Peace talks get cold shoulder from villagers: local Deep South media
Home » Peace talks get cold shoulder from villagers: local Deep South media
Submitted on Mon, 4 Jan 2016 - 08:11 AM
After being forced to shut down since the 2014 coup, along with many other community radio stations in the area, Media Selatan, a local Malay radio station in the Deep South, is coming back on air early this year. The director of Media Selatan states that shutting down local media is tantamount to closing channels for citizens to express their opinions about the ongoing peace process.
Peace talks between the Thai state and the Patani freedom fighters have been at a standstill for over four months. Meanwhile, locals are indifferent to the proceedings, which are closed and unofficial. The standstill seemed to have started when the freedom fighters' party presented three demands to the Thai state.
The current dialogue between the junta and the freedom fighters is called Dialogue 2. The talks were initiated by the Thai military government and the Patani independence movement's umbrella organization, called MARA Patani. The 2013 peace talks between the Yingluck Shinawatra administration and BRN led by Hassan Taib were called Dialogue 1. Dialogue 1 ended abruptly after BRN, the insurgent group with the most firepower in the area, presented five demands that the Thai government found difficult to fulfil. At the same time, the Yingluck administration was beset by anti-government protests, leading to the usurpation of power in the coup d'état.
BRN's 5 preliminary demands during Dialogue 1:
Malaysia must be a mediator in the peace talks, not just a facilitator.
The Thai state must recognize the talks as being between Malays in Patani, led by BRN, and the Thai state.
This negotiation must be witnessed by representatives of the ASEAN countries, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and NGOs.
The Thai state must release all insurgent suspects and inmates, and cancel all arrest warrants without condition.
The Thai state must recognize BRN as an independence movement, not a separatist one.
MARA's 3 proposals during Dialogue 2:
Recognize MARA Patani as an official dialogue partner
Place the peace talks as an issue of national importance endorsed by the Thai Parliament, so that future administrations must continue to work on it.
Immunity for MARA members, so that they can enter Thailand and converse with citizens.
MARA includes delegates from organizations such as Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), Patani Liberation Organization (PULO), Barisan Islam Perbersasan Patani (BIPP), and Gerekan Mujahidin Islam Patani (GMIP). The BRN representatives of MARA refused to answer press questions on whether BRN's involvement in MARA was mandated or not. However, they did comment that they were the "real BRN."
Prachatai talked to Waehama Waekuejik, director of Media Selatan, a local radio channel with a large following among grassroots villagers in the Deep South. Media Selatan has been following political and violent issues since its founding in 2008. They even had a prominent role during Dialogue 1. Waehama talks about the role of local media as broadcasters of citizens' opinions to both parties at the peace talks, stimulating dialogue relevant to citizens' needs. However, Media Selatan and other community radio stations in the Deep South have been forced to shut down since the junta came into power. These shutdowns have killed local interest in Dialogue 2, says Waehama.
Nevertheless, Media Selatan, which usually features call-in segments, is coming back on air in January 2016.
Waehama Waekuejik
How do the peace talks during the Yingluck administration and the NCPO administration differ?
During Dialogue 1, news and information about the dialogue was more accessible to citizens. Everyone had hope in the talks: not so much as to expect results, but at least they see it as a possible solution.
During Dialogue 1, citizens received a lot of suspicious, unverified information and media campaigns regarding the talks. But when the news broke that Hassan Taib and Lt Gen Paradorn Pattanabut were negotiating, the false information started disappearing. The Thai state's negotiations took on a new dimension. Locals got excited, especially since the talks were open. The state continuously kept the media and the citizens updated. The opposition also spread their information, for example through YouTube. So, citizens were informed from both parties and were able to decide for themselves what to believe.
Luckily, at the time there was a lot of media freedom, so the media could do their job disseminating information. I remember that there was a lot of information floating around and people didn't believe that the Dialogue could present a solution. But when Ramadan came around, we actually saw results. In the first two weeks, there was almost no violence at all. People who didn't believe in the talks started to believe that it could be a solution towards peace. In the last two weeks of Ramadan, however, violence flared up again. Hassan Taib said through YouTube that Bangkok did not abide by the conditions of halting surround-and-searches and violence, since there was a killing of a suspect at Bannang Sata District, as well as multiple surround-and-searches, while the BRN had ceased all violent activity. After the surge in violence, BRN communicated through YouTube three to four times to the public, causing people to have many questions about the whole process.
