We believe that Governor All-

out of Texas because Governor
Allred has a National Guard in
this state that doesn't mind put-

Development of man from
the early primitive has been
remarkable—even though when
we read glaring headlines about
some strip tease disgracing lierj

mands for "stripping everything"
we get the idea that man may not
have progressed so much after

Recently I've been reading
about the Homo Neanderthal-
ensis, a man who for 10,000
years lived in the sub-artic
climate of Europe, and, dis-
pite his adverse weather con-
ditions, through the succeed-
ing 10,000 years developed
into a rather decent sort of a
fellow. He was unlike any
modern skull, having an in-
ferior mould with unique
structure. Some anthropolog-
ist today believe that he is
not extinct, that he has been
sent down to us through the
ages, but the records that are
generally accepted say that
has gone from our midst.
* * *
The peculiar thing about this
man is that the "survival of the
fittest" idea suggested by some of
our historians for the early man-
kind was his chief philosophy.
He had to live it. Maybe that's
why he is no more. He had to
contend with fighting bears, hy-
enas, and lions. In fact, he was
the true caveman, building his
lodges of bark, boughs, stone
blocks, and mud and turf.
* * *
A discription of this early
human being, known as Ho-
mo Neaderthalensis, is: His
brow, above the ridge, recedes
abruptly; lower part of face
projects not greater than our
negro, however; properly
speaking, he had 'no chin;
lower jaw receding inward
from his incisor teeth.
Anthropologists give us
many interesting things con-
cerning the pre-historic ages.
They can by gazing upon a
fragment of a skull, tell us
how far advanced in intelli-
gence he was.
# # *
But, maybe we don't think that
he was so dumb when at the St.
Louis exposition a negrito, one
of the few primitive tribesmen
living today, used iron pyritus to
start a fire in 58 seconds. Can
i you do it with a match?

A. Mr. President, in view of

Washington, above any other
town in the Union takes itself
.seriously, which is justified by the
circumstances that the rest of the
nation takes it seriously, also. All
work and no play is bad business,
and the papers of the Capital Ci-
ty may be excused for reminding
the land that the cherry blossom
festival will take place on the 8th
of April, an annua! fete drawing
tens of thousands to the District
of Columbia. When Japan sent
a small cargo of spindling saplings
to Washington a good many years
ago, the wise orientals may have
meant more than a superficial
and kindly gesture. Relations be-
tween Japan and the United
States may become strained some-
time, but the cherry trees will
keep right on growing and serve
as a reminder that differences
about battle ships, immigration,
and so on will pass.
• * *
While Washington is in-
dulging in Easter egg rolling
on the White House lawn,
looking forward to cherry
blossoms and doing other
things that are symptomatic
of spring fever, the Supreme
Court jolts the city back into
a realization of the truth that
it is the place where affairs
of great moment are likely
to happen almost any time.
The high tribunal has decided
recently that the states have
the right to set a minimum
wage, thereby overruling a
decision that it handed down
about fourteen years ago.
The fact that the court has
changed its mind has no bear-
ing on either side of the con-
troversy over making alter-
ations in the bench of last
resort, and attempts to found
political argument . pro and
con on the action of the court
make no strong appeal. There
was a day when suggesting
that the American colonies
should be free and indepen-
dent states was treason. Whis-
kers once more were popular
but are seldom seen in 1937.
Not many hoop skirts remain
in good working' order. The
Supreme Court has simply
exercised its right to change
its mind. The fact that it has
seen fit to change its mind
has no bearing on the ques-
tion as to whether or not the

The responsibility for the ex-
plosion in the Texas school, which
took so many lives, has been fix-
ed. An electric switch is to blame.
This is a welcome variant of the
usual findings when an accident
occurs. Generally there is a dead
man into whose pocket the buck
may be slipped. It would be a
mistake, however, to assume that
culpable negligence contributed
to the catastrophe. The defects
of the building, if any. may have
i sen of such nature that they
could have been discovered by
no responsible amount of care of
inspection. Beneath the feet at
every step there may be weakly
bridged chasms, the very exis-
tence of which is not suspected.

