Revoke or Referendum?
23 September 2019 politics and lifebrexit, eu, labour, liberal-democrats, referendumsJames Graham
I've been fascinated by the response to the new Lib Dem position to fight the next election on a platform of revoking Article 50 and doing so if (and at the moment, it's a big if) they win an outright majority. Polly Toynbee has denounced it as "extremist" with Emily Thornberry deciding to up the ante by comparing the party to the Taliban (I don't know where I stand with regard making jokes about this reaction, possibly because I haven't come up with any good ones, but I think Rajin Chowdhury makes some strong points about the unfortunate racial dimension that, as a white man, I'm privileged to not be impacted by).
Even Caroline Lucas has got in on the act, describing the policy as "arrogant, self-indulgent, cynical and very dangerous" – her point being that the policy is likely to ignite divisions rather than heal them.
There's a few things to unpack here. Basically, there are three questions: is the policy undemocratic?; is the policy divisive?; and, is the policy likely to be a vote winner?
In terms of the latter, I've heard a lot of people express the worry that it isn't – including, funnily enough, some of the six million people who signed a petition a few months ago demanding article 50 be revoked without a referendum (indeed, I don't recall Lucas, Thornberry or Toynbee denouncing that petition). All I can say to that, aside from that time will tell, is that I would imagine the Lib Dem leadership team did their research very seriously before committing to this position and that, thus far, the polls have borne that out.
Is it undemocratic? Well, this is an interesting one. I'm still trying to keep up, as a constitutional reformer, with the situation that all my opponents have switched from saying that parliamentary sovereignty should and does trump everything else to seeing them consistently argue the exact opposite, including by people who for decades argued to leave the EU on precisely these terms. Before the crazy started, a party pledging to keep the nation's status quo constitutional arrangements after winning a democratic mandate in a general election wouldn't be considered noteworthy, let alone undemocratic or extremist.
Of course, you can argue that if the Lib Dems were to do this it is still unlikely they would win more than 50% of the popular vote. This is of course true. Nor was there a majority in the popular vote to impose austerity in 2010. Nor was there a majority voting for a whole host of policies which have had a major impact on our lives since time immemorial. This is a problem the Lib Dems have always recognised and pledged to do something about; neither Labour nor the Conservatives have ever made any such commitment.
There is also the argument that a general election result cannot trump the specific mandate of the 2016 election. This is where things start to slide into the third question, which is largely about politics. But I would point out at this stage that not only does that referendum result have no legal status whatsoever, but also that any democratic regime in the world which has referendums as a central mechanism for making major decisions, particularly Switzerland, would likely have stricken that result down as unconstitutional a long time ago.
If you think referendums should form a part of decision-making, then it is incumbent on you to prevent them from being quite so open to abuse as they currently are. The UK is very, very bad at holding referendums: we don't have a legal framework to do so other than one that was sketched out in 2000 to deal with, at the time, a series of abandoned referendums for regional assemblies. We haven't significantly updated referendum law since them, despite the debacle of the 2010 AV referendum providing us with a very salutary warning as to what might happen in a higher stakes national ballot.
It is perhaps Cameron's greatest failing, having decided to hold that cursed referendum in 2016, to imagine that the unfair practices done in his name in 2010 would be done against him in 2016 – despite knowing that a number of the same people were involved in both campaigns. Not only did he not take that into account, but he doubled down, unjustly excluding 16 and 17 year olds and even EU citizens from the debate, for no reason other than to hand the leave campaign an unfair advantage by excluding the people with some of the greatest stakes in the result from being able to take part.
In short, if you are going to make this claim that the 2016 result should be binding, you need to at least be able to make the case that it was held democratically. In that regard, I fear, you would be on a very sticky wicket.
Finally, as in all things, we are left with the argument that this policy is divisive, and that we should be healing divisions between remainers and leavers, not deepen them. And this argument certainly has some superficial merit: the country is indeed deeply divided.
I guess my counter to that is that I'm not at all convinced that a compromise exists that can heal those divisions, and that the best approach would be to adopt the position that will at least end this ongoing festering wound. Revoking article 50, for all its risks, would at least give British politics a chance to breathe, and to start a dialogue about something, anything, other than Brexit – a great many of which would help heal those rifts. Keeping the debate going by contrast will only ensure those divisions continue.
From where we are now, I can't see a compromise that will keep most people relatively happy. There certainly was a window of opportunity. In the summer of 2016, like a lot of people, I worked on the assumption that we were going to end up with the softest of soft Brexits and that, by 2019, would effectively have a trading arrangement akin to Norway. The result was close enough that no-one could reasonably argue that there was a strong mandate for a "hard" Brexit in which the UK went it entirely alone. Better yet, from monitoring the debate, both Vote Leave and Leave.EU had consistently argued that claims that we would drop out of the EU without a deal were "Project Fear" and specifically cited Norway as a model example.
To be clear, it wasn't an option that I exactly relished: the Norway model is essentially the Leave position made manifest. We'd have to pay billions to the EU and have very little say in return – certainly no more votes in the European Parliament or Council of Ministers. But hey, there was a mandate, and I guess we have to listen to the will of the people. What's more, only a few absolute headbangers were calling for a harder Brexit and surely Theresa May wasn't going to listen to them?
How wrong I was. The subsequent conduct of the May administration appeared to work on the basis that the referendum had been a thumping victory for leave and not the narrow one that it was in reality. And as they did so, so did leave opinion harden. One of the greatest acts of gaslighting of the last few years has been to attempt to argue that the subsequent debacle has been because of remainers refusing to compromise and secretly undermining the talks, rather than leavers. Theresa May made a deliberate decision to put them in the driving seat and leave everyone else out in the cold.
So we ended up with a deal that didn't please anyone and a leave contingency even more determined to leave at all costs, and this crazed government we have now. I didn't do anything to create this situation and neither did Jo Swinson. The response by politicians on the leave side following Jo Cox's murder by an extremist was not to pause for thought but to double down on the rhetoric about "saboteurs" and "enemies of the people" – and indeed we now have a government that has shut down parliamentary scrutiny, legally due to our shoddy constitution, or otherwise.
To be clear: this is not the situation we were in in 2016 where there was legitimate hurt on both sides that needed to be addressed. We're in a situation where one side of that divide has been radicalised, and the other side has been repelled as a result. I've criticised the idea of centrism in the past, arguing that politicians shouldn't be aiming for the moving target of the middle way because they are then entirely subject to the whims of their opponents, but it increasingly feels that trying to find a middle way here isn't merely fudge but appeasement.
You don't deradicalise a significant body people by trying to meet them halfway. Not only are people like Stephen Kinnock's attempts to exhume the withdrawal agreement doomed to fail; if they had been successful they would be lumped in as filthy traitors just as much as the rest of us. Equally baffling is this idea that a Labour negotiated withdrawal agreement would somehow satisfy anyone, least of all the Brexiteers.
And so we return to the topic of a second referendum. For years, despite my misgivings of referendums, I thought this was the least worst option. I could see how revocation would be simpler, and it would certainly be my dream option, but I couldn't see how it could be a politically acceptable solution to anyone other than a small cadre of remainers. I supported attempts to bring Labour on board and finally get off the fence by supporting this position; if they had done so a year ago we would likely have had the referendum by now.
But the question of what options you put in the referendum has become increasingly hard to answer. Six months ago, if Parliament had supported such a proposal, it was still just about possible to hold a referendum on remain versus Theresa May's deal; I can't see how that could be seen as anything other than a stitch up now. You could put crashing out of the EU with no deal at all as an option, but while people might relish the fight, it is surely not a responsible option any respectable political party could consider – it would be putting people's lives up for debate in a public poll.
The other option is for the leave option to be a new withdrawal agreement. This is roughly what Labour seems to be tearing itself apart over now. The problem is, it's an incredibly silly policy. Do you argue for remain and put forward a withdrawal deal that you don't believe in? Do you say you're going to support the withdrawal deal that you negotiate, and thus alienate your remain supporters? Or do you stay scrupulously neutral, as if that could possibly mean anything? Labour has got itself into such a mess that it might actually be for the best for them to have a formal position to remain, but give Jeremy Corbyn a free rein to negotiate the best deal he can come up with and campaign for it in the subsequent referendum in a personal capacity. That I can say that in all seriousness shows quite how hard to sustain the referendum position currently is. What looks likely is that Labour will end up committing itself to a policy almost identical to the one that David Cameron campaigned on in the 2015 general election; and look how well that turned out.
I can still see a referendum still happening as a compromise between the Lib Dems and Labour. Paradoxically, if the Lib Dems kept its position of supporting a referendum, the lack of pressure would probably make it harder to achieve. We've now reached a point where Labour feels it has ownership of the policy – helped by the Lib Dems vacating that space – and that will make it harder for the likes of Len McCluskey et al to persuade Corbyn to go back on it if they found themselves in government (I would be amazed if McCluskey didn't still have a go though).
Ultimately, this muddle only strengthens my case that no position exists any longer that both leave and remain supporters can live with, and the fact that Labour is even considering an attempt at such a byzantine approach says more about the lamentable state it is currently in than anything else.
No Brexit policy is going to heal divisions; it is thus up to political parties to base their policy on what is best for the country, not try to ameliorate people with fudge. The Lib Dems have thus adopted the most responsible, straightforward and open position.
Ultimately, Brexit has only highlighted the deep divide in the UK; it didn't cause it. If we're going to ease that rift, we have to start looking at the deep inequality and alienation that was exploited in that poll. I'd have liked to have heard more emphasis on this coming out of Lib Dem conference in Bournemouth last week, and I have heard equally little from Labour conference in Brighton this week (scrapping posh schools, however desirable, won't cut it). If pro-Europeans are ultimately going to win the peace, they need to start offering a vision of EU-membership from which the entire country reaps dividends, not just London and the major population centres. I don't think offering a bit more hope would go down too badly in the election, either.

