Two Alaskans are among dozens of federal inmates who will be freed decades early, the White House announced. President Obama today commuted the sentences of Alex Contreras of Anchorage and Raymond Allen Thomas of Fairbanks.Download AudioContreras was sentenced to 40 years in 2002 for multiple drug and gun-possession charges. He was 19 at the time. News accounts of his sentencing say his convictions relate to his role in an Anchorage drug ring that sold crack and powdered cocaine.Thomas was in his 50s when he was convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to sell in 2005. The Fairbanks Daily News Miner says the case against Thomas arose from a kilo of cocaine that was sent in the mail, disguised as a Christmas present. He was originally sentenced to 22 years.The sentences for both Alaskans are now to end on April 16.In all, Obama commuted sentences for 95 convicts. read more
Fishing boats sit in Chignik Bay’s harbor as fishermen wait for a commercial opener. (Photo by Mitch Borden/KDLG)There is really only one thing to talk about in Chignik Bay these days: Where are the sockeye?Listen now“Shock is pretty much the guaranteed feeling of most people as kinda everybody walking around dazed,” said Ben Allen, a local fisherman.Like many communities around the Gulf of Alaska, villages near the Chignik River are struggling with weak sockeye runs. This summer’s Chignik return is its lowest recorded in 50 years.The Alaska Department of Fish and Game recently set a commercial salmon opener for later this week, but it will target pink and chum salmon. ADF&G officials say the amount of sockeye returning to the region is still far under its escapement goal for the Chignik River, so it is still uncertain whether the region will see a commercial sockeye harvest this summer.Many residents are even forgoing subsistence fishing voluntarily to try and get every salmon they can up the Chignik River.Luckily there are two sockeye runs annually, so people hope the later run will be a strong one, but Allen said it’s hard to stay optimistic.“The ebb and flow of fishing does happen and you know you just kinda hope the next run or the next year is going to be something worth going after. But there’s not a lot of hope involved,” said Allen.Chignik Bay is small, with fewer than 100 year-round residents. Commercial fishing for sockeye is the main source of income for individuals and revenue for the city through the raw fish tax.The commercial fishery in the Chignik region has been declining for years and the failure of this run is making people wonder what the future holds. Allen is unsure if being a fisherman in Chignik is sustainable.He said, “honestly, we don’t know if we’re going to be doing this in 5 years, 10 years.”Allen is not alone. Billy Anderson bought into the fishery with the idea that he would pass on the family business when he retired.“When I bought the boat and permit I didn’t think it was going to be this much of a struggle to get things going and try to hand it down to my son,” Anderson said. “He’s young, and I don’t want to hand him a big bill, that’s for sure. I wanted him to have heydays too like I had heydays when I was fishing.”Anderson is from Chignik Bay and has been a commercial fisherman for most of his life. He said he has never experienced a worse salmon season, a sentiment echoed throughout the community.Fishermen are not the only ones concerned about this year’s run. State biologists are, as well.“We’re worried we may not even meet the minimum escapement goals for the year,” said Dawn Wilson of ADF&G.Only 172,000 sockeye have reached the Chignik River. ADF&G’s minimum escapement goal for the month of June was about 300,000. It is too early to know what caused the region’s early sockeye run to fail, but there is a hypothesis.Wilson explained, “It’s very likely that it’s related to the warming waters in the Gulf of Alaska.”A body of unusually warm water settled in the gulf a few years ago, and is often called “the blob.” It has since moved out of the gulf, but it may have caused some of the area’s sockeye stocks to crash.Even if the run failure is due to environmental factors, many local fishermen are still frustrated with regional management of fisheries. Axel Kopun is among them.He said, “yeah, bad runs happen, but when you have a bunch of fish being intercepted just a few miles below you and you are sitting on the beach and you don’t even get to do subsistence, it’s hard to take.”Kopun’s the president of the Chignik Seiners Association. He said fisheries along the Alaska Peninsula catch salmon from mixed stocks that include Chignik sockeye and some sections have continued to fish even though Chignik’s first run failed. Local fishermen want that to change.