Birth of a Manufacturing Plant
Mazda Motor Corporation, Toyota | December 23, 2019
Mazda Toyota Manufacturing U.S.A. has quite the fish tale to tell about its $1.6 billion joint venture assembly plant rising in Huntsville, Alabama. Last summer, concerns raised over the spring pygmy sunfish, listed as a threatened species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, briefly halted prep work at the automotive construction site and ultimately cost the automaker several million dollars. It's a tiny thing, the spring pygmy sunfish, averaging less than an inch in length. As luck would have it, the rare fish is found in just two known locations, both in Alabama and one of which is adjacent to the new Mazda Toyota development. Several conservation groups raised alarms that construction at the auto site would harm sunfish habitat; at one point a lawsuit was threatened, but eventually the two sides in December 2018 reached an agreement in which Mazda Toyota would invest $6 million in conservation efforts related to the sunfish habitat.

Amazon Web Services, Volkswagen, Automotive manufacturer | July 29, 2020
VW is working with Amazon Web Services to build a marketplace for software applications designed to help the automaker's factories, like the one pictured above, run faster and more efficiently. Digital marketplaces are now in vogue as a place to bring business buyers and sellers together to research and purchase physical goods. But Volkswagen AG, Europe's biggest automotive manufacturer and the maker of VW, Audi and other vehicles, also sees a digital marketplace as an ideal way to bring together buyers and sellers of software applications and move the entire process of digital manufacturing even further into the mainstream. Volkswagen, in conjunction with Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing arm of Amazon.com Inc., is building what it bills as the "ultimate app store" for industrial software applications. The store will make available from multiple automotive industry suppliers software apps designed to increase speed and efficiency in developing parts and manufacturing vehicles at the car maker's 61 production plants and factories around the world.

SYNCHRO TEAMS
Even more magic from the Mixed Age category
By Shana VAN HOEGAERDEN
Team Illuminique (NED) at Lumière Cup 2019. (Credits: Skatesynchrophoto - 2019)
In part 1, the magic of the Mixed Age category focused on the thoughts and wishes of 15 European Mixed Age teams. They talked about who they are, what makes them special, and why they are so important for synchronized skating in general. In this article, the teams discuss the advantages and difficulties, competitions organized exclusively for Mixed Age, and their future perspectives.
Before you start... Discover the first part of this article here!
The good...
Of course, the Mixed Age category's most obvious benefit is the absence of an age limit.
No matter how old or young you are, you can compete. But right now, the interviewed Mixed Age teams shine some light on lesser-known benefits. For example, the number of teams in some countries. Snowflakes (SUI): "In Switzerland, there are more Mixed Age teams to compete against than in the Senior, Junior or Novice Advanced category. As a result, you do not have to go to international competitions only to compete against another team."

Another benefit is the possibility to choose your own goals. Some see it purely as a hobby, while others train to end up in a Junior or Senior team eventually. This explains the wide variation in advantages given by the Mixed Age teams.
Team Euphoria (CZE) talks about having less training than other categories, while Tyrol Diamonds (AUT) focuses on choosing the best skaters because they do not have to be concerned about age requirements.
And lastly, Team Ice Fire from Poland gives the most heartwarming benefit: "Because age is not a requirement, friends can skate together for much longer than they would in any other category."
"Friends can skate together for much longer." Team Ice Fire (POL) at Lumière Cup 2019. (Credits: Skatesynchrophoto - 2019)
... and the bad
Unfortunately, every benefit has its opposite. Whereas Mixed Age is the most popular category in some countries, there are barely any teams in others. Team Diamonds (EST): "In our country, this sport is not very developed, but we try to promote it and explain that this sport is amazing. At the moment, our team is the only one in Estonia."
Secondly, the freedom to choose a goal is a benefit as long as every team member supports the same goal. If some mainly want to have fun, and others want to work very hard, differences in motivation are inevitable. For example, this can lead to different opinions about the number of extra training sessions or individual commitments besides the regular hours.

One final remark is the lack of something big to work towards. Mixed Age isn't necessarily a category to transition into Junior or Senior, which means there is no specific goal. Of course, teams try to beat their score and place higher in competitions, but that is something typical in every category. Without World Championships or a category to work towards, it can be quite discouraging to train hard.
But luckily, a competition named the 'Mixed Age Trophy' might save the day.
Mixed Age Trophy
The Mixed Age Trophy is a fast-growing competition with teams from all over Europe.
Every year, 15 to 20 teams give the best to secure their place on the podium. Participants are selected by picking a maximum of 4 of the best Mixed Age teams from each country. Because of the Mixed Age category's exclusivity, some might see this as the World Cup for Mixed Age.
The medals for the Mixed Age Trophy 2020.
Unfortunately, the competition this year has been cancelled due to Covid-19. But synchro fans should not worry: the next one is already scheduled for the 26th and 27th of March, 2021 in Basel, Switzerland.
Future perspectives
Opinions are divided when it comes to the further development of the category. Depending on the goal of the team, the way they want to see the category evolve changes.
Some see Mixed Age mainly as a transition to Junior or Senior. Frost Fairies (ITA): "We believe that the best way for the category to evolve is to push each team to constantly improve, set goals and objectives compatible with the level of the category, and at the same time try to bring the Mixed Age category closer to Junior or Senior." This would involve the same content of the programs, more focus on skills, and more support from seminars and skating federations in general.
Other teams want a bigger focus on the category of Mixed Age itself. Team Ice Fire (POL) hopes to see Mixed Age improve every year with new elements being introduced, while Team Ice Stars (HUN) mentions they want more creativity in the program. Another remark is the inconsistency between competitions. Team Crystallice (BEL): "Sometimes vaults are permitted, sometimes not, which makes it necessary to slightly change the program depending on the competition." This creates the wish for Mixed Age to have their own fixed regulations.
Een bericht gedeeld door Team Frost Fairies ⛸ (@team_frostfairies)
Sadly, the most common remark is the hope for more recognition. Stavanger Pearls (NOR) puts into words what is felt by a very big part of the Mixed Age category: "We do feel like Mixed Age doesn't have the same status as Junior or Senior. That it might be judged as those who couldn't make it into another category, it's very difficult to be seen like this." Mixed Age is the best and only solution when skaters do not meet the categories' requirements based on age. For small regions that do not have a lot of ice possibilities, it is also the only solution to continue skating in synchro. This explains why 'Mixed Age' should not be equal to 'less skilled', but instead be valued as much as all the other categories.
Tyrol Diamonds (AUT) concludes: "It still has its flaws, but as a whole, it really is beneficial and essential for the sport synchronized skating."
Thank you to the following teams for contributing to this article: Frost Fairies (ITA), Les Flammes (FRA), Snowflakes (SUI), Solway Eclipse (GBR), Stavanger Pearls (NOR), Team Aviator (RUS), Team Butterfl'Ice (GER), Team Crystallice (BEL), Team Diamonds (EST), Team Euphoria (CZE), Team Ice Fire (POL), Team Ice Stars (HUN), Team Illuminique (NED), Team Infinity (SWE) and Tyrol Diamonds (AUT).

