The new Conservative government in Ottawa has stunned both its opponents and supporters by appointing a prominent member of the New Democratic Party as Canada's ambassador to the United Nations.
Stephen Lewis, former leader of the New Democratic Party in Ontario, will be Canada's new envoy to the UN.
If the appointment came as a surprise to Canadians, it came as a shock to Mr. Lewis. The politician-turned-journalist is one of the leading thinkers in the NDP, a mildly socialist party that is critical of Tory policy, especially its attitude to defense and the United States.
In an article in the Canadian news-weekly Maclean's, Lewis criticized Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's recent trip to Washington as ''groveling reverentially to the White House.'' The NDP advocates disarmament and opposes the testing of the cruise missile in Canadian airspace.
Mr. Mulroney says his appointment of Lewis shows he meant his campaign promise that patronage is a thing of the past in Canada. Mulroney told reporters , ''In many circumstances people of these talents are in other political parties or other movements, and I hope to reach out to them to enhance what should be a bipartisan thrust to public policy.''
The appointment was described as ''a strikingly imaginative move,'' by the Toronto Star, a paper not usually in agreement with the Tories. The Star and others say Lewis's appointment to the UN is nonpartisan and goes against the tradition of patronage in Canada. The former Liberal government suffered in the election campaign because of its use of patronage.
Cynics have taken a slightly different view. Some political professionals say the Lewis appointment is inspired, but in a Machiavellian way.
''Now that Mulroney has appointed a New Democrat, he can name all the Tories he likes. And the United Nations doesn't matter anyway,'' said an Ottawa veteran who asked to remain nameless.
The theory is that Mulroney has defused the patronage issue by reaching so far from his own ideology for his first major appointment. He has also named a man who has considerable ability.
While Lewis was NDP leader in Ontario during the 1970s, he brought the party closer to power than it had ever been: At one period the NDP was the official opposition to the ruling Conservatives, displacing the provincial Liberals.
The question being asked by those who know Lewis is: Will he toe the Tory line at the United Nations when Tory government philosophy differs from his own?

Jumbel Guinabang's second goal late in extra time powered Arellano University past College of Saint Benilde 3-2 in Match 1 of their best-of-3 finals at Rizal Memorial Football Stadium Friday night.
The action was frantic in the first half, with Guinabang striking first in just 2 minutes of action to give the Chiefs an early lead.
It didn't take long for Saint Benilde to pull even, as Daniel Lozio found the equalizer a minute later.
Arellano regained the lead in the 25th, with Charles Gamutan beating two defenders then shaking off Blazers keeper Jake Vicen for the 2-1 lead.
Once again, the equalizer came quick for Benilde, as skipper Renz Tulayba fired from just outside the box to make it 2-2.
As high scoring as the first half was, the second half was the exact opposite, as neither side managed a conversion, forcing an extra 30 minutes of action.
With 3 minutes to go in extra time and a penalty shootout looming, Guinabang came up with the last-minute conversion to put the Chiefs up 3-2.
Benilde pushed the action in the remaining minutes of extra time, but could not come up with a third equalizer, giving the Chiefs a hard-fought win.
"Sobrang saya po, para sa akin, lalo na para sa team namin." Guinabang told ABS-CBN Sports following the grueling 120-minute match.
"Nakita niyo naman po kung ano iyong nangyari sa laro namin. Nagkaisa kami, hindi po namin inisip na sumuko, kahit na marami nang nagka-cramps sa mga kasama ko, kahit ako po. Pero hindi ko po inisip na gumive-up."
Arellano now finds itself a win away from a second title in 3 years.
"Nakakakaba pa rin po siyempre, pero nandoon na rin po iyong excitement na makuha iyong champion ngayon." Guinabang said.
Still, the Chiefs will need to take care of business against a Blazers squad who'll be looking to bounce back and extend the series.
Benilde will try to even things up in Match 2 also at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium on Monday. Kick-off is at 6 p.m.

Turkey is interested in purchasing Russian S-400 missile systems, talks on possible supplies are underway, Sergei Chemezov, CEO of Rostec state corporation, said on Monday, according to Tass news agency. "Turkey is interested in S-400 systems. Talks are underway. The key issue is financing," he told journalists on the sidelines of the IDEX 2017 international defence exhibition.
