Why We Participated in the 1936 Nazi Games: Lessons for Sochi
08/08/2013 23/06/2018 Joseph Pearson
The passage leading to the 1936 Nazi Olympic Grounds in Berlin
I am a historian teaching undergraduates at New York University in Berlin and today I was asked, walking in the warm sunshine of better times in the German capital, whether we can make comparisons between the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia and the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany (which hosted both the Winter and Summer games that year).
It's my professional impulse to get testy when commentators say things like 'history is repeating itself' (which it just can't). But with the rash of anti-gay legislation in Russia, I do think that important parallels between the two cases can be made. Both states, engaged in campaigns of terror against their minorities, are hosts of an event of the greatest international significance: the Olympics. Hate laws threaten even those participating in the Games. Both then and today, a large boycott campaign has resulted. In 1936, the boycott was unsuccessful, and the international community participated in what is considered the most nefarious Games on record. The question is whether we have learned anything. Will the 2014 boycott also fail?
Let me first outline the rise and fall of the boycott in 1935, and then we can see if there are any useful comparisons that can be made to our present predicament.
The 1935 Boycott Campaign
In the 30s, as today, the impetus for a boycott of the Olympics came largely from the United States. The American Federation of Labor, major US newspapers, arts associations, church groups, all urged a boycott of the Games. The climax of the public outcry was a mass rally at Madison Square Garden on the eve of the Winter Games in December 1935. The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) made the final decision. A third of its affiliated members (a half million) signed a petition against sending an American team–– but its executive voted narrowly in favor.
Why did this executive send athletes to Nazi Germany? Historian Richard D. Mandell argues that Avery Brundage, who had been the President of the American Olympic Committee, visited and was dazzled by Germany in 1934. He came back saying the reports of racial persecutions there were not to be believed. His influence was decisive in the final vote when, in the final hours, he assumed the mantle as both head of the AAU and the US Olympic Committee, and agitated for 'anti-Olympic' members of the committee to resign. In this way, American athletes came to participate in Hitler's Olympics. (Mandell, pp. 79 ff.)
But would Jewish athletes be allowed to participate, and in particular on the German team? The answer to this question is a rather striking one: Jewish athletes were in fact actively recruited by the German team: a number of half-Jews were brought in from outside Germany, including Helene Mayer, a fencer, who had been exiled to California. She'd won gold in Amsterdam in 1928 for Germany, and won silver in Berlin, giving the Nazi salute with a swastika on her arm during the awards ceremony. Mayer's participation was part of what we might call the 'Jew-washing' of the German Olympics: anti-Semitic propaganda was withheld from newspapers, 'no Jews' signs taken down, street violence was suppressed. In the end, many left Berlin in '36 with the idea that things were getting better for Jews, not worse.
The President of the Olympic Committee at the time, Count Baillet-Latour was in fact astonished, despite all assurances, by anti-Semitic signs on German roads leading to Olympic events on his way to open the Winter Games. Hitler at first would not alter a 'question of the highest importance in Germany… for a small point of Olympic protocol' (Mandell, p. 93). Only when Baillet-Latour threatened to cancel the Games, were the offensive signs taken down… but just until the Games were over.
Comparisons for Sochi 2014
We might draw four main points from this history:
1. Again, there's the risk of mobilization without results:
The boycott in 1935 failed despite mass mobilization in favor. Today too we have a large wave of support for a boycott: hundreds of thousands of signatures, a torrent of public letters from Dan Savage to Stephen Fry (who wrote Putin 'is making scapegoats of gay people, just as Hitler did Jews'), words of warning by the President on Jay Leno (the host said, 'this sounds like Germany with let's round up the Jews').
We should be wary if this rush of protest leads, as in so many cases, to nothing but plenty of rhetoric and the final cry, 'The Games will go on'. The decision then was ultimately taken by an executive of sports officials, with no regard for its constituents. This could easily happen again, unless these officials are elbowed out by government policy. I don't think it's enough to protest on Facebook, we need to put pressure directly on corporate sponsors and on the decision makers: your national Olympic Committees and the IOC, because they, not you, will make the final decision. The consequence of inaction is, just like in 1936, that the ambitions of trainers, sports officials and athletes to win Olympic Gold will trump humanitarian considerations.
2. Our ignorance or denial of the facts:
The decisions makers in 1935 were not convinced that officially sanctioned persecutions were actually occurring in Germany. Today, I can't imagine members of the decision-making bodies believing that anti-gay violence is not happening in Russia. Not unless they have never heard of the internet. You need only look at the pictures. In this sense, the comparison with 1936 is instructive because decision makers today in fact have fewer excuses not to support a boycott of the Sochi games.
3. The role of the IOC:
We should note that the Olympic Committee was actually willing to cancel the Games in protest in 1936. Today's Olympic Committee is making none of the same threats, but rather stating that gay athletes who 'politicize' the Games with their sexuality could be sent home. The stance of the IOC has clearly deteriorated in comparison.
4. The risk of Jew-Washing/ Pink-Washing:
Germany used the Olympics as a propaganda set-piece to allay fears about the extent of its anti-Semitism by including half-Jewish athletes and by suppressing anti-Semitic demonstrations. Today, Obama says that anti-gay laws have no place at the Olympics. But will Russia, like Germany, simply 'pink-wash' the Olympics for those two weeks of spectacle if the games do 'go on'? I don't think so, it's quite unimaginable that Russia would actively recruit gay athletes at this moment.
In fact, Russia seems less compliant than Germany in suspending its campaign of hatred for the Games. Vitaly Mutko, the Russian sports minister, told the press last week that athletes coming to the 2014 Winter Olympic games in Sochi could be subject to those same "homosexual propaganda laws" passed this summer: gays or those expressing support for gay athletes could be arrested, detained for weeks and deported. Wave a rainbow flag, hold hands with a member of the same sex, and you go to jail.
Some final thoughts…
Russia's laws are not the same as the Nazi Nuremberg laws. The former outlaw the visibility of homosexuality in literature and public life, the latter deprived Jewish-Germans of citizenship. But they are similar in the way that they exclude a long-suffering minority socially and legally. You don't need to be a historian to be suspicious of broad comparisons with the Nazis, used conveniently to counter your opponents, but in this case I think careful parallels are quite justified. We should all be wary of where hate legislation might lead.
Ultimately, this issue should be faced in the spirit of Olympism. You need only to look at the Olympic Charter to see that one of its fundamental principles is:
The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.
At present, we are poised to send athletes into an atmosphere of discrimination. It's not a mistake we should make twice.

