Rami Harpaz (February 1, 1939 – January 24, 2019) was a Colonel in the Israel Defence Forces and an IDF prisoner of war during the War of Attrition. Harpaz served as a fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force and spent three and a half years in an Egyptian prison. Following his release, he returned to the air force, and came to command the IAF base at Ramat David.

Biography

Harpaz was the son of Shifra and Shlomo Harpaz (Goldberg) and the brother of the astrophysicist Amos Harpaz. He was born in Herzliya and grew up in Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek and Kibbutz Hazorea. In his youth, he was a member of the Israel Aviation Club and the Air Force youth movement. Harpaz enlisted in the IDF in 1956 and completed a pilot course (No. 25) in August 1958, majoring in combat. In the advanced training course he flew the Dassault Ouragan and then served as a fighter pilot in Dassault Mystere and Dassault Super Mystere squadrons. He instructed in the IAF flight school and in an advanced training course, served in the Scorpion squadron and was discharged from regular service in 1961. He worked at Kibbutz Hazorea and did a year of service at Kibbutz Zikim. During the Six Day War, he served as a first lieutenant in the 107th Squadron, flying the Ouragan, and served as a senior leader in attack formations. He participated in 24 operational sorties during the war, the highest number among air force fighter pilots.

After the war he re-enlisted into permanent service. He converted to the Dassault Mirage III which he flew with 117t Squadron. He was later a member of the A-44 Skyhawk absorption team and served with the 109th Squadron. During the War of Attrition with Egypt, he participated in many operational raids, first with 109th Squadron, with which he served until the arrival of the F-4 Phantom and took part in the raid on Green Island and Operation Raviv. After the arrival of the Phantoms, he served in the 69 Squadron as a systems officer, participated in anti-aircraft bombings at Fayed Airport, bombed an anti-aircraft bomb in Ja'eefa, flew a deterrent mission over Damascus in January 1970, carried out operations, attacked the port of Ras Banas and a destroyer anchored there, within Operation Hair and other sorties. During Operation Hair 7, on June 30, 1970, his aircraft was hit by an anti-aircraft missile and he and navigator Eyal Ahikar, were forced to eject over Egyptian territory. During his captivity he underwent severe interrogations and torture; he became the leader of Israeli prisoners imprisoned at this time in the Abassia prison in Cairo: Air Force team members Menachem Eini, Yitzhak Fir, Avinoam Kaldes, Amos Levitov and Amos Zamir; Reserve officer Dan Avidan; Paratrooper David Levy and two logistics soldiers Moti Cohen and Moti Bavli. Harpaz and his fellow pilots translated the book "The Hobbit" into Hebrew in what became known as the Pilots' translation. He was released from captivity in November 1973, after the Yom Kippur War.
Soon after he became a prisoner of war his twin daughters were born.

After his return from over 3 years of captivity he returned to serve as a pilot in the air force, he commanded a squadron and served as deputy commander of Etzion base.

He continued to serve in the reserve and served as an instructor at the flight school until 1993 and commander of the Megiddo emergency airfield, until his retirement from the reserve service in 2016.

Harpaz died on January 24, 2019. He was a member of Kibbutz Hazorea, was married to Nurit and the couple had 5 children, their youngest son Erez died during a trip to Bolivia. His elder son, Amir, followed his tracks in the IAF, as a combat pilot and commander that also became a Lt. Col. by the time he ended his military service.

Looks like my trip to do this as a thru paddle is coming together for next summer. Has anyone paddle it here? In particular, looking for info on shuttles and parking, particularly parking at the Ottowa end.
I would suggest getting in touch with the Cataraqui Canoe Club in Kingston, Ontario. My friend Dennis Burr is a long-time member, an expert kayaker and pack canoe paddler. I visited him there some years ago and did a day paddle with the club on the southern end of the Rideau -- many of the members have done the whole thing over the years and they know the local resources well. Very welcoming group of folks!


