Five Forks: Signal For Evacuation
(The following is the thirty-ninth in a series of articles published in observance of the centennial of the campaign for Petersburg.)
A century ago today the Battle of Five Forks wrote finis to the campaign for Petersburg and spelled out in terms which could not be mistaken the necessity for evacuating Petersburg and Richmond without delay. Less than a week earlier the failure of the Confederate attack on Fort Stedman, east of Petersburg, had turned in much the same report, but without filling in the details.
The period between these two peaks of action, Fort Stedman and Five Forks, had not been a time of inaction, although the developments merely can be suggested here. Grant was stepping up the tempo of his preparations already under way. Lee was preparing to deal as well as he could with the hammer blows which were coming.
Having completed his task in the Valley of Virginia, General Sheridan, preceded by thousands of horses, arrived at City Point soon after Fort Stedman. Then came General Sherman to confer with General Grant, and the sight of his successful collaborator must have applied a stimulus to Grant's desire to be able to report striking results. Already he was shifting his forces in preparation for offensive action.
Although Sheridan had resisted an urge to make a raid against the Southside Railroad, Lee had sent Fitzhugh Lee's division up the tracks to Sutherland Station. On the evening of the 29th [of March, 1865] Pickett's division was sent by rail to the same point. Fitzhugh Lee and Pickett fortified their position at Five Forks to protect the Confederate right. They repulsed minor attacks, as did Gordon on the Confederate left. March 30 [1865] saw more rain than action. Observers opined that the same rain which seemed to depress Grant's spirits stimulated Sheridan's desire to strike out and start smashing.
March 31 [1865] brought somewhat better weather and sharp reminders of past behavior of the Army of Northern Virginia. In the Hatcher's Run area spirited attacks were made against the Union V Corps. Although initial successes could have little effect on the Union troops being massed, the gallantry displayed had a visibly tonic effect upon Lee's spirits.
Farther to the right, Fitzhugh Lee and Pickett gave Sheridan what he admitted to be one of the liveliest days of his career. He was driven back almost to Dinwiddie Courthouse in an engagement which some have called the last offensive Confederate victory.
All of these moves and actions were preliminary to the great Battle of Five Forks, at a country crossroads which was vital to the defense of the Southside Railroad, which was equivalent to the continued defense of Petersburg. Lee's decision to defend a position isolated from his main line exhibited once more his proverbial daring, but his order to defend it at all hazards was not executed very literally. Indeed few Confederate performances have provoked more Confederate recriminations than the battle which raged a century ago today.
Having struck at Five Forks and having been pushed back upon Dinwiddie Courthouse, Sheridan began calling for infantry reinforcements. He received the V Corps, although he preferred the VI Corps. He was placed in charge of the operation. One division of the V Corps, commanded by General Warren, reached him during the night, but arrival of the other two was delayed until day.
According to Sheridan's plan for capture of Five Forks, his cavalry would hold the front and demonstrate against the confederate right, while Warren's infantry attacked the Confederate left. Sheridan left Dinwiddie Courthouse at daybreak and began to push back, with less ease and speed than he expected, the small Confederate forces which had been left to guard the approaches to Five Forks. But it was Warren's lack of speed which concerned Sheridan, for the commander of the V Corps did not report and receive instructions until about 11 o'clock in the morning.
At Five Forks the Confederate forces were strengthening their works along the north side of White Oak Road extending across the forks. They sang "Annie Laurie" and "Dixie" as they added logs and branches for protection. Generals Fitzhugh Lee and Pickett, evidently not anticipating the large – scale cavalry – infantry movement which was in the making, went off to enjoy a shadbake provided by General Rosser.
The opposing forces made contact about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but it was 4 o'clock before the battle was joined. The Union artillery fire was called some of the most terrific ever heard. Sheridan, as described by General Porter, who observed the battle for Grant, performed as "the very incarnation of battle." Riding on his black horse, Rienzi, he was waving his flag, shaking his fist, threatening, praying, and swearing. But his theatrical performance seems to have been effective.
To the east Warren played his role in more deliberate and less dramatic fashion. Because the information which Sheridan had given him was not accurate and because he had not checked it, Warren was headed toward a point east of the intended point of attack. His infantry was going past the battle. After the infantry was discovered and corrected, the V Corps turned to the left and struck the Confederate rear. The error contributed something to the Union victory by enabling the attackers almost to surround the Confederate force and cut off the route of retreat to Petersburg.
Five Forks was the scene of about two hours of some of the most desperate fighting of the campaign for Petersburg or of the Civil War. The Confederate defeat was a rout. More than 3,000 were captured, and the remainder fled north and reorganized under cover of darkness. Pickett returned from the wagon park on Hatcher's Run too late to affect the course of battle. Later he would criticize Lee for the choice of the place to be defended and Fitzhugh Lee for the performance of his cavalry, but the story of the untimely shadbake would not see the light of print for some years. There was little chance that the defending force could have held off Sheridan's cavalry and Warren's infantry, but it might have prevented the rout.
Confederate casualties included the mortally wounded Colonel William Johnson Pegram, who in life had become a legend of courage. On the Union side, Sheridan, angry over what he considered to be Warren's delay and knowing that Warren was not in favor with Grant, relieved him of command and placed General Griffin in charge of the V Corps. The skids seem to have been well greased. Apparently Warren's past services and the victory itself counted for nothing, while he was held accountable for errors which were his and errors which were not his. Eventually, and not at all easily, he succeeded in obtaining an investigation by a court of inquiry. The findings criticized his slowness on March 31 but found no serious fault with his actions on April 1. Warren died a few weeks before the climax of his long fight for vindication.
Informed of the victory at his Dabney's Mill headquarters, Grant notified Lincoln and the corps commanders and instructed General Weitzel before Richmond to take advantage of any withdrawal of troops there. He was tempted to make a general and immediate attack but set the time at 4 o'clock on the morning of April 2.
A large part of the Confederate force had been cut off from the army defending Petersburg; the mobile force which Lee had created to defend his right had been eliminated. At long last the Union force was within striking distance of the Southside Railroad. The evacuation of Petersburg had become a matter of imminent necessity rather than one of discretion. Lee's problem now was to hold off the enemy long enough to make an orderly evacuation of Petersburg.1

Pickett's failure to recapture Dinwiddie Court House provided the signal for evacuation. From Dinwiddie Court House, the Federals had the angle on the Confederates in any retreat toward North Carolina from Richmond and Petersburg.

