The kids aren’t alright: How Generation Covid is losing out | Free to read | Financial Times
When Mary Finnegan, 27, and her sister Meg, 22, left their Brooklyn apartment to return to their parents’ home in March, they took enough clothes to last two weeks.
Their stay stretched into months. “It was like a return to homeschooling: no boys, no play dates, nowhere to go, except home and the liquor store,” Mary told the Financial Times.
As the coronavirus pandemic worsened and universities closed, Mary and Meg were followed by three other siblings, turning the parental four-bedroom house in Washington, New Jersey, into a “food hall, a bakery and a gym”, according to their mother Lori.
The Finnegans are among the millions of young adults around the world who have moved back in with their parents since Covid-19 struck. In the US, the share of 18- to 29-year-olds living at home is the highest ever recorded.
While they are less at risk of developing severe forms of Covid-19, students and young workers are suffering from the pandemic’s economic fallout more harshly than other groups, data show. The pandemic has also amplified previous trends including low wages, stagnant job markets and rising student debt.
A global survey by the Financial Times, to which more than 800 16- to 30-year-olds responded, shows that these difficulties are translating into growing resentment towards older generations, which are both better off and holding greater political sway.
“We are not in this together, millennials have to take the brunt of the sacrifice in the situation,” said Polina R, 30, from Montreal, Canada. “If you won’t watch out that we don’t end up jobless and poorer, why should we protect you?”
Here is what they told the FT about their experiences during the pandemic:
‘I feel I am worthless’
Komal Kadam, who lives in Maharashtra, India, and Juyeon Lee, from Daegu in South Korea, have both found it difficult to find jobs amid dwindling vacancies
Since graduating in August, 25-year-old Juyeon Lee from Daegu, South Korea, has submitted dozens of job applications. Although she has had a few interviews, she has grown rattled by the dwindling number of vacancies.
“I don’t want to get infected because if I do, job hunting would be harder . . . I feel I am worthless and I would never get proper work even though I was a confident graduate when I had interviews,” she said.
Those aged 25 and under are 2.5 times more likely to be without a job because of the pandemic than the 26-64 age group, according to the OECD. Studies have also shown that graduating during a recession can have a scarring effect on wages.
Among those still working, almost half reported a reduction in income, with young women and those in lower paid jobs the hardest hit, according to the OECD and the International Labour Organization. Many who wrote to the FT said they had to abandon business plans and dip into their savings.
In the developing world, unemployment often means no longer being able to support multiple generations of dependants: Komal Kadam, 28, from Maharashtra, India, was the only one in the family who earned money until she lost her job in March.
“I am scared of everything . . . Can I get a new job? How will I pay my loans? [There are] lots of things on my mind,” she said.
‘I refuse to stop enjoying life’
Toader Mateoc from the US and Juan from Colombia have seen attitudes to lockdown vary hugely
Many surveyed by the FT said they were afraid of catching or transmitting the virus, but others admitted to a more nonchalant attitude — a behaviour that has been criticised by political leaders as one reason for a resurgence of the pandemic in Europe and the US after the summer.
During the peak of the lockdown in the spring, Polina from Montreal had friends over. “I did not follow recommendations,” she said. “I travelled out of the country twice and have gone to bars, restaurants and theatres a dozen times.
“My risk tolerance is high and I refuse to stop enjoying life when no one has a plan and the people in power have no skin in the game.”
In many places, notably the US but also in Europe and south Asia, many respondents pointed out that it was often older people who defied public health regulations.
“Older generations believe whatever the internet tells them. They are misguided by WhatsApp forwards and YouTube videos,” Ajitha, 28, from Chennai, India, noted.
“I did break rules. I went on several dates with a girl I met during this period. I don’t know what was scarier, my mom finding out I was meeting other people and exposing everyone or the fear of getting caught by the police”
Juan, 25, Colombia
“Everybody's attitude reminds me of drivers' attitudes on the highway: everybody faster than me is crazy, while everybody slower than me is an imbecile”
Toader Mateoc, 28, US
“Pivoting on a dime just as I had been getting acquainted with the ‘real world’ was a bit jarring”
Marco Angelo Felizardo, 22, Philippines
‘We are all being blamed for a crisis in leadership’
A protest over education costs in Edinburgh and a message projected on a building protesting against President Jair Bolsonaro’s decision not to lock down Sao Paulo
Many respondents said they were losing faith in their leaders and felt that the pandemic had been poorly handled — with the exception of some Europeans and respondents from parts of Asia.
“We are all being blamed for a crisis in leadership,” Anthony, 23, from Annecy, France, told the FT.
From his kitchen table-cum-office in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Danilo Ventura, 29, has watched his country cycle through three different health ministers since the start of the pandemic. “The world was saying A and Brazilian politics were screaming Z,” he said.
That lack of direction took a toll: Brazil has the second-worst death toll in the world after the US. Danilo and his wife quarantined following the regional government’s instructions, even though the country’s populist president Jair Bolsonaro attended crowded events.
Trust in government among young people has declined across the developed world since 2016, according to the OECD. “Their confidence in public institutions and their perception of having political influence and representation in decision-making have stalled,” said Elsa Pilichowski, who runs the OECD’s Directorate of Public Governance.
In the US and the UK, in particular, many told the FT that they felt the government had been inconsistent and slow to act.
“The airports were opened too long. The messaging on masks was disgraceful. I never got one until mid-June,” said John, 28, from Glasgow, Scotland. “My perception is that, shy of America, we really are handling this terribly.”
The pandemic has deepened political disenchantment, according to Naumi Haque, senior vice-president of research at Ipsos. “Gen Z and millennials are more likely to feel like things in their country are out of control right now than older generations,” he said.
‘A lot of very difficult, intense feelings’
Mary Finnegan was one of several respondents who pointed to the mental health impact of lockdown, with anxiety over education and getting a job adding to the burden
Many contacted the FT saying they had entertained thoughts of harming themselves. “Unemployment, mental health difficulties, and uncertainty about when this will all end make for a pretty despairing outlook,” James, 30, from London, said. “At one point I was considering suicide,” he added.
Public health specialists have warned that the mental health impact of the pandemic will outlast the virus, as millions cope with depression, anxiety and isolation. Studies conducted in the UK and the US showed that those aged 18 to 29 experienced higher level of distress compared to other age groups during this period.
Back in New Jersey, five of the 10 Finnegan children have started going to therapy since the pandemic began. “Someone had a breakdown about once a week,” Mary said.
María Rodríguez, 25, originally from Spain but living in Krakow, Poland, said she decided to risk getting Covid-19 rather than falling into depression because of isolation.
“I am not afraid of going to cafés and [meeting] multiple people since I won’t get my family sick,” she said. “I chose my mental health over Covid.”
In May, Ola Demkowicz, a lecturer in psychology of education at Manchester university, surveyed hundreds of teenagers in the UK. Many of them described experiencing “a lot of very difficult, intense feelings” as they adapted to the uncertainty in their lives. “For those with existing mental health difficulties this appears to have been really quite a challenge,” she said.
“I was very strict when living at home with my older parents. Now, after becoming an alcoholic nun for six months, I will risk Covid for a chance to go on a date again”
Mary Finnegan, 27, US
“You face hours of Zoom university every day, a devalued degree at full freight, diminished job prospects, fear for your elder relatives, and fewer (if any) chances to see your friends or make new ones. It’s enough to make anyone a little nihilistic”
Will, 23, US
“Teacher expectations have risen exponentially and everything I do has to be several times better than usual, for the examiners suspect and expect foul play. The pressure’s been steadily rising in the past six months, but I hope that when everything settles down, so will the stress”
Alistair Woo, 16, Hong Kong
“Young people are hustlers, every youth out there wants to be better but this pandemic ruined things, restricted movements, schools were shut down, some businesses crashed”
Victoria Chidiebere, 22, Nigeria
‘A door to many new horizons’
Alistair Woo, left, points to rising expectations from teachers, while Victoria Chidiebere says that the pandemic has halted young people’s natural entrepreneurship
Several respondents, however, said that the pandemic had allowed them to reconnect with their families and nature, as well as tick things off their bucket list.
Joshua, 26, from the UK, said that one morning in August he packed his car and headed for Spain, leaving behind a small flat and a toxic office environment.
“I now spend less than a third of my salary on a three-bedroom apartment by the sea to myself. A couple of friends have visited but I’m mostly living the socially distant bachelor life,” he said.
In February, researchers from Thailand observed a group of college students in Wuhan, China, where the virus originated, to find out how they were coping with the lockdown. They found that several them were reacting with resilience.
Dr Demkowicz found similar evidence in the UK: the first lockdown provided teenagers with the opportunity to decide how to structure their day freed from social obligations and schoolwork, she said: “They could . . . explore what they wanted out of life and kind of find ways to grow and develop and re-evaluate what directions they were taking.”
In the FT survey, Anders Furze, 30, from Albury, Australia, said he had realised that he was burning the candle at both ends before the pandemic: “I was out five nights a week: having dinners, attending film screenings, theatre shows.”
He recently gave his career a rethink and enrolled in a postgraduate law degree. “It feels like it is opening up a door to many new horizons,” he said.

Neste and Boeing to Lead the Industry on Commercialization of Renewable Aviation Fuels
Neste, the leading producer of renewable diesel and Boeing, the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer will work together to promote and accelerate the commercialization of renewable aviation fuel. The companies will work toward American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) fuel standard approval allowing the commercial use of high freezing point renewable aviation fuel by airlines. The goal is also to gain widespread market acceptance for renewable aviation fuels, and to progress sustainability accreditation efforts.
Neste anticipates that its high-quality renewable aviation fuel could help the aviation industry to achieve its greenhouse gas saving targets: carbon-neutral growth from 2020 and a net reduction in carbon emissions of 50% by 2050 compared to 2005.
“Airlines and airplane manufacturers are undertaking several initiatives to lower the industry’s carbon footprint, and renewable aviation fuel will be a key part of their long-term environmental solution,” says Kaisa Hietala, Neste’s Executive Vice President of Renewable Products. “We are very excited to work with Boeing, in order to help create a commercially viable market for renewable aviation fuels”.
“Boeing is proud to collaborate with Neste, a global leader in renewable fuel production, to meet our shared goals of expanding the supply and reducing the cost of sustainable aviation biofuel,” says Julie Felgar, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ Managing Director of Environmental Strategy & Integration. “The aviation industry is committed to making air travel more sustainable.”
In 2014, Boeing successfully tested Neste’s renewable aviation fuel in a 15% blend with petroleum jet fuel in the Boeing ecoDemonstrator 787, a test airplane that assesses technologies that can reduce aviation’s environmental footprint. The 787 made an initial flight with this biofuel blend in one engine, followed by several flights with the biofuel blend in both engines. Based on its test flights, Boeing reported that “the airplane performed as designed with the renewable jet blend, just as it does with conventional jet fuel”.
Produced entirely from renewable and sustainable raw materials, Neste’s renewable aviation fuel will provide significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%; in addition, the fuel is free of aromatics and sulfur, which should result in cleaner turbine exhaust emissions. Neste’s renewable aviation fuel is energy dense and has good thermal stability properties making it an excellent blending component.

