Excrept from article.

“She had told us about being followed by the two on her way to coaching and we had also filed a complaint with the area police station a month ago… But no action was taken. We had also contacted the family members of the two persons and told them about how she was being pestered by them. For a few days, they did not follow her but started to do so in the past week,”

Is it okay if i share news from my state here?

the world news instance was not kind to sharing news from uttar pradesh

please tell me if this does not go here i will remove it.

[-] ruford1976@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

the documents too?

This is going to get ugly.

i hope Israel has some sympathy for civilians.

I am glad to see humanity in some people amidst fighting between monsters.

A Catalan-based author of Moroccan origin is facing heat from both Muslim NGOs and the Spanish left for critical comments she made about the status of women in Islam after a speech given at the start of a Barcelona cultural fair.

Najat El Hachmi, a Moroccan-born novelist earned the ire of multiple Islamic organisations for remarks highlighting patriarchal attitudes within Spain’s 2,3 million strong Muslim community during a prestigious inaugural speech at Barcelona’s Festes de la Mercè late last month.

“Are you uncomfortable if I explain to you that there are girls in this city who cannot learn anything or go hiking?” proclaimed El Hachmi from a podium in city hall as she gave the festival’s traditional opening speech in front of the city’s mayor and other officials.

Muy valiente Najat El Hachmi explicando cómo viven muchas moras en Cataluña bajo el control absoluto del Islam, ejercido por sus familiares y vecinos.

Necesitamos muchísimas más voces como ella para remover conciencias.

Bravo. pic.twitter.com/d4a4PlxX7e

An accomplished author and journalist, El Hachmi moved to Spain at age seven before having a successful academic and literary career with novels that focus on her dual identity and native Morocco. Her 2008 novel L’últim patriarca (The Last Patriarch) earned literary acclaim for challenging misogynist attitudes faced by women in Morocco. She had previously voiced her opposition to the wearing of Islamic face veils within Spanish schools.

Three Islamic organisations have signed an open letter to the city’s socialist mayor Jaume Collboni asking for the author to be taken to task for her comments about Islam, labelling El Hachmi as ‘Islamophobic.’

Left-wing groups had already tried to deplatform El Hachmi before she made the oration due to her previous statements on transgender legislation. The author also referenced the rise of “identity fundamentalism” within the Islamic community since the 1980s and the plight of cousin marriage in her Barcelona speech.

Approximately 8.1% of Catalonia is Muslim, primarily consisting of first- and second-generation Pakistanis and Moroccans. In 2017, 14 people perished in an Islamist attack on Barcelona’s primary thoroughfare Las Ramblas.

Prominent figures in the region’s literary scene and even the nationalist party VOX have rallied to El Hachmi’s defence as many fear that the incident could be the start of Spain’s very own clash between free speech and Islam.

The question of criticism of Islam has been topical of late in Europe propelled by rioting in Sweden over the burning of the Koran with the incident sparking a diplomatic spat with the Islamic world and Stockholm led by Turkey.

The failure during a test of the X-33's complex, multi-lobe composite-structure cryogenic hydrogen tank was one of the main reasons for the cancellation of both the X-33 and the VentureStar. Ultimately, the VentureStar program required too many technical advances at too high a cost to be viable.

The X-30 program was terminated amid budget cuts and technical concerns in 1993.

Getting into orbit requires two things: getting to at least 250-300km height and achieving about 7.8km/s speed.

For obvious reasons - you can't get to 7.8km/s while in the atmosphere - most of this acceleration happens outside of the atmosphere.

Not only you have to achieve this enormous speed, you also have to do it fast - otherwise you fall back to the ground.

The only two engines that we know that can do this is the classical old chemical rocket engine and a nuclear explosion.

This means that all other brilliant ideas for getting into space - balloons, plane launched rockets, etc, don't gain almost anything. They can eventually allow for cheaper sub-orbital flight - allowing the average person to experience an orbit-like sensation. When it comes to a real orbital flight, they add a huge amount of complexity without gaining almost anything. You save the first 0.5km/s from the 7.8km/s acceleration.

Nuclear used to be on the table in the 60s but then people realized what they had done with their high altitude atmospheric testing and it got banned.

SABRE can get you to 1.5km/s out of the 7.8km/s. It is not as insignificant as it can appear, since the first 1.5km/s are the most expensive and besides they will allow you to optimize your nozzle for the higher atmosphere - the optimal nozzle size depends on the ambient pressure - so if you can start higher, you can have a better nozzle.

SSTO is just too darn hard because of the physics involved.

To get into orbit you need about 9000 m/s of delta v. Assuming you can use an engine like the RS-25 and average an Isp of 440 over the whole launch, that means that your vehicle at launch needs to be 88% fuel, and 12% for the rest.

That 12% needs to cover your tanks - which will be big because LH2 tanks are always big - your engines, your airframe, your wings, reaction control system, aerodynamic control system, thermal protection system, etc. And any payload that you want.

That gives you very tiny margins, and every pound that your vehicle gains during development is one pound that goes away from payload.

Just to take a ridiculous example - we'll take the shuttle and assume we can attach an external tank to it and somehow bring them both back without any extra TPS and without bigger wings and other systems.

The shuttle orbiter weighted about 110,000 kg with 26,000 kg payload. The external tank weighed about 27,000 kg, so the total empty weight is 137,000 kg

The full weight was 760,000 kg (tank) + 110,000 kg = 870,000

That gives us a delta v of about 8000 m/s - not enough to get to orbit.

SSTO is just too darn hard.

Still, even if they manage to get it to work, which is still not the case, do not expect a revolution. It will probably reduce the weight of the launch fuel a lot, but it will be at the expense of complexity. It won't have the necessary TWR to launch vertically - it will launch like a plane and it will need wings that will be useless 5 minutes later and will probably have to be jettisoned.

So...Is it worth it?

Staging is great for efficiency, and with concepts like Starship ( fully re-usable staging rocket) you achieve maximum efficiency. SSTO in itself is a worthless goal unless it's economically feasible.

This was in my city Shahjahanpur (pronounced : Shah Jahan pur)

The incident that took place in Roza left the goat owner injured, requiring four stitches.

FIR against Gangaram under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation)."

Just last year, again in Uttar Pradesh, a man had cut off the genitals of his male friend in Bareilly after the latter recorded a video of him in a compromising situation and set about extorting money from the individual.

Police said "The victim will recover over time and can live a normal life. We'll take strict action against Gangaram"

They later sent the video to the survivor's fiance and tried to flee to Kashmir where Nazim's shop is located. "Based on the victim's complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections of the SC/ST Act. It was also a case of extortion. All the accused have been arrested," a senior police official said.
