Another Diwali celebrated. And we are all ready for more celebration in this season. Isn't life all about celebrations? Though some 'I am superior than thou's will find Diwali too generic and short term to celebrate. They dislike crackers agreed its more problem than we think: noise and air pollution, safety hazards etc. But each Diwali we find that society is changing though some diehards aka foolhardy don't. But let's hope they will change some day. Apart from crackers i don't find these souls have anything to complain. At least mere mortals like me don't find anything sad in meeting of friends and relatives , exchanging greetings (though hackneyed and customary without real emotions as they complain), buying things, helping needy, lights, decoration, food, killas, rangolis, deepotasavs ( in IIT kgp we had splendid ilu festival still memories are fresh), cultural programs, outings, vacations . In fact i have enjoyed Diwali since childhood and same this year as well. And please don't say that i celebrate 365 days so i don't need these 4 days. You are self contradicting sirs. Enough of footage to these know it all, but just can help pointing contradictions. But then few of them are good friends so did not want to take them on publicly to an extent i wanted, thus using my own blog to express. Those who want to debate on this, please do so here. I am all game.
It was fun week and now back to work after short time out. Elections are just round corner in 5 states. As semi-final to 14, they will give enough indicators to trend. I have been vocal against AAP and MNS to fragment opposition votes acting in the hands of ruling party. Both these parties may have strong justification in opposing all others. But now it's time to make change and not support continuum else suffer weak economy, lack of development, vote bank uneconomic policies, terror, and corruption for next 5 years. At least give yourself an option. I know many will argue that all the politicians are same but we have strong example from 91-96 under PVN and 99 to 04 under Vajapayee when economy revived . A well meaning govt can make impact for sure. Lets hope Delhiwalas show the incumbents and so called aam aadmi muazzins their place. Rest states are heading in right direction if you want to believe opinion polls. Congress wants to ban those polls. But will anyone take that party seriously whose election policies rely upon one night before actions leading to election victories as we all know in cities and villages. So there is lot of room to dis believe the opinion polls but congress can do wonders 24 hrs prior to elections as they have since independence. But for all those who care about India, Time to change.
Another controversy has rocked putting sardar patel vs Nehru. It's a known fact that those opposing to Gandhi Nehru family within congress have been always sidelined in congress. So any defence of congress that sardar was congressman etc is just an empty rhetoric. Sardar showed nation way of unification and restoration of somnath temple out of public participation. Wish we had more of him.
Pune enjoyed Diwali with many cultural programs, less noise and pollution, deepostasavs etc. But spirit was somehow spoilt by tragic accident and loss of 4 lives on highway that leads to mahabaleshwar, konkan and goa. These are spots frequented by most including yours truly during Diwali and other occasions. One pays Rs 250 as toll to reach Kolhapur. But then highway state is pathetic and needs support. This calculation of toll and who benefits is taking sinister turn. Its high time a well meaning government comes out clean. But then when did Maharashtra had well meaning government esp with big barons at helm. But this is the a time to change that as well in 14.
As we enter final tests for sachin, euphoria is all around as i still remember my Diwali vacations in 89 while returning from Mumbai to Dombivali i read that a 16 year old Mumbai boy was selected in Indian team for Pakistan. And that was 24 years back. Those were some days. Just had a trek to Rajgad back in 89 and this year also had a chance to visit Rajgad. Some places amaze you, and Rajgad does that to you every time. Isnt that another coincidence involving 89 and 13? 24 years have gone by. Then i was std XI student now i am on the brink of 40. Many things have happened in these years. Lets prepare for a change ie life watching cricket without sachin as we already have changed watching virat, Dhawan, and rohit exploits in ODI. Romanticism of life has given way to pragmatism. Life has taught you many lessons. It has shown you man great moments. There is more to look forward from your next generation. Time for them to form their memories, teachings, experiences. More interesting times ahead..... Time to change.

We returned from vacation to learn our neighbors were organizing a group garage sale the next morning.
Did we want in? asked one.
We did. Need the space, we said.
Our tidy block of tiny homes was to become an open-air bazaar — OK, a flea market — where shoppers would stroll among unwanted waffle irons and Christmas sweaters.
The neighbors were excited, and we couldn't resist their enthusiasm. That's because we live in cottages — most less than 1,000 square feet — constructed in the 1920s with closets built for the modest consumer habits of that era.
In my house we've never been big on stuff. We are the opposites of pack rats, whatever that is. (Minimalist mice?)