'You can make $10,000 in a night': Thieves target used cooking grease
By Justin Jouvenal The Washington Post Apr 18, 2019
The heist began with a thief backing a large, white box truck up behind a Virginia mall around 3:30 a.m. one day in early April, according to a search warrant. The man wasn't looking for cash or electronics, but something stranger: used cooking grease.
He siphoned about 150 gallons of the stinking, viscous liquid from a dumpster behind a Burger King, before a police officer patrolling Annandale Shopping Center busted him, according to the search warrant, filed in Fairfax County.
The crime is not new, but law enforcement officials say thieves are targeting the stuff used to make french fries and fried chicken because of a run-up in biodiesel prices in the past couple of years. Cooking grease can be turned into the fuel, creating a surprisingly lucrative black market for a substance most people wouldn't touch.
The National Renderers Association estimates that up to $75 million worth of old cooking grease is stolen each year.
"I've been a detective for three years," said Jeremy LeVan, who worked the Fairfax County case. "It's at the top of the oddest things I've seen stolen so far."
Restaurants typically contract with a rendering company to haul off cooking grease. The company pays the restaurant a fee and then recycles and sells the grease for components for such things as biofuel, animal feed or fats used in perfume.
Charles Gittins, a corporate lawyer and law enforcement liaison for Valley Proteins of Winchester, Virginia, said his company lost $5 million in grease thefts and an additional $1 million in damage to locking grease dumpsters in 2015, the last year they calculated totals. His company was also the victim in the recent Fairfax County case.
"You can make $10,000 in a night," Gittins said of grease theft. "You buy a junker truck. You buy a 275-gallon container at a tractor supply store. You get a pump and you're in business. You can run five nights a week."
Alvaro Mendez Flores of Richmond, Virginia, is facing grand larceny and other charges in connection with the grease theft at the Annandale Shopping Center on April 4, police said. When police searched his truck, they found a 1,600-gallon tank, water pumps and hoses used to pump the grease, according to the search warrant.
Mendez Flores told police he owned two box trucks and was part of a group that travels around northern Virginia and Maryland stealing grease, according to the search warrant, which describes Mendez Flores's statements to detectives. Gittins and LeVan said the Washington area is a hotbed of grease theft because the concentration of restaurants is high.
After taking the grease, Mendez Flores told detectives, he returned to Richmond and turned the truck over to his boss.
Mendez Flores's boss took the grease somewhere to dispose of it, but Mendez Flores told detectives he did not know where. Mendez Flores was paid about 25 cents per gallon of grease, netting him between $300 and $400 per trip to northern Virginia.
Mendez Flores also told detectives he had stolen between 800 and 900 gallons of grease the previous week from about seven businesses in northern Virginia, according to the search warrant.
A phone number could not be located for Mendez Flores, and his attorney did not respond to a request for comment. Detectives filed the search warrant to examine the contents of Mendez Flores's phone.
Gittins said Mendez Flores's group has been on his radar for at least a couple of years, but it was difficult to catch them in the act. LeVan said grease thieves typically work in the early morning hours and sometimes wear protective coveralls or construction vests to create the impression they are on legitimate business.
LeVan said six grease thefts have been reported in Fairfax County over the past year, but he suspects many more go unreported. LeVan said he is exploring whether Mendez Flores may be tied to any of the other cases.
"It's like people stealing copper and taking it to recycle to get money," LeVan said.

Hamas disarms from it's weapons (which never achieved anything anyway) and backs down from it's claims to destroy Israel, and pooof, "open air prison" is gone.
If only it were as simple as that , I think we both know it isn't.
And what about the settlements in other Palestinian territories ?
Main aggressor , Israeli snipers shot and killed a member of the Palestinian press yesterday even though he was wearing a bright blue bulletproof vest , they also killed 9 other protesters which compared with last week probably shows a little more restraint was used.
There is blame on both sides but I maintain Israel is the main aggressor.
PR spindocs and damage control liars can't admit to the obvious facts. Wanna bet?
No need for peace, just stop the aggression and let Israel to exist.
Oh it's actually is. There was no blockade before Hamas seized power in 2007. Gazans were able to travel freely from and into Gaza. Israel's stance on the matter is known: have a normal functional government instead of a terror militia which aspires to destroy Israel, and the blockade will not be needed.
This is indeed a more complex matter but it is off topic and is not relevant for this discussion.
West Bank and Gaza are ruled by two completely different entities, which are rivals. Only a couple of weeks ago Hamas attempted to assassinate the Palestinian Authority prime minister.
I agree that both territories are linked and need to have a unifying solution. But at the moment we are discussing the blockade on Gaza, and my point is that there is a very simple solution for it that doesn't involve the West Bank.
Palestinians don't have to give up their aspirations for statehood. Hamas only has to disarm.
Israels existence is somehow threatened by dissidents with rocks on a slingshot. Ya know.
Well that's a bit dishonest. Over the years thousands of rockets were fired on Israeli civilian population from Gaza. Hamas openly declares it's goal to destroy Israel. The blockade is in place in order to prevent Hamas acquiring the means to achieve this goal.
Illegal occupation. Simple as that.
If another country came rolling in here (with the help of some powerful friends), claimed it was god's will and started killing our citizenry, annexing our land, limiting our access to food, controlled who came and went, etc. would you fight back? It would be tough though cause remember that the occupying country also has no global repercussion and for the most part controls the media coverage of the situation. It stuns me that people still support Israel.
Since I know my posts here will be met with the usual response, I will leave this sentiment with the thread and not respond further.
"Gaza Border"? Whats that? Is Gaza a country inside Israel? Is it a city or town? Why is there a border inside Israel?
There are borders inside any country.
Usually we are talking about borders of well defined areas such as municipalities, counties, however there is nothing wrong with talking about borders of more arbitrarily drawn areas such as competitive districts or, say, warm fronts and cold fronts.
Heck, you can - and do - even talk about borders around tables in Word documents!
The point is; there is nothing incorrect whatsoever about talking about Gaza having a border. Of course it has. Refusing to accept Gaza has borders is the act of someone negating its existence.

Roche seeks better air tracking
By Frank Tiboni
Air Force Secretary James Roche wants to improve the service's tracking of allies' aircraft and the targeting of enemy ones.
Roche called for the development and fielding of three wide-body aircraft Feb. 12, called the E-10, that would feature advanced sensor and command, control and communications systems. His strategy comes six weeks before the Air Force will award a contested $400 million information technology contract to automate the data processing of enemy ground targets detected by sensors and the operation of radar that can penetrate clouds and tree cover.
Boeing Co., Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp. want to build the Battle Management Command and Control System, called the BMC2. The deal follows three contract awards to develop the airframe and IT systems on the Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft, called the MC2A.
* August 2003: Boeing received a $126 million Air Force contract to build the first of five 767s to serve as experimental platform for the proposed aircraft trio.
* May 2003: An industry team led by Northrop Grumman landed a $215 million Air Force contract to install new radar and command and control systems on 767s, called the Weapon System Integration Program.
* 2000: Northrop Grumman received a $303 million Air Force deal to develop radar that tracks air and ground vehicles, called the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program.
The E-10A would include the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program with a four-foot aperture, the Weapon System Integration Program and the BMC2. The E-10B would combine an air moving target indicator sensor. The E-10C would merge the capabilities of the MC2A and the Rivet Joint aircraft.
"There you have it: An E-10 series, each of which would share a common integration and BMC2 suites — the MC2A," said Roche, speaking Feb. 12 at the Air Force Association's 2004 Air Warfare Symposium held in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., in a service statement.
The MC2A would replace six intelligence-gathering aircraft including the Airborne Warning and control System and the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System.
The Air Force wants to field four E-10 MC2As by 2012, which could grow to a fleet of 60 by 2020. The E-10A MC2A program is an important part of the Air Force's larger Command and Control Constellation program, which consists of land, air and space sensors that use common computer protocols and communications standards to share information.

