Pakistani trans activist Dr. Mehrub Moiz Awan was removed from the panel of speakers at a TEDx conference at the International School Lahore (ISL) on August 20. The full official draft of her talk is as follows:

"In 2018, Pakistan became the first Muslim nation in the world to unanimously recognize transgender persons and grant them civil liberties and protections. Since then, we have gone on to become the only nation in the world to be represented by a transgender woman at a United Nations forum and have conferred national recognition to transgender activists Aisha Mughal and Dr. Sara Gill on the 23rd of March 2022. Ms. Bubbli Malik recently became the first transgender woman to speak on the floor of the National Assembly. The Punjab government has a schooling program for transgender persons, the Sindh government has a job quota for us, and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has a fund for monetary assistance for transgender persons. Slowly, we are inching towards acceptance and tolerance, both legally and socially. But very few of us know the history of how we got here, and who taught us hatred in the first place. Today, I want to narrate our history and our story in our words, on our terms. In many ways this is also my story, where I had to dig deep and understand my history, biology, psychology, and spirituality when none around me were willing to accept my existence. And it gives me immense joy to share with you all that I have learnt. This is a story of joy, resistance, struggle, victory, and eventual surrender to the Divine.

Understanding and acknowledging that all our problems started with the arrival of the British, and the new colonial gender regime that they imposed on us, is crucial to making Pakistan a more inclusive country. When the white man from Europe landed on the glorious shores of South Asia with his shallow agenda of loot and theft, he was mesmerized by our diversity, riches, culture, and splendor. He was used to the mundane dark life of the British island, where men and women tiptoed across rigid gender roles and unequal societies. We, contrastingly, were a culture rich with many genders and a variety of gender roles. Warrior queens and princesses, an appreciation of arts by all, male poets, and dancers, Sufi dervishes, and us – the khwajasiras. The first Portuguese travelers to Goa noted the unique presence of khwajasiras – loading and offloading ships, running businesses, dressed in beautiful feminine clothes, and wholly integrated in the South Asian society. All Muslim societies, especially those in South Asia, have had a rich history of gender-variant people. Khwajasiras were protectors of the female quarters, were allowed to pray alongside men in mosques, were guardians of all Sufi shrines in South Asia, and led the funeral prayers of Baba Bulley Shah in Kasur. However, after colonizing us the British deployed a coordinated strategy across many decades with a clearly communicated agenda – to eliminate khwajasiras, and all transgender people, from South Asia. This is the genocide, that the world doesn’t talk about, because it doesn’t know about it.

The British exacted this genocide in many ways. They introduced two sets of laws called the Criminal Tribes Act that stated that khwajasiras will be punished for two years in prison for wearing what they normally wear, feminine clothes. It also prompted the local police to maintain a register of all khwajasiras, and to continue surveilling them. Khwajasiras were forbidden to travel without first informing the police. And the senior British police bureaucracy constantly sent letters to local police to investigate whether the khwajasiras were committing “sodomy”. The British used the term “eunuch” for us, ignoring all the local words that already existed for us. Through this, the British over decades not only put khwajasiras under constant surveillance and criminalized their very existence, but they also created hateful police that were constantly suspicious of us. Even worse, the British associated khwajasiras with sodomy, and that negative perception exists to this very day.

When the British conducted the first census on our lands, they only counted men and women – refusing to count us – and thus my ancestors stopped being citizens of the modern Indian state that the British had created and could thus not participate in any activity of the new State structure. Criminalization, police torture, and surveillance on one end, refusal to provide any State services on another: the sinister project that the British started in 1860 continues even today. In summary, our public learnt hatred and violence from the British, their colonizers, and is still stuck in the same hateful loop.

We must all understand that colonization wasn’t just about capturing economic resources; it was simultaneously a racist project. Armed with the power of racist biology and unethical science, white scientists published multiple books about how the white race is genetically superior to other races and hence more evolved on the tree of evolution. One vital pseudo fact that they used was sex-difference. The racist logic went somewhat like this. Lower species have very minimal differences between the sexes, and as species evolve sex differences become more prominent. As human beings are the most evolved species, therefore sex differences are the highest among us. During colonization, white people came across civilizations where gender roles were markedly different from their regimented European roles, just like ours. Our colonizers stated that because men and women in our societies do things that are not considered masculine or feminine according to European standards, it means that in our races sex differences are not as high as white people, and hence we are an inferior race to the whites.

The Nawab of Lucknow was declared a “eunuch” by the Britishers, and his territories captured after a fierce war simply because he was a patron of Eastern classical music, kathak dance, and fine Urdu poetry. Many women and khwajasiras lined battlefields to fight the all-male British army. Tawayifs helped rebels and fighters by hiding them in their quarters. All of this gave our colonizers immense anxiety, and to ensure their rule upon us they felt they must establish a gender regime where women are locked away in houses making tea (just like their British counterparts) and the brown man is the slave to the white ruler.

Parroting the British Protestant stories of the Prophet Lot, and using English words like sodomite, homosexual, degenerates, cross-dressers, and perverts, an entire generation of scholars was prepared that not just hated us, the khwajasiras, but wanted us eliminated altogether. Yet here we stand today; alive, successful, and proud of our existence. Because according to us, it was Divine will that saved us then, and it is His power that will make us thrive further. We aren’t pretending to be men or women; we are being who we are, what we feel, what we know, and where we want to be. We aren’t a gender; we are a people!

Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? Identities are fascinating delusions of our modern times. They are the core to how we communicate, live, socialize, and die. We are a name, a race, a gender, a nationality, an occupation, a religion, and so on. How many of these did you choose yourself? Or shall I rephrase, how many of these were you given the chance to choose? If we are all agents of free-will and will be tried and tested in front of a human or Divine court of law, we must have the freedom to choose as well. Otherwise, we are being rewarded, or punished, for the choices someone else made for our identity. God makes no mistakes. We aren’t a mistake. In the Garden of God, there are not just two types of flowers; there are many, beyond our counting abilities. Diversity, and heterogeneity, is the order or nature; gender binaries are unnatural, artificial, and engineered.

I was four years old, in kindergarten, and on the first day when my teacher asked all of us to divide into boys and girls, I naturally moved and stood with the girls. She laughed, told me that was wrong, and made me stand with the boys. I was 5 and 6 when complaints and letters were sent to my parents every month stating that your son is too feminine, plays with girls, and talks like them; fix him! I was barely 10, when multiple adolescent males began moving on me sexually and coercively, telling me that girly boys like me deserve this treatment. I was in an all-boys school when I was constantly bombarded with slurs and abuses, many of which I still get on my social media from educated men and women. In my biology classes, while studying endocrinology I always had to leave class and hide in a bathroom because every time Klinefelter Syndrome was mentioned, everyone would point at me and laugh. Klinefelter Syndrome is a biological condition where individuals are born with an extra X chromosome and classified as intersex. And in my medical school, the cursed word of being gay or homosexual dangled over my head for 5 years straight. I have been beaten, locked away in the dark, punished, called out, degraded, humiliated, raped, and almost killed for having a limp wrist, a slender body, and whatever you consider feminine. But I stand here, proud of my existence, and thankful to the Divine for making me who I am. I shouldn’t have had to endure all of this – the science is clear on the existence of people like me. Countless years of research and wisdom now exists stating that transgender people are valid, their gender identities are valid, and that by making our society more inclusive we improve the living conditions for everyone. Then what is this invisible phenomenon that still makes us hate people that are different from us, or don’t neatly fall on the gender binary?

Gender binaries are made by societies that want to lock people in a strict reproductive order where a calculated number of poor people must be produced every generation to provide services and labor to the minority elite. Failure to do so means that you will be punished in the worst manner possible. You must marry within your class, caste, creed, sect, social status, and if you don’t you will be hunted down and killed, legally prosecuted, or shunned to a life of social exclusion. But we the khwajasiras are beyond this, and hence we present a possibility; a chance of being yourself, true to your soul. We look at life as a journey of Ishq, the search for the self, and through that the search for the Divine. We present the possibility of looking at rigid gender binaries, roles, and customs straight in the eyes and telling them that we are complete individuals made by the Divine and on a journey to live life as our mind, heart, and soul tells us to. And this threatens and frightens the rigid order of gender, known as heteropatriarchy.

