French Burqa Ban

I am no fan of Burqa, however this ruling is bit vague and contradicts its own self. The idea is that women should not be told what to wear by men. i.e. there is a underlying assumption that all women who wear Burqa are forced to wear it. Going by that logic, isn’t state trying to do what it is trying to avoid i.e. telling women what to wear?

Lets take a look at another perspective. Let us for a moment compare Burqa with Guns i.e. think of it as a curse on society which does more harm than good. In this fictional account, the Burqa makers should have a similar ruling against them, just like  gun manufacturers would. However, I don’t see French authorities trying to stop Gucci & Prada trying to manufacture Burqas.

But then, modern societies have always been full of pretences and double standards. Is it capitalism ?

How to create a new Panel / PanelStack in ATG CSC

 

This is at a macro level without going into the details of each activity.

  1. Create Panel stack definition in ServiceFrameWorkRepository_production repository.
    If you don’t know where to locate it, go to /atg/registry/ContentRepositories and it should be listed in there.
  2. Create Panel Definition in ServiceFrameWorkRepository_production repository
  3. Create access right in InternalProfileAdaptorRepository
  4. Grant the access right for this panel to a role.
  5. Add the Panel name to the list of panels in FrameworkComponents.properties
  6. Connect the Panel stack to the Tab under which it should be appearing.

    That’s all there is to it.

Thanks