A SCHOOLGIRL with a rare blood condition who campaigns to increase the number of bone marrow donors is holding a fundraising event for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.
Devaanshi Mehta, 14, of Manor Road, Harrow, suffers from aplastic anaemia and is dependent on having a life-saving transfusion of tiny blood-clotting cells called platelets every eight days.
The Nower Hill High School pupil has organised an international evening at her school in George V Avenue on Saturday, July 9, between 7.30pm and 11pm filled with a variety of world cuisines, a fashion show and other entertainment.
Her mother Kalyani Mehta said: "Her condition has worsened and she wants to make her life's work to do as much for the hospital as possible for as long as she can.
"The hospital is very close to her heart and she they still look after her.
Devaanshi – who recently scooped an award from the Jack Petchey Foundation for her campaigning - had two bone marrow transplants from younger brother, Dushyant, and in doing so inherited his rarer blood type, which makes finding a matching platelets donor more difficult.
Saturday's international evening comes after a charity dinner Devaanshi organised at an Indian restaurant in Stanmore in December pulled in £740 for the same good cause.
Mrs Mehta said: "The proceeds are going to the hospital's bone marrow transplant unit.

In a previous questionnaire I recommended organizing a graduate seminar around the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski (1998). Of course, I could simply rehash the answer I gave there for it is still relevant today. However, this would be far too easy. It would also be far too easy to suggest one alternative film here. It would be even easier to suggest a film that is explicitly Jewish in its plot and/or characters, whether The Jazz Singer (1927) or Schindler's List (1993). Instead, I want to argue for a new approach to Jewish Film Studies—one that makes scholars and students work harder. Rather than pick yet another obviously Jewish film, why not select one in which the Jewishness is not explicit but in which it inheres beneath the surface of the text? Maybe such a film has a Jewish director or screenwriter or creative personnel or identifiably Jewish actors and actresses, which make a Jewish reading possible. Maybe none of these exist but it is still possible to read the film in a Jewish fashion. Let us reach back into Jewish history and use the tools of playfulness, intertextuality, inter-referentiality, and midrash to elicit a Jewish meaning, which may strike us as apparent in the first place. I have been applying such an approach productively to the films of Stanley Kubrick and each of his films, particularly those from Paths of Glory (1957) to Eyes Wide Shut (1999). My particular concern at the moment is his Lolita (1962), which, in its adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel, and casting of Shelley Winters and Peter Sellers, tackles such issues as the Holocaust, postwar American anti-Semitism, the Jewish American Mother, and Hollywood's history of stereotyping. Perhaps, then, my answer to the question is: Kubrick's Lolita.

A Serious Man
The best reply I can think of is trite: The Coen brothers, and forced to choose—A Serious Man (2009). The film offers a bleak and compassionate examination of Jewish existence and the protagonist is an academic. Professor Larry Gupman is on the cusp of tenure, when a Job-like sequence of events drives him to moral turpitude. He has a lot of tsures, and is simultaneously bribed and extorted by his family and surroundings, Jews and Goyim alike. One underlying sense appears when the Japanese father of a failed student seeking to bribe him sternly pleads: Please, accept the mystery (and the money).
The questions in the film are many as are the layers of suffering, reference, and allegory. Seeking answers, Gupnik, trying to be a serious man, turns to the rabbis in order of seniority. He meets a clueless junior rabbi (Wollowitz of The Big Bang Theory) in May or June 1967—the calendar on the wall shows both. The 1960s for the Jews it seems to say, are six days, when the old kind of Judaism died, moved from faith to platitudes. He then meets the senior rabbi, who replies to the search for reasons kindheartedly: "Well, we can't know everything"—and Gupnik retorts: "It sounds like you don't know anything". When finally the elderly rabbi appears, he is a vision out of Kafka, his wisdom summed in the adage: "be a good boy."
The film, like Jewish Studies, offers more questions than answers. Not a morality play, it is a play, declaredly one just like the meises of old. The film ends with tenure being granted (less joy than expected) as the hesitant Gupnik changes the grade, effectively accepting the bribe. As the pencil traces the new grade, a very disturbing call arrives from the doctor, a tornado approaches, and the film ends facing God's wrath from behind the adolescent's head, sound merging with his earphone: "Better find somebody to love." Well, as the rabbi says—"can't hurt, but won't save you from what's coming."

Olga Gershenson
The Dybbuk
Film is a time machine—a window into a different world. This is why I want to talk here about the film that opens windows into a whole lot of worlds— The Dybbuk (1937). It tells a tragic love-cum-exorcism story, complete with beautiful lovers, wise tzaddiks, kabbalistic magic, and mysterious rituals. With its haunting score and folkloristic choreography, The Dybbuk is a window into the Yiddish cinema, with its own genres, styles, and stars.
Another window opens to its literary source, a famous play by S. An-ski, based on his ethnographic expedition to the Pale of Settlement. Already then, in 1911–14, he noted a sense of culture being lost— and impetus to preserve it. This is our chance to talk about Jewish secularization and revolutionary movement (An-ski's trajectory)—with study and activism gradually supplanting the living, breathing tradition.
And then there are the iconic productions of the play—most notably by Habima, a Moscow theater of Hebrew language enthusiasts that would ultimately run away from Stalin's Russia and become a national Israeli institution, with tethers to Zionist ideology and history.
Another window is to the historical moment of the filmmaking. The Dybbuk was made on the brink of destruction of eastern European Jewry, in Yiddish, which was then still a language spoken by millions. (An-ski wrote in Russian; Habima staged in Hebrew). The Dybbuk gives us a chance to consider transnational Jewish culture—shot in Poland by international talent, the film was circulated anywhere Yiddish was spoken. What happened to the crew and the actors after the war? We can talk about death, survival, emigration, and triumphs and failures that come with it.
I can go on and on about this film and the ways to talk about it: gender relations, Hasidism, shtetl life, ritual, and practice. . . . One thing is inescapable: watching the film after the Holocaust, its meaning grows sinister—the entire culture captured on film is a Dybbuk haunting us.

A Film Unfinished
What is historical truth and how can documentary sources deceive us? For years after World War II, museums, chronicling the horrors of the Holocaust, displayed a series of documentary images from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942. These stills, depicting Jewish suffering, seemed the truest visual evidence of Nazi horrors and the wartime Jewish experience. But, A Film Unfinished shows, these images were taken from a Nazi propaganda film, Das Ghetto, intended to harness a very different "truth"—Jewish cruelty, depravity, and lack of mutual concern—by meticulously staging scenes, since overlooked, of supposed Jewish excess and wealthier residents ignoring their dying brethren. Yael Hersonski, building on research undertaken at the Yad Vashem Film Archive and drawing on a combination of diaries, letters, and German archival documents, as well as two late-discovered reels of outtakes, pieces together both the mechanisms of deceit and the historical experience of both Jews and Nazis who experienced the process of filmmaking. Some of those sources had a stunning lineage of their own: they had been hidden in a set of milk canisters dubbed the Oneg Shabbos Archive, a desperate and prescient attempt at documentation by those who knew they would not survive the war. A Film Unfinished is a film about the Holocaust, the Nazi regime, and the manipulation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a symbol. But I find that it is also a stunning and pedagogically rich introduction to the craft and challenges of writing Jewish history: the process of sifting through multiple types of documentation from a variety of sources and the work of understanding the ideologically laden and sometimes intentionally deceptive ways in which some of those sources were constructed in the first place.

