He's tall, in his early thirties, handsome guy for his age, still single. He is a bit of an eccentric, known for his charity events and social projects, and the top bachelor to catch yet remained elusive, he had dated a few women, some say he's picky but others whispers behind his back that he probably swing the other way too and is still in the closet.
『 Debonair, eccentric, elusive, impulsive』
A lot of women are after him for his good looks and for his certain flair for always looking so stylish and modern, he's got this certain aura about him that makes him so gallant looking, he is always curious about things, wants to analyze and find out what makes it tick. He is a bit eccentric, some would think in the borderline of being weird, he's a collector of things and some say he would go an extra mile to always get what he wants. He's OC, obsessive-compulsive, he hates people who disrupt order, especially his. He doesn't like people getting close, always keeping people at an arm's length, some would say he is afraid of commitment, but in reality, he is truly a virgin and is confusing.
『 The Ups 』
o Drinking wine, has a wine cellar of different vintages
『 The Downs 』
o Doesn't like horror film
o When people touch his stuff without even asking
『 Weapons of choice 』
He's got no abilities, only his good heart. He would exert effort to help others and be there for the people he cared about. He may have his flaws, but he is a good person. He sometimes put his impulsiveness to good use.
『 Once upon a time... 』
He financed the research and project of The Lab, which he got a first-hand choice of androids which he can convert into service droids, but to introduce his side of the company he wants to find a defective droid which he can enhance and can be the ambassador of the new line for his company.
There is something about relic machines that attracts Sho, kinda reflects what kind of era he was born in, he is old school but yes his company is high end and modern he wants to convert something classic, might something old but still can be some revisions. But just then he saw it, it was slightly hidden and it kind of look like it was going to be discarded, he saw the clerk who was pushing these crates out.
"Excuse me, sir. Are these androids for auction or are they going to scrap? Because I think I would like to purchase one of your models, at any price, just so I want discreet privacy about this transaction, I would even pay you for your time." He said.

Description: Kain was a well decorated soldier in the Black Operations division with the name Saber, He was only twenty five when he was selected for a certain assignment. Unfortunately this assignment was his government betraying him and turning him into an Android even downloading his mind into his once human body. Somehow Kain managed to keep himself no matter how many times he was reprogrammed. He was rescued by old friends from his division, but was lost. He was found by a complete random stranger and after bouncing between owners because he was 'defective' he was sold to the shop he is currently presiding in, thirty years have passed and he is collecting dust. Unable to age and frozen in time....a relic compared to the new Androids of pure metal and no emotion...his true nature unknown to all and his secret alone.

-He Loves to paint and Draw.
Downs:

-Hates Seafood
Sighing he had had enough, He had packed a trolley with deliveries for spare parts, at least he could make a bit of money off them. However, one model was something no matter what he wouldn't even get a cent off. On the cart was one particularly human-looking robot who even had scars on his tanned skin that looked like he had been fighting and realistic skin, hair and eyelashes. Whoever made the thing was talented but no matter how many times he sold the damn thing he would have to refund the customer and be given it back.
The thing was so defective he had it for thirty years sitting in a corner of the clearance section, the Androids features covered in a thick layer of dust which covered its features mostly. He was just pushing the cart to the back when he was stopped by a male in his thirties. He seemed to be interested in one of the models on the cart, blinking he looked to the man then moved back "which one are you interested in sir...I will give you a good deal since I was selling em for parts" he said moving aside.
Sho watched in utter fascination as the man had washed and cleaned the android. He was indeed a fine specimen of his kind, extinct and authentic they don't make this kind of model anymore so most of his parts are probably obsolete But still, he was quietly fascinated, he cannot take his eyes off him, following the shop keeper's hand as he moves efficiently, and drying him off.
"I know how unique he is, but I am pretty sure I have some old school mechanics who can probably get him up and running, I have no desire to make him into a newer model, I want him as he is. If I had plans to buy a new android, there are a dime a dozen that is being sold, but I am paying you for what he is truly worth like I said, they don't make his kind anymore."
When he was showed his charging docks, Sho nodded, "That is fine. But it sounds like you are not truly that hesitant to get rid of him, and yet you seem to take care of him carefully. Set your mind at ease, I will not return him, otherwise, I would not offer to take him off your hands." he added.
He moved towards the Android and glided his hand towards the android's arm, just to feel the uniqueness of its features, it does feel like real human skin.
Viper-Sagara
The older man sighed as he was called out, "you are right...though I can't keep him I respect how unique he is...he is a relic of his kind but...in a way I feel like he is like a son to me...no one has seen his insides but he must be hard to get his parts...you will have to activate him to open him up" he explained. The robot looked so human he couldn't bare to mistreat him.
"Inside the box is a paper with his instructions he is back to original setting...basically you plug him in to charge and say 'Kain Master registration' he will open his eyes and ask you to say your name....after you do he will only be turned on or off if you order it...no one will be able to control him but you...also he will fully boot up...that's usually when people find they started having problems..." he said softly.
Reactions: Sky Reed
Sho let out a soft chuckle. "I understand, I think it is how they say, you cannot teach old dogs new tricks," he said. "It is how I am, I am old school, so it is hard for me to comply and go with the flow, as the young ones would often advise me to as if they already know life's lessons when they are still in diapers," he said.
"I will treat him with respect." he said, though, listening to him and hearing that he might be difficult to handle, "I think I will cross the bridge when I get there." He said, and assuring the man, "It would be okay. I have handled people and android with a feisty attitude before, we'll see." he said, he was thinking he can do this the hard way, he has ways dealing with attitude problems.
The shop keeper nodded "well I wish you luck... and I trust him in your care..." he said softly as he got the two men to gently lift the Android into his box. Lying him inside the crate like a body in a coffin he placed the top layer of foam over him before shutting the box securely. "Well he is all ready for you...have fun...and I warned you..." he said before continuing to wheel his trolley of remaining scrap out the back.
Sho took him home. Like a kid with a new toy, he waited patiently as they unloaded the crate and brought him to his spacious bedroom, he didn't want it delivered to the showroom, he would want to play with it first before he would probably decide if he wants him displayed publicly or not.
