Here is Cliff as many will remember him in a fascinating interview from the archives. His defence of socialism and the revolutionary party is combative and passionate as he answers questions on everything from Northern Ireland to the Labour Party
Your name is not in fact Tony Cliff. Why do you find it useful to use a pseudonym?
I worked for 13 years in illegal conditions in Palestine under British rule and there we had to use pseudonyms, and I think it just became habit forming.
It isn't part of the Bolshevik tradition, this use of pseudonyms?
No, I don't think it came from that, nothing as romantic.
You mentioned Palestine. Would you like to say briefly what your personal background was before settling in this country?
I was born in Palestine in 1917 to a Zionist family, but from very early youth I was disgusted by the terrible conditions of the Arab children. I was from a middle class family with quite good educational opportunities and quite a good standard of living, whereas the Arab children were very poor with no chance of education. I became, very early on, anti-Zionist and anti-imperialist.
You are now best known in this country as one of the leading members of the IS group. Would you like to say what the origins of the group are and what its position is now, and how it is distinguished from other British political groups?
Central to our position is the statement that the emancipation of the working class is the act of the working class – which many only mouth on May Days and other occasions of celebration. This statement is for us the beginning and the end of all our analysis. And if you put the working class at the centre of the arena then socialism cannot be established except through the expression of the potentialities of the working class.
As a group which emphasises the central role of the working class, IS does seem to be a group which has a very large proportion of intellectuals in its membership. Would you like to explain this?
I think that the picture people have about IS from outside is not exactly correct. Even members of IS are sometimes misled about our social composition. Out of about 1,000 members we have just over 200 manual workers and, because they have a base in industry, are much less known in national terms but are much more important for the organisation. It is very bad that we still have such a small minority of workers in the group, but this is largely because militant workers have traditions of their own and are very often in their own organisations. They are not ready to accept us and it takes a much longer time for them to accept us than for intellectuals who are playing with ideas and not really facing the problems of life.
How do you stand in relation to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and to the liberalisation movement in Czechoslovakia in 1968?
The Hungarian Revolution threw forward the form of the workers' council, the most democratic form of organisation of the working class, and it is thus in the same tradition as the Paris Commune and October Revolution, and we wholeheartedly supported it. The Czech events were different – merely an effort by part of the Czech bureaucracy to bring reform from above in order to prevent a revolution from below.
You began your political career by rejecting Zionism. What is your present attitude towards the Middle East, with regard to Israel and the semi-socialist Arab countries?
The term semi-socialist is absolutely wrong. One would have to speak of middle class state capitalist regimes in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Naturally we support unconditionally the Arab revolution against imperialism and Zionism, and I believe that this struggle will never be won unless the struggle of the Arab peasant for land is connected with the struggle against Zionism. That is why the struggle against Dayan cannot be separated from the struggle against Feisal, Hussein, Nasser and the Ba'ath. Therefore the only two organisations we support in the Middle East are the Democratic Front and Maatzpen within Israel itself.
To move much closer home. You have written about France in 1968 – what do you think of the events of 1968 and the position since then?
For 20 years the myth existed amongst some so called "Marxists" that the working class in Western Europe was completely integrated by washing machines and televisions, and that they had therefore lost all their revolutionary potentialities. Many people looked to anyone but the workers of Western Europe – students, peasants in Bolivia, or anyone – but not the working class itself. The French events proved such people completely wrong. For 20 years we had said so and we were proved right – the working class is the only real agent for social change. But the French events also proved something else. They proved that even with the biggest strike in world history, without the organisation to link up the different sections of the working class the ruling class in its centralisation will triumph. Thus the French events confirm the working class as the agents of social change and also confirm the need for a revolutionary party.
Would you still agree that it needed the intellectuals to detonate the revolution or would you say that it was coming anyhow?
It is easier for students to act because a minority of students can act on their own to start with. Workers cannot go on strike in a minority – for students it is much easier to act. But their impact is far more limited, and therefore students rise like a rocket and fall like a stick. They are manic depressive, whereas workers, once they move, are much more effective – there is no question about that.
But didn't the students' movement continue after the workers' movement had subsided?
I think as a matter of fact that the student movement declined after the May events. There was fantastic dissension and bitterness, and a feeling of hopelessness leading to adventurism and the search for short-cuts, and the lesson is really quite simple. You can't lead the working class from outside – you need an organisation that is part of the class and not superimposed from outside.
Doesn't this contradict Lenin's theory of the consciousness of the working class?
Here you are wrong. It is true that in 1902 he said that consciousness can only come to the working class from outside, but in 1905 he wrote, "The working class is instinctively and spontaneously social democratic" (in those days that was the name of the revolutionary party), or again he wrote, "The special condition of the proletariat in capitalist society leads to a struggle of the workers for socialism." A union of them with the socialist party burst forth with spontaneous force. And he was not an elitist – in the act of the revolution he knew that the workers had to be organised in mass revolutionary organisations.
From which one learns that Lenin must be treated with great care.
From which one must learn that Lenin as a Marxist knew that Marxism is a guide to action, and that action depends always on the concrete situation.
Isn't there a danger that the party which tries to organise the workers will suffer the same degeneration as the Communist Party of France?
There are two conceptions of the vanguard party – one is of the party that stands in front of the class, the other is that the most advanced sections of the class are organised in a party. This second concept is the Marxist concept, and if you say that any organisation is bound to degenerate then really you have to accept the pessimists' conception of original sin, and if you accept this pessimistic conception then you can say goodbye to socialism. There is nothing inherently bad in organisation. If there is, then there is no future for socialism.
To move to Northern Ireland, there have been great difficulties amongst left groups as to what position to adopt towards Northern Ireland. What is the IS position?
Our attitude has two elements to it. First of all we argue that only the working class of Ireland, both Catholic and Protestant, can emancipate themselves nationally and socially. But at the same time we argue that for wholly historical reasons a Catholic worker doesn't identify himself with a Protestant worker, and vice versa, and therefore our attitude towards the Catholic is like our attitude towards black rebels in America. We are for black and white uniting and fighting, but we are for the black rebels acting for themselves without waiting for the white workers to catch up. Therefore we support the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland even though it is Catholic, and at the same time we believe that the civil rights movement can never win unless the bread and butter questions of jobs, houses, etc, come to the front so that Catholics and Protestants unite and fight.
But didn't IS support the introduction of British troops into Northern Ireland?
Absolutely not. We never supported this idea. But let me give you an analogy. If there are 50 fascists and 5,000 of us, and 100 police between us, then we say, "Get the police out of the way, we want to smash the fascists." But if there are 5,000 of them and 50 of us then we don't say, "get the police out." We never welcomed British troops. We recognised that their role is to stabilise British imperialism in Northern Ireland, but we couldn't ask Catholic workers in Belfast to demand the right to be pogromed against.
What is your relationship to the Labour Party at the present time?
The Labour Party is a capitalist party. It carries capitalist policies, but it does this with the consent of many workers who believe that it is not a capitalist party. Therefore our job is to do two things: first of all to expose the truth about what the Labour Party is – that it carries out capitalist policies on things like unemployment, immigration, imperialism, etc, etc, etc – and this is the most important job. No one should ever tell lies to the class, and we should tell them that in the real world this is what the Labour Party is like. The Labour Party is not a socialist alternative to the Tories, and therefore there is no alternative at present. That's the first thing to say – but on election day we have to say in all honesty that if the Tories win, the ruling class that identifies itself with the Tory Party, and has done so for hundreds of years (after all, big business gives subsidies only to the Tory Party, not to Labour), and their pleasure is enough to say, "We must wipe their smiles off their faces, even if we have to use such a bastard as Harold Wilson."
Secondly, Wilson in opposition would take out the little red book of the sayings of Nye Bevan that he keeps in his pocket, and Anthony Greenwood, instead of murdering the Adenese workers, would be chairman of the Movement for Colonial Freedom. We prefer to have that hypocrite in office where he cannot hide behind his left face. Therefore, from the standpoint of exposure of both parties, it is better to have Labour in power. Or as good old Lenin put it, "We will support the Labour Party like the rope supports a hanging man." Therefore tactically, when the election comes, we will continue to attack the Labour government's record of a capitalist government and at the end we will say, because we have no other alternative, it is tactically better to have Harold Wilson than Ted Heath.
Would you go further than this and say that IS should work inside the Labour Party as actual members of the party?
Because we have no respect at all for the Labour Party, our attitude vis-à-vis entrism into the Labour Party is like that of someone going poaching. If it helps in poaching to get a licence, then you do it. That is our attitude vis-à-vis the Labour Party. If we were in Nazi Germany we certainly would have been in the Arbeitsfront. One decides such questions upon the concrete reality of the day. At the moment it would be pointless to become members of the Labour Party.
What is your relationship towards the Communist Party of Great Britain?
The CP has a dual role. On the one hand it is a community of militants, mainly industrial militants, that join the party because they don't want to be isolated at their place of work. On the other hand the leadership is an agency of the foreign policy of the Russian bureaucracy and the result is, of course, that every time Stalin sneezed, Harry Pollitt got his handkerchief out of his pocket. We oppose consistently the policies of the party and the leadership of the party, especially now that the CP has become such a right wing social democratic party, supporting the parliamentary road to socialism, very soft on trade union bureaucrats like Jack Jones and Hugh Scanlon. But at the same time we collaborate with rank and file industrial members of the CP in various joint activities.
Ideally you would like to see a revolutionary socialist party of your own?
Yes, of course. We believe that the vanguard section of the class, in other words the most advanced section of the working class, the 200,000 shop stewards of this country, should be organised not only industrially but also politically. There should not be individual shop stewards like individual marbles in different shops, but a shop stewards' movement that will also have political life of its own, and this will be the revolutionary party.