My favourite high end brand of makeup is Mac. I love so many of their products but the lipsticks are just the best. I currently have 7 and while writing this post I discovered I clearly am drawn to the nudes. I think that's probably because its quite hard to find a good nude lipstick. A lot of them come come out too pale and pasty. Some have horrible chalky textures. I am a big fan of the nude lipsticks from mac.
The first one I have is Jubilee. This is a lustre lipstick which feels so moisturizing and lovely. Its easy application is a huge selling point. Its probably the most natural colour I have, or at least its the one that matches my lip colour best. This is my everyday lipstick and I love it.
The next Mac lipstick I own is Honey-Love. It is very similar to Jubilee, in my opinion, but it is matte. This doesn't feel as nice on as Jubilee but it lasts better. This tends to be the lipstick I go to for a night out. This lipstick also goes really well with Mac's Boldly Bare lip pencil.
I also have the Creme lipstick Blankety Amplified. It looks much lighter when applied. I actually found this lipstick on Pinterest and then I had to buy it. It feels lovely on and I've gotten a lot of wear out of it all ready.
Rebel was the first Mac Lipstick I ever bought. It was also actually a mistake as I thought I was buying Cyber but now I absolutely love it. It is the most long lasting lipstick I have ever worn. Seriously, I've taken my makeup off after a night out and its still on the next morning. This isn't a shade I would wear day to day but it's perfect for a night out.
Candy Yum Yum is such a fun colour. It literally comes out as bright as it looks here on your lips. You can then either wear it full on for a night out or dab it on for a more muted look. Its a great colour and it really comes out so well you barely need to apply it for a pop of colour. I've also seen a lot of people using this as a base to do ombre lips which also looks great.
I also have the shade Cockney. In its tube it looks like it has a shimmer but on its more of a sheen. It's not a strong, vibrant red like YSL's Tension, it's one you can wear more casually. If you like red lips but feel some lipsticks are a bit much this lipstick is great.
The last Mac lipstick I currently have is Gel. This really reminds me of the Grecian look. It comes out about as gold as you see it below and is so pretty and shimmery. This was actually a present which is so great because its nothing like the lipsticks I would usually buy. Its nice to mix things up and try something new. I'm yet to find a good complimentary lip liner for it though.
Thanks for reading, this post feels like a long one!

