The Spanish Princess Recap: Episode 8
By Kendra on June 25, 2019 in Sixteenth Century
It's Festivus, aka, The Spanish Princess (2019), Starz' new adaptation of a Philippa Fucking Gregory book about Catherine of Aragon, has premiered! Strap in for all sorts of historical wtf-ery and some deeply wackjob costuming by Phoebe de Gaye in the last of many recaps. Frock Flicks is a family: if I have to suffer, you have to suffer with me.
We did it! It's the finale! We survived! Until season 2.
Henry VII dies while in the bathtub, hanging with his mom. He coughs a little bit, puts a handkerchief over his mouth, and suddenly is coughing blood and dies. Poof! Margaret Beaufort is immediately trying to cover it up until Prince-now-King Henry VIII can be brought to court. She's running around crazily.
She was wearing a gable hood, but when Henry dies, she loses that and spends the rest of the episode in a velvet cap (which was, presumably, under the hood).
Oviedo figures out the king has died, despite nothing having been announced, and warns Lina…
*fans self*
Who warns Catherine.
I think this is the undergown she briefly wears in the last episode, now with a lose gown over it?
"Maggie" Pole was arrested in the raid, she's in the Tower with her kids. Catherine visits her and vows to get her released.
Margaret Beaufort is suddenly freaking the fuck out about the taxes her government was raising, saying they're illegal and they need to find someone to take the fall. Future Cardinal Wolsey has popped up here and there amongst the king's advisors.
Catherine knows Henry has been summoned, and apparently there's only one road into London from the north of the city, so she goes and waits for Henry to ride along. When he does, she intercepts him and tells him that his father has died. The two have a moment — Catherine tells him she loves him, and asks what her fate will be. He tells her they're royals and they make their own destiny, so of course she will be his queen.
Margaret Beaufort has decided that Dudley (grandfather? to the future Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who will be Queen Elizabeth I's love) should take the fall for these illegal taxes. She's worried the now King Henry VIII will find out about the taxes and be pissed. She has Dudley seized and immediately beheaded without a trial. The executioner botches the beheading, giving Dudley time to tell them all off while spurting blood.
Henry VII is laid out in the chapel, Henry VIII goes to the funeral mass. Midway through, there's a confrontation with Margaret Beaufort about the taxes and Dudley having been executed without trial.
Princess Mary, looking halfway decent, along with the various extras as well. Why can't everyone look this good?
Margaret Beaufort goes to crazytown, running around like a madwoman. She figures out that Oviedo must have warned Catherine, and has him arrested for supposedly stealing a book she gave him. Oviedo is arrested, Lina is distraught, and they get married asap in a combined Catholic/Muslim ceremony (one of O's fellow soldiers officiates for the Muslim portion). Lina tries to save Oviedo's life, finally admitting to Margaret Beaufort that Catherine and Arthur's marriage was consummated. Then the soldiers immediately hang Oviedo; he's dangling from the rope when Catherine and Henry burst in and have him cut down, barely saving his life.
At some point Margaret changes into this loose gown.
Margaret Beaufort crazily tells Henry that Lina has admitted Catherine and Arthur's marriage was consummated, but Henry tells her to bring him Lina and have her swear again that this happened.
Back in the windmill dress and clomping around ridiculously.
Catherine is being dressed for her wedding.
Close up shots of the wedding dress.
Don't get too excited, her hair is down in back. I have questions about the pearled bands on her chest, which are at a weird angle, and look more like rhinestones than pearls from far away.
Catherine's wedding dress is actually quite pretty, if I ignore the sleeves, and the weird rope ties on the sides.
"Maggie" Pole is at court, dressed up all fancy (for the wedding?). She hears Margaret Beaufort calling sickly, and goes to her room to find her unattended. Margaret is seeing visions of the Princes in the Tower, which, according to Philippa Fucking Gregory/The White Princess, she had murdered. "Maggie" basically tells her she's a horrible person.
Some kind of roll/snood combo?
I don't hate the outfit, although why she's sticking with the higher waist style is unclear.
Catherine receives a letter from her father, who wants her to know what kind of man she's marrying: her sister Joanna told him that she and Henry had sex while she was visiting. AS THOUGH JOANNA WOULD TELL FERDINAND SUCH A THING, AS THOUGH FERDINAND WOULD CARE, AS THOUGH FERDINAND WOULD WRITE HIS DAUGHTER A SNOTTY "JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF MAN YOU'RE MARRYING" LETTER. Ahem. Catherine goes to confront Henry, who is praying the chapel. He denies shagging Joanna, all is resolved, until he says, with a knowing look, "Of course, you didn't have sex with Arthur, right?" And Catherine says, "Right," all with a look on her face of "what have I gotten myself into."
More wedding gown: that damask is NOT a 16th c. pattern (maybe art nouveau?), and the side ties annoy me (plus the overly poofy chemise), but otherwise, I do think it's pretty.
Henry goes easter colors for his wedding outfit? I'm mostly good with it, but my eye was immediately drawn to the lacing gap at the waist.
And, we did it! We survived! What travesties await in season 2? Do you want recaps?