Crossing Delancey
Crossing Delancey offers a view into the changing world of modern Jewry, providing a powerful heroine who, along with her friends, highlights both the incredible opportunities available to contemporary women and the price that such freedom affords. Her aging grandmother remains linked to a Jewish traditional world of the New York Lower East Side, even as waves of new immigration have displaced the Jewish dominance of the area. Her parents have fled to Florida, where they live in an idyllic retirement world, suggesting the affluence of middle-class suburban expansion that started to occur for Jews during the 1950s, while Isabelle Grossman is making her own contemporary life in a world where her close childhood friends are still Jewish but her work colleagues orbit in other worlds, offering her a glimpse into societies that generations of earlier Jews from her social class would never have seen or imagined.
Made in 1988, the film's questions remain relevant for young Jewish women today. What is the balance between a traditional Jewish domestic family life and our work lives; can women raise Jewish children alone; to what extent can Jewish women own their sexuality, and is the pickle merchant really what he seems? In a world of JDate, speed dating, surrogacy, Birthright, and alternative prayer services some questions remain the same: can a Jewish woman have it all?

Gil Hochberg
The film captures the drama of "American Jews becoming white," and it does so with just the right amount of nostalgia and the kind of self-deprecating humor that Jews (pardon the essentialism) appreciate so much. The Coens manage to bring back to life the haunting memory of the shtetls and Yiddish, which for some American Jews is of course still a very much living reality; and to do so with cynicism, but also with love and true affection. The film lends itself perfectly to class discussions about modernity and the promise of the "new world" in relation to modern Jewish history. Though humorous, the film serves as a great platform through which to discuss some very serious tensions between the history of Jews as Other and the present Judeo-Christian reality created as a master narrative in the United States after World War II. It also touches upon tensions between the idea of a Jewish messianic time and the reality of the present (Christian?) world we inhabit as American modernized citizens.
While several critics have accused the Coen brothers of producing a self- loathing film full of anti-Semitic caricatured representations of Jews, I would argue on the contrary that the film demonstrates just the right amount of self-criticism, which is necessary to assure the humanist impact of what Hannah Arendt calls "the Jew as Pariah."

Ushpizin
So many high quality films relevant to the field of Jewish Studies have been produced that it's hard to pick just one. However, I have also noticed that excellent films are not always the most effective teaching tools. Students often need more background in order to be able to appreciate a particularly ambitious and nuanced film dealing with a subject of relevance to Jewish Studies. This is probably why one of the films that I have had the most success with for the purposes of teaching undergraduates is by no means my favorite. But, when used carefully, I have found Giddi Dar's Ushpizin to be a helpful teaching tool for survey courses on Judaism.
Set in a religious Jerusalem neighborhood, this at-times humorous film follows a series of unlikely events that happen to a married couple, Moshe and Mali, over the holiday of Sukkot as they attempt to reconcile their newly adopted religious identity as Bratslav Hasidim with their struggle to conceive a child. The lighthearted but earnest plot line of the film provides countless points of reference for discussing traditional Jewish religious practice. The film also provides many, albeit filtered, allusions to the tensions between secular and religious Jews in Israel.
The obvious problem with using a film like this is that it depicts one particular kind of Judaism, set in a specific time and place, as the authentic model. The vast diversity of Jewish life across time and space is not visible in this film. But, these limitations are in fact the reason why the film can work so well as a teaching tool. It gives the students a place to start. Jonathan Z. Smith argues that effective college teaching often entails what he calls "the necessary lie," or "disciplinary lying," where students are given a stable starting point for study, which is subsequently destabilized. Ushpizin works well as an initial frame of reference, which can then be problematized from a variety of directions. The students are able to recognize how much they have learned by comparing their first impressions of the film with their more informed perspective at the end of the semester.

Le Grand Rôle
The Yiddish reading of Shylock's "Hath Not a Jew Eyes?" speech is among the most memorable scenes in Le Grand Rôle (2004). The performance lands actor Maurice (Stéphane Freiss) the role of a lifetime. When the role is then given to a Hollywood star, Maurice takes on another even greater part, hiding his loss from his wife, Perla (Bérénice Bejo), who is dying of cancer. Le Grand Rôle is a tearjerker, but also an exploration of Jewish-Christian relations in Europe. Maurice's audition follows a speech by an elderly Holocaust survivor (Clément Harari). In the spirit of "all the world's a stage," the old man asserts that everyone plays roles, even that of survivor. And, perhaps, he suggests, survivors can write Shylock better than Shakespeare.
I teach early English literature and I am eager to encourage students to think not only about how Jews have been represented in works like Merchant, but how Jews have responded and continue to respond to this tradition. Some of the most engaging new research on medieval and early modern Jewish-Christian relations addresses interaction between cultures, studying not just "the Jew that Shakespeare drew," but how Jews played a role in shaping early European cultures. Maurice can play his "great role" because he is supported by a loyal group of friends, who, like him, navigate life in Paris as Jews. The film opens in a restaurant, where a powerful director pokes fun at Maurice's Jewish identity, provoking a spirited response from Perla. The film closes with a widowed Maurice on his way to another restaurant meal, this time buoyed by his Jewish friends. He stares at a poster for the film he almost starred in, remarking that he has dubbed Shylock's Yiddish lines instead. Jewish life in France seems more precarious now than when Le Grand Rôle premiered a decade ago; the question of the survival of Jewish voices in Europe is more relevant than ever.

Secrets of a Soul
Many films relate directly to my work in Jewish Studies, but I would like to point to one a bit less obvious: G. W. Pabst's 1926 film Secrets of a Soul (Geheimnesse einer Seele), the first serious cinematic representation of the psychoanalytic process. From the fertile cultural scene of Weimar Germany, psychoanalysis, like film, burst into the public consciousness, and captivated arbiters of popular culture around the world. One of these, Hollywood mogul Samuel Goldwyn, even approached Sigmund Freud himself, offering him $100,000 to consult on a psychoanalytically themed film. Freud turned down the offer ("We do not want to give our consent to anything insipid"), but two in his "inner circle," Karl Abraham and Hans Sachs, proved more willing, and with screenwriter Hans Neumann they helped create a minor masterpiece. [1]
The film opens on a domestic scene, in which a middle-aged professor, Martin Fellman (Werner Krauss, of Cabinet of Dr. Caligari fame) is startled by a scream and accidentally cuts his wife. That evening, he has a frightful dream, portrayed in a fantastic surrealist cinematic sequence, the brainchild of Hungarian Jewish artist Ernö Metzner. After the dream, Fellman develops an acute neurosis: he cannot touch knives and is irrationally afraid of returning home to his wife. He is discovered in his sickened state by a kindly stranger, who turns out to be none other than Dr. Orth, an expert in a "new method for treatment of such illness," psychoanalysis. "There is no reason to despair!" the doctor declares. For the rest of the film, we follow, in abridged form, the ups and downs of 1920s therapeutic process, portrayed once again in Metzner's brilliant surrealism, until at last Dr. Orth effects his cure through a triumphant interpretation of Fellman's first, troubling dream.
Like psychoanalysis, Secrets of a Soul is not "Jewish." But also like psychoanalysis, it has an organic connection to the particular world of pre-World War II central Europe, one impacted so deeply by the varied expressions of cultural and intellectual contributions of its Jewish community. To me this makes the film, in addition to its beauty, a powerful spotlight on an important moment in Jewish German cultural history.
(1) Eli Zaretsky, Secrets of the Soul: A Social and Cultural History of Psychoanalysis (2004), 145–146. I am indebted to Professor Zaretsky for the factual content (including quotations) of this paragraph.