Paul Haig - Something Good
Paul Haig - Something Good.mp3
This is one of my top-five songs of all-time, period. In fact, I would call it a triumph of human creativity, a spiritually profound work of art that has the capacity to evoke wonder at the miracle of simplicity and inspire personal change and growth beyond perhaps any other song I have ever heard. This, my friends, is the real deal. And it is just so damned simple. In fact, I think that perhaps the only better example of perfect simplicity in pop music history is Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. But other than that one incredible feat, Something Good is my personal favorite, amongst all the songs I've ever heard.
Paul Haig was the frontman for the legendary Glaswegian post-punk band Josef K before the band broke up and he began releasing solo records. His second solo album, The Warp of Pure Fun, is one of my two favorite albums of all-time, along with Psychocandy by fellow Scots The Jesus & Mary Chain. Something Good was released in 1989, the lead single for the LP Chain.
This song is magnificent. Life can be so confusing, so complex, but this song reduces it to something simple, moral, and good - something good. From the very first note, the crash of the cymbal, this song is mesmerizing, the bassline hooking you while the guitar expresses so much deep feeling, some sadness, some resignation. The song's lyrics are about a break up. The first verse:
Open the door
And leave behind the memories
This is for sure
Some things just had to be
And if you return
Then the sun will shine again
But I don't expect
That anything will ever be the same
There is a simple sense of acceptance here that I find very compelling. He states that "some things just had to be" and admits that it would be great if the person came back, but that he doesn't expect anything to be the same. It's refreshingly honest and provides a unique twist on typical love lyrics - something Paul Haig has excelled at throughout his entire career.
Then, the golden goose. "Take something bad...and make it into something good. Take all you had...just like the way I knew you would."
I'm going to say it again, just for emphasis: "Take something bad...and make it into something good." Is that not the simplest, most profound and beautiful thing you've ever heard? I mean, think about the way we approach our lives. Can't our thought processes about the directions we are headed be maddeningly complex? The human mind is indeed complicated, and we feel and think so much in response to what we see and experience. And in the case of something like a break up or other profound loss, the internal reactions can be very varied and intense. How wonderful, how refreshing, how beautiful, is it to hear "Take something bad...and make it into something good"? I mean, isn't that really all that we can do? Isn't that its own moral imperative, its own prime directive that if only we could all follow, we would be as happy as possible? Bad things happen. We suffer. We feel loss. It is part of life. But these things can all be made into something good. I know from experience that incredibly painful losses can be transformed into beautiful things, and that no suffering is needless. Sure, people can point to horrors far beyond that which most (including myself, certainly) have experienced, but I believe that they can be transformed too. And if only we could focus on each individual thing that happens, each tiny thing at once, one step at a time, and turn each bad thing into something good, something positive, life will work itself out.
The second verse continues:
And there is no time
And there is nowhere left to go
You give me a sign
A little thing that I should know
I read it in books
And I turned the page again
You got the looks
But nothing else will be the same
This verse is somewhat cryptic, but makes the greatest sense. It seems, to me, to be about accepting the need to move on, accepting that things end. And how better to do this than to live by the philosophy of "Take something bad and make it into something good"? If we really live by this, if we really believe that something bad can be transformed into something good, that an end can become a beginning, that pain can be turned to joy, then what do we have to fear? They have run out of time and places to go; nothing will be the same again. The final two lines are so beautiful too; the looks are the same, the same looks that can still spark the greatest desire, but what's inside has changed. But this is all said with such acceptance, such matter-of-factness. But it's still so human, so tender, so vulnerable - yet it's done with tremendous strength. "I read it in books, and I turned the page again." It's such a perfect reflection of the song's music; it's driving and strong yet so vulnerable and open. The pulsing bassline never ceases as it breathes like bare lungs, beats like a hand-held heart, and shows a resolve of concomitant fragility and impenetrability, for it is the heart that both makes us tender and gives us power; it is what makes us open to receiving others and able to give to ourselves despite them. This is the magic of the bassline, truly the heart of this gorgeous song.
And isn't this song just incredibly human for that reason? Whenever I listen to this, I feel like I am staring into the heart of humanity, both that of others and of myself. Yet this song goes beyond being human, and the heart that is revealed is the light of the soul; it is the soul's voice. Only from within the heart of the soul can love come, and only from within that same heart can come the resolve vocalized in this song, the desire to continue on despite pain. In fact, for me, it is when I ponder the idea of the soul, of the eternal, of that which is more than mere being, that I find the greatest ability to overcome pain and suffering, and to make something good from it. And isn't there a joy, an ecstasy, within the chorus? The synths rising from beneath our feet toward the sky, illuminating us from within, the words self-luminious and alive. It is ascension itself, the transcendence of time and being that leaves it behind yet grounds us firmly within it and its possibilities, revealing that the eternal, the sublime, is within even the simplest of things. Because for all the transcendent spirituality coursing through the song, isn't it profoundly simple? The "something bad" and the "something good" can be as grand as giving your life for that of another or as simple as finding you're out of the kind of ice cream you wanted and discovering a new one instead. And even in such a small act, isn't there a spiritual enrichment, a moral lesson? Learning to use pain, sorrow - the "something bad" - to create something good is the simplest thing I can think of, that which can be done in the blink of an eye, but whose effects can be felt echoing throughout our entire lives and indeed throughout the whole of the universe and the endlessness of our souls.
Paul Haig's "Something Good" is, perhaps more than any that I have ever heard, one that has changed my life for the better and has made me a better human being and a better soul, and I feel incredibly grateful that it has always been and will always be there for me whenever I need a reminder that there is a good to be found in every bad, if only we are willing to see and make it. This song has exapnded my consciousness and understanding of the beauty of the world and also helped me through some tough times, and I hope that you will enjoy it even half as much as I do, because then I will know that it has changed your life too. This is truly a song that makes even the stars themselves more beautiful.
Now that I think about it after having written this, this may just be my favorite song of all-time.