How do you see the revolutionary party as being organised?
Because the working class has to emancipate itself, the revolutionary party must reflect the class. But which section of the class is it to reflect? There is an unevenness of consciousness in the class, therefore the party must reflect the consciousness of the more advanced section of the class.
It must be extremely democratic, because the only way in which you can reflect the mass of the people is by having a great deal of internal democracy. It is not true that the working class has one cohesive point of view. The revolutionary party would reflect that lack of cohesion, of course. And therefore, if you speak in terms of dialogue with a class, the class itself has different views, and therefore this democracy is necessary. Centralism is necessary for obvious reasons. The ruling class is highly centralistic, and we can't fight the enemy unless we have a symmetrical organisation to it, and every strike is centralistic. The worker goes to work as an individual. When he goes on strike he acts as a collective. Revolution is the most centralistic thing in the world, and that is why in time of revolution you speak about Paris 1789, you don't speak about 5 million Frenchmen, when you speak about Russia, you don't speak about 200 million Russians, you speak about Petrograd.
Do you see no contradiction, for example, between the 2 million of Petrograd and the much smaller numbers of the military committee the Bolsheviks in Petrograd who actually carried out the revolution? Can there be no contradiction between the centre of the party and its base in any particular area?
Revolution comes because there are contradictions. If the whole working class had one level of consciousness there would not have been any need for revolution, there would never be any need for a strike, there would not have been any need for a picket line. There is a picket line because workers act differently. In every revolution there are millions on the revolutionaries' side. Because of that, if there was no unevenness in the level of consciousness we wouldn't have needed a workers' government or the organisations of the proletariat, because there wouldn't have been anybody to suppress. To fight millionaires you don't need a picket line, because the duchess never crosses picket lines. Workers cross picket lines. To fight the reactionary labourers in Russia you didn't need a Red Army, you needed a workers' state. That's why in reality we need revolution, strikes, picket lines, a workers' government – the uneven level of consciousness.
But nevertheless, this does seem to suggest that the centralism of your democratic party, the militancy of the class, the militancy of the party, seems to be directed not so much against the class enemy – since you suggest this will fade away in a revolution – as against the less advanced sections of the working class.
The answer is this: up to now, with every strike, the fight is never between the workers and the employers, because the employers never did anything for themselves in their lives – they didn't fight imperialistic wars, they sent workers to fight imperialist wars, they didn't break strikes themselves, they sent workers to break the strikes. And if you want to say that every strike is a fight between workers and workers, it is absolutely true. A section of workers are serving the ruling class. It is the same in Vietnam: it is not a war between the South Vietnamese peasants and American multi-millionaires – on the contrary, the American multi-millionaires are not drafted, it is a struggle between Vietnamese peasants and American workers in uniforms.
This seems to suggest a rather interesting development in Marxism, where you no longer have classes acting out their destinies separately. You are suggesting that the working class is divided between those who are serving their real interests and those who are serving the interests of the ruling class. In a sense, the ruling class scarcely seems to exist in this analysis.
No, on the contrary. Even in 1789 the bourgeoisie didn't make its own revolution – it was the sans-culottes of Paris who had to make the revolution. The capitalist never did anything for himself, by definition he never does anything for himself, he uses other people. In a revolution it is always the poor that are being used. It is the class struggle – the struggle between the workers and the capitalist class is always reflected in the struggle between the section of the working class which is under the influence of the capitalist class and the section which is opposed to the capitalist class.
I am still worried about some of your remarks about the party's function. I should like to ask you more carefully: before any revolutionary situation, how should the party consider its relationship to other organs, either Marxist or non-Marxist, but still revolutionary organs nonetheless?
We are against substitution, but we are also against saying let's wait until everyone is ready to march. You have to stand up and say when we want the majority to march. If the majority accept it they will march then. If not, you stand there as a minority and you stick to your position. The same applies to the revolutionary party – the revolutionary party cannot substitute for the class. The working class must emancipate itself. The emancipation of the working class is the act of the working class.
The role of the revolutionary party is to come forward and explain to other workers what the party thinks the correct policy should be. The only way the strike committee can win is by the members of the strike committee proving themselves more consistent, more loyal to the interests of the majority, etc, etc, etc. They have to be put to the test, and therefore we are absolutely for the freedom of all socialist parties to stand in competition, with the real hope, of course, that if we are correct 99.9 percent of workers will vote for us and 0.0001 percent will vote for Harold Wilson. But we have not arrived at that yet.
Let's take a concrete example. In Russia after the Bolshevik revolution there were democratic elections, against which one can raise many objections, but nevertheless there was a majority in favour of moderate peasant socialism and a very small minority vote for the Bolsheviks. In such a situation what do you think the Bolshevik Party or any other vanguard revolutionary party should have done?
The basic tragedy of the Russian Revolution – and this is really a tragedy – is that the Russian working class was such a small minority. And therefore in the Russian Revolution we had a combination of two revolutions: a working class revolution which was aiming at socialism and a peasant revolution which was aiming basically at what the French Revolution of 1789 achieved. Now the French peasant, once he got the land, became a conservative element that smashed the 1848 revolution, that smashed the Paris Commune of 1871, because the peasant had something to conserve. Now the Russian Bolsheviks knew that this was the situation in Russia, and assumed that the German Revolution would come to their help to get them out of the dilemma. But German Social Democracy smashed the German Revolution of 1918–9 and the Russian Revolution remained in isolation. Once the Russian Revolution remained in isolation the working class power base became very very narrow. Moreover, the Russian working class practically disintegrated in the course of the civil war. There were 3 million industrial workers in 1917, there were only 1 million in 1920. Under such conditions you couldn't speak about the possibility of a democratic set-up. The Bolsheviks were really faced with a terrible tragedy. Their only mistake, if they made a mistake, was that quite often they made a virtue out of necessity.
If such a situation recurred as in France in 1968, when there were elections despite the massive strikes and the enormous social mobility, there was yet again a majority for social democracy and indeed for Gaullist democracy. Again, what should a revolutionary party do if it had the power to upset such elections?
So long as the majority of the workers don't support the revolutionary party, the revolutionary party has no alternative but patience to go on trying to get the confidence of the mass of the workers. You can't make a revolution behind the back of the working class. We don't believe in the minority acting for the class. We are not terrorists – in other words liberals that despise the working class and suggest that a minority should use a bomb. The liberal with a bomb – that's what a terrorist is, and that's basically what the anarchists are, you know, because they really don't believe in the working class or in action. If the majority of workers are supporting the Communist Party you have to go on and on explaining and showing in practice through the day to day struggle that they are wrong.
To go further with the revolutionary party, being democratic it will come to decisions in a democratic way. Being centralist, how will it carry out such decisions if there is dissension?
If a majority of workers decide on a strike, and even if you think this specific strike is wrong, you don't cross the picket line. You accept the decision. For example – I will go to the extreme – the workers are going on strike on racialist grounds. I would not cross the picket line. I would stand next to the picket line and condemn the strike – I'll say it is a wrong strike, that it is a reactionary strike, but I am not going to break democratic decisions of workers. Therefore there is no question about it; if a majority decides on it the minority has to obey it, the minority of course has to have complete guarantee that it will have all the time, the opportunity to express its views and influence the views of the majority – and not in secrecy, but in open debate in the face of the class.
What happens when a minority refuses to accept?
If the minority decides to cross the picket lines the majority are absolutely right in trying to stop them.
What do you think of the many groups active in this country who consider that the revolutionary situation is above all abroad?
Of course, I do not say that the revolutionary situation is at home. We are not yet there. But we are in a long transition towards a big convulsion and there is no question that the 1970s will be the red 70s – if they are not the red 70s they will be the black 70s. We are not going to repeat the disorganisation of 1948 onwards. And my attitude to the other groups – I believe the majority of them, because of many, many years of frustration and isolation, in the end turn to the game of sour grapes. They accept their impotence, accept their weakness, and therefore they get vicarious pleasure from people struggling elsewhere. And so they are absolute experts about the Paris Commune – every one of them will tell you what the Paris communards should have done. They are experts about Bolivia, they are experts about Vietnam, they know absolutely clearly everything that Lenin said to Plekhanov. But they know very little about British working class history, they know very little about the British working class, they care very little about the struggle in this country.
And why? Because in reality they are beaten! They are beaten, they are demoralised, because they really don't believe Marxism is a guide to action. They believe that Marxism is a description of reality, instead of a factor in changing reality. If the only thing you are aiming at is not to fight the elephant but to make a picture of the elephant, there is no reason why you and I shouldn't collaborate in picturing the elephant – you can picture your elephant and I can picture my elephant. Similarly, you can kill your capitalism and I can kill my capitalism; you can smash Wilson and I can smash Wilson tomorrow. And this way we don't have to unite. If we have to fight with the existing real elephant we have to unite forces, and therefore sectarianism is the by-product of all this substitutionism, of giving up the real struggle.
You don't feel at all incongruous as a non-member of the working class with almost the whole of your political philosophy directed towards the working class? You yourself, in a sense, are substituting, surely?
No, on the contrary, nothing of the sort. If you look at my book on productivity I don't hide the fact at all that not one idea of it was created at the university, not one idea was created in the library, not one idea came from my own blooming brain. Everything came from the experience of the class, everything came from the experience of workers, and it came from the past.
It was the workers of Russia who created the soviet, and it was Lenin who understood how marvellous an organisation it was. It was the workers of Paris who created the Paris Commune, and it was Marx who understood the great importance of this type of workers' government. You learn from the workers to the workers, from their struggle to the struggle. And that is why I don't feel a substitutionist at all.