1 thought on "Revoke or Referendum?"
Russell E says:
A (admittedly small) part of bringing people together is reforming the EU. Jo needs a strong answer to the question that Clegg hadn't prepared for in his debate with Farage: 'What will the EU look like in 5 years time?' than Clegg was able to give in his debate with Farage.
Anti-EU populism isn't confined to the UK and Junker never looked like he remotely got the need to change. Macron and other EU leaders do. The irony is that Brexit is taking up so much bandwidth it is getting in the way of any progress on this agenda. But it should be part and parcel of any sensible remainers vision.

France vs. Poland Predictions
Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for France vs. Poland | Group Stage, World Cup Qatar 2022
Football Tips Qatar 2022 Tips
Where: Al Thumama Stadium, Doha, Qatar
When: Sunday, December 4, 8 pm local time
France lost the last game in its group against Tunisia, which is a wake-up call for the champions not to relax and stay focused. They have Poland to square off in the round of 16, a team with no pressure whatsoever, which makes him incredibly dangerous. The Poles had the luck to advance from their group, some would say unfairly, but they are through anyway.
France vs. Poland Preview
Didier Deschamps wanted to rest some of his players against Tunisia, but he had to introduce them in the game during the second half, with the Gauls being down 0-1. In the end, Griezmann did score, but his goal was ruled off.
Now, this goal wasn't painful for the champs because they already had two wins over the first two events, against Australia, 4-1, and Denmark, 2-1, pretty much securing the top spot in their assembly.
As you can see, the French team allowed a goal in each event, which has been the case for the Gauls recently, with them having oscillations in the back line. Though the attack always covered up that deficit.
We didn't see anything from Poland in this World Cup, and we need to say that right away. Advancing from the group stage was pure luck, as well as the win over Saudi Arabia. The Arabians missed a penalty, and after that, they didn't know how to close out, etc.
The game against Mexico was one of the most boring games in this World Cup, with the Poles being inferior most of the time. Argentina was dominant in their matchup, with Lewandowski and the boys not being able to create a decent chance.
The main problem for the Poles is the lack of creativity in the midfield because they don't have a single player who is able to create an extra man or beat his rival one-on-one.