The Chemical Brothers - One Too Many Mornings
The Chemical Brothers - One Too Many Mornings.mp3
Now this, THIS is a really personal song for me. This song goes way back for me, all the way to my freshman year of high school, which was about 10 years ago. I once listened to this song over 100 times in a row in my room, and for years I really had literally every sound in the song memorized. And while many bands and songs I was into in high school no longer captivate me in the same way, this one absolutely still does, perhaps more so than any other. There is something so simple, so elegant, so beautiful about it.
You see, the reason I chose this song is because I had a very, very interesting and enlightening encounter this weekend with a significant setting from my past: Sarah Lawrence College. At the risk of this turning into nothing more than a blog writing about myself and only myself, I'll go into it because it relates to this song for me. I graduated in May of 2005, but this was the first real time I had been back while students were in session. I went twice this summer when no one was there just to see the campus and reflect on my time there, but this was different. Out of nowhere, I decided to visit some friends of mine (some of the maybe half a dozen people I still really know there), and stayed the night last night. The experience was one of the most eye-opening ones I have had in a long time, in addition to being very fun.
The big thing I finally, truly realized is just how SMALL everything about life at SLC is. The student body is small (1200 people or so), the campus is small, the food selection is small, the number of social events is small, the squirrels are small. Going there and seeing everyone holed up in their tiny rooms, working on their tiny laptops on their papers on microbiology really drove this home for me. You see, it's a shock after living in NYC (well, Queens) for over a year now, and hanging out there with people I knew in that small environment of SLC. There is so little there, but at the time (when I was a student), it felt like so much. You create your own little insular world there, with its own values, its own activities, its own mythologies, its own politics, its own social group, its own ethics. Because doesn't everyone have to feel like they have their place in the world? And isn't college a time for many where people try to define their niche?
But here's the thing about all this smallness: I finally understand more why I was who I was when I was there, why I valued what I valued and did what I did. I also realized why it's so good that I didn't get into drinking during college. But for me, seeing my old rooms and places where significant and/or poignant moments happened in terms of my relationships and friendships was really powerful this time around, because the realization of how different I am now hit me REALLY hard. And one of the biggest things is - and this is the most obvious thing ever, but it's hard to grasp sometimes - that the place keeps marching on without me, without my friends, without all the people I knew while I was there. That campus was defined by my friends and girlfriends and so forth, but now they're all gone. None of them remain, except a few people, none of whom were close friends at that point in my life. Yet the place goes on. I mean, DUH. But you know what I mean; it's surreal to see it continue. Now the exact same place, the exact same buildings, the exact same ground, is defined by an entirely different group of people, and it will never, ever be defined by anyone I know, ever again. Something about it seems so cruel, the way it keeps marching on without the slightest qualm or regret or hesitation, the way time does so well. And it was so, so strange to walk around there with almost total anonymity. In a school that small, you ran into people you knew ALL the time; it was unavoidable, for better or worse. But it was so strange to walk around feeling that kind of alienation, like I wasn't at home there anymore.
Because, well, that most definitely ISN'T my home anymore. I've changed and grown up (thank God) in ways that really hit home last night. One of the biggest things I realized along those lines is the ways in which that environment forces you to involve yourself to an arguably unhealthy emotional degree with your significant others and friends. There is so little there, that you have to find your meaning and your fun and your activities and means of occupying your time and thoughts SOMEWHERE. I really figured out how it was that I could become so intensely entangled in the women in my life there - there was so little else to do! And for the many people there who never date anyone on campus during their time there, they usually become obsessed with their friendships. Everything, every personal relationship, is put into some kind of bizarre accelerator that makes everything move SO quickly SO intensely. And I think that for me, I found a sense of intoxication on the women in my life; that was my booze. I mean, not literally, but there are certain conceptual similarities. Many people there keep themselves occupied with booze and drugs and friend drama because, well, there's not much else to do. And that can be surprisingly fun and enriching for a time. I certainly had a great time there, and I absolutely loved the small little world I had created for myself there. I ate it up, and was addicted to the close interaction I had with all these different, interesting people - particularly when I was a freshman and a sophomore.
But things changed for me, particularly during my senior year. During the summer between my junior and senior years, I lived on-campus but had class and two internships in the city, meaning I went there three or four days every week. It was here that I really saw how different "real life" was, and how there was oh-so-much more out there than I could even glimpse at Sarah Lawrence. I didn't realize it at the time, but it completely jaded me and made me deeply unsatisfied with life on campus during my senior year. To be quite honest, I became a bit of a Scrooge about it, and grew sort of grumpy because I was just so tired of that kind of living. I wanted my life to expand and grow, not remain stuck in this small world. Now, that isn't to say that my senior year wasn't wonderful, because it absolutely was, but I was dissatisfied with still being a student there, physically there. I wasn't happy with that small world anymore, with the insularity of the campus social groups and accompanying mindsets.
And looking back now, and seeing all my old haunts, I realize how much I've changed since even then, three years ago (my senior year). Everything I had then, while it may still mean something and while I am still friends with many of those people, is gone, or at least totally different. That was like a wholly different reality for me, and nothing from who I was then is truly there any longer. Now, this may sound extreme, but I don't mean it literally. I mean, I am still very much the same person - I love pizza, New Order and bad horror movies, and I still try to be nice to other people and I still value love above all else and so on and so forth. But all those loves feel different. All my weaknesses feel different. Everything is different, even when they remain. I am still who I was then, only I'm not. I have evolved and grown, along with the things that define me, that make me, me. And seeing all these old spaces again, filled with totally different people that know nothing of me and my life and the lives of my friends and college girlfriends, makes me think about all of this. Those days are gone. And the relationships that that artificial setting facilitated are gone. Now, that doesn't mean that the love or connections that inspired them are necessarily gone, because I think there is always a deep reason why two people come together, regardless of setting, but many of the dynamics facilitated by that artificial setting are gone. It's just that even when things remain, they are also gone; they are forever leaving you. I mean think about it: every time someone leaves your house, even if you see them again an hour later, aren't they leaving your life? It is possible that they may never come back, either due to a choice they or you make or circumstances beyond anyone's control. People are always leaving and coming back to one another, there but not there, present but absent. We are always in our own thoughts, our own worlds, our own realities, even when we are sharing time and space with another. But are we ever truly sharing the same space? Even when we have sex, we penetrate space where the other is not.
Here is my current favorite chapter of the Tao Te Ching, titled "The Uses Of Not":
Thirty spokes
meet in the hub.
Where the wheel isn't
is where it's useful.
Hollowed out,
clay makes a pot.
Where the pot's not
is where it's useful.
Cut doors and windows
to make a room.
Where the room isn't,
there's room for you.
So the profit in what is
is in the use of what isn't.
In a sense, seeing Sarah Lawrence, seeing these spaces where I no longer am, and where nothing I know is, I see greater value in what is, now, in my life. And in returning to a place where I was and am currently not, in using that setting, that space, I have gained profit in understanding what is. Does that make sense? I used what isn't (Sarah Lawrence, at least not for me anymore) to understand what is (my current life). I used my past (what isn't) to gain further insight into what is (my present).
And really, isn't this principle - using what isn't to gain and learn from what is - at the basis of love and personal relationships anyway? Doesn't this principle guide existence itself? All objects, all forms, all organisms, are what they are. And what makes them what they are is a combination of what they are and what they aren't. It's like the basic principle of semiotics (as I understand it): language is the use of what isn't, essentially. It's in the words you don't select that you make a statement, and that these words gain meaning. Think about it this way: how many known forms of matter are there in the world? Why aren't all things just one massive combination of every known type of matter? Why are there individual forms that populate space? Why are forms distinct from space? Why are forms distinct from one another? Even in seemingly solid forms, there are infinite negative spaces: this is the principle behind much of the work of Robert Smithson, with his looks at crystallography. Our bodies need to fill their empty spaces with food, and we could not possibly speak without empty space in our mouths. Our tongues are useful only in conjunction with what is not. And our mouths - isn't a mouth an empty space? It is an empty space defined by what surrounds it, and nothing more. It goes every which way.
But people...couldn't we all theoretically be one? Couldn't we all be one giant beast, like Mothra or Fat Albert? This is where love becomes significant; isn't love only significant because of what is not? Doesn't love only exist because of what isn't? If there wasn't emptiness between people, emptiness which is not, then would love even be possible? Would it matter? And giving, charity (or, as some would say, love) - isn't this only made possible by a lack, by that which is not? How would we give something if it was already one with the receiver? It is inconceivable. And when we feel we overcome that negative space, that gap, when we feel we have achieved oneness with another being; isn't that the whole point in many ways? Isn't that the point of life? Isn't that what makes life truly satisfying? And how would that be possible without that gap, without that which is not? It wouldn't be, and it wouldn't even be an accomplishment, because you would already be being it. I mean, aren't nearly all senses of accomplishment of any sort dependent upon the use of what isn't? We as people are defined by what isn't and how it relates to what is, and sometimes the boundary between the two is impossible to distinguish.
This is really at the core of what I am interested in right now, and what I have always been interested in with regards to art and film. And now, the time has come for me to move from merely writing about others' exploration of this principle and to enact my own experiments and questions.
I almost forgot the fact that this is a music blog. One Too Many Mornings, for me, is like a celebration of what is not and of what is no longer, perhaps even of what will never be. When I was a 12-year old high school freshman, I would sit and imagine relationships I didn't have and never had, imagining bridging the gap that is what isn't. And although all this time has passed, this song can still make me think of that, and it still makes me remember what has been but is no longer. And although songs leave their special places in our hearts - and many have that I enjoyed so much at that point - this one always manages to come back. It is so peaceful, so serene, yet so tender and infinitely vulnerable. It's so inhuman in that it says nothing (save for the weird sample at the end), but the gentle, musical breathing of the woman is infinitely human, as if it is saying simply, powerfully: "I am." And in what she doesn't say, in the language she doesn't use, that statement is made all the more powerful. Enjoy One Too Many Mornings by The Chemical Brothers.