At the time, I was in the media, so I was neutral. I presented stories from both parties in equal amounts. When locals had questions for Hassan Taib, I gathered those questions and went to ask Malaysia to connect me through to him. Therefore, Media Selatan was able to interview Hassan Taib. Some of the questions from the locals were about the care and protection of minorities in the three southernmost provinces. Hassan said, "I practice my religion, you practice yours." He gave an example of Malaysia's multiculturalism and multi-religious coexistence, where there are a lot of direct, up-front dialogues. He answered many questions, and I replayed the messages to citizens, even translating what he said into Thai. This made citizens even more excited about the peace talks. We were the main source of information about this for locals. Radio is a great medium to reach grassroots locals.
Around that time Media Selatan received both flowers and threats. The Thai state saw us as a loudspeaker for the BRN, while the BRN thought we were working for Bangkok. But we proved ourselves to an extent. The military invited us for a talk. They asked us why we interviewed BRN, and who sent us to do so. The Thai state's policies may have changed, but at the operational level, their practices remain the same. They are always suspicious and thinking negatively. I tried to present a balanced view of the issue. I didn't just interview one side. Luckily at that time, key men on the Thai state side, such as Lt Gen Paradorn and Pol Col Thawee Sodsong, were talking to the media. I was able to access the state's side and interview them, too.
For Dialogue 2, even though we received more information than in Dialogue 1, a lot of the information is missing a certain "something," causing locals in the area to respond coldly to Dialogue 2. They're a lot less interested and active, but why? This is an issue that's being discussed in the teahouses.
People don't really have any hope in Dialogue 2, since 1) the military is seen as the party of violence. The soldiers carry arms and are belligerent, opposed to the BRN. 2) People are suspicious about whether MARA is really mandated. Before, the lead agency of the freedom fighter side was BRN, mandated by the Council of the BRN, while MARA's status is quite obscure. BRN doesn't seem to be either accepting or rejecting MARA, so the efforts seem lukewarm, exacerbated by the reticence of the Thai state's own actions.
The BRN's previous five demands still have not been addressed, and now there are MARA's three new demands as well. Citizens see this as an unrealistic lakon [soap opera]. Communication with grassroots villagers has also been lacking. Communication is very important since peace talks are a complicated issue. We must talk about difficult issues in a way that makes them accessible to villagers.
The task at hand is to create an atmosphere of communication, helping people to understand and become further interested in the issue. We should make villagers feel like this is a crucial issue to follow. We had that kind of atmosphere during Dialogue 1. In teahouses, people would discuss the issue passionately. There's nothing like that nowadays. There's no criticism either, maybe because people are afraid of the military. The local Malay-language media channels, which usually communicate to the villagers, have also been shut down.
You gave so much leverage to the BRN. How about MARA Patani in your view and in the locals' view?
First, we have to ask the question about how MARA came to be. Is it because Malaysia pushed for it, or because Thailand did, or because they wanted it themselves? If you can't answer this, then it's hard to determine whether MARA has legitimacy or not.
People in the area do not really respect the authority of MARA, as evidenced by their indifferent reaction to it. People aren't following, aren't connected to MARA.
At the very beginning [of Dialogue 1], people didn't even believe Hassan Taib was real. That issue, of course, was quickly cleared up. But there's no face for MARA as of now.
Do you find MARA's request for impunity to enter the Patani area to converse with the locals and civil society groups an unconventional effort to solve the problem?
I'm indifferent to it since I view it as something that's impossible. Even asking to talk, to converse is a pipe dream, and the military would be hard-pressed to allow that. It would also be difficult for MARA to come and talk to the people and exchange opinions since their non-violent faction is rather powerless. Talks would only be possible if BRN's non-violent faction had more say and more power in the movement and their organization adopts a political structure, to ensure the safety of the people they talk with. For example, if I were to go and talk to MARA, I could be in danger. A civil society organization might be able to do so, but they're very varied in terms of structure. Who would you go talk to? After talking to one organization and wanting to continue on a project and keep in contact, would you be viewed as a loudspeaker for MARA?
