Although much effort has been made to educate consumers about cancer genetics information, Deaf individuals whose linguistic preference is American Sign Language (ASL) are at a disadvantage to learning this information because it is predominantly available in spoken or print English. This is significant because it suggests that Deaf individuals are at risk for cancer genetics-related health disparities, and will have poorer outcomes compared to hearing individuals, even though the expected prevalence of cancer, including cancer conditions with a strong genetic component does not differ between deaf and hearing populations. Through an academic-community partnership model that embraces a web-based information services approach, this research dissemination project begins to address the disparity in access to cancer genetics information experienced by Deaf individuals whose linguistic preference is ASL. For this project, an evidence-based English language NCI-funded cancer genetics educational intervention shown to improve knowledge outcomes in English-language populations will be culturally and linguistically tailored for use in a population whose linguistic preference is ASL, with input from focus groups and experts. The education intervention will present information in a bilingual format (ASL videos with English captioning or text: ASL+English) and will be evaluated using a randomized, controlled experiment with 100 Deaf individuals whose linguistic preference is ASL (a) to compare the effect of a bilingual (ASL+English) education intervention on comprehension and attitudes toward genetic services compared to a monolingual format (English text only);and (b) to identify subgroups who may particularly benefit from receiving cancer genetic information in a bilingual format. The cancer genetics education material will be disseminated through DeafMD.org, a non-profit website that provides healthcare information for the Deaf community using a bilingual format. A post-dissemination evaluation will be conducted to evaluate a range of outcomes regarding use of the intervention. This proposal is unique because it involves partnerships between deaf and hearing investigators, academia and the Deaf community, and researchers and an established website that aims to increase informed healthcare decisions among deaf people. This project will have a direct impact on the healthcare of an underserved population and, importantly, could lead to earlier and more effective intervention and efficient healthcare. Our project's focus on the Deaf community directly addresses a priority need, as articulated in the R25 Cancer Research Education Grant description. That is, to develop effective innovative dissemination approaches to increase the adaptation of evidence-based preventive interventions to ethnically and linguistically diverse communities, with the goal of reducing health disparities in the Deaf community.
This project will increase the Deaf community's access to culturally and linguistically appropriate cancer genetics information and provide information on the effect of a bilingual format (ASL+English) on Deaf individuals'comprehension and attitudes toward genetic services. This research fills an important gap in knowledge about mechanisms and methods for addressing cancer genetic-related health disparities in the Deaf community.

Colorblind children encounter unseen challenges in the classroom
As a kindergartner at Green Acres Elementary in Lebanon, Ore., William Jeffrey Harding failed a scholastic aptitude test and was placed in special education. His parents, having observed their son's abilities, asked to see the test and discovered that the questions were color-based: "How many green crayons are in the picture? How many red?" But William is colorblind.
Though he was promptly reassigned to the appropriate classroom, Harding faced a series of challenges in school. When he colored with the wrong crayons, teachers thought he was being insubordinate. On St. Patrick's Day, he went home with bruises, having worn a brown shirt that looked perfectly green to his eyes.
"I can't tell the difference between green and brown and I often wonder if purple is a real thing," said Harding, 32, now a market researcher living in Seattle. "To me, my colors are the only colors."
An estimated one in 12 boys and one in 200 girls in the United States have a red-green color vision deficiency (CVD). This comes from a hereditary gene mutation that disables or alters some of the light-sensitive cone cells in their eyes, making it difficult to distinguish certain greens, reds, browns, oranges and yellows. While this is only a minor obstacle for most affected children, it does put them at a disadvantage in certain contexts – especially at school. Despite the prevalence of colorblindness, however, there are few systems in place to minimize the confusion and frustration that these students may experience in the classroom.
"Everything is color-coded in kindergarten," said Karen Rae Levine, who raised a colorblind son and wrote a book called "All About Colorblindness" to increase awareness among kids, teachers and parents about situations that are problematic for colorblind students.
Grade school educators often use colors to communicate concepts and organize their classroom space. When Levine discovered her son Andrew's color vision deficiency, she worked with his teachers to make adjustments such as changing the color-based system for marking the tables in the classroom. Instead of colors, they used shapes.
"Children don't know that they're colorblind, so they can't say to somebody, 'I don't understand that because I can't see the colors,'" said Levine. "To a four or five year old, they assume everybody sees the way they do, and so they think that they must be stupid."
To avoid misunderstandings in the classroom, teachers need to know which of their students are colorblind. Often, however, even parents do not know their children have color vision problems unless they have them tested at the doctor's office. Most states require school children to undergo vision screenings, but they focus primarily on the sharpness of their eyesight.
The National Association of School Nurses says "screening for color vision anomalies is important to a child's educational success and quality of life," but only 12 states require such tests. Children would only need to be screened once for colorblindness, and if they're not tested at school, they probably won't get tested at all, said James Bailey of the Southern California College of Optometry. "To me, it's a problem that's largely been overlooked."
Jeff Klein, an optometrist who helped rewrite Nebraska's vision screening guidelines, said color vision testing is not required in his state because colorblindness affects a small number of children and cannot be treated or corrected. The testing materials are also an added cost. Klein said Nebraska's new guidelines recommend but do not require color vision screening.
"There's always a significant pause before adopting anything that would be perceived as a mandate or an additional burden when it comes to something as specific as colorblindness screening," said Rachelle Chiang, a health policy associate at the National Association of State Boards of Education, which does not take a position on color vision screening. She said there are inconsistencies between the states on just about any education policy because of varying levels of tolerance among lawmakers for detailed mandates. And unlike bullying, school food and concussions, this issue hasn't been a priority for the public or for prominent advocacy organizations, Chiang said.
But without screening, teachers may misinterpret the difficulties colorblind students have on certain tasks as learning disabilities or behavioral problems and start treating them with lowered expectations, warns T.J. Waggoner of TestingColorVision.com, a website that offers information and sells a color vision test. "The first thing kids are learning in school is your colors. If you have trouble on those activities, are the teachers going to treat you differently?" he asked. Waggoner, who is colorblind, recalls being disciplined for cheating in school when he had to consult another student to identify the color of a solution in chemistry class.
A 2005 study conducted in Spain found that teachers who did not know which of their students had color vision deficiencies rated the colorblind children as less competent even though they performed just as well on tasks that did not rely on color vision. The study, which involved testing 1,039 pre-school students for colorblindness, reported that "in most cases the response of both parents and teachers to the diagnosis of a child's colour vision anomaly was one of surprise, even disbelief."
Even if teachers know which of their students have a color vision deficiency, they likely use materials that were not designed to be accessible to colorblind children. Researchers at the Technical University of Catalonia, also in Spain, examined 24 of the most commonly used textbooks for five to seven year old children in the region and found that 10 percent of the tasks in the math books "would be very difficult or impossible to solve" for colorblind students. The authors found that "efforts to design CVD-friendly teaching materials and resources are scarce." A search of the ERIC education research database indicates that this type of analysis has not been conducted for textbooks in the U.S.
Some textbook companies responded to the Spanish study, published in 2011, by labeling the relevant pages "not suitable for children with color deficiencies," according to study author and optometrist Genís Cardona. Other companies opted to change the tasks altogether. Using patterns, labeling with text and carefully choosing high contrast colors can usually fix the problem.
The bottom line, according to advocates, is that students need to be tested for color vision problems very early on. Not only would universal screening improve the educational experience of colorblind children, but it could also help them avoid hardship later on in life.
"I can't tell you the thousands of males that I have run across in my career who all they have ever wanted to do is be a police officer or firefighter," said Bailey of the Southern California College of Optometry, "and they're physically well qualified, they passed all the written exams, mental tests, et cetera. But the medical requirements for the job don't allow any deficiency of color vision, and all of a sudden they find out that they're colorblind."

