# Electronic Media Monitoring Centre

Electronic Media Monitoring Centre (EMMC) is a subordinate office under the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting tasked to monitor content of television channels and report on violations of the programme and advertising code.

## History

The centre was set up on 9 June 2008, by the Congress led UPA government.

## Working

The violations committed by channels are interpreted along the lines of the programme code of the Cable Television Networks Rules (1994) which under Section 6 lists the several "don'ts" that the channels have to conform to, failing which, they shall be issued a show cause notice. The sweeping provisions under the aforementioned act ask channels not to offend good taste, decency or attack religions or communities. Nor should they carry anything that is likely to encourage or incite violence or anything that goes against the maintenance of law and order. Specifically, the code says programmes should not telecast anything amounting to contempt of court; They should contain aspersions on the integrity of the President and the judiciary, criticise, malign, or slander any individual in person or certain groups, segments of social, public and moral life of the country. This is the code that the EMMC follows as it looks for transgressions and airtime to ministers. According to sources, "It is the tracking of ministers that consumes all the time, and prevents a proper monitoring of channels" It is here that officials watch out for television channels, about 600 of them, tripping on the programme code, drawn up by the government, offering the I&B ministry reasons to serve show cause notices on the channels. The EMMC monitors 'around 600' TV channels on a day-to-day basis. The penalties vary, depending on the degree of violation. On 2 March 2015, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the Minister of State for the Information and Broadcasting Ministry in a query stated that there were at least three instances in 2015 against channels over violations of the Programming and Advertising Code: While in one case, an order was issued to take a channel off air for seven days, in another case, a warning was issued. In another instance, a show cause notice was issued. According to Arun Jaitley, over 20 channels were banned for flouting of rules over the last 20 years. In January 2015, an amount of Rs.20 crore was allocated in the financial year 2014-15 for facilitating augmentation of the monitoring capacity of the EMMC. By 2017, the Government hopes to increase the capacity of the EMMC to about 1500 channels.

# Cathy Colman

Cathy Colman is an American poet, teacher and editor. Her first book, Borrowed Dress, won the 2001 Felix Pollak Prize for Poetry from the University of Wisconsin Press, chosen by Mark Doty. It made the Los Angeles Times bestseller list in October, 2001. Her second book, Beauty's Tattoo, was published by Tebot Bach Publications in 2009. Her third book, Time Crunch is published by What Books Press, October, 2019.

## Education

Colman began her education at University of California, Berkeley in 1969 as an art major and then transferred to San Francisco State University to study writing under the poet Stan Rice. She received her B.A. and M.A. (with honors) from San Francisco State University.

## Career

Colman was a freelance reviewer for The New York Times Book Review and reviewed photography and art for Artweek Magazine and Angeles Magazine. She worked as a personal assistant for Martin Scorsese during Raging Bull, as well as for director Daniel Petrie and comedian Alan King. She was a script doctor for screenwriters such as Callie Khouri, Scott Frank and Ed Solomon.
She taught writing workshops at U.C.L.A.'s The Writers Program, University of Southern California and The College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California.
Her poems have appeared in The Huffington Post, The Gettysburg Review, Ploughshares, The Colorado Review, Barrow Street and elsewhere. They have been translated into Italian, Russian and Croatian.

## Critical response

Writing in OmniVerse, Elena Karina Byrne said of Colman's work: "Cathy Colman’s new work includes poems that view illness as this unwelcome force that also creates the exiled “other” self. The second poem in her book Call Me When You Get There, “Half the Landscape Standing in for the Whole,” opens the metaphorical trap door, not to the basement or attic, but to the sky" Her Borrowed Dress was described by Carol Muske-Dukes in the Los Angeles Times' as "a kind of ecstatic rumination".

# Fatso (service)

Fatso was a New Zealand online DVD and video game rental service that mailed DVDs, Blu-ray discs and video games to customers around New Zealand.
Fatso was founded in 2004 and was based in Auckland. In 2011, Fatso offered over 27,000 titles to around 20,000 subscribers, and had a full-time staff of 25. This made it the largest such rental service in New Zealand. It was operated by SKY TV, which owned 51% of the enterprise.
In September 2017 it was announced that the service would cease to operate on 23 November 2017 due to low membership (fewer than 10,000), making the service uneconomical to run.

## History

Fatso was founded in 2004 by Rob Berman of Westside Media.
In 2008 it merged with competitors DVD Unlimited and Movieshack to form Screen Enterprises Limited, which operated a single service under the Fatso name. SKY TV (which operated DVD Unlimited) owned 51%, with Berman as general manager. The merger was reported as being due to the home delivered DVD market not being "big enough for the three of them."
In 2012 Fatso began offering video game rental, with a service known as "Games Club". It was operated in a different way to the DVD and Blu-ray rentals, with a daily charge per game.
In August 2013 Berman left Fatso, moving to Shop HQ, an e-commerce venture backed by The Warehouse. He retained his stake in Fatso.

## Services
### DVD and Blu-ray rental

Fatso was founded as a DVD rental service, and then also began to offer Blu-ray rentals. Plans ranged from $9.95 a month for two DVDs (one at a time), to $37.99 a month for unlimited DVDs (three at a time). The service was the largest of its kind in the country, holding around 5% of the total DVD rental market in New Zealand. The service had no late fees or set return times.

### Games Club

Games Club was Fatso's video game rental service, started in 2012. Unlike the DVD/Blu-ray service, there was a daily, as opposed to monthly, charge for each game. Games were available for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS2, Xbox, GameCube and Wii platforms, and prices ranged from 49c to $3.00.
Fatso used New Zealand Post to send rentals to customers, and return postage was covered by the subscription costs.

# Markus Kooper

Reverend Markus Kooper (12 September 1918 – 9 December 2005) was a Namibian activist, educator and religious figure. From Hoachanas in the Hardap Region, Kooper was one of the first Namibians who travelled to the United Nations to petition for his country's independence from apartheid South Africa. He is buried at the National Heroes Acre memorial cemetery outside of Windhoek.
Kooper studied with the Rhenish Missionary Society and received teacher training in Okahandja from 1939 to 1942. He then taught at missionary schools in Stampriet, Gochas and Hoachanas until 1946 and became headmaster at Hoachanas in 1949. He also attended ministry training with the African Methodist Episcopal Church and was ordained as deacon. Kooper became the spiritual leader of his community and was appointed to Hoachanas' Pastoral Church in 1955.
In 1956, Kooper spoke before the United Nations on the issue of South West Africa along with Reverend Michael Scott, Mburumba Kerina, Hans Beukes, Fanuel Kozonguizi, Sam Nujoma, Ismael Fortune, Jacob Kuhangua and Hosea Kutako.
The Boere population of Hoachanas resented the presence of the 400-odd Nama residents and repeatedly tried to have them evicted. In 1959 they obtained an eviction order that was confirmed by the High Court in Windhoek. On 29 January 1959, Kooper and his family was resettled by force to Itsawisis, a village 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Keetmanshoop, almost 300 kilometres (190 mi) away from his home settlement. He was brought back by his community in November of that year.
Markus Kooper went into exile in 1960 to petition the UN again, this time as representative of the South West Africa United National Independence Organisation (SWAUNIO). He returned only in 1976 and established a private school at Hoachanas but remained politically active. His community resisted all resettlement attempts throughout the days of apartheid.
Kooper later joined SWAPO and became a member of its Elders' Council. In March 2000 he was awarded the Most Distinguished Order of Namibia.
