Posted by admin in India's Vulnerable & Theft Prone Nuclear Program on October 9th, 2018
In its report, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) disclosed on 18, this year that an estimated 110-130 Indian nuclear bombs are stored in six or so government-run sites across India. Within the next five years to one decade, as many as 60 reactors will also be functional in India with the active cooperation of the US-led western and far eastern allies.
In the past, several incidents of leakage and theft in addition to alarming episodes of lax security on existing nuclear sites given a history of civil tumult have occurred in India. India is notorious for highly lax security of its nuclear facilities. The episode of 8 October 2014 at Kalpakkam, when a soldier of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) responsible for protecting nuclear materials, went on a rampage to destroy the security of the facility leading to nuclear material theft by criminals. Many incidents in the past including theft and leakage incidents of 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2013 are alarming examples of what inside and outside officials depict as serious short-comings in India's nuclear safeguards.
India and Japan have a terrible record of nuclear reactor leakage due to various reasons which consequently proved disastrous. But, Indian poor nuclear security has broken all the records.
Indian media reported on July 5, this year that the Kolkata police have arrested five men with 1 kg of uranium valued at around Rs. 3 crores ($440,000).
The Times of India elaborated that the men had come to Kolkata in the state of West Bengal to try to sell the substance. Police was quoted as saying that two packets of a "yellow-coloured substance" were seized.
It is notable that when the US former President Barack Obama hosted the fourth Nuclear Security Summit in Washington on March 31, 2016 to check the spread of nuclear weapons, showing concerns about the ambitions of terrorist groups such as the ISIS in acquiring a nuclear weapon or radioactive material, , the US President Donald Trump had taken a different stand in his interview with the CNN by stating, "More nuclear weapons could make the world safer…US can no longer afford to bankroll the defence of its allies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East…Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia may need arsenals to confront threats in their region on their own."
Similarly, by pursuing the double standards of America and some Western countries in its worst form, President Trump also favoured India, while opposing the nuclear weapons of Pakistan. Because, being the only nuclear country in the Islamic World, Pakistan annoys the US, Israel and some Western countries. It is Zionist agenda to 'denculearise' Pakistan. However, like Obama, Trump has brushed aside the ground realities that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi led by the ruling fundamentalist party BJP has been implementing anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan agenda.
As part of their double game, these US-led countries have ignored poor Indian record of nuclear security, non-proliferation, lack of safety of workers, working at Indian nuclear facilities and lack of any appropriate regulatory authority.
Indian record proves various kinds of security and safety lapses regarding various nuclear plants and the related sensitive materials, including events of leakage, nuclear theft, smuggling and killing.
In this regard, in November 2009, more than 90 Indian workers suffered radiation due to contamination of drinking water at the Kaiga Atomic Power Station in Karnataka.
On July 27, 1991, a similar event occurred at the heavy water plant run by the Department of Atomic Energy at Rawatbhata in Rajasthan. Nuclear radiation had affected and injured many labourers there.
In July 1998, India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seized eight Kg. of nuclear material from three engineers in Chennai, which was stolen from an atomic research centre.
On November 7, 2000, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) disclosed that Indian police had seized 57 pounds of uranium and arrested two men for illicit trafficking of radioactive material. IAEA had revealed that Indian civil nuclear facilities were vulnerable to thefts.
On January 26, 2003, CNN pointed out that Indian company, NEC Engineers Private Ltd. shipped ten consignments to Iraq, containing highly sensitive equipment entailing titanium vessels and centrifugal pumps.
In December 2006, a container packed with radioactive material had been stolen from an Indian fortified research atomic facility near Mumbai.
In June 2009, India's nuclear scientist, Lokanathan Mahalingam missed from the scenario and after a couple of days; his dead body was recovered from the Kali River. Indian police concocted a story that Mahalingam had committed suicide by jumping into the river. It is a big joke to hide some real facts behind his death because wisdom proves that if an educated person decides to commit suicide, he will adopt a soft way to eliminate his life. Afterwards, Dr Haleema Saadia said that the death of the scientist was a conspiracy.
Nevertheless, such events in connection with nuclear material continued unabated in India, putting the security of atomic weapons and their related components, including the lives of workers at high risk.
It is mentionable that during his first visit to New Delhi, on November 6, 2010. President Obama announced the measures, America would take regarding removal of Indian space and defence companies from a restricted "entities list", and supported Indian demand membership of four critical global nuclear nonproliferation regimes.
And as part of the double standards about India and Pakistan, America set aside the poor Indian record regarding the safety of nuclear weapons and related materials. Despite, Indian violations of various international agreements and its refusal to sign Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and Additional Protocol with the IAEA, Washington signed a pact of civil nuclear technology with New Delhi in 2008. During American
President Barack Obama's visit to India, on January 25, 2016, the US and India announced a breakthrough on the pact which would allow American companies to supply New Delhi with civilian nuclear technology.
Notably, America is a potential military supplier to India. The US also pressurised IAEA and the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) to grant a waiver to New Delhi for obtaining civil nuclear trade on a larger scale.
Evidence indicates that India has not fulfilled the conditions of the NSG waiver. At least, eight of India's nuclear reactors are outside safeguards which are a big question mark on the credibility of its nuclear safety and security standards. Two reports from the King's College–respectively titled 'India's Nuclear Exceptionalism' and 'India's Strategic Nuclear and Missile Programs' also claim that India has already accumulated nuclear material for over 2600 nuclear weapons, including all of its unsafeguarded reactor-grade plutonium, which is weapon-usable, and raised concerns over this stockpiling.
In fact, in the pretext of countering China, Washington has continued favouring India's programme of advancement and modernisation of nuclear weapons. The US supports the Indian nuclear programme in the guise of anti-China and anti-Pakistan approach. Beijing is apprehensive about the emerging threat, as, during the last visit of Obama to New Delhi, the intent of President Obama and Indian Prime Minister Modi was quite clear while mentioning about free sea lanes and air passages in the South China Sea. President Trump is also pursuing the policy of his predecessor in this respect, as in the recent past, during his meeting with Prime Minister Modi, he showed a similar approach.