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. The following email was forwarded to us by one of our members who wanted reassurance that just saying "no" was the right answer. Boy, was it ever!
This just proves that in spite of all of the reform and new regulations, there is nothing better than money to cloud someone's judgment.
Hi XXXXXXX-
Thanks again for the re-cert on this file but I'm coming to you again begging for some help. As you know a re-cert (1004D) was ordered by the processor on this condo but what was actually needed due to the appraisal expiring on 2/28 was a new 1004. My funder who was under the gun to fund this loan due to the lock expiring on 3/6 saw that the value came in where she needed and funded the deal.
Well now according to my contact in our post-closing dept. we may have an unsellable loan which would get that funder in HUGE trouble with management. I know you said you couldn't back date something as the order needed to come through the AMC but after talking to some people in my appraisal dept. today they told me that our investors and auditors don't even have access to the LenderX so wouldn't be able to check the order date on a re-cert.
My funder has really got her butt in trouble over this re-cert date and I told her I'd see what I could do to help her out. We appreciate the work you do for CompanyX and this obviously would be kept on the hush-hush if you could help us out.
Is there any way you could date the attached 1004D Feb 26th? I've been in this business for 14 years and this is the first file I've ever asked to have this done so I'm sure it won't happen again. If you could help us out we'd really be grateful.
It's bad enough to ever ask for this, but it's 100 times worse to ask for it in an email. If someome is ever irresponsible enough to send you an email like this, or to make the request in another way, just say no.

A Route I Didn't Expect
Of course, they didn't ask you to send a query. On the other hand, reviewing queries is their job, and shooting back a simple "sorry, not interested" is not a lot to ask. That's like being in line at the check-out counter with a cartload of groceries and the clerk chooses to help the person behind me.
What I hate even more is when someone requests your manuscript, then you never hear from them. You don't know if they've passed on your work, haven't gotten around to it yet, or didn't receive it at all. And how long do you wait before inquiring about it? You don't want to sound pushy - or worse, desperate - especially since they've probably got a pile of other manuscripts they've requested. Some agents and publishers let you know how long they're reply will take, but most don't.
Not knowing sucks. It's worse than a form rejection. But, as I later found out, it doesn't always mean you've been rejected. One of the publishers who never responded turned out to be the one who offered me a contract.
I queried Quake, an imprint of Echelon Press in April of 2008. A month later, I got a reply from an acquisitions editor requesting the full manuscript. Obviously excited, I sent it right away.
Four months later, I inquired about its status. No reply. And again a month later that. No reply. All told, I inquired this editor six times and never heard a peep. In fact, a year passed since I sent the thing. I wrote an entire new novel in the meantime, and when it came time to submit it to potential publishers, I wrote Quake/Echelon off my list.
I spend a lot of time on AbsoluteWrite.com. To me, it's the best forum for info and advice for any writer, and the greatest tool since Writer's Digest. Anyway, there's a link where people can inquire about, or offer experience with, various publishers and agents. Whenever anyone inquired about Echelon, I offered my own experience...that they requested my manuscript and never bothered to respond again, despite my numerous inquiries. Basically, I called it like I saw it.
A few months later I got an email forwarded through AbsoluteWrite regarding Echelon. It simply stated (verbatim): "wants to publish your book."
I had some preconceived ideas about that fateful day when (or if) I placed my work with a publisher, but didn't think it would be like this. I quickly went to AbsoluteWrite, where a lot of folks on the forum knew about Echelon's interest in my book before I did. Apparently, Echelon had been looking for me for four months. The editor who first requested the manuscript had since quit, been rehired, then quit again, during which time my book was passed from editor to editor, and they didn't have my contact info. They also got a good look at all the negative things I wrote about them on the forum.
Echelon's CEO used the forum to shoot few good-natured jibes back at me. And being fairly new to all this, part of it is my fault...I never included my contact info on the manuscript itself. I just assumed my email would be kept. I guess it's fortunate she has a good sense of humor, because I was offered a contract anyway. We talked on the phone and shared some laughs about the whole thing. I walked away feeling good about Echelon, small but author-friendly, and signed the contract.
After withdrawing the book from consideration by other publishers and agents, I revisited my submission records of the second novel I'm attempting to sell...plenty of rejections, some requests for partial manuscripts, and a lot who haven't replied in several months. But I won't write them off this time, no matter how long they take, because you never know...
2 comments:
Not knowing is the worst part, I agree. I've been known in the past, and will undoubtedly be in the future, to figuratively cut off my nose to spite my face, simply to get the indecision over with.ReplyDelete
The people at Absolute Write are the best. I've spent months trying to synopsize my latest MS and they're always there to help me out with feedback.
Can't wait to see your book.
You make a number of valid points. I too would much rather get a terse email saying "No Thanks," instead of vast unknowable silence.ReplyDelete
Including contact info on the ms. whether you are sending paper or an e-ms. makes worlds of sense.

