The President of the Arabic Debate ClubPosted by Unknown at 5:41 PM
It started last week. Tuesday. Just returned back to my dorm from my last class for the day. As i was dropping my bag on the ground, my phone rang. Anonymous caller whose number begins with 06. That's the Negeri Sembilan area telephone code. I've received calls like this before. They're from the IIUM office people. Maybe they want to inform me some problems with my admission here, matric no, pin no, etc.
The green button i pressed, and I was right, it was from the IIUM office people, the Leadership and Training Department (LTD) to be exact. They want to inform me that i have to attend a meeting tonight above "Restoran Kam Loi". It was because i registered myself to join the Arabic Debate club the week before. They were recruiting members so i told myself, "why not?" I think that it would be a fun and new experience for me. I also haven't enrolled in any clubs or societies yet.
So that night, I went to the meeting room above Kam Loi. There were not many people there at that time. I was feeling a bit awkward because I realized that i was the only guy there who was interested to join the Arabic debate. Others were either interested to join English or Malay debates (Yes i just realized too that it wasn't just an Arabic debate meeting). Many people keep coming in and i was praying that at least one of those guys are joining Arabic debate. Then, when the room has quite a few people in it, a fine middle-aged guy started talking in front and explaining to us what's the purpose of this meeting. He is the deputy dean of the Student Activities Department (STAD) by the way.
He said that they actually wanted to re-establish the CFS Nilai Debate Clubs because many of the previous debaters were Law students. FYI, starting this year all students who are doing Law program has been moved to the CFS PJ campus. So the purpose of this meeting is to elect the new presidents of the Debate Clubs.
The election begins with the Malay Debate. Three nominees were nominated. All of the nominees have to talk a bit about themselves before they stand behind the whiteboard so that they can't see who is voting. Short to say, Mustaqim, the person who sat beside me and who also happens to be my dorm neighbour, won the election and hence became the president of the Malay Debate Club. Then its the English Debate. Ata, (yes that's his name) the person that sat beside Mustaqim won the election. Both of them also happened to be roommates. Then it was the Arabic Debate's turn.
Mustaqim nominated me to be the president -.- I was like whatever. Its ok. No one is gonna vote for a nobody like me anyway. And then it was quiet. Everyone was looking from left to right to see if there are any other guys there who are into Arabic. There wasn't. I was the only male there who were into Arabic. I started panicking. Then because of this circumstance the deputy dean open the nomination to sisters. Two sisters were nominated. Then i have to talk a bit about myself. I was afraid if i should talk in which language. Then i decided to just talk in arabic.
I told them what's my name, where i'm from, what's my previous school and which program i'm taking. All of them are staring at me. Maybe they never thought a guy like me could speak arabic? Maybe they didn't understand a thing i just said? Then the two sisters also started talking about themselves in arabic. Then i went behind the whiteboard and the two sisters left the room.
I was seriously panicking. President? Arabic? Debate Club? I started asking myself what does this all mean? What does a president of a club do? I have never been nominated to be in such a high position of a club in my life before. And my arabic isn't that great. I'm level 1 for God's Sake. And Debate? I only participated in an arabic debate once in my life. I don't think that experience is enough for me to become a president of the club. My feeling got worse when a guy, who i can see by the side of the whiteboard, was showing two thumbs up to me -.-
Then they called me back in. I was told by the the deputy dean that i have become the president of the Arabic Debate club. Hearing those words is like.. a lightning has strucked right beside my ear. The whole world is coming to an end. I want to jump off the window. This is all just a big misunderstanding. I knew it. Of course all the people there would vote for a guy to be the president. And for SOME REASON I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M THE ONLY GUY THERE!? Where are the other people from program BAR (Bachelor in Arabic) or IRK (Islamic Revealed Knowledge)?? I just feel that i'm really not the guy to be a president of something. I don't really expose myself to all this. I just wanna be a member, not a leader.
After hearing that, I smiled to all the people there and said "Shukran!". They have no idea how i was feeling inside. They thought i was cool with it. Because my outer expression is always cool...
After all the election of presidents has ended, the guy asked us to split and sit in our own debate clubs. So there i was sitting in a circle with 9 sisters...
(To be continued.... Heheh.. This post is too long already)

Access to direct health care services is necessary, but not enough when it comes to improving our health. This concept is at the heart of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Commission to Build a Healthier America, and the evidence is clear: where we live, work, worship, learn, and play has a huge influence on how healthy we are and can be.
Just prior to National Public Health Week – April 7-13, RWJF and the University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institute released their 2014 County Health Rankings. I encourage you to take a look and see where your county ranks, and see what some of the factors are that are either helping or creating barriers for people in our communities to improving their health.
To improve public health, we have to examine the intersection of many systems and sectors within our communities to see how those systems can support better health. Housing, transportation, access to healthy food, economic and community development, education, land use, and, of course, health care are just a few of the systems that make up our communities' health infrastructure. Trying to improve, align and connect these systems is what MeHAF's new Healthy Community grant program is all about. The systems have developed separately over a long period of time, so the process of examining and aligning them to support communities' efforts to nurture healthy people and healthy places will also take much effort and time.
In November, MeHAF announced awards to twenty Healthy Community grantees. At the center of their work in this first pre-planning year is community and resident engagement that will lead to the identification of a health issue that is important to each community. This means listening especially carefully to the populations that are most marginalized and carry a greater burden of disease. And what better way is there to improve a system than by listening directly to the intended beneficiaries in order to better understand what their challenges are and what would serve them best.
Social change work has historically focused on serving people equally, and not necessarily equitably. Healthy Community grantees are being encouraged to think about equity first. At a recent gathering in Maine I heard the perfect example of the difference between equality and equity when looking at our health-supporting systems. The speaker said that our current systems are focused on making sure that everyone has a pair of shoes, whether or not the shoes fit correctly. The Healthy Community program encourages a different approach. Grantees will identify and engage all members of their communities, including those with big, wide, or tiny 'feet,' to make sure that the 'shoes' we fashion and deliver fit correctly.
So Happy National Public Health Week to all of us! We look forward to working with the twenty Healthy Community grantees and our partners and grantees in our other initiatives to improve the health of everyone in Maine and the communities where we live.
Thank you for contacting us!
Our group will review and follow up within 72 hours.
Thanks for your interest!

