This chapter attempts to classify criminals in Delhi using three broad parameters, which are studied in the following sections. The first is on the statistical analysis of criminals who were arrested over the years under various categories. These are the first time criminals, anonymous characters, and criminals on record. The second is on the sociological factors behind the commission of crime, such as the deprived lot and the marginal man. The third and final classification of criminals in Delhi is the criminals who have specialized in a certain type of crime. They are the Pardhi Community, the Thak-Thak Group, auto lifters, and the courier bag robbers. All these types of Delhi criminals are discussed in detail.Less

The book recounts for the first time the 400-year history of oasts and hop kilns, vernacular farm buildings uses for drying hops. They are found in three regions of England: Kent and Sussex, Hampshire and Farnham, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The evolution of the kilns, the drying methods and the machinery used is pieced together from surviving buildings, agricultural books, archives and local lore. 250 diagrams, sketches and photographs present a graphic picture of hop drying and the impact of oasts and kilns on the countryside. Hop growing expanded to meet the demands of Industrial Revolution Britain, its army and navy. The commercial and political drama of hop farming, drying and marketing is present in the book. Fortunes were made and lost. Gambling and dodgy dealing on hops and taxes was common. No crop was more volatile than hops. Political battles over tariffs and free trade are reported. The hop drying buildings in continental Europe – notably Flanders, Alsace, Bavaria and the Czech Republic- and in parts of the USA are described. They demonstrate that hop drying buildings in England were unmatched in the 17th-19th centuries, but that in the 20th century modern drying machinery in the USA and Germany left England behind.Less

This chapter considers the simple but most important configuration of two parallel ideal-metal planes. First, the theory of the scalar and electromagnetic Casimir effects between parallel planes is presented. In comparison with Chapter 2, some basic facts are added concerning the relation between local and global approaches and the polarizations of the electromagnetic field. The radiative corrections to the Casimir force are considered. General analytical formulas for the Casimir free energy, entropy, and pressure at nonzero temperature are presented, as well as the limits of low and high temperature. The agreement between the results obtained and thermodynamics is analyzed. The spinor Casimir effect between planes and the Casimir effect for a wedge are also discussed. At the end of the chapter, the dynamic Casimir effect connected with uniformly moving or oscillating planes is briefly considered.Less

This chapter reviews three pressing ergonomic concerns in schools—furniture, information and communications technology (ICT), and school bags—to illustrate the role of ergonomics in promoting the long-term health of the next generation and in making school environments safer. General physical fitness, posture, back pain, and back care are related to furniture, information and communication technology, and school bags. Ergonomic practices are often cost effective; many can be implemented through education, procedural changes, or adjustments to existing equipment or furniture.Less

This chapter analyses those of Jack Rosenthal's plays, such as Spend, Spend, Spend, The Chain, Moving Story and Bag Lady, where an unusual dramatic structure matches the plot. In all four plays, unusual or experimental form does double duty in complementing or even constituting the plot. In Spend, Spend, Spend and The Chain, structural experimentation arises from the plays' concern with British class formations. The Chain's plaited structure emphasises interconnections between people at either end of the social scale. In both Moving Story and Bag Lady, class distinction and social injustice are unexplored backdrops in plays, which are more concerned with narrative. Moving Story is the pilot for a series, and as such sets up open-ended subplots and exaggerated character traits among its dramatis personae; while Bag Lady is an interior monologue made audible, which exists in order to fall silent with the completion of a quest.Less

Milt “Bags” Jackson was an American jazz vibraphonist. He is known for his swinging solos when he became a member of the Modern Jazz Quartet and his inclination for collaboration with other hard bop and post-bop musicians. The chapter tackles the time when Jackson was to record a brass orchestra comprising of four trumpets, three trombones, tuba, three French horns, and a rhythmic section. Musical scoring was provided by Melba Liston, a brass player, trombonist, as well as an arranger, working with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basic, and Quincy Jones. Liston is just one of the few women composers and instrumentalists who had penetrated successfully in any genre of jazz.Less

The granting of diplomatic asylum to Julian Assange, the dangers faced by diplomats in trouble spots around the world, WikiLeaks and the publication of thousands of embassy cables—situations like these place diplomatic agents and diplomatic law at the very centre of contemporary debate on current affairs. Diplomatic Law in a New Millennium brings together twenty experts to provide insight into some of the most controversial and important matters which characterize modern diplomatic law. They include diplomatic asylum, the treatment (and rights) of domestic staff of diplomatic agents, the inviolability of correspondence, of the diplomatic bag, and of the diplomatic mission, the immunity to be given to members of the diplomatic family, diplomatic duties (including the duty of non-interference), but also the rise of diplomatic actors which are not sent by States (including members of the EU diplomatic service). Diplomatic Law in a New Millennium explores these matters in a critical, yet accessible manner, and is therefore an invaluable resource for practitioners, scholars, and students with an interest in diplomatic relations. Its individual parts deal with the history of diplomatic law, personal and property immunities, diplomatic obligations, and the position of representatives of international organizations, of the EU, and of sub-State entities. The authors of the book include some of the leading authorities on diplomatic law (including a delegate to the 1961 conference which codified modern diplomatic law) as well as serving and former members of the diplomatic corps.Less