If I was not who I am, I wouldn’t know Haq from Baatil, Truth from Falsehood, and Liberty from Oppression. I am free of the confines of social gender binaries, coded and recoded by oppressive rulers, white and brown, and enforced by patriarchal men and women. I am free from this slavery of reproduction, where you all MUST reproduce, and your worth is calculated by how many sons you produce. I am not an insentient uterus, nor am I a toiling breadwinner without any passion or dreams. I am a traveler, a lover, a poet, a warrior, and a broken cup whose cracks are filled with gold and silver. I am all that you were never allowed to be. And that is what makes me special, and hence a target. My being transgender has taught me that too often we categorize behaviors and actions as boyish or girlish when they are neither. Who decided that blue is for boys and pink is for girls? Or that boys must play sports and girls must play with dolls? Why can’t we let kids be kids and allow adults to choose their hobbies and passions, without force fitting everything into a neat category of “for men” and “for women”? Imagine a world where we celebrate people for their talents and passion, and not for how manly or womanly they are. That sounds like liberation to me.

To all young queer and trans people, hold your fort; God has sent you with a plan and purpose and in due time you will find it. To the parents of gender variant people, may God give you the courage to open your eyes to love and shun away the hate that history and patriarchy has taught you. To teachers and school, may God give you the empathy and power to make gender inclusive classrooms where children learn to appreciate each other for their differences instead of bullying. To employers and businesses, may God give you the sense to hire people without the baggage of gender identity and bias. And to all humanity, may you recognize the love and diversity present within you, as gifted by the Almighty already."

Ten cricket documentaries on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime to keep you hooked during the lockdown

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/ten-cricket-documentaries-on-youtube-netflix-and-amazon-prime-to-keep-you-hooked-during-the-lockdown/

Ten cricket documentaries on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime to keep you hooked during the lockdown

Missing live cricket? There’s a plethora of cricket documentaries on various streaming platforms to help kill the boredom at home. In our list — drawn out in no particular order — there’s plenty of Caribbean flair, IPL action and rare behind-the-scenes footage of various dressing rooms.

Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians

Streaming on: Netflix

Starved of IPL action? This eight-part Netflix series, released last year, follows the fortunes of the IPL’s most successful and wealthiest franchise, Mumbai Indians, during their 2018 season. Starting from the auction that preceded it, a television crew is given a rare pass to the dressing room of the then defending champions. As you relive the tournament, you get to ride the emotions of the players and fans during an unusually difficult season. Watch the players grapple with issues of form, expectations from fans, media commitments and more. What stands out is the snippets of players re-visiting their homes and grounds where they fell in love with the game.

Branded a Rebel

Streaming on: YouTube

The most political documentary in this list. In the midst of their two-decade long sporting isolation due to apartheid, South Africa secretly held talks in the early 1980s with the world’s top cricketers to play a series of unofficial games in the country, known as “Rebel Tours”. With the world vehemently opposed to the brutal apartheid regime, it was always a tough call for cricketers to tour there. “Branded a Rebel” focuses on the most controversial of those tours, by the West Indies players in 1983.

The money was tempting, but while many of their top stars declined, those who took the bait were made to regret their decision till this day. “Mercenaries” at home, “honorary whites” in another country, the West Indies players who made the trip, including Colin Croft, Lawrence Rowe and Alvin Kallicharran, returned home to lifetime bans by the West Indies cricket board. Many of the players, like David Murray, succumbed to a life of drugs and isolation.

The Test: A new era for Australia’s Team

Still from ‘The Test’

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

This newly released eight-part documentary follows the Australian men’s team over 18 months following the Sandapapergate controversy in 2018 that led to bans for two of their best batsmen Steve Smith and David Warner, and the team’s reputation in tatters. A film crew gets unprecedented access to an Australian dressing room that reveals vulnerabilities and extreme moods of the players and coaches as they pull on through a difficult period. Head coach Justin Langer gets generous airtime as he talks us through the team’s image rebuilding exercise. The producers got the script they wanted, with Australia retaining The 2019 Ashes and winning (back) some admirers along the way.

Crossing the Line

Streaming on: YouTube

Now let’s rewind to what really happened during Sandpapergate. “Crossing the Line” is a one episode documentary on Australia’s Test tour of South Africa in 2017-18, arguably one of the ugliest series in recent memory for its controversies. Before even getting to the ball-tampering scandal, we had the staircase altercation between David Warner and Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada shoulder barging Steve Smith, Warner’s mouthy send off to AB de Villiers, and more. When the host broadcasters caught the Australians using sandpaper to alter the condition of the ball, the muck had hit the fan. The documentary, though interviews with leading commentators, focuses on the Australian team’s toxic culture, and their win-at-all-costs approach that cost them dear.

Lara

Streaming on: YouTube

Brian Lara’s 1994 began with his car being stolen in his native Trinidad, and ended with him breaking the world records for the highest Test score (375), highest first-class score (501) and with the world wanting a piece of him (small mercy that selfies didn’t exist then). This one-part British production follows Lara’s movements from the home series against England in 1994 where he broke the Test record, his prolific county season with Warwickshire where he scored centuries for fun, and also when the going wasn’t as much fun with whirlwind media commitments, endorsements, other commercial obligations and the hectic traveling. The crew also visits his village near Santa Cruz and a coaching stint with underprivileged black kids in Soweto shortly after apartheid was lifted in South Africa.

India vs Pakistan: A Bat and Ball War

Streaming on: YouTube

From pitch vandalism to snakes, the Pakistan team had all sorts of security threats thrown at them when they arrived in India in 1999, for their first Test tour of the country since 1987.This one-part documentary goes behind the scenes of the thrilling two-Test series, starting with the cliffhanger in Chennai, remembered for Pakistan’s jailbreak, followed by a standing ovation. Only a foreign film crew could have waded through the hair-splitting bureaucracy to get access to the visitors’ dressing room and private parties. This series, unlike previous tours, was anything but dull and nor is this documentary.

Fire in Babylon

Streaming on: YouTube

Here we go again. Another one on West Indies? It’s because they were just so bloody good at one time. If you are the type always looking back wistfully at the time they were world beaters, this feel-good documentary is for you. Fire in Babylon begins as a socio-political history of West Indies cricket, set against the backdrop of black oppression in the 1970s. After a horrific tour of Australia in 1975-76 – the racial abuse from the crowds adding insults to several injuries – Clive Lloyd scouts the islands for the most terrifying fast bowlers and for 15 years, West Indies never lose a Test series. Several West Indian legends talk us through what made them near invincible for close to 20 years, and answer the uncomfortable question whether their intimidatory tactics fell within the spirit of the game.

Botham: The Legend of ‘81

20 Jul 1981: Ian Botham of England hooks Geoff Lawson of Australia for four on his way to 149 not out during the third Test match at Headingley in Leeds, England | Photo Credit: Adrian Murrell

Streaming on: YouTube

This BBC one-part show goes behind the cult of Ian Botham, with the focus on his single-handed control over the 1981 Ashes series at home. In less than five years since his debut for England, Botham’s career had come a full circle. Captaincy was a nightmare for him and when his form slumped, he was relieved of the leadership midway through the 1981 series. That launched the beginning of “Botham’s Ashes” with his Headingley miracle, he was the toast of England all over again. Celebrities and politicians feature here, including John Major, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Stephen Fry. The programme also goes behind the scenes on how his stardom got to him, put a strain on his family and how he gave back to society with his fund-raising walks towards leukaemia research.

Viv Richards: King of Cricket

Viv Richards

Streaming on: YouTube

You can never get too tired of watching the swagger of Viv Richards, with or without the bat. This Channel 4 1985 documentary was released when King Viv was at his peak, having recently taken over the West Indies captaincy from Clive Lloyd. Alongwith rare footage of international cricket in the Caribbean in the 1980s, you also get to see Richards going back to his beach cricket roots in Antigua, driving down the highways in England when playing for Somerset, bonding with one of his best mates Ian Botham at social gatherings.

Cricket in the 80s: Rookies, Rebels, Renaissance

Streaming on: YouTube

The Australians set the gold standard of cricket coverage in the 1970s thanks to Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket. Some of the best archival footage of cricket comes from that country so you can expect high standards from their documentaries too. Rookies, Rebels… follows Australian cricket’s most tumultuous decade, where they suffered their most prolonged form slump in history, due to the sudden exodus of greats like Greg Chappell and Dennis Lillee to retirement and a host of fringe players to a Rebel Tour of South Africa, captained by Kim Hughes, for which they served bans. Captain Allan Border and coach Bob Simpson steer the young side through choppy waters and as the decade winds down, they lift the 1987 World Cup and thrash England 4-0 in the 1989 Ashes.

