Transcript Part 1/2
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: As we continue our conversation with the author and activist Arundhati Roy, she is now joined in Chicago by Sanjay Kak, a New Delhi-based documentary filmmaker. His most recent film is Jashn-e-Azadi, or How We Celebrate Freedom. He's the author of Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir.
We welcome you in joining Arundhati in this discussion. Can you talk about, Arundhati first, the lay of the land, why you have become so interested in this issue, and why you're traveling to the United States to speak about it?
ARUNDHATI ROY: No, it is—well, I suppose if one were to explain the situation in the simplest possible terms, the struggle for self-determination in Kashmir began in 1947, at the time of India's independence and the partition of India and Pakistan. And Kashmir, which used to be an independent kingdom, was more or less torn apart during partition, half occupied by Pakistan and the other half occupied by India. And it is a country with a—I mean, it's a state with a predominantly Muslim population, but had a Hindu ruler, who was supposed to have acceded to India, though there was supposed to be a plebiscite after 1947, which never took place.
And today Kashmir is the most densely militarized zone in the world. India has something like 700,000 security forces there. And in the '90s, early '90s, the fight became—turned into an armed struggle, and since then, something like 68,000 people have died, maybe 100,000 tortured, 10,000 disappeared, you know? I mean, we all talk a lot about Chile, Pinochet. These numbers are far greater. And this is just the crude end of it, you know? Can you imagine living in a place where there are so many soldiers, you can't—you go out of your door, you come out, come to a barrier. Every aspect of life, whether it's joyous or otherwise, is sort of diverted through the military.
And it's become a very ugly—an ugly stain on people who would like to be—have some self-respect. And I'm talking about Indians, you know, I'm talking about somebody like myself, that it makes me feel that it's such a morally reprehensible thing to be living in a country that is doing this to a people and keeping—everyone is keeping quiet about it. There are very, very few people in India who would say anything about this. I mean, we hear about conscientious objectors in Iraq, in Vietnam, but in India there has never, ever been a conscientious objector in the army. And what they are doing to people is terrible.
AMY GOODMAN: Sanjay Kak, you have written Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir. Why describe it in that way? And what do you feel an international audience needs to understand now about Kashmir?
SANJAY KAK: You know, since 1990, Kashmir has been sort of characterized as this place which is riven with armed conflict. And in a sense, that has been the dominating sort of aspect of what has been going on there. And it's only from around 2008 that there was a kind of paradigm shift in terms of what was going on there. You could argue that the armed militancy had been broken or that that society decided that the armed struggle was not the only way in which it could proceed further, but we began to sense something happening in 2008, which is when, after decades, hundreds and thousands of people began coming out on the streets. And this happened in 2008. It happened in 2009. And 2010 was sort of almost cataclysmic in terms of the change that we saw on the streets. Of course, it meant that the security forces came out, and more than 120 young men were killed on the streets, armed with nothing more than rocks, but it was a moment which was also accompanied by a explosion in writing about Kashmir. And it was obvious to all of us that the sort of the stone throwing on the street, the intifada of the street, was accompanied by an intifada of the mind, you know, a sort of a churning, a release.
And this book, Until My Freedom Has Come, actually seeks to—not to commemorate, but to draw attention to the fact that something very, very significant has happened in Kashmir. And I think while you might be able to curb the young men on the street, you might be able to increase the number of soldiers from 600,000 to 800,000, but once people make that switch in their heads, you know, once the intifada of the mind is operational, then I think it's a fantastic moment, because it's a very liberatory moment. And the book seeks to mark that moment of liberation.
AMY GOODMAN: How does what happens in Kashmir affect what happens in India, in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, Sanjay?
SANJAY KAK: It's totally locked in. I mean, if you were to just see what impact what's happening in Kashmir has on the body of the Indian republic, I think it's extremely important, firstly because right from 1947, when India came into being, Kashmir has been the kind of symbolic heart, or the head, actually, the crown around which Indian self-identity is tied up—and, of course, the middle opposite in Pakistan. So if, for Indians, Kashmir represents the triumph of Indian secularism, where a Muslim-majority province becomes part of India, then, for Pakistan, the very same act becomes a failure, because here is a Muslim—a country built as a safe haven for Muslims, which cannot hold onto a Muslim-majority province. So there is a kind of semiotic, very heavy weight attached to Kashmir, but that's not the only thing. I think that, you know, for the last 25 years, we've seen the most horrendous deployment of the army and the most retrogressive and undemocratic sets of laws—the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, the Public Safety Act. So, in a sense, it's really—
AMY GOODMAN: We have five seconds.
SANJAY KAK: It's the end of—if you want to look at Kashmir, you can see the end of democracy in what's happening in Kashmir.
AMY GOODMAN: We're going to do part two online at democracynow.org. Sanjay Kak, filmmaker, author, Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir. And the great writer, Arundhati Roy.
Transcript Part: 2/2
Part 2: Arundhati Roy & Sanjay Kak on Context for Kashmir Unrest After Hanging of Afzal Guru
In part two of our conversation with acclaimed author Arundhati Roy and New Delhi-based journalist Sanjay Kak, they discuss the case of Afzal Guru, who was hanged last month for his alleged attack on the Indian parliament, and the push by the United States and Europe to sell weapons to Pakistan and India as unrest continues in the region.
See part one of this interview, A New Intifada in Kashmir? Arundhati Roy & Sanjay Kak on the World's Most Densely Militarized Area.
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. We're joined by two guests. Arundhati Roy, the great writer, renowned global justice activist, has written many books, including The God of Small Things, for which she won the Booker Prize, among others. Her other books include Walking with the Comrades and Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers, among others. And we're joined by Sanjay Kak, who is a Delhi-based documentary filmmaker. His most recent film is Jashn-e-Azadi, or How We Celebrate Freedom. He's also the author of Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir.