“We’re not here just to get our escapement. Yeah, we want our escapement, but we need to catch fish and make money. We’re people here too and we actually need enough fish to make a living,” Kopun said.It is hard to say how many fish caught along the peninsula are destined for Chignik, according to ADF&G. But the department restricted the South Unimak and Shumagin Islands June Fisheries for the first time, in an effort ot boost Chignik’s escapement.Fishermen in Chignik do not think these restrictions are enough. They are petitioning the Alaska Board of Fisheries to change the way some sections along the peninsula are managed to protect Chignik’s sockeye resource.The Alaska Board of Fisheries will consider Chignik’s request at a July 17 emergency meeting.The five Alaska Native tribes from the Chignik region are also reaching out to Governor Bill Walker to see if there’s any aid the state can offer.Even with these efforts, fishermen like Dale Carson are losing hope that they can salvage this season.“As a fisherman, you’re always thinking ‘okay, well next week, next week, or…next tide.’ But we’re starting to run out of the next tides or the next weeks here pretty quick,” Carson said.All people can do now is wait and see how Chignik’s late sockeye run turns out. read more
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries (RIL) is likely to see its market capitalisation rising to $100 billion in the next 3-4 years from the current $47.97 billion due to improved refining margins from its crude oil business, according to a global brokerage firm.RIL shares have gained nearly 25 percent since April 2015, compared to the over 13 percent decline of the benchmark BSE Sensex index. RIL shares Wednesday ended nearly 2 percent higher at Rs 1,001.”This is just the start. RIL is nearing the completion of its largest-ever capex programme of $46 billion over F14-17, paving the way for a multi-year cycle of strong FCF generation,” The Economic Times quoted a report by Morgan Stanley, as saying.The brokerage maintains an overweight stance on RIL with a price target of Rs 1,329 in the next 12 months.RIL posted a record profit Rs 7,290 crore for the December quarter, as its margins in the refining business reached a seven-year high due to a sharp decline in crude oil prices.”We estimate RIL current revenue (FY16e) of $3.2 billion or Rs 21,200 crore, which is 5 percent of the current retail modern trade, which we expect to grow to $8.1 billion or Rs 53,200 crore by FY20, which will be 5.5 percent of industry size then,” said the report.RIL is expected to gain even in case of a rebound in global crude oil prices to $60 a barrel due to its exposure to downstream expansion projects in the oil business.”At $60/bbl, we expect downstream projects to generate incremental EBITDA of $3.6 billion compared to the $2.5 billion we assume at $41/bbl oil price in our base case,” the brokerage said. read more

One of these areas involves the dynamics of magnetic topological defects in thin films of ferromagnetic materials. In a new study, physicists have demonstrated that magnetic topological defects called skyrmions, which resemble swirling eddies or bubbles, behave differently than do other magnetic defects. The scientists show that skyrmions’ unusual behavior arises from the strange occurrence of waves on the bubbles’ edges that travel with different speeds in opposite directions. Play Model of a skyrmion bubble with propagating waves on its edges. The dashed line is the undisturbed bubble in its lowest-energy state. The scientists then created a deformation of a specific form, in this case a wave that fits three times on the circumference, and let it go. On a skrymion bubble, the waves traveling left and right have different speeds, unlike standing waves, which are made of waves that have equal speeds even when traveling in opposite directions. If the same deformation were created on a regular taut string instead of a skyrmion bubble, it would result in two running waves traveling in opposite directions with equal speeds. Their superposition would be a standing wave that is going nowhere and merely oscillates in place, keeping its shape. The behavior of the waves on the skyrmion bubble changes in time because the faster wave decays faster. As time goes on, its amplitude diminishes and by the end of the movie you are only seeing a single running wave traveling clockwise.

