John Wesley will be joining BigElf with Mike Portnoy this fall as guest guitarist on their European tour!
The John Wesley Band will be on tour soon supporting Flying Colors (Neal Morse, Steve Morse, Casey McPherson, Dave LaRue, Mike Portnoy) in Europe.
John Wesley & Band on Tour Now!
Classic Rock Magazine recently premiered the new lyric video for the song, "Mary Will" off the new album, Disconnect.
The new John Wesley album, 'Disconnect' will be released March 31, 2014 in Europe/UK and April 1 in the US on InsideOut Music!
Disconnect is the long awaited new studio album from John Wesley. It features 10 songs, including a guest performance by Alex Lifeson of Rush on 'Once a Warrior' as well as a mix by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the song 'Window.' The album was produced by Dean Tidey and John Wesley and mixed by Steven Orchard.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year — I hope that you have a fabulous holiday and that next year will be amazing for you!
To finish the album, I recruited a fantastic team: Dean Tidey produced and co-wrote the music on the album and added some of his amazing guitar textures; Mark Prator killed it on the drums; Patrick Bettison, who was involved on the Chasing Monsters album, came back to play bass; one of my favorite artists, Geri X (www.gerixmusic.com), sang some hauntingly beautiful backing vocals; Steven Wilson contributed an amazing mix to the album; a guest player added a legendary guitar solo; and when the album was finally tracked, I brought in Grammy winning mix engineer Steven Orchard (fresh from working with Paul McCartney) from London to Tampa to mix — he added a unique and creative perspective to the music that really brought the songs to life.
The end result is "Disconnect," and I'm pleased to say it will be released worldwide on Inside Out Music/Century Media Records in the spring. Plenty of great things are in the works to support this release — Carl Glover is developing the cover art, a video shoot is in the planning stages, and I'm rehearsing my band for live performances. All of the details of the release are still being worked out and as soon as I know more I'll be in touch.
In the meantime, I've created a new free music download for you to enjoy! This set was recorded in the late part of 2011, when I was asked to perform at the 30th Anniversary celebration for Morrisound Studio in Tampa, FL. I have a long history at Morrisound, and Tom and Jim Morris were instrumental in developing my career and a big part of why I'm still playing and recording today. My first album, "Under the Red and White Sky," was produced by Jim Morris and Mark Kelly and recorded at Morrisound and all through the 80's I recording there with my band, Autodrive. The 30th Anniversary show was recorded live, and, in true Morrisound fashion, sounds amazing. They were kind enough to allow me to share the recording from that evening and it's available now.
There are 5 songs on the download: 1 classic; 2 songs off of "Disconnect," a song destined for a future release; and 1 of my favorite covers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed playing the show for so many of my longtime friends!
Please grab the download here, share it with your friends, and enjoy it!
2014 is going to be an eventful year and I can't wait to get out to your neck of the woods to do some shows and perhaps share a frosty cold one (or two).
Again… Happy Holidays and see you in the New Year!

Be My Wife
For the 1919 film starring Harold Lloyd, see Be My Wife (1919 film). For the 1921 film starring Max Linder, see Be My Wife (1921 film).
"Be My Wife" is a song by English musician David Bowie. It was the second single from Low (1977), released on 17 June 1977.

Its presence in Low tones down the electronic feel of the rest of the album. The song also features a more conventional lyric which is closer to a traditional rock song than the more fragmented lyrics elsewhere on that album. The song features a ragtime piano opening, which serves the somewhat retro lyrics some justice, although it is soon set against a backdrop of guitars and drums. The song repeats its lyrics, changing the spacing of the lyrics amongst the song's verse. The song closes simply with a fadeout, as the song returns to the introductory ragtime riff repeating indefinitely, with the rest of the band playing behind it.
"Be My Wife" became the first new Bowie release since "Changes" to fail to break into the UK chart. It was frequently played live on the various tours after its release and Bowie is said to have repeatedly announced this song during live performances as "one of my favourites," as may be seen or heard in such concert footage or audio recordings.
Music videoEdit
"Be My Wife" apparently was Bowie's first official video since "Life on Mars?". The video is in fact rather similar: Bowie stands alone against a white backdrop singing the song alone. However, Stanley Dorfman's new clip featured a Bowie in make-up and clothing influenced by Buster Keaton and giving an irreverent, detached performance on a guitar, which does gel with the candid feeling generated by the song.
Track listingEdit
"Be My Wife" – 2:55
"Speed of Life" – 2:45
Production creditsEdit
David Bowie: lead vocals, lead guitars, pump bass
Carlos Alomar: rhythm guitar
George Murray: bass
Dennis Davis: drums
Roy Young: pianos
Brian Eno: synthesizers
Live versionsEdit
A live version was recorded during the Isolar II Tour for the Stage album, but was not released until 2005 on the remastered re-release of Stage. Another live performance of the song, from later in the same 1978 tour, was included on the live album Welcome to the Blackout, released in 2018.
A live version from Earls Court, London on 1 July 1978 (1978-07-01), was released on the semi-legal album RarestOneBowie in 1994.
A live performance filmed in Dublin in November 2003 during the A Reality Tour can be viewed on the DVD and is included on the corresponding album.
Other releasesEdit
The song appeared on the following compilation albums:
Sound + Vision box set (1989)
Bowie: The Singles 1969-1993 (1993)
It was released as a picture disc in the RCA Life Time picture disc set.
Momus performed a cover version for his 2015 album Turpsycore.
Max Lorentz released a version for his 2011 album Kiss You In The Rain - Max Lorentz Sings David Bowie.

The Serrekunda Mosque Road has been one of the most fettered road. Its renovation though heartening to many has raised many eye brows when work on this major access road slowed. Many readers have raised the issue pointing out that the rains are fast approaching.
When Foroyaa enquired from the managing director of the national roads authority on the slow progress of the work and to know what efforts are put in place for the road to be ready as soon as possible, he said there have been attempts in the past to repair that road but these attempts yielded little result as it doesn't last long. Hence the National Road Authority ( N. R. A ) has come up with a policy to use reinforced concrete i.e. concrete with steel bars within which they think will last and drivers will be free from getting stuck during the rains.
"We deeply apologize to the vehicle owners, drivers, passers-by and the people of the area and call on them to have patience, it is just a matter of time and very soon the contractor will finish the work, the main problem was granite that is coming from Senegal and at times we find it difficult to cross from the ferry service therefore now these days we have arranged with G.P.A so that any time our lorries come, thet can cross easily.
The deplorable state of the road has often led to traffic congestion. Vehicle owners and drivers who ply that road have often lamented how their vehicles have been damaged due to poor state of the road. It seems the previous government turned a deaf ears to the cries of the commuters of that road, but recently it seems the new authorities of national road authority are marking efforts to repair the road. This effort though a good one but it seems progress is very slow. With the imminent fall of the rains, commuters are worried before the rains begin.