I wanted to start with Arundhati Roy, talking about the hanging of Afzal Guru. Can you talk about who he is—certainly not a well-known name in the United States—and his significance, when we're talking about the politics of Kashmir?
ARUNDHATI ROY: In 2001, there was a very sort of radically right-wing Hindu government in power in Delhi called the Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP. And when 9/11 happened here in the U.S., it sort of segued beautifully into this anti-Islamic, anti-Muslim, religious fundamentalist rhetoric that had been unleashed in India. The nuclear tests had just happened. The whole language of nationalism changed in India after those tests. And there was this attempt to suddenly, you know, shift into saying that India, the U.S. and Israel were natural allies. India, which had been traditionally non-aligned, suddenly became the natural ally of the U.S.
And then in December 13th—on December 13th, 2001, there was this very botched, really rather corny attack on the Indian parliament, where five terrorists drove in in a white car, with a sort of banner—like a poster stuck on the windscreen saying "India is a very bad country, and we hate India," and so on. And the car was stopped, and people got out, and they shot something like five security guards and a couple of gardeners. And then they were shot, all these terrorists. And then began this frenzied, you know, thing about democracy has been attacked by Muslim terrorists, Kashmiri terrorists, and they arrested four people. The mastermind, they said, was this young professor of Arabic called SAR Geelani from Delhi University, and Afzal Guru and his cousin, Shaukat, and Shaukat's wife, Afsan Guru, were the sort of foot soldiers. And they began this big media trial, and it was very, very ugly.
And a lawyer called Nandita Haksar very quickly realized that there was something terribly wrong here, especially because SAR Geelani was someone whom many people knew well. He was a well-known person in Delhi, and nobody thought he could have done this. And she put together a committee for the fair defense of Geelani. I was on it. Sanjay was on it. There were a few of us. At that time, the atmosphere was so ugly. And the trial court basically sentenced Geelani, Shaukat and Afzal Guru to death. But Geelani was subsequently acquitted by the Supreme Court.
But the trouble is that Afzal Guru, who was a person who was from Kashmir, not from Delhi, not a Kashmiri living in Delhi—Afzal Guru never had a lawyer at the trial stage. And when Geelani was acquitted, the courts and the media and everybody just decided to make Afzal the fall guy. But in the final judgment of the Supreme Court, the shocking thing is that, you know, it said quite clearly that "We have no direct evidence to say he belongs to a terrorist group; the evidence can only be circumstantial." But then the judgment goes on to say that "But in order to satisfy the collective conscience of society, we're sentencing him to death." And then, in some strange way, you know, like the Nazis used to document the things they did, the court very meticulously documents how the evidence doesn't stand up, how the confession cannot be considered a legal piece of evidence, the custodial confession and so on. And yet, they decided to hang him.
And then, the man was in solitary confinement for almost 12 years. And last month, when a case was pending in court asking that people who had already spent 12 years in solitary confinement perhaps have their death sentences mutated, before the court could come out with its judgment, the government just hanged him, because elections are coming and because the Congress government is trying to show, like the Democrats here, that they are harder than the hard right, because they know that, you know, the Indian economy is also sort of frozen in time, the middle class is at the gates. So, the political parties are trying to get back into a situation where they could have a little war, they can kick Kashmir around, they can polarize Hindus and Muslims. They know that when U.S. leaves Afghanistan, the whole politics of the region is going to change, and everyone is sort of gearing up for how to position themselves. And Afzal was just thrown like a piece of meat to the gladiators.
So, it's going to have very serious repercussions. Pakistan—the Pakistan government passed this rather stupid, stupidly worded resolution calling him a freedom fighter, when he wasn't. He was just an innocent man, really, at least innocent of the crimes he was accused of, being hanged. But Pakistan is trying to use him. India is condemning Pakistan. Both sides are saying there can be a fight to the finish. These are both nuclear-armed states. Of course, Europe and the United States would be happy, because they'll again sell weapons to both sides. The situation is extremely difficult, and this hanging is going to have very, very, very serious consequences.
AMY GOODMAN: A curfew was declared in all 10 districts of the Kashmir Valley after his execution. Cable [television] and mobile Internet services were shut down in most parts of the region, most local papers not available Sunday. Greater Kashmir, an English-language newspaper, said on its website police went to the printing presses of most local newspapers and asked managers not to publish Sunday's edition. Showkat Ahmed Motta, the editor of another English daily, Kashmir Reader, said that his paper published Sunday's edition, but that police seized the copies. Sanjay, you have written this book, Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir. Why now? And talk about how this latest—what has taken place, the hanging of Afzal Guru—fits into the struggle of the people of Kashmir.
SANJAY KAK: Amy, the trouble is that this is basically the ground reality of Kashmir, which is that periodic upsurges, the crackdown on newspapers, the shutting down of Internet and mobile services, this happens through the year. What happens is there is consistently an attempt to paper it over with what they call normality, which in the case of Kashmir is really sort of measured up by how many tourists arrive in Kashmir. And this year, the claim is that more than a million tourists came to Kashmir, so everything is normal. But actually, the ground reality remains unchanged. And Until My Freedom Has Come documents or, you know, tries to illuminate perhaps what happened in 2010 and 2009 and 2008. But it's not as if the struggle on the ground or the resistance to this occupation has ever dissipated. So it happened in 2011 and in 2012. It's just that the level of police and state security pressure on the people is so enormous that people just are forced to lie low 'til the pressure becomes intolerable or an incident like the hanging of Afzal Guru comes up, because, in a sense, many, many more young people are killed in utterly reprehensible ways every month and every year in Kashmir. But in the case of Afzal Guru, he's an innocent man who became symbolic of the complete travesty of justice.