Love baking and cooking, but hate the hours that it can take to prepare a product before it even goes into the oven? Stand mixers are the perfect kitchen accompaniment if you find the groundwork of making cake or bread mix challenging or time consuming.
With the ever-increasing popularity of home baking thanks to programmes such as Great British Bake Off, one of these appliances can take all the strain out of the preparation of mixes and doughs (and would look impressive on your countertop).
As with all electrical equipment, there is a wide range available which all offer unique bonuses and fittings, so finding the perfect one can be hard. Here are our picks of the best cake mixers available on the current market, as well as some FAQ's to help you decide which is the best choice for your specific lifestyle.
The KitchenAid brand is a titan name in the baking world and their stand mixers are timeless classics. With an elegant, stylish finish, the high-quality fittings and fixtures make this machine the perfect all-round baking companion. If you're particular about the colour of appliances, the range of 17 colours will ensure you find your perfect fit.
As well as the wire whisk, dough hook, flex edge beater and mixing bowl, this model comes with the Artisan® Flat beater. This means you can not only prepare your cake mixes and batters but your mashed potatoes too. The bowl has a large, easy to grab handle, making it perfect when transferring to a baking tray.
The range of extra attachments available is massive, from can openers and food grinders to pasta and ice cream makers. This single machine can become your absolute go-to for preparing almost anything you would ever need to cook. The quality of the mixing is superior to a lot of others, which is unsurprising given the price tag.
There's several mixers under the KitchenAid brand name, but this is their best and most popular on the market. The newer Artisan 5KSM7580XBER model is available here, and comes with an unbeatable 6.9L capacity bowl which is the best option if you are likely to be cooking large, professional-scale batches regularly.
The head is fixed rather than moveable, so a crank lever raises and lifts the bowl. If it is the best value for money KitchenAid mixer you are after, this is the top one for the job, and just as attractive.
A kitchen classic, and our top pick of the high-end food mixers.
Cuisinart have been in the kitchen appliance market for over 30 years, but this is their first ever mixing product on the market. This high-performance machine is sleek, stylish and simple to use, making it even easier for you to bake like a professional in the comfort of your own kitchen.
With a massive 12 speed settings available, this product gives you complete freedom to either smoothly mix a whole range of ingredients in just seconds or choose a slower setting to gently fold delicate components together.
As it comes with a sturdy whisk, flat paddle and dough hook, the ability to prepare dough and whipping cream or mix batters and sauces is at your fingertips. The 5.2L mixing bowl is larger than most of its competitors and also offers a pour spout and transparent splash guard to help you cut down on mess.
The easiness continues after the work is done, with all extra parts except the Chef's whisk being dishwasher safe. Price wise, it creeps into the mid-range category, and bearing this in mind the 500W motor is not as powerful as some of it's less expensive competitors. Thankfully this doesn't take away from performance thanks to the wide variety of speed settings.
A high capacity, high performance mid-range mixer which won't break the bank.
The kMix group of products from Kenwood is one of the most respected ranges, and the KMX754 is rated very highly for its ease of use, modern look and powerful 1000W motor.
The stainless-steel whisk, K beater and dough hook tools are easy to interchange and are also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The product delivers 5 different speed settings, plus a unique separate fold function that aids with the layering of ingredient components.
Unlike the majority of other mixers, the splashguard contains a feeding tube, meaning you can safely add to your mix whilst the machine is on without the hassle of having to remove the bowl and clear up any mess as a result (particularly handy if you are prone to forgetting to add any components).
For those concerned about safety, the kMix automatically stops when the head is lifted and there is a light to warn you if it is not properly turned off.
It is a very heavy and sturdy product, which means there is very little movement or shaking when mixing more demanding items, even on the highest of speed settings. The glass bowl included is rather heavy and cumbersome but is great for being able to see the mixing progress and product volumes easily, and it does not move about when the mixer is in use. It is also fantastic for those who do not like the annoying sound that using a metal mixing bowl can produce.
Although it is quite expensive, it is perfect if you want a mixer that fits into the professional category and will stay with you for years through excessive use. However, it is slightly louder and lighter than previous kMix versions, if noise and robustness is of particular concern to you.
An extremely well-made and sturdy mixer with a unique glass mixing bowl. Reliable and quieter than it's predecessors.
When KENWOOD named this product the 'Multione', they were definitely not exaggerating. This all-in-one product finds everyday mixing a breeze, and ensures your recipes are prepared in no time at all.
The usual whisk, beater and dough hook are all included, and to give it an extra professional edge there is also a food processor attachment, citrus press and 1.2L glass liquidiser included in the price – perfect for smaller kitchens which struggle to accommodate all of the different tools necessary for these jobs.
The components of this 1000W, 4.3L capacity mixer all fit together easily to ensure easy storage for anybody unable to keep it in a central position on their countertop. The product can be very noisy when in use, particularly on the higher mixing settings, and due to its multifunction nature, it is quite bulky; not ideal if you prefer to use a sleek design. The pre-mix occasionally flies out of the bowl as well as it isn't very deep, so prepare to have to do a bit of kitchen cleaning afterwards.
NOTE: a newer version of this product, the Kenwood KHH326WH, is available here and comes with an added meat grinder.
Highly versatile with many functions and attachments, making this a great all-round addition to your kitchen.
With a massive 1000W of power, this is one of the most sturdy and robust stand mixers on the market.
There 10 speed settings, providing you with complete speed control so you can mix products effectively. Available in red, blue, silver/grey and white/cream, it will combine with other kitchen appliances, particularly any other SMEG products.
The retro look is popular, and this model has a sleek yet classic look, meaning you don't have to choose between style and substance.
The item features a convenient safety lock when the head is tilted up – brilliant for households conscious about the risk of appliances in their home, especially if any little ones like to help with the baking process.
The wire whisk included effectively picks up any stray bits of flour that would otherwise be left in the 4.8L mixing bowl if done by hand. The product also comes with a dough hook and flat beater to open up your baking opportunities.
It is marginally more expensive than some other mixers, but great for those who would regularly use such a product and see it as a long-term investment. It is on the heavy side, but as it looks so handsome you probably won't be moving it from pride of place on your countertop anyway.
A great unit from this famous manufacturer. Our favourite of the 'retro' style appliances on offer.
This Morphy Richards stand mixer includes a lot of handy extras to ensure you cut down on both waste and mess; two concerns for even the most professional of bakers.
With orbital mixing motion technology, the motor head turns in the opposite direction to the chosen attachment fixture, ensuring that barely any of the mix in your bowl is left untouched. It also comes with a splash guard, to keep your kitchen walls and countertops free from stray dough mix. Included with the bundle is a dough hook, whisk and cake beater, taking the hassle out of the hardest steps of the home baking process. The 800W motor is powerful for the price, and there are six speed settings plus a bonus pulse setting.
The bowl included has a 5L capacity, but as it is plastic it may need to be replaced with something more substantial depending on personal preference. It is also very light for a mixer, which is good for transportation but also means it tends to shake and get very loud if it is working hard on one of the higher speed settings.
Due to its quite bulky shape, it may also be hard to store or leave out on your countertop if you are short on space.
Our top-pick of affordable mixers. Great value, sturdy appliance with a generous mixing capacity.
The Swan Retro SP25010GN is a great, affordable mixer which conveniently comes with a beater, whisk and dough hook for the price tag. Easy to use with clear controls, the 8 variable mixing speeds give you complete control over your work to give you even more food preparation options.
Available in 5 bold colours, the Swan stand mixer's elegant design will slot nicely into the décor of any kitchen or can even be displayed as a jazzy centrepiece. This product comes with a 4.2L working capacity stainless steel bowl, giving you plenty of room to add all the ingredients you need, plus is easy to keep clean.
If the retro look is your biggest priority when looking for all of your kitchen appliances, then the SP25010GN is a good affordable option. However, the attachments may require a bit of extra help to reach all of the ingredients in the mixing bowl, which is not ideal if you want a product which does absolutely all of the work for you.
Sturdy, affordable and does exactly what it's supposed to do. An easy to use entry-level model.
The first thing you need to think about before looking into the mixers that are available on the market is what exactly you need the product for. There are some that are best for the preparation of easy to mix cake batters, and others are best for preparing doughs and other hard to combine concoctions, so if you are more likely to make one over the other, ensuring the correct fixtures are available is essential.
Some 'mixers' are more than just the label suggests, too. If the one you decide on also offers a blender/slicer/juicer fixture, see if this is included in the price or would be a very affordable/expensive extra.
Every mixer offers different speed settings, with some only offering five or six and some more high-end products offering up to 12. Again, it is important to think about what you need the mixer for. If you just want to rustle up liquid-based batter mixes in seconds, high speeds are the best options for the job. If you are regularly going to be mixing tough mixtures such as doughs however, a large power wattage will be most beneficial. Combine these two options if you want a regular, all round product.
If you would use a mixer almost daily and see it as an absolutely essential piece of kitchen kit, then looking at the high-end range of mixers available is your best long-term option. They tend to be more durable and able to cope with any mixing challenge you throw at them and can be treated as a real investment piece.
Budget mixers can be a good purchase for those who are preparing for their first foray into the baking world, but ensure you read all reviews first and really think about your new hobby in the long run; if it is likely to be a long term lifestyle change, meaning you may need a better quality mixer within the next year, it may be best putting the money spent towards an investment piece.
Most attachments on all mixers are dishwasher friendly, meaning there is little cleaning up to do when your ingredients are in the oven. However, there may be some whisks and smaller attachments which are recommended for hand washing only due to their delicacy.
What Is The Difference Between A Hand Mixer And A Stand Mixer?
A hand mixer is a handheld device, broadly best described as an electrical beater or whisk. They can be a lot cheaper than stand mixers, but often struggle with heavy loads and don't help your arm muscles too much as you stand over a bowl. Some allow extra attachments such as blenders or spiralizers, but these usually sit at the top end of the price market and are rare. Stand mixers do the job without any extra work from you and are a lot more flexible in use, allowing you to get on with other tasks if necessary whilst keeping an eye on the progress of the mixer.
If none of the stand mixers above caught your eye, then you could look through our best hand mixer rundown.
Which Brands Produce The Best Mixers?
Many of the leading small appliance brands have ventured into the stand mixer world with the rise in popularity of home baking, including Morphy Richards, Kenwood, SWAN and SMEG. If you have a particular brand preference with appliances, then it is likely they have a mixer available. SMEG and SWAN are the leading brands if you are after something with a retro, colourful look, but the KitchenAid and Kenwood brands are seen as the industry leaders for professional stand mixers.
Are All Stand Mixers A Similar Size?
Mixers can vary widely in both size and weight. Think about your kitchen; if you are low on space or can't keep the appliance out on the bench, a smaller model is best. If it is going to be a real focal point of the kitchen, however, then the size of the appliance may be relatively unimportant but ensure that you look at plenty of images of the product if you are particular about design.
No mixer is exactly the same, and each appliance is able to do slightly different things. Most come as standard with a balloon or wire whisk, a beater and a dough hook, which conveniently means you can make both bread and cake mixes with the same machine.
Some offer different whisk variations, meaning you can use a separate tool for whisking egg whites to the one you would use for combining a heavier flour-based mixture. There are a few, mostly high-end, mixers available which allow you to attach blenders, vegetable slicers, juicers and even meat mincers.
These products are perfect if you are not only a regular baker, but also a regular all-round cook. If this is something you would want to consider, it is best to look into all of the extra attachments which are usually sold separately to see if they have the right ones for your needs. A KitchenAid will be the best to purchase if you're after an incredibly multi-use option.