Thanks for this great article. I'm sharing it widely.
Likewise. Bravo!
CdnDreamer
Brilliant and timely article. I usually consider any comparisons with Nazi Germany to be over the top, but this one resonates politically and emotionally.
Most interesting, will share
Marius Kolff
Very good article, I am also sharing this widely; thank you for so clearly comparing 1936 (1935) with 2014
Clearly nothing about the olympics is about humanity; the public wants to be nationalistic and voyeuristic by watching the games and the athletes themselves are motivated by their individual desires to achieve…both of which seem to override the greater issue concerning human rights here. I cannot watch these games that have been allowed to perpetuate and propagate hatred!
Robert Flanders
My message to the IOC (International Olympics Committee) MOC (Move or Cancel!)
Peter Haas
I'm curious if Dr Pearson might be able to speak to the possibility of the Russian team being banned by the IOC similarly to how South Africa had been. I have no doubt that it would be a much bigger problem with Russia hosting the games, but it seems the best solution?
Great article! You write at the end:
My question is what is the responsibility of the athletes? They are not forced to go there and if they stay away from the games there will be no games.
Francis Gallant
Exactly what I said before now. What are they being told or threatened if they have questioned?
If we haven't sent our athletes to Germany we would miss amazing stories and pictures of racial equality amidst racial discrimination. Would you reader erase those pictures from the wall of history?
Same pictures of triumph will be left after Sochi. And even if Russian police or IOC will act against pro-gay activism the worldwide coverage it will shed even brighter light on the issue.
Errr…I think your view of things is a little "rose tinted" to say the least! What happened in 1936 was that the Olympic Games in Germany paved the way for Hitler to become a mass murderer. It was a powerful propaganda tool that he fully took advantage of. To say that there were "amazing stories and pictures of racial equality" completely ignores what subsequently happened!!
Such a well-written article, Joe. I so enjoyed reading it. It's helped me move along from my stalled position regarding the 2013 Games.
Since Vancouver has offered to host the Games again, why isn't that being pursued? (not necessarily a question for Joe, but for the general public.)
Bravo, Joe.
Michelle Russinow
I think that everyone should boycott the Sochi Games. This is disgusting. Discrimation should be considered a punishable crime.
The parallels between the past and present are even stronger in some places than I realized and the IOC's gutless homophobic position is doubtless mired in profits which have driven the games since the twin boycotts of Moscow and Los Angeles.
Russia will probably not move on its position, and it is probably too late to move the games. That leaves only cancellation of the games (not likely) or national boycotts of the games.
PatrickR
Vancouver isn't offering to host the games. In fact, they are insisting that they can't. A ciy needs more than 6 months to plan a party like tha. As it stands, they have nowhere to house the participants.
Banning Russians from playing seems more feasable – and would generate outrage from Russia. I am also hopeful that the participants from around the world will ignore/defy the warnings or Russia and the IOC. If here was ever a chance to get into the history books – this will be it!
Rory O'Flaherty
Well written article. I actually saw three points on the Olympic Charter that have been ignored by allowing the Olympics to continue;
*To act against any form of discrimination affecting the Olympic Movement (Too late)
*To encourage and support measures protecting the health of athletes (No LGBT people are protected)
*To oppose any political or commercial abuse of sport and athletes (I'd say the law imposed abuses athletes)
A good article. Be more critical of the I.O.C. though. Think of it as a corporate entity interested only in market development. The Berlin games AND the Beijing games are proof of that. Allowing a dictatorship (of any political persuasion) to host the games is just asking for a display of goose-stepping and media control. The I.O.C. leadersip understand finance. They don't know what "morality" means.
Jaques Rogge your IOC principles are being walked over as you happily stand by & make weak excuses.
What's is the point of having them if they have no meaning? Grow some balls & make a stand. Doing nothing makes you no better than Russia.
Marian Dalton
All this preciousness about the Games – as though the world might end if they were not held. It won't. Perhaps if the games were cancelled, that might send the strongest message of all – that the international community considers human life and human rights far more important than a medal tally.
I keep hearing the example of Jesse Owens cited as a reason participate in these games. But that doesn't make sense. Sure, Owens' success undermined the Nazis' propaganda of Aryan superiority and embarrassed them a little, but there are no parallels to that in this situation.
Putin isn't claiming that straight people are better at sports (or if he is, it isn't an important theme), so an openly gay or gay-friendly athlete winning medals (if it happened) wouldn't say anything to counter the lies they are telling. The only way outside participation in the games at Sochi could turn out badly for Putin is if something horrific happened. That isn't something to hope for.
Paul Pisani
A simply brilliant article, I must say that the involvement of the Afro-American athletes that performed in the Nazi Olympics were not complicit with the U.S political position but to achieve athletic achievement over Nazi discrimination by beating Hitler's Arian super stars was a powerful message, discrimination at any level must be exposed and overcome.
The 2013 games are set, showing that Gay athletes will not be dismissed by a Demonstrative leader or an ignorant population enveloped in its own internal controlled oppression of free speech. I support athletes that take a stand however difficult. If the World simply withdraws from the oppressor nothing will ever change.
Regardless of personal perspectives and opinions it is important to remember the facts involved in this situation. It very clearly states in the I.O.C's own Charter that The Games must uphold and are to represent equality and freedom for all those involved and to promote peace throughout the world. It is, by allowing The Games to continue in Russia, contradicting the very fabric of what the Olympics are all about. It has become a cooperate event; more about money and less about principal. If we do not act against these types of atrocities then we are a passively supporting and funding the actions of tyrants like Putin. FACT.

