La Vie en Rose (literally Life in pink, French pronunciation: [la vi ɑ̃ ʁoz];[note 1]French: La Môme)[note 2] is a 2007 French biographicalmusical film about the life of French singer Édith Piaf. The film was co-written and directed by Olivier Dahan, and starred Marion Cotillard as Piaf. The UK and US title La Vie en Rose comes from Piaf's signature song.
Cotillard's performance earned her several accolades including the Academy Award for Best Actress — marking the first time an Oscar had been given for a French-language role — the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and the César Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance. The film also won the Academy Award for Best Makeup, the BAFTA Award for Best Makeup, Costume Design, Film Music, four additional César Awards and grossed $86.3 million worldwide.

The film is structured as a largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Édith Piaf. [note 3] The film begins with elements from her childhood, and at the end with the events prior to and surrounding her death, poignantly juxtaposed by a performance of her song, 'Non, je ne regrette rien'.
The film opens with Édith as a small child in 1918. Her mother stands across the alley singing, busking for change. Édith's mother writes to her child's father, the acrobat, who is fighting in the trenches of World War I battlefields, informing him that she is leaving Édith with her mother so she can pursue the life of the artist. Her father returns to Paris and scoops up a sick Édith, then in turn leaves the child with his own mother, who is a madam of a brothel in Normandy. Now living as a child in a brothel, surrounded by the often brutal and demeaning business of prostitution, Édith is taken under the wing of the women there, especially Titine, a young troubled redhead who becomes emotionally attached to the little girl. Titine sings to, plays with, and tenderly cares for Édith through travails including an episode of keratitis-induced blindness.
Years later, Édith's father returns for her. Despite anguished protests from both Titine and Édith, he takes the child away to join him as he works as a circus acrobat. As Édith is outside cleaning up after dinner one night, she watches a fire eater practicing, and in the flames sees an apparition of St Thérèse, who assures her that she will always be with her—a belief that she carries with her for the rest of her life.
When Édith is nine years old, her father leaves the circus after an argument with the manager and begins performing on the streets of Paris. During a lackluster performance of her father's contortionist skills while Édith holds a hat for coins, a passerby asks if Édith is part of the show and, with prompting by her father to 'do something' so the half-interested audience doesn't leave, she spontaneously sings 'La Marseillaise' with raw emotion, mesmerizing the street crowd.
Years later, a nightclub owner named Louis Leplée approaches Édith while she sings (and drinks) on the streets of Montmartre for supper money with her friend Mômone. He invites her to his club for an informal audition. Impressed, he hires her, after creating for diminutive Édith (1.47m in height) a stage surname of Piaf, a colloquialism for sparrow.
Soon, Leplée is shot dead, suspected by the police to be due to Édith's connections to the mafia through the pimp who has demanded a large portion of her street singing earnings. When Édith next attempts a show at a low grade cabaret, she is jeered and shouted off the stage by a hostile crowd. Things go from bad to worse when Mômone is forcibly taken away to a convent for girls on orders from her mother. Desperate, Édith turns to Raymond Asso, a songwriter and accompanist. Through harsh means, he enlivens her performances by teaching her to gesture with her 'great hands' while singing, and works with her on enunciation and other aspects of stage presence, including how to battle her initial fierce bouts of stage fright that almost prevent her from taking the stage for her first music hall performance.
While performing in New York City, Édith meets Marcel Cerdan, a fellow French national who is a boxer competing for the World Champion title. Though she quickly learns from him that he has a wife, who runs their pig farm while he's away, Édith tells Mômone that she is falling in love with Marcel. The affair that ensues (it begins shortly after he beats Tony Zale and becomes World Middleweight Champion), while supposedly secret, results in 'La Vie En Rose' being played for Marcel wherever he goes. The morning after Édith has persuaded Marcel to fly from Paris and join her in New York, she wakes up to his kiss. She joyfully hurries to get him coffee and her gift to him of a watch, while she mocks and exasperatedly shouts at her oddly subdued entourage as they listlessly stand around her apartment. They finally break the news to her that Marcel's plane crashed. Édith hysterically searches for the ghost of Marcel that was lounging on her bed just a few moments before, crying out the name of her lost lover.
The narrative bookends these scenes from Édith's middle life with repeated vignettes of an aged-looking Édith with frizzy red hair, being nursed and tended to. She spends much of her time sitting in a chair by the lakeside, and when she stands, she has the stooped posture and slowness of a much older person. Another set of fractured memories shows Édith with short curly hair, plastered to her face as though she is feverish, singing on stage and collapsing while she tries to sing, a moment when Édith herself realizes that her body is betraying her, when she is hosting a party at a Parisian bistro, and topples a bottle of champagne because of her developing arthritis, and to the severe morphine addiction that ultimately plays a large role in her demise, as she injects the drug with a young lover in her bedroom.
After her husband, Jacques Pills, persuades her to enter rehabilitation for her addiction, she travels to California with him, and the audience sees the sober but manic-by-nature Édith being driven around in a convertible, laughing, joking, teasing her compatriots and generally being the life of the party, until she takes the wheel and promptly drives into a Joshua tree. The hilarity is uninterrupted as Édith gets out and pretends to hitchhike—the whole episode appearing to be a metaphor for her lifelong frantic efforts to be happy and distracted by entertaining others, through all manner of disasters.
Years later, Piaf, now frail and hunched, squabbles with her entourage about whether or not she will be able to perform at the Olympia. No one but Édith thinks that she will be ready to attempt the feat, but she ultimately faces this reality herself. Then, a new songwriter and arranger shows up with a song, 'Non, je ne regrette rien', and Édith exclaims: 'You're marvelous! Exactly what I've been waiting for. It's incredible. It's me! That's my life, it's me.' She announces that she will indeed perform it at the Olympia.
Memories from prior to and during her last performance, when she collapses onstage, are interwoven through the film, foreshadowing the tragic end to a stellar but prematurely ended stage life. The memories appear to almost haunt Piaf. In one series, prior to what turns out to be her last performance, Édith is finally ready to go onstage after a series of delays, when she asks for the cross necklace that she always wears. As her staff rush away to get it, she sits and, in her quiet solitude, experiences more memories of her past, and after Édith puts on the retrieved cross and shuffles out onto the stage, the film presents more flashbacks as she is singing one of her signature songs, 'Je ne regrette rien.'
She relives a sunny day on a beach with her knitting, when an older Édith with an obvious stoop graciously answers the simple and polite questions of an interviewer: what is her favorite color? (blue), her favorite food? (pot roast), and then more poignant questions that she also answers without hesitation, again showing the longings of her life. If you were to give advice to a woman, what would it be? 'Love.' To a young girl? 'Love.' To a child? 'Love.'
As though he is carrying a swaddled infant, Louis easily carries Édith, tiny and wasted away at the age of 47, into her bedroom and tucks her into bed, while the subtitle removes any illusions that this is other than the last day of her life. She is afraid. She says she cannot remember things, but has a disjointed series of memories of the kind of small moments that somehow define all our lives more than the 'big moments' do—scrambled and fragmentary as a dying person might experience—her mother commenting on her 'wild eyes,' her father giving her a gift of a doll, and thoughts of her own dead child, Marcelle.
The film ends with Édith performing 'Non, je ne regrette rien' at the Olympia.