Admas Habteslasie: « I like staring at things »
Interview of Marian Nur Goni with Admas Habteslasie
A conversation with Admas Habteslasie on his fascinating work, « Limbo », which explores landscapes and certain aspects of recent Eritrean history in three successive chapters: Past, Future and Present.
In the documentary photography tradition, Habteslasie constructs a sensitive and powerful work.
Let’s start this interview with your beginnings in photography and Lewis Hine’s photographs, which had an important impact on you. Can you say a few words about this early photographic experience?
The first time I saw Lewis Hine’s photos was in the Terrence Malick film’Days of Heaven’; Malick uses a montage of some of Hine’s photos of labourers at the start of the film. I think it was a striking experience because I’d never really looked at documentary photography before then. I went back to the photos later when I started to become interested in photography. In many ways, it’s hard to pin down what I like so much about them. There is a sense of wonder and novelty about the photographic medium in much early photography that I find very beautiful. It’s diametrically opposed to the easy familiarity that we have with photographic images today, which I suppose is part of its appeal. For photographers who aspire to social goals, Hine in some ways represents something of an ideal – his photos were an important part of a national debate on child labour that led to the enactment of legislation outlawing the practice.
Do you think that his work has had an impact on yours? If so, in what way? Have other photographers’ works been influential on your practice too?
I was definitely influenced by his style, by the simplicity of his aesthetic. I like a lot of photographers from that era – I’m also a big fan of Walker Evans. I think part of the reason that this style of photography attracts me so much is that I share some of that sense of wonder at photography – when I look at a photo that moves me, I feel like a child – and it’s also, predictably, a function of how I see the world. I like staring at things.
I’m influenced by many different photographers – too many to list – but in particular the work of Walker Evans had a big impact on me.
A residency held in Syracuse NY in 2009, organized by the non-profit US organization Light Work in collaboration with the London-based charity Autograph ABP, led to « Limbo », an exhibition of your work in Eritrea, and a catalogue (« Contact sheet » n. 151).
Can you say few words about your Eritrean project? When and how did you start taking photographs there?
I started taking photographs in Eritrea in 2004, a year before I started studying photography (1). I had been to visit Eritrea regularly from a young age, so I had a strong link to the country; when I started studying photography, it seemed natural for me to head back to Eritrea. The project started with the idea of exploring the impact of the unresolved border conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia. The project slowly expanded, however, until it became more of a broader portrait of the country. In retrospect, the border issue was a way into the project rather than its main point.
The photographs published in the catalogue were taken in Senafe, Assab, Sembel, Asmara… What were the work and shooting conditions like for you?
The conditions were good, even if I could only spend a limited amount of time in some of the places I was shooting in. For example, I was in Senafe, a town very close to the Eritrea-Ethiopia border, at a time when tensions between Eritrea and Ethiopia were high, so I could only spend a couple of hours there. I know Eritrea well; I have visited regularly since I was young.
The general tones of your photographs are pastel. This contributes to creating a very sweet and strange atmosphere (the limbo of your title) in spite of the difficulties experienced by the country. How do you work on this particular aspect?
I went to Eritrea twice for the project, once in 2005 and the second time in 2008. The first time I went I did not have a preconceived idea of the aesthetic approach I wanted to take – I was simply drawn to things and snapped away. Some broad visual themes emerged in the editing, but I had the opportunity to really focus in on the relationship between the aesthetics and the underlying ideas during my residency at Light Work, where I had the space to play around and really think about things like the colour palette. This focused my attention for my second trip in 2008 and the overall project became significantly more aesthetically coherent as a result of this experience.
In « Contact sheet », you decided to create three successive chapters: Past, Future and Present. Was this distinction already clear to you when you were taking pictures in Eritrea, or did it come later looking at your body of work and editing it?
No, it’s something that emerged later. The idea of history and its connection with the present is something that is quite a preoccupation, both with me personally and in the project. Photography creates history: a photo is, amongst other things, a document of a specific period in history.
Eritrea, like many African countries, has a lot of history and is wedded to its historical narrative; also, there is an obsessive focus on the future and its possibilities. As a result, the present almost disappears into thin air. I suppose the chapter division was a way of trying to get some of this across.
Often in your photographs, human beings are absent, very far away, shot whilst sleeping, or with hidden faces – apart from in chapter 3, « Present », where two separate and very beautiful portraits of two men and a portrait of two children appear. Why?
The broader aesthetic approach was a consequence of the subject matter, or at least how I thought the subject matter would be best approached. Firstly, Eritrea is not a country that reveals itself to you in a straightforward way; there’s always an element of trying to work out what’s actually going on. Eritreans are obsessed with being discreet. Also, perhaps because I’m also Eritrean, I have a reticence about shoving my camera in people’s faces – I feel quite apologetic as a photographer, generally. Photographers take people’s photos and then go and form their own little narrative, a narrative that is dressed up as a historical document. It’s an enormous responsibility. As such, I’m quite shy about taking portraits – or rather, I find it hard to take one I’m happy with unless I have a certain level of comfort and familiarity with the subject. Regarding this project, I wanted to temper the overall impression of looking in on a world from the outside with a glimpse into the human side of the story. It seemed like the’present’ section was the right place to put the portraits, as it underscores the idea that in between the grand historical narrative of the past and the uncertainty of the future, the present is a place where people wait, patiently.
Do you consider your work in Eritrea as finished?
In terms of the photography, it feels pretty complete. I am currently working on producing some written material to go with the work.
What are your forthcoming projects?
At the moment I’m based in the Middle East and am working on a few projects in the region; I’m also currently doing some research for a prospective project in the Caribbean.

Eurovent Middle East puts the spotlight on energy-efficient cold storage solutions
International and local experts discuss smart solutions for food retail stores; Industry association announces working group for refrigeration and cold storage
Hannah Jo Uy | Follow @ccmenews | Jan 29, 2019 | 2:18 pm
Brian Suggitt, MD, Systemair, and Chairman, Eurovent Middle East
Dubai, UAE, 29 January 2019: Eurovent Middle East highlighted opportunities to reduce the energy bill in cold store facilities in the latest edition of the industry association’s HVACR Leadership Workshop series, held on January 28, in Dubai. Brian Suggitt, Managing Director, Systemair, and Chairman, Eurovent Middle East, kick-started the seminar by highlighting the valuable role cold chain plays in food safety and reducing food waste, underscoring how the solutions to be presented by international guest speakers and local experts will help retailers “do more with less”.
John Austin-Davies, former Chair of the British Refrigeration Association and former Director of EPTA UK
Delivering a presentation on energy-efficient refrigeration in food retail stores, John Austin-Davies, former Chair of the British Refrigeration Association and former Director of EPTA UK, said that innovation must take into account the basic requirements of ensuring the preservation of food at the right temperature with no compromise on short- and long-term reliability. “Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD),” he said, “allows us to introduce technologies, where airflow is optimised by airflow-management devices, which can help achieve double-digit energy savings.” He also discussed the global move towards natural refrigerants and the need for training to ensure proper installations.
Jan Svallingson, Director, Business Development, Frico
Jan Svallingson, Director, Business Development, Systemair-Frico, discussed how air curtains can be used to reduce thermal energy losses in the retail sector. The solution, he said, is more hygienic, enhances visibility, offers a safer working environment and reduces maintenance cost, whereas PVC strips are prone to ice build-up because of the condensation. Svallingson highlighted energy savings achieved with case studies of projects in Asia and concluded his presentation with the announcement that Frico is working on releasing an air curtain for trucks in the coming months. “We have done some tests in Europe and Thailand,” he said. “We want to test it here with the high temperature conditions.”
Alexander Abrass, Sales Director of Cooling, MENA, Danfoss
Discussing energy efficiency within smart stores, Alexander Abrass, Sales Director of Cooling, MENA, Danfoss Turkey, Middle East and Africa, spoke on how a holistic approach can convert existing challenges, such as customer demand, profit margins and unclear regulations, into opportunities to save money, stressing that “whenever we are enhancing systems, we are protecting the food”. Abrass underscored the importance of providing end-to-end smart solutions to customers, which could include simple monitoring and management systems and HVACR integration. “We want supermarkets that are generating energy during the day and selling to the grid,” he said. “This is smart energy.”
Arul Joseph, Director – Digital Solutions, Data Enabled Business, Johnson Controls – GCC
Arul Joseph, Director- Digital Solutions, Data Enabled Business, Johnson Controls – GCC, spoke on the shift from stand-alone systems to connected and converged digital platforms that facilitate integration of data for actionable insights. He said: “Typically, 100 meters and sensors and more than 50 sub-systems are at work in a 10,000-square-metre building, generating more than 100 variations of the data, because markets differ and usages of buildings differ, as do the way the buildings are designed and installed. Between the various sub-systems, close to half a million sample data points are captured every day, which equates to more than 10 gigabytes of data, annually. If you collect data from 300-400 such-sized buildings, it would be more than the entire data generated by all the users pressing the ‘Like’ button in Facebook in the course of a year – that is how enormous the data from buildings is.” Joseph also underscored how data can identify opportunities in terms of performance leaks, to ensure energy savings, better efficiency, increase lifecycle and provide predictive service, which can deploy an FM personnel before a failure can occur, reducing downtime and operational cost.
Marco Duarte, BDM, ebm-papst Middle East
Representing ebm-papst Middle East, Marco Duarte, Business Development Manager, discussed the benefits of choosing EC technology, underscoring the heavy consumption that fans impose on the building sector and highlighting redundancy as a benefit in addition to energy savings, in a wide range of applications. Duarte also discussed case studies of air conditioning and refrigeration retrofits in the retail sector.
Markus Lattner, MD, Eurovent Middle East
Markus Lattner, Managing Director, Eurovent Middle East, concluded the workshop with an announcement on the development of a working group for refrigeration and cold storage with the aim of bringing the industry together to deliver recommendations that could be brought forward with the local municipality in the move towards establishing minimum standards. Lattner said this is the third working group the association introduced, with two ongoing working groups on air conditioning focusing on establishing SEER standards in Saudi Arabia and another, on air distribution and filtration, working closely with Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council.