Nonetheless, arms deals with America, which also include nuclear submarines to New Delhi, would increase Indian hegemonic designs in the region. And NSG's membership in India will create concerns for regional strategic stability.
Besides obtaining atomic weapons from the US and other Western countries, New Delhi is, clandestinely, importing nuclear arms, components and submarines from Tel Aviv. In this connection, Zionist-led Indo-Israeli secret diplomacy could be assessed from the interview of Israel's ambassador to India, Mark Sofer, published in the Indian weekly Outlook on February 18, 2008. Regarding India's defence arrangements with Tel Aviv, Sofer had surprisingly revealed, "We do have a defence relationship with India, and "with all due respect, the secret part will remain a secret."
Although these atomic weapons seem to be mysterious, yet still could be within reach of some Hindu terrorists with the help of RAW which might have also got these destructive arms from Mossad. Such atomic weapons or radiological materials could have also been smuggled inside India by the Hindu fundamentalists with the covert assistance of RAW.
Frustrated in isolating Islamabad, RAW in connivance with Mossad might have prepared a most dangerous plan to use nuclear weapons or dirty nuclear bombs inside the US homeland or any major European country to implicate Pakistan for having allegedly used these weapons through some Taliban militants.
Mainly, RAW and Mossad may also employ these lethal weapons against NATO forces in Afghanistan, as India and Israel want to prolong the stay of the US-led NATO troops in Afghanistan which have become the centre of their covert activities against Pakistan, Russia, China and Iran. RAW and Mossad may use terrorists of the Islamic State outfit (Also known as Daesh, ISIS and ISIL) which are strategic assets of the CIA for employment of these unconventional weapons. While, India, Israel and America are also playing double game against one another, hence, by utilizing the vicious circle of terrorism, New Delhi can alone use these weapons through Afghanistan-based Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and ISIS which are also being backed by RAW, CIA and Mossad, and have claimed responsibility for several terror assaults inside Pakistan and Afghanistan, including the recent ones. So, RAW's sole aim will be to provoke Americans and its allies against Islamabad which is challenging Indian hegemony in the region. Thus, Indian RAW could create a dangerous misunderstanding in which the US could use small nuclear weapons against Pakistan or could ask the latter of rollback its atomic programme.
Undoubtedly, in such an environment, considering India qualified for acquiring of nuclear technology through "global powers" led NSG and IAEA and obstructing Pakistan's safe nuclear energy programme is discriminatory as well as an effort to hinder peace and economic progress of Pakistan. And hazardous materials in nuclear facilities patrolled by low morale CISF troops across India are also liable to be stolen by insiders having grievances against employers and typical Hindu mindset of Indian leadership. Indian sponsored ISIS elements could use these stolen materials. Washington and its other allies, instead of pressing India for quick nuclear reforms are encouraging India to expand its nuclear stockpiles. The US-led West need to take cognisance of such ventures rather than criticising Pak-China civil nuclear cooperation.
In light of these adverse developments, we can conclude that Indian insecure nuclear programme is threatening regional and global peace. Therefore, the world's various forums such as EU and UNO, including Russia should also take cognisance of New Delhi in this regard.

Additional Readings
Nuclear power plants are designed to withstand natural disasters like earthquakes. In France, for instance, nuclear plants are designed to withstand an earthquake twice as strong as that experienced in the past 1,000 years. In India, the Kakrapar Atomic Power Station, Rajasthan Atomic Power Station, Tarapur Atomic Power Station and Narora Atomic Power Station operated safely when earthquakes of lower intensity were felt. The plants, however, could not withstand a tsunami. The campus of Kalpakkam Atomic Reprocessing Plant was flooded when the tsunami hit Tamil Nadu's coast in 2004.
Catch-22 situation
In India, every region falls in the seismic zone in some way, said Durgesh Rai of IIT Kanpur. "Most of our nuclear plants are in weak seismic zones but lie in coastal areas. Their structure is earthquake-resistant but they have not been tested against tsunami. The entire coastal region is believed to be vulnerable to tsunami," he said. Nuclear plants are built near the sea because sea water is required to cool the reactor.
What happened during the Fukushima incident in Japan
The power plant survived the earthquake and was shut down. Limits are set on the levels of velocity, acceleration and displacement in every power plant. The plant stopped functioning when the limits exceeded. The atomic reaction thus stopped. When the plant stopped functioning, seawater used to cool the reactor stopped flowing. The diesel generators that were to feed water to the power plant also apparently shut down. Thus, the cores began to heat up.
Though the fission of radioactive elements was stopped, some reactions continued generating a great deal of heat. Without cooling, the temperature rose, boiling off the remaining water and increasing pressure leading to an explosion.
The plant that survived an earthquake earlier in Japan
In 1995, the Kobe-Osaka earthquake did not affect the nuclear power plant just 110 km from Kobe. After the 7.2 magnitude earthquake, a panel was set up to review the safety of nuclear facilities in Japan and design guidelines for their construction. The Japanese Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) approved the panel's report. After recalculating the seismic design criteria required for a nuclear power plant to survive near the epicentre of an earthquake of high intensity, the NSC concluded that under current guidelines the plant could survive a 7.75 magnitude quake.
Location of nuclear power plants in India
Earthquake-prone regions are categorised between Zones I and IX from least earthquake-prone to most earthquake-prone. Indian nuclear power plants are situated in Zone II and III except the Narora plant in Uttar Pradesh, which is situated in Zone IV. Japan's nuclear plants are in Zones VII, VIII and IX.
Posted by admin in CURRENT EVENTS, India Exported Terrorism in Pakistan, INDIAN GOVTS LIES EXPOSED, Pakistan Army War on Terror on December 30th, 2017
On December 31, 2014, Indian security agencies orchestrated a terror-related fake boat drama to defame Pakistan in the world. In this regard, Indian media and high officials unfolded the drama on the New Year's eve by allegedly reporting that a Pakistani fishing boat as a Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was intercepted by Indian Coast Guards, some 356 km. off the coast of Porbandar, Gujarat. Taking a new twist which overturned Indian aspersions in accusing Pakistan, the Indian government had claimed that it had foiled another 26/11-type attack of Mumbai.