In November 2016, Turkey's Minister of National Defense Fikri Isik said Ankara was in talks with Moscow on possible purchase of S-400 systems. In late December, the sides held a meeting of the intergovernmental commission on military technical cooperation, which had been expected to touch upon the issue of S-400 supplies. The first foreign buyer of Russian S-400 missile systems was China. The corresponding contract was reportedly signed in the spring of 2015. According to media reports, the deal's cost was three billion U.S. dollars. The plans by Turkey have raised some eyebrows in NATO circles, as the alliance has an integrated system that requires military equipment compatible with its overall defence umbrella, while the procurement, if completed would also shift the balance of power over the Aegean Sea in favour of Turkey, as the anti-aircraft missile system is considered the most advanced one on the world.

Since sites like YouTube and Netflix first started introducing us to streaming content, streaming websites have all worked and looked pretty much the same. Videos are sorted by names and categories and have to be selected to be played. That format has some advantages over cable (you can curate your own content and you'll never arrive halfway through a show), but it also has a major downside: you can't channel surf, because getting to curate your own content means having to curate your own content. And for years now, that's how all the services have done it. Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, you name it: they all work the same way.
Pluto TV is changing that. When you load their free streaming site up on your laptop or through their free app, you'll be greeted by an interface that looks a lot like a modern cable menu. You'll be able to click on channels and surf through them to see what's on. It's a streaming site that acts like a cable box.
Curated Free Content
So where is Pluto TV getting all of this content?
As it turns out, Pluto TV is getting its content from the same places that cord cutters do. They're supplying videos from YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, and other streaming sites. All Pluto TV is doing is saving you the legwork of finding your next favorite show. They're restoring the simplicity of channel surfing (without restoring your hefty cable bill).
That said, Pluto TV doesn't only use freely available content. They also have a bunch of agreements with other content providers. They've inked deals with Funny or Die, Bloomberg TV, and Hulu, among others. The Hulu deal alters some of Pluto TV's usual rules (the Hulu deal is browser-only, so you won't find it on the mobile app version, and its content is on-demand rather than constantly streaming), but for the most part this licensed content slots right in there alongside Pluto TV's other channels.
So how much content is there? More than 100 channels worth. Some of the channels are more compelling than others, but there is surprisingly little filler in the lineup. The major weakness of the service is that just about everything is a rerun, but Pluto TV's time-sensitive offerings (like news and sports channels) are pretty solid considering the limitations. Lovers of classic television and viral footage will be particularly happy with Pluto's offerings.
Features, Features, Features
Pluto TV matches your old cable package feature for feature. Users are able to set reminders and favorites, so you won't miss any must-see TV. You can also explore channels by themes and genres. Pluto TV has an answer to cable's DVR feature, too – they allow you to save shows to watch later. Of course, all of Pluto's content is available on demand somewhere – if you really wanted to, you could just save the YouTube video URL directly. But Pluto TV's whole appeal is that it clothes actions like this in the familiar language of a cable box, in this case turning a bookmark into a DVR-like feature.
Some channels also offer a chat feature, in case you want to know what other users think of what you're all watching. This isn't Pluto TV's most compelling feature, but it's at least a little better than YouTube comments. You can also "follow" channels, in a way that's similar to the same feature on Twitch and other streaming services.
There's an App for That
You can get Pluto TV through your browser or via their free mobile app, which is available on Android and iOS. It's compatible with Chromecast, and it has an app for the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Roku users can cast to their Roku, too, though they'll have to use an Android device to cast the screen since there's no native Roku app. Only the latest Rokus (Roku 3 and the streaming stick) will work.
Pluto TV is a relatively new service, and it will be interesting to see it grow. It could use some more solid licensed content, but that could come with time. For now, though, their channel-surfing model seems to have solved one of cord cutting's only problems – and we're grateful for that!

A monument honoring Russian and Soviet soldiers has been unveiled in a military cemetery in Esztergom, Hungary, two weeks before Russian leader Vladimir Putin visits the country. The Russian ambassador to Hungary pointedly mentioned the timing at the unveiling ceremony, casting the monument as "an important part of a big cooperation" between the two countries. Obviously, the monument is more than just a piece of artwork commemorating long-ago events. But why is it so important?