The Occupy movement may not speak with a unified voice, but that "is not sufficient reason to dismiss it, especially because the wrongs it protests are difficult to articulate and identify in the first place," writes Philosophy Professor Nir Eisikovits in CommonWealth magazine.
Eisikovits, director of the Graduate Program in Ethics and Public Policy, contends that "the Occupiers are bearing witness to something important. We should give them more time to articulate it."
The article, "Rebels without a cause? The Occupy movement may be made up of disparate voices but it is not inarticulate or incoherent," is available online.

06 September 2017
One feature of GDPR is the obligation to contact all people affected by a data breach (in certain circumstances).
While this is new for most EU countries, the USA has enforced comparable legislation for some time – nearly all the states have laws requiring data breach victims be informed. There are crossover federal laws too, depending on which sectors you operate in (HIPPA and the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act are two examples, for healthcare and finance respectively).
I recently took part in a panel discussion at the Nashville Chapter of The International Association of Privacy Professionals, where I was drafted in to talk about GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
As GDPR is not yet tested in the EU Courts, we can look for precedents from across the pond.
Some states insist on informing customers directly
California, for example, imposes large fines and insists that data breach victims are contacted quickly and personally. This can incur massive costs:
- A letter to a customer costs say, 50 cents for the letter, 50 cents for the stamp. So that's $1 dollar for every customer involved in the breach.
- An emergency call centre to handle calls from worried individuals can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars (especially if you need services to be multilingual).
- Credit monitoring and related identity services on an on-going basis are not a strict requirement in all states, but many companies do use them, in the hope it will curry favour with the regulators handing out fines. Costs for such services can be estimated at around $10-15 per person per year.
The costs of informing your customers directly can be enormous.
But it is perceived as the most respectful thing a company can do for its customers, and generally looked on as a mitigating action by regulators and Attorney Generals.
Circumstances that allow informing customers indirectly
Other states and circumstances allow breached companies to contact customers indirectly.
Where a company doesn't hold its customers' addresses, for example. If they only have card details from over-the-counter retail transactions, it is generally permitted to tell customers via a public announcement, by advertising or public relations efforts.
Under GDPR, in some cases public announcements may be acceptable. But as ever, when it comes to data breaches, you can expect the press to be brutal.
Then there's the lawsuits
In June 2017, Anthem Inc., the second largest healthcare insurer in the US, settled a class action lawsuit for $155million, setting a world record for a data breach. The sum includes $38million in lawyers' fees.
The Anthem settlement makes Sony's $15million settlement look like chicken feed – and they got to pay their compensation in PlayStation games too.
Yahoo is still facing 23 class action lawsuits over two years after their initial breach and according to Business Insider, this caused problems amid its takeover by Verizon.
What are American companies doing to protect themselves?
5 main steps that companies are taking towards mitigating risk
Even though Anthem Inc. was under no legal obligation to have their data encrypted, the lack of encryption still formed a substantial part of the class action suit against them.
Social security numbers and birth dates were not encrypted: two pieces of highly valuable information to identity thieves. Given that this breach came after several other high-profile cases, the lack of encryption was treated brutally in the media.
Unsurprisingly, lots of companies are now being proactive in this area.
Storing all your customer data on one server is practically putting your hand out and asking for a big fine.
It's important to separate data so that a breach only loses a portion of customer records, not everything you have. Equally important is making sure that data access is privileged to staff who have a direct need for it.
Protect yourself from the 'inside job' and make life harder for hackers at the same time.
Phishing scam training is the flavour of the month – and not before time.
Many American companies are investing in educating their staff to spot a questionable email from an honest one. This is one of the cheaper routes to mitigating risk: so long as you can make the best practice stick, long term.
Companies are also working hard to recognise their own weaknesses and identify specific targets for awareness training, such as potential social engineering targets. Worthwhile activities include sending 'friendly' phishing emails internally and updating procedures accordingly.
Incident response planning
Your immediate response to an incident reduces the potential for damage, both financial and reputational. Plan for the worst in great detail, make sure everyone knows what their role is.
Making the most of your resources in a highly stressful situation will only happen with meticulous preparation and dry runs.
Don't forget the importance of outside expertise here. For example, only the most skilled of PR operators should handle the media in a crisis situation – and in some cases, only specialist forensic consultants are able to locate and secure the breach.
If you would like help pre-planning your incident response, please get in touch.
Cyber Insurance
Cyber insurance policies are much more commonplace in the USA than in Europe.
Some of the aforementioned laws have been around a long time, which means the USA is a much more mature market – GDPR will most likely see organisations based in Europe increase their appetite for cyber policies.
One of the most attractive aspects of a cyber insurance policy is fast access to experts such as media handlers, IT forensics and legal support.
Your insurer will have trusted vendors on agreed rates – you certainly don't want to be cold calling these guys in the middle of the night when you're desperate.
Reputational damage can be much worse than financial damage long term, American companies are well aware of the impact; European companies are catching on quick.
It's not just huge corporates that are affected either – while big companies with deep pockets prove an attractive target for hackers and ransomware attacks, smaller companies with less sophisticated IT processes are considered easier to extort.
GDPR allows for local interpretation for specific processing activities. The full implication of GDPR may not be realised until it is tested in the EU courts – we just don't know.