But for now, he wants him all to himself. He plugged him up and so eager knowing he might play with him so quickly, he decided to do some paperwork since he was bringing spare parts too, he went down to his shop and talked to his staff briefly that he might bring in a rustic older model that he might need tweaking but for now he told them he is still thinking if he is acquiring it or not.
When he was done, it was an hour when he went back to his bedroom; he followed the instructions to the letter. "Kain Master registration, waiting for the machine to open its eyes." Like a boy with his new toy, his heart is thumping in his chest.
Once back at his new masters home the two men opened the box, one of them fetching a large soft chair in the corner of their bosses room next to a power point. The plug was so old they needed an adapter which luckily there was one in the box, it took the two of them to lift the Android and set him in the chair, it looked like a normal man had fallen asleep sitting in it.
They left their boss so he could finally be alone with his purchase, wondering why the man was so excited by such an old model. After an hour of charging when those words were uttered his eyes slowly opened as he sat upright in the chair, they were blank and not lit. This was obviously a sleep mode like state so the owner could register.
The Android just stared at Sho, his mouth opening "Please say your full name" he uttered, his voice sounded like he was under hypnosis. The young looking robots lips even moved with each word like a normal males would, the droid waiting for what he requested.
"Shotaro Kamui," he replied, waiting expectantly as his new android come alive.
He just wondered why such a model had been neglected for a long time. He looks elegant in Sho's eyes, especially how it was made, they don't make such a model anymore, he was told that this series is a fighter.
And judging from the tone of his muscles, he is a top of the line during his time. If this was a soldier, and maybe one time a human, he can understand how it would be hard for someone to accept that he is now being controlled that his body is no longer his own. He doesn't know how he would react about that, but so far, he thinks he would not have a problem with that, giving him some free will of his own. He waited as he can hear a slight hum, as the android started to reboot, and reset to factory settings and acknowledge him as his new master.
At hearing Sho's name the Android shut its eyes still sitting up as it began to hum, processing the name and soon the whirring of it coming to life could be heard. Slowly its eyes opened but this time the Iris was glowing, the Aqua orbs now showing even how detailed they were as he blinked looking about as if to process where he was. His chest even moved as if it was breathing, the male frowning. This always happened when he was re-activated, he hated being turned off in one place only to find himself in a completely different place from before. Also his sense of time was always off.
It was then he noticed he wasn't alone, This was obviously the man who just registered his name so this was the latest of his long list of owners. "If your gonna try and sleep with me I will break your fingers" he stated flatly, the last time he was activated in a strange mans room he was lying in the mans bed naked with his new master mounting his head.
"Shotaro is it...?what year is it...last I remember it was 2009" he said remaining cautious.
Sho chuckled, attitude much? He asked himself. He smiled broadly, not really offended by the man's comment. "I will not try or even attempt to have sex with you. I didn't purchase you as a sex robot, there are far better model for that, if I am interested in that sort of thing." he said, explaining slowly.
"As per your clothing, I will deal with that as soon as I know your size, I apologize that your old master did not provide me with any other clothing except for the boxer shorts you are wearing now, you are free to choose from my closet if you want to put some clothes on."
"You can call me Mr. Kamui, or with just the two of us, you can call me Sho. This is 2019, I know you are rustic model, and no longer manufactured fighter series. You are a classic, I want to learn from you, since I own an android security system, I want to launch a new line of security android, and I want to pick your brains and see if I can pattern some of my new security from your old unit." he explained.
"The walk in closet is in there feel free to get up and put some clothes on." he said.
Kain remained seated, he smirked when the man's first words to him were he could get better robots for such things if that was what he wanted. "Good...last man who woke me in a bedroom lost his man bits...don't want to do the same again" he stated. "As for the lack of clothes that old man always clothes me with what he can...whenever I'm brought back I'm always stripped naked..." he mentioned as he stood.
The man didn't seem threatening but he wouldn't let his guard down, looking over when he heard the mans motives he slightly scowled, "you want to try and model your new bots after me" he repeated as he walked to the walk in. He wasn't long as he came out in a black suit with a white button up shirt. putting on the pants first. "Unless your willing to butcher other humans you got tough luck replicating me..." he said bluntly. "I was killed and remade by my government... in everyone's eyes I was never human...hell now that its 2019 I have been like this for thirty years...and I'm sorry but I am not letting you look inside me...I would rather avoid what happened to me repeating..." he said serious as he finished dressing in the shirt and jacket.
Turning he crossed his arms "so if your not happy with me you can deactivate me and send me back...because if that's all you want I am not giving it to you" he added with finality. He was not helping some corporate dog try and do what happened to him. To live never to age, never to change, to be treated like an object...no one deserved this life.
Sho put his hands up, "Hey, are you always this arrogant? Even as a human?" he asked. "I am not going to dismantle you and take you apart, as I said I want to learn from you. Fighting is something you cannot copy any more all these martial arts schools or other forms of schools that give up combat training, it is still different learning the real basic fighting from another instructor who is old school like me," he added.
"I am from a generation who grew up fighting in the street to save your turf. Now adays people rely so much on technology that they grew lazy and didn't want to do hard work or manual labor. I want a working robot who has free will that can function on their own without actually being programmed, surely you understand wanting to talk to a person who is guarding you than a robot who is there to give you calculations how to save your own life or destroy everything and even probably injuring you by the process of trying to save you because it cannot think on its own. And no, I don't wan to do coding either, look at how we are talking now, I want the same for my new life of security system that doesn't really look like robots." he said, hoping that the android would understand what he meant.
"Its not arrogance if I can do it Mr Kamui..." he said simply as he fixed his tie, looking over he shrugged "I don't know much of the last thirty years Sir...in actual fact I'm, older than you....I would be fifty if I aged...unfortunately I am stuck forever to look twenty five... and the last thirty years I have only been active a total of five weeks..." he said softly. Turning this man seemed to want to more so talk than anything else, relaxing he sighed. "Well I don't know anything about society since I haven't been active...so forgive me if these days my behavior is primitive...but you can't blame me for being like this if every owner I have had has wanted me for either something perverted or to dismantle me" he said honestly.
Walking back to his chair he sat and picked up the cable plugging it back into the back of his neck, he needed more time to recharge and since they were talking he could do both. "Well you want to know...I have been trained in seven different arts of fighting including Kick Boxing, Jujitsu, Ninjutsu, Taekwondo, Swordsmanship which is modern styles and Kejustu which is Japanese old style, Marine Corp Martial arts and street fighting" he explained. "I'm also proficient with most firearms but I guess I might need re training in that manner if guns have changed these days" he confessed.