Charles Milesi's 2018 season in Formula Renault Eurocup ended on 22nd and 23rd October at the Barcelona circuit. Fast and combative, the young French hopeful made his presence felt in Race 1 moving up to 5th, before having to be satisfied with 10th position in Race 2. 7th in the final Championship standings and 5th best rookie, Charles can draw a very encouraging record of his first season at this very high level of competition in single-seaters.
Not particularly pleased with his Free Practice time in the dry, Charles Milesi faced rainy conditions during Saturday's Qualifying session, which set the starting grid for Race 1. "It was not an easy session, because I needed to adapt very quickly to the slippery track. I finished with the 5th time in my group," said Charles.
The track was dry again for the first of two races of the meeting. The Bourguignon driver made a great start from his 5th inside line and managed to gain a place. A few bends later, he made another pass, then another, and finished the first lap in 6th position. "Charles made the right choices at the start of the race and was able to win against his rivals," confirmed Julien Abelli of Simumotion, the organisation that assists Charles throughout the year.
Behind him, a collision led to a safety car period. "I managed the restart very well, which allowed me to overtake an opponent at the next braking, to finally cross the finish line in 5th position. It was a very good race," continued Charles.
The next day, he finished the Qualifying session in the same place as the day before. "There was a lot of traffic, I only managed to find one clear lap. In the end, I did not finish too badly." Alas, Race 2 would not be as convincing as the first one. "My pace was not fast enough. I lost a place on the first lap, then there was a gap to the leading pack. That did not change my Championship standings, but I would have liked to have finished better than 10th."
Thanks to his many strong positions during the season, including several podiums and two victories in Monaco and at Silverstone, Charles Milesi finally finished 7th in the very competitive 2018 Formula Renault Eurocup, out of a total of 31 drivers. But above all, he is 5th in the Rookie standings, in addition to having contributed to the team title won by Thibaut De Merindol's R-ace GP team.

CVS Super deal this week!
I am heading out this morning to do our biweekly shopping. CVS has a super deal: buy 3 Power Bars for $1 each, get $3 extra care bucks back - that means they are, in effect, free. My husband can't eat a lot at work, as he gets super-sleepy, but a protein-rich Power Bar is a good meal for him there.
You can do this deal once per CVS card. We have two - one for me, one for my husband. I'll go to two stores (both within 3 miles of home) so we'll have 6 Power Bars, and $6 in ECB! At CVS, I try to buy things we 1)need, 2)are on sale, 3) have coupons, and 4) get me ECB back for future trips! This deal fits 3 of the 4 qualifications - I don't have any coupons, darn it! I currently have $2 in ECB to spend, so I'll only pay $1 out of pocket for the first store's Power Bars!
Your blog is SO inspiring! I use to do The Grocery Game, but that fizzled out after awhile, but now I'm reconsidering after reading your blog and remembering all those great deals out there. With just a little time and effort you really can save tons of money. Thanks for the tips!

I am the founder of the product "Nordic Light & Fishing Krill Oil (Omega 3)" Company "Arctic Light Products AS.Arctic Light Products Ltd is a Tromsø-based trading company in Norway, founded in 2010 on recommendation from Innovation Norway. The company originated from the company Northern Light Products Ltd which was founded in 2009 and has developed with Omega 3 krill oil product under the brand name Nordic Light.
The product is called Nordic Light Fish and Krill Oil. Arctic Light will deliver health food products directly from Norwegian Producers to distributors in the market. Arctic Light Products AS (AS ALP) activity was started from an idea to create the best product on the market. I had personal experience from many years as both a fisherman, fishing boat captain and owner / captain of a trawler before I started the development in Arctic Light Products.
The product we developed in cooperation with a man of Omega3 from the University of Tromsø has resulted in Krill & Omega 3 capsules of very high quality. The oils used are tested several times before it is produced to the capsules. To our customers, we provide the purest product of its kind on the market, with a mixture of 70% high concentrated Omega 3 (not from the liver) but from fish meat and 30% Krill Oil. Nordic Light Krill & Fish oil is a high quality product, wooden consists of 70% highly concentrated omega-3 and 30% krill oil. It's not a product that is similar to ours. Dove. We have a mixture of fish oil and krill oil. It is what makes our product unique because the absorption of omega-3 in the body becomes much more efficient.
Because "regular" fish oil omega3 uptake is about 45% while overusing our mix is ?? footage of Omega3 that ca.92-94%, this is because phospholipids in krill oil is mixed with fish oil. So our mix is very easily soluble in water i.e the body and this means that the absorption of omega-3 is much larger.Anyone who has seen the Northern Lights knows that it makes an impression. It is said that this light has a magical Wed which impacts both people and fish. Our raw materials come from the Aurora Sea. The name of Northern Light came to me while I worked to find the right color of the product, the red heart color.The whole process has been carried out by a genuine desire to help people with a product that makes a qualitative difference. The mixture 70% high concentrated Omega 3 and 30% Krill oil has so far given us great positive feedback. It heats.Customers notice a positive effect after a short time, we receive so much feedback in Norway that for us is almost a fairy tale but the best professions also believe that it was appropriate to focus on quality, quality and again quality.
Such requirements were during the time I ran the fishing boat shipping companies. All fish came on board are treated so that they are a prime commodity.We were also lucky to find the expertise we needed for the production here in Tromsø. The factory is in Troms in the northern most part of Norway. Interest Geographically, this is just good for a product name as the Nordic Light with raw materials and production occurring from the Northern Region. Although I have spent nearly five years to get where I wanted with the Nordic Light. It is now time to present an optimal product. I wish with all my heart to help improve the health of humans, and involved in this wooden adventure with a genuine desire to give to self-help for all your loved ones: family, friends, neighbors, work colleagues or whoever may be.Facts about the Nordic Light Krill & Fish Oil:- PREVENT heart disease- Improves memory and concentration- Have a positive impact Wed skin aging- Protects skin from UV radiation- Have a positive impact digestion- Helps Reduce depression and improve quality of life- Has proven efficacy in PMS relief- PREVENT sore and stiff joints- Beneficial for cholesterolALP AS currently has offices in Tromsø, Norway.