France vs. Poland Possible Lineups
France: Lloris; Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud
Poland: Szczesny; Cash, Glik, Kiwior, Bereszynski; Zielinski, Bielik, Krychowiak, Frankowski; Milik, Lewandowski
France vs. Poland Head to Head
France and Poland didn't play for 11 years, with the previous event in 2011, a friendly international contest, in which the Gauls posted a minimal win, 0-1.
France vs. Poland Prediction
France is the favorite for the World Cup title, while Poland reached this game with massive luck, which tells everything when talking about the difference in quality between these two units.
Our verdict: France wins

Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing unveils i20 N Rally2
Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing has unveiled the i20 N Rally2, an all-new rally car intended for privateer teams and drivers.
The brand-new car follows on from the Hyundai i20 R5 with which Hyundai Motorsport entered the Customer Racing arena at the end of 2015. The i20 N Rally2 builds on the experience gained by the department over the last five years to deliver an improved all-round package.
The car is based on strong foundation of the all-new road-going i20 N's chassis. The i20 N brings the high-performance of the N Brand to the i20 range for the first time to create a hatchback with race track capability and motorsport-derived performance. The i20 N Rally2 builds on the dynamic look of the road car – part of Hyundai's new 'Sensuous Sportiness' identity – which includes several elements inspired by the world of motorsport.
Though the five-speed sequential gearbox from the i20 R5 remains the transmission for the new design nearly every other part, including the 1.6 litre turbocharged engine, of the i20 N Rally2 is brand new – the result of a design process begun in January 2020. The work has been completed by a specialised group of designers and engineers, taking into account the five years of experience with the i20 R5 project. In doing so they have been able to take advantage of the fantastic growth of Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing since the initial launch of the i20 R5, during which time the department has grown from a handful of people to a team of 60.
This growth has been reflected in the development of the i20 R5. Constant work by development engineers has provided several updates to the original car through recent seasons, resulting in improved handling and performance. The introduction of the i20 N Rally2 carries over these enhancements, while the switch to a brand new chassis allows a further large step forward in nearly every aspect of the design of the car.
New suspension components and dampers give the car more driver-friendly handling characteristics on all surfaces. This is vital in the Rally2 category, which forms the basis for numerous national and regional championships as well as the international WRC 2 and WRC 3 classes, and are the cars of choice for both professional rally drivers as well as drivers who compete purely for pleasure.
The new car will aim to continue the success of the i20 R5, which has claimed numerous titles with customers, including national titles in Spain, Portugal and Poland since debuting late in 2016. Teams with the i20 R5 will continue to enjoy the same high level of support, uninterrupted by the development of the new car.
An extensive testing programme for the i20 N Rally2 will begin later this month, with the first deliveries to customers and final homologation scheduled for summer 2021.
"The Hyundai i20 R5 was the first car from Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing," said Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorspor's team [rincipal, "and the new i20 N Rally2 shows how far we have come in the five years since the foundation of the department. Every area of the new car is an improvement over the original thanks to the design work completed by our dedicated team of designers and engineers. Our focus is now on testing the car to further develop each aspect of the design to improve both performance and reliability, while also ensuring that the handling enables each and every one of our customers to achieve the best possible results when they can start competing with the i20 N Rally2 next year."

It has been quite a while since I first saw an Instagram post featuring this new yogurt place opening in Glorietta. Curious with this new and rather late yogurt player, I did a bit of research and discovered that this brand is quite popular and well-loved in Europe, particularly in Spain. It is also a craze in Singapore where it has its largest store. Several foodies were giddy about the opening and their excitement was as contagious as the worst virus. Without knowing its taste or what sets it apart from other brands like Red Mango and White Hat, I became ecstatic with the store's grand opening. And finally, the day llaollao (pronounced as Yao Yao) opens its doors to the public has arrived!
Located at the ground floor of Glorietta 2, across Landmark, it is a store that doesn't even need to demand attention as you'll easily spot it. The brightly lit and and predominantly white store makes it an ideal photo shoot location for its mouthwatering swirls.
This Spanish frozen yogurt shop boasts of its stores using natural ingredients which provide healthy values such as 46% of calcium recommended daily allowance for a medium-sized tub. They also use skimmed milk making it perfect for the calorie counter foodies. Oh and llaollao's frozen yogurt has zero trans fat and is gluten-free. Winner!!!
Sanum is llaollao's signature parfait and it was a hit during its media launch and I could see why. The three layers of fresh fruit, two crunches, syrup and frozen yogurt combination was presented ready to be Instagrammed. And we finally get to indulge in some thanks to the llaollao team!
Just like most yogurt shops around, you could also customize your yogurt based on your preference. In llaollao, you could play around with three types of fruits, two crunches and one sauce. With several toppings to choose from, combination possibilities are endless! (Okay, fine, there are roughly 700 possible combinations.) I went with a safe mix of strawberry, kiwi, dragonfruit, Filipino White Chocolate Biscuit, muesli with chocoates and Lotus syrup. Only one size is available for Sanum and it's priced at PHP199.
The yogurt base was thick and had a creamy consistency. It was not icy at all! It was also slightly tangy so do not expect the usual vanilla ice cream tasting yogurt that'll make you question if you are indulging in a healthy treat.
Note: Not in the mood for fro-yo? llaollao also serves yogurt smoothies, Sensations fresh fruit slush and waffles! The best thing here is that they use only the freshest fruits available to make your drinks! They also have take away tubs to bring home and enjoy with your love ones and home buddies. They also have petite cups at usual Nestle yogurt cup size (PHP39).
Special thanks to Eric Dee for the invite!
llaollao is located at Ground Floor, Glorietta 2 (across Landmark), Makati City.

Bertogliati retires after 13 seasons as professional
By Cycling News published 8 November 12
Team Type 1 - Sanofi rider closes out career in Asia

Rubens Bertogliati closed out his professional career, that spanned more than 10 years, at the recent Tour of Hainan. The 33-year-old began his professional campaign in 2000 when he signed for Lampre - Daikin. He has won two Swiss national time trial titles and one road championship.

