The hour-long documentary, commissioned by the erstwhile king of Sikkim, shows life in the kingdom before it was annexed by India.
Originally lost, only to resurface later, the controversial documentary Sikkim (1971) was screened in public once again at the 16th Mumbai International Film Festival of India. The film was banned by the government once Sikkim was annexed by India in 1975. Later, when it was screened at a film festival in 2010, it was again banned by a Sikkim court.
Filmmaker Satyajit Ray was commissioned by the erstwhile chogyal (king) of Sikkim, Palden Thondup Namgyal, to create an account of life in the kingdom. The filmmaker had unrestrained access to turn the camera on all aspects of life in Sikkim. The result is a gorgeous snapshot of another era, aesthetically filmed by Soumendu Roy, wherein Ray showcases everything from daily life to nature to tradition in the Himalayan region.
Sikkim opens with a wet, foggy intro into the kingdom, home of the Kanchenjunga mountain. Ray narrates that what the kingdom lacks in size, it makes up for in scenery. The documentary short takes us through various ways of life from simple farming at Lachung to the bustling Lal Bazaar marketplace in Gangtok, the capital. From nature to handicrafts, all aspects of Sikkim's natural beauty are shown.
But the most candid shots, of course, are of Sikkim's people, especially the children. The documentary points out that education was free in Sikkim, and 20% of the kingdom's budget went into ensuring the futures of its next generation. The different tribal peoples of Sikkim and the religions they follow are also named; Ray particularly points out that the kingdom is a tolerant place.
Naturally, the focus turns to the chogyal and his American queen, Hope Cooke, who is always by his side. A large portion of the second half of Sikkim moves to the grand New Year's celebrations held at the royal palace which involves a whole parade, including bands and jesters, and ends in a lawn party that seems to have invited the whole kingdom.
Ray and his cameraman Roy linger on actions and scenes that others wouldn't, and it's their gaze that frames this travelogue that also serves as a documentary.
Four years after this film was made the monarchy was abolished by referendum and Sikkim became the 22nd state of India on 16 May 1975. The fear that the documentary could be seen as an endorsement for the monarchy and Sikkim's king probably contributed to the ban on it in the first place.
Because it was lost for a while, Sikkim is today a historical account of the kingdom and serves to show a simpler time unsullied by modern ways. Presented in Ray's inimitable style, Sikkim is another gem in his illustrious career.
Sikkim was screened as part of a special package on The Legacy of Satyajit Ray at the 16th Mumbai International Film Festival on 31 January 2020.

Courageous Sen. Elizabeth Warren Pledges To Never Take Money From The NRA. They Aren't Offering Any.By Emily ZanottiDailyWire.com
In an "inspirational" video for Now This News, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) forcefully pledges that she will never take a dime from the National Rifle Association, particularly in light of a recent school shooting near Houston, Texas.
But there's just one problem: the NRA has never cut a check to Warren, and they aren't about to start now.
Now This News proudly trumpets their "exclusive," calling Warren the "first U.S. Senator to pledge never to take money from the NRA. The activist news organization even devotes a flattering three minutes to Warren's "pledge," superimposing "facts" about Sen. Warren over action photos.
'It's time we strip the NRA of its stranglehold over our children's lives.' — Elizabeth Warren is the first U.S. senator to pledge never to take money from the NRA pic.twitter.com/yzKWedNQNb
— NowThis (@nowthisnews) May 18, 2018
The National Rifle Association is far from one of the biggest corporate campaign donors — it doesn't typically crack the top 50, unlike more aggressive political non-profits, like Planned Parenthood — but it is by no means a stingy donor to those candidates who support gun rights (including, but not limited to, Sen. Bernie Sanders).
But according to Open Secrets, which has records for the NRA going back nearly a decade, the NRA has never cut a check to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren — not even the token $50 checks they sometimes send Democratic Members of Congress from states where hunting is particularly popular. In 2012, the last time Warren ran for office, the NRA actually scaled back donations across the board, giving just slightly more than $1 million to Congressional races.
It's not as though the NRA is clamoring to donate to Warren now, either. Her rhetoric in the wake of the Parkland mass shooting has been nothing short of vitriolic, and the NRA doesn't typically cut checks to candidates who are openly hostile to their aims. It'll be shockingly easy for her to keep her brave "pledge."

US President George W Bush is set to announce fresh sanctions on Sudan over the Darfur conflict, US officials said.
The US will also push for a stronger UN Security Council resolution punishing Khartoum over the ongoing violence, singling out President Omar al-Bashir.
Washington will ban more companies from US trade and crack down on individuals suspected of violence in Darfur.
China, a major customer for Sudan's oil, said the new US sanctions would only complicate the problem.
"These wilful sanctions and simply applying pressure is not conducive to solving the problem," said Liu Guijin, China's special representative on the Darfur issue.
US President George W Bush is due to speak at the White House at 0800 (1200 GMT).
"President Bashir's actions over the past few weeks follow a long pattern of promising co-operation while finding new methods of obstruction," Mr Bush will say, according to a draft of the speech.
The strengthened measures, which also include toughening existing sanctions imposed in 1997, will take effect immediately, US government officials said, targeting mainly companies in the oil industry.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair welcomed the new sanctions against Sudan, his spokesman said, saying "what is happening in Sudan is not acceptable by any international standards".
More than 200,000 people have been killed and about two million have fled their homes amid fighting by government-backed Arab Janjaweed militias and rebel groups in Darfur. ....