Hi everyone! I am Shana and I've been skating for eleven years. Five years ago I discovered synchronized skating and I've always wondered why that didn't happen sooner. Right now I'm a member of Team Crystallice, a mixed age team from Ghent, Belgium. Besides skating I'm keeping myself busy with creative projects, baking, and ordering way too many clothes online. I'm very excited to be a member of the Jura Synchro family and I can't wait to share my love for synchro with the whole synchro community.

We're not going to fire you. Mann is my brother. We'll rebuild. He doesn't seem interested in making friends. Ji had no idea that I'd be here. If I'd paid attention, I would've known what to do. I started dating Terrence. It's dangerous. You look good in this picture. Donnie keeps her jewels locked up in the bank.
What's wrong with my kissing technique? I'll bet Pria will know what to do. They won the battle at the cost of many lives. Why don't you see for yourself? I will never forget the day when I first met him. I imagined him a tall man. He was in the shower. Your ice cream will melt if you don't eat it quickly. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I understand his anger.
I feel really lucky. Did that hotel meet your expectations? I think you are a really nice person. I should've listened to them. Go on, but in Finnish. Len mortally injured Dylan when he ran her over with his dirt bike. I saw Ninja and the others. Amir never gave in to temptation. Starbuck received harassing messages on Twitter. I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
He amazed everyone by passing his driving test. There's nobody home. Spass may go anywhere he likes. Metin has no choice. I don't want him to know where I live. So, I'm arrived. You should speak with Gabriel. You can't help but like them. Did you have a wonderful time in New York? The Christian religion is from heaven. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it, and its professors are not afraid of its being examined. It has stood for eighteen hundred years, and it will stand long.
Please let me make it up to you. I'm going to do something by myself for a while. Ann won't be coming to our party. I hold you ever dearer. You really have a talent for translation. There is a chronic oversupply of rice in Japan. I bit the bullet and actually told her. There was an accident. He lost the watch that I had bought him a week before. There were various kinds of sweets.
Paula is bound to come here. Don't make them angry. I can't think of a suitable example. Have you told them this? We both know that it's no big deal. That's the problem with buying wholesale. For some reason he could not say the whole truth. These days, nearly every car has a GPS. She spoke to me with a smile. We all have to eat.
The medicine had no effect. I don't have time for games. She's a professional photographer. It's unclear why Ramadoss isn't here. I was forced to sell my car. What a big cake! Hold up, Marlena. I'm getting hot. She would not approve. Were you at the library yesterday afternoon?
You have another chance even if you fail this time. When we get down to brass tacks, we are all as guilty as the persons who actually committed the crime. Stanley will be back at 2:30. Barbara stared at the pictures. In this democratic age of ours men clamour for what is popularly considered the best, regardless of their feelings. They want the costly, not the refined; the fashionable, not the beautiful. I ran to the station not to miss the train. The teacher tells us to clean our classroom every day. The family mourned the tragic death of their young child. I just want to know that Patty is safe. What's my prize?
His joke eased the tension in the room. We already talked. It has never snowed on the island. Were you injured? They'll dance. Wes is usually quite direct, isn't he? Mitch is trying. Spying between friends is absolutely unacceptable. Please make yourself comfortable. He made a voluntary contribution to the school.
I prefer going out to staying at home. She advised him where he should stay. They all cheered. She's right behind me. Religious behaviour is much less regulated by the government here than in other places. He's an old windbag, you can't believe a word he says. You almost had me. Drive carefully! Those are treacherous roads up there. I'm too old for this sort of thing. Ramiro took Neil to the hospital on the back of his motorcycle.


CyBC officially announces that it will participate at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place on November 15th 2014 in Malta. The entrant for Cyprus, who has been chosen by an internal selection, will be the 13 year-old Sophia Patsalides from Nicosia.
As is known, EBU allows participating members to select their entrants in any way they deem appropriate, and CyBC has come to its decision for an internal selection after a very serious proposal by Silver Spotlight Productions (the entertainment company of Cypriot Eurovision veteran Alex Panayi) with main criterion the exceptional vocal talents of Sophia.
The song that will represent Cyprus is co-written by Alex Panayi (music), Stavros Stavrou (lyrics) and Sophia Patsalides (music and lyrics).
The song will be performed in Greek and will have some lyrics in English.
Vocal directing / coaching: Alex Panayi and Katerina A. Christofidou.
Cyprus promises an exciting return to the Junior Eurovision Song contest, believing in the talent of Sophia and of course the writing skills of Alex Panayi (Cyprus 1995, 2000) and Stavros Stavrou who have written a number of hits together the past two years, including two musicals for young viewers and their families that have been a huge success in Cyprus.

