January 5, 2021. 11:30 AM - The Judicial panel of Inquiry resumes its sitting. Arrived a tad bit late due the timing of my segment on the morning show. Don’t think I’ve missed much, no petitioner has been called forward. #ENDSARS

 Here are the petitioners set to testify today. By my count today makes for the 23rd sitting for the panel but who’s counting. #ENDSARS
The first witness in the case of Adebayo Abayomi is called forward, his name is Ibrahim Yusuf, he is the lead witness for Police legal counsel Cyril Ejiofor. Yusuf is sworn in and proceeds to give his testimony. #ENDSARS
“A team of policemen attached to Mushin Division were to arrest a certain Kayode Yusuf, he resisted and SGT.Chibueze shot in the air and hit Kudirat Adebayo. We later went to recover the body, all policemen were arrested except the shooter, he ran when we arrived at the station”
Their rifles were seized and a ballistics examination performed. The other police officers have been exonerated but Chibueze has been declared wanted and is still on the run till today.. #ENDSARS
Cross examination is taken over by legal counsel for petitioner, Uyime Eyo (haven’t seen his face in these parts must be new to JPI) #ENDSARS
E: What if I say the police isn’t doing their best to catch the policeman that killed Kudirat?
Y: There is a warrant for his arrest, his accounts have been frozen, if we find him he will be brought in. #ENDSARS
Legal counsel for the panel Jonathan Ogunsanya also has his own questions for the witness-
O: Are you saying no compensation has been given to this family?
Y: I’m afraid I’m not in the best position to answer that question. #ENDSARS
O: Was this case brought to the attention of the Inspector general of police?
Y: Yes, he’s aware.

After deliberating Justice Okuwobi for a written address of no more that 5 pages to besent in within the next 7 days and the case is adjourned to Jan. 26, 2021 #ENDSARS
The next petition for Adeyemo Rotimi, Ejiofor asks for an adjournment as their witness is absent. Opposing counsel reminds counsel that their case has been adjourned twice already,Justice Okuwobi adjourns to Jan 26, 2021 stating it be the last adjournment in favor of the police
The next petition in the case of Felix Lucky, where another witness Chigozie is called forward. He aims to have been very good friends with the deceased as they were both vigilantes at Jakande estate, Lagos.
The deceased had gotten into an altercation with a certain Sergeant John, Chigozie narrates the brutal killing of his friend. #ENDSARS
E: I want you to be specific, at what point did you learn Lucky was killed ?
C: Btw 8/9
E: Would you be surprised to know that your friend Lucky led boys to Ilasan police station?
C: I’m not aware of that #ENDSARS
E: Would it surprise you know that when Lucky approached the station the vigilante group me some opc members were present? Do you know that Lucky was naked with charms on his head he was shot by an OPC member?
E: No o
#ENDSARS
Did you know cultist members wanted Lucky’s head and he was infact by saved by police officers. #ENDSARS
Police counsel, Ejiofor rests his cross and opposing counsel chooses not to re-examine. Further hearing in this case is also adjourned to Jan 26, 2021. #ENDSARS
3:01 PM - Panel is back after a short recess, earlier today legal counsel for the Lekki Concession Company asked that the panel revisit their application to start operations. Technicalities spotted by petitioners’ counsel Ogunlana are backed up Police counsel Ejiofor #ENDSARS
Ogunlana asks that the status quo be preserved. He also states that more time is needed to conduct an Independent Forensics Examination costing approx. N25M which they can’t afford.

LCC Legal Counsel: If it were a private property would guy shut it down indefinitely? #ENDSARS
“We cannot sacrifice justice on the altar of speed, it would be foolhardy to say that the panel needs not conduct forensic evidence is not needed in this inquiry. A huge amount has been paid and the forensic team says it will take 21 days” - Justice Okuwobi #ENDSARS
The Lekki investigation as if affects the LCC is adjourned to January 29th for a further consideration of the application to reopen to Lekki Toll Gate Plaza.

THE LEKKI TOLL GATE WILL REMAIN CLOSED. #ENDSARS
There’s a petition witness who isn’t on the list. His name is Adebowale Ojekaiye (a rep from Reddington hospital) based on a summons issued by a petitioner to present medical records of patients checked in between 20th - 22nd of Oct 2020. #ENDSARS
Two consultants who work at reddington and also treated some of these patients are present. Unfortunately the can’t take the witness stand, the hospital documents are submitted as exhibits and this case is adjourned to Jan 30, 2021. #ENDSARS
The next petitioner, Marc Chidebere Nwadi is called forward. Ejiofor still can’t present the policeman “Friday” who assaulted Marc way back in 1999. Opposing counsel insists it’s the police job to investigate as produce the witness #ENDSARS
His case is adjourned to Jan 26, 2021 where the final address would be given. #ENDSARS
The next and final petitioner, Blessing Omorogie is called forward. However, petitioners’ counsel is not prepared for a cross examination as they haven’t had enough time to study the case. In that light, the petition is adjourned to Jan 26, 2021 #ENDSARS

BJP is planning to undertake 'Rath Yatra' in Delhi's riot-affected areas to seek donations for Ram Temple on Feb 1. In 1990, L.K. Advani had launched Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya.

This thread covers the large scale killing which took place during the Yatra and it's impact.