I'm Alexander Heffner, your host on The Open Mind. And today I'm delighted to welcome Dan Abrams, carrying forward on this program, the tradition and next generation of Abram's / Heffner conversations on this air. Dan Abrams is the chief legal affairs anchor for ABC News and CEO and founder of Abrams Media. He also hosts Live PD on A & E Network and the Dan Abrams Show Where Politics Meets the Law on Sirius XM. He is author of the new book "Theodore Roosevelt For The Defense: The Courtroom Battle to Save His Legacy." As NPR recounts, "It's an absorbing excursion into an epic 1915 libel case against then former President Teddy Roosevelt. In a truth telling sermon, advocating for a would be corruption busting gubernatorial candidate. Roosevelt accused Republican political boss, William Barnes of promoting evil men whose activities so deeply taint and discredit our whole system of government and the maladministration of public offices." Dan, it's such a pleasure to meet you and to have you here at this table.
ABRAMS: It is great to be here.
HEFFNER: You know your father, Mr., Abrams, Floyd, was a favorite guest of my grandfather.
ABRAMS: He's the Mr. Abrams. I'm the Dan. Yeah, no, and I got to say, and I said this to you when before we came on, my dad loved coming on this show with your grandfather. I mean my dad Floyd Abrams did a lot of sort of TV appearances, et cetera back in the day. And I always remember him saying how much he enjoyed coming on this show because he really got to sort of dig in, talk about issues that he cared about, talk about issues that in his view mattered. So it's great to be here, with you.
HEFFNER: Absolutely. This book is on par with that. There was an intellectual fervor and excitement with those exchanges between Floyd and, and Dick Heffner, my grandfather, the founder of this program, which were exciting, we might get to that including their very vigorous disagreement on Citizens United, which came towards the end of those episodes.
ABRAMS: Yes. Yes.
HEFFNER: First to the book, which is really an outstanding read. Teddy Roosevelt after he had served in office was sued for libel.
ABRAMS: Roosevelt's president from, from around '01 to '09. He then gives it up. He says, all right, I've served almost two terms. Remember he came in because William McKinley was shot. And he said it's time for me to step down. 1912 he decides he's going to run again. He feels that the Republican Party robbed him of the nomination that he should have gotten, that the party bosses ensured that in various states that he didn't get the nomination, not because the people didn't want them, but because they didn't want him. Fast forward to 1914. Yeah, and you have this, this independent sort of Rooseveltesque candidate for governor, and he hands out a pamphlet in essence to announce his support. And as part of it, he blasts the party bosses and in particular William Barnes and in particular he felt Barnes was, I don't want to say single handedly, but the leader of the movement against him in 1912 and so he blasts the party boss system, which the biggest thing about it back then was that senators were not elected directly by the people. It was the state legislature often controlled by the bosses that picked who the senators were. And so Roosevelt was decrying that system and talking about the need for someone much more independent minded to be the candidate for governor. And that's what led to this. He accused Barnes of being corrupt. My goodness, the word corrupt back then.
HEFFNER: To our audience, it was a rather tame assessment of Barnes. There was no expletives, there was no…
ABRAMS: There was no personal attacks.
HEFFNER: Yeah, there was no ad hominem, vindictive attack like the kind we see on Twitter today from politicians.
ABRAMS: No. It was just basically saying, it was accusing Barnes of in effect, being in cahoots with the head of the Democratic Party and saying they're trying to retain power so that senators aren't elected directly by the people. And that was the essence of his argument. But you know, look, he'd made similar comments in the past, and again, this is political talk, this guy's corrupt, this guy, he will … And so it was I think stunning to everyone, including those around Barnes, that he decided to file this lawsuit against Roosevelt.
HEFFNER: Is there any question about whether he's going to comply with the legal mandate? It sounds like no from what I read.
ABRAMS: Yes.
HEFFNER: He was, he saw the suit and he was there.
ABRAMS: He was there. He was ready. He was ready to defend this case. And I think for him this was an opportunity to defend his legacy. I mean this trial was about much more than a libel case.
HEFFNER: Vindication of Bull Moose…
ABRAMS: Vindication of Bull Moose,
HEFFNER: Of his third party run.
ABRAMS: And vindication of his longstanding hatred, resentment towards this sort of party boss controlled system, which by the way, he was resentful of even before he became president. Remember, one of the things that happened when he was governor of New York was that they, the bosses pushed him to run to become vice president. Why? They wanted them out of the governorship. They wanted him in a know-nothing job as vice president so that they could again have someone they picked as governor of New York and Roosevelt reluctantly agreed and low and behold, he becomes president shortly thereafter.
So I think that was his goal in defending this. And you know he spent eight days on the witness stand.
HEFFNER: Right. Let's talk about the trial. So initially it would be designated for Albany, that jurisdiction, but it's moved to Syracuse because Roosevelt who has busted corruption is not, does not think he's going to get a fair shake.
ABRAMS: Wasn't that amazing. Think about it that. The former president of the United States is saying, I can't get a fair trial in, in a city because the other guy's so powerful there, because it shows you the control, right? Barnes. Albany, Capitol of New York. Barnes was so powerful in Albany. He controlled the biggest newspaper there. He was the player in town and the court agreed. Theodore Roosevelt can't get a fair trial in Albany, so we need to move this case. And they moved it to Syracuse, New York and Roosevelt moved his life for six weeks out of Long Island, six hours away, to defend this case.
HEFFNER: His suit would be by today's standard frivolous or thrown out.
ABRAMS: Totally. It would be thrown out.
HEFFNER: What were the respective arguments and how were they contextualized in the history of Alien and Sedition and the fact that, you know, libelous speech then was more curtailed and legally unjustified than it is today.
ABRAMS: Yeah. So, so back then, just the fact that he'd called Barnes corrupt, the trial starts with the plaintiff basically saying, these are the comments that were made. They call a witness who says, yes, I was the person who handed it out. And you hear the defense lawyers then say, well, you know, they haven't shown that necessarily what he said was of and about Barnes, cause really all they have to show back then was it was defamatory. He distributed it. And it was of and about the defendant. If they could prove those things, the burden shifted to Roosevelt to prove it was true.