Production[edit]
Cotillard was chosen by director Olivier Dahan to portray the French singer Édith Piaf in the biopic La Vie en Rose before he had even met her, saying that he noticed a similarity between Piaf's and Cotillard's eyes.[3] Producer Alain Goldman accepted and defended the choice even though distributors TFM reduced the money they gave to finance the film thinking Cotillard wasn't 'bankable' enough an actress.[4]
Four songs were entirely performed by 'Parigote' singer Jil Aigrot:[citation needed] 'Mon Homme' (My Man), 'Les Mômes de la Cloche' (The kids of the bell), 'Mon Légionnaire' (My legionnaire), 'Les Hiboux' (Owls) as well as the third verse and chorus of 'L'Accordéoniste' (The accordionist) and the first chorus of 'Padam, padam..'. Only parts of these last two songs were sung because they were sung while Piaf/Cotillard was fatigued and collapsed on stage. Apart from that, 'La Marseillaise' is performed by child singer Cassandre Berger (lip-synched by Pauline Burlet, who plays the young Édith in the film), and Mistinguett's 'Mon Homme' (My Man) and 'Il m'a vue nue' (He saw me naked) (sung in part by Emmanuelle Seigner) also appear. Recordings of Piaf are also used.
The film premiered at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival.
Box office performance[edit]
In theaters, the film grossed US$86,274,793 worldwide – $10,301,706 in the United States and Canada and $75,973,087 elsewhere in the world.[5] In Francophone countries including France, Algeria, Monaco, Morocco and Tunisia, the film grossed a total of $42,651,334.[6]
The film became the third-highest-grossing French-language film in the United States since 1980 (behind Amélie and Brotherhood of the Wolf).[7]
The film received positive reviews from critics. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an approval rating of 74% based on 149 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'The set design and cinematography are impressive, but the real achievement of La Vie en Rose is Marion Cotillard's mesmerizing, wholly convincing performance as Edith Piaf.'[8] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 66 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.[9] Cotillard received widespread critical acclaim for her performance, with many critics citing it as the best performance of the year and one of the greatest acting performances of all-time. A. O. Scott of The New York Times, while unimpressed with the film itself, said 'it is hard not to admire Ms. Cotillard for the discipline and ferocity she brings to the role.'[10] Carino Chocano of the Los Angeles Times opined that 'Marion Cotillard is astonishing as the troubled singer in a technically virtuosic and emotionally resonant performance..' Richard Nilsen from Arizona Republic was even more enthusiastic, writing 'don't bother voting. Just give the Oscar to Marion Cotillard now. As the chanteuse Édith Piaf in La Vie en rose, her acting is the most astonishing I've seen in years.'[8]
Critic Mark Kermode of The Observer was less keen; while he felt there was much to applaud, there was also 'plenty to regret'.[note 4] Kermode agreed that the source material provided 'heady inspiration', and that Cotillard plays everything with 'kamikaze-style intensity', but thought the film lacking in structure and narrative, creating 'an oddly empty experience'.[11]

'La Vie en rose' (French pronunciation: [la vi ɑ̃ ʁoz]; French: Life in pink) is the signature song of popular French singer Édith Piaf, written in 1945,[2] popularized in 1946, and released as a single in 1947. The song became very popular in the US in 1950 with no fewer than seven different versions reaching the Billboard charts. These were by Tony Martin, Paul Weston, Bing Crosby (recorded June 22, 1950),[3]Ralph Flanagan, Victor Young, and Louis Armstrong.[4]
A version in 1977 by Jamaican singer Grace Jones was also a successful international hit.[5] 'La Vie en rose' has been covered by many other artists over the years, including a 1993 version by American singer Donna Summer. Harry James also recorded a version in 1950 on Columbia 38768. Bing Crosby recorded the song again for his 1953 album Le Bing: Song Hits of Paris.

Background and release[edit]
The song's title can be translated as 'Life in happy hues,' 'Life seen through happy lenses,' 'Life in rosy hues'; its literal meaning is 'Life in Pink.'[6]
La Vie en rose (May 1945) is a song by Édith Piaf, with music by Louiguy, Édith Piaf being the lyricist, but not the composer, registered with SACEM.[7] It was probably Robert Chauvigny who finalised the music, and when Édith suggested to Marguerite Monnot that she sign, the latter rejected 'that foolishness.' It was eventually Louiguy who accepted the authorship of the music. It was broadcast before being recorded. Piaf offered the song to Marianne Michel, who modified the lyrics slightly, changing 'les choses' ('things') for 'la vie' ('life'). In 1943, Piaf had performed at a nightclub/bordello called 'La Vie en Rose.'[8] Initially, Piaf's peers and songwriting team didn't think the song would be successful, finding it weaker than the rest of her repertoire. Heeding their advice, the singer put the song aside, only to change her mind the next year. It was performed live in concert for the first time in 1946. It became a favorite with audiences.[7] 'La Vie en rose' was the song that made Piaf internationally famous, with its lyrics expressing the joy of finding true love and appealing to those who had survived the difficult period of World War II.[9]
'La Vie en rose' was released on a 10' single in 1947 by Columbia Records, a division of EMI, with 'Un refrain courait dans la rue' making the B-side. It met with a warm reception and sold a million copies in the US.[10] It was the biggest-selling single of 1948 in Italy, and the ninth biggest-selling single in Brazil in 1949.[11] Piaf performed the song in the 1948 French movie Neuf garçons, un cœur. The first of her albums to include 'La Vie en rose' was the 10' Chansons parisiennes, released in 1950. It appeared on most of Piaf's subsequent albums, and on numerous greatest hits compilations. It went on to become her signature song and her trademark hit, sitting with 'Milord' and 'Non, je ne regrette rien' among her best-known and most recognizable tunes. Encouraged by its success, Piaf wrote 80 more songs in her career.[7]
English lyrics were written by Mack David and numerous versions were recorded in the US in 1950. Those that charted were by Tony Martin (reached the No. 9 position in the Billboard charts), Paul Weston (No. 12 position), Bing Crosby (No. 13 position), Edith Piaf (No. 23 position), Ralph Flanagan (No. 27 position) and Victor Young (No. 27 position). Louis Armstrong recorded C'est si bon and La Vie en rose in New York City with Sy Oliver and his Orchestra on June 26, 1950[12] and this reached the No. 28 position in the Billboard charts.[13] Bing Crosby also recorded the song in French in 1953 for his album Le Bing: Song Hits of Paris.
The song received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998.[14]

Jamaican singer Grace Jones covered 'La Vie en rose' in 1977 for her debut studio albumPortfolio. It was the third and the last single off that album, and at the same time, her first single release on Island Records after having signed with the label.
The single version was heavily edited from its original album version being more than seven minutes long to a 3.5-minute track. Jones' fairly radical bossa nova interpretation of Édith Piaf's signature tune became her first international hit single and a staple of her repertoire. It was later performed as part of her 1981 A One Man Show, then the only track from her disco era to be included in the show. In Spain and Mexico the track was billed as 'La Vida en rosa' on the 7' single release, although it was not a Spanish version of the song. Jones' recording of 'La Vie en rose' was later re-released a number of times in the early 1980s and finally reached #12 in the UK charts when re-released as a double A-side with 'Pull Up to the Bumper' in 1985. The single was certified Gold in France and Italy.[26]
Grace Jones about the song: 'That's a very special song to me. Oh God, I cry every time I sing it. I had quite a few French lovers, so every time I sing it I think about them.'[27]
It has sold 158,700 copies in France.[28] The music video for the song was made using the chroma key technique. It presents Grace dancing and singing the song with the famous 1978 montage picture of herself in the background, which was later used for the cover of her 1985 Island Life compilation. The video begins with Grace wearing a rose-patterned coat. Having removed it, the singer dances in a scant gold dress which reveals her right nipple as well as black underwear.

