{"text": "Miró arrived in Paris in 1920 as a young painter among thousands of other artists flocking to the city in the aftermath of the First World War. Though it is a cliché, Miró really did have to struggle in his first years there.\nThe Farm 1921–2\nOil on canvas\n123.8 x 141.3 cm\nThey were hoping to recapture some of the creative excitement that had been cut short by the conflict and, in many ways, they did. After all this was the era of the liberated ‘flapper’, the early waves of black American Jazz and a high-point of the ‘Ballets Russes’. Artists poets and writers from east and west, north and south converged on Paris, all hoping to secure their first exhibition, publication or commission.\nMiró came better prepared than most as the dealer Josep Dalmau, who had shown his paintings in Barcelona in 1918, was also prepared to help find him an exhibition in Paris in 1921. Even this was no guarantee. When Miró later recalled that he made works in a state of hallucination brought on by hunger it was probably not an exaggeration.\nOne of the works that most perplexed people was The Farm, that Miró made during 1920-1 and would always consider his first masterpiece. It is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington (which is also the final venue of this exhibition) as a gift of the widow of the American writer Ernest Hemingway.\nWhile Miró’s friendships among the Surrealists in Paris are well-known, it is perhaps a little more unexpected that he was close to Hemingway and knew a cross-section of the famous British and American ex-patriates. He boxed with Hemingway as well as having him to stay at Mont-roig, the place outside Tarragona depicted in astonishing detail in The Farm. Miró told a journalist in 1928, ‘The Farm was a résumé of my entire life in the country.’ It shows the outbuildings at Mont-roig, with domestic animals, crops and equipment. The dog barks at the moon in a way seen in a later painting. Miró’s great achievement is to make this detail succinct and absolutely clear. It is not an impression of this well-loved place, but something more like a condensed version.\nWhat was difficult, though, is that he eventually had to sell it. No one in Paris seemed to respond to it, so that despite the huge amount of time dedicated to it, the painting became less of a masterpiece and more of a burden. Hemingway wrote in 1934: ‘After Miró had painted The Farm and after James Joyce had written Ulysses they had a right to expect people to trust the further things they did even when the people did not understand them’. Hemingway gave a, possibly slightly elaborated, account of how he came to buy the painting - winning the right to do so from his friend Evan Shipman by rolling dice - but he also made this telling summary: ‘It has in it all that you feel about Spain when you are there and all that you feel when you are away and cannot go there. No one else has been able to paint these two very opposing things.’"}

Walsh didn’t reply to a message looking for additional remark.\nFleury received the Stanley Cup thrice with Pittsburgh — twice as a part of a tandem with Matt Murray — and led Vegas to the 2018 ultimate. The 35-year-old was the starter till the Golden Knights traded for Lehner on the deadline in February.\nCommon supervisor Kelly McCrimmon mentioned the workforce spoke with Fleury the day of the commerce and with Lehner upon his arrival to make sure them of the association.\n“We didn’t really feel that we had sufficient assist behind Marc-Andre, in order that was the motivation behind the deal,” McCrimmon mentioned not too long ago. “I believe there’s a great relationship between each goaltenders and every is obtainable for a similar purpose: to attempt to assist us win.”\nFleury stays with the Western Convention top-seeded Golden Knights within the Edmonton bubble. Video games 5 and 6 of this sequence, if needed, are scheduled on back-to-back days and would lend themselves to splitting the duties in web.\nThat will not occur for Vancouver, which has ridden Jacob Markstrom to seven wins in 10 video games. The 30-year-old Swede has been among the many greatest goalies within the playoffs with a .929 save share.\n“He’s a fantastic instance of, one, how lengthy it takes goaltenders to develop and the way shortly individuals can provide up on guys,” mentioned DeBoer, who coached the Florida Panthers after they drafted Markstrom in 2008 and when he noticed his first NHL motion a couple of years later. “The truth that he’s persevered and turned himself into top-of-the-line goaltenders on the earth and the way lengthy it took for him to try this, I give a ton of credit score to him as a result of that path hasn’t been straightforward.”\nBOSTON BRUINS VS. TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING, Recreation 1 (eight p.m., NBCSN)\nBruce Cassidy figured his Boston Bruins would run into the Tampa Bay Lightning within the 2019 playoffs with every workforce wanting like a Stanley Cup contender. Columbus swept Tampa Bay in gorgeous style within the first spherical, delaying a rematch between the Atlantic Division’s perennially two greatest groups.\nThat is a actuality once more now, within the second spherical two years after the Lightning eradicated the Bruins in 5 video games.\n“We’ve grown since then,” Cassidy mentioned. “I believe we’re a greater workforce. I imagine I’ve had extra playoff expertise. Now it’s going to be two very evenly matched groups going at it. Every workforce’s in all probability not 100 p.c wholesome however for essentially the most half have sturdy lineups and are able to go.”\nTampa Bay remains to be with out Steven Stamkos, and coach Jon Cooper once more bristled at questions on his injured captain, who’s “not accessible proper now.” Stamkos in July aggravated a core muscle harm that he had surgical procedure on in March and hasn’t performed since February.\nHowever the Lightning have discovered a groove with out him, beating the Blue Jackets in 5 to get revenge for final yr. They’re wanting ahead to a measuring stick sequence towards Boston.\n“It’s two groups that play with lots of delight and clearly guys which have been on one another’s groups for fairly some time and confronted off towards one another many occasions,” Tampa Bay defenseman Ryan McDonagh mentioned. “You’re accustomed to the model that they play, and the depth you understand goes to be there for certain proper from the beginning.”\nExtra AP NHL: and\nCopyright 2020 The Associated Press.

{"text": "Manitoba First Nation proposal to repurpose youth centre as field hospital passed over for temporary shelters\nContract to construct temporary field hospital given to Calgary-based firm\nA northern Manitoba First Nation is wondering why the federal government ignored their community's proposal for an emergency COVID-19 response space in favour of a Calgary company's.\nChief and council of Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (MCCN) say they were not involved in the process leading up to the awarding of a contract to Dynamic Air Shelters to build an emergency field hospital in preparation for a possible COVID-19 outbreak in the community.\nMoving forward, chief and council are hoping for an open dialogue with Indigenous Services Canada.\n\"We're not saying no to their suggestions and proposal, they're looking out for us and we're grateful for what they've done,\" said Chief Lorna Bighetty.\n\"But it would be better for them to talk to us first.\"\nTheir community of Pukatawagan has a population of 2,300 and is 700 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. There is no year-round road access but it is accessible by railway from The Pas.\nBighetty said the government stepped in because they realized the community didn't have the capacity at the nursing station to handle a possible outbreak. The nursing station has five examination rooms and one holding room, and Bighetty said it is understaffed and unable to meet the demand at the best of times.\nShe said chief and council have been advocating for an expansion of the nursing station since last year.\nThere have been no cases of COVID-19 in Pukatawagan, but for the last two months the community has been locked down and making preparations in case of an outbreak.\nCommunity proposed finishing construction on centre\nOn April 15, an MCCN band employee received an email from a British Columbia-based architecture firm that informed them the federal government was accepting proposals from companies to manufacture and deliver structures for a temporary field hospital.\nThe following week MCCN put together a formal proposal to complete their 6,000-square foot youth centre, which is under construction, and outfit it as an emergency shelter and response space.\n\"We started the construction in November and we were 90 per cent complete right up to the point where COVID hit and it was a lockdown,\" said Councillor Ralph Caribou.\nHe said the chief and council saw their proposal as more cost effective and believed it would provide a more rapid response if the virus came into the community.\nPart of MCCN's proposal would see the construction company that had been working on the youth centre brought back to the community but isolated in their own camp that would be attached to the facility.\nThe crew would be tested prior to entering the community and have their temperature checked every morning and night.\n\"It's only two to three weeks to complete it,\" said Caribou.\nAll the needed resources like a medical facility, quarantine areas and accommodation for the medical team could be in the one building, added Caribou.\nThe youth centre could also serve as a regional facility for the nearby communities of Granville Lake and Sherridon in Manitoba, and Sandy Bay in Saskatchewan.\nMCCN said they did not receive any feedback from Indigenous Services Canada about their proposal and on May 3, found out through an article published by CBC News that the contract had been awarded to Dynamic Air Shelters.\n\"We were very surprised at how the information was released to the whole world and Pukatawagan was not aware of the planning process that Canada was doing,\" said Councillor Shirley Castel.\nShe said when MCCN found out about the contract they were \"surprised, baffled and angry\" because there wasn't any consultation with the community.\nTenders not being made public\nIn an emailed statement, PSPC said that \"given the unprecedented needs that have arisen as we face COVID-19, an urgent and accelerated timeline for contracting has been required in certain cases.\"\nIt said that in this case a \"National Security Exception\" was invoked. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was not published on its website for public tenders and was instead sent only to a list of known suppliers.\n\"Many PSPC procurements related to the COVID-19 response are being done under National Security Exception (NSE). Such solicitation documents are not publicly available,\" the statement said.\n\"Indigenous businesses have the full support of the federal government and we will continue to work with all partners to increase access to future opportunities.\"\nLate Friday, ISC said in an emailed statement that a discussion had happened April 24 with MCCN about infrastructure to support their COVID-19 preparedness.\n\"The department has since held two discussions with the community on May 5 and 6 relating to options for surge infrastructure which included upgrading existing facilities in the community to meet the immediate needs related to COVID-19, while also supporting the longer-term infrastructure priorities of the community,\" said the statement.\nISC said it has commited $353,000 for upgrades to the youth centre."}
{"text": ":\nWidespread experience with machine vision products but were aware of the technology. The general feeling was that systems were potentially useful but expensive, complicated, lacking in sophistication, and difficult to implement.\nAt that time, there was a strong machine vision market with many thousands of vision systems installed worldwide. But most of them went to cash-rich, high-technology companies-typically operating in the electronics and semiconductor industries.\nProgramming often took a capable software engineer weeks, and the cost to develop a working system could be considerable and cost-effective only if there was sufficient demand for a large number of systems that could run the same software.\nToday, there are many machine vision systems able to fulfill a wide range of inspection tasks requiring different configurations. Generally, they fall into three categories: frame grabbers, PC-based vision systems, and machine vision sensors.\nFrame grabbers allow programmers to configure highly specialized applications, with very few limits on the level of complexity they wish to include. Development may be long and complicated, so it is usually limited to applications with many repeat systems.\nPC-based vision systems are easier for configuring even sophisticated applications, often for one-off tasks, where a reasonable amount of time and money is available for development.\nMachine vision sensors allow for configuring quick, cost-effective systems. This is the largest growth area in the vision market and where the majority of vision developers target their products.\nToday, there is a growing trend toward using machine vision sensors, which in many cases are compact and affordable enough to go throughout the factory. By using vision sensors at key process points, users find defects earlier in the manufacturing process and can quickly identify equipment problems.\nThe most advanced vision sensors available today offer built-in Ethernet communications, which enable users to distribute vision throughout the process and to also link two or more sensors in a fully manageable, scalable vision area network, where data can be exchanged among sensors and managed by a host.\nA network of vision systems can also be easily uplinked to plant and enterprise networks, allowing any workstation in a factory with TCP/IP capability to remotely view vision results, images, statistical data, and other information.\nIn many ways, the uptake of machine vision compares with the use of computers. In the 1980s, computers were large and expensive, with complicated operating systems. Only experienced users would toil at the keyboard. Now, with PCs' evolution, prices have dramatically fallen, and PC-based machine vision has become widespread.\nAs machine vision becomes even more affordable, more compact, and easier to use, you will likely find many small, discrete camera stations along a production line instead of a single system inspecting only at the end of the line.

{"text": "Excerpt from the concert\" \"Wagner en plein air\" presented by Hydro-Québec at the FestivalOpéra de St-Eustache in collaboration with les Dimanches sur la promenade de la Ville de St-Eustache.\nJuly 2013\nGuy Lessard, media\nMy favorite of the 2014 festival was the Wagner aperitif event. Organized by the company HYPERLINK \"\" Storms and passions and its artistic director Guy Lessard, this event was a full house during the three performances that took place at the Chapel of the Museum of French-speaking America on July 28, 30 and 31, 2014. (…) Undoubtedly, the most emotional moments were those bringing together tenor Guy Lessard and soprano Luce Vachon at the end of the concert. Giving themselves the line in several arias from the first act of the opera The Valkyries (Die Walküre), the two artists were able to translate all the intensity of Wagner's music, not only by their precise and controlled voices, but also by a disturbing dramatic play.\nExcerpt from Daniel Turp's blog, Saturday August 9, 2014 (No 2014-28)\nAs a second glass, an assemblage of the entry and the duet of Siegmund and Sieglinde from the first act of the Valkyrie with two Wagnerian-born voices, the tenor Lessard and the soprano Vachon. What better way to empty your aperitif glass and go to dinner. Antoine Raspa, Wagner at the aperitif, International Opera Festival. Infopera September 2014.\nTalented singers give life to the character, for example the tenor Guy Lessard.... Guy Lessard happily assumes the role of Alfred, Caroline's suitor and plays very appropriately on the contrast between his appearance, ridiculous and paunchy, and his magnificent tenor voice.\n- THE DAILY, February 16, 2002\nHave\nTalented singers give life to the characters, for instance tenor Guy Lessard… Guy Lessard brought a happy Alfred, Caroline's love interest, and his acting was well contrasted between the obious “ridiculous” (of his character) and his magnificent tenor voice.\n- DON JOSÉ (CARMEN) Palais Montcalm, Quebec (Chœur Les Rhapsode inc.)\nHave\nTowards the end of the first act, we saw the birth of Don José's passion. What sadness in the flower you threw at me! What despair! His warm voice gave us chills. We knew he was in pain. In a few seconds, Guy Lessard succeeded in making us forget the toreador. Don José continued to move us scene after scene. Until the end, we stayed close to him and lived with him the loss of his love. And when the one he adored died in his arms, when the blood of the one for whom he had left everything smeared his hands, when he cried, lying next to her body, we cried, we too.\n- Mylène Gilbert, THE SUN, June 6, 2002)\nHave\n…We have seen Don José's passion, so much emotion in “the flower you threw at me”. His warm voice gave us goose bumps, we suffered with José. In a few seconds Guy Lessard made us forget about the Toreador. Act after act, Don José never ceased to touch us and we felt the downward spiral of his love. When, at the end, José was crying with the lifeless body of the one he once loved in his arms we cried with him.\nThe timbre is warm and valiant.\n- Yves Cantin, INFOPERA, May 2002\nHave\nThe tone of his voice is warm and heroic.\n- CITIZEN'S DAY (Recital of opera arias) Sainte-Thérèse, New World Philharmonic Orchestra\nHave\nIt must be said that if the public was delighted, it was largely due to the performance of the musicians and soloists, Guy Lessard and Luce Vachon. / I must say that if the public was pleased it was mostly because of the musicians and the soloists, Guy Lessard and Luce Vachon. - Mychel Lapointe, JOURNAL DU NORD, August 21, 2002\nHave\nduo de Aïda de Verdi avec Luce Vachon dans Amneris nov 2015\nl'Homme armé Opéra de Québec oct 2015\nde Quesnel au FestivalOpéra de St-Eustache 2011\nduo de Aïda de Verdi avec Luce Vachon dans Amneris nov 2015"}

{"text": "After a couple of hot months, this cooler weather has fooled some of us into thinking that it's Autumn, but Summer is not quite over yet, not in our garden anyway. I love this rose:\nAnd these two-tone gladioli are amazing:\nThe tomatoes in Mr A's greenhouse will be ripening for another month or so yet:\nWe're already getting a steady supply of them, plus a few raspberries which you can see tucked into the front of the bowl:\nAnd there's enough root vegetables to keep us well fed:\nYou can't beat 'growing your own'. If I had to choose my favourite crop it would be peas. I love them so much that they rarely make the journey from the garden into the kitchen intact! What's your favourite crop?\nOur tomatoes are nowhere near that stage. I've had three ripen so far, but that's all. The cherry toms are still bright green! And you're only just down the road from here. Amazing what a difference a few miles makes.\nIt's only the tomatoes in the greenhouse that are ripening. The ones outside are still green.\nYour garden is lovely (and I wish I could smell those tomatoes!). Mine just a jungle, though the tree man came this morning and given some of the trees and shrubs a bit of a headache.\nHmmm, that smell in tomato plants is so distinctive and I'm afraid it's not one of my favourite smells. Love the thought that your trees now have headaches. I prefer to think of it as having been to the hairdressers.\nHi Ros ... it's certainly not cold, cooler than its been ... but the harvest will keep going on and on - those all look so good and no doubt delicious for supper ...while the rose is sweet smelling I hope ...\nYou absolutely annot beat grow your own - and I love those fresh smells .. the tomatoes, the earth and its delights .. a fresh carrot - so good ...\nSo pleased you're enjoying some garden time ... and peas too, beans ... everything one can eat straight up ... fresh apples - we're lucky to live in this wonderful generous country of ours ... enjoy the early harvesting and then late picks too .. cheers Hilary\nYes, Hilary we are lucky in this country and take for granted these rich harvests.\nLovely veggies! I'm still getting tomatoes, peppers; green and hot.\nWe tried growing peppers once. There was nothing to them except for a tough outer skin. Absolutely flat they were. Not growing them again!\nIf I had to choose a favourite it would be mulberries, and really young broad beans cooked pod and all are deliciousl. The thing about growing your own is that you can have things you never find in the shop, such as black runner beans and pink carrots.\nI also love young broad beans although I've never plucked up the courage to eat those furry pods. I've never grown mulberries or pink carrots! Do they taste like orange carrots I wonder.\nAs if publishing a book, supporting your daughter and the cemetery project was no enough, you have a lovely and productive garden too!\nI'm afraid that I have to own up to being an observer-gardener. That means that Mr A grows the stuff and I sit and watch... and I also eat the results of course!\nI agree, there's nothing like fresh from your own garden. Everything looks just lovely and I know you must be enjoying the late summer bounty.\nThose small red potatoes look mighty tasty, but then it all does. I don't think I have a favorite when it comes to veggies. I'm a child of the depression, a clean plate member (when there was food on my plate) so I learned to loved it all. I've always said that depression babies could easily have a tendency to gain weight because we can never waste food. Your flowers are lovely too.\nI like just about anything from the garden, but tomatoes have to be my favorite. Nothing better than a tomato still slightly warm from the sun, sliced on bread with mayo,salt, and pepper.(A mater sandwich, they call it around here.)\nYour garden looks lovely. So does ours. Unfortunately, we missed most of the grapes this year by going away. An \"observer-gardener.\" What a nice term. It applies to me, too. ~Miriam\nooh your garden is lovely! Looking forward to visiting it and can I borrow Mr A to do mine?\npics look pretty and yummy. If I could grow anything I would go with strawberries.........they are a fave.\nLovely, lovely garden, Ros! Mr A has the greenest of fingers, doesn't he? My favourite crop? Runner beans!"}
{"text": "Solar Alliance Energy announced it has completed the installation of two solar projects at two Lexington, Kentucky, fire stations in the first step of what the company plans to be further inroads into the first responder market.\n“These projects represented a unique opportunity for our team,” said CEO Myke Clark. “Expanding our business to work with first responders and reduce their operating costs was a key priority. This is a great first step, and one for which the City of Lexington and the Lexington Fire Department are to be commended for their innovative approach to reducing costs.”\nSolar Alliance is proud to provide energy security to first responders and reduce operating costs for these critical services. The solar systems are expected to supply 30 to 40% of the energy required to power the stations. The Lexington solar projects were installed in partnership with Boyd CAT, a regional Caterpillar dealer that Solar Alliance has worked with on several projects.\nFire stations are energy-intensive because firefighters occupy them and use communication systems in them on a constant basis. In addition, fire apparatus exhaust systems and other equipment require an above-average amount of electricity.\n“The fire department exists to serve the needs of the community, and part of that responsibility means being judicious with the resources we are offered,” said Lexington Fire Chief Jason Wells. “We are excited to be on the ground level of such an exciting initiative.”\nNews item from Solar Alliance"}

