It's heartening that under Rahul Gandhi, the Congress is reclaiming the Gandhian belief that the security and wellbeing of minorities is essential to a healthy democracy
AIJAZ ZAKA SYED | Caravan Daily
RAHUL GANDHI, once derided as 'pappu' (simpleton or idiot!) by the mega propaganda machinery of the governing BJP, has not just come into his own as the leader of the Congress, one of the world's oldest and largest political parties, he has been growing from strength to strength.
Like his mother and unlike his more effervescent sister, the Gandhi scion is visibly shy by nature and not very comfortable under the scorching glare of media spotlight.
Having seen at a tender age his father and grandmother pay the ultimate price for their politics, he did not exactly look forward to the rough and tumble of volatile Indian politics, let alone seek the leadership mantle of the grand old party, synonymous with the nation's long quest for freedom.
Rahul's interaction with public, especially Indian diaspora, and his speeches during the recent visits to Germany and UK not only bear testament to his metamorphosis into a mature, responsible leader, they reveal him as someone who has developed a vision of his own and is acutely conscious of the grave threats facing the nation.
For someone seen as the ultimate reluctant politician, he has come a long way. Like the perpetually self-doubting protagonist of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Rahul has grappled with his own existential dilemmas, not to mention doubt and downright derision that he has had to face in politics, including within his own party.
It has been an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and finding his own distinct voice for the Congress chief in the cacophony of corrupt, cutthroat politics and obsequious, sniggering vultures of paid media in 'Modi-fied' times.
More important, Rahul has consciously positioned himself and the Congress as the advocates of religious tolerance, social justice and an inclusive democracy.
In doing so, he may be walking in the footsteps of his mother who pitched the United Progressive Alliance as a coalition of progressive and democratic forces that looks out for the vulnerable, dispossessed sections. She picked up Dr Manmohan Singh, the self-effacing architect of India's economic liberalisation and rise as the world's fastest growing economy, to lead the government for two terms.
Singh, born on the Pakistani side of Punjab, happens to be a Sikh, a religious minority that suffered appalling atrocities during the carnage that broke out in Delhi and elsewhere in the wake of Indira Gandhi's assassination on October 31, 1984, claiming more than 3,000 Sikh lives.
Many senior Congress leaders and later ministers under Rajiv Gandhi are said to have rallied the bloodthirsty mobs during the carnage. Just as senior BJP-RSS-VHP leaders and ministers in the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's cabinet rallied the gangs of killers in the 2002 pogrom targeting Muslims.
By picking up the soft spoken, Urdu-loving Sardar for the top job, Sonia sought to offer a healing touch to the alienated Sikh community.
However, by valiantly taking on the extremists who have virtually hijacked all democratic institutions and calling them out for their role in crimes against Indian democracy, including in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and the relentless hate campaign targeting minorities, not to mention the ongoing lynchings and terrorisation of Muslims, Dalits and tribals, Rahul has gone where no Congress leader, including his mother and grandmother, ever dared to.
"It's very dangerous in the 21st century to exclude people," he said in Hamburg, Germany pointing out how the BJP government has been systematically excluding minorities, Dalits and tribals from the development narrative. "If you do not give people a vision in the 21st century, somebody else will. And that's the real risk of excluding a large number of people from the development process."
He attributed the growing incidents of lynchings and mob attacks against Muslims and other vulnerable groups to the massive unemployment spawned by a disastrous demonetisation and a botched up GST (Goods and Services Tax). Which is a bit farfetched and factually incorrect as the hate attacks started right after Modi swept to power. His very ascent to power has been seen by the saffron faithful as the green signal to run amok. No wonder they have no fear in proudly boasting about their bloodcurdling antics on the national TV, especially when senior ministers are falling over themselves to honour them.
Another interesting takeaway from Rahul's Hamburg talk was his reference to the rise of ISIS, warning that if you deliberately exclude and isolate people, just as Iraq's Sunni minority had been after the 2003 US invasion, you risk creating a threat as serious as the black flags waving terror army.
The new Iraqi government anointed by the US brought in a law that excluded Sunni tribes from the political process and government jobs. "It seemed like a very innocuous decision at that time. But it resulted in a large number of people joining insurgency that fought the US and caused massive casualties," Rahul said calling for India to learn from the mistakes made elsewhere.
Predictably, the saffron spinmeisters and trolls jumped on the ISIS reference to skewer the Congress leader for "bringing bad name" to the country. Another comparison that of the RSS, the BJP's mother ship, with the Muslim Brotherhood has also not gone down well with the media.
Frankly, if anyone should be upset over Rahul's comments drawing parallels between the RSS and Islamists, it should be the latter. For unlike the RSS, they believe in parliamentary democracy and free and fair elections.
Again, unlike the RSS, they do not impart arms training or daily military training to millions of young and impressionable cadres, preparing them for the coming war on voiceless minorities. Also, they did not preside over organised religious riots and pogroms against minorities, as the Hindu Right has all these years.
That said, right now though it is not the future of the Middle East or the Congress president's understanding of the Islamic world that we need to worry about.
As Rahul and every other Indian concerned about the wellbeing of his/her country has been desperately warning, what is at stake is the very future of India. Even as the markets rise and rise on Modi's watch, the country has been in free fall in terms of peace, security and rule of law, a fact being increasingly reported and commented about in international media.
And it is heartening to note that unlike some in his party he does not subscribe to the idea that soft-pedalling Hindutva or a soft Hindutva is the way forward and the shortest route to return to power.
He does not shy away from confronting the forces that are bent on destroying everything painstakingly built over the past seven decades and speaking up for the persecuted minorities like Muslims who have been systematically vilified and victimised by the current order.
As Prof Apoorvanand argues invoking Gandhi in his heart-warming piece in Indian Express: "A simple principle of statecraft to remember — minority rights are the foundation of a democracy. Always stand for the rights of the minorities because majorities tend to hegemonise the political, social and cultural space of a nation. It is good that even when an imaginary Hindu fear has paralysed the Indian political mind and Muslims are being invisiblised, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are returning to their Gandhian roots, even if their steps are yet not that firm. When in doubt, stand with the persecuted and the minorities. Do not fall into the trap of false equivalence."