And the defense attorneys are sort of playing these games and saying, well, maybe it wasn't about Barnes And so the, the attorney for the plaintiff for Barnes says, fine, let's call him Mr. Roosevelt to the stand. Mr. Roosevelt was, this of and about Mr. Barns. Yes. Okay. Game on. I mean that was it. Roosevelt was not, and that's the, that's one of the great things about Teddy Roosevelt. He was a straight shooter. He wasn't going to play games. He didn't come up to Syracuse, New York to muck around with, oh well, you know, maybe I meant this. Yes, I said this about Barnes and I meant it. And then immediately the burden shifts to the defense, which by the way, and fundamentally different than today because of New York Times versus Sullivan,
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: In 1964 fundamentally changed the legal standard for someone who's a public figure. So the reason this would get dismissed is because back then all you had to show – defamatory of an about the person distributed or you know, made by the person, et cetera.
Now you'd have to show that the person who made the comments knew or should've known in effect, that it wasn't true. And that's a much harder standard to overcome. And that's why the case like this would certainly get dismissed before trial. And this is why there were more libel suits back then. I mean, you know, you're talking about an era, which is just post the duels. I mean, you know, libels were really serious stuff. Abraham Lincoln almost gotten a duel in the 1840s over something. He and his wife had written in a newspaper under a pseudonym. I mean, duels were common things based on libel.
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: And we're now in the period just post the duels where people are really bringing these cases to court in the last 40 years or so. And so, that, and you saw a lot of libel cases back then, but not a lot against the former president of the United States.
HEFFNER: Was it the first time you could record that a former president was to, had to face this kind of scrutiny?
ABRAMS: In a trial, yeah, I mean, you know, there were other, there had been other high profile cases there had been other efforts to, you know, to sue candidates. Ulysses Grant testified in a case post his presidency, but it wasn't an accusation against him.
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: So this was about theater Roosevelt. And I think it's one of the reasons we were so surprised this became kind of a footnote to history was you had this, this case where Theodore Roosevelt is on the stand for eight days. Franklin Roosevelt walks into the courtroom and testifies on behalf of Theodore Roosevelt even though he was a Democrat, all this great stuff. And somehow it became relegated to kind of a footnote, which is part of the reason that we were so excited about having this 4,000-page transcript of the entirety of the trial.
HEFFNER: The rhetoric here, it's tamer than the infamous scribblers in the Jefferson era. I mean, if you remember how Jefferson and Adams feuded over that presidential election. That got even more personal. And that's why I was surprised to the degree that this political boss…
ABRAMS: Yeah,
HEFFNER: Would have been so offended because accusations of corruption are in the tradition…
ABRAMS: Yeah, Yeah.
HEFFNER: …of American political theater and, and the lexicon…
ABRAMS: And they're in the same political party,
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: I mean, that's the thing is Barnes and Roosevelt, you know, look, Roosevelt, as we talked about, sort of took the Republican Party and started his own, but in the end he was still a Republican.
HEFFNER: He is accusing Barnes and the New York state GOP of an alliance between crooked business and crooked politics, which resonated in contemporary light because we have a president who espouses the idea of crooked politics and he, like that era's GOP, is in incest with kind of corporate greed. And machinations. How did you find this case relevant to thinking about litigation surrounding the presidency going forward from this point in the future? You say, you know, there are two important Supreme Court precedents. One is that the president can't be criminally liable when he's serving in office. But prior to that, the precedent for folks who engage in speech against public officers is largely being protected.
ABRAMS: Yeah.
HEFFNER: So how did you see this in a historical and contemporary light?
ABRAMS: Now look: the most important thing is it's amazing how relevant Roosevelt's critiques are today. He's talking about money and politics. He's talking about the fact that corporate, corporations are, you know, making allies out of politicians to try and get their stuff through, he's talking about in effect, lobbying. I mean these are the same issues that we face today. And so I think that's first and foremost the most striking thing about this.
But, I think the second thing is that it really was comparatively tame, what, you know, your point that, you know, this was just political talk. The idea that this ended up going to trial shows you how different the law is today in the area of libel than it was then. You know, there was really, I mean, the defense tried to get the case dismissed, but it was a tough argument to get a libel case dismissed. I mean, they had something called libel per se, which effectively meant if it's defamatory, if it says something more akin to British law today, if, if you say something that's going to defame someone, I'm going to bring them down in the, you know, public estimation, etc. You can get sued over it and then you have to prove it was true. That can be tricky for a defendant. So.
HEFFNER: Do you think the viciousness of today's rhetoric is it attributed to the fact that those defamation suits largely don't go forward now?
ABRAMS: I don't think it's directly related to the law. President Trump would argue that it is President Trump has talked about changing the libel laws. We need to make them tougher, so to speak. But remember, that's not about the laws. That's about the Supreme Court decision on this. You know, the Supreme Court would have to overturn New York Times versus Sullivan.
HEFFNER: Did Justice Thomas say that he might be open to that possibility?
ABRAMS: Yes, yes he did.
HEFFNER: I mean, largely the Senate majority leader and Republican allies stay mum.
ABRAMS: Yeah.
HEFFNER: When Trump will say something that is antithetical to our present reality like that.
ABRAMS: Yep.
HEFFNER: But if we were there in that era, there was no reason that amidst the rise of authoritarianism globally and that kind of rhetoric that, you know, the laws could change.
ABRAMS: Well look, you know, the strongest argument is to say it's kind of what the British system is, you know, that we could move more towards the British system. The argument against it is that we have a First Amendment and that the First Amendment ensures more protections here than in other places.
HEFFNER: And the commerce of Internet today in effect, guarantees these companies that have sprung up as the new generation: e-commerce, social media. They wouldn't be there if it wasn't for that ironclad Abrams protection. Right. I mean, those businesses couldn't operate in the same way they do today.