{"text": "Alcohol Rehab San Francisco\n- Details\n- Parent Category: Metro\n- Category: San Francisco Drug Rehab\nThe Office of Drug Control Policy reported the percent of students reporting lifelong alcohol abuse for 7th graders was 17.9%, 8th graders were 40.9% and 9th graders were 61.9%. Also reported for the year 2005 were 15,705 people who were admitted to treatment for alcohol addiction which rose to 19.157 people admitted for alcohol addiction treatment in 2006. Effective education regarding the dangers and addictive qualities of alcohol along with effective alcohol rehabilitation can dramatically decrease this statistic. This is where Narconon Arrowhead is a leader. Not only does Narconon Arrowhead educate the youth and residents of San Francisco about the dangers of alcohol but also provides effective rehabilitation services for alcohol addiction with a 70% success rate for those already caught in the devastating downward spiral of alcohol addiction.\nMany begin drinking socially to feel more comfortable in a crowd. Many begin drinking when a problem they can not handle arises and they want to soften the edges of that problem. Before they know it they must drink to interact with others and to handle any problem that arises in their life. Sadly the apparent problem is not solved, just put to the side and becomes worse, and they have also developed and addiction to alcohol.\nMany people who have an addiction to alcohol started drinking at a young age and participated in binge drinking. Binge drinking is defined as consuming 5 or more alcoholic beverages in a short period of time. For many youth, college is a catalyst for alcohol use and many activities include binge drinking. Studies show that more than 35% of adults with an alcohol addiction developed symptoms – such as binge drinking – by age 19.\nHealth risks associated with alcohol addiction are liver damage, pancreatitis and literally shrinking of the brain. Alcohol use is the second leading cause of dementia; one simply ages quicker on alcohol. Women are affected differently than men by alcohol due to the fact that women appear to have reduced levels of the gastric enzyme that metabolizes alcohol - in short, it leaves their system more slowly.\nGeneral indicators to look for in someone with an alcohol addiction are a drastic change in the individuals eating and sleeping patterns along with a change in their mood patterns, especially when they are coming down off the alcohol. When a person’s level of alcohol drops they will be quick to anger and easily fall into a depression. You also want to look for individuation from family and the normal groups they associate with.\nIf someone you know or love is struggling with alcohol addiction and are searching for alcohol rehab in San Francisco California, California.."}

To mark this, Dr Joseph Buxbaum and Dr Silvia De Rubeis of the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment tell us about the condition and the exploration of the genetics behind it.\nAutism spectrum disorder (often simply known as autism) describes a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that manifest with an array of disabilities. A person is diagnosed with autism when they have persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction, and restricted patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.\nA recent report released from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that 1 in 68 children in the US suffer from autism, while boys are nearly five times more likely to be diagnosed than girls (1 in 42 males, 1 in 189 females). These figures are dramatically increasing: the prevalence is 30% higher than that reported in 2012 (1 in 88 children).\nIs this reflecting a true hike in autism incidence? Although we can’t exclude modest changes in risk, epidemiological studies suggest that this increase is likely to be inflated by increased awareness and medical surveillance, and improved diagnosis using standardized criteria.\nThe genetics of autism\nAutism is a complex condition, and many factors contribute to susceptibility. Studies of families and twins indicate a strong genetic component: in identical twins, who share the same DNA, if one child has autism the other twin also has it in 7-9 out of 10 cases, while in non-identical twins this drops to 1 out of 10 cases. This predisposition has its roots in mutations that can compromise the function of our genes.\nUntil recently, less than 20% of autism cases could be identified as having a genetic cause. In the remaining 80%, the uncertainty about the causes increases the emotional burden for families and creates challenges in developing targeted therapies. There is still no medicine for autism: genetic studies are the first step towards the understanding of its neurobiology and the development of novel therapeutics, especially in the form of personalized medicine.\nOngoing genetic studies are revealing the complexity of the genetic landscape of the condition: about 100 genes and 50 chromosomal abnormalities have been discovered so far (reviewed here), but 500-1000 genes are estimated to contribute to risk.\nAdvancing knowledge and accelerating findings with new technology\nIn the last two years, studies using increasingly sophisticated genomic technologies, such as whole-exome sequencing, have made tremendous progress in the discovery of new risk genes. Many of these studies have focused on trios (the child with autism and their biological parents): comparing the child’s DNA with the parents’ DNA allows the identification of new (de novo) mutations. Just in the past 2 years, whole-exome sequencing conducted on about 1,000 trios have identified a genetic cause in 18% of individuals with autism.\nTo accelerate findings, researchers are creating large consortia. One example is the Autism Sequencing Consortium (ASC), a collaboration of over 20 international research groups, including ours, and which was founded by one of us in 2010 (Dr. Joseph Buxbaum). The consortium’s goal is to study 20,000 participants. We’re now completing the analysis of more than 14,000 samples, and our data are identifying many dozens of ASD genes, and unveiling pathways underlying autism.\nGenetic studies have numerous repercussions. Genetic findings are essential for accurate diagnoses, and predictions of additional symptoms. Also, genetic data can be reproduced in laboratory models (e.g. cells or organisms), providing tools to study the mechanisms of the disease, and design new drugs that will lead to more tailored medical treatments.\nIn fact, findings in animal models have been translated into clinical trials for monogenic forms of autism. For example, the discovery that Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) has beneficial effects on a mouse model for Phelan-McDermid Syndrome has promoted a clinical trial at the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment.\nThis and other ongoing trials highlight how genetics findings applied to animal models can be translated into novel therapeutic strategies.\nThe great progress achieved with genomics research in the last few years brings hope to people with autism and their families: a large fraction of genetic factors underpinning autism spectrum disorder will be identified in the next years. This will lead to timely and accurate diagnosis, more targeted genetic counseling for families and improved support and care for patients.\nMapping the newly discovered genes to biological pathways will also help develop novel trials that leverage existing drugs (e.g. IGF-1 for Phelan-McDermid) or explore novel compounds. Finally, the genetics advances will represent the first step of pioneering personalized clinical care by integrating personal genomics data with ad hoc therapeutics."}

{"text": "In just a few months after its explosive launch, the the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat has become one of the most talked about American cars in the past few months. There are plenty of reasons for that, but being the most powerful production muscle car in history is certainly one of the biggest. Powered by an old-school, 6.2-liter, HEMI V-8 that develops a gargantuan 707 horsepower and a tire-torturing 650 pound-feet of torque, the Challenger Hellcat could very well be the most impressive Dodge in history, even stealing a bit of glory from the equally-bonkers Viper and all its versions.\nTo take such a monster and pit it against your average 1990s supercar in a straight line would probably be unfair... for the supercar, which is why even today it would be hard to find a direct rival for the 707-horsepower Hellcat. The boys from the Drive YouTube channel, now with Alex Roy as an added presenter, decided to organize a more unusual drag race involving the most powerful version of the Dodge Challenger. Unfortunately, the result my be a bit too expected even before the actual race, because Drive saw fit to race the Hellcat against... an F16 fighter jet.\nTo make matters worse, it was pouring rain on the Homestead Airforce Base, where the challenge between the two vehicles took place. In other words, the Hellcat was pretty much toast from the beginning, despite the F16 accelerating much slower during the first few yards. Nevertheless, the resulting footage is pretty awe-inspiring even with the added rain drops (or especially with the rain, some would say), despite not presenting an actual \"car versus plane\" race."}

{"text": " sticks supplied by the hotel, we headed off to meet our intrepid truffle hunters somewhere in the countryside.\nThere are a range of different truffles (both black and white). October marks the start of white truffle season – the white ones are rarer as they are only available for a couple of months each year. You’ll find them in the Piedmont area of Northern Italy, especially around the towns of Alba and Asti as well in the hills of Tuscany…which is where we were, with Mauro, our tartufaio and Stella and Alba (simply the best name ever, obviously), our truffle dogs.\nTruffles are a kind of fungus that grow underground, developing a symbiotic relationship with certain types of tree. Their appearance (or not) seems to be random and you will need the help of a truffle pig or dog to sniff them out. All truffle hunters (tartufaio) must register and only hunt on their patch of land.\nTruffles have long eluded successful domestication (though people haven’t given up trying), which adds to the magic of these mysterious bulbs of deliciousness…and also to their price. The day we were hunting, the price for white truffles was around €1,200 a kilo. The record price ever paid for a single truffle is thought to be in 2007 when Macau casino owner Stanley Ho paid £165,000 at an auction for a specimen weighing 3.3lb. For something you’re going to eat?? Wow!\nTruffle hunting is hard work. The vegetation is very thick and wild and there’s a lot of ups and downs. And the dogs run off in all directions, so you have to be pretty nimble to keep up. When they smell something they like, the go mad…you’ve never seen a tail wagging so furiously. Here’s a little film taken on the day to give you an idea\nAlba the Truffle Puppy (I had to give her the full title) was only three months old and being trained. They learn from the older dogs. I love dogs…and these ones are particularly cute and clever and so full of energy.\nAnd here’s Stella, waiting patiently beside her latest truffle discovery.\nLoved the fact that our hunters came kitted out in full camouflage…like they had to sneak up on the truffles. Well, that was fun…and pretty successful too, as we had a selection of fresh truffles to show for it. All we had to do now was eat them! And the perfect place for that was a little trattoria in the small village of Lucardo, called Cera Una Volta (which means once upon a time, aah).\nWe turned up with our truffles, gasped at the views and settled down to see what delights the chef would offer up. Seriously, the Tuscan countryside is as beautiful as you’d imagine it to be…if not more.\nBefore it was time for the truffle-fest we were served a selection of deep fried delicacies, including courgettes (zucchini), aubergine and herby polenta. The Italians are a dab hand with deep frying and these tasty morsels were bursting with flavour and dissolved in your mouth.\nAnd then – truffle time. Because the truffle flavour is so strong and unique, you really don’t need to add much to get the most of it. Truffle butter on toast elicited sighs of delight all round.\nA classic way to serve truffles, with plain, fresh pasta. You can’t believe how good it tastes.\nGenerous gratings over a fresh fried egg.\nTruly a day to remember. Oh and here’s that amazing view I was telling you about. Ever feel like life can’t get any better?\nTo find out how you can go on your own truffle hunt visit\nYou have beautifully captured the day. So glad you enjoyed it and that lunch at our friend Paulo’s restaurant proved to be a hit, you really can’t beat the views.

{"text": "“\nLate yesterday the University of California-Berkeley released to Concussion Inc. a document the university had been obligated to turn over previously, but didn’t, to the lawyers for the parents of Ted Agu in the civil lawsuit over Agu’s death in an extreme workout orchestrated by head football coach Sonny Dykes’ strength and conditioning coach, Damon Harrington.\nBelow is the full statement given to us by Wesley Mallette, Cal’s associate athletics director for strategic communications. At, you can view the document Mallette attached.\nFirst things first: Cal is not really denying that it illegally concealed the “Winter Workout Contract,” which gave rise to Agu’s fatal collapse during an extreme conditioning drill on February 7, 2014.\n“We have no record,” Mallette said, of the document about which this reporter wrote at, and which Concussion Inc. simultaneously uploaded to, Mallette called the two documents “similar.” However, they are not similar at all in the sense that Cal’s is basically just the first of the four pages we published.\n“The term ‘massive’ was not used” in the version sent along yesterday, Mallette helpfully added.\nMaybe so. But a plain reading of Harrington’s deposition transcript confirms that neither version was provided to the Agu plaintiffs.\nIn any case, the word “massive” is but a contributing detail of the Harrington “contract” — heinous on its face, and by any reasonable standard in violation of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules on both practice time and coerced “voluntary” participation.\nMallette said nothing about Harrington’s “grave digger” drill, part of the “combative” category in our version of the document. Nor did Mallette answer the question of whether such insanity conformed to university policy.\nInstead, Mallette debated a straw man: whether the “contract” was a binding legal instrument, as opposed to a control tool by a wacko coach whom no responsible institution would continue to put in charge of impressionable 18- to 22-year-olds — much less on pain of implied loss of their scholarships.\nThat the output of the supremely sick Dykes-Harrington workout regime comprised, within a span of little more than three months, the severe beating by one player (J.D. Hinnant) of another (Fabiano Hale), plus the eminently avoidable death of a third (Ted Agu), seems not to register with a public university that enjoys a global reputation for educational excellence. Cal hasn’t fired Harrington and gives no indication that it will. The chief “reform” revealed by my exchange with Mallette is that Golden Bears football no longer uses the word “contract” in what they still maintain is a routine form of coach/”student-athlete” mutual understanding.\nAll in all, the stench of Agu’s criminal death hangs over my state university like the tons of offal from the white elephant scheme of Memorial Stadium’s renovation, which has yielded “massive” — there’s that word again — debt, and which in turn is crippling Cal’s core mission.\nMore soon from here as the university releases additional documents — or, alternatively, resumes playing games with them — in public records requests for the statement by a Cal player to campus police regarding Harrington’s sadistic methods; for administrators’ internal emails on the scandal; and for the purported “review” of the football strength and conditioning program by Dr. Jeffrey Tanji of UC Davis.\n(Meanwhile, Nancy O’Malley, the district attorney of Alameda County, and her staff are still figuratively sticking their fingers in their ears and singing, “LA-LA-LA-LA-LA WHAT DID YOU SAY? LA-LA-LA-LA-LA WHAT POLICE STATEMENT?”)\nAnd once again: Great job, San Francisco Chronicle, ESPN’s Outside the Lines, and other mainstream so-called journalism outlets. You’re all over the Ted Agu story.\nCongratulations, as well, to all the intelligent football fans of the Bay Area. You don’t deny and cover up rape, like Baylor and all those other backward schools. No, siree. You just deny and cover up homicide.\n==========\nUNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA STATEMENT\nWe have no record of the document posted on your blog which is different in a number of respects from documents we have located in our files. Although similar, the term “massive” was not used in the original version. I am including a PDF of the original for your convenience.\nRegarding the document you are referring to between Coach Harrington and our football student-athletes (Winter 2014), the original agreement uses the term “contract”. Please note that this is not an official “contract” and that term is no longer used. Also, it is common practice for coaches at every level of sport to have a set of agreements with their student – or professional – athletes. These agreements are often referred to as “contracts” by the coaches and are designed to set expectations on subjects ranging from how athletes conduct themselves on social media to dress code to behavior and more.\nTo further clarify, although the team still holds a “competition” in the winter, there is no high-risk punishment involved. The actual “punishment” referenced in the original version of the document was 25 “up-downs” which were to be done in front of the team. An “up-down” is a physical activity that requires one to transition from a running in place position to the ground where one executes a push-up then bounces back up onto his feet to begin jogging in place again before repeating the exercise."}
{"text": "Can cranberry juice cure UTI?Recently, questions like can the UTI be cured by cranberry juice or can cranberry juice cure UTI were posted on the internet and searched by netizen constantly. But can the UTI be cured by the cranberry juice, let’s take a look at the UTI and the cranberry juice.\nCranberry is a small sour red berry that grows on a small bush and is used in cooking. So the cranberry juice is a juice of the sour red berry. But In 2010 a study conducted by the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts showed that the ingredients in cranberry juice named condensed tannins limit the ability of E. coli bacteria to cling to other bacteria.\nWhat is UTI? UTI is an infection that affects part of the urinary tract. This condition commonly is caused by infection and the main cause of this condition is E. coli, which accounts for 80–85% of community-acquired urinary tract infections. The rest of the reasons are Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, Enterococcus, Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium. Therefore, people take the view that the cranberry juice can cure the UTI for people and this view is accepted by more and more people.\nHowever, the study conducted in Massachusetts also showed that without other bacteria, E. coli's ability to grow and reproduce is limited. Therefore, the conclusion of the research is cranberry juice helps prevent UTI but cannot cure the UTI.\nSince the cranberry juice can only prevent the UTIs for people, how to cure the UTI if one gets this condition? One herbal medicine named diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill is highly recommended.\nThis herbal medicine has lots of awesome functions. Since the main cause of this condition is infection, the function of this herbal medicine – clearing infection and toxic materials makes all the toxic materials nowhere to hide. Because this condition can bring urinary symptoms like frequent urination, urgent urination and burning to people, the function relieving stranguria and urine can help increase the urine flow and reduce the urinary frequency. As for the burning, prompting blood circulation and Qi function can eliminate the burning and other uncomfortable feelings. Therefore, the UTI can be cured by this herbal medicine from all aspects.\nAll in all, cranberry juice isn’t a good cure for the UTI. To get a thorough cure, herbal medicine is better than cranberry juice."}

{"text": "The actress took to Instagram to share photos of the revellers who thronged the streets after the win.\nThe pressing urge to be constantly connected while on vacation may lead to a debate on our celebrities’ need for constant validation, but in today’s Day and age, is it even possible to completely unplug?\nRecently, the streets of Paris were filled with joie de vivre as France clinched the FIFA World Cup title. And among the jubilant Parisian fans were Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan who happened to be holidaying in the French capital. The actress took to Instagram to share photos of the revellers who thronged the streets after the win. The city of love was also the venue of choice for Ajay Devgn’s 49th birthday — a low-key affair along with wife and children. The Singham actor also shared the pictures of the memorable day, roaming the streets of Paris. Given the stressful life most film stars lead, sneaking in a quick weekend getaway to catch up on some well-deserved R&R may seem almost necessary. But given the action and play-by-play updates on their social media handles, one can also sense a desperate need for staying in touch with fans, while keeping the social media crawlers up-to-date on their doings. Be it a glimpse of their favourite couture stores or the view from their vacation villas or even a boomerang video of doing something they feel their followers would find hilarious, celebs today are constantly logged in. A behavioural audit would lead to a debate on their need for constant validation, but in today’s day-and-age, is it possible to truly unplug?\nSocial media expert Mayank Jain believes that being active on social media helps celebrities connect more with their fans. “Like everyone else on the social platform, they want to share too. It’s just that being celebrities, they have a wider reach. In fact, they are advised by their social media team to upload their pictures when they are vacationing as that helps in keeping the buzz high and also connect with fans,” says Mayank.\nBut given the unhealthy obsession of media with celebrities, there are those who see such vacations as a time away from the continuous scrutiny they have to put up with. Ever since Taimur Ali Khan was born, the media scrutiny and the amount of attention he gets from paparazzi does bother his parents Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan who were recently in London for a month-long holiday. On being asked about her son being papped everyday, Kareena had said, “At times, I think it’s a bit much. We want to bring him up as normally as possible,” she says. The actress might not be on social media, but she has an overwhelming presence on it. “One does wish that there’s more privacy but with social media, it is very tough. We try to get away from the city as much as possible and that’s also the reason that I stay away from social media,” she says.\nOver the last few years, careers in social media have exploded as companies began realising the value of reaching out to a larger population in a medium they spend most of their time. As a result, brands have started seeing plenty of opportunity in leveraging a celebrity as an influential partner. \"Often, celebrities' travels are sponsored and they agree to post their pictures on their social media for promotions,\" says a celebrity media manager on the condition of anonymity.\nAjay Devgn with his family in Paris\nAs they juggle their need of getting away from the paparazzi and also keep the buzz up in the town for their fans, experts believe that these celebs love adulation and yet crave for personal space. According to psychologist Sneha Jain, the attitude of being updated on social media is also a part of their glamorous life. \"They need space to openly enjoy with their kids, which is not possible in India for them to avoid paparazzi. The pictures they share on social media are also for the fans because they are celebrities for them and they will continue doing that. When you get so much importance, you are inclined to flaunt a bit so probably. Also, they love attention too, that's one reason they like the glamorous life,\" says the psychologist.\nLipstick under my Burkha actress Aahana Kumra however believes that social media becomes a travel partner during her travels. \"I am a solo traveller and love to be on social media as I love to interact with my fans while I am travelling. I share a lot of stories with my fans and that's what they also expect. I don't believe in complete isolation while travelling. Like everybody, we also want to share our happy moments.