Breast Lift Aesthetics
Over time, breast loss, which is one of the most important parts of female body aesthetics, may result in loss of volume, deformities and sagging. Breast recovery, upright and fuller surgery again is called Breast Lift (mastoplexy).
Breast lift surgery is performed especially in pregnancy and breastfeeding process, also after menopause and weight loss, and in people with sagging breasts, although there is no significant problem with the size of the breast due to gravity. Breast lift operation is brought to the place where the nipple is required and the breast is regained volume.
If there is an advanced decrease in breast volume; If the breasts will remain too small after breast lift surgery; using silicone prostheses for surgery; the nozzle is again gained volume. Breast augmentation surgery, breast augmentation is also added.
Breast lift operations are performed only by one of the techniques that will leave a round shape around the nipple or an additional downward straight line and sometimes reverse T shape. Which technique will be used in breast lift surgery depends on the patient.
Breast lift operations are performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately two hours. It is enough to stay in your hospital one night after surgery. Although the first days are a painful process, it is possible to return to normal life on the third day.

Broadly uplifting but undeniably melancholic
It's hard to review this book without spoilers. The value of Fowler's writing isn't completely based on the "big reveal", it's just the dawning realisation is so precious that I'm loathe to steal it from anyone. Suffice it to say that this book is HILARIOUS, and HEART-BREAKING, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. An absolute must-read!! Full review: http://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/we-are-all-completely-beside-ourselves-karen...
Current read.
OP shopping. I think sometimes the collecting is more exciting than the reading, the thrill of discovery and anticipation......
I've read 3 of Paulo Coelho's books, The Alchemist, The Spy & Hippie.
I came across The Valkyries today so I'm wondering if these 4 will give me a good all round feel of Coelho or do I need to read a couple more of his books?
If so, which do you recommend??
This is a solid "pick": 4.5 to 5. The story jumps around the timeline a bit and, as someone who is bothered by that it other books, I get why some people get frustrated with it. But I think it works here.
This book is important. If you've been thinking of picking this one up and haven't yet, avoid spoilers or other reviews, as I think the experience would have been different if I hadn't known the twist. Also, don't read the back.
I will admit that when the first big reveal about Fern came I was a little disappointed at the turn the plot was taking (the narrator suggests we, the reader, may have already figured out that reveal, but I sure hadn't). Regardless, I still enjoyed the book after that, especially when Lowell turned up. And I like the author's writing voice.
1/2 Hugs and thank yous for the tower of birthday bookmail I had waiting for me this morning.
@youneverarrived The title sums up today 😂😂. I remember wanting to read this, but nothing else, - glancing at the reviews, that's totally the way to go in. Excited to see what happens - 😊. And I may have a new favourite greetings card artist 🥰
@Oryx I've SO wanted to read this! Sounds crazy-scary-unbelievable- perfect nf! Thank you 😘

I really enjoyed this book when it was first released, and now I'm glad to have the audiobook. The MC has to give up her #ImaginaryFriend when she goes to school.

A gem- short but takes a while to get through- every page is interesting and well written
I didn't really love this one and I thought I would really enjoy it. I just thought it was all over he place and tough to stay focused on. I liked the characters, but the story got a little lost for me.
There were so many rave reviews of this book that I felt I should have liked it more than I actually did. It started out well. But I just couldn't get emotionally attached to any of the characters. I didn't know ahead of time what the major "twist" was, so I came to that completely unprepared. And I was still feeling "meh" after the reveal.
Picked this up knowing nothing about it last year and ended up really enjoying - loved the narrator; drew me through it very quickly
I don't want to give too much away, because I love the way the author control the release of information in this book. You get to follow the protagonist from University through adulthood. She is a unique character with odd mannerisms. You see into a lot of her internal thought processes. This is the perfect novel for animal lovers and animal rights activists. It is super well-researched and I highly recommend it.

This is great advice! I have a student who makes eye contact and not the long when I'm speaking and it makes me feel heard. I do find that I look toward him more often and tend to think positively about him as a result.

I was working at the library today, and re-shelved our copy of my current #PoutineandPaperbacks read. I found the cover differences interesting. On the left is my library's copy with the North American cover, the right is the UK cover that I'm currently reading. Aside from the far more interesting font on the UK cover, does the American cover not give away a major plot point?
What do you think, @drokka @CouronneDhiver @DebbieGrillo ?
Just got a #PoutineandPaperbacks package in the mail from @DebbieGrillo with both my pick and @CouronneDhiver 's choice. I'm excited to see what you ladies thought of The Namesake, and to read Danielle's pick! I'm also realizing that I'm way behind on sending out @drokka 's selection so I'll try to get that out this week to Danielle (Sorry for the hold up!)