But we have a book- and puzzle-loving child whose grandparents spoil her, and that means our closets and drawers overflow with the under-used results of good intentions. And we do like books — you know, the kind that are printed on paper and bound.
So early that Saturday morning, most of the folks on the block hauled out the unwanted junk. My family's contribution consisted of barbecue tools, a lightly used exercise ball, some old chairs, an Easy-Bake Oven, wine glasses, toys, the aforementioned waffle iron and assorted bric-a-brac that may or may not have been on our wedding registry.
The neighbors hauled out their clothes, oversized prints, compact discs, DVDs and other 20th century relics.
Organizers did minimal advertising: a few signs posted on nearby streets, a classified ad, but when the sale started about 7 a.m., it was amazing how many, um, customers appeared. They came with cash, big pickups and surprisingly strong haggling skills.
Many of our items sold. Many did not.
But what made the day was something I didn't expect. We bonded with the neighbors.
My daughter sold doughnuts, Girl Scout cookies and croissants. Another neighbor brought the coffee. That helped break the ice.
The conversation among the residents flowed as we all walked over to each other's driveways to eye each other's stuff. As it turns out there were stories behind all of these unwanted goods. Life stories. And by hearing neighbors joke about an old Pink Floyd record or a little-used stair climber we got to know a little more about them, what they liked, and what they can live without.
Our junk says something about us. Belongings have cultural currency, showing that at one time we thought, say, that it was important to buy a Tiffany lamp or a spatula from Williams-Sonoma. Or that country and electronic dance music can coexist in the same music collection. Or that the guy down the streets owns a strangely sweet collection of rom-coms — on VHS.
A garage sale can also reveal business prowess — or, in my case, a lack of it — and other personality traits. One nice neighbor turned into a hard bargainer, managing to hold her prices, or get close to asking. Another woman produced 20 (!) pairs of shoes on sale for $20. Did she have any left to spare?
Someone asked me how much I wanted for the slightly used Easy-Bake Oven and I replied, $10. The potential buyer was so put off he just walked away, and my neighbors later told me I was crazy for not chasing him down and asking for $5.
Toward the end of the day, the neighbors began sharing the unsold items. We ended up with a pretty decent vacuum. We gave away that exercise ball.
And then I rounded up the unsold items from all of the houses and took them to a local charity, where the volunteers were happy to have what we couldn't sell. That made me feel good.
Though a couple of neighbors raked in $500, we didn't earn much that day, maybe $50 or $60, but what we lost in potential earnings we gained in relationship-building and neighborhood pride.
And now we can close the closet doors.

Humanism is the enemy of religion. True humanists detest religion. Humanism came in to being as a break away from religion. Religion has for centuries been at the forefront of civilisation. Religion was the glue that kept societies together. Man has always been about money and religion and not necessary in that order. I think religion even came before money. Religion is about belief.
As soon as man got language and writing together man was curious about both the heavens and nature. Man needs beliefs. Man saw living and working in communities as a better way to survive, not just a few people living in a cave separated far from others. The cave man may have dwelled in small groups. But man saw strength in numbers. There were always the marauders the bandits so living in numbers the group can fight off their enemies. Life was and is about survival. In the communities man had their leaders but man wanted their spiritual leaders. Man has since the beginning perceived the spiritual side. How does man perceive spiritual? Man is spirit and soul and so man naturally believes in the spirits. Over the centuries man in their own unique languages have called the spirit side by many names but no matter what names are used the fact is man can perceive and there is a big pattern to all this belief. The total pattern is that there is a Supreme One God. Religions in their immaturity might address many gods as in many demons so they address the dark spiritual side. The Jews addressed the one supreme God and then came Christianity to cap it off on this one God. Christ came to teach and preach about His Father the One Supreme God. We only mature spiritually and see the big pattern of true belief through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only begotten Son of the One Supreme God.
Humanism came as a response maybe to the corruption in religion. We call this first break away as the Renaissance. It was a born again period. Humanism was a born again break away. Birthing anew and away from religion. The Renaissance was essentially a European thing. The religion at this time in Europe was essentially Roman Catholic. We get Catholic priests who were corrupt. Bishops bought their positions. Bishops and cardinals ruled the roost. The people were under the thumb of these religious. Now amongst the people were talented people. But to learn or get good positions you had to be either rich or know friends in high places. Religion was stifling society. There were many intelligent people who wanted more of life, they wanted to learn. Most people at this time were poor and were in to labouring jobs. The people blamed religion for their predicament. People went to literature, music and the arts to satisfy their hunger for learning. We got the classical painters and musicians. People learnt to read and write. People read books. People saw beyond the confines of what the Roman Catholic Church taught. People left the church and even said the church was evil and that the Pope was the Devil. Universities were opened to all people who could pay and not just open to the upper classes. We saw an emancipation of the lower classes to learn.