The battle over monuments in Eastern Europe is intimately connected to the broader battle over history, memory, and the narrative of Soviet communism in the region. And this isn't a battle waged by professors in the pages of low-circulation academic journals—it's a matter of international affairs that has led to diplomatic fracases and even crippling cyberattacks. It's a public battle over whether the truth will prevail in the public mind.
The facts of history are clear. On August 23, 1939, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a treaty to divide up Eastern Europe. The pact allowed Hitler to invade Poland on September 1, 1939 and the Soviet Army to invade on September 17. The fact that Hitler betrayed the Soviets' trust a year later does not change the fact that Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany invaded Poland together.
When the Soviets began winning battles against Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front, they resumed conquering Eastern Europe where they had left off in 1939. The Soviet military expelled the Germans from Hungary and overthrew the Nazi-aligned Hungarian government by April 15, 1945. However, the Soviets never left. Instead, tanks brought political operatives and KGB agents, who from 1945-1946 deported over half a million Hungarians (approximately 200,000 of which were civilians) to labor camps in the Soviet Union.
In 1956, Hungarians rebelled against the Soviet-backed Hungarian communist government. For a fleeting few weeks in November, it looked like Hungary might gain its freedom. Famously, the Hungarians were the first communist country to tear down a giant statue of Stalin. In response to the revolution, the Soviets and other Warsaw Pact countries sent an army to Budapest to brutally repress the Hungarians. By November 10, 1956, they had killed about 3,000 Hungarian civilians and displaced nearly 200,000 others. Imre Nagy, the leader of the reform movement, was executed.
When Imre Nagy was reburied as a hero on June 16, 1989, a young Viktor Orbán addressed the massive Hungarian audience. He said: "We can put an end to the Communist dictatorship; if we are determined enough we can force the Party to submit itself to free elections; and if we don't lose sight of the ideals of 1956, then we will be able to elect a government that will start immediate negotiations for the swift withdrawal of Russian troops." The 55,000 Soviet troops still stationed in the country were forced to withdraw by June 19, 1991 to shouts and banners of "Russians, go home!"
After the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, the status of Soviet monuments in Hungary and elsewhere was ambiguous. The statues of Lenin were carted off, but some monuments to Red Army soldiers themselves—like the one in Budapest's Freedom Square—stayed put. However, when Central and Eastern European countries have decided to move these monuments at later dates, the reaction has been explosive. When Estonia relocated a monument to its Soviet "liberators," it suffered massive cyberattacks. Ukraine in 2015 passed a law banning all communist symbols, arousing Russia's ire and leading to the farcical prosecution of individuals like filmmaker Oleg Sentsov for supposedly planning to demolish a statue of Lenin. Latvia and Poland have also considered laws to remove communist-era monuments.
What of Hungary's new monument to Soviet soldiers? It was funded by the Peacemakers and Peace Russia Foundation, founded in 2010 as a spinoff of the League for Human Dignity and Security, an organization created by the late Soviet general Valentin Varennikov, who was infamous as a ringleader of 1991's hardline communist coup d'état attempt and a vociferous defender of Joseph Stalin.
It's certainly strange that a country that so recently applauded the "withdrawal of Russian troops" is now honoring them in ceremonies timed to coincide with Vladimir Putin's visit. The pattern seems clear—countries that threaten the Soviet patriotic myth get punished, countries that embrace it get rewarded. But these rewards come at the cost of abandoning historical truth.

"This economy of ours is strong," George W. Bush informed voters in Ohio. But if Democrats win control of the House of Representatives, he warned in Florida, "they'll raise your taxes. It will hurt our economy, and that's why we're not going to let them get control."
In late September the President momentarily interrupted his drumbeat on the threat Democrats pose to the failing "war on terror" to trumpet the threat they pose to the flailing economy. With Americans squeezed between sluggish wages and rising costs, the slogan "they'll raise your taxes" rouses fears, just as "cut and run" does on Iraq. As in the Iraq debate, the President doesn't tell us what he'll do to get us out of the mess he's made; he simply charges that Democrats will make it worse.