Historically, portraiture is an artistic representation of a person—in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality and even the mood of a person.
The portrait is a reflection of self. The idea of a portrait comes with a complexity of the human face, its landscape as well as the anatomy and the structure holding a level of influence; an interest that soars far beyond the make-up of the human body. The body is a temporary housing for the souls of individuals and it makes no difference how the assembly is built, but it is within the face that each layer is broken down and this is where a portrait takes place. The portrait captures tragedy, happiness and honesty. It can also depict struggle as well as deceit.

Taco Brothers Saving Christmas from ELK Studios: Slot Review - another adventure down Mexico way with the brothers Taco!
Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is designed for Mobile First and offers an exciting game filled with Wilds, running Wilds, multipliers, respins and free spins. There are as many as 243 ways to win, with the chance of winning up to 150,000 coins in this exciting 5 reel slot.
This slot is played on 5 reels, with 243 ways to win. As you have probably guessed from the name, it is a Mexican-themed video slot released for this festive period.
This is the second outing for the Taco Brothers (Pepe, Pico and Paco) and it is full of festive cheer including wild re-spins and a free spins round with sliding wilds. You can bet from between 10p to £50 per spin.
The villain in the Taco Brothers' lives is Captain Diaz. Pepe, Pico and Paco have to protect their town from Captain Diaz.
The first Taco Brothers game was very popular and this was largely due to the range of features available to the player. The good news is that the same range of features that made the first Taco Brothers so popular are present and correct in this holiday-themed sequel.
If you get two Taco Brothers on the even numbered reels on the same spin you will trigger the Taco Brothers Respin feature. Basically, it gives you a second crack at landing 3 safes (more below).
Free spins are on offer in Taco Brothers Saving Christmas too via the Wild Escape Bonus feature – to trigger the feature, you'll need to land the safe scatter symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin. There are a couple of wrinkles to help you on your way during the feature. Firstly, multipliers are on offer which can treble your payouts.
Look out too for the Running Wild feature – Pepe, Pico and Paco all land on reel 5 one at a time and move 1 position to the left with each free spin. Watch out for the dastardly Captain Diaz though. He can stop the brothers in their tracks and freeze them behind bars!!
Helping the brothers is the Señorita who can release the brothers from the clutches of Diaz and resume their wild abilities – she can also add extra free spins to your total. The free spins continue until all the brothers are behind bars or the trio have made their escape.
It's a great feature that really does bring some added excitement to the game!!
If you have played the first Taco Brothers game then you will be expecting a high standard of game design here. You will not be disappointed. This slot meets those high standards of the first game with an added festive twist or two thrown in for the season that's in it!
The dusty town backdrop from the first slot is replaced by a somewhat unlikely snowstorm this time around. You will also see cactus plants decorated with fairy lights, guitars wrapped in tinsel and Santa hats replace the regular sombreros too!
There are as many as 243 ways to win, with the chance of winning up to 150,000 coins in this exciting 5 reel slot. The RTP is 96.4% on this slot.
There are no "big win" stories yet as this game has just been released. Will you be one of the first?!!!
This second Taco Brothers instalment is a far more volatile game than the original with the variance in the high bracket. Expect less action in the base game but be prepared for some explosive thrills in the feature instead.
Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is an excellent sequel, especially given the added volatility. It may not be the traditional way to celebrate Christmas for many of us but here at Gaming Revolution we'll definitely be heading down Mexico-way this Christmas!!