Just a Lucky so and So: The Story of Louis Armstrong

ALA Booklist
It may well be that Louis Armstrong was "just a lucky so and so," as the title of this biography proclaims, but between the covers of this book is the tale of a life of optimism, persistence, and resourcefulness. Little Louis Armstrong was born in the poor part of New Orleans and got his start listening to the music of his neighborhood brass bands, honky-tonk combos, and church songs. Louis first started tooting his tin horn at age seven while working with Morris, a scrap collector who bought the boy his first horn and encouraged him to play. Louis' optimism never wavered, even in the face of heartbreaking setbacks, and his broad smile earned him the nickname, Satchel mouth tchmo, for short. The narrative is dense with biographical details about his rise to fame and quotes from Satchmo himself. Bold watercolor illustrations infused with light and movement add the perfect complement to this sweet tale of one of America's musical taures. Can be paired with Troy Andrews' Trombone shorty (2015).
The story of Armstrong's childhood and early adulthood is told in two voices and two fonts: a black, sans serif font for the third-person account, and a colorful font for (undocumented) first-person quotations from Satchmo himself. While the illustrations maintain a consistently upbeat mood, the story is one of challenge and optimism. Details in a lengthy author's note are better suited to older readers.
Despite impoverished beginnings, music and a prevailing joie de vivre carried young Louis Armstrong from the streets of New Orleans to the stages of New York City, Hollywood, and Europe. The Ransomes swiftly trace Armstrong-s musical development, acquiring his first -pawnshop cornet- and apprenticing with mentor Joe Oliver; an unwelcome stint at the Colored Waif-s Home for Boys provided additional training. Quotations from Armstrong float across the pages (-When I pick up that horn, that-s all. The world-s behind me, and I don-t concentrate. On nothing but it. I love them notes-) as Ransome-s fluid watercolors bring to life both the New Orleans neighborhood Armstrong called home and his musical passion-he-s holding or playing his horn in nearly every scene. A detailed author-s note dives deeper into the performer-s life, rounding out a solid introduction to Satchmo. Ages 6-10. (Feb.)
PreS-Gr 3 The iconic and groundbreaking musician gets a gorgeous picture book biography from the wife-and-husband team who created Benny Goodman and Teddy Wilson: Taking the Stage as the First Black-and-White Jazz Band in History (Holiday House, 2014). The mostly lyrical work touches upon the jazz performer's humble beginnings in New Orleans, his musical influences, and his career highlights. The watercolor illustrations elevate the narrative; ranging in color from murky browns to gem-toned hues. Ransome's depictions are reminiscent of Jerry Pinkney's artwork in Marilyn Nelson's Sweethearts of Rhythm: The Story of the Greatest All-Girl Swing Band in the World (Dial, 2009). The variation of design, with square-shaped insets, joy-filled profiles, and vivacious dance scenes, makes the paintings reverberate off the page. The sometimes dry text doesn't shy away from the not-so-lucky moments of the entertainer's early life, including his scrapes with the law, which landed him at the Colored Waif's Home for Boys. One scene, in which a young Armstrong holds a gun at a New Year's Eve celebration, may shock sensitive readers. It was at this home where Armstrong found his true calling as a musician. Quotations from Armstrong are sprinkled throughout, but, unfortunately, source notes aren't provided. However, the detailed author's note offers more background information for young researchers, and the back matter includes age-appropriate further reading and links to websites that feature archive photos and sound recordings. Armstrong's connection to the "Just a Lucky So and So" referenced in the title, a song written by Duke Ellington and David Mack, which Armstrong and Ellington performed on a famous 1961 recording, is fleshed out in the author's note but doesn't receive much elaboration in the text. VERDICT A solid choice for school libraries and collections looking to freshen up biography collections for school-age readers. Shelley Diaz , School Library Journal

He was born "black, poor, and lucky." The glowing story of "Satchmo"—the great jazz musician, Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong has been called the most important improviser in the history of jazz. Although his New Orleans neighborhood was poor in nearly everything else, it was rich in superb music. Young Louis took it all in, especially the cornet blowing of Joe "King" Oliver. But after a run-in with the police, 11-year-old Louis was sent away to the Colored Waif's Home for Boys where he became a disciplined musician in the school's revered marching band.
Ultimately, he was to travel the world from Chicago to Paris and would transform jazz through his improvised singing ("scatting") and masterful trumpet playing. He played with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and other jazz greats of his day. Armstrong was the first African-American man to host a national radio show, and the first jazz musiciain to write an autobiography.
This is a joyful tribute to the virtuoso musician and buoyant personality who introduced much of the world to jazz. The author's note includes a detailed biography and resources to learn more about Louis Armstrong and jazz.