As per Indian Coast Guard IG, K R Nautiyal, an operation was undertaken on a precise intelligence tip and boat was ordered to stop, but it did not comply and sped away. Propagating that Pakistani terrorists had been apprehended by the Indian Coast Guard on the high seas and, after a long chase, when warning shots had been fired, the 'terrorists' had blown themselves up.
Indian Coast Guard officials stated that nobody or debris was found due to bad weather. Moreover, it was also stated that search was on for another boat which they fear was in communication with the capsized boat.
The Pakistani media said that the Indian media was playing up the incident without establishing proper links to terrorism. The incident was strongly rejected by Pakistan's Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam, terming it as mere propaganda aimed at tarnishing Pakistan's image. She elaborated, "Pakistan expects India to conduct a transparent probe to ascertain the facts of the boat incident while highlighting that its own investigation had shown that there was no sound evidence to substantiate India's assertions. On the so-called terror boat incident, India has not approached Pakistan through diplomatic channels."
However, the boat incident had also stirred a controversy within India itself. Indian National Congress had stated that it has doubts on government's version of Porbandar incident. The ruling party BJP in response had stated that Congress was lending credence to Pakistani stance. In this regard, hitting at Congress, BJP President Amit Shah asked the opposition party, whether it was fighting elections in India or Pakistan.
It is notable that 48 hours after the incident, the Indian officials had started portraying another version by suggesting that the boat which had left Keti Bandar, Karachi might have belonged to small-time smugglers.
And it was not possible that 30 HP boat could run four state of the art Indian Coast Guard ships. The media clips showed only fire damage to the boat, whereas, in case of an explosion, as suggested by the Indians, a complete boat which was small in size, would have torn to pieces.
Indian officials said that wreckage and dead bodies could not be recovered due to bad weather, whereas, open source met data forecasted fair weather. The argument is supplemented by the fact that small boats do not operate in deep open waters unless the weather is clear.
Meanwhile, despite the insistence of Islamabad, no solid proof was provided by Indian authorities about the incident, and no inquiry reports were shared with local and international media. Hence, Pakistan launched a strong diplomatic protest at UNO, demanding impartial inquiry which could expose Indian fabricated story regarding the Boat episode.
Nevertheless, we cannot see the event in isolation. The aim of that stereotype Indian orchestrated boat drama was to create an aura against Pakistan prior to US President Barrack Obama's visit (25-27 Jan. 2015) to India and put pressure on Pakistan government on Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi's bail issue and allege LeT as an organization, posing regional threats. Prior to Obama's visit, Indian propaganda was also part of overall plan to malign Pakistan of sponsoring terrorist activities in India. New Delhi, for the last few months, was propagating conduct of terrorist activities by LeT inside India.
It is noteworthy that on December 13, 2001, Indian parliament was attacked by five terrorists. Without any evidence, Indian top officials and TV channels started a blame game against Pakistan by involving the banned Lashkar-e-Tayba and Pakistan's primary intelligence agency ISI in relation to the parliament assault.
While, regarding the November 26 Mumbai terror attacks, Indian rulers and media had again started a blame game against Pakistan, propagating that Indian Mujahideen, the banned Lashkar-e-Tayba and ISI were behind the Mumbai carnage.
Availing the pretext of the parliament attack and Mumbai catastrophe, New Delhi had, twice, suspended the process of dialogue with Islamabad in wake of its highly provocative actions like the mobilization of troops. Pakistan had also taken defensive steps to meet any Indian prospective aggression or surgical strikes. But, India failed in implementing its aggressive plans, because Pakistan also possesses atomic weapons.
It is of particular attention that on July 19, 2013, the Indian former home ministry and ex-investigating officer Satish Verma revealed that terror-attacks in Mumbai in November 26, 2008, and assault on Indian Parliament in December 13, 2001, were carried out by the Indian government to strengthen anti-terrorism laws.
It has clearly proved that Indian secret agencies; particularly RAW arranged coordinated terror attacks on the Indian parliament and in Mumbai and orchestrated those dramas only to defame Pakistan in the world, but also to fulfil a number of other aims.
It is mentionable that during the talks between the prime ministers of India and Pakistan, at Ufa, Islamabad had conveyed to New Delhi a comprehensive agenda to discuss all outstanding issues, including Kashmir as well as terrorism. But, New Delhi's insistence to restrict the agenda for the dialogue to terrorism or cross-border terrorism only, demonstrated India's confused policy towards Pakistan.
Indian foreign secretary-level talks were held in Islamabad on March 3, 2015. In this connection, Indian External Affairs Secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Pakistani Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry discussed contentious issues including Jammu and Kashmir, Siachen, Sir Creek and other bilateral issues. While, in 2014, India postponed the Secretary-level talks with Pakistan; under the pretext that during his Indian visit Sartaj Aziz met Kashmiri leaders.
In fact, a lack of seriousness on India's part to settle all disputes, especially Kashmir issue has compelled New Delhi to follow a self-contradictory and confused strategy towards Islamabad. Hence, New Delhi earnestly found various pretexts like the parliament attack and Mumbai mayhem to cancel peace talks.
Particularly, on May 27, 2014, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Shariff in the oath-taking ceremony proved faultless, because Modi raised baseless issues like terrorism as pre-condition to advance the Pak-Indian dialogue. He said that slow pace of trial against the terrorists of the Mumbai 26/11 terror case; being held in Pakistan is the main hurdle.
As regards the case of cross-border terrorism, India has shown ambivalent approach which can be judged from various recent developments. In this respect, on July 27, 2015, three gunmen dressed in army uniforms killed at least seven people, including three civilians and four policemen in the Indian district of Gurdaspur, Punjab.