"Mom! Can I have that?!" I lifted my head from the pillow, bleary-eyed, to see what my daughter was yelling about on TV.
"Sure, Liz," I mumbled, too tired to argue. I fell back into a light, early-morning doze until I was awakened by the next earsplitting scream.
"Moooooom!" Jenny's early morning voice was extra shrill as she competed with the din of the television set. "Can I have THAT?"
"Sure, Jen," I said, now awake. I stumbled to the bathroom and wondered what I just told the girls they could have. Gotta do something about the "wants," I thought to myself. So I hit the books and did some research.
Kids love stuff. Scratch that, people love stuff. But our common sense and our wallets tell us that we can't allow our kids to have everything they want — otherwise they'll end up spoiled, and we'll end up broke. But is it wise to tell them they can't reach their goals or achieve their dreams? Experts disagree, but here's my opinion: Tell your kids they can have whatever they want — but make them work for it.
Say "yes." When kids ask for something, say "yes" within reason. You don't want them to feel that there is a glass ceiling or they are innately not good enough for something. Some argue that kids need to learn how to be OK with disappointment, but in my opinion, there is no reason to induce disappointment — they'll get enough of that in life.
Say "no." Say "no" if something your kids want is dangerous or, in your judgment, not good for them. Some argue that parents should not impose their own judgment on their kids. One colleague in my Ph.D. program allowed her 6-year-old to watch R-rated movies as long as she forewarned him of the effects that swearing could have on his social life. I couldn't disagree more. Kids are going to learn values from somewhere, and if it's not from us, it will probably be from the media.
Make sure there are strings attached. Say "yes" whenever possible, but make your kids work for what they want. I believe in freebies to a point, but let's face it — our society doesn't need any more materialistic hedonists running around shouting "mine!" If kids really want something, they should work for it or wait for a special occasion.
"Can I have that?" used to be my girls' most often-used phrase in front of the TV. Now, it's "Can I have that for my birthday?" I'm OK with that. While experts disagree on the appropriate way to manage materialistic impulses of our children, I believe that saying "yes" with caveats is a strategy that works.

MOSCOW (Agencies) - Russia will launch its first Muslim television channel in April, offering "spiritual and moral education," a spokeswoman for the Council of Muftis of Russia said on Tuesday. The channel, currently being tested, will "have a civilising aim and will contribute first of all to spiritual and moral education," said a spokeswoman for the council of Islamic leaders, Gulnur Gaziyeva. The council, which represents Islam at an official level in Russia, is hiring presenters and deciding on content for the channel, some of which will be secular, Gaziyeva said. The channel will be largely financed by private sponsors, Gaziyeva said, without specifying whether it will be available on free-to-view television, According to the last published census results, Russia in 2002 had around 14.5 million Muslim residents, then making up 10 percent of the population, but mainstream television barely targets this audience. In a token gesture, the state Rossiya channel airs a 10-minute weekly show called "Muslims." Financed by the Russian government, it focuses on apolitical discussions of Muslim traditions and culture. Russia already has several Russian Orthodox channels, including Spas, or Saved, which was created in 2005 to "reinforce spiritual values" and broadcasts via satellite to Russia and former Soviet countries, according to its website. President Dmitry Medvedev last week at a meeting with Russian Orthodox leaders stressed the need for dialogue between faiths to prevent the growth of nationalism and inter-ethnic conflicts.

Michigan investment company hacked; $495K stolen/
"Previously, it was typical for company employees to communicate by email and to make transfers of funds — even overseas," Troy Police Sgt. Meghan Lehman said. "But in this case, someone hacked the account of the sender requesting the funds. And then was days later before anyone questioned the transaction and learned they had been hacked."
Calls to the company were not returned Tuesday.
Lehman said the company has since reported the theft to its insurer and has changed internal policies, including doing business by email.
She said it is something authorities try to impress on residents faced with making decisions regarding much smaller amounts of funds.
"We warn residents all the time not to trust emails from strangers asking for any sums of money," Lehman said. "Here, it was believed to be a trusted email from a trusted source.
"Considering the size of the transaction, a phone call might have been in order to verify the request. I would advised anyone, even if they believe they know the sender, to check by phone before ever making a financial transaction." MORE

Nick Gibbs carves bespoke replicas of famous and favourite golf holes. Hand-made from English hardwoods and dyed veneers, Fairway Originals are designed to be made as the top of a chest or box or on a decorative plinth, with an engraved plaque.
A life-long woodworker, Nick has been designing and carving the unique pieces for 15 years, as gifts and trophies, or to celebrate a hole-in-one, handsome victory or a notable event.
"Golfers love them as a memory of their favourite hole or course, a regular round, or a moment they never want to forget," says Nick Gibbs. "A flag can be positioned at the appropriate point, and minuscule balls added to show successful shots. Some people ask for the tiny white balls to mark their rivals' mistakes, in the rough, in a bunker or even in the water."
Some of the world's most famous holes have been recreated as bespoke commissions, including of course the Road Hole at St Andrews, the Postage Stamp at Troon, and Augusta's 12th, the Golden Bell.
Recently Nick was asked to produce the leaving present for the Royal & Ancient's Chief Executive, Peter Dawson, recreating the shared greens of the 11th and 7th holes. The piece had a drawer, tray and secret compartment.
"Obviously our carvings make excellent corporate gifts," continues Nick, "and trophies or tributes for clubs."
The works of art are made in Cirencester, at the heart of the Cotswolds, and measure from 8-15in (20 – 38mm) long, depending on the length of the hole. Much of the timber used is from local woodlands, and in many cases from trees felled close to Nick's workshop. Many incorporate English oak, and boxwood for the bunkers and other species for the trees. They are carved to show slopes and swales, and even the stripes of mown grass.
Prices start at about £250, depending on the contours and features of the hole and the style of the design. Each one usually takes about four weeks to be made and delivered. To contact Nick Gibbs email@example.com.