March-past, floats and awards mark R-Day in Chandigarh
Chandigarh, Jan 26 (Calcutta Tube) The colourful march-past and cultural programmes were all there, but the Republic Day celebrations in this Union Territory Tuesday also saw a unique event – an AIDS patient being awarded for her exemplary work among the afflicted.
Pooja Thakur, an AIDS patient, was awarded by the administration for her outstanding work for the welfare and uplift of AIDS patients. Thakur is the first AIDS patient who has been honoured during Republic Day celebrations in the history of Chandigarh.
Besides Thakur, commendation certificates awarded to over 20 residents of the city for their exceptional work in the fields of education, arts, sports and social service.
Earlier, the national tricolour was hoisted by adviser to the UT administrator Pardeep Mehra and he also took the salute at the parade to mark India’s 61st Republic Day.
The parade was celebrated at the Parade Ground in Sector 17 here, the commercial hub of Chandigarh.
An immaculate march-past, various cultural programmes and singing of patriotic songs marked the parade watched by hundreds of spectators and officials.
School children, National Cadet Corps cadets, the AIDS control society, Chandigarh Police, Chandigarh Home Guards, road safety wing, Punjab Armed Police and Haryana Armed Police participated in the parade.
There was a vibrant procession of floats, made by different city-based institutions like the Government Museum and Art Gallery, College of Arts, the adult education department, social welfare department and Red Cross society.
‘Chandigarh is pursuing a path of quick development. The administration is keeping in mind the needs of every section of society to ensure appropriate growth of this city,’ said Mehra, addressing the gathering.
Tight security arrangements were made all across the city to ensure smooth celebrations of the Republic Day.

CAPTAIN WONDER
To create his character Ross Saakle borrowed liberally from the Batman and Superman models. A Canadian orphan whose parents were murdered by a criminal, lives for twenty years with “Yogi” in the Temple of Aidni in the Himalayan Mountains. He is transformed into a hero with the same powers as Superman. He of course wants to avenge his parents by fighting criminals back in Canada. As the story progresses he forms a close relationship with a police commissioner.
“Captain Wonder’s” first encounter is with a mad scientist called Frank N. Stein where he saves the “girl” and her brother from being turned into monsters. The second and most interesting story in the “Captain Wonder” series is the three issue (9-11) tale where “Captain Wonder” battles Satan in order to save “the girl”. The tone of this story makes one think they are watching a battle between two comedians. It ends with “Captain Wonder” victorious but Satan planning a second round with this “worthy opponent”. It seemed like Ross was onto something with the devil theme, but unfortunately it was never revisited. Instead, the serial becomes a standard good guys versus bad guys feature. The energy seems to leak out of it..
In Triumph 18 “Captain Wonder” does a guest appearance in a “Speed Savage” story. In issues 22 and 23, to the usual mix of good guy versus bad guy Ross added a group of young lads. “Captain Wonder” shows them that bad guys are cowards not worth emulating. It was an interesting effort to reduce any attraction bad guys might have for young readers. This was not the first time Ross attempted to instruct his readers. Often the last panel of each adventure, was devoted to admonishing readers to help the Canadian war effort through buying Canada Savings Bonds. Back in Triumph 12, Ross had invited his readers to tell him about their ideas, slogans and activities in support of the war effort and he would publish them in the last panel of each “Captain Wonder” story. It was an effort that lasted only a couple of issues.
At least initially, “Captain Wonder” is different from most other Canadian wartime serials. Ross makes it very clear the episodes are located in Canada. From the beginning we are told he is returning to Canada to fight crime, and when place names are given they are Canadian locations, like the 1000 islands in the St Lawrence. Ross also made “Captain Wonder” saving damsels in distress a regular feature of his serial. Unlike nearly all of the other wartime serials, “Captain Wonder” episodes deal largely with gangsters and rarely with Nazi agents, although it is interesting how he incorporates references to the war through the side comments of the characters and as mentioned above each adventure usually ends with “Captain Wonder” encouraging readers to help the Canadian war effort.
Unlike the “Batman’ and “Superman” stories which are deadly serious, Ross injected a casual almost flippant tone into his tales with a liberal use of puns, wise cracks, in jokes and sight gags. He played with names like “Frank N. Stein”. Was “Dr. Ranting” the Canadian scientist a play on Dr. Banting the co-discoverer of insulin? Certainly “Bachle Bluffs” was a play on the name of his fellow cartoonist Leo Bachle. An example that joins his sense of place with his sense of humour occurs in the issue 8 story. The location of the Nazi agents’ base is an island among the St. Lawrence River’s thousands islands. At the climax of the story the Nazis and the island are blown up. In the last panel of the story we see “Captain Wonder” and his companions looking at a “Welcome To The 1000 Islands” sign where 1000 has been stroked out and 999 has been added.
As I said earlier the originality and vitality of the serial declines after the Satan story. Was he tiring of the character or was he simply overworked? He was at the time cartooning “Ace Barton”, “ The Noodle” and “Spike & Mike” while also cartooning and illustrating games, features and stories. Whatever the reason, “Captain Wonder’s” humorous battle with Satan is the strongest in this series.

New mag: now there’s a Brit preaching the Ghazwa e-Hind
by Charles Cameron | Oct 24, 2014 | Monitor |
[ by Charles Cameron — we’ve ignored the apocalyptic aspect of Khorasan for years, now we’re admitting it, but still overlooking the second prong ]
Introducing the first English language issue of Ihya-e-Khilafat — which is in effect a new magazine, since it has a new intended readership — Tufail Ahmad, director of MEMRI’s South Asia Studies Project, writes:
A Pakistani Taliban organization that was recently expelled from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP or the Movement of Pakistani Taliban) has released a new English-language magazine that aims at recruiting Muslim youths from the West, praises the 9/11 hijackers, and indicates that some British youths have recently joined the group in the Pakistani tribal region.
The magazine, Ihya-e-Khilafat (Revival of the Islamic Caliphate), has been published in the past in Urdu language, but this is the first time it has been published in English. Its Issue No. 1 is dated October 2014. In an editorial, the magazine states one of its objectives: “[T]here was a need to address English-speaking population of the world. To address that need, we decided to start Ihya-e-Khilafat in English as well and Alhamdolillah [Praise be to Allah] the first English magazine is in your hands. Kuffar [infidels] famously say that the first casualty of the war is truth but we shall try to bring you the news and articles based upon truth even though we are fighting a war.”
Ahmad mentions a British contributor, “identified as Abu Okasha Al-Britani” — but not the Ghazwa e-Hind, which is in fact one of the core ideas in al-Britani‘s piece, Why? I chose to join Jihad-e-Pakistan, pp 37-40:
Upon further studies I also came across numerous hadiths about the Jihad that will happen in Hind or as it has been mentioned in hadiths by the name of “Ghazvatul Hind”.
It is narrated that by Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam that “Two groups amongst My Ummah would be such, to whom Allah has freed from the (Hell) fire; One group would attack Hind & the Second would be that who would accompany Isa Ibn-e-Maryam.”
And in another narration Abu Hurairah said, “The Messenger of Allah, promised the invasion of India. If I become martyred, I will be from the best of the martyred; and if I return, I am Abu Hurairah, the saved.” (Ahmad)
From the above two hadiths, we can see the virtues of participating in the Jihad of Hind or Ghazvatul Hind. One of the virtues is that if you are martyred in the Jihad of Hind, than you will be among the best of martyrs but if you return and are granted victory, then Allah has freed this Mujahid from the fire of Hell. Some people may think that Hind refers to India but that is not correct because Hind at the time of Rasulullah referred to a very large area in which today includes Pakistan, Kashmir, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Burma. All these countries are a part of Hind so without doubt the Jihad in Pakistan is the launch of Ghazvatul Hind. Abu Hurairah also narrates that if he is alive and Ghazvatul Hind or the Jihad in Hind starts, he would participate in it with his wealth and life. If he is martyred than he would be among the best of martyrs and if he is a Ghazi and returns then he will be Abu Hurairah who Allah has freed from the hell fire.
I also invite Muslimeen make Hijrah here, aid the Mujahideen in Khorasaan and work for an Islamic state in Pakistan. The blood of the shuhada is calling you and the screaming and oppressed pure sisters are calling for the helpers to help them. Will you answer? Our Jihad will not stop till Pakistan is conquered but we will keep fighting till entire Hind is under the Shari’ah of Allah. We shall keep going and conquering every country in our path bi’ith nillah till we reach Filisteen and there we shall erect the black flags in Al-Quds. Insh’Allah.
IMO, this new magazine should be read side-by-side with the AQIS magazine Resurgence, which also mentions the Ghazwa, see The new AQ magazine: Ghazwa e-Hind & more. Thomas Joscelyn at LWJ also wrote up Resurgence recently, noting:
“Resurgence” returns to the Indian Subcontinent as its point of reference.
“This wave of Jihad that originated in Afghanistan and has spread to Iraq, the Levant and North Africa is also the ultimate hope of the Muslims of the Subcontinent,” Yusuf writes. “It was Jihad that brought Islam to the Indian Subcontinent, and it will be Jihad again that will overturn the legacy of imperialism from Pakistan to Bangladesh and beyond.”
Various pieces from other authors are dedicated to waging jihad in the Indian Subcontinent.
Like Ahmad at MEMRi, Joscelyn makes no direct reference to the Ghazwa — but it is there by name in the magazine.
It is surely worth remembering that the “Khorasan” tradition is of two victorious armies pursuing independent but related paths in the end-times — “the group that will invade Al Hind (the Subcontinent) and the group that will be with Eesa (A.S), the son of Mariam” — the latter being the one we hear more about in the west, the one which will capture Jerusalem.
Note that according to al-Zawahiri, the Ghazwa e-Hind encompasses a greater area than “India” alone — or “the subcontinent”. As I quoted Bill Roggio writing in Al Qaeda opens branch in the ‘Indian Subcontinent:
Zawahiri says the group will defend the “vulnerable in the Indian subcontinent, in Burma, Bangladesh, Assam, Gujurat, Ahmedabad, and Kashmir …”

HBO Max Orders a ‘Intercourse and the Metropolis’ Revival
“Sex and the City,” the seminal HBO series that ran from 1998 to 2004 and later featured in two feature films, is returning.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis will repeat their original characters for a new 10-episode series, HBO Max told Sunday night. Kim Cattrall, the other star in Sex and the City, who has repeatedly expressed her reluctance to return to the show, is not returning. HBO Max said the revival would be called “And Just Like That …” and that production would begin “late spring” in New York.
“The series will follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte on their way from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their thirties to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their fifties,” HBO Max said in a statement.
The return of “Sex and the City” is just the most recent revival for HBO Max as the eight-month-old streaming service tries to bounce back from a sluggish start. Executives for HBO Max are also making a new “Gossip Girl” series and have signed up for a “Friends” meetup special.
Michael Patrick King, a top producer on the original series and the films “Sex and the City,” will return as executive producer.