Cash, Kings and Kohli: The IPL's $2.5 billion juggernaut

It is an accolade pinned onto the end of his playing days, won at a time when such competitions were met in some quarters with disdain, cast off as exhibitions and little more than a final payday.

Yet, leading the Rajasthan Royals to an IPL title in 2008 is, perhaps, among Warne’s most underrated achievements. And as the event’s 12th edition prepares for takeoff, there have been few more significant figures in the tournament’s history.

Inextricably linked to Test cricket — the game’s traditional pinnacle — by virtue both of his rule over the format and the era in which he dominated the sport before the Twenty20 juggernaut had reached full flight, it is easy to forget Warne’s importance to the IPL in its early days.

He played a key role in easing initial skepticism over a competition that has since revolutionized cricket.

His Rajasthan Royals team had been widely discounted as a threat. As Warne recalls, speaking to CNN: “The only consistent thing in 2008 was that everyone wrote us off and said the Royals would come last.”

He was both captain and coach. Of the eight brand new franchises, the Royals were the least glamorous, without a star Indian name, and had cost the least ($67 million) when the outfits were initially to put up for auction.

Yet, he led his Jaipur-based side to glory in the inaugural competition. In a league founded on gluttonous wealth, it was — in relative terms — a victory for the little guy. The story ignited a flame, a fire that burns brighter than ever 11 years later.

An ‘underdog story’

“I think [we] helped give the IPL credibility because the underdog came good,” Warne says.

“To then go and win it in the style we did, that put the IPL on the map. Any underdog story like that — you look at Leicester City, what they did. It’s a pretty amazing story.

“I was very lucky to play in an era of Australian cricket where we were super-successful. We beat every team home and away, won World Cups, Ashes series, so we had some huge results.

“To be part of all of that with the Aussies and do those things was great but the IPL, it was completely different,” he explains.

For a sport so rigidly traditional, the sheer idea of a franchise-based tournament, with players allocated to newly-created teams through an auction, would take some getting used to.

These days, however, the format is all the rage and similar entities now exist across the cricketing globe.

“You’ve got to remember that no one knew what to expect in that first [IPL] year,” Warne reflects. “‘What do you mean there’s going to be owners putting up a paddle to buy players? What do you mean there’s six different cultures all in different teams [playing] with young Indian players?’

“There’s me, this has-been cricketer who had retired 18 months beforehand. [The other teams] all had their coaches with them and I’m the captain-coach. We lose the first game and go on to win it.”

They were soundly beaten by the Delhi Daredevils, before winning their next five games. Warne, the only non-Indian to captain a team in 2008, references Brendon McCullum’s unbeaten century in the league’s first ever fixture as another defining factor, an indicator of the levels that could be reached.

‘Amazing growth’

Warne is speaking at the launch of the Rajasthan Royals Academy at Reed’s School in Surrey. The first of its kind in the UK, it is an initiative that reinforces the exponential commercial growth of a six-week tournament.

“It’s amazing how quickly [the IPL] has grown,” reflects Warne. “After only 10 years, I think when you consider all the other big franchise sports, this will be the fastest growing huge franchise.”

In 2017, Star India purchased the global broadcast rights to the tournament from 2018 to 2022 for $2.55 billion. For a competition that lasts six weeks from beginning to end, it is a figure that highlights the league’s enormous reach. It marked a five-fold upsurge on the initial agreement.

Indeed, the league’s first broadcast deal — a 10-year arrangement with India’s Sony Television network and the Singapore-based World Sports Group (WSG) — was worth $1.026 billion across the decade. The contract included a $908 million fee for the telecast rights, as well as a further $108 million for the tournament’s promotion.

“Some of the pay packets for the players are huge,” Warne adds. The Australian legend cost Rajasthan $450,000 when he was picked up at the tournament’s first auction.

At the 2014 auction, Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s signature fetched $2.3 million. In 2015, the same player was bought by the Delhi Daredevils for $2.7 million.

“The global reach and eyeballs that are watching these games is probably more than any other sport worldwide,” Warne says of the ever-growing numbers attached to the competition. “The global interest in the IPL and on their franchises is huge.”

Virat Kohli — India’s superstar

Perhaps, there is no greater validation of the IPL’s success since than Virat Kohli. Arguably the world’s leading batsman across all of the sport’s three formats, Warne sees a fundamental link between the India skipper’s improvement and his IPL experience.

“Don’t underestimate the IPL and the opportunities and what it has done for Indian cricket,” he says.

“I remember Virat Kohli was very young when I first played in 2008. He couldn’t really play the short ball.

“But being exposed to all the fast bowlers that were around at his franchise in Bangalore, suddenly [he was] practicing against it all the time, playing against it all the time, when at that stage they didn’t experience that in India.

“There are 10 guys in the IPL now that can bowl at 150 kilometers per hour, so they’re facing it all the time and they have got better.”

Such is Kohli’s talent — his personal statistics, especially in one-day cricket, are historically unparalleled — he has remained a cheerleader for Test cricket even as the IPL has risen as an aspiration for any young Indian.

“I think we’re very lucky in this era,” Warne says. “We’ve got Virat Kohli who’s currently the biggest superstar in cricket saying: ‘Test cricket is the most important form of the game.’

“So that flows onto the Ranji Trophy (India’s first-class competition), and now suddenly that’s more important, so all these players want to perform in the Ranji Trophy to get picked.

“That creates more interest in Test cricket, more people watching, more people attending. That has a follow-on effect to the world game. Young kids these days have so many more opportunities, a young boy or girl can go play T20 if they want to, but they still always have Test cricket if they want to.

“The most important thing is to play for your country. If you do that well and are lucky enough to have that opportunity, the rest of it will look after itself.”

Unrivaled legacy

At his very best, Warne’s ability to spin the ball at speed made him unplayable.

His talent truly arrived on the global scene in 1993; the image of his delivery to Mike Gatting, christened the ‘ball of the century’, has more than stood the test of time.

He was named the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World on three separate occasions, and one of Wisden’s five cricketers of the 20th century. As a legacy, Warne’s is unrivaled — the sport’s greatest ever leg-spinner.

A man of 708 Test wickets, Warne is well aware of the challenges facing five-day cricket amid reports of dwindling interest levels. He, though, is remaining upbeat; encouraged by his position on the MCC’s World Cricket Committee.

READ: How to solve cricket’s ball tampering problem?

READ: What is ball tampering?

“We just had the numbers presented to us,” he says. “The one that stood out was that this is the highest interest rate of Test match cricket. So, the attendances might be down a little, but the interest and people watching and the eyeballs is much more than it’s ever been.

“Now, is that because there’s more access? 33% of the worldwide public watch everything on a tablet or iPad, so kids will be watching anything they want to watch on that. There’s television, social media, there’s so many different outlets.”

Indeed, last year’s IPL final between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings drew a peak of 10.3 million simultaneous viewers on online platform Hotstar: a record for the live streaming of any event worldwide.

A land of opportunity

The sheer scope of the IPL in a cricket-obsessed nation has allowed Warne to look back at his Rajasthan success with a rare satisfaction. More than simply winning in 2008, the Australian legend’s greatest influence was in his methods.

The victory would be the making of Ravi Jadeja, then an unheralded 19-year-old. A decade on, he is one of the world’s best spinners, an integral part of India’s national side. The form of Yusuf Pathan, who had only recently arrived on the scene, would propel him into the top tier of T20 sluggers. He would join the Kolkata Knight Riders for $2.1 million in 2011 IPL auction.

“If you think of the IPL, there is a lot of downtime,” Warne explains. “There is a lot of time in hotels, a lot of time traveling, in airports waiting in lounges, on buses.”

A notion he repeats is that of “opportunity:” the chance for youngsters to soak up as much knowledge as possible from their star colleagues and to change their lives.

As Warne says: “To sit around a dressing room for Yusuf Pathan, Jadeja and a few other young Indian players; to be mixing with players like Shane Watson, Graeme Smith — who was captain of South Africa, myself as well as captain and coach; to interact and watch the way we train; to pick their brains — ‘How do you face this type of bowling? What you would do in a certain situation?’