Bertogliati wants to win again
His most memorable moment came early in his career when he beat Erik Zabel and Robbie McEwen in stage 1 at the 2002 Tour de France and wore the maillot janue for two days.
Bertogliati has spent the past two seasons riding for Team Type 1- Sanofi with his most recent victory coming in 2010 when riding for Androni Giocattoli - Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni he took his first road national championship - to add to his two Swiss TT titles.
After thirteen years riding in the professional peloton Bertogliati was just happy to finish his final race in dry conditions, something that can be a rarity at races like Tour of Hainan.
"It's my last day after 13 years as a professional cyclist and it's not raining, so I'm happy" said Bertogliati. "If it was raining a little bit I wouldn't be happy, because we would still have to ride. But if it was a typhoon and pouring down, I wouldn't be any happier, because it would mean my last race was yesterday, in the rain."
"In Asia I think the level has really risen in the last 10 years. The riders are getting much better," he said in a team video.
The retiring Swiss rider who has yet to determine his plans for life outside of cycling, he told his team that it was his dream since a junior to become a professional. Given the chance, he didn't pass it up.
"I had the possibility to turn professional, you don't say no and that's why I'm still here."
"I liked it [being a pro] and always tried to give the maximum. I had a good time but now it's time to consider something else outside of Switzerland."

1979 Entry Draft
All six players chosen in this draft turned pro, with 4 of them making the NHL. Mike Foligno and John Ogrodnick would go on to turn in very solid NHL careers, and one can only imagine how things might have been in Detroit with the 2 star wingers being centered by Yzerman for most of there careers. If Detroit's management would have held onto a few of these draft choices, they would have had quite a stable full of young goal scoring forwards to lead the team instead of many empty years until the mid to late eighties.
Pictured - Detroit GM Ted Lindsay shakes hands with 1st round draft pick Mike Foligno at the 1979 draft.
1st Rnd, 3rd Overall NHL Totals 1018-355-372-727-2049
Right Wing Mike Foligno
A fiesty goal scoring winger, Foligno had all the tools to make scouts drool. A great skater with a hard accurate shot, who was tough as nails, and had leadership qualities, Mike scored 65 goals and 150 points during his draft year. Signed by the wings 2 months after the draft, he made a splash in the NHL, scoring 36 goals and 71 points and finishing runner up to Rookie of the Year Ray Bourque in Calder voting. Foligno was traded with Dale McCourt to Buffalo 2 years later in a disastrous deal for Danny Gare. Mike went on to captain the Sabers playing in over 1000 NHL games as a consistent 30 goal scorer who could drop the gloves with the best of them.
2nd Rnd, 24th overall NHL Totals 620-72-141-213-484
Traded to Washington for the rights to Ron Low and the a 3rd rnd pick in 1979 (Boris Fistric).
3rd Rnd, 45th overall NHL Totals 68-14-15-29-26
Right Wing Jody Gage
This goal scoring junior winger turned a 46-goal campaign into a 3rd round selection by Detroit, and finished as one of the AHL's all time leading scorers. Gage turned pro in 1979, and started the season on the inaugural Adirondack (AHL) team, where he scored 4 goals in his first pro game before being demoted to Kalamazoo (IHL). Jody saw action with Detroit for parts of 3 seasons before moving on to Buffalo, but most of his career was spent as a sniper in the AHL with Adirondack and Rochester where he compiled 504 goals and 1048 points in 1038 games.
3rd Rnd, 46th overall NHL Totals 0-0-0-0-0
Defenseman Boris Fistric
A 6'2 220 pound defenseman from perennial Memorial cup champion New Westminster, Boris was a tough customer who led the WHL in penalty minutes with seasons of 414 and 460. Fistric used his size and toughness to create space, and could put up some good offensive numbers too. After turning pro with Kalamazoo in 1980 Fistric put up some decent offensive numbers and led the IHL in penalty minutes one season with 391. After being unable to move up during 2 years in Kalamazoo, Fistric was not re-signed and retired.
4th Rnd, 66th overall NHL Totals 928-402-425-827-260
Left Wing John Ogrodnick
"Johnny-O" was another product of the New Westminster champions mill, winning the memorial cup in 1977 and 1978. A 6'0 speedster with soft hands, and a knack for playmaking, Ogrodnick turned pro after camp in 1979, and spent all of 39 games in Adirondack (AHL) before joining the varsity. John played on a line with fellow '79 draftee Mike Foligno and center Dale McCourt, and before long would be one of the wing's true superstars. Ogrodnick led the team in scoring from 1980-1986 including a 55-goal, 105-point season in 1984-85. Traded to Quebec in 1987 John played 6 more season in the NHL, rejoining the wings for his final campaign.
5th Rnd, 87th overall; NHL Totals: 291-19-37-56-831
Center Joe Paterson
A tough, aggressive two-way center that played with determination and grit, Paterson used his work ethic and willingness to drop the gloves to carve out an NHL career. Joe was able to put nice numbers in the minors, but found that he would have to become an enforcer if he wanted to make the move to the NHL. Paterson played parts of 4 season with the wings before being dealt to Philadelphia in the Darryl Sittler trade. After leaving Detroit, Joe became a regular in Los Angeles, even playing with Marcel Dionne and Dave Taylor for a while.
6th Rnd, 108th overall; NHL Totals: 0-0-0-0-0
Left Wing Carmine Cirella
At 6'4, 215 pounds, Cirella had the size to play his banging, defensive game, and knew what it took to win. Drafted from Peterborough after winning the 1979 Memorial cup, Carmine turned pro in 1980 with Adirondack (AHL). Although he only played in the AHL for 3 1/2 seasons, he won 2 Calder cups, the last while playing defense for the Maine Mariners. Cirella was never able to generate enough offense to earn a shot at the NHL and retired in 1984.


Since 2000, efforts to fight malaria across Africa have been able to cut the rate of infections in half. Thanks to an ancient Chinese malaria remedy, the battle against tuberculosis (TB) could enjoy just as much success.
Telegiz reports that tuberculosis is a global epidemic and requires at least six months of treatments. Robert Abramovitch of Michigan State University believes that many tuberculosis patients end up giving up on the treatments because of the length of time it takes to effectively cure the disease.
Abramovitch's study is published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of the global population is infected with tuberculosis; approximately 1.8 million people died from the disease in 2015 alone.
Research must continue before any serious success is made, but Abramovitch and other researchers are optimistic that artemisinin will effectively block tuberculosis bacteria. International Business Times states that artemisinin could soon be repurposed for use on humans, but there would have to be resistance precautions.
If we used artemisinin, we would have to make sure that resistance to this medicine does not develop, as is the case today for some malaria patients," Abromovitch added.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with the National Institutes of Health and Michigan State University's AgBrioResearch, funded the research for the study. Other MSU researchers involved in the study include Benjamin Johnson, Huiqing Zheng, and Christopher Colvin, as well as researchers from the University of Michigan.