Sam Marchiony June 25th, 2019
I facepalmed so hard when I saw them hanging Oviedo. Like… did no one stop and say, hey, maybe we shouldn't show a black man being HANGED in 2019.
Anyway, yeah, the Dudley executed was Robert Dudley's grandfather Edmund, which did actually happen. But I refuse to give them credit when their main premise (Catherine sleeping with Arthur) means Henry was RIGHT during The Great Matter, and yet they still claim this to be a feminist show!
Terézia Marková June 25th, 2019
Yes, the whole thing with Dudley is historically accurate… Except for that thing where Margaret Beaufort got him executed, ASAP (in the real world, he was executed like a year after being imprisoned), and without trial at that. They are really looking for every excuse to demonize that poor woman, aren't they?!
I mean, they make this entire series seem like it happened over the course of a year, it's kind of ridiculous. And she's also the last character who's been there from the beginning, unless you count "Maggie" who was a baby in The White Queen. What will we do without a Margaret Beaufort to chew scenery? It'd be like having Reign without Megan Follows!
Charity June 25th, 2019
IKR? They always wreak horrible revenge on Margaret Beaufort at some point. Wonder who is going to be the horrible "feminist" next season now she's dead? :P
I suspect it might be Anne Boleyn, assuming she isn't reduced to awful-incest-having-witchy-alpha-bitch.
I just jinxed it, didn't I?
I don't know if the writer wants to get into The Other Boleyn Girl years or not. I guess we'll see. Starz may renewe the damn thing for another season just to get in Anne Boleyn.
James July 16th, 2019
Nah. It'll be Maggie Pole – the title screen DOES say that it is taken from "The Constant Princess" and "The King's Curse" in which Maggie plays a big role. Evidently, judging from the series, they have gone with the whole Anne Boleyn being born in 1501 for the series, so she won't play a role until the last few episodes…
Lady Hermina De Pagan June 25th, 2019
Next season the big bad will be Bessie Blount, The Man Eater who will try and come between true love.
Hahaha. She'd be a bit young, but knowing this show, they'll age her up. :P
mjsamuelson June 26th, 2019
My guess is season 2 ends up covering a huge amount of time, in the same vein as The White Queen. They could progressively age up Anne over a handful of episodes. Alternately, the groundwork is laid for them to give us Philandering Harry, so I'd look for an aged-up Mary Boleyn before they go to Anne.
scowls
They have said they want to "conclude" Catherine's story, which would mean going to 1536… so year, presumably season 2 is going to cover a 27 year gap and they'll just use make-up to age the characters.
It depends on what sources you go for with Bessie. Sources differ between Bessie's birth; some sources say 1498 and that she was 21 at the time of Henry Fitzroy's birth and that she was 16 when the affair began in 1514. Other sources say she was born in 1500 or 1502 and was between 14 and 12 when the affair began. So for Bessie, it depends on which age they go with, really…
Charity July 16th, 2019
I'm guessing she was older. Henry in general seemed to go for more mature girls; Katherine Howard being the exception.
Cheryl June 26th, 2019
Yes not sure why Margaret Beaufort is being portrayed so demonically and she would have never been allowed to run around wreaking havoc. She certainly was not present at Dudley's execution nor would she have passed sentence. Why are we devoting so much time to fictional character Lina? I appall the Phillippa Gregory novels. They are so historically inaccurate yet I keep watching! The real history is so fascinating. Why butcher it so mercilessly!
Aleko June 29th, 2019
Eh? Why should they not show a black man being hanged in 2019, just as much as a white man? It's not as though he's hanged for being black; he's hanged for being a lousy Spaniard who has p**ed off the Queen enough for her to want to trump up a charge against him. In the Tudor period making your self an inconvenience to the monarch was enough to get *anyone topped in short order.
It's the optics of it, Aleko. It's hard not to see a Black man being hanged and NOT think about lynching.
Aleko July 3rd, 2019
Ah, now I get you, but that's – I think – mainly an American reaction. Lynching never having been part of Black history in Britain, it honestly just didn't occur to me, and I don't think it would to most Brits.
Constance December 12th, 2019
I think she & Arthur did have sex though…Catherine had great reasons to stick to that declaration and probably viewed it as a valid fib since she was "meant" to be Q of E per God, so…whatever it takes. Also she never said a word during the pregnancy watch in real life either…only used the virgin line when threatened to be expelled etc…
Susan Pola Staples June 25th, 2019
Like CoA would risk her immortal soul by lying. More PFG wrongness.
A Catholic would never, never marry in a partial Islamic ceremony at this time. CoA parents drove the Moslem population out of Spain. PFG cannot get basic Spanish History 101 right. She is an equal historical fuckup.
I hope you have a great reward for reviewing this shit.
Your screencaps were drole.
BTW. I'm reading I Know My Own Heart. It's great. Anne Lister is so CURIOUS. She's interested in everything.
Have fun at Costume Con.
Heather June 25th, 2019
For the record, PFG didn't include Oviedo, Lina or a partial Islamic marriage between the two of them. That was nowhere in the book. 😉
As usual, modern political commentary can't be left on the table. Starz would have considered it blasphemy to miss a chance for a totally inaccurate interfaith marriage ceremony – as if this isn't the same England that's going to burn heretics at the stake in a very short time.
Actually, COA could lie; if it's for her daughter's sake – i.e lying to stay Queen so Mary stays a Princess – then it's for a "noble" cause and her immortal soul is not harmed. So she could lie.
Doesn't really fly with Catholicism, since she'd still be lying to a priest, which is a damning sin.
James Swann August 7th, 2020
Except if she's lying for "God's plan"; God's plan was for her to be Queen… and, to do that, she has to lie. So, she COULD lie to fulfil god's plan…
Charity August 8th, 2020
Doesn't erase the sin of lying to a Confessor, tho, since it's still a damnable sin?
Yes, plus her so called destiny to be queen…
K June 25th, 2019
I can't help but wonder if the wedding dress isn't made of damask, but devoré. It looks like the darker portion has a bit of pile to it. But, considering the amount of polyester utilized in this piece, what is a technique invented a few centuries in the future between friends?
Kate D June 25th, 2019
Your recaps are a gift! Thank you for suffering through this for us!
From the way you're describing it, Catherine's confrontation of Henry over his alleged affair with her sister must've been hilarious.
"Did you shag my sister while she was there?!"
"Uhm… No?"
"And did you sleep with my brother while you were married?!" looks into the camera like a character on The Office
"No!" also looks into the camera
"Okay! Let's get married! God, that was so close! We almost had a conflict there!"
Nzie June 25th, 2019
I still can't believe this crap gets a season 2.
Also, the executioner… wouldn't he just… keep hacking? I mean, the guy had one job, kill the dude. And he lets him bleed out long enough to spill the beans?
Teresa Alley June 25th, 2019
What happened to the dispensation that Isabella & Ferdinand got from the pope when Arthur died, which allowed Catherine to marry Henry 'even if' the marriage with Arthur had been consummated??? Margaret Beauford cackling on about 'you don't have a dispensation', when Catherine already had one?!?! Give me one good reason why Margaret Beaufort loathed Catherine with such a white-hot hatred? And finally – 2 tax collectors, Empson & Dudley were executed BY HENRY VIII after his ascension to the throne. But we can't let our red-haired hero look bad, can we? No, we must pin more dirt on Margaret Beaufort. LOL on the windmill dress – it is really hideous!
By the way Margaret Beaufort was dead when Edmund Dudley was executed. She died in June 1509. Dudley was executed in August 1510.
Coco June 25th, 2019
The problem with the windmill dress is that it is being used incorrectly. Catherine should yell, "WINDMILL, ACTIVATE!" And the door to the Tower of London will blow open, freeing Margaret Pole, Oviedo's executioners are blown out to sea, and the letter with the Pope's dispensation is lifted from Margaret Beaufort's papers to fly directly into Catherine's hands. After all, Isabella of Castile defeated the Moors with the power of the windmill dress. Cervantes referenced this in his first draft of 'Don Quixote,' which is where we get the well-known saying 'tilting at windmills dresses."
Heidilea June 25th, 2019
XD XD XD
anniebuck June 25th, 2019
This is True History. PFG and Starz, take note.
SarahV June 26th, 2019
Would watch!
but everyone knows that windmills cause cancer!
Hannah June 25th, 2019
YES WE WANT RECAPS. I've looked forward to these every week.
Pat F. July 5th, 2019
The recaps are more fun than the show.
Roxana June 25th, 2019
I don't recall the exact details of Henry VII's death but it was in his own bed and young Henry was right there in the room having been kept right at his father's side for the seven or eight years he was heir apparent.
Margaret Beaufort was technically regent for a few months until Henry turned eighteen but she doesn't seem to have done much. Her only son's death took her hard. Once she saw her grandson crowned and married she had little more to live for and didn't long survive.
Margaret Pole was still posing as a poor widow and boarding with the Bridgetine Nuns. She was definitely not in the Tower and there was no de la Pole plot for her to be implicated in.
Henry VIII had Dudley and Empson tried and executed in a cold blooded play for popularity. It is doubtful that either man had done anything illegal but they were symbols of Henry VII's unpopular fiscal policy..
I mean, history is hard, yo.
M.E. Lawrence June 26th, 2019
Oh, yes! Ever so hard. And it's just–boring, you know, and has to be simplified and tarted up and made relevant to our little dumbed-down, 21st-century brains.
Liz June 25th, 2019
YES please recap S2, if you can stand it.
Saraquill June 25th, 2019
How much booze do you need to get through Season 2? Will your livers be safe?
Katie O'Donnell June 25th, 2019
This was such a weird, wild ride. It was like I had no idea what to expect just from one sentence to the next because nothing makes any sense – not even on a historical level, but just from pure storytelling! If all this mishmash of history came together into something that was a good story I would be maybe a little more forgiving but I don't know what this is lol
"Catherine knows Henry has been summoned, and apparently there's only one road into London from the north of the city, so she goes and waits for Henry to ride along."
Actually that's not far off the truth. There was only one main road leading north to Lincoln and York, and that entered the city at Aldersgate. There was only one leading northwest to St Albans, the Midlands and the mid-Welsh Marches, and only one westward to Bath, Bristol and the west country, and they both entered the city at Newgate. Et cetera. So if you knew where someone was coming from, you only had to wait at the appropriate gate and you would indeed meet them, unless they were deliberately trying to avoid you and took a long hike around the walls to come in by a different gate.
It was special, there's no doubt there. I've been watching mainly to try and anticipate the quality snark y'all put out :-)
But yeah, all three series have made me wonder what the heck PFG has against Margaret Beaufort. I got a decent sense in The White Queen that she was nuts, but for a reason. After that it just spiraled into undiluted crazy (and by this series, they left her devout Catholicism at the gate – can we talk about how the Margaret Beaufort they set up would never have given anything the Pope had touched to a heretic, much less what the real MB might have done in that situation?? Not that "devout" means anything in these shows beyond occasional kneeling before crucifixes and constantly having a Rosary at one's hip).
The loose dress thing that Catherine wears for a good chunk of this episode is just….all I can say is I liked it better than the windmill dress, which isn't saying much, as I like sackcloth better than the windmill dress.
I wonder, now that Henry VII is dead, can we stop calling Henry VIII "Harry"??? Also, what are the chances that the Meghan Markle conspiracy theories find themselves attached to Catherine's future storylines….
Elizabeth Edwards June 26th, 2019
I've been watching along with more and more shock at the devolution of Margaret Beaufort. For a show that touts itself as feminist and a way of showing the women's side of history, they sure did go out of their way to make a woman who was not a devil into one.
Catherine apparently forgetting her devotion to the Catholic Church is another one that's been grating at me. I mean having her sleep with Arthur when she never would have lied to risk her soul was bad enough but just in general it's like they only remembered how devout she was on occasion. Just like they peppered in reminders that Margaret B was a child bride to?? Garner sympathy after they destroyed her character?? I can't even figure that one out, especially the random flashback to child her giving birth to Henry.
TWQ and TWP were still very "history? I don't know ha" but they didn't enrage me the way this one has. And yet you know I'll be watching season 2, especially to see how Anne Boleyn is demonized (because apparently showing the women's side of a history in which they were used as literal pawns, fuck them kids, right? The Henry's were pure beans surrounded by crazy power hungry harlots!)
(That was supposed to say "literal pawns MEANS fuck them kids", apparently I can't edit that last bit to actually make sense)
Patrick Keogh June 28th, 2019
Henry's wedding outfit is definitely one of the better costumes in the show, along with whenever Margaret actually wears a gable hood.
I can't decide which was more annoying – the Catholic & Muslim-officiated wedding of a condemned Muslim thief about to be hanged to his Catholic bride (annoying because I doubt that it would have been allowed even if they could have found a Muslim cleric to co-officiate), or the fact that after sitting through all those episodes of Catherine's angst, they didn't show her actual wedding to Henry (or if they did, it went by so quickly that my eyes didn't register the ceremony).
Lillian July 7th, 2019
Why did Margaret just suddenly realize that the taxes SHE instituted could get her in trouble? I thought she was supposed to be smart. Or are they trying to imply she has dementia?
I think the implication, Lillian, is that she assumed Henry VII would live for another 10 years or so and she'd be dead of old age anyway, so it wouldn't matter.