#HumpDayPost @MinDea
Well it packs a punch, that's for sure! Somehow I guessed the twist, despite diligently avoiding spoilers, but it didn't matter as I don't read for plot anyway. I did mind that in places it forgot it was a novel and became a polemic; I can't abide being preached at, whatever the subject. But as a story about family, about who is included and who excluded, and about the random mix of love and damage that could be anyone's upbringing, it is good.
As other reviews have stated, it's difficult to review this book without revealing a huge spoiler, but I'd encourage you to read this without looking at any information about it. I listened to this book on audio and the narrator did an excellent job, inputting all the feels into her storytelling. When the reveal came, I thought I'd misheard and had to rewind for a second listen. A really unusual story which I highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an unusual yet gripping story this is turning out to be. #CurrentlyReading #Audiobook

This @TrishB inspired recommendation is my #TakeAChanceOnMe. As instructed, when I get to it, I will not read the back blurb and go in blind (eek...!).
I think this had the potential to be good from a story perspective but I hated the way it was written and bailed before the end.
Oh, @Leelee.reads ... thank you so much for the #FeedAReader package!! Everything is fabulous! The books are on my TBR and the treats look yummy! I love to use spices so those will come in handy. And that cute bookmark too. Can't wait for the Mac n cheese cookbook, as that is one of my fave things to eat! Thanks so much...you're awesome!
This was my daughters pick - she said don't read the blurb just read the book. I'm glad I didn't read the blurb as it would have totally spoiled it.
I really enjoyed this read, sad and 💔 definitely took me by surprise with a couple of tears today!
Train reading today 😁
On way to work thing in London, although was up very late last night helping my daughter revise and think I will be fighting the nodding off. This was her choice off the kindle.
I'm completely beside myself ... I received a surprise book and the sweetest note ever from @Mitch 😘😘
Thank you so much!
#JB #JustBecause
I've just finished this after trying to stay up later last night to read it! Early morning reading in bed, windows open and birds singing :)
I feel sad at Rosemary's story but also at the science aspects, made me think about my teenage years when I first switched to vegetarian and now vegan. The book will stay with me for a time... I think I'll be mulling it over.
A very emotive book to read - I'm not the only reader to have gulped at the end 😿
"I imagined her at her closet, deciding what you'd wear to go learn something about your child that just might break your heart."
"When I run the world, librarians will be exempt from tragedy. Even their smaller sorrows will only last for as long as you can take out a book."
I really enjoyed this book! Someone donated it to my sidewalk library and I was intrigued so I brought it into the house and was immediately drawn in. Lots of good quotes (expect to see a few more posted over the next day or so), and a surprise twist related to the main character's missing sister. So glad I hadn't read any spoilers! Unique, creative, and unlike anything I've read before.
"We used to believe that memories are best retrieved in the same place where they were first laid down. Like everything else we think we know, that's not so clear anymore."
"And that right there is the difference between me and my brother - I was always afraid of being made to leave and he was always leaving."
Current read. Still reading, which is a feat in itself these days.
What a unique book. Beautifully written, I ended up with so many highlighted passages that I couldn't pick just one to share. Hard to read in parts but I enjoyed it all. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

For the past few years, police departments have been on something of a power trip in the United States. Only citing the lesser-known instances that come to my mind, cops have assaulted autistic teenagers and murdered unarmed civilians, and were subsequently cleared of all charges and let back on the force. A zealous, dogmatic conservative "fanbase," alongside a legal system that actively defends police from facing charges of murder, manslaughter, or assault, assures that these men and women never see justice for their actions. It's awful what police are doing in society, but it's even worse that they can get off scot-free for it. Of course, most of you already know this. So here's my question: has any United States representative or senator proposed a bill designed to fight against unjust acquittals or introduce charges that are harder to to be overturned? As an agorist, I'm partially convinced that this has never happened and that anyone who gets elected for public office in this day and age is a vapid authoritarian, but a sliver of hope remains for me somewhere. Have any of you heard of such legislation on a federal level? If not, then what about on a state level?Jump to Discussion Post 1 reply
Its seems they always skip over the issue. There is always this refusal to acknowledge or "give-in" in to the reality of what its happening on their part Does anyone know why this mentality exists? Is there anyway to stop it? Or try to get through to these people that's its tyranny that is the enemy?Jump to Discussion Post 11 replies
When people are foolish into thinking that the "law" (police, written laws) protect them, does that afford them to not protecting themselves, because they think that the police, and or "law" is always going to be there for them? I feel this will only influence these 'types' of people to provoke others whom they dont like, because they know the "law will be on their side." So as an example: When the person reacts, naturally, the instigator can turn around and say, "Help, help, police!" I feel that this is an abuse and exploitation of law and policing. When police and or law protects people, do people foolishly think that the law is on their side and they can bend it to their will, against their enemies AKA: people they dont like in society, and do they? My conclusion is that people use the police and law, to get THEM what they want against their enemies, because they KNOW the law will "protect" them in the process. So in many cases you find for example, bad co-workers, bosses, friends and family, who deliberately instigate a provocation KNOWING FULLY the other persons reaction, so that person they targeted, can be sent to jail or fined. The police or laws are exploited as a mafia type agency for these types of people. One could say the strong arm of these types of people. All the while these people, DONT PROTECT THEMSELVES! Your thoughts?Jump to Discussion Post 2 replies
So… yesterday I had to interact with one of our town's finest. My company experienced a theft, one of our trailers was stolen off of our lot. It is my responsibility to file the police report and the insurance claim. So… I do what I need to do. Give him the details of the crime. As he's leaving he says "So, you'll want to be sure to let us know right away if it turns up. Like, if one of your employees just forgot to tell you where it is, we would sure hate to have them experience 12 guns pointed in their face." WHAAT THE FUCK?? I laughed him off… thinking that was his very poor attempt at a joke. He didn't laugh. So I assured him that would indeed be something to try and avoid, and said I'd be sure to "warn" all of my employees. But why? Why haven't the cops learned anything yet? Why on earth would he suggest that they would take someone by gunpoint for being in possession of a stolen trailer? And why would it be like a whole damn brigade of them pointing their guns?? Is this just going to get worse before it gets better? Ugh. I hope not.Jump to Discussion Post 50 replies

