday in March by the American Diabetes Association. This campaign is now marking its 29th year, and once again is largely centered on getting people to take what's known as the Diabetes Risk Test.
Those of us already living with diabetes (either type) often find it hard to get enthusiastic about a special D-Alert Day, given that we're already living it daily.
That being said, the reality is that prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are spreading at epidemic proportions -- not just in the United States, but worldwide. As our friends at the DiaTribe Foundation have described it, there's a #DiabetesAvalanche out there that needs more discussion and awareness, so in that spirit we have to appreciate the ADA's annual Diabetes Alert Day.
This year, the organization has announced a strategic partnership with the National Football Players Association (NFLPA) to bring a new level of visibility and excitement to the program. Here's what ADA spokeswoman Michelle Kirkwood tells us.
Q&A on Diabetes Alert Day Efforts
DM) What’s new for D-Alert Day 2017 that differs from past years?
ADA) This year, we are bringing the Alert Day focus and participation back to the original Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test (as last year was more focused on prediabetes).
In January 2016, we joined with the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to establish a national prediabetes awareness campaign with the Ad Council. Together, our organizations created a series of PSAs and digital properties to increase awareness of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes risk among high-risk American adults. The main call to action was to take the Association’s prediabetes risk test -- rebranded as the Prediabetes Risk Test -- and then, if the test indicates you are at high risk, to follow up with your doctor and enroll in the National Diabetes Prevention Program to make lifestyle changes.
Last year, we strategically aligned our national Alert Day plans and messaging with what was then our brand-new Ad Council campaign. Our collaboration with the Ad Council, AMA and CDC continues nationwide through the end of this year.
Can you share more about the new 'strategic partners' the ADA has for this year’s D-Alert Day?
To help increase awareness of the prevalence and risks for type 2 diabetes, we have collaborated with two strategic partners this year -
Quest Diagnostics Health & Wellness is our 2017 national Alert Day sponsor and is providing employer-based biometric screenings -- including blood glucose tests -- nationwide. Committed to helping prevent and delay type 2 diabetes, Quest will share the risk test with its 43,000 employees and employer clients and will donate $1 to the Association for each biometric wellness screening completed between March 28 and April 27, 2017, up to $200,000.
Prince Hall Shriners is a national fraternal organization dedicated to educating the African-American community about type 2 diabetes that will be distributing risk test posters to barber shops and beauty salons in states with existing Prince Hall Shriners chapters around the country. African-Americans are nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as white adults, and nearly 30 percent of diabetes in African-Americans goes undiagnosed.
We're also leveraging partnerships with other national organizations such as the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), Japanese-American Citizen League, and minority health groups. This year we’ve really tried to think past our traditional avenues for sharing information about Alert Day, and are excited about our potential opportunities.
The NFL Players Association brings a 'cool factor' for sure. Can you tell us more about that collaboration?
We've been working with them for a year now on a Team Tackle initiative that brings together 45 current, former and upcoming professional football players – representing all 32 professional teams in the country – to call national attention to diabetes. The primary activity in 2016 was our Capitol Hill Advocacy Day, and a number of the players participated in our camps and signature events throughout 2016. But Team Tackle was not involved in Alert Day last year.
We're excited to have Team Tackle back again participating in 2017 Call to Congress and this year, incorporating Team Tackle into the Association’s icon days, such as Diabetes Alert Day. Additionally, the Team Tackle roster is continuing to grow and we have added at least 20 players since Capitol Hill Advocacy Day last year.
While the partnership will support all people affected by diabetes, a large focus of the NFLPA partnership is on type 2 prevention and management. A campaign with Team Tackle and supported by the NFLPA throughout 2017 will be promoting the Risk Test.
What exactly will the two organizations be doing together to raise awareness and provide education or resources to the public?
Elements of the partnership include:
Collaborating on on-going prevention education campaigns, such as Diabetes Alert Day
Engaging Team Tackle in the Association's community events
ADA participation in NFLPA's Health Awareness Month and providing on-going diabetes education to NFLPA members
Can you tell us a little more about how the NFLPA is involved in advocating to Congress on diabetes?
The ADA's Call to Congress program on capitol hill provides one important avenue for this partnership to raise awareness.
On Thursday March 30, the Association will host a press conference featuring diabetes advocates, health care providers and two U.S. Senators to raise voices for the critical health care needs of people with diabetes. Immediately following the press conference, members of Team Tackle and advocates from around the country will meet with their members of Congress to discuss the dangerous consequences people with diabetes will face if the Affordable Care Act is repealed without a replacement that offers equal or greater coverage and protections for people with diabetes; support for research into treatment and potential cures for diabetes; and help to ensure access to affordable insulin.
This event will be held at the Dirksen Senate Office Building (SD562), from 9-10 a.m. Those attending will be:
Kevin L. Hagan, Chief Executive Officer, American Diabetes Association
William T. Cefalu, MD, Chief Scientific, Medical & Mission Officer, American Diabetes Association
LaShawn McIver, MD, MPH, Senior Vice President, Advocacy, American Diabetes Association
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Co-Chair of the Senate Diabetes Caucus
Senator Susan M. Collins, R-Maine, Co-Chair of the Senate Diabetes Caucus
George King, MD, Chief Scientific Officer, Joslin Diabetes Center at Harvard Medical School
Kyle Love, defensive tackle for the Carolina professional football team and Team Tackle member
Kathy Sego, advocate and mother
Liz Kennett, BSN, RN, CDE, certified diabetes nurse educator and advocate
Great to hear. How can individual PWDs around the country get involved in these efforts?
The Diabetes Community can get involved by continuing to support our collective efforts to raise awareness and elevate the conversation to the national forefront. As additional community events are scheduled, we will be sure to share those.
D-Alert Day Over the Years
So, that's the dealio for D-Alert Day 2017.
For those curious about how this awareness day's efforts have evolved through the years, you can see our past coverage here:
2016: Busy Moms, Bacon Lovers, and an interview with T1 D-peep and Diabetes Forecast editor Kelly Rawlings