So, anything can be a trigger, any injustice. It can be a small one, it can be a large one. Sometimes it's the rape and murder of two young women in a small town outside of Srinagar. Sometimes it can be a 13-year-old schoolboy coming home from his maths tution, who's hit on the head with a tear-gas shell and he dies. So, we are looking at a situation which is really a tinderbox, and therefore anything can provoke it. And then, everything that you listed, the kind of—kinds of complete curbing of civil liberties and the control on the media, this is a continuous and continuing process in Kashmir. There's nothing—unfortunately, for us, for all of us, there's nothing new to report. It's been going on.
ARUNDHATI ROY: Amy, can I just say something?
AMY GOODMAN: Yes, Arundhati Roy.
ARUNDHATI ROY: Yeah, I just want to say—I mean, for an international audience—that the fact is that, you know, the Kashmir issue, which is not an issue—it's the military occupation of a people. But really, the trouble in Kashmir is seen as not a problem, but as a solution to the problems by both India and by Pakistan. And the reason that it's important for the world to look at this issue is that there are two nuclear powers on either side, both of them becoming increasingly radicalized, increasingly out of control. India may sound as if it's in control, but it's not. If anyone on the ground sees what's happening, India too is becoming increasingly militarized, not in Kashmir, outside of Kashmir. The army is going to be deployed in all kinds of places in India. So the international community needs to look at Kashmir, because it could be the buffer, the zone of peace, between these two very belligerent powers, or it could be the cause of nuclear war. So, this is why it is—it is something where, both in India and in Pakistan, there's this maddened rhetoric by people who actually profit from it. So, this is something which isn't just a small, forgotten place that nobody needs to take very seriously. It's really becoming a very serious problem connected to the withdrawal of the U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2014, and the whole region is going to be on the boil.
AMY GOODMAN: Sanjay Kak, you write in your book, "Today the Kashmir Valley has the highest concentration of soldiers in the world—more than Afghanistan, [more than] Iraq or Burma." I remember seeing President Obama interviewed before he became president.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: The most important thing we're going to have to do with respect to Afghanistan is actually deal with Pakistan. And we've got to work with the newly elected government there in a coherent way that says terrorism is now a threat to you, extremism is a threat to you. We should probably try to facilitate a better understanding between Pakistan and India, and try to resolve the Kashmir crisis, so that they can stay focused not on India, but on—on the situation with those militants.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Senator Obama, or presidential aspirant Obama, you know, not talking about every country in the world in this interview, but talking about Kashmir. Sanjay Kak?
SANJAY KAK: You know, and I do remember that when he made—President Obama—or the presidential candidate Obama made that statement, it was received with a great deal of excitement in Kashmir. And I think some of us who are a little more cynical about it would have liked to have reminded people in Kashmir that this was entirely tactical and strategic. And, of course, from the very moment that he was elected, that same—the complete silence on Kashmir descended once again on the U.S. administration—and even the U.S. media. I mean, you know, if you—if actually you were to analyze coverage of Kashmir in the U.S. media—and I'm talking about the mainstream U.S. media, such as The New York Times and the establishment media—it completely mimics the sort of cynical and—the usage of the Kashmir issue when it's needed to leverage something with India, and the moment India begins to fit into, say, the U.S. plans for Afghanistan or vis-à-vis Pakistan, then so Kashmir is used as a pawn, you know, something like a commodity on the stock market, in order to get a better deal. But, unfortunately, there isn't an ethical or a moral position, or even an attempt to understand what it is that is going on there and what is it that the people of Kashmir are talking about. And so, by and large, the official American response has been to continue to see it as a dispute between India and Pakistan, which completely invisibilizes the people of Kashmir. And the kind of book that I've put together, the anthology, tries to make visible the quite coherent and, I should say, morally and ethically and intellectually argued positions from which Kashmiris are making a stake for freedom.
AMY GOODMAN: Sanjay, what would be the—
ARUNDHATI ROY: When President Obama came to—
AMY GOODMAN: Oh, go ahead, Arundhati.
ARUNDHATI ROY: President Obama came to India—I was saying, after he became president, President Obama came to India to try and make a Boeing deal, and kept extremely quiet about Kashmir. So you know where the bargaining happens.
AMY GOODMAN: What would be the impact on Kashmir of U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan, though we're not seeing that in the near future, all troops leaving, to say the least, but in 2014, the troops that President Obama is talking about removing, Sanjay?
SANJAY KAK: I think it will have a very, very serious impact. I think that the region is going to see very, very serious tremors coming out of Afghanistan. And for people in Kashmir, who historically and culturally sit on this bridge between India and then Pakistan and Afghanistan, we are going to see a very—it's very, very probable that the kind of armed conflict that—you know, the bloodying of the streets, which had sort of been—seen some respite, I think we might see a ratcheting up of that. I think that the—with the American troops withdrawing from Pakistan, there is going to be a floating population of armed men, who have traditionally been, you know, deployed wherever their handlers found most profit.
And I think that people in Kashmir are extremely worried because 2014, when the troops, U.S. troops, are meant to withdraw from Afghanistan, is also an election year in India. And you can—and Arundhati has already talked about it—the cynical use to which the Kashmir issue can be put to in an election in India are very, very enormous. I mean, it's not just the right-wing BJP, but the more centrist Congress Party, which would—could not—would not be averse to using the trouble in Kashmir once more in order to kind of solidify a national consensus. So I think that all of us who stare at Kashmir and stare at it all the time are extremely anxious about what 2014 will bring to the valley and to the subcontinent in general.