It was horrible. I had to constantly be using some kind of substance just to cope. It got to a point I was working for free because I'd snort my paycheck 5 days before I even got it. I lost everything. I tried to commit suicide numerous times couldn't get that right. I started with drugs and when I couldn't afford them I went to drinking.


Yes – I actually said these words to my older son this week. Now before you go all PC or DCF on me rest assured there is no toddler "fight club" working at our house. I think a bit of a current events lesson though , would be helpful to understand where this came from and what it means.
The boys during a friendly moment on Christmas morning.
Having boys you expect loud, rambunctiousness. You expect games and racing around the house. And you expect fights. And even though they are still young, my boys are no different. They race cars through the living / dining room (the person who first designed open concept floor plans must have had lots of children who needed a space to work off their energy). They jump from the couch to the bean bag chair. They take toys away, and yes occasionally – oh honestly – frequently – they fight.
Matty & I taking a quick break on our hike around Walden Pond.
When they actually fight, it is interesting to watch each one's technique. Will likes to lay on top of Matty and generally roll him flat. Matty pushes and then lunges in for a bite. Regardless of who is the aggressor someone is crying in about 30 second and one of us tall people is dragged into the arena to referee.
Now the fights of a 3 ½ and an almost 2 year old are not WWE worthy. They are not even local access worthy. Their fights predominantly involve the two of them pulling at the same toy and screaming "I had it first" or "It's mine". All very high drama, I expect Masterpiece to be calling for the rights any day. If it was not for their frequency it would all seem quite funny. We have tons of cars, trucks, and construction vehicles in the family fleet, but oh no – they only want what the other one has. We are trying to get them to buy into the rule of – if you put down toy A and pick up toy B – than toy A is open season for your brother to then use. The only total hands off items are personal blankets and a stuffed animal dog they each have (of course with the same name Milo).
It is during the non-fight times when my words of wisdom were imparted to my older son. In general, he is a great kid. He is (not untypical for first borns) more rule bound and will toe the line as expected. Matty the second born is the free spirit. I (also being a second) cannot hold this against him, but wow – what a difference. Matty pays no mind to the rules of the game or of the house. He is his own man – well his own toddler. One game Matty really likes to play is "Hit my big brother on the head with something hard". Out of nowhere he seems to appear and wham – knocks Will on the head with a wood block, a car, or even a tub toy. In response, Will gets upset and often cries, he is a softer soul for sure.
Will & dad also enjoying the hike.
After watching this exchange go on and on, I decided it was time for a new approach. Reprimands and interventions with Matty have not worked and the behavior needs to stop. That is why I told Will, if Matty hits you like this – hit him back! When Will cries it just reinforces Matty to do it again so Will needs to stand up for himself and put an end to his little brother's thrashings. Yes – it all sounds so old school, eye for an eye stuff. But let's think of the bigger ramifications if the behavior goes unchecked.
Matty thinks he can just hit people? What happens when he starts doing this at school or with friends (they will hit him back harder)? How often will I be called into the principal's office during his Kindergarten year as he tries to bully his way across the playground?
Will becomes a door matt. He needs to realize that he can (and should) defend himself at least a little bit. I'd hate to think of the self-esteem blow when it eventually sinks in "I let my little brother kick my a**"!
I have made it clear to Will he is not to hit first – or he will have me to answer to.
"No thank you Matty" with which ever block is closest.

Nowruz: Iranian New Year festival to be held in state Capitol

Nowruz: Iranian New Year festival to be held in state Capitol Around the world, Iranians are greeting spring and embracing a new year with the colorful festival, Nowruz. Check out this story on tallahassee.com: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2019/03/25/nowruz-iranian-new-year-festival-held-state-capitol/3128737002/
Nada Hassanein, Tallahassee Democrat Published 6:00 a.m. ET March 25, 2019 | Updated 11:55 a.m. ET March 25, 2019
Millions around the world are greeting spring and embracing a new year with the colorful Persian festival, Nowruz.
A series of festivities that stretches through 13 days, Nowruz symbolizes a time of renewal for about 10,000 Iranians in Florida.
This Thursday, the festival is coming to the state Capitol building for the first time, organized by Rep. Anna Eskamani (D-Orlando), the first Iranian-American lawmaker elected to Florida office.
Eskamani remembers celebrating Nowruz, meaning "new day" in Farsi, with her family in East Orlando.
In their backyard off Talladega Drive, where her late mom grew mint leaves and melon trees, Eskamani, her twin sister and brother waited for moon rise to celebrate "chaharshanbe" — a fire-jumping festival about a week before Nowruz, where people jump over fire pits, a symbol of shedding the yellow of the flames and taking its red vitality.