This has nothing to do with cutting expenditure corners. It's about making decisions on where to spend (waste in some cases) the funds. But this actually exposes another problem within the Pentagon. The Pentagon and the RMA often loses sight of the world their troops inhabit. This is what happens when war fighters become too far removed from it, become politically minded, and are surrounded by civilians who have never experienced the uniform yet "out rank" them.The U.S. government has known about the flaw since the U.S. campaign in Bosnia in the 1990s, current and former officials said. But the Pentagon assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit it, the officials said.
The Gulf War taught the Pentagon and the RMA the wrong lessons. Instead of the future they envisioned, where technology alone would win wars with the minimum of ground troops waltzing in to greet the surrendering enemy, they got the same future history has produced for thousands of years. Technology has its place, but war will never change. Of course, it would take the blundering of fools at high levels years to prove this correct with the concept of non-lethal weapon fantasies and "Shock and Awe" fireworks.
We spend billions of dollars on a jet program that exists to fight a Soviet model enemy, but no troop receives adequate body armor to protect him against the 7.62 round that has been fired at him since the inception of the AK. I guess individual armor wasn't technological enough of a toy to play with. But once it became a political tool....
Foolish theories and blundering decisions do indeed infect the hierarchy of the Defense sector. Our military power around the globe has allowed our diplomats and politicians to be unimaginitive and feed an impractical idea that our military can do anything at anytime with little effort (another bad lesson learned from the Gulf War). This relates directly into assuming that the enemy will behave in the manner in which our toys have been made. Or that if our enemy actually points out a weakness in our systems that he will be too stupid to "know how to exploit it." How about a UAV leak allows our enemy to understand our patterns? Or how to adjust his movement tactics? Just another example of how far removed the Pentagon thinkers and their civilian over lords are from the world of the troop. Our enemy has mixed the Internet, cellular phones, and Radio Shack devices with donkeys and the good old reliable AK. We spend billions on our toys and the media focuses on the 100 dollar IED. Who is getting a bigger bang for their buck?
We are thinking too big. While we must remain aware and ready for that improbable war with a bigger nation state enemy, we must also be aware of the enemy history is placing before us.