In such an uncertain climate, it seemed unlikely Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart would get a further commitment from Paramount, so Hart briefly rejoined his partner in New York, only to find there was nothing for them there either. The newspapers reported that Rodgers and Hart were back together in Hollywood helping with recordings of Phantom President and “huddling on the subject of Al Jolson's next production.” How this came about requires a short preface which might be entitled “The Banana Bag Contract.” Jolson was sunbathing on the rooftop of his Palm Springs home with Joe Schenck, president of United Artists (UA). During their sunbathing session Schenck made Jolson an unheard-of offer: 2 million dollars if Al would star in four UA pictures. Needless to say, Al agreed, and a contract was drawn up on their paper lunch sack: hence the title of the story.Less

This chapter focuses on the material aspects of early modern filing systems—files, bundles, bags, boxes, and drawers—and their roles in the short and long-term retention of a wide range of documents. Household filing systems largely mirrored institutional ones, and yet flexible retention policies allowed for the storage of documents with evidentiary status as well as documents that serve as family history. These early filing systems are largely invisible to us now, as generations of custodians have rearranged and rehoused family papers. However, physical clues on the documents—such as holes, folds, and endorsements—as well as ‘occupational portraits’ of early modern bureaucrats and surviving ‘filing’ furniture—reveal a rich and complicated system for organising and retrieving vast quantities of paper and parchment.Less

In this chapter, the author narrates her travel to Lucknow, where she knew a couple of Begams: Professor Mujeeb's wife and his sister Shakira. She stayed at a house called ‘Dali-Bag’ (Dolly's Garden), which belonged to Mujeeb's brother and where three generations lived. The master of the house was Mr Wasim, Mujeeb's eldest brother. Begam Wasim belongs to the second generation, whose brothers include Haliq Zaman and Dr Salim Zaman, Shakira's husband. The author also talks about a famous public figure of Lucknow, Sheikh Mushir Hosain Kidwai of Gadia. The Sheikh was an active member of the Khilafat movement in India, in addition to other political movements. When Mahatma Gandhi stopped the Khilafat movement, Sheikh Mushir Kidwai condemned him. The Sheikh was a co-founder, along with Hasrat Mohani, of the All-Indian Non-Communal Independent Party. He is also strongly inclined to socialism derived from Islam.Less

It has frequently been observed that there is generally good compliance with the law of diplomatic immunity because here, almost as in no other area of international law, the reciprocal benefits of compliance are visible and manifest. Virtually every state that is host to a foreign diplomatic mission will have its own embassy in the territory of the sending state. Every state wants its own diplomats operating abroad, and its own diplomatic bags, embassies and archives, to receive those protections that are provided by international law. Honoring those same obligations vis-à-vis the diplomatic community in one’s own country is widely perceived as a major factor in ensuring that there is no erosion of the international law requirements on diplomatic privileges and immunities. The purpose of diplomatic law is to facilitate international diplomacy, balancing the pursuit of the foreign policy interests of the sending state with respect for the territorial sovereignty of the receiving state. However, immunity does not entitle diplomats to flout local laws.Less

On November 2, 1966, the Experience record Jimi’s newly composed “Stone Free” during a single session at De Lane Lea Studios. Chas Chandler arranges a record deal with Track Records and Jimi begins work on his ambitious “Third Stone from the Sun,” inspired by his love of science fiction. Chandler, Jimi’s father James “Al” Hendrix, and best friend Billy Cox describe his extraordinary all-day, every-day dedication to the guitar. Kathy Etchingham details their home life together and forays around London. During a tour of Germany, Jimi accidentally smashes a guitar and discovers “demolition feedback.” The Experience’s London afternoon showcase at the Bag O’Nails is attended by Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, members of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, and leading British music journalists, whose write-ups contribute to Jimi’s rapid ascent to fame. Meanwhile, his unprecedented guitarmanship and sexually-suggestive stage moves frighten The Who’s Pete Townshend and other leading British guitar icons.Less