AMY GOODMAN: Sanjay Kak, Arundhati Roy, what do you think actually needs to happen right now to resolve the Kashmir issue?
ARUNDHATI ROY: Well, I think, first of all, truth needs to be told. You know, one of the greatest successes of India's position in Kashmir, it has managed to obscure what's really going on—as I said, you know, the numbers of disappeared, the mass graves that have been found, the military occupation, what it means to live like that, the fact that—you know, the tens of thousands of dead already. Once the truth is put on the table.
And the other thing is that there really needs to be a situation where there is a withdrawal of India's military presence there, so that people can at least think about what they would like to see. I mean, I think it could be a wonderful opportunity, not just politically or geopolitically, but for the whole world, to rethink a way of configuring societies, of configuring the idea of the nation state, of configuring what it means just to save ourselves from the horrors that come out of this kind of way of thinking. Kashmir could be an—even intellectually, a very exciting place for all of us to think about how it could be worked out.
But first of all, Kashmiris need to be given a voice, and they cannot be given a voice unless they are not being jailed or tortured or killed. And the only people who are allowed to speak for Kashmiris are people who the Indian government allows. You know, even people who are seemingly dissenting are people who the Indian government allows. Anyone who's really a serious threat is in jail.
SANJAY KAK: The other thing, Amy, is that—
AMY GOODMAN: Sanjay Kak, would you like to continue this point?
SANJAY KAK: Yes. You know, I think the other thing is that, because of the huge sort of blanket of silence around Kashmir, what you hear most often is that, you know, it's not clear what Kashmiris want, you know? Do they want to be absorbed into Pakistan? Do they want an independent country? What do they want? I mean, in India, this is a question that is always thrown at anybody who speaks about Kashmiris: What do Kashmiris want?
And the fact of the matter is that with the complete absence of all democratic rights—I mean, the fact that elections are held, the fact that there is an elected government, cannot be confused anymore with the existence of democracy. So, what we are seeing is a space in which the intense militarization is accompanied by such an abrogation of all democratic rights that I think those of us who look at it from the outside do not have the right to say that, "Oh, we don't understand what the Kashmiris are saying," because you can't hear what the Kashmiris are saying because their mouths are gagged, you know? There is no democracy there.
So I think that, you know, to break the silence on Kashmir and to make the space in which we begin to hear what people there are saying, then I think we'll all be very surprised by the possibilities that might emerge. You know, Arundhati just spoke about the possible utopian space that Kashmir could be, and it can. You know, here is a tiny, little place which sits at the trijunction of these, you know, three great civilizational impulses. You know, there is sort of Buddhism to its east; there's Islam to its west; there's Hindu India, in some senses, to its south. And this buffer could actually be a place of great hope, you know? And that—such a place is desperately needed in South Asia right now. But instead, everybody is being boxed into these narrow categories of will it have its own navy, and, you know, where do they have a port, and so on. So there's a—I think that someone like myself is very interested, both politically and intellectually, in seeing just how idealistic we can be about what possibilities Kashmir holds, and not be bogged down by pragmatism, which—you know, which is a stunting of our imaginations. I mean, I think that we have to wrest the Kashmir issue away from the pragmatists and begin to think of it as an ideal space. And I think that Kashmir has all the possibilities for that.
AMY GOODMAN: Before we wrap up, I wanted to ask you, Arundhati Roy, about drones. The U.N. special rapporteur on counterterrorism and human rights, Ben Emmerson, issued a statement Friday saying the U.S. drone campaign ""involves the use of force on the territory of another state without its consent, and is therefore a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty." From 10 years ago, the U.S. invasion of Iraq under President Bush to the drone strikes of today under President Obama, your thoughts?
ARUNDHATI ROY: I think that what we are seeing is the tearing apart of Pakistan because of the drone attacks, you know, not just because of the people that are being killed, but because it's obviously creating a radicalization of people. And then the Taliban, who is a reprehensible force, you know—I mean, none of us can remotely support the ideas or the beliefs of the Taliban—are pushed into a position where they are the only people who are resisting this occupation. So then the elites of Pakistan, many who support the drone attacks because they fear the coming of the Taliban, and yet the drone attacks are creating more and more Taliban. Then the U.S. is saying, "Should we have good Taliban or bad Taliban?" Meanwhile, the Pakistan army is being torn apart. And Pakistan, you know, has been in such a difficult position for so many years. I remember when 9/11 happened. The first essay I wrote, I said there will be a civil war in Pakistan, because they are being asked to garrote the pet that they reared in their own backyard. So, the drone attacks, I think, would be—it's very, very important to stop those drone attacks.
And unfortunately, what we are seeing is that even countries like India are considering using unmanned vehicles in wars in central India against their own poor. We're going to see a breakdown of every kind of order with this new kind of war, you know, where really what is happening, the numbers of people that are being killed, the numbers of countries that are being pushed into chaos—you know, on whose account is the chaos that's caused? Not just the deaths, but everything, as I said, in Libya, in Iraq, in Syria. What are these kinds of attacks doing to the world? You know, almost—it's almost more frightening than nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are not being used. But this kind of targeting is going to destroy the world as we knew it to be, in completely new ways.
AMY GOODMAN: As you point out—this is from The Times of India in February: "With an eye on both the western and eastern fronts with Pakistan and China, the Indian armed forces are slowly but steadily building a formidable arsenal of spy, target acquisition and 'killer' drones or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)." Final comment, Arundhati?