Tired of my Mom's innumerable pleadings and complaints to spend a long vacation with my "old man and woman" at my picturesque home in Kerala, I finally obliged with a work-from-home option loaded on my shoulders. Not as exciting and fast-moving life it shall be, having known that, I moved in for a month to my Dad's lil villa on the river-side.
A pretty predictable routine, my Mom and Dad have made for themselves for each day. Wake-up, argue, have breakfast, argue (maybe fight), have lunch, argue, have evening tea, fight, dinner, argue, sleep. Things might change between days, when they decide to go out, and argue there. When you don't hear noises and voices in my house or close to where my parents are together,assume something's majorly gone wrong. Else, everything is just as fine and bonny it could be.
My Dad loves fish, and though he complains my Mom doesnt make them often for him, I don't see much truth in that considering all fishermen flocking every morning in front of my house promising the best and fresh ones. And though the dish may be lip-smacking, the effort that goes behind it is remarkable ( despicable to me, since I can't bear the smell and feel of any raw fish). I decided to watch my Mom clean those slimy things once in the back-yard from a distance. To be more precise, my lappy and me on the terrace, me with nothing much to do than gaze around, and Mom down there.
And he came. Magnificient. A giant white-eagle who perched right on top of the wall my Mom rested against. He was a treat to watch, but a scare. Eagles hit hard, and deep. What if Mom got hurt? with these fishes, I was sure the eagle might show no pity for my Mom's poor head. Ideas racing in my mind on how to warn my Mom, my jaw dropped when she raised a fish in her hand and the eagle pecked at it lovingly. One strange pet she has, i thought. And that's when two more came. Two ravens. The three together were a sight to watch, white between two blacks, all waiting for their master to feed them with her own hands.
My mom later told me, that if she misses for a couple of days, the eagle shows his anger by making screeching noises while perching on our terrace. But no physical harm. The ravens, more subtle, only pluck the tender fruits and flowers as their retaliation. Interesting.
I dialled my nature-loving uncle at my maternal home to tell him of this spectacular pet show. He was busy feeding his new friend. An elapid reptile just eight feet long. King Cobra.