"When kids would wait for it to get dark for Halloween, we would wait for it to get darker to do Nowruz, so we can start jumping over fire," she said.
The celebration, with roots in ancient Persia, is one that's also observed by millions throughout the Balkans, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Families count down for the spring equinox — when the sun moves right above Earth's equator — and exchange gifts and sweets.
An estimated 9,835 Iranians reside in Florida, according to 2017 American Community Survey data. About 96 registered members make up Florida State University's Iranian Student Association.
Through the festival, Eskamani aspires to break stigmas and build bridges.
"I'm really hopeful that this will be a moment to help teach others the values and the identities of Iranian culture," she said. "Perhaps folks will be with a different perception of what it means to be an Iranian American."
Revelers can expect Iranian music, dance and traditional dishes — like ghormeh sabzi, a stew of fragrant herbs, meat and kidney beans and fesenjoon, a meat stew steeped in spices and pomegranate molasses — catered by Under Wraps, a local 13-year-old Iranian-owned eatery.
Fish and herbed rice, rosewater-scented baklava and rice-flour cookies are other classic Nowruz fare.
During the new year's festivity, a vivid display called "haft seen" is set up. Haft is Farsi for seven and seen is the letter "s."

Spread across a vibrant stitched tablecloth is an artful array of seven items starting with the letter "s" in Farsi — candles and painted eggs, oranges and hyacinth blossoms, goldfish and sprouted greens. Each of the decorative tokens carry a metaphor: apples could convey health or beauty, and garlic could denote health.
While Persians celebrate around the world, an ongoing travel ban and other politics have placed a damper on the celebration for Iranian Americans.
Last November, sanctions were placed on Iran when President Donald Trump left the Iranian nuclear agreement.
"I really hope this (festival) lifts up the value of immigrants in this country, in this state, to make connections with the Iranian community and their local elected officials," Eskamani said.
With the holiday's emphasis on family connections, it can be a bittersweet time for Iranians here on student visas; the travel ban enforced by Trump's administration restricts visas for those from Iran, separating the immigrants from their families.
Fereshteh Shakibai has lived in Tallahassee for three decades. She's celebrated the holiday with her kids at their Killearn home and whenever the community would hold festivities around town.
"Holiday means family; holiday means love," Shakibai said.

Rahmani, 29, and his fiancee had to cancel their wedding in Iran. Shakibai's brother is in the U.S., separated from his Iranian wife, a psychologist who had plans to immigrate here to be with her husband.
"The tradition is you revisit your entire extended family," Rahmani said. "Nowruz is when you unite back with your family... The pressure of not being able to visit your family is pretty real."
Before the travel ban, Rahmani said, his friends' parents and relatives would come visit.
"When you go to their house, you feel like your parents are there," he said. "But that isn't possible now."
Still, he and other Iranian students have formed their own close-knit community.
Together, they'll welcome a new year.

How Administrators Can Wage War on Bad PD - Dave Stuart Jr.
So I shared a bit ago about how one of the bad guys that's driving teachers nuts these days is bad PD.
Okay, driving them nuts is an understatement. Just ask a teacher.
And while leading some PD a couple weeks ago in the fine states of Oklahoma and Missouri, I started thinking really hard about this. You see, I'm passionate about empowering teachers to lead calm, impactful classrooms; thus, when I hear about all the angst being caused by, say, the Common Core, which could be quite simple and powerful yet seems destined to be presented as complicated and soul-sucking… well, I get angry.
So this post is 100% for administrators, PD committees, and anyone else who pulls the trigger on PD decisions. I'll break it up into three parts: PD basics, homegrown PD, and foreigner PD.
This man can ignore everything I'm writing about.
There are a few principles that should probably guide any kind of good, useful PD.
First of all, a mentor of mine likes to say, "Whoever's doing the talking is doing the thinking." Good PD should involve a mixture of a leader talking and participants talking. Any PD that is 100% presented content probably involves someone selling you something and probably won't impact your teachers. The only exception here might be if the speaker is an absolute boss (e.g., I once listened to Leonard Pitts talk for an hour at a Michigan Reading Association conference; it changed my soul).
To be even more specific, participant talking should not just be in one mode. For example, there are times when participants can benefit from interacting with their peers, and there are times when participants can benefit from a limited Q & A session with the leader. It's all about mixing it up — but each strategy and activity used should be chosen with thoughtful intentions, not just for the sake of mixing it up.
Teachers don't like cutesy, and activity for activity's sake is cutesy.
So in general, a good PD session needs an appropriate, intentional mix of learning modes: hands on demonstrations of the strategies being discussed, video of actual teachers in actual classrooms, print materials with appendices that may or may not be directly addressed in the session, and plenty of time for teachers to process the information.
It's about making the session as useful and practical for real teachers as humanly possible.
Some of the best PD I've ever experienced cost as little as a Flip camera and a few hours of video editing.
In my experience, the best homegrown PD involves getting into each others' classrooms and processing what's working and what's not. Yet, due to scheduling and space constraints, this is pretty impractical to do on a large scale.
After 15 minutes or so, a PA announcement was made to move on to a different classroom to view a different video.
We watched and discussed three videos that day; it was so refreshing to see teachers we knew doing moves we had learned about. There was nothing flashy, no professional video editing — just teachers watching/discussing teaching.
*that is, folks from out of town; folks like me (insert frightening music).
Even though I think the homegrown video PD outlined above is powerful and effective, there are times when bringing in an outside voice is worth the expense.
For example, in one of the schools I visited recently, teachers were overwhelmed by previous Common Core PD, and my hosts believed that my focused, non-freaked out approach would alleviate some tension and empower teachers to get started. The same message coming from someone in-district who wasn't me might have been somewhat effective, but coming from the guy who lives and breaths that message, it might have had a little more punch.
In another school, the staff was highly motivated and high-performing, and, honestly, my ideas seemed most valuable in that they reaffirmed the awesome work being done and perhaps added a new thing here and there (actually, one of the common takeaways from that PD was grit, something entirely unrelated to and yet totally necessary for Common Core).
Basically, outside voices have their place; foreign PD can be great.
But the thing is, when you start searching around for PD consultants, it can be like searching around for Common Core aligned resources: there are a boatload of 'em out there, but it's hard to tell which are worth… well, anything.
1. Is this person in a classroom?
And they'd be right, because George Washington is dead.
But it's seriously important to teachers that the person presenting to them understands what it's like to manage a full course load with bloated class sizes and testing pressures and helicopter parents and free/reduced lunch issues and national standards movements.
So if you are looking at someone who is retired or semi-retired or a literacy coach or something, make darn sure this person can clearly explain how they gain rapport with teacher audiences. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am saying it's hard.
2. Do they have stuff online? Is it quality?
A person's available resources are a great indicator of whether they'll "bring the ruckus" when it comes time to present to your staff. If they have nothing online — and I'm not talking about a website; I'm talking about fresh content, PDFs, videos, slideshows, an active social media account, or anything that shows they are regularly producing value for teachers outside of their presentations — it might be a sign that they can't bring it.
It might not. But it might.
Maybe they wrote a book once, but how are they serving and supporting folks in between publication cycles?
3. What do some of your teachers think about this person?
Divide the teachers in your building into three groups in your head: high will, medium will, and low will. Pick a person from each group and show them a summary page or a video intro of the PD person you're considering.
Ideally, the PD person you're looking at can engage each teacher, just like the ideal teacher can engage each kind of learner that comes in their room.
4. Where else have they spoken? What have been the results?
A great principal at one of the schools I visited recently asked, "What results have come from Dave's previous workshops?" What an incredible question. If the PD person you're looking at has no track record of results to share upon request, your teachers are likely to sense that this person is selling a soft hard-boiled egg.
5. Are they an engaging speaker? Are there any speaking clips available online?
Some of the brightest researchers and writers in the world are absolutely horrible presenters — just watch a TED talk. And while they are fascinating to watch, it's highly unlikely that their talks produce much change in their audience. Try to find some way — past participant feedback, video clips, etc. — to prove that this person will hold the attention of your teachers.
Now: wage war on bad PD and get this post in your administrator's hands… er, face!
I know we have a few administrators here in the Teaching the Core community, but most of us are teachers. Whoever you are, share this post with every principal in your life.
If I've missed anything, let me know in the comments!
I really enjoy your posts tremendously. This one really didn't apply to me, but today I have been combing past posts and getting my plans together. Thanks for your continued service.

