In 1528, the Babri Masjid was built in Ayodhya. In 1885, the first suit relevant to the disputed area was filed by the Nirmohi Akhara chief priest Mahant Raghubar Das. In this suit, Nirmohi Akhara was seeking permission to construct a temple over Ramchandra's birthplace. However, the court felt that granting permission to construct a temple would result in riots between the two communities and therefore forbid any alteration of the status quo. In December 1949, idols of Ram Lalla, that is the child Ram, were placed inside Babri Masjid by Hindu activists following which an FIR was registered against the activists. Large-scale worship of the idols placed under the central dome of the mosque caused communal disturbance around the area. The city magistrate attached the disputed land to the court to ensure no communal violence takes place and lock the disputed structure. Remember that no action was taken to remove the idols. In 1950, two suits were filed in the district court by Hindu parties claiming title to the disputed land, one to secure rights of worship and the second to allow worship to continue and let the idols remain. The court ordered status quo. The disputed structure was closed and no entry to the structure was possible. The stand of the Uttar Pradesh government in these suits was that the place was used as a mosque till 1949. In 1959, a third suit was filed by Nirmohi Akhara for handing over charge of the disputed site. In 1961, a fourth suit was filed by the Uttar Pradesh Suni Vakoff Board for possession of the site. In 1984, Hindu groups formed a committee to spearhead the construction of a Ram temple. On 1st February 1986, the district judge of Fezabad passed in order for unlocking the gate of the inner courtyard of the Babri Masjid to allow free access for puja. The UP Suni Vakoff Board in whose records the Masjid stood as a Vakoff property was not even informed. In 1989, all four pending suits were transferred to Allahabad High Court and a fifth suit was filed in the name of Ram Lalla Viraj Man for declaration and possession of the site. In 1990, then BJP President LK Advani took out a cross-country Rathiyatra to garner support to build a Ram temple at the site. Wish for Hindu Parishid volunteers partially damaged the Babri Mosque. In 1991, BJP-led Uttar Pradesh state government acquired land around the Masjid for congregation of Hindu devotees. On 6th December 1992, around midday, a crowd addressed by leaders of the VHP and BJP climbed the Babri Masjid structure and started damaging the domes and within a short period of time the whole structure was demolished. This became a trigger for communal riots not only in UP but all over the country. Following this, two FIRs were filed, one against the demolition and the other against Advani, Joshi and others for inciting mobs. In 1993, the demolition and the violence that followed prompted the imposition of President's rule and the acquisition of 67 acres of land including the disputed area by the central government. In 1994, the constitutionality of the Acquisition Act was challenged in Ismail Farooqi and others versus Union of India in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court however upheld the constitutionality of the Acquisition Act with the exception of section 4 clause 3 which meant that the suits claiming title to the disputed area had to be decided until then the land will west with the government. In 2001, conspiracy charges against Advani and others were dropped by special judge and the revision petition dismissed by Allahabad High Court. In 2010, as mentioned earlier, all the suits were transferred to Allahabad High Court and were ordered to be heard together. In 2010, the Allahabad High Court ordered a three-way division of the 2.77 acres of disputed land one part to the Sunni back of board and one part east to Nirmohi Akhara and Ramlallah. In 2011, the Supreme Court which had earlier said that the Allahabad High Court verdict was strange and surprising, state the Allahabad High Court order. Appeals against this order were then filed in the Supreme Court. Year 2017, 16 years after dismissing the charges against Advani and 13 others the Supreme Court decided to revive these charges. In October 2018, the Supreme Court turned down an appeal for the urgent hearing of title suits and said that the hearings would start in January 2019. Year 2019, after mediation proceedings by Supreme Court appointed three-member team failed to find an amicable solution to the dispute earlier this year a five-judge constitution bench began day-to-day hearings on August 6th. The daily hearings at the Supreme Court came to an end after 40 days on October 16th. The final judgement came today on 9th November. The verdict recognized that the destruction of Babri Masjid was a violation of law. In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court held that the entire disputed land of 2.77 acres in Ayodhya must be handed over for the construction of Ram Mandir. At the same time, the court held that an alternate plot of five acres must be allotted to the Sunni back of board for construction of a mosque.


Misinformation about COVID-19 is a serious threat to public health. Our study found that people who believe in false or exaggerated claims about the virus are more likely to be non-compliant with public health guidelines and less likely to get vaccinated themselves or recommend it to others. Additionally, those who have greater trust in scientists and higher numeracy skills are less likely to believe in misinformation. These findings suggest that interventions to increase trust in science and critical thinking could help reduce the spread of misinformation and protect public health.

If we had to do one at once a day. Do you like humidity? Yeah, I know. I'm going to make sure that it's all right. If we get a cold meal one day, let's say kebab meat and something simple. We have been here with our partners for a few weeks, going into the sustainment phase. So what we're looking at is improving processes and how we do things. Particularly the food options that we provide them. What we want to do is get their food to taste like how they're used to. So they're better prepared as far as nutritionally and how they receive the food that we give out to those individuals. What they're looking at is adding a little bit of spice, home spice to their food basically. So just from their quick demonstration, we noticed that they do use a lot more oil in their foods. Particularly the rice and their onions and a little bit of more tomato based meals. They have made their own adjustments and given their recommendations as to how we can make their food more palatable for their liking. So having the meal with them is an awesome opportunity to not only integrate but also understand. And that's really what's important is understanding their culture and how we can work together as one team.


Come here. Come here. Let's go. Let's go. You're in the air! What do we do? We're running! We're running, we're running!


The NRC-Adams Licensing Support Network Library how-to video series performing a simple content search with search terms. There are several simple content searches that will locate relevant documents by scanning the text of all 3.7 million records in the LSN library. For example, to search for records related to the desert tortoise, a threatened species near Yucca Mountain, select the box labeled specify search terms and type in desert tortoise. As the word desert is typed in, the computer displays dynamic search options such as desert tortoise, desert rock and desert soils, as well as the estimated number of records that the search will find. This helps you choose the best search words. When you finish typing in desert tortoise, activate the search by clicking on the magnifying glass icon. The search returned over 11,000 records which includes all records that contain both words somewhere in their text. The results section highlights the search terms you used. If you insert the word or in caps between desert tortoise, the search expands to include records that have either word in them, which produces many more results. Putting quotation marks around desert tortoise limits the results to only those records where the words appear right next to each other. Finally, a search can exclude records containing certain words by using a minus sign. For example, you can exclude from the desert tortoise search any document that mentions the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by typing desert tortoise space minus NRC. Having completed several searches, you can switch between them with the forward and back buttons in the upper left corner.