Great article until the final paragraph: "Russia's laws are not the same as the Nazi Nuremburg laws. The former outlaw the visibility of homosexuality in literature and public life, the latter deprived Jewish-Germans of citizenship and legal protection."
Russia's laws are depriving homosexuals, and their supporters of legal protections. LBGT are being imprisoned for nothing more than being homosexual and beaten on the street without their oppressors facing no legal consequences. No, they don't have to wear a pink triangle, but the similarities are closer than the author states.
Hi Lmaris: Thanks for your comment which led me to tweak my assertion a little. I now write: "Russia's laws are not the same as the Nazi Nuremburg laws. The former outlaw the visibility of homosexuality in literature and public life, the latter deprived Jewish-Germans of citizenship. But they are similar in the way that they exclude a long-suffering minority socially and legally". I originally was too cautious about the comparison. Plenty of critics might say: 'But the Nuremburg laws were much more extreme than the legal reality in Russia today for gay people'. Yes, this is true: gay people have not lost their citizenship and the legal privileges associated with it. But I should clarify that they are still suffering not only from social exclusion, but also from lack of legal protections. Best wishes, Joseph
Excellent post. Will cross-post to my communities. In regards to point 1 above, re: IOC partnerships, spot on. I posted this Huffington Post article to raise awareness that global consumers can and do make a difference.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soul-dancer/will-sochi-2014-olympic-game_b_3734526.html
Every can of CocoCola, every Panasonic device, every McDonalds meal purchased – makes a different. Time to tell global IOC corporate sponsors your thoughts on this issue. Links to global sponsors in the above link.
while I despise homophobia and abhor the political use of homophobia by the Russian president and his lawmakers in the parliament, I question how credible a boycott of the olympics by the US could be since it's only ten years ago that several US states still had anti-homosexual activity legislation on the books, and a lot of them actively discriminate against homosexuals by defining a "traditional marriage" in their respective state constitutions. Germany is only little better, having removed the last piece of federal anti-homosexual activity legislation only in 1994 and still denying homosexuals the right to a full marriage.
Let me emphasize the author's statement: 'I don't think it's enough to protest on Facebook, we need to put pressure directly on corporate sponsors…'
If we would do so, by means of Facebook, G+, sponsors will surely be affected by opinion.
Excellent article, though there is something else to consider when contemplating boycotts for any reason. It is the athletes themselves who would be asked to boycott, which is doomed to fail. Consider why an athlete competes in ANY sport – an athlete only does what he / she does for his / her own personal triumph. They go there to do a PB, or even to try to win. Whilst competing in their country's colours, the sole purpose for an athlete to compete is PURELY self-motivated, for their own personal growth. It is not like the performing or dramatic arts, where the audience is the most important variable. The whole philosophy "the show must go on" applies to performers putting their own needs last, and giving an audience their all. No athlete stands at the blocks and puts themselves last, to give the spectators a dream finish. If that we're the case, all swimmers against Eric the Eel in the pool would have thrown the race to give the spectators there & at home a fairy tale.
As such, to ask athletes to boycott the Olympics in support of such a humanitarian issue will fail, as such a boycott does not fit into most athletes' personality profiles & ambitions for their own personal athletic growth.


The Walla Walla District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, along with volunteers from Whitman College, Walla Walla University, and Walla Walla Community College plant 13 large trees throughout Rooks Park, as well as move a tree that is too close to the levee, on Apr. 17, 2016. The earth day planting event was a service-day partnership with the Tri-College organization.
Mill Creek Dam and Bennington Lake is a flood risk management project that uses an off-stream storage reservoir (Bennington Lake) to store water during a flash flood event.
For up to date water levels visit USGS Current Conditions.
In the early 1900s, public concern over the frequent flooding of Walla Walla prompted Virgil B. Bennington, then President of the Walla Walla Chamber of Commerce, to lobby the U.S. Congress for flood protection. Development of Mill Creek Dam system was authorized in the 1938 Flood Control Act. The improved Mill Creek channel and off-stream storage reservoir were completed in 1942. In 1992 the reservoir was officially named Virgil B. Bennington Lake.
Bennington Lake provides a place for people to get outdoors without having to get out of town. In the spring, water is diverted from Mill Creek to Bennington Lake once the risk of flooding is over. The lake is also stocked in the spring with rainbow trout by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Boating on the lake is limited to paddling, rowing, wind power, or vessels with electric motors. ***No gas engines are allowed on the water at any time. This policy protects the lake from unwanted pollutants associated with gasoline-operated motors and provides maximum space for vessels compatible with the lake's small size.
Picnic tables, shelters and restrooms are available at the lake parking lot. Park benches and shelters along the trails provide resting areas to enjoy views of the lake and the Blue Mountains. There is also a life jacket loaner board to help keep everyone safe on the water.
Hunting is permitted around Bennington Lake in the areas designated on the map.
The Bennington Lake area is open year-round 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 pm.
Rooks Park offers visitors a wide variety of recreational opportunities. The 18 acre park includes a reservable picnic shelter, sand volleyball court, playground, horseshoe pit, group fire rings, picnic sites with tables, BBQ grills and accessible restrooms. Large open areas allow for football and soccer games, while small secluded areas provide a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors. The park is open from 7:00 am until posted closure hours, sunset. The entrance is open year-round to walk-in traffic, but seasonally closed to vehicles from October 15 to April 1 with reduced amenities.

