A result of this “parting of ways” was the Central Asian Revolt in 1916, an uprising against Russian imperial rule in which Kazaks responded violently to peasant resettlement and conscription into the imperial army. “Both of these were symptoms of the tsarist state’s failure to continue engaging with local intermediari... |
While colonial relations between Russians and nomads on the steppe differed from other European colonial regimes in many important ways, Campbell’s study is insightful for anyone interested in imperial history and the relations between the colonizer and the colonized. Russia’s dependence on the knowledge of Kazak inter... |
Much of the research for this project was conducted in the city of Almaty, at the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as at the Russian State Historical Archive in St. Petersburg and the Russian State Military-Historical Archive in Moscow. Language training, Campbell explained, has been essenti... |
It is all too tempting for researchers to choose subjects with abundant, easily accessible sources, or to write the history of an empire without critically examining those living under the weight of imperial authority. Yet Knowledge and the Ends of Empire offers a testament to the insights that can be gained from recon... |

"I write mobile phone apps and there has been no better way to communicate to the world that one of my apps is alive than prMac's excellent press release service. The service is fast, website-automated, human-reviewed and a pleasure to use during the chaos that usually revolves around product roll-out. But don't believ... |
"After releasing my first iPhone game, I realised that I hadn't planned any marketing strategy. After looking around the internet for tips on how to successfully promote a new app, I found a forum which mentioned prMac and was very complimentary.

Harpur’s Ferry, the student-operated volunteer ambulance service, has been a prominent part of the Binghamton University campus since it was established in the 1970s. On Monday, the organization announced an initiative to train students and faculty to act effectively in emergency situations. |
Stop the Bleed is a national campaign, and BU’s version will be funded by a $25,000 grant secured by state Sen. Fred Akshar. It includes 160 hemorrhage-stopping kits in central locations across campus, including one next to all automated external defibrillators. In the next few weeks, Harpur’s Ferry will begin running ... |
Akshar said he was inspired by Harpur’s Ferry after being introduced to the service last year, and agreeing to sponsor the campaign was very easy for him. |
The campaign emphasizes the “ABCs of bleeding control” — A: alert, B: locate bleeding and C: compress. When Stop the Bleed kits are available, trainees will use a sterile gauze pad; if the victim continues to bleed, the bystander must use a tourniquet to stop circulation in the wounded limb. Students will learn how to ... |
Adam Fox, ‘92, is an assistant professor of surgery and section chief of trauma surgery at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and a former Harpur’s Ferry volunteer. He’s helped the organization reach out to the state and partner organizations to secure funding for the campaign. |
Blake Topper, the operations director for Harpur’s Ferry and a senior majoring in integrative neuroscience, said Harpur’s Ferry’s former chief and executive director, Meir Berkman, ‘16, paved the way for the program by building a closer relationship with Akshar, the University and Fox. According to Topper, Stop the Ble... |
“There’s always more work to go, there’s always going to be things that we can work on to better it, but I think Stop the Bleed … especially now, is the next big step for getting bystanders ready and prepared in order to handle a lifesaving situation,” Topper said. |
Two television stations have recently reported the fact that the village of Whalley has been included in the list of best places to live in the country. |
Both stations showed a picture of the River Calder and the weir. The river is cleaner now than it has been for 200 years and the fish life has been enhanced by including a fish ladder in the recently completed Hydro Project. It is a pity though that many villagers don’t have access to enjoy the river. The Village Plan ... |
This would only be small compared with the facilities at Edisford for Clitheroe people, but neither Lancashire County Council nor Ribble Valley Borough Council wanted to know. In fact it is difficult to think of any leisure or sports facility in Whalley provided by either authority. |
The police home guard had seen the woman sitting near a tea stall for three days. |
Few things can brighten up yet another boring Monday and this picture posted on Twitter is easily one of those. It shows a traffic policeman's kind gesture towards a homeless woman and has many on Twitter praising him for it. Posted on Twitter on April 1, the photo has collected almost 600 'likes' and more than 270 ret... |