Q: Screen brightness changes on reboot I have Dell Vostro 1720 with nvidia graphics card. On reboot, screen brightness changes seemingly randomly. For example, if I set brightness to 70%, after reboot it's usually ~47%, sometimes 100%. How can I prevent this?

A: That one worked to me in ubuntu 12.04
edit /etc/rc.local to insert your preffered value:
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

add the following :
  sleep 1
    chmod a+w /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    chmod a+w /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness
    chmod a+w /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
    echo X >/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
    echo 1 >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    echo 1 >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness

X=191 adjust maximun brightness to me
This will work like a charm !

OPINION 10/3/18 8:26am
Editorial: Voter registration closes October 9. Not from Texas? No problem.
Texas is dead last in the nation in voter turnout, according to census data (see "Push to the Polls" in Features), and the problem is even worse among younger Texans — a paltry 27.3 percent of college-age Texans made it to the polls in the 2016 presidential election. In midterm elections, the problem is even worse. Only 11 percent of Texans aged 18 to 24 reported voting in the 2014 midterms, a stark contrast to the more than half of Texans above 65 who reported voting.
OPINION 9/26/18 10:08am
Editorial: Rice should set specific goals for international student aid
The Rice Investment will expand Rice's tuition and fee grants dramatically. But the it doesn't offer the same help to international students, who make up 13 percent of this year's incoming undergraduate class (see p. 1). To address this, the administration should set measurable and actionable goals for providing financial aid to international students.

Rice is starting this year with numerous high rankings from the Princeton Review, commending the school in categories such as "Lots of Race/Class Interaction" where the university ranked No. 1 and "Best Dorms" where Rice ranked No. 10.
OPINION 4/17/18 9:47pm
Editorial: CTIS changes indicate continued progress
We hope the administration will continue to listen to student feedback and be open to discussion, as it did this year with the CTIS student working group. CTIS is a milestone in Rice's initiative to better the well-being of students on campus, and it is encouraging to witness the progress being made.

I am loving University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, I am loving Chapel Hill. Yes it is a village, a vibrant village, but a village. This is probably the perfect environment for a PhD., enough activities to entertain but enough solitude for deep study.
I am meeting and talking with everyone I can. I am researching housing options, on campus or off? I am researching the academic bit, financial aid, the lay of the land, the quality of life, etc.
So far I have no complaints. I am drinking excellent coffee, eating great food – including the best gelato ever at Sugarland, great breakfast biscuits, etc.
It is right before Spring so everything you see is blooming: trees, flowers, bushes. Whites, yellows, purples, pinks suffuse every corner of the campus and the town, the air heavy and sweet.
Tomorrow is the first day of the Carolina Conference on Romance Literatures, I am excited to be a (minor) part of that.

Клаустрофо́бия (от  — «закрытое помещение» +  ←  — «страх») — психопатологический симптом, заключающийся в боязни (фобии) замкнутых или тесных пространств. Считается, наряду с агорафобией, одним из самых распространённых патологических страхов.

Клиническая картина клаустрофобии
Как правило, у больного возникает чувство тревоги, когда он находится в каком-либо помещении, особенно если оно маленькое или в нём мало окон. Больной предпочитает оставлять двери всегда открытыми и находиться ближе к выходу. У человека чувство тревоги сильно усугубляется, если из замкнутого помещения в особых случаях нельзя выйти (лифт, вагон поезда, самолёт). Как правило, больной избегает лифта и использует лестницу. Больной также стремится избегать большой и плотной толпы. Причиной возникновения клаустрофобии может быть психическая травма, полученная в детстве или в опасных ситуациях (например, пожар), либо в результате слабой психики человека.

Во время приступа проявляются следующие симптомы:

 Сильное сердцебиение
 Одышка без физического напряжения
 Предобморочное состояние, головокружение
 Потливость
 Дрожь
 Чувство непреодолимой угрозы

Методы психотерапии клаустрофобии те же, что и для других видов фобий. В частности, в рамках бихевиоризма предлагается следующий метод:
 Пациент обучается навыкам релаксации, контроля своего физического стресса и блокировки негативных мыслей.
 Поэтапное погружение пациента в пугающую его ситуацию (имплозивная терапия).

Симптомы
Обычно говорится, что у клаустрофобии есть два ключевых симптома: страх ограничения и страх удушья. Типичная клаустрофобия будет проявляться, по крайней мере, в одной, если не в нескольких, следующих областях: небольшие комнаты, запертые комнаты, аппараты МРТ или КТ, автомобили, автобусы, самолёты, поезда, туннели, подводные пещеры, подвалы, лифты и пещеры. Кроме того, боязнь ограничений может вызвать клаустрофобию, например, сидеть в парикмахерском кресле или стоять в очереди в магазине из-за боязни замкнутого пространства. Другим возможным местом для приступов клаустрофобии является стул стоматолога, особенно во время стоматологической хирургии; в этом сценарии страх не боли, а ограничения.

Часто, будучи ограниченным в пространстве, человек, страдающий клаустрофобией, начинает бояться удушья, полагая, что может быть нехватка воздуха в помещении, в котором он ограничен.

Диагностика
Клаустрофобия — это страх не иметь выхода и быть закрытым в маленьком пространстве. Оно, как правило, классифицируется как тревожное расстройство и часто приводит к довольно тяжёлой панической атаке. Его также иногда путают с Клейтрофобией (страх оказаться в ловушке).

Шкала
Этот метод был разработан в 1979 году, путём интерпретации досье пациентов с диагнозом клаустрофобия и чтения различных научных статей о диагностике расстройства. Как только начальная шкала была разработана, она была протестирована и отточена несколькими экспертами в этой области. Сегодня он состоит из 20 вопросов, которые определяют уровень тревоги и желание избежать определённых ситуаций. Несколько исследований доказали, что эта шкала эффективна при диагностике клаустрофобии.