Borussia Dortmund: A Brief History
The Prolific Reus and Gotze
This season's Champions League has thrown up numerous surprises. The most obvious being the absence of any English team from the quarter-final draw, for the first time since the 1995-1996 season. Aside from this, the presence of Borussia Dortmund in the last 8, didn't shock too many, but their road to the quarters couldn't have been more difficult. What's more astounding about the rapid rise of Dortmund is that only 5 years ago, the possibility of the German club competing for major European honours seemed a fairytale.
The City of Dortmund's Nazi past
Borussia Dortmund is another football club steeped in History. It may not be as decorated as its German counterparts Bayern Munich but it is interesting to look at nonetheless. Like with other German clubs, the club's past is best to begin viewing after World War II. Prior to the Second World War, Dortmund had been a moderately small club founded in 1909 by 17 youths unhappy with the "trinity youth" where any sport was overlooked by a strict parish priest. After WWII the original Borussia (Lat. Prussia) Dortmund were dissolved like any other German organization by the Allies to distance the club with its Nazi past. However, before the War, Dortmund's president was sacked due to his anti-Nazi tendencies.
"BvB" was re-established in 1948 after the original dissolution by the Allies. They would go on to reach the German Cup Final the following year, before dominating West German football for the next decade. In 1962 the Bundesliga was officially formed, the 2012-13 season being its 50th. The club's record in the 70s and 80s was that of a mid-table team after financial difficulties, not claiming a league title or cup until 1989 (The German SuperCup). The 70s and 80s of course remembered by Germans as the Bayern years, as Beckenbauer, Muller and Maier spearheaded the Munich revival.
The infamous Die Sudtribune
Dortmund's recent history can be characterised in five words, "Rise, Fall and Rise again". 1991 was the original turning point for the club as Otmar Hitzfeld took over the reins as Borussia's manager. After narrowly avoiding the drop in 1986, Dortmund managed a second place finish by 1992 in Hitzfeld's first full season. To the Dortmund fans the mid 90s are often referred to as the "Golden Age". Consecutive league titles in 1995 and 1996 prompted the appearance of BVB in the greatest club competition of all, The Champions League." The 1996-97 season supplying the setting for arguably the greatest victory in their History.
Champions League Winners
RISE: The previous season's European Cup had been won by Juventus on penalties against holders Ajax after a 1-1 draw. It would be the side from Turin who would face BVB in the final, to be played at old rivals Bayern Munich's Olympiastadion. The road to Munich had been comfortable for Dortmund, with only one defeat in the group stages to Atletico Madrid, before beating a strong Manchester United 2-0 over two legs in the semi finals. Borussia's team consisting of the likes of Mathias Sammer, Andreas Moller and Lars Ricken would prove too strong in the final for Juve by securing a 3-1 victory. This wasn't just any Juventus team as well. Their side supplying the enviable talents of Alessandro Del Piero, Christian Vieri and the young Zinedine Zidane. This surely meaning that the 1997 victory has to go down as one of the best in modern years.
FALL: The beginning of the 21st Century proved a turning point for Dortmund after financial problems hampered a promising start. Despite the loss of Hitzfeld to Bayern Munich in 1997, Borussia managed to win the Bundesliga in 2002 and reach the UEFA Cup final (losing 3-2 to Feyenoord). However, as in the 1970s and 80s the club was crippled by financial problems due to a decline in the stock market (Dortmund being the only club to be publicly traded), needing a £2 million loan from Bayern to cover their payroll. The following seasons brought more mid-table mediocrity before even coming close to relegation in 2006/7 and 2007/8. They would need an urgent change. The answer? Jurgen Klopp.
The recent German Cup success over Bayern
RISE AGAIN: Klopp's arrival in 2008 would spearhead the rapid change to Borussia's fortunes. Klopp's early record was decent, resulting in a 5th place finish in 2010 before the 2010-11 season which brought BVB back into the international spotlight. Dortmund's youthful squad winning the league title despite an average age of just over 24 with the talents of Nuri Sahin (21), Mario Gotze (18) and Mats Hummels (21) leading the campaign. The season also including a run of 14 wins out of 15 before Christmas. Despite losing Sahin to Madrid the following season, BVB still managed to win the league and cup double. The latter being secured by a 5-2 victory over Munich with Polish striker Robert Lewandowski scoring a hat-trick.
This season has brought young attacker Marco Reus to the Westfalenstadion, forging a partnership with Mario Gotze described by Franz Beckenbauer as a "classic duo, there is no one more prolific than Gotze and Reus". Nevertheless the club has fallen behind Munich domestically, effectively conceding the Bundesliga already and being knocked out by the Bavarian club in the German Cup. However, the Champions League could prove to be the light at the end of the tunnel and possibly the perfect send off for Jurgen Klopp as speculation continues to rage on over his future. Surely the prospect of the Dortmund v Munich derby next season with Pep Guardiola should be enough for Klopp to take on one more season and show us all who really is the top dog in Germany!
Bayern's new boss, surely a reason for Klopp to stay?