Thank you for help!

A: The instruction:
<xsl:for-each select="8 to 17">

puts you in the context of the sequence of integers 8 to 17. That means you're no longer in the context of the input XML document and cannot refer to its nodes directly.
Define a variable that binds to the input XML document or part of it and use it to refer to its nodes - for example:
<xsl:variable name="xml" select="/" />
...
<xsl:for-each select="1 to 7">
...
<xsl:for-each select="$xml/document/planning/meeting[@day = current()]">

P.S. Instead of:
<xsl:for-each select="$xml/document/planning/meeting[@day = current()]">

consider defining a key as:
<xsl:key name="meeting-by-date" match="meeting" use="@day" />

then use it as:
<xsl:for-each select="key('meeting-by-date', ., $xml)">

Belgrade to Host 80 Heads of Parliament at IPU Assembly, 13 – 17 October
The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia will host the 141st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Belgrade, from 13 to 17 October, to be attended by delegations from 150 countries, as well as 80 parliament speakers, one of the IPU's records.
The Serbian capital will host more than 2000 parliamentarians and delegates from around the world, among them 60 deputy speakers and UN and civil society partners.
The central theme of the Assembly, to be held in Sava Centre, is Strengthening international law: Parliamentary roles and mechanisms, and the contribution of regional cooperation, and the session will end with the adoption of the Belgrade Declaration. The parliamentarians, of whom 30% are women and 17% young MPs, will be discussing gender equality, empowering youth, human rights of parliamentarians and universal health coverage.
The Belgrade Assembly also marks the 130th anniversary of the oldest and biggest international parliamentary organization, today boasting 179 national member parliaments and 12 regional parliamentary bodies.
The 141st Assembly will also mark a number of jubilees: 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, when the regional UNICEF ambassador will also be promoted, 70th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions and the 40th anniversary of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
The Assembly launching ceremony in Sava Centre on Sunday, 13 October at 7.30 pm will be broadcast live by RTS, with the general debate starting on Monday, 14 October, when Serbian Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic will be elected 141st IPU Assembly Chair.
The IPU Belgrade Assembly will facilitate dozens of parliamentary bilateral meetings to encourage greater regional cooperation and understanding between its member parliaments. Serbian Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic will also have a series of bilateral meetings with the attending parliament speakers.
The Serbian Assembly Speaker will have a press conference with IPU President Gabriela Cuevas Barron and IPU Secretary-General Martin Chungong before the launching ceremony on 13 October at 1 pm and on the last day of the Assembly, 17 October, at 1 pm, in the press centre in Sava Centre.
Belgrade will have the honour to host an IPU session full 56 years after it had hosted the 52nd Assembly in 1963. This is also the first IPU Assembly held in a European country outside of Geneva in 20 years, seeing how the last one was in Germany in 1999.
The Governing Council of the Inter-Parliamentary Union confirmed Serbia as the host of the 141st Assembly on 17 October 2018 in Geneva, which is a big coup for parliamentary diplomacy and testament to the active work of the Serbian parliamentary delegation to IPU, headed by National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic.
Serbia was one of the first members of the IPU, joining in 1891, shortly after the organization was founded in 1889.

Governments & Multilateral Donors
Crisis Group enjoys strong relationships with government and multilateral donors, whose long-term funding is critical to our organisation's effectiveness. For them, Crisis Group fills a vital niche as diplomats' access to key conflict actors is increasingly hindered by security concerns and political obstacles. Senior officials tell Crisis Group that our reports are indispensable, with a unique emphasis on the political foundations of international peace and security.
In June 2010, the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) added Crisis Group to its Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list, recognising that our actions to prevent or resolve conflict help poorer countries' development performance. All contributions to Crisis Group can be reported as Official Development Assistance (ODA), thus helping donor governments meet their ODA target.

Q: How can I get the folder ID of a folder in my drive using google script? For a project I am working on I created a trigger to run my makeCopy() function at the beginning of every year. The goal is to make a copy of a spreadsheet and save it in a folder already created in my drive. In this function I also create a new folder for the new year.
function makeCopy(){

  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var d = new Date();
  var year = d.getYear();
  var FolderName = "Time Off Request - " + year;

  DriveApp.createFolder(FolderName);

  year = year - 1;
  var FileName = "Copy of Time Off Request - " + year;
  Logger.log(FolderName);
  FolderName = "Time Off Request - " + year;
  var FolderID = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(FolderName).next().getId();
  Logger.log(FolderID);

  var destFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(FolderID);
  Logger.log(destFolder);

  DriveApp.getFileById(sheet.getId()).makeCopy(FileName, destFolder);

}

This code actually ran and worked the first time. However, every time I try to test it again I get the error, "Cannot retrieve the next object: iterator has reached the end. " On the line where I try to get my folder ID. How can I fix this error and get the folder ID of the folder in my drive so I can make a copy of the spreadsheet to that folder.