From Untacked: A Closer Look At GallopNYC (Views: 2649)
By: Megan Brincks
Brought to you by Merck
From world-class shows to riding stables nestled in between skyscrapers, equestrianism has a long and storied history in New York City. But for the past decade, GallopNYC has brought a different type of horse culture to the metropolis. The nonprofit organization provides therapeutic horsemanship to people with developmental, emotional, social and physical challenges across several facilities in the city's boroughs.
"Our vision now is to make therapeutic horsemanship available to all people with disabilities in New York City," said Suzy Marquard, a longtime volunteer and past president of the group's board of directors. "It's pretty aspirational, but that guides us."
Board member and former executive director Alicia Kershaw first learned about using horses for therapy during a stint in Hong Kong in 1998, and when she returned to New York, she started volunteering at a small program located at the Claremont Riding Academy on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
"It was a tiny program—about nine kids a week," said Kershaw. "A group of us decided we wanted to do more and better. It was one of those, 'How hard can it be?' moments. It's been good, but it's been hard!"
GallopNYC was officially started in 2005, but the program took a few more years to really get off the ground.
"We didn't get regular lessons going until 2007 because we had problems finding stables to accommodate us," said Kershaw. "Then for a while, we were like, 'Where are all the riders?' Suddenly word of mouth took off."
Marquard joined GallopNYC as a volunteer instructor just as the organization began offering lessons at its first base, which was at Brooklyn's Kensington Stables. She rode as a junior, and her family owned a Thoroughbred farm outside Lexington, Kentucky. After taking a lengthy break from horses as an adult, she returned to riding, and her father sent her a horse needing a career outside of racing.
"He arrived just a couple days after 9/11, and it really cemented the idea that horses can be healing—to have that interaction with a horse while your emotions are raw," Marquard said. "I found it was better for me to go riding on the weekend when I was working as a lawyer than to go play golf or something. It was more effective."
A Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship-certified instructor, Marquard taught some of the first GallopNYC students.
"We had three riders lined up," she said. "When I saw the effect it had on the riders, I was just hooked. It just confirmed my belief that riding is therapeutic for everybody."
Thanks to GallopNYC, riders in New York City now have access to a therapeutic horsemanship program where they can learn skills related to horses and life. Photos Courtesy Of GallopNYC
Big City, Big Breakthroughs
Originally the organization operated out of one stable in Brooklyn, using that facility's horses to teach lessons—many of which it conducted in adjacent Prospect Park with permission from the city. But GallopNYC now teaches out of several locations, including one barn the organization owns in Forest Hills, Queens, which is adjacent to a 3-mile bridle path, and another it has exclusive use of with a nine-year agreement in Howard Beach, Queens.
Staff trailer horses from Howard Beach to Prospect Park four days a week, about 30 minutes away, to serve the approximately 100 students there. The organization holds those lessons on the park's Bowling Green field.
"It's fenced with a wrought-iron fence, and it's thankfully too small for a soccer field, so there aren't a lot of other people wanting to use it," said Kershaw. "The fencing is safe, and it's green; it has gardens on the edge. We go around in a circle basically and use cones to mark off whatever area we want to ride in."
The program also utilizes other facilities in the Bronx and in Brooklyn. Each week they serve about 450 students, but there are hundreds more on a waiting list.
"We began to branch out because we knew there was a huge population of people in New York City who could be served by this and could benefit from working with horses," said Marquard, who received the 2016 EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian Award.
"The demand is huge," added Kershaw. "The waiting list is not a good thing. My staff hates telling people they can't ride. We have doubled and plan to double again."
Longtime GallopNYC volunteer and PATH-certified instructor Suzy Marquard first experienced the healing effects of horses after 9/11, and now she helps GallopNYC students reap the rewards of barn time.
GallopNYC relies on financial, product and service donations to run and maintain their facilities and keep students with financial need in the saddle. About 80 percent of students have their lessons subsidized by donations.
The organization is also always looking for volunteers in a huge range of roles, from maintaining the barn and caring for horses to assisting with lessons and even serving on the board of directors.
Depending on the student, lessons might include only groundwork, or students might sit on the horse with a side-walker on each side and a leader at the horse's head, or they might ride more independently. But no matter what they do in their sessions, the students reap huge rewards from time at the barn.
"We had a kid who was just getting into first grade, and there were a lot of family issues; his mother was seriously ill," said Kershaw. "When he came to us, he was about to be thrown out of school because he was such a troublemaker. He started riding and just adored it. He loved riding. His parents came and said, 'Not only is he staying in school, but he's gone up three levels in reading.' He completely turned around. He was a kid on a negative course, and the feelings of self-confidence and empowerment and agency he got riding horses carried through to the rest of his life."
GallopNYC staff and volunteers have also witnessed the first words of several students.
"We had one kid who did come to us with the diagnosis of being non-verbal on the [autism] spectrum, and we try really hard not to limit our expectations of our riders, so even if a child comes with a diagnosis of non-verbal, we do encourage them to communicate," said Kershaw. "The instructor was saying to [the student], 'Tell your horse to walk on,' and his schoolteacher came running over saying, 'He's not verbal!' and just as she got there, he said, 'Walk on!' At the end of his lesson, he got off and said, 'Thanks a lot, buddy.' Now his teachers know he can talk, and his parents know he can talk. It was really a breakthrough."
GallopNYC is also home to an equestrian team that competes in the Long Island Horse Show Series for Riders with Disabilities, a girls' empowerment program led by a mental health professional, a veterans' leadership program, a hippotherapy program—which uses horses for targeted physical therapy—and many other programs for specific populations. They host a yearly on-site horse show to let students show off their skills to family and friends.
Last fall GallopNYC added a leadership program to its lineup.
"It's a holistic program where they're learning about responsibility and showing up on time and setting goals and being proactive and thinking about other people—all things we take for granted being horse riders," said executive director James Wilson. "We've built this entire framework around these leadership skills for young people. It's fun to watch these guys grow and learn about responsibility."
Regardless of the facility, GallopNYC connects people in need with horses—and the organization will keep fulfilling that mission.
"Whatever the disability, the horse seems to have an answer," Marquard said.
GallopNYC instructors find that students with physical issues get stronger, and students with cognitive issues learn focus thanks to their time at the therapeutic horsemanship program.
Changes In The Time Of COVID-19
In March when the COVID-19 crisis hit, GallopNYC sprang into action.
"We've very cognizant with people who are immunocompromised anyway; we spend a lot of time reminding parents if the kid's sick don't come to riding because they might get someone else sick," said Wilson. "We were ready for something. Unfortunately we weren't ready for what this has turned into."
The group taught private lessons for a bit with parents serving as side-walkers. When the governor shut everything down, Wilson shipped 25 of the program's 35 horses upstate, as it's cheaper to keep horses on field board than in the city, and Wilson worried that if the subway shut down or staff got sick the horses would be stranded without someone to care for them.
In the meantime, GallopNYC programming has gone virtual, with the goal of keeping the community engaged, and they have sessions for seniors, veterans, disabled kids and their parents using Zoom, InstagramTV and Facebook Live.
"For kids we're doing move-your-body [sessions]," said Wilson. "So it's exercises and things you would do to get ready to ride a horse. We're doing it so kids can learn how to stretch and build the muscles that will make you a better horse rider. We're doing arts and crafts and reading, just doing things to give people in our community something to do because these kids are really underserved."
Finances are a concern. Wilson and the team rescheduled a May fundraiser for June, but they need to reschedule for fall. They've been applying for funding to offset costs and have a GoFundMe that has raised over $30,000 to help support the horses. A timely piece in The New York Times also helped.
"A lot of these nonprofits can close up the building and pay for the rent and that's it," said Wilson. "But that's not the way it works for us. We were fortunate to have that exposure, and it led to some good financial support from the community. Are we out of the woods? No of course not. But we're hopeful about the short term, and I'm certainly positive about the long term. We're going to come back out of this."