“That was something that I did for the first four years as captain and coach. I just said: ‘Okay guys, ask questions.'”

The Royals were the heart-warming tale that the IPL needed. Cynicism was replaced by a recognition of the league’s possibilities.

“If you think of just India, there are 1.3 billion people and they all love cricket, let alone the rest of the population of the world,” Warne explains.

Visit CNN.com/Sport for more news, features and videos

“The opportunities are there. A lot of players who might be on the fringe and might not have had the opportunity to play against international players on a regular basis, suddenly have because people are looking for a great buy — paying ‘unders’ for a decent player.

“For the opportunity for the younger player to grow now and be part of a franchise — even if they don’t play — just to watch and experience it and get them hungry for it, is a huge thing.

“I think the IPL is probably the biggest learning curve for any player — whether you’re an experienced player or a young player. I think the young player obviously benefits the most.”

The competition has become a breeding ground for the sport’s next generation. Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, as well as Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane, are proof that neither age nor nationality act as barriers.

Meanwhile, the development of Rishabh Pant — voted the competition’s emerging player of the year in 2018 — into a major part of India’s squad is a reminder of the IPL’s impact on its own shores.

As Warne sums up: “The IPL has really helped the Indian team, but it has also helped other countries as well.”

Crawford Connection

Crawford students in the news

Fashion exudes culture

Muslim girls from refugee camps exposed to styles in home countries at show in Leucadia home

Two years after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, Sarah Ansari launched Artizara, a San Diego-based modest Muslim fashion line designed to showcase the positivity and diversity of Muslim immigrants like herself who have made America their home.

On Sunday, the Pakistan-born designer passed her message on through a new generation of immigrant girls who arrived in San Diego from refugee camps in Africa, Asia and the Middle East over the past six years.

In a fashion show for about 150 guests at Ansari’s oceanfront home in Leucadia, the outdoor catwalk was shared by 11 professional models sporting Artizara’s spring 2019 fashion line and 10 local immigrant girls wearing the colorful cultural costumes of their home countries.

Kicking off the show on Sunday with a brief speech was 18-year-old Habon Hassan, whose Somali family spent six years in a Kenyan refugee camp before arriving in San Diego in 2014. Now a senior at Crawford High School, she will start college next fall with the goal of becoming an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN).

Hassan said that in 2018, just 1,200 international refugees arrived in San Diego, a city with a population of more than 1.4 million. As a result, most San Diegans may never encounter a new refugee, so Hassan said locals don’t have a “reference point” for relating to the newcomers.

“Refugees are coming from all over the world,” she said. “They wear different clothes, they come from different backgrounds and they eat different foods ... but all of them have the same goal — to contribute to society.”

Hassan is one of 19 young women enrolled in the International Rescue Committee’s Refugee Girls Academy in San Diego, which was the beneficiary of all ticket sales on Sunday. Founded three years ago in City Heights, it’s an after-school program that provides empowerment, social, emotional, financial and career training to recently arrived refugee girls.

Most of the academy members arrived in San Diego within the past two years from Ethiopia, Syria, Uganda, Tanzania, Thailand, Kenya, Somalia and Congo.

The yearlong program is offered at Crawford and Hoover high schools in San Diego and at El Cajon Valley High School. It’s also offered for youth who are not in school, ages 16 to 24, at the El Cajon office of the International Rescue Committee.

Refugee Girls Academy Coordinator Allison Ware said the program was developed to provide these young women with the tools they’ll need to survive, thrive and compete equitably in their newly adopted home country.

The girls learn skills like goal-setting, perseverance, career and college preparation, boundary-setting and social justice, as well as how to have healthy relationships with peers, family members and romantic partners.

Academy member Halimo Yero, 16, immigrated to San Diego from Ethiopia in 2013. The Crawford High student said the biggest challenge she faced when she arrived was learning English and overcoming her shyness.

“The program has really helped me to become more outgoing and confident,” said Yero, who volunteered as a greeter at Sunday’s fashion show.

Ansari invited the academy students to take part in Sunday’s fashion show after being invited last fall to speak to the girls about careers in fashion. In a follow-up discussion between the girls and Artizara employees, Ansari said they came to a shared conclusion about what fashion means to them.

“The clothes we wear are so much more than fashion,” Ansari said. “They are like a second skin. They are a powerful symbol of who we are. They speak about us before we ever open our mouths. They represent not only our personal sense of style but also our mood, culture, values and identity.”

Ansari grew up in Pakistan, where math, not fashion, was her passion. After earning her MBA, she and her husband, cardiologist Athar Ansari, moved to the U.S. in 1990. They settled in Los Angeles, where she worked in banking and finance before they moved to San Diego in 1999. They now split their time between homes in Alpine and Leucadia.

In 2003, she launched Artizara with a fellow Muslim woman friend who was an engineer at Qualcomm. Both had been frustrated over the difficulty of finding attractive, modest, professional attire. Ansari doesn’t wear a hijab or headscarf, but she also doesn’t wear short skirts or short-sleeved tops.

Thanks to write-ups in the Washington Post and New York Times, Artizara took off. Ansari bought out her partner and gradually developed and positioned the brand to become one of the top emerging modesty fashion and lifestyle brands in the world.

The company’s extensive product line includes floor-length kaftan-style dresses, long-sleeved tunics and pants, turbans, head and neck scarves, men’s and children’s wear, purses, jewelry, throw pillows and wall art.

Artizara’s designs are based on classical Islamic art and poetry. The spring 2019 line was inspired by the words of Rumi, a 13th century Sufi poet.

“His poetry focuses on love and the opening of one’s heart to the universe around us,” Ansari said. “I think our collaboration with our inspiring volunteers did just that. *Reposted article from the UT by Pam Kragen of March 20, 2019

Sold to China as a bride, she came home on brink of death

MAZAIKEWALE, Pakistan — Sold by her family as a bride to a Chinese man, Samiya David spent only two months in China. When she returned to Pakistan, the once robust woman was nearly unrecognizable: malnourished, too weak to walk, her speech confused and disjointed.

“Don’t ask me about what happened to me there” was her only reply to her family’s questions, her cousin Pervaiz Masih said.

Within just a few weeks, she was dead.

David’s mysterious death adds to a growing body of evidence of mistreatment and abuses against Pakistani women and girls, mainly Christians, who have been trafficked to China as brides.

AP investigations have found that traffickers have increasingly targeted Pakistan’s impoverished Christian population over the past two years, paying desperate families to give their daughters and sisters, some of them teenagers, into marriage with Chinese men. Once in China, the women are often isolated, neglected, abused and sold into prostitution, frequently contacting home to plead to be brought back. Some women have told The Associated Press and activists that their husbands at times refused to feed them.

A list attained by the AP documented 629 Pakistani girls and women sold to China as brides in 2018 and up to early 2019. The list was compiled by Pakistani investigators working to break up the trafficking networks. But officials close to the investigation and activists working to rescue the women say that government officials, fearful of hurting Pakistan’s lucrative ties to Beijing, have stifled the investigations.

“These poor people have given their daughters for money, and (in China) they do whatever they want to do with them. No one is there to see what happens to the girls,” said Samiya’s cousin, Masih. “This is the height of cruelty. We are poor people.”

David’s death, at the age of 37, shows the extremes of the cruelties trafficked women face. Other women have described being cut off without support, abused physically and mentally. Previously, the AP spoke to seven girls who were raped repeatedly when forced into prostitution. Activists say they have received reports of at least one trafficked bride killed in China but have been unable to confirm.

David now lies buried in an unmarked grave in a small Christian graveyard overgrown with weeds near her ancestral village of Mazaikewale in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province.

Before her marriage, she lived in a cramped two-room house with her brother Saber and her widowed mother in Francisabad Colony, a congested Christian neighborhood of small cement and brick houses in a warren of narrow streets in the Punjab city of Gujranwala. Christians are among the poorest in Pakistan, a mostly Muslim nation of 220 million people.

At the urging of a local pastor, her brother took money from brokers to force her into marriage with a Chinese man. The pastor has since been arrested on suspicion of working with traffickers. A few months after their marriage in late 2018, David and her husband left to China. “When she left for China she was healthy. She looked good and strong,” said Masih.

Her husband was from a relatively poor, rural part of eastern Shandong province that has long struggled with lawlessness. The conservative culture in such areas strongly favors male offspring, which under China’s strict population control policies meant that a great deal of little girls were never born, hence the demand for trafficked foreign wives. Overall, China has about 34 million more men than women.