David Anderson, PhD of Spark Therapeutics is helping the company develop a gene therapy for Batten disease. In this clip, Dr. Anderson describes this rare disease and the need for a gene therapy to cure this progressive, neurodegenerative disorder.
Batten disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder with multiple subtypes. Spark Therapeutics is focused on finding a treatment for the CLN2 form of the disease that is due to a mutation in the TTP1 gene, a gene responsible for the production of tripeptidyl peptidase I.
Dr Anderson summarizes the pathophysiology of the condition and said, "If you don't have this gene (TTP1), you can't process proteins appropriately in vesicles in the brain and you get a buildup of peptides and a buildup of other lysosomal storage debris."
The end result of the accumulation of this debris is cell death. Dr Anderson said, "in some parts of the body this is not a big deal but when you're in the brain you have very limited supply of neurons," adding that these children grow fairly normally but around the age of 4 or 5 years of age, symptoms will start to appear. "Often in a child, it's a seizure which is complicated because when you see a seizure your doctor doesn't normally think about Batten disease, they think about one of the many types of seizure disorders, so it takes a while to go through that problem," noted Dr. Anderson, adding, "It is during that period of time you're losing neurons .… you're losing things in the cortices you're losing neurons in the deep brain structures. And we can't replace those, they're gone."
As the disease progresses, the child will lose their cognitive abilities, motor abilities, sight, speech, etc. Eventually, the child will require assistance with feeding and breathing, and will likely die after about an 8 year period if not treated.

Why do you need a strap line?
How to Create a Good Strapline
Think of it as if you had one short sentence to sum up your business and persuade a customer to choose you.
Then spend a bit of time mixing and matching words, and constructing a small sentence around them.
There are many different kinds of devices that can help provide memorable Straplines; here are some of the most common, why not try a few and see what you can come up with:
Question and Answer: Posing and answering a question, or simply having two half sentences making different sides of a point.
The answer of course is yes, but most bad Straplines are just forgotten until a better one comes along. So unless you decide to have a strapline such as "Buy This Stupid" it is unlikely that a bad strapline will have much of a negative impact.
A good way to test whether your strapline is any good is to discuss it with suppliers or regular customers; and see what their thoughts are on it.
Although you cannot rely on this kind of discussion to be completely accurate, it is better than going ahead without any research!
Once you have decided upon your best Strapline, add it to your letterheads, business cards, leaflets and website; and start spreading your message!

Infrastructure Services in Developing Countries: Access, Quality, Costs, and Policy Reform
33 Pages Posted: 4 Jan 2005
Date Written: December 2004
Briceno, Estache, and Shafik review the evidence on the state of infrastructure in the developing world, emphasizing the investment needs and the emerging policy issues. While their assessment is seriously constrained by data gaps, they provide useful insights on the main challenges ahead, emphasizing that, in addition to the widely discussed access problems, the poorest also face major affordability and service quality issues which were not well addressed by the reforms of the 1990s. The authors make a case for a stronger commitment of the international community to generate the information needed to assess and monitor infrastructure needs and policies.
This paper - a product of the Office of the Vice President, Infrastructure Network - is part of a larger effort in the network to upgrade economic and policy work in infrastructure.

What surfaces should I NOT use this on???
Can I use it on wood?
NikiLynn:We have hardwood floors and I have used it on it; HOWEVER, my H would DIE if he knew I did this so I scrub sections of the floor w/this mixture and then immediately wipe up w/a dry-ish towel/rag so that water is just not sitting on the floor. Also, I don't use this EVERY time I clean the floors.
This is exactly what I do.

Will Richardson Jaguars Jersey .C. -- Montreal left wing Max Pacioretty was confident he can play for the U.S. in the Olympics after sustaining a lower-body injury against Carolina on Saturday night. Pacioretty collided with the goal with 7:30 left in the first period after being checked by Carolinas Brett Bellemore in the teams final game before the Olympic break. After the game, Pacioretty said it was precautionary for him not to return. "I went in pretty hard and I got the wind knocked out of me," said Pacioretty. " I think the team wanted to play it safe and I think it was a good decision." A native of New Canaan, Conn., Pacioretty will leave for Sochi, Russia, on Sunday to join the American team, which opens play Thursday against Slovakia. The 25-year-old Pacioretty has played 49 games this season. He has 26 goals and 11 assists. Pacioretty had his second hat trick of the season Thursday in a 5-2 win over Vancouver.