Have you been to small claims court before? BMW will have their lawyers there and, if it's the same as in Scotland, you get to make a statement but you don't get to add things you forgot about later and you may not get the chance to rebut anything they say.
Anything BMW or their agent has put in writing which is stupid - like blaming the roads, have it with you and refer to it. Without identifying whose car it was, I would try to slip in the MIRA report - without saying it was "provisional" because it suggests that there is the potential for a manufacturing fault and I would definitely refer to the other people on the forum with the same problem to show that you are not an isolated paranoid person. - again no names unless you have permission.
Has anyone established if the defective wheels were all manufactured by the same company at similar times? You need facts to take with you, the judge will not be impressed by hearsay and "I think".
Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
Thanks for the advice, and to all other posters also.
The next action is for BMW to file a defense, they have 28 days, and I get a copy. [The beauty of this route is that each side is responsible for their own legal fees so it's going to cost them a lot more than me]. When they do file it, I have chance to formally reply before it even goes to court. If it goes that far, I have to convince a judge on 'on balance of probabilty' - and it'll be here are the facts Mr Judge, what do [i]you[i] think?. If I lose, so be it, but rather I have a go for the sake of my £60 to moneyclaim
Likey there will be a few twist and turns, for example either party can ask for a hearing at their local court (at the moment it is listed at Northampton Court as all claims are initially) and may or may not get it granted
If it does go to court, I will have done every bit of prep possible, could even take the wheels along. The company I work for regularly takes numerous poor payers to task via this methods so I have plenty of advice on hand, oh, and good legal advice for free from my companies lawyers. I'll try and find out if other people experiances will help.
If I dont post for more than a week, assume I've been taken out by the German Mafia...!

The first half of this year has not been the greatest in Bollywood's history – the disappointment of one or two early releases and the multiplex strike has led to falling sales revenues and frustrations for the industry's legions of fans worldwide who have had to turn to alternative pursuits such as cricket, reality TV, visiting relatives, learning Swahili or even talking to their parents to fill their time. Things could not have gotten much worse.
But then, just as final despair was setting in with the thought of one more visit to Auntie or one last attempt at mastering the origami duck, suddenly the strike was over and the future looked bright – with so many movies lining up to hit the screens, that the producers have even had to create a rota to make sure they don't fall over each other as they scurry their way to the projectors.
Of course, there's the plots, the music, the action, the comedy element and all the other hot masala of a typical Bollywood mix that we all want to see – but above all there are the jodis. Those icons of transference of our inner desires and dreams writ five times larger than life at the multiplex near you. Which are the best that we have to look forward to in the months ahead – now that the drought is broken and the monsoon has begun …
Kites – Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori
One of the most eagerly awaited is Kites. Over a year in the making at a critical time in Hrithik's career, this is a high-risk production – made partly in English and targeted at both the South Asian and South American markets. Luckily, the barnstorming success of Jodhaa Akbar throughout last year – and most recently confirmed at the IIFA Awards in Macau – has helped to keep Hrithik's name to the forefront.
The film, which also stars Kangana Ranaut in a pivotal role, is about an Indian boy's affair with a Latina girl – Barbara Mori, Mexico's soap opera queen with her own legion of fans. There is apparently some passionate kissing which may or may not have caused an increase in tension in the Roshan household – but will almost certainly keep Hrithik's female fans happy.
However, Hrithik's father Rakesh – the film's producer – argues that the sensuality in the film is not meant to be sensational. "The sensuality is not worked into the film to unnecessarily titillate or cater to any specific audiences," he says, titillating Hrithik's fans, "Kites is a love story, so the sensuality depicted in the film goes well with it."
Costing around 60cr, directed by Anurag Basu and premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival, not, it has to be said, to universal acclaim. However, the film's distribution rights have been sold for 150cr and it was scheduled for a big Diwali release but has now been pushed back to December, much to the screaming and crying of his fans!.
If the film is as big a success as they hope, Hrithik's fans will think he's God – well even more of one!
Dil Bole Hadippa – Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee
The second of our longed-for jodis has also caused a bit of a stir with Rani trying to make a comeback with a toy boy lover in Shahid in a 30/20 crossover movie. The film has added spice for glamour fans with both Rakkhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra in the cast.
Although another Yash Raj movie, this one augurs well for Rani in a love triangle in which she pretends to be a man so she can prove that women can play cricket as well as men can – Hah! Must be a fantasy film. However, it does look as though this one will give her the opportunity to demonstrate her undoubted acting talents. Rani, it appears, is leaving nothing to chance having called upon God to back her movie by fasting every Thursday for 40 weeks followed by a pooja in the Sai Baba temple – now there's dedication for you.
Meanwhile, Shahid is riding on a high, having been awarded the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Award – and he's only 28. "I was pleasantly surprised to get the news about my being chosen for the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi award," he confimed, "I'm only 28 years old and it's really early in my career. I feel humbled and honoured to be chosen by the jury."
Shahid is sure the new movie will be a success. "People are inquisitive about Rani Mukerji and me," he explains, "They want to know more about our screen chemistry."
Dil Bole Hadippa releases on Sept 18th and is directed by Anurag Singh.
Love Aaj Kal – Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone
Saif Ali Khan, desperately in need of a hit and Deepika Padukone, hoping to rise above the disappointment of Chandni Chowk to China, form the jodi in Love Aaj Kal, an Imtiaz Ali film which also features British actress Florence Brudenell-Bruce in her Bollywood debut.
The film consists of three different but linked stories, set in different times with Saif and Deepika playing the leads in each of the stories. The first is set in contemporary London, San Francisco and Mumbai. The second is in Calcutta and Delhi, ten years earlier and filmed largely at the Red Fort. The third story is more historical, set earlier in the century.
Deepika has taken the brave step of filming with "Deepika suggested she wears no make-up in the film as she wanted her character to look as real as it can," says a source, "She wanted to look natural on screen and she looks absolutely beautiful."
Saif Ali Khan, who also produced the movie, thinks they make a great jodi on screen."I think we look nice and refreshing" he confirms, "She's a new face and she's young. She's got an Indian look and is very grounded and mature. Her personality grounds me on the screen just like Rani Mukherjee does. They are very earthy – just opposite of me."
The film leads on July 31st.
What's Your Rashee? – Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra
Based on Madhu Rye's novel Kimball Ravenswood, What's Your Rashee? tells the tale of a young man who has to find the girl of his dreams in 10 days in order to inherit a large sum of money. Playing an amazing twelve different avatars (oh, boy) influenced by the signs of the zodiac, Priyanka Chopra appears as his fantasy inspiration.
This is Ashutosh Gowariker's first romantic comedy. The director is riding high after his triumphs with Jodhaa Akbar but it will be a test of his dexterity to see if he can pull this off – it's due for release on Sept. 28th.
Priyanka Chopra will inevitably be expected to shoulder the burden in the movie – but the award-winning actress is used to that with Harman – remember Love Story 2050 anyone? It will also be interesting to see how well the jodi works now that they have drifted apart in real life – whatever that is.
London Dreams – Salman Khan and Asin
Vipul Shah's rock musical is about two aspiring musicians – the second is played by Ajay Devgan – who come to London to try and fulfill their ambitions. They were childhood friends. Of course, in London, they meet the lovely Asin, playing a dancer, and become rivals for her hand.
Rumours abounded at the time of filming that Asin was very demanding on set – particularly in terms of clothing allowances – but these were later dismissed by all concerned. "Asin plays a gothic girl with a dual personality," says designer Ashley Rebello – so two jodis and one heroine in this one, "Her colours are mainly black and grey, and she wears a red dress only once. Her look is very hip and gothic with tight-fitting tees, mini skirts, waist coats, ganjees, fitted truck pants, tight jeans and high heeled boots." Asin with a gothic look? Sounds good to me.
Naturally, Salman Khan has been linked to his co-star in real life but Asin firmly rejects this saying she prefers the comic book character Archie to Salman, as many people no doubt do. The film releases on 30th October 2009.
Kaminey – Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra
Releasing on August 14th is Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey starring the possibly temporary real-life jodi of Shahid and Priyanka. The on-screen chemistry for this one should really rock – especially as Priyanka apparently gets into a lip-lock with Shahid, not a common occurrence with Priyanka.
The film is about two identical brothers, Guddu and Charlie – always a good idea as it cuts down on staffing costs – and the different directions that their lives take and of course how those lives keep intersecting. Luckily, the audience will be able to tell them apart because one of them stammers and the other has a lisp – must have been fun learning the dialogue.
So who's the treacherous one? "You'll have to see the film to know who's the kaminey," says Priyanka.
Wake Up Sid – Ranbir Kapoor and Konskona Sen Sharma
Wake Up to the new jodi of Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma! Straight from the Karan Johar stable, this romantic comedy is all about a young, good-looking guy (I wonder who that can be) and his older, more serious girlfriend, who's always trying to get him to better himself. Women! They team up with you because they like the way you are and then spend years trying to change you into something else – go figure!
As reported in these pages by cub reporter Prathna Tiwari, poor Konkona had to go on a crash diet to meet Karan's exacting standards for his leading ladies. What's less well known is that after Konkona had thought she'd finished the movie, she put the weight back on again – only to be called back for an extra day's shooting and demands to hit the celery salad once again! What a life these actresses have to lead!!
Meanwhile, pressure's being placed on Ranbir to have his nose straightened but he's refusing to get it done. "I would rather have a crooked nose than an altered one," he told a friend. He's convinced his career is safe even if he doesn't have a perfect face. I guess he knows what he's doing.
Wake Up Sid hits the screens in October.
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani – Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif
Katrina pops up again – this time with Ranbir Kapoor in Rajkumar Santoshi's romantic comedy due for release on September 18th. "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir and Katrina is my first love story," says Rajkumar, "Although people seem to think it's an intense love story – it is not. It has lots of very light very humorous moments."
Of course, it goes without saying that rumours spread like wildfire during the shooting of the movie that Ranbir and Katrina were getting too close together and that Deepika was turning up on set with a wok ready to bash him on the bonce – but as the two lovebirds were seen together later at a Star Trek movie, this is possibly exaggerated and not worthy of a mention.
Ranbir and Katrina do apparently look really hot together with Katrina somehow looking younger than she has done in her most recent movies and with the perfectionist Rajkumar Santoshi at the helm, it's likely to provide some hot entertainment.
It's My Life – Harman Baweja and Genelia D'Souza
It's My Life is a remake of Genelia's Telegu and Tamil hit Bommarillu about a young man who is prepared to defy his father's wishes in his quest for true love – touching stuff. The film is directed by Anees Bazmee and should be perfect for a summer's evening or fall or winter since we don't yet know a release date.
So there we have it – a selection of the jodis coming your way over the next few months. But that's not all! With a backlogue now of 90 movies that have to be cleared in the next 28 weeks, Bollywood fans are finally in for the treat they deserve with a wide range of genres to choose from. The list of jodis in this article are not intended to be exhaustive and we invite you to produce your own set of favourite jodis for the summer.
Happy days are here again …