Without any investigation, Indian high officials and media began accusing Pakistan, its banned militant outfits and intelligence agencies of the Gurdaspur incident. Indian Police remarked that the attackers are from Indian-held Kashmir, and some said that they were Sikh separatists, while Indian Punjab police chief claimed that the three gunmen were Muslim, but as yet unidentified. Contradicting speculations, India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh told parliament that the gunmen came from Pakistan.
Khalistan Movement Chief Manmohan Singh stated that the Gurdaspur incident is "a conspiracy of Indian secret agency RAW to defame Pakistan."
However, continuing false flag operations, on Setember18, 2016, India also staged the drama of the terror attack in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) at a military base in Uri, close to the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan.
Like the previous terrorism-related events, without any investigation, Indian media, civil and military high officials started blaming LeT and ISI, saying that the militants who target the Uri base came from Pakistan's side of Azad Kashmir. In this respect, a senior Home Ministry official and a spokesman of the Indian army allegedly said, "It is clearly a case of cross-border terror attack…the militants infiltrated across the Line of Control from Pakistan before attacking the base in Uri."
The situation developed in the aftermath of the Uri base terror assault like creation of Indian war hysteria against Pakistan, mobilization of troops near the LoC, exposure of the myth of Indian surgical strikes inside Azad Kashmir, differences between Indian Prime Minister Modi and Country's Army Chief Gen. Dalbir Sing about the 'fake video' of this episode, criticism Modi government inside India, continuous violations at the LoC, targeting villages of Azad Kashmir etc., and diversion of attention from the new phase of uprising in the Indian held Kashmir where Indian security forces have martyred more than 300 innocent Kashmiris since July 8, 2016, who have been protesting against the martyrdom of the young Kashmir leader Burhan Wani by the Indian security forces in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) in wake of continued sieges and prolonged curfews have clearly proved that with the help of Indian intelligence agencies, especially RAW, India has itself arranged the Uri base assault not only to defame Pakistan abroad but also to achieve a number of sinister designs.
Nonetheless, all these terror attacks were planned by Indian security agencies to distort the image of Pakistan and its primary intelligence agency, ISI, linking it with the banned group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
India intends to obtain various hidden purposes by blaming Islamabad for terrorism. First of all, it wants to divert the attention of the international community from the involvement of RAW which has well-established its network in Afghanistan, and is fully assisting cross-border incursions and terror-activities in various regions of Pakistan through Baloch separatist elements, Jundullah, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Islamic State group (Also known as Daesh, ISIS and ISIL) including their affiliated outfits. On a number of occasions, these insurgent groups claimed responsibility for their acts of sabotage.
With the backing of American CIA and Israeli Mossad, New Delhi is also trying to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Recent terror attacks in various regions of Pakistan and particularly in the Balochistan province might be noted as an instance. Indian RAW has also created a heavily funded China-Pakistan and Afghanistan specific desk to target growing Pak-China-Afghanistan relations.
Notably, Islamabad has raised the question of Indian cross-border terrorism and RAW involvement in Pakistan at the UNO forum, with strong evidence which was also shown to the US.
As a matter of fact, on the basis of anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan slogans, BJP got a land sliding victory in the Indian elections 2014. Hence, Prime Minister Modi is giving impetus to Hindu chauvinism against Pakistan and the Muslims, while implementing the agenda of Hindutva (Hindu nationalism). Under Modi rule, extremists Hindu fundamentalist outfits have intensified assaults on the Muslims and Pakistani artists, famous literary persons—members of the cricket boards etc., and even on moderate Hindus.
Renowned thinkers, Hobbes, Machiavelli and Morgenthau opine that sometimes, rulers act upon immoral activities like deceit, fraud and falsehood to fulfil their countries' selfish aims. But such a sinister politics was replaced by new trends such as fair-dealings, reconciliation and economic development. Regrettably, India is still following past politics in the modern era.
It is established fact that as part of an anti-Pakistan move, the BJP-led government which is continuously manipulating the double standards of the US-led Western countries in relation to New Delhi and Islamabad arranged fake boat drama to not only to defame Pakistan in the world but also to obtain Indian sinister designs against Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD: The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) released on Tuesday a confessional video statement of Indian spy agent Kulbushan Jadhav admitting to foment terrorism in Balochistan and Karachi.
He was arrested red-handed by law-enforcement agencies in the first week of the current month while infiltrating into Pakistan from the Saravan border area of Balochistan with Iran.
Following is the full text of his voluntary confession shown at a press conference jointly addressed by Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid and ISPR Director General Lieutenant General Asim Saleem Bajwa at the Press Information Department.
"My name is Commander Kulbushan Jadhav and I am the serving officer of Indian Navy. I am from the cadre of the engineering department of Indian Navy and my cover name was Hussein Mubarak Patel, which I had taken for doing some intelligence gathering for Indian agencies."
"I joined the National Defence Academy in 1987 and subsequently joined Indian Navy in Jan 1991 and subsequently served in the Indian Navy till around December 2001 when the Parliament attack occurred and that is when I started contributing my services towards gathering of information and intelligence within India."
"I live in the city of Mumbai in India. I am still the serving officer in the Indian Navy and will be due for retirement by 2022 as a commissioned officer in Indian Navy after having completed 14 years of service by 2002."
"I commenced intelligence operation in 2003 and established a small business in Chabahar in Iran as I was able to achieve undetected existence and visits to Karachi in 2003 and 2004 and having done some basic assignments within India for RAW."
"I was picked up by RAW in 2013 end. Ever since I have been directing various activities in Balochistan and Karachi at the behest of RAW and deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi, I was basically the man for Mr Ani Kumar Gupta who is the joint secretary of RAW and his contacts in Pakistan especially in Balochistan Student Organisation."
"My purpose was to hold meetings with Baloch insurgents and carry out activities with their collaboration."
"These activities have been of criminal nature, leading to the killing of or maiming of Pakistani citizens."
"I realize during this process that RAW is involved in some activities related to the Baloch liberation movement within Pakistan and the region around it."