The selection was packaged in the teams deal for Thomas Vanek on October 27, 2013. LONDON -- Samuel Etoo and Gary Cahill scored first half goals as Chelsea turned in a dominant performance to beat Galatasaray 2-0 on Tuesday and reach the Champions League quarterfinals with a 3-1 victory on aggregate. Galatasarays former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba made no impact on his return to Stamford Bridge, being reduced to a minor role like the rest of his teammates in the second leg match of the last 16. Playing his first game at Chelsea since his last kick for the Blues won a penalty shootout with Bayern Munich in the final two years ago, Drogba received a warm welcome from the home fans. But Etoo quickly stole the spotlight, opening the scoring from a tight angle in the fourth minute. Cahill doubled the lead from close range in the 42nd. In the nights other match, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid beat Schalke 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu to reach the quarterfinals with a 9-2 rout on aggregate. Drogba looked a shadow of his former self and did not have a single clear-cut chance. But both his manager Roberto Mancini and his former coach Jose Mourinho jumped to his defence. "It was not his fault, it was very difficult for him because we did not play tonight," Mancini said. Mourinho said his former protege was not helped by his teammates after they failed to produce attacking football. "We were very solid and very confident, we controlled the game," Mourinho said. "If youre a striker and your team doesnt attack, you feel a lonely man." All eyes were on Drogba as he entered the pitch to start his warm-up at a nearly empty stadium. The Ivory Coast forward did not change his usual routine, touching the grass and crossing himself before joining his teammates. After being lured from Marseille by Mourinho, Drogba scored 157 goals in 341 appearances for the London club between 2004-12 and was voted the greatest player in the clubs history. As teams entered the pitch before kickoff, Drogba pointed a finger towards the Chelsea kop where a banner reading "Drogba Legend" had been unfurled. He then ran to the touchline to give a handshake and a kiss to Mourinho. Though the spotlight was on Drogba, Etoo soon gave Chelsea a perfect start to the game. Eden Hazard linked up well with Oscar to release the ball for the Cameroon striker, who fired past goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. Wesley Sneijder strugggled to build any attacks from midfield for the visitors, while Etoo created further danger from the right flank before his attempted cut-back was blocked by defenders. Niles Paul Jaguars Jersey. Drogba then tried his luck from the edge of the box but his acrobatic volley ended well over the bar in a moment that summed up his return to his former club. Toying with defenders with his usual frenzied pace and dribbles, Hazard produced another stellar performance for Chelsea. The Belgium playmaker was behind nearly all his sides attacks and his relentless efforts made it a tiring night for the Galatasaray defence. Hazard and Oscar exchanged a series of one-twos in the 22nd minute before the Belgium international crossed for Lampard, who missed his attempt and sent the ball over. Hazard took a shot from distance two minutes later but his effort was stopped by Muslera. Chelsea went closer in the 33rd minute when captain John Terrys superb left-footed volley from Lampards free kick flew over the bar with Muslera looking beaten. Another fast move between Hazard and Oscar almost paid off but Alex Telles return pass prevented Willian from doubling the lead. Chelseas tenacity was finally rewarded before the interval when Cahill scored from the rebound with a powerful finish after Muslera had parried away Terrys header from a corner. Hazard continued to torment Galatasarays defence in the second half. In the 49th, he went on a diagonal run across the pitch and evaded Semih Kaya before releasing the ball for Etoo -- but Oscars shot from the strikers cross was blocked by Melo. Though Galatasaray pushed forward in search of a goal, Chelsea comfortably kept the visitors at bay while being dangerous on the break until the final whistle. Drogba left the pitch to a standing ovation as Chelsea fans chanted his name. Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard was delighted with sides performance in west London. "It was everything we wanted it to be. We knew it was going to be a tough game and they hardly threatened," Lampard said. "It was a very controlled, very professional performance from all of us," said After Manchester City and Arsenal exited the competition last week, Manchester United will try to join Chelsea in the last eight when it hosts Olympiakos on Wednesday.