John Nagle is the John N. Matthews professor of law at the University of Notre Dame, where he teaches and writes about climate change and other environmental issues. He is writing books on the role of humility in environmental law and on the scenic value of our national parks.
Climate will have such a profound effect on the earth that we will need to reconsider our relationship with the natural environment. That's why many environmental activists are now being drawn to an evolving philosophical stance on the topic, shifting away from an approach that is simply political, scientific or economic.
"There can be no ecology without an adequate anthropology," Pope Francis said in Laudato Si, the papal encyclical released last summer. Francis rejected both an anthropocentric view that accepts all human desires and a misanthropic view that wishes people would disappear. To find solutions for climate change and other environmental challenges, we need to focus on the morality of our actions, including questions of fairness and obligation.
[Other perspectives: America has been duped on climate change]
That understanding was on display during the debates at last month's climate change negotiations in Paris. After failing to come to an accord in previous meetings, diplomats succeeded in Paris because they crafted an agreement that allowed each nation to decide its own response to climate change rather than dictating a prescribed set of regulations.
But the ongoing efforts after the talks face a number of moral challenges, especially the effects of our actions on the poor. Nearly 80 percent of the people living in the world's least developed countries do not have access to electricity, yet energy production is the leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and other types of pollution. We have a moral obligation both to alleviate such energy poverty and to avoid harming people by our energy production.
Previous international agreements failed to address energy poverty in the least developed parts of the world. The Paris agreement acknowledges "the need to promote universal access to sustainable energy in developing countries, in particular in Africa, through the enhanced deployment of renewable energy." Renewable energy holds much promise as its non-polluting sources displace reliance on fossil fuels, though even renewable energy presents harms of its own.
Although renewable energy is spreading, it is still difficult — and expensive — to rely on as the only source of energy for large areas. That is why international lending organizations still fund projects that burn coal or oil in the least developed parts of the world, where such fuels offer the only alternative to having no electricity at all. Much of the debate in the United States labels coal in particular as intrinsically immoral, but a better understanding of the environmental trade-offs associated with all means of energy production calls for a more nuanced appreciation of the competing values.
There is also a moral question of who is responsible for climate change. Francis, the first pope from the developing world, insists that the developed world is culpable not just for climate change, but also for a range of environmental ills suffered by developing nations. He described "a true 'ecological debt' " existing between the global north and the global south, one connected to the disproportionate use of natural resources by certain countries over long periods of time, as well as commercial imbalances that have environmental effects. In his encyclical, he states that the developed countries have a debt to pay. They should limit their energy consumption and help poorer countries support sustainable development.
In Paris, developing countries sought to include a requirement that developed countries accept legal responsibility to compensate the victims of climate change in the developing world, but the United States and other developed nations refused to agree. Instead, the Paris agreement explicitly states that it does not "provide a basis for any liability or compensation."
[Inaction on global warming is as reckless as drunken driving]
The culpability debate is complicated. It is questionable that 21st-century Americans should be held responsible for the actions of their ancestors, who had little reason to think that their activities were endangering future generations. And many of the actions that resulted in climate change today also spread economic, social and cultural benefits throughout the developing world.
Perhaps the better way to envision the problem is to focus on generosity, not blame. Culpability is typically determined by adjudication, and two decades of climate change litigation have failed to make much progress in identifying who is legally obligated to pay for the harm caused. Generosity, on the other hand, needs no court order.
The appeal to love our neighbors who suffer from environmental devastation is already animating the work of faith-based organizations around the world. Such moral claims may not appear in legal documents such as the Paris agreement, but they play an essential role in any understanding of how to respond to climate change where it is most needed.

