Four years ago, Paul Trudeau tried to figure out a way to raise fish he could prepare for dinner. “I like to eat fish, so I thought it’d be fun to raise our own fish,” he said. “I looked online about it and saw you can grow fish with vegetables.” His love for fish eventually led to the seedlings of his business, the Southside Aquaponic Farm, in the Southside Park neighborhood between Fifth and W streets in Sacramento. It’s the first commercial aquaponic operation in the city. Aquaponics combines aquaculture, or raising fish, with hydroponics, or growing plants without soil. The…

Washington and Caracas: hegemony vs maturity
20 May 2013 | 1:33 pmVenezuela's presidential election presents the United States with a historic choice, says Juan Gabriel Tokatlian. A wise comment made by Sandra Day O’Connor, who retired from the United States supreme court in 2006, has a certain relevance to Washington's dilemma over its attitude to Nicolás Maduro, the new president of Venezuela. The former judge, speaking to the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, had been asked about the court's role in the notorious controversy in 2000 when the result of the presidential election depended on the result in Florida. O'Connor recalled that the court… -

In May 2009 as the armed conflict between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the government of Sri Lanka came to a harrowing end, Sri Lanka’s genocidal offensive against the Tamil population of the North-East reached a peak. Four years on, as the Tamil nation – scattered worldwide through decades of oppression and armed conflict – remembers the massacre that… -
Europe after Europe: the other Europe in waiting

Glass ceiling and rock bottom: women in 2013 Britain
20 May 2013 | 5:31 amGender equality is on the rise amongst the British elite. But outside of this bubble, women are suffering disproportionately from austerity and its fall-out. Ask what factors are preventing women in Britain from possessing the same life chances as men and you’ll get a myriad responses. Workplace discrimination, covert and overt. The increasingly prohibitive cost of childcare. Pay disparity. Few would argue that the defining barriers are an inability to deliver a winning after dinner speech, toast or deftly network at a drinks reception. But that’s exactly what a number of prestigious…

YASIN MALIK IN CHENNAI
20 May 2013 | 6:27 pmYASIN MALIK IN CHENNAI During his recent address in Chennai, JKLF Chief Yasin Malik may have received a standing ovation when he said that, "Tamil Eelam is the goal of each and every Tamil person" and probably, even won over the audience to support the Kashmir cause. However, in accepting the invitation to speak on the issue of ‘Tamil Eelam’ in Chennai, Malik may have unwittingly committed a serious faux pas for two reasons- first, the timing of this meet and second, the audience he chose to address. No doubt that as a Kashmiri leader championing the cause for ‘the right to… -

By Abdumalik Kadirov A month after launching a new political party in Tajikistan, former industry minister Zayd Saidov has been arrested. His prosecution looks like a way of stopping him in his tracks before he can build up enough power to present a challenge to the current system. Saidov, 55, was taken into custody early on May 19 as he returned home from a foreign trip. Launched on April 9, his party, called New Tajikistan, did not position itself as an opposition force, and made it… -

Press aid in France: online press to pay same low taxes as printed press
3 May 2013 | 8:48 amThe reduced level of VAT that currently benefits the printed press in France thanks to a government aid program is due to be extended to the nation’s digital media publications as well, following demands from Spiil (Syndicat de la presse indépendante d’information en ligne). On 16 January this year, President François Hollande addressed the press with a "message of confidence" (see Le Figaro's article in French).

The Free Press Principle
3 May 2013 | 1:56 am3 May is a day to celebrate hard-won press freedoms, but also to recognise how fragile those victories remain. By WAN-IFRA Free the press! It is a familiar refrain, one that grows louder year-on-year yet never loses relevancy. Why should a free press even be up for discussion? Are we failing to get the message across? The simple answer is that the press equals power, and wherever power lies there are those who seek to control or influence it. By nature, a free press is untamed; capable of speaking unfiltered to public opinion, it has always been a vital conduit for free expression. It has… -

Beyond Nostalgia: ‘Children of Olcott’ Must Revisit History
19 May 2013 | 4:30 pmReview of: Mahinde Thamai Iskole (Mahinda is the School!) by Sundara Nihathamani de Mel (Suratha Publishers, Mt Lavinia, Sri Lanka; 220 pages; LKR 600 I have never been able to understand why apparently grown Lankan men instantly turn so nostalgic — and sometimes completely incoherent — at the mere mention of their primary or secondary school. Old school tie is evidently very strong among most of our men, often hilariously so. Thankfully women, many of who are just as loyal and grateful to their former schools, don’t descend to such immature behaviour. As one with no emotional… -
OPPOSITION MYTHS, POLITICAL REALITIES
18 May 2013 | 6:59 amImage courtesy Asianews.it Erroneous political thinking and analysis obscure and obstruct the path of the political recovery of the Opposition in Sri Lanka. They can be disaggregated into six myths. Myth 1 is that unity at all costs in the ranks of the main democratic opposition party is a necessary and sufficient condition of political success. The reality is that as in mathematics, any number into zero is zero. If the leader or candidate of the main opposition party is an electoral liability, internal unity only suffocates rather than liberates. If internal unity within parties is an… -
Reconciliation, Rights & Freedom: Four years after the end of war in SRi Lanka
17 May 2013 | 6:06 pmImage courtesy The Telegraph It is now 4 years after the end of the war. The way we Sri Lankans will remember the end of the war is likely to demonstrate once again how divided we are, as North and South, as Sinhalese and Tamils. Some Tamil friends in the North told me that they will try to have some events to remember the large numbers who were killed and disappeared, despite the past threats and intimidations. “We will try to have it quietly and low profile way” was what one friend told me. It is unlikely that families of those killed, disappeared, injured, those whose land has been… -