Bookmarks Now Available From Cheops Books LLC
Bookmarks are now available from Cheops Books LLC for distribution to whoever requests a copy using the Contact Us feature of the website. They will also be given out for free as samples at the ALA Library Convention in New Orleans in late June where a copy of the soon to be published Armistice Plot will also be displayed.
The bookmark depicts the cover scene for the historical thriller Armistice Plot. Edward and Lawrence are entering Damascus at the end of the Great War. Edward is driving. Lawrence is wearing the Arab head covering. The Turks are suing for peace and are willing to sign the Armistice.
The novel Armistice Plot begins at an archaeological site at Carchemish in 1914 as Edward Ware’s father and Leonard Woolley close down their dig in the face of war. As Edward peers into the tent at midnight he sees a dark-robed intruder brushing past the figurine of an ancient Hittite king that he and T.E.Lawrence excavated at Carchemish this summer in 1914. Is this a spy sent by the Germans to steal the maps Lawrence is sketching for the British military? Edward first encounters the vamp who will haunt the rest of his life prowling among the finds, looking for the military maps that his fellow archaeologist T. E.Lawrence is drawing for the British government. All during the ensuing Great War Edward must fight to keep the maps secret.
Finally during the Battle of Damascus Edward and Lawrence defeat the Turks and make them sue for peace. They will sign the Armistice ending the war. But the vamp, though imprisoned in Damascus, escapes. Edward must chase her down. There are hints that she is fleeing to join with the Austrian corporal, Adolf Hitler, who is beginning a new movement in Munich. Signs of a new war appear on the horizon though the first has just come to an end with an Armistice that isn’t worth the paper it is written on.
This is an historical thriller about Edward’s contest to the death first with the German Kaiser and then with Hitler himself. It will determine the woman he will marry and the woman he will not. It will drive him to the brink of madness in a century gone insane.

Comments on Liquid Marijuana:
By Josh on June 11th, 2011 at 10:52:29
a bar tender at a local bar made this for my boyfriend one night after work and put pinapple chunks and cherries in it, he absolutly loved it, and he doesn't like mixed drinks :)
By hewhowalksbeneath on May 20th, 2011 at 18:47:53
Awesome drink. If made right, it is completely the best. Gets you feeling good in a millisecond.
By Dave "Potwash" Bush on May 20th, 2011 at 02:16:41
Just referring to the guy/girl "luchipher", while as a bartender I would ultimately love everyone to tip that orders a cocktail, the fact a drink has 2 or more alcohols in the recipe is exactly what makes it a cocktail, so it would be arrogant to expect a tip everytime, good drink recipe though, though I'd definitiely modify the amount of p'apple
By dfultz on December 6th, 2010 at 21:03:36
extremely smooth. highly recomended from chicks
By bigtitblonde on November 16th, 2010 at 13:24:43
i loved this drink. we sampled some at a bar with some friends and i fell in love with it. you can taste the alcohol at all and they are almost addicting. i recommend this to any one!!!!
By Amy on November 2nd, 2010 at 11:29:34
Instead of pineapple juice i use pineapple fanta!It gives it more of the bubbly that people like =]
Also try it frozen! Freeze your pineapple juice in an ice try (each compartment is 1 oz). Put all the liquor and the splash of sweet and sour in the blender with about 3-4 pineapple ice cubes and about 2 regular ice cubes (depending on how strong you want it). Serve. (1 serving)
By TrueDepth69 on October 25th, 2010 at 08:09:48

My husband and I told Vino, a bartender in Oahu, that we didn't like the taste of Alcohol, he mixed us up a liquid Marijuana, it was the best, we were very buzzed, "Happy" and my husband usually has to drink a ton before he gets "happy" but this did the trick very fast. Whoooo Hooooo!

According to this website a hurricane is served with cranberry juice, vodka, and raspberry liqueu making Liquid Marijuana a very different drink.
By anna on March 17th, 2010 at 15:37:09
By Tim on March 15th, 2010 at 22:09:05
This is an amazing mixed drink not like any other. And the only thing this has in common with a hurricane is the spiced rum so it is not the same
By milkshake on March 5th, 2010 at 17:25:53
cant taste the alcohol in the drink it taste like a fruit drink so this is my new mixed drink very tasty
By Jesika on February 4th, 2010 at 11:42:28
OK... Is there a reason why it's called 'liquid marijuana'? Does it taste like pot or smell like it? Does it make you feel stoned?
By Bambie, a mixacologist! on February 2nd, 2010 at 13:11:10
OMG!!!! IT'S like, like, ooooohhhhh, I just can't think what it remindes me of!!!! Yes I can all you idiot's out there. Have you never heard of a hurricane!!!! Nothing new here!!!

By Lucipher on November 9th, 2009 at 10:23:38
Just remember when you order a drink that has more than 2 liquors in it, tip your bartender really well, unless they are bored and not busy.
By Jerte, paco on October 24th, 2009 at 23:57:36

iPod nano mp3 players: mp3 technology of the future
Apple has the mp3 market essentially boxed off at this stage. The ipod Nano mp3 players were among the most popular and versatile of the ipod range. The Nano's shape and design has deviated very little from its conception. This is for one simple reason; it works, so why mess with it.
The latest ipod Nano mp3 player is the first to have a complete overhaul on the design front, with its shape becoming square, rather than the rectangle most of us are used to. The older models were equipped with 8 GB or 16 GB storage, an accelerometer and a sharp, useable interface. The curved aluminum body and brushed metal of the latter models was difficult to beat, but Apple isn't known for resting on their laurels.
The sixth generation ipod nano mp3 player is the first complete re-thinking of the model. First things first, the click wheel is gone! It has a full touchscreen interface, even though the unit is about one third the size of its older sibling.
The hardware has also undergone a radical re-design. The sixth generation ipod Nano mp3 players now have an operating system more akin to iOS than ipod. It is available in seven different colours, one for every day of the week.
Along with a hugely simplified design and aesthetic, Apple has turned out its finest Nano mp3 player to date. The screen response is excellent, making life easier for the avid jogger. It also has hardware buttons to control volume, freeing your gaze from the screen when you want to adjust it.
The sixth generation ipod nano mp3 players are a blast of fresh air into this market, both through design and hardware. It's an attractive choice if you're out looking for a new mp3 player.

Since Android is a mess and there is no centralized way to back up your device or restore it to another (don’t start with me, I’m not in the mood nor do I care about how you can but you can’t if the phone is stock Android but your next one isn’t but some of your apps restore but your app data doesn’t but it’s open), Motorola Migrate is a nice tool to help solve that. All you need to do is install the Migrate app on your existing Android smartphone and tap on the Migrate app on your Moto X. You then scan a code using the camera and all of your data starts transferring over, including photos, videos, contacts, call history, text messages and more.

Hydro Racing in China?!?
H1 Unlimited hydroplane racing and Beijing Kingolym Culture Communications Ltd. have entered into an agreement that could bring the world's fastest boats to China as soon as fall 2012.
The announcement comes after recent meetings between H1 Unlimited Chairman Sam Cole, Chinese Motorboat Association General Secretary Wan Hongjun and Beijing Kingolym President Zhengmin Shi to lay the groundwork for establishing an H1 presence in China. Although much work needs to be done to make this a reality, Cole and Shi agreed that the public awareness of the plan is essential.
"We are excited about engaging Beijing Kingolym to make this expansion happen," Cole said. "They have worked with boat racing in the past, have the support of the leadership of the Chinese Motorboat Association and have opened an office in Beijing to take this to the next level."
Cole acknowledged that there are several hurdles to clear:
• A working agreement with UIM to allow for additional international events
• Changes in shipping procedures for the teams; converting to containers
• Invitations from the appropriate municipalities in China for the exact race location(s)
• Scheduling resolution within the H1 Unlimited series
• Ensuring no conflicts with the UIM World Championship Oryx Cup event in Doha, Qatar

PM’s Address at the Plenary Session of the North-Eastern Council – North East got real focus from Government of India
Suman Munshi
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressing at the inauguration of 65th Plenary Session of North East Council, in Shillong on May 27, 2016. The Governors and Chief Ministers of North Eastern States, the Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (I/C), Youth Affairs and Sports (I/C), Prime Ministers Office, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh and other dignitaries are also seen.
PM’s Address at the Plenary Session of the North-Eastern Council
I am very happy to be here for the North Eastern Council Plenary meeting. I also take this opportunity of welcoming you all to this meeting. I hope that the deliberations that have already taken place since yesterday and further deliberations that we have today, will help in faster development of this region.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) May 27, 2016
I am also happy to note that the North Eastern Council has provided support in the development of the North East region. It has been instrumental in establishment of a number of institutions and taking up infrastructure projects in the region.
The North Eastern Council was set up in 1972. Since then it has contributed to the development of the North East region. To meet the growing aspirations of the people, it is important that the North Eastern Council introspects and assesses the extent to which it has been able to achieve its objectives. Perhaps, there is a need to re-orient and upgrade the North Eastern Council. You may like to consider developing the North Eastern Council as a state-of-the-art resource centre for the North Eastern states with the necessary resources, knowledge and skills. The resource centre may enable the states and the implementing agencies to properly plan and execute projects, promote research and innovations and provide strategic policy vision for the region.