By Patricia Zengerle
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States accused Venezuela on Tuesday of using economic pressure, including a reported threat to close an oil refinery, to apply pressure on the Netherlands not to extradite an official whom Washington wants on drugs charges.
Instead of being extradited to the United States, retired Venezuelan General Hugo Carvajal flew home on Sunday from the Netherlands' Caribbean island Aruba after the Dutch government ruled he had diplomatic immunity. He was arrested on Aruba on Wednesday.
The U.S. State Department said Caracas had issued a public note that threatened to cease diplomatic and economic relations with the Netherlands. Flights were also stopped between Aruba and Venezuela, stranding hundreds of passengers, a State representative said in an emailed statement.
And media in Curacao quoted the Isla Refinery's managing director as saying representatives of the Venezuelan state-run oil company PDVSA visited Curacao to discuss the possible closure of the refinery, which is leased by PDVSA, the statement said.
The case threatened a new flare-up in tense relations between Caracas and Washington, as well as potentially stirring up accusations of officially sanctioned drug trading by Venezuela.
Opposition politicians in Venezuela and the U.S. government say Carvajal, who ran military intelligence in Caracas from 2004 to 2008, bears responsibility for years of state connivance in the illegal drug trade.
Carvajal denies the charges. Carvajal was considered one of the most powerful figures during the rule of the late socialist President Hugo Chavez, a U.S. antagonist.
Venezuelan officials have been crowing about a victory over U.S. "imperialism" since Carvajal's return. Various visiting foreign dignitaries, including the presidents of Bolivia and Nicaragua, also have congratulated Venezuela on Carvajal's return and criticized what they see as U.S. meddling in the region.