The freedom fighters had their first press conference in Kuala Lumpur in August, hosted by the Malaysian government. Why do you think Malaysia has such a large role in the peace talks?
I predicted that there would be a press conference, since it was Malaysia's time to act. If Thailand's three southernmost provinces are not peaceful, then local development is held back. Malaysia is thinking of their own interests.
It seems like the peace talks have come to a dead end. What should be done now?
A middle, neutral ground should be set up for the media and those curious about the issue to be informed about it. I don't think only the "inner circle" should be informed, since it makes the villagers look unimportant. At the moment there's not even a space or a platform for villagers to voice their opinions. The state should allow local media to do their job and play a larger part than they are currently allowed to. Citizens' opinions should be communicated. If the local media can't do their job, then it's hard to get a feel of the people's sentiments, which are key to citizen involvement.

JAMES CHURCHWARD MU CONTINENT PERDU PDF
James had four brothers and four sisters. Census records indicate the family next moved to London when James was 18 after his grandfather George Gould died. He was the elder brother of the Masonic author Albert Churchward — He was a tea planter in Sri Lanka before coming to the US in the s.
Author: Akigor Vishura
Country: Pakistan
Uploader: Voodoorisar
Brasseur believed that a word which he read as Mu referred to a land that had been submerged by a catastrophe. The description of that land given to Solon by Sonchis , priest at Sais ; its destruction by earthquakes , and submergence, recorded by Plato in his Timaeus , have been told and retold so many times that it is useless to encumber these pages with a repetition of it. VI, p.
Other refugees supposedly fled to Central America and became the Maya. Churchward claimed that "more than fifty years ago", while he was a soldier in India , he befriended a high-ranking temple priest who showed him a set of ancient "sunburnt" clay tablets, supposedly in a long lost "Naga-Maya language" which only two other people in India could read.
Churchward convinced the priest to teach him the dead language and decipher the tablets by promising to restore and store the tablets for Churchward was an expert in preserving ancient artifacts.
The tablets were written in either Burma or in the lost continent of Mu itself according to the high priest. The edition states that "all matter of science in this work are based on translations of two sets of ancient tablets": the clay tablets he read in India, and a collection of 2, stone tablets that had been uncovered by William Niven in Mexico. This creation story dismisses the theory of evolution.
At the time of its demise, about 12, years ago, Mu had 64,, inhabitants and seven major cities, and colonies on the other continents. The 64 million inhabitants were separated as ten tribes that followed one government and one religion.
Churchward claimed that the landmass of Mu was located in the Pacific Ocean, and stretched east—west from the Marianas to Easter Island , and north—south from Hawaii to Mangaia.
According to Churchward the continent was supposedly 5, miles east to west and over 3, miles from north to south. That is bigger than the continent South America.
The continent was believed to be flat with massive plains, vast rivers, rolling hills, large bays, and estuaries. Eventually Mu "was completely obliterated in almost a single night": [9] after a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions , "the broken land fell into that great abyss of fire" and was covered by "fifty millions of square miles of water. Once the gases were empty after the explosion they collapsed on themselves causing the island to crumble and sink.
As evidence for his claims, he pointed to symbols from throughout the world, in which he saw common themes of birds, the relation of the Earth and the sky, and especially the Sun. Assyria mis-translated when writing and misplaced the garden of Eden, which according to Churchward would have been located in the Pacific ocean. Churchward makes references to the Ramayana epic, a religious text of Hindu attributed to sage and historian Valmiki. He claimed that symbols of the sun are found "depicted on stones of Polynesian ruins", such as the stone hats pukao on top of the giant moai statues of Easter Island.
Citing W. The platforms on which the statues rest ahu are described by Churchward as being "platform-like accumulations of cut and dressed stone", which were supposedly left in their current positions "awaiting shipment to some other part of the continent for the building of temples and palaces". Churchward is different from the continent of Lemuria that is theorized to be in the Pacific or Indian Ocean.