Looking up to the man he looked to him frowning on confusion, "but tell me...you must have bought me for more than just talking...why am I really here other than teaching you as you call it?" he asked. "Also you can't really program what I have...my free will is not a program" he added, he was human so this was already in him...this free will Sho wanted was not something any computer could create nor tamper with as the other masters he had learned.
This is a smart android, he was thinking, he behaves more of a human than of an android. "Yes, I know free will is not a program but your ability to know that you still need to charge more, change your clothes, you are conversing with me like a human. That is the kind of things you can't just reprogram into another android, or make copies of, I would really need your help in the programming department to teach new dogs old tricks," he said and chuckled at his corny jokes.
"I would need an assistant, someone who would not betray me, use me, corrupt me. And humans are susceptible to temptation, they will betray me with the right amount of money, I know as your new master, you would be loyal to me, with that being said, I think you are the right person for the job the only difference we got is that you have machines inside of you and mine is organs and heartbeat, but I am pretty sure that would not affect your judgment."
"You might also be one of the obsolete androids, with rare parts that cannot be replaced but I think if I really wanted to, I can always find another android of your variety that would be worth more than I paid for you if I really wanted to. But as of now, I have you and all I need is you." He added.
"So, what do you think of that idea?" he asked.
This man was just like the others, his hints on his origin once again were not believed. Of course it was hard to believe such a thing that the government killed some soldiers to make them into loyal machines of war. He left it and listened, however when he heard that he was so easily replaceable he couldn't help but frown.
The man like the rest found him as an object to be replaced if needed, would anyone ever see he was born into this world not made. Sighing he looked away. "You are my master now....I can't betray you...but I have my limits...I'm not some object you can dispose of..." he said bitterly. "Since your asking all I'm seeing is you will use me till you tire of me or I break then you will toss me out" he said sighing.
"But I have no choice do I...I want to not be turned off again...and you have that power...I would rather not waste more of my life in a coma" he added as he leaned back in the chair.
"So...as long as I agree I will do it" he said bluntly, in a way it hurt. He missed feeling his heart pound in his chest when he got angry, the blood rushing through his veins, he couldn't cry when he was frustrated or lost... he felt empty. Pushing it aside he looked to Sho, "I will plug myself in to charge every night...I only need three hours do you need me today?".
Sho was a little confusing at first, then reach to take his arm. "Hey, that is not what I meant, please don't misunderstand. I was saying is you are special, you are not something I would just discard if I have no need for you, or use you as scrap, and find another droid of your series," he said and sighed.
"You are special, Kain. I didn't disregard your background, or I am not sympathetic to your situation, I cannot do anything about it anymore, but what I want to say is, I would try to make you as independent as much as you want. To me you are human. And if you need anything for your maintenance as a droid, we will figure something out, we can always get parts if we need it. But as I have said, if I have needed a droid for experiments, and to control and discard, I would not bring them to my own house, or my own bedroom, there are tons of droids for different things, to me you will co-exist with me as my personal assistant, as a human. Does this make it clearer?" he asked, hoping that Kain finally understand.
Kain was quite surprised when Sho touched him, however he let it happen since it seemed innocent enough. Sho's latest explanation made a lot more sense than his last, his message much more clear.
The look on Kains face was one of surprise, he had no idea how to react to this treatment after so long. Thinking as he was asked if he understood he looked to him much more relaxed than he had been.
"I...understand...I'm sorry I misunderstood...." he began, "after recieving certain treatment for so long you tend to get use to expecting it coming....I will try to be less...abrasive" he seemed to be much more calmer now as he let Sho keep his hands where they were, if he was being treated well he didn't see any harm in letting the man closer to touch him as long as it was appropriate.
This man or machine is his. He was so amazed, that he can't stop touching him. But given the history, this man is not very fond of being manhandled, he removed his hand. "It's alright. I am just amazed that you are finally here. When I first saw you, I don't want the shopkeeper to even clean you, but he has to show me how it is done. But I don't trust just his words, " he started and looked at Kain again.
"Do you need anything? Are you hungry? And if you don't mind, there is a day bed in the other room, this is my room, I would like to keep you in here for now, since human maids or caretakers are always curious, they might tinker with your charging station, I rather have you in here, and if there is someone cleaning, I would always be around to oversee things. But if you need things, let me know." he added.
"This is your home now, and I hope your permanent one," he added.
And pointing to himself, "In here, alone with just us, I am your partner, your companion, but outside, at work, I am Mr. Kamui to everyone else and yes outside for you too."
Kain was glad the man didn't overly touch him too much, this was new so it would be a day by day thing he would have to build upon. Hearing his reasons for having him in the room he understood quite well, it wasn't abnormal since it had happened to him countless times before.
"I do prefer to lie down when charging....I do tend to sleep while doing so...perhaps I could for now sleep in your bed till we find a better arrangement... " he had noticed there was another power point by the bed side.
"Although I am a machine I can eat my stomach just literally burns the food like a furnace for fuel...I can even taste it too" he explained.
"But it's more for pleasure than a need" he confessed, before letting the man continue. Hearing of the partner thing he couldn't help but blush looking away in a bashful manner, "your making it sound like I'm a lover when you put it that way" he stammered the man not seeming like the type who was into other males.

The District Court agreed with Appellees, declaring this portion of the law void, and the Virginia State Board of Pharmacy (Appellants) appeals.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. Commercial speech, like other forms of speech, is protected speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. But, commercial speech may be regulated provided that they are justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech, that they serve a significant governmental interest, and in doing so they leave open ample alternative channels for communication of the information.
Points of Law - Legal Principles in this Case for Law Students.
The First Amendment is applicable to the states through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
View Full Point of Law
Facts. The Appellees attack, as violative of the First and Fourteenth Amendments, a portion of Section: 54-524.35 of Va.Code Ann. (1974). This portion states that a pharmacist licensed in Virginia is guilty of unprofessional conduct if he "publishes, advertises or promotes, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, any amount, price, fee, premium, discount, rebate or credit terms. . . for any drugs which may be dispensed only by prescription." The District Court declared this portion void for violating the First and Fourteenth Amendment.