Ram Hinsdale Got the Headline, But Not So Fast
The latest federal campaign finance reports are in, and State Sen Kesha Ram Hinsdale took the headline by winning the first-quarter fundraising race among the Democratic candidates for Congress with $444,213. Senate President Pro Tem Becca Balint was next with $368,382. Lt. Gov. Molly Gray, rather surprisingly, was third with $292,208 in first-quarter takings. (Sianay Chase Clifford isn't competitive in the money race with a little more than $7,000 in donations. She'll have to hope for a people-powered David v. Goliath effort.)
But those topline numbers don't tell the whole story. In fact, they're downright misleading for a number of reasons. Ram Hinsdale took in the most during the first quarter — but if you look at fundraising for the entire campaign, Gray is first. If you look at cash on hand, Balint is first and Ram Hinsdale is a distant third. And that's really the most important metric, isn't it?
(Standard disclaimer: Fundraising is only one measure of a campaign's strength. As long as you're competitive, it doesn't matter how much you've got. It's how well you spend it and how strong your grassroots game is. But money is the only campaign metric that's easily measurable, so we dutifully measure it.)
Another thing. Ram Hinsdale has 56 individual donors who've given the maximum $2,900 for the primary campaign. That's $162,500 of her total, and none of those people can give to Ram Hinsdale again until the general election campaign. Balint, by comparison, has only 23 max donors, worth $66,700 of her total. She has a lot more room to go back to donors and ask for more money. (Gray has 27.)
On the other side of the ledger, Ram Hinsdale has been spending money at a brisk pace, including a boatload on out-of-state consultancies, strategists, and media production outfits. In fact, if you look at her fundraising and spending without knowing whose it is, you'd think you were looking at a big-money corporate Democrat's campaign, not a self-described champion of working folk.
So let's look at cash on hand which, to me, is the most important metric going forward. Balint has $432,597. Gray has $404,369. Ram Hinsdale? $218,691. She's got much less room to fundraise, and she's got half as much money in the bank. Does that sound like the "winner"?
Balint has a substantial edge over Gray in fundraising momentum, for what it's worth. Gray took in $335,733 in the year 2021 compared to Balint's $200,695. But in the first quarter of 2022, Balint outraised Gray by a margin of $76,174. Gray's fundraising pace has clearly slowed, while Balint is picking up steam.
Ram Hinsdale's donor list also looks more like a centrist Democrat's than a Bernie Sanders acolyte's. Her maximum donors include corporate executives, developers, landlords, venture capitalists, investors, bankers, and high-powered lawyers. Notable names: Burlington developer Eric Farrell; Lisa Steele of Main Street Landing; Barre Republican Thom Lauzon and his wife Karen; and Vermont Coffee Company founder Paul Ralston, a renegade Democrat who tried to grab Addison County's two Senate seats from the Dems in 2018 by running a slate of independent candidates. (Spoiler: It didn't work.) Jacob and Irene Hinsdale of Hinsdale Properties, who I'm guessing are Ram Hinsdale's in-laws*, gave $2,900 apiece. Raj Bhakta, founder of WhistlePig Whiskey, and Danhee Bhakta, current head of WhistlePig, were also max donors.
*Note: I've been informed that Jacob is Ram Hinsdale's husband, Irene is her mother-in-law. Irene's husband is no longer with us.
Let's look at Ram Hinsdale's profligacy in hiring expensive consultancies. 75 Words, a D.C. media production outfit, earned a cool $50,000 from Ram Hinsdale. Summit Campaign Strategies, the only Vermont-based consultant to her campaign, has received $35,200 for "digital consulting and email." Dunis Political Impact of D.C. earned $21,553 for campaign strategizing. D.C.-based digital consultant Authentic Campaigns, Inc., billed her campaign for $10,000. Convey Communications of Florida took home $9,000,
That's a total of $125,753 — spent in the two and a half months between her announcement on January 13 and the March 31 end of the reporting period. Balint, by contrast, has spent $43,000 on big media outfits and consultancies in a much longer campaign. Gray has spent $38,447 on big-ticket consultancies.
So. While Ram Hinsdale technically won the first-quarter fundraising derby, she's in a worse financial position than Gray or Balint. Much worse, in fact.
It's not hard to figure all this out. It's too bad the political media in Vermont follow the same rote pattern whenever they report on campaign finance filings: Focus on the topline, list a few prominent donors, and call it a day.
They missed the real story.

The recognition and accreditation of your work experience in Spain, as in other European countries before, has established a system of professional recognition – the evaluation of the knowledge acquired throughout your professional life.
Thus, recognition of skills is one of the measures that have been developed to assess the knowledge gained through work experience or through non-formal education.
The publication in the Official Gazette of the Certificate of Competence (BOE) requires further development by official invitation of the competent authorities.
What is a Professional Competence?
It is the knowledge and skills that allow the exercise of a professional activity. Professional Competence is having the ability to undertake the tasks and activities required by your profession or job.
Therefore, professional competence includes not only the technical expertise to exercise certain skills, plus the attitude to implement them according to the professional context.
The set of skills is called professional qualification.
What is The Professional Qualification?
The competences of a profession or employment that can be acquired through different types of training or through work experience.
The importance of obtaining a professional qualification is given by the need to regulate the exercise of a professional activity, unifying knowledge, skills, training and experience are evaluated and accredited by competent authorities.
Professional qualifications are grouped into 26 occupational families and five levels of qualifications, depending on the degree of complexity, as established by the criteria of the European Union.
How do you get The Professional Qualification ?
The Spanish authorities set the 'professional skills' of each qualification, dividing them into units of competence that are associated with training modules and are the reference for the professional certificate.
That is, a person with a specific and relevant employment and social experience, can obtain an official qualification, despite not having received the relevant teachings in a training center.
What is The Professional Accreditation?
Accreditation (La Acreditación Profesional) is the learning assessment and recognition and certification, regardless of how they were acquired.
In general, when talking about systems of accreditation, one refers to the assessment processes under which it is identified, recognized and certified that a person has certain competencies in relation to a degree or certificate, regardless of how obtained.
Educational proposals are generally for adults who have passed the age of compulsory schooling; workers who have been trained by their own experience and that have acquired the knowledge, skills and attitudes to perform a job.
The different regions of Spain, through their departments of education and employment, perform the relevant procedures of evaluation and accreditation of professional competences. In these departments the dates, venues and competency units that can be accredited for certification of professionalism are determined.
Because, innumerable Yoga centers and schools, are trying to associate what the administration has set for the professional qualifications and subsequent professional certification, with the different training courses that they offer.
At no time (as of the time of writing) has the legislation developed a training program for Yoga instruction, integrated into the overall educational plans. So, today (at the time of writing), the teaching of Yoga falls strictly in the field of non-formal education i.e. self accredited, far from any possibility of official recognition or approval, other than the professional accreditation criteria.
What Training Courses in Yoga?
All Training Courses in Yoga are developed by taking into account the criteria of each school or association.
The government, through its competent bodies, established its Professional Qualification System, the Professional Certification in Yoga Instruction, that may be proven by evaluating the acquired knowledge and experience, taking into account the units competition designed to effect.
If the experience and training acquired are insufficient to reach the fixed units of competence, one may undergo the required training modules designed for this purpose.
Does all this confuse you!
There is no formal system of training for Yoga instruction, or any such accreditation given by the Community of Madrid. It may exist in the future, but for now everything is waiting for final approval of the 'professional certificate' in question.
Therefore, the establishment of a 'Professional Certification' provides a teaching associated with the performance of work activity and the validation of the proposed experience to determine training practice.
Currently, Yoga Training is considered non-formal teaching. Their instruction is determined by their own qualifications, as established by the different training centers. They are not validated by the state and do not constitute regulated diplomas. It is considered teaching and learning outside of mandatory or formal education.
Yoga Center Madrid, an A.I. P.Y.S. affiliated teaching center, after extensive experience in other countries, began its journey in over Spain 20 years ago. Since then, Yoga Center Madrid has given countless training courses in Yoga. It has been a pioneer in the design of training courses in different styles.
Our educational programs are continually revised to suit the functional difficulties that arise as a consequence of our way of life, and are supervised by educational experts to ensure accuracy and compliance with the quality standards set by international associations.
All our manuals are prepared under constant evaluation of our students and are revised to include improvements that foster greater understanding and promote better qualified teachers.
Our philosophy of constant innovation allows our students to benefit from the latest trends in educational instruction.
Today, Yoga Center Madrid confirms that its training programs meet the levels set in "las Unidades de Competencia" and "los Módulos Formativos Asociados" for "la Certificación Profesional de la Instrucción en Yoga"(Professional Certification in Yoga Instruction); which will enable our students to pass the proposed government exams.
If you have any doubts send us your questions.