The Characters:
Billy Jack - Judo master, medicine man, and crack shot who loves to wear denim.
Jean - Pacifist founder of a revolutionary school where kids go to explore their creative talents.
Sheriff Cole - A pox upon this worthless creature. Why does he even bother getting out of bed in the morning?
Barbara - Hateful young woman with no self-respect or common sense.
Martin - Young man who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time and usually gets punched in the stomach for his trouble. At long last somebody doesn't punch him in the stomach, they shoot him four times in the head.
Mike - Deputy that acts as a toad for the evil bigwig. He is also doing a fantastic job of raising an abrasive and unhappy daughter, until she runs away and Billy Jack shoots him.
Mr. Posner - Evil bigwig who calls the shots in this small desert town. I don't know why he is the bigwig, especially after seeing the car he drives, but that's the deal.
Bernard - He is the bigwig's son and a complete wuss for the most part. Finds just enough courage to annoy Billy Jack and get his throat crushed.
The Plot:
I've had an epiphany: I really don't understand my parents' generation at all.
All things considered, I wanted to like the movie a whole lot more than I did. Our hero is a soft-spoken man who honestly tries to get along with people, until they do something stupid (usually stupid = racist); then he completely knocks their block off. It's a philosophy to live by.
You also have to understand that Billy Jack will be repeatedly referred to as an "Injun," usually with the adjective "damn" preceding. Tom Laughlin does not look like a Native American to me - at all. Except for the hat, one has to admit that the hat looks like something you'd find in a store selling leather products and Native American crafts. So, just to prevent any confusion for first time viewers, if somebody is called an "Indian" (or nasty derivative) then they are probably referring to the Caucasian guy in the denim jacket and black hat.
After being discharged from the Army, the protagonist has taken up residence among Pueblo ruins near a small southwestern town. There he protects the land, wild horses, and Jean's "Freedom School" from evil white men. Mr. Posner is the leader behind the EWMA (Evil White Man Association) and, just to let you know how much of a bigwig he is, the EWMA spends half a day rounding up horses on the reservation. They plan to slaughter them and sell the meat to dog food companies for six cents per pound. They rounded up about two dozen horses and we will say that each weighed twelve-hundred pounds (healthy). Now, let's also say that they garnered eight hundred pounds of usable dog chow from every horse. After dividing the profit between six men you end up with about two hundred dollars each; probably an appreciable amount of money for your average evil redneck, but if this is how Posner amassed his fortune then it's no wonder why he is driving that station wagon.
The day does not turn out profitable for Posner and his men though; Billy Jack rides up and lays down the law, 30-30 style. Thoroughly cowed, the bad guys drop their rifles and leave the reservation with phantom tails tucked between their legs. Enmity between Posner and Billy Jack now established, we can now learn why Mike sucks as a father.
Barbara is supposed to be a character we see grow and mature. At least that is my hypothesis. In reality she is easy to despise. When we are first introduced to the character she has just been returned home (having run away some time ago) and is encouraging Mike's domestic abuse theology. "I'm back, I hate you, I'm also pregnant and, since I've had sex with every guy between here and there, I don't know who the father is. Oh yeah, it's your fault too dad." Now, the jerk might very well be a grand turd in the hopper of parenthood; it is still hard to feel sorry for his daughter. She actually seems to work at proving herself a selfish and hateful witch. Every time her character appeared I had to scowl.
After yet another thumping Barbara runs away and is found unconscious in a field. Sheriff Cole has to do something about the situation, so he elects to hide her at the Freedom School. What the HELL? Half of this town's problems are the result of the Sheriff turning a blind eye to actions that are plainly wrong. How about blaming the man with the badge? Innocent people die during this film and not one person gets mad at Cole. Heck, everybody is happy to be his buddy.
We have mentioned the Freedom School several times now. It is a commune started by Jean to rescue runaways and turn their energy to creative work. One of the saving graces is an impromptu stage group led by Howard Hesseman, because other than that almost everything that happens at the school is agony. What do you think happens in a commune full of hippies? Darn right, they sing songs.
They sing a lot of songs.
Somebody stop the 70's, I want to get off.
Things start going downhill when the school enters the picture in all its horrible glory, but one of the best scenes in the film results when a busload of students take a trip into town. The kids know that they make the citizens nervous, so what do they do? Drive through town chanting, singing, hanging out the windows, and flashing peace signs at all the squares. Maybe not causing a scene would have been a good idea. Yah think? It was like ringing the dinner bell for Bernard and Dinosaur (an aptly named friend). They come running and bully the kids around until Billy Jack arrives. He sets them straight, but Mr. Posner and a large group of EWMA members have been waiting for a chance like this. Things look glum for Billy, but he calmly removes his boots (butt kicking is best done with bare feet) and does as much damage as possible.
Time to discuss Bernard briefly (let's just waste an entire paragraph). He refuses to shoot the cute horsey for his father's dog food franchise, but loves beating up people and later on rapes Jean. He even murders Martin! I understand that Billy has to have some good reason for killing the young man; it's just that we are all over the board with our villains. Is it a statement about him valuing the life of an animal more than an Indian's?
Who knows?
Eventually the situation, that Sheriff Cole failed to defuse, breaks down and people start getting hurt. Billy Jack avenges Martin's death and then holes up in an adobe fortress when the law arrives. Barbara is with him at first too, largely on account that her father was indiscriminately throwing lead at the pair (doing a much better job of fatherhood now, Mike!). Will the hero surrender to the white man's law? A law he has no reason to trust? Um, there are two more movies in the series and the next starts with "The Trial of." What do you think?
Kudos on some points, but the film quickly goes downhill around the middle. Even some explanations of the strange crossbreed religion the good guys subscribe to only succeeded in confusing me further. Just imagine a mix of Native American spiritualism with Flower Child ideals and adding a healthy dose of Christianity. Jean starts explaining about Jesus talking to a medicine man at one point while Billy Jack is preparing to become a "brother to the snake." The latter involves taunting a very large rattlesnake until it bites the heck out of you. Just in case you were wondering.
I agree with the general themes, but there were far too many songs sung by girls with long hair (straight of course) and guitars.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Wild horses and mountain goats are distant cousins. Key word being "distant."
Hitting a woman in the face once will cause her to miscarry.
Racial tension is easily fixed with a liberal application of bleached flour.
The naked eye can discern facial features at a quarter mile.
Interactive theater is great training for law enforcement officers.
Corvettes do not float.
Learning how to ride a horse while you are pregnant is not advised.
When selecting a building (for your last stand) try to avoid ones made from mud and pine.
Stuff To Watch For:
4 mins - Yelling loud enough to be understood over a herd of stampeding horses; now that's vocal power.
6 mins - "Hey Earl, did you hear the theme music change?"
20 mins - She really is playing that guitar...
22 mins - Notice how Jean's hair keeps changing; it just depends on what camera angle we are at.
27 mins - I'm confused. Is he holding the flour scoop at waist level or what?
47 mins - Somebody please stop this scene!
65 mins - A suitcase full of yogurt?
67 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A BRA!
74 mins - That is most certainly not Jean...
91 mins - Billy guessed that? Just off the top of his head? Is this man Sherlock Holmes reincarnated or something?
107 mins - So, you castrate him in your mind about twelve times (rounding up) every second?