The Australian Classifications Board has rated two more Sonic the Hedgehog games for 3DS Virtual Console.
The Game Gear titles Sonic Blast and Sonic Labyrinth have both been rated for 3DS Virtual Console, indicating we'll see them somewhere further down the line. While neither is fondly remembered as a classic title in the Sonic canon — to say the least, in Labyrinth's case — more hedgehog games are always welcome here.
As we reported yesterday, Game Gear hits the eShop in North America on 15th March.
This is confusing,so Sonic Labyrinth is a GG version of 3D Blast and Blast is a just a normal side scroller?
@wiiwii Labyrinth isn't connected to 3D Blast other than them both sharing an isometric viewpoint Blast is a regular Sonic platformer though.
So two "Bad" Sonic titles? Alright, might bite since I always was interested in trying them out.
Sonic Labyrinth's cover makes me want to buy it anyway. Could that be the gravest mistake of my life???
Sonic Labyrinth is NOT a true Sonic game. Sonic moves at 1 mile per hour unless you use that uncontrollable spin-dash. It was so weird.
How? And don't say on the Genesis because thats not supported. Master System may one day be supported once they start exhausting the Game Gear games though.
I think the original Game Gear Sonic is one of the best on the platform - so I hope SEGA put that game on the VC at some point.
I'll pass on these two.
Sonic Blast? Yes. Sonic Labyrinth? Hell naw.
I'd like to see Sonic 1 on the VC, that was (and still is) a blast to play on my Game Gear. Hope to see these titles popping up on the UK eShop soon.
Saw videos of Sonic Blast. Looks bloody awful. At least there's Triple Trouble.
Ahh labrynth, the worst sonic game at the genesis era.
WHY?! Sega, just let us forget about these games already. If you're willing to let us forget Sonic '06 and The Black Knight, let us forget these two atrocities!
To be honest, all of Sonic's Game Gear games were horrible. They're some of the worst games I have ever played. Besides, you can play them all in Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Gems Collection if you're really curious so don't waste your money.
I can see perhaps Sega wants to start with Triple Trouble and Sonic Blast because those weren't Master System games to begin with.
The only Game Gear Sonic games I like are the first one, Chaos, and Triple Trouble. Everything else are either terrible, mediocre, or meh at best. It would be awesome if Sega also release that one Sonic game they made for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, that one was ten times better than any of the Game Gear Sonic games.
While I'm willing to download Blast...why in the holy name of Sega is Labyrinth being released on the 3DS VC!? Seriously, that game is pure cr*p.
Uh, why are they skipping Sonic 1? Sure the Master System versions of 1, 2, and Chaos are better but they're way better than those two.
Also, they could be putting out Ristar, Dynamite Headdy, Super Columns, and GG Shinobi 2.
All of which are excellent.
I actually like Sonic Labyrinth. It is one of my favourite Game Gear games. Sure it's not the greatest game, but I think people bash it because it's not a typical side scrolling game that Sonic is more known for. Still, I would buy it despite the review Nintendo Life give.
Now Sonic Blast, man that game is hard to find. I actually paid £15 on ebay just to get the damn cartridge. Was it worth it? Nope. The sprites looked too big, levels made no sense, music was horrible and not very fun to play. It is a shame because Knuckles was playable in this one.
@Angelic_Lapras_King Master System games would be pretty cool, it's the only reason I can figure for why they skipped the other Game Gear Sonic games and went straight to Triple Trouble.
Personally, I'd rather them for the bigger viewing area.
I still have both the Master System and Game Gear versions of Sonic 1 and much prefer the redrawn colourful look of the Game Gear version (his shoes are red for one thing). Levels were slightly adapted for the smaller screen size. For PAL gamers it also ran faster than the 50Hz Master System version.
I think Sonic Adventure DX did not emulate the game very well, as I found glitches that were not present in the original.
OH, COME ON! Those were 2 of the worst Sonic games ever made! Why couldn't we have the original first two. You know the Master System ones. That's really all I wanted.
Im i the only one getting these for a look into Sonics darker handheld past?
If y'all are interested in other Game Gear Games this is a pretty good list: www.listoid.com/list/214 . You can vote up ones you like and add more that are missing.

El enfoque basado en los derechos humanos o, por sus siglas en castellano, EBDH, es un marco conceptual para el proceso de desarrollo humano. Desde el punto de vista normativo, se basa en las normas internacionales de derechos y, desde el punto de vista operacional, se orienta a la promoción y protección de los derechos humanos.

Su propósito es analizar las desigualdades que generan los problemas de desarrollo, corregir prácticas que discriminan y resolver el reparto injusto de poder que obstaculizan el progreso en materia de desarrollo.

Dentro del programa de reforma de las Naciones Unidas puesto en marcha en 1997, el Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas instó a todas las entidades del sistema de las Naciones Unidas a incorporar sistemáticamente los derechos humanos en sus actividades y programas.

El enfoque de derechos, a diferencia de otros, reivindica el papel del Estado para garantizar el desarrollo humano y establece la política social como un derecho social, contempla el impulso de políticas institucionales tendientes a que las personas se apropien de sus derechos y participen de manera activa en su desarrollo social y controlen las acciones públicas en esa materia.

Atributos fundamentales
No existe un procedimiento para cada caso, pero los organismos de las Naciones Unidas han acordado un conjunto de atributos fundamentales para actuar con un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos:

 Cuando se formulen las políticas y los programas de desarrollo, el objetivo principal deberá ser la realización de los derechos humanos.

 Se identificará a las personas o grupos titulares de derechos y a aquello a lo que tienen derecho, y a los correspondientes titulares de deberes y las obligaciones que les incumben.

 Se procurará fortalecer la capacidad de las y los titulares de derechos para reivindicar estos y de los titulares de deberes para cumplir sus obligaciones.

 Los principios y las normas contenidos en los tratados internacionales de derechos humanos deben orientar toda la labor de cooperación y programación del desarrollo en todos los sectores y en todas las fases del proceso de programación.

 Un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos concede importancia no sólo a los resultados, sino también a los procedimientos. Las normas y los principios de derechos humanos -como la participación, la igualdad y la no discriminación, y la rendición de cuentas- han de integrarse en todas las etapas del proceso.

Argumentos
Existen varios argumentos en favor del enfoque basado en los derechos humanos:
 El argumento intrínseco, que reconoce que el enfoque basado en los derechos humanos es lo correcto desde el punto de vista moral o jurídico.
 El argumento instrumental, que reconoce que un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos conduce a resultados mejores y más sostenibles en materia de desarrollo humano.
 La caridad en sí no es suficiente, los enfoques basados en las necesidades o en la prestación de servicios tampoco han logrado resultados sustanciales. Una importante limitación de estos enfoques ha sido que con frecuencia los ponen en práctica autoridades que tal vez no sean sensibles a las necesidades de las personas a las que deben atender. Así, se acude a los Derechos Humanos no sólo como forma de argumentar acciones sino como metodología de trabajo.
 Se considera que más eficaz que un planteamiento único puede ser el combinar los derechos humanos, el desarrollo y el activismo.