Анкета
Этот метод был разработан Рахманом и Тейлором, двумя экспертами в этой области, в 1993 году. Этот метод эффективен при различении симптомов, вызванных страхом удушья и страхом ограничения. В 2001 году он был изменён с 36 до 24 пунктов, другой группой экспертов. Это исследование также было доказано очень эффективным различными исследованиями.

Распространённость
Исследование показывает, что где-то от 5-7 % населения мира страдает тяжёлой клаустрофобией, но лишь небольшой процент этих людей получает какое-то лечение от этого расстройства.

Причины
Страх замкнутого пространства — это иррациональный страх. Большинство людей, страдающих клаустрофобией, оказавшись в комнате без окон, сознательно знают, что им ничего не угрожает, но эти же люди будут бояться, возможно, даже будут напуганы до потери трудоспособности, и никто не знает, почему.

Миндалевидное тело
Миндалевидное тело является одной из самых маленьких структур мозга, но и одной из самых мощных. Миндалина необходима для обуславливания страха или создания реакции «сражайся или беги». Ответ «сражайся или беги» создаётся, когда стимул связан с тяжёлой ситуацией. Ченг считает, что корни фобии в ответе «бей или беги».

При генерации реакции «борьба или бегство» миндалевидное тело действует следующим образом: передние ядра миндалевидного тела связаны со страхом друг друга. Ядра посылают импульсы другим ядрам, которые влияют на частоту дыхания, физическое возбуждение, выброс адреналина, кровяное давление, частоту сердечных сокращений, реакцию поведенческого страха и защитные реакции, которые могут включать замораживание. Эти реакции представляют собой «вегетативный сбой» при панической атаке.

Исследование, проведённое Фуми Хаяно, показало, что правая миндалина была меньше у пациентов, страдающих паническими расстройствами. Уменьшение размера произошло в структуре, известной как кортикомедиальная ядерная группа, которой принадлежит ядро СЕ. Это вызывает вмешательство, которое, в свою очередь, даёт ненормальные реакции на отрицательные стимулы у пациентов с паническими расстройствами. У страдающих клаустрофобией это означает панику или чрезмерную реакцию на ситуацию, когда человек оказывается физически ограниченным.

Классические причины
Клаустрофобия появляется в результате того, как мозг связывает ситуацию с опасностью. Это часто происходит как итог детской психологической травмы, хотя начало может наступить в любой момент жизни человека. Такой опыт может произойти несколько раз или только один раз, чтобы оставить неизгладимое впечатление на ум. Большинство участников эксперимента по клаустрофобии, проведённом Ларсом-Гораном Остом, сообщили, что их фобия была «приобретена в результате обусловленного опыта». «В большинстве случаев клаустрофобия, по-видимому, является итогом прошлых эпизодов».

Опыт
Вот несколько примеров общего опыта, который может привести к возникновению клаустрофобии у детей (или взрослых):

 Ребёнок (или, реже, взрослый) заперт в абсолютно чёрной комнате и не может найти дверь или выключатель света.

 Ребёнок (или, реже, взрослый) попал в зеркальную комнату (или лабиринт) и заблудился (стал плохо ориентироваться).

 Ребёнок заперт в ящике.

 Ребёнок заперт в шкафу.

 Ребёнок падает в глубокий бассейн и не может плавать.

 Ребёнок разлучается с родителями в большой толпе и теряется.

 Ребёнок просунул голову между прутьями забора и не может выбраться.

 Ребёнок лезет в яму и застревает, или не может найти дорогу назад.

 Ребёнка оставляют в машине родителей, грузовике или фургоне.

 Ребёнок находится в многолюдном месте без окон (подвал и т. д.) и сталкивается с другими людьми или помещается туда, в качестве наказания.

Термин «прошлый опыт», по словам одного автора, может распространяться на момент рождения. В книге Джона А. Спейрера, «Клаустрофобия и страх смерти», читатель приходит к выводу, что высокая частота клаустрофобии связана с родовой травмой, о которой он говорит, как об «одном из самых ужасающих потрясений во время нашей жизни», и именно в этот момент беспомощности у младенца развивается клаустрофобия.

Магнитно-резонансная томография (МРТ) может вызвать клаустрофобию. МРТ подразумевает нахождение в лежачем положении в течение некоторого времени в узкой трубе. В исследовании, включающем клаустрофобию и МРТ, сообщалось, что 13 % пациентов испытывали приступ панической атаки во время процедуры. Процедура была связана не только с инициированием «существовавшей ранее» клаустрофобии, но и с возникновением этого заболевания у некоторых людей. Панические атаки, возникающие во время процедуры, могут помешать человеку приспособиться к ситуации, тем самым способствуя сохранению страха.

С.Дж. Рахман рассказывает об экстремальном примере, ссылаясь на опыт 21 шахтёра. Эти шахтёры находились под землёй в течение 14 дней, в течение которых шесть шахтёров умерли от удушья. После спасения шахтёров, их состояние изучалось на протяжении 10 лет. Все, кроме одного, сильно пострадали, и у шести развились фобии к «ограничению ситуаций». Единственным шахтёром, у которого не развились какие-либо заметные симптомы, был тот, кто выступал в роли лидера.

Другим фактором, который может вызвать возникновение клаустрофобии, является «полученная информация». "Как отмечает Аурео Уолдинг в «Причины клаустрофобии», многие люди, особенно дети, узнают, кого и чего бояться, наблюдая за родителями или сверстниками. Этот метод применяется не только для наблюдения за учителем, но и для наблюдения за жертвами. Викарное классическое обусловливание также включает в себя, когда человек видит другого человека, попавшего непосредственно в особенно неприятную ситуацию. Это было бы аналогично наблюдению за тем, как если кто-то застрял в тесном пространстве, задыхался или любой другой из перечисленных выше примеров. Как говорит Эрин Герсли в «Фобиях: причины и методы лечения», люди генетически предрасположены бояться того, что для них опасно.

Подготовленная фобия
Существуют исследования, которые показывают, что клаустрофобия не является полностью классически обусловленной или изученной фобией. Это необязательно врождённый страх, но очень вероятно, что называется подготовленной фобией. Клаустрофобия может подпадать под эту категорию из-за её «широкого распространения… раннего начала и кажущегося лёгким приобретением», а также её некогнитивных особенностей.» Приобретение клаустрофобии может быть частью рудиментарного эволюционного механизма выживания, спящего страха перед ловушкой и/или удушьем, который когда-то был важен для выживания человечества и мог быть легко пробуждён в любое время. Враждебное окружение в прошлом, сделало этот вид запрограммированного страха необходимым, и поэтому человеческий разум развил способность к «эффективному формированию страха для определённых классов опасных раздражителей».