ABRAMS: Well, look, I mean, and you know, and the law for example, with all of these you know, places like, you know, Facebook and Instagram and any place where you can, and in fact, look, I have a, a website called Mediaite. I mean if I was responsible for every comment that someone made, I could get sued every day. People make false and defamatory comments in my comment sections all the time. And that's why I refer to Facebook is people make… Now, if you are not making it in the context of, for example, a comment section, there could be a lawsuit. Meaning if I'm on my Facebook page, I defame you and I say something false and defamatory about you, you could still sue me. If I say it on Twitter, you can still sue me. People forget that. That you know, just because it's social media doesn't mean you're immune. That's different than talking about, for example, a comment section where if they can identify the comment or that person could get sued. But the entity and your question about the sort of the entities themselves can't get sued unless there's some indication that you know they are in effect in control of everything being said.
HEFFNER: Dan, because you are an authority on T.R. and also contemporary legal order and investigations, where is this president most vulnerable?
ABRAMS: The biggest concern for Trump would be the state investigation for example, in New York State. Because of, you know, he did a lot of business here has charities here, et cetera. The idea that Trump has, let's assume he doesn't get reelected, that he's going to be put in cuffs on January, 2020, 2021 I think is a pipe dream.
HEFFNER: Oh sure.
ABRAMS: For those on the left. So, you know, you separate out criminal and civil, right? I don't think he's going to likely face any criminal action. Although, by the way, people forget the campaign finance violation that Michael Cohen is now serving time for, according to the U.S. Attorneys in the Southern District of New York, they believe it was ordered by Donald Trump. That would be a crime. Now, is that the most egregious crime in the world? No. Is there a defense? Yes, but the fact that they in their sentencing memorandum about Cohen made it clear, they think he committed this crime is kind of astonishing.
Putting aside the Mueller report for a moment. So and then there's the civil side, he's facing a lot of civil lawsuits. And I think a couple of them in particular, one woman who's accusing him of defamation for calling her a liar about something that she said happened with him, is going to move forward and he's either going to have to settle or he's going to have to testify at some point or another.
HEFFNER: What about that dynamic when a citizen is suing a public official for defamation?
ABRAMS: But see…
HEFFNER: How.
ABRAMS: But this wasn't when this wasn't, but Trump's not, he wasn't making it in his, in his sort of public capacity.
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: He was just insulting her personally.
HEFFNER: Right, right.
ABRAMS: And this goes back to insulting someone on Twitter, right. You can be sued for that.
HEFFNER: And the Knight Institute here at Columbia sued the president for blocking folks on Twitter because in effect, he makes nominations on Twitter, he makes public statements on Twitter that are tantamount to press releases and executive decisions that we' read about in the history book like this, that you'd go back to the archives and read Trump tweets for the newest information about his appointments and policy.
ABRAMS: Yeah. And so, yeah, look, the reality is that the president is using Twitter in both a personal and professional capacity and anyone who, for example, let's say a lawyer who sends out a threatening note to their contractor on their law firm stationary knows that, you know, you're going to get, you can get in trouble for that. You want to use your law firm stationary you're implying that that came from the law firm. It's a similar issue here, which is he's the President of the United States.
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: And this is his Twitter account,
HEFFNER: And I know you said that it's somewhat implausible that the Emoluments suit could go forward in a meaningful way,
ABRAMS: But it's already been dismissed…
HEFFNER: Right In one… Not totally though.
ABRAMS: Yeah, correct.
HEFFNER: But you know, if you think about presidents, it's not liberal presidents, but moderate conservative presidents, even Nixon, one of his in effect his inspirations. Eisenhower, certainly Truman, Roosevelt, if you think about presidents, they would be appalled at the definitive findings of the Mueller report and the absence of any clear declaration of Mueller's mandate to investigate that what I referred to before, that pipeline between Trump enterprise and Russia. And it hasn't been proven authoritatively or legally that that existed. But Mueller also wasn't asked by those congressmen and senators you know, really what about the idea that this person that was elected president is beholden to non American interests. And, I just think that Roosevelt and those subsequent presidents that I mentioned would be very concerned about the betrayal or abandonment of American interests.
ABRAMS: Well look, there are some significant similarities between Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt and Trump. And there are some significant differences. And one of the major differences is that Teddy Roosevelt cared enormously about probity and truth and he cared enormously about giving the people a straight deal. And there not being even a whiff of impropriety on the part of the president and its elected officials. He took that stuff really seriously. And so, yeah, on this issue, he would definitely be concerned about, you know, the put you know, the optics and the reality of, you know, what actually may have happened. But again, I think, I think you may be too focused on Trump himself. Meaning I think there's more of an argument that there ought to be an investigation into those around the president and their potentially being influenced by foreign governments because they're the ones in President Trump's ear. I mean, you know, this idea that, again, you have Paul Manafort at the time was the campaign manager, sharing polling data with you know, a key Russian. That's just the tip of the iceberg. And so I think that those are questions that that need to be answered.
HEFFNER: We recently hosted University of Missouri professor and authority on impeachment, Frank Bowman. And he was defining narrowly, crimes and misdemeanors. And you know, the framers had a very specific idea of treason and it had to do with war. But those who acknowledge the hacking of the DNC today, not in 2016 are aware of the fact that that is war. Kathleen Hall Jamieson wrote a whole book about cyber war analogous to the tactics of war. So the mandate of treason and if Mueller had played his cards differently, you know, both looking at the advisers and Trump himself, we might be in a different conversation right now about probity as it comes to who serves in the office. But I wanted to ask you this final question. As you look at law and the impact of law on 2020 and whether we really get a fair and free election in 2020 are where are you most focused on, you know, this, this interaction between the candidates and the voters and the respective campaigns. Because what happened with Russia and the infiltration of the DNC was akin to Watergate, drip, drip, drip. How can, how can the law protect us in 2020?
