Silica to Quartz - Whispers of...

Johanita Viljoen

O Reader, so special and dear!  
Perhaps, in a corner, you sit today,  
spirit broken, tears rolled, you sway.  
A grain of sand, swept off, só confused;  
struggling, searching, your heart suffered, bruised!  
Many uncertainties weigh on your soul-  
unexpected illness, violence, death a toll.  
May poetic words ease your heart's silent plea-  
heavenly comfort to help you be free!  
To relax and smile through both joy and despair,  
read Isaiah 43, find solace in prayer!  
And may that tiny grain of silica becomes bright,  
unfolding like quartz, bringing beauty and light!  
Wishes from my heart, 
Johanita

Democratic Delusions - How the...

Natalie Fenton

A free media is inextricably linked to a healthy democracy, but in many parts of the world liberal democracies are deemed to be dying or on the demise—a demise that many forms of media have enabled while heralding themselves as democracy's savior. The hollowing out of democracy in these ways has left many people questioning the value of (neo)liberal democratic societies. What can we do about it? 
 
    
  
Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic? And, how do we tackle a deep-rooted market logic that shifts public debate towards private interest and marginalizes progressive perspectives? The book explores how these elements can be reimagined through newly conceived media and tech landscapes and, ultimately, what democracy might be in a future mediated world that places more power in the hands of more people.

Dooro Vekhe Sant Jarnail Singh

Harpal Singh Pannu

The book "Duron Vekhe Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale" is written by Prof. Harpal Singh Pannu. He mentions in the beginning that he wrote exactly what he saw with his own eyes. He says, "It felt like Sant Jarnail Singh was my friend." But Sant Jarnail Singh was not anyone’s friend—he was a saint. A saint has no enemies or friends. I saw him as a great Sikh whose role in the Akali Dal was growing.