This understanding of the dynamics of these odd magnetic entities is not only interesting from a basic physics perspective, but also for potential applications.”Magnetic bubbles and other topological defects can be used as memory or logic elements,” Tchernyshyov said. “Stuart Parkin at IBM has made some waves with his concept of racetrack memory, in which he uses domain walls in magnetic nanowires for computational purposes. Whether skyrmions will be eventually used in technological applications is anyone’s guess. Our work is directed more at understanding the basic physics of magnets.” Play Model of a fast counterclockwise traveling wave. The superposition of this wave and a slow clockwise traveling wave (see other movie) results in the wave that forms on a skyrmion bubble. Movie credit: Oleg Tchernyshyov Tchernyshyov added that this investigation of the dynamics of skyrmion bubbles is just one part of the researchers’ broader goals of better understanding magnetic defects in general.”This work was part of a larger scheme,” he said. “The motion of topological defects in magnets is a complex phenomenon. A few years ago we came up with a new approach to its theoretical description. We proposed a simple and economical theory to describe the most important aspects of their motion [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 127204 (2008)]. The current paper is one of the applications of this new language. We are currently working on classifying magnetic textures by topology in three-dimensional magnets, as opposed to two-dimensional thin films.” The physicists, Imam Makhfudz and Oleg Tchernyshyov at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, US, and Benjamin Krüger at the University of Hamburg in Germany, have reported their discovery of some intriguing dynamics of skyrmion bubbles in a study recently published in Physical Review Letters.Scientists have previously known that skyrmions aren’t like other magnetic defects that exist in thin-film ferromagnets. The dynamics of a more typical defect, a vortex, has been described as resembling the motion of charged massless particles in a magnetic field. Scientists originally expected skyrmions to move in a similar way. However, recent simulations have shown that the behavior of skyrmion magnetic bubbles significantly deviates from this model. Whereas vortices displaced from an equilibrium position follow a circular trajectory, the trajectory of the center of a skyrmion bubble follows roughly a more complicated curve, namely a hypocycloid. To explain this puzzling trajectory, the physicists here have shown that skyrmion bubbles must possess inertial mass. The mass is generated not at the center of a bubble but rather at its edge. According to the physicists’ equations, waves on the boundary of a bubble travel left and right at different speeds. While the slow waves are insensitive to inertia, the fast waves involve magnetic oscillations, giving the bubbles mass. “The greatest significance of our work, in my view, is the existence of these funny waves that travel back and forth with different speeds,” Tchernyshyov told Phys.org. “This is very unusual, as normally waves travel with equal speeds in opposite directions. There are a few examples of physical systems where that happens, e.g., the edge of a Quantum Hall liquid, where electrons move in one direction only. Such systems know right from left, so they are called ‘chiral.’ Ours is another example of waves in chiral systems.” Play Model of a slow clockwise traveling wave. The superposition of this wave and a fast counterclockwise traveling wave (see other movie) results in the wave that forms on a skyrmion bubble.

According to the researchers, individuals showed less tolerance toward people who were called to as “the mentally ill” when compared to those referred to as “people with mental illness”.For example, participants were more likely to agree with the statement “the mentally ill should be isolated from the community” than the almost identical statement “people with mental illnesses should be isolated from the community.”“The language we use has real effects on our levels of tolerance for people with mental illness,” said Darcy Haag Granello, professor at Ohio State University. Also Read – ‘Playing Jojo was emotionally exhausting’“Everyone – including the media, policymakers and the general public – need to change how they refer to people with mental illness,” he added. The push to change how society refers to people with mental illness began in the 1990s when several professional publications proposed the use of what they called “person-first” language when talking about people with disabilities or chronic conditions.Person-first language is a way to honour the personhood of an individual by separating their identity from any disability or diagnosis he or she might have. “When you say ‘people with mental illness,’ you are emphasising that they aren’t defined solely by their disability. But when you talk about ‘the mentally ill’ the disability is the entire definition of the person,” added Todd Gibbs, graduate student at the Ohio State. The language choice should not be viewed just as an issue of “political correctness,” revealed the study published in the Journal of Counseling and Development. The research involved three groups of people: 221 undergraduate students, 211 non-student adults and 269 professional counsellors. read more