Seekers of Happiness
Towards the end of Seekers of Happiness, which is set in Birobidzhan—a territory designated for Jewish colonization in the Soviet Far East—Natan, a collective farm chairman, detects a footprint of a shoe he proclaims to be "foreign." On the trail to capture a man accused of beating another Jewish settler, Natan inadvertently hints at the metacontext of the film. Namely, the film aims to showcase a family of Jewish migrants, who had left the shtetl for Palestine but then moved to the Soviet Union. The film's main goal is to sniff out a "foreign" element resistant to the ideology that settling Jews on the land would help cure the degenerate economic condition typical of the newly defunct Pale of Settlement.
This film about Birobidzhan, though once dismissed as mere propaganda, can, in fact, teach us a lot. How to detect the codes of an ideological work of art, for example, is itself an important interpretative skill. Like many Socialist Realist works, Seekers of Happiness skillfully performs its ideology through a rather conventional plot: Natan is in love with Basya, who is married to Pinya Kopman, the film's "foreign" villain who is resistant to Soviet innovation. Natan is frequently depicted in proximity to a portrait of Stalin—and so, ridding Basya of Pinya allows for Stalin to enter the familial structure by proxy.
But the film is, at the same time, a terrific exhibit of how an intended ideological message shows its cracks when odd details of the work are examined. For example, on the train to Birobidzhan, Pinya and his family meet and are greeted by a strange man playing "Israel's Lament on the Banks of the Amur River." The name of the song evokes the words of Psalm 137, thus presenting the river demarcating one of the borders of the Birobidzhan region as a replacement for "the rivers of Babylon." Birobidzhan here is the newest exilic topos in a long chain of Jewish displacement—rather than the "Red Zion" it was supposed to be.
Readings such as this one ask us to reconcile the film's intended ideology with details that chip away at the same message from the inside in order to produce a complex cultural artifact of the Soviet Jewish experience.

Walden Pond, where Henry David Thoreau spent two years in the 1840s, is one of Concord's most-iconic landmarks.
But steep entry ramps and stairways have made accessing the pond difficult for visitors who use wheelchairs or other mobility assistance devices.
Fixing that and providing "universal access" to Walden Pond is the latest in a series of improvements proposed by the state's Department of Conservation and Recreation.
In a Jan. 30 presentation, the DCR highlighted a number of flaws with the current facilities. The bathhouse is only accessible by stairs. The entry ramps are steeper than accessibility guidelines allow. The rapid drop from the street to the beach has created erosion and runoff problems. And there is no accessible trail leading from the parking area to the site of Thoreau's cabin.
The DCR wants to address these problems with an estimated $6.1 million renovation that would include new pathways, entrances and a replaced or renovated bathhouse.
For the pathways and entrances, representatives from the DCR said the goal was to minimize the length and visibility of new pathways while still provide access to all visitors.
To achieve this, the department has proposed creating a path that starts at the same point as the current pond entrance but takes a shallower angle down to the bathhouse before changing direction and reaching the beach landing.
The existing bathhouse facility dates from 1947 and was last updated in 1984, according to the DCR.
"The interior spaces do not meet current universal accessibility needs and the finishes and building systems are in need of complete updates to enhance functionality and visitor comfort," according to materials from the DCR.
Whether the DCR opts to renovate or replace the building, the department has committed to making the new facility universally accessible and to increasing the number of family restrooms.
A portion of the design of the universal access project is funded. Design money is needed for the bathhouse project and no money is currently committed for construction in DCR's capital plan.
Plans are in the information-gathering stage, according to the department, so construction is unlikely to start before 2020.
The DCR said that securing funding through grants and donations was one of the next steps in the process, in addition to permitting and finishing the universal access design.
The public is invited to submit comments about the project online at mass.gov/forms/dcr-public-comments through Feb. 15, but the DCR was not able to make submitted comments available by the publishing of this article.

Straight guys keep covertly gushing about "Magic Mike" to Matt Bomer
By Editors October 5, 2017 at 2:10pm · 12 comments
Out movie star Matt Bomer has an impressive career by any standards.
But there's one film that he just can't shake — and why would he want to?
Related: Matt Bomer tells Andy Cohen what gives him "a boner"
Magic Mike was something of a cultural phenomenon in 2012, and there's one category of fans who keep covertly bringing up the strip-tastic saga whenever they bump into Bomer at the grocery store, the neighborhood dive or perhaps in line at the DMV: straight guys.
We're sure they only watch it for the acting though, not the dancing.
Matt stopped by Conan to discuss:
Here's a refresher on the film they all love so much:

I'm pretty sure there's a clinical term for gay men who obsess over believing all men are likewise gay and share their desires, and I'm also pretty sure all Queerty writers suffer from a severe case of it.
October 5, 2017 at 5:10pm
Haha very funny. Straight guys admire hot bodies male or not just like I admire beautiful women however, no boner for either of us. And no, not every str8 guy has his price. Rose colored glasses are so completely boring and rediculous.
No, actually this is a common myth straight men like to believe about themselves. For the record, no…we're not all after you, or believe you'd "go gay" for the right guy..and in Matt Bomer's case…he's happily married and has better things to worry about. P.S. There is a clinical term for your comment…"delusional".
PinkoOfTheGange
There might be, but why you bring it up based on this story is an example of projection, because no one in this story even alludes to anything resembling latent homosexuality…some insecurity in someone's masculinity now that was laid out like Brody at the tubs on half price night.

Was this movie as dumb as it looks?
No. Unless you're str8. It's fluff fun, that's about it. It wasn't aiming for an academy award.
Daniel-Reader
Yes, and the gay slur just made it even worse.
Donston
It was a halfway decent, small scale character drama. It got some acclaim because it wasn't as terrible as many thought it would be. But it was still mostly drab and shallow. As far as whether it's a turn on of a movie, not really. Tatum was the only one who knew anything about stripping. Everyone else was stiff and awkward, in particular Bomer. And there is far more skin shown and general raciness from from most strippers than this movie was willing to put on display.
YourDad
Whenever a mere mortal runs into a movie star in LA, they mentioned how much they loved them in _____ (fill in the blank). It's usually the first or only movie they can remember the person in. I have no clue who Matt Bomer is, and doubt that straight men mentioning him in Magic Mike is indicative of anything.
Typical dad comment assuming they know something based on limited input. The video destroys your scenario.

CapRadio's Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler joins Insight to talk about a number of items. First, Gov. Gavin Newsom simultaneously slams PG&E while supporting the company's decision to shut off the power to large parts of the state — affecting up to 7 percent of the state's population.
In his comments, Newsom has pointed to San Diego Gas & Electric, a utility that's drawn wide praise for hardening its grid and bolstering its wildfire prevention efforts, as an example of how PG&E should have done better. The "public safety power shutoffs" initiated by PG&E, SDG&E and Southern California Edison could cut electricity to nearly 3 million Californians.
Ben will also highlight some of Newsom's recent bill signings.