Rob's Rundown: Week of March 6 - March 10, 2017

Portman Opposes Congressional Review Act Proposal to Repeal Bipartisan Education Accountability Measures
U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) announced on Monday that he opposes efforts to repeal the Department of Education’s regulation on accountability and reporting in state plans as implemented through the bipartisan Every Child Succeeds Act (ESSA):
“I do not support repealing the regulation requiring states to provide parents with accurate information on how their students are performing, which will help ensure our schools are accountable for results. These measures balance state flexibility while reinforcing protections for students of color, students with disabilities, and students from low-income families. We must do more to provide a better education for all students, including those who have been traditionally underserved. We have a role to play in helping ensure these children achieve their God-given potential and I urge my colleagues to join me in preserving these protections for students who have too often been marginalized and forgotten.”
NOTE: There is widespread support for preserving these education accountability measures, including from The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, NAACP, National Council of La Raza, National Center for Learning Disabilities, National Disability Rights Network, National Down Syndrome Congress, National Indian Education Association, Alliance for Excellent Education, Easterseals, Teach for America, Association of University Centers on Disabilities, Children's Defense Fund, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
GOP Senators Say House Health Care Draft Lacks Key Protections for Medicaid Expansion Population
Senators Portman, Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) outlining concerns that the February 10th draft health care plan from the House does not adequately protect individuals and families in Medicaid expansion programs or provide necessary flexibility for states.
In the letter, the senators write: “While we support efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and make structural reforms to the Medicaid program, we are concerned that the February 10th draft proposal from the House of Representatives does not provide stability and certainty for individuals and families in Medicaid expansion programs or the necessary flexibility for states.”
The full letter can be found here.
Portman Shares Stories from Ohio, Urges Action on the STOP Act to Help Combat the Opioid Epidemic
Portman continues to tour the state meeting with those in recovery and those on the front lines working to turn the tide of the heroin and prescription drug epidemic. Monday night, on the Senate floor, he shared stories from his recent visits and urged his colleagues to act on the bipartisan Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention (STOP), legislation he introduced earlier this year. At Racing for Recovery in Holland, during a roundtable in Fremont, in a workshop in Columbus, and just this weekend at Clean Acre Farms in Wilmington, Portman saw firsthand why this legislation is needed. Portman also discussed how his bipartisan Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA), legislation that is now being implemented, is helping tackle this epidemic.