Undermining whistleblower protection
To undermine this critical piece of legislation would be a grave disservice to a justice system that had in the past always struggled when it came to heavily politicised cases.
2 June 2015, 8:32am
The Gozo 'works for votes' case has lifted the lid on more than just an alleged case of misuse of public funds; it has also exposed the way in which partisan politics continues to undermine justice in this country.
The case revolves around allegations that the Gozo ministry had authorised, supplied materials and (in some cases) paid for private construction works before the last election. Anthony Debono – husband of former Gozo minister Giovanna Debono and former head of the ministry's Construction and Maintenance Unit – has since been charged with misappropriation of funds.
Joe Cauchi, the main witness in the case, came forward with details of the racket only after monies due to him for said works were not paid. This renders him an accomplice to the alleged crime; but it also renders him eligible to the provisions of the Whistleblower's Act, which came into force in 2013.
Cauchi is in fact the first witness to whom this legislation has been applied. But he is by no means the first person to receive State protection in exchange for testimony in a case.
Before the enactment of the whistleblower law, the standard procedure in such cases was for the President (on advice from the Prime Minister) to recommend a Presidential pardon. Past beneficiaries included Joseph Fenech (aka Zeppi l-Hafi), implicated in the attempted assassination of Richard Cachia Caruana in 1994; and George Farrugia, the middle-man in the oil procurement scandal that rocked the Gonzi administration before the 2013 election.
All three cases were heavily politicised, and it is worth remembering the different positions taken by the two political parties at the time. In the Zeppi l-Hafi case, the then PN government had deplored Opposition leader Alfred Sant's repeated calls for Zeppi l-Hafi's pardon to be withdrawn. Significantly, it also accused the Opposition of seeking to undermine the institutions that guarantee justice in this country.
The Farrugia case followed a similar pattern. The ongoing parliamentary committee hearings have been characterised by Labour MPs questioning the validity of Farrugia's pardon, given the inconsistencies in his testimony to date. The Nationalist Party (now in Opposition) reacted by accusing Labour of attempting to sabotage the machinery of justice.
In the present case, the roles have been reversed. Again, the issue revolves around politics: and again, we observe how political parties use their own interests as a yardstick by which the justice system is to operate.
The 'works for votes' issues has undeniable implications for the Nationalist Party, and also for its leader Dr Simon Busuttil. Cauchi has testified to having met Busuttil in 2013 to discuss the issue; contradicting the PN leader's earlier claims to complete ignorance of the matter.
In response, Busuttil has fired from two separate cannons simultaneously. On one level, he accused the Justice ministry of using the Whistleblower's Act as a "political weapon against political opponents". On another, he filed a judicial protest formally requesting Cauchi's State protection as a witness to be withdrawn.
"His protection as a so-called whistleblower hinges on his slander against the PN and myself as party leader," Busuttil said. "The more he lies about us, the more likely he is to get paid for illegal works he admits to have performed."
This multi-pronged attack on the whistleblower is unwarranted for several reasons. Not least, it is unnecessary. Contrary to widespread perception (and unlike the Presidential pardon afforded to Fenech and Farrugia), the Whistleblower's Act does not fully exculpate any whistleblower from involvement in criminal activity. The law itself makes this clear: in cases where the whistleblower "was the perpetrator or accomplice in the improper practice reported" the court shall "take into due account the fact that the disclosure was made by such person" and "the punishment of such whistleblower may be mitigated or remitted".
This means that Cauchi may still face sanctions for his role in the alleged crime. As such, it is unfair to use his involvement against him at this stage.
Busuttil is however perfectly free to question the veracity of Cauchi's testimony. The conferment of State protection is not in itself a guarantee that the resulting testimony will be Gospel truth. Ironically, it was the Zeppi l-Hafi case – in which the courts rejected the State witness's version of events – that had hammered this point home.
What is regrettable about Busuttil's intervention is that it took the form of an attack on the Whistleblower's Act itself, in what is effectively its maiden case. Even in the event that his misgivings prove justified, this legislation already caters for the possibility of a whistleblower providing false testimony. And again, this stands in stark contrast to the Presidential pardon system in force before.
This alone illustrates the importance of the law in question. It provides answers to questions that, in previous cases, proved unanswerable: for instance, under what circumstances protection may be withdrawn.
To undermine this critical piece of legislation would be a grave disservice to a justice system that had in the past always struggled when it came to heavily politicised cases. This may well serve the interests of the political parties involved… but it clearly does not serve the interests of justice itself.


ültje is a leading brand in the market for peanuts and nut specialities. 95% of consumers in Germany know and love the innovative brand.
The history of the company, which manufactures the traditional brand, stretches back to 1867 with the entry of Russell KG in Emden's trade register.
The company belonging to the founder Alfred Russell was initially in business as an import and wholesale agent. From 1949 onwards, Russell's followers were the first to roast peanuts in Emden. They sold them under the brand name 'ültje'.
In 1966, they cooperated with the Oetker Group to which they belonged from 1985 to 1997. In the year 2000, ültje was integrated into Europe's biggest nut group, 'The Nut Company', which in turn merged with Intersnack in 2008 to form the 'Intersnack-Group'.
In the 140 year history of the company, the healthy snack was not just a hit in Germany – today, the nuts are also available in Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Slovenia. The nut's TV commercial became well remembered due to its catchy jingle: Who doesn't know the famous ültjemann with his street vendor's tray and the song 'Just standing here and singing…'? The first TV commercial with the cult figure from 1989 made the healthy snack better known. In 1996, even the TV presenter Stefan Raab sang the well known song and adopted a part in the advertising campaign.
As a healthy energy provider among snacks, nothing can surpass the well-loved kernels. What would a party or a film evening be without the enjoyable snack sensation? The ültje brand offers an attractive and modern range of nut specialities to the lovers of crunchy kernels and those who want to be. The range will be continually expanded to include new, interesting products. In the meantime, the well-loved classics – roasted and salted peanuts – have been joined by other tasty varieties: roasted without oil, unsalted peanuts as well as nut mixes in different compositions and flavours. At the highest level of quality, snacks from ültje are perfect for every occasion and taste!
You have a question or you are interested in a product of the ültje product world?

AWE plc complies with ONR Improvement Notice
The Office for Nuclear Regulation has informed Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) plc that it is satisfied AWE has complied with an Improvement Notice following the completion of structural repairs to a manufacturing facility at Aldermaston.
AWE has now complied with the Improvement Notice issued in November 2012 following its discovery of unexpected corrosion to structural steelwork in the uranium manufacturing facility building at its Aldermaston site.
ONR took enforcement action as it considered that AWE had failed to make and implement adequate arrangements for the examination, inspection and maintenance of the building, thereby potentially exposing its workers and others to risks to their health and safety.
Having been served the Improvement Notice, AWE suspended normal operations, under management arrangements, and began a programme of structural inspections to determine the extent of the issue and develop suitable repair techniques.
With progress regularly monitored by ONR's civil engineering specialist inspectors, permission was granted for repair work to begin in June 2013.
The Improvement Notice placed four requirements on AWE:
Complete the inspection of the building.
Repair the building to an acceptable standard.
Carry out a review to identify lessons learnt.
Based on lessons learnt, carry out a review of the Plant Maintenance Schedule for the facility in question.
While items 1, 3 and 4 were completed by the original deadline of 31 December 2013, AWE applied to ONR for an extension to complete the repair works. ONR is now satisfied that the structural repairs have been completed to an acceptable standard ahead of the revised May 2015 deadline.