Oracle has released GraphPipe, an open source tool to simplify and standardize deployment of Machine Learning (ML) models easier. Development of ML models is difficult, but deploying the model for the customers to use is equally difficult. There are constant improvements in the development model but, people often don’t think about deployment. This is were GraphPipe comes into the picture! What are the key challenges GraphPipe aims to solve? No standard way to serve APIs: The lack of standard for model serving APIs limits you to work with whatever the framework gives you. Generally, business application will have an auto generated application just to talk to your deployed model. The deployment situation becomes more difficult when you are using multiple frameworks. You’ll have to write custom code to create ensembles of models from multiple frameworks. Building model server is complicated: Out-of-the-box solutions for deployment are very few because deployment gets less attention than training. Existing solution not efficient enough: Many of the currently used solutions don’t focus on performance, so for certain use cases they fall short. Here’s how the current situation looks like: Source: GraphPipe’s User Guide How GraphPipe solves these problems? GraphPipe uses flatbuffers as the message format for a predict request. Flatbuffers are like google protocol buffers, with an added benefit of avoiding a memory copy during the deserialization step. A request message provided by the flatbuffer definition includes: Input tensors Input names Output names The request message is then accepted by the GraphPipe remote model and returns one tensor per requested output name, along with metadata about the types and shapes of the inputs and outputs it supports. Here’s how the deployment situation will look like with the use of GraphPipe: Source: GraphPipe’s User Guide What are the features it comes with? Provides a minimalist machine learning transport specification based on flatbuffers, which is an efficient cross platform serialization library for C++, C#, C, Go, Java, JavaScript, Lobster, Lua, TypeScript, PHP, and Python. Comes with simplified implementations of clients and servers that make deploying and querying machine learning models from any framework considerably effortless. It’s efficient servers can serve models built in TensorFlow, PyTorch, mxnet, CNTK, or Caffe2. Provides efficient client implementations in Go, Python, and Java. Includes guidelines for serving models consistently according to the flatbuffer definitions. You can read plenty of documentation and examples at https://oracle.github.io/graphpipe. The GraphPipe flatbuffer spec can be found on Oracle’s GitHub along with servers that implement the spec for Python and Go. Read Next Oracle reveals issues in Object Serialization.

Yesterday, Kata Containers 1.5 was released with a host of updates like preliminary support for the Firecracker hypervisor, s390x architecture support, and significant integration improvements! Kata Containers is an open source project and community building a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that perform like containers and provide the workload isolation and security advantages of Virtual machines. The project is managed by The OpenStack Foundation and combines the technology from Intel® Clear Containers and Hyper runV. Features of Kata Containers 1.5 #1 Firecracker support Eric Ernest, an architecture committee member for Kata Containers project, states that the Kata Containers project was designed “to support multiple hypervisor solutions.” The new Firecracker support introduced in this update aims to do just that. At the Amazon re:Invent conference 2018, the AWS team released ‘Firecracker’ that they explained to be a new Virtualization Technology and Open Source Project for Running Multi-Tenant Container Workloads. Firecracker enables service owners to operate secure multi-tenant container-based services while combining the speed, resource efficiency, and performance enabled by containers with the security and isolation offered by traditional VMs. Firecracker can be used in Kata Containers 1.5 for feature constrained workloads, while using the QEMU when working with more advanced workloads. The blog also mentions a small limitation of the Kubernetes functionality when using Kata+Firecracker. The inability to dynamically adjust memory and CPU definitions for a pod and Firecrackers support for only block-based storage drivers and volumes gives rise to the requirement of devicemapper. This is available in Kubernetes + CRI-O and Docker version 18.06. Users can expect more storage driver options soon. Check out this screencast for an example of Kata configured in CRIO+K8S, utilizing both QEMU and Firecracker. You can head over to GitHub to understand how to get started quickly with Kata + runtimeClass in Kubernetes. #2 s390x architecture support Kata Containers 1.5 adds IBM Z-Series support. According to CIO, IBM Z platform includes notable security features. It has a proprietary ASIC on-chip hardware dedicated specifically for cryptographic processes, enabling all-encompassing encryption. This keeps data always encrypted except when that data is being processed. Data is only decrypted during computations before it is encrypted again. #3 containerd integration The 1.5 release simplifies how Kata Containers integrate with containerd. Following the discussion last year to add a shim API to containerd, the 1.5 release includes an initial implementation meeting this shim API. Eric Ernest , an architecture committee member for Kata Containers project, says the API will result in a better interface to Kata Containers and provide the ability to directly access container level statistics from the Kata runtime. TheKata team plans to have several presentations on this topic at the Open Infrastructure Summit in Denver, April 29- May 1, 2019. You can head over to Eric’s blog for more insights on this announcement or head over to AWS blog to know more about the Firecracker support for Kata 1.5.