This talk will bridge experiments with independent living and disability studies in Berkeley and feminist projects in the 60s and 70s, leading to the ways we deal with migration and refugeeism today. Ignacio Gonzales Galan will use Radical Pedagogies as a framework and start with some experiments considered in that project, but expand out of it and bring it towards the present in order to address challenges for the development of a present pedagogical agenda, in which issues of the After Belonging project will be considered. In large auditorium. Welcome !

Ruana Knives
In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana Knives are still handcrafted in the small shop where Rudy Ruana began forging out blades over 70 years ago. While a few things have changed over the years, they're still using the same methods and much of the same equipment Rudy used. Their commitment is to create knives that are first and foremost usable and durable, and as evidenced by customer demand, increasingly collectible.
Ruana Knives Americana Fisherman Fixed 3" 1095 Blade, Paracord Wr…
Ruana Knives are still handcrafted in the small shop where Rudy Ruana began forging out blades 75 years ago and are American Made as much as a product possibly could be.
Having left the decimated family farm in North Dakota and looking for greener pastures, 1938 found Rudy Ruana in the small community of Bonner, Montana working as a mechanic and welder at a small garage. In order to help his family survive during the post depression era, Ruana began to make a few knives on the side—a skill that originated in the 1920's when he was a farrier in the cavalry, making his first knives for a couple of Native Americans in need of a better tool for skinning horses. As time passed and the reputation of Ruana's knives grew, demand became so great that Rudy began making knives full time in 1952, calling his business Ruana Knife Works. In 1964 Ruana's son-in-law, Vic Hangas left a job with the phone company and put his artistic talents to work, joining Ruana in the business. Hangas' son Mark began working at the company in 1976. At the end of 1983 Ruana retired at the age of 80 and sold the business to the Hangas family. In 1984 Mike Hangas joined his brother and Dad and the business was incorporated. Rudy Ruana passed away in April of 1986. He received the honor of being posthumously inducted into the American Bladesmith Society Hall of Fame in 1997 and BLADE Magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2002. As of 2011, Vic, Mark and Mike Hangas have combined Ruana Knife making experience in excess of 100 years.
In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana Knives are still handcrafted in the small shop where Rudy Ruana began forging out blades over 70 years ago. While a few things have changed over the years, we are still using the same methods and much of the same equipment Rudy used. Their goal is to give their best effort on a daily basis while maintaining Rudy Ruana's work ethic and emphasis on uncompromising quality over quantity, proudly crafting knives that are American Made as much as a product possibly could be. Their commitment is to create knives that are first and foremost usable and durable, and as evidenced by customer demand, increasingly collectible.

The 2000 National Hurling League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Church & General National Hurling League, was the 69th edition of the National Hurling League (NHL), an annual hurling competition for the GAA county teams. Galway won the league, beating Tipperary in the final.

Overview

Division 1

The National Hurling League's top division featured fourteen teams divided into two groups - 1A and 1B. Each group consisted of seven teams. Galway and Limerick topped division 1A while Tipperary and Waterford topped division 1B. Galway finished the league undefeated and were crowned champions after defeating Tipp in the final.

Down at the other end of the tables, Kerry and Derry failed to win a single group game and were paired against each other in the relegation play-off. Derry won that game, thus condemning Kerry to division 2 for the following year.

Division 2

Division 2 featured one group of ten teams.  Carlow and Meath topped the group and contested the final. Meath won and secured promotion to division 1A for the following year. Tyrone ended the group stage without a single victory and were relegated to division 3 for the following year.

Division 3

Division 3 featured one group of nine teams.  Louth finished the group stages undefeated and were joined in the final by Longford who recorded just one defeat. Louth won that game and secured promotion to division 2 for the following year.

Division 1

Tipperary came into the season as defending champions of the 1999 season. Derry entered Division 1 as the promoted team.

On 14 May 2000, Galway won the title following a 2-18 to 2-13 win over Tipperary in the final. It was their first league title since 1995-96 and their sixth National League title overall.

Kerry, who lost all of their group stage matches, were relegated from Division 1 after losing the relegation play-off to Derry by 1-21 to 2-4. Meath won Division 2 and secured promotion to the top tier.

Galway's Fergal Healy was the Division 1 top scorer with 8-27.

Structure

The 14 teams in Division 1 were divided into two groups of seven teams named Division 1A and Division 1B. Each team played all the others in its group once. Two points were awarded for a win and one for a draw. The first two teams in 1A and 1B advanced to the league semi-finals with the top team in Division 1A playing the second team in Division 1B and the second team in Division 1A playing the first in Division 1B. The bottom-placed teams in 1A and 1B faced each other in a play-off to determine which team would be relegated.

Exhibits Schedule for 2013
PHILADELPHIA, December 18, 2012
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, the nation's oldest natural history museum, presents a series of engaging and educational temporary exhibits each year for both adults and children. In 2013 these exhibits will feature roaring, life-size, moving dinosaurs; undersea creatures that project their own light show; delightful photographs of decidedly unnatural science, colorful coils of sublime snakes, and more.
For three days in the spring, the entire museum will be transformed for the International Orchid Show and Sale. Hundreds of gorgeous, as well as bizarre, orchids will fill the exhibit halls as the largest orchid show outside of California and Florida debuts in Philadelphia.
Below is the schedule of upcoming exhibits at the Academy through 2013. Check ansp.org for frequent updates.
The Academy at 200: The Nature of Discovery
Special Bicentennial Exhibit
The Academy at 200: The Nature of Discovery celebrates the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University's groundbreaking discoveries of the past and present and provides a glimpse into the future of one of the world's great natural history museums. Travel alongside Academy scientists to search for new species and explore how human activity is affecting the environment. See rare and amazing plants and animals from the Academy's collections, including a toothy freshwater vampire fish skull, a five-foot giant condor, and a four-billion-year-old meteorite. Experience science in a whole new way by dressing up like a scientist, assembling a skeleton in the bone lab, and learning about climate change. This exhibit was created to celebrate the Academy's Bicentennial. Free with museum admission.