Рахман приводит аргумент в пользу этой теории в своей статье: «Фобии». Он согласен с утверждением, что фобии обычно касаются объектов, которые представляют собой прямую угрозу выживанию человека, и что многие из этих фобий быстро приобретаются из-за «унаследованной биологической готовности». Это вызывает готовую фобию, которая не совсем врождённая, но широко и легко изучаемая. Как объясняет Рахман в статье: «Основные характеристики подготовленных фобий заключаются в том, что они очень легко усваиваются, избирательны, стабильны, биологически значимы и, вероятно, [некогнитивны]». «Селективный» и «биологически значимый» означают, что они относятся только к вещам, которые непосредственно угрожают здоровью, безопасности или выживанию человека. «Некогнитивный» предполагает, что эти страхи приобретаются бессознательно. Оба фактора указывают на теорию о том, что Клаустрофобия — это подготовленная фобия, которая уже запрограммирована в сознании человека.

Лечение

Когнитивная терапия
Когнитивная терапия является широко распространённой формой лечения большинства тревожных расстройств. Также считается, что она особенно эффективна в борьбе с расстройствами, когда пациент на самом деле не боится самой ситуации, а скорее боится того, что может произойти в такой ситуации. Конечной целью когнитивной терапии является изменение искажённых мыслей или неправильных представлений, связанных с тем, чего боятся; теория состоит в том, что изменение этих мыслей уменьшит беспокойство и желание избежать определённых ситуаций. Например, когнитивная терапия будет пытаться убедить пациента с клаустрофобией в том, что лифты не опасны, а на самом деле очень эффективны, чтобы доставить вас туда, куда вы хотели бы идти, и это произойдёт гораздо быстрее. Исследование, проведённое С. Дж. Рахманом, показало, что когнитивная терапия уменьшила страх и негативные мысли/коннотации в среднем примерно на 30 % у испытуемых с клаустрофобией, доказав, что это достаточно эффективный метод.

Воздействие in vivo
Этот метод заставляет пациентов смотреть в лицо своим страхам, полностью подвергаясь тому страху, который они испытывают. Это обычно делается прогрессивным образом, начиная с меньших воздействий и продвигаясь вверх к более серьёзным воздействиям. Например, пациент с клаустрофобией может начать с лифта и перейти к МРТ. Несколько исследований доказали, что это эффективный метод борьбы с различными фобиями, включая клаустрофобию. С. Дж. Рахман также проверил эффективность этого метода в лечении клаустрофобии и обнаружил, что он уменьшает страх и негативные мысли/коннотации в среднем почти на 75 % у своих пациентов. Из методов, которые он тестировал в этом конкретном исследовании, это было, безусловно, самым значительным сокращением.

Интерроцептивное воздействие
Этот метод пытается воссоздать внутренние физические ощущения у пациента в контролируемой среде и является менее интенсивной версией воздействия in vivo. Это был последний метод лечения, проверенный С. Дж. Рахманом в его исследовании 1992 года. Это уменьшило страх и негативные мысли / коннотации примерно на 25 %. Эти цифры не совсем совпадают с показателями воздействия in vivo или когнитивной терапии, но все же приводят к значительному сокращению.

Другими формами лечения, которые также оказались достаточно эффективными, являются психообразование, контрподготовка, регрессивная гипнотерапия и дыхательная переподготовка. Лекарства, часто назначаемые для лечения клаустрофобии, включают антидепрессанты и бета-адреноблокаторы, которые помогают облегчить сердечные симптомы, часто связанные с приступами тревоги.

Исследования

МРТ процедура
Поскольку МРТ-сканирование может вызывать страх удушья и ограничения, пациентам с клаустрофобией часто бывает трудно. Фактически, по оценкам, где-то от 4-20 % пациентов отказываются проходить процедуру именно по этой причине. По оценкам одного исследования, этот процент может достигать 37 % от всех проходящих МРТ. Средняя процедура МРТ занимает около 50 минут; этого времени более чем достаточно, чтобы вызвать сильный страх и беспокойство у пациента с выраженной клаустрофобией.

Это исследование проводилось с тремя целями: 1. Выявить степень беспокойства во время МРТ. 2. Найти предикторы беспокойства во время МРТ. 3. Наблюдать психологические факторы прохождения МРТ.

Восемьдесят пациентов были случайным образом выбраны для этого исследования и подвергнуты нескольким диагностическим тестам, чтобы оценить их уровень клаустрофобного страха; ни у одного из этих пациентов ранее не было диагностировано клаустрофобии. Они также были подвергнуты нескольким таким же тестам после МРТ, чтобы увидеть, не повысился ли уровень их тревоги. Этот эксперимент заключает, что основной компонент тревоги, испытываемый пациентами, был наиболее тесно связан с клаустрофобией.

Это утверждение проистекает из результатов опроса тех, кто сообщал о тревоге во время сканирования. Почти 25 % пациентов сообщили об умеренном чувстве тревоги во время сканирования, а троим не удалось завершить сканирование вовсе. Когда их спросили через месяц после сканирования, 30 % пациентов (эти цифры взяты из 48, ответивших месяц спустя) сообщили, что их чувство клаустрофобии возросло после сканирования. Большинство этих пациентов утверждали, что до этого момента у них никогда не было клаустрофобных ощущений.

В этом исследовании делается вывод о том, что вопросник о клаустрофобии (или эквивалентный метод диагностики) нужно использовать, прежде чем разрешить кому-либо пройти МРТ.

Использование отвлечения виртуальной реальности для уменьшения клаустрофобии
В данной серии случаев с двумя пациентами было исследовано, может ли отвлечение виртуальной реальности (ВР) уменьшить симптомы клаустрофобии во время сканирования мозга методом искусственной магнитно-резонансной томографии (МРТ). Два пациента, которые соответствовали критериям DSM-IV (Диагностическое и Статистическое Руководство по Психическим Расстройствам) для конкретной фобии, ситуационного типа (то есть клаустрофобии), сообщили о высоком уровне тревоги во время фиктивной 10-минутной процедуры МРТ без ВР и попросили прекратить сканирование на ранней стадии. Пациентам, которые были выбрана случайным образом, было назначено получения либо ВР, либо в качестве отвлечения — музыка, для их второй попытки сканирования. При погружении в иллюзорный трёхмерный (3D) виртуальный мир, под названием SnowWorld, пациент 1 смог выполнить 10-минутное имитационное сканирование с низким уровнем тревоги и сообщил о повышении самоэффективности впоследствии. Пациент 2 получил, как отвлечение, «только музыку» во время своего второго сканирования, и опять не смог завершить 10-минутную процедуру, попросив прекратить второе сканирование раньше. Эти результаты свидетельствуют о том, что иммерсивный ВР может оказаться эффективным для временного уменьшения симптомов клаустрофобии во время МРТ-сканирования, а музыка может оказаться менее эффективной.