A: You get that specific error, Cannot retrieve the next object: iterator has reached the end., because the search for that folder name yielded an empty result set.
If you alter your program structure to only use next() if the iterator's hasNext() method returns true, you will not get that error anymore. However, such a change will not make your search term suddenly find results. It does, however, allow for making repeated attempts with different search queries.
I suggest renaming your variables to be expressive of their intent:
// Copy the current file into last year's folder, and create this year's folder.
function makeCopy() {
  var now = new Date();
  var thisYear = now.getYear();
  var lastYear = thisYear - 1;

  var query = "Time Off Request - " + lastYear;
  var folderIterator = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(query);
  // Instead of throwing an error, you could modify this to be a while loop
  // that requests a search term from the user - see Browser/UI and inputBox
  // and updates folderIterator. If you do that, you'll want to add guards

What do your New Year Dreams look like and how do they make you feel?
Posted byAlec Hurley	 December 12, 2017 December 25, 2017 Leave a comment on What do your New Year Dreams look like and how do they make you feel?
I know its the season of festivities and holidays but it is also the time to reflect back on the past year. Taking note of the accomplishments along with the failures. Its through our failures where we can switch our view and re-enter with a fresh approach, new vision and orientation.
Its easy for me to get caught up in the distress of life and forget about the huge shifts I have made over the past year, with the amount of challenges we all face today it's so powerful to have a practice to come back to, to help ground, reconnect and focus on the good that we see in the world and the good we are co-creating.
Reflecting back on 2017 I see how much momentum I have created in the direction of offering my services in new unique ways. I came to realize how much I enjoy dancing and ecstatic movements as a way to connect to my body. I embraced the practice of pushing my own boundaries and how riding the edges of my comfort zones has helped me step into the new identity I am becoming more vulnerably and confidently. I have a sense now of what that looks like even though I know its a constant evolution with no end state.
How deeply do I want to Thrive in 2018?

The 13-year-old Midlander became a bar mitzvah last weekend.
"It was a lot more fun than I expected," he said. "I feel like it's a major chapter in my life."
It will be five years before Jeffrey Rehberg can vote; three years before he can drive - but in Judaism, he is an adult.
Ina Zebrak, president of Temple Beth El, taught him Hebrew, necessary to have a bar mitzvah.
"He covered seven years of study in two years," she said.
Rehberg, a ninth grader at H.H. Dow High School, said when his Hebrew studies began he worked a couple of times a week with Zebrak, but recently met with or phoned her every day.
Rehberg wasn't considering a bar mitzvah for himself, but a couple of years ago, he attended his cousin's ceremony in California. Then he thought differently of the event.
"I could tell even though it was a religious and serious service, my cousin was still having fun," he said.
Rehberg also thought about the larger meaning of the ceremony. "It would help keep me active as a Jew," he said.
His mother, Cherie, added, "It's a very proud day for a parent."
During the Aug. 18 Sabbath service, Rehberg led much of the worship, with the involvement of his family and Rabbi Jay TelRav.
Then the following morning, the ceremony to mark Rehberg's adulthood in the Jewish community began.
He read from the Torah, a handwritten scroll of Scripture, given by God to Moses. Judaism follows a calendar that designates each day's readings. So Jews around the world were listening to, or reading, the portion of the Torah that Rehberg was reading for his bar mitzvah.
"It just feels like I'm part of something greater than our community," he said. "The entire world is all together on the same page on the same day."
Learning to read Hebrew from a study book and reading aloud from the Torah are two different things, Rehberg's mother explained. The Torah is handwritten, so the script is more difficult to see, plus the Torah is written without vowels. But she was confident her son would do well.
"He has been so well prepared and worked so long with Ina that when the day finally came, I knew he could do it," she said.
In addition to his studies, Rehberg performed a mitzvah project. "Mitzvah" means commandment, but also means good deed. A mitzvah project must be something done willingly to show compassion for others. Rehberg has volunteered at a senior services center once a week for more than six months.
"I learned … it doesn't have to be about you," Rehberg said.
After the religious ceremony, Rehberg was honored during a party which family and friends from throughout the country attended. His parents, Mike and Cherie Rehberg, also are planning a family trip to Israel to celebrate.
What exactly is a bar mitzvah?
A bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah is a religious ceremony to mark a person's adulthood in the Jewish community.
"Bar" means "son" in Aramaic and "bat" is "daughter" in Aramaic and Hebrew. "Mitzvah" means "commandment" in Hebrew. Bar or bat mitzvah means son or daughter of the commandments.
Until relatively recently, only boys could have a bar mitzvah. But in the 1920s, girls began to be included in this coming-of-age rite. Boys must be at least 13, and girls, 12.
Becoming a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah does not mean a person is finished learning about Judaism, nor does it mean he or she was not a Jew before the ceremony. Instead, this rite signifies that a person is an adult and so may lead religious services and is expected to uphold the commandments.
The proper thing to say at a boy's bar mitzvah or a girl's bat mitzvah? Mazel tov, of course!

Woke up with a aching tooth and no dental insurance. Called Rethink My Healthcare and they set me up with a dentist about a mile down the road. I paid $600 for a root canal, and noticed other were paying about $900. Rethink My Healthcare saved me a car payment. Not bad.
Worst day ever. Flew to Disney and by the time we landed my son was howling. His ear was killing him. We came from Ohio and the hotel said we wouldn't be able to see a doctor till the next day. I called Rethink My Healthcare and they put me on with a Doctor right away. He prescribed some ear drops and some antibiotics and I got them at a CVS down the road. The next day we were at Disney and he was smiling. This was a vacation saver.
My daughter woke up with a fever and a stuffy nose. I remembered Rethink My Healthcare and decided to give them a call first. The doctor who spoke to me asked about her symptoms and said " Let's save you a trip". He called in a prescription and I got the medicine a couple of hours later. It was so easy and I didn't have to take my daughter into the car. Plus there was no copay. Thanks Rethink My Healthcare, and Doctor Paul…you saved my day.