ABRAMS: I don't know that the law per se… law enforcement has to protect us. The law itself can't. It's illegal. What they did is illegal. Okay. There've been 25 Russians indicted in two indictments, 13 and 12 for what they did to us; none of them are coming back. So it has to be law enforcement that is protecting us. It has to be that we are even more vigilant this time around, that we don't allow a foreign government to try to influence the election. And while there has been foot dragging on this in the congress, law enforcement's taking this stuff seriously. Listen to Chris Wray, the head of the FBI. He's, look, he may not, he's on it. Does that mean we're safe and nothing's going to happen? Of course not. But my point is law enforcement is taking this really seriously, even if the president and maybe even the Senate majority leaders is not.
HEFFNER: Are you looking at anything else, Dan, in terms of voting rights and the mechanisms that are at work to prevent people from voting?
ABRAMS: You know, look, I, I'm looking at hopefully no more false accusations of voter fraud. I think the fact that we're still talking about the, you know, the president is still suggesting that there may have been voter fraud or that there was voter fraud, is very destructive to faith in our voting system. So, so the, the main things that I'm focused on are the big picture stuff. You know, it's not the sort of minor, well, you know, in this district they had a problem. It's about; I want to make sure they don't get into our voting systems.
HEFFNER: Right.
ABRAMS: That they tried to do it in 2016. That's my, A one concern. Number two, I want to make sure they don't hack into anyone else's, you know, emails that are relevant, into a party and to get somebody to win. You know, that's scary stuff. So I'm really looking at it more from 10,000 feet than sort of as from down on the ground at as much.
HEFFNER: Well, those are critical questions, Dan. Thank you for being here and continuing this tradition.
ABRAMS: It was great to be here. Really fun.
HEFFNER: Thank you Dan. And thanks to you in the audience. I hope you join us again next time for a thoughtful excursion into the world of ideas. Until then, keep an open mind.

Several years ago, I had, what I now know was a nervous breakdown. That was one of the reasons that I quit having fun on my blog, being a good friend to many of you, being good to myself and just generally being a bit of an old poop. I didn't think I deserved to be part of anything outside of the bare minimum here at home. Some days it was too much to even be a good Oma, fix dinner, clean the house, or do any "arting" at all. It was a very dry, lonely, self imposed prison sentence.
No surprise, during this depression, I developed real and some not real health issues. I gained weight, my blood pressure increased, I thought I would pass away soon and this was the darkest period of my life.
All that is in the past, I am, because of some wisdom that came into my life just in the nick of time, on a different path. I see hope, I feel valid, I can once again be a part of the life that occurs around me.
In the past 5 days a huge change has happened in my physicality. I'm on a very strict food regime for anti swelling. It is very much like the gout cleanse diet. No beef, organ meat, oatmeal, fried food, fish, shellfish, alcohol, caffeine, limited salt and sugar, or carbonated drinks. My feet have begun to shrink (like crazy) and the pain is so much less. Tart cherry juice, celery seed pills and a prescription have all made this possible. Things is lookin' up, ya'll. My fibro pain has also decreased.
My family has, as always, been super supportive, caring and during that time, they learned not to push me and to be gentle with me. I know that it all was very hard for all of them. They were rock stars, especially the grands. They picked up the slack, babysat me when I was very, very low and kept my sense of humor in tact. Both of those youngun's are going to be amazing grown ups.
So now the new/old me is looking for trouble to get into again. I've been working on my gardens, decorating the outdoor spaces and making a macrame art piece for the front patio, which I will post photos of soonest. I have also been working on gypsy curtains for the dining room. Lots of lace, crochet pieces and vintage napkins, dresser scarves and other cutwork are all being combined to make these curtains. Damn Pinterest and all the ideas I have gotten from that site.
The grands and Shelley are on vacation with Brian and his girls in Oklahoma and Texas. They went rafting, visited with his extended family and the Cuckoos got to meet Brian's parents in Oklahoma and then they will go on to Dallas to attend Warped Tour, go to a water park or amusement park of their choosing and then come home to packing and moving into their new (spectacular) home.
I'm tired for them. Good thing they are all young, healthy and crazy.
So there is the background for the new craziness I hope to perpetrate here on Blogger (thanks Ms. M). I'm tired of not staying in touch with all of you and sharing some fun. Let me know how you are doing. I miss you very much.
Smooches and Squoozes,
Oma Linda

"Ah, ah, ah. I don't think you want to try that missy." David smirked while taking another selfie.
Melissa couldn't believe what was happening. As her body moved on it's own and taunted her while it took photos; she felt nothing but contempt. Her therapist had promised to help her with some unwanted imagery that kept popping up out of nowhere and by using 'meditation' he somewhat achieved that. Of course, other things seemed to be happening as well. She did things randomly and said things that weren't at all what she intended. Her attitude became more assertive and she even scared away her boyfriend after he tried grabbing her ass.
Things went from bad to worse though as she started waking up next to her female friends, reeking of booze with absolutely no recollection of how she ended up naked in their bedrooms. She would get angry when guys hit on her, and she would forget details about her own life suddenly. Everything went to a full stop when her body began moving on its own. Whatever was going on was way worse than unwanted thoughts or flashing mental images. "I really should thank you. Being trapped in your subconscious was quite boring." David said while admiring his body.
The guy who took over Melissa's body was apparently her inner male. A shadow version of herself that wanted to fully take over. And while she had no desire to be male, that didn't matter to David. Her therapy sessions unleashed him from his prison and he was waiting to put a lid on her control over this body permanently.

Sample APA Paper with Saturn Retrograde
This APA paper explores the unique tips and hints of Saturn and its effects on public culture. The author argues when Saturn rewards approximately every single 30 years, tradition takes a sentimental return to another time our planet repeated this kind of alignment. The following sociology essay or dissertation was put into writing at the undergraduate level like a sample with respect to the Ultius blog.