If you're a professional CPA you understand the importance of successfully building up and maintaining a client base and protecting your reputation. Accomplishing these goals, however, involves more than simply offering high-quality, insightful service. You also need to make sure your clients (potential and existing) are able to communicate with your firm as quickly and easily as possible.
To this end Reliable Receptionist offers highly affordable, high caliber phone management services to ensure that each and every one of your callers is treated professionally from the moment they finish dialing until they reach the team member who can help them. More specifically, consider the following eleven reasons your accounting firm needs a team of virtual receptionist in your corner.
1 1. Your clients' first contact will be with the receptionist responsible for answering your phones.
2 2. Callers are high priority leads, and should always be treated as such.
3 3. They can be trained to collect critical lead information from the first call, not the follow up return call or first visit.
4 4. Once integrated into your scheduling system, they can automatically make appointments for new clients as you decide.
5 5. They can also provide courtesy calls.
6 6. Ready answers for calls regarding your office hours, availability, rates, or other common questions.
7 7. Phones can be a burden on your full-time staff.
8 8. They make a great impression.
9 9. We're very affordable.
10 10. No more nuisance calls.
11 11. You can right-size your service.
1. Your clients' first contact will be with the receptionist responsible for answering your phones.
That makes it incredibly important that you have the right person waiting to pick up on the phone on the first ring. Someone who can make an instant connection and who provides an impression of professionalism and efficiency.
2. Callers are high priority leads, and should always be treated as such.
Spreading calls around the office may work for a while, but ultimately it will result in important callers ending up on the line with a team member who has other things on their mind or who isn't prepared to make a great impression. A good introduction from a professional receptionist can go a long way towards preventing a negative situation.
3. They can be trained to collect critical lead information from the first call, not the follow up return call or first visit.
This way you can follow up on leads far more efficiently.
4. Once integrated into your scheduling system, they can automatically make appointments for new clients as you decide.
Freeing up time for your CPAs and other staff to run those appointments and support other production tasks.
5. They can also provide courtesy calls.
After all, reaching out to your clients before their appointments will increase your attendance rate.
6. Ready answers for calls regarding your office hours, availability, rates, or other common questions.
These minor questions can and should be handled by the receptionists so your team can keep working without frequent interruptions. And, because your account is handled by only one of several receptionists assigned to your account, they have plenty of time to learn your company and provide accurate information.
7. Phones can be a burden on your full-time staff.
Staff who may not be comfortable on the phones with prospective clients, or who are simply be too busy to deal with callers, or who's time is better spent on important projects, should focus on their core responsibilities without distraction. They can dramatically increase regular employee satisfaction and company efficiency.
8. They make a great impression.
They provide better service than auto attendant systems, are more flexible, and are better received (and perceived) by callers.
The cost of a virtual receptionist is still a fraction of the cost of hiring and training a full-time, 9-to-5 employee and provides many of the same benefits.
10. No more nuisance calls.
They will automatically filter out robo calls, solicitations, and other junk calls so your producers don't have to.
11. You can right-size your service.
The service and associated costs can be easily scaled up or down as your company has need, allowing you to right-size your expenses over time.

(Italiano) Prevenzione dell'estremismo violento o aiuto allo sviluppo dei media?
Jake Lynch | Centro Studi Sereno Regis – TRANSCEND Media Service, 26 Oct 2020
Nel far sì che le tematiche di giustizia trovino il loro spazio nelle sfere pubbliche, i media indipendenti che fanno Giornalismo di Pace possono costruire fiducia in comunità che possono proteggerli dalle asserzioni di combattere e distruggere. Possono suggerire al pubblico permettendogli di considerare e avvalorare risposte nonviolente ai conflitti.

Preventing Violent Extremism or Media Development Aid?
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 12 Oct 2020
The War on Terrorism was built on foundations of intellectual dishonesty. At worst, it was a pretext for continued military spending and deployment, iterated with a ferocity that waxed in precisely inverse proportion to the rapidly emerging evidence of its inefficacy in preventing terrorism. Its lineal descendants – initiatives to "counter" or "prevent violent extremism" have, likewise tended to grind remorselessly on, including in the fields of information and communication, despite having no evidential basis for expectation of success, even on their own terms.
Beyond Nation States: Time for Europe to Step Up?
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 Jul 2020
The unholy alliance, between Little Englander mythology and parasitical profiteering, should be recognised in Brussels as the strategic enemy it always was, to be weakened by all necessary means.
(Norwegian-Norsk) Rettssaken mot Julian Assange: hvorfor er han viktig for vår framtid?
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 29 Jun 2020
I 2006 opprettet den australske redaktøren Julian Assange WikiLeaks for å publisere hemmeligstemplet materiale og lekkasje fra varslere. Den 18. desember 2018 trykket Klassekampen et utfyllende intervju med Julian Assanges far John Shipton om USAs utleveringskrav og den henlagte voldtektssaken i Sverige. Assange risikerer 175 års fengsel i USA, og professor Jake Lynch forklarer hvorfor Assanges framtid er viktig for oss alle.
Where Truth Lies–How the Tories Get Away with Incompetence and Worse with Unwitting Aid from BBC News
Prof. Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 8 Jun 2020
When journalists uncover an important truth, they should report it – guided by the professional ethic boiled down in a famous quote from the war correspondent, Martha Gellhorn: "Limit yourself to what you see and hear. Do not invent and do not suppress". Only the truth is "filtered", to use the word of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky.
Save the BBC – But for What?
Prof. Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Apr 2020
Among the most significant challenges of political reporting today is the rise of the so-called 'alt-right', led by demagogues who specialise in evidence-averse rabble-rousing, notably on issues of race and immigration. A classic BBC kerfuffle followed the call by President Trump last year for members of the so-called 'squad' – four left-wing Democratic Congresswomen of colour – to "go back to the places from which they came". Three of the four were born in the USA. But it was clearly not Trump's intention to appeal for Rashida Tlaib to return from Washington to Detroit, or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the Bronx.
Making a Difference: 20 Years of Conflict-Resolving Media
Jake Lynch | The Peace Journalist – TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Feb 2020
"In my reportage, taking from the course, I always stay focused on stating facts, the truth and let the voice of the people dominate the narrative as opposed to political parties or 'elite sources' as you call them. These sources tend to have vested interests that I avoid. I focus on people's stories, the human-interest ones. Solutions are not what I intentionally work towards, but they can be inevitable outcome of any such endeavour and I hope for that".

The Trials of Julian Assange–and Why He Is Vital to Our Future
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 25 Nov 2019
Why are the UK authorities so keen to collude in the persecution of Julian Assange? For British officialdom to prostrate itself before the demands of its Washington ally is far from novel, of course. When America says 'jump', the British establishment reflex is to ask 'how high?' and 'into what country?' Inconveniently, WikiLeaks' most eye-catching revelations include a picture of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in which British troops were heavily involved, fundamentally at odds with ministers' optimistic presentation of 'our side' as the 'goodies'.