In his novels Churchward never mentions of the supposed other lost continent of Lemuria. Lemuria is imagined to be slightly bigger than Mu when located in the Pacific, but otherwise most people generally consider them the same mythological continent that once existed in the Pacific Ocean.
Newbrough called this continent Pan. People often link both Pan and Mu as the same mythological continent since both are claimed to be located in the Pacific. Newbrough continues to claim that the unknown continent disappeared 24, years ago, but will soon rise from the Pacific and will be inhabited by the Kosmon race. Heindel claims humans existed at this time, but humans had the power to shape-shift.
He says they had no eyes but rather two sensitive spots that were affected by the light of the Sun. In the dense atmosphere, humans were guided more by internal perception than by external vision. The language of these humans consisted of the sounds of nature.
He wrote about the land of the Rutas, a lost land that ancient sources claimed was in the Indian Ocean but which he placed in the Pacific Ocean and associated with Atlantis stories in Histoire des Vierges. Les Peuples et les continents disparus He amplified upon this in Occult Science in India , English translation He has been identified as a contributor to Rosicrucianism. The sial is generally absent in the ocean floor where the crust is a few kilometers thick, while the continents are huge solid blocks tens of kilometers thick.
Since continents float on the sima much like icebergs float on water, a continent cannot simply "sink" under the ocean. It is true that continental drift and seafloor spreading can change the shape and position of continents and occasionally break a continent into two or more pieces as happened to Pangaea.
However, these are very slow processes that occur in geological time scales hundreds of millions of years. Over the scale of history tens of thousands of years , the sima under the continental crust can be considered solid, and the continents are basically anchored on it. It is almost certain that the continents and ocean floors have retained their present position and shape for the whole span of human existence. There is also no conceivable event that could have "destroyed" a continent, since its huge mass of sial rocks would have to end up somewhere—and there is no trace of it at the bottom of the oceans.
The Pacific Ocean islands are not part of a submerged landmass but rather the tips of isolated volcanoes. Moreover, the "Triumphal Road" that Pierre Loti had reported ran from the island to the submerged lands below, is actually a natural lava flow.
Archaeological evidence[ edit ] After the Pleistocene , cultures of the Americas and the Old World developed social complexity independent of each other, [24] and, in fact, agriculture and sedentism emerged in multiple locations around the world after the inception of the Holocene at 11, BP.
Easter Island was first settled around AD [25] and the pukao on the moai are regarded as having ceremonial or traditional headdresses.
In the movie Atragon , Mu is an undersea kingdom. In the kaiju film Gamera vs. Jiger , Jiger originates from the lost continent of Mu. In the Doraemon film Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil , Doraemon and friends meet a young boy from Mu who is an undersea person.
They set out into the Bermuda Triangle to stop the army inside it. In the — anime Super Dimension Century Orguss , the main antagonists are robots that were built by the ancient civilization of the Mu that turned on their creators and tried to annihilate all remaining life on Earth.
Throughout the series, the robots are referred to as the Mu. Their evacuation was aided by the Eternals. Mu is the fifth of them the last one being Atlantis. The Andre Norton novel Operation Time Search features a modern-day protagonist cast back in time, where he participates in a war between Atlantis and Mu. The Mu Revealed is a humorous spoof [30] by Raymond Buckland purporting to describe the long lost civilization of Muror, located on the legendary lost continent of Mu.
The book was written under the pseudonym "Tony Earll", an anagram of "not really". The book claimed to present a translation of a diary compiled by a boy called Kland found and translated by an archaeologist named "Reedson Hurdlop", an anagram of "Rudolph Rednose". In the manga version of Shaman King — the final rounds of the Shaman Tournament, as well as the Great Spirit ceremony, are held on the island which is submerged and hidden by Patch Tribe rituals.

4 Who Is It For?
While the Sunny Health & Fitness Upright Exercise Bike is an affordable product, it boasts of innovative features, including those listed below.
49-pound Weighted Flywheel
This exercise bike features a 49-pound flywheel, which is quite heavy for a non-commercial model. This is a good thing since it adds to the resistance that it can deliver, especially if you want your cycling routine to be more challenging. This is also the one responsible for making you feel like riding a true road bike.