Humanism like anything that goes too much goes into unbalance. We now don't have religion controlling every thought and deed of our lives. But people when they start something don't know when to stop. Humanism was a response to religion. Humanism was essentially a western response.
But humanism has not always been a response to religion. You could even say humanism came with the Greeks. The Greeks were about thought. Philosophy they called it. We got the teachers Plato and Socrates. So it was only later we got the Renaissance and the freedom to learn away from religion. The Greeks got western civilisation on to science. Philosophy soon became science. It was about the study of the heavens and nature.
We have the initial humanistic wave coming with the Greeks then we got the second wave coming with the European Renaissance. Later came the psychological humanism from the likes of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. It was philosophy and psychology. But the word "science" has superseded all the previous names for humanisms pursuits. So where is religion now with the humanists? A true humanist does not need the religion of God or gods, the true humanist now has science as his her religion. It's all about science to the humanist now. Science is about empirical evidence. Science can be proved whereas religion is just belief and can not be proved. You can not prove God exists.
What am I? I am no humanist. To me humanism in today's definition is not just about a freedom from religion. I have a lot of my life been religious. I am now forsaking religion. But I am not forsaking God. My Master and Lord is God through Jesus Christ. Religion in todays life can smother out talent and inspiration. Religion even today is a lot about man made dogmas and man made rules and man made rituals. Priests are forsaking Christ's teachings to teach their own made up teachings. Priests are controlling souls with man made rules. But not all religion is bad, quite a lot is ok. I lived with religion quite a bit, I grew up with it for many years. I became a Christ believer in the lap of religion. Without religion I might not have been saved. My soul is saved. There are also good religious. With age comes wisdom. With Christ's wisdom comes a break away from man made wisdom. Religion can be man made so I break away from the man made religion, I do keep the wisdom and religion that is of Christ. I don't need mans wisdom now as I have Christ's wisdom to help me. Mans wisdom served its purpose, it helped me until I was wise of God. In Christ's wisdom I am no humanist but I also am no religious, I am neither. I don't need humanism and I don't need religion. It's that simple.
Yours Sincerely; Lester John Murray.

Attempting in 2014 to prove or disprove the Fant, Faunt,L'enfant family as a single origin family, I am getting a huge amount of families in my assorted databases. I find families in Lincolnshire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire,Derbyshire and a bit of Staffordshire pretty far back in time.
The family which Ernest Albert Fant originated in first comes to my attention in Lincolnshire. Robert Fant, father of Ernest, is apparently born to a single mother in Spalding, Lincolnshire. This Martha Fant born in Gosberton also has sons John Thomas and William Laycock Fant. Was there a William Laycock who she married before she marries William Burwell in 1859? If so I cannot find him although it is surely possible. Her father was Thomas Fant from Upwell Cambridgeshire and her mother Elizabeth Carteron. She has a brother Thomas who in 1849 goes to jail for larceny for 2 months and seems to die without issue.
So Ernest Albert Fant and his progeny who eventually are found in Nottinghamshire and perhaps even in Hull. Perhaps they would not be DNA matches as their male line seems to be handed down differently than the Fant surname.
There is also a group from Yorkshire and Westmorland but that may be for another day, although the areas sort of drift into one another.

We'll always try to accommodate our customers. Let us know what you'd like to substitute and we'll see if we can make that happen. Unfortunately, some of our items are pre-prepped in a way that doesn't allow easy substitutions, but asking can't hurt!
9. How long can your frozen items stay in the freezer?
We package our frozen entrees daily, so they'll stay fresh in your freezer for a couple months.
10. When does your salad dressing expire?
We don't add any preservatives to our dressing, so they won't last as long as your typical grocery store bottle. We recommend finishing it within four months.
11. What is your parking situation?
We have a small lot in the back, as well as street parking on Patricia and Pico. Please be aware of signs and meters, and feel free to ask us if you're unsure!

Going on a job interview can be an anxiety filled experience. If it is your dream job then you likely think that you should agree with everything the interviewer says and lay yourself down at their feet to beg for the job. While that might work for some, if you really want to project the idea that you are qualified and ready for the position you are interviewing for then try following a few of these do's and don'ts. They'll help you stay professional and dignified, something every employer wants to see from a potential employee.