Whether, even assuming that First Amendment protection attaches to the flow of drug price information, it is a protection enjoyed by the Appellees as recipients of the information, and not solely, if at all, by the advertisers themselves who seek to disseminate that information?
Whether there is a First Amendment exception for commercial speech in the instance in which speech does no more than propose a commercial transaction?
Held. Yes to (a) and No to (b).
It is a protection that is enjoyed by all appellees as recipients of the information. For where a speaker exists, the protection afforded is to the communication, to its source and to its recipients both. If there is a right to advertise, there is a reciprocal right to receive the advertising, and it may be asserted by the Appellees.
Commercial speech is protected speech under the First Amendment. However, some forms of commercial speech may be regulated.
Commercial speech may be regulated provided that they are justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech, that they serve a significant governmental interest, and in doing so they leave open ample alternative channels for communication of the information. This allows the State to ensure that the stream of commercial information flows cleanly as well as freely. But, in this instance, the Virginia statute, which singles out speech of a particular content and completely prevent its dissemination, plainly exceeds this allowed sphere of regulation.
Dissent. The dissent feels that the Court's decision is far reaching; this opinion will open the way for active promotion of prescription drugs, liquor, cigarettes and other products the use of which has been though desirable to discourage. But, this decision by the Court allows such promotion to be protected by the First Amendment, as long as it is not misleading or promote illegal conduct. In the Court's decision it also overrule a legislative determination that such advertising should not be allowed and has done so on behalf of a consumer group which is not directly disadvantaged by the statute, and therefore causes this Justice to disagree with the opinion of the Court.
Concurrence.
Wants the holding limited to this instance, and states that different factors would govern if the Court was faced with a law regulating or prohibiting advertising by the traditional learned professions of medicine or law.
Says that the Court's decision calls into question the constitutional legitimacy of every state and federal law regulating false or deceptive advertisement. This concurrence explains why this decision does not preclude such regulation.
Discussion. This case defines the limitations of the First and Fourteenth Amendment protections involving commercial speech. This case holds that commercial speech is like other forms of speech, and therefore the dissemination of this type of content is protected. Similar to other forms of speech, the government can still regulate if it feels that it has a legitimate interest in the regulation. The outcome of this case seems to hold that commercial speech is the same as other content driven forms of speech in the way it will be addressed in a First Amendment analysis. But, the Court seems to hint that the government has a higher interest in regulating this speech than it does ordinary speech, therefore giving it the power to regulate it more diligently. It is important to note that any oversight the government provides must defend its reasoning and do so through the least restrictive means to achieve its goal.

Taliban Clubs cricket team entered the cricket competition in Jaisalmer and created a tremendous controversy
in English News, News, Sports
The Aladin khan memorial cricket trophy in Jaisalmer has in the biggest controversy. A team played in the trophy whose name was Taliban clubs. And not only this, but the team called Taliban club has also played the matches.
When the scoreboard started showing the name, it suddenly started creating controversy. As expected, the organisers of the cricket trophy were grounded by the many trollers on social media platforms.
Seeing the trolling social media platforms, organisers suddenly seems to swing into action. The team called The Taliban club has to move out and quit the further journey in the trophy. Also, the organisers apologised after that.
The Aladin khan memorial cricket trophy is organised every year in the Jesurana village in Jaisalmer. Many teams who live near the town take part and play matches in the trophy.
The competition is organised in the memory of a social worker, Aladdin khan. There are almost ten teams that have been participated in this year. And the child welfare committee chairman, Amin khan had inaugurated the trophy on 22nd august Sunday 2021.
The Taliban club's cricket team consisted of Mathar Khan (captain), Abal Baazigar Khan, Aladdin Khan, Amin Khan, Gumanaram, Haji, Jako, Jamal Khan, Kamal Jan, Khamish Khan, Madhe Khan, Mahesh and Merab Khan.
The entry of the Taliban team led to a dispute as soon as the competition started.
According to the reports, Ismail Khan, the organiser of the cricket trophy, said that "we were not aware of the team. The applications were invited online, so we have not paid attention to them. We had thrown out the team when this matter came to our notice through social media and other means. Sorry about this whole incident, and we are deeply sorry".
The organisers may be clarifying and apologising about the incident, but they keep silent on letting that team play the match and showing the score on their page.

Tomgram: Chalmers Johnson, Outlaw Administration
[Note for TomDispatch readers: This is the first of a "best of TomDispatch" series I'll be posting in the week leading up to Labor Day, each with a new introduction by the author. Few in the United States give much thought any longer to the looting of Iraq's cultural heritage, which continues to this day, under American occupation. And yet it has been a cataclysmic event in its own right. As I wrote long ago of the initial moments of destruction after American troops entered Baghdad in April 2003: "Words disappeared instantly. They simply blinked off the screen of Iraqi history, many of them forever. First, there was the looting of the National Museum. That took care of some of the earliest words on clay, including, possibly, cuneiform tablets with missing parts of the epic of Gilgamesh. Soon after, the great libraries and archives of the capital went up in flames and books, letters, government documents, ancient Korans, religious manuscripts, stretching back centuries — all those things not pressed into clay, or etched on stone, or engraved on metal, just words on that most precious and perishable of all commonplaces, paper — vanished forever. What we're talking about, of course, is the flesh of history. And it was no less a victim of the American invasion — of the Bush administration's lack of attention to, its lack of any sense of the value of what Iraq held (other than oil) — than the Iraqi people. All of this has been, in that grim phrase created by the Pentagon, 'collateral damage.'"
Back in July 2005 at this site, Chalmers Johnson wrote a summary piece on that cataclysm of destruction of history, of the past, and — here's the saddest story – it is no less readable, relevant, or powerful today than it was more than three years ago. This piece, by the way — along with many other TomDispatch pieces that have stood the test of time — has just been republished in a little alternate history of these last years, The World According to TomDispatch, America in the New Age of Empire (Verso, 2008), which I hope you'll consider ordering. Johnson, author of the now-classic Blowback Trilogy, has written a new introduction to his 2005 piece, looking back on the destruction we enabled — or wrought. Tom]
The Past Destroyed: Five Years Later
On April 11, 12, 13, and 14, 2003, the United States Army and United States Marine Corps disgraced themselves and the country they represent in Baghdad, Iraq's capital city. Having invaded Iraq and accepted the status of a military occupying power, they sat in their tanks and Humvees, watching as unarmed civilians looted the Iraqi National Museum and burned down the Iraqi National Library and Archives as well as the Library of Korans of the Ministry of Religious Endowments. Their behavior was in violation of their orders, international law, and the civilized values of the United States. Far from apologizing for these atrocities or attempting to make amends, the United States government has in the past five years added insult to injury.