Just as in the Iraq debate, Bush's claim regarding the economy is a true lie: Most Democrats have pledged to roll back the President's tax cuts for the wealthy–but they've also championed tax breaks on college tuition and childcare that would benefit the vast majority of Americans. Just as in the Iraq debate, most Republicans will echo Bush's charge, giving the GOP a clear message on the economy in the final month of the campaign.
Bush can't govern worth spit, but he does know how to run campaigns. Polls suggest that his late-summer fear offensive helped rally disgruntled Republicans. His tax offensive is designed for broader appeal to families already struggling to make ends meet.
The challenge for Republican incumbents, just as in the debate on the war, is that they must distract the electorate from the failure of Bush's policies. The economy is growing, CEO salaries are soaring and profits are up–but most Americans aren't seeing the benefits. Their jobs and incomes are less secure. Companies are bailing out on healthcare benefits and pension obligations. Costs for everything from healthcare to college tuition are up. Personal debt and personal bankruptcies are at record levels. Americans are working harder and longer just to keep up.
So when Bush talks about how strong the economy is, most Americans think he's out to lunch. He traveled to Cincinnati to hail a family-owned manufacturer that had added 125 jobs, touting this as a product of his tax cuts. AFL-CIO leader John Sweeney stepped on the story, calling Bush "unbelievably out of touch" to think he can fool the 195,000 workers who have lost good manufacturing jobs in Ohio over the past five years.
The economy ranks just after Iraq and terrorism as a central concern of voters. The issue is teed up for Democrats, since the President and the Republican Congress, catering to corporate lobbies, have acted consistently to make things worse. Their trade and tax policies have accelerated the flight of jobs abroad, the "outsourcing" that Administration economists claim is a benefit to the economy. The GOP has blocked any increase in the minimum wage for nine years and coddled employers who trample on labor laws and exploit undocumented workers, adding to the downward pressure on wages. They turned the prescription drug benefit into a drug company subsidy by prohibiting Medicare from negotiating lower prices with the pharmaceutical industry. They blocked efforts to hold Big Oil accountable for price gouging and fraudulent underpayment of royalties for oil leases, while lavishing billions in subsidies on oil companies and starving progress on alternative energy. They provided companies with incentives to abandon pensions and replace them with individual retirement accounts. They cut billions from the student loan program, even as interest rates were soaring on student and parent loans.

Other than sheep, the Isle of Skye seems to have an abundance of talented artists, photographers, sculptures, potters and weavers.
The Skye and Lochalsh Arts and Crafts Association produce a wonderful book detailing galleries and studios throughout the Island, their location and the types of work on display.
We have used this guide over the past couple of years to visit many of these and of the 42 artists and galleries features in the guide we have visited or seen the work of over 30 and detail our highlights below:
Skyescape Gallery
Skyescape Gallery is situated on the Harlosh Peninsular and features work predominantly by Russell Sherwood – owner and founder of the gallery – but also by a few other carefully selected photographers. We fell in love with Russell's work the first time that we saw it being displayed in Dunvegan and had to make the trip to his gallery to see the quality of his other work which we found to be wonderful too. .
Russell is very welcoming and more than willing to impart advice and information on the equipment he uses and his workflow. He also offers tuition for a fee and although we have not used his services can only imagine that this is great value for money and worthwhile to employ his services.
Russell is a member of F4 – four likeminded photographers whose work is dominated by the landscape of Skye.
Tim Wilcock Photography
Tim and his wife run the Grasmhor Bed and Breakfast near Dunvegan and in addition Tim is also a talented landscape photographer. Tim's work can be seen at the bed and breakfast where he has a small gallery and like Russell Sherwood, is more than happy to discuss how and where he captures his images.
Tuition is also available which I can only imagine is superb and good humoured.
Tim is also a member of the F4 collective.
Dandelion Designs and Images Gallery
This gallery is situated in the beautiful, small village of Stein on the Waternish peninsular next door to the Stein Inn – Skye's oldest Inn.