Peace Journalism for the Koreas Negotiations
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 12 Aug 2019
What can the Peace Journalism playbook contribute? How can readers and audiences be prompted and equipped to consider and value nonviolent responses to the still-unresolved conflict on the Korean peninsula, with all its potential dangers? Look past slogans from both 'sides' to focus on the goals of the conflict parties, for one.
Brexit and the Dilemma of UK Labour
There might once have been a Brexit capable of meeting its criteria and concerns, and of bringing Britain together. That was destroyed by May's disastrous 'red lines', and the Tories appear intent on moving in Farage's direction by embracing a no-deal exit from the EU. In response to that, Corbyn will have to work out how to combine the campaigning appeal of Labour's pitch to transform Britain, and using the country's EU membership as a springboard to fight inequality and injustice.
On Western Civilisation
One of the best-known quotes about Western civilisation is the exchange attributed to the Mahatma Gandhi. What did he think of it? he was asked. The great man's reply – "that would be a good idea" – has passed into legend. An equally famous aperçu from the US writer and political candidate Upton Sinclair: "It is difficult to get a man (sic) to understand something", he wrote, "when his salary depends on his not understanding it".
Why I've Written an Historical Novel
Myth and mysticism are resurgent. Brexit will enable Britons to "take back control". Corporate tax cuts will lead to "jobs and growth". Australia's Great Barrier Reef has a "clean bill of health". Global warming is a "Chinese conspiracy". None of these claims withstands more than a minute's informed scrutiny, but that doesn't dispel them because, as Trump's lawyer, the former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, told NBC's Meet The Press recently, "truth isn't truth".
Peace Journalism in Lebanon
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 9 Apr 2018
Inaugural Conference, Association of Media Educators of Lebanon, Lebanese American University, Beirut 7-11 Dec 2017 — Lebanon is a country in acute need of Peace Journalism. In a general sense, there is a hunger among both journalists and their readers and audiences for ways to engage with social and political issues in the public sphere that do not exacerbate the tensions inherent in a diverse society, still coming to terms with the legacy of a vicious civil war.
Brexit and Its Discontents
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 12 Feb 2018
To the extent that grievances over inequalities in Britain drove the Leave vote, they were shooting at the wrong target. The UK cost of living crisis is due not to 'Brussels' but the actions of governments the British have elected to power in Westminster. The long-cherished vision of the Brexitollahs is for power to tilt still further in favour of employers and the wealthy.
(Italiano) È ora di sfidare il sistema bellico
Jake Lynch | Centro Studi Sereno Regis – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Nov 2017
Si sono osservate dinamiche che conducessero a una grandiosa cospirazione putativa, che coinvolgesse vari soggetti di vari settori – industria, militare, politica e media – attivi a tramare in segreto per sospingerci alla guerra, a prescindere dalle conseguenze, al fine di far soldi? Qui è dove attingiamo ai concetti forniti dalla sociologia per definire la portata dell'attività politica non nelle parole e negli atti di attori identificabili – l'aspetto 'comportamentale' – bensì in quanto forza generativa immagazzinata in e attivata da sistemi e strutture.
Time to Challenge the War System
Prof. Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 Nov 2017
Are these observations leading to a putative grand conspiracy involving individuals in different domains–industry, military, politics and media–scheming in secret to propel us into war in order to make money? This is where we reach for the concepts furnished by social science to locate political agency not in the words and deeds of identifiable actors but instead as a generative force that is stored in, and activated from, systems and structures.
What Is Peace Journalism?
Prof. Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Aug 2017
Peace journalism is when editors and reporters make choices – about what to report, and how to report it – that create opportunities for society at large to consider and to value non-violent responses to conflict.
Bugger the Journalism: The Slow Death of Critical Thinking in Australia
Jake Lynch – New Matilda, 7 Nov 2016
The Australian Research Council's latest funding round is rich on gadgets, but a wasteland to social justice projects and big ideas. My designated Field of Research is Journalism Studies. And yet, of 630 funded projects, the number in Journalism Studies is… zero. Yes, that's right: the square root of naff all.
Please Help Us Save the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney
Prof. Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 21 Mar 2016
CPACS has a long and distinguished record of bringing the perspectives of Peace with Justice to bear on the University's research, teaching and community outreach. We honour the tradition of speaking truth to power on vital issues where the mainstream of Australian politics and media would rather look the other way.
Open Letter to University of Sydney to Reject Calls to Punish Palestine-Justice Supporters
Jake Lynch, Sydney Staff for BDS – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Apr 2015
Calls are principally focussed on having Associate Professor Jake Lynch and Dr Nick Riemer dismissed from the university. In Lynch's case, this is the demand explicitly being made by the Australasian Union of Jewish Students. We call on you, Dr Spence, not to allow yourself to be made the agent of the Israel lobby's persecution of those committed to a just peace in the Middle East.
Please Help Us Save the University of Sydney's Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies
Jake Lynch, Australians for BDS – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Oct 2014
I am writing to ask you, who stood with us over our support for the Academic Boycott of Israel, to now write to the University of Sydney to help save the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies in its present form.
Time for BDS to Oppose Israeli War Crimes
16 Jul 2014 – I have spent the last year defending my right, through Australia's Federal Court, not to take part in fellowship schemes that link the University of Sydney, where I direct the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, and two institutions from Israel. This week, Judge Alan Robertson dismissed the case against me and awarded costs.
What's Really at Stake in the Sydney University BDS Affair?
Jake Lynch – New Matilda, 9 Jun 2014
People in Israel should realise that in the 21st century the world will not keep tolerating the Israeli occupation. This is realised by many in Israel and the responses include using the courts of other countries to close down political action intended to signal a refusal to tolerate the occupation, such as BDS.
(Italiano) Il Giornalismo di Pace indica la strada dalla Terra Santa al BDS
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 26 May 2014
'Stone Cold Justice', come spesso fa un articolo di Giornalismo di Pace, termina con un punto interrogativo. Israele può essere forte in questo momento, osserva John, ma cosa succederà quando l'attuale giovane generazione di palestinesi – in molti casi brutalizzati e traumatizzati – diventeranno adulti?
Free Speech and BDS Case: Applicants Wanting to Run!
Jake Lynch, Australians for BDS – TRANSCEND Media Service, 26 May 2014
At the Australian Federal Court, four of the five applicants to have me found guilty of racial discrimination applied to pull out of the action. That would leave only Shurat HaDin, the right-wing Israeli law centre. But I still need your help in meeting my legal bills, which are well into six figures.
Anzac Day: A Fitting Codicil to a Century of War
Jake Lynch – New Matilda, 28 Apr 2014
Military spending and mythology in Australia have taken on a life of their own. Perhaps we can use 2014 and 2015 to switch our critical faculties back on, and use our freedom and democracy to loosen the grip of the military-industrial complex and our deference to warmongers across the Pacific. That would be a fitting codicil to a century of war.
Peace Journalism from the Holy Land Points the Way to BDS
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 21 Apr 2014
It calls for journalism to offer backgrounds and contexts of conflict, not just the familiar series of big bangs; a wide range of voices rather than merely a leader on each 'side'; supply readers and audiences with the means to challenge dominant accounts, and therefore resist propaganda; highlight peace initiatives, however small, which are always underway in any conflict, perhaps in out-of-the-way places; and show images of peace as well as those of war.
Victory in Sight for Defend Free Speech and Support BDS
Jake Lynch, Australians for BDS - TRANSCEND Media Service, 24 Mar 2014
Tomorrow (March 25th, 2014) is scheduled as a full day in the Australian Federal Court as I defend myself against the application to have my stance on the academic boycott of Israel declared illegal. The court proceedings have been going well up to now, but the case is a complicated one, and the legal bills are rolling in. If you haven't contributed yet, now would be a good time to do it. Thank you!
Legal Fund for Academic Boycott of Israel
Jake Lynch, Australians for BDS – TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Mar 2014
UPDATE March 17, 2014 – Associate Professor Jake Lynch, Director of Sydney University's Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies [and TMS advisor], has been taken to the Federal Court of Australia due to his support of the Palestinian call for academic boycott of Israel. The court case is now entering a crucial phase. Over 250 of you have made a donation to the legal fund so far. Please make your donation here—however small. Thank you!
Fighting Fund for Academic Boycott of Israel
(Jake Lynch) Australians for BDS – TRANSCEND Media Service, 3 Mar 2014
February 2014 – Associate Professor Jake Lynch, Director of Sydney University's Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies [and TMS advisor/peace journalist], has been taken to the Federal Court of Australia by the Israel Law Centre, due to his support of the Palestinian call for academic boycott of Israel. We call on our supporters to MAKE A DONATION to support Jake Lynch's fight for our democratic rights.
Taking Me to Court Won't Stop BDS
Jake Lynch, New Matilda – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Dec 2013
The More Informed People Are About Israel-Palestine, the More Likely They Are to Sympathise With the Palestinians – This week in Australia's Federal Court I am defending my right not to participate in institutional arrangements with Israeli higher education, in response to the call by Palestinian civil society for an academic and cultural boycott.
Boycott Movement under Attack in Australia
The right of academics in Australia to join the boycott of Israel is under threat from an Israeli law centre that has filed suit against me under anti-discrimination laws… A legal victory will present a great opportunity to spread the boycott campaign among Australian academics. My hunch is that there is a large potential constituency, silenced up to now by fear. Our job is to dispel that fear.