Разделение страха ограничения и страха удушья
Многие эксперты, изучавшие клаустрофобию, утверждают, что она состоит из двух отдельных компонентов: боязнь удушья и боязнь ограничений. В попытке полностью доказать это утверждение, три эксперта провели исследование, чтобы чётко доказать разницу. Исследование было проведено путём выдачи вопросника (анкеты) 78 пациентам, получившим МРТ.

Данные были собраны в виде «шкалы страха» с отдельными подразделениями для удушья и ограничения. Теоретически, эти подшкалы были бы разными, если бы способствующие факторы действительно были отдельными. Исследование успешно доказало, что симптомы различны. Поэтому, согласно этому исследованию, для эффективной борьбы с клаустрофобией необходимо бороться с обеими этими первопричинами.

Однако, поскольку это исследование применялось только к людям, которые смогли закончить МРТ, те, кто не смог завершить МРТ, не были включены в исследование. Вероятно, многие из этих людей выбыли из исследования из-за тяжёлого случая клаустрофобии. Поэтому отсутствие тех, кто больше всего страдает от расстройства, могло исказить эти статистические данные. Группа студентов, посещающих Техасский университет в Остине, сначала прошли первоначальную диагностику, а затем получили оценку от 1 до 5, на основе их потенциала развития клаустрофобии. Те, кто набрали 3 или более баллов, приняли участие в исследовании. Затем студентов спросили, насколько хорошо они себя чувствуют, и справятся ли они, если их заставят оставаться в маленькой камере в течение длительного периода времени. Озабоченность, выраженная в задаваемых вопросах, была разделена на проблемы удушья и ограничения, чтобы провести различие между двумя предполагаемыми причинами клаустрофобии. Результаты исследования показали, что большинство студентов боялись ограничения гораздо сильнее, чем удушья. Из-за этой разницы в типе страха можно ещё раз утверждать, что между этими двумя симптомами существует явная разница.

Рейтинги вероятности у пациентов с клаустрофобией и без клаустрофобии
Это исследование было проведено на 98 пациентах: 1 группа — 49 людей, признающая заболевание клаустрофобия и 2 группа, называющееся «контрольной группой», состоящая так же из 49 людей. Необходимо было выяснить, повреждены ли умы людей с расстройством «тревожными» эпизодами (например, клаустрофобными событиями) до такой степени, что они считают, что эти события, скорее всего, произойдут. Каждому человеку было дано три события — клаустрофобное событие, в целом отрицательное событие и в целом положительное событие — и его попросили оценить, насколько вероятно, что это событие произойдёт с ними. Как и ожидалось, группа с диагностированной клаустрофобией дала клаустрофобным событиям значительно более высокую вероятность возникновения, чем в контрольной группе. Не было заметной разницы ни в положительных, ни в отрицательных событиях. Тем не менее, это исследование также может быть ошибочным, поскольку у людей с клаустрофобией уже был поставлен диагноз. [Необходимая цитата] Диагноз расстройства, вероятно, может предвосхитить веру в то, что клаустрофобные события с большей вероятностью произойдут с ними.

Last weekend we volunteered at the Texas Craft Brewers' Festival. We had a really nice time meeting brewers from all over the state, sampling some of the the unique beers on offer, and of course serving craft brews to the good people of Texas. In honor of another fantastic festival we wanted to post a delicious but healthy beer-related treat that will help get the rest of our week off to a good start.
Recently, we brewed a porter and used the spent grains to make some spent grain flour. This flour is a great high-fiber substitute for bran and a wonderful way to use the grains that are left over from brewing. These muffins use the spent grain flour with carrots, nuts, and other nutrient-dense foods to make a muffin that will help you get fueled for whatever fun you have planned for the day ahead.
This version of a typical South Asian soup is a tasty and nutritious use for late summer vegetables.
In a large soup pot, bring lentils and broth to a boil and simmer, covered, until soft, about 30 minutes.
While the lentils are cooking prepare vegetables and spices. In a mortar and pestle (or a spice mill) combine coriander, peppercorns, mustard seeds, fenugreek, and cumin. Grind spices until they are a coarse powder.
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok. Over medium heat fry the ground spices until fragrant, about one minute.
Add asafoetida, turmeric powder, whole red chilies, and onion. Continue frying until the onion is translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in tamarind paste and add the remaining vegetables. Lower heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove cooked vegetables from heat. Add the vegetables to the lentils and broth, and when they have finished cooking season with salt to taste.
Genever, the Dutch precursor to what we know as gin, is an earthy, clear spirit with a flavor somewhere between whiskey and vodka. The earthy tones pair very well with the sweetness of the strawberries in this refreshing drink. Try it out!
In a highball, lightly muddle the strawberries with the simple syrup.
Add genever, lemon juice, and enough ice to fill the glass. Stir to combine.
Top with soda water and garnish with a lemon twist. Drink with a straw!
Dried Pepper Flakes – This is my favorite way to preserve hot peppers with thin flesh like hinkelhatz, cayennes, scotch bonnets, and habaneros. Dehydrate whole, clean, fresh peppers in a dehydrator until they are dry and brittle, about 12 hours. If you don't have a dehydrator you can also dry peppers in a warm (150 degree) oven or outside, but these methods may take considerably longer. Dried peppers are more comfortable to handle then fresh peppers – once they are dry you can easily remove the stems and shake out the seeds if desired. Transfer the dried peppers to a food processor and pulse until the peppers are in the desired size flakes. Let the flakes and any dust settled in the food processor then transfer to an airtight container and keep for up to a year.
Smoked Peppers – I get really excited when I hear that a friend is smoking a brisket, not because I have ever even had brisket but because it is a good chance to smoke salt (yummy) and peppers. Choose hot peppers with thicker flesh that can soak up the most flavor. Homemade smoked jalapenos (also known as chipotles) will make you think twice about their canned cousins and smoked poblanos are fantastic in cold weather chili. Serranos are also a good option. If your smoked chilies are not fully desiccated store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a year.
Pickled Peppers – I love pepper relish and sweet pickled hot peppers. We have a good pickled jalapeno recipe, which would also work well padróns or any pepper with a medium-high heat. Canned pickled peppers will last forever and should be refrigerated when opened.
Salt Brine Fermenting – This summer we are making fermented hot sauce with padrón peppers and habaneros using a recipe from the Joy of Cooking. They are brined in a salted sweet wine and left open to the air for several days to ferment. The fermented peppers are then ground, vinegar is added, then it is bottled. This hot sauce can last in the refrigerator indefinitely (think about the bottle of Tabasco that always seems to be in the back of the fridge when you need it).