Honayawas or Farmer's Brother (c. 1730 – 1814) was a Seneca Chief, active member of the Six Nations, elected War Chief, translator, and noted orator who fought and negotiated with both the United States and British before, during, and after the American Revolution.

He was a signatory of the Treaty of Big Tree in 1797, and the Treaty of Buffalo Creek in 1802 which sold Little Beard's reservation to Oliver Phelps, Isaac Bronson, and Horatio Jones.

Career
During the French and Indian War he may have fought in the disastrous Battle of the Monongahela with Braddock in 1755. During Pontiac's Rebellion he participated in the Devil's Hole Massacre in 1763.

When the Six Nations dissolved in 1777 over disagreements on allegiances during the American revolution Farmer's Brother sided with the British along other Senecas. After the war, however, he maintained friendly relations with the victorious colonials.

While previously very active as a war leader, Farmer's Brother became more heavily involved in the treaty making process with the Americans after the British signed the Treaty of Paris in 1783. In the treaty the British surrendered to the Americans several territories East of the Mississippi River, however they did this without the knowledge or consent of their Six Nations allies who still considered themselves the rightful owners of this land. The treaty did not include any mention of the Nations the British had made alliances with and left the responsibility of negotiating peace with them to the newly formed United States Government. This, coupled with previous instances of failed negotiations between the United States government and the Six Nations, pressured the Americans into action to avert more conflicts. The American statesman Timothy Pickering was appointed to position of commissioner for the Haudenosaunee by George Washington with the purpose of establishing a lasting peace between both nations. On October 14, 1794 Pickering met with the first group of representatives of the Six Nations at Buffalo Creek. A group of 500 Oneidas peoples arrived at the council grounds to voice their concerns and Farmer's Brother was among them. He acted as both the translator and orator for this group, delivering an opening address on behalf of the Chiefs where he articulated their grievances, requests, and demands. In the following days as more groups arrived, including delegations from the Seneca Nation led by Chiefs Red Jacket and Cornplanter, Farmer's Brother continued to take part in the negotiation process while Pickering heard the concerns of other Chiefs before they settled on an agreement. Ultimately Pickering, on behalf of the United States government, offered to restore some territory that had been taken from the Six Nations and promised a $4,500 annuity payment would be provided from United States to Six Nations in perpetuity to be spent on "clothing, domestic animals, implements of husbandry, and other utensils suited to their circumstances." After more deliberation when the Treaty was finally agreed upon on November 11, 1794 Farmer's Brother was one of the 50 Chiefs to sign. The treaty did more than settle the tensions between the two Nations it also made the American government recognize the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the Haudenosaunee as equally valid as their own.

In 1792 he was one of a group of chiefs who visited Philadelphia, possibly to be present at the signing of the Agreement with the Five Nations. While in Philadelphia he was presented with a silver medallion by George Washington. from then on he wore it constantly around his neck, and was often heard to say that he would lose it only when he lost his life. In 1794 he participated in a Grand Council at Niagara where he is reported to have given a three-hour speech which unfortunately has not survived. The same year he was a signatory of the Treaty of Canandaigua.

Farmer's Brother delivered what is considered his most famous speech on the 21st of November 1798 at Genesee River in the newly formed New York State. His speech was presented alongside one from his contemporary, another notable Seneca Chief Red Jacket, before an assembled congregation of Chiefs from the Six Nations as well as other onlookers interested in hearing the esteemed speaker orate. In his speech, Farmer's Brother spoke on behalf of two American agents, Jasper Parrish and Horatio Jones, who had been captured by, and worked with, the Six Nations closely before eventually being adopted by them. Farmer's Brother requested that the two interpreters be granted a (2 mile/3 kilometer) plot of land for their contributions to the Nations and their continued loyalty after the war. The speech was considered remarkable by onlookers for Farmer's Brother's eloquence and the use of the line "the Great spirit spoke to the whirlwind and it was still" which had a resounding impact on many present. At this time, however, without the states' approval  it was not possible to transfer any land belonging to Nations to private owners. Because of this the address was transcribed and sent to the New York legislature where the proposition was eventually approved.

During the War of 1812 he fought on the side of the United States despite his advanced age. He participated in the Battle of Fort George in 1813, and in the Battle of Lundy's Lane in 1814. Following that battle a story is related that an Indian allied with the British (variously Chippewa or Mohawk) came to the Seneca saying he was deserting. He was identified as a spy, and Farmer's Brother said to him "here are my rifle, my tomahawk, and my scalping knife: take your choice by which you will die." The spy chose the rifle and indicated he wanted to be shot through the heart (or head), so Farmer's Brother immediately pointed his rifle there and killed him.

Personal
Farmer's Brother has been described as
His exact birthdate is unknown, 1716, 1718, or 1732 have also been suggested.

Farmer's Brother was a cousin (or half-brother) of Hiokatoo, who married Mary Jemison. According to Jemison "it was through the influence of Farmer's Brother that I became Hiokatoo's wife." In the negotiations preliminary to the Treaty of Big Tree Farmer's Brother supported Jemison's request that a section of land which had been promised to her be set aside as a reservation. Although opposed by Red Jacket, Farmer's Brother won the day and the  Gardeau Reservation was set aside for her following her description.

It has been recounted that despite his name, Farmer's Brother was generally opposed to the practice of farming along with other conventions that settlers attempted to impress on his people. He alongside Red Jacket resisted the encroachment of European missionaries into their territory and stood firmly against the missionaries attempts to indoctrinate the Seneca people into their faith. Farmer's Brother is also said to have died never having tried alcohol, showing disdain for it and abstaining from it out of principle.

Death
Farmer's Brother died of natural causes on an unspecified date in the autumn of 1814. Out of respect for his character and contributions the 5th Infantry Regiment buried him with full military honors in Buffalo, New York. In March 1915 to make way for the expanding city his body and grave, alongside others, were moved to Forest Lawn Cemetery (Buffalo). During the process of exhuming his grave a brass tablet was discovered with his initials on it but it was lost in the moving process.

Name
The name Honayawas is said to have a "vulgar meaning". It has been variously spelled Honanyawus, Onayawos, Ouayawos, Honayewus, etc.

He is said to have been given the name "Farmer's Brother" by George Washington. Washington wanted to make agriculture respectable among the Native Americans and in conversation with Honayawas indicated that he himself was a farmer, and called him a brother. Honayawas was proud of meeting Washington and adopted the name.

This chapter focuses on the right to free speech. It argues that it is a mistake to reduce free speech to freedom of expression which puts the individual at the centre of discussion and makes free speech a matter of their more or less unlimited right to express themselves. Free speech is better seen as a vital human good, which is why individuals have a right to it and why that right has certain built-in limits that vary with a society's history and circumstances. Applying this to hate speech, the chapter shows why it deserves to be limited in the interest of the common good and why the limits are best defined in local terms.