Here is the scene with Billy Jack surrounded by a crowd of Posner's goons. They are definitely going to put a hurting on him, but the warrior intends to met out some justice before that happens.

Billy Jack should have spawned a generation of films. Instead, people watch crap. Greatest country in the world filled to the brim with nitwits. Makes me sad.

By the way hippies, my father wanted me to thank you for spitting on him and calling him a baby killer when he got back home from the war in 1970. Such an understanding group...

Real hippies didn't involve themselves in political activities or education or jobs or anything else with our culture. They were totally removed from it as they saw it as corrupt and insane. Those who spit on vets were jacked- up-longhaired-wannabee-dudes who in one instance, were cheerfully beaten by my friend Clay who just returned from 'Nam. There is a movie in there somewhere- "Billie Jack Beats College" or something. I did see the flick with my wife and we thought it was a total rip off. I had more enjoyment when BJ took off his boots cause the theater went nuts with anticipation- "whoo boy, watch this".
Interesting how this film generates a lot of animosity all these years later.

I was really amused by this review. I know it sounds crazy, but when I saw this movie in 1971 it made total sense. It was first made in 1969 and ran until 1971. It was the 60's and early 70's....Ya just had to have been there.

Billy Jack was one of the most important films of our time. Because Tom Laughlin was and is the only person that ever believed in a cause, was willing to fight for it, and put the message in his movies. At first Born Losers was just a movie, the Motorcycle gang against Billy Jack and the young girls they victimized and raped. Billy Jack was the original Rambo, but this guy was more then people ever knew. He really believed in everything he stood for. This especially came true after the surprise success of Billy Jack (the second BJ movie). It became the greatest Independent film of all time, and sparked the most explosive sequel ever known (next to the Godfather movies). I remember when the Trial Of Billy Jack came out, it played in 3 theatres (the first movie to ever to so). In that movie you can start to see the political side come out more, with references to Nixon, Indian rights, child abuse, and police brutality (and the college masacres) which the whole movie was based upon. This movie reflected all real life stuff, everything you see in The Trial Of Billy Jack was not just some writers imagination. The Laughlins really believed in all this stuff and poured their message into the films with raw emotion that has never been seen in film and hasnt been seen since. They werent just acting, what they stood for in this movie, what they felt was based on the events of real life and what went on in the world. Remember the final famous scene in the church where they sang Give Piece a Chance? This scene was emotional not just for the audience that seen it, but for every actor who experienced it, the photographers, and the director. Tell me a movie where that has ever been the case? That is why it was so powerful, and only in a movie like Titanic has audiences been struck with such emotion again because the Titanic was real life (it happened) and James Cameron brought in into reality like no other has before. Then finally Billy jack Goes To Washington, which was the most revealing film of all time about the corruption of Washington and the way that Congress is run, the way laws are passed, how payoffs, and special interests buy politicians into office and how they control the country. We all know, the one who pays for the campaign funds, the elections, are the ones that buy the politicians into office. How little envelopes with money are passed around, and bills are passed or denyed based upon the highest bidder. No film ever before revealed clearly exactly the way Washington was run and still runs today. How far does one go to protect their rights or what they believe in, or when does one let it go? Tom laughlin (just as he does on his website today) brought everything into light in his movies. His beliefs and convictions were the most important thing to him, not being famous, staying rich, or seeing how long he could keep a great career. But by integrity in what he believed in. We would have never seen those movies had it not been for that. Billy Jack Goes To Washington was not even allowed to be released. Tom laughlin and his entire cast were almost thrown out of Washington and arrested for filming it there. USA is suppose to be a country where free expression is allowed, but they would not allow that movie to be released and everything in it was true. Billy Jack was much more then a movie, it was about someone who stood their ground, and stood up for what they believed in, and said it like it was. Tom Laughin is still trying to change the world, even as a guy in his 70's he is planning to make a movie about his own election campaign (another independent film). Check out the web site, and you dont have to agree with everything he says. But Billy Jack stood for more then you'll ever know! It was a movement, about people who wanted to stand up and change things.

Bought this flick for $5.55 at a Walmart in southern California. Saw it first in the 70s but not again until New Year's 2004.
I remember how everybody back then wanted to be like Billy Jack. (hat and all). What I didn't remember was how blatantly political this movie was --and how much the politics take away from the movie itself, which could have been a classic in the right hands.
It's one of the few movies Hollywood can't co-opt with a remake either, as the noble savages now run money-making casinos from coast-to-coast. Native Americans are the real-life bossess in small southwestern towns from Ruidoso to Parker and Temecula. There are sure some great lines though and doubtless this movie had influences many movie makers (beyond Steven Segal)

I think "The Trial of Billy Jack" is where the fake Hitler "law and order" quote came from that hippies use to get people to admit they're Nazis.
"'Something about law and order being good'. Do you agree with this statement?"
"Yeah, sure."
"That was an verbatim statement from Hitler!!!!!"
"Wow, I just crapped my pants. I guess I just have to admit I'm a Nazi now."