This chapter studies the soldier's knapsack, exploring the few personal items that soldiers carried, from knickknacks to print propaganda to personal letters. Given the nomadic nature of soldiers' existence and the lack of free space in their packs, these items had to be either useful or precious. The thing-bag was the closest thing soldiers had to a private place. However, like everything else in the army, the soldier's pack was subject to random inspections. Superiors could look into thing-bags if they so desired, and they were encouraged to do so. The only nonmilitary items that soldiers were encouraged to carry in their packs were ephemera. Books, magazines, and newspapers were published to raise soldiers' morale, allowing them to expand their knowledge and distract themselves from the miseries of life at the front. In an army learning on the job, they also provided useful information about how to fight and transmitted the latest tactical innovations. Finally, this was the medium where soldiers could find explanations of the meaning of the war and their place in it. Of even greater importance were letters, which reified connections with home and allowed soldiers to participate in the lives of distant relatives.Less

This chapter focuses on two cases of middle-class environmentalism in Delhi: a bill proposed by the legislative state assembly banning recycled polythene bags and a Supreme Court order relocating ‘polluting and non-conforming’ industries out of the city. Through these chaotic and challenging episodes for the informal sector plastic recycling industry in Delhi, the chapter examines not only how disparate groups of the ‘urban poor’ working in this sector ‘see the state’ and the judiciary, but also how they react to these developments and the channels though which they seek to influence or change the course of events, with varying degrees of success. The discussion begins with an introduction to the interest groups involved, directly or indirectly, in both the case studies and a brief outline of their class positioning. The chapter concludes with a wider discussion of society-state relations, including the degree to which the urban poor are actually empowered to exert voice and agency, and the reality of citizenship and governance in the city.Less

This chapter is an analysis of the frequency-power spectrum. It first discusses the probabilistic methods for detecting signatures of individual modes in the spectrum, including schemes that incorporate a Bayesian framework for the analysis. The chapter then turns to the automated detection of the ensemble signatures of the oscillations. Next, this chapter considers the detailed peak-bagging analysis, where a multiparameter model is fitted to the spectrum to provide robust estimates of parameters of the individual modes. It introduces the fundamentals, discusses the practical implementation and challenges, and finally considers the additional challenges posed by subgiants and red giants showing mixed modes.Less

This chapter shows the author performing the hardest task of the whole trip: taking his sodden river shirt off the roof of the tent and buttoning it on. This seems like no big deal, but the author has just emerged from the double dry and cozy cocoon of sleeping bag and tent. The shirt is still soaked and muddy from yesterday's dunking, and further soaked by the rain, which somehow didn't wash the mud out of it as the author had hoped. The pants are wet, too, but somehow he doesn't mind that as much as the wet shirt. It's a cool, overcast morning with occasional drizzle that will follow them all day long.Less

This chapter analyzes "bag and tag" intervention implemented by corporate-sponsored NGOs and designed to open up mining after a period of de facto embargo. It explains the ironic consequences of the tagging scheme, which transformed those involved in mining at “unregistered” or ”red” sites into “smugglers” of blood minerals. The majority of mines were unregistered, and the tags became an instrument for state actors to expropriate minerals from newly criminalized diggers and traders. The digitized tags promised a kind of disembodiment and deterritorialization, but their visible materiality is what made them useful for Congolese state actors. Many involved in the trade interpreted the scheme as a foreign purification project intended to cleanse “Western” technology of the pollution of Congo and Congolese people; some saw the project as an effort to cleanse iPhones and other technologies of Congolese blood so that "white" people wouldn’t have to touch this blood every time they touched an iPhone. The model of peace-building entailed in the tagging scheme—based on the separation of things from social context and certain kinds of actors from other kinds of actors—is contrasted to the Congolese idea of peace emerging from “many hands touching money."Less

With county and state structures in place this chapter focuses on the ways in which licensed midwives adapted to the regulations and supervision and the improvisation that was required to transfer the “new laws” into the community in the face of overwhelming poverty. Ensuring attendance at prenatal clinic and adequate preparation for delivery were hallmarks of the midwife’s role, as were home demonstrations of the ideal delivery room. Using a deep foundation of trust and authority midwives were able to distance themselves from traditional practices that were no longer permitted, however evidence suggests that on occasion the regulations stipulated in the midwife manual were overlooked for a number of reasons. The chapter demonstrates how supervising public health nurses used the midwife’s bag to monitor adherence to the rules and how it came symbolize the modern licensed midwife.Less

Calls on non-fictional works across several genres—journalistic accounts, a memoir, ethnographies, and Marc Singer’s film Dark Days (2000)—to explore domesticity in the context of homelessness. Argues that domesticity is not absent for this population so much as it is broken, embattled, and reinvented. Looks at homeless individuals and communities who struggle to improvise such domestic elements as safety, privacy, storage, routine, intimacy, and kinship.Less