What 'Impartial' Means At the Oz
Jake Lynch, New Matilda - TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Dec 2012
Journalist Christian Kerr recently filed a series of critical articles in The Australian about me over my support for an academic boycott of Israel, and then boasted to friends about using the paper to further his own views on the subject.
Why I Boycott Israel
Sydney University academic Jake Lynch has come under fire this week [13 Dec 2012] for his stance on Israel. Today he argues his case: Palestinians and dissenting Israelis need international support to achieve justice.
Peace Journalism in Mexico
Jake Lynch, New Matilda – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Jul 2012
There's a concentration on arrests of alleged "kingpins" of the drug cartels, and on the death and destruction they leave in their wake as they scrabble for control of key smuggling routes. There is much less space for exploring why some people join the gangs in the first place, and what could be done — and is being done — to offer them a route to a better future.
Sri Lanka: International Governments Must Take the Lead in Investigating War Crimes
Jake Lynch – The Conversation, 19 Mar 2012
There is a growing danger that the political leaders responsible for the greatest single atrocity of recent years will suffer no consequences. Journalists, not governments, have taken a lead in raising the issue to the international agenda of command responsibility for violations of humanitarian law in Sri Lanka.
What Did The Gaza Flotilla Achieve?
The Isreali navy prevented Freedom Flotilla activists from delivering aid supplies to the Gaza Strip – but the mission has had an unexpected impact on political debate here, writes Jake Lynch.
News Goo Episode 1
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Mar 2011
In the launch edition of News Goo, Jake Lynch interviews Julian Burnside QC, and the journalist, author and film-maker John Pilger, about the investigative journalism of WikiLeaks.
Has The Pro-Israel Lobby Subverted Australian Democracy?
So, was there an elaborate plot, involving the active connivance of pro-Israel groups, the US embassy, the mining industry and the Right faction of the ALP, and kept successfully secret, to bring Rudd down and install Gillard in his place? To pose the question in those terms is to stretch credulity, but of course there is a way to answer it, which resonates with abundant life experience, and is encapsulated in another question: cui bono? (Or perhaps we could simply say: Go Figure).
Pressure for an Independent Umpire in Sri Lanka
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 8 Nov 2010
James Bourne spoke to the Sri Lanka Human Rights Project coordinator, Professor Jake Lynch, about the political situation in Sri Lanka- and how sport can be used as an effective tool of persuasion.
Peace Research and Peace Activism
"When peace research was launched as an academic field… the idea from the beginning was that this should be an applied social science with a value commitment: peace by peaceful means". So writes Johan Galtung, in Searching for Peace, of the founding of the Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO), in 1959.
Beyond Dualism: Reporting Conflicts in the Post-Electoral Mediascape
To 'hear both sides' is, of course, the surest way to avoid allegations of bias – but it elevates, to the status of convention, a way of reporting that divides the world around us into dyads: home and abroad ('boat people'); humanity against nature (Pakistan floods); us and them ('the Taliban'); Left against Right.
Puncturing Pomposity
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Sep 2010
Proposition: the pomposity of self-satisfied elites serves to normalise the unthinkable. Edward Herman, writing about Hannah Arendt's concept of the 'banality of evil', says: "This is the process whereby ugly, degrading, murderous and unspeakable acts become routine and are accepted as 'the way things are done'."
Communicating Positive Peace in Australia
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 5 Jul 2010
The brightly coloured ute stood out in the traffic crawling through the historic Indonesian city of Yogyakarta. As we drew closer, we could pick out the design, lovingly spray-painted on the side: the all too recognisable face of Osama bin Laden, and the single word, 'damai', meaning, of course, 'peace'.
The World's First Demonstration for Peace Journalism?
The theme of the demo is 'Give Peace a Chance'. It is – as far as we know – a world first, being a demonstration in favour of peace journalism. In our book of the same name, Annabel McGoldrick and I define peace journalism in these terms: "Peace journalism is when editors and reporters make choices – of what stories to report, and how to report them – that create opportunities for society at large to consider and value non-violent responses to conflict". Such choices are subjugated, in most media, most of the time, by journalistic conventions: conventions that grow out of the economic and political interests of the news industry. This is why, as Richard Keeble argues, "We need to move away from the concept of the audience as a passive consumer of a professional product to seeing the audience as producers of their own (written or visual) media".
Communicating Peace: Organiser's Introduction to IPRA Sydney 2010
Sydney plays host, from July 6-10, to the biennial global conference of IPRA, the International Peace Research Association. The keynote speaker is Johan Galtung. Delegates can register for the whole conference or for one day.
Censorship in a Slingshot
Jake Lynch – TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Jun 2010
Israel's attacks on humanitarian workers heading for Gaza have been called piracy, murder, 'state terrorism', even an act of war against the countries whose flags the boats were flying. On the other side has been a massive and cynical campaign of misinformation and misdirection, aimed at muddying the waters and deflecting responsibility.
When you give aid in a context of armed conflict, you become part of that context and also therefore part of the conflict. The aphorism is from Do No Harm, by Mary B Anderson, the book-length account of an approach to development and humanitarian fieldwork that attempts to identify and foster local capacities and resources for peace.
Security for Australia in the 'Asia Pacific Century' (Part 2)
Let's cup our ear to some echoes from the past. Andrew Alexander, a journalist on the right- of-centre Daily Mail newspaper in the UK, recounted how his research for a book about the origins of the Cold War confounded his presuppositions: there had, in reality, been "no Soviet military threat", and wrong-headed western assessments that one existed were responsible for "one of the most unnecessary conflicts of all time, and certainly the most perilous".
It looked like a raised middle finger. A stark, mocking figure 1 – the number of votes garnered when Australia put itself forward a couple of years ago for membership of the United Nations Security Council. Even Iran found thirty-two supporters when it stood for election in the same round. Australia, apparently, was friendless. So why did the international community shun Kevin Rudd's ambitions for greater recognition on the world stage?
United Nations World Press Freedom Day
Not a column this week but a podcast, by the UN, to mark World Press Freedom Day, with fellow guests Jenny Manrique, a Colombian journalist, and Brendan O'Malley, journalist and author of UNESCO's 2010 Education Under Attack report.
Apartheid Is Alive and Well
There is a place where indigenous blacks are still being shunted off their land into reservations; where work is rewarded not with wages but with ration cards, to spend in white-owned supermarkets; where public services are lavished on the already wealthy but denied to the poorest unless they agree to hand over their birthright.
Blatant Victimisation
Australia is often a good place to observe the workings of political agency. There is a blatancy here, in the connection between cause and consequence, and the alacrity with which sectional interests exploit procedures, that is both appalling and, in a perverse kind of a way, simultaneously appealing. Political parties and business lobbies seem to feel little compulsion to concealment: there is not the sense of layers of subtlety having to be peeled back to reveal what is 'really going on', that one might encounter in Washington, say, or London, Paris, Delhi or Jakarta.
THE 'MISSING' AFGHANS
Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick, with additional research by Indra Adnan, 17 Mar 2010
A cricketing joke from the 1980s saw Mark Waugh, the Australian batsman, nicknamed 'Afghan'. Struggling to emerge from the shadows of brother Steve, he was always in danger of being overlooked: 'the forgotten Waugh'. The war in Afghanistan is a canvas on to which powerful intervening nations project their own preoccupations; one that goes through […]
FEMINISE THE REPORTING OF AFGHANISTAN
Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick, with additional research by Indra Adnan - TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Mar 2010
For much of the last decade, the war in Afghanistan was obscured, in the media of troop-contributing countries, by news from Iraq, to the extent that it became, once again, "the forgotten war". Those assessments came on the basis of reporting in 2006, since when Afghanistan has grown in salience, but the vast majority of […]
THE 'WAR ON TERRORISM' AND THE STRUGGLE FOR CONTEXT
Jake Lynch, 27 Feb 2010
George W Bush explicitly likened his so-called "war on terrorism" to the generational challenge posed by the Cold War, but it never convinced to anything like the same extent. In December, 2001, shortly after the '9/11' attacks, three respected institutions – the Pew Research Centre, Princeton Survey Research Associates and the International Herald Tribune newspaper […]
CAPITALISM AND HUMAN RIGHTS: A REVIEW OF CIVILISING GLOBALISATION
"Globalisation, like the idea of God, is known to us all, even if we do not believe in it or understand it". So says David Kinley, Professor of Human Rights Law at Sydney University. Readers of his book will certainly emerge with a deeper understanding of the processes shaping our interdependent world; whether they believe […]
BETWEEN IRAQ AND A HARD PLACE
Jake Lynch, 5 Feb 2010
"If people really knew, the war would be stopped tomorrow. But of course they don't know, and can't know. The correspondents don't write and the censorship wouldn't pass the truth. What they do send is not the war, but just a pretty picture of the war with everybody doing gallant deeds". The words are from […]
Jake Lynch, 24 Jan 2010
"Peace is not the absence of war", Martin Luther King told us: "it is the presence of justice". King's legacy transmitted itself directly into the mantra of African-American activists, outraged over the beating, by LA police officers, of the black motorist, Rodney King, in 1991: "No justice, no peace", they chanted. It's an important answer […]
CULTURE-JAMMING
Jake Lynch, 3 Jan 2010
Public space is shrinking. Shopping malls cover it over on the ground; even publicly owned TV channels accept advertising. The shirt of your favourite sports team is incomplete without at least one corporate logo, often many more. Media of all kinds have become ever more explicitly geared to selling; a function that has infected and […]