"There are finances which are fed into the Baloch movement through various contacts or various ways and means into the Baloch liberation (movement) and various activities of the Baloch liberation and RAW handlers go towards activities which are criminal, which are anti-national, which can lead to maiming or killing of people within Pakistan and mostly these activities were centred around of what I have knowledge is of ports of Gwadar, Pasni Jewani and various other installations, which are around the coast damaging various other installations, which are in Balochistan.
"So the activity seems to be evolving and trying to create a criminal sort of mindset within the Baloch liberation which leads to instability within Pakistan. In my pursuit towards achieving the set targets by my handlers in RAW, I was trying to cross over into Pakistan from the Saravan border in Iran on March 3, 2016, and was apprehended by Pakistani authorities while on the Pakistani side and the main aim of this crossing over into Pakistan was to hold (a) meeting with Baloch separatists in Balochistan for carrying out various activities, which they were supposed to undertake and carrying backwards the messages which had to deliver to Indian agencies."
"The main issues regarding this were that they were planning to conduct some operations within the next immediate (near) future so that was to be discussed mainly and that was the main aim of trying to coming into Pakistan."
"So that moment I realised that my intelligence operations have been compromised on my being detained in Pakistan, I revealed that I am an Indian naval officer, and it is on mentioning that I am Indian naval officer, the total perception of the establishment of the Pakistani side changed and they treated me very honourably and they did utmost respect and due regards and have handled me subsequently on a more professional and proper courteous way and they have handled me in a way that befits that of an officer and once I realised that I have been compromised in my process of intelligence operations, I decided to just end the mess I have landed myself in and just wanted to subsequently move on and cooperate with the authorities in removing complications which I have landed myself and my family members into, and whatever I am stating just now, it is the truth and it is not under any duress or pressure. I am doing it totally out of my own desire to mention and come clean out of this entire process which I have gone through last 14 years."

A colleague referred to as me over the eve of Christmas saying that she required to see my family physician. I bought the point in the panic in her voice and that i was right buy condoms online. She miscalculated the safe and sound period of time for intercourse and now, the pregnancy kit confirmed optimistic. She was married but she did not count on a little one for being on the way so soon.
So, there we have been. On Christmas day, confronted which has a problem of whether the few was prepared for a infant in addition to, a particular total of regret in not working with protection. I believed the a single week when she had for making the decision irrespective of whether or never to keep the infant was most anxious for her, her husband and me.
I used to be remaining questioning after the complete episode regardless of whether it absolutely was really worth many of the hassle. Why would anybody wish to be nervous about these types of a superb point like a being pregnant? Why cannot men and women just be mindful and strategy a family as opposed to ensure it is a alternatively unwelcome function?
My pal advised me how she would generally inspire her husband to produce enjoy with no the condom. It someway created her come to feel a lot more contented. Later on I felt that she was misled mainly because in all probability, they by no means tried out to experiment or perhaps exploration.
You can find so many different types of condoms on the market to pick from, even types that make you very last extended. Nevertheless, while deciding on condoms, one should not make the error of selecting oversized kinds. Some adult men have big organs but they are definitely a minority. Most gentlemen have average-sized penises, which have to have smaller condoms to average-sized ones. It might be unwise for them to wear massive condoms.
The average dimension of a condom is 7 plus a fifty percent inches lengthy and two inches large. Significant condoms may perhaps just be more substantial by 50 percent an inch or a person inch. But, now, you can find condoms which happen to be ten inches in duration.
Some research have demonstrated that ladies are more pleased with small and normal penises than with huge kinds. A close-fitting condom would give significantly less irritation and would sense normal when compared with a single which leaves some space concerning. Also, an oversized condom increases the probabilities of leakage and slip-off.
It could be good if you as well as your spouse did slightly reading through on the proper dimensions of condoms as well as, take a look at the store and seek out manufacturers that you may not have tried. A lot of people disregard measurement whenever they obtain condoms, wanting much more on the texture along with other functions. Generally, it is not the length that triggers hassle even so the width. As the condom may be made of latex, it could be stretched to some extent during erection. But, it might be tight on the shaft or head. If this is actually the situation, try going for the variety which supplies far more width in the ends.

Animal Farm by George Orwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
To be honest, this particular novel is one that should be read as part of the curriculum for a high school or even college-level lit class. I'm bummed that I didn't get to read this in high school or college, and I think the main reason I didn't enjoy it (as much as I should have) is because I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it with a classmate/ colleague. There really isn't much to say about Orwell other than this man was a genius author and a master of satire. Seriously, everyone should read this, but there is definitely a time and a place for it.
I know you really shouldn't compare an author's works to one another, but 1984 is still my favorite from Orwell. There's just something so unsettling about it, unlike this book. Don't get me wrong, it's still thought-provoking, especially when you do some research- which I highly suggest you do- on the state of the world when this was written. If you're unfamiliar with 20th century Russian politics and history, do yourself a favor and refresh your memory before attempting to tackle this beast. Seriously, look it up and you'll get so much more out of this book!
I have to say, I love that this is considered a short novel based on the page count, but this one will leave you with lots of questions and possibly the urge to dig deeper into the Russian Revolution and the country's shift into Stalinism (which, I suppose, it the entire purpose of this book).

I am so excited to have received my very first VoxBox from Influenster! After just a few days, with only adding my social media/blog accounts, and reviewing maybe 3 items, I got an e-mail saying I was receiving a box from Origins GinZing™! I received these products complimentary to test out, which we all know is my favorite thing to do, AND they are full size!
I have received a small sample from ipsy (I believe) of one of these products, and I use it fairly regularly, so I had high hopes for these products. I was thrilled when I got my package, but I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. I opened it up later, and I was surprised to have received full size products, because I'm used to getting sample boxes.
The box has a "WAKE UP!" theme, as everything in the box is supposed to "instantly energize & hydrate skin". According to the card that was provided in the box, these "energizers" are formulated with coffee to"wake up, revitalize, & restore radiance to tired skin." I've said before that I have dull and tired skin, so I'm ready to give these a try!
Since these are made to help you wake up, I decided I would use them the following morning.
Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Scrub Cleanser
I don't use exfoliants everyday, because I find many of them to be harsh and they strip my sensitive skin, leaving it vulnerable to breakouts. That being said, I was weary to test this out. I've used another brand's "wake up" scrub in the past, and it didn't do much.
The first thing you notice when you push the top open, is the scent. It smells like citrus/lemon, which is not my favorite. I get that the smell is part of what is supposed to wake you up and energize you, but it's just not my thing. This scrub felt soft and kind to my skin, and once I rinsed it off, my skin felt clean and soft, and my skin looked brighter and even whiter. My skin didn't feel like it had been completely stripped, and I'm excited that I may have found an exfoliant that is kind to my skin. Wow, make that only the second one I think I've ever discovered.
The Origins website states that this is actually for dry/normal skin, which mine isn't currently, so I'm even more excited to try this in the winter. You can purchase the same size I have (5 oz.) on their website, or from Sephora for $20.50. At that price, I probably wouldn't have even purchased this item, so I'm glad I received this complimentary!
I give this a thumbs up! It's kind and made my face feel nice and clean. However, I don't like the scent and it seems pretty pricey.
Origins GinZing™ Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer
I usually use a moisturizer after I have used a cleanser, so I decided to go ahead and try it out after the cleanser I just tried. I don't think I've ever used a moisturizer in gel form, usually it's a cream, so this was different for me. The tub that this came in, was packaged in a small box that is made from 50% post-consumer recycled fiber, and the carton was manufactured using only wind or hydropower. Yes! I love it!
It's oil-free (awesome), and can be used for normal, dry, and oily skin. The Origins website states it is supposed to "instantly hydrates and revs up radiance. It's fortified with legendary skin-boosters like Panax Ginseng and Coffee Bean. Lackluster-looking skin is rapidly refreshed and revitalized to create a healthy, vibrant glow. Sounds good to me! Now, let's try it out to see how it is!
Again, the first thing you notice is that strong citrus scent. Then you stick your fingers into this tub of moisturizer, and it just feels strange. It felt weird to put on my skin, and I haven't decided how I feel about it yet. I think I may try it after my regular cleanser, but maybe the gel just doesn't work as well with me. My skin feels pretty soft, but my regular moisturizer feels better when applying and drying. There's no doubt it's a good moisturizer, but I think I'm more comfortable with my regular product.
You can purchase the same size I have (1.7 oz) from the Origins website or Sephora for $28.50. Like I said, I think this is a great moisturizer, just not for me. I also think it's a bit pricey for moisturizer. I'll give this a side thumbs (I know, I'm weird), because although it may not be right for me, it is probably great for others.
Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream To Brighten and Depuff
I have had puffy eyes and dark circles under my eyes my entire life, and so do many people in my family. I've had to cover up dark circles since the first time I started putting on makeup, but not very well, mind you. I actually have a sample of this, and I've been using it off and on for months. I actually used it daily for a while, and then my sample started to dwindle, so I started using it less for it to last longer, ha.
According to the Origins website, it is made for dry, normal, and oil skin, and it claims to "instantly reduces dark circles". It continues by stating "Unsightly bags and puffiness virtually disappear. It's formulated with Coffee Beans, Panax Ginseng, Magnolia Extract and natural optic brighteners. Rapidly wakes up, refreshes and restores radiance to tired eyes."
This product doesn't have a citrus smell, but I can smell alcohol. It is a pink color, and it looks like it has some shine to it. A little bit goes a long way! It feels weird to put this on so close to your eye, but it gets the job done. I've used this before putting on makeup in the past, and it works just fine!
You can purchase this item (0.5 oz) on the Origins website or Sephora for $31.00. I would give this product a thumbs up! It doesn't smell like citrus, and it works, but that is quite expensive for this small amount of eye cream.
Overall, this was a great skin care box! The brand seems to make great formulas, just with terrible scents. I don't know many people who are aware of this brand, but that may also be because it is so expensive.
Let me know what you think of these products and this brand. Don't forget to follow, like, comment, and check out instagram and twitter.

Running for the 7:45: The effects of public transit improvements on commuter stress
- 921 Downloads
- Citations
This research project took advantage of the implementation of a major mass transit improvement by New Jersey Transit which provided a "one-seat ride" into New York City for many commuters who previously had to transfer in Hoboken in order to take Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) trains into New York City. The creation of this new service provided a natural experiment in which some riders switched to the new route, while others continued to use their previous route. We studied psychological and psychophysiological responses to these commuting options, using a quasi-experimental, pre-post change, field research design.
We found that riders on this new line had lower levels of stress, as multiply measured, than they had earlier, before the advent of this new train, or than did other riders currently using the Hoboken-PATH option. The stress effects seemed to be mediated by the time of the trip – that is, the reduced trip time of the new, direct service seemed to be a primary factor in the reduced stress to riders. Predictability of the trip was also inversely correlated with stress, but did not distinguish between the commuter groups. These results were largely replicated with a student group who rode the same lines acting as simulated commuters.

Racial disparity persists in Champaign law enforcement system
April 23, 2018
Filed under Around Campus, Campus Life, Champaign-Urbana, Crime, News, State
"Eager" is a word that makes Amy Felty, a member of the Champaign Human Relations Commission, cringe when she hears it used to describe new recruits at the Champaign Police Department. She can't help but wonder what makes them so excited about making arrests. Felty thinks this attitude is due to a problematic race concept known as implicit bias.
In October 2017, the Champaign County Racial Justice Task Force issued an inmate report two years in the making. The task force was originally created as a result of the 2012 proposal to start a $20-million renovation on the Champaign County Jail, expanding it to hold more inmates, according to the RJTF.
Some people in the community were upset by the proposal and protested the jail's decision. One organization, Build Programs Not Jails, rose from the debate.
James Kilgore, member of Build Programs Not Jails, considers himself to be anti-incarceration, meaning that he believes the jail system should reduce its inmate population.