{"text": "LONDON Britain's government has promised more than 40 million pounds to rebuild and improve the country's flood defenses that failed to protect thousands of homes over the Christmas holidays.\nHomes and businesses across northern England, Scotland and northern Ireland were hit by storms and torrential rains in December, leaving many without electricity and some under meters of water after river levels reached all-time highs.\nPrime Minister David Cameron has been criticized by opposition lawmakers for not doing enough to protect the country from severe weather and the Observer newspaper on Sunday said many of Britain's flood defenses were being abandoned or maintained to minimal levels because of government cuts.\nIn a statement, Cameron announced a package of more than 40 million pounds to improve flood defenses after Storm Eva brought gales and torrential downpours to Northern Ireland, Wales, England and parts of Scotland in late December.\n\"I have seen at first-hand the devastation caused by flooding. And that's why this work to repair and improve flood defenses is so vital,\" Cameron said in the statement.\nHe said 10 million pounds would be used to improve the Foss barrier protecting the northern English city of York, which was overwhelmed at the height of Storm Eva. The other 30 million would be spent on defenses on other rivers in northern England.\nThe government would also support charities helping those caught up in the deluge by matching every pound of the first two million pounds raised, he said.\nThe opposition Labour Party accused the government of complacency and said the funding would not go far enough.\n\"The government has been woefully complacent about the flood risk, ignoring warnings from its own experts,\" Kerry McCarthy, Labour's Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokeswoman, said in a statement.\n\"Today's announcement of 40 million pounds won't go very far at all ... a lump sum of 40 million pounds is a short-term, sticking-plaster approach.\"\nThe Observer quoted a document submitted to ministers late last year that said investment in Britain's flood defenses had fallen despite the country seeing \"the five wettest years since 2000\".\nOn Saturday, Britain's Meteorological Office issued an \"amber warning\" for potentially heavy rain in eastern Scotland at the weekend and on Monday which could lead to some flooding.\n(Reporting by Elizabeth Piper; editing by Susan Thomas)\nThis story has not been edited by Firstpost staff and is generated by auto-feed."}

{"text": "Fed Update\nIn their meeting that just concluded, the FOMC formally ended ‘the taper’ effective this coming month-end, closing a chapter of multiple quantitative easing programs totaling $3 trillion. This was widely anticipated, though, so markets didn’t react too strongly to the announcement (although some probably would have enjoyed an extension, as hinted about/hoped by a lone committee member last week).\nNo other policy was changed and language was consistent with prior meetings (elaborated on below)—including keeping the controversial low rates for a ‘considerable time’ reference—although it did appear a bit less aggressively accommodative than before. The key Fed mandate issues we feel are most pertinent continued to show improvement, but at a tempered pace.\nEconomic growth: The FOMC’s use of ‘modest to moderate’ was in keeping with prior meetings and lack of strong catalysts in either direction.\n- While measures like the ISM and consumer/business confidence continue to show positive readings, housing stats have been mixed, which concerns members as the segment has traditionally served as a bigger lynchpin of economic recoveries (housing and its related industries comprise just short of a fifth of GDP). Demographic shifts and a role as the epicenter of the financial crisis may partially explain why it isn’t.\n- Global growth outside the U.S. has also been under pressure. While the Fed’s mandate is as a U.S. central bank, not a global one, policy is indirectly affected by and will affect conditions elsewhere. Key areas of interest here are Europe and China.\nInflation: The Fed’s target is a PCE rate of 2%, which translates to slightly more than 2% in CPI terms. The most recent year-over-year readings are 1.5% for PCE and 1.7% for CPI, so we are obviously not there yet, and much of the non-core inflation impact from the past year is from housing/rents. The recent strength of the dollar has served to push imported inflation lower, not to mention the downward impact on prices of crude oil and other commodities.\nEmployment: This second portion of the Fed’s mandate has been more troublesome for them up through this point. Although the headline unemployment rate has declined to under 6%, other metrics continue to show a bit of slack, particularly in the areas of matching job skills to openings and wage growth. The Fed, particularly with Janet Yellen having a special focus on labor, would like to see better. This has improved dramatically from recessionary lows, however, and that’s often overlooked. The debate continues as to whether marginal weakness is due to cyclical factors (severity/depth of the recession carrying over into an extended and slower recovery) or structural (more serious—implying a skills mismatch, permanent erosion of certain jobs due to technological changes and demographic factors, such as retiring baby boomers).\nIf not for the 1977 addition of the second employment mandate, rates may have already started to normalize by now, but perhaps still slowly, as the economic growth component remains at a lower trend pace versus other recoveries over the past several decades. Interestingly, there are some observers (including current/former FOMC members) interested in a more philosophically-limited central bank—tasked with an ‘old school’ primary mandate of safeguarding the dollar’s long-term purchasing power and little else, and using quant rules for keeping interest rates in proper check. The modern Fed has obviously evolved far beyond this basic function since its 1913 inception.\nWho’s going to buy Treasuries and MBS now that the Fed isn’t? They are still reinvesting proceeds of the small amounts of maturing debt, so technically, they’re still involved. (There’s debate about how long this practice will go on—it may or may not continue based on when the first rate hike occurs, as it does offer the Fed flexibility and an additional cushion for influence.) Other than that, markets will have to absorb it. It’s important to remember, though, that bonds, like any asset, are supply/demand-driven and issuance of new debt has dropped as well (due to a lower Federal deficit and stronger post-recession tax receipts), so both supply and demand are declining from a fundamental basis.\nOutlook: GDP for the 3rd and 4th quarters is expected to be in the 3.0-3.5% range. While the stronger dollar may cause some weakness in exports, the dollar’s change versus the currencies of major trading partners (e.g. Mexico and Canada) has been more tempered. Lower oil prices have put a damper on energy companies’ profits and perhaps, if the situation persists, could lessen the interest in energy infrastructure build-out; but they have already been, and could continue to be, a boost to consumers.\nPortfolios: By consensus estimate, the key Fed Funds rate is expected to rise by mid-2015 (give or take a few meetings, based on conditions—Fed Funds futures don’t show a conclusive trend either way until Oct. 2015). A smoother rise would be more acceptable to asset markets, which don’t like surprises, while sharply higher economic growth and/or inflation prints could pose a rate shock. Expect Fed language to remain tempered to keep the possibility of such shocks in check. Naturally, short-term rate surprises would affect traditional fixed income portfolios quite dramatically, as investors have paid quite dearly for the low rate ‘insurance’ of low-credit risk government bond portfolios in recent years. Any shocks can certainly generate volatility, but this has to be kept in perspective, as the cause of the volatility is more important. If rates rise due to stronger economic conditions, that may turn out to be a positive longer-term, as this translates to better company results and could perpetuate positive sentiment for U.S. equities. Conditions abroad will affect sentiment for foreign assets and this is a key current concern for markets—at the same time, though, uncertainly and pessimism can result in investment opportunity, as we all know."}
{"text": "Defenseman\nEric Gelinas – (Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports) scratch, and, ultimately with the Avalanche, an extra body for the machine.\nIn fact, that may very well be what Bergevin has in mind here. Teams are required to dress a minimum of eight veterans for preseason games. Because of his 189 career NHL games (100 minimum), Gelinas qualifies. That means, without committing to an actual contract, Bergevin has helped to fill a quota, all the while enabling head coach Claude Julien to dress fewer actual Habs in those meaningless cash grabs the league likes to call exhibition games.\nGelinas vs. Fleischmann\nIt’s far from being a win-win, as Gelinas can just as easily be discarded like the has-been many around the league believe he is. As Tomas Fleischmann proved in 2015 though, never say never. He caught on with the Habs despite being signed to a PTO for training camp.\nOf course, anyone familiar with Fleischmann’s work that season will readily admit he pretty much used up whatever he had left in the tank to first earn the job, before gassing out one month into the season. That doesn’t change the fact that the Habs didn’t have to give up anything to sign him. It also doesn’t change the fact that Bergevin turned him (and Dale Weise) into a very serviceable NHL player in Phillip Danault.\nCan Bergevin pull off the same feat of brilliance with Gelinas?\nEx-Montreal Canadiens forward Tomas Fleischmann – Photo: Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY Sports\nIt’s admittedly unlikely. First off, Bergevin made that trade as the Habs were in a tailspin and on the cusp of missing the playoffs. If they’re in a similar situation this coming season, chances are good Bergevin isn’t even around to make the deal. If they are and he is, no one will exactly be singing his praises for his wherewithal working the phones. He’ll have bigger worries than flipping Gelinas for an asset of any kind.\nSecondly, Gelinas would have to beat out some quality competition to earn a spot. There are currently eight defensemen on the roster, six of whom are left-handed like Gelinas. That’s not even taking into fellow-leftie Jakub Jerabek, who has a European assignment clause for if he fails to make the team.\nBrowse but Don’t Buy?\nNeedless to say, the deck is stacked against Gelinas to beat just Jerabek out for a job. That’s even if the native of Vanier, Ontario does fit the profile of the type of defenseman the Habs actually need: An in-his-prime leftie who can potentially play with Shea Weber.\nGelinas’ defense is a cause for concern, but his offense would theoretically complement Weber’s sound positioning in his own zone. In many ways, Gelinas is more of a valuable commodity than Mark Streit, whom Bergevin signed by all appearances as a knee-jerk reaction to Andrei Markov leaving for the Kontinental Hockey League.\nOf course, Bergevin may not see it that way. In his mind, Gelinas may just be a temporary means to an end. If that’s the case, it’s still hard to fault him for reaching out. Gelinas may very well turn into dust in the wind, with this being his last taste of NHL action. If it is, no harm no foul.\nIt certainly doesn’t hurt to give him a shot either, though. If you’re going to play him in exhibition games, you may as well take a look."}

Over the course of the centuries, the heritage site has been battered by the region’s fierce weather and is now in desperate need of some TLC.\nMajor renovation works are under way. L’Association Touristique pour la Sauvegarde des Ermitages has set in motion the first stage of an extensive repair programme. The tiny (7m!) chapel is currently undergoing a complete makeover of its façades, where rainwater has eroded the mortar holding together the stonework. A second stage is planned, but the chapel needs your help!\nThe association is now calling on you to help finance the remaining rehabilitation project. Including works to the roofing and the supporting walls, not to mention the painting and preservation of the frescos adorning the interior, the projected cost of the project is no less than 102,170€, 10.24% of which is paid for by the local council.\nTo cover the remaining sum, you are cordially invited to take part in a concert at the Eglise Notre Dame del Prat.

{"text": "Tobacco Frenzy\nEnoch\nLudlow\nSlow Burn:\nThe Great American Antismoking Scam\n(And Why It Will Fail)\nby Don Oakley (Eyrie Press,\n600 pp., $15.95)\nAt one point while reading Slow\nBurn, an image of a towering ant\nhill sprang to mind. Swarms of frenetic insects appeared,\ninexorably pursuing incomprehensible tasks, seemingly\ndarting to and fro at random, bent on movement without\nthought, activity without purpose, completely bewildering\nthe eye of the human beholder.\nI had to lay the book down\nand rub my eyes to expel the chaotic vision from my mind.\nThe book's author, Don Oakley, had been reciting a list\nof anti-smoking studies that accused tobacco smoking of\nan endless list of human ailments from balding heads to\nhalitosis. On and on the list went and with it went all\naspects of reality. It really was too much but after a\nminute or two and several drags from my cigarette, I\neagerly resumed my reading.\nSince becoming aware of the\nanti-smoking movement five years ago, I have resisted\nreading books that analyze and critique the phenomenon.\nBooks exposing the greed and lies of the non-profit\nhealth charities or pointing out the dictatorial nature\nof today's public health establishment, have so disturbed\nmy equilibrium that each new book fills me with dread\nsince to read it will surely enrage. I'm happy to report\nthat Slow Burn\nproved to be an exception to that rule and, happily,\nafter completing it last weekend, I find myself\noptimistic that anti-smoking shall pass as have other\nsocial pathologies.\nDon Oakley, a former\nnewspaper editorial writer, has written a book that is\nencyclopedic in scope and is also thoroughly entertaining\nand accessible to readers ranging from those who know the\nanti-smoking movement well to those who only now are\nrecognizing the dangers presented by a campaign of\ndeception and fraud. Throughout, he casts a journalistic\neye upon the statistical manipulation from which\nanti-tobacco arose and reduces the scientific mumbo jumbo\nto language any layman can comprehend without the\neye-glazing denseness that so often accompanies technical\nsubjects.\nOakley begins his book on a\nhistorical note by examining the the U.S. Surgeon\nGeneral's 1964 Smoking and Health, the\nsacred scroll of the anti-smoking movement. To his\nsurprise, he discovered how difficult it is to obtain\nwhat should be, considering its explosive impact on\nsociety, a report enshrined on tablets of gold. It's lack\nof availability, Oakley makes clear, is understandable\nsince a careful reading of Smoking\nand Health reveals that the report\nwas much ado about almost nothing. It's legacy, however,\nis profound in that it established the pattern of\nsubsequent anti-smoking reports and studies that begin\nwith anti-tobacco conclusions then contort the research\nto conform to the desired outcome.\nEach chapter progresses\nfrom that genesis to subsequent false orthodoxies such as\nthe 400,000 deaths-per-year fraud, the convoluted\nredefining of addiction, the illogical notion of tobacco\nadvertising as the cause of underage smoking and, of\ncourse, the colossal scientific scandal of the secondhand\nsmoke studies. He examines the social and financial costs\nto our liberal society when social engineering replaces\nindividualism and personal responsibility with an\nideology of conformity and control. Interspersed\nthroughout the horror of special interest deceit run\namok, are Oakley's humorous and commonsensical\nobservations of how reality tends to intrude on the\nunreality the anti-smokers have worked so hard to\nmaintain. How, after all, does the tobacco settlement\nhelp the Washington State's Attorney General's\n\"82-year-old mother who has been smoking since age\n13\"?\nFrom the hilarious\nlogic-chopping tobacco studies, to cyber-sex smoking\nsites where forbidden fruit is tastiest, Oakley\nencapsulates 30 years of tobacco obsession into a highly\nenjoyable and personal voyage covering the golden era of\nsmoking, when life was lived to the fullest, to the\ncomical hypochondria that today reduces adults to quaking\ninfants. On the way we laugh with him and come to share\nthe optimism that anti-tobacco shall also pass. For five\ncenturies Kings and Popes have futilely sought to\ndissuade their subjects from indulging in an innocuous\npleasure that has enriched countless lives. What those\npotentates could not accomplish through capital\npunishment and excommunication, cannot not be\naccomplished by bogus statistics, nagging or dreary calls\nto self-denial.\nThat the anti-smoking\nmovement will end, Don Oakley is assured and his\ncontention is backed by a historical perspective that\nplaces the current zanyism where it belongs; on its way\nto the trash heap.\n\". . . it too will\nbecome one of those episodes in history people wonder\nabout and say, 'How did they let such foolishness go so\nfar?'\"\nThat the foolishness has\ngone to far is a given, that books like Oakley's will\nhasten its end is assured."}

{"text": "It had been a week since Mark last encountered Woodman. Mark didn’t believe that he lived on the corporate grounds, not full time. He thought back to the worn tent and the reused campfire pit. Woodman was spending some time there, more time than anyone else. But Mark wasn’t that interested in Woodman’s lodgings. What Mark wanted to know was whether Woodman really did have inside information regarding his project.\nOn Wednesday as the sun was setting, and car after car was coasting to the campus exit, Mark walked out of the building and onto the trail. If Woodman really was living out there, Mark would find him. And he did, at the same half-mile point on the circuit. Woodman wore blue jeans and a red flannel shirt, and he was sitting on a lawn chair, head down slowly flipping through a thick packet of white, eight-and-a-half by eleven inch sheets of paper. Mark could see black text printed on the pages.\n“Hey there Woodman!”\nWoodman jumped. He flipped the packed into his tent and stood up. “How’s it goin’ Mark? You’re out here late.”\n“Well I thought I’d come out and check on you.” Mark joked lightly, “see if you needed anything.”\n“No, no. I’m fine.” Woodman reached up to his cap, removed it, scratched his thinning hair, and replaced the cap.\nMark went right to his question. “Woodman, how do you know what’s going on with Project-X?”\n“Mark, when you’re on the company grounds as much as I am, you start noticing things.\n“Like what?”\n“See this small group of trees that my tent is inside of?”\n“Yeah.”\n“Do you know what kind of trees they are?”\nMark looked smug. “Well the white bark kind of gives it away. They’re birch trees.”\n“Correct. But there are many species of birch tree. Do you know what specie they are?”\n“Woodman, who cares? I want to know how you know about my project.”\nWoodman placed his hand on the white trunk, and looked up at the leaves. “These are silver birches. They aren’t native to America.”\n“So?”\n“Like I said, when you’re on the company grounds as much as I am, you start noticing things, understanding things.”\n“But Woodman you’re outside.” Mark moved his head and looked at the trees surrounding them.\nWoodman removed his eyeglasses, pulled a cloth from his pocket, and cleaned a lens. He then held the glasses out above his eyes, peered to make sure the smudge was gone, and put them back on. “You know Mark, I’ve learned more about this place being outside than I’d ever learned inside.\n“How’s that?”\n“Stuff from inside gets outside.”\nMark doubted it. “What stuff do you mean?”\n“Well to start with, let me ask you. Before you leave work each day, do you put your discarded paperwork into the large locked bins? Like the ones at home that you roll to your curb, but the office ones are padlocked and have just a narrow slot for inserting paper.”\n“I know the bins, Woodman.” Mark didn’t like where he was leading. “You’re taking discarded paperwork?”\nWoodman shook his head. “No, I don’t get anything from the locked bins. The shredding service has the only key and each bin is unlocked only for a moment when it’s being emptied into the shredding truck.”\nMark couldn’t figure out what Woodman was getting at. He didn’t think that Woodman was a threat to him or his coworkers but he felt like he should respond. “Good to hear our paperwork is safe from you.”\n“But it’s not.”\n“Woodman, you just said you can’t get into the bins.”\n“Right. Mark, do you know that on Milwaukee Avenue about ten miles toward the city, there’s a bar…”\n“Woodman, what does that have to do with discarded paperwork? And there’s tons of bars on Milwaukee avenue. Look, I gotta go.”\nWoodman called after Mark. “Sometimes at night I can’t sleep. I get bored of lying in my tent. So around midnight I take a drive. I go down Milwaukee and stop in at that bar.\nMark called back. “Later Woodman!”\nWoodman called again. “Midnight’s about when the cleaning crew is done.”\nMark stopped and turned. “What?” And walked back toward Woodman.\n“Those cleaning guys, and even some of the women, they go to that bar.”\nMark had tired of Woodman’s nonsense, but it now seemed that Woodman was nearing his point. “And?”\n“I hang out with ‘em.” Woodman said as if anyone would do the same. “Only for one drink though. One drink for me that is.”\n“You hang out with the people who clean the office?”\n“I buy ‘em a round or two. Vodka. They like vodka.”\n“And that gets you what? Guys patting you on the back, raising their shot glasses, sharing their stories from the motherland?”\n“Mark. The company rule is for everyone to put their discarded paperwork into the locked bins before they leave each day.”\n“Again with the locked bins? Woodman, I’m getting bored with your conspiracy theories. If you want me to listen, I’d rather you tell me what happens at the bar.”\nWoodman continued to control the conversation. “Mark, do you put your discarded paperwork into the locked bins before you leave each day?”\n“You’re obsessed! No!”\n“How often do you empty your bin?”\n“Oh I don’t know. When it gets full. Maybe once every few months.”\nWoodman repeated Mark. “Once every few months. You’re like everybody else.”\n“So?”\nWoodman stepped toward a low, large stump, the top of which had been evenly cut. He sat. “Mark, the cleaning service is taking documents out of the small bins at each desk, before employees dispose them in the large bins. They don’t take much at one time. No one is noticing.”\nMark responded with monotone sarcasm. “Fascinating. The cleaning people skim our trash. Can they even read it?”\n“Hold on there Mark. That’s a cliché. Just because they’re cleaning people doesn’t mean…”\nMark stopped him and clarified. “Woodman, I’m not trying to insult them. I’m trying to insult the people I work with. Hell, I don’t understand half our communications, especially our systems analysts’ white papers. Anyway, what benefit does the cleaning crew get from stealing our paperwork?”\nWoodman answered with a smile, “It gets them free nightcaps, and it gets me free reading material.”\n“Come on Woodman! You want me to believe that you’ve learned about Project-X from the recycling? Only pieces of information can be pulled from the bins. You’re not getting the full correspondence which is via e-mail, and the project documentation which is on the network.”\nWoodman’s playful smile turned mischievous. “Did you forget that I can find e-mails?”\n“I remember. You could…” Mark emphasized the past tense, “back when you were an employee.” He could no longer hold his frustration. “Shoot Woodman. Now you’re just a squatter and a garbage collector. You make yourself out like you’re in the know. But you gotta be on the inside to be on the inside.”\nWoodman looked at Mark with the warm smile of a parent teaching his child.\n“Mark, do you ever work from home?”\n“Yeah, on Fridays.”\n“And when you’re there, can you get your work done just as if you were at the office?”\n“I can.”\n“And what do you have at your house?”\n“Now wait a second Woodman.” Mark had tolerated Woodman’s questions about the office, but he was bothered by this attempt to expand their conversation.\n“Mark, all I’m asking is what technology do you have at home that lets you do what you need to do?”\nWoodman knew, but Mark answered anyway. Like a child responding to a teacher.\n“An Internet connection, my work laptop, and a cell phone.”\nWoodman nodded toward the slanting gray canvas within the trees and he lowered his voice. “The same stuff I have in there.”\n“Didn’t they take away your laptop and deactivate your login when they let you go?”\n“They did.”\n“But you can still get into the network?”\n“Yep. Justice set me up with a new laptop and a network ID.”\n“What?”\n“Yeah! I’m a contractor now. But no one is to know.”\n“Not to know? Come on Woodman. Your name will be in the e-mail address book. People will be able to see you on instant messenger.”\nWoodman laughed. “Justice set me up as an offshore contractor.”\n“What?”\n“I’m Betula Pendula.”\n“Betula Pendula?”\n“Yeah.” Woodman’s face lit up with pride in his alternate identity. “Google it sometime. That’s why I’ll work for Justice, he puts thought into things.”\n“This is your other job? You’re working for Justice?”\n“I am.”\n“Woodman, why are you even telling me this?”\n“Because I need your help.”\n2 responses to “Woodman’s Other Job (A Continuation of Why Woodman Lives in the Woods)”\nThis is the second of two pieces I read for today’s recording of the Kenosha Writers’ Guild “Speaking of Our Words” radio show on WGTD-HD in Kenosha.\nGood stuff, Jim! I really like the Woodman character. Good dialogue, I like how you reveal bit by bit. You have my interest piqued – I’m eager to see where this goes …"}