After two months, her brother got a phone call telling him to pick his sister up at the airport in Lahore. He found David in a wheelchair, too weak to walk.

The AP met David in late April. Living again in the house in Francisabad Colony, she showed her wedding photos, taken six months earlier. In one, she was dressed in a white gown, smiling, looking robust, with long, flowing black hair.

David barely resembled the woman in the picture. Her cheeks were sunken, complexion sallow, her tiny frame emaciated and frail. She seemed confused, her speech incoherent. When asked about her wedding or time in China, she lost focus — her words wandering — and at one point suddenly stood to make tea, mumbling about the sugar. She paced, repeating, “I am ok. I am ok.” When asked why she looked so different in the wedding photos, she stared vacantly into space, finally saying, “There is nothing wrong with me.”

“She has the evil eye,” said her brother, who was present at the interview.

She died a few days later, on May 1.

Dr. Meet Khan Tareen treated Samiya on her one visit to his clinic in Lahore.

“She was very malnourished and very weak,” with anemia and jaundice, he said in an interview. Preliminary tests suggested several possible ailments, including organ failure, and he said he told her brother she needed to be hospitalized. “She was so malnourished . . . a very, very, very low weight,” he said.

Her death certificate listed cause of death as “natural.” Her brother has refused to talk to the police about his sister. When contacted by the AP in November, he said there was no autopsy and that he had lost her marriage documents, copies of her husband’s passport and the pictures David had showed the AP.

David’s cousin said the family is hiding the truth because they sold her as a bride. “They have taken money. That is why they are hiding everything,” said Masih, who is a member of the town’s Union Council, which registers marriages and deaths.

Breaking a family’s silence is difficult, said a senior government official familiar with the investigations into the sale of brides.

“They might sell their daughters, and even if they discover that the marriage was bad or she is suffering, they would rather ignore it than lose face in front of friends and family,” he said on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

The trafficking networks are operated by Pakistani and Chinese brokers who cruise Christian areas willing to sell daughters and sisters. They are known to pay off pastors, particularly at small, evangelical churches, to encourage their flock to do so.

Christian activist Salim Iqbal, who was among the first to sound the alarm last November about bride trafficking, is in touch with a number of Pakistani women in China via groups on the messaging app We Chat. He said one girl recently told him her husband doesn’t give her food or medicine.

Another woman, Samia Yousaf, who was 24 when she was forced into marriage, told the AP of the abuses she suffered in China.

She and her husband went there after she became pregnant. When she arrived, nothing was as her husband had promised. He wasn’t well off. They lived in one room on the edge of a field, infested with spiders.

She gave birth by cesarean section. Her husband’s sister refused to let her hold her son after the birth and controlled when and for how long she could see the child during her six days in the hospital. “I started screaming at her one time when she took my baby,” Yousaf recalled.

Her husband refused to let her breastfeed her son until doctors implored him to allow her to, she said. Unable to walk without assistance, the doctors asked her husband to take her for a walk and he repeatedly let her fall, refusing to help her back up.

After she left the hospital, abuses continued. Her husband denied her food. “He was cruel. I thought he wanted to kill me,” she said.

Three weeks later, authorities threatened her with jail because her visa had expired. Her husband had kept her passport. Frightened and unwell, she pleaded with him to let her and her son go home to Pakistan.

But he refused to let her take the baby. She discovered her name was not on her son’s registration, only her husband’s.

The last time she saw her son was in September 2017, just before her return.

“Every day I think of my baby,” said Yousaf, who works as a nanny in Lahore. “I wonder what he looks like. My heart is always sad.”

You can call me humble: David Warner rebuilds image

For a man in search of a new identity, David Warner is taking things in his stride.

After making 166 for Australia against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge on Thursday, the batsman formerly known as the Bull, then the Reverend, then the Bull again, admitted with a smile that his team-mates had a new nickname for him: "Humble."

It's probably just as well. Warner arrived in this country a marked man after his year on the naughty step.

David Warner celebrates a hundred on his way to 166 for Australia last week

If Steve Smith is in the same category following Australia's sandpaper shenanigans in Cape Town in March 2018, it is Warner – noted by the English public as the less likable – who has attracted more vitriol. Humility seems like a sensible ploy in the circumstances.

But it is one of the curiosities of this multi-faceted character that, despite a reputation for recklessness, has not responded to the catcalls by lashing out.

On the contrary, his batting – especially in the 10-over powerplay – has lacked its usual edge. His strike rate at this World Cup has been 87, which is decent but, by his standards, not devastating – so much so that people are asking where the real Warner has gone.

And yet Warner Mk IV, who also made a century against Pakistan, finds himself as the tournament's leading runscorer, with 447 at an average of 89. It's the kind of identity crisis for which most players would happily trade their favorite bat.

One school of thought like his situation to that of Ben Stokes, and argues that both are able to prove how responsible they can be after high-profile disciplinary issues.

Warner kisses the Australian badge on his helmet after scoring his second World Cup barrel

Just as Stokes's one-day strike-rate has fallen since he returned from Bristol purdah, so Warner, goes the argument, wants to show there is more to his game than a slog and a sledge.

That's a caricature, or course – at least the slogging bit: Warner has long been one of the most talented all format batsmen in the world.

But after his century against Bangladesh, he spoke of 'making up for the runs I've missed out on', and a 'dark year for Australian cricket'. If he feels a sense of responsibility, who can blame him?

There is no doubt he is rediscovering his game at the highest level, despite a scintillating performance at the IPL.

His half-centuries against Afghanistan and India were the two slowest of his career, which he blamed partly on sluggish footwork, while he invited criticism for making 26 off 48 balls against a modest Sri Lankan attack.

Warner's World Cup strike rate has leg 87, which by his standards is not devastating

Even during the Bangladesh innings, Shane Warne took Twitter to question Australia's urgency. Warner accelerated with some of his old flair towards the end, but social media was abuzz with hot takes on his approach.

Not all of it is deliberate. "I don't mean to go out there and bat slow," he said after the game. "I am trying to get a calculation on how many fielders I hit in the first 10. It gets frustrating."

So far, Warner has kept those frustrations in check, while also trying to present a cuddlier persona off the field.

The Ashes await after this World Cup, and the Australians are expecting Warner and Smith – and possibly even Cameron Bancroft, if selected – to receive all manner of abuse from England fans.

Possibly by way of a pre-emptive strike, Warner has cut a more approachable figure, posing for selfies with fans, and presenting a jumper to a net bowler he had put in hospital with a straight-drive to the head during a practice session at The Oval

Warner presented a top bowling net had put in hospital with a straight drive to the head

The presentation left Cricket Australia in a tricky position. On the one hand, they didn't want to make it look like part of Warner's path to redemption.

On the other, they didn't want it to go unnoticed altogether. Australian media were diplomatically invited to take photos from a distance.

Warner's toughest moments this summer may be yet to come – a boozy Saturday afternoon at Edgbaston, say, when one is dressed Smurfs will harangue him endlessly from the Hollies Stand.

If that is the case, this World Cup is a useful net session, in more ways than one.

Highlights of Entertainment World Throughout the Year

New Post has been published on https://entertainmentguideto.com/trending/highlights-of-entertainment-world-throughout-the-year/

Highlights of Entertainment World Throughout the Year

As 2018 is nearing the end, AceShowbiz is offering a recap of each month’s biggest event throughout the year.

AceShowbiz – A series of both unfortunate and fortunate events have filled 2018. Throughout the year, people are dealing with deaths, births, weddings, new romances and separations. Although we’ve lost some of stunning figures in entertainment world, with deaths also come births. This year also sees some celebrities welcoming new addition to their families.

Giving colors to the events happening this year are long-anticipated royal weddings. In addition, people get to witness some high-profile romances and even whirlwind romances in the hollywood entertainment.

As 2018 is nearing the end, AceShowbiz is offering a recap of each month’s biggest event throughout the year. Check them out below.

1. JANUARY

WENN/FayesVision

2018 had a rather bleak start with Mark Salling’s death of suicide by hanging on Tuesday, January 30. The actor, who was known for his role as Noah “Puck” Puckerman on FOX’s musical series “Glee“, was found lifeless, hanging from a tree near a riverbed in Sunland, the area where he lived.