Teacher Writes Diss Track Dissing Jake Paul's Diss Track Dissing Teachers
Photo: m.a. double via YouTube
"Why don't you tell us some shit that we're actually gonna use in our real lives," Jake Paul yells at a teacher in the opening of his latest, ugh, diss track. "My Teachers" is about exactly what you'd think. It's a several-minutes-long rant-rap from Paul all about how his teachers never thought he'd amount to much and how he's gone on to become wealthy and successful even without their support. Lil Tay has a cameo appearance. You really will be fine if you don't watch it.
However, we do recommend that you watch this excellent, if slightly lame, parody from a teacher in Texas who was not amused by Paul's video. "But I'm here like every day bro, so how you gonna diss me with that 'Disney Channel flow,'" the teacher, who goes by @madouble on Twitter, raps in his video. In case this isn't funny to you, those lines are cribbed from another of Paul's songs, the seminal "It's Everyday, Bro." The track is shorter than Paul's but significantly more endearing. "Hey, I make about 35K a year, son!" Plus, the last time somebody made a diss track responding to a diss track from Paul — RiceGum and Alyssa Violet's "It's EveryNight Sis" — made it to the Billboard Hot 100 list last fall.
Someone get this guy a record deal.

Starfleet Logo
Starfleet Logo PNG
Flying up to the stars is the Starfleet logo. Intergalactic travel, uniting the far corners of the universe – this is the organization's main mission, which the emblem conveys. Symbols warn – the enterprise is dangerous but of great importance.
Starfleet: Brand overview
Founded: 2112 – 2136
Founder: United Federation of Planets
San Francisco, California, United Earth
Starfleet is a mythical organization from the movie Star Trek. It is administered by the United Federation of Planets, which deals with deep space exploration, diplomatic contacts, peacekeeping, defense, and scientific research. Even though the service is part of the Federation, it predates it: according to the legend from the television series Star Trek: Enterprise, Starfleet was an earthly project. Therefore, most of the team (head office and people) are on Earth. The general headquarters is located in San Francisco, the prototype of which was a real city with the same name. The fictitious organization consists of several divisions: a diplomatic mission, a research department, and the armed forces. It also has an academy, technical corps, command, analytics service, medical section, and tactical service.
Star Trek: Enterprise episodes say that the fictional community began work between 2112 and 2136. Then it funded the research of scientists Z. Cochrane and H. Archer. The result of cooperation was the successful launch of the Warp-3 spacecraft in the 40s of the 22nd century.
In a fictional company, earthlings serve as representatives of other races. And not all of them are citizens of the Federation. Starfleet is loyal to this issue and accepts those who wish to serve and meet professional requirements. For non-citizens, a recommendation from any active officer is sufficient. Therefore, among its members are Bajorans, Andorians, Klingons, Trills, Bolians, Betazoids, Ferengi, and many others.
They are engaged in scientific developments, carry out diplomatic missions, conduct colonization, respond to distress signals, transport citizens from planet to planet, and protect against external threats. Later, a military function was added to them. The militarization of Starfleet began after contact with an aggressive and hostile race.
All organization attributes, stripes, chevrons, and other markings, are decorated with a single emblem. It reflects the concept of service and is the material embodiment of its noble goals. Interestingly, this logo is so popular in the real world that it was based on the symbol of the Space Force, the active division of the US Armed Forces. But the management and developers deny this fact, although the similarity between them is clear in form, elements, and structure.
The Starfleet identity consists of a round symbol, the classic earthling rondel, which is most often used in heraldry. A triangular element with sharp ends and a figured cutout is in the middle. Although it resembles a boomerang or a rocket directed upwards, it follows the contours of the Martian dunes – they are identical. The lower cut divides the structure into two uneven halves: the left leg is wider than the right. A gap in the form of a five-pointed star with an elongated upper beam is carved in the center. A fragment of the Universe with white dots is visible through it – placers of planets, other worlds, and galaxies.
The sign is surrounded by an orbit – a tapering line of light red. It starts behind the central figure and ends at a large dot that separates the inscriptions on a wide strip. At the top is the phrase "Starfleet Command"; at the bottom, it says "United Federation of Planets." The letters are capital, printed, with serifs. Like the central one, the outer circle has a bypass ring of the same color. The difference between them is only in thickness: the first is almost twice as wide as the second. The background for text and graphic elements is the dark blue color of deep space.
Although the Star Trek prequels use a group of individual typefaces of the same name, the fictitious organization's emblem uses a genuine earth font. It is identical to that used in the American organization Space Force symbols. These are classic printed letters of medium thickness with miniature sharp-shaped serifs.
The logo's color palette reflects the basic shades of outer space: dark blue, white, red. The sign also contains a gray gradient spectrum – from shiny chrome to saturated graphite.

South Carolina Professor Elected Board of Trustee Member for the American College of Sports Medicine
Dr. Sara Wilcox, professor of exercise science and director of the USC Prevention Research Center in the University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health, has been elected to serve as a Board of Trustee member for the American College of Sports Medicine based on a vote from among the organization's more than 50,000 members. Dr. Wilcox will serve as one of two Trustees in Education & Allied Health, one of four interest areas represented on the 11-person leadership team.

As a member of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Wilcox will assist the American College of Sports Medicine in its continual development of a vision and the establishment of goals to achieve this vision. She will work with various committees within the American College of Sports Medicine to help them accomplish their goals.
"ACSM is a very influential organization for researchers, educators, practitioners, and students in the areas of exercise science and sports medicine, and this diversity is particularly appealing to me," says Dr. Wilcox, who attended her first meeting in 1999 and was elected as a Fellow in 2006. "I'm looking forward to having an even greater voice and making a contribution to the organization, and I am especially interested in professional development and leadership training opportunities for students, postdocs, and junior faculty."
After earning bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in psychology, Dr. Wilcox began using her understanding of human thought and behavior to encourage healthy eating and physical activity when she was a postdoctoral fellow in cardiovascular disease epidemiology and prevention at Stanford University. Since then, she has focused her work on factors that influence physical activity by understanding personal, social and environmental elements in generally understudied populations (e.g., African Americans, women, older adults).
Since joining the Arnold School in 1999, Dr. Wilcox has secured more than $20 million in grant funding as a principal and co-principal investigator. Throughout her career, she has published over 200 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters and mentored numerous students and faculty members.
In addition to her contributions to the American College of Sports Medicine, Dr. Wilcox has held professional roles, such as president of the Delta Omega public health honor society and standing reviewer for a National Institutes of Health study section. She has also served as consulting editor for Health Psychology, associate editor for the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, and editorial board member for both Psychology and Aging and the Journal of Physical Activity and Health.
Her interest in partnering with faith-based programs to improve public health led to her involvement in a committee tasked with adding the faith sector to the National Physical Activity Health Plan. Locally, Dr. Wilcox is on the leadership team and evaluation committee for the South Carolina State Obesity Plan.