Whether you want a cycling experience gentle on the joints or you would like to challenge yourself to an intense workout, this exercise bike has you covered. There is a top press down brake, which will make it easy to adjust the resistance as you desire.
4-Way Adjustable Seat
It is not only the resistance that you can adjust in this product. You can also adjust the seat depending on what you find to be most comfortable. You can move it up, down, left, and right. You can also adjust the inseam height from 29 to 41 inches. Meanwhile, the distance from the seat to the handlebar can also be adjusted from 18 to 23 inches.
Push-Down Emergency Brake
If you need to stop the bike, you can use the push-down brake. This is one of the features that can help ensure your safety when cycling indoors.
Staying hydrated will be easy when you are using this upright exercise bike. You can keep your water bottle handy for easy access when you need to drink.
275-Pound Maximum Capacity
Despite having a heavy and durable frame, this model supports only a maximum user weight of 275 pounds. For heavier users, the Nautilus U618 is better since it can support users up to 325 pounds.
With all of these features, there's no doubt that the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1002 is a promising upright exercise bike. Click the button below and see why it is a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts.

Not convinced that the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1002 Exercise Bike is a good pick? Let's talk about some of their notable benefits below.
Operates Quietly
One of the things that we love the most about this product is how it is quiet when you are pedaling. Even if your workout gets more intense, you will be happy to know that there is no annoying noise, which will also let you concentrate on your workout. This is quiet because it comes with a belt-drive system. There is another version that comes with a chain drive, which is louder.
Some upright exercise bikes can be a pain to put together. Luckily, with this model, the assembly will never be a problem. It is shipped with most of the components already pre-assembled, so you do not need to exert a lot of effort before it is ready to use.
Smooth Cycling Motion
Every pedal stroke will be smooth and gentle, which means that it will not be putting too much strain on your knees. However, this does not mean that it will not have a challenging resistance if you prefer to go hard when you are working out.
Pedals Come with Toe Cages
The more aggressive you pedal during indoor cycling workouts, the higher is the likelihood that your foot will slip. There's one less problem to be worried about when using this exercise bike. The toe cages will help secure your feet even as you gain momentum when cycling.
Like the Schwinn A10, the price of this exercise bike is another reason why it is popular. The manufacturer proves that not all good things have to be expensive. Despite being cheap, it offers a plethora of features that will make it an exceptional product.
Admittedly, the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1002 Belt-Drive Exercise Bike is far from perfect. Here are some of its drawbacks.
No LCD
One of the biggest problems with this product is that it does not come with a digital display. This can be a problem for most people since there is no way to track the progress of your workout, such as time, speed, and calories burned. If you prefer one that comes with LCD, a good alternative to consider would be Schwinn 170.
Requires Regular Maintenance
Before buying this upright exercise bike, take note that it will require quite an effort when it comes to care and maintenance. This is because it has friction pad resistance, which can be easily prone to wear.
Weighing 115 pounds, this is heavy. This means that you will have a hard time moving it around because of its weight. Even if it comes with transport wheels, a lot of its users noted that it can still be quite a struggle to change the location of this exercise bike.
This is a great investment for people looking for an affordable upright exercise bike that they can use for cardio exercises at home. It is for those who believe that being affordable does not mean being inferior.
In sum, the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1002 promises excellent performance without punching holes in your pocket. This exercise bike offers adjustable resistance to suit your fitness level. It is also known for its smooth and quiet pedaling action, allowing you to concentrate on your workout. Another reason why it is well-loved by many is its solid construction, which also makes it stable.

Grubhub delivery drivers sue over contractor status
By Amina Elahi

Grubhub is the subject of a new class action lawsuit. (Keri Wiginton / Blue Sky)
A new federal lawsuit claims Grubhub misclassified its delivery drivers as independent contractors across the country, the latest salvo in a legal battle that has spread across the gig economy.
The Chicago-based food ordering and delivery company is also involved in a similar federal case in California that was filed last September. Boston-based attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, of Lichten & Liss-Riordan, is representing plaintiffs in both cases against Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB).