Online video Killed the Radio Star: The Resurgence in Retro
Appreciation and commitment to classic styles and behaviors is not only just a inverted social audio on constant progress, or possibly a treasuring for this mythologized loved past, and yet a completion of a in depth psychological ought to reverence the completion of cycles in life (even Ultius does have a lifecycle). The necessity of ritual has been divorce from present-day culture in the hopes of materializing the mind into the matrix of boundless expansion capitalism. However , also within the constraints of this ever-tightening matrix, persons around the world have formulated their own periods of ritual to preserve their internal peace, disclose their divergent values, and resist the fixation concerning the future for the annihilation in all things previous and present.
Return in Saturn
The present decade's give back of Saturn in celebration of all those who were made during the era of the 1980s, thirty years backwards. As such, the 80s became idyllic events, which the design, music, and culture more recently seeks to emblemize. This is certainly seen, have been told, and enjoyed through the excitement from New Old style Wave beats which (often called Synthwave) is music created at this time with the equipment and styles of the 80s. That music comes available for purchase by Bandcamp. atraves de, and Newretrowave. com, and some of the most up-to-date representatives of the style are: Le Cassette, Foret sobre Vin, Freeweights, Love regarding Laserdisc, Compilerbau, Electric Being young, Mitch Homicide, 20Six 100, and Meteor. The benefits styles of music artists from this period, and the restricts of the technology (VHS, monitoring issues, missing, fading, etc . ) will be celebrated from the New Classic Wave literaturform.
One solid example of this is actually short Swedish film Kung Fury. His passion child from 30s a little something return of Saturn commemorating Andy Sandberg (who said, directed, and starred inside the film), the following English-language film pays damaging homage into the action mission films of your 1980s (Kung Fury). 1980s icon, Steve Hasselhoff, performs in gameplay the idea song on the film 'True Survivor which features the verve, macho heart, and strong pounding bass of which defines these months. Kung Fury features the hilarious and violent uses of a demonic video game been on a crazed killing pander, Hackerman, lazer raptors, Thor, and Fury's partner Tricericop all having time travel Hitler (Kung Fury). As the film is sure to surprise any one, the amazing 80s riffs provides anyone attack during the several years into spirals of memory.
Serious about film? Pay for a movie critique.
This is practically all based on the strong mental health and religious urge to indicate the finale of the step of the Profit of Saturn. This astrology process is usually described as,
This is when the world Saturn comes back to meet your natal Saturn. It takes about 29. your five years in this slow-mover to return to where it was when you were definitely born. The Saturn come hits back in the twenties, is actually impact is in fact felt into your early thirties. (Hall)
Consequently, the site again of Saturn is predominated by a good feeling of arriving again to where 1 was at their beginning. For many of us this is experienced as a long sense of nostalgia, each thirty years way of life collectively goes to celebrate and reboot the decade that was 3 before the idea.
Astronomically, the return of Saturn is actually a 'wake-up involve those people who was probably coasting without conscious thought through their particular lives on hands-off. While there happen to be dark and light aspects to every major habit change time, the coming back of Saturn is often a call up to embrace adulthood, and then to grow up. Those who can easily balance the role of adulthood although still playfully including all their eternal kid self will be the people just like Andy Sandberg, who was qualified to channel the following yearning to the 80s into a resourceful expression which inturn many people can easily resonate with. Those who cannot really embrace the message with the cycle's turn over may have a www.studybays.me/ very good bit of a emergency, and 'The U. T. Census reports a top of divorce cases around old age 30 (Hall). This period can be described as time of reassessment of how the values and habits will be aligned with one's heart, and depending on the man it is a time of celebration or maybe a time of dread.
Retro Love
At this time the return from Saturn can be expressing itself as a resurgent love of the things antique. In the reception of the 1973s return, 'Vinyl sales topped 1 . being unfaithful million sections nationwide on 2008, some of the most in any holiday season since 1998, and took up another 33 percent just last year according to Nielsen SoundScan, the required source of sales records utilized by the music enterprise (Graves). This return boasts seen the necessity for cassette tapes to remain created. One of many desires designed for the cassette represents the will for reduction and struggle which has been eliminated with the current ease of technology.
With the cassette, one need to wait for the tunes to progress, and physically switch the tape over the continue music. The act in rewinding or fast-forwarding presents itself ridiculously prolonged to those who own used CDs, and is off the charts when you compare to SONGS action. Nonetheless this constraint is what lots of people are yearning for. With limitation comes a weaker pace, forced relaxation, and a sense of getting taken care of by means of things that can be out of a person's control. The nearly boundless expanse of choice and chance for experience with stylish MP3 handheld music devices offer at this time can often be responsible for a ceaseless desire for something diffrent, something considerably more, what's future, and can gather one right out the present moment in time experience of enjoying the music as a consequence of how easy it is to change it out. Relating to records,
Or more, the very idea that records will have to be changed as well as flipped commonly leads to hearing experiences which can be more purposeful— more of some thing that's qualified, and treasured on a higher-level, and not while something purely relegated into the background. (Graves)
During your time on st. kitts is much that they are logically says for why records contain resurged (sound quality, yearbook art, etc . ) there is less to a logical push for cassettes. Unlike the quality of records, which surpass AUDIO and CD DISK, "With cassettes, you have almost all these sounds folded onto some 1/8-inch magnet tape', says Teenage Great Kids guitarist Andrew Savage. ' The proper sound you try to quickly pull on there, better you have to contest with tape hiss' (Graves). This is an example of sheer nostalgia filling out the interruptions of actual quality, to represent the desire of the fact that current keep coming back of Saturn individuals experience for 'touching their background.