Donald Rumsfeld, then secretary of defense and the official responsible for the actions of the troops, repeatedly attempted to trivialize what had occurred with inane public statements like "democracy is messy" and "stuff happens."
On December 2, 2004, President Bush awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, to General Tommy Franks, the overall military commander in Iraq at that time, for his meritorious service to the country. (He gave the same award to L. Paul Bremer III, the highest ranking civilian official in Iraq, and to George Tenet, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, which had provided false information about Saddam Hussein and Iraq to Congress and the people.)
In the five years since the initial looting and pillaging of the Iraqi capital, thieves have stolen at least 32,000 items from some 12,000 archaeological sites across Iraq with no interference whatsoever from the occupying power. No funds have been appropriated by the American or Iraqi governments to protect the most valuable and vulnerable historical sites on Earth, even though experience has shown that just a daily helicopter overflight usually scares off looters. In 2006, the World Monuments Fund took the unprecedented step of putting the entire country of Iraq on its list of the most endangered sites. All of this occurred on George W. Bush's watch and impugned any moral authority he might have claimed.

MidEast Dispatches: Corruption Eats Into Food Rations
Corruption Eats Into Food Rations
By Ali al-Fadhily and Dahr Jamail*
FALLUJAH, May 2 (IPS) – Amidst unemployment and impoverishment, Iraqis now face a cutting down of their monthly food ration – much of it already eaten away by official corruption.
Iraqis survived the sanctions after the first Gulf War (1990) with the support of rations through the Public Distribution System (PDS). The aid was set up in 1995 as part of the UN's Oil-for-Food programme.
The sanctions were devastating nevertheless. Former UN programme head Hans von Sponeck said in 2001 that the sanctions amounted to "a tightening of the rope around the neck of the average Iraqi citizen." Von Sponeck said the sanctions were causing the death of 150 Iraqi children a day.
Denis Halliday, former UN humanitarian coordinator for Iraq who quit his post in protest against the sanctions, told IPS they had proved "genocidal" for Iraqis.
During more than five years of U.S.-occupation, the situation has become even worse. The rationing system has been crumbling under poor management and corruption.
From the beginning of this year, the rations delivered were reduced from 10 items to five.
"We used the PDS as counter-propaganda against Saddam Hussein's regime before the U.S. occupation of Iraq began in 2003," Fadhil Jawad of the Dawa Party led by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told IPS in Baghdad. "But then we found it necessary to maintain basic support for Iraqi people under occupation. We blamed Saddam for feeding Iraqis like animals with simple rations of food — that we fail to provide now."
"When the Americans came to occupy Iraq, they promised us a better life," Ina'm Majeed, a teacher at a girls school told IPS in Fallujah. "After killing our sons and husbands, they are killing us by hunger now. The food ration that was once enough for our survival is now close to nothing, and the market prices are incredibly high. It is impossible for 80 percent of Iraqis now to buy the same items they used to get from the previous regime's food rations."
Ina'm's husband was killed in a U.S. air strike during the April 2004 siege of her city, leaving her with four children to bring up.
A World Food Programme (WFP) report in May 2006 found that just over four million people in Iraq were "food-insecure and in dire need of different kinds of humanitarian assistance."
According to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in April 2007, of the four million Iraqis who cannot regularly buy enough to eat, only 60 percent had access to PDS rations. The situation is worse today.
The former Iraqi ministry of trade used to distribute fair quantities of food in the PDS, then low quality food at the beginning of the UN sanctions. The quantities were reduced after the sanctions lasted longer than the former government expected. After Iraq signed the memo of understanding in 1996 with the UN, the quality and quantity of food notably improved.
"Do not blame Iraqis for calling the sanctions days 'the good old days' because they were definitely good compared to the dark days we are living under U.S. occupation," Abu Aymen, a 45-year-old lawyer with eight children told IPS in Fallujah. "All Iraqis complained about life under Saddam's regime because it was bad, but it seems that all the good things, little as they were, have been taken away along with his statues."
Aymen added, "We used to get cheese, powdered milk for us and our children, shaving paste and blades, tomato paste, special food for children, beans, soap and cleaning detergents, and even chicken, as well as basic foods like flour, rice, cooking oil, tea and sugar. Now we get bullets and missiles and polluted food and medicines."
Haj Chiad, a PDS distribution agent in Fallujah, told IPS that he now also distributes illness.
"I used to deliver food, but now I distribute poison with it," he said. "It has happened many times during the past four years that the food given to us by the ministry of trade was either rotten or actually poisoned. We distributed rice and sugar from sacks that had been stored a long time in damp places, and tomato paste that was long past its expiry date before we received it."
The Iraqi parliament's Committee for Integrity has demanded comprehensive interrogation of minister for trade Abdul Falah al-Sudany for the "vast corruption in his ministry." But as with other complaints of corruption, Maliki has taken no action.

TRUE: Six Nations informative lecture in Brantford, May 15
Brantford land claims – the true history behind the headlines
What: An informative lecture and Q&A time with 30 year veteran of Six Nations land claims research Phil Monture and other leaned special guests.
When: Thursday, May 15, 2008, beginning at 7 pm.
Where: At the BCI Auditorium, Brant Ave. Brantford.
Why: Without the truth, it will be impossible to understand why Six Nations are blocking development in Brant/Brant County and elsewhere.
DID YOU KNOW:
Did you know that more than 50% of the present Six Nations land and resources disputes registered with Canada involve Brantford or Brant County?
Did you know there are dozens more yet to be filed?
Did you know that since 2002, the Supreme Court of Canada has ordered the federal and provincial governments of Canada as well as municipalities and developers to engage in meaningful consultation and accommodation with First Nations where contested land land claims or treaty rights are concerned?