Between April 1989 and April 1990, 262 people died in Gujarat, mostly were Muslims. In October 1990, days after Advani’s yatra began, 41 were killed in Ahmedabad. The same month, 52 were killed in Jaipur, 20 in Jodhpur, 33 in Lucknow, over 100 in Delhi, 37 in Assam,

[1]


18 in Patna and 165 in Hyderabad. Also in October, a pogrom against Muslims in Bhagalpur, Bihar, saw 960 killed in which 900 were Muslims. In November, 31 were killed in Agra, again mostly Muslim and 13 in Indore. In Dec, 60 were killed in Karnataka and 134 in Hyderabad.

[2]

Many parts of India remained tense for long periods of time. Between April and May 1990, three riots in Kanpur killed 30; between May and November 1991 more than 50 were killed in Varanasi. In May 1991, 26 including 24 Muslims were killed in Vadodara.

[3]

In October 1992, 44 were killed in Sitamarhi. On 6 December 1992, immediately after the Babri Masjid was destroyed, pogroms against Muslims broke out in Surat where 200 died, of whom some 95 per cent were Muslims. In Bhopal in December, 143 were killed.

There is a recent new word in Chinese that I think deserves introducing into the Western neoreactionary canon.

The word is 内卷 (nei-juan) which has been translated as "involution". Originally a Chinese phenomenon it increasingly applies anywhere there is modernity.

To capture the essence of what "involution" means it helps to picture a spiral in your mind. Our modern narrative says that as we progress technologically we should progress OUT of the spiral and have more free time to be capable of ever more amazing things...


But what if the progression of technology and society actually sends us WITHIN the spiral in an infinite number of ever-decreasing circles? What if we are walking DOWN the spiral staircase of progress rather than UP?


"Involution" in its original meaning has been used to describe agrarian societies and how their development actually leads to self-perpetuating processes that prevent change and progress rather than encourage it.

Increased food production has limited many civilisations and sent them into stagnancy rather than allowed them to grow. This stagnancy can continue for millennia in safe environments till threatened, other times it drives the civilisation into extinction from external threats.

1 So, today we turn to early Islamic Beirut. what do we know of the earliest times of #Beirut under early Islamic rule, starting with the #conquest. How and when did Beirut enter the emerging Muslim empire? -rm


2 Let’s start with traditional sources for the early Islamic period. Of those, only al-Balādhurī (d. ca. 892), the Abbasid scholar, is informative. Other Muslim and non-Muslim sources including al-Ṭabarī's Tārīkh are silent on the matter.-rm


3 In his small tome, Futūḥ al-Buldān, al-Balādhurī tells his readers: “After the conquest of Damascus, Yazīd came to Sidon, ʿArqa, Byblos, and Beirut which lie on the sea coast with his brother Muʿāwiya leading the van of the army.”-rm

4 Hence, the men who conquered Beirut were Yazīd b. Abī Sufyān (d. 639) and his half-brother and future caliph Mu‘āwiya (r. 661-680). The date of the conquest of the coast falls between 636 and 639 at the latest, the date of the death of Yazīd in the plague of Emmaus. -rm


5 Yazīd and the Muslim army likely took the coastal road to Beirut, a path taken by numerous armies before. They would have either swung from Damascus to Baalbek through the Hims gap to ‘Arqa, then Byblos, crossed the Dog River, and arrived at the eastern side of Beirut.

In 2016,Turkey arrested Abdulkadir Yapcan, a prominent Uighur political activist living in the country since 2001 and initiated his extradition. In 2017, Turkey and China signed an agreement allowing extradition even if the purported offense is only illegal in 1of the 2️⃣countries


Since early 2019, Turkey has arrested hundreds of Uighurs and sent them to deportation centers. And Erdogan’s remarks have turned diplomatically bland, just like any Uighur-related coverage in newspapers controlled by Erdogan and his supporters.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।

Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework

Thanks for joining me @pluralsight to talk about javascript frameworks. We had 150+ awesome questions, so I'll try to answer the ones I couldn't get to online right here in a tweet stream

Watch the video -->
https://t.co/G7zeiKhXme


Q. Do arrow functions really make dealing with JavaScript's "this" keywords easier?

A. Yes! When using arrow functions, the scope of "this" is effectively passed in from the outer scope. See here in this REPL

1/n


Q. Where does Polymer fit in? Is it considered a framework like the others?

A. @Polymer is an excellent way to create web components, which are ideal for creating sets of interactivity that can be shared in web apps.

2/n

Q. Have we gone framework crazy?

A. At one time, quite possibly. A few years back we literally had framework overload. I feel it really has solidified into a few very strong choices.

3/n

Q. [Is] there no more need for @polymer?

A. See my previous question on this ... but in general, I think there is a lot of room for Web Components with frameworks.

Yoga Ramar Temple
#Nedungunam
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Yoga Ramar Temple is located near Thiruvannamalai. Shri Rama is seated with eyes closed, without any weapons. Mata Sita  pointing to the feet of Rama telling that  everyone is safe at his feet. Lakshmana standing near Shri Rama


Hanuman is seen chanting Vedas obediently sitting before Shri Rama.

Sthala Puranam says that, Sukabrahma Maharishi had been doing Tapasya here, for the darshan of Sri Rama. Prabhu Shri Ram, pleased with his tapasya, came here after Rama Ravana yudham. Since Rama was returning


after the war, he did not have any weapons with him.

Another gopuram called Kili Gopuram is there for Sukabrahma Maharishi. There is a hill nearby called Dheergachala. According to Sthala puranam, Sri Padham of Prabhu Rama are found on the top of the hill


It is said that this is the place where Shri Rama gave darshan to Suka Maharishi. Nedumgunam means which shows all qualities of Shri Rama who is Maryadha purushottam. Shri Ramanavami is very famous here.

Jai Sri Ram