Kilgore said he believes any money spent on reconstructing the jail would be better spent on programs to keep people out of jail in the first place. One of the main issues Kilgore believes the criminal justice system should find a solution to is the mass incarceration of people who do not need to be in jail, specifically black people who do not.
According to the Champaign County Jail records, a large amount of bookings and people incarcerated are serving time for crimes that do not typically have jail time as a punishment. Instead, these people are serving time because they could not afford to pay their bond to be released.
Over time, the debate became less about the controversy of a jail expansion and more about the apparent racial and socioeconomic disparities within the Champaign criminal justice system, Kilgore said.
"We have structures that, in many ways, disproportionately criminalize people of color," said Sam Byndom, co-chair for RJTF.
Byndom describes this system by using steps. He said that at every step in the judicial system — policing, judging and jailing — there are discriminatory procedures taken to punish black people and let white people off with a warning.
From January 2007 to March 2018, 81,716 people have been booked by the Champaign jail, and 37 percent of these people have been white non-hispanics, according to the Champaign County Jail official records.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 70 percent of Champaign County is white and non-hispanic as of 2016. About 30 percent of the population makes up other races; however, this category makes up about 63 percent of the Champaign jail. The RJTF sees this as an obvious racial disparity.
"When we talk about implicit bias, it doesn't come from thin air," Byndom said. "We have systems of oppression that have been in place for hundreds of years. Most people aren't willing or able to engage in those conversations, about the racialization, about the way in which it is that race operates within the local context."
Byndom said in order for the community to counteract its implicit bias, it needs to see it as a real issue. Byndom said this is a problem because most people don't care enough about the disparities to change their mindset.
"I think it's one thing to say that 'Yes, the disparities in the criminal justice system are bad. They're horrible.' It's another thing to actually care and begin to implement action which drastically changes it," Byndom said.
Felty, board member of the RJTF, agrees with Byndom. She said police officers need to understand the predisposed judgements they are making in order to progress as a society.
"We've never had equality in this country, ever," Felty said. "I think we are, as a human race, growing past this, but implicit bias is something that we have to tackle really hard because people have to understand what it is."
Katie Blakeman, Champaign County circuit clerk, said her office takes the recommendations given in the Racial Justice Report very seriously.
"In our hiring processes, we actively work to make sure our staff reflects the community that we work for," Blakeman said.
Additionally, Blakeman said the Circuit Clerk's office actively participates in diversity training for its employees so they understand how to prevent cases of implicit bias.
Kilgore said he finds it difficult to believe that it's taken society so long to come to an understanding on topics such as racialization and poverty.
"I think Champaign-Urbana has this self-image of it being a very liberal open-minded community, but the reality is that it's a fairly hard-hearted community when it comes to dealing with issues of poverty and inequality," Kilgore said.
Felty is confident Champaign can lead other counties in preventing implicit bias within the criminal justice system if the law enforcement system follows the recommendations. She said as times goes on, people become more receptive to new ideas and policing practices. To Felty, society is maturing.
"My goal is that we mature as a community as part of the world that is maturing too," Felty said. "The human race, I think, is maturing."

Soiree Pleated Shirtdress
Choose a Way to Rent
|True to Size
I loved this dress and got 6 comments at work! Perfect for work. I also think it would be cute with a jean jacket. The dress was unfortunately missing the belt, so I used my own. Since the pattern is so busy I think the matching belt would be best. Lastly, I normally wear an 8 but ordered a 10 to be safe. Next time I'll go with the 8.
This has a lovely fabric and pattern but it is absolutely enormous--at least two sizes too big and rather shapeless.
Loved the print and fit. Can dress up or down with heels or cowboy boots. Loved the silk shirt dress & details. #daydress
Amazing dress. I didn't notice the belt in the shipment so I wore it without the belt. I wish I had it! Nonetheless, it was great. And 100% silk!
Great dress to style up for work. Easy to layer and add jewelry. Dress ran big but still worked so opted for different belt instead of belt that was included. The dress is VERY thin material but great for fall or office temperatures. Super comfy and great outfit for work that doesn't feel constrictive. Immediately had a coworker say "you look like fall" Overall win!
I loved the material and the print. Would suggest sizing down. I should have gone with a smaller size. I'm between a 2 and 4 and went with the 4. It was cute with boots for work. Would rent again.
Very cute, was supposed to wear it for a meet & greet but the event was cancelled and it got too cold to wear it.
Tory is all about the '70s lately and I'm here for it. The dress is a gorgeous silk and the colors are vivid oranges, ambers, and blues. The length was great for the office.
I'm usually between a 6 and an 8, and I'm regretting not getting the 6. My dress didn't come with the pictured belt, but it was still cute and comfortable.
Cute dress, came with the belt so don't forget to check the bag for it! Very lightweight so probably best for Spring or Fall. I wore it for an audition in the winter and paired with tights and boots.
Loved the print and the length is work appropriate. However, it does run a bit big. I should've passed on the 10 and gotten an 8 or possibly even a 6.
Comes with a belt to cinch in the waist. Love the pattern and the fit. Clings a bit in the winter time, so use anti static guard and you will be fine.
I wore this to work and received so many compliments. It was very flattering and a perfect piece for fall with riding boots.
amazing for work. soft and comfortable
Runs big. Comfortable and an appropriate length for work.
The dress is adorable, but my shipment didn't include the belt shown in the picture and the dress is a little shapeless without it. Also it was insanely static-y, which is tough for non-summer wear. I love the pattern and the length. Might have worn if the belt had been included.
Buttons down easily which makes it great for nursing. Beautiful pattern and loose fit flatters my postpartum body. I will rent again!
I wear an 8/10 and ordered the 10 (because it was available). It was too big to wear so I sent it back and will wait for the 8 to be available.
It is a nice color and very comfortable
Loose and yet still tailored, due to the stitched down pleats front and back. I wear this without the belt. The fabric is yummy and the design is striking. I'd love to own this one! Tory dresses are the best!
This dress is even better in person. I rented this dress to spice up my work wardrobe. It was great choice. The dress is cut in a square shape, which isn't all that flattering. Until you put on the belt. The skirt has pleats sewn into it. So once the belt is tied the skirts pleats create the perfect A-line. Just adorable. The picture doesn't do the dress justice.