"This gesture of Kukatpally traffic PS Home Guard B.Gopal (1275) towards a homeless woman by feeding her at JNTU shakes the heart," says the tweet posted by Harsha Bhargavi, the Chief Public Relations Officer to the Director General of Police, Telangana. |
The police home guard had seen the woman sitting near a tea stall for three days. After finding out that her sons had abandoned her, he couldn't help but bring her some food to eat, reports Telangana Today. |
"I offered her a cup of tea and then bought lunch for her. But she was unable to even eat with her own hands, so I fed her," he told The Hindu. |
The woman has now been shifted to an old age home. |
The home guard's kind gesture has won him a lot of praise on Twitter. |
Good Job keep it up. |
#Respect ...Salute Sir..Keep it up..!!! |
According to Telangana Today, Telangana Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy and Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar called Home Guard B Gopal to express their appreciation for his kind act. |
In one of the rolling hills above Winchester, England, is a decommissioned nuclear bunker that houses Symantec's U.K. |
The Winchester team analyses some 1.5 billion lines of code per day, said Jeff Ogden, Symantec's director of managed security services for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "We spend our lives gathering and analysing information and intelligence," he said. "This is an enormous amount of information, and we're trying ... |
Even the atmosphere inside is highly managed. It is pressurised to 1.5 pounds per square inch greater than outside air pressure, so air is constantly being forced out--handy if someone decides to drop an atomic bomb in the vicinity. In the event of a nuclear attack, the air can be filtered through charcoal, and there a... |
The bunker has features like a security alarm--two strips of black plastic with glowing red insides--that's activated if any unauthorised visitor steps inside the glassed-off internal perimeter, where the analysts work away. Get too close to the alarm and it bleeps and registers an intruder. |
If anyone gets past that, there's one last line of defence to deal with. "That's when I appear with a baseball bat," said Gordon May, Symantec's facilities manager. |
Once the data has been collected, it is sent to Symantec where it is analysed and, if there is any danger of attack, a report is speedily sent to the client. "If the situation is critical or an emergency, we pick the phone up and say to the customer 'You could be under attack,'" Ogden said. |
We profile the threat by finding out where it's being launched from, who it's being aimed at and what it's trying to achieve," Ogden said. |
The Security Operations Center's Winchester facility is part of Symantec's global network of information monitoring stations. Customer data is monitored in five centres. The other four are located in Sydney, Australia; Munich, Germany; Alexandria, Va.; and San Antonio. |
The security operation centres work closely with Symantec's seven security response centers, located around the globe, in locations including the U.S., Canada, Ireland, Japan and Australia. Where the primary role of the operations center is to identify attacks against customers, the response centers work on a higher le... |
There is a particular danger for businesses using the same network as a compromised machine, because once one machine has been infected behind the firewall, hackers can use it to infect others. "If attackers manage to infect a machine within an organisation, they can profile additional machines within that subnet. Exec... |
ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: It is. The big thing we are waiting for, Miguel, as we waited for, that is something that almost never happens in this country, going to be a major question in Baltimore. |
Thanks For joining us. Our breaking news coverage continues with Anderson. |
[20:00:13] ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Erin, thanks very much. Good evening, everyone. |
A week after anger boiled over in Baltimore, there is celebration if you just saw tonight, in the streets. People marching as they have all week. Thousands, we are told, heading to western district police station marching but in a very different spirit than we've seen before, savoring, and to many, an unexpected victor... |
As you might imagine, others see what happened today with a different mix of thoughts and feelings now that six members of the Baltimore police department, as you see them there, have been charged with felonies, three with manslaughter and one with manslaughter and second-degree murder in the death of Freddie Gray. |
The 35-year-old state's attorney who brought the charges herself, the daughter of two police officers is in the spotlight tonight. She is also on the spot accused by police supporters and surrogates of rushing to justice and have -- having a conflict of interest. She, of course, disagrees and seems tightly focus on som... |