Juvenile Justice Board was released from a reform home after serving a three-year term With inputs fromPTI What makes us happy Thirteen happiness experts including psychologists researchers monks and the inimitable Malcolm Gladwell try to shed light on this surprisingly difficult question in a series of TED Talks about happiness Over and over the same two themes emerge First we’re usually wrong about what will make us happyor unhappy for that matter For example research has demonstrated that people who win the lottery are no happier about that event one year later than if they’d lost the use of their legs instead And second happiness is largely a matter of choice Which is good news because it means we can pretty much all be happier if we want to be How can we make this happen Here’s some of what the TED speakers advise: 1 Don’t expect happiness to be one-size-fits-all In a fascinating bit of product history Gladwell recounts how the food industry discovered to its astonishment that some people like chunky tomato sauce And what that discovery means in a broader context–that what makes me happy won’t necessarily do it for you and vice versa 2 Stop chasing things like success fame and money Or at least keep chasing them but don’t expect them to make you substantially happier than you are right now As psychologist Dan Gilbert explains our brains have a defense mechanism that’s hard-wired to make us happy with the lives we have whatever those may be Even Pete Best a drummer best known for getting fired by the Beatles just before they hit it big now says he wouldn’t want it any other way 3 Keep challenging yourself If you love your work you’re good at it and you’ve been doing it for a while you probably have experienced “flow” that state where you get so lost in what you’re doing that you forget yourself and everything else That state of flow is where true happiness lies says psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and we can also find it when doing something creative or even something recreational But only so long as we keep challenging ourselves Boredom is the opposite of flow 4 Be generous Connecting with other people and feeling part of something larger than ourselves takes us a long way toward happiness Social scientist Michael Norton recounts a fascinating experiment that proves–contrary to popular belief–that money can buy happiness so long as you spend it on someone other than yourself Not only will you have made someone else happy you’ll have made yourself happy too a happiness buy-one-get-one-free special 5 Be grateful We tend to expect that being happy will make us feel grateful but actually it’s the other way around explains Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast–being grateful is what will make us feel happy And gratitude is a choice he says How can we remember to be grateful By reminding ourselves of all the gifts in our lives Even something so simple as a water faucet was a true occasion for gratitude for Steindl-Rast after a stint in Africa where drinking water was scarce When in time it started to seem ordinary again he put a sticker on the faucet to remind himself what a wonderful thing it was 6 Train your mind The way to do this is by meditating on compassion says Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard It takes time he says but it’s worth doing Brain scans show that monks who are practiced at such meditation show happiness activity in their brains that is “off the charts” compared with everyone else Though he doesn’t mention it Ricard himself is the poster child for this approach According to Google’s happiness guru Chade-Meng Tan Ricard’s own brain scans show him to be the happiest person on the planet 7 Smile It sounds too simple to be true but research actually shows that if you smile you’ll have better health a better marriage and other relationships and increased life expectancy says HealthTap founder Ron Gutman So if you haven’t smiled yet today what are you waiting for 8 Tell the truth In a highly personal talk The Vagina Monologues creator Eve Ensler recounts the epidemic of worldwide violence against women she learned about as a result of her hit show For a while these stories threatened to overwhelm her But then she found herself at the head of a movement to end that violence and give young girls in Africa a refuge from violence she herself had lacked as a child And then she says she learned “this really simple thing which is that happiness exists in action; it exists in telling the truth…and giving away what you want the most” That’s the kind of happiness