"This label identifies articles that include information fact checked by news publishers and fact-checking organizations", reads a blog post co-authored by Jigsaw product manager Justin Kosslyn and Google researcher Cong Yu. Users will be able to conduct searches that returns an authoritative result containing multiple fact checks for claims, which will be displayed in tandem with search results pages on Google News. Their conclusions will appear in search results as long as they meet certain criteria for automation. This signifies that the article had been verified as true by news and fact-checking organizations.
After launching a preliminary test in October, Google has officially rolled out an automatic fact check tag program on its search pages. Clicking through to that article would show you that that number was researched and found to be in line with worldwide human rights organizations' research and estimates.
"The snippet will display information on the claim, who made the claim, and the fact check of that particular claim", the two wrote. For this, it has introduced "fact check" for search and its news results.
Google will work with the likes of Snope and PolitiFact as well as more traditional publishers like the New York Times and the Washington Post. Google makes it very clear that it has nothing to do with this process; it is simply contributing to giving users the ability to make informed decisions for themselves.
The search giant will not actually be doing the fact checking itself but instead will surface results from the likes of PolitiFact and Snopes. Finally, Google's algorithms need to determine that they are an authoritative source of information. On the contrary, Google does link its fact check tool to the fact-checking sites run by Duke.
But this information will not be enabled for all search results and there might be sites where different publishers have checked the claims and reached different conclusions.
Google acknowledged that different publishers will have different opinions on the validity of news stories, but said it would help people understand the "degree of consensus" on an overall topic.