Author(s): Priya Parmar
A New York Times Notable Book - An Entertainment Weekly "Must List" Pick - "Prepare to be dazzled."--Paula McLain - "Quite simply astonishing."--Sarah Blake
What if Virginia Woolf's sister had kept a diary? For fans of The Paris Wife and Loving Frank comes a spellbinding new story of the inseparable bond between Virginia and her sister, the gifted painter Vanessa Bell, and the real-life betrayal that threatened to destroy their family. Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "an uncanny success" and based on meticulous research, this stunning novel illuminates a little-known episode in the celebrated sisters' glittering bohemian youth among the legendary Bloomsbury Group.
London, 1905: The city is alight with change, and the Stephen siblings are at the forefront. Vanessa, Virginia, Thoby, and Adrian are leaving behind their childhood home and taking a house in the leafy heart of avant-garde Bloomsbury. There they bring together a glittering circle of bright, outrageous artistic friends who will grow into legend and come to be known as the Bloomsbury Group. And at the center of this charmed circle are the devoted, gifted sisters: Vanessa, the painter, and Virginia, the writer.
Each member of the group will go on to earn fame and success, but so far Vanessa Bell has never sold a painting. Virginia Woolf's book review has just been turned down by The Times. Lytton Strachey has not published anything. E. M. Forster has finished his first novel but does not like the title. Leonard Woolf is still a civil servant in Ceylon, and John Maynard Keynes is looking for a job. Together, this sparkling coterie of artists and intellectuals throw away convention and embrace the wild freedom of being young, single bohemians in London.
But the landscape shifts when Vanessa unexpectedly falls in love and her sister feels dangerously abandoned. Eerily possessive, charismatic, manipulative, and brilliant, Virginia has always lived in the shelter of Vanessa's constant attention and encouragement. Without it, she careens toward self-destruction and madness. As tragedy and betrayal threaten to destroy the family, Vanessa must decide if it is finally time to protect her own happiness above all else.
The work of exciting young newcomer Priya Parmar, Vanessa and Her Sister exquisitely captures the champagne-heady days of prewar London and the extraordinary lives of sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf.
Praise for Vanessa and Her Sister
"Fiction and history merge seamlessly in this dazzling novel."--Entertainment Weekly
"Being related to Virginia Woolf can't have been easy. In this delightful novel, Parmar re-imagines the brilliant, fragile writer and her turn-of-the-century bohemian friends, the famous Bloomsbury set. . . . You'll be spellbound."--People
"Rarely do you encounter a woman who commands as much admiration as does the painter Vanessa Bell in Priya Parmar's multilayered, subtly shaded novel. . . . She has caught the phantom."--The New York Times Book Review
" A] gossipy, entertaining historical novel . . . Parmar conjures a devastating fictional portrait."--USA Today
"Captivating . . . echoes of Austen's Sense and Sensibility emerge in Parmar's portrayal."--Newsday
"An elegant, entertaining novel that brings new life to the Bloomsbury Group's intrigues."--The Dallas Morning News
From the Hardcover edition.
'Radiantly original. Irrepressible, with charm and brio to spare. Prepare to be dazzled.' --Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
'Priya Parmar is a powerful new voice in historical fiction. This novel explores the anguished relationship between the Stephen sisters and provides a new view of the artistic, sensual Bloomsbury world, placing Vanessa Bell at the heart of the story.' --Philippa Gregory
'Parmar gives truth and definition to the character of a woman whose nature was as elusive as her influence was profound. She has caught the phantom.' --New York Times Book Review
'A richly compelling and extraordinarily sympathetic portrait ... Works astonishingly well, each voice is real and fully realised, but Vanessa's is resplendent ... A fresh perspective on a story that's already become legend.' --Independent
'A remarkable achievement ... She has had the blessing of Vanessa Bell's granddaughter and daughter-in-law, and her research has been meticulous. But it's the central portrait of Vanessa's emotional life and her journey to a more disillusioned, if pragmatic, self-knowledge, that makes this novel, with its familiar setting, so fresh and compelling.' --Observer
'Given the pages and pages that Bloomsbury Group members wrote about their lives and loves, it seems almost de trop to add to them, yet Parmar has done so skilfully.' --Sunday Times
'Her imagined "diaries" of Vanessa Bell, from 1905 to 1911, are a triumph from first to last. She gets the authorial voice spot-on and skewers Virginia Woolf, Vanessa's sister, in all her ridiculous hauteur.' --Mail on Sunday
'It's not often that you wish a book wouldn't end, but Priya Parmar's second novel about the relationship between the artist Vanessa Bell and her sister, Virginia Woolf, is so deliciously gossipy (while occasionally wonderfully prurient), and almost too beautifully written, to stop at 339 pages ... Parmar brings the players to life in a way that appeals to both the heart and the head.' --Independent on Sunday
'Immerse yourself in this joyously imagined novel ... Superbly controlled and structured, the novel contains a central irony: 'Vanessa' writes like an angel. Bravo.' --Daily Mail
'You don't need a deep knowledge of the Bloomsbury group to appreciate this novel but, if you're a hardcore Bloomsbury addict (like me), it's one of the essential reads of the year ... It's biography as fiction, imagined with almost supernatural brilliance. Bliss.' --The Times
'The Bloomsbury appeal continues ... Captivating from beginning to end.' --Vogue
'Vanessa and Her Sister is an account of my grandmother's early life, told with faith, elegance and an almost uncanny insight into the subject. But this is also an absorbing work of fiction - and Priya Parmar has made Vanessa's story her own.' --Virginia Nicholson, granddaughter of Vanessa Bell and author of Among the Bohemians
'A perfect balance of granite and rainbow.' --Frances Wilson, Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year 2015
'Anyone who finds Virginia Woolf's life story just as fascinating as her novels will relish Priya Parmar's Vanessa and Her Sister ... Beautifully and sympathetically done, without being sentimental' --Sunday Herald, Book of the Year 2015
Priya Parmar is the author of one previous novel, Exit the Actress. She lives in London and Hawaii. priyaparmar.com

Spring Break is this theoretical break that happens every spring. Unless you are in school, Spring Break is no longer real. So our Spring Vacation, that happened to fall during Spring Break, was out to a ranch in West Texas. The town is called Barkley, Texas. Never heard of? How about Camp Wood, TX... Uvalde, TX? It's a small deer lease/ranch town about 2 hours west of San Antonio. There were 16 of us total in this group of all ages. Figure 2 Ranch has been a family ranch to close friend's of ours. There is about 900 acres and it sits on the Neuces River (due to the drought, its a bit low).
On our way out of Uvalde, an hour or so from the Ranch, we stopped at the only Wal-Mart for 100's of miles I am sure. Once we got into Camp Wood, there was a Git-N-Go, a burger shack & deer feed. As a born and raised New Englander, Texas leaves me feeling really hot, humid & flat! Living in the Houston region below sea-level, the only elevation will be manmade overpasses.
So as soon as we got past Camp Wood, out of no where mountains pop up. They're no Grand Teton, nor are they the Appalachians, but they were magnificent. I was really excited to see any change of elevation. Then all of a sudden you see these random ranches popping up.
A few look small, lived in year-round, then there are others. There was this rather extensive ranch called Los Palmas. I wish I had taken a picture of it. It had large white cement walls, with broken glass on the top. My assumption, since we were only an hour or so from the Mexican border, was it was some vacation home of Mexican royalty. I convinced myself it must be the Mexican version of Downton Abbey.
The next ranch we came upon, was my favorite. Exotic wild game! The first animals I saw were the giraffes! I pulled over and snapped pictures of someone's pet giraffe. Only in West Texas would I ever even see Giraffes not in the zoo.
The week was relaxing. I went for a run one morning and came upon a pack of wild hogs by the river. Needless to say, I turned around and my pace quickened. So many fun memories. My favorite was the fact I got to completely unplug. No phone, unless you go to one specific spot on the ranch, away from the house, almost up their mountain. The family and friends we spent the weekend with are amazing.
In conclusion, I would totally move out there and live my entire life there. I would just need them to improve the store situations, wifi accessibility, civilization errr.. ok, vacations at the ranch are best!