The royals are known for their diplomatic dressing and promoting designers from their home country.
However, while they may all have their own sense of style, it appears there's one staple piece that lives in the wardrobe of every regal woman – a tartan coat.
Princess Mary was pictured yesterday on a royal trip to Texas, where she's promoting the Danish culture and sustainable living.
The 47-year-old Aussie-born mum-of-four was snapped on a visit to the House of Scandinavia, which promotes Danish culture in the USA.
She stunned in a green and black tartan coat with a black jumper and trousers to beat the March chill and accessorised with a long chain.
But she's not the only member of a royal family to be snapped wearing tartan, as both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are fans of the unique design.
The Duchess of Cambridge in particular is a huge fan of tartan and was photographed in Scotland in January wearing her favourite Alexander McQueen coat.
She's also previously been snapped wearing tartan on Christmas Day with the rest of the royal family in 2017 and for a party at Kensington Palace in December last year.
During Meghan Markle's first trip to Scotland in February 2018, she also stunned in a Burberry tartan coat.


At the Language Show last week, I discovered Educandy on the Linguascope stand. A free interactive activity making site and app, Richard who was running the stand assured me it was really simple to use – and he was right! I've just had a go at creating an activity in each of the types: Words – input a list of words and play Anagrams, Hangman or Wordsearch.
Matching Pairs – input pairs of words and play Noughts and Crosses, Crossword, Match up and Memory.
Quiz – input questions, the correct answer and three red herrings for a Multiple Choice quiz.
Below are quizzes I have created (each took about 3 minutes) around adjectives ready for Y6 next week. Once created, quizzes can be accessed via a code that you can give pupils to input here, by URL, or by embedding them in a site (as I have here.) You can also export your activities to use on similar sites e.g. Quizlet, and import from those sites too.
I'd encourage you to have a look at the site and try for yourself. It's free after all so what do you have to lose but a few minutes of your time.
On my trips to Spain I'm always in search of a bargain! I've recently not had much luck finding 'Poundland' type shops, nor the equivalent of a Swiss brocki but this time I came across a 1 euro shop down one of the Siete Calles in Bilbao. Disappointingly there were no books, and unfortunately I was down to my last few euros. However, I did find some bargains.
Firstly some vocabulary jigsaws. Following on from a tip from Eleanor Abrahams-Burrows at ILILC a few years back, I bought some blank ones from Wilko (also available from Flying Tiger) and made some bespoke vocabulary jigsaws for early finishers/take home Spanish bags/ to reinforce grammar points.
My second purchase was a pack of cards. I've got lots of decks of cards already, but this my first 'baraja española.' As you can see, they are not the same as the 'baraja francesa' with which we may be more familiar. There are four 'palos' or suites – oros (coins), copas (cups), espadas (swords) y bastos (sticks) – of 12 cards each. The different 'palos' are also distinguished by the number of breaks in the line around the edge of the card: oros -0; colas – 1; espadas – 2; bastos -3. And, in contrast to the 52 card 'baraja francesa', there are only 48 cards in the 'baraja española' as, whilst there are three 'figuras' – rey (king), caballo (horse) and sota (jack) – there is no card marked 10.
If you're interested in the history of them, the Spanish wikipedia entry is very interesting.
Here's a post with some ideas on how playing cards can be used in language learning.
¿jugamos otra vez? – shall we play again?
apuesto… puntos/fichas – I bet …. points/counters.
pick two cards; what's the difference?
Do you have any favourite card games that you think could be used in the language classroom?
PS Loving these 'naipes' GIFs!
Thanks to Joe Dale for the photo (and video later)!
I had the privilege on 28th March to speak at the South West London Primary Languages Conference #SWLPLC. My talk was entitled There's more to PLL than 'that donkey' (Tip Top Tips for Primary Language Learning) and took inspiration from my son who when asked what he'd done in French usually replied "oh, we did that donkey again". I have nothing against Mon âne but there's more to PLL than singing as I went on to explain, sharing some of my favourite activities and ideas. Below is my presentaion and links to resources I used and sites I referenced.
A lovely day and well worth the early morning; great to see Joe, Rachel, Carmel and finally meet Ceri and Sue, and also to have so many positive comments about Primary Language learning flying around the room.
I didn't get to share my Pinterest pages as they were blocked by the firewall, but here's the link to my Roman resources for Spanish. And if you flick through, resources for lots of other topics/themes too.
Storybird – make up your own stories using illustrators images.
Thanks to a lovely FLA (foreign language assistant) who attended my course yesterday I've discovered Semillitas de Aprendizaje. And I love it!
Semillitas de aprendizaje (little seeds of learning) is part of RiF (Reading is Fundamental), a non profit organisation with the aim of nurturing a love of books and a rise in literacy across America.
Our vision is a literate America in which all children have access to books and discover the joys and value of reading.
To motivate young children to read by working with them, their parents, and community members to make reading a fun and beneficial part of everyday life. RIF's highest priority is reaching underserved children from birth to age 8.
Semillitas de aprendizaje is a bilingual site – in English and Spanish – aimed at children 0-5 years old and their parents. It's full of games, stories, songs, rhymes and activities in two sections – 0-36 meses and 3-5 años.
Juegos digitales which doesn't mean digital games but finger rhymes! Particularly like the fact that the girl presenting them isn't a'professional' singer – much more appealing. My favourite is Las ruedas en el bus.
Cuentos – some very simple stories – particularly like La mascota perfecta (link to Querido Zoo?) and No me quiero bañar – a common cry in many homes!
Rimas infantiles is also a great section with lots of rhymes – and they're read to you so you get the right rhythm which can be a bit of a problem.
And the adults section gives advice on good books, activities that you can do with your children and also general advice.
So, thanks for the tip off! I love it when other people share things with me!