{"text": "On the surface, M.E. Thomas appears much like any successful young professional. A pretty woman in her early thirties, she's an accomplished attorney and law professor with a loving family and friends who teaches Sunday school and donates 10 percent of her income to charity. But she also has a scary side, detailed in her gripping new book, Confessions of a Sociopath. We pulled some of the most intriguing passages and asked her to elaborate on exactly what's going on in her head.\n*\nPeople often say, in explaining their horrible actions, that they \"just snapped.\" I know that feeling well. Once, a metro worker tried to shame me about using an escalator that was closed. I stood there, letting my rage reach that decision-making part of my brain, and became filled with a sense of calm purpose. I blinked my eyes and set my jaw. I started following him. Adrenaline started flowing. My mouth tasted metallic. I was hoping that he would walk into some deserted hallway where I would find him alone. An image sprang to my mind of my hands wrapped around his neck, my thumbs digging deeply into his throat, his life slipping away from him under my unrelenting grasp. How right that would feel.\n\"Everyone experiences fight or flight reactions, sometimes in response to trivial actions—for example, people who have killed someone due to road rage. No one has flawless emotional regulation. In this particular instance, I was annoyed from all of the traveling inconveniences I had been experiencing, and the metro worker's response was overly aggressive (yelling at me and making a big deal out of nothing), which I believe triggered my own overreaction. I snapped out of it relatively quickly.\"\n\nIf my life were a television show it would start like this: A young woman sees something moving in the pool—a baby opossum that must have fallen in. The baby's muscles quake with exhaustion; it is on the brink of succumbing to fatigue. The young woman grabs a net and drags the opossum under. The animal struggles loudly, whimpering and squealing, until it manages to get free. But it's barely able to gasp a breath before the net comes down again.\n\"I could see no benefit in saving the opossum (Would it even survive without its mother? It looked like it was almost dead anyway.). Plus, there was some small chance of harm (Would it try to bite me? Did it have rabies?). Because the expected costs seemed to exceed the benefits, I determined that it would be best if I fished it out of the pool dead.\"\n\nYou would like me if you met me. I have the kind of smile that is common among television show characters: perfect in its sparkly-teeth dimensions and ability to express pleasant invitation. I'm the sort of date a man would love bring to his ex's wedding: Fun, exciting, the perfect office escort. And I'm just the right amount of smart and successful that his parents would be thrilled if he brought me home.\n\"One of the main reasons why I wrote the book was to correct misconceptions about sociopaths. Since 1 in 25 people are sociopaths, statistically everyone has interacted with one, probably without knowing it. This suggests that most interactions people have with us are either positive or neutral, or at least not outside the norm in the negative. The stigma against sociopaths is just that—stigma, without much science to back it up. Although it is true that some of us do very bad things, the majority are living successful lives in society with careers and loved ones.\"\n\nSometimes it feels like I am in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and any slipup or indication that I am different will draw suspicion. I mimic the way other people interact with others, not to trick them, but so I can hide among them.\n\"I pretend to like people's dogs, even though I don't. I coo at their babies. We all do this to a certain extent, put on a veneer of pleasantness even if we don't happen to be in a pleasant mood. When someone asks how we are, we reply, 'fine, thank you.' We do not overshare about our problems. Everyone pretends to fit in more than they do. If you don't conform, people tend to consider you a threat and may respond accordingly, as the citizens of Salem did during their witch trials. I now want to be more open about who I am. I wrote the book knowing that the people that know me would be able to identify me and hopefully understand a little more about what it is like to live the way I do so I could be more authentic with them.\"\n\nI've always loved to bike. I'm sure it's incredibly dangerous to do this, and really only for me, but it also freaks the hell out of them.\n\"It's a way to be explicitly aggressive in a relatively socially sanctioned way (the way it is okay to be aggressive in contact sports). In my mind, traffic conditions mean that I'm competing with drivers for road space. I enjoy being pitted against people in honest and open competition. It puts my mind into overdrive trying to strategize the best way to gain an advantage or avoid an incursion into my space.\"\n\nGrowing up, I didn't like to be touched and rejected affection. The only physical contact I craved entailed violence. The father of one of my best friends in grade school had to sternly ask me to stop beating his daughter. I didn't know that what I was doing was bad. It didn't even occur to me that it would hurt her or that she might not like it.\n\"If someone hugged me, I got stiff. It felt too soft. I preferred the straightforwardness and showcasing of power that characterize roughhousing. Eventually I learned to appreciate hugs, but I had to try to like them, similar to how people develop a taste for unusual foods. I thought beating up my friend was the sort of roughhousing that was commonly practiced amongst my male friends or between athletes to show camaraderie.\"\n\nAs a child, when someone invoked my wrath, my eyes turned into dark simmering pools, the roiling of revenge plots apparent just below the surface. I tilted my head forward, my hands curled into fists and my eyes narrowed, as if to focus all my malignant energy on my antagonist for optimum destruction. I glowered like villains do in the movies, shattering the illusion of normalcy I tried so hard to protect.\n\"I think children naturally get mad at things that are beyond their control. One difference with me was that I believed it was possible to strike back effectively (and was very creative about strategizing possible ways), so I had a confidence and sense of purpose in my anger that I think most children lack.\"\n\nWhen my good friend's father was diagnosed with cancer, I cut off all contact with her. I could no longer enjoy any of the benefits she had provided me—superior advice, interesting conversation—because she was horrible to be around most of the time. I had overinvested and was running many months into the red with no improvement.\n\"My friend was a drain. The more I was around her, the more drained I became, and as a result I behaved poorly around her. It was a downward spiral and it was efficient for both of us for me to just walk away.\"\n\nPeople take for granted the empathy with which they were born, and the morality that they internalize. Crying when someone you love cries—I was not born with this shortcut into the hearts of others. Feeling guilt when you hurt someone you love is an internal safeguard to prevent you from losing them, but I have never been able to learn it.\n\"I do feel a lot of things, particularly primitive emotions like anger, joy, etc. I think that the main difference between the way I process emotions and the way other people do is that my emotions don't have the same meaning to me. They don't necessarily reflect who I think I am as a person. I feel them the same way I would feel hunger or exhaustion—I know they're happening and why, but I don't feel like they represent any truths or values about myself.\"\n\nI insert myself into a person's psyche and quietly wreak as much havoc as I can. To indulge in malignity. To terrorize a person's soul. There is a special pleasure in destruction because of its rarity—like dissolving a pearl in champagne. If you've ever had an impulse to tell your best friend that yes, those pants do make her look fat, you understand how liberating it is to unrestrainedly lash out at another's softest parts.\n\"I don't actually destroy people, I just cultivate power. Sometimes I cultivate creative power, sometimes destructive power. I rarely actually exercise the power because I haven't had to and there are frequently large negative consequences. It is enough to know I can.\"\n\nIt wouldn't have mattered to me in the slightest if he dropped dead the moment we stopped kissing. If a gang of teenagers had appeared to kick in his organs and slash his throat, I would have stood by to watch in order to enjoy the enthralling violence of it. If I had not been a young girl with a future to lose, I might have joined them so that I too could feel the satisfaction of his bones cracking and muscles bruising from my blows, these human parts I had caressed only moments ago.\n\"I appreciate violence for the aesthetic expression that it is. I can't be alone in this. Even when you eliminate the entire horror genre, movies and television shows often depict and even glorify violence. I think people find it titillating, to be vicariously confronted with their mortality.\"\n*\nOne night, I strangled my date. We had talked before about sexual domination, and so I felt I had implicit permission to bruise and strike. I slapped hard across her face so that I could feel the memory of high, sharp cheekbone on the palm of my hand for several seconds afterward. I could get my hands around her neck with amazing ease. I might have killed her if I thought there would have been no consequences. I have strong fingers. They are adept at applying equal amounts of steadily increasing pressure, so that the sensation one has under their grasp is of an unstoppable mechanism without regard for the thing inside it.\n\"The interplay of sexuality and violence appeals to me because they both involve an intimate interaction of bodies that is very personal.\""}

{"text": "Mass Effect 2 to Mass Effect 3: Differences and Similarities\nLeveling Up\nIn addition to the ability to alter weapons, BioWare has baked in a more choice-heavy level-up system than was seen in the last game. Instead of one or two significant specialization choices as players hit the top tiers of their abilities, as in Mass Effect 2, now each new upgrade of a players’ abilities will come with a binary choice. As you upgrade Biotic Warp, for example, you’ll be choosing between a duration upgrade and a damage upgrade. Later, the choice will be even more significant, changing the way the ability is deployed and allowing players to include much deeper customization of their characters.\nMore Active Combat\nCombat remains largely unchanged between ME2 and ME3, as seen in the demo. The core of the experience is the same, but the moving parts have definitely gotten a little attention for the latest installment. Namely, players will find it a little easier to move around, change position and avoid fire. Shepard is now equipped with a roll move that can be executed just about any time for a quick burst of lateral speed, and a SWAT turn that lets players move between cover positions. Getting in and out of cover felt more or less the same — that is, kind of unnatural — but the additional moves should help some players stay alive a little better in their next outing.\nAll Story or All Combat\nBioWare is giving players a choice at the outset of Mass Effect 3 about what kind of experience they wish to have. That choice is boiled down to three options: A story-heavy experience that de-emphasizes combat; an RPG-style experience that balances the two; or a combat-heavy experience that de-emphasizes story. Each caters to a different kind of player, and the first and last options cause the game to play out in significantly different ways.\n- The Story-only mode can be considered pretty easy. With the emphasis on the presentation, players will find most of the RPG stuff they’d normally have to worry about streamed out of Mass Effect 3. Characters are leveled up automatically, and while we didn’t get to mess with it, we’d assume that weapons and armor would be parceled out on a “best available” basis. Combat, too is much easier: Players still get to do the shooting, but enemies go down pretty fast and without much contention.\n- The RPG-style mode is the classic Mass Effect experience. Players get all the story choices, all the weapon and character customization, and all the difficult combat. It’s the balanced experience most gamers will expect, and as such, the most arduous and time-consuming.\n- The action-heavy mode pushes down story, effectively turning each of Mass Effect 3′s dialog choices into a cutscene and streaming out extraneous information players would otherwise have access to through dialog trees. Just how this will work in terms of players’ Paragon/Renegade choices isn’t clear; after choosing the action option in the demo, players just have all choices streamed out, but still receive “Paragon” and “Renegade” points as if they made choices. One wonders if BioWare will include a choice at the outset of the game, allowing players to opt either for a straight Paragon or a straight Renegade story. Either way, the action mode pushes players straight into the game, ignoring the character customization menu at the beginning of the game and putting heavy emphasis on the game elements rather than the story elements.\nLots of Unanswered Questions\nOf course, there’s a lot about Mass Effect 3 we still don’t know, even just two weeks out from the game’s release. Changes to the squad system, changes to space travel and planetary exploration, changes to the side-quest system: none of it has been illuminated yet. We know that BioWare intends to integrate all the choices players made in the earlier two games, but just how those choices will influence Mass Effect 3, we don’t know. And we don’t know the logistics of the cooperative multiplayer and Galaxy at War system yet.\nSo based on everything we’ve seen so far, this is just about everything we know to prepare the Mass Effect 2 aficionado for ME3. With just a couple weeks between us and the final appearance of Commander Shepard, now would probably be a pretty good time to replay the earlier games in the series if you’re a little rusty.\nFollow Hornshaw and Game Front on Twitter: @philhornshaw and @gamefrontcom.)."}
{"text": "Bank Holiday incoming! What better way to celebrate an extra day off work than taking a look at FGF618? And look! Thread Of The Week has returned.\nAnd, however you choose to mark the Queen’s funeral on Monday, whether you’re riding bikes, or you’re not, make sure you take a moment to appreciate what you have. Some people have more, some have less, but you have you and (hopefully) a bike to ride that takes you to nice places. Don’t forget that. Bikes are great. In fact, they’re surely inherently a force for good. Has anyone made a film about an evil bicycle? I mean, there are films like Stephen King’s ‘Christine’, or ‘I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle’ but it seems that bicycles are almost universally A Good Thing.\nAnyway, with that in mind, we hope you get to ride a bicycle this weekend and we hope that everyone is nice to you.\nOrbea Occam M10 LT\nOccam LT is the “wilder” Occam. More aggressive geometry, Fox 36 forks (which I [Benji] still think have the best aesthetic of any fork, so there), and 10mm more travel (150mm). Bigger rotors, from Galfer no less. 4-pot brakes. And this particular model comes with a coil rear shock. A Fox DHX in this instance, with a 550 spring (thankfully we have lots of spare springs to try). Occam LT looks to be a very handy burly trail bike. The Orbea Rallon has now evolved to Basque brand’s full-on enduro bike, in case you were wondering.\np.s. there’s a group test of coil shocks in the next issue of Singletrack for all you boing fans out there.\nLezyne Pocket Torque Drive\n- Price: £65.00\n- From: Upgrade Bikes\nLess of a multi-tool. More of a delightful fidget spinner for adults. That said, we’ve done a fair few cockpit swap-outs this week and this little set proved to be a very effective tool indeed. With the handle removed the wrench packs up neatly into a compact, molded EVA case and comes equipped with six hardened steel bits, including 2.5, 3, 4, 5mm Allen bits and T20, T25 Torx bits. A custom composite ‘Matrix key’ is included to help easily adjust the wrench’s torque setting. It’s adjustable between 2 to 6Nm in 0.5NNm increments.\nHope Tech 200mm Floating Rotor\nRemember the Hope stuff we got a couple of weeks ago? The Tech 4 V4 brakes with 220/200mm rotors? Well, turns out 220mm might actually be overkill. Don’t tell anyone, m’kay? We asked Hope to send in a 200mm rotor for use up front to help us in our flailings. Oh, did we tell how insanely powerful the new V4 brake is? Review coming soon!\nHope Tech Race Pro (AKA ‘Green’) Pads\nThe semi-mythical Green Pads of Hope. Purest green, if you will. What’s so good about them? Everything, apparently. There does seem to be something happening over in Barnoldswick with brake pads. They may be a small part of the system but – like tyres on a bicycle – they are arguably the most important part. “Absence of noise. Better feeling, progressiveness and braking power. Minimization of vibration to the wheel. Resistance to high temperatures. Increased durability.”\nBike Tag\n- Price: £25.00 (Apple AirTag not included)\n- From: Bike Tag Co\nAnother edition of Fresh Goods Friday, another Apple AirTag-based bike security system. Still, choice is good. And we like the cut of this system’s jib. Made over the border from Singletrack HQ, the Bike Tag discretely holds an Apple AirTag up inside tapered fork steerers. Weather-sealed. Made in the UK.\nRedshift Sports ShockStop PRO stem\n- Price: £269.99 (Regular version £179.99)\n- From: Ison Distribution\nHello readers, this is the Eighties calling and we are back, baby! For those of you old enough to remember the Girvin Flex Stem and the Allsop Softride stem, the ShockStop PRO Stem will definitely trigger the memories of simpler times when bike suspension was all in your arms and legs.\nComing in a range of sizes from 80mm to 120mm and available in either a 6 degree or 30 degree rise, this particular one has been nabbed by Sanny to be used on his DeAnima gravel bike. Featuring interchangeable elastomers, this lightweight version features titanium hardware and CNC machining to reduce the weight down to 242 grams while offering 20mm of vertical travel.\nRedshift reckon that the suspension on offer means that you can go faster, ride further and have better control when riding over rough surfaces. Bold claims which Sanny is going to put to the test. Just don’t be surprised he takes you on a trip down memory lane as he does so.\nShimano GRX Cranks and Front Mech\nThe true champion cyclist will train hard in all weathers to get in shape to win. When faced with an upcoming, legendary cyclocross race with enormous mountains to climb (the Three Peaks…) the rest of us will panic-buy lower gears so that we can grind up the hills even slower while delaying having to walk… That’s exactly what Chipps has done, having learned that Shimano’s GRX makes a knee-friendly 46-30T double chainset (at a very fair price for the GRX 600 chainset). However, the matching Di2 GRX front mech that lets you shift between the two, costs twice what the chainset does. At least Chipps is going to be committed to finishing now. No more excuses…\nFidlok TWIST Bottle and TWIST base\n- Price: £39.99\n- From: Ison Distribution\nOccupying the “why did I not think of this?” category of deceptively simple designs, the TWIST bottle and base from Fidlok is a new take on mounting your bottle on your frame. Using a mechanical and magnetic mount system, the bottle twists in and out of your frame with none of the frantic wrestling you can endure with traditional bottle cages.\nThe BPA free, dishwasher safe bottles come in a range of sizes; this being the biggest at 800mm and feature a flip top cap to keep trail dirt off your bite valve (or as Sanny discovered when he fitted it to his bike after taking these shots, dogs business!)\nIdeal for smaller frames or frames where bottles and cages can interfere with under the top tube frame bags, this looks like a really promising alternative to cages. Sanny will put crayon to paper and share his thoughts once he has put it to the test.\nSingletrack Ride And Shine Coffee\nNot Covfefe. Coffee.\nIt can still make you trump.\nSingletrack Organic Tea Towel\n174gsm weight is nice and weighty. 76 x 48cm dimensions. Organic Cotton, because the planet has enough chemicals already. Made in the UK by people who happen to ride mountain bikes.\nCar Park Cat\n- Price: N/A\n- From: The Car Park\nNot one to mess with.\nThread Of The Week\nToTW returns after a mini-break. Congratulations this week goes to lesgrandepotato for… this:\nEvery week the winning TOTW in FGF gets a prize. And it’s the majestic Forum Bottle Opener that is to be awarded.\nSo.. OI! lesgrandepotato! Please email editorial@singletrackworld.com to claim your opener.