Cassettes have a very good unique look and shape. They are simply packed into a little vinyl box which will holds almost all these secrets of sound linked to the first beats 30 somethings bought by themselves. Also, harkening back to limitation, if a kid was heading out on their bike, or going to school because of their cassette bettor (invariably Sony) and headphones (one factor no one really wants to go back to the quality of the 80s thanks to Doctor Dre's Beats) they would get faced with the limitation showing how many cassettes they could convey with all of them. The limitation of space would have to have a commitment from what beats one would tune in to for the entire morning ,, which might often construct somewhat to a soundtrack during. The multiplicity of choices today just a bit inhibit the following feature via the sheer the nature of possibilities available at the touch from the screen. Authorities also suggests;
On the more open level, yet , cassette's revitalization is based on cultural implications that, in some sectors, are more significant than that this end product looks or sound effects. Tapes are definitely the modern-day embodiment of the underground DIY ethic that was first so widespread in the nineteen eighties and first 1990s, and led to the achievements of bands like Sonic Earlier days. (Graves)
The DIY motion has never progressed away, but found a pointy resurgence in the 21st century due simply to the great cheapening and homogenizing in all things within banner in unlimited dominion capitalism. Though those who assist the plan claim further progression offers larger choices, the truth appears to be the opposite, as the comparable crap products are beginning to be found in many commercial chains. Everyone is frustrated that everything costs more and more even though being lesser and lesser quality and reliable. This did not include the case from the 80s, plus the DIY movements harkens into when genuine investments can be made (Sokol).
Those who are going to hunt for retro/vintage items, or make it themselves are rejecting the easy/cheap commodification of traditions (Kasprzak). Because psychologist Jennifer Baumgartner showcases;
The psychology for the vintage pay for is multilayered. Often the push is fueled by the eagerness of the search for. It is easy to uncover current sections in your local mall as well as online blog, but looking for the best vintage can be an unparalleled hold dear hunt. Plus the beauty for this process usually you will never know what you will find or maybe learn. (Baumgartner)
Retro Aesthetic
This is what retro-minded people are combat against-the losing mystery as well as the many choices which come on the unknown. This really is a reaction up against the current preoccupation with technology which is planning to know whatever. While there is in fact undoubtable appeal in the mapping of the whole human genome, there is also unparalleled risk inside power that awareness enables-such simply because super, globe killing malware. The vintage aesthetic is furthermore a meaningful aesthetic which inturn does not fear a lack of headlong progress, still is at ease with the slow pace in life which usually enables the enjoyment of discoveries, and hopefully the growth in wisdom which will make them less hazardous.
The difficulty of appreciating different ones and approaches of antique stem entirely back in the place Saturn was each time a person appeared. The ineffable and all-encompassing vibe of that particular as well as place, and the peers who also are the sole ones able of understanding it happens to be like a psychological time skin. This disassociation has been found lately when J. N. Abrams and George Lucas disagree completely on the guidance of the freshest Star Conflicts: The Force Awakens. Any one familiar with Abrams style has not been surprised through very vintage style of the new adaption, but Lucas encountered it undesirable (Telegraph Film). However , Lucas created the film franchise with an worshiping eye on the future, and Abrams provides it with an women to celebrate bygone times. It is miserable that these two creative geniuses could not obtain agreement in their mutual have a passion for of the editorial, but concerning people today it is difficult to find long term contract on far.

This give back of Saturn has been a joyous smorgasbord from music, pleasure, and fashion for those who have never really grown from the circus-like-riot for this 80s. Your yearning for the purpose of culture to slow down is simply celebrated just by those who participate in the BUILD IT YOURSELF of their necessities, and the up coming iteration among the 1990s' come back with will definitely involve some surprises.

Lpks 0205 Pan Cake Slip Ring With Through Bore 46 0mm Manufacturer - Chinaprice: contact company for price
A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires
unrestrained, continuous rotation while transferring power or data from
a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring is also called a rotary
electrical interface, collector, swivel or a commutator. A slip ring can
improve system performance by simplifying operations and eliminating
damage- prone wires dangling from movable joints.
The 46.0mm unobstructed through- bore provides routing space for
hydraulics, pneumatics or for a concentric shaft mount. The LPKS- 0205
Pan Cake Slip Ring uses advanced fiber brush technology which offers
several advantages over conventional slip ring contacts including
multiple points of contact per brush bundle, low contact force per fiber
and low contact wear rates. In addition, fiber brushes do not require
lubrication and produce virtually no wear debris.

How to File a Car Insurance Claim
Getting the car of your dreams using your salary is one of the achievements you are proud of attaining. Since you now own a car, have you thought of getting car insurance to protect you and your vehicle from future accidents? In some states, car insurance is necessary.
When you file for car insurance, the process can be easy if you know the things you should do. You should have your documents prepared beforehand. After that, follow the tips below so you will see what you should do when you file for a car insurance claim.
Make insurance information accessible
During accidents, you are prone to panic when looking for insurance information that you need. Take time to write emergency contact details during your free times; you'll never know when these details might come in handy. Better be prepared.
Take note of accurate information
When you got involved in an accident, whether you're at fault or not, you will surely file for a claim from your insurance company. Take note of the data, including the plate number of the vehicle, of the other driver who got in the same accident. When your company asks for the details, you have them on hand already.
File complaints
As soon as you can, file a report to the nearest police headquarter. Insurance claims require police reports before giving you a lump sum of the amount as your benefit. If you're at fault and the other driver already filed a complaint, do not worry because your insurance got you covered.
Inform insurance company immediately
I'm sure that you have read all the terms stated in your coverage. When an accident occurs, make sure that you inform your insurance company right away. Tell them the complete details of the accident. Ask them things you should need to be able to have your claim.
Have proper documentation
Take photos of the accident, if you can. Moreover, you can also keep the receipts of everything you have spent on related to the accident, from towing bills to medical bills in some cases. Your insurers will require necessary documents, make sure you have them.