Peter Hill: Imagining the City, 1957-59
…Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
So ends Blake's 'Jerusalem', sung at the Labour election victory of 1945. Between that date and 1957, the shape of Britain's urban landscape had changed enormously, in large part due to the reforms of the Attlee government (New Towns Act, 1946; Town and Country Planning Act, 1947). Bombed-out areas of cities had been rebuilt wholesale; 'New Towns' had sprung up in rural areas – over a million new homes were built under the Labour government. The construction of council houses was continuing, though at a reduced rate, under the Tories. The Labour Party, in opposition, had just issued Homes for the Future: A Socialist Policy for Housing (London: Labour Party, 1956). But were the new towns and council estates a new Jerusalem, or merely another set of Satanic mills? This programme of town planning was strongly criticised from many quarters: the Architectural Review, in an issue entitled Outrage, and the art and architecture students who formed the 'Anti-Ugly' campaign, attacked the Philistinism of many new buildings.
At the same time, some on the Left deplored the failure to create genuine new urban centres. The Association of Building Technicians held a conference on 'Housing the City Dweller' in January 1957, where discussions centred on the regeneration of existing cities, against the concentration on New Towns. It was in this context that the two journals of the early New Left in Britain, the Universities and Left Review and the New Reasoner (soon to merge into the New Left Review) took up the issue of urban planning. Graeme Shankland opened the town planning debate in ULR with a quotation from D. H. Lawrence: 'The English are town birds through and through today, as the inevitable result of their complete industrialisation. Yet they don't know how to build a city, how to think of one, or how to live in one.' ('The Crisis in Town Planning', ULR 1, Spring 1957. All back issues of the ULR and New Reasoner are freely available online at http://www.amielandmelburn.org.uk/archive_index.htm). Lawrence, in the 1920s, had attacked vigorously the narrow-mindedness of 'the Englishman's home is his castle' and deplored the lack of a true civic spirit in Britain ('Nottingham and the Mining Country,' written 1929, in D. H. Lawrence, Selected Essays, Penguin, 1950). This strand was continued by those who criticised much of the new housing for being insufficiently urban and likely to lead to 'subtopia'. The 'Anti-Ugly' strand of criticism also found its place in ULR, with a set of photographs of new developments with comments attacking, for instance, the 'these castles for Englishmen at Bletchinton [which] float eloquently in their turgid sea of black asphalt.' ('The Crisis in Town Planning', ULR 2, Summer 1957).
To Shankland and Ralph Samuel, the concentration on New Towns was itself a shirking of the real issue: the existing 'dead centres'. These were more intractable, due to the number of preexisting vested interests. Attlee's planners, constructing new Jerusalems in the countryside, had turned a blind eye to the Old Babylon of the capitalist city. Samuel argued: 'Public ownership of urban land sites is surely a minimum requirement of a socialist town planning policy.' ('Politics of town planning', Left notebook, ULR 2, Summer 1957). This criticism of the New Towns links up with the wider New Left criticism of the reformist policies of those years, which purported to believe that general prosperity could be achieved for Britain without actually confronting the entrenched interests of capital: welfare would be financed out of growth, not by any substantial redistribution of wealth (see, for instance, the anatomy of British capitalism The Insiders (ULR 3, Winter 1957), and the criticisms of Anthony Crosland's The Future of Socialism: e.g. Gordon Henderson, 'Can Capitalism Survive?', ULR 2, Summer 1957). Cutting across these debates around the aesthetics of town planning and the nature of the urban was another, sharper argument within the New Left over the contrast between the old, densely-packed working-class neighbourhoods and the more spacious but 'subtopian' planned developments to which many people were being transplanted. Here more than anywhere else, arguments about the shape of the city, about homes and lifestyles, were widening into arguments about the kind of people, the kind of society, then being created in Britain. Charles Taylor (the leftist Catholic philosopher) stressed the importance of the 'salvage' of existing communities over the creation of New Towns ('Alienation and Community', ULR 5, Autumn 1958) Citing the early classic of British sociology, Young and Wilmott's Family and Kinship in East London, Peter Worsley drew attention to the disruption of communities caused by relocation from 'slum' areas: 'From these slums, people are being removed as 'elementary' [i.e. nuclear] families on to new housing estates, where, despite physically superior conditions, they are often desperately lonely and lost without the relatives and friends who used to live around them. These are facts well-known to working-class people in their daily experience; they are not so well-known to the planners, architects and officials responsible for replacing, in their astounding ignorance, one set of miseries in the slums by another set in the new estates.' ('Britain – Unknown Country,' New Reasoner 5, Summer 1958).
In a study of the early years of two 'new towns', Harlow and Crawley, by Ellis Salomon, Janet Hayes and other members of the ULR Club, we get close to the actual texture of these changes in people's lives. In Harlow, Salomon noted the interesting fact that many new arrivals moved around the town quite often, 'trying to replace the friendships of their former environments' or 'searching for neighbours with whom they could be friends'. In both towns, the vast majority also said that they would prefer to move back to London, if they could get similar houses there. In the desire to move back to London and the search for new friendships we can see, perhaps, some of the frustrated desires which the new environment could not fulfil. The most common pattern, however, was towards a greater emphasis on the home, and home-centred activities such as gardening and television, rather than the neighbourhood. The typical comment of a working-class woman was: "I say, what do you have a good home for if not to stay there?" ('Impressions of Two New Towns', ULR 5, Autumn 1958).
In reports like these we can see the shift away from the communal modes of densely-packed working-class communities, to a more private style of living. When it came to evaluating these changes, however, the debate became more heated. In articles by Gordon Redfern and Stuart Hall, sensitivity to existing communities seemed in danger of tipping over into nostalgia for 'traditional working-class' areas and their attendant virtues. Richard Hoggart's The Uses of Literacy had given a picture of how the old way of life of working-class Leeds was now being eroded, in the 1950s, by the glossy new consumerism. Redfern and Hall now drew on this in attacking the new 'materialism' of the working class (Redfern, 'The Real Outrage' and Hall, 'A Sense of Classlessness', ULR 5, Autumn 1958). This drew a sharp rejoinder from Edward Thompson, who accused Redfern in particular of 'misusing' Hoggart's work, asking: 'What do we want the present generation of working people to fight for? We do not want to push them back into the old, cramped, claustrophobic community which was based on the grim equality of hardship. The aspiration towards community, if it arises in the present generation, will be far richer and more complex, with far more insistence on variety, freedom of movement, and freedom of choice, than in the old-style community…. I must confess to some impatience with this nostalgia for the "whole way of life" of the old working-class community….' For Thompson, the old pattern of living was not in fact a 'whole way of life', but in many ways a cramped and damaged way of life. When Redfern picked on the washing machine as evidence of working-class 'materialism', Thompson retorted hotly that this was 'not a symbol of "status" but a machine to wash clothes with. I do not know what moral and cultural values are attached to the kitchen sink, a washboard, and the week's wash for a family of five.' ('Commitment in Politics', ULR 6, Spring 1959).
In a similar spirit, John Harlow attacked 'sentimental town planners' who 'work out plans based on new neighbourhoods, multi-level corridor streets, mixed development, and social centres – all drawn from an outsider's view of cosy working class relationships which of course 'must not be disturbed'…. Thus they conservatively attempt to perpetuate the urban society which sprung from an environment created for peasants by naked capitalism!' The now more prosperous working class are aware of 'wider cultural opportunities…. They find that most of what was good in the old pattern of life is now being superseded, leaving only all that was worst – the taboos, petty lawlessness and social frustration – all of which are now without balance. Their aim is to escape this frustrating and irrelevant existence so admirably entrenched in slum and low cost housing.' And the 'New Town' had indeed given them 'a measure of social and cultural independence, but the price is isolation from all urban activity and the fragmentation of the family…. The family has exchanged the tense, personal, integrated space/time relationship of the slum, with its abominable physical environment, for the slack, impersonal and frustrating space/time relationships of the New Town with its incongruous ribbon and crescent environment mitigated only by sunlight and greenery.' ('One New Town', ULR 5, Autumn 1958).
In contrast to both the old 'slum' neighbourhood and the new 'subtopia', the New Left was trying to imagine what a genuine socialist city might look like. Again, D. H. Lawrence was central to their thinking. He had associated the old industrial village where he grew up less with working-class solidarity than with the narrow 'cottager' feeling of the English, as well as the ugliness of industrial capitalism. He had shown little enough nostalgia for 'The blackened brick dwellings, the black slate roofs glistening their sharp edges, the mud black with coal-dust, the pavements wet and black' which he described in Lady Chatterley's Lover. He went on: 'It was as if dismalness had soaked through and through everything. The utter negation of natural beauty, the utter negation of the gladness of life….' His own vision of the renewal of this landscape was bold and ruthless: 'Pull down my native village to the last brick. Plan a nucleus. Fix the focus. Make a handsome gesture of radiation from the focus. And then put up big buildings, handsome, that sweep to a civic centre. And furnish them with beauty…. Make a new England….' ('Nottingham and the Mining Country,' p. 122.) In this, 'the bigger gesture of the citizen, not the cottager', Lawrence envisaged a genuine civism superseding both the narrow individualism of the suburban semi-detached and the warm but cramped solidarity of the old working-class neighbourhood. In the same spirit Raymond Williams, in 1958, wrote of 'the conversion of the defensive element of solidarity into the wider and more positive practice of neighbourhood.' (Culture and Society, Penguin, 1961 (orig. 1958), p. 320).
John Harlow, in his vision of 'One New Town', tried to translate such suggestions into concrete proposals. 'The object should be to create a truly urban town with the necessary high density and so reap the advantages of civilization, without at once organising it in such a way that tribal taboos and irrelevant social sanctions re-emerge; and further that freedom of association and activity is promoted. The basis of the New Town must therefore be the brotherhood of man, not fake precinct, neighbourhood or class solidarity.' The new town would be built to last, by a nationalised building industry; it would use craftsmanship but take advantage of new technologies. 'If we accept our new materials wholeheartedly there need be little maintenance to waste our future builders' time and energy. We could build ourselves a light, graceful, dust-free architecture using glass, plastics, concrete and metal alloys. Flexibility will arise inevitably from the use of small mass produced components assembled in a great variety of ways.' ('One New Town').
This vision, of a city or of a society, was never realised in those years. In the actual administration of social housing, as with other parts of the nationalised economy, the lack of democracy was all too clear. Raymond Williams noted later (1961): 'the way [council] houses and estates are commonly managed, by supposedly democratic authorities. I have seen letters to tenants from council housing officials that almost made my hair stand on end, and the arbitrary and illiberal regulation of many such estates is justly notorious.' (The Long Revolution, Parthian, 2011 (orig. 1961), p. 361). The failure of statist town planning and administration to achieve genuine democracy seems clear. Again, the wider social conclusion can be drawn from the experience of urban policy: supposedly open, democratic and egalitarian institutions were and are run in authoritarian ways. This failure accelerated the increasing privatisation of life and the appeal of consumerism: if the only significant unit was the family and its home (not the wider community), and if council estates meant only undemocratic regulation by rude officials, one can see the appeal of the 'right to buy'. From Mervyn Jones' criticism of Labour's 1959 election propaganda – 'Pride of place in the 'glossy' is given to Your Home' ('The Glossy Election', New Reasoner 8, Spring 1959) – one can draw a straight line to New Labour in the 1990s and the 'Conservatory Principle' ('no-one should be allowed to be leader of the Labour Party who does not understand the desire to own a conservatory': The Purple Book). It was on these new estates that the new 'mobile privatized' lifestyle Raymond Williams was to identify was being created on a mass scale (see my article on 'Mobile Privatization', OLR 7).
In such details of urban experience we can see the cultural underpinnings of the decline of the labour movement and the aggressively individualistic ethos of Thatcherism. Fabian social engineering, as represented by the Attlee government, had failed to construct a new Jerusalem, while the Old Babylon of the capitalist city continued to grow. In Britain we were left, in urban policy as in other areas of social thinking, with an apparent choice between two false alternatives: the prosperity and freedom of consumerism, or the drab egalitarianism of what passed for socialism; the new 'glossy' style of advertising, Labour's electioneering, and the 1951 Festival of Britain, versus 'the grim equality of hardship' of old-style working-class life, the 'the hard, sharing world of the war' (Raymond Williams, 'Notes on Marxism in Britain since 1945', in Culture and Materialism, Verso, 2005; Edward Thompson, 'Commitment in Politics').
This knot in our thinking has yet to be untied: in struggles over urban space, it is still all too easy for existing working-class communities to conduct merely inward-looking, defensive battles, while the creativity of artists and architects is co-opted into capitalist projects of gentrification (cf. Luka Boeskens' 'Return of the Gentry' elsewhere in this issue of the OLR). Fabian social engineering has failed to construct new Jerusalems, while the Old Babylon of the capitalist city continues to reproduce itself. The vision of D. H. Lawrence, the plans of John Harlow, Graeme Shankland and the Association of Building Technicians, remain on paper.
As a final comment on this debate, and a contribution to the project of imagining better cities, and better societies, we might take a passage from Raymond Williams in 1983. Looking back to the communities that had once been the mainstay of socialism, he wrote: 'What strikes me most about those traditionally militant areas is that people were not forced to define themselves along any single dimension. True, they were – as was always said – employees or workers in a common situation. But they were also, and insisted on being, neighbours, interconnected by family. They were inhabitants of a particular place, often with a very strong local consciousness. There were non-contradictory relations between being working class and being socialist, or between being locally patriotic and the family relation meshing with it.' ('Problems of the Coming Period,' New Left Review I/140, July-August 1983).
Williams suggested, in other words, that it was not the homogeneous, levelled-down characteristics of these communities which gave them strength, but the extent to which – within such constraints – they could create fullness and variety in their social relationships. Different kinds of bonding came together into a mesh which was then strong enough to create a model of a genuinely alternative social order. In this way we can see the strength and potential of communities and social movements, not in terms of uniformity and simplicity, but in terms of the fullness, the variety and coherence of their common life. We still need to attend to this vision of what might lie beyond either the oppressive closeness of the Victorian slum and the privatised and fragmented society of the suburb. What we are now searching for is a principle of organisation which can allow such a strength – indeed, a greater strength – to be attained, without losing the flexibility and mobility which are the genuine gains of recent years. Imagining the urban – and perhaps also rural – forms this principle might take is crucial to the possibility of its realisation. It is in a sense the measure of our ability to make such ideas concrete.