His death arrived as he awaited sentencing after he was pleading guilty to possession pornography. Prior to his passing Mark allegedly attempted to commit suicide in the bedroom of his L.A. home before he freaked out and called his roommate for help.

Following news of his passing, a slew of his former “Glee” co-stars paid tribute to him on social media. Among them were Matthew Morrison, Iqbal Theba and vocal arranger Tim Davis.

2. FEBRUARY

Instagram

Contrary to last month, February brought an exciting news. Kylie Jenner shocked everyone by dropping a major bombshell. After it was long-speculated that she was pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Travis Scott (II), the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star finally confirms the rumors on February 4.

Taking to Instagram, the makeup mogul announced the arrival of her daughter Stormi Webster. The baby was born on February 1st.

“I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions,” Kylie told online devotees. “I understand you are used to me bringing you along and all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a life time in the most positive stress free and healthy way I knew how.”

3. MARCH

ABC

Spring means a new season of “The Bachelor“. This year’s season though, might be different from the previous ones and one could argue that it might be the most controversial season in the franchise’s history.

Arie Luyendyk Jr., who was pointed as the leading man of season 22 of the ABC dating show, was dubbed the most hated Bachelor after he publicly dumped fiancee and winner Becca Kufrin for the runner-up, Lauren Burnham.

The race car driver met up with Becca a couple weeks after getting engaged during the finale. Becca initially thought they were going to spend the weekend together but it turned out they met up because Arie wanted to call things off with her as he still had feelings for Lauren.

“I felt like the more I was hanging out with you the more I was losing the chance of reconciling with her,” Arie told a shocked Becca. “We left Peru and I didn’t want to be as honest with you about how conflicted I was.”

Arie is now happily engaged to Lauren and is planning to have their wedding next year.

4. APRIL

WENN/Nikki Nelson

Actress Allison Mack, who is known for her role as Chloe Sullivan on “Smallville“, made headlines after news of her getting arrested for alleged sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy broke. She was indicted for an alleged leading role in the NXIVM sex cult, which leader Keith Raniere was arrested late last month in Mexico.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York, both Mack and Reniere were accused of branding their victims and forcing them to participate in sex acts through the various self-help programs that Raniere established within his umbrella organization, NXIVM. Mack was allegedly “one of the women in the first level of the pyramid immediately below Raniere.”

Following the arrest, fellow actress Samia Shoaib revealed that she was approached by Mack as she tried to lure her into the twisted world of the alleged sex cult. The Pakistan-born actress alleged that Mack sent her overly friendly and frantic emails in attempt to get her in a “women’s circle” back in March 2013.

While Mack didn’t seem like a bad person, Shoaib said that one email stuck out to her the most. “Thank you for last night! I had a lovely time with you and [your friend]. You are both delicious women,” Mack allegedly wrote in an email after their final dinner in the same year.

5. MAY

WENN/Dutch Press Photo

One of the biggest weddings in 2018 arrived in May when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially tied the knot on Saturday, May 19 at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Followed by 10 bridesmaids and page boys, including Harry’s four-year-old nephew Prince George and three-year-old niece Princess Charlotte, the former “Suits” actress walked up the steps of the church in an exquisite white dress with flowing train and long lace veil designed by Givenchy artistic director Clare Waight Keller. She completed her stunning bride look with the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Tiara, made in 1932 and borrowed from Queen Elizabeth II.

In the procession, which was attended by famous figures including Abigail Spencer, Priyanka Chopra, James Corden, Amal and George Clooney among others, Prince Charles replaced Meghan’s father Thomas Markle to walk her down the aisle. Thomas was unable to attend the nuptials since he was suffering from health issues.

During the ceremony, which was conducted by Dean of Windsor David Conner, U.S. Bishop Michael Curry made a passionate address while the guests were treated to a gospel rendition of 1961 song “Stand by Me” by Karen Gibson and The Kingdom Choir. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, officiated the marriage vows, with Harry and Meghan then exchanging wedding bands.

One of the sweet moments from the nuptials was when the camera caught Harry whispering to his bride, stating the words, “You look amazing.” The happy couple later announced in October that they are expecting their first child together.

Kate committed suicide after suffering from depression and anxiety for many years, according to an official statement released on Wednesday, June 6. “She was actively seeking help and working closely with her doctors to treat her disease, one that takes far too many lives. We were in touch with her the night before and she sounded happy,” the statement added.

Fans were shocked on July 24 after it was reported that Demi Lovato was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles for a suspected drug overdose. Law enforcement said Demi, who has been open about her struggles with substance abuse for years, was treated with Narcan, an emergency treatment to reverse the effects of a narcotic overdose.

The “Heart Attack” hitmaker was later revealed to be “awake and with her family” following the near-fatal health scare. “Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support,” her rep said in a statement. “Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.”

Taking to Instagram to address her condition in August, the “Cool for the Summer” singer said, “I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well,” before thanking her fans. “I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you.”

Alongside Rose McGowan, Asia Argento was one of MeToo movement activists after she accused disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment in October 2017. However, things took a twisted turn after it was reported that the “XXX” star was involved in a sexual assault scandal of her own.

Actor and musician Jimmy Bennett claimed that the actress sexually harassed him when he was only 17 in 2013. According to the document, the two, who played mother and son respectively in “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things“, met at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey with Bennett’s family member before the “Marie Antoinette” actress asked for sometime alone with the actor. The mother of two then gave him alcohol and kissed him. Afterward, she gave him an oral sex before they had a sexual intercourse.

It was also mentioned in the document that the sexual encounter with Argento was so traumatic for Bennett that it affected his mental health, career and income. It reportedly left him feeling “extremely confused, mortified, and disgusted.” The “Poseidon” actor later sued the Italian actress and director for $3.5 million in damages for the intentional infliction of emotional distress, lost wages, assault and battery.

It was revealed that Argento then paid $380,000 to Bennett in November 2017 as a part of the agreement. In exchange, Bennet had to give a picture of him and the actress in bed along with its copyright to Argento.

9. SEPTEMBER

The world lost one of talented souls in September. Rapper Mac Miller was found lifeless from an apparent drug overdose in his San Fernando Valley home on September 7. He was 26.

The tragic news comes just months after his breakup with singer Ariana Grande, who was engaged to comedian and “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson” at that time.

The “Swimming” spitter previously shared his concern in an interview, saying, “was not happy and I was on lean very heavy.” Miller added, “I was so f**ked up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn’t even look at me the same. I was lost.”

Despite his passing, friends and fellow musicians are trying to keep his music and legacy with the launch of Mac Miller Circles Fund, a new foundation meant to help provide resources and programming for arts education in underserved communities. The foundation was launched at a benefit concert called “Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life” on October 31 at Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, which featured performances from Travis Scott (II), SZA, Chance the Rapper, Miguel, Ty Dolla $ign and more.

10. OCTOBER

2018 is indeed a hard year for Ariana Grande. The “God Is a Woman” singer has yet to emotionally recover from the trauma she had from the bombing attack at her Manchester in 2017, and she had to face the harsh reality when one of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, died in suicide. The emotional struggle apparently took a toll on her whirlwind relationship with Pete as it was reported that they decided to call off their engagement in October.

It was said that the “Sweetener” singer thought “this wasn’t the right time for them.” While Pete was understandably heartbroken over this, he knew that this is the best for them.

However, they were allegedly not ruling out any possibility of getting back together as the two are still pretty much in love with each other. “They have a very special connection, partly because Pete has been there for Ariana during a painful time in her life. She will forever and always be grateful to Pete,” a source claimed. “They felt constantly under a microscope. They felt that they literally had no privacy and it really took a toll on their relationship,” said a source.

Marvel fans mourned the passing of Stan Lee on November 12. The Marvel Comics creator passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after medical emergency.

Four days after his death, Stan Lee was laid to rest in a private ceremony on Friday, November 16. “As we all continue to process our feelings of loss at the passing of a true legend, many are asking if there will be a memorial in Stan’s honor,” the POW! Entertainment said in a statement. “Stan was always adamant that he did not want a large public funeral, and as such his family has conducted a private closed ceremony in accordance with his final wishes. Our thoughts and prayers continued to be with them.”

The company continued saying in the statement, “We at Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment are working on putting together a tribute befitting the greatest creator of our time and the father of modern pop culture.

Following his death, many of stars paid tribute to the comic legend. Original “Avengers” stars including Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans teamed up for an advert that is featured in the November 14 issue of The Hollywood Reporter.