ARUNDHATI ROY: And I think that, you know, even looking at the economy, America has sort of outsourced its manufacture of everything to China and to other countries, but it continues to manufacture weapons. And in order to keep its economy going, it needs to sell these weapons. And in order to sell these weapons, it needs to create instability, it needs to create a warlike situation. So, in India, for example, you have a situation where we know that there are people who are analysts and strategic analysts working in foundations and in the media, who are talking up war, who are talking up the buying of these weapons.
AMY GOODMAN: Arundhati Roy and Sanjay Kak, I want to thank you both for being with us. Arundhati Roy, the great writer from India, renowned global justice activist, among her books, The God of Small Things, which won the Booker Prize.

Older pupils are always keen to visit the Junior School to work with the younger pupils; listening to readers, as part of their Duke of Edinburgh service; enjoying work experience in anticipation of a career in teaching or helping with sporting clubs and activities. Actors and musicians take any opportunity to perform for younger pupils and our most capable Junior School musicians have taken the opportunity to play with the concert band and perform at Senior School events.
It is important to us that pupils and their parents see the move to the Senior School as a seamless transition. Towards the start of Year 6 pupils enjoy a taster day where they become a Year 7 pupil for the day, this is followed by further opportunities to visit the Senior School for lessons and meet with Year 7 tutors.
Although our Year 6 students are not required to sit the Entrance Examination, many of our Year 6 pupils achieve academic, music and sport scholarships at AKS each year. Our pupils graduate from the Junior School having had the very best of foundations. They are confident in their own ability and excited to be part of Senior School life.

Bracing, Making Floor,
and Stiffening the Boat
- PART 1: The boat and making a model What am I building?
- PART 2: Transfering the design Onto the Coroplast
- PART 3: Folding the coroplast sheet
- This Page is PART 4: Bracing, Making Floor, and Stiffening the Boat
- PART 5: Finishing and Launching
After marking and folding the plastic sheet and checking that everything will fold up tidily, I'm now ready to add some structure. The designer has chosen to do this by adding thwarts, a floor and some bracing.
There are 2 thwarts which get bolted in when the boat is to be used. They are not the same length, the bow thwart is narrower than the stern. Here I have taped them in to check that they fit. Ken Simpson suggests 1x2 but I was cutting down a 2x4 so my thwarts are slightly thicker and not so wide.
Seen from the back the bow is narrower than the stern. The floor gets a plywood piece to help reinforce it.
Ken Simpson suggests 3/8 thick but I have a sheet 1/4 that I will try. It's not perfect but I have it and I want to use it. I think I can add a small reinforcing lath along the length to help strengthen it. (Note: 1/4 was not thick enough particularly since it was not a high quality ply in the first place. Use 3/8 if you can.)
I boiled a sample of the plywood to check for water damage and it has survived with no problems.
Close up of the T nut used to attach the thwart to the boat. The thwart gets a hole and the t-nut is tapped in. I've covered everything in epoxy. I'm using cheap 5 minute epoxy from the dollar store.
This allows the bolt to be tightened into end grain and removed countless times.
Plastic electrical conduit is used to brace the side edge. I had a dowel which works very well to reinforce the ends where the conduit gets drilled though and bolted onto the end of the thwarts and through the hull. The dowel keeps the conduit from being crushed when the nut is tightened. I expect that since it is plugged at both ends it will float too.
On the Boat that Ken Built you can clearly see the conduit along about 4 feet on the side of the boat. Without some stiffening the sides would be too floppy.
I think wood slats could be used instead of conduit.
4 handles are made of wood with an indentation drilled in. The bolt gets epoxied into the handle and this makes it easier to turn. The photo on the right is the bolt attached to its handle screwed into the end of the thwart. This will hold the reinforcing conduit attached to the boat and also bolt the thwart in place.
All the woodden parts will be painted and sealed.
A quarter sheet of plywood gets sanded and corners rounded. This will be the floor. Since I am using a quarter inch thick plastic sheet it is not very rigid and cannot support a person without buckling. The plywood distributes the weight on the whole boat floor. This is good quality ply with 5 plies and it is quite stiff. I will have to be careful when I step in not to damage it.
When the boat is folded, the plywood floor fits inside the folded sides. The folded boat is 2 feet x 4 and about 4 inches thick.
After starting to tape the various parts together I tested the fold to make sure it went down as flat as possible. It's almost miraculous to see the boat fold up flat.
Several strips of thin wood add some stiffness to the bow and transom. They are thin strips of the same 2x4 I cut to make the thwarts. Everything gets a coat of varnish then the strips get taped in the seams. I added a bit of PL premium. I know it is not a great glue for coroplast but I would be satisfied with a weak bond supplemented with the tape. The strips are thinner than 1/4 inch and weight very little.
I drilled the side supports made from conduit and screwed then on using the bolts with handles prepared earlier. The boat goes together well but is a bit floppy yet. At this point If I place the floor in the bottom I would not have any trouble floating and paddling around. It's still way too cold to try though!
Only one more piece needs to be added. There are little pieces of coroplast that get attached to the thwart and help keep the sides from moving. This is next. Ken Simpson showed his boat with attractive cloth cowlings fore and aft and I might put this together as well.

Diversity and having a better understanding of the different beliefs that surround us was the focus of Western School Division's (WSD) Diversity Day Wednesday.
The division had brought in guest speaker, Shahina Siddiqui, who is the President of the Islamic Social Services Association based in Winnipeg. Siddiqui felt the entire day was a success, with lots of people asking questions regarding the Muslim faith to help clarify some misconceptions.
Board Chair Brian Fransen said as communities are becoming more diverse, it's important to have a good understanding of different beliefs that are in the world.