Though he opens with "Light This Party Up," a super-catchy dose of power-pop crunch, Springfield steers his 2016 set toward modern Nashville. Songs like "That One" and "The Best Damn Thing" don't sound very far from Keith Urban or Rascal Flatts, whose Jay DeMarcus actually helped write the jangling "Down." "Miss Mayhem" alternates dobro-strummed verses with a post-grunge chorus, and "All Hands on Deck" is a sea chantey with fiddles. Springfield sings mainly about women he feels lucky, or not so lucky, to know.

The First Fleet is the name given to the group of eleven ships carrying convicts, the first to do so, that left England in May 1787 and arrived in Australia in January 1788. The ships departed with an estimated 775 convicts (582 men and 193 women), as well as officers, marines, their wives and children, and provisions and agricultural implements. After 43 convicts had died during the eight-month trip, 732 landed at Sydney Cove.

In 2005, the First Fleet Garden, a memorial to the First Fleet immigrants, friends and others was created on the banks of Quirindi Creek at Wallabadah, New South Wales. Stonemason Ray Collins researched and then carved the names of all those who came out to Australia on the eleven ships in 1788 on tablets along the garden pathways. The stories of those who arrived on the ships, their life, and first encounters with the Australian country are presented throughout the garden.

No single definitive list of people who travelled on those ships exists; however, historians have pieced together as much data about these pioneers as possible. In the late 1980s, a simple software program with a database of convicts became available for Australian school students, both as a history and an information technology learning guide. An on-line version is now hosted by the University of Wollongong.

Digitised images of the lists from the Orders in Council for the First Fleet are available on the Convict Indents Index.

The six ships that transported the First Fleet convicts were:
 Alexander
 Charlotte
 Friendship
 Lady Penrhyn
 Prince of Wales

So much about its advantages. Ironically, these very advantages give rise to its disadvantages. The ease of mind provided by this system sometimes can be misused by some unscrupulous people. If a member of the family is lazy, he finds it easy enough to live on the fruits of others' labor; he never realizes the importance of earning his own livelihood. Once he acquires such taste, he will find many excuses to avoid work. After all, why should he exert himself when there are other relatives ready to take his burden on their shoulders?