Arriva: RMT announce more strikes on the railways
Workers on Arriva Rail North are to stage a fresh 24-hour strike in a row about driver-only trains.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will walk out on Friday April 28 after talks failed to break the deadlocked dispute.
Its members at the three operators staged a 24-hour strike last Saturday, the day of the Grand National.
The union has taken 31 days of strike action against Southern in the past year, although fresh talks will be held later this month to try to break the deadlock.
WALK-OUT: RMT Union have announced a 24-hour strike on April 28 over driver-only trains
Safety issues... leave us with no option but this further day of strike action
Talks about staffing on new Merseyrail trains are also due to go ahead.
Strike action is part of a union campaign against new driver-controlled trains being introduced from 2020.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The public, who support RMT's campaign for a guarantee of a guard on their trains, will be appalled that Arriva Rail North have failed to offer any kind of progress whatsoever in the talks and have instead opted to try and bulldoze through their plans regardless.
"It is that flagrant disregard for the safety issues at the heart of the dispute which leaves us with no option but to put on this further day of strike action.
"RMT commends our Arriva Rail North members on their rock-solid display of strength, resolve and unity during the action so far in opposition to the introduction of driver-controlled operation and defence of the guards to guarantee a safer, securer and more accessible railway for all.
"The union continues to remain available for meaningful discussions with the company in order to seek a satisfactory resolution to the ongoing dispute."

Aftercoolers extend the lifespan of filters and refrigerated dryers
In case of a too high air temperature, the lifespan and efficiency of the filter and refrigerated dryer will decrease. The installation of an aftercooler in connection to the piston compressor can in this case help to lower the temperature of the compressed air, in order to ensure the right air temperature during the filtration and drying process.

This was prompted by a discussion that was locked from the start, and as such, if you were privy to it, please do not reveal the identities of the people involved in any way; it was locked for a reason and I have no intention of disrespecting the friendslock. I will screen any comments that refer specifically to any people or situations discussed or mentioned in that post. This post is not meant to shame or call out anyone who was involved; that was already accomplished in that post and later in private.
And if you're gossiping about this, I hope all your hair falls out, you bastard.
Dear fellow queers,
If you knee-jerk at a straight person for saying something faily, you are hurting your cause by being angry (because gay rights are only important if all gay people are willing to be reasonable and calm). Also, you are a bully because you hurt someone's feelings when you pointed out their fail. It doesn't matter that you simply said "this was an offensive thing to say". It really hurts to be told you said an offensive thing, you know! In fact it's too much to bear -- so much so that any venom the straight person spews at you if you dare not agree with this is entirely on your conscience, not theirs: you have made them very upset and you deserve every. single. cruel word.
If you knee-jerk in your own safe space to vent so you can approach (another) straight person calmly (because despite your rage/pain/anger, you believe it's worthwhile to talk to them and you don't wish to be angry when you do) you are being a two-faced lying liar. Because you see, straight people are entitled to know all your feelings at all times, and if you do not tell them directly everything that's on your mind about what they said, then when they find out about your terrible betrayal of using your (public or private) safe space to vent, they might actually be hurt too badly to remember that they're the ones who said something to cause you pain in the first place, intentionally or not.
Trying to explain any of this to straight people will almost never work, because you see, people should treat each other equally. It should not matter what the world is like as long as the straight person you're with considers you their equal. Therefore you should be held to the same standard of behaviour at all times, and your actual queerness should not -really- matter when the two of you are talking about your queerness. After all, they have queer friends, so they know all about being queer. Plus, these straight people are the real injured parties here -- you've either hurt their feelings by being insensitive and telling them they've failed or you've hurt their feelings by venting your anger at what they said where they weren't immediately aware of it. You are the problem. They were just trying to be good allies; they were just trying to help you, and you've repaid their laudable efforts with complete ingratitude. It's really hard being an ally, you know.
Remember, kids: it's really best to shut up when straight people are talking about how best to help you fight for your rights.
Don't call them out on their language, because you'll inevitably just be taking what they said out of context. They don't mean to hurt you, so your pain should just disappear when they tell you that. Pain is not real unless it was inflicted deliberately and with malice. Don't call them out on casually homophobic remarks, because you shouldn't expect them to know anything about how hate speech works and how things that seem innocent to them can affect you.
Straight allies are here to support you emotionally, to cry over how terrible the bullying, prejudice, and discrimination you endure is, to wear purple for you. With how busy they are doing all these things, naturally it's completely unreasonable to expect them to try their best not to offend you, or, Kinney forbid, to actually understand you.
(almost) all sarcasm aside, here's PSA.
Dear straight allies:
You are not entitled to be considered safe by the queers around you, not even if you're best friends, not even if you're a vocal gay rights proponent, not even if you donate real cash money to pro-gay-rights causes or communities, and, shockingly, not even if you wore purple this Wednesday.
If a queer person you're talking to snaps at you because you've said something faily, don't tell them what you said wasn't faily, even if you honestly don't think it was. You do not get to tell queer people how to feel regarding things that you -- a member of a majority group with a long cultural history of abusing and mistreating queer people -- say about queers. Just apologise for hurting them. And I mean actually apologise, not "I'm sorry you're offended" or "I'm sorry if I've offended you" or "I'm sorry you took it the wrong way and got hurt." An apology basically reads "I am sorry for having done something that hurt you." You don't have to prostrate yourself or go into a deep analysis of how you have failed or anything like that; if your apology is genuine, a lot of us will just forgive you (if it's not genuine, I personally will just decide to dismiss you forever as an ignorant asshat, but your mileage will vary). If you can't or don't want to apologise, just be silent. If you do anything else, chances are you won't be doing all that much better than the bullies and homophobes you claim to abhor so much, in terms of making the queer person feel shitty.
If a queer person vents -- in her or his safe space -- about something you said and characterises it as faily, you are not entitled to an explanation why they didn't feel like saying it to you directly, not even if they do end up talking to you about what you said elsewhere. You do not get to be offended that they omgz ~talked about you behind your back~. Because if a queer person is upset or angered by something you said about queers, it's not about you. They are not talking about you, your character, your virtue, or your dog Bessie. They are talking about what you said and how it made them feel when they heard/read it. These feelings are not yours to criticise and dissect; they are theirs to process and come to terms with. They may even say really mean things like "I can't believe that homophobic asshat! >:(" but you are not allowed to expect them to be rational and reasonable when they're angry.
And because it is not about you, if you see a queer person venting about you somewhere you weren't invited and you decide to apologise for saying the thing that set them off, don't be too quick to do that. They might be venting away from you because they do not want to engage with you, so ask first if they're willing to talk to you. And for the love of puppies, don't get offended if they don't want to talk to you -- or if they don't accept your apology. To them, it's entirely Not. About. You. I promise you that queer people who get mad at you do not have a personal grudge against you, the person; they're pissed because they feel you have treated them as less than a person. Not a fun feeling!
Support the community. Educate before we need to. Try not to fuck up. If you fuck up, for whatever reason, apologise sincerely and keep it in mind for the future.
If these suggestions are deal-breaking for you, I personally would urge you to kindly consider finding a different pet cause, because I don't think allies like you are in any way necessary.
somewhat ambivalently (at the moment) yours,
And FTR if you are seriously having that much trouble reconciling what you have read in this post with my (continuing) "fan works posted in public are fair game for criticism, regardless of the author's feelings" stance: fan works are not ~serious business~. Queer identity and gay rights are serious business in the completely non-ironic sense of the phrase.
(Uh, happy spirit week? -_-)