Thomas Cook's Royal globetrotting guide
The Queen must have air miles to die for, after flying to 129 different countries during her illustrious reign.
Thanks to the advent of air travel Queen Elizabeth II is arguably one of the most widely travelled monarchs in history.
In fact the Queen actually succeeded to the throne, while on a tour of Kenya, a trip which had set the standard for a woman who would spend a great deal of her time during the next 60 years travelling the world, meeting her subjects and representing the UK on both state and commonwealth visits.
Strangely despite being so well travelled the Queen, has never had a holiday in Rhodes or like a huge number of her subjects enjoyed cheap holidays to Greece.
We "commoners" may never be as well travelled as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, but it's easier than you think to visit some of her favourite destinations; and maybe Her Royal Highness might even think about Kos holidays or a Greece Holiday 2012 like the rest of us!
Canada - Most visited Commonwealth destination by the Queen
Like the Mounties, Princess Elizabeth got her man and the Queen and Prince Phillip made their first appearance in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta in 1951. It was only eight years later that the Queen returned and toured every province and territory of the country; Buckingham Palace officials and the Canadian government dubbed this the "Royal Tour".

A Guest Post by Michael C from On Violence.
I know what you're thinking, "No, really, what can I learn about blogging from the army?" The U.S. Army isn't exactly known for its literary excellence. And ten years ago, I would have agreed with you. But now, in the midst of the blogging tidal wave, I can tell you that military blogging–milblogging as its known–is a growing, thriving niche.
Since the beginning of the Iraq war to today, Soldiers–with and without controversy–have blogged about their experiences. For the first time in history, Soldiers on the front lines can tell their stories to people thousands of miles away in real time, and even influence the political debate.
As a milblogger, I've learned plenty from how-to sites like Problogger, (by starting here). At the same time, I've applied a lot of tips and tricks from the military to my blogging. So without any further ado, here are 9 tips all bloggers can (and can't) learn from the military.
First, you need to have a bottom line. Finish this statement: "I contend that…" Bam, that's your thesis.
Too many blog posts are aimless. In the Army, we have a point to every operation called the mission statement. It ensures that every patrol has a purpose. Look at this post on TwiTip. The writer isn't arguing something complex, he just wants to provide 5 new ways to use twitter. This is his point, and it sharpens the whole post.
Time constraints force commanders to prioritize the information they see, and they demand the best stuff first. When you are planning a movement of hundreds, or thousands, of men in battle, then seconds can mean the difference between life or death. Generals and Colonels want the point, and they want it up front.
Military planners learn early on to tell their bosses the bottom line up front, or as we call it, BLUF. Take that thesis/point/bottom-line you just determined, and put that in your first or second paragraph.
Your blogging should be the same way. Instead of embracing the freedom of not having an editor, and putting every word you're thinking on the page, cut, cut, cut. Take your first draft and cut it by 10%. Then cut some more.
Let's keep going with my analogy about the Army Colonel. Let's say that, as one of his intelligence officers, you tell him that you expect an enemy attack in the next 24 hours. With such a bold assertion, he is going to demand one thing: proof.
So after you put out your BLUF, give your evidence. Find links, quote sources, give examples. Tom Ricks was a preeminent war journalist, and now he is one of the biggest milbloggers. In this post, he sets out a bold assertion, then provides several quotes and analysis to prove his points. He puts his BLUF in the first paragraph, then spends the rest of the time backing it up.
Most Army Colonels love peppering their staff with questions, so good briefers plan ahead for them. For example, if you say that your men will run out of water, you should be able to answer when and why. The good subordinate plans ahead to counter what his boss will ask.
As a blogger, when your post is finished, ask yourself, what will my detractors say? What will they argue against me? Figure that out, and then counter it in your blog post. In the Army, we call it "war-gaming" and we usually use it against the enemy. Smart planners use it on their boss as well. Your blog won't please everybody, but you can at least figure what they will argue against you–especially if you have a controversial or political blog.
A mistaken order can spell the death of an Army unit, literally. In the "Charge of the Light Brigade," immortalized in verse by Tennyson, a misheard order resulted in the tragic deaths of over a hundred cavalry men. In the military, accuracy is supreme.
Your blogging will suffer from careless mistakes too. Punctuation errors or typos will make your prose seem amateurish. Even worse, a mis-written title or thesis could rebound around the blogosphere if it doesn't mean what you think it does.
I have a co-blogger, and we both read everything we put on our blog, and our first major guest post still had a typo in the bio. So embarrassing. If you don't have a co-blogger, always read everything you publish two or three times.
The Army loves acronyms, from DFACs to IEDs to EOD to UAVs to METT-TC and so on. With acronyms and jargon, I can write posts that are virtually unreadable to the average person. Luckily, I have a non-military brother who keeps me in check, but not everyone has this.
As your blog moves from its niche–finance, business, self-help, milblogging, whatever–your writing needs to move away from jargon and technical slang. This will open your blog to new audiences. Also, when guest posting on a new site, use their jargon or style.
A few points ago, I argued that we could all keep our writing short and concise. Too often, though, the Army mistakes clear and concise for short and simple. The difference is subtle but important. You can keep your arguments clean, but still use complex words. You can keep your writing concise, but still write compound sentences.
Army language suffers, like all bureaucracies, from a lack of creativity. Always look for ways to spice up your language. And if you hail from a bureaucracy, like the US Army, avoid your own bureaucratic instincts. A fellow milblogger, Starbuck, received a safety gram before Halloween warning that children in the Fort Bragg area will be conducting trick-or-treating operations." Sigh.
The military embraces technology, but it embraces some technologies a little too much. Email is one example. A couple years back Darren went over how he kicked his email addiction by reorganizing his inbox. I wish that post were required reading in the military. Whenever possible, avoid email when doing business. If you can call, do so. If you can meet up in person, do that instead. Email is a tool, not a way of life.
And if I could give fellow bloggers one takeaway, it would be to check out the milblogosphere. If you want the low down about Soldiers experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq, why not get it from the people who are there? Although most milblogs started out as a way to stay in touch with family, many have morphed into foreign policy and military hubs of knowledge. Start with milblogging.com and see what this niche can offer you.
Milibloggers, I never heard of this niche, but it does make sense..I wish that blogging had existed 25 years ago when I was a soldier. It would be great to look at my blogs from my time serviing the country.
fyi your links to OnViolence are not working..
The link to "The Army writing guide" is broken.
I like how you tied this with the Army. I was in the Army. They use tons of jargons.
The one thing I like to add is take action regardless how you feel…Execute!
Wow hey some times your own lingo is the way to go though. A tribe building sort of thing.
Plus what about the "Be all you can Be" slogan the US has?
Plus I agree with the bureaucracy statement I have also seen the outside thinking (which gets them into trouble) developed from the army.
I worked with some West Point folks once and it taught me a lot about preconceived notions and the army. Great post and advice. Thank you.
Great ideas about how to really "crisp" up a post.
like your jargon point. My wife is a nurse and when my daughter was in the hospital I would have to read my wifes blog posts to "dumb" them down and temper the medical jargon so grandparents could understand what was going on.
On that blog I wrote to inform friends and family what was going on at the hospital and I had to run everything through the "is this understandable for Grandma" filter.
Very informative topic however as I read the introduction I was placed in a defense position when I read "The U.S. Army isn't exactly known for its literary excellence".
While I did not server in the U.S. Army, I did serve 15 years in the U.S. Air Force and your statement comes across as a bit harsh when it comes to writing skills… Just my opinion.
I'm Michael C's co-blogger, and I wanted to repsond to some of the comments.
@ Adam – I think blogs are a fantastic research for our Soldiers. I'm we could teach people about the niche.
@ Josh – Nice anecdote. I'm happy our post seems to have resonated with past Soldiers.
@ Darren – You're right, it should be a rule as much as a guideline. BUt the bigger you want your tribe, the less specific you need your langauge to be.
Relating the army with blogging, that is honestly one thing that I have never seen done before. However, it was done beautifully! Great post Michael C. and thanks for posting it Darren.
@Adam- Definitely check out the milblogging niche, its a place that is thriving but not many know about.
For Adam and all others, the link to my site is http://www.onviolence.com, I'm working with Darren to get the link fixed.
@Josh- Agree completely with action, action, action. We get distracted all the time, and sometimes putting your nose to the grindstone to get work done is all it takes.
@Justin- Perfect story to illustrate the problems with overusing jargon. Thanks.
@Steven- No offense was intended to the Armed Forces, especially since I am apart of it, it is just that as a group we really are not complimented much for our military abilities.
@I-Blogger- Thanks for the compliment.
Cut, cut, cut! That's exactly I'm doing right now with my draft. Love the ideas and am working hard to write mistake free posts.
I suspect having bloggers posting from the front lines is going to change more than we can imagine… for the better.
hmmm army and blogging, who would think you can bring those two together. You did it beautifully Michael!
This is a great post – I like the analogy of the army, as blogging takes a lot of discipline and hard work to get it up and running properly. I'm also going to check out the 'avoiding e-mail addiction' post…once I've checked all my accounts!
Thanks Micheal that was a great post!
It was a very different post but I really liked it.
PS As a mom, I want to thank you and your buddies for what you do for my children and me. Pass that word along, if you would. It's appreciated!
PSS Is the Art of War still considered mandatory reading for the military?
I like the comment that short and concise does not mean simple. I sometimes feel like I'm extreme with my sentences when there are points to be made. This give me comfort in knowing that I'm on point as long as I don't overdo it.
Michael, What an excellent post. This was very timely for me, and will help me immensely. Such practical advice, yet often overlooked. I will print this out and post it by my computer. And I'm going to check into how to keep my emails under control. Email has become entirely too much a way of life. Thanks for all this info!
Michael, good job with blogging and joining the battlefield of ideas. I think blogging, transparency and discussion by the armed forces and those within them is a good thing as sunshine is the best disinfectant for nefarious behavior.
I find it interesting that the latest video released by Wikileaks has not been syndicated and discussed on many milblogs. I was wondering if you would comment and perhaps address it directly on your site On Violence.
The military said that standard engagement procedures were followed. During the encounter 10+ Iraqis and 2 Reuters journalists were terminated. After the initial assault which killed almost almost all the intended targets; one of the Reuters journalists was wounded, lying on the ground unable to flee and unarmed. As the video clearly shows, rather that capture and interrogate the suspected insurgent (the Reuters journalists camera was misidentified as an RPG) the Apache helicopter opened fire again and killed him.
Is this standard operating procedure like the armed forces asserted? If so then are there encounters like this happening on a daily, weekly or monthly basis?
I like your point about keeping your writing concise and avoiding jargon. One way of keeping your writing concise is to read out what you typed. You may find that you could shorten your sentences if you tried reading them aloud.
@ Trace – Please check out the milblog we referenced by Starbuck called wings over iraq. He is a pilot, and he covered the topic in depth.
Beautiful Tips – I've been trying to figure out a new way to write that will make visitors of my blog more happy – I think you've done it, your really the "problogger".
I think you forgot a witty concept. Comparing the blogging art of military to milbloggers was a pretty smart concept. What caught my attention to read this blog was the concept of the do's and don't's of military influenced blogging….smart.
I meant to write (but got cut off while writing the other day) that this was one of the best items I've ever read about writing, anywhere. Excellent, to the point. My problem is waffle. I've striven to learn to cut it. I showed the post to several people I teach who have trouble with the same issue and also with organising their ideas in a logical manner and expressing them without using overly-complicated language, and they really appreciated it. Thanks again.
It is good to have the opportunity to read a good quality article with useful data on topics that plenty are interested on. The fact that the data indicated are all first hand on actual experiences even assist more. Continue doing what you do as we love reading your work.
been looking for a post like this all night to finish my work, cheers!