It features the work of several artists – Liz, Pat and Cathy Myhill predominate but there is also work on display (and to buy) by John Viles and Marion McPhee to name but two. We were particularly struck by the work of Liz Myhill who produces some beautiful and arresting art.
Ellishadder Art Café
One of our absolute favourites not just for the amazing food and drinks and service but also but the wonderful art work created by Stuart and Maggie Quigley the owners and operaters of the Café.
Stuart produces some stunning paintinsg and pencil drawings of Skye and Maggie weaves amazing rugs which are works of art in themselves.
Again, as we have found with most artists on the Island they are more than happy to discuss how they create their work and it really hits home how much work actually goes into their creations.
Skyeline Ceramics
Skyeline Ceramics is situated in a very small workshop in Broadford. The workshop is renowed for the exquisitely crafted sculptures of sheep. The attention to detail is amazing and each of the small creations is unique giving them their own personality.
John Bathgate – Dun Studio
John Bathgate's studio is just outside of the town of Dunvegan and is a treasure trove of beautifully painted scenes of Skye. John is great company and, like most artists on Skye is happy to share his inspirations.
John uses various media including acrylics, oil, mixed media and collage to capture the atmosphere and grandeur of Skye's landscape. His work is available in original form and limited edition prints.
Alan is an incredibly gifted photographer based in Broadford. He exclusively uses medium format film to capture both dramatic and atmospheric images.
When you look has his work you appreciate the increased dynamic range and wonderful colour that it seems only film can capture.
Nigel Grounds Gallery
Using bold, dramatic colours Nigel's paintings are stunning in the way they capture Skye's landscape. His gallery is probably the first you will encounter after leaving the Mallaig to Armadale ferry – it is literally 100 metres on the right hand side as you head towards the main road.
Nigel regularly exhibits his work in galleries across Scotland.
These are just a handful of the artists and photographers we have visited and our favourites so far. There are many to discover and we look forward to doing this on our future visits to Skye.

It's friday so I thought why not post something a bit different….even though it has nothing to do with Sikhs. It's just a flashback for me. I just happened upon one of my friend's myspace page and found a funny song which I remember hearing often in the 80's. While I was in boarding school in India (Mussoorie) we used to have a "town leave" around once a month where we got to go into the town of Mussoorie (which is a hill station in the mountains above Dehradun, India). During the town leave we used to sometimes go to this roller skating rink. Hey, it was the 80's, and roller skating was totally the "in" thing. This was a time when "Disco Divani" and Disco Dancing was popular (Even in India!). I remember hearing the song "I am a disco dancer" quite often during that time, and we used to joke about it. I think most of us students will remember this song.
I did a few searches online and found an actual video that someone posted online. Apparently the song was part of an Indian movie called "Disco Dancer".
It's quite funny watching the video which is a combination of bad dancing and cheesy gangtser fight scenes from the movie. This movie came out in 1982, so it is pretty old.
I wonder if others out there heard this song/movie when they were younger. This might be boring for many of you…but for me it was one of those silly things I remember from when I was a kid in India that we all joked about, so it was cool to see that it actually existed and wasn't just an imagined thing from my past. Who knows?? It was hard being a little kid and being in boarding school half way accross the world.
This was the same time when we had the Human Powered Ferris Wheel, and used to get rides while THIS very music was playing, and the guys that were spinning the ferris wheel would do tricks while they were spinning us around. Open up the picture and click on the large version and you'll see them in the center of the farris wheel.
You can watch the video below, or if you don't have broadband internet you can hear the audio clip

The team hid the Prototype ship in the gravity well of a nearby moon. It relayed a message to the other two ships to use the moon to plot a exit course and perform the jump to hyperspace. The Empire's ships followed those courses and also performed a sensor sweep of the area. Several tie fighters as well as a couple of Z-95 Headhunters were in the area performing the sweep. A few Asteroids caused a little trouble for the Z-95 pilots as they ran into it. They discovered the prototype and engaged the ship. After a brief battle the team was reinforced by Mindy Chest and Yak Zhan flying their own Z-95s. Mindy took several hits and it was ultimately her expert flying that saved her and a lucky shot from the prototype that hit her attacker. The tie fighters did some pretty good damage to the prototype but in the end the team crushed the opposition. After the battle Mindy and Yak docked with the prototype. The team was in the middle of accessing damage and status when a communication came in for Jedi Jax.Communication
A Deep Rich Voice cuts across the comms in a recorded message.