Phrase of the Week: Slap on the Face
The Word of the Week comes from China Digital Space's Grass-Mud Horse Lexicon, a glossary of terms created by Chinese netizens and frequently encountered in online political discussions. These are the words of China's online "resistance discourse," used to mock and subvert the official language around censorship and political correctness.
Wang Lijun's slap from Bo Xilai was "heard 'round the world."
耳光 (ěr guāng): slap on the face
In 2012, there were two famous "slaps on the face."
The first became a pivotal moment in the downfall of former Chongqing mayor and Party chief Bo Xilai, and was revealed during the trial of fallen Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun, once Bo's close ally and deputy mayor. When Wang revealed to Bo that his wife Gu Kailai was a suspect in the case of slain British businessman Neil Heywood, Bo reportedly slapped Wang on the face in front of his subordinates. This slap was apparently the tipping point that caused Wang, in fear for his personal safety, to flee the U.S. embassy in an unsuccessful bid for asylum. Wang's flight drew Beijing's attention to the murder investigation and ultimately led to the ouster of Bo and the conviction of his wife.
The slap inspired visual Internet memes and sparked much netizen commentary. Netizens dubbed the incident "the slap heard round the world". One quipped, "The system couldn't change things, the people couldn't change things—the only thing that changed things was a slap on the face."
The other "slap on the face" occurred amid the 2012 protests over Japan's claim to the Diaoyu Islands. During the protests, a pro-Mao faction emerged, shouting slogans such as, "We miss you, Chairman Mao." An elderly man stepped forward and said, "It doesn't make sense to place our hopes for our country's dignity and nationalism on Mao Zedong." Thereupon, well-known Mao-sympathizer and Beijing Aeronautical University professor Han Deqiang approached the elderly man and slapped him twice. The photograph of Han slapping the elderly man circulated widely on the Internet, and a national debate ensued. While many netizens were enraged and the party mouthpiece People's Daily went so far as to publish an editorial urging Han's arrest, other members of China's New Left movement spoke in his defense. Han remained unrepentant, stating that the man was talking nonsense and deserved to be hit.

Has The Last Typewriter Factory Closed? Not Really : The Two-Way The headline got our attention. But the facts show that there are still companies out there making typewriters. But are any of them producing manual models?

A Remington International, circa 1961.
Way back when we first got into the reporting business, an editor (or perhaps several), said that you'd better be absolutely, positively sure if you ever use phrases like "best ever" or "last ever" or "only one in the world."
You're almost surely going to be proved wrong, the crusty old newshounds would say.
Well, when we saw the Daily Mail headline declaring that the "Last Typewriter Factory Left In The World Closes Its Doors," we were suspicious.
And there was this nagging feeling that we knew that wasn't right.
Well, we certainly should have known. The Daily Mail focused on the end of typewriter production by India's Godrej and Boyce. But as this Two-Way post from July 2009 shows, New Jersey's Swintec has been doing a very good business in typewriters for quite a few years now. Convicts and cops are among their best customers.
And you don't have to look too far on the Web to find other typewriters, from companies such as Brother International.
Where the Daily Mail may be right, though we haven't been able to confirm as of yet, is that Godrej and Boyce was producing manual typewriters — as in non-electronic models, like the one that this blogger learned how to type on back in the early '70s.
So, folks, here's the question: Does anyone know of another company that's currently producing manual typewriters? Please tell us in the comments thread.

Q: Continuity requirement for unitary representations Let $G$ be a locally compact group and let $\pi : G \rightarrow U(\mathcal{H}_\pi)$ be a group homomorphism into the group of unitary operators on a separable complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_\pi$. Suppose that for every $v \in \mathcal{H}_\pi$ the map
$$G \ni g \mapsto \langle \pi(g)v,v\rangle \in \mathbb{C}$$
is measurable. I would like to show that this implies that $\pi$ is a unitary representation, that is, $\pi$ is continuous with respect to the strong operator topology on $\mathrm{B}(\mathcal{H}_\pi)$, meaning that for any $v \in \mathcal{H}_\pi$ the map
$$G \ni g \mapsto \pi(g)v \in \mathcal{H}_\pi$$
is continuous.
The separability of $\mathcal{H}_\pi$ is crucial for the problem at hand. However, I don't see how I can use this together with the fact that the map
$$G \ni g \mapsto \langle \pi(g)v,v\rangle \in \mathbb{C}$$
is measurable in order to deduce the continuity requirement above.
I was hoping that you could explain how to prove the statement above.
Thank you in advance.