I'm not eating at Chick-Fil-A today.
Is it because I disagree with their stance on gay marriage? Not necessarily. I'd go into more detail, but this post isn't about gay marriage, it's about Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day.
Is it because I think they shouldn't have the right to publicly share their opinions regarding gay marriage? Absolutely not. This is America, folks, thank you Jesus. We ALL get to have an opinion, and we like it that way.
I'm not eating at Chick-Fil-A today because I don't think it's what Jesus would do. When Jesus disagreed with someone's views, he didn't encourage large droves of people to express his disagreement by shoving it in their faces. He didn't tell his followers to congregate in public and alienate the sinful.
On the contrary, Jesus hung out with the prostitutes. He forgave the murderers. He talked with, loved on and nurtured the wayward. He incited change in the hearts of those he met not because he exercised his right to free speech and proved he was right, but because he approached them with love and respect. He was different. He protected the guilty in the faces of their executioners. He DIED for those who sought to kill him.
He died for me. He loves me. ME. The despicable, guilty, hell deserving person than I am. Even with all of my gossip, the lies I've told, the people I've hurt and the commandments I've broken. He loves me.
And guess what? He loves the homosexual community, too. With fiery, deep, overwhelming and powerful love, he loves them. Jesus desires them as much as he desires us straight people. He calls us to love them, too.
So today, I won't eat Chick-Fil-A. I will exercise my right to vote on this issue when the opportunity arises, and I encourage everyone else to do so as well.

Cockroach milk is a thing, and it makes us want to die
There is a lot of horrible stuff going on in the world currently. But though, in the face of tragedy, I can maintain hope for the human race, the concept of drinking milk from cockroaches makes me want to throw up my hands and move to the moon. Alone.
More: Why are health nerds gobbling up cricket flour?
Scientists have determined that a species of lactating cockroach (the term "lactating cockroach" alone makes me want to vom) produces milk that can be consumed by humans. I'll give you a moment while you figure out how to process that horrifying information.
My first question is, which disturbed scientist first thought about drinking a cold, refreshing glass of cockroach milk? Like, if I saw a cockroach lactate (barf), my first thought wouldn't be "yum," it would be "kill it with fire!"
More: Pestaurant tries to prove how tasty insects can be
My second question is, why? Sure, cockroach milk contains all the essential amino acids, and yes, they've figured out how to grow it in a lab, sans-roach. And apparently it could make a really great protein supplement. But still... It came from a cockroach, one of the nastiest insects around. I would rather get my protein from almost anything else. And if you're really concerned about sustainability issues and the ethics of drinking cow's milk, there are other alternatives already: pea protein, soy protein, nuts and seeds. There is no reason to jump straight to lactating roaches!
The roach milk is still being studied, so it's not a sure thing that you'll be having Pacific beetle cockroach milk and cookies anytime soon. But when the time comes, you heard it here first: This is a terrible idea.

Cultural Variations in Interpretation of Postnatal Illness: Jinn Possession Amongst Muslim Communities
- 741 Downloads
- Citations
Maternal experience of emotional and physical disturbance during the postnatal period is a worldwide occurrence but may be interpreted differently according to cultural background. Little is known about different expressions and treatment of cultural phenomena during the postnatal period such as the affliction of Jinn possession in Arabic cultures. Jinn are considered to be evil spirits, which cause emotional and physical distress at times of vulnerability such as the postnatal period. The aim of this paper was to explore maternal experience of Jinn possession and draw parallels with Western interpretations of postnatal illness. Ten women in an Arabian Gulf state who had recently given birth and identified themselves as having Jinn possession were interviewed as to their experiences of Jinn possession. Mothers described the Jinn as evil spirits who cause symptoms such as sadness, anxiety and physical malaise during the postnatal period. Numerous risk factors for possession emerged such as lack of familial support, poverty and a traumatic birth. Clear parallels emerged between Western concepts of postnatal illness and Jinn possession Mothers in Muslim cultures may experience Jinn possession during the postnatal period, which reflects similar symptoms and aetiology to Western concepts of postnatal illness. With increasing multiculturalism in the UK, understanding the origins and perception of Jinn possession is important for health professionals working in Muslim communities here.

The voting for the 2007 Readers' Poll for the Gulbenkian Prize is now closed
Not only have we had an amazing response to our Gulbenkian Prize People's Vote, but we've received literally hundreds of fantastic comments, showing just how much museums and galleries mean to local people. Here's a selection showing what our readers feel about the recently restored Kew Palace.
"Kew Palace is a forgotten piece of history, delightfully brought to life by Historic Royal Palaces. The mood of the house and the careful storytelling compel understanding of a family in crisis amidst momentous world events." John
"I found it to be one of the most atmospheric displays of history that I have seen and one that told a clear story - or, more accurately, two stories: that of the house and that of George III." Jonathan
"Kew Palace gets our vote - it has been so carefully restored, and yet not overdone. The quality of the work is outstanding, and the presentation delightful and imaginative. Historic Royal Palaces has done a fantastic job." David and Judy

"Kew Palace is a gem - the only royal palace on a small, human scale and the untouched areas have been a revelation." Mr Allen
"I would like to vote for Kew Palace as it has been probably one of the best restoration projects that has ended with a very enjoyable experience for visitors." Getty
"We are voting for Kew Palace because it is more than just the usual stately building. It is presented as a real home where King George and his family lived their everyday lives … Additionally, Kew Palace has one of the finest medicinal herb gardens in England with original explanations of the herbs and their uses." Frank and Sue

"I'd like to vote for Kew Palace – the team managed to make a very difficult building and potentially inaccessible subject matter extremely accessible, enjoyable and even moving. A lesson for everyone working in the field of how these things should be done." Jeremy
"We wish to register our unequivocal support for Kew Palace to be awarded the Gulbenkian Prize for museums and galleries 2007. In our opinion the Historic Royal Palaces charity has excelled in to re-igniting the interest of the public to what is the UK's smallest royal palace and, in particular, by its innovative presentation of the world surrounding King George III." Mr & Mrs Thomas
"HRP did a fantastic job in restoring the palace and it looks beautiful!"Tamsin
"This is an amazing achievement of restoration and should be the recipient of the Gulbenkian Prize." Sue