Do research on the company and position that you are applying for. Even if you are doing a number of interviews, you still want to take the time and do focused research on each. You want to know things like job responsibilities, company history, management tier, big accounts, technological changes, any controversial news, and who was in that position prior. If you're applying to a radiologist such as MRI New Orleans, you should do your homework and know what you're talking about before going in. This can take some time but you want to be prepared for any question or topic that your employer throws at you and having this information at the ready will show that person that you are hardworking and thorough even before you are offered the position.
Do dress for the job you want. If you are interviewing for medical school or for a management position, do not wear your Saturday night on the town outfit. This doesn't mean that you have to look like a school mom either. For women, a skirt that hits the knees or dress pants is appropriate along with a conservative blouse. For men, professional dress is a suit with jacket and tie along with shined shoes. You want to show your potential employer that you respect their job enough to dress appropriately and that you have personal respect for your appearance.
Do be on time. Nothing is more disrespectful than making someone that could offer your employment wait to meet you. Showing up 30 minutes early is a touch desperate and they might not be totally prepared to interview you yet, which can be disconcerting for some employers. Showing up about 15 minutes early will give you enough time to do things like use the restroom, find parking, check your appearance or do a quick prep before you head in. In addition, showing up early proves to a potential employer that you are responsible and conscious of deadlines. If you are running over 30 minutes late, it becomes a personal choice at that point, most professional, high-paying jobs likely won't interview you, but you never know. It is better than not showing up.
Don't ever say, "I don't know" in response to a question. Saying "I don't know" means that you don't want to give an answer, means that you can't think on your feet and you are easily knocked off your game. If you truly don't have the answer to the question, answer what you do know or what you think it might be. Be honest, but knowledgeable. Sometimes interviewers give you questions they know you don't know so they can see how you handle the pressure.
Don't outright lie. Do not put on resume that you have experience in something that you know nothing about. Don't say you speak Finnish if you don't. Don't lie about your class ranking. Exaggerate. If you are seeking a higher position, talk about all the responsibilities and lessons you learned when you were in lower tiers. If you don't know how to work a certain computing system, admit that you have worked with a multitude of systems and are a quick learner. If any interviewer catches you in a lie, you might as well see yourself out.
Don't slouch or fidget. If you have a nervous habit, like clicking pens or tapping your foot, do it before you get into the interview room. Fidgeting is a sign of insecurity and is distracting for interviewers. Just keep your hands in your lap and your feet on the floor. Do not slouch either. It sends the message that you don't care enough to sit up straight, which translates to laziness and lack of dedication. Sit up straight, smile, make eye contact and get that job.

Qasim al-Raymi (Arabic: قاسم الريمي) is a citizen of Yemen who is a senior leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).[1][2] Al-Raymi is one of 23 men who escaped in the 3 February 2006 prison-break in Yemen, along with other notable al-Qaeda members. He next appears in connection to a July 2007 suicide bombing that killed eight Spanish tourists. In 2009, the Yemeni government accused him of being responsible for the running of an al-Qaeda training camp in Abyan province.
Abu Hureira Qasm al-Rimi is the name tied to a man identified in a threatening video posted anonymously to YouTube.[3][4][5] Agence France Presse reported he had also been identified as "Abu Hureira al-Sana'ani". The Jamestown Foundation identified him as Qasim al-Rimi.[6][7] According to the Jamestown Foundation "Abu-Hurayrah" is a title—it means "military commander". He is al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's military commander.
Three other men appeared in the video.[3] Two of them were identified as former Guantanamo captives named Abu Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi and Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri. The other man was identified as Abu Baseer al-Wahayshi.
Guantanamo spokesman Commander Jeffrey Gordon declined to confirm SITE's identifications.[3]
Saudi wanted list
On 3 February 2009 Saudi security officials published a new list of Saudi most wanted terrorist suspects.[8][9] The 68th individual found on that list was named "Muhammad Qasim Mehdi Reemy" or "Qassem Mohammed Mahdi Al-Rimi" with the aliases "Abu Hurayrah" and "Abu Ammar". Qassem Al-Rimi on the Saudi wanted list was one of two Yemenis on the list, and was said to be a "linked to Al Qaeda in Yemen, Saudi Arabia". According to the Associated Press he has "links to a plot targeting the U.S. ambassador in San'a."[10][11] They reported he rented the house where the operation was planned and he "monitored the US embassy".
Reports of Death
Al Rimi's death has been reported multiple times.