12. DECEMBER

WENN/Brian To

Cardi B surprised fans when she announced her and husband Offset‘s split on late Tuesday, December 4 via Instagram. In a video, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker admitted people had been “bugging” her about their relationship before she finally decided to address it in the clip.

“I’ve been trying to work things out with my baby father,” she said, before confirming, “We’re not together anymore.” Claiming that they’ve “got a lot of love for each other,” she said they would remain “good friends” and “good business partners.” She added, “He’s always somebody that I run to … to talk to.”

While she didn’t detail the reason of their separation, Cardi shared, “Things haven’t been just working out between us for a long time. It’s nobody’s fault. We just grew out of love,” hinting that their split was amicable. “It may take time to get a divorce,” she added, before ending it by saying, “And I’m gonna always have a lot of love for him, because he is my daughter’s father.”

The shocking bombshell arrived after reports of the Migos rapper tried to cheat on Cardi again with another female rapper emerged. A woman claimed the rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, wanted to have a threesome with Cuban Doll and her friend.

Cardi and Offset later sparked reconciliation rumors after they were spotted vacationing together in Puerto Rico just a week after the former announced their split. However, the “Money” spitter clarified that she didn’t get back together with Offset. “I just had to get fucked. That’s all,” the Bronx rapper slyly said in an Instagram video.

“Generally, the rather technical character of the Compact as a whole, comes at the expense of a more principled approach forcing adherence to established principles of international refugee law. This may either be a sign of states fearing to further encroach on their sovereignty in times of increased security concerns and xenophobia, or an intentional policy choice to achieve fast, wide-ranging and tangible improvements of global refugee protection. Perhaps both.” Reforming refugee protection: What role can a ‘compact’ play in the future of international refugee law? Linnea Roslund. Master’s thesis. Lund University Faculty of Law. Spring 2018.

“[T]he United States has an overwhelming asylum backlog of more than 786,000 pending cases. Last year alone the number of asylum claims soared 67 percent compared to the previous year. Most of these claims are not meritorious—in fact nine out of ten asylum claims are not granted by a federal immigration judge.” Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announces historic action to confront illegal immigration. US Department of Homeland Security. 20 December 2018.

Jamie Brown and Saagarika Dadu. University of London. 2018.

“The initiative aims to enhance the integration of refugees and asylum seekers in ways that counter ‘bureaucratic processes of integration’. In light of growing Islamophobia, the rise of right-wing populism and increasingly restrictive immigration politics across Europe, stories of inclusion, integration and belonging in cultural diversity are needed to a growing extent.” Negotiating place, culture and new Dutch identities: Inclusion, exclusion and belonging in a grassroots refugee integration organisation in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Donald Kerwin, Daniela Alulema and Mike Nicholson. Journal on Migration and Human Security. 2018.

Donald Kerwin. Journal on Migration and Human Security. 2018.

“The government significantly ramped up the country’s detention capacity and began systematically apprehending asylum seekers on trains arriving from Hungary. Among the practices that have been widely criticised are the detention of families with children, the infrequent use of non-custodial ‘alternatives to detention,’ and forcing detainees to pay for their own detention.” Immigration detention in the Czech Republic.

“This humanitarian imperative is in tension with pragmatism. This means that there are a number of problems for refugee protection in Indonesia. This paper argues that while Indonesia is driven by humanitarian ideals in assisting refugees, it must enact legal protections for refugees, for example, by ratifying the 1951 Refugee Convention, to endorse its commitment to Pancasila and the preamble to the constitution, otherwise it risks using these foundations as simply pencitraan, or ‘window dressing.’” Pancasila and pragmatism: Protection or pencitraan for refugees in Indonesia? Carly Gordyn. Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights. December 2018.

“Protracted conflict and displacement create, reveal, and enforce vulnerability, which can undermine resilience. Based on in-depth interviews with internally displaced persons and returnees, both before and after their return to Amuru District and Gulu District, this article argues that war and displacement constitute more than a temporary disruption. The physical and social wounds of war are engraved and embedded in people’s lives. Therefore, recovery interventions must take these effects into account to forge a new post-war future.” Geographical versus social displacement: The politics of return and post-war recovery in Northern Uganda.

“On the eve of the Intergovernmental Conference to formally adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, scheduled to take place in Marrakech on 10–11 December 2018, this issue of Migration Policy Practice examines a specific aspect of the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration: that of migration research and analysis.” Migration policy practice, Special issue on Global Compact Migration.

“Here I want to propose reflexivity, or asking ‘how one’s self and one’s methods are implicated in the knowledge one produces’ (Bischoping & Gazso, 2016, 43), as a tool/ strategy that should be central not just as a rigorous methodological and empirical practices but as means to decolonizing research. Reflexivity as a tool to ensure that the message conveyed about what the participants ‘tell us’ about their interpretations of their experiences and subjectivities is as close as possible to their ‘actual’ interpretations of these experiences. Moreover, it allows the researcher to reflect on how their position and positionality have impacted their interpretations and the final outcome.” Methodology, reflexivity and decolonizing refugee research: Reflections from the field. Dina Taha. CARFMS blog. November 2018.

“Legally speaking, people displaced by environmental disasters aren’t refugees, even if we recognise their temporary living conditions as reflective of such a definition. Neither are the 18.8 million people displaced by weather-related disasters in 2017, a figure that’s expected to rise sharply as the impact of climate change worsens.” The world has no protection for refugees of climate disasters. Lewis Gordon. The Outline. December 2018.

“Some were told that the authorities did not register single men, and others that they should return several months later to register. This means that they were not able to obtain Turkish identity cards (‘kimliks,’ in Turkish). Being without documentation from the Turkish authorities exposes these men to the risk of arrest, detention, and deportation, and impedes their access to such essential services as health care and education.” “You cannot exist in this place:” Lack of registration denies Afghan refugees protection in Turkey. Izza Leghtas and Jessica Thea. Refugees International field report. December 2018.

“This second edition to the Standards has been drafted to update specific provisions to address these needs as well as significant and wide-ranging changes in law and policy. Despite the passage of time, the core values of the Standards remain constant. At present, much of the progress over the past fourteen years appears to be in jeopardy. Regardless of changes in politics, we must remember that we are dealing with children. We must continue to afford them special consideration to ensure that our immigration enforcement and adjudication systems acknowledge their need for protection and our nation’s fundamental traditions.” Standards for the custody, placement and care; legal representation; and adjudication of unaccompanied alien children in the United States. American Bar Association Commission on Immigration. 2018.

“This Global Compact presents a non-legally binding, cooperative framework that builds on the commitments agreed upon by Member States in the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants. It fosters international cooperation among all relevant actors on migration, acknowledging that no State can address migration alone, and upholds the sovereignty of States and their obligations under international law.” Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration final draft. July 2018.

“Released on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 'The State of Refugees and Displaced People in Europe' is a summary of Refugee Rights Europe's key field research findings from 2017-2018. The report paints a harrowing picture of human rights for refugees and people in displacement throughout Europe, documenting chronic police violence, lack of access to information, substandard living conditions, gender-based violence and absence of child safeguarding structures.” The state of refugees and displaced people in Europe: A summary of research findings across Europe 2017-2018. Refugee Rights Europe. 2018.

“While incidents of human rights violations have declined across the two states in the last two years owing mainly to the cessation of aerial bombing, the increase in violence recently is unsettling. It is also currently more difficult to locate human rights incidents since they occur more quietly. Limited communication capacity in the region also inhibits monitoring and it is possible that we are not able to document all incidents. Additionally, the continued inter-communal tension in Blue Nile State did not allow free access to all areas of the state under the control of SPLM/A-N further inhibiting our ability to monitor all incidents.” Update on Human rights in South Kordofan and Blue Nile: March-September 2018. National Human Rights Monitors Organization. September 2018.

“Faced with the challenges presented by the arrival of such a huge number of vulnerable children, new relationships between migration, asylum and child protection actors evolved rapidly, if somewhat sporadically, at the local, national and European level. Child protection agencies have, by and large, left their migration counterparts to lead the protection responses to migrant and refugee children while offering training, guidance, support and access to services. Migration agencies have in turn adopted child rights concepts and incorporated them into their practice. The nature of the partnership is still evolving, but a new discourse has developed that puts child rights at the core of migration and asylum policy and practice.” Towards a child rights-based assessment tool to evaluate national responses to migrant and refugee children. Kevin Byrne. Discussion paper. UNICEF Office of Research-Innocenti. December 2018.