AGENCY AND INTERVENTION
Jake Lynch, with additional research by Emily Parsons-Lord, 11 Dec 2009
Drug money from trading across the Sahara desert is funding insurgents and 'terrorists'. So said the UN Office on Drugs and Crime this week, invoking an alarming vision of West African cocaine meeting heroin coming through East Africa, with the proceeds being used by "terrorists and anti-government forces… to fund their operations, purchase equipment and […]

Jake Lynch, 27 Nov 2009
With the Jerusalem Centre for WomenSo now, it's a game of chicken.

Start talking to us and we'll stop expanding settlements, says Israeli president Shimon Peres, […]
SRI LANKA: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The news that the Government of Sri Lanka is to close the internment camps where thousands of Tamils were illegally detained, following the end of the country's civil war against the Tamil Tiger rebels six months ago, is testimony to the effect of international pressure. The European Union backed the call by Judge Navi Pillay, […]
BACK TO BASICS FOR PALESTINIAN STRUGGLE
Jake Lynch and Majd Beltaji, 15 Nov 2009
The decision by Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas not to seek re-election in January, and the vote at the UN General Assembly paving the way for the Security Council to consider the Goldstone Report, should, between them, prove a turning point in the Palestinian struggle for self-determination. Even the patient Mr Abbas has now apparently given […]

Jake Lynch, 30 Oct 2009
Here in Australia, 'Sri Lanka Week' has shrunk to a long weekend. The trade and investment shindig in Melbourne's Docklands was scheduled to take place back in June, but was called off amid outrage over the Sri Lankan army's pounding of Tamil areas and UN estimates of 20,000 deaths. It was back on, from Friday […]

The Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney came about after a campaign by students and staff to have peace taught within its hallowed sandstone walls.

MORE ON MENDES, PILGER AND "PALESTINIAN LAND"
Jake Lynch, 19 Sep 2009
Philip Mendes protests, in his statement to TMS, that he himself is a supporter of a "two-state solution" and that, by comparison, John Pilger is "a hardline extremist [whose] public writings all suggest a position favouring the dissolution of the existing State of Israel, and its replacement by an Arab state of Greater Palestine". This […]
FREE SPEECH AND THE PRO-ISRAEL LOBBY
Have you ever had the feeling that the walls closing in? So narrow has political debate become here in Australia, over the Israel/Palestine conflict, that attempts to remind Australians of basic facts, well accepted in the global community, are falling foul of censorship – silenced by the swish of a bureaucrat's pen. Journalists at public […]

The conversation, in Sinhala, is casual, punctuated by laughter as well as the background noise of heavy weapons.

PEACE JOURNALISM FOR JOURNALISTS
Peace journalism has emerged, since the mid-1990s, as a new, trans-disciplinary field, of interest to professional journalists, in both developed and developing countries, and to civil society activists, university researchers and others interested in the conflict-media nexus. It offers both a set of practical plans and options for editors and reporters, and a basis for […]

Friends of the Earth, the UK-based environmental advocacy group, greeted the British government's plan, announced this week, for deep cuts in the emission of greenhouse gases, with something approaching jubilation.