Tamra Judge Reveals Just How Intense Eddie Judge's Heart Problems Were
November 27, 2018, 8:01 AM ET
"He went, 'Wow,'" the RHOC 'Wife said of the doctor's reaction to her husband's health issues.
Tamra Judge Is Now Living in the Gates Beyond the Gates
When Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Orange County premiered this fall, viewers were told about Eddie Judge's heart problems. Tamra Judge's husband had been struggling with the health issue and has undergone multiple procedures to try and help him get back on track after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, an irregular and often rapid heart rate. And when Tamra sat down during Part 2 of the reunion (set to air next week, preview above), she revealed just how intense his heart problems have been.
Following his last ablation, the doctor came out to the waiting room and, as Tamra recalled, "He went, 'Wow.' And I'm like, 'What?' And he goes, 'I just can't even believe how bad his heart is for his age... And he goes, he probably had a heart condition most of his life and had no idea."
At the time of the reunion taping, Tamra revealed that Eddie needed one more procedure to close the hole left after the last procedure.
Tamra Judge Shares an Update on What's Next for Eddie Judge Amid His Heart Issues: "We Have Our Fingers Crossed"
When Tamra spoke to The Daily Dish in October, she noted that most of all, Eddie just wants to get back to his regularly scheduled fitness routine. "[He's looking forward to] just getting his life back," she said. "He's not active right now. He's trying, baby steps, and just wants to get healthy... he's in the right direction right now."
Eddie Judge Is "Taking It Day by Day" In the Wake of His Ongoing Heart Problems

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) may have finally said she's not going to run for president in 2016, but she's still got the GOP opposition machine tailing her on the off chance she changes her mind or just because she's an influential figure among Democrats.
Both the Republican National Committee and America Rising, the leading GOP opposition research group, have been eagerly compiling opposition files on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in anticipation of her running for president, but both groups have also been compiling negative info on Warren as well.
'Obviously we've been spending a bulk of our time on Secretary Clinton,' Tim Miller, the executive director of America Rising told TPM. 'She's clearly the person that the Democratic establishment is a aligning behind but we've also done the necessary research for a potential candidate to emerge and I think Elizabeth Warren is at the top of that list.'"

Cultural heritage and participation
Morris Festival at Upton on Severn
There was a time when I thought that community art had to be rooted in contemporary forms of art. I didn't see how traditional and craft-based culture could engage people in the urgent issues of contemporary life. I was mistaking my own experience for reality, allowing my enthusiasms to become prejudice—and the one thing prejudice prevents you from seeing is itself.
It was the fèisean movement that helped me get past that particular blind spot. Since 1980, there had been a revival of Gaelic cultural teaching in the highlands and islands of Scotland, mostly through short festivals called fèisean, in which children could spend a week of their holidays learning traditional songs, airs and dances. In 1995 I spent several months researching the fèisean in the Western Isles, Ross and Cromarty and Inverness. I discovered a series of grass-roots organisations who were passing on a rich cultural heritage to the next generation and in doing so having all sorts of wider effects on local confidence, community organisation and people's sense of identity. Despite, or perhaps because of their commitment to Gaelic culture and language, the fèisean I saw were very inclusive, welcoming those who spoke only English and musical beginners.

Fèis Rois, Dingwall, 1995
A few years later, I worked on a programme in South East Europe, whose aim was to support community development through cultural resources. Living Heritage was, I came to see, a kind of community art programme without professional community artists. In their absence, we supported communities directly, with training, advice and small grants. Naturally, the projects they created grew from their own culture—weaving, pottery, music, carpentry, food, architecture, dance, festivals, embroidery, landmarks, sculpture, and drama all featured. Again, I learnt a lot from this experience, including how power dynamics change when people work in their own culture. In every project, the people involved were, literally, the world experts in the artistic work being done. The only thing outsiders like myself could offer them was technical knowledge, for instance about how to plan a project, and an external perspective. We had nothing to teach them about art because it was their own art they were making. Our input was to help them make what they could do more powerful. And they did – many of those projects continue today, while the programme itself is sustained in Bulgaria by the Workshop for Civic Initiatives Foundation.

2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage, and the European Commission has just published a brochure featuring 15 initiatives that bring heritage resources into the heart of community life. You can read about projects focusing on archives, carnival, museums, , puppetry and textiles. Others confront painful aspects of the past, such as the legacy of communism, or controversial ones like migration and the long presence of Islam in Europe. Each one, though, underlines the potential of heritage for creativity in the present. Art is an act of meaning-making. The legacy of the past can be an extraordinary resource for artistic participation today.

Does Nebraska need a quarterback in the 2018 class if it feels really good about either Patrick OBrien or Tristan Gebbia being the guy of the future after Tanner Lee? Riley doesnt want a huge quarterback room; four scholarship guys, tops. If NU has any wiggle room in this class, Id say, yeah, get a quarterback, maybe hes better than both of them.

Blake Bortles, JAC, at Baltimore: Bortles continues to have his struggles with turnovers, including seven in his last three starts, but heavy volume and a run of six multi touchdown efforts in his last seven games have kept him in the starting conversation in fantasy. The Jaguars are just good enough to make Bortles dangerous Cheap Jordan 2 but just bad enough to require at least 29 pass attempts in all eight of where can i find jerseys his starts. That recipe makes for a strong pairing with a Ravens defense that has struggled immensely to defend the pass, allowing at least two touchdown passes http://www.cheapjordans1.com/ in six of seven games going into their Week 9 bye. It's hard to see Baltimore fixing its many issues over one off week, making Bortles a good candidate to extend his own high scoring streak and the Ravens' season long run of misery.