A Dictator Without Body and Mind – caste censorship in India
3 February 2016 3 June 2021 / Witness
by Garima Raghuvanshy and M. S. Chaitra
Rohith Vemula committed suicide on the 17th of January. Since then protests have erupted across the country. International commentators, academics, and university students have raised their voices, demanding action and exclaiming horror against the caste system. Even though it has been abolished officially, intellectuals, Ambedkarites, and other activists assert that caste discrimination lives on in India. It persists, they argue, despite the fact that successive governments have introduced several laws and amendments that are specifically aimed at bettering the lot of the so called lower castes, and bringing an end to caste discrimination. Thus, the state effort to abolish caste and caste discrimination continues, and gains additional momentum every so often. The most recent example of this was the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill. The original bill was passed in 1989, the amendment was tabled last year. It was passed in the Lok Sabha in August 2015, while most opposition MPs were boycotting the parliament, and in the Rajya Sabha in December, while the house had been taken hostage by protests, this time against the death of a Dalit man in Punjab. Protest notwithstanding, the Rajya Sabha passed the bill unanimously, within minutes, and without debate. Let us consider some of the changes this amendment brings to the 1989 PoA (SC/ST) Act. Section 3 of the 1989 Act lists 'Offences as Atrocities', i.e., it lists those acts which will be considered caste-atrocities and will be punishable by law. The 4th part the amendment to section 3 is as follows:
Whoever, not being a member of a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe,-
(t) Destroys, damages or defiles any object generally known to be held sacred or in high esteem by members of the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes.
Explanation.––For the purposes of this clause, the expression "object" means and includes statue, photograph and portrait;
(u) By words either written or spoken or by signs or by visible representation or otherwise promotes or attempts to promote feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will against members of the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes;
(v) By words either written or spoken or by any other means disrespects any late person held in high esteem by members of the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes … .
The 1989 SC/ST Act was aimed at curbing 'caste atrocities', the alleged reason for Vemula's suicide. The 2015 amendment took this initiative several steps further, but in which direction? Let us consider the ramifications of only one of the three inclusions listed above. In keeping with (v), since the passing of this bill, Indian citizens are legally required to not disrespect certain persons based on their caste and vital status. How will this play out in Indian society?
Certain Kannada scholars have expressed serious objections to the writing of Valmiki, well known author of the Valmiki Ramayana. There are also several academics and intellectuals who have made careers out of criticising the 'hegemony' of the Valmiki Ramayana while praising the 'subversiveness' of other retellings. In Karnataka there also exist many ST jatis who consider Valmiki to be their Jati's Guru. As per the 2015 amendment, if one criticises Valmiki's writings for being a carrier of oppression, one may well be booked under this act. Similarly, a criticism of Krishna (assuming that he is a late person) can cause offence to the Golla community, and speaking ill of Vedvyasya can cause offence to the Besta community. Additionally, considering that rationalists have energetically insulted every guru from Shankara through Madhava to Ramanuja, this amendment might also make it more difficult to come out on the street calling gurus (those revered by SC/ST communities) 'god-men', 'swindlers' and 'con-men' without subsequently being accused of violating this act. No longer can those who decry the 'hegemony', inhumanity, and oppressiveness of 'mainstream' Hinduism continue to denounce and criticize Hindu deities and sages without a possibility of legal consequences. This is absurd considering that according to the story of the caste system, it is precisely this 'mainstream' Hinduism that has imposed its dictates onto those at the margins.
The absurdity does not end there. We may well be on our way to formulating a list of individuals who cannot be spoken of except in praises. Since the amendment does not specify what constitutes 'disrespect' to a late person held in high regard by members of SC or ST communities, this may be the only route to safety. The choice, then, would be between speaking highly of departed SC/ST leaders, or not speaking of them at all. Unfortunately, even this option is not foolproof, since the law does not define criteria to determine which deceased person, whether SC/ST or not, qualifies for the category 'late person held in high esteem by members of the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes'. We have to conclude that the only foolproof way out is to either speak highly of all late persons who could have been held in high esteem by SC/ST communities, or not to speak of them at all. If this amendment was only absurd and not dangerous, we could brush it aside as another attempt at pandering by our politicians. Unfortunately, the absurdity of the law and its danger go hand in hand. We are forced to wonder, how could our law-makers pass such an amendment and make it into a law? We are forced to wonder how they could not see the fundamental contradiction this amendment poses to civil freedoms guaranteed by the constitution itself.
How can a law that disallows one to insult late individuals held in high esteem by SC/ST communities be considered a contradiction to basic civil freedoms? Isn't humiliation and insult the most widespread and invisible form of caste-discrimination? As the story goes, indeed it is. But consider the case of a beloved Indian – M. K. Gandhi. Gandhi was a leader of many people and many communities. However, even as Indian school children learn to refer to him as "Mahatma" and "father of the nation", even as his statues are erected in public spaces and government buildings around the globe, Gandhi is also called a pervert and a child molester, a lackey of the British, the cause for partition, and an old man with a walking stick, too feeble to take revolutionary measures in India's struggle for independence. Whatever be the merits of Gandhi and his critics, the man on our currency has been amongst the many, many, prominent Indians who are revered by some and reviled by others. There are no laws that cordon him off as a deceased person held in high esteem by certain communities and hence above criticism. Indeed, until the 21st of December there were no laws that cordoned off anyone in India as above criticism, whether dead or alive. The creation of an SC/ST dead leaders' club, which is given immunity from criticism, is a highly disturbing development.
Several individuals in India have been held in high esteem by some community or the other, or indeed, by all or almost all communities. Amongst the many dead leaders of India, Indira Gandhi is one of the better known women. Like all our leaders, she too has many titles and epithets, of which Iron Lady and Mother India are only two. Loved as she may have been by some sections in India, it was this Iron Lady who imposed systematic press censorship in India. During the Emergency enacted by Mrs. Gandhi between 1975 and 1976, newspapers were barred from reporting speeches by certain opposition leaders, freedoms guaranteed by the Indian constitution were suspended, and the press was heavily censored. As school children, it was during history classes that we were taught about this period of crisis in India. Of the many images in our text-book, one remains fresh in our minds – that of the front page of the Indian Express, entirely black, every single word of reportage made invisible by censors. Mrs. Gandhi had taken the first steps towards dictatorship – imposing censorship, disallowing criticism of herself, her government, and her policies, in other words, silencing voices of opposition. Thankfully, she did not succeed in becoming a dictator, though Indira Gandhi came as close as anyone in India has come to succeeding.
Now, forty years later, some of our leaders are again being held above the net of public dissent and criticism. This time, however, censorship is being imposed by our entire political apparatus.
When people are raised to a hallowed ground far above criticism, the ideas they put forward and fought for also leave the arena of debate and discussion. It is even more dangerous that the criteria for this immunity from criticism are based on caste and vital status. Our parliament has now put into place a law that dictates which ideas are 'sacred' and above dissent based almost solely on the caste of the person expressing them. Such a criterion, enforced by law, is, paradoxically, precisely what the caste system is supposed to be about – a system that enforces caste as the foremost factor in determining the value of a person's words and deeds. It is a perverse state of affairs indeed that this description applies equally to the caste system and to the laws aimed at destroying it. Through the reservation system we have already had 'positive' discrimination based on caste for decades. However, this system applies only to people. With the passing of the SC/ST bill, our politicians have now created a reservation system for ideas. In an urgency to woo the fictitious 'vote bank' our politicians have created a piece of legislation which imposes a ban on our freedom to express ideas and to express dissent.
As Prof. Balagangadhara has said, it is completely unclear why one cannot insult some or other individual. Indeed, it is a cliché to say that even the devis and devas of India are not exempt from acid tongues and angry bhaktas. Surprisingly, the brigade of academicians who have campaigned for freedom of expression after controversies surrounding statements, books, and movies, are tight lipped today. Either it has not occurred to them that sooner or later they will also become victims of the terror that this law can generate, or, they have become parasites on the story of the caste system, without which their academic careers and conference invitations will dry up. In either case, their silence is another indication of their inability to think through events without taking routes prescribed by whatever fashionable ideology is doing the rounds at elite campuses in India and abroad.
This is the state of our intellectuals, whether or not they deserve that name. What about our politicians? In the wake of Rohith Vemula's death, our politicians have begun a wild scramble, each trying to claim the title of 'foremost friend and representative of Dalits'. As they race to microphones at protest sites in Hyderabad, Delhi, and Mumbai, the many Indians who watch from the sidelines are increasingly disillusioned by identity politics, which has progressively torn apart our society and our communities.
As Indians we are more or less aware that our politicians and 'intellectuals' are almost entirely bereft of integrity. However, this instance of their desperate dash for votes should alarm even the most cynical and jaded amongst us – particularly because the manner in which this bill was passed suggests that for our politicians the debate over caste has become a set of common sense maneuvers. In fact, by passing this bill they have made one of these maneuvers, namely, that no debate is possible in the debate over caste, into a law. Our leaders, beloved, dead, SC/ST or general quota, are probably turning in their graves, and we too should be squirming uncomfortably in our chairs.
Quite to the contrary, when the Rajya Sabha passed the SC/ST bill without debate, Derek O'Brien found it important to remark that this bill was passed "unanimously and not in a din." The Deputy Chairman, P. J. Kurien, replied with a smile "How can there be a din? There is perfect calm and tranquility. Everybody is cool. A cool breeze is blowing. I don't know where this breeze is coming from." Is the unanimous, uncontested passing of this bill a "cool breeze" or the calm before a very violent storm? Our politicians, evidently, are quite content in not knowing. We can only hope that the Supreme Court will interfere and test the constitutional validity of such legislations. Until then, however, it is only safe to speak in praises or, to not speak at all.