Well, it looks like she's fairly obscure. Lord Wiki doesn't even know who she is. He doesn't have anything to say about her. Oh well. I shall have to do this post without him.
It looks like Maggie Kirkpatrick is from the cast of Wicked. She plays Madame Morrible, the villian of the story.
TV.com has a small biography about her. She was born on 21 January 1941. Her sixty-ninth birthday is about a month away.
The town she was born in is Albury. That place is meaningful to me in a kind of sad way. My friend was supposed to come up from Ballarat to meet us in Sydney. Then she got sick on the drive up. She ended up staying in Albury until she was well enough to drive. Then she returned to Ballarat. So yeah. That's what I think of when I see the name Albury. It's a sad memory, but I'm thankful my friend had a friend in Albury that could help take care of her.
When Kirkpatrick was a baby, her dad died in the war. Her mom was left to raise two kids by herself.
At some point, the family moved to Newcastle. From an early age, Kirkpatrick loved acting. She did school plays. At the age of fourteen, she dropped out of school. She hadn't liked it. That would have been in 1955. I wonder how common dropping out was in those days. In the 1800's and early 1900's, it doesn't seem unusual at all to me. But my guess is that in the 1950's, it would be more unusual.
I wonder when the stay-at-school movement became big. I mean...earlier in history, I don't think it people were frowned upon for leaving school to work on the farm or get a job elsewhere. Maybe it was the same in the 1950's. I don't know. I've been searching on Google for statistics and stuff, but I'm not really sure exactly what I'm looking for.
Anyway, TV.com said that Kirkpatrick's mom signed her up for drama lessons. She felt that might keep Kirkpatrick out of trouble.
Some years later, Kirkpatrick got her first job acting. This was with John Alden's Shakespeare Company. Something must have gone wrong, because then Kirkpatrick quit acting and had a variety of other jobs. She worked in restaurants and hotels. She was a receptionist in a doctor's office. She worked in a dress shop......
Maybe she didn't quit acting because something went wrong. Maybe she still loved acting, but realized she might not make enough money from it. TV.com doesn't really explain.
While working and not acting, Kirkpatrick fell in love. She got married when she was about twenty-two. The lovely couple moved to Sydney. Once they were there, she decided to return to acting.
Kirkpatrick did two plays. Then she quit again. This time it was for maternity leave. When her daughter Caitlin was a little older, Kirkpatrick went back to acting. She did more plays, and then some TV and movie stuff.
Eventually, Kirkpatrick and her husband got divorced. Now she has two grandchildren. TV.com says the AIDS cause is very important to her. She's been involved with that for a long time. The Sydney Gay community gave her something called The DIVA award.
This British website has some stuff about Kirkpatrick. They say she played a mean warden on Prisoner. I wonder if she's the one I saw when I wrote about the woman from Kath and Kim. Crap, I forgot her name. Let me go see......
Jane Turner!
Okay yes. I'm looking at my old post. The mean warden I saw was Mrs. Ferguson. And she WAS played by Maggie Kirkpatrick. I was thinking maybe that's why I added her to the list. But I wrote about Turner in November. I posted about Anthony Callea on July 15. I usually write posts ahead, so I can bet I ran into Kirkpatrick's name on July 11. It all makes sense.
Back to the British website.....
Well, in a minute. I'm surprised Lord Wiki didn't write about her. I thought she had just been an obscure theater actress. But why would he not write about a star of a huge TV show. Maybe he does have an entry, and I missed it?
Well, no. I just checked again. I don't see anything. That's kind of surprising.
Okay, back to the British website...for real this time.
They say when Kirkpatrick started acting again in Sydney, she worked at the New Theater. This so-called new theater has been around since 1932. Why do people use new in a name like that? It's not going to stay new forever. It's like that New School in NYC. When I lived there, I literally thought it was a new school. My sister got her first email address around the time she got married. She used the word newlywed in her screenname. She STILL has that email address, and she's been married for over eleven years.
When Kirkpatrick returned to acting after her maternity leave, she appeared in the movie version of Pirates of Penzance. It was called The Pirate Movie. According to IMDb, this came out in 1982. Kilpatrick would have been about forty-one when the movie was made. I kind of remember that movie being out, but I don't think I saw it. I never realized it was Australian....probably because the two lead stars (Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins) were American. The director was British. Maybe it wouldn't be classified as an Australian movie then. Maybe it was just filmed in Australia.
Some television producers in Australia saw The Pirate Movie. They had been looking for an actress to play the mean warden in their TV Show. They liked Maggie Kirkpatrick, and that's how she ended up on Prisoner. She had actually already auditioned for the show earlier. Prisoner had started three years before the pirate thing. Kirkpatrick had gone for the role of Vera Bennett, but lost. Well, she got a role on the show eventually.
Oh, this is kind of funny. Lord Wiki says, that on the show, Ferguson was the warden who replaced Bennett. I think it's neat that Kirkpatrick auditioned, didn't get the role, and then ended up playing the character that replaced the other character.
Lord Wiki says Ferguson was....
Oh! Now I see! He DOES have an entry on her. I figured it would be weird for him to talk about the character, but not the actress. What happened? I had been spelling her name totally wrong this whole time. I spelled it as Kilpatrick. That actually goes beyond a spelling mistake. I had her name totally wrong. The pathetic thing is I've been reading her name multiple times while doing the post, and still writing it wrong. I think it's because I read using the whole-word method rather than phonetically. The whole word method DOES help me read fast, and I like that. But every so often, I miss a crucial detail that gets me very lost.
Anyway, TV.com and the British site still talked to me despite my mistake. Lord Wiki was a bit less forgiving. But now we're reunited. I think I already got most of the information he provides, so I'll skip him a bit. I am reading what he has to say about Ferguson though. She was a lesbian. I wonder if that caused any problems or controversy. Certain populations are not often seen on the television. So when they're played in a negative light, I think it can be....I don't know what word I'm thinking of. Maybe offensive?
For example, there's not a lot of homeschooling people in the media. We're pretty rare. The few times I've seen homeschooled characters, they're usually negative portrayals. That offends me because I know some people have negative stereotypes of homeschoolers. The media plays into their preconceived ideas. I would find it much LESS bothersome, if there were many fictional homeschooled characters out there. Then a few negative examples would be fine. There are always bad apples in every group.
If there are many lesbian characters on TV, I'd say no problem in having a few evil ones. If there's very few lesbians on TV, and one of the few is an evil bitch.....I might find that somewhat disturbing. So I am wondering if the gay community was offended by it at all.
This essay about the show says it was shown in the United States. Mainstream America accepted it, but it did run into some protests from the gay community. The producer of the show argued that it wasn't anti-lesbian. And there were other gay characters besides Ferguson....I guess more positive ones. One was named Franky Doyle. I guess some members of the American gay community took a liking to her. They held a wake for the character when she died.
I wish Judy Blume would do the same regarding homeschooling. She disappointed me by having a very negative and stereotypical homeschooling family in one of her books. I wish she'd write another book someday with a more positive homeschooling family.
Back to Kirpatrick.....
I think I'm just going to use IMDb for awhile. Maybe I'll watch a few videos on YouTube. I feel a bit disjointed at the moment. I need to make sure, for now on, that I search for the RIGHT names when I do these posts.
Kirkpatrick appeared in various TV shows before she did the pirate and prisoner thing.
Her first TV show appearance happened in 1971. This was the Godfathers. My internet is suddenly working very slow. I don't know what's wrong. I'll take a break, I suppose....and read my book.
I'm back. Things are looking better now.
From what I can see, The Godfathers lasted for a pretty short time; maybe only one episode? The premise looks sweet though. It's about a single mother who opens her home to three male boarders. They take on father-like roles with her child. Although in real life, one of the men would probably molest the child. I know that's harsh, but..... Okay, well yeah. I have a harsh view of the world sometimes. What can I say?
Kirkpatrick appeared here and there on TV in the 1970's. I'm too lazy to name all the shows. I'm doubting she had substantial roles. From what I read earlier, it seems the pirate and prisoner stuff were her big breaks.
In 1976, Kirkpatrick appeared in a comedy called Summer of Secrets. When I read the plot description, I mistook the movie for being a horror one:
A young couple venture into a summer beach house and make passionate love, unaware that they are being observed by a demented doctor who later uses the girl as part of a bizarre experiment.
Does that not sound like a horror movie?
In 1977, Kirkpatrick was in F.J Holden. Like you might guess from the title....it's a car movie.
YouTube has the trailer. Kirpatrick might not be in it, but it will be fun to watch anyway.
In 1978, Kirkpatrick was in a movie with the wonderful amazing Ruth Cracknell. This was The Night, The Prowler. I probably wrote about this when I researched Cracknell. It's based on a play by Patrick White. It does sound a LITTLE familar to me.
Here's the trailer. I don't really remember seeing this. Maybe I missed it last time.
That looks very bizarre....but intriguing.
Also in 1978, Kirkpatrick was in The Getting of Wisdom. I like that title. It was directed by Bruce Beresford, the guy who'd go onto later make Breaker Morant and Driving Miss Daisy.
The Getting of Wisdom is also a book. I'm going to see if Powells has it....
They do! I added it to my wish list. I'll order it in a few months, probably.
With all these movies I'm listing....I don't think Kirpatrick had a large role. I might be wrong though.
Here's the trailer for The Pirate Movie. Kirkpatrick's role might have been substantial enough to get her into the trailer. I'm not sure.
Well, I didn't see her....
If the story's true that the Prisoner producers found Kirkpatrick when they watched The Pirate Movie....I wonder if they remembered her from her earlier audition. Did she look completely new to them, or did they recognize her?
Here's some scenes from Prisoner....
This one has Ferguson beating up on someone named Chrissy.
There's a lot of drama in this scene!
That Ferguson is a scary mean woman. I wouldn't want to cross her path. Although I think I've met similar folks on the Internet. It's much easier/better to meet such people within cyberspace, rather than real life.
Here's another Ferguson scene. Well, it looks like the prisoners ALMOST got their revenge.
Kirkpatrick was on Prisoner until 1986. I wonder what happened to her character.
In 1988, Kirpatrick did another soap opera....Richmond Hill. That lasted for only a year. It was about a police station.
I'm going to be skipping some stuff here and there. I'm just warning people. If I miss something you see as being important, please let me know.
In 1990, she was in another Patrick White thing. It was a TV movie called The Ham Funeral. Actually, it might have been a filmed theater production, rather than a TV movie. I mean they performed the play on stage, and someone filmed it.
Also in 1990, Kirkpatrick starred in a children's show called Betty's Bunch. Kirkpatrick played Betty, so I assume she had a pretty major role in that.
Here's a bit from YouTube....it's one of those videos where someone simply filmed their TV set. I think it's the end credits with the theme song. I didn't see Kirkpatrick.
In 1991, Kirkpatrick did another TV show about kids. This one was called The Miraculous Mellops Here's the opening for this show. It's science fiction. I like the little song.
Kirkpatrick played a nun in an episode of Hey Dad...! I mention that because I think it was a fairly popular TV show. Does anyone remember that nun episode? Speaking of nuns....pretty exciting about the Saint Mary thing.
In 1993, Kirkpatrick was in a horror movie called Encounters. According to a IMDb user, it's about a woman who starts having scary dreams about her past.
Also that year, Kirkpatrick played Maureen O'Hara in Billy's Holiday. Isn't Maureen O'Hara an actress?
Yeah. She was in The Parent Trap. I thought so. I wonder if Kirkpatrick was playing the actress, or was she just playing someone who had the same name?
In 1996, Kirkpatrick was in Lilian's Story. That's the one that's based on the Kate Grenville book. and Kate Grenville based her novel on a real life Sydney homeless woman. Kirkpatrick is low in the credits. She probably had a pretty small role. The stars are Ruth Cracknell and Toni Collette. I'd really like to see it someday. I'll look out for it on TV. We get a surprisingly fair amount of Aussie movies.
Here's a scene from the movie. I doubt Kirkpatrick will be in it, but I want to see Cracknell.
I think Cracknell has a beautiful voice.
In 1997, Kirkpatrick appeared in a lost-American-in-Australia movie. This one was called Welcome to Woop Woop. I was guessing it was an American movie filmed in Australia. But the director is an Aussie.
Here's the trailer.
Oh! the director is the guy who did The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
It's funny how knowing who directed a film can change one's outlook. I thought it looked dumb when I saw the title and plot. But seeing who directed it....and watching the trailer....it looks better than I expected.
In 2000, Kirpatrick revived her Ferguson character for a comedy show called Pizza. Cool. It looks like YouTube has a clip.
Okay. That made me laugh out loud a bit. It's pretty silly.
In 2003 and 2004, Kirkpatrick did ten episodes of Home and Away. She played Viv Standish. Maybe she was related to Miles Standish. He was one of the guys on the Mayflower boat. Yeah. I know she's not. One character is real and the other is fake. I just wanted to show off the fact that I actually know something offhandabout American history. I'm so damn proud of myself.
This website says Viv Standish (AKA "The Guy") was a prisoner. How ironic. Or is that irony? I get confused sometimes.
I'm going to move onto Wicked now. I wonder who is more evil....Madame Morrible or Ferguson.
Never mind. I'll get to that later.
I just found an official Maggie Kirkpatrick site. It includes a message to her fans. That was last updated in 2006. She's a bit behind with her website work. She did Fiddler on the Roof. She starred opposite Topol. I think that's the guy who's in the movie version. Right?
Yeah. Lord Wiki says I'm correct.
Kirkpatrick had a tumor removed on her bowel. Fortunately, it wasn't malignant. But she advises the rest of us to look out for such stuff.
Here's a list of plays Kirkpatrick has been in. Her first professional performance was in Macbeth. She's been in a lot of stuff. I'm not going to list them all.
There's a bunch of articles and interviews. This one's from TV week, and is about her role on Prisoner.
In the interview she says, I'm very happy people hate her as much as they do. It means I've succeeded in what the creator of the character intended.
That makes sense. Although I think the best villains are the ones that make us somewhat sympathetic...like Ben on Lost. Or....there's the ones that make us squirm because they somewhat remind us of ourselves. I was a bit disturbed because the villains in Pat Conroy's South of Broad sort of reminded me of myself. One is an awful (but SOMEWHAT sympathetic) mother. She reminded me of me because she's a failure at domestic stuff. Her husband (like Tim) does most of the cooking. Although I'm better than the character because I do SOME of the cooking. I'm not completely lost in that area. She was also passionate about a specific subject....like I'm passionate about Australia. But I think (HOPE!) that I'm much less of a bitch than she is.
The other character reminded me of myself because he homeschooled his children and went around speaking in different accents. I homeschool Jack. I speak in different voices and accents almost all the time. But unlike the character in the book, I'm not a scary evil homicidal pedophile.
Anyway, I can't really judge the character of Ferguson because I don't know much about her. She might be one of those villains who is somewhat sympathetic. She might also remind some people of themselves.
In the interview, Kirkpatrick says she left school because she was horrible at it. She says, If only they'd known in those days how to foster or channel the talents of students. Yeah, I don't think many schools are succeeding in that these days either.
Kirkpatrick mentions the guilt of being a working mother. Let's face it. All mothers are going to feel guilty or inadequate....no matter what path they take. I was talking to another mother recently about the guilt of choosing-to-stay home. Sometimes you feel worthless, because our society has taught us you're only worth something if you bring home a paycheck. But if you go off and get a job, then you feel guilty because you're away from you're child.
Mothers can't win. But I'm sure fathers have their grief as well.
Here's the Wicked website. It has a few videos....they're not working so well for me. I'm going to head back to YouTube.
I've linked to this before, but it's worth linking to it again. It's the cast of Wicked singing a memorial tribute to Rob Guest. That's so damn beautiful.
Here's a interview she did with Simon Burke.
She has an elegant sort of beauty.
Funny. They show a clip of The Helpmann Awards. They did a bit with Burke in a prison....and guess who played the warden. Cute!
I love Kirkpatrick's voice. It's pretty much perfect for Madame Morrible.
I think I could also love Kirkpatrick in general. From what I read on her outdated fan message, and from what I see in this interview....well, she has a nice sense of humor. I don't know. She just seems like a nice person to me.
In the interview, she describes both the positive and negative aspects of fame. It got her good tables at restaurants. The banks said yes to her. Life can be nice when people know who you are. But on the negative side, it led her to some not-so-great romances. And sometimes she wasn't responsible with the money. But all in all....she says it was a blast. Well, hopefully it still IS a blast. She hasn't retired yet.
There was a musical version of Prisoner! How funny. Here's a news report about that. This site shows that it didn't last too long. It opened in October 1995, and closed in January. Although maybe it had a comeback? This site says Paris Hilton was potentially going to have a role in the show.
Back to the Simon Burke interview.....
Kirkpatrick is asked about having a Newcastle childhood. She says there's a song that probably sums up the experience for all young woman growing up in smaller Australian towns. "Girls in Our Town". She sings it. It's a pretty song. At least I think so. I can see how Kirpatrick relates to it. The lyrics mention dropping out school when you're fifteen.
Maggie Kirkpatrick is awesome.
I'm guessing the song is an American one. It says bathroom instead of toilet.
Oh no. I'm totally wrong. Lord Wiki says it was written ABOUT Newcastle. And it was written by an Australian. Maybe they figured bathroom fit better than toilet. Do some Australians say bathroom?
Here's the song sung by Margret Roadknight, the woman who made it famous. I really like this song. It's the type of song that makes me want to start crying. I added it to my YouTube favorites. While I'm there, I'll listen to Olivia Newton John sing with Peter Allen. That makes me want to cry as well.

