For more than two years, I have followed their work. At first, I wondered why they were returning to the seemingly settled events of the last decade when new and pressing conflicts threatened individual liberties and personal security in India and beyond. I was also skeptical about their ability to pierce through the thick veils of ideology, intrigue and "state security" that obscure our understanding of the campaign to pacify Punjab. My initial skepticism was appeased by the careful methodology of the research- ers. They systematically collected testimonies from across the region, transcribed them and invested hundreds of hours correlating these with public statements, docu- ments, and officials records. I also acquired a better understanding of the many motivations that animated them: they were not taking sides in a conflict; they did not expect to change history or right a history of wrongs with a single report. Rather, they sought to empower the families of disappeared to reclaim their dignity, to press the institutions of the state to perform their obligations, and to lay the ground work for an honest retelling of a tragic part of recent history. This would already be enough to legitimize the project. But current events in India and the world render the undertaking all the more relevant. When viewed in the light of police, court and crematoria records, the raw material of this report - the hundreds of testimonies - raise serious questions about the state's willingness to honestly address the problem of balancing justice and security. The testimonies tell a story of detainees cremated after their court ordered release, of "disappeared" policemen whose names are consistently forgotten, of high-level policemen who portray a simple story of good vs. evil. Even at a time when TADA reigned su- preme, the few judicial niceties still required appeared to be too much for the forces of law and order. Many of those who designed and implemented the policies in Punjab are still active today. They are treated as authorities on the subject of terrorism. At a time of renewed pressure on both courts and police to stop communal violence and pre- vent terrorism, this report should help enable a full discussion of the costs and benefits of previous action. There are many kinds of human rights reports: There are reports that shame, reports that shock, and reports that inform.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Demography, Diaspora and Diplomacy: New Zealand's Asian
    New Zealand Population Review, 36: 137-157. Copyright © 2010 Population Association of New Zealand Demography, Diaspora and Diplomacy: New Zealand’s Asian Challenges ANDREW BUTCHER * Abstract This policy note takes a long-term view of the challenges New Zealand may face in its relationship with Asia, both domestically and internationally. Drawing on research commissioned by the Asia New Zealand Foundation, the paper discusses three main areas. First, demographic changes present challenges for New Zealand’s bicultural relations, social policy, how we measure and understand ethnicity and issues of national identity. Second, New Zealand has one of the largest diaspora populations in the world, but this is largely ignored in policy especially with respect to Asia. Third, possible diplomatic challenges are outlined, including increased pressure on off-shore diplomatic posts by diaspora and tourist populations, diplomatic incidents, and the implications of shifting regional power arrangements in the Asia-Pacific region. Introduction n surveying a growing ‘Asian New Zealand’ population and New Zealand’s future in Asia, this article considers three themes: Idemographic changes, diaspora opportunities and diplomatic challenges. This paper follows Statistics New Zealand in identifying the Asian region as the part of the world that extends from Pakistan in the west to Indonesia in the east. It includes South Asia but excludes West Asia (the Middle East), Russia and its former states, and some countries that are on the Pacific Rim (such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand, which are all considered part of a broad ‘Asia-Pacific area in some forums such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the East Asia Summit).

  • Amrita Pritam ----She Lived by Her Own Rules Big Hike in Cash Prize for Sports Persons
    www.punjabadvanceonline.com Gandhi Jayanti (Oct 2) 2 Punjab Advance August 2016 Editorial Where is that glory that reverence the Punjab farmers enjoyed when they put everything at stake to usher in the Green Revolution. They responded to the call of the nation, abandoned the traditional farming methods in the late 1960s and 1970s and fell to the crafty advisers from the US and other countries to grow crops the American way – with chemicals, high- yielding seeds and irrigation. The selfless devotion of the Punjab farmer, saw the nation climb up the lad - der. From a beggar it became an exporter of grains. Yes the country food bowl was overflowing with grains, but at the cost of the dwindling groundwater of Punjab. The new miracle seeds produced far bigger yields, but they came with a catch: The thirsty crops needed much more water than natural rainfall could provide, so the farmers had to dig wells and irrigate with groundwater. The demand for more grains, saw the farmers pumping excessive groundwater to irrigate their crops resulting in a dramatic fall in the water table. The level began to drop more than 3 feet every year. Deeper water table meant high powered tubewells sucking out whatever was left deep down in the earth. The cost went up, the soil also started show - ing damage because of the chemicals. This is where the money lenders came into the picture. Excessive spending on agriculture because of low water table, bad soil and low MSP added to the woes. The mounting debts have taken their toll in farm suicides.

  • Fizzy Drinks Bad for Teeth
    Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji 551st Prakash Purb (Nov 30) 2 Punjab Advance November-2020 Editorial The three bills passed by the Punjab Assembly on October 21st, 2020, ostensibly to undo the Centre’s recently enacted farm reform laws, make a populist political point. Proof of it is the provision of “imprisonment of not less than three years and fine” for any purchase of produce at below the official Minimum Support Price (MSP). Farmers across the country are no doubt restive today. The fact that MSP doesn’t even find a mention in the laws enacted recently by the Cen - tre has fueled mistrustamong the farmers who fear that the time-tested regime is on its way out. Though the Union Government has been in - sisting that this system would continue, the farming community in Pun - jab and other states remain unconvinced. The Bills passed by the Punjab Vidhan Sabha seek to amend the Central legislation to ensure that wheat and paddy – the staple crops grown in the grain-surplus state – are not bought for not less than the respective MSP.Guaranteed MSP is certainly music to the toiling farmers’ ears. With the Central agencies procuring crops at best at the fixed MSP, some states have been offering a bonus – over and above the support price – to compensate the farmers. But the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) has cautioned that such moves create distortions in the market and affect the “balance of crops”. Let us agree, that the sparring over the terms of reference of the Fif - teenth Finance Commission (with southern states worried about the al - location if new population figures are taken into account), the controversies around the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime (with states unhappy with the Centre for failing to meet its commitments on compensation payments): and now Punjab’s decision to bring its own leg - islative framework on the farm bills all point to a new trend.