Did you know that the Canadian Constitution Act of 1982 recognized and affirms Aboriginal Rights and Treaties?
Did you know that only 807 acres of Brantford is accounted for, and most of that has yet to be paid to the people of Six Nations?
Don't believe it? Come and hear the real truth behind the settlement of Brant County and the expansionism policies of today's City Hall.
Find out where is the Johnson Settlement is; Eagles Nest; Burtch Tract; Onondaga Township; Martin's Tract; Oxbow; Oneida Township; Grand River Navigation Co. Tow Path; the Nathan Gage Tract; the original Brantford Town Plot, and many more important areas of Brant County in need of settlement of
200 years of historic claims of ownership by the Crown, Canada, Ontario and Brantford.
TRUE is a growing Brantford based citizens group, seeking knowledge, justice and understanding of our responsibilities towards our Six Nations neighbours, according to the Two Row Wampum Treaty.
"The Truth is a hard thing that gets even harder with every year it is kept bound and gagged in a dark room, away from the eyes of decent people," says Marilyn Vegso and Jim Windle, co-founders of TRUE (Two Row Understanding through Education). "That is why we began this series of lectures designed to reveal the real truth and gain a Six Nations perspective on the historical relationship Brantford has had with its Six Nations neighbours over the past 200 years."
Previous TRUE lectures covered the two Row Wampum Treaty and it's significance today, and Kevin Annett's revelations of Residential School murders of thousands of Native children in Canada's Secret Holocaust.
"This movement is growing as more and more non-Native people begin to hear the truth and are as appalled as we were when we discovered the history we weren't taught in school," says Vegso. "It is incumbent upon us to acknowledge what our government has done and to make it right. That's our
responsibility under the Two-Row."
With all the talk and headlines about how Six Nations protection against the development of contested Six Nations' land, TRUE has cut to the chase and is hosting what could be one of the most important and informative meeting of their series to date.
Brantford land claims – the true history behind the headlines with 30 year Six Nations land claims researcher Phil Monture and present Six Nations lands and resources manager, lawyer, and researcher Lonny Bomberry, along with other recognized Six Nations' historians.
Monture has dedicated his entire life to finding the truth behind what has become Canada's most pressing domestic issue. The wanton theft of Indian lands and resources is creating a formula for disaster which can be avoided, if we have the courage to face the truth and do something about it.
This meeting is guaranteed to be a bitter and inconvenient pill to swallow for most, but until we are cured of our short sighted arrogance, addiction to tax dollars, and the destruction of irreplaceable farm lands, we are on a collision course with not only the original people protectors of the land, but with nature herself.

Mentoring transformed Marc Heuer's teaching practice
May 2, 2017 Shirley Smith	Blog Homepage
Marc Heuer counts off for groups in his sixth grade classroom at McFarland's Indian Mound Middle School
"Do you like helping Mr. Heuer with things like greeting visitors?" I asked the student who met me at the office of McFarland's Indian Mound Middle School.
Smiling to herself, she leaped into one big skip. "I love Mr. Heuer," she said reverently and skipped again before opening the door to his classroom.
Heuer's class was busy getting ready to review for a social studies test by moving from station to station, arranging index cards expressing concepts from their studies into a connected story. "It's one of my favorite activities–I got it from colleagues," said Heuer.
Marc Heuer's entire teaching career has been with the McFarland School District; he became a mentor about 15 years ago. During mentor training, Heuer realized that what he was learning to guide effective, respectful communication with adults worked with his students as well.
"Becoming a mentor has been a revitalization of my career," he said.
Marc Heuer and former mentee Cody Lundquist
One of the hallmarks of Heuer's teaching practice is to try and spend 30 seconds a day with every student, something his cooperating teacher recommended that he's been doing ever since. It could be a quick exchange during silent reading, or a more formal conference.
"We sit side by side, just as you do in a mentoring conversation. Even for a disciplinary conversation. I use the language 'What should this look like? What do you want to have happen?' It honors and respects them. They want to do well, be successful. They respond to being talked with, not at."
With his mentoring work, plus committee and team teaching responsibilities, Heuer says "It's important to work in front of the kids the way we want them to work together." He thinks keeping that in mind helps kids feel included and vested in the success—or failure—of classroom activities.
"Kids appreciate an adult who doesn't have all the answers. They know when you're bluffing."

The confirmation came via a tweet at the start of the month. What's in store for players of Codemasters' much-loved franchise though?
Here's everything you need to know about GRID Season 3!
RACE ON: You can travel the world in GRID
Surprisingly, we don't yet have an official release date for this DLC.
Updates from the Twitter account are still saying "this month", so we can expect it any time before May Day hits.
This is likely down to Codemasters' GRID division having to complete this DLC from home due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Delays have been rife in gaming of late and racing games are no exception.
Some are doubting whether Codies' flagship title, the Official F1 game, will arrive on time this year.
So, don't be surprised if GRID Season 3 gets pushed back too.
CRYPTIC: GRID have been revealing their cars through images on Twitter.
There isn't much given away in GRID's Tweet, the video that's posted is just the sound of an engine revving away with a blurred background.
Since that first announcement, GRID have been posting images of parts of the new cars available in Season 3. The consensus from the fans so far include the Koenigsegg Agera and Koenigsegg Jesko.
More will be shown online over this month, as according to a Microsoft Store page, there are four cars included. These are the Track Day Hypercars and will likely be a new category of their own in the game.
Hypercars are the even faster and louder versions of supercars, which goes along with the Koenigseggs we've seen revealed so far. The pack also includes 30 new career events, which will include some at Suzuka, according to another online post by the GRID developers.
STUMPED: Fans on Twitter can't figure out what this car is, can you?
The GRID fandom was glad to see more content coming to their game upon Season 3's announcement. Given the timing of the reveal, it's much-needed positive news that motorsport gamers were craving for.
Fans are keen to see the inclusion of Spa-Francorchamps (home of the Belgian GP) and the return of Drifting to the franchise. Neither of those have been revealed yet but Suzuka was also a request and that will be included.
If you haven't given GRID a whirl yet and are undecided, check out our review of the game. GRID is also available via a free trial on both PS4 and Xbox One if you want to give it a go too!