A: In what follows, I give a full proof of the statement above. I found particularly useful the arguments given by S. A. Gaal in his book ''Linear Analysis and Representation Theorey'' (see e.g. Theorems V.7.1, V.7.3), which I found thanks to the comment given by Ruy above.
To begin with, we show that for every $v,w \in \mathcal{H}$ the map $$G \ni g  \longmapsto \langle \pi_g v,w \rangle \in \mathbb{C}$$ is also measurable. Indeed, since sums of measurable functions are measurable, we see that
\begin{align*}
     \sum_{k=1}^4 i^k\langle \pi_g (v+i^kw), v+i^kw \rangle &= 4 \langle \pi_g v,w \rangle
 \end{align*}
depends measurable on $g$, too. We now give some preparatory arguments. Denote by $m$ a left Harr measure on $G$. Note that we can associate with $\pi$ a bounded representation $\pi_* : L^1(G) \rightarrow \mathrm{B}(\mathcal{H})$ via the weak integral
\begin{equation*}
     \pi_*(f)u = \int_G \pi_g u f(g) \mathrm{d} m(g),
 \end{equation*}
which means we define $\pi_*(f)u$ by the Fréchet-Riesz representation theorem and the formula
\begin{equation*}
     \langle \pi_*(f)u, w \rangle = \int_G \langle \pi_g u, w \rangle f(g) \mathrm{d} m(g)
 \end{equation*}
for all $w \in \mathcal{H}$. This is possible as $g \mapsto \langle \pi_g u, w \rangle$ is assumed to be measurable. Moreover, one has
\begin{equation*}
     \Big \vert \int_G \langle \pi_g u, w \rangle f(g) \mathrm{d} m(g) \Big \vert \leq \int_G \vert \langle \pi_g u, w \rangle \vert \vert f(g) \vert \mathrm{d} m(g) \leq \Vert u \Vert \Vert w \Vert \Vert f \Vert_1
 \end{equation*}
and hence $\Vert \pi_*(f) \Vert \leq \Vert f \Vert_1$. Next, we decompose $\mathcal{H}$ into a direct sum of cyclic subspaces with respect to $\pi_*$. Let $v \in \mathcal{H}$ and define the closed $\pi_*$-invariant subspace
\begin{equation*}
     \mathcal{H}(v) := \overline{\langle \pi_*(L^1(G)) v \rangle_\mathbb{C}}.
 \end{equation*}
It is possible that $\mathcal{H}(v) = \{0\}$. Clearly, $\pi_*\vert_{\mathcal{H}(v)}$ is a cyclic representation with cyclic generator $v$. We are going to apply Zorn's lemma: consider families consisting of non-zero subspaces $\mathcal{H}_i$, $(i \in I)$, such that $\mathcal{H}_i \perp \mathcal{H}_j$ if $i \neq j$ and $\pi_*\vert_{\mathcal{H}_i}$ is cyclic. We partially order the collection of such families $\mathcal{H}_i$, $(i \in I)$, by the inclusion relation. Every linearly ordered subset has an upper bound, namely the union of the individual families in the chain. Thus by Zorn's lemma there exists a family $\mathcal{H}_i$, $(i \in I)$, which is maximal with respect to inclusion. Then
\begin{equation*}
     \mathcal{H}_0 = \Big ( \bigoplus_{i \in I} \mathcal{H}_i \Big ) ^\perp
 \end{equation*}
consists only of such vectors $v$ for which $\pi_*(L^1(G))v = 0$: otherwise $\mathcal{H}(v)$ could be joined to our family in contradiction to its maximality. Thus
\begin{equation*}
     \mathcal{H} = \mathcal{H}_0 \oplus \bigoplus_{i \in I} \mathcal{H}_i
 \end{equation*}
is the desired cyclic decomposition. Using the separability of $\mathcal{H}$, we can require $I$ to be countably infinite. We claim that $\mathcal{H}_0 = \{0\}$. Let $(v_1,v_2,\dots)$ be an orthonormal basis in $\mathcal{H}$ and let $v \in \mathcal{H}_0$. Then one has
\begin{equation*}
     \langle \pi_*(f)v,v_n \rangle = \int_G \langle \pi_g(v), v_n \rangle f(g) \mathrm{d} m(g) = 0
 \end{equation*}
for all $f \in L^1(G)$ and $n \geq 1$. Hence $\langle \pi_g(v), v_n \rangle = 0$ for $n \geq 1$ and for $m$-almost every $g \in G$. Since  $(v_1,v_2,\dots)$ is an orthonormal basis, we deduce that $\pi_g(v) = 0$ for $m$-almost every $g \in G$. Since $G$ is of positive or infinite measure there is $g_0 \in G$ such that $\pi_{g_0}(v) = 0$ and so $\pi_{g_0}$ being invertible we obtain $v = 0$. Since $v$ was arbitrary we conclude that $\mathcal{H}_0 = \{0\}$, as claimed. Now we go over to the proof of the main statement. Suppose first that $\pi_*$ is cyclic and define the linear subspace
\begin{equation*}
     \mathcal{H}' := \{\pi_*(f)v \: \vert \: f \in C_0(G)\}
 \end{equation*}
where $v$ is a cyclic vector for $\pi_*$. Then $\mathcal{H}'$ is dense in $\mathcal{H}$ because for every $f' \in L^1(G)$ there is an $f \in C_0(G)$ such that $\Vert f - f' \Vert_1 < \varepsilon$. The main idea to conclude the proof is to define a function $\tau : G \rightarrow \mathrm{B}(\mathcal{H})$ which will turn out to be a unitary representation and which satisfies $\tau = \pi$, showing that $\pi$ is a unitary representation. Given $g_0 \in G$, we first define $\tau_{g_0}$ only on $\mathcal{H}'$ by
\begin{equation*}
     \tau_{g_0} \xi = \tau_{g_0} \pi_*(f)v = \pi_*(\lambda_{g_0}f)v,
 \end{equation*}
where $\xi = \pi_*(f)v$ and $\lambda : G \rightarrow \mathrm{B}(L^1(G))$ is defined by $\lambda_g f(h) = f(g^{-1}h)$. We show that $\tau_{g_0}$ is an isometry on $\mathcal{H}'$:
\begin{align*}
     \Vert \tau_{g_0} \xi \Vert^2 &= \langle \pi_*(\lambda_{g_0}f)v, \pi_*(\lambda_{g_0}f)v \rangle \\
     &= \int_G \lambda_{g_0}f(g) \langle \pi_g v, \pi_*(\lambda_{g_0}f)v \rangle \mathrm{d} m(g) \\
     &= \int_G \int_G \lambda_{g_0}f(g) \overline{\lambda_{g_0}f(h)}\langle \pi_g v, \pi_h v \rangle \mathrm{d} m(g) \mathrm{d} m(h) \\
     &= \int_G \int_G f(g) \overline{f(h)}\langle \pi_g v, \pi_h v \rangle \mathrm{d} m(g) \mathrm{d} m(h) \\
     &= \langle \pi_*(f)v, \pi_*(f)v \rangle \\
     &= \Vert \xi \Vert^2,
 \end{align*}
where we used that $\pi$ is unitary and the fact that $m$ is left-invariant. Since $\mathcal{H}'$ is dense in $\mathcal{H}$ one can extend $\tau_{g_0}$ to a unitary transformation
\begin{equation*}
     \tau_{g_0}: \mathcal{H} \longrightarrow \mathcal{H}.
 \end{equation*}
Moreover, from
\begin{equation*}
     \tau_g (\tau_h \xi) = \tau_g \pi_*(\lambda_h f)v = \pi_*(\lambda_g \lambda_h f)v = \pi_*(\lambda_{gh} f)v = \tau_{gh} \xi,
 \end{equation*}
it follows that $\tau$ is a homomorphism with values in the group of unitary operators on $\mathcal{H}$. We shall now prove that $\tau$ is a unitary representation (satisfying the continuity requirement). Given $\xi = \pi_*(f)v$, one has
\begin{align*}
     \Vert \tau_g \xi - \xi \Vert &= \Vert \pi_*(\lambda_g f)v - \pi_*(f)v \Vert = \Vert \pi_*(\lambda_g f - f)v \Vert \\
     & \leq \Vert v \Vert \vert \pi_*(\lambda_g f - f) \Vert \leq \Vert v \Vert \Vert \lambda_g f - f \Vert_1.
 \end{align*}
Since $f \in C_0(G)$ by the right uniform continuity of $f$ we have $\Vert \lambda_g f - f \Vert_\infty \rightarrow 0$ as $g \rightarrow e$. Thus by the same reasoning as in the proof of the continuity of the left regular representation of $G$ one has $\Vert \lambda_g f - f \Vert_1 \rightarrow 0$ as $g \rightarrow e$. Hence $\tau_g \xi \rightarrow \xi$ as $g \rightarrow e$ for every fixed $\xi \in \mathcal{H}'$. Since $\mathcal{H}'$ is dense in $\mathcal{H}$ for any given $w \in \mathcal{H}$ and $\varepsilon > 0$ we can find a $\xi$ in $\mathcal{H}'$ such that $\Vert w - \xi \Vert < \varepsilon/3$. Since $\tau$ is unitary $\Vert \tau_g (w -\xi) \Vert < \varepsilon/3$ for every $g \in G$. We know the existence of a neighbourhood $U$ of $e$ in $G$ such that $\Vert \tau_g \xi - \xi \Vert < \varepsilon /3$ for every $g \in U$. Thus given $\varepsilon > 0$ we found $U$ such that
\begin{equation*}
     \Vert \tau_g w -w \Vert \leq \Vert \tau_g (w - \xi) \Vert + \Vert \tau_g \xi - \xi \Vert + \Vert \xi - w \Vert \leq \varepsilon
 \end{equation*}
for all $g \in U$. Hence $\tau$ is strongly continuous at $e$. Now we prove that $\tau = \pi$: for all $g_0 \in G$, $\xi \in \mathcal{H}'$, and $w \in \mathcal{H}$ one has
\begin{align*}
     \langle \tau_{g_0} \xi, w \rangle &= \langle \pi_*(\lambda_{g_0} f) v,w \rangle = \int_G f({g_0}^{-1} g) \langle \pi_g v, w \rangle \mathrm{d} m(g) \\
     &= \int_G f(g) \langle \pi_{g_0 g} v,w \rangle \mathrm{d} m(g) = \langle \pi_*(f) v, \pi_{g_0}^* w \rangle \\
     &= \langle \xi, \pi_{g_0}^* w \rangle = \langle \pi_{g_0} \xi, w \rangle.
 \end{align*}
This shows that $\tau_{g_0} = \pi_{g_0}$ on $\mathcal{H}'$ and consequently also on $\mathcal{H}$. Finally, we turn to the case where $\pi_*$ is not cyclic. As shown above we can decompose $\mathcal{H}$ into a direct sum
\begin{equation*}
     \mathcal{H} = \bigoplus_{i = 1}^\infty \mathcal{H}_i,
 \end{equation*}
where $\mathcal{H}_i$ for $i\geq 1$ is such that $\pi_*\vert_{\mathcal{H}_i}$ is cyclic. In order to prove that $\pi$ is strongly continuous at $e$ let $v \in \mathcal{H}$ and $\varepsilon > 0$ be given. We can write
\begin{equation*}
     v = w + v_{i_1} + \cdots + v_{i_n}
 \end{equation*}
where $v_{i_k} \in \mathcal{H}_k$ for $k = 1, \dots, n$ and $\Vert w \Vert < \varepsilon/4$. By the arguments we gave above we can choose neighbourhoods $U_k$ for $k = 1, \dots, n$ such that
\begin{equation*}
     \Vert \pi_g v_{i_k} - v_{i_k} \Vert < \frac{\varepsilon}{2n}
 \end{equation*}
for all $g \in U_k$. Hence for all $g \in \bigcap_{k=1}^n U_k$, one has
\begin{equation*}
     \Vert \pi_g v - v \Vert \leq 2\Vert w \Vert + \Vert \pi_g v_{i_1} - v_{i_1} \Vert + \cdots + \Vert \pi_g v_{i_n} - v_{i_n} \Vert < \varepsilon
 \end{equation*}
which is the desired conclusion and completes the proof.