Lisa Appignanesi's brave memoir explores what happens when grief gives way to anger
"I should have felt sorrow and pity," Appignanesi writes. Instead, she felt rage.
By Marina Benjamin
ART COLLECTION 3/ALAMY
Everyday Madness describes a wild sense of grief
When it finally came, death "smelt strange". There was rot and ash and shit. The lifeless body, devastated by cancer and the chemicals meant to fight it, was not dignified, but "a reprimand", while in the background, "time imploded". Such is the unstable set-up to this memoir of grieving, written after Lisa Appignanesi, in 2015, lost her partner of 32 years. "I should have felt sorrow and pity," she writes. But instead she felt rage.
There was a proximate cause: John's last words to her were needlessly cruel. Perhaps they were the product of his meds-addled mind? Or a weird joke, the kind that just comes out all wrong – a Freud scholar's slip? Or perhaps they sprang from his "reluctant throwback to helpless infancy"? They might easily not have been his last words. They just happened to be. And what he told her, as she washed his soiled pyjamas in the hospital bathroom, was that all she was good for was cleaning shit.
"This is not a romantic tale," she cautions at the start of Everyday Madness, which is not her first reckoning with the human mind, and heart: in the past she has written about "women and the mind doctors" and the "unruly emotion'" of love. Nor is it a Joan Didion-esque chronicle of mischievous magical thinking. The grief it documents is wild in its anger, wayward in dealing with myth and history. Appignanesi felt worthless, "abased" by John's words. She couldn't read; couldn't spend time with anyone outside of a tiny circle of friends: everything grated on her, rang false.
Propelled into a flurry of industry, she embraces the onslaught of paperwork that attends death and piles on commitments relating to work. Still, an "inner madness" strobes her, triggering fury and self-doubt. Unwisely obeying an urge to trawl through John's private correspondence, his computer, his desk, she turns up stuff about his past she would rather not know. Appignanesi's mourning has more in common with the Maenads – who tore their hair and wailed and keened – than with any sanitised grieving you see at funeral parlours. And its fury is directed, above all, at John, for leaving her alone. Loss, in the end, is an abandonment. Appignanesi hates being a widow: "it was a box that might sport a small window, but it was very close to a coffin." The archaic word for widowhood, she tells us, is "viduity", which conveys the idea of being emptied out (she notes that "bereavement" derives from the verb to plunder: this is loss that destroys its victims); and she cites Sylvia Plath quipping that the widow wears death as a dress. It is not that Appignanesi doesn't feel emptied out herself, garbed in mourning. But, in addition, she feels something that doesn't have public (or even literary) legitimacy: a desire for "retaliation".
Grief counsellors, familiar with the rage of the left behind, recommend a steady re-integration into social life, where the fury might dissipate. But everywhere Appignanesi looks she finds her own rage reflected back and amplified. The world seemed to be in the grip of an "explosive rage", with Brexit and Donald Trump stoking the politics of hate, social media teeming with sewer rats and trolls, and newspaper columnists venting spleen. Even #MeToo – a corrective to the way male anger expends itself on women – was itself driven by righteous rage.
Appignanesi is stronger on the ire that contaminates daily life. The vendor at her local fruit and veg stall, for example, who bawls her out for toppling a punnet of berries, causing her eyes to sting with angry tears. In a crowded underground station a red-faced commuter turns on her with a whiplash of invective – "Stop pushing, stupid c***" – and an angry driver gets out of his car to come and thump on her windscreen. These are casual insults, ones the healthy can brush aside, but you feel for Appignanesi because you know that she is already compromised, hobbled by pain. Besides, it is anger of the everyday sort that is currently being politicised. Feminists are fighting back against the way women's anger is typically caricatured and delegitimised, and celebrating the power of collective female anger as a way of flexing socially progressivist muscle. Last year, the American essayist Leslie Jamison used the Tonya Harding biopic to spring-vault into arguing that henceforth she would no longer sublimate her own anger into the more acceptable female complaint of sadness. October brings the publication of Good and Mad, the New York magazine journalist Rebecca Traister's much anticipated analysis of the changing face of female anger.
Appignanesi opts for a tone that is interrogative and historically probing rather than crusading. She quotes Montaigne – "No passion disturbs the soundness of our judgement as anger does" – before delving into the ways that anger and madness have been long allied. The Furies were deranged by anger; the clinically insane were historically locked in chains. Today, intermittent explosive disorder is a mental condition recognised by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). But if wrath is one of the deadly sins, injuring others, ultimately, like envy, it only poisons us. The challenge is to source the right antidote. Inanely, we tell the grieving that time is this antidote – that it heals all wounds. But Appignanesi is after something more rigorous; something that looks more like self-forgiveness.
Her interest in psychoanalysis helps. It takes her back to her father ("the angriest man in my life") then forwards to the nursery, where her grandchild, Manny, undone by the arrival of a younger sibling, does nothing but rage and pinch and bite. Thus does Appignanesi tie her own anger into theories of psychological development and generational succession. To infants – John, infantilised on his hospital bed, or Manny, an actual toddler whose world has collapsed – anger comes naturally, without regret or punishment. It's different for adults, for whom it frequently arrives with self-rebuke. Besides, as Appignanesi, not angry by nature, pithily notes: "I didn't enjoy an emotion that, like an ejaculation, felt as if it would need constant repetition."
Everyday Madness is not without flaws: tighter editing might have checked repetition and trimmed the excessive length given over to the adored grandson. But it is a brave and compelling book none the less. Towards its end, Appignanesi complains that "age erases us". That's as may be, for most. But I suspect, somehow, that this writer will kick back at being so easily rubbed out.