When asked today how she plans to deliver accountability, Miss Mosby had a blunt forward answer, you are getting it today, she said. Tonight, as we look at the charges she brought, we'll keeping an eye, one eye, on the courtroom and the facts of the case and another on the bigger picture in Baltimore and beyond. |
I want to begin with our Jason Carroll who is on the streets of Baltimore tonight. |
Jason, a very different scene on the streets of Baltimore all throughout the day since the announcement was made today. |
JASON CARROLL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, I have to tell you, you know, several days ago it what a -- it was a much different experience than what we are experiencing out here. Right now, we got thousands of people who are weaving their way -- watch your back -- watch your back -- weaving their way through M... |
I imagine a number of people here in the crowd are going to be very happy to see the booking photos of the six officers released. It is a feeling of elation but also skepticism as some people are saying, this is just one step in the justice process --Anderson. |
COOPER: Jason, one step indeed and a step that was taken much quicker than many people imagined it would. Few people predicted, as you know, that today charges would be announced. |
I want to go to our to Miguel Marquez who is also on the move with protesters. |
Miguel, I was out by the CVS earlier today in Baltimore. There was a heavy police presence as well as National Guard presence there. While people were beginning to celebrate, I'm beginning to wondering, are there a lot of people on the streets following the protesters o is that because of the change in mood, not quite ... |
MIGUEL MARQUEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We've seen no police today. We saw some yesterday for the first time and this -- this protest is absolutely amazing. I mean, look at this, Anderson. The truck there that you see in front of you, is actually going the wrong way down MLK boulevard here. There are thousands of protesters... |
Three different protests all to Penn and north and now they are snaking their way sort of toward downtown literally taking over streets of the city. And everywhere you go -- this. The honking. Everybody showing support for this. It is a sight to see. |
One thing that everybody I have spoken to has said though, just like Jason has heard, that today is one day and it is a day for excitement, but they are waiting for the possibility of that trial, and what happens to those six officers, whether or not they actually serve any time -- Anderson. |
COOPER: And the state's attorney pointing out the investigation continues and will continue. There is still evidence still to be gathered. And Miguel Marquez, thank you. We are going to check in with you through the next two hours that we're on the air, through the 10:00 hour. |
Earlier this evening, Freddie Gray's stepfather, Richard Shipley, spoke to reports saying the family is satisfied with the charges today. |
RICHARD SHIPLEY, FREDDIE GRAY'S STEPFATHER: Whoever comes to our city, a city that we love, a city that we live in, come in peace. And if you are not coming in peace, please don't come at all. Because this city needs to get back to work. |
[20:05:06] COOPER: Reaction from the family tonight. |
Now, a quick look at how we got here. Our justice correspondent Pamela Brown has that. |
MARILYN MOSBY, BALTIMORE ATTORNEY GENERAL: We have probable cause to file criminal charges. |
PAMELA BROWN, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby not mincing words, saying even before police officers placed Freddie Gray inside the police van, he never should have been arrested. |
MOSBY: No crime had been committed by Mr. Gray. |
BROWN: Gray was found carrying a knife but the prosecutor said it was legal. |
MOSBY: Mr. Gray was placed in a prone position with his arms handcuffed behind his back. It was this time that Mr. Gray indicated that he could not breathe and requested an inhaler to no avail. |
BROWN: Mosby said not only did the officers not fail to get Gray medical help, they made another grave mistake when they put him into this police van. |
MOSBY: At no point was he secured by a seat belt while in the wagon, contrary to a BPD general order. |
BROWN: The van drove away from the sea (ph). And while the exact route is unknown, it made the first stop here where officers took Gray out of the van to put shackles on his legs and flex cuffs on his wrists. |
MOSBY: Officer Miller, Officer Nero and Lieutenant Rice then loaded Mr. Gray back into the wagon, placing him on his stomach head first on the to the floor of the wagon. Once again, Mr. Gray was not secured by his seat belt into the wagon. |
BROWN: The officer driving the van made another stop here. |
and three other officers arrived to check on Mr. Gray. |