The North Eastern Council may look into developing a specialised domain expertise either by itself or through an agency model to assist states and central ministries in their development planning as also problem solving needs. This will enable the imbibing of good governance and best practices in the region. The North Eastern Council should also consider focussing on issues in emerging areas of livelihood, entrepreneurship, venture funds, start-ups and skill development. All this will help in generating jobs.
The government has been focussing on the development of the North East region through its pro-active “Act East Policy”. As part of this policy, we are focussing on reducing the isolation of the region by improving all round connectivity through road, rail, telecom, power and waterways sectors.
If the western region of the country can develop, if other regions of the country can develop, I see no reason why the North East region of the country cannot develop. I am also convinced that India can move forward if all the regions develop including the North East region. The North East region is also very important to us for strategic reasons. And it is my conviction that we have to bring this region at par with the other developed regions of the country.
In the current Budget, more than Rs.30,000 crores have been earmarked for the North East region. It should be our endeavour to ensure that this money is spent well for the development of the region.
We believe in cooperative and competitive federalism. States that are strong and want to grow further, need to be given adequate authority and resources. And States that are not so strong, need to be given needful assistance. It is in this regard that based on the report of the Committee of Chief Ministers, we have decided to continue to provide assistance in the ratio of 90:10 for core Central schemes and 80:20 for non-core schemes to the North Eastern States.
In the recent past, we have established two important projects in Assam – Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited and Numaligarh Refinery Limited’s wax unit. These are big projects that would create huge employment opportunities in the North East region. However, it has taken us many years to complete these projects. We have to ensure that we are able to complete our projects in time and without cost over-runs. Only then can we realise the true benefits of these projects.
The North East is the gateway to South East Asia and we need to take advantage of this. We are opening up both road and rail routes to our neighbouring countries. This should give a boost to the economic development of the region.
We have created a specialised highways construction agency for the North East – the “National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation” – that was incorporated on 18th July 2014. Since then it has set up its Branch Offices, one each in every North Eastern State. As of today, it is implementing 34 projects in the North Eastern States covering a length of 1001 kilometres at a total cost of over Rs. 10,000 crore.
In the road sector, we need to keep in view the special land and weather conditions of this area. Most of the North East areas get a lot of rainfall and are also prone to natural calamities and land-slides. We thus need to be careful in using appropriate technologies in the construction of roads in this area.
We have recently implemented an improved internet connectivity project for the North East region in collaboration with Bangladesh. This will make available 10 GB of seamless alternate bandwidth for the region. This integration will benefit the North East region tremendously.
The Government is also making a heavy investment in power transmission projects covering all the eight North Eastern states at a cost of around Rs 10,000 crore. This would ensure power to more areas. The recent commissioning of Bishwanath-Chariyali-Agra transmission line has also brought 500 MegaWatt additional capacity to the region.
The railways have undertaken a major expansion in the region at a cost of around Rs 10,000 crore. In November 2014, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya were put up on the rail map. Agartala in Tripura has also been connected with broad gauge line. We are on the way to ensure that all the North East states come on the rail map soon.
In the North East, the Indian Railways has commissioned about 900 kilometres of Broad Gauge in the last two years, leaving only about 50 kilometres Meter Gauge lines to be converted in 2016-17. In addition, a 132 kilometre part of third alternative connectivity route to North East (that is New Maynaguri – Jogighopa) has also been commissioned.
There are a number of strengths of the North East which we need to harness for healthy growth of the region. All the states of the North East region are blessed with natural scenic beauty, distinct historical cultural and ethnic heritage. All this offers tremendous scope for tourism in the region. There is also a great scope for mountaineering, trekking and adventure tourism in the region. If developed and promoted well, this can emerge as the biggest employer in the region. It can also add to the growth and income of the region.
I understand that the Ministry of Tourism has identified a thematic circuit for the North East region. I hope that the North Eastern states will make the best use of the scheme to develop tourist circuits and attract tourists from all over the world. The region can also look into combining a few popular destinations of the neighbouring countries with their tourism circuits. This will be an added attraction for tourists.
The majority of youth of the North East region is English speaking. With improved connectivity and language skills, you may look into setting up of the BPO industry in the region.
The Government has approved North East BPO promotion scheme in the Digital India programme for creation of employment opportunities. The North East States must avail facilities and get these BPOs operationalized in their respective States. This will promote growth and provide jobs to our youth.
The North East is home to exotic fruits, flowers, vegetables, aromatic plants, and herbs. Most of them are organic in origin. If we focus our development strategy on organic farming, it would help the region greatly.
A few months ago, I was in Sikkim and participated in a function to declare Sikkim as the first organic state in the country. Other States can take a lead from Sikkim and the North East Council can also play an important role in the development of organic farming in the region. The North East can become the organic food basket for this country. Organic products are going to be increasingly used widely and if the North East Council can assist the states in the region to take a lead in this area, it will contribute immensely to the income of the people and the region.

There is a large rural population in the North East region. If we talk of Assam alone, 86% of the population lives in rural areas. We have initiated the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Mission to bring in economic, social and basic development of the rural areas in a cluster model. It should be the endeavour of the region’s states to make use of this mission for the development of the rural areas.In the end, I would like to express my gratitude to the chairman and all the members of the North Eastern Council for successfully conducting the plenary meeting in Shillong.
My special thanks to the Governor and the Chief Minister of Meghalaya for hosting this meeting. I am sure that the deliberations in this meeting will go a long way in providing direction to the development of the region. Thank you.