When You Leave Me, an Irresistible Small Town Murder Mystery by Susan Wingate
By Mishka Rao / June 5, 2022 June 5, 2022 / Susan Wingate / 2 minutes of reading
The Bottom Line: An intense, irresistible small town murder mystery that crackles with twists.
When You Leave Me dangles its delicious first clue in the opening sentence: a shoe containing a human foot, one of several that have washed ashore on the San Juan Islands over the past year. Does it belong to Larry Michaels, whose footless body was found months earlier?
Susan Wingate's fifth Friday Harbor novel – which works well as a stand-alone entry – is told in part by Larry's much-younger widow, Jamie. In the early going, readers will love determining whether Jamie is a reliable narrator. She talks about his dementia, their financial situation and the way Larry's kids cut her off after Larry's disappearance because, as she says, "they both thought I'd done something." Adding to the intrigue, Jamie is an insurance claims adjuster and investigator.
But Jamie is hardly the most interesting character in Wingate's cast. Jamie's best friend, Liv, is writing a crime thriller set on the island. The pair bonded when Liv came to Jamie while doing research for her story. The relationship is palpable, as Wingate's sleuth, Detective Sergeant Rob Rimmler, notes: "you two seem really close."
Then there's Afon Daniels, a successful orthopedic surgeon who moved to the island to retire at the still-spry 58-years-old. Afon waits a mere three months before he starts moving in on Jamie. Everything about Afon's behavior on the island perfectly captures what happens when a city slicker adjusts to small town life, from the way he shows up looking "sexy" to book club to the way he pans the local restaurant.
Is there a serial killer at work, or is this just a good old-fashioned small-town murder mystery? Let's just say that Larry won't be the book's last murder victim. Wingate deftly unleashes several surprises in the book's final thirds, but readers won't have to wait long, as the fast-paced When You Leave Me can be easily devoured on a coast-to-coast flight.