Al Rimi was reported to have died during a raid by Yemeni security officials on 9 August 2007.[12] Ali bin Ali Douha and two other militants were reported to have been killed during the raid.
Abu al-Rimi was the target of a raid on al-Qaeda camps in Yemen on 17 December 2009, which reportedly was carried out by US cruise missiles.[13][14] He was not reported killed.
It was reported that he was killed in a 4 January 2010 raid by Yemeni security forces, though this was proven false. However, according to officials, a Yemeni air strike on two cars, one of which reportedly contained al-Rimi, was conducted on Friday 15 January of 2010. Al-Rimi was reported to be one of those killed.[15][16] Of the eight men thought to be in the two cars, six are thought to have been killed in the strike.[17]
Following reports of his death Al Rimi was described as the military commander for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.[15][16] He is reported to have "orchestrated" the 25 December 2009 attempted suicide bombing of Nigerian Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab. But later it was found out he was alive and al-Rimi announced the creation of an "Aden-Abyan Army" to free the country of "crusaders and their apostate agents," in an Internet audio tape.[18]
Apology for Hospital Attack
Following the 2013 attack on the Yemeni Defense Ministry, which resulted in the killing of numerous doctors and patients at a hospital present in the compound, al-Rimi released a video message apologizing, claiming that the team of attackers were directed not to assault the hospital in the attack, but that one had gone ahead and done so.[19]

How To
Digital photography could be a entertaining and fulfilling activity or even a reasonably profitable occupation. Any person with a decent eyesight as well as a innovative way of thinking can learn to become a digital photographer with a little bit of function. Utilize the guidance in this post to provide you going on your path to artistry.
In present times, a single home usually has many internet users on desktop computers, laptops, smart devices (iOS, Android, mobile, tablets) that brings need to distribute the single internet connection between all these devices via a wifi device. Wifi device shares internet connection between multiple devices. If you are your home administrator then you will also be network administrator in your home and you would like to monitor sometimes that who is connected to the wifi. This also enables you to monitor any unauthorized access to your wifi router, if any. Here is a small utility that lets you know about the current connected devices to your wifi.
You can record the video or download the entire video and then edit or cut it into parts as you desire with the help of a good video editing software in PC but that needs time and some skills. It might also need some bucks to buy that software. It sounds good if you regularly edit video but if it is not what you do in your daily life then you need a free online tool that does the job easily. Downloading videos from YouTube and other video streaming websites is easy. Many software and online tools allow just that. What if you want to download a portion of video from YouTube and not the whole video? What about downloading video in your preferred format? Record, slice, convert and download nearly any audio or video URL to common formats by using these online tools.
uTorrent is the faster way to share and download large size files. You can create torrent and transfer large file by using uTorrent easily. How many times have you observed that you download a healthy torrent but with time it loses seeds and downloading speed? Torrent download speed depends on available seeds and some other adjustable parameters in uTorrent software. By default, uTorrent is set to download any file at normal bandwidth allocation and with less connections. You can edit the uTorrent preferences to alter default values to give it a boost. This can be controlled by the following way.
In many cases you web browser proxy settings can be changed. Web browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome are vulnerable to proxy setting changes if malware like Trojan-Banker.Win32.Capper enters in PC. This malware adds a special URL to the 'Use automatic configuration script' option in the Internet connection settings. The CapperKiller utility is a free portable software that will eliminate this malware from infected PC and fix the proxy settings for all web browsers. If your PC is not infected by above mentioned malware but your browsers proxy settings have been changed, still you can use this guide and software recommendation within to fix your PC.
You can activate Google Voice Search from anywhere in the iOS by using NowNow (your iDevice should have Google Search app installed) and that is not any new Cydia tweak. NowNow allows you to activate Google's virtual assistant from anywhere in the iOS. And now here is something more. A cydia tweak can combine Google Now voice search and Siri together for better results. If you hate Siri voice recognition system, use this guide to enhance it.
Not everybody like Siri. Users complain that "Siri rarely, does what it is told to do". The problem is Siri's voice recognition approach. If you think that Google Now Voice understands your voice better then you can use Google Voice search (in Google Now) to recognize voice commands and then send them to Siri for execution. Google Now voice search seems to be fast, accurate and more responsive. Google's voice recognition system is way better than Siri's.
We have shared Google Now screenshots and the way how to download Google Now for Android or Apple devices. But Google Now is not available for all countries. I wonder why they limit the services when there is always a way or solution to restricted things. And this is a public app, a service that everybody should use. Then why restrict it? When I installed the Google Now on my iPad, Google Now was not working (was not on – it was disabled) and was giving me this message that "Google Now is not yet available in this Country". So here is how you can still use Google Now anywhere.