MOSBY: Mr. Gray at that time requested help and indicated that he could not breathe. Officer Porter asked Mr. Gray if he needed a medic at which time Mr. Gray indicated at least twice that he was in need of a medic. |
BROWN: Mosby said they did not call a medic and once again failed to seat belt Gray. The van's driver decided to move on. It was at the fourth stop here, he van picked up his man, Donte Alan who was put on the other side of the metal partition. |
DONTE ALAN, SEND PASSENGER IN POLICE VAN: The only thing I heard is little banging like I thought it banging. Someone was banging his head or something. |
BROWN: Mosby says Gray was again neglected. |
MOSBY: Sergeant Alicia White, Officer Porter, and Officer Goodson observed Mr. Gray unresponsive on the floor of the wagon. |
BROWN: But it wasn't until 25 minutes later when the van reached the police station that a medic was called. At that point she says Gray was in cardiac arrest and not breathing. The medical examiner and prosecutor concluded Gray's death was a homicide. |
BROWN: All six officers are facing criminal charges including assault and misconduct. The van's driver facing the most charges including second degree depraved heart murder which carries a sentence of up to 30 years. All six officer are in custody. And today, one of their attorney says this was an egregious rush to jud... |
COOPER: Pamela, thanks very much. |
One quick late note. We just learned that as of a moment ago, all six officers have now posted bond. And there is a lot to talk about tonight and throughout this next two hours in Baltimore. CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, as you know, she a former federal prosecutor, Baltimore area resident and friend of the mayor, St... |
COOPER: Jeff, you did not expect these charges today. What do you make of them and the severity of them? |
JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Well, this is, not only faster, but also in more serious set of charges that I expected. She better be right. She better have the back-up to win these cases. And it will be a challenge because you have a lot of defendants. You are going to have to assign individual responsibility, des... |
COOPER: That was my next question. Because -- I mean, is it possible that some of the charges were brought in order to coerce somebody -- one of them or several of them to cooperate against others. Because we've already seen, you know, the person who is deeply connected to one of the officers who I interviewed, that of... |
TOOBIN: And the prosecutors will try to exploit the situation like that. And usually when there are divisions, there can be a race to the prosecutors' office to cut the first deal. Because the person who comes in first usually gets the best deal from prosecutors. But that is getting ahead. You know, I'm particularly su... |
[20:10:17] COOPER: For the driver of the wagon. |
TOOBIN: For the driver, because that is what we call a specific intent crime. That crime of intentional harm inflicted on someone. And I think it is going to be a real challenge in the absence of some sort of admission, you know, where he said something to someone to make a charge like that stick. But you know, when yo... |
COOPER: And Sunny, because the state's attorney would not go into detail in terms of the actual evidence, obviously, because it now ongoing investigation, but an upcoming trial. We don't know the full detail or the medical examiner's report which would give a much more, much better sense of what happened to Mr. Gray in... |
SUNNY HOSTIN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: I think that is right. We don't know everything. Although I will say I was surprised that the state's prosecutor was comfortable enough with giving so much information. Because investigations are basically ongoing, even when you've already charged someone. So the fact that she is now ti... |
doubt. I think -- you know, it is really interesting, but Thursday or the other day when the officers turned over the investigation to the state's attorney's office, everybody was talking about how nothing will come out on Friday, even the state as attorney's office was talking about it, alright? Then all of the sudden... |
COOPER: In order to bring some peace in the streets. |
HOUCK: Right, bring some peace in the streets, so we don't have a riot. And then we will see if we get an indictment later. |
COOPER: Jeff, do you think politics played a role? |
TOOBIN: If that is true -- well, I mean, if that is true, that would be hugely irresponsible. You don't file criminal charges for any other purpose than -- that you think that you have a race you can make. |
COOPER: I mean, Sunny, there were number of people I talked to in Baltimore today, many were elated, some did believe that this was influenced by the violence in the street and influenced -- the speed with which this came about was influenced and it was a desire to kind of calm things down? |