It has been some time since I was as inspired by a chef's tv show, as I was by the first episode of Jamie Oliver's Super Food. Beautifully shot, farm-to-fork stories, overflowing with flavour and yet simple as can be. Encouraging indulgence, balance, quality, freshness, and healthy, all in one show. Finally. Jamie Oliver I cannot thank you enough.
While I don't yet have his book – something I certainly plan on rectifying as soon as possible – his Berry Pocket Eggy Bread with Pistachios, Yoghurt, Honey and Cinnamon, was hard to resist.
And so the very next day I got to work on my now 5 day old pain au chocolat, to produce my re-adaptation, and now called Stale Pain au Chocolat French Toast (I know, so original) with quick overripe Nectarine Compote, to celebrate the last of summer. While saving both pastries and overripe fruit; killing two birds with one stone, no big deal.
Who knew some of the best French toast I would ever make would come out of a 5 day old Pain au Chocolat.
Jamie Oliver's Berry Pocket Eggy Bread adaptation. Serves 1.
Slice your nectarine into your saucepan, add honey and thyme, turn the heat on low, and leave for the duration of the rest of your preparation, until ready to cook (about 20-30 minutes). Stirring occasionally so that it does not burn.
Mash your banana with the back of a fork, into your dish, as finely as possible (think baby food). Into your banana, whisk your egg. Until fully incorporated.
Take your pastry, bottom side first, move it around your egg and banana batter to coat sides, and leave in the middle and press down to flatten and ensure as much surface area as possible is soaking up the batter.
After a couple of minutes, turn it over, repeating the previous step. With your fingers (or a spoon if you a must), scoop the batter on top of the pastry, pressing down to aid/speed up the absorption.
After another couple of minutes, turn your pan on medium, add a drop of olive oil to the pan, go back to your pastry and turn it back over, make sure the sides are covered as best as possible, spoon any remaining batter on top of the pastry (should be about a table spoon – no point in wasting any egg and banana right? Right?), again, pressing down, and carefully transfer to your pan, placing directly onto the now heated oil.
Cook on the first side for 5 or so minutes, before flipping, and cooking for a further 5 minutes.
The outsides should be darkening, charring slightly, and starting to crisp.
When ready, remove from the heat, slice diagonally in two, top with yoghurt, and your quick nectarine compote.
Devour the best French toast you ever did make.
With an additional sprinkle of chopped, toasted nuts: walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios, or even pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
Top with Greek Yoghurt, Coconut Yoghurt, Crême Fraiche and or Sour Cream.
Replace the nectarine with any other overripe fruit, and or top with a dollop of home made jam.

NY Launches Plan To Address School Bus Driver Shortage
ORANGETOWN, N.Y. -- A South Orangetown music teacher is in line for a prestigious award.
Matthew Rotjan, who teaches at both the South Orangetown Middle School and Cottage Lane Elementary School, had been named as a quarterfinalist in the contest for the 2017 Music Educator Award.
More than 3,300 teachers were nominated for the award, but only 290 educators, representing 264 cities, made it to the quarterfinals.
The award is presented by The Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation.
Rotjan teaches third- through eighth-graders to play stringed instruments and in orchestras. He joined the South Orangetown Central School District in 2008.
Rotjan was also nominated for the 2015 Grammy Music Educator Award and was a quarterfinalist for the 2016 and 2017 Grammy Music Educator Awards.
According to Interschool Orchestras of New York, Rotjan says believes that a quality music education gives children not only an opportunity to study music but also a "unique social context" in which they can grow as students.
When not teaching in the South Orangetown schools, the cellist works with young musicians in New York City as a conductor of the InterSchool Orchestras of New York's Trinity Florentine Orchestra.
Rotjan co-founded the Rockland Youth Orchestra, a not-for-profit organization.
He has also presented at conferences for the New York State School Music Association, Connecticut Music Educators Association, New Jersey Music Educators Association and the American String Teachers Association.
A Florence Geffen Scholar, Rotjan teaches and studies at Teachers College, Columbia University.
He graduated from Ithaca College with degrees in music education and performance and has master's degrees in music and music education from Teachers College, Columbia University.
The award is given to teachers in both public and private schools who have made a significant and enduring contribution to music education.
According to grammyintheschools.com, one recipient will be selected from 10 finalists.
The winner will be flown to Los Angeles to accept the award, attend the Grammy Awards ceremony and be given a $10,000 honorarium.
The nine finalists will each receive a $1,000 honorarium, and the schools where the 10 finalists teach will also receive matching grants.
Semifinalists will be announced in September.

Q: OpenLDAP Proxy to AD - userPrincipalName as BindDN I've setup OpenLDAP as AD proxy according to:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/OpenLDAP_as_proxy_to_AD
Everything's working fine for clients using standard bindDN of full dn: attribute (e.g. cn=jdoe,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com)
Some of the clients are using userPrincipalName as bindDN, which is perfectly ok with AD, but not with the OpenLDAP proxy, which throws an error upon connect:
conn=1002 op=1 do_bind: invalid dn (jdoe@example.com)
send_ldap_result: conn=1002 op=1 p=3
send_ldap_result: err=34 matched="" text="invalid DN"
send_ldap_response: msgid=2 tag=97 err=34
conn=1002 op=1 RESULT tag=97 err=34 text=invalid DN

I tried to rewrite the bindDN of userPrincipalName using rwm-rewriteRule from the rwm overlay. That didn't work, although it works with standard bind dn's(e.g.cn=jdoe,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com)
This doesn't work:
rwm-rewriteRule "(.+,)@example.com$" "cn=$1,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"  ":"

This works - rewriting ou=users for ou=employees as a test:
rwm-rewriteRule "(.+,)?ou=users,dc=example,dc=com$" "$1ou=employees,dc=example,dc=com"  ":"

Is there a way how to rewrite bindDN of jdoe@example.com to bindDN of cn=jdoe,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com?
Thanks for any ideas :)

The battery seems to perform well for an iPhone 8, The LEDs in the display seem a little off center but are visible and seem to work. The function button is a little quirky but does function as it is supposed to with a little practice.
Device looks and feels study and well crafted. After 1 month of use the device is working well and charging iphone 8+.
Have used this for several months now and find it to be fantastic. Buy for all my friends and family.
The charger arrived in three days from CA to Florida. The first time I used the power bank, it was fully charged from Monoprice. We used this device to fully charge one Android phone while driving. Afterwards, the indicator was still full (or close to it). There should be plenty of juice to recharge 2 or 3 times. It does come with a charging only cable. I could have purchased a smaller unit, but I wanted charging power to spare if I were on vacation, etc. Yes, I would buy this again and also recommend it to others.
PROS: Has reserve power, simple to use, does the job.
Great device for those that are on the go and need to ensure that their smart phone and hands free is fully charged and ready. The duel charge ports allow multi users or devices. I put it to good use while on a recent field trip where clean, safe power was not available.
Love this charger, am thinking about getting more for gift giving.
PROS: Compact design yet powerful. Fits in my purse and comes in very handy while traveling.
CONS: Can't think of any cons.
PROS: Nice looking and functionally good product. I have used it once to charge iPhone 6. It holds its charge quite solidly!! Perhaps we should comment the product for at least 6 months to a year so our assessment is more reliable. So far so good. A good value.
I got this for personal use, Price was $2 cheaper than I could get at a department store close to home, not a bad deal but not the usual monoprice great deal either.
PROS: Works decent was expecting a little more power.
CONS: Came with a power cable but not a plug, flashlight doesn't work which is not really a big deal given that I don't need a flashlight on my charger, I have a Samsung Note 3, I will get a bout 50% charge in about 35-40 min, I have not yet gotten a full charge but I havent left it more than 40 minutes. If I am using the phone while charging it seem to be using all the chargers energy so I get no charge during phone usage. I would recommend if asked but I would not go out of my way to do it..
I was skeptical because most lower priced power units do not work well but I am so happy we purchased this. We have absolutely no complaints about the Monoprice Select Series Power Bank, 8000mAh. Especially since Samsung turned their Galaxy S6 into an "iPhone-Wanna-Be" by eliminating a removable battery and producing a phone that barely can stay powered for more than 5 hours with moderate use, this power bank is a lifesaver.