TdF BikeSnob
BikeSnobNYC's Tour de France Stage 20 Report: Repent! CadelMageddon Is Nigh!
CadelMageddon Is Nigh!
by BikeSnob NYC Published: Jul 23, 2011
The first thing I did when Cadel Evans crossed the finish line of today's Stage 20 time trial was drop my remote control.
I didn't do this because I was stunned by his performance. Rather, I did it because the CadelMageddon of prophecy had now come to pass, so I wanted to see if the forces of gravity had been reversed yet and if the remote would now "fall" up instead of down.
It fell down.
Then I went to my refrigerator to see if my pitcher of water had turned to wine. It was still water. (Though some hummus I'd been saving had turned all green and fuzzy.)
Finally, I flushed the toilet to see if the water would swirl down the bowl in the counterclockwise Australian way instead of the clockwise American way. It flushed counterclockwise.
"Behold, CadelMageddon," I pronounced solemnly as the toilet gurgled. But then I went online and found out that the whole clockwise/counterclockwise flushing thing is a myth, and that the direction is simply determined by the design of your toilet.
I guess I have an Australian toilet.
As for the other signs, I expect they haven't happened yet since Evans's victory isn't official, but when he stands atop the podium on the Champs-Élysées I expect the Earth to tremble, the Arc de Triomphe to turn to fromage, and the toilets of the world to flush ominously in unison.
Cadel Evans's impressive win on Stage 3 notwithstanding, his Tour has been marked not by audacity and aggression, but by dogged determination. In fact, since then, the only time he's attacked has been on the descents. For this reason it was satisfying to see Evans attack the time trial so savagely, and to turn a deficit of 57 seconds into a surfeit of 1:34 in just over 40km. Cycling doesn't have overtime, but a Tour that comes down to the final TT is the next closest thing, and Evans turned the race inside-out like a tube sock in just under an hour of speed bump-hopping and corner-carving.
Meanwhile, after a single night in the yellow jersey, Andy Schleck shed it as quickly as you'd shed your Justin Bieber t-shirt at a metal show. He'd hoped he would enjoy the legal performance boost of the maillot jaune, but if your goal is to undermine Andy Schleck you couldn't come up with a more potent combination than time trial bikes and fast descents. In the end, both he and Frank managed to finish in the top 20, but you could tell by the way Andy collapsed on his bike that he was devastated.
By the way, if you're looking for the Frandy Schleck at any point between next week and the start of the 2012 Tour de France, I'd check the wind tunnels, because that's where they're going to be living for the next 11 months.
Still, Andy and Frank will finish the Tour in second and third places respectively. That means two-thirds of the podium will consist of Schlecks, and a partial podium Schleck-clipse of that magnitude is pretty impressive. Alberto Contador, on the other hand, won't see the podium this year at all. In fact, as he left the start gate today, his foot slipped out of his pedal like he was a Fred trying to get started again at a green light. Really, his ride today summed up his entire Tour—solid but far from dominating, and plagued by mishaps.
But the final podium is still a full day away, and in the meantime tomorrow all eyes will be on Mark Cavendish—which, as far as he's concerned, is where they belong. Then, Cadel Evans will collect his final yellow jersey, and it will start raining frogs.


Amaranth - Are You Ready for a Change?
Amaranth is considered a weed by much of the world, but has been grown as a grain and vegetable for thousands of years. The Aztecs used it as a staple food and included it in their religious rituals. It has about the same yield as many other more commonly used grains like rice. Amaranth also has a similar nutritional value to quinoa, which makes it well worth looking into.
Cholesterol – The oils and phytosterols in amaranth help lower cholesterol levels, including LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides.
Inflammation – The anti-inflammatory properties in the peptides and oils of amaranth can ease pain and reduce inflammation. This is especially important for chronic conditions where inflammation erodes at health, such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Cancer – The same peptides in amaranth that protect against inflammation may also help prevent cancer. The antioxidants in this grain may also help protect cells from damage that can lead to cancer.
Blood Pressure – The fiber and phytonutrients in amaranth lower blood pressure according to some recent studies. This grain tackles cholesterol, inflammation, and blood pressure, making it all around a good food for heart health.
Protein – Amaranth is a very rich source of protein and this protein is also very bioavailable. The protein in amaranth is more digestible than other grains.
Lysine – Vegetables and grains are often lacking in this essential amino acid. Amaranth has a good amount of lysine which helps the body absorb calcium, build muscle, and produce energy.
Fiber – Amaranth is a high fiber food. This makes it filling and means it aids digestive health, cholesterol, blood pressure, and slows the absorption of sugars to let the body keep up with energy production.
Minerals – Amaranth is a very rich source of minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and copper. Amaranth contains more magnesium than other gluten-free grains. 1 cup of raw amaranth contains 519 milligrams of magnesium, followed by buckwheat with 393 milligrams and sorghum with 365 milligrams. In comparison, an equal amount of white rice contains 46 milligrams of magnesium. Amaranth contains more iron than other gluten-free grains. 1 cup of raw amaranth contains 15 milligrams of iron. Teff is a close second with 14.7 milligrams of iron. In comparison, white rice contains 1.5 milligrams of iron. It is also a good source of zinc, potassium, and phosphorus. These build strong bones and muscles, aid hydration, boost energy, and are vital in thousands of processes.
Vitamins – Amaranth is also a good source of many essential vitamins including A, C, E, K, B5, B6, folate, niacin, and riboflavin. These act as antioxidants, raise energy, control hormones, and much more.
Immune System – Amaranth may boost immune function according to some studies, probably thanks to the potent vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Gray Hair – Amaranth helps prevent premature graying, mainly due to the minerals.


There are a lot of good reasons I took a break from painting in oils, so here's the story. I began a series called Everyday Heroes (see ARCHIVE) in 2008. These were fun, whimsical paintings that I loved creating.
In 2011, we moved to another home and the size of my studio space was seriously reduced. I also had a job that was becoming more demanding and these paintings took time that I no longer had. By 2015, I felt that the Everyday Heroes series was completed.
A few months earlier I had surprised myself by taking up watercolor, having never really cared for the medium before. Doing watercolors of the figure was a new creative challenge for me. About the same time I started sculpting in clay, but due to my studio size limitation I was doing most of my work at various art centers in night classes.
In January 2017, my new home studio was completed and I had room to work on everything. It was so great just to have my own model stand. Some time in June, right in the middle of painting the model using watercolor, I decided it was time to paint in oils again. Bam, it just hit me out of the blue!
So I pulled out a canvas and jumped back in….and it's nice to be back.