<< Dying Princess Diana | Main | Sexual sadist Anatoly Slivko >>
Executions → First public hanging of a woman in Iran
The first public hanging took place at dawn on the 19th of March 2001 when 30 year old Fariba Tajiani-Emamqoli and four men were put to death for drug trafficking in Tehran. Everyone of them died a painful and humiliating death, there being no effort made to minimise their suffering or make their execution in any way humane. Pictures of Fariba Tajiani-Emamqoli's hanging and those of male prisoners show that an American style coiled noose made from modern nylon rope is used and that the prisoner is either stood on a box which is pulled from under them or hoisted into the air by a crane jib as happened with Fariba.
The photographs are of Fariba Tajiani Imamgholi, 30, who was hanged on March 19, along with four men, in East Tehran's Khaksefid district. Tajiani was among hundreds of impoverished residents of Khaksefid, arrested on February 22 during a brutal raid by the State Security Forces who razed their homes and subsitence to the ground.
Early morning on March 19, the State Security Forces returned for another show of force. This time, they brought along five former residents of Khaksefid to hang them before the eyes of their neighbors. Fariba was sobbing, begging the judge to forgive her, but to no avail. She was taken up the crane, and moments later, she was no more!
Fariba was one of the first victims of a new wave of terror prevailing Iran and the first woman who was hanged in public, to terrify a weary population growing more disenchanted every day with its oppressive rulers.
Under Iran Revolutionary law young girls who were sentenced to death could not be executed if they were still virgins. Thus they were "married off" to Revolutionary Guards and prison officials in temporary marriages and then raped before their execution, to prevent them going to heaven. The Mullahs believed that these women were ungodly and did not deserve paradise in the next life, and that if they were deprived of their virginity it would ensure that they went to hell. Therefore on the night prior to execution, the condemned girl was injected with a tranquilliser and then raped by her guard(s). After the execution, the religious judge at the prison would write out a marriage certificate and send it to the victim's family along with a box of sweets.

EU may disconnect several more Russian banks from SWIFT
The main hawks in the EU, Poland and Lithuania, have called for even more large Russian banks to be cut off from SWIFT. This is reported by Reuters with reference to high-ranking diplomats of the two EU countries.
In addition, Poland and Lithuania demand to impose sanctions on Russia's nuclear sector and ban even more "Russian propaganda" media in the EU, the agency's interlocutors noted.
Members of the alliance are finding it increasingly difficult to agree to new sanctions, one of them said. However, the EU will soon propose a new "ambitious draft" of sanctions, the diplomat added. According to him, the package of restrictions should be ready by the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine – February 24, 2023.
The EU has disconnected seven systemically important Russian banks from the SWIFT system: Sberbank, VTB, Otkritie, Promsvyazbank, MKB, RSHB and Sovcombank. This made it impossible for them to make transfers abroad to most of the world's banks.
Poland, the Baltic States and Ireland also proposed to disconnect Gazprombank, Alfa-Bank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank from SWIFT. However, neither the eighth nor the ninth packages of sanctions contained these credit institutions.
In a new package sanctions may also be included against Belarus, a Russian ally that helps it circumvent restrictions on trade in goods, the agency's interlocutors said.
Earlier, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced about the upcoming sanctions against Belarus.
A nThe day before, new EU sanctions were announced by Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom, whose country presides over the EU.
"Sanctions are the best EU tool to help Ukraine win this war, which is the ultimate goal of what we are doing," Billström said (quoted by Reuters).
Ukraine has already called for sanctions against the Russian nuclear sector, in particular against the state corporation Rosatom, but this measure was previously blocked by Hungary. Russia has built four nuclear reactors in the country, and Rosatom plans to build two more.
"Do you feel comfortable with such a partner? Who is invading a neighboring country while building your nuclear power plant?" said a senior Ukrainian diplomat who attended the same meeting on Friday.