A nuclear arms race in Northeast Asia?
A race with six competitors would not be like the Cold War
Brendan Taylor, David Envall
International relations, National security | Asia, East Asia
Pyongyang is clearly in a hurry to develop its inter-continental ballistic missile capability to enable it to deliver a nuclear strike on the continental US, but does this point to an emerging arms race? Brendan Taylor and David Envall take a look in their chapter from Nuclear Asia, the new publication from the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific.
Speculation is rife that North Korea's burgeoning nuclear and ballistic missile programs will spark a dangerous new Northeast Asian arms race. In May of this year, senior officials in United States President Donald Trump's administration reportedly confided in Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop their fears that such an arms race was "inevitable" should the international community fail to rein in Pyongyang's nuclear and missile advances. During an interview on CNN in October 2017, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed, asserting that "we will now have an arms race – a nuclear arms race in East Asia".
Senior political figures like Minister Bishop and Secretary Clinton have encountered no shortage of strategic analysts willing to substantiate their claims. The prominent American commentator Michael Auslin, for instance, argued recently that "North Korea is ensuring a nuclear arms race". Similarly, the late Desmond Ball pointed presciently to a predominantly naval Northeast Asian arms race – through one with clear nuclear dimensions – in a paper published just over half a decade ago.
The arms race concept is widely employed. While its precise meaning remains contested, most experts agree that, used correctly, it applies to a relatively rare phenomenon in international relations.
More on this: Missiles and missile defence in a nuclear Asia
First and foremost, a defining characteristic of any arms race is the notion of 'reciprocal interaction'. In other words, two or more states need to disagree over the 'proper' balance of military power between them, and they need to be self-consciously increasing their arsenals – quantitatively or qualitatively, or both – specifically in response to that disagreement. Second, for arms-racing in any genuine sense of the term to occur, this action-reaction dynamic ought to be occurring rapidly.
The classic historical example of the arms race phenomenon is that involving Britain and Germany in the period prior to the First World War. Then, the British responded to Germany's naval build-up by developing a powerful new class of warship called the Dreadnought, which the Germans subsequently copied. In the decade preceding the First World War, the number of Dreadnoughts built by Britain was influenced significantly by the number built by Germany, and vice versa.
Pyongyang is clearly in a hurry to develop its inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) capability, to enable it to deliver a nuclear strike on the continental US. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, has authorised more missile tests in 2017 alone than his father, Kim Jong‑Il, did during his entire reign from 1994 to 2011. Likewise, three of North Korea's six nuclear tests have taken place under Kim Jong-un's watch.
Consistent with the arms race concept, North Korea's foreign minister Ri Yong Ho has indicated that Pyongyang's pursuit of nuclear weapons is intended to realise a "balance of power with the US". Moreover, there has been an evident action-reaction dynamic to the increasingly vitriolic statements traded between Kim and Trump. Beyond the rhetoric, however, there is very little evidence to suggest that Pyongyang's nuclear and missile advances are indeed reactive. Rather, they appear to reflect nothing other than the culmination of a decades-long determination to establish North Korea as a fully-fledged nuclear power.
There is certainly some evidence to suggest, however, that South Korea has been responding to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile advances in ways consistent with the arms race concept. Much to China's chagrin, for instance, Seoul in July 2017 confirmed that it would proceed with the installation of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defence system immediately following a North Korean ICBM test. Similarly, in September 2017 in the wake of North Korea's sixth nuclear test, the Trump administration acceded to a request from Seoul to remove the 500-kilogram weight limit in place on conventional warheads provided by the US to South Korea. Removing these restrictions affords Seoul much greater capacity to strike against the North in the event of conflict.
Yet South Korean responses to Pyongyang's advancing nuclear and missile programs have not been as rapid as the arms race concept would anticipate. THAAD deployment, for instance, was politically fraught and proceeded fitfully. The decision to deploy was initially announced by the US and South Korea in July 2016. Yet this decision was called into question by the May 2017 election of President Moon Jae-in. Whilst on the campaign trail, Moon had pledged to review THAAD deployment.

Likewise, while South Korean conservatives have called for the redeployment of US tactical nuclear weapons removed in 1991 to the Peninsula, South Korea's Defense Minister Song Young-moo dismissed this as a potential reaction to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile advances following a meeting with his US counterpart, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, in October 2017.
Tokyo's reactions to North Korea's nuclear and missile advances have followed a similar pattern. Over the course of the past quarter-century, these advances have steadily pushed Japan into reforming key elements of its national defence policy. The August 1998 Taepodong missile test-fired by North Korea over Japanese territory, for instance, pushed Tokyo into further reviewing its defence capabilities and, ultimately, cooperating with the US on ballistic missile defence. Likewise, North Korea's October 2006 nuclear test prompted open discussion in Japan about the utility of possessing an indigenous nuclear deterrent.
Pyongyang's most recent nuclear and missile tests appear to be triggering even more substantial reactions. They have, for example, prompted former Japanese Minister of Defense Shigeru Ishiba to raise the prospect Tokyo might loosen its three non-nuclear principles and seek to have the US introduce nuclear weapons into Japan. Tokyo is considering developing further counterstrike capabilities to provide a more multi-layered response strategy for retaliating against a North Korean attack. Japan's Ministry of Defense has also requested an increase in the country's defence budget for 2018, with specific items including an onshore version of the Aegis missile defence system.
More on this: Ear to the ground in East Asia's nuclear neighbourhood
Yet there are also important weaknesses in the argument that Japan is engaged in arms-racing behaviour. As in the South Korean case, Tokyo's reactions to North Korea's nuclear and missile advances have been highly incremental and protracted. Contrary to the expectations of the arms race concept, it is thus hard to sustain the contention that Japan's reactions to Pyongyang's provocations constitute a major qualitative or quantitative shift, as opposed to reflecting a more considered military modernisation process.
Mounting speculation that Japan 'going nuclear' will be a central element in Northeast Asia's emerging nuclear arms race runs into similar difficulties. Beyond the political and public arguments that would have to be made within Japan, substantial and complex operational planning would be needed for such a development to occur. As the technologically savvy strategic commentator Richard Bitzinger has recently observed, numerous operational steps and capability issues would need to be resolved, and there is little evidence today that Japan has even begun to put such a process in place.
Commentators predicting the emergence of a Northeast Asian nuclear arms race might argue that South Korean and Japanese policies to date have only been possible because of the confidence that Seoul and Tokyo have had in the nuclear umbrella provided by their senior ally, the US. Yet as the confidence of Seoul and Tokyo in US extended nuclear deterrence erodes in the face of North Korea's nuclear and missile advances, these commentators would argue, so too are the pace of Japanese and South Korean reactions to those advances likely to increase.
What such prognoses fail to account for, however, is the tradition of self-restraint which has long been a feature of Asian strategic culture. Writing in the late 1980s and challenging the conventional wisdom that arms control measures were next to non-existent in this region, for instance, the respected strategic commentator Gerald Segal concluded that informal and inherently more flexible arms control measures "based as much on unstated self-restraint" constituted one of "the hallmarks of Asian arms control".
Three decades on, it would be worth exploring further whether Tokyo and Seoul's thus far quite measured responses in the face of Pyongyang's nuclear and missile advances are, in fact, a product of this deep-seated culture of self-restraint. Is China's still relatively modest nuclear arsenal a reflection of this culture too? Will North Korea continue to expand its nuclear and missile forces indefinitely, or will a measure of self-restraint appear from Pyongyang at some point also?
More on this: Nuclear risk in Asia: how Australia should respond
Should such a culture of self-restraint today exist, the Singaporean practitioner Bilahari Kausikan calls for its abandonment. In a provocative, yet sophisticated contribution to the Northeast Asian nuclear arms race debate, he asserts that regional stability would be best served by Japan and South Korea pursuing nuclear weapons. Following a Waltzian logic, Kausikan argues that such a development would allow for "a six-way balance of mutually assured destruction (MAD) among the US, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea and North Korea" to form. Just as the fear of MAD served to effectively deter the Americans and the Soviets from entering the nuclear abyss during the Cold War, Kausikan contends, so will it ultimately prove stabilising in Northeast Asia today.
However, Kausikan's proposal underestimates the difficulty of applying the Cold War construct of MAD to contemporary Northeast Asia. The greater number of players involved here renders this region infinitely more complex and unpredictable than the much simpler bipolar world which existed during the superpower stalemate.
Moreover, Northeast Asia's strategic geography is different. As another Singaporean scholar, Bernard Loo, has recently observed, during the Cold War "the early warning systems that both superpowers maintained provided them with a reaction time of approximately 30 minutes." In Northeast Asia today, however, "the region is simply too compact, such that warning times of a pre-emptive first strike will be virtually non-existent."
Growing speculation notwithstanding, the spectre of a Northeast Asian nuclear arms race thus still appears some way off. To be sure, Pyongyang's nuclear and missile capabilities are advancing faster than most analysts anticipated. Yet there is little evidence of reciprocal interaction – the very essence of arms-racing – as a driver of North Korean behaviour.
More on this: North Korea is the litmus test for a nuclear weapons ban
There is some evidence to suggest the existence of action-reaction dynamics in the responses of Seoul and Tokyo to those North Korean advances. Again, however, those reactions have not occurred with the degree of rapidity anticipated and required by the arms race concept.
Further, Japanese and South Korean responses can also be seen as the product of the continued erosion of American extended nuclear deterrence. In other words, Tokyo and Seoul are not simply engaging in an arms race with North Korea but are also hedging against the risk of abandonment by the US. Indeed, it is not altogether inconceivable that either or both might ultimately embark down the nuclear path themselves if they no longer view the US nuclear umbrella as a sufficient deterrent to Pyongyang. Suggestions that such a development is inevitable, however, underestimates the self-restraint which has long been a feature of this region's strategic culture.
While a Northeast Asian nuclear arms race seems unlikely at this juncture, arguments that such a shift might ultimately prove stabilising should be treated with considerable caution. Northeast Asia's strategic dynamics are considerably more complex and fluid than those obtained between the superpowers during the Cold War.
Ensuring that a proper Northeast Asian nuclear arms race does not take off, however improbable one might seem, should thus remain a matter of high priority for both regional and US policymakers.