And enough enriched uranium to make several atomic bombs will be removed or diluted. The AIADMK wanted Sasikala to be the new chief minister and a stupendous majority of MLAs of the AIADMK elected her as the leader of the legislature party.None of this was illegal At this point Panneerselvam rebelled against the AIADMK party leadership and claimed that actually most AIADMK MLAs were secretly supportive of him He also claimed that Sasikala and her associates were holding AIADMK MLAs in certain locations against their wishes This was a charge of kidnapping If it was true then Panneerselvam was fully within his right to send in police to these locations and rescue the so-called ‘kidnapped’ MLAs He did no such thing but continued to parrot the kidnapping theory His bluff was called when even after Sasikala’s arrest the AIADMK legislature party ostensibly freed from the clutches of Sasikala did not chose Panneerselvam but rallied behind Palanisamy the successor chosen bySasikala In the trust vote 122 MLAs voted for the AIADMK government led by Palanisamy The Panneerselvam camp could garner only 11 votes Palanisamy showed he commanded absolute majority in the Assembly and a stupendous majority among AIADMK MLAs Through all of these events what has been most troubling is the undemocratic behaviour of the governor of the state It appears that Rao essentially chose to suspend democracy in Tamil Nadu for quite a few days and continued with an unrepresentative and hence undemocratic regime instead After Panneerselvam’s resignation Rao was handed the signed list of MLAs supporting Sasikala as Chief Minister This list constituted a majority of MLAs in the Assembly Sasikala at that point was not barred from holding office Under which law or article of the Constitution did Rao not invite the person who had the support of the majority in the Assembly to form the government A majority of MLAs of Tamil Nadu represents the majority viewpoint of the people of the statein a representative democracy From where did Raoget the power to deny the people a government A state without a representative government is essentially an autocracy Why did the governor continue in this situation He chose to stay away from Tamil Nadu for days altogether when there was essentially a dangerous power and governance vacuum in Tamil Nadu Essentially a governor chose to deny people their chosen government Who does he think he is The governor is not elected by the people of Tamil Nadu He doesn’t represent their political choice The MLAs of Tamil Nadu are elected by the people They represent their political choice Thus when a governor denies the chance to form the government to the person elected by a majority of MLAs of Tamil Nadu as their leader an unelected person denies the people their right to exercise their political choice through their elected representatives Whether Sasikala was guilty or not that was for the courts to decide The governor is not the court It is not his job to decide or predict whether in 10 days or 10 weeks or 10 months someone might get convicted There is no article in the Constitution that says that a government or a chief minister has to have some minimum tenure or that if someone has a possibility of conviction in a future date then that person cannot be appointed as the chief minister Then on what ground did Raodeny a representative government to the people of Tamil Nadu at that point His job was to ascertain who commanded a majority in the Assembly He was presented with a list of MLAs representing the majority of the Assembly Did he suspect that the list was false In that case he could have asked for a parade of MLAs Sasikala had offered to do that given Rao’s intransigence In any case Palanisamy’s trust vote shows that Sasikala’s list was not fraudulent The governor simply overruled the majority opinion of the people of Tamil Nadu Because he could It is immaterial whether he was right or wrong The relevant legal and constitutional question is is that his job Does the governor of a state not under President’s Rule have any right to deny the person chosen by a majority of MLAs to form the government when no article of the Constitution disqualifies that person That is the real question that Rao needsto answer Who does the governor represent Time and again it is seen that the governor represents the Union government Thus we see the governors selectively toppling only those state governments that are ruled by parties not in power at the Centre The most recent instance of this shameless act happened recently in Arunachal Pradesh Even more recently the governor of Tripura refused to read passages critical of the Union government – a House speech that is prepared by Tripura’s Council of Ministers and thus represents the majority viewpoint of the people of Tripura Who is the governor to ignore the majority viewpoint in a representative government The governor is not sovereign Not even the President of the Indian Union is sovereign Only the people are That’s what makes the Indian Union a republic and not a monarchy There is reason to believe that the charges of partisanship against the governor of Tamil Nadu are not without substance Rao a veteran of BJP-Jansangh for more the 40 years