Why Myanmar Would Gamble On Genocide
The 1961 Swedish documentary Mein Kampf ends with a lingering shot over Auschwitz. "It must never happen again — never again," the narrator says grimly, finishing the film. Whether or not this is the origin of the phrase "never again" is unclear; what is clear is that by the 1960s, the Holocaust had produced a powerful human rights movement that would shape geopolitical behavior worldwide.
It wasn't the first time morality gained the upper hand over realism; British anti-slavery efforts were rooted in Enlightenment humanism. The post-Napoleonic order was partially underpinned by the Holy Alliance of great Christian states who wanted to avoid shedding any more godly blood. "Never again" compelled the German Luftwaffe to support NATO combat operations in the Balkans, breaking a post-war taboo on German military power. Arguably, the American invasion of Iraq was predicated on moral grounds, in which the overthrow of a tyrant was a key plank of the war effort.
Yet morality only trumps realism when geopolitical space exists for it to do so. In post-war Europe, genocide could be outlawed not only because of its abhorrence, but also because it was largely unnecessary on a continent dominated by homogenized nation-states. In the secure embrace of NATO, Europeans could discard the well-honed tools of mass barbarism they had practised so effectively against both one another and in their empires.
Myanmar has little space for morality. In the brute realities of Southeast and Southern Asia, the cruel realism of the region tempts genocide as a solution to state insecurity.
Of all the colonies Britain left behind, Myanmar was left in one of the most difficult positions. It is ethnically and linguistically diverse, the result of centuries of trade and conquest between China, India, and Indochinese kingdoms. It is geographically difficult to unite by road, rail, and air. This give its minorities both the geographic space to isolate themselves as well as the strategic depth to defend against central government attacks.
Wedged between China, India, and Thailand, Myanmar is both anchored by its position as a cultural crossroad and pulled apart by it. It is a unique place that can resist overweening influence from its neighbors; it withstood the siren calls of both Communism as well as a Western alliance during the Cold War. Its Bamar people make up approximately 68% of the population, with no other major minority making up more than 10%. That Bamar backbone provide integrity to the core of Myanmar, yet geography splits the Bamar between poorer rural farmers and more well-to-do urban dwellers.
Thus to rule Myanmar is to confront a series of intractable challenges: the trap of foreign influence from India, China, or Indochina, the geographically shielded minorities who are not numerous enough to form nation-states but populous enough to fuel insurgencies, and the class divisions of the Bamar themselves.
Myanmar is home to some of the world's longest running civil wars. There's the war against the Kachin in the northeast, which began in 1961; the Wa Army, active since 1989 as a Chinese proxy; and the Karen, who have been fighting the government since 1948. In other words, pick a year, and you'll find Myanmar fighting some front of its many civil wars.
Thus it's no wonder that democracy has repeated failed in such a place; the tyranny of the Bamar's democratic majority provokes backlash from the country's minorities, exacerbating tensions between the classes within the Bamar. This opens doors for foreign powers both near and far to try to gain influence in Myanmar while expelling their rivals.
There has never really been an ideological aversion to democracy like in Communist China; rather Myanmar's democracies have fallen apart under stress, replaced by nationalist military juntas that provide order until a new democracy of sorts can be cobbled together.
That's exactly what happened in 1962, when fractious politics force the military to take power before an open civil war began. The military kept full control until 1974, when it established a more workable hybrid government that balanced the military's interests with a civilian government in a predictable single-party state. Once more, that functioned until divisions within the Bamar led to the 8888 Uprising of 1988, pitting urban classes against the rural backbone of the army.
The problem is that permanent military dictatorship is also not the cure for Myanmar. On a long enough timeline, dictatorships in Myanmar provoke both the ethnic minorities as well as the urban Bamar, a potentially fatal combination for the military elite.
The latest bout of democracy, begun in 2011, follows much of the 1974 model. A powerful wing of parliament remains reserved for the military. This preserves the ability of the state to manage its still-hot civil wars, while a civilian government under Nobel laureate Aung San Syu Kyi manages the Bamar divide between rural and urban classes.
That uneasy balance is a big reason why the military elite have decided to purge the Rohingya from Myanmar. As yet another ethnic minority without a territorially viable nation-state, the Rohingya complicate efforts to bring a measure of unity to easily off-balance Burma. Adding them to democracy doesn't overcome the tyranny of the Bamar majority; as Muslim minorities, they are especially prone to persecution from the devout Buddhist Bamar majority. Allowing them autonomy risks inviting Bangladeshi influence and risks encouraging the other rebels. When Rohingya rebels began an organized rising in August, it give the military the casus belli it needed to begin.
So the military has now gambled on a genocide as a solution to the Rohingya. They know that Myanmar has a brief and unique opportunity to resolve one of its many civil conflicts. The United States and West in general are distracted by Syria, Russia, and their own internal divisions; China is uninterested in defending the Rohingya; India, with its own history of Muslim ethnic cleansing, is unlikely to rouse itself. Thus the military believes if they can strike hard and quick, they can purge their territory of an unruly ethnic group and finally solve a major security threat.
It will send a stark, cruel message to other rebels, as well: to resist is to risk annihilation. While the Myanmar military may not be able to crush other ethnic rebellions with such butchery, the chilling effect will nevertheless have value.
Unfortunately for the Rohingya, they are likely to get away with it. If Sudan's indicted President Omar al-Bashar could butcher Darfur at a time when the international community had the attention span for human rights, then it's deeply unlikely that now, in an era of self-interested populist nationalism, that much geopolitical energy can be spared to save the Rohingya beyond token measures. Sanctions and isolation could return Myanmar to the status quo ante of 2011. The generals have shown they can survive that sort of thing before. If they continue to calculate that the Rohingya are an easy target, it will not deter them.

One thought on "Why Myanmar Would Gamble On Genocide"
Dean Sayers says:
A little surprising that the Kachin persecution/conflict in the north goes unmentioned (China has been backing the Kachin), as well as the intense opium production that the Myanmar gov't participates in (25% of global production). As is often the case between SE Asia and Latin America, there is a CIA connection to this trade. Heroin from the "golden triangle" is known for being pure and consistent, tell-tale signs of official involvement. Myanmar is comprehensively corrupt, and all of the big-name actors are using a fractured society as pawns in their power games. Take a look at their new capital, this will explain what kind of state we are talking about (and why they are hardly "gambling" with a population which has very little choice but to direct their criticism and violence toward flagged targets):

–He described the vastness of the new capital as "the ultimate insurance against regime change, a masterpiece of urban planning designed to defeat any putative 'colour revolution'—not by tanks and water cannons, but by geometry and cartography".–
Also, the general that prosecuted the NATO raids "for" Kosovo specifically pointed out that he advised Bill Clinton that the raids would almost certainly ramp up persecution and ethnic cleansing, so the war "could not have been" to prevent the same.
There is a certain naive idealism to your analysis. I don't mean it as an insult. I think it is impossible not to see that, especially transposed with your signature outlook, that is a kind of materialist/political-economist treatment of global politics. That kind of analysis requires that you step outside of the dominant moralist narratives governing your chosen topics, but especially when it comes to the powerful, you should be looking far beyond those claims to moral, ethical or democratic/constitutional "principles."