Migration and health – where's the global leadership?
Migration and health – where's the global leadership?
Date: Tuesday 18 October 2016
Time: 5:15 pm – 6:45 pm
Venue: John Snow Lecture Theatre, LSHTM, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT, UK
Chair(s): Martin McKee (LSHTM) and Richard Horton (Lancet)
There are unprecedented numbers of refugees and other migrants around the world. While the responses by some agencies and governments in meeting the health needs of migrants has been impressive, overall the responses appear woefully inadequate. Underpinning much of this failure is the lack of national and global leadership. Early indications on the outcomes from the first United Nations High-Level Summit on refugees and migrants are concerning, with the response to health described as disappointing and deeply unsatisfactory. This Global Health Lab seeks to explore the role of global leadership in addressing the health needs of migrant populations.

- Monica Rull, Médecins Sans Frontières – Switzerland

The first 20 months of my tenure as Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee CEO have been filled with opportunities to help the organization be agile and responsive to the sector it serves. We listened to our members, supporters and the nonprofit community as a whole to better understand the role that NPC's mission fills.
Through internal analyses, gathering recommendations and expertise from the community and identifying priority areas of focus, the organization has identified new and critical opportunities for growth. I would like to take a moment now to give a brief update on some important changes to our organization.
Over the next few months, the organization will move forward with renewed purpose and attention to capacity building, advocacy, programming and communications. While we are still putting the pieces of our plan in place, it is apparent that significant changes will be made - changes that are in the best interest of the organization in meeting its long-term vision, strategies and goals.
In order to prepare for broader organizational changes, we determined that a staffing restructure is needed to best serve our constituents. Unfortunately, this means that we are eliminating three long-time NPC positions - Client Relations Director (Margaret Thom), Training Coordinator (Susanne Vella) and Corporate and Events Manager (Debbie Knepke).
We sincerely thank all three of these wonderful people for their years of service to our members and to this organization. We wish them all the best for the future.
Change is sometimes difficult, but essential. As the next phase of NPC evolves, we are eager to continue using your feedback for guidance. We want to remain responsive to your needs, helping you help your community. So please feel free to call or email me at any time to ask questions, offer suggestions or make a comment.

Malaysiakini Letter
Everyone has been busy being righteously angry with animal rights activist, Samsung Galaxy Note sales rep and new Internet sensation Sharifah Zohra Jabeen.
Malaysia's latest cultural export has stormed the Internet in ways even VK Lingam's "Correct, correct, correct" quip or former minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's Cowgate scandal could not.
"Let me speak," she commanded. "Listen, listen, listen," she said.
It is beautifully ironic that the woman who wanted so much to be heard is now nowhere to be heard from.
It's practically a parable.
Also, if she really was belittling KS Bawani's own level of education in comparison to her own, she might be interested to know that Bawani is currently studying for her second degree, her first being a degree in psychology from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).
Finally, her deeply passionate rant about the little known plights of animals probably fell on deaf ears, as just about every major Barisan-linked party turned her into a sacrificial lamb - and went on the slaughter.
Cats get kicked, sharks get finned, and now she gets slaughtered in statement after statement as BN's new chance to play the moderation card.
Umno, MCA, MIC and Gerakan have all jumped on the bandwagon.
But the joke is not only on her.
We have all taken our turns criticising her and the rest of the students at that forum.
Where were we at the forum itself? Plenty of people have praised Bawani for being brave, but to get a true appreciation of the guts it took for her to get up and rail against what she called a "brainwashing" forum (in what was essentially hostile territory, politically speaking), we have to consider why absolutely nobody came to her defence.
I believe the 'bystander effect' played a part here.
What it generally entails is that the more people there are surrounding an incident that requires help; the less likely it is that any help will be given.
People assume less responsibility for themselves when there are so many other people around who could help.
It is much easier to imagine that someone would have stood up and rebuked Sharifah if there had only been five people in the room, for instance.
In all our outrage over the students who applauded Bawani but did not speak up, we may have overestimated our capacity for courage.
Can we really say we would not have done the same? If I had to answer honestly, I think I would likely have just sat there.
I would have weighed the situation and concluded that I would only be ignored or silenced if I tried.
It is sad to think so. You may disagree.
"The right thing to do is so blindingly obvious, so how could it not be done?" There's an answer to that too.