Gay Expats Experience Hardships, and Joys, of Russia
By	Yekaterina Kravtsova
Demonstrators holding signs protesting Russia's new anti-gay law at a rally in central London on August 10.	Luke MacGregor
John, a 31-year-old American lawyer, said that when his family and friends first found out he was coming to live in Russia, they immediately assumed that it would be scary as a gay man in such a conservative country.
With the recent passage of the law banning so-called "propaganda" of gay relations among minors — legislation criticized by many as a tool to prohibit gay pride parades or any other public advocacy of LGBT rights — concern for his well-being has become more acute.
"With this aspect attracting so much hostility, I think people [back home] are genuinely worried about my safety," John said.
The reality, John and other current and former gay expatriates said, is not as bad as many of their families perceive it to be, though there are real dangers.
The outcry in the West over the new law puts gay expats in a unique position, being forced to experience firsthand the sometimes harsh treatment of gays in Russia while their families fret about them back home and remind them that they can always return to a friendlier environment.
Coming from countries where members of the LGBT community are gradually gaining more rights and social acceptance, Western expats living in Russia can feel particularly uncomfortable by comparison. But most said Russian friends and acquaintances have embraced them, and none of the five expats interviewed by The Moscow Times had experienced violence themselves.
That safety has come in part from anonymity.
"I find it funny when people say it's not safe to be a gay person in Russia," said John, who has lived in Russia for four years.
"It's perfectly safe, because no one would ever assume you could be gay. Especially your friends, people who like you — they would never think that about you," he said, adding that even his flatmate of several years did not know about his sexual orientation and would likely be genuinely surprised if he found out.
The most dangerous consequence of the anti-gay law, the expats said, was a reinforcement of this habit of hiding one's sexuality, a habit they said could make LGBT people in Russia an almost completely invisible minority.
The expats said coming out to people they knew was one of the most difficult experiences for them in Russia, since in the U.S. and such announcements were long in the past for them or were unnecessary, with many people able to differentiate a gay person from a straight one by the way they behave or dress.
"Russia is palpably a more conservative country, and I was very conscious that being gay was not something I wished my colleagues, especially my Russian colleagues, to discover," said Tom, 32, a British journalist who lived in Russia for almost six years before returning to Britain in December.
"It was not something I had bothered hiding in Britain, where I can discuss boyfriends and related issues in the office," Tom said by email.
Tom said it was difficult to tell Russian friends about being gay and that he had to be very cautious about whom to tell, but that most people surprised him with their tolerance.
All the expats interviewed for this story asked that their last names not be used because they could encounter problems with their employers for speaking with the press.
Sitting in a cafe in central Moscow, John, the lawyer, said there was no reason for foreigners to be so closed, since he believed many Russians viewed their homosexuality as "another weird thing that people from Western countries can do." He also said no Russian had ever stopped being friends with him after he told them he was gay.
Sitting beside John, his friend Joseph, 32, an American who does market research in Russia, said people were sometimes shocked to find out he was gay.
"A female colleague once asked me if I was dating anyone, and I said I was, and she asked what her name was," Joseph said. "I replied 'Sergei,' and I think she was astonished. She said she needed to sit down for a while after my confession."
Heather, a 48-year-old American who teaches English in Russia, said in a phone interview that there were people she would never tell she was a lesbian. For example, the parents of some of her students, she believes, would react only negatively.
She said she has discussed the issue of gay rights with her students and was surprised by the large gaps in their knowledge about it, with teenagers tending to have a very negative association with homosexuality, even though many of them did not know about the law banning gay "propaganda."
Most of them said they thought being gay was strange and negative, said Heather, who believes many of them have been taught to believe that by their parents and the school system.
According to opinion polls, negative attitudes toward gay people are on the rise in Russia. Results of a Levada Center survey released in May showed that one-third of Russians considered gays to be mentally defective, while only 12 percent of people said homosexuality had an equal right to exist with heterosexuality.
The number of people who want gays to have limited rights also rose from 40 percent last year to 47 percent this year, with 73 percent of people saying the state must suppress any public display of homosexuality.
Tom said he thought that to some extent, Russians in fact just do not care about gay issues. He noted that they had become more political over the years, "hijacked by lobbyists, the church and the government, and this has brought it more to the fore."
New Dangers?
In July, four Dutch tourists were detained for shooting a documentary on gay rights in Russia. The Federal Migration Service banned them from coming to Russia for three years, saying they violated the law by participating in the Youth Human Rights Camp in the Murmansk region, where they interviewed a 17-year-old boy about gay relationships.
That was the first time the law was applied to foreigners, leading to fears that tourists in Russia could be detained for actions that they may not consider to be "gay propaganda" in their own country.
But the expats said there was no reason to be afraid of the law itself, but rather of the phenomena it was leading to such as intolerance and violence toward gays.
Joseph said his family's reaction to the new law was immediate, with his apprehensive parents sending messages asking him to explain the situation in Russia and pleading him to come back to the U.S.
All the expats agreed that people abroad were not aware that there were no gay rights in Russia to begin with and that the law did not change the situation significantly.
"Many people abroad think that this problem has just appeared — they don't understand that people were already in the closet," John said. "So for almost all gay people, the situation is not different in any way. The only thing that is different for me is that it is the topic on people's lips now."
Joseph, who has lived in Russia for nine years, said the main thing that's changed since he first arrived in the country in terms of gay issues is an increased awareness about what homosexuality is.
"No one talked about it then, and I feel like this time the concept is a bit more familiar to younger people," Joseph said. "I think almost all young people in Moscow know someone who's gay."
"With this awareness more hostility has appeared, though. I think it was there before, but now it's like a movement against gay people."
Reports of attacks at gay clubs are not uncommon in Russia. Tom said the greatest risk he ever exposed himself to was going to his favorite gay club, where a group of thugs could break in and beat people up at any moment, despite strict security.
Last year, a group of young people attacked a club called Seven Three Days during a "coming out" party, and several gay club-goers were severely injured.
Heather said she had friends who were in the club that night and that the incident made her realize she could encounter violence at any time.
Clubs are one of the most common places for gay people to meet each other in Moscow, though, and since there are not many gay clubs in Moscow, usually people gather at one place, according to John. "In a city of more than 10 million people there should be a huge scene, even if it was underground, but the city basically sustains only one gay club at a time," he said.
In Britain, Tom said people assumed that daily life for gay people in Russia was grim, adding that Western media had made it seem worse than it was.
Referring to recent reports by major world newspapers saying gay people in Russia could be arrested on the street, John said he understood why people were confused.
"The law is so vague, even Russian people can't say what it means or what it entails," he said. "That's what upset me, because the reality is bad enough, the reality is something to get upset about, you don't need to make it worse than it is."
James, a 30-year-old British interpreter who lived in Moscow for a year and still works with some Russian companies, said he believed it was bad enough for gays in Russia that he agreed with the idea of boycotting the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Various gay rights groups have called for a boycott of the Sochi Games because of the anti-gay law, although the idea does not appear to be making traction within Western governments.
"Unfortunately, Russia is becoming a very dangerous place," said James, who asked that his real first name not be used.
Changes to Come
Some of the expats said the fact that Russians and the international community were talking about the issue could help gays win rights faster here.
"It is definitely a more oppressive environment here, but it's probably something like what it was in the U.S. 40 years ago," said John, referring to the U.S. in the 1970s, when much of American society held more negative attitudes toward gay people, many of whom remained in the closet.
"There were a few people then who were beginning to fight for gay rights, and I think that's what it's like in Russia right now. I think it's beginning to become normal. Granted, that process takes a long time, but I do see something hopeful," John said.
The reaction should not be "loud and proud," agreed all the people interviewed, noting that parades may not be a logical first step.
"They misunderstand the idea of gay pride parades," Joseph said. "Before organizing a parade, you must be proud."
Although there is no law specifically banning gay rights demonstrations in Moscow, authorities have never approved a gay pride parade in the city, and small gay rallies are usually interrupted by Orthodox activists who attack the participants.
Heather said she believed the Sochi Olympics could become the perfect platform for raising awareness about the issue worldwide and could change the state of the things immediately by having gay and straight people celebrating their victories together.
Both John and Joseph said they thought it would take Russia at least 15 years to go through the changes Western nations have gone through in granting certain rights to gay people.
John grew up in a small town in Michigan, and during his childhood people did not accept gays there, sometimes treating them with open hostility.
"I see the progress in my native town and those people who I would never have expected to accept it started to do that so I can't sit here and say Krasnoyarsk will never accept gay people," he said.
They both said they envisioned eventually moving back to the U.S., however.
"I love Russia, but when I think about my future, I understand it will be rather difficult to live a normal life here if you compare to how it could be in major Western cities," Joseph said.

