Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

  • Victory in Athens Kee Tetzee: August 28, 2004
    Victory in Athens Kee Tetzee: August 28, 2004 Although Alexander the Great is treated favorably in Jewish sources contemporaneous with his reign, for he is appropriately lauded for his benign reign and benevolent attitude towards his Jewish subjects, for the most part Greeks do not fare too well in rabbinic literature. The rabbis who, after all, were the individuals who created the modes and standards of Judaism took a dim view of the Greco-Roman world. Hellenistic and Hellenic cultures were lumped together and were seen as the antithesis of the world the rabbis sought to create. Their values clashed harshly with the teachings of our sages and their outlook. The hedonism, materialism and self-indulgence so much a part of the non-Jewish society was scorned. The concept of a pantheon of gods directly conflicted with the Jewish profession for a belief in monotheism. The cruelty of Rome, which imposed its rule and will on others was recorded in our Talmud, and preserved in the martyrology portion of the Yom Kippur liturgy stood in contrast to the system of mercy, compassion and caring for others, the world of hesed and rahmanus, the rabbis sought to devise. Repugnant to the rabbis was the whole concept of the glorification of the human body, as evidenced in the emphasis on athletic competition, especially since the contests were so often conducted in the nude. The rabbis preferred the spiritual realm over the physical, and the very symbol of the stadium with its allure was belittled, for it was the beit midrash, the house of study, where the rabbis felt true meaning, happiness, and eternal bliss could be found.

  • (Post)Political Power and International Sport: Examining the International Olympic Committee’S Journey to Permanent Observer Status at the United Nations
    (POST)POLITICAL POWER AND INTERNATIONAL SPORT: EXAMINING THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE’S JOURNEY TO PERMANENT OBSERVER STATUS AT THE UNITED NATIONS by NICOLIEN VAN LUIJK BPhEd, The University of Otago, 2007 M.A, The University of British Columbia, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Kinesiology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) NOVEMBER 2015 © Nicolien van Luijk 2015 ABSTRACT The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the United Nations (UN) have had an ongoing relationship over the past 80 years that culminated in granting the IOC Permanent Observer status at the UN General Assembly in 2009. This is an honor usually reserved for quasi-states and inter-governmental organizations: very rarely do non-governmental organizations (NGO) obtain this position. This dissertation critically examined the links between the IOC and the UN in a bid to gain an understanding of how and why the IOC obtained this status at the UN. Four research questions guided this study: (i) How, and in what contexts, has the UN engaged with the IOC in the past; (ii) Why/how is the UN currently engaging with the IOC; (iii) How/Why did the IOC obtain Permanent Observer status at the UN General Assembly; and (iv) What are the potential implications of the partnership between the IOC and the UN? In my pursuit of these questions, I drew in particular from the work of Dorothy Smith and Michel Foucault to aid my underlying examination of how forms of knowledge are socially constructed in ways that privilege some groups over others.

  • President's State of the Olympics in Australia Address Australian Olympic Committee Annual General Meeting Saturday, 4 May 2019
    PRESIDENT'S STATE OF THE OLYMPICS IN AUSTRALIA ADDRESS AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING SATURDAY, 4 MAY 2019 Introduction Good morning friends, one and all. A very special welcome to President Thomas Bach as the first IOC President to attend and address an AOC Annual General Meeting. President Bach, thank you for making wonderful history with us today. Friends, please welcome President Thomas Bach. Please also welcome the Director General of the IOC, Christophe De Kepper, IOC Member in Israel, Alex Gilady, President of the International Equestrian Federation and IOC Member, Ingmar De Vos and other friends from the IOC. And I repeat my earlier welcome to all of you, the members of the Australian Olympic family. ‘Autonomy and Independence’ and this year’s Address Ladies and Gentlemen The theme of this year’s ‘State of the Olympics in Australia’ address is ‘autonomy and independence.’ It is fitting, because we are in the presence of one of the great warriors for Olympic Autonomy and Independence, IOC President, Thomas Bach. No IOC President has, perhaps, ever felt so personally, the consequences of compromised Olympic autonomy and independence. An Olympic Gold medallist in Montreal, denied the chance to defend his title in Moscow…because politics usurped Olympism. There are three truths which emerge from the Moscow experience. 2 The first is that ‘autonomy and independence’ must be the Olympics shield and sword in defence of Olympians of all generations, including a twenty-seven-year-old foil fencer in 1980. The lesson must be: That autonomy and independence compromised is Olympism lost.

Christensen’s theory of disruptive innovation provides a framework to understand how businesses grow, become successful, and falter as nimble start-ups muscle in on their customers. It’s a familiar story, one that has played out in the steel and auto industries, among others. Now Christensen, in collaboration with 2012 Martin Wise Goodman Canadian Nieman Fellow David Skok, has applied his analysis to the news industry. Their goal in “Breaking News” is to encourage news executives to apply the lessons of disruption to the media industry as a means of charting new paths to survival and success.