I probably could have sized down to a 4 but the 6 was fine since I had the tie waist to cinch everything in. I opted to wear it alone to let the print really shine - it's a good one! It's definitely more of a fall weight but I wore this on a mild winter day & was comfortable. It is very staticky so have your scotch guard handy!
elegant and comfy
Got so many compliments on this when I wore it to work. Don't forget to attach the belt!
I wore this dress for a whole entire work day, to dinner, then on a plane. It was comfortable and flattering in every situation!
Rented for my trip to India, loved the pattern and the dress was light and comfortable
The dress would have been really cute if it had been two sizes smaller.
Fits great, Awesome material. True to size I love the colors and seams. Fell perfectly right above my knees Would totally rent again.
don't size up - runs large.
Cute but definitely ran big. Also I felt it was a little long. Just didn't hit where I would want it to. I did receive compliments though and love the print!
Cute dress, but the 10 was too big. I had to send it back
Loved it! I received many compliments and will rent again.
I wore this to work and received quite a few compliments. Fit just right and was perfect for work. Color and pattern was fun!
Beautiful fabric and great colors! Fit true to size.
Runs very large. Sleeves too long for my petite frame. Had to wear belt to account for boxiness.
Runs very large and is not cute.
It is a tad big and long on a 5' 2" person but the dreamiest fabric ever.
I wore this a couple times before sending back. Silky material with long sleeves makes perfect year round outfit. I got many compliments
much roomier in the hips than i expected so it was comfortable to wear all day

Frequent EPT qualifier Jan Combes makes friends around the world
I met Jan Combes, or "jamjars69" as she's known online, for the first time in 2010 at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) in the Bahamas, where she was friendly and outgoing but a dangerous force at the table. That dangerous side showed itself again the next year when she won the 2011 PokerStars Women Live event in London against a field of 52. She has played seven other women's events including Monte Carlo, Madrid, Barcelona, and the PCA and London events twice. Jan finished fourth in Monte Carlo and qualified for all of them but one by playing the online satellites on PokerStars.
Jan shared some anecdotes about her experiences in the following interview.
PokerStars Women (PSW): Jan, can you give us a few details about how it felt to realize you had won the London event in 2011?
Jan Combes: I was so tired; it didn't really hit me until the next day. The tournament took 15 hours with a five-hour final table. I went out with my son the next day to celebrate, but it didn't hit me until I read articles about me. And even then, I didn't realize how many top lady pros I had beaten to become the winner. It was only after Monte Carlo, where I came in fourth, that I realized it wasn't a fluke and I could actually play a good game.
PSW: Did you buy anything special with your winnings?
Jan: I put money aside to go toward an extension to my house, which is due to be built soon.
PSW: How long have you been playing poker, and how did you get started in the game?
Jan: I've been playing now for about four years and was taught by my son, Charlie, who is a professional player. I really enjoy the game, and it is far more exciting than sitting and watching TV.
PSW: What is the event you would most like to play again?
Jan: I hope to play the PCA, as it is so nice to go to beautiful Atlantis in the Bahamas with sun, sand, and sea during the day and poker in the evening. I take extra days there and combine it with a holiday. It's so nice to be in the good weather when it's so cold in England. The poker room is huge, and there are always games to play and something to do. The lazy river, I have found, is not lazy at all and is great fun! Loads of pools and water rides, a huge casino, and wonderful underwater aquatic displays all over Atlantis with the biggest fish I've ever seen. I hope to qualify again for this January!
PSW: What advice would you give to women who are thinking of playing a PokerStars Women Live event for the first time?
Jan: For those who are worried about trying to enter a ladies tournament, don't be. Give it a try, and you may be surprised at how well you can play. Plus, the more ladies who qualify for the tournaments, the bigger the pot is for all the winners.
Ladies tournaments are great fun and a chance to meet all the people you've played with online. I've gained some very good friends from these events and we all keep in touch and meet up at events when we can. PokerStars looks after you very well with super hotels and fantastic parties. Be careful of too many Bahama Mamas, though, if you plan to play the next day. They are lethal!
PSW: What's your next goal in poker, Jan?
Jan: Of course I would like to win another ladies tournament, and I would also like to play more mixed tournaments with larger entries and bigger pots. I've gotten to the final table twice at the PCA but not at the Main Event. One day, I will . . . but as I'm not a spring chicken anymore, it will have to be sooner than later!
I just wish there were more tournaments that I could qualify for. Traveling the world, playing poker, and meeting friends of all ages and nationalities--I couldn't have done that without qualifying.
With satellites running now for the PCA in January, this is a great time to jump in there and be ready for the poker festival that combines top pros, top prizes, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. For more details about the upcoming PokerStars Women Live event at the PCA, see this page of our website.
And see these posts for more about Jan's win in London and last year's PCA event.

Okay, I have another Spotify playlist for y'all this week. I know that this is when I would usually share a podcast episode, but I posted them back to back the last two weeks. Plus, this is the playlist you NEED in your life, especially during Black History Month.
If you don't know who Tracee Ellis Ross is, you're missing out. She's a great actress, comedian and one of Diana Ross' daughters. She's currently starring on 'Black-ish' as (Rain)Bow Johnson, the matriarch of the family and opposite of the hilarious Anthony Anderson. She was also on 'Girlfriends' for years! Tracee modeled for a bit, and grew up around music so when I saw her Instagram post a few days ago when she was talking about the playlist she curated for Apple Music and checked out what all made the cut I knew I had to replicate it on Spotify! Thank goodness all of the songs were available on both platforms!
This playlist is for the young and old, with tracks from Beyoncé, Childish Gambino, Stevie Wonder, Rihanna, Diana Ross, Bill Withers, Wale and even more! It's full of Black excellence and the perfect soundtrack for the month. Mellow and up-tempo tracks to get you moving, there's truly something on here for everyone! Take a listen below and let me know your favorite tracks!