[This is a review of Justified season 6, episode 7. There will be SPOILERS.]
Relationships aren't an easy thing on Justified. After all, the series began with Ava ending her marriage to Bowman in a manner by which certain types are stereotypically hitched: with a shotgun, of course. That is to say, the series has had, from the get-go, a somewhat tenuous affiliation with the notion of relationships, and how they can come to be an asset and a detriment to the characters in question.
This being the final season, it stands to reason that there would need to be an episode dedicated to answering the question of just what Raylan Givens plans to do once his job in Harlan has ended, and he can fulfill the promise he made to his ex-wife Winona (Natalie Zea) and their infant daughter. And while Raylan excusing himself from the manhunt for the injured Ty Walker, on the grounds that he needs to take advantage of the 24-hour "cooling off" period, is strangely convenient, 'The Hunt' does offer the season a chance to do the same, after last week's intense firefight that ultimately cost Choo-Choo his life.
But cooling off doesn't necessarily mean slowing things down, especially after the bombshell Limehouse dropped on Boyd last week results in he and Ava taking an impromptu hunting trip to a cabin in the ominously named Bulletsville – which is yet another throwback to the first season, by evoking both the title of its finale 'Bulletville' and the violence that erupted therein.
All season long, Justified has wrung great tension from Ava and Boyd's relationship. This was made possible by Ava's current position as Raylan's criminal informant, and Boyd's execution of Dewey Crowe, on account that he could no longer be trusted. It has been a precarious situation that was recently made worse by Ava putting the moves on Raylan the day she tried to run. And although there's been no mention of exactly what the two got up to between the time Raylan figured he'd stick around and Boyd chastised Ava for not extending some Southern hospitality to their otherwise unwanted guest, the fact that Boyd seems more perturbed by the possibility that his fiancée slept with his mortal enemy than by her admission of being a rat is troubling, to say the least.
Now that's not to say Ava's in the clear, after she came clean about working with the deputy marshal. Boyd's first act was to test her with an unloaded weapon, and even though she passed (or was simply calling his bluff), the familiar seeds of distrust have once again been sown. But as big of a question as what will become of Ava and Boyd is, perhaps the larger issue has become the question of what Boyd plans to do with Raylan's investigation, and whether or not Ava will let the deputy in on this recent, noteworthy development.
These potential difficulties help make episodes like 'The Hunt' worthwhile beyond things like the layered performances by Joelle Carter and Walton Goggins. Even though it seems like the show is diverting attention from the matter at hand by placing characters in new, complicated situations before the old ones have been resolved, the questions that arise as a result of those sitauations actually serve the larger narrative by deepening the potential for tragedy. And if the constant reminder that Raylan is a father and that he has a future with Winona (if he wants it) isn't enough of an omen to sprinkle portent on this final storyline, then nothing is.
When it comes right down to it, relationships are really at the heart of the most prominent threads this season. As complicated as Raylan and Winona's relationship is, and as unpredictable as Ava and Boyd's has become, none is thornier, nor carries more history, than that of Avery's on again, off again relationship with Katherine Hale. But the veil of suspicion that hangs over their otherwise fruitful affiliation takes what would be a rote romance between baddies and transforms it into an unlikely game of cat and mouse. After Avery's two-question proposal last week, however, it's not quite clear who is playing the role of cat and who will be the mouse in this particular situation.
The same can be said for Ty Walker and any of his former associates who left him high and dry with a bullet lodged in his left shoulder. It's pretty much a given that ol' Ty is going through some complicated feelings about Avery and Seabass right about now. And if Ty could put eyes on the stack of cash the latter took to betray the man he served in the military with, well, then, he might at least understand. As it stands now, it seems like a good bet that Ty isn't going to take this dissolution of his relationships lying down.
It's a tough time for the denizens of Harlan to be thinking of the other people in their lives, but it's also making it a great time to be watching Justified. It is particularly impressive that the series can take what it essentially a table-setting episode and have it carry the potential to change the season's dynamic greatly, while also establishing a whole new set of stakes for Raylan, as Ava's situation continues to deteriorate. The series feels like it's gearing up to make the final episodes go south for more than one major character, but the season has been so entertaining to this point, all anyone can say is, "Bring it on."
Justified continues next Tuesday with 'Dark As a Dungeon' @10pm on FX.