Customer Bulletin Summer 2017
Thank you for your time, and welcome to Ringgold's summer newsletter. The highlight of our busy quarter was the User Group meeting held during SSP in Boston. The feedback from our customers has accelerated the release schedule of the new Identify Online platform, and we are excited to share it with the world. We are now in the process of broad internal testing which will transition into a release to our customer beta testers. The process of building a tool for our users to interact with Ringgold data has inspired improvements to the data itself. The result is a faster, more accessible way to find and refine the information you need. We are eager to show you the new look and power of IDO and appreciate your patience while we finalize this first release.
Many of Ringgold's European customers have asked about our privacy policy. We can confirm that we are now compliant with the US-EU Privacy Shield and US-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework in the US. We will also be compliant with the EU GDPR when it is introduced in May 2018 and are actively watching developments as the requirements are completed. It is not an overstatement to assert that security is a top priority at Ringgold. It was a driving concern behind the decision to transition our technical infrastructure to a secure hosted cloud. We will never stop reviewing our security position to ensure we are protecting our data, and yours.
Jay Henry, CMO.
Ringgold is delighted to welcome our new customers:

Important Identify Database developments
New Ringgold Types added
Ringgold continues to enhance and develop the Identify Database in response to feedback from customers, staff and researchers. We have recently introduced new Ringgold Type classifications for schools, publishers, and we are expanding the (sector)/library classification. Full details of these changes can be read here www.ringgold.com/changes-to-ringgold-types-classifications-in-the-identify-database/
Ringgold is aware that there are sometimes variances in the naming of world-wide cities, states and regions and so we are developing an authority file which will be validated against industry standard sources. The authority file will be used to provide enhanced location information for the Identify Database records. We will provide customers with an update shortly with regard to implementation in the database.
Keeping Identify up-to-date
So far this year, Ringgold's production team have updated over 50,000 existing records in the Identify Database. This has included a review of all records in the hierarchies of two academies of sciences: Ringgold ID 54589 Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Ringgold ID 54525 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
We've also updated several academic hierarchies:
Ringgold ID 473281, Tecnológico Nacional de México. This record has a new Ringgold Type, academic/system, and the hierarchy now consists of 266 technical colleges
Ringgold ID 27015, Université Grenoble Alpes. We have updated this record to reflect the merger of Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble 1), Université Pierre-Mendès-France (Grenoble 2) and Université Stendhal (Grenoble 3), which are now alternative names.
Ringgold ID 8082, Pennsylvania State University. The full hierarchy under this system has been reviewed, with correct academic levels applied and classifications changed.
In addition, we've undertaken full checks for all records in two large Canadian hierarchies:
Ringgold ID 97531, Alberta Government
Ringgold ID 113243, Government of Saskatchewan
And in an on-going project we are working through Italian health system records, placing local health district records within regional health department hierarchies as they were previously unrelated.
How do they make it look so easy? Persistent Identifiers.
Our partners at Aries and Copyright Clearance Center are using Ringgold IDs and other PIDs to join systems and data needed to facilitate open access payment workflows in the Rightslink for Open Access tool set. To the authors and publishers using these systems, the workflow is seamless, accurate, and rapid. But in the background, PIDs and structured data are hard at work. Read more here.
Join us at the 2017 UK User Group Meeting
Don't forget about the UK 2017 Ringgold Identify Database User Group meeting, being held in Central London in December. This is an opportunity to learn about new ways to leverage and implement Identify data, share expertise with fellow publishers who understand the benefits of standardized data, and help shape the future of the Identify Database.
UK – Identify User Group Meeting in London, London W1, 2:00 pm December 4.
Speakers will be confirmed nearer the time. This session is free for our valued Clients, and space is limited so please Contact Us now to register.