"To "Jedi" Jax…. and I use the term loosely. I am most impressed with your recent theft of the Prototype at the shipyards. I am sure your former Master Janistan would be sooooo pleased with your progress in his ancient tradition. You have thwarted me for the last time and I am more than positive that you did so unknowingly. Let me spell it out for you since you will have no idea what I am talking about. That is my ship you are on. I had it commissioned. Too bad you couldn't wait until the hyper drive was installed. My technician keeps me informed of all changes lucky for me he was not onboard when you took off on my ship. Imagine my surprise to find out someone had the gall to steal my ship. You all left trails a baby could follow and it only took a few questions of the proper people to gain your name.
I should have you removed from existence…. but I am not a murder as your former Master would have you believe. I know nothing I say will change your mind of that fact so I will not waste my time doing so. I will however, give you a once in a lifetime opportunity…………… cease your quest of me and leave my ship at the coordinates I will give you after I have your pledge to end your chase of my being. Leave a message at this general channel within 1 hour. I will be monitoring the channel and if I hear the words "I so Pledge", then I know it will be your agreement to the terms.
Take this time to think it over. If you think me powerless to stop you then think again. THAT IS MY SHIP THE FIRST THING I HAD THEM DO WAS MAKE IT SO I COULD FIND IT ANYTIME I WANTED. SPEAK TO WHOEVER MIGHT BE ONBOARD ANY TIME I WANTED. I WILL TURN THE COORDINATES OVER TO THE EMPIRE AND CDF SO FAST IT WILL MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN. THEY WILL TAKE YOU INTO CUSTODY AND THEN YOU WILL BE MINE TO DO WITH AS I PLEASE.
By the way murder is bad business and I know you didn't mean to murder Julius but that doesn't make it any less heinous. Murder is murder and if I were you… I wouldn't go back to Yag'Dhul anytime soon as there is a warrant for you and your accomplices.
If you are smart you will get out of this game and go find a life somewhere. Get a wife and raise a whelp. Basically I am saying amateur hour is over and it is time to live a long and safe life.
To your continued health and good sense I look forward to hearing those 3 tiny words. The clock is ticking."
The team decided to buy some time by responding to the message with the three words just prior to the time limit. While they were scanning for devices, fixing the hyperdrive and blind jumping to hyperspace. They believe they found the tracking device and made a jump but they do not know where they jumped to.

Eva Mendes has heated up such films as "Hitch" and the upcoming "The Other Guys" and sizzled in the buff for Calvin Klein, but the star wants to be known for more than her good looks.
"I don't want 'sexy' to be my defining characteristic," she told the August 2010 issue of Allure magazine. "I'm definitely responsible for the image that I put out there… but… I'd love for my ambition and will and intellect and sense of humor to define me as well."
The star, who posed for the mag in a form-fitting leopard print top, added that her appeal may come from her healthy self-image.
"I have worked very hard to love myself, and I do," Eva said. "I think that's what people may respond to with me."
She also opened up on her long relationship with her boyfriend, director George Augusto, and explained why he doesn't tag along when she hits the red carpet.
"I understand that because of my profession, I need to be open to… a lot. But he doesn't. It's not fair to drag him into that," she added.
One leading man she does drag around? Her Belgian Malinois dog, Hugo – a bigger animal than the usual star pooch.
"We had the greatest cuddle session last night," she told the mag. "I love him. But yes, he's for protection."

June is Dairy Month! We're Always Fresh & Local
Dairy Month is a great time to share our appreciation for the family farms that provide us fresh, quality milk all year long!
We pick up milk every day, and bring it back to our dairy where it is pasteurized, not ultra-pasteurized (which gives the fresh flavor vs other milks with that cooked flavor), and bottled.
We deliver it to our own shops in 48 hours or less, so you know you are getting high quality at a great value.
And don't forget your Milk Club card!
Learn more about the process - or what's known as our vertical integration - in the video below.