There are significant benefits for students in grounding their learning in a culture of research and inquiry, which is strengthened by involving expert academic staff in teaching. Not least of these benefits is the focus on students becoming active participants in the production of knowledge, rather than passive recipients or consumers.
At the University of Leeds the structure and content of degree programmes are such that all taught students have the opportunity throughout their studies to learn about, and participate in, the research process and to understand how new knowledge is created. This includes, for example, students' own supervised projects, work with staff on aspects of their research, case studies, solving real-life problems and the use of relevant/industry-based applications.
All first-year undergraduates at the University of Exeter are encouraged to participate in Grand Challenges. This programme provides the opportunity for students to work in interdisciplinary research groups with access to the university's top academics, along with inspirational world-leading experts, to produce solutions and ideas addressing some of the key dilemmas of the 21st century.
Several Russell Group universities have long-established programmes, often known as Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programmes (UROPs), that enable undergraduates to be involved in research opportunities. The UROP at Imperial College London was established in 1980 and has provided research opportunities to over 4,000 students, many of whom have gone on to develop careers in research.
At the University of Warwick, undergraduate students have the opportunity to publish their work in Reinvention: a Journal of Undergraduate Research. As a participant on the Undergraduate Research Scholarship Scheme notes: "It doesn't matter if you want to be a researcher or not, the skills you gain are always going to be valued in any future career you undertake."
Learning at university is likely to be very different to learning at school or college, and in recent years our universities have put more work into helping students to understand and deal with this transition.

From Airplanes to Turbines
Solar Turbines History
Solar Turbines started as an aircraft company in 1927. The company grew through several wars and the Great Depression. Solar's growth led the company to develop a wide range of innovative products. Today Solar is a key player in the 1,000 to 30,000 horsepower (hp) segment of the global gas turbine market, making it a world-class energy solutions provider. Building on the accomplishments below, Solar Turbines continues to power the future as ONE team.
A pioneering San Diego Company, Solar Aircraft, designed and manufactured aircraft at the dawn of air travel.
Solar leased a plant in National City, CA housing an industrial products company that manufactured automotive air cleaners.
With the end of the war came new efforts to diversify the company's product line, including milk truck tanks, dairy pasteurizers, film processing machines, coffee brewers, kitchen sinks, popsicle trays, and mini race cars.
Solar developed the Jupiter engine and the 50-hp Mars gas turbine.
Solar went to the moon! The company's research department crafted exotic metal beryllium cases for the GE 26 System for Nuclear Auxiliary Power 70W electric generators. Five of these cases were placed on the moon by Apollo 12.
Solar developed Solimide high-temperature non-toxic foam. The company also changed its control system to employ integrated circuit and began development of the 10,000 hp Mars engine. This was also the year that Solar phased out the aerospace components and subcontracting business.
The company developed a trailer mounted Saturn 1000 generator, which was capable of providing dual frequency and voltage for use anywhere. It was built for the U.S. Army.
After being named an official subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., the first Turbotronic control console was introduced. Two years later Solar placed a Turbotronic control system on a Mars engine.
Solar launches three new gas turbine models in the late 80s and early 90s: Taurus™ 60, Taurus™ 70, Mars® 100. All three models each have more than 1000 installations and today are part of Solar's core product lineup.
Solar introduced the 18,300-hp Titan 130 engine featuring new blade and combustion technology, improving part-load heat rate performance and achieving thermal efficiency above 35% on both the single and dual-shaft configurations.
Solar launched Equipment Health Management through InSight™ Platform. It has evolved into an entire ecosystem of digital tools, capabilities and analytics for maximizing machinery uptime and lower lifecycle costs.
Solar introduced the 30,000-hp Titan 250 gas turbine. This design features a compact engine footprint, delivering an impressive power density in a package.
The company installed a 3D virtual immersion lab to assist in rapid development, design and prototype of packaged products.
Solar adds Power Generation Module (PGM) to its product line-up. A simplified design to minimize maintenance and maximize productivity, these factory pre-assembled modules reduce installation and commissioning time on-site.
Solar introduces Solar Mobile Turbomachinery (SMT), a complete mobile power plant for short-term power generation. SMT is ideal for oil field power, remote power, trailer power, and in emergencies, such as natural disasters.

Eric Olsen is an American-French business executive. He served as the Chief Executive Officer of LafargeHolcim, a construction public corporation, until 2017.

Early life
Eric Olsen was born in Easton, Pennsylvania, and moved to Chicago, Illinois, at a young age.

Olsen graduated from the University of Colorado. He received a Masters in business administration from HEC Paris.

Career
Olsen started his career at Deloitte. He later worked for Paribas and Trinity Associates.

Olsen joined Lafarge North America in 1999. He became its chief financial officer in 2004. Three years later, in 2007, he was promoted as head of human resources for Lafarge, which had 71,000 employees in more than 70 countries. Olsen helped integrate employees of the Orascom Group, acquired by Lafarge in 2007, and reorganised the group in 2012. By 2013, he became executive vice president of operations.

Olsen became Chief Executive Officer of LafargeHolcim on July 10, 2015. Olsen conducted the $44bn cross border merger and integration of Lafarge with Holcim.  He was responsible for "140,000 employees and revenues of about €30bn."

The findings of an independent internal investigation by the Finance and Audit Committee of the LafargeHolcim Board into 2016 allegations relating to legacy Lafarge operations at its plant in Syria, released on 2 March 2017, found that company funds were given to third parties who then made arrangements with a number of groups, including "sanctioned parties", in order to "maintain operations and ensure safe passage of employees and supplies to and from the plant" during 2013 until the plant closed in September 2014.

On conclusion of the investigation the board said in a statement on 24 April 2017 regarding Eric Olsen: "Following an in-depth review, the Board has concluded that Eric Olsen was not responsible for, nor thought to be aware of, any wrongdoings that have been identified as part of its review."

However, Olsen announced his resignation on April 24, 2017, saying in a statement that "it will contribute to addressing strong tensions that have recently arisen around the Syria case" although "absolutely not involved in, nor even aware of, any wrongdoing".

On 4 March 2019 the French judges overseeing the LafargeHolcim Syria case also removed Olsen from their investigation into the LafargeHolcim financing of sanctioned parties, which had commenced in December 2017. Olsen welcomed the decision, saying that it restored his honour and allowed him to resume his career.

He left LafargeHolcim on 15 July 2017.