What qualifies as a STEM background?
VoteSTEM.org lists candidates who have a bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics field. In general, we err on the side of inclusion — and for all candidates, we describe the details of their STEM background to help you decide for yourself if they are someone you want to support.
We exclude candidates who deny accepted, robust facts. Candidates who refuse to accept the scientific consensus around topics like climate change or evolution are working against our core value of evidence-based decision-making. Sadly, the ranks of fact-denying politicians includes some with STEM backgrounds. When we come across these candidates, we add them to our Science Fact Deniers page.
How does having a STEM background make someone a good policy-maker?
A STEM background gives a candidate training and experience in gathering, assessing, and analyzing information — useful skills for making evidence-based policy decisions. We think that these STEM candidates will all help bring more facts into the political arena. However, no single aspect of a candidate's background can automatically make them a good policy-maker. That comes from a person's whole array of strengths and limitations, leadership skills, and positions on key issues.
For good advice on how to research and evaluate candidates, check out these pages from USA.gov and the League of Women Voters. These are both respected, non-partisan organizations dedicated to helping inform and educate voters.
We found our initial set of candidates at 314Action.org, Meet the Scientists Running for Office from Time, and The American Scientists Stepping Up To Run For Office from Wired.
Realizing there had to be more STEM candidates than those handful, we started systematically going through every district of every state on Ballotpedia. We're working our way through the states in the order of their primaries.
Why are you listing candidates before the filing deadline? Won't you miss some last-minute filers?
In order to get as much attention to STEM candidates as possible we want to get candidates listed and in front of you ASAP. To that end we're doing two vetting passes for every state to ensure we find all possible STEM candidates.
The first pass we'll do as soon as we can get to it, likely well before the filing deadline. We go through all the candidates listed for the race on Ballotpedia and vet them. After the filing deadline passes, we'll do a second run over the races to pick up anyone we missed or to drop anyone who has withdrawn.
If you know of a STEM candidate that we missed during the first pass, let us know and we'll add them as soon as we know about them!
Do you fact-check candidates' information?
Nope. We research and cite, but we do not fact-check — that would require us to individually contact each school and employer to verify a candidate's education and experience. Most of the information we present is from the candidates' own statements about themselves, primarily their campaign websites, LinkedIn profiles, or news articles.
No, we do not endorse any candidates. We wish all STEM candidates success in their races, and hope they will use their platforms to focus on fact-based decisions on the campaign trail and after.
See VoteSTEM and endorsements for more detail.
How do you screen out science-fact deniers?
We can't guarantee that every candidate we list has a perfect record with the facts, but we do a bit of sleuthing to see if they belong on our list of science fact deniers instead. If you know of evidence that a listed candidate has denied scientific facts, please let us know and we'll update our listings.
To screen a candidate, we start with their "Issues" webpage and look for their position on climate change, since this issue is very polarized. If they acknowledge the existence of climate change, we look over the rest of their website for red flags but usually don't do any further research.
The exception is candidates who have held state or federal office — they have often made statements or voted on bills about climate change or evolution. We do a google search for both climate change and evolution to see what we can find.
If a candidate doesn't state a position on climate change, we do a google search for their positions on climate change or evolution. Sometimes we can't find anything they've said about either issue — in which case we give them the benefit of the doubt and list them.
What are the facts about climate change, anyway?
This is our summary of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report (2014). Here's a post with more details.
Aren't scientists still arguing over evolution?
Studies in evolutionary biology have led to the conclusion that human beings arose from ancestral primates. This association was hotly debated among scientists in Darwin's day. But today there is no significant scientific doubt about the close evolutionary relationships among all primates, including humans.
We are scientists, computer engineers, and others who are fed up with the status quo. Our education ranges from BS in Computer Science, to MA in English, to a PhD in Urban Ecology. We work in both the public and private sectors. Several of us come from hyper-rural areas of the country and others are pure city-slickers.
We struggled with picking the right domain name because we needed a name that was brief, yet also memorable and clear.
We chose vote because it is a strong, active verb. Our mission is a call to action.
We chose STEM for brevity. This acronym was introduced in 2001 by the U.S. National Science Foundation to designate a background in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
To clarify our mission for those unfamiliar with the STEM acronym and to reinforce our goals, we added the tagline, "Scientists and Engineers for Public Office".
See our Get Involved page to see how you can help support STEM candidates and us here at VoteSTEM.org.