When accidents happen on the road, you will be seeking for help. One advantage of having car insurance if you have protection in times of accident; you can have a financial backup in the form of your coverage.

I can see lots of areas that are in the water. Some caves and stuff look like they will need a boat or need link to swim or something. When i jump into the water he drowns. There must be something that allows link to jump into the water and swim though. How do i do it?
1 Answer
You will find the item that lets you move through the water in one of the temples. Zelda games are great for giving you the items you need when you need them. IF you think the way forward is through the water than you are not going the right way. Wait until you get to the water temple before you start to worry about finding this item.

TRADE ALERT: Ottawa Senators get the dealing started by sending Dylan DeMelo to the Winnipeg Jets
The wheeling and dealing has started for Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion.
The Senators traded defenceman Dylan DeMelo to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2020 NHL draft Tuesday afternoon and he won't have to wait long to see his former teammates. DeMelo is expected to suit up in his first game against his former team Thursday night when they face off at the Canadian Tire Centre.
The decision to deal DeMelo in exchange for a pick in the third-round gives the Senators seven picks in the first three rounds of what's considered a strong draft. The club now has two first-rounders at the NHL's draft in June, three picks in the second round and two in the third now that they've added the one they got in exchange for DeMelo.
Moved here as part of the deal that sent Erik Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks in Sept, 2018, DeMelo is a unrestricted free agent on July 1. He wasn't caught off guard by the deal and when he saw a phone call from Dorion Tuesday as he was preparing to take on the Buffalo Sabres at night he knew that his career with the club was likely over.
"I'm kind of (in) limbo right now. We're playing the Senators Thursday so I don't know if I'm going to leave now or I'm going to hang on here and wait until tomorrow," DeMelo told Postmedia from his Ottawa home. "I'm not surprised, when you're a week out you kind of see it progressing that way in regards to a trade possibly happening.
"I was just going through my routine, getting ready to play tonight against Buffalo and got the call and as soon as I saw that Pierre was calling I kind of had the idea that I was traded. That being said, I'm looking forward to an opportunity with a team right in the thick of the race for a playoff spot. We played them recently, it's a really good team and they've got some really good pieces up front with a good goaltender, a good back end a great coach.
"It's a good fit for me. With (Dustin) Byfuglien and (Jacob) Trouba being out, they've been talking about getting a defenceman, kind of all year. I'm happy they chose me and I'm hoping I can be that guy for them."
Though there was no formal exchange of offers between the two sides when it came to discussing a contract extension, DeMelo indicated there had been exploratory talks between Dorion and his London-based agent Brian MacDonald. Let's be honest, both sides would have had a pretty good idea what it would take to get a deal done even if offers hadn't been tabled.
The Senators have to make a decision on veteran defenceman Mark Borowiecki this summer while the club already has Erik Brannstrom and Christian Wolanin pencilled into spots next year. It's quite possible that University of North Dakota draft pick Jacob Bernard-Docker could turn pro this summer and he's expected to be in the top four down the road.
It's unlikely the Senators were willing to commit to DeMelo long-term even if he has been a good fit on the club's blueline with Thomas Chabot. Both sides knew where they stood in these discussions and the sense is they weren't on the same page.
"I was a little surprised we didn't get more talks going but at the same time I understand that they need to do what's best for the team," said DeMelo. "I definitely would have entertained an offer to stay in Ottawa but unfortunately we weren't able to work something out."
DeMelo said he knows what a great opportunity he has by joining the Jets.
"I'm a UFA at the end of the year, and to get to play in some meaningful games down the stretch with a team fighting for a playoff spot with an organization I think very highly of with Paul Maurice, is a great opportunity," said DeMelo. "There's a lot of good pieces for this team to be good for a long time. I just got traded there, I'm not going to talk long-term, but on the surface I'm really excited for the opportunity."
Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said he had been watching DeMelo for awhile.
"We've really liked his progression over time and what he's become with his growth as a player and his development," he said. "We were in the market for a defenceman. We stepped up all those efforts and as you can see there were multiple trades today."
In a statement, Dorion wished DeMelo all the best in Winnipeg.
"On behalf of the organization, I'd like to thank Dylan DeMelo for his two seasons in Ottawa," Doroion said. "Dylan is a high character individual and a reliable defenceman for whom we wish the best in Winnipeg."

China prepares for a manufacturing future beyond cheap labour
In an insightful feature in MIT Technology Review, Christina Larsen takes a closer look at the Suzhou Industrial Park near Shanghai – the product of joint investment by Singapore and China in the 1990s and the specific case of Singapore-based supply chain solutions firm Flextronics.
The company refocused its two Suzhou factories on more complex manufacturing, aiming to make higher-priced machines for the aerospace, robotics, automotive, and medical industries. To do so, Flextronics has invested in automation, increasingly precise manufacturing, and improved worker training, all while learning to manage a complicated component supply chain.
And that decision should concern western companies that comfort themselves with the notion that China remains simply a low-cost mass production economy. Nothing, at least in Suzhou, could be further from the truth.
Rather Flextronics is reaping the benefits from both advanced high-tech automation AND lower costs.
Flextronics has pursued automation wherever it has the potential to reduce labor costs and errors. For example, automated optical testing equipment, which checks that the circuitry on printed circuit boards is correct before they are installed in other machines, has cut the number of workers on the inspection line from six to two.
But as product cycles speed up, it doesn't always make sense to make large investments in robots. Humans are still more flexible. "The time you have to spend changing the machine means it's not always worthwhile to automate," says Es Khor, an engineering director at the factory. "When we look for where to automate, we also look for process-specific, rather than just product-specific, tasks.
And all this in combination with partnerships in the West, such as one with a French robotics firm working in the medical field.
So while the French robot line may be creating the health-care assistants of the future, at the moment the robots are being assembled by 28 workers wearing navy blue uniform smocks, mostly young men from rural China.