For twenty years, Pizza Paradiso Mediterranean Grill has been serving Mediterranean comfort food on Maui's West Side. Just north of Lahaina and Ka'anapali in the Honokowai Marketplace, the restaurant has been steadily serving up Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern food, flavors that are hard to find on Maui.
To celebrate their two decades of business, the locally owned restaurant is putting on a fundraiser in November. From the first to the 20th of the month, customers will get a 10 percent discount on orders over $15. Chef Paris Nabavi will match 10 percent of the sales for donation. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward Habitat for Humanity Maui's Hurricane Lane recovery efforts and the victims of the fire in Lahaina who lost their homes.
Growing from the seeds of his own home garden, Chef Nabavi began working with schools and community groups to foster gardens on school campuses as a learning and teaching platform. Now, working with other organizations, he supplies seeds to over 40 schools on Maui. He cares deeply about educating Maui's children to to use healthy food choices as a way to empower them. He puts his personal values alongside his values as a business owner, and also promotes the use of local foods in his restaurants.
More recently, the family created a nonprofit, the Nabavi Legacy Fund, with a mission to "nourish the bodies and minds of Maui's children." Their interest lies in educating students to make healthy, sustainable food choices, and partner with nonprofits with the same mission. So far, their list of beneficiaries includes Grow Some Good, Imua Family Services, and the Maui Food Innovation Center, among others.
Beyond their good deeds, their food is a service in itself. The thin-crust pizza with fresh variety of toppings is very popular at the restaurant, and they offer gluten-free crust for those who want it. The restaurant also has other ethnic influences, based on the travels and training of Chef Nabavi, and serves gyros and kebabs, hummus and pitas, falafel, and sandwiches. For desert, there is the sought-after Dole whip and authentic gelato.
Chef Nabavi, who originated in Tehran, Iran and went to the French Culinary School in London, has lived and worked in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. In his almost 30 years as a Maui resident, he has worked as the Director of Food and Beverage at the Kapalua Bay Hotel before beginning his life and an entrepreneur and restaurateur.

After that I rename the classes.jar to jar file name I want. A bit tedious