Public Sector Needs a Mix of Tech, Policy Tools to Combat the Opioid Epidemic
The solutions start with data sharing, said Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources William Hazel at the IT Solutions Management conference.
by Jason Shueh / September 21, 2016
Virginia Health and Human Services Secretary William Hazel called for data sharing agreements to break down information silos for social workers, law enforcement and medical care providers. Jason Shueh
PHOENIX — The severity of the nation's opioid epidemic is only increasing, and in response, state and local governments are hunting for both tech and policy tools to combat the problem.
Opioid addiction played a central role at this year's IT Solutions Management conference. The four-day gathering brought state and federal officials into the heart of downtown Phoenix on Sept. 21 to discuss different approaches to contain the deadly spread of overdoses.
Joined by a representative from the National Governors Association (NGA), Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources William Hazel delivered more than a few candid insights on his state's efforts to confront opioid addiction. Hazel said the situation has grown so dire and expanded so rapidly that punitive measures alone cannot handle the problem anymore. Looking at fatalities, Virginia now has more deaths from opiate overdoses than from motor vehicle accidents and gun violence.
New solutions and resources are something Virginia's police force has requested time and time again. "One of the biggest changes I've seen is when law enforcement comes in and says, 'We cannot arrest our way out of this,'" Hazel said.
The likely answer, he conjectured, is one that requires a mixture of data intelligence for near real-time tracking, policymaking and collaborations with data-sharing agreements between medical and law enforcement services at the state and local levels.
"It starts with data sharing…" Hazel said. "All of this has to be in the same ecosystem to get really quick, actionable results and have a [data analytics] dashboard."
Anonymized data could track the amount of legally prescribed opioids for pain relief to reduce overprescription by medical providers — a significant problem. Hard figures could also identify populations and geographies most impacted and susceptible by tabulating, for example, the use of naloxone, a drug that counteracts the effects of opioid overdose.
However, agencies solve the issue, it's clear that something needs to be done. NGA's representative, who spoke on background, highlighted a publicly available road map that the organization has drafted with input from field and policy experts across the nation.
Key statistics from the report note that every day 78 people die from an overdose related to prescription opioids and heroin, and in 2012, health-care providers prescribed enough opioids for every American adult to have his or her own pill bottle. The consequence, NGA said, is that Medicaid — the most common source of funding for opioid hospitalizations — has seen its costs quadruple between 2002 and 2012. Complicating matters further, fentanyl, a quick-acting synthetic opioid pain medication, is growing in popularity and may soon become a common illegal narcotic.
"I see fentanyl as the new meth, because you'll be able to make it at your house without the dangers of the explosions that meth labs had," Hazel said. "This is a real, real challenge for us going forward."
Among its lengthy list of recommendations, the NGA called for stricter guidelines on opioid prescribers, removing methadone from Medicaid's preferred drug lists for pain relief, increasing access to naloxone and boosting the reach of state prescription drug monitoring — all initiatives that would require greater data from the health-care industry. Hazel said the trick is convincing, or perhaps compelling, the industry to do so since it doesn't always see it in its "best interest" due to the heightened accountability.
Culturally there is much to be done as well, and Hazel went on to say that, at least for the time being, a major amount of public outreach and education is needed.
People must be able to discern the difference between "legal prescriptions" and "safe consumption" — not always the same thing; patients and health-care providers must pivot away from a reliance on opioids as quick-fix remedies; and socially the U.S. as a whole must learn to be more sympathetic to those who suffer, or have suffered, from addiction. Employers often reject job applicants with past drug convictions, and family members and friends might cut support when it's needed most.
"We have to recognize that those who are addicted, are addicted," Hazel said. "And they are with us. And they are going to be with us if all goes well. They have to be able to have a life and to be self-sufficient and self-sustaining."

Gender, Politics
Revisiting the PR Bill: Why only Women?
We will not settle for anything less than EQUAL status at par with men.
Yes, it is the 21st century world where women are being considered, not as goods and commodities which could be bought and sold, but as real human-beings entitled to what we call "fundamental rights", just like those of men. It is a time when globalization is leading the women of today into new roles around the world establishing greater equality to men, where the social role for women is changing from that of the traditional "mother" to that of the "provider" (in addition to being a mother). Unfortunately, we are still living in a society which is yet to comprehend, let alone acknowledge this changing reality. It is still a society where men tend to make decisions for women, despite the fact that social roles have considerably changed. It is a society where it is taken for granted that a woman, after marriage, will and must leave her home and hearth to settle in with her husband, and that she will belong to his family. An opposite scene where a man would join his wife is no less than a blasphemy and a matter of great humiliation; and the possibility for a woman to choose to live on her own is even out of question. In such a scenario, it is unthinkable and even unimaginable for us to admit that our woman is not only quite capable of, but, in fact, is entitled to the right to make decisions on her behalf.
In the year 2004, during the first week of March, a stream of extreme rage and dissatisfaction had passed all up my nerves so that I had to suspend all my day's work after I read through the headlines of the various local dailies of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. This was about the passage of the J&K Permanent Resident (Disqualification) Bill 2004 ("PR Bill") which deprives the women of the state from maintaining Resident status and from the right to own property should they marry a "non-state subject". Same law, however, would not apply to men in a similar situation. Irrespective of the fact that the Bill was fundamentally flawed and absolutely unjust and discriminating towards one-half of the population of the state, it was unanimously passed. The then National Conference President, Omar Abdullah, himself born of and married to a non-native, had even taken a very strong stance by issuing a whip for ensuring a "smooth passage of the PR Bill 2004" warning that any violation would entail action in terms of Anti Defection Law against its Legislative Council members should they oppose the Bill. Shortly afterwards, however, the passage of the Bill had caused a great upheaval in and outside the state in various circles, and it had, at least temporarily, been shelved aside.
After six years, the Bill has resurfaced from the debris to haunt us a second time — this time ironically on the International Women's day, around exactly the same time of the year (moved by the PDP legistator Murtaza Ahmad Khan on March 8, 2010). Interestingly this time too, the Bill was allowed "unopposed". What is even more interesting to note is that during the same session, the Minister for Social Welfare, Ms. Sakina Itto has proposed a Bill on Domestic Violence for "empowering women". Was that a bad joke?