gave ample opportunity to anti-AIADMK forces in Tamil Nadu to try to break the party The party which has fished the most in these troubled waters is the BJP whose support for the Panneerselvam group was quite open That is not surprising Panneerselvam in his brief regime bartered away Tamil Nadu’s state rights when it agreed to the UDAY scheme something that J Jayalalithaa had opposed on grounds of encroachment on federal structure Thus the Centre had found a pliant partner in Panneerselvam Their horse did not win the race even though the Centretried its best through its man in Chennai It’s amazing that there exists no method available beforehand to a state government and hence to the people of the state to stop a Centre-deputed governor from doing what he did in Tamil Nadu This is a disease common to all over-centralised multi-ethnic rashtras These entities show who is sovereign by choosing any of their own made-up rules which they can then violate Who is the governor of a state This character is New Delhi’s agent in a state/province This character even has discretionary powers – which do not flow from the wishes of the state’s people but typically from the wishes of the Centre What is the origin of this position When British acquired one sovereign area of the subcontinent after another after having amassed some serious amount of territory (which would go on to become the Indian Union and Pakistan in 1947) they appointed some loyal and trusted dalal of centralised imperial rule to keep the acquired areas and provinces ‘in check’ These positions had various names in various British acquired and controlled territories in the subcontinent The 1935 Government of India Act had provincial governors with huge discretionary powers – natural for a colonial Centre when dealing with limited but representative native provincial government The post-partition position of the governor is in a long range sense the continuation of that office What change did governorship undergo from transition from the Union Jack to Tricolour How similar arethe pre-Partition dalals of British imperialism and the post-Partition agents of New Delhi Firstly post-Partition they were non-white Also they answered to New Delhi and not to London But as before they were almost never from the area which they were appointed to ‘govern’ They also have often done what their pre-Partition counterparts did – carry out the rule as per the wishes of the Centre typically when democratically elected governments of states does things that New Delhi’s sarkar bahadur do not like The office of the governor is an example of an anti-people undemocratic relic from the British rule Must we remind ourselves that what happened on 15 August 1947 was a transfer of power its repackaging as ‘independence’ notwithstanding People of a state Tamil Nadu included are neither stupid nor apprentice-citizens They are adults with inalienable rights of democratic representation Swaraj is a process not an event Abolishing the post of the governor will be a step in that direction It is not so much a ‘bad apple’ problembut a poison tree issue Why should unelected governors exist at all Los Angeles: A massive plume of volcanic ash burst from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano on Wednesday prompting authorities to issue warnings about air quality and the likelihood of a major eruption File image of a volcanic eruption erupts in Hawaii AP The Hawaiian County Civil Defence Agency said rock falls and gas explosions from one of the craters on Kilauea had caused the ash plume which was drifting downwind to the southwest Authorities said the ash cloud was as high as 3000 to 3600 meters and had prompted a code red aviation alert They warned that residents in the path of the cloud could experience respiratory problems and urged people to avoid exposure and to drive with caution The new burst of ash came as a new fissure opened on the Big Island where the crater is located bringing to 20 the total number of lava-oozing cracks caused by the volcano eruption on 3 May The Civil Defence Agency said dangerous gas was issuing from fissures near the Lanipuna Gardens subdivision which has been evacuated and urged residents to stay away "Condition RED means immediate danger to health so take action to limit further exposure" the agency said in a statement "Severe conditions may exist such as choking and inability to breathe "This is a serious situation that affects the entire exposed population" So far some 40 homes and other buildings have been destroyed by the lava that has been spewing from the volcano located on the southeastern part of Big Island Scientists say that as the lava level continues to drop in the crater more fissures are likely to open in the ground and have warned of a major volcanic eruption Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanos and one of five on the island the man who seized power