Look at our FS1 children choosing books on Thursday March 28th 2019 from the Book People Bus.
The Book People Bus visited Gwladys Street on Wednesday 5th December 2018. Many children and parents/carers accessed the bus to purchase a range of books. We raised over £120 of books for school.
Many thanks to all who visited the bus.


I have always loved Athirasams that are famous in so many states across India. The knack in making a Athirsamas that are soft to eat, is something one gets with practice. However with the similar ingredients and a different way of making is the Nei appam from Kerala. I first got to eat these in one of our Malayali Friend's home and later in many of the marriages we attended. The ones I loved the best were the ones we got to eat in Guruvayur Temple and I have always wanted to make these at home.
So couple of years back, I had made an instant version of these Nei appams for Ugadi and I am finally writing about the lengthy version this Ugadi!
I am yet to plan anything new for this year's Ugadi, of course the regular dishes will be made. What's your plan for the Ugadi?
Wash and soak the rice for 3 hrs. Then drain and grind to a smooth batter with enough water to grind.
Melt the jaggary and bring to a boil. Remove all impurities if found, sieve and keep it ready.
Once the batter is ready, mix in the jaggary, cardamon powder, banana puree, a pinch of soda.
Mix well and heat the gunta punugulu vessel and grease well with ghee.
Pour one small ladle ful of batter and sprinkle ghee on top. cover with lid and cook in sim.
Check if the side is cooked, then flip on other side and cook for another couple of minutes.
The batter has to be thick, as you will be adding the jaggary, banana puree.
Soda takes care of the softness if the batter was not liquid enough.
This is entirely roasted in lots of ghee.
Though this is cooked in this special vessel, traditionally in temples in parts of Andhra and Tamil Nadu, the batter is are directly poured into hot oil and cooked. It's more like Malpua or you can compare it as liquid batter of Athirasam.