Assam: 3 Detained In DU Ragging Case
Guwahati: Dibrugarh Police on Sunday night detained three senior-year students in relation to a ragging incident at Dibrugarh University that left a junior-year student hospitalised with serious injuries.
The three students detained in connection with the case have been identified as Simanta Hazarika, Niranjan Thakur and Pranjit Baruah, who were the residents of Padmanath Gohain Baruah Students' Hostel .
This comes after Anand Sarma, a junior-year student in the university's commerce department reportedly jumped off the second story of the hostel to escape a vicious attack by seniors in the name of ragging, injuring himself seriously.
He was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he is now fighting for his life and is being closely monitored.
According to reports, two other juniors were in addition to Sarma. Following the incident, the victim's family filed a report and the accused was then put into custody.
The incident has been taken into consideration by university authorities, notably the anti-ragging task force who have launched an investigation into the circumstances that led up to it.
According to reports, a former university student who was an additional accused named in the FIR was still living in the hostel. However, he was not among those taken in by the police.
Reports also stated that ragging occurrences are fairly common at Dibrugarh University and that the university administration has previously issued numerous warnings. However, without concrete steps in place, it culminated in the disheartening incident.
The chief minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma denounced the horrible occurrence on Twitter and demanded that ragging be completely outlawed in the wake of it.

"Disquieting, edge-of-your-seat stuff" – The Apologists – Vault Festival
When was the last time you apologised? Accidentally brushing someone awkwardly on the tube? Getting held up at work perhaps, and leaving a friend waiting?
But have you ever had to apologise for something big? To make an apology your future depends on?
The Apologists is an absorbing and intelligent one-woman show presenting a series of three monologues by three different writers, each featuring an apology made under the pressure of public scrutiny.
The first monologue sees Iskandar Sharazuddin consider what it is to face up to the act of making a formal public apology, in the face of a tidal wave of suppressed emotion. Can sincerity ever show through the formality of a speech delivered by a senior public figure? Is it any wonder we find emotionless apologies difficult to accept? Or worse still – crocodile tears. Performer Gabrielle Scawthorn digs her nails into the press podium for support as she teeters on the edge of a full-blown howl of emotion.
In Cordelia O Neill's monologue, the apology can only come when her social influencer character can face up to what she's really sorry for. When a B&B review turns nasty, the hurt she's caused exposes the cracks in her seemingly perfect life. When she's ready to make it, will her apology even be heard? Scawthorn captures the distinction between her character's 'perfect' online and vacuous offline life with an almost disconcertingly well-observed performance.
an almost disconcertingly well-observed performance.
Perhaps an apology isn't ever enough, after all, Lucinda Burnett considers in the harrowing concluding part. Here we encounter a charity boss behaving badly, in an episode that must be heavily influenced by the Oxfam rape scandal of last year. He owes his chief of safeguarding a bigger apology than even he realises, and quietly devastated, she waits. This is the true heart-wrencher of the evening, and Scawthorn doesn't hold back in her performance. The pain in her eyes bores straight through you.
The pain in her eyes bores straight through you.
Unlikely Productions have compiled and produced an hour of exceptionally high quality drama that asks some big questions of its audience. In each scenario, we are left tantalised and questioning. How each character's apology is met is left ultimately down to our imaginations; would we accept, and why? Who is an apology really for, and where fault has been made or blame laid, can it really make it better?
an hour of exceptionally high quality DRama
You can physically feel the release of tension in the room between acts as Scawthorn changes her shoes in silence, a key indicator that this is disquieting, edge-of-your-seat stuff. See it – but be prepared for the unanswerable questions we are left to ponder to linger long afterwards.

Who Will Win the 2015 George Piggins Medal?
The South Sydney Rabbitohs' night of nights, the annual Red & Green Ball presented by Rembrandt, is just one sleep away, with the Club's Best & Fairest player set to be awarded the George Piggins Medal among a host of other awards.
A total of nine awards will be presented to Rabbitohs players on the night at Randwick Racecourses Ballroom, including; NYC Player's Player, NYC Best & Fairest, Tooheys New Fan Player of the Year, The Burrow Appreciation Award, the Roy Asotasi Member's Choice Award, the John Sattler Rookie of the Year, the Bob McCarthy Clubman of the Year, the Jack Rayner Player's Player Award, and the Club's highest honour, the George Piggins Medal.
You can find out who all our 2015 Red & Green Ball award recipients are online via Rabbitohs.com.au & Twitter on Friday night as it happens! Stay tuned!
Rabbitohs players will mix with members of the Rabbitohs Family, in what will this year be a themed throwback to the 1920s, in celebration of one of the Club's finest Golden Eras between 1925 and 1929 – a period that saw South Sydney labelled 'The Pride of the League'.
In 2014, Sam Burgess was the talk of the Red and Green Ball after the Grand Final hero picked up five awards at the Club's night of nights.
In what was the Englishman's final year at the Club, Burgess swept everything from the Member Choice and Player's Player awards, to taking out the ultimate prize on the night, the George Piggins Medal.
Meanwhile, Alex Johnston was a worthy recipient of the John Sattler Rookie of the Year Award – his 18 appearances yielding 21 tries to make him the Club's top try-scorer (eight more than any other Rabbitoh) for a personal first season haul of 84 points.
In the under 20s awards (NYC), Jack Gosiewski was awarded the NYC Players' Player Award, while Cheyne Whitelaw claimed the NYC's Best and Fairest Award.