Liss-Riordan recently settled a case with gig economy giant Uber for up to $100 million over alleged worker misclassification, representing about 385,000 drivers in California and Massachusetts. She has also represented workers in cases against Lyft, Instacart, DoorDash and others.
"In recent years, there have been a number of companies that call themselves part of the on-demand economy … that dispatch their workforce using an app," Liss-Riordan said. "They somehow think that using an app to dispatch their workers allows them to avoid all the responsibilities of being an employer."
Liss-Riordan said she has noticed more sharing economy companies choosing to classify their workers as employees rather than independent contractors, like Instacart, Shyp, Luxe Valey, Munchery, Eden and Honor.
The new suit seeks class-action status. Liss-Riordan said she doesn't know the potential size of the Grubhub class, which could include drivers from all over the U.S. excluding California, but that she expects there could be tens of thousands of them.
The cost to Grubhub, she said, could be "quite substantial" — though she doesn't expect the case to match the scale of the Uber case.
Six plaintiffs from Illinois, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut alleged that they were treated as employees by Grubhub but denied overtime pay when they worked more than 40 hours a week. They also said they didn't make minimum wage when they factored in the cost of fuel; the cost of owning, leasing and maintaining vehicles; and the cost of cellular data.
"Grubhub has misclassified its delivery drivers as independent contractors and, in so doing, has committed wage and hour violations under a variety of federal and state statutes," the plaintiffs' lawyers wrote in a complaint, which was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court's Northern Illinois District.
The suit requests permission to notify other Grubhub delivery drivers of the class action, compensation including all wages owed, costs and attorney's fees and an order that Grubhub comply with the Fair Labor Standard Act and appropriate state labor laws.
Plaintiff Thomas Souran, of Chicago, alleged he was mistreated by Grubhub while he was driving for them from December 2014 until August 2015. He said Grubhub should have paid overtime and expenses; that he was bitten by a dog while delivering, wasn't covered by insurance and lost several days of work; and that he was forced out of a contract and terminated without notice.
"Grubhub treated the drivers as outsiders, while they used corporate money (shareholder money) to throw parties, buy lunch and dinner for all employees and the drivers were the ones that were out in the cold and heat delivering and making it happen," Souran told Blue Sky Innovation in an email.
Souran said he hopes all of Grubhub's independent contractors will be reclassified as employees and that the company will pay overtime and expenses.
Grubhub declined to comment specifically on the lawsuit, citing company policy against talking about pending litigation. However, in an emailed statement, a company spokeswoman said Grubhub works "around the lives of our delivery drivers."
"We believe that the delivery partners who decide to contract with Grubhub value the ability to earn income while enjoying the freedom of a flexible work schedule," the statement said. "Additionally, while our delivery business is rapidly growing — we're currently in 50 markets — most restaurants on the Grubhub platform manage their own delivery operations."

Hawthorne and Redemption the Scarlet Letter Research Paper

Hawthorne and the Redemptive Aim in the Scarlet Letter
for only $8.97. As Hawthorne noted several times in his own works, he wrote "romances" -- not novels. The Romance writer, he contended, gave himself a degree of "latitude" that a novelist could not enjoy (Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables 1). What Hawthorne attempts to "enjoy," so to speak, in The Scarlet Letter is the reconciliation of diametrically opposed forces. On the one hand is Hester, who is ready to quit the Puritan community and embrace "freedom" (Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter 175) -- freedom from sin, from guilt, from the past, from societal constraints, from judgment, from everything. On the other hand is Dimmesdale, who knows that there is no redemption in such a life as the one Hester is tempted to pursue. In between the two is the Calvinist-Puritanical community which is so severe and harsh that it seemingly drives a wedge between itself and any real concept of Christian charity, grace, or atonement. It effectively reduces itself to the level of the Biblical Jews who wish to "cast stones" (John 8:7) at the sinful woman and who are in turn roundly condemned by the same God Whom the Puritans think they are pleasing when they pin the letter to Hester's chest. In their marginalization of her, they are no different from other groups who, in the past as well as the present, seek to suppress others in order to save, elevate or differentiate themselves. This paper will show how it is Hawthorne's objective to overcome the obstacle of bad faith, or spiritual blindness within the Puritan community (including the characters of Hester, Dimmesdale and Chillingworth), by effecting a true reconciliation through a redemptive or cleansing act -- which in the case of the novel consists of a full confession, a humbling, and a prayer. It is part of Hawthorne's sense of reality that he chose to identify the novel as a "romance" because, realistically speaking, the tale needed a little "magical realism" -- or infusion of grace (not necessarily the stuff of the realistic novel) in order to arrive at the conclusion he sought to produce.