{"text": "‘This is the symbol of the graces which will be poured out upon the persons who ask them of Me.. Have a Medal struck on this model; the persons who wear it will receive great graces; graces will be in abundance for those who have confidence.’\n– Our Lady to Saint Catherine Labouré\nI have worn a Miraculous Medal for as long as I can remember. Her image is always there around my neck – and on those very rare occasions when it is not there, I am acutely aware of it’s absence. It is my ‘Shield of Mary’ – a sign of Her presence, Her protection and Her motherly intercession.\nGiving the Medal to Saint Catherine Labouré in Paris in 1830, the Blessed Virgin asked that we wear it, promising graces to those who would do so with confidence in Her.\nIt recieved the name ‘Miraculous’ because of the wonders which occurred within a few short years, because of which millions of Medals were being worn by the faithful – and by those of no faith.\nThe little Chapel in the convent in Paris where Saint Catherine saw the Mother of God is still there and it is constantly filled with people from all over the world, giving thanks to the Blessed Virgin for so many kindnesses and favours, wrought through the devout use of Her Medal. I have been to that Chapel many times and I can attest that it is a truly holy place.\nEach morning, I kiss the Medal and ask the prayers of the Mother of God, Mary Immaculate. She is the Mediatrix of All Grace, the channel through which God chooses to dispense graces to souls, for She is the Mother of Divine Grace. The Lord entrusts grace to Her, to dispense as She pleases.\nSo many of the Saints have promulgated this Medal – notably, Saint Maximillian Kolbe. Saint Bernadette Soubirous was wearing a Miraculous Medal during the appearances of the Blessed Virgin at Lourdes – indeed, she commented that when the Lady finally gave Her name, Her pose resembled that depicted on the Miraculous Medal.\nMy personal experience is that the Mother of God does what She promises to do – She obtains and dispenses great graces through the holy use of this little Medal which honours Her Immaculate Conception.\nI can only suggest that if you do not presently wear a Miraculous Medal, you might consider doing so, and see for yourself."}

The border town, has some of the most known stories of mystery in the province of Huelva.\nOne of them is the specter of the marquis, a ghost that appears in the palace of the Marquis of Ayamonte and whose legend we tell below.\nIn the seventeenth century, the Marques de Ayamonte, allegedly carried out an uprising in Andalusia that sought the independence of the region. Something suspicious due to the lack of involvement in the defense of the border with Portugal that had become independent years before, and that led to an investigation by the Duke of Medina Sidonia. The Duke of Medina Sidonia, denounced these facts to King Philip IV and he was arrested, tried, imprisoned and years later beheaded.\nSo far the more or less true story of a death by a betrayal, however the legend does not end here. According to the inhabitants of the town, in the upper area of the city, a horseman without a head appears riding on horseback, riding through this high area, demanding the death of the duke who betrayed him. These spectral appearances occur on full moon nights.\nHowever, the appearance of the ghost of the marques does not end here, since according to his unofficial biographers, he was a religious man and quite a believer who after his death appears in his palace taking walks and telling everyone that he has no grudge against who betrayed him, in fact he even forgives them since he is not the guarantor of justice and only God is.\nThis message has its importance because after his death, there were other uprisings and uprisings against the king and more death of other nobles by beheading as a warning to sailors."}
{"text": "Are you currently double-checking your eyes because you think that letter S is redundant here in this title? Well, if that’s what you think, then we have to disappoint you. This word is written accurately, and it refers to the process of deriving a metal from its ore.\nThis definition may seem a bit confusing, but that’s why we are here to explain it in a simpler way. Furthermore, if this topic tickles your fancy, keep scrolling!\nHow Much Do We Really Know About It?\nMost of us have some basic knowledge about it, but it is so much more to learn about it. As we mentioned in the beginning, it is an incredibly crucial part of the mining process, extenuating the extraction of various types of metals, such as copper, silver, iron from their ores.\nWe managed to dig up some amusing facts, and we would be pleased to share them with you. Scroll down to uncover more details about it!\nA Tale As Old As Time\nAccording to some information, smelting is actually prehistoric, meaning that it had begun some between 3500 and 3000 BCE in Egypt. On the other hand, some scientists claim that it goes way back to 6500 BCE in a place that now Turkey occupies.\nFurthermore, the first two metals that were smelted were lead and tin and then later followed by copper. It’s interesting to learn that Serbia (Belovode and Plocnik) has started first with copper smelting way back between 5500 and 5000 BCE.\nAn extremely exhausting process\nYou must really love it in order to do it in the right way. Take into consideration that it is often (if not all the time) quite tiresome and that it requires a lot of time and effort.\nIt takes lots of hours to and you’ve gotta have nerves of steel to see the outcome. What is negative about it is the fact that until the end there is no guarantee that things will work out perfectly or solid.\nMoreover, there are so many questions that can be asked during this operation and you could still be left without answers. Still, some smelting companies can resolve all your doubts by giving you the proper info. For anything that concerns you regarding this process, find out more here, and who knows, things might become less confusing.\nHow Is Technology Affecting This?\nAre things getting better or worse? – Luckily, the situation is improving with each of them. Namely, brand-new technologies are playing a key role in both preventing and reducing smelter pollution.\nFurthermore, the elimination of various raw materials, such as recycling aluminum cans, as well as batteries, means that we don’t need to process ore as much as we used to. This automatically leads to pollution reduction.\nModern days and smelting\nThis complicated procedure also requires different steps that must be taken before anything else. The entire point of it is to concentrate the metal ore to the maximum.\nFirst, during this process, a certain metal is mixed with oxygen. Once this occurs, it is then heated to a high temperature, with a goal to merge the oxide with the carbon in the fuel. By utilizing a flux, various imperfections widely known as gangue are being removed. The final “product” that we get is called slag.\nIn the last couple of years, numerous SR technologies have employed non-coking coal with the intention of avoiding any serious damages to the environment. When it comes to copper smelting, a reverberatory furnace is mostly used. A mixture of flux and concentrated ore is being placed to the top, while molten matte then ends up at the bottom.\nLet’s Make Things Clear\nMelting An Entirely Different Thing\nPeople often think that these terms represent the same thing, which is completely wrong. For instance, it’s important to remember that during melting only one thing is altered – the physical state of the substance. Now, that’s not the case with the second process.\nNamely, during smelting heat is being used as well as various reducing substances to induce some form of chemical change so that a metal can be extracted from its ore. Usually, metal ore is combined with a source of carbon such as coke, or charcoal.\nIt’s interesting to learn that ancient civilizations utilized only seven metals: mercury, gold, iron, tin, lead, silver, and copper. Of them all, gold is the only one that can be seen in its original form and it doesn’t require any smelting.\nWhat Have We Learned From This?\nIt seems like people lack information related to this subject but we found it interesting to unearth more about this whole process. It definitely isn’t for anyone due to its difficulty. We can only assume that people who do this either love it to the core or do not have any other option.\nJust think of all the things they need to think about (especially when working with a variety of substances) during smelting and how volatile it could be. Definitely not for everyone!"}