IS AUSTRALIA PARTLY TO BLAME FOR ISRAELI LAWLESSNESS?
Days after the Deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, was greeted in Israel and thanked for having been "alone in sticking by us" during Operation Cast Lead, the attack on the Gaza Strip in December and January, the Jewish state added piracy to its list of recent crimes against international law. The two developments are connected, […]
JAKE'S COMPLAINT TO THE AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION (ABC)
Jake Lynch, 3 Jul 2009
Peace journalism is a way for news organizations in general, and broadcasters in particular, to fulfill their obligations and practise their values and aspirations in stories about conflict. In Johan Galtung's words, "peace journalism makes audible and visible the subjugated aspects of reality". News conventions mean that important stories, and bits of stories, are always […]
HOW AMERICA IS ALWAYS AT WAR – AND WHY
Jake Lynch, 26 Jun 2009
Early 2009 will be remembered as a turning point in America's relations with the rest of the world. Not because Team Obama took over Washington's diplomatic effort, welcome though that has been. What tells us more about the underlying dynamics of global conflict is that the US switched, at some point following the inauguration back […]
UP CLOSE AND SPINELESS WITH AUSTRALIA'S DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
There's a fascinating exhibition at the Australian museum in Sydney. Titled 'Up Close and Spineless', it features winning entries in a photography competition focusing on the colourful world of invertebrates. These, along with the permanent insect exhibits, struck me as an apt metaphor for Australia's 'Foreign Affairs community': a swarm of politicians, public servants, think-tankers […]
MORE ON BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL
Jake Lynch, 6 Jun 2009
Responses have poured in to my column of last week (Why I'm Joining the Academic Boycott of Israel). All but a couple have been constructive. Some have raised important questions and counterpoints, worthy of serious consideration. Perhaps the chief concern has been over the effect the boycott may have on relationships that constitute indispensable raw […]
WHY I'M JOINING THE ACADEMIC BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL
Jake Lynch, 31 May 2009
Nearly two-thirds of Israelis in favour of direct, substantive negotiations between their own government and the leadership of Hamas. Some mistake, surely? Actually no – this was the finding of an opinion survey in February 2008 by Tel Aviv University. Barely ten months later, as 'Operation Cast Lead' got underway, pollsters were finding still higher […]
'Nationalist thug terrorises, massacres civilians in drive to crush separatists'. It's a story which, when played out in southeast Europe a decade ago, brought fearful retribution on the head of the perpetrator, Yugoslavia's president, Slobodan Milosevic.

OUTRAGE OR OPPOSITION?
Several important objections have come in, from knowledgeable and experienced observers, to my last column (Civilian Populations) arguing that pronouncing oneself in favour of human rights should predicate opposition to war. One is from Professor George Kent of the University of Hawaii, who says: "I think it is important not to mix outrage at particular […]
CIVILIAN POPULATIONS
The 'Ishaqi massacre' of March 2006 made headlines because it triggered a rare public dispute between US occupying forces and Iraqi police, who accused Marines of rounding up 11 people, including five small children, shooting them and blowing up their house.

A TREAT OF WORDS AND MUSIC
What is peace journalism? How would peace journalists report on the conflicts in Afghanistan, or Israel and Palestine?

Both of our peace journalism films, News from the Holy Land and Peace Journalism in the Philippines, open with two versions of the same story.

THE PLIGHT OF THE PAPUANS
Indonesia is heading in some promising directions. Triumph for the Democrat Party of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono – 'SBY' – in the country's parliamentary elections, amounts to a handsome endorsement for a general-turned-politician who is, in many ways, a significant reformer.

THE END OF NEO-LIBERALISM?
It's a sign of the unholy alliance between journalists and political classes that we are so often told that radical, epoch-shifting change is in the air. Eras are regularly brought to an end.

INTERNATIONAL LAW IN THE NEWS
Was Israel's attack on Gaza illegal under international law?

Why do Russian dentists extract their patients' teeth through the nose? Because Russians are afraid to open their mouths.

DETROIT >> The Detroit Catholic Central wrestling program isn't new to making history.
The Shamrocks do it quite often.
On Saturday, Shamrock senior Kevon Davenport did something no other has, writing a new chapter in the CC history books.
Davenport won his fourth state championship in four years at Ford Field when he defeated Bay City Western's Vic Schoenherr, 7-3, in the 145-pound Division 1 final. Davenport became the 26th wrestler in MHSAA history to win four titles in four years. However, he became the first African-American to accomplish such a feat.
Davenport (35-1) was one of seven Catholic Central wrestlers to claim an individual championship on Saturday, five of which had already won a championship in previous years.
Senior Cameron Amine won the D1 title at 152 pounds by defeating Lake Orion's Jaden Fisher, 11-3. Amine won the championship as a freshman and sophomore before finishing runner-up as a junior. That loss in last year's final was a driving force to Amine going 37-0 on the season.
Junior Joshua Edmond (135), junior Derek Gilcher (140) and senior Easton Turner (189) all repeated as state champs in their respective weight classes. Edmond earned a 7-3 decision win over Brody Kemper of Grand Blanc to finish the season 37-2.
Gilcher (32-2) had the unenviable task of facing teammate Marc Shaeffer in his final. Gilcher held off Shaeffer for a 7-2 victory.
Turner (37-3) bested Cal Stefanko of Davison, 4-0, to claim his second championship. Turner has been battling a left-shoulder injury that he hasn't had diagnosed yet, but has forced him to wear a large brace for the final stages of the season.
At 285 pounds, junior Steven Kolcheff earned his first state championship after finishing runner-up in 2018. Kolcheff bested Mahdi Hazime of Fordson, 4-0. He finishes the season 36-3.
Junior Brendin Yatooma closed the night at 215 pounds, defeating Kyle Scott of Hudsonville by pinfall (3:16) to earn his first championship. Yatooma ends his MHSAA season 39-3.
Plenty of other history was made on Saturday, as both Farmington and Bishop Foley ended long championship droughts in wrestling.
Farmington senior Donovan King became the school's first champion since 1975 when he defeated Jaren Johnson of Warren Lincoln with a pinfall in the third round (4:39) of their 285-pound match in Division 2.
King (51-2) suffered a torn ACL during the fall, causing him to miss most of the football season with the Falcons, but a quick recovery now has him as a state champion in wrestling.
Bishop Foley crowned its first champion since 1971 when senior Kendel Taylor won the 189-pound championship in Division 3 by defeating Kayleb Venema of Whitehall, 9-3.
Taylor only placed fourth in the regional, but put together his best weekend to finish the season with a 37-4 record.
Rochester sophomore Kavan Troy finished a perfect 50-0 season with a third-round pin (5:05) over Aden Williams of Davison in the final of the 103-pound weight class in Division 1. Troy failed to qualify for the finals as a freshmen but cited a dedication to getting stronger as the reason he won a state title this weekend.
Along with Fisher and Shaeffer, five other Oakland County wrestlers finished second in the state.
Waterford Kettering junior TJ Daugherty lost a 3-0 decision to Kyle Kantola of Hartland in the D1, 130-pound final. Clarkston senior Devin Trevino lost a 9-3 decision to Davison's Alex Facundo in the D1, 160-pound final. Lake Orion senior Dylan Wellbaum lost to Brighton's River Shettler in the 171-pound final for Division 1. Wellbaum lost a point for stalling in double overtime to give Shettler a 2-1 victory.
In Division 2, Holly junior Nate Young lost 6-0 to St.Johns' Kaleob Whitford in the 130-pound final. Also in D2, Madison Heights Lamphere senior Matthew Tomsett lost to Croswell-Lexington's Christopher Lilly, 6-3, in the 135-pound final.