Last year, a film called ' Compliance ' had a limited release in the US.
It's the story of a prank caller who poses as a police officer and directs the manager of a fast food store to interrogate one of her employees, ostensibly for being a suspect in a crime.
Throughout the film, a few characters are made to do increasingly degrading things to the woman under the direction of the police officer, a strip-search being only the beginning.
Many people reportedly walked out during screenings, morally disgusted that anybody, even a movie character, would be stupid (or rather, compliant) enough to do such things when they were obviously wrong.
However, not only was the film based directly on an actual real-life incident at a McDonald's outlet, there were also over 70 such reported cases in the US.
The truth is that we would all like to believe that we can see the plain, obvious right thing to do - and do it.
But plenty of factors - the environment, the presence of an authority figure, fear - divert us.
There is always a silver lining.
In both the film and real-life case, the prank was exposed when uncompromising people refused to go along with the absurd orders.
And now, having heard of these stories, might we be more confident that we now know for certain what to do under similar circumstances? Yes, possibly.
If there is a takeaway from this whole incident, it is not about the establishment's dismissal of our students, or the mindless herd mentality of some.
It is that the action we need every reformer to take will not come as easily as we might think.
There are so many people who support the opposition who can help volunteer, why should I?
There are other candidates for office and I am scared of it being dirty, why should I run?
There are millions of other voters who will vote, why should I cast a ballot? Hopefully, we will because it is the right thing to do.

Char, if you didn't wear the swimsuits to the studio, what was it you were wearing that you kept teasing Louis with? You need that studio web cam set up for us!
Louis you are going to get dealt another defeat in your chess match, you know. Char just sounds more confident.
March 11, 2015 at 9:24 amPermalink
Louis, you'd better be pulling for Char if she were in a wrestling match against some other man or woman! Especially if it were a woman! Good answer, buddy! She'd slaughter you if you said you weren't! But Char, if Louis were in a match against someone else, man or woman, who would YOU pull for? I can guess you'd pull for Louis against another man but would you have to hold true to your Girl Power pact if it were against a woman?
Char, he still sounds arrogant talking about chess. Show him up this match! I'M pulling for YOU! 🙂
March 11, 2015 at 9:38 amPermalink
Louis, Char said she wanted to box you more than any other competition she could think of. She said she daydreams of boxing you and she said she thinks it's a turn on if she got to box you! Look, she agrees to wrestle you all the time! The least you can do for her is agree to give her what she wants! No excuses about not hitting a girl, either. You would be lucky to get in three hits the whole match and I doubt you'd last more than two rounds with her. Come on! We all are dying to see her punch you out in a boxing match! Consider it? You know you'd be turned on, too. Right? So why not! You realize how many guys would trade places with you in a second to have a wife who would box them? That's just as sexy as wrestling! Char, I'm trying for you!
March 11, 2015 at 9:50 amPermalink
So there was no 8 second match, then? How quick do you think was the fastest time you ever pinned Louis in a match? Have you ever forced him to submission?
Char, I know you'll never wrestle anyone else but Louis but it didn't hurt to ask. I can wish! 😉
And just between the two of us, you'd beat me as easily as you do Louis. Don't tell anyone! ROFLOL
There, see, I can leave a comment you don't have to edit! Haha!
March 11, 2015 at 10:55 amPermalink
Something you said, Louis, didn't sound right and I looked back at your history of chess matches this morning and as far as I can see, Char has already proven herself to be the true chess champ between you. Or chess Queen, if you will. 😉
You said she's won about 3 matches and you've won 1 so it's not been as dominating a streak as her paper football or wrestling match victories. And if that was it, I would also agree that 3 matches to 1 doesn't prove anything. But guess what? IT'S NOT TRUE! Or am I missing any chess matches? I see where Char beat you the first time you ever played each other, and might I remind you it was as you were supposed to be teaching her how to play. I remember you beat Char in the 2011 Traveling Twosome Olympics but could not find that video online. But then, all these videos are online. 2012 Traveling Twosome Olympics, The Battle of the Sexes Chess Match, 2013 Traveling Twosome Olympics, The 2nd Battle of the Sexes Chess Match, and the 2014 Traveling Twosome Olympics. That's 6 games for Char to only one for you. You are just in denial because you can't believe that Char is really beating you at a thinking mans game, not just stuff like wrestling. 6-1 is a totally dominate win/loss record. And after your next match, I'm sure it will be 7-1.