This Performance Artist Examines Gender Roles and Boundaries in 'Rituals of Becoming'
Ghanaian-Togolese artist crazinisT artisT explores the politics of the bodies of gender non-conformists with his new peformance art in Ghana.
Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi, a Ghanaian-Togolese performance artist who performs under the pseudonym, crazinisT artisT, seeks to radically alter the place of performance art in Ghana by using his body to pose uncomfortable questions of his society in creative ways.
"I think performance art is in its renaissance phase, there have been artists, such as Bernard Akoi-Jackson, who have placed performance art on the international scene over the years, before some of us emerged," the provocative artist tells me, in our interview following the opening of his major show involving a female character performed by a man. "Ghana is providing quite a few opportunities for young people to engage with performance, mainly in thanks to the progressive and revolutionary teaching at the department of painting and sculpture, KNUST."
crazinisT artisT, Rituals of Becoming, performance at Gallery 1957. 26 February 2017. Photo by Dennis Akuoku-Frimpong. Courtesy of the artist and Gallery 1957.
His latest show which opened at Gallery 1957 on February 26 titled, Rituals of Becoming, is a profound statement that interrogates assigned gender roles and boundaries; especially of gender non-conformists, how they affect our habits, assumptions and behaviors as well as how inadequate they can be in portraying the complete sphere of human endeavor. In his own words, "I want to put some focus on our sense of belonging and the politics of our Body(s)."
By assuming the character of a young woman, crazinisT artisT seeks to unveil the critical nexuses that form the core of the female character as well as the weight of expectation that accompanies such prescribed gender roles. The artist invited the audience into his intimate space haven where he transformed the gallery with velvet red curtains that mask a network of mirrors. An assortment of skirts, gowns, underwear, purses and shoes layered the white walls—all of which have been worn by the artist over two years, when he began the process of assuming the role or character. "My greatest challenge was 'negotiating with the space.' That might sound funny but in fact I had to make a series of digital simulations, trying to strip the space of conventionality and the traditions of a commercial gallery," he explains. crazinisT artisT, sectioned the theatrical space into various stations such as a bath, dressing table, a wall of photographs and also a video installation comprising a collage where he performed the various stages of becoming.
With his small masculine frame and tightly braided auburn hair, crazinisT artisT performed the rituals of embodying the female form for the audience present at the opening show. The artist led the prying eyes of the audience, right from his majestic walk into the gallery to his thorough bath with a bucket and metal pan, then followed by the very elaborate and carefully crafted act of picking out his outfit from the dozens of attires draping the walls of the gallery.
"I found it interesting how people react to the 'crossing' of 'gendered boundaries,' especially in Ghana."
Although the process of dressing is nothing new, at each point, the audience was riveted to this act. Everyone has their own unique ritual they perform or method they follow to become who they are before they step out to face the world. Yet the audience sought to crack the motives of the artist which appears was to simply provoke a keener interrogation by the audience.
crazinisT artisT is not new to the Ghanaian performance art scene. Over the past few years, he has put on a number of strong performances that have awakened contemporary Ghanaian society to the potential of the art form including pieta-afriCan resurrect at Chale Wote Street Arts Festival 2015 and The Return of the Slaves at Elmina Castle in 2015 as well.
These past performances included physical manifestations of pain and entrapment with red paint, chains, shackles and limited movement. However, for Rituals of Becoming, the feeling of entrapment in more subliminal, as it truly exists in society. The artist is free, yet at the same time, limited by the expectations of society, especially, the strong, patriarchal gaze. Therefore, although the character is surround by choice, he is limited by a specific expectation; to manifest the idea society has of a woman. crazinisT elaborates on the factors that informed his decision as "the taboos, myths, and curses around this 'character-play.'"
[oka-gallery]
"I wanted to explore my exposure to such vulnerabilities and weaknesses as this character, and look at the conditions of marginalized people, importantly the queer gender and non-conformists," he continues. "I found it interesting how people react to the 'crossing' of 'gendered boundaries,' especially in Ghana."
The artist never completes the process of becoming to any specific female look but remains in a cycle of change. Midway through dressing up, crazinisT artisT lay on the floor to admire pictures from the process of assuming the character. "It took me two years to achieve the series of images used in Rituals of Becoming. The images were taken in a specifically designed studio for the convenience of this work, and I began taking them in 2015 when I started my masters (MFA)." He juxtaposed his current form against the studio patriots at various points in his transformation, sometimes mediating on a particular detail like a necklace or lipstick color.
Indeed, cross dressing or drag is not entirely alien to Ghanaian society. During the Apor Festival in Techiman, Ghana, inhabitants of the town engage in cross dressing to mask their identities and engage in social criticism. Also the Winneba Masquerades Festival sees men dress as women in reenactments of colonial masquerade balls. However, the artist does not borrow from these traditions. "During the festivals mentioned, and even in other instances like university hall weeks, cross-dressing is not seen as challenging these norms, but rather is done for the fun of it, entertaining its audience. However, to perform it as part of life becomes much more provocative, confrontational and challenging. It invites different responses, conversations, dialogues and contemplations compared to the other occasions mentioned."
Curated by Amsterdam based international curator Maria Rus Bojan, Rituals of Becoming allows the audience to question their own assertions about gender roles and the rules that govern them as the images of this repetitive process of becoming are embedded in their minds.

Sale of Littlehampton ambulance station 'a lost opportunity'
The decision to sell Littlehampton's ambulance station has been branded 'crazy' and 'a lost opportunity' by one councillor.
Wednesday, 6th October 2021, 4:29 pm
Littlehampton Ambulance Station
But the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) said it simply had no use for the site, though it would 'continue to be involved in discussions' about blue light services in the town.
The ambulance station, off East Street, is listed as 'under offer' by property consultants Flude, with a listing asking for offers in excess of £300,000.
Dr James Walsh, leader of the Liberal Democrats at Arun District Council, has long been an advocate of a 'blue light hub' on the East Street site, bringing together ambulance, police and fire services.
The idea had been part of the county council's One Public Estate project, before being dropped as unviable.
Dr Walsh said: "Littlehampton infrastructure badly needs a new fire station, a functioning 24-hour police station, and an ambulance station, all for a large and increasing East Arun population.
"It makes total economic and logistical sense to combine them on the existing spacious East Street site, under the One Public Estate programme, with great connections via the new roads.
"This crazy decision by SECAmb blows it out of the water, and will probably mean more housing and a great lost opportunity.
"The county and Arun councils need to knock a few heads together and get this scheme rolling again, or it will mean more lost facilities like Littlehampton Hospital."
A spokesman for SECAmb explained that the Make Ready Centre at Tangmere – where staff start and finish their shifts and vehicles are cleaned, restocked and maintained – along with a series of Community Response Posts, meant the East Street site was no longer needed.
He added: "The building no longer meets our operational requirements but we are exploring options for a short-lease replacement and will continue to be involved in discussions with our emergency service partners regarding any blue light collaboration in the town.
"This move frees up part of our old estate for reinvestment in our services."
While a spokesman for Arun District Council said the council had not been made aware of the decision to sell the ambulance station, the county council had been kept in the loop.
A spokesman said both the county and police were looking at alternative options to improve the current site, which includes the county buildings, National Probation Service and Littlehampton Police Station.