"There are a lot of people in the area that are familiar with some religion, but not all religion," said Fransen. "There is a lot of important things going on in the world, and to have a good understanding of religion in the world is important."
The day was filled with workshops and seminars for divisional staff during the day and a public discussion with Siddiqui was held in the evening.
"There is so much misinformation about Islam and Muslims. There is so much Islamophobia out there which is spreading lies and is manufacturing stuff about Islam and Muslims," said Siddiqui.
She said with all of these things circulating, many people aren't sure where they can go to verify which information is correct. She added education is important to counter anti-Muslim rhetoric.
According to Siddiqui, there are three common misconceptions she hears. The first is the oppression of the of Muslim women, secondly that Islam and violence are synonymous, and that Muslims do not have relationships with other faiths.
Siddiqui said her faith tells her to get to know one another and make your life interesting.
"Imagine a room full of Jews, Christians, and Muslims praying together for world peace. That's powerful," said Siddiqui.

Night Must Fall - Review
NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association)Review by Hazel Hole
Title: Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams
A warm welcome was received from the front of house team, led by Manager Margaret Coleman. I had a detailed discussion with Director, Simon Reader, before the show started and also met the Chairman, Graham Green and the cast at the end of the performance.
The play was a psychological thriller written by Emlyn Williams in 1935 and the action took place in the sitting room of Mrs Bramsons bungalow. The set, designed by Simon Reader, was simple and erected on the floor of the hall (as there is no stage) and was entirely appropriate to the period. Blackouts on the set signalled changes in scene. There were few props and limited effects. However, the dust on the books was realistic !
The play was well cast and the 8 actors worked very hard in the interpretation of their roles. The prompt was redundant as everyone was word perfect !
Linda Potter played a very convincing role as the demanding, moaning and petulant semi invalid aunt, Mrs Bramson with her niece, Olivia Grayne, obliged by poverty to care for her.
Gemma Quinn played Olivia with skill, not being convinced by Dan and increasingly suspicious of his motives and actions. Dan was the bellboy from the local hotel who gradually became a key member of the household. Lewis Rodger developed this role really well moving from charming young man to controlling Mrs Bransom.
Jane Dunbar as the bossy housekeeper Mrs Terence played a strong role as did Katherine Johnson as the delightful and somewhat naive maid, Dora Parkoe, who was pregnant by Dan. Great hair designs for both these characters ( Graham Green ) Richard Kemp-Luck was a suitably distracted, rather bumbling and absent minded Hubert Laurie who was always keen to avoid any trouble and confrontation.
Rob Porter playing Inspector Belsize needed to be more decisive and challenging in the role as befits a police inspector. Nurse Libby, played by Sara Talbot-Ashby was a small part, well performed.
There were no obvious microphones and most of the cast projected their voices well and clearly. It was difficult on occasions to catch all the dialogue by Inspector Belsize and Nurse Libby, especially when they were not facing the audience.
Stage Manager, Angie Reader managed the limited changes well. Costumes and makeup suitably reflected the period, thanks to Chrissie Donegan, Maree Noons and Megan Day. The sound effects ( radio and voice of Lord Chief Justice ) and lighting effects were well managed by Greg Potter, Chris Holman and Steve Gregory.
The loyal audience in this small venue was appreciative of this compelling production and I congratulate the Director and the group on a very polished performance which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Good luck with your next production.

Avocado is so delicious and nutritious that it is hard not to have these sitting ready for you to enjoy in your fruit basket at home. High in natural fats, proteins and potassium, it is a great way for vegetarians and vegans to include this as part of their daily healthy diet.
Here I wanted to share my delicious and decadent recipe for Avocado Chocolate Mousse. It is so fancy yet simple and will curb those chocolate cravings.
Serves 4
2 large ripe avocados
4 tbsp cocoa powder
100g dark vegan chocolate
2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
1 ripe banana
5 tbsp plant based milk (I use Soya but all types will work)
- Scoop the avocado flesh out and put in a bowl
- In a blender, add ALL ingredients except the dark chocolate pieces and blend until well combined
- Grate 1/4 of the dark chocolate and melt the rest
- In glasses or serving dishes, scoop half the mousse into them, add a drizzle of melted chocolate, top with more mousse and sprinkle some grated chocolate on top.
Wonderfully satisfying, vegan & gluten free. Enjoy!

Hi, I know there is Jenkins 2.x out for quite a while - but for "historical reasons" we still rely on the old 1.6x version in some projects.Is there a way to get the latest plugin updates for that version without downloading them manually? Most of the shown Updates depend on 2.x version, so I always have to manually upload an old version of the requested plugin, which is not very handy.Wouldn´t it make sense to have an own update-site, where the latest versions of the 1.6x release are available?Thanx for your answers, regards, Torsten

Shinybass journal entry 07-26-15
Good morning!
I'm currently enjoying the 2 cup of crafted coffee from the bus Keurig machine, and I have to say, I'm addicted to good coffee. My old soul has a hard time paying $4 for a cup of coffee with beans strained through elephant dung (It's actually like $9 a cup for that steamer), but buying in bulk and drinking it on my terms (which means all hours of the day) and not in a 'one-off' machine is my cup real cup of tea. The single serving size is for quitters. Man up and pour the big one.
But what to do once caffeinated? I hope you live. I had a great talk with a friend of mine, and he wants to know how I stay so positive all the time. I don't have a secret or a magic cup of coffee. I just look at each day as another chance; one more day to enjoy all the things of which I've been blessed. So many people don't want to get out of bed. 'I just want to sleep until noon…' Why? Do you know how big this world is, and how many opportunities await you every day?