My kind, thoughtful husband told our friends recently that he was worried about me because I hadn't even put up our Christmas tree this year.
The tree has been lit for two weeks.
In fairness, here are some things to consider:
1. He doesn't care a great deal about decorating, but he cares a bunch about me, and he knows how I love the sparkle.
2. Our life is in a major transition, and small details like Christmas are actually in danger of being ignored. Overshadowed by where we shall live and work in our next season.
3. Days are a bit draining as we prepare to close the clinic we've loved for sixteen years. We are both tired and distracted when we get home at night.
All that considered, here is the funniest part: I plopped down on my favorite side of the sofa the next night and pointed at the little tree glowing from a corner of the dining room. "How could you miss that pretty sight?" I asked.
My patient husband raised an eyebrow, looked toward the dining room from his vantage point and said, "I can't see a thing."
Sure enough. The tree is completely blocked from his line of sight. I felt like a jerk for making fun of him. And, a few mornings later, I added lights to a small tree in the living room right in front of his spot.
I tell you this story, Dear Reader, because I want you to remember what matters. Every year, when I put up even the tiniest tree with twinkling lights, I feel like I'm fighting back the darkness of life just a smidgen. I'm declaring to the world that the Light has come and that He is coming again. My faithful husband understands this. He was fighting for me.
So, light your tree. Hold onto Hope. Snuggle the ones you love. And spread the great news of Peace on earth, Goodwill to men. Hallelujah.

We've all heard of Tina Fey, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert, but have you ever heard of where they all got their start?
Some may recognize the name The Second City - the improvisational comedy company that began in Chicago in 1959 - but for those less familiar, The Second City is rooted in the style of improvisational games that looks at creating and performing comedy and theater in a unique style.
On Saturday Oct. 20, one of several Second City touring troupes will perform in Kuhl Gym to entertain students and their families during Geneseo's annual Parents Weekend. Limelight & Accents – a subcommittee of the Activities Commission – is presenting the show, which runs from 8 to 9:30 p.m.
When The Second City originally opened, its experimental and original style appealed to a young audience impressed by its new and fresh approach to comedy.
By the time the company began attracting more attention and branching out beyond Chicago, The Second City had already placed former members on Broadway and had populated the set of "Saturday Night Live" with alumni John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.
With the opening of its sister theater in Toronto in 1973 and the introduction of its own sketch comedy series SCTV featuring Martin Short, John Candy and Eugene Levy, The Second City developed beyond a small sketch theater on Chicago's north side.
It is now a dominant improvisational group celebrating over 50 years of performance with a growing number of famous graduating members.
Tickets for the Oct. 20 show are available online or at the Student Association Ticket Office. Prices are $17 for Geneseo students, $19 for children under 12, $23 for faculty and $25 for the general public.
The Second City touring ensembles entertain thousands of people a year, and Geneseo students have an opportunity to join that crowd. With guaranteed laughter, it's a performance you shouldn't miss.

Ever since there have been books, there's been a need for something to hold them – whether upright, or stacked on a shelf, or even a jar which has been found to contain parchment scrolls. Back in the day when we were in college, a rock or an old coffee pot may have served the purpose well enough, but as we get older and are able to add to our book collections, and perhaps even have a library of our own, looking after and storing our precious reading material has become more important than ever.
There are so many types of books and their bookends (some matching and some entirely decorative or off in a genre of their own), that matching a beautiful photo book or first edition, or just a best selling thriller, with a lovely pair of bookend, is a unique idea for gifting to someone special. It will make any birthday or holiday or other special occasion even better, if someone can get a book and a coordinating pair of bookends as a present.
Animals are always popular for children or adults. Matching a book about elephants, for instance, with a pair of reclining, Indian elephants, done in metal with patina, and on top of a piece of burlwood, would make a perfect gift for someone who loves Asia and all of its flora and fauna. Another bronzed and stretching pair of cats done on a white marble base would go great with a book about Ancient Egypt. There are also many styles of bird bookends you can find and one depicting golden eagles would be wonderful for someone, along with a classic Audubon book.
Whether the person you are thinking about loves bears (what about Winnie The Pooh for children?), dogs (Old Yeller is a classic), or even frogs (any number of books about princesses and their frog princes, or a superb classic for children — The Wind in the Willows) would make a fantastic gift, along with the appropriate set of bookends done in resin, or wood, or bronze, or wood, or any number of materials. You can stack, after wrapping separately, the set of bookends on top of the book and then tie with a fancy ribbon. Now, that's a gift that anyone will remember for a very long time!