“From 2014 to the end of 2016, over 450,000 people crossed from North Africa towards Italy via the Central Mediterranean route. The number of people recorded as dead or missing in the same stretch of water steadily increased too. Crisis-talk in the region led to renewed efforts by the European Union and its Member States to govern and control migration to and across the Central Mediterranean. Against this backdrop, this article draws upon over 200 interviews with newly arrived boat migrants and 55 stakeholders in Italy to reveal a fundamental disjuncture between the drivers and dynamics of migration and the assumptions underpinning policy development, the saliency of which becomes apparent at three crucial junctions: along migration land routes; at sea; and upon arrival in Europe.” Navigating the Central Mediterranean in a time of ‘crisis’: Disentangling migration governance and migrant journeys.

“This reports analyses MSF’s medical data from Nauru, which demonstrates extreme mental health suffering on the island. Close to one-third of MSF’s refugee and asylum seeker patients had attempted suicide, while 12 patients were diagnosed with the rare psychiatric condition of ‘resignation syndrome’.

Médecins Sans Frontières mental health project. December 2018.

“In many ways [Detained Asylum Casework] and the [Detained Fast Track] are entirely different. They are different in the criteria for the detention of asylum applicants, in their flexibility, and in the opportunities for applicants to access legal advice. Through each of these changes, DAC has improved in comparison to the DFT. However, another change, that of the extreme slowing of the processing of DAC cases, appears to be worsening under DAC. Though few may wish to return to the rapid process of the DFT, the absence of any published deadlines at all by the Home Office has led to applicants being detained for unnecessarily long periods under DAC.” Following the suspension of the unlawful Detained Fast Track, is its replacement Detained Asylum Casework sufficiently different to make it lawful?

“This Policy Brief critically analyses special humanitarian intakes from an international and comparative perspective. It examines the normative frameworks applicable to special humanitarian intakes, both in Australia and elsewhere, including international refugee and human rights law, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) global resettlement program, and Australian domestic law. It considers how the Syria–Iraq special intake compares to other similar, one-off arrangements for the relocation and/or resettlement of refugees, such as the Comprehensive Plan of Action for Indo-Chinese refugees in the 1970s and 1980s, the humanitarian evacuation of Kosovar refugees in 1999, and the use of individual emergency and urgent resettlement quotas by States such as Sweden and Canada.” Special humanitarian intakes: Enhancing protection through targeted refugee resettlement.

“This Issue explores some of the problematic aspects raised by sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) asylum claims. Going beyond the studies available in this field, which are often focused only on the refugee status determination, the contributions published in this issue scrutinize the entire process of claiming asylum undertaken by SOGI people in need of international protection. Adopting different perspectives based on international, EU and domestic law, all authors advance appropriate proposals to overcome the legal obstacles that prevent, to this day, the protection of SOGI claimants and the full enjoyment of their human rights in Europe and beyond.” Navigating troubled waters: Sexual orientation and gender identity asylum claims in a time of ‘crises’ and reforms. Carmelo Danisi. Journal of Legal Studies on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. November 2018.

“This dissertation asks: to what extent have local and individual resettlement efforts been shaped by a rhetoric of ‘welcome’, and to what extent have national policies and practices of refugee resettlement reconfigured the scales of responsibility? It starts by providing a revisionist history of refugee resettlement in Canada, it then contextualises the latter within the recent Syrian resettlement effort, and assess the national, community and individual responses and responsibilities—with a particular focus on the community-led response within the Region of Waterloo. It argues that the Syrian example has revealed manifestations of neo-liberalization, regarding who determines one’s right to resettlement, and on whose shoulders the moral and economic impact of resettlement rests.” The opportunity to welcome: Shifting responsibilities and the resettlement of Syrian refugees within Canadian communities. Thea Enns. MSc dissertation in Migration Studies. University of Oxford. June 2017.

“This work seeks to analyze the conditions of Eritrean asylum seekers in Israel in order to highlight gaps in their protection and to identify gap-ﬁlling solutions that would be amenable to both Israeli authorities and Eritreans asylum-seekers. Part I, focuses on the arrival of Eritrean asylum-seekers in Israel. Part II focuses on the reaction of Israeli authorities once the Eritreans have managed to enter the country. It will review attempts to remove the Eritreans as unwanted guests. Part III scrutinizes the conditions of the Eritrean asylum seekers that manage, at least temporarily, to remain in Israel. The analysis cover recent domestic legislation and the sort of ‘limbo’ in which Eritreans ﬁnd themselves, with very few rights, and with no clear future in Israel or elsewhere. Part IV examines the status of essential socio-economic rights (right to work and right to health) that Eritrean asylum-seekers can claim within Israel. The article concludes by illustrating the major challenges for the Eritrean asylum-seekers in Israel and by making recommendations to improve their situation in the country.” The unsolved dilemma of the Eritrean asylum-seekers in Israel.

“This report addresses the factors that influenced displaced Syrian families’ decision to leave Syria for Lebanon and how this has impacted the time they took to decide to leave. [...] The findings indicate that there is much diversity in the decision-making processes that families engage in and underscore the importance of family agency in making decisions. [...] The findings counter common popular depictions of refugees as helpless and without agency. In fact, they are making difficult decisions and balancing equally difficult decisions to ensure their family’s survival.” Without choice?

“When referring to persons that are exposed to further danger and harm caused by push-back operations, we have to make a particular mention to the treatment of vulnerable groups, and especially unaccompanied minors, who are exposed to illegal violence against their best interest. This practice not only fails to prioritize unaccompanied minors, single-parent families, victims of torture and sexual violence during the reception process, but excludes and ostracizes vulnerable groups from the process itself against any notion of their best interest and the Greek, EU law, and International law.” The new normality: Continuous push-backs of third country nationals on the Evros river.

“Over the past two and a half years, US authorities have increasingly adjusted the processing procedures for asylum seekers arriving at the southern border.

“We identify three specific ways in which the Acehnese example can be drawn on as a source of both critique and inspiration.

“Though both the international refugee regime and Partition-era-derived South Asian refugee regime emphasize vulnerability as a feature of refugeeness, the former evaluates refugee claims on the basis of statelessness and the latter on the basis of a religio-cultural identity.

Prince Harry and Meghan arrive in New Zealand for final leg of Pacific tour

Britain’s Prince Harry exchanges a hongi during a welcome ceremony at Government House in Wellington, New Zealand, October 28, 2018. REUTERS/Phil Noble

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – Britain’s Prince Harry and wife Meghan arrived in New Zealand on Sunday for the final leg of their Pacific tour, their first international royal tour since marrying in May.

The royal couple, who have already visited Australia, Fiji and Tonga, were received in the nation’s capital Wellington by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

The globally-popular Ardern marked her first year as the country’s leader earlier this week, having formed government through a coalition deal that followed an inconclusive election.

In June, Ardern became only the second world leader, after Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto in 1990, to give birth while in office.

Harry and Meghan are expecting their first child next year.

The royal couple flew from Australia on Sunday after closing the Invictus Games in Sydney last night and were accompanied by several Invictus Games athletes from New Zealand.

The Invictus Games are an international paralympic-style competition for military personnel wounded in action that was founded by Harry.

Meghan wore a brown checkered coat and a simple black dress, while Harry was in a dark gray suit. Both had remembrance poppy pins on their chests.

On Sunday evening, the couple will attend a reception celebrating the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage. New Zealand became the first country in the world where women could vote in parliamentary elections in 1893.

Lawyers representing the woman who has accused Cristiano Ronaldo of raping her have said she has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress and depression because of the alleged 2009 attack in Las Vegas. Kathryn Mayorga’s lawyer, Leslie Stovall, told reporters on Wednesday that a psychiatrist’s medical opinion is that Ms Mayorga’s psychological injuries made her “incompetent” to legally reach a non-disclosure settlement with the footballer’s representatives in 2010. Ms Mayorga filed a lawsuit last week seeking to void the agreement she claims to have signed while accepting $375,000 to keep quiet about the alleged encounter.

The dazzling Kareena Kapoor was conceived on 21-September-1980 in Mumbai, India. She is a standout amongst the most encouraging performers of the 21st century who has, for the most part, worked in the Bollywood Cinema.