Am I missing any chess matches or do you stand corrected? It's 6 games for Char to only 1 for you and Char has nothing to prove. But she will anyway when she beats you again this time around.
Have fun beating him again Char, he's got nothing on you!
March 11, 2015 at 12:13 pmPermalink
Char I'm not surprised to hear you say that boxing would be your desired competition against Louis. It seems like a safe bet for you. You'd be sure to win, and It would be one that everyone would talk about! LOL
Louis, I had a question for you this week but you in a way answered it on your show. I was going to ask you if you have ever got upset that you couldn't beat Char. I really meant it about wrestling and arm wrestling, but you said on the show this week that you were frustrated over Char's paper football wins. So I guess I can still ask, what about in wrestling or arm wrestling! And Char, that has to make you feel good that you've beat him to the point of frustration. LOL
March 11, 2015 at 12:50 pmPermalink
Louis, Louis, Louis. Shame on you! With all your talk about taking back "1/2 of what you said" about Char not being as smart as you and therefore won't beat you at chess, you still didn't come out and take it back. Char, just put him out of his misery this time. He said if you won this one, he'd acknowledge you were better at chess. Do it!
March 11, 2015 at 1:40 pmPermalink
Hi Char just what was it you were unzipping for Louis in the radio studio? Sounded hot!
March 11, 2015 at 4:22 pmPermalink
Char you need to get Louis to box you. I have to see that! Knockout!!!
March 11, 2015 at 5:11 pmPermalink
I really don't need to hear about horse perversions char. I'm disgusted. J/K
March 12, 2015 at 1:57 amPermalink
You are correct, Christopher Rodgers. I thought the same thing when I heard that too.

Application Procedure
For admission to a diploma or associate degree program, a student is required to demonstrate the appropriate aptitude and background for the anticipated area of study. This is accomplished through the following means:
- Submission of a high school diploma or its equivalent, such as the General Educational Development (GED) certificate.
- Submission of the student's ACT or SAT scores in place of the entrance evaluation.
- Completion of an application for admission to the University with an application fee.
- Request of transcripts from all educational institutions previously attended.
Students wishing to enter the Baccalaureate Division in Business Administration, Human Resource Leadership, or Information Technology must:
- Possess an associate degree from Sullivan or another accredited institution, or approximately 90 quarter or 60 semester hours of credit.
- Complete an application for admission to the University with an application fee.
- Submit a high school diploma or its equivalent, such as the General Educational Development (GED) certificate.
- Request transcripts from all educational institutions previously attended.
Students wishing to enter the on-campus Baccalaureate Division in Paralegal Studies must possess an associate degree in Paralegal Studies from Sullivan or another paralegal program that is either ABA-approved, or which is in substantial compliance with ABA guidelines and otherwise appropriately accredited, or is a full member of the American Association for Paralegal Education. Associate degree applicants must meet the University's entrance requirements for associate degree admission.
Students wishing to enter the Baccalaureate Division in Hospitality Management must possess an associate degree in a hospitality major from Sullivan or another regionally or nationally accredited institution.
Applicant Interview
The University individually interviews and advises each person seeking admission. This interview often takes place on campus. Interviews can also be conducted in-home, virtual, or on-campus. Students from other parts of the United States or international students may complete an application by mail or online. Students can visit the University's website at www.sullivan.edu if a visit to the campus is impossible.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
Students who enroll for personal and/or professional development rather than to pursue a diploma or degree, may apply for admission to the University as non-degree students. Admission status is determined by the information reported by the applicant. A high school transcript or GED certificate is required. There is no limit to the number of credit hours a non-degree student may accumulate. There is, however, no guarantee that should the student decide to convert enrollment status to degree-seeking, that those courses taken while a non-degree student will be applicable to a Sullivan University degree program. The person who converts to degree-seeking status must meet all regular admissions requirements. Students whose status is non-degree seeking and who are taking individual subjects are responsible for notifying the Registrar's office if they choose to become degree-seeking.
Admission to the Graduage School and College of Pharmacy
In addition to the application process and international student procedures listed above, see the Graduate School section or the College of Pharmacy section of this catalog for admission requirements to those programs.

An event every teenage girl looks forward to more than anything in the world is their prom. This is an event that signifies being a teenager. Hence, one should not be surprised that one gets excited at the prospect of attending this event. We all love the idea of dressing up and dancing the night away. However, the task of getting ready is not easy. For teenagers deciding what to wear and how to do their hair would seem like the million dollar question. This is something they would ponder about for hours at an end. However, one should keep in mind that this process would be complicated only if they make it so.