Krizz, a unit of Kanishk Gold Pvt. Ltd. has a hi-tech Jewellery Manufacturing Unit in Chennai and launched India's First organised B2B Jewellery Showroom for business in Delhi. Recently, Krizz opened their B2B Showrooms in Chennai and Ahmedabad.
Organized Showroom for Jewellers – Krizz B2B
Beating conventional trends of sales and for a direct contact with the customer (Jewellery Retailers), Krizz opens a world-class B2B Jewellery showroom where Jewellery Retailers can at their convenience, visit and check the Jewellery before placing the order.
Krizz is the First Jewellery Manufacturer in the organised sector with Flagship B2B Showrooms. Spread over 1200 sq.ft, the showroom is in #293, Katra Pyare Lal, Opp. Kucha Mahajani Chandni Chowk, Delhi – 110006. Delhi Showroom will house over 125 kgs worth of Jewellery to choose from, adding over 4000 New Designs every month
"Our vision is to bring about a paradigm shift in the way Jewellery is manufactured and B2B sales are done in India and globally. Especially in India, the objective is to make it an organised industry with technology and innovation like any other industry. Krizz B2B is the largest B2B showroom with the largest collection for jewellers where the designs are updated and uploaded, and retailers can view them online and place a direct order," said Mr. Bhupesh Jain, CMD, Krizz
The first ever Krizz B2B showroom was inaugurated in Chennai on 16th of April 2015 and ever since, the showroom has been catering to over 700 to 900 retailers every month. To quote Mr. Rajesh of Joyalukkas Jewellers, says "Krizz B2B showroom is an excellent concept for Jewellery Retailers. Finally we are able to see, touch and then buy Jewellery the way our customers do. Comfort, great customer service and a large collection of designs is what makes the Krizz B2B store a unique experience. I would definitely recommend all Jewellers to visit the Krizz B2B showroom and experience this first hand."
Business Plans
With an investment of 980 crores, the company plans to setup 53 B2B showrooms, 50 in India & one each in Dubai, Singapore & Malaysia in 2015-17. Last year, the company achieved a turnover of Rs 1700 crore. This year, they expect to grow to Rs. 3800 crore turnover and in 2016-17, Rs. 6000 crore.
Creating New Culture in Jewellery Industry
Krizz has created a niche in understanding and learning the Jewellery trends with a design team that specialises in Jewellery for North, South, East and West of India where the design team members visit various parts of the country to understand the culture, motifs, textiles, symbols, architecture etc of these markets and hence, designs that would suit each market is created. The market requirement is met with their huge collection and own design office that updates new designs according to the market trend.
Technology Automated Jewellery Manufacturing Facility
The Krizz manufacturing facility introduced a Casting unit; chain making unit specialising in light weight / hollow rope chains; tubing unit that creates over 180 varieties of tubes for chains, rings, necklaces and a stamping unit with imported machinery from Turkey.
Krizz has introduced high crafted technology casting with light weight Jewellery. With latest ultra modern technology and machinery imported from Italy, Turkey, USA, Germany and Japan, Krizz manufacturers the lightest Jewellery in the world, where a special alloy imported from Italy it helps convert the 24K Gold to 22K or 18K as required. A strength test is done to ensure ability to withstand regular usage inspite of being light weight. Having employed over 900 people at the manufacturing facility, they currently handle over Rs.3000 crores worth of Jewellery every year.
Last year (2014-15), the unit manufactured 30 kgs per day which is Jewellery worth over Rs.3000 crores. This year, 60% of total capacity will be utilised and in 2016-17, 80% of the total capacity will be utilised.
From Retail to Manufacturing
"Witnessing Jewellery being manufactured shocked me looking at the poor and unhygienic conditions at which they were made. It was contradictory to see an end product of such high value made at poor conditions and made me realise it would only be worse in India and hence worked towards implementing my vision," said Mr. Bhupesh Jain, CMD, Krizz
Observing the ever increasing demand for Gold, gaps and market behaviour in the Gold Jewellery segment over the years, Kanishk Gold diversified from Retail outlet and stepped into Jewellery manufacturing. Last year alone, the Indian consumer demand for Gold Jewellery and investment totalled 842.7 tonnes last year and India's Gold Jewellery demand rose 8% to an all-time high of 662 tonnes in 2014. With this growing demand, over the years, there has been an increased craving in the market for unique Jewellery designs and hence the thought of setting up a manufacturing facility to produce our own designs where maximum customer demand could be satisfied.
Jewellery manufacturing has been in the unorganised sector and even in other countries where facilities are better, the process of manufacturing Jewellery has been in unhygienic and poor working conditions. Keeping this in mind, Mr. Bhupesh Jain, CMD, Krizz visioned to bring Jewellery manufacturing into the organised sector, where the working conditions would be good, safe and at par with global standards in addition to maintaining consistency in quality of produced products.
With a team of about 25 people, a production facility was started with focus on R&D for creating the alloy, design, polishing etc and in 2010, Krizz began its first Jewellery manufacturing unit in a five acre land at Kanchipuram.

What are the Most Recommended Organic Face Scrubs?
Not all exfoliating ingredients are created equal. While skincare experts agree that exfoliating regularly is an important part of everyone's skincare and beauty routine, you can maximize the exfoliation process by choosing the right ingredients. We spoke with the skincare and beauty researchers at Callyssee Cosmetics about their recommended organic face scrubs.
So here are the 5 Most Recommended Organic Face Scrubs you should consider:
#1 Coffee.
Few skincare ingredients pack the exfoliating power, plenty antioxidants and high caffeine content of coffee. In Callyssee Cosmetic's Better Bean Clean Face Coffee Scrub, you'll find Coffea Arabica (Organic Green Coffee) Seed Extract, which has even more antioxidant power than green tea.
#2 Brown Sugar.
While white sugar makes a great body scrub, brown sugar is a better choice for your face. Its gentle texture is perfect for sensitive skin. Brown sugar is a key ingredient in Callyssee Cosmetic's Vanilla Bean Buffing Beans Coffee Scrub.
#3 Oats.
Oats are also an excellent choice for the sensitive areas of the body, such as the face. They have a nourishing effect as they scrub away dead skin cells and leave you feeling renewed and refreshed.
#4 Citrus.
Like coffee, citrus fruit have big-time antioxidant potential to lighten and brighten the skin, as well as address problem issues such as acne and other imperfections. This is the reason you'll find both citric acid and apricot seed powder as secondary ingredients in Callyssee Cosmetic's Better Bean Clean Face Coffee Scrub.
#5 Honey.
Honey acts as a soothing base or a great added ingredient for many face exfoliating products. Not only is it soothing and nourishing, but it has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties to purify the face as it exfoliates.
Callyssee is a freshly brewed line of skincare infused with organic green coffee, a potent ingredient that repairs, nourishes, and renews your skin.