We loved our stay at the Relais Vatican View....staff was awesome, the room was beautiful and we especially loved our balcony and roof top terrace.
Great location. Close to Vatican and very safe. Upscale comfort, extremely clean, and modern style. Very lovely!
I stayed there this past May & almost don't want to write a review and share this fabulous little gem! The location is perfect ! Literally right around the corner from the Vatican, so close the Italian army is stationed across the street from the Relais Vatican View. On Sunday you hear the Popes Mass echoing in the distance. I was on their rooftop terrace every night with my wine bottle with the beautiful Vatican in one side & Castle Sant' Angelo on the other! Just a few feet away via Borgo Pio & fabulous restaurants Rione XIV, Borghiciana Pastifico, Taverna Angelica! My room was amazing! Kitchenette with little refrigerator, espresso maker, hot water kettle (teas) & little cakes to snack on. I was on the 4th floor - but after a few steps there's a lift. I was traveling solo, staff are on site from 08:00 - 4:00 pm, I felt very safe. Thank you so much Fabio!!! I cam got wait to go back! Fabio was so wonderful Grazie mille!!!
Don't know why this property is on this website, it is not a hotel, it's more of a low end apartment. They use angles in the pictures to make the room look bigger, the staff leaves at 4 pm, you have to enter a code to back into the building, the shower had mold around the window, the shower head wasn't attached properly so water was shooting out of the base of the head and the shower door wasn't hung properly so the door didn't close completely, the neighborhood is sketchy and that is coming from someone who grew up in New York and knows bad areas, no breakfast you have to leave the building and go to a bar next door and on top of that you have to pay $10 per person per day. The few good things I can say is that while the guy at the desk was there, he was helpful and from the roof you can see the top of the Vatican.