{"text": ", “This is War” [link]\nFriend and comrade Nate George found the following article while researching in the archives of the American University of Beirut. This article, glibly entitled “Child Lib!”, is from the weekly magazine Monday Morning, published by the Karam family. At first glance, especially for adoptees from Lebanon, the article reads like an objective overview of the necessity of adoption in their homeland. Quite on the contrary, it is a troubling read, redolent of much more sinister reactionary forces at work. The premise here: the mythologizing of adoption as a beneficent action based in family creation is belied by its use to depopulate unwanted strata of society. Furthermore, the opening up of a nation-state to foreign adoption is based on missionary penetration of that nation-state, the colonized model of a comprador class seeking to establish itself as dominant, as well as that class’s desire to be seen as “of” the colonizer. I’m publishing it here with extensive notes based on my own research and what I’ve learned about this place these past eleven years. I hope it might be useful to those trying to piece together the puzzle of their adoption narrative. It can be found in PDF form at my academia.edu page.\nThe Article as Published\nChild Lib!\nThis week is Child Liberation Week. The emphasis is not on the liberation of your children [1], but of the thousands of children who are leading a reportedly unenviable life [2] in the various orphanages of Lebanon.\nThe idea of launching this week, which is aimed at improving the lot of these children by exposing their conditions to the Lebanese public, was born in a BUC [3] classroom: more specifically, in an “introduction to Sociology” [4] course taught by Dr. Ghassan Rubeiz [5] and attended by some 30 Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors.\nWhat started out as a modest class project has developed into a project of city-wide proportions, with BUC students, deeply impressed by the substandard conditions of orphanage children, exerting maximum effort to bring this problem to the attention of the public and the authorities.\nIn addition to a week-long program of lectures, films and panel discussions at BUC’s Orme-Grey Hall (see below), the students have secured the assistance of TV’s popular Abu Melhem [6], who will be devoting his program this Tuesday to the conditions of children in Lebanese orphanages. The play will be followed by a discussion of the problem by two BUC students and Dr Rubeiz. Radio Lebanon’s [7] English program will also be focusing on the problem.\nMona Younis [8], BUC student and coordinator of the Child Liberation Week project, explains:\nChild Liberation is an urgent plea to rescue Lebanon’s neglected children.\nOur “Introduction to Sociology” course at BUC has devoted much of its semester’s work to a program concerned with child welfare. We have dedicated our project to Lebanon’s children, especially to the less fortunate institutionalized child.\nThirty students have researched and put together a program which will be held for the duration of one week. We would like to demonstrate what we have observed during our two months of research. Through visits to several of Lebanon’s orphanages and the study of data compiled by doctors and sociologists working in the area, we are in search of another solution to the prevailing conditions. What began as a reaction to observations made by students has led to an involved movement concerned with relaying the facts.\nWe in Lebanon have a responsibility to our less fortunate children [9]. Our orphanages do little more for the social development of the orphan than tuck him away from the world existing outside this refuge. The orphan is not only suffocating in this stifling environment found in the majority of these institutions but will later have difficulties in facing the outside world so long denied him. A study made on the development of children’s I.Q.s shows a marked deficiency in the institutionalized child’s capacity. This is due to the crucial difference between a loved child within a family and the ignored though perhaps well-fed orphan [10].\nLooking ahead into the future of these children we see a less than desirable picture. We commend those who have devoted their time working within the orphanages but there is a desperate need for specially trained personnel.\nWe know of an orphanage in Lebanon which has shown a positive solution to the problem: families. We were so impressed by their method that one of the students, Tim Ledger, has made a film of the “S.O.S. Village.” [11] Their success in caring for the vital needs of their children far exceeds that of any other institution for the orphan in Lebanon. There is hope for their children, but what about the others?\nDue to Lebanon’s rigid adoption laws [12], it is difficult to rescue a child from an orphanage. There is a need for a re-examination of these regulations to help facilitate the return of these children into normal family-based lives.\nHere is a summary of what we will be presenting during our Child Liberation Week:\n- The program consists of an introduction on Monday, January 13, by Wayne Dennis [13], author of Children of the Creche, and our film on the S.O.S. Children’s Village.\n- Wednesday, January 15, there will be an open panel discussion with local welfare leaders, in Arabic.\n- Dr. Bassam Barakat [14], AUH professor, will speak on “The Rights of the Unborn Child” and there will be a film on the population explosion [15], Thursday evening.\n- Friday, we will conclude our program with a reception and discussion.\n- An exhibit will be open for the duration of the week.\n- The program will take place on Orme-Grey Hall at BUC from 7:30 to 9:00 each evening.\nLast week was “Child Liberation Week,” brainchild of the “Introduction to Sociology” class of the Beirut University College, taught by Dr. Ghassan Rubeiz.\nThe Week, aimed at drawing the attention of the public and officialdom to the plight of the institutionalized child in Lebanon, was crammed with information which seemed to represent an indictment of most of the orphanages of Lebanon—an indictment, in fact, of the traditional concept of orphanages [16].\nThe gist of the message, delivered in lectures, panel discussions, and a five-day exhibition at BUC, was that conditions in Lebanon’s child institutions were retarding the development of the institutionalized child, setting him several years behind the mental development of his peers outside the orphanage [17].\nThis point was driven home forcefully in a lecture by Wayne Dennis, visiting researcher at AUB’s Behavioral Research Center and author of a book entitled Children of the Creche (1973).\nDennis, a child psychology professor at Brooklyn College for the past 20 years who has been to Lebanon as visiting professor on two previous occasions, explained, in his lecture and in a private interview with Monday Morning, how he had arrived at his conclusions.\nTHREE CHILD INSTITUTIONS\n“The Creche,” he said, “is an institution for homeless children in Beirut [18]. It operates for the benefit of the foundlings—that is, children brought to the Creche shortly after birth because they are illegitimate or because of the death of the mother. Sometimes, however, other unfortunate children are admitted on a temporary basis. These are known as ‘dependents’, and they generally remain in the legal custody of their parents [19]. The foundlings, on the other hand, become legal wards of the Roman Catholic order which runs the institution—the sisters of St. Vincent de Paul.\n“Foundlings remain in the Creche until about age six, and then they are transferred to one of two institutions for older children. The girls go to an institution called Zouk, near the village of Zouk, and the boys to the Broummana institution, in the village of Broummana. These institutions care for the girls until the age of 16 and for the boys until the age of 14—and sometimes beyond.\n“In 1956, adoption was legalized in Lebanon [20], and the adoption of children from the Creche enabled us to study many of the adopted foundlings after they had lived for varying periods of time in adoptive families. We were thus in the unusual position of being able to compare the effects of institutional and parental care of children who had shared an early environment.”\nIQ AT THE CRECHE\nThe results of the comparison were not attractive. It was found that in the Creche, the foundlings were normal in behavior in their first two months, but then behavioral development became retarded soon after that. By age one, the children were found to have a mean behavioral quotient (IQ) of 50 (see table 1), which they retained as long as they remained in the Creche.\nThis retardation, he observed, was probably due to the limited experience these foundlings were exposed to in the Creche. “Babies lay on their backs in their cribs throughout the first year and often for much of the second year (no foundling under one year of age could sit alone or creep or scoot; at two years of age, many could not walk). As a result, the motor development of the children was retarded and their late acquisition of locomotion limited their ability to explore their environment. But even when they could locomote, there was little to explore in an empty room within four walls.” [21]\nIQ IN BROUMMANA, SOUK\nThe children’s IQ, however, was found to develop significantly after they were transferred from the Creche to Zouk or Broummana [22], depending on their sex. At age 16, the girls in the Zouk institution and the boys in the Broummana institution had developed appreciably higher IQs, with the girls’ average IQ going just above 50 and the boys just above 80. (see tables II and III)\n“This difference,” Dennis said, “stems from the contrast in cognitive experience offered by these institutions. And so far as we can determine, those levels of intelligence were permanent, that is, the educational and occupational history and social adjustment of the foundlings who were studied after the age 16 were consonant with their institutional backgrounds and their measured abilities.”\nThe development of the IQ of children institutionalized at the Creche, Zouk, and Broummana, then, seems to follow the following pattern: retardation at the Creche and significant improvement at the Zouk and Broummana institutions.\nThe improvement, however, is not enough, as Dennis found out when he compared the development of these institutionalized children with the development of children from the Creche within their first two years there. [22]\nIQ OF ADOPTED CHILDREN\n“Because of the legalization of adoption,” he explained, “we were able, as I mentioned before, to determine the effects of still another environment: that of Creche foundlings who were adopted within the first two years of life. These adopted foundlings improved rapidly in behavior, by age four, or even earlier, attained a mean IQ of approximately 100. This proved, first, that they were not genetically defective and, second, that the environmental retardation which occurred in the first two years was remediable through adoptive home care.\n“The test scores of foundlings adopted from the Creche after they were two years of age did increase beyond the mean score of 50 which they had on adoption, but these children retained the absolute deficiency in mental age which they had when they left the Creche.\n“I’ll give you an example:\n“The mean IQ of six-year-old children at the Creche was 50. That means that they were retarded by around three years. When these children were adopted, and when they were tested several years after adoption (eve at age 15 or after), it was found that the mean retardation they had at the time of adoption was still present. That is, foundlings who were adopted from the Creche at age six, and who as a group were retarded by three when they were adopted, were still retarded by three years at age 15. Their mental age at age six was three (IQ 50), their mental age at 15 was 12 (IQ 80). While their intelligence improved by adoption, their retardation at the time of their adoption left a permanent impairment.” (see table IV)\nAFTER THE ORPHANAGE\nWhat happens to a girl in the Zouk Institution after age 16?\n“A long period of institutionalization from birth to age 16 has a profound effect not only on the intelligence scale but also on the whole life of the individual. The education of most of the girls is extremely limited. With such limited education, along with limited experience outside the institution, it appears that most of these girls continue to work in an institutional setting (they will probably remain in Zouk to take care of other foundlings, and the vicious circle is perpetuated). Few can advance beyond the level of unskilled labor.” [24]\nWhat about the boys who reach age 14 in the Broummana institution?\n“The boys in Broummana have more facilities than their female counterparts—for games, education (they are encouraged to go as far as they could in school, taught that they had to find a place in the world one way or another), reading, and many other forms of recreation and interaction with the outside world. Of the boys, none seem to remain at Broummana. All of them look for jobs outside.”\nTHE “GOOD” ORPHANAGE\nDennis pointed out that he had visited a number of child institutions other than the three he was reporting on in detail and his conclusion, based on his observations, is that it is possible for an institution to be “good”—when the environment offered by the institution is not harmful to cognitive growth and personality development; that an institution can be as favorable for mental development as adoptive families are; but that this is seldom the case. [25]\nOne child institution in Lebanon which was singled out as an example of the “good” institution during Child Liberation Week was the S.O.S. Village, near Bekfaya. BUC students Mona Younes and Karen Fetterolf, coordinators of the Child Liberation Project, explained:\n“S.O.S. has come up with a positive solution to the problem. Their success in looking to the vital needs of their children far exceeds that of any other institution for orphans in Lebanon. Located in Bhersaf, near Bekfaya, the “S.O.S. Group Home Village” is one of 50 such “villages” in 50 different countries belonging to an international non-profit organization that carries the same name. The pattern of Lebanon’s S.O.S. Village is as follows: There are 10 “home units” in the village, in each of which eight to 10 children live with a “mother”—a trained woman who acts as their mother. The foundlings are not segregated into age groups or prevented from interaction with other foundlings. Moreover, they go to the public school of Bekfaya, and mix with the other students there, who come from various backgrounds. We can be sure there is hope for these institutionalized children? But what about the many others in Lebanon?” [26]\nADOPTION\nIt was generally agreed that adoption was the solution par excellence to the problem of institutionalized children, but it was also agreed that the adoption laws in Lebanon must be reconsidered and amended to make it easier for childless and other families to adopt children. [27]\nA quick glance at the adoption laws of Lebanon explains why it was thought they should be overhauled:\n- The adoption law of the Orthodox Church says that:\n- The adoptive parents must present a formal request for the approval of the religious court.\n- The adoptive parents must be either relatives or at least 18 years older than the child to be adopted.\n- The adoptive parents must have a good reputation.\n- If the adoptee is an adult, his consent is required.\n- The adoptive parents must be childless and infertile.\nThe adoptive law of the Catholic Church provides that:\n- The adoptive parents should be childless\n- The adoptive parents should be over 40 years old.\n- The adoptive parents should be at least 18 years older than the child to be adopted.\n- The adoptive parents must be Catholic to adopt a Catholic child.\nThe Islamic attitude [28] toward adoption is perhaps best summarized by a quotation from The Rights of the Child in Lebanese Law [29], by Mustapha Karkadan [30], which translates as follows:\n“There is no doubt that it is generally difficult to provide a family name to a child who has no identity, but it is not impossible. It Islamically possible for such a child to be recognized by another person, so that he will share with that person’s legitimate children identical privileges and obligation in such matters as name and inheritance. The only condition is that the age difference between the adopted child and the adopting parent be such as to make the birth of such a child to such a parent possible.”\nNEED FOR FAMILY, RURAL HELP\nFor the problem of children brought to orphanages because their families cannot take proper care of them for financial or other reasons, three possible solutions were presented during Child Liberation Week. Mrs. Zahia Salman [31], director of the Mother and Child Care Society in Beirut, talked about two of them in a panel discussion on Wednesday: family services and rural development.\n“I feel,” she said, “that every child should be kept within his own family and not be institutionalized except in exceptional circumstances—the loss of all family members. To keep the child within the family, there should be, first, family services (financial assistance to the family, social assistance from government-support agencies). This cannot take place unless both government and private groups play major roles.\n“The second thing that should be done is work toward controlling the migration of people from villages to cities. [32] This can be done by creating clinics, public schools, children’s playgrounds, employment opportunities in the rural areas. Some of Lebanon’s municipalities are well-financed and able to improve the conditions of Lebanese villages. Women in these villages who are divorced or widowed, can, if conditions are improved, work in their own villages and not feel that their children are burdens that they must rid themselves of if they are to survive.” [33]\nFOSTER PARENTS\nThe third solution presented was foster care—described in the five-day exhibition as “a child welfare service which provides substitute family care for a planned period, when a child’s family is unable to take care of him for a temporary or extended period and when adoption is either undesirable or impossible.”\nFoster care is almost completely unknown in Lebanon [34]—but not quite. Alex Khalaf, actor and owner of the “Icone” gallery, has, for instance, become a sort of foster father to an 18-month old baby girl.\nIn an interview with Monday Morning, Khalaf said, “I have adopted my servant’s daughter [35], although ‘adopted’ is not the word for it. More precisely, I am giving her moral, educational and financial support. My role is one of a foster parent. The baby is now 18 months and she lives with me. The rigid adoption laws here do not allow me to adopt her officially, so I have, in effect, adopted her and her family unofficially. It is a marvelous feeling to know that you have prevented at least one child from entering an orphanage and protected her from the harsh and degrading conditions of orphanages. I wish more people could be aware of the importance of foster care. It is a civic duty for all those who can afford it.” [36]\nTHE DEFENSE\nThe general tone so far has been one of general condemnation of child institutions operating in Lebanon. But for every prosecution there must be a defense, and the Child Liberation Week gave the defense a chance to speak during the Wednesday panel.\nMohammed Barakat [37], director of the Social Care Institutions in Lebanon (the Moslem Orphanage Society), dismissed the information presented during the Week as “unscientific”. The students, he said, were basing themselves on purely personal observations. “Your position is one of personal attitude rather than scientific opinion,” he said, “and I would like to point out five major errors you have made.”\nFirst error: “Your symposium is not based on scientific fact. What figures you have are, at their most recent, five years old.”\nSecond error: “Everything that has been said or presented is an exaggeration which makes one feel that the institutions themselves are the social problem. You have made it seem as if institutions take children and turn them into orphans or delinquents. The truth is that the institutions treat the consequences of the real social problem. [38] The institutions help the children overcome their misery. We have 70 institutions with 200 infant foundlings, 2,400 orphans, 2,000 social cases—a total of 4,600 children who are being taken care of by us.”\nThird error: “You stated that the Social Development Office provides such institutions with financial aid. I will tell you how much they help. They have a budget of L.L. 20 million, of which they give us L.L. 2,400,000. The rest goes to other projects.”\nFourth error: “You said that the institutions are the cause of the social and education retardation of the children. The contrary is true. We receive children who are socially and intellectually retarded and we help them overcome their retardation. We have 2,000 students in public schools and 2,600 students who were rejected by public schools because their mental age is lower than their chronological age. No one would give these 2,600 any education if we were not available.”\nFifth error: “You have assumed that all our children are socially and educationally retarded, and I would challenge that assumption with facts and figures. In 1971, 60 percent of the nursing school graduates were our children. Four of our children have come out first in a children’s contest. Our institutions, you seen, are not slaughterhouses.” [39]\nEVALUATING “THE WEEK”\nBarakat added, “Your major error was in naming your Week ‘Child Liberation Week’. To liberate the child in Lebanon, you should have concentrated not on the child institutions but on free education, medical security for the poor, the slum problem, and the inadequacy of our laws. These are the problems which you should have brought to the attention of the public.\n“As it is, your ‘Child Liberation Week’ may result in parents asking for their children back and in public opinion turning against us to such an extent that people will no longer provide us with financial support, so that the conditions of our children will become worse.” [40]\nThe general feeling, however, was that the Child Liberation Week was directed at enlightening public opinion, which is not likely to scrap the child institutions before making sure that a better alternative has been provided.\nThe “Week” has accomplished one thing: it has directed public attention to a problem which is in urgent need of nation-wide consideration and one whose solution requires the immediate concerted efforts of the Lebanese government and the Lebanese people. [41]\nLetter in reply\nDear Sirs:\nI would like to comment on the article published in your magazine on the 20th of last January, on the Orphanages in Lebanon, reporting the panel discussion held at BUC on the occasion of “Child Liberation Week”.\nParts of that debate were a direct and unjust attack against the Orphanages, specially [sic] against the “Creche St. de Paul” [sic]. Panelist Wayne Dennis seems to hold this institution responsible for the retardation of these foundlings, when he says: “It was found that in the Creche the foundlings were normal (?) in behavior in their first two months, but their behavioral development became retarded soon after that (Cfr. Vol. IV, No. 136, P. 13). Allow me, sirs, to state that this alleged finding is not exact, for the following reasons:\n- Most of these children are handicapped and retarded from birth, owing to the fact that their mothers, after conception and before delivery, try by all means to get rid of the baby, absorbing a quantity of all kinds of pills and other medicines, which effect the child’s mental and physical constitution. In fact, the Creche had and still has some deformed children. Therefore, the deficiency does not come from the institution. [42]\n- The Creche is doing its utmost to help these foundlings and to overcome their retardation by qualified nuns and specialized nurses.\n- Most of these children are adopted by Lebanese families and other people from abroad—even the deformed ones; as there are good and charitable souls, mainly French families, who adopt these handicapped children, with a view to curing and taking care of them. [43] Thus the problem [44] is not as acute as the panelist describes it in your article.\n- The adoption law is becoming more flexible in its application in order to meet the actual circumstances and the new conceptions now prevailing in our world. [45]\nRev. Ibrahim Ayad\nPresident of the Latin Ecclesiastical Tribunal\nArticle Notes Overview\nThe following notes came to mind when I first read this article, and I’ve expanded on them here. I am attempting to elaborate on a concept I’ve stressed recently in my writing, which is adoption as a means of destroying the “progeny of the enemy”. Most notably, we see this in fascist societies. Historically, Spain, Chile, and Argentina have revived attention to this crime in terms of their modern-day resistance against it, and the search for children so disappeared and lost. This is less obvious in places like Germany and Italy. In the former, this is likely due to the economic prominence of the countries involved and the perceived race–similar nature of the children adopted to and from other Scandinavian countries during its Lebensborn program and after World War II. In the latter, this is likely due to internal familial/kinship adoption practices (children taking on father-in-law’s or grandfather’s names) in the typical fascist practice of bolstering the population.\nThe fascist undercurrent to Lebanese politics is less evident. As adoptees from Lebanon acculturated in North America and Europe, we have attained the “Lebanese dream”, and thus are not allowed a discourse of “displacement”. This is shared by many American domestic adoptees, whose original families were newly “white” in the shifting perception of Anglo-Saxon dominance in the United States. Lebanon sadly also shares a predominant national and nationalist myth, derived from European fascists, which seeks to set a local elite as wholly separate from the hostile “barbarians” who surround it. I am not denying that other groups also engaged locally in fascistic practices, such as targeting rival factions and parties for elimination. However this did not fall under a similar category of racial or ethnic cleansing that carries forward to this day. Furthermore, their overarching sectarian or ideological makeup did not preclude revolutionary fervor or praxis; likewise their class makeup did not afford them an upper hand in terms of power differential.\nThe economic and political nature of the discussion necessary to parse this article is beyond the simple scope of this blog post. However, I think it is important for us as adoptees—displaced, dispossessed, and disinherited—to understand the context of this removal from our source. It is also, sadly, required of us to understand the role of our adoptive cultures in the instability in this region historically speaking. To maintain a class or cultural allegiance to those responsible for the crime of our adoption is to be complicit in our own absenting; it is to participate in the attempted annihilation of our progenitors. This active destruction is a function of a colonizing mindset; this naturally leads to the acknowledgment of the adoptee as a colonized entity sourced from a colonized place.\nIn this regard, I often refer to Frantz Fanon, who, in The Wretched of the Earth, compares the colonized native who was the focus of his seminal study to an adopted child. In this comparison, the adopted child/colonized native acquiesces to her situation once a modicum of security is found in her new environment:\nThe intellectual who is Arab and French, or Nigerian and English, when he comes up against the need to take on two nationalities, chooses, if he wants to remain true to himself, the negation of one of these determinations. But most often, since they cannot or will not make a choice, such intellectuals gather together all the historical determining factors which have conditioned them and take up a fundamentally “universal standpoint”.. [emphasis mine]\nThis quotation is intriguing on a variety of levels, and is deserving of great expansion. It speaks of identity, of belonging, and sense of self. It implicates colonial projects in the false elaboration of such a self, contradictory to original source. It points to nation-states as conferring such a status of identity upon an individual, and the agency of accepting this or not. It elaborates a “false universal” which is belied by local reality. It evokes identity that is obtained via study or acculturation, as opposed to that of birth or assimilation.\nThe book, written in the year of my birth and adoption, is also striking for the fact that it speaks of adoption in the negative, at a time when the practice was just moving into its mythologized phase of “family creation”. The elliptical reference to adoption encapsulates much that is pertinent for adoptees attempting a return to their source, but also serves as a reference and metaphor for anyone disconnected from place. These sources readily map onto colonized spaces, and these spaces manifest a variety of other practices that serve similar ends: slavery, gentrification, immigration, land occupation, apartheid, enforced statelessness, etc.\nFanon’s work references those who are equally “distanced” from belonging to this nation-state that is their source. During the Mexican Revolution, these were referred to as “los de abajo”. The Qur’an refers explicitly to the “mustad’afiin” and the “mustakbiriin”. More recently, the Occupy Movements spoke of the “one percent” versus the “99 percent.” In Lebanon, these “wretched” might include refugees, migrant workers, slave laborers, bedouin; those gentrified, migrated, or displaced; as well as those living in disputed territories occupied by foreign powers.\nThe adoptee often finds herself faced with the reality of being of this source as well, far removed from those she might identify with purely in terms of class acculturation, education, or employment. In this light, the adoptee walks a razor’s edge between acculturation and source. The notions of citizenship, belonging, kinship, and identity are radically altered once the adoptee realizes that she is displaced, dispossessed, and disinherited along similar economic and political lines.\nThe adoptee is thus placed in a particularly contradictory position. Ascribed a “citizenship” in order to provide for his exit from his source country, he is hard-pressed to re-establish this fundamental connection once returned. Assumed to possess the full embodiment of citizenship in their place of naturalization, this assumption is often called into question given current questioning of definitions of “citizen” and “belonging”. For example, American adoptees who fall afoul of the law are finding themselves slated for deportation to places they have never been except for a brief period after birth, to languages they don’t speak, and cultures they don’t recognize.\nWhat follows are notes for the above article. In this parsing, I wish to tie national and international economic and political interests together in such a way that our adoptions become a function of these machinations, above and beyond their presentation as narratives of family building; or personal paths, journeys, or trajectories. Those directly responsible—local adopting agents along with their diaspora-based middlemen—are not charitable in their actions or deeds. Our adoptive parents, brought to this region via foreign employment, sectarian mythologies, or desperation to adopt, are functioning according to the needs and whims of their own nation-states and acculturations. The cheerleaders of adoption as found in this article reflect a deep-seated reactionary politic that has nothing to do with “saving children”. As always, those absent from the vocalization of such stories and narratives—ourselves, our mothers, parents, families, and communities—need be given a “right of reply”. I intend this overview to be one such reply on their behalf.\nArticle Notes\n[1]\nThis statement right from the start reveals the “unspoken” of this article, and the context of its appearance. The “liberation” alluded to is a scare tactic for the bourgeois parents of these students. It is a direct reference to the then National Liberation Movement, a grouping of leftist and secular nationalists seeking a reform of the Lebanese sectarian infrastructure. The group formed in 1973 after the Israeli assassination of Palestinian leaders within Lebanese territory and despite the presence of local security forces. The backdrop to this was the Palestinian presence in Lebanon, along with the rise of national liberation movements in former colonized nation-states globally speaking.\nThe local reactionary response to this was primarily focused in the Kata’eb (Phalange, named after the Spanish fascists) Party, which sought to maintain its power in the country, to remain neutral in the case of Israel, and to elaborate a clear distinction between what were mythological Phoenician roots of their presence in Lebanon, compared and contrasted to foreign interlopers and arrivistes. They were supported in this mythology and statecraft by the United States, Britain, and France, as witnessed in the 1958 occupation of the country by U.S. Marines. Notably, this resulted in the attempted coup against president Chamoun, as well as the Battle of the Mountains. A side note: adoption started “legally” in Lebanon in 1956, at the behest of local French missionaries.\nFor further background of this context, as well as a more nuanced critique of local politics, I recommend Fawwaz Traboulsi’s A History of Modern Lebanon (London: Pluto Press, 2007); Tabitha Petran’s The Struggle Over Lebanon (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1987); As’ad AbuKhalil’s “Druze, Sunni and Shiite Political Leadership in Present-Day Lebanon” (Arab Studies Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 4, (Fall 1985), pp. 28-58, Pluto Journals); as well as the Masters thesis of Nate George, “United States Imperialism in the Middle East and The Lebanese Crisis Of 1973” (Beirut: American University of Beirut, 2010). Disclaimer: I was co-advisor for this thesis paper. Most notable is its use of recently declassified documents by the U.S. State Department, revealing not a passive American role in local events, but clearly a more “heavy hand” and “big stick” approach. This article predates the official “start” of the Civil War by only three months.\nFor further reading on local and global contexts for thinking about notions of race, nation, class, and identity and their relation to economic and political realities, I recommend the following texts: Etienne Balibar and Immanuel Wallerstein’s Race, Nation, Class: Amgibuous Identities (New York: Verso, 1992); Abdallah Laroui’s The Crisis of the Arab Intellectual: Traditionalism or Historicism (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1976); and Craig Calhoun’s “Nationalism and Ethnicity” (Annual Review of Sociology, Vol. 19, 1993).\n[2]\nWhen we hear phrases like “reportedly unenviable life” we can assign this to the “better off” adoption argument, as in “these children would be better off adopted”. No adopter ever considers that comparatively speaking, there is always a “better off” to what they themselves might provide a child. More to the point, it is a mythology derived from a Calvinist conception of the story of Noah’s Ark, in which some are saved and most are destroyed. See: “What are you grateful for as an adoptee?” [link to article] and “Re-evaluating Adoption: Validating the Local” [link to article].\n[3]\nBUC (Beirut University College) would later be renamed the Lebanese-American University (LAU). Like the American University of Beirut (AUB), it was founded by Protestant American missionaries. Ironically, the language of education in these institutions at first was Arabic, better suited to proselytize to the local population. This gave rise to a stamp of “modern” approval for Arabic, which led to a revived literature and grammar. This interest in the language brought forward anti-Ottoman sentiment, which was to the liking of the missionaries, and a pan-Arab nationalism that was not. To counter the latter, English was later adopted as the language of instruction in both schools. See Yasir Suleiman’s The Arabic Language and National Identity (Wash., D.C., Georgetown University Press, 2003).\nForeign acculturation as such is now another marker within Lebanese identity, such that one is “English-educated” or “French-educated”. Public schools are also moving to foreign-language education; grammar school students in my neighborhood often bring me their math homework, for example, because it is all in English. I often argue with my students that they are crippled due to this regressive approach to language, which replaces the national language with a foreign tongue, as opposed to allowing for coinciding languages (such as in Scandinavia), the use of which is not deleterious to the ability to speak one’s mother tongue. The use of Arabic within domains such as graphic design becomes a self-exoticizing or self-Orientalizing exercise, and those who show a mastery of Arabic to the exclusion of English or French are derided as backward, or overtly religious.\nThis quote is interesting since it comes from a English-language belle-lettrist and Lebanese immigrant to the United States:\nRihani warned that European colonialism used several means to establish itself. Amongst the most invidious were the foreign educational institutions, which he accused of spreading hatred and disunity amongst the people of the same country. He argued that when the Lebanese were the subjects of a state (the Ottomans) which they feared and hated, ‘foreign schools appealed to their fear and charged them a high price’, that is division, and loyalty to the new foreigners. And under the mandate, foreign schools continued their divisive culture. ‘Every foreign school tinted a portion amongst us with its own colour’, he said, ‘so there were the French, the English, the American, the Russian and the Italian, and amongst those thus educated there were no genuine Lebanese or Syrian’. —The Politics and Poetics of Ameen Rihani, Najmeh Hajjar, New York, Taurus Academic Studies, 2010.\n[4]\nThe teaching of Sociology in these institutions should be considered reactionary in and of itself. The study of the “Other”, when applied to oneself, reveals a colonized mentality as defined by Fanon above. One instructor at the AUB in preliminary sociology courses warns veiled women to drop the class, and accuses their “people” of having something “wrong” with them, for just one example that comes to mind. The European and North American theoretical models of study in this regard carry with them further destructive colonizing tropes such as the idea that local practices are primitive or worse, and that the “West” is a beacon of enlightenment in this regard. Studies in local and regional languages are completely ignored.\n[5]\nDr Ghassan Rubeiz formerly worked for the World Council of Churches in the Middle East, and was former Director of the Washington office of the Christian Children’s Fund. The latter is most famous to American television viewers of a certain age for its commercials featuring African children with bloated bellies and swarming with flies as pitches for “sponsorship”. The most famous of these commercials featured American actor Sally Struthers, and they have become the butt of jokes of late-night television comedians as well as lampooning on shows like South Park. See the Chicago Tribune article: “Sometimes I’ve wanted to turn it off too.” (1998) [link to article] He served as an “expert” for the Security Sector Asia Team of EPES Mandala, a consulting firm specializing in what is now referred to as humanitarian imperialism (see Jean Bricmont’s book of the same name). He writes for The Arab Daily News, an American newspaper, in reductive terms that only underpin the reactionary basis for this article from 40 years ago. I think it is fair to say that none of this “charity” or “beneficence” has done anything to bring change to the regions targeted, with children used as unwilling and yet profitable dupes for economic and political warfare.\n[6]\nAbu Melhem was a popular character on Lebanese television at the time. A Beiruti, he sought to solve problems among neighbors, among other plot devices.\n[7]\nQuoting from Encyclopedia of Social Movement Media, edited by John D. H. Downing (London, SAGE Publications, 2011):\nFirst Wave of Rebel Radios: 1958\nLebanon became increasingly polarized by the abundance of conflicting ideologies sweeping the region. The Nasserist and other Arab nationalist movements gained support among Palestinians and leftists. In response, Lebanon’s Christian communities, which were often economically well placed, felt a grave threat to their livelihoods and political influence. The rifts grew larger and soon took a sectarian form. The volatile situation finally erupted in 1958 as combat broke out between a coalition of leftist pro-Palestinian Muslim parties and the Phalangists, which was a Maronite Christian right-wing party.\nRadio Lebanon made many efforts to re-establish national unity and restore calm. But the station remained an exclusive government mouthpiece. The events it reported were tailored to suit the elite’s ideology, and it deliberately overlooked facts damaging to the government. Factions opposing the regime could not broadcast their viewpoints. Their only resort was to use alternative measures. Combat on the streets was soon acompanied by a war over the airwaves.\nThis second paragraph pretty much sums up this article as well, in an English-language news magazine catering to the ruling elite of the country. To also note is that the so-called national radio station Radio Liban features programming in English, French, and Armenian, but not in Arabic. A good portion of the daily programming is given over to RFI, France’s international radio station.\n[8]\nMona Younis’s bio can be found at LinkedIn [link to bio]. The neo-liberal basis for many of the organizations listed here has been extensively criticized. See INCITE!’s The revolution will not be funded: Beyond the non-profit industrial complex (Cambridge,\nMass., South End Press, 2007) and Julia Elyachar’s The Markets of Dispossession (Durham, NC; Duke University Press, 2005).\n[9]\nThe phrase “have a responsibility” takes on sinister overtones here. It maintains Calvinist/capitalist distance from “our less-fortunate children” who, nonetheless, are not worthy apparently to keep with “us” here in Lebanon.\n[10]\nThe phrase “the crucial difference between a loved child within a family and the ignored though perhaps well-fed orphan” makes direct reference to the nuclear family as premised within Anglo-Saxon nation-states. Margaret Thatcher most notably stated that there was no such thing as society, just men, women, and family. This right-wing focus on family as representing society is strikingly similar to local Kata’eb (Phalange) Party tenets. This should not surprise us; they both stem from European/Anglo-American fascist sources. This is the individualistic vs. communal mindset writ large. See Jane Pilcher and Steven Wagg’s Thatcher’s Children?: Politics, Childhood And Society In The 1980s And 1990s (Falmer Press, London, 1996).\n[11]\nAny help in tracking down this film made by Tim Ledger is greatly appreciated.\n[12]\nThe reference to “rigid adoption laws” should give us great pause. This is the phrase that is used before a country is opened up to wholesale adoption of its children, most recently against Muslim-majority countries. See my: “Islamophobia and adoption: Who are the civilized?” (London, Maney Publishing, 2015) [link to article].\n[13]\nWayne Dennis, before coming to Lebanon, studied…feral children. In his later studies, local children (categorized as “Arab”, “Armenian”, “Jewish”) are seemingly a step-up from these wild infants so far removed from the civilization he represents. His experiments on these children used to test “I.Q.” included drawing, based on a universalist concept of perception. The failure of Lebanese children in this regard is based, he ridiculously posits, on the lack of imagery available to Arab/Muslim youth, since Islam formerly proscribed such representation. Here we see sociology as a reactionary tool to “prove” prevailing beliefs. This is especially evident given the inability of Mr. Dennis to speak local languages, and his likely not venturing outside of particular class circles. This lack of focus on class disparity is a further fundamental failure of this article. See his “Performance of near Eastern Children on the Draw-a-Man Test”; “A Cross-Cultural Study of the Reinforcement of Child Behavior”; “A Further Analysis of Reports of Wild Children”; and with Yvonne Sayegh “The Effect of Supplementary Experiences upon the Behavioral Development of Infants in Institutions”.\n[14]\nDr. Bassam Barakat graduated from the AUB, and I believe currently practices in Maryland. I’m curious to know whether it is possible that “The Rights of the Unborn Child” might have pointed to something other than a stance against abortion. It is interesting to see the regressive abortion/adoption argument already in practice at this early date.\n[15]\nReference to a “population explosion” in this context also takes on reactionary overtones, one of here unspecified yet insinuated groups (Shi‘a Muslims, Palestinians) and their “fertility” leading to a tainting if not an over-running of the dominant population. The focus on racial difference is particularly striking, and reminds me of the statement by nuns in my orphanage who told me that “darker babies” like myself went to the U.S., since Europe wanted “white children”:\nLebanon has an Arab tongue and it is Arab in neighbourhood and interest, but the Lebanese are not of the Arab race. We believe in the existence of a Lebanese nationalism that equals Arab nationalism. Our ideological attachment to Lebanese nationalism is the source of our conflict with the Arab nationalists, a conflict that is strictly ideological and has now become Byzantine. We believe that the Lebanese race exists as the other existing races in Europe—we are like the Italian and English races. Ours has the fundamental characteristics that make it equal to the others. —\nDaily Star (Beirut), 2 March 1969; quoted from “Belief-System and Ideology Formation in the Lebanese Kata’ib Party” by John P. Entelis, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Vol. 4, No. 2 (Apr., 1973), pp. 148-162; Cambridge University Press.\nAnd also:\nSince that time, the dominant bourgeoisie—the Maronite community—has diligently nurtured the myth of an eternal historic Lebanese nation. To this end, its historians invented the “myth” of Phoenician origins.…Despite philosophical differences among the various Maronite versions, it is apparent that their historical foundation is the successive attempt to invent ancient pre-Islamic roots for the Lebanese entity and to present the country’s history as that of an ethnic group—a minority community living in the midst of a hostile Islamic environment—which developed a tradition of consistent struggle for independence. According to this narrative, the goal was fully achieved under the aegis of the present state and its confessional system of government. —”Between Authenticity and Alienation: The Druzes and Lebanon’s History” by Yusri Hazran, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London,Vol. 72, No. 3 (2009), pp. 459-487; Cambridge University Press.\nThis noisome belief was behind local interest in the Lebanese Genome Project started locally soon after I arrived in the country. I remember avoiding it, since it was obviously being marketed as a means of showing “untainted” bloodline via DNA and the dubious analysis thereof.\n[16]\nAttacks on traditional orphanages, communal care, foster care, anything outside of the model of a nuclear family, are inherently reactionary.\n[17]\nThe false concern for children becomes clear, since just as many children outside of the orphanage were also cognitively “behind” their peers due to poverty, illiteracy, lack of schools and other resources, as well as child slavery.\n[18]\nThe Creche is my orphanage in Beirut, in Achrafieh. “Crèche” in French means “nursery” or “nativity”.\n[19]\nThis point deserves great expansion. I know of many adoptees who were in the orphanage for many years while their mothers were coerced into signing release papers. Once potential adoptive parents were found, no attempt was made to keep a child with his or her family. Visiting prospective adoptive parents were referred to as “parents-cadeaux; “gift parents”. Other stories include those of children placed in orphanages by Muslim families without a concept of orphanage as “site of egress” or adoption. One French adoptee found her family in South Lebanon. Poor farmers, they placed her in orphanage care while they worked the fields. At season’s end, they were told she had died, when in fact she had been adopted to France.\n[20]\nThe year of legalization of adoption in Lebanon coincides with that of the Netherlands. Protestant and Catholic conversion are at the heart of missionary practice in many source countries.\n[21]\nThe attack here previous to opening up wholesale adoption in Lebanon is the same as found in post–Soviet Union Eastern Europe. This attack notably doesn’t call for social welfare, but can only imagine foreign adoption as the solution. Communist-bloc nations similarly had a “left-wing” problem that needed to be “taken care of”; Ukraine has carried this practice forward, especially in terms of fascist governments backed by the “West”, as well as by organizations such as Reece’s Rainbow. The current conception of “enemy institution” is the Islamic orphanage of Muslim-majority countries with no official inter-country adoption practice.\n[22]\nStudents of mine from Broummana speak of local reactions against Syrian migrant workers and now, Syrian refugees. The fear of foreign interlopers, or children of unknown progeny in the case of this orphanage, drives a violent impulse which is only masked by adopting such children out of the country. The boys orphanage still exists in Broummana; it is the recipient of aid from the United States [link to article].\n[23]\nIt is laughable to speak of I.Q.s in such a context.\n[24]\nIt is equally hypocritical to have students from the BUC—a private, foreign-language, elite institution—complaining about the education of children in the country.\n[25]\nMany orphanages, such as those of Sayyed Mohammad Fadlallah, started up in part as a response to children disappearing from their communities.\n[26]\nTo note here is that for all intents and purposes, this is the Christian version of the Muslim traditional orphanage, as founded and promoted by a European, and as a solution to the “orphan” problem after World War II. As such, given the sectarian bias and reactionary stance of this article, it would make sense that it should be praised instead of condemned.\n[27]\nThis should probably have been the first paragraph, or even the name of the sociology class. It would have saved everyone a lot of work and effort. The question remains: What was it about the 1956 law that was not amenable to what was being advocated in these symposia?\n[28]\nNote that where the Christians have “laws”, the Muslims have “attitudes”. To know is that every sect in Lebanon provides its own personal status laws via ecclesiastic, Judaic, or Islamic courts.\n[29]\nIt is intriguing to note that the work cited here speaks of the child as a subject, with agency, and not as an object of transference or study.\n[30]\nI would appreciate information on Mustapha Karkadan and this work.\n[31]\nMrs. Zahia Salman was an advocate for children and orphans, but with differing methods that are not given credit in this article. [Link to article on Mrs. Salman].\n[32]\nThe call to keep people from migrating from the agricultural regions of Lebanon is in response to reactionary efforts to remove them from said lands:\nPursuing the objectives of the third congress, in January 1974, after two years of meetings with farmers and agricultural workers throughout Lebanon, The LCP issued a blueprint of its proposals for agrarian reform. The party identified the main tendency in the development of Lebanese agriculture under capitalism to be the centralization of power in the hands of big landowners, local comprador capitalists and foreign monopolies. Centralization occurred at the expense of small peasants and destitute agriculture workers, whose numbers rose from 20,000 in 1950 to more than 60,000 in 1970. Their already precarious existence was being ruthlessly and inexorably squeezed. While small peasants possessed some land, the proposal argued that it was not enough to ensure their livelihood; they were compelled to work seasonally on the large semi-feudal holdings to eke out their existence.…The big landowners “constitute the most reactionary and parasitic group among the groups exploiting the countryside and are a major reactionary force in Lebanon cooperating with imperialists and Arab reactionaries against the national movement, progressive forces, and every democratic development.” —The Communist Movement in Syria and Lebanon, Tareq Y. Ismael and Jacqueline S. Ismael, The University Press of Florida, 1998.\n[33]\nAgain, we see a philosophical difference here between the individualistic and the communal view; between the inclusive and the exclusive view. This raises the question: An adoptive parent in a foreign country who sees themselves as a saving agent for a child from a source country is one thing; but what do we make of those in the source country who maintain the solution is this same expulsion of these very children?\n[34]\nIt is disturbing that a sociology class would not be studying informal kinship practice locally speaking.\n[35]\nNo one questions the slavery evoked here. In a supreme irony, the Arabic word for such guardianship (kafala) is also used for indenturing a “servant”. The servant class at the time was mostly impoverished and marginalized Shi‘a, Palestinian, Kurd, etc. It would be the 1975 outbreak of civil war that would prompt the complete move to non-Arab slave labor in this regard. Most offensive here is perhaps the shift of agency to the slave owner, when historically speaking the domestic laborer living in a “master’s” house claimed for herself and for her children rights of patronage and fictive kinship. This was a “common law” practice that is being formalized here as “foster care”. See Ray Jureidini’s “In the Shadows of Family Life: Toward a History of Domestic Service in Lebanon”, Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies, Vol. 5, No. 3, Fall 2009 [link to article]. It would be interesting to map the displacement of women for domestic service with that of their children, communally speaking. The most offensive trope in this category is found among such groups as the Kuwaiti Women Who Do Lunch, who have adopted the children of the illicit liaisons between their husbands and their slaves in a towering escalation of disempowerment. Perhaps this adopter should be given a paternity test.\n[36]\nThese do not seem likely to be his words. Note the repetition of “rigid adoption laws”.\n[37]\nEmphasis mine.\n[38]\nMohammed Barakat is to this day director of the Muslim Orphanage Society. Certain Islamic orphanages deserve a similar critique for also brokering and trafficking children to bourgeois Muslim families; for attacking minority communities via adoption (Berbers in Morocco; Shi‘a Muslims in Saudi Arabia) for ignoring abuse that occurs under their auspices; for using “orphans” as marketing props during religious-holiday fundraising drives. At work are power differentials, and a dismissal of the powerless.\n[39]\n“Our institutions, you see, are not slaughterhouses.” I’m disturbed greatly by this statement. I can imagine three scenarios for its origin: First, there was at the time a belief among reactionary forces in the country that Islamic orphanages were “slaughterhouses”. Second, that this, a statement made on the offensive, retorted instead that it was the Christian orphanages which were “slaughterhouses”. Third, a projection of one onto the other; a mix of both. One of the most painful memories I have of my orphanage is the notebooks of arrival that list the children brought to the orphanage for whatever reason. In red calligraphic French over many of these entries is the single word: “décedé(e)”—”deceased”. I once told a fellow adoptee about this, and she told me to look up the “Butterbox Babies” in Nova Scotia. Since then, the mass graves of Tuam, Ireland have also in fact revealed what can only be seen as the orphanage as site of euthanasia [link to article at Transracial Eyes].\n[40]\nThis would be an allusion to zakat, or the practice of Islamic tithing.\n[41]\nTo note first and foremost is that defining this as a “defense” automatically categorizes a “prosecution” if you will, or de facto defender of the State. That there is no reply as might be found in a true dialectic or even discussion reveals the elite nature of the reading audience. The provision of these “defensive” statements is thus not to listen to or acknowledge them, but to easily categorize the speakers along class and sectarian lines and then dismiss them. They are the “whiny liberals” or “leftists” of, say, Fox News, or CNN. Finally, it is disturbing that “the Lebanese people” reference here does not seem to include children destined to become not Lebanese people via adoption.\n[42]\nThis shift of blame is common in adoption discourse. These bizarre statements concerning our mothers are unforgivable, and only drive home the class-based disdain for our origins. A nun at my orphanage once said to me that “I needed to think of my…” at which point I thought she was going to say “mother”. In expecting the word mother to come out of her mouth I was grateful for at the very least an empathy as a woman with the women whose children passed through the orphanage’s halls. Instead she said: “Think of your father; he might be a famous businessman in North America, whose reputation is at stake.”\n[43]\nThe notion of purity of bloodline and eugenics within fascistic mindsets is at play here, such that the handicapped are to be disposed of. Most heartbreaking to me are stories from handicapped adoptees, and their treatment by not only the orphanage and the church, but by their families upon return.\n[44]\nThe “problem” has been shifted in the short-term, and therefore no longer exists.\n[45]\n“New conceptions now prevailing in our world”: Of course he is alluding to the “modern” and “progressive” idea that adoption has taken on. But it does make a bad play on words.\nThe concept of a “problem” brings us to the notion of “solution” of course, except we might understand it unfortunately in the fascist concept of the term: “final solution”. I think it would be useful to include the full text of a telegram from the American Embassy to the U.S> Secretary of State in December, 1977, which speaks of the “Palestinian problem” and possible “solutions”:\nFM AMEMBASSY BEIRUT\nTO SECSTATE WASHDC 6205\nINFO\nAMEMBASSY AMMAN\nAMEMBASSY CAIRO\nAMEMBASSY DAMASCUS\nAMEMBASSY JIDDA\nAMEMBASSY KUWAIT\nAMEMBASSY TEL AVIV\nUSMISSION USUN NEW YORK\nC O N F I D E N T I A L SECTION 1 OF 2 BEIRUT 6383\n1. Summary: The heart of the “Lebanese problem” is size and nature of Palestinian presence in Lebanon. Conventional wisdom holds that if and when a Palestinian entity is created, Lebanon’s Palestinian problem will disappear, but this is unlikely to happen. Following message describes Lebanon’s Palestinian problem and discusses possible solutions. End summary.\n2. Nature of problem. Lebanon’s Palestinian problem has three aspects—demographic, military, and ethnic.\nA. Demographic. No one knows exactly how many Palestinians there are in Lebanon, but an educated guess is at least 400,000 (fatah says 550,000; president Sarkis says 600,000). Robert Prevot, UNRWA director for Lebanon, estimates there are now about 200,000 Palestinians registered with his organization, of whom about 40,000, or 20 percent, have Lebanese nationality which they have acquired in the course of the last 30 years or which they held before leaving Palestine (president Sarkis says figure is closer to 10,000). In addition to these refugees, it is generally agreed that there are at least another 200,000 Palestinians who have entered country illegally, most of them after 1967. This total of 400,000 out of a total population in Lebanon of not more than three million presents a tremendous social and political problem for Lebanese body politic.\nB. Military. Palestinian presence is complicated by the fact that Palestinians are not just refugees but include a well-organized, well-financed and effective military force. After “Black September” in Jordan in 1970, bulk of Palestinian fighters moved to Lebanon. It was these Palestinians, augmented by Palestinian units from other Arab countries, who did most of the fighting on the Moslem/leftist side during the 1975/76 Lebanese war and who are in control of large areas of Lebanon south of the Litani [River]. By contrast, the Lebanese army disintegrated during the war and has only just begun to rebuild itself.\nC. Ethnic. Unlike most nations, Lebanon has no majority group which shares a common religion or cultural heritage; rather, it is a compilation of different minority communities who occupy an artificial political entity [emphasis mine]. The one thing they have in common is that they and their ancestors have lived in this part of the world for hundreds of years and that many of them hate each other with passion. For Christian Lebanese, the Palestinian is an alien. He is a “Palestinian” regardless of whether he may carry a Lebanese passport, even if he is Christian. As the Lebanese Christians are fond of asking us, how would you Americans feel if there were 30 million South Americans in the United States who had their own armed militia, stronger than the US army, and who occupied Texas, New Mexico and Arizona?\n3. Possible solutions. Theoretically, there are three ways in which Lebanon can try to deal with the problem:\nA. Assimilation. Under a formula that has been mentioned by Israeli prime minister Begin, Lebanon would be called upon to assimilate all the Palestinians currently living in the country. (Begin’s mention of this is one reason Lebanese are so worked up about problem today.) Although moderate Maronites are prepared to absorb about 10 percent of the Palestinians, i.e., those who already have Lebanese passports, total assimilation is anathema to all of Lebanon’s Christians and would probably be opposed by a majority of the country’s non-Christian population as well. If it appeared that Lebanon was going to be forced to integrate all the Palestinians currently resident in the country, we would expect the country’s Maronite population to take up arms and to form their own state in Mt. Lebanon rather than agree.\nB. Co-existence. Under this solution, the Palestinians now in Lebanon would remain here but they would not acquire Lebanese nationality. This would probably be tolerated as an interim solution by some Christians as well as Moslems, particularly if an expanding economy increased the usefulness of these people, but the Maronites probably would not accept it because they would see it as simply postponing a decision which gets more difficult daily, given the Palestinian fertility rate.\nC. Expulsion. The expulsion, peaceful or otherwise, of all Palestinians now in Lebanon, including those who have acquired Lebanese nationality by irregular means during the past few years, is the solution preferred by the majority of the Christian population, particularly the Maronites. However, many Moslems, and some Christians, would probably oppose this—some because they honestly believe that Lebanon is an Arab country and has an obligation to the Palestinian cause and the refugees, and some because they want to use the predominantly Moslem Palestinian population as a makeweight in their domestic political competition with the Maronite hardliners, as they have done in the past. Expulsion, however, is impracticable and is therefore not a realistic solution. The government of Lebanon does not have the power to expel the Palestinians, no other country will do it for them, and at the moment at least the Palestinians have no other place where they can or will go.\nD. As a practical matter, the most likely solution to the problem is a combination of all three; that is, those Palestinians who have acquired Lebanese nationality will be integrated into the Lebanese body politic, and of the remainder, some will stay on perhaps indefinitely in a quasi-refugee status and others will be either persuaded or compelled to leave, depending on the evolution of the overall Middle East situation.\n4. The impact of a Palestinian entity.\nA. The creation of a Palestinian entity as part of a comprehensive Middle East peace settlement would help to alleviate the problem, if it had the authority to issue passports to all Palestinians everywhere; thus Palestinians resident in Lebanon would have a legal nationality and might be less interested in trying to get Lebanese citizenship. On the other hand, even if such an entity existed and could issue passports to all Palestinians, only a small percentage of Lebanon’s Palestinians would want to leave. A great many of them come not from the West Bank but from what is now Israel itself. A West Bank entity would not attract them. In addition, many of them have been in Lebanon for 30 years and they and their children have put down roots here; they are more at home in Lebanon than they would be anywhere in Palestine. Finally, whether or not there is a comprehensive settlement, the other arab countries are unlikely to open their doors to substantial numbers of Lebanon’s Palestinians. Jordan has all it can handle. Syria perhaps could absorb more but is unwilling to do so, according to Fonmin Boutros. The Gulf states do not really consider the Palestinians to be their “brother Arabs” and the Palestinians certainly look down on their less well-educated neighbors. Libya’s well-known xenophobia makes it an unlikely candidate.\nB. Even from a military point of view, a comprehensive Middle East peace settlement may not solve Lebanon’s problem completely. The creation of a Palestinian entity would presumably mean that the bulk of the Palestinian guerrillas would lay down their arms and, perhaps more importantly, that most Arab countries would cease to finance their military and terrorist activities. It is hard to imagine, however, a settlement that would satisfy the more extremist Palestinian groups, such as the PFLP or Qadhafi. These groups may chose to fight on, at least for a little while, even if a Palestinian homeland is created. Since the only territory left to the Palestinian rejectionists is in southern Lebanon, that would be the likeliest place to fight.\n5. Conclusion. If this analysis is correct, Lebanon is going to have a Palestinian problem whether or not there is a comprehensive Middle East peace settlement. GOL is already worried about this and is expressing that concern at highest levels. President Sarkis says problem is responsibility of international community and suggests that perhaps with enough money per head the refugees could be persuaded to emigrate elsewhere in Arab world. He feels international community must put pressure on other Arabs to accept them. We think this is probably a non-starter, but at least it’s an idea. We look forward to discussing it with UNRWA commissioner McElhinney on his return. —signed “Parker”; sourced from the Access to Archival Databases web site [link to telegram].\nConclusion\nLebanon can readily be compared to other source countries of children for adoption, such as South Korea, Viet Nam, Guatemala, Ethiopia, etc. Similarities among these countries include the situation of proxy-driven wars, the establishment of a comprador class beholden to externally defined neo-liberal political and economic policies, large emigrant and diaspora populations, as well as local missionary, political, and economic practices that target particular segments of society. At the same time, adoption as a deleterious and extirpating practice is not seen as one of these, due to its crafted mythology that it is functional only to family creation, and beneficial to all concerned. This willfully ignores those most affected by it: adoptees themselves, their mothers and families, as well as communities and originating places. There has been little critical response from and engagement with those whose agency is denied and voices elided by the industry and practice of adoption.\nGiven the context of its particular juncture in time, this article takes on the more sinister nature of current adoption propaganda that it disturbingly presages. The LNM and the Arab Nationalist Movements of the times were radically altering the concept of citizenship and nation-state. At the same time, national liberation movements and “Third-Worldists” were aligning progressive forces worldwide. The supporters of these movements were known (and targeted) in Lebanon as elsewhere, and the reactionary media/government/elite did everything they could to thwart their efforts. In this light, the civil war, we might argue, started with the founding of the nation and continues to this day. In terms of the article and the above telegram, the ease with which discussion of dispossession, displacement, and disinheritance took place makes us, the 10,000+ of the Lebanese adoptee diaspora, small change in the bigger picture of what the country has experienced before our adoptions and since. At the same time, it puts us in a category of those affected by these practices, and this whether we identify in such a way or not.\nIt also begs the question: To what extent did the U.S. State Department advocate adoption as a tactic to disperse or expel such “enemy” populations? Further questions likewise demand elucidation and answers: Was American foreign policy in and of itself enough to tilt the scale of local practice along these lines? Was there instead a more diffuse conception of economic and political realities, neo-liberalism and capitalism, along with racism, sectarianism, and warfare that allowed countries such as Lebanon—and here we are reminded of adoption as a function of wars both economic and political—to readily export a large quantity of children without any inkling that they might one day return? What can Lebanese adoptees glean from comparing themselves to the similar victims of previous and current wars? What role did the advocates for our unwilled migration play in criminal adoption practices, and how might they be held accountable? Barring such justice, what do they owe us in terms of clarification or explanation? The parsing of this article deserves much more than the attention I am showing it here. I am interested to hear from anyone with further clarifications or elucidations along these lines.\nMost striking is the dilemma of the adoptee as sublimely posed by Fanon: the false choice of the “universal”—choosing both aspects of her “belonging”. Whereas Fanon stated it in terms of nationalism, I would reframe it in terms of class. The distance from their source that adoptees attempt to lessen via return is, ironically, embraced by a local class and diaspora which express an envy of their “pure” foreign acculturation. It is this class which promoted adoption based on affectation of foreign mores and modes. Thus, the class that an adoptee might identify most with is, in fact, the colonizing one; the extirpator. Furthermore, he has been acculturated to dismiss and show disdain for those who actually are his source in terms of community and family. DNA tests are revealing us to be of the targeted populations listed above; I currently know of as many Palestinians in reunion as Lebanese.\nOur inability to consider such a circumstance reveals the dissonance that lies at the heart of these issues of identity and belonging. Teasing out the reality behind our adoptions does not necessarily resolve this dissonance. It does seem to show an interesting “coming full circle” for those of us born in times of international liberation movements and political conflict in our homeland,as perhaps the progeny of the instigators of those movements. Our pursuit of justice along these lines, in this light, becomes almost an imperative and a given. Such a pursuit may, it can be hoped, serve as a path to psychological and social well-being—for ourselves, our families and communities, as well as the various places to which we belong.\nThe original Adoption is War post I’ve renamed Lebanon 2015: Adoption is War I. It also speaks of reactionary adoption propaganda in the present day and age. That nothing much has changed in all this time should give us great pause.\nLink to this article:\nSee: Alleged forced adoption: Sydney mother Lynda Yarnold sues St Vincent de Paul\nSee: The Orphan Scandal: Christian Missionaries and the Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood"}