The PDP's stance may be a bait for the separatist mindset aimed to "safeguard Article 370" (or "special status" of the J & K), or a part of some new political gimmick to regain its lost face, but one must concede that such politicians can no longer make a fool of the womenfolk who are more informed, more confident, and more determined to fight for their rights. There is no rationale whatsoever behind the argument that women's marrying non-state subjects causes an "imbalance in the state demographics" while the same action by men, committed on a much larger scale than women, does not. It does not take a genius to realize that the Bill is absolutely blind to our women's basic and fundamental rights.
While many political parties supporting the Bill certainly have their motives, the important question that must be addressed by everyone today, irrespective of our political orientations or ideologies, is: Do the women of the state of Jammu & Kashmir deserve equal treatment as that of men? On the one hand is the question of their basic human and fundamental rights, their right to live with dignity and equal status as that of men in a country which boasts of being the largest democracy in the world, and on the other, is the issue of safeguarding article 370 of the "privileged" state. The answer is more than clear: If such a Bill must pass at any point, it must apply to everyone irrespective of their gender; under these circumstances, the first person to be disqualified from the Resident status must be our honorable Chief Minister, Mr. Omar Abdullah, followed by everybody with similar qualifications. If that is not likely to happen any time, the Bill must be buried for good.

Carjackings are among the crimes that have escalated. One victim shares his story
Published February 5, 2022 at 4:32 PM CST
Imagine this. You're pumping your gas or maybe sitting in your car, tapping out one last text before you get on the road. And the next thing you know, you see a gun in your face, somebody pulling on your car door or pulling you out of the car, demanding you give up your keys. That's not a scene from some crime show. That's the terrifying experience hundreds of people across the country have been having over the past year or so, as carjackings and other violent crimes escalate in many places since the start of the pandemic. Last month, Nate Fleming, a lawyer and a candidate for the D.C. City Council, was one of the people who experienced this. It all took place close to where he grew up and still lives. The frightening scene was captured on security camera, made the local news, and a 17-year-old has been arrested.
We're going to talk more about gun violence in the next few minutes. It's something that's gotten the attention of the president, who flew to New York earlier this week to meet with New York's mayor to talk over strategies for addressing this. But we're going to start by hearing from Nate Fleming. He is, as we said, a candidate for D.C. City Council. He's been a longtime public servant, and he's with us now. Nate Fleming, thanks so much for joining us.
NATE FLEMING: No, thanks for having me.
MARTIN: Well, first of all, I'm so glad you're OK, at least, you know, physically. But could you just start by walking us through what happened? And I realize this is not the most pleasant thing to remember, but what exactly happened?
FLEMING: Yes. So it was a Saturday afternoon. I was just going about my business. I just finished going to the post office and mailing some letters, and I stopped at the local gas station a few blocks from my home. And when I came out of the gas station, I was going to approach my car, and I noticed a red van pulled up pretty quickly. And I looked inside the van, and I saw four masked men. And when I saw four masked men, something struck me to be odd, given that carjackings, I knew, were on the rise in the D.C. area.
So as soon as I had that thought, they jumped out of the vehicle, and there was a gun with an extended magazine pointed in my face before I knew it. So I backed up as quick as I can. I believe I had my keys already in my hand, so I threw them up over the head of the gunman. He screamed, give me your keys. But almost before I could get it out, the keys were over his head. And so they quickly determined that they would get the keys and drove off in not only my car but the car that they came in, the van that they came in.
MARTIN: So as we said earlier, the D.C. police have arrested and charged a 17-year-old in connection with this crime. D.C.'s Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a press conference recently that 64% of the people arrested for carjackings in 2021 were under 18 years old. So did you register that this was a really young person doing this?
FLEMING: To be honest, I - it was a group of four, so I'm not thinking about it in terms of an individualized way. So in my impression, I thought that there was a range of ages in the group, some, you know, as young as, like, the age of 17. But, you know, to - group looked to me to be - have some older members in it, too, like early 20s. So that was my thinking.
MARTIN: But why - why there, and why those kids? Like, what's your take on it? Like, why that gas station? Why that neighborhood? I mean, and why kids? Are they bored? Your sense of - that they're bored, or - what?
FLEMING: They're not being engaged. That's what's going on with the young people. And we have to understand that in D.C. in 2020, there was a 158% increase in carjackings. So I think you have to at least speak and point to the pandemic, how it interrupted a lot of the engagement that we do have with young people, things like schools, things like recreation centers.
MARTIN: There has been an arrest in this case. I mean, do you envision confronting this young man in court? And if so, what do you think you'd say?
FLEMING: Well, I haven't given much thought to that. I've given a lot of thought to what we need to do for young people in D.C. in general - because we have to engage them, not just only during the school year and during the school day. We have to engage them year-round. We need to guarantee that every young person that lives in D.C. has access to a high-quality after-school opportunity of their choice because that's what's going to engage our young people and keep them active and doing something positive and on the trajectory towards success instead of doing these disruptive activities that's, you know, really wreaking havoc all throughout our community.
MARTIN: That was Nate Fleming. He is an attorney. He's held a number of offices in public life, and he's running for the D.C. City Council. Nate Fleming, thanks so much for talking with us. As I said, once again, I'm sorry for what happened to you, and I'm glad that you seem to be able to sort of process it in a way that seems to be helping you move forward and helping us understand what it's like. So, Nate Fleming, thanks so much for talking with us.
FLEMING: Well, thank you for those words, Michel. And thanks for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Google's Blink Rendering Engine For Webkit Browsers To Re-Kindle The Browser Wars
WebKit has become something of a common engine powering a lot of browsers these days, but one could argue that Android is also powering a lot of devices these days, despite the fact that things like the Kindle Fire look nothing like Android. So today, Google's announcing a fork of its own. As platforms evolve and mature, we're seeing a trend -- the initial platform hits, and eventually, various parties find different ways to exploit it. Eventually, you end up with different end products with some of the same underlying technologies powering things.
With Chrome, WebKit has been powering things on the render side. But now, Blink is being introduced to take things from here. Chromium uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and Google says that "supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects." Blink is being revealed to help that, and it's described as an open source rendering engine based on WebKit.
The bulk of the initial work will focus on internal architectural improvements and a simplification of the codebase, but it'll no doubt impact the browser world in the coming months and years. Now, let the battle for mainstream support begin.