Copeptin does not add diagnostic information to high-sensitivity troponin T in low- to intermediate-risk patients with acute chest pain: results from the rule out myocardial infarction by computed tomography (ROMICAT) study.
Journal Article
PURPOSE: Copeptin, a stable peptide derived from the AVP precursor, has been linked to presence and severity of myocardial ischemia. We sought to evaluate the predictive value of copeptin and its incremental value beyond that of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) in patients with acute chest pain and low to intermediate risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS: We recruited patients who presented with acute chest pain to the emergency department and had a negative initial conventional troponin T test (<0.03 μg/L). In all patients, hs-cTnT and copeptin measurements were taken. Each patient also underwent cardiac computed tomography (CT) and coronary angiography. RESULTS: Baseline copeptin concentrations, in contrast to hs-cTnT, were not significantly higher in patients with ACS than in those without (P = 0.24). hs-cTnT showed an earlier rise in patients with ACS than copeptin, when analyses were stratified by time. A copeptin concentration ≥7.38 pmol/L had a negative predictive value (NPV) of 94% and a sensitivity of 51%, whereas hs-cTnT (≥13.0 pg/mL) had a NPV of 96% and a sensitivity of 63%. The combination of copeptin and hs-cTnT resulted in a lower diagnostic accuracy than hs-cTnT alone. Finally, on cardiac CT, copeptin concentrations were not associated with coronary artery morphology, although they were related to the presence of left ventricular dysfunction (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with acute chest pain and low to intermediate risk for ACS, copeptin concentrations are not independently predictive of ACS and do not add diagnostic value beyond that of hs-cTnT measurements.