{"text": "A great packable down jacket for a good price...\nSaturday, September 29, 2012\nCan you tell from the sign where these coats are? That's right... Costco! The other day I was shopping for my weekly $4.99 roast chicken and 40 bars of soap when I came across these kids' coats. They are remarkably soft and on the thin side, though seem quite warm. They are made by Snozu (I hadn't heard of this brand, have you?) and come with their own small pouch which can hold the entire coat. Very packable. The price? $29.99 and they come in gray with green lining, black with chartreuse lining, navy with royal blue lining, periwinkle with aqua lining and pink with orange lining. And hoods! The girly colors (pink and periwinkle) have a faux fur trim around the hoods that is, thankfully, removable. I was a bit taken with this simple little coat and decided to try it for one of my kids. I do wish that the not-so-beautiful Snozu logo were not on the front of the coat, though I have some plans for hiding that with a cool patch. Or not.\nIf they sell these here in Phoenix, my guess is that they sell them at your Costco too, regardless of your climate. They come in sizes 5/6 through 14/16 which means that this could even be a packable, practical winter layer for small adults as well.\nThe Diminutive Review All rights reserved © Blog Milk - Powered by Blogger\nJust love your blog Natalie. Thank you for sharing. Funny, I bought one of these as well and every time I am hanging something in little mans closet, I can't help but touch this coat - how is it so soft?! Melissa\nIt is really great feeling, right? I'm glad to hear that someone else has bought one of these! Keep me posted if you ever find something else wonderful at Costco in the clothing area. Thank you so much for taking the time to drop me a line.\nWe just bought this coat too for both my sons but I don't know if it will work as a warm coat for cold Maryland weather? (we just moved here) Anyone know if these will keep kids warm even if they are down?\nHi, i live in Wales , Great Britain.....my middle son is very fussy and says his winter coat is to chunky and is refusing to wear it! I saw these in costco...amazing! It would be perfect! But....they have run out of the grey and green in xl..:-( :-( :-( mmm, i guess i have to start looking around again...unless anyonr would like to send me one through the post??? :-)\nMmmm, ive just noticed the sizes are different over there..my son is 10...so i think maybe a medium is needed? Anyway....thanx :-)\nI just bought 2 of these coats for my kids because they were the last ones left. How are they holding up? Are they warm enough for the snow or a chilly night camping? Thanks!!\nHi Molly! Ours is holding up great. My son says it is really warm; it is his favorite jacket of all time. All that said, we live in Phoenix and don't have a lot of use for a down coat, though we did take it to a cold climate over the holiday break and he never complained about being cold. With a back-up fleece layer underneath just in case, I imagine that it would be just fine for your chilly adventures!! Enjoy your Snozus...\nI just bought one of these at Costco for only $19.99.