We know also that Germany and Japan are conducting their military
and naval operations in accordance with a joint plan. That plan
considers all peoples and nations which are not helping the Axis
powers as common enemies of each and every one of the Axis powers.
That is their simple and obvious grand strategy. And that is why
the American people must realize that it can be matched only with
similar grand strategy. We must realize for example that Japanese
successes against the United States in the Pacific are helpful to
German operations in Libya; that any German success against the
Caucasus is inevitably an assistance to Japan in her operations
against the Dutch East Indies; that a German attack against Algiers
or Morocco opens the way to a German attack against South America
and the Canal.
On the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that
guerrilla warfare against the Germans in, let us say Serbia or
Norway, helps us; that a successful Russian offensive against the
Germans helps us; and that British successes on land or sea in any
part of the world strengthen our hands.
Remember always that Germany and Italy, regardless of any formal
declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the United
States at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at
war with Britain or Russia. And Germany puts all the other
Republics of the Americas into the same category of enemies. The
people of our sister Republics of this Hemisphere can be honored by
that fact.
The true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of
battle. When we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined
that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as
against immediate evil. We Americans are not destroyers–we are
builders.
We are now in the midst of a war, not for conquest, not for
vengeance, but for a world in which this nation, and all that this
nation represents, will be safe for our children. We expect to
eliminate the danger from Japan, but it would serve us ill if we
accomplished that and found that the rest of the world was
dominated by Hitler and Mussolini.
So we are going to win the war and we are going to win the peace
that follows.
And in the difficult hours of this day–through dark days that may
be yet to come–we will know that the vast majority of the members
of the human race are on our side. Many of them are fighting with
us. All of them are praying for us. But, in representing our cause,
we represent theirs as well–our hope and their hope for liberty
under God.
My Fellow Americans:
Washington’s Birthday is a most appropriate occasion for us to talk
with each other about things as they are today and things as we
know they shall be in the future.
For eight years, General Washington and his Continental Army were
faced continually with formidable odds and recurring defeats.
Supplies and equipment were lacking. In a sense, every winter was a
Valley Forge. Throughout the thirteen states there existed fifth
columnists–and selfish men, jealous men, fearful men, who
proclaimed that Washington’s cause was hopeless, and that he should
ask for a negotiated peace.
Washington’s conduct in those hard times has provided the model for
all Americans ever since–a model of moral stamina. He held to his
course, as it had been charted in the Declaration of Independence.
He and the brave men who served with him knew that no man’s life or
fortune was secure without freedom and free institutions.
The present great struggle has taught us increasingly that freedom
of person and security of property anywhere in the world depend
upon the security of the rights and obligations of liberty and
justice everywhere in the world.
This war is a new kind of war. It is different from all other wars
of the past, not only in its methods and weapons but also in its
geography. It is warfare in terms of every continent, every island,
every sea, every air lane in the world.
That is the reason why I have asked you to take out and spread
before you a map of the whole earth, and to follow with me in the
references which I shall make to the world-encircling battle lines
of this war. Many questions will, I fear, remain unanswered
tonight; but I know you will realize that I cannot cover everything
in any one short report to the people.
The broad oceans which have been heralded in the past as our
protection from attack have become endless battlefields on which we
are constantly being challenged by our enemies.
We must all understand and face the hard fact that our job now is
to fight at distances which extend all the way around the globe.
We fight at these vast distances because that is where our enemies
are. Until our flow of supplies gives us clear superiority we must
keep on striking our enemies wherever and whenever we can meet
them, even if, for a while, we have to yield ground. Actually,
though, we are taking a heavy toll of the enemy every day that goes
by.
We must fight at these vast distances to protect our supply lines
and our lines of communication with our allies–protect these lines
from the enemies who are bending every ounce of their strength,
striving against time, to cut them. The object of the Nazis and the
Japanese is to separate the United States, Britain, China and
Russia, and to isolate them one from another, so that each will be
surrounded and cut off from sources of supplies and reinforcements.
It is the old familiar Axis policy of “divide and conquer.”
There are those who still think, however, in terms of the days of
sailing-ships. They advise us to pull our warships and our planes
and our merchant ships into our own home waters and concentrate
solely on last ditch defense. But let me illustrate what would
happen if we followed such foolish advice.
Look at your map. Look at the vast area of China, with its millions
of fighting men. Look at the vast area of Russia, with its powerful
armies and proven military might. Look at the British Isles,
Australia, New Zealand, the Dutch Indies, India, the Near East and
the Continent of Africa, with their resources of raw materials, and
of peoples determined to resist Axis domination. Look too at North
America, Central America and South America.
It is obvious what would happen if all of these great reservoirs of
power were cut off from each other either by enemy action or by
self-imposed isolation:
First, in such a case, we could no longer send aid of any kind to
China–to the brave people who, for nearly five years, have
withstood Japanese assault, destroyed hundreds of thousands of
Japanese soldiers and vast quantities of Japanese war munitions. It
is essential that we help China in her magnificent defense and in
her inevitable counteroffensive–for that is one important element
in the ultimate defeat of Japan.
Second, if we lost communication with the southwest Pacific, all of
that area, including Australia and New Zealand and the Dutch
Indies, would fall under Japanese domination. Japan in such a case
could release great numbers of ships and men to launch attacks on a
large scale against the coasts of the Western Hemisphere–South
America and Central America, and North America–including Alaska.
At the same time, she could immediately extend her conquests in the
other direction toward India, and through the Indian Ocean to
Africa, to the Near East, and try to join forces with Germany and
Third, if we were to stop sending munitions to the British and the
Russians in the Mediterranean, in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea,
we would be helping the Nazis to overrun Turkey, Syria, Iraq,
Persia, Egypt and the Suez Canal, the whole coast of North Africa
itself, and with that inevitably the whole coast of West Africa–
putting Germany within easy striking distance of South America–
fifteen hundred miles away.
Fourth, if by such a fatuous policy we ceased to protect the North
Atlantic supply line to Britain and to Russia, we would help to
cripple the splendid counter-offensive by Russia against the Nazis,
and we would help to deprive Britain of essential food supplies and
munitions.
Those Americans who believed that we could live under the illusion
of isolationism wanted the American eagle to imitate the tactics of
the ostrich. Now, many of those same people, afraid that we may be
sticking our necks out, want our national bird to be turned into a
turtle. But we prefer to retain the eagle as it is–flying high and
striking hard.
I know that I speak for the mass of the American people when I say
that we reject the turtle policy and will continue increasingly the
policy of carrying the war to the enemy in distant lands and
distant waters–as far away as possible from our own home grounds.
There are four main lines of communication now being travelled by
our ships: the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic, the Indian Ocean
and the South Pacific. These routes are not one-way streets, for
the ships that carry our troops and munitions outbound bring back
essential raw materials which we require for our own use.
The maintenance of these vital lines is a very tough job. It is a
job which requires tremendous daring, tremendous resourcefulness,
and, above all, tremendous production of planes and tanks and guns
and also of the ships to carry them. And I speak again for the
American people when I say that we can and will do that job.
The defense of the world-wide lines of communication demands
relatively safe use by us of the sea and of the air along the
various routes; and this, in turn, depends upon control by the
United Nations of many strategic bases along those routes.
Control of the air involves the simultaneous use of two types of
planes–first, the long-range heavy bomber; and, second, the light
bombers, dive bombers, torpedo planes, and short-range pursuit
planes, all of which are essential to the protection of the bases
and of the bombers themselves.
Heavy bombers can fly under their own power from here to the
southwest Pacific, but the smaller planes cannot. Therefore, these
lighter planes have to be packed in crates and sent on board cargo
ships. Look at your map again; and you will see that the route is
long–and at many places perilous–either across the South Atlantic
all the way around South Africa and the Cape of Good Hope, or from
California to the East Indies direct. A vessel can make a round
trip by either route in about four months, or only three round
trips in a whole year.
In spite of the length, and in spite of the difficulties of this
transportation, I can tell you that in two and a half months we
already have a large number of bombers and pursuit planes, manned
by American pilots and crews, which are now in daily contact with
the enemy in the Southwest Pacific. And thousands of American
troops are today in that area engaged in operations not only in the
air but on the ground as well.
In this battle area, Japan has had an obvious initial advantage.
For she could fly even her short-range planes to the points of
attack by using many stepping stones open to her–bases in a
multitude of Pacific islands and also bases on the China coast,
Indo-China coast, and in Thailand and Malaya coasts. Japanese troop
transports could go south from Japan and from China through the
narrow China Sea, which can be protected by Japanese planes
throughout its whole length.
I ask you to look at your maps again, particularly at that portion
of the Pacific Ocean lying west of Hawaii. Before this war even
started, the Philippine Islands were already surrounded on three
sides by Japanese power. On the west, the China side, the Japanese
were in possession of the coast of China and the coast of
Indo-China which had been yielded to them by the Vichy French. On
the North are the islands of Japan themselves, reaching down almost
to northern Luzon. On the east are the Mandated Islands–which
Japan had occupied exclusively, and had fortified in absolute
violation of her written word.
The islands that lie between Hawaii and the Philippines–these
islands, hundreds of them, appear only as small dots on most maps.
But they cover a large strategic area. Guam lies in the middle of
them–a lone outpost which we have never fortified.
Under the Washington Treaty of 1921 we had solemnly agreed not to
add to the fortification of the Philippines. We had no safe naval
bases there, so we could not use the islands for extensive naval
Immediately after this war started, the Japanese forces moved down
on either side of the Philippines to numerous points south of
them–thereby completely encircling the Philippines from north,
south, east and west.
It is that complete encirclement, with control of the air by
Japanese land-based aircraft, which has prevented us from sending
substantial reinforcements of men and material to the gallant
defenders of the Philippines. For forty years it has always been
our strategy–a strategy born of necessity–that in the event of a
full-scale attack on the Islands by Japan, we should fight a
delaying action, attempting to retire slowly into Bataan Peninsula
and Corregidor.
We knew that the war as a whole would have to be fought and won by
a process of attrition against Japan itself. We knew all along
that, with our greater resources, we could ultimately out-build
Japan and ultimately overwhelm her on sea, and on land and in the
air. We knew that, to obtain our objective, many varieties of
operations would be necessary in areas other than the Philippines.
Now nothing that has occurred in the past two months has caused us
to revise this basic strategy of necessity–except that the defense
put up by General MacArthur has magnificently exceeded the previous
estimates of endurance, and he and his men are gaining eternal
glory therefore.
MacArthur’s army of Filipinos and Americans, and the forces of the
United Nations in China, in Burma and the Netherlands East Indies,
are all together fulfilling the same essential task. They are
making Japan pay an increasingly terrible price for her ambitious
attempts to seize control of the whole Asiatic world. Every
Japanese transport sunk off Java is one less transport that they
can use to carry reinforcements to their army opposing General
MacArthur in Luzon.
It has been said that Japanese gains in the Philippines were made
possible only by the success of their surprise attack on Pearl
Harbor. I tell you that this is not so.
Even if the attack had not been made your map will show that it
would have been a hopeless operation for us to send the Fleet to
the Philippines through thousands of miles of ocean, while all
those island bases were under the sole control of the Japanese.
The consequences of the attack on Pearl Harbor–serious as they
were–have been wildly exaggerated in other ways. And these
exaggerations come originally from Axis propagandists; but they
have been repeated, I regret to say, by Americans in and out of
public life.
You and I have the utmost contempt for Americans who, since Pearl
Harbor, have whispered or announced “off the record” that there was
no longer any Pacific Fleet–that the Fleet was all sunk or
destroyed on December 7th–that more than a thousand of our planes
were destroyed on the ground. They have suggested slyly that the
government has withheld the truth about casualties–that eleven or
twelve thousand men were killed at Pearl Harbor instead of the
figures as officially announced. They have even served the enemy
propagandists by spreading the incredible story that ship-loads of
bodies of our honored American dead were about to arrive in New
York harbor to be put into a common grave.

Hillary Clinton May Talk With Spirit Of Eleanor Roosevelt—But Longest Serving First Lady In History Rises From Grave To Protect Trump
February 23, 2019 Sorcha Faal Sorcha Faal
“The broad swath of the Trump-hating media that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government are reduced to reporting the events and revelations of the scandal in which they have been complicit, in a po-faced ho-hum manner to impart to the misinformed public that this is as routine as stock market fluctuations or the burning of an American flag in Tehran… The collapse of this grotesque putsch, under the irresistible pressure of a functioning attorney general and Senate committees that are not hamstrung by NeverTrumpers, will cause a revulsion against the Democratic Party that will be seismic and prolonged. The disgrace of their misconduct is profound and shocking. Those responsible will pay for this, including at the polls.” […]

Fail: Washington Post Hoax On Trump’s “Top Secret Time Travel Project”
The Washington Post bravely risks it all to reveal that by 2016, Donald Trump used his access to Gen. Michael Flynn to quietly direct DARPA, then in secret works with CERN in Switzerland, to commission the first time machine ever constructed. The result? An epic rap battle between Trump and Anne Frank.

Despite its failures, the truth is the press still can save us, and even the shadow elites admit it. In the meantime, don’t count on it. Remember that there is no jailer more powerful than one who can imprison your mind, and that enslavement is the job of the news broadcaster dedicated to creating a fear-based reality and not reflecting life it as it really is.
Remember that citizen journalism works, and never rely on a single source.
Rare Candor from the Corporate Media
“There is no such thing… in America, as an independent press… If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes… Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” John Swinton,New York Times Chief Editor 1880

Beast: The Primordial
The astral and Heroes
Primordial newcomer
Quote for today: "you believe you're on a righteous path. You believe you're a force for good. But you're not."-John Seed, from Far Cry 5.
Heroes are a menace to Beasts. They believe themselves the unquestionable good to the beasts' inhuman evil. In reality, they prove that they can be just as bad as the beasts, sacrificing innocent lives for the sake of killing the monster.
But let's be fair here. Humanity largely believes in the hero's journey, and that monsters deserve death.
Heroes, therefore, are simply going by these beliefs. They believe themselves right because in the eyes of humanity, they ARE right. This is made even worse by the fact that Heroes unconsciously sway the minds of the populace to follow them and validate them. Despite being unaware to it (most of the time), they are able to use the Jungian Astral in a way that beasts simply cannot. As to where Beasts carve out a niche in the primordial dream to become a booming presence that ripples into the astral, Heroes are made by humanity, and Heroes use that connection to control them when they feel ripples caused by Beasts. To as where a beast (specifically his horror) is a personification of Fear that has been largely forgotten by humanity (in its deeper meanings), Heroes are still by and large remembered by humanity. Because of this, Heroes are largely taking on roles that, subjectively, are true. In the astral, they really ARE the Heroes they claim to be.
So what can be done by Beasts to open their eyes to reality?
There are no mechanics for it, but it is shown in a narrative sense that Heroes can be shown the error of their ways. So in the astral landscape, what can Beasts do to convince Heroes of their flaws? Can it be done by emphasizing their Life and more strict adherence to lessons? Can beasts successfully influence the astral to the point Heroes cant wield like a hammer? What becomes of Heroes forced to acknowledge that black and white is often grey, and that they can be the darker blot?
And what happens when a Hero has faced Beasts that have only ever embraced their monstrous natures? Does the astral strengthen the Heroes' role in the story when its proven right by the beast (albeit unintentionally)?
So that's it, just a musing on Heroes. Sorry its rough, this is kinda my first attempt on an essay type post. Hope it's interesting
HelmsDerp
There is a mechanic to revert a Hero to a purely mortal state, but it's tucked away in a big list of powers, many of which are optional rather than inherent: Beasts Incarnate can simply sever a Hero's connection to the Dream.
More helpfully I think Heroes are a fear response embodied. Beasts are fear, and Heroes are the Fight Response. They're the ones who lash out and attempt to destroy the perceived source of fear where most people flee or freeze. They're not any less afraid they just mask it with violence.
(Side note I suppose this makes cults the Fawn response.)
The path to transcending fear is through knowledge and understanding, and that requires one to stop trying to destroy what they're afraid of and study it (with an eye to more than just more efficient means of destruction). To even have a chance here a Beast would have to arouse a Hero's curiosity. Challenge their worldview in a way that makes intrigued rather than defensive. Which is, you know, a pretty tough thing to do when their existence is centered around lashing out at perceived threats.
A Hero would have to be open to learning, and that's made difficult by the way the Primoridal Dream seems to make them existentially uncomfortable. Trying to ease the discomfort becomes their main priority, even as it tends to lead them into a worsening spiral

Doctoral Dissertation Research: Making Democracy Work for Women: Gender Gaps in Political Participation and Representation
Despite legal guarantees of equality, stark gaps in political participation and representation persist between men and women in democracies around the world. Evidence from advanced industrialized democracies shows that when women participate in higher numbers as voters (e.g. after the extension of suffrage rights), it produces policy shifts in line with their political preferences. However, it is unclear whether similar outcomes result in developing contexts where women?s voting rights are guaranteed in the constitution as a result of elite, rather than popular consensus. In this project, the PI draws on evidence from a developing democracy with persistent gender inequality, to show that voting rights are at best unevenly exercised by women. Certain additional conditions must be present for increased participation to produce improved representation: notably the independence of women's vote and the credible potential for collective action by women. By identifying the conditions under which women's preferences are equally represented in policymaking, the project findings can inform policy aimed to achieve women's political equality and improve the representation of marginalized voices in politics.