I hear people say 'I'm not creative', 'I don't know what I want to do with my day', or 'I don't know where to start'. I'm not nudging you to write your novel or paint the Mona Lisa. I know what we need as humans is to interact, be outside, and stay in motion. Start by taking a walk. Then maybe take a walk on a trail system, maybe even one town over. A change of scenery does a lot of good. You'll have to figure out your path from there, but at least I (hopefully) got you off the couch.
Our treks are just about always an adventure, and this week was no exception. We started the week on Tuesday with a 3-song set at the Opry. For those scoring at home, I brought out the 'ragged P' bass, which gets all kinds of comments when I pull her out. She was made to look 50 years old, but it's actually a new build. The tone is pretty spectacular, but that is because of the excellent Seymour Duncan custom shop pickups. It ain't me. But I digress. The 3 songs always go too quickly, and it is always such an honor to walk the hallowed hallways of the Opry, and see that circle on stage. And for ONCE I could actually see Jake, since the house drummer had his cymbals lowered far enough.
The shiny bus rolled out for Jacksonville, NC, for a private show on a Marine base. To say that I like seeing military planes is an understatement. It's pretty badass seeing an Osprey in flight. Beastly, those 'planes' are. The stage was facing a lake, which housed a marina as well, so I had military aircraft, sailboats, and by a stroke of luck, a couple of English Mastiffs to pet, so I had a decent day. I also was able to rub elbows with comedians Tom Green and Mark Viera. Very nice gentlemen indeed. I am glad we could share the bill and play for the brave Marines that defend our freedom. Then, it was off to bed to settle in for a long ride.
The next day we had a show in Twin Lakes, WI. You read that correctly. It's only about 1100 miles away from our serene lake in North Carolina. It took a gaggle of drivers, and our trailer decided to have some bearing problems at 3AM, so we were awfully late arriving. The day waits for no one, so we unloaded, got our fancy stage duds on, and hit at 6:30. We shared the bill with Jamie Lynn Spears, The Swon Bros, Tyler Farr (no kin to Jamie), and Blake Shelton. Our crowd was incredible, but I have to single out some great fans who went through the trouble to make me feel special. Thank you, and thank you Wisconsin.
How's about we go on yet another road trip? The next few weeks are going to be crazy go nuts with shows across this great land of ours. Get out your dancing shoes and make your way out to one of our shows. I am looking forward to returning to Mississippi this week, as well as Dosey Doe's in Woodlands. Good ass coffee at that joint. (See how I went full circle there?)
Try and get out and enjoy this beautiful summer. We only get a handful of these in our lifetime, so make it count!
See you on the road!

Fine Feathers in White
Love these three together, doesn't have to be exact Stampin' Up shades either. I found three littlepearl brads, and with the magic of markers made them into the right colours! I've been wanting to use these lovely feather stamps for a while but it wasn't until a class on white heat embossing at my local craft club last week, that I think I've finally made a card that does them justice!
I masked off an area on some white card, added the green and blue with my brushes and then used the stamps with Versamark and white embossing powder. On removing the mask there was a tiny bit of 'bleeding' of the colours, but I'm happy with that - adds to the 'arty' feel of the card. The bird was stamped in Chocolate Chip and fussy cut out, but I stamped the sentiment direct onto the card. Been feeling a bit under the weather myself lately, don't know if that's what prompted me to make a get well card. I think I will enter it in the Anything Goes challenge this week at Addicted To Stamps and More,

This may be the coolest new&improved way to use a pen. Mattjis van Bergen started by drawing on canvas in order to describe the story behind the collection. However in the end, besides the pen details, there appeared pleats, bold shapes and other fine detailing. I have mixed feelings about the heart-shaped wings coming out so... straight from the shoulder. Literally.
Since these are part of the AW09 collection entitled "Blanco", I went over to the official site to find out more. This is a collage made by me to give you a taste of what's going on in there. Turns out that the pleated metal details are handcrafted by Mattjis van Bergen's mother, which is a pretty cool personal touch. Did you hear about anything like this before? I wish there were some closeups too because the pieces remind me of antique decorations for some reason, and I would have loved to check them out in a larger view...
photo credits: Mattijs van Bergen
Anyway, I would be totally grateful if more fashion designers/brands would show a bit more attention to how people could help building their brand by making photos actually available. I have stated it on other occasions, so this may be getting repetitive, but even so. I mean, why leave as the only option available screen captures? This don't do any good neither to promoting yourself or the brand. Some sites have carefully put up section with lots of press releases and higher definition photos, so the visitors can actually see&appreciate the products... Kudos to that.
Sweet treats,

ABAKALIKI—EBONYI State government said it has started the information catching and enlistment of Ebonyi adolescents over the 13 neighborhood government zones of the express that were misdirected amid the fomentation by Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
This came as Directorate of States, DOS, of IPOB blamed previous Governor for Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, of disrupting the fomentation for the rebuilding of Biafra, encouraging him to reevaluate in light of the fact that the individuals who have assumed comparable parts against IPOB in the past thought twice about it.
In a related improvement, Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday, depicted a few legal advisors that challenged Biafra fomentation as "charge and safeguard legal counselors."
The state Commissioner for Economic Empowerment and Job Creation, Uchenna Orji, expressed this in Abakaliki while preparation newsmen on the exercises of the present organization in the range of youth strengthening.
He said the present organization, aside from seeking after the activity design of making the IPOB individuals monetarily autonomous, the activity would likewise help in decreasing social indecencies and different types of guiltiness as of now tormenting the general public.
The chief, who said the state government had stretched out its strengthening plans to Ebonyi adolescents in different conditions of the organization, including Sokoto, Kaduna, Anambra and Lagos, included that more than 3000 young people had so far been enabled in the state.