Reading. Writing. Art. Life. Portland.
I decided to go back to my old LibraryThing records and pull up my favorite reads that fit in with the Gay Pride Month theme. Now that I've done it, it was so fun that I may make this a regular thing--pulling old reviews that somehow tie together with a theme.
I don't reread books very often, but this is one of those books where you read a passage and it so succinctly captures a moment, scene, or character, that you have to read it again just to take the whole thing in. Then you want to look up from the book for a minute to absorb it, read it again, and then dive back into the story to find out what happens next. This is the first book I've read by Michael Cunningham and I'm afraid to read any more. But, I'm going to anyway.
It's the story of two childhood friends, Jonathon and Bobby, who drift apart and together again throughout their lives because they can't quite admit to being in love with each other. They find various ways to be together, along with Clare, who becomes the mother to a baby that is biologically Bobby's but emotionally just as much Jonathon's child. They build a life together. But the brilliance in this book is the way it presents the characters in all their imperfections, the way they don't do what you want them to do and you understand why. No, the briliance is how it's written, actually. The plot is secondary. I need to go read it again.
I read this long before starting my LibraryThing account, so it's not in my library. The fact that I still remember it speaks volumes about how much I loved it, because I started on LibraryThing to keep authors and titles from flying out of my head so quickly. The gist: Ellen is 14 and fascinated by the close relationship between her big brother Link and his best friend James. When she developes a crush on James, she comes to realize that his relationship with her brother is more complicated than she had thought. This is so well done. I can't believe I haven't read any of Freymann-Weyr's other books--just got her latest from the library and it's calling to me over the top of my book pile.
I enjoyed parts of this book very much. O'Neill does a brilliant job of unfolding the relationships between people and letting them grow and contract in a very natural way. I read several of the scenes (no, not just the racy ones) two or three times because they were so beautifully laid out.
It was a little hard to understand at times, not because of the dialect ('tis very Irish, so it is--if you like the lilt of Frank McCourt's 'Tis you'll love this) but because of the author's style. Incomplete sentences. Thoughts unfinished. Many words on the page, one after the other, the way words normally occur, and yet—. Sometimes describing thoughts and at other times, the scene. Confusing.
The book takes place in 1915-1916, just before the Easter Rising that resulted in the independence of the Republic of Ireland, and it puts the reader into the middle of that conflict. This is good if you like history, which I do. If you didn't I think it might pull you away from the story, trying to figure out which side is which and how it all connects. I never did quite figure out which side a couple of the characters were on--or maybe that was the point. And, well, I didn't love the ending, but that's personal preference--it was very well done, it just wasn't the exact ending I would have chosen.
I wasn't impressed with this one. Leavitt has a tendency to tell us what's happening, then take three steps backward to tell us what led up to that happening, filling in the even earlier backstory along the way. The result is that you read 10 pages to find out: Owen is walking somewhere. His wife is home working (and they have to either buy their apartment or move, and they have a grown son, here's what his apartment is like, and here's what they talked about when she had lunch with him one time and then she took a cab ride but that was another day because now we're back in the apartment hearing about how her husband was gone when she woke up and now it's page 14 and she's working, like she was on page 4, and she's going to go for a walk.) Then we meet the son and his lover, but now we're going back 3 weeks to read the story of how they met.
Some of the dialogue seems contrived. Phillip sounds like a bad parody of a mental health counselor: "I miss her. I feel very sad about it." And some of the conversations between father and son toward the end of the book, I just found impossible to swallow, which in turn made the relationship seem false. Since that relationship was a pivotal part of the novel, it was disappointing to say the least.
Do you have a favorite book or author to highlight for Gay Pride month? Why not participate in this month's Diversity Roll Call here on Worducopia?
One of my favorite books for Gay Pride month is Annie on my Mind by Nancy Garden. It's a young adult read and well-written. I first read it when I was a teenager. I plan on reading it again soon.
I also just read The Screwed-Up Life of Charlie the Second by Drew Ferguson. Very realistic and very honest portrayal of the life of a teenage boy.
I think I need to check out Michael Cunningham's work.
The Lost Language of Cranes- that has such a beautiful title. But it sounds like one I would flounder in, too. I get easily confused when the backstory is inserted along the way in that fashion.
Vasilly, I'm looking forward to hearing more about Annie on My Mind when you've reread it. Will you please be sure to include your link on the Diversity Roll Call post so I don't miss it?
BermudaOnion, you've never read Michael Cunningham? You absolutely must!
Jeane, Yes, I love the title too! I don't think I was ever confused about the timeline, more like impatient to get on with the story. Sounds like it may not be the best fit for you, either, though.
Cunningham's and Freymann-Weyr's books sounds like something I'd like to read. Thanks for the post.
I share a penchant for Irish books...and Irish movies and Irish music...and while I saw the movie, I am ashamed to say I have never read anything by Cunningham either. I really must check him out.
My Heartbeat sounds good plus it has a shiny Pritz sticker.
I've been meaning to read more Michael Cunningham ever since I read The Hours - it's been something like five years now and I still haven't! Thank you for the nudge.
At Swim, Two Boys is one I've always been drawn to, mostly because I like Irish lit and love the title. I actually didn't know it deal with glbtq themes. One more reason to read it!
At Swim, Two Boys has been on my radr for years, but I've never found a used copy. I may have to actually buy it new -- gasp!
I have Tipping the Velvet on my iPod now. If I get to it by the end of the month, that will count.
Rose City Reader, I'm pretty sure I read a library copy.
What did you think of the film version of A HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD? According to IMDB, Cunningham wrote the screenplay.
Rich, I had no complaints about the film. I saw it on DVD soon after reading the book and while I didn't fall in love with it the way I did with the book (it's just not quite the same with movies, is it?), I thought it was done well. I remember there was dialogue that was pulled directly from the text, so it doesn't surprise me that Cunningham was in charge.
I've added "My Heartbeat" and "At Home at the End of the World" to my list of books to read. Thanks for the recommendations.
I really need to read "Home At The End" - I've already seen the film and remember it being amazing.
Zetta, I love that song. I'll have to listen to the words more carefully and see if it fits with the book.
"Like" my page for links, photos, and the occasional snarky comment as I read.

Josh Hall (born 3 April 1990) is former dual-code professional (Gold Coast Suns Australian rules football and Penrith Panthers National Rugby League) from Townsville in Queensland.

Early life
Hall was born and raised in Townsville, Queensland. He played junior rugby league in his younger years, playing the positions of fullback and centre. He supported the North Queensland Cowboys in the National Rugby League throughout his schooling years at William Ross State High School. As a teenager, Hall decided to focus on High jump with the dream of one day representing Australia at the Olympics.

High jump career
Hall won the bronze medal at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics. He jumped a personal best of 2.26m nine times in 2010 which cleared the B qualifying height for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. However, he was overlooked for the 2010 Australian Commonwealth Games team and decided to take a break from high jump. Later in 2010 he attended training at the Townsvile City Lions AFC as a part of practical work in his sports science degree at James Cook University. Despite only being required to run water initially, the trip would result in Hall playing Australian rules football for the first time at 20 years of age. The following year saw Hall sign up to play senior football for the Curra Swans in the AFL Townsville competition.

After just four games of senior football for Curra, Hall attracted the attention of a Gold Coast Suns Academy scout. Although not officially a part of the team, Hall was invited to play football for the Gold Coast Suns reserves team in 2011 and showed much promise as a ruckman. He also fell 2 centimeters shy of qualifying for the High Jump in the 2012 London Olympics.

AFL career
Hall was drafted with the 94th pick in the 2012 AFL rookie draft by the Gold Coast Suns. After weeks of solid form in the NEAFL, he was selected to play for the Suns senior team for their clash with the Richmond Tigers in Cairns. In his AFL debut he kicked two goals in a two-point victory over Richmond. Hall managed seven senior AFL games over his four-year AFL career before being delisted on 8 September 2015. In a radio interview conducted on 14 September 2015, Hall stated he wanted a contract extension with the Gold Coast and only explored his options after he was made aware that he would not be re-signed.

NRL career

In May 2015, it was revealed that Hall met with Gold Coast Titans coach Neil Henry at Gold Coast Airport to discuss a potential switch of codes but was informed he would need to prove himself in the Queensland Cup before an NRL contract would be offered. Hall flew to Sydney in August 2015 to meet with Penrith Panthers General Manager Phil Gould where the two discussed switching codes. On 8 September 2015, Hall was signed by the Penrith Panthers on a two-year-deal. Josh played for Penrith's Intrust Super Premiership Team, which is one step below the NRL squad.  He was released at the end of Season 2016.

In 2017, Hall signed with the Townsville Blackhawks upon returning to his hometown.

Return to Australian Rules
Hall signed with the QAFL's Southport Sharks in 2018.