Not at home at home
By Pradip Phanjoubam
(A slightly modified version of this article appeared in the opinion column of the Crest edition of The Times of India on Saturday, May 12.)
The suicide by 21 year old management student, Dana M Sangma from Meghalaya at Amity University, Punchgaon campus, Gurgaon, on April 24, close on the heels of the violent death of 19 year old architecture student Richard Loitam from Manipur at Acharya NRV School of Architecture, Bangalore, on April 18 have once again brought to the fore the vexed question whether the Northeast has emotionally integrated with the spirit of India, and more relevantly, whether the India that supposedly represents this spirit has accepted the Northeast.
Dana was apparently humiliated in the examination hall for allegedly cheating and Richard was beaten up by hostel mates for the frivolous reason of toggling TV channels during an IPL match.
That Dana turned out to be the niece of the chief minister of Meghalaya, Mukul Sangma, has made the case high profile, this notwithstanding, it is the spontaneous sense of widespread outrage amongst students from the Northeast studying and living outside the Northeast which should be a cause for concern. Probably dozens die in similar circumstance each year so why all the ado in these two cases?
Are people from the Northeast discriminated in the rest of India or is the Northeast being overly sensitive? Probably it is both, each feeding on the other, perpetuating the ugly cycle. The discrimination would not necessarily be overt. It would be more about a cultural milieu which nurtured the popular image of the Indian in which the ethnic profile of the Northeast is an uneasy fit.
For most Northeasterners, the existential question, “who am I?” has had to be renegotiated the day he stepped across the Siliguri corridor or Chicken’s Neck as it is also popularly known, the narrow strip of land wedged between Bangladesh and Bhutan, which connects the Northeast to sub-continental India.
Manipur’s case, though understandably peculiar to itself in many ways, should be illustrative of this alienation. For many middleclass young men and women here, especially among the Hindu Meiteis who have grown up in surroundings of devout Vaishnav culture, with the unwritten will of elders wanting their cremation ashes to be immersed in the holy waters of the Ganga or in the sea at Jaganath Puri, the question “who am I” begins to be troubling normally at college age, which is about the time their parents send them away from for higher studies in better political and academic climes of other Indian states. Till then, most would have had no real problem in believing themselves to be Indians without even the need to reflect on what it means to be Indian.
They would hence cheer for the Indian hockey and football teams without reservation. Cricket is still a little alien, although its fan following is now growing. They celebrate Holi and Durga Puja and other Hindu festivals, and thus share a sense of loose community with Hindu India. Their sense of a letdown when they discover there is more to the Indian identity than they believed it was is often acute. Many end up embittered.
For many Northeast Christian communities, the sense of affiliation to the idea of India is a substantially different equation, for India although politically secular, culturally is still predominantly the land of the Hindus. A good majority of the Nagas in Nagaland, for instance would even today say they are not Indians. But there is a finer distinction here. The “Indian” that the Naga say he is not, is an imagined ethnic category and not always a citizenship status. So when the average Naga says he is not Indian, he generally means he is not the non-Mongoloid, generally darker skinned plainsman that he considers is the ethnic profile of an Indian.
Is the North Easterner an Indian then? On the face of it, yes. He is a citizen of India. He fulfils all the obligations of being an Indian citizen and in turn enjoys all of the Republic’s guarantees, although with some terrible hiccups like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. But the trouble is, being an Indian does not end here. It begins at this point. Quite to the contrary of what the constitution defines, “Indianness” is often intuitively projected as a primordial state of belonging to a unique cultural phenomenon. Anybody therefore can become an Indian citizen but not an Indian. He has to be born one. The trouble is, a good part of the Northeast is outside this cultural phenomenon. This also explains why overseas travellers from the Northeast are often called upon to qualify their claims of being Indians every time they hold out their Indian passports.
To invoke Benedict Anderson, between the reality of the Indian State and the “imagining” that gives it its National character, still falls a shadow. It is a cruel vindication of Anderson again that Richard was assaulted for disrespecting cricket, a widely shared ritual of this “imagined community”.

Creation Of Districts – A Big Step Towards Disintegration Of Manipur
By Jimmy Pamei
Manipur is like tiny India with varied communities, colorful traditions and diverse tastes. Though there were tensions from time to time, the state had managed to hammer out solutions and so continue to exist as a harmonious colorful state. There had been various ethnic
clashes in the state. But they all limp back to normalcy as time goes by. One community that often haunts the most upon the state integrity is the Naga community. When they do, they usually strike at the foundation of the state. Their independence movement or the so called ‘Framework Agreement’, ‘Alternative Arrangement’ or whatever stirs the water of Manipur. The latest move by the state in creating 7 new districts is a new salt rubbed to the unhealed wounds of the Naga’s sentiments.
In states like Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal new districts or state were created on the basis of administrative convenience, population size (about 1 million for a district), distance of district headquarter, urbanization factor etc. However the Manipur Government recent move in creating new districts was in the garb of administrative convenience, but the real intention seems to be political. And this step is somewhat likens to ‘fools rush in where angels fear to tread’. And it is conjectured that the decision makers saw the danger while taking such bold steps, and that they have not scan the state thoroughly to see beyond their political walls. The move was bold, but is not the wisest. In order to appease one group, the whole state is plunged into the wagon of suffering.
For a long time some community have been clamoring for separation or severing of ties with Manipur state for various reasons. The Nagas in particular have their own point and the desperate hope of integrating their kith and kin as envisaged in their pursuit for sovereignty or whatever, and the so called ‘Framework Agreement’ of 2015 have given much fillip to their hope – for separation from the present Manipur state. That they ‘mean business’ is oft repeated in their various statements that ‘not an inch’ should be touched while creating new districts, especially referring to Sadar Hills and Jiribam. The All
Meitei Club Organization Manipur (AMCOM) and Meitei Youth Front South East Asia (MYFSEA) too have stated that the Manipur State Darbar Act 1932 should be looked into while creating new districts to protect the Meitei agricultural land.
But the state government has blatantly flexed its muscle by creating not only two but 7 districts in Manipur.
While seeming to take revenge against one group or organization, and while flexing the muscle to indicate dominance the other end of the state is put on the furnace. The situation now looks as if it is going to end up like the comic of Tom and Jerry.
Several reasons can be cited, besides the ethnic issues, as a writing on the wall for disintegration of Manipur from being a single entity.
The administration of the former or old districts was so bad and pathetic. Government schemes did not reached the target groups, there were instances much red tapism, rampant corruption in appointment to jobs and schemes distribution, nepotism, favouritism, and apathy towards the tribal communities have been lingering issue for many decades. For example the pathetic road condition of all the hill districts of the state speaks volume about it. They are so pathetic.
Who is responsible for such condition in this so called welfare state? What about the appointment to various posts through written or oral test? How many genuine people have been? In addition to all these doldrums what is the meaning of the attempt to inaugurate an incomplete project? What is the meaning of Passing Bills while some communities are deadly against it? The intention could be for benefit of one community, but the affected community has kick back so badly that the very foundation of state integrity is already at risk now.
What is the meaning of ‘breaking ceasefire ground rules while Manipur has said ceasefire doesn’t extend to the state’? What is the meaning of the valley community trying to become ‘Tribal’ people while attacking the hill Tribal community? Didn’t this valley community have sanskritized so high up in the hierarchy and have acted ‘holier than thou’ for decades and have they not treated the tribal communities as the ‘pariah’ for ages?
The creation of new districts was, for sure, not really for administrative convenience. There are several reasons for that argument. Even the former districts do not have sufficient officers and doctors and specialists and engineers. And even those appointed to the post at the hill district do not come to report at their stations.
What is the meaning of increasing the number of district when the earlier districts were not administered efficiently and conveniently?
What is that convenience for administration now? Therefore the logical conclusion is that the intention behind new districts creation is simply either political or communal. If it is political it is at the cost of communalism. If it is at the cost of communalism it is communalism in toto. Therefore the impact is predictable: it is another move towards disintegration of the state.
However there is also solution to every problem. Now since the discussion has filter down to the issue of communalism, the last hope for regaining trust of every community is to listen to their stories.
The government should have, at least in principle, listened to the complaints of the stakeholders while creating new districts. And that can still be done at this crucial stage. One biggest danger in the disintegration of Manipur is the Naga issue. Their struggle for the so called ‘sovereignty’ or ‘alternative arrangement’ or the ‘supra state’ ‘framework agreement’ and the likes have given this community that false or true hope. And when such hopes are already indicating danger, instead of pacifying them the Government action of instigating communal feeling is adding strength for their assertion. Instead give coax them and assure them with genuine promises, and faith that measures will be taken up to protect their interest. Make good use of the so called Goodwill Commission or other intermediaries who are willing to give peace back a chance. Recall those old traditions where the valley community has to engage the tribal people to complete some of the rituals. Actually everyone and every communities were one people in the first place.