He stated: "The IPOB adolescents are being enlisted in the Department of Education and Social Welfare in the LGAs. After their catching, the state government will make a program to prepare and enable them in their picked profession ."
In an announcement from IPOB's Directorate Of State, marked by Chinasa Nworu, the gathering asserted that Chief Kalu had shown time without number and made a decent attempt and neglected to prompt its pioneer, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, with billions of naira fix for him to discard the Biafra battle.
IPOB charged that the previous "representative was disillusioned by our pioneer's uncompromising stance and he now chose to vent his dissatisfaction by asserting to know how Mazi Nnamdi Kanu created wings and flew out of Biafraland to London by means of Malaysia.
"The point here is how might it be? Surprisingly, it is Orji Kalu that reported to the entire world the escape course of a man he guaranteed is his sibling. It isn't astonishing on the grounds that he is making a decent attempt to awe his slave bosses and conceal the whereabouts of our pioneer who is absent after the military attacked his home in Afaraukwu in Umuahia.
"He has persistently shared in the scheme demonstration to decimate his kin only for his own particular narrow minded additions, notwithstanding when he has been hustling to be significant with Biafra battle, yet we never permitted him since we as a whole know he is an operator of the Hausa-Fulani and the British government."
MASSOB in a response additionally criticized Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, VON, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, for tossing punches at the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo.
A gathering, League of African Democratic Lawyers, drove by one John Oboh, had dissented at the American Embassy in Nigeria over the rising tumult for Biafra.
Yet, MASSOB in a response to the dissent said it was a faceless gathering who through their activities gave themselves out as "only charge and safeguard legal advisors who don't have the foggiest idea about the significance of vote based system.
"By what means can qualified and all around prepared attorneys challenge a self-assurance gathering. Will these legal counselors characterize the significance of vote based system? It is a pity that these alleged attorneys were paid by the Federal Government to challenge," Samuel Edeson, MASSOB representative said.
The gathering demanded that if the counter Biafra dissenters were truly bustling legal advisors, they would not have had time for such act.
MASSOB likewise censured assault on President - General of Ohanaeze, Chief Nwodo by VON manager, Mr. Osita Okechukwu.
MASSOB said it won't sit and watch individuals like Osita Okechukwu affront Igbo pioneers.
The gathering stated: "Mr Okechukwu who likes to be a hireling ought to simply ahead and serve Buhari and his APC. An eager man and a slave will dependably do what his lord requests that he do.
"We, Ndigbo realize that Osita Okechukwu is only a manikin whom President Buhari needs to use to separate Ndigbo yet it can't work. Several Osita Okechukwus are no match for one Nnia Nwodo."
Consult with IPOB to turn away bedlam, Yoruba aggregate prompts FG
Interim, a Pan-Yoruba socio-political gathering, Atayese, has advised the Federal Government on the treatment of IPOB emergency, asking that transaction ought to be grasped to turn away a confused circumstance in the eastern piece of the nation.
Atayese, in the announcement made accessible to Vanguard, yesterday, by its national administrator, Chief Tokunbo Ajasin, said the calls for rebuilding are exceptionally vital at this stage and was glad that the APC, responsible for the Federal Government, has effectively made the correct stride by establishing an open hearing for introduction of memoranda to its board of trustees on genuine federalism.
He, notwithstanding, cautioned that this issue ought not be dealt with as a simple diversion, but rather a solid move towards the satisfaction of the gathering's proclamation.
He similarly instructed individuals regarding the IPOB to take after protected intends to accomplish their objectives, including that the fierce advances being utilized would make their tumults less successful in light of the fact that they would lose the sensitivity of the general population as well as they would play under the control of government may.

C/4066 Rifleman Percy William Spreadborough 17th Battalion, The King's Royal Rifle Corps.
Percy was born on 25 January 1894 in Islington. By 1901 the family had moved to Walthamstow and from 1902-1908, Percy attended Blackhorse Road Boys' Elementary School.
He went to work as an office boy with a bookseller but left and by 1 July 1915, when he enlisted, he was working as a fitter's mate.
The 17th Battalion, The King's Royal Rifle Corps was sent to France on 8 March 1916.
On 6 June, Percy suffered a self inflicted wound to his forehead when another soldier's rifle caught in his kit as Percy was attempting to shoot down a pigeon coming from the German lines. It was reported but no further action was taken.
By the end of August 1916 The King's Royal Rifle Corps had arrived near Bouquemaison, moving on to Authie on the 25th and Bertrancourt on the 28th as they took over the Hamel Sector. Percy is likely to have been in the attack on 3 September when all the officers of The King's Royal Rifle Corps were either wounded or killed during the 'Ancre Operations'. The rest of September was spent out of the line, though in the area, until in early October, from the 9th he would have been involved in attacks with the 16th Sherwood Foresters on the formidable Schwaben Redoubt. Though relieved on the 16th Percy would have been back in the front line by 21 October as part of II Corps.
At 5.00am the Germans counter-attacked in two places on the Schwaben Redoubt. The 17th King's Royal Rifle Corps and part of the 14th Hampshire's drove them out with bombs. Battalion HQ moved from Bulgar Trench to Martin's Lane. According to the War Diary, "heavy hostile shelling kept up throughout the day, but no further attempt was made to attack the enemy. Casualties 2/Lieut. A W Scott wounded, other ranks 5 killed, 36 wounded, 8 missing and 6 wounded 'shell shock'." It can be assumed that Percy was one of those missing, later reported as having died on this day.
As his body was never recovered, Percy Spreadborough is commemorated on The Thiepval Memorial to the missing.
22 October 1916 killed in action.