Research Paper on Hawthorne and Redemption the Scarlet Letter Assignment
To better understand the objective that Hawthorne aims to achieve, it is necessary to look at his method. As Marshall McLuhan observes, "The medium is the message" (1), and for Hawthorne the medium (in the sense of that which he uses to effect his desired end) is the Puritan community. That he should choose the "romantic" route through this medium to his end is indicative of the message which the Puritan community itself effects: it is a contradictory message, which can be seen in the words that they historically preach and in the actions that they historically take. Hawthorne couples the actions (the identification of Hester as an adulterer and her subsequent marginalization) with the preaching (the final speech of Dimmesdale which serves as both sermon and confession) to overcome the difficulty of the novel -- and he does so by what Wendy Faris might well call "magical realism" (though this is certainly not a term invented in the 19th century but rather the 20th and typically applies to those post-colonial works of a particular surrealist quality, wherein the everyday reality is blended with an imaginative, spiritual reality). It might apply to Hawthorne's novel in the sense that he effects the final conversion of characters (except that of the incorrigible sinner Chillingworth) through the working of "a native grace" as well as the hand of "Providence" (The Scarlet Letter, 89). By "magical realism," Faris means the combination of "realism and the fantastic so that the marvelous seems to grow organically within the ordinary, blurring the distinction between them ... [including] different cultural traditions ... [and reflecting] the hybrid nature of much postcolonial society" (p. 1). The blended traditions in the novel, of course, would be the somewhat recently developed Protestant tradition and the more ancient and long-seated Christian or Catholic tradition of the Old World (from which notions of penance, confession, atonement, and redemption spring long before they do in the Protestantized New World. In this sense, Hawthorne utilizes the "fantastic" by his own admission (by writing in the "romance" genre and digging into the spiritual depths) to deal directly with the reality.
Colacurcio points out that for Hawthorne, the tactic of calling his works "romances" allowed him to embrace a "more fictional, and therefore less realistic" form of narrative (Colacurcio 31). In other words, Hawthorne's novels were not to be read as works of realism (which was a term not even defined in antebellum America), but rather his works, instead, were to be read almost as one would read a fable -- full of symbols and interpretable meaning. Indeed, among his published works were many short stories that read as fables -- tales of morality and immorality and the effect of sin on the soul, mind and body of the individual (as well as the community). Hawthorne's "romance" writing was not like modern "romances" which are geared towards the fulfillment of lovers' wishes. His idea of a "romance" was that which pealed back the veneer of reality to get to the heart of human nature. Novels of "realism," he felt, did not do the trick: they merely concentrated on the surface, the superficial expression of life in its day-to-day enactments.
Hawthorne did not shy away from such day-to-day expressions but he did look beneath them to the psychological, spiritual motivation -- which he then depicted in his "romantic" way, meaning in his expressive, symbolic, fable-like way -- a forerunner perhaps to the genre of magical realism (replacing the genre's surrealism with spiritualism instead). Thus, in the Scarlet Letter itself can be seen a visual representation of that which lurks beneath the surface, the veneer, the faAade, the superficial reality. It is a symbol of sin -- and yet only Hester wears it (as though she were the only human being in the community who had ever committed a sin). What is unsaid but implied by Hawthorne is that sin lurks beneath the surface of nearly everyone, and it is only "seen" in society when the effects of sin (such as childbirth out of wedlock) are clearly visible. That is why Hester is given the letter to wear -- because she is the one among them whom everyone can know that is a sinner (they in their hypocrisy act like the Jews who seek to stone the woman and who are in turn admonished by Christ, who says, "Ye without sin cast the first stone" (John 8:7) -- and of course they all drop their stones and leave, a Biblical point which supports the implicit theme of Hawthorne's "romance"). They are also similar to Shirley Jackson's community in "The Lottery" who seek to hurl down their bloodlust upon any random member of society -- it does not matter -- just so long as they can hurl it down upon someone.