75th ARAE and FEARA Regattas
In its 150 year, Madras Boat Club will be hosting 75th ARAE Regatta on its waters. It is a historic event for the club and for the Regatta.
Brief History of ARAE
The Sport of Rowing is by no means new to the East. The foundation of the Calcutta Rowing Club took place in 1858 and Madras Boat Club in 1867. By the end of 19th century there were flourishing rowing clubs in many of the Principal Cities of the East. On account of the distances, Interclub regattas were practically far and few. In July 1929, L. H. Macklin of the Calcutta Rowing Club spoke of his vision of an Eastern Henley. The seed took roots and less than four years later blossomed into the Amateur Rowing Association of the East.
The Founder members of the Association were- The Bombay Gymkhana Club, The Calcutta Rowing Club, The Karachi Boat Club, The Madras Boat Club, The Rangoon Boat Club and the Royal Connaught Boat Club. There are today more than 14 affiliated clubs from India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Hong Kong and UAE.
The first regatta was held at Poona in 1933, Fours was won by the Madras Boat Club and it is on record that a ‘Pair Oared Race’ was held, was also won by Madras Boat Club. In 1935, the then Viceroy, H. E. the Earl of Willingdon, presented the Association with its first Challenge Trophy for "Coxed Four Oared" race. In the same year a trophy for "Pair Oars" was presented by the then Chairman of the ARAE Mr. A. V. Venables of Calcutta and a "Sculling Trophy” was presented by Mr. L. H. Macklin also of Calcutta.
The Hooghly Cup was presented to the Association in 1956 by Calcutta Rowing Club as an additional Trophy for overall team Championship.
The Far Eastern Amateur Rowing Association (FEARA) was started in 1954 by Clubs in the Far East i.e., Hong Kong, Manila etc. For many years, FEARA held their independent regattas. Around the turn of the century, ARAE and FEARA merged to hold a common regatta for the clubs of the East and Far East. The ARAE is a Open category Regatta for Men and Women while and FEARA is for Masters (35 and above) and Super Master (50 and above for Men / 40 and above for Women).
Trophies :
Willingdon Rowing Trophy - for the Four Oared Racing (Men 4+)
Venables Trophy - for the Coxswain less Pairs Event (Men 2-)
Macklin Silver Challenge - for the Single Scull Event (Men 1x)
Hoogly Cup - to the most successful club
Adyar Cup - overall Women’s team
At the end of ARAE / FEARA, crews of participating clubs mix and row for Baird’s Trophy. Baird’s Trophy is an easy oars event allowing crew from various clubs to row together in the same boat. This event is followed by a sumptuous lunch to bring the curtains down.

WHERE'S THE BEEF IN CARL EDWARDS' "PUNISHMENT"?
Carl Edwards admits he intentionally rammed Brad Keselowski's car Sunday in the closing laps of the Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, causing Kes's No. 12 Dodge to spin, take flight, flip upside down and crushing half of the top of the car (fortunately it was the right side of the car, not the driver's compartment -- leading to another fortuitous result: Keselowski was shaken but not injured).
And for such an egregious act, Edwards is placed on three weeks of "probation."
That's it. No fine, no suspension, no points deduction -- no other penalty whatsoever.
That's right, absolutely nothing else in terms of being "punished."
NASCAR president Mike Helton said that there were actually two episodes at work here. The first was Edwards' actions. The second was how Keselowski's car unexpectedly went airborn -- something that even Edwards sheepishly admitted he didn't expect to happen when he essentially did a PIT maneuver on Keselowski's ride (if you don't know what a PIT maneuver is, watch some police chases online or on TV and you'll find out soon enough).
So, instead of focusing on the core of the problem -- that Edwards was the aggressor and sent Keselowski flying -- NASCAR has chosen to consider it a more serious and egregious situation that Keselowski's car caught lift at 190 mph and turned Atlanta Motor Speedway's fast racing surface into a takeoff runway.
Let's not put the cart before the horse here. The facts are pretty straightforward: if Edwards doesn't do what he did, Keselowski doesn't wind up the way he did -- regardless of the fact that his car wasn't "supposed" to lift off the ground.
We've already seen the same situation several times in the last few years, particularly at Talladega, where cars have gotten into the air after being hit from behind or from the side. Edwards knows that as well as anybody, as it was Keselowski that gave Edwards the ride of his life a year ago at 'Dega, almost taking out the frontstretch fencing and injuring seven people in the process. Had it not been for good fortune, many more could have been hurt or worse.
NASCAR knows it has a problem with cars lifting up and off into the air. That's why it plans on replacing the rear wing element and return to the old tried-and-true rear spoiler later this season. But given what we saw Sunday at Atlanta, and the fact we have an upcoming off-weekend, wouldn't the prudent thing be to replace the wings with spoilers right now -- particularly in light of what happened with the Edwards-Keselowski imbroglio?
NASCAR's "have at it, boys" philosophy has morphed into a "hands off" policy, it would seem. Even some of NASCAR's hardest and most aggressive drivers, like Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick, were nothing short of stunned by NASCAR's action on Tuesday.
Or should I say, lack of action.
I'm not trying to be a maudlin drama queen or conspiracy theorist or anything of the sort, but unless NASCAR starts being a bit more astute at the way it hands out penalties -- in the past, it's penalized guys like Dale Earnhardt Jr. for inadvertently cursing on TV, or Jeff Gordon simply pushing Matt Kenseth (with his hands, not his car) -- something bad is wound to happen.
You know what I mean by that, too. Something bad equals someone gets hurt (or worse), be it a driver, crew member or fan. I would think we have come a long way since Dale Earnhardt lost his life nearly 10 years ago. But by turning such a blind eye to Edwards' actions, we may very well have regressed in some of the progress we've made since Earnhardt's death.
As I said in the headline, where's the beef in NASCAR's "punishment" of Edwards? The answer is simple: the beef is from the fans, the beef is Edwards' blatant ramming of Keselowski, and the beef is NASCAR's almost non-existent penalty in the offing.
Actually, scratch that last one. That's not beef, that's pure bull.
By Jerry Bonkowski at Tuesday, March 09, 2010
You are a maudlin drama queen!
Boys have at it? Are they, could they actually be serious? That'd be like the NFL saying they've been handing out too many personal fouls lately that have been making the show less interesting or something, so they're going to let the players "police themselves." WHAT? No credible sporting even can have the competitors policing themselves, are you kidding? Let's say Kurt Bush is 20 points behind Johnson at Homestead this year, with 10 laps to go. Get Sam Hornish to take Johnson out, problem solved. Then, does Mark Martin take Bush out? I'm NOT exaggerating, apparently it's now OK to take someone out during a race, is that not correct? That simply DOESN'T WORK, the sport turns quickly into a demolishon derby! They've all but said it's OK to behave this shamefully. This makes no sense whatsoever. Mayhem results, and the drivers, Carl included, are just pawns in this show, contrived for the most blood-thirsty among us. They might as well hire Jerry Springer to replace Helton, he has far more experience with this type of "entertainment." If they want us to take this as a serious "sport" it is going to have to behave like any serious sport has to behave, with a respectable amount of law and order. Allowing what happened Sunday to happen turns this "sport" into a joke, immediately. This is sad, I'm a big NASCAR fan.
"I'm a big NASCAR fan."
Apparently not.
Well NASCAR just pushed the door wide open.....
They just told the drivers that it's perfectly acceptable to put tour fellow drivers and fans lives at risk for the betterment of their TV ratings.
Just another one of NASCAR's long list of double standards to protect their poster boys and super teams.............
Ok..going the drama queen route...I get the feeling half the drivers think it was justified and the car going airborne was the ONLY problem..and the other half are stunned ... So right there is a problem. If NASCAR is giving the "go at it boys" message..what does this send to the up and coming drivers? Doesn't it lend to having more "Brads" coming into the series? I mean as it stands now the rookies wishing to make it to CUP will have to ramp it up..how can they enter the series if they don't have "their big boy panties on" and race the veterans the way the veterans have been given the green flag to race them? You can't have it both ways..you can't tell the rookies to "honor thy father"..and then give the "fathers" the green light to take out anyone they deem in their way! This should be interesting..and maybe a little more then chaotic. Hey you think Brad is aggressive...I can't wait till Stephen Wallace enters the CUP Series..and given the free pass the drivers have now...it should be MORE then interesting..it could turn out to be a hell hotter then NASCAR could ever imagine!! But wait!!! I am going to assume this free pass extends to the Nationwide and Truck Series...so maybe hell will be here sooner then we think!!!
Great Call by Nascar, when I watch races, it "better be more dangerous" than the state highway I just got off from!
Iam tired 'Tumping the Safety Card" everytime their is a wreck!
I dont go to see anyone get hurt, fan or driver, but also if it happens,it happens, life goes on! I have seen more danger on the highway we drive on,look at all the drucks leaving a Nascar event! so until Nascar races get more dangerous than our highway system, I will find the courage to attend!!!!!
Regarding the Nationwide and Truck Series, I was wondering the same thing... so now Mike Skinner and Todd Bodine have a free pass to take out anyone they want, on purpose if necessary, no penalties or fines... really? This would be THE new and most effective strategy to win the championship, take out whomever is ahead of you in points! It's just one of them racin' deals, boys have at it!
Well we know Cousin Carl is one of B. France's koolade boys......"You scratch my back and I will scratch yours".
And we all know how desperate Nascar is for attention since most of the fans are leaving in droves!
Aloha Jerry,
Come on give Carl a break, he did what they have been doing for years, only this time stupid aerodynamics on the cot put an exclamation point on the simple spin out. If Krashalotski could drive or at least have some respect then it would not have happened.

By combining performance, sound and text, this video work questions the influence of the character of the movement in de-integrating, reintegrating and reinforcing the understanding of the written language.
Informed by the notions of body memory, mind–body duality, authentic movement and somatic experiencing, work examines interrelations between body movements and sentences which are created within context of stationary behaviour.Sources of the text are 2 categories of the google analytics: most googled How to question and most shared site on social networks (referring buzzsumo.com) about the most searched term in 2017. Another source of the text is a script of the biographical film that shows a person in the moment of sudden losing ability to move.
Movements are based on Laban movement analysis, the technique that all human movements characterizes by: space (direct or indirect), weight (strong or light) and time (sudden or sustained).
Most common source of knowledge in contemporary society is content provided on Internet. Development of technology provides practices like online shopping, computer games, online sex, work from home, social networks…, which all reduce the need for everyday body movement.
By associating sentences with body movements, work stands as a comment on the process of generating meaning from the perceived world. Which is the contribution of the movement and which of the language to this process remains ambiguous.
Body as a human’s feature and its impact on the identity remains unrevealed. This raises the question of undiscovered possibilities of physical engagement as a way of existence, a means of cognition and development. Interest to deal with this possibilities is prompted by the context of rapidly development of AI’s potentials, like a way to communicate or to solve problems.
The work was made as a part of the CreArt AiR residency at Bluecoat – Liverpool’s centre for the contemporary arts.