Portman Leads Letter Urging Trump Administration to Protect Jewish Community Centers
Portman and Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) led a letter of all of their bipartisan Senate colleagues in sending a letter to urge Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and FBI Director James Comey to take action in response to the recent anonymous bomb threats made against Jewish Community Centers (JCCs), Jewish Day Schools, and Synagogues in Ohio and across the country.
“These cowardly acts aim to create an atmosphere of fear and disrupt the important programs and services offered by JCCs to everyone in the communities they serve, including in our states,” wrote the Senators in the letter. “We are concerned that the number of incidents is accelerating and failure to address and deter these threats will place innocent people at risk and threaten the financial viability of JCCs, many of which are institutions in their communities.”
“We encourage you to communicate with individual JCCs, the JCC Association of North America, Jewish Day Schools, Synagogues and other Jewish community institutions regarding victim assistance, grant opportunities or other federal assistance that may be available to enhance security measures and improve preparedness,” continued the Senators. “We also recognize the anti-Semitic sentiment behind this spate of threats and encourage your Departments to continue to inform state and local law enforcement organizations of their obligations under the Hate Crime Statistics Act and other federal laws.”
All 100 members of the U.S. Senate signed the letter. It is supported by a wide range of groups, including the American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League, Jewish Community Center Association of North America, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Orthodox Union, Jewish Federations of North America and Union for Reform Judaism.
Full text of the letter is available here.

Portman Secures Commitment from Homeland Security Deputy Nominee to Help Confront Bomb Threats, Tackle Drug Epidemic
During the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on the nomination of Elaine Duke for the position of Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Portman discussed the need for DHS to play a more active role in investigating the recent spate of bomb threats to religious centers including Jewish Community Centers around Ohio and in preventing the flow of drugs into our country. Duke committed to Portman, who led a letter signed by all 100 Senators urging the Trump administration to protect Jewish Community Centers, that she and DHS would work to do more to combat these threats. She also committed to Portman, author of the bipartisan Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention (STOP), that she will work with Congress to develop ways to stop the influx of drugs coming into our communities from overseas. Portman asked similar questions of General John Kelly, then the nominee to be DHS Secretary, on the need to prevent the flow of drugs coming into our country.
Excerpts of the questioning can be found here and a full video can be found here

Portman Statement on Meeting with Vice President Pence & HHS Secretary Price on Health Care
Portman issued the following statement after meeting with Vice President Mike Pence and Health & Human Services Secretary Tom Price about health care Thursday morning:
“I was pleased to meet with Vice President Pence and Secretary Price about health care. We all share the goal of repealing and replacing ObamaCare with a better plan that will lower health care costs for all Americans. I appreciated the opportunity to address my concerns about our Medicaid expansion population in Ohio. As I have said before, I support making structural improvements to the Medicaid program, but we must provide stability and certainty for individuals and families in Medicaid expansion programs and real flexibility for states. I will continue to work with the administration and my colleagues to address these concerns.”

Portman, Brown Invite Ohioans to Apply for Nomination to U.S. Service Academies
Senators Portman and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) on Friday encouraged Ohioans interested in 2018 admission to U.S. Military Service Academies to apply to each senator’s office for a congressional nomination.
“I am particularly honored as a United States Senator to have the privilege every year of nominating a number of Ohio’s top young achievers for entry into one of our nation’s service academies,” said Portman.“Our nation has never had to look further than the Buckeye State to find those individuals who exhibit the sterling qualities of leadership, daring, and the sense of adventure needed to turn the biggest dreams into reality, and to rise to any occasion.”

Portman, Stabenow Lead Bipartisan Senate Great Lakes Task Force Letter Expressing Concern about Trump Administration’s Reported 97 Percent Cut to Great Lakes Funding
Senators Portman and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Co-Chairs of the Senate Great Lakes Task Force, today led a bipartisan letter to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt expressing concern about reports that the Trump Administration’s 2018 budget request will include a 97 percent cut to Great Lakes funding. Great Lakes Task Force Vice Chair Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Task Force members Richard Durbin (D-IL), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Al Franken (D-MN), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Gary Peters (D-MI) also signed the letter.
“As members of the Senate Great Lakes Task Force, we are writing to express our great concern about reports that the Environmental Protection Agency’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 budget might include drastic cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative program, which enjoys bipartisan and bicameral support,” the Senators wrote. “It is our understanding that an initial budget blueprint only included $10 million for the Initiative, which if accurate, would be 97 percent below the $300 million Congress appropriated in FY 2016 and in previous fiscal years.”
“As part of your confirmation hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, we were pleased by the clear support you expressed for the program in response to a question submitted for the record,” the Senators went on to say. “As you begin your tenure as EPA Administrator, we hope that you will continue to support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by fully funding this program in the upcoming budget request.”
The full text of the letter is available here.