The sin of the Puritans in the novel, therefore, is that they hurl stones (cast judgments). The sin of Dimmesdale is two-fold (he commits adultery and then allows his flock to socially stone Hester out of fear for his own person). The sin of Chillingworth, of course, is that of the cuckolded husband seeking revenge. In short, no one is without sin in the community (except perhaps Pearl -- a direct reference to the Baroque age, since "Baroque" means pearl (Bauer 3), and was a type of art that the Catholic world used as part of its counter-Reformation campaign to undo the Protestantization of Europe) (Laux 422). Pearl represents mankind with its native grace and yet with its own touch of Original Sin (which means it too is in need of saving grace). The hypocrisy of the Puritan community is thus explicit: it judges and therefore risks being judged by God in turn (Matthew 7:1). The Puritans should know better, since they seek the pure spirituality; they fail, and thus Hawthorne uses the symbol of their failure (the letter) to move the plot towards redemption -- the realization, not that "we are sinners all alike" (224) as some of the more incorrigible, wizened spectators sanctimoniously believe (and though this is true, it is not the main point for his sermon is not just a sermon but also a confession), but that indeed grace can be re-introduced into the soul through confession of one's sins, which is a gray, shadowy Biblical point that the Puritan community made uncomfortable by. The point is there, however, and must be made, for Hawthorne's aim is not to make the New Englanders of his own day feel more comfortable with themselves but rather to look into their own souls and see how they stand in relation to the God Who made them.
In today's world, it is decidedly as difficult if not more so to see how Hawthorne's stratagem works towards its aim. The same sort of hypocrisy that plagues the Puritans is demonstrated again and again, as individuals… [END OF PREVIEW] . . . READ MORE

Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes Dual Ended Eye Sticks are THE Thing!
I was given an awesome opportunity to try out these **new** products from Rimmel London. Rimmel London has been killing it in the beauty world for me lately and these are no exception. The Magnif'Eyes (great name first of all) double ended liner and shadow stick is all my world right now. You can pick these up at Target, now! There are 4 colors in total and I get to show you two of them!
I have been rocking the blue liner all week and I just love how diverse the fat liner stick is. It's so easy to work with and you can use it as a thin line or smudge it for a more smokey look. I showed a little of both below. The shadow end of this stick is a charcoal shimmer. It is perfect for a smoked out eye, too. The combination of these two together is amazzzzzing!
This is an amazing duo. The deep eggplant purple up against the shimmery pearlescent pink is soooo pretty. I love this purple liner. It's not too bright and it applies perfectly. The pink is very, very sparkly so you only need a little swipe.
The formula on these are both creamy and smooth. They stay pretty much all day. No smudging, no bleeding, and no transferring. Once it's on, it's on until you take it off. I love this since most creamy shadows I have tried do end up above my lid or under my lower lash. Say it with me...."Magnif'Eyes". How cool?
Anyway, what do you think of these? Do you like the color duo?

Falls and injuries related to a fall have a way of complicating life very quickly. For the family of an aging loved one coming home from the hospital is the just beginning of a road to recovery. We are accustomed to moving around our house and caring for ourselves freely. When we are without the use of an arm or a leg the daily tasks of living become difficult. We take for granted every day that we can open a milk carton or a pill bottle or take a shower and dress ourselves. Even if we have the reassurance that we will recover, asking for help and inviting someone to assist in our most intimate tasks is challenging. Our American culture values independence as much as it values youthfulness. Perhaps they are two sides of the same coin. To be "forever young", as the song references, is to be forever independent and useful. An injury or aging itself can remind us that a key aspect of our humanity is our need for community, companionship, and others to get through the day. This can take many forms throughout our lifetime. Our needs vary from when we first have a child, to when we lose a loved one, to when we take on an ambitious project. The point is that to be human means to need things from one another.
Good nutrition for your body to rebuild and accommodation of special diets.
Quality companionship to engage the mind and stay positive and connected to your life.