{"text": "Which balance beams are best?\nFor many gymnasts, only having access to balance beams at the gym can make it difficult to practice their skills and routines as much as they’d like, and an at-home balance beam can make a huge difference. Competition beams are up to 16 feet long, but standard home beams typically are 8 feet long and up to 2-3 feet high, giving your gymnast a chance to practice their skills on a lower beam in the comfort of home. Purchasing the right beam is important, because using a beam at the wrong height can lead to injury. For a high-quality pick that mimics competition beams, consider our top pick, an 8-foot beam from The Beam Store.\nWhat to know before you buy a balance beam\nSkill level\nWhile gym training allows for more daring acts on the balance beam, training at home can be quite dangerous if the gymnast attempts skills beyond their ability. For beginners, it is recommended to have a beam that sits directly on the floor and has a padded foam core, preventing injury from either falls to the floor or the beam itself. As a gymnast increases in skill and technique, they may choose to use higher beams and beams with a solid wooden core, which resemble competition beams. Only intermediate to advanced gymnasts should have a beam that is a foot or more off the ground, and there should always be mats underneath the beam for safety.\nSpace\nWhile competition beams are 16 feet long, most at-home beams are about 8 feet, which is still very long. Before you purchase a beam, consider where you will put it in your home, and whether it will stay out all the time or be stored when not in use. Do not leave a beam outside, as weather causes the beam to deteriorate. There are shorter 4- to 6-feet-long beams available, although these really are only usable for children. If storage is a concern for you, consider a foldable balance beam.\nTypes of balance beams\nOn-ground balance beams: These are recommended for all beginner gymnasts because they are made from a firm foam that does not cause injury if landed on poorly. Lying directly on the ground, they usually are 2 inches tall, creating a perfect training space for practicing skills and footwork.\nOff-ground balance beams: These rely on studs for legs, creating a few inches of height without adding a lot of potential danger. This style allows gymnasts to feel like they are on a competition-level beam, without the risk of significant injury. They are ideal for intermediate gymnasts.\nAdvanced height balance beams: These are much more similar to competition beams, which makes them much more dangerous. Typically, they rest on steel legs that raise them to about 24 inches. For gymnasts pushing past the intermediate level, advanced height beams are the best ways to prepare for competitions. However, because these are the most dangerous beams, proper technique, safety measures and floor mats underneath the beams are essential.\nWhat to look for in a quality balance beam\nCore\nBalance beams are either made with a foam core or a wood core, depending on their height and recommended level. Foam cores typically are only seen in on-ground beams designed for beginners because they allow a gymnast to avoid injury even if they fall directly onto the beam. Wood cores are standard for all off-ground and advanced height beams because they are used in competition beams. Wood core beams usually have foam padding on the outside underneath the synthetic suede covers.\nAdjustability\nSome balance beams come with a variety of heights via adjustable legs. These are ideal for gymnasts who plan to progress to higher levels and want a beam that can progress with them. With an adjustable beam, you don’t have to worry about buying a new beam when you get to higher levels. Adjustable beams are perfect for families with more than one gymnast because they can adjust to the level of each gymnast in the home.\nFoldability\nFinding a place to store a balance beam can be a monumental task, so most beam retailers offer beams that fold up to stow away when not in use. Foldable beams typically have hinges designed to lie flat and that are lightweight enough to be easily carried when folded. Most foldable beams are on-ground, however, so they often are insufficient for more advanced gymnasts.\nHow much you can expect to spend on a balance beam\nWhile there are shorter, on-ground beams available for less than $60, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a beam that is 6-8 feet long for under $150. Even for the highest quality at-home beams, you realistically shouldn’t need to spend much more than $300. For most dedicated gymnasts, a $200-$300 beam is the right choice.\nBalance beam FAQ\nIs it safe to use a balance beam at home?\nA. Yes. Safety is a matter of personal responsibility, so it is always possible to misuse your beam and increase risk. However, most gymnasts have been trained on how to safely use a beam, and using those techniques at home should yield similar results.\nWhat if you have more than one child in gymnastics?\nA. If they are at different ages or skill levels, opt for an adjustable beam. Since these beams are designed to be lower or higher to the ground depending on skill level, you can set them at the right height for each of your gymnasts so you don’t have to purchase multiple beams or force a child to use a beam beyond their level.\nWhat are the best balance beams to buy?\nTop balance beam\nThe Beam Store 8-Foot Suede Balance Beam\nWhat you need to know: This well-constructed and low profile beam provides the best home parallel to the beams you would use at the gym.\nWhat you’ll love: Synthetic suede and cross-link PE foam padding cover a durable wood core for a close replication of a competition beam. At 8 feet long, it provides plenty of room for all routines and has legs that are easy to attach. It is available in a range of colors.\nWhat you should consider: The suede covering tears more easily than expected.\nWhere to buy: Sold by Amazon\nTop balance beam for the money\n86 York Adjustable Balance Beam\nWhat you need to know: This strong and durable balance beam is adjustable so it can compensate as your gymnast develops their skills.\nWhat you’ll love: The strong wooden core covered with padding and a suede exterior attaches to an iron foot base with durable varnish and rubber padding for safety. Offering a floor mode and high mode, this beam allows you to adjust the height incrementally as your gymnast gets more and more comfortable on the beam.\nWhat you should consider: The official weight limit is only 130 pounds, although testers found it is very sturdy even with a 200-pound athlete.\nWhere to buy: Sold by Amazon\nWorth checking out\nMilliard Extra-Long Folding Balance Beam\nWhat you need to know: Lightweight and easy to store, this folding balance beam provides the perfect at-home beam for beginner gymnasts without a ton of space.\nWhat you’ll love: Unfolding to an extra-long 9.5 feet, this competition-style beam provides a safe space to practice upper-level skills at home. The hinges are designed to lie flat, so they won’t damage your floor or add a bump in the beam. This beam has a carry handle for convenience.\nWhat you should consider: Some customers experienced damage during the delivery process. Some intermediate gymnasts didn’t like the on-ground nature of this beam.."}

{"text": "An email drip is a series of thoughtful, targeted emails sent to customers or potential customers.\nDrips are the heart of email marketing. They're also the most powerful way to turn your new audience into a high quality, engaged list.\nThey're built in advance and prepared in your Email Service Provider (ESP). When a new reader joins your list, the series of emails is sent to them across a set series of days.\nIn four steps, we'll show you how to set up a drip campaign in a popular ESP - MailChimp.\nBefore you build this drip, you'll want to make sure you have:\n- Integrated DojoMojo and MailChimp\n- Drafted the series of 5-6 emails you want to send your new audience - check out our Guide to Creating an Email Drip for Sweepstakes Entrants\n1. Create the Series\nSelect Automation from the top Navigation bar\nIn the automation section, click on Welcome Series and select the list that your DojoMojo account is integrated with.\nClick Design Email and add your emails to the series. You can design each email individually so that it matches your brand's look. For more information on how to design welcome drip emails, check out our guide to creating a welcome drip.\n2. Create a Segment for your new DojoMojo leads\nSegmentation allows you to control which users receive these emails. You can create different drip sequences depending on the origin of the subscriber. This builds trust and makes your emails seems more personalized. If you'd rather have only one, catch-all welcome drip, you can skip this step.\n- Click edit next to \"Filter by Segment or Tag\" on your first welcome message (above)\n- Check \"Choose Segment or Tag\"\n- Select \"Subscriber matches the following conditions\"\n- Contacts match all of the following conditions\n- Campaign Name is not Blank\n- Date Added is after your campaign's start date\nIf you acquire emails through other sources, you'll need to create different segments for each.\n3. Add Merge Tags\nMerge Tags allow you to automatically add personalized details like the name of the recipient or campaign name in the body of your email.\nIf desired, you can add additional segmentation criteria (such as campaign name) here as well. They are not necessary but can be a useful tool to build a more personalized drip.\nFor more information on what Merge Tags are and how to set them up, check out this MailChimp article.\n4. Schedule Your Drip Emails\nSet the schedule for each email in the series controls when the reader will receive your email. This is crucial to building a drip that lasts over a week.\n- Click the Edit Schedule button to start creating a schedule. If you do not want to create a schedule, your drip will automatically send, regardless of which day of the week it is.\n- Once you are on the Edit Schedule page, you can select the conditions you want to apply to your schedule.\n- If you want, you can exclude weekends, days that you are already sending a blast to your list, etc. from the automation’s send schedule.\n- This can be helpful if you have data suggesting people are less likely to open your emails on weekends or on days where you send other marketing emails.\n5. Set your Email Triggers\n- Triggers are a necessary step that ensures your emails have proper spacing and that they follow one after another. Setting the triggers controls the length of time between each email in your series. To set the trigger, choose the delay you'd like to have after the previous email.\n- An example of this is to create a trigger that sends your second email 3 days after the initial welcome email.\n- You can also set the initial trigger. Subscribers will be automatically added to your drip, but you can edit that trigger so that they don't receive their first email until several days after they are added to your drip.\nCongratulations! You've officially set up your first email drip in MailChimp. If you ever have any additional questions, you can always reach out to support@dojomojo.com."}

Because it means Makeup Revolution celebrate yet another birthday, and me and some beautiful friends Orla, Megan and Naddy get to go along and party with them!\nI headed up to London around 2pm to meet the girls, as we were all staying overnight in a hotel. We stayed at the Comfort Inn which was absolutely ideal for our needs, a great location and so affordable too!\nWe spend most of the afternoon buying snacks and getting ready, before heading off to the event.\nThe party was held at One Embankment which is a gorgeous venue, situated right on the River Thames. A lot of corporate parties are held there and you can certainly see why - it's so beautiful!\nWhen we arrived, we were greeted by a red carpet and had the chance to get professional photos taken. There was plenty of space to mingle, dance, drink and even a section where we could take a sneak peek at all of the up and coming TAM Beauty releases. Trust me, you really DO NOT want to miss out on those! Check them out here.\nAfter soaking up about 6000 free cocktails and mini bottles of champagne, we got to see some amazing professional dancers (plus some hilarious dance offs!) and managed to track down the gorgeous Jemma (otherwise known as Dorkface). YAY!\nSo happy I got to finally meet her - even if we were both drunk and it was brief haha!\nOverall, the night was so much fun and it felt like I blinked and it was all over! I vlogged most of the evening too and the contents of the goody bag - so you can watch that below if you wanted a sneak peek.\nNot a day goes by where I'm not grateful to TAM Beauty for all of the incredible opportunities like this. Also to the girls who made the night so much fun - I can't thank them enough!