Olsen joined Aliaxis as Chief Executive Officer on October 1, 2020.

Philanthropy
Olsen formerly served as Chair of the American School of Paris.

Personal life
He has two children. He resides in Paris, France.

Olsen became a bi-national, after gaining French citizenship in 2014. He enjoys skiing.

Being Real in America
Posted on August 31, 2022 by Larry Franz
The real Eiffel Tower is in Paris. There's a fake one in Las Vegas. If there is a "Real America", is there a fake one somewhere? Maybe in Belgium or Thailand? Max Boot of The Washington Post has some thoughts on what's real about America:
I've been feeling very blue this summer. Oh, I don't mean I'm depressed — I've been having a ball. But I've been spending time in some of the most liberal enclaves in America: first Martha's Vineyard, then Provincetown, Mass., an LGBTQ mecca where pride flags are ubiquitous…..
I have to admit that even this reformed ex-Republican did a slight eyeroll at the car next door to our rented beach house in P-town. It sports bumper stickers proclaiming "Biden-Harris," "Coexist" (with Christian, Jewish, Muslim and peace symbols), "Resist" and "Bye Don" under a shock of yellow hair. Naturally, it's a Subaru station wagon with a bike rack. How cliché can you get?
It is easy in such environs to imagine that you're not in the "real America"….
But you know what? Provincetown is the real America [note: first settled in 1700]. So is Martha's Vineyard. These communities are undoubtedly on the left…. But, in many ways, they might be more representative of 2022 America than the Rust Belt diners where reporters love to take the pulse of T____landia.
There is an implicit assumption, shared by many Republicans and Democrats, that "real" Americans are White, rural, conservative, Christian and poorly educated. ("I love the poorly educated," D____ T____ said in 2016.) Ultra-MAGA Republicans assume that their policy preferences — anti-immigration, anti-gun control, anti-abortion, anti-"woke" — are the only legitimate views that can be held by "real" Americans, and that anyone who disagrees is a pointy-headed elitist or "globalist" who is out of touch with reality.
Yet it is White, Christian, rural, conservative voters who are now in the minority. Indeed, much of the reason that MAGA Republicans sound so hysterical so much of the time is that they know that the tides of economic and demographic change are leaving them behind. The White share of the population has declined from 80 percent in 1980 to just 60.1 percent in 2019. By the 2040s, America is projected to become "majority minority."
Accompanying this demographic shift is an economic shift that puts a premium on brains over brawn: In 1970, 31.2 percent of non-farm workers were employed in blue-collar jobs. By 2016, the blue-collar share of the workforce had fallen to just 13.6 percent. There is even a religious shift: Atheists and agnostics are the fastest-growing religious group in the country, while the percentage of Christians declined by 15 points between 2007 and 2021.
Demography is not necessarily destiny, and Latinos, in particular, are not as Democratic as they used to be. But these trends are hardly favorable for a T____ified Republican Party whose base increasingly consists of White, evangelical Christians who haven't graduated from college.
A more diverse, better-educated country is more liberal, particularly on cultural issues. In other words, more like P-town and the Vineyard. Just look at the massive shift on same-sex marriage. Even Obama came out against marriage equality in 2008 when it had the support of only 40 percent of Americans. Now same-sex marriage is supported by 71 percent of the public — and even by 55 percent of Republicans. It has become a nonissue.
The hardcore MAGA base might thrill to the kind of cultural warfare practiced by T____ and [Florida Governor] DeSantis, but it repels most of the electorate — which is why so many Republicans who touted their opposition to abortion during the primaries are now soft-pedaling an unpopular stance.
Our political system has a sharp minoritarian bias, but there is little doubt that Democratic positions are way more popular than Republican ones. Sixty-seven million more Americans live in counties won by Joe Biden than by T____ in 2020 — and the Biden counties produce 71 percent of U.S. gross domestic product.
The Biden strongholds are in major cities and suburban areas — and that is increasingly where most Americans live. Even in red states, major metropolitan areas tend to be pretty blue. The largest city T____ won in 2020 was Oklahoma City [the 22nd largest city in the US].
The whole country might not be nearly as progressive as Provincetown or Martha's Vineyard, but those blue havens are closer to an increasingly liberal mainstream than the MAGA redoubts where pickup trucks sport "Let's Go, Brandon!" bumper stickers. There is a good reason so many MAGA Republicans are embracing "semi-fascism": Their views are too unpopular to command majority support anymore. They certainly don't speak for the "real" America — to the extent that such a thing even exists.
In the old days, when Hollywood made a war movie, a platoon would include soldiers from all over (maybe they still do it these days with the addition of a woman or two). There would be a fast talker from Brooklyn, a cowboy from Texas, a hothead from Mississippi, a college athlete, a family man from Iowa, a skinny kid who lied about his age to enlist, an Arizona Indian, a reliable sort from anywhere USA (maybe played by Van Johnson), perhaps even a quiet black man and somebody named "Gonzales" or "Nakamura". The message was that real Americans, the great guys who were defending democracy against the fascists, came from all over. Today, when our homegrown fascists and semi-fascists hear "we're all in this together", they think it's a threat. They hate the reality of America.

The men's sprint kicked off the morning session of the Beijing World Cup as German Stefan Nimke qualified fastest ahead of Frenchman Kevin Sireau and world sprint champion Theo Bos of Holland. The top 16 qualifiers proceeded through to the knockout stages with Bos eventually coming out on top after defeating another Frenchman, Mickael Bourgain, 2-0 in the final. Nimke took care of Sireau by the same margin to earn bronze while Great Britain's Chris Hoy won the race-off for fifth. Reigning Olympic champion Ryan Bayley failed to make it past the second round after losing to British youngster Ross Edgar.
Next up was the women's 3000m team pursuit, a new event in the Track World Cup run for the first time last weekend in Sydney. The Ukrainian trio of Svetlana Galuk, Lesya Kalitovska and Lyubov Shulika qualified fastest, over a second quicker than Russia, winners of round one in Sydney. The final saw the same outcome, as despite a problem with the timing system, Ukraine topped the Russians to take gold and bolster their position at the top of the World Cup standings.
In the women's keirin Dutchwoman Willy Kanis produced a wily performance to evade two last lap crashes and take gold from Germany's Christin Muche. Of the four riders who fell, Ukrainian Natallia Tsylinskaya was the quickest to re-mount, and rolled across the line to take bronze. World keirin champion Victoria Pendleton was also brought down in the crash, but walked from the track after a brief medical examination. Not so lucky was Lithuanian Simona Krupeckaite, who was carried away on a backboard and taken to hospital with a suspected arm injury.
The traditional Track World Cup finale, the men's Madison, was a star-studded affair with teams eager to score early qualifying points for the world championships and Olympics. Only the top 13 UCI-ranked countries will get a ride in Beijing, with defending champions Australia still to gain a point after a disappointing performance today which saw Allan Davis crash out with a badly bruised right knee.
French pairing Jerome Neuville and Christophe Riblon took the Madison honours after a closely fought contest with Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, riding for their T-Mobile track team. Both pairs lapped the field but Neuville and Riblon had taken a single point in the first of eight sprints which proved decisive. In turn, Wiggins and Cavendish bettered Ukrainian duo Lyubomyr Polatayko and Volodymyry Rybin courtesy of a better position in the finishing sprint.