The consequences of political representation or the lack of it
16 May 2013 | 5:47 amImage from AsiaNews.it The focus of my article in the Sunday Leader of 5 May was on the need for Northern Provincial representation. It now looks as if those elections may be held in September 2013. I will elaborate on the likely consequences of representation, or the lack of it, drawing on past experience in Sri Lanka, India and the USA. All over Sri Lanka the bulk of the Muslim population are Tamil speakers. It was so almost 100% at every socio- economic level when the Official Language Act was enacted in 1956. But at that time the political leader ship of the Muslims were mostly…

Wade Robson, an Australian choreographer, while testifying at the infamous Michael Jackson's child abuse case, had said that he was not sexually assaulted by the pop star.

Our political leaders should follow the ideals of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
18 May 2013 | 3:33 amAs a mature nation, we must understand that what matters is not when or how Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose died but what matters is his unflinching courage in fighting against the might of British empire for the freedom of India, his call to his countrymen to give him blood so that he might give them freedom and his sacrifices for the nation.

Die Erde erwärmt sich langsamer als erwartet!
20 May 2013 | 6:21 amDer Studie zufolge wird die globale Erderwärmung in den nächsten Jahrzehnten nicht so schnell ablaufen, wie bisher vom Weltklimarat IPCC erwartet wurde. “Die extremsten Erderwärmungs-Szenarien, die in Klimamodellen für die nächsten 50 bis 100 Jahre berechnet wurden, sind damit weniger wahrscheinlich”, teilte die Universität Oxford über ihre Untersuchung mit. Berechnet wurde der künftige Temperaturanstieg auf Basis des Kohlendioxidgehalts in der Atmosphäre. In die Studie flossen zudem neue Temperaturdaten und Messungen zur Wirkung der Sonnenstrahlung auf die Atmosphäre… -

May 21 National Strawberries and Cream Day
20 May 2013 | 10:09 pmNational Strawberries and Cream Day! The simple combination of fresh sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream has been a popular dish for centuries. In fact, in medieval England it was customary for newlyweds to enjoy strawberries and soured cream for their wedding breakfast. The strawberry is the first fruit to ripen every spring and each refreshing bite contains high levels of Vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, and potassium. If you’re feeling experimental, there are many interesting variations on the classic strawberries and cream recipe. Try flavoring your whipped cream with amaretto… -

Should Convict Felons be given a second chance.
20 May 2013 | 10:06 pmAfter being released from prison almost two years ago. I have struggled to support myself. Being a convicted felon is not easy. I have work every job that would hire me. Again I say “that would hire me”. Not many people are willing to hire a convicted felon. I understand that there are risks to hiring a convict. When will those risks be put to rest? I recently applied for a job at a local home improve store. I received an interview and I disclosed everything about my past. I continued on further down the hiring process. I was told that my past didn’t matter because I disclosed it…

Do I always say, “Good game”?
20 May 2013 | 1:06 pmOn that great list of things I think I don’t want to be, near the top is “glib.” I don’t want to be all back slappy, all here’s-a-trophy-even-though-you-didn’t-do-much, all smiling and treacly. My daughter’s soccer team recently played in one of those excruciating ties. You know, after some ties, you’re kind of glad you made it out in one piece; after others, well, you should have had that one: This was one of the latter. Still, it was a well-played, hard-fought game by both sides. After the game, one of my favorite athletes, our hard-working, no-nonsense sweeper, was walking… -
Bad sports, good sports: Michael Vick rips his detractors
20 May 2013 | 7:30 amAs I mentioned back in February, the Philadelphia Eagles made the atrocious offseason move of bringing Michael Vick back for another season. It remains to be seen whether or not he is still the starting quarterback, and I guess it is not a certainty that he will even make the team, but I was certainly distressed to see him return. I suffered through several seasons of having him on my favorite team, the last two of which did not even have the benefit of him playing well. I was certain that he would be gone after last season, especially when head coach Andy Reid was sent packing, as he had… -

Relativity (Escher)

The time between appeared to have erased Both itself and the memory of what I’d done. Unhurt, staring up at the staircase, terrified Of forms and forces I now understood, I cried. There are many steps, floors, and bannisters In this ant people world, but only one sun. Yet all depends on the attitude of the stairs, Which share the simultaneity of the boson. Every direction ends in a shift of perspective, Hinting that the fifth dimension may be us, Each riser a mere extension of consciousness,… -
Vegetarianism: The journey to improve more than just diet
18 May 2013 | 4:30 amI recently read an article by someone who said the reason he stopped being a vegetarian was that vegetarians don’t see the big picture. The writer went on to say that not eating meat wasn’t solving bigger problems like the destruction of animal habitats or the depletion of resources, so he was done with it. Obviously, the author has a few shortcomings in sequential reasoning, but his point is valid to the point of inspiration. Not eating animals doesn’t create new habitats, plant trees, or reduce overpopulation. Vegetarians don’t necessarily have a positive net impact.

Both have people who have no idea how much damage they are doing to their church. Both have people who make terrible choices for very self-centered reasons. Both have people who have taken their eyes off Christ and have become unloving toward others.It is obvious that Romans 14 is laying down ground rules for dealing with actions that… -